Nitpicker red: Reporting a missing patch of grass

There is a patch of grass missing from the data. The brown patch of grass should be counted as being in Giant's Mirror.
From what I've seen, that patch of grass seemingly has the same spawns as Dusty Bowl's grass, but of course since it's in a different area it can have a different weather.
I was hunting for Sableye, and it appears in two places in the dex (Dusty Bowl and Giant's Mirror), and Sableye caught there (Giant's Mirror's patch of brown grass) will have "caught in Giant's Mirror" in their description.

'''Sableye''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヤミラミ''' ''Yamirami'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Sableye can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Sableye''' using the [[Sablenite‎]].

==Biology==
Sableye is a bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a dark purple body, armed with sharp teeth and claws, which it uses to dig through soil. It has pale blue, gemstone-like eyes, which allow it to see in low light and sparkle in the dark. It also has a red gemstone on its chest, and its back has a blue and green gemstone as well as another red one. These gem-like eyes and adornments on its body are caused by its diet, which consists of rocks and raw gemstones. It also targets {{p|Carbink}} as prey, though they are usually taken by {{p|Gabite}} before Sableye can reach them. It is feared by people since it is said to steal a person's soul if they look into its eyes. It is nocturnal and is rarely seen. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|caves}}.

As Mega Sableye, all the energy from its Mega Evolution is concentrated into the red jewel on its chest, causing it to rip out of Sableye's skin and significantly increase in size; the detached jewel leaves a small hole in Mega Sableye's chest. Its ears elongate, and it gains a spike on the top of its head. Its teeth turn from white to yellow, and its eyes also change from pale blue to a crimson red, with diagonal slits at their inner edges. Its back gains more gems: a second green one, a second red one, and two small yellow gems. The enlarged jewel is said to boast such incredible hardness that no attack can even leave a scratch on it. During battle, Mega Sableye shelters itself behind the jewel, from where it can take advantage of any openings its target leaves exposed.<ref name= "Mega">http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/new-mega-evolutions/mega-sableye</ref> However, being forced to support its massive jewel leaves Sableye unable to turn quickly, making it vulnerable from behind.

==Trivia==
* Sableye seems to be the counterpart of {{p|Mawile}}. Both of them are [[version-exclusive]] to {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, and {{pkmn|Sword and Shield}}. Both also have [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] forms and the same [[base stats|base stat totals]], as well as [[HP]] and {{stat|Speed}}.
* Sableye shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Murkrow}}. They are both known as the Darkness Pokémon.
* Mega Sableye is the slowest {{type|Dark}} Pokémon.
* Prior to the introduction of the {{t|Fairy}} type in [[Generation VI]], Sableye (along with {{p|Spiritomb}}) had no elemental weaknesses under normal battle conditions (using {{m|Foresight}} can expose its Dark-type vulnerability to {{t|Fighting}}). As this occurred without the aid of an [[Ability]], it was commonly hacked to have the ability {{a|Wonder Guard}}, making it immune to all direct damage. This hack is commonly referred to as [[Wondereye]].

===Origin===
Sableye seems to be a stylization of the {{wp|Kelly–Hopkinsville encounter|Hopkinsville Goblin}}, a creature from an alleged Kentucky "alien encounter" described as having shining eyes, small legs, clawed arms and swaying hips (a movement that Sableye imitates in the 3D Pokémon games). The Hopkinsville aliens are most famous in Japan, where they have appeared in other anime and video games.

The [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|ruby, sapphire]], and [[Pokémon Emerald Version|emerald]] on Sableye's body may be a reference to the three games of the [[Generation III|generation]] it debuted in.

====Name origin====
Sableye is a combination of ''{{wp|Sable (heraldry)|sable}}'' and ''{{wp|eye}}''. It may also be a play on ''able-eyed''.

Yamirami may be a combination of 闇 ''yami'' (darkness) and 藪睨み ''yabunirami'' (a {{wp|squint}}) or 睨み ''nirami'' (glare).

'''Feint''' (Japanese: '''フェイント''' ''Feint'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

==Effect==
===Generation IV===
Feint inflicts damage but only strikes a target that has used {{m|Protect}} or {{m|Detect}} during that turn, lifting the effects of Protect or Detect for the remainder of the turn. Feint cannot remove the effects of protecting moves if it misses or does not affect the target (such as if the target is {{type|Ghost}}).

Feint has an increased [[priority]] of +2, so is used after Protect or Detect, but before other increased priority attacks.

===Generation V===
Feint can now inflict damage even if the target has not used {{m|Protect}} or {{m|Detect}}, and its power has changed from 50 to 30.

Despite being an increased priority move, Feint will lift the effects of {{m|Wide Guard}} and {{m|Quick Guard}} for the remainder of the turn only if they are used on an opposing team. Feint is not blocked by an opponent's Quick Guard, but it is blocked by an ally's if it targets an ally.

===Generation VI onward===
Feint will now lift the effects of Quick Guard and Wide Guard when used on allies, and it is no longer blocked by an ally's Quick Guard.

Feint can now be copied by {{m|Mirror Move}}.

Feint hits a target even if it is protected by {{m|Mat Block}}, {{m|Spiky Shield}}, {{m|King's Shield}}, {{m|Baneful Bunker}}, or {{m|Obstruct}} and removes that protection for the rest of the turn. The user of Feint does not suffer the negative effects of its target's Spiky Shield, King's Shield, Baneful Bunker, or Obstruct.

Feint hits a target even if it is protected by {{m|Max Guard}} but does not remove the protection.

Feint removes {{m|Crafty Shield}} and Mat Block from the target's team.

Nitpicker red: Everstone and Mints: don't work

{{redirect|Quirky|the Pokémon Musical category|Pokémon Musical#Shows|Pokémon Musical}}
{{redirect|Relaxed|the [[Pokémon Super Contest]] theme|Visual Competition}}
{{redirect|Naughty|the Natu belonging to McKenzie|McKenzie#Naughty|McKenzie → Naughty}}
'''Natures''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|性格|せいかく}}''' ''nature'') are a mechanic that influences how a Pokémon's [[Statistic|stats]] grow. They were introduced in [[Generation III]].

A Pokémon's Nature is displayed on the Pokémon's [[summary]] screen. From {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} onward, the stats affected by a Pokémon's Nature are highlighted on their summary screens: the increased stat is notated in red text and the decreased stat is notated in blue text.

==Mechanics==
A Pokémon's Nature usually affects the value of two of its stats, ultimately increasing one of its non-{{stat|HP}} stats ({{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Defense}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, {{stat|Special Defense}}, or {{stat|Speed}}) by 10% and decreasing another by 10%. Starting in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the stats increased or decreased by a Pokémon's Nature have (respectively) a red or blue highlight on a Pokémon's summary screen.

Natures also determine the Pokémon's favorite [[flavor]] and its disliked flavor: Each stat is associated with a flavor, and each Pokémon's favorite flavor is the one associated with the stat increased by its Nature, while it dislikes the flavor associated with the decreased stat. For example, since the Lonely Nature increases a Pokémon's {{stat|Attack}} stat (which is associated with the Spicy flavor) and decreases its {{stat|Defense}} stat (which is associated with the Sour flavor), a Pokémon with a Lonely Nature has Spicy as its favorite flavor and dislikes Sour flavors.

Every Nature represents one of the 25 unique possible combinations of stat increase and decrease; thus, there are five Natures that have no effect on the Pokémon's stat growth as they technically increase and decrease the same stat (Bashful, Docile, Hardy, Quirky, and Serious).

In [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], [[Mint]]s were introduced. When used on a Pokémon, these items change the effect of a Pokémon's Nature on its stats to that of the Nature corresponding to the Mint used. However other traits determined by Nature, such as a Pokémon's flavor preferences, are unchanged. Mints also do not change which Nature is passed down using an [[Everstone]].

==Determination==
{{incomplete|section|needs=When a bred Pokémon's Nature is determined in the Gen VI+ games, when a roaming Pokémon's nature is determined}}
A Pokémon's Nature is determined when it is generated by the game: when it is encountered in the {{pkmn2|wild}}, when it is obtained as an {{pkmn|Egg}}, or when it is given to the {{player}} by a [[non-player character]]. In the [[Generation III]] games (except {{game|Emerald}}) and the [[Generation V]] games, a Pokémon's Nature is determined when the player receives the Egg from the Day-Care Man; in Pokémon Emerald and the Generation IV games, a Pokémon's Nature is determined when the Day-Care Man obtains the Egg. A Pokémon's nature cannot be changed once generated.

