'''Arceus''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アルセウス''' ''Arceus'') is a {{type|Normal}} [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Arceus has a [[#Form data|form]] for each of the eighteen [[type]]s, which it can [[Type change|change into]] while holding a [[Plate]] or a type-specific [[Z-Crystal]]. Each form name is simply referred to as '''Arceus'''.

Like {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}} before it, Arceus was not officially acknowledged by [[Nintendo]] until February 14, 2009, the year of its [[M12|debut movie]]. It was later officially revealed to international audiences on August 3, 2009.

Arceus is the creator of the [[Pokémon of myth]], the [[lake guardians]], and the entire [[Pokémon universe]]. Known as the '''Original One''' (Japanese: '''そのもの''' ''Sono mono'', "the very being") in [[Sinnoh myths]], it was worshiped in ancient times by the people of [[Hisui]] under the name '''almighty [[Sinnoh]]''' (Japanese: '''シンオウ{{Ruby|様|さま}}''' ''Sinn'ō-sama'').

{{ga|Arceus}} plays a [[game mascot|central role]] in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, serving as the game's titular character and a key figure in its storyline.

==Biology==
[[File:LA Arceus Realm.png|thumb|250px|left|Arceus in [[Dimension#Arceus's realm|its realm]]]]
Arceus is a white, equine {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with an androgynous appearance. It resembles a {{wp|qilin}} or {{wp|centaur}} with a gray, vertically striated underside. The striated pattern also appears on the underside of its mane, tail, and face. Its four pointed feet are tipped with gold hooves. Its long mane juts away from its head, and its face is gray, with green eyes, red pupils, and a green circular pattern below its eyes. Arceus also has a streak of gold coloration on its head, which points upward. Its neck is fairly long, with two pairs of extrusions to the sides, and a flap-like feature on the neck's underside that is colored white like much of the body. Arceus also has a golden cross-like wheel attached to its body by its round abdomen. The wheel also has four green jewels attached to it. The pattern of striated gray of Arceus's underbelly continues past its waist. Its limbs have gray undersides and extrusions at the tops of the legs. Arceus's tail is similar to its mane in terms of shape and coloration. It is capable of flight.

[[File:Arceus ruins art.png|thumb|200px|right|Arceus recreating the {{pkmn|egg}} of one of the [[Pokémon of myth]] in the [[Sinjoh Ruins]]]]
According to [[Sinnoh]] [[Sinnoh myths|mythology]], a single [[Pokémon Egg]] emerged from a vortex of complete chaos and nothingness predating the [[Pokémon universe]]. Arceus hatched from this egg and shaped the universe using its 1,000 arms, including the Sinnoh (then known as [[Hisui]]) and [[Ransei]] [[region]]s. It also created the eggs from which the [[Pokémon of myth]], {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}, and the [[lake guardians]], {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Azelf}}, and {{p|Mesprit}}, hatched from, and can recreate these eggs if it wants to. It is the oldest Pokémon in existence; as such, it is referred to as "Original One" in folklore. Arceus banished Giratina to the [[Distortion World]] due to its violent nature, and gave the lake guardians the power to control and calm either Dialga or Palkia should they become enraged. Like the Pokémon of myth, {{ga|Arceus}} also resides in another dimension, a [[Dimension#Arceus' realm|realm beyond time and space]] itself. There, it appears as a silhouette of golden light.

Arceus was also shown to be [[Talking Pokémon|capable of speech]], stating that "Arceus" is simply the name [[human]]s call it. The ancient Sinnoh people worshipped it, referring to it as "almighty Sinnoh," "great Sinnoh," and "might of Sinnoh," with the term "Sinnoh" later on becoming the name of the region. The [[Diamond Clan]] and [[Pearl Clan]] also worshipped it, though they mistook {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} respectively for Arceus. Both Palkia and Dialga's {{form|Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina|Origin Formes}} have body shapes similar to that of Arceus; this resemblance is believed to be a strategy in order to gain Arceus' powers. [[Professor Laventon]] describes Arceus as "the heavenly fount from which pours the light that shines across Hisui" and the protector of all Pokémon. In ancient myths, it is said that the [[Origin Ore]], an ore of mysterious power, contains the power of Arceus itself.

As shown in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', Arceus was known to care for and safeguard the planet in ancient times, protecting the world from cataclysms such as meteors, and it would show gratitude and compassion to those who treated it with kindness. At the same time, Arceus does not suffer fools gladly; it will attack in a violent rampage if betrayed or deceived and holds long grudges if betrayed by those it considered friends. In modern times, Arceus continues to watch over the world and wishes for people and Pokémon to work together in the face of adversity. Even when it is needed, it only gives hints on how to solve problems instead of directly interfering. Arceus can also give its blessing to other Pokémon through bolts of light, making them bigger and more powerful, as seen with the [[ancient hero]]'s 10 Pokémon companions. This blessing is passed down through family lines, as seen with the descendants of the hero's Pokémon: the [[noble Pokémon]] and {{hi|ride Pokémon}} worshiped by the people of [[Hisui]].

In ''Arceus and the Jewel of Life'', Arceus is portrayed as having powers such as bringing back things that it once destroyed, making certain things vanish into thin air, halting time, and overturning the very laws of nature. In said movie, using its [[Earth Plate|Earth]], [[Splash Plate|Splash]], [[Meadow Plate|Meadow]], [[Zap Plate|Zap]], and [[Draco Plate|Draco Plates]], it created the [[Jewel of Life]], a powerful artifact capable of turning a [[Michina Town|desolate land]] into a rich and fertile one. In ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', it was shown to be able to stop the destruction caused by a space-time void. As shown in the {{aniseries|JN}} episode ''[[JN090|Showdown at the Gates of Warp!]]'', Arceus has the power to not only calm Dialga and Palkia, but also destroy the [[Red Chain]] controlling them. Arceus also has the power to split in two, creating a piece of itself to exist outside of its realm. In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Arceus transformed a normal smartphone into an [[Arc Phone]], a device that allows humans to communicate with it through text messages. Arceus also has the power to appear in dreams and create a variety of Pokémon to serve as challenges, as seen in [[Eternal Battle Reverie]]. In {{g|Masters EX}}, through the [[sync stone ultimate]], Arceus can give its blessing to a [[Pokémon Trainer]] it deems worthy, transforming their outfits into costumes known as [[arc suit]]s. As a result, their [[sync pair]] is blessed as well, granting them a {{DL|Sync move|Divine moves|divine move}} over their normal [[sync move]].

Arceus is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Judgment}}. It is also able to use charged-up versions of the Pokémon of myth's signature moves ({{m|Roar of Time}}, {{m|Spacial Rend}} and {{m|Shadow Force}}), as seen in its boss battle in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Additionally, Arceus is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Multitype}} as an [[Ability]].

===Forms===
Arceus has eighteen different forms, one for each [[type]].

Through its Multitype Ability, Arceus can change its type at will by holding one of its [[Plate]]s or a type-specific [[Z-Crystal]]. This causes its eyes, underbelly, face, hooves, snout, gems, and cross-like wheel to change color to match its current type. In ''Arceus and the Jewel of Life'', it is also said to feed off the energy of its Plates.

In [[Alola]], the [[Aether Foundation]] gathered Arceus's data from myths and legends told in [[Canalave City]]'s [[Canalave Library|library]] to create an [[artificial Pokémon]] who was initially named {{p|Type: Null|Type: Full}}. Equipped with the {{a|RKS System}}, an Ability that allows it to simulate Arceus's Multitype through [[Memory|memories]], it was developed during the [[Beast killer project]] to protect Alola from the [[Ultra Beast]]s. However, the project was deemed a failure and was later abandoned, and Type: Full's Ability was sealed with a control helmet, which caused it to [[Devolution|devolve]] and be renamed Type: Null. [[Gladion]] eventually discovered it and renamed it {{p|Silvally}}, with their newfound bond allowing it to reawaken its dormant powers.

* {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}: Arceus appears when [[Dark Matter]] begins trying to take the [[Tree of Life]] to the sun, leading the other Pokémon in attempting to stop its ascent. He is able to telepathically reach the player thanks to {{p|Mewtwo}} and transports them to the [[Tree of Life: Roots|Tree of Life's roots]] to confront Dark Matter. When Dark Matter regenerates itself and sends out a massive shockwave, Arceus and the other [[Legendary Pokémon]] gathered to stop the Tree of Life are immediately turned to stone.

* {{g|Masters EX}}: While not physically seen, Arceus plays a notable role during the eponymously named [[Arceus arc]] as the creator of [[sync stone ultimate|sync stones ultimate]]. Asking the people of [[Pasio]] to demonstrate their bond with their Pokémon to it, Arceus grants [[sync pair]]s holding sync stones ultimate new costumes dubbed [[arc suit]]s if the aforementioned bond is strong enough.

===Form data===
Arceus has multiple different forms that it switches between with its [[Ability]] {{a|Multitype}}, with each of its forms having a different [[type]]. In total, it has eighteen different forms, one for each type. Though most of its forms were introduced in [[Generation IV]], its {{type|Fairy}} form was introduced in [[Generation VI]], along with the Fairy-type as a whole.

By default, Arceus is in its {{type|Normal}} form. If it [[held item|hold]]s (or, in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, is exposed to) a [[Plate]] or type-specific [[Z-Crystal]], it changes its form to be the same type as the type the Plate or Z-Crystal corresponds to.

In games besides {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Arceus's [[signature move]] {{m|Judgment}} is Normal-type by default, but changes to match the type of the Plate that it holds (being unaffected by Z-Crystals). In Legends: Arceus, the type of Judgment is directly determined by Arceus's form, such that its type always matches that of Arceus; additionally, Arceus can change its form during a {{pkmn|battle}} using the [[Legend Plate]]. After being exposed to the Legend Plate, it will be in its Normal-type form by default and change its form before using {{m|Judgment}} to have a type advantage over the target, which also changes Judgment's type to match Arceus's. When determining the type that it changes into, any double weaknesses that the target may have are prioritized, followed by a type that resists the target's primary type (prioritizing immunities), then a type that resists the target's secondary type (again prioritizing immunities); if multiple types are equally valid, one of them is chosen at random. Arceus reverts to its Normal-type form when the battle ends. Arceus has a unique form change animation when using the Legend Plate, which shows it being enveloped in light from a Plate to change its form. If Arceus is deposited into {{g|HOME}} while in any of its alternate forms, it reverts to its Normal-type form; if it is under the effects of the Legend Plate when deposited into HOME, these effects wear off.

In addition to its changing type, Arceus's [[Pokéathlon]] performance differs depending on its form, and it can only learn {{m|Draco Meteor}} from a [[Move Tutor]] while in its {{type|Dragon}} form (though it can learn it via [[TM]] in any form).

[[File:493-Unknown.png|thumb|???-type Arceus sprite]]
In the [[Generation IV]] games, there is an unused {{type|???}} Arceus, but it cannot be legitimately obtained in the games, as there is no ???-type Plate. Due to how its Ability would automatically turn any Arceus without a Plate into a Normal-type Pokémon in Generation IV, a ???-type Arceus [[cheating|hacked]] into the game will be treated as Normal-type. This form was removed in [[Generation V]] due to the removal of the ??? type.

Prior to {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Arceus's alternate forms were not registered separately in the [[Pokédex]]. All of its forms are named simply "Arceus" in the Pokédex.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)]], Arceus will be present in its Water, Electric or Fire-type form, depending on the game, as Plates do not exist. In [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], only its Normal-type form is available, with Multitype serving a different function.

==In animation==
[[File:Arceus M12.png|thumb|250px|Arceus in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'']]
===Main series===
====Major appearances====
=====[[Arceus (M12)]]=====
Arceus debuted in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. It was angry at the people of [[Michina Town]] for [[Damos]]'s unwitting betrayal of it in ancient times, and so it attempted to destroy the world. When {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, and [[Sheena]] were teleported by {{mov|Dialga}} to ancient times, they directly influenced the event, changing the future for the better so that Arceus would stop its destruction.

=====Other=====
Arceus appeared in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''. Following the devastating incident at [[Dahara City]], Ash, his friends, [[Baraz]], [[Meray]], and {{an|Hoopa}} saw it floating in the sky before it soared away.

Arceus appeared in [[Pokémon: The Arceus Chronicles]], where it and the {{an|lake guardians}} assisted Ash and his friends in stopping a rampaging {{p|Heatran}} that had engulfed the [[Flame Plate]] acquired by Team Galactic with its {{a|Flash Fire}} [[Ability]].

====Minor appearances====
Arceus made its animated series debut as a silhouette in ''[[JN090|Showdown at the Gates of Warp!]]''. It was called upon by Ash, his friends, their [[Pokémon multiverse#Pokémon Journeys: The Series|alternate world]] counterparts, and the people in both of their worlds to help stop {{OBP|Dialga|recurring}} and {{OBP|Palkia|recurring}}'s fight and destroy the [[Red Chain]] that was forcing them to battle.

==In the manga==
[[File:Arceus Adventures.png|thumb|200px|left|Arceus in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
[[File:Arceus Multitype Adventures.png|thumb|Arceus's various forms in Pokémon Adventures]]
===Movie adaptations===
Arceus appears as a central character in the {{ma|Arceus and the Jewel of Life}} manga adaptation, reprising its role from the {{pkmn|movie}}. After Arceus saved the world from a meteor, [[Damos]] took care of it. It gave Damos the [[Jewel of Life]] to make the land of [[Michina Town]] rich and fertile. Damos then "betrayed" Arceus, and it has been outraged ever since.

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Arceus (Adventures)}}
In the {{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, Arceus appears as one of the main antagonists, where it plans on destroying humanity due to its mistrust of humans. It was the target of [[Team Rocket]]'s plans to create {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}. It first appeared in ''[[PS450|With a Little Help From Hitmonchan]]''.
{{-}}

==In the TCG==
{{main|Arceus (TCG)}}
Arceus appears in the TCG in all {{TCG|type}}s but {{TCG|Fairy}}. Cards based on Arceus first appeared in the {{TCG|Platinum: Arceus|Arceus}} expansion set, which were printed with a rule that allows players to have as many Arceus cards in their deck as they like.

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
[[File:Arceus 3DS trophy SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Arceus trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'']]
Arceus appears as a {{i|Poké Ball}} summon where it uses {{m|Gravity}} to produce a shockwave that brings opponents downwards.

====Trophy information====
Arceus appears as a trophy in both versions.

''[[Sinnoh myths#The Original Story|A Pokémon said to have hatched from an egg that appeared from nothing. Newly hatched, it created the world and the sky.]] Its Gravity attack will bring any fighter in midair crashing down to earth. No ground below you? Looks like you're going to go plummeting off the stage as if you'd been hit by a Meteor Smash! ''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Arceus appears as a Pokémon summoned from the Poké Ball, retaining its behavior from the previous game. It also appears as a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}}.

==Trivia==

* Arceus was designed by [[Takao Unno]].<ref>Creator profile on Takao Unno in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Illustration Collection]], p. 182: "He has created the designs for Garchomp, Croagunk, Arceus and others." ([https://twitter.com/Lewchube/status/1581735619637948416 archive])</ref>
* Arceus has the highest base stat total of all Normal-type {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and the highest base stat total of any Pokémon in its base form.
** Arceus has the highest base stat total of all Mythical Pokémon.
** In its alternate forms, Arceus has the highest base stat total of all Rock, Bug, Ghost, Steel, Grass, Electric, Ice, Dark, and Fairy-type Pokémon.
** Arceus is the [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|only Pokémon]] with a base stat total of 720.
* In its alternate forms, Arceus is the [[List of Pokémon by height|tallest]] {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon, tied with {{p|Slither Wing}} as the tallest {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon, and tied with Slither Wing and {{me|Scolipede}} as the tallest {{type|Bug}} Pokémon.
* Arceus's {{type|Flying}} form is the first Pokémon to be pure Flying-type, making the type the last one to have a single-type Pokémon. {{p|Tornadus}} would later be introduced as the first Pokémon to be pure Flying-type in its default form.
** Due to being a pure Flying-type, Flying-type Arceus and Tornadus are the only Pokémon that can have the Flying-type backdrop in the [[Hall of Fame]] after defeating the {{un|Pokémon League}} in {{2v2|Black|White}} and {{2v2|Black|White|2}}. This backdrop will always reflect the Pokémon's primary type, but all half-Flying-type Pokémon had Flying as their secondary type prior to [[Generation VI]].
* In [[Generation IV]], it was impossible to legitimately give Arceus more than 100 [[EV]]s in any stat, since it was only ever distributed at [[level]] 100. Prior to Generation V, level 100 Pokémon could not gain EVs through battling because they could not gain [[experience]].
* Arceus is the only pre-[[Generation V]] Pokémon to never officially receive a [[List of Pokémon by Diamond & Pearl Battle Pokédex number|DPBP number]]. {{p|Kadabra}}, which was not released as a TCG card during the DPBP era, is assumed to be #070, as {{p|Abra}} and {{p|Alakazam}} are #069 and #071, respectively.
* Arceus received the most votes of all pre-Generation V Pokémon in the {{g|Global Link}} [[List of Pokémon Global Link promotions/Pokémon#Arceus|promotion]] poll in both the Japanese poll and the international (non-Japanese and non-Korean) poll.
* Prior to [[Generation VII]], Arceus was classified by Pokédex color sorting as gray.
* In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, Arceus can be encountered without the use of the [[Azure Flute]] via a combination of [[Tweaking]] and the [[Pal Park Retire glitch]]. In addition, Arceus can be encountered an unlimited amount of times with this method, unlike {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}}.
** This has been remedied in {{game|Platinum}}, however, as the player can no longer freely move in the "void".
* Arceus is the first [[Mythical Pokémon]] to be obtainable in-game in the core series without an event more than once.
* According to the {{pkmn|animated series}} [[dub]]'s then-voice director [[Tom Wayland]], the dub chose to pronounce Arceus with {{wp|Hard and soft C|a hard c instead of a soft c}} due to concerns over the latter pronunciation's potential {{wp|arse|implications}} in British English-speaking territories.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EuH-5Fv87g&t=2084s Convention Q&A panel with Tom Wayland]</ref>
** This pronunciation is also reflected in the name of the [[Ability]] RKS System.
[[File:Space Globe artwork S.png|thumb|150px|Space Globe]]
[[File:Company Icon RKS Laboratories.png|thumb|150px|Icon for RKS Laboratories]]
* Ever since Arceus's debut, certain aspects of the Pokémon series have made use of its iconography.
** In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]], the [[Space Globe]] (Japanese: じくうのオーブ ''Space-Time Orb'') is an item that is described as the ultimate globe that holds the power to pass through space and time. It resembles Arceus's attached wheel and can be found on a statue of Arceus.
** According to {{p|Type: Null}} and {{p|Silvally}}’s [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]], Arceus served as the inspiration for the {{a|RKS System}}, which is Silvally’s [[signature Ability]]. It allows Silvally to change its [[type]] when holding a [[Memory]] of any kind, which is similar to how Arceus’s {{a|Multitype}} allows Arceus to change type when holding a [[Plate]] or a type-specific [[Z-Crystal]].
*** Arceus and Silvally have similar {{Shiny}} colorations, swapping their usual white to a light gold.
** The name of the Ability RKS System is a reference to Arceus, with its English name being similar to the pronunciation of "Arceus". In {{pmin|Germany|German}}, {{pmin|Spain|Spanish}}, {{pmin|France|French}}, and {{pmin|Italy|Italian}}, its name is instead a reference to Arceus's {{pkmn|category}}, the Alpha Pokémon.
*** The company {{DL|Poké Job|List of companies|RKS Laboratories}} (Japanese: アルセウス{{ruby|製薬|せいやく}} ''Arceus Pharma'') in [[Galar]] has a logo similar to the rings on Arceus's body, furthering the connection.
* Despite being a [[Mythical Pokémon]], Arceus has sometimes been [[Terminology of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|treated]] as a [[Legendary Pokémon]].
** In {{g|Masters EX}}, Arceus is called a Legendary Pokémon by {{mas|Norman}} in the "Challenge the Normal Types" [[Daily Type Rotation]] event and by {{mas|Misty}} in her arc suit in one of her random conversations in the Pokémon Center.
** The official English website of {{g|Legends: Arceus}} used to refer to Arceus as a Legendary Pokémon, which was later corrected to Mythical Pokémon as of September 28, 2021.<ref>Archive of [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] official website ([https://web.archive.org/web/20210818132639/https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/ August 18, 2021]; [https://web.archive.org/web/20210928190642/https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/ September 28, 2021])</ref> On the Japanese website, it has been referred to as a Mythical Pokémon from the beginning.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/legends_arceus/ja/pokemon/210818_08/ Pokémon LEGENDS アルセウス]</ref>
* While using the [[Legend Plate]], Arceus will never transform back into the [[Normal (type)|Normal-type]], as nothing is weak to Normal.
* Arceus is the only Pokémon to narrate the introduction for a [[core series]] game.
* In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Arceus's summary will say it was met at the [[Temple of Sinnoh]], despite being fought and obtained in the [[Hall of Origin]].
* Arceus was the only Pokémon first introduced during the DPt era of the Japanese [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. In the international TCG, Arceus and [[Shaymin (TCG)|Shaymin]] were both introduced in the Platinum series. 
* The [[origin mark]] for Legends: Arceus [[File:Arceus mark.png|30px]] and the symbols for the {{TCG|Platinum: Arceus|Arceus}} expansion [[File:SetSymbolArceus.png|30px]] and the {{TCG|Brilliant Stars}} expansion [[File:SetSymbolBrilliant Stars.png|30px]] resemble Arceus's rings.
* Arceus's {{Type|Fairy}} form is the only Pokémon introduced after [[Generation IV]] to exist in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}.
* In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Arceus is the only Pokémon that can be registered in the player's [[Pokédex]] and have a [[Research task (Legends: Arceus)#Research level|research level]] of 0 at the same time.

===Origin===
Arceus appears to be particularly based on a {{wp|creator deity}}, present in many world cultures. Arceus also appears to draw significant inspiration from {{wp|Classical Greece}}, evident in the (putative) onomastic nod to {{wp|Zeus}}, ruler of Mount Olympus; in the ancient Greek style settings that frequently frame its epiphanies, such as rows of classical columns, stepped stone platforms, and straight processional approaches typical of Greek sanctuaries; and in the Classical Greek styling favored by Arceus devotees such as [[Volo]], with tunic-like layering and a {{wp|himation}}-like draped cloak. Its cosmogonic emergence “from an egg” resonates with the {{wp|Orphic Egg}} and the birth of {{wp|Phanes|Phanes/Protogonos}}, as well as the broader {{wp|World egg}} motif found across numerous creation myths. The gold, cross-spoked ring fused around a white, near-abstract body operates as a built-in nimbus or solar crown in the manner of {{wp|Helios}} or a stylized {{wp|Halo (religious iconography)|halo}}, a widespread religious icon used to denote holy, divine, or sacred figures and, at various periods, rulers, heroes, and saints. The triadic delegation of domains (time, space, distortion) parallels the classical division of realms among Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades, while Giratina’s banishment functions as a {{wp|Tartarus|Tartarean}} containment of rebellious force.

Based on its appearance and attack animations, Arceus may be modeled on a variety of animals, such as members of {{wp|Equidae}}, {{wp|Camelidae}}, or {{wp|Giraffidae}}, and/or fantastical beings, such as the {{wp|Centaurs}}, the {{wp|Sleipnir}}, the {{wp|Qilin}}, the {{wp|Uchchaihshravas}} or the {{wp|Longma}}. The [[Pokédex]] entry that states Arceus shaped the world with its multiple arms may also reference or be inspired by the many-armed {{wp|Bodhisattva}} {{wp|Avalokiteśvara}} in {{wp|Buddhism}} or by the many-armed {{wp|Hecatoncheires}} of {{wp|Greek mythology}}.

====Name origin====
Arceus may be a combination of {{wp|wiktionary:ἀρχή|ἀρχή}} ''{{wp|First_principle#Ancient_Greek_philosophy|ărkhḗ}}'' (Ancient Greek for "origin" and "dominion") and ''{{wp|Zeus}}'' (supreme deity of the Greek pantheon who rules as the king of gods in {{wp|Mount Olympia}}) where the former is {{wp|cognate}} with the prefix ''{{wp|wiktionary:arch-|arch-}}'' (indicating "chief" or "extreme") and the latter is a cognate with ''{{wp|wiktionary:deus#Latin|deus}}'' (Latin for "deity"). It may also involve ''{{wp|alpha}}'' (first letter of the Greek alphabet; English name of this Pokémon's [[Pokémon category|category]]), ''arcane'' (esoteric), ''{{wp|wiktionary:aureus#Latin|aureus}}'' (Latin for "golden"), ''{{wp|arc}}'' (part of a circle; curve), ''{{wp|wiktionary:arcesso|arcessō}}'' (Latin for "I summon"), ''{{wp|Archeus}}'' (an aspect of the astral plane), or ''{{wp|Chaos (cosmogony)|Chaos}}'' (origin state of the universe in Greek mythology that is often personified as the first primordial deity).

List of Pokémon with form differences

2026-06-08T21:11:44Z

OwlsTalon: /* {{p|Smeargle}} */

{{TOC right}}
Some {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} have major [[Variant Pokémon|variations]] between individuals, known as '''[[form]]s'''. These variations all have differing appearances and are recognized by the [[Pokédex]]. The process of form change allows some Pokémon to change between their different forms, such as with {{p|Castform}}, while other Pokémon have forms that they cannot change between, such as {{p|Unown}}. Other types of form differences include [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]], [[regional form]]s, [[Mega Evolution]]s, and [[Gigantamax]] forms.

==Overview==
[[File:Mystri Stage artwork.png|thumb|left|250px|Various forms of {{p|Unown}}]]
Form differences were introduced in [[Generation II]], in which Unown was the only Pokémon to have them. All subsequent [[generation]]s have introduced multiple Pokémon with form differences. Pokémon able to change between their forms were first introduced in [[Generation III]].

At times, these differences are purely cosmetic and have no bearing on the Pokémon's attributes besides its appearance; however, several Pokémon differ in [[stat]]s, [[type]], [[Ability]], [[move]]s they can learn, etc., depending on their form. Among these are several {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]], whose alternate forms are usually named using the French word "Forme" instead.

Starting in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, every official different form has a name given by the [[Pokédex]], though {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Genesect}}, and {{p|Furfrou}}'s alternate forms were not recognized separately in the Pokédex until {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. In [[Generation II|Generations II]], {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|IV}}, whichever form is encountered first will be the sprite displayed in the Pokédex by default; for example, if West Sea {{p|Shellos}} was encountered first, its sprite will appear in the Pokédex by default, whereas if East Sea Shellos was encountered first, its sprite will. In Generation II, the Pokédex has a separate [[Unown Mode]] to show the forms of Unown. In Generation IV, the "forms" section was added to the individual entries of each Pokémon, showing form differences that have been encountered, as well as [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]]. In [[Generation V]], the forms section returns and displays [[Shiny Pokémon]] as separate forms (if they have been encountered); additionally, the sprite displayed in the Pokédex can be changed using the forms section. In {{game|Black and White|s}}, the forms section is only available after interacting with [[Cedric Juniper]] in [[Mistralton City]], while in {{B2W2}}, it is available from the start. Starting in [[Generation VII]], the Pokédex does not have a separate forms section; instead, a Pokémon's forms (including Shiny forms and gender differences) that have been encountered can be switched between in the Pokémon's entry, and this changes the image shown in the Pokédex. In [[Generation IX]], {{g|Pokopia}} became the first [[spin-off game]] with a unique Pokédex that introduced new forms, not previously associated with the core series.

