The '''Exp. Share''' (Japanese: '''がくしゅうそうち''' ''Learning Equipment''), called '''<sc>Exp.All</sc>''' in the [[Generation I]] games and formatted '''<sc>Exp.Share</sc>''' in the [[Generation II]] games, is a type of item introduced in [[Generation I]]. From [[Generation II]] to {{gen|V}}, it is a [[held item]].

===Effect===
====Generation I====
In [[Generation I]] (when the item was known as the <sc>Exp.All</sc> in English), if it is in the [[Bag]], Exp. All halves the [[experience]] and [[Effort values|stat experience]] earned by the player's Pokémon that participated in the battle in order to distribute experience and stat experience to all [[party]] members.

Half of the earned experience and stat experience is distributed evenly among party members who participated in the battle. Then, due to [[Experience#Apparent Exp. All programming error in Generation I|a bug]], experience and stat experience equal to the amount received by a single participating party member is distributed evenly among all party members. If only one of the player's Pokémon participated in the battle this amount is equal to half of the total, functioning as intended; however, if multiple Pokémon participated, some experience and stat experience that would have otherwise been earned is lost.

====Generation II====
If any non-fainted Pokémon in the party [[held item|holds]] an Exp. Share, the total [[experience]] and [[effort value|stat experience]] earned when an opposing Pokémon faints is split in half, with 50% evenly distributed between all non-fainted Pokémon who participated in the {{pkmn|battle}} and 50% evenly distributed between all non-fainted Pokémon holding an Exp. Share (rounded down to the nearest whole number).

When the Pokémon holding this item receives experience, the amount of Exp. Points gained is shown twice. Furthermore, a Pokémon whose [[Original Trainer]] is the {{player}} that both participates in battle and holds an Exp. Share will gain approximately 50% (due to rounding) of the experience twice, meaning that it does not receive 100% of the experience.

====Generation III to V====
If any non-fainted Pokémon in the party [[held item|holds]] an Exp. Share, the total [[experience]] earned when an opposing Pokémon faints is split in half, with 50% evenly distributed between all non-fainted Pokémon who participated in the {{pkmn|battle}} and 50% evenly distributed between all non-fainted Pokémon holding an Exp. Share. In Generation III and IV, any Pokémon that gains experience also gains all {{EV}}s awarded from that battle; from Generation V onward, any Pokémon eligible to gain experience, even if they are level 100, gains all EVs awarded from that battle.

In [[Generation V]], the amount of experience that Pokémon receive from battles is dependent on the difference in [[level]]s of the defeated Pokémon and the Pokémon gaining experience. This difference is applied after distributing the total experience among the party.

====Generation VI to VII====
Starting in [[Generation VI]], it is now a [[Key Item]]. It can be turned on or off from the Bag menu in the overworld.

If it is enabled, the [[experience]] and {{EV}}s earned when an opposing Pokémon faints or is caught is awarded to all of the non-fainted Pokémon in the party individually. Pokémon that do not participate in battle only gain 50% of the possible experience. Any Pokémon eligible to receive experience (including level 100 Pokémon) receives all EVs from that event.

====Generation VIII====
In [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], the Exp. Share is not an obtainable item, but its effects are present from the start of the game and cannot be turned off.

==In the TCG==
[[File:ExpShareCollectionSun57.jpg|thumb|200px|Exp. Share]]
{{main|EXP.ALL (Neo Destiny 93)}}
The '''EXP.ALL''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Pokémon Tool}} {{TCG|Trainer card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Neo Series (the Japanese Neo Era) in the {{TCG|Neo Destiny}} expansion, and was later reprinted in the {{TCG|EX FireRed & LeafGreen}} expansion. The card was later reprinted under the name '''Exp. Share''' as a {{TCG|Pokémon Tool}} {{TCG|Item card}} during the English Black & White Series (the Japanese BW Era) in the {{TCG|Next Destinies}} expansion. The Exp. Share has subsequently been reprinted in the English XY Series (the Japanese XY Era) and the English Sun & Moon Series (the Japanese Sun & Moon Era).

As the EXP.ALL, it allows the player to move an {{TCG|Energy card}} from a Knocked Out Active Pokémon to the Pokémon the EXP.ALL is attached to, then discard the EXP.ALL. As the Exp. Share, it has the same effect, except that it is not discarded after applying its effect.