In Generations III and IV, Nature is determined by the Pokémon's [[personality value]]. From Generation V onward, it is stored in an unrelated variable.

A Pokémon transported to [[Pokémon Bank]] from a [[Virtual Console]] [[core series]] game has its nature set upon being transported. Its Nature is the Nature with the index number that corresponds to the Pokémon's total [[experience]] in Generation I and II {{wp|modulo}} 25 (the Pokémon's experience is then reset to the minimum amount of experience required for its current level).

===Breeding===
From {{game|Emerald}} onward, a {{p|Ditto}} or a female {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that holds an [[Everstone]] has a 50% chance of passing its Nature to its [[Pokémon breeding|offspring]]. Starting in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, male Pokémon can also pass on their Nature by holding an Everstone. From {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}} onward, a Pokémon holding an Everstone will always pass its Nature to its offspring.

In [[Generation IV]], the Everstone only applies this effect if both Pokémon have the same language of origin. If they do not, the [[Masuda method]] applies instead to attempt to make the Pokémon {{Shiny}}, thereby unsetting the Nature that had previously been set. From [[Generation V]] onward, Nature is independent of the personality value and so both the Everstone and Masuda method can apply at once.

In games where either parent can pass down their Nature, if both Pokémon hold an Everstone, each parent has an equal chance of passing down their Nature to the offspring.

===In the wild===
====Hoenn Safari Zone====
In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, there are Pokéblock feeders throughout the {{Safari|Hoenn}}. If a Pokéblock is placed in a feeder, all wild Pokémon encountered in [[tall grass]] and [[water tile]]s up to five steps away from the feeder will have a Nature such that, if an identical Pokéblock were thrown at it, the Pokémon would be enthralled (i.e. its preferred [[flavor]] dominates its disliked flavor in the Pokéblock); the feeder has no effect if no such Nature exists. Only one Pokéblock may occupy a feeder, and the feeder's effect disappears after 100 steps are taken.

====Synchronize====
=====Generations III-V=====
From {{game|Emerald}} onward, if a Pokémon with {{a|Synchronize}} is in the first slot in the [[party]] (even if [[fainting|fainted]]) when a [[wild Pokémon]] is encountered, there is a 50% chance that the game will force it to have the same Nature as the Pokémon in the first slot. (Otherwise, the Nature is chosen at random, so the Pokémon still has a 1 in 25 chance of having the same Nature as the lead Pokémon.) This does not apply to [[roaming Pokémon]], Pokémon in the [[Pokéwalker]], or Pokémon in the [[Entree Forest]]. In Emerald, it also does not apply to stationary Pokémon (such as {{p|Regirock}} or {{p|Rayquaza}}).

=====Generation VI=====
From {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} onward, if a Pokémon with Synchronize is leading the party, [[gift Pokémon]] (except Pokémon obtained via [[Mystery Gift]] and {{pkmn|Egg}}s) that are in the {{egg3|Undiscovered}} will always have the same Nature as the Pokémon with this Ability.

=====Generation VII=====
From {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} onward, if a Pokémon with Synchronize is leading the party, [[gift Pokémon]] (except Pokémon obtained via [[Mystery Gift]] and {{pkmn|Egg}}s) will always have the same Nature as the Pokémon with this Ability regardless of [[Egg Group]].

=====Generation VIII=====
In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, if a Pokémon with Synchronize is leading the party, wild Pokémon are now guaranteed to have the same Nature as the leading Pokémon.

====Madam Celadon====
In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the player can pay Madam Celadon in the {{ci|Celadon}} [[Pokémon Center]] {{pdollar}}10,000 to force all Pokémon encountered in the wild (including in the [[GO Park|GO Park complex]] and Pokémon the player must defeat in a {{pkmn|battle}}) or received as a gift (including revived [[fossil]]s, but not [[in-game trade]]s or Mystery Gift) to have a specific Nature until midnight. Madam Celadon has the player select two flowers whose colors each represent a [[statistic|stat]]:

* Red for Attack
* Yellow for Defense
* Blue for Special Attack
* Green for Special Defense
* Pink for Speed

The first flower the player chooses determines the stat the Nature increases, and the second flower determines the stat it decreases. While the effect does last for the rest of the day, the player can change the nature at any time by paying Madam Celadon again. Due to the lack of breeding and Abilities, this is the only way to influence Natures in these games.

==List of Natures==
The following table lists each one of the 25 Natures and their effects on a Pokémon.

===Battle Palace===
{{main|Battle Palace}}
In the [[Battle Palace]] and in [[Verdanturf Town]]'s [[Battle Tent]], Trainers do not control their Pokémon during {{pkmn|battle}}. Instead, Pokémon have different battle styles depending on their Nature.

All moves are grouped into three categories: Attack, Defense (primarily status moves targeting the user), and Support (primarily status moves targeting the opponent).

All Natures have a set ratio of Attack, Defense, and Support moves that Pokémon with that Nature will prefer to use. These ratios may change when the Pokémon's {{stat|HP}} falls below 50%. During battle, a Pokémon will select a category in which it wants to attack and then select a random attack from its moveset that fits that category; if no such attack exists, the Pokémon will "appear incapable of using its power" and skip its turn.

===Purification===
In [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], a Pokémon's Nature influences the efficacy of different [[purification]] methods. An action that greatly lowers the [[Heart Gauge]] of one [[Shadow Pokémon]] might do very little for another one based on their respective Natures.

===Other===
In {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, a man in the house closest to the [[Sunyshore City]] Heritage Site asks to see Pokémon with different Natures (Serious, Naive, and Quirky), and will give the {{player}} three [[Pokétch]] applications in return.

From [[Generation V]] onwards, the player can assign a Nature to their Trainer profile. In Generation V, this is part of their {{ga|Trainer Card}} and affects what the player will say on others' games at the [[Unity Tower]]. In [[Generation VI]], this is part of the player's profile in the [[Player Search System]].

==In the spin-off games==
===In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
{{incomplete|section|Nature quiz results in SMD and RTDX}}
In the {{g|Mystery Dungeon series}}, the Natures of the core series are used in the personality quizzes to determine what Pokémon the player turns into at the beginning of [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team, Blue Rescue Team]], [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Explorers of Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]]. The nature quiz is also present in {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}} and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX|Rescue Team DX]], but the player is allowed to select their own Pokémon if they do not like the Pokémon determined for them.

Nature in these games only influences the player's Pokémon, and does not affect their stats.

==In the anime==
Natures were first mentioned in ''[[SM041|Mounting an Electrifying Charge!]]'', where it was revealed that [[Sophocles's Charjabug]] had a Mild Nature. In addition, a young man named [[Horacio]] revealed that his {{Shiny}} {{TP|Horacio|Charjabug}} had a Timid Nature, which he believed to be perfect for the [[Charjabug race]]. However, these references to Natures were removed in the [[dub]].

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Since the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, the Natures of each [[Pokédex holder]]'s Pokémon have been visible on their bios.

In addition, {{adv|Ruby}} has a talent of being able to tell a Pokémon's Nature just by observing its [[move]]s and body language, allowing him to choose the correct [[Pokéblock]] [[flavor]] for them.

{{MoveResearch|Are PP Ups taken into account for maximum PP displayed for a transformed Pokémon in Generation I and II? How does transform interact with species-specific items, such as soul dew or eviolite?}}
===Generation I===
Transform changes the user's current type, current [[stats]] (except {{stat|HP}}), current stat modifications, current moves, current species, and current [[cry]] to that of the target's.

The transformed Pokémon retains its original coloration when displayed on a system that supports colors in the first place, such as the [[Super Game Boy]] or the [[Virtual Console]]. For instance, {{p|Ditto}} always transforms into a purple version of the target, except in {{game|Yellow}} where the front sprite of Ditto is gray instead, so Ditto appears as a gray version of the target when viewed from the front, but purple when viewed from the back.

