(Japanese: '''アカリ''' ''Akari'') is a middle-school student in the manga series [[How I Became a Pokémon Card]], who appeared in [[PW38]]. He is biologically female, but {{wp|Gender identity|self-identifies as male}}.

==Character==
When Akari was a child, he believed that he was male, in the belief that only males could be "cool" [[Pokémon Trainer]]s. Only he and his mother knew the truth until he entered middle school and was forced to wear a school uniform with a skirt.

==History==
When Akari was very young, he made a promise with his best friend, {{HIBAPC|Akira}}, that both of them would aim to become the "coolest" Pokémon Trainers ever. When Akira received a {{p|Scyther}} as a present for completing elementary school, Akari begged his mother to get him an equally cool Pokémon. His mother agreed once Akari promised her that he might act more "feminine" if he got his way, and said he would consider it a graduation gift, a birthday gift, and an early Christmas gift all in one.

On Akari's birthday, however, he received not the "cool" Pokémon he was hoping for, but rather a {{p|Pikachu}}. In a fit of anger, Akari stormed out of the house and into the woods, pursued by Akira and Pikachu. Akira scolded Akari for acting like neither a male or a female, but rather like "a pathetic human being". While they were arguing, the three were accosted by a group of {{p|Ariados}}, whose territory they had accidentally stumbled into. Pikachu proved its worth by single-handedly defeating the entire herd, and Akari, embracing Pikachu, finally accepted that the coolness of a Pokémon wasn't something objective.

'''Steven Stone''' (Japanese: '''ツワブキ・ダイゴ''' ''Daigo Tsuwabuki'') is a {{pkmn|Master}} {{type|Steel}} {{pkmn|Trainer}} and the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Hoenn]] region's [[Elite Four]] in [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]], [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire]]. He is a collector of rare stones, is the son of the [[Mr. Stone|president]] of the [[Devon Corporation]], and makes his home in [[Mossdeep City]]. In {{game|Emerald}}, he is no longer the Champion—due to [[Wallace]] taking his place—and instead wanders the Hoenn region, aiding the {{player}} on their journey.

==In the games==
[[File:Steven-rs.png|240px|left|thumb|[[Brendan]] challenging Steven in Ruby and Sapphire]]
In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, Steven appears as the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Hoenn]] region. His strategy in battle is to use {{type|Steel}} Pokémon to find the weaknesses of his opponents, with his {{p|Metagross}} being the cornerstone of his team.

In {{game|Emerald}}, Steven is a powerful, wandering Trainer who gave up competing seriously to spend more time looking for rare rocks and stones, which he claims he would {{m|Waterfall|climb waterfalls}} to find. Fittingly, the {{player}} can find and challenge him in the upper area of [[Meteor Falls]] after they defeat the new Champion, [[Wallace]].

In Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald, after the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]], Steven will leave a {{p|Beldum}} and a note for the player at his house in [[Mossdeep City]].

In {{game|Platinum}}, the person who gives the player their [[villa]] in the [[Resort Area]] mentions that the man who gave him the villa came to [[Sinnoh]] to collect rare stones. After collecting the stones, he left the region with all the items in the villa. This mysterious previous owner may in fact be Steven.

Steven also appears in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, introducing himself as the Hoenn Champion. The player first meets him when they leave the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] in [[Vermilion City]] after collecting {{OBP|Copycat|character}}'s {{Key|IV|Lost Item}}, where he will appear and inform them that there have been reports of either a {{p|Latios}}{{sup/4|SS}} or {{p|Latias}}{{sup/4|HG}} {{pkmn2|roaming}} [[Kanto]]. The player meets him a second time after defeating {{ga|Red}} on [[Mt. Silver]], where he will appear in the [[Silph Co.]] building in [[Saffron City]] and let the player choose one of three colored stones: the Green Stone, the Red Stone or the Blue Stone. Depending on which color is picked, he will give the player one of the three Hoenn [[starter Pokémon]]. He can later be found in the [[Pewter Museum of Science]], examining a shelf. After visiting and speaking to him there, he will return to the Silph Co. building and offer to [[trade]] a Beldum for a {{p|Forretress}}.

If the player has the [[Enigma Stone]] and enters the Pewter Museum of Science, an event will occur in which Steven will be talking to one of the museum's researchers. When he is spoken to, he will notice the Enigma Stone and have the researcher examine it. The researcher will extract the [[Soul Dew]] from the stone and give it to the player. Steven will tell the player that Soul Dew is said to be the solidified spirits of Latias and Latios, and that it can bring out their true potential. Upon walking outside, Latias{{sup/4|SS}} or Latios{{sup/4|HG}} will be waiting to battle in [[Pewter City]], drawn to the player by the Soul Dew.

In {{game|Black and White|s}}, a vacationist who visits [[Undella Town]] in the [[Seasons|summer]] mentions Steven, explaining that he is a very powerful Pokémon Trainer who collects stones. In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, Steven appears alongside the other Champions from the first five [[generation]]s as an opponent in the [[Champions Tournament]] at the [[Pokémon World Tournament]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Steven Stone.png|210px|thumb|Steven in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Steven was first mentioned by his [[Mr. Stone|father]] in ''[[AG017|Stairway to Devon]]'' who claimed he would be a good person for {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr}} to know. He then appeared as a [[character of the day]] in ''[[AG022|A Hole Lotta Trouble]]''. He helped Ash, his friends, and {{TRT}} escape from an underground cavern. Unlike his game counterpart, Steven was not mentioned to be or have been the [[Hoenn League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}, but was simply a powerful Trainer. When Ash and company met him he was exploring [[Granite Cave]] looking for rare stones on [[Dewford Island]] with his partner Aron. After sending Team Rocket blasting off, he found a {{evostone|Fire Stone}}.

At the end of the episode, Ash vowed to train harder so one day he could be powerful enough to battle Steven.

Aron and its Trainer try to find the source of the crash, they found Max, Meowth and {{AP|Pikachu}}, the trio tells Steven what happened. Finding a large hole and where the others were, a group of rampaging Aron head straight towards them which they succeed to dodge them. After sending {{TRT}} blasting off, they found a {{evostone|Fire Stone}}. Aron and Steven said their farewells to the group as they headed off into the distance on a sailing boat.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Steven Adventures.png|thumb|300px|Steven and his {{p|Metagross}} in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
Steven met {{adv|Ruby}} while looking through the Granite Cave. During a battle with wild {{p|Mawile}}, Ruby's {{p|Skitty}} bumped into one of Steven's Moon Stones, causing her to evolve.

Steven was well-aware of the danger [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]] presented, and extended an invitation to Ruby to join the fight against them. Steven invited him to help, but Ruby declined because he didn't like battling. The armlets on Steven's arms are devices he can use to chip away stones, as well as to grab and retrieve rocks that are out of reach.

Later in the series, Steven confessed that he and his father, the owner of the [[Devon Corporation]], knew about the schemes of [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]] quite long ago. [[Mr. Stone]] built the [[Submarine Explorer 1]] so that Steven can seal the Seafloor Cavern and no one would be able to wake {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}}. The backup plan in case it fails would be to unseal {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}}.

Steven later assembles the rest of the Hoenn Elite Four in order to fight against Kyogre and Groudon. With the help of {{adv|Sapphire}}'s {{p|Wailord}} and {{p|Relicanth}}, Steven and the [[Elite Four]] unsealed the Regis. Steven took control of Registeel and gave the other two Regis to the other members of the Elite Four.

Knowing he would die in Kyogre and Groudon's battle, Steven stepped down from the position of Champion, and gave it back to [[Wallace]], who was actually the true Champion while Steven had only been a runner-up. After Kyogre and Groudon returned to their respective domains, Steven died from the strain of controlling the Regis, but was later revived under mysterious circumstances when Ruby released his {{p|Celebi}}.

Steven later traveled to Sinnoh to collect the rare stones found in the region. He had purchased a [[Villa]] but sold it to {{adv|Platinum}} and returned to Hoenn at the start of the {{chap|Platinum}}.

Steven uses his Metagross to fly around Hoenn. Its magnetism allows him to float atop it.

==Trivia==
* In {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, Steven states that his favorite Pokémon is {{p|Beldum}} and that his favorite move is {{m|Steel Wing}}. Consequently, he leaves Beldum in his house as a {{pkmn2|gift}} for the {{player}}, and gives the player {{TM|47|Steel Wing}} in [[Granite Cave]].
* In Emerald, when the player speaks to Steven in [[Meteor Falls]] before their battle, he mistakenly refers to battling alongside the player in the {{ci|Sootopolis}} Space Center. The Space Center is actually in [[Mossdeep City]].
* The battle with Steven against [[Maxie]] and [[Tabitha]] is the only occasion in the [[Generation III]] games where the player teams up with an ally for a [[Double Battle]].
** During this [[Multi Battle]], by [[hacking]], it is possible to level up Steven's Pokémon. This would not happen normally, as not enough [[experience]] is given to do so.
* Steven's [[Trainer ID number]] is 61226 in Pokémon Emerald, while it is 23478 in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.
* Steven's role in Emerald is similar to {{ga|Red}}'s role in [[Generation II]] and HeartGold and SoulSilver, and [[Alder]]'s in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, as they are all former champions who can be battled after defeating the [[Elite Four]]. The only difference is that Steven and Alder can only be battled once, while Red can be battled multiple times.
* Steven shares his French name (Pierre) with [[Brock]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Pewter City]]. In the French dub of the anime, he keeps his English name of Steven Stone so as to not be confused with {{an|Brock}}, who was traveling with Ash when the group met Steven.
**In games where both Steven and Brock appear, Steven is referred to as "P. Rochard" (HeartGold and SoulSilver) and "Rochard" (Black 2 and White 2).
* Even though he has gray eyes in the games, Steven is portrayed as having blue-green eyes in the {{pkmn|anime}} and yellow eyes in [[Pokémon Adventures]].
* Despite being a {{type|Steel}} specialist, all of Steven's teams feature just as many or more {{type|Rock}} Pokémon.

'''Steven Stone''' (Japanese: '''ツワブキ・ダイゴ''' ''Daigo Tsuwabuki'') is a {{pkmn|Master}} {{type|Steel}} {{pkmn|Trainer}} and the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Hoenn]] region's [[Elite Four]] in [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]], [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire]]. He is a collector of rare stones, is the son of the [[Mr. Stone|president]] of the [[Devon Corporation]], and makes his home in [[Mossdeep City]]. In {{game|Emerald}}, he is no longer the Champion—due to [[Wallace]] taking his place—and instead wanders the Hoenn region, aiding the {{player}} on their journey.

==In the games==
[[File:Steven-rs.png|240px|left|thumb|[[Brendan]] challenging Steven in Ruby and Sapphire]]
In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, Steven appears as the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Hoenn]] region. His strategy in battle is to use {{type|Steel}} Pokémon to find the weaknesses of his opponents, with his {{p|Metagross}} being the cornerstone of his team.

In {{game|Emerald}}, Steven is a powerful, wandering Trainer who gave up competing seriously to spend more time looking for rare rocks and stones, which he claims he would {{m|Waterfall|climb waterfalls}} to find. Fittingly, the {{player}} can find and challenge him in the upper area of [[Meteor Falls]] after they defeat the new Champion, [[Wallace]].

In Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald, after the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]], Steven will leave a {{p|Beldum}} and a note for the player at his house in [[Mossdeep City]].

In {{game|Platinum}}, the person who gives the player their [[villa]] in the [[Resort Area]] mentions that the man who gave him the villa came to [[Sinnoh]] to collect rare stones. After collecting the stones, he left the region with all the items in the villa. This mysterious previous owner may in fact be Steven.

Steven also appears in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, introducing himself as the Hoenn Champion. The player first meets him when they leave the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] in [[Vermilion City]] after collecting {{OBP|Copycat|character}}'s {{Key|IV|Lost Item}}, where he will appear and inform them that there have been reports of either a {{p|Latios}}{{sup/4|SS}} or {{p|Latias}}{{sup/4|HG}} {{pkmn2|roaming}} [[Kanto]]. The player meets him a second time after defeating {{ga|Red}} on [[Mt. Silver]], where he will appear in the [[Silph Co.]] building in [[Saffron City]] and let the player choose one of three colored stones: the Green Stone, the Red Stone or the Blue Stone. Depending on which color is picked, he will give the player one of the three Hoenn [[starter Pokémon]]. He can later be found in the [[Pewter Museum of Science]], examining a shelf. After visiting and speaking to him there, he will return to the Silph Co. building and offer to [[trade]] a Beldum for a {{p|Forretress}}.

If the player has the [[Enigma Stone]] and enters the Pewter Museum of Science, an event will occur in which Steven will be talking to one of the museum's researchers. When he is spoken to, he will notice the Enigma Stone and have the researcher examine it. The researcher will extract the [[Soul Dew]] from the stone and give it to the player. Steven will tell the player that Soul Dew is said to be the solidified spirits of Latias and Latios, and that it can bring out their true potential. Upon walking outside, Latias{{sup/4|SS}} or Latios{{sup/4|HG}} will be waiting to battle in [[Pewter City]], drawn to the player by the Soul Dew.

In {{game|Black and White|s}}, a vacationist who visits [[Undella Town]] in the [[Seasons|summer]] mentions Steven, explaining that he is a very powerful Pokémon Trainer who collects stones. In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, Steven appears alongside the other Champions from the first five [[generation]]s as an opponent in the [[Champions Tournament]] at the [[Pokémon World Tournament]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Steven Stone.png|210px|thumb|Steven in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Steven was first mentioned by his [[Mr. Stone|father]] in ''[[AG017|Stairway to Devon]]'' who claimed he would be a good person for {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr}} to know. He then appeared as a [[character of the day]] in ''[[AG022|A Hole Lotta Trouble]]''. He helped Ash, his friends, and {{TRT}} escape from an underground cavern. Unlike his game counterpart, Steven was not mentioned to be or have been the [[Hoenn League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}, but was simply a powerful Trainer. When Ash and company met him he was exploring [[Granite Cave]] looking for rare stones on [[Dewford Island]] with his partner Aron. After sending Team Rocket blasting off, he found a {{evostone|Fire Stone}}.

At the end of the episode, Ash vowed to train harder so one day he could be powerful enough to battle Steven.

Finding a large hole and where the others were, a group of rampaging Aron head straight towards them which they succeed to dodge them. After sending {{TRT}} blasting off, they found a {{evostone|Fire Stone}}. Aron and Steven said their farewells to the group as they headed off into the distance on a sailing boat.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Steven Adventures.png|thumb|300px|Steven and his {{p|Metagross}} in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
Steven met {{adv|Ruby}} while looking through the Granite Cave. During a battle with wild {{p|Mawile}}, Ruby's {{p|Skitty}} bumped into one of Steven's Moon Stones, causing her to evolve.

Steven was well-aware of the danger [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]] presented, and extended an invitation to Ruby to join the fight against them. Steven invited him to help, but Ruby declined because he didn't like battling. The armlets on Steven's arms are devices he can use to chip away stones, as well as to grab and retrieve rocks that are out of reach.

Later in the series, Steven confessed that he and his father, the owner of the [[Devon Corporation]], knew about the schemes of [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]] quite long ago. [[Mr. Stone]] built the [[Submarine Explorer 1]] so that Steven can seal the Seafloor Cavern and no one would be able to wake {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}}. The backup plan in case it fails would be to unseal {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}}.

Steven later assembles the rest of the Hoenn Elite Four in order to fight against Kyogre and Groudon. With the help of {{adv|Sapphire}}'s {{p|Wailord}} and {{p|Relicanth}}, Steven and the [[Elite Four]] unsealed the Regis. Steven took control of Registeel and gave the other two Regis to the other members of the Elite Four.

Knowing he would die in Kyogre and Groudon's battle, Steven stepped down from the position of Champion, and gave it back to [[Wallace]], who was actually the true Champion while Steven had only been a runner-up. After Kyogre and Groudon returned to their respective domains, Steven died from the strain of controlling the Regis, but was later revived under mysterious circumstances when Ruby released his {{p|Celebi}}.

Steven later traveled to Sinnoh to collect the rare stones found in the region. He had purchased a [[Villa]] but sold it to {{adv|Platinum}} and returned to Hoenn at the start of the {{chap|Platinum}}.

Steven uses his Metagross to fly around Hoenn. Its magnetism allows him to float atop it.

==Trivia==
* In {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, Steven states that his favorite Pokémon is {{p|Beldum}} and that his favorite move is {{m|Steel Wing}}. Consequently, he leaves Beldum in his house as a {{pkmn2|gift}} for the {{player}}, and gives the player {{TM|47|Steel Wing}} in [[Granite Cave]].
* In Emerald, when the player speaks to Steven in [[Meteor Falls]] before their battle, he mistakenly refers to battling alongside the player in the {{ci|Sootopolis}} Space Center. The Space Center is actually in [[Mossdeep City]].
* The battle with Steven against [[Maxie]] and [[Tabitha]] is the only occasion in the [[Generation III]] games where the player teams up with an ally for a [[Double Battle]].
** During this [[Multi Battle]], by [[hacking]], it is possible to level up Steven's Pokémon. This would not happen normally, as not enough [[experience]] is given to do so.
* Steven's [[Trainer ID number]] is 61226 in Pokémon Emerald, while it is 23478 in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.
* Steven's role in Emerald is similar to {{ga|Red}}'s role in [[Generation II]] and HeartGold and SoulSilver, and [[Alder]]'s in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, as they are all former champions who can be battled after defeating the [[Elite Four]]. The only difference is that Steven and Alder can only be battled once, while Red can be battled multiple times.
* Steven shares his French name (Pierre) with [[Brock]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Pewter City]]. In the French dub of the anime, he keeps his English name of Steven Stone so as to not be confused with {{an|Brock}}, who was traveling with Ash when the group met Steven.
**In games where both Steven and Brock appear, Steven is referred to as "P. Rochard" (HeartGold and SoulSilver) and "Rochard" (Black 2 and White 2).
* Even though he has gray eyes in the games, Steven is portrayed as having blue-green eyes in the {{pkmn|anime}} and yellow eyes in [[Pokémon Adventures]].
* Despite being a {{type|Steel}} specialist, all of Steven's teams feature just as many or more {{type|Rock}} Pokémon.

'''Mitsuhide''' (Japanese: '''ミツヒデ''') is a [[Warlord]] in [[Pokémon Conquest]].

==In the games==
[[File:Conquest Five Warlords.png|thumb|right|250px|[[Ieyasu]], [[Kenshin]], [[Hideyoshi]], [[Shingen]], and Mitsuhide]]
{{Spoilers}}
In {{DL|List of Pokémon Conquest stories|The Legend of Ransei}}, Mitsuhide is one of [[Nobunaga]]'s top generals, and one of the last people the [[Hero]]/[[Heroine]] needs to defeat to challenge Nobunaga himself. His junior Warlord is his daughter, [[Gracia]].

In Mitsuhide's story, {{DL|List of Pokémon Conquest stories|Tragic Determination}}, he rebels against his master, deciding that Nobunaga has strayed too far off his path of uniting [[Ransei]]. Hearing from [[Ranmaru]] of Mitsuhide's betrayal, Nobunaga challenges Mitsuhide, daring him to defeat the entirety of his army before three years pass. Upon doing so, Nobunaga admits defeat, and asks Mitsuhide to do what he could not.

===Profile===
''Never letting his composure slip for a second, his overly serene nature sometimes gets him in trouble. His loyalty to trusted friends, however, is unshakeable.''

==Historical origin==
Mitsuhide is based on the real-life {{wp|Akechi Mitsuhide}} of Japanese history, best known for his betrayal of [[Nobunaga]]. His wife was {{DL|List of Pokémon Conquest characters|Hiroko}} ({{jwp|妻木煕子|Tsumaki Hiroko}}), his children were {{DL|List of Pokémon Conquest characters|Hidemitsu}} ({{wp|Akechi Hidemitsu}}) and [[Gracia]], and {{DL|List of Pokémon Conquest characters|Mitsutada}} ({{wp|Akechi Mitsutada}}) was his cousin. {{DL|List of Pokémon Conquest characters|Toshimitsu}} ({{wp|Saitō Toshimitsu}}), once a retainer for {{DL|List of Pokémon Conquest characters|Ittetsu}} ({{wp|Inaba Yoshimichi}}), defected to Mitsuhide to serve as his retainer. It is unknown if Mitsuhide died in the aftermath of the {{wp|Battle of Yamazaki}}, and he is rumored to have become {{wp|Tenkai}} (a Buddhist monk), who served [[Ieyasu]]. However, the game treats Mitsuhide and {{DL|List of Pokémon Conquest characters|Tenkai}} as two separate characters.

Walkthrough:Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen/Part 11

2012-12-11T03:42:14Z

Orderly Chaos: /* Cinnabar Gym */

==Cinnabar Island==
[[File:Cinnabar Island FRLG.png|thumb|Cinnabar Island]]

The {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} in the northwest has been abandoned, having been destroyed by a {{p|Mewtwo|violent genetically-engineered Pokémon}} that broke free of its prison and escaped. Fortunately, the [[Pokémon Lab]] next to the Poké Center was spared, so the Fossil resurrection experiment is still operational. This technological mecca is also home to the seventh Gym, which is locked until the player finds the [[Secret Key]] in the [[Pokémon Mansion]].

The [[Cinnabar Gym]] is locked up tight, and without the {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Secret Key}}, Trainers won't be able to challenge [[Blaine]]. Sneak into the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion|deserted building}} behind the lab to track down the key.

===Pokémon Mansion===
Buried somewhere in these ruins is the {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Secret Key|key}} to the Cinnabar Gym.

To find the key, walk straight ahead from the entrance to reach the stairs to the second floor. Check every statue; the hidden switches inside open some doors while closing others. Flip switches as necessary to collect all the items.

One Gym left after this! [[Blaine]] specializes in {{type|Fire}}s, so a team of {{t|Water}}-, {{t|Rock}}-, or {{type|Ground}}s is best. His Pokémon are at high levels and possess the very powerful [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] move {{m|Fire Blast}}, but are easily neutralized by {{t|Water}} and {{t|Rock}} type Pokémon. There's a strong chance of getting {{status|burn}}ed in this red-hot Gym, so bring some {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Burn Heal}}s and/or {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Full Heal}}s along. It's possible to avoid all seven other battles by checking each area's quiz machine and answering the question correctly but why waste the cash and experience?

Blaine's team is easily washed away by a strong {{t|Water}}-type. If you started with {{p|Squirtle}}, this gym should be easy. If not, other water-types, {{t|ground}}-types, or {{t|rock}}-types will be just as effective. His {{p|Ponyta}} and {{p|Rapidash}} have a tendency to use {{m|Bounce}}, which gives you a free turn to heal, or switch. 

After his defeat, Blaine awards the {{Badge|Volcano}} to victorious Trainers, as well as {{TM|38|Fire Blast}}. The Badge also heightens a Pokémon's {{stat|Special}} stats. 
After defeating Blaine, Trainers leave the [[Cinnabar Gym]] and run into [[Bill]] outside. A friend has invited Bill to visit him on the first of a [[Sevii Islands|chain of newly-discovered islands]] to the south of the [[Kanto]] mainland. If you do choose to go, it will take you awhile to get back, so if you're in a hurry to face the [[Viridian City Gym]] you can go there first and come back later. Bill will wait inside the Pokémon Center for you.

Orderly Chaos: /* Cinnabar Gym */

==Cinnabar Island==
[[File:Cinnabar Island FRLG.png|thumb|Cinnabar Island]]

The {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} in the northwest has been abandoned, having been destroyed by a {{p|Mewtwo|violent genetically-engineered Pokémon}} that broke free of its prison and escaped. Fortunately, the [[Pokémon Lab]] next to the Poké Center was spared, so the Fossil resurrection experiment is still operational. This technological mecca is also home to the seventh Gym, which is locked until the player finds the [[Secret Key]] in the [[Pokémon Mansion]].

{{sign|FRLG|footer}}

:In the Testing Room, one scientist is willing to trade his {{p|Seel}} for a {{p|Ponyta}}. 
:The scientist with speech problems is the guy to talk to about reviving those [[Fossil]]s. Give him the {{DL|Fossil|Dome Fossil}} to get a {{p|Kabuto}}, or the {{DL|Fossil|Helix Fossil}} to receive an {{p|Omanyte}}. Both are {{2t|Rock|Water}}-types that lived in the primordial ocean. Turning over the {{DL|Fossil|Old Amber}} results in the {{2t|Rock|Flying}}-type {{p|Aerodactyl}}, king of the prehistoric skies.
 
The [[Cinnabar Gym]] is locked up tight, and without the {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Secret Key}}, Trainers won't be able to challenge [[Blaine]]. Sneak into the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion|deserted building}} behind the lab to track down the key.

===Pokémon Mansion===
Buried somewhere in these ruins is the {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Secret Key|key}} to the Cinnabar Gym. Scattered throughout the building are journal entries describing the secret experiment that was conducted on the island, resulting in one of {{p|Mewtwo|the most violent Pokémon imaginable}}.

To find the key, walk straight ahead from the entrance to reach the stairs to the second floor. Check every statue; the hidden switches inside open some doors while closing others. Flip switches as necessary to collect all the items.

One Gym left after this! [[Blaine]] specializes in {{type|Fire}}s, so a team of {{t|Water}}-, {{t|Rock}}-, or {{type|Ground}}s is best. His Pokémon are at high levels and possess the very powerful [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] move {{m|Fire Blast}}, but are easily neutralized by {{t|Water}} and {{t|Rock}} type Pokémon. There's a strong chance of getting {{status|burn}}ed in this red-hot Gym, so bring some {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Burn Heal}}s and/or {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Full Heal}}s along. It's possible to avoid all seven other battles by checking each area's quiz machine and answering the question correctly but why waste the cash and experience?

Blaine's team is easily washed away by a strong {{t|Water}}-type. If you started with {{p|Squirtle}}, this gym should be easy. If not, other water-types, {{t|ground}}-types, or {{t|rock}}-types will be just as effective. His {{p|Ponyta}} and {{p|Rapidash}} have a tendency to use {{m|Bounce}}, which gives you a free turn to heal, or switch. 

After his defeat, Blaine awards the {{Badge|Volcano}} to victorious Trainers, as well as {{TM|38|Fire Blast}}. The Badge also heightens a Pokémon's {{stat|Special}} stats. 
After defeating Blaine, Trainers leave the [[Cinnabar Gym]] and run into [[Bill]] outside. A friend has invited Bill to visit him on the first of a [[Sevii Islands|chain of newly-discovered islands]] to the south of the [[Kanto]] mainland. If you choose not to leave right away, Bill will wait inside the Poké Center for the boat to arrive (which won't arrive until the player speaks to him again).

== Vermilion City ==
[[File:Vermilion City FRLG.png|thumb|350px|left|Vermilion City]]

The path to the Gym is blocked off by an overgrown tree, meaning that it is currently off-limits to Trainers who do not have [[HM01]]. Talk to the girl in the Poké Center to obtain the {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|VS Seeker}}, a device that indicates any nearby Trainers that want a rematch. After checking out the local attractions, go south to the harbor to board the luxury cruise-liner, [[S.S. Anne]].

=== Fishing Guru #1 ===

Visit the house to the left of the Poké Center and talk to the fishing enthusiast inside. Convince him that you love fishing as much as he does, and he'll give you the {{DL|Fishing|Old Rod}}. The only fish weak enough to be caught with this is {{p|Magikarp}}, but at least you can find them for free now. The Good Rod and Super Rod are better, but Trainers won't find those until later.

=== Pokémon Fan Club ===

The building just north of the Gym is the Pokémon Fan Club. Listen to the Chairman's rambling thoughts, and he'll give you a {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Bike Voucher}} for your time. Show this ticket at the Bike Shop in Cerulean City to finally get a free bike!

=== Another Trade ===

If you've got a {{p|Spearow}} you're willing to part with, bring it to the house next to the Fan Club. A little girl inside will offer to trade her {{p|Farfetch'd}} for it. Not bad, since this is the only Farfetch'd in the game.

== S.S. Anne ==
[[File:SS Anne FRLG.png|thumb|The S.S. Anne, moored in the harbor]]

This cruise ship caters to some of the world's best Pokémon Trainers, so expect some heavy battling aboard.

=== 1F ===

Pick up {{TM|31|Brick Break}} from the second room, follow the hallway around to the right, and head down the stairs to the basement.

Once you're done here, head back to the entrance (and heal up by talking to the woman in Room 6 if necessary). Walk to the left (ignore the first set of stairs), and then down to reach the cafeteria. Check the three trash cans along the east wall to find Pecha, Cheri, and Chesto Berries. Grab the Great Ball in the southwest corner, as well. Leave the cafeteria, and walk straight up to the next set of stairs. Head down (you can take the closest stairs to the shipdeck for two Trainer battles for extra EXP) and then right to find the last few rooms of Trainers on the ship, with the Captain's room at the end.

Now that you've battled all the Trainers and picked up all the items, head east to the Captain's room.
Be careful though, since your rival will be leaving the Captain's room just as you're headed there. This fight should not be particularly challenging, as his Pokémon are at decent levels, but possess no powerful moves yet.

After the battle, he taunts you again and runs off. Now you're free to visit the Captain. When you enter his room, you find him hunched over a trash can - it looks like the Captain got seasick. Not to worry, all it takes is a quick back rub to quell his stomach, and the Captain rewards you with {{HM|01|Cut}}. With this, you'll finally be able to cut down those overgrown trees to reach new areas. After helping the Captain, there's nothing left to do on the ship, so it's time to head back to the city. As you disembark, the ferry glides out of port, so don't miss any items.

{{sign|FRLG|footer}}

It's finally time for the next Gym battle. Use [[HM01]] to teach one of your Pokémon how to {{m|cut}} the tree out of the way in order to enter the Gym. The [[Vermilion Gym]] focuses on {{type|Electric}}s, so {{type|Ground}}s like {{p|Geodude}} and {{p|Sandshrew}} are best here, since they're immune to electrical attacks. Trainers lacking a Ground-type should head east from Vermilion and step inside [[Diglett's Cave]] just outside the city; many {{p|Diglett}} and even a few {{p|Dugtrio}} are easily found here. Your own {{t|Electric}}- and {{t|Grass}}-types are also somewhat immune, but avoid bringing any {{t|Flying}}- and {{t|Water}}-types. 
Lt. Surge has set a trap in his Gym - Trainers must flip two switches that are hidden randomly inside the trash cans to open the doors to the Gym Leader. After finding the first switch, the second will be directly next to it. If you don't flip them both in a row, the trap will reset, and you'll have to hunt them down again.

Lt. Surge shouldn't be too hard if your Pokémon are at a decent level. Try not to use physical attacks against his {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Raichu}}—being paralyzed by {{a|Static}} will not help you. A strong {{t|Ground}}-type will help tremendously, as Lt. Surge's Pokémon will have to resort to using their weaker {{t|Normal}}-type attacks to damage you. Make sure that Pikachu and Raichu don't have a chance to set up [[Double Team]], as they will become hard to hit after a few turns.If you're having trouble with Lt. Surge's team, an easy solution is to head to [[Diglett's Cave]] and catch a {{p|Diglett}} or {{p|Dugtrio}}. The gym will become much, much easier after that. 

After defeating Lt. Surge, he presents you with your third badge. The {{badge|Thunder}} grants a slight {{stat|speed}} boost in battle, and allows you to fly to any town you've already visited (once you find [[HM02]]). He also hands out {{TM|34|Shock Wave}}, an Electric-type move that normally cannot miss the target, as a prize.
 
Stop in the Pokémon Center to heal up, and then travel to the east to enter Route 11.

Hexagon Brothers

2012-12-10T09:02:16Z

Orderly Chaos: /* Intro */

The '''Hexagon Brothers''' are a team of six {{tc|Cipher Peon}}s in {{Pokémon XD}}. They are named '''Resix''', '''Blusix''', '''Greesix''', '''Purpsix''', '''Yellosix''' and '''Browsix'''. They are dressed in the colors of their names, specialize in a different type of Pokémon, and have a [[Shadow Pokémon]] of the corresponding type. The types are {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Water}}, {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Poison}}, {{t|Electric}} and {{t|Ground}}, and the Shadow Pokémon are {{p|Houndour}}, {{p|Spheal}}, {{p|Seedot}}, {{p|Gulpin}}, {{p|Mareep}} and {{p|Baltoy}}, accordingly. 
The Hexagon Brothers have their own motto, in which they count off. However, they always mess up their counting (e.g. forgetting to count the first person, or counting an extra time after six). They appear at the [[Shadow PKMN Lab]] and at [[Phenac City]] (disguised as the "[[Justy]] Gang"). They can be rebattled at the Cipher Lab at any time.

==Trivia==
*Interestingly, their colors are the same as the colors of the TCG's original six {{TCG|Basic Energy card}}s, and each of their Pokémon falls into a TCG type represented by one of these types ({{TCG|Gulpin}}, however, being a {{type|Poison}}, was a {{ct|Grass}} in the TCG before {{TCG|Diamond & Pearl}}).
* Resix's team after snagging and before beating the game gives only Special Attack [[effort values|EVs]]. Under the same conditions, Browsix's only provides HP EVs. This makes them among the few places to EV train in XD.

{{StrategyWiki}}
'''Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンＸＤ {{tt|闇|やみ}}の{{tt|旋風|かぜ}}ダーク・ルギア''' ''Pokémon XD: Whirlwind of Darkness, Dark Lugia'') is [[Genius Sonority]]'s second Pokémon game for the [[Nintendo GameCube]] as well as the second RPG in the Pokémon series for a home console. The game features a [[Battle Mode]] akin to that of its [[Pokémon Colosseum|predecessor]], as well as a Story Mode featuring a brand new plot set in the [[Orre]] region.

==Gameplay==
Much like Colosseum, Pokémon XD features similar gameplay to the [[main series]] of Pokémon games. Mechanics in [[Pokémon battle]]s are directly adapted. Also, similar to its prequel, Pokémon XD features mostly [[Double Battles]] instead of Single Battles. Also, [[Wild Pokémon]] can only be found in specific places, called [[Poké Spots]].

==Story==
{{spoilers}}
===Setting===
The game once again takes place in the [[Orre]] region, about five years after the events of {{pkmn|Colosseum}}. In their second attempt at world domination, the criminal organization [[Cipher]] has created a [[Shadow Lugia]], codenamed ''XD001'', claimed to be immune to purification. A young Trainer, [[Michael]], aims to defeat Cipher and prevent their plans.

===Plot===
{{incomplete|section|More plot. When added, please add to [[Orre]] as well}}
The game opens with a shot of the [[S.S. Libra]] cruising through the sea, when suddenly some helicopters appear overhead with [[Shadow Lugia]], which picks up the ship. The sailors fall out and watch in awe as it flies away, carrying the ship with it. The protagonist, [[Michael]], finds himself using a {{p|Salamence}} to battle a {{p|Metagross}}. No matter what the outcome is, when the battle is over the player will then find himself in the [[Pokémon HQ Lab]], where it is revealed that the battle was merely a simulation. Michael then speaks with [[Professor Krane]] and [[Lily (XD)|Lily]]. Prof. Krane comments on Michael's battle skills, and Lily remembers that she hasn't seen [[Jovi]], Michael's younger sister, since lunch.

Lily asks Michael to look for her. Michael finds a [[P★DA]] that Professor Krane left him in his room and gets an E-mail telling him to ask [[Adon]], who was playing hide-and-seek with Jovi. Adon tells Michael to look in [[Dr. Kaminko]]'s house. After watching a report about the missing cargo ship that was carrying loads of Pokémon (the S.S. Libra), Michael goes to Kaminko's house, where he battles by [[Chobin]], who mistakes him for a burglar. After fending him off, Jovi shows up and Michael takes Jovi home.

Back at the HQ Lab, Michael talks to Prof. Krane and obtains the [[Snag Machine]], a machine that allows its owner to snag Shadow Pokémon from other trainers. To complement the machine, Aidan adds a Shadow Monitor to the P★DA. When Professor Krane goes to ready the battle simulator for a test, some men come in and kidnap Professor Krane. Michael follows them outside and battles the leader, [[Naps]], who is using a [[Shadow Pokémon|shadow]] {{p|Teddiursa}}, which Michael snags. However, Prof. Krane is taken away by his captors. Aidan mentions that Prof. Krane is crucial to the Purification Chamber project (a device that allows Shadow Pokemon to be purified), and that there is nothing they can do without him. Lily then says they can complete it themselves, and sends Michael to [[Gateon Port]] to retrieve a crucial part, with Jovi tagging along. 

At Gateon Port, Jovi (literally) runs into [[Zook]], who sends out his shadow {{p|Zangoose}} in anger. Before he can do anything else, however, a mysterious wealthy man, [[Mr. Verich]], steps in and has one of his bodyguards defeat Zook. Michael and Jovi retrieve the machine part from the mechanic [[Perr]] (snagging a few Shadow Pokémon on the way) and return to the HQ lab. 

Lily mentions that there is a place in [[Agate Village]] that can purify Shadow Pokémon, and Michael heads there. While there, he meets Eagun, the elder of Agate Village, who shows Michael the [[Relic Stone]], a stone that has the power to purify Shadow Pokémon. Eagun allows Michael to purify one Pokémon at the Stone, and Michael returns to the HQ Lab. 

Michael then travels to the [[Cipher Lab]] to rescue Prof. Krane, and successfully does so while defeating Cipher Admin [[Lovrina]]. While at the lab, he finds a DATA Rom, and heads to Pyrite Town to speak with [[Secc]] and [[Nett]] at [[ONBS]], to see if they can decode it.

Michael's next stop is [[Phenac City]]. After his arrival, he finds that the city has been taken over by [[Cipher]]. After defeating the [[Cipher Peon]]s, he heads into the Phenac Stadium and defeats Cipher Admin [[Snattle]], freeing Phenac City.

(More to be added later)

==Characters==
[[File:Michael_2.png|thumb|Michael, as he appears in Pokémon XD]]
{{main|:Category:XD characters}}
The [[player character|hero]] of Pokémon XD is a young boy named [[Michael]], Trainer of an Eevee. Michael lives with his mother, [[Lily (XD)|Lily]], and his younger sister [[Jovi]]. [[Professor Krane]], a scientist researching Pokémon purification and a family friend, often assists him. A handful of other characters also appear, some returning from {{pkmn|Colosseum}} and some new.

The crime organization [[Cipher]] returns in the game with renewed plans. The syndicate includes five new admins: [[Lovrina]], [[Snattle]], [[Gorigan]], [[Ardos]] and [[Eldes]] hired by the team's [[Greevil|boss]]. [[Miror B.]] also appears in the game with new scopes in mind.

==Locations==
{{main|:Category:XD locations}}
The game's setting is in the [[Orre]] region, which has been altered after the five years that have passed. More [[wild Pokémon]] have started appearing, but Orre's land is still much less inhabited than other [[regions]]. Pokémon XD features locations not present in Colosseum, as well as landmarks such as [[Mt. Battle]] returning.

===Generation IV===
* {{p|Munchlax}}
* {{p|Bonsly}}

These Pokémon are not catchable, but they have special roles in the game. The Herbalist's Munchlax will often appear at a Poké Spot and make the hero receive a false alarm that a wild Pokémon has appeared to eat his Poké Snacks. When the hero finds Munchlax, the Herbalist will appear to take it back to her store, and she will offer the hero ten more Poké Snacks for his trouble.

