'''{{tt|Quilava Quandary|VIZ Media}}''' or '''{{tt|VS. Quilava|Chuang Yi}}''' (Japanese: '''VSマグマラシ''' ''VS. {{tt|Magmarashi|Quilava}}'') is the 108th round of the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}} in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The old woman puts the bars in, trapping Gold, who finds angry Pokémon inside the room. Gold notices that all the Pokémon are elite fighters. A second into the battle, he is being chased by a {{p|Tauros}}. Dodging more attacks, he has [[Exbo]] use {{m|SmokeScreen}}, and [[Togebo]], his newly nicknamed {{p|Togepi}}, use {{m|Metronome}}. Metronome becomes {{m|Leer}}. The Leer hits an {{p|Ekans}}. Exbo then uses {{m|Ember}} on a {{p|Donphan}}, who deflects it.

Following the instructions of the old lady, Gold tells [[Polibo]] to use {{m|Water Gun}}. The attack hits Donphan and sends it flying.

In {{ci|Ecruteak}} City, {{DL|Jasmine|In the Pokémon Adventures manga|Jasmine}} walks toward the {{g|Day Care}}. However, an earthquake hits and the ground underneath Jasmine's feet breaks, and she falls.

Meanwhile, in the Day Care, a {{p|Primeape}} uses {{m|Cross Chop}} on {{DL|Gold (Adventures)|Pokémon|Sudobo}}. Sudobo counters with {{m|Mimic}}. Noticing that Sudobo is taking more damage than Primeape, he has {{DL|Gold (Adventures)|Pokémon|Sunbo}} use {{m|Sunny Day}}. Then Exbo uses its powered-up Ember. Then Exbo evolves into a {{p|Quilava}}.

The old man hears a message on the radio: Ecruteak City has been hit by a major earthquake. The Day-Care Couple starts to worry for Jasmine. But then the old woman realizes that ''someone'' can help...

In Ecruteak City, standing on boulders, Gold recalls the old woman telling him that he's mastered the training and giving him a [[King's Rock]]. They also asked him to look for Jasmine.

Meanwhile {{adv|Silver}} is {{m|Fly}}ing via his {{DL|Silver (Adventures)|Murkrow → Honchkrow|Murkrow}} over the ruins of Ecruteak City.

'''Red''' (Japanese: '''レッド''' ''Red'') is a main character in the manga series [[Pokémon Adventures]]. His first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} was a [[Poli]]wag, which [[evolution|evolved]] into a {{p|Poliwhirl}} when saving him from drowning prior to the beginning of the story, and evolved once more into a {{p|Poliwrath}} in ''[[PS011|Buzz off, Electabuzz!]]''

Red is eleven years old at the beginning of the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}. He is first seen in ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]'', when he shows a group of children the proper way to catch a Pokémon. He demonstrates by using his Poliwhirl to {{pkmn|battle}} a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{DL|Red (Adventures)|Nidorino}}. Red is very sentimental, as shown in the battle versus {{adv|Blue}} in the ninth annual [[Pokémon League]] tournament. He believes that defeating an opponent is no fun if they are at a disadvantage, as seen in both ''[[PS003|The Secret of Kangaskhan]]'' and ''[[PS023|Make Way for Magmar!]]''. At the beginning of the series, he is quite cocky, as shown in ''[[PS008|Suddenly Starmie]]''. However, this cockiness has subsided by the end of the RGB saga.

Red's special skill, as described by {{adv|Professor Oak}}, is Pokémon battling. As such, he is called the '''"[[Pokémon battle|Fighter]]"''' (戦う者 ''Fighter'').

In later adventures, Red has been viewed as a leader amongst the [[Pokédex holder]]s, second only to {{adv|Professor Oak}}.

==Character history==
==={{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}===
[[File:Red RGB chapter Adventures.png|left|thumb|100px|Red before facing Blue in the 9th annual Indigo Plateau Pokémon League]]
In this saga, Red is the main protagonist, and his main rival is {{adv|Blue}}. Red was first seen showing off his catching abilities to a group of little kids, but once they mentioned {{adv|Professor Oak}} and {{adv|Blue|his grandson}}, they left. He then sees a few [[Team Rocket]] Grunts and overhears them talking about {{p|Mew}}. He manages to find it, only to see that Blue, who he didn't know yet, was already battling it with a {{TP|Blue|Charmander}}. Seeing Blue quickly recalling his Pokémon angers Red to a point where he sends out his own [[Poli]]whirl on it and is easily defeated. He then receives some words of wisdom from Blue and decides to suck up his pride and go to see {{adv|Professor Oak}}.

Red enters the seemingly empty lab and notices a {{p|Bulbasaur}}, only to be found by Professor Oak and mistaken for a thief. All of the Professor's [[Poké Ball]]s are then set loose, and Red volunteers to get all of them back. He does so, except for one last Pokémon - the same {{p|Bulbasaur}} from earlier, which he eventually finds in the [[Viridian Gym]]. He manages to calm Bulbasaur down only to be attacked by a wild {{p|Machoke}}. Red then figures out how to use {{m|Solar Beam}} on his own, impressing Oak to the point of giving him a [[Pokédex]] and [[Saur|Bulbasaur]] to keep. He is then sent along by Professor Oak to capture as many Pokémon as he can, and encounters Blue again in [[Viridian Forest]]. The two boys fight over a {{p|Kangaskhan}}, and Red finally learns Blue's name and status as Oak's grandson, beginning a [[rival]]ry with him.

Red later manages to catch a menacing [[Pika]]chu that was destroying industry in [[Pewter City]]. He then runs into {{adv|Blue}} again, learns of the {{Badge|Boulder}} and decides to challenge [[Brock]] and earn Gym Badges. After blowing through the preliminaries with [[Saur]] and [[Poli]] Red realizes that he needs his newly caught Pikachu to beat [[Brock's Onix]]. After a rocky first part of the match, Red earns Pikachu's trust and he defeats Brock. He later encounters [[Misty]] and [[Gyara|her Gyarados]] which had been stolen and went into an intense rage, horribly injuring Misty and her {{p|Staryu}} in the process. After re-capturing the {{p|Gyarados}} for Misty, Red learns about [[Team Rocket]] through Misty and Oak, and sets off to [[Mt. Moon]] after them with Misty. They win a battle against Team Rocket even after the admin [[Koga]] uses an injection to make his {{p|Rhyhorn}} evolve into a {{p|Rhydon}}. While staying in [[Misty]]'s mansion, Misty defeats Red to make him see that they need to be stronger if they want to defeat Team Rocket. After several days of training, he defeats her and wins the {{Badge|Cascade}}.

After stowing away and getting kicked off the [[S.S. Anne]], Red meets the [[Pokémon Fan Club Chairman]], learning from him that his {{p|Abra}}, along with other Pokémon, are being stolen. This leads him back to the S.S. Anne, where he runs into the owner, [[Lt. Surge]]. Lt. Surge, another one of [[Team Rocket]]'s admins, throws Red and [[Poli]] overboard, only to trigger Poli's evolution into a {{p|Poliwrath}}, saving Red from drowning.

Later, Red enters a bike racing contest and uses his Pokémon to give him a good lead, until he and several of the racers are stopped dead by a {{p|Snorlax}}. By using his Bulbasaur covered in honey he catches the Snorlax and wins the race, however all of his prize money is spent to feed it. He then journeys into the Pokémon Tower in [[Lavender Town]] to rescue {{adv|Blue}} who has mysteriously disappeared. He finds Blue possessed by a {{p|Gastly}} owned by [[Koga]]. Red then watches Blue defeat and slice Koga's {{p|Arbok}} in half, and gains some respect towards Blue.

Later, Red is scammed out of his money for fake items by a mischievous girl called {{adv|Green}}. He chases her down and gets his money back, only to realize that his first two Badges, the {{Badge|Boulder}} and the {{Badge|Cascade}}, are gone. He then deduces that the stolen {{p|Squirtle}} mentioned by Professor Oak must have been taken by Green and evolved into {{p|Wartortle}}. Upon hearing some [[Team Rocket]] grunts mentioning her, Red infiltrates [[Team Rocket]] to see what they know about Green, and finds her surrounded by a group of Team Rocket members looking for a mysterious chip she stole, containing information about {{p|Mew}}. Even after everything {{adv|Green}} did to him, Red saves her from Team Rocket. After that, the two of them go after Mew only to find that Team Rocket made it to it again, and Red has to stall them in order for Mew to get away. After this altercation, Green leaves, but not before leaving Red's Badges entrusted in his pocket.

[[File:Red Adventures Running.png|thumb|290px|Red with his team from the first volume's cover]]
Red then accidentally gets his Pokémon swapped with {{adv|Blue}} near [[Celadon City]]. When he tries to battle with them they refuse to obey him, but later he decides to play with them while Blue trains Red's Pokémon with more exotic and useful moves. Blue's Pokémon become more kind to Red and more lighthearted overall, something that greatly annoys Blue when he gets his Pokémon back.

Red then goes to [[Erika]] and challenges her, but she first requires that he proves himself by catching an {{p|Eevee}}. Eventually, with {{adv|Bill}}'s help, Red finds and catches [[Vee|a strange Eevee]] with the ability to swap between any of its evolved forms, due to a special device implemented in its ear. He then goes to find Erika and asks why Eevee is like this, and challenges her to a Gym battle. Erika easily defeats Red, and says that she will kill Eevee due to its deformity. Once Red uses [[Pika]] to protect Eevee, Erika reveals that it was simply a test and the real people that made Eevee like this were [[Team Rocket]].

Red next visits the {{safari|Kanto}} in [[Fuchsia City]], and although he isn't supposed to do anything except watch, he smuggles in a [[Poké Ball]] and catches a {{p|Nidoqueen}}, angering two {{p|Nidoking}} that were fighting over her. He manages to escape them but is then taken by a {{p|Victreebel}} to be eaten for an evolution ritual for the {{p|Bellsprout}} and {{p|Weepinbell}}. He gets away from them only to run into the Nidoking again, resulting in a fight between Nidoking and the Victreebel. Red uses this to catch both Pokémon, and catches many others before he is finally found by the Safari Zone Warden.

He then unknowingly helps Rocket boss {{adv|Giovanni}}, whom he believes is just a researcher, get some [[Fossil]]s and get to [[Pewter City]] through [[Diglett's Cave]], only to see that Pewter Museum of Science is set ablaze by two {{p|Magmar}}. He battles the Magmar with Giovanni studying his moves. Giovanni eventually deduces Red is not a threat to Team Rocket since he lacks in cruelty, unfairness, and brutality. Red is then sent on his way, but not before Giovanni gives him an [[Old Amber]].

Wanting to reach the [[Seafoam Islands]], Red then goes to the bottom of a lake to retrieve the [[HM]] for {{m|Surf}}. He is instead confronted by a {{p|Dragonite}} and decides to use all of his other Pokémon to distract it, only to have their combined weight crush the HM and trap Red's leg under a rock. He is eventually rescued by [[Misty]], who appears and drives the Dragonite off with her {{TP|Misty|Starmie}} and [[Gyara]]dos. Misty then trades Red's {{p|Krabby}} for her Gyarados, who knows {{m|Surf}}. On Seafoam Islands, Red encounters Team Rocket again, who are searching for {{p|Articuno}}.

He then reaches [[Cinnabar Island]], spotting Team Rocket once more and secretly watching them battle [[Blaine]]'s Pokémon from the edge of a cliff. A member spots him and threatens to throw him off the cliff if he doesn't surrender. Blaine appears but with his Gyarados, and the two of them easily overpower the grunts until they reveal their secret weapon, a {{p|Moltres}}. The grunts disperse and Moltres gives chase to the two of them on Blaine's {{p|Rapidash}}. When nothing that they do works, Blaine spots Red's [[Old Amber]] and has him revive it as fast as he can. He gets it revived into an {{p|Aerodactyl}} and with that, he is able to drive Moltres away.

Later, when Red, {{adv|Blue}}, and {{adv|Green}} all fail to get into [[Saffron City]], Red goes to [[Pallet Town]] to ask for {{adv|Professor Oak}}'s advice, only to realize that there is nobody there except for [[Sabrina]] and her {{TP|Sabrina|Kadabra}}, masquerading as Oak. Sabrina, Team Rocket's third admin, then appears to him and pins him to the floor with her psychic powers, challenging him to go back to Saffron City. {{adv|Blue}} then arrives and tells him that Saffron must be [[Team Rocket]]'s headquarters, and they find out that [[Vee]] is missing. Saffron City is protected from invasion by a large {{t|psychic}} barrier, so with some urging from {{adv|Green}}, Red and Blue team up. With [[Pika]]'s {{m|Substitute}} and Blue's {{p|Golduck}}'s {{m|Confusion}}, the two of them locate the source of the {{m|barrier}}, Sabrina's {{p|Mr. Mime}}, and defeat it, allowing access to Saffron City.

After a trap door splits him up from Blue while inside [[Silph Co.]], Red runs into [[Lt. Surge]], who has been equipped with many gadgets involving electricity and {{type|Electric}} Pokémon, powered by {{p|Zapdos}}. Red sends out [[Saur]] in defense and uses {{m|Razor Leaf}} to cut the electrical cords, causing Lt. Surge to get electrocuted. Red swipes the {{Badge|Thunder}} from him as well as a pair of gloves, and finds [[Koga]] standing victorious over {{adv|Blue}}. Red tries to stop Koga from killing Blue, but is restrained by Koga's {{p|Grimer}}. After a hard battle with the legendary {{p|Articuno}}, the same one that Red had saved earlier, the two boys defeat Koga. Red takes the {{Badge|Soul}} from him, and the two split up once again.

He runs into the Badge Energy Amplifier room, where he meets {{adv|Green}}, who hands him the {{Badge|Marsh}} in exchange for his {{evostone|Moon Stone}}. Red fits his seven Badges into the Amplifier and points it at his [[Pika]]chu, when Sabrina appears, and though he points it at Pikachu, the Amplifier does not work. Green then reveals that the two Badges that she returned to him earlier were fake, and escapes with the Amplifier, leaving Red to fight Sabrina. Zapdos, Moltres, and Articuno are merged together when Green inserts the real Badges in, creating [[Thu-Fi-Zer|a new Pokémon]]. Combining their attacks, Red, Blue, and Green eventually defeat it.

Red then journeys back to [[Cerulean City]] to capture the "monster Pokémon", which turns out to be {{adv|Mewtwo}}. After attempting to catch it, Red and his Pokémon are almost sucked into Mewtwo's {{m|Psywave}}. They are saved by [[Blaine]], and Red uses his whole team to fool Mewtwo and catch it with a [[Master Ball]] for Blaine.

[[File:Red Frozen Adventures.png|right|thumb|Red frozen on [[Mt. Moon]]]]
Later, Red encounters {{adv|Yellow}} being attacked by a {{p|Dratini}} in [[Viridian Forest]]. He helps her catch a {{p|Rattata}} and explains how battling and catching Pokémon works. He takes her back to Viridian City and finds that Team Rocket has been releasing abused Pokémon into the Forest to make them stronger. He also learns that the Gym Leader there has been absent for a very long time. Entering the Gym, Red finally meets {{adv|Giovanni}} again, who reveals his true intentions behind the incident at Diglett's Cave. Giovanni then challenges Red with a catch: if Red loses he has to join Team Rocket. After a very intense and long battle, Red defeats Giovanni. He is offered to become the new [[Gym Leader]] of Viridian, but he first wishes to become a better Trainer and goes off to [[Indigo Plateau]].

With the Badges he gained, Red is able to enter the Pokémon League, where he faces {{adv|Blue}} in the final match. Just as Oak notes how Blue has become more instinctual like Red, Red in turn has become more calm and is able to use knowledge as well as instinct. He defeats Blue and his {{TP|Blue|Charizard}} with [[Saur]] and emerges as the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the 9th triennial Pokémon League competition. This makes him interesting to the [[Elite Four]], who are watching the battle from the side.

==={{chap|Yellow}}===
At the beginning of the second chapter, two years after the end of the previous chapter, Red receives an invitation to battle [[Bruno]] of the [[Elite Four]] at [[Mt. Moon]]. During the battle, Bruno stops to let several Diglett and Dugtrio pass and then Agatha uses her mind controlling powers over him to render him incapable of further battle. Red is then confronted by [[Lorelei]] and [[Agatha]], who want him to join them in their quest to wipe out humanity for the sake of Pokémon. They also want information about Giovanni so they can find the {{Badge|Earth}} to power the Badge Energy Amplifier that Agatha retrieved at the [[Silph Co.]] rubble. When he tells the truth, [[Lorelei]] freezes him in a block of ice, making everybody think that he has disappeared since nobody else had seen him for over a month. Only [[Pika]] escapes and makes it to {{adv|Professor Oak}}'s [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|laboratory]], where he teams up with {{adv|Yellow}}.

Red's frozen ice sculpture is found by [[Brock]] in [[Mt. Moon]], but Red is nowhere to be found. Even [[Bruno]], looking for Red so they could finish the battle that they started, can't trace him. As revealed at the end of the chapter, {{adv|Giovanni}} eventually rescued Red, enabling him to seek out his friends and help them fight the [[Elite Four]] on [[Cerise Island]]. Red arrives just in time to save {{adv|Bill}} and [[Lt. Surge]], finally finishing his battle with [[Bruno]].

==={{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}===
[[File:Gold Red Mt Silver.png|left|thumb|Red and Gold heading off to Mt. Silver at the end of the third chapter]]
Red first appears in the Gold, Silver, & Crystal chapters in [[PS108|Quilava Quandray]] when {{adv|Gold}} sees him in a photo at the [[Day Care Center]] showing him as one of the previous winners of the Pokémon League.

Red is offered the newly open position of [[Viridian City]] [[Gym Leader]], and even though he passes the test easily, he has to turn it down due to injuries he suffered from being frozen. He is also asked to help {{adv|Yellow}} deal with finding {{p|Lugia}} in [[Johto]], but also turns it down for the same reason. He learns from {{adv|Blue}} where to heal his wounds and leaves to recuperate at the springs in [[Mt. Silver]] with [[Blue's Charizard]] and [[Blasty|Green's Blastoise]], where he meets [[Sabrina]], also there to heal the same injuries. Sabrina informs him of the Gym Leaders meeting in the Pokémon League, and he later arrives at the scene in time to save {{adv|Blue}}, [[Brock]], and [[Erika]] from a [[Magnet Train|train]] crash.

Red and Blue then travel underground with Blue's new {{p|Rhydon}} towards [[Ilex Forest]], where the villainous [[Masked Man]] headed. Along the way, they meet [[Bruno]] and [[Koga]], two former enemies, who help them on their way and tell them about {{p|Celebi}}.

When they arrive at [[Ilex Forest]], Red, Blue, and the other main characters then team up with several [[legendary Pokémon]] to help fight the [[Masked Man]]. During the battle Red finally learns that {{adv|Yellow}} is a girl. At the end of the story, {{adv|Gold}} becomes impressed with Red and goes to train under him at Mt. Silver.

==={{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}===
[[File:Red FRLG Chapter Adventures.png|thumb|right|150px|Red in the fifth chapter]]
From this chapter onwards, Red wears the new FireRed jacket and hat along with the same shoes and jeans from previously.

Red and Blue meet at {{adv|Professor Oak}}'s lab, where they find messages mysteriously asking them to leave their Pokédexes and head to [[Vermilion City]]. Once there, the two board the [[Seagallop Ferries|Seagallop Ferry]] to the [[Sevii Islands]], where they also find {{adv|Green}} being attacked by {{p|Deoxys}}. They are soon confronted by the new [[Team Rocket]] Admins, the [[The Three Beasts|Beast Warrior Trio]], as well as {{p|Deoxys}}, who is under control of Giovanni. As it turns out, {{adv|Professor Oak}} has been kidnapped by Team Rocket again.

Red undergoes special training under [[Kimberly]] on [[Boon Island]], where his [[Saur|Venusaur]] learns the legendary {{type|Grass}} move {{m|Frenzy Plant}}. However, he is still defeated by Deoxys, who he shares a strange connection with. Red loses his confidence, but eventually regains the will to fight in order to understand the meaning of his connection to Deoxys.

[[File:Red E Chapter Adventures.png|thumb||145px|left|Red in the sixth chapter]]
{{adv|Mewtwo}} shows up and offers to battle under Red's command to get revenge on Deoxys. The two arrive at the Team Rocket helicopter hovering above [[Viridian City]], where Giovanni is searching for his long-lost son. After a very long and fierce battle, Mewtwo manages to defeat Deoxys. However, victory is short as [[Carr]], one of the Beast Warrior Trio, rebels against Team Rocket and, after placing his {{p|Forretress}} all over the helicopter and ordering them to use {{m|Explosion}}, takes over the helicopter. While Deoxys transports everyone else aboard to safety, Red stays behind to defeat the Forretress and stop the aircraft from blowing up over [[Vermilion City]]. In the process, he discovers that Deoxys absorbed a sample of his blood when it broke free from Team Rocket's lab.

At the end of the chapter, Red is turned to stone along with the other main characters by [[Sird]]'s beam intended for Deoxys.

==={{chap|Emerald}}===
Red, along with Blue, Green, Silver, and Yellow, were transported as statues in boxes on the [[S.S. Tidal]] by the other main characters to the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} for their salvation. For most of this chapter, Red, along with four other Pokédex holders, remained frozen in stone. It was only towards the end of the chapter that he and the others were liberated by {{adv|Emerald}} with the help of the wish-granting [[legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Jirachi}}. Free again, Red and the others helped fight [[Guile Hideout]]. In the aftermath of the battle, Red and the other Pokédex holders participated in the Battle Dome tournament, which ultimately concluded in Emerald claiming the Tactics Symbol.

==={{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}===
Red makes a brief cameo appearance in a flashback when Gold talks about his training with him on Mt. Silver in the {{chap|Gold, Silver, & Crystal}}.

==Pokémon==
Red's Pokémon nicknames are taken from two syllables from their Japanese language-version names.

==Badges obtained==
===Indigo League===
Red only has seven of the eight Kanto Gym Badges. Although he defeated {{adv|Giovanni}} at [[Viridian Gym]], he has not obtained the {{Badge|Earth}}.

The Badges Red has obtained were not won in the traditional order. He earned them as follows:

* {{Badge|Boulder}} in ''[[PS005|Onix is On!]]''
* {{Badge|Cascade}} in ''[[PS008|Suddenly Starmie]]''
* {{Badge|Rainbow}} in ''[[PS020|Meanvile...Vileplume!]]''

* {{Badge|Soul}} in ''[[PS031|The Art of Articuno]]''
* {{Badge|Marsh}} in ''[[PS032|A Little Kadabra'll Do It]]''

==Trivia==
* Red's Pokémon were not nicknamed in [[VIZ Media]]'s original translations of [[Pokémon Adventures]], with the exception of [[Pika]]. Their English nicknames were first officially used in [[Chuang Yi]]'s translations of the ''FireRed and LeafGreen'' chapter.
** However, VIZ has recently begun to use nicknames for Red's other Pokémon beginning in {{PAV|9}}.
* Red has the same birth month and blood type as his main nemesis, {{adv|Giovanni}}.
* Red's birthday is the same day as when the first volume of Pokémon Adventures came out.

'''Red''' (Japanese: '''レッド''' ''Red'') is a main character in the manga series [[Pokémon Adventures]]. His first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} was a [[Poli]]wag, which [[evolution|evolved]] into a {{p|Poliwhirl}} when saving him from drowning prior to the beginning of the story, and evolved once more into a {{p|Poliwrath}} in ''[[PS011|Buzz off, Electabuzz!]]''

Red is eleven years old at the beginning of the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}. He is first seen in ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]'', when he shows a group of children the proper way to catch a Pokémon. He demonstrates by using his Poliwhirl to {{pkmn|battle}} a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{DL|Red (Adventures)|Nidorino}}. Red is very sentimental, as shown in the battle versus {{adv|Blue}} in the ninth annual [[Pokémon League]] tournament. He believes that defeating an opponent is no fun if they are at a disadvantage, as seen in both ''[[PS003|The Secret of Kangaskhan]]'' and ''[[PS023|Make Way for Magmar!]]''. At the beginning of the series, he is quite cocky, as shown in ''[[PS008|Suddenly Starmie]]''. However, this cockiness has subsided by the end of the RGB saga.

Red's special skill, as described by {{adv|Professor Oak}}, is Pokémon battling. As such, he is called the '''"[[Pokémon battle|Fighter]]"''' (戦う者 ''Fighter'').

In later adventures, Red has been viewed as a leader amongst the [[Pokédex holder]]s, second only to {{adv|Professor Oak}}.

==Character history==
==={{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}===
[[File:Red RGB chapter Adventures.png|left|thumb|100px|Red before facing Blue in the 9th annual Indigo Plateau Pokémon League]]
In this saga, Red is the main protagonist, and his main rival is {{adv|Blue}}. Red was first seen showing off his catching abilities to a group of little kids, but once they mentioned {{adv|Professor Oak}} and {{adv|Blue|his grandson}}, they left. He then sees a few [[Team Rocket]] Grunts and overhears them talking about {{p|Mew}}. He manages to find it, only to see that Blue, who he didn't know yet, was already battling it with a {{TP|Blue|Charmander}}. Seeing Blue quickly recalling his Pokémon angers Red to a point where he sends out his own [[Poli]]whirl on it and is easily defeated. He then receives some words of wisdom from Blue and decides to suck up his pride and go to see {{adv|Professor Oak}}.

Red enters the seemingly empty lab and notices a {{p|Bulbasaur}}, only to be found by Professor Oak and mistaken for a thief. All of the Professor's [[Poké Ball]]s are then set loose, and Red volunteers to get all of them back. He does so, except for one last Pokémon - the same {{p|Bulbasaur}} from earlier, which he eventually finds in the [[Viridian Gym]]. He manages to calm Bulbasaur down only to be attacked by a wild {{p|Machoke}}. Red then figures out how to use {{m|Solar Beam}} on his own, impressing Oak to the point of giving him a [[Pokédex]] and [[Saur|Bulbasaur]] to keep. He is then sent along by Professor Oak to capture as many Pokémon as he can, and encounters Blue again in [[Viridian Forest]]. The two boys fight over a {{p|Kangaskhan}}, and Red finally learns Blue's name and status as Oak's grandson, beginning a [[rival]]ry with him.

Red later manages to catch a menacing [[Pika]]chu that was destroying industry in [[Pewter City]]. He then runs into {{adv|Blue}} again, learns of the {{Badge|Boulder}} and decides to challenge [[Brock]] and earn Gym Badges. After blowing through the preliminaries with [[Saur]] and [[Poli]] Red realizes that he needs his newly caught Pikachu to beat [[Brock's Onix]]. After a rocky first part of the match, Red earns Pikachu's trust and he defeats Brock. He later encounters [[Misty]] and [[Gyara|her Gyarados]] which had been stolen and went into an intense rage, horribly injuring Misty and her {{p|Staryu}} in the process. After re-capturing the {{p|Gyarados}} for Misty, Red learns about [[Team Rocket]] through Misty and Oak, and sets off to [[Mt. Moon]] after them with Misty. They win a battle against Team Rocket even after the admin [[Koga]] uses an injection to make his {{p|Rhyhorn}} evolve into a {{p|Rhydon}}. While staying in [[Misty]]'s mansion, Misty defeats Red to make him see that they need to be stronger if they want to defeat Team Rocket. After several days of training, he defeats her and wins the {{Badge|Cascade}}.

After stowing away and getting kicked off the [[S.S. Anne]], Red meets the [[Pokémon Fan Club Chairman]], learning from him that his {{p|Abra}}, along with other Pokémon, are being stolen. This leads him back to the S.S. Anne, where he runs into the owner, [[Lt. Surge]]. Lt. Surge, another one of [[Team Rocket]]'s admins, throws Red and [[Poli]] overboard, only to trigger Poli's evolution into a {{p|Poliwrath}}, saving Red from drowning.

Later, Red enters a bike racing contest and uses his Pokémon to give him a good lead, until he and several of the racers are stopped dead by a {{p|Snorlax}}. By using his Bulbasaur covered in honey he catches the Snorlax and wins the race, however all of his prize money is spent to feed it. He then journeys into the Pokémon Tower in [[Lavender Town]] to rescue {{adv|Blue}} who has mysteriously disappeared. He finds Blue possessed by a {{p|Gastly}} owned by [[Koga]]. Red then watches Blue defeat and slice Koga's {{p|Arbok}} in half, and gains some respect towards Blue.

Later, Red is scammed out of his money for fake items by a mischievous girl called {{adv|Green}}. He chases her down and gets his money back, only to realize that his first two Badges, the {{Badge|Boulder}} and the {{Badge|Cascade}}, are gone. He then deduces that the stolen {{p|Squirtle}} mentioned by Professor Oak must have been taken by Green and evolved into {{p|Wartortle}}. Upon hearing some [[Team Rocket]] grunts mentioning her, Red infiltrates [[Team Rocket]] to see what they know about Green, and finds her surrounded by a group of Team Rocket members looking for a mysterious chip she stole, containing information about {{p|Mew}}. Even after everything {{adv|Green}} did to him, Red saves her from Team Rocket. After that, the two of them go after Mew only to find that Team Rocket made it to it again, and Red has to stall them in order for Mew to get away. After this altercation, Green leaves, but not before leaving Red's Badges entrusted in his pocket.

[[File:Red Adventures Running.png|thumb|290px|Red with his team from the first volume's cover]]
Red then accidentally gets his Pokémon swapped with {{adv|Blue}} near [[Celadon City]]. When he tries to battle with them they refuse to obey him, but later he decides to play with them while Blue trains Red's Pokémon with more exotic and useful moves. Blue's Pokémon become more kind to Red and more lighthearted overall, something that greatly annoys Blue when he gets his Pokémon back.

Red then goes to [[Erika]] and challenges her, but she first requires that he proves himself by catching an {{p|Eevee}}. Eventually, with {{adv|Bill}}'s help, Red finds and catches [[Vee|a strange Eevee]] with the ability to swap between any of its evolved forms, due to a special device implemented in its ear. He then goes to find Erika and asks why Eevee is like this, and challenges her to a Gym battle. Erika easily defeats Red, and says that she will kill Eevee due to its deformity. Once Red uses [[Pika]] to protect Eevee, Erika reveals that it was simply a test and the real people that made Eevee like this were [[Team Rocket]].

Red next visits the {{safari|Kanto}} in [[Fuchsia City]], and although he isn't supposed to do anything except watch, he smuggles in a [[Poké Ball]] and catches a {{p|Nidoqueen}}, angering two {{p|Nidoking}} that were fighting over her. He manages to escape them but is then taken by a {{p|Victreebel}} to be eaten for an evolution ritual for the {{p|Bellsprout}} and {{p|Weepinbell}}. He gets away from them only to run into the Nidoking again, resulting in a fight between Nidoking and the Victreebel. Red uses this to catch both Pokémon, and catches many others before he is finally found by the Safari Zone Warden.

He then unknowingly helps Rocket boss {{adv|Giovanni}}, whom he believes is just a researcher, get some [[Fossil]]s and get to [[Pewter City]] through [[Diglett's Cave]], only to see that Pewter Museum of Science is set ablaze by two {{p|Magmar}}. He battles the Magmar with Giovanni studying his moves. Giovanni eventually deduces Red is not a threat to Team Rocket since he lacks in cruelty, unfairness, and brutality. Red is then sent on his way, but not before Giovanni gives him an [[Old Amber]].

Wanting to reach the [[Seafoam Islands]], Red then goes to the bottom of a lake to retrieve the [[HM]] for {{m|Surf}}. He is instead confronted by a {{p|Dragonite}} and decides to use all of his other Pokémon to distract it, only to have their combined weight crush the HM and trap Red's leg under a rock. He is eventually rescued by [[Misty]], who appears and drives the Dragonite off with her {{TP|Misty|Starmie}} and [[Gyara]]dos. Misty then trades Red's {{p|Krabby}} for her Gyarados, who knows {{m|Surf}}. On Seafoam Islands, Red encounters Team Rocket again, who are searching for {{p|Articuno}}.

He then reaches [[Cinnabar Island]], spotting Team Rocket once more and secretly watching them battle [[Blaine]]'s Pokémon from the edge of a cliff. A member spots him and threatens to throw him off the cliff if he doesn't surrender. Blaine appears but with his Gyarados, and the two of them easily overpower the grunts until they reveal their secret weapon, a {{p|Moltres}}. The grunts disperse and Moltres gives chase to the two of them on Blaine's {{p|Rapidash}}. When nothing that they do works, Blaine spots Red's [[Old Amber]] and has him revive it as fast as he can. He gets it revived into an {{p|Aerodactyl}} and with that, he is able to drive Moltres away.

Later, when Red, {{adv|Blue}}, and {{adv|Green}} all fail to get into [[Saffron City]], Red goes to [[Pallet Town]] to ask for {{adv|Professor Oak}}'s advice, only to realize that there is nobody there except for [[Sabrina]] and her {{TP|Sabrina|Kadabra}}, masquerading as Oak. Sabrina, Team Rocket's third admin, then appears to him and pins him to the floor with her psychic powers, challenging him to go back to Saffron City. {{adv|Blue}} then arrives and tells him that Saffron must be [[Team Rocket]]'s headquarters, and they find out that [[Vee]] is missing. Saffron City is protected from invasion by a large {{t|psychic}} barrier, so with some urging from {{adv|Green}}, Red and Blue team up. With [[Pika]]'s {{m|Substitute}} and Blue's {{p|Golduck}}'s {{m|Confusion}}, the two of them locate the source of the {{m|barrier}}, Sabrina's {{p|Mr. Mime}}, and defeat it, allowing access to Saffron City.

After a trap door splits him up from Blue while inside [[Silph Co.]], Red runs into [[Lt. Surge]], who has been equipped with many gadgets involving electricity and {{type|Electric}} Pokémon, powered by {{p|Zapdos}}. Red sends out [[Saur]] in defense and uses {{m|Razor Leaf}} to cut the electrical cords, causing Lt. Surge to get electrocuted. Red swipes the {{Badge|Thunder}} from him as well as a pair of gloves, and finds [[Koga]] standing victorious over {{adv|Blue}}. Red tries to stop Koga from killing Blue, but is restrained by Koga's {{p|Grimer}}. After a hard battle with the legendary {{p|Articuno}}, the same one that Red had saved earlier, the two boys defeat Koga. Red takes the {{Badge|Soul}} from him, and the two split up once again.

He runs into the Badge Energy Amplifier room, where he meets {{adv|Green}}, who hands him the {{Badge|Marsh}} in exchange for his {{evostone|Moon Stone}}. Red fits his seven Badges into the Amplifier and points it at his [[Pika]]chu, when Sabrina appears, and though he points it at Pikachu, the Amplifier does not work. Green then reveals that the two Badges that she returned to him earlier were fake, and escapes with the Amplifier, leaving Red to fight Sabrina. Zapdos, Moltres, and Articuno are merged together when Green inserts the real Badges in, creating [[Thu-Fi-Zer|a new Pokémon]]. Combining their attacks, Red, Blue, and Green eventually defeat it.

Red then journeys back to [[Cerulean City]] to capture the "monster Pokémon", which turns out to be {{adv|Mewtwo}}. After attempting to catch it, Red and his Pokémon are almost sucked into Mewtwo's {{m|Psywave}}. They are saved by [[Blaine]], and Red uses his whole team to fool Mewtwo and catch it with a [[Master Ball]] for Blaine.

[[File:Red Frozen Adventures.png|right|thumb|Red frozen on [[Mt. Moon]]]]
Later, Red encounters {{adv|Yellow}} being attacked by a {{p|Dratini}} in [[Viridian Forest]]. He helps her catch a {{p|Rattata}} and explains how battling and catching Pokémon works. He takes her back to Viridian City and finds that Team Rocket has been releasing abused Pokémon into the Forest to make them stronger. He also learns that the Gym Leader there has been absent for a very long time. Entering the Gym, Red finally meets {{adv|Giovanni}} again, who reveals his true intentions behind the incident at Diglett's Cave. Giovanni then challenges Red with a catch: if Red loses he has to join Team Rocket. After a very intense and long battle, Red defeats Giovanni. He is offered to become the new [[Gym Leader]] of Viridian, but he first wishes to become a better Trainer and goes off to [[Indigo Plateau]].

With the Badges he gained, Red is able to enter the Pokémon League, where he faces {{adv|Blue}} in the final match. Just as Oak notes how Blue has become more instinctual like Red, Red in turn has become more calm and is able to use knowledge as well as instinct. He defeats Blue and his {{TP|Blue|Charizard}} with [[Saur]] and emerges as the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the 9th triennial Pokémon League competition. This makes him interesting to the [[Elite Four]], who are watching the battle from the side.