Additionally, there exist form-like transformations and technical forms that are not recognized by the Pokédex, but otherwise appear or behave like unique forms or are treated as such in game code.

Koraidon and Miraidon can enter one of three different forms when they travel the [[Paldea]] region and two forms based on how much power they have. They can change their forms to better suit what they are doing or what terrain they are traveling over.

The Apex Build and Ultimate Mode forms are included in the Pokédex; The Limited Build and Low-Power Mode have Pokédex entries which go unused in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. The other forms do not appear in the Pokédex nor have Pokédex data beyond height and weight (which contain identical data to the Apex Build or Ultimate Mode).

In addition to the {{fd|Rotom|forms}} of Rotom that are directly obtainable by the player, Rotom has other appearances that it takes when assuming other appliances. These appearances do not have battle capabilities and are not obtainable by the player, instead they usually function as [[non-player character]]s or [[Key Item]]s.

Out of these appearances, only the Rotom Dex has been considered a form, being called as such in the Japanese version of the [[Pokémon animated series]]. While the Rotom Bike is considered an extension of the Rotom Phone{{sup/8|SwSh}}.

Many Pokémon have transformations and changes to them that appear similar to those of a form change or form-like transformation.

The [[guardian deities]] have a unique [[Z-Move]] that no other species can use. During this Move, the tapu will make use of [[Alola]]'s own energy in the form of [[Z-Power]], allowing their tiki-like shell to be used as a head of a yellow giant, complete with arms and legs.

Nihilego is an [[Ultra Beast]] who is capable of physically merging with its host. It usually grasps onto the host's head, draining their energy and making them hostile. Due to unknown circumstances, [[Aether Paradise|Aether President]] [[Lusamine]] had been able to undergo a fusion with the UB, causing Nihilego to take on a drastically unique appearance. Lusamine's body had also changed with her body visible within Nihilego's bell and her legs dangling beneath it. This form has no known name, however [[Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon The Alola Region Artworks|The Alola Region Artworks]] directs it under Lusamine's concept art, simply labeling it as '''ルザミーネ (ウツロイド) ''' ''Lusamine (Uturoid)'' or translated as: ''Lusamine (Nihilego)''. The internal name is known as '''MOTHERBEAST''', using a combination of Lusamine's internal name '''MOTHER''', and the Ultra Beast internal name, '''BEAST'''.

==In other games==
===Pokémon Shuffle===
{{main|List of Pokémon by Pokémon Shuffle list number}}
In [[Pokémon Shuffle]], Pokémon with different forms have different {{OBP|Skill|Shuffle}}s and can have different Attack Powers and max levels.

Most Pokémon with forms in the core series games also have those forms in Pokémon Shuffle. Many Pokémon have a "Winking" form, notably including most of the first partner Pokémon. There are also a few Pokémon with a "Spooky" or "Holiday" form. Pikachu has a large variety of forms, mostly unique to Pokémon Shuffle.

===Pokémon GO===
{{main|List of Pokémon with form differences in Pokémon GO}}
The majority of Pokémon in [[Pokémon GO]] have their forms determined at the time of capture and impossible to change, with the exceptions of {{p|Shaymin}}, {{p|Kyurem}}, {{p|Furfrou}}, {{p|Hoopa}}, {{p|Zygarde}}, {{p|Necrozma}}, {{p|Morpeko}}, {{p|Zacian}}, and {{p|Zamazenta}}. Although every species has one [[Pokédex]] entry each, a Pokémon is considered different from any of its alternate forms; this means that even if a player has one form of the Pokémon species registered in the Pokédex, an alternate form will still appear as a silhouette in the Nearby screen, and receiving one in a [[trade]] will be considered a Special Trade.

==Trivia==
* As of [[Generation IX]], three Pokémon have form differences introduced in the [[core series]] that remain unobtainable. These are:
** {{type|???}} {{p|Arceus}}, which only existed in the code for the [[Generation IV]] games and is unavailable without hacking.
** [[Eternamax]] {{p|Eternatus}}, which is only seen in the climax of {{g|Sword and Shield}} and when Eternatus uses {{m|Eternabeam}}.
** {{p|Revavroom}}'s [[Starmobile]] forms, which are only seen being used by the bosses of [[Team Star]].
* Some of the Pokémon with form differences have unique distinctions:
** {{p|Darmanitan}} and {{p|Tauros}} are the only Pokémon whose [[regional form]]s have further form differences.
** {{p|Hoopa}} is the only Mythical Pokémon whose form change outright alters the base stat total, rather than re-distributing them.
** {{p|Urshifu}} is the only Pokémon whose [[Gigantamax]] form has form differences.
*** Although {{p|Toxtricity}} and {{p|Alcremie}} have multiple alternate forms, they each have only one Gigantamax form.
** {{p|Gimmighoul}} is the only Pokemon with multiple forms that have no bearing on the Pokémon/form of the Pokemon they evolve into.
*** As a technicality, male Burmy may also fall under this unique distinction. As regardless of form, male Burmy will always evolve into Mothim. Burmy's form only dictates the outcome of Wormadam, exclusive to the Burmy who are female.
** {{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}} have the highest number of forms that are obtainable in some capacity yet unusable in battle, as they each use three forms solely for travel and are obtained in their fourth "low-power" forms, yet can only battle in their "high-power" forms.
*** {{p|Rotom}} has five forms that are unusable in battle ([[Rotom Pokédex|Pokédex]], [[Rotom Phone|Phone]], [[Rotom Bike|Bike]], [[Rotomi]], [[Drone Rotom|Drone]]), but Rotomi and Drone Rotom are completely unobtainable.
* In {{g|Emerald}}, most Pokémon sprite animations have two frames. However, the three Pokémon in the game with form differences ({{p|Unown}}, {{p|Castform}}, and {{p|Deoxys}}) have only one frame for each of their forms, relying solely on rotation and bouncing effects for their animations, possibly due to space limitations. The same applies to {{p|Spinda}}, a Pokémon with differing appearances that are not classified as forms.

'''Blaziken''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''バシャーモ''' ''Bursyamo'') is a [[Type|dual-type]] {{2t|Fire|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

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

Blaziken can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Blaziken''' using the [[Blazikenite]].

==Biology==
[[File:257Blaziken Dream 2.png|thumb|left|200px|Blaziken firing up its wrist flames]]
Blaziken is a bipedal, chicken-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The majority of Blaziken's body is red with accents of beige, yellow, and gray. Behind its head, there are beige, hair-like feathers that continue downward and surround its chest and abdomen. It has a small red face with a V-shaped crest on its head. Blaziken's blue eyes are semicircular with yellow sclerae, and its mouth is similar to a hooked beak. It has featherless, gray hands with three fingers each, and three clawed toes that are not normally visible due to the shaggy, yellow feathers on the bottom of its legs. A female has a shorter mask and hair than a male.

Blaziken has a courageous personality. Blaziken has strong, muscular legs that give it great lower body strength. This lower body strength helps its kicking and jumping abilities. Its jumps are powerful enough to jump over a 30-story building in a single leap. Blaziken's wrists have gray wristband-like markings capable of producing a tuft of fire above them. Blaziken can also make flames spout from its ankles. This allows it to cloak its feet or fists, and it uses these abilities while practicing a form of {{wp |martial art}}. Its flames burn more intensely when it faces stronger opponents.

The blazing punches of Blaziken can leave its foes scorched and blackened. Every several years, its old feathers burn off, and new, supple feathers grow back in their place. While Blaziken is rarely found in the wild, it is known to inhabit {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}. As mentioned in [[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]], Blaziken will occasionally blow out flames and throw powerful kicks while it slumbers. It's believed to be because Blaziken couldn't get enough battling while it was awake.

In [[Generation III]], {{m|Blaze Kick}} was its [[signature move]].
===Forms===
[[File:Mega Blaziken XY concept art.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Concept art of Mega Blaziken for {{g|X and Y}}]]
Blaziken can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Blaziken.

As Mega Blaziken, it loses its yellow markings and gains black markings on its upper legs and chest. Its hair-like feathers take on a wing-like shape and point upward, and the portion around its chest is rough around its shoulders. The crest on its head changes into a flat horn that curves backward. The fire it creates on its wrists is now longer.

When Blaziken Mega Evolves into Mega Blaziken, it further hones the power of its kicks, always a source of pride to it. As it unleashes a flurry of savage kicks, its legs can begin to burn from the friction of the surrounding atmosphere. According to the [[Mega Evolution Pokédex Short]], as Mega Blaziken's body temperature increases, its power and speed continue to ramp up.<ref name="Mega">[https://web.archive.org/web/20150202050257/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/starter-pokemon/starter-pokemon Starter Pokémon]</ref>Boiling-hot blood flows through Mega Blaziken's body, enhancing the sharpness of its moves. Its increased speed allows it to subdue opponents instantly.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Blaziken appears as a trophy.
====Trophy information====
''"A Blaze Pokémon. When up against a tough opponent, it fights a spirited battle and shoots white-hot flames from its wrists. The stronger the foe, the more intense the flames from its wrists. Blaziken also uses a combination of punches and kicks to leave targets in scorched ruin, and its strong legs allow it to easily leap over 30-story buildings."''

===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]===

Blaziken appears in the background of the {{st|Kalos Pokémon League}} stage when the stage is in the {{DL|Pokémon League (Kalos)|Blazing Chamber}}. It appears in the Blazing Chamber along with other {{type|Fire}} Pokémon, namely {{p|Infernape}}, {{p|Tepig}}, and {{p|Pyroar}}. There are trophies of both Blaziken and Mega Blaziken.

====Trophy information====
=====Blaziken=====
'''NA''': ''Blaziken would be the perfect star for an intense, action-packed movie. Its fiery fists pack a serious punch, and it has no problem leaping over 30-story buildings. We'd save so much on the special effects! All we need is a good name... How about Fired Up! Better yet, Fired Up 3! That way it sounds like it's already a popular series!''

'''PAL''': ''We should make an action film starring Blaziken. With its fiery fists and ability to spring over 30-storey buildings effortlessly, we'd save a ton of money on CGI! Let's call it... Red Renegade! Or, better yet, Red Renegade 3 - then people will think it's part of a popular series!''

=====Mega Blaziken=====
'''NA''': ''If you find yourself in possession of a Blazikenite, you can use it to Mega Evolve Blaziken into Mega Blaziken. This Pokémon is clearly ready for a fight. This Mega Evolution has polished its attacks and is awaiting a worthy opponent. The Blaze Kick it can unleash will leave its foes charred. Mega Blaziken has what it takes to become a fighting champ!''

'''PAL''': ''If you're lucky enough to get your hands on a rare Blazikenite stone, your Blaziken can Mega Evolve into this magnificent Pokémon. Ablaze with fighting spirit, Mega Blaziken has honed its skills to the highest possible degree. With its Blaze Kick, it can deliver a fierce impact that will leave opponents charred!''

==Trivia==
[[File:Latias Blaziken.jpg|150px|thumb|Pre-alpha sketch of the unused Pokémon]]
[[File:Torchic Beta.jpg|150px|thumb|Pre-alpha sketch of Torchic]]
* Blaziken is the only Pokémon in the final stage of a [[first partner Pokémon]] in the [[core series]] to {{DL|Core series|Pokémon|appear in the animated series before its debut generation}}.
* [[Media:Latias Blaziken.jpg|A pre-alpha sketch]] depicts an [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs|unused Pokémon]] with the traits of both Blaziken and {{p|Latias}}. Likewise, Mega Blaziken's ears appear similar to those in a pre-alpha sketch of Torchic.
* Blaziken and its pre-evolved forms are the only evolutionary line of a first partner Pokémon in which all members have a [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender difference]].
* Mega Blaziken is the only Mega-Evolved Pokémon officially introduced in {{g|X and Y}} that is not native to [[Kalos]].
** Additionally, it is the first Mega-Evolved Pokémon obtainable through an [[event]].

===Concept and development===
Blaziken was designed by [[Ken Sugimori]], and is among the first [[Hoenn]] Pokémon to be designed.<ref name=ND84>''Nintendo Dream'' Volume 84, February/March 2003 ([http://lavacutcontent.com/sugimori-masuda-gen-3-interview/ English translation] written by Jacob Newcomb and commissioned by Dr. Lava)</ref>

===Origin===
Blaziken is based on a {{wp|chicken}}<ref name=ND84>''Nintendo Dream'' Volume 84, February/March 2003 ([http://lavacutcontent.com/sugimori-masuda-gen-3-interview/ English translation] written by Jacob Newcomb and commissioned by Dr. Lava)</ref>, possibly the {{wp|Shamo chickens|Shamo chicken}}. The feathery legs resemble those of a {{wp|Cochin chicken}}. It bears resemblance to {{wp|Horus}} and {{wp|Ra}}, two anthropomorphic ancient Egyptian deities with falcon heads. Blaziken may also be based on the {{wp|Basan (legendary bird)|basan}}, a legendary fire-breathing chicken of Japanese folklore, or possibly the ''{{wp|karura}}''. It may also be based on the mythical {{wp|Phoenix (mythology)|phoenix}}, as its feathers burn off every few years. It may also draw inspiration from the ''{{jwp|天狗火#松明丸|taimatsu-maru}}'', creatures that resembled raptors or ''{{wp|tengu}}'' and trailed flames.

Its {{t|Fighting}} type and human-like body type may draw inspiration from {{wp|Muay Thai}} fighters, since Blaziken's official artwork depicts a typical {{wp|Knee (strike)#Flying|flying knee}} and Mega Blaziken's stance portrays a {{wp|Muay Thai#Defences in practice|check}}.

====Name origin====
Blaziken may be a combination of ''blaze'' and ''{{wp|chicken}}''.

Bursyamo may be a combination of ''burn'' or ''burst'' and 軍鶏 ''{{wp|Shamo (chicken)|shamo}}''.

'''Blue Oak''' (Japanese: '''グリーン''' ''Green'') is the [[rival]] of the {{player}} in the [[Generation I]] games, as well as in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, their [[Generation III]] [[remake]]s. By the end of the main game in these games, he also becomes the [[Pokémon Champion]] of the [[Indigo Plateau]].

Sometime during the three years between the plotline of the Generation I games, Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, and the events of the [[Generation II]] games and their remakes, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, as well as during the events of [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Blue takes the place of [[Giovanni]] as the [[Viridian City]] [[Gym Leader]], as Giovanni had disappeared after he disbanded [[Team Rocket]]. Blue does not specialize in a particular type of Pokémon and, like Giovanni before him, he gives anyone who defeats him an {{Badge|Earth}}.

In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]], he is one of the leaders of [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]], the other being {{ga|Red}}.

==In the core series games==
He is a very cocky and somewhat unfriendly young man, typically bidding people farewell with "Smell ya later!" (Japanese: '''バイビー！''' ''Baibii!''), and his primary motivation throughout the game is to become the greatest Trainer. Aside from that main goal, he also seems to take satisfaction from always being one step ahead of the player character. He eventually accomplishes his goal, defeating the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]] and becoming the [[Pokémon Champion]], but is quickly defeated by the player, losing the position.

In {{game2|Red|Green|Blue}}, {{game|Yellow}}, and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, Blue is the player's rival. He used to be a good childhood friend of {{ga|Red}} but became mean as they grew older. He believes that Red is his rival because they are of the same age and height. He will meet up with the player as they journey across the [[Kanto]] region, challenging them every once in a while to test their skills. Like the player, he receives a [[first partner Pokémon]] from Professor Oak, his grandfather: the one he chooses will be of the type which weakens the type of the player's choice. In Yellow, he will take the {{p|Eevee}} Professor Oak had intended for the player.

Eventually, Blue becomes the {{pkmn|Champion}} at [[Indigo Plateau]], though he is defeated by the player before Professor Oak arrives to congratulate him. Once [[Professor Oak]] arrives, he deems Blue to have not realized how to care for Pokémon, which he commends the player for. Frustrated, Blue journeys to the [[Sevii Islands]] at Professor Oak's request, obtaining new Pokémon to use in his matches against the player at the Indigo Plateau (as all in-game Champions return to their position on the player's return to their hometown).

In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, however, it is revealed that, after he was defeated at the Indigo Plateau by Red ({{ga|Leaf}} does not appear and is not mentioned in the remake games, and did not exist at the time of Generation II), Blue returned to [[Pallet Town]]. As [[Viridian Gym]]'s [[Gym Leader|Leader]], [[Giovanni]], had abandoned it on his defeat at the hands of Red, Blue took the position, now handing out the {{Badge|Earth}} to Trainers who bested him. In Generation IV, he also distributes {{TM|92|Trick Room}} to those who win the Earth Badge, but does not give a TM out in Generation II. He has not lost his nature as a traveling Trainer, however, and frequently leaves his Gym, creating problems for Trainers who wish to challenge him. When they do find him wherever he is, he points them in the direction of [[Viridian Gym]] for an official league battle. Blue will not battle the player until they have the other seven Kanto Badges in the remakes. However, in the originals he can be challenged as early as after the meeting on [[Cinnabar Island]].

In HeartGold and SoulSilver only, the player can face Blue in a [[rematch]] at the [[Fighting Dojo]]. The method of obtaining his number is slightly different from the other Gym Leaders. The player must have their Pokémon at maximum friendship and have it massaged by [[Daisy Oak]] seven times. After the seventh time, she will give the player Blue's phone number when spoken to. He can be called for a rematch on Sunday night.

In {{B2W2}}, the player can challenge Blue in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]. He participates in the [[Champions Tournament]], with Giovanni filling in his space as a Kanto Gym Leader.

While he does not appear in {{g|X and Y}}, Blue is mentioned by a woman in the Magenta Plaza Pokémon Center in [[Lumiose City]], who says that Blue traveled to the [[Kalos]] region to study abroad.

In {{game4|SMUSUM}}, Blue appears at [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]], having been invited to be a leader of the facility alongside Red. When the player first enters the facility area, Red and Blue will appear to greet the player and congratulate them on becoming the Champion of Alola, after which the player gets to battle against one of them.

In {{LGPE}}, Blue is first encountered in [[Pewter City]] after the player has defeated [[Brock]]. He mentions how he also left on a journey from Pallet Town sometime earlier than the player, and, as Professor Oak hadn't made a [[Pokédex]] by the time he left for his journey, had had to resort to scribbling down on a map what Pokémon he encountered and where. He's later briefly met again aboard the [[S.S. Anne]], where he will give the player a [[Shalour Sable]] and warn them and {{ga|Trace}} about Team Rocket. If talked to aboard the ship, Trace can reveal that Blue actually defeated the Elite Four several years ago. When Team Rocket later takes over Silph Co., Blue is met again at the first floor of the company's office building in [[Saffron City]]. He talks about going to the Pokémon League to ask the Elite Four's help in taking down Team Rocket, but wishes to battle the player and Trace first before doing so. After the player has defeated Blue, Trace battles him next while the player starts climbing the building.

After the player has earned seven Badges, Blue appears in [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in Pallet Town, where he congratulates the player and Trace from defeating Team Rocket at Silph Co., rewarding them with a [[Key Stone]] each and also giving the player all the [[Kanto first partner Pokémon]] [[Mega Stone]]s. Once the player has defeated Giovanni at the Viridian Gym, Blue meets the player in front of it and reveals that he had been asked multiple times to take over the Gym, and now that Giovanni has left it, he decides to finally accept the request and become the new Viridian Gym Leader. Trace earns his final Badge from him soon afterwards. During the post-game, the player can rematch Blue at the Gym once per day.

[[File:Gary Rotom Phone.png|thumb|250px|Blue's {{aniseries|PTS}} counterpart, Gary Oak]]
====''Pokémon the Series''====
{{main|Gary Oak}}
Blue received an [[cross-canon counterpart|animated counterpart]] in Gary Oak, [[Ash Ketchum]]'s rival. Much like Blue, Gary was initially very arrogant, but mellowed out after he was defeated by his rival during the [[Silver Conference]]. Unlike Blue, however, Gary has not been shown to have taken over the [[Viridian Gym]]. Instead, he has decided to become a Pokémon researcher like his grandfather, and eventually becoming a member of [[Project Mew]] and a friend and rival to {{ashfr|Ash's friend}}, [[Goh]], as well.

====Pokémon Origins====
{{main|Blue (Origins)}}
Blue also had a direct counterpart that appeared in the [[Pokémon Origins]] mini-series. This counterpart shared Blue's name, in-game role, and design.

====Pokémon Generations====

Blue prominently appeared in ''[[PG03|The Challenger]]''. At the beginning of the episode, he was the subject of the [[Elite Four]]'s latest conversation, where they described him as a very strong Trainer who was the first in a long time to have collected eight Gym [[Badge]]s. He was subsequently shown challenging the Elite Four at the [[Indigo Plateau]] and defeating each member with relative ease, thus claiming the title of {{pkmn|Champion}}. Shortly after this, he was seen welcoming {{ga|Red}} and accepting his challenge.

===In other manga===
Blue, like many in-game characters, has several counterparts in the many different manga series based on Pokémon. While these manga counterparts are distinct from Blue and each other, they generally share his appearance and personality traits.

====The Electric Tale of Pikachu====
[[File:Blue XY chapter.png|thumb|100px|Blue in Pokémon Adventures]]
{{main|Gary Oak#The Electric Tale of Pikachu|Gary Oak → The Electric Tale of Pikachu}}
Blue's animated series counterpart, [[Gary Oak]], also appears in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. In the manga, he has a sister (unseen in the {{pkmn|animated series}}) named {{Daisy|May}}.

====Pokémon 4Koma====
{{main|Rival (4Koma)}}
In [[Pokémon 4Koma]], Blue has a counterpart simply named {{OBP|Rival|4Koma}}.

====Pokémon Adventures====
{{main|Blue (Adventures)}}
Blue has a direct counterpart in a similarly named character of [[Pokémon Adventures]]. Like in the games, he's {{adv|Professor Oak}}'s grandson, serves as {{adv|Red}}'s final opponent at the [[Indigo Plateau]] [[Pokémon League]], and becomes the [[Viridian City]] [[Gym Leader]] after {{adv|Giovanni}} abdicates the position. In the {{MangaArc|X & Y}}, he also appears in [[Kalos]] to help stop [[Team Flare]] and is shown being capable of using [[Mega Evolution]] with his {{TP|Blue|Charizard}}.

====Pokémon Pocket Monsters====
{{main|Green (Pocket Monsters)}}
Blue has a counterpart in the [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga named {{PPM|Green}}, sharing his Japanese name. Green is {{PPM|Red}}'s rival and, like Blue, is {{PPM|Professor Oak}}'s grandson.

====Pokémon Zensho====
{{main|Shigeru (Zensho)}}
Blue has a counterpart in the [[Pokémon Zensho]] manga named {{Zensho|Shigeru}}, named after Blue's alternate name from the games and {{Gary}}'s Japanese name.

==Trivia==
* In Generation I, battle animations are forcibly turned on during the battle against Blue even if the player has them turned off.
* In [[Generation I]] games, the rival appears with no Trainer class, for instance simply "<name> wants to fight!" However, in the game data, there are three separate Trainer classes used by the rival character: <sc>Rival1</sc>, <sc>Rival2</sc>, and <sc>Rival3</sc> (Japanese: ライバル1 ''Rival 1'', ライバル2 ''Rival 2'', and ライバル3 ''Rival 3''). Each of these Trainer classes corresponds to a different sprite used in-game, and the {{pkmn|Champion}} [[List of battle music themes|battle theme music]] plays when the player is battling the last one.
* Blue's [[first partner Pokémon]] is {{p|Charmander}} by default in the data of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red, Blue]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]]. If the {{player}} used cheats to progress without receiving a first partner Pokémon, then Blue's team in all battles would be the same as if the player had chosen {{p|Bulbasaur}}. This would be changed if the player selected {{p|Charmander}} or {{p|Squirtle}} later at any point, causing Blue to use the correct team based on the player's first partner Pokémon from this point onwards.
* Along with {{ga|Red}}, [[Lance]], and the [[Generation I]] and {{Gen|III}} [[Kanto]] [[Gym Leader]]s (excluding [[Koga]] and [[Giovanni]]), Blue has appeared in [[generation]]s I-V of the [[Pokémon games]]. He is also the only [[rival]] with this feat.
* Blue is the only character that has been a [[rival]], {{pkmn|Champion}}, and [[Gym Leader]].
* His English name Blue Oak is the name of a species of {{wp|Quercus douglasii|oak tree}}. He shares this distinction with his {{Gary|animated series counterpart}}, {{wp|Quercus garryana|Gary Oak}}.
* Blue's role as a Gym Leader in [[Viridian City]] correlates with his Japanese name, Green, since viridian is a shade of green, and the {{badge|Earth}} he gives is called the Green Badge in Japanese.
* Blue's [[level]] 60 {{p|Pidgeot}} in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} is the highest level Pokémon used by a Gym Leader outside of [[rematch]]es.
* Blue is the only Gym Leader who:
** Shares his name with his Gym's [[Badge]], as the Earth Badge is called the "Green Badge" in Japanese, matching Blue's Japanese name.
** Uses a full [[party]] of six Pokémon in a Gym battle.
** Does not have a [[Type expert|specialty type]].
** Was a Champion before he became Gym Leader.
* Blue and [[Piers]] are the only Gym Leaders the [[player character]] battles for a [[badge]] that do not have a Gym slogan.
* In the Round 2 battle of {{g|Stadium 2}}, each of Blue's Pokémon is the signature Pokémon of a Trainer battled at the end of a stage at the Johto [[Gym Leader Castle]]: {{p|Scyther}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Bugsy]], {{p|Miltank}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Whitney]], {{p|Gengar}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Morty]], {{p|Houndoom}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Archer]], {{p|Piloswine}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Pryce]], and {{p|Kingdra}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Clair]].
* In Pokémon Yellow, half of Blue's Pokémon team are [[Evolution|evolved]] by using [[Evolution stone]]s (or 2/3 of the team if Eevee evolved into {{p|Jolteon}}). This may be a nod to his first Pokémon in that game, {{p|Eevee}}.
** Coincidentally, {{p|Magneton}}, a Pokémon he uses in these games if Eevee didn't evolve into Jolteon, would later be made capable of evolving further into {{p|Magnezone}}, which itself would become a potentially [[Thunder Stone]]-induced Evolution starting in [[Generation VIII]].
* In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, if the player chose {{p|Squirtle}}, none of Blue's Pokémon share a type in the Champion rematch, making him the first Champion with this trait.
* In {{LGPE}}, Blue's team is similar to [[Professor Oak]]'s [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|unused team]] from [[Generation I]].