A girl's Bonsly can be found inside the [[S.S. Libra]] after it appears in the desert. This Bonsly is apparently a Pokémon that Cipher forgot to take to [[Cipher Key Lair]]. After saving Bonsly and taking it to the girl in [[Pyrite Town]], she will allow the hero to play a special [[Battle Bingo#Bonsly Card|bingo card]] at [[Realgam Tower]], which features Bonsly as a usable Pokémon.

Players can transfer snagged Pokémon from Pokémon XD to any of the portable [[Generation III]] games: [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby, Sapphire]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, LeafGreen]] and {{v|Emerald}}. This transference functions identically to the [[trade|trading]] function in the [[main series]] games, but can only happen in [[Phenac City]].
* In order to do the above, one needs to have completed the sidequest to unlock trading with Hoenn-based games in FireRed and LeafGreen.
* Through exploitation of differences in linkup requirements, players can send Pokémon from XD to one of the handheld Hoenn games without beating the Elite Four, trading first to a game that has done so, trading from that to {{g|Colosseum}}, and trading from Colosseum to the Hoenn game.

==Trivia==
* The "XD" in the title stands for 'e'''X'''tra '''D'''imension'.
* Though {{p|Lugia}} is the main focus of the game, it has the second highest level of all snaggable [[Shadow Pokémon]] in this game (tied with {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, and {{p|Salamence}}). The Shadow Pokémon of the highest level in this game is a {{p|Dragonite}}.
* Pokémon XD is only the second true sequel Pokémon game, after the [[Generation II]] games, which are a sequel to [[Generation I]].
** Before the release of Pokémon XD, Reggie Fils-Aime stated that Pokémon XD would not be a sequel to {{pkmn|Colosseum}}, but rather a whole new game, having a similar style to {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}.
* Trainers that were in Colosseum who also appear in this game tend to still have the same Pokémon, but their levels and even stages of evolution are sometimes lower than they were in Colosseum.
* If one trades a Pokémon from {{g|Colosseum}} to a [[Game Boy Advance]] game and then to this game, it will say the Pokémon was met in a distant land, even though both Colosseum and XD take place in Orre. A similar oddity occurs if the reverse is done.
* If a player pre-ordered this game, they could receive a limited edition [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] skin featuring [[Shadow Lugia]] or, {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Eevee}}, and [[Michael]].
* In the game, the player can capture Lugia, then Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres.
** Coincidentally, in ''[[M02|The Power of One]],'' [[Lawrence III|the antagonist]] of the movie captures Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres to capture Lugia.
* The game's name may be a reference to Lugia's codename before the release of Gold and Silver, Pokémon X.
* Like in Pokémon Colosseum, Shadow Pokémon are banned from VS mode. Despite this, there are no restrictions on non-Shadow Pokémon that know [[Shadow move]]s (given to them by a cheating device). The same lack of restrictions also apply to {{p|Bonsly}}. It is unknown why this occurs.
* Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness and {{g|Colosseum}} are the only RPG Pokémon games released after {{game|Crystal}} not to give the player the choice of playing as either a boy or a girl.

{{StrategyWiki}}
'''Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンＸＤ {{tt|闇|やみ}}の{{tt|旋風|かぜ}}ダーク・ルギア''' ''Pokémon XD: Whirlwind of Darkness, Dark Lugia'') is [[Genius Sonority]]'s second Pokémon game for the [[Nintendo GameCube]] as well as the second RPG in the Pokémon series for a home console. The game features a [[Battle Mode]] akin to that of its [[Pokémon Colosseum|predecessor]], as well as a Story Mode featuring a brand new plot set in the [[Orre]] region.

==Gameplay==
Much like Colosseum, Pokémon XD features similar gameplay to the [[main series]] of Pokémon games. Mechanics in [[Pokémon battle]]s are directly adapted. Also, similar to its prequel, Pokémon XD features mostly [[Double Battles]] instead of Single Battles. Also, [[Wild Pokémon]] can only be found in specific places, called [[Poké Spots]].

==Story==
{{spoilers}}
===Setting===
The game once again takes place in the [[Orre]] region, about five years after the events of {{pkmn|Colosseum}}. In their second attempt at world domination, the criminal organization [[Cipher]] has created a [[Shadow Lugia]], codenamed ''XD001'', claimed to be immune to purification. A young Trainer, [[Michael]], aims to defeat Cipher and prevent their plans.

===Plot===
{{incomplete|section|More plot. When added, please add to [[Orre]] as well}}
It starts with the [[S.S. Libra]] cruising, when suddenly some helicopters appear with [[Shadow Lugia]], which picks up the ship as the sailors that fell out watch in awe. Then, [[Michael]] finds himself using a {{p|Salamence}} to battle a {{p|Metagross}}. No matter what the outcome is, the player will then find himself in the [[Pokémon HQ Lab]], where the Trainer will tell him to consider raising Pokémon other than {{p|Eevee}}. Michael then speaks with [[Professor Krane]] and [[Lily (XD)|Lily]]. Prof. Krane comments Michael's skills, with Lily worrying that Michael will become spoiled. Prof. Krane tells her not to worry, saying both Michael and his sister [[Jovi]] are both wonderful kids, reminding Lily that she hasn't seen Jovi since lunch.

Lily asks Michael to look for her. Michael looks around, finding a [[P★DA]] that Professor Krane left him in his room and gets an E-mail telling him to ask [[Adon]], who was playing hide-and-seek with her. Adon tells him to look at [[Dr. Kaminko]]'s house. Michael then sees a report about the missing cargo ship that was carrying loads of Pokémon, the S.S. Libra. Michael goes to Kaminko's house, where he is attacked by [[Chobin]], who mistakes him for a burglar and sends out his Pokémon. After fending him off, Jovi shows up and asks what Michael is doing and asks if he is lost. Jovi then acts all high and mighty saying she knows that he is lost. Michael goes inside, and Chobin shoes a video of himself bragging about Kaminko's inventions that are harmful to mankind. Michael tells Jovi that It's time to go home, so Jovi calls back her {{p|Minun}}, Mimi, and follows Michael back to the lab. Jovi continues saying Michael was lost when Lily scolds her.

Jovi goes to find Aidan, as Michael talks to Prof. Krane and obtains the Snag Machine. Aidan adds a Shadow Monitor to the P★DA, and Professor Krane goes to ready the battle sim. However, some men come in and take Professor Krane away. Michael goes outside and finds everyone knocked out. Michael then battles the leader, [[Naps]], who is using a [[Shadow Pokémon|shadow]] {{p|Teddiursa}}, which Michael snags. Prof. Krane is then dragged away by the kidnappers, as Michael watches in despair. Jovi is crying, and everyone looks sad, Aidan says Prof. Krane is crucial to the Purification Chamber project, and that there is nothing they can do. Lily then says they can complete it themselves, though Aidan says it is hopeless. Lily says they are on the verge of finishing and walks off, and Michael follows, starting his journey.

==Characters==
[[File:Michael_2.png|thumb|Michael, as he appears in Pokémon XD]]
{{main|:Category:XD characters}}
The [[player character|hero]] of Pokémon XD is a young boy named [[Michael]], Trainer of an Eevee. Michael lives with his mother, [[Lily (XD)|Lily]], and his younger sister [[Jovi]]. [[Professor Krane]], a scientist researching Pokémon purification and a family friend, often assists him. A handful of other characters also appear, some returning from {{pkmn|Colosseum}} and some new.

The crime organization [[Cipher]] returns in the game with renewed plans. The syndicate includes five new admins: [[Lovrina]], [[Snattle]], [[Gorigan]], [[Ardos]] and [[Eldes]] hired by the team's [[Greevil|boss]]. [[Miror B.]] also appears in the game with new scopes in mind.

==Locations==
{{main|:Category:XD locations}}
The game's setting is in the [[Orre]] region, which has been altered after the five years that have passed. More [[wild Pokémon]] have started appearing, but Orre's land is still much less inhabited than other [[regions]]. Pokémon XD features locations not present in Colosseum, as well as landmarks such as [[Mt. Battle]] returning.

===Generation IV===
* {{p|Munchlax}}

These Pokémon are not catchable, but they have special roles in the game. The Herbalist's Munchlax will often appear at a Poké Spot and make the hero receive a false alarm that a wild Pokémon has appeared to eat his Poké Snacks. When the hero finds Munchlax, the Herbalist will appear to take it back to her store, and she will offer the hero ten more Poké Snacks for his trouble.

A girl's Bonsly can be found inside the [[S.S. Libra]] after it appears in the desert. This Bonsly is apparently a Pokémon that Cipher forgot to take to [[Cipher Key Lair]]. After saving Bonsly and taking it to the girl in [[Pyrite Town]], she will allow the hero to play a special [[Battle Bingo#Bonsly Card|bingo card]] at [[Realgam Tower]], which features Bonsly as a usable Pokémon.

==Connectivity==
Players can transfer snagged Pokémon from Pokémon XD to any of the portable [[Generation III]] games: [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby, Sapphire]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, LeafGreen]] and {{v|Emerald}}. This transference functions identically to the [[trade|trading]] function in the [[main series]] games, but can only happen in [[Phenac City]].
* In order to do the above, one needs to have completed the sidequest to unlock trading with Hoenn-based games in FireRed and LeafGreen.
* Through exploitation of differences in linkup requirements, players can send Pokémon from XD to one of the handheld Hoenn games without beating the Elite Four, trading first to a game that has done so, trading from that to {{g|Colosseum}}, and trading from Colosseum to the Hoenn game.

==Trivia==
* The "XD" in the title stands for 'e'''X'''tra '''D'''imension'.
* Though {{p|Lugia}} is the main focus of the game, it has the second highest level of all snaggable [[Shadow Pokémon]] in this game (tied with {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, and {{p|Salamence}}). The Shadow Pokémon of the highest level in this game is a {{p|Dragonite}}.
* Pokémon XD is only the second true sequel Pokémon game, after the [[Generation II]] games, which are a sequel to [[Generation I]].
** Before the release of Pokémon XD, Reggie Fils-Aime stated that Pokémon XD would not be a sequel to {{pkmn|Colosseum}}, but rather a whole new game, having a similar style to {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}.
* Trainers that were in Colosseum who also appear in this game tend to still have the same Pokémon, but their levels and even stages of evolution are sometimes lower than they were in Colosseum.
* If one trades a Pokémon from {{g|Colosseum}} to a [[Game Boy Advance]] game and then to this game, it will say the Pokémon was met in a distant land, even though both Colosseum and XD take place in Orre. A similar oddity occurs if the reverse is done.
* If a player pre-ordered this game, they could receive a limited edition [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] skin featuring [[Shadow Lugia]] or, {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Eevee}}, and [[Michael]].
* In the game, the player can capture Lugia, then Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres.
** Coincidentally, in ''[[M02|The Power of One]],'' [[Lawrence III|the antagonist]] of the movie captures Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres to capture Lugia.
* The game's name may be a reference to Lugia's codename before the release of Gold and Silver, Pokémon X.
* Like in Pokémon Colosseum, Shadow Pokémon are banned from VS mode. Despite this, there are no restrictions on non-Shadow Pokémon that know [[Shadow move]]s (given to them by a cheating device). The same lack of restrictions also apply to {{p|Bonsly}}. It is unknown why this occurs.
* Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness and {{g|Colosseum}} are the only RPG Pokémon games released after {{game|Crystal}} not to give the player the choice of playing as either a boy or a girl.

Orderly Chaos: /* Balloons */

[[File:Skittytv.png|thumb|500px|Cute TV]]
An '''ornament''' is a type of [[item]] introduced in [[Generation III]], debuting in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. This is used to describe all decorative items which do not fall into the categories of [[chair]]s, [[cushion]]s, [[desk]]s, {{pkmn|doll}}s, [[mat]]s, [[plant]]s, or [[poster]]s. They are used to decorate [[secret base]]s.

==Generation III==
===Bricks===
These can be bought at the [[Slateport City]] marketplace. They act as desks, but can only have one doll or cushion on them at a time.

*[[File:RedBrickSprite.png]] Red Brick - {{PDollar}}500
*[[File:YellowBrickSprite.png]] Yellow Brick - {{PDollar}}500
*[[File:BlueBrickSprite.png]] Blue Brick - {{PDollar}}500

===Balloons===
These can be bought at the [[Slateport City]] marketplace. They are a type of small ornament that break when stepped on.

*[[File:YellowBalloonSprite.png]] Yellow Balloon - {{PDollar}}500
*[[File:BlueBalloonSprite.png]] Blue Balloon - {{PDollar}}500

===Tents===
The [[Trick Master]] gives one of these as a prize for going through the [[Trick House]] eight times. In {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby|s}}, he gives a Red Tent, and in {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Sapphire|s}}, he gives a Blue Tent. In {{game|Emerald}}, players choose between the two tents.

*[[File:BlueTentSprite.png]] Blue Tent

===Breakable ornaments===
These are sold at the [[Lilycove Department Store]] during their Rooftop Sale. When touched or walked through, they break, but repair themselves if the player leaves the secret base and comes back.

*[[File:SilverShieldSprite.png]] Silver Shield - 50 battles
*[[File:GoldShieldSprite.png]] Gold Shield - 100 battles

The Glass Ornament is given after getting all five {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} pictures hung in the [[Lilycove Museum]]. To get a picture, the player must have not only won a [[Ribbon]] for the Master Rank in one of the five categories of [[Pokémon Contest]]s, but also scored enough points in the respective Contest. Aside from its color, The Glass Ornament is identical to the statue found in the Lilycove Museum, and appears to be based on {{p|Pidgeot}}.

Snowpoint Temple

2012-12-10T04:29:02Z

Orderly Chaos:

}}
The '''Snowpoint Temple''' (Japanese: '''キッサキしんでん''' ''Kissaki Temple'') is a location in [[Snowpoint City]]. It is home to [[legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Regigigas}}. The temple cannot be entered until the [[National Pokédex]] has been obtained.

Regigigas appears on the bottom floor as a statue and will not awaken unless the [[legendary golems]]—{{p|Regice}}, {{p|Regirock}} and {{p|Registeel}}—are in the player's [[party]]. The temple has six floors, one ground and five basements, and has many puzzles involving sliding on [[ice tile]]s.

==Geography==
The Snowpoint Temple is a temple at the northern-most point of the [[Sinnoh]] region. Throughout the temple are {{DL|Ice tile|Slippery ice tile|ice-sliding}} puzzles (much like in the Ice Path in [[Johto]]), and at one point {{m|Strength}} is necessary to obtain an item. The wild Pokémon that can be found inside the temple are mostly [[cave]] and {{type|Ice}} Pokémon. The Snowpoint Temple has no Trainers; only the chosen are permitted to enter the temple. On the bottom floor of the temple there is a immobilized statue of {{p|Regigigas}}. This Regigigas statue will animate when {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}} are all in the player's party and can be battled and captured.

==In the anime==
[[File:Snowpoint Temple anime.png|thumb|230px|right|In the anime]]
The Snowpoint Temple briefly appeared in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]''. Unlike the games, [[Maria]] is the Temple Guardian.

In ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]'', the {{p|Regigigas}} residing in it went on rampage after [[J]] destroyed the three pillars which protected it. However, it was calmed down by the end of the episode. {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}} later released his {{DL|Brandon's Regis|Regirock}}, {{DL|Brandon's Regis|Registeel}} and {{DL|Brandon's Regis|Regice}} to undertake the position of Regigigas's guardians.

== Indigo Plateau ==

[[File:Indigo Plateau Center HGSS.png|thumb|Inside the lobby]]
{{sign|DPcity|header}}
{{sign|DPcity|Indigo Plateau The Ultimate Goal for Trainers! Pokémon League HQ}}
{{sign|DPcity|footer}}

The [[Indigo Plateau]] is where Trainers come to challenge the Pokémon League and prove that they have what it takes to be the best. The game's almost over... well, not really. After defeating the {{DL|Elite Four|Generation II and IV|Elite Four}} and the {{pkmn|Champion}}, you'll get to travel through [[Kanto]] as well.

The {{DL|Elite Four|Generation II and IV|Elite Four}} members and the Chamipon aren't called "Elite" or "League Champ" for nothing, so you should train your Pokémon team to '''at least level 45''' before challenging them. Unlike your battle with the {{tc|Kimono Girl}}s, you'll have the chance to save your game and use your items between each battle; however, you '''won't have access to a Pokémon Center''', so make sure to stock up on {{DL|Potion|Full Restore}}s, {{DL|Potion|Hyper Potions, Max Potions}}, {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Full Heal}}s, and [[Revive]]s. Other healing items, such as Lemonade, Moomoo Milk or other drinks and Antidote, Parlyz Heal or other status ailment healing items are also useful. The old man and his {{p|Abra}} are still here from [[Generation II]], but aren't feeling as useful anymore, since more and more Trainers have been {{m|fly}}ing home when they get discouraged, rather than {{m|teleport}}.

In order to be well-prepared for the next five battles, it is important to bring a team with a wide range of types:

{| align="center" style="background: #{{soulsilver color dark}}; -moz-border-radius: 10px; border: 5px solid #{{heartgold color}}"

| League Champion ({{type|Dragon}})
| Offensively: {{ic|Ice}} {{ic|Rock}} {{ic|Dragon}} {{ic|Electric}} {{ic|Water}} Defensively: {{ic|Steel}}
|}

The above-listed defensively advantageous type are only good at defending attacks of the types that the specific Elite Four member or Champion specializes in(such as using Steel-type Pokémon against Champion's Dragon-type Pokémon). Their Pokémon have more than 1 type of moves that '''may cover their weaknesses''', so be extremely careful.

Assemble your best team, '''save your game''', and talk to the guard to enter the first room.
Your {{type|Dark}}, {{type|Rock}}, {{type|Electric}} or {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon should be the lead. {{type|Ice}} are also OK, but you should save it for the Champion battle.

=== Elite Four ===
==== Battle 1: Will ====
[[File:Will Room HGSS.png|thumb|Will's room]]

The first battle is against [[Will]] and his mind-numbing {{type|Psychic}}s. Take him down with {{type|Ghost}}, {{type|Bug}} and {{type|Dark}} moves.

As part of the Psychic-type, all of his Pokémon can inflict a lot of damage with the {{m|Psychic}} move. You should also be prepared for {{p|Xatu}}'s {{m|Confuse Ray}} and {{p|Exeggutor}}'s {{m|Hypnosis}}. Ghost-type, Dark-type and Bug-type attacks — especially moves like {{m|Shadow Ball}}, {{m|Crunch}}, {{m|Megahorn}} and {{m|Bug Buzz}} — are your best offense against his team. If you chose {{p|Totodile}} as your starter, a few {{m|Crunch}}es from {{p|Feraligatr}}'s massive jaws can whip through Will's entire team without much of a problem. Aside from that, you could also use a strong {{type|Electric}} move (like {{m|Thunderbolt}}) to make short work of his {{p|Slowbro}} and his pair of Xatu. Powerful {{type|Fire}} attacks (like {{m|Flamethrower}}) are also useful against his {{p|Jynx}}. For Exeggutor, {{type|Bug}} attacks will do quadruple damage, but if you haven't got Bug-type moves Fire will work as well.

After defeating [[Will]], heal your team. There is no single type with an advantage over the second member's entire team, but you should reorganize your party with your {{type|Fire}}, {{type|Rock}}, {{type|Flying}}, {{type|Psychic}} or {{type|Ground}} in the lead, and step through the door to the second battle.

==== Battle 2: Koga ====
[[File:Koga Room HGSS.png|thumb|Koga's room]]

The second battle is against [[Koga]], former [[Gym Leader]] of [[Kanto]]'s [[Fuchsia City]], and his group of venomous {{type|Poison}}s. As most of his Pokémon have a sub-type, even {{type|Ground}} and {{type|Psychic}} moves (which are super-effective against Poison) such as {{m|Earthquake}} and {{m|Psychic}} might not ensure a quick victory.

Koga's Pokémon have plenty of {{status|poison|poisonous}} attacks. You can avoid unpleasant status problems by sending a {{type|Steel}} (like {{p|Skarmory}}) into battle, because they are immune to Poison-type attacks. Poison-type Pokémon will not be poisoned. His {{p|Forretress}}'s {{m|Toxic Spikes}} move is a pain, because it can leave your Pokémon {{status|poisoned}} or {{status|badly poisoned}} when they switch into battle. If it uses this move, send in a Poison-type to get rid of those spikes. Forretress's {{m|Explosion}} is another pain because it sacrifices itself to deal a ton of damage to your Pokémon (probably knocking yours out, unless it is a {{type|Rock}} or Steel-type). Wrap up this battle in a hurry by scorching Forretress with {{type|Fire}} attacks, its only (yet major) weakness. Use Psychic-type attacks to mop up the rest of Koga's team. Ground-type attacks are super-effective against {{p|Muk}}.

Once [[Koga]] is defeated, take the opportunity to heal your team and shift your {{type|Psychic}} or {{type|Flying}} to the lead position. Step through the door to fight your third elite battle.

==== Battle 3: Bruno ====
[[File:Bruno Room HGSS.png|thumb|Bruno's room]]

The third battle is against [[Bruno]] and his bulky {{type|Fighting}}s. {{type|Flying}} and {{type|Psychic}} moves are your way to victory here.

Apart from {{p|Onix}}, Bruno's Pokémon are all pure Fighting-type. With their high {{stat|Attack}} power, their physical moves are sure to inflict serious damage. A Fighting-type's only weaknesses are Psychic-type and Flying-type attacks, so use those moves to cut their health down to size. A {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon with {{m|Hypnosis}} and {{m|Dream Eater}} may be useful for all but Onix due to the former's immunity to the Fighting type. Look out for {{p|Hitmonchan}}'s elemental punches, which can cover a wide range of an opponent's types. Bruno's strongest Pokémon -- {{p|Machamp}}, is a pain to deal with. It has the ability {{a|No Guard}}, which ensures its attacks never misses! It also has the move {{m|Rock Slide}} to hit Flying-types. Do not use {{m|Fly}} against Machamp, because its Rock Slide will hit your Pokémon twice(when your Pokémon flies up high and after your Pokémon attacks) and you will lose two chances of healing up! Your Flying-type Pokémon will be almost surely knocked out by two Rock Slides. Luckily No Guard also ensures attacks of your Pokémon always land. {{m|Surf|Flood}} the battlefield with your {{type|Water}} when his Onix shows up(Grass-type moves such as {{m|Petal Dance}}, {{m|Magical Leaf}} and {{m|Giga Drain}} works too), and the third battle is over.

After your battle with [[Bruno]], rest your team well. There is no single type with an advantage over the fourth member's entire team, just like Koga's team, but a {{type|Fighting}} or a {{type|Bug}} Pokémon should be your lead.

==== Battle 4: Karen ====
[[File:Karen Room HGSS.png|thumb|Karen's room]]

The fourth battle pits you against [[Karen]] and her cunning {{type|Dark}}s. Attack her weaknesses with {{t|Psychic}}-, {{t|Fighting}}-, and {{type|Ice}} moves. Her lead Pokémon is immune to {{type|Psychic}} attacks, so a {{type|Fighting}} is preferred for your lead Pokémon.

Out of all of Karen's Pokémon, her {{p|Gengar}} is the one to really watch out for — its {{m|Spite}} move can decimate your team's [[Power Points]]. Gengar's {{m|Destiny Bond}} will bring your Pokémon down when Gengar faints. Target its weaknesses and attack carefully. {{p|Houndoom}} is a tough foe, too — it likes to skyrocket its {{stat|Sp. Attack|Sp. Atk}} with {{m|Nasty Plot}}, then go on the offensive with {{m|Dark Pulse}} or {{m|Flamethrower}}. Hit back where it hurts by using Fighting-type, {{type|Water}} and {{type|Ground}} attacks. Houndoom is very fragile(its {{stat|Defense}} is very low), so a strong Physical-based move will surely knock it out.

Once [[Karen]] has fallen, heal up your team. Swap your {{type|Electric}} into the lead if you want to knock out the Champion's first Pokémon in 1 turn. Keep in mind that you will not able to switch the order of your Pokémon once you walk up the stairs in Champion's room.

=== League Champion ===
[[File:Champion Room HGSS.png|thumb|The Champion's room]]

With the {{DL|Elite Four|Generation II and IV|Elite Four}} behind you, there is only one person left standing between you and the [[Hall of Fame]]: [[Lance]], master of {{t|dragon}}s and the Pokémon Trainer who helped you in Team Rocket HQ, Mahogany Town! He is the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Pokémon League]]! This will be your toughest battle yet, but find a way to slay his dragons, and you'll be recognized as the most powerful Trainer in all of [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]]!

Lance opens with his {{p|Gyarados}}, which will be fried by a strong {{m|Thunderbolt}} or other Electric-type moves. To show his mastery of the Dragon-type, Lance has raised not 1, not 2, but 3 {{p|Dragonite}}. Two are on level 49, but his level 50 Dragonite can do major damage with {{m|Outrage}}, and its {{m|Fire Blast}} will cause you a lot of pain, too. His dragon trio all know the {{m|Hyper Beam}} move, and each has one of the strongest elemental attacks ({{m|Blizzard}}, {{m|Thunder}}, and {{m|Fire Blast}}) as well. Ice-type attacks will do quadruple damage to them, so hopefully you have a high-level Pokémon with {{m|Blizzard}} or {{m|Ice Beam}}. Be extremely careful if you decide to use Dragon-type Pokémon against his Dragonite -- your own Dragon-type will be hit super effectively as well. Charizard, although it appears intimidating, is easily defeated with a strong Rock-type move like {{m|Stone Edge}}. Avoid sending a Water-type to fight his {{p|Aerodactyl}}, due to its {{m|Thunder Fang}} move — use a Steel-type instead. If you can only use a Water-type against Aerodactyl, make sure that it can outspeed the Rock/Flying-type or can take at least 1 hit of Thunder Fang. If you don't have an Ice-type move, all 6 of his Pokémon are weak to {{type|Rock}} attacks(because all of them have {{type|Flying}} as their secondary type), so moves like {{m|Rock Slide}} or {{m|Stone Edge}} are also super effective. Defeat Lance's draconian army and they will be nothing but a memory.

After finally defeating the [[Pokémon League]], [[Lance]] compliments you, saying how much you've grown with your Pokémon. However, he is interrupted by [[DJ Mary]], who is looking for an interview with the newly-crowned [[Pokémon Champion]]. She's a little late to see the battle, but it's not her fault - [[Professor Oak]] isn't as quick as he used to be. He applauds your domination of the Pokémon League, and tells you that your Pokémon persevered because they believed in you as a Trainer. Mary is quick to try for that interview, but Lance steps in to take you away from the noise, much to Mary's dismay.

Lance takes you to the [[Hall of Fame]] room, and tells you that it has been a long time since he was last here. He explains the machine in front of you, saying that this is where Pokémon League Champions are honored, along with their courageous Pokémon. He activates the machine, registering you and your partners as Hall of Fame members.

As the credits roll, you'll get to see all the major characters of [[Johto]], including {{prof|Elm}}, the [[Gym Leader]]s, and the {{DL|Elite Four|Generation II and IV|Elite Four}} in a quick cutscene.

"The End" appears on the screen and the game saves, but that's not truly the end...

=== Later... ===

Once you've defeated {{ga|Silver}} inside [[Mt. Moon]], and battled alongside him against Lance and [[Clair]] in [[Dragon's Den]], your rival will appear in the lobby every Monday and Wednesday, waiting to challenge you to a rematch. His Pokémon are at their highest levels, so prepare for a tough fight.

{{sign|DPcity|footer}}

The [[Indigo Plateau]] is where Trainers come to challenge the Pokémon League and prove that they have what it takes to be the best. The game's almost over... well, not really. After defeating the {{DL|Elite Four|Generation II and IV|Elite Four}} and the {{pkmn|Champion}}, you'll get to travel through [[Kanto]] as well.

The {{DL|Elite Four|Generation II and IV|Elite Four}} members and the Chamipon aren't called "Elite" or "League Champ" for nothing, so you should train your Pokémon team to '''at least level 45''' before challenging them. Unlike your battle with the {{tc|Kimono Girl}}s, you'll have the chance to save your game and use your items between each battle; however, you '''won't have access to a Pokémon Center''', so make sure to stock up on {{DL|Potion|Full Restore}}s, {{DL|Potion|Hyper Potions, Max Potions}}, {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Full Heal}}s, and [[Revive]]s. Other healing items, such as Lemonade, Moomoo Milk or other drinks and Antidote, Parlyz Heal or other status ailment healing items are also useful. The old man and his {{p|Abra}} are still here from [[Generation II]], but aren't feeling as useful anymore, since more and more Trainers have been {{m|fly}}ing home when they get discouraged, rather than {{m|teleport}}.

In order to be well-prepared for the next five battles, it is important to bring a team with a wide range of types:

{| align="center" style="background: #{{soulsilver color dark}}; -moz-border-radius: 10px; border: 5px solid #{{heartgold color}}"

| League Champion ({{type|Dragon}})

|}

The above-listed defensively advantageous type are only good at defending attacks of the types that the specific Elite Four member or Champion specializes in(such as using Steel-type Pokémon against Champion's Dragon-type Pokémon). Their Pokémon have more than 1 type of moves that '''may cover their weaknesses''', so be extremely careful.

Assemble your best team, '''save your game''', and talk to the guard to enter the first room.
Your {{type|Dark}}, {{type|Rock}}, {{type|Electric}} or {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon should be the lead. {{type|Ice}} are also OK, but you should save it for the Champion battle.

=== Elite Four ===
==== Battle 1: Will ====
[[File:Will Room HGSS.png|thumb|Will's room]]

The first battle is against [[Will]] and his mind-numbing {{type|Psychic}}s. Take him down with {{type|Ghost}}, {{type|Bug}} and {{type|Dark}} moves.

As part of the Psychic-type, all of his Pokémon can inflict a lot of damage with the {{m|Psychic}} move. You should also be prepared for {{p|Xatu}}'s {{m|Confuse Ray}} and {{p|Exeggutor}}'s {{m|Hypnosis}}. Ghost-type, Dark-type and Bug-type attacks — especially moves like {{m|Shadow Ball}}, {{m|Crunch}}, {{m|Megahorn}} and {{m|Bug Buzz}} — are your best offense against his team. If you chose {{p|Totodile}} as your starter, a few {{m|Crunch}}es from {{p|Feraligatr}}'s massive jaws can whip through Will's entire team without much of a problem. Aside from that, you could also use a strong {{type|Electric}} move (like {{m|Thunderbolt}}) to make short work of his {{p|Slowbro}} and his pair of Xatu. Powerful {{type|Fire}} attacks (like {{m|Flamethrower}}) are also useful against his {{p|Jynx}}. For Exeggutor, {{type|Bug}} attacks will do quadruple damage, but if you haven't got Bug-type moves Fire will work as well.

After defeating [[Will]], heal your team. There is no single type with an advantage over the second member's entire team, but you should reorganize your party with your {{type|Fire}}, {{type|Rock}}, {{type|Flying}}, {{type|Psychic}} or {{type|Ground}} in the lead, and step through the door to the second battle.

==== Battle 2: Koga ====
[[File:Koga Room HGSS.png|thumb|Koga's room]]

The second battle is against [[Koga]], former [[Gym Leader]] of [[Kanto]]'s [[Fuchsia City]], and his group of venomous {{type|Poison}}s. As most of his Pokémon have a sub-type, even {{type|Ground}} and {{type|Psychic}} moves (which are super-effective against Poison) such as {{m|Earthquake}} and {{m|Psychic}} might not ensure a quick victory.

Koga's Pokémon have plenty of {{status|poison|poisonous}} attacks. You can avoid unpleasant status problems by sending a {{type|Steel}} (like {{p|Skarmory}}) into battle, because they are immune to Poison-type attacks. Poison-type Pokémon will not be poisoned. His {{p|Forretress}}'s {{m|Toxic Spikes}} move is a pain, because it can leave your Pokémon {{status|poisoned}} or {{status|badly poisoned}} when they switch into battle. If it uses this move, send in a Poison-type to get rid of those spikes. Forretress's {{m|Explosion}} is another pain because it sacrifices itself to deal a ton of damage to your Pokémon (probably knocking yours out, unless it is a {{type|Rock}} or Steel-type). Wrap up this battle in a hurry by scorching Forretress with {{type|Fire}} attacks, its only (yet major) weakness. Use Psychic-type attacks to mop up the rest of Koga's team. Ground-type attacks are super-effective against {{p|Muk}}.

Once [[Koga]] is defeated, take the opportunity to heal your team and shift your {{type|Psychic}} or {{type|Flying}} to the lead position. Step through the door to fight your third elite battle.

==== Battle 3: Bruno ====
[[File:Bruno Room HGSS.png|thumb|Bruno's room]]

The third battle is against [[Bruno]] and his bulky {{type|Fighting}}s. {{type|Flying}} and {{type|Psychic}} moves are your way to victory here.

Apart from {{p|Onix}}, Bruno's Pokémon are all pure Fighting-type. With their high {{stat|Attack}} power, their physical moves are sure to inflict serious damage. A Fighting-type's only weaknesses are Psychic-type and Flying-type attacks, so use those moves to cut their health down to size. A {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon with {{m|Hypnosis}} and {{m|Dream Eater}} may be useful for all but Onix due to the former's immunity to the Fighting type. Look out for {{p|Hitmonchan}}'s elemental punches, which can cover a wide range of an opponent's types. Bruno's strongest Pokémon -- {{p|Machamp}}, is a pain to deal with. It has the ability {{a|No Guard}}, which ensures its attacks never misses! It also has the move {{m|Rock Slide}} to hit Flying-types. Do not use {{m|Fly}} against Machamp, because its Rock Slide will hit your Pokémon twice(when your Pokémon flies up high and after your Pokémon attacks) and you will lose two chances of healing up! Your Flying-type Pokémon will be almost surely knocked out by two Rock Slides. Luckily No Guard also ensures attacks of your Pokémon always land. {{m|Surf|Flood}} the battlefield with your {{type|Water}} when his Onix shows up(Grass-type moves such as {{m|Petal Dance}}, {{m|Magical Leaf}} and {{m|Giga Drain}} works too), and the third battle is over.

}}

After your battle with [[Bruno]], rest your team well. There is no single type with an advantage over the fourth member's entire team, just like Koga's team, but a {{type|Fighting}} or a {{type|Bug}} Pokémon should be your lead.

==== Battle 4: Karen ====
[[File:Karen Room HGSS.png|thumb|Karen's room]]

The fourth battle pits you against [[Karen]] and her cunning {{type|Dark}}s. Attack her weaknesses with {{t|Psychic}}-, {{t|Fighting}}-, and {{type|Ice}} moves. Her lead Pokémon is immune to {{type|Psychic}} attacks, so a {{type|Fighting}} is preferred for your lead Pokémon.

Out of all of Karen's Pokémon, her {{p|Gengar}} is the one to really watch out for — its {{m|Spite}} move can decimate your team's [[Power Points]]. Gengar's {{m|Destiny Bond}} will bring your Pokémon down when Gengar faints. Target its weaknesses and attack carefully. {{p|Houndoom}} is a tough foe, too — it likes to skyrocket its {{stat|Sp. Attack|Sp. Atk}} with {{m|Nasty Plot}}, then go on the offensive with {{m|Dark Pulse}} or {{m|Flamethrower}}. Hit back where it hurts by using Fighting-type, {{type|Water}} and {{type|Ground}} attacks. Houndoom is very fragile(its {{stat|Defense}} is very low), so a strong Physical-based move will surely knock it out.

Once [[Karen]] has fallen, heal up your team. Swap your {{type|Electric}} into the lead if you want to knock out the Champion's first Pokémon in 1 turn. Keep in mind that you will not able to switch the order of your Pokémon once you walk up the stairs in Champion's room.

=== League Champion ===
[[File:Champion Room HGSS.png|thumb|The Champion's room]]

With the {{DL|Elite Four|Generation II and IV|Elite Four}} behind you, there is only one person left standing between you and the [[Hall of Fame]]: [[Lance]], master of {{t|dragon}}s and the Pokémon Trainer who helped you in Team Rocket HQ, Mahogany Town! He is the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Pokémon League]]! This will be your toughest battle yet, but find a way to slay his dragons, and you'll be recognized as the most powerful Trainer in all of [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]]!

Lance opens with his {{p|Gyarados}}, which may as well be a lightning rod for a strong {{m|Thunderbolt}} or other Electric-type moves. As a way to show his mastery of the Dragon-type, Lance has raised not 1, not 2, but 3 {{p|Dragonite}}. Two are on level 49, but his level 50 Dragonite can do major damage with {{m|Outrage}}, and its {{m|Fire Blast}} will cause you a lot of pain, too. His dragon trio all know the {{m|Hyper Beam}} move, and each has one of the strongest elemental attacks ({{m|Blizzard}}, {{m|Thunder}}, and {{m|Fire Blast}}) as well. Use Ice-type moves against his 3 Dragonite. Be extremely careful if you use a Dragon-type Pokémon against his Dragonite -- your own Dragon-type will be hit super effectively. Avoid sending a Water-type to fight his {{p|Aerodactyl}}, due to its {{m|Thunder Fang}} move — use a Steel-type instead. If you can only use a Water-type against Aerodactyl, make sure that it can outspeed the Rock/Flying-type or can take at least 1 hit of Thunder Fang. If you don't have an Ice-type move, all 6 of his Pokémon are weak to {{type|Rock}} attacks(because all of them have {{type|Flying}} as their secondary type), so moves like {{m|Rock Slide}} or {{m|Stone Edge}} are also super effective. Defeat Lance's draconian army and they will be nothing but a memory.

After finally defeating the [[Pokémon League]], [[Lance]] compliments you, saying how much you've grown with your Pokémon. However, he is interrupted by [[DJ Mary]], who is looking for an interview with the newly-crowned [[Pokémon Champion]]. She's a little late to see the battle, but it's not her fault - [[Professor Oak]] isn't as quick as he used to be. He applauds your domination of the Pokémon League, and tells you that your Pokémon persevered because they believed in you as a Trainer. Mary is quick to try for that interview, but Lance steps in to take you away from the noise, much to Mary's dismay.

Lance takes you to the [[Hall of Fame]] room, and tells you that it has been a long time since he was last here. He explains the machine in front of you, saying that this is where Pokémon League Champions are honored, along with their courageous Pokémon. He activates the machine, registering you and your partners as Hall of Fame members.

As the credits roll, you'll get to see all the major characters of [[Johto]], including {{prof|Elm}}, the [[Gym Leader]]s, and the {{DL|Elite Four|Generation II and IV|Elite Four}} in a quick cutscene.

"The End" appears on the screen and the game saves, but that's not truly the end...

=== Later... ===

Once you've defeated {{ga|Silver}} inside [[Mt. Moon]], and battled alongside him against Lance and [[Clair]] in [[Dragon's Den]], your rival will appear in the lobby every Monday and Wednesday, waiting to challenge you to a rematch. His Pokémon are at their highest levels, so prepare for a tough fight.

Orderly Chaos: /* Info */

Hi, I'm Orderly Chaos. 

