'''Giratina''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ギラティナ''' ''Giratina'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Dragon}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

While it is similar to other legendary Pokémon in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, including its post-National Pokédex appearance and lack of relation to the games' overall plot, it was revealed in early February 2008 to have an [[Form differences#Giratina|alternate form]] known as the Origin Forme, in addition to the form it takes in Diamond and Pearl, the Altered Forme. It is in this new form that Giratina took its place as [[version mascot]] of {{game|Platinum}}, the third version of [[Generation IV]]'s Sinnoh-based games.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
As first revealed by Japan's CoroCoro Magazine, Giratina has two forms. The first (Altered Forme) is the form that appeared in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. In this form, Giratina has a large, gray, centipede-like body with six short legs. Its legs have gold claws and gold bands on them. It has a tail and a thick black stripe running vertically along the front of its body. There is a series of red horizontal stripes running across the large black one. Three gold half-rings circle the back half of Giratina's neck at the same points that three of the red stripes are at on its front, resembling a ribcage. On its back are two large, black wings that are decorated with red, conical objects that also could be claws. The wings seem oddly out of place, due to the fact that Giratina seems far too heavy to fly effectively. The wings also seem to be ghostly, as they can change shape as if they were made of a liquid or gas.

Giratina's head and eyes resemble those of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, causing many to theorize that it is related to the two. This assumption is confirmed in Pokémon Platinum. Giratina's {{shiny2}} form is nearly opposite in color compared to the original. The colors of the shiny Origin Forme is the same as the Altered Forme's except for the wings which appear to be a dark shade of brown.

The second is a new Origin Forme which made its debut in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. It uses this form when traveling through dimensions other than ours, such as the Distortion World, its home. The form-altering is triggered by a change of gravity. This form is more serpentine than Giratina's Altered Forme. The Origin Forme of Giratina has six black streamers on its back that each have a ghostly red spike at the end. Its mouth is hidden by the head plates, which swing open sideways when the mouth is opening. Giratina's legs have been reduced to spike-like protrusions. There are four more golden spikes near the edge of the tail. This version of Giratina also appears in {{game|Platinum}}, and can be activated outside of the [[Distortion World]] if it is holding a {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Griseous Orb}}.

====Gender differences====
Giratina is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
Giratina is able to travel through and control dimensions besides those of time and space. When in its Origin Forme, it is able to pass through dimensions at will, however, it will turn back to its Altered Forme due to the gravity change from the [[Reverse World]]. It does so by emitting a whirlwind from its mouth which creates a portal.

It also seems to have a connection to reflective objects, such as mirrors and pools of water. Reflections embody the concept of the Reverse World.

As to be expected with other {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon, Giratina is capable of using Ghost, {{t|Dark}}, {{t|Psychic}} and {{t|Electric}}al attacks. Unlike other {{t|Dragon}} Pokémon, Giratina lacks the ability to wield {{t|Ice}}- and {{type2|Fire}} attacks (save for {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, which most Ghost-types learn anyway). Giratina is one out of seven Pokémon that is capable of using {{m|Aura Sphere}}. Since Giratina is a "true" Dragon Pokémon, it is also capable of using {{m|Draco Meteor}}.

In Platinum, Giratina can transform to its Origin Forme by equipping the Griseous Orb. If the orb is unequipped in battle, it goes back to Altered Forme. The Origin Forme has higher offensive stats while the Altered Forme has higher defenses. Since Giratina's Origin Forme (and the Griseous Orb, for that matter) is exclusive to Platinum, or HeartGold and Soul Silver via event, when it is traded to Diamond or Pearl it will revert back to its Altered Forme, and the Griseous Orb it was holding goes back into the player's bag.

Giratina is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Shadow Force}}.

===Behavior===
Judging by the events in Pokémon Platinum and ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', its portrayal in [[Sinnoh myths|ancient folklore]], and its Platinum Pokédex entry, it's assumed that Giratina is a highly aggressive and territorial Pokémon protective of [[Distortion World|its home]]. It should be noted that despite the legends depicting it in a more evil light than the others in its trio, Giratina arrived at Spear Pillar to save the world from Cyrus' attempted apotheosis; though it may have arrived to protect its own world from destruction.

===Habitat===
Legends claim that Giratina appear in cemeteries and that this Pokémon species supposedly lives in the spirit world, on the reverse side of ours. It was banished for violence. Giratina are also known to make their home in either the [[Distortion World]] or [[Reverse World]].

==In the anime==
[[Image:{{#ifexpr: ({{#time: H}} mod 2) = 0|Giratina Altered anime.png|Giratina Origin Form.png}}|thumb|right|210px|Giratina in its {{#ifexpr: ({{#time: H}} mod 2) = 0|Altered|Origin}} Forme]]
{{an|Giratina}} made its anime debut in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. In the movie, Giratina ambushes and drags {{an|Dialga}} into the [[Reverse World]] in order to exact revenge against the Temporal Pokémon for causing damage to it during its fight with {{an|Palkia}} [[M10|some time before]]. [[Zero]] also attempts to copy Giratina's powers in order to take control over the Reverse World. Throughout the movie, Giratina takes on its Origin Forme whenever it is in the Reverse World, and its Altered Forme whenever it is in the real world.

The Giratina makes a second appearance in the [[M12|twelfth movie]] alongside {{an|Dialga}}, {{an|Palkia}}, and {{p|Arceus}}.

An illusion of Giratina appeared in ''[[DP148|Try for the Family Stone!]]''.

Giratina appeared in Meowth's [[boss fantasy]] in [[DP173]].

==In the manga==
Giratina appears in ''{{OBP|Giratina and the Sky Warrior|manga}}''. Much like in the movie, it attacks Dialga and drags it into the Reverse World, and later is hunted by Zero. In ''{{OBP|Arceus and the Jewel of Life|manga}}'', Giratina reappears alongside Dialga and Palkia to face off against Arceus.

* Giratina is the only member of [[Dragon trio|its trio]] that does not have the first letter of the game it is mascot to match the first letter of its name.
* Giratina is the only dual-type Pokémon that has weaknesses to both of its own types, as well as the only {{type2|Ghost}} legendary Pokémon.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Giratina.
* Giratina has the highest HP stat of all legendary Pokémon, however, it is tied with non-legendaries {{p|Slaking}} and {{p|Drifblim}} and beaten by {{p|Snorlax}}, {{p|Wailord}}, {{p|Wobbuffet}}, {{p|Chansey}}, and {{p|Blissey}}, all non-legendary.
* Giratina is one of very few non-{{type2|Flying}} Pokémon that is able to learn {{m|Fly}}. The others are: {{p|Vibrava}}, {{p|Flygon}}, {{p|Latios}}, and {{p|Latias}} (all four of which have the [[ability]] {{a|Levitate}}), {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Smeargle}}, and {{p|Arceus}} (all three of which can learn all [[HM]] moves). It is the only one who does not permanently keep Levitate. Additionally, before the revelation of its Origin Forme, it was unique in learning Fly but not having legitimate access to Levitate at all.
* It is one of eight Pokémon which can change forms, the other seven being {{p|Castform}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Cherrim}}, {{p|Burmy}}, {{p|Rotom}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, and {{p|Arceus}}. Giratina's Origin Forme is only available in {{game|Platinum}} and later games.
** It is the only member of its trio with the ability to change forms.
** This makes it the only [[version mascot]] that has different forms.
* In {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, Giratina is met at level 70, while {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}} are met at level 47, but in {{v2|Platinum}}, Giratina is met at level 47, while {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} are met at level 70.
*Among all members of the Dragon trio, Giratina is the only one not having Special Attack as its highest stat, having HP as its highest stat.
* Giratina, as of Platinum, is the only Pokémon to come out from above instead of from the left of the screen during the start of the battle.
* When Giratina first appears in battle in the Distortion World, it does not have a shadow (as there is no "ground" on the other side of the field), however, after using {{m|Shadow Force}} or breaking out from a Poké Ball, it will have one.
* The first shown sprite of its Origin Forme was not used in Platinum.
* Giratina is the only one of the [[dragon trio]] with a catch rate of 3.
** In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]], Giratina is the only one of the dragon trio without a 100% [[Recruitment|recruit rate]].
* In its Origin Forme, Giratina has the highest {{stat|Attack}} stat of all {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon.
* Giratina's Altered Forme is the second heaviest of all Pokémon, surpassed only by {{p|Groudon}}; however, its Origin Forme is the fourth heaviest.
* Giratina is the only Pokémon in a legendary trio that is separated from the other members of its group in the Pokédex; {{p|Heatran}} and {{p|Regigigas}} separate Giratina from {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}.
* Giratina is the only Pokémon of its trio whose {{m|Shadow Force|signature move}} is not of the {{type|Dragon}}.
** It is also the only Pokémon of its trio whose signature move is in the [[Physical]] category.
* Giratina is the only one of its trio without a jewel located somewhere on its body.
** Therefore, it cannot learn {{m|Power Gem}}, unlike the other members of its trio.
* Giratina is considered to be the forgotten one among itself, Dialga and Palkia, even though all three were created by {{p|Arceus}}.
* Giratina is the only Pokémon that is able to successfully use the Griseous Orb; a Ditto that transforms into an Origin Forme Giratina during battle will immediately change back into Altered Forme (unless in battle with it in the Distortion World).
* In {{v2|Platinum}}, if Giratina is knocked out in the [[Distortion World]], it can be battled again in [[Turnback Cave]] (and thus in Altered Forme).
** If it is defeated a second time in the Turnback Cave battle, it will reappear in one week for another battle. It shares this trait with {{p|Heatran}}. However, the items rewarded for completing Turnback Cave's maze will be unavailable during this time.
* In interviews [[Junichi Masuda]] and Takeshi Kawachimaru did for G4, it was said that Giratina and its Distortion World were created to be personifications of {{wp|antimatter}}; this is bluntly stated and confirmed in HeartGold and SoulSilver by [[Cynthia]].
* Giratina is the only Pokémon that appears last in a regional Pokédex listing that is not an event-exclusive Pokémon.
* Giratina's footprint appears in Platinum only if the Altered Forme is encountered before the Origin Forme is; this can only occur by trading a Giratina in from another game. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, regardless of which Forme of Giratina is encountered first, its Pokédex page will feature the footprint of Altered Forme.
* Giratina's roar in the movie is the same as {{wp|King Ghidorah}}'s death cry roar.
* While Giratina is preparing to use its signature move {{m|Shadow Force}}, the player will be unable to throw a [[Poké Ball]] at it - attempting to do so will trigger a message that the player cannot throw a ball at something they cannot see.
* It is the only legendary Pokémon available in all five of the Generation IV main series games without trading.
* It has the most weaknesses among the members of the Dragon Trio, having 4. It also has the least number of double resistances among them, with none.

===Origin===
Giratina is possibly based on a {{wp|basilisk}}. In the Altered Forme, the wings may be based on a bat's, and its body has an insect-like, six-legged feature, but its posture is similar to a {{wp|sauropod}}. Its Origin Forme has a body similar to a serpent, while the six protrusions on its body may be based on a {{wp|scorpion}}'s stinger.

It may also have originated from the daikaiju Destoryah. Destoroyah has spikes all over its body, large bat wings and mouth with both mandibles and jaws. This seems very similar to the Giratina's Altered Forme. Destoryah also has a flying form where it is more serpent like in appearance, this seems to be similar to the Origin Forme.

The legends associated with it are similar to those of {{wp|Izanami}}, former wife of the kami {{wp|Izanagi}}. When she died of severe burns from giving birth to a fire god, she went to the underworld, from which Izanagi tried, but failed, to retrieve her, as she had already accepted her fate.

====Name origin====
Giratina's name may be derived from {{wp|platinum}} (written as プラチナ ''platina'' in {{wp|katakana}}; compare to ギラティナ "giratina") and either {{wp|guillotine}}, [http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Girasol girasol], {{wp|giraffe}} or girare (meaning to wander). The name could also be derived from the Spanish "girar," meaning "to turn."

'''Burmy''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミノムッチ''' ''Minomutchi'') is a {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon.

Burmy's [[evolution]]s are [[gender]] dependent: female Burmy evolve into {{p|Wormadam}} and male Burmy evolve into {{p|Mothim}}, both starting at [[level]] 20.

It changes its cloak based on the location where it last battled. It will be the Plant Cloak if it last battled outside or in tall grass, the Sandy Cloak if it last battled in a cave, on a beach, or faced a Pokémon from a Honey tree, and the Trash Cloak if it last battled in a building. In the wild it is always the Plant Cloak variation. Its cloak only affects what its second type will be if it evolves into {{p|Wormadam}}; it otherwise does not affect gameplay.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
[[File:Burmy no cloak.png|thumb|left|Burmy without any Cloak on as seen in the anime]]
[[File:Burmy Manga.jpg|thumb|right|Burmy without any Cloak on as seen in the manga]]
Burmy has a black segmented body with a coil-like appendage on the top its head. It has a beak-like mouth and yellow eyes. Burmy has six stubby legs (the first two pairs are black, while the back pair is yellow). Burmy's body is normally covered by a coat of leaves, sand, or pink building insulation.
====Gender differences====
A female Burmy evolves into a {{p|Wormadam}} while a male Burmy evolves into {{p|Mothim}}. There are no visual differences between male and female Burmy.

====Special abilities====
Even if it is born where there are no cocooning materials, it somehow always ends up with a cloak. If a Burmy is female, when it evolves the materials used to compose its cloak become a permanent fixture on its body, and give it varying types and movesets depending on which material was used.

===Behavior===
It usually hangs from trees, wearing a cloak made out of leaves and small twigs to protect itself from the cold. It will not hesitate to collect nearby materials to construct a new cloak if the old one breaks or falls off.

===Habitat===
Like most Bug-types, it is found mostly in forested areas, particularly trees. However, it'll make itself at home in rocky places or even in urban environments if it gets the opportunity.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
It probably feeds on the tree sap that it camouflages in. This makes it easy to attract with [[Honey]].

==In the anime==
[[Image:Burmy-anime.jpg|thumb|Burmy in the anime]]
Burmy has had cameos in the Japanese opening [[Together]] and in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation]]'' where {{an|Dawn}} tried and failed to catch one.

Burmy also starred in ''[[DP030|Some Enchanted Sweetening]]'', the episode [[Cheryl]] made her debut. She caught a wild Burmy that was lured to the Honey she put on a tree. After battles with Team Rocket, the Burmy evolved into a {{TP|Cheryl|Mothim}}.

A group of Burmy also appeared in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''.

==Trivia==
* Burmy is one of four Pokémon whose evolution is based on gender (the other three being {{p|Combee}} into {{p|Vespiquen}}, {{p|Kirlia}} into {{p|Gallade}}, and {{p|Snorunt}} into {{p|Froslass}}). However, both of its genders have a specific evolution linked to them, unlike the other three.
* Burmy and {{p|Wormadam}} share the same [[species]] name with {{p|Pineco}} and {{p|Forretress}}. They are all known as Bagworm Pokémon.
* Along with {{p|Wurmple}} and {{p|Clamperl}}, it is one of the only Pokémon whose multiple evolutionary paths are all Pokémon of the same generation as it is.
* Burmy's coat does not change if leveled up with an {{DL|Experience-affecting item|Exp. Share}}, making this a viable option for keeping a wanted cloak to evolution.
* In ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'' Burmy was shown temporarily without its cloak.
* Burmy's evolutionary family is one of the most complex, with two factors deciding its evolutionary event: its gender and its appearance.
* If Wormadam's three forms are considered different Pokémon (internally, by the games, they are considered to be), Burmy is one of three Pokémon able to evolve into more than two species, the others being {{p|Eevee}} and {{p|Tyrogue}}.
* It is unknown how Burmy changes cloaks, since it is not shown in the anime.
===Origin===
Burmy is based on a bagworm pupa, which will metamorphose into a moth if male, or remain a pupa-like creature if female.
====Name origin====
Burmy's name may be a combinaton of "bag" and "wormy". Burmy's Japanese name may be based on 蓑虫 ''minomushi'', the Japanese name for the {{wp|bagworm}}.

==Trivia==
* Burmy is one of four Pokémon whose evolution is based on gender (the other three being {{p|Combee}} into {{p|Vespiquen}}, {{p|Kirlia}} into {{p|Gallade}}, and {{p|Snorunt}} into {{p|Froslass}}). However, both of its genders have a specific evolution linked to them, unlike the other three.
* Burmy and {{p|Wormadam}} share the same [[species]] name with {{p|Pineco}} and {{p|Forretress}}. They are all known as Bagworm Pokémon.
* Along with {{p|Wurmple}} and {{p|Clamperl}}, it is one of the only Pokémon whose multiple evolutionary paths are all Pokémon of the same generation as it is.
* Burmy's coat does not change if leveled up with an {{DL|Experience-affecting item|Exp. Share}}, making this a viable option for keeping a wanted cloak to evolution.
* In ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'' Burmy was shown temporarily without its cloak.
* Burmy's evolutionary family is one of the most complex, with two factors deciding its evolutionary event: its gender and its appearance.
* If Wormadam's three forms are considered different Pokémon (internally, by the games, they are considered to be), Burmy is one of three Pokémon able to evolve into more than two species, the others being {{p|Eevee}} and {{p|Tyrogue}}.
* IT is unknown how Burmy transforms into its different cloaks, since it is not seen in the anime.
===Origin===
Burmy is based on a bagworm pupa, which will metamorphose into a moth if male, or remain a pupa-like creature if female.
====Name origin====
Burmy's name may be a combinaton of "bag" and "wormy". Burmy's Japanese name may be based on 蓑虫 ''minomushi'', the Japanese name for the {{wp|bagworm}}.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Burmy
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Cheniti - From ''chenille'' (caterpillar) and ''petit'' (small).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 도롱충이 ''Dorongchung'i''

'''Raticate''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ラッタ''' ''Ratta'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Rattata}} starting at [[level]] 20.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Raticate are much larger than Rattata, bipedal instead of quadrupedal, and are mostly tawny in color with a lighter-colored underside. Like Rattata, Raticate’s most prominent feature is its very large incisor teeth that grow quickly. Three rows of whiskers extend from its muzzle, which it uses to maintain balance. They also possess webbed feet, which can enable them to swim. Raticate has a much more rat-like tail than Rattata, being long, scaled, and bare, and its ears are more ragged in shape.

====Gender differences====
Females have shorter whiskers and a lighter fur color of fur.

====Special abilities====
Raticate have teeth that are strong enough to {{m|Hyper Fang|gnaw through steel}}. They can swim, and they also have the ability to {{a|intimidate}} their foes (although they cannot have the actual [[ability]]).

===Behavior===
Raticate are a bit more aggresive then Rattata, due to its bigger size. If attacked, it stands up on its hind legs, bares its fangs and shrieks in an intimidating manner at its enemy. They need something to gnaw on such as rocks or logs or their teeth may grow too much. They are willing to take on larger foes if provoked enough. Raticate searches wide areas for food, and the webbing on its hind legs enable it to cross rivers. As Raticate uses its whiskers to maintain balance, it will apparently slow down if they are cut off.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|left|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Raticate naturally live in plains and savannas, however, like Rattata, it can be found almost anywhere there's food. It is a common sight in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]] and [[Sinnoh]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Raticate are omnivores in the truest sense, in that they are able to subsist on almost anything edible. Their webbed feet enable them to hunt for prey in rivers, however. They are also occasionally found with a {{OBP|Chilan Berry|Generation IV}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Raticate anime.png|thumb|Raticate in the anime]]

In ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'', Raticate is one of the Pokémon belonging to one of the {{pkmn|Trainer}}s at [[Kas Gym]].

[[Mollie]] has a Raticate she used during the [[appeals round]] of the [[Gardenia Town]] contest in ''[[AG167|What I Did for Love]]''.

In ''[[EP136|Chikorita's Big Upset]]'', a Trainer used a Raticate to {{pkmn|battle|fight}} against [[Ash's Chikorita]].

==Trivia==
* In {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, Raticate was classified as a Rat Pokémon. However, in from Generation III onward, it is classified as a mouse.
* Though its {{game|Yellow}} Pokédex entry states that it can swim in rivers to hunt for prey, it cannot learn the move {{m|Surf}}.
** All of the other evolved forms of the {{type2|Normal}} Pokemon encountered early in their respective regions,({{p|Furret}} in Johto; {{p|Linoone}} in Hoenn and {{p|Bibarel}} in Sinnoh) can learn Surf.
*** Among them, only Bibarel can recieve STAB from Surf, since it's a {{type2|Water}}.

* With the {{m|Sketch|exception}} of {{p|Smeargle}}, Raticate and its pre-evolution are the only Pokémon that can learn {{m|Flame Wheel}}, yet aren't {{type2|Fire}}.
* Raticate is the only Pokémon whose catch rate has changed. Prior to Generation III, it was 90; now it is 127.

===Origin===
Its webbed feet, body shape, and overall design are very similar to the {{wp|coypu}}, or {{wp|nutria}}, a semi-aquatic South American rodent.
====Name origin====
Raticate's name seems to be a combination of ''{{wp|rat}}'' and ''eradicate'', meaning to destroy or exterminate. The second part could also be derived by the word ''masticate'', meaning to chew, relating to its mouth and teeth. ''Ratta'' seems to be derived from ''rat'' alone, although it should be noted that Rattata's Japanese name, ''Koratta'' is that of Raticate's with ''ko'' (child) in front of it.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Rattikarl - A combination of ''Ratte'' (rat) and ''radikal'' (radical). Also incorporates the first name ''Karl'' (Carl).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Rattatac - From ''rat'' and ''attaque'' (attack).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 레트라 ''Reteura''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 拉達 ''Lá Dá'' - Transliteration of Raticate's Japanese name, Ratta.
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Hong Kong)]]: 哥達 ''Ge Dá'' - Same as pre-evolved form {{p|Rattata}} except without the 'little'.

'''Raticate''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ラッタ''' ''Ratta'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Rattata}} starting at [[level]] 20.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Raticate are much larger than Rattata, bipedal instead of quadrupedal, and are mostly tawny in color with a lighter-colored underside. Like Rattata, Raticate’s most prominent feature is its very large incisor teeth that grow quickly. Three rows of whiskers extend from its muzzle, which it uses to maintain balance. They also possess webbed feet, which can enable them to swim. Raticate has a much more rat-like tail than Rattata, being long, scaled, and bare, and its ears are more ragged in shape.

====Gender differences====
Females have shorter whiskers and a lighter fur color of fur.

====Special abilities====
Raticate have teeth that are strong enough to {{m|Hyper Fang|gnaw through steel}}. They can swim, and they also have the ability to {{a|intimidate}} their foes (although they cannot have the actual [[ability]]).

===Behavior===
Raticate are a bit more aggresive then Rattata, due to its bigger size. If attacked, it stands up on its hind legs, bares its fangs and shrieks in an intimidating manner at its enemy. They need something to gnaw on such as rocks or logs or their teeth may grow too much. They are willing to take on larger foes if provoked enough. Raticate searches wide areas for food, and the webbing on its hind legs enable it to cross rivers. As Raticate uses its whiskers to maintain balance, it will apparently slow down if they are cut off.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|left|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Raticate naturally live in plains and savannas, however, like Rattata, it can be found almost anywhere there's food. It is a common sight in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]] and [[Sinnoh]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Raticate are omnivores in the truest sense, in that they are able to subsist on almost anything edible. Their webbed feet enable them to hunt for prey in rivers, however. They are also occasionally found with a {{OBP|Chilan Berry|Generation IV}}.

