'''Tatsugiri''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''シャリタツ''' ''Syaritatsu'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Tatsugiri has three [[#Form data|forms]]: '''Curly Form''', '''Droopy Form''', and '''Stretchy Form''', which can all [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Tatsugiri''' using the [[Tatsugirinite]]. Mega Tatsugiri was introduced in the [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]] of {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

Tatsugiri interacts with {{p|Dondozo}} in [[Double Battle]]s via its [[signature Ability]], {{a|Commander}}, and Dondozo's [[signature move]], {{m|Order Up}}.

==Biology==
Tatsugiri is a small, piscine, dragon Pokémon that comes in three forms. Overall, all forms share the same base physiology: a cylindrical body sitting above a white throat sac that resembles a bed of rice when inflated, two large eyes, long pectoral fins, a wavy dorsal fin, and a split tail fin. Tatsugiri's throat sac serves multiple purposes, allowing it to camouflage with its surroundings and, in cases where it is swallowed whole, even making its escape by inflating it. The differences between the three forms lie on their colors and stances. Curly Form Tatsugiri is mostly orange and often assumes an upcurled stance, with splotches of dark orange on the upper side of its body and on the tip of its pectoral fins, as well as a white underbelly. Droopy Form Tatsugiri is mostly magenta and tends to droop on its throat sac, with its underbelly, dorsal fin, and tips of its pectoral fins being white. Stretchy Form Tatsugiri is a solid yellow, with its body sitting straight and horizontally. It is said that Tatsugiri's various forms are an adaptation to suit the preferences of its prey.

Although small and relatively weak, Tatsugiri is an intelligent, thoroughly cunning Pokémon. It uses its sharp intellect to assess its chances of winning a battle; if there is none, it will flee. In order to overcome its weakness, Tatsugiri teams up with {{p|Dondozo}}, which takes it as its boss, following Tatsugiri's orders and providing it with protection and shelter in exchange for a greater chance of catching prey. When hunting, Tatsugiri plays dead or leans into its unsuspecting side to attract potential prey, mainly bird Pokémon, and then commands Dondozo to attack. The interaction between the two Pokémon is so beneficial that Tatsugiri will even clash among themselves in order to get to partner with a particular Dondozo.

A {{pkmn2|giant}} Tatsugiri and a giant Dondozo that live at [[Paldea]]'s [[Casseroya Lake]], feeding on [[Spicy Herba Mystica]], are known as the [[Titan Pokémon|False Dragon Titan]].

Tatsugiri is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Commander}} as an [[Ability]].

===Forms===
Tatsugiri has three forms: Curly Form, Droopy Form, and Stretchy Form. All three of them can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Tatsugiri.

====Mega Tatsugiri====
As a result of [[Mega Evolution]], Mega Tatsugiri consists of three Tatsugiri, one of each form, riding upon a pink and blue dish shaped like the Mega Evolution symbol. The central Tatsugiri on the dish will always be the same form of the Tatsugiri that Mega Evolved and is distinguished by the roe-shaped crown on its head, while the other two are copies it created. Overall, the three Tatsugiri are left mostly unchanged, only becoming longer and their dorsal fins changing from a single wavy fin to a row of three. A row of green and blue spikes divide the central Tatsugiri from the copies; when Mega Tatsugiri attacks, the spikes can extend outward.

Mega Tatsugiri's brain has been further enhanced by Mega Evolution, making it exceptionally clever. It can command its copies to assist it in battle and can also solidify the energy from Mega Evolution, enabling it to create its dish and generate an endless supply of exploding roe-shaped projectiles. By riding upon its dish, Mega Tatsugiri gains the freedom to move anywhere it desires, including through the air.

===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}: Tatsugiri, known as the False Dragon Titan, is a minor character and a boss encounter in the games. It became a [[Titan Pokémon]] after consuming some [[Herba Mystica]].
** The {{player}} and [[Arven]] eventually found it in [[Casseroya Lake]] to find the [[Spicy Herba Mystica|Herba Mystica it guards]], however, its partner, {{p|Dondozo}} swallowed and rescued it, fighting them in its place. After Dondozo's defeat, Tatsugiri finally reappeared, being defeated as well and being forced to flee. After both took the Herba Mystica, Tatsugiri became a normal-sized Pokémon once again. After this, it can be rematched in its original location, and will have the [[Mark|Titan Mark]] when captured.

===Form data===
Tatsugiri has three different non-interchangeable forms: Curly Form (which is orange), Droopy Form (which is magenta), and Stretchy Form (which is yellow), each with different colors, fin shapes, and patterns on their bodies. When {{p|Dondozo}} uses the move {{m|Order Up}} after Tatsugiri has entered its mouth using its [[Ability]] {{a|Commander}}, the [[stat]] boost that Dondozo gains is based on the Tatsugiri form in its mouth, with Curly Form increasing {{stat|Attack}}, Droopy Form increasing {{stat|Defense}}, and Stretchy Form increasing {{stat|Speed}}.

==Trivia==
* Tatsugiri and its {{Shiny}} forms were designed by [[James Turner]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/JamesTurner_42/status/1634467575898710017 James Turner on Twitter]</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/JamesTurner_42/status/1634470202250342402 James Turner on Twitter]</ref>
* Tatsugiri is the only {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon in the {{egg3|Water 2}}, and the only Dragon-type {{DL|List of Pokémon by shape|Pokémon with fins}}.
** Droopy Form Tatsugiri is the only {{DL|List of Pokémon by color|pink}} Dragon-type Pokémon.
* Tatsugiri is the only dual-type Dragon/Water Pokémon to have Dragon as its primary type instead of its secondary type.
* Tatsugiri and {{p|Magearna}} are the only Pokémon whose appearance while [[Mega Evolution|Mega-Evolved]] differs depending on their form.

===Origin===
Tatsugiri seems to be based on {{wp|sushi}}, specifically the ''{{wp|nigirizushi}}'' (a type of sushi pressed by hand, instead of rolled): Curly Form resembles a shrimp nigiri, Droopy Form resembles a tuna nigiri, and Stretchy Form resembles an egg or a herring roe nigiri. Likewise, {{Shiny}} Curly Form resembles an eel nigiri, Shiny Droopy Form resembles a halibut or a squid nigiri, and Shiny Stretchy Form resembles a salmon nigiri. Tatsugiri also somewhat resembles the {{wp|koi}} fish, which, like Tatsugiri, has many colored varieties.

Tatsugiri's habit of entering Dondozo's mouth is a possible reference to {{wp|Mouthbrooder|mouthbrooding}}, a parenting style performed by many species of fish where the parent fish will keep their offspring safe by holding them inside their mouth. Tatsugiri's hunting methods may also be a reference to {{wp|fishing lure}}s and {{wp|fishing bait}}. Tatsugiri and Dondozo's synergy together seems to reference the common [https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BrainsAndBrawn "Brains and Brawn" team-up] trope in media, as Tatsugiri is physically weak but highly intelligent, and acts as the boss for the powerful but unintelligent Dondozo.

Alternatively, this habit may also hint at Tatsugiri being partially inspired by parasitic isopods, such as the {{wp|Cymothoa exigua|tongue-eating louse}}, which attaches itself to the tongues of fish for sustenance. Its appearance may reference the parasitic isopod of the ''{{wp|Rocinela}}'' genus that went viral in Japan in 2021 [https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/creature-looks-like-salmon-sushi/ for resembling a ''nigirizushi''].

Tatsugiri's Dragon type may be a reference to the East Asian cultural association of koi (and carp in general) with dragons. Curly Form's curved posture may also be a reference to {{wp|Shachihoko}}. Tatsugiri's {{wp|Sarcopterygii|lobed fins}} and its ability to walk on land may be inspired by {{wp|lungfish}}es and lungfish-like species like ''{{wp|Polypterus senegalus}}'', sometimes known as "dragonfish".

Mega Tatsugiri resembles a 3-piece dish of ''nigirizushi'' served on a platter and separated with ''[[jwp:ハラン (植物)#人造バラン|baran]],'' a green plastic garnish resembling [[wp:Aspidistra elatior|cast-iron plant]] leaves which is commonly found in bento and sushi boxes. The "platter" also resembles the Mega Evolution symbol. The central Tatsugiri appears to have [[wp:Red_caviar|salmon roe]] on top of its head.

====Name origin====
Tatsugiri may be a combination of 竜 ''tatsu'' (Japanese for dragon) and 握り寿司 ''{{wp|nigirizushi}}''.

Syaritatsu may be a combination of シャリ ''shari'' (sushi rice) and 竜 ''tatsu''.

'''Tatsugiri''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''シャリタツ''' ''Syaritatsu'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Tatsugiri has three [[#Form data|forms]]: '''Curly Form''', '''Droopy Form''', and '''Stretchy Form''', which can all [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Tatsugiri''' using the [[Tatsugirinite]]. Mega Tatsugiri was introduced in the [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]] of {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

Tatsugiri interacts with {{p|Dondozo}} in [[Double Battle]]s via its [[signature Ability]], {{a|Commander}}, and Dondozo's [[signature move]], {{m|Order Up}}.

==Biology==
Tatsugiri is a small, piscine, dragon Pokémon that comes in three forms. Overall, all forms share the same base physiology: a cylindrical body sitting above a white throat sac that resembles a bed of rice when inflated, two large eyes, long pectoral fins, a wavy dorsal fin, and a split tail fin. Tatsugiri's throat sac serves multiple purposes, allowing it to camouflage with its surroundings and, in cases where it is swallowed whole, even making its escape by inflating it. The differences between the three forms lie on their colors and stances. Curly Form Tatsugiri is mostly orange and often assumes an upcurled stance, with splotches of dark orange on the upper side of its body and on the tip of its pectoral fins, as well as a white underbelly. Droopy Form Tatsugiri is mostly magenta and tends to droop on its throat sac, with its underbelly, dorsal fin, and tips of its pectoral fins being white. Stretchy Form Tatsugiri is a solid yellow, with its body sitting straight and horizontally. It is said that Tatsugiri's various forms are an adaptation to suit the preferences of its prey.

Although small and relatively weak, Tatsugiri is an intelligent, thoroughly cunning Pokémon. It uses its sharp intellect to assess its chances of winning a battle; if there is none, it will flee. In order to overcome its weakness, Tatsugiri teams up with {{p|Dondozo}}, which takes it as its boss, following Tatsugiri's orders and providing it with protection and shelter in exchange for a greater chance of catching prey. When hunting, Tatsugiri plays dead or leans into its unsuspecting side to attract potential prey, mainly bird Pokémon, and then commands Dondozo to attack. The interaction between the two Pokémon is so beneficial that Tatsugiri will even clash among themselves in order to get to partner with a particular Dondozo.

A {{pkmn2|giant}} Tatsugiri and a giant Dondozo that live at [[Paldea]]'s [[Casseroya Lake]], feeding on [[Spicy Herba Mystica]], are known as the [[Titan Pokémon|False Dragon Titan]].

Tatsugiri is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Commander}} as an [[Ability]].

===Forms===
Tatsugiri has three forms: Curly Form, Droopy Form, and Stretchy Form. All three of them can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Tatsugiri.

====Mega Tatsugiri====
As a result of [[Mega Evolution]], Mega Tatsugiri consists of three Tatsugiri, one of each form, riding upon a pink and blue dish shaped like the Mega Evolution symbol. The central Tatsugiri on the dish will always be the same form of the Tatsugiri that Mega Evolved and is distinguished by the roe-shaped crown on its head, while the other two are copies it created. Overall, the three Tatsugiri are left mostly unchanged, only becoming longer and their dorsal fins changing from a single wavy fin to a row of three. A row of green and blue spikes divide the central Tatsugiri from the copies; when Mega Tatsugiri attacks, the spikes can extend outward.

Mega Tatsugiri's brain has been further enhanced by Mega Evolution, making it exceptionally clever. It can command its copies to assist it in battle and can also solidify the energy from Mega Evolution, enabling it to create its dish and generate an endless supply of exploding roe-shaped projectiles. By riding upon its dish, Mega Tatsugiri gains the freedom to move anywhere it desires, including through the air.

===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}: Tatsugiri, known as the False Dragon Titan, is a minor character and a boss encounter in the games. It became a [[Titan Pokémon]] after consuming some [[Herba Mystica]].
** The {{player}} and [[Arven]] eventually found it in [[Casseroya Lake]] to find the [[Spicy Herba Mystica|Herba Mystica it guards]], however, its partner, {{p|Dondozo}} swallowed and rescued it, fighting them in its place. After Dondozo's defeat, Tatsugiri finally reappeared, being defeated as well and being forced to flee. After both took the Herba Mystica, Tatsugiri became a normal-sized Pokémon once again. After this, it can be rematched in its original location, and will have the [[Mark|Titan Mark]] when captured.

===Form data===
Tatsugiri has three different non-interchangeable forms: Curly Form (which is orange), Droopy Form (which is magenta), and Stretchy Form (which is yellow), each with different colors, fin shapes, and patterns on their bodies. When {{p|Dondozo}} uses the move {{m|Order Up}} after Tatsugiri has entered its mouth using its [[Ability]] {{a|Commander}}, the [[stat]] boost that Dondozo gains is based on the Tatsugiri form in its mouth, with Curly Form increasing {{stat|Attack}}, Droopy Form increasing {{stat|Defense}}, and Stretchy Form increasing {{stat|Speed}}.

==Trivia==
* Tatsugiri and its {{Shiny}} forms were designed by [[James Turner]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/JamesTurner_42/status/1634467575898710017 James Turner on Twitter]</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/JamesTurner_42/status/1634470202250342402 James Turner on Twitter]</ref>
* Tatsugiri is the only {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon in the {{egg3|Water 2}}, and the only Dragon-type {{DL|List of Pokémon by shape|Pokémon with fins}}.
** Droopy Form Tatsugiri is the only {{DL|List of Pokémon by color|pink}} Dragon-type Pokémon.
* Tatsugiri is the only dual-type Dragon/Water Pokémon to have Dragon as its primary type instead of its secondary type.
* Tatsugiri and {{p|Magearna}} are the only Pokémon whose appearance while [[Mega Evolution|Mega-Evolved]] differs depending on their form.