==Info==

I've been lurking around Bulbapedia since about 2008. Yes, I'm a late joiner. I signed up for an account just a short while ago so I could contribute to the site that has helped me so much. 
What else is there to tell? I've been playing Pokémon since I was around seven. My first game was Sapphire and my first DS game was Pearl, which I still have and am currently using as a storage box for all my legendaries/rare Pokémon/veteran battlers. I play Nuzlockes a lot and I'm currently doing a Platinum run.

==About me==
I'm fairly smart, if I say so myself. Not a genius, but smarter than the average population. I won't bother with telling you where I live or how old I am or stuff like that, since I don't like randomly giving my private information out to strangers. Call me paranoid, but you'll have to earn my trust first. You might notice I have a tendency to be blunt or sarcastic but that's just me. I'm also a bit of a cynic. 
Right now I'm trying to improve the grammar/quality of Bulbapedia articles. I don't edit articles a lot, but when I do I try to do the best I can.
 

Oh, and I didn't bother with posting lots of usertags but I couldn't resist posting this one:

{{User Lost the Game}}

If you need anything, feel free to contact me. I don't bite.

'''Lucario''' (Japanese: '''ルカリオ''' ''Lucario'') is a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros.]] series.

==[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]==
[[File:SSBB Lucario.png|left|thumb|200px|Lucario using {{m|Aura Sphere}}]]
Lucario can be unlocked by either playing 100 matches, completing all five target smashes with a single character, or recruiting him in the Subspace Emissary. His home stage is {{st|Spear Pillar}}.

{{SmashMoves|type=Fighting|type2=Steel|game=Brawl|Spe=Aura Sphere|SpeM=yes|SpeS=Force Palm|SpeSM=yes|SpeU=ExtremeSpeed|SpeUM=yes|SpeD=Double Team|SpeDM=yes|FS=Aura Storm}}

====Subspace Emissary====
Lucario first appears meditating on the top of Glacial Peak, where he duels Meta Knight. The player can choose to be either character, with a different cutscene showing if one wins and another if the other does, with the winner reviving the loser from their trophy state. After that, Lucario joins the main party, and goes with Snake and Meta Knight throughout the next level. Lucario teams up with Snake and Meta Knight in order to battle Peach and Zelda, who have been consumed by Subspace bugs. Once they are defeated, Lucario and the others must battle a giant robot atop the Halberd. After that, Lucario and the others meet up with the rest of the heroes and proceed to the Subspace World. After traveling through it, all of the heroes, including Lucario, are turned back into trophies by Tabuu. However, he is later revived by Luigi, Ness, King Dedede and Kirby. Lucario, along with the other characters, go through the Great Maze and defeat Tabuu, saving the world.

====[[wp:Metal Gear|Codec]] information (on Shadow Moses Island)====
:'''Mei Ling:''' "You're fighting Lucario, aren't you, Snake?"

:'''Snake:''' "Mei Ling, what's that purple fire coming out of his hands?"

:'''Mei Ling:''' "That's his 'Aura'."

:'''Snake:''' "Aura?"

:'''Mei Ling:''' "I guess you could call it his life force. Lucario can use his own Aura and turn it into power. Every time Lucario's damage increases, his aura gains strength, making his attacks more powerful. So don't think you've got him beat just because his health is down."

:'''Snake:''' "The cornered rat will bite the cat... Sounds like trouble."

:'''Mei Ling:''' "Hey! When did you become so good with proverbs?!"

:'''Snake:''' "You must have rubbed off on me."

:'''Mei Ling:''' "Well, come back in one piece, and I'll teach you all the Chinese proverbs you can handle."''

====Trophy information====
[[File:Lucario Aura Storm.png|right|thumb|200px|Lucario using its Final Smash]]
=====Lucario=====
''An Aura Pokémon. It can track energy called Aura, which is given off by all living creatures. It's a unique combination of both Fighting and Steel-type Pokémon. Lucario evolves from Riolu during the day if its happiness has reached its maximum point. It specializes in attacks that use Aura energy, like Dark Pulse and a can't-miss technique, Aura Sphere.''

=====Aura Storm=====
''Lucario's Final Smash. After flying off the screen, Lucario reappears in its center. It then launches a powerful Aura attack against all foes within a certain distance. The key to this attack is the ability to change its angle--it's a must sweep slowly left and right to hit selected enemies multiple times. The last blow will send the victim flying away.''

'''Pikachu''' (Japanese: '''ピカチュウ''' ''Pikachu'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' series. Along with {{smw|Mario}}, {{zw|Link}}, and {{wk|Kirby}}, Pikachu is one of the most notable fighters in the game.

==[[Super Smash Bros.]]==
[[File:Pikachu Smash64.gif|thumb|right|100px|Artwork of Pikachu in [[Super Smash Bros.]]]]
Pikachu is a playable character and the only Pokémon that is playable from the start of the game. Its main stage is {{st|Saffron City}}.

In the hands of a skilled player, Pikachu is not to be taken lightly. Alongside electrical attacks, it has very good aerial attacks and superb recovery. Because of this, top-level SSB players have placed Pikachu at the top of their list, theoretically making it the best character in the game.

{{SmashMoves|type=Electric|game=Smash|Spe={{sbw|Thunder Jolt}}|SpeU=Quick Attack|SpeUM=yes|SpeD=Thunder|SpeDM=yes}}

{{-}}

==[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]==
[[File:Pikachu Melee.jpg|250px||thumb|Pikachu in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]]]
Pikachu is a returning playable character and the only Pokémon that is playable from the start of the game. Its main stage is {{st|Pokémon Stadium}}.

While Pikachu's play style remained the same, it was powered down in the sequel. The tier lists for Melee place Pikachu in either the Middle or Low tier.

{{SmashMoves|type=Electric|game=Melee|Spe={{sbw|Thunder Jolt}}|SpeS=Skull Bash|SpeSM=yes|SpeU=Quick Attack|SpeUM=yes|SpeD=Thunder|SpeDM=yes}}

===Trophy information===
====Classic Mode====
''It's safe to say that Pikachu is the most famous and popular of all Pokémon. It has electric pouches in both cheeks; when in danger, it shoots electricity at its enemies. Although Pikachu can evolve into Raichu by exposure to a Thunderstone, many Trainers like Pikachu so much that they don't let it evolve.''

====Adventure Mode====
''While its electrical attacks, such as {{m|Thunder}} and Thunder Jolt, are powerful, Pikachu is at its best speeding around the fray and waiting for its chance to strike. You can control the path of Pikachu's two-directional {{m|Quick Attack}}, allowing you to jump twice. Hold down the B Button to charge up {{m|Skull Bash}}.''

====All-Star Mode====
''The angle of the Control Stick controls the direction of Pikachu's Quick Attack. Pikachu will move blindingly fast, and it will also cause damage to any character it runs into. Move the Control Stick during Quick Attack and Pikachu will move in up to two directions. Be sure to check out the ceilings on the level when you use Thunder.''

{{-}}
==[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]==
[[File:SSBB Pikachu.png|250px||thumb|Pikachu in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
Pikachu is a returning playable character to the franchise. Its Final Smash move is {{m|Volt Tackle}}.
It has different designs for hats including Red's hat from {{game|Red and Blue|s}}.

{{SmashMoves|type=Electric|game=Brawl|Spe={{sbw|Thunder Jolt}}|SpeS=Skull Bash|SpeSM=yes|SpeU=Quick Attack|SpeUM=yes|SpeD=Thunder|SpeDM=yes|FS=Volt Tackle|FSM=yes}}

===Subspace Emissary===
Pikachu is first seen in the "Research Facility" stage where its electricity is being used to power a generator. Responding to its shrieks of pain and taking pity on it, {{met|Zero Suit Samus}} saves it by destroying the generator. The two then face a group of {{sbw|R.O.B. Sentry|R.O.B. Sentries}}. Pikachu then joins Samus to search for her stolen power suit. The suit is soon recovered and then are soon confronted by {{met|Ridley}}, who grabs Samus and begins dragging her across the walls. Pikachu then returns the favor as it zaps Ridley with a powerful Thunder attack. After, Pikachu can be used to battle the final boss.

===[[wp:Metal Gear|Codec]] information (on Shadow Moses Island)===
*'''{{smw|Mei Ling}}:''' ''"Ooh! How cuute!"''
*'''{{smw|Solid Snake}}:''' ''"What? The [[List of Pokémon by color#Yellow|yellow thing]]?"''
*'''Mei Ling:''' ''"That's Pikachu. It's a [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|Pokémon]]. They're popular all over the {{pkmn|world}}, you know. And it may look cute, but be careful. It can store large amounts of {{t|electric}}ity in those adorable little cheeks. It'll try to pepper you with [[Pikachu (Pokémon)#Smash Bros.-only moves|electric shocks]]."''
*'''Solid Snake:''' ''"Couldn't be much worse than {{wp|Ocelot (Metal Gear)|Ocelot's}} old torture device..."''
*'''Mei Ling:''' ''"Oh, and, Snake?"''
*'''Solid Snake:''' ''"What?"''
*'''Mei Ling:''' ''"I was wondering, could you maybe try and {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} Pikachu for me? Pleeeeease?"''
*'''Solid Snake:''' ''"Give me a break! What do I look like, a [[Pokémon Trainer]]?"''
*'''Mei Ling:''' ''"Fine... Sorry I asked."''

===Trophy information===
[[File:SSBB Volt Tackle.png|thumb|right|200px|Pikachu's Final Smash]]
====Pikachu====
''A Mouse Pokémon. Its lightning-bolt tail and round cheeks are its trademarks. When danger draws near, it uses tiny electric pouches within its cheeks to discharge electricity. When it's really fired up, it unleashes thunderbolts on its rivals. It's said to recharge when it's {{status|Sleep|sleeping}}. It evolves into {{p|Raichu}}.''

====Volt Tackle====
''Pikachu, transformed into a ball of light that can slam into foes. It can also fly to chase down those who try to jump out of range. Sparks get stronger when you press the attack button. However, its increased inertia makes midair movement tough. If you get carried away flying, the effect will end, and you'll destroy yourself. Be careful it doesn't happen to you.''

The '''Pokémon Trainer''' (Japanese: '''ポケモントレーナー''' ''Pokémon Trainer'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.

==Core mechanics==
Unlike the other characters, Pokémon Trainer doesn't actually fight his opponents himself. Instead, he sends out his [[party|Pokémon team]] of {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}} to fight on his behalf, each with its own set of moves, strengths, and weaknesses. The Trainer is able to switch between the three Pokémon using the Down-Special move, [[Pokémon Change]], which each Pokémon has access to. Switching is encouraged for if a Pokémon fights for too long, it will gradually weaken. The Pokémon Trainer's [[Final Smash]], Triple Finish, is also shared amongst the three Pokémon. 
During a fight, the Pokémon Trainer can be seen in the background, using hand signals and commands to direct his Pokémon, and running across the screen (on large stages) so he can be near his Pokémon at all times. When his Pokémon are defeated, he remains in the background, but pulls his hat over his eyes and assumes a defeated posture.

Squirtle is a fast, lightweight fighter and uses various attacks using its shell and jets of water. It can use {{m|Waterfall}} to dash upward on a wave of water to recover from falls, {{m|Withdraw}}, to retreats to its shell and propel itself forward, shooting water from its shell. It also uses {{m|Water Gun}} to push enemies backward with a stream of chargeable water. Because of its lightweight build, it excels in aerial combat but is easy to knock off the stage and KO. It uses {{m|Hydro Pump}} in the Pokémon Trainer's Final Smash, {{DL|Final Smash|Triple Finish}}.

In the {{sbw|Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|Subspace Emissary}}, Squirtle is the first Pokémon to appear alongside the Pokémon Trainer. It is sent out to assist a distraught {{wb|Lucas}}.

In many ways, Ivysaur is the balance between the heavyweight, hard-hitting {{p|Charizard}} and the lightweight, agile {{p|Squirtle}}. It uses mostly [[physical]] {{type|Grass}} attacks, such as {{m|Bullet Seed}}, a rapid upward hitting move, and {{m|Vine Whip}}, a recovery move where vines are shot out to latch onto edges of a stage and pulled Ivysaur up. It also uses the projectile attack {{m|Razor Leaf}}. It uses {{m|SolarBeam}} in the Pokémon Trainer's Final Smash, {{DL|Final Smash|Triple Finish}}.

In the {{sbw|Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|Subspace Emissary}}, Ivysaur is found by the Pokémon Trainer, Squirtle, and Lucas after an encounter with {{wb|Ness}}'s captor, {{smw|Wario}}. This allows the Pokémon Trainer to use [[Pokémon Change]] in the story mode.

Charizard is the Pokémon Trainer's powerhouse, boasting heavy-hitting moves and excellent recovery, but lacking in speed. It uses a variety of mostly physical attacks, such as {{m|Rock Smash}}, a powerful attack towards enemies directly in front, and {{m|Fly}}, a recovery move that sends Charizard skywards and allows it to glide. It can also use Flamethrower to attack from a short distance, although its power decreases over time. It uses {{m|Fire Blast}} in the Pokémon Trainer's Final Smash, {{DL|Final Smash|Triple Finish}}.

In the {{sbw|Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|Subspace Emissary}}, Charizard is found shortly after Ivysaur, completing the Trainer's team.

==Subspace Emissary==
The Pokémon Trainer is first encountered by {{wb|Lucas}} in the Ruined Zoo. For most of the game, the two are paired together. Pokémon Trainer's mission is to capture Charizard and Ivysaur while Lucas's is to save {{wb|Ness}}. On their way to {{sbw|the Ruins}}, the two are ambushed by {{smw|Wario}}, who is eventually defeated by the two. Later in {{sbw|The Ruined Hall}}, they are attacked by {{sbw|Galleom}}. Once defeated, it sets off a time bomb. Lucas saves the Pokémon Trainer, and they are then both saved by {{wk|Meta Knight}} who carries them away from the explosion, which sucks up Wario's trophy into Subspace. From then on the two join Meta Knight, {{sbw|Marth}}, and {{sbw|Ike}} on their quest to take down the {{sbw|Subspace Army}}.

'''Rayquaza''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レックウザ''' ''Rayquaza'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Flying}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

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

Rayquaza is the version mascot of {{game|Emerald}}, appearing on the boxart of the game. It serves to end the conflict between {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}} when [[Team Magma]]'s leader [[Maxie]] and [[Team Aqua]]'s leader [[Archie]] awakened them.

Along with Kyogre and Groudon, Rayquaza is a part of the [[Weather trio]], serving as its [[trio master]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Rayquaza is a large, mostly green, serpent-like creature with red-tipped, rudder-like wings on its shoulders and down its body, and similarly-patterned fins on the tip of its tail. Yellow ring-like symbols run across the length of Rayquaza's body and it has an additional yellow ring on top of its head. Rayquaza has two limbs with three-clawed carpals, and two long, flat, horn-like structures on its head, with two smaller horns below them. Rayquaza has a prominent gumline, with only two discernible fangs on the tip of its upper snout; the other teeth seem to be covered completely by gum tissue. It has small, yellow eyes with black pupils, which resemble those of both {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}}.

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

===Special abilities===
It is notable for its ability to [[trio master|soothe]] the other members of the [[Weather trio]] if they ever fight. Rayquaza is capable of shooting various elemental attacks from its mouth, which are incredibly destructive in power. Because of its slim and coiling structure, Rayquaza can also fly at blinding speeds and maneuver with ease despite its large size. It is also noted for its ability to fly so high into the atmosphere that it can become completely invisible from the ground. Also, since Rayquaza is a {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon, it can learn {{m|Draco Meteor}}. It can also learn {{m|Hyper Beam}} naturally, and learn {{m|Giga Impact}} via [[TM68|the TM]].

===Behavior===
Rayquaza constantly flies around the globe in the ozone layer, stopping and descending only on certain locations to rest. It is extremely territorial and will attack any intruders of its home, going to great lengths to destroy them. Due to the fact that it can calm the other members of [[Weather trio|its trio]], it can be seen to be considered a leader.

===Habitat===
[[File:Rare.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon}}]]
Rayquaza usually lives high in the {{wp|ozone layer}}, but may come to rest on the [[Sky Pillar]], [[Sky Tower Summit]], [[Sky Stairway]], or in the [[Embedded Tower]]. Its favorite air component is {{wp|ozone}}, and it is known to discharge the component when it hibernates.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Rayquaza consumes water particles in the atmosphere.

==In the anime==
[[File:Rayquaza movie 7.png|thumb|275px|right|Rayquaza in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Rayquaza (M07)]]====
{{OBP|Rayquaza|M07}} first appears in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''. It fights against {{OBP|Deoxys|M07}}, believing it to be invading the Sky High Pokémon's territory when Deoxys was in fact looking for its friend, another Deoxys.

====Other====
A real Rayquaza appeared in its anime episode debut in outer space in ''[[DP142|Where No Togepi Has Gone Before!]]'', where it used {{m|Hyper Beam}} on the rocket ship Ash and {{ashfr}} and Team Rocket were on, presumably protecting its territory.

===Minor appearances===
A Rayquaza had a cameo appearance at the beginning introduction of ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', where it ended up captured by Team Rocket operatives.

In ''[[DP043|Malice In Wonderland!]]'', a Rayquaza appeared under ownership of [[Cynthia]], but as an illusion created by {{p|Mismagius}}. When Mismagius fuses with Rayquaza, it becomes the same color as the Mismagius, making it look like a Shiny Rayquaza.

A Rayquaza had a cameo appearance at the beginning of ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' and ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

==In the manga==
[[File:PS261.png|thumb|Rayquaza in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
To stop the battle between Kyogre and Groudon, {{adv|Wally}} and [[Norman]] trained at the [[Sky Tower]] and woke up Rayquaza. Five years earlier, {{adv|Ruby}}'s victory over a {{p|Salamence}} was the reason Norman was banned from the Gym Leader test as the wounded Salamence rampaged in a lab, accidentally letting Rayquaza, who was in captivity at that time, free. Having been ordered to recapture Rayquaza in the five years he was prohibited from attaining a Gym Leader position, Norman attended the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] and scrutinized its tracks, finally discovering that it slumbered atop the [[Sky Pillar]] when it wasn't scouring beyond Earth's atmosphere. With Wally's help, he was able to awaken and take command of Rayquaza, using it to calm {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} in conjunction with Ruby's {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Red Orb|Red}} and {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Blue Orb}}s. When Norman fell under the strain of controlling Rayquaza without a proper medium, it escaped once again, and has not been seen since.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Rayquaza appears in [[The Subspace Emissary]] mode as a boss. After {{smw|Diddy Kong}} lands on the lake portion of the Smash World, Rayquaza lunges out of the water and snatches him, furious at being disrupted. Just as it is about to eat him {{smw|Fox McCloud|Fox}} ejects out of his ship, which had already crashed and been destroyed by Rayquaza, and rescues Diddy Kong. Enraged, Rayquaza attacks Fox with {{m|Dragon Pulse}}, but Fox reflects its attack back at it, sending it reeling back into the water. Rayquaza soon launches back out and engages in battle against Fox and Diddy Kong. 

Later, it is fought in the Great Maze level again and can be fought in the Boss Battles mode after the storyline is beaten. Its attacks in battle include {{m|ExtremeSpeed}}, {{m|Slam}}, {{m|Thunder}}, {{m|Dig}}, and {{m|Fly}}.

====Trophy Information====
''A Sky High Pokémon. It normally resides high up in the ozone layer where it flies endlessly, so it is rarely seen. However, when {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} began to fight, it appeared to calm them down. It has the ability {{a|Air Lock}}, which blocks all weather-condition effects. It has exceedingly strong abilities, and its attack power is especially remarkable.''

===NPC appearances===
[[File:RayquazaSSBB.jpg|right|thumb|Rayquaza, as it appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]
* {{g|Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire}}: Rayquaza is the focus of the third and final Bonus Field. It can only be challenged after capturing {{p|Groudon}} or {{p|Kyogre}} and will then join the circuit of bonus fields. Rayquaza will bounce along from left to right, allowing the ball to roll under it if it is up. It will sometimes use {{m|Thunder}} to paralyze the ball if it is not moving fast enough, though it does stay still while it is unleashing the attack. Rayquaza will also sometimes use {{m|ExtremeSpeed}} to create two tornadoes that cause the ball to fly up into the air for several seconds if contact is made. Rayquaza must be hit 15 times in three minutes to win. After beating the round twice, Rayquaza will be captured.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: Rayquaza acts as the final boss, living on the [[Sky Tower]]. After it is defeated, Rayquaza helps save the {{pkmn|world}} from a meteor. After the credits roll, the player can re-battle Rayquaza to recruit it.
* {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}: Rayquaza can be captured in a bonus mission after the credits.
* {{ga|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Darkness}}: Rayquaza is the guardian of the [[Seven Treasures|Sky Melodica]].

==Trivia==
* In Pokémon Emerald, Rayquaza appears to use {{m|Hyper Voice}} to calm down Groudon and Kyogre at Sootopolis, however this may also have been {{m|Roar}} since Rayquaza couldn't learn Hyper Voice in any Generation III game, though this was changed in the {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} versions.
* Rayquaza has the highest {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} of all {{type|Flying}} Pokémon.
* Rayquaza is the [[List of Pokémon by height|tallest]] [[legendary Pokémon]].
** This might be because of its length, as like any other snake-shaped Pokémon.
* Rayquaza is the only legendary Pokémon that can be caught at a higher level than the [[Elite Four]]'s Pokémon before defeating the {{Ho|Elite Four}}. This only happens in {{game|Emerald}}.
* It is said that Rayquaza will come if {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} are battling, but it didn't appear in the episodes ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]''.
** However, in Pokémon Emerald the player must get Rayquaza to stop the battle of Groudon and Kyogre in Sootopolis manually. This may mean that Rayquaza can only calm the two down but may not know when and where they are fighting.
* Out of the [[weather trio]], it is the only one with a secondary [[type]].
* Rayquaza is the only Pokémon with a [[base stats|base stat total]] of {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 680|680}} that does not share the specific stat numbers with another Pokémon: {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Lugia}}, and {{p|Ho-Oh}} all have a 90-90-106-110-130-154 distribution in different orders, while the [[creation trio]], as well as {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}}, all have 90-100-100-120-120-150.
* Rayquaza is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 680 that does not have a [[signature move]].
* Rayquaza was the most voted Pokémon of all pre-[[Generation V]] Pokémon in the {{pmin|South Korea|Korean}} [[Pokémon Global Link]] [[List of Pokémon Global Link promotions/Pokémon#Rayquaza|promotion]] poll.
** Rayquaza was also the most voted on the {{DL|List of Japanese Nintendo event Pokémon in 2012|15th anniversary Rayquaza|15th anniversary poll}}, which was for the [[version mascot]]s of the [[version|main series]] Pokémon games, making it Japan's favorite version mascot.
* Rayquaza is misspelled as "Rayquayza" in {{g|Team Turbo}} in every possible instance.

===Origin===
Rayquaza is most likely based on the Hebrew legends of {{wp|Ziz}}, the unconquerable primal master of the sky. Its counterparts were {{wp|Behemoth}} and {{wp|Leviathan}}. Rayquaza's appearance also draws inspiration from other creatures of myth such as the {{wp|Asian dragon}} and ''{{wp|lindworm}}''.

====Name origin====
Rayquaza may be a combination of ''{{wp|ray (geometry)|ray}}'' and ''{{wp|quasar}}''. Alternatively, it may be a combination of 烈 ''retsu'' (violent or furious), 空 ''kū'' (sky), and 座 ''za'' (seat or location), which can be taken to mean "one that sits in the ferocious heavens".

==In other languages==

[[File:SSBB Lucario.png|left|thumb|200px|Lucario using {{m|Aura Sphere}}]]
Lucario can be unlocked unlocked by either playing 100 matches, completing all five target smashes with a single character, or recruiting him in the Subspace Emissary. His home stage is {{st|Spear Pillar}}.

{{SmashMoves|type=Fighting|type2=Steel|game=Brawl|Spe=Aura Sphere|SpeM=yes|SpeS=Force Palm|SpeSM=yes|SpeU=ExtremeSpeed|SpeUM=yes|SpeD=Double Team|SpeDM=yes|FS=Aura Storm}}

====Subspace Emissary====
Lucario first appears on the top of Glacial Peak, where he decides to fight Meta Knight. The player can choose either or, with a different cutscene showing if one wins and another if the other does, with the winner reviving the loser from their trophy state. After that, Lucario joins the main party, and goes with Snake and Meta Knight throughout the next level. Lucario teams up with Snake and Meta Knight in order to battle Peach and Zelda, who have been consumed by Subspace bugs. Once they are defeated, Lucario and the others must battle a giant robot atop the Halberd. After that, Lucario and the others meet up with the rest of the heroes and proceed to the Subspace World. After traveling through it, all of the heroes, including Lucario, are turned back into trophies by Tabuu. However, he is later revived by Luigi, Ness, King Dedede and Kirby. Lucario, along with the other characters, go through the Great Maze and defeat Tabuu, saving the world.

====[[wp:Metal Gear|Codec]] information (on Shadow Moses Island)====
:'''Mei Ling:''' "You're fighting Lucario, aren't you, Snake?"

:'''Snake:''' "Mei Ling, what's that purple fire coming out of his hands?"

:'''Mei Ling:''' "That's his 'Aura'."

:'''Snake:''' "Aura?"

:'''Mei Ling:''' "I guess you could call it his life force. Lucario can use his own Aura and turn it into power. Every time Lucario's damage increases, his aura gains strength, making his attacks more powerful. So don't think you've got him beat just because his health is down."

:'''Snake:''' "The cornered rat will bite the cat... Sounds like trouble."

:'''Mei Ling:''' "Hey! When did you become so good with proverbs?!"

:'''Snake:''' "You must have rubbed off on me."

:'''Mei Ling:''' "Well, come back in one piece, and I'll teach you all the Chinese proverbs you can handle."''

====Trophy information====
[[File:Lucario Aura Storm.png|right|thumb|200px|Lucario using its Final Smash]]
=====Lucario=====
''An Aura Pokémon. It can track energy called Aura, which is given off by all living creatures. It's a unique combination of both Fighting and Steel-type Pokémon. Lucario evolves from Riolu during the day if its happiness has reached its maximum point. It specializes in attacks that use Aura energy, like Dark Pulse and a can't-miss technique, Aura Sphere.''

=====Aura Storm=====
''Lucario's Final Smash. After flying off the screen, Lucario reappears in its center. It then launches a powerful Aura attack against all foes within a certain distance. The key to this attack is the ability to change its angle--it's a must sweep slowly left and right to hit selected enemies multiple times. The last blow will send the victim flying away.''

Spear Pillar (stage)

2012-12-09T08:39:14Z

Orderly Chaos: /* Palkia's Effects */

[[File:SSBB Spear Pillar.png|right|thumb|Spear Pillar in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
{{SmashWiki|Spear Pillar}}
'''Spear Pillar''' (Japanese: '''テンガンざんやりのはしら''' ''Mt. Tengan Spear Pillar'') is an unlockable stage in the [[Wii]] fighting video game [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]. Players can unlock the stage by completing Event 25: The Aura Is With Me. The background of the stage will feature either {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, or {{p|Cresselia}}, who will occasionally affect the stage by tilting it diagonally, turning the stage backwards to invert the movements of the characters controlled by the control stick/D-pad, or breaking the middle section of the top platform; {{p|Dialga}} reverses time to repair the damage. The background color of the stage also changes with whichever legendary Pokémon is featured. The members of the [[lake guardians]] also make cameo appearances.

The stage's default music is a mix of ''[[Pokémon battle|Battle]]! {{p|Dialga}} & {{p|Palkia}}'' and ''{{OBP|Victory Road|Hoenn}}''. Optional pieces of background music are ''[[Pokémon battle|Battle]]! [[Team Galactic]]'' and ''{{rt|209|Sinnoh}}''.

==Effects==
{{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Cresselia}} may affect the stage. Dialga appears when the sky has a blue hue; Palkia appears when the sky has a purple hue; Cresselia appears when the sky is clear.

===Dialga's effects===
* '''Beam'''- Dialga shoots a blue beam horizontally across the cave below the stage or vertically through a part of the stage.
* '''{{m|Earthquake}}'''- Part of the upper stage is destroyed, leaving an open gap to the cave below.
* '''{{m|Roar of Time}}'''- Dialga jumps onto the stage from the background, attacking players in close range with a rainbow colored blast.
* '''Slo-Mo'''- The speed of the game decreases and players are slowed down; all characters on the stage are affected by this.
* '''Tilt'''- The camera is tilted at an angle. This is only an illusion and does not affect the stage's gravity or the controls.

===Palkia's Effects===
* '''Beam'''- Palkia shoots a pink beam horizontally across the cave below the stage or vertically through a part of the stage.
* '''{{m|Earthquake}}'''- Part of the upper stage is destroyed, leaving an open gap to the cave below.
* '''Low Gravity'''- The gravity in the stage is decreased, making players fall slower than normal.
* '''{{m|Spacial Rend}}'''- The stage is mirrored, inverting the movement controls. For example, pressing left will make the player's character go right instead.
* '''Upside Down'''- The camera is turned upside down. This is only an illusion and does not affect the stage's gravity or the controls.

===Cresselia's effects===
* '''Moon Blades'''- Cresselia throws blades in a pre-defined route. Deals less damage than Dialga's or Palkia's '''Beam'''.
* '''{{m|Psycho Cut}}'''- Rains down several crescent-shaped slashes in a random direction from a central point above the center of the stage.

==Trivia==
* At the bottom of the pedestal on which Dialga, Palkia, or Cresselia stands, there are the drawings of Dialga and Palkia which appear outside of the ruins in [[Celestic Town]].
* Occasionally, {{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Uxie}}, or {{p|Mesprit}} may appear on the stage near the pedestal where the other Pokémon may appear. They do not appear to do anything and will disappear soon after appearing, with Azelf and Uxie teleporting away and Mesprit flying off to the side.

Doctor (Trainer class)

A '''Doctor''' (Japanese: '''ドクター''' ''Doctor'') is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] who specializes in healing and taking care of injured and sick {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==In the games==
The Doctor Trainer class was introduced in [[Generation V]]. Battling them is optional; they do not challenge the Trainer upon sight, but instead when spoken to. Doctors will challenge the player on sight in the [[Black Tower]], where they will heal the Trainer's party only once, but the player may choose when. Upon being defeated, the Doctor will heal the Trainer's party fully, and any time spoken to afterwards, unless they are battled in [[Big Stadium and Small Court|Big Stadium or Small Court]]. Some will give out [[Max Revive]]s when defeated. They are the male counterparts of {{tc|Nurse}}s.

They use {{t|Psychic}}- and {{type|Bug}} Pokémon, as well as Pokémon considered to be healers, such as [[Audino]]. Doctors will use {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Full Heal}}s during battle if their Pokémon are afflicted with [[status ailment]]s. Doctors appear primarily in locations without a nearby [[Pokémon Center]], such as the [[Desert Resort]].

In the [[Plasma Frigate]], much like [[Juggler]] Dalton of [[Silph Co.]] before him, Doctor Julius is an odd one out as he is the only assumed member of [[Team Plasma]] that is not a {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt|Grunt}}. It is likely possible that he was coaxed by Team Plasma's goals under their leader [[N]] and not [[Ghetsis]] because he states that he hopes no more Pokémon will get hurt after Team Plasma rules the world. Despite his allegiance, he will still heal the player's Pokémon. He will not appear when the player visits the Plasma Frigate in the post-game when it is docked at the [[P2 Laboratory]], however.

==In the anime==
[[File:DP094.png|thumb|right|200px|Pokémon Doctor-in-training Brock]]
[[File:Pokémon Doctor class.png|thumb|left|200px|A Pokémon Doctor's class]]
Unlike their real world counterparts, Pokémon Doctors seem not to be preferred over [[Nurse Joy]] and the healing capabilities of [[Pokémon Center]]s, with all the doctors in the {{pkmn|anime}} having operated on their own or in small offices away from Pokémon Centers. Doctors have a wide range of knowledge, being able to treat many symptoms and knowing what types of {{Berries}} and other healing items to use. Some doctors are also experts with [[evolution]].

In ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]'', a Pokémon Doctor's class was taught at the [[Pokémon Trainer's School]] in [[Rustboro City]].

Notable Pokémon Doctors include [[Dr. Abby]], [[Dr. Moss]], and [[Dr. Proctor]] (temporarily). {{an|Brock}} is also training to become a Doctor.

Bodybuilders are tall, muscular men and women in exercise outfits. Like many of [[Orre]]'s Trainer classes, they do not specialize in any particular strategy or Pokémon type. Many can be found in places such as [[Mt. Battle]] and [[Pyrite Colosseum]], with most being overconfident and eager to battle. Many special Trainers, such as {{tc|Mt.BtlMaster|Mt. Battle's hundredth Trainers}} in both games and {{tc|Deep King|Deep King Agnol}}, are based on Bodybuilders. Bodybuilders mainly use Pokémon with high {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}}.

'''Rapidash''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ギャロップ''' ''Gallop'') is a {{type|Fire}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Ponyta}} starting at [[level]] 40.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Rapidash is a horse-like, {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a quadruped body|quadruped}} Pokémon. It has a horn, reminiscent of a {{wp|unicorn}}. Rapidash has eyes with red irises that are proportionally smaller and different in design to its pre-evolution, {{p|Ponyta}}. Like its pre-evolution, Rapidash has various flames streaming from certain spots on its body. However, Rapidash’s flames are different in shape and location on the body to Ponyta’s, for the flames at the tops of the legs have vanished and there are now flames on the ankles. Rapidash’s 'tail'-flame now streams from its back, and Rapidash’s head flame is much longer.
====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
They run at about {{tt|150mph|240km/h}}, chasing everything that moves in hopes of racing it. With incredible acceleration, they reach their top speed in only ten steps. At full gallop, their four hooves barely touch the ground.

===Behavior===
Rapidash are very agile Pokémon. They can live on mountains along with {{t|Rock}} and other {{t|Fire}} Pokémon. It is possible that they live alone, rather than in groups of fellow Rapidash. They are the highest evolved form of Ponyta and are highly capable in battle. Although Rapidash only casually canter, they are very competitive Pokémon. They will chase anything that moves in hopes of racing it. The faster Rapidash go, the longer the swaying flames of their mane will become. At an all-out gallop, their blazing mane sparkles, a feature which is said to enhance their beautiful appearance.

===Habitat===
[[File:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Most Rapidash live on grassland such as fields and plains, but they can also be seen on mountains. The best place to find wild ones would be in [[Kanto]], though some can be found in [[Johto]] and [[Unova]] as well.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

They can sometimes be found with the [[Shuca Berry]]. This suggests that it is part of a Rapidash's diet.

==In the anime==
[[File:Rapidash anime.png|250px|Rapidash in the anime|thumb|right]]

[[Blaine]] is seen with a Rapidash as his steed in [[Pokémon Adventures]].

Later, Blaine rides Rapidash into {{p|Mewtwo}}'s {{m|Psywave}} in an attempt to defeat Mewtwo. To protect {{adv|Red}}, Blaine's Rapidash creates a fireball wall around the {{pkmn|Trainer}} to shield him from the impending blast.

It also appeared in the Emerald saga when {{adv|Crystal}} lent the Rapidash she had to {{adv|Emerald}}. Though it was initially defeated by [[Lucy's Seviper]] with its {{m|Toxic}} and {{m|Giga Drain}} maneuver, its fellow team member {{p|Blissey}} revitalized it using {{m|Heal Bell}} and {{m|Softboiled}}, allowing it to defeat the serpent with a powerful {{m|Overheat}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:Flameless Rapidash.png|right|thumb|200px|Flameless Rapidash]]
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Rapidash was originally known as "Gallop". This is, of course, its romanized Japanese name.
* Rapidash is the favorite Pokémon of the [[Kanto]] [[Pokémon Fan Club President]]. When the player first speaks to him, he goes on about why Rapidash is his favorite Pokémon at length.
* In the [[M01|first movie]], there is a split second where Rapidash has no flames.
* It is one of the few Pokémon in {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}} and {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}} to have the same [[Field Move]] in both games.

===Origin===
Rapidash's horn shows it may have been inspired by {{wp|unicorn}}s, but it more closely resembles a regular {{wp|horse}}. It would also seem that Rapidash, along with its pre-evolution, are based on the Greek god {{wp|Helios}}'s fiery steeds.

====Name origin====
Rapidash may be a combination of ''rapid'' and ''dash'', referring to the high speed at which it runs. It could also be a combination of ''rapid'' and ''ash'' (referencing its Fire-typing).

Gallop is literally ''gallop'', a form of running for hoofed animals.

==In other languages==

The '''Pokémon Trainer''' (Japanese: '''ポケモントレーナー''' ''Pokémon Trainer'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.

==Core mechanics==
What differentiates Pokémon Trainer from the other playable characters is that he doesn't actually fight his opponents himself. Instead, he sends out his [[party|Pokémon team]] of {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}} to fight on his behalf, each with their own set of moves, strengths, and weaknesses. The Trainer is encouraged to switch between the three Pokémon using the Down-Special move, [[Pokémon Change]], which each Pokémon has access to, for if a Pokémon fights for too long, it will weaken gradually. The Pokémon Trainer's [[Final Smash]], Triple Finish, is also shared amongst the three Pokémon.

==Pokémon==

|epname=Super Smash Bros. Brawl
|vajp=Rikako Aikawa
|vaen=Michele Knotz
|desc={{main|sbw:Squirtle (SSBB)|Squirtle on Smash Bros. Wiki}}
Squirtle is a lightweight and uses various attacks using its shell and streams of water. is can use {{m|Waterfall}} to recover from falls as well as {{m|Withdraw}}, in which case it retreats to its shell and shoots water from the back of it propelling him forwards. It also uses {{m|Water Gun}} to push enemies with a stream of water. Because of its light weight, it excels in aerial attacks, but is easy to knock out. It uses {{m|Hydro Pump}} in Red's Final Smash, {{DL|Final Smash|Triple Finish}}.

In {{sbw|Subspace Emissary}}, Squirtle is the first Pokémon to appear alongside Pokémon Trainer. It is sent out to assist a distraught {{wb|Lucas}}.

|vaen=Craig Blair
|desc={{main|sbw:Ivysaur (SSBB)|Ivysaur on Smash Bros. Wiki}}
In many ways, Ivysaur is the balance between the heavyweight, hard-hitting {{p|Charizard}} and the lightweight, agile {{p|Squirtle}}. It uses mostly [[physical]] {{type|Grass}} attacks, such as {{m|Bullet Seed}}, a rapid aerial striking move, and {{m|Vine Whip}}, a recovery move where the vine is shot out to latch onto edges of a stage and pulled back up again. It also uses the projectile attack {{m|Razor Leaf}}. It uses {{m|SolarBeam}} in Red's Final Smash, {{DL|Final Smash|Triple Finish}}.

In {{sbw|Subspace Emissary}}, Ivysaur is found by the Pokémon Trainer, Squirtle, and Lucas after an encounter with {{wb|Ness}}'s captor, {{smw|Wario}}. This allows Pokémon Trainer to use [[Pokémon Change]] in the story mode.

|vaen=Shinichirō Miki
|desc={{main|sbw:Charizard (SSBB)|Charizard on Smash Bros. Wiki}}
Charizard is the Pokémon Trainer's powerhouse, boasting heavy-hitting moves and excellent recovery, but lacking in speed. It uses a variety of mostly physical attacks, such as {{m|Rock Smash}}, a powerful attack towards enemies directly in front, and {{m|Fly}}, a recovery move that sends Charizard skywards and allows it to glide. It can also use Flawethrower to attack from a short distance. It uses {{m|Fire Blast}} in Red's Final Smash, {{DL|Final Smash|Triple Finish}}.