==Names==
[[File:Yellow manual story.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Blue named ブルー (''Blue'') in the manual of Pokémon Yellow]]
[[File:Ash Gary game.png|thumb|160px|Red and Blue called "Ash" and "Gary" in the Nintendo Power guide]]
While this character had various names in [[Generation I]], from [[Generation II]] onwards he is referred to as '''Blue''' (Japanese: '''{{j|グリーン}}''' ''Green''). He appears as a [[non-player character]] in several [[core series]] games, [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], and [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. He was named after the [[Generation I]] game [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Blue]] in English, or [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Green]] in Japanese.

In the Japanese version, Blue and his sister Daisy are only referred to by their given names, and it is not known if they have the surname of their grandfather [[Professor Oak]]. However, in the English version, Blue's sister is named [[Daisy Oak]], therefore he is presumably named '''Blue Oak''' as well.

The name '''Gary''', after Ash's rival in {{aniseries|PTS}}, has also been used. It is one of the default names listed in the games, and is used in ''[[Pokémon: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'' (Nintendo Power, 1998).

Other names and terms have also been used in various media:
* The English {{game|Red and Blue|s}} manuals simply refer to him as "your rival".
* The Japanese game manuals include text that name him based on a different Japanese game version, '''{{j|グリーン}}''' ''Green''{{sup/1|R}}, '''{{j|レッド}}''' ''Red''{{sup/1|GB}}, '''{{j|ブルー}}''' ''Blue''{{sup/1|Y}}.
* Game screenshots in the official game manuals use the names '''Red'''{{sup/1|RB}} and '''{{Gary}}'''{{sup/1|Y}}.
* In [[Pokémon Stadium]], he is simply known as '''Rival''' (Japanese: '''ライバル''' ''Rival'').

This character is also known by some placeholder names, which are stored in the game data but not available in normal gameplay: '''{{wp|Sony}}'''{{sup/1|RBY}} (Japanese: '''いしはら''' ''Ishihara''{{sup/1|RG}}; '''クリチャ''' ''Kuricha''{{sup/1|JB}}{{sup/1|Y}}) or '''Terry''' (Japanese: '''みてい''' ''Undefined''){{sup/3|FRLG}}. At least in Generation I, this name would not appear in regular gameplay, but could be displayed if some {{wp|Random-access memory|RAM}} {{wp|memory address|addresses}} are changed.<ref>[http://acmlm.kafuka.org/board/thread.php?pid=18912#18912 Intresting and funny in Pokemon Red Acmlmboard]</ref>
* The English "'''Sony'''" references the fact that in the years surrounding the releases of the Generation I games, Sony was Nintendo's main competition, while the player's placeholder name is "Ninten" in those games.
* The Japanese '''いしはら''' (''Ishihara'') refers to [[Tsunekazu Ishihara]], the current president and {{wp|Chief executive officer|CEO}} of [[The Pokémon Company]] and who was the games' producer at the time
* The Japanese '''クリチャ''' (''Kuricha'') refers to [[Creatures, Inc.]] (Japanese: クリーチャーズ ''Creatures'').
* The Japanese '''みてい''' is a placeholder for no name given yet. Possible translations are "Undefined", "Pending", or "TBD".

During the development stage of {{game|Red and Green|s}}, he was initially named '''ギャラ夫''' (''Gyarao''), a reference to him being a Trainer of {{p|Gyarados}}.<ref>[https://twitter.com/SUPER_32X/status/524989875867504641 Ken Sugimori's Twitter]</ref>

'''Cynthia''' (Japanese: '''シロナ''' ''Shirona'') is an archeologist who is also the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Sinnoh]] region's [[Sinnoh League|Pokémon League]] in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl}}, {{v2|Platinum}}, {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl}}.

==In the core series games==
===Character profile===
Cynthia is the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]], who makes her first appearance in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. She also is the first female, non-playable character Champion introduced in the [[core series]]. Cynthia is an archeologist who investigates myths involving Pokémon and is described as mysterious, referring to herself as "the researcher of myths." With her interest in mythology and history, she spends her time researching and exploring various sites associated with [[Legendary Pokémon]] of the Sinnoh region. Because of this Cynthia has a wide knowledge of Pokémon and their relationships with people, creating some theories of her own. She can get carried away with these topics, often talking for long periods of time or theorizing in places where she shouldn't be.<ref>'''[[Cynthia/Quotes|Cynthia]]''': ''"...Oops. This is no time for idle chitchat."'' ({{game|Platinum}}, in the [[Distortion World]])</ref> Cynthia realizes this behavior, catching herself and apologizing whenever it happens.<ref>'''[[Cynthia/Quotes|Cynthia]]''': ''"I'm sorry this is so long. May I say one last bit?"'' ({{game|Platinum}}, at Celestic Ruins)</ref> Similarly, she speaks politely, frequently asking the player if they are doing well and uses phrases such as "pardon".

Cynthia tends to enjoy relaxation and travel, visiting the villas owned by [[Caitlin]] and the player found in [[Unova]] and in Sinnoh's [[Battle Zone]] respectively. In Platinum, she expresses that part of the reason for this is that she is typically a messy person, and has research papers thrown around the house. Cynthia also enjoys the piano, claiming that she enjoys the sound, listening to it with both her body and spirit.

Cynthia has a large love and passion for Pokémon and is implied to have helped [[Professor Rowan]] with his [[Pokédex]], embarking on an adventure as a child, similar to that of the player. Cynthia can be seen as a generous person, providing the player with multiple items and information throughout their journey, including [[Pokémon Egg]]s. While generous, she is also very appreciative of the player's efforts. At the Pokémon League, she acknowledges the player's strength as a Trainer and their bond with Pokémon. She enjoys fun and challenging battles and isn't easy to give up.

Cynthia's known relatives include her grandmother, her grandfather, and a younger sister, all of which go unnamed. Her family lives in [[Celestic Town]], although her own hometown was not mentioned, even going as far to say that her home region is a secret. Cynthia bears a striking resemblance to [[Volo]] and [[Cogita]], implying some form of ancestry, however the direct correlation between the three, is unknown.

===Appearance===
[[File:Diamond and Pearl Cynthia production art.png|thumb|right|200px|Cynthia's appearance without her coat can be seen in her concept art for {{g|Diamond and Pearl}}.]]
Cynthia is an adult woman with long curly platinum blonde hair that reaches behind her knees. Bangs fall over her left eye, and two large side curls fall in front of her shoulders, curling inward, covering her ears and the back of the neck. She has thin eyebrows. Cynthia's eyes are thin, but round, and point outward ending with thick eyelashes. She has gray irises. While their relation is unknown, she carries similar design attributes with that of [[Volo]] and [[Cogita]], possessing similar facial structures and colors.

Her clothing and design has remained mainly the same between all of her core series appearances. Her hair has four decorations, two on each side of her head, resembling black teardrops, like the [[Aura]]-sensing appendages of a {{p|Lucario}}, with a gold stripe around each, as on the ears of an {{p|Umbreon}}. One of Cynthia's most iconic attributes is her long and heavy black coat that drapes over half-way down her legs, ending in dark black fur trim. The coat forms a V-neck with the openings connecting to another with another teardrop-like ornament that is silver in color, potentially acting as a zipper, that ends on the front of her chest. Two more silvery buttons appear next to this ornament. The coat's long sleeves end at her wrists also ending in dark black fur trim. Cynthia also owns a scarf of the same black fluffy material as the fur trim on her coat, covering a majority of her neck. Underneath, Cynthia wears a plain, dark-gray V-neck dress shirt with long sleeves ending at around her hips. Cynthia's long light gray dress pants also lack much detail other than seams. The pants however, do cover her ankles, leaving no form of skin in sight. The toe tips of Cynthia's black pointed high-heel shoes have a thin gold stripe that end at the soles. A majority of her shoes are covered by her pant legs. Cynthia without her coat and hair decorations is seen in concept art for Diamond and Pearl.

Cynthia owns a [[Pokédex]] and, in [[Generation VII]], she has a [[Key Stone]]. Where these items are held are unknown.

===Role===
====Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl====
'''Website blurb'''{{sup/8|BDSP}}: ''A mysterious person who shows up at many points along your journey. She’s investigating myths about Pokémon.''

Cynthia makes her first appearance in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, where she meets up with the {{player}} at various points during their journey.

She will first meet the player in [[Eterna City]], where she takes an interest in them for owning a [[Pokédex]] given to them by [[Professor Rowan]]. She explains to the player about her interest in mythology and about [[Sinnoh]]'s [[Pokémon of myth]], she then offers {{HM|01|Cut}} to the player. After the player defeats [[Crasher Wake]] and [[Maylene]], and follows a {{tc|Team Galactic Grunt}} found in [[Pastoria City]] to [[Lake Valor]], the player runs into Cynthia again at [[Valor Lakefront]], where she is researching the {{p|Azelf|Pokémon of the lake}}, however, the lake is currently closed to the public. She asks the player if they have seen the wild {{p|Psyduck}} that appear at {{rt|210|Sinnoh}}, giving them the [[Secret Medicine|SecretPotion]] that would help cure the Pokémon's headache. Once the player makes their way to Route 210, Cynthia appears again once the Psyduck have left. This time, she has a big favor to ask the player, and gives them the [[Old Charm]] to deliver to [[Professor Carolina|her grandmother]] at [[Celestic Town]]. In [[Hearthome City]], Cynthia speaks to the player at the gym after they have defeated [[Fantina]], making mention of [[Team Galactic]] and their dangerous acts. She later appears at the {{si|Pokémon League}} as the {{pkmn|Champion}}, serving as the player's final obstacle.

In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, she can also be battled against at the {{si|Battle Tower}}.

====Pokémon Platinum====
In {{game|Platinum}}, Cynthia has the same role as she did in Diamond and Pearl, but has an extended role in this game, allowing for more character interactions and events.

Like in Diamond and Pearl, the player first meets Cynthia at [[Eterna City]], where she takes notice of the [[Pokédex]] that [[Professor Rowan]] has given them. She explains to them that she is a researcher of myth, and that [[Sinnoh]] has many Pokémon to discover to record in the [[Pokédex]]. After her explanation of the statue based on the [[Pokémon of myth]], she provides the player with {{HM|01|Cut}}, and before leaving, asks the player to give her regards to Professor Rowan. After [[Jupiter]]'s defeat in the [[Team Galactic Eterna Building]], Cynthia meets the player at [[Rad Rickshaw's Cycle Shop|the cycle shop]] and happily gives the player a {{p|Togepi}} {{pkmn|Egg}}, saying it will help them with their Pokédex.

After the player defeats [[Crasher Wake]] in [[Pastoria City]] and follows a [[Team Galactic Grunt]] towards [[Lake Valor]], the player runs into Cynthia again at [[Valor Lakefront]], where she is researching the {{p|Azelf|Pokémon of the lake}}, however, the lake is currently closed to the public. She asks the player if they have seen the wild {{p|Psyduck}} that appear at {{rt|210|Sinnoh}} and gives them the [[Secret Medicine|SecretPotion]] that would help cure the Pokémon's headache. The player makes their way to Route 210, with Cynthia appearing again once the Psyduck have left. This time, she has a big favor to ask the player, and gives them the [[Old Charm]] to deliver to [[Professor Carolina|her grandmother]] in [[Celestic Town]]. At Celestic Town, she takes notice of the bomb held by [[Team Galactic]], having second thoughts about how harmless they actually were and how their usage of Pokémon is unacceptable. She directs the player towards [[Canalave City]] and it's library, if they want to continue work on their Pokédex.

At the summit of [[Mount Coronet]], Cynthia arrives at the [[Spear Pillar]] once [[Cyrus]] has been dragged into the [[Distortion World]] by a shadowy figure. Providing context of Sinnoh's origins, she explains that there is a third [[Pokémon of myth]] alongside {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, a Pokémon named {{p|Giratina}}. Because of Giratina's presence, space-time is distorting from the portal leading to the Distortion World. Cynthia and the player lead into the Distortion World where she guides the player through the world in order to confront Giratina. Throughout the Distortion World, Cynthia explains the properties of the location, the lack of Pokémon, the abnormality of space and time, and the balance the [[Lake guardians]] have with the Pokémon of myth. After the defeat of Cyrus and Giratina, Cynthia and the player fall back into the [[Sendoff Spring]], where she offers her thanks on the situation, and tells the player to meet Professor Rowan who was worried. She splits paths with the players once again, and, like in Diamond and Pearl, she is fought as the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the {{si|Pokémon League}}.

During the post-game, she will appear at the [[Celestic Ruins]], explaining the context. Cynthia theorizes about the three lights, painted on the cave wall, such as what Pokémon they could be or if it represents something greater. She connects it to the writing that is engraved on the [[Plate]]s found throughout Sinnoh, and how there may be a another Pokémon mentioned, called {{ga|Arceus|the Original One}}. Her theory implies that this Pokémon is stronger than Dialga or Palkia, but is unsure about where Giratina may fit into the bigger picture. She thanks the player for listening and takes off.

The player meets Cynthia again at [[Snowpoint City]] after they have found every Pokémon in Sinnoh. Here, she provides the player with words of encouragement before they boat to the [[Fight Area]], and how she is proud of them. She can later appear in the player's [[villa]] in the [[Resort Area]], and takes mention of her love for the piano.

====Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver====
[[File:Cynthiasinjoh.png|thumb|Cynthia with {{p|Arceus}} in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Cynthia makes an appearance in the [[Sinjoh Ruins]], doing further investigation on the origins of {{p|Arceus}} and the [[Pokémon of myth]]. If the player has an Arceus with a [[fateful encounter]] marker or from the [[Hall of Origin]] when they visit the [[Ruins of Alph]], the player will be teleported to the Sinjoh Ruins. Inside a cabin at the ruins, the player will find Cynthia, who will tell the player that Arceus will let them obtain a [[level]] 1 {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, or {{p|Giratina}}. If the player returns to the Sinjoh Ruins with another Arceus (that doesn't have the same origin as the one they used the first time), they will be informed that Cynthia has returned to Sinnoh, and the event will run without her.

====Generation V====
During [[Generation V]], Cynthia appears in a villa belonging to [[Caitlin]] in [[Undella Town]], where she can be battled. She leaves after being defeated for the first time and afterwards reappears during the spring and summer {{season}}s. During spring, she can be rebattled once a day. After defeating her, [[Shauntal]] and [[Caitlin]] can be seen visiting this house in the spring, and, in {{game|Black and White|s}} only, [[Lenora]], [[Elesa]], [[Iris]], and [[Skyla]] visit in the summer.

In {{game|Black and White|s}}, she speaks about a young Trainer who had defeated her, and mentions that the same Trainer also defeated {{p|Giratina}}, referring to the player character during the events of Platinum.

In {{B2W2}}, Cynthia can also be battled in the [[Champions Tournament]] at the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]. She is the only woman who participates in this tournament, with [[Iris]] being excluded.

====Generation VII====
In {{game4|SMUSUM}}, Cynthia appears in [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]] as an opponent that the player can battle and subsequently recruit.

===Pokémon===
Cynthia has used a variety of Pokémon both in [[type]] and selection. In {{game|Platinum}} and in rematches in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, none of her Pokémon share any types with one another and has the most diverse Pokémon usage in comparison to other Champions in her team of six, owning 11 of the 12 possible types. Her Pokémon usage from Platinum is reflected in [[Volo]]'s team in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, owning the exact same Pokémon with the exception of {{p|Milotic}}.

Her {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} has seen usage in every game where she has battled the player, and has appeared in numerous pieces of media and merchandise on her own. Tied with [[Red's Pikachu]] in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Cynthia's Garchomp rests at level 88 in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl as the highest level Pokémon owned by an [[Non-player character|NPC]] outside of [[Battle facility|battle facilities]].

===[[Pokémon UNITE]]===
Cynthia and her {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} appear in {{g|UNITE}} as an enemy Trainer to fight during the Legacy Trainer Showdown event between September 9, 2022 and October 6, 2022. It takes place on [[Theia Sky Ruins]]. Her Garchomp starts the battle as {{p|Gible}} and can evolve to {{p|Gabite}} and then {{p|Garchomp}} during the battle. The other members of her team are [[Korrina]], [[Raihan]], [[Leon]], and {{ga|Green}}. The event later returned between April 21, 2023 and May 21, 2023.

Cynthia and her Garchomp also appear as an enemy Trainer in the recurring {{DL|Theia Sky Ruins|Solo Challenge}} event. It also takes place on Theia Sky Ruins. This event has Casual, Intermediate, Expert, and Extreme difficulties. The composition of the opposing team varies depending on the event and the difficulty. The full team consists of herself, Cynthia, Raihan, Leon, and Green. In Cynthia themed events, Cynthia's team includes [[Korrina]], [[Raihan]], [[Leon]], and {{ga|Green}}. On the Casual difficulty, all four of the other trainers are replaced by {{tc|Ace Trainer}}s. On the Intermediate difficulty, only Leon and Green are replaced by Ace Trainers. In a Leon themed event, Cythnia only appears on the Expert and Extreme difficulties, being replaced by an Ace Trainer on lower difficulties. In this mode, Cynthia and her Garchomp never use [[Holowear]].

Unlike other Trainers in this game, Cynthia and the non-Ace Trainer members of her team are represented with two-dimensional artwork instead of three-dimensional models. In the pre-battle splash screen, Cynthia has a custom Unite Snapshot depicting her and her Garchomp with two dimensional artwork. (The normal display of the Unite License/Holowear is not used.) This means her [[List of items in Pokémon UNITE|Battle Item]] is not shown. However, she uses [[X Attack]].

Cynthia appears as a Background element for a Trainer's Unite Snapshot. This uses the same artwork as her own Unite Snapshot, but does not feature Garchomp. Her outfit can be worn as a Trainer Outfit by players. (It does not consist of separate items and cannot be worn with any additional items.) This outfit is rendered as a model, unlike Cynthia.

==In the manga==
[[File:Cynthia Looker Adventures.png|thumb|270px|Cynthia in Pokémon Adventures]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
Cynthia has loved cycling since her childhood and often races with her {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}}.

====History====
====={{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}=====
In ''[[PS460|All About Arceus IX]]'', Cynthia is seen in the [[Johto]] region, where she spots Dialga and Palkia flying towards Sinnoh. She is then approached by [[Palmer]], a [[Frontier Brain]] who also hails from Sinnoh.

====={{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}=====
Cynthia first appears in ''[[PS347|Ring Around the Roserade I]]''. She is first seen in [[Eterna City]], where she correctly predicts the Evolutions of {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}}'s [[Tru]], [[Chimler]], and {{TP|Platinum|Piplup}}. In the [[PS348|following chapter]], after laughing at Diamond and Pearl's comedy routine, Cynthia offers to give Platinum advice for her upcoming Gym battle against [[Gardenia]]. Once finished, Cynthia attacks the [[Team Galactic Eterna Building]] in order to rescue [[Rad Rickshaw]], who was kidnapped by [[Team Galactic]].

In ''[[PS367|Suffering Psyduck]]'', Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum encounter Cynthia again at the {{si|Pokémon Mansion}}. Cynthia reveals that [[Mr. Backlot]], the owner of the mansion, asked her to investigate a {{p|Psyduck}} that went missing. She takes the three to {{rt|210|Sinnoh}}, where a large group of Psyduck have clustered together, creating a roadblock that prevents anyone from passing through the route. Using a [[Secret Medicine|SecretPotion]], Cynthia cures the Psyduck of their headaches, causing them to disperse and allow travel through Route 210.

Afterward, Cynthia and the trio meet with Cynthia's [[Professor Carolina|grandmother]], who had been forced to stay at the [[Café Cabin]] due to the roadblock preventing her from going back to [[Celestic Town]]. Cynthia decides to have her grandmother take the trio to Celestic Town while she goes off to return one of the Psyduck to its owner. Before leaving, Cynthia lends her {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} to her grandmother for protection.

In ''[[PS406|Halting Honchkrow]]'', Cynthia appears at the [[Team Galactic HQ]] to confront [[Cyrus]], the leader of Team Galactic. Cynthia reveals that her intentions were to take revenge on Cyrus for attacking Celestic Town, her hometown. Despite her best efforts, Cynthia's rage leads to her commanding Garchomp to attack with {{m|Draco Meteor}}, which it had yet to master. The attack heavily damages Cyrus's {{p|Gyarados}}, but fails to actually knock it out. With Garchomp left exhausted after using the move, Cyrus bids Cynthia farewell and heads to the [[Spear Pillar]] to begin his plans.

Cynthia, realizing that Cyrus intends to summon {{adv|Pokémon of myth|Dialga and Palkia}}, decides to follow after him to prevent the two Pokémon from being awakened. As she heads out of the building, Cynthia comes across Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, who had fought Team Galactic to free {{adv|Lake guardians|Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf}} from their clutches. The trio join Cynthia and travel to the Spear Pillar in order to put a stop to Cyrus's ambitions. By the time the group arrived at the Spear Pillar, Cyrus had already successfully summoned Dialga and Palkia and had them fight each other. The clash between the two Legendary Pokémon creates distortions in time and space that slowly begin to engulf the [[Sinnoh]] region. The distortions, combined with her injures, prevent Cynthia from being much help to Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum during the battle against Cyrus.

During the battle, an explosion causes Cynthia to drop a scroll containing information on Dialga and Palkia. After translating the scroll, Platinum relays the information to Diamond and Pearl, who successfully free Dialga and Palkia from Cyrus's control. Now free, Dialga and Palkia combine their powers to defeat Cyrus and stop the distortions affecting Sinnoh.

====={{MangaArc|Platinum}}=====
In ''[[PS431|The Final Dimensional Duel I]]'', Cynthia is taken to [[Veilstone City]] by her grandmother. Cynthia is chastised by her grandmother over her defeat at the hands of Cyrus. Cynthia's grandmother reveals she plans on training Cynthia to fully master learning Draco Meteor.

In ''[[PS440|The Final Dimensional Duel X]]'', Cynthia appears in [[Sunyshore City]], where she defeats [[Charon]] and Giratina with a fully-mastered Draco Meteor. When asked how she knew Giratina would appear in Sunyshore, Cynthia reveals that being trapped in the [[Distortion World]] left Giratina with the desire to see the sun. Afterward, Cynthia takes her grandmother to the Café Cabin as thanks for the special training.

==Trivia==
* After the player heads into the [[Distortion World]] in Platinum, should the player use the portal to head back into Spear Pillar, Cynthia will still be there, while also being in the Distortion World.
* In the Sinnoh-based games, {{p|Milotic}} is her only Pokémon used that was not introduced during [[Generation IV]].
**In Generation IV, it is also the only Pokémon used by her that is not a dual type.
* In Platinum, Cynthia's {{p|Togekiss}} has the {{a|Hustle}} [[Ability]], despite having no moves that benefit from the Ability.
* Cynthia shares many similarities with [[Volo]]:
** {{DL|Task|Missions|Mission}} 20, where the player must meet up with Volo, is called The Researcher of Myths, a title by which Cynthia also refers to herself.
** In his final battle, Volo wears a necklace with a teardrop-shaped ornament that resembles the ornament on Cynthia's dress. However, [[Cogita]]'s dress more fully resembles Cynthia's, including the teardrop-shaped ornament, so the significance of the ornament is uncertain.
** In the final battle against him, Volo shares five Pokémon with Cynthia's {{game|Platinum}} team: {{p|Spiritomb}}, {{p|Garchomp}}, {{p|Togekiss}}, {{p|Roserade}}, and {{p|Lucario}}. The only Pokémon that Volo does not use from said team is {{p|Milotic}}, as it is not present in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}; he instead uses {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Arcanine}}. Like Cynthia, Volo always begins the battle by sending out Spiritomb.
** The music that plays before Volo's final battle begins is an arrangement of Cynthia's battle theme. His final battle theme is an arrangement of Cynthia's encounter and battle themes.
** After his final battle, Volo vows to meet {{p|Arceus}}, and in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Cynthia meets Arceus during the [[Sinjoh Ruins]] event.
* A blonde-haired woman by the name of Cynthia McMaster appears as a minor character in the 2019 movie ''[[Pokémon: Detective Pikachu]]''. Her name (which is drawn attention to by [[Lucy Stevens]]) may be a nod to the Sinnoh Champion, or the character may be intended to be the same Cynthia.
** It should be noted that the character's name remains Cynthia in the Japanese dub, rather than being changed to Shirona, however this could also potentially be because the translators missed the reference.

===Americas Winter 2011 Celebi===
{{bulbanews/3|Legendary beasts distribution reveals Celebi event|U.S. Black and White promotional tour announced|Celebi travels through time, around globe}}
This Celebi was distributed to promote ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.
* In the United States, it was distributed from February 5 to March 20, 2011 during the [[Pokémon Black and White Sampling Tour|Pokémon Black and White Mall Tour]].
* It was [http://nintendoworld.com.br//content.php?id=2954 distributed] at {{wp|pt:Livraria_Saraiva|Saraiva}} stores in {{wp|Brazil}} and at {{wp|GameStop}} stores in the United States and Canada from February 21 to March 6, 2011.

An [[List of undistributed event Pokémon#GameStop Celebi|undistributed version]] of this event with the red [[original Trainer]] "GAMESTP" and [[Trainer ID number]] "02271" was found on the same [[distribution cartridge]] as the GameStop Shiny legendary beasts. While it was replaced by this Celebi before the official start date of the event, some GameStop stores began the distribution early, resulting in some copies of the replaced Celebi being distributed.

===2007 TCG World Championships Pikachu===
This Pikachu was distributed at the {{TCG|2007 World Championships}} of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] in Hawaii, the United States to participants' games from August 10 to 12, 2007. Because this was the first distribution outside of Japan, it was decided against to use a wondercard for this Pikachu so that wondercards were not introduced globally during the World Championships. Instead, it was directly downloaded into your game by having one free space in your party. It was distributed to Japanese, English, Spanish, Italian, French and German copies of Diamond and Pearl. Roughly [https://ptcglegends.com/worlds/2007/pictures#booklet 500] people lined up to download this Pikachu to their games.

Walkthrough:Pokémon Black 2 and White 2/Part 16

2026-04-12T22:38:30Z

OwlsTalon: /* Nimbasa City */

{{WalkthroughNotice|B2W2}}
==Aspertia City==
===Home Again===
After defeating the Pokémon League, you'll find yourself back where your adventure began: [[Aspertia City]]. As you leave your bedroom, Mom says that she is expecting a visitor. A moment later, a man stops by and introduces himself as Professor Juniper! [[Cedric Juniper]], father to the other [[Professor Juniper]]. He then upgrades your Pokédex, enabling [[National Pokédex|National Dex]] mode. This switches the numbering system from the Unova Dex listing to the international listing, though you are free to switch it back. Cedric leaves, and Mom gives you two [[Max Revive]]s as a gift.

Step outside to meet [[Hugh]] and his little sister, who thank you for helping return her former {{p|Purrloin}}. They also tell you of a dream she has been having, of a {{p|Zoroark}} calling out to you from {{OBP|Victory Road|Black 2 and White 2}}. As they leave, Hugh congratulates you on becoming the new [[Champion]].