==Trivia==
* In {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, Raticate was classified as a Rat Pokémon. However, in from Generation III onward, it is classified as a mouse.
* Though its {{game|Yellow}} Pokédex entry states that it can swim in rivers to hunt for prey, it cannot learn the move {{m|Surf}}.
* With the {{m|Sketch|exception}} of {{p|Smeargle}}, Raticate and its pre-evolution are the only Pokémon that can learn {{m|Flame Wheel}}, yet aren't {{type2|Fire}}.
* Raticate is the only Pokémon whose catch rate has changed. Prior to Generation III, it was 90; now it is 127.
* Raticate can't learn {{m|Surf}}, while all of the other evolved forms of the {{type2|Normal}} Pokemon encountered early in their respective regions,({{p|Furret}} in Johto; {{p|Linoone}} in Hoenn and {{p|Bibarel}} in Sinnoh) can learn Surf.
** Among them, only Bibarel can recieve STAB from Surf, since it's a {{type2|Water}}.

===Origin===
Its webbed feet, body shape, and overall design are very similar to the {{wp|coypu}}, or {{wp|nutria}}, a semi-aquatic South American rodent.
====Name origin====
Raticate's name seems to be a combination of ''{{wp|rat}}'' and ''eradicate'', meaning to destroy or exterminate. The second part could also be derived by the word ''masticate'', meaning to chew, relating to its mouth and teeth. ''Ratta'' seems to be derived from ''rat'' alone, although it should be noted that Rattata's Japanese name, ''Koratta'' is that of Raticate's with ''ko'' (child) in front of it.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Rattikarl - A combination of ''Ratte'' (rat) and ''radikal'' (radical). Also incorporates the first name ''Karl'' (Carl).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Rattatac - From ''rat'' and ''attaque'' (attack).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 레트라 ''Reteura''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 拉達 ''Lá Dá'' - Transliteration of Raticate's Japanese name, Ratta.
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Hong Kong)]]: 哥達 ''Ge Dá'' - Same as pre-evolved form {{p|Rattata}} except without the 'little'.

'''Rock Smash''' (Japanese: '''いわくだき''' ''Rock Smash'') is a damage-dealing {{type2|Fighting}} move introduced in [[Generation II]]. It was TM08 when it was introduced, and became HM06 in [[Generation III]], as its use became essential for completing the game.

==Effect==
===Generation II and III===
====In battle====
The move damages the target and has a 50% chance of lowering the target's {{stat|Defense}}.

Rock Smash has a base power of 20.

====[[Image:Rock Smash.png]] Outside of battle====
[[Image:Rock_Smash_HM_Lucas.jpg|none|thumb|240px|'''Rock Smash''' in the game]]

Smashes rocks to clear the path, potentially finds Pokémon inside (usually {{p|Geodude}}).

===Generation IV===
====In battle====
Same as before, but with a base power of 40 [[List of moves that changed in attack power|instead]].

====Outside of battle====
Same as before, but Pokémon no longer appear (in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} only).

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, {{DL|Exchangeable item|Heart Scales}}, [[shard]]s, [[fossil]]s, and some Pokémon can be found underneath rocks.

===Mystery Dungeon===
Turns a wall tile in front of the user into a floor tile, revealing any item hidden within it. Has 99 PP but cannot target enemies.

==[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]==
[[Image:Charizard Rock Smash.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Rock Smash in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Rock Smash is Charizard's Side Special move. Unlike the Pokémon games, Rock Smash is a move with high damage and knockback and can potentially KO a foe in one hit.

==Trivia==
* Rock Smash is the only HM move that does not share its type with another HM move, past or present.
* Rock Smash is one of the few moves that no Pokémon can learn by level-up - it can only be taught by TM/HM.
* At least two members of the evolutionary family of each starter Pokemon of each region can learn Rock Smash through HM as of Generation IV.

==Synopsis==
The episode opens showing the Contest hall and [[Pokémon Center]] in [[Jubilife City]]. Inside the Pokémon Center Dawn shows off her new dress to {{Ash}}, {{an|Brock}} and {{AP|Pikachu}}, while her mother is on the video phone. {{an|Dawn}} thanks [[Johanna]], who reveals that she is missing the matching choker. A {{TP|Zoey|Glameow}} comes up to the group and Ash scans it with his [[Pokédex]], before Johanna notices that it has Dawn's choker on its tail. The [[Zoey|Glameow's Trainer]] walks up and tell Dawn that she found the choker in the dressing room and that Dawn was the only one wearing anything that would go with it. Dawn thanks Zoey, before turning to tell Johanna not to worry, which, of course, makes her worry more. Dawn then notices that Zoey is gone.

On a practice battle field outside, Dawn and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} square off against Ash and Pikachu. Ash starts the battle with Pikachu using {{m|Quick Attack}}, which Dawn counters with {{m|BubbleBeam}}. Pikachu stops and dodges, before deflecting it with {{m|Iron Tail}}. Dawn then tells Piplup to use {{m|Peck}} and Piplup's beak glows, before extending, which surprises Ash. Dawn tells him that they have been practicing storing energy for Peck. Piplup then charges for Pikachu. Ash calls for an Iron Tail, but before the attacks can connect, {{AP|Aipom}} jumps in front of Pikachu and uses {{m|Focus Punch}}, knocking Piplup back. Everyone is surprised, and when Ash asks Aipom why it jumped in, Aipom uses {{m|Double Team}}, before jumping between them and using {{m|Swift}} to create a large glowing star and then lands on its tail. Brock suggests that Aipom might want to compete in the contest, which Aipom confirms. Dawn suggests that Ash enters the contest, but he is reluctant until Aipom and Pikachu convince him to. Brock then remind them that they need to enter the contest before they start training, and Dawn realizes that she had forgotten to enter as well.

Both run up to the entry desk and are told to put their Pokédexes into the slots in from them. Their details come up on the screen, and their contest passes come out of a slot near their Pokédex slot. They are also given a ribbon case, rule book, [[Ball Capsule]] and [[Seal]]s. When Ash and Brock wonder aloud what the seals are for, Dawn is surprised that they don't know, and then shows them how they work with a heart seal on Piplup's [[Poké Ball|Ball]].

Outside the contest hall [[Jessie]] is standing in her "Jessilina" disguise: an orange dress, pigtails, and yellow and red glasses. She is talking about how she will win the contest. However, only {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} is listening. [[James]] is complaining that they are broke, while {{MTR}} and {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} stick seals onto {{TP|James|Carnivine}}'s face. Jessie angrily snatches away the seals, explaining that they go on the ball capsules, not the [[Pokémon]]. James then realizes that they could make money from selling fake seals.

At the Pokémon Center that night Dawn is unable to sleep. She walks out onto the balcony of their room and calls out Piplup and {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}, who both yawn. Dawn comments how nice the city looks at night, so Piplup and Buneary run over to the edge of the balcony to see for themselves. Dawn then talks to them about the contest the next day. Dawn then shows them the ribbon that Johanna gave her, telling them that it was the first ribbon that Johanna won. She then tells them that she wants to show everyone how special they are.

The next day James and Meowth are selling fake seals outside the contest hall, and then watch on TV as the contest starts, with [[Marian]] talking about the contest. Brock tells Ash that he can't find Dawn anywhere, so Ash runs off to find her. In the changing room, Dawn is struggling with her hair, when Zoey walks up and helps her. Dawn introduces herself, and asks Zoey about her contests. Zoey says that she has entered three and won one. She then gives Dawn her ribbon case and Dawn admires her ribbon. Dawn tells Zoey how she is going to win, so Zoey replies that they will meet in the finals. Dawn is initially surprised that Zoey believes her, but keeps it to herself.

While Marian shows the ribbon for winning the contest to the crowd, Ash and Dawn meet up in the corridors outside the changing room, and both run off to the contestants' waiting room. Marian introduces the three usual Judges and Dawn is worried as she can't see Zoey anywhere. However, Marian then introduces Zoey as the first contestant. Zoey calls out her {{p|Misdreavus}}, which appears in the middle of a cloud from a smoke seal. Its silhouette can be seen as Zoey tells it to use Double Team, before dispersing the doubles and the smoke with {{m|Confuse Ray}}. Dawn checks Misdreavus on her Pokédex, before Zoey finishes the appeal with Misdreavus using {{m|Shock Wave}} to create large waves of electricity spreading outwards towards the edge of the hall. Some still pictures of the next few contestants' Pokémon are shown.

Outside the contest hall James and Meowth are approached by a crowd of angry people with their fake seals, and so they run off into the distance. Inside the contest hall, it is Jessie's turn. She calls out Carnivine, which appears from behind her with a heart seal. Jessie throws her 'lollipop', which splits into many smaller ones, before Carnivine breaks them all with {{m|Bullet Seed}}. Jessie the tells it to use {{m|Bite}}, and it does. . . on her head. Jessie panics at first before playing along with it. Ash and Dawn remark that she is dedicated.

Ash is next. He calls out Aipom, which then uses Swift to break the stars from the star seal on its Poké Ball. Then it uses Double Team, before using a spinning Focus Punch to hit all the doubles. It finishes by landing on it's tail.

Dawn is called to do her appeal. Zoey wishes her good luck and Ash and Dawn exchange a high five as they walk past each other in the corridor to behind the stage. When the curtain rises, Dawn is initially nervous but gets her act together and calls out Piplup. Piplup uses BubbleBeam to keep the bubbles from the seal suspended in the air, before storing up energy for a Peck, and then using Peck to pop all the bubbles. Johanna, who is watching on TV, comments that it wasn't bad.

Ash and Brock then congratulate Dawn, who says she is relieved it is over. Zoey reminds Dawn that it is too early to be relieved, as they are going to meet in the finals. Ash, Dawn, Zoey and Jessie all look on expectantly as the results are about to be announced. . .

'''Crobat''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''クロバット''' ''Crobat'') is a dual-type {{2t|Poison|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Golbat}} via [[happiness]]. It is the final form of {{p|Zubat}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Crobat has a purple body as opposed to being blue, like its pre-evolutions. Crobat has a stubby pair of feet, and has developed a second pair of wings with greenish-blue undersides and two stubby ‘fingers’. Crobat’s pointed ears are longer than {{P|Golbat}}’s, and, unlike its pre-evolutions, appear to lack ear insides. Crobat’s mouth is smaller in comparison to Golbat’s, and appears to constantly have its teeth bared. Crobat's eyes are yellow with red pupils.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Crobat's extra pair of wings allow it to fly much faster than its predecessors. Crobat's wings have also developed a more powerful cutting edge for using {{m|Cross Poison}} and {{m|X-Scissor}}.

Like most fully evolved Pokémon, Crobat can learn {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}.

===Behavior===

Like its pre-evolutions, Crobat becomes active at night. If Crobat is flying by fluttering only a pair of wings on either the forelegs or hind legs, it's proof that Crobat has been flying a long distance. It switches the wings it uses if it is tired. By alternately resting its front and rear wings, it can fly all day without having to stop. Crobat rests by hanging on a tree branch with its rear legs that serve as wings.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Cave.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Cave Pokémon|Cave Pokémon]]]]
Crobat is a cave-dwelling Pokémon, however it is likely that they flutter outside [[Nocturnal Pokémon|during the night]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Crobat sneaks up on its intended prey.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Brock_crobat.jpg|thumb|right|{{TP|Brock|Crobat}} in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Brock's Crobat]]====
{{an|Brock}} had a Crobat that he originally caught as a {{p|Zubat}}. He eventually gave it to his brother [[Forrest]].

====Other====

===Minor appearances===
Several Crobat appeared in ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part One]]'', employed by the [[J's henchmen|followers]] of [[J|Hunter J]].

Crobat made a small appearance in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' as one of the Pokémon {{mov|Darkrai|Darkrai|10}} hit with a {{m|Dark Void}} attack as the other trainers were attacking him.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Johto}}
{{Animedexbody|EP196|Crobat|Ash's Pokédex|Crobat, the evolved form of {{p|Golbat}}. With its two additional wings, Crobat is able to fly much faster than Golbat.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|original|Johto}}

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
In {{PAV|11}}, [[Janine]] uses a Crobat to fight {{p|Suicune}}, but even her best ninja-based skills fail to defeat the legendary Water-type.

Giovanni is later seen with a Crobat in {{PAV|24}}, presumably picked up during his solo training journey.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Crobat (TCG)}}

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Crobat only appears as a random trophy.
====Trophy information====
A Bat Pokémon that evolves from {{P|Golbat}}, Crobat's hind legs have evolved into a second pair of wings, which allows it to fly at great speeds but limits its ability to rest. The affection a Golbat has for its {{pkmn|Trainer}} is vital for the evolution process: if a novice Trainer has a Crobat, it shows that he or she cares for Pokémon well.

==Trivia==
* Despite the fact that the Pokédex information says that Crobat's rear legs and rear wings are the same body part, Crobat clearly has a set of feet and legs distinct from its hind wings depicted in the rear sprites in [[Generation III]], as well as in the anime, TCG, and 3D games. However, the [[footprint]] in the Pokédex for Crobat is blank.
* Crobat is in all regional [[Pokédex]]es except the [[National Pokédex|Kanto Pokédex]], due to the fact that it wasn't introduced until [[Generation II]].
* To date, every [[Villainous teams|villainous team]] in the main series of games have had at least one of their members use Crobat and/or one its [[Evolution|evolutionary]] family. The head of all villainous teams aside from [[Team Rocket]] uses one in their final battle with the player.
**This is especially interesting due to the fact that the villainous teams typically are depicted not to care about Pokémon, yet Crobat evolves with happiness.
* Since its debut in [[Generation II]], Crobat's color scheme has been {{p|Golbat}}'s color scheme, inverted. This also applies to its shiny variation.
* Crobat is the first Pokémon in National Pokédex order to be related to a Pokémon of a previous [[generation]].
* In recent 3-D games, it is revealed that Crobat has teeth only in its lower jaw.
** This is also shown in {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, when it uses its attack.
**Though, in the Generation II sprites, Crobat has its teeth on the upper jaw.
*Crobat has the highest base stat total of all {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon, excluding {{p|Arceus}} while holding the Toxic Plate.
* Crobat is the fastest {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon, with a base Speed of 130.
** Crobat is tied with {{p|Aerodactyl}} for being the second fastest {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon, behind {{p|Ninjask}}.
* Crobat is the only Pokémon of its body type ([[List of Pokémon by body style#Pokémon that have two pairs of wings|type 13]]) that is not {{type2|Bug}} or in the {{egg3|Bug}}.
* Prior to Generation IV, Crobat was the only member of the Zubat evolutionary line that could learn {{m|Fly}}. This is likely reflective of its increased flight capabilities due to its extra wings.
* Crobat's HeartGold and SoulSilver sprites shows the back of its bottom left wing facing forward.
* Strangely, despite being obtained through happiness, Crobat always has a scowl on its face.

===Origin===
Crobat is based on a {{wp|bat}}.

====Name origin====
Crobat's name is a combination of ''cross'' and ''{{wp|bat}}''. It may also be a combination of 黒 ''kuro'', black, and English ''{{wp|bat}}''. It may also be a pun on acrobat.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Iksbat - The letter X is pronounced ''Iks'' in German, might refer to the arrangement of its wings.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Nostenfer - From ''nocturne'' (nocturnal) or ''{{wp|Nosferatu (word)|Nosferatu}}'', and ''Enfer'' (Hell).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 크로뱃 ''Keurobaet''

The '''Battleground''' (Japanese: '''しょうぶどころ''' ''Match Place'') is a building owned by [[Buck]] that is located in the [[Survival Area]] of the [[Battle Zone]], and only available in {{game|Platinum}}. After the [[Stark Mountain]] subquest with [[Team Galactic]], {{player}}s can {{pkmn|battle}} [[Gym Leader]]s and [[Stat Trainers|tag battle partners]] from earlier in the game. Up to four of these {{pkmn|Trainer}}s appear each day and they can be battled only once a day. Resetting before entering the Battleground would change the trainers who are inside. According to Buck's grandfather, only Gym Leaders and those vouched for by them are allowed here.

==={{ga|Pearl}}===

[[Image:Outside_the_Top_Trainer_Cafe.PNG‎|Rival outside the Battleground|thumb|right]]
Even though Pearl is not one of the Trainers that appear in the Battleground, he does appear just outside it and will battle the player every weekend (both Saturday and Sunday). His Pokémon get stronger as the game progresses, with his starter Pokémon eventually reaching level 85, the strongest trainer of any Pokémon game. He wants to get inside, but he is not allowed. At [[Stark Mountain]], he asks [[Crasher Wake]] to help him enter, but Wake refuses.

==Trivia==
* During the time [[Gym Leader]]s appear here, they can still be found in their respective gyms and possibly also the [[Villa]]. This is probably due to the Battleground not being part of the main storyline; the game randomly determines which four characters can be challenged on any particular day.
* [[Candice]] is the only Trainer to use [[Generation IV]] Pokémon only.
* [[Maylene]], [[Crasher Wake]] and [[Marley]] are the only Trainers to use Pokemon from all four generations.
* All of the Trainers in the Battleground have Pokémon between levels 61 and 65, except for [[Maylene]], whose Pokémon are between levels 62 and 66.
** Maylene is also the only Trainer in the Battleground, whose [[party]] does not consist of two level 61 Pokémon, one level 62 Pokémon, one level 63 Pokémon, and one level 65 Pokémon, instead consisting of two level 62 Pokémon, one level 63 Pokémon, one level 64 Pokémon, and one level 66 Pokémon.
** Maylene also offers more prize money than any other trainer in the Battleground. When the {{player}} defeats the other trainers, he/she receives {{PDollar}}7,800, however beating Maylene earns the player {{PDollar}}7,920.
*When both Roark and Byron appear at the same time, their after-battle dialogue changes from what it normally would be; Roark tells the player that when he became a gym leader, he realized how great a trainer his dad is, but that he would never admit it in front of his father. Byron talks to himself about how Roark thinks he can "show up his old man", and that he, Byron, will need to get better to prevent that from happening.
* A small graphical glitch occurs with the counter and TV on the right side of the room. When the {{player}} (or even an NPC) is next to either object, it can cause the colors to "jump" out of line.

{{spoilers}}

== Synopsis ==
The key is in the ignition as we head into the second round of the Grand Festival. There is fierce competition ahead of our heroine {{an|May}}, will she be able to overcome and conquer or have her dreams crushed? The flames of courage envelop our young heroine taking us into the furious festival.

The first round has begun as {{P|Absol}} enlightens the stadium with a bright light shimmering from different angles. [[Solidad]] and May watch [[Drew]] in his first part of the second round. A whirlpool begins forming around Absol, creating a gigantic circle of water circling around Absol. After a few moments, Absol uses its energy from its horn to slice and dissipate the water creating a magnificent shimmering over the entire stadium. Drew bows taking a stance as the crowd applauds his performance.

[[Jessie]] makes a broadcast, with [[James]], {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} and {{MTR}} as her crew, as [[Brianna]] watches from her residence with several snapshots of Drew and May placed around the house. Drew manages to walk across Jessie's path as she turns around and attempts to interview him. Drew makes a short comment and heads off into an adjacent room. Wobbuffet manages to turn his board which reflects the light from James's camera and begins scorching Jessie's face.

[[Vivian]] introduces the elegant [[Harley]] and his {{p|Octillery}}. His round beings as Octillery launches a {{m|Fire Blast}} attack towards the ground and propels into the air slamming down into the flames. Octillery begins moving its tentacles causing the flames to move in a counterclockwise motion around his body in the shape of a ring.

Meanwhile, {{AP|Aipom}} is still evading {{Ash}} grasping his hat in its tail and moving it slightly upwards as Ash jumps up and manages to miss. Every time Ash attempts to grasp his hat, Aipom moves it out of his reach. Ash explains to Aipom that he wants to see May but Aipom only lowers its eyelid and sticks its tongue out at Ash. Ash decides that he will attempt to capture Aipom instead. {{AP|Pikachu}} blasts forward with {{m|Agility}} knocking Aipom from the tree branch while Ash launches a [[Poké Ball]] towards Aipom. As the Poké Ball closes in on Aipom, he manages to evade the object and propel it backwards forcing the Poké Ball to collide with Ash hitting him on the head.

Solidad's round is finally underway as {{p|Slowbro}} uses its {{m|Psychic}} to rotate around the arena on the tip of its shell. Slowbro manages to come to a single point while still rotating and launches a stream of water overhead creating an effect of a fountain. May watches Solidad's magnificent round on the screen in anticipation of her upcoming round. May is announced to the arena for her second round as Ash manages to arrive just in time with Pikachu.

The crowd cheers as May makes her way into the middle of the arena. With a rotation of her wrist, a solitary Poké Ball is released into the stadium exploding with a bright light releasing {{TP|May|Munchlax}}. Munchlax begins collecting energy from the sunlight launching a powerful {{m|SolarBeam}}. As the beam of energy ascends into the air, Munchlax propels into the air clashing with the energy with a {{m|Focus Punch}}. As the two forces clash, the sunlight slowly dissipates into the atmosphere creating a glimmering effect.

After her magnificent round, May questions her ability while Ash attempts to cheer her up. Solidad walks upon the ground to give May congratulations. Meanwhile, Drew and Absol have their differences with Absol launching a blinding attack towards Drew just managing to slightly brush against his hair. Ash, May and Solidad catch up to Drew as he recalls Absol back into its confinement of the Poké Ball and walks off into the forest. Harley notices the tense relationship between May and Drew and laughs softly.

Fireworks explode into the air as we are brought into the third round of the Grand Festival. The next round of competitors is released with May, Harley, Solidad and Drew. Brock displays his happiness for Solidad advancing into the third round. The list of competitors is randomly shuffled pairing Harley vs. May; Drew vs. a young female trainer and Solidad vs. a male trainer. Ash, Brock, and Max are surprised with the sight of May's first opponent being Harley.

The countdown timer begins as May calls upon {{TP|May|Eevee}} and Munchlax and Harley calls upon his {{p|Wigglytuff}} and {{p|Cacturne}}. Munchlax and Eevee begin the round blazing forward with a {{m|Mega Punch}} as Wigglytuff inflates to two times its size, dissipating the attack and knocking both Pokémon backwards. Wigglytuff blazes toward both the Pokémon as May anticipates the attack but Wigglytuff propels into the air and Cacturne strikes Munchlax and Eevee. Both Pokémon are knocked backwards and a fifth of May's score is reduced. Cacturne extends its needles and goes in for a final attack as Eevee manages to recover and launches a {{m|Shadow Ball}} while Munchlax uses its Focus Punch to increase the speed of the attack colliding with Cacturne for a direct hit. The smoke clears as Cacturne falls to the ground and is announced as unable to battle. Three fifths of Harley's score is removed.

Wigglytuff begins its descent from the air and crashes into the ground with Eevee and Munchlax managing to evade the attack barely. Wigglytuff extends its ears grasping onto both Pokémon's bodies and thrusts them towards the air and begins repeatedly slapping both Pokémon with its ears and finally slamming them to the ground. Munchlax charges another SolarBeam and Eevee launches an additional Shadow Ball. Wigglytuff evades both attacks while additional Shadow Balls and SolarBeams continue their barrage. Two-thirds of May's score is removed reducing her down to a fifth of her original.

Eevee and Munchlax launch another attack but miss their target on purpose with both attacks colliding behind Wigglytuff and forcing it uncontrollably towards the ground. Munchlax runs forward and propels off of Eevee's tail igniting into the air and striking Wigglytuff down with a Focus Punch. Wigglytuff crashes into the ground and is announced as unable to battle. Harley's score is reduced to zero and May advances to the next round.

The round between a young girl and Drew is underway as the young girl's {{p|Medicham}} and {{p|Loudred}} are defeated by Roselia's {{m|Petal Dance}} knocking her score to zero advancing Drew to the next round. Solidad manages to defeat her opponent's frozen {{p|Girafarig}} and {{p|Zigzagoon}} with a devastating {{m|Hyper Beam}} from Slowbro. The ice breaks shattering the young man's dream and advancing Solidad to the next round. The next round finally is upon us with May and Drew calling upon their Combusken, Squirtle, {{TP|Drew|Flygon}}, and Absol.