In {{sbw|Subspace Emissary}}, Charizard is found by the shortly after Ivysaur, completing the Trainer's team.

}}

==Subspace Emissary==
The Pokémon Trainer is first encountered by {{wb|Lucas}} in the Ruined Zoo. For most of the game, the two are paired together. Pokémon Trainer's mission is to capture Charizard and Ivysaur while Lucas's is to save {{wb|Ness}}. On their way to {{sbw|the Ruins}}, the two are ambushed by {{smw|Wario}}, who is eventually defeated by the two. Later in {{sbw|The Ruined Hall}}, they are attacked by {{sbw|Galleom}}. Once defeated, it sets off a time bomb. Lucas saves Pokémon Trainer and they are then both saved by {{wk|Meta Knight}} who carries them away from the explosion, which sucks up Wario's trophy into Subspace. From then on the two join Meta Knight, {{sbw|Marth}}, and {{sbw|Ike}} on their quest to take down the {{sbw|Subspace Army}}.

:'''Roy Campbell:''' ''"It's not like that, Snake. Those Pokémon wouldn't know what to do if the Pokémon Trainer [[Wild Pokémon|wasn't there giving orders]].

Trainers pour their [[Friendship|hearts]] into their Pokémon and share anger, sadness, and joy as they adventure in hopes of becoming [[Pokémon Master]]s."''

===Triple Finish===
''"The Final Smash of the Pokémon Trainer. Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard join forces to simultaneously use {{m|Hydro Pump}}, {{m|SolarBeam}}, and {{m|Fire Blast}}. This is the only time all three of them appear on the screen together, so this move boasts the strength of three in one. A window will appear on the screen saying "It's {{DL|Damage modification|super effective}}!" when the attack hits."''

Walkthrough:Pokémon Diamond and Pearl/Part 23

2012-05-31T05:56:44Z

Orderly Chaos: /* VS Bertha */

==Final Preparation==
Don't proceed to challenge the [[Elite Four]] yet. You must do some insanely serious preparation. The most serious one ever.

The Elite Four will be the hardest challenges in the main storyline. You’ll have to fight them all, four in a row. Not really back-to-back -- you have time to heal between fights, but you cannot gain access to a Pokémon Center, so you’ll need a lot of healing items. When you head inside, you can no longer get out until the challenges are over. There is only one way to go: to win and proceed.

Similar to Gym Leaders, each of the Elite Four specializes in a single type. Therefore, there are at least 4 types of Pokémon for you to face off. Moreover, at least one Pokémon in three of their teams does NOT belong to their specializing types, so bring Pokémon with different types of moves.

When you beat one, you can face the next Elite Four, and he/she will have a team that is stronger than the team of the previous Elite Four. That means the last one will be the strongest out of the 4. The Elite Four have five Pokémon in each of their team. Their Pokémon at at levels ranging from 53 to 63. When one of their Pokémon is defeated, they'll send in their remaining Pokémon depending on the situation, not according to the order of the list, which you should know. Be careful that you need to bring their Pokémon down without making them survive with less than 30% of their HP, or the Elite Four will use Full Restores.

There is also one more challenge after beating the Elite Four. That’s a battle facing the League Champion. Similar to [[Rival]] [[Barry]], the Champ has a full party that doesn’t specialize in a type, so be wary and bring a team with Pokémon in a variety of types. The Champ’s strongest Pokémon is at above Level 65, so be extra careful!

'''Make sure that you have done the following things before going on:'''
*'''Buy a lot of medicines!'''
**'''Buy at least 40 of each necessary medicine''', excluding different versions of Potions.
***'''Buying 45 to 50 of each is recommended.'''
**To save money, don't buy [[Super Potion|Super Potions]], and don't buy very many bottles of [[Potion]].
***You may still need to buy many bottles of [[Hyper Potion]], [[Max Potion]] and [[Full Restore]], though.
***Buy [[Drink|Drinks]] (i.e. Fresh Water, Soda Pop, Lemonade, Moomoo Milk) instead of the Potions. You should know where to buy them because you had just bought a lot before going through [[Victory Road]].
*'''You may consider about buying [[Battle item|Battle Items]].'''
**e.g.: X Attack, X Defend, X Special, X Sp. Def, X Speed, X Accuracy, Dire Hit, Guard Spec.
**Some of the Battle items, especially those started with X, enhances stats of your Pokémon.
**Buy 20 to 40 of each if you need.
**Place to buy them: 2/F, [[Veilstone Department Store]], [[Veilstone City]]
*'''Heal your Pokémon!'''
*'''Train your Pokémon until they are above Level 55!'''
**'''Having your Pokémon at about Level 60 is recommended.'''
***Good training place: Victory Road, {{rt|223|Sinnoh}}
***You can also fight some Trainers again using [[Vs. Seeker]] in ''outdoor'' places.

==VS Elite Four==
When you are ready, proceed to the {{tc|Ace Trainer}} that guards the corridor to the Elite Four. Talk to him, and he’ll check if you have all of the 8 [[Sinnoh]] Gym Badges. If you have, he’ll step aside, and let you proceed. '''Remember: Once you head in, NO turning back!'''
===VS Aaron===
'''Make sure that you heal your Pokémon before proceeding!'''

Proceed through the corridor. The first Elite Four is [[Aaron (Elite Four)|Aaron]]. He specializes in the {{type2|Bug}}. The following battle will probably be your easiest Pokémon League fight.

Aaron opens up the fight with {{p|Dustox}}. You should know how to deal with it after all those battles with [[Team Galactic]]. Its only attacking move is {{m|Bug Buzz}}. If it uses {{m|Double Team}} to raise its evasiveness too many times, fight back with some moves like {{m|Aerial Ace}} that never miss, or try to KO it before it raises its evasiveness too high. Watch out for {{m|Toxic}}, which inflicts bad poison if it hits your Pokémon. You know what {{m|Light Screen}} does, don't you?

You should also know how to deal with {{p|Beautifly}}. However, this one is totally offensive with Special-based moves. {{type2|Rock}} moves overwhelm it, but watch out for {{m|Energy Ball}}, which may also reduce your Special Defense! It also knows Bug Buzz, {{m|Psychic}}, and {{m|Shadow Ball}}. If you chose [[p|Infernape]], watch out for Psychic.

You faced {{p|Heracross}} before, during the final Rival Battle. This one is also totally offensive, but with Physical-based moves. {{type2|Flying}} moves overwhelm it, but be extra careful because Heracross knows {{m|Stone Edge}}, which has a higher-than-usual critical-hit ratio. It also has {{m|Night Slash}}, as well as {{m|Megahorn}}, so don’t even try using Psychic-type Pokémon. It also has {{m|Close Combat}}, which hits just as hard as Megahorn but is more accurate. After using Close Combat, though, Heracross's Defense and Special Defense will be lowered, so use that chance to hit hard!

{{p|Vespiquen}} is another Bug/Flying-type and the evolution of female {{p|Combee}}. It has all of its three signature moves: {{m|Attack Order}}, {{m|Defend Order}}, and {{m|Heal Order}}. From the names, you can deduce that Attack Order deals damage, Defend Order raises its defensive stats and Heal Order heals it. It also has {{m|Power Gem}} to counter Flying-type Pokémon. Rock-type moves will, again, overwhelm this Pokémon. A good {{type2|Fire}} or Flying-type move will also take it out.

Aaron’s strongest Pokémon is {{p|Drapion}}, at Lv.57. It is not a Bug-type Pokémon, but it evolves from the Poison/Bug-type {{p|Skorupi}}. Drapion is a {{t|Poison}}/Dark-type Pokémon, so its only weaknesses are Ground-type moves. However, if you decide to use Ground-types, make sure to watch out for {{m|Ice Fang}}! It also has {{m|Cross Poison}}, {{m|X-Scissor}} and {{m|Aerial Ace}}, all of which will hit hard, especially Cross Poison. Send in Pokémon with high Defense to shut down its attacks.

After you beat Aaron, he’ll tell you that three more Trainers are waiting for you and are tougher than him. Get ready!

===VS Bertha===
'''Make sure that you heal your Pokémon before proceeding!'''

Proceed through the corridor. The second Elite Four is [[Bertha]]. Her team specializes in {{type2|Ground}}. Don’t think Flying-type Pokémon can avoid all of the attacks from her Pokémon, though.

Her first Pokémon is {{p|Quagsire}}. It's very sturdy and only has one weakness: {{t|Grass}}. A Grass-type move will totally destroy it, so make sure to bring one along. It only has one attacking move: {{m|Dig}}, which is a two-turn attack. Its other moves are {{m|Sandstorm}}, which summons a sandstorm for 5 turns that damages all but {{t|Rock}}, {{t|Ground}}, and {{t|Steel}} Pokémon, so make sure to have one out to weather the sandstorm. Quagsire also has {{m|Protect}} (you should know what it does). Like Aaron’s Dustox, it also wields Double Team, so knock it out quickly to avoid a tiring and long battle.

{{p|Sudowoodo}} looks like a small tree, but (surprise!) it is not a Grass-type Pokémon. It is also not a Ground-type Pokémon. Instead, it’s a pure Rock-type Pokémon. Similar to Quagsire, it has Sandstorm. Moreover, it also has {{m|Sucker Punch}} to strike first and catch you off guard if you are attacking. It also has {{m|Earthquake}} and a Fighting-type move {{m|Hammer Arm}}. {{type2|Water}}, Grass-type, Fighting-type and Ground-type moves can finish it off.

{{p|Whiscash}} is another Water/Ground-type Pokémon, and also the evolution of {{p|Barboach}}. Again, Grass-type moves are its nightmares. This Pokémon is totally offensive with Physical-based moves. Be extremely careful if your Pokémon has a lower level than Whiscash’s level and are not Flying-type Pokémon! Whiscash has {{m|Fissure}}, which is a fatal move -- it will immediately kill your Pokémon if it hits! It also has {{m|Rock Slide}} to hit Flying-type Pokémon. Moreover, it has {{m|Aqua Tail}} and {{m|Zen Headbutt}} (most Grass-type Pokémon are also partly Poison-type Pokémon, so be wary).

{{p|Golem}}, the evolution of {{p|Graveler}}, as well as the final form of {{p|Geodude}}, is a Rock/Ground-type Pokémon, so you should know how to deal with it. Water-type and Grass-type moves are its major weaknesses, but Fighting-type and Ground-type moves may work too. It has the common Ground-type move Earthquake, the Steel-type {{m|Gyro Ball}} to hit faster Pokémon for more damage and {{m|Brick Break}} to counter {{type2|Steel}} Pokémon. It also has Sandstorm, similar to Sudowoodo.

Bertha’s strongest Pokémon is {{p|Hippowdon}}, the evolution of {{p|Hippopotas}}, at Lv.59. This Pokémon can be a monster if you don't knock it out right away. Its [[ability]] [[Sand Stream]] summons a sandstorm that lasts for the whole battle. Like Golem and Sudowoodo, it has Earthquake. It also can use Stone Edge to counter Ice-type and Flying-type Pokémon, as well as the Dark-type {{m|Crunch}} that may reduce the Defense stat of your Pokémon. Don’t let it use {{m|Curse}} for too many times, or its Attack and Defense will skyrocket, making its three attacking moves (all of them are Physical-based) dreadful. Water-type, Ice-type or Grass-type moves are your best choices.

After you beat Bertha, she’ll think that you can go as far as you want. Talk to her again, and she’ll tell you that the Trainer in the next room is much more formidable.

===VS Flint===
'''Make sure that you heal your Pokémon before proceeding!'''

Proceed through the corridor. The third Elite Four is [[Flint (Elite Four)|Flint]], which you saw earlier in [[Sunyshore City]]. His team "specializes" in {{type2|Fire}}, but due to the lack of Fire-type Pokémon in this Sinnoh Region, he only has two Fire-type Pokémon. Be prepared to face a team with Pokémon in diverse types.

He starts with {{p|Rapidash}} -- the evolution of {{p|Ponyta}}. It is extremely fast. It has {{m|Flare Blitz}} that hurts a lot but also deals serious recoil damage like {{m|Double-Edge}}. It also has {{m|Bounce}}, which is a Flying-type move and a two-turn attack like {{m|Fly}}. Water-type, Ground-type and Rock-type moves are your best choices, but be careful of its {{m|SolarBeam}}, which is a Grass-type move! Don’t let it use {{m|Sunny Day}}. What Sunny Day does is not only boosting power of Fire-type moves. It also lets SolarBeam to fire right away without charging!

{{p|Drifblim}} is a Ghost/Flying-type Pokémon. It has Double Team (like Aaron’s Dustox and Bertha’s Quagsire) and {{m|Baton Pass}} to switch to another Pokémon while passing all stat changes along. The {{type2|Ghost}} move {{m|Ominous Wind}} is its only attacking move, but it might raise all of its stats at once. Its only Fire-type move is {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, which inflicts burn. Hit it back with Dark-type, Electric-type, Ice-type, Rock-type or your own {{type2|Ghost}} moves, but beware of its ability [[Aftermath]], which damages the Pokémon landing finishing blow!

{{p|Steelix}} is a Steel/Ground-type Pokémon and the evolution of {{p|Onix}}, which you should know. It has {{m|Rock Tomb}} that may reduce Speed of your Pokémon and {{m|Screech}} to make Defense stat of your Pokémon plummet. It also has {{m|Fire Fang}} that may burn your Pokémon or make it flinch, and Sunny Day, similar to Rapidash. Hit it with Water-type, Ground-type, Fighting-type or your own Fire-type moves.

{{p|Lopunny}} is a pure {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon, and the evolution of {{p|Buneary}}. Only {{type2|Fighting}} moves will deal super-effective damage. Be careful that it has [[Cute Charm]] as its ability. If your Pokémon's gender is Lopunny's opposite one (in this case, if you use a female Pokémon), using moves that make contact may result in infatuation. However, using Special-based moves like {{m|Focus Blast}} are unsafe either because of {{m|Mirror Coat}}, which reflects any Special-based attacks for double damage. It has {{m|Charm}} to make Attack stat of your Pokémon plummet, Sunny Day (like Rapidash and Steelix) and {{m|Fire Punch}} that may burn your Pokémon.

Flint’s strongest Pokémon is {{p|Infernape}} -- the evolution of {{p|Monferno}}, as well as the final form of {{p|Chimchar}}. It is a Lv.61 Fire/Fighting-type Pokémon. It has high Attack, Sp. Atk and Speed. It has Flare Blitz, similar to Rapidash, and Earthquake, similar to 3 of Bertha’s Pokémon. It also has {{m|Mach Punch}} to hit fast (like {{m|Quick Attack}}) and {{m|ThunderPunch}} to counter Flying-type Pokémon and may inflict paralysis. Water-type, Ground-type, Flying-type (beware of ThunderPunch) and Psychic-type moves are your best choices.

After beating Flint, he’ll tell you to keep going.
===VS Lucian===
'''Make sure that you heal your Pokémon before proceeding!'''

Proceed through the corridor. The fourth and final Elite Four is [[Lucian]]. His team specializes in {{type2|Psychic}}. Unlike the previous 3, all of his Pokémon are Psychic-type Pokémon. {{type2|Dark}} Pokémon are the most advantageous, but having immunity doesn’t mean everything. 4 of his Pokémon know {{m|Psychic}}, which may reduce Sp. Def of your Pokémon if it hits.

He starts with {{p|Mr. Mime}}. It is a pure Psychic-type Pokémon. It may surprise you with the Electric-type {{m|Thunderbolt}} or set up with {{m|Reflect}} and Light Screen. Render it unable to battle fast with Dark-type, Bug-type or Ghost-type moves.

{{p|Girafarig}} is a Normal/Psychic Pokémon, so Ghost-type moves have no effect. It has {{m|Double Hit}} to hit your Pokémon twice in a row. It also has {{m|Shadow Ball}} and {{m|Crunch}} that may reduce Sp. Def and Defense respectively, as well as countering Ghost-type Pokémon. Deal significant damage on it with Dark-type and Bug-type moves.

{{p|Medicham}} is a Fighting/Psychic-type Pokémon and the evolution of {{p|Meditite}}. It is the only one of Lucian’s Pokémon that doesn’t have any Psychic-type moves, thus doesn’t have the move Psychic. Actually, its moves are all punches! It has {{m|Drain Punch}} (has the same power and draining effect as {{m|Giga Drain}}) and three elemental punches -- Fire Punch, {{m|Ice Punch}} and ThunderPunch. Flying-type (be careful of Ice Punch and ThunderPunch) and Ghost-type moves are your best bet.

{{p|Alakazam}} is a pure Psychic-type Pokémon. It is the evolution of {{p|Kadabra}} and the final form of {{p|Abra}}. It has Energy Ball to surprise you and reduce Sp. Def stat of your Pokémon. It also has {{m|Focus Blast}}, which hits as hard as Close Combat and counters Dark-type Pokémon. It may also use {{m|Recover}} to heal up.

Lucian’s strongest Pokémon is {{p|Bronzong}} -- the evolution of {{p|Bronzor}}, at Lv.63. It is a Steel/Psychic-type Pokémon, making it only weak to Fire-type and Ground-type moves, but due to its ability [[Levitate]], Fire-type moves are your only choice. Be extremely careful: it has Earthquake! It also has Gyro Ball to counter faster Pokémon, similar to Bertha’s Golem. It has {{m|Calm Mind}} to raise its Sp. Atk and Sp. Def.

After beating Lucian, he’ll note that "your power is real" and say:

''"Congratulations. You have beaten the Elite Four. However, that doesn't mean you're done with the Pokémon league. There remains the [[Champion]]. I should warn you—the Champion is far stronger than the Elite Four."''

Great job! You have finally beaten the Elite Four, but your challenge is not over! You still need to face the Champion.

==VS Champion==
'''Make sure that you heal your Pokémon before proceeding!'''

This corridor is longer. Don't go into Champion's room yet because once you go inside, the battle will start! Keep in mind you can’t switch the order of your Pokémon once you head inside.

Guess who? Remember the one who gave you {{HM|01|Cut}}, [[SecretPotion]] and [[Old Charm]]? That’s [[Cynthia]]. Yep, Cynthia is the League Champion! She has a full team with Pokémon in different types and at or above Lv. 60. This will be your most difficult fight (at least in the main storyline), but try your best to beat her!

Her first Pokémon is {{p|Spiritomb}}. Due to its Ghost/Dark type, it has no weaknesses normally. Yup, '''no weaknesses'''. You can only bring it down with your strongest attacks that aren’t Normal-, Fighting- or Psychic-type moves, or by identifying it with {{m|Foresight}}, {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, hence removing two of its immunities and exposing its weaknesses to Fighting-type moves. It possesses {{m|Embargo}} to prevent you from using items on your Pokémon, and also Psychic, {{m|Dark Pulse}} (which may make your Pokémon flinch) and {{m|Silver Wind}}, a Bug-type move that might raise all of its stats at once.

{{p|Gastrodon}}— the evolution of {{p|Shellos}}, is a Water/Ground-type Pokémon, so it has Grass-type moves as its nightmares. It's all out offensive with {{m|Muddy Water}} (which may reduce Accuracy of your Pokémon), {{m|Sludge Bomb}} (counters Grass-type Pokémon and may inflict poison), Earthquake and Stone Edge (counters Flying-type Pokémon).

{{p|Roserade}}— the evolution of {{p|Roselia}} and the final form of {{p|Budew}}, is a Grass/Poison-type Pokémon. It is all out offensive with Special-based moves: Sludge Bomb (like Gastrodon), Energy Ball (like Aaron’s Beautifly and Lucian’s Alakazam), Shadow Ball (like Lucian’s Girafarig) and {{m|Extrasensory}}. You should know how to deal with it: Fire-type, Flying-type, Ice-type and Psychic-type (beware of Shadow Ball) moves are the bane of it.

{{p|Lucario}} is a Fighting/Steel-type Pokémon and the evolution of {{p|Riolu}}. This Aura Pokémon is also all out offensive with {{m|Aura Sphere}} (a Fighting-type move that never misses), {{m|Dragon Pulse}}, Psychic and Earthquake. You should know how to deal with it, but in case you forgot, hit back with Fire-type moves (beware of Earthquake), Ground-type moves or your own Fighting-type moves (beware of Psychic).

{{p|Milotic}}— the evolution of {{p|Feebas}}, is a pure Water-type Pokémon. It can attack with {{m|Surf}} and {{m|Ice Beam}} (counters Grass-type Pokémon and may freeze your Pokémon). It can heal itself a little every turn with {{m|Aqua Ring}}. It also possesses Mirror Coat (similar to Flint’s Lopunny). Electric-type and Grass-type (beware of Ice Beam) moves are your best choices, but most of those moves are Special-based, so watch out for Mirror Coat! Try Physical moves like {{m|Spark}}, {{m|Thunder Fang}}, {{m|ThunderPunch}} and {{m|Wood Hammer}}.

Cynthia's strongest Pokémon is {{p|Garchomp}}, a Dragon/Ground-type Pokémon at ''Lv.66'' with stats on par with many legendary Pokémon. Yes, Garchomp is at '''Level 66''', far stronger than any of the Elite Four's Pokémon! It is the evolution of {{p|Gabite}} and final form of {{p|Gible}}. This big, bad beast is all out offensive with Physical-based moves: {{m|Dragon Rush}} (has only 75% accuracy but hits very hard), Brick Break (like Bertha’s Golem, counters Ice-type Pokémon), Earthquake and {{m|Giga Impact}} (like {{m|Hyper Beam}}, requires recharging afterwards but hits extremely hard)! With its very high Attack stat, extremely high Speed stat and insanely high level, all of these moves can deal a ton of damage, or even knock your Pokémon out in a single shot! {{type2|Ice}} moves are its nightmare, but you'll have to beware of Brick Break, and even strong moves like {{m|Ice Beam}} and {{m|Blizzard}} may not render it unable to battle. Hitting back with your own {{type2|Dragon}} moves will only help a little...... and you need to watch out for Dragon Rush.

If you successfully beat Cynthia, congratulations! You are the new League Champion! Cynthia will let you take the lift and go up. But if you are defeated, don’t feel too bad. Cynthia is a really strong opponent. She is not called "the League Champ" for nothing. Her win would be no fluke. Win or lose, you should know that you and your Pokémon have tried your very best.

==Hall Of Fame==
Cynthia will state the room in front of you is the [[Hall of Fame]]. [[Professor Rowan]] arrives and congratulates you. You three will all enter the room one by one.

Rowan says that it has been a long time since he entered this room. Cynthia replies that it is if the last time was when she became the Champion. Then, Cynthia and Rowan will officially welcome you to the Hall of Fame and let you register your Pokémon through the machine.

The information of your Pokémon and the result will be displayed. After that, the credits will roll. "Fin" (means Finish) appears, and you'll be back to the title screen.

You are finally done with the main storyline! But the game is far from over. Although the word "Fin" appears, there are many more adventures waiting for you!

Walkthrough:Pokémon Diamond and Pearl/Part 23

Orderly Chaos: /* Final Preparation */

==Final Preparation==
Don't proceed to challenge the [[Elite Four]] yet. You must do some insanely serious preparation. The most serious one ever.

The Elite Four will be the hardest challenges in the main storyline. You’ll have to fight them all, four in a row. Not really back-to-back -- you have time to heal between fights, but you cannot gain access to a Pokémon Center, so you’ll need a lot of healing items. When you head inside, you can no longer get out until the challenges are over. There is only one way to go: to win and proceed.

Similar to Gym Leaders, each of the Elite Four specializes in a single type. Therefore, there are at least 4 types of Pokémon for you to face off. Moreover, at least one Pokémon in three of their teams does NOT belong to their specializing types, so bring Pokémon with different types of moves.

When you beat one, you can face the next Elite Four, and he/she will have a team that is stronger than the team of the previous Elite Four. That means the last one will be the strongest out of the 4. The Elite Four have five Pokémon in each of their team. Their Pokémon at at levels ranging from 53 to 63. When one of their Pokémon is defeated, they'll send in their remaining Pokémon depending on the situation, not according to the order of the list, which you should know. Be careful that you need to bring their Pokémon down without making them survive with less than 30% of their HP, or the Elite Four will use Full Restores.

There is also one more challenge after beating the Elite Four. That’s a battle facing the League Champion. Similar to [[Rival]] [[Barry]], the Champ has a full party that doesn’t specialize in a type, so be wary and bring a team with Pokémon in a variety of types. The Champ’s strongest Pokémon is at above Level 65, so be extra careful!

'''Make sure that you have done the following things before going on:'''
*'''Buy a lot of medicines!'''
**'''Buy at least 40 of each necessary medicine''', excluding different versions of Potions.
***'''Buying 45 to 50 of each is recommended.'''
**To save money, don't buy [[Super Potion|Super Potions]], and don't buy very many bottles of [[Potion]].
***You may still need to buy many bottles of [[Hyper Potion]], [[Max Potion]] and [[Full Restore]], though.
***Buy [[Drink|Drinks]] (i.e. Fresh Water, Soda Pop, Lemonade, Moomoo Milk) instead of the Potions. You should know where to buy them because you had just bought a lot before going through [[Victory Road]].
*'''You may consider about buying [[Battle item|Battle Items]].'''
**e.g.: X Attack, X Defend, X Special, X Sp. Def, X Speed, X Accuracy, Dire Hit, Guard Spec.
**Some of the Battle items, especially those started with X, enhances stats of your Pokémon.
**Buy 20 to 40 of each if you need.

==VS Elite Four==
When you are ready, proceed to the {{tc|Ace Trainer}} that guards the corridor to the Elite Four. Talk to him, and he’ll check if you have all of the 8 [[Sinnoh]] Gym Badges. If you have, he’ll step aside, and let you proceed. '''Remember: Once you head in, NO turning back!'''
===VS Aaron===
'''Make sure that you heal your Pokémon before proceeding!'''

Proceed through the corridor. The first Elite Four is [[Aaron (Elite Four)|Aaron]]. He specializes in the {{type2|Bug}}. The following battle will probably be your easiest Pokémon League fight.

Aaron opens up the fight with {{p|Dustox}}. You should know how to deal with it after all those battles with [[Team Galactic]]. Its only attacking move is {{m|Bug Buzz}}. If it uses {{m|Double Team}} to raise its evasiveness too many times, fight back with some moves like {{m|Aerial Ace}} that never miss, or try to KO it before it raises its evasiveness too high. Watch out for {{m|Toxic}}, which inflicts bad poison if it hits your Pokémon. You know what {{m|Light Screen}} does, don't you?

You should also know how to deal with {{p|Beautifly}}. However, this one is totally offensive with Special-based moves. {{type2|Rock}} moves overwhelm it, but watch out for {{m|Energy Ball}}, which may also reduce your Special Defense! It also knows Bug Buzz, {{m|Psychic}}, and {{m|Shadow Ball}}. If you chose [[p|Infernape]], watch out for Psychic.

You faced {{p|Heracross}} before, during the final Rival Battle. This one is also totally offensive, but with Physical-based moves. {{type2|Flying}} moves overwhelm it, but be extra careful because Heracross knows {{m|Stone Edge}}, which has a higher-than-usual critical-hit ratio. It also has {{m|Night Slash}}, as well as {{m|Megahorn}}, so don’t even try using Psychic-type Pokémon. It also has {{m|Close Combat}}, which hits just as hard as Megahorn but is more accurate. After using Close Combat, though, Heracross's Defense and Special Defense will be lowered, so use that chance to hit hard!

{{p|Vespiquen}} is another Bug/Flying-type and the evolution of female {{p|Combee}}. It has all of its three signature moves: {{m|Attack Order}}, {{m|Defend Order}}, and {{m|Heal Order}}. From the names, you can deduce that Attack Order deals damage, Defend Order raises its defensive stats and Heal Order heals it. It also has {{m|Power Gem}} to counter Flying-type Pokémon. Rock-type moves will, again, overwhelm this Pokémon. A good {{type2|Fire}} or Flying-type move will also take it out.

Aaron’s strongest Pokémon is {{p|Drapion}}, at Lv.57. It is not a Bug-type Pokémon, but it evolves from the Poison/Bug-type {{p|Skorupi}}. Drapion is a {{t|Poison}}/Dark-type Pokémon, so its only weaknesses are Ground-type moves. However, if you decide to use Ground-types, make sure to watch out for {{m|Ice Fang}}! It also has {{m|Cross Poison}}, {{m|X-Scissor}} and {{m|Aerial Ace}}, all of which will hit hard, especially Cross Poison. Send in Pokémon with high Defense to shut down its attacks.

After you beat Aaron, he’ll tell you that three more Trainers are waiting for you and are tougher than him. Get ready!

===VS Bertha===
'''Make sure that you heal your Pokémon before proceeding!'''

Proceed through the corridor. The second Elite Four is [[Bertha]]. Her team specializes in {{type2|Ground}}. Don’t think Flying-type Pokémon can avoid all of the attacks from her Pokémon, though.

Her first Pokémon is {{p|Quagsire}}. You should know how to deal with it, but in case you forgot, {{type2|Grass}} moves are its (only) nightmares. It only has one attacking move: {{m|Dig}}, which is a two-turn attack. It has {{m|Sandstorm}} that summons a sandstorm for 5 turns. It also has {{m|Protect}} (you should know what it does). Similar to Aaron’s Dustox, it has Double Team.

{{p|Sudowoodo}} looks like a small tree, but it is not a Grass-type Pokémon. It is also not a Ground-type Pokémon. Instead, it’s a pure Rock-type Pokémon. Similar to Quagsire, it has Sandstorm. Moreover, it also has {{m|Sucker Punch}} to strike first and catch you off guard if you are attacking. It also has {{m|Earthquake}} and a Fighting-type move {{m|Hammer Arm}}. You should know how to deal with it. {{type2|Water}}, Grass-type, Fighting-type and Ground-type moves can finish it off.

{{p|Whiscash}} is another Water/Ground-type Pokémon, and also the evolution of {{p|Barboach}}. Again, Grass-type moves are its nightmares. This Pokémon is totally offensive with Physical-based moves. Be extremely careful if your Pokémon has a lower level than Whiscash’s level and are not Flying-type Pokémon! Whiscash has {{m|Fissure}}, which is a fatal move -- it will immediately kill your Pokémon if it hits! It also has {{m|Rock Slide}} to hit Flying-type Pokémon. Moreover, it has {{m|Aqua Tail}} and {{m|Zen Headbutt}} (most Grass-type Pokémon are also partly Poison-type Pokémon, so be wary).

{{p|Golem}}, the evolution of {{p|Graveler}}, as well as the final form of {{p|Geodude}}, is a Rock/Ground-type Pokémon, so you should know how to deal with it. Water-type and Grass-type moves are its major weaknesses, but Fighting-type and Ground-type moves may work too. It has the common Ground-type move Earthquake, the Steel-type {{m|Gyro Ball}} to hit faster Pokémon for more damage and {{m|Brick Break}} to counter {{type2|Steel}} Pokémon. It also has Sandstorm, similar to Sudowoodo.

Bertha’s strongest Pokémon is {{p|Hippowdon}}, the evolution of {{p|Hippopotas}}, at Lv.59. This Pokémon can be a monster if you don't knock it out right away. Its [[ability]] [[Sand Stream]] summons a sandstorm that lasts for the whole battle, even if other Pokémon summoned a sandstorm. Like Golem and Sudowoodo, it has Earthquake. It also has Stone Edge to counter Ice-type and Flying-type Pokémon, as well as the Dark-type {{m|Crunch}} that may reduce Defense stat of your Pokémon. Don’t let it use {{m|Curse}} for too many times, or its Attack and Defense will skyrocket, making its three attacking moves (all of them are Physical-based) dreadful. Water-type, Ice-type or Grass-type moves are your best choices.

After you beat her, she’ll think that you can go as far as you want. Talk to her again, and she’ll tell you that the Trainer in the next room is much more formidable.
===VS Flint===
'''Make sure that you heal your Pokémon before proceeding!'''

Proceed through the corridor. The third Elite Four is [[Flint (Elite Four)|Flint]], which you saw earlier in [[Sunyshore City]]. His team "specializes" in {{type2|Fire}}, but due to the lack of Fire-type Pokémon in this Sinnoh Region, he only has two Fire-type Pokémon. Be prepared to face a team with Pokémon in diverse types.

He starts with {{p|Rapidash}} -- the evolution of {{p|Ponyta}}. It is extremely fast. It has {{m|Flare Blitz}} that hurts a lot but also deals serious recoil damage like {{m|Double-Edge}}. It also has {{m|Bounce}}, which is a Flying-type move and a two-turn attack like {{m|Fly}}. Water-type, Ground-type and Rock-type moves are your best choices, but be careful of its {{m|SolarBeam}}, which is a Grass-type move! Don’t let it use {{m|Sunny Day}}. What Sunny Day does is not only boosting power of Fire-type moves. It also lets SolarBeam to fire right away without charging!

{{p|Drifblim}} is a Ghost/Flying-type Pokémon. It has Double Team (like Aaron’s Dustox and Bertha’s Quagsire) and {{m|Baton Pass}} to switch to another Pokémon while passing all stat changes along. The {{type2|Ghost}} move {{m|Ominous Wind}} is its only attacking move, but it might raise all of its stats at once. Its only Fire-type move is {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, which inflicts burn. Hit it back with Dark-type, Electric-type, Ice-type, Rock-type or your own {{type2|Ghost}} moves, but beware of its ability [[Aftermath]], which damages the Pokémon landing finishing blow!

{{p|Steelix}} is a Steel/Ground-type Pokémon and the evolution of {{p|Onix}}, which you should know. It has {{m|Rock Tomb}} that may reduce Speed of your Pokémon and {{m|Screech}} to make Defense stat of your Pokémon plummet. It also has {{m|Fire Fang}} that may burn your Pokémon or make it flinch, and Sunny Day, similar to Rapidash. Hit it with Water-type, Ground-type, Fighting-type or your own Fire-type moves.

{{p|Lopunny}} is a pure {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon, and the evolution of {{p|Buneary}}. Only {{type2|Fighting}} moves will deal super-effective damage. Be careful that it has [[Cute Charm]] as its ability. If your Pokémon's gender is Lopunny's opposite one (in this case, if you use a female Pokémon), using moves that make contact may result in infatuation. However, using Special-based moves like {{m|Focus Blast}} are unsafe either because of {{m|Mirror Coat}}, which reflects any Special-based attacks for double damage. It has {{m|Charm}} to make Attack stat of your Pokémon plummet, Sunny Day (like Rapidash and Steelix) and {{m|Fire Punch}} that may burn your Pokémon.

Flint’s strongest Pokémon is {{p|Infernape}} -- the evolution of {{p|Monferno}}, as well as the final form of {{p|Chimchar}}. It is a Lv.61 Fire/Fighting-type Pokémon. It has high Attack, Sp. Atk and Speed. It has Flare Blitz, similar to Rapidash, and Earthquake, similar to 3 of Bertha’s Pokémon. It also has {{m|Mach Punch}} to hit fast (like {{m|Quick Attack}}) and {{m|ThunderPunch}} to counter Flying-type Pokémon and may inflict paralysis. Water-type, Ground-type, Flying-type (beware of ThunderPunch) and Psychic-type moves are your best choices.

After beating Flint, he’ll tell you to keep going.
===VS Lucian===
'''Make sure that you heal your Pokémon before proceeding!'''

Proceed through the corridor. The fourth and final Elite Four is [[Lucian]]. His team specializes in {{type2|Psychic}}. Unlike the previous 3, all of his Pokémon are Psychic-type Pokémon. {{type2|Dark}} Pokémon are the most advantageous, but having immunity doesn’t mean everything. 4 of his Pokémon know {{m|Psychic}}, which may reduce Sp. Def of your Pokémon if it hits.

He starts with {{p|Mr. Mime}}. It is a pure Psychic-type Pokémon. It may surprise you with the Electric-type {{m|Thunderbolt}} or set up with {{m|Reflect}} and Light Screen. Render it unable to battle fast with Dark-type, Bug-type or Ghost-type moves.

{{p|Girafarig}} is a Normal/Psychic Pokémon, so Ghost-type moves have no effect. It has {{m|Double Hit}} to hit your Pokémon twice in a row. It also has {{m|Shadow Ball}} and {{m|Crunch}} that may reduce Sp. Def and Defense respectively, as well as countering Ghost-type Pokémon. Deal significant damage on it with Dark-type and Bug-type moves.

{{p|Medicham}} is a Fighting/Psychic-type Pokémon and the evolution of {{p|Meditite}}. It is the only one of Lucian’s Pokémon that doesn’t have any Psychic-type moves, thus doesn’t have the move Psychic. Actually, its moves are all punches! It has {{m|Drain Punch}} (has the same power and draining effect as {{m|Giga Drain}}) and three elemental punches -- Fire Punch, {{m|Ice Punch}} and ThunderPunch. Flying-type (be careful of Ice Punch and ThunderPunch) and Ghost-type moves are your best bet.

{{p|Alakazam}} is a pure Psychic-type Pokémon. It is the evolution of {{p|Kadabra}} and the final form of {{p|Abra}}. It has Energy Ball to surprise you and reduce Sp. Def stat of your Pokémon. It also has {{m|Focus Blast}}, which hits as hard as Close Combat and counters Dark-type Pokémon. It may also use {{m|Recover}} to heal up.

Lucian’s strongest Pokémon is {{p|Bronzong}} -- the evolution of {{p|Bronzor}}, at Lv.63. It is a Steel/Psychic-type Pokémon, making it only weak to Fire-type and Ground-type moves, but due to its ability [[Levitate]], Fire-type moves are your only choice. Be extremely careful: it has Earthquake! It also has Gyro Ball to counter faster Pokémon, similar to Bertha’s Golem. It has {{m|Calm Mind}} to raise its Sp. Atk and Sp. Def.

After beating Lucian, he’ll note that "your power is real" and say:

''"Congratulations. You have beaten the Elite Four. However, that doesn't mean you're done with the Pokémon league. There remains the [[Champion]]. I should warn you—the Champion is far stronger than the Elite Four."''

Great job! You have finally beaten the Elite Four, but your challenge is not over! You still need to face the Champion.

==VS Champion==
'''Make sure that you heal your Pokémon before proceeding!'''

This corridor is longer. Don't go into Champion's room yet because once you go inside, the battle will start! Keep in mind you can’t switch the order of your Pokémon once you head inside.

Guess who? Remember the one who gave you {{HM|01|Cut}}, [[SecretPotion]] and [[Old Charm]]? That’s [[Cynthia]]. Yep, Cynthia is the League Champion! She has a full team with Pokémon in different types and at or above Lv. 60. This will be your most difficult fight (at least in the main storyline), but try your best to beat her!

Her first Pokémon is {{p|Spiritomb}}. Due to its Ghost/Dark type, it has no weaknesses normally. Yup, '''no weaknesses'''. You can only bring it down with your strongest attacks that aren’t Normal-, Fighting- or Psychic-type moves, or by identifying it with {{m|Foresight}}, {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, hence removing two of its immunities and exposing its weaknesses to Fighting-type moves. It possesses {{m|Embargo}} to prevent you from using items on your Pokémon, and also Psychic, {{m|Dark Pulse}} (which may make your Pokémon flinch) and {{m|Silver Wind}}, a Bug-type move that might raise all of its stats at once.