==={{chap|Yellow}}===
At the beginning of the second chapter, two years after the end of the previous chapter, Red receives an invitation to battle [[Bruno]] of the [[Elite Four]] at [[Mt. Moon]]. During the battle, Bruno stops to let several Diglett and Dugtrio pass and then Agatha uses her mind controlling powers over him to render him incapable of further battle. Red is then confronted by [[Lorelei]] and [[Agatha]], who want him to join them in their quest to wipe out humanity for the sake of Pokémon. They also want information about Giovanni so they can find the {{Badge|Earth}} to power the Badge Energy Amplifier that Agatha retrieved at the [[Silph Co.]] rubble. When he tells the truth, [[Lorelei]] freezes him in a block of ice, making everybody think that he has disappeared since nobody else had seen him for over a month. Only [[Pika]] escapes and makes it to {{adv|Professor Oak}}'s [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|laboratory]], where he teams up with {{adv|Yellow}}.

Red's frozen ice sculpture is found by [[Brock]] in [[Mt. Moon]], but Red is nowhere to be found. Even [[Bruno]], looking for Red so they could finish the battle that they started, can't trace him. As revealed at the end of the chapter, {{adv|Giovanni}} eventually rescued Red, enabling him to seek out his friends and help them fight the [[Elite Four]] on [[Cerise Island]]. Red arrives just in time to save {{adv|Bill}} and [[Lt. Surge]], finally finishing his battle with [[Bruno]].

==={{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}===
[[File:Gold Red Mt Silver.png|left|thumb|Red and Gold heading off to Mt. Silver at the end of the third chapter]]
Red first appears in [[PS108|Quilava Quandray]] when {{adv|Gold}} sees him in a photo at the [[Day Care Center]] showing him as one of the previous winners of the Pokémon League.

Red is offered the newly open position of [[Viridian City]] [[Gym Leader]], and even though he passes the test easily, he has to turn it down due to injuries he suffered from being frozen. He is also asked to help {{adv|Yellow}} deal with finding {{p|Lugia}} in [[Johto]], but also turns it down for the same reason. He learns from {{adv|Blue}} where to heal his wounds and leaves to recuperate at the springs in [[Mt. Silver]] with [[Blue's Charizard]] and [[Blasty|Green's Blastoise]], where he meets [[Sabrina]], also there to heal the same injuries. Sabrina informs him of the Gym Leaders meeting in the Pokémon League, and he later arrives at the scene in time to save {{adv|Blue}}, [[Brock]], and [[Erika]] from a [[Magnet Train|train]] crash.

Red and Blue then travel underground with Blue's new {{p|Rhydon}} towards [[Ilex Forest]], where the villainous [[Masked Man]] headed. Along the way, they meet [[Bruno]] and [[Koga]], two former enemies, who help them on their way and tell them about {{p|Celebi}}.

When they arrive at [[Ilex Forest]], Red, Blue, and the other main characters then team up with several [[legendary Pokémon]] to help fight the [[Masked Man]]. During the battle Red finally learns that {{adv|Yellow}} is a girl. At the end of the story, {{adv|Gold}} becomes impressed with Red and goes to train under him at Mt. Silver.

==={{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}===
[[File:Red FRLG Chapter Adventures.png|thumb|right|150px|Red in the fifth chapter]]
From this chapter onwards, Red wears the new FireRed jacket and hat along with the same shoes and jeans from previously.

Red and Blue meet at {{adv|Professor Oak}}'s lab, where they find messages mysteriously asking them to leave their Pokédexes and head to [[Vermilion City]]. Once there, the two board the [[Seagallop Ferries|Seagallop Ferry]] to the [[Sevii Islands]], where they also find {{adv|Green}} being attacked by {{p|Deoxys}}. They are soon confronted by the new [[Team Rocket]] Admins, the [[The Three Beasts|Beast Warrior Trio]], as well as {{p|Deoxys}}, who is under control of Giovanni. As it turns out, {{adv|Professor Oak}} has been kidnapped by Team Rocket again.

Red undergoes special training under [[Kimberly]] on [[Boon Island]], where his [[Saur|Venusaur]] learns the legendary {{type|Grass}} move {{m|Frenzy Plant}}. However, he is still defeated by Deoxys, who he shares a strange connection with. Red loses his confidence, but eventually regains the will to fight in order to understand the meaning of his connection to Deoxys.

[[File:Red E Chapter Adventures.png|thumb||145px|left|Red in the sixth chapter]]
{{adv|Mewtwo}} shows up and offers to battle under Red's command to get revenge on Deoxys. The two arrive at the Team Rocket helicopter hovering above [[Viridian City]], where Giovanni is searching for his long-lost son. After a very long and fierce battle, Mewtwo manages to defeat Deoxys. However, victory is short as [[Carr]], one of the Beast Warrior Trio, rebels against Team Rocket and, after placing his {{p|Forretress}} all over the helicopter and ordering them to use {{m|Explosion}}, takes over the helicopter. While Deoxys transports everyone else aboard to safety, Red stays behind to defeat the Forretress and stop the aircraft from blowing up over [[Vermilion City]]. In the process, he discovers that Deoxys absorbed a sample of his blood when it broke free from Team Rocket's lab.

At the end of the chapter, Red is turned to stone along with the other main characters by [[Sird]]'s beam intended for Deoxys.

==={{chap|Emerald}}===
Red, along with Blue, Green, Silver, and Yellow, were transported as statues in boxes on the [[S.S. Tidal]] by the other main characters to the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} for their salvation. For most of this chapter, Red, along with four other Pokédex holders, remained frozen in stone. It was only towards the end of the chapter that he and the others were liberated by {{adv|Emerald}} with the help of the wish-granting [[legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Jirachi}}. Free again, Red and the others helped fight [[Guile Hideout]]. In the aftermath of the battle, Red and the other Pokédex holders participated in the Battle Dome tournament, which ultimately concluded in Emerald claiming the Tactics Symbol.

==={{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}===
Red makes a brief cameo appearance in a flashback when Gold talks about his training with him on Mt. Silver in the {{chap|Gold, Silver, & Crystal}}.

==Pokémon==
Red's Pokémon nicknames are taken from two syllables from their Japanese language-version names.

==Badges obtained==
===Indigo League===
Red only has seven of the eight Kanto Gym Badges. Although he defeated {{adv|Giovanni}} at [[Viridian Gym]], he has not obtained the {{Badge|Earth}}.

The Badges Red has obtained were not won in the traditional order. He earned them as follows:

* {{Badge|Boulder}} in ''[[PS005|Onix is On!]]''
* {{Badge|Cascade}} in ''[[PS008|Suddenly Starmie]]''
* {{Badge|Rainbow}} in ''[[PS020|Meanvile...Vileplume!]]''
* {{Badge|Volcano}} in ''[[PS026|Holy Moltres]]''
* {{Badge|Thunder}} in ''[[PS030|Zap! Zap! Zapdos!]]''
* {{Badge|Soul}} in ''[[PS031|The Art of Articuno]]''
* {{Badge|Marsh}} in ''[[PS032|A Little Kadabra'll Do It]]''

==Trivia==
* Red's Pokémon were not nicknamed in [[VIZ Media]]'s original translations of [[Pokémon Adventures]], with the exception of [[Pika]]. Their English nicknames were first officially used in [[Chuang Yi]]'s translations of the ''FireRed and LeafGreen'' chapter.
** However, VIZ has recently begun to use nicknames for Red's other Pokémon beginning in {{PAV|9}}.
* Red has the same birth month and blood type as his main nemesis, {{adv|Giovanni}}.
* Red's birthday is the same day as when the first volume of Pokémon Adventures came out.

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} have arrived at a [[Kanto]] Fair, and Ash feels both nostalgic and excited for seeing lots of Kanto Pokémon crafts. {{an|N}} realizes that Ash excitement must be because he's from Kanto, and Ash says that it's true. Also {{an|Iris}} is excited, and she runs along with Ash to explore the Fair, followed by {{an|Cilan}} and N. As they make their way through the Fair, Ash hears a familiar voice, and sees a video presentation, where none other than {{an|Professor Oak}} himself is presenting the three [[starter Pokémon]] of Kanto: {{type|Water}} {{p|Squirtle}}, {{type|Fire}} {{p|Charmander}}, and {{type|Grass}} {{p|Bulbasaur}}. N asks Ash which Pokémon he chose as his starter, to which Iris tells that {{AP|Pikachu}} is Ash's starter. N is surprised, and Ash explains that he arrived late, and all the other Pokémon were already taken, so he wound up with Pikachu, which turned out to be just great. The video presentation then ends, and a young lady then appears on a small stage, being ready to present Kanto's Fire-type starter Pokémon, Charmander. A puff of smoke covers the stage, and when it clears, a Charmander reveals itself. The crowd is excited, and Ash scans Charmander with his [[Pokédex]]. The presentation begins with Charmander using {{m|Ember}}, charming the audience. Charmander then begins spinning while still using Ember, but soon becomes dizzy and accidentally knocks over a lamp, which crashes onto it, as well as a piece of the stage wall. Ash is worried if Charmander is okay, but then Charmander's tail rises from the rubble, indicating that it's at least somewhat fine.

Charmander is taken to a [[Pokémon Center]], where [[Nurse Joy]] puts some band-aids on it. She notices Ash and his friends outside of the room, and comes out, saying that Charmander just needs a little rest to recover, making them relieved.

With Charmander getting well, Ash and his friends sit down to drink. Ash tells how this Charmander reminded him of his own Charmander. Cilan is surprised, and wonders that didn't Ash start his journey with Pikachu. Ash admits that that is the truth, but that he also later [[EP011|encountered an abandoned Charmander]]...

''Charmander had been abandoned by [[Damian|its Trainer]], who had left it on a rock promising to return when he had no intention of doing so. Ash, {{an|Brock}}, and {{an|Misty}} saved Charmander from a downpour and a flock of wild {{p|Spearow}}, its tail flame barely burning. Rushing to the Pokémon Center, protecting the tail from the pouring rain, the gang waited as Charmander recovered, who left in order to return to the rock and wait. A while later, it had proved its strength by saving Pikachu from the hands of {{TRT}}, prompting its Trainer to return take it back having seen Charmander had learned {{m|Flamethrower}}. Charmander, however, witnessing how selfish its Trainer was, refused to re-join him, and instead agreed to go Ash with Ash and was captured, becoming his fifth Pokémon.

''Ash and Charmander then went through many experiences together, such as [[EP025|helping Ash to catch]] a {{AP|Primeape}}, [[EP032|allowing him to earn]] the {{Badge|Soul}} from [[Koga]], and [[Snow Way Out!|warming him up during a snowstorm]]. Things however took a turn when Charmander [[EP043|soon evolved into]] a {{p|Charmeleon}}, and [[EP044|started to disobey him]], much to Ash's frustration. However he kept on using Charmeleon, and it quickly [[EP046|evolved again]] into a {{AP|Charizard}} in order to battle an {{p|Aerodactyl}}. Despite the evolution, Charizard still retained its [[obedience|disobedience]] but nevertheless [[EP059|helped Ash to defeat]] [[Blaine]] and earn the {{Badge|Volcano}}. Things however did not improve and its [[EP079|disobedience at the Indigo Plateau]] had cost Ash the place in the [[Pokémon League]]'s quarter-finals.''

Iris wonders how this could've happened, to which Cilan reminds her how she has had the same kind of problems with her {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}} and {{TP|Iris|Dragonite}}. N asks Ash if his relationship with Charizard ever improved, and Ash confirms it did when they went to the [[Orange Islands]]...

''Charizard [[EP105|battled against a powerful]] {{p|Poliwrath}} and suffered its first loss since evolving. During the match, Charizard's tail flame was nearly put out as well as getting completely frozen, severely weakening it. Ash stayed along Charizard's side all night, trying to help it recover as well as he could. Seeing how unselfishly Ash was taking care of it, Charizard had finally earned Ash's trust and started obeying him, even defeating Poliwrath in a [[rematch]].''

Iris asks what Charizard is up to now, and Cilan also wonders why Charizard isn't still in Ash's [[party|team]], even though it had become his friend. Ash explains that when he travelled to the [[Johto]] [[region]], everything changed.

''Ash and Charizard were proud of defeating every opponent they went up against. However, when [[EP134|he and his friends had met]] {{jo|Liza}} and found out about the [[Charicific Valley]], where lots of Charizard were training to become stronger, they learned the hard way that there were many tougher opponents out there. Ash's Charizard had tried to test its powers with the Charizard in the Valley, but was proven to be seriously underleveled compared to them. Making one of the hardest decisions of his life, Ash had decided to leave Charizard at the Valley, so that it could train and become more worthy and stronger battler. Since then, Charizard had rejoined Ash in several important fights, such as in [[EP254|his Gym battle against Clair]], [[EP270|his Silver Conference battle against Gary]], as well as [[AG136|his Battle Frontier match]] against [[Noland's Articuno]], proving that its training at the Charicific Valley had indeed paid off.''

The young lady and her Charmander then appear, apologizing for all the trouble they had caused. Ash tells Charmander not to try too much, and it and its Trainer then leave. Ash thinks that he now wants to meet Charizard again, making both Iris and Cilan excited of the idea to see it, Cilan mostly because he wants to see how Ash's relationship with Charizard differs from the one with Pikachu. He makes a phone call to Professor Oak, who tells that Charizard has already been sent from the Valley to the lab, waiting to be transferred. Oak asks which Pokémon Ash is going to send to him as an exchange, to which Ash says that he's going to send his {{AP|Unfezant}}. Oak is interested of how it would get along with Ash's {{AP|other|Noctowl}} {{AP|Flying|Swellow}}-{{AP|types|Staraptor}} at the lab, and agrees. The exchange is then made, sending Unfezant's [[Poké Ball]] to Professor Oak, while Charizard's Poké Ball appears at the Pokémon Center.

Ash joins the others on the outside at the battlefield. Iris and Cilan are eager Ash to show Charizard, so Ash, after taking a deep breath, sends out the Flame Pokémon, which emerges from the Ball with a ground-shaking roar. Pikachu jumps on Charizard's shoulder, and the others are amazed at the sight of the magnificent Flame Pokémon. As Ash introduces Charizard to his friends, it greets him with its usual {{m|Flamethrower}} scorching. Ash compliments Charizard's Flamethrower, and they have a fist tap. Even N is impressed, seeing how much their friendship has deepened just because of Charizard long absence, saying that they are indeed true friends. Ash then calls out his [[Unova]] team to greet Charizard, and Iris does the same. Ash introduces his new Pokémon to Charizard, but quickly Charizard's eyes focus on Iris's Dragonite, who glares back at it with an equally fiery stare. Noticing the sprouting rivalry between their Pokémon, Ash challenges Iris and Dragonite to a battle, saying that it'll be the only way to let the two Pokémon to settle their differences without everything getting out of control. Iris gladly accepts the challenge, making Cilan extremely excited.

The battle begins with Dragonite firing a Flamethrower, which Charizard counters with its own Flamethrower. Charizard then takes flight, with Dragonite following right on its tail. Iris tells Dragonite to use {{m|ThunderPunch}}, which Ash counters by having Charizard use {{m|Wing Attack}}, effectively blocking Dragonite's attack. Ash then has Charizard use {{m|Slash}}, and Iris counters by having Dragonite use {{m|Dragon Rush}}. The two moves collide in a big explosion, and Iris gets excited because of how strong her Dragonite is. However, her hopes are soon crushed as Charizard emerges from the dust cloud and roars loudly. Ash decides to show the results of Charizard's training by having it to counter a {{type|Dragon}} [[move|attack]] with another Dragon-type attack, and tells Charizard to use {{m|Dragon Tail}}. Iris tells Dragonite to fly away, but Charizard quickly catches up and hits the Dragon Pokémon, sending it crashing into the ground. When the dust clears, Dragonite is seen holding its right arm, clearly damaged. N then calls off the battle, saying that the two Pokémon have already settled their differences. Cilan is impressed, and says that it was a good idea to hold this a battle. Iris, however, wonders why Dragon Rush wasn't {{DL|Damage modification|super effective}} on Charizard, since she thought it was a Dragon-type attack. The others then are mildly surprised, N even chucking a bit, and Ash corrects Iris that Charizard is not a Dragon-type. Iris is shocked and asks how Charizard could be able to use a Dragon-type attack and look so much like a Dragon-type, to which Ash replies by showing her Charizard's Pokédex entry, which clearly states that Charizard is a {{t|Fire}}/{{type|Flying}}, shocking Iris even more, as she had already thought about catching herself a Charmander. Ash decides to take Charizard with him on his Unova journey, making both his friends and Charizard excited, with the latter firing a celebrating Flamethrower into the sky.

==Major events==

* [[Ash's Charizard]] returns and is revealed to have learned {{m|Wing Attack}}, {{m|Slash}}, and {{m|Dragon Tail}}.
* Charizard battles [[Iris's Dragonite]]. The battle is called off by {{an|N}}.

==Trivia==
* [[Professor Oak's lecture|Professor Oak's Pokémon Live Caster]]: [[Pokémon Global Link]]'s {{TP|Iris|Dragonite}} event for [[BW117]].
* This is the first appearance of Ash's Charizard since ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]'', 309 episodes ago.
** This is also the first appearance of [[Ash's Primeape]] outside of an opening since [[EP029|its departure to train with Anthony]], 744 episodes ago, appearing in the Charizard flashback sequence.
* This is the first time {{an|Misty}} had a speaking role since ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]''.
** This is also the first time since ''[[DP001|Following A Maiden's Voyage!]]'', 306 episodes ago, when {{Tracey}} has made an appearance in person.
* This episode marks the first time since ''[[EP225|Bulbasaur... the Ambassador!]]'' in which one of Ash's [[Pokemon: Indigo League|Kanto]] Pokémon (besides {{AP|Pikachu}}) is in his regular party (rather than for just a day or for a single event).
* This episode features the following flashbacks, which have all been reanimated to match the style introduced in {{series|Best Wishes}}:
** Ash and {{an|Brock}} saving {{p|Charmander}} from the rain, and Ash later capturing it from ''[[EP011|Charmander – The Stray Pokémon]]''.
** Charmander battling {{AP|Primeape}} from ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]''.
** The battle between Charmander and [[Koga's Golbat]] from ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]''.
** Charmander, {{AP|Pidgeotto}}, {{AP|Bulbasaur}} and {{AP|Squirtle}} huddling with Ash from ''[[Snow Way Out!]]''.
** Charmander's [[evolution]] into {{p|Charmeleon}} in ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]''.
** Charmeleon beginning to disobey Ash in ''[[EP044|The Problem with Paras]]''.
** The battle between Charmeleon and {{p|Aerodactyl}} which caused Charmeleon to evolve from ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''.
** Charizard defeating [[Blaine's Magmar]] from ''[[EP059|Volcanic Panic]]''
** Charizard refusing to battle for Ash, costing him the [[Indigo League]] from ''[[EP079|Friend and Foe Alike]]''.
** Charizard being defeated and severely weakened by [[Tad]]'s {{p|Poliwrath}}, and Ash's later actions that allowed him to regain Charizard's trust in ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]''.
** Charizard's desperation to be accepted at the [[Charicific Valley]] and Ash leaving it behind in ''[[EP134|Charizard's Burning Ambitions]]''.
** Defeating [[Clair's Dragonair]] from ''[[EP254|Better Eight Than Never]]''.
** Defeating [[Gary's Blastoise]] from ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]''.
** Battling [[Noland's Articuno]] from ''[[AG136|The Symbol Life]]''.
* Unlike the other moves seen in the flashbacks, [[Clair's Dragonair]]'s {{m|Iron Tail}} was not reanimated to match the move's appearance in {{series|Best Wishes}}.
* This is the first time a flashback to a previous Pokémon League that is not the most recent one is shown. Flashbacks are shown of the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]] and [[Silver Conference]], and Ash had just recently competed in the [[Vertress Conference]].
[[File:BW116 Team Rocket.png|220px|thumb|[[Team Rocket trio]]'s only appearance in this episode]]
* This episode marks the first time that {{m|Seismic Toss}} is not in Charizard's moveset since it was first used in ''[[EP059|Volcanic Panic]]''.
** Despite being part {{type|Flying}}, this episode also marks the first time Charizard is seen using {{m|Wing Attack|a Flying-type move}}.
* This is the first time when Ash has sent a Pokémon from his [[Unova]] team to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], namely {{AP|Unfezant}}.
* [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} only appear briefly in a flashback being burned by {{AP|Charmander}}'s {{m|Flamethrower}}, leaving only their weak silhouette visible.
* The [[Magikarp salesman]] makes a speaking cameo appearance in this episode as one of the vendors at the Kanto Fair, meaning he has now appeared at least once in every anime series so far.
* Ash's [[Sinnoh]] attire is the only one he was not shown wearing during this episode, as his Charizard does not appear throughout the {{series|Diamond and Pearl}}.

===Errors===
* During the flashback of ''[[Snow Way Out!]]'', some of the feathers on Pidgeotto's head are colored yellow like its {{p|Pidgeot|evolved form}} instead of pink.
* During the flashback of ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', Aerodactyl's leg is colored orange while it holds Ash.
* During the flashback when Ash was sending Charizard to the [[Charicific Valley]], Ash's sleeve is discolored.
* Before Oak sent Ash's Charizard for his Unfezant, his eyes are colored brown instead of black.
* After Ash picks up Charizard's Poké Ball, the wrist of his glove is colored green instead of red.

==Synopsis==
Continuing their adventures in the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} have stopped off at [[Mandarin Island North|Mandarin Island]]. After recalling {{AP|Lapras}}, the trio hear a commotion, and notice a {{p|Grimer}}, {{p|Voltorb}} and four {{p|Magnemite}} attacking their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. Eager to investigate, Ash and the others run to help. However, as {{AP|Pikachu}} approaches, it stops. When Ash inquires as to what is wrong, Pikachu just glares at its master. Out of nowhere, {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} jumps out of {{an|Misty}}'s arms and glares at its Trainer as well. Pikachu and Togepi then join the other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, while Voltorb {{m|Explosion|explodes}}, distracting Ash from rescuing his Pokémon. When the dust clears, [[Officer Jenny]] has arrived, but the Pokémon are gone.

At police headquarters, Jenny explains that for some time, Pokémon have all been disobeying their masters. The only Pokémon that doesn't appear to be affected by it is a {{p|Gastly}}. Jenny explains that she is hoping by using Gastly, they will be able to figure out what is going on. Ash and the others vow to help as well.

Meanwhile, {{TRT}} has arrived on the island. While [[Jessie]] and [[James]] want to go exploring, {{MTR}} becomes angry with them, saying they have important business to do. Suddenly, Meowth pauses. When Jessie and James ask him what is wrong, he takes off. Team Rocket follows Meowth, and end up in a large room. As they get up, they notice [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] looking at them. After both sides say their {{motto}}, Butch and Cassidy explain that they are stealing all the Pokémon on Mandarin Island for {{an|Giovanni|the Boss}}. They present proof by showing all the Pokémon they have stolen so far, which includes Pikachu, Togepi and Meowth. Impressed, Jessie and James decide to steal the Pokémon Butch and Cassidy have taken.

Jessie sends out {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}}, while James sends out {{TP|James|Weezing}} and {{TP|James|Victreebel}}. While Victreebel bites on his head, Butch snaps his fingers. A {{p|Drowzee}} hooked up to a machine appears. As Jessie and James question about it, the {{type|Psychic}} begins using {{m|Hypnosis}}, causing all four of the Rocket's Pokémon to turn against them.

When they awaken, they are with Officer Jenny, Ash and the others. After explaining that they witnessed Butch and Cassidy with all the stolen Pokémon, Ash tries to convince them to infiltrate their base again. The duo refuse, until Jenny convinces them that if they do this, they will be thought of as heroes. Liking this idea, Jessie and James agree to help out.

Looking through a surveillance camera, Butch and Cassidy see Jessie and James roll a large cart up to the entrance of their headquarters. It is filled with Poké Balls. Jessie and James tell the other Rockets that they would like to make peace, and have brought hundreds of Pokémon for them. Butch and Cassidy are skeptical, but let the duo in anyway. As they enter, Ash, Misty and {{Tracey}} jump out and demand Butch and Cassidy return the Pokémon. They refuse, saying that with the help of Drowzee, the Pokémon on Mandarin Island will do whatever they want them to do. Using Drowzee, they have all the Pokémon attack the Trainers.

Suddenly, Ash gets an idea. After Pikachu {{m|ThunderShock|shocks}} him, he gets up, taunting Pikachu into launching another attack. This angers Pikachu, who tries again. Ash keeps dodging the attacks, all while taunting Pikachu. Everybody is confused as to what Ash is doing. When he gets in front of the machine controlling Drowzee, he yells at Pikachu to give it everything it's got. Pikachu launches a massive ThunderShock, which strikes not only Ash, but the machine as well. As a result, it becomes obsolete, causing Drowzee to lose control of all the Pokémon.

Misty happily runs up to Togepi, who, upon seeing her, jumps into her arms. Ash, injured and tired, looks up to see Pikachu jump into his arms. The other Pokémon are released back onto the island, and run off to find their Trainers. However, Butch and Cassidy refuse to let Ash and the others leave. They challenge them to a battle, and Ash accepts. Using Drowzee, Butch and Cassidy are able to confuse Pikachu. Then, they have the Psychic-type use {{m|Metronome}}. Tracey comments this is trouble, as they don't know what move it will use. At the same time, nobody notices Togepi using Metronome as well. When it completes the move, an explosion sends Butch, Cassidy and Drowzee flying, and their headquarters destroyed.

After the duo is arrested, everyone wonders where the explosion came from. Many attribute it to Drowzee's Metronome having backfired on itself. Ash and friends then bid Mandarin Island farewell and head off on their next adventure.

==Trivia==
* [[Professor Oak's lecture]]: {{p|Hitmonchan}}
** Pokémon senryū summary: Send them flying, with one punch, {{p|Hitmonchan}}.
* This is the first time the {{wp|running gag}} of getting [[Butch]]'s name wrong is used. In this case, James called him "Botch".
* Tracey exclaims ''[[Who's That Pokémon?]]'' when he sees {{p|Drowzee}}.
* This is the first time [[Jessie's Lickitung]] was used since [[EP052|the episode it was caught in]] over 30 episodes earlier.
* Both of [[Butch]], [[Cassidy]]'s, [[Jessie]], and [[James]]'s mottos are said at the exact same time in this episode.
** Although Cassidy claims that Jessie and James' version of the motto is incorrect, in ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]'' Meowth claims that Butch and Cassidy stole the motto from them.
* Ash's Pikachu is referred to as a male in the episode. Shortly after [[Officer Jenny]] first arrives, just after the explosion, Ash says "You just gotta find him Officer Jenny!"
* This episode marks the first time Pikachu has been controlled by an evil organization. The second time was in ''[[BW112|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!]]'' when [[Colress]] from [[Team Plasma]] took control of Pikachu
===Errors===
* At the beginning of the episode, four {{p|Magnemite}} are hypnotized by Drowzee. Later in the episode, only three Magnemite are hypnotized.
* At one point, James commands {{TP|James|Weezing}}, {{TP|James|Victreebel}} and {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}} to use {{m|Tackle}}. However, Victreebel and Lickitung [[Anime move errors|cannot legally learn the move in the games]].
** Similarly, Ponyta used Flamethrower, despite that it was impossible to teach a Ponyta this move until [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Pokémon Crystal]].
* In the dub, the [[Pokédex]] classifies {{p|Drowzee}} as the "Hypnotic Pokémon" whereas its actual classification is the ''Hypnosis Pokémon''.
* When the Pokemon attack Jolteon's white collar is missing. But when you see it again it has it's white collar.

'''Metang''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メタング''' ''Metang'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Psychic}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Beldum}} starting at [[level]] 20 and evolves into {{p|Metagross}} starting at level 45.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Metang is a robotic lifeform that has a disc-shaped body with a pair of appendages that resemble Beldum. It has two red eyes and a pointy nose. Even though Metang and its evolved forms are mechanical creatures, they still have emotions, the need to eat and a way of reproducing. Metang has been said to be related to {{p|Magneton}} due to the fact that both of them are partially Steel-type that create electromagnetic waves to float in the air, and probably due to the fact that they evolve in a similar fashion, it takes two Beldum to evolve into a Metang and two Metang to evolve into a Metagross. When not levitating, it stands on its appendages, similar to its evolution. It may use its appendages like boosters to gain speed.
====Gender differences====
Metang is a genderless species.

===Special abilities===
Metang's body is magnetized, and it uses magnetism to move, communicate, and control its attacks. It is said to be related to Magneton, but Metang's magnetism focuses on {{type|Psychic}} moves instead of {{type|Electric}} moves. Metang is capable of two rare {{type|Steel}} moves, {{m|Bullet Punch}} and {{m|Meteor Mash}}. It can also use some Psychic-type moves such as {{m|Psychic}} and {{m|Zen Headbutt}}. Metang has a few {{type|Rock}} moves at its disposal, such as {{m|Rock Tomb}} and {{m|Rock Slide}}. Metang can learn {{m|Grass Knot}} which is somewhat common for a Psychic-type. An anomaly in Metang's movepool is {{m|Sludge Bomb}}. Metang can also learn {{m|Hyper Beam}}, despite being second in a 3-tiered evolution line.

===Behavior===
Metang turns its arms to the rear for traveling at high speed, at over 60 miles per hour (100 kilometers per hour).

===Habitat===
[[File:Rough-terrain Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon}}]]
Metang tend to live in areas with rough terrain, but they are even harder to find than Beldum (which are already very rare). The best (and only) place to find a Metang would be in [[Unova]]'s [[Giant Chasm]].

===Diet===

==Trivia==
* Although it is said that Metang is made up of two Beldum, there is no visible evidence of this. In the only anime episode to date showing a Beldum evolution, ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum]]'', when [[Morrison]]'s Beldum evolves into Metang, it "creates" another Beldum and newly developed main body to evolve, instead of fusing with another Beldum. Likewise, if a Metang evolution is shown, it is highly unlikely it would involve two Metang evolving together. This is similar to the games.
* Metang's number in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]] and the [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Fiore Browser]] are the same: 191.
* Though Metang appears to be floating in both the games and anime, it cannot have the ability {{a|Levitate}}.

===Origin===
Metang is made of two Beldum merged together. It is visually similar to both {{wp|flying saucer}}s and {{wp|crab}}s.

====Name origin====
Metang may be a combination of ''metal'' and ''tang'' (onomatopoeic sound of metal being struck). ''Metang'' is also an anagram of ''{{wp|magnet}}''. It may also be a combination of ''metal'' and ''étang'' (French for the color ''pond blue'').

'''Sabrina''' (Japanese: '''ナツメ''' ''Natsume'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Saffron City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Saffron Gym]]. She hands out the {{Badge|Marsh}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her. She is a young lady with psychic abilities, and thus trains {{type|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==In the games==
Sabrina has appeared in every generation of Pokémon other than [[Generation V]] as the Gym Leader of the [[Saffron Gym]]. Known as "The Master of Psychic Pokémon" ("The Mistress of Psychic-type Pokémon" in [[Generation IV]]), she has had psychic powers ever since she was a child, when she accidentally bent a spoon. She apparently dislikes battling, but is hard to beat because she can communicate with her Pokémon telepathically. Her fame has grown so much that even Trainers living in the [[Sevii Islands]] have heard of her. Previously there were two Gyms in Saffron City, a {{type|Fighting}} Gym, and a Psychic-type Gym. Sabrina used her advantage to defeat the rival Gym and strip them of their Gym status.

She appears to have the ability to see the future. In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} she states that [[Generation I|three years ago]] she foresaw the arrival of another strong challenger (realized in the form of {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}, and {{ga|Lyra}}). After this second defeat, she accepts that the ability of foresight may be limited.

In {{game5|Red|Blue|Yellow|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, Trainers must navigate [[warp tile]]s to find Sabrina hiding in the middle of her Gym. Defeating her will earn them the {{Badge|Marsh}} and a {{type|Psychic}} TM: {{TM|46|Psywave}} in Generation I; {{TM|04|Calm Mind}} in Generation III. The Gym maintains a similar style in {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. The warp tiles are maintained, as is the Badge: Sabrina, however, gives no TM in Generation II and {{TM|48|Skill Swap}} in Generation IV.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Sabrina has received a major redesign, now sporting a vastly different hairstyle and changing her wardrobe from a conservative dark-red turtleneck to a completely new, more casual-looking outfit. After her initial defeat in Saffron City, she ventures outside of her Gym. She can be found at the dock for the [[S.S. Aqua]] in the [[Olivine City]] Harbor at any time on Friday. After the player has obtained her phone number here, she can be called during Sunday afternoon to arrange a rematch at the Fighting Dojo she once defeated.

In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, Sabrina appears in the Pokémon World Tournament as a participant along with other Gym Leaders. She also takes part in [[Pokéstar Studios]] movies as '''Magic Queen Bellelba''' (Japanese: '''まほうクイーンジュジュベ''' ''Magic Queen Jujube''), a villain in [[Mystery Doors of the Magical Land Series]].

Sabrina also appears in {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} and [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]. A large number of her Pokémon here are not of the Psychic-type, including a {{type|Fighting}} {{p|Hitmonlee}}.

===={{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}====
* Before battle
:''"I had a vision of your arrival! I have had psychic powers since I was a little child. I first learned to bend spoons with my mind. I dislike fighting, but if you wish, I will show you my powers!"''

* When defeated
:''"I'm shocked! But a loss is a loss. I admit I didn't work hard enough to win! You earned the <sc>{{badge|Marsh}}!"''

* After being defeated
:''"The <sc>Marsh Badge</sc> makes <sc>Pokémon</sc> up to L70 obey you! Stronger <sc>Pokémon</sc> will become wild, ignoring your orders in battle! Just don't raise your <sc>Pokémon</sc> too much! Wait, please take this TM with you!"''
:''"[[TM46]] is <sc>{{m|Psywave}}</sc>! It uses powerful psychic waves to inflict damage!"''

===={{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}====
* Before battle
:''"I knew you were coming... Three years ago I had a vision of your arrival. You're after my <sc>Badge</sc>. I don't enjoy battling, but it's my duty as a <sc>Leader</sc> to confer <sc>Badge</sc> on anyone who has proven him/herself worthy. Since you wish it, I will show you my psychic powers!"''

* Being defeated
:''"Your power... It far exceeds what I foresaw... Maybe it isn't possible to fully predict what the future holds... Ok, you win. You earned yourself <sc>Marsh Badge</sc>."''

* After being defeated
:''"<sc>Marsh Badge</sc> draws out your subliminal powers... Although I failed to accurately predict your power, this much I know to be true. You will become a celebrated and beloved <sc>Champion</sc>."''
:''"Your love for your <sc>Pokémon</sc> overwhelmed my psychic power... The power of love, I think, is also a kind of psychic power..."''

===={{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}====
* Before battle
:''"I had a vision of your arrival! I have had psychic powers since I was a child. It started when a spoon I carelessly tossed, bent. I dislike battling, but if you wish, I will show you my powers!"''

* When defeated
:''"This loss shocks me! But a loss is a loss. I admit I didn't work hard enough to win. You earned the <sc>Marsh Badge</sc>."''

* After being defeated
:''"The <sc>Marsh Badge</sc> makes <sc>Pokémon</sc> up to Lv. 70 obey you. Stronger <sc>Pokémon</sc> will become wild, ignoring your orders in battle! Just don't raise your <sc>Pokémon</sc> too much to avoid that problem. Wait, please take this [[TM04|TM]] with you."''
:''"Psychic power isn't something that only a few people have. Everyone has psychic power. People just don't realize it."''

=====Saffron Gym=====
* Before battle
:''"I knew you were coming... Three years ago I had a vision of your arrival. You’re after my Badge. I don’t enjoy battling, but it’s my duty as a Gym Leader to confer Badges on anyone who has proven him- or herself worthy. Since you wish it, I will show you my psychic powers!"''

* Sending out last Pokémon

* After being defeated
:''"Your power... It far exceeds what I foresaw... Maybe it isn’t possible to fully predict what the future holds... OK, you win. You earned yourself the Marsh Badge."''

:''"I failed to accurately predict your power. That means that your power is beyond my psychic ability. You deserve this. Please take this TM, too! It contains {{m|Skill Swap}}! It swaps Abilities between the user and the target. You will become a celebrated and beloved Champion!"''

:''"Your love for your Pokémon smashed my psychic abilities... The ability to love, I think, is some kind of psychic ability..."''