May quickly starts the battle with Squirtle using {{m|Rapid Spin}}. Flygon launches a {{m|Sandstorm|whirlwind of sand}} towards Squirtle's direction as Combusken jumps onto Squirtle's shell and jumps while charging up for a {{m|Mega Kick}}. Combusken begins gaining altitude while Absol jumps into the sandstorm and launches a magnificent light blinding Combusken and finally reveals itself from the veil striking down with a devastating {{m|Iron Tail}}.

A fierce battle between our heroine May and Drew await us just beyond the frontier. Will May's dreams finally be crushed underneath the ever devious Drew?

'''Cascoon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マユルド''' ''Mayuld'') is a {{type2|Bug}} [[Pokémon]].

It [[evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Wurmple}} starting at [[level]] 7, and it evolves into {{p|Dustox}} starting at level 10.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Cascoon is very similar to {{p|Silcoon}} in design, being a spiked, cocoon-like Pokémon with two red eyes. However, it has a slightly darker, more purple coloration.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====

===Behavior===
It remains motionless while hanging from a tree inside its cocoon. It does not stir even if it is attacked, in which case Cascoon {{m|harden}}s. If it were to flinch in the slightest way, it would have insufficient strength upon [[evolution]]. However, once it evolves, it is hostile towards those who attacked it.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Forest.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Forest Pokémon|Forest Pokémon]]]]

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:JessieCascoon.png|thumb|left|Cascoon in the anime]]
[[Jessie]]'s Wurmple evolved into {{TP|Jessie|Cascoon}} in ''[[AG024|A Corphish out of Water]]''. Jessie thought it was a {{p|Silcoon}}, however. Because of this, [[James]] and {{MTR}} were worried that Jessie would be furious when Cascoon evolved into {{p|Dustox}}.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Dex

==Trivia==
*Cascoon shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Metapod}}, {{p|Kakuna}}, and {{p|Silcoon}}. They are all known as Cocoon Pokémon.
*Cascoon and Silcoon have the exact same base stats.
* Cascoon, {{p|Vigoroth}}, and {{p|Seadra}} are the only Pokémon that lose their pre-evolution's ability, then regain it upon evolution to their final form. (Wurmple and Dustox have the same ability, {{a|Shield Dust}}.)
*In {{game|Platinum}}, Cascoon can learn {{m|Bug Bite}} by evolution from {{p|Wurmple}}, despite not having a visible mouth.
*In the anime, Cascoon along with Silcoon was depicted without the spike-like protrusions on their bodies.
**[[James]]'s cards containing info about Pokemon showed that Silcoon and Cascoon have spikes.

===Origin===
Cascoon is based on the {{wp|chrysalis}} or cocoon stage of a {{wp|butterfly}} or {{wp|moth}}.
====Name origin====
Cascoon's name is probably a combination of ''cast'', a substance excreted by earthworms, and ''{{wp|cocoon}}''. Its Japanese name is based on 繭 ''mayu'', cocoon, and ''shield''.

'''Gengar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゲンガー''' ''Gangar'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Haunter}} when [[trade]]d. It is the final form of {{p|Gastly}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Gengar is a dark-purple Pokémon with a roundish body. Gengar's hands now connect to the rest of its body and it now has a pair of legs. Gengar has a spike-covered back. Upon evolution, Gengar's eyes are now red. Also, its mouth is usually curled into a sinister grin.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
[[File:Morty's Gengar.jpg|thumb|right|200px|[[Morty]]'s Gengar floating through the air]]
Gengar has the ability to hide perfectly in the shadow of any object, granting it exceptional stealth. However, Gengar's body acts as a {{wp|heat sink}}; it's presence cools the temperature of the surrounding area by nearly 10°F. In addition, Gengar possesses the ability to fly through the air, as demonstrated by Morty's Gengar. Since Gengar is a fully evolved Pokémon, it can use {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}.

===Behavior===
Gengars are very mischievous, and at some times, malicious. They enjoy playing practical jokes, such as pretending to be one's shadow, then behaving erratically. When the quarry notices, the Gengar takes delight in it's victim's terror.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Cave.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon}}]]

Gengar live in shadows of rooms, caves, and dark places where shadows form, especially in urban areas such as cities and back alleys but only during the night.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Gengar drains the life force from its victims. It may also also {{m|Dream Eater|eat its victim's dreams}}.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Fantina's Gengar.jpg|210px|right|Gengar in the anime|thumb]]
Gengar first appeared in the opening of ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', where it and a {{p|Nidorino}} battled in a Colosseum.

{{Ash}} first saw a Gengar in person in [[Lavender Town]] in ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]'' while searching for a {{t|Ghost}}-type Pokémon to fight [[Sabrina]] with. Due to a close call, Ash got to spend some unexpected time with the ghostly trio, {{p|Gastly}}, {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}}, and Gengar. It, along with Haunter, seemed to have a fondness for {{wp|Tsukkomi|Japanese stand-up}}, and attempt to (unsuccessfully) amuse Ash by acting as a pair of performers.

In ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]'', a giant Gengar was awakened near the Ancient City of Pokémopolis where it battled an equally large {{p|Alakazam}}.

[[Drake (Orange League)|Drake]] of the [[Orange Islands]] used a Gengar in his battle with Ash in ''[[EP111|Hello, Pummelo!]]'' and ''[[EP112|Enter The Dragonite]]''. His Gengar managed to confuse [[Ash's Tauros]] before he returned it and instead tried with [[Ash's Lapras]]. In the collision between {{m|Night Shade}} and {{m|Ice Beam}}, both Lapras and Gengar fainted.

A Gengar appeared under the ownership of [[Ecruteak City]] [[Gym Leader]] [[Morty]] in ''[[EP181|A Ghost Of A Chance]]'', ''[[EP182|From Ghost to Ghost]]'', and ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll!]]''.

[[Agatha]] used a Gengar to battle [[Ash's Pikachu]] in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]''. The Ghost Pokémon defeated Pikachu.

Gengar was the leader of "[[Team Meanies]]" in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]''

A Gengar appeared in ''[[DP090|Ghoul Daze!]]'' together with its pre-evolutions, {{p|Gastly}} and {{p|Haunter}}.

A Gengar also appeared in ''[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team!]]''.

A Gengar under the ownership of [[Hearthome City]]'s Gym Leader [[Fantina]] appeared in a flashback in ''[[DP093|Playing the Leveling Field!]]'' and appeared in ''[[DP102|A Shield with a Twist]]'' where it was defeated by [[Ash's Buizel]].

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Special]], [[Agatha]] has two Gengar on her team. One of them was used to attack {{Special|Green}} and [[Koga]] from the shadows, draining the latter's life force as it possessed his shadow.

Another Gengar was seen at the beginning of the FireRed and LeafGreen saga in {{PSV|23}}. It was used by a kid from [[Pallet Town]] in an attempt to capture a {{p|Nidorino}}, thus replicating the opening sequence of the [[Generation I]] video games.

===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 1|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: Gengar is the leader of [[Team Meanies]]. While often accompanied by {{p|Ekans}} and {{p|Medicham}}, Gengar will often act alone and spends much of the game causing trouble, even convincing the village to exile the hero, blaming him or her for the natural disasters. However, it is later revealed that he is the cursed human.

==Trivia==
* "Phantom" was the original English name for Gengar.
* Gengar, along with {{p|Nidorino}}, who it battles in the beginning of {{v2|Red}}, {{v2|Blue}}, {{v2|Green}}, {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, and probably a couple other Pokémon, originate from the old manga, [[Capsule Monsters]], which is considered pre-cursor to the Pokémon franchise.
* Gengar can be caught in the wild in Generation IV through the [[dongle method]], as can another Pokémon previously obtainable only via trading, {{p|Steelix}}, though Steelix can be battled normally.
* Even though Gengar is part {{type2|Poison}}, like its pre-[[evolution]]s, it cannot learn any Poison-type moves via level up.
* Gengar is tied with {{p|Froslass}} for the fastest {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon, with a base {{stat|Speed}} of 110, and has the highest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of any Ghost-type or {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon at 130.
**Oddly, Special Attack was it highest stat, even though the Ghost-type was previously an all physical type.
* To date, Gengar and {{p|Dusknoir}} are the only Ghost-type Pokémon which have undergone two evolutionary events, and both require trading to trigger their final evolution.
* Despite its ability to hide in shadows, it's unable to learn {{m|Shadow Sneak}}.
* Its shiny color is actually closer in to the Sugimori artwork than the non-shiny color.

===Origin===
It seems to be simply based on general cartoonish {{wp|ghost}}s, and possibly on a distorted shadow of a human being like {{wp|shadow people}}. The overall appearance could also be an homage to the {{wp|Alice in Wonderland|Cheshire Cat}}. Gengar also has some similarities to {{wp|Gremlins}} with both looks and personality (violent, rude, and wild).

====Name origin====
Gengar's name is possibly a shortening of ''{{wp|doppelgänger}}'' - a ghostly double of a person, which would be a fitting name for a Pokémon with a habit of pretending to be a person's shadow. The kanji 幻, which can be read "gen", can be used for words meaning "phantom" or "illusion".

There is also a striking pronouncation similarity between Gengar's name and the danish word "genganger", which simply is a spirit that after its death chose not to go to the other world but to return to the world of humans in the shape of a ghost. "Gen" is translated as "again" or simply "re" and "ganger" is an old-fashioned word meaning "walker" or "someone that walks".

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Gengar
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Ectoplasma - From ''[[wp:Ectoplasm|ectoplasm]]'', the substance that supposedly emanates from the body of a spiritualistic medium when contacting the dead.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 팬텀 ''Paenteom'' - A transliteration of the English word ''phantom''.

'''Politoed''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ニョロトノ''' ''Nyorotono'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Poliwhirl}} when [[Trade#Pokémon which evolve when traded|traded]] holding a [[Evolution-inducing held item#King's Rock|King's Rock]]. It is one of the final forms of {{p|Poliwag}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Politoed is very different physically from the rest of its evolutionary family as it now resembles a frog much more than previous forms. It is now green with yellow hands, belly, throat, and toes. Its legs have become well developed for jumping and it now sports pink cheek spots similar to those of {{p|Pikachu}}. Its head is now separate from the rest of its body and its mouth is visible again. It also has a long curled hair on top of its head, which is used as a status symbol among its kind. For all these differences, there's one feature that Politoed still possesses: the swirl that the rest of its family has, though now in green and yellow.

====Gender differences====
The pink spots on a female's cheeks are smaller.

====Special abilities====
Politoed has the standard {{type2|Water}} abilities, but it has also gained impressive vocal abilities which it can use in battle in the form of {{m|Perish Song}} and {{m|Hyper Voice}}. It has also gained hopping abilities.

===Behavior===
Politoed lure other members of its evolution family near to it by croaking.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Water's-edge Pokémon|Water's-edge Pokémon]]]]
Politoed live in small freshwater ponds and lakes, usually ones that have an abundance of lily pads.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Politoed.png|thumb|right|Politoed in the anime]]
[[Misty]]'s {{p|Poliwhirl}} evolved into a Politoed in ''[[EP247|Outrageous Fortunes]]''. [[Misty's Politoed]] is very cheerful up to the point where it would occasionally lose focus in a battle and start clapping.

[[Tammy]], a young girl who used Pokémon for cheerleading mistook Misty's Politoed for her own in ''[[EP249|I Politoed Ya So]]''. She asked Misty to lend it to her for a while since she and her Politoed were angry at each other; later, they make amends and Tammy gives Misty's Politoed back to her.

{{an|May}} battled against a Politoed in the [[Wisteria Town]] Contest in ''[[AG160|Harley Rides Again]]''.

Another Politoed appeared in [[DP139]], where [[Brock's Croagunk]] battled it.

===Pokédex entries===

{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|original|Johto}}

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Special===
In the [[Pokémon Special volume 9|9th volume of Pokémon Special]], {{special|Silver}} "borrowed" {{special|Gold}}'s Poliwhirl in exchange for his own {{p|Seadra}}. Due to the effects of the [[King's Rock]] Poliwhirl was holding, plus the effects of both Gold and Silver's communication devices, Poliwhirl evolved into Politoed, and Seadra evolved into a {{p|Kingdra}}.

==Trivia==
* Politoed's {{stat|Speed}} stat is lower than {{p|Poliwhirl|its pre-evolution}}. This also happens with its counterpart {{p|Poliwrath}}.
* Politoed is the only non-{{type2|Normal}} Pokémon that can learn {{m|Hyper Voice}}.
*Politoed does not learn any moves of the {{type2|Water}} by level up.
**The only Water-type moves it can learn naturally are {{m|Water Gun}} and {{m|Bubblebeam}}, which are its start moves in [[Generation II]], [[Generation III]] and [[Generation IV]],respectively with Water Gun as its start move in Generations II and III.

===Origin===
It is likely based on a {{wp|tree frog}}.
====Name origin====
Politoed is a combination of the word ''{{wp|polliwog}}'' and a misspelling of the word ''{{wp|toad}}''. Its Japanese name may be a combination of ニョロニョロ ''nyoronyoro'', the sound of slithering, and トノサマガエル ''tonosamagaeru'', {{wp|dark-spotted frog}}.

==In other languages==

'''Politoed''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ニョロトノ''' ''Nyorotono'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Poliwhirl}} when [[Trade#Pokémon which evolve when traded|traded]] holding a [[Evolution-inducing held item#King's Rock|King's Rock]]. It is one of the final forms of {{p|Poliwag}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Politoed is very different physically from the rest of its evolutionary family as it now resembles a frog much more than previous forms. It is now green with yellow hands, belly, throat, and toes. Its legs have become well developed for jumping and it now sports pink cheek spots similar to those of {{p|Pikachu}}. Its head is now separate from the rest of its body and its mouth is visible again. It also has a long curled hair on top of its head, which is used as a status symbol among its kind. For all these differences, there's one feature that Politoed still possesses: the swirl that the rest of its family has, though now in green and yellow.

====Gender differences====
The pink spots on a female's cheeks are smaller.

====Special abilities====
Politoed has the standard {{type2|Water}} abilities, but it has also gained impressive vocal abilities which it can use in battle in the form of {{m|Perish Song}} and {{m|Hyper Voice}}. It has also gained hopping abilities.

===Behavior===
Politoed lure other members of its evolution family near to it by croaking.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Water's-edge Pokémon|Water's-edge Pokémon]]]]
Politoed live in small freshwater ponds and lakes, usually ones that have an abundance of lily pads.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Politoed.png|thumb|right|Politoed in the anime]]
[[Misty]]'s {{p|Poliwhirl}} evolved into a Politoed in ''[[EP247|Outrageous Fortunes]]''. [[Misty's Politoed]] is very cheerful up to the point where it would occasionally lose focus in a battle and start clapping.

[[Tammy]], a young girl who used Pokémon for cheerleading mistook Misty's Politoed for her own in ''[[EP249|I Politoed Ya So]]''. She asked Misty to lend it to her for a while since she and her Politoed were angry at each other; later, they make amends and Tammy gives Misty's Politoed back to her.

{{an|May}} battled against a Politoed in the [[Wisteria Town]] Contest in ''[[AG160|Harley Rides Again]]''.

Another Politoed appeared in [[DP139]], where [[Brock's Croagunk]] battled it.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Johto}}
{{Animedexbody|EP247|Politoed|Ash's Pokédex|Politoed, the Frog Pokémon. Politoed likes to expand its throat and sing out, drawing in {{p|Poliwag}} and {{p|Poliwhirl}} from all around.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|original|Johto}}

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Special===
In the [[Pokémon Special volume 9|9th volume of Pokémon Special]], {{special|Silver}} "borrowed" {{special|Gold}}'s Poliwhirl in exchange for his own {{p|Seadra}}. Due to the effects of the [[King's Rock]] Poliwhirl was holding, plus the effects of both Gold and Silver's communication devices, Poliwhirl evolved into Politoed, and Seadra evolved into a {{p|Kingdra}}.

==Trivia==
* Politoed's {{stat|Speed}} stat is lower than {{p|Poliwhirl|its pre-evolution}}. This also happens with its counterpart {{p|Poliwrath}}.
* Politoed is the only non-{{type2|Normal}} Pokémon that can learn {{m|Hyper Voice}}.
*Politoed does not learn any moves of the {{type2|Water}} by level up.
===Origin===
It is likely based on a {{wp|tree frog}}.
====Name origin====
Politoed is a combination of the word ''{{wp|polliwog}}'' and a misspelling of the word ''{{wp|toad}}''. Its Japanese name may be a combination of ニョロニョロ ''nyoronyoro'', the sound of slithering, and トノサマガエル ''tonosamagaeru'', {{wp|dark-spotted frog}}.

==In other languages==

'''Poliwrath''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ニョロボン''' ''Nyorobon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Fighting}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Poliwhirl}} via {{stone|Water Stone}}. It is one of the final forms of {{p|Poliwag}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Poliwrath looks superficially similar to Poliwhirl. However, it has gained more muscle, especially around its arms, which are now quite thick. Its eyes have changed from having wide pupils to small ones. It also appears to have a scowl.

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

====Special abilities====
In addition to the {{type2|Water}} abilities it had as {{p|Poliwag}} and {{p|Poliwhirl}}, Poliwrath has now gained the powers of a {{type2|Fighting}}-type. It can swim for vast distances without tiring, and with its increased arm and leg strength it also has the ability to run on the surface of water for a short amount of time.

===Behavior===
With its newly-gained fighting abilities, Poliwrath is more aggressive than its pre-evolutions, and is more willing to pick fights with others.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|left|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
Poliwrath, despite being excellent swimmers, usually live on dry land near the water's edge.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
[[Image:EP105.png|thumb|right|{{AP|Charizard}} battling [[Tad]]'s Poliwrath]]
==In the anime==
Poliwrath's first non-cameo appearance was in ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]''. An expert trainer named [[Tad]] had one and it defeated [[Ash's Charizard]] easily when {{Ash}} challenged him. Charizard managed to defeat the Poliwrath in a rematch.

In ''[[EP168|Hook, Line and Stinker]]'', [[Andreas]] in a {{p|Seaking}} Catching contest owned a Poliwrath.

[[Chuck]] used a Poliwrath against Ash in his Gym Battle in ''[[EP209|Machoke, Machoke Man]]''.

In ''[[EP247|Outrageous Fortunes]]'', Misty challenged another trainer named [[Delaney]] whose main Pokémon was Poliwrath. After seeing it in action, [[Team Rocket]] tricked Delaney into giving his Poliwrath to them.

A Poliwrath is used by a student of [[Pokémon Summer Academy]] in the second leg of the Pokémon Triathlon in ''[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team!]]''.

{{Animedexbody|EP105|Poliwrath|Ash's Pokédex|Poliwrath, the Tadpole Pokémon. Poliwrath is an excellent swimmer and its powerful muscles make its attacks extremely effective.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|Original|Orange}}

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Special manga===
Poliwrath debuts in ''[[PS011|Buzz Off, Electabuzz!]]'' when {{Special|Red}}'s ''[[Poli]]'' evolves into one to save its trainer from drowning. It's a muscular Pokémon who sends its enemies flying with {{m|Seismic Toss}}. {{Special|Gold}} also sees the same Poliwrath in a "Book of Champions", and then tells his Poliwag that it'll also become a Poliwrath.

==Trivia==
* Despite being classified as a tadpole Pokémon, its form resembles a froglet's and is presumably full grown.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Poliwrath.
*The spiral on its abdomen was different in each generation. In Generation II, the spiral ended on the upper half of its abdomen. In [[Generation III]], as shown in {{game|Emerald}}, the spiral ends at the rightmost side while in [[Generation IV]], the spiral ends at the lower half of its abdomen.
**Its spiral in Generation IV ends at almost the same position with Generation I.
* Poliwrath has a lower {{stat|Speed}} stat than {{p|Poliwhirl|its pre-evolution}}.
* Poliwrath, alongside {{p|Smeargle}} and {{p|Articuno}}, is one of the few Pokémon that can learn an accuracy-focusing move and an OHKO move, learning {{m|Fissure}} by [[TM27]] in [[Generation I]] and {{m|Mind Reader}} at level 51 in [[Generation II]]. It no longer has the ability to learn both moves, however.
* Poliwrath, along with {{p|Lucario}}, are the only {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon able to learn {{m|Psychic}}, not counting {{p|Meditite}}, {{p|Medicham}} and {{p|Gallade}}, as they are part {{type2|Psychic}}.
===Origin===
Poliwrath seems to be based on some amphibians that can stay as a tadpole their whole life. The spiral pattern on its belly is supposed to represent how the intestines of tadpoles can sometimes be seen through their transparent skin.
====Name origin====
Poliwrath's name appears to be a combination of ''{{wp|polliwog}}'' and ''wrath'', meaning anger. Its Japanese name may come in part from ニョロニョロ ''nyoronyoro'', the sound of slithering, and an alternate reading of the Japanese word for deluge or flood, 洪 ''kō'', is ''hon'' (in this case, ''bon'').

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Quappo - From ''Kaulquappe'' (tadpole).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Tartard - This name could come from ''tartarin'' (braggart), as well as ''têtard'' (tadpole).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 강챙이 ''Gangchaengi''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong)]]:快泳蛙

'''Poliwrath''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ニョロボン''' ''Nyorobon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Fighting}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Poliwhirl}} via {{stone|Water Stone}}. It is one of the final forms of {{p|Poliwag}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Poliwrath looks superficially similar to Poliwhirl. However, it has gained more muscle, especially around its arms, which are now quite thick. Its eyes have changed from having wide pupils to small ones. It also appears to have a scowl.

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

====Special abilities====
In addition to the {{type2|Water}} abilities it had as {{p|Poliwag}} and {{p|Poliwhirl}}, Poliwrath has now gained the powers of a {{type2|Fighting}}-type. It can swim for vast distances without tiring, and with its increased arm and leg strength it also has the ability to run on the surface of water for a short amount of time.

===Behavior===
With its newly-gained fighting abilities, Poliwrath is more aggressive than its pre-evolutions, and is more willing to pick fights with others.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|left|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
Poliwrath, despite being excellent swimmers, usually live on dry land near the water's edge.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
[[Image:EP105.png|thumb|right|{{AP|Charizard}} battling [[Tad]]'s Poliwrath]]
==In the anime==
Poliwrath's first non-cameo appearance was in ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]''. An expert trainer named [[Tad]] had one and it defeated [[Ash's Charizard]] easily when {{Ash}} challenged him. Charizard managed to defeat the Poliwrath in a rematch.

In ''[[EP168|Hook, Line and Stinker]]'', [[Andreas]] in a {{p|Seaking}} Catching contest owned a Poliwrath.

[[Chuck]] used a Poliwrath against Ash in his Gym Battle in ''[[EP209|Machoke, Machoke Man]]''.

In ''[[EP247|Outrageous Fortunes]]'', Misty challenged another trainer named [[Delaney]] whose main Pokémon was Poliwrath. After seeing it in action, [[Team Rocket]] tricked Delaney into giving his Poliwrath to them.

A Poliwrath is used by a student of [[Pokémon Summer Academy]] in the second leg of the Pokémon Triathlon in ''[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team!]]''.

{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|Original|Orange}}

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Special manga===
Poliwrath debuts in ''[[PS011|Buzz Off, Electabuzz!]]'' when {{Special|Red}}'s ''[[Poli]]'' evolves into one to save its trainer from drowning. It's a muscular Pokémon who sends its enemies flying with {{m|Seismic Toss}}. {{Special|Gold}} also sees the same Poliwrath in a "Book of Champions", and then tells his Poliwag that it'll also become a Poliwrath.