===Origin===
Tatsugiri seems to be based on {{wp|sushi}}, specifically the ''{{wp|nigirizushi}}'' (a type of sushi pressed by hand, instead of rolled): Curly Form resembles a shrimp nigiri, Droopy Form resembles a tuna nigiri, and Stretchy Form resembles an egg or a herring roe nigiri. Likewise, {{Shiny}} Curly Form resembles an eel nigiri, Shiny Droopy Form resembles a halibut or a squid nigiri, and Shiny Stretchy Form resembles a salmon nigiri. Tatsugiri also somewhat resembles the {{wp|koi}} fish, which, like Tatsugiri, has many colored varieties.

Tatsugiri's habit of entering Dondozo's mouth is a possible reference to {{wp|Mouthbrooder|mouthbrooding}}, a parenting style performed by many species of fish where the parent fish will keep their offspring safe by holding them inside their mouth. Tatsugiri's hunting methods may also be a reference to {{wp|fishing lure}}s and {{wp|fishing bait}}. Tatsugiri and Dondozo's synergy together seems to reference the common [https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BrainsAndBrawn "Brains and Brawn" team-up] trope in media, as Tatsugiri is physically weak but highly intelligent, and acts as the boss for the powerful but unintelligent Dondozo.

Alternatively, this habit may also hint at Tatsugiri being partially inspired by parasitic isopods, such as the {{wp|Cymothoa exigua|tongue-eating louse}}, which attaches itself to the tongues of fish for sustenance. Its appearance may reference the parasitic isopod of the ''{{wp|Rocinela}}'' genus that went viral in Japan in 2021 [https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/creature-looks-like-salmon-sushi/ for resembling a ''nigirizushi''].

Tatsugiri's Dragon type may be a reference to the East Asian cultural association of koi (and carp in general) with dragons. Curly Form's curved posture may also be a reference to {{wp|Shachihoko}}. Tatsugiri's {{wp|Sarcopterygii|lobed fins}} and its ability to walk on land may be inspired by {{wp|lungfish}}es and lungfish-like species like ''{{wp|Polypterus senegalus}}'', sometimes known as "dragonfish".

Mega Tatsugiri resembles a 3-piece dish of ''nigirizushi'' served on a platter and separated with ''[[jwp:ハラン (植物)#人造バラン|baran]],'' a green plastic garnish resembling [[wp:Aspidistra elatior|cast-iron plant]] leaves which is commonly found in bento and sushi boxes. The "platter" also resembles the Mega Evolution symbol. The central Tatsugiri appears to have [[wp:Red_caviar|salmon roe]] on top of its head.

====Name origin====
Tatsugiri may be a combination of 竜 ''tatsu'' (Japanese for dragon) and 握り寿司 ''{{wp|nigirizushi}}''.

Syaritatsu may be a combination of シャリ ''shari'' (sushi rice) and 竜 ''tatsu''.

'''Tatsugiri''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''シャリタツ''' ''Syaritatsu'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Tatsugiri has three [[#Form data|forms]]: '''Curly Form''', '''Droopy Form''', and '''Stretchy Form''', which can all [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Tatsugiri''' using the [[Tatsugirinite]]. Mega Tatsugiri was introduced in the [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]] of {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

Tatsugiri interacts with {{p|Dondozo}} in [[Double Battle]]s via its [[signature Ability]], {{a|Commander}}, and Dondozo's [[signature move]], {{m|Order Up}}.

==Biology==
Tatsugiri is a small, piscine, dragon Pokémon that comes in three forms. Overall, all forms share the same base physiology: a cylindrical body sitting above a white throat sac that, even inflated, resembles a bed of rice, two large eyes, long pectoral fins, a wavy dorsal fin, and a split tail fin. Tatsugiri's throat sac serves multiple purposes, allowing it to camouflage with its surroundings and, in cases where it is swallowed whole, even making its escape by inflating it. The differences between the three forms lie on their colors and stances: Curly Form Tatsugiri is mostly orange and often assumes an upcurled stance, with splotches of dark orange on the upper side of its body and on the tip of its pectoral fins, as well as a white underbelly; Droopy Form Tatsugiri is mostly magenta and tends to droop on its throat sac, with its underbelly, dorsal fin, and tips of its pectoral fins being white; and Stretchy Form Tatsugiri is a solid yellow, with its body sitting straight and horizontally. It is said that Tatsugiri's various forms are an adaptation to suit the preferences of its prey.

Although small and relatively weak, Tatsugiri is an intelligent, thoroughly cunning Pokémon. It uses its sharp intellect to assess its chances of winning a battle; if there is none, it will flee. In order to overcome its weakness, Tatsugiri teams up with {{p|Dondozo}}, which takes it as its boss, following Tatsugiri's orders and providing it with protection and shelter in exchange for a greater chance of catching prey. When hunting, Tatsugiri plays dead or leans into its unsuspecting side to attract potential prey, mainly bird Pokémon, and then commands Dondozo to attack. The interaction between the two Pokémon is so beneficial that Tatsugiri will even clash among themselves in order to get to partner with a particular Dondozo.

A {{pkmn2|giant}} Tatsugiri and a giant Dondozo that live at [[Paldea]]'s [[Casseroya Lake]], feeding on [[Spicy Herba Mystica]], are known as the [[Titan Pokémon|False Dragon Titan]].

Tatsugiri is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Commander}} as an [[Ability]].

===Forms===
Tatsugiri has three forms: Curly Form, Droopy Form, and Stretchy Form. All three of them can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Tatsugiri.

====Mega Tatsugiri====
As a result of [[Mega Evolution]], Mega Tatsugiri consists of three Tatsugiri, one of each form, riding upon a pink and blue dish shaped like the Mega Evolution symbol. The central Tatsugiri on the dish will always be the same form of the Tatsugiri that Mega Evolved and is distinguished by the roe-shaped crown on its head, while the other two are copies it created. Overall, the three Tatsugiri are left mostly unchanged, only becoming longer and their dorsal fins changing from a single wavy fin to a row of three. A row of green and blue spikes divide the central Tatsugiri from the copies; when Mega Tatsugiri attacks, the spikes can extend outward.

Mega Tatsugiri's brain has been further enhanced by Mega Evolution, making it exceptionally clever. It can command its copies to assist it in battle and can also solidify the energy from Mega Evolution, enabling it to create its dish and generate an endless supply of exploding roe-shaped projectiles. By riding upon its dish, Mega Tatsugiri gains the freedom to move anywhere it desires, including through the air.

===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}: Tatsugiri, known as the False Dragon Titan, is a minor character and a boss encounter in the games. It became a [[Titan Pokémon]] after consuming some [[Herba Mystica]].
** The {{player}} and [[Arven]] eventually found it in [[Casseroya Lake]] to find the [[Spicy Herba Mystica|Herba Mystica it guards]], however, its partner, {{p|Dondozo}} swallowed and rescued it, fighting them in its place. After Dondozo's defeat, Tatsugiri finally reappeared, being defeated as well and being forced to flee. After both took the Herba Mystica, Tatsugiri became a normal-sized Pokémon once again. After this, it can be rematched in its original location, and will have the [[Mark|Titan Mark]] when captured.

===Form data===
Tatsugiri has three different non-interchangeable forms: Curly Form (which is orange), Droopy Form (which is magenta), and Stretchy Form (which is yellow), each with different colors, fin shapes, and patterns on their bodies. When {{p|Dondozo}} uses the move {{m|Order Up}} after Tatsugiri has entered its mouth using its [[Ability]] {{a|Commander}}, the [[stat]] boost that Dondozo gains is based on the Tatsugiri form in its mouth, with Curly Form increasing {{stat|Attack}}, Droopy Form increasing {{stat|Defense}}, and Stretchy Form increasing {{stat|Speed}}.

==Trivia==
* Tatsugiri and its {{Shiny}} forms were designed by [[James Turner]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/JamesTurner_42/status/1634467575898710017 James Turner on Twitter]</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/JamesTurner_42/status/1634470202250342402 James Turner on Twitter]</ref>
* Tatsugiri is the only {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon in the {{egg3|Water 2}}, and the only Dragon-type {{DL|List of Pokémon by shape|Pokémon with fins}}.
** Droopy Form Tatsugiri is the only {{DL|List of Pokémon by color|pink}} Dragon-type Pokémon.
* Tatsugiri is the only dual-type Dragon/Water Pokémon to have Dragon as its primary type instead of its secondary type.
* Tatsugiri and {{p|Magearna}} are the only Pokémon whose appearance while [[Mega Evolution|Mega-Evolved]] differs depending on their form.

===Origin===
Tatsugiri seems to be based on {{wp|sushi}}, specifically the ''{{wp|nigirizushi|nigirizushi}}'' (a type of sushi pressed by hand, instead of rolled): Curly Form resembles a shrimp nigiri, Droopy Form resembles a tuna nigiri, and Stretchy Form resembles an egg or a herring roe nigiri. Likewise, {{Shiny}} Curly Form resembles an eel nigiri, Shiny Droopy Form resembles a halibut or a squid nigiri, and Shiny Stretchy Form resembles a salmon nigiri. Tatsugiri also somewhat resembles the {{wp|koi}} fish, which, like Tatsugiri, has many colored varieties.

Tatsugiri's habit of entering Dondozo's mouth is a possible reference to {{wp|Mouthbrooder|mouthbrooding}}, a parenting style performed by many species of fish where the parent fish will keep their offspring safe by holding them inside their mouth. Tatsugiri's hunting methods may also be a reference to {{wp|fishing lure}}s and {{wp|fishing bait}}. Tatsugiri and Dondozo's synergy together seems to reference the common [https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BrainsAndBrawn "Brains and Brawn" team-up] trope in media, as Tatsugiri is physically weak but highly intelligent, and acts as the boss for the powerful but unintelligent Dondozo.

Alternatively, this habit may also hint at Tatsugiri being partially inspired by parasitic isopods, such as the {{wp|Cymothoa exigua|tongue-eating louse}}, which attaches itself to the tongues of fish for sustenance. Its appearance may reference the parasitic isopod of the ''{{wp|Rocinela}}'' genus that went viral in Japan in 2021 [https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/creature-looks-like-salmon-sushi/ for resembling a ''nigirizushi''].

Tatsugiri's Dragon type may be a reference to the East Asian cultural association of koi (and carp in general) with dragons. Curly Form's curved posture may also be a reference to {{wp|Shachihoko}}. Tatsugiri's {{wp|Sarcopterygii|lobed fins}} and its ability to walk on land may be inspired by {{wp|lungfish}}es and lungfish-like species like ''{{wp|Polypterus senegalus}}'', sometimes known as "dragonfish".

Mega Tatsugiri resembles a 3-piece dish of ''nigirizushi'' served on a platter and separated with ''[[jwp:ハラン (植物)#人造バラン|baran]],'' a green plastic garnish resembling [[wp:Aspidistra elatior|cast-iron plant]] leaves which is commonly found in bento and sushi boxes. The "platter" also resembles the Mega Evolution symbol. The central Tatsugiri appears to have [[wp:Red_caviar|salmon roe]] on top of its head.

====Name origin====
Tatsugiri may be a combination of 竜 ''tatsu'' (Japanese for dragon) and 握り寿司 ''{{wp|nigirizushi|nigirizushi}}''.

Syaritatsu may be a combination of シャリ ''shari'' (sushi rice) and 竜 ''tatsu''.

'''Magearna''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マギアナ''' ''Magearna'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Fairy}} [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VII]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Magearna has a second [[#Form data|form]] named '''Original Color''', which first appeared in {{game4|SMUSUM}} but was not made legitimately available until the release of {{g|HOME}} in [[Generation VIII]].

Magearna and Original Color Magearna can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Magearna''' using the [[Magearnite]], with a variant for both forms. Mega Magearna was introduced in the [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]] of {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

Magearna was leaked in the March issue of [[CoroCoro]] released on February 10, 2016, and it was officially revealed on February 14, 2016, making it the first [[Generation VII]] Pokémon to be revealed to the public.

==Biology==
[[File:Magearna SM concept art.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Concept art of Magearna, detailing its intricate design]]
Magearna is a metallic, bipedal, and [[artificial Pokémon]]. Its body is primarily silver, made up of round shapes, and can be segmented into three sections: a medium-sized head, a small torso, and a large lower body that resembles a {{wp|ball gown}}. Its head has the shape of a horizontal teardrop, with the round bottom acting as its face, but its nape is perfectly straight instead of curved, as if cut off, making the back of its head look similar to a short ponytail. It has oval eyes, which are light pink with light red sclerae, have pupils in the shape of white crosses, and are outlined by a golden wiring that prongs upward into two eyelashes. It has a small, dot-like blue nose and pink mouth; two large, semicircular, rabbit-like ears with golden rims coming from a small nub on top of its head; and a gear with seven teeth around its head. On its forehead, thin, gray lines form the pattern of an eye; three lines run across the back of its head. Its torso is made of a spherical, silver frame. Attached to either side of its torso, there is a spherical shoulder which leads a thin upper arm and a claw-shaped lower arm with defined tips. Its lower body is mostly covered by the ball gown-like sphere, leaving only the tips of its thin legs with discs around the calfs exposed. This sphere is blunt and white at the top, where it connects to Magearna's torso, and is divided between a silver upper half and a white lower half by a bold, black stripe. The stripe does not meet at the front of the ball gown, instead connecting to halves of a broken gold ring with a pentagonal shield shape in the center; on the opposite side, there is a gold ring as well, but it is intact, thicker, and has a solid black center. The silver upper half has two rectangle shapes, defined by a thin, gray line, and each contain two golden, wavy patterns. The white lower half is made of four, retractable metal plates similar to the ruffles of a dress.