===Mass Outbreaks===
[[Mass_outbreak#Black_2_and_White_2|Mass outbreak]]s of Pokémon will now appear in certain parts of the region. These locations change daily, and are broadcast on the electric bulletin boards in every gate.

==Floccesy Town==
===New Wallpapers===
Visit the Pokémon Center and access Amanita's PC to receive a new wallpaper commemorating your entrance into the Hall of Fame. It can be accessed under ''Special'' on the menu.

===Alder's Challenge===
Return to [[Alder]]'s house in the northwest part of town to battle the former Champion. His Pokémon are a little tougher than those of [[Iris|the current Champion]], but thankfully not by much, so he's a good opponent to fight right away as a warmup for some of the upcoming fights.

Half of his team is {{type|Bug}} Pokémon. {{t|Fire}} attacks will roast his {{p|Accelgor}} and {{p|Escavalier}}, and his {{p|Bouffalant}} takes double the damage from {{t|Fighting}} moves. {{t|Flying}}- and {{type|Psychic}} attacks work well against his {{p|Conkeldurr}}, while his {{p|Braviary}} is vulnerable to {{t|Electric}}- and {{type|Ice}} moves. The star of the show, {{p|Volcarona}}, takes massive damage from {{type|Rock}} attacks, though Flying- and {{type|Water}} moves are also effective. Don't hesitate to use healing items, as his attacks provide a lot of type coverage.

After the battle, his grandson [[Benga]] runs in. He excitedly tells his grandfather that he made it through the [[Black Tower]]{{sup/5|B2}} / [[White Treehollow]]{{sup/5|W2}}. He leaves, and Alder suggests that you challenge him in [[Black City]]{{sup/5|B2}} / [[White Forest]]{{sup/5|W2}}.

[[File:Cave of Being B2W2.png|thumb|Inside the Cave of Being]]
===Cave of Being===
The [[Cave of Being]] is a small cave that can be reached by climbing the waterfall on the south side of {{rt|20|Unova}}. It is said that the deepest part of the cave connects to the distant [[Sinnoh]] region. [[Professor Juniper]] is inside investigating the area. Suddenly, a mysterious presence can be felt, and the three [[lake guardians]] — {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}} — appear. They float here for a moment before wandering off. To find them, you must step on a certain spot when they are nearby so that they reveal themselves.

Mesprit can be found on the [[Celestial Tower]]'s rooftop. Stand at the foot of the bell platform to detect its presence.

Azelf can be found on {{rt|23|Unova}}. Travel to the forest on the west side, and stand on the platform near the {{m|Strength}} puzzle to detect its presence.

Uxie can be found in [[Nacrene City]] in the southeast area of Unova. Stand outside the Nacrene Museum to detect its presence.

===Amanita's Gift===
Visit [[Amanita]]'s lab on the third floor of the building across the street from the Gym. Speak to her with no more than five Pokémon in your party to receive an {{p|Eevee}}. This Eevee is apparently one of several sent to her from [[Bill|her friend]] in the far-off [[Kanto]] region. Not only does it have its Hidden Ability, {{a|Anticipation}}, but when it evolves it will receive the Hidden Ability for [[Eeveelution|whichever form]] it takes.

'''Volo''' (Japanese: '''ウォロ''' ''Volo'') is one of the [[Ginkgo Guild]] merchants and a worshiper of {{ga|Arceus}}. He is the {{cat|Trainers with unique classes|only character}} in the {{pkmn|games}} to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}}es '''Ginkgo Guild Member''' (Japanese: '''イチョウしょうかい''' ''Ginkgo Merchant Guild'') and '''Pokémon Wielder''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンつかい''' ''Pokémon User'').

He claims to be a descendant of the [[Celestica people|ancient Sinnoh people]].<ref>Volo: ''"The blood of the ancient Sinnoh people flows in my veins, does it not?! What is it, then, that you find so lacking in me?!"'' ({{g|Legends: Arceus}})</ref> He bears a striking resemblance to [[Cynthia]] and [[Cogita]], but the relationship between them, if any, is unknown.

==In the core series games==
{{spoilers}}
===Personality===
Volo is a merchant of the [[Ginkgo Guild]] that the player encounters several times over the course of Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Unlike many of the other merchants, he often seems to travel alone, giving the player [[item]]s and advice on how to catch or battle certain Pokémon, such as teaching them how to use the back-strike while using [[Poké Ball]]s. Volo is often excited by the player's actions, taking interest in the player's alterations and contributions to the course of history. He has a sense of curiosity, being interested in the lore and myths that may be found around the [[Hisui]] [[region]], including the [[Plate]]s held by the special and [[Legendary Pokémon]] around the region.

Despite Volo's appearance and frequent aid to the player, his kindness is nothing more than a facade, hiding a malicious and clever side to his character. Volo appears to have a deep distaste and grudge for the player, wishing that {{p|Giratina}}'s [[space-time distortion|space-time rift]] had never brought them to Hisui. His interest in mythology and {{ga|Arceus}} created an intense self-commitment to meet the [[Mythical Pokémon]] and overthrow it, wanting to create a universe anew. However, despite his negative traits, it is implied that he does care for his own Pokémon, as shown with pictures of him and his {{p|Togepi}} at the photography studio in Jubilife Village. This is further implied with both Togepi and his {{p|Lucario}} only evolving through high [[friendship]].

Volo is skilled in [[Pokémon battle]]s, often challenging the player. He is one of two people to have the most available Pokémon at once in traditional battle, the other being [[Ingo]]. [[Cogita]] remarks that he often shirks his duties to pester her at the [[Ancient Retreat]] about Hisui's legends and myths, indicating a lack of interest in his duties as a Ginkgo Guild merchant.

===Appearance===
Volo is a tall, blonde man who stands at the height of 6'3" (190 cm). He bears a striking resemblance to both [[Cynthia]] and [[Cogita]], with his outfits, hair color and eye color resembling either of the two. Volo has long blonde hair that cascades over his left eye. His hair is often tied up in a bun that rests in the back of his head, but when he is not wearing his Ginkgo Guild uniform, this bun is untied making his hair resemble that of the Pokémon {{p|Arceus}}. He has thin eyebrows, and his gray eyes are also thin and small and end in a single thick eyelash.

Volo's Ginkgo Guild uniform is largely blue, with yellow and white accents. His top is all blue, ending in puffy furred cuffs around the sleeve and collar ends. Despite the coloring, the design pays homage to Cynthia's long coat and scarf. On the front, Volo wears a white apron and connects to his belt from around his neck and back. This apron reaches down towards his knees in the front, ending in six circular yellow spots. The apron's chest shows the Ginkgo Guild's logo. A brown belt with a silver buckle on the front wraps around his waist holding up his blue pants. These pants are puffy at the knees and are tucked away inside his large and brown rounded boots. Volo wears a furred yellow and blue hat. Volo is always carrying around a large brown backpack filled with multiple merchandise and wares to sell to travelers around the region.

At the [[Temple of Sinnoh]], Volo removes his Ginkgo Guild uniform, revealing his Sinnoh Outfit, looking more religious and micking {{ga|Arceus}}' appearance. The pupils of his gray eyes are smaller. He wears a thin white shirt with shorter sleeves and the hem flows down to his right hip. The shirt's collar is golden with the decoration going over his right shoulder. His left shoulder has its own decoration, with a clothing graduating towards yellow hangs down over the sleeve. A golden belt wraps around Volo's waist with two decorative pieces pointing downward resembling Arceus' wheel-like appendages. Volo wears bright green pant tucked into his sandals at the knees. These open-toed sandals are golden all the way around, including the soles and makes several open cross-hatches down to his ankles. Volo wears two golden cuffs around his wrists, with a single "spike" stretching up against his forearms. He wears a necklace with a gray tear-drop ornament hanging from the middle, resembling Cynthia's coat zipper and Cogita's dress decoration.

===History===
====Background====
Volo, ever since he was young, whenever he was met with something painful or heartbreaking, he wondered why life was so unfair and why he was cursed to live through such things. Eventually, he chose to direct all his energy into his natural curiosity and ambition, seeking to unravel mysteries to be found in legends, history, and ruins so he could find out how the {{Pkmn|world}} itself came to be. After he became convinced that {{Ga|Arceus}} really does exist and that it did create the world, he sought to meet the Original One, subjugate its power, and use it to destroy the world and create a new, better one.

At some point, Volo sought out and somehow found {{P|Giratina}}, partnering with each other so it could tear down Arceus as revenge for banishing it in the past. Volo then fed Giratina power to take on Arceus and had it tear open a [[Space-time distortion|space-time rift]] over [[Mount Coronet]], driving {{P|Dialga}} and {{P|Palkia}} mad as a result, so that the creator would be dragged out from hiding, which didn't work. Volo and Giratina's actions also caused the [[Noble Pokémon]] to become frenzied and the appearance of [[Alpha Pokémon]] and [[Space-time distortion]]s.

==== [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] ====
'''Website blurb:''' ''"Volo, one of the Ginkgo Guild’s merchants, is often to be found wandering the Hisui region. He has a tendency to cross paths with you no matter where you travel. He’s got a boundless sense of curiosity and is always interested in unusual finds and unusual people."''

Volo is first met after the {{player}} gets their [[first partner Pokémon]]. Upon leaving the village Volo will offer to battle with his {{p|Togepi}} and reward the player with five [[Potion]]s for their victory. During the player's mission to meet [[Mai]] from [[Fieldlands Camp]], Volo appears to tell the player about Back Strikes and how to use them in Pokémon capturing and battle. Later, when the player is about to leave [[Jubilife Village]] in order to calm Lord {{p|Kleavor}}, Volo arrives to wish the player good luck, prays they used Back Strike right, and gives them [[Super Potion]]s. After calming down the first [[Noble Pokémon]], Volo greets the player upon their return to the village and asks to see the two [[Plate]]s the player obtained from {{p|Wyrdeer}} and {{p|Kleavor}}, respectively.

Volo makes minor appearances throughout the game, delivering items to others as part of the Ginkgo Guild and encouraging the player's efforts to complete the [[Pokédex]].

When [[Kamado]] exiles the player from Jubilife Village, Volo seeks them out and offers his aid. He brings the player to the [[Ancient Retreat]] and introduces them to Cogita, another descendant of the ancient Sinnoh people who has been teaching Volo the mythology of Hisui. Volo accompanies the player to [[Lake Verity]], [[Lake Valor]], and [[Lake Acuity]] as they follow Cogita's advice to seek out the [[Red Chain]]. He also takes up temporary residence at the Ancient Retreat, offering to sell the player items due to their inability to access [[Choy]]'s shop in the village. Once the Red Chain is assembled, Volo — eager for a chance to see history unfold — follows the player to the [[Temple of Sinnoh]] on their mission to prevent Kamado from attacking {{p|Dialga}}/{{p|Palkia}} in a misguided attempt to close the space-time rift. He again sells items just before the final ascent to the temple.

After Origin Forme {{p|Dialga}}/{{p|Palkia}} is captured, Volo enlists the player for a mission to locate the remaining [[Plate]]s. He splits up with the player to conduct his own research while the player seeks out various [[Legendary Pokémon]] and assembles the missing Plates. They later meet up at the Ancient Retreat again, where they discover that Cogita possessed one of the Plates all along, using it as a cutting board while unaware of its true significance. With only the [[Spooky Plate]] remaining, Volo asks the player to meet him at the [[Celestica Ruins]]. There, he muses about the existence of a Pokémon that could equal Dialga and Palkia, yet was banished to [[Distortion World|a world on the opposite side of the real one]], named {{p|Giratina}}. He grows excited and begins to lose his composure at the thought of how close to uncovering the truth about Hisui's mythology he is. Expressing frustration at the state of the world, he explains that he always sought answers when he faced difficulty in his life and asks the player where a creature like Giratina that wants to fight {{ga|Arceus}} might appear, deducing that it would be the Temple of Sinnoh.

At the temple, Volo observes that it is now ruined, turned into a site where "[[Spear Pillar|pillars now turned into spears stab into the heavens]]". Dropping his false persona, Volo confesses that in order to meet Arceus, he contacted Giratina and had it tear open the space-time rift, which directly caused the Noble Pokémon to rampage and led to the player's arrival in Hisui. He discards his Ginkgo Guild uniform and reveals that he possessed the Spooky Plate all along, demanding that the player hand over the rest so that he may meet and subjugate Arceus, then use its power to destroy and recreate the world. Although he offers the player a chance to stop him by defeating him in battle, he adds that he will not hesitate to use force to collect the Plates for himself. After a long, difficult battle, Volo angrily lashes out at the player, furious that they seemingly arrived from the space-time rift solely to get in his way. However, he excitedly notes the creeping presence of an eldritch being arriving at the ruined temple. Giratina emerges from a portal, and Volo takes control of it, commanding it to strike the player down. A battle against Giratina ensues, but just as it is seemingly defeated, it unleashes its true strength and transforms into its {{form|Giratina|Origin Forme}}.

When Giratina finally falls in battle, it reverts into its {{form|Giratina|Altered Forme}} and flees, causing Volo to fully lose his composure. Denouncing Giratina for fleeing from a human, he cries out in vain to Arceus, desperate to know what qualities it sees him as lacking, and wondering if his defeat means the world does not need to be remade. Volo surrenders the Spooky Plate to the player, telling them that his story ended when he was defeated by them. However, when the player's [[Celestica Flute]] transforms into the [[Azure Flute]], Volo realizes Arceus has chosen the player over him and lashes out again, refusing to stay and watch as they realize his dream of meeting Arceus. Before departing, Volo swears that he will discover all of Hisui's mythological secrets and conquer Arceus, no matter how many years, decades, or centuries it takes him.

He is not seen again for the rest of the game. However, [[Professor Laventon]] later reveals that Volo visited him to encourage him to finish work on the Pokédex as well as telling him that Giratina had a change of heart after losing to the player and tells him that it would likely be the last time they would ever meet.

==== [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]] ====
A man in the [[Lumiose Museum]] mentions that the formal outfit in the museum's Hisui exhibit was personally donated to the collection by its wearer, who spent time observing the Pokémon sketches drawn by Professor Laventon with an air of nostalgia. This implies that Volo may still be alive in the present day, with it having already been implied in Pokémon Legends: Arceus by him saying that he would take even centuries to achieve his goals.

===Pokémon===
Volo's Pokémon usage is similar to [[Cynthia]]'s from her appearance in {{game|Platinum}}. His main companion and partner appears to be his {{p|Togepi}}, who he uses in battle against the player in every fight, evolving into a {{p|Togekiss}} by the time they fight him for the last time. Cynthia not only uses a Togekiss in her {{pkmn|champion}} fight in Platinum, but is known to provide the player with a Togepi {{pkmn|Egg}}. In his second battle, he also uses a {{p|Gible}} which later evolves into a {{p|Garchomp}}, with it also appearing to be his second main companion and partner, a parallel to [[Cynthia's Garchomp|Cynthia's own]]. 5 of the 6 Pokémon in Volo's [[party]] are shared with the champion, with {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Arcanine}} replacing the unavailable {{p|Milotic}}.

Unlike Cynthia, Volo uses the maximum amount of types that can be used at one time, with 12, each of his Pokémon containing a different type combination.

=====Third battle=====
Volo summons {{p|Giratina}} in its {{form|Giratina|Altered Forme}} immediately after his main team is defeated. [[Experience]] is awarded for battling his main team before Volo summons Giratina, but the player is not given a chance to heal. If the player is defeated by Giratina, they must also battle Volo's initial team again. During this battle, Giratina is filled with '''terrible might''' (Japanese: '''すさまじい力''' ''Tremendous Strength''), which boosts all of its stats and causes it to take reduced indirect damage (such as from {{status|poison}} and [[Status condition#Splinters|splinters]]). Upon being defeated, Giratina changes into its Origin Forme and heals itself completely, effectively making the second part of the battle against two Pokémon, and the entire battle against eight.

;Part 1
Volo has a single [[Full Restore]] and will prioritize its use on his {{p|Garchomp}}. The player will gain Experience after Volo's party of six is defeated.

After Giratina's HP is lowered to 0, it will transform into it's Origin Forme, completely recovering HP, PP, and removing status conditions it once had. However, any stat drops or stat buffs will remain upon transformation. Both forms are filled with a terrible might. The player will not gain Experience until Giratina's Origin Forme is defeated.

==Trivia==
* Volo shares many similarities to [[Cynthia]]:
** {{DL|Task|Missions|Mission}} 20, where the player must meet up with Volo, is called The Researcher of Myths, a title by which Cynthia also refers to herself.
** In his final battle, Volo wears a necklace with a teardrop-shaped ornament that resembles the ornament on Cynthia's coat.
** In the final battle against him, Volo shares five Pokémon with Cynthia's {{game|Platinum}} team: {{p|Spiritomb}}, {{p|Garchomp}}, {{p|Togekiss}}, {{p|Roserade}}, and {{p|Lucario}}. Like Cynthia, Volo will always begin the battle by sending out Spiritomb.
*** The only Pokémon that Volo does not use from said team is {{p|Milotic}}, as it is not present in Legends: Arceus. He instead uses {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Arcanine}}.
** The music that plays before Volo's final battle begins is an arrangement of Cynthia's battle theme. His final battle theme is an arrangement of Cynthia's encounter and battle themes.
** After his final battle, Volo vows to meet {{p|Arceus}}, and in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Cynthia meets Arceus during the [[Sinjoh Ruins]] event.
* Volo is the first main antagonist of a core series game to not be affiliated with a [[villainous team]] or equivalent organization, as the Ginkgo Guild does not have any role in his scheme and his only allies are Giratina and his own Pokémon.
* Volo's claim that he is willing to even take centuries to locate and conquer Arceus, and his goal to subjugate Arceus in order to create a peaceful new world, is similar to [[Team Galactic]] and their ambitions. In Platinum, [[Cyrus]]'s plans to accomplish this goal using {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} are disrupted by the intervention of Giratina.
* Volo's appearance once he removes his Ginkgo Guild uniform makes a number of references to Arceus.
** His hair is styled after Arceus's head.
** He wears golden accessories reminiscent of Arceus's own markings.
** He dons clothing called a chiton similar to that worn by ancient Greeks. {{wp|Zeus}}, the central God of the Greek pantheon, may be one of the inspirations for Arceus.
*** In addition, the [[Pokémon movie|movie]] ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', which stars {{OBP|Arceus|M12}}, has a Greek-inspired setting.
** Volo's haircut and outfit, in various colors, can be purchased by the [[player character]] after obtaining {{p|Arceus}}: the Sinnoh Outfit, Sinnoh Sandals, and Sinnoh-style haircut.
* Volo's Celestica clothing can be found on display at the [[Lumiose Museum]] in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]]. A man nearby says that it was donated to the museum by the person who wore it, and that person also looked nostalgically at [[Professor Laventon]]'s artworks on display nearby. It is implied that Volo himself donated it and that he is still alive in the present day.

Arbok variants

2026-02-12T21:36:50Z

OwlsTalon: /* Pokémon Adventures */

There are many '''{{p|Arbok}} {{pkmn2|variant}}s''' found in the {{pkmn|games}}, {{pkmn|animated series}}, {{pkmn|manga}}, and {{Trading Card Game}}.

==Pattern variants==
===In the core series games===
Several of {{p|Arbok}}'s [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] state that its face-like hood markings differ between areas, and that a number of variations have been recorded. Its {{game|Yellow}} Pokédex entry mentions that there are six known patterns, but by the events of {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, its Ultra Sun Pokédex entry mentions that there are more than 20. Around eighteen designs are known, but only nine have appeared in the games, and only five of which appeared in the [[core series]] games.

====Standard pattern====
The most common, "standardized" hood pattern has red, teardrop-shaped eyes outlined in black with yellow, elongated hearts inside, a black mouth, and a black arrow over the eyes, with two red dots near the tip and an upward-extending tail. This design stems from Arbok's {{game|Red and Green|s}} artwork, itself based on Arbok's sprites from the Generation I games (outside of {{game|Yellow}}), only swapping the red and yellow accents.

This hood would become the default one in the mainline games starting with {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, although this was already the design used in the animated series, the manga (except for [[Agatha]]'s Arbok in Pokémon Adventures), and most pieces of artwork (promotional, Dream World/corporate, etc).

====Other patterns====
Arbok also has several hood variations with round eyes and a red mouth outlined in black. The most common depiction of this has two black fangs descending onto its mouth, black eyebrows, and outward-pointing eyelashes. This design first appeared in Arbok's {{game|Red and Blue|s}} artwork, and has also appeared in its {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} sprites.

In [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], and [[Pokémon Blue Version|Blue]], Arbok appear with the eye spots having flipped colors to the standard pattern. The back of the hood has two w-shaped marks.

In [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Pokémon Yellow]], Arbok appear similar to the standard pattern. However, the mouth-like marking comes to a flat arrow-like edge. The back sprite is shared with the other [[Generation I]] games.

Another hood variation with round eyes appeared in [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Gold, Silver]], and [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Crystal]]. This pattern has no fangs or eyebrows, a pointier mouth, and its eyelashes point upward.

Another design appeared on the sleeve of the [[Game Boy: Entire Pokémon Sounds Collection CD]], featuring diamond-shaped eyes, a slim mouth, and two black marks by the sides of the "face".

In [[Pokémon Adventures]], the standard form seen in the [[core series]] games is known as the "regenerative pattern". It is seen on [[Koga]]'s Arbok.

==Shiny Arbok==
{{main|Arbok (Pokémon)|section=Sprites}}
Arbok's {{Shiny}} colors:
* In [[Generation II]] only, Arbok's Shiny sprite consisted of a gray body with purple markings. It had brown eyes in its regular form and purple eyes in its Shiny form. In {{game|Crystal}} only, possibly due to palette limitations, its had a white tongue in both forms.
* From [[Generation III]] onwards, the regular and Shiny Arbok share black eyes. Its Shiny form has a dark yellow body with blue markings. From Generation III to {{game|Black and White|s}}, the inside of Shiny Arbok's mouth was blue, matching the color of its blue markings.
* From {{game|Black 2 and White 2|s}} onwards, Shiny Arbok shares the same color of the inside of its mouth as regular Arbok, no longer matching the blue of its markings but instead introducing a new color to its palette.
* In [[Pokémon HOME]] only, the markings on Shiny Arbok are lighter, and the inside of its mouth becomes a lighter pink.

'''Eevee''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イーブイ''' ''Eievui'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into one of [[Eeveelution|eight different Pokémon]] through various methods.
* Since [[Generation I]]:
** Eevee evolves into {{p|Vaporeon}} when exposed to a [[Water Stone]].
** Eevee evolves into {{p|Jolteon}} when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]].
** Eevee evolves into {{p|Flareon}} when exposed to a [[Fire Stone]].
* Since [[Generation II]]:
** Eevee evolves into {{p|Espeon}} when [[friendship Evolution|leveled up with high friendship]] during the [[Time-based Evolution|day]] or with a [[Sun Shard]] in the [[Player character|player's]] [[Bag]].
** Eevee evolves into {{p|Umbreon}} when leveled up with high friendship during the [[Time-based Evolution|night]] or with a [[Moon Shard]] in the player's Bag.
* Since [[Generation IV]]:
** Eevee evolves into {{p|Leafeon}} when leveled up near a [[Moss Rock]] or when exposed to a [[Leaf Stone]].
** Eevee evolves into {{p|Glaceon}} when leveled up near an [[Ice Rock]] or when exposed to an [[Ice Stone]].
* Since [[Generation VI]]:
** Eevee evolves into {{p|Sylveon}} when leveled up while knowing a {{type|Fairy}} [[move]] and having high friendship or at least two hearts of [[affection]].
(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]] for these details.)

Additionally, Eevee has two [[#Form data|forms]]: the '''{{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|partner}} Eevee''' and '''Gigantamax Eevee'''. It can [[Gigantamax]] into Gigantamax Eevee if it has the {{DL|Gigantamax|Gigantamax Factor}}. The partner Eevee and Eevee with the Gigantamax Factor cannot evolve.

Eevee is the [[game mascot]] of and the [[List of the player's first Pokémon|player's first Pokémon]] in {{LGPE|Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!}}. It also serves as the player's first Pokémon in {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}} and {{g|Conquest}}. It also is the first Pokémon employee in {{g|Café Mix}}. In {{game|Yellow}}, [[Professor Oak]] had originally intended to give Eevee to the player as their first Pokémon, but it is taken by {{ga|Blue}} instead.

==Biology==
Eevee is a small, {{wp|mammal}}ian, quadrupedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with primarily brown fur. The tip of its bushy tail and its large furry collar are cream-colored. It has short, slender legs with three small toes and a pink paw pad on each foot. Eevee has brown eyes, long pointed ears with dark brown interiors, and a small black nose.

Eevee has an unstable and irregularly shaped genetic structure that causes it to mutate when exposed to the radiation of [[Evolution stone]]s. Its DNA is easily influenced by its environment, which allows it to suddenly and perfectly adapt to harsh habitats by [[Evolution|evolving]] into one of [[Eeveelution|eight different Pokémon]]. The reason why only Eevee has such unusual genes, which are the key to solving the mysteries of Evolution, remains unknown. Even its face can end up becoming similar to that of its {{pkmn|Trainer}}. Eevee is an extremely rare Pokémon mostly found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|cities and towns}}. In {{g|Sleep}}, it is suggested that it dreams about which form it will evolve into in the future.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>

Eevee is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Extreme Evoboost}}.

===Forms===
Eevee has two forms: the {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|partner}} Eevee and [[Gigantamax]] Eevee.

====Partner Eevee====
The partner Eevee has purple eyes and a lighter shade of fur. These design elements were likely taken from ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', which implemented similar traits starting in {{aniseries|AG}}. It has higher [[base stat]]s than a normal Eevee and can use [[move]]s its regular counterpart cannot. The white tip on a [[Variant Pokémon#Eevee|female partner Eevee]]'s tail has larger, rounder scallops than other Eevee, taking the shape of a heart. Before {{g|Sword and Shield}}, this trait was unique and wasn't found on other female Eevee. However, it has since been implemented into regular Eevee as a [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender difference]]. As a result, {{g|GO}} was updated to apply this change to all female Eevee as well.

The partner Eevee is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the [[move]]s {{m|Bouncy Bubble}}, {{m|Buzzy Buzz}}, {{m|Sizzly Slide}}, {{m|Glitzy Glow}}, {{m|Baddy Bad}}, {{m|Sappy Seed}}, {{m|Freezy Frost}}, and {{m|Sparkly Swirl}}, as well as the partner power {{m|Veevee Volley}}.

====Gigantamax Eevee====
As [[Gigantamax]] Eevee, it has become larger. Its fur collar becomes longer with several triangular furs pointing straight up, and its right ear has three red clouds circling it. Due to its fur becoming fluffier and more luxurious, any enemies caught in it will become enamored and lose the will to fight. Eevee becomes even friendlier and more playful and rambunctious after Gigantamaxing, desiring to play with its opponent and often unintentionally crushing them with its size.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/gigantamax-eevee/ Gigantamax Eevee | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>

Gigantamax Eevee is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Cuddle}}.