=====Pokégear Phone=====
* Calling the player:
:''"Yeah, this is Sabrina. How are you doing? I'll tell you a little about a Psychic's training. Psychic ability is the power to influence people. You close your eyes and clear your mind of excessive thoughts...then you look hard at your sleeping self. That's it. True Psychics aren't the kind who can move things around with their minds. It's all about controlling your own mind."''
:''"Yeah, this is Sabrina. How are you doing? You.. You'll become even stronger than you are now, I know it... You will defeat every Trainer you face and eventually reach the glowing glory... I just wanted to tell you that. Talk to you later!"''

* Calling her:
:''"Hello... Anything new going on with you? I'm the same as usual. There are stronger Gym Leaders than me, you know. That's no good!"''
:''"Hello... Anything new going on with you? I'm the same as usual. I think I've got some free time on Sundays around noon. Could you call me back then?"''

* On Sundays:
:''"Hello... Anything new going on with you? I'm the same as usual. Ah, wonderful! I've got some free time right now. Would you like to battle again?"''
::'''No''': ''"I see... You have the right to refuse an offer. I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up. But I'm still a little disappointed..."''
::'''Yes''': ''"I knew it. That's just like you. So, I'll see you at the Fighting Dojo in Saffron City then!"''

==In the anime==
[[File:Sabrina anime.png|left|thumb|180px|Sabrina with a doll of her former self]]
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Sabrina was the fourth Gym Leader {{Ash}} encountered. He challenged her initially in ''[[EP022|Abra and the Psychic Showdown]]'', and had a rematch with her in ''[[EP024|Haunter Versus Kadabra]]''.

Sabrina inherited her psychic power from her {{TP|Sabrina|father}}, who had the ability to {{m|teleport}} from location to location, as well as telekinesis. It manifested when she was young, and it was soon apparent that Sabrina's abilities far exceeded her father's. She was able to use her psychic powers to do many things- teleportation, telepathy, psychokinesis, and transmutation.

As her power increased, she grew more obsessed with developing it. She became less and less emotional, using her abilities for destructive purposes, even transforming her mother into a doll. This caused a deep psychological rift. The emotions she tried to shut off developed into a separate personality- a young girl who manifested as a puppet around Sabrina. Sabrina's mind was divided into the cold, callous woman with a thirst for power and the little girl who just wanted to have fun.

Sabrina became the Leader of the [[Saffron Gym]], and turned it into an institute where fellow psychics could develop their powers. Ash was headed to [[Saffron City]] one day, unknowingly watched by Sabrina. Sabrina's younger self used her psychic abilities to save Ash and his friends from {{TRT}}. The next day, despite warnings from a mysterious man, Ash challenged Sabrina and lost miserably. Sabrina used her powers to shrink Ash and {{ashfr}}, but they were saved by the same man. He cautioned Ash that only {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon could defeat {{type|Psychic}}s.

Ash resolved to catch a Ghost-type Pokémon. After a trip to the [[Lavender Tower]], Ash returned with a {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}} he had befriended. Ash challenged Sabrina to a rematch, but Haunter had wandered off in the meantime. Ash managed to escape Sabrina's wrath, rescued by the mysterious man once again, but {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}} were transformed into dolls and placed into a dollhouse, where they met Sabrina's mother in the same predicament.

After talking with the man, who was revealed to be Sabrina's father, Ash returned once more, and during the match, Haunter appeared and started to playfully tease Sabrina. Haunter's antics delighted Sabrina so much, that she was no longer able to contain her emotions and started to laugh. This caused her two personalities to merge back into one. Ash was deemed the winner of the match due to the inability of Sabrina or her psychically-linked Pokémon to battle, and he won the Marsh Badge. Haunter chose to stay with Sabrina and her reunited family.

|vajp=Unshō Ishizuka

|desc=Kadabra first appeared as an Abra in ''[[EP022|Abra and the Psychic Showdown]]''. Sabrina used it in a one-on-one Gym battle against {{Ash}}. During the battle with [[Ash's Pikachu]], Abra evolved into a Kadabra and with its {{type|Psychic}} attacks, it eventually caused Ash to forfeit the match to save Pikachu from being hurt anymore. It was shown that Sabrina and Kadabra share a strong psychic bond.

Ash later returned for a rematch in ''[[EP024|Haunter Versus Kadabra]]''. During the battle, [[Sabrina's Haunter|Ash's Haunter]] appeared during the battle and made Sabrina laugh for the first time in years, which caused Kadabra to laugh as well due to the psychic bond it has with Sabrina. Due to this, Sabrina decided to give the {{Badge|Marsh}} to Ash.}}

====Befriended====

|desc=Haunter first appeared in ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]''. {{Ash}} went to [[Pokémon Tower]] to capture a {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon, because [[Sabrina's father]] told him Ghost-type Pokémon were strong against Psychic types like {{p|Kadabra}}. When he was there, he ran into Haunter, as well as its other two evolutionary family members {{p|Gastly}} and {{p|Gengar}}. Ash did not capture any of the three Pokémon, but on the way back to Saffron, he discovered Haunter was following him and decided to use it in his battle with Sabrina.

After returning to the Gym and announcing he wanted to battle Sabrina again, Haunter disappeared, forcing Ash to use his {{AP|Pikachu}} once again. Before the battle was completed, however, Haunter appeared in front of Sabrina and started making faces, causing her to smile and laugh for the first time in many years. Because Sabrina and Kadabra shared a psychic connection, both her and Kadabra were unable to battle from laughing so hard. After Ash was given the {{Badge|Marsh}} and was ready to leave, Haunter remained in [[Saffron City]].}}

==In the manga==
===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[File:Sabrina EToP.png|right|thumb|Sabrina with {{AP|Pikachu}} in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
[[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] {{pkmn|manga}} probably presents the most sympathetic portrayal of Sabrina. She appears in the chapter ''[[ET04|Haunting My Dreams]]'' as a kind and gentle shrine maiden who runs a [[Gym]] in the mountains with her {{TP|Sabrina|Abra}}.

When she was a child, Sabrina's Pokémon were all killed by a gigantic {{p|Haunter}} that used {{m|Dream Eater}} to suck out their souls. After defeating {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}} in a Gym battle, Sabrina hears of the giant Haunter appearing at the [[Pokémon Tower]], and went off to go defeat it. Unfortunately, she herself fell prey to the Haunter and her soul was sucked out. With {{an|Brock}} and Ash's help, Sabrina is able to defeat the Haunter. Although Ash tries to catch it with an {{DL|Poké Ball|Ultra Ball}}, it kills itself using {{m|Selfdestruct}} rather than let itself be captured.

{{p|Abra}} is Sabrina's only known Pokémon. It was used in {{Ash}}'s Gym battle and won. Later, it was able to hold off a Haunter nicknamed the [[Black Fog]].}}

=====Mentioned=====
* Several other Pokémon killed by a {{pkmn2|Giant}} {{p|Haunter}}, the [[Black Fog]].

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Lt. Surge and Sabrina.png|right|thumb|250px|Sabrina and her Mr. Mime (right) with Lt. Surge and his Raichu (left)]]
Sabrina is one of the three villainous heads of [[Team Rocket]], and serves under {{Adv|Giovanni}} in ''[[Pokémon Adventures]]''.

She is first seen on top of her Kadabra after Red leaves Celadon City with an experimental Eevee, commenting how perfect that is even though it was thought that the Eevee had simply escaped.
Under her boss's orders, she captured {{p|Moltres}} and brought it to Saffron City. She then used her Mr. Mime's {{m|Barrier}} to totally close off Saffron City from the outside world. {{adv|Red}}'s [[Pika|Pikachu]] was able to pass through the barrier by using {{m|Substitute}}. He was then able to defeat Mr. Mime and let Red, {{adv|Blue}}, and {{adv|Green}} in. At [[Silph Co.]], Sabrina took on Green, but the younger Trainer was able to best Sabrina by outwitting her than incapacitating her using her [[Jiggly]]'s {{m|Sing}}. However, she snapped out of it soon and found Red and Green in the room that contained the Badge Energy Amplifier. Green then reveals that the Badges she returned to Red were fakes, and flees. She was the one who controlled [[Thu-Fi-Zer]] when it was created by Green by accident, but after [[Saur]]'s evolution to {{p|Venusaur}}, she and the birds were defeated. The bird went free as the Silph Co. building collapsed.

Two years later, Sabrina helped the [[Pallet Town]] Trainers in the fight against the [[Elite Four]] during the [[Cerise Island]] battle. Sabrina's Alakazam created magical items called the [[Spoons of Destiny]]. When held by a strong Trainer, the Spoons of Destiny would point out a Trainer of a similar style and personality. Using these tools, {{adv|Blue}} was paired with [[Koga]], {{adv|Yellow}} was paired with [[Blaine]], {{adv|Red}} was paired with [[Lt. Surge]], and Sabrina herself was paired with {{adv|Green}}. It would seem that all eight members still carry the spoons to this day, as Red made some usage of it in the {{chap|Gold, Silver, & Crystal}}.

Green and Sabrina found themselves battling [[Lorelei]], who used her ice dolls to chain them to each other, something that proved to be a great disadvantage due to their lack of teamwork, which resulted Green being knocked out by Lorelei's {{p|Jynx}}. However, with Green's quick thinking and the act she put up, Lorelei was eventually beaten.

Sabrina suffered severe {{wp|frostbite}} injuries on her wrist. Because of this, she later traveled to mystic springs at [[Johto]]'s [[Mt. Silver]] to heal. There, she found {{adv|Red}} in the springs with the same injury, and warned him of the assaults the [[Masked Man]] was about to commit in the [[Pokémon League]] that was to be held soon.

'''The Pokémon Harbor Patrol!''' (Japanese: '''急げ！ポケモン湾岸救助隊！！''' ''Hurry Up! The Pokémon Gulf Coast Rescue Squad!!'') is the 115th episode of the {{series|Best Wishes}}, and the 772nd episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It first aired in Japan on February 28, 2013 and in the United States on June 1, 2013.
{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
On their journey to the [[White Ruins]], Ash and gang - now joined by {{an|N}} - pass through [[Virbank City]]. {{an|Cilan}} hopes that this time they can watch some local films while {{an|Iris}} explains to N that they had visited the city and helped their friend [[Luke]] shoot a film. Ash, however, detects a funny smell in the air, to which N points out a rising plume of smoke. Guessing that a fire has broken out, the group rushes to investigate.

Upon arrival, the group find a building on fire, and Ash sends out his [[Ash's Oshawott|Oshawott]] to put out the blaze with {{m|Hydro Pump}}, but a {{p|Watchog}} gets in their way and prevents them from proceeding. Ash scans Watchog, wondering why Watchog isn't letting them through, and Watchog points out another group of Pokémon nearby with a Trainer. The Trainer orders a {{p|Dewott}} and a pair of {{p|Frillish}} to put out the fire with Hydro Pump, then commands the Frillish to use {{m|Psychic}} and evacuate people left in the building. Using their powers, the Frillish lift out a pair of people that Iris realizes are actually dummies! The group guesses that the fire is really part of a training exercise, and Watchog nods while the rest of the Pokémon puts out the fire as N silently watches.

Suddenly, Watchog rushes over to the other rescuers and gestures at them, prompting the Trainer to tell it off for leaving its post, but a portion of the building's roof suddenly gives way! Watchog pushes everyone out of the way in time, saving them from being crushed. Ash rushes over to the Trainer to see if he's okay, who answers in the affirmative and introduces himself as [[Halsey]]. The group points out Watchog saving them from harm, and Iris asks if Watchog can predict the future. Cilan explains that Watchog have naturally heightened senses, and are rumored to also be capable of X-ray vision to see through obstacles and underground. N indicates to a confused Halsey that he heard Watchog's heart, and Iris explains N's ability to Halsey. Halsey formally introduces his team as the Pokémon Harbor Patrol, responsible for performing rescues around the harbor and the [[Virbank Complex]], but Dewott suddenly begins angrily arguing with Watchog. Halsey knows that Dewott is mad at Watchog for leaving its post, and while he knows that Watchog meant well, he nonetheless reminds Watchog that its role is to keep a lookout at all times and prevent civilians from entering the danger zone. Watchog is upset at this, and N reveals that Watchog is saying that it wants to participate in rescues. Cilan agrees with the notion, remarking that since Watchog is a part of the patrol squad it wants to take a more active role. Iris suggests that Watchog be put through an aptitude test to see if it can perform well enough for rescues, and Halsey relents. Meanwhile, the [[Team Rocket trio]] watches from afar, planning to steal [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]].

Moving onto another part of the training facility, Halsey brings Watchog through a series of tests with Dewott demonstrating. The first test involves lifting a pair of heavy weights, which Dewott accomplishes after a brief struggle. Watchog seems to have much more trouble with the weights, but succeeds in lifting them up using its {{m|Strength}} attack. The second test involves breaking through a huge block, as the squad needs to get around obstacles in rescues. Dewott slices through the block with its {{m|Razor Shell}}, and Watchog does the same with its {{m|Cut}}. The final test is to put out a small fire; a task Dewott easily accomplishes with a powerful Hydro Pump. Watchog tries putting out its fire with {{m|Sand-Attack}}, but its efforts are far weaker in comparison. Iris and Cilan are less than impressed, but Ash continues cheering Watchog on. Flustered, Watchog tries flapping at the fire with its tail in a last-ditch effort, but this only manages to set its tail on fire, forcing Dewott to put Watchog out. Iris is disappointed that Watchog failed its test. Halsey consoles Watchog that Pokémon have different abilities and he still feels that Watchog is still best suited for guard duty. He reminds Watchog that guard duty is an equally important role, and everyone encourages Watchog - until N, finally no longer content with watching silently, speaks up. N admits that he cannot agree with the idea of tasking Pokémon with rescuing humans as it puts the Pokémon in danger. In defense, Halsey points out that humans rescue Pokémon as well, and rescuing should not discriminate between people or Pokémon. Tension is in the air as the two young men glare at each other, but Halsey receives a distress call: a fire has broken out at the industrial complex, and worse still there are students from the local kindergarten visiting. Halsey informs the others that he has to go, and Ash's group convinces Halsey to let them tag along and help with evacuation. At the same time, Team Rocket keeps their sights on Pikachu...

At the complex, everyone quickly evacuates the children and their teacher. Halsey confirms from some workers that there are other workers still further in the complex. Ash convinces Halsey to leave evacuation to them, allowing Halsey, Dewott and Frillish to go put out the fire. Wearing gas masks, Halsey and his team (sans Watchog) venture into the building where the fire broke out, and discover the source: a burning fuse box. Dewott slices the box open with Razor Shell, allowing the three Pokémon to blast it with Hydro Pump. Meanwhile, Ash and the others gesture to the escaping workers towards the exit, including a disguised Team Rocket. James tells Ash to go into the complex to rescue other workers, but as soon as Ash's back is turned, Team Rocket captures Pikachu in a capsule. Ash, turning around, demands an explanation as Team Rocket reveals themselves and recite their motto. James sends out [[James's Yamask|Yamask]] and orders a {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, which Ash counters with Oshawott's Hydro Pump. Jessie retaliates with [[Jessie's Woobat|Woobat]]'s {{m|Air Slash}}, but Iris orders a {{m|Dragon Rage}} from [[Iris's Axew|Axew]], which bursts through the Air Slash and sends the capsule holding Pikachu flying. Oshawott breaks the capsule open with Razor Shell, freeing Pikachu, but Jessie orders a barrage of {{m|Hidden Power}} orbs from Woobat. Pikachu expertly dodges the attacks, but the attack ends up hitting a power generator, setting it on fire! Back in the basement, Halsey succeeds in putting out the fire, but due to the new fire above ground, a fuse trips causing the fire alarm to sound and the surrounding doors to commence lockdown, shutting Halsey's team in!

Pikachu tries to attack Team Rocket, but they dodge all its attacks and taunt Ash before flying away on jetpacks. Iris and Cilan gesture to Ash, saying the fire is starting to get worse and must be put out. Oshawott tries its Hydro Pump, but fails to make significant headway. Ash calls Halsey using the complex's intercom and finds out that Halsey is trapped. Halsey asks Ash and his group to evacuate, but Ash insists on staying to help Halsey. Cilan suggests digging an escape tunnel to Halsey using [[Iris's Excadrill]] while Ash tries to hold back the fire as best as he can. Iris sends out Excadrill and orders a {{m|Dig}}, but Excadrill quickly resurfaces. N reveals that Excadrill has hit solid rock that it can't dig through, and everyone is troubled as to how to proceed.

At the entrance, security personnel and Watchog hold back a group of concerned locals, when N approaches Watchog asking for its help. N brings Watchog back to Excadrill's dug tunnel, explaining that Watchog can use its senses to detect where it's possible to dig through underground, and N can relay that information to Iris who can direct Excadrill. The plan is put in motion with Watchog concentrating hard, closing its eyes to hone its senses and pass the information onto N, Iris and Excadrill. Finally, Excadrill makes a breakthrough into the passage where Halsey's team is.

Back at the fire, Ash encourages Oshawott to keep up its efforts, but eventually Oshawott's Hydro Pump peters out as it is exhausted. However, Halsey and his group arrive on the scene, with him ordering not only a Hydro Pump from Dewott and Frillish, but also a Sand-Attack from Watchog, and in no time the fire is extinguished. Everyone is glad that disaster has been averted, and Halsey thanks N for his quick thinking in relying on Watchog's senses, remarking that perhaps his opinion of Watchog's rescue abilities is wrong. Likewise, N explains that ''his'' opinion has also changed - Watchog isn't rescuing people because it's being forced to, but because it wants to from the bottom of its heart and help both people and Pokémon. Dewott and Frillish feel the same way, and N concludes that the Harbor Patrol is doing people and Pokémon a great service. With their differences settled, Halsey and N shake hands.

That evening, Halsey bids the gang farewell as they continue their journey towards the White Ruins.

==Border==
I've brought this up before about the horrid border coloration, but it has still stayed in place. I have an idea, in that we could colour it white and blue, like his clothing. It would look so much nicer. Torngentleman2 10:03, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
:That would probably be good. Why the box colors are those of Pikachu is quite puzzling. --[[User:Jda95|'''jda''']][[User talk:Jda95|'''95''']] 10:06, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
::I think they are the colors of the Red and Yellow games; because Ash is based on Red and Yellow was based on the anime.

::PS: Torngentleman2, you are not allowed to have images in your signature. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 10:12, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
:::Now that I'm looking at it, that would look much nicer. --[[User:Nathan2055|Nathan2055]][[User Talk:Nathan2055|talk]] 15:58, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
::::[[User:Kenji-girl/Sandbox|Thoughts?]] I personally like example 2. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 23:45, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
:::::I love Example 3. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 00:39, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
::::::Now for me it's a close call between number 2 & number 4, I think the yellow is good to have, honestly though, I like them all more than the current colours [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokémon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 01:01, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
:::::::Example 2 and 4 are my choices. I don't care which one as long as there is some yellow in there. It's not that important that we change the colors, but I do agree that the current borders are a bad combination of colors.--[[User:Alex726|'''Alex''''''726''']][[User talk:Alex726|'''(TALK)''']] 02:42, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
::::::::I too felt there should be yellow in there. Having white and blue only sort of implies he's a Water and Normal-type Trainer to me... Which is why I still like 2. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 04:25, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
:::::::::I definately think Example 2 is better than Example 4, but my personal favourite is Example 1, as Pikachu is in the image, so he's not unrepresented. [[User:Torngentleman2|Torngentleman2]] 16:52, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
::::::::::I've thought long and hard, I have decided I like the yellow on example 2 best [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokémon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 22:00, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
:::::::::::I think this looks better if you replace the "normal" with "white"--[[User:Burgundy|Burg]][[User talk: Burgundy|undy]] 23:47, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

==Talk page note==
I don't think we need the "ALL CAPS" note on the top of this page. Wouldn't it be better leaving it as a hidden note or in some other format, as it doesn't seem to come up very often in the archives?--[[User:Tim Thomason|Tim Thomason]] 19:07, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
:We do. It comes up all the time but a lot of the edits get reverted. Check the history. [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 19:13, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

=='As of BW001'==
I think we should get rid of that note next to his age. If he hasn't aged over all that time, he's never going to reach 11. So I think we should just list his age as 10 and nothing but, so it looks neater. [[User:Torngentleman2|Torngentleman2]] 14:44, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
:Well, there have been two times on where it was implied that Ash was 11, one was in [[EP063]] (albeit being only present in the dub versions), and the special on where they celebrate the first anniversary since Ash and Pikachu first met, if I remembered which one it was, I'd link it. But yeah, the series have implied (whether on dub or not) that time has passed whether it actually happened or not. I guess that's why it's been pointed out. [[User:Masatoshi|Masatoshi]][[User_talk:Masatoshi|''talk'']] 15:12, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

I'm going to say this again. Do not turn this into an age discussion. That's not what this was about. Violators will be dealt with. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 00:01, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

== Manga ==

We most add that his counterpart in the pokemon adventures manga red is. Both have fight there rival in the final of the pokemon league and win. Both have a Pikachu. We most edit this.--[[User:Nazirbashir|Nazirbashir]] 08:11, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

== Just out of sheer curiosity... ==

Why was so much Trivia removed? I mean, that was a LOT of trivia, and I could see the reason for most of it being removed (out of date, etc.) but there is some of it that is still valid right (like the stuff about how he constructs his teams)? Just one person's opinion, and I am not staff or anything, so feel free to ignore or whatever, but I was just curious. --[[User:Jediknightdtv|ジェダイの騎士]][[User talk:Jediknightdtv|デジタルテレビ]] 23:11, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
:I think it was tooooo long, so someone shorten it so the page would load all right. That's just my guess. [[User:Truthseeker4449|Truthseeker4449]] 19:05, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

== Oversized page ==

I got a message on the edit page saying that it reached the limit of over 32kb and needs to be broken into smaller sections. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 22:16, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
:A lot of big pages say that. I don't believe it's a concern. —♥ [[User:Jello|Jello]][[User Talk:Jello|talk]] 22:17, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

== Rotation ==

Come on, why is Pikachu in rotation too? -[[User:Billy4b2004|Billy4b2004]] 06:57, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
:And we still have complaints? Geesh. Why are Snivy, Tepig, Oshawott, and Scraggy there despite never leaving Ash's team? These are the pokémon he is using in Unova, so they are all in one section. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 15:25, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

== Archeops ==

The Archeops from [[BW040]] could potentially go in Ash's 'temporary' section, but I don't know whether or not it would be classed as being trained by Ash, or at least Ash in particular. What do you guys think? [[User:Torngentleman2|Torngentleman2]] 19:48, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
:Wait for the episode to air so we fully know the circumstances. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 23:47, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
::The episode has airred, this user ment to say [[BW036]], that's the Archeops he is reffering to [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokémon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 23:51, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
:::I think it's a bit different. With Cottonee, he actually trained it, and used it to battle against Iris and Cilan. Archen he only helped teach to fly, and he wasn't the only one. He was just the only one with a flying type (who would listen). But he never actually commanded it.

If we are counting Reshiram/Zekrom as under Dread's ownership, then shouldn't we do the same for Ash? [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokémon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 20:41, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
:I haven't seen the movie. But movie characters =/= main characters. They are permitted to have Pokémon like that because that will be their only full appearance. Both [[Sam]] and Ash befriended Celebi equally yet Sam is the only one who has Celebi on his page. And since I didn't see the movie, I have no idea if Ash had as much influence over Reshiram/Zekrom as Dread Grangil did.

:Unless Ash specifically gave Reshiram/Zekrom commands, then they're just like all of the other legendaries he's befriended and worked with. Ash has to have some sort of dominance over them and/or having an extremely close relationship like May and Manaphy rather than just going along for the ride. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 01:50, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

We can never be certain who Ash rotates as seen in BW036 were he had the usually "rotatee", Tranquill, and Roggenrola at the same time. Meaning he had to send either Snivy, Tepig, or Scraggy (not Oshawott because he was there too). A lot of times they don't reveal who Ash sent back when he withdrew another.

== Ash's Gliscor ==

Hi. um. Shouldn't Gliscor should be in the section with Charizard and Squirtle instead of the "Status Unknown". I mean, Ash left Gliscor with the Air Battle Master and then he recalled Gliscor back for the Sinnoh League. And if Gliscor is not in Pf. Oak's lab, Gliscor should be back with the Air Battle Master.{{unsigned|Mr. RPG}}

:Everyone is being needlessly picky and saying that we don't have confirmation that Gliscor went back into training. I argued on [[Talk:Ash's Gliscor]] that on one of Charizard's reappearances it was not confirmed that it went back to the Valley until it appeared next, yet that appears not to be a problem. Nothing suggests that Torterra or any of the others were sent back to Oak's lab - it was presumed. Why shouldn't Gliscor be presumed as well?

== Pikachu in Rotation? ==

OK, I know there has already been a big dispute over stuff like this, but I don't think it makes sense to say Pikachu is in rotation. Pikachu is ALWAYS with Ash in every episode, and Ash would need to transfer Pikachu via a Poké Ball, which Pikachu has not been in since the 1st episode. I think we can safely say that Pikachu is "on hand." サトシ 23:03, 27 December 2011 (UTC) ([[User:Satoshi101]])

Another Trivia piece if you don't mind......

Every time Ash battles and defeats a rival, he constantly loses to the next one in league tournaments, usually because his opponents are older, more experienced trainers with Pokémon that Ash has never seen or battled before.

Other than the Orange League, Ash has never won a league tournament.

Ash seems to catch less Pokémon when he is traveling with a new trainer.
While traveling with May he caught 6 Pokémon, and while traveling with Dawn he caught 5 and obtained Buizel by trading with Dawn.
While traveling with Misty he caught 18 Pokémon not counting Pikachu which he obtained by Professor Oak, and so far while traveling with Cilan and Iris he has caught 7 Pokémon and hatched Scraggy from an egg.

'''Purrloin''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''チョロネコ''' ''Choroneko'') is a {{type|Dark}} Pokémon.

It evolves into {{p|Liepard}} starting at level 20.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Purrloin is a primarily purple-colored, feline Pokémon. Its head is large proportional to its body, and tufted at its ears and cheeks. Long, tapered violet markings above its green, feline eyes extend towards its ears. Tapered whitish markings above its eyes resemble eyebrows, and its muzzle, sporting a diminutive nose, is of similar coloration. Its neck, shoulders, back and hind paws are also whitish-colored. The lower portion of its forelimbs are purple, and the tip of its tail sports a curved, vaguely scythe-like extension.

====Gender differences====
None.
===Special abilities===
Purrloin can stand and move around on its rear legs.

===Behavior===
It likes to play with people's belongings and making off with them. In order to do so, it often puts up a cute act to put people's guard down before stealing their belongings. Even when caught red-handed, it usually gets off the hook due to its charming behavior. When angered, it fights back with its claws.

==Trivia==
* Purrloin was seen first in the [[Pokémon Sunday]] special episode preview in September 6. It was later removed from the same preview, much like the revelation of {{p|Zekrom}}'s secondary type earlier.
* Purrloin is the only Pokémon that has a base stat total of 281.
* Purrloin has the lowest {{stat|Attack}} base stat of all {{type|Dark}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
Purrloin is based on a {{wp|black cat}}.

====Name origin====
Purrloin is a combination of ''purr'' (a sound a cat makes) and ''purloin'' (to steal).

Choroneko may be a combination of ちょろまかす ''choromakasu'' (to pilfer) and 猫 ''neko'' (cat).

== About the german/french name origin ==
I have no idea what che- means (maybe from {{wp|Chevrolet}} lol), but I'm pretty sure that -vrumm/-vroum comes from the sound that a car makes when the engine is revving. (probably referencing the riding part) [[User:Raykyogrou0|Raykyogrou0]] ''([[User talk:Raykyogrou0|Talk]])'' 05:45, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
: I believe that chev- comes form "chèvre", french word for "goat". {{unsigned|Toback}}
::The -vrumm/-vroum also relates to the 轟轟 (gōgō) in japanese, which is the onomatopoeia for "engine sounds".[[User:KurowaSan|KurowaSan]] ([[User talk:KurowaSan|talk]]) 04:18, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

== Goat? More like a deer. ==

Looks like t would be related to the Tragelaphus family with the Kudu, Bushbuck, & Nyala. {{unsigned|Likalaruku}}
:It clearly looks like a goat. Not to mention its name is Go'''goat'''. [[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 07:28, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
::Yeah I agree with Jo. A member of the Tragelaphus family has either straight horns or horns with a spiral to them. The horns of Gogoat are more indicative of a goat which grow backwards at a curve. [[User:Nuckles123|Nuckles123]] ([[User talk:Nuckles123|talk]]) 17:21, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
:::Animal type Pokemon are usually a blend of different animals, but I suppose the Markhor goat does look very similar to the Greater Kudu antelope. {{unsigned|Likalaruku}}
::::Yeah but Gogoat is not based off a Markhor goat. More likely it is based off one of the more common breeds of farm goats (based off the horns).[[User:Nuckles123|Nuckles123]] ([[User talk:Nuckles123|talk]]) 21:13, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
It seems to draw inspiration from both Goats and Rams. While goats and the sheep family are related, Goats are hairy and sheep are wooly. Its clearly giving off a wooly look with its grassy mane ruff and bushy (no pun intended) tail, but like a true goat, its tail sticks up. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 00:20, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
: I agree with you on that point, but it certainly wasn't designed after a deer. [[User:Nuckles123|Nuckles123]] ([[User talk:Nuckles123|talk]]) 04:48, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
:: I have to say it does have some resemblance to Gazelle such as the {{wp|Grant's Gazelle}} (eye area) & {{wp|Soemmerring's gazelle}} (feet area) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:GazellaSoemmerringiWolf.jpg which belong to the same family Bovid. Many people incorrectly think of and assume Antelopes/Gazelles are deers. Even I was under the assumption until I looked it up after noticing a similarity between Gogoto and a Grant'z Gazelle (again in the eye area) pic I once saw.

::: I agree that superficially, they resemble Gogoat, but I think this is because of convergent evolution. Goat and antelope fill similar biological niches, so they have evolved a few similar structures. Overall though, I think the inspiration behind the Pokemon is from a goat.

: I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be "Gogoat". [[User:JacobTheDoduo|JacobtheDoduo]] ([[User talk:JacobTheDoduo|talk]]) 17:22, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
::There is nothing confirming that. We do not assume romanizations. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 17:30, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

== Horn Leech ==

Is it worth mentioning that its signature move is [[Horn Leech]]? [[User:MasterZ|MasterZ]] ([[User talk:MasterZ|talk]]) 23:03, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
:{{p|Sawsbuck|It's not...}}--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 23:24, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

So many Grass types learn Horn Leech. True, GoGoat/Gogoto was released with an animation of Horn Leech, but other Pokémon learn it.[[User:152105|152105]] ([[User talk:152105|talk]]) 20:56, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
:What are you talking about? Only Sawsbuck can learn it prior to X and Y. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 21:07, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

== About the german/french name origin ==
I have no idea what che- means (maybe from {{wp|Chevrolet}} lol), but I'm pretty sure that -vrumm/-vroum comes from the sound that a car makes when the engine is revving. (probably referencing the riding part) [[User:Raykyogrou0|Raykyogrou0]] ''([[User talk:Raykyogrou0|Talk]])'' 05:45, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
: I believe that chev- comes form "chèvre", french word for "goat". {{unsigned|Toback}}
::The -vrumm/-vroum also relates to the 轟轟 (gōgō) in japanese, which is the onomatopoeia for "engine sounds".[[User:KurowaSan|KurowaSan]] ([[User talk:KurowaSan|talk]]) 04:18, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

== Goat? More like a deer. ==

Looks like t would be related to the Tragelaphus family with the Kudu, Bushbuck, & Nyala. {{unsigned|Likalaruku}}
:It clearly looks like a goat. Not to mention its name is Go'''goat'''. [[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 07:28, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
::Yeah I agree with Jo. A member of the Tragelaphus family has either straight horns or horns with a spiral to them. The horns of Gogoat are more indicative of a goat which grow backwards at a curve. [[User:Nuckles123|Nuckles123]] ([[User talk:Nuckles123|talk]]) 17:21, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
:::Animal type Pokemon are usually a blend of different animals, but I suppose the Markhor goat does look very similar to the Greater Kudu antelope. {{unsigned|Likalaruku}}
::::Yeah but Gogoat is not based off a Markhor goat. More likely it is based off one of the more common breeds of farm goats (based off the horns).[[User:Nuckles123|Nuckles123]] ([[User talk:Nuckles123|talk]]) 21:13, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
It seems to draw inspiration from both Goats and Rams. While goats and the sheep family are related, Goats are hairy and sheep are wooly. Its clearly giving off a wooly look with its grassy mane ruff and bushy (no pun intended) tail, but like a true goat, its tail sticks up. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 00:20, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
: I agree with you on that point, but it certainly wasn't designed after a deer. [[User:Nuckles123|Nuckles123]] ([[User talk:Nuckles123|talk]]) 04:48, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
:: I have to say it does have some resemblance to Gazelle such as the {{wp|Grant's Gazelle}} (eye area) & {{wp|Soemmerring's gazelle}} (feet area) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:GazellaSoemmerringiWolf.jpg which belong to the same family Bovid. Many people incorrectly think of and assume Antelopes/Gazelles are deers. Even I was under the assumption until I looked it up after noticing a similarity between Gogoto and a Grant'z Gazelle (again in the eye area) pic I once saw.

:: By the way, Likalaruku. Don't forget to sign your talk page posts with <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 07:28, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
::: I agree that superficially, they resemble Gogoat, but I think this is because of convergent evolution. Goat and antelope fill similar biological niches, so they have evolved a few similar structures. Overall though, I think the inspiration behind the Pokemon is from a goat.

== Ken Sugimori artwork ==

The main picture needs to update to the newest Ken Sugimori artwork. [[a:File:Gogoat.png]] [[User:Terry152|Terry152]] ([[User talk:Terry152|talk]]) 01:30, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
:That actually is the artwork that's being used right now. However, it takes some time for it to update on the page. --[[User:Funktastic~!|'''It's''' '''Funktastic~!''']][[User talk:Funktastic~!|''話してください'']] 01:43, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

== Physiology ==

The physiology section on this article is written in plural, while nearly all of the other articles for Pokémon are written in singular. Part of [[Pikachu (Pokémon)|Pikachu's]]:
"Pikachu is a short, chubby, rodent-like Pokémon with yellow fur all over its body. Pikachu's ears are long and come to a point with black tips. It has a small mouth, which resembles a sideways 3, it has black eyes with white pupils and two red circles on its cheeks."
Are all of the articles supposed to mention the said Pokémon in plural form or singular? Does it matter? -- [[User:Pringles|Pringles]] 00:04, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
:The biology section of the articles is meant to refer to the species as a whole, not a single Pokemon. Ideally, they should be written in plural form. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 03:05, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

'''Lucario''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ルカリオ''' ''Lucario'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fighting|Steel}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Riolu}} when [[level]]ed up with high [[friendship]] during the [[Time|day]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Lucario is a bipedal, jackal-like Pokémon, with fur that is predominantly blue and black. It possesses a short, round spike on the back of each forepaw, in addition to a third on its chest. Lucario's snout and ears are longer than those of its pre-evolution, {{p|Riolu}}. It possesses cream-colored fur on its torso, and blue fur on its thighs that resembles shorts. Lucario stands on its toes rather than on its entire foot. It has developed four small black appendages on its head, which rise when Lucario reads or manipulates aura.

====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
Lucario are sensitive to a special type of energy called [[aura]]. Lucario can study this energy to predict the movements of their opponents and track their quarry. They also have the power to manipulate this energy in an offensive manner, in the form of [[Aura Sphere (move)|explosive spheres of aura energy]]. Lucario can understand human speech, and have been reported to communicate with humans through telepathy.

===Behavior===
Lucario are considered to be prideful creatures, and are extremely loyal to their Trainers. Lucario also seem to have a natural sense of justice.

===Habitat===
Lucario usually live deep in mountains very far from people to improve their skills. Therefore, like {{p|Milotic}} and {{p|Togekiss}}, they are some of the rarest non-legendary Pokémon known, and finding a wild Lucario is excruciatingly difficult.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
The Lucario in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' was shown eating Berries and plants, like roses. Lucario has been seen eating chocolate, introduced by [[Max]] with it gaining no ill-effects from the {{wp|theobromine}}, though not part of its natural diet.

==In the anime==
[[File:Cameron Lucario.png|thumb|250px|right|Lucario in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Lucario (M08)]]====
Lucario was one of the main Pokémon in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''. It belonged to [[Sir Aaron]] and was sealed away in his staff for a thousand years. Ash later released it during a festival, and it helped guide him to the [[Tree of Beginning]] after {{mov|Mew|Mew|8}} teleported {{AP|Pikachu}} there.