Each move copied by Transform will have 5 remaining {{PP}} of the usual maximum. With this in mind, if a Ditto encounters another Ditto in this generation, both Ditto will continually Transform into each other, replenishing the 5 PP constantly and making the battle seemingly endless. {{cat|PP-restoring items}} such as [[Ether]]s used from the Bag can only restore PP to moves the Pokémon knows before transforming.

Transform does not copy the target's [[status condition]]s, level, current or maximum {{stat|HP}}, base experience, or the generic Minimize image. If a transformed Pokémon takes damage from a [[critical hit]], its original stats will be used rather than its stats after Transform. The probability of a transformed Pokémon scoring a critical hit is based on the original Pokémon's base Speed, not the base Speed of the Pokémon it transformed into.

Transform bypasses {{stat|accuracy}} checks to always hit, even if the target is in the {{cat|Moves with a semi-invulnerable turn|semi-invulnerable turn}} of a move such as {{m|Dig}} or {{m|Fly}}.

In-game, if a wild Pokémon uses Transform and is subsequently caught, it will become a {{p|Ditto}}, regardless of what species it originally was. It will then have all the stats and moves of a Ditto, except for its current HP, which will remain unaltered by this change.

If a wild Pokémon uses Transform twice and is subsequently caught, its [[Individual values|DVs]] will be the DVs of the first Pokémon it transformed into.

In [[Pokémon Stadium (English)|Pokémon Stadium]], Transform will not work if the target's current species is Ditto. The transformed Pokémon appears with the normal colors of the target.

===Generation II===
Like in Generation I, a transformed Pokémon retains its original palette colors. For instance, a non-[[Shiny]] {{p|Ditto}} is purple, so it always transforms into a purple version of the opponent. Similarly, a Shiny Ditto is blue, so it transforms into a blue version of the opponent.

A transformed Pokémon retains its original species for determining if it is boosted by Pokémon-specific [[stat-enhancing item]]s, with the exception of [[Metal Powder]], which uses the target's species.

If a Pokémon transforms into a Pokémon that knows {{m|Sketch}}, Sketch will have its maximum 1 PP rather than 5 like other moves.

Transform will now fail if used on a transformed opponent or if the target is in the {{cat|Moves with a semi-invulnerable turn|semi-invulnerable turn}} of a move such as {{m|Dig}} or {{m|Fly}}. Wild Pokémon are now treated as their original species upon capture after transforming, rather than being treated as Ditto like in Generation I.

Transform will correctly copy {{p|Unown}}'s letter.

In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], Transform is able to work even if the target is a Ditto (unlike the previous generation). If Transform is used by a [[Shiny Pokémon]], it will cause the Pokémon species transformed into to appear Shiny. Likewise, a normal Pokémon transforming into a Shiny target's species will appear as a normal version.

===Generation III===
{{MoveResearch|Interaction with Deoxys's forms in link battles between games in which Deoxys has different forms}}
Transform, if used by a [[Shiny Pokémon]], will cause the Pokémon species transformed into to appear Shiny. Likewise, a normal Pokémon transforming into a Shiny target's species will appear as a normal version.

Transform copies the target Pokémon's [[Ability]], replacing its own. Starting in this generation, Transform also copies the [[catch rate]], the base [[experience]], and the EV yield of the target.

[[Leppa Berry|Leppa Berries]] used from the Bag or as a held item can only restore PP to moves the Pokémon knows before transforming. A held Leppa Berry will only be consumed if a move known before transforming reaches 0 PP. The maximum PP of a move known due to Transform is the move's base maximum PP, regardless of any [[PP Up]]s used by the target.

If a Pokémon transforms into a Pokémon with multiple [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forms]], it will copy the form of the target. If a Pokémon transforms into a {{p|Castform}} and has the Ability {{a|Forecast}}, it will change form depending on the [[weather]] after transforming into Castform's current form.

During a Pokémon Contest, the Pokémon will transform into one of the other contestants.

===Generation IV===
Transform now copies the target's coloration; whether or not the transformed Pokémon is {{Shiny}} depends on whether the target is, not the user.

A held [[Leppa Berry]] will be consumed if the Pokémon runs out of PP for a move it knows due to Transform. If a Leppa Berry is consumed via {{m|Bug Bite}}, {{m|Pluck}} or {{m|Fling}}, it will restore PP to a move known due to Transform. A Leppa Berry consumed as a held item, or via {{m|Bug Bite}}, {{m|Pluck}} or {{m|Fling}}, can restore a move's PP above the 5 Transform gives, as long as it doesn't exceed the move's maximum PP.

If a Pokémon transforms into [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Giratina|Origin Forme]] {{p|Giratina}} or {{p|Arceus}}, the Pokémon first transforms into the target's current form, then immediately changes to the form corresponding to its own held item; therefore, if it transforms into an Arceus but holds a [[Plate]], it will first assume the target Arceus's form, then immediately change to the form corresponding to its own Plate (even if the transformed Pokémon had its Ability suppressed by {{m|Gastro Acid}}). If a Pokémon transforms into Origin Forme Giratina in the [[Distortion World]], it will remain in Origin Forme regardless of its held item. If a Pokémon transforms into {{p|Cherrim}}, it will change form depending on the [[weather]]. If a Pokémon transforms into Sky Forme {{p|Shaymin}}, it will change to Land Forme if it is {{status|frozen}}.

As in previous generations, a transformed Pokémon retains its original species for determining if it is boosted by Pokémon-specific [[stat-enhancing item]]s, with the exception of [[Metal Powder]] and [[Quick Powder]], which use the target's species.

During a [[Pokémon Super Contest]], the Pokémon will transform into one of the other contestants.

===Generation V===
Transform no longer copies the target's [[catch rate]]. Transform will now fail if used by a Pokémon that is already transformed, targeting a Pokémon behind a {{m|substitute}}, or targeting a Pokémon under the effect of {{a|Illusion}}.

A move known due to Transform now always has a maximum of at most 5 PP, regardless of the move's base maximum PP if it is greater than 5. As such, a Leppa Berry cannot restore the PP of a move known due to Transform above 5.

A transformed Pokémon can no longer change forms; it will remain in the form the target was in when the user transformed into it. For example, if a Pokémon transforms into {{p|Castform}}, it will not change form even if the [[weather]] changes.

{{a|Imposter}}, {{p|Ditto}}'s signature Ability introduced in [[Generation V]], automatically causes the user to transform into the opponent.

Pokémon that know Transform are banned from participating in [[Pokéstar Studios]] films.

In [[Generation V]], using Transform while holding a Choice item (the [[Choice Band]], [[Choice Scarf]], or [[Choice Specs]]) on a target that also knows Transform will force the user to continue using Transform.

===Generation VI===
{{MoveResearch|Interaction with choice items on targets who also know Transform aside from Generation V}}
The user will transform into [[Mega Evolution|Mega-Evolved]] Pokémon and maintain the form regardless of whether it holds the required [[Mega Stone]]. This has no effect on the restriction that only allows each player one Mega Evolution per battle. Also, a Pokémon that transforms into a species that has a Mega Evolution (but is not yet Mega Evolved) will be unable to Mega Evolve, even if the transformed Pokémon holds the corresponding Mega Stone.

A transformed Pokémon can use moves exclusive to a species it has transformed into, such as {{m|Hyperspace Fury}} if transformed into {{p|Hoopa}} Unbound.

Transform will fail if used on a Pokémon that is protected by {{m|Crafty Shield}}.

In Pokémon Contest Spectaculars, if Transform is used, a {{m|Substitute}} doll would be thrown in the stage. The user would then transform into the doll. The effects of Transform will last for the round it is used in.

===Generation VII===
Even if a Pokémon transforms into Meteor Form {{p|Minior}}, {{a|Shields Down}} will not prevent a transformed Pokémon from being afflicted with [[status condition]]s.

If powered up by a [[Normalium Z]] into Z-Transform, the user's HP is fully restored.

A transformed Pokémon can use [[Z-Move]]s exclusive to a species it has transformed into and if it holds an appropriate [[Z-Crystal]] (excluding {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Ultra}} {{p|Necrozma}}). If the user has transformed into a Mega-Evolved Pokémon, it cannot use any Z-Moves, even if it holds an appropriate Z-Crystal.