===Form data===
Eevee has two forms: the {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|partner}} Eevee and [[Gigantamax]] Eevee. Only Gigantamax Eevee is recognized by an in-game [[Pokédex]] (in {{g|Sword and Shield}} and {{g|HOME}}). Partner Eevee has only been named in promotional materials.<ref>[https://pokemonletsgo.pokemon.com/en-us/story/ Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! | Experience the World of Pokémon]</ref>

====Partner Eevee====
The {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|partner}} Eevee is the Pokémon the player starts with in {{LGPE|Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!}}. [[Gender|Female]] partner Eevee also have a [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|distinct pattern]] on their tail (although this was applied to all female Eevee in subsequent [[generation]]s); male Partner Eevee and standard Eevee of either gender have the same pattern. It has higher base stats than normal Eevee. Unlike other Eevee, the partner Eevee can learn the exclusive moves {{m|Bouncy Bubble}}, {{m|Buzzy Buzz}}, {{m|Sizzly Slide}}, {{m|Glitzy Glow}}, {{m|Baddy Bad}}, {{m|Sappy Seed}}, {{m|Freezy Frost}}, and {{m|Sparkly Swirl}}, as well as having access to the [[partner power]] {{m|Veevee Volley}}.

The partner Eevee is not differentiated from standard Eevee in {{LGPE}}'s Pokédex, and it cannot be transferred out of the games.

====Gigantamax====
[[Gigantamax]] Eevee can only be obtained through special methods, and the {{DL|Gigantamax|Gigantamax Factor}} cannot be [[Pokémon breeding|bred]].

===Evolution data===
Eevee can evolve into eight different Pokémon (collectively called [[Eeveelution]]s).

Eevee can always evolve into {{p|Vaporeon}}, {{p|Jolteon}}, or {{p|Flareon}} when exposed to a [[Water Stone]], [[Thunder Stone]], or [[Fire Stone]], respectively.

Since [[Generation II]], Eevee can evolve into {{p|Espeon}} or {{p|Umbreon}} when [[friendship Evolution|leveled up with high friendship]] (220 before [[Generation VIII]] or 160 since) during the [[time|day]]/night, respectively. In a few games without a [[time|clock]], it cannot evolve into Espeon or Umbreon; in {{Pokémon XD}} only, Eevee will evolve if the player has the [[Sun Shard]]/[[Moon Shard]] in their [[Bag]].

Since [[Generation IV]], Eevee can evolve into {{p|Leafeon}} or {{p|Glaceon}} when it levels up near a [[Moss Rock]] or [[Ice Rock]], respectively. Not all games have Moss and Ice Rocks, so since [[Generation VIII]], Eevee can also evolve into Leafeon or Glaceon when exposed to a [[Leaf Stone]] or [[Ice Stone]].

Since [[Generation VI]], Eevee can evolve into {{p|Sylveon}} if it knows a {{type|Fairy}} [[move]] and has high [[affection]] (at least two levels) when it levels up. Since affection was folded into [[friendship]] in [[Generation VIII]], it can evolve if its friendship is at least 160 instead.

If multiple [[Methods of Evolution|evolutionary conditions]] are met simultaneously, {{p|Leafeon}} and {{p|Glaceon}} are prioritized over {{p|Sylveon}}, and Sylveon is prioritized over {{p|Espeon}} and {{p|Umbreon}}.

The {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|partner Eevee}} and Eevee with the {{DL|Gigantamax|Gigantamax Factor}} cannot evolve. Since {{LGPE}} only include the first 151 Pokémon, Eevee can only evolve into Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon in those games. Similarly, {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} does not feature Sylveon.

==Trivia==
* Eevee was designed by [[Motofumi Fujiwara]].<ref name=EVs/><ref>[https://twitter.com/atsuko_nishida/status/783643367523557376 Tweet by AtsukoNishida (@atsuko_nishida).] Posted on October 5, 2016.</ref>
* Eevee's English name is a {{wp|palindrome}}.
**Its English name also contains only two unique characters, less than any other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s English name.
** It is one of five Pokémon whose English name is palindromic, with the other four being {{p|Girafarig}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Alomomola}}, and {{p|Farigiraf}}.
** In early English promotional material for {{pkmn|Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue}}, Eevee was called "Eon", the suffix of all of its evolved forms.
* Eevee is:
** the Pokémon with the most [[List of Pokémon with branched Evolutions|branched Evolutions]] (and evolved forms in general), with eight, and the only one with more than four.
** the only Pokémon with branched Evolutions in [[Generation I]].
** the only evolving Pokémon that cannot evolve into a Pokémon that it shares at least one [[type]] with (though {{p|Azurill}} also had this trait prior to it and {{p|Marill}} gaining the {{type|Fairy}} in [[Generation VI]]).

* Eevee and its Evolutions are the subject of [[Eevee Day]], an officially recognized observance celebrated annually on November 21 (11/21), which is {{wp|goroawase}} for "i-i-bu-i", Eevee's Japanese name. It was certified by the Japan Anniversary Association in 2018.<ref name="EeveeDay">(November 21, 2018). "[https://prtimes.jp/main/html/rd/p/000000049.000026665.html 正式認定！11月21日は「イーブイの日」!!]" 株式会社ポケモン ([[The Pokémon Company]]) on PR Times.</ref>
* The fan-made term to describe Eevee's Evolutions, "[[Eeveelution]]", was made official after its use in the strategy guide for {{g|Stadium 2}}, followed by {{TCG|Eeveelution|a TCG Theme Deck}}.
* Only the Generation I evolved forms of Eevee maintain its distinctive ruff in their designs. The later [[generations]]' evolved forms dropped this motif entirely.
* Four of Eevee's evolved forms evolve through abnormal means in the {{g|Mystery Dungeon series}} ({{p|Espeon}}, {{p|Umbreon}}, {{p|Leafeon}}, and {{p|Glaceon}}).
** In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, Eevee evolves using the {{DL|Mystery Dungeon evolutionary items|Sun Ribbon}} or {{DL|Mystery Dungeon evolutionary items|Lunar Ribbon}} with at least 1 star of [[IQ]], a {{DL|Mystery Dungeon evolutionary items|Mossy Rock}}, or a {{DL|Mystery Dungeon evolutionary items|Frozen Rock}} into its respective evolved forms.
** In {{vg|Pokémon Ranger}}, all of Eevee's evolved forms up to [[Generation III]] can be [[Caught Pokémon|caught]]; however, Eevee itself is completely unobtainable. This was changed in {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}.
* Despite Eevee being obtainable before the {{un|Pokémon League}} and Leafeon and Glaceon being included in the [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|Unova regional Pokédex]] in {{B2W2}}, it cannot evolve into them until after entering the [[Hall of Fame]]. This is because [[Twist Mountain]] and [[Pinwheel Forest]] are inaccessible before then.
* All of Eevee's Evolutions up to {{p|Sylveon}} were of types that had been considered [[special moves|special]] before [[Generation IV]]. The only special move type not included is the {{t|Dragon}} type.
* Eevee and {{p|Pikachu}} are the only non-fully evolved Pokémon with exclusive [[Z-Move]]s.
* Despite the fact that {{an|May}}, {{Gary}}, and [[Sakura]] each owned an Eevee that went on to evolve, Eevee was never seen evolving onscreen in {{aniseries|PTS}} until ''[[DP174|Last Call — First Round!]]'', when [[Ursula]] evolved her two Eevee into {{p|Flareon}} and {{p|Vaporeon}} during a Contest appeal, over thirteen years into the series.
* As a species, Eevee has appeared in the [[Party|teams]] of the most main characters in ''Pokémon the Series'', with {{an|May}}, {{an|Serena}}, and {{an|Lana}} each owning one.
** This also makes Eevee the only Pokémon in the series to have been owned by more than two different main characters.
* Eevee has more [[signature moves]] than any other Pokémon, with a total of eleven.
* Between {{LGPE}} and {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, Eevee used its {{pkmn|animated series}} [[cry]] alongside {{p|Pikachu}}. From {{g|Legends: Arceus}} onward, Eevee's cry switched back to its traditional game cry.

===Origin===
In the 2018 artbook ''EVs'', [[Motofumi Fujiwara]] revealed that the idea for Eevee came from [[Satoshi Tajiri]]'s request to have a Pokémon that evolves into multiple types. Fujiwara himself designed Eevee as a "blank slate" for its varied Evolutions; as such, while Eevee has traits of foxes, dogs, and cats, it is not based on any specific animal. Fujiwara also envisioned Eevee as a creature that could exist "in people's memories"; namely, vague memories of seeing a cat or dog-like creature that players might have experienced in their childhood.<ref name=EVs>(2018) ''EVs''. ([http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-eevee-origins/ English translation] written by Anthony Madry and commissioned by Dr. Lava)</ref><ref>Morrissy, Kim (September 11, 2018). "[https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2018-09-10/pokemon-designers-reflect-on-history-of-eevee-design/.136529 Pokémon Designers Reflect on History of Eevee's Design]". ''Anime News Network''.</ref> Its fluffy tail makes its design lean more towards foxes, especially considering that foxes are often seen as shapeshifters in Japanese folklore, which is reflected in the variety of its evolved forms.

====Name origin====
Eevee and Eievui are pronunciations of ''E-V'', the first two letters in the word [[Evolution]].<ref name=EVs/>

'''Castform''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ポワルン''' ''Powalen'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Castform changes [[#Form data|forms]] with its {{a|Forecast}} [[Ability]] depending on the current [[weather]].
* During any weather not listed below or outside of {{pkmn|battle}}, Castform is in its '''Normal''' form and is {{type|Normal}}.
* During {{weather|harsh sunlight}}, Castform is in its '''Sunny Form''' and is {{type|Fire}}.
* During {{weather|rain}}, Castform is in its '''Rainy Form''' and is {{type|Water}}.
* During {{weather|hail}}, Castform is in its '''Snowy Form''' and is {{type|Ice}}.

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

==Biology==
Castform is an {{pkmn2|artificial}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{a|Forecast|changes appearance}} and attitude based on the [[weather]]. Its body is made of cells exactly like those of water molecules, causing its cellular structure to be chemically altered by temperature and humidity. Though not of its free will, Castform uses this ability to protect its tiny body. In its Normal form, it resembles a plain, gray cloud with a single wisp extending from the top of its head. Regardless of the form it takes, it always has a large, spherical head and a lighter-colored mask-like marking over its eyes. Various experiments were conducted to change its form in artificial conditions, but all have failed. Despite its man-made origins, it can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grassland areas}}.

Castform is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Forecast}} as an [[Ability]]. In [[Generation III]], {{m|Weather Ball}} was its [[signature move]].

===Forms===
Castform has three alternate forms: Sunny Form, Rainy Form, and Snowy Form.

====Sunny Form====
Under harsh sunlight, it takes on its Sunny Form. Its lower half becomes pure white, while the head turns orange and develops small orange spheres around it. This gives it the overall appearance of the sun above a small cloud. Its skin glows and dries, and becomes hot to the touch.

====Rainy Form====
When it is soaked in rain, it takes on its Rainy Form. It has a dark gray lower half resembling a storm cloud. The head turns blue and resembles a raindrop. Its body is soft and slippery and seeps with water when compressed.

====Snowy Form====
When it is hit by hail, it takes on its Snowy Form. Its head turns purplish-blue. The rest of the body changes into the shape of a mint green, {{wp|cumulonimbus cloud}}. Its body becomes a smooth ice-like material, partially frozen measuring temperatures near {{tt|23 degrees Fahrenheit|−5 degrees Celsius}}.

===Form data===
Castform has four interchangeable forms, which it switches between based on the [[weather]] in {{pkmn|battle}}s and {{pkmn|Contest}}s, due to its [[Ability]] {{a|Forecast}}. Each of its forms has a different [[type]] to match the weather. Castform was the first Pokémon to have interchangeable forms.

By default, Castform is in its Normal form and is {{type|Normal}}. It is always in this form outside of battles and contests. It begins battles in this form and reverts to this form if [[Recall|withdrawn]]. It has this form in any weather that does not trigger another form, or if the weather has its effects negated by an active Ability. In [[harsh sunlight]], Forecast changes Castform into its Sunny Form, which is {{type|Fire}}. In [[rain]], Forecast changes Castform into its Rainy Form, which is {{type|Water}}. In {{weather|hail}}, Forecast changes Castform into its Snowy Form, which is {{type|Ice}}.

In Generations {{gen|III}} and {{gen|IV}}, if Forecast is suppressed or replaced, Castform will remain in its current form (regardless of the weather). From [[Generation V]] onward, if Forecast is suppressed or replaced, Castform will revert to its Normal form (regardless of the weather).

Castform's {{m|Weather Ball}} will usually receive {{STAB}} in any of its forms, except in a sandstorm, under {{m|Shadow Sky}}, or if it loses {{a|Forecast}}.

Castform's forms cannot be viewed in the forms section of the {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} Pokédex, nor do they appear on the field in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. All of Castform's forms will appear in the forms section of the HeartGold and SoulSilver Pokédex upon obtaining one, even if it never transformed.

Prior to [[Generation VIII]], unlike most Pokémon with [[form]] differences, Castform's alternate forms had no {{Shiny}} variations of their own, so only the Normal form of a Shiny Castform would look different. Its Shiny forms were first seen in {{g|HOME}}; they first became directly obtainable in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} (though they were also released in {{g|GO}} starting March 24, 2021<ref>[https://pokemongolive.com/post/weather-week-2021/?hl=en Therian Forme Thundurus brings rain and wind to Weather Week!]</ref>).

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

==Other appearances==
{{missing image|section}}
Castform was featured as one of the Pokémon released from a Poké Ball in the demo of [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] that appeared at {{wp|Jump Festa}}.

==Trivia==
* Castform is the lightest {{Type|Normal}} Pokémon.
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky]], Castform has a body size of 4, despite it being a body size 1 in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team}} and having the same in-game sprite in Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness. This is due to all 4 forms of Castform's sprites being loaded into the game's memory at once, meaning that it is the equivalent of 4 Pokémon with a body size of 1 each in terms of memory. 
* Before [[Generation VII]], Castform's Normal form was classified by Pokédex color sorting as white.
* Castform is the only Normal-type Pokémon in the {{egg3|Amorphous}}.
* Sunny Form Castform is tied with {{form|Rotom|Heat}} {{p|Rotom}}, {{p|Litwick}}, and {{p|Scorbunny}} for the [[List of Pokémon by height|shortest]] {{type|Fire}} Pokémon.
** Snowy Form Castform is tied with Frost Rotom and {{p|Snom}} for the shortest {{type|Ice}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Castform}}
Castform resembles a living {{wp|cloud}} and acts like weather in general, but it may also be based on a {{wp|weather balloon}}. It is similar in both concept and design to a ''{{wp|teru teru bōzu}}'', a Japanese charm doll used to wish for good weather. Its forms and their types may have originated from the English saying "rain, hail, or shine". Its shape of a large sphere with two smaller orbs resembles an H2O molecule, matching how it is said to be composed of molecules similar to water.

Conceptually, Castform may also draw inspiration from or be intended to contrast with the {{wp|weather rock}} concept. These are stones jokingly hung up as a low tech way to tell the weather. They are intended to parody the poor forecasting of more complicated modern instruments. Given Castform's artificial origins and design to predict weather, but failure to transform until after the weather is already present, it may be comparable to the opposite extreme of a weather rock.

The Sunny Form looks like the {{wp|Sun}} on a cloud, the Rainy Form resembles a droplet of rain on a dark cloud, and the Snowy Form looks like a gust of wind or an ice cream cone.

====Name origin====
Castform may be a combination of ''forecast'' (the prediction of weather) and ''transform'' or ''form'' (referring to its ability to change form depending on the weather).

Powalen may be a combination of ポワン ''powan'' (onomatopoeia of a sudden transformation, similar to "poof" in English) and 変わる ''kawaru'' (to change or transform).

'''Brycen''' (Japanese: '''ハチク''' ''Hachiku'') is an {{wp|actor}} who is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Icirrus City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Icirrus Gym]]. He [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Ice}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He gives the {{badge|Freeze}} to Trainers who defeat him.

==In the core series games==
Brycen appears in {{game|Black and White|s}} as the [[Gym Leader]] of Icirrus City's Gym. This Gym will be the seventh to be challenged by the {{player}}. Trainers who defeat Brycen will receive the Freeze Badge, along with {{TM|79|Frost Breath}}. He also reappears at [[N's Castle]] where he and the other [[Unova]] Gym Leaders hold off the [[Seven Sages]].

After successfully defeating Brycen in a Gym battle, [[Cheren]] and [[Bianca]] are waiting for the player outside of the Gym. Brycen notices the Shadow Triad, who are invisible to everyone else, and demands they reveal themselves. The Shadow Triad does so and tells the player to head to [[Dragonspiral Tower]].

Once at Dragonspiral Tower, the player must battle through {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s to reach the top. At one point Brycen and Cheren stay behind to hold off Team Plasma while the player goes ahead. After the player reaches the top floor and N flies away with Zekrom{{sup/5|B}}/Reshiram{{sup/5|W}}, Brycen arrives and asks what happened. Later, Brycen helps [[Cedric Juniper]] investigate Dragonspiral Tower.

In the past, Brycen was a movie star, but retired from acting after injuring himself during the filming of a reckless action scene. Unsure of what to do with himself, he took the advice of [[Alder]] and became a {{pkmn|Trainer}}. He traveled alone to an icy cave and trained in silence to gain as much knowledge as possible. Brycen also places importance on concealing his true identity from others. He later decided to return to acting following the downfall of Team Plasma's first incarnation, hoping to communicate the need for a bond between Pokémon and people with his films.

In {{B2W2}}, Brycen is no longer a Gym Leader in Unova, having retired to continue acting. However, he appears in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] as a participant along with other Gym Leaders, and can be talked to at his former Gym. He also appears at [[Pokéstar Studios]] as a {{tc|Movie Star}}, playing the roles of '''Brycen-Man''' (Japanese: '''ハチクマン''' ''Hachiku-man''), a villain in the [[Brycen-Man Series]], and '''Mecha Cop''' (Japanese: '''メカポリス''' ''MechaPolice'') in the [[Full Metal Cop Series]].

[[File:Brycen Beartic Scene.png|thumb|220px|left|Brycen and his Beartic in a movie called "Enter the Beartic".]]
====''Pokémon the Series: Black & White''====
Brycen debuted in ''[[BW078|Guarding the Guardian of the Mountain!]]'', where he and his {{p|Beartic}} saved {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} from a falling boulder. {{an|Cilan}} was the first to recognize him as a famous movie star who had the lead role in many movies, up until he decided to quit acting during production of another movie. He explained that he had come to the mountains for training and started to find traps set up by [[Pokémon hunters]].

Ash was interested in Brycen's training and tried to copy him and Beartic with his {{AP|Krokorok}}, without any good results. During the break in his training, he was asked why he decided to not act in movies anymore, and he explained it was because of an accident that happened onset. Nobody was hurt, but he felt that the accident wouldn't have happened if he was trained better.

Later, Brycen stopped Pokémon hunter [[Rizzo]]'s attempt to capture a {{p|Volcarona}} by defeating his two {{p|Jellicent}} with his Beartic. After [[Officer Jenny]] carted Rizzo off to jail, he found out that Ash was on his way to [[Icirrus City]] in order to battle the [[Gym Leader]]. It was then that he revealed that he was the Gym Leader of the [[Icirrus Gym]], surprising everyone.

After making it to Icirrus City in ''[[BW079|Caution: Icy Battle Conditions!]]'', Ash faced Brycen at the Icirrus Gym. In the end, Ash's Krokorok, despite being at a type disadvantage, was able to win against Beartic and secure Ash the {{badge|Freeze}}.

He reappeared in a flashback in ''[[BW103|Curtain Up, Unova League!]]''.

====[[Pokémon movie]]s====
Brycen also made a cameo appearance in the ending credits of ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.

====Character====
Brycen is intensely focused on and off the battlefield. He trains in the mountains around [[Icirrus City]] to improve his physical strength and mental sharpness for his role as [[Gym Leader]] and as an action movie star. Brycen is also incredibly fit, capable of holding a handstand with ease.

|desc=Brycen has a {{p|Beartic}} as his main Pokémon. Aside from being his battling partner, Beartic had also starred in some movies alongside him. It was first seen in ''[[BW078|Guarding the Guardian of the Mountain!]]'', training with Brycen at the mountains near [[Icirrus City]]. Initially, {{an|Iris}} was scared of it. It was later used to stop Pokémon hunter [[Rizzo]] and his two {{p|Jellicent}}, and save the Mountain Guardian, {{p|Volcarona}}.

In ''[[BW079|Caution: Icy Battle Conditions!]]'', it was the third and final Pokémon used by Brycen during Ash's Gym {{pkmn|battle}} with him. It was able to easily defeat {{AP|Pignite}} despite the type disadvantage with its supereffective Brine and Aerial Ace attacks, leaving Ash with just {{AP|Krokorok}}. Beartic was repeatedly able to block Krokorok's attacks, until the Desert Croc Pokémon finally scored direct hits on it with {{m|Stone Edge}} and {{m|Dig}}. After this, Krokorok grabbed two stones from his own Stone Edge, and collided with Beartic's Aerial Ace with the stones in his hands, defeating the Freezing Pokémon and earning Ash the {{badge|Freeze}}.

As shown in ''[[BW082|An Epic Defense Force!]]'', Beartic has its own footprint at [[Pokéstar Studios]]'s Walk of Fame.

It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[BW103|Certain Up, Unova League!]]''.

Beartic's known moves are {{m|Ice Punch}}, {{m|Brine}}, {{m|Icicle Crash}}, and {{m|Aerial Ace}}.}}

He was, however, able to block Vanillish's Icicle Spear with his "pants" before firing a {{m|Focus Blast}}. By a stroke of luck, Focus Blast hit Vanillish from behind, and Scraggy was able to finish the Icy Snow Pokémon with a {{m|Headbutt}}.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Skyla Brycen Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Brycen in Pokémon Adventures]]
====History====
=====Past=====
Brycen was an action movie star that excelled in martial arts. After a serious accident, he resigned from acting and became a Gym Leader.

====={{MangaArc|Black & White}}=====
Brycen, along with his fellow Gym Leaders, first appears at the [[Celestial Tower]] to discuss what to do about Team Plasma. Later, he and the other Gym Leaders travel to [[Nacrene City]] to help [[Lenora]] face the [[Shadow Triad]] in order to protect the [[Dark Stone]] from being stolen. With his powerful martial arts techniques, Brycen easily gained the upper hand over the thieves.

[[File:Brycen-Man Adventures.png|thumb|left|130px|Brycen as Brycen-Man in the {{MangaArc|Black 2 & White 2}}]]
Although it seemed like Brycen had defeated the Shadow Triad, he and the other Gym Leaders fall to the Shadow Triad's trump card, the {{adv|forces of nature}}. Soon, it was revealed that Brycen escaped, and followed {{adv|Black}} to where the Dark Stone was being kept, only for it to turn out to be a {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}} in disguise. Team Plasma managed to take the Dark Stone, but it was revealed that the real Brycen actually did escape by substituting himself with an ice sculpture. Brycen finds an unconscious Black in the Dark Stone holding area along with the other Dragon Stone, the [[Light Stone]]. Brycen decides to train Black and takes him away to Icirrus City. Afterward, he took Black to the [[Tubeline Bridge]], where he had the Trainer train his team to get stronger. After Black had finished several steps, he was taken to the Icirrus Gym for his final training—a Gym battle against Brycen. After Brycen is defeated, he hands over the Light Stone to Black.

At the Pokémon League, Brycen decides to search for clues on the kidnapped Gym Leaders. After remembering that they had no memories of the kidnapping, Brycen suspects that the Pokémon League competitor [[Colress|Hood Man]] may have something to do with it due to possessing {{p|Beheeyem}}, a Pokémon that can alter memories. To help with this investigation, Brycen enlists the help of {{adv|White}}. While White investigates the League, Brycen digs down to Team Plasma's castle, where he is confronted by five of the Seven Sages. He attempts to retaliate, only to stop once he finds out that [[Hawes]] is being used as a hostage. Brycen is approached by [[Ghetsis]], who attacks and knocks him unconscious. When Team Plasma attacks the League, Brycen is held up on a crucifix along with the other Gym Leaders. Soon after, he is freed by [[Shoko]]'s {{p|Patrat}} and assists in the battle against Team Plasma.

====={{MangaArc|Black 2 & White 2}}=====
Two years later, Brycen is revealed to have quit being a Gym Leader to go back to acting in Pokéstar Studios. In a Brycen-Man movie, he plays the titular character and faces off against {{adv|Whitley}}, who plays the role of {{p|Foongus}} Girl. Whitley easily wins, but the battle is interrupted by [[Big Monster Series|Mecha Tyranitar]], which someone had forgotten to turn off. The Mecha Tyranitar causes havoc until {{adv|Blake}}, playing the role of {{p|Dewott}} Kid, comes in and saves the day. Afterward, Brycen talks with Whitley and Blake's teacher, [[Cheren]]. Although Brycen remembers Cheren from his Badge quest, Cheren confesses that he doesn't have any memory of anything past his adventure with Black in the Cold Storage. Brycen notes that there's a vacant Gym Leader spot in Aspertia City and suggests that Cheren take it, much to Cheren's surprise.

Brycen was first seen in the [[Icirrus Gym]] where he and his {{p|Beartic}} were dealing with Team Plasma. He then explained to {{OBP|Touya|MWL}} and his friends about {{p|Zekrom}}. While Touya went after [[N]], he stayed behind with [[Cheren]] and [[Bianca]] to fend off the remaining Team Plasma Grunts.

List of unobtainable Shiny Pokémon

2026-01-08T16:20:01Z

OwlsTalon: /* Intentionally unobtainable Shiny Pokémon */

This is a '''list of unobtainable [[Shiny Pokémon]]''' in the [[Pokémon games]].

==Availability==
In all [[generation]]s since Shiny Pokémon debuted, there are a few species that cannot be legitimately obtained as Shiny. These Pokémon are commonly referred to as '''{{DL|Appendix:Fan_terminology|Shiny-locked}}''' by fans. This can happen if the Pokémon is coded not to appear as Shiny in the {{pkmn2|wild}} or via in-game {{pkmn2|gift}}s or [[in-game trade|trade]]s and has never been distributed as Shiny via {{pkmn2|event}}s.

However, with the exception of [[Pikachu in a cap]], the [[Partner Pokémon (Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!)|partner]] {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Eevee}}, and {{p|Magearna}} (Magearna's standard form is missing its Shiny form in [[Generation VII]] only), all of these Pokémon have Shiny variants in their respective games' code, regardless of their availability. Moreover, {{p|Castform}}'s Rainy, Sunny and Snowy Forms lacked Shiny colorations in the [[core series]] until {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, having the coloration in [[Pokémon GO]] and [[Pokémon HOME]] prior.

Starting from {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, all in-game event Pokémon encounters, such as [[Legendary Pokémon]], are programmed to never be Shiny.