Magearna's body is actually nothing more than a vessel to its real self: the Soul-Heart held inside its chest. It consists of a light blue orb with four golden pins spread evenly around its vertical diameter and a heart split between blue and pink surrounded by golden speartips at the front. When attached to Magearna, the Soul-Heart is visible through the frame on its torso. The Soul-Heart is described both as an artificial soul and an artificial heart, created by collecting the life energy of other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.<ref>[https://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/magearna/ Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon | Magearna] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20181003152918/https://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/magearna/ archived])</ref> As seen in ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'', it can be removed from Magearna's body, preventing it from moving, but not from communicating, and be used as a power source. When its vessel is not being powered by the Soul-Heart, Magearna's eyes turn off, becoming a dull gray. Magearna also has a number of other hidden features: it can open up the tip of its arms to reveal a cannon, a single flower or a bouquet of five pink flowers; additionally, ''Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel'' depicts it as being able to water flowers with its arm and sing a calming lullaby.

Magearna was created roughly 500 years ago by a scientist. Magearna's current color scheme is a result of the original colors fading away over the centuries, leaving only the silver of its metallic body. Magearna is a great caretaker, as it can synchronize its consciousness with people and Pokémon in order to understand their feelings; despite this comprehension, however, it is unable to speak the human language. When dormant or sad, it can also curl up into a sphere, taking on the appearance of a [[Poké Ball]], which it does by retracting its head, torso, arms, and legs into its ball gown. In order to reawaken, the power of Magearna's internal mechanisms must be restored, which can be achieved by a [[Key Stone]] sending energy to the [[Magearnite]] it holds.

Magearna is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Fleur Cannon}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Soul-Heart}} as an [[Ability]].

===Forms===
Magearna has an alternate form called Original Color Magearna. Both forms can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Magearna.

====Original Color====
Original Color Magearna has the same color scheme it had 500 years ago, at the time it was created. It has much vivid colors, with its head, torso frame, arms, and legs being painted gold. The center of the golden ring at the front has turned black, while the upper part of its ball gown was painted red, as well as its ears, more closely resembling a standard {{i|Poké Ball}}.

Original Color Magearna's beautiful, vivid decoration was the color it had when it was first created 500 years ago. Magearna was created by a scientist as a gift to royalty, specifically to a king's daughter. In ''Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel'', the scientist who created {{OBP|Magearna|M19}} was a man named [[Nikola]], and the king's daughter who received it was an unnamed princess of the [[Azoth Kingdom]]. The magnificent, luxurious decoration of Original Color Magearna is said to have pleased the king's daughter, who admired its beauty. Original Color Magearna can lose its color over time, which resulted in its present-day appearance.

====Mega Magearna====
As a result of [[Mega Evolution]], Mega Magearna restores the colors it originally had. Its eyes became slightly tilted, are pink with even larger white crosses as pupils, and are outlined by red wiring. Its nose and mouth have also turned red. Mega Magearna no longer has a gear headband, left only with black stripe in its place; instead, its ears have moved forward and flipped upside-down, each with a smaller semicircle detaching from the center. A small, silver tiara with three spikes sits in between its ears. Its arms become straighter. The rings on its ball gown and the rectangles above each of them have folded upward, revealing more of Mega Magearna's legs and leading to the rings covering the front and back of its torso. The front ring features a pentagonal shield split between blue and pink, much like the Soul-Heart that now lies behind it. The lower half of its ball gown is much shorter and frillier in appearance, featuring heavy black outlines. Additionally, a pair of floating, four-toothed half-gears constantly orbit around Mega Magearna.

Depending on Magearna's form, there are some slight color variations. A regular Mega Magearna has red rings covering the front and back of its torso, with the front ring being golden at the center, and the color of its lower half of its ball gown and half-gears is dark gray. An Original Color Mega Magearna, on the other hand, has rings that remain golden, with the center of the front ring being black, and the colors of the lower half of its ball gown and half-gears are white and silver, respectively.

The [[Mega Stone]] that triggers Magearna's Mega Evolution also activates a secret mechanism that was placed on it during its creation, removing its limitations, but locking away its feelings in the process. Due to this, Mega Magearna becomes a heartless fighting machine that strives to defeat enemies endlessly. It can launch its floating gears at opponents and combine them into one giant gear around its flower-shaped cannon to unleash powerful beams.

===Form data===
Magearna has a separate form called Original Color Magearna. The two forms are non-interchangeable, and the difference between them is purely aesthetic: Original Color Magearna has its original red and gold color scheme instead of silver.

Prior to the launch of {{g|HOME}}, Original Color Magearna was not able to be legitimately obtained, and it only appeared in an official capacity in ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]''. In Pokémon HOME, if a player completes the [[National Pokédex]] (up to {{p|Eternatus}}, including [[Mythical Pokémon]]), they will receive a [[Mystery Gift]] containing an Original Color Magearna.

==Other appearances==

Magearna appears as a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:HOME801 s.png|thumb|150px|A {{Shiny}} Magearna as seen in {{g|HOME}}]]
* The concept of Magearna came from [[Masafumi Nukita]], which also involved writing its [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]].<ref>https://archive.is/tS5lL</ref>
** This is not to be confused with the designer of Magearna, who is currently unknown.
* In [[Generation VII]], Magearna was the only Pokémon that was both able to learn new moves by [[TM]] yet was unable to learn {{m|Toxic}} or {{m|Sleep Talk}}.
* Magearna is the first [[Mythical Pokémon]] to be made available in the core series through an [[List of in-game event Pokémon in Pokémon Sun and Moon#QR Code Magearna|indefinitely active event]].
* {{Shiny}} Magearna is the only unobtainable Shiny Pokémon that has exclusively appeared in the {{pkmn|animated series}}.
* Until [[Generation VIII]], Magearna's Shiny color scheme was identical to the regular one. {{g|HOME}} and {{g|Sword and Shield}} Version 1.2.0 include data for Magearna's Shiny palette.
* Magearna and {{p|Tatsugiri}} are the only Pokémon whose appearance while [[Mega Evolution|Mega-Evolved]] differs depending on their form.
* Mega Magearna has the highest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of all {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
Magearna may be based on a {{wp|nursemaid}}, a young woman that would care for and look after children within the community of a large household, having historically worked in medieval castles. The gear around Magearna's head also resembles a maid's headdress as well as its central body looking similar to the common wear for a maid, such as its arms looking like long, puffed sleeves and the black divide near the end of its "gown" bearing resemblance to the end of an apron. It may also borrow from the idea of a {{wp|karakuri puppet}}, but does not resemble one. The rabbit ears and the yellow crescents on its body may reference the {{wp|moon rabbit}} legend. Magearna may also be inspired by {{wp|Mahina_(mythology)|Mahina}}, the Hawaiian goddess of the moon, due to her name resembling "machine" or "machina", and Magearna's color and lower body shape. Based on its name and access to {{m|Shift Gear}}, it might be a gear machine system.

====Name origin====
Magearna may be a combination of ''machina'' (Latin for ''machine''), ''{{wp|mana}}'', and ''gear''.

'''Darkrai''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ダークライ''' ''Darkrai'') is a {{type|Dark}} [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Darkrai can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Darkrai''' using the [[Darkranite]]. Mega Darkrai was introduced in the [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]] for {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

Darkrai was officially revealed in February 2007. It and {{p|Cresselia}} are often collectively referred to as the [[lunar duo]] by fans, and it is the last Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Hisui Pokédex number|Hisui Pokédex]]. Darkrai plays a central role in [[Mega Dimension]], serving as one of the key figures in its storyline.

==Biology==
[[File:Darkrai legs ZA.png|thumb|left|250px|Darkrai's extendable legs]]
Darkrai is a black, shadow-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has a small head with a white fog-like ghostly plume billowing from its head covering one of its bright blue eyes, with the portion on its face resembling hair. It also has a red spiky growth around its neck. It has skinny arms and long black tatters hanging from its shoulders. It also has black, claw-like hands. It has the slight appearance of an hourglass figure and appears to be wearing an old, ripped cloak. Darkrai generally stays afloat in the air and does not have any sort of legs, but it is able to extend stilt-like appendages similar to legs and stand on the ground. In self-defense, Darkrai can retract its head and white "plume" into the pit atop its torso fringed by the aforementioned red growth.

Darkrai resides in [[Newmoon Island]], where it is active during the new moon or moonless nights. Its main ability is to {{m|Dark Void|lull people to sleep and make them experience horrible nightmares}}. However, it is not intentionally malicious and only does this to as an act of self-defense or to chase [[Human|people]] and Pokémon away from its territory. One time, Darkrai caused an entire village to experience nightmares, with the villagers having reported seeing it in their dreams. It is [[Talking Pokémon|capable of speech]] while inside dreams. As seen in ''[[DP101|Sleepless In Pre-Battle!]]'', Darkrai not only creates nightmares, but is also attracted to them. Only Darkrai's counterpart, the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Cresselia}}, or one of its [[Lunar Feather]]s, can cure those afflicted by its power. It's also possible to fend off Darkrai's nightmares by combining [[Snorlax (Sleep)|Snorlax]]'s Drowsy Power with Cresselia's own. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, it has attempted to use Dark Void while it is asleep, perhaps because it cannot contain its overflowing power.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> The relationship between Darkrai and Cresselia can vary between different individuals and [[canon]]s, with some depicting it as antagonistic (''Sleepless In Pre-Battle!'' and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]), while others portray it as cooperative (''[[JN074|Nightfall? Nightmares!]]'' and ''[[JN075|A Midsummer Night's Light!]]'').

In ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', Darkrai was shown to be capable of speech through telepathy. In the same movie, it is revealed to be capable of flying at high speeds and becoming a shadow in order to escape danger or avoid humans. In [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]], Darkrai can use an ability called Dark Power, in which it opens a large black portal on the ground to either trap people and Pokémon in a world of total darkness (referred to as Dark Void) or teleport them somewhere else. Darkrai's capacity to cause nightmares can be enhanced by absorbing tons of [[Mega Power]], creating a mélange of subconscious thoughts and memories from people and Pokémon, as seen with [[Hyperspace Lumiose]]. If this isn't stopped, however, it will expand and cause distortions to appear in the real world. This also makes it lose control of itself and harms it to the point of triggering [[Rogue Mega Evolution]]. The [[Eureka Seed]] can bring out the full power of Darkrai.

Darkrai is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning and using the move {{m|Dark Void}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Bad Dreams}} as an [[Ability]].

[[File:Mega Darkrai Hidden Eye.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Mega Darkrai's hidden eye]]
Darkrai can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Darkrai.

When Mega-Evolved, Darkrai's entire body doubles in length and becomes almost five times heavier. Its upper body grows larger and more spherical, while its arms transform into long tentacles that gyrate. Six similar, wispy, swirling tatters protrude from it: five extend from the back, and one appears on the chest. From the longer, tattered skirt, two long, swirling legs emerge. Darkrai's ghostly plume lengthens, becoming pointier, with two locks on each side. The left eye is obscured by this "hair", revealing the right eye, which has an eerie hot pink hue. The previously red growth around its neck has turned black and now features eight new triangular shapes—three small triangles on two parallel sides and one large triangle on the opposite sides. In between these shapes, eight thin, white, vein-like lines appear. Darkrai can now open and close the neck growth when it retracts its head. When exposed, the growth appears dark gray and glows in shades from magenta to dark red as the head is retracted. Mega Darkrai hovers horizontally with its head pointing forward. From this angle, the new appendages, triangles, and lines resemble a vile eye with twisting spikes. When the head disappears, Mega Darkrai's neck reveals a white pupil and blue iris, which, combined with the magenta color change, creates an unsettling resemblance to a demonic eye.

Thanks to Mega Evolution, Darkrai's nightmare powers have significantly increased, to the point where it can block out the Sun and cast the entire area into total darkness. This allows it to seamlessly blend into its surroundings and disappear into the shadows. It is said that no one can escape the gaze of Mega Darkrai's large, menacing eye, which it can use for attacks. Mega Darkrai can create copies of itself to surround foes before attacking them with dark energy.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
{{spoilers}}
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}: {{mdc|Darkrai|2}} is revealed to be the main antagonist of the game in the post-game story. He wants to cover the world in darkness, and was behind the collapse of the [[Temporal Tower]] and {{p|Dialga}}'s corruption into [[Primal Dialga]] in the main storyline of the game. His interference is also the reason the player was separated from {{mdc|Grovyle|2}} and turned into a Pokémon. In the post-game story, he turns his attention to distorting the fabric of space to cover the world in darkness.
* [[PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond]]: Darkrai is the main antagonist in the game. He resided in [[Wish Park]] and wants to merge the Wish Park with PokéPark. When the Dark Vortex threatens to destroy both [[dimension]]s, Darkrai sacrifices himself to stop it, but is later brought back by {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} during the post-game.
* [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]]: Darkrai is the final boss, summoned by [[Blake Hall]].
* [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]]: [[Mega Dimension]]: [[Hyperspace Newmoon Nightmare#Special encounters|Darkrai]] is the main antagonist and the final boss of the DLC. About 6 months before the events of the game, Darkrai wandered into [[Lumiose City|Lumiose]] and settled on top of [[Prism Tower]] to stay away from everyone down below. As a result, however, it got exposed to all the [[Mega Power]] leaking from [[Ange]], causing its nightmare powers to be enhanced and go out of control. This created a [[dimension]] composed of the subconcious thoughts and memories of the people and Pokémon of Lumiose, which came to be known as [[Hyperspace Lumiose]]. After the creation of hyperspace, Darkrai hid one of its pockets, one that takes the form of [[Newmoon Island]], [[Hyperspace Newmoon Nightmare]], accessable through the giant distortion above Prism Tower.