If the user transforms into a Pokémon that has no type (i.e. it was a pure {{t|Fire}} type that used {{m|Burn Up}}), the user will become {{type|Normal}}; if such a target has additionally been affected by {{m|Forest's Curse}} or {{m|Trick-or-Treat}}, the user will become Normal-type with an added {{t|Grass}} or {{t|Ghost}} type respectively. If the user transforms into a dual-typed Pokémon that has used Burn Up, however, Transform will copy the target's current types (and type additions) as usual.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], if the user transforms into the {{ga|Partner Pokémon|Partner}} {{p|Pikachu}}{{sup/7|P}}/{{p|Eevee}}{{sup/7|E}}, it will also copy any [[clothing|clothes]] they have on them.

===Generation VIII===
If a Pokémon transforms into a Dynamax Pokémon, it will successfully transform but not become Dynamaxed. Transformed Pokémon can Dynamax, unless they are transformed into {{p|Zacian}}, {{p|Zamazenta}}, or {{p|Eternatus}}; if the user is already Dynamaxed, Transform will fail against these three Pokémon. Transform does not copy the [[Gigantamax Factor]], so even if a Pokémon transforms into a Pokémon that can Gigantamax, the transformed Pokémon will be able to Dynamax but not [[Gigantamax]].

==Glitches==
===--===
{{main|-- (move)}}
In Generation I, if a Pokémon transforms into another Pokémon that knows more moves and, while transformed, switches the position of the move in the slot of a legitimate move and one which should contain no move, after reverting to its original form, it will have access to the [[List of glitch moves|glitch move]] {{m|--}}.

===Ditto glitch===
{{main|Mew glitch#Ditto glitch|Mew glitch}}
The primary method of the Mew glitch involves having a wild Ditto transform into the player's Pokémon, as this copies the {{stat|Special}} stat, which is used to modify the species of Pokémon encountered.

===Transform assumption glitch===
In Generation {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}, any Pokémon that uses Transform is regarded as a {{p|Ditto}} in its new form; this means that if the player catches a {{p|Mew}} or a [[glitch Pokémon]] which has used the move Transform, or a Pokémon which has used Transform via {{m|Mirror Move}}, instead they will obtain a Ditto. Mew turning into Ditto was not an issue in these games because a wild Mew could not be legitimately encountered prior to [[Generation III]]. However, the Clefairy, Pidgey, and Fearow lines, which could be found in the wild, could use Transform via Metronome and Mirror Move, and would turn into Ditto on capture. This system was changed in Generation III.

{{youtubevid|VLBh7XIYaE0|v0id19|normal}}

===Shiny Ditto glitch===
{{main|List of glitches in Generation II#Shiny Ditto DV manipulation|List of glitches in Generation II → Shiny Ditto DV manipulation}}
The Shiny Ditto glitch requires a game from [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]], but only has an effect on a Generation II game. In Generation I, if a Pokémon uses the move {{m|Transform}} while already transformed, after being caught it will retain the {{IV}}s of the Pokémon it transformed into. Due to Shininess being determined by IVs in Generations I and II, this allows the player to make a wild Ditto Shiny by having it use Transform while already Transformed; this can be accomplished by either having a Shiny Pokémon that knows Transform ({{p|Mew}}, certain [[glitch Pokémon]], or another Ditto), or by teaching a Shiny Pokémon Mimic, then having the wild Ditto use Mimic on the move Transform. While Shiny Pokémon do not exist in Generation I, due to being determined by IVs, this Ditto will be Shiny when traded to Generation II.

===Sketch glitch===
{{main|Sketch glitch}}
In Generation II, if a Pokémon uses {{m|Sketch}} while transformed, it will permanently learn the Sketched move.

===Transform held item glitch===
{{main|List of glitches in Generation IV#Transform held item glitch|List of glitches in Generation IV → Transform held item glitch}}
In Japanese versions of Diamond and Pearl, if a Pokémon [[Held item|holding an item]] uses Transform and has its item stolen, as long as it does not faint before the end of the battle, both the transforming Pokémon and the thief will retain the item after the battle.

===Mimic glitch===
{{main|Mimic glitch}}
In Japanese versions of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, if a Pokémon uses Transform via {{m|Mimic}} then faints, it will keep the moves it learned via Transform.

===Rage glitch===
{{main|Rage glitch}}
In [[Generation IV]], if a transformed Pokémon uses {{m|Rage}} and causes the message "Rage is building" to appear, then defeats or captures the opponent, the Pokémon will permanently learn the moves it knew while transformed.

===Level up glitch===
{{GlitchResearch|It is currently unknown what other games this glitch is present in, if any.}}
In [[Pokémon Emerald]], if a transformed Pokémon levels up during battle, it will utilize its normal, non-transformed stats for the remainder of the fight.

==In other games==
===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]===
Prior to [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], Transform causes the user to take the form of a random hostile Pokémon on the dungeon's floor. It does not copy that Pokémon's moves, type combination, Abilities, or stats. It has only 1 PP, leaving the user only the basic attack and {{m|Struggle}} left to use (unless the user knows moves other than Transform).

In [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], Transform copies the appearance, type, Ability, moves, and stat modifications of the target for the current floor. Moves learned through {{m|Sketch}} while transformed will be forgotten after moving to the next floor. If used by an enemy to transform into the leader, the leader's teammates become confused.

Transformed Pokémon are still prone to [[status conditions]] and [[Dungeon tile]] restrictions from its original form; for example, a {{p|Ditto}} transformed into a {{type|Fire}} can still be [[burn]]ed, and a Pokémon that cannot walk through water still should not when transforming into a Pokémon that is able to.

===[[Pokémon GO]]===
In a {{OBP|Gym|GO}} or [[Raid Battle]], Transform is automatically cast at the beginning of the battle. It turns the user into a copy of the opponent and copies the opponent's [[move]]s, species, base Attack, and base Defense; HP, {{IV}}s, and [[Power Up]] level are not copied. Unlike other attacks, Transform does not require the user to wait out the duration before casting an attack or dodging, and its animation is purely visual. However, it may cause lags for the rest of the battle if the player attempts to attack during the animation. The effects of Transform expire at the end of the battle.

Transform will not be cast if the opponent is a Ditto.

==Trivia==
* In the German version of the [[Generation II]] games, this move was renamed from ''Wandler'' into ''Verwandler''. The reason for this is unknown. Even though the difference in meaning is minimal, this change was retracted in the following generations.
* Transform is the only way to see the battle animation of {{p|Cherrim}}'s [[List of Pokémon with form differences|Sunshine Form]] in [[Generation IV]], as Cherrim sent from a Poké Ball will always be sent out in Overcast Form, and Cherrim is not available in the wild in Generation IV. A Ditto that transforms into Cherrim, however, will play the animation of the alternate form if it escapes from a thrown Poké Ball.
* With the help of Transform, Pokémon can legitimately have more than 510 total [[effort values]]: if the target has EVs in some stats beside {{stat|HP}} and the Transform user has EVs in HP, after transforming the total number of its EVs can exceed 510 due to HP not being copied.

Catch rate

2020-08-29T08:21:18Z

Nitpicker red: /* Poké Ball effectiveness rates */ Sorted Dusk Ball effectiveness by increasing generation to ease readability and highlight that it decreased in gen VII (latest in line=latest in time)

{{incomplete|needs=Capture method and modifiers for Generation VII and all information for Generation VIII}}
{{redirect|Catch|the concept of catching a Pokémon|Caught Pokémon}}
Each {{OBP|Pokémon|species|species of Pokémon}} has a '''catch rate''' that applies to all its members. When a [[Poké Ball]] is thrown at a wild Pokémon, the game uses that Pokémon's catch rate in a formula to determine the chances of [[Caught Pokémon|catching]] that Pokémon. Higher catch rates mean that the Pokémon is easier to catch, up to a maximum of 255. The formula also takes into account the following factors:

* The health of the Pokémon (relative to its full health)
* The type of [[Poké Ball]]
* Any [[status condition]] of the wild Pokémon
* Any active {{DL|Entralink|Pass Powers}} (in [[Generation V]]), [[O-Powers]] (in [[Generation VI]]), or Rotom Powers (in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}})

Other factors, such as the Pokémon's [[level]] and encounter rate, have no bearing on its chances of being caught.