===Intentionally unobtainable Shiny Pokémon===
{{incomplete|needs=Game abbreviations and notes for version exclusive, DLC exclusive, and other conditionally available shinies species/forms}}
The following is a non-comprehensive list of notable species that have been subject to Shiny locks in a given game, or generation, with some having extremely limited conditions for being obtained as Shiny.

* Shiny Pokémon denoted with a '''✔''' can be obtained in-game, either in a specific version, denoted by abbreviations for said game(s), or the generation as a whole.
* Shiny Pokémon denoted with a '''~''' could not be obtained in-game directly, but could be acquired through [[Event Pokémon|event distributions]] or [[transfer]] from other games.
* Shiny Pokémon denoted with a '''✘''' could not be obtained by any means, either in a specific version, denoted by abbreviations for said game(s), or the generation as a whole.

===In Generations I and II===
In [[Generation II]], shininess is determined by a Pokémon's [[IV|DV]]s. This causes several {{DL|Shiny Pokémon|quirks}} with the availability of certain species and [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forms]] in these games.

====Generation I availability====
Due to correlations between [[Pseudorandom number generation|pseudorandom numbers]] in the [[Generation I]] games, Pokémon encountered in those games in [[tall grass]], on [[cave tile]]s, or by {{m|Surf}}ing on [[water tile|water]] cannot have a set of DVs that would allow them to be Shiny in Generation II. [[Fishing]] encounters, [[gift Pokémon]] (including from [[Pokémon Stadium]]), stationary Pokémon (such as {{p|Snorlax}} and {{p|Mewtwo}}), and [[in-game trade]]s can have any set of DVs, so they always have the same 1/8192 chance of having a Shiny DV combination.<ref>[http://wiki.pokemonspeedruns.com/index.php?title=Pokémon_Red/Blue_Wild_DVs Pokémon Red/Blue Wild DVs]</ref>

The following table lists all Pokémon with restricted Shiny availability in a Generation I game which are not covered in the table above due to their availability also being limited in future generations. All Pokémon which cannot be obtained Shiny in Generation I can be found in Generation II with a normal Shiny rate.

'''Brock''' (Japanese: '''タケシ''' ''Takeshi'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Pewter City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Pewter Gym]]. He gives the {{Badge|Boulder}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him in {{pkmn|battle}}. He [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Rock}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==In the core series games==
Brock appears in the [[Kanto]]-based games as the [[Gym Leader]] of the [[Pewter Gym]], which is the first [[Gym]] that the {{player}} challenges on their {{pkmn|journey}}. He is one of the few truly serious professional [[Pokémon Trainer]]s in the [[Pewter City]] area, and many people respect and admire him. He is quite proud of his rock-hard willpower, and uses {{type|Rock}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to complement this. He rarely laughs or drops his serious demeanor, but when he does, he finds it hard to stop. In his free time, he likes to dig for [[Fossil]]s in [[Mt. Moon]]. In addition to the {{badge|Boulder}}, Brock gives out {{TM|34|Bide}} in {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, {{TM|39|Rock Tomb}} in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, and {{TM|01|Headbutt}} in {{LGPE}}.

In Pokémon Yellow, Let's Go, Pikachu!, and Let's Go, Eevee!, Brock mentions that he is training to become a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}, a {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} that does not exist in these games. This is a [[List of cross-canon references|reference]] to the goal of his {{an|Brock|animated series counterpart}}. In Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, Brock decides to postpone this goal to have daily [[rematch]]es with the player after they have become {{pkmn|Champion}}. In Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, the player also meets Brock in [[Celadon City]], where he gives the player the [[Tea]] required to enter [[Saffron City]]. During this encounter, it is revealed that he is obsessed with pretty girls, just like his animated series counterpart.

Three years later, in the [[Johto]]-based games, Brock remains the Gym Leader of the Pewter Gym, which can be challenged before or after any other Gym (except the [[Viridian Gym]]) during the player's travels through [[Kanto]]. He is surprised to hear that the player is from the Johto [[region]], and happily accepts their challenge. While he does not give out a TM in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, he gives out {{TM|80|Rock Slide}} in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, after all 16 [[Badge]]s have been obtained, Brock can be found in [[Diglett's Cave]] near Pewter City on any day between noon and 3 PM, and will offer his [[Pokégear]] number if spoken to. If he is called on [[Days of the week|Saturday]] [[Time|night]]s, he will be up for a rematch at the [[Fighting Dojo]] in [[Saffron City]]. After his Pokégear number has been obtained, he will reappear in Diglett's Cave every day between 5 PM and 8 PM, and the player can have a [[photography|photograph]] taken with him there. If he is spoken to in Diglett's Cave on a Saturday, he will offer to [[trade]] a {{p|Rhyhorn}} that knows {{m|Thunder Fang}} for a {{p|Bonsly}}.

In {{B2W2}}, Brock appears alongside the other Gym Leaders of [[Kanto]] as an opponent in the [[Kanto Leaders Tournament]] at the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]. He also participates alongside the other Gym Leaders of Kanto, Johto, [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Unova]] in the [[World Leaders Tournament]], and other Rock-type experts in the Rock [[Type Expert Tournament]].

==Quotes==
{{main|Brock/Quotes}}

==In animation==
[[File:Brock doctor outfit.png|thumb|250px|Brock in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
{{main|Brock (anime)}}
In {{aniseries|PTS}}, like later Gym Leaders, Brock appeared primarily as an opponent to [[Ash Ketchum]] in his [[EP005|debut episode]]; unlike later Gym Leaders, he requested to join Ash on his {{pkmn|journey}}, aiming to be the world's greatest {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}. In doing so, Brock left the Gym in the hands of his father, {{ka|Flint}}, who had finally revealed himself to have returned from his journey. Brock advised Ash throughout the [[Kanto]] [[region]], then left briefly during the [[Orange Islands]] arc to assist [[Professor Ivy]]. He returned to Ash's side in [[Johto]], and with brief returns to [[Pewter City]] at the end of each series, joined him for his journeys in [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]] as well. However, towards the end of {{aniseries|DP}}, Brock decided to become a {{tc|Doctor|Pokémon Doctor}} and parted ways from traveling with Ash. Despite this, Brock reunites with Ash from time to time, meeting up with him in {{aniseries|SM}}. More recently, he reappeared in {{aniseries|JN}} for a [[Pokémon: The Arceus Chronicles|four-part special]] set in Sinnoh and resumed traveling with Ash before returning home.

Brock mainly provides an advisory role to the other main characters of ''Pokémon the Series'', being several years older than the rest of them. His knowledge of Pokémon battles is great, causing him to often referee matches between Ash and others. Brock also fancies himself as something of a ladies' man, though each time he hits on someone he is either rejected outright; pulled away by {{an|Misty}} or [[Max]]; or, more recently, {{m|Poison Jab}}bed by his {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}.

===Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Brock Poké Balls PO.png|250px|thumb|left|Brock in Pokémon Origins]]
In [[Pokémon Origins]], Brock is the only Gym Leader to have a key role other than [[Giovanni]]. Much like his role in the {{pkmn|games}}, Brock is the Gym Leader of the Pewter Gym.

Brock is first seen in ''[[PO01|File 1: Red]]'', watching a [[Pokémon battle]] between {{OBP|Red|Origins}} and {{OBP|Blue|Origins}}. After Red is defeated, Brock talks to Red and teaches him about the basics of Pokémon battling and training.

A calm, eloquent, and dignified young man, Brock is presented as both wise and experienced in the field of Pokémon.

Later, Red discovers that Brock is the Gym Leader of Pewter City and goes to challenge Brock to earn his first Badge. There, they have a Gym battle in which Brock teaches Red about type matchups and strategy. Brock is shown to have many Pokémon, and selects Geodude and Onix when Red confirms that he has no [[Badge]]s. This implies that all Gym Leaders have Pokémon of varying strengths in reserve in order to keep each challenge a fair fight. After a lengthy and tough battle, Red eventually defeats Brock by using all of his Pokémon to slowly weaken Brock's Onix until it falls. Having lost the battle, Brock awards Red with the Boulder Badge and {{TM|34|Bide}}. After imparting some final words of wisdom, Brock sends the blossoming Red on his way.

Unlike most other characters in Pokémon Origins, whose designs were based on their {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} designs, Brock's design is more akin to his {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} design.

===GOTCHA!===
Brock briefly appeared in [[GOTCHA!]].

==In the manga==
===Ash & Pikachu===
{{main|Brock (anime)#Ash & Pikachu|Brock (anime)}}
Brock appears in [[Ash & Pikachu]], a {{pkmn|manga}} based on the {{pkmn|animated series}}. Like in the animated series, he is a traveling companion of {{Ash}} alongside {{an|Misty}}.

===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
{{main|Brock (anime)#The Electric Tale of Pikachu|Brock (anime)}}
As [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] is based on the {{aniseries|OS}}, {{an|Brock}} is a commonly recurring character, although he does not appear in every chapter and he does not travel with {{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}} constantly.

===Magical Pokémon Journey===
[[File:Ash and Brock MPJ.png|thumb|200px|Ash and Brock in Magical Pokémon Journey]]
Brock, along with {{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}}, make cameo appearances in bonus chapters of [[Magical Pokémon Journey]]. In the bonus chapters, Brock and co. have mistakenly wandered into the world Magical Pokémon Journey is set in. The bonus chapters chronicle their attempts to return to their own world (of the {{pkmn|animated series}}) and their encounters with various aspects of the Magical Pokémon Journey canon which differ from the animated series' canon (such as the use of [[Poké Ball]]s).

===Movie adaptations===
[[File:DP series trio.png|thumb|200px|Brock with his friends]]
As Brock has appeared in every movie prior to ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'', he has appeared in every manga adaptation of it. His team in the manga adaptations are the same as in the films.

===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Brock Misty Erika Blaine Adventures.png|thumb|251x251px|Brock's (top) current appearance in Pokémon Adventures]]
Aside from being a Gym Leader, Brock also works as a security guard at the [[Pewter Museum of Science]].

====History====
====={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}=====
Brock debuts in ''[[PS005|Onix Is On!]]'', though he is mentioned earlier by {{adv|Blue}} in ''[[PS004|Wanted: Pikachu!]]'', who described him as being bored by no one being able to defeat him, or even get past the preliminaries. To gain access to Brock, a Trainer must win several rounds of battles against special Trainers of the Gym, and all of those battles are watched by him from a special room.

Brock is a brave Trainer, and he assists [[Erika]] and [[Misty]] in their {{pkmn|battle}}s against [[Team Rocket]]. He also gave {{adv|Yellow}} a {{p|Graveler}} after the good [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Kanto]] battled [[Agatha]]'s mind-controlling {{p|Gastly}}. However, he is also shown to be quick to anger and restless in his search for a good battle, and when discovering that {{adv|Red}}'s [[Pika]], the only remaining Pokémon of his, was disobedient, deemed his wins "dumb luck" and sought for a finisher attack instantly. However, when the boy begins to gain his Pokémon's trust, it chooses to fight for him and defeats his Onix.

====={{MangaArc|Yellow}}=====
After {{adv|Blaine}} figured out that Red must have been at [[Mt. Moon]] before going missing, Brock volunteered to search there, since Mt. Moon is closest to [[Pewter City]]. He then found a cast of Red frozen in ice there and contacted Blaine. Before all of the information could be exchanged, he found out that [[Pewter City]] was under attack by a group of [[Bruno]]'s {{p|Machop}} that was searching for Brock's {{badge|Boulder}}, and he left to protect it.

====={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}=====
A few years later, he, along with Erika and Misty, traveled to [[Johto]] for the Gym Leader Tournament at the [[Indigo Plateau]], where he faced off against the expert of the newly discovered {{type|Steel}}, [[Jasmine]]. He lost the match and later fought against Team Rocket on the [[Magnet Train]].

The other five first appeared in ''[[PS064|Putting It On The Line...Against Arcanine]]''. They often grasp each others' wrists in order to circle around Brock to protect him. During the {{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}, they used their {{m|Magnitude}} to stop the Magnet Train. However, the impact sent it off course, causing it to almost crash before it was saved by {{adv|Red}}'s {{p|Snorlax}}, [[Snor]].}}

|desc={{p|Onix}} is arguably Brock's most powerful Pokémon and is apparently well known for its speed, which causes shock waves when it moves. Onix was first used in battle against {{adv|Red}}'s {{p|Pikachu}}, [[Pika]]. Despite the type advantage, Onix was defeated by the small Electric-type after it came to fight for Red of its own will. Three years later, Onix was sent out by Brock to use as a bridge when a bridge in the [[Tohjo Falls]] went out while Brock, Erika, and Misty were heading to Johto, during which Misty is joined by {{p|Suicune}}. However, it itself collapsed when they were all attacked by a large group of {{p|Zubat}}, {{p|Golbat}} and {{p|Crobat}}. Once the group finally made it to the Indigo Plateau, Brock used Onix in his battle with [[Jasmine]]. It lost to [[Jasmine's Steelix]], which he initially mistook as an Onix of a different variety due to its rock covering used to hide the fact that it was a new, undiscovered species at the time.}}

It knows many ancient attacks and is a very powerful member of Brock's team; it was able to easily hold its own against Jasmine's {{p|Ampharos}}, [[Amphy]], nearly winning him the match despite the type disadvantage.

Kabutops's only known move is {{m|Ancient Power}}, and its Ability is {{a|Battle Armor}}.}}

===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
Brock debuted in ''[[PM003|Take Out The Rival Onix!!]]''. Before {{PPM|Red}} arrived in Pewter City, {{PPM|Green}} got there and took Brock on. However, Brock was brutally strong as he managed to knock Green and his {{TP|Green|Charmander}} back into a window. The impact caused him to tell Red about Brock's strength. Despite Green's advice, Red decided to go to the Gym anyway. Red noticed Brock's collection of Pokémon he had caught over the years and one of them turned out to be {{TP|Red|Clefairy}}'s cousin, {{TP|Red|Pikachu|Pikachu (Pocket Monsters)}}. Brock then came and Red had his first Gym battle with him. Red used Clefairy while Brock used {{TP|Brock|Onix}}. Clefairy managed to defeat Onix by having it chase its own tail, earning Red the {{badge|Boulder}}.

Brock reappeared in ''[[PMRSs1|Clefairy, Form Teacher Of Class 1P!!]]'' in a form of a cameo. He was seen wearing his outfit from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.

==In the TFG==
{{TFG ID|Next Quest|Brock|39}} appears as a rare {{TFG|Trainer figure}} in the launch set, {{TFG|Next Quest}}, of the [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game]].

==Trivia==
* In {{5v2|Red|Blue|Yellow|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, all of Brock's {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are part {{type|Ground}} as well as part {{type|Rock}}.
* Despite being a Rock-type [[Type expert|expert]], none of Brock's Pokémon in [[Generation I]] know any Rock-type [[move]]s, only knowing {{type|Normal}} ones. This was changed in FireRed and LeafGreen.
* In Pokémon Yellow, Brock's {{p|Onix}} knows {{m|Bind}} at [[level]] 12, despite Onix not learning the move until level 15 in that generation.
* Brock is one of two [[Gym Leader]]s not to give the {{player}} a [[TM]] of his specialty type, the other being [[Falkner]]. This is only true in Generations I and VII, however, as in FireRed and LeafGreen, Brock's chosen TM changed from {{TM|34|Bide}} to {{TM|39|Rock Tomb}}.
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Brock trades the player a Rhyhorn knowing {{m|Thunder Fang}} (an [[Egg Move]]) in exchange for a {{p|Bonsly}}. This may be a reference to his {{an|Brock|animated series counterpart}}, who is a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} and once owned a [[Brock's Sudowoodo|Bonsly]].
* As seen in HeartGold and SoulSilver, Brock's [[Trainer ID number]] is 06845.
* Out of all of Brock's Pokémon in the [[core series]] games, only three do not suffer from a double weakness to {{t|Grass}}: {{p|Rampardos}}, {{p|Aerodactyl}}, and {{p|Tyranitar}}.
* In the [[Pokémon Stadium series]], Brock has been shown with several non-Rock-type Pokémon that his animated series counterpart would later come to own, namely {{p|Golbat}} in {{pkmn|Stadium}}'s Round 2 fight, {{p|Forretress}} in {{pkmn|Stadium 2}}'s Round 1 fight, and {{p|Steelix}} in Stadium 2's Round 2 fight.
* Brock shares his French name (Pierre) with {{Steven}}, the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Hoenn]] [[region]].
* It can be inferred from conceptual art that Brock wasn't originally planned to be the first Gym Leader in {{2v2|Red|Green}}.<ref>https://twitter.com/SUPER_32X/status/611129653110026241</ref>

'''Magikarp''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''コイキング''' ''Koiking'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Gyarados}} starting at [[level]] 20.

==Biology==
[[File:Magikarp Jump Pattern 30.png|thumb|left|200px|The "Blue Raindrops" variety of Magikarp]]
Magikarp is a {{wp|fish|piscine}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with large, heavy reddish-orange scales. It has large, vacant eyes and pink lips. Its {{wp|fish fin|pectoral}} and tail fins are white. On its back is a stiff, three-peaked yellow fin, resembling a crown; there is an identical fin on its underside. It also has long {{wp|barbel (anatomy)|barbels}}. The barbels are white on a female and pale-yellow on a male.

A long-lived Magikarp is able to utilize its immense splashing power to leap high enough to scale mountains. It also has a strong enough immune system to survive in the most polluted of waters. However, it is usually overlooked by Trainers because of its slow movements and physical weakness: even in the heat of battle, it will do nothing but flop around. It is believed that the ancestors of Magikarp were actually much stronger than modern Magikarp, and this led scientists to research this species.

Magikarp is found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|many bodies of water}}, such as lakes, rivers, and ponds. However, due to its weak swimming ability, it usually lives downstream of the water's flow. In [[Generation I]], {{m|Splash}} was its [[signature move]]. It is often seen using Splash to leap out of the water, which makes it an easy target for predators such as {{p|Pidgeotto}} and {{p|Pidgeot}}. {{p|Frillish}} is also known to prey on Magikarp.

In [[Hoppy Town]], there are at least [[Variant Pokémon#Magikarp|31 unique pattern varieties]] of Magikarp, with their scales coming in colors such as gray, black, white, purple, pink, violet, apricot, and brown. These patterns can be classified by groups, depending on how the Magikarp looks while it is still small; a specific pattern arises when it becomes bigger. Which patterns can be caught depend on the type of Old Rod; the better the rod, the more groups of patterns can be fished. The people in Hoppy Town train their Magikarp to jump the highest in order to compete in a series of [[League]]s to win prizes.

===Evolution===
Magikarp evolves into {{p|Gyarados}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:Magikarp Red Battle Chess.png|thumb|Magikarp in Pokémon Battle Chess]]
* In the [[Generation I]] games, Magikarp, {{p|Slowpoke}}, and {{p|Rhyhorn}} are the only Pokémon to have their [[List of Pokémon icons in Generations I and II|icon]] changed upon [[Evolution]].
* Magikarp and {{p|Gyarados}} are the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that can be obtained without a [[trade]], [[transfer]], or {{pkmn2|event}} in every [[core series]] game.
* Out of all Pokémon, Magikarp, {{p|Jigglypuff}}, and {{p|Horsea}} are tied for the largest number of core series games in which they can be encountered and {{pkmn2|caught}} in the {{pkmn2|wild}}. The only core series games in which Magikarp cannot be found in the wild are {{game|Black and White|s}}.
* Magikarp, Gyarados, and {{p|Regigigas}} are the three Pokémon that can be encountered in the {{pkmn2|wild}} at the lowest and highest levels. In {{game|Platinum}}, Magikarp can be found at levels ranging from level 1 to 100 in the [[Resort Area]], and in {{B2W2}}, it can be found at the same levels in the [[Nature Preserve]]; both require a [[Super Rod]].
** Furthermore, Magikarp can be encountered at level 100 in the rightmost lake of [[Fellhorn Gorge]] in [[Kitakami]].
* Magikarp and its evolved form require the fewest [[Egg cycle]]s to hatch, with five.
** Magikarp and its evolved form are also the only Pokémon with a [[List of Pokémon by breeding attributes|unique base Egg cycle]].
* Magikarp was the first Pokémon featured in [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Lecture]] in [[EP061]].
* Magikarp and its evolved form's [[Egg Group]] combination ({{egg|Water 2}} and {{egg|Dragon}}) is unique.
* Magikarp is one of fourteen Pokémon that one could collect [[foreign Pokédex entries]] for in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* Magikarp shares several notable similarities to {{p|Feebas}}:
** Its level-up moves are exactly the same as those of Feebas.
*** However, Feebas can learn multiple moves from [[TM]]s and [[HM]]s, hatch from an Egg with [[Egg Move]]s, and learn new moves via Move Tutors, making it slightly more useful in battle.
** Magikarp shares its {{pkmn|category}} name with Feebas. They are both known as the Fish Pokémon.
** Magikarp and Feebas have almost identical stats. However, Magikarp has a higher {{stat|Special Attack}} and {{stat|Defense}}, while Feebas has a higher {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Defense}}. Both Attack and Defense stats for Magikarp and Feebas are reversed.
** They share the largest base stat total increase of all Pokémon when they evolve: 340 (from 200 to 540).
** They both change appearances drastically after Evolution, evolving into serpentine, dragon-like Pokémon.
* Magikarp has the lowest base {{stat|Attack}} stat of all {{type|Water}} Pokémon.
** Magikarp is also tied with {{p|Caterpie}}, {{p|Weedle}}, {{p|Igglybuff}}, {{p|Carvanha}}, {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Attack Forme}} {{p|Deoxys}}, and {{p|Stonjourner}} for having the lowest base {{stat|Special Defense}} stat of all Pokémon.
* Magikarp is the only Pokémon which can be found in every [[Pokémon Snap]] course except [[Rainbow Cloud]], which features only {{p|Mew}}.
* Together with {{p|Pichu}}, {{p|Rattata}}, {{p|Ninjask}}, {{p|Goldeen}}, and {{p|Seedot}}, Magikarp is the easiest Pokémon to catch in {{vg|Pokémon Ranger}}, with only one loop necessary.
* Magikarp is the only Pokémon in [[Pokémon Conquest]] that uses a move that it does not share a type with, as it uses {{m|Splash}}.
* On July 28, 2016, and May 12, 2017, [[The Pokémon Company]] and [[The Pokémon Company International]] respectively posted a Magikarp-themed music video onto their YouTube channels, titled [[the Magikarp Song]].
* Magikarp appears in {{DL|Pokémon Battle Chess|Pokémon Battle Chess}}. It doesn't behave like any traditional piece in chess. When damaged, it reveals Gyarados.
* Although Magikarp is stated by multiple Pokédex entries to be "the weakest Pokémon", there are several Pokémon with lower [[base stats|base stat totals]], such as {{p|Sunkern}}, or with access to fewer viable moves, such as {{p|Unown}} only being able to learn {{m|Hidden Power}}, and {{p|Cosmog}} and {{p|Cosmoem}} being unable to learn any damaging moves at all.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Magikarp}}
Magikarp appears to be based on the {{wp|Asian carp}}, which are easily frightened by disturbances in water and can jump 8–10 feet (2.5–3 m.) in the air. Its Shiny coloration may be a visual pun on a {{wp|goldfish}}. The golden dorsal fin of Magikarp may be based on a crown which likely originate from the pun on the Japanese word for goldfish 金魚 ''Kingyo''. Magikarp's permanently open mouth may be a reference to ''{{wp|koinobori}}'', a carp-shaped {{wp|windsock}} traditionally flown to celebrate {{wp|Children's Day (Japan)|Children's Day}} in Japan.

Magikarp's Evolution into Gyarados may be based on a legend about how carp that leaped over the {{wp|Longmen (mythology)|Dragon Gate}} would become dragons. Several waterfalls and cataracts in China are believed to be the location of the Dragon Gate. This legend is an allegory of the drive and efforts needed to overcome obstacles. This may have inspired an element in {{g|Snap}} where, after certain steps are taken, a Magikarp can splash its way into a waterfall where it evolves, as well as in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, as there is a waterfall in the Fabled Springs area of the [[Coronet Highlands]] where a school of Magikarp can be found at the plunge pool of the waterfall, while a small population of Gyarados can be found at the edge of the waterfall.

====Name origin====
Magikarp may be a combination of ''magic'' (referring to its drastic power increase upon evolving into Gyarados or to magical goldfishes) and ''{{wp|carp}}''.

Koiking may be a combination of 鯉 ''{{wp|koi}}'' (carp) and ''king'', which may come from 金魚 ''Kingyo'' (goldfish).

{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen}}
'''Pokémon FireRed Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターファイアレッド''' ''Pocket Monsters Firered''<ref name="romaji">Trademarked title</ref>) and '''Pokémon LeafGreen Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターリーフグリーン''' ''Pocket Monsters Leafgreen''<ref name="romaji" />) are a pair of [[core series]] [[Generation III]] games that are set in the [[Kanto]] [[region]]. They were released in Japan on January 29, 2004, in North America on September 9, 2004, in Australia on September 23, 2004 and in Europe on October 1, 2004.

As the first [[remake]]s in the Pokémon franchise, the games revisit the original pair of Pokémon games, {{game|Red and Green|s|Pokémon Red and Green Versions}}. The remakes feature the characters, plot elements, and challenges from the originals, along with several updates introduced in Generation III.

The [[Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter]] was initially included with the games when they were first released, eliminating the need for [[Game Link Cable]]s when trading between the two games (and later {{game|Emerald}}). In later copies, it was sold separately.

FireRed and LeafGreen went on to become the second best-selling games on the [[Game Boy Advance]], only behind {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. They also received [[Nintendo]]'s ''{{wp|Nintendo Selects|Player's Choice}}'' awards.

FireRed and LeafGreen are the first of two remakes to take place in the region of Kanto, and were followed by [[Generation VII]] games [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] in 2018.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The plot follows the same storyline as [[Generation I]], with the {{player}} beginning in [[Pallet Town]]. After meeting up with [[Professor Oak]] while trying to leave for {{rt|1|Kanto}}, both the player and their [[rival]] are asked by Oak to choose a [[first partner Pokémon]]—{{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}}—from the desk near him. Oak allows the player to choose first and the [[rival]] quickly gets jealous, chooses the first partner Pokémon whose [[type]] is super effective against the player's first partner Pokémon, then challenges the player to a {{pkmn|battle}}. During this battle, [[Professor Oak]] commentates.

After the battle, Oak allows the two new Trainers to leave for their {{pkmn|journey}} across [[Kanto]]. Stopping in [[Viridian City]]'s [[Poké Mart]], the player will find that a [[Parcel|package]] has come in for the professor, and the clerk asks that it be delivered to him. After this has been completed the professor gives one [[Pokédex]] to the player and one to the rival, and sends them on their way. Viridian City has a Gym; however, it is locked.