====[[Maylene's Lucario]]====
Lucario is Maylene's main Pokémon, it was first seen in ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]'' {{pkmn|battle|battling}} with Maylene in their {{pkmn|training}}. Lucario used {{m|Aura Sphere}} to stop the battle of {{TP|Paul|Electabuzz|Electivire}}, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and {{AP|Pikachu}}. It was used in Maylene's matches with [[Paul]], {{an|Dawn}} and {{Ash}}.

====[[Riley's Lucario]]====
This Lucario debuted in ''[[DP110|Steeling Peace of Mind!]]'' at [[Iron Island]]. When {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} traveled there after being contacted by {{an|Barry}}, they found the local {{type|Steel}} Pokémon fighting brutally against each other and the other Pokémon on the island. When a crazed {{p|Aggron}} attacked Ash, [[Riley]] stepped in and had Lucario attack it with {{m|Close Combat}}. Despite being a Steel type as well, Lucario wasn't immediately affected like the others of its type due to its strong [[aura]].

====[[Cameron's Lucario]]====
{{un|Cameron}}'s {{p|Riolu}} evolved into a Lucario in ''[[BW107|Cameron's Secret Weapon!]]'' in a [[Vertress Conference]] battle against [[Ash's Snivy]]. It beat Snivy and fought against [[Ash's Pikachu]] in ''[[BW108|A Unova League Evolution]]'', and won, but lost to [[Virgil]]'s {{p|Flareon}} later in the episode.

===Minor appearances===
Lucario also makes a brief appearance at the intro of ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', where one is shown dodging a {{p|Rayquaza}}'s {{m|Hyper Beam}}.

A Lucario and {{p|Froslass}} were seen in a Double Contest on TV in ''[[DP150|Unlocking the Red Chain of Events!]]''.

==Trivia==
[[Image:Dusty.png|thumb|Dusty's Lucario costume]]
* Lucario's English name was revealed on February 9, 2006 with the announcement of the title of ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''.
* Before {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} were released, many fans assumed Lucario would be a [[legendary Pokémon]], based on its starring role in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''. This has since been proven untrue, as it is readily available in the [[Generation IV]] games, is under ownership by NPCs, and even [[Evolution|evolves]] from a Pokémon, {{p|Riolu}}.
* In {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}, Lucario is the only one out of three Gem Guardians that is not a legendary Pokémon.
* In {{g|Battle Revolution}}, a Lucario costume is seen, worn by [[Dusty]].
* Due to Lucario's combination of Abilities, in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}} and {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}} Steadfast only activates if Lucario becomes {{DL|Seeds|X-Eye Seed|cross-eyed}}, or if the opponent has {{a|Mold Breaker}}.
* Lucario has the highest {{stat|Special Attack}} base stat of all non-legendary {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon.
** It is also the only non-legendary {{type|Fighting}} whose Special Attack base stat is higher than its {{stat|Attack}} base stat.

===Origin===
Lucario appears to be based on the Egyptian god of funerals, {{wp|Anubis}}, who has the head of a {{wp|jackal}}. Anubis's role in Egyptian mythology was to judge the hearts of deceased souls based on their actions during life. This resembles Lucario's ability to see a life form's aura. It also seems to be based on an Egyptian boxer. {{wp|Boxing}} is a sport that is believed to have origins in Egypt. The markings on Lucario's face resemble a mask.

====Name origin====
Lucario may be derived from the reverse of ''{{wp|orichalcum}}'' (a mythical metal) or ''{{wp|oracle}}'' (referring to its supernatural abilities involving [[aura]]). It may also involve ''{{wp|Egyptian Jackal|lupaster}}'' (a subspecies of the {{wp|Golden jackal|Canis aureus}}), {{wp|Cairo, Egypt|''Cairo''}}, ''{{wp|pharaoh}}'', or ''lykos'' (Greek for ''wolf'').

'''Kiyo''' (Japanese: '''ノブヒコ''' ''Nobuhiko'') is a {{tc|Black Belt}} and the Master of [[Fighting Dojo]] who appeared in games and the anime. He is also referred to as the '''Karate Master''' in [[Generation I]], while in [[Generation II]] he is known as the '''Karate King'''.

==In the games==
Black Belt Kiyo is a leader of [[Fighting Dojo]] in [[Saffron City]]. At one point, Kiyo was the Gym Leader of Saffron City until his Gym lost official privileges as a result of a duel between himself and [[Sabrina]]. It has since become a place where he and his students train Karate. The {{player}} obtains a {{p|Hitmonlee}} or a {{p|Hitmonchan}} as a reward for beating Kiyo. Later, in [[Generation II]] and their [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver versions|remakes]], he is found training at [[Mt. Mortar]]. To reach him, the player much travel through a lengthy maze section within the mountain. Upon defeating him, Kiyo will give the player a {{p|Tyrogue}} if there is an empty slot in the party. His Karate Gym in {{ci|Saffron}} is disbanded now, but one of Kiyo's students can still be found there.

His name wasn't revealed until [[Generation II]]. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} he is misnamed '''Koichi''' (Japanese: '''タケノリ''' ''Takenori'') due to an oversight by the original Japanese producers.

Kiyo appeared as a [[character of the day]] in ''[[EP233|A Tyrogue Full of Trouble!]]''. He is a former student of [[Chuck]]'s and was in {{pkmn|training}} to compete in the [[P1 Grand Prix]]. He desired to earn the trust of an abandoned Tyrogue near [[Mt. Mortar]]. Kiyo saved Tyrogue from a rock slide and later defeated him as a human in a Pokémon {{pkmn|battle}}, earning his respect. Tyrogue and his wild Pokémon friends then joined Kiyo's team. In the anime Kiyo is not a Fighting Dojo Master, or at least it isn't mentioned.

[[File:Kiyo PM.png|thumb|Kiyo in Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]
Kiyo makes his only appearance in ''[[PM097|The Mysterious Underground Amusement Park]]''.

When the roller coaster {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} and the gang rode on got separated, it took him to an underground area containing an abandoned amusement park. When Red was about to leave, Kiyo reveals himself along with his {{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Hitmonchan}}. He tells them to stay and to try out his amusement park instead of the one above ground. Kiyo controlled the rides that the four got on but all of them malfunctioned despite their best efforts. Later, he appeared as a hallucination of a mermaid. Kiyo's underground amusement park motivated {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} into making one of his own but stole the one that was above ground.

==Trivia==
* In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black}}, there is a {{tc|Backpacker}} similarly named Kiyo (Japanese: ノブヒコ ''Nobuhiko'') in [[Black City]]. In {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}, he is located in [[Reversal Mountain]].
* Despite leaving to train, the Pokémon he uses in the Generation II and IV games are 3 levels lower than the ones he uses in the Generation I and III games.
* In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, there is another {{tc|Black Belt}} similarly named Kiyo (Japanese: タクマ ''Takuma'') in the [[Viridian Gym]]. He owns a {{p|Machoke}} instead of Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee.

'''Ludicolo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ルンパッパ''' ''Runpappa'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Grass}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Lombre}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Water Stone}}. It is the final form of {{p|Lotad}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Ludicolo is a mixture of a pineapple and a duck (or possibly a platypus). Ludicolo appears to sport a poncho and a green sombrero, which looks similar to a lily pad. It is colored yellow with black eyes and an orange bill. Its green, somewhat mitten-like hands are extremely large in comparison to other Pokémon's hands, and has two black lines of markings on its palms. There is a large, green sombrero-like feature on its head, with a short brown stem coming out of the top of it with a yellow spiky upper portion. There are several dark yellow stripes on its body and around its eyes is a patch of green. Ludicolo's legs are thick, green and sport a pattern of a black circle on the foot's underside.

====Gender differences====
A female has thinner stripes than a male.

===Special abilities===
Ludicolo can use several attacks such as {{m|Nature Power}} and {{m|Mega Drain}}. Its attacks become even more powerful if it hears festive music as its muscles are filled with energy and the particles in its body begin to move faster, amplifying its power. Ludicolo also has the power of happiness; its dancing influences other people and Pokémon to join the dance as well. As a fully-evolved Pokémon, it can use {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}.

===Behavior===
Ludicolo is happy to a fault. It dances around without a care in the world all day. If a Ludicolo hears loud, happy music, it will come running to dance along to it. It cannot resist joining in with people having a good time.

===Habitat===
Ludicolo is seen to live in the forests right next to the water. It is also said to appear near laughing children on hiking trails.
[[File:Waters-edge Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
As Ludicolo is a plant-based Pokémon, it is possible that it obtains some of its energy through photosynthesis.

==In the anime==
[[File:AG067.png|thumb|250px|Ludicolo in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Brock's Ludicolo]]====
{{an|Brock}}'s {{p|Lombre}} evolved into Ludicolo in ''[[AG105|Once in a Mawile]]''. It is currently back at [[Pewter Gym]] with [[Brock's siblings]].

====Other====
A [[Pokémon Trainer]] named {{ho|Poncho}} had a Ludicolo in ''[[AG067|Go Go Ludicolo]]''.

A trio of {{pkmn2|wild}} Ludicolo appeared in ''[[DP007|Like It or Lup It!]]''

===Minor appearances===
Ludicolo first appeared in ''[[PK12|Gotta Dance!!]]'' It kept showing up out of nowhere whenever the Poké-Baton was activated.

A Ludicolo appeared in ''[[DP139|A Faux Oak Finish!]]'' after it evolved from a Lombre when {{an|Professor Oak}} gave it a {{evostone|Water Stone}}.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Hoenn}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Shelly Ludicolo Adventures.png|thumb|[[Shelly]]'s Ludicolo in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Aqua Admin [[Shelly]] evolves her Lombre to a Ludicolo using her [[Water Stone]] whilst fighting {{adv|Sapphire}} near [[Rustboro City]]. She later uses it to overpower [[Flannery]]'s {{p|Vulpix}} using {{m|Nature Power}}.

Ludicolo later made a cameo appearance during {{chap|Emerald}}. It was one of the Pokémon {{adv|Emerald}} rented during his {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Factory}} challenge, but it was quickly traded for a different Pokémon.

At the other {{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}}, during the {{chap|Platinum}}, Ludicolo appeared alongside [[Arcade Star Dahlia]]. Due to the results of {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation IV)|Battle Arcade}}'s roulette, Dahlia swapped teams with {{adv|Platinum}}. Ludicolo's powerful Water-type moves helped the challenger defeat her own {{TP|Platinum|Rapidash}}.

==Trivia==
* Ludicolo and its pre-evolutions, {{p|Lotad}} and {{p|Lombre}}, have a [[list of Pokémon with a unique type combination|unique type combination]].
* As of [[Generation V]], no other Pokémon have the same [[Egg Group]] combination of Ludicolo's {{p|Lombre|evolutionary}} {{p|Lotad|line}}. In this case, they are included in both {{egg|Water 1}} and {{egg|Grass}} Egg Groups.
* Ludicolo's evolutionary line are very similar with {{p|Shiftry}}'s family. Both of them are part {{type|Grass}}, they first evolve at level 14, a respective [[evolutionary stone]] is used to reach the final stage, and both of them are also [[version-exclusive]] between {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. They both also gain a very small movepool by evolving to their final evolutions.

===Origin===
Ludicolo is probably based on a duck, platypus, or kappa, a Mexican dancer, and a giant colocynth or pineapple.

====Name origin====
Ludicolo may be a combination of ''ludic'' (playful in an aimless way) or ''ludicrous'' (laughable or absurd) and ''colocynth'' (a plant that bears a round, yellow and green fruit). ''Colo'' may be an anagram of ''loco'', slang for "crazy."

Runpappa may be a combination of ルンルン ''runrun'' (happy or bouncy) and ''pappa'' (the possible sound of a rapid drumbeat). It may also be a combination of ''{{wp|Rumba (dance)|rumba}}'' and ''{{wp|Kappa (folklore)|kappa}}''.

'''Lapras''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ラプラス''' ''Laplace'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ice}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
[[File:Lapras aging.png|thumb|250px|The aging process of Lapras, from child to adult]]
Lapras is a large sea creature that resembles a {{wp|plesiosaur}}. It has {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with fins|four flippers}}, however its front ones are notably larger than its hind flippers. It has a long neck, and large black eyes. Lapras has curled ear-like appendages, and a short horn in the middle of its forehead. The majority of its body is blue, while its underside is a light cream color. Its most distinguishing feature is the heavy shell on its back, which is largely dotted with blunt knobs.

====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
Lapras is most known for its fondness of {{m|Surf|moving people and Pokémon across bodies of water}}.

Lapras also possess the ability to {{m|sing}}, putting Pokémon and people to sleep. Some Lapras are able to develop {{t|Psychic}} abilities such as telepathy, such as the one belonging to [[Santa Claus]] or {{Zensho|Satoshi}}'s in [[Pokémon Zensho]].

Lapras is also able to wield {{type|Electric}} attacks, and, on rare occasions, some are able to use the {{type|Dragon}} move {{m|Dragon Pulse}}—possibly due to their likeness to the {{wp|plesiosaur}}.

Unlike most Pokémon, Lapras has the ability to learn human speech.

[[File:Santa Claus Lapras telepathy.png|thumb|200px|left|A Lapras speaking through telepathy]]
===Behavior===
Lapras are social, highly intelligent Pokémon, and they swim through the sea in large pods. They keep track of their fellow pod members through use of high-pitched songs they constantly sing, much like whales. Unfortunately they are very docile and do not like to fight, which has made them an easy target for hunters. They are currently very rare in the wild. Their songs have become very sorrowful in recent times as it has become harder and harder for these peaceful Pokémon to find others of their kind.

===Habitat===
[[File:Sea Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon}}]]
Lapras are native to the cold waters of glacial regions, but they migrate to tropical areas such as the [[Orange Archipelago]] to raise their young. They are extremely rare due to hunting, and are nearly extinct. They still exist in secluded spots in [[Johto]], the [[Sevii Islands]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Unova]], suiting their rarity and docility.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Solidad Lapras.png|right|thumb|250px|Lapras in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Lapras]]====
In ''[[EP084|The Lost Lapras]]'', Ash and {{ashfr}} saved a baby Lapras from a trio of thugs, and then again from {{TRT}}. Ash captured this Lapras and mostly used it as transportation between the islands of the [[Orange Archipelago]]. Lapras also took part in Ash's [[Gym]] battle with [[Danny]] from [[Navel Island]] to get his second [[Orange League]] [[Gym]] [[Badge]], the {{badge|Sea Ruby}}, in ''[[EP093|Navel Maneuvers]]''. It was returned to its family in ''[[EP113|Viva Las Lapras]]''. Ash's Lapras made a return appearance in ''[[EP257|Lapras of Luxury]]'' along with his herd and it was revealed to have become the leader of them.

====Other====
Lapras first appeared in ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]''. This one helped {{Ash}} and his friends reunite a {{p|Jynx}} with [[Santa Claus]]. This Lapras was able to [[talking Pokémon|talk]] via telepathy.

[[Solidad]] also owns a Lapras, which debuted in ''[[AG180|May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!]].

Lapras appeared in ''[[SS021|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - Beyond Time & Darkness]]'', taking [[Team Poképals]] across the Sea of Time.

===Minor appearances===
A Lapras appeared in a fantasy in ''[[EP050|Who Gets to Keep Togepi?]]''.

Multiple Lapras also appeared in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'' and ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]''.

A Lapras appeared in ''[[EP216|Dueling Heroes]]''.

A Lapras parent along with its child appeared in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]''.

[[Pryce]] of Mahogany Town owns multiple Lapras in ''[[EP238|Nice Pryce Baby]]''.

In ''[[SS015|Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl]]'', multiple Lapras appear when {{an|Crystal}} whistles.

In ''[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team]]'', [[Angie]] used a Lapras in the second leg of the Pokémon Triathlon.

A Lapras appeared in the beginning of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Kanto}}
{{Animedexbody|Holiday Hi-Jynx|Lapras|Ash's Pokédex|Lapras. This intellectually advanced Pokémon is able to [[Talking Pokémon|understand human speech]]. With its mild temperament, Lapras prefers to carry humans on its back, rather than engage in [[Pokémon battle]]s.}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Pryce Lapras Family Adventures.png|thumb|left|200px|Lapras as seen in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{spoilers}}
The most notable role of Lapras in [[Pokémon Adventures]] was being one of the Pokémon of [[Pryce]]. In his youth, Pryce lost two of his favorite Lapras, La Pris and La Prus, in an avalanche just as the {{pkmn|Egg}} borne by them hatched. Unable to get over his loss, Pryce swore to save his Lapras and thus began researching into time travel, setting the events of the [[Johto]] saga in motion. Eventually, Pryce was able to capture {{p|Celebi}} and enter time, only to lose Celebi as the [[Poké Ball]] containing it was shattered, causing him to be unable to override time any further. However, the baby Lapras, La Glace, was able to enter the time in which Pryce's Lapras were separated, and the family enjoyed a happy reunion while Pryce was eventually lost in time.{{endspoilers}}

Years prior, in the {{chap|Yellow}}, {{adv|Blue}} is seen capturing a wild Lapras and giving it to a kid in a flashback that dates to around the same time as {{adv|Red}}'s first fight with {{adv|Giovanni}}.

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[File:Ash Lapras EToP.png|thumb|150px|[[Ash's Lapras]] in the [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]
{{main|Ash's Lapras}}
In [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], Ash saves a Lapras from a swarm of {{p|Krabby}} tormenting it. Like in the {{pkmn|anime}}, Ash used this Lapras as a mode of transportation through the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] saga. It is not known in this version if he releases it. Misty also uses one as a mode of transportation.

===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===
{{Zensho|Satoshi}} has a Lapras which originally belonged to Sabrina and was given to him after trying to defeat Giovanni.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}} and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Sky|Explorers of Sky]]: Lapras is the Pokémon that ferries Pokémon to the [[Hidden Land]]. When {{mdc|Wigglytuff|2}} explored the [[Brine Cave]] and found the strange marking on the wall there, Lapras asked Wigglytuff not to investigate it further to keep the Hidden Land a secret. When the player and partner had to get to the Hidden Land to save the world, Lapras responded to the presence of the [[Relic Fragment]] that matched the pattern on the wall, shooting a beam into the sea, summoning Lapras. Lapras ferries the player, the partner, and Grovyle to the Hidden Land, along the way telling the story of what happened when Wigglytuff and {{mdc|Chatot|2}} came to Brine Cave. Later, after the player defeats Dialga at Temporal Tower, Lapras will be waiting at the beach and can ferry the player and the partner back to the Hidden Land again. There is no limit to how many times Lapras can do this.

==Trivia==
[[File:131Lapras RG.png|thumb|150px|right|Lapras shown with teeth in its Generation I artwork.]]
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Lapras was originally going to be called "Ness" which is derived from the {{wp|Loch Ness monster}}.
* Due to their similar appearance, {{p|Shellos}} was initially thought to be a [[baby Pokémon|pre-evolution]] of Lapras. This was eventually proven to be {{p|Gastrodon|false}}.
* Lapras is one of the few [[Generation I]] non-legendary Pokémon that have no evolutionary relatives, along with {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Kangaskhan}}, {{p|Pinsir}}, {{p|Tauros}}, {{p|Aerodactyl}}, and {{p|Ditto}}.
* Excluding all [[legendary Pokémon]], Lapras has the highest base stat total of a non-evolved Pokémon (with a grand total of 535 stat points). However, Lapras used to come second, as {{p|Snorlax}} used to hold this trait - having 5 more stat points than Lapras - until [[Generation IV]], when {{p|Munchlax}} was introduced.
* Lapras was depicted with teeth in its [[Generation I]] official artwork and in Pokémon Adventures.
* Lapras is tied with {{p|Vanilluxe}} for having the highest base stat total of all non-legendary {{type|Ice}} Pokémon.
** It also has the highest base HP of all Ice types.
* Lapras is one of two Pokémon to use telepathy in a regular episode of the anime. The other is {{p|Ralts}}.
* Along with {{p|Pikachu}}, Lapras is one of [[Veronica Taylor]]'s favorite Pokémon.

===Origin===
This {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} is based on the fabled {{wp|Loch Ness Monster}} in {{wp|Scotland}}. The creature and this Pokémon are said to resemble an extinct order of marine reptiles known as {{wp|Plesiosauria}}. However, while Lapras has a long neck, it is not nearly as long as the plesiosaurus's neck, whereas the body is very similar to the creature that is said to be in Loch Ness. Lapras's intelligence, singing and rarity can be comparable with some {{wp|cetacean}}s, especially {{wp|blue whale}}s and {{wp|humpback whale}}s. It is also possible that its long neck and head (as well as its whole body) take some inspiration from the mast heads and hulls of {{wp|Viking}} ships.

====Name origin====
Lapras is a corruption of Laplace.

Laplace may be a reference to {{wp|Pierre-Simon Laplace}}, a mathematician who wrote several books on the mathematical properties of the sea and tides, or derive from ''la place'' (French for ''seat''), referring to how passengers sit on its back like a seat to be ferried across bodies of water. It may also derived from {{wp|Lapis|lapis lazuli}}, a bright blue gem.

'''Ash's Squirtle''' (Japanese: '''サトシのゼニガメ''' ''Satoshi's Zenigame'') was {{Ash}}'s sixth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==History==
===Kanto===
[[File:Squirtle Debut.png|200px|thumb|left|Squirtle in its debut]]
Squirtle used to be the leader of a gang known as the [[Squirtle Squad]], a group of rogue Squirtle who were deserted by their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. {{MTR}} managed to befriend the Squirtle Squad by convincing them that [[Jessie]] and [[James]] were his pets. The Squirtle Squad then captured Ash, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} so they could take {{AP|Pikachu}} back to Meowth. Ash managed to convince the Squirtle Squad to let him free to get a [[Super Potion]] for Pikachu, who was badly injured after an earlier encounter with a {{p|Goldeen}}. The Squirtle Squad agreed to let Ash go to town to buy a Super Potion, but if he didn't return by noon the next day, they threatened to dye Misty's hair purple (in the original, they threatened to kill her).

[[File:Ash Squirtle bombs.png|thumb|200px|Squirtle saving Ash, after Ash had done the same]]
When Ash got back with the Super Potion, Team Rocket began bombing the Squirtle Squad after they received Pikachu. Ash, Misty and Brock ran to hide in the Squirtle Squad's cave; however, when Ash noticed that the leader was stuck on his shell, he went back to save it, shielding Squirtle's body with his own. Dazed and with more bombs en route, Ash told Squirtle to save itself. So touched by Ash's loyalty, Squirtle burst into tears, summoned enormous strength, and carried Ash to the safety of the cave. Squirtle then defeated Team Rocket with {{m|Water Gun}}. However, Team Rocket's bombs had started a forest fire, which the Squirtle Squad worked together to put out. After putting out the fire, [[Officer Jenny]] appointed the Squirtle Squad as the official fire fighters of the town. The leader of the Squirtle Squad preferred to join Ash on his journey rather than fight fires alongside his group, as it wanted to repay Ash for saving his life during the bombing. After being accepted, it happily ran into Ash's arms, as the trainer declared he had caught a Squirtle.

During its time with Ash, Squirtle became one of Ash's three most trustworthy Pokémon, next to Bulbasaur and Pikachu, and it was used very often. It was first used in battle to repel {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s aboard the St. Anne, joining a group of other Squirtle to use {{m|Water Gun}} on the Grunts. Squirtle's {{t|Water}} type and ability to swim helped Ash in a few choice circumstances, notably the escape from St. Anne in ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]''. In ''[[EP019|Tentacool & Tentacruel]]'', {{TP|Brock|Zubat}} carried Squirtle into battle with the giant {{p|Tentacruel}}, but they were easily swatted aside by a giant tentacle. In ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]'', it helped {{an|Misty}}'s Water Pokémon fight the fire at [[Celadon Gym]].
[[File:Misty Starmie Pikachu Squirtle Pokemon-athon.png|thumb|220px|left|Squirtle bearing Pikachu across the water]]
It served as Pikachu's 'steed' when the group [[EP033|competed in a race]] in Ash's place (Ash having taken [[Lara Laramie]]'s place on {{p|Ponyta}}). The two were at a significant disadvantage due to Squirtle's short legs and Pikachu's comparative weight, but in a way this helped as they managed to escape the {{p|Electrode}} {{m|Selfdestruct}}ing. They made ground when they reached the water stage, putting them in the top four with Ash, Misty and Dario. However, intervention from {{TRT}} forced a battle, and the two were put out of the running by a {{m|Glare}} attack from {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}.

In ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', Squirtle desperately tried to stop a fuse from detonating explosives, but failed and this resulted in Pikachu, Ash and Team Rocket being trapped underground with hostile Prehistoric Pokémon. Only Squirtle was rescued from the rubble by Misty and {{an|Brock}}. It then did its best to rescue its Trainer. In ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]'', it was used by Ash when Team Rocket was trying to evolve Eevee. However, it and the attack it planned to use were interrupted when {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} got in front of it and tried to use a Water Gun of its own before failing. Despite this minor delay, Squirtle was still able to use Water Gun on Team Rocket, sending the group backwards. In ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]'', it was used in an attempt to con Melvin into believing Ash was able to magically control water and fire with the use of a box, that inside contained Squirtle, Bulbasaur and Charmander. After being burned by Charmander, the three started to fight and thus, ruined the trick that Ash was pulling at the time. Though accidental, Melvin managed to gain control of Ash and snuck away with him to the [[Leaf Forest]]. Ash was commanded by Melvin to weaken the Exeggutor with his Pokemon, causing Ash to send out Squirtle, Bulbasaur and Charmander. It was used to weaken the Exeggutor as Melvin intended, shooting one in the legs with its Water Gun. After aiding Melvin and the mind-controlled Ash, it became tired and rested with Charmander and Bulbasaur as Melvin expressed enjoyment in having captured the Exeggutor and Team Rocket arrived to steal his Pokemon. Squirtle would participate in defeating the Exeguttor after they proved too much for Melvin to handle.

In ''[[EP045|The Song of Jigglypuff]]'', it was put to sleep along with the rest of the group's Pokemon by Jigglypuff. In ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', it was sent out by Ash to stop a fire set by Team Rocket after they let Meowth light a fuse. Squirtle joined Ash and Pikachu in chasing after the fuse, being chased by Team Rocket and their own Pokemon while doing so. He collides with Team Rocket, their Pokemon and Pikachu before they all fell into Ash. After the dynamite detonated, Squirtle would be the only one to escape from the rumble. He tried to aid Ash and Pikachu in getting out by digging through rocks with Brock and Misty before being joined by Geodude. It would witness their escape and Charmeleon's evolution into Charizard. Squirtle was used to weaken a {{p|Dodrio}} in ''[[EP047|A Chansey Operation]]'', where Ash ordered it to use Water Gun before being followed by Pikachu with his use of Thunderbolt. Though Ash planned to capture the Dodrio after their work, Brock reminded him that they wanted to merely helped the Pokemon. In ''[[EP053|The Purr-fect Hero]]'', Squirtle was sent out by Ash to play with a few children along with the rest of the group's Pokemon, giving one little boy a ride on it's shell.

It was used again in ''[[EP055|Pokémon Paparazzi]]'', where it used Water Gun after being ordered by Ash to shot a photographer by the name of Todd Snap before the two became acquainted. Once they were, Squirtle was sent out again along with the rest of the group's Pokemon to be photographed. In ''[[EP060|Beach Blank-Out Blastoise]]'', Squirtle was instrumental in helping rescue a colony of Squirtle, {{p|Wartortle}} and a {{p|Blastoise}} from {{an|Jigglypuff}}.

Squirtle's Gym Battle debut came late and its Kanto Gym record was two losses, the first to [[Blaine]]'s {{p|Ninetales}} in ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', who Ash believed would be disadvantaged against Squirtle. Ninetales' {{m|Fire Spin}} completely overpowered Water Gun and took Squirtle down in one hit. It was then sent out to fight the fire in ''[[EP059|Volcanic Panic]]'' to cool off {{TP|Brock|Geodude}}, {{TP|Brock|Onix}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} with water as they dammed the volcano. The second loss was against {{an|Giovanni}}'s {{p|Machamp}}, under control of [[Jessie]] in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]''. Squirtle took damage from Machamp's {{m|Karate Chop}}, leading to electric shocks blasting Ash. The battle was ended when Giovanni's Pokémon defected and Team Rocket was sent blasting off.

In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', Squirtle was used to battle [[Raymond]]'s {{p|Machamp}} and defeated it with {{m|BubbleBeam}}. On New Island, Bulbasaur and Squirtle attempted to resist capture by {{an|Mewtwo}}, using its Water Gun to keep the Balls at bay. Ash recalled both Pokémon to safety, but both were cloned when Squirtle's Ball was captured itself. Squirtle fought viciously against its clone, but found itself overwhelmed. It wept when Ash was petrified by Mewtwo and {{OBP|Mew|M01}}, its tears helping in his restoration, along with the clone created from it and the other original and clone Pokemon.

[[File:Ash Squirtle Nidorino.png|thumb|Squirtle landing the knockout blow in the second round of the Indigo League, with its signature finisher, Skull Bash]]
In ''[[EP074|All Fired Up!]]'', it bravely leapt to Ash's aid against Team Rocket by jumping on Jessie's face in an attempt to rescue the Great Torch, having already saved Team Rocket from fire. Ash relied on Squirtle to battle [[Mandi]] in ''[[EP075|Round One - Begin!]]'', but his powerful {{AP|Kingler}} took the sweep and Squirtle was unnecessary. However, it won Ash's second round by defeating a {{p|Nidorino}}, revealing its ability to use {{m|Withdraw}} to absorb the Nidorino's Tackle, and then rolled across the rocky battlefield. It rolled up a rock pillar to become airborne and hit Nidorino with Water Gun. This was followed up with Skull Bash and won the battle for Ash.

In ''[[EP079|Friend and Foe Alike]]'', Squirtle was sent out to battle [[Ritchie]]'s {{p|Butterfree}}, Happy. However, it was easily put to sleep by {{m|Sleep Powder}} and Ash lost the round. Despite his loss, Ash was honored at Pallet Town along with Gary in ''[[EP081|Pallet Party Panic]]'' for representing the town in the Indigo League and found himself in attendance, sending out Squirtle and the other Pokemon out to enjoy the food made for them. Team Rocket jinxed the food by implanting spices to make it ridiculously hot, something Squirtle noticed after having taken a bite of the food. The heat of the meal was so overbearing that it was unable to use Water Gun, instead having to be cooled down by Staryu. After defeating Team Rocket, Ash decided to go to the Orange Islands, to deliver the GS ball to Professor Ivy. Squirtle accompanied him, being used in ''[[EP082|A Scare In The Air]]'' to aid the group in getting off of the plane Team Rocket tricked them on and having a bumpy ride while landing.

===Orange Islands===
Squirtle was used more prominently in the Orange Island Gyms, first in competition against [[Cissy]]'s {{p|Seadra}} in ''[[EP085|Fit to be Tide]]''. Both Pokémon had to shoot cans with Water Gun, but when they hit the final can at the same time, the match resulted in a draw. Though it did not win, Ash still congratulated it on its admirable work.

In ''[[EP093|Naval Maneuvers]]'', it joined Bulbasaur, Pikachu and Ash in steering the ice sled down the mountain, resulting in a win for Ash. It was also sent out to battle a wild {{AP|Snorlax}} in [[EP094|the next episode]], but was flattened by Body Slam, having done completely nothing. In ''[[EP099|The Mandarin Island Mis-Match]]'', it defeated a Trainer's {{p|Persian}} with Skull Bash, but was defeated by a single {{m|Take Down}} from the Trainer's {{p|Tauros}}.
[[File:Ash_Squirtle_Hydro_Pump_Rudy_Starmie.png|thumb|220px|left|Learning Hydro Pump to overcome Rudy's Starmie]]
One of Squirtle's most notable battles and its only Gym Battle win was in ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]''. Earlier in the episode, it helped Pikachu and Bulbasaur destroy the targets, before coming out third against [[Rudy]]'s {{p|Starmie}}. Its powerful Water Gun managed to match Squirtle's, and Rudy's music allowed Starmie to dance away from Squirtle's moves and then use {{m|Thunderbolt}} to knock Squirtle into submission. With encouragement from Misty, Squirtle propelled itself away from Thunderbolt and whilst using {{m|Withdraw}}, learned {{m|Hydro Pump}} to become airborne and hit Starmie hard. Closing the battle with Skull Bash, Ash wins the battle and his third Orange Island Gym Badge.

[[File:EP106.png|thumb|220px|Fighting fires with Wartortle]]
In ''[[EP106|The Pokémon Water War!]]'', Squirtle attempted to rescue a warehouse on fire, but when the fire spread, it needed rescuing itself by [[Captain Aiden]] and Team Wartortle. This shot Squirtle's confidence as a firefighter and Ash pleaded with Aiden to allow Squirtle to train with his team for a short period. However, they fell into a Team Rocket trap and were captured, but Squirtle's thinking allowed the group to escape: they flooded the cabin to allow mobility, and then trick [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]] into cutting the nets, before blasting Team Rocket away. Squirtle then joins the effort at a burning apartment and halts the fire, saving the day.

In ''[[EP111|Hello, Pummelo!]]'', Squirtle was sent against {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}}'s Onix, who managed to evade Water Gun with {{m|Dig}}, and then caught Squirtle with {{m|Bind}}. However, Squirtle broke free with a Withdraw/Hydro Pump combination, then hit Onix with Skull Bash to knock it out. In [[EP112|the next episode]], it fought {{TP|Drake|Dragonite}}, only for its Hydro Pump to be countered by Dragonite's Water Gun. Squirtle was able to use Withdraw in time to evade most of the following {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but was still badly hurt. Squirtle used {{m|BubbleBeam}} to hit Dragonite dead-on, but this was the only successful attack and it was beaten by a slam from Dragonite's tail. Pikachu went on to defeat the exhausted Dragonite and Squirtle earned a place in the Orange Islands Hall of Fame.

===Johto===
Squirtle accompanied Ash to Johto as well, the final time it would serve as a permanent member of his team. In ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'dile]]'', Squirtle was used against Team Rocket with Bulbasaur, Pikachu and Charizard. Combining it's Water Gun with their attacks, it fired directly on Team Rocket's Pokemon. In ''[[EP118|The Double Trouble Header]]'', it was sent out to battle against Team Rocket along with Bulbasaur after they captured Pikachu and [[Casey's Meganium|Chikorita]]. During it's time with him, it and Bulbasaur showed concern for him on occasions, such as when Ash, Pikachu and his soon to be caught Chikorita were lost in a snowstorm in ''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue]].'' In ''[[EP127|Once in a Blue Moon]]'', a Quagsire stole the [[GS Ball]] and swam away. Ash tried to run after it, but ended up sending out Squirtle to chase it down. After failing to wrestle it out of the Quagsire's mouth, Squirtle used Water Gun, causing the GS Ball it slips out of Quagsire's mouth, and allowing Pikachu to catch it on the shore. While both Quagsire and Squirtle were using Water Gun against each other, Misty tried once again to catch it, but before throwing the Poké Ball, Officer Jenny stopped them and arrested them for violating the Quagsire Preservation Restrictions. Squirtle would again be used in ''[[EP129|Ignorance is Blissey]]'', where it was deployed with [[Ash's Bayleef|Chikorita]] to retrieve some food that Team Rocket had stolen. It used Water Gun on Jessie, James and Meowth while Ash's other Pokemon attacked their Pokemon.

[[File:Ash Squirtle Bulbasaur.png|thumb|220px|Bulbasaur and Squirtle]]
During Ash's travels in Johto, it competed in an event called the [[Fire and Rescue Grand Prix]], a firefighting competition for water Pokémon. As luck would have it, one of the teams was the Squirtle Squad, but they were confused without their leader. Ash's Squirtle led the Squirtle Squad to win the Grand Prix, and at the end of the episode Squirtle returned to the Squirtle Squad because Ash felt that the old gang needed Squirtle more than he did. It said goodbye to its friends and Bulbasaur extends a {{m|Vine Whip|vine}} to its long-time friend, shaking solemnly.

It returned briefly to [[EP267|battle in the]] [[Silver Conference]], after {{AP|Kingler}} was badly injured by a group of renegade {{p|Voltorb}}. It joined {{AP|Totodile}} and {{AP|Phanpy}} against the {{type|Fire}} trainer [[Macy]]. It was Ash's last Pokémon, faced with an advantaged {{p|Electabuzz}}. However, Squirtle proved much faster and managed to hit Electabuzz with a series of Water Guns before it could launch any {{type|Electric}} moves. A Skull Bash was enough to knock out Electabuzz and even up the match for Ash, leaving just {{p|Quilava}} left. Squirtle used an explosion of moves to cover a stealthy Water Gun, but was hit and knocked on its back by Quilava. As Macy went in for the knock out, Squirtle used Hydro Pump to hit Quilava with water and its own body, sealing victory for Ash.