==Trivia==
* Despite being classified as a tadpole Pokémon, its form resembles a froglet's and is presumably full grown.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Poliwrath.
*The spiral on its abdomen was different in each generation from Generation II onwards. In Generation II, the spiral ended on the upper half of its abdomen. In [[Generation III]], as shown in {{game|Emerald}}, the spiral ends at the rightmost side while in [[Generation IV]], the spiral ends at the lower half of its abdomen.
* Poliwrath has a lower {{stat|Speed}} stat than {{p|Poliwhirl|its pre-evolution}}.
* Poliwrath, alongside {{p|Smeargle}} and {{p|Articuno}}, is one of the few Pokémon that can learn an accuracy-focusing move and an OHKO move, learning {{m|Fissure}} by [[TM27]] in [[Generation I]] and {{m|Mind Reader}} at level 51 in [[Generation II]]. It no longer has the ability to learn both moves, however.
* Poliwrath, along with {{p|Lucario}}, are the only {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon able to learn {{m|Psychic}}, not counting {{p|Meditite}}, {{p|Medicham}} and {{p|Gallade}}, as they are part {{type2|Psychic}}.
===Origin===
Poliwrath seems to be based on some amphibians that can stay as a tadpole their whole life. The spiral pattern on its belly is supposed to represent how the intestines of tadpoles can sometimes be seen through their transparent skin.
====Name origin====
Poliwrath's name appears to be a combination of ''{{wp|polliwog}}'' and ''wrath'', meaning anger. Its Japanese name may come in part from ニョロニョロ ''nyoronyoro'', the sound of slithering, and an alternate reading of the Japanese word for deluge or flood, 洪 ''kō'', is ''hon'' (in this case, ''bon'').

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Quappo - From ''Kaulquappe'' (tadpole).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Tartard - This name could come from ''tartarin'' (braggart), as well as ''têtard'' (tadpole).

'''Giratina''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ギラティナ''' ''Giratina'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Dragon}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

While it is similar to other legendary Pokémon in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, including its post-National Dex appearance and lack of relation to the games' overall plot, it was revealed in early February, 2008 to have an [[Form differences#Giratina|alternate form]] known as the Origin Forme, in addition to the form it takes in Diamond and Pearl, the Altered Forme. It is in this new form that Giratina took its place as [[version mascot]] of {{game|Platinum}}, the third version of [[Generation IV]].

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
As first revealed by Japan's CoroCoro Magazine, Giratina has two forms. The first (Altered Forme) is the form that appeared in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. In this form, Giratina is has a large, gray, centipede-like body with six short legs. Its legs have gold claws and gold bands on them. It has a tail and a thick black stripe running vertically along the front of its body. There is a series of red horizontal stripes running across the large black one. Three gold half-rings circle the back half of Giratina's neck at the same points that three of the red stripes are at on its front, resembling a ribcage. On its back are two large, black wings that are decorated with red, conical objects that also could be claws. The wings seem oddly out of place, due to the fact that Giratina seems far too heavy to fly effectively. The wings also seem to be ghostly, as they can change shape as if they were made of a liquid.

Giratina's head and eyes resemble those of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, causing many to theorize that it is related to the two. This assumption is confirmed in Pokémon Platinum. Giratina's {{shiny2}} form is nearly opposite in color compared to the original. The colors of the shiny Origin Forme is the same as the Altered Forme's except for the wings which appear to be a dark shade of brown.

The second is a new Origin Forme which made its debut in ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''; it uses this form when traveling through dimensions other than ours, such as the Distortion World. The form-altering is triggered by a change of gravity. This form is more serpentine than Giratina's Altered Forme. The Origin Forme of Giratina has six black streamers on its back that each have a red spike at the end. Its mouth is hidden by the head plates, which swing open sideways when the mouth is opening. Giratina's legs have been reduced to spike-like protrusions. There are four more golden spikes near the edge of the tail. This version of Giratina also appears in {{game|Platinum}}, and can be activated outside of the [[Distortion World]] if it is holding a {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Griseous Orb}}.

Giratina's body is likely made up of antimatter, like all things from the Distortion World.

====Gender differences====
Giratina is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
As to be expected with other {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon, Giratina is capable of using Ghost, {{t|Dark}}, {{t|Psychic}} and {{t|Electric}}al attacks. Unlike other {{t|Dragon}} Pokémon, Giratina lacks the ability to wield {{t|Ice}}- and {{type2|Fire}} attacks (save for {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, which most Ghost-types learn anyway). Giratina is one out of seven Pokémon that is capable of using {{m|Aura Sphere}}. Since Giratina is a "true" Dragon Pokémon, it is also capable of using {{m|Draco Meteor}}.

In Platinum, Giratina can transform to its Origin Forme by equipping the Griseous Orb. If the orb is unequipped in battle, it goes back to Altered Forme. The Origin Forme has higher offensive stats while the Altered Forme has higher defenses. Since Giratina's Origin Forme (and the Griseous Orb, for that matter) is exclusive to Platinum, when it is traded to Diamond or Pearl it will revert back to its Altered Forme, and the Griseous Orb it was holding goes back into the player's bag.

Giratina is able to control dimensions besides those of time and space.

Giratina is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Shadow Force}}.

When in its Origin Forme, it is able to pass through dimensions at will, however, it will turn back to its Altered Forme due to the gravity change from the [[Reverse World]]. It does so by emitting a whirlwind from its mouth which creates a portal.

It also seems to have a connection to reflective objects, such as mirrors and pools of water. Reflections embody the concept of an antimatter world.

===Behavior===
Judging by the events in Pokémon Platinum and ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', its portrayal in [[Sinnoh myths|ancient folklore]], and its Platinum Pokédex entry, it's assumed that Giratina is a highly aggressive Pokémon protective of [[Distortion World|its home]]. It should be noted that despite the legends depicting it in a more evil light than the others in its trio, Giratina arrived at Spear Pillar to save the world from Cyrus' attempted apotheosis; though it may have arrived to protect its own world from destruction.

===Habitat===
Legends claim that Giratina appear in cemeteries and that this Pokémon species supposedly lives in the spirit world, on the reverse side of ours. It was banished for violence.

===Diet===

==In the anime==
[[Image:{{#ifexpr: ({{#time: H}} mod 2) = 0|Giratina Altered Forme.png|Giratina Origin Form.png}}|thumb|right|210px|Giratina's {{#ifexpr: ({{#time: H}} mod 2) = 0|Altered|Origin}} Forme in ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'']]
{{an|Giratina}} made its anime debut in ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. In the movie, Giratina ambushes and drags {{an|Dialga}} into the [[Reverse World]] in order to exact revenge against the Temporal Pokémon for causing damage to it during its fight with {{an|Palkia}} [[The Rise of Darkrai|some time before]]. [[Zero]] also attempts to copy Giratina's powers in order to take control over the Reverse World. Throughout the movie, Giratina takes on its Origin Forme whenever it is in the Reverse World, and its Altered Forme whenever it is in the real world.

It will make another appearance in the [[Arceus: To a Conquering Spacetime|twelfth movie]] alongside {{an|Dialga}}, {{an|Palkia}}, and {{p|Arceus}}.

==In the manga==
In the Movie12 manga adaption, Giratina, along with the members of its trio battle in a final showdown.

* Giratina is the only dual-type Pokémon that has weaknesses to both of its own types, as well as the only {{type2|Ghost}} legendary Pokémon.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Giratina.
* Giratina is one of very few non-{{type2|Flying}} Pokémon that is able to learn {{m|Fly}}. The others are: {{p|Vibrava}}, {{p|Flygon}}, {{p|Latios}}, and {{p|Latias}} (all four of which have the [[ability]] {{a|Levitate}}), {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Smeargle}}, and {{p|Arceus}} (all three of which can learn all [[HM]] moves). It is the only one who does not permanently keep Levitate. Additionally, before the revelation of its Origin Forme, it was unique in learning Fly but not having legitimate access to Levitate at all.
* It is one of eight Pokémon which can change forms, the other seven being {{p|Castform}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Cherrim}}, {{p|Burmy}}, {{p|Rotom}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, and {{p|Arceus}}. Giratina's Origin Forme is only available in {{game|Platinum}}.
* In {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, Giratina is met at level 70, while {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}} are met at level 47, but in {{v2|Platinum}}, Giratina is met at level 47, while {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} are met at level 70.
*Among all members of the Dragon trio, Giratina is the only one not having Special Attack as its highest stat, having HP as its highest stat.
* Giratina, as of Platinum, is the only Pokémon to come out from above instead of from the left of the screen during the start of the battle.
* When Giratina is first fought with in Platinum, it does not have a shadow. After capturing though, it has one when leaving a [[Poké Ball]]. This may also occur following the use of {{m|Shadow Force}}.
** Ironically, [[Cyrus]] keeps referring to Giratina as ''the shadowy creature''.
* The first shown sprite of its Origin Forme was not used in Platinum.
* Giratina is the only one of the [[dragon trio]] with a catch rate of 3.
* In its Origin Forme, Giratina has the highest {{stat|Attack}} stat of all {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon.
* Giratina's Altered Forme is the second heaviest of all Pokémon, surpassed only by {{p|Groudon}}; however, its Origin Forme is the fourth heaviest.
* Giratina is the only Pokémon in a legendary trio that is separated from the other members of its group in the Pokédex; {{p|Heatran}} and {{p|Regigigas}} separate Giratina from {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}.
* Giratina is the only Pokémon of its trio whose {{m|Shadow Force|signature move}} is not of the {{type|Dragon}}.
* Giratina is the only one of its trio without a jewel located somewhere on its body.
* Giratina is considered to be the forgotten one among itself, Dialga and Palkia, even though all three were created by {{p|Arceus}}.
* Giratina is the only Pokémon that is able to hold the Griseous Orb; a Ditto that transforms into an Origin Forme Giratina during battle will immediately change back into Altered Forme (unless in battle with it in the Distortion World).
* In {{v2|Platinum}}, if Giratina is knocked out in the [[Distortion World]], it can be battled again in [[Turnback Cave]] (and thus in Altered Forme).
** If it is defeated a second time in the Turnback Cave battle, it will reappear in one week for another battle. It shares this trait with {{p|Heatran}}. However, the items rewarded for completing Turnback Cave's maze will be unavailable during this time.
* In interviews [[Junichi Masuda]] and [[Takeshi Kawachimaru]] did for G4, it was said that Giratina and its Distortion World were created to be personifications of {{wp|antimatter}}.
* Giratina is the only Pokémon at the end of a regional Pokédex listing that is not an event-exclusive Pokémon.

===Origin===
Giratina is possibly based on a {{wp|basilisk}}. In the Altered Forme, the wings may be based on a bat's, and its body has an insect-like, six-legged feature, but its posture is similar to a {{wp|sauropod}}. Its Origin Forme has a body similar to a serpent, while the six protrusions on its body may be based off of a [[wp:scorpion|scorpion]]'s stinger.

====Name origin====
Giratina's name may be derived from {{wp|platinum}} (written as プラチナ ''platina'' in {{wp|katakana}}; compare to ギラティナ) and either {{wp|guillotine}}, [http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Girasol girasol], {{wp|giraffe}} or girare (meaning to wander).

'''Giratina''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ギラティナ''' ''Giratina'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Dragon}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

While it is similar to other legendary Pokémon in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, including its post-National Dex appearance and lack of relation to the games' overall plot, it was revealed in early February, 2008 to have an [[Form differences#Giratina|alternate form]] known as the Origin Forme, in addition to the form it takes in Diamond and Pearl, the Altered Forme. It is in this new form that Giratina took its place as [[version mascot]] of {{game|Platinum}}, the third version of [[Generation IV]].

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
As first revealed by Japan's CoroCoro Magazine, Giratina has two forms. The first (Altered Forme) is the form that appeared in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. In this form, Giratina is has a large, gray, centipede-like body with six short legs. Its legs have gold claws and gold bands on them. It has a tail and a thick black stripe running vertically along the front of its body. There is a series of red horizontal stripes running across the large black one. Three gold half-rings circle the back half of Giratina's neck at the same points that three of the red stripes are at on its front, resembling a ribcage. On its back are two large, black wings that are decorated with red, conical objects that also could be claws. The wings seem oddly out of place, due to the fact that Giratina seems far too heavy to fly effectively. The wings also seem to be ghostly, as they can change shape as if they were made of a liquid.

Giratina's head and eyes resemble those of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, causing many to theorize that it is related to the two. This assumption is confirmed in Pokémon Platinum. Giratina's {{shiny2}} form is nearly opposite in color compared to the original. The colors of the shiny Origin Forme is the same as the Altered Forme's except for the wings which appear to be a dark shade of brown.

The second is a new Origin Forme which made its debut in ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''; it uses this form when traveling through dimensions other than ours, such as the Distortion World. The form-altering is triggered by a change of gravity. This form is more serpentine than Giratina's Altered Forme. The Origin Forme of Giratina has six black streamers on its back that each have a red spike at the end. Its mouth is hidden by the head plates, which swing open sideways when the mouth is opening. Giratina's legs have been reduced to spike-like protrusions. There are four more golden spikes near the edge of the tail. This version of Giratina also appears in {{game|Platinum}}, and can be activated outside of the [[Distortion World]] if it is holding a {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Griseous Orb}}.

Giratina's body is likely made up of antimatter, like all things from the Distortion World.

====Gender differences====
Giratina is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
As to be expected with other {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon, Giratina is capable of using Ghost, {{t|Dark}}, {{t|Psychic}} and {{t|Electric}}al attacks. Unlike other {{t|Dragon}} Pokémon, Giratina lacks the ability to wield {{t|Ice}}- and {{type2|Fire}} attacks (save for {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, which most Ghost-types learn anyway). Giratina is one out of seven Pokémon that is capable of using {{m|Aura Sphere}}. Since Giratina is a "true" Dragon Pokémon, it is also capable of using {{m|Draco Meteor}}.

In Platinum, Giratina can transform to its Origin Forme by equipping the Griseous Orb. If the orb is unequipped in battle, it goes back to Altered Forme. The Origin Forme has higher offensive stats while the Altered Forme has higher defenses. Since Giratina's Origin Forme (and the Griseous Orb, for that matter) is exclusive to Platinum, when it is traded to Diamond or Pearl it will revert back to its Altered Forme, and the Griseous Orb it was holding goes back into the player's bag.

Giratina is able to control dimensions besides those of time and space.

Giratina is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Shadow Force}}.

When in its Origin Forme, it is able to pass through dimensions at will, however, it will turn back to its Altered Forme due to the gravity change from the [[Reverse World]]. It does so by emitting a whirlwind from its mouth which creates a portal.

It also seems to have a connection to reflective objects, such as mirrors and pools of water. Reflections embody the concept of an antimatter world.

===Behavior===
Judging by the events in Pokémon Platinum and ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', its portrayal in [[Sinnoh myths|ancient folklore]], and its Platinum Pokédex entry, it's assumed that Giratina is a highly aggressive Pokémon protective of [[Distortion World|its home]]. It should be noted that despite the legends depicting it in a more evil light than the others in its trio, Giratina arrived at Spear Pillar to save the world from Cyrus' attempted apotheosis; though it may have arrived to protect its own world from destruction.

===Habitat===
Legends claim that Giratina appear in cemeteries and that this Pokémon species supposedly lives in the spirit world, on the reverse side of ours. It was banished for violence.

===Diet===

==In the anime==
[[Image:{{#ifexpr: ({{#time: H}} mod 2) = 0|Giratina Altered Forme.png|Giratina Origin Form.png}}|thumb|right|210px|Giratina's {{#ifexpr: ({{#time: H}} mod 2) = 0|Altered|Origin}} Forme in ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'']]
{{an|Giratina}} made its anime debut in ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. In the movie, Giratina ambushes and drags {{an|Dialga}} into the [[Reverse World]] in order to exact revenge against the Temporal Pokémon for causing damage to it during its fight with {{an|Palkia}} [[The Rise of Darkrai|some time before]]. [[Zero]] also attempts to copy Giratina's powers in order to take control over the Reverse World. Throughout the movie, Giratina takes on its Origin Forme whenever it is in the Reverse World, and its Altered Forme whenever it is in the real world.

It will make another appearance in the [[Arceus: To a Conquering Spacetime|twelfth movie]] alongside {{an|Dialga}}, {{an|Palkia}}, and {{p|Arceus}}.

==In the manga==
In the Movie12 manga adaption, Giratina, along with the members of its trio battle in a final showdown.

* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Giratina.
* Giratina is one of very few non-{{type2|Flying}} Pokémon that is able to learn {{m|Fly}}. The others are: {{p|Vibrava}}, {{p|Flygon}}, {{p|Latios}}, and {{p|Latias}} (all four of which have the [[ability]] {{a|Levitate}}), {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Smeargle}}, and {{p|Arceus}} (all three of which can learn all [[HM]] moves). It is the only one who does not permanently keep Levitate. Additionally, before the revelation of its Origin Forme, it was unique in learning Fly but not having legitimate access to Levitate at all.
* It is one of eight Pokémon which can change forms, the other seven being {{p|Castform}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Cherrim}}, {{p|Burmy}}, {{p|Rotom}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, and {{p|Arceus}}. Giratina's Origin Forme is only available in {{game|Platinum}}.
* In {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, Giratina is met at level 70, while {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}} are met at level 47, but in {{v2|Platinum}}, Giratina is met at level 47, while {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} are met at level 70.
*Among all members of the {{trio|Dragon}}, Giratina is the only one not having Special Attack as its highest stat, having HP as its highest stat.
* Giratina, as of Platinum, is the only Pokémon to come out from above instead of from the left of the screen during the start of the battle.
* When Giratina is first fought with in Platinum, it does not have a shadow. After capturing though, it has one when leaving a [[Poké Ball]]. This may also occur following the use of {{m|Shadow Force}}.
** Ironically, [[Cyrus]] keeps referring to Giratina as ''the shadowy creature''.
* The first shown sprite of its Origin Forme was not used in Platinum.
* Giratina is the only one of the [[dragon trio]] with a catch rate of 3.
* In its Origin Forme, Giratina has the highest {{stat|Attack}} stat of all {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon.
* Giratina's Altered Forme is the second heaviest of all Pokémon, surpassed only by {{p|Groudon}}; however, its Origin Forme is the fourth heaviest.
* Giratina is the only Pokémon in a legendary trio that is separated from the other members of its group in the Pokédex; {{p|Heatran}} and {{p|Regigigas}} separate Giratina from {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}.
* Giratina is the only Pokémon of its trio whose {{m|Shadow Force|signature move}} is not of the {{type|Dragon}}.
* Giratina is the only one of its trio without a jewel located somewhere on its body.
* Giratina is considered to be the forgotten one among itself, Dialga and Palkia, even though all three were created by {{p|Arceus}}.
* Giratina is the only Pokémon that is able to hold the Griseous Orb; a Ditto that transforms into an Origin Forme Giratina during battle will immediately change back into Altered Forme (unless in battle with it in the Distortion World).
* In {{v2|Platinum}}, if Giratina is knocked out in the [[Distortion World]], it can be battled again in [[Turnback Cave]] (and thus in Altered Forme).
** If it is defeated a second time in the Turnback Cave battle, it will reappear in one week for another battle. It shares this trait with {{p|Heatran}}. However, the items rewarded for completing Turnback Cave's maze will be unavailable during this time.
* In interviews [[Junichi Masuda]] and [[Takeshi Kawachimaru]] did for G4, it was said that Giratina and its Distortion World were created to be personifications of {{wp|antimatter}}.
* Giratina is the only Pokémon at the end of a regional Pokédex listing that is not an event-exclusive Pokémon.

===Origin===
Giratina is possibly based on a {{wp|basilisk}}. In the Altered Forme, the wings may be based on a bat's, and its body has an insect-like, six-legged feature, but its posture is similar to a {{wp|sauropod}}. Its Origin Forme has a body similar to a serpent, while the six protrusions on its body may be based off of a [[wp:scorpion|scorpion]]'s stinger.

====Name origin====
Giratina's name may be derived from {{wp|platinum}} (written as プラチナ ''platina'' in {{wp|katakana}}; compare to ギラティナ) and either {{wp|guillotine}}, [http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Girasol girasol], {{wp|giraffe}} or girare (meaning to wander).

'''Ash's Sceptile''' (Japanese: '''サトシのジュカイン''' ''Satoshi's Jukain'') was the second [[Pokémon]] caught by [[Ash Ketchum]] in the [[Hoenn]] region. His voice actor in Japanese is 上田祐司 ''[[Yūji Ueda]]'' and his English voice actor is [[Bill Rogers]]. As a Treecko, he was voiced by [[Dan Green]] in English. As a Grovyle, he was voiced by [[Darren Dunstan]] ([[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] dub) and by Bill Rogers ({{PUSA}} dub) in English.

==History==
[[Image:Ash Treecko.jpg|left|thumb|As a Treecko]]
{{p|Treecko}} was caught in the episode ''[[AG007|Tree's a Crowd!]]'' after Ash helped him in trying to save his old tree home; this event was followed by a battle with [[Ash's Pikachu]], and Ash caught him as a result of that battle. Ash has used Treecko in a number of battles since its capture including the gym battles against [[Roxanne]] and [[Brawly]].

Treecko evolved into {{p|Grovyle}} in the episode ''[[AG066|Exploud and Clear]]'' in the middle of a battle against {{Ho|Guy}}'s {{p|Loudred}}. Ash has used Grovyle in almost every gym battle since its evolution. The most notable being the one against [[Norman]] in ''[[AG070|Balance of Power]]'', where it battled [[Norman's Slaking]]. It was also used in the [[Ever Grande Conference]] as well as the battle against the [[Frontier Brain]], {{FB|Arena Tycoon|Greta}}.
[[Image:Grovyle-anime.jpg|left|thumb|As a Grovyle]]
It evolved into Sceptile in ''[[AG161|Odd Pokémon Out]]'' when its love, [[Nurse Joy]]'s {{p|Meganium}}, was attacked by [[Team Rocket]]. Until ''[[AG163|Cutting The Ties That Bind]]'', Sceptile lost his ability to use attacks due to a broken heart. He regained his ability to use attacks in the above-mentioned episode to save Ash from Team Rocket, with the use of Leaf Blade. It then used Quick Attack to save him and Bullet Seed to soften the fall. It was used in Ash's battle against [[Palace Maven Spenser|Spenser]] in the following episode, ''[[AG164|Ka Boom With A View]]'', where it won Ash the [[Symbol|Spirit Symbol]] after learning a new move, {{m|SolarBeam}}.

Sceptile has since become one of Ash's most powerful Pokémon, even strong enough to hold its own in battle against certain [[legendary Pokémon]]. It is exceptionally fast and a good jumper. Sceptile also has a habit of keeping a twig in his mouth. He is also a bit of a loner, and can often be seen sitting alone on the branch of a tree, resting or looking at the sky. Both of these habits were carried over from when Sceptile was a Treecko. Despite this, Sceptile is a competitive battler, almost never turning down a fight. Sceptile was one of the five Pokémon that Ash took with him on his journey to the {{ho|Battle Frontier}}.

In ''[[AG191|Once More With Reeling]]'' it fought in the Teracotta contest final against [[May's Blaziken]]. The battle resulted in a tie where both May and Ash won the medal. This is the most recent battle Sceptile has fought under Ash's command.

Ash left Sceptile at [[Professor Oak]]'s lab before setting off to [[Sinnoh]].