From here, the player has their first encounter with other Trainers, on {{rt|2|Kanto}} and in [[Viridian Forest]], and their first encounter with a [[Gym Leader]]: [[Brock]] the {{type|Rock}} Gym Leader of [[Pewter City]]. After his defeat, journeying along {{rt|3|Kanto}} and through [[Mt. Moon]] brings the player face to face with the regional [[villainous team]], [[Team Rocket]], who are attempting to extract rare [[Fossil]]s from the cave. Their defeat allows the player to continue through the cave, obtain the [[Dome Fossil]] or [[Helix Fossil]] which can be regenerated into {{p|Kabuto}} and {{p|Omanyte}}, and continue onto {{rt|4|Kanto}}, which leads directly into [[Cerulean City]], where another [[Gym]] is. This one, however, is run by [[Misty]], and specializes in {{type|Water}} Pokémon. To the north, as well, there are two [[route]]s leading up to [[Bill]]'s cottage. On the way, the player is confronted with a trainer who tries to persuade them to join [[Team Rocket]]. When the player reaches [[Bill]]'s cottage and frees him of his transformation into a {{p|Clefairy}}, he will give the player a ticket for the [[S.S. Anne]], a luxury ship moored in {{DL|Vermilion City|Port|Vermilion Harbor}} and filled with Trainers. Taking a shortcut through a house burglarized by Team Rocket, the player finally arrives at {{rt|5|Kanto}}.

After traveling down Routes 5 and {{rtn|6|Kanto}}, using the {{OBP|Underground Path|Kanto Routes 5–6}} to bypass [[Saffron City]], the player finally arrives in {{ci|Vermilion}}. This city is home to another Pokémon Gym; however, the way to it is blocked by a small tree. The only thing to do is to show the ticket to the {{tc|Sailor}} guarding the harbor, allowing entry into the S.S. Anne. It is here, after assisting the captain with his seasickness, that the player will obtain the first of the seven [[HM|Hidden Machines]] available in the game, containing {{m|Cut}}. With this, and the {{Badge|Cascade}}, the tree blocking the way to Vermilion Gym can be easily cut through, and [[Lt. Surge]], a Gym Leader specializing in {{type|Electric}}s, can be challenged. From here, {{rt|11|Kanto}} beckons, as does [[Diglett's Cave]], through which is the only way to get back to {{rt|2|Kanto}}, and a second HM, containing {{m|Flash}} held by one of [[Professor Oak]]'s aides on {{rt|2|Kanto}}. The player takes a brief detour to Pewter City's museum's back entrance which was previously blocked due to a Cut-able tree, which can now easily be bypassed. The player obtains the [[Old Amber]] in the museum. Heading back to Diglett's Cave, and to Vermilion, the player must go to Cerulean and to the east, onto {{rt|9|Kanto}} and towards the [[Rock Tunnel]].

Rock Tunnel, a still undeveloped natural tunnel between the sections of {{rt|10|Kanto}}, is pitch black inside; for this reason, {{m|Flash}} is recommended, but not required, for navigation of it. Finally reaching [[Lavender Town]], the only town in Kanto without a Pokémon Gym besides Pallet, there is not much to do; the local [[Pokémon Tower]] is haunted. From here, {{rt|8|Kanto}} leads to Saffron City, but it again must be bypassed by way of another {{OBP|Underground Path|Kanto Routes 7–8}}, which has its other entrance on {{rt|7|Kanto}}, on the west side of Saffron. [[Celadon City]], the home of the fourth Gym which specializes in {{type|Grass}} Pokémon, is just a short walk further. Like the Vermilion Gym, the Celadon Gym also has a small tree blocking the way to its entrance, and an old man outside.

The [[Celadon Game Corner|Rocket Game Corner]] in Celadon is not what it appears to be. In fact, the Game Corner itself is merely the above-ground portion of a sprawling underground complex: the [[Team Rocket Hideout|Rocket Hideout]]. The Team Rocket boss, Giovanni, appears for the first time here, and after his defeat, flees, leaving behind a Silph Scope. A Silph Scope is required to fully navigate the Pokémon Tower inside of Lavender Town that the player encountered earlier.

After this, the Pokémon Tower can be navigated, and the ghosts haunting it are revealed to be {{p|Gastly}} and {{p|Haunter}}. In front of the stairs to the final floor, blocking the way, is also a final spirit, that of a deceased {{p|Marowak}} that was killed by Team Rocket when they captured her child. Making it all the way to the top reveals [[Mr. Fuji]] held hostage by Team Rocket grunts, who will leave when they are defeated. Fuji gives away the [[Poké Flute]], and with that, the {{p|Snorlax}} blocking {{rt|11|Kanto}} and {{rt|16|Kanto}} can finally be moved away. Another HM, containing {{m|Fly}}, can be obtained easily by cutting away a tree blocking the northern section of Route 16.

Now the player is presented with a choice of how to get to [[Fuchsia City]]. Traveling down either way the Snorlax are blocking, a faster way via Routes 16, {{rtn|17|Kanto}}, and {{rtn|18|Kanto}} on [[Kanto Route 17|Cycling Road]], or down the {{DL|Kanto Route 12|Silence Bridge}} of Routes {{rtn|12|Kanto}}, {{rtn|13|Kanto}}, {{rtn|14|Kanto}}, and {{rtn|15|Kanto}}, inevitably brings one to the southernmost city in continental Kanto, [[Fuchsia City]], home of [[Koga]] of the {{t|Poison}}ous Fuchsia Gym and the [[Kanto Safari Zone]]. The Safari Zone is currently running a contest: the person to reach a specific rest house first will win yet another HM, containing {{m|Surf}}. Finding the [[Baoba|Safari Zone Warden]]'s [[Gold Teeth]] also will have him reward the player with the final of Kanto's HMs, containing {{m|Strength}}.

The player then goes back to either [[Celadon City]] or [[Lavender Town]], encountering the other {{p|Snorlax}} on the way back. After stopping off at the [[Celadon Condominiums|Celadon Mansion]] and getting some [[Tea]], Saffron City can finally be entered. However, Team Rocket is guarding almost every door in the city, including that of the local Pokémon Gym! One of the open buildings, however, is the unofficial Fighting-type Pokémon Gym. After the player defeats the Fighting Dojo, they are entitled to either a {{p|Hitmonchan}} or a {{p|Hitmonlee}}. The city's centerpiece building, [[Silph Co.]]'s headquarters, has also been infiltrated by the organization, and at the top, waiting in the boardroom, is the Team Rocket Boss, [[Giovanni]], appearing for a second time, demanding that the president give him the [[Master Ball]] that the company had developed. After his defeat, he flees.

After Team Rocket clears out of [[Saffron City]], all buildings previously blocked are now open, as well as the Gym. The Gym Leader, [[Sabrina]], specializes in {{type|Psychic}}s. The floor, as well, is covered in warp tiles that make it difficult to navigate. After Sabrina's defeat, the player makes their way back to Fuchsia City again and heads out to obtain the rest of the Badges.

With six Badges in hand, and five HMs in the [[TM Case]], finally the player can adventure onto the open sea of Routes {{rtn|19|Kanto}} and {{rtn|20|Kanto}}. A short way across them, of course, is a minor obstacle: the [[Seafoam Islands]]. After they have been navigated through, the player can continue on Route 20 to [[Cinnabar Island]], home of [[Blaine]]'s {{type|Fire}} Gym. There are also several more facilities on the island, including one that actually revives Pokémon [[Fossil]]s. After Blaine's defeat, [[Bill]] shows up again, because he needs help in a small region south of Kanto, the [[Sevii Islands]]. If the player accepts, the [[Seagallop|Seagallop Ferry]] will travel to {{OBP|One Island|town}}, where a friend of Bill's, [[Celio]], is attempting to connect the islands' PC system to that of Kanto. During this, there is also a crisis in {{OBP|Two Island|town}}, where the daughter of the owner of the [[Joyful Game Corner]] has gone missing, and in {{OBP|Three Island|town}} where a group of invading {{tc|Biker}}s are causing trouble. After defeating them and finding the lost girl, [[Lostelle]], who is in [[Berry Forest]], Bill and the player will return to Kanto, where the final Gym, that of Viridian City, lies.

Finally unlocked, the Gym, whose leader specializes in {{type|Ground}}s, is revealed to be none other than the boss of Team Rocket himself, [[Giovanni]]! After his defeat, he vows to disband Team Rocket and disappears. Now with eight Badges, all that lies ahead is the [[Pokémon League]] at [[Indigo Plateau]], conveniently at the end of {{rt|23|Kanto}}.

The [[Elite Four]] await challengers, those who have proven themselves worthy by getting all eight Badges and making it through {{ka|Victory Road}} will face them, in order. [[Lorelei]], who [[Pokémon training|trains]] {{type|Ice}} Pokémon is first, followed by [[Bruno]], whose specialty is {{t|Fighting}}, [[Agatha]], whose specialty is {{t|Ghost}}, and finally [[Lance]], who specializes in {{type|Dragon}}s. After defeating these four, the reigning [[Pokémon Champion]] challenges the player to a final battle, and the Champion is none other than the player's own rival! After his defeat, Oak arrives and tells the player that they won because they care better for their Pokémon, and the player's current [[party]] are added to the [[Hall of Fame]].

===Post-game===
After the credits roll, the player is back in Pallet Town. [[Professor Oak]] will have the player come to his lab to check on the Pokédex. If the player has obtained at least 60 Pokémon he will then upgrade it to the [[National Pokédex]] and ask the player to go back to the Sevii Islands to encounter Pokémon that Professor Oak has never before seen.

There is some more work that Celio needs to do on his network machine, as he wishes to link to yet [[Hoenn|another region]]. The signal, however, is not strong enough, and he needs the {{i|Ruby}} and the {{i|Sapphire}}, two items found in the Sevii Islands, to strengthen it. The Ruby is found deep in a cave in [[Mt. Ember]], which Team Rocket grunts have been seen fooling around with. The Sapphire lies at the deepest part of the [[Dotted Hole]] in [[Ruin Valley]]. The Ruby can be given to Celio without a hitch; however, the Sapphire, when found, is stolen by a {{tc|Scientist}} named [[Gideon]], who takes it back to Team Rocket's [[Rocket Warehouse|warehouse]] in the [[Five Isle Meadow]]. By infiltrating the warehouse and defeating the remaining Rocket Admins, they realize that Giovanni has disbanded Team Rocket. They do, however, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|vow to return one day}}, and bring Team Rocket back to its former glory. Gideon reluctantly gives back the Sapphire, and after this, trades are possible with the [[Hoenn]]-based {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. The Elite Four can once again be challenged, and their Pokémon are 12 levels higher, with some of them possessing new Pokémon. In addition, [[Cerulean Cave]] is now open, and the powerful {{p|Mewtwo}} can be found there. {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Suicune}}, or {{p|Raikou}} will also begin roaming the Kanto region, depending on whether the player chose {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}}, respectively, as their first partner Pokémon.

==Changes from Pokémon Red and Green==
===Gameplay===
[[File:FireRed First Battle.png|thumb|240px|The battle screen]]
* A new female character {{ga|Leaf}} is introduced as an alternative to the male character {{ga|Red}}, who was the only playable character in [[Generation I]].
* A resume feature was introduced, allowing players to remember the four most important events they achieved in the games the last time they were played. After entering the [[Hall of Fame]], the resume feature displays the last four notable things the player has done recently instead of showing a specific event.
* A game introduction feature, which explains the controls of the game, was added. This feature continued to appear in all games in [[Generation IV]].
* The [[Help System]] was added, which can be activated by pressing the L or R buttons on the console. There is also another help feature in the form of the [[Teachy TV]], which is given by an {{ka|old man}} in [[Viridian City]].
* A new southern region, the [[Sevii Islands]], is accessible, where [[Generation II]] Pokémon can be caught. Notably, most of these Pokémon cannot be found in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}.
* Pokémon attacks now use Generation III mechanics instead of Generation I, such as {{m|Bite}} now being a Dark-type move.
* [[Team Rocket]] has an expanded role in the game's post-game storyline, with a new base in the Sevii Islands.
* Pokémon can {{pkmn|breeding|breed}} in the [[Pokémon Day Care]] in {{OBP|Four Island|town}}. The daycare on {{rt|5|Kanto}} remains, but it is still limited to only caring for one Pokémon at a time.
* The Ability {{a|Pickup}} has been modified from {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, which also includes that some of the {{Berries}} from those versions can be picked up in FireRed and LeafGreen. This is due to the inability to grow Berries in [[Kanto]]. The other Berries can only be collected by trading Pokémon from those versions as well as {{v2|Emerald}}.
* A man is present in a house in [[Cerulean City]] and will help create [[Berry Powder]] via [[Berry Crush]]. This powder can then be exchanged for rare and valuable items.
* {{pkmn|Trainer}}s outdoors can be rebattled using the [[Vs. Seeker]].
* Information on major characters, such as [[Gym Leader]]s, is recorded in the [[Fame Checker]].
* The [[Dowsing Machine|Itemfinder]] can now detect hidden [[Coin (Game Corner)|coins]] in the [[Celadon Game Corner|Rocket Game Corner]].
* Three additional aides for Professor Oak have been added to reward the player with items that were introduced in Generations II and III, while a returning aide now gives out the [[Exp. Share]], the upgraded version of the Generation I item Exp. All.
* Pokémon movelists are updated to include moves introduced in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]].
* The [[TM]] list is shared with other Generation III games. In addition, [[Move Tutor]]s become available to teach moves formerly contained in [[Generation I]] TMs.
* The [[Elite Four]] and {{pkmn|Champion}} can be rebattled, and acquire {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} on their teams after the [[Sevii Islands]] quest has been completed.
* {{m|Blast Burn}}, {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, and {{m|Hydro Cannon}} are available as Move Tutor moves at [[Cape Brink]] on [[Two Island]]. They can only be taught to the final evolved form of the player's [[first partner Pokémon]], or other members of that same species.
* There is a new minigame corner, the [[Joyful Game Corner]], on [[Two Island]], where players can connect together, along with {{v2|Emerald}}, and can play multiplayer minigames ([[Pokémon Jump]] and [[Dodrio Berry Picking]]) over the [[Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter|wireless communication system]]. This feature becomes usable after the events at [[Three Island]].
* [[Cerulean Cave]] in these games is very similar to the one in {{2v2|Red|Green}}. The only difference is the Generation III addition of [[breakable rock]]s.
* It is now possible to [[Flight|Fly]] to the [[Pokémon Center]]s in Routes [[Kanto Route 4|4]] and [[Kanto Route 10|10]].

===Pokémon===
* As in all [[Generation III]] {{pkmn|games}}, Pokémon now have [[nature]]s, [[Ability|Abilities]], and [[gender]]s, and can [[held item|hold items]].
* {{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Magneton}} now are {{2t|Electric|Steel}}, as they have been since [[Generation II]]. In the original {{v2|Red and Green|s}} games, they were pure {{type|Electric}}.
* Pokémon retain their Generation II and III [[List of Pokémon by evolutionary line|evolutionary lines]] (e.g. {{p|Golbat}} can evolve into {{p|Crobat}}), but cannot evolve into these new stages until after the player has obtained the [[National Pokédex]]. {{p|Eevee}} is the only exception to this, since {{p|Espeon}} and {{p|Umbreon}} cannot be obtained due to the lack of a clock system in the game, and trading between the other Generation III games is required to obtain them.
* Several Pokémon locations and availability have been changed:
** Both Nidoran, originally available to catch on Route 22 before Brock are now located on Route 3 which can only be accessed after Brock.
*** On Route 5-6, an NPC originally trading a female Nidoran for male in Japanese Red and Green while a male for a female in English Red and Blue instead now trades a female Nidoran for a male in LeafGreen and a male for a female in FireRed, with the one with higher encounter rate being traded for the one with lower encounter for both versions.
*** Nidoran can no longer be obtained from Game Corner like in Generation I.
** Ditto is no longer available on the route outside Victory Road like in Red and Blue but can be found in Pokémon Mansion like in Yellow.
** {{p|Magmar}} (LeafGreen only) and {{p|Ponyta}} have been moved to new locations. Ponyta is now located on One Island's [[Kindle Road]], and Magmar is now at [[Mt. Ember]]. In Generation I, they were both found in the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} on [[Cinnabar Island]].
** {{p|Deoxys}} debuts two new forms: Attack Forme (FireRed) and Defense Forme (LeafGreen), which appear exclusively in the respective games.
** Moltres has moved from its original location in {{ka|Victory Road}} to [[Mt. Ember]]. [[Cerulean Cave]], where Mewtwo resides, now requires {{m|Rock Smash}} for navigation, and it cannot be entered until after the post-game mission in the Sevii Islands has been completed.
** One of [[Johto]]'s [[legendary beasts]] ({{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, or {{p|Suicune}}) will [[Roaming Pokémon|roam]] around Kanto after completing the Network Machine quest on the Sevii Islands during the post-game. The beast that appears is the one that has a type advantage over the player's [[first partner Pokémon]].
** The {{p|Mankey}} and {{p|Meowth}} lines, originally [[Version-exclusive Pokémon]], are now available in both games, the {{p|Psyduck}}, {{p|Shellder}}, {{p|Slowpoke}}, and {{p|Staryu}} lines have become Version exclusives.
*** Due to this change, {{p|Lickitung}}, which was originally available through an in-game trade by trading {{p|Slowbro}} in both Red and Blue, now is traded for {{p|Golduck}} in FireRed but still traded for Slowbro in LeafGreen.

==[[Version-exclusive Pokémon]]==
The following Pokémon are only obtainable in one game of this pair. In order to obtain Pokémon exclusive to the other game of this pair, they must be traded either from that game or from another compatible game of [[Generation III]] which has that Pokémon available. In addition, {{p|Mew}}, several {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} and all {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}} (except {{p|Azurill}}, {{p|Wynaut}}, and {{p|Deoxys}}) must be traded from a [[Hoenn]]-based game.

===Graphics===
[[File:MaleVsFemale NPC font FRLG JP.png|thumb|right|240px|Japanese version font difference Top: male NPC, bottom: female NPC Note the common word ポケモン (Pokémon)]]
* Dialogue text is rendered differently based on the gender of the [[non-player character]]s.
** In the Japanese versions, male NPCs are given a computer-style font while female NPCs show a font that resembles handwritten text. Text from other sources uses the same font as male NPCs.
** In non-Japanese versions, the differentiation is instead done with colors: male NPCs use blue text and female NPCs use pink text. Text from other sources is black.
* When entering certain locations such as [[Viridian Forest]] or [[Diglett's Cave]], an image of the location appears.
* A few scenes have been fixed.
** Professor Oak now walks over to the table and gives the player and rival their Pokédexes. In Generation I, the Pokédex sprites would instead vanish after the game says that the player obtained it without anyone having moved.
** The boy who prevents the player from leaving Pewter City before Brock is defeated (by escorting the player to the Gym) now returns the way he came. In Generation I, he would instead walk east and vanish offscreen, where a barrier prevents the player from walking.
* Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen are the first games of the [[core series]] where each [[item]] has its own sprite; the sprites can be seen from the player's [[Bag]]. These images were retained in [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Pokémon Emerald]] as well as later generations.
** In particular, all the items previously introduced in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} also had their sprites introduced in the game data of FireRed and LeafGreen, except the [[e-Reader]] exclusive Berries ([[Drash Berry]], [[Eggant Berry]], [[Nutpea Berry]], etc.). Some of these items (such as the [[Acro Bike]], [[Mach Bike]], [[Contest Pass]], [[Go-Goggles]], [[Eon Ticket]], etc.) are not legitimately found in FireRed and LeafGreen, so their sprites remained unseen in normal gameplay until they were reused in Pokémon Emerald.

===Music===
* The music has been remixed to take advantage of the [[Game Boy Advance]]'s power.
* Most of the themes remain the same, with some exceptions listed below.
** In Generation I, the {{FB|Kanto|Power Plant}} used the [[Team Rocket Hideout|Rocket Hideout]] theme. In FireRed and LeafGreen, the Power Plant uses the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} theme.
** In Generation I, the standard Trainer battle music was used for the three [[Elite Four]] members other than Lance, which used the Gym Leader battle theme. In FireRed and LeafGreen, the Gym Leader background music is used for all four members.
** In Generation I, when [[Professor Oak]] congratulates the player after becoming the Pokémon League {{pkmn|Champion}}, a slower version of the theme from [[Viridian City]], [[Pewter City]], and [[Saffron City]] played. In FireRed and LeafGreen, a happier-toned version of the [[Pallet Town]] background music plays at this point instead.
* Some places in the [[Sevii Islands]] use remixed versions of [[Johto]] music themes from Gold, Silver, and Crystal.
** The towns of {{OBP|Four Island|town}} and {{OBP|Five Island|town}} use the theme from [[Azalea Town]] and [[Blackthorn City]].
** The towns of {{OBP|Six Island|town}} and {{OBP|Seven Island|town}} use the theme from [[Violet City]] and [[Olivine City]].
** The routes around Five, Six, and Seven Islands use the theme from [[Lake of Rage]] and [[Route]]s {{rtn|42|Johto}}, {{rtn|43|Johto}}, and {{rtn|44|Johto}}.

==Connectivity==
FireRed and LeafGreen were created as a result of the first [[Generation III]] games, {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, lacking backward compatibility with Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}. [[Trade|Trading]] between these games and the third Hoenn-based game, {{game|Emerald}}, is possible through the traditional [[Game Link Cable]]. Trading with other copies of FireRed or LeafGreen as well as with Emerald may also be done through the [[GBA Wireless Adapter]], though Ruby and Sapphire are not compatible with it. Using a GameCube-GBA cable, players may also trade party Pokémon with {{g|Colosseum}} and {{Pokémon XD}}, but only after the player has obtained the {{i|Ruby}} and {{i|Sapphire}} and given them to [[Celio]], obtained the National Dex in Emerald, and completed the main storyline of Colosseum/XD.

While FireRed and LeafGreen cannot trade directly with the [[Generation IV]] games {{game5|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, a player's Pokémon may be permanently transferred via [[Pal Park]], and some {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} can be found using [[dual-slot mode]].

==Localization changes==
* In the original Japanese version, the blue and pink font color is used only for the Continue button on title screen, with NPC's gender changing the font style instead.
* On the title screens, the Japanese versions say ''PUSH START BUTTON'' while English versions just say ''PRESS START''.
* The name entry screen in Japanese versions only allows for five characters in a name. The international releases changed the character limit from five to seven.
* In international releases, the Lv icon on battle screens was moved to the right corner and the level number was made normal instead of bold. ''♂'' and ''♀'' symbols were also given a slight alteration.
* In the [[player's house|player's bedroom]], the video game console is a Famicom in the Japanese version, or a NES in the English version.
** This was also a Famicom in Japanese Red, Green, and Blue, but a Super Famicom in Japanese Yellow. In the localized versions of all Generation I games, this was a SNES.
* In the player's house, the film on TV depends on the game language and player's gender. The ''Stand by Me'' reference originated in Generation I, while the other references were introduced in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.
** In all languages except French, if the player is male, a movie involving four boys walking on railroad tracks, a reference to ''{{wp|Stand by Me (film)|Stand by Me}}''.<ref>(July 2000). [https://web.archive.org/web/20230418175409/https://www.nintendo.co.jp/nom/0007/taidan1/page04.html 田尻智さん（ゲームフリーク）ＶＳ石原恒和さん（クリーチャーズ）対談 (ページｄ)]。 ''Nintendo Online Magazine'' (N.O.M). No.23.</ref>
** In all languages except French, if the player is female, a movie featuring a girl in pigtails walking down a brick road, possibly a reference to ''{{wp|The Wizard of Oz (1939 film)|The Wizard of Oz}}''.
** In French, if the player is male, a movie featuring a "cool guy in a taxi" (French: ''"Y'a un gars cool dans un taxi."''), possibly a reference to the 1998 French movie ''{{wp|Taxi (1998 film)|Taxi}}''.
** In French, if the player is female, ''{{wp|The Lord of the Rings}}'' is mentioned by name.
* In the European versions, the Nugget Bridge Rocket Grunt glitch was patched. This prevents the player from getting unlimited Nuggets.
* [[Janine]] is correctly named in the Japanese, French, German, and Spanish versions of [[Koga]]'s [[Fame Checker]].
** In the English version, she is incorrectly named "Charine". In the Italian version, she is also incorrectly named "Carine", based on the mistake in the English version, instead of her actual Italian name "Nina".
* [[Daisy Oak]]'s full name is mentioned in the English, German, Italian, and Spanish versions of the Pokémon Journal from {{OBP|Four Island|town}}.
** In the Japanese and French versions of this Pokémon Journal, only her given name is mentioned. This relates to the fact that in Japanese media, it is not officially known if {{ga|Blue}} and Daisy share the same surname as their grandfather [[Professor Oak]].
* In [[Trainer Tower]], the international releases had e-Reader battle card compatibilities removed as those cards were never released outside of Japan due to the poor sales of the e-Reader in the US.
* If one presses '''↑ + SELECT + B''' on the title screen to delete all [[save]] data, in the Japanese versions, the screen is teal in FireRed and blue in LeafGreen. In the localizations, the screen in both versions is bright green.
* Entering the [[Rocket Warehouse]] requires two palindrome passwords which vary between languages.
*: English: "{{p|Goldeen}} need log" and "Yes, nah, {{p|Chansey}}"
*: Japanese:「またまた {{p|Exeggcute|タマタマ}}」 (''{{p|Exeggcute}} yet again'') and 「{{p|Kabuto|カブト}}はとぶか」 (''Can {{p|Kabuto}} fly?'')
*: French: "{{p|Ralts|Tarsal}} la star" (''{{p|Ralts}} the star'') and "Ici {{p|Girafarig}} ici" (''Here {{p|Girafarig}} here'')
*: German: "{{p|Arbok}} Kobra" (''{{p|Arbok}} cobra'') and "{{p|Makuhita}} Atihu kam" (''{{p|Makuhita}} Atihu came'')
*: Italian: "Un'ortica ad {{p|Articuno}}" (''A nettle to {{p|Articuno}}'') and "Le scarpate di {{p|Parasect}}" (''The escarpments of {{p|Parasect}}'')
*: Spanish: "{{p|Aron}} ama a Nora" (''{{p|Aron}} loves Nora''; not an exact palindrome) and "{{p|Ho-Oh}} es ese Ho-Oh" (''Ho-Oh is that Ho-Oh'')
* In the list of [[Gym Leader]]s from Japanese game manual, [[Giovanni]] appears normally and his name is mentioned. In the English manual, his face is obscured and he is unidentified, his name being replaced by "???".

==Reception==
The games were praised by critics for maintaining the same storyline as the original versions, and also for incorporating new events. Criticism was received, however, for the lack of graphical improvement from Ruby and Sapphire.<ref name="IGN review">[https://www.ign.com/articles/2004/09/03/pokemon-firered-version Pokémon FireRed Version - IGN]</ref> Generally, the games scored highly.<ref>[https://www.metacritic.com/game/game-boy-advance/pokemon-firered-version/critic-reviews Pokemon FireRed Version Critic Reviews for Game Boy Advance - Metacritic]</ref><ref>[https://www.metacritic.com/game/game-boy-advance/pokemon-leafgreen-version/critic-reviews Pokemon LeafGreen Version Critic Reviews for Game Boy Advance - Metacritic]</ref> [[Nintendo Power]] magazine gave them 4.5/5,<ref>''Nintendo Power'' magazine.