In [[EP268|the next episode]], Squirtle and Bulbasaur rekindle their friendship, but Squirtle starts a fight with [[Jackson]]'s {{p|Azumarill}} and {{TP|Jackson|Meganium}}. Bulbasaur attempts to restrain its hotheaded companion, but ends up becoming angry at Meganium and Azumarill when they play dirty and trip it over. Squirtle stayed around to watch Ash's Silver Conference battles, and then left in ''[[EP272|Johto Photo Finish!]]''

===Hoenn===
While Squirtle made no appearances during the Hoenn arc of the [[Advanced Generation series]], it did make an appearance, along with the rest of the [[Squirtle Squad]], in ''[[SS007|Of Meowth and Pokémon (Part 2)]]''. Squirtle and two other members of the Squirtle Squad ambushed [[Pichu Brothers#Smoochum|Smoochum]] and attacked her with a {{m|Water Gun}}, sending her flying.

===Kanto Battle Frontier===
[[File:Ash and Squirtle.png|thumb|200px|Ash and Squirtle]]
Squirtle can be called upon at any time. In ''[[AG189|Gathering the Gang of Four!]]'', it returned to help Ash with his final battle against {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}, meeting {{TP|May|May's Squirtle|Wartortle}}. It expressed happiness in seeing Bulbasaur and Pikachu again and departed with the two, Ash and Charizard for the woods. Though tension between the group started to erupt, they settled their differences and sat as Ash recalled his meetings with the four of them. After Pikachu was captured by Team Rocket, Squirtle participated in saving his teammate with the others. In ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]'', it took on Brandon's {{p|Ninjask}}. Squirtle's {{m|Rapid Spin}} deflected {{m|Aerial Ace}}, but Ninjask gained the upper hand by stalling Squirtle with Double Team and hitting with Aerial Ace whilst Squirtle blasted through the afterimages. Squirtle managed to escape {{m|Sandstorm}} with Hydro Pump, but is blinded by {{m|Sand-Attack}} to the eyes, leaving it exposed to Ninjask's attacks. It listens for Ninjask, but Hydro Pump misses. However, the water clears Squirtle's eyes and it Skull Bashes Ninjask dead-on, knocking it out of the battle.

{{p|Solrock}} came out next, but Squirtle's moves were all dodged or blocked by Psychic moves. A missed Rapid Spin saw Squirtle crash into the wall, and it was flattened by {{m|SolarBeam}}, causing it to lose the match. After the battle was won, Squirtle returned to the Squirtle Squad, where it still remains.

===Best Wishes series===
Squirtle appeared in a flashback in ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]''.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Squirtle Squad.png|200px|thumb|left|Squirtle and the Squirtle Squad]]
{{bulbanews|Personality & Development: Ash's Squirtle}}
Squirtle is one of Ash's most trustworthy Pokémon, but is by no means perfect. Compared especially with its closest friend, the very serious {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, it comes across as immature and mischievous, particularly during its time with the [[Squirtle Squad]] where it led the team to commit various pranks and so on, and how it embarrassed itself trying to intimidate a {{p|Snubbull}} in [[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]. However, through its travels with Ash it matured considerably, and its behaviour when it reunited with its Squad later on had a noticeable difference.

Mature or not, Squirtle is shown to be a born leader and prefers to wear sunglasses occasionally, donning them when investigating {{an|Jigglypuff}}'s presence on the island in ''[[EP060|Beach Blank-Out Blastoise]]'' and when it competed against [[Team Wartortle]] to prove itself, its fire-fighting spirit hurt by its inability to put out the fire that Team Wartortle had extinguished.

==In the manga==
===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[File:Ash Squirtle EToP.png|thumb|right|Ash's Squirtle in the Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
[[Ash Ketchum (EToP)|Ash]] owns a Squirtle in the {{pkmn|manga}} series [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. It first appears in the chapter ''[[ET08|You Gotta Have Friends]]'', though its capture is not shown, it is merely stated that "Ash has been busy since the last comic". Squirtle is first seen when a lonely Ash decides to play with his other Pokémon while Pikachu is off playing another group of Pikachu. Squirtle gets into a fight with {{AP|Fearow}} while Ash is attacked by his other two Pokémon.

Squirtle was used in the second round of the 88th Pokémon League tournament and helped win the second round. In the fifth round, Squirtle was used to battle [[Ritchie]]'s {{p|Butterfree|Happy}}. The two fought hard but the match ended in a tie when Happy was knocked out and Squirtle was put to sleep.

In ''[[ET14|The Orange Islands]]'', Squirtle was used to drive away a group of wild {{p|Krabby}} that were terrorizing a wild {{AP|Lapras}}.

Squirtle appeared again in ''[[ET16|You Bet Your Wife]]'' where Ash decided to use it in a dance competition in his Gym battle against [[Rudy]]. Squirtle simply retreated into its shell and rolled around to dance. Later, it was used to battle Rudy's {{p|Starmie}} in the third round of their three-on-three battle. Despite Starmie having powerful {{type|Electric}} attacks and the ability to latch onto Squirtle tightly, Squirtle managed to turn the battle around by tossing Starmie off with {{m|Hydro Pump}} and finishing it off with {{m|Skull Bash}}, winning the match for Ash in the process.

In ''[[ET19|Ash vs. Gary]]'', Squirtle was used to send a Poké Ball flying towards a {{p|Slowpoke}} that Ash and Gary were competing to capture. Squirtle's Hydro Pump proved successful, allowing Ash to capture the Slowpoke first.

==Trivia==
* Ash originally wanted a Squirtle as his [[starter Pokémon]], but Professor Oak told him it was taken by a [[Gary Oak|Trainer who was not late]].
* Squirtle is the only member of Ash's original team of six ({{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Butterfree}}, {{AP|Pidgeot}}, {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Charizard}}, and itself) to neither [[Evolution|evolve]] nor indicate any refusal to.
* Squirtle is the first of Ash's Pokémon to have been being placed in a [[Poké Ball]] off-screen, the other being {{AP|Lapras}}.
* Despite being one of Ash's main battling Pokémon, it was only used in three gym battles, two of which it lost in one hit.
* Squirtle's Skull Bash, similar to Charizard's Seismic Toss, appears to be its trademark finishing move, using it to finish nearly every major battle it has fought in.
* Squirtle's gender was hinted at in the Japanese version of ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]''. In the subtitles, it refers to itself as おれ ''{{wp|Japanese pronouns|ore}}'', which is a pronoun normally used by males, also used by characters such as {{Ash}}, {{an|Brock}} and [[James]] in the Japanese version.
* Squirtle is the first Pokémon belonging to Ash to have a signature item. The others are {{AP|Sceptile}} and {{AP|Krookodile}}.
** Both Squirtle and Krookodile's are sunglasses.
** Unlike the other two, Squirtle is not always seen with its item.
* Squirtle is the only Pokémon that Ash has that has a job.

Nuckles123: /* Goat? More like a deer. */

== Name origin ==
What do you guys think of the name coming from 轟轟 (gōgō), which means rumbling?[[User:KurowaSan|KurowaSan]] ([[User talk:KurowaSan|talk]]) 07:15, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
: I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be "Gogoat". [[User:JacobTheDoduo|JacobtheDoduo]] ([[User talk:JacobTheDoduo|talk]]) 17:22, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
::There is nothing confirming that. We do not assume romanizations. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 17:30, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

== Horn Leech ==

Is it worth mentioning that its signature move is [[Horn Leech]]? [[User:MasterZ|MasterZ]] ([[User talk:MasterZ|talk]]) 23:03, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
:{{p|Sawsbuck|It's not...}}--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 23:24, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

So many Grass types learn Horn Leech. True, GoGoat/Gogoto was released with an animation of Horn Leech, but other Pokémon learn it.[[User:152105|152105]] ([[User talk:152105|talk]]) 20:56, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
:What are you talking about? Only Sawsbuck can learn it prior to X and Y. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 21:07, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

== About the german/french name origin ==
I have no idea what che- means (maybe from {{wp|Chevrolet}} lol), but I'm pretty sure that -vrumm/-vroum comes from the sound that a car makes when the engine is revving. (probably referencing the riding part) [[User:Raykyogrou0|Raykyogrou0]] ''([[User talk:Raykyogrou0|Talk]])'' 05:45, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
: I believe that chev- comes form "chèvre", french word for "goat". {{unsigned|Toback}}
::The -vrumm/-vroum also relates to the 轟轟 (gōgō) in japanese, which is the onomatopoeia for "engine sounds".[[User:KurowaSan|KurowaSan]] ([[User talk:KurowaSan|talk]]) 04:18, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

== Goat? More like a deer. ==

Looks like t would be related to the Tragelaphus family with the Kudu, Bushbuck, & Nyala. {{unsigned|Likalaruku}}
:It clearly looks like a goat. Not to mention its name is Go'''goat'''. [[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 07:28, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
::Yeah I agree with Jo. A member of the Tragelaphus family has either straight horns or horns with a spiral to them. The horns of Gogoat are more indicative of a goat which grow backwards at a curve. [[User:Nuckles123|Nuckles123]] ([[User talk:Nuckles123|talk]]) 17:21, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
:::Animal type Pokemon are usually a blend of different animals, but I suppose the Markhor goat does look very similar to the Greater Kudu antelope. {{unsigned|Likalaruku}}
::::Yeah but Gogoat is not based off a Markhor goat. More likely it is based off one of the more common breeds of farm goats (based off the horns).[[User:Nuckles123|Nuckles123]] ([[User talk:Nuckles123|talk]]) 21:13, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
It seems to draw inspiration from both Goats and Rams. While goats and the sheep family are related, Goats are hairy and sheep are wooly. Its clearly giving off a wooly look with its grassy mane ruff and bushy (no pun intended) tail, but like a true goat, its tail sticks up. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 00:20, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
: I agree with you on that point, but it certainly wasn't designed after a deer. [[User:Nuckles123|Nuckles123]] ([[User talk:Nuckles123|talk]]) 04:48, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

'''Ash's Bulbasaur''' (Japanese: '''サトシのフシギダネ''' ''Satoshi's Fushigidane'') was the fourth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} caught by {{Ash}} during his travels through [[Kanto]], and the first of the original [[starter Pokémon]] that Ash acquired.

==History==
===Kanto===
[[File:EP010.png|thumb|200px|left|Bulbasaur in its debut]]
Bulbasaur was a Pokémon Ash always wanted to catch, as explained in ''[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]].'' When Misty tried to capture a wild {{p|Oddish}}, Bulbasaur rushed to Oddish's aid, easily defeating both {{TP|Misty|Starmie}} with {{m|Tackle}} and {{AP|Butterfree}} by blowing his own {{m|Sleep Powder}} back onto it. Later, it was revealed that Bulbasaur was raised in the [[Hidden Village]] by [[Melanie]], who cared for sick, injured, and abandoned Pokémon. It acted as the village's bodyguard, and was blatantly hostile to all Trainers, going so far as to physically attack Misty.

Later, {{TRT}} attacked the Village and attempted to steal all of the Pokémon with an enormous vacuum. Bulbasaur managed to save Oddish at the last second, and was touched when Ash dashed out to help him get to safety. It then used {{m|Vine Whip}} to deflect the vacuum and {{AP|Pidgeotto}} drove Team Rocket away. Melanie encouraged Bulbasaur to join Ash, explaining that its growth was being stunted by staying too long in the village. Bulbasaur agreed to join him once Ash defeated it in battle. Bulbasaur put up an excellent fight against Pikachu, using its vines to seize and smash Pikachu onto the ground repeatedly. However, a powerful {{m|Thunderbolt}} fried Bulbasaur and stunned it long enough for Ash to capture it.

It was first used in a battle to repel {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s aboard the St. Anne, joining a group of other Bulbasaur to use Vine Whip on the Grunts. Its vines were also used to help the gang and Team Rocket escape from the ship. In ''[[EP019|Tentacool & Tentacruel]]'', {{AP|Butterfree}} carried Bulbasaur into battle with the giant {{p|Tentacruel}}, but it was easily swatted aside by a giant tentacle.

Its Gym battle debut occurred in ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]'', where it fought [[Erika]]'s {{p|Tangela}}. It attempted to use Vine Whip, but Tangela used {{m|Constrict}} to pull it in close and defeated it with {{m|Stun Spore}}. It then fought [[Koga]]'s sister, {{an|Aya}} in ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]'', defeating her {{p|Venonat}} by {{m|Whirlwind|blowing away}} Stun Spore and then striking it with a newly learned {{m|Leech Seed}}. In ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]'', Bulbasaur was called out by Ash to defeat [[Duplica's Ditto]] by using {{m|Razor Leaf}}, however, it was defeated by Ditto after it transformed into Bulbasaur and used Vine Whip on Bulbasaur, knocking it out.

In ''[[EP050|Who Gets To Keep Togepi?]]'', it fought for Ash in the tournament to decide who gets to keep {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}, easily defeating Misty's unintentional entrant {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} by licking and tickling it. However, the win meant nothing as Togepi chose Misty anyway.
[[File:Ash Bulbasaur fight evolution.png|220px|thumb|Ash's Bulbasaur resisting evolution]]
Bulbasaur had the opportunity to [[Evolution|evolve]] after battling a powerful {{p|Rhyhorn}} with a very strong {{m|Take Down}} attack in ''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]'', but refused to do so despite facing a mass of {{p|Ivysaur}} as well as a {{p|Venusaur}} who were angry at it for ruining the Bulbasaur evolutionary festival. This allowed it to learn the powerful {{m|SolarBeam}} technique earlier than if it had evolved. It used the new attack on Team Rocket after they invaded the ceremony on their rocket balloon and freed the Ivysaur that had been captured by the villainous trio. After being told by it's trainer that it had done great, Venusaur agreed with Ash and extended a vine to Bulbasaur as a matter of respect. It would follow in the footsteps set by Venusaur and do the same before leaving the garden with Ash and the others, having made amends with the Ivysaur and Venusar.

In ''[[EP052|Princess vs Princess]]'', Bulbasaur, along with {{AP|Pikachu}} and [[Brock's Vulpix]], was briefly lent to {{an|Misty}} to allow her to compete in the [[Princess Day]] Festival with a more balanced team, Bulbasaur single-handedly let Misty have her first win by defeating a {{p|Kingler}}, {{p|Pinsir}}, {{p|Cubone}} and {{p|Raticate}} on its own. It was called out in the final to battle [[Jessie]] on advice from Ash, but its ranged vines were tied by {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}}'s huge tongue and defeated with {{m|Lick}}.

In ''[[EP063|Battle for the Badge!]]'', Bulbasaur was sent out to fight Team Rocket, who were fighting in {{an|Giovanni}}'s stead in the Viridian Gym. Despite the type advantage, Bulbasaur was hit hard by {{p|Kingler}}, who blocked Vine Whip with {{m|Harden}} and then hit back with {{m|Bubble}}.

In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', Bulbasaur was used to battle [[Raymond]]'s {{p|Donphan}}. It was hit by two successive {{m|Rollout}}s, but when launched into the air, it was able to flatten Donphan with SolarBeam. On [[New Island]], Bulbasaur and Squirtle attempted to resist capture by {{an|Mewtwo}}, using its vines to keep the Balls at bay. Ash recalled both Pokémon to safety, but both were cloned when Bulbasaur's Ball was captured itself. Bulbasaur fought viciously against its clone, but was the underdog, its clone able to headbutt it over and over. It wept when Ash was petrified by Mewtwo and [[Mew (M01)|Mew]], its tears helping in his restoration.

It had only one battle in the [[Indigo League]], in ''[[EP077|The Fourth Round Rumble]]'' against [[Jeanette Fisher]]. After an initial trouble with {{p|Beedrill}}'s speed, Bulbasaur crippled the Poison Bee Pokémon with Leech Seed and then defeating it with Tackle. {{p|Scyther}}'s speed and {{m|Double Team}} produces similar trouble for Ash, until Bulbasaur uses Vine Whip to hit every single clone until it knocks out the real Scyther. Looking set to sweep the match with just Bulbasaur, Ash then took on her {{p|Bellsprout}}. Bulbasaur used Tackle, but Bellsprout flexed its body and absorbed the blow, before seizing Bulbasaur and slamming it onto the ground until it fainted.

Its bond with Ash's Pikachu was shown for real in ''[[EP078|A Friend in Deed]]'', where Pikachu was able to detect Bulbasaur's Poké Ball amongst hundreds of stolen Balls.

===Orange Islands===
It accompanied Ash to the Orange Islands and was used in Ash's second Gym challenge against [[Danny]] in ''[[EP093|Navel Maneuvers]]''. It attempted to help Pikachu carve a frozen geyser into an ice sled, but was unable to keep up with Danny's team until {{AP|Charizard}} completed it in a few short {{m|Flamethrower}}s. It then helped Ash, Pikachu and Squirtle in the race down the cliff, using its vines to steer.

In ''[[EP102|The Mystery Menace]]'', Bulbasaur was kidnapped by a giant vined creature in the sewers of [[Trovitopolis]]. Ash was so upset by this that Misty and Tracey had to both physically restrain him from diving into the water after it and then tie him up so that [[Officer Jenny]] could rescue them. Ash kicked and screamed the entire time. With help from {{AP|Muk}}, he rescued Bulbasaur and its captor, a mutated giant Bulbasaur that had been abandoned by the town's mayor.

In ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]'', Bulbasaur is used in the {{type|Grass}} round of the Gym battle for the Spike Shell Badge. It fought against [[Rudy]]'s {{p|Exeggutor}}, who dodged {{m|Razor Leaf}} and knocked Bulbasaur down with {{m|Egg Bomb}}. Bulbasaur quickly saved the battle by putting Exeggutor to sleep with Sleep Powder. Bulbasaur was on Ash's team to fight {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}} for the Orange League championship in ''[[EP112|Enter the Dragonite]]''. It managed to land a few blows on Drake's {{p|Electabuzz}}, but was defeated by a {{m|ThunderPunch}}. Drake was eventually defeated and Bulbasaur joined the rest of the team in the Hall of Fame.

===Johto===
[[File:EP225.png|thumb|left|220px|Bulbasaur the ambassador]]
Bulbasaur joined Ash in Johto, where it first met {{AP|Heracross}} in ''[[EP119|A Sappy Ending]]''. This began the recurring joke of Heracross wanting to suck the pollen from Bulbasaur's bulb. Throughout the Johto journeys, Bulbasaur's oldest team members {{AP|Charizard}} and {{AP|Squirtle}} both went into training with others, leaving Bulbasaur as Ash's only remaining Kanto starter. In ''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue]]'', Bulbasaur was used to battle against a {{p|Chikorita}} that Ash had interest in catching. It was recalled after being hurt by the small Grass-type Pokémon and was congratulated by Ash for its effort. Bulbasaur was used in ''[[EP136|Chikorita's Big Upset]]'', where Ash ordered it to find Chikorita. It would again be irritated by Heracross, who after getting deployed by Ash against Team Rocket, wasted no time in trying to suck the pollen out of Bulbasaur's bulb. Bulbasaur scolded it's teammate and hit Heracross with it's vines.

It bid a solemn farewell to Squirtle in ''[[EP147|The Fire-ing Squad!]]''. Bulbasaur fought for Ash against Misty for the second time in ''[[EP151|The Totodile Duel]]''. It seemingly defeated {{TP|Misty|Poliwag}} with a Razor Leaf, but Poliwag evolved into {{p|Poliwhirl}} and fought back with a powerful {{m|Body Slam}}. After taking damage from Bubble, Bulbasaur flattened Poliwhirl with SolarBeam, winning the match for Ash. It also had a rematch with {{an|Aya}} in ''[[EP176|Ariados, Amigos!]]'', using {{m|Body Slam}} to defeat Venonat from above. In ''[[EP178|The Grass Route]]'', Bulbasaur was entered in the 45th annual [[Grass Tournament]], reaching the finals after Team Rocket was disqualified for dressing {{MTR}} up as a {{p|Sunflora}}. Bulbasaur looked set to win the final, but [[Ephraim]]'s {{p|Skiploom}} learned SolarBeam and won the tournament.

In ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]'', he was defeated by {{mov|Lisa}}'s Butterfree's Sleep Powder, despite having been able to resist Ash's Butterfree using the same tactic in its debut. It helped Ash and his friends break into the mansion by using its vines as ropes for climbing.

Bulbasaur remained with Ash until ''[[EP225|Bulbasaur... the Ambassador!]]'', when it was sent back to {{an|Professor Oak}}'s lab to keep the Pokémon there from quarreling with each other. It proved to be a natural leader, first solving the territorial disputes between the warring {{p|Bellossom}} and {{p|Jumpluff}} factions, and the {{type|Grass}} and {{type|Water}} Pokémon by ordering and leading the construction of a new lake. It came very close to peril when it saved an Oddish from an enormous falling boulder, but revealed that it had learned {{m|Dig}} just in time to save itself. Oak remarked to {{Tracey}} that Bulbasaur was a perfect example of a Pokémon being able to call on powers unheard of in extreme situations. After resolving this dispute, Ash and Oak agreed to allow Bulbasaur to reside at Oak's lab for an indefinite period, finally rotating it out of his team.

It was called on in ''[[EP268|Tie One On!]]'', where it fought in the [[Silver Conference]] against [[Jackson]]'s {{Shiny}} {{p|Magneton}}. It quickly learned from Pikachu and {{AP|Cyndaquil}}'s mistakes, instead using a spinning Vine Whip to mow through the afterimages from Double Team. It blocked Magneton's attacks with Razor Leaf and Vine Whip, before taking it down with Leech Seed and Vine Whip. It then took on his {{TP|Vincent|Meganium}}, with whom it had a bitter rivalry after the Herb Pokémon had mocked it earlier. Neither Pokémon attempted to dodge the other's attacks, both willing to be able to take as much as the other. It came down to a battle of Vine Whips and a double SolarBeam, which knocked out both Pokémon.

Bulbasaur later returned in ''[[AG074|Hokey Poké Balls!]]'' to meet [[May's Venusaur|May's Bulbasaur]]. The two struck up a good [[VineShipping|friendship]], eventually resulting in May choosing to leave her Bulbasaur at Oak's lab in ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'' so she could learn from Ash's.

Bulbasaur was seen in ''[[SS004|Showdown at the Oak Corral]]'', and was one of the first Pokémon to realize there was something wrong. It later defeated [[Butch's Hitmontop]] and used a SolarBeam on the whole group.

===Kanto Battle Frontier===
[[File:Ash and Bulbasaur.png|200px|thumb|Ash and Bulbasaur]]
In ''[[AG189|Gathering the Gang of Four!]]'', Ash brought it to his team alongside {{AP|Charizard}} and {{AP|Squirtle}} to battle {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}} at the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Pyramid}}. After Brandon's {{p|Dusclops}} took down Charizard, Ash's Bulbasaur was sent out to fight in [[AG190|the next episode]]. It took damage from the powerful Dusclops, including a {{m|Confuse Ray}} which sent the vines out of control and caused them to attack Bulbasaur and Ash. Bulbasaur responded to Ash's cries and broke out of confusion, leaping into the air and taking down Dusclops with SolarBeam. After {{p|Solrock}} took down Squirtle, Bulbasaur was sent back out. After taking damage from {{type|Psychic}} moves and responding with Razor Leaf and Vine Whip, a double SolarBeam knocked both Pokémon out. After Ash won, Bulbasaur returned to Professor Oak's Laboratory.

===Diamond & Pearl series===
Bulbasaur made a cameo in ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'' at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], where {{AP|Heracross}} was sucking sap from its bulb, much to Bulbasaur's annoyance. It used Vine Whip to shove Heracross away. Bulbasaur was not called upon for the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]].

===Best Wishes series===
Bulbasaur appeared in a flashback in ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]''.

==Personality and characteristics==
{{bulbanews|Personality & Development: Ash's Bulbasaur}}
[[File:Heracross sap.png|thumb|250px|left|Heracross eating Bulbasaur's sap]]
[[File:Ash Bulbasaur illusion Venusaur.png|thumb|200px|Ash's Bulbasaur terrified of a giant illusionary Venusaur]]
Bulbasaur is one of Ash's most mature Pokémon, and is frequently viewed as the responsible leader of Ash's Pokémon, especially due to its actions at both Melanie's Hidden Village and Professor Oak's lab. In ''[[EP193|Sick Daze]]'', it showed that it had learned from its experiences by recognizing a trap that Ash's Johto starters could not.

Unlike its closest friend, the boisterous and immature {{AP|Squirtle}}, Bulbasaur was cautious bordering on cynical of all Trainers when it joined Ash's team, going so far as to physically attack {{an|Misty}} when it thought she was trying to take an Oddish away. In ''[[EP017|Island of Giant Pokémon]]'', it alone assumed that Ash had abandoned them. Its views on Trainers were presumably colored by all the abandoned Pokémon in the [[Hidden Village]]. Over time, Bulbasaur grew to trust its new Trainer, but it retained a stubborn, surly, and eager-to-battle demeanor. For example, in ''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]'', it dodged Ash's call to return and insisted on finishing the battle. This hard personality was briefly softened during a visit to a garden full of exotic plants run by [[Florinda Showers]], where Bulbasaur developed a certain affection for her {{p|Gloom}}, but nothing apparently came of it.

Although Bulbasaur is one of Ash's most mature Pokémon, it has succumb to fits of immaturity when Squirtle is involved. This is seen multiple times in disagreements or quarrels between the two. In ''[[PK02|Christmas Night]]'', after Squirtle accidentally eats Bulbasaur's Bulbasaur-shaped cookie, despite being apologetic, Bulbasaur still chases and attacks Squirtle. In ''[[PK03|Kanga Games]]'', Pikachu, Togepi and a baby Kangaskhan ride past Bulbasaur and Squirtle on a sled. Eager to join in, Bulbasaur flips Squirtle onto its back and uses Squirtle as an involuntary makeshift sled.

Its biggest fear appears to be of its fully evolved form, {{p|Venusaur}}, demonstrated in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'' and ''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]'', both times where it was paralyzed in fear by fake Venusaur. Interestingly enough, it defied the wishes of the first real Venusaur it encountered, demonstrating that Bulbasaur is a courageous Pokémon when standing up for something it believes in.

==In the manga==
===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[File:Ash Bulbasaur EToP.png|thumb|Ash's Bulbasaur in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]
[[Ash Ketchum (EToP)|Ash]]'s Bulbasaur makes an appearance in the manga series [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. It first appears in the eighth chapter, ''[[ET08|You Gotta Have Friends]]''. Bulbasaur's capture is not depicted in the manga; it is simply stated when Bulbasaur appears out of its [[Poké Ball]] that "Ash has been busy since the last comic."

When on a walk with {{AP|Pikachu}} in ''[[ET09|I'm Your Venusaur]]'', Bulbasaur meets many other Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, and Venusaur. It learns of a local legend stating that a tree in the town was made from the guardian spirit of a 300-year-old Venusaur. Disbelieving the legend, Bulbasaur, Pikachu and a wild Ivysaur climb the tree and search for it. In this chapter, when the Pokémon dialogue is translated for readers, Bulbasaur states that Ash "uses me in battle all the time".

In ''[[ET10|Clefairy in Space]]'', Bulbasaur is used against Team Rocket and ties up Jessie with its {{m|Vine Whip}}.

In ''[[ET12|Welcome to the Big Leagues]]'', Bulbasaur faced off against Jeanette Fisher's {{p|Beedrill}} and {{p|Bellsprout}}. After defeating Beedrill, Bulbasaur was defeated by a powerful {{m|Slam}} attack from Bellsprout.

In ''[[ET15|Attack of the Demon Stomach]]'', Bulbasaur was used to stop a hungry {{p|Snorlax}} from eating all of the fruit on the [[Seven Grapefruit Islands]]. Its first few attacks had no effect; later, Bulbasaur saved Ash from being eaten with its Vine Whip.

Bulbasaur appeared again in ''[[ET16|You Bet Your Wife]]'' where Ash decided to use it in a dance competition in his Gym battle against [[Rudy]]. Bulbasaur wiggled a little while swinging its vines around to dance. Later, it was used to battle Rudy's {{p|Exeggutor}} in the second round of their three-on-three battle. Due to Exeggutor's terrifying face, Bulbasaur was paralyzed with fear, unable to attack. Luckily it managed to use Sleep Powder to put Exeggutor to sleep, allowing Bulbasaur to win the match; afterwards, Bulbasaur cried in Ash's arms.

==Trivia==
* Its gender was hinted at in the Japanese version of ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]''. In the subtitles, it refers to itself as おれ ''{{wp|Japanese pronouns|ore}}'', which is a pronoun normally used by males, which is also used by characters such as {{Ash}}, {{an|Brock}} and [[James]] in the Japanese version.
** In the dub of ''[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]]'', it was implied by Ash that Bulbasaur is male. When Melanie asked Ash if Bulbasaur would make a good addition to his team, Ash said "Would ''he'' ever," implying that it is male.
* Bulbasaur is Ash's only Pokémon who refused to [[Evolution|evolve]] after the process began.
* In ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]'', Bulbasaur sings a song called "Bulbasaur's Bulbaby" in order to keep Togepi happy. [[Pokédex|Dexter]] reports this as the first recording of the song.
* Bulbasaur, after {{AP|Pikachu}}, is the Pokémon Ash has owned for the longest time period. It is the only member of Ash's original team, again besides Pikachu, to remain in his care, and the only one to reside at Oak's lab.

===Move-related trivia===
[[File:Ash Bulbasaur Whirlwind.png|200px|thumb|Bulbasaur using {{m|Whirlwind}}]]
* Ash's Bulbasaur has used [[Anime move errors|moves that it cannot learn in the games]].
** Bulbasaur used {{m|Whirlwind}} in his debut to battle {{AP|Butterfree}} and later in ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]'', and has not used it since. This may have been a dubbing error as Whirlwind's Japanese name is '''ふきとばし''' ''Blow Away''. Ash may have just told Bulbasaur to simply "blow it away" in the Japanese version rather than commanding the actual move.
** In ''[[EP050|Who Gets To Keep Togepi?]]'', Bulbasaur used {{m|Lick}} and {{m|Tickle}} on {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}}, however Tickle was not an attack until [[Generation III]]. Also, Ash's exact words were "Bulbasaur, go lick Psyduck on the head!" and "Now use the tickle attack!", at which Bulbasaur then runs up and licks Psyduck on the head and then uses his vines to tickle Psyduck from a distance.
** Bulbasaur has also used {{m|Dig}} in ''[[EP225|Bulbasaur...the Ambassador!]]''. {{Tracey}} remarked that Bulbasaur cannot usually learn Dig, but Professor Oak told him it was able to use it because it was in a crisis.

'') is the 114th episode of the {{series|Best Wishes}}, and the 771st episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It first aired in Japan on February 21, 2013 and in the United States on May 25, 2013.
{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
The episode begins with two {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt|Plasma Grunts}}, [[Schwarz and Weiss]] driving a truck at night when they encounter a roadblock. As they move the barricades out of the way, {{an|N}} sneaks behind the truck and places a small device that unlocks the truck's back door. Upon opening the doors N finds a caged {{p|Braviary}} with an injured wing. He frees it and they attempt to get away. However, the grunts see him and they send out {{p|Seviper}} and {{p|Zangoose}} to stop him with {{m|Bite}} and {{m|Scratch}}, respectively. N manages to block the attacks, saving Braviary, but they fall off the cliff in the process. N and Braviary run away, but Schwarz and Weiss have a tracking device on Braviary's neck that will pinpoint its location.

Meanwhile, {{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}} are still on their journey to the [[White Ruins]]. Ash and Iris are anxious to get some rest and food. Cilan assures them there's a [[Pokémon Center]] nearby. Suddenly, N and Braviary run out of the forest in front of them and collapse from their injuries. N tells then that Braviary's wing is injured and the group takes them to the nearby Pokémon Center. [[Nurse Joy]] tends to Braviary's injuries and mentions that Braviary will be temporarily unable to fly until they are healed. N thanks her for help and comforts Braviary. Ash scans Braviary with his Pokédex and asks N what happened. N states that Braviary got captured by [[Team Plasma]], in which Ash, Iris and Cilan exclaim that they encountered Team Plasma when they were using EM Waves to control Pokémon. N states that his mission is to liberate all the Pokémon under Team Plasma's control. The group propose to help N, but he tells them that the mission is his alone.

Schwarz and Weiss track Braviary to the Pokémon Center. Ash and his friends are pleased that N deeply cares about Pokémon and that they cannot forgive Team Plasma for capturing Pokémon. Schwarz and Weiss decide to cut the Pokémon Center's power to disarm the security system so they can sneak in and retrieve Braviary. During the blackout, N finally notices Braviary's tracking device. Ash, Iris, and Cilan are curious as to what caused the power outage and Cilan states that the outside lights are still on, so the issue is specific to the Center. N comes in with Braviary to inform them that the power outage was caused by the same Team Plasma members that captured Braviary. Nurse Joy and {{p|Audino}} decide to go check the circuit breakers and Schwarz and Weiss sneak behind her. They enter the room where the Pokémon are resting and use night-vision goggles to find Braviary. They are too late as they see that Braviary's tracking device is moving. They go outside and see N and what appears to see Braviary. They send out Zangoose and Seviper and attack N with {{m|Slash}} and Bite. It is revealed that Braviary wasn't there and that they have been fooled. They turn to N and demand to know where Braviary is, but N runs away, forcing the them to order their Pokémon to chase after him.

Meanwhile, Ash, Iris and Cilan are taking Braviary in the opposite direction. Ash and Cilan recall N telling them that they need to release Braviary somewhere safe. Iris runs ahead and finds the perfect location. However, Braviary refuses to go back as he worried about N. Ash orders and begs it to stop, mentioning that Team Plasma grunts will only capture him again. Ash realizes that Braviary knows that N is in trouble and Braviary dashes off to find N.

N is still running away from Zangoose and Seviper but they find him and the two grunts catch up. Schwarz orders Seviper to use {{m|Screech}} and Weiss orders Slash on N. N proclaims that he will never give up on his mission to save Pokémon and the two grunts order another round of attacks. However, Braviary gets here just in time to save N, along with Ash, Iris, and Cilan. Ash calls on {{AP|Pikachu}} and Iris sends out {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}} to battle Zangoose and Seviper. Ash apologizes to N that he and Iris are battling but states they have no choice at this point. During the battle, Cilan reminds Ash and Iris to not underestimate their opponents as Seviper and Zangoose are well trained. Excadrill finally beats Seviper with {{m|Focus Blast}} and is recalled because Seviper's Screech has weakened it. Meanwhile, Zangoose and Pikachu collide with two {{m|Iron Tail}} attacks and both Pokémon are struggling to get up. As Zangoose is about to finish Pikachu off with {{m|Mega Punch}}, Ash calls out to Pikachu to get up. Seeing Pikachu is in trouble, Braviary tears off its bandages and intercepts with {{m|Wing Attack}}. N watches the battles with awe. Ash then tells Pikachu to finish Zangoose with {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Schwarz and Weiss retreat after their loss and Ash thanks Braviary. Later, Ash, Iris, and Cilan watch on as Braviary is released back to the wild. N tells it that this is where it was meant to be and that it won't need to worry about Team Plasma again.

Upon seeing N's injuries, the group takes him back to the Pokémon Center so Nurse Joy can treat him. N mentions that he will be going a bit past [[Driftveil City]] and they invite him to travel with them. N mentions that despite all that happened, he is still against Pokémon battles. However, he confesses that after seeing them battle, it made him experience feelings that he never felt before. So N decides that it will be an honor to travel together with the group for a while.

Ash's friends

''This article is about Ash's main and temporary traveling companions. If you were looking for a general list of people Ash has met on his journey, see [[Character of the day]].''
----
[[File:Ash and friends BW.png|250px|thumb|{{Ash}} and his current traveling friends {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}}]]
'''Ash's friends''' are the traveling companions that [[Ash Ketchum]] has had with him on his journey on his quest to become a [[Pokémon Master]]. While he started his journey alone, many people have joined his party while touring the [[Pokémon world]]; usually at least one new companion joins—and another leaves—every time a new region is visited.

[[Johto]] is the only region where Ash did not acquire a new friend that would travel with him, excluding {{an|Brock}}, who came back after his [[Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands|absence]], and [[Todd Snap]] and [[Ritchie]], who both traveled with him temporarily.