{{p|Gastrodon}}— the evolution of {{p|Shellos}}, is a Water/Ground-type Pokémon, so it has Grass-type moves as its nightmares. It's all out offensive with {{m|Muddy Water}} (which may reduce Accuracy of your Pokémon), {{m|Sludge Bomb}} (counters Grass-type Pokémon and may inflict poison), Earthquake and Stone Edge (counters Flying-type Pokémon).

{{p|Roserade}}— the evolution of {{p|Roselia}} and the final form of {{p|Budew}}, is a Grass/Poison-type Pokémon. It is all out offensive with Special-based moves: Sludge Bomb (like Gastrodon), Energy Ball (like Aaron’s Beautifly and Lucian’s Alakazam), Shadow Ball (like Lucian’s Girafarig) and {{m|Extrasensory}}. You should know how to deal with it: Fire-type, Flying-type, Ice-type and Psychic-type (beware of Shadow Ball) moves are the bane of it.

{{p|Lucario}} is a Fighting/Steel-type Pokémon and the evolution of {{p|Riolu}}. This Aura Pokémon is also all out offensive with {{m|Aura Sphere}} (a Fighting-type move that never misses), {{m|Dragon Pulse}}, Psychic and Earthquake. You should know how to deal with it, but in case you forgot, hit back with Fire-type moves (beware of Earthquake), Ground-type moves or your own Fighting-type moves (beware of Psychic).

{{p|Milotic}}— the evolution of {{p|Feebas}}, is a pure Water-type Pokémon. It can attack with {{m|Surf}} and {{m|Ice Beam}} (counters Grass-type Pokémon and may freeze your Pokémon). It can heal itself a little every turn with {{m|Aqua Ring}}. It also possesses Mirror Coat (similar to Flint’s Lopunny). Electric-type and Grass-type (beware of Ice Beam) moves are your best choices, but most of those moves are Special-based, so watch out for Mirror Coat! Try Physical moves like {{m|Spark}}, {{m|Thunder Fang}}, {{m|ThunderPunch}} and {{m|Wood Hammer}}.

Cynthia's strongest Pokémon is {{p|Garchomp}}, a Dragon/Ground-type Pokémon at ''Lv.66'' with stats on par with many legendary Pokémon. Yes, Garchomp is at '''Level 66''', far stronger than any of the Elite Four's Pokémon! It is the evolution of {{p|Gabite}} and final form of {{p|Gible}}. This big, bad beast is all out offensive with Physical-based moves: {{m|Dragon Rush}} (has only 75% accuracy but hits very hard), Brick Break (like Bertha’s Golem, counters Ice-type Pokémon), Earthquake and {{m|Giga Impact}} (like {{m|Hyper Beam}}, requires recharging afterwards but hits extremely hard)! With its very high Attack stat, extremely high Speed stat and insanely high level, all of these moves can deal a ton of damage, or even knock your Pokémon out in a single shot! {{type2|Ice}} moves are its nightmare, but you'll have to beware of Brick Break, and even strong moves like {{m|Ice Beam}} and {{m|Blizzard}} may not render it unable to battle. Hitting back with your own {{type2|Dragon}} moves will only help a little...... and you need to watch out for Dragon Rush.

If you successfully beat Cynthia, congratulations! You are the new League Champion! Cynthia will let you take the lift and go up. But if you are defeated, don’t feel too bad. Cynthia is a really strong opponent. She is not called "the League Champ" for nothing. Her win would be no fluke. Win or lose, you should know that you and your Pokémon have tried your very best.

==Hall Of Fame==
Cynthia will state the room in front of you is the [[Hall of Fame]]. [[Professor Rowan]] arrives and congratulates you. You three will all enter the room one by one.

Rowan says that it has been a long time since he entered this room. Cynthia replies that it is if the last time was when she became the Champion. Then, Cynthia and Rowan will officially welcome you to the Hall of Fame and let you register your Pokémon through the machine.

The information of your Pokémon and the result will be displayed. After that, the credits will roll. "Fin" (means Finish) appears, and you'll be back to the title screen.

You are finally done with the main storyline! But the game is far from over. Although the word "Fin" appears, there are many more adventures waiting for you!

Walkthrough:Pokémon Diamond and Pearl/Part 23

2012-05-31T05:45:44Z

Orderly Chaos: /* VS Aaron */

==Final Preparation==
Don't proceed to challenge the [[Elite Four]] yet. You must do some insanely serious preparation. The most serious one ever.

The Elite Four will be the hardest challenges in the main storyline. You’ll have to fight them all, four in a row. Not really back-to-back -- you have time to heal between fights, but you cannot gain access to a Pokémon Center, so you’ll need a lot of healing items. When you head inside, you can no longer get out until the challenges are over. There is only one way to go: to win and proceed.

Similar to Gym Leaders, each of the Elite Four specializes in a single type. Therefore, there are at least 4 types of Pokémon for you to face off. Moreover, at least one Pokémon in three of their teams does NOT belong to their specializing types, so bring Pokémon with different types of moves.

When you beat one, you can face the next Elite Four, and he/she will have a team that is stronger than the team of the previous Elite Four. That means the last one will be the strongest out of the 4. The Elite Four have five Pokémon in each of their team. Their Pokémon at at levels ranging from 53 to 63. When one of their Pokémon is defeated, they'll send in their remaining Pokémon depending on the situation, not according to the order of the list, which you should know. Be careful that you need to bring their Pokémon down without making them survive with less than 30% of their HP, or the Elite Four will use Full Restores.

There is also one more challenge after beating the Elite Four. That’s a battle facing the League Champion. Similar to [[Rival]] [[Barry]], the Champ has a full party that doesn’t specialize in a type, so be wary and bring a team with Pokémon in a variety of types. The Champ’s strongest Pokémon is at above Level 65, so be extra careful!

'''Make sure that you have done the following things before going on:'''
*'''Buy a lot of medicines!'''
**'''Buy at least 40 of each necessary medicine''', excluding different versions of Potions.
***'''Buying 45 to 50 of each is recommended.'''
**To save money, don't buy [[Super Potion|Super Potions]], and don't buy very many bottles of [[Potion]].
***You may still need to buy many bottles of [[Hyper Potion]], [[Max Potion]] and [[Full Restore]], though.
***Buy [[Drink|Drinks]] (i.e. Fresh Water, Soda Pop, Lemonade, Moomoo Milk) instead of the Potions. You should know where to buy them because you had just bought a lot before going through [[Victory Road]].
*'''You may consider about buying [[Battle item|Battle Items]].'''
**e.g.: X Attack, X Defend, X Special, X Sp. Def, X Speed, X Accuracy, Dire Hit, Guard Spec.
**Some of the Battle items, especially those started with X, enhances stats of your Pokémon.
**Buy 20 to 40 of each if you need.
**Place to buy them: 2/F, [[Veilstone Department Store]], [[Veilstone City]]
*'''Heal your Pokémon!'''
*'''Train your Pokémon until they are above Level 55!'''
**'''Having your Pokémon at about Level 60 is recommended.'''
**'''If your Pokémon are at or below Level 55, DO NOT even dare to proceed!'''
***Good training place: Victory Road, {{rt|223|Sinnoh}}
***You can also fight some Trainers again using [[Vs. Seeker]] in ''outdoor'' places.

==VS Elite Four==
When you are ready, proceed to the {{tc|Ace Trainer}} that guards the corridor to the Elite Four. Talk to him, and he’ll check if you have all of the 8 [[Sinnoh]] Gym Badges. If you have, he’ll step aside, and let you proceed. '''Remember: Once you head in, NO turning back!'''
===VS Aaron===
'''Make sure that you heal your Pokémon before proceeding!'''

Proceed through the corridor. The first Elite Four is [[Aaron (Elite Four)|Aaron]]. He specializes in the {{type2|Bug}}. The following battle will probably be your easiest Pokémon League fight.

Aaron opens up the fight with {{p|Dustox}}. You should know how to deal with it after all those battles with [[Team Galactic]]. Its only attacking move is {{m|Bug Buzz}}. If it uses {{m|Double Team}} to raise its evasiveness too many times, fight back with some moves like {{m|Aerial Ace}} that never miss, or try to KO it before it raises its evasiveness too high. Watch out for {{m|Toxic}}, which inflicts bad poison if it hits your Pokémon. You know what {{m|Light Screen}} does, don't you?

You should also know how to deal with {{p|Beautifly}}. However, this one is totally offensive with Special-based moves. {{type2|Rock}} moves overwhelm it, but watch out for {{m|Energy Ball}}, which may also reduce your Special Defense! It also knows Bug Buzz, {{m|Psychic}}, and {{m|Shadow Ball}}. If you chose [[p|Infernape]], watch out for Psychic.

You faced {{p|Heracross}} before, during the final Rival Battle. This one is also totally offensive, but with Physical-based moves. {{type2|Flying}} moves overwhelm it, but be extra careful because Heracross knows {{m|Stone Edge}}, which has a higher-than-usual critical-hit ratio. It also has {{m|Night Slash}}, as well as {{m|Megahorn}}, so don’t even try using Psychic-type Pokémon. It also has {{m|Close Combat}}, which hits just as hard as Megahorn but is more accurate. After using Close Combat, though, Heracross's Defense and Special Defense will be lowered, so use that chance to hit hard!

{{p|Vespiquen}} is another Bug/Flying-type and the evolution of female {{p|Combee}}. It has all of its three signature moves: {{m|Attack Order}}, {{m|Defend Order}}, and {{m|Heal Order}}. From the names, you can deduce that Attack Order deals damage, Defend Order raises its defensive stats and Heal Order heals it. It also has {{m|Power Gem}} to counter Flying-type Pokémon. Rock-type moves will, again, overwhelm this Pokémon. A good {{type2|Fire}} or Flying-type move will also take it out.

Aaron’s strongest Pokémon is {{p|Drapion}}, at Lv.57. It is not a Bug-type Pokémon, but it evolves from the Poison/Bug-type {{p|Skorupi}}. Drapion is a {{t|Poison}}/Dark-type Pokémon, so its only weaknesses are Ground-type moves. However, if you decide to use Ground-types, make sure to watch out for {{m|Ice Fang}}! It also has {{m|Cross Poison}}, {{m|X-Scissor}} and {{m|Aerial Ace}}, all of which will hit hard, especially Cross Poison. Send in Pokémon with high Defense to shut down its attacks.

After you beat Aaron, he’ll tell you that three more Trainers are waiting for you and are tougher than him. Get ready!

===VS Bertha===
'''Make sure that you heal your Pokémon before proceeding!'''

Proceed through the corridor. The second Elite Four is [[Bertha]]. Her team specializes in {{type2|Ground}}. Don’t think Flying-type Pokémon can avoid all of the attacks from her Pokémon, though.

Her first Pokémon is {{p|Quagsire}}. You should know how to deal with it, but in case you forgot, {{type2|Grass}} moves are its (only) nightmares. It only has one attacking move: {{m|Dig}}, which is a two-turn attack. It has {{m|Sandstorm}} that summons a sandstorm for 5 turns. It also has {{m|Protect}} (you should know what it does). Similar to Aaron’s Dustox, it has Double Team.

{{p|Sudowoodo}} looks like a small tree, but it is not a Grass-type Pokémon. It is also not a Ground-type Pokémon. Instead, it’s a pure Rock-type Pokémon. Similar to Quagsire, it has Sandstorm. Moreover, it also has {{m|Sucker Punch}} to strike first and catch you off guard if you are attacking. It also has {{m|Earthquake}} and a Fighting-type move {{m|Hammer Arm}}. You should know how to deal with it. {{type2|Water}}, Grass-type, Fighting-type and Ground-type moves can finish it off.

{{p|Whiscash}} is another Water/Ground-type Pokémon, and also the evolution of {{p|Barboach}}. Again, Grass-type moves are its nightmares. This Pokémon is totally offensive with Physical-based moves. Be extremely careful if your Pokémon has a lower level than Whiscash’s level and are not Flying-type Pokémon! Whiscash has {{m|Fissure}}, which is a fatal move -- it will immediately kill your Pokémon if it hits! It also has {{m|Rock Slide}} to hit Flying-type Pokémon. Moreover, it has {{m|Aqua Tail}} and {{m|Zen Headbutt}} (most Grass-type Pokémon are also partly Poison-type Pokémon, so be wary).

{{p|Golem}}, the evolution of {{p|Graveler}}, as well as the final form of {{p|Geodude}}, is a Rock/Ground-type Pokémon, so you should know how to deal with it. Water-type and Grass-type moves are its major weaknesses, but Fighting-type and Ground-type moves may work too. It has the common Ground-type move Earthquake, the Steel-type {{m|Gyro Ball}} to hit faster Pokémon for more damage and {{m|Brick Break}} to counter {{type2|Steel}} Pokémon. It also has Sandstorm, similar to Sudowoodo.

Bertha’s strongest Pokémon is {{p|Hippowdon}}, the evolution of {{p|Hippopotas}}, at Lv.59. This Pokémon can be a monster if you don't knock it out right away. Its [[ability]] [[Sand Stream]] summons a sandstorm that lasts for the whole battle, even if other Pokémon summoned a sandstorm. Like Golem and Sudowoodo, it has Earthquake. It also has Stone Edge to counter Ice-type and Flying-type Pokémon, as well as the Dark-type {{m|Crunch}} that may reduce Defense stat of your Pokémon. Don’t let it use {{m|Curse}} for too many times, or its Attack and Defense will skyrocket, making its three attacking moves (all of them are Physical-based) dreadful. Water-type, Ice-type or Grass-type moves are your best choices.

After you beat her, she’ll think that you can go as far as you want. Talk to her again, and she’ll tell you that the Trainer in the next room is much more formidable.
===VS Flint===
'''Make sure that you heal your Pokémon before proceeding!'''

Proceed through the corridor. The third Elite Four is [[Flint (Elite Four)|Flint]], which you saw earlier in [[Sunyshore City]]. His team "specializes" in {{type2|Fire}}, but due to the lack of Fire-type Pokémon in this Sinnoh Region, he only has two Fire-type Pokémon. Be prepared to face a team with Pokémon in diverse types.

He starts with {{p|Rapidash}} -- the evolution of {{p|Ponyta}}. It is extremely fast. It has {{m|Flare Blitz}} that hurts a lot but also deals serious recoil damage like {{m|Double-Edge}}. It also has {{m|Bounce}}, which is a Flying-type move and a two-turn attack like {{m|Fly}}. Water-type, Ground-type and Rock-type moves are your best choices, but be careful of its {{m|SolarBeam}}, which is a Grass-type move! Don’t let it use {{m|Sunny Day}}. What Sunny Day does is not only boosting power of Fire-type moves. It also lets SolarBeam to fire right away without charging!

{{p|Drifblim}} is a Ghost/Flying-type Pokémon. It has Double Team (like Aaron’s Dustox and Bertha’s Quagsire) and {{m|Baton Pass}} to switch to another Pokémon while passing all stat changes along. The {{type2|Ghost}} move {{m|Ominous Wind}} is its only attacking move, but it might raise all of its stats at once. Its only Fire-type move is {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, which inflicts burn. Hit it back with Dark-type, Electric-type, Ice-type, Rock-type or your own {{type2|Ghost}} moves, but beware of its ability [[Aftermath]], which damages the Pokémon landing finishing blow!

{{p|Steelix}} is a Steel/Ground-type Pokémon and the evolution of {{p|Onix}}, which you should know. It has {{m|Rock Tomb}} that may reduce Speed of your Pokémon and {{m|Screech}} to make Defense stat of your Pokémon plummet. It also has {{m|Fire Fang}} that may burn your Pokémon or make it flinch, and Sunny Day, similar to Rapidash. Hit it with Water-type, Ground-type, Fighting-type or your own Fire-type moves.

{{p|Lopunny}} is a pure {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon, and the evolution of {{p|Buneary}}. Only {{type2|Fighting}} moves will deal super-effective damage. Be careful that it has [[Cute Charm]] as its ability. If your Pokémon's gender is Lopunny's opposite one (in this case, if you use a female Pokémon), using moves that make contact may result in infatuation. However, using Special-based moves like {{m|Focus Blast}} are unsafe either because of {{m|Mirror Coat}}, which reflects any Special-based attacks for double damage. It has {{m|Charm}} to make Attack stat of your Pokémon plummet, Sunny Day (like Rapidash and Steelix) and {{m|Fire Punch}} that may burn your Pokémon.

Flint’s strongest Pokémon is {{p|Infernape}} -- the evolution of {{p|Monferno}}, as well as the final form of {{p|Chimchar}}. It is a Lv.61 Fire/Fighting-type Pokémon. It has high Attack, Sp. Atk and Speed. It has Flare Blitz, similar to Rapidash, and Earthquake, similar to 3 of Bertha’s Pokémon. It also has {{m|Mach Punch}} to hit fast (like {{m|Quick Attack}}) and {{m|ThunderPunch}} to counter Flying-type Pokémon and may inflict paralysis. Water-type, Ground-type, Flying-type (beware of ThunderPunch) and Psychic-type moves are your best choices.

After beating Flint, he’ll tell you to keep going.
===VS Lucian===
'''Make sure that you heal your Pokémon before proceeding!'''

Proceed through the corridor. The fourth and final Elite Four is [[Lucian]]. His team specializes in {{type2|Psychic}}. Unlike the previous 3, all of his Pokémon are Psychic-type Pokémon. {{type2|Dark}} Pokémon are the most advantageous, but having immunity doesn’t mean everything. 4 of his Pokémon know {{m|Psychic}}, which may reduce Sp. Def of your Pokémon if it hits.

He starts with {{p|Mr. Mime}}. It is a pure Psychic-type Pokémon. It may surprise you with the Electric-type {{m|Thunderbolt}} or set up with {{m|Reflect}} and Light Screen. Render it unable to battle fast with Dark-type, Bug-type or Ghost-type moves.

{{p|Girafarig}} is a Normal/Psychic Pokémon, so Ghost-type moves have no effect. It has {{m|Double Hit}} to hit your Pokémon twice in a row. It also has {{m|Shadow Ball}} and {{m|Crunch}} that may reduce Sp. Def and Defense respectively, as well as countering Ghost-type Pokémon. Deal significant damage on it with Dark-type and Bug-type moves.

{{p|Medicham}} is a Fighting/Psychic-type Pokémon and the evolution of {{p|Meditite}}. It is the only one of Lucian’s Pokémon that doesn’t have any Psychic-type moves, thus doesn’t have the move Psychic. Actually, its moves are all punches! It has {{m|Drain Punch}} (has the same power and draining effect as {{m|Giga Drain}}) and three elemental punches -- Fire Punch, {{m|Ice Punch}} and ThunderPunch. Flying-type (be careful of Ice Punch and ThunderPunch) and Ghost-type moves are your best bet.

{{p|Alakazam}} is a pure Psychic-type Pokémon. It is the evolution of {{p|Kadabra}} and the final form of {{p|Abra}}. It has Energy Ball to surprise you and reduce Sp. Def stat of your Pokémon. It also has {{m|Focus Blast}}, which hits as hard as Close Combat and counters Dark-type Pokémon. It may also use {{m|Recover}} to heal up.

Lucian’s strongest Pokémon is {{p|Bronzong}} -- the evolution of {{p|Bronzor}}, at Lv.63. It is a Steel/Psychic-type Pokémon, making it only weak to Fire-type and Ground-type moves, but due to its ability [[Levitate]], Fire-type moves are your only choice. Be extremely careful: it has Earthquake! It also has Gyro Ball to counter faster Pokémon, similar to Bertha’s Golem. It has {{m|Calm Mind}} to raise its Sp. Atk and Sp. Def.

After beating Lucian, he’ll note that "your power is real" and say:

''"Congratulations. You have beaten the Elite Four. However, that doesn't mean you're done with the Pokémon league. There remains the [[Champion]]. I should warn you—the Champion is far stronger than the Elite Four."''

Great job! You have finally beaten the Elite Four, but your challenge is not over! You still need to face the Champion.

==VS Champion==
'''Make sure that you heal your Pokémon before proceeding!'''

This corridor is longer. Don't go into Champion's room yet because once you go inside, the battle will start! Keep in mind you can’t switch the order of your Pokémon once you head inside.

Guess who? Remember the one who gave you {{HM|01|Cut}}, [[SecretPotion]] and [[Old Charm]]? That’s [[Cynthia]]. Yep, Cynthia is the League Champion! She has a full team with Pokémon in different types and at or above Lv. 60. This will be your most difficult fight (at least in the main storyline), but try your best to beat her!

Her first Pokémon is {{p|Spiritomb}}. Due to its Ghost/Dark type, it has no weaknesses normally. Yup, '''no weaknesses'''. You can only bring it down with your strongest attacks that aren’t Normal-, Fighting- or Psychic-type moves, or by identifying it with {{m|Foresight}}, {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, hence removing two of its immunities and exposing its weaknesses to Fighting-type moves. It possesses {{m|Embargo}} to prevent you from using items on your Pokémon, and also Psychic, {{m|Dark Pulse}} (which may make your Pokémon flinch) and {{m|Silver Wind}}, a Bug-type move that might raise all of its stats at once.

{{p|Gastrodon}}— the evolution of {{p|Shellos}}, is a Water/Ground-type Pokémon, so it has Grass-type moves as its nightmares. It's all out offensive with {{m|Muddy Water}} (which may reduce Accuracy of your Pokémon), {{m|Sludge Bomb}} (counters Grass-type Pokémon and may inflict poison), Earthquake and Stone Edge (counters Flying-type Pokémon).

{{p|Roserade}}— the evolution of {{p|Roselia}} and the final form of {{p|Budew}}, is a Grass/Poison-type Pokémon. It is all out offensive with Special-based moves: Sludge Bomb (like Gastrodon), Energy Ball (like Aaron’s Beautifly and Lucian’s Alakazam), Shadow Ball (like Lucian’s Girafarig) and {{m|Extrasensory}}. You should know how to deal with it: Fire-type, Flying-type, Ice-type and Psychic-type (beware of Shadow Ball) moves are the bane of it.

{{p|Lucario}} is a Fighting/Steel-type Pokémon and the evolution of {{p|Riolu}}. This Aura Pokémon is also all out offensive with {{m|Aura Sphere}} (a Fighting-type move that never misses), {{m|Dragon Pulse}}, Psychic and Earthquake. You should know how to deal with it, but in case you forgot, hit back with Fire-type moves (beware of Earthquake), Ground-type moves or your own Fighting-type moves (beware of Psychic).

{{p|Milotic}}— the evolution of {{p|Feebas}}, is a pure Water-type Pokémon. It can attack with {{m|Surf}} and {{m|Ice Beam}} (counters Grass-type Pokémon and may freeze your Pokémon). It can heal itself a little every turn with {{m|Aqua Ring}}. It also possesses Mirror Coat (similar to Flint’s Lopunny). Electric-type and Grass-type (beware of Ice Beam) moves are your best choices, but most of those moves are Special-based, so watch out for Mirror Coat! Try Physical moves like {{m|Spark}}, {{m|Thunder Fang}}, {{m|ThunderPunch}} and {{m|Wood Hammer}}.

Cynthia's strongest Pokémon is {{p|Garchomp}}, a Dragon/Ground-type Pokémon at ''Lv.66'' with stats on par with many legendary Pokémon. Yes, Garchomp is at '''Level 66''', far stronger than any of the Elite Four's Pokémon! It is the evolution of {{p|Gabite}} and final form of {{p|Gible}}. This big, bad beast is all out offensive with Physical-based moves: {{m|Dragon Rush}} (has only 75% accuracy but hits very hard), Brick Break (like Bertha’s Golem, counters Ice-type Pokémon), Earthquake and {{m|Giga Impact}} (like {{m|Hyper Beam}}, requires recharging afterwards but hits extremely hard)! With its very high Attack stat, extremely high Speed stat and insanely high level, all of these moves can deal a ton of damage, or even knock your Pokémon out in a single shot! {{type2|Ice}} moves are its nightmare, but you'll have to beware of Brick Break, and even strong moves like {{m|Ice Beam}} and {{m|Blizzard}} may not render it unable to battle. Hitting back with your own {{type2|Dragon}} moves will only help a little...... and you need to watch out for Dragon Rush.

If you successfully beat Cynthia, congratulations! You are the new League Champion! Cynthia will let you take the lift and go up. But if you are defeated, don’t feel too bad. Cynthia is a really strong opponent. She is not called "the League Champ" for nothing. Her win would be no fluke. Win or lose, you should know that you and your Pokémon have tried your very best.

==Hall Of Fame==
Cynthia will state the room in front of you is the [[Hall of Fame]]. [[Professor Rowan]] arrives and congratulates you. You three will all enter the room one by one.

Rowan says that it has been a long time since he entered this room. Cynthia replies that it is if the last time was when she became the Champion. Then, Cynthia and Rowan will officially welcome you to the Hall of Fame and let you register your Pokémon through the machine.

The information of your Pokémon and the result will be displayed. After that, the credits will roll. "Fin" (means Finish) appears, and you'll be back to the title screen.

You are finally done with the main storyline! But the game is far from over. Although the word "Fin" appears, there are many more adventures waiting for you!

== Route 22 ==
[[Image:Kanto Route22 Map.gif|frame|right|Route 22]]

{{rt|22|Kanto}} is a terraced path that follows the mountainous landscape. To the west, it connects to the Pokémon League Reception Gate, which is also accessible from [[New Bark Town]] by way of {{rt|26|Kanto}}. Continue west past the Gate, and you'll be on {{rt|28|Kanto}}, the way to [[Mt. Silver]].

== Route 28 ==
[[Image:KantoJohto Route28 Map.gif|frame|right|Route 28]]

Because of the rocky, uneven terrain, you can't reach the north side of {{rt|28|Kanto}} yet. In order to do so, you'll need to reach the Poké Center near the mountain's entrance, and double-back to the east. {{m|Cut}} down the tree and visit the reclusive Idol inside the lone house — for being one of her "fans", she gives you {{TM|47|Steel Wing}}. Continue east along the grassy ledge to find {{TM|35|Flamethrower}} as well as a hidden {{DL|Vitamin|Rare Candy}}. Head back to the west to reach the foot of the imposing mountain.

== The Foot of Mt Silver ==

{{m|Surf}} across the pond in the south to reach a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Reaper Cloth}}, which evolves a {{p|Dusclops}} into {{p|Dusknoir}} when traded. Stop by the Poké Center to rest your team, and assemble a hardy team of heavy-hitters — the battle that awaits you on the mountain's peak will be the toughest yet. Your team should wield a wide array of attack types, but don't forget to include {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Rock Smash}}, {{m|Waterfall}}, and {{m|Rock Climb}}, or you won't make it to the top. Double-check that your Pokémon are capable of taking on an opposing team with levels in the 80s, and step inside the hallowed mountain. If your Pokémon are not capable to do so, you can still train your Pokémon inside(just stay close to the entrance), or you can fight the Gym Leaders, Elite Four and Champion again until your Pokémon reaches Level 80.

[[Mt. Silver]] is a rough, forbidding mountain that looms on the border between the [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]] regions. It's so dangerous that travelers are only allowed inside if they have [[Professor Oak]]'s permission. The caves inside are enormous, making it that much more of a challenge to reach the mountaintop.

=== Main Chamber ===
First off, let's track down {{p|Moltres|the third of the legendary birds}}. From the mountain's entrance, {{m|surf}} west across the water and use the {{m|Waterfall}} move to continue north. Climb onto the bit of land to the northeast to reach an {{DL|In-battle effect item|Expert Belt}}, which strengthens super-effective moves by 20%. Surf to the northwest and {{m|Rock Climb|climb}} the rock wall. Check the lone rock for an {{DL|Poké Ball|Ultra Ball}}, and climb the next waterfall. Step inside the rear chamber to see {{p|Moltres}} roosting below.

=== Rear West Chamber ===
You won't catch it without a fight, so be ready for its {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Air Slash}} attacks. Start off with {{t|Water}}- or {{type2|Electric}} moves(don't try Rock-type moves -- Rock type is Moltres' major weakness and your Pokémon are probably at a higher level than it) to take a bite out of its HP, then follow up with {{t|Fire}}- or {{type2|Fighting}} attacks to gradually weaken it. Like the other [[legendary birds]], if you end up defeating it, you can encounter it again in the same location by defeating the {{ka|Elite Four}} and {{pkmn|Champion}}.

Depending on how rough that battle was, you may need to leave to rest your team. The mountaintop is still a long way off, so don't plow ahead if your team is in trouble. Don't think of it as a retreat, think of it as a "tactical withdrawal". If you have an extra [[Escape Rope]], you may want to use it now. Come back after healing in the Pokémon Center, head north from the entrance, {{m|Rock Climb|climb the wall}}, and step out onto the mountainside.

=== Mountainside ===
Walk to the south and grab the [[Escape Rope]], then follow the trail up the side of the mountain. When you reach the highest level, turn south to find {{TM|76|Stealth Rock}} before heading north. Step inside the first cave entrance you see for a {{DL|Potion|Full Restore}}, and continue along the narrow mountainside path to reach the next cave entrance.

=== Main Chamber ===
Walk west along the narrow cliff, then turn to the north. Check the lone rock to the northeast for a hidden [[Revive]], then climb the large stairway to the next chamber.

=== Interior 1 ===
The large crater in this chamber will force you to walk in circles to reach the upper levels. Hunt down the {{DL|Ether|Max Elixir}}, [[Revive|Max Revive]], and {{DL|Vitamin|Calcium}}, and step through the exit on the highest northern cliff to reach the mountain's snow-covered midsection.

=== Snowy Exterior ===
Before you take a step, turn to the left and check the rock for a {{DL|Ether|Max Ether}}. Step inside the first cave opening you see to reach the crater chamber, pick up the {{DL|Vitamin|Protein}} and a hidden {{DL|Vitamin|Iron}}, then walk back out into the snow. Head south to the next opening.

Follow the cliff to the south, and another exit.

Head south, then west around the side of the mountain. Don't enter the next cave yet, but {{m|Rock Climb|scale}} the cliffside to reach a {{DL|Incense|Pure Incense}} and a hidden {{DL|Vitamin|Rare Candy}} on the highest cliff. Climb back down the mountainside and step into the cave again.

Walk to the west, and take the next exit back into the snow.

Scale the first cliff, and now you've got a few choices. You can climb up the eastern side to find a hidden {{DL|Potion|Hyper Potion}}, and you can grab a {{evostone|Dawn Stone}} from the western side. Climb back up the central part of the cliff to step inside the next part of the mountain.

=== Interior 2 ===
All you can do here is to follow the trail to the west, and use {{m|Rock Climb}} yet again to scale a huge cliff. Don't miss the [[Revive|Max Revive]] hidden on the rock to the east — with the intense impending battle ahead of you, it couldn't hurt to have an extra Revive. Take the time now to use any health or status items you need. Step out through the exit onto the mountain's snow-covered peak, and get ready for your toughest battle yet!

=== Mountain Peak ===
Walk along the narrow, snowy trail, and you'll come face-to-face with the last great challenge of the game—the former Pokémon League Champion, Pokémon Trainer {{ga|Red}}. He commands the highest-leveled team in the game, ranging from level 80 to level 88 (even stronger than he was in {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, where his highest level was 81, so having your Pokémon at only Level 75 means that you will probably not be able to win, and if your Pokémon are at Level 70 or below, your Pokémon are probably doomed). In order to take on his team, your Pokémon will need access to a powerful array of offensive moves in order to counter all of his team's types. Even with a type advantage, your team members will need to be '''at level 80 at the very least''' in order to stand a chance(having your Pokémon at Level 85 is recommended). Don't hesitate to switch out your Pokémon in order to have a type advantage against {{ga|Red}}'s current Pokémon; after all, Red will be targeting your weaknesses, and he might also switch out his Pokémon instead of healing with Full Restores whenever his Pokémon are in danger. Heal as often as you need to, and use extreme caution if any of your Pokémon are vulnerable to {{type2|Ice}} moves — three of his Pokémon know {{m|Blizzard}}, which has perfect accuracy due to the swirling hailstorm. With the right team, right moves and a huge stock of healing items, you should be able to defeat this legendary Trainer and finally become the ultimate Pokémon master!

==== Pokémon Trainer Red ====
Because you are battling atop a snowy mountain peak, the {{DL|Weather conditions|Hailstorm|snow and ice swirling around you}} will influence the battle from the beginning. {{type2|Ice}}s are immune to the hailstorm, but all other types will take damage.

===== Pikachu =====
[[Image:025.png|frame|right|Pikachu]]
{{ga|Red}} starts off with his {{p|Pikachu}}, at a staggering '''level 88''', it's the HIGHEST-leveled Pokémon owned by an opposing Trainer ever. Because of its {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Light Ball}}, its {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} are doubled, making it that much more of a threat. Its {{m|Volt Tackle}}(an Electric-type {{m|Double-Edge}}) will deal a LOT of damage, so you need to get rid of this electric mouse if you want any hope of defeating Red. One bright side to its signature attack is that it takes 33% of the damage it dishes out in recoil damage. {{type2|Electric}}s only fear one thing — {{type2|Ground}} attacks, so let loose an {{m|Earthquake}} for a super-effective hit. Pikachu's {{stat|Defense}} is terrible, so 1 or 2 good physical hits should also do the job( just be careful that you don't use a move that make contact, or Pikachu may paralyze your Pokémon with its ability, {{a|Static}}). Since Pikachu has {{m|Iron Tail}}, it can deal heavy damage to opposing Pokémon that are partly {{type2|Rock}}, so it is not a bad idea to send a pure {{type2|Ground}} that can take a hit and hit Pikachu super-effectively with a good Physical-based move that doesn't make contact, like {{m|Earthquake}}. Pikachu also has {{m|Thunderbolt}} to deal a lot of damage and {{m|Quick Attack}} to attack first, but a sturdy Ground-type will stop it in its tracks.

===== Venusaur =====
[[Image:003.png|frame|right|Venusaur]]
The {{t|Grass}}/{{type2|Poison}} {{p|Venusaur}} is vulnerable to offensive {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Ice}}-, {{t|Flying}}-, and {{type2|Psychic}} moves, having the most weaknesses on {{ga|Red}}'s team (tied with {{p|Lapras}}). One of Red's favorite combos is to have Venusaur use {{m|Sleep Powder}} followed by {{m|Giga Drain}}; as a non-{{type2|Ice}}, this lets it interfere with your offense as well as restoring its ever-depleting HP due to the hailstorm. Be on the lookout for its {{m|Frenzy Plant}} attack (a Grass-type {{m|Hyper Beam}} that does a lot of damage, but forces the user to recharge after firing and only has 5 PP), and fire off a {{m|Flamethrower}}, {{m|Brave Bird}}, {{m|Psychic}} or other strong attacks that are {{type2|Fire}}, {{type2|Flying}}, {{type2|Ice}} or {{type2|Psychic}}-type. You can also take advantage of the weather by using your own super-accurate {{m|Blizzard}}. Be careful when Venusaur is low on health -- its {{a|Overgrow}} ability will kick in and boosts the power of its Grass-type moves (in this case, Giga Drain and Frenzy Plant). Frenzy Plant can knock your Pokémon out in a single hit if Overgrow kicked in, so you might want to hit it with a weaker attack to make sure Overgrow won't activate, then hammer it with your strongest super-effective move.

===== Charizard =====
[[Image:006.png|frame|right|Charizard]]
As a {{t|Fire}}/{{type2|Flying}}, {{p|Charizard}} fears only {{t|Water}}-, {{t|Electric}}-, and {{type2|Rock}} attacks, especially Rock-type moves, which deal quadruple damage. Remember, Charizard is all out offensive and hits hard, and can tear through your team if you're not careful. Look out for its {{m|Flare Blitz}} (a Fire-type Double-Edge, dealing serious recoil damage) and {{m|Blast Burn}} (a Fire-type Hyper Beam, forcing it recharge after firing and only has 5 PP), as those are sure to cause some serious damage. Look out for its powerful {{m|Dragon Pulse}} and {{m|Air Slash}}, as well. Retaliate with moves like {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Waterfall}}, {{m|Thunderbolt}}, {{m|Stone Edge}} or {{m|Rock Slide}} (courtesy of [[Brock]]'s TM80) to inflict the most damage. An alternative strategy could be to set up {{m|Stealth Rock}} against {{p|Pikachu}}, so that Charizard loses 50% of its health on switching in. Be careful when Charizard is low on health -- its {{a|Blaze}} ability will kick in and boosts the power of its Fire-type moves (in this case, Flare Blitz and Blast Burn). With Charizard's high Sp. Atk, and ability Blaze, Blast Burn will be unbearable. Even Flare Blitz can knock out your Pokémon in one shot if Blaze kicks in. Your best bet is to either set up Stealth Rock and OHKO it with a strong attack, or 2HKO it before it can do too much damage. Blast Burn will undoubtedly be devastating, but Charizard does have to take a turn to recharge after usage, which gives you a chance at a free hit or healing. Or you can inflict him with a [[status condition]] like Paralyzation and hope to get lucky.

===== Blastoise =====
[[Image:009.png|frame|right|Blastoise]]
{{p|Blastoise}} is a pure {{type2|Water}}, so {{t|Grass}}- and {{type2|Electric}} attacks will see the most success — just don't send a Grass-type Pokémon to do the job, because Blastoise's super-accurate {{m|Blizzard}} will make short work of it (although the Blizzard from Blastoise hurt less than Lapras'). Its {{m|Focus Blast}} attack also ensures that you won't use your own {{a|Thick Fat|flabby}} {{p|Snorlax}} to oppose it (although you are unlikely to do so). Its {{m|Flash Cannon}} counters nothing that you will send in to fight against it, so don't worry about this move unless it hurts a lot. It's {{m|Hydro Cannon}} will be its most threatening move, but similar to {{m|Blast Burn}} and {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, this move is a Water-type Hyper Beam, making Blastoise recharge after firing. Moreover, this move is its only Water-type move and only has 5 PP. Like Charizard and Venusaur, Blastoise has the {{a|Torrent}} ability, which also kicks in when it is low on health and boosts the power of its Water-type moves (in this case, only Hydro Cannon), making Hydro Cannon able to knock your Pokémon out in 1 hit. Hopefully you have some high-level Electric Pokémon that can zap it into submission before it has a chance to activate Torrent and go on a Hydro Cannon rampage.

===== Lapras =====
[[Image:131.png|frame|right|Lapras]]
When facing his {{p|Lapras}}, be careful of its {{m|Blizzard}} move, which now has perfect accuracy and [[Same-type attack bonus|same-type attack bonus]]. The Blizzard coming from Lapras will hurt the most and deal a TON of damage. Getting rid of the hailstorm or changing the weather may help. If not, when it pulls off a Blizzard, there is a chance that you will be unable to attack for 5 turns due to [[Freeze (status ailment)|freezing]] (you probably have to heal or revive your Pokémon until Lapras uses up the PP of Blizzard). {{type2|Electric}} attacks are probably your best bet. If you choose to attack with {{type2|Fighting}} moves, avoid using a Fighting-type Pokémon, because of Lapras' {{m|Psychic}} attack. '''Never''' underestimate it, even if it is {{ga|Red}}'s lowest-leveled Pokémon (at only level 80). {{m|Brine}} can catch your Pokémon off guard when your Pokémon's HP is less than half, and it's a Water-type move. Rock-type and Grass-type Pokémon are not good choices either. Don't expect landing a critical hit -- Lapras' ability {{a|Shell Armor}} prevents that.