{{anmu|Psychic|Agility|AG166|Curbing the Crimson Tide}}
{{anmu/f|Grass|c=a}}

==Trivia==
*Sceptile keeping a twig in his mouth is much like a 番長 ''banchō'', a juvenile gang leader, a character type that was common in {{wp|manga}} and {{wp|anime}} in the sixties and early seventies.
* Sceptile is the only one of Ash's {{type2|Grass}} [[Starter Pokémon|starter]] Pokémon that hasn't used {{m|Razor Leaf}}.
* Sceptile has learned a new Grass-type move in each of its evolutions: Bullet Seed as Treecko, Leaf Blade as Grovyle, and SolarBeam as Sceptile.
* When charging up for SolarBeam, Ash's Sceptile uses the seeds on its back, but as seen with {{Tyson's Sceptile}}, SolarBeam was charged using its tail.
* In ''[[AG161|Odd Pokémon Out]]'' Ash referred to Sceptile as being male. He said, "...''he'' won, and ''he'' lost..." It should be noted, however, that this was said in the dub only.
* It took 59 episodes for {{p|Treecko}} to evolve into a {{p|Grovyle}}. Incidentally, the amount of episodes to evolve again was the reversed digits; 95.
===Firsts for Ash===
*Treecko was the first of Ash's Pokémon not to know any moves of its type upon capture
*Treecko was the first of Ash's Hoenn Pokémon to evolve.
*Sceptile is Ash's first fully evolved Grass-type starter.
===Traits shared with other Pokémon===
* Sceptile along with [[Ash's Charizard]] are the only of Ash's starters that reached their final stage of evolution.
* Sceptile is the third of Ash's Pokémon to show interest in a Pokémon of a different species (a {{p|Meganium}}) The first was {{AP|Totodile}} who has shown interest in an {{p|Azumarill}} and a {{p|Quagsire}}, and the second was {{AP|Corphish}} who has shown interest in a {{p|Mawile}}.
* {{an|May}}'s {{TP|May|Venusaur}} can be seen as a parallel to Sceptile, as both are the final form Grass-type starter Pokémon from their owner's [[Generation III]] co-star's home region.
* Like [[May's Blaziken]], Sceptile was voiced by [[Darren Dunstan]] in its second stage followed by [[Bill Rogers]] after the [[Pokémon USA recasting controversy|voice switch]], and Bill Rogers in its final form.

'''Crobat''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''クロバット''' ''Crobat'') is a dual-type {{2t|Poison|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Golbat}} via [[happiness]]. It is the final form of {{p|Zubat}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Crobat has a purple body as opposed to being blue, like its pre-evolutions. Crobat has a stubby pair of feet and has developed a second pair of wings. Crobat's eyes are yellow with red pupils.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Crobat's extra pair of wings allow it to fly much faster than its predecessors. Crobat's wings have also developed a more powerful cutting edge for using {{m|Cross Poison}} and {{m|X-Scissor}}.

Like most fully evolved Pokémon, Crobat can learn {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}.

===Behavior===
===Habitat===
[[Image:Cave.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Cave Pokémon|Cave Pokémon]]]]
Crobat is a cave-dwelling Pokémon, however it is likely that they flutter outside [[Nocturnal Pokémon|during the night]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Brock_crobat.jpg|thumb|right|{{TP|Brock|Crobat}} in the anime]]
[[Brock]] had a {{TP|Brock|Crobat}} that he originally caught as a Zubat. He eventually gave it to his brother [[Forrest]].

Several Crobat appeared in ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part One]]'', employed by the [[J's henchmen|followers]] of [[J|Hunter J]].

Crobat made a small appearance in ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]'' as one of the Pokémon {{an|Darkrai}} hit with a {{m|Dark Void}} attack as the other trainers were attacking him.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Johto}}
{{Animedexbody|EP196|Crobat|Ash's Pokédex|Crobat, the evolved form of {{p|Golbat}}. With its two additional wings, Crobat is able to fly much faster than Golbat.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|Original|Johto}}

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Special===
In {{PSV|11}}, [[Janine]] uses a Crobat to fight {{p|Suicune}}, but even her best ninja-based skills fail to defeat the legendary Water-type.

Giovanni is later seen with a Crobat in {{PSV|24}}, presumably picked up during his solo training journey.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Crobat (TCG)}}

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Crobat only appears as a random trophy.
====Trophy information====
A Bat Pokémon that evolves from {{P|Golbat}}, Crobat's hind legs have evolved into a second pair of wings, which allows it to fly at great speeds but limits its ability to rest. The affection a Golbat has for its {{pkmn|Trainer}} is vital for the evolution process: if a novice Trainer has a Crobat, it shows that he or she cares for Pokémon well.

==Game data==
===Pokédex entries===
{{Dex
|type=poison
|type2=flying
|gen=2
|golddex=It flies so silently through the dark on its four wings that it may not be noticed even when nearby.
|silverdex=The development of wings on its legs enables it to fly fast but also makes it tough to stop and rest.
|crystaldex=As a result of its pursuit of faster, yet more silent flight, a new set of wings grew on its hindlegs.
|stadium2dex=It flies so silently through the dark on its four wings that it may not be noticed even when nearby.
|rubydex=If this Pokémon is flying by fluttering only a pair of wings on either the forelegs or hind legs, it's proof that Crobat has been flying a long distance. It switches the wings it uses if it is tired.
|sapphiredex=Crobat sneaks up on its intended prey using wings that barely make a sound. This Pokémon rests by hanging on a tree branch with its rear legs that serve as wings.
|emeralddex=Over the course of evolution, its hind legs turned into wings. By alternately resting its front and rear wings, it can fly all day without having to stop.
|firereddex=The development of wings on its legs enables it to fly fast but also makes it tough to stop and rest.
|leafgreendex=It flies so silently through the dark on its four wings that it may not be noticed even when nearby.

==Trivia==
* Despite the fact that the Pokédex information says that Crobat's rear legs and rear wings are the same body part, Crobat clearly has a set of feet and legs distinct from its hind wings depicted in the rear sprites in [[Generation III]], as well as in the anime, TCG, and 3D games. However, the [[footprint]] in the Pokédex for Crobat is blank.
** In its {{v|Gold}} frontal sprite, Crobat seems to have what appears to be toes on the end of its rear wings. The back sprite, however, shows separate feet, as well as the back sprites in {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}.
* Crobat is in all regional [[Pokédex]]es except the [[National Pokédex|Kanto Pokédex]].
* To date, every [[Villainous teams|villainous team]] in the main series of games have had at least one of their members use Crobat and/or one its [[Evolution|evolutionary]] family. The head of all villainous teams aside from [[Team Rocket]] uses one in their final battle with the player.
* Since its debut in [[Generation II]], Crobat's color scheme has been {{p|Golbat}}'s color scheme, inverted. This also applies to its shiny variation.
* Crobat is the first Pokémon in National Pokédex order to be related to a Pokémon of a previous [[generation]].
* In recent 3-D games, it is revealed that Crobat has teeth only in its lower jaw.
** This is also shown in {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, when it uses its attack.
*Crobat has the highest base stat total of all {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon, excluding {{p|Arceus}} while holding the Toxic Plate.
* Crobat is the fastest {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon, with a base Speed of 130.
** Crobat is tied with {{p|Aerodactyl}} for being the second fastest {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon, behind {{p|Ninjask}}.
* Crobat is the only Pokémon of its body type ([[List of Pokémon by body style#Pokémon that have two pairs of wings|type 13]]) that is not {{type2|Bug}} or in the {{egg3|Bug}}.
===Origin===
Crobat is based on a {{wp|bat}}.
====Name origin====
Crobat's name is a combination of ''cross'' and ''{{wp|bat}}''. It may also be a combination of 黒 ''kuro'', black, and English ''{{wp|bat}}''. It may also be a pun on acrobat.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Iksbat - The letter X is pronounced ''Iks'' in German, might refer to the arrangement of its wings.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Nostenfer - From ''nocturne'' (nocturnal) or ''{{wp|Nosferatu (word)|Nosferatu}}'', and ''Enfer'' (Hell).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 크로뱃 ''Keurobaet''

'''Revenge''' (Japanese: '''リベンジ''' ''Revenge'') is a damage-dealing {{type2|Fighting}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation III]].

==Effect==
===Generation III===
Revenge deals damage. If the user takes damage in the same turn, Revenge's power is doubled to 120. Revenge is affected by the user's and target's {{Stat|speed}} stat and therefore the user must be slower than the target in order to take damage in the same turn or must be hit by an increased priority attack.

===[[Generation IV]]===
Revenge deals damage and is a decreased priority move, causing the user to attack after other Pokémon that are using ordinary priority moves. Otherwise, it is exactly the same as Generation III.

==Trivia==
* The only time Golbat's tongue is shown is in {{v2|Red and Blue|s}} sprites. It also appears in its 3D form in games like {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}.
* Golbat is the first Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex]] listing to gain {{p|Crobat|a new evolution}} in a [[Generation II|later generation]].
* To date, every [[villainous team]] in the main series of games have had at least one of their members use Golbat and/or one its evolutionary family.
* Zubat and Golbat have been in all regional [[Pokédex]]es.
* Golbat and {{p|Chansey}} are the only Pokémon that evolve by [[happiness]] that are already evolved. Before [[Generation IV]], Golbat was the only one.
* Until [[Generation IV]], both Golbat and Zubat could not learn {{m|Fly}}.
* Golbat is capable of learning {{m|Brave Bird}} despite not actually being based on a bird.
* {{game|Platinum}} is the only game in which both of Golbat's wings are pointing down in its sprite.
* Unlike Zubat's wings, the outside of Golbat's wings looks almost the same as the inside. However, in its {{game|Yellow}} sprite, they resemble Zubat's wings instead, even though the backsprite does not reflect this.

===Origin===
Golbat is likely based on a {{wp|vampire bat}}.
====Name origin====
Golbat's name is derived from the words ''gold'' and ''{{wp|bat}}''. It might be a shortening of {{wp|golden-capped fruit bat}}, the largest bat species in existence. However, it may also be derived from the words ''ghoul'' and ''bat''.

==In other languages==

'''Ash's Charizard''' (Japanese: '''サトシのリザードン''' ''Satoshi's Lizardon'') was the fifth [[Pokémon]] acquired by [[Ash Ketchum]] in the [[Kanto]] region. Its voice actor in both Japanese and English is ''[[Shin'ichirō Miki]]''. In English, [[Michael Haigney]] was the voice of it as a {{p|Charmander}} and [[Eric Stuart]] was its voice as a {{p|Charmeleon}}.

==History==
===In Kanto===
[[Image:Capture56.png‎|As a {{p|Charmander}}|thumb|left]]
Charizard was originally obtained as a {{p|Charmander}} in ''[[EP011|Charmander the Stray Pokémon]]''. The Charmander was abandoned by [[Damian]], and Ash and his friends found and nurtured it back to health. Charmander then chose to join Ash. It was immediately one of Ash's most used [[Pokémon]], defeating such opponents as a {{p|Golem}}, a {{p|Jynx}}, [[Koga]]'s {{p|Golbat}}, [[Erika]]'s {{p|Weepinbell}}, and a {{AP|Primeape}} (which Ash subsequently captured).

Charmander [[Evolution|evolved]] into Charmeleon in ''[[EP043|March of the Exeggutor Squad]]'' and quickly lost its loyalty to Ash, attacking a {{p|Paras}} when Ash was trying to deliberately lose in order to help Paras evolve (''[[EP044|The Problem with Paras]]''). A few episodes down the line, it evolved again into Charizard in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' to battle an {{p|Aerodactyl}}. From the time of its becoming Charmeleon to the [[Orange Islands]] episode ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'', Charizard refused to obey Ash, the only exception being when he decided to test his strength against [[Blaine]]'s powerful {{TP|Blaine|Magmar}} during Ash's attempts to win a {{Badge|Volcano}}. Charizard's disloyalty especially hurt Ash the most during the [[Indigo League]] championships, causing Ash to forfeit the fifth round when it refused to battle [[Ritchie]]'s {{p|Pikachu}}, [[Sparky]].

===In the Orange Archipelago===
After ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'', however, it became one of Ash's most reliable Pokémon, considered by many to be his strongest, even stronger than {{AP|Pikachu}}. Charizard's return to Ash's side is due to being frozen by a powerful {{p|Poliwrath}}; Ash stayed up all night trying to help it, thus earning Charizard's respect and reminding it of all that Ash had done for it back when he was a Charmander.

It participated in Ash's Gym Battle against [[Luana]], which was also the series's first [[double battle]], pitting it and Pikachu against Luana's {{p|Alakazam}} and {{p|Marowak}}; although the two Pokémon initially had trouble collaborating, they eventually managed to work together, Pikachu helping to free Charizard from Alakazam's {{m|Psychic}} attack and Charizard 'catching' Pikachu after it was hit by Marowak's {{m|Bonemerang}} attack. Ash then used it in his Orange League battle against {{oi|Drake}}, defeating his {{p|Electabuzz}} and subsequently battling his {{TP|Drake|Dragonite}} before it fainted.

===Johto===
It participated in Ash's first Johto Gym battle against [[Falkner]], where it defeated Falkner's {{p|Pidgeot}} despite the latter's impressive {{stat|Speed}}. In ''[[EP134|Charizard's Burning Ambition]]'', Ash left his Charizard in the [[Charicific Valley]] with {{Jo|Liza}} to train and become more powerful. While there, it took the role of bodyguard for Liza's Charizard, [[Charla]], and the two have struck up a {{s|ValleyShipping|romantic relationship}}. The two Charizard occasionally visit the [[Dragon's Den|Dragon's Valley]] in [[Blackthorn City]], one such visit coincidentally being when Ash was there for his final [[Johto]] gym battle, resulting in Charizard helping Ash defeat [[Clair]]'s newly-evolved {{TP|Clair|Dragonair}} in his rematch with her by causing the water in the gym's pool to evaporate with its {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Fire Spin}}, thus depriving Dragonair of its protection.
[[Image:Pokemon3Charizard.PNG|Ash and Charizard|thumb|left]]
Charizard can be called upon at any time and has been used in many major battles when Ash requires its firepower. Ash later used Charizard in the [[Silver Conference]] during his fight against [[Gary Oak]] in ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]'' (during which it decisively defeated [[Gary's Blastoise]] despite the type disadvantage and having already defeated Gary's {{p|Scizor}} and Golem). It was then used in Ash's fight against {{jo|Harrison}}, where it was defeated by [[Harrison's Blaziken]] after a tough fight. However, Charizard injured Blaziken so badly that it couldn't fight the next day.

===Kanto Battle Frontier===
In ''[[AG136|The Symbol Life]]'', Charizard returned for Ash's first {{ho|Battle Frontier}} battle, where it took on [[Noland's Articuno]] at the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Hoenn)|Battle Factory}} and won thanks to its use of the newly-learned {{m|Overheat}}, the unorthodox strategy of catching Articuno as it tried to use {{m|Steel Wing}} on it, and its trademark {{m|Seismic Toss}}. Charizard also battled alongside Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Pikachu in a four-on-four battle against {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s Pokémon in ''[[AG189|Gathering the Gang of Four!]]'', but it was defeated by Brandon's Dusclops.

===Moves improvised===
"Flaming Seismic Toss" was used in ''[[EP254|Better Eight Than Never]]'' which is a combination of Charizard's {{m|Seismic Toss}} and {{m|Fire Spin}} along with {{TP|Clair|Dragonair}}'s {{m|Dragon Rage}}.

"Aerial Submission" was a move used by Charizard in ''[[EP059|Volcanic Panic]]''. Charizard spins while flying, causing damage to [[Blaine's Magmar]], who was clinging on to Charizard.

==Trivia==
* Out of all of Ash's Pokémon, Charizard has used the most moves (14) followed by {{AP|Snorlax}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} (10), and {{AP|Bulbasaur}} (with 9).
* Paul's {{AP|Chimchar}} was later in a similar situation to Charmander, with the original trainer releasing it due to it never winning any battles and Ash subsequently taking it in and managing to encourage it to release its full potential.
* Because of his capture of Chimchar, Ash now has owned each Fire-type starter whose English name begins with a C and whose Japanese name begins with a ヒ ''hi'': Charmander, {{AP|Cyndaquil}}, and Chimchar. Incidentally, Charmander and Chimchar were either abused or abandoned by their former trainers, while Cyndaquil narrowly avoided being captured by [[Koji|a potentially abusive Trainer]].
*During ''[[EP133|Tanks a Lot!]]'', Brock mentioned that Charizard was male when saying that Charizard could use ''his'' {{m|Flamethrower}} to destroy the Arbo-Tank, but since this only occurred in the dub it is uncertain how dependable this information is.
*According to the anime, Charizard and its pre-evolutions die if the flame on their tails go out. However, Ash's Charizard once had its tail completely submerged in a pool of water, as well as falling into the ocean as a Charmander, but it was not harmed either time.
**Interestingly enough, on the Orange Islands DVD box set, the thumbnail picture next to the episode ''Enter the Dragonite'' on the menu shows Charizard facing Dragonite, but Charizard's flame is missing.
[[Image:Charmeleon.png|220px|As a {{p|Charmeleon}}|thumb|right]]
* Charizard was actually Ash's third Pokémon to disobey him. The first two were {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{AP|Primeape}}, although it disobeyed Ash for far longer than the other two.
** Charizard is also the first Pokémon to disobey its {{pkmn|Trainer}} after evolving in the [[Pokémon anime]], the second being {{an|Dawn}}'s {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}}.
* {{AP|Sceptile}} and Charizard are the only starter Pokémon that {{Ash}} owned that evolved to their final stage. Coincidentally, both Pokémon were lizard-based in their first form (Treecko and Charmander). They are also Ash's only Pokémon that are in the {{egg3|Dragon}}.
* Starting with its battle against Blaine's Magmar, Charizard, in almost every major battle it's been in and Ash has won, has defeated his opponent with {{m|Seismic Toss}}. The only exceptions are in the battle against [[Luana]] (though it's debatable whether this counts, since Charizard was fighting alongside Pikachu and didn't deliver the finishing blow), fighting Gary's Golem (due to it being too heavy to lift off the ground), and when it fought against a wild {{p|Dragonite}} with the help of Clair's Dragonair. On an interesting note, he attempted to do the same to Brandon's Dusclops, though it failed since {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon are immune to {{type|Fighting}} moves.
* In the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] {{pkmn|manga}}, Charizard was much more violent, and could (normally) only be calmed by a torch that Ash carried around, which contained a flame from {{p|Moltres}}. During Ash's battle against [[Ritchie]], in which both trainers send out a Charizard as their last Pokémon, Ash's Charizard goes berserk and severely injures [[Zippo|Ritchie's]], to the point that it's shown bleeding heavily from multiple wounds. Overwhelmed by guilt, Ash leaves the arena, thus forfeiting the battle even though he technically won. It is later mentioned that Ritchie's Charizard will be okay.
* Charizard was the first Pokémon in the {{pkmn|anime}} to have defeated a [[legendary Pokémon]] in the form of [[Noland's Articuno]] in ''[[AG136|The Symbol Life]]''.
*Charizard is the largest {{type|Flying}} Pokemon {{Ash}} has ever owned.

The only exceptions are in the battle against [[Luana]] (though it's debatable whether this counts, since Charizard was fighting alongside Pikachu and didn't deliver the finishing blow), fighting Gary's Golem (due to it being too heavy to lift off the ground), and when it fought against a wild {{p|Dragonite}} with the help of Clair's Dragonair. On an interesting note, he attempted to do the same to Brandon's Dusclops, though it failed since {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon are immune to {{type|Fighting}} moves.
* In the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] {{pkmn|manga}}, Charizard was much more violent, and could (normally) only be calmed by a torch that Ash carried around, which contained a flame from {{p|Moltres}}. During Ash's battle against [[Ritchie]], in which both trainers send out a Charizard as their last Pokémon, Ash's Charizard goes berserk and severely injures [[Zippo|Ritchie's]], to the point that it's shown bleeding heavily from multiple wounds. Overwhelmed by guilt, Ash leaves the arena, thus forfeiting the battle even though he technically won. It is later mentioned that Ritchie's Charizard will be okay.
* Charizard was the first Pokémon in the {{pkmn|anime}} to have defeated a [[legendary Pokémon]] in the form of [[Noland's Articuno]] in ''[[AG136|The Symbol Life]]''.
*Charizard is the largest {{t|Flying}} Pokemon {{Ash}} has ever owned.

'''Ash's Pidgeot''' (Japanese: '''サトシのピジョット''' ''Satoshi's Pigeot'') was the third [[Pokémon]] obtained by [[Ash Ketchum]] during his travels through the [[Kanto]] region. Its voice actor as Pidgeotto and Pidgeot in both Japanese and English is 林原めぐみ ''[[Megumi Hayashibara]]''.

==History==
[[Image:Ash_and_Pigeotto.jpg|thumb|left|As a Pidgeotto, with Ash]]Ash caught Pidgeot as a {{p|Pidgeotto}} in the [[Viridian Forest]]. It was Ash's first {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon, but it was not used much; when it was, it was often to blow away {{m|SmokeScreen}}s, pop holes in [[Team Rocket]]'s balloon, or scout around to find the way to their next destination. Despite this, it took part in many Kanto gym battles. It fought at the {{gy|Pewter}} and [[Fuchsia Gym]]s, won an important victory by defeating a {{p|Rhydon}} in Ash's battle for the {{Badge|Earth}}, battled [[Misty's Starmie]] when Ash competed against her for the {{Badge|Cascade}}, and also carried {{AP|Pikachu}} into battle against the giant {{p|Tentacruel}} in ''[[EP019|Tentacool & Tentacruel]]''.

After Ash returned to [[Pallet Town]] following the [[Indigo League]], Ash encountered an old enemy. The {{p|Spearow}} Ash had tried to catch [[EP001|the first day of his journey]] had evolved into {{p|Fearow}} and was leading other wild Spearow in harassing the local {{p|Pidgey}} flock. After being injured trying to lead the wild Pidgey to safety, Pidgeotto [[Evolution|evolved]] into Pidgeot and lead the other {{p|Pidgey}} and {{p|Pidgeotto}} to defeat Fearow, and Ash left it behind to guard the wild Pidgey. He promised to return for it after he was finished in the [[Orange Islands]], a sentiment that he still hoped he could do in ''[[EP131|Fighting Flyer with Fire]]''. However, Ash has yet to fulfill that promise, with its role as his Flying-type being filled by such new Pokémon as {{AP|Noctowl}}, {{AP|Swellow}} and {{AP|Staraptor}}.

==Trivia==
*Pidgeot debuted long before the episode in which it evolved. Since the first episode of the series, Ash is shown throwing a Poké Ball containing Pidgeot and battling a Fearow in the opening ''[[Aim to be a Pokémon Master]]''.
*Pidgeot is one of three Pokémon owned by a main character that evolved before being released in the same episode. The other Pokémon to do so were {{TP|Misty|Togetic}} and [[James's second Victreebel|Victreebel]]. Coincidentally, two of these three are dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} Pokémon.
*Pidgeot is one of a few Pokémon that was caught by Ash when it was in its second evolutionary form. The other Pokémon that he caught at this stage are {{AP|Noctowl}}, {{AP|Muk}}, and {{AP|Primeape}}. Of these, it is the only Pokémon capable of evolving further, as it eventually did.
*Pidgeot has since appeared in the tenth opening for the anime, [[Spurt!]]. However, it did not return in any episodes aired with the opening.
**Pidgeot also appeared in the ''[[Battle Frontier (dub)|Battle Frontier]]'' opening along with {{AP|Tyranitar|Larvitar}}. The other scenes with Ash's old Pokémon were not included.
* Among {{Ash}}'s {{t|Normal}}/{{type2|Flying}} Pokémon, Pidgeot is the largest.