==[[Original series]]==
===Misty===
[[File:MistyEP.png|thumb|{{an|Misty}}]]
{{main|Misty (anime)}}
Misty joined Ash in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', traveling with him because she wanted him to replace her [[Bicycle|bike]], which was destroyed by his {{AP|Pikachu}}. She would continuously travel with him until ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'', when she returned to [[Cerulean City]] nearly full-time to lead [[Cerulean Gym|her family's Gym]], though she briefly traveled to [[Hoenn]] and met up with Ash's {{series2|Advanced Generation}} group, and again to "escort" her back home.

===Brock===
[[File:BrockDP.png|thumb|right|{{an|Brock}}]]
{{main|Brock (anime)}}
Brock first joined Ash in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' after Ash {{pkmn|battle}}d him in the [[Pewter City]] [[Pewter Gym|Gym]]. After his father {{ka|Flint}} offered to take over the duties of [[Gym Leader]], Brock followed Ash through [[Kanto]], leaving briefly from ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]'' to ''[[EP115|A Tent Situation]]'' to work for [[Professor Ivy]]. After this episode, Brock returned to be with Ash and {{an|Misty}} until ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'', though he, unlike Misty, would return shortly, in ''[[AG004|You Can Never Taillow]]'', sticking with Ash until [[AG192|the end of the series]]. He would again return in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'', and so traveled through [[Sinnoh]] with Ash until ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]''.

===Tracey Sketchit===
[[File:TraceyEP.png|thumb|{{Tracey}}]]
{{main|Tracey Sketchit}}
After {{an|Brock}} left to work for Professor Ivy, Ash's traveling group was down to two, as it had been for the first five episodes of [[Kanto]]. However, this would not last very long, as in ''[[EP084|The Lost Lapras]]'', {{Tracey}} essentially invited himself along for the rest of the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] saga. Traveling with Ash, he wished to attain his ultimate goal of meeting {{an|Professor Oak}}, which he did when Ash returned to Kanto in ''[[EP115|A Tents Situation]]''. After this, he remained in [[Pallet Town]] to be Professor Oak's assistant.

===May===
[[File:MayAG.png|thumb|{{an|May}}]]
{{main|May (anime)}}
Ash may have traveled to [[Hoenn]] alone; however, shortly after his arrival, he met {{an|May}}, a young girl who desired to travel around the world and a fellow Trainer who was just starting her journey, and then ended up destroying her bike just like that of Misty. Though she initially did not care for [[Pokémon battle]]s, she eventually found [[Pokémon Contest]]s, in which she competed while in Hoenn and then later in [[Kanto]]. May traveled with Ash through the entire {{series2|Advanced Generation}} saga, from ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road]]'' to ''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start Is!]]'', after which she went off to [[Johto]] to compete in Contests there. She, like {{an|Misty}}, reappeared briefly during the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} to compete in the [[Wallace Cup]].

===Max===

{{main|Max}}
Max is {{an|May}}'s younger brother. He does not have any Pokémon of his own because he is too young, but he often befriends certain Pokémon. He traveled with the group from ''[[AG003|There's no Place Like Hoenn]]'' until ''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start Is]]'', when he went home to [[Petalburg City]]. However, he made a promise to Ash that as soon as he got his own Pokémon, he would {{pkmn|battle}} Ash.

Like his journey into [[Hoenn]], Ash ventured to [[Sinnoh]] alone, where, in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]'', he would meet {{an|Dawn}}. From that point, after saving [[Ash's Pikachu]] and having her bike fried in a similar way to May's and Misty's, Dawn would travel with Ash and Brock through Sinnoh, which she did until ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'' when all three friends split up.

Dawn rejoins Ash's group in the {{series|Best Wishes}} in ''[[BW086|Piplup, Pansage, and a Meeting of the Times!]]'' to compete in the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]]. Dawn would leave the group in ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]'' and travel to Johto to compete in the Wallace Cup.

After reportedly being disbanded from Team Rocket, Meowth was found unconscious by [[Ash's Tepig]] and [[Iris's Axew]]. The group nursed him back to health and invited him to accompany them so as to protect him from Trainers wanting to capture the only talking {{p|Meowth}} in Unova. He used his ability to speak to humans and Pokémon many times during their travels together.

He later revealed their travels to be a facade to gain their trust for a mission, and reunited with [[Jessie]] and [[James]] in ''[[BW047|Crisis from the Underground Up!]]''.

'''Misty's Staryu''' (Japanese: '''カスミのヒトデマン''' ''Kasumi's Hitodeman'') was one of the three original {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} acquired by {{an|Misty}} in the [[Kanto]] region in the {{pkmn|anime}}, and Misty also has a Staryu in most of the games she appears in.

==History==
[[File:Miisty Staryu Debut.png|left|thumb|200px|Staryu in its debut]]
Misty uses Staryu often as one of her main battling Pokémon throughout most of the series. It doesn't seem to have much of a personality due to its extremely un-anthropomorphic features, but Misty says she's able to recognize its emotions and feelings. It often shimmered when called into {{pkmn|battle}}s, and its core glowed pink accompanied by a siren like 'Bing' when tired or weakened.

Staryu was first used to defend [[Mt. Moon]] against an attack by [[Team Rocket trio|Team Rocket]]. Staryu was sent out against {{MTR}}, who was trying to abduct a {{p|Clefairy}}. Misty next used Staryu in her Gym battle against {{Ash}}. When Ash didn't recognize Staryu, he used his [[Pokédex]] on it; he later commented "Leave it to a girl to show off her jewelry!". Staryu demonstrated an Ability similar to {{a|Natural Cure}}, despite Abilities not having been introduced at the time, by diving into the water to negate {{m|Stun Spore}} and {{m|Sleep Powder}}. It also seemed to be rather clumsy, as it missed {{TP|Ash|Butterfree}} and nearly slipped, almost falling into the water. Despite this Staryu was able to beat {{AP|Butterfree}} by {{m|Tackle|tackling}} it into the water.

Staryu was also used for its strong swimming abilities, helping {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} escape the sunken [[S.S. Anne|St. Anne]], and also later helped the team escape [[James]]'s {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio|Gyarados}} along with {{TP|Misty|Goldeen}} and {{TP|Misty|Starmie}}. It also tried to help the gang get to the [[North Pole]] along with Goldeen, Starmie and {{AP|Squirtle}}, however it, along with its fellow swimmers, tired out before they made it. It would again be called to help tow a raft to escape a crumbling island made up of {{p|Kabuto}} that were then reviving.

Misty also used Staryu during the [[Princess Day|Princess Festival]].

Misty auditioned Staryu for a part in a movie in ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quacktion!]]'', however, as is often the case with Misty calling out Staryu, Psyduck came out instead. Staryu did get a part however, helping provide the rain effect for the final scene. Its media career also included dancing on stage in ''[[EP090|Stage Fight!]]'' to help a traveling riverboat show that dubbed acting Pokémon with human voices back stage.

Staryu was often called into battle, even relied on when Misty had access to other Pokémon such as {{TP|Misty|Poliwag|Politoed}} and {{TP|Misty|Corsola}}. Staryu's strength was called on in ''[[EP091|Bye Bye Psyduck]]'', battling {{oi|Marina}}'s {{p|Tentacruel}}. Upon entering battle, Marina commented it was an excellent looking Staryu, and Misty responded that Staryu was one of her favorite Pokémon and that she polished it daily. The pampering appeared to pay off as it was able to take down Tentacruel with one {{m|Swift}} attack. It was however defeated by Marina's powerful {{p|Psyduck}}.

Staryu was also used to fight Ash a second time to win a {{AP|Totodile}}. It battled against his {{AP|Chikorita|Bayleef}}, showing high determination, digging in its heels against a {{m|Tackle}} and dodging through {{m|Razor Leaf}} and {{m|Vine Whip}}. It was also able to strike a powerful {{m|Water Gun}} that jetted Chikorita several feet up and across the battle field. It was, however, beaten to the ground by a powerful Vine Whip. Misty later apologized to Staryu, saying she hoped she hadn't pushed it too hard and only did so because she had an immense amount of faith in the Pokémon, showing she had a very strong bond with Staryu and cared about it greatly.

[[File:Misty and Staryu.png|right|Misty and Staryu in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}|thumb|200px|left]]
In ''[[EP110|The Stun Spore Detour]]'', a wild {{TP|Misty|Poliwag|Politoed}} seeks protection from James and Meowth by hiding behind Misty. Misty's Staryu defeats [[James's Weezing]] by using {{m|Tackle}} followed by {{m|Double-Edge}}, which not only cut through Weezing's {{m|Smog}} but also sent Weezing flying.

In ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]'' Staryu was called up against [[Molly Hale]]. Being under water, Staryu showed to be even more capable than on land. It went up against {{p|Mantine}} and scored a couple of {{m|Tackle}}s before looping round for another run. Before it was able to hit, Staryu was hit by Mantine's {{m|Whirlpool}}, although the attack, even combined with a direct hit from {{m|BubbleBeam}}, wasn't able to even affect it slightly. It then easily dissipated the Whirlpool with {{m|Rapid Spin}} and went on the offensive with several high speed Tackles, chasing Mantine through the water in dogged pursuit.

Despite being one of the oldest Pokémon Misty owns, Staryu is still used, even in recent episodes. It was called on in ''[[SS002|Cerulean Blues]]'' to defend the [[Cerulean Gym]] from a challenge by the [[Invincible Pokémon Brothers]]. Staryu battled very well, until the brother's {{p|Hitmonchan}} launched a sneak attack on it, knocking it out. Despite not being able to battle, Staryu won by default due to the Pokémon Brother's cheating by using that illegal sneak attack. He tried to justify himself but [[Nurse Joy]]'s ruling stood.

Staryu's last appearance to date was in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]''. Misty used it to battle [[Dr. Yung]]'s {{pkmn2|mirage}} {{p|Aggron}}. Staryu began with a direct hit with BubbleBeam, which failed to faze Aggron. It was then struck with a strong {{m|Sandstorm}} attack. Misty then ordered {{m|Water Gun}} to be used, this was countered with {{m|Thunder Wave}}, Staryu was then finished with a volley of {{m|Bullet Seed}}. This appearance happened after Misty had left the main cast and was leader of Cerulean Gym.

Misty used Staryu quite often in Kanto and during the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] saga. However, after she captured her {{TP|Misty|Poliwag|Politoed}}, she started to use it less often. By the end of the Johto saga, Misty hardly ever used Staryu, preferring to use her {{TP|Misty|Corsola}} and {{TP|Misty|Politoed}}.

In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Misty's Staryu (nicknamed ヒトちゃん ''Hito-chan'' in the Japanese version) debuted in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}} in ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'', defending an injured Misty from her rampaging [[Gyara]]dos. It was on the brink of fainting when {{adv|Red}} intervened, buying Staryu enough time to {{m|recover}} and launch a joint attack with [[Saur|Red's Bulbasaur]] before Red captured the Atrocious Pokémon. It was used later to defend against [[Koga]]'s newly-evolved {{p|Rhydon}}; however, despite its type advantage, it lost to the stronger opponent.

'''Saving Braviary''' (Japanese: '''N再び！ウォーグル救出作戦！！''' ''N, Again! Operation Rescue {{tt|Warrgle|Braviary}}!! '') is the 114th episode of the {{series|Best Wishes}}, and the 771st episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It first aired in Japan on February 21, 2013 and in the United States on May 25, 2013.
{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
The episode begins with two {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt|Plasma Grunts}}, [[Schwarz and Weiss]] driving a truck during nighttime and come to a block in the road. As they move the barricades out of the way, {{an|N}} sneaks behind the truck and places a small device that unlocks the back door. Upon opening the doors N finds a caged {{p|Braviary}}. He releases it and they attempt to get away. However, the grunts see him and send out {{p|Seviper}} and {{p|Zangoose}} to stop him with {{m|Slash}} and {{m|Bite}}, respectively. N manages to block the attacks, saving Braviary, but they fall off the cliff in the process. Schwarz and Weiss had a tracking chip on Braviary neck that will track it down.

Meanwhile, {{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}} are still on their journey to the [[White Ruins]]. Ash and Iris become anxious to get some rest and Cilan tells there's a Pokémon Center nearby. They suddenly find N and Braviary, who collapsed from their injuries. N tells then that Braviary is injured and the group takes them to the Pokémon Center. [[Nurse Joy]] tends to Braviary's injuries and mentions that Braviary is unable to fly due to them. N thanks her for help and comforts Braviary. Ash scans Braviary with his Pokédex and asks N what happened. N states that Braviary got captured by Team Plasma Grunts, in which Ash, Iris and Cilan exclaim that they encountered Team Plasma when they were using EM Waves to control Pokémon. N states that his mission is to liberate all the Pokémon under Team Plasma's control. The group propose to help N but he tells them that the mission is his own.

Schwarz and Weiss track Braviary to the Pokémon Center. Ash and his friends are pleased that N deeply cares about Pokémon and that they cannot forgive Team Plasma for capturing Pokémon. Schwarz and Weiss decide to cut the Pokémon Center's power to disarm the security system so they could sneak in and retrieve Braviary. N finally notices Braviary's tracking device during the blackout. Ash, Iris, and Cilan are curious to what caused the power outage and Cilan states that the outside lights are on, so the issue was specific to the Center. N comes in with Braviary to inform them that the power outage was caused by the Team Plasma members that captured Braviary. Nurse Joy and {{p|Audino}} decide to go check the circuit breakers and Schwarz and Weiss sneak behind her. They enter the room where the Pokémon are resting and use night-vision goggles to find Braviary. They are too late as they see that Braviary's tracking device is moving. They go outside and see N and what appears to see Braviary. They send out Zangoose and Seviper and once again they order them to attack with Slash and Bite. It is revealed that Braviary wasn't there and that they have been fooled. They turn to N and demand to know where Braviary is, but N runs away, forcing the them to order their Pokémon to chase after him.

Meanwhile, Ash, Iris and Cilan are taking Braviary in the opposite direction. Ash and Cilan recall N telling them that they need to release Braviary somewhere safe. Iris runs ahead and finds the perfect location. However, Braviary refuses to go back as he worried about N. Ash orders and begs it to stop, mentioning that Team Plasma grunts will capture him. Ash realizes that Braviary knows that N is in trouble and Braviary dashes off to find N.

N is still running away from Zangoose and Seviper but they find and the two grunts catch up. Schwarz orders Seviper to use {{m|Screech}} and Weiss orders {{m|Slash}} on N. N proclaims that he will never give up on his mission and the two grunts order another round of attacks. However, Braviary gets here just in time to save N, along with Ash, Iris, and Cilan. Ash calls on {{AP|Pikachu}} and Iris sends out {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}} to battle Zangoose and Seviper. During the battle, Cilan reminds Ash and Iris to not underestimate their opponents as Seviper and Zangoose are well trained. Excadrill finally beats Seviper with {{m|Focus Blast}} and is recalled. Zangoose and Pikachu collide with two {{m|Iron Tail}} attacks and both Pokémon are struggling to get up. As Zangoose is about to finish Pikachu off with {{m|Mega Punch}}, Ash calls out to Pikachu, but Braviary intercepts with {{m|Wing Attack}}. N watched the battles with awe. Ash then tells Pikachu to finish it with {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Schwarz and Weiss retreat after their loss and Ash thanks Braviary. Later, Ash, Iris, and Cilan watch on as Braviary goes back to the wild. N tells it that this is where it was meant to be and that it won't need to worry about Team Plasma again.

Upon seeing N's injuries, the group takes him back to the Pokémon Center so Nurse Joy can treat him. N mentions that he will be going a bit past {{ci|Driftveil}} and they invite him to travel with them. N mentions that despite all that happened, he is still against Pokémon battles. However, he confesses that seeing them battle, made him experience feelings that he never felt before. So N decides that it will be an honor to travel together for a while.

'''Seviper''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ハブネーク''' ''Habunake'') is a {{type|Poison}} Pokémon.

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

It is well known for its ongoing feud against {{p|Zangoose}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Seviper are fairly large snake Pokémon that are usually depicted scrunched up like an accordion. They are mostly black in color, but have several markings on their body. Seviper have yellow hexagon markings that run from their head to their tail, small yellow bumps where they touch the ground (this is presumably to help with movement) and various purple scar-like marks. Seviper has several different weapons it can use in battle, such as elongated red fangs that protrude from the mouth and a partially red-colored, bladelike tail that it can use to stab or swipe. Seviper also have fierce red eyes that make it able to use attacks like {{m|Glare}}.

====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
Seviper can create a horrible poison that it can channel through either the tail or fangs, quickly dispatching prey.

Prior to [[Generation V]], Seviper was the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learned {{m|Poison Tail}} through leveling up.

Seviper can also use {{m|Flamethrower}}, despite not being able to learn any other {{type|Fire}} moves (excluding {{m|Sunny Day}}).

===Behavior===
Seviper are bitter enemies with {{p|Zangoose}}, willing to battle them to the bitter end. It is suggested that this feud has lasted for quite some time. It sharpens its swordlike tail on hard rocks for battle, and may hide in tall grass and strike unwary prey with its {{m|Poison Fang|venomous fangs}}.

===Habitat===
[[File:Grassland Habitat.png|thumb|[[List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon]]]]
They live on places such as plains and forest to search for prey.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Seviper is a carnivore, hiding in tall grass. It uses its long tongue to sense prey. Then it strikes unawary prey with its venomous fangs. Their prey may include {{p|Zangoose}} due to their hatred towards them.

==In the anime==
[[File:Jessie Seviper.png|thumb|255px|Seviper in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Jessie's Seviper]]====
Seviper first appeared in ''[[AG008|A Tail with a Twist]]''. [[Jessie]] was so impressed by how it beat up [[Ash's Treecko]], that she just had to capture it. After it bit off a chunk of her hair accidentally, she beat it up with her own two hands. After [[James]] and {{MTR}} calmed her back down, she captured it in a [[Poké Ball]].

====[[Lucy's Seviper]]====
The {{DL|Battle Frontier (Hoenn)|Battle Pike}} Queen {{FB|Pike Queen|Lucy}} owns a Seviper. She used it to fight off {{TRT}} and to battle [[Ash's Donphan]] in ''[[AG158|Queen of the Serpentine]]''.

====Other====
In ''[[DP053|Tears for Fears!]]'', the rivalry between both Seviper and Zangoose was highlighted upon a couple of times during the episode. Jessie's Seviper had picked up on the three other Zangoose that were making their way towards the team. It had immediately reacted and proceeded to do battle with them. Once learning of the fact that they would be fighting till the death, Jessie had tried to recall Seviper several times, though each time, Seviper would break back out of its Poké Ball to continue fighting.

A Seviper appeared in ''[[BW114|Saving Braviary]]'' under the ownership of a {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}} named [[Schwarz and Weiss|Schwarz]].

==In the manga==
[[File:Lucy Seviper Adventures.png|thumb|Seviper in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
A wild Seviper attacked {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}} after the latter took him to her [[Secret Base]]. [[Chic|Her Torchic]] was able to put it down for the time being with its {{m|Ember}} barrage, but it rose back up after Sapphire fainted from an earlier wound. Ruby, seeing that there was no one around to see him fight, knocked it out cold before leaving Sapphire a letter and a change of clothes.

Another Seviper appeared in the wild in {{PAV|17}}, where it broke Ruby's [[Poké Ball]]s in unison with a wild {{p|Zangoose}}. The then-uncaptured {{adv|Mimi}} was able to take them both out, resulting in it being forced into his team (which provided a sharp contrast between the well-groomed [[Nana]] and [[Kiki]], and [[Mumu]] and itself).

As in the games, the [[Pike Queen Lucy]] uses a Seviper as her main Pokémon, which was able to defeat two [[rental Pokémon]] in an exhibition match, and later fought {{adv|Emerald}} before losing.

==Trivia==
* In the [[AG077|most infamous]] [[Pokémon Trainer's Choice]], Seviper was incorrectly claimed to be an evolution of {{p|Arbok}}.
* Although it is stated that Seviper and Zangoose are bitter enemies, they share several characteristics, such as being in the Field Egg Group, residing in the same Friend Area, and having a base stat total of 458 (which is unique to only them).
* Seviper is the only pure {{t|Poison}} type to not have an evolutionary relative.
* The pattern on the [[Symbol|Luck Symbol]] seems to be based on Seviper's diamond patterns.
* Seviper and Zangoose also have the exact opposite [[Experience]] group, with Seviper being in the Fluctuating group and Zangoose being in the Erratic group.
* Although Pokédex entries say Seviper and Zangoose are bitter enemies, they have gotten along in [[BW114|Saving Braviary]].

===Origin===
Seviper is based on a viper; specifically, the {{wp|habu}}, a type of venomous {{wp|snake}} that was often pitted against {{wp|mongoose}}s in roadside shows. This practice is now considered inhumane and is rarely seen today. Aside from its scars, the shape of its color pattern resembles that of the {{wp|Trimeresurus elegans | Sakishima habu}}. The rivalry it shares with Zangoose is based on the relationship between mongooses and snakes.

====Name origin====
Seviper is a combination of ''sever'' (to cut and detach) or ''severe'' (intense) and ''{{wp|viper}}''.

Habunake is a combination of 波布 ''{{wp|habu}}'' and ''snake''.

'''Zangoose''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ザングース''' ''Zangoose'') is a {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.

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

It is well known for its ongoing feud against {{p|Seviper}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Zangoose are fairly large Pokémon that have the characteristics of both mongooses and cats. Their fur is mostly white in color, but they possess deep red markings on the face, chest, and forepaws, which have sharp turns and edges. These markings make it appear that Zangoose has been involved in a vicious fight and is covered in blood and scars. They have two apparently retractable, long, sharp, black claws on their forepaws that are their main weapons in battle. Zangoose have large pink eyes, small tufts of white fur on their shoulders, somewhat rabbit-like ears, and a large, furry, white tail. They also have a pattern of four pink circles on the underside of their hind feet in a "paw-pad"-like arrangement. When a Zangoose opens its mouth, two sharp fangs can be seen.

====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===

===Behavior===
Zangoose are bitter enemies with Seviper, and the two will battle each other to the end. It is suggested this rivalry has lasted for ages. It will usually walk on all fours, but when angry, it will stand on its hind legs.

===Habitat===
[[File:Grassland Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
This Pokémon is found on {{rt|114|Hoenn}} in [[Hoenn]], and more rarely on {{rt|210|Sinnoh}} and {{rt|11|Unova}}, so it presumably prefers to live in mountainous areas with grass, trees, and flowing rivers with waterfalls.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Zangoose is an active hunter, and its prey may include {{p|Seviper}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Blackbelt Zangoose.png|thumb|right|210px|Zangoose in the anime]]

===Major appearances===
Zangoose first appeared in ''[[AG048|ZigZag Zangoose]]'' under the control of [[Nicholai]].

In ''[[SS020|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness]]'', Zangoose was a member of Team Razor Wind, along with {{p|Scyther}} and {{p|Sandslash}}. The trio of clawed Pokémon were first seen being blasted out of the [[Wigglytuff's Guild|Wigglytuff Guild]]. Team Razor Wind overheard that [[Team Poképals]] were assigned with the task of traveling to the Labyrinth Cave to get a {{p|Gabite}} Scale for an ailing {{p|Shinx}}, and decided to attempt beating [[Team Poképals]]. Unfortunately for Team Razor Wind, Gabite beat them up. It reappeared alongside its team in ''[[SS021|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - Beyond Time & Darkness]]''.

In ''[[DP053|Tears For Fears!]]'' another group of Zangoose appeared before {{TRT}} and fought with [[Jessie]]'s {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}. Later, Chimchar found the courage to defeat them.

===Minor appearances===
A Zangoose appeared in the opening of ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'' and ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''.

In ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze]]'', it is discovered that [[Paul]] found {{AP|Chimchar|Infernape}} being attacked by a group of Zangoose. Because of the amazing power it used fighting the Zangoose, Paul decided to capture it. Later, Chimchar was to fight another Zangoose and nearly lost to it.

A powerful Zangoose appeared in ''[[DP135|Beating the Bustle and Hustle!]]'' under the ownership of [[Crimson]].

A Zangoose appeared in ''[[BW114|Saving Braviary]]'' under the ownership of the {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt|Plasma Grunt}} [[Schwarz and Weiss|Weiss]].

Multiple Zangoose appeared in [[BW120]] under the ownership of several Team Plasma Grunts.

==Trivia==
* Although it is stated that {{p|Seviper}} and Zangoose are bitter enemies, they share several characteristics, such as being in the {{egg|Field}} Egg Group, residing in the same [[Friend Area]], and having a base stat total of 458 (which is unique to only them).
* Zangoose and Seviper also have the exact opposite [[Experience]] group, with Zangoose being in the Erratic group and Seviper being in the Fluctuating group.
* Before [[Generation IV]], Zangoose was the [[signature move|only Pokémon]] to learn {{m|Crush Claw}} by leveling up.
* Zangoose is the only Hoenn-dex Pokémon not present in Sapphire ''or'' Emerald versions. Like {{p|Lunatone}} (which can not be found in Ruby or Emerald), it can be found in XD.
* Although Pokédex entries say Zangoose and Seviper are bitter enemies, they have gotten along in [[BW114|Saving Braviary]].

===Origin===
Zangoose, as its name implies, is based on a {{wp|mongoose}}, as well as cats. It bears the most physical resemblance to the Angolan and Persian breeds. The rivalry it shares with Seviper is based on the relationship between both cats and mongooses towards {{wp|snake}}s.

====Name origin====
Zangoose is a combination of 刪 ''san'' (cut down) and ''{{wp|mongoose}}'' (a small, cat-like carnivore that is well known for its ability to hunt and kill venomous snakes). It may also derive from 残痕 ''zankon'' (scar, due to the markings in its body). Alternatively, it may be a combination of ''mongoose'' with ''zangado'' (Portuguese for ''angry'', due to its ferocious behavior and look).

'''Zangoose''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ザングース''' ''Zangoose'') is a {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.

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

It is well known for its ongoing feud against {{p|Seviper}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Zangoose are fairly large Pokémon that have the characteristics of both mongooses and cats. Their fur is mostly white in color, but they possess deep red markings on the face, chest, and forepaws, which have sharp turns and edges. These markings make it appear that Zangoose has been involved in a vicious fight and is covered in blood and scars. They have two apparently retractable, long, sharp, black claws on their forepaws that are their main weapons in battle. Zangoose have large pink eyes, small tufts of white fur on their shoulders, somewhat rabbit-like ears, and a large, furry, white tail. They also have a pattern of four pink circles on the underside of their hind feet in a "paw-pad"-like arrangement. When a Zangoose opens its mouth, two sharp fangs can be seen.

====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===

===Behavior===
Zangoose are bitter enemies with Seviper, and the two will battle each other to the end. It is suggested this rivalry has lasted for ages. It will usually walk on all fours, but when angry, it will stand on its hind legs.

===Habitat===
[[File:Grassland Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
This Pokémon is found on {{rt|114|Hoenn}} in [[Hoenn]], and more rarely on {{rt|210|Sinnoh}} and {{rt|11|Unova}}, so it presumably prefers to live in mountainous areas with grass, trees, and flowing rivers with waterfalls.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Zangoose is an active hunter, and its prey may include {{p|Seviper}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Blackbelt Zangoose.png|thumb|right|210px|Zangoose in the anime]]

===Major appearances===
Zangoose first appeared in ''[[AG048|ZigZag Zangoose]]'' under the control of [[Nicholai]].

In ''[[SS020|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness]]'', Zangoose was a member of Team Razor Wind, along with {{p|Scyther}} and {{p|Sandslash}}. The trio of clawed Pokémon were first seen being blasted out of the [[Wigglytuff's Guild|Wigglytuff Guild]]. Team Razor Wind overheard that [[Team Poképals]] were assigned with the task of traveling to the Labyrinth Cave to get a {{p|Gabite}} Scale for an ailing {{p|Shinx}}, and decided to attempt beating [[Team Poképals]]. Unfortunately for Team Razor Wind, Gabite beat them up. It reappeared alongside its team in ''[[SS021|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - Beyond Time & Darkness]]''.

In ''[[DP053|Tears For Fears!]]'' another group of Zangoose appeared before {{TRT}} and fought with [[Jessie]]'s {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}. Later, Chimchar found the courage to defeat them.

===Minor appearances===
A Zangoose appeared in the opening of ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'' and ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''.

In ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze]]'', it is discovered that [[Paul]] found {{AP|Chimchar|Infernape}} being attacked by a group of Zangoose. Because of the amazing power it used fighting the Zangoose, Paul decided to capture it. Later, Chimchar was to fight another Zangoose and nearly lost to it.

A powerful Zangoose appeared in ''[[DP135|Beating the Bustle and Hustle!]]'' under the ownership of [[Crimson]].

A Zangoose appeared in ''[[BW114|Saving Braviary]]'' under the ownership of the {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt|Plasma Grunt}} [[Schwarz and Weiss|Weiss]].

Multiple Zangoose appeared in [[BW120]] under the ownership of several Team Plasma Grunts.

==Trivia==
* Although it is stated that {{p|Seviper}} and Zangoose are bitter enemies, they share several characteristics, such as being in the {{egg|Field}} Egg Group, residing in the same [[Friend Area]], and having a base stat total of 458 (which is unique to only them).
* Zangoose and Seviper also have the exact opposite [[Experience]] group, with Zangoose being in the Erratic group and Seviper being in the Fluctuating group.
* Before [[Generation IV]], Zangoose was the [[signature move|only Pokémon]] to learn {{m|Crush Claw}} by leveling up.
* Zangoose is the only Hoenn-dex Pokémon not present in Sapphire ''or'' Emerald versions. Like {{p|Lunatone}} (which can not be found in Ruby or Emerald), it can be found in XD.
* Although Pokédex entries say Zangoose and Seviper are bitter enemies, they have gotten along in {{BW114|Saving Braviary}}.

===Origin===
Zangoose, as its name implies, is based on a {{wp|mongoose}}, as well as cats. It bears the most physical resemblance to the Angolan and Persian breeds. The rivalry it shares with Seviper is based on the relationship between both cats and mongooses towards {{wp|snake}}s.

====Name origin====
Zangoose is a combination of 刪 ''san'' (cut down) and ''{{wp|mongoose}}'' (a small, cat-like carnivore that is well known for its ability to hunt and kill venomous snakes). It may also derive from 残痕 ''zankon'' (scar, due to the markings in its body). Alternatively, it may be a combination of ''mongoose'' with ''zangado'' (Portuguese for ''angry'', due to its ferocious behavior and look).

'''Butterfree''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''バタフリー''' ''Butterfree'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Metapod}} starting at [[level]] 10. It is the final form of {{p|Caterpie}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Butterfree resembles a vaguely anthropomorphic butterfly. Unlike true insects, it only has four legs, which are a pale blue color. It has a nose-like structure, which is a similar color. The coloration of a Butterfree's body is a darker purple-blue. It has large veined wings, which are white with black markings. These markings can help distinguish male and female individuals. It has large compound eyes that tend to be a reddish color. Like members of the order {{wp|Lepidoptera}}, Butterfree's {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with two or more pairs of wings|two pairs of wings}} are covered in fine scales. Its legs are covered in fine hairs, which aid in the collection of pollen.

====Gender differences====
A female has black spots on the lower parts of her wings. In [[Generation V]], they're purple instead.

===Special abilities===
The waterproof scales on Butterfree's wings are loosely attached, and if the Butterfree flaps them hard enough, they will be released into the air. This resulting "{{m|PoisonPowder|dust}}" is toxic, and can be irritating if inhaled. In some cases, additional powders will be mixed in, some {{m|Sleep Powder|causing sleep}} and others {{m|Stun Spore|paralysis}}.
Also, as Butterfree is fully evolved, it can learn and use [[Giga Impact]] and [[Hyper Beam]].

In addition to the usual powers possessed by Bug-type Pokémon, Butterfree also learns a variety of powerful {{type|Psychic}} moves.

===Behavior===
Butterfree spends most of its time foraging for honey and pollen, locating the flowers by its sense of smell. In the wild, they need to eat constantly. Special adaptations such as waterproofing on their wings, and tiny hairs on their legs let them gather food even in the rain. Butterfree will roam up to six miles (ten kilometers) from their nest in search of honey.

===Habitat===
[[File:Forest Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]
Butterfree can be found in forests and wooded areas with high amounts of moisture and mist. They can also sometimes be found flying near the ocean, which may be part of Butterfree's migratory breeding pattern. This Pokémon's natural range includes [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Sinnoh]], [[Unova]] and [[Guyana]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Butterfree collect and consume pollen and honey from flowers. Butterfree also consume sap from trees if they have been opened by {{p|Heracross}}.

==In the anime==

==Trivia==
* Butterfree is the first Pokémon shown in the {{pkmn|anime}} to have an alternate color. However, this alternate color was [[Pink Butterfree|pink]], which is not the same as the alternate color of Butterfree in the games. In the games, only its wings, feet, hands, and mouth are pink.
* Butterfree has been trained by four important anime Trainers: {{Ash}}, [[Ritchie]], [[Solidad]], and [[Drew]].
* Butterfree shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Beautifly}}. They are both known as Butterfly Pokémon.
* Butterfree can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Beedrill}}. Both of their unevolved stages evolve into their respective first evolutionary stages at level 7, which then evolve into their respective final forms at level 10. They both also go through metamorphosis-like evolution and have the same amount base stat total of 385.

===Origin===
Its design appears to be based upon a common butterfly, most likely a {{wp|Large White|Cabbage White butterfly}} (more specifically, {{wp|Black-veined White|Aporia crataegi}}).

====Name origin====
Butterfree is a combination of ''{{wp|butterfly}}'' and ''free'', possibly referring to its ability to fly after being grounded for two evolutionary stages.

{{spoilers}}
== Synopsis ==
A bright and sunny day begins our story as a gust of wind blows through the city. Three young boys stand in an alley and are suddenly confronted by a mysterious figure in a crimson cloak known as the Red Lightning, who challenges them to a Pokémon battle. {{ka|Hiroshi|One of the boys}} calls out a {{p|Poliwag}}, beginning the fight with {{m|Water Pulse}}. Red Lightning retaliates with a {{m|Hyper Beam}} attack that instantly [[fainting|knocks out]] Poliwag. Red Lightning approaches the defeated Pokémon, crouches, and leaves his mark—a series of doodles—upon it. The Poliwag's {{pkmn|Trainer}} rushes to his Pokémon as Red Lightning rides a gust of wind to reach a rooftop and disappear.

{{Ash}}, now with his fifth [[Symbol|Frontier Symbol]], plans to head to the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Tower}}. Our heroes walk along the sidewalk as Ash searches for the nearest [[Pokémon Center]]. Once they find it, {{an|Brock}} quickly locates [[Nurse Joy]] and begins his usual romantic speech while dressed as a medieval prince. Before long, [[Max]] drags Brock off by the ear. Suddenly, the three boys arrive with the fainted Poliwag. Given Ash and company's unfamiliarity with the mysterious individual, Nurse Joy tells them that he regularly challenges and defeats Trainers, then draws on their Pokémon's faces, such as another young boy's {{p|Gulpin}} that arrived shortly beforehand. Nearby, {{TRT}} are [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguised]] in janitor's clothing and plan to capture the defeated Pokémon.

Afterward, {{an|May}} is outside diligently reading a textbook about [[Pokéblock]]s and feeding {{TP|May|Eevee|Glaceon}} one. {{TP|May|Munchlax}} is quick to notice and begins to complain, so May gives it a May's Pink Surprise. May then recalls Munchlax, {{TP|May|Combusken|Blaziken}}, and Eevee back into their [[Poké Ball]]s as she tries to figure out which of her Pokémon is missing. She eventually realizes that {{TP|May|Squirtle|Wartortle}} is missing and goes to look for it. May finally catches up to Squirtle, who is smelling some flowers alongside a {{p|Butterfree}}. A brief gust of wind carries Butterfree off into the sky and Red Lightning arrives on the scene, offering May a [[Pokémon battle]]. He doesn't give May much of a choice, however, and fires his signature Hyper Beam attack. Squirtle avoids the blast and counters with {{m|Water Gun}}. Red Lightning avoids Water Gun as it dives toward Squirtle and gets a lock on it. Red Lightning opens his claw and targets Squirtle with another Hyper Beam, knocking it unconscious. The mark of Red Lightning is left as evidence of Squirtle's defeat. May is dumbfounded by the strange figure, his aerial escape, and the doodles on Squirtle's face.