Poké Balls that guarantee capture (the [[Master Ball]] and [[Park Ball]], and any Poké Ball used on [[Kalos Route 2]]{{sup/6|XY}}, {{rt|101|Hoenn}}{{sup/6|ORAS}}, [[Alola Route 1]]{{sup/7|SMUSUM}} prior to the start of the festival in [[Iki Town]], or in the [[Entralink|Entree Forest]]) bypass the catching formula entirely.

==Capture method (Generation I)==
The capture method in [[Generation I]] differs significantly from those of later generations. To determine whether a Pokémon is caught or not, the steps below are performed. If, at any point, the Pokémon is caught or breaks free, the steps following that point are not performed.
# If a [[Master Ball]] is used, the Pokémon is '''caught'''.
# Generate a random number, ''N'', depending on the type of ball used.
#* For a {{i|Poké Ball}}: 0 to 255.
#* For a [[Great Ball]]: 0 to 200.
#* Otherwise ([[Ultra Ball]] or [[Safari Ball]]): 0 to 150.
# The Pokémon is '''caught''' if...
#* It is asleep or frozen and ''N'' is less than 25.
#* It is paralyzed, burned, or poisoned and ''N'' is less than 12.
# Otherwise, if ''N'' minus the status threshold (above) is greater than the Pokémon's catch rate, the Pokémon '''breaks free'''.
# If not, generate a random value, ''M'', between 0 and 255.
# Calculate ''f'':
#* ''f'' = (HPmax * 255 * 4) / (HPcurrent * Ball), where all divisions are rounded down to the nearest integer. The minimum value of ''f'' is 1 and its maximum value is 255. The value of Ball is 8 if a Great Ball is used or 12 otherwise.
# If ''f'' is greater than or equal to ''M'', the Pokémon is '''caught'''. Otherwise, the Pokémon '''breaks free'''. In practical terms, lowering the target's HP to 1/3 of its maximum will guarantee capture with a Poké Ball, while lowering it to 1/2 will guarantee capture with a Great Ball.

If the Pokémon broke free, the steps below are performed to determine how many times the ball will shake.
# Calculate ''d'':
#* ''d'' = Catch rate × 100 / Ball, where the value of Ball is 255 for the Poké Ball, 200 for the Great Ball, or 150 for other balls.
# If ''d'' is greater than or equal to 256, the ball shakes three times before the Pokémon breaks free.
# If not, calculate ''x'' = ''d'' × ''f'' / 255 + ''s'', where ''s'' is 10 if the Pokémon is asleep or frozen or 5 if it is paralyzed, poisoned, or burned.
# If...
#* ''x'' < 10: the Ball misses the Pokémon completely.
#* ''x'' < 30: the Ball shakes once before the Pokémon breaks free.
#* ''x'' < 70: the Ball shakes twice before the Pokémon breaks free.
#* Otherwise, the Ball shakes three times before the Pokémon breaks free.

This algorithm thus has several curious properties that do not apply in later generations:
* The amount of times a Poké Ball shakes before it breaks free (or not at all if it misses the Pokémon) is a rough approximation of the Pokémon's catch odds.
* If a Pokémon will break free, a given combination of ball plus status condition plus HP will always result in the same number of shakes. This means that, if a given number of shakes is observed before the Pokémon breaks free for a given combination of these values, if the ball is ever observed to shake more times with the same combination of values, the Pokémon will be caught.
* Under certain situations, a Great Ball is more effective than an Ultra Ball. In particular, Pokémon with high catch rates, no status, and above ½ HP may guarantee capture with a Great Ball but fail to do so with an Ultra Ball.
* The effect of reducing HP diminishes with lower catch rates, and the effect of inflicting status diminishes with higher catch rates. Regardless of catch rate, reducing the HP does not increase chances of capture at less than ½ HP with Great Balls, and ⅓ HP with other balls.
* Inflicting a status ailment gives the player a flat additional chance (from 4.6% to 16.6%) to catch the Pokémon regardless of all other factors, making certain Pokémon easier to catch in Generation I than they are in later generations: A sleeping {{p|Mewtwo}} with full HP may, on average, be caught in about six Ultra Balls in Generation I, but from Generation II onwards exactly the same circumstances would require an average of about 64 Ultra Balls— over ten times as many.
* Due to the nature of the algorithm, Ultra Balls will only perform better than Great Balls on Pokémon whose capture rates are above 55 and below 200 in Generation I. Ultra Balls increase the overall chance of capture by as much as 20% in comparison to Great Balls for Pokémon near the center of that range.
* Assuming the current HP of target Pokémon is less than or equal to ½ HP for Great Balls and ⅓ HP for Ultra Balls, Ultra Balls increase the overall chance to capture by 10% or more in comparison to Great Balls for the following Pokémon:
:- ''Metapod, Kakuna, Pidgeotto, Raticate, Fearow, Arbok, Sandslash, Nidorina, Nidorino, Clefairy, Jigglypuff, Golbat, Gloom, Persian, Poliwhirl, Kadabra, Machoke, Weepinbell, Graveler, Haunter, Exeggcute, and Rhyhorn.''

===Approximate probability===
By working through the above capture algorithm an exact probability for catching a Pokémon in many situations can be found. When using a Poké Ball, it's exact for Pokémon with a catch rate of at most 230, for a Great Ball, it's exact for Pokémon with a catch rate of at most 175, while for Ultra and Safari Balls, it is exact for Pokémon with a catch rate of at most 125. It will give results which are too high if the catch rates are more than this; however it remains a useful approximation as has been verified by using a simulation of the capture algorithm.
Probability of Capture = p0 + p1
where
p0 = statusAilment / (ballMod+1)
* ''statusAilment'' = 12 if poisoned, burned, or paralyzed, 25 if frozen or asleep, 0 otherwise.
* ''ballMod'' = 255 if using a Poké Ball, 200 if using a Great Ball, and 150 otherwise.
and
p1 = ( (catchRate+1)/(ballMod+1) ) * ( (f+1)/256 )
* ''f'' is defined in the above section for the capture method.
* ''catchRate'' (given as an integer value) is stated on each individual Pokémon's article.

==General capture method (Generation II onwards)==
The capture algorithms in [[Generation II]] and onwards have three essential components: the modified catch rate, the "shake probability", and the "shake checks". Generation II handles shake checks slightly differently than the later generations.

===Modified catch rate===
The modified catch rate, ''a'', is the catch rate after various factors such as weakening the Pokémon and using stronger Poké Balls are taken into consideration. A modified catch rate may never fall to 0 (that is, render a Pokémon impossible to capture), but it may cause the modified rate to fall below its original unmodified catch rate (such as from high health, Heavy Balls, Baiting in the [[Safari Zone]], or the dark grass penalty in [[Generation V]]). In [[Generation III]] and [[Generation IV]], the modified catch rate may never fall below 1.

===Shake probability===
The shake probability, ''b'', is a value that determines the probability that a single shake check passes.

===Shake checks===
Shake checks are performed to determine whether the Pokémon will be caught or, if the Pokémon breaks free, the number of shakes that will occur before it does so.

In Generation II, whether a Pokémon will be caught is determined before any shake checks are performed, and shake checks are only performed if the Pokémon is not caught.

==Capture method (Generation II)==
===Modified catch rate===
The modified catch rate ''a'' is calculated in [[Generation II]] as follows:

''a'' = max((3 × HPmax - 2 × HPcurrent) × ratemodified / (3 × HPmax), 1) + bonusstatus

with the final value rounded down to the nearest integer, where
* HPmax is the number of hit points the Pokémon has at full health,
* HPcurrent is the number of hit points the Pokémon has at the moment,
* ratemodified is the catch rate of the Pokémon modified by the ball used, but no less than 1 and no more than 255,
* bonusstatus is the modifier for any [[status condition]] the Pokémon has (10 for sleep or freeze, 0 otherwise).
** bonusstatus was intended to equal 5 for paralyze, poison, or burn, but due to a glitch, the game skips this check.

If 3 × HPmax > 255, then both 3 × HPmax and 2 × HPcurrent are halved twice (and rounded down after each division) for use in the formula, as the values used are unsigned 8-bit integers. If the latter product is 0, it is set to 1 instead.

If the Pokémon's HP is 342 or greater, the 3 × HPmax value will be truncated and the subtraction may underflow, giving bizarre results and even making it possible for the game to freeze; however, no such Pokémon can be legitimately encountered in-game.

''a'' is capped at 255.