==In animation==
===Main series===
[[File:Darkrai anime.png|thumb|250px|Darkrai in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Darkrai (M10)]]=====
Darkrai debuted in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' as a protagonist. It took the task of holding off the fighting between {{mov|Dialga}} and {{mov|Palkia}} until {{Ash}} and {{an|Dawn}} could put the [[Oración]] disk in the [[Space-Time Towers]] music player to calm the two [[Legendary Pokémon]] down. It reappeared in a cameo in the ending credits of ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.

====Darkrai (recurring)====
A Darkrai appeared in ''[[JN074|Nightfall? Nightmares!]]'' and ''[[JN075|A Midsummer Night's Light!]]'', where it was a target of [[Matori]] and the [[Matori Matrix]], along with {{OBP|Cresselia|recurring}}.

Darkrai's known moves are {{m|Dark Pulse}} and {{m|Dark Void}}, and its Ability is {{a|Bad Dreams}}.

=====Other=====
Darkrai made its animated series debut in ''[[DP104|Sleepless In Pre-Battle!]]''. Unlike the Darkrai in ''The Rise of Darkrai'', this Darkrai was maliciously causing nightmares, much like the one in the {{pkmn|games}}. According to [[Officer Jenny]], it comes at a certain time every year. In the episode, however, it came earlier due to it being lured out by {{TRT}}'s machine, which was also causing nightmares. Cresselia is normally in the same place as Darkrai to stop it from giving nightmares, but due to Darkrai's early arrival, the people in [[Canalave City]] had nightmares for several days. One night, it was concealing itself when {{p|Cresselia}} used its abilities to reveal it from the darkness. The two then battled and Darkrai hid itself once more in the shadows.

In ''[[DP183|League Unleashed!]]'', a mysterious {{pkmn|Trainer}} competed in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]] with a Darkrai. In [[DP184|the following episode]], [[Conway]] revealed that the Trainer, {{si|Tobias}}, had easily defeated eight [[Gym Leader]]s of the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]] using only Darkrai. In the [[Sinnoh League]] semifinals, this Darkrai was used against Ash, where it easily defeated {{AP|Heracross}}, {{AP|Torkoal}}, and {{AP|Gible}}. However, it was defeated by [[Ash's Sceptile]] in ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]''.

In ''[[PK26|Pikachu, What's This Key?]]'', {{MTR}}, {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}, and {{TP|James|Inkay}} visited a Darkrai courtesy of {{p|Klefki}}'s keys. Darkrai scared them out of a dark world in which it resided.

In ''[[XY098|Dream a Little Dream from Me!]]'', a Darkrai was the source of {{AP|Pikachu}}, Meowth, and [[Squishy]]'s nightmare. Darkrai eventually left as soon as it was spotted by Ash and his friends.

====Minor appearances====
A Darkrai appeared in the opening sequence of ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]''.

====Pokédex entries====
{{Animedexheader|Sinnoh}}

In ''[[PS302|Phew for Mew]]'', [[Sird]] let out a beam of light from a {{i|Poké Ball}} in an attempt to recapture {{adv|Deoxys}}. When {{adv|Mewtwo}}'s attack collided with the beam, it caused {{adv|Red}}, {{adv|Blue}}, {{adv|Green}}, {{adv|Yellow}}, and {{adv|Silver}} to turn to stone. In ''[[PS414|Double Trouble with Dialga and Palkia IV]]'', the beam was revealed to have been Darkrai. In ''[[PS438|The Final Dimensional Duel VIII]]'', Sird was revealed to have {{pkmn2|released}} it into the [[Distortion World]], where it clashed with [[Palmer]]'s {{p|Cresselia}} and was briefly controlled by [[Charon]]. After escaping from {{p|Giratina}}'s realm, it left to parts unknown.

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''This Dark-type Pokémon can cause people and other Pokémon to experience nightmares. While it is floating in the air, it tucks its legs in so far, it looks like they vanish! In battle it will use a move called Dark Void, which sucks in surrounding opponents and puts them into a deep sleep. ''

'''PAl''': ''A Pokémon shrouded in mystery, Darkrai has the ability to implant nightmares into the minds of both humans and Pokémon. It has legs, but seems to prefer to float in the air. Its favourite move in this game is Dark Void. When this attack hits something, it creates a vortex that sucks in fighters and puts them to sleep.''

{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Darkrai's [[Effort values|effort value]] [[List of Pokémon by effort value yield|yield]] of 2 {{stat|Special Attack}} and 1 {{stat|Speed}} is unique.
* Darkrai has two different portrait pictures in both {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}, and {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}}.
* Sailor [[Eldritch]]'s son says ''"<sc>Dar... Dark...</sc> Is watching me..."'' in his sleep before the {{player}} cures him of his nightmare. It is assumed that he is talking about Darkrai, as it is known to give its victims horrific nightmares.
* In the early Japanese versions of {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, Darkrai can be caught with the [[Surf glitch]]. However, this glitch was fixed in other language versions. [[Tweaking|Another glitch]] has been discovered that allows players of other language releases to reach Darkrai without the Member Card.
** This has been remedied in {{game|Platinum}}, however, as Darkrai itself will not appear on the island without the event ticket.
* Darkrai was designed by [[Hironobu Yoshida]].<ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/play-pokemon/worlds/2014/info/vips/ 2014 Pokémon World Championships VIPs | The Official Pokémon Website]</ref>
* In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}} and {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}}, as well as {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, Darkrai is the only non-{{type|Ghost}} Pokémon capable of traveling through walls and all other terrain types without the All-Terrain Hiker [[IQ#IQ Sill|IQ skill]].
* Despite being a [[gender unknown]] Pokémon, the {{mdc|Darkrai|2}} in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky is referred to as a [[Gender|male]].
* Mega Darkrai is tied with Mega {{p|Tyranitar}} for having the highest base stat total of all {{type|Dark}} Pokémon, excluding {{p|Arceus}} while holding a [[Dread Plate]].

===Origin===
Darkrai appears to be the personification of {{wp|nightmare}}s, bearing resemblance to folklore creatures such as the {{wp|mare (folklore)|mare}} and other {{wp|night hag}}s. Similarly, some types of {{wp|jinn}}s are also associated with nightmares and {{wp|sleep paralysis}}. It may also draw some inspiration from sleep deities and/or personifications, such as {{wp|Morpheus}}.

Darkrai's appearance is that of a {{wp|ghost}}ly {{wp|shadow person|shadow}}, likely inspired by some popular descriptions of {{wp|bogeyman}} as a dark and formless figure. It may also be inspired by common hallucinations of shadowy figures during sleep paralysis episodes. In contrast to its counterpart Cresselia's association with the crescent moon, Darkrai also appears to represent the {{wp|new moon}}.

Darkrai shares some similarities with the {{wp|nocnitsa}} from Slavic folklore, a type of evil spirit that often torments children with nightmares, gradually draining their life energy. Its physical appearance has many distinct depictions, some of which strongly resemble Darkrai—the most notable ones being: disheveled white hair, a body made out of shadows, and the absence of legs. Furthermore, in some regions it's said the nocnitsa can be stopped if one possesses a knife or a stone with a hole, similar to how a [[Lunar Feather]] can dispel Darkrai's nightmares.

Given its fabric-like texture in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} and long and stilt-like legs, Darkrai appears to be inspired by a {{wp|scarecrow}}, forming a contrast to {{p|Cresselia}}'s bird-like design.

The black markings around its eyes could be seen to resemble eyebags, which could be caused by a lack of sleep resulting from nightmares.

Mega Darkrai seems to take inspiration from a [[wp:Beholder_(Dungeons_&_Dragons)|beholder]], a fantasy creature commonly depicted as a floating sphere with a big eyeball and tendrils that may contain other, smaller eyes. Given its powers over darkness that can cover the sun, it might also be based on a [[wp:Solar_eclipse|solar eclipse]]. It is also probably inspired by {{wp|Amatsu-Mikaboshi}}, the evil god of stars in Japanese mythology, whose name means "August Star of Heaven" or "Dread Star of Heaven", which explained its resemblance to a giant star. Its overall appearance greatly resembles a [[wp:Human_eye|human eye]], with the main body as the eye itself, the tendrils [[wp:Conjunctiva|blood vessels of the conjunctiva]], and the legs the [[wp:Optic_nerve|optic nerve]]. This optical form, and the changing of the exposed eye on Darkrai's true face, could be in reference to the sacrifice of an eye by the Norse god [[wp:Odin|Odin]], who gave one of his eyes up to drink from a fountain which gave him great knowledge.

====Name origin====
Darkrai may be a combination of ''dark'' and 暗い ''kurai'' (dark).

'''Mr. Rime''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''バリコオル''' ''Barrikohru'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ice|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Mr. Mime}} starting at [[level]] 42. It is the final form of {{p|Mime Jr.}} in the [[Galar]] region.

==Biology==
Mr. Rime is a bipedal, humanoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Like its pre-evolved form {{p|Mr. Mime}}, it has growths resembling clown hair, but they are now black rather than blue and they cover the top of its head, resembling a {{wp|bowler hat}}. It has yellow eyes and a moustache that covers its mouth. Its black-and-white torso resembles a coat or tuxedo and a face, with yellow {{wp|shirt stud}}s for its "eyes", a red lump as its "nose", and a white {{wp|cummerbund}} for its "mouth". While its actual face remains almost expressionless, the features on its torso will change to convey emotions. Its lower body is blue and it has black and blue feet that resemble large shoes, presumably capped with ice. It has black spherical shoulders and blue arms with white, mitten-like hands. It always carries a blue formal cane made of ice.

Mr. Rime is highly skilled in tap dancing and waves its ice cane while it moves gracefully. It is popular due to its amusing movements and has been known to influence the {{p|Mime Jr.}} of the [[Galar]] region to learn its dancing steps, leading them to evolve into {{rf|Galarian}} Mr. Mime. It can release psychic powers through the pattern on its belly. The comical dancing of Mr. Rime is said to be a calling card. The moment an enemy laughs at its amusing tap dancing, Mr. Rime quickly takes the chance to blast them with frigid air at −328 degrees Fahrenheit (−200 degrees Celsius).

Mr. Rime and its pre-Evolution, Galarian Mr. Mime, are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Screen Cleaner}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===
Mr. Rime evolves from {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Mr. Mime}} and is the final form of {{p|Mime Jr.}}

==In the TCG==
{{main|Mr. Rime (TCG)}}
==Trivia==
* Despite its English name containing a male-exclusive {{wp|honorific}}, Mr. Rime's [[gender ratio]] is evenly split between male and female.
* Mr. Rime is the only Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VIII]] that can know an [[Pokémon Sword and Shield#Unusable moves|unusable move in Pokémon Sword and Shield]]. Specifically, it can know {{m|Double Slap}}, {{m|Meditate}}, {{m|Hidden Power}}, {{m|Barrier}}, {{m|Captivate}}, {{m|Flash}}, {{m|Frustration}}, {{m|Return}}, {{m|Natural Gift}}, {{m|Secret Power}}, {{m|Signal Beam}}, {{m|Snatch}}, {{m|Telekinesis}}, and {{m|Wake-Up Slap}} by evolving from a Mime Jr. that learned these moves in a previous game.
** It is therefore also the only Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VIII]] that can have a [[battle-ready symbol]].
*Mr. Rime is the only Pokémon introduced in {{g|Sword and Shield}} that can have the [[Origin mark|Sinnohan and Hisuian origin marks]], due to Mime Jr. being able to have them.

===Origin===
Mr. Rime seems to be based on a {{wp|mime}}, a {{wp|tap dance}}r, and silent film actor {{wp|Charlie Chaplin}}'s iconic {{wp|The Tramp|Tramp}} character. Like the Tramp, Mr. Rime appears to wear a {{wp|bowler hat}}, a black suit jacket, baggy trousers, and large dress shoes, along with carrying a cane and sporting a mustache. Mr. Rime is native to the [[Galar]] region, which is inspired by Charlie Chaplin's home country, the {{wp|United Kingdom}}. It could also be derived from the "city gent," a fashion style commonly associated with London businessmen during the 1970s, which prominently featured the bowler hat.

Mr. Rime may also be based on a {{wp|clown}}, since its feet resemble oversized clown shoes and the pattern on its round body resembles a clown face. It may also be inspired by the はらだし ''haradashi'', a humanoid {{wp|yōkai}} with a large face on its belly, and is known for visiting people who feel sad or lonely in order to cheer them up, sometimes by dancing.

Mr. Rime's desaturated {{Shiny}} coloration may reference the black-and-white color of {{wp|silent film}}s — Charlie Chaplin is considered to be one of the most famous silent film actors.

====Name origin====
Mr. Rime may be derived from the abbreviation of ''Mister'' and ''{{wp|Rime ice|rime}}'' (a type of frost) or ''{{wp|rhyme}}'' (since its name rhymes with {{p|Mr. Mime}}).

Barrikohru may be a combination of ''barrier'' (referring to the invisible walls it can create) and 凍る ''kōru'' (to freeze).

'''Mime Jr.''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マネネ''' ''Manene'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Fairy}} [[baby Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IV]]. Prior to [[Generation VI]], it was a pure {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Mr. Mime}} when [[level]]ed up while knowing {{m|Mimic}}.

In [[Galar]], Mime Jr. evolves into {{rf|Galarian}} Mr. Mime when leveled up while knowing Mimic, which evolves into {{p|Mr. Rime}} starting at level 42. Kantonian Mr. Mime is not known to evolve into any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
Mime Jr. is a small, pink {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with dark-blue legs and a "hat", which appears crooked and has a white ball on it. A red bump appears on its stomach and a typical red clown nose appears on its face. It has slender arms and small hands.