Inside the Pokémon Center, Ash notices that all of the patient Pokémon have the same markings that the young boy's Poliwag had. May enters the building with her Squirtle, Red Lightning's most recent victim. The group heads out in the search of this "Red Lightning." Before long, a scream is heard in the distance. They rush over to find a young girl and her {{p|Chansey}} beaten by Red Lightning in another alley. A gust of wind alerts them to Red Lightning, standing on a gate and about to make his escape. Ash confronts him and tells {{AP|Pikachu}} to use {{m|Quick Attack}}, but his target leaps out of the way. Pikachu fires a {{m|Thunderbolt}} attack but misses again, and Red Lightning moves in to take advantage of the situation. He uses Hyper Beam, but Pikachu dodges with a Quick Attack off of a nearby wall.

When the battlers land on the ground, a net emerges from the distance, which Red Lightning dodges easily. Team Rocket announce their appearance with their trademark motto. Right after the motto's end, {{MTR}} fires another net at Red Lightning, but he avoids it and bounces off of the [[Team Rocket's mechas#Meowth Hot Air Balloon|balloon]] to escape yet again. Ash and heroes board the balloon's basket and temporarily form a truce with Team Rocket to pursue Red Lightning. The group follows him to the exquisitely-arranged garden rooftop of a tall building, where [[Luna|a young girl]] is seen holding a small notebook computer. With a press of a button, one of the nearby trees rockets into the sky and collides into Team Rocket's balloon just after Ash and his friends drop down from the basket. With Team Rocket sent blasting off, the rest of the group observes the girl and Red Lightning interact. Upon discovering that she is behind this, they emerge from hiding and confront her, but she reacts angrily and brushes them off. A well-dressed man comes from the house and apologizes for the actions of the girl, named Luna. She is quick to interrupt him, so a fed-up Ash challenges her to a Pokémon battle. Red Lightning begins with Hyper Beam, but Pikachu launches himself high into the air with Quick Attack and follows up with Thunderbolt. Red Lightning counters the move with {{m|Swift}}, creating an explosion that defrocks him, revealing "him" to be a {{p|Scizor}} that "spoke" using a speaker in its collar. Pikachu chases after Scizor with Quick Attack, but he scrambles for a ledge when Scizor leads him off the rooftop.

Ash says that he will match Scizor's speed with that of his {{AP|Sceptile}}. As Scizor flies off into the distance by using the building's updrafts, Sceptile is right behind him scaling the edifices. Scizor turns around and fires Hyper Beam. Although Sceptile leaps to avoid the attack, a gust of wind throws it in the beam's path. The hit makes Sceptile begin to fall, but it recovers in time by gripping onto a skyscraper. Sceptile notices the city's gusty winds and uses them to float through the air like Scizor. Sceptile then comes down with a powerful {{m|Leaf Blade}}, knocking Scizor unconscious. Luna begins to panic, but Sceptile reaches Scizor and rescues it from a disastrous fall. Sceptile returns to the rooftop with Scizor in tow.

With the battle over, Ash and heroes turn around to question Luna about her actions. The man then begins to explain how her parents were often away on scientific work, leaving young Luna alone to occupy her time by inventing devices, such as the ones utilized in Red Lightning. May goes over to comfort the young girl and suggests they have a rematch between Scizor and Squirtle, with Brock as the judge. Luna agrees and initializes the battle with Scizor's {{m|Swift}}, which Squirtle defends against using {{m|Withdraw}}. Squirtle launches a Water Gun at Scizor, but it quickly avoids the attack. Squirtle follows up with an {{m|Ice Beam}} that freezes the stone walkway and causes Scizor to lose its balance. Squirtle uses the icy battlefield to {{m|Rapid Spin|rotate at high speed}} toward Scizor. It tries to dodge by jumping, but the high-speed Rapid Spin still connects and sends Scizor plummeting to the ground, knocked out. Squirtle strikes a dynamic pose as May is declared the victor.

Having realized her thoughtless actions, Luna apologizes for causing trouble in the city and swears not to ever again. As the sun sets on another adventuresome day for our heroes, May relishes the thought of her next {{pkmn|Contest}} in [[Gardenia Town]].

>In the TCG, shiny Pokémon are called "shining" Pokémon.

Yes and no. There's "shining" cards, "crystal" cards, and the new ones that don't have a collecive name but are denoted by a star on them (so are commonly called "stars" or "shining stars")- ''unsigned comment from [[User:Blackjack Gabbiani|Blackjack Gabbiani]] ([[User talk:Blackjack Gabbiani|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Blackjack Gabbiani|contribs]]){{ #if: | {{{2}}} |}}''

:Crystal cards had the same Pokemon coloring as regular ones. "Shining" was the official name and i don't know why people use that crappy "shiny" word... --[[User:AtoMan|AtoMan]] 10:17, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

>If you evolve a shiny pokemon, will it stay shiny? [[User:Therequiembellishere|Therequiembellishere]] 19:05, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes, although sometimes the coloration of it will change. Shiny Charmeleon changes from off-red to a black Charizard, for instance. --[[User:Zeta|Zeta]] 21:05, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

It's the same as a red Charmeleon becoming an orange Charizard. Regular becomes regular, shiny becomes shiny. It's another status like the nature. [[User:TTEchidna|Tom Temprotran]] 00:05, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry but the {{p|Kecleon}} seen in [[EP205]] is not a shiny pokémon. To my knowledge an alternate colored Kecleon is turquoise not purple. -- {{u|Kenji-girl}}

: If it's not a normally-coloured Pokémon it must, logically, be an alternately-coloured Pokémon. It doesn't matter if it doesn't match the precise alternate colouration of the games. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 10:45, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

::Technically, yes; "alternately colored" means, technically, it's simply a different color. "Shiny" is a different story, however. [[User:Urutapu|Urutapu]] 18:27, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

:Those purple Kecleon are like that because... they're Kecleon, simple as it sounds. Not sure how to word it in the article, but it's not surprising that a chameleon Pokémon can have color variations, either because the interpretation of its traits is to blend with its surroundings (field Kecleon, pinball, anime) or changing its type via {{a|Color Change}}. This is too similar to discussing [[Smeargle (Pokémon)#Pokédex entries|the Crystal Pokédex entry for Smeargle]] --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 20:54, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Well, as there is said, every trainer has his own IDtrainer, which can be seen, and secret IDsecret , which can't be seen anywhere (that's why it's called secret).
Then, Pokémon has its own personality value, which is represented by 32 bits (all of them either 1 or 0). As you can read about it [[personality value#Shininess|here]].
E is the amount of ''ID'' xor ''ID2'' (the trainer's ID and the secret ID), while F is ''(the first 16 digits)'' xor ''(the second 16 digits)''. Then if E xor F is less than 8, the Pokémonis shiny.
But what that "xor" is? Good question. Xor is a mathematical function, that will compare two numbers (it should work only in binary) and:
- if the numbers are the same (either 1/1 or 0/0), the result is 0
- if the numbers are different (either 1/0 or 0/1, what's technically teh same case)
the result is 0.
Now, the first 16 digits of personality value in binary xor the second 16 digits will logically give number with 16 digits.
Both IDtrainer and IDsecret have 16 digits, thus the result will have 16 digits as well.
Now, when we did IDtrainer xor IDsecret and got the first number with 16 digits (E) and we first 16 digits xor second 16 digits (F), we do E xor F. If the results is less than 8, the Pokémon will be shiny.
The chance of this happening is 1/8192 as said everywhere, because the highest number with 16 digits in binary is 65 535 in decimal, plus 1 one (0). As said before, "the Pokémon is shiny if the result less than 8", thus there are 8 solutions out of thos 65536 possible. 8/65 536 = 1/8192, what is approximately about 0,0001220703125%. --KingisNitro

==Breeding chance in Gen IV==
Though I haven't found any definite sources, apparently the odds of breeding a shiny pokemon to have a shiny offspring is 1/8192, as much as finding a regular shiny. Is this true? If so, this renders Shiny dittos practically useless. [[User:Razor|Razor]] 07:18, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

: As useless as shiny Pokemon are regularly, but yes. It's the same odds as it would be with a regular Pokemon. --[[User:Porygon|Porygon]] 09:44, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

::Though really, a shiny Pokémon is no more useless than a regular one, since it's no longer determined on stats. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 17:44, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

the chances are exactly the same - its only in GSC that its a 1/64 of a shiny parents egg being shiny [[user: adambesthythe]]

== Shiny Pokemon ==

Would it be worth it if we put in a Section or even a whole new page that showed a normal Pokemon's sprite along with it's Shiny sprite image? [[User:Tesh|Tesh]] 17:11, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

== Include 4th Gen formulas? ==

I think this article should include the formulas for determining whether or not a pokemon is shiny from its MAP and OT IDs. Any objections? Also, the probability of obtaining a shiny in Gens 3/4 should be corrected to the correct value, 1/8192, not 2/65025. Where did that number come from, anyway?
--[[User:Reuvens|Reuvens]] 22:15, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
:I think the second number is the chance that a Pokémon will contract Pokérus. :/ Good idea, by the way. -- [[User:Umbee|Umbee]] 19:52, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
I think I've found the source of this ridiculous number, after a little bit of futzing. 256^2 is 65536, and the chance of encountering a shiny is 8/65536. However, 255^2 is 65025, and so it's possible that someone hit a wrong button on their calculator when trying to calculate chances. Unfortunately, I doubt that figuring any of this out is going to change the fact that a whole bunch of people are now misreporting the odds as 2/65025 simply by virtue of it previously being on Bulbapedia. Hopefully it'll die out soon.-- [[User:Reuvens|Reuvens]] 01:12, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

<strike>The chance is not 8/65536 (1/8192), but '''8 in 65536''', or '''8/(65536-8)''' (or 1/819'''1'''). That makes the chance 0.0001220852154804053% instead of 0.0001220703125%.</strike> Not much of a difference, but if such an insanely precise percentage is given, it should be accurate. Also the 2-10 isn't right, 8/65536 is 2-13. I'm correcting this both here and on [[Personality value]] --[[User:En-Cu-Kou|En-Cu-Kou]] 20:20, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

:Well if the chance of something is '''1 in 10''' it mathematically IS a 10% chance (which is 1/10. 1in10= 10%= 0.1= 1/10). <strike>You are saying that '''1 in 10''' is 1/(10-1) which simplifies into 1/9 (just like you said 1/(8192-1) simplifies to 1/8191) ) which is 10.11..% (1/9= 10.11..%= 0.11..). 10%≠10.11..%. So ''you'' are also saying that if something is a 1 in 3 chance it is a 1/(3-1) chance (which simplifies to 1/2, 1/2 is 50%--1/3 is 33.33%).</strike> If I have a jar with 3 different colored (red,pink,blue) marbles the chance of getting a pink is 1/3 (33.33%), blue is 1/3 (33.33%), and red is 1/3 (33.33%). All three percents add up to 100% and fractions add up 1 (3/3=1).<strike> If each was 50% like ''you'' were saying it would add up to 150% and 1.5 (3/2=1.5).</strike> And I was gonna round those decimal numbers on those pages, I just forgot. --[[User:Sivart345|Sivart]][[User talk:Sivart345|3]][[Special:Contributions/Sivart345|4]][[User:Firestorm|'''5''']] 22:47, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
::<strike>Nobody agrees with me?</strike> Wow, I just realized that when I wrote the chance of shininess in the pages (before En-Cu-Kou changed them) that I ''did'' write 2-10 instead of 2-13 (even though I knew it was the latter one) (guess he was right in changing that).

I fixed the percentage. Before the article claimed a .00012207% chance (approximately) of finding a shiny Pokemon. However, .0012207 is equal to 8/65536. To find the percentage, you have to first multiply by 100, giving approximately .012207% chance. [[User:Paranoid Trainer|Paranoid Trainer]] 17:48, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

== Shiny Egg? ==
If a shiny pokemon has an [[Pokémon Egg|egg]], will the pokemon that hatches from the egg be shiny? [[User:Theryguy512|Ryguy]]
:In Generation II, there was a sort of "gene" system where a shiny's offspring would more likely be shiny. However, Generation III got rid of that system. You have the same chances of finding a wild shiny as hatching a shiny, whether the parent was shiny or not.--[[User:Urutapu|Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？]] ([[User talk:Urutapu|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Urutapu|contribs]]) 22:32, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

==It was the legendary Red Snorlax==
Look, I know Shiny Snorlax are blue, but the Snorlax in [[SS012|''Training Daze]]'' was the legendary Red Snorlax. It wasn't a real Snorlax, because it turns out in the end that the Snorlax was [[Viper]], the Drill Sergeant of the [[Team Rocket Academy]] in disguise.

I used a shiny male Gyarados (from the Lake of Rage) and a female Dragonite. When all 5 eggs hatched I had 2 male and 3 female Dratini. The weird thing was that 2 females were shiny. If the chances are really 1/64 than the odds of that happening are about 1/430. With only 5 samples, its not enough info to say whether this was just luck or maybe our hypotheses about breeding need to be looked over. Any thoughts?

:Lucky. I doubt that means the chances are different.--[[User:Starlight the ampharos|Starlight the ampharos]] 17:48, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

== Shiny legendary pokémon? ==

Is it possible to get a shiny legendary without cheating or a promotional event? Or are all normally obtainable legendaries a fixed color?

:You just have to try a few times until you battle a shiny legendary... well a little more than a few times LOL xD '''[[User:Hfc2x|hfc]][[User talk:Hfc2x|2X]]''' 03:19, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

When is the shininess or nonshininess of a legendary decided? When you battle the legendary or before? i.e. if I battle a legendary, lose, turn off the game, whaever, and reload, would there be a chance of it being an alternate color the second time?

It really is not worth trying. Do you have any idea how long you would potentially have to play? You could play for three weeks without sleep of constantly battling the legendary, turning the game off and all that and still not get that shiny legendary. The chace is 1 in 8192....that doesn't mean you can battle it 8191 times and 8192nd one with DEFINATELY be shiny. Its a 1 in 8192 chance every time. Whenever I come across someone with a shiny legendary, it's common sense to assume they hacked it.[[User:Bttsstewart|Bttsstewart]] 05:50, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

: [http://www.gamefaqs.com/portable/ds/file/960099/57737 this guide] (section G002) suggests that Legendary personality values are set when the game is started (i.e., save file created), but I'm not sure that's true. The page doesn't mention it so i'll assume it's false, but does anyone know for certain?
::It isn't. In my soulsilver, I found a shiny Ho-oh, but my game froze. When I restarted, it was normal, and I was sad. [[User:Gliscorguy54|Gliscorguy54]] 01:03, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

::: Actually, when you start a new game, the game decides which [[PID]]s "are shiny". This means that there are some pre-determined PIDs that are shiny. When I checked my game (ID: 18287, SID: 31401) using Project Pokémon's PID-IV Generator, there were at least 10,000 (I gave up after that) shiny PIDs. I've been considered lucky, because I have encountered '''lots''' of shiny Pokémon (some in my old save file). I have a shiny Lugia, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, Deoxys, and Shaymin. I soft reseted each one about three times each (thirty at most if I'm "unlucky"). I am going to trade my Shiny Bidoof and Shiny Bronzong when it's possible. Look for the OT Kaipo.

== Reliability of sprites? ==

Just an odd question; are the shiny sprites for each Pokémon completely legitimate?

== Pokemon Stadium ==

This says they could have "slightly" different colors. xD That made me laugh. The color variations in Stadium and (especially) Stadium 2 could be anywhere from miniscule to OUTRAGEOUS. I swear on Tajiri's grave I had a female Nidoran (actually Spot, from the boy south of Cerulean) who throughout her life looked male on Stadium 2. As a Nidoqueen, this became far worse than ever before, as she became a perfect shade of Nidoking purple with the teal ears, and a lighter creamy pastel teal for her face/torso accents. x3 Spot was awesome, lol. Incidentally, as the same NidoranF could be obtained on any Red or Blue, I tried it with a couple different game paks and never got another with her colors.

Poliwag were another one that was awesome. Typically for me, their skin ranged from teal to bright purple, while their lips could be any color of the rainbow. xD I had two full boxes on Stadium 2 of stored Poliwag just seeing how many different ones I could find. x3 Man, good ol' Stadium, neh?

== Ho-Oh Error ==

"The first Pokémon with its official alternate coloration seen was also the first Generation II Pokémon to be seen, a Ho-Oh seen by Ash in the first episode."

This sentence, from the way I read it, seems to claim that the first shiny Pokémon in the anime to match its alternate coloration in the games is the Ho-Oh in the first episode. Correction: Ho-Oh was covered entirely in a golden aura; We have no way of telling whether this is actually an alternate coloration or not. While one could argue that the colors we do see are not the same as its regular colors in-game, the depicted coloration isn't identical to its "official" shiny form either. It's just a Ho-Oh with a fully golden appearance due to the aura surrounding it. [[User:Marlowe|Marlowe]] 03:42, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

There was a blue one in Giratina and the Sky Warrior.
And no, it wasn't JUST the filter. It was the Toxicroak's coloration.

::Ah, this isn't objective proof, however. If the Toxicroak was in a normal appearance, and not floating around under idle showcasing for points unknown, there could be an argument (but no, not really). Instead, I can point out that the color filter does make some of the pokémon look off-color. That Bibarel just before is practially ''rosy'' compared to its normal brown, and Bonsly is a faint gold-green instead of its normal brown (not that I'm saying Toxicroak is affected by this; the difference would have been slighter and not several shades removed). That, and there's no way of saying that neither production teams didn't take liberties: series folk made its normal form with the shiny variation, and movie folk either ignored that or didn't realize and used its normal colors as they should be.

::Again, this isn't proof. At all. You're looking for ordinary coloring in the series.

== Alternate coloration or shiny ==

Which is correct? Because by defenition, Alternate coloration means differently colored. Any Pokémon that's not it's original color should be in a page about '''DIFFERENTLY COLORED ''' Pokémon. Shiny is the unaverage coloration of a Pokémon in a Pokémon game, if im not mistaken.

== Shiny egg sent to a different game ==

If Shinyness it determined by personality value and trainer/secret ID what happens if you bred a shiny egg in one game, reset the game to before it hatched and traded to another game. The Pokémon will have a new OT so would the game recalculate it's shinyness based on the new trainer/secret ID or will it remember it was shiny in the other game and therefore hatch shiny? [[User:Jmvb|Jmvb]] 16:39, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
:It recalculates, since the Shiny condition is determined by the {{tt|OT's|hatching Trainer's}} Trainer & Secret IDs, and then the personality value.

:Unlike most others, I might know the reason to this. While I don't know how it works in the Generation II games, I know how it works in the Gen III games, and it should hypothetically work in a similar way in the Gen II games. Anyways, due to the data structure in those games, a sprite can oly have accessibility to a certain, preprogrammed combination of 16 colors at a time. Due to this, there are over 1500 (!) combinations of colors possible, for each sprite, and also has the positions of their colors possible. While the data normally gives the Pokémon, upon first encounter, it gives them combination #596, the normal color, with a slight chance of combination #597, the alternate color, appearing. If the game is hacked or cheated to let a Pokémon of another combination appear it will, ofcourse, appear in that color. Hypothetically, it should work in a similar way in the Gen II games. If so, there's a possibility is that they added all thos colors to Stadium to prevent crashing the game if that Pokémon would be sent to it. - ''unsigned comment from {{u|Pokémon Lover King Mario}} ([[User talk:Pokémon Lover King Mario|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Pokémon Lover King Mario|contribs]]) ''

If it is shiny then the text in it summary should be yellow instead of white, there will also be a short animation after being sent into battle. It should also be noted on this page that some shiny pokemon are completely different than in the main games, for example I have a shiny Heracross that is blue with darker coloured eyes & a pink stomach as opposed to main games shiny Heracross which are pink all over with normal eyes, Voltorb is also a different, being very very dark blue (almost black) with a light blue base, while shiny Electrode is no different to those in the main games. [[User:Vuvuzela2010|Vuvuzela2010]] 21:06, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
--Also I thought I should add that Shadow Lugia & Bonsly do not have shiny forms in XD, if they are made to be shiny with cheats or that 1 in 1000000 chance of being shiny they will still have the shiny animation but they will not appear any different & their battle pictures & box sprites & purification set animations will be the same, though Shadow Lugia will become appear shiny when purified. While Munchlax can be hacked, it dosent have any of the above in its regular or shiny form & the game will crash if sent into battle.

The GTS tutorial at http://www.pokemon-gts.net/gtstutorial/en-US/ has a page about [[Masuda method]]. This page refers to Shiny Pokémon - is this the first time an official English source uses this term? (Go to Trading Pokémon over GTS, then GTS features, then page 5 to see the reference.)

I heard if you trade a Pokemon from a first generation game to a second generation game, or transfer a Pokemon from a first generation game to Stadium 2, they might appear as shiny.

== Gen V Pokedex note ==

Under the header "Generations III, IV, and V", it says: ''"In Generation V, Pokémon in the Pokédex will appear Shiny if the first specimen of that Pokémon encountered is Shiny."'' This is only partly true. The Pokémon that displays on the main page of your Pokédex is, ''by default'', the first specimen that you encountered. So, for example, if you meet a male Frillish and then a female Jellicent (as I did), then you will have a blue Frillish followed by a pink Jellicent. However, you can change what Pokémon is displayed. So if it bothers you to have a blue Frillish followed by a Pink Jellicent (as it bothered me), you can fix it so both entries are pink or both entries are blue (alternately you can show off your shinies, set entries to non-shiny, etc.). Here are the steps for changing what Pokémon is displaye on the main page of your Pokédex:
1 -- Go into your Pokédex and find the Pokémon whose sprite you want to change.
2 -- Click (A). This should take you to a page where, along the bottom, there are 4 buttons that read: (INFO)(AREA)(CRY)(FORMS)
3 -- Click left on the D-pad and then (A).
4 -- If you have encountered more than 1 form of the Pokémon, then there should now be 2 sprites next to each other. If you have encountered 3 or more forms, you can press left and right to see more forms.
5 -- When you find the sprite you want to be displayed on the main page of the Pokédex, press (A) once more. This should cause the sprites to swap places.
6 -- Press (B) twice.
7 -- Marvel at your beautified Pokédex!
I'm timid about editing the page directly, but hopefully someone else will be able to use this information to decide what to do about that note.

== Unobtainable Shinies ==

I was thinking that we could add a section to the page that lists all the Pokémon in each generation that can not be obtained in their shiny forms without cheating. For example, the only way to legitimately get an Arceus is through events (since the Azure Flute was never distibuted) and the event Arceus all had shiny checks so we could list Arceus under Gens 4 and 5. And if certain ones are only available shiny in certain games or under certain conditions we could put an asterisk that shows the info when you point to it.

:::::: To PKMNchmp5 - If Celebi is listed under Gen IV/V Mew should be also as it's in the same boat as Celebi (only available from a third gen Japanese game). Though if it's true what someone said about Hayley mew being able to be shiny then that changes things. What would be really good to have here is an explanation of what event pokemon can/can't be shiny and why, as there's a lot of confusion on the internet about this. For example it should include answers to questions like: Can Colosseum bonus disk pokemon be shiny? What tickets have been released in what regions? Can ranch pokemon be shiny? Can 2nd/3rd/4th gen distributions be shiny?

:::::: Anyone agree? [[User:Jmvb|Jmvb]] 01:05, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
:::::::Well, if you can get a Shiny Mew and Celebi in Generation III, even if it's only in a Japanese game, you can trade it to a non-Japanese game in all games from Gen III onwards, so those don't need a note. I don't think Haley's Pokémon can be Shiny, and Shininess is visible in Ranch. For all Pokémon event distributions from Generation III onwards, a Pokémon is either always Shiny or never Shiny - it cannot randomly be either. In Generation II, where Shininess is based on IVs, I have heard that people found that each machine had a different set of IVs, meaning that they are preset. While it would be possible for a machine to distribute a Pokémon that is Shiny, I assume that they would ensure the machines do not distribute Shiny Pokémon. However, while Generation I used the same distribution method with each machine having set IVs, Shininess did not exist so it is possible that they could have unknowingly distributed future Shiny Pokémon. If anyone did get a [[List of Nintendo event Pokémon in Generation I|Gen I event]] that turned out Shiny, please let us know. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 05:08, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

==Is shiny Mew unobtainable in Gen II?==
Couldn't you get a legit Mew from a Gen I event that just so happened to pass the shiny checks and so appears shiny when transferred to a Gen II game? I doubt they would have had shiny checks on the Mews given out back then seeing as shiny pokemon didn't exist yet. I know that chances of this happening are extremely low but I don't think it zero. I'm not sure how many Mews in Gen I were given away but surely this happened at least once somewhere around the world. Probably by some kid who never realised he owned the rarest pokemon of that generation [[User:Jmvb|Jmvb]] 00:28, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

:I'm pretty sure the Time Machine worked more like a trade. Besides, shininess is determined when a Pokémon is generated and a Pokémon transfered through Pal Park or the Poké Transfer don't change their shiny status so I don't think that Mew could change from normal to Shiny. [[User:PkmnChmp5|PkmnChmp5]] 03:42, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

:Do 1-[(1365/1366)^X]=a big long decimal. Plug in the number of eggs you have hatched for X, and the percent of one of them being shiny will be the decimal times 100.

I believe other GBA event PID type Jirachis (negaiboshi? etc) that have GBA-(Un)Restricted or whatever could have been shiny possible because the GBA doesn't have shiny prevention; however they were probably just weeded on the distribution carts just like MYSTRY Mew (we have a save file of a MYSTRY distro cart).

== G/S/C vs Pokemon Stadium 2 differences ==

So, I noticed that there are frequently (but not always) differences between pokemon shinyness in gold/silver/crystal compared to stadium 2. For example, my Shiny Eeevee is blue in both, but when it evolves into Umbreon, it's stripes turn blue in Crystal, but flash between Red and Green in Stadium.

Is there a list somewhere of all gameboy to stadium shiny differences, and if not, may I add it to the page should I ever come across such a list?

Evolution stone

[[File:Branched evolution.png|thumb|250px|right|Gloom's [[List of Pokémon with branched evolutions|branched]] [[evolution family]] as demonstrated in the anime: both of Gloom's potential evolutions require an evolutionary stone.]]
An '''evolutionary stone''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|進化の石|しんかのいし}}''' ''Evolution stone'') is a stone-like [[item]] that radiates a mysterious energy that causes some [[Pokémon (species)|species of Pokémon]] to [[Evolution|evolve]].

Another stone, the Everstone, is different in that radiates a type of energy that prevents evolution in the holders; however, if a Pokémon holding the Everstone has an evolutionary stone used on it, it will still evolve.

Evolutionary stones may be used at any time, and cause instant evolution in the Pokémon they are used on, which cannot be canceled. With the exception of the Everstone, which must be held for its effects to take place, all evolutionary stones are applied directly to the Pokémon. All stones that cause evolution in a Pokémon are consumed upon that Pokémon's evolution.

The use of a stone is seen by many to be "forced" evolution, especially by the main characters of the anime, as the Pokémon is not in charge of its own transformation. Many Pokémon that result from a stone-based evolution also have vastly different [[level]]-up [[move|learnset]]s than their pre-evolutionary forms, with several learning no moves after evolution at all.

==In the anime==
[[File:Large Moon Stone.png|thumb|200px|A giant Moon Stone.]]
Evolutionary stones are showcased somewhat rarely in [[Pokémon anime|the anime]], as only a relative few Pokémon are able to evolve by using them. Despite this, they were among the earliest of items to have been showcased in the anime, appearing as early as ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]'', where a rather large Moon Stone appeared deep within [[Mt. Moon]]. It was being worshipped by a group of {{p|Clefairy}} who lived there, and was soon stolen by Team Rocket and ended up being blown up. The shards from it, however, rained down on the Clefairy and caused some of them to evolve into {{p|Clefable}}. It is also speculated in the anime that the Moon Stone was the reason why and how various Pokémon—Clefairy in particular—arrived in the Pokémon world.

The second appearance of an evolutionary stone occurred in ''[[EP014|The Electric Shock Showdown]]'', where the Thunderstone was introduced. This was likewise the first opportunity that a Pokémon belonging to a main character was given to evolve by stone. [[Ash's Pikachu]], however, refused the offer, intending to beat [[Lt. Surge]]'s {{TP|Lt. Surge|Raichu}} as a Pikachu. He kept the Thunderstone on hand, in case Pikachu ever wanted to evolve; however, in ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'', the same scenario occurred and Pikachu still refused to evolve. Seeing his determination of not evolving, {{TRT}} stole it, planning to sell it.

The remaining Generation I evolutionary stones made their debut in ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]'', as part of a collection held by the [[Eevee brothers]]. Additionally, two of the Eevee brothers offered a Fire Stone and Thunderstone to [[Brock]] and {{Ash}}, respectively, to evolve their {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}} and Pikachu, though both refused.

A forest that appeared in ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]'', was a reported hotbed of Leaf Stones, and the radiation from these stones in the forest was so strong as to induce evolution in [[Melvin]]'s {{p|Exeggcute}}, which proceeded to cause chaos by hypnotizing a horde of other Exeggutor.

A fake Leaf Stone, made by Team Rocket, appeared in ''[[EP068|Make Room for Gloom]]'', where the discovery of its nature as a fake was central to the episode.

A real Leaf Stone finally appeared at the very end of ''[[PK04|Pikachu's Rescue Adventure]]''. With it, the {{p|Exeggcute}} that had been following [[Misty's Togepi]] around evolved into {{p|Exeggutor}}.

Ash won a Sun Stone in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] during ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]'', later using it to evolve a {{p|Sunkern}} in ''[[EP187|Moving Pictures]]''.

Fire Stones played an important role in ''[[EP190|The Stolen Stones!]]'', where they were intended to be delivered to a stadium to be used as a prize for competitors there.

Both the Leaf Stone and Sun Stone appear in ''[[EP239|Whichever Way the Wind Blows]]'' as a demonstration of the [[List of Pokémon with branched evolutions|branch]] in {{p|Gloom}}'s [[List of Pokémon by evolution family|evolutionary line]].

The Water Stone appears in ''[[AG105|Once in a Mawile]]'' and is used by Brock's Lombre to evolve into {{TP|Brock|Ludicolo}}. This is the first time that a main character's Pokémon evolves via an evolutionary stone on-screen, although it is likely that [[James's Weepinbell]] was evolved by way of a Leaf Stone prior to ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]''.

A Moon Stone appeared in a flashback in ''[[AG060|Delcatty Got Your Tongue?]]'', evolving [[Dr. Abby]]'s Skitty into a Delcatty.

In ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love!]]'', {{an|Dawn}} gave an Everstone to her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} to prevent him from evolving until he wants to.

{{an|Professor Oak}} gave a Water Stone to a wild Lombre in ''[[DP139|A Faux Oak Finish!]]'', while a Dusk Stone was central to the plot of ''[[DP148|Try for the Family Stone!]]''.

[[Ursula]] used a Fire Stone and a Water Stone to evolve her two Eevee in ''[[DP174|Last Call, First Round!]]'', making them a Flareon and Vaporeon, for use in the Grand Festival.

Ash had to find a Thunderstone as part of a scavenger hunt in ''[[BW069|Climbing the Tower of Success!]]''. He came across a young man in possession of one who tried to toss it to him from a long distance. The Thunderstone nearly came in contact with Pikachu but he jumped out of the way just in time leaving Ash to catch it.

Evolutionary stones do not seem to be required for evolution in the anime as they are in the games. [[List of Pokémon temporarily owned by Team Rocket#Victreebel|James's second Weepinbell]] evolved without a Leaf Stone in ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid]]'', though this may just be an example of [[anime physics]]. In addition, Pokémon that evolve via proximity of evolutionary stones apparently seem to control their evolutionary urges and physically touch the stone without evolving, as evidenced by Pikachu whacking away the Thunderstone when refusing to evolve the first time, as well as a Clefairy holding onto a Moon Stone for prolonged periods of time before delivering it to the larger Moon Stone without evolving.

==In the manga==
===In [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga===
In ''[[ET03|Clefairy Tale]]'', {{Ash}}, [[Professor Oak]], and [[Bill]] witness a {{p|Clefairy}} evolution ceremony involving a large Moon Stone.

The focus of the chapter ''[[ET06|To Evolve or Not to Evolve, That Is the Question!]]'' is evolutionary stones. {{an|Misty}} hopes to buy a Water Stone for her {{TP|Misty|Poliwhirl|Politoed}} in [[Stone Town]], a town on Dream Island where all the evolutionary stones in the Pokémon world come from. However, she cannot afford one, remarking that an inexpensive one might make the evolution go bad.

She is later given a Water Stone by [[Mikey]], who is being pressured to join the Knights of the "E" Stone, a club which requires members to own a Pokémon evolved by an evolutionary stone. By battling club members, {{Ash}} and Mikey prove to the leaders that Pokémon which have evolved by evolutionary stone are not necessarily superior to their unevolved counterparts.

===In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga===
In the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}, a Moon Stone is first mentioned by {{adv|Professor Oak}} in ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'' as a rock with a crescent moon-shaped indentation that boosts a Pokémon's power immensely. In the next round, ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]'', [[Team Rocket]] searches for one in [[Mt. Moon]], however it is {{adv|Red}} who finds it. Later on, Red uses this Moon Stone to evolve {{adv|Green}}'s {{p|Clefairy}} during the [[Silph Co.]] catastrophe. Additionally, [[Poli|Red's Poliwhirl]] was able to evolve into a {{p|Poliwrath}} with the help of a Water Stone when they were thrown in the water.

In the {{chap|Yellow}}, {{adv|Yellow}} finds a Leaf Stone in Vermilion Harbor in ''[[PS058|The Kindest Tentacruel]]'', but the Fire, Thunder, and Water Stones are missing. Later, it is revealed {{adv|Giovanni}} gave them to Red so he could evolve and devolve his Eevee freely.

In the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}, {{adv|Gold}}'s [[Gold (Adventures)#Sunbo|Sunkern]] evolves into a {{p|Sunflora}} in ''[[PS172|The Last Battle VI]]'' because the sun's energy reflected off of the rocks near [[Ilex Forest]] replicated the Sun Stone's effects.

In the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}, {{adv|Ruby}}'s [[Kiki|Skitty]] evolves into a {{p|Delcatty}} in ''[[PS194|VS. Mawile]]'' due to being exposed to one of {{Steven}}'s Moon Stones.

===In the [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]] manga===
In ''[[DPA19|(Violent) Earthquake! Cyrus's Consuming Ambition!!]]'', it is revealed that [[Mitsumi]] secretly attached an Everstone to [[Hareta]]'s [[Hareta's Empoleon|Piplup]] before he started his journey. She thought Hareta would learn faster with weaker Pokémon, and removed it. Piplup immediately evolved into {{p|Prinplup}}, then into {{p|Empoleon}}.

==In the TCG==
The Moon Stone and Dusk Stone are featured in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] on a {{TCG|Trainer card}} and on Pokémon cards as held items. These held items work in the same fashion as Poké-Bodies, in that the effect the item provides is active whenever the Pokémon is in play. The following is a list of cards named or including Moon Stone or Dusk Stone.

==Trivia==
* Of all {{cat|Pokémon that evolve by evolutionary stone}}, only {{p|Eevee}} and {{p|Gloom}} can use multiple ones; together they can use any of the stones introduced in Generation I or II except for the Moon Stone.
* Only four Pokémon that evolve by stone can evolve using another method: {{p|Poliwhirl}}, {{p|Eevee}}, {{p|Kirlia}}, and {{p|Snorunt}}.
* Only {{type|Grass}} Pokémon evolve using the Leaf Stone and Sun Stone, and all of the Pokémon that evolve using the Sun Stone evolve into pure Grass types.
** Simisage is the only Pokémon evolved via Leaf Stone which is not dual-typed.
* The {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Oval Stone}} is sometimes considered an evolutionary stone, and can even be selected to be used like one. However, unlike other evolutionary stones, the Oval Stone does not trigger evolution in any Pokémon when it is used on them. It must instead be held and the Pokémon leveled up, making it an [[evolution-inducing held item]].
* All Pokémon that evolve with the Fire Stone are in the {{egg3|Field}}, and all the Pokémon that evolve with the Sun Stone are in the {{egg3|Grass}}.
* Through {{DL|List of glitches in Generation I|Evolutionary stone glitch|a glitch}} in the Generation I games, Pokémon can be evolved without the use of a stone, provided that the player has sent out the correct Pokémon in the same battle that a Pokémon that evolves using a stone levels up.
* The Dawn Stone induces evolution in only two Pokémon species, {{p|Kirlia}} and {{p|Snorunt}}, the fewest of any stone. Both of them only work if the Pokémon is of a specific gender.
** This also makes it currently the only stone that only evolves Pokémon introduced in a single generation, as Kirlia and Snorunt were both introduced in [[Generation III]].
** Both of the evolved forms from the Dawn Stone gain a secondary type.
** It is also the only stone not to gain a new use in [[Generation V]].
* As of [[Generation V]], the Fire Stone is the only one not used in a three-stage evolutionary line.
* The {{wp|Sunstone|Sun Stone}} and {{wp|Moonstone (gemstone)|Moon Stone}} share their names with actual {{wp|gemstones}}.
* [[Generation III]] and [[Generation V]] are the only generations in which an evolutionary stone is not introduced.
** Both these generations introduced a new Pokémon to evolve with Leaf Stone, Water Stone, and Moon Stone.
* Though six Pokémon families evolve with the Moon Stone, only the four introduced in [[Generation I]] can be readily caught in a {{ball|Moon}}, since Moon Balls can be acquired only from [[Kurt]] in [[Azalea Town]].
* The Leaf Stone is the only evolutionary stone that cannot be sold to the {{DL|Item maniac|ore maniac}} in {{2v2|Black|White}}; this was corrected in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}.