===== Snorlax =====
[[Image:143.png|frame|right|Snorlax]]
Like {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Snorlax}} is only weak against attacks of a single type; in this case, the {{type2|Fighting}}. Despite being a {{type2|Normal}} and a Sleeping Pokémon, it also knows attacks that you may not expect — {{m|Shadow Ball}}, {{m|Crunch}} and {{m|Blizzard}}. Luckily, Snorlax has quite low {{stat|Special Attack}}, so Shadow Ball should not deal too much damage, but Crunch is quite powerful. This means that you can't expect to use a {{type2|Ghost}}'s immunity to help you take it down. If you get unlucky, Shadow Ball and Crunch will reduce your Sp. Def and Defense. Its {{m|Giga Impact}} move is an variation of {{m|Hyper Beam}}, but also forces it to rest for a turn and only has 5 PP. In addition, it is the third of {{ga|Red}}'s Pokémon that can call in the {{m|Blizzard|bone-chilling snowstorm}}, making it even more essential to defeat it as soon as possible (although Snorlax's doesn't hurt a lot). Moves like {{m|Close Combat}} and {{m|Superpower}} will be the most damaging. Because of its lower {{stat|Defense}}, it is a good idea to stick to Physical attacks. It has forgotten all moves that are related to sleeping, such as {{m|Rest}}, {{m|Snore}} and {{m|Sleep Talk}}, so don't worry about putting it asleep.

If you manage to defeat him, {{ga|Red}} pauses for a second, and disappears in the blink of an eye. Don't worry, he's not gone forever — defeat the {{ka|Elite Four}} and the {{pkmn|Champion}} again, and Red will reappear on the mountaintop, staring off into the swirling snow.

The game saves your progress, the credits roll for a second time and you will start off again at your home in [[New Bark Town]]... but you're still not done! Take some time to chill out at home before heading off again — since [[Professor Oak]] was the one who let you climb [[Mt. Silver|the mountain]], he'll want to hear how you defeated a former Champion like {{ga|Red}}. Cut across the [[Johto]] border, and {{m|fly}} back to [[Pallet Town]].

Walkthrough:Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver/Part 28

2012-05-30T09:32:13Z

Orderly Chaos: /* Charizard */

<center> This is the Bulbapedia walkthrough for [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions]]. This walkthrough follows the remade [[Nintendo DS]] versions, not {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. The guide for those can be found [[Appendix:Gold and Silver walkthrough|here]].</center>

-----

== Route 22 ==
[[Image:Kanto Route22 Map.gif|frame|right|Route 22]]

{{rt|22|Kanto}} is a terraced path that follows the mountainous landscape. To the west, it connects to the Pokémon League Reception Gate, which is also accessible from [[New Bark Town]] by way of {{rt|26|Kanto}}. Continue west past the Gate, and you'll be on {{rt|28|Kanto}}, the way to [[Mt. Silver]].

== Route 28 ==
[[Image:KantoJohto Route28 Map.gif|frame|right|Route 28]]

Because of the rocky, uneven terrain, you can't reach the north side of {{rt|28|Kanto}} yet. In order to do so, you'll need to reach the Poké Center near the mountain's entrance, and double-back to the east. {{m|Cut}} down the tree and visit the reclusive Idol inside the lone house — for being one of her "fans", she gives you {{TM|47|Steel Wing}}. Continue east along the grassy ledge to find {{TM|35|Flamethrower}} as well as a hidden {{DL|Vitamin|Rare Candy}}. Head back to the west to reach the foot of the imposing mountain.

{{m|Surf}} across the pond in the south to reach a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Reaper Cloth}}, which evolves a {{p|Dusclops}} into {{p|Dusknoir}} when traded. Stop by the Poké Center to rest your team, and assemble a hardy team of heavy-hitters — the battle that awaits you on the mountain's peak will be the toughest yet. Your team should wield a wide array of attack types, but don't forget to include {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Rock Smash}}, {{m|Waterfall}}, and {{m|Rock Climb}}, or you won't make it to the top. Double-check that your Pokémon are capable of taking on an opposing team with levels in the 80s, and step inside the hallowed mountain. If your Pokémon are not capable to do so, you can still train your Pokémon inside(just stay close to the entrance), or you can fight the Gym Leaders, Elite Four and Champion again until your Pokémon reaches Level 80.

[[Mt. Silver]] is a rough, forbidding mountain that looms on the border between the [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]] regions. It's so dangerous that travelers are only allowed inside if they have [[Professor Oak]]'s permission. The caves inside are enormous, making it that much more of a challenge to reach the mountaintop.

=== Main Chamber ===
First off, let's track down {{p|Moltres|the third of the legendary birds}}. From the mountain's entrance, {{m|surf}} west across the water and use the {{m|Waterfall}} move to continue north. Climb onto the bit of land to the northeast to reach an {{DL|In-battle effect item|Expert Belt}}, which strengthens super-effective moves by 20%. Surf to the northwest and {{m|Rock Climb|climb}} the rock wall. Check the lone rock for an {{DL|Poké Ball|Ultra Ball}}, and climb the next waterfall. Step inside the rear chamber to see {{p|Moltres}} roosting below.

=== Rear West Chamber ===
You won't catch it without a fight, so be ready for its {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Air Slash}} attacks. Start off with {{t|Water}}- or {{type2|Electric}} moves(don't try Rock-type moves -- Rock type is Moltres' major weakness and your Pokémon are probably at a higher level than it) to take a bite out of its HP, then follow up with {{t|Fire}}- or {{type2|Fighting}} attacks to gradually weaken it. Like the other [[legendary birds]], if you end up defeating it, you can encounter it again in the same location by defeating the {{ka|Elite Four}} and {{pkmn|Champion}}.

Depending on how rough that battle was, you may need to leave to rest your team. The mountaintop is still a long way off, so don't plow ahead if your team is in trouble. Don't think of it as a retreat, think of it as a "tactical withdrawal". If you have an extra [[Escape Rope]], you may want to use it now. Come back after healing in the Pokémon Center, head north from the entrance, {{m|Rock Climb|climb the wall}}, and step out onto the mountainside.

=== Mountainside ===
Walk to the south and grab the [[Escape Rope]], then follow the trail up the side of the mountain. When you reach the highest level, turn south to find {{TM|76|Stealth Rock}} before heading north. Step inside the first cave entrance you see for a {{DL|Potion|Full Restore}}, and continue along the narrow mountainside path to reach the next cave entrance.

=== Main Chamber ===
Walk west along the narrow cliff, then turn to the north. Check the lone rock to the northeast for a hidden [[Revive]], then climb the large stairway to the next chamber.

=== Interior 1 ===
The large crater in this chamber will force you to walk in circles to reach the upper levels. Hunt down the {{DL|Ether|Max Elixir}}, [[Revive|Max Revive]], and {{DL|Vitamin|Calcium}}, and step through the exit on the highest northern cliff to reach the mountain's snow-covered midsection.

=== Snowy Exterior ===
Before you take a step, turn to the left and check the rock for a {{DL|Ether|Max Ether}}. Step inside the first cave opening you see to reach the crater chamber, pick up the {{DL|Vitamin|Protein}} and a hidden {{DL|Vitamin|Iron}}, then walk back out into the snow. Head south to the next opening.

Follow the cliff to the south, and another exit.

Head south, then west around the side of the mountain. Don't enter the next cave yet, but {{m|Rock Climb|scale}} the cliffside to reach a {{DL|Incense|Pure Incense}} and a hidden {{DL|Vitamin|Rare Candy}} on the highest cliff. Climb back down the mountainside and step into the cave again.

Walk to the west, and take the next exit back into the snow.

Scale the first cliff, and now you've got a few choices. You can climb up the eastern side to find a hidden {{DL|Potion|Hyper Potion}}, and you can grab a {{evostone|Dawn Stone}} from the western side. Climb back up the central part of the cliff to step inside the next part of the mountain.

=== Interior 2 ===
All you can do here is to follow the trail to the west, and use {{m|Rock Climb}} yet again to scale a huge cliff. Don't miss the [[Revive|Max Revive]] hidden on the rock to the east — with the intense impending battle ahead of you, it couldn't hurt to have an extra Revive. Take the time now to use any health or status items you need. Step out through the exit onto the mountain's snow-covered peak, and get ready for your toughest battle yet!

=== Mountain Peak ===
Walk along the narrow, snowy trail, and you'll come face-to-face with the last great challenge of the game—the former Pokémon League Champion, Pokémon Trainer {{ga|Red}}. He commands the highest-leveled team in the game, ranging from level 80 to level 88 (even stronger than he was in {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, where his highest level was 81, so having your Pokémon at only Level 75 means that you will probably not be able to win, and if your Pokémon are at Level 70 or below, your Pokémon are probably doomed). In order to take on his team, your Pokémon will need access to a powerful array of offensive moves in order to counter all of his team's types. Even with a type advantage, your team members will need to be '''at level 80 at the very least''' in order to stand a chance(having your Pokémon at Level 85 is recommended). Don't hesitate to switch out your Pokémon in order to have a type advantage against {{ga|Red}}'s current Pokémon; after all, Red will be targeting your weaknesses, and he might also switch out his Pokémon instead of healing with Full Restores whenever his Pokémon are in danger. Heal as often as you need to, and use extreme caution if any of your Pokémon are vulnerable to {{type2|Ice}} moves — three of his Pokémon know {{m|Blizzard}}, which has perfect accuracy due to the swirling hailstorm. With the right team, right moves and a huge stock of healing items, you should be able to defeat this legendary Trainer and finally become the ultimate Pokémon master!

==== Pokémon Trainer Red ====
Because you are battling atop a snowy mountain peak, the {{DL|Weather conditions|Hailstorm|snow and ice swirling around you}} will influence the battle from the beginning. {{type2|Ice}}s are immune to the hailstorm, but all other types will take damage.

===== Pikachu =====
[[Image:025.png|frame|right|Pikachu]]
{{ga|Red}} starts off with his {{p|Pikachu}}, at a staggering '''level 88''', it's the HIGHEST-leveled Pokémon owned by an opposing Trainer ever. Because of its {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Light Ball}}, its {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} are doubled, making it that much more of a threat. Its {{m|Volt Tackle}}(an Electric-type {{m|Double-Edge}}) will deal a LOT of damage, so you need to get rid of this electric mouse if you want any hope of defeating Red. One bright side to its signature attack is that it takes 33% of the damage it dishes out in recoil damage. {{type2|Electric}}s only fear one thing — {{type2|Ground}} attacks, so let loose an {{m|Earthquake}} for a super-effective hit. Pikachu's {{stat|Defense}} is terrible, so 1 or 2 good physical hits should also do the job( just be careful that you don't use a move that make contact, or Pikachu may paralyze your Pokémon with its ability, {{a|Static}}). Since Pikachu has {{m|Iron Tail}}, it can deal heavy damage to opposing Pokémon that are partly {{type2|Rock}}, so it is not a bad idea to send a pure {{type2|Ground}} that can take a hit and hit Pikachu super-effectively with a good Physical-based move that doesn't make contact, like {{m|Earthquake}}. Pikachu also has {{m|Thunderbolt}} to deal a lot of damage and {{m|Quick Attack}} to attack first, but a sturdy Ground-type will stop it in its tracks.

===== Venusaur =====
[[Image:003.png|frame|right|Venusaur]]
The {{t|Grass}}/{{type2|Poison}} {{p|Venusaur}} is vulnerable to offensive {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Ice}}-, {{t|Flying}}-, and {{type2|Psychic}} moves, having the most weaknesses on {{ga|Red}}'s team (tied with {{p|Lapras}}). One of Red's favorite combos is to have Venusaur use {{m|Sleep Powder}} followed by {{m|Giga Drain}}; as a non-{{type2|Ice}}, this lets it interfere with your offense as well as restoring its ever-depleting HP due to the hailstorm. Be on the lookout for its {{m|Frenzy Plant}} attack (a Grass-type {{m|Hyper Beam}} that does a lot of damage, but forces the user to recharge after firing and only has 5 PP), and fire off a {{m|Flamethrower}}, {{m|Brave Bird}}, {{m|Psychic}} or other strong attacks that are {{type2|Fire}}, {{type2|Flying}}, {{type2|Ice}} or {{type2|Psychic}}-type. You can also take advantage of the weather by using your own super-accurate {{m|Blizzard}}. Be careful when Venusaur is low on health -- its {{a|Overgrow}} ability will kick in and boosts the power of its Grass-type moves (in this case, Giga Drain and Frenzy Plant). Frenzy Plant can knock your Pokémon out in a single hit if Overgrow kicked in, so you might want to hit it with a weaker attack to make sure Overgrow won't activate, then hammer it with your strongest super-effective move.

===== Charizard =====
[[Image:006.png|frame|right|Charizard]]
As a {{t|Fire}}/{{type2|Flying}}, {{p|Charizard}} fears only {{t|Water}}-, {{t|Electric}}-, and {{type2|Rock}} attacks, especially Rock-type moves, which deal quadruple damage. Remember, Charizard is all out offensive and hits hard, and can tear through your team if you're not careful. Look out for its {{m|Flare Blitz}} (a Fire-type Double-Edge, dealing serious recoil damage) and {{m|Blast Burn}} (a Fire-type Hyper Beam, forcing it recharge after firing and only has 5 PP), as those are sure to cause some serious damage. Look out for its powerful {{m|Dragon Pulse}} and {{m|Air Slash}}, as well. Retaliate with moves like {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Waterfall}}, {{m|Thunderbolt}}, {{m|Stone Edge}} or {{m|Rock Slide}} (courtesy of [[Brock]]'s TM80) to inflict the most damage. An alternative strategy could be to set up {{m|Stealth Rock}} against {{p|Pikachu}}, so that Charizard loses 50% of its health on switching in. Be careful when Charizard is low on health -- its {{a|Blaze}} ability will kick in and boosts the power of its Fire-type moves (in this case, Flare Blitz and Blast Burn). With Charizard's high Sp. Atk, and ability Blaze, Blast Burn will be unbearable. Even Flare Blitz can knock out your Pokémon in one shot if Blaze kicks in. Your best bet is to either set up Stealth Rock and OHKO it with a strong attack, or 2HKO it before it can do too much damage. Blast Burn will undoubtedly be devastating, but Charizard does have to take a turn to recharge after usage, which gives you a chance at a free hit or healing. Or you can inflict him with a [[status condition]] like Paralyzation and hope to get lucky.

===== Blastoise =====
[[Image:009.png|frame|right|Blastoise]]
{{p|Blastoise}} is a pure {{type2|Water}}, so {{t|Grass}}- and {{type2|Electric}} attacks will see the most success — just don't send a Grass-type Pokémon to do the job, because Blastoise's super-accurate {{m|Blizzard}} will make short work of it (although the Blizzard from Blastoise hurt less than Lapras'). Its {{m|Focus Blast}} attack also ensures that you won't use your own {{a|Thick Fat|flabby}} {{p|Snorlax}} to oppose it (although you are unlikely to do so). Its {{m|Flash Cannon}} counters nothing that you will send in to fight against it, so don't worry about this move unless it hurts a lot. It's {{m|Hydro Cannon}} will be its most threatening move, but similar to {{m|Blast Burn}} and {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, this move is a Water-type Hyper Beam, making Blastoise recharge after firing. Moreover, this move is its only Water-type move and only has 5 PP. Like Charizard and Venusaur, Blastoise has the {{a|Torrent}} ability, which also kicks in when it is low on health and boosts the power of its Water-type moves (in this case, only Hydro Cannon), making Hydro Cannon able to knock your Pokémon out in 1 hit.

===== Lapras =====
[[Image:131.png|frame|right|Lapras]]
When facing his {{p|Lapras}}, be careful of its {{m|Blizzard}} move, which now has perfect accuracy and [[Same-type attack bonus|same-type attack bonus]]. The Blizzard coming from Lapras will hurt the most and deal a TON of damage. Getting rid of the hailstorm or changing the weather may help. If not, when it pulls off a Blizzard, there is a chance that you will be unable to attack for 5 turns due to [[Freeze (status ailment)|freezing]] (you probably have to heal or revive your Pokémon until Lapras uses up the PP of Blizzard). {{type2|Electric}} attacks are probably your best bet. If you choose to attack with {{type2|Fighting}} moves, avoid using a Fighting-type Pokémon, because of Lapras' {{m|Psychic}} attack. '''Never''' underestimate it, even if it is {{ga|Red}}'s lowest-leveled Pokémon (at only level 80). {{m|Brine}} can catch your Pokémon off guard when your Pokémon's HP is less than half, and it's a Water-type move. Rock-type and Grass-type Pokémon are not good choices either. Don't expect landing a critical hit -- Lapras' ability {{a|Shell Armor}} prevents that.

===== Snorlax =====
[[Image:143.png|frame|right|Snorlax]]
Like {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Snorlax}} is only weak against attacks of a single type; in this case, the {{type2|Fighting}}. Despite being a {{type2|Normal}} and a Sleeping Pokémon, it also knows attacks that you may not expect — {{m|Shadow Ball}}, {{m|Crunch}} and {{m|Blizzard}}. Luckily, Snorlax has quite low {{stat|Special Attack}}, so Shadow Ball should not deal too much damage, but Crunch is quite powerful. This means that you can't expect to use a {{type2|Ghost}}'s immunity to help you take it down. If you get unlucky, Shadow Ball and Crunch will reduce your Sp. Def and Defense. Its {{m|Giga Impact}} move is an variation of {{m|Hyper Beam}}, but also forces it to rest for a turn and only has 5 PP. In addition, it is the third of {{ga|Red}}'s Pokémon that can call in the {{m|Blizzard|bone-chilling snowstorm}}, making it even more essential to defeat it as soon as possible (although Snorlax's doesn't hurt a lot). Moves like {{m|Close Combat}} and {{m|Superpower}} will be the most damaging. Because of its lower {{stat|Defense}}, it is a good idea to stick to Physical attacks. It has forgotten all moves that are related to sleeping, such as {{m|Rest}}, {{m|Snore}} and {{m|Sleep Talk}}, so don't worry about putting it asleep.

If you manage to defeat him, {{ga|Red}} pauses for a second, and disappears in the blink of an eye. Don't worry, he's not gone forever — defeat the {{ka|Elite Four}} and the {{pkmn|Champion}} again, and Red will reappear on the mountaintop, staring off into the swirling snow.

The game saves your progress, the credits roll for a second time and you will start off again at your home in [[New Bark Town]]... but you're still not done! Take some time to chill out at home before heading off again — since [[Professor Oak]] was the one who let you climb [[Mt. Silver|the mountain]], he'll want to hear how you defeated a former Champion like {{ga|Red}}. Cut across the [[Johto]] border, and {{m|fly}} back to [[Pallet Town]].

Walkthrough:Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver/Part 28

2012-05-30T09:26:12Z

Orderly Chaos: /* Venusaur */

<center> This is the Bulbapedia walkthrough for [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions]]. This walkthrough follows the remade [[Nintendo DS]] versions, not {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. The guide for those can be found [[Appendix:Gold and Silver walkthrough|here]].</center>

-----

== Route 22 ==
[[Image:Kanto Route22 Map.gif|frame|right|Route 22]]

{{rt|22|Kanto}} is a terraced path that follows the mountainous landscape. To the west, it connects to the Pokémon League Reception Gate, which is also accessible from [[New Bark Town]] by way of {{rt|26|Kanto}}. Continue west past the Gate, and you'll be on {{rt|28|Kanto}}, the way to [[Mt. Silver]].

[[Image:KantoJohto Route28 Map.gif|frame|right|Route 28]]

Because of the rocky, uneven terrain, you can't reach the north side of {{rt|28|Kanto}} yet. In order to do so, you'll need to reach the Poké Center near the mountain's entrance, and double-back to the east. {{m|Cut}} down the tree and visit the reclusive Idol inside the lone house — for being one of her "fans", she gives you {{TM|47|Steel Wing}}. Continue east along the grassy ledge to find {{TM|35|Flamethrower}} as well as a hidden {{DL|Vitamin|Rare Candy}}. Head back to the west to reach the foot of the imposing mountain.

{{m|Surf}} across the pond in the south to reach a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Reaper Cloth}}, which evolves a {{p|Dusclops}} into {{p|Dusknoir}} when traded. Stop by the Poké Center to rest your team, and assemble a hardy team of heavy-hitters — the battle that awaits you on the mountain's peak will be the toughest yet. Your team should wield a wide array of attack types, but don't forget to include {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Rock Smash}}, {{m|Waterfall}}, and {{m|Rock Climb}}, or you won't make it to the top. Double-check that your Pokémon are capable of taking on an opposing team with levels in the 80s, and step inside the hallowed mountain. If your Pokémon are not capable to do so, you can still train your Pokémon inside(just stay close to the entrance), or you can fight the Gym Leaders, Elite Four and Champion again until your Pokémon reaches Level 80.

[[Mt. Silver]] is a rough, forbidding mountain that looms on the border between the [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]] regions. It's so dangerous that travelers are only allowed inside if they have [[Professor Oak]]'s permission. The caves inside are enormous, making it that much more of a challenge to reach the mountaintop.

=== Main Chamber ===
First off, let's track down {{p|Moltres|the third of the legendary birds}}. From the mountain's entrance, {{m|surf}} west across the water and use the {{m|Waterfall}} move to continue north. Climb onto the bit of land to the northeast to reach an {{DL|In-battle effect item|Expert Belt}}, which strengthens super-effective moves by 20%. Surf to the northwest and {{m|Rock Climb|climb}} the rock wall. Check the lone rock for an {{DL|Poké Ball|Ultra Ball}}, and climb the next waterfall. Step inside the rear chamber to see {{p|Moltres}} roosting below.

=== Rear West Chamber ===
You won't catch it without a fight, so be ready for its {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Air Slash}} attacks. Start off with {{t|Water}}- or {{type2|Electric}} moves(don't try Rock-type moves -- Rock type is Moltres' major weakness and your Pokémon are probably at a higher level than it) to take a bite out of its HP, then follow up with {{t|Fire}}- or {{type2|Fighting}} attacks to gradually weaken it. Like the other [[legendary birds]], if you end up defeating it, you can encounter it again in the same location by defeating the {{ka|Elite Four}} and {{pkmn|Champion}}.

Depending on how rough that battle was, you may need to leave to rest your team. The mountaintop is still a long way off, so don't plow ahead if your team is in trouble. Don't think of it as a retreat, think of it as a "tactical withdrawal". If you have an extra [[Escape Rope]], you may want to use it now. Come back after healing in the Pokémon Center, head north from the entrance, {{m|Rock Climb|climb the wall}}, and step out onto the mountainside.

=== Mountainside ===
Walk to the south and grab the [[Escape Rope]], then follow the trail up the side of the mountain. When you reach the highest level, turn south to find {{TM|76|Stealth Rock}} before heading north. Step inside the first cave entrance you see for a {{DL|Potion|Full Restore}}, and continue along the narrow mountainside path to reach the next cave entrance.

=== Main Chamber ===
Walk west along the narrow cliff, then turn to the north. Check the lone rock to the northeast for a hidden [[Revive]], then climb the large stairway to the next chamber.

=== Interior 1 ===
The large crater in this chamber will force you to walk in circles to reach the upper levels. Hunt down the {{DL|Ether|Max Elixir}}, [[Revive|Max Revive]], and {{DL|Vitamin|Calcium}}, and step through the exit on the highest northern cliff to reach the mountain's snow-covered midsection.

=== Snowy Exterior ===
Before you take a step, turn to the left and check the rock for a {{DL|Ether|Max Ether}}. Step inside the first cave opening you see to reach the crater chamber, pick up the {{DL|Vitamin|Protein}} and a hidden {{DL|Vitamin|Iron}}, then walk back out into the snow. Head south to the next opening.

Follow the cliff to the south, and another exit.

Head south, then west around the side of the mountain. Don't enter the next cave yet, but {{m|Rock Climb|scale}} the cliffside to reach a {{DL|Incense|Pure Incense}} and a hidden {{DL|Vitamin|Rare Candy}} on the highest cliff. Climb back down the mountainside and step into the cave again.

Walk to the west, and take the next exit back into the snow.

Scale the first cliff, and now you've got a few choices. You can climb up the eastern side to find a hidden {{DL|Potion|Hyper Potion}}, and you can grab a {{evostone|Dawn Stone}} from the western side. Climb back up the central part of the cliff to step inside the next part of the mountain.

=== Interior 2 ===
All you can do here is to follow the trail to the west, and use {{m|Rock Climb}} yet again to scale a huge cliff. Don't miss the [[Revive|Max Revive]] hidden on the rock to the east — with the intense impending battle ahead of you, it couldn't hurt to have an extra Revive. Take the time now to use any health or status items you need. Step out through the exit onto the mountain's snow-covered peak, and get ready for your toughest battle yet!

=== Mountain Peak ===
Walk along the narrow, snowy trail, and you'll come face-to-face with the last great challenge of the game—the former Pokémon League Champion, Pokémon Trainer {{ga|Red}}. He commands the highest-leveled team in the game, ranging from level 80 to level 88 (even stronger than he was in {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, where his highest level was 81, so having your Pokémon at only Level 75 means that you will probably not be able to win, and if your Pokémon are at Level 70 or below, your Pokémon are probably doomed). In order to take on his team, your Pokémon will need access to a powerful array of offensive moves in order to counter all of his team's types. Even with a type advantage, your team members will need to be '''at level 80 at the very least''' in order to stand a chance(having your Pokémon at Level 85 is recommended). Don't hesitate to switch out your Pokémon in order to have a type advantage against {{ga|Red}}'s current Pokémon; after all, Red will be targeting your weaknesses, and he might also switch out his Pokémon instead of healing with Full Restores whenever his Pokémon are in danger. Heal as often as you need to, and use extreme caution if any of your Pokémon are vulnerable to {{type2|Ice}} moves — three of his Pokémon know {{m|Blizzard}}, which has perfect accuracy due to the swirling hailstorm. With the right team, right moves and a huge stock of healing items, you should be able to defeat this legendary Trainer and finally become the ultimate Pokémon master!

==== Pokémon Trainer Red ====
Because you are battling atop a snowy mountain peak, the {{DL|Weather conditions|Hailstorm|snow and ice swirling around you}} will influence the battle from the beginning. {{type2|Ice}}s are immune to the hailstorm, but all other types will take damage.

===== Pikachu =====
[[Image:025.png|frame|right|Pikachu]]
{{ga|Red}} starts off with his {{p|Pikachu}}, at a staggering '''level 88''', it's the HIGHEST-leveled Pokémon owned by an opposing Trainer ever. Because of its {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Light Ball}}, its {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} are doubled, making it that much more of a threat. Its {{m|Volt Tackle}}(an Electric-type {{m|Double-Edge}}) will deal a LOT of damage, so you need to get rid of this electric mouse if you want any hope of defeating Red. One bright side to its signature attack is that it takes 33% of the damage it dishes out in recoil damage. {{type2|Electric}}s only fear one thing — {{type2|Ground}} attacks, so let loose an {{m|Earthquake}} for a super-effective hit. Pikachu's {{stat|Defense}} is terrible, so 1 or 2 good physical hits should also do the job( just be careful that you don't use a move that make contact, or Pikachu may paralyze your Pokémon with its ability, {{a|Static}}). Since Pikachu has {{m|Iron Tail}}, it can deal heavy damage to opposing Pokémon that are partly {{type2|Rock}}, so it is not a bad idea to send a pure {{type2|Ground}} that can take a hit and hit Pikachu super-effectively with a good Physical-based move that doesn't make contact, like {{m|Earthquake}}. Pikachu also has {{m|Thunderbolt}} to deal a lot of damage and {{m|Quick Attack}} to attack first, but a sturdy Ground-type will stop it in its tracks.

===== Venusaur =====
[[Image:003.png|frame|right|Venusaur]]
The {{t|Grass}}/{{type2|Poison}} {{p|Venusaur}} is vulnerable to offensive {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Ice}}-, {{t|Flying}}-, and {{type2|Psychic}} moves, having the most weaknesses on {{ga|Red}}'s team (tied with {{p|Lapras}}). One of Red's favorite combos is to have Venusaur use {{m|Sleep Powder}} followed by {{m|Giga Drain}}; as a non-{{type2|Ice}}, this lets it interfere with your offense as well as restoring its ever-depleting HP due to the hailstorm. Be on the lookout for its {{m|Frenzy Plant}} attack (a Grass-type {{m|Hyper Beam}} that does a lot of damage, but forces the user to recharge after firing and only has 5 PP), and fire off a {{m|Flamethrower}}, {{m|Brave Bird}}, {{m|Psychic}} or other strong attacks that are {{type2|Fire}}, {{type2|Flying}}, {{type2|Ice}} or {{type2|Psychic}}-type. You can also take advantage of the weather by using your own super-accurate {{m|Blizzard}}. Be careful when Venusaur is low on health -- its {{a|Overgrow}} ability will kick in and boosts the power of its Grass-type moves (in this case, Giga Drain and Frenzy Plant). Frenzy Plant can knock your Pokémon out in a single hit if Overgrow kicked in, so you might want to hit it with a weaker attack to make sure Overgrow won't activate, then hammer it with your strongest super-effective move.

===== Charizard =====
[[Image:006.png|frame|right|Charizard]]
As a {{t|Fire}}/{{type2|Flying}}, {{p|Charizard}} fears only {{t|Water}}-, {{t|Electric}}-, and {{type2|Rock}} attacks, especially Rock-type moves, because they're aiming at Charizard's major weakness. Remember, Charizard is all out offensive and hits hard. Look out for its {{m|Flare Blitz}} (a Fire-type Double-Edge, dealing serious recoil damage) and {{m|Blast Burn}} (a Fire-type Hyper Beam, forcing it recharge after firing and only has 5 PP), as those are sure to cause some serious damage. Look out for its powerful {{m|Dragon Pulse}} and {{m|Air Slash}}, as well. Retaliate with moves like {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Waterfall}}, {{m|Thunderbolt}}, {{m|Stone Edge}} or {{m|Rock Slide}} (courtesy of [[Brock]]'s TM80) to inflict the most damage. An alternative strategy could be to set up {{m|Stealth Rock}} against {{p|Pikachu}}, so that Charizard loses 50% of its health on switching in. Be careful when Charizard is low on health -- its {{a|Blaze}} ability will kick in and boosts the power of its Fire-type moves (in this case, Flare Blitz and Blast Burn). With Charizard's high Sp. Atk, and ability Blaze, Blast Burn will be unbearable. Even Flare Blitz can knock out your Pokémon in one shot if Blaze kicks in.

===== Blastoise =====
[[Image:009.png|frame|right|Blastoise]]
{{p|Blastoise}} is a pure {{type2|Water}}, so {{t|Grass}}- and {{type2|Electric}} attacks will see the most success — just don't send a Grass-type Pokémon to do the job, because Blastoise's super-accurate {{m|Blizzard}} will make short work of it (although the Blizzard from Blastoise hurt less than Lapras'). Its {{m|Focus Blast}} attack also ensures that you won't use your own {{a|Thick Fat|flabby}} {{p|Snorlax}} to oppose it (although you are unlikely to do so). Its {{m|Flash Cannon}} counters nothing that you will send in to fight against it, so don't worry about this move unless it hurts a lot. It's {{m|Hydro Cannon}} will be its most threatening move, but similar to {{m|Blast Burn}} and {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, this move is a Water-type Hyper Beam, making Blastoise recharge after firing. Moreover, this move is its only Water-type move and only has 5 PP. Like Charizard and Venusaur, Blastoise has the {{a|Torrent}} ability, which also kicks in when it is low on health and boosts the power of its Water-type moves (in this case, only Hydro Cannon), making Hydro Cannon able to knock your Pokémon out in 1 hit.

===== Lapras =====
[[Image:131.png|frame|right|Lapras]]
When facing his {{p|Lapras}}, be careful of its {{m|Blizzard}} move, which now has perfect accuracy and [[Same-type attack bonus|same-type attack bonus]]. The Blizzard coming from Lapras will hurt the most and deal a TON of damage. Getting rid of the hailstorm or changing the weather may help. If not, when it pulls off a Blizzard, there is a chance that you will be unable to attack for 5 turns due to [[Freeze (status ailment)|freezing]] (you probably have to heal or revive your Pokémon until Lapras uses up the PP of Blizzard). {{type2|Electric}} attacks are probably your best bet. If you choose to attack with {{type2|Fighting}} moves, avoid using a Fighting-type Pokémon, because of Lapras' {{m|Psychic}} attack. '''Never''' underestimate it, even if it is {{ga|Red}}'s lowest-leveled Pokémon (at only level 80). {{m|Brine}} can catch your Pokémon off guard when your Pokémon's HP is less than half, and it's a Water-type move. Rock-type and Grass-type Pokémon are not good choices either. Don't expect landing a critical hit -- Lapras' ability {{a|Shell Armor}} prevents that.

===== Snorlax =====
[[Image:143.png|frame|right|Snorlax]]
Like {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Snorlax}} is only weak against attacks of a single type; in this case, the {{type2|Fighting}}. Despite being a {{type2|Normal}} and a Sleeping Pokémon, it also knows attacks that you may not expect — {{m|Shadow Ball}}, {{m|Crunch}} and {{m|Blizzard}}. Luckily, Snorlax has quite low {{stat|Special Attack}}, so Shadow Ball should not deal too much damage, but Crunch is quite powerful. This means that you can't expect to use a {{type2|Ghost}}'s immunity to help you take it down. If you get unlucky, Shadow Ball and Crunch will reduce your Sp. Def and Defense. Its {{m|Giga Impact}} move is an variation of {{m|Hyper Beam}}, but also forces it to rest for a turn and only has 5 PP. In addition, it is the third of {{ga|Red}}'s Pokémon that can call in the {{m|Blizzard|bone-chilling snowstorm}}, making it even more essential to defeat it as soon as possible (although Snorlax's doesn't hurt a lot). Moves like {{m|Close Combat}} and {{m|Superpower}} will be the most damaging. Because of its lower {{stat|Defense}}, it is a good idea to stick to Physical attacks. It has forgotten all moves that are related to sleeping, such as {{m|Rest}}, {{m|Snore}} and {{m|Sleep Talk}}, so don't worry about putting it asleep.

If you manage to defeat him, {{ga|Red}} pauses for a second, and disappears in the blink of an eye. Don't worry, he's not gone forever — defeat the {{ka|Elite Four}} and the {{pkmn|Champion}} again, and Red will reappear on the mountaintop, staring off into the swirling snow.

The game saves your progress, the credits roll for a second time and you will start off again at your home in [[New Bark Town]]... but you're still not done! Take some time to chill out at home before heading off again — since [[Professor Oak]] was the one who let you climb [[Mt. Silver|the mountain]], he'll want to hear how you defeated a former Champion like {{ga|Red}}. Cut across the [[Johto]] border, and {{m|fly}} back to [[Pallet Town]].

Walkthrough:Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver/Part 28

2012-05-30T09:21:37Z

Orderly Chaos: /* Pikachu */

<center> This is the Bulbapedia walkthrough for [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions]]. This walkthrough follows the remade [[Nintendo DS]] versions, not {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. The guide for those can be found [[Appendix:Gold and Silver walkthrough|here]].</center>

-----

== Route 22 ==
[[Image:Kanto Route22 Map.gif|frame|right|Route 22]]

{{rt|22|Kanto}} is a terraced path that follows the mountainous landscape. To the west, it connects to the Pokémon League Reception Gate, which is also accessible from [[New Bark Town]] by way of {{rt|26|Kanto}}. Continue west past the Gate, and you'll be on {{rt|28|Kanto}}, the way to [[Mt. Silver]].

== Route 28 ==
[[Image:KantoJohto Route28 Map.gif|frame|right|Route 28]]

Because of the rocky, uneven terrain, you can't reach the north side of {{rt|28|Kanto}} yet. In order to do so, you'll need to reach the Poké Center near the mountain's entrance, and double-back to the east. {{m|Cut}} down the tree and visit the reclusive Idol inside the lone house — for being one of her "fans", she gives you {{TM|47|Steel Wing}}. Continue east along the grassy ledge to find {{TM|35|Flamethrower}} as well as a hidden {{DL|Vitamin|Rare Candy}}. Head back to the west to reach the foot of the imposing mountain.

== The Foot of Mt Silver ==

{{m|Surf}} across the pond in the south to reach a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Reaper Cloth}}, which evolves a {{p|Dusclops}} into {{p|Dusknoir}} when traded. Stop by the Poké Center to rest your team, and assemble a hardy team of heavy-hitters — the battle that awaits you on the mountain's peak will be the toughest yet. Your team should wield a wide array of attack types, but don't forget to include {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Rock Smash}}, {{m|Waterfall}}, and {{m|Rock Climb}}, or you won't make it to the top. Double-check that your Pokémon are capable of taking on an opposing team with levels in the 80s, and step inside the hallowed mountain. If your Pokémon are not capable to do so, you can still train your Pokémon inside(just stay close to the entrance), or you can fight the Gym Leaders, Elite Four and Champion again until your Pokémon reaches Level 80.

[[Mt. Silver]] is a rough, forbidding mountain that looms on the border between the [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]] regions. It's so dangerous that travelers are only allowed inside if they have [[Professor Oak]]'s permission. The caves inside are enormous, making it that much more of a challenge to reach the mountaintop.

=== Main Chamber ===
First off, let's track down {{p|Moltres|the third of the legendary birds}}. From the mountain's entrance, {{m|surf}} west across the water and use the {{m|Waterfall}} move to continue north. Climb onto the bit of land to the northeast to reach an {{DL|In-battle effect item|Expert Belt}}, which strengthens super-effective moves by 20%. Surf to the northwest and {{m|Rock Climb|climb}} the rock wall. Check the lone rock for an {{DL|Poké Ball|Ultra Ball}}, and climb the next waterfall. Step inside the rear chamber to see {{p|Moltres}} roosting below.

=== Rear West Chamber ===
You won't catch it without a fight, so be ready for its {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Air Slash}} attacks. Start off with {{t|Water}}- or {{type2|Electric}} moves(don't try Rock-type moves -- Rock type is Moltres' major weakness and your Pokémon are probably at a higher level than it) to take a bite out of its HP, then follow up with {{t|Fire}}- or {{type2|Fighting}} attacks to gradually weaken it. Like the other [[legendary birds]], if you end up defeating it, you can encounter it again in the same location by defeating the {{ka|Elite Four}} and {{pkmn|Champion}}.

Depending on how rough that battle was, you may need to leave to rest your team. The mountaintop is still a long way off, so don't plow ahead if your team is in trouble. Don't think of it as a retreat, think of it as a "tactical withdrawal". If you have an extra [[Escape Rope]], you may want to use it now. Come back after healing in the Pokémon Center, head north from the entrance, {{m|Rock Climb|climb the wall}}, and step out onto the mountainside.

=== Mountainside ===
Walk to the south and grab the [[Escape Rope]], then follow the trail up the side of the mountain. When you reach the highest level, turn south to find {{TM|76|Stealth Rock}} before heading north. Step inside the first cave entrance you see for a {{DL|Potion|Full Restore}}, and continue along the narrow mountainside path to reach the next cave entrance.