Mime Jr. has a knack for imitating others, though is not very good at it; it can easily pick up the emotions of those around it and imitate them. It has been known to mimic its foes in order to create distractions. Once the foe is confused, it will quickly escape. Sometimes, when it startles an opponent with its mimic skills, Mime Jr. feels so confident that it sometimes forgets to keep up its act. In [[Galar]], Mime Jr. tends to idolize and imitate its final evolved form {{p|Mr. Rime}}, which are widely popular in the region for their talent in tap-dancing. By practicing their dance steps, they eventually evolve into a {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Mr. Mime}}. It likes places where many people gather and has often been seen visiting marketplaces filled with people. As mentioned in the [[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]], Mime Jr. can found sleeping on a pantomimed bed on rare occasions. Even when sleeping, Mime Jr. puts a lot of effort into mimicking its Evolution Mr. Mime.

Prior to [[Generation VI]] and in [[Generation VIII]], Mime Jr. and its evolved form, {{p|Mr. Mime}}, were the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Filter}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===
Mime Jr. evolves into {{p|Mr. Mime}}.

In [[Galar]], it evolves into {{rf|Galarian}} Mr. Mime, which evolves into {{p|Mr. Rime}}.

==Trivia==
* Mime Jr. is the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a [[catch rate]] of 145.
* Mime Jr. has the lowest base {{stat|HP}} stat of all {{type|Psychic}} and {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon.
* Mime Jr. is the only [[baby Pokémon]] who was given the {{t|Fairy}} type in [[Generation VI]] that wasn't previously a {{t|Normal}} type.
** It is also the only Fairy type baby Pokémon introduced in [[Generation IV]].
* Mime Jr. is the only Pokemon with two types whose primary type becomes its Evolution's secondary type. This is only the case if it evolves into Galarian Mr. Mime, as regular Mr. Mime share their exact typing with Mime Jr.

===Origin===
Mime Jr. seems to be based on a {{wp|toddler}} and a {{wp|mime artist}} due to its {{wp|imitation|mimicking}} behavior. It is also reminiscent of a {{wp|clown}} due to its bright colors and big, red nose. The blue growth on its head resembles a {{wp|knit cap}} with earflaps or a {{wp|cap and bells|fool's cap}} worn by {{wp|court jester}}s. Its {{t|Fairy}} type and pointed hat may be inspired by various humanoid {{wp|fairy tale}} creatures such as {{wp|gnome}}s, {{wp|Dwarf (mythology)|dwarves}}, and {{wp|elves}}. In folklore, the terms "elves" and "fairies" are sometimes used interchangeably. Its body shape also resembles a {{wp|hand puppet}} or a {{wp|doll}}. In Japanese folklore, inanimate objects that are possessed by spirits and come to life are known as ''{{wp|tsukumogami}}''.

Mime Jr. is also reminiscent of an {{wp|ice cream cone}}, with its pointy legs resembling a cone, its pink body and head resembling scoops of strawberry ice cream, its hat resembling a swirl of {{wp|whipped cream}}, and its red nose and button resembling {{wp|Maraschino cherry|maraschino cherries}}.

====Name origin====
Mime Jr. is derived from {{wp|mime}} and ''{{wp|Suffix_(name)#Generational_titles|Jr.}}'' (abbreviation of Junior).

Manene may be a combination of 真似 ''mane'' (mimicry) and ね ''ne'' (emphasis and question marker particle)—similar to {{p|Bulbasaur}}'s Japanese etymology (''fushigi da ne'')—or ''nene'' (Spanish for "baby").

'''Mr. Mime''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''バリヤード''' ''Barrierd'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]]. Prior to [[Generation VI]], it was a pure {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Mime Jr.}} when [[level]]ed up while knowing {{m|Mimic}}.

In [[Galar]], Mr. Mime has a dual-type {{2t|Ice|Psychic}} [[regional form]]. It evolves into {{p|Mr. Rime}} starting at level 42. All Mime Jr. in Galar evolve into this form regardless of their origin. [[Kanto]]nian Mr. Mime is not known to evolve into any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
[[File:MrMimeSupremeVictors37.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Mr. Mime rock climbing]]
Mr. Mime is a bipedal, {{wp|humanoid}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Blue growths resembling clown hair extend from the sides of its pale pink head, and there is a magenta circle on each cheek. Its jaw is curved inward, resembling the mouth of a wooden dummy. It has a round, white body with a magenta spot in the middle, light pink arms and legs that connect to its body via magenta spheres, and small white coverings over its knees. Its white hands resemble gloves with magenta pads on the tips of its white fingers and its dark blue feet curl upward at the tips.

From birth, this Pokémon is an excellent pantomime. As it matures, it gains the ability to solidify air molecules by vibrating its fingertips. This ability allows it to create invisible objects with its gestures. It punishes those who interrupt its act or are not impressed by slapping them. In the [[TCG]], Mr. Mime is [[Mr. Mime (Supreme Victors 37)|shown]] to be adept at rock climbing. Mr. Mime is usually very rare but can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|suburban areas}}. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, it is hard to tell whether Mr. Mime is either sleeping or pretending to be asleep due to its masterful pantomime skills.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>

In [[Generation II]], {{m|Substitute}} was its [[signature move]]. Prior to [[Generation VI]] and in [[Generation VIII]], Mr. Mime and its pre-evolved form, {{p|Mime Jr.}}, were the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Filter}} as an [[Ability]].

===Forms===
Mr. Mime has a [[regional form]]: {{rf|Galarian}} Mr. Mime.

{{rf|Galarian}} Mr. Mime are mostly blue and white. It also has blue growths resembling clown hair on its pale head; however, these also extend and cover its cheeks, creating a mutton chop style sideburn effect resembling earmuffs. It has wider-shaped eyes and a small blue triangle for a nose. It has a suit-like body comprising a white top, blue shoulder spheres, blue bottom trousers, and a diamond-shaped crystal that resembles a tie. It has mitten-like hands and feet that are more defined, resembling blue shoes with light blue soles, presumably made out of ice.

Through its feet, it is able to control the temperature and create a floor of ice, which it can kick up to act as a barrier. It is widely known in the region for its talent in tap dancing (contrasting Kantonian Mr. Mime's talent in pantomiming) and is likely the result of {{p|Mr. Rime}}'s influence over {{p|Mime Jr.}} imitating their dance steps.

Galarian Mr. Mime and its evolved form, Mr. Rime, are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Screen Cleaner}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===
Mr. Mime evolves from {{p|Mime Jr.}}

{{rf|Galarian}} Mr. Mime evolves from Mime Jr. and evolves into {{p|Mr. Rime}}.

==={{DetPikMov}}===
A Mr. Mime appeared in {{DetPikMov}}, where it was encountered by {{OBP|Detective Pikachu|character}} and [[Tim Goodman]] at [[Ryme Wharf]] while they were searching for the source of the [[R]] substance. Having previously been interrogated by Tim's father [[Harry Goodman|Harry]] and Detective Pikachu before, it tried to mime an escape but was unsuccessful. Tim and Pikachu then tried interrogating it, but it taunted them and used {{m|Barrier}} to shield itself from any other questioning. This prompted Tim to try and "get inside its head", and he mimed opening the door to Mr. Mime's "room", pouring gasoline on it, and threatening it by miming a lit match. Mr. Mime relented and revealed that it had gotten the R from the "roundhouse", an illegal fight club owned by {{OBP|Sebastian|Detective Pikachu}}. In their excitement, Tim accidentally dropped the "match", much to Mr. Mime's horror.

==Trivia==
* Despite its English and French names containing a male-exclusive {{wp|honorific}}, Mr. Mime's [[gender ratio]] is evenly split between male and female.
** This discrepancy is probably due to the fact that Mr. Mime's Japanese name, Barrierd, does not reference gender. Also, Mr. Mime was introduced in [[Generation I]], before the gender mechanic was introduced.
** Based on this, translator [[Nob Ogasawara]] was wary about Mr. Mime's English name during localization: "If they make sequels and they give genders to Pokemon, we're going to be hooped."<ref>[https://lparchive.org/Pokemon-Blue/code.html Lets Break PKMN Blue Thread Bits - SomethingAwful Forums]</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/DougDinsdale/status/1269697794765279233 Nob Ogasawara on Twitter]</ref>
* Mr. Mime is the only Pokémon to have its English name changed between generations. Prior to [[Generation III]], it was known as Mr.Mime, without the space.
* The Mr. Mime obtained through an in-game [[trade]] in {{game|Red and Blue|s}} was [[nickname]]d Marcel. This may have been a homage to {{wp|Marcel Marceau}}, a French mime artist. However, this was not kept in {{game|Yellow}} or {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}; the same Mr. Mime is [[nickname]]d Miles in Yellow, and Mimien in FireRed and LeafGreen.
** This is referenced in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], where a boy in [[Wyndon]] says a nearby Galarian Mr. Mime is named Marcel.
* {{rf|Galarian}} Mr. Mime is:
** The only [[regional form]] with an exclusive evolved form that evolves from a Pokémon without a regional form of its own.
** The only Pokémon evolved by {{m|Mimic|knowing a certain move}} that can evolve further.
** The only Galarian form that can have the [[Origin mark|Hisuian origin mark]], due to Mime Jr. being able to have it.
* Galarian Mr. Mime shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Oricorio}}. They are both known as the Dancing Pokémon.
* Galarian Mr. Mime has the highest [[base stat total]] of any Pokémon that can evolve by leveling up.
* Mr. Mime and {{p|Lycanroc}} are the only two Pokémon known to have six possible {{Abilities}} between their forms, the most of any Pokémon.
* Mr. Mime is the only wild Pokémon in {{g|Legends: Arceus}} that can prevent players from battling it, as the barrier it sets up disrupts any Poké Balls that hit it.

===Design variations===

{{main|Pokémon controversies#Four-fingered hands|Pokémon controversies → Four-fingered hands}}
In all official artwork and in-game [[#Sprites|sprites]] prior to the release of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, as well as in early appearances in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, Mr. Mime only has four fingers. However, Mr. Mime has always been depicted with five fingers in {{aniseries|PTS}}, including the [[original series]], and from FireRed and LeafGreen onward, it is consistently depicted with five fingers across media.

===Origin===
Mr. Mime seems to be based on a {{wp|mime artist}}, specifically the {{wp|pantomime}} of pretending to be trapped in invisible boxes. Its brightly colored body is also reminiscent of a {{wp|clown}} and a {{wp|court jester}}. The blue growths on its head resemble a {{wp|cap and bells|fool's cap}}, and its curled feet resemble a jester's hook-toed shoes. Its curled feet are also reminiscent of modern depictions of {{wp|elves}}. Elves are often portrayed as fairy-like beings and in some cases the terms are used interchangeably; this may explain why Mr. Mime was changed to be part-{{t|Fairy}} with the type's introduction in [[Generation VI]]. Its jerky animations cause it to resemble a jointed {{wp|puppet}} or {{wp|doll}}. In Japanese folklore, inanimate objects that are possessed by spirits and come to life are known as ''{{wp|tsukumogami}}''.

Galarian Mr. Mime appears to be based on both {{wp|tap dance}}rs and {{wp|ice skating|ice skaters}}. The soles of its feet resemble {{wp|tap dance#Tap shoes|tap shoes}}, the blue spots on the sides of its head resemble {{wp|earmuffs}}, its fingers resemble {{wp|Glove#Mittens|mittens}}, and the ice on its chest resembles a {{wp|necktie}}. Its round body is also reminiscent of a {{wp|snowman}}.

====Name origin====
Mr. Mime consists of ''{{wp|Mr.}}'' (contraction of ''Mister'') and ''{{wp|mime}}''.

Barrierd may be a combination of ''barrier'' (referring to the invisible walls it can create) and ''weird''.

'''Nidoran♀''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ニドラン♀''' ''Nidoran♀'') is a {{type|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Nidorina}} starting at [[level]] 16, which evolves into {{p|Nidoqueen}} when exposed to a [[Moon Stone]].

Nidoran♀ is related to the {{p|Nidoran♂}} line, serving as Nidoran♂'s [[Gender|female]] counterpart. When {{pkmn|breeding|bred}} with Nidoran♂ or its evolved forms, it can produce {{pkmn|Egg|eggs}} that contain either Nidoran♀ or Nidoran♂. However, it is the only member of its family who is not in the {{egg3|No Eggs Discovered}}, meaning that only it can breed.

==Biology==
Nidoran♀ is a small, quadrupedal, {{wp|mammalian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has large, spiny ears, oversized front teeth, red eyes, and whiskers on each cheek. It is light blue with several darker blue spots. There are two white claws on each of its paws. Its back is covered with small toxic spines, and it has a small forehead horn.

The poisons secreted by the spines and horn are extremely potent, and even a scratch from its horn or a drop of poison from its barbs can be deadly. However, this docile Pokémon only uses its poison when it feels threatened. Nidoran♀ is more sensitive to smell than {{p|Nidoran♂}}. It can use its whiskers to check the wind while searching for berries or avoiding predators. Nidoran♀ can use its incisor teeth to crush the berries it forages for. Nidoran♀ lives in open spaces, such as {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|savannas and plains}}. Nidoran♀ is a female-only species.

===Evolution===
Nidoran♀ evolves into {{p|Nidorina}}, which evolves into {{p|Nidoqueen}}.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]].)