{{Rotating art}}

==Gender==

In Pokemon Silver Edition, I caught several male Jynx. So, umm, is this just going by Red/Blue/Yellow standards? -- [[User:Kektklik|Kektklik]] 12:51, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

:That sounds an awful lot like a glitch or a hack -- did you buy your game second-hand, or ever use a gameshark? Or maybe you game was a bootleg? [[User:Manga-in-a-bottle|Manga-in-a-bottle]] 13:13, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
::I know I didn't find any males in Gold. (And I spent a while looking since I didn't know they were only female back then.) --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] [[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|T]]-[[Special:Contributions/Fabu-Vinny|C]]-[[User:Fabu-Vinny/Sandbox|S]] 15:12, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
:::I did buy it used, but I started a new game over the one that was already present. [[User:Kektklik|Kektklik]] 03:37, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

== Jynx's Feet ==

This point probably isn't important but in EP090 (Stage Fight) Jynx is shown to have hairy feet - you can see them near the end of the episode when all of the Pokémon are dancing, kicking their legs/feet. Can this be confirmed? --☆[[User:Woodland Mudkip|Woodland:M]] ☆ 21:15, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

It does have feet, big ones too, but not hairy--[[User:Kuki|Kuki]][[User talk:Kuki|Talk]] 21:24, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
:It doesn't really matter that they're not hairy, but that's the only time Jynx has been shown to have feet when it's generally accepted that Jynx doesn't have any. It's not really a big point but it should probably be added to its physiology unless it's a mistake --☆[[User:Woodland Mudkip|Woodland:M]] ☆ 22:22, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

==Redesign Date==
The article says that Nintendo changed Jynx's design for Ruby/Sapphire. But... um... is it just me or did Gold/Silver already have the redesigned Jynx? Her lips are smaller, her face and hands are purple, and her arms are white, just like the redesigned version. {{unsigned|Razzia}}

== Mean With Envy ==
From the controversy section:
"''This change was not reflected in the anime until much later, when Jynx appeared in Mean With Envy, an episode which could not be cut from airing due to its importance to the plot of the Advanced Generation series. '''Though appearing as black in the original Japanese, Jynx was recolored in the dub, causing a delay in the airing of the episode.''' Jynx has appeared since using its new design with no problems."''

I don't watch the Japanese episodes, but wasn't she was purple in the Japanese version of that episode too? I remember people being very annoyed that the episodes aired late BECAUSE Jynx had already been fixed in them, even in the original airing, and Serebii also has pictures of the Japanese version of the episode and she's purple in them too. {{unsigned|Razzia}}
:This is correct, [http://www.filb.de/?site=anime/eppics&ep=ag115 here] are pics from the Japanese airing, Jynx is clearly purple. Someone please change this. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 00:46, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

==Vandalism?==
In Pokemon Mystery Dungeon part, why is there odd symbols? Does Jynx really say that or is that vandalism? --[[User:PKFL 531|PKFL 531]] 22:02, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Should this be deleted?

== Orgin ==

Um....I know this will probably be taken as my opinion only by the more extremist of the community, but i'll say it anyways.

Wouldn't some of Jynx be based on "the fat lady?" You know the one with a horned hat, spear, sheild and a golden chest plate you see in Opera? I'm pretty sure its singing has been mentioned somewhere, and it appears to be animated singing in its Emerald sprite. Its FR/LG Sprite seems to take a singing stance.

http://davegranlund.com/cartoons/wp-content/uploads/color-wall-st-fat-ldy-web.jpg

that picture ain't pretty but it should convey the point. [[User:Yami Takashi|Yami]] 22:53, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
:I believe the word you're looking for is "Valkyrie". --[[User:PsychicRider|'''Psy''']][[User talk:PsychicRider|'''ライダー''']]''[[Special:Contributions/PsychicRider|'''☮''']]'' 22:55, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

:: Yeah, the opera character is a Valkyrie if I read right. I changed the picture to something a little more pleasant. Its just I've kind of always put the two together, even as a kid. I'm surprised there was no mention of such a thing in Jynx origin. Many focus on the it being from a Japanese trend, or go to the racist thing and might over look the other things it could originate from. [[User:Yami Takashi|Yami]] 23:04, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

::: Should I add the info on it possibly being based in some part on the "fat lady" aka Valkyrie Brünhilde? Or would that seem to opinionated/need some kind of pain in the butt citation? From experience I know a article could be full of uncited and/or opinionated things, but when I come around I get confronted and told off. I think this would be a welcomed addition, and might level out some of the negative origin. [[User:Yami Takashi|Yami]] 23:30, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
::::The problem I can see with it is simply this: would it be reasonable to believe that Jynx is based off of them? I'm not familiar with Japan, so the main question is whether they're well-known over there; enough so to be the origin for a Pokémon. [[User:The Dark Fiddler|The Dark Fiddler]] - [[User talk:The Dark Fiddler|You enter a poorly lit room...]] 23:53, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