=== Main Chamber ===
Walk west along the narrow cliff, then turn to the north. Check the lone rock to the northeast for a hidden [[Revive]], then climb the large stairway to the next chamber.

=== Interior 1 ===
The large crater in this chamber will force you to walk in circles to reach the upper levels. Hunt down the {{DL|Ether|Max Elixir}}, [[Revive|Max Revive]], and {{DL|Vitamin|Calcium}}, and step through the exit on the highest northern cliff to reach the mountain's snow-covered midsection.

=== Snowy Exterior ===
Before you take a step, turn to the left and check the rock for a {{DL|Ether|Max Ether}}. Step inside the first cave opening you see to reach the crater chamber, pick up the {{DL|Vitamin|Protein}} and a hidden {{DL|Vitamin|Iron}}, then walk back out into the snow. Head south to the next opening.

Follow the cliff to the south, and another exit.

Head south, then west around the side of the mountain. Don't enter the next cave yet, but {{m|Rock Climb|scale}} the cliffside to reach a {{DL|Incense|Pure Incense}} and a hidden {{DL|Vitamin|Rare Candy}} on the highest cliff. Climb back down the mountainside and step into the cave again.

Walk to the west, and take the next exit back into the snow.

Scale the first cliff, and now you've got a few choices. You can climb up the eastern side to find a hidden {{DL|Potion|Hyper Potion}}, and you can grab a {{evostone|Dawn Stone}} from the western side. Climb back up the central part of the cliff to step inside the next part of the mountain.

=== Interior 2 ===
All you can do here is to follow the trail to the west, and use {{m|Rock Climb}} yet again to scale a huge cliff. Don't miss the [[Revive|Max Revive]] hidden on the rock to the east — with the intense impending battle ahead of you, it couldn't hurt to have an extra Revive. Take the time now to use any health or status items you need. Step out through the exit onto the mountain's snow-covered peak, and get ready for your toughest battle yet!

=== Mountain Peak ===
Walk along the narrow, snowy trail, and you'll come face-to-face with the last great challenge of the game—the former Pokémon League Champion, Pokémon Trainer {{ga|Red}}. He commands the highest-leveled team in the game, ranging from level 80 to level 88 (even stronger than he was in {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, where his highest level was 81, so having your Pokémon at only Level 75 means that you will probably not be able to win, and if your Pokémon are at Level 70 or below, your Pokémon are probably doomed). In order to take on his team, your Pokémon will need access to a powerful array of offensive moves in order to counter all of his team's types. Even with a type advantage, your team members will need to be '''at level 80 at the very least''' in order to stand a chance(having your Pokémon at Level 85 is recommended). Don't hesitate to switch out your Pokémon in order to have a type advantage against {{ga|Red}}'s current Pokémon; after all, Red will be targeting your weaknesses, and he might also switch out his Pokémon instead of healing with Full Restores whenever his Pokémon are in danger. Heal as often as you need to, and use extreme caution if any of your Pokémon are vulnerable to {{type2|Ice}} moves — three of his Pokémon know {{m|Blizzard}}, which has perfect accuracy due to the swirling hailstorm. With the right team, right moves and a huge stock of healing items, you should be able to defeat this legendary Trainer and finally become the ultimate Pokémon master!

==== Pokémon Trainer Red ====
Because you are battling atop a snowy mountain peak, the {{DL|Weather conditions|Hailstorm|snow and ice swirling around you}} will influence the battle from the beginning. {{type2|Ice}}s are immune to the hailstorm, but all other types will take damage.

===== Pikachu =====
[[Image:025.png|frame|right|Pikachu]]
{{ga|Red}} starts off with his {{p|Pikachu}}, at a staggering '''level 88''', it's the HIGHEST-leveled Pokémon owned by an opposing Trainer ever. Because of its {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Light Ball}}, its {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} are doubled, making it that much more of a threat. Its {{m|Volt Tackle}}(an Electric-type {{m|Double-Edge}}) will deal a LOT of damage, so you need to get rid of this electric mouse if you want any hope of defeating Red. One bright side to its signature attack is that it takes 33% of the damage it dishes out in recoil damage. {{type2|Electric}}s only fear one thing — {{type2|Ground}} attacks, so let loose an {{m|Earthquake}} for a super-effective hit. Pikachu's {{stat|Defense}} is terrible, so 1 or 2 good physical hits should also do the job( just be careful that you don't use a move that make contact, or Pikachu may paralyze your Pokémon with its ability, {{a|Static}}). Since Pikachu has {{m|Iron Tail}}, it can deal heavy damage to opposing Pokémon that are partly {{type2|Rock}}, so it is not a bad idea to send a pure {{type2|Ground}} that can take a hit and hit Pikachu super-effectively with a good Physical-based move that doesn't make contact, like {{m|Earthquake}}. Pikachu also has {{m|Thunderbolt}} to deal a lot of damage and {{m|Quick Attack}} to attack first, but a sturdy Ground-type will stop it in its tracks.

===== Venusaur =====
[[Image:003.png|frame|right|Venusaur]]
The {{t|Grass}}/{{type2|Poison}} {{p|Venusaur}} is vulnerable to offensive {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Ice}}-, {{t|Flying}}-, and {{type2|Psychic}} moves, having the most weaknesses on {{ga|Red}}'s team (along with {{p|Lapras}}). One of Red's favorite combos is to use Venusaur's {{m|Sleep Powder}} followed by {{m|Giga Drain}}; as a non-{{type2|Ice}}, this lets it interfere with your offense as well as restoring its ever-depleting HP due to the hailstorm. Be on the lookout for its {{m|Frenzy Plant}} attack (a Grass-type {{m|Hyper Beam}}, forcing it recharge after firing and only has 5 PP), and fire off a {{m|Flamethrower}}, {{m|Brave Bird}}, {{m|Psychic}} or other strong attacks that are {{type2|Fire}}, {{type2|Flying}}, {{type2|Ice}} or {{type2|Psychic}}. You can also take advantage of the weather by using your own super-accurate {{m|Blizzard}}. Be careful when Venusaur is low on health -- its {{a|Overgrow}} ability will kick in and boosts the power of its Grass-type moves (in this case, Giga Drain and Frenzy Plant). Frenzy Plant can knock your Pokémon out in a single hit if Overgrow kicked in.

===== Charizard =====
[[Image:006.png|frame|right|Charizard]]
As a {{t|Fire}}/{{type2|Flying}}, {{p|Charizard}} fears only {{t|Water}}-, {{t|Electric}}-, and {{type2|Rock}} attacks, especially Rock-type moves, because they're aiming at Charizard's major weakness. Remember, Charizard is all out offensive and hits hard. Look out for its {{m|Flare Blitz}} (a Fire-type Double-Edge, dealing serious recoil damage) and {{m|Blast Burn}} (a Fire-type Hyper Beam, forcing it recharge after firing and only has 5 PP), as those are sure to cause some serious damage. Look out for its powerful {{m|Dragon Pulse}} and {{m|Air Slash}}, as well. Retaliate with moves like {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Waterfall}}, {{m|Thunderbolt}}, {{m|Stone Edge}} or {{m|Rock Slide}} (courtesy of [[Brock]]'s TM80) to inflict the most damage. An alternative strategy could be to set up {{m|Stealth Rock}} against {{p|Pikachu}}, so that Charizard loses 50% of its health on switching in. Be careful when Charizard is low on health -- its {{a|Blaze}} ability will kick in and boosts the power of its Fire-type moves (in this case, Flare Blitz and Blast Burn). With Charizard's high Sp. Atk, and ability Blaze, Blast Burn will be unbearable. Even Flare Blitz can knock out your Pokémon in one shot if Blaze kicks in.

===== Blastoise =====
[[Image:009.png|frame|right|Blastoise]]
{{p|Blastoise}} is a pure {{type2|Water}}, so {{t|Grass}}- and {{type2|Electric}} attacks will see the most success — just don't send a Grass-type Pokémon to do the job, because Blastoise's super-accurate {{m|Blizzard}} will make short work of it (although the Blizzard from Blastoise hurt less than Lapras'). Its {{m|Focus Blast}} attack also ensures that you won't use your own {{a|Thick Fat|flabby}} {{p|Snorlax}} to oppose it (although you are unlikely to do so). Its {{m|Flash Cannon}} counters nothing that you will send in to fight against it, so don't worry about this move unless it hurts a lot. It's {{m|Hydro Cannon}} will be its most threatening move, but similar to {{m|Blast Burn}} and {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, this move is a Water-type Hyper Beam, making Blastoise recharge after firing. Moreover, this move is its only Water-type move and only has 5 PP. Like Charizard and Venusaur, Blastoise has the {{a|Torrent}} ability, which also kicks in when it is low on health and boosts the power of its Water-type moves (in this case, only Hydro Cannon), making Hydro Cannon able to knock your Pokémon out in 1 hit.

===== Lapras =====
[[Image:131.png|frame|right|Lapras]]
When facing his {{p|Lapras}}, be careful of its {{m|Blizzard}} move, which now has perfect accuracy and [[Same-type attack bonus|same-type attack bonus]]. The Blizzard coming from Lapras will hurt the most and deal a TON of damage. Getting rid of the hailstorm or changing the weather may help. If not, when it pulls off a Blizzard, there is a chance that you will be unable to attack for 5 turns due to [[Freeze (status ailment)|freezing]] (you probably have to heal or revive your Pokémon until Lapras uses up the PP of Blizzard). {{type2|Electric}} attacks are probably your best bet. If you choose to attack with {{type2|Fighting}} moves, avoid using a Fighting-type Pokémon, because of Lapras' {{m|Psychic}} attack. '''Never''' underestimate it, even if it is {{ga|Red}}'s lowest-leveled Pokémon (at only level 80). {{m|Brine}} can catch your Pokémon off guard when your Pokémon's HP is less than half, and it's a Water-type move. Rock-type and Grass-type Pokémon are not good choices either. Don't expect landing a critical hit -- Lapras' ability {{a|Shell Armor}} prevents that.

===== Snorlax =====
[[Image:143.png|frame|right|Snorlax]]
Like {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Snorlax}} is only weak against attacks of a single type; in this case, the {{type2|Fighting}}. Despite being a {{type2|Normal}} and a Sleeping Pokémon, it also knows attacks that you may not expect — {{m|Shadow Ball}}, {{m|Crunch}} and {{m|Blizzard}}. Luckily, Snorlax has quite low {{stat|Special Attack}}, so Shadow Ball should not deal too much damage, but Crunch is quite powerful. This means that you can't expect to use a {{type2|Ghost}}'s immunity to help you take it down. If you get unlucky, Shadow Ball and Crunch will reduce your Sp. Def and Defense. Its {{m|Giga Impact}} move is an variation of {{m|Hyper Beam}}, but also forces it to rest for a turn and only has 5 PP. In addition, it is the third of {{ga|Red}}'s Pokémon that can call in the {{m|Blizzard|bone-chilling snowstorm}}, making it even more essential to defeat it as soon as possible (although Snorlax's doesn't hurt a lot). Moves like {{m|Close Combat}} and {{m|Superpower}} will be the most damaging. Because of its lower {{stat|Defense}}, it is a good idea to stick to Physical attacks. It has forgotten all moves that are related to sleeping, such as {{m|Rest}}, {{m|Snore}} and {{m|Sleep Talk}}, so don't worry about putting it asleep.

If you manage to defeat him, {{ga|Red}} pauses for a second, and disappears in the blink of an eye. Don't worry, he's not gone forever — defeat the {{ka|Elite Four}} and the {{pkmn|Champion}} again, and Red will reappear on the mountaintop, staring off into the swirling snow.

The game saves your progress, the credits roll for a second time and you will start off again at your home in [[New Bark Town]]... but you're still not done! Take some time to chill out at home before heading off again — since [[Professor Oak]] was the one who let you climb [[Mt. Silver|the mountain]], he'll want to hear how you defeated a former Champion like {{ga|Red}}. Cut across the [[Johto]] border, and {{m|fly}} back to [[Pallet Town]].

Walkthrough:Pokémon Black and White/Part 7

2012-05-30T09:17:53Z

Orderly Chaos: /* Mistralton Gym */

== Route 6 ==
[[File:Unova Route 6.png|frame|right|Route 6]]

{{rt|6|Unova}}, connecting [[Driftveil City]] and [[Chargestone Cave]], is a winding road surrounded by lush vegetation and a flowing river. The Season Research Lab stands at the center, where scientists are conducting research on Pokémon that change with the seasons. A girl in the house across the river will offer to heal your Pokémon before you enter the nearby cave.

=== Season Research Lab ===
The scientists at the Season Research Lab are are interested in studying {{p|Deerling}} because it can alter its appearance based on the season. One of the researchers will ask for your help. If you show him a Deerling in all four of its forms, he will give you a {{evostone|Leaf Stone}} as thanks.

=== Chargestone Cave ===
[[File:Chargestone Cave.png|thumb|right|Chargestone Cave]]

As you approach [[Chargestone Cave]], you find a large {{p|Galvantula}} web blocking the entrance. [[Clay]] shows up with his {{p|Krokorok}} and removes it for you, then hands you {{TM|78|Bulldoze}} as a reward for defeating him at the Gym.

==== 1F ====
Almost as soon as you enter, two members of the [[Shadow Triad]] appear and escort you to [[N]]. He warns you that [[Team Plasma]] is waiting ahead to test you, then leaves.

Head north to meet up with [[Bianca]] and [[Professor Juniper]]. The professor is here to research {{p|Klink}}, and Bianca is acting as her bodyguard. Juniper gives you the {{DL|Experience-affecting item|Lucky Egg}}, which boosts a Pokémon's experience.

Walk around Bianca and shove the floating stone to the left; it flies over to a larger stone on the ground, clearing a path. Go north and push the next rock to the right, and pick up the {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Parlyz Heal}}. Fight {{tc|Scientist}} Ronald, grab the [[Revive]] behind the two floating stones, and continue north to reach a {{DL|Poké Ball|Heal Ball}} on a ledge. Shove the next two floating stones to the west, then south. Bianca and the professor catch up and talk more about {{p|Klink}}. You can't go very far north with another floating stone in the way, so go south to the bridge. The [[Shadow Triad]] appears again, telling you that [[Team Plasma]] is waiting downstairs. Pick up the {{DL|Potion|Hyper Potion}} to the north and shove the floating stone to the south. Fight {{tc|Scientist}} Naoko, loop around to the west, and push the southern stone west to get an {{DL|Vitamin|Iron}}.

==== B1F ====
Head to the west and talk to the two brothers to get a {{DL|Valuable item|Nugget}} from each of them. Continue west to find a {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Parlyz Heal}} hidden in the alcove, and take the stairs back to the first floor to grab a hidden {{DL|Vitamin|HP Up}}. Go north past the Nugget Brothers to find a {{DL|Poké Ball|Timer Ball}}. Defeat {{tc|Doctor}} Wayne to the east to rest your Pokémon, and track down a {{DL|Revive|Revive}} hidden on the wall west of him. Fight your way north past the five [[Team Plasma|Plasma]] grunts. Go west and push another two floating stones to reach a {{evostone|Thunderstone}} and the stairs to the bottom floor.

==== B2F ====
Push the floating stone to the right and continue south. Climb down the stairway near {{tc|Ace Trainer}} Stella to find a {{DL|Potion|Hyper Potion}}, and a {{DL|Valuable item|Star Piece}} hidden on the wall nearby. Follow the narrow path around to find a {{DL|Vitamin|Rare Candy}}, then backtrack to the center of the floor. Hunt down a {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Parlyz Heal}} hidden near the east wall, and get the {{DL|In-battle effect item|BrightPowder}} from the northeast chamber. Climb back upstairs to B1F.

==== B1F ====
Fight one last [[Team Plasma|Plasma]] grunt and climb the eastern stairs.

==== 1F ====
Go west past {{tc|Scientist}} Orville and push the floating stone, then check the wall nearby for a hidden {{DL|Potion|Max Potion}}. Head southeast to fight {{tc|Ace Trainer}} Corky, then pick up the {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Magnet}} south of him.

Go east through the last tunnel, and you'll find [[N]] waiting for you. He says that he wants to find out what kind of dream you have, and he'll do it by battling you.

[[Bianca]] and [[Professor Juniper]] catch up to you after the battle. [[N]] expresses his hostility toward Juniper for being a Pokémon researcher, then leaves. The other two head back into the cave to collect more data. Take the exit to reach [[Mistralton City]].

== Mistralton City ==
[[File:Mistralton City B.png|thumb|300px|right|Mistralton City{{sup|Bl}}]]

Most of [[Mistralton City]] is occupied by a giant runway for cargo planes. The vegetables harvested from the greenhouses{{sup|Bl}} / fields{{sup|Wh}} are exported to other regions aboard these planes. The city is also home to the Move Family, and the Mistralton Gym.

=== The Move Family ===
The Move Family lives in the house to the east of the Pokémon Center. The old man is the [[Move deleter]], who can make a Pokémon forget any move, even moves taught by an HM. The [[Move relearner|reminder girl]], on the other hand, can make a Pokémon remember any forgotten move in exchange for a {{DL|Valuable item|Heart Scale}}.

=== Meet the other Juniper ===
A man approaches you when you head north past the Pokémon Center. He introduces himself as [[Cedric Juniper]], [[Professor Juniper]]'s father. To commemorate your first meeting, he upgrades your [[Pokédex]] with new search features, and a function that lets you now view a Pokémon's different forms, and even its [[Shiny Pokémon|Shiny]] form!

He introduces you to [[Skyla]], the Mistralton Gym Leader. She's off to check on a sick Pokémon atop the [[Celestial Tower]]. You won't be able to challenge the Gym until you meet her at the tower, so follow her north to {{rt|7|Unova}}.

{{clear}}

== Route 7 ==
[[File:Unova Route 7.png|thumb|right|Route 7]]

{{rt|7|Unova}} is overgrown with patches of tall grass. A series of elevated walkways offer a safer alternative, but you will fall if you miss a step or stop for too long. In a house to the west is a {{tc|Hiker}} who is looking to trade for a {{p|Boldore}}; if you've got one to spare, he offers his {{p|Emolga}} for it.

Make your way north to reach the [[Celestial Tower]].

When you reach the rooftop, [[Skyla]] has already helped the weakened Pokémon. Since you've come so far, she asks you to ring the bell. The character of the person ringing the bell is supposed to be reflected in its sound. After listening to the tone, Skyla says you are a kind and strong person, and invites you back to {{ci|Mistralton}} for a Gym battle.

== Mistralton Gym ==
[[File:Mistralton Gym.png|thumb|right|Mistralton Gym]]
{{sign|bwbuilding|Mistralton City Pokémon Gym Leader: Skyla|The Highflying Girl}}

The [[Mistralton Gym]] is set up inside an aircraft hangar, and specializes in the {{type2|Flying}}. The Gym features a series of cannons that challengers must use to reach the Gym Leader. All Pokémon here are vulnerable to {{t|Electric}}-, {{t|Ice}}-, and {{type2|Rock}} attacks; if you don't have any of these moves, you may want to use TMs to teach moves like {{m|Volt Switch}} or {{m|Rock Tomb}}.

Climb inside the first cannon, then go left to reach the second. Walk down the staircase and jump in the second cannon again to get shot to the east, landing near {{tc|Worker}} Cliff. Climb up the staircase and go south to fight {{tc|Worker}} Brady. Jump inside the third cannon to land on the west side, and battle {{tc|Pilot}} Ted. Climb in the fourth cannon from the south, and you'll land just short of [[Skyla]]'s platform. The fifth cannon will launch you to the east, then backtrack and battle {{tc|Pilot}} Chase, and fly to the west. Walk up the staircase to fight {{tc|Worker}} Arnold, then use the next four cannons to fly south, east, north, then west onto Skyla's platform.

This battle will go quickly if you've got a strong {{t|Electric}}-type. If not, {{t|Rock}}-types will also do the trick, although you have to watch out for [[Swanna]]'s {{t|Water}}-type attacks. 
Upon her defeat, [[Skyla]] awards you the {{badge|Jet}}, which makes all Pokémon up to level 70 obey you. She also hands over {{TM|62|Acrobatics}}.

Outside the Gym, [[N]] is waiting for you. He tells you that [[Ghetsis]] is searching for the {{DL|List of key items in Generation V|Light Stone}} and the {{DL|List of key items in Generation V|Dark Stone}}, each said to hold the essence of a legendary Pokémon. Before he leaves, he announces that he will resurrect and befriend one of the legendary dragons, so the world will recognize him as the hero of legend.

Leave [[Mistralton City]] and head northeast through {{rt|7|Unova}} to reach [[Twist Mountain]].

Walkthrough:Pokémon Black and White/Part 12

2012-05-30T07:21:00Z

Orderly Chaos: /* Throne Room */

== The Elite Four ==
[[File:Unova Pokémon League.png|thumb|right|Outside the central plaza]]

The {{un|Pokémon League}} is where the Elite Four await the challenge of aspiring Trainers. The four are the most talented Trainers of their respective types, and should not be taken lightly.

Stop by the Pokémon Center in the structure to the west. When preparing a team, it is recommended to bring Pokémon with levels in the mid-50s, if not higher. The player should have their Pokémon well-rested for the upcoming gauntlet, and consider using TMs to create a more diverse movepool. The Poké Mart offers a wide assortment of items, so be sure to stock up on medicine while you can.

Save the game after each battle in case things do not go well. That way, you will only need to re-battle the previous opponent. Unlike past games, where challengers fought against each Elite Four member in the same order, the Elite Four of [[Unova]] can be battled in any order. The elite Trainers are waiting in their separate rooms, each accessible from the central plaza. From left to right, they are [[Shauntal]], [[Grimsley]], [[Caitlin]], and [[Marshal]]. After defeating each Trainer, you will be warped back to the plaza, and a blue light shines from the floor. Once all four tiles are lit up, you can challenge the Champion.

{{clear}}
[[File:Black White Shauntal.png|thumb|100px|right|Shauntal]]
=== Left room: Shauntal ===
When you enter the far-left room, a pair of will-o-wisps will carry you up the spiral staircase. On top of the towering bookshelf is [[Shauntal]], an accomplished novelist and master of the {{type2|Ghost}}.

Shauntal's lead, {{p|Cofagrigus}}, is a female spook who has four moves of different types, packing {{m|Psychic}}, {{m|Shadow Ball}}, {{m|Will-o-Wisp}} and {{m|Grass Knot}} in its arsenal. It has high defenses, making it quite hard to take down. It has quite low speed, which you can use to your advantage.

Her next Pokémon is Jellicent. It has four weaknesses, which you can use to your advantage. These include {{type|Ghost}}, {{type|Grass}}, {{type|Electric}} and {{type|Dark}}. Jellicent also packs fair Defense, excellent HP, and good Sp. Def., but if you stick to attacking, it will eventually fall.

Golurk and Chandelure share a weakness to Water, meaning a {{m|Surf|flooded}} battlefield is one of their worst nightmares. They are also weak to the usual types Ghosts are weak to: themselves and Dark types. If you have any of the types listed above, beating Shauntal will be like writing your language's alphabet.

=== Center-left room: Grimsley ===
The center-left room is designed like an elegant ballroom. Torches line the spiral staircase, and burst to life as you move past. An elaborate chandelier hangs above the battlefield, where you meet [[Grimsley]]. He is the son of a distinguished family that eventually fell into ruin. As a result, this master {{type2|Dark}} Trainer developed a gambling habit, hoping to win back his family's wealth. All of his Pokémon are vulnerable to {{type2|Fighting}} attacks, so you will be in great shape with moves like {{m|Brick Break}} or {{m|Focus Blast}}. If you haven't got any Fighting moves, try and hit them with their secondary weaknesses (like {{t|Water}} for [[Krookodile]] and {{t|Flying}} for Scrafty), or just use the strongest {{t|Bug}}-type move that you've got. Be careful when using Fighting-type Pokémon though, as his {{p|Liepard}} and {{p|Bisharp}} can strike back with {{m|Aerial Ace}}.

[[File:Black White Caitlin.png|thumb|300px|right|Caitlin]]

=== Center-right room: Caitlin ===
Upon reaching the edge of the platform, a veil of psychic energy will carry you along the ribbon-like walkway while meteors fall around you. The battlefield is supported by three tall columns, and a starry sky is seen behind. The curtains on the canopied bed open and out walks [[Caitlin]], the master {{type2|Psychic}} Trainer. {{type2|Dark}} Pokémon will be immune to most of her Pokémon's moves, but watch out for {{p|Reuniclus}}' {{m|Focus Blast}}! Use {{t|Ghost}}, {{t|Bug}}, and Dark-type moves to hit her Pokémon's weak points.

[[File:Black White Marshal.png|thumb|150px|left|Marshal]]

=== Right room: Marshal ===
The room to the right belongs to [[Marshal]], a master {{type2|Fighting}} Trainer. The small platform carries you up the winding track, around a column of mechanical parts. The battlefield is designed like an arena, and the spotlights flick on when you approach. All of Marshal's Pokémon are pure Fighting-types, and share a weakness to {{t|Flying}}- and {{type2|Psychic}} moves. However, if you choose to send in a Flying-type, he can retaliate with {{type2|Rock}} attacks. It is recommended to use TM40 to teach a Pokémon {{m|Aerial Ace}}; many Pokémon can learn it, including {{p|Serperior}} and {{p|Samurott}}.

[[File:GoldChampionRoom.png|thumb|left|Alder's room, before being destroyed by N's Castle]]
[[File:NsCastleRise.png|thumb|right|N's Castle rising up from the ground]]
=== The Champion's Temple ===
After defeating each member of the Elite Four, visit the statue in the center of the plaza. Check the plaque, and the statue takes you to the large chamber below. Go north and climb up the three flights of stairs to reach the Champion's temple. [[Alder]] and [[N]] are inside, and the battle is already over. Amazingly, N has won. Alder begs him not to separate Pokémon and people, but N will hear none of it. He realizes that you have obtained the {{DL|List of key items in Generation V|Light Stone}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{DL|List of key items in Generation V|Dark Stone}}{{sup|Wh}}, and is happy about it, for some reason. But he claims that this place isn't suitable for the legendary dragons, and moments later a giant castle rises up out of the ground and surrounds the Pokémon League! N leaves for the castle, and [[Cheren]] arrives to help Alder.

{{clear}}

== N's Castle ==
[[N's Castle]] was constructed in secret over many years, hidden away under the Pokémon League. Immediately upon entering the castle, you are confronted by six of the [[Seven Sages]]. Just as they are about to attack, the Gym Leaders jump into the fray! [[Bianca]] set out to warn them all about [[N]], but didn't have enough time to reach the Striaton Gym Leaders. Let them take care of the Sages while you go on ahead.

=== 2F ===
When you reach the second floor, one of the [[Shadow Triad]] appears. This member of the trio tells you not to fear, as you can heal your Pokémon and access your PC even inside the castle. It's a nice thing to hear from a surprising place.

The middle room is where you will meet [[Anthea and Concordia]], two high-ranking members of [[Team Plasma]]. Talk to Anthea on the left to have her heal your Pokémon. Talk to Concordia to hear a story about [[N]]'s past. Because of the strange way [[Ghetsis]] raised him, he doesn't trust people — only Pokémon.

=== 3F ===
Check the first room you pass on the third floor to find a laboratory. One of the researchers claims that Team Plasma managed to infiltrate the Pokémon Storage System. On N's command, they plan to steal and release every Pokémon stored in the PC system! You can use the PC here to reorganize their party if needed.

Talk to a Plasma Grunt in the west room to get an {{DL|Poké Ball|Ultra Ball}}. Another Grunt will give you the opportunity to warp back to the Poké Center by the Elite Four plaza. If you need more items, briefly return to the Pokémon League. Talk to the Grunt again to return to this room.

=== 4F ===
Another member of the Shadow Triad appears when you reach the fourth floor, and tells you that the room to the left is N's room. A basketball hoop, a child's train set... why is N living in a room full of toys?

In the center room is a Plasma Grunt who criticizes [[Team Galactic|two foreign]] [[Team Rocket|criminal groups]] for being too conspicuous. Team Plasma may have built their castle for years in secret, but surely their plans will crumble, as well. Grab the {{DL|Potion|Full Restore}} and climb to the fifth floor.

=== 5F ===
Ghetsis appears when you try to enter the throne room. He is excited because his ambitions are about to be realized. He claims that you should see if you have "what it takes to be the hero," and invites you to enter the throne room.

==== Throne Room ====
[[N]] is sitting on the throne. He tells you to show him the depth of your determination, and calls {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|Wh}} to his side. The legendary dragon breaks through the wall behind the throne, and lands near N. In a show of force, the dragon uses its crackling electricity{{sup|Bl}}/blazing fire{{sup|Wh}} to completely evaporate the water lining the sides of the room.

When the first dragon appears, the {{DL|List of key items in Generation V|Light Stone}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{DL|List of key items in Generation V|Dark Stone}}{{sup|Wh}} suddenly jumps out of your Bag. The stone floats in the air for a moment, slowly absorbing the aura from its surroundings before reawakening as {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|Wh}}. N says that it is testing you, and wants to help you. The dragon appears and battles you as a test. Get ready! 
Use {{t|Ground}}- or {{type2|Dragon}} moves to lower its health quickly, then weaken it further with {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Grass}}-, or {{type2|Electric}} attacks. Even if you knock it out, as long as there is room in the party or the PC, you can keep challenging it until it is captured. Capturing {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|Wh}} shouldn't be too terribly hard— both dragons have a much higher [[catch rate]] than all of the other legendaries. Try throwing a [[Quick Ball]] at it on the first turn, or lower its HP and use an [[Ultra Ball]].

When added to the party, it will always be the lead Pokémon. That way, the first round with N will always be one legendary dragon against the other. Use {{t|Ground}}- and {{type2|Dragon}} attacks to wear down the opposing dragon. If {{p|Reshiram}} attacks with {{m|Fusion Flare}} after {{p|Zekrom}} uses {{m|Fusion Bolt}} (and vice-versa), the second dragon to attack will inflict double the damage. Usually, your dragon will be slower than his, so use that to your advantage. 
As for his other Pokémon, use their weaknesses to gain the upper hand. His {{p|Vanilluxe}} and {{p|Klinklang}} are weak against {{t|Fire}} attacks, while {{p|Zoroark}}, and {{p|Carracosta}} are all vulnerable to {{type2|Fighting}} attacks. Don't let Zoroark fool you; it will take the form of the last Pokémon N used, so still utilize Fighting and Bug-type moves due to its Dark-type typing. His two fossil Pokémon (Carracosta and {{p|Archeops}} are also at a disadvantage against {{type2|Electric}} moves. Almost all of N's team except for the legendary and Archeops are weak to Fighting-type attacks though, so make use of Brick Break, Low Sweep, or Focus Blast. If you started out with {{p|Emboar}}, this fight shouldn't be too hard.

Finally defeated, [[N]] is forced to question his convictions. Two heroes at the same time... one that pursues truth, one that pursues ideals... Could they both be right? [[Ghetsis]] appears, and yells at N for losing to an ordinary Trainer. His words also imply that N is his son, as they apparently share the surname Harmonia. Ghetsis reveals that he was pulling [[Team Plasma]]'s strings, and hoped to use his position within the organization to manipulate people into releasing their Pokémon, leaving themselves defenseless against his ambitions. He says that those who get in the way must be eliminated. [[Alder]] and [[Cheren]] arrive to help, and Ghetsis attacks the player. 
His Pokémon have few weaknesses, especially {{p|Eelektross}}, which has none due to its ability, [[Levitate]], although a Pokémon with a {{t|ground}}-type move and [[Mold Breaker]] will break through it. {{type2|Grass}} attacks will inflict four times the damage to his {{p|Seismitoad}}, and {{p|Bisharp}} is doubly vulnerable to {{type2|Fighting}} moves. [[Cofagrigus]] and [[Bouffalant]] should be pretty straightforward, but KO Bouffalant quickly to make sure it can't do too much damage. 
The real trouble comes when {{p|Hydreigon}} appears. It will destroy any {{t|Ice}}-types with [[Fire Blast]], so don't use pure Ice-types against him. Chances are, if Hydreigon doesn't have anything super-effective against you, it will spam [[Dragon Pulse]], so make sure you can live through at least one hit. A Pokémon with high [[Special Defense]] will be useful here. Otherwise, keep on healing and blasting at it until it goes down.

Ghetsis can't believe that he, "the perfect ruler of a perfect new world," was defeated. He laughs evilly and then explains that he told N to become the hero. Ghetsis couldn't meet the Legendary dragon because the dragon will only obey someone with a pure heart. Alder and Cheren take him into custody, and N explains that he wanted to battle you again and again because he couldn't believe that your Pokémon were happy with you. You and him walk to the back of the room, where he releases his dragon through the hole in the wall and bids you farewell.

After the credits roll, a short cutscene shows Zekrom{{sup|Bl}}/Reshiram{{sup|Wh}} flying along with N on its back, and using the power in its tail to accelerate across the sky.

When the credits are over, you are back home in [[Nuvema Town]].

Walkthrough:Pokémon Black and White/Part 12

2012-05-30T07:17:33Z

Orderly Chaos: /* Throne Room */

== The Elite Four ==
[[File:Unova Pokémon League.png|thumb|right|Outside the central plaza]]

The {{un|Pokémon League}} is where the Elite Four await the challenge of aspiring Trainers. The four are the most talented Trainers of their respective types, and should not be taken lightly.

Stop by the Pokémon Center in the structure to the west. When preparing a team, it is recommended to bring Pokémon with levels in the mid-50s, if not higher. The player should have their Pokémon well-rested for the upcoming gauntlet, and consider using TMs to create a more diverse movepool. The Poké Mart offers a wide assortment of items, so be sure to stock up on medicine while you can.

Save the game after each battle in case things do not go well. That way, you will only need to re-battle the previous opponent. Unlike past games, where challengers fought against each Elite Four member in the same order, the Elite Four of [[Unova]] can be battled in any order. The elite Trainers are waiting in their separate rooms, each accessible from the central plaza. From left to right, they are [[Shauntal]], [[Grimsley]], [[Caitlin]], and [[Marshal]]. After defeating each Trainer, you will be warped back to the plaza, and a blue light shines from the floor. Once all four tiles are lit up, you can challenge the Champion.

[[File:Black White Shauntal.png|thumb|100px|right|Shauntal]]
=== Left room: Shauntal ===
When you enter the far-left room, a pair of will-o-wisps will carry you up the spiral staircase. On top of the towering bookshelf is [[Shauntal]], an accomplished novelist and master of the {{type2|Ghost}}.

Shauntal's lead, {{p|Cofagrigus}}, is a female spook who has four moves of different types, packing {{m|Psychic}}, {{m|Shadow Ball}}, {{m|Will-o-Wisp}} and {{m|Grass Knot}} in its arsenal. It has high defenses, making it quite hard to take down. It has quite low speed, which you can use to your advantage.

Her next Pokémon is Jellicent. It has four weaknesses, which you can use to your advantage. These include {{type|Ghost}}, {{type|Grass}}, {{type|Electric}} and {{type|Dark}}. Jellicent also packs fair Defense, excellent HP, and good Sp. Def., but if you stick to attacking, it will eventually fall.

Golurk and Chandelure share a weakness to Water, meaning a {{m|Surf|flooded}} battlefield is one of their worst nightmares. They are also weak to the usual types Ghosts are weak to: themselves and Dark types. If you have any of the types listed above, beating Shauntal will be like writing your language's alphabet.

[[File:Black White Grimsley.png|thumb|100px|left|Grimsley]]

=== Center-left room: Grimsley ===
The center-left room is designed like an elegant ballroom. Torches line the spiral staircase, and burst to life as you move past. An elaborate chandelier hangs above the battlefield, where you meet [[Grimsley]]. He is the son of a distinguished family that eventually fell into ruin. As a result, this master {{type2|Dark}} Trainer developed a gambling habit, hoping to win back his family's wealth. All of his Pokémon are vulnerable to {{type2|Fighting}} attacks, so you will be in great shape with moves like {{m|Brick Break}} or {{m|Focus Blast}}. If you haven't got any Fighting moves, try and hit them with their secondary weaknesses (like {{t|Water}} for [[Krookodile]] and {{t|Flying}} for Scrafty), or just use the strongest {{t|Bug}}-type move that you've got. Be careful when using Fighting-type Pokémon though, as his {{p|Liepard}} and {{p|Bisharp}} can strike back with {{m|Aerial Ace}}.

[[File:Black White Caitlin.png|thumb|300px|right|Caitlin]]

=== Center-right room: Caitlin ===
Upon reaching the edge of the platform, a veil of psychic energy will carry you along the ribbon-like walkway while meteors fall around you. The battlefield is supported by three tall columns, and a starry sky is seen behind. The curtains on the canopied bed open and out walks [[Caitlin]], the master {{type2|Psychic}} Trainer. {{type2|Dark}} Pokémon will be immune to most of her Pokémon's moves, but watch out for {{p|Reuniclus}}' {{m|Focus Blast}}! Use {{t|Ghost}}, {{t|Bug}}, and Dark-type moves to hit her Pokémon's weak points.

[[File:Black White Marshal.png|thumb|150px|left|Marshal]]

=== Right room: Marshal ===
The room to the right belongs to [[Marshal]], a master {{type2|Fighting}} Trainer. The small platform carries you up the winding track, around a column of mechanical parts. The battlefield is designed like an arena, and the spotlights flick on when you approach. All of Marshal's Pokémon are pure Fighting-types, and share a weakness to {{t|Flying}}- and {{type2|Psychic}} moves. However, if you choose to send in a Flying-type, he can retaliate with {{type2|Rock}} attacks. It is recommended to use TM40 to teach a Pokémon {{m|Aerial Ace}}; many Pokémon can learn it, including {{p|Serperior}} and {{p|Samurott}}.

[[File:GoldChampionRoom.png|thumb|left|Alder's room, before being destroyed by N's Castle]]
[[File:NsCastleRise.png|thumb|right|N's Castle rising up from the ground]]
=== The Champion's Temple ===
After defeating each member of the Elite Four, visit the statue in the center of the plaza. Check the plaque, and the statue takes you to the large chamber below. Go north and climb up the three flights of stairs to reach the Champion's temple. [[Alder]] and [[N]] are inside, and the battle is already over. Amazingly, N has won. Alder begs him not to separate Pokémon and people, but N will hear none of it. He realizes that you have obtained the {{DL|List of key items in Generation V|Light Stone}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{DL|List of key items in Generation V|Dark Stone}}{{sup|Wh}}, and is happy about it, for some reason. But he claims that this place isn't suitable for the legendary dragons, and moments later a giant castle rises up out of the ground and surrounds the Pokémon League! N leaves for the castle, and [[Cheren]] arrives to help Alder.

{{clear}}

== N's Castle ==
[[N's Castle]] was constructed in secret over many years, hidden away under the Pokémon League. Immediately upon entering the castle, you are confronted by six of the [[Seven Sages]]. Just as they are about to attack, the Gym Leaders jump into the fray! [[Bianca]] set out to warn them all about [[N]], but didn't have enough time to reach the Striaton Gym Leaders. Let them take care of the Sages while you go on ahead.

=== 2F ===
When you reach the second floor, one of the [[Shadow Triad]] appears. This member of the trio tells you not to fear, as you can heal your Pokémon and access your PC even inside the castle. It's a nice thing to hear from a surprising place.