==Trivia==
[[File:Baby Nidoran Battle Pencils.jpg|200px|thumb|Baby Nidoran]]
* Nidoran♀ and Nidoran♂ were the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to feature any indication of [[gender]], before it was introduced as a mechanic and applied to other Pokémon in [[Generation II]].
** Despite the addition of genders to other Pokémon, the two variations of Nidoran remain separate species, rather than a singular species that splits down different [[Evolution]] paths based on gender. An {{pkmn|Egg}} laid by a Nidoran♀ does, however, has a chance of hatching into a Nidoran♂, while an Egg laid by a Nidoran♂ with a {{p|Ditto}} has a chance of hatching into a Nidoran♀.
* Nidoran♀ is the only Pokémon that loses the ability to breed upon Evolution.
* Nidoran♀'s {{Shiny}} form is similar to {{p|Nidoran♂}}'s normal coloration, and vice versa for Nidoran♂.
* Nidoran♀ shares its {{pkmn|category}} name with {{p|Nidorina}}, {{p|Nidoran♂}}, {{p|Nidorino}}, {{p|Poipole}}, and {{p|Naganadel}}. They are all known as the Poison Pin Pokémon.
* Due to the fact that its gender, ♀, is included in its name, checking Nidoran♀'s summary from [[Generation II]] onward (except in [[Generation VIII]]) will display as if it were gender unknown if it does not have a nickname. If its nickname is anything other than "Nidoran♀", its gender will appear as normal.

===Origin===
Nidoran♀ appears to draw inspiration from various characteristics of {{wp|lagomorph}}s and {{wp|rodent}}s, with aspects of {{wp|venomous mammal}}s. It may also reference the mythical {{wp|Moon rabbit}} given its rabbit-like appearance and the fact that it reaches its final evolved form using a [[Moon Stone]]. Its differences from Nidoran♂ may be based on {{wp|sexual dimorphism}}, and the coloration of Nidoran and its Evolutions may be a reference to the {{wp|gendered associations of pink and blue}} in previous centuries.

====Name origin====
Nidoran♀ may be derived from ''needle'', with ♀ as an indication of its female gender. It may also involve 二度 ''nido'' (twice).

'''Ampharos''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''デンリュウ''' ''Denryu'') is an {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Flaaffy}} starting at [[level]] 30. It is the final form of {{p|Mareep}}.

Ampharos can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Ampharos''' using the [[Ampharosite]].

Ampharos was officially revealed in the May 1997 issue of [[CoroCoro]], along with {{p|Donphan}} and {{p|Slowking}}.<ref>https://www.zoidsland.com/1rebyu-/koro97-5b.html</ref>

==Biology==
Ampharos is a yellow, bipedal {{wp|sheep|ovine}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a white belly. It has conical ears with black stripes and a red orb on its forehead. Its long neck has several black rings around it near the base. Its stubby arms resemble flippers and each foot has a single white nail. It has a long, black-striped tail with a red orb at the tip. The orb on its tail can shine so bright, that it can be seen from space. People have used the light as a beacon, or to send signals across the ocean. Ampharos is generally found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}, though it can also be found in farms alongside its pre-evolved forms {{p|Mareep}} and {{p|Flaaffy}}. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, the tail light of a sleeping Ampharos can sometimes seen in the distance at night.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> This is due to Ampharos forgetting to turn its tail light off before going to sleep.

===Forms===
Ampharos can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Ampharos.

As [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Ampharos, its toes turn black and it regrows white wool at the back of its head and over its tail, having its genes stimulated by Mega Evolution. This energy also awakens its long-dormant dragon blood. Its long wooly tail has many small, red orbs attached to it. Its conical ears retain their stripes but are now segmented with swirled tips. When it increases the amount of electrical energy within itself, the red orbs on its body and wool emit a strong light.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160406143554/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Mega%20Ampharos Mega Ampharos]</ref> Mega Ampharos can generate an electric barrier for defense, shocking anyone caught within it. Additionally, it can create electric spots on the ground that, along with lightning attacks, release orbs that explode over time.

Ampharos resembles a sheared {{wp|sheep}} that its evolutionary line leads up to as they lose wool with each [[Evolution]]. It also shares traits with a {{wp|lighthouse}}, such as its height, stripes, and the beacon on the top; the two also share a name. It, as well as its pre-evolved forms, may have been based on the title of the sci-fi novel ''{{wp|Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?}}''.

[[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Ampharos's {{t|Dragon}} type, wooly mane, wooly tail, jewel-like orbs on its tail, and slender body suggests that it may be based on a {{wp|Chinese dragon}}.

====Name origin====
Ampharos may be a combination of ''{{wp|ampere|amp}}'' (a measure of electrical current) and Φάρος ''pháros'' (Greek for lighthouse), as well as ''amparo'' (Portuguese and Spanish for ''aid'' and ''protection'').

Denryu may be derived from 電流 ''denryū'' (electric current), as well as forming a pun on 電竜 ''den ryū'' (electric dragon). It may also incorporate 電球 ''denkyū'' (light bulb), referring to its tail.

The '''Light Clay''' (Japanese: '''ひかりのねんど''' ''Light Clay'') is a type of [[held item]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

==In the core series games==
===Price===
{{ItemPrice/head|items}}
{{ItemPrice|{{gameabbrev4|DPPtHGSS}} {{gameabbrev5|BWB2W2}} {{gameabbrev6|XYORAS}} {{gameabbrev8|BDSP}}|N/A|{{PDollar}}100}}

|}
|}

===Effect===
If the Pokémon holding this item uses {{m|Light Screen}}, {{m|Reflect}}, or {{m|Aurora Veil}}, the effects of those moves last eight turns instead of five turns.

If one of these moves is stolen by {{m|Snatch}}, the duration depends on whether the Pokémon that ultimately uses the move holds the Light Clay (regardless of whether the original user held it).

In the [[Generation VII]] games, if these effects have their duration extended by the Light Clay, the turn counter on the user interface for these effects will indicate that it lasts for 8 turns for the player whose Pokémon used the move, while it will display that it lasts for 5 turns for their opponent. After 5 turns of that effect have passed, the user interface will display that it lasts for 8 turns for both players.

Wind move

2025-01-04T15:28:01Z

Oddkidd:

[[File:Gust IX.png|thumb|250px|{{m|Gust}} in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}]]
A '''wind move''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|風技|かぜわざ}}''' ''wind move'') is any [[move]] that uses wind. Wind moves have some unique properties and effects. The mechanic was introduced in [[Generation IX]].

Wind moves like {{m|Gust}} have existed since [[Generation I]], but in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, wind became a mechanic; moves that use wind become flagged when used against {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with specific {{Abilities}}.

==In the games==
In the [[core series]] games, wind moves have the following effects:
* Pokémon with the {{a|Wind Rider}} [[Ability]] are immune to damage from other Pokémon's wind moves, receiving an increase in {{stat|Attack}} by one stage instead. The increase is also received when {{m|Tailwind}} takes effect, in addition to the speed boost effect from Tailwind. {{m|Sandstorm}} does not interact with Wind Rider.
* When a Pokémon with the {{a|Wind Power}} Ability is hit by a wind move or when Tailwind takes effect, it becomes {{m|Charge|charged}}, boosting the power of its next {{type|Electric}} move. Sandstorm does not interact with Wind Power.
* The accuracy of {{m|Hurricane}}, {{m|Blizzard}}, {{m|Bleakwind Storm}}, {{m|Wildbolt Storm}}, and {{m|Sandsear Storm}} are affected by the [[weather]].
** During {{weather|hail}} (in [[Generation IV]]-{{gen|VIII}}) and [[snow]] (from [[Generation IX]] onwards), Blizzard ignores accuracy and evasion checks.
** During [[rain]], Hurricane ignores accuracy and evasion checks; during [[harsh sunlight]], Hurricane only has 50% accuracy.
** In Generation IX, during rain, Bleakwind Storm, Wildbolt Storm, and Sandsear Storm ignore accuracy and evasion checks.
** In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} only, Blizzard also has a 30% chance to hit through {{m|Protect}} or {{m|Detect}} when used in hail or rain, respectively.

'''Meteor Beam''' (Japanese: '''メテオビーム''' ''Meteor Beam'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Rock}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]]. It is [[TM220]] in [[Generation IX]].

==Effect==
On the turn it is selected, Meteor Beam will raise the user's {{stat|Special Attack}} by one stage, and the message "[User] is overflowing with space power!" will be shown. On the following turn, Meteor Beam will do damage (factoring in the Special Attack boost), [[PP]] will be deducted from it, and it will count as the last move used. Once Meteor Beam is selected, the user won't be able to switch out until it is disrupted or fully executed.

{{status|Sleep}}, {{status|freeze|freezing}}, [[Bound|binding]], and [[flinch]]ing will pause but not disrupt the duration of Meteor Beam.

If a [[Power Herb]] is held by the user, Meteor Beam can be executed in one turn. The user will charge and boost their Special Attack, consume the Power Herb, then execute the final stage of the move in the same turn. The Special Attack boost is applied because the charging stage is still performed.

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

==Description==
{{movedesc|Rock}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev8|SwShLA}}|In this two-turn attack, the user gathers space power and boosts its Sp. Atk stat, then attacks the target on the next turn.}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev8|BDSP}}|This move can't be used. It's recommended that this move is forgotten. Once forgotten, this move can't be remembered.}}

|'''Activation Condition:''' When the user's Sp. Atk is raised.

'''Deactivation Condition:''' When the user's Sp. Atk is not raised.

The user gets ready to attack. Raises the user's Sp. Atk by one stat rank when it gets ready to attack. (The user's Sp. Atk will not rise if it has not gotten ready to attack.) Using this move again will cause the user to leave this posture, then attack. No other actions can be taken while ready to attack. Never misses. The more the target's Sp. Def is lowered, the greater the power of this attack. Lowers the target's Sp. Def by one stat rank when it is poisoned or badly poisoned. The preparation period is skipped when a circle applies to the allied field of play, and the user will attack right away.
| style="{{roundybr|5px}}" | {{sync|Selene|Nihilego|Alt.}}
|}
Notes:
* {{sync|Selene|Nihilego|Alt.}}'s passive {{mas|skill}} Alola to You! makes this move lower the Sp. Def of each target by two stat ranks instead of one when the target is poisoned or badly poisoned.
* The power of this move scales for each Sp. Def drop on the target, increasing by 5% for each stat rank dropped, for a maximum power-up of 30%.

'''Maushold''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イッカネズミ''' ''Ikkanezumi'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Tandemaus}} starting at [[level]] 25 only when leveled up in a [[Pokémon battle|battle]]. It will still evolve but skip the [[Evolution#Animations|Evolution animation]] if leveled up in a battle it was not sent out in.

Maushold has two separate [[#Form data|forms]]: '''Family of Four''' and '''Family of Three'''. When Tandemaus evolves, it has a 1/100 chance of evolving into Family of Three Maushold.

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

==Biology==
[[File:MausholdPaldeaEvolved226.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Maushold's nest has many specialized rooms]]
Maushold is a group of three or four separate mouse-like {{wp|rodent}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} which work together as one, similar to {{p|Exeggcute}}, {{p|Falinks}}, or its pre-evolved form {{p|Tandemaus}}. Each individual is small, white, and bipedal, and has a spherical head with large ears and stubby limbs that have large paws. Each one also has two black beady eyes, a tiny black nose with short whiskers, and a long tail which curls up and ends with a bulbous tip. When they open their mouths, which take up over half of their faces when fully open, a single upper incisor can be seen on the insides of each one.

Two of the individuals are larger, and their appearance is virtually unchanged from Tandemaus, where one has a light-gray patch of fur surrounding its chest which resembles a shirt, while the other has a light-gray patch of fur surrounding its legs, which resembles a pair of pants. The pair are accompanied by one or two smaller ones, which lack the light-gray patch of fur and have shorter tails and stubbier limbs. The smaller ones tend to hide behind the larger pair, and hold onto the tips of their tails when walking.

No one knows where the smaller individuals that form Maushold come from. The larger and smaller individuals live together and act as a family; however, their actual relationship is unclear. The larger individuals protect the smaller ones in battle, although they will all work together when faced with strong opponents. Maushold create and live in huge nests comprising many rooms with different purposes, such as eating and sleeping.

Maushold and its pre-evolved form, {{p|Tandemaus}}, are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Population Bomb}}.

===Form data===
Maushold has two non-interchangeable forms: Family of Four and Family of Three. Aside from a weight difference, the difference between the two forms is purely aesthetic (though they also have different [[cry|cries]]). The form {{p|Tandemaus}} [[Evolution|evolves]] into is determined based on its [[personality value#Maushold's form|encryption constant]], with a 99% chance of it evolving into the Family of Four form and a 1% chance of it evolving into the Family of Three form. This is not the case for {{pkmn2|wild}} Maushold encountered in [[Tera Raid Battle]]s, as these will have a predetermined form (Family of Three in 4★ raids or Family of Four in 6★ raids) regardless of their encryption constant value.

==In the manga==
==In the TCG==
{{main|Maushold (TCG)}}

==Trivia==
* Although Family of Three Maushold is rarer and does not have official key artwork, it is the primary form of Maushold as listed in the code for {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. In [[Pokémon HOME]], the Pokédex considers Family of Three the primary form, while the Pokémon Guidebook considers Family of Four the primary form.
* Maushold and its pre-evolved form were designed by [[Megumi Mizutani]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/megtany/status/1607179613431824384 Megumi Mizutani on Twitter]</ref>
* Maushold and its pre-evolved form are the only [[gender unknown]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the {{egg|Field}} [[Egg Group]], and the only {{type|Normal}} Pokémon [[List of Pokémon by shape#Pokémon consisting of multiple bodies|to consist of multiple bodies]].
* Maushold is the only Pokémon to have {{a|Friend Guard}} as a standard [[Ability]] instead of a [[Hidden Ability]].
* In [[Generation IX]], prior to the Version 2.0.1 update of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Maushold was unable to learn {{m|Baton Pass}} via [[TM]], while its pre-evolved form could.