===Sales===
FireRed and LeafGreen received strong sales, although weaker than {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}. Over one million copies were sold in Japan over the first four days of release.<ref>[https://www.gamespot.com/articles/fire-red-and-leaf-green-sell-one-million/1100-6089323/ FireRed and LeafGreen sell one million - GameSpot]</ref> In the fiscal year of their release, they sold more than 2 million units.<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2004/annual0403e.pdf#page=4 Nintendo Co., Ltd. - Annual Report 2004]</ref> As of March 31, 2013, Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen have sold 12 million copies worldwide making these the lowest selling remakes of core series games.<ref>[https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20131015006009/en/Pok%C3%A9mon-Pok%C3%A9mon-Sell-4-Million-Units-Worldwide Pokémon X and Pokémon Y Sell More Than 4 Million Units Worldwide in First Two Days | Business Wire]</ref>

====Japanese sales====
Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen sold 1,013,119 units on their first week on the Japanese market, being 517,874 from Pokémon FireRed and 495,245 from Pokémon LeafGreen, with a {{wp|sell-through}} of 96.01% and 92.40% respectively. By January 2, 2011, the end of their 362nd week, they had sold 2,909,961 copies, being 1,619,109 from Pokémon FireRed and 1,290,852 from Pokémon LeafGreen.

{{main|Pokémon FireRed & Pokémon LeafGreen: Super Music Collection}}
The soundtrack contains all of the background music from the games, composed by [[Junichi Masuda]], [[Gō Ichinose]], and [[Morikazu Aoki]]. Much of the music is remixed from ''[[Game Boy: Entire Pokémon Sounds Collection CD]]'', the soundtrack for {{game|Red and Green|s}} and {{game|Red and Blue|s}}.

==Development==
:''For unused content, see [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen beta]].
Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen were announced in September 2003<ref>[http://dengekionline.com/data/news/2003/9/13/ddc45c31a5c8d1e2b434336730292ffc.html 『ポケモン赤・緑』がGBAで甦る！『ファイアレッド』『リーフグリーン』発売決定 - 電撃オンライン] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20071012031840/http://www.dengekionline.com/data/news/2003/9/13/ddc45c31a5c8d1e2b434336730292ffc.html earliest archived copy])</ref> as [[Game Boy Advance]] remakes of {{game|Red and Green|s}} that are compatible with {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} as well as the then-unreleased {{g|Colosseum}} for the [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]]. [[Game Freak]]'s [[Junichi Masuda]] stated that these games were developed around the idea of simplicity.<ref name="HPJ">[https://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir/2004/08/index.html 増田部長のめざめるパワー]. August 30, 2004.</ref><ref name="HPE">[https://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/2004/08/index.html HIDDEN POWER of masuda]. August 30, 2004.</ref>

The introduction of the [[Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter]] was touted as one of the new features in FireRed and LeafGreen, the first titles to support and include it as part of the core experience. Former [[Nintendo]] president [[Satoru Iwata]] praised the Wireless Adapter for its enhancements to multiplayer functionality, including in the Pokémon games.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20061115104220/http://www.gamespot.com/gba/rpg/pokemonred/news.html?sid=6075891 TGS 2003: Wireless GBA multiplayer for 2004 - Game Boy Advance News at GameSpot]</ref>

[[Tsunekazu Ishihara]], CEO of [[The Pokémon Company]], when questioned about the reason behind the remakes of Red and Green in an interview with IGN at E3 2004, declared that they did not see FireRed and LeafGreen as remakes but rather as new games sporting wireless functionality.<ref name="IGN">[http://www.ign.com/articles/2004/05/13/e3-2004-the-pokemon-creators-speak E3 2004: The Pokemon Creators Speak - IGN]</ref>

<blockquote>We don't feel that this a remake at all. We feel that this is a new game, with wireless technology. The reason why they are Red and Green is that they were the most popular games in the Pokemon series, and we wanted to introduce the concept again for the GBA. And it's been eight years since Red and Blue, so our target audience changes in that time, and the new audience will see {{p|Pikachu}} or {{p|Charizard}} as new characters.</blockquote>

When asked about [[Satoshi Tajiri]]'s current involvement in Pokémon, Ishihara stated that he oversaw the whole development process of FireRed and LeafGreen, including the text.<ref name="IGN"/>

<blockquote>It's really Mr. Tajiri's creation, and this is a new version of his creation. So he supervised the whole process and the new text. He oversaw all the new features added to his creation.</blockquote>

According to Junichi Masuda, LeafGreen was not retitled to match Blue internationally for the following reasons:<ref name="HPJ"/><ref name="HPE"/>
* A leaf is a symbol of peace, while fire and water are opposing concepts and thus would seem more like a conflict. A leaf is also an easier concept to grasp and translate into other languages, and in this world of conflicts, the creators wanted to give a name suggestive of a peaceful world.
* The developers also wanted a colorful drawing of a {{p|Bulbasaur}} family member on the boxart. Masuda explains that, as with [[Legendary Pokémon]], creating a title for each Pokémon game that can be used and easily understood in all countries is not an easy task.

==Trivia==
[[File:S S Anne truck FRLG.png|thumb|240px|The infamous truck]]
* {{DL|S.S. Anne|Rumors|The truck}}, long rumored to have a [[Poké Ball]] containing {{p|Mew}} under it, appears again as scenery near the [[S.S. Anne]]. This time around, however, as an easter egg, there is a [[Lava Cookie]] hidden on the dock, which normally cannot be obtained until much later in the game.
* Some of the new sprites of the Kanto Pokémon in FireRed and LeafGreen resemble artwork by [[Ken Sugimori]] for the {{game|Red and Blue|s}} and {{game|Red and Green|s}} versions. These include, with image links for comparison:
** {{p|Venusaur}} ({{file|003Venusaur RB.png|artwork}}, {{file|Spr 3f 003.png|sprite}})
** {{p|Rattata}} ({{file|019Rattata RG.png|artwork}}, {{file|Spr 3f 019.png|sprite}})

** {{p|Snorlax}} ({{file|143Snorlax RB.png|artwork}}, {{file|Spr 3f 143.png|sprite}})
* The only Generation I Pokémon that cannot be encountered in these games is {{p|Mew}}, although this Pokémon was distributed in [[List of English event Pokémon distributions in Generation III|several events for the Generation III games]].
* These are the first [[core series]] games to be released in the same calendar year in all major regions.
* In the end credits, the [[game mascot]]s of the four [[Generation I]] games, {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, and {{p|Pikachu}}, appear with special 3-frame sprites, transforming from their in-game sprites to the pose they took on the Japanese boxart of their respective games. In the Japanese versions, they are inside a circle with the text ''THE POCKET MONSTER TRAINER'', which is colored to match the Pokémon's type. In international versions, this is replaced by a Poké Ball symbol, also colored based on the Pokémon's type.

===Unique content===
In the [[core series]], Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen are the only games with these characteristics:

* FireRed and LeafGreen are the only games released between a game and its updated version in the same generation. Specifically, they were released after {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} but before {{game|Emerald}}.
* They are the only remakes that were originally released for a [[Game Boy Advance|system]] that could also play their original versions via backwards compatibility.
* They are the only games where evolving into a Pokémon outside the [[regional Pokédex]] (such as {{p|Gloom}} into {{p|Bellossom}}) only becomes possible after the player obtains the [[National Pokédex]].
* They are the only games where a Pokémon cannot [[:Category:Pokémon that evolve based on time|evolve based on time]] due to the lack of this feature even though the games are compatible with the evolved forms. In this case, {{p|Eevee}} cannot evolve into {{p|Espeon}} or {{p|Umbreon}} but the evolved forms can be traded from other games.
* They are the only games featuring the [[TM Case]] instead of storing [[TM]]s directly in the [[Bag]].
** They are the only games that have multiple [[Bag]] pockets but no pocket dedicated for TMs.
* Pokémon FireRed is the only game where only one Pokémon ({{p|Wynaut}}) from a particular generation can be obtained outside of [[trade|trading]] or {{pkmn2|event}}s.
** Pokémon LeafGreen is the only game where only two Pokémon (Wynaut and {{p|Azurill}}) from a particular generation can be obtained outside of trading or events.

====Unique content in Kanto-based games====
The [[Generation I]] games as well as FireRed and LeafGreen are the only [[core series]] games with these characteristics:

* No [[time]]-based features. This is due to the fact that neither the console nor the cartridges have internal clocks.
* No {{type|Dark}} Pokémon in the available [[regional Pokédex]].
* The Japanese names of all [[Gym Leader]]s are written with the same number of characters (each consisting of exactly three katakana; for instance, [[Brock]] is named タケシ).

The [[Generation I]] games, FireRed, LeafGreen, Let's Go, Pikachu!, and Let's Go, Eevee! are the only core series games with these characteristics:

* The [[game mascot|mascot]] of each game is in the evolutionary line of a [[first partner Pokémon]].
* The main plot does not involve any [[Legendary Pokémon]].
* The pairs of games have exactly the same Legendary Pokémon available without trades or events.

===Introduced content===
In the [[core series]], Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen were the first games with these characteristics:

* These were the first core series game [[remake]]s.
* These were the first pair of games not followed by an [[core series#release model|upper version]].
* These were the first core series games released in the same [[generation]] as other core series games but not as rereleases of the previous games (being released after {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}).
* They are the first games where Pokémon outside the current [[regional Pokédex]] are available without trades or events.
* They are the first games where certain [[Legendary Pokémon]] are available outside of trades or events:
** Legendary Pokémon outside the current [[regional Pokédex]] are available.
** Legendary Pokémon from multiple generations are available.
** Only one Legendary Pokémon is available out of a Legendary trio (one of the [[Legendary beasts]] per game).
* They have [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] [[Pokédex entry recycling|reused]] from previously released games.
** The [[Generation I]] Pokémon had their FireRed entries reused from Japanese {{game|Red and Green|s}}, making this the first time when those entries were translated into English; their LeafGreen entries were reused from {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, originally from Japanese [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pokémon Blue]].
** The [[Generation II]] Pokémon had their FireRed entries reused from [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Silver]]; their LeafGreen entries were reused from [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Gold]].
** The [[Generation III]] Pokémon have new Pokédex entries in FireRed and LeafGreen, each Pokémon sharing the same entry between both games except {{p|Deoxys}} has a different entry in each game.
* They feature a [[regional Pokédex]] which includes some but not all members of some evolutionary lines available in the current games. Specifically, the [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto Pokédex]] does not feature several [[List of cross-generational evolutionary lines|cross-generational]] Evolutions and pre-Evolutions (such as {{p|Pichu}} and {{p|Bellossom}}) even though they are available in FireRed and LeafGreen without trades or events.
* They are the first games where the {{pkmn|availability}} of some [[wild Pokémon]] (in this case, the [[Legendary beasts]]) depends on which [[first partner Pokémon]] was chosen.
* They are the first games where only items from the Items Pocket can be stored in the [[PC]].
* They are the first games where the [[Pokédex]] description of each Pokémon is displayed as a single page instead of two pages.
* They are the first games where Pokémon outside the [[regional Pokédex]] only become available in the post-game.
* They are the first games where [[Pokémon breeding]] only becomes available in the post-game.
* They are the first games with two [[Pokémon Day Care]]s, although only one of them features breeding.

===Typographical errors===
[[File:Pokcet.png|thumb|240px|The Teachy TV error, showing "Pocket" as "Pokcet"]]
* If a FireRed or LeafGreen cart is present in Slot 2 of the [[Nintendo DS]], the migration option in the [[main menu]] of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} is incorrectly stated as "Migrate from Fire Red" or "Migrate from Leaf Green", with a space in the middle of the version names. This [[list of typos|typo]] was fixed in {{game|Platinum}}, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|HeartGold, and SoulSilver}} by removing the space.
* Any {{pkmn|category}} names with more than one word are [[List of glitches in Generation III#Pokédex category oversight|cut off]] in early English releases of the games, causing for example Pokémon like {{p|Pidgey}} to be listed as "Tiny Pokémon" rather than "Tiny Bird Pokémon." {{OBP|Pokédex data structure|Generation III|Internal game data}} lists the categories the same as they appear in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and other games, indicating a mistake in the Pokédex where a blank space is misread for the terminating byte for the name. This was addressed in the later Player's Choice releases of the game. Alongside the missing word "Presents" in the game's opening, this is the easiest way to tell whether a particular game is a v1.0 or v1.1 release.
* In [[Teachy TV]], during the program about registering items, the second instance of the word pocket in the phrase "Key Items Pocket" is misspelled as "Pokcet". This was not addressed in v1.1.

{{StrategyWiki}}
'''Pokémon Battle Revolution''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンバトルレボリューション''' ''Pokémon Battle Revolution'') is the first [[Pokémon games|Pokémon game]] for the [[Wii]]. It supports connectivity with the [[Nintendo DS]], allowing Trainers to battle using their Pokémon from the [[Generation IV]] main series games while using their Nintendo DS as a controller. It was released in Japan on December 14, 2006, two weeks after the Wii launch, and in the United States on June 25, 2007.

==Gameplay==
[[File:Discharge PBR.png|250px|thumb|Two Pokémon hit by {{m|Discharge}} at the same time]]
[[File:Pokémon Battle Revolution Title Screen.png|thumb|250px|Revolution Title Screen]]
[[File:Poketopia Battle Revolution.png|thumb|250px|Pokétopia]]
Pokémon Battle Revolution features eleven different colosseums in a new area called [[Pokétopia]]. Other features include stadiums that have their own special effects, such as randomizing the order of one's Pokémon.

Players can fully customize their [[Battle Pass]] to use on Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Players can customize their {{pkmn|Trainer}} with {{OBP|gear|Battle Revolution}} such as hats, shirts, and glasses. Additionally, for the U.S. release, Nintendo had added the option to customize a Trainer's skin pigmentation. A key difference from this game compared to the Stadium titles is that minigames are absent from this game. A Trainer can choose 6 Pokémon and get a [[Rental Pass]]; however, if [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl]], {{v2|Platinum}}, [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold, or SoulSilver]] is connected, a player can upload their trained Pokémon and get a [[Custom Pass]].

Key differences from other Pokémon console games shown are that the Pokémon can now actually strike at the opponent physically while both Pokémon are rendered on the screen, instead of seeing one {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} attacking and then cutting away to the second getting hit by the attack as in previous titles. Moves that do not contact, however, follow the same style as the older games to keep the pace of gameplay up. When an attack that strikes more than one Pokémon is performed, the screen will split to show two of them being hit simultaneously, instead of showing it as the attack striking one Pokémon first then the second Pokémon next. The game also features a 100-Trainer battle when it is completed for the first time.

Like the two Stadium games, Pokémon Battle Revolution features an announcer that provides play-by-play commentary.

BRING YOUR BATTLE TO THE BIG SCREEN! Grab a Battle Pass, customise your Trainer and battle your way to the rank of [[Pokétopia]] Master! Or, battle against up to three friends with Pokémon Diamond or Pokémon Pearl using your Nintendo DS system as a controller!

==Battle Pass==
{{main|Battle Pass}}
In Pokémon Battle Revolution, the player can chose to play with a [[Custom Pass]] or a [[Rental Pass]].

Playing with a Custom Pass allows the player to use Pokémon from the Sinnoh and Johto games. The Custom Pass section hosts all the Custom Passes created, and Blank Passes to create new ones. A Custom Pass features a custom trainer with editable appearance, catchphrases, pass design and Trainer Title, and a team of six Pokémon copied from [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl]], {{v2|Platinum}}, [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold, or SoulSilver]].

Playing with a Rental Pass allows the player to use Pokémon rented from Pokétopia. The Rental Pass section hosts all the different unlocked Rental Passes. Some details are customizable, including the order of the Pokémon on the card, but not the Pokémon themselves, which all have the [[Original Trainer|OT]] PKTOPIA. The initial Rental Passes received at the start of the game feature Novice {{OBP|Nate|Battle Revolution}} or Sprout Trainer [[Cyndy]], though their name and Trainer Title can be edited later.

==Colosseums==
{{main|Pokétopia|section=Colosseums}}
The game features eleven different colosseums, one exclusive to multiplayer battles and the other ten each with special changes to normal play or prerequisites and either a {{tc|Colosseum Leader}} or {{tc|Colosseum Master}}. The six Colosseum Leaders wear Pokémon costumes; for example, Marina of the Waterfall Colosseum wears a Kyogre costume. Also, the Crystal Colosseum can hold up to 16 players, the battles are done in a 16-person tournament mode. After beating the Pokétopia Championship, the player is given a {{p|Pikachu}} with {{m|Volt Tackle}}, {{m|Surf}}, and a [[Light Ball]] (Pikachu cannot learn Surf naturally). Each level rule (Level 30 Open and Level 50 All) for a Colosseum has a specific ranking, which goes up as the player wins. As the rank increases, the Trainers become stronger and the Poké Coupon rewards become greater. Around Rank 7, the Leaders and Trainers will begin to use [[Legendary Pokémon]].

==Shop==
Using the [[Poké Coupon]]s earned in Battle mode, the player can shop for Gear and Mystery Gifts.

===Gear===
{{main|Gear (Battle Revolution)}}
Gear consists of hats, pants, shirts, bags, badges, glasses, hair colors, eye colors, face paint, shoes, and gloves which can be used to alter the outfit and appearance of the Trainer on the player's [[Battle Pass]]es.

===Mystery Gift===
[[Poké Coupon]]s can also be used to purchase items which can be sent to the [[Generation IV]] DS games via [[Mystery Gift]]. Some items are not available until certain conditions have been met. These items can be sent every time you purchase them, but the same save file can only receive each of them once.

====Pikachu (Secret Gift)====
[[File:Surf PBR.png|thumb|right|200px|Pikachu using Surf with the aid of a surfboard]]
When the player beats Pokétopia Master [[Mysterial]] for the first time, a Secret Gift options becomes available in the shop. It is free, listed at 0 pts. The Gift is a special {{p|Pikachu}} that can be sent to {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, {{game|Platinum}}, and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. Buying the Secret Gift, the Wii game starts the process to send the gift with instructions and a timer of 3 minutes (180 seconds). The DS console can receive the Mystery Gift from the main menu "Mystery Gift" section, with the wireless option, if all conditions are met.

This gift can be sent to multiple DS Pokémon games, even at the same time within the 180 seconds Mystery Gift window. One DS Pokémon game's save data can receive only one Pikachu. This is the only Secret Gift available in the Japanese release.

====Electivire (Shocking Secret Gift)====
{{p|Electivire}} and the Gold Pass can be unlocked with the following codes by entering a specific code at the “Self-Introduction” option in the Profile menu. The code is case-sensitive, and is only checked on exiting the Profile menu; if the code matches the changed introduction is not saved and the previously entered value will remain (other fields in the profile are changed normally). This does not happen if the code has already been used; the introduction is changed to it directly in that case. This Secret Gift is not available in the Japanese release.

===Rules===
The rules for battle could be modified in various ways:
* Level: The levels of the Pokémon allowed could be set to Anything Goes (No restriction), Level 50 All (levels were set to 50) or a custom range and level total (the maximum combined level allowed of the 6 Pokémon)
* Entry Pokémon: How many Pokémon were used. Could be set from 1-6, or have no restriction, in which case players could enter as many or as few Pokémon as they wanted.
* Time limit for one battle: No limit, or a range of 1-99 Minutes. Time continued counting down even during attack animations. When time ran out, the Trainer with the most Pokémon remaining was the winner.
* Time limit for move selection: No limit, or a range of 20-99 Seconds. If a player ran out of time for move selection, the computer selected their moves for them.
The following options were either yes/allow or no/disallow selections.
* Allow same Pokémon on a team?
* Allow Pokémon with identical [[Held item|hold items]]?
* Allow two or more Pokémon to be put to {{status|sleep}} on the same [[Party|team]]?
* Allow two or more Pokémon to be {{status|Freeze|frozen}} on the same team?
* If all Pokémon faint due to {{m|Explosion}} or {{m|Selfdestruct}}, user loses? (If turned off, such a situation resulted in a draw rather than a victory for either side)
* Should {{m|Perish Song}} and {{m|Destiny Bond}} fail if used by a team's final Pokémon?
* Fixed-damage moves like {{m|Dragon Rage}} and {{m|SonicBoom}} always fail?

==Legendary Pokémon banning controversy==
Due to the lack of clauses in online random multiplayer, Trainers with [[Legendary Pokémon]] ran rampant on the system, attracting controversy as to why Pokémon Battle Revolution was not using official Pokémon video game tournament rules—which bans [[Game mascot]] Legendary Pokémon (except {{p|Suicune}}) and {{p|Mewtwo}}. However, on July 3, 2007, Legendary Pokémon (referred to as "exotic" Pokémon by the game) became banned from the system. Although it was originally speculated to be a [[glitch]], a [[Global Trade System#Temporary legendary Pokémon ban|similar incident]] occurred on the same date in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. The banning of these Pokémon resulted in significant backlash from the community. A Nintendo representative later [https://forums.serebii.net/threads/ubers-now-banned.255246/page-8#post-6474688 stated] that the ban was a technical difficulty. The similar GTS problem was not addressed.

The ban was lifted sometime later, as Legendary Pokémon were then able to be used until the discontinuation of [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]].

Something similar happened to the American [[List of local English event Pokémon distributions in Generation IV#Toys "R" Us Darkrai|Alamos Darkrai]] given out at Toys "R" Us events. While the Japanese {{DL|List of local Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation IV|Movie Darkrai}}, the {{p|Darkrai}} obtained from [[Newmoon Island]] by hacking, and the [[Ranger Net#Liberate The Tower.21|Darkrai]] from [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]] worked fine, Alamos Darkrai was not allowed in online random multiplayer. This was fixed later on, and Alamos Darkrai were freely usable until the discontinuation of Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.

==Development and history==
The game was first announced by Nintendo president Satoru Iwata at a Nintendo marketing event in Japan on June 7, 2006. At the event, Iwata described Wii-to-DS connectivity using the game as an example, stating that gamers with either Pokémon Diamond or Pearl can play battles using their Diamond or Pearl Pokémon to Pokémon Battle Revolution using their DS as a controller.

The first shown video of Pokémon Battle Revolution showcased a battle between Red and Leaf on what would become the Neon Colosseum. Interestingly, in said movie, a Groudon uses Hyper Beam on a Deoxys, not only defeating it, but leaving a large gash in the floor of the Colosseum, and a hole in the wall. It is unknown if these environment damages would have remained over the course of the battle, but no such thing is possible in the final game. The camera also appeared to be more dynamic than it is in the final game: when selecting its moves, the camera first focuses on the first Pokémon, then quickly pans over to the second Pokémon to select its moves, then pans over to the Trainer who is shown making an attack command, and the attacks begin. The camera simply cuts between these shots in the final game. The last difference is the HP meter that is shown on screen when damage is done. In the video, the numerical value of the HP is shown on the HP meter, however that does not happen in any game mode in the final version.

The DS linkup feature was demoed at 2006 Nintendo World Tour for the first time. As well as allowing Pokémon from a Pokémon Diamond or Pearl cartridge to be used in-game, it replaces the on-screen battle menu normally used in conjunction with the Wii Remote. The battle menu is displayed on the DS touchscreen instead, and is navigated with the stylus. Up to eight players can play in a 1-on-1 tournament, much like the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}'s [[Battle Dome]] in {{game|Emerald}}.

==Connectivity==
===Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection===
Pokémon Battle Revolution could battle with other copies of Pokémon Battle Revolution via [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]]. Online functionality for Pokémon Battle Revolution was shut down on May 20, 2014 with the discontinuation of the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service.

When battling online, players can either battle in random matchups or with friends.

When battling in random matchups, only the level 50 all rule set is available, as either [[Double Battle|Double]] or Single Battles (Double being the default). After selecting the preferred Colosseum and Trainer Card, the game matches the player with another random player. During the battle, all Pokémon nicknames are removed and all Trainer quotes are set to their defaults. After the battle, the players can exchange [[Friend Pass]]es, but only if both players agreed to.

Pokémon Battle Revolution also allows players to battle directly with their friends. Friends are registered within the game by using a 12-digit [[Friend Code]], separate from the Wii's friend system. In a friend battle, players can either use the Colosseum ruleset, or any custom set of rules they have already created within the game. From the friend lobby, players can see the current status of anyone on their friend list and join a battle if that friend is hosting one.

===Copy Pokémon===
Pokémon Battle Revolution can copy Pokémon from {{game5|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. Once Pokémon are copied from a DS Pokémon game to Pokémon Battle Revolution, only that same DS Pokémon game can connect to Pokémon Battle Revolution again in the future.

Due to the game being released before {{game|Platinum}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, alternate forms that were introduced in Pokémon Platinum or Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver are not present in the game. If Origin Forme {{p|Giratina}}, Sky Forme {{p|Shaymin}} or any of {{p|Rotom}}'s alternate forms (all of which were introduced in Pokémon Platinum) would be copied to Pokémon Battle Revolution, they are copied in their base form instead; in the case of Rotom, it will forget its alternate form's special move, and if it is its only remaining move, it will be replaced by [[Thunder Shock (move)|ThunderShock]]. If Origin Forme Giratina would be copied, it will no longer hold its Griseous Orb. If Spiky-eared Pichu would be copied, it is copied as a regular {{p|Pichu}} instead. Outside of those changes, these Pokémon can then be used like any other Pokémon in the game.

==Reception==
Pokémon Battle Revolution received mostly negative to lukewarm reviews, which eventually lead to the end of the game's production. {{wp|IGN}} has given this game a 5.0 out of 10 for many reasons. First, the website claimed, the game lacks many features demonstrated in previous games such as [[Pokémon Stadium]] and [[Pokémon Colosseum]], notably the {{wp|Role-playing game|RPG}} mode. The multiplayer and online battles were also criticized for lacking features such as tournament play. {{wp|GameSpot}} gave the game a 5.5 out of 10, their reasons being the repetitive gameplay and the barebones online play. It also added that if the player didn't have Pokémon Diamond or Pearl for the DS, there wasn't as much to do. {{wp|Nintendo Power}} gave this game a 6.5 out of 10.

Currently the game has an average of 53% on both {{wp|Game Rankings}} and {{wp|Metacritic}}.<ref>http://www.gamerankings.com/wii/934033-pokemon-battle-revolution/index.html</ref><ref>http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/wii/pokemonbattlerevolution</ref>

As of October 27th 2008, the game has sold 1.32 million copies worldwide.<ref>http://www.vgchartz.com/games/index.php?name=Pokemon+Battle+Revolution</ref>

In recent years, retrospectives have claimed that Pokémon Battle Revolution was underrated at release, and praised the game for its high animation quality with expressive Pokémon.<ref>https://kotaku.com/pokemon-battle-revolution-animations-wii-scarlet-violet-1850362666</ref><ref>https://www.thegamer.com/best-nintendo-video-games-sold-poorly/</ref>