The middle room is where you will meet [[Anthea and Concordia]], two high-ranking members of [[Team Plasma]]. Talk to Anthea on the left to have her heal your Pokémon. Talk to Concordia to hear a story about [[N]]'s past. Because of the strange way [[Ghetsis]] raised him, he doesn't trust people — only Pokémon.

=== 3F ===
Check the first room you pass on the third floor to find a laboratory. One of the researchers claims that Team Plasma managed to infiltrate the Pokémon Storage System. On N's command, they plan to steal and release every Pokémon stored in the PC system! You can use the PC here to reorganize their party if needed.

Talk to a Plasma Grunt in the west room to get an {{DL|Poké Ball|Ultra Ball}}. Another Grunt will give you the opportunity to warp back to the Poké Center by the Elite Four plaza. If you need more items, briefly return to the Pokémon League. Talk to the Grunt again to return to this room.

=== 4F ===
Another member of the Shadow Triad appears when you reach the fourth floor, and tells you that the room to the left is N's room. A basketball hoop, a child's train set... why is N living in a room full of toys?

In the center room is a Plasma Grunt who criticizes [[Team Galactic|two foreign]] [[Team Rocket|criminal groups]] for being too conspicuous. Team Plasma may have built their castle for years in secret, but surely their plans will crumble, as well. Grab the {{DL|Potion|Full Restore}} and climb to the fifth floor.

=== 5F ===
Ghetsis appears when you try to enter the throne room. He is excited because his ambitions are about to be realized. He claims that you should see if you have "what it takes to be the hero," and invites you to enter the throne room.

==== Throne Room ====
[[N]] is sitting on the throne. He tells you to show him the depth of your determination, and calls {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|Wh}} to his side. The legendary dragon breaks through the wall behind the throne, and lands near N. In a show of force, the dragon uses its crackling electricity{{sup|Bl}}/blazing fire{{sup|Wh}} to completely evaporate the water lining the sides of the room.

When the first dragon appears, the {{DL|List of key items in Generation V|Light Stone}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{DL|List of key items in Generation V|Dark Stone}}{{sup|Wh}} suddenly jumps out of your Bag. The stone floats in the air for a moment, slowly absorbing the aura from its surroundings before reawakening as {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|Wh}}. N says that it is testing you, and wants to help you. Use {{t|Ground}}- or {{type2|Dragon}} moves to lower its health quickly, then weaken it further with {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Grass}}-, or {{type2|Electric}} attacks. Even if you knock it out, as long as there is room in the party or the PC, you can keep challenging it until it is captured. Capturing {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|Wh}} shouldn't be too terribly hard— both dragons have a much higher [[catch rate]] than all of the other legendaries. Try throwing a [[Quick Ball]] at it on the first turn, or lower its HP and use an [[Ultra Ball]].

When added to the party, it will always be the lead Pokémon. That way, the first round with N will always be one legendary dragon against the other. Use {{t|Ground}}- and {{type2|Dragon}} attacks to wear down the opposing dragon. If {{p|Reshiram}} attacks with {{m|Fusion Flare}} after {{p|Zekrom}} uses {{m|Fusion Bolt}} (and vice-versa), the second dragon to attack will inflict double the damage. Usually, your dragon will be slower than his, so use that to your advantage. 
As for his other Pokémon, use their weaknesses to gain the upper hand. His {{p|Vanilluxe}} and {{p|Klinklang}} are weak against {{t|Fire}} attacks, while {{p|Zoroark}}, and {{p|Carracosta}} are all vulnerable to {{type2|Fighting}} attacks. Don't let Zoroark fool you; it will take the form of the last Pokémon N used, so still utilize Fighting and Bug-type moves due to its Dark-type typing. His two fossil Pokémon (Carracosta and {{p|Archeops}} are also at a disadvantage against {{type2|Electric}} moves. Almost all of N's team except for the legendary and Archeops are weak to Fighting-type attacks though, so make use of Brick Break, Low Sweep, or Focus Blast. If you started out with {{p|Emboar}}, this fight shouldn't be too hard.

Finally defeated, [[N]] is forced to question his convictions. Two heroes at the same time... one that pursues truth, one that pursues ideals... Could they both be right? [[Ghetsis]] appears, and yells at N for losing to an ordinary Trainer. His words also imply that N is his son, as they apparently share the surname Harmonia. Ghetsis reveals that he was pulling [[Team Plasma]]'s strings, and hoped to use his position within the organization to manipulate people into releasing their Pokémon, leaving themselves defenseless against his ambitions. He says that those who get in the way must be eliminated. [[Alder]] and [[Cheren]] arrive to help, and Ghetsis attacks the player. 
His Pokémon have few weaknesses, especially {{p|Eelektross}}, which has none due to its ability, [[Levitate]], although a Pokémon with a {{t|ground}}-type move and [[Mold Breaker]] will break through it. {{type2|Grass}} attacks will inflict four times the damage to his {{p|Seismitoad}}, and {{p|Bisharp}} is doubly vulnerable to {{type2|Fighting}} moves. [[Cofagrigus]] and [[Bouffalant]] should be pretty straightforward, but KO Bouffalant quickly to make sure it can't do too much damage. 
The real trouble comes when {{p|Hydreigon}} appears. It will destroy any {{t|Ice}}-types with [[Fire Blast]], so don't use pure Ice-types against him. Chances are, if Hydreigon doesn't have anything super-effective against you, it will spam [[Dragon Pulse]], so make sure you can live through at least one hit. A Pokémon with high [[Special Defense]] will be useful here. Otherwise, keep on healing and blasting at it until it goes down.

Ghetsis can't believe that he, "the perfect ruler of a perfect new world," was defeated. He laughs evilly and then explains that he told N to become the hero. Ghetsis couldn't meet the Legendary dragon because the dragon will only obey someone with a pure heart. Alder and Cheren take him into custody, and N explains that he wanted to battle you again and again because he couldn't believe that your Pokémon were happy with you. You and him walk to the back of the room, where he releases his dragon through the hole in the wall and bids you farewell.

After the credits roll, a short cutscene shows Zekrom{{sup|Bl}}/Reshiram{{sup|Wh}} flying along with N on its back, and using the power in its tail to accelerate across the sky.

When the credits are over, you are back home in [[Nuvema Town]].

Walkthrough:Pokémon Black and White/Part 12

2012-05-30T07:08:25Z

Orderly Chaos: /* Center-left room: Grimsley */

== The Elite Four ==
[[File:Unova Pokémon League.png|thumb|right|Outside the central plaza]]

The {{un|Pokémon League}} is where the Elite Four await the challenge of aspiring Trainers. The four are the most talented Trainers of their respective types, and should not be taken lightly.

Stop by the Pokémon Center in the structure to the west. When preparing a team, it is recommended to bring Pokémon with levels in the mid-50s, if not higher. The player should have their Pokémon well-rested for the upcoming gauntlet, and consider using TMs to create a more diverse movepool. The Poké Mart offers a wide assortment of items, so be sure to stock up on medicine while you can.

Save the game after each battle in case things do not go well. That way, you will only need to re-battle the previous opponent. Unlike past games, where challengers fought against each Elite Four member in the same order, the Elite Four of [[Unova]] can be battled in any order. The elite Trainers are waiting in their separate rooms, each accessible from the central plaza. From left to right, they are [[Shauntal]], [[Grimsley]], [[Caitlin]], and [[Marshal]]. After defeating each Trainer, you will be warped back to the plaza, and a blue light shines from the floor. Once all four tiles are lit up, you can challenge the Champion.

[[File:Black White Shauntal.png|thumb|100px|right|Shauntal]]
=== Left room: Shauntal ===
When you enter the far-left room, a pair of will-o-wisps will carry you up the spiral staircase. On top of the towering bookshelf is [[Shauntal]], an accomplished novelist and master of the {{type2|Ghost}}.

Shauntal's lead, {{p|Cofagrigus}}, is a female spook who has four moves of different types, packing {{m|Psychic}}, {{m|Shadow Ball}}, {{m|Will-o-Wisp}} and {{m|Grass Knot}} in its arsenal. It has high defenses, making it quite hard to take down. It has quite low speed, which you can use to your advantage.

Her next Pokémon is Jellicent. It has four weaknesses, which you can use to your advantage. These include {{type|Ghost}}, {{type|Grass}}, {{type|Electric}} and {{type|Dark}}. Jellicent also packs fair Defense, excellent HP, and good Sp. Def., but if you stick to attacking, it will eventually fall.

Golurk and Chandelure share a weakness to Water, meaning a {{m|Surf|flooded}} battlefield is one of their worst nightmares. They are also weak to the usual types Ghosts are weak to: themselves and Dark types. If you have any of the types listed above, beating Shauntal will be like writing your language's alphabet.

[[File:Black White Grimsley.png|thumb|100px|left|Grimsley]]

=== Center-left room: Grimsley ===
The center-left room is designed like an elegant ballroom. Torches line the spiral staircase, and burst to life as you move past. An elaborate chandelier hangs above the battlefield, where you meet [[Grimsley]]. He is the son of a distinguished family that eventually fell into ruin. As a result, this master {{type2|Dark}} Trainer developed a gambling habit, hoping to win back his family's wealth. All of his Pokémon are vulnerable to {{type2|Fighting}} attacks, so you will be in great shape with moves like {{m|Brick Break}} or {{m|Focus Blast}}. If you haven't got any Fighting moves, try and hit them with their secondary weaknesses (like {{t|Water}} for [[Krookodile]] and {{t|Flying}} for Scrafty), or just use the strongest {{t|Bug}}-type move that you've got. Be careful when using Fighting-type Pokémon though, as his {{p|Liepard}} and {{p|Bisharp}} can strike back with {{m|Aerial Ace}}.

[[File:Black White Caitlin.png|thumb|300px|right|Caitlin]]

=== Center-right room: Caitlin ===
Upon reaching the edge of the platform, a veil of psychic energy will carry you along the ribbon-like walkway while meteors fall around you. The battlefield is supported by three tall columns, and a starry sky is seen behind. The curtains on the canopied bed open and out walks [[Caitlin]], the master {{type2|Psychic}} Trainer. {{type2|Dark}} Pokémon will be immune to most of her Pokémon's moves, but watch out for {{p|Reuniclus}}' {{m|Focus Blast}}! Use {{t|Ghost}}, {{t|Bug}}, and Dark-type moves to hit her Pokémon's weak points.

[[File:Black White Marshal.png|thumb|150px|left|Marshal]]

=== Right room: Marshal ===
The room to the right belongs to [[Marshal]], a master {{type2|Fighting}} Trainer. The small platform carries you up the winding track, around a column of mechanical parts. The battlefield is designed like an arena, and the spotlights flick on when you approach. All of Marshal's Pokémon are pure Fighting-types, and share a weakness to {{t|Flying}}- and {{type2|Psychic}} moves. However, if you choose to send in a Flying-type, he can retaliate with {{type2|Rock}} attacks. It is recommended to use TM40 to teach a Pokémon {{m|Aerial Ace}}; many Pokémon can learn it, including {{p|Serperior}} and {{p|Samurott}}.

[[File:GoldChampionRoom.png|thumb|left|Alder's room, before being destroyed by N's Castle]]
[[File:NsCastleRise.png|thumb|right|N's Castle rising up from the ground]]
=== The Champion's Temple ===
After defeating each member of the Elite Four, visit the statue in the center of the plaza. Check the plaque, and the statue takes you to the large chamber below. Go north and climb up the three flights of stairs to reach the Champion's temple. [[Alder]] and [[N]] are inside, and the battle is already over. Amazingly, N has won. Alder begs him not to separate Pokémon and people, but N will hear none of it. He realizes that you have obtained the {{DL|List of key items in Generation V|Light Stone}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{DL|List of key items in Generation V|Dark Stone}}{{sup|Wh}}, and is happy about it, for some reason. But he claims that this place isn't suitable for the legendary dragons, and moments later a giant castle rises up out of the ground and surrounds the Pokémon League! N leaves for the castle, and [[Cheren]] arrives to help Alder.

{{clear}}

== N's Castle ==
[[N's Castle]] was constructed in secret over many years, hidden away under the Pokémon League. Immediately upon entering the castle, you are confronted by six of the [[Seven Sages]]. Just as they are about to attack, the Gym Leaders jump into the fray! [[Bianca]] set out to warn them all about [[N]], but didn't have enough time to reach the Striaton Gym Leaders. Let them take care of the Sages while you go on ahead.

=== 2F ===
When you reach the second floor, one of the [[Shadow Triad]] appears. This member of the trio tells you not to fear, as you can heal your Pokémon and access your PC even inside the castle. It's a nice thing to hear from a surprising place.

The middle room is where you will meet [[Anthea and Concordia]], two high-ranking members of [[Team Plasma]]. Talk to Anthea on the left to have her heal your Pokémon. Talk to Concordia to hear a story about [[N]]'s past. Because of the strange way [[Ghetsis]] raised him, he doesn't trust people — only Pokémon.

=== 3F ===
Check the first room you pass on the third floor to find a laboratory. One of the researchers claims that Team Plasma managed to infiltrate the Pokémon Storage System. On N's command, they plan to steal and release every Pokémon stored in the PC system! You can use the PC here to reorganize their party if needed.

Talk to a Plasma Grunt in the west room to get an {{DL|Poké Ball|Ultra Ball}}. Another Grunt will give you the opportunity to warp back to the Poké Center by the Elite Four plaza. If you need more items, briefly return to the Pokémon League. Talk to the Grunt again to return to this room.

=== 4F ===
Another member of the Shadow Triad appears when you reach the fourth floor, and tells you that the room to the left is N's room. A basketball hoop, a child's train set... why is N living in a room full of toys?

In the center room is a Plasma Grunt who criticizes [[Team Galactic|two foreign]] [[Team Rocket|criminal groups]] for being too conspicuous. Team Plasma may have built their castle for years in secret, but surely their plans will crumble, as well. Grab the {{DL|Potion|Full Restore}} and climb to the fifth floor.

=== 5F ===
Ghetsis appears when you try to enter the throne room. He is excited because his ambitions are about to be realized. He claims that you should see if you have "what it takes to be the hero," and invites you to enter the throne room.

==== Throne Room ====
[[N]] is sitting on the throne. He tells you to show him the depth of your determination, and calls {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|Wh}} to his side. The legendary dragon breaks through the wall behind the throne, and lands near N. In a show of force, the dragon uses its crackling electricity{{sup|Bl}}/blazing fire{{sup|Wh}} to completely evaporate the water lining the sides of the room.

When the first dragon appears, the {{DL|List of key items in Generation V|Light Stone}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{DL|List of key items in Generation V|Dark Stone}}{{sup|Wh}} suddenly jumps out of your Bag. The stone floats in the air for a moment, slowly absorbing the aura from its surroundings before reawakening as {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|Wh}}. N says that it is testing you, and wants to help you. Use {{t|Ground}}- or {{type2|Dragon}} moves to lower its health quickly, then weaken it further with {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Grass}}-, or {{type2|Electric}} attacks. Even if you knock it out, as long as there is room in the party or the PC, you can keep challenging it until it is captured. Capturing {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|Wh}} shouldn't be too terribly hard— both dragons have a much higher [[catch rate]] than all of the other legendaries.

When added to the party, it will always be the lead Pokémon. That way, the first round with N will always be one legendary dragon against the other. Use {{t|Ground}}- and {{type2|Dragon}} attacks to wear down the opposing dragon. If {{p|Reshiram}} attacks with {{m|Fusion Flare}} after {{p|Zekrom}} uses {{m|Fusion Bolt}} (and vice-versa), the second dragon to attack will inflict double the damage. As for his other Pokémon, use their weaknesses gain the upper hand. His {{p|Vanilluxe}} and {{p|Klinklang}} are weak against {{t|Fire}} attacks, while they, {{p|Zoroark}}, and {{p|Carracosta}} are all vulnerable to {{type2|Fighting}} attacks. Don't let Zoroark fool you; it will take the form of the last Pokémon N used, so still utilize Fighting and Bug-type moves due to its Dark-type typing. His two fossil Pokémon are also at a disadvantage against {{type2|Electric}} moves. Almost all of N's team except for the legendary and Archeops are weak to Fighting-type attacks though, so make use of Brick Break, Low Sweep, or Focus Blast.

Finally defeated, [[N]] is forced to question his convictions. Two heroes at the same time... one that pursues truth, one that pursues ideals... Could they both be right? [[Ghetsis]] appears, and yells at N for losing to an ordinary Trainer. His words also imply that N is his son, as they apparently share the surname Harmonia. Ghetsis reveals that he was pulling [[Team Plasma]]'s strings, and hoped to use his position within the organization to manipulate people into releasing their Pokémon, leaving themselves defenseless against his ambitions. He says that those who get in the way must be eliminated. [[Alder]] and [[Cheren]] arrive to help, and Ghetsis attacks the player. His Pokémon have few weaknesses, especially {{p|Eelektross}}, which has none due to its ability. {{type2|Grass}} attacks will inflict four times the damage to his {{p|Seismitoad}}, and {{p|Bisharp}} is doubly vulnerable to {{type2|Fighting}} moves. Use moves effectively to exploit his few weak points.

Ghetsis can't believe that he, "the perfect ruler of a perfect new world," was defeated. He laughs evilly and then explains that he told N to become the hero. Ghetsis couldn't meet the Legendary dragon because the dragon will only obey someone with a pure heart. Alder and Cheren take him into custody, and N explains that he wanted to battle you again and again because he couldn't believe that your Pokémon were happy with you. You and him walk to the back of the room, where he releases his dragon through the hole in the wall and bids you farewell.

After the credits roll, a short cutscene shows Zekrom{{sup|Bl}}/Reshiram{{sup|Wh}} flying along with N on its back, and using the power in its tail to accelerate across the sky.

When the credits are over, you are back home in [[Nuvema Town]].

Walkthrough:Pokémon Black and White/Part 12

2012-05-30T07:05:29Z

Orderly Chaos: /* Center-right room: Caitlin */

== The Elite Four ==
[[File:Unova Pokémon League.png|thumb|right|Outside the central plaza]]

The {{un|Pokémon League}} is where the Elite Four await the challenge of aspiring Trainers. The four are the most talented Trainers of their respective types, and should not be taken lightly.

Stop by the Pokémon Center in the structure to the west. When preparing a team, it is recommended to bring Pokémon with levels in the mid-50s, if not higher. The player should have their Pokémon well-rested for the upcoming gauntlet, and consider using TMs to create a more diverse movepool. The Poké Mart offers a wide assortment of items, so be sure to stock up on medicine while you can.

Save the game after each battle in case things do not go well. That way, you will only need to re-battle the previous opponent. Unlike past games, where challengers fought against each Elite Four member in the same order, the Elite Four of [[Unova]] can be battled in any order. The elite Trainers are waiting in their separate rooms, each accessible from the central plaza. From left to right, they are [[Shauntal]], [[Grimsley]], [[Caitlin]], and [[Marshal]]. After defeating each Trainer, you will be warped back to the plaza, and a blue light shines from the floor. Once all four tiles are lit up, you can challenge the Champion.

When you enter the far-left room, a pair of will-o-wisps will carry you up the spiral staircase. On top of the towering bookshelf is [[Shauntal]], an accomplished novelist and master of the {{type2|Ghost}}.

Shauntal's lead, {{p|Cofagrigus}}, is a female spook who has four moves of different types, packing {{m|Psychic}}, {{m|Shadow Ball}}, {{m|Will-o-Wisp}} and {{m|Grass Knot}} in its arsenal. It has high defenses, making it quite hard to take down. It has quite low speed, which you can use to your advantage.

Her next Pokémon is Jellicent. It has four weaknesses, which you can use to your advantage. These include {{type|Ghost}}, {{type|Grass}}, {{type|Electric}} and {{type|Dark}}. Jellicent also packs fair Defense, excellent HP, and good Sp. Def., but if you stick to attacking, it will eventually fall.

Golurk and Chandelure share a weakness to Water, meaning a {{m|Surf|flooded}} battlefield is one of their worst nightmares. They are also weak to the usual types Ghosts are weak to: themselves and Dark types. If you have any of the types listed above, beating Shauntal will be like writing your language's alphabet.

[[File:Black White Grimsley.png|thumb|100px|left|Grimsley]]

=== Center-left room: Grimsley ===
The center-left room is designed like an elegant ballroom. Torches line the spiral staircase, and burst to life as you move past. An elaborate chandelier hangs above the battlefield, where you meet [[Grimsley]]. He is the son of a distinguished family that eventually fell into ruin. As a result, this master {{type2|Dark}} Trainer developed a gambling habit, hoping to win back his family's wealth. All of his Pokémon are vulnerable to {{type2|Fighting}} attacks, so you will be in great shape with moves like {{m|Brick Break}} or {{m|Focus Blast}}. Be careful when using Fighting-type Pokémon though, as his {{p|Liepard}} and {{p|Bisharp}} can strike back with {{m|Aerial Ace}}!

=== Center-right room: Caitlin ===
Upon reaching the edge of the platform, a veil of psychic energy will carry you along the ribbon-like walkway while meteors fall around you. The battlefield is supported by three tall columns, and a starry sky is seen behind. The curtains on the canopied bed open and out walks [[Caitlin]], the master {{type2|Psychic}} Trainer. {{type2|Dark}} Pokémon will be immune to most of her Pokémon's moves, but watch out for {{p|Reuniclus}}' {{m|Focus Blast}}! Use {{t|Ghost}}, {{t|Bug}}, and Dark-type moves to hit her Pokémon's weak points.

[[File:Black White Marshal.png|thumb|150px|left|Marshal]]

=== Right room: Marshal ===
The room to the right belongs to [[Marshal]], a master {{type2|Fighting}} Trainer. The small platform carries you up the winding track, around a column of mechanical parts. The battlefield is designed like an arena, and the spotlights flick on when you approach. All of Marshal's Pokémon are pure Fighting-types, and share a weakness to {{t|Flying}}- and {{type2|Psychic}} moves. However, if you choose to send in a Flying-type, he can retaliate with {{type2|Rock}} attacks. It is recommended to use TM40 to teach a Pokémon {{m|Aerial Ace}}; many Pokémon can learn it, including {{p|Serperior}} and {{p|Samurott}}.

[[File:GoldChampionRoom.png|thumb|left|Alder's room, before being destroyed by N's Castle]]
[[File:NsCastleRise.png|thumb|right|N's Castle rising up from the ground]]
=== The Champion's Temple ===
After defeating each member of the Elite Four, visit the statue in the center of the plaza. Check the plaque, and the statue takes you to the large chamber below. Go north and climb up the three flights of stairs to reach the Champion's temple. [[Alder]] and [[N]] are inside, and the battle is already over. Amazingly, N has won. Alder begs him not to separate Pokémon and people, but N will hear none of it. He realizes that you have obtained the {{DL|List of key items in Generation V|Light Stone}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{DL|List of key items in Generation V|Dark Stone}}{{sup|Wh}}, and is happy about it, for some reason. But he claims that this place isn't suitable for the legendary dragons, and moments later a giant castle rises up out of the ground and surrounds the Pokémon League! N leaves for the castle, and [[Cheren]] arrives to help Alder.

{{clear}}

== N's Castle ==
[[N's Castle]] was constructed in secret over many years, hidden away under the Pokémon League. Immediately upon entering the castle, you are confronted by six of the [[Seven Sages]]. Just as they are about to attack, the Gym Leaders jump into the fray! [[Bianca]] set out to warn them all about [[N]], but didn't have enough time to reach the Striaton Gym Leaders. Let them take care of the Sages while you go on ahead.

=== 2F ===
When you reach the second floor, one of the [[Shadow Triad]] appears. This member of the trio tells you not to fear, as you can heal your Pokémon and access your PC even inside the castle. It's a nice thing to hear from a surprising place.

The middle room is where you will meet [[Anthea and Concordia]], two high-ranking members of [[Team Plasma]]. Talk to Anthea on the left to have her heal your Pokémon. Talk to Concordia to hear a story about [[N]]'s past. Because of the strange way [[Ghetsis]] raised him, he doesn't trust people — only Pokémon.

=== 3F ===
Check the first room you pass on the third floor to find a laboratory. One of the researchers claims that Team Plasma managed to infiltrate the Pokémon Storage System. On N's command, they plan to steal and release every Pokémon stored in the PC system! You can use the PC here to reorganize their party if needed.

Talk to a Plasma Grunt in the west room to get an {{DL|Poké Ball|Ultra Ball}}. Another Grunt will give you the opportunity to warp back to the Poké Center by the Elite Four plaza. If you need more items, briefly return to the Pokémon League. Talk to the Grunt again to return to this room.

=== 4F ===
Another member of the Shadow Triad appears when you reach the fourth floor, and tells you that the room to the left is N's room. A basketball hoop, a child's train set... why is N living in a room full of toys?

In the center room is a Plasma Grunt who criticizes [[Team Galactic|two foreign]] [[Team Rocket|criminal groups]] for being too conspicuous. Team Plasma may have built their castle for years in secret, but surely their plans will crumble, as well. Grab the {{DL|Potion|Full Restore}} and climb to the fifth floor.

=== 5F ===
Ghetsis appears when you try to enter the throne room. He is excited because his ambitions are about to be realized. He claims that you should see if you have "what it takes to be the hero," and invites you to enter the throne room.

==== Throne Room ====
[[N]] is sitting on the throne. He tells you to show him the depth of your determination, and calls {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|Wh}} to his side. The legendary dragon breaks through the wall behind the throne, and lands near N. In a show of force, the dragon uses its crackling electricity{{sup|Bl}}/blazing fire{{sup|Wh}} to completely evaporate the water lining the sides of the room.

When the first dragon appears, the {{DL|List of key items in Generation V|Light Stone}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{DL|List of key items in Generation V|Dark Stone}}{{sup|Wh}} suddenly jumps out of your Bag. The stone floats in the air for a moment, slowly absorbing the aura from its surroundings before reawakening as {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|Wh}}. N says that it is testing you, and wants to help you. Use {{t|Ground}}- or {{type2|Dragon}} moves to lower its health quickly, then weaken it further with {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Grass}}-, or {{type2|Electric}} attacks. Even if you knock it out, as long as there is room in the party or the PC, you can keep challenging it until it is captured. Capturing {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|Wh}} shouldn't be too terribly hard— both dragons have a much higher [[catch rate]] than all of the other legendaries.

When added to the party, it will always be the lead Pokémon. That way, the first round with N will always be one legendary dragon against the other. Use {{t|Ground}}- and {{type2|Dragon}} attacks to wear down the opposing dragon. If {{p|Reshiram}} attacks with {{m|Fusion Flare}} after {{p|Zekrom}} uses {{m|Fusion Bolt}} (and vice-versa), the second dragon to attack will inflict double the damage. As for his other Pokémon, use their weaknesses gain the upper hand. His {{p|Vanilluxe}} and {{p|Klinklang}} are weak against {{t|Fire}} attacks, while they, {{p|Zoroark}}, and {{p|Carracosta}} are all vulnerable to {{type2|Fighting}} attacks. Don't let Zoroark fool you; it will take the form of the last Pokémon N used, so still utilize Fighting and Bug-type moves due to its Dark-type typing. His two fossil Pokémon are also at a disadvantage against {{type2|Electric}} moves. Almost all of N's team except for the legendary and Archeops are weak to Fighting-type attacks though, so make use of Brick Break, Low Sweep, or Focus Blast.

Finally defeated, [[N]] is forced to question his convictions. Two heroes at the same time... one that pursues truth, one that pursues ideals... Could they both be right? [[Ghetsis]] appears, and yells at N for losing to an ordinary Trainer. His words also imply that N is his son, as they apparently share the surname Harmonia. Ghetsis reveals that he was pulling [[Team Plasma]]'s strings, and hoped to use his position within the organization to manipulate people into releasing their Pokémon, leaving themselves defenseless against his ambitions. He says that those who get in the way must be eliminated. [[Alder]] and [[Cheren]] arrive to help, and Ghetsis attacks the player. His Pokémon have few weaknesses, especially {{p|Eelektross}}, which has none due to its ability. {{type2|Grass}} attacks will inflict four times the damage to his {{p|Seismitoad}}, and {{p|Bisharp}} is doubly vulnerable to {{type2|Fighting}} moves. Use moves effectively to exploit his few weak points.

Ghetsis can't believe that he, "the perfect ruler of a perfect new world," was defeated. He laughs evilly and then explains that he told N to become the hero. Ghetsis couldn't meet the Legendary dragon because the dragon will only obey someone with a pure heart. Alder and Cheren take him into custody, and N explains that he wanted to battle you again and again because he couldn't believe that your Pokémon were happy with you. You and him walk to the back of the room, where he releases his dragon through the hole in the wall and bids you farewell.

After the credits roll, a short cutscene shows Zekrom{{sup|Bl}}/Reshiram{{sup|Wh}} flying along with N on its back, and using the power in its tail to accelerate across the sky.

When the credits are over, you are back home in [[Nuvema Town]].

{{redirect|Normal|glitched Normal-type|List of glitch types#Normal|List of glitch types}}
{{Types}}
The '''Normal type''' (Japanese: '''ノーマルタイプ''' ''Normal type'') is one of the seventeen [[type]]s. Notable Trainers that specialize in Normal-type Pokémon are [[Gym Leader]]s [[Whitney]] of [[Goldenrod City]], [[Norman]] of [[Petalburg City]], [[Lenora]] of [[Nacrene City]], and [[Cheren]] in an unknown city in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2]]. Prior to Generation IV, where moves are designated [[Physical move|physical]] or [[Special move|special]] based on the move itself rather than the type, all Normal-type moves were physical.

''Note:'' Although Normal-type attacks normally have no effect on {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon, the moves {{m|Foresight}} and {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, as well as the Ability {{a|Scrappy}}, allow both Normal-type and {{type2|Fighting}} moves to affect Ghost-type Pokémon. Additionally, the move {{m|Struggle}} can hit Ghost-type Pokémon.

==Characteristics==
The majority of Normal-type Pokémon do not have a second type. Almost all Normal-type Pokémon with two types are Normal/{{t|Flying}}, with the notable exceptions of {{p|Girafarig}} and {{p|Meloetta}}'s Aria Forme, which are Normal/{{t|Psychic}}, {{p|Bibarel}}, which is Normal/{{t|Water}}, {{p|Deerling}} and {{p|Sawsbuck}}, which are Normal/{{t|Grass}}, and {{p|Meloetta}}'s Pirouette Forme, which is Normal/{{t|Fighting}}.

There are also many Normal-type Pokémon that rely on an unusual "gimmick" strategy; these include {{p|Ditto}}, the {{p|Porygon}} family, {{p|Smeargle}}, {{p|Spinda}}, {{p|Castform}}, {{p|Kecleon}}, and {{p|Arceus}}. Thus, the Normal type could be thought of as the unspecialized "default" type.

===Defense===
The Normal type is a mixed bag defensively. It sports only one [[Fighting (type)|weakness]] and has one [[Ghost (type)|immunity]]. A fair number of Normal-type Pokémon also have high stats defensively. The downside, however, is that Fighting-type moves are very common and have gained popularity due their advantage over the Normal type. This is made even worse by the fact that [[Generation V]] has introduced many common powerful Fighting-type Pokémon, as well as more powerful moves. Furthermore, Pokémon of this typing have no resistances. The Normal and [[Electric (type)|Electric]] types have the smallest amount of weakness of all types, each with only one.

===Offense===
The type performs similarly offensively. There are only two types that resist Normal-type moves ({{t|Rock}} and {{t|Steel}}), and one type which is immune. When facing Pokémon with no resistance to their moves, Normal-type Pokémon can often deal high amounts of damage with a combination of high stats and [[same-type attack bonus]]. The downside to this is that Normal-type moves cannot deal super effective damage at all. Single-type Normal Pokémon generally have a wide variety of moves available to them with most of them being able to learn at least one move from the {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Ice}}, and {{t|Electric}} type move groups, though the low Special Attack of many Normal-types leaves much to be desired. Also, both of the Normal type's resistances are weak to Fighting and Ground moves, which many Normal-type Pokémon are able to learn.

===Contest Properties===
When used in contests, Normal-type moves do not favor a particular contest type.

==Pokémon==
As of Generation V, there are 97 Normal-type Pokémon or 14.95% of all Pokémon, making it the second most common type, behind {{t|Water}}.

{{movelist/battle-foot|Normal}}

==Trivia==
* With 171 {{cat|Normal-type moves}}, this type has the most [[move]]s available.
* Every generation has introduced Normal-type Pokémon with names that begin with the letters C, T, and S.
* No type is weak to Normal-type moves, making the Normal type the only type that is not {{DL|Damage modification|super effective}} against anything.
** Additionally, the Normal type is not resistant to any moves, meaning that no moves are {{DL|Damage modification|not very effective}} against any pure Normal-type Pokémon.
* No Pokémon have Normal as a secondary type.
* There are no Normal-type Pokémon with a double weakness.
* There are three Normal-type Pokémon that evolve into {{type2|Water}} Pokémon: {{p|Eevee}}, {{p|Azurill}} and {{p|Bidoof}}, with the first two losing their Normal typing completely.
* Notably, there also appears to be an association between mammal-like creatures and the Normal-type, given that many species of Normal-type Pokémon are based on terrestrial mammals, including several noted above that combine a second type with their primary Normal-type rather than merely omit it.
** Furthermore, that the Normal type could be considered the unspecialized "default" type may be evidenced by the common combination of Normal/{{t|Flying}}-type Pokémon.
* The Normal type has the fewest non-neutral type relations, with only four: Rock, Steel, Ghost, and Fighting.
* Normal type Pokémon have the highest average HP stat.
* For the purpose of the [[Purify Chamber]], Normal is considered strong against itself even though in battle it isn't.
* Generation I introduced the most Normal-type Pokémon of any Generation, with 24 and Generation V introduced the least Normal-type Pokémon, with 17.
* The Normal type is one of two types that have both never have been and will never (with the current type chart) be doubly [[Damage modification|super effective]] against any Pokémon, as it is super effective against no type. The other is the {{t|Dragon}} type, which is only super effective against itself.
** With the current [[type chart]], {{t|Poison}} also cannot deal doubly super effective damage; however, in Generation I, due to {{t|Bug}} being weak to Poison, it was super effective against Grass/Bug-type Pokémon ({{p|Paras}} and {{p|Parasect}}).

Orderly Chaos: /* The Portal */

Back to [[Appendix:Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky walkthrough/Chapter 12|Chapter 12]]

== Time to Catch Grovyle! ==

Due to the encounter at Crystal Lake, and how Dusknoir seemed to know Grovyle, it was now made every exploration teams priority to catch Grovyle. Before you can start, however, Dusknoir has a few words.

Your partner is still brooding over the fact of how Dusknoir seemed to know Grovyle, however this is soon stopped when the emergency siren suddenly goes on. Dugtrio asks Diglett what's going on, and apparently there seems to be a commotion at Treasure Town's square. The guild heads over immediately, including Azelf, who was currently recovering there.

Apparently everyone in Treasure Town is there, making it look packed. In fact, even Uxie and Mesprit are there! Azelf greets them with happiness, and Dusknoir begins his speech. The most surprising part of all this is when Dusknoir is revealed to have come to the future! Everyone gets surprised. It is also revealed that Grovyle also came from the future! Again, everyone gets surprised.

It is now everyone's priority to go and catch Grovyle.

After a few optional missions, something dark will be revealed (next section)...

== The Portal ==

After a bit of optional missions, it is revealed that there is a commotion going on in Treasure Town. You and the guild head over.
Once you arrive, you see Dusknoir and his band of Sableeye, who have captured Grovyle. Dusknoir announces that he has captured Grovyle and he intends to return to the future and bring Grovyle to justice. Everyone is shocked by his sudden departure, especially Chatot and your partner. After Grovyle is pushed into a portal by the Sableeye, Dusknoir calls you and your partner up to him. The partner tears up, telling Dusknoir how he doesn't want to say goodbye. Dusknoir smiles and says that it's too soon for goodbyes, and he grabs the player and partner and takes them into the portal to the future.

Orderly Chaos: /* Intro */

{{bad picture|article|low quality}}
[[Image:Spy Naps.png|150px|right|thumb|Naps wants to battle!]]

'''Naps''' is a {{tc|Cipher Peon}} from [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. He is the first Cipher Peon [[Michael]] fights in XD. He is the brother of [[Lovrina]], a {{tc|Cipher Admin}}. His first appearance is at the [[Pokémon HQ Lab]], where together with two other Cipher Peons, he attempts to kidnap [[Professor Krane]]. With Krane's guidance, Michael snags a [[shadow Pokémon|shadow]] {{p|Teddiursa}} from Naps. Naps and the other two Peons then escape in a truck with Krane, bound for the [[Shadow Pokémon Laboratory]]. In this battle his title is "Spy" rather than Peon. He is the only character in the games to be known as a '''Spy''' and one of the few Trainers in Orre to ever fight in a single battle.

The next time Michael runs into Naps is at the Laboratory, where Prof. Krane is trying to convince him to leave Cipher. Michael battles him in order to save Krane. After that, he tells Krane that he is still loyal to Cipher no matter what Krane says to him, and runs off.

==Trivia==
* Naps's Teddiursa is the easiest Pokémon to catch in any Pokémon game. The player is given no other choice other than tossing a Poké Ball in their battle with Naps at the Pokémon HQ Lab. Even in a situation when a player has an opportunity to catch a Pokémon with a catch rate of 255 (such as a Magikarp or a Nosepass) at full health, the odds of a regular Poké Ball succeeding in catching one is one in three.

Luminous Cave

2012-05-24T06:17:35Z

Orderly Chaos: /* Intro */

[[File:Luminous Cave.png|thumb|right|Luminous Cave]]
'''Luminous Cave''' (Japanese: '''ひかりのどうくつ''' ''Luminous Cave'') is a Mysterious Cave which appears in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]]. The cave is filled with a mysterious light that speaks to whoever enters. It is used to evolve Pokémon in the game when they enter the cave.

After the {{player}} defeats {{p|Rayquaza}} at the [[Sky Tower Summit]] and convinces it to destroy the meteor headed for Earth, a chunk of the meteor hits the round stone in [[Whiscash Pond]], creating the Luminous Cave. It is discovered by {{p|Snubbull}}, who enters and evolves into {{p|Granbull}}.

==Usage==

The cave's small size makes it so that only one Pokémon can enter. Upon entering, the player will be asked if they would like to evolve. If they accept, the cave will then ask if they would like to give an [[item]] for evolution, and if they accept this as well, whether or not they would like to give a second item. This is used to evolve Pokémon such as {{p|Shellder}} and {{p|Onix}}, who require [[Evolutionary stone#Water Stone|special]] [[Evolution-inducing held item#Metal Coat|items]] to evolve. The evolutionary item must be given for the Pokémon to be able to evolve.

If the player's lead Pokémon does not meet its evolutionary requirements, or is fully evolved, the cave will notify it and provide the reason (lacking an item, underleveled, etc.) and tell it to return later.

Additionally, the cave will take any item it is offered regardless of whether or not it is required for the player's evolution. However, it will return all items offered if the player does not meet evolutionary requirements.

The cave's equivalent in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]] is [[Luminous Spring]]. The only difference is that the player can evolve up to four Pokémon at a time.