'''Pidgeot''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ピジョット''' ''Pigeot'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pidgeotto}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Pidgey}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Pidgeot bares striking resemblance to {{P|Pidgeotto}}; however, Pidgeot is noticeably larger than is pre-evolution. Its plumage tends to be larger and glossier. The feathers on its head-crest are nearly as long as its body, and are yellow and red. Its tail feathers are red colored. Like its previous evolutions, its underbelly is a tan color, and it has black markings around its eyes.
====Gender differences====
None.
====Special abilities====
Pidgeot is a powerful {{m|Fly|flier}}, capable of creating {{m|whirlwind}}s strong enough to bend trees. At maximum velocity it can reach {{m|Agility|speeds of Mach 2}}. It has {{a|keen Eye|keen eye}}s that allow it to see {{p|Magikarp}} from a distance of 3300 feet in the air.

===Behavior===
Pidgeot are normally calm and confident in their abilities. It has many powerful attacks, and beautiful plumage, making it a popular choice for skilled trainers.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Forest.gif|left|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]
Pidgeot typically dwell in forests with thick growth and large trees.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Pidgeot seems to primarily subsist on a diet of fish and {{type2|Water}} Pokémon which it fishes out of the water using its high speed and keen senses. However, like all Pokémon, it is also capable of surviving by eating apples and [[Berries]].

==In the anime==
[[Image:Ash, Friends, and Pidgeot.jpg|thumb|right|Ash's Pidgeot after evolving]]
===Major appearances===
In ''[[EP104|Bound for Trouble]]'', wild Pidgeot that were twice their normal size appeared. Their size was due to there being excessive quantities of food on one of the Orange Islands. One of these oversized Pidgeot snatches up {{MTR}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} when they got tethered together.

In ''[[DP013|A Staravia is Born!]]'', a wild Pidgeot helps {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|his friends}} to rescue some {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon from [[Team Rocket]].

====[[Ash's Pidgeot]]====
[[Ash Ketchum]] had a Pidgeot that he captured as a {{p|Pidgeotto}} early in his journey during ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]''. In ''[[EP081|Pallet Party Panic!]]'', the same {{p|Spearow}} Ash had thrown a rock at in [[EP001|the first episode]] returned with its flock, but it had evolved into a {{p|Fearow}}. The flock attacked Ash, so Pidgeotto evolved into Pidegot to battle Fearow. After Pidgeot defeated Fearow, Pidgeot left Ash's party to watch over a local flock of Pidgey and Pidgeotto. Ash promised to return for it someday, but so far he has not kept that promise.

[[Image:FightingFlyerwithFire.jpg|thumb|right|Falkner riding on his Pidgeot]]
====[[Falkner's Pidgeot]]====
[[Falkner]] of the [[Violet City]] [[Gym]] owns a Pidgeot. He uses it in his gym battle against Ash.

====Other====
A Pidgeot belonging to [[Rudy]] appeared in ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]''.

A Pidgeot was owned by [[Sir Aaron]] in ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''. Also, {{p|Mew}} transformed into a Pidgeot in the movie.

One is also owned by the {{pkmn|coordinator}} [[Solidad]].

===Minor appearances===
In ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', a Pidgeot owned by [[Corey]] was one of the Pokémon captured and cloned by {{p|Mewtwo}}. It was referred to as a Pidgeotto due to a dubbing error. The Pidgeot clone was seen again in ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''.

In ''[[EP274|Hoenn Alone]]'', an [[Officer Jenny]] used a Pidgeot to help locate [[Ash's Pikachu]] after it was stolen by [[Team Rocket]].

A Pidgeot is used in the [[PokéRinger]] Contest.

==Trivia==
*Pidgeot originally had an extra "t" in its name, but it was dropped.
*There is an error on Pidgeot's [[Generation II]] and [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby/Sapphire]]/{{v2|Emerald}} backsprites. Its crest is shorter than it is on the front sprite.
*It is one of the few Pokémon whose {{shiny2}} sprites changed colors; in Generation II, Pidgeot's shiny was all green with peach tail/feathers, in Generation III the whole body changed to gold.
* In [[Generation II]], Pidgeot's tail was shown to have two colors, pink and white. In the official art and the anime, however, it was completely pink. It was changed back to pink in [[Generation III]].
* Pidgeot has two correct pronunciations. Pidg-ee-ot, and Pi-git. Both have been used interchangeably in the anime.
===Origin===
Despite its name, its appearance and behavior do not resemble a pigeon so much as that of a {{wp|bird of prey}}, particularly an {{wp|eagle}} or an {{wp|osprey}}.

====Name origin====
Its name may just be a variation of a ''{{wp|dove|pigeon}}'', but depending on how one pronounces it, the word ''[[wp:jet aircraft|jet]]'' may be incorporated into its name.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Tauboss - Combination of ''Taube'' (pigeon) and the loanword ''Boss''.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Roucarnage - From ''roucoule'' (coo) and English ''carnage''.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 피죤투 ''Pijontu''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 比雕 ''Bî Diao'' - Transliteration of the first part of its Japanese name, Pigeot. The last character, 雕, means {{wp|eagle}}.
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Hong Kong)]]: 大比鳥 ''Dái Bî Nîao'' - In relation to the name of its pre-evolved form, Pidgeotto, this name literally means 'big Pidgeotto'.

'''Pidgeot''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ピジョット''' ''Pigeot'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pidgeotto}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Pidgey}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Pidgeot bares striking resemblance to {{P|Pidgeotto}}; however, Pidgeot is noticeably larger than is pre-evolution. Its plumage tends to be larger and glossier. The feathers on its head-crest are nearly as long as its body, and are yellow and red. Its tail feathers are red colored. Like its previous evolutions, its underbelly is a tan color, and it has black markings around its eyes.
====Gender differences====
None.
====Special abilities====
Pidgeot is a powerful {{m|Fly|flier}}, capable of creating {{m|whirlwind}}s strong enough to bend trees. At maximum velocity it can reach {{m|Agility|speeds of Mach 2}}. It has {{a|keen Eye|keen eye}}s that allow it to see {{p|Magikarp}} from a distance of 3300 feet in the air.

===Behavior===
Pidgeot are normally calm and confident in their abilities. It has many powerful attacks, and beautiful plumage, making it a popular choice for skilled trainers.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Forest.gif|left|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]
Pidgeot typically dwell in forests with thick growth and large trees.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Pidgeot seems to primarily subsist on a diet of fish and {{type2|Water}} Pokémon which it fishes out of the water using its high speed and keen senses. However, like all Pokémon, it is also capable of surviving by eating apples and [[Berries]].

==In the anime==
[[Image:Ash, Friends, and Pidgeot.jpg|thumb|right|Ash's Pidgeot after evolving]]
===Major appearances===
In ''[[EP104|Bound for Trouble]]'', wild Pidgeot that were twice their normal size appeared. Their size was due to there being excessive quantities of food on one of the Orange Islands. One of these oversized Pidgeot snatches up {{MTR}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} when they got tethered together.

In ''[[DP013|A Staravia is Born!]]'', a wild Pidgeot helps {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|his friends}} to rescue some {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon from [[Team Rocket]].

====[[Ash's Pidgeot]]====
[[Ash Ketchum]] had a Pidgeot that he captured as a {{p|Pidgeotto}} early in his journey during ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]''. In ''[[EP081|Pallet Party Panic!]]'', the same {{p|Spearow}} Ash had thrown a rock at in [[EP001|the first episode]] returned with its flock, but it had evolved into a {{p|Fearow}}. The flock attacked Ash, so Pidgeotto evolved into Pidegot to battle Fearow. After Pidgeot defeated Fearow, Pidgeot left Ash's party to watch over a local flock of Pidgey and Pidgeotto. Ash promised to return for it someday, but so far he has not kept that promise.

[[Image:FightingFlyerwithFire.jpg|thumb|right|Falkner riding on his Pidgeot]]
====[[Falkner's Pidgeot]]====
[[Falkner]] of the [[Violet City]] [[Gym]] owns a Pidgeot. He uses it in his gym battle against Ash.

====Other====
A Pidgeot belonging to [[Rudy]] appeared in ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]''.

A Pidgeot was owned by [[Sir Aaron]] in ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''. Also, {{p|Mew}} transformed into a Pidgeot in the movie.

One is also owned by the {{pkmn|coordinator}} [[Solidad]].

===Minor appearances===
In ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', a Pidgeot owned by [[Corey]] was one of the Pokémon captured and cloned by {{p|Mewtwo}}. It was referred to as a Pidgeotto due to a dubbing error. The Pidgeot clone was seen again in ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''.

In ''[[EP274|Hoenn Alone]]'', an [[Officer Jenny]] used a Pidgeot to help locate [[Ash's Pikachu]] after it was stolen by [[Team Rocket]].

A Pidgeot is used in the [[PokéRinger]] Contest.

Despite its name, its appearance and behavior do not resemble a pigeon so much as that of a {{wp|bird of prey}}, particularly an {{wp|eagle}} or an {{wp|osprey}}.

====Name origin====
Its name may just be a variation of a ''{{wp|dove|pigeon}}'', but depending on how one pronounces it, the word ''[[wp:jet aircraft|jet]]'' may be incorporated into its name.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Tauboss - Combination of ''Taube'' (pigeon) and the loanword ''Boss''.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Roucarnage - From ''roucoule'' (coo) and English ''carnage''.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 피죤투 ''Pijontu''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 比雕 ''Bî Diao'' - Transliteration of the first part of its Japanese name, Pigeot. The last character, 雕, means {{wp|eagle}}.
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Hong Kong)]]: 大比鳥 ''Dái Bî Nîao'' - In relation to the name of its pre-evolved form, Pidgeotto, this name literally means 'big Pidgeotto'.

'''Ash's Pidgeot''' (Japanese: '''サトシのピジョット''' ''Satoshi's Pigeot'') was the third [[Pokémon]] obtained by [[Ash Ketchum]] during his travels through the [[Kanto]] region. Its voice actor as Pidgeotto and Pidgeot in both Japanese and English is 林原めぐみ ''[[Megumi Hayashibara]]''.

==History==
[[Image:Ash_and_Pigeotto.jpg|thumb|left|As a Pidgeotto, with Ash]]Ash caught Pidgeot as a {{p|Pidgeotto}} in the [[Viridian Forest]]. It was Ash's first {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon, but it was not used much; when it was, it was often to blow away {{m|SmokeScreen}}s, pop holes in [[Team Rocket]]'s balloon, or scout around to find the way to their next destination. Despite this, it took part in many Kanto gym battles. It fought at the {{gy|Pewter}} and [[Fuchsia Gym]]s, won an important victory by defeating a {{p|Rhydon}} in Ash's battle for the {{Badge|Earth}}, battled [[Misty's Starmie]] when Ash competed against her for the {{Badge|Cascade}}, and also carried {{AP|Pikachu}} into battle against the giant {{p|Tentacruel}} in ''[[EP019|Tentacool & Tentacruel]]''.

After Ash returned to [[Pallet Town]] following the [[Indigo League]], Ash encountered an old enemy. The {{p|Spearow}} Ash had tried to catch [[EP001|the first day of his journey]] had evolved into {{p|Fearow}} and was leading other wild Spearow in harassing the local {{p|Pidgey}} flock. After being injured trying to lead the wild Pidgey to safety, Pidgeotto [[Evolution|evolved]] into Pidgeot and lead the other {{p|Pidgey}} and {{p|Pidgeotto}} to defeat Fearow, and Ash left it behind to guard the wild Pidgey. He promised to return for it after he was finished in the [[Orange Islands]], a sentiment that he still hoped he could do in ''[[EP131|Fighting Flyer with Fire]]''. However, Ash has yet to fulfill that promise, with its role as his Flying-type being filled by such new Pokémon as {{AP|Noctowl}}, {{AP|Swellow}} and {{AP|Staraptor}}.

==Trivia==
*Pidgeot debuted long before the episode in which it evolved. Since the first episode of the series, Ash is shown throwing a Poké Ball containing Pidgeot and battling a Fearow in the opening ''[[Aim to be a Pokémon Master]]''.
*Pidgeot is one of three Pokémon owned by a main character that evolved before being released in the same episode. The other Pokémon to do so were {{TP|Misty|Togetic}} and [[James's second Victreebel|Victreebel]]. Coincidentally, two of these three are dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} Pokémon.
*Pidgeot is one of a few Pokémon that was caught by Ash when it was in its second evolutionary form. The other Pokémon that he caught at this stage are {{AP|Noctowl}}, {{AP|Muk}}, and {{AP|Primeape}}. Of these, it is the only Pokémon capable of evolving further, as it eventually did.
*Pidgeot has since appeared in the tenth opening for the anime, [[Spurt!]]. However, it did not return in any episodes aired with the opening.
**Pidgeot also appeared in the ''[[Battle Frontier (dub)|Battle Frontier]]'' opening along with {{AP|Tyranitar|Larvitar}}. The other scenes with Ash's old Pokémon were not included.
*Pidgeot is the largest {{type|Flying}} Pokemon [[Ash]] has ever owned

'''Piloswine''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イノムー''' ''Inomoo'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ice|Ground}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Swinub}} starting at [[level]] 33, and evolves into {{p|Mamoswine}} when leveled up while knowing {{m|AncientPower}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
[[Image:Dawn's Piloswine's eyes.jpg|[[Dawn's Piloswine]]'s eyes|right|thumb]]
Piloswine are big brown furry Pokémon that have an impressive hump on their backs, giving them a hunchbacked appearance. They also have two tusks which seem small, but can be pretty lethal. Its shaggy coat makes it unable to see. It checks surroundings with its sensitive nose instead.

In the 3-D Pokémon console games, as well as the anime, it is shown that Piloswine has two beady eyes in its head; however, these are usually covered up by tufts of fur.

====Gender differences====
A female Piloswine has shorter tusks than a male.

====Special abilities====

===Behavior===
Piloswine are strong, brave, and undeniably stubborn. Wild Piloswine jealously guard their herd's territory, driving off any creatures that trespass. Domesticated Piloswine are loyal to a fault. There are stories of Piloswine who refuse to go down no matter how hard a battle becomes in an attempt to live up to their trainer's expectations of them.
[[Image:Cave.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon}}]]
===Habitat===
Piloswine tend to inhabit cold places, such as icy caves, mountainous regions and frozen tundra.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Piloswine.png|thumb|right|210px|{{TP|Dawn|Piloswine}} in the anime]]
Piloswine made its animated debut in ''[[Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'' as one of the Pokémon captured in the Poacher's cage at the start of the film. Its appearance in the film was very brief, lasting barely a second.

[[Pryce's Piloswine]] first appeared in ''[[EP237|As Cold as Pryce]]''. [[Pryce]] thought that his Piloswine had abandoned him when he was a young [[Pokémon Trainer]] after the two of them got hit by a {{p|Magmar}}'s {{m|Fire Blast}} and thus became cold and bitter. When Pryce found his Piloswine in a cave and frozen solid with a Burn-Healing Herb, Pryce let go of his coldness. Pryce used his Piloswine in the [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} against {{Ash}} in the [[EP238|following episode]].

In ''[[Pichu Bros. in Party Panic]]'' during the chase between the [[Pichu Brothers]] and a {{p|Houndour}}, the Pichu Brothers disguised themselves as a Piloswine but the Houndour wasn't easily fooled and eventually dismantled the disguise, revealing the Pichu Brothers.

{{an|Dawn}}'s {{p|Swinub}} [[Evolution|evolved]] into a {{TP|Dawn|Piloswine}} in ''[[DP104|Sleepless in Pre-Battle]]''.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Sinnoh}}
{{Animedexbody|DP104|Piloswine|Dawn's Pokédex|Piloswine, the Swine Pokémon and the evolved form of {{p|Swinub}}. Piloswine's entire body is covered with fur which makes it hard to see, so it uses its nose to sense its environment instead.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Diamond & Pearl''|Sinnoh}}

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Special===
Piloswine appeared in {{PSV|9}} under the control of [[Keane]], who used its sheer power to devastate [[Ecruteak City]] with an {{m|Earthquake}}. However, {{Special|Silver}} defeated it easily with {{Special|Gold}}'s {{p|Politoed}}.

==Trivia==
* The only sprites showing Piloswine's mouth are in {{game|Crystal}}.
**These sprites are also the only ones that show its eyes.
* Prior to Generation IV, Piloswine can learn {{m|AncientPower}} by {{pkmn|breeding}} or by evolution of a [[Shadow Pokémon|Shadow]] {{p|Swinub}} caught in {{Pokémon XD}}. Despite this, it cannot evolve into {{p|Mamoswine}} in those generations because Mamoswine did not yet exist. This makes it and {{p|Lickitung}} the only Pokémon which could not evolve even if the criteria were met because their evolved forms were not yet created.
* Of all the [[Methods of evolution#Knowing a certain move|Pokémon that need to know a certain move to evolve]], Piloswine is the only one that has already evolved once.
** It is also the only one of the move-based evolutions that does not learn the required move at a specific level. However, AncientPower is in Piloswine's list of level up moves and thus can be recovered by [[Pastoria City]]'s [[move relearner]] in exchange for a [[Heart Scale]].
*Pryce's Piloswine was defeated by [[Ash's Pikachu]] with several {{m|Thunderbolt}}s with great effect,despite Piloswine being a {{type|Ground}}.
===Origin===
Piloswine's size/appearance seem to be based off a mix of a {{wp|yak}}, whose mountainous habitat echoes that of the Ice Path in Northern Johto, and a {{wp|boar}}.
====Name origin====
A combination of ''pilose'', meaning "covered in distinct hairs", and ''swine'' (pig). Its Japanese name may be a combination of 猪 ''inoshishi'', boar, and ぶうぶう ''bū bū'', an {{wp|onomatopoeia}} for oinking.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Keifel - From ''Keiler'' (boar) and ''Fell'' (fur). Possibly also from ''keifen'' (to nag or shriek).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Cochignon - From ''cochon'' (pig) and ''chignon'' (hair bun).

'''Piloswine''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イノムー''' ''Inomoo'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ice|Ground}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Swinub}} starting at [[level]] 33, and evolves into {{p|Mamoswine}} when leveled up while knowing {{m|AncientPower}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
[[Image:Dawn's Piloswine's eyes.jpg|[[Dawn's Piloswine]]'s eyes|right|thumb]]
Piloswine are big brown furry Pokémon that have an impressive hump on their backs, giving them a hunchbacked appearance. They also have two tusks which seem small, but can be pretty lethal. Its shaggy coat makes it unable to see. It checks surroundings with its sensitive nose instead.

In the 3-D Pokémon console games, as well as the anime, it is shown that Piloswine has two beady eyes in its head; however, these are usually covered up by tufts of fur.

====Gender differences====
A female Piloswine has shorter tusks than a male.

====Special abilities====

===Behavior===
Piloswine are strong, brave, and undeniably stubborn. Wild Piloswine jealously guard their herd's territory, driving off any creatures that trespass. Domesticated Piloswine are loyal to a fault. There are stories of Piloswine who refuse to go down no matter how hard a battle becomes in an attempt to live up to their trainer's expectations of them.
[[Image:Cave.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon}}]]
===Habitat===
Piloswine tend to inhabit cold places, such as icy caves, mountainous regions and frozen tundra.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Piloswine.png|thumb|right|210px|{{TP|Dawn|Piloswine}} in the anime]]
Piloswine made its animated debut in ''[[Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'' as one of the Pokémon captured in the Poacher's cage at the start of the film. Its appearance in the film was very brief, lasting barely a second.

[[Pryce's Piloswine]] first appeared in ''[[EP237|As Cold as Pryce]]''. [[Pryce]] thought that his Piloswine had abandoned him when he was a young [[Pokémon Trainer]] after the two of them got hit by a {{p|Magmar}}'s {{m|Fire Blast}} and thus became cold and bitter. When Pryce found his Piloswine in a cave and frozen solid with a Burn-Healing Herb, Pryce let go of his coldness. Pryce used his Piloswine in the [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} against {{Ash}} in the [[EP238|following episode]].

In ''[[Pichu Bros. in Party Panic]]'' during the chase between the [[Pichu Brothers]] and a {{p|Houndour}}, the Pichu Brothers disguised themselves as a Piloswine but the Houndour wasn't easily fooled and eventually dismantled the disguise, revealing the Pichu Brothers.

{{an|Dawn}}'s {{p|Swinub}} [[Evolution|evolved]] into a {{TP|Dawn|Piloswine}} in ''[[DP104|Sleepless in Pre-Battle]]''.

===Pokédex entries===

{{Animedexbody|DP104|Piloswine|Dawn's Pokédex|Piloswine, the Swine Pokémon and the evolved form of {{p|Swinub}}. Piloswine's entire body is covered with fur which makes it hard to see, so it uses its nose to sense its environment instead.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Diamond & Pearl''|Sinnoh}}

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Special===
Piloswine appeared in {{PSV|9}} under the control of [[Keane]], who used its sheer power to devastate [[Ecruteak City]] with an {{m|Earthquake}}. However, {{Special|Silver}} defeated it easily with {{Special|Gold}}'s {{p|Politoed}}.

==Trivia==
* The only sprites showing Piloswine's mouth are in {{game|Crystal}}.
**These sprites are also the only ones that show its eyes.
* Prior to Generation IV, Piloswine can learn {{m|AncientPower}} by {{pkmn|breeding}} or by evolution of a [[Shadow Pokémon|Shadow]] {{p|Swinub}} caught in {{Pokémon XD}}. Despite this, it cannot evolve into {{p|Mamoswine}} in those generations because Mamoswine did not yet exist. This makes it and {{p|Lickitung}} the only Pokémon which could not evolve even if the criteria were met because their evolved forms were not yet created.
* Of all the [[Methods of evolution#Knowing a certain move|Pokémon that need to know a certain move to evolve]], Piloswine is the only one that has already evolved once.
** It is also the only one of the move-based evolutions that does not learn the required move at a specific level. However, AncientPower is in Piloswine's list of level up moves and thus can be recovered by [[Pastoria City]]'s [[move relearner]] in exchange for a [[Heart Scale]].
*Pryce's Piloswine was defeated by {{Ash's Pikachu}} with several {{m|Thunderbolt}}s with great effect,despite Piloswine being a {{type|Ground}}.
===Origin===
Piloswine's size/appearance seem to be based off a mix of a {{wp|yak}}, whose mountainous habitat echoes that of the Ice Path in Northern Johto, and a {{wp|boar}}.
====Name origin====
A combination of ''pilose'', meaning "covered in distinct hairs", and ''swine'' (pig). Its Japanese name may be a combination of 猪 ''inoshishi'', boar, and ぶうぶう ''bū bū'', an {{wp|onomatopoeia}} for oinking.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Keifel - From ''Keiler'' (boar) and ''Fell'' (fur). Possibly also from ''keifen'' (to nag or shriek).

'''Piloswine''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イノムー''' ''Inomoo'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ice|Ground}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Swinub}} starting at [[level]] 33, and evolves into {{p|Mamoswine}} when leveled up while knowing {{m|AncientPower}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
[[Image:Dawn's Piloswine's eyes.jpg|[[Dawn's Piloswine]]'s eyes|right|thumb]]
Piloswine are big brown furry Pokémon that have an impressive hump on their backs, giving them a hunchbacked appearance. They also have two tusks which seem small, but can be pretty lethal. Its shaggy coat makes it unable to see. It checks surroundings with its sensitive nose instead.

In the 3-D Pokémon console games, as well as the anime, it is shown that Piloswine has two beady eyes in its head; however, these are usually covered up by tufts of fur.

====Gender differences====
A female Piloswine has shorter tusks than a male.

====Special abilities====

===Behavior===
Piloswine are strong, brave, and undeniably stubborn. Wild Piloswine jealously guard their herd's territory, driving off any creatures that trespass. Domesticated Piloswine are loyal to a fault. There are stories of Piloswine who refuse to go down no matter how hard a battle becomes in an attempt to live up to their trainer's expectations of them.