===Shake probability===
The shake probability ''b'' is determined from the table below, depending on the value of ''a''.
{| border=1 style="text-align:center"
! ''a''
| 0-1 || 2 || 3 || 4 || 5 || 6-7 || 8-10 || 11-15 || 16-20 || 21-30 || 31-40 || 41-50 || 51-60 || 61-80 || 81-100 || 101-120 || 121-140 || 141-160 || 161-180 || 181-200 || 201-220 || 221-240 || 241-254 || 255

|}

===Shake checks===
First, a check is performed to determine whether the Pokémon is caught at all. A random number between 0 and 255 is generated, and if this number is less than or equal to ''a'', the Pokémon is caught.

Shake checks are only performed if the Pokémon is not caught. A single shake check consists of generating a random number between 0 and 255 and comparing it to ''b''. This is done at most three times, but if the number generated in a given shake check is greater than or equal to ''b'', no further shake checks will be performed. The number of times the ball shakes is the same as the number of shake checks that were performed. The table is essentially a very low-precision lookup table with numbers corresponding to the shake rate in later generations, so ultimately, aside from rounding errors (very bad ones in this case), the shake and capture rate remain similar between Generation II and the formula later used in Generation III.

==Capture method (Generation III-IV)==
===Modified catch rate===
The modified catch rate, ''a'', is calculated in [[Generation III]] and [[Generation IV]] as follows:

:[[File:Catch formula 1.png]]
Where
* HPmax is the number of hit points the Pokémon has at full health,
* HPcurrent is the number of hit points the Pokémon has at the moment,
* rate is the [[List of Pokémon by catch rate|catch rate of the Pokémon]] (which may be modified due to use of [[apricorn]] balls or actions in the [[Safari Zone]]),
* bonusball is the multiplier for the Poké Ball used, and
* bonusstatus is the multiplier for any [[status condition]] the Pokémon has (2 for sleep and freeze, 1.5 for paralyze, poison, or burn, and 1 otherwise). Due to a bug in Ruby & Sapphire, if the target Pokémon is afflicted with Toxic Poison, no catch bonus is applied. This was fixed in FireRed and LeafGreen.

If a Pokémon could have 0 HP, the maximum value for ''a'' would be rate × bonusball × bonusstatus. For a Pokémon with full health and no status condition, and with a neutral ball used, the minimum value for ''a'' would be rate / 3.

The formula is slightly different when applied to the [[Apricorn]] balls in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. The modifiers for these balls are applied directly to the Pokémon's catch rate, rather than in the formula. In this case, bonusball is always 1, and the catch rate cannot go higher than 255. This means that for Pokémon whose catch rate is already 255, such as {{p|Rattata}}, the Apricorn balls do not make the capture any more likely than a regular Poké Ball.

===Shake probability===
The shake probability is calculated as follows:

''b'' = 1048560 / sqrt(sqrt(16711680/''a''))

The divisions and square roots all round down to the nearest integer.

===Shake checks===
To perform a shake check, a random number between 0 and 65535 (inclusive) is generated and compared to ''b''. If the number is greater than or equal to ''b'', the check "fails".

Four shake checks are performed. The Pokémon is caught if all four shake checks succeed. Otherwise, the Poké Ball will shake as many times as there were successful shake checks before the Pokémon breaks free.

In [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], the Pokémon breaks free after shaking once if the first or second check fails. Otherwise, the Poké Ball will shake as many times as there were successful shake checks before the Pokémon breaks free. A different message will appear depending on if the first or second check fails, despite the Poké Ball always shaking at least once.

If ''a'' is 255 or greater, the capture will always succeed and no shake checks will be performed.

===Probability of capture===
The probability ''p'' of catching a Pokémon—given the values ''a'' and ''b'' calculated above for each shake, then requiring all 4 shakes be passed—approximates (''b''/65535)^4, or simply ''a''/255. However, due to rounding errors produced when calculating ''b'', this approximation can be significantly inaccurate: all ''a'' values greater than 200, for instance, yield the same ''b'' value, 65535 (which results in a 99.994% chance of a successful capture).

For a constant probability ''p'', the probability ''P'' that a player can capture the Pokémon with no more than ''r'' tries is:
: [[File:Catch formula 4.png]]
Note that this is the cumulative probability function for a {{wp|geometric distribution}}. The {{wp|expected value}} of ''r'' is 1/''p'', that is to say, on average, a Pokémon that can be caught with probability ''p'' will be caught with 1/''p'' tries.

The inverse problem, the number of tries, ''r'', needed to have a probability ''P'' of capturing a Pokémon is:
:[[File:Catch formula 5.png]]

==Capture method (Generation V)==
===Modified catch rate===
[[Generation V]] follows the formula in Generation III-IV, with all divisions above rounded down to the nearest multiple of 1/4096. However, there are three alterations:
* bonusstatus is now 2.5 for sleep and freeze (instead of 2).
* '''{{DL|Entralink|Pass Powers|Capture Power}} factor''': if a Capture Power is active, the catch rate is multiplied by a factor and rounded down to the nearest multiple of 1/4096.
** Capture Power ↑: ×1.1
** Capture Power ↑↑: ×1.2
** Capture Power ↑↑↑, S, or MAX: ×1.3
* '''{{DL|Tall grass|Dark grass}} factor''': This factor is multiplied into the HP factor (3 × HPmax - 2 × HPcurrent above) and then rounded to the nearest multiple of 1/4096. This factor is applied if the battle occurs in dark grass, and depends on the number of Pokémon that have been caught in the [[Pokédex]], as shown in the table below, usually making it harder to catch a Pokémon. This even occurs when only one Pokémon is met in the dark grass.
{| class="roundy" style="margin-left:40px; margin-bottom:10px; text-align:center; background:#{{Poké Balls color}}; border:3px solid #{{Poké Balls color dark}}"

| 30-150 || 2048/4096 (50%)
|- style="background:#fff"
| < 30 || 1229/4096 (30%)
|}
If the modified catch rate is greater than 255, the Pokémon is guaranteed to be caught (but a critical capture check will be performed anyway).

===Shake probability===
The formula for ''b'' is

''b'' = 65536 / sqrt(sqrt(255/''a''))

where the divisions and square roots are rounded to the nearest 1/4096, and the final value is rounded down to the nearest whole number.

===Shake checks===
Generation V's shake checks work essentially the same as those of Generations III and IV.

Before any shake checks are performed, the game checks to see if a critical capture may happen. If not, three shake checks will be performed, otherwise, only one shake check will be performed.

In a normal capture, the Pokémon breaks free without shaking if the first check fails or after one shake if the second check fails. If the third check fails, the Pokémon breaks free after '''three''' shakes (not two).

In a critical capture, the ball will always shake once, and the Pokémon will break free or be caught depending on the result of the shake check.

==Capture method (Generation VI)==
In [[Generation VI]] games, on the first [[route]] where a player can catch [[wild Pokémon]] ([[Kalos Route 2]] in {{g|X and Y}} or [[Hoenn Route 101]] in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}), wild Pokémon will never break out of a Poké Ball thrown at them.

===Modified catch rate===
The modified catch rate is essentially identical in all respects to [[Generation V]], except that Capture O-Powers give a 1.5×, 2× or 2.5× boost rather than 1.1×, 1.2× and 1.3×.

===Shake probability===
Unlike Generation V, the shake probability in Generation VI is calculated as follows:

''b'' = 65536 / (255/''a'')^0.1875

===Shake checks===
The Generation VI games perform four shake checks again, like Generations III-IV. Critical captures function like in Generation V, with only one shake check being performed for a critical capture.

The change to the formula for the shake probability is designed to counteract the change in the number of shake checks: the odds of success for a normal capture are the same in Generation VI as in Generation V, barring small rounding errors. Since each shake check is more likely to succeed, however, critical captures are more effective than before.

==Critical capture==
{{incomplete|section|Pokémon GO and Catching Charm chances}}
Since [[Generation V]], when a Poké Ball is thrown, a special type of capture that is much more likely to catch a Pokémon, called a '''critical capture''' (Japanese: '''捕獲クリティカル''' ''critical capture''), may occur. When a critical capture occurs, the Poké Ball will make a high-pitched whistling sound as it is thrown, then pause in mid-air, and shudder before it drops down to the ground, shaking only once on the ground before the Pokémon escapes or is caught.