===Origin===
Maushold seems to be based on a family of {{wp|mouse|mice}}. Specifically, based on its white coloration and its Pokédex entries describing how it lives in large nests with dedicated rooms, it may be based on {{wp|laboratory mouse|laboratory mice}} and how they are studied in simulacra of human behavior. Its forms may be based on the concept of a {{wp|nuclear family}}, and its doll-like appearance may reference {{wp|dollhouse}} figurines such as the Japanese doll line {{wp|Sylvanian Families}}.

====Name origin====
Maushold may be a combination of ''Maus'' (German for mouse) and ''household''. It may also be a pun on ''mouse hole''.

Ikkanezumi may be a combination of 一家 ''ikka'' (family) and 鼠 ''nezumi'' (mouse).

'''Electro Shot''' (Japanese: '''エレクトロビーム''' ''Electro Beam'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Electric}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation IX]]. It is the [[signature move]] of {{p|Archaludon}}.

==Effect==
On the turn it is selected, Electro Shot will raise the user's {{stat|Special Attack}} stat by one stage, and the message "[User] absorbed electricity!" will be shown. On the following turn, Electro Shot will do damage (factoring in the Special Attack boost), [[PP]] will be deducted from it, and it will count as the last move used. Once Electro Shot is selected, the user won't be able to switch out until it is disrupted or fully executed. Electro Shot will not need a turn to charge if used during [[rain]].

{{status|Sleep}}, {{status|freeze|freezing}}, and [[flinch]]ing will pause but not disrupt the duration of Electro Shot.

If a [[Power Herb]] is held by the user, Electro Shot can be executed in one turn. The user will charge and boost their Special Attack, consume the Power Herb, then execute the final stage of the move in the same turn. The Special Attack boost is applied because the charging stage is still performed.

Electro Shot's damage is boosted by {{a|Sheer Force}} despite not suppressing any additional effects.<ref>https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1735811637041390039</ref>

==Description==
{{movedesc|Electric}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev9|SV}}|The user gathers electricity on the first turn, boosting its Sp. Atk stat, then fires a high-voltage shot on the next turn. The shot will be fired immediately in rain.}}

'''Meteor Beam''' (Japanese: '''メテオビーム''' ''Meteor Beam'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Rock}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]]. It is [[TM220]] in [[Generation IX]].

==Effect==
On the turn it is selected, Meteor Beam will raise the user's {{stat|Special Attack}} by one stage, and the message "[User] is overflowing with space power!" will be shown. On the following turn, Meteor Beam will do damage (factoring in the Special Attack boost), [[PP]] will be deducted from it, and it will count as the last move used. Once Meteor Beam is selected, the user won't be able to switch out until it is disrupted or fully executed.

{{status|Sleep}}, {{status|freeze|freezing}}, [[Bound|binding]], and [[flinch]]ing will pause but not disrupt the duration of Meteor Beam.

If a [[Power Herb]] is held by the user, Meteor Beam can be executed in one turn. The user will charge and boost their {{stat|Special Attack}}, consume the Power Herb, then execute the final stage of the move in the same turn. The Special Attack boost is applied because the charging stage is still performed.

|'''Activation Condition:''' When the user's Sp. Atk is raised.

'''Deactivation Condition:''' When the user's Sp. Atk is not raised.

The user gets ready to attack. Raises the user's Sp. Atk by one stat rank when it gets ready to attack. (The user's Sp. Atk will not rise if it has not gotten ready to attack.) Using this move again will cause the user to leave this posture, then attack. No other actions can be taken while ready to attack. Never misses. The more the target's Sp. Def is lowered, the greater the power of this attack. Lowers the target's Sp. Def by one stat rank when it is poisoned or badly poisoned. The preparation period is skipped when a circle applies to the allied field of play, and the user will attack right away.
| style="{{roundybr|5px}}" | {{sync|Selene|Nihilego|Alt.}}
|}
Notes:
* {{sync|Selene|Nihilego|Alt.}}'s passive {{mas|skill}} Alola to You! makes this move lower the Sp. Def of each target by two stat ranks instead of one when the target is poisoned or badly poisoned.
* The power of this move scales for each Sp. Def drop on the target, increasing by 5% for each stat rank dropped, for a maximum power-up of 30%.

'''Meteor Beam''' (Japanese: '''メテオビーム''' ''Meteor Beam'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Rock}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]]. It is [[TM220]] in [[Generation IX]].

==Effect==
On the turn it is selected, Meteor Beam will raise the user's {{stat|Special Attack}} by one stage, and the message "[User] is overflowing with space power!" will be shown. On the following turn, Meteor Beam will do damage (factoring in the Special Attack boost), [[PP]] will be deducted from it, and it will count as the last move used. Once Meteor Beam is selected, the user won't be able to switch out until it is disrupted or fully executed.

{{status|Sleep}}, {{status|freeze|freezing}}, [[Bound|binding]], and [[flinch]]ing will pause but not disrupt the duration of Meteor Beam.

If a [[Power Herb]] is held by the user, Meteor Beam can be executed in one turn. The user will charge the move, consume the Power Herb, then execute the final stage of the move in the same turn. Because the charging stage is still performed, the {{stat|Special Attack}} boost from Meteor Beam is still applied.

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

{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev8|BDSP}}|This move can't be used. It's recommended that this move is forgotten. Once forgotten, this move can't be remembered.}}

|'''Activation Condition:''' When the user's Sp. Atk is raised.

'''Deactivation Condition:''' When the user's Sp. Atk is not raised.

The user gets ready to attack. Raises the user's Sp. Atk by one stat rank when it gets ready to attack. (The user's Sp. Atk will not rise if it has not gotten ready to attack.) Using this move again will cause the user to leave this posture, then attack. No other actions can be taken while ready to attack. Never misses. The more the target's Sp. Def is lowered, the greater the power of this attack. Lowers the target's Sp. Def by one stat rank when it is poisoned or badly poisoned. The preparation period is skipped when a circle applies to the allied field of play, and the user will attack right away.
| style="{{roundybr|5px}}" | {{sync|Selene|Nihilego|Alt.}}
|}
Notes:
* {{sync|Selene|Nihilego|Alt.}}'s passive {{mas|skill}} Alola to You! makes this move lower the Sp. Def of each target by two stat ranks instead of one when the target is poisoned or badly poisoned.
* The power of this move scales for each Sp. Def drop on the target, increasing by 5% for each stat rank dropped, for a maximum power-up of 30%.

'''Torchic''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アチャモ''' ''Achamo'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Combusken}} starting at [[level]] 16, which evolves into {{p|Blaziken}} starting at [[level]] 36.

Along with {{p|Treecko}} and {{p|Mudkip}}, Torchic is one of the three [[Hoenn first partner Pokémon|first partner Pokémon of Hoenn]] available at the beginning of [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]], {{v2|Emerald}}, [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire]].

==Biology==
Torchic is a small, chick {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with stubby, downy, yellow wings. Its body is covered with orange feathers and a fluffy coat of down. There is an orange and yellow crest on its head that resembles a flame. Its two thin legs and short beak are a light brownish yellow, and the feet have three toes in front and one in the back. A male Torchic will have a small black speck on its rear that is not present in females.

Within Torchic's belly, this Pokémon has a flame sac filled with a burning fire. This internal flame causes Torchic to feel warm if hugged. The warmth feels similar to a warm water bottle. As long as Torchic is alive, the internal flame will burn continuously. When attacked, it will shoot fireballs of 1,800 °F (1,000 °C) at its foes, leaving them scorched black. It dislikes darkness, as it cannot see its surroundings. Torchic will follow its {{pkmn|Trainer}} with unsteady steps. While Torchic is rarely found in the wild, it is known to inhabit {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}. It has been recently seen living in the [[Terarium]] of [[Blueberry Academy]].

===Evolution===
Torchic evolves into {{p|Combusken}}, which evolves into {{p|Blaziken}}.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]].)

====Trophy information====
''"A Chick Pokémon. It's a Fire-type that has a flame sac in its belly where it produces fireballs reaching 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit--it shoots these out of its mouth. While Torchic is as cute as can be, it evolves into the powerful Combusken when it levels up. It also then becomes a Fire and {{t|Fighting}} combination."''
{{-}}

==Trivia==
[[File:Torchic Beta.jpg|thumb|250px|Concept Art of Torchic]]
* Concept art from {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} portrays a different Torchic design, with large floppy ears and a flame-shaped marking on the back of its head.
* Torchic and its evolved forms are the only Pokémon in a [[first partner Pokémon]] evolutionary line to have [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]].
** Additionally, Torchic is the only Pokémon in the first stage of a first partner Pokémon to have gender differences (though its own is very easily missed, being only a one-pixel difference).
** The reason the gender difference is very easily missed with Torchic could be a reference to real life male chicks, who have one or few slightly longer feathers that are easily missed like the black speck on male Torchic that was only one pixel in size.
* Torchic is the only one of the first partner Pokémon to [[List of Pokémon by shape|consist only of a head and legs]].

===Origin===
Torchic is based on a {{wp|chicken}} hatchling. In particular, Torchic's bright orange coloration is based on painted chicks, which are chicks whose feathers are dyed with paint and are typically sold during festivals and fairs.<ref name=ND84>''Nintendo Dream'' Volume 84, February/March 2003 ([http://lavacutcontent.com/sugimori-masuda-gen-3-interview/ English translation] written by Jacob Newcomb and commissioned by Dr. Lava)</ref> It may also be specifically based on the {{wp|Basan (legendary bird)|basan}}, a legendary fire-breathing chicken in Japanese folklore.

Torchic's gender difference may be based on {{wp|Chick sexing#Vent sexing|vent sexing}}, a {{wp|chick sexing}} technique that originated in Japan, where feces is squeezed out of the chick in order to open its {{wp|cloaca}}, allowing the chick sexer to observe whether it has a bump inside its cloaca. Normally only male chicks have this bump.

====Name origin====
Torchic may be a combination of ''{{wp|torch}}'' and ''chick'' (a baby bird).

Achamo may be a combination of 赤ちゃん ''akachan'' (baby) and 軍鶏 ''{{wp|Shamo (chicken)|shamo}}'' (a breed of Japanese chicken once raised for fighting).

[[File:WoolooCrownZenith121.jpg|thumb|left|150px|A rolling Wooloo]]
Wooloo is a black {{wp|sheep|ovine}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a thick coat of white wool that makes it look spherical. Its small head pokes out of the front of the wool, along with two short horns. Wooloo's eyes have yellow sclerae, black irises, and white, horizontal pupils. Two large ears are visible behind gray strings of wool that resemble braided pigtails. Wooloo's wool covers its entire body and most of its short hooved legs, along with a tail that is barely visible on its rear end.

Wooloo's fleece is extremely fluffy and can serve as a cushion, allowing it to survive even a fall from a cliff without any injuries. Its fur grows continuously, being able to fully grow back in just three months after it is completely shaved. The fur is a specialty product in [[Galar]], being used for clothing and carpets; the clothing made from Wooloo's wool has a remarkable strength. If Wooloo's fur grows too long, it will be unable to move. Wooloo live in herds and are known to mimic the actions of their herd leader or Trainer. They have a friendly disposition and dislike conflict, and can escape from enemies by simply rolling away.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/wooloo/ Wooloo | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref> {{p|Yamper}} is used to herd Wooloo.

==Trivia==
[[File:Company Icon Daily Discovery.png|thumb|150px|Icon of Daily Discovery]]
* The company logo for [[Poké Job|Daily Discovery]] depicts a silhouette of a lock of hair from Wooloo.

===Origin===
Wooloo is based on a sheep,<ref name=InsideGamer/> perhaps specifically black-faced breeds of domestic sheep like the {{wp|Valais Blacknose}}. The shape of its wool resembles a {{wp|Cotton pad|cotton ball}}. The grey hair on the sides of its head appear to be stylized in form of {{wp|braid}}s.

In an interview with Inside.Gamer, {{g|Sword and Shield}} director [[Shigeru Ohmori]] mentioned that one challenge present when designing Wooloo is the existence of {{p|Mareep}}, another Pokémon designed after sheep.<ref name=InsideGamer>O., Jack (2019). "[https://inside.gamer.nl/in-gesprek-met-ohmori-en-masuda-over-pokemon-sword-en-shield/ In gesprek met Ohmori en Masuda over Pokémon Sword en Shield]." ''Inside.Gamer.nl'' (Dutch)</ref>

====Name origin====
Wooloo may be a combination of ''wool'' and ''{{wp|loom}}''. It may also be derived from the Japanese name.

Wooluu may be derived from ウール ''ūru'' (wool) with the final vowel elongated.

Purifying Salt (Ability)

{{AbilityInfobox/desc|IX|The Pokémon's pure salt protects it from status conditions and halves the damage taken from Ghost-type moves.}}
|}
'''Purifying Salt''' (Japanese: '''きよめのしお''' ''Purifying Salt'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation IX]]. It is the [[signature Ability]] of {{p|Nacli}}'s [[evolution]]ary line.

==Effect==
===In battle===
Purifying Salt grants the Pokémon immunity from all [[status condition]]s and halves the {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} of an attacking Pokémon during damage calculation if targeted by a {{type|Ghost}} move. {{m|Rest}} fails if used by a Pokémon with Purifying Salt.

If the Pokémon has a status condition and gains this Ability, the status condition will not be cured and remains in effect.

===Outside of battle===
Purifying Salt has no effect outside of battle.

==Trivia==
* The Ability's effect of reducing the damage done by {{type|Ghost}} attacks may reference the Japanese belief that salt can be used as a purifier and cleanser, and to ward off evil spirits.
** Additionally, the Ability's effect of giving immunity to status conditions may reference how salt was used in remedies to heal and protect against diseases, particularly by the ancient Egyptians and Greeks.

'''Litten''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ニャビー''' ''Nyabby'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Torracat}} starting at [[level]] 17, which evolves into {{p|Incineroar}} starting at level 34.