===Habitat===
Piloswine tend to inhabit cold places, such as icy caves, mountainous regions and frozen tundra.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Piloswine.png|thumb|right|210px|{{TP|Dawn|Piloswine}} in the anime]]
Piloswine made its animated debut in ''[[Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'' as one of the Pokémon captured in the Poacher's cage at the start of the film. Its appearance in the film was very brief, lasting barely a second.

[[Pryce's Piloswine]] first appeared in ''[[EP237|As Cold as Pryce]]''. [[Pryce]] thought that his Piloswine had abandoned him when he was a young [[Pokémon Trainer]] after the two of them got hit by a {{p|Magmar}}'s {{m|Fire Blast}} and thus became cold and bitter. When Pryce found his Piloswine in a cave and frozen solid with a Burn-Healing Herb, Pryce let go of his coldness. Pryce used his Piloswine in the [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} against {{Ash}} in the [[EP238|following episode]].

In ''[[Pichu Bros. in Party Panic]]'' during the chase between the [[Pichu Brothers]] and a {{p|Houndour}}, the Pichu Brothers disguised themselves as a Piloswine but the Houndour wasn't easily fooled and eventually dismantled the disguise, revealing the Pichu Brothers.

{{an|Dawn}}'s {{p|Swinub}} [[Evolution|evolved]] into a {{TP|Dawn|Piloswine}} in ''[[DP104|Sleepless in Pre-Battle]]''.

{{Animedexbody|DP104|Piloswine|Dawn's Pokédex|Piloswine, the Swine Pokémon and the evolved form of {{p|Swinub}}. Piloswine's entire body is covered with fur which makes it hard to see, so it uses its nose to sense its environment instead.}}

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Special===
Piloswine appeared in {{PSV|9}} under the control of [[Keane]], who used its sheer power to devastate [[Ecruteak City]] with an {{m|Earthquake}}. However, {{Special|Silver}} defeated it easily with {{Special|Gold}}'s {{p|Politoed}}.

==Trivia==
* The only sprites showing Piloswine's mouth are in {{game|Crystal}}.
**These sprites are also the only ones that show its eyes.
* Prior to Generation IV, Piloswine can learn {{m|AncientPower}} by {{pkmn|breeding}} or by evolution of a [[Shadow Pokémon|Shadow]] {{p|Swinub}} caught in {{Pokémon XD}}. Despite this, it cannot evolve into {{p|Mamoswine}} in those generations because Mamoswine did not yet exist. This makes it and {{p|Lickitung}} the only Pokémon which could not evolve even if the criteria were met because their evolved forms were not yet created.
* Of all the [[Methods of evolution#Knowing a certain move|Pokémon that need to know a certain move to evolve]], Piloswine is the only one that has already evolved once.
** It is also the only one of the move-based evolutions that does not learn the required move at a specific level. However, AncientPower is in Piloswine's list of level up moves and thus can be recovered by [[Pastoria City]]'s [[move relearner]] in exchange for a [[Heart Scale]].
*Pryce's Piloswine was defeated by {{Ash's Pikachu}} with several {{m|Thunderbolts}} with great effect,despite Piloswine being a {{type|Ground}}.
===Origin===
Piloswine's size/appearance seem to be based off a mix of a {{wp|yak}}, whose mountainous habitat echoes that of the Ice Path in Northern Johto, and a {{wp|boar}}.
====Name origin====
A combination of ''pilose'', meaning "covered in distinct hairs", and ''swine'' (pig). Its Japanese name may be a combination of 猪 ''inoshishi'', boar, and ぶうぶう ''bū bū'', an {{wp|onomatopoeia}} for oinking.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Keifel - From ''Keiler'' (boar) and ''Fell'' (fur). Possibly also from ''keifen'' (to nag or shriek).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Cochignon - From ''cochon'' (pig) and ''chignon'' (hair bun).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 메꾸리 ''Mekkuri''

Piloswine made its animated debut in ''[[Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'' as one of the Pokémon captured in the Poacher's cage at the start of the film. Its appearance in the film was very brief, lasting barely a second.

[[Pryce's Piloswine]] first appeared in ''[[EP237|As Cold as Pryce]]''. [[Pryce]] thought that his Piloswine had abandoned him when he was a young [[Pokémon Trainer]] after the two of them got hit by a {{p|Magmar}}'s {{m|Fire Blast}} and thus became cold and bitter. When Pryce found his Piloswine in a cave and frozen solid with a Burn-Healing Herb, Pryce let go of his coldness. Pryce used his Piloswine in the [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} against {{Ash}} in the [[EP238|following episode]].

In ''[[Pichu Bros. in Party Panic]]'' during the chase between the [[Pichu Brothers]] and a {{p|Houndour}}, the Pichu Brothers disguised themselves as a Piloswine but the Houndour wasn't easily fooled and eventually dismantled the disguise, revealing the Pichu Brothers.

{{an|Dawn}}'s {{p|Swinub}} [[Evolution|evolved]] into a {{TP|Dawn|Piloswine}} in ''[[DP104|Sleepless in Pre-Battle]]''.

===Pokémon Special===
Piloswine appeared in {{PSV|9}} under the control of [[Keane]], who used its sheer power to devastate [[Ecruteak City]] with an {{m|Earthquake}}. However, {{Special|Silver}} defeated it easily with {{Special|Gold}}'s {{p|Politoed}}.

==Trivia==
* The only sprites showing Piloswine's mouth are in {{game|Crystal}}.
**These sprites are also the only ones that show its eyes.
* Prior to Generation IV, Piloswine can learn {{m|AncientPower}} by {{pkmn|breeding}} or by evolution of a [[Shadow Pokémon|Shadow]] {{p|Swinub}} caught in {{Pokémon XD}}. Despite this, it cannot evolve into {{p|Mamoswine}} in those generations because Mamoswine did not yet exist. This makes it and {{p|Lickitung}} the only Pokémon which could not evolve even if the criteria were met because their evolved forms were not yet created.
* Of all the [[Methods of evolution#Knowing a certain move|Pokémon that need to know a certain move to evolve]], Piloswine is the only one that has already evolved once.
** It is also the only one of the move-based evolutions that does not learn the required move at a specific level. However, AncientPower is in Piloswine's list of level up moves and thus can be recovered by [[Pastoria City]]'s [[move relearner]] in exchange for a [[Heart Scale]].
*Pryce's Piloswine was defeated by {{Ash's Pikachu}} with several {{move|Thunderbolt}}s with great effect,despite Piloswine being a {{type|Ground}}.
===Origin===
Piloswine's size/appearance seem to be based off a mix of a {{wp|yak}}, whose mountainous habitat echoes that of the Ice Path in Northern Johto, and a {{wp|boar}}.
====Name origin====
A combination of ''pilose'', meaning "covered in distinct hairs", and ''swine'' (pig). Its Japanese name may be a combination of 猪 ''inoshishi'', boar, and ぶうぶう ''bū bū'', an {{wp|onomatopoeia}} for oinking.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Keifel - From ''Keiler'' (boar) and ''Fell'' (fur). Possibly also from ''keifen'' (to nag or shriek).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Cochignon - From ''cochon'' (pig) and ''chignon'' (hair bun).

'''Piloswine''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イノムー''' ''Inomoo'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ice|Ground}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Swinub}} starting at [[level]] 33, and evolves into {{p|Mamoswine}} when leveled up while knowing {{m|AncientPower}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
[[Image:Dawn's Piloswine's eyes.jpg|[[Dawn's Piloswine]]'s eyes|right|thumb]]
Piloswine are big brown furry Pokémon that have an impressive hump on their backs, giving them a hunchbacked appearance. They also have two tusks which seem small, but can be pretty lethal. Its shaggy coat makes it unable to see. It checks surroundings with its sensitive nose instead.

In the 3-D Pokémon console games, as well as the anime, it is shown that Piloswine has two beady eyes in its head; however, these are usually covered up by tufts of fur.

====Gender differences====
A female Piloswine has shorter tusks than a male.

====Special abilities====

===Behavior===
Piloswine are strong, brave, and undeniably stubborn. Wild Piloswine jealously guard their herd's territory, driving off any creatures that trespass. Domesticated Piloswine are loyal to a fault. There are stories of Piloswine who refuse to go down no matter how hard a battle becomes in an attempt to live up to their trainer's expectations of them.
[[Image:Cave.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon}}]]
===Habitat===
Piloswine tend to inhabit cold places, such as icy caves, mountainous regions and frozen tundra.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Piloswine.png|thumb|right|210px|{{TP|Dawn|Piloswine}} in the anime]]
Piloswine made its animated debut in ''[[Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'' as one of the Pokémon captured in the Poacher's cage at the start of the film. Its appearance in the film was very brief, lasting barely a second.

[[Pryce's Piloswine]] first appeared in ''[[EP237|As Cold as Pryce]]''. [[Pryce]] thought that his Piloswine had abandoned him when he was a young [[Pokémon Trainer]] after the two of them got hit by a {{p|Magmar}}'s {{m|Fire Blast}} and thus became cold and bitter. When Pryce found his Piloswine in a cave and frozen solid with a Burn-Healing Herb, Pryce let go of his coldness. Pryce used his Piloswine in the [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} against {{Ash}} in the [[EP238|following episode]].

In ''[[Pichu Bros. in Party Panic]]'' during the chase between the [[Pichu Brothers]] and a {{p|Houndour}}, the Pichu Brothers disguised themselves as a Piloswine but the Houndour wasn't easily fooled and eventually dismantled the disguise, revealing the Pichu Brothers.

{{an|Dawn}}'s {{p|Swinub}} [[Evolution|evolved]] into a {{TP|Dawn|Piloswine}} in ''[[DP104|Sleepless in Pre-Battle]]''.

==Trivia==
* The only sprites showing Piloswine's mouth are in {{game|Crystal}}.
**These sprites are also the only ones that show its eyes.
* Prior to Generation IV, Piloswine can learn {{m|AncientPower}} by {{pkmn|breeding}} or by evolution of a [[Shadow Pokémon|Shadow]] {{p|Swinub}} caught in {{Pokémon XD}}. Despite this, it cannot evolve into {{p|Mamoswine}} in those generations because Mamoswine did not yet exist. This makes it and {{p|Lickitung}} the only Pokémon which could not evolve even if the criteria were met because their evolved forms were not yet created.
* Of all the [[Methods of evolution#Knowing a certain move|Pokémon that need to know a certain move to evolve]], Piloswine is the only one that has already evolved once.
** It is also the only one of the move-based evolutions that does not learn the required move at a specific level. However, AncientPower is in Piloswine's list of level up moves and thus can be recovered by [[Pastoria City]]'s [[move relearner]] in exchange for a [[Heart Scale]].
*Pryce's Piloswine was defeated by {{p|Ash's Pikachu}} with several {{move|Thunderbolts}} with great effect,despite Piloswine being a {{type|Ground}}.
===Origin===
Piloswine's size/appearance seem to be based off a mix of a {{wp|yak}}, whose mountainous habitat echoes that of the Ice Path in Northern Johto, and a {{wp|boar}}.
====Name origin====
A combination of ''pilose'', meaning "covered in distinct hairs", and ''swine'' (pig). Its Japanese name may be a combination of 猪 ''inoshishi'', boar, and ぶうぶう ''bū bū'', an {{wp|onomatopoeia}} for oinking.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Keifel - From ''Keiler'' (boar) and ''Fell'' (fur). Possibly also from ''keifen'' (to nag or shriek).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Cochignon - From ''cochon'' (pig) and ''chignon'' (hair bun).

'''Revenge''' (Japanese: '''リベンジ''' ''Revenge'') is a damage-dealing {{type2|Fighting}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation III]].

==Effect==
===Generation III===
Revenge deals damage. If the user takes damage in the same turn, Revenge's power is doubled to 120. Revenge is affected by the user's and target's {{Stat|speed}} stat and therefore the user must be slower than the target in order to take damage in the same turn or must be hit by an increased priority attack.

===[[Generation IV]]===
Revenge deals damage and is a decreased priority move, causing the user to attack after other Pokémon that are using ordinary priority moves. Otherwise, it is exactly the same as Generation III.

'''Vital Throw''' (Japanese: '''あてみなげ''' ''Strike Throw'') is a damage-dealing {{type2|Fighting}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation II]].

==Effect==
Vital Throw deals damage and is a decreased [[priority]] move, causing the user to attack after other Pokémon that are using ordinary priority moves. However, it will strike before Pokémon using other decreased priority moves such as {{m|Focus Punch}} and {{m|Avalanche}}. Vital Throw does not miss unless the target has just used {{m|Fly}}, {{m|Dig}}, {{m|Dive}}, or {{m|Bounce}}.

'''Torterra''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ドダイトス''' ''Dodaitose'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Ground}} [[Pokémon]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Grotle}} starting at [[level]] 32. It is the final form of {{p|Turtwig}}.

==Biology==
Torterra possess a giant, flat-looking shell that resembles those of the {{wp|ankylosauria|ankylosaurs}}. The rim of the shell is white and above their heads is a diamond-shaped extension of the rim. Torterra carry on their shells an enormous tree with soil nearby and three mountain peaks on its back, giving the impression that one is looking at a landscape from a distance. Their bodies are bulky and seem to be too big for their shells. Their bulk no longer allows them to {{m|Withdraw|withdraw into their shells}} as easily as they could as Turtwig, though it gives a sufficient amount of protection from foes. Their main body colors are a dull green on their backs and heads with a brown underbelly and legs. Torterra have several vertical lines running across their backs, though they have fewer lines going across their bellies. They bear two large spikes that jut out of the sides of their heads, making it look somewhat like an Ankylosaurs. Torterra's eyes are intimidating, encircled by a black ring and bearing small red pupils. Their mouth is jagged and at the end of their snout is a dark brown beak, giving them the appearance of a snapping turtle. Their thick, tree trunk-like legs are massive and powerful in order to hold up their enormous, heavy bodies. They bear three toes on each of their legs and appear as if they are actually jagged stones.

Their shell is the basis of their classification as the Continent Pokémon, befitting not only for their shell's appearance, but also for the size of Torterra's actual body. Despite their great size, these Pokémon are peaceful in nature and enjoy being with others of their own kind, preferring to bask in sunlight as they do not like to fight. When immobile, they look as if they are part of the ground upon which they rest, not as though they were a sleeping Pokémon. Because of this appearance, there are occasions when small Pokémon will gather and {{wp|commensalism|build nests on the shell}} of a stationary Torterra, who don't seem to notice or mind. When Torterra do move, they often move in herds in search of water. These herds give the impression of a moving forest. Torterra is the heaviest of all the final evolved starters, and the second tallest, coming in only behind {{p|Feraligatr}}.

===Physiology===
Upon evolution, the two bushes on Grotle's back turn into a single, small, bonsai-like tree. What appears to be three miniature mountains have also grown on its back.
====Gender differences====
None.
====Special abilities====
Torterra has the ability {{a|Overgrow}}, causing its {{type2|Grass}} attacks to become stronger when it has taken a lot of damage.

===Behavior===
Torterra is a Pokémon that tends to be nonviolent. Calm and collected, Torterra will tolerate many things, even Pokémon nests being built on its back.

===Habitat===
Torterra live in dense forests near freshwater lakes.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Due to their docile nature, Torterra are likely herbivores.

==In the anime==

==Trivia==
* Torterra shares the same [[species]] type with {{p|Groudon}}; both of them are known as the Continent Pokémon.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Torterra.
* Torterra has the highest base {{Stat|Defense}} of all the final stages of the Starter Pokémon.
* Torterra has the lowest {{Stat|Speed}} of all the final evolutions of the starters.
* Of the final forms of the [[Generation IV]] starter Pokémon, Torterra is the only one with a double weakness, taking 4X damage from {{type2|Ice}} attacks.
*Torterra has the lowest base stat total among all final evolutions of the Starter Pokemon. It shares this trait with the other {{type2|Grass}} starters except {{p|Sceptile}}.
* When walking to the right in [[Amity Square]], Torterra's sprite shows the left side of Torterra, the opposite of how it should appear.

===Origin===
Torterra has aspects of a {{wp|snapping turtle}} and an {{wp|ankylosaurus}}, a species of armored dinosaur. It may also be based upon the {{wp|Akupara|world turtles}} in various mythologies that carry worlds upon their backs, or perhaps the {{wp|Black_Tortoise|Xuanwu/Genbu}} of various Asian myths. The head and legs make it resemblant to a Home's Hingeback Tortoise, a reptile that lives in Central African rainforest.
====Name origin====
Its name comes from ''tortoise'' and ''terra'', which is Latin for "ground". The ''-terra'' may also refer to {{wp|terrapin}}s. Its Japanese name may come from 土 ''do'', earth or ground, 大 ''dai'', large, and ''tortoise''. 土台 ''Dodai'' also means {{wp|Foundation (engineering)|foundation}}.

'''Torterra''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ドダイトス''' ''Dodaitose'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Ground}} [[Pokémon]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Grotle}} starting at [[level]] 32. It is the final form of {{p|Turtwig}}.

==Biology==
Torterra possess a giant, flat-looking shell that resembles those of the {{wp|ankylosauria|ankylosaurs}}. The rim of the shell is white and above their heads is a diamond-shaped extension of the rim. Torterra carry on their shells an enormous tree with soil nearby and three mountain peaks on its back, giving the impression that one is looking at a landscape from a distance. Their bodies are bulky and seem to be too big for their shells. Their bulk no longer allows them to {{m|Withdraw|withdraw into their shells}} as easily as they could as Turtwig, though it gives a sufficient amount of protection from foes. Their main body colors are a dull green on their backs and heads with a brown underbelly and legs. Torterra have several vertical lines running across their backs, though they have fewer lines going across their bellies. They bear two large spikes that jut out of the sides of their heads, making it look somewhat like an Ankylosaurs. Torterra's eyes are intimidating, encircled by a black ring and bearing small red pupils. Their mouth is jagged and at the end of their snout is a dark brown beak, giving them the appearance of a snapping turtle. Their thick, tree trunk-like legs are massive and powerful in order to hold up their enormous, heavy bodies. They bear three toes on each of their legs and appear as if they are actually jagged stones.

Their shell is the basis of their classification as the Continent Pokémon, befitting not only for their shell's appearance, but also for the size of Torterra's actual body. Despite their great size, these Pokémon are peaceful in nature and enjoy being with others of their own kind, preferring to bask in sunlight as they do not like to fight. When immobile, they look as if they are part of the ground upon which they rest, not as though they were a sleeping Pokémon. Because of this appearance, there are occasions when small Pokémon will gather and {{wp|commensalism|build nests on the shell}} of a stationary Torterra, who don't seem to notice or mind. When Torterra do move, they often move in herds in search of water. These herds give the impression of a moving forest. Torterra is the heaviest of all the final evolved starters, and the second tallest, coming in only behind {{p|Feraligatr}}.

===Physiology===

==Trivia==
* Torterra shares the same [[species]] type with {{p|Groudon}}; both of them are known as the Continent Pokémon.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Torterra.
* Torterra has the highest base {{Stat|Defense}} of all the final stages of the Starter Pokémon.
* Torterra has the lowest {{Stat|Speed}} of all the final evolutions of the starters.
* Of the final forms of the [[Generation IV]] starter Pokémon, Torterra is the only one with a double weakness, taking 4X damage from {{type2|Ice}} attacks.
*Torterra has the lowest base stat total among all starter Pokemon. It shares this trait with the other {{type2|Grass}} starters except {{p|Sceptile}}.
* When walking to the right in [[Amity Square]], Torterra's sprite shows the left side of Torterra, the opposite of how it should appear.

===Origin===
Torterra has aspects of a {{wp|snapping turtle}} and an {{wp|ankylosaurus}}, a species of armored dinosaur. It may also be based upon the {{wp|Akupara|world turtles}} in various mythologies that carry worlds upon their backs, or perhaps the {{wp|Black_Tortoise|Xuanwu/Genbu}} of various Asian myths. The head and legs make it resemblant to a Home's Hingeback Tortoise, a reptile that lives in Central African rainforest.
====Name origin====
Its name comes from ''tortoise'' and ''terra'', which is Latin for "ground". The ''-terra'' may also refer to {{wp|terrapin}}s. Its Japanese name may come from 土 ''do'', earth or ground, 大 ''dai'', large, and ''tortoise''. 土台 ''Dodai'' also means {{wp|Foundation (engineering)|foundation}}.

'''Torterra''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ドダイトス''' ''Dodaitose'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Ground}} [[Pokémon]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Grotle}} starting at [[level]] 32. It is the final form of {{p|Turtwig}}.

==Biology==
Torterra possess a giant, flat-looking shell that resembles those of the {{wp|ankylosauria|ankylosaurs}}. The rim of the shell is white and above their heads is a diamond-shaped extension of the rim. Torterra carry on their shells an enormous tree with soil nearby and three mountain peaks on its back, giving the impression that one is looking at a landscape from a distance. Their bodies are bulky and seem to be too big for their shells. Their bulk no longer allows them to {{m|Withdraw|withdraw into their shells}} as easily as they could as Turtwig, though it gives a sufficient amount of protection from foes. Their main body colors are a dull green on their backs and heads with a brown underbelly and legs. Torterra have several vertical lines running across their backs, though they have fewer lines going across their bellies. They bear two large spikes that jut out of the sides of their heads, making it look somewhat like an Ankylosaurs. Torterra's eyes are intimidating, encircled by a black ring and bearing small red pupils. Their mouth is jagged and at the end of their snout is a dark brown beak, giving them the appearance of a snapping turtle. Their thick, tree trunk-like legs are massive and powerful in order to hold up their enormous, heavy bodies. They bear three toes on each of their legs and appear as if they are actually jagged stones.

Their shell is the basis of their classification as the Continent Pokémon, befitting not only for their shell's appearance, but also for the size of Torterra's actual body. Despite their great size, these Pokémon are peaceful in nature and enjoy being with others of their own kind, preferring to bask in sunlight as they do not like to fight. When immobile, they look as if they are part of the ground upon which they rest, not as though they were a sleeping Pokémon. Because of this appearance, there are occasions when small Pokémon will gather and {{wp|commensalism|build nests on the shell}} of a stationary Torterra, who don't seem to notice or mind. When Torterra do move, they often move in herds in search of water. These herds give the impression of a moving forest. Torterra is the heaviest of all the final evolved starters, and the second tallest, coming in only behind {{p|Feraligatr}}.

===Physiology===
Upon evolution, the two bushes on Grotle's back turn into a single, small, bonsai-like tree. What appears to be three miniature mountains have also grown on its back.
====Gender differences====
None.
====Special abilities====
Torterra has the ability {{a|Overgrow}}, causing its {{type2|Grass}} attacks to become stronger when it has taken a lot of damage.

===Behavior===
Torterra is a Pokémon that tends to be nonviolent. Calm and collected, Torterra will tolerate many things, even Pokémon nests being built on its back.

===Habitat===
Torterra live in dense forests near freshwater lakes.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Due to their docile nature, Torterra are likely herbivores.

==In the anime==
[[Image:MauriceTorterra.jpg|right|250px|thumb|[[Maury]] and his Torterra]]
Torterra's first movie appearance was in ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]'' belonging to a {{pkmn|Trainer}} named [[Maury]]. It battled against [[Ash's Pikachu]].

Torterra's debut appearance in the anime was in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training]]'', where it was revealed to be [[Paul]]'s [[starter Pokémon]]. It later helped [[Ash's Grotle]] cope with its reduced {{stat|Speed}} in ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy]]''.

==Trivia==
* Torterra shares the same [[species]] type with {{p|Groudon}}; both of them are known as the Continent Pokémon.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Torterra.
* Torterra has the highest base {{Stat|Defense}} of all the final stages of the Starter Pokémon.