'''Ash's Oshawott''' (Japanese: '''サトシのミジュマル''' ''Satoshi's Mijumaru'') is the second {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} obtained in the [[Unova]] region.

==History==
[[File:Juniper Oshawott.png|240px|thumb|left|Oshawott's debut appearance]]
Oshawott originally belonged to [[Professor Juniper]], as one of the three [[starter Pokémon]] a new [[Pokémon Trainer]] could choose. Ash thought he was cute when he was sent out in ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'', when [[Trip]] had to decide between the three starters. Oshawott was extremely shocked when Trip chose {{p|Snivy}}, but quickly got over it and started taking interest in Ash; observing him but staying out of sight, and to the point that he left Professor Juniper's lab to follow him.

Oshawott appeared again in ''[[BW002|Enter Iris and Axew]]'' and used his [[scalchop]] to rescue [[Ash's Pikachu]] and [[Iris's Axew]] from the clutches of [[Team Rocket trio|Team Rocket]]. He later battled [[Jessie's Woobat]] briefly before Team Rocket escaped.

Eventually, Oshawott expressed interest in traveling with Ash and convinced Ash to take him along on his journey in ''[[BW003|A Sandile Gusher of Change!]]''. Ash only realized that he was Professor Juniper's Oshawott when he failed to capture him in a new [[Poké Ball]], and had to obtain a worried Professor Juniper's approval to allow Oshawott to travel with him and to request for Oshawott's Poké Ball. She permitted Oshawott to travel with Ash, but Oshawott had disappeared by the time Ash received his Poké Ball. After nearly falling into boiling hot water, Ash saved Oshawott by successfully returning him to his Poké Ball.

Oshawott was then used against Ash's Gym battle with {{an|Cilan}} and went up against {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}} in ''[[BW005|Triple Leaders, Team Threats!]]''. Oshawott's inexperience, slow speed, and clumsiness put him at a disadvantage during the battle. However, Ash's quick thinking managed to win them the match when Oshawott managed to deflect {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}}'s {{m|Bullet Seed}} and ultimately {{m|SolarBeam}} with his scalchop in ''[[BW006|Dreams by the Yard Full!]]''. During that decisive match for the {{Badge|Trio}}, he subsequently used his scalchop in a {{m|Razor Shell}} attack to defeat {{an|Cilan}}'s Pansage, earning Ash the victory.

Oshawott was revealed to be male when he battled a wild female {{AP|Snivy}} that would be caught by Ash in ''[[BW007|Snivy Plays Hard to Catch!]]''. He became infatuated when hit by Snivy's {{m|Attract}}, and was eventually recalled.

[[File:Ash and Oshawott.png|240px|thumb|right|Ash and Oshawott]]
In ''[[BW010|A Rival Battle for Club Champ!]]'', he was used to fight against [[Trip]]'s {{p|Tranquill}}. He was defeated by two quick and consecutive hits of {{m|Aerial Ace}}, due to Tranquill's {{a|Super Luck}} Ability, which increased Tranquill's chance of inflicting critical hits.

In ''[[BW015|The Battle According to Lenora!]]'', he battled [[Lenora]] and her {{p|Watchog}} after her {{p|Lillipup}}'s {{m|Roar}} pulled him onto the battlefield, to his surprise. Despite fighting well and making use of his scalchop as a shield again, he was defeated by a powerful {{m|Thunderbolt}} after Watchog separated him from his scalchop. In ''[[BW016|Rematch at the Nacrene Gym!]]'', Oshawott trained with Ash in the [[Battle Club]] to increase their speed and power. They trained in a wave pool and after Iris's Axew messed with the controls, Oshawott learned {{m|Aqua Jet}}, but had trouble with hitting the target. He battled Watchog again in Ash's rematch with Lenora after being pulled into battle again by Roar. He still showed some difficulty in controlling Aqua Jet, but he managed to hit Watchog on his third try. Unfortunately, he also knocked himself out in the process after taking a lot of damage from Watchog's Thunderbolt and {{m|Confuse Ray}} attacks, leaving [[Ash's Tepig]] to battle Lenora's {{p|Herdier}} alone.

In ''[[BW024|Emolga the Irresistible!]]'', Oshawott developed a crush on a wild {{TP|Iris|Emolga}}. When she used {{m|Attract}} on [[Bianca's Minccino]], Oshawott voluntarily jumped in the attack's path so he could get hit with it instead. Later on, he decided to go up against a group of {{p|Swoobat}} to protect Emolga. However, he was soon defeated by a powerful {{m|Charge Beam}}. On both occasions, Ash was forced to recall Oshawott to his Poké Ball. Later in ''[[BW025|Emolga and the New Volt Switch!]]'' he valiantly protected Emolga and Axew from some wild Watchog and retrieved them an apple each, however, a wild {{p|Simisear}} knocked him out, despite Emolga hardly caring.

[[File:Oshawott no scalchop.png|thumb|240px|left|Oshawott without his scalchop]]
In ''[[BW028|Oshawott's Lost Scalchop!]]'' Oshawott battled against [[Stephan]]'s {{p|Blitzle}}, where his scalchop ended up getting kicked out of his hands and off into the distance. Horrified, Oshawott chased after it but, alas, he could not find it. After many failed substitutes, [[Cilan's Dwebble]] crafted a new scalchop out of a nearby rock but it ended up being too big and too heavy for Oshawott. Ash then trained him, giving Oshawott the strength to carry the new scalchop. Unfortunately, it ended up being destroyed during a rematch with Blitzle, but Oshawott turned out to be much faster because of all the training and was able to defend himself without a scalchop. He soon defeated Blitzle with a lucky-shot {{m|Aqua Jet}} that sent them both crashing into a boulder. After the battle, Axew found the missing scalchop in the forest and returned it to Oshawott.

In ''[[BW031|Ash and Trip's Third Battle!]]'', Ash sent out Oshawott to battle Trip's {{p|Timburr}}. Ash commanded Oshawott to use Aqua Jet, which went out of control again. When Oshawott tried the move again, Trip took pictures of him. Trip called a time-out and then showed Ash pictures of Oshawott's face, and revealed that Oshawott's eyes were closed whenever he used it. Trip suggested that was why Oshawott had so much trouble controlling Aqua Jet. The battle resumed, and while both Pokémon used their "weapons" to full extent, Oshawott won out over Timburr using Razor Shell. Following Trip's advice, Ash trained Oshawott to open his eyes under water in ''[[BW032|Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open!]]''. Oshawott was at a major disadvantage to a group of {{p|Tympole}} that attacked him while his eyes were closed, eventually, Oshawott opened his eyes and scared off the Tympole. Later when battling the {{AP|Palpitoad}} that ordered the first attack, Oshawott executed a perfect Aqua Jet, defeating him and enabling Ash to catch him.

In ''[[BW058|A Call for Brotherly Love!]]'', Oshawott was used in a battle against [[Chili's Pansear]]. After Oshawott volunteered to battle with Pansear, Ash decided that it was a good idea, and the battle commenced. Although Oshawott battled well, hitting Pansear with several powerful {{m|Razor Shell}}s, Pansear proved to be too strong and defeated Oshawott with its newly learned {{m|SolarBeam}}.

In ''[[BW061|Battling the King of the Mines!]]'', Oshawott was used first in the battle against [[Clay]], being sent out to battle his {{p|Krokorok}}, having the type advantage. However, Oshawott was prevented from using his {{type|Water}} attacks by Krokorok's {{m|Sandstorm}}, getting sand in his eyes and impairing his vision. Ash was able to get Oshawott back on track by spinning around and using Water Gun, which stopped the Sandstorm and washed out Oshawott's eyes when it rained down on him. With his usual accuracy regained, Oshawott was able to defeat Krokorok. Next, he went up against Clay's {{p|Palpitoad}}, where his Water Gun was far outmatched by Palpitoad's {{m|Hydro Pump}}. Then after Oshawott was hit by a {{m|Sludge Bomb}} attack, he lost track of his scalchop, distracting him from the battle leading him to take a devastatingly powerful hit from {{m|Rock Smash}} and being defeated.

[[File:Dawn Piplup and Ash Oshawott.png|thumb|220px|Oshawott and his rival, Dawn's Piplup]]
In ''[[BW085|All for the Love of Meloetta!]]'' he met {{an|Meloetta}} and subsequently fell deeply in love with it. To his excitement he was left to watch over it, while Ash and Pikachu left to get more ice. From nowhere, Emolga, who had brought an Oran Berry for Meloetta, crashed into Oshawott and the two began fighting. They calmed down when Ash and co returned and Meloetta began to sing. subsequently in ''[[BW086|Piplup, Pansage, and a Meeting of the Times!]]'', he fell for [[Dawn's Buneary]], but soon forgot her when she embraced Pikachu and Meloetta revealed herself. When [[Dawn's Piplup]] fell for Meloetta just as Oshawott had before him, Oshawott attacked him with Aqua Jet, upset to see Piplup and Meloetta getting along, sparking a rivalry. In the [[BW087|next episode]], when the gang were surrounded by {{p|Onix}} and Meloetta appeared frightened, both he and Piplup heroically battled the Onix. Eventually, when surrounded by the Onix again, Oshawott learned {{m|Hydro Pump}} to fight them off. In ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]'', Oshawott confronted Piplup over Meloetta one more time before Piplup and {{an|Dawn}} left for [[Johto]], their contempt soon turned into sadness and they bid a teary farewell.

In ''[[BW096|Meloetta and the Undersea Temple!]]'', Oshawott was training with Pansage, which inspired Meloetta. After transforming into her Pirouette Forme, she insisted that she may train with Ash and Oshawott. However, intimidated and reluctant to fight the object of his affections, he refused to battle. In ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]'', Oshawott bid a teary and final farewell to Meloetta, at the aid of Pikachu's comfort.

In ''[[BW107|Cameron's Secret Weapon!]]'', Ash sent Oshawott out as his second Pokémon in his [[Vertress Conference]] battle against {{un|Cameron}} and his {{p|Hydreigon}}. Despite of the notable size difference, Oshawott proved to be a reasonable opponent for the Brutal Pokémon, right away scoring a hit with Aqua Jet. However, Hydreigon was able to avoid Oshawott's following Razor Shell before striking back with {{m|Dragon Pulse}}. Despite of the hit, Oshawott went on with another Razor Shell, which eventually hit one of Hydreigon's heads. Using the moment it took from Hydreigon to recover from the hit as his advantage, Oshawott used Hydro Pump, which scored a direct hit on the Brutal Pokémon. Hydreigon then fires a {{m|Tri Attack}}, which Oshawott is unable to block, taking more damage. Oshawott fights back with Tackle, but his following third attempt for Razor Shell was countered by Hydreigon's {{m|Double Hit}}, which was then followed by a {{m|Dragon Rush}}, finally defeating the Sea Otter Pokémon.

In ''[[BW111|There's a New Gym Leader in Town!]]'', Oshawott volunteered himself to battle [[Cheren]]'s {{p|Herdier}}. Oshawott's Hydro Pump attack was dodged easily by his opponent and his Tackle was overpowered by {{m|Take Down}}. Though Oshawott was able to block Herdier's {{m|Thunder Fang}} with Razor Shell, Cheren and Herdier were able to outsmart him and knock away his scalchop, distracting him before he was hit by a super effective Thunder Fang and got knocked out.

In [[BW121]], Oshawott was sent out alongside the rest of Ash's team to help Ash and {{an|N}} dig up to the surface of the [[White Ruins]] after they had fallen into a pit. While battling Team Plasma, Oshawott dealt massive damage to two controlled {{p|Golurk}} with his Hydro Pump attack. However, when Colress turned his mind control machine on them, Oshawott was quickly recalled to his Poké Ball along with Ash's other Pokémon, save for Pikachu.

In [[BW126]], Oshawott competed in the [[Scalchop King Playoff tournament]] on [[Hotachi Island]]. He had a rivalry with Caesar, a {{p|Dewott}} owned by [[Quattro]], as both fell in love with Mijuka, who was the Scalchop Queen of the island. Both competitors made it to the final round of the tournament, where they battled against each other. After a long battle, Oshawott managed to defeat Caesar. Despite Oshawott's win, Mijuka rejected him in favor of Caesar. Oshawott's scalchop broke soon after, disqualifying him from the tournament.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Oshawott avoiding.png|thumb|240px|Oshawott trying to avoid a battle]]
Oshawott's behavior is similar in a way to many of Ash's past Pokémon, notably {{AP|Aipom}} and [[Ash's Bayleef]] as a {{p|Chikorita}}, often attention-seeking and sometimes interfering. This was first shown in ''[[BW003|A Sandile Gusher of Change!]],'' when he wanted to travel with Ash, he jealously knocked Pikachu off Ash's shoulders and pretended that he was as close as Ash was to Pikachu. Then, when Ash was at the Pokémon [[Battle Club]] in ''[[BW004|The Battle Club and Tepig's Choice!]]'' battling another Trainer, he came out of his [[Poké Ball]], even though Ash had already clearly chosen Pikachu. However, he promptly changed his mind to battle when he realized that his opponent was {{p|Dewott}}, a Pokémon of his own evolved form. He has done this many other times, which also shows that Oshawott loves to battle, but only against opponents Oshawott thinks he can win against.

Oshawott acts proud and is a little boastful, but sometimes he can't back it up. He acts a little dramatic when things go wrong, or when he doesn't get his way. Like Ash's Aipom again, he seems to be a bit hyperactive. Oshawott also takes care of his scalchop, as he panics whenever he loses it and when he threw it down in anger in ''[[BW020|Dancing With the Ducklett Trio!]]'', he was happy afterwards when he picked it up and found out he hadn't done any major damage to it. He also gets very angry when someone steals his scalchop, as shown in ''[[BW017|Scraggy-Hatched to be Wild!]]'', when [[Ash's Scraggy]] took his scalchop. He is also shown to be quite lazy sometimes, as shown in ''[[BW015|The Battle According to Lenora!]]'', when he didn't want to battle Lenora's Watchog after just being sent out by {{m|Roar}}. He also seems to be a little flirtatious, as seen in ''[[BW024|Emolga the Irresistible!]]'', where he fell in love with a wild {{TP|Iris|Emolga}} and in ''[[BW044|Purrloin: Sweet or Sneaky?]]'', where he fell in love with a {{p|Purrloin}} that he thought was female. In ''[[BW051|Lost at the Stamp Rally!]]'', he was enamoured with the dancers at a [[Pokémon Musical]], wandering down to the stage, despite Ash telling him not to. He was briefly in love with a {{p|Vanilluxe}} during ''[[BW081|Crisis at Ferroseed Research!]]'', until she froze his head. He also fell for a {{an|Meloetta}} in ''[[BW085|All for the Love of Meloetta!]]''. In [[BW086|the following episode]], he was enamoured by [[Dawn's Buneary]], until he found out she liked Pikachu. He would always get very jealous whenever another Pokémon is flirting with the Pokémon he likes as seen when {{MTR}} fell in love with Purrloin and [[Dawn's Piplup]] flirts with Meloetta.

He is also shown to be quite gluttonous, occasionally stealing food from friends and strangers. He mostly did this to {{AP|Pignite}} beginning in ''[[BW004|The Battle Club and Tepig's Choice!]]'' when Pignite was a Tepig and continued even after Tepig evolved. This type of action even started a rivalry between the two Unova starters in ''[[BW066|Baffling the Bouffalant!]]'' and ''[[BW098|Beauties Battling for Pride and Prestige!]]'' when they started fighting. Other instances included when Oshawott was eating berries belonging to Beartic and Cubchoo in ''[[BW046|The Beartic Mountain Feud!]]'' and consuming some apples belonging to {{p|Garbodor}} and {{p|Trubbish}} in ''[[BW105|Lost at the League!]]''. He shows little hesitation in doing so and no regret afterwards, until he is caught, usually causing trouble for Ash and his other Pokémon.

'''Red's Pikachu''' (Japanese: '''レッドのピカチュウ''' ''Red's Pikachu'') is the sole [[starter Pokémon]] in {{game|Yellow}} for {{ga|Red}}; it is based on [[Ash's Pikachu]] from the [[Pokémon anime]], which Yellow Version is loosely based on. As of {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, it is the highest-leveled Trainer-owned Pokémon in the main series games.

==In the games==
===In Generation I===
[[File:Red Pikachu Yellow debut.png|thumb|left|Pikachu first appearing as a [[wild Pokémon]]]]
[[File:Pokémon Yellow shop worker.png|frame|right|Pikachu and Red traveling together]]
Pikachu first appears along the outskirts of {{rt|1|Kanto}}, where [[Professor Oak]] will encounter and {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it. The player receives Pikachu after they go into Professor Oak's laboratory and attempt to take the starter {{p|Eevee}}, which {{ga|Blue}} will take instead.

Pikachu replaces all of the other usual starter Pokémon, {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}}; although these three Pokémon can be received during events later in the game, which reflects how [[Ash Ketchum]] eventually obtained all three of Kanto's starters in the anime. This Pikachu is also the only Pikachu found in Yellow; other Pikachu must be [[trade]]d in from compatible games.

After battling against Blue for the first time, the Pikachu will choose to stay out of its [[Poké Ball]] and [[walking Pokémon|follow the player]] around unless it faints, is [[Pokémon Storage System|put into storage]], or is traded. If the player decides to speak to Pikachu, a small image of its current emotion will pop up. The image also shows how much the Pikachu [[friendship|likes]] the player. This makes Pokémon Yellow the first game to show Pokémon friendship, which would become more prominent in [[Generation II]]. Pikachu's friendship does not have many uses in the game, however it is vital if the player wishes to receive a Bulbasaur in [[Cerulean City]]. Besides showing Pikachu's emotions and friendship, the image can also show several other events, such as when Pikachu learns {{m|Thunderbolt}}.

Pikachu has several in-game events where it can show an emotion other than how happy it is. They include:
*If talked to right after obtaining it, it will turn its back to the player.
*If Pikachu is affected by a [[status ailment]], it will appear weak or in pain. If it is asleep, it will appear asleep when talked to.
**Playing the [[Poké Flute]] outside of battle will wake Pikachu up if it is asleep.
*If Pikachu has just learned Thunder or Thunderbolt, it may shock the player if talked to.
*In [[Pewter City]]'s Pokémon Center, there is a {{p|Jigglypuff}} that will {{m|Sing}} a lullaby if talked to. After listening to the Jigglypuff, Pikachu will fall asleep and not move unless awakened by the player. The center's nurse will also comment on Pikachu's sleeping if talked to, instead of healing the party. Until the player awakens Pikachu, it can't be deposited into the PC.
*When the player goes to [[Bill]]'s house and discovers that he has turned into a Pokémon, Pikachu will approach him and look confused. When he reappears in human form, Pikachu will appear to be shocked.
*If the player walks into the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] in [[Vermilion City]], Pikachu will approach a {{p|Clefairy}} and fall in love with it.
*If the player uses a fishing rod then checks Pikachu, it will appear to have a bait bucket over its head.
*If taken inside [[Pokémon Tower]], Pikachu will appear to be scared.
*If talked to right after catching a Pokémon, it will make a V with its fingers to represent victory.
*If talked to after losing a battle, Pikachu will appear disappointed in and unsure of its Trainer.
*If talked to after trying to give it a Thunderstone, Pikachu will shake its head in refusal.

Notably, like Ash's Pikachu [[EP014|did]] [[DP074|twice]], this Pikachu will refuse a {{evostone|Thunderstone}} given to it in Yellow, and not evolve into {{p|Raichu}} unless it is traded out of Yellow to do so. Raichu must be otherwise obtained by either trading in an already evolved one or trading in a Pikachu from another game.

Pikachu is also able to learn {{m|Surf}} if transferred into {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, and will be able to participate in the [[Surf Minigame]] if it knows the move. In battle, its animations are different from other Pikachu, and its voice is based on [[Ikue Ohtani]]'s as opposed to using Pikachu's normal cry.

If the starter Pikachu from Yellow is traded to Generation II, it will be holding a {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Light Ball}}.

====Starting moveset====
{{Pokémon/1
|game=Yellow
|ndex=025
|pokemon=Pikachu
|type1=Electric
|level=5
|move1=ThunderShock|move1type=Electric
|move2=Growl|move2type=Normal}}

===In Generation II===
Red can be battled in [[Mt. Silver]], with a level 81 Pikachu on his team. At the time, his Pikachu was the highest leveled Pokémon that could be battled in the main series. This Pikachu is likely to have been based on Red's Pikachu from Pokémon Yellow.
{{Pokémon/2
|game=Crystal
|ndex=025
|pokemon=Pikachu
|gender=male
|level=81
|type1=Electric
|move1=Charm|move1type=Normal
|move2=Quick Attack|move2type=Normal
|move3=Thunderbolt|move3type=Electric
|move4=Thunder|move4type=Electric}}

When brought into [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], the player's Pikachu from Yellow still has its lack of a normal Pikachu's cry.

===In Generation IV===
Red's challenge at Mt. Silver returns in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. He still uses Pikachu in these games; it is now level 88. This again makes it the highest level Trainer-owned Pokémon in the series, a title it lost to {{ga|Barry}}'s starter Pokémon on the release of {{game|Platinum}} only a year before.

In the final battle, it is holding a {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Light Ball}}, while it knows the four moves used by [[Ash's Pikachu]] most often prior to the release of the games.

===In Generation V===
Red can be battled in the [[Champions Tournament]] of [[Pokémon World Tournament]] in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}. He uses his Pikachu as his signature Pokémon once again in the battle, though it varies in gender.

==In the manga==
[[File:Pika.png|thumb|Pika]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Pika}}
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], a character named {{adv|Red}} owns a Pikachu named [[Pika]]. While Pika is not technically Red's actual [[starter Pokémon]], he is still one of Red's closest companions.

===In the Pocket Monsters HGSS Jou's Big Adventure manga===
Red's Pikachu appears at the end of ''[[JBA6|The True Road to Becoming the Strongest!!]]''.

==Trivia==
*In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, there is a park called [[Amity Square]] where players may walk around with a Pokémon following them. While only certain kinds of Pokémon may follow the player, Pikachu is one of the few and may reference Red's Pikachu in {{game|Yellow}}.
*Red's Pikachu likely inspired, at least partly, the concept of any Pokémon [[walking Pokémon|following the player outside its Poké Ball]] in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
*When battling against Red, Pikachu appears to come from inside his Poké Ball, contradicting his dislike of doing so in Pokémon Yellow.
*Although Pikachu initially resides inside of its Poké Ball until the player has battled with the rival for the first time in Pokémon Yellow, it still enters the first battle from outside of the Ball.
*Red's Pikachu is the only starter Pokémon that will not evolve unless it is sent to another game.

'''Leavanny''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ハハコモリ''' ''Hahakomori'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Grass}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Swadloon}} when [[level]]ed up with high [[friendship]]. It is the final form of {{p|Sewaddle}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Leavanny is a thin, yellow, humanoid Pokémon. It has a broad, split leaf around its head, similar to {{p|Sewaddle}}'s, and has long antennae which end in semi-circles. Its chest and legs are dark green and sectioned, making them appear armored. Their hands are leaf-like, with a "bite" taken out of each. Its arms are the "veins" to the leaves and are {{m|Leaf Blade|very}} {{m|X-Scissor|sharp}}. Leavanny uses its sharp arms and adhesive threads to create clothing for other Pokémon. Its large abdomen is covered by its leafy tail, making it appear as if it was wearing a dress or coat. Its appearance is also similar to that of a "praying mantis".

====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
Leavanny has cutters on its arms and can spit out sticky silk. It uses these abilities to create clothing made of leaves for small Pokémon, primarily {{p|Sewaddle}}, whose first sets of clothes are made by a Leavanny before it hatches.

===Behavior===
Leavanny are very parental. When it spots a small Pokémon, it will make clothes for it. It also warms its eggs with fermenting fallen leaves and makes swaddling blankets out of leaves for {{p|Sewaddle}}. It makes clothes for unhatched Sewaddle to wear after they hatch.

===Habitat===
Leavanny lives in forests.

==Trivia==

===Origin===
Leavanny appears to be based on both a bipedal {{wp|Phylliidae|Phylliidae}} and, like its prevolutions, is also based on the {{wp|Epargyreus clarus}} {{wp|caterpillar}}. Its leafy "dress", "collar", and "paned sleeve" arms may be based on a combination of both {{wp|1600–1650 in fashion|men and women's fashion in the early 1600's}}. Because of the way it acts towards smaller Pokémon and its baby {{p|Sewaddle}}, it could also be based on a {{wp|mother|human mother}} as well as a female {{wp|earwig}}. Its general body structure is also similar to that of a {{wp|Praying mantis}}. Considering the Pokémon is based on a praying mantis, it would likely bear traits with the {{wp|Choeradodis}} genus, the Pokémon sharing a distinguishing characteristic, a laterally expanded thorax and anterior.

====Name origin====
Leavanny is a combination of ''leaf'' or ''leaves'' and ''nanny''. It may also derive from ''{{wp|Levana}}'', the ancient Roman goddess of newborn babies.

Hahakomori may be a combination of 葉 ''ha'' (leaf), 母 ''haha'' (mother), and 子守 ''komori'' (babysitting).

==Trivia==

===Origin===
Swadloon is based on the {{wp|caterpillar}} of the {{wp|Epargyreus clarus}} during {{wp|chrysalis}}. Epargyreus clarus fold leaves over themselves for shelter as they age and, when cocooning, eventually use silk to stick the leaves together and form its chrysalis. The appearance of Swadloon hiding in its blanket bears some resemblance to the stereotypical portrayal of people suffering from {{wp|Hikikomori}} (acute social anxiety disorder) syndrome in Japanese media. Its evolution to {{p|Leavanny}} (whose Japanese name is two kana away from Hikikomori) being caused by [[friendship]] may also be a lesson.

====Name origin====
Swadloon may be a combination of ''swaddle'' (to wrap a baby in cloth) and ''cocoon''. It may also involve ''loom'' (a machine used to weave fabric) or ''pantaloons'' (a term for loose-fitting trousers).

Kurumayu may be a combination of 包む ''kurumu'' (to wrap up) and 繭 ''mayu'' (cocoon).

'''Karrablast''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カブルモ''' ''Kaburumo'') is a {{type|Bug}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Escavalier}} when [[trade]]d for a {{p|Shelmet}}, which evolves into {{p|Accelgor}} simultaneously. Neither evolves if at least one holds an {{DL|Evolutionary stone|Everstone}} during the trade.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Karrablast is a round-bodied, bipedal Pokémon with a primarily blue carapace that comprises a horn at the tip. Karrablast's face is black in coloration, with a teal patch on its forehead, a fanged mouth, and eyes with orange pupils and yellow scleras. Its ridged underbelly, or plastron, is yellow, and its stubby arms and legs are black.

====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
It can spew acidic liquid. It is also capable of using many physical techniques to overpower foes, such as {{m|X-Scissor}} and {{m|Double-Edge}}, although it is presumably restricted by its small size.

===Behavior===
When it senses danger, it spews an acidic liquid from its mouth. It targets {{p|Shelmet}}, presumably in order to evolve.

===Habitat===

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Juniper Karrablast.png|thumb|220px|Karrablast in the anime]]

===Minor appearances===

==Trivia==
*Karrablast and {{p|Shelmet}} are the only Pokémon that have to be [[trade]]d for a specific Pokémon to evolve, having to be traded for each other.

===Origin===
Karrablast and Escavalier seem to be based on the Japanese Snail-eating Beetle (''damaster blaptoides'') or the maimaikaburi due the fact they feed on snails and having a elongated head/thorax allowing it to get right up into the snail shell.

Karrablast and Shelmet may be a reference to ''{{wp|coevolution}}'', where the evolution of one species is influenced by changes in another, closely related species. In this case, the relationship between predators and their prey.

====Name origin====
Karrablast may be a combination of κέρατο ''kérato'' (Greek for ''horn'') and ''plastron'' (the underside or "belly" of a shelled creature). It may also be a corruption of ''Carabidae'', the family of {{wp|ground beetle}}s.

Kaburumo is derived from 噛りつく ''kaburitsuku'' (to bite into or stick to, referring its species name).

'''Sandile''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メグロコ''' ''Meguroco'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Dark}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Krokorok}} starting at [[level]] 29, which evolves into {{p|Krookodile}} starting at level 40.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Sandile is a primarily tan-colored, quadruped crocodilian Pokémon, having a long snout as typical of crocodilians, and a thick black stripe on the bridge. Sandile's eyes are round and sepia-colored, with a circular pattern of black around them stretching between each eye, giving the impression of an archetypal robber’s mask or a pair of glasses, with the ridges surrounding the eyes being large and protruding. This is in fact, a dark membrane that protects its eyes from the sun. Two thick black stripes are present down Sandile's back, stretching to its pink-colored underside and encompassing its tan-colored limbs, which sport three claws each that are also black; additionally, its tapered tail is tipped with the color.

====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
A dark membrane protects its eyes from the sun.

===Behavior===
Sandile burrow themselves, leaving only their eyes and nose unsubmerged, and move along the sand's surface.

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon have the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] as Sandile and its {{p|Krookodile|evolutionary}} {{p|Krokorok|relatives}}.

===Origin===
Sandile seems to be based on a {{wp|crocodile}}; it has traits from both the {{wp|slender-snouted crocodile}} and the {{wp|spectacled caiman}}. Its striped design is similar to a stereotypical burglar. Based on its Pokédex entry, it also seems to be inspired by a {{wp|Scincus scincus|sandfish}}, a desert skink that's able to "swim" through the sand.

====Name origin====
Sandile is a combination of ''{{wp|sand}}'' and ''{{wp|crocodile}}'' and also a play on ''sandal'', which is footwear used for walking on sand.

Meguroco may be a combination of 目黒 ''meguro'' (black-eyed) and ''crocodile''.

'''Darmanitan''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒヒダルマ''' ''Hihidaruma'') is a {{type|Fire}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Darumaka}} starting at [[level]] 35.

Darmanitan's [[Form differences#Darmanitan|appearance will change]] depending on its [[Ability]] and current [[Stats#Hit Points|HP]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Darmanitan is a mainly red, squat ape-like Pokémon. Darmanitan has long, bushy flame-colored eyebrows, curled at the beginning portions, and round, black-ringed eyes. The upper portion of its tan-colored face is separated from the lower portion by a diagonal stripe of red, and its large mouth sports spiked teeth. All these facial features give the impression of a manic or angered expression. Darmanitan's head has no discernible neck to distinguish it from the rest of the body and its rounded back, which culminates in a stubby tail. It has long arms with spiky hair fringes on the wrists and large tan-colored hands, with a similar arrangement for its hind limbs. Additionally, Darmanitan's underside sports a patterning of three tan-colored ovals.

====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
Under normal circumstances, Darmanitan are immensely strong physically; a single punch can destroy a dump truck.

Darmanitan with the ability {{a|Zen Mode}} have access to a second Form, when they have less than half of their health left. In this form, they turn blue and become more like a Daruma doll that's hard as a rock. They also gain {{t|Psychic}} as a secondary type. They experience an exchange in their {{stat|Special Attack}} and {{stat|Attack}} stats, their {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} almost double, and their {{stat|Speed}} sharply drops. In "Zen Mode" they fight using their spiritual and emotional strength, but they're completely physically immobile. However, they can still use physical moves.

===Behavior===
These Pokémon are normally very active and fight using both physical and emotional strength.

A Darmanitan in Zen Mode is completely immobile, so it uses its psychic powers in place of its arms in order to do things such as gather and eat food.

===Habitat===
Like its pre-evolution {{p|Darumaka}}, Darmanitan are indigenous to the [[Desert Resort]] in [[Unova]].

According to [[Professor Juniper]], the five {{a|Zen Mode}} Darmanitan in front of the [[Relic Castle]] have been sleeping there for 2,500 years. They wake up when given a [[RageCandyBar]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

When the tower started to break, Darmanitan stopped the loose bell from collapsing. However, due to fatigue, it transformed into its Zen Mode and used its {{m|Psychic}} to keep the bell in midair, while the Darumaka stole food to keep its energy up.

==Trivia==
* Darmanitan's Standard Mode has the highest base {{stat|Attack}} of all {{type|Fire}} Pokémon.
* Darmanitan's Zen Mode has the highest base {{stat|Special Attack}} of all non-{{pkmn2|legendary}} {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon.
* Zen Mode Darmanitan and [[Spiky-eared Pichu]] are the only Pokémon without individual Sugimori artwork, or even {{pkmn|Dream World}} art.

===Origin===
Darmanitan's physical appearance is based on an {{wp|ape}} and the {{wp|Daruma doll}}. It is also likely based on the the adage of the {{wp|three wise monkeys}}—"See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil"—as Darmanitan in their Zen Mode have their eyes become blank, their mouths shut tightly and their ears covered, sitting patiently in contrast to its bold posture in Standard Mode. Its Zen Mode may also be a reference to {{wp|Bodhidharma}}, achieving enlightenment.

====Name origin====
Darmanitan is a combination of ''{{wp|Daruma doll|Dharma}}'' (alternate spelling of ''daruma'') and ''{{wp|orangutan}}''. It may also involve ''titan''.

Hihidaruma is a combination of ヒヒ ''hihi'' (baboon) and ''Daruma'' and is a pun on 火達磨 ''hidaruma'' ("the state of being on fire").

'''Mareep''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メリープ''' ''Merriep'') is an {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Flaaffy}} starting at [[level]] 15, which evolves into {{p|Ampharos}} starting at [[level]] 30.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Mareep is a Pokémon with fluffy cream wool covering its entire body, as well as a curly tuft of wool in the middle of its head. Its head is blue, and it has black eyes with white pupils. Its {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a quadruped body|four feet}} are blue and have two digits on each foot, and it appears to be on tiptoe at all times. Its horns, presumed to be its ears, and tail have a yellow and black striped pattern. Mareep has an orange sphere at the end of its tail, which acts like a small light bulb.

====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
Mareep's wool stores electricity, rubbing together and building a static charge, and increases in volume when it builds up with electricity. Touching the wool when the wool is charged will result in a nasty static shock. The bulb at the end of Mareep's tail glows brighter the more electricity it has.

===Behavior===
Mareep tend to avoid battle in the wild and have mild dispositions. Mareep's fleece grows continually. In the summer, the fleece is fully shed, but it grows back in a week. Mareep also stores air in its soft fur, allowing it to stay cool in summer and warm in winter.

==Trivia==
* Though Mareep's primary color is stated to be white, it is mostly yellow and blue, and does not contain any large amount of white color.
** In addition, Mareep's colors changed twice in [[Generation IV]]. In {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, it's a bright yellow-ish color. In {{v2|Platinum}}, Mareep's hue is a mix of orange and yellow. In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the colors become a bit whiter, much brighter than {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.
** Its {{Shiny}} sprites maintain the same coloration throughout [[Generation IV]].

===Origin===
Mareep appears to be simply based on a {{wp|sheep}}. It is likely that its electric aspect and Ability comes from how wool builds up static charges and may also be based on the {{wp|golden fleece}} in Greek and Roman mythology. It, and its evolutions, may also have been based on the title of the science fiction novel ''{{wp|Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep}}''?

====Name origin====
Mareep may be a combination of ''Mary'' (from the nursery rhyme "{{wp|Mary Had a Little Lamb}}") and ''{{wp|sheep}}''. ''Mareep'' is also an anagram of ''{{wp|ampere}}'', a unit of electric current.

Merriep may be a combination of ''merry'', メー ''mē'' (the sound made by sheep), or ''Mary'' and ''sheep''.

==In other languages==
{{Other languages|type=electric|type2=electric
|ja=メリープ ''Merriep''|jameaning=From ''merry'', {{tt|メー ''mē''|The onomatopoetic sound of sheep}}, ''Mary'', and ''sheep''