The probability of a critical capture occurring depends of the number of Pokémon that have been caught in the Pokédex. First, compute the value of ''a'' (the modified catch rate) as shown in the appropriate section above. Then, multiply ''a'' by the appropriate multiplier from the table below.
{| class="roundy" style="text-align:center; background:#{{Poké Balls color}}; border:3px solid #{{Poké Balls color dark}}"
|-
! Species Caught !! Multiplier
|- style="background:#fff"
| >600 || 2.5
|- style="background:#fff"
| 451-600 || 2
|- style="background:#fff"
| 301-450 || 1.5
|- style="background:#fff"
| 151-300 || 1
|- style="background:#fff"
| 31-150 || 0.5
|- style="background:#fff"
| ≤30 || 0
|}
Finally, divide the result by 6 and round down to the nearest integer. Call this final result ''c''. A random number between 0 and 255 is generated; if it is less than ''c'', a critical capture will occur. Overall, this means the critical capture chance ranges from 0 (if 30 or fewer species have been caught) to about 41.67% of the modified capture rate ''a'' (if over 600 species have been caught).

Critical captures only make one shake check instead of three or four, which means they are considerably more likely to successfully capture the Pokémon. In Generation V, the success chance for a critical capture is the cube root of the success chance for a regular capture; thus, for example, if the regular success chance is 5%, the chance of success with a critical capture will be about 37%, while if the regular success chance is 50%, the chance of success with a critical capture will be just over 79%. In Generation VI, meanwhile, the success chance for a critical capture is instead the fourth root of the success chance for a regular capture: if the regular success chance is 5%, the critical success chance will be around 47%, while if the regular success chance is 50%, the critical success chance will be around 84%. Given the rarity of critical captures, however, the Pokémon is always more likely overall to be caught with a regular capture than a critical one.

==Examples==
Most legendary Pokémon have a catch rate of 3. Assuming its HP is almost depleted and it is paralyzed, and Dusk Ball is used at night or in a cave, then the chance of catching the Pokémon with each Ball in [[Generation IV]] is approximated by 3 * 3.5 * 1.5 / 255 = 15.75/255 ~ 6.2%, resulting in about 16 Dusk Balls required to catch the Pokémon on average.

If an Ultra Ball were used instead, then the chance drops to 3 * 2 * 1.5 / 255 = 9/255 ~ 3.5%, which amounts to about 28 Ultra Balls on average.

Alternatively, if a Timer Ball were used after the tenth turn in Generation V or after the thirtieth turn prior to Generation V, the chance of capture is 3 * 4 * 1.5 / 255 = 18/255 ~ 7.1%, or about 14 or 15 Timer Balls required on average.

==Other uses==
===Generation I===
{{main|List of Pokémon by wild held item (Generation II)}}
In the [[Generation I]] games, when a Pokémon is caught, its catch rate is saved in its [[Pokémon data structure in Generation I|data structure]], and remains unchanged even upon evolution. If a Pokémon caught in a Generation I game is [[trade]]d to a Generation II game, this value becomes the Pokémon's held item.

In {{game|Yellow}} and {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, this value is specifically set for particular Pokémon to ensure that the Pokémon will hold a specific item when traded to a Generation II game.

==Trivia==
* If used outside of the Entree Forest prior to [[Generation VIII]] (which was not possible in regular gameplay), the [[Dream Ball]] has a catch rate of 1×.
* The line if a Pokémon escapes at three shakes in [[Generation III]] and {{gen|IV}}, "Shoot! It was so close, too!", remains in the internal data of the [[Generation V]] games despite not being used.
* In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, a Heavy Ball will always fail to catch a Pokémon whose weight is less than {{tt|220.46 lbs|100.0 kg}} and whose catch rate is less than or equal to 20. This is because the game will set the catch rate to 0 when the catch rate becomes negative due to the -20 modifier that is applied. The only catchable Pokémon that this affects are {{p|Beldum}} and the [[guardian deities]]. This error was corrected in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}.
* The numbers 255, 4096, and 65536 result from the data types used. 255 is the highest number a byte can encode. 4096 is the amount of space a 12-bit integer can encode. 65536 is the amount of space two bytes can encode.

Nitpicker red: /* Relation with Audino */

==Relation with Audino==

Indeedee and {{p|Audino }} share a similar design, but instead of being a Galarian form, the name of the Pokémon is different.
The names though are based on the same formatting, being a pun about agreement.

Audino → "I dunno" (Jap. name Tabunne → たぶんね- → "I guess so"), Indeedee → "Indeed" (Jap. name Yessan → イエすさん → "Yes-man").

My contribution highlighting this was removed, probably because:
* I put it in "Name origin" but it should have been in "Trivia".
* I was too vague in what I was comparing. It should be clearer that it only applies to Audino's design and name.
* (tag {{u|ArcToraphim}}) argued that it wasn't worth highlighting as other Pokémon have similar name based on an agreement pun. Like {{p|Wobbuffet}} そうなんす → "That's right".

But I think the link with Audino is still remarkable because of the design similarity. Thoughts on how to approach this? Is this some sort of pseudo-galarian form? [[User:Nitpicker red|Nitpicker red]] ([[User talk:Nitpicker red|talk]]) 23:07, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

:That's really a very obvious connection.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket Grunt]] ([[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Report To Me]])''' 23:26, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

::Not so obvious it seems, I worded it as "''It seems to have some link to {{p|Indeedee}}, in term of design as well as naming scheme (pun about agreement).''" and it was still removed from {{p|Audino}}'s page for being baseless speculation. I'm really not sure how to approach it. [[User:Nitpicker red|Nitpicker red]] ([[User talk:Nitpicker red|talk]]) 12:33, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

There is also the Audino→Nurse, Indeedee→Butler/Maid service work connection. It seems like it was an early galarian form that was given a different name later on. As we know Galarian forms don't always share the name of the original, with Persian/Purrserker. [[User:Nitpicker red|Nitpicker red]] ([[User talk:Nitpicker red|talk]]) 11:24, 9 January 2020 (UTC)

== Gender ratio? ==

Does anyone get an impression that Indeedee's gender ratio in the wild may be version-exclusive (or am I just getting bad RNG)?
* (research) I am currently farming Indeedee in [[Pokemon Sword]] and seem to be ''only'' encountering males (six and counting). My Pokedex does not list Indeedee's female form at all, confirming I have never seen one (forms for caught Pokemon are registered on sight, not capture; and I have acquired them from the wild, at least one [[Max Raid Battle]] ''and'' through Surprise Trade).
* (speculation) Sword's Pokedex entry specifically mentions males while Shield's entry specifically mentions females; the opposite-gender entries in each game are much more generic. If this is just coincidence it is a peculiar one.
* NPC Trainer Madame Judy in [[Glimwood Tangle]] was incorrectly listed as having an Indeedee of each gender; it's actually two males in both [https://youtu.be/_L4eObXLHrQ?t=1460 Sword] and [https://youtu.be/ScTR_sxYgqs?t=1132 Shield].

'''Wooloo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ウールー''' ''Wooluu'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Dubwool}} starting at [[level]] 24.

==Biology==
{{cleanup|section|width=50%}}
Wooloo is a sheep-like Pokémon with a thick coat of white wool that makes it look spherical. Its small, black, head pokes out of the front of the wool, along with two short, point, horns. It's eyes have yellow sclerae, black irises, and white, horizontal, pupils. Two large lop ears are visible behind grey strings of wool that resemble hair plaits. Its hoofed legs are short and mostly hidden by the wool, along a with a tail that is barely visible on its rear end.

Wooloo have an extremely fluffy body which can serve as a cushion can help it survive even when falling off a cliff, and stand up without injures. The fur grows back quickly in three months even when shaved. The fur is it is very popular in [[Galar]], being used for clothing ,carpets, vert strong cloth, and specialty product. If the fur grows too long, it will be unable to move. Wooloo lives as hard mimicking the leader or trainer. They can escape from enemies by simply rolling away due to disliking conflict<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/wooloo/</ref>. {{p|Yamper}} is used to herd the Wooloo. {{p|Beheeyem}} serves as natural predators to Wooloo as the latter disappears when Beehyem shows up for at a farm.

'''Audino''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''タブンネ''' ''Tabunne'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, it can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Audino''' using the [[Audinite]].