Along with {{p|Rowlet}} and {{p|Popplio}}, Litten is one of the three [[Alola first partner Pokémon|first partner Pokémon of Alola]] available at the beginning of {{game4|SMUSUM}}. They were also the second [[Generation VII]] Pokémon to be revealed to the public on May 10, 2016.

==Biology==
[[File:Litten SM concept art.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Concept art of Litten for {{g|Sun and Moon}}]]
Litten is a quadrupedal, feline {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} covered with primarily black fur. It has a short muzzle with a tiny, black nose, red eyes with yellow sclerae, and short, pointed ears with pale gray insides. There are two red stripes around each of its legs and two horizontal stripes with a vertical stripe across them on its forehead. The lower part of Litten's face is also red, and there is a large tuft of fur on each cheek. A tuft of fur sits at the end of its long tail. When it arches its back, three-pointed tufts of fur with red tips appear along its spine.

Litten is a solitary Pokémon that does not typically display its emotions, and it is usually advised that it not be given too much affection. It will scratch those who try to pet it without earning its trust, which takes some time to develop. While grooming, Litten collects fur inside its stomach. By setting the stored fur alight, it can spit fireballs that change based on how it coughs. Litten's fur produces flammable oils, and when it begins shedding, it burns all its fur in a blaze.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/litten/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Litten] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160510165729/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/litten/ Archive])</ref> Its fur coat regrows twice a year. It has been recently seen living in the [[Terarium]] of [[Blueberry Academy]].

==Trivia==
* Litten's Japanese name and its romanization were revealed in [https://twitter.com/trademark_bot/status/721918697921777664 a tweet] of their trademark on March 27, 2016.

===Origin===
Litten may be based on {{wp|Tabby cat#Mackerel tabby|mackerel tabbies}}, due to the stripes on its legs and the marking on its forehead, and {{wp|black cat}}s. Mackerel tabbies are also called "tiger cats" and Litten's coloration may be based on {{wp|tiger}}s. The combination of its forehead markings and its eyes appears to form one of the {{wp|Alchemy|alchemical}} symbols for {{wp|Sulfur#Antiquity|sulfur}}, a highly-flammable chemical.

====Name origin====
Litten may be a combination of ''lit'', ''little'', and ''kitten''. Or a pun of the word small in Swedish ''liten.''

Nyabby may be a combination of ニャー ''nyā'' (meow), ''{{wp|Tabby cat|tabby}}'', and 火 ''hi'' (fire).

'''Popplio''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アシマリ''' ''Ashimari'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Brionne}} starting at [[level]] 17, which evolves into {{p|Primarina}} starting at level 34.

Along with {{p|Rowlet}} and {{p|Litten}}, Popplio is one of the three [[Alola first partner Pokémon|first partner Pokémon of Alola]] available at the beginning of {{game4|SMUSUM}}. They were also the second [[Generation VII]] Pokémon to be revealed to the public on May 10, 2016.

==Biology==
[[File:0728Popplio 2.png|thumb|250px|left|Popplio enjoys making bubbles from water!]]
Popplio is a {{wp|pinniped}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that is primarily blue. It has large eyes, a long, white snout with black whiskers, and a round, pink nose. There is a small, rounded earflap on each side of its head. Around its neck is a light blue ruff, which extends past its shoulders. It has four flippers. The front flippers are larger than the hind and have white markings separating its toes.

Popplio can snort bubbles of water from its nose, which it uses as part of its battle strategy. On land, it uses the elasticity of its bubbles to perform acrobatic stunts and jumps. Popplio practices daily with increasingly larger water bubbles. The sheer force of their bubbles bursting can deal a lot of damage. It can swim at 25 mph (40 km/h)<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/popplio/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Popplio]</ref> Popplio has complete control of its water bubbles. Popplio is famous for its hard-working nature. It has been recently seen living in the [[Terarium]] of [[Blueberry Academy]].

Popplio and its evolved forms are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Liquid Voice}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===
Popplio evolves into {{p|Brionne}}, which evolves into {{p|Primarina}}.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Popplio (TCG)}}
==Trivia==
* Popplio shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Seel}} and {{p|Dewgong}}. They are all known as the Sea Lion Pokémon.
* Popplio's Japanese name and its romanization were revealed in [https://twitter.com/trademark_bot/status/721918697921777664 a tweet] of their trademark on April 17, 2016.
* Popplio and its evolved forms are the only [[first partner Pokémon]] to [[List of Pokémon by shape|have a piscine body]].

===Origin===
Popplio may be based on a {{wp|sea lion}} and a {{wp|Hawaiian monk seal}} with elements of a {{wp|circus clown}}. Popplio's propensity for blowing bubbles from its nose may also be based on common circus trick where sea lions balance balls on their noses or on the {{wp|hooded seal}} and its inflatable nasal cavity.

====Name origin====
Popplio may be a combination of ''sea lion pup'', ''pop'', ''pōpō'' (Hawaiian for ''ball''), and ''ʻīlio-holo-i-ka-uaua'' (Hawaiian for the ''{{wp|Hawaiian monk seal}}''; meaning "dog that runs in rough water").

Ashimari may be a combination of 海驢 ''ashika'' (sea lion), 鞠 ''mari'' (ball), and ''marine''.

Perish Body (Ability)

2024-12-14T10:57:34Z

Oddkidd: I think it's better this way.

{{AbilityInfobox/header
|name=Perish Body
|jpname=ほろびのボディ
|jptrans=Perish Body
|jptranslit=Horobi no Body
|colorscheme=Ghost
|gen=VIII
}}
{{AbilityInfobox/desc|VIII|When hit by a move that makes direct contact, the Pokémon and the attacker will faint after three turns unless they switch out of battle.}}
{{AbilityInfobox/desc|IX|When hit by a move that makes direct contact, the Pokémon and the attacker will faint after three turns unless they switch out of battle.}}
|}

'''Perish Body''' (Japanese: '''ほろびのボディ''' ''Perish Body'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]]. It is the [[signature Ability]] of {{p|Cursola}}.

It is the Ability equivalent of {{m|Perish Song}}.

==Effect==
===In battle===
{{AbilityResearch|How does Perish Body behave when struck by a move that forces a switch, such as U-Turn (user) or Dragon Tail (target)?}}
When the Pokémon with Perish Body is hit with a [[contact]] move, both the attacker and the Pokémon with Perish Body will faint in three turns. If the attacker already has a perish count or is wearing [[Protective Pads]] or has {{a|Long Reach}}, the Ability does not affect anyone.

===Outside of battle===
Perish Body has no effect outside of battle.

Heatproof (Ability)

2024-12-13T12:58:49Z

Oddkidd: fixed the seacon "in battle effect". needed a better explanation... it's basically like thicc fat.

|}
'''Heatproof''' (Japanese: '''たいねつ''' ''Heatproof'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation IV]]. Prior to [[Generation VIII]], it was the [[signature Ability]] of {{p|Bronzor}} and {{p|Bronzong}}.

==Effect==

===Outside of battle===
Heatproof has no effect outside of battle.

Talk:Wind move

2024-12-13T09:38:32Z

Oddkidd: /* Accuracy */

==Change the name==
The name should actually be wind move not wind-based move. The title for sound-based moves was derived from the dex entries and move descriptions from the core series games.

Dex entries for Wind Rider & Wind Power both mention wind moves, not wind-based moves. Could someone please change the title to ''Wind move''?

Appreciate it! --[[User:Oddkidd|Oddkidd]] ([[User talk:Oddkidd|talk]]) 10:21, 27 November 2024 (UTC)
:Fixed. Thanks for bringing this up! [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 02:25, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

== Accuracy ==

I'm not sure how relevant the section on [[weather]]-related accuracy changes is. Though all such moves are wind moves, not all wind moves experience this effect, and the only weather move also classified as a wind move is {{m|Sandstorm}}. [[User:Eragon4|Eragon4]] ([[User talk:Eragon4|talk]]) 17:56, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

:The fact is that weather affects certain wind moves differently, those said moves being weather-related too, like Hurricane and the storm moves. Sandstorm doesn't even matter.

:I think it's beneficial to include such info in the article. It does relate to the topic!....!!-[[User:Oddkidd|Oddkidd]] ([[User talk:Oddkidd|talk]]) 09:38, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

'''Bramblin''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アノクサ''' ''Anokusa'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It [[evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Brambleghast}} when [[level|leveled up]] while outside of its [[Poké Ball]] after the player walks 1000 steps using the [[Let's Go!]] feature.<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1678027317891694593</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1680044846403272704</ref>

==Biology==
[[File:Bramblin Wind Riding.png|thumb|left|Wind locomotion.]]
Bramblin is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a tumbleweed. It has small, rhombic, black, leaf-like eyes with thin red pupils that float inside its body, which itself comprises brownish yellow, jagged, thorny plant stalks that point up and curl slightly inward to form a spherical shape. The eyes don't blink and instead flip and rotate to express Bramblin's emotions. The stalks are held together by what appears to be the remnants of roots on the underside of its body.

Bramblin are created when wandering souls unable to move on get tangled and fused to dried grass. Bramblin's main form of locomotion is the wind, which blows it uncontrollably to destinations unknown. Bramblin despises getting wet. It makes its habitat in dry, rocky regions such as deserts.

===Evolution===
Bramblin evolves into {{p|Brambleghast}}.

==Trivia==
* Bramblin is tied with {{p|Sunkern}} and {{p|Lotad}} for having the lowest base {{stat|Defense}} of all {{type|Grass}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
Bramblin appears to be based on {{wp|tumbleweed}}s — certain types of plants which, when mature, have most of their cells dry out and die so that the wind can pick them up and allow them to disperse their seeds, hence Bramblin's {{t|Ghost}} type and Ability. Bramblin's secondary Ghost type may also be derived from the association of tumbleweeds with {{wp|ghost town}}s and empty deserts. Its eyes resemble tumbleweed seeds and the two thorns on its sides give the impression of {{wp|devil}} horns.

All of this also suggest that Bramblin may be strongly based on the Alicornio <ref>[https://murciaplaza.com/animales-fantasticos-murcianos Animales fantásticos murcianos]</ref>, a demon from the {{wp|Region of Murcia|Murcian}} folklore that hides himself on an tumbleweed and appears on days of strong winds to snatch the souls of the passersby.

Bramblin's cry is reminiscent of the whistling sound at the beginning of {{wp|The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (theme)|the theme from}} ''{{wp|The Good, the Bad and the Ugly}}'', perhaps alluding to the tumbleweed being a common sight in {{wp|spaghetti Western}} movie scenes. Bramblin not knowing where it is going may reference the drifter character archetype that is a staple of the Western genre. It originating from Paldea might be a reference to how many Western movies were filmed in Spain.

====Name origin====
Bramblin may be a combination of ''bramble'' and ''rambling'', ''goblin'', or ''gremlin''.

Anokusa may be derived from the phrase あの草 ''ano kusa'' (that grass).

==In the TCG==

==Trivia==
* Bramblin is tied with {{p|Sunkern}} and {{p|Lotad}} for having the lowest base {{stat|Defense}} of all {{type|Grass}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
Bramblin appears to be based on {{wp|tumbleweed}}s — certain types of plants which, when mature, have most of their cells dry out and die so that the wind can pick them up and allow them to disperse their seeds, hence Bramblin's {{t|Ghost}} type and Ability. Bramblin's secondary Ghost type may also be derived from the association of tumbleweeds with {{wp|ghost town}}s and empty deserts. Its eyes resemble tumbleweed seeds and the two thorns on its sides give the impression of {{wp|devil}} horns.

All of this also suggest that Bramblin may be strongly based on the Alicornio <ref>[https://murciaplaza.com/animales-fantasticos-murcianos Animales fantásticos murcianos]</ref>, a demon from the {{wp|Region of Murcia|Murcian}} folklore that hides himself on an tumbleweed and appears on days of strong winds to snatch the souls of the passersby.

Bramblin's cry is reminiscent of the whistling sound at the beginning of {{wp|The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (theme)|the theme from}} ''{{wp|The Good, the Bad and the Ugly}}'', perhaps alluding to the tumbleweed being a common sight in {{wp|spaghetti Western}} movie scenes. Bramblin not knowing where it is going may reference the drifter character archetype that is a staple of the Western genre. It originating from Paldea might be a reference to how many Western movies were filmed in Spain.

====Name origin====
Bramblin may be a combination of ''bramble'' and ''rambling'', ''goblin'', or ''gremlin''.

Anokusa may be derived from the phrase あの草 ''ano kusa'' (that grass).

Springtide Storm (move)

2024-11-27T11:56:06Z

Oddkidd: Moved the trivia to the Gen IX effect section. It's not really trivia since all its variations have info on rain, this move's accuracy being unaffected by rain is a good info to convey.

'''Springtide Storm''' (Japanese: '''はるのあらし''' ''Spring Storm'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Fairy}} [[move]] introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]. It is the [[signature move]] of {{p|Enamorus}}.

==Effect==
===Generation VIII===
Springtide Storm inflicts damage. If used by Incarnate Forme {{p|Enamorus}}, or something that {{m|Mimic}}ked the move, it has a chance of boosting user's offensive and defensive stats. In its Therian Forme, it has a chance of lowering the target's offensive and defensive stats.

}}

===Generation IX===
Springtide Storm's base power was increased to 100. In a battle with multiple opponents, Springtide Storm will target all adjacent opponents. Enamorus's form no longer influences its additional effect; it always has a 30% chance of lowering each target's {{stat|Attack}} by one stage.

Unlike its variations {{m|Bleakwind Storm}}, {{m|Wildbolt Storm}}, and {{m|Sandsear Storm}}, Springtide Storm's [[accuracy]] is unaffected by [[rain]], and its maximum PP did not change in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

Springtide Storm is a [[wind-based move]].