* Of the final forms of the [[Generation IV]] starter Pokémon, Torterra is the only one with a double weakness, taking 4X damage from {{type2|Ice}} attacks.
*Torterra has the lowest base stat total among all starter Pokemon. It shares this trait with the other {{type2|Grass}} starters except Sceptile.
* When walking to the right in [[Amity Square]], Torterra's sprite shows the left side of Torterra, the opposite of how it should appear.

===Origin===
Torterra has aspects of a {{wp|snapping turtle}} and an {{wp|ankylosaurus}}, a species of armored dinosaur. It may also be based upon the {{wp|Akupara|world turtles}} in various mythologies that carry worlds upon their backs, or perhaps the {{wp|Black_Tortoise|Xuanwu/Genbu}} of various Asian myths. The head and legs make it resemblant to a Home's Hingeback Tortoise, a reptile that lives in Central African rainforest.
====Name origin====
Its name comes from ''tortoise'' and ''terra'', which is Latin for "ground". The ''-terra'' may also refer to {{wp|terrapin}}s. Its Japanese name may come from 土 ''do'', earth or ground, 大 ''dai'', large, and ''tortoise''. 土台 ''Dodai'' also means {{wp|Foundation (engineering)|foundation}}.

'''Torterra''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ドダイトス''' ''Dodaitose'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Ground}} [[Pokémon]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Grotle}} starting at [[level]] 32. It is the final form of {{p|Turtwig}}.

==Biology==
Torterra possess a giant, flat-looking shell that resembles those of the {{wp|ankylosauria|ankylosaurs}}. The rim of the shell is white and above their heads is a diamond-shaped extension of the rim. Torterra carry on their shells an enormous tree with soil nearby and three mountain peaks on its back, giving the impression that one is looking at a landscape from a distance. Their bodies are bulky and seem to be too big for their shells. Their bulk no longer allows them to {{m|Withdraw|withdraw into their shells}} as easily as they could as Turtwig, though it gives a sufficient amount of protection from foes. Their main body colors are a dull green on their backs and heads with a brown underbelly and legs. Torterra have several vertical lines running across their backs, though they have fewer lines going across their bellies. They bear two large spikes that jut out of the sides of their heads, making it look somewhat like an Ankylosaurs. Torterra's eyes are intimidating, encircled by a black ring and bearing small red pupils. Their mouth is jagged and at the end of their snout is a dark brown beak, giving them the appearance of a snapping turtle. Their thick, tree trunk-like legs are massive and powerful in order to hold up their enormous, heavy bodies. They bear three toes on each of their legs and appear as if they are actually jagged stones.

Their shell is the basis of their classification as the Continent Pokémon, befitting not only for their shell's appearance, but also for the size of Torterra's actual body. Despite their great size, these Pokémon are peaceful in nature and enjoy being with others of their own kind, preferring to bask in sunlight as they do not like to fight. When immobile, they look as if they are part of the ground upon which they rest, not as though they were a sleeping Pokémon. Because of this appearance, there are occasions when small Pokémon will gather and {{wp|commensalism|build nests on the shell}} of a stationary Torterra, who don't seem to notice or mind. When Torterra do move, they often move in herds in search of water. These herds give the impression of a moving forest. Torterra is the heaviest of all the final evolved starters, and the second tallest, coming in only behind {{p|Feraligatr}}.

===Physiology===
Upon evolution, the two bushes on Grotle's back turn into a single, small, bonsai-like tree. What appears to be three miniature mountains have also grown on its back.
====Gender differences====
None.
====Special abilities====
Torterra has the ability {{a|Overgrow}}, causing its {{type2|Grass}} attacks to become stronger when it has taken a lot of damage.

===Behavior===
Torterra is a Pokémon that tends to be nonviolent. Calm and collected, Torterra will tolerate many things, even Pokémon nests being built on its back.

===Habitat===
Torterra live in dense forests near freshwater lakes.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Due to their docile nature, Torterra are likely herbivores.

==In the anime==
[[Image:MauriceTorterra.jpg|right|250px|thumb|[[Maury]] and his Torterra]]
Torterra's first movie appearance was in ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]'' belonging to a {{pkmn|Trainer}} named [[Maury]]. It battled against [[Ash's Pikachu]].

Torterra's debut appearance in the anime was in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training]]'', where it was revealed to be [[Paul]]'s [[starter Pokémon]]. It later helped [[Ash's Grotle]] cope with its reduced {{stat|Speed}} in ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy]]''.

===Origin===
Torterra has aspects of a {{wp|snapping turtle}} and an {{wp|ankylosaurus}}, a species of armored dinosaur. It may also be based upon the {{wp|Akupara|world turtles}} in various mythologies that carry worlds upon their backs, or perhaps the {{wp|Black_Tortoise|Xuanwu/Genbu}} of various Asian myths. The head and legs make it resemblant to a Home's Hingeback Tortoise, a reptile that lives in Central African rainforest.
====Name origin====
Its name comes from ''tortoise'' and ''terra'', which is Latin for "ground". The ''-terra'' may also refer to {{wp|terrapin}}s. Its Japanese name may come from 土 ''do'', earth or ground, 大 ''dai'', large, and ''tortoise''. 土台 ''Dodai'' also means {{wp|Foundation (engineering)|foundation}}.

'''Rhyperior''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ドサイドン''' ''Dosidon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Rock}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Rhydon}} via [[Trade#Pokémon which evolve when traded|trade]] with [[Protector]]. It is the final form of {{p|Rhyhorn}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Rhyperior has basically the same build as its predecessor, Rhydon, although it is taller and heavier. Rhyperior has a club-like tail and its hide is partially covered by orange, rocky plates. Rhyperior has blade-like protrusions on its elbows and has holes in the palms of its hands. Rhyperior's body is a brownish-gray as opposed to just regular gray. It also appears to have two thick, rectangular rocks above its eyes, resembling heavy eyebrows.
====Gender differences====
The upper horn on a female Rhyperior is smaller than a male's.

====Special abilities====
Rhyperior can insert rocks and boulders into its arms through holes in its hands and then fire them like bullets. However, it will occasionally insert and fire {{p|Geodude}} by accident. They are monstrously powerful and are massively difficult to take down without a {{t|Water}} or {{t|Grass}} move.

Rhyperior is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Rock Wrecker}}.

===Behavior===
===Habitat===
Rhyperior live far up in the mountains. Finding a wild one can be difficult.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:RhyperiorAnime.png|thumb|225px|Rhyperior in the anime]]
Rhyperior makes a short cameo appearance in the opening sequence of ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', under the command of {{ga|Brendan}}.

A Rhyperior will appear in [[DP141]] under the ownership of [[Palmer]].

==In the manga==
In the FireRed and LeafGreen series of [[Pokémon Special]], {{special|Green}} has a book on Ground-type Pokémon written by [[Giovanni]]. It mentions that Rhydon can evolve further through [[trade|trading]]. Green asks {{special|Silver}} if he could help figure it out because Pokémon trading is his specialty. Before this can be accomplished, they are turned to stone by [[Sird]]'s attack meant for Deoxys.

In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]], [[Saturn]] has a Rhyperior that he uses to battle [[Hareta]] at [[Lake Valor]].

==In the TCG==

*Rhyperior and Rhydon share the same [[species]] name as Nidoking and Nidoqueen. They are all known as Drill Pokémon.
*Rhyperior has the highest Attack among all non-legendary {{type|Ground}} and {{type|Rock}} Pokemon
===Origin===
It appears to draw much of its inspiration from a {{wp|rhinoceros}}, aspects of various {{wp|dinosaur}}s (such as the {{wp|triceratops}}) and a {{wp|tank}}. It also may have been inspired by {{wp|Anguirus}}, considering the nose horn and the spikes on their back. It may also have connections with an {{wp|Ankylosaurus}}, hence the clubbed tail and many defensive plates.
====Name origin====
Dosydon's name is deceptively complex. The ''Do'' part that is at the beginning may be from the word 土 ''do'', which is Japanese for ''ground/soil'', or 怒 ''do'', which means ''anger'', or ど ''do'', the Japanese prefix that makes a noun sound stronger; サイ ''sai,'' Japanese for rhinoceros; and ''don,'' a Greek word meaning tooth, commonly used in the names of dinosaurs.

Rhyperior comes from the "Rhy" of its pre-evolutions and "superior", because it is much more powerful than its pre-evolutions.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Rihornior - From ''Rihorn'' (Rhyhorn's German name) + Latin ending for comparatives "ior" (more)
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Rhinastoc - From ''Rhinocéros'' (rhinoceros) and ''Astoc'', a word that designs a "critical hit" or a powerful hit with a sword.

'''Rhyperior''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ドサイドン''' ''Dosidon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Rock}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Rhydon}} via [[Trade#Pokémon which evolve when traded|trade]] with [[Protector]]. It is the final form of {{p|Rhyhorn}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Rhyperior has basically the same build as its predecessor, Rhydon, although it is taller and heavier. Rhyperior has a club-like tail and its hide is partially covered by orange, rocky plates. Rhyperior has blade-like protrusions on its elbows and has holes in the palms of its hands. Rhyperior's body is a brownish-gray as opposed to just regular gray. It also appears to have two thick, rectangular rocks above its eyes, resembling heavy eyebrows.
====Gender differences====
The upper horn on a female Rhyperior is smaller than a male's.

====Special abilities====
Rhyperior can insert rocks and boulders into its arms through holes in its hands and then fire them like bullets. However, it will occasionally insert and fire {{p|Geodude}} by accident. They are monstrously powerful and are massively difficult to take down without a {{t|Water}} or {{t|Grass}} move.

Rhyperior is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Rock Wrecker}}.

===Behavior===
===Habitat===

Rhyperior makes a short cameo appearance in the opening sequence of ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', under the command of {{ga|Brendan}}.

A Rhyperior will appear in [[DP141]] under the ownership of [[Palmer]].

==In the manga==
In the FireRed and LeafGreen series of [[Pokémon Special]], {{special|Green}} has a book on Ground-type Pokémon written by [[Giovanni]]. It mentions that Rhydon can evolve further through [[trade|trading]]. Green asks {{special|Silver}} if he could help figure it out because Pokémon trading is his specialty. Before this can be accomplished, they are turned to stone by [[Sird]]'s attack meant for Deoxys.

In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]], [[Saturn]] has a Rhyperior that he uses to battle [[Hareta]] at [[Lake Valor]].

==Trivia==
*{{p|Rhydon}}'s {{stat|Speed}} does not increase when it [[evolution|evolves]] into Rhyperior.
*Rhyperior is the only [[Generation IV]] Pokémon to learn {{m|Horn Drill}}.
*The arms of this Pokémon bear resemblance to a {{p|Beldum}}'s body.
*Rhyperior and Rhydon share the same [[species]] name as Nidoking and Nidoqueen. They are all known as Drill Pokémon.
*Rhyperior has the highest Attack aming all non-legendary {type|Ground}} and {{type|Rock}}
===Origin===
It appears to draw much of its inspiration from a {{wp|rhinoceros}}, aspects of various {{wp|dinosaur}}s (such as the {{wp|triceratops}}) and a {{wp|tank}}. It also may have been inspired by {{wp|Anguirus}}, considering the nose horn and the spikes on their back. It may also have connections with an {{wp|Ankylosaurus}}, hence the clubbed tail and many defensive plates.
====Name origin====
Dosydon's name is deceptively complex. The ''Do'' part that is at the beginning may be from the word 土 ''do'', which is Japanese for ''ground/soil'', or 怒 ''do'', which means ''anger'', or ど ''do'', the Japanese prefix that makes a noun sound stronger; サイ ''sai,'' Japanese for rhinoceros; and ''don,'' a Greek word meaning tooth, commonly used in the names of dinosaurs.

Rhyperior comes from the "Rhy" of its pre-evolutions and "superior", because it is much more powerful than its pre-evolutions.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Rihornior - From ''Rihorn'' (Rhyhorn's German name) + Latin ending for comparatives "ior" (more)
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Rhinastoc - From ''Rhinocéros'' (rhinoceros) and ''Astoc'', a word that designs a "critical hit" or a powerful hit with a sword.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 거대코뿌리 ''Geodaekoppuri''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese]]: 大地犀牛 ''Da Di Xi Niu''

Rhyperior has blade-like protrusions on its elbows and has holes in the palms of its hands. Rhyperior's body is a brownish-gray as opposed to just regular gray.

====Gender differences====
The upper horn on a female Rhyperior is smaller than a male's.

====Special abilities====
Rhyperior can insert rocks and boulders into its arms through holes in its hands and then fire them like bullets. However, it will occasionally insert and fire {{p|Geodude}} by accident.

==Trivia==
*{{p|Rhydon}}'s {{stat|Speed}} does not increase when it [[evolution|evolves]] into Rhyperior.
*Rhyperior is the only [[Generation IV]] Pokémon to learn {{m|Horn Drill}}.
*The arms of this Pokémon bear resemblance to a {{p|Beldum}}'s body.
*Rhyperior and Rhydon share the same [[species]] name as Nidoking and Nidoqueen. They are all known as Drill Pokémon.
===Origin===
It appears to draw much of its inspiration from a {{wp|rhinoceros}}, aspects of various {{wp|dinosaur}}s (such as the {{wp|triceratops}}) and a {{wp|tank}}. It also may have been inspired by {{wp|Anguirus}}, considering the nose horn and the spikes on their back. It may also have connections with an {{wp|Ankylosaurus}}, hence the clubbed tail and many defensive plates.
====Name origin====
Dosydon's name is deceptively complex. The ''Do'' part that is at the beginning may be from the word 土 ''do'', which is Japanese for ''ground/soil'', or 怒 ''do'', which means ''anger'', or ど ''do'', the Japanese prefix that makes a noun sound stronger; サイ ''sai,'' Japanese for rhinoceros; and ''don,'' a Greek word meaning tooth, commonly used in the names of dinosaurs.

Rhyperior comes from the "Rhy" of its pre-evolutions and "superior", because it is much more powerful than its pre-evolutions.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Rihornior - From ''Rihorn'' (Rhyhorn's German name) + Latin ending for comparatives "ior" (more)
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Rhinastoc - From ''Rhinocéros'' (rhinoceros) and ''Astoc'', a word that designs a "critical hit" or a powerful hit with a sword.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 거대코뿌리 ''Geodaekoppuri''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese]]: 大地犀牛 ''Da Di Xi Niu''

'''Rhyperior''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ドサイドン''' ''Dosidon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Rock}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Rhydon}} via [[Trade#Pokémon which evolve when traded|trade]] with [[Protector]]. It is the final form of {{p|Rhyhorn}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Rhyperior has basically the same build as its predecessor, Rhydon, although it is taller and heavier. Rhyperior has a club-like tail and its hide is partially covered by orange, rocky plates. Rhyperior has blade-like protrusions on its elbows and has holes in the palms of its hands. Rhyperior's body is a brownish-gray as opposed to just regular gray. It also appears to have two thick, rectangular rocks above its eyes, resembling heavy eyebrows.
====Gender differences====
The upper horn on a female Rhyperior is smaller than a male's.

====Special abilities====
Rhyperior can insert rocks and boulders into its arms through holes in its hands and then fire them like bullets. However, it will occasionally insert and fire {{p|Geodude}} by accident. They are monstrously powerful and are massively difficult to take down without a {{t|Water}} or {{t|Grass}} move.

Rhyperior is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Rock Wrecker}}.

===Behavior===
===Habitat===
Rhyperior live far up in the mountains. Finding a wild one can be difficult.

===Diet===

==In the anime==
[[Image:RhyperiorAnime.png|thumb|225px|Rhyperior in the anime]]
Rhyperior makes a short cameo appearance in the opening sequence of ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', under the command of {{ga|Brendan}}.

A Rhyperior will appear in [[DP141]] under the ownership of [[Palmer]].

==In the manga==
In the FireRed and LeafGreen series of [[Pokémon Special]], {{special|Green}} has a book on Ground-type Pokémon written by [[Giovanni]]. It mentions that Rhydon can evolve further through [[trade|trading]]. Green asks {{special|Silver}} if he could help figure it out because Pokémon trading is his specialty. Before this can be accomplished, they are turned to stone by [[Sird]]'s attack meant for Deoxys.

In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]], [[Saturn]] has a Rhyperior that he uses to battle [[Hareta]] at [[Lake Valor]].

==Trivia==
*{{p|Rhydon}}'s {{stat|Speed}} does not increase when it [[evolution|evolves]] into Rhyperior.
*Rhyperior is the only [[Generation IV]] Pokémon to learn {{m|Horn Drill}}.
*The arms of this Pokémon bear resemblance to a {{p|Beldum}}'s body
*Rhyperior and Rhydon share the same [[species]] name as Nidoking and Nidoqueen. They are all known as Drill Pokémon.
Rhyperior has the highest Attack among all non-legendary {{type|Ground}} and {{type|Rock}}
===Origin===
It appears to draw much of its inspiration from a {{wp|rhinoceros}}, aspects of various {{wp|dinosaur}}s (such as the {{wp|triceratops}}) and a {{wp|tank}}. It also may have been inspired by {{wp|Anguirus}}, considering the nose horn and the spikes on their back. It may also have connections with an {{wp|Ankylosaurus}}, hence the clubbed tail and many defensive plates.
====Name origin====
Dosydon's name is deceptively complex. The ''Do'' part that is at the beginning may be from the word 土 ''do'', which is Japanese for ''ground/soil'', or 怒 ''do'', which means ''anger'', or ど ''do'', the Japanese prefix that makes a noun sound stronger; サイ ''sai,'' Japanese for rhinoceros; and ''don,'' a Greek word meaning tooth, commonly used in the names of dinosaurs.

Rhyperior comes from the "Rhy" of its pre-evolutions and "superior", because it is much more powerful than its pre-evolutions.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Rihornior - From ''Rihorn'' (Rhyhorn's German name) + Latin ending for comparatives "ior" (more)
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Rhinastoc - From ''Rhinocéros'' (rhinoceros) and ''Astoc'', a word that designs a "critical hit" or a powerful hit with a sword.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 거대코뿌리 ''Geodaekoppuri''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese]]: 大地犀牛 ''Da Di Xi Niu''

'''Silcoon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カラサリス''' ''Karasalis'') is a {{type2|Bug}} [[Pokémon]].

It [[evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Wurmple}} starting at [[level]] 7, and it evolves into {{p|Beautifly}} starting at level 10.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Silcoon is simply a cocoon-like Pokémon with spikes covering it. It has two red eyes. It is very similar to {{p|Cascoon}}.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====

===Behavior===
Silcoon, being merely a cocoon, cannot do much more than quietly hang from a tree branch, waiting for the right conditions for [[evolution]]. It {{m|harden}}s frequently.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Forest.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Forest Pokémon|Forest Pokémon]]]]

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Silcoon nourishes itself by drinking rainwater that gets collected on its silk.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Silcoonime.jpg|thumb|left|Silcoon in the anime]]
In ''[[AG024|A Corphish out of Water]]'', May's Wurmple evolved into a Silcoon alongside Jessie's Wurmple which evolved into a {{p|Cascoon}}. Both promptly evolved into their current state in ''[[AG028|Seeing is Believing]]'', where Silcoon and Cascoon evolved into {{TP|May|Beautifly}} and {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}}, respectively.

'''Silcoon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カラサリス''' ''Karasalis'') is a {{type2|Bug}} [[Pokémon]].

It [[evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Wurmple}} starting at [[level]] 7, and it evolves into {{p|Beautifly}} starting at level 10.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Silcoon is simply a cocoon-like Pokémon with spikes covering it. It has two red eyes. It is very similar to {{p|Cascoon}}.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====

===Behavior===
Silcoon, being merely a cocoon, cannot do much more than quietly hang from a tree branch, waiting for the right conditions for [[evolution]]. It {{m|harden}}s frequently.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Forest.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Forest Pokémon|Forest Pokémon]]]]

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Silcoon nourishes itself by drinking rainwater that gets collected on its silk.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Silcoonime.jpg|thumb|left|Silcoon in the anime]]
In ''[[AG024|A Corphish out of Water]]'', May's Wurmple evolved into a Silcoon alongside Jessie's Wurmple which evolved into a {{p|Cascoon}}. Both promptly evolved into their current state in ''[[AG028|Seeing is Believing]]'', where Silcoon and Cascoon evolved into {{TP|May|Beautifly}} and {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}}, respectively.

'''Altaria''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''チルタリス''' ''Tyltalis'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Swablu}} starting at [[level]] 35.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Altaria resembles a large blue phoenix-like Pokémon with a long neck and white cheeks. The feathers of its body make it resemble a cumulus cloud and two long blue feathers extend from the back of its head. It wraps its two cloud-like wings around its body to keep itself warm.

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

====Special abilities====
Altaria carries a refined set of vocal chords that allow it to sing or hum in a beautiful soprano voice that causes its listeners to experience dreamy content.

It is possible that an Altaria may carry a flame sac within its body, similar to {{p|Torchic}}, which it uses to launch intensely hot fireballs from its mouth in self defense from attackers.

As of Generation IV, Altaria is one of three non-legendary Pokémon that can learn {{m|Sky Attack}} naturally, the other non-legendaries being {{P|Noctowl}} and {{P|Togekiss}}.

===Behavior===
In their secluded habitats, Altaria are known to sing and hum beautifully with their voices. Much of their behavior simply involves finding a draft on which to glide, high above many other Pokémon that can fly.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Forest.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]
Altaria seem to live in secluded areas far from human population such as mountainous regions (contrary to {{p|Swablu}} which live near human settlements) and even sometimes melodious singing, believed to be a singing Altaria, can be heard from far off mountains. Another example of its distance from humans is the fact that the only place where an Altaria can be caught in the wild is in the [[Sky Pillar]]. Some Altaria are shown to reside in [[Forina]] Valley, and many of them are also shown to reside within the [[Tree of Beginning]]. Both locations are also far from human population. During the winter, they migrate into caverns within mountains.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Winona's Altaria.png|right|thumb|Altaria in the anime]]
Altaria first appeared in ''[[Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. It was one of the Pokémon that lived in [[Forina]], {{p|Jirachi}}'s home.

There were some Altaria in the flock that an injured {{p|Swablu}} belonged to in ''[[AG064|True Blue Swablu]]''.

Altaria's first major role was in ''[[AG085|Sky High Gym Battle]]''. [[Ash's Sceptile|Ash's Grovyle]] battled against one in {{Ash}}'s gym battle against [[Winona]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Fortree Gym]].

An Altaria belonging to {{OBP|Drake|Elite Four}} of the [[Hoenn]] [[Elite Four]] appeared in ''[[AG101|Vanity Affair]]'' where it battled against [[Ash's Sceptile|Ash's Grovyle]].

Altaria had a cameo appearance in ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''. It could be seen in a flock with some Swablu.

Another flock of Altaria and Swablu was seen in ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys Crisis!]]'' The Altaria's sense of direction had gone haywire, so [[Solana]] captured one of them to put them back in order.

===Origin===
Altaria is based on a {{wp|bird}} of some variety mixed with {{wp|cotton}} or a {{wp|cloud}}.
====Name origin====
Altaria's name is a combination of the words ''{{wp|alto}}'', {{wp|Italian (language)|Italian}} for high, and ''{{wp|aria}}'', Italian for air, which both refer to this Pokémon's behavior of singing wonderful melodies. Its Japanese name may refer to {{wp|Epsilon Draconis|Tyl}}, also known as Epsilon Draconis, a star in the {{wp|Draco (constellation)|Draco constellation}}. Its English name may also refer to the star {{wp|Altair}}, the brightest star in the constellation {{wp|Aquila (constellation)|Aquila}}. The Al part of its name could possibly derive from Albatross.