==Biology==
Audino is a bipedal, pink-and-cream Pokémon with oval, blue eyes. The top of its head, its back, and arms are pink, while the lower half of its face, body, ears are cream-colored, as well as its front and fingers. The patterning of pink and cream on its chest resembles a jacket. There are three digits on its hands and two on its feet. It has a puffy, white tuft for a tail. Audino has floppy ears with thin, curled extensions on the underside. It can use these ears as radars, and it has an incredible hearing ability. The feelers on its ears act like {{wp|stethoscopes}} in that it can feel the beat of another Pokémon's heart, to assess the Pokémon's feelings and overall physical condition. The feelers are also able to determine when an Egg is close to hatching.

When Audino Mega Evolves into Mega Audino, it becomes both heavier and taller. The patterning on its stomach, now completely cream, is covered by what resembles a flared lab coat. Most of its body becomes white with pink tips in four places, one on each ear and near the edges of its "coat". Its eyes turn pink and its ears stand upright with longer, curlier feelers. Its tail becomes larger and a smaller tuft of fur is centered on its chest. Two additional, curled feelers extend from under this extra tuft of fur. White fur covers its feet with two small tufts on the heels. Mega Audino can release pulses that reduce hostility, and the secondary feelers can put those who come in contact with them into a deep sleep.<ref>http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/new-mega-evolutions/mega-audino</ref>

Audino is also the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Secret Power}} naturally by [[Level|leveling]] up.

==Trivia==
* Audino is available in all patches of {{DL|Phenomenon|rustling grass}} in {{game|Black and White|s}}.
* Because of its availability and its high [[List of Pokémon by effort value yield|Exp. yield]], battling wild Audino in {{DL|Phenomenon|Rustling grass|rustling grass}} is a fast way for Pokémon to gain [[experience]] in the [[Generation V]] games, as well as {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.
**As all the Trainers that look like a {{Tc|Furisode Girl}} in the [[Battle Chateau]] use only Audino, they can be used to perform this trick with greater effectiveness in {{g|X and Y}}.
* Audino is the only Pokémon introduced in [[Generation V]] that is capable of [[Mega Evolution]].
* Audino is the [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|only Pokémon]] with a base stat total of 445.
** Audino is also the only Pokémon to lose this distinction upon Mega Evolution.
* Mega Audino has the highest base {{stat|Defense}} stat of all {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.
* Audino is the only Pokémon with two unique [[List of Pokémon by effort value yield|base experience yields]].
* Audino, along with its Mega Evolution, were designed by [[Megumi Mizutani]].
* Audino was designed with the anime in mind, to replace Nurse Joy's Chansey in the Unova region.
* It seems to have some link to {{p|Indeedee}}, in term of design as well as naming scheme (pun about agreement).

===Origin===
Audino seems to be partially based on {{wp|rabbit}}s, with features similar to that of a {{wp|physician}} or {{wp|nurse}}. The {{wp|stethoscope}}-like feelers on its ears also bring to mind a {{wp|cochlea}}, a part of the inner ear involved in hearing, or a {{wp|butterfly}}'s antennae, or {{wp|proboscis}}. The ears themselves resemble butterfly wings, especially in its [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] form, which may mean it was based on some depiction of a {{wp|fairy}}. Mega Audino could take some influence from {{wp|angel}}s, as well as {{wp|doctor}}s. Mega Audino may also have a resemblance to the {{wp|Lolita fashion|Sweet Lolita}} fashion style, having flowing, white and pink "coat", "boots", and ears.
Audino was designed by [[Ken Sugimori]] to be a new Pokémon for [[Nurse Joy]] to have in the [[S14|anime]], specifically in [[Unova]] and another cute Pokémon.<ref>https://comicbook.com/anime/2019/09/14/pokemon-executive-reveals-creature-made-for-nurse-joy-anime/?fbclid=IwAR3mkJWD3yuTiJ4Qbnp1VbyRil7b91ByVTs-xsP_ci45q0LYuDMkSroEdjU</ref>

====Name origin====
Audino may be derived from ''audio'' and a pun on the phrase "I dunno." It may also refer to the suffix ''ino'' (which denotes ''youth'') or involve ''din'' (loud noise, referring to the fact that it has stethoscopes for ears) or ''lapin'' (a term for "rabbit").

Tabunne may be derived from 多分ね ''tabun ne'' ("maybe") or 多聞 tabun ("many are heard"). It may also derive from 耳たぶ ''mimitabu'' (earlobe).

==Trivia==
* Indeedee shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Kirlia}} and {{p|Mesprit}}. They are all known as the Emotion Pokémon.

===Origin===
Indeedee may be based on imps. Their gender-specific motifs may also be based on [[Wikipedia:Housekeeper (domestic worker)|Housekeeper]]s, with its male form having traits of a butler while its female form has traits of a maid.

====Name origin====
Indeedee may be derived from ''indeed''.

Iessan may be a combination of ''yessir'' and ～さん ''-san'' (honorific title).

Indeedee shares the same pun naming convention as {{p|Audino }} in Japanese, as '''タブンネ''' ''Tabunne'' can be understood as "''probably''".

==Chinese Name Origin==

毛辮羊 -> 毛 "hair" 辮 "braid" 羊 "sheep" (simplified Chinese)--[[User:Buddy002|Buddy002]] ([[User talk:Buddy002|talk]]) 21:10, 5 June 2019 (UTC)

==Name origin==

Wool + moo? [[User:ReignBough|ReignBough]] ([[User talk:ReignBough|talk]]) 03:19, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
:No, more like the Japanese romanization of wool, but stylized. (Wulu (wool in romaji) -> Wooloo (to include wool)) It is basically when you translate something into another language on Google Translate and then translate the output into the original language again, but cuter.--[[User:Buddy002|Buddy002]] ([[User talk:Buddy002|talk]]) 04:00, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
::Actually, Wooloo's name might be wool + loom! Based on its name in different language, it would make sense. This could also be the case for the Japanese name as well.--[[User:Buddy002|Buddy002]] ([[User talk:Buddy002|talk]]) 02:56, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

== Wooloo is based on a Scottish Blackface Sheep ==

The Scottish Blackface is a breed of sheep that is very common on uk farms, with thick white wool and sometimes solid black face. They are also notable for having long, curled horns. Given that Galar is based in the uk, and wooloo has what looks like horns coming in, I'm confident that this specific breed was the inspiration. --[[User:Goldhusky|Goldhusky]] ([[User talk:Goldhusky|talk]]) 15:02, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
:That specific breed is not the only breed to have a black face. There are a lot of sheep with black faces. Wooloo has stubby horns, which could be any shape when grown in and we certainly shouldn't make assumptions. Finally, we shouldn't necessarily base our guesses on the region's origin; there are koalas in Alola, for example. While the region's origin is sometimes helpful, it should not be a large factor. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 15:50, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
::Hi, newbie here but I wanted to put in my two cents. I thought that Wooloo might be based on a Valais Blacknose sheep[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/c2/13/78/c2137815b374cc2a530d5b005b06afd4.jpg]. Like Wooloo, they have black faces, black legs, short horns (at least on the ewes) and when their coats are fully grown, have a very round appearance. [[User:LadyBrightcynder|LadyBrightcynder]] ([[User talk:LadyBrightcynder|talk]]) 17:33, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
:::True, could be any number of sheep breeds, I'm probably biased because i love scottish blackies so much. Valais didn't come to mind for me because they weren't very a very well known breed until recently, but then again, we've seen Pyukumuku based on a sea slug that was unseen until it became popular in Japan. I suppose we won't know for certain 'till any evolution(s) come out. (C'mon curly horns!)--[[User:Goldhusky|Goldhusky]] ([[User talk:Goldhusky|talk]]) 18:34, 6 June 2019 (UTC)

== French name origin correction ==

The page currently mentions "From moumoute, mou, and mouton"
However, I don't think "mou" was part of the pun here, and so should be removed.
"mou" is "soft" for solid objects, as in modeling clay is soft, room-temperature butter is soft (malleable, tender), and is not used in french for the smooth sensation (which is described by "doux"). --[[User:Nitpicker red|Nitpicker red]] ([[User talk:Nitpicker red|talk]]) 17:02, 7 June 2019 (UTC)