::::: I don't see why they wouldn't know of the Fat lady or the reference pretending to her in Opera and in cartoons. You have to remember that before the US had any influence in japan it was Europe mostly. I think the school girl uniforms are based on British sailor uniforms if I remember right. Then you have to take into account the Japanese love for '''Disney.''' '''DBZ''' which was made in the late 80's early 90's had three characters based on the '''Cinderella''' song '''"Bibidi Babadi Boo."''' Also I think '''Bugs Bunny''' has crossed over there in his 50+ years along with the other '''Looney Tunes'''. If Disney never made a reference to the Fat lady then Looney Tunes would defiantly be the next best bet. Opera started in Italy if I am correct, and we can all think of two Italians that came from Japan and made Nintendo lots of money. If Nintendo could bank on '''Italian Plumbers''' as a mascot for a multi-billion dollar company, I'm sure they have been influenced by western culture. [[User:Yami Takashi|Yami]] 00:36, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

:::::: So....would there be any objections if i add this? I just don't want to add the info then have to fight for it tooth and nail with someone wanting citations or anything. I've had plenty of experience with that, mostly on wikipedia but it is still a pain.

:::::: I'm still thinking of how to word it so the addition might not be done right away. I'm not sure if Valkyrie would be too vague or generic, or if the addition should be blunt and say Jynx appearance and behavior (look at the game sprite(s) in later gens) may be based of the stereotypical Fat lady that sings. [[User:Yami Takashi|Yami]] 16:11, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

:::::: Regular Wikipedia claims that Jynx's design was based on a blackface design; more specifically, it looks like a Golliwog, a rather racist doll depicting a black person. I understand the Valkyrie business, but since the U.S. version banned an episode because Jynx was black instead of purple, I think it's worthy of being mentioned in the article. [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9b/AreYouReallySellingThat.jpg/450px-AreYouReallySellingThat.jpg Golliwog Picture][[User:Giamberardino|Giamberardino]] 07:34, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

== Mr. Mime? ==

Wouldn't Jynx's male counterpart be Mr. Mime? {{unsigned|Makupe}}

technically no as, despite what its name may suggest, mr. mime can be both male and female and jynx has no anatomical or evolutionary relation to mr. mime. --- [[User:Eevee Obsessed 008|Eevee Obsessed 008]]

== Native Region ==

Jynx is not available in the Kanto region except through the trade in Cerulean City, should it be noted that perhaps Jynx may not be native to Kanto? --- [[User:Convoy|Convoy]]
:In HGSS, Jynx can be caught in [[Seafoam Islands]]. While it may have been imported there, or have migrated there, it would be speculation to say that it isn't from Kanto. This goes against Bulbapedia policy. `—'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 09:08, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

==Possible name trivia==
Is it worth noting that, if "y" is not counted, Jynx has no vowels in its name (and is the only Pokémon for which this is true)? --[[User:Jared|Ja]][[User talk:Jared|red]] 20:59, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
:But that's just the thing.. "Y" is ''sometimes'' a vowel. There are even words in English that have "w" being the vowel. [[User:Kektklik|Kektklik]] 03:39, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

== Racial stereotype? ==

Personally I disagree with Carole Wethorfords opinion. Jynx is tinted purple, not brown. The original desighn was jet black, not brown. Is black magic racist? Are shadows racist? Are black cats racist? If so than she would have alot of problems with fiction. Second, Jynx has blonde hair. The only blondes I know are caucasions. Wethorforde must have a lot of problems with evil.{{unsigned|SeanWheeler}}
:That may all be, but doesn't change the fact there was controversy about that Pokémon. This is, quite frankly, not the page to discuss whether the controversy was justified, the most you could discuss whether it belongs into the article.--[[User:Afrael|Afrael]] 18:02, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

== Longest cry? ==

Does Jynx have the longest cry of any Pokémon, and if not, which Pokémon does? - ''unsigned comment from {{u|Absolution}} ([[User talk:Absolution|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Absolution|contribs]]) ''
:[[♀ .]] has the longest cry of any Pokémon, regular or glitched. Only in [[Pokémon Yellow]] though. As for real Pokémon, I have no clue. --[[User:Enervation|Enervation]] 23:53, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

Okay, I tried looking it up in my Pokédex in my Pokemon White Version game and found that of all the Pokemon I have seen in it, Jynx has the longest cry with over 2:13 seconds. {{p|Zekrom}}, {{p|Samurott}}, and {{p|Klinklang}} come pretty close, though. [[User:Mr. Guye|Mr. Guye]] 18:34, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

== Controversy and Origin sections ==

I think these sections need a major overhaul. They have a very biased tone. Whoever wrote them seems determined to leave the reader with the idea that Jynx is a racist steryotype and that other ideas are less valid. I'd rewrite it myself but I thought i should give some warning before such a major edit.[[User:Bug Catcher Wade|'''Bug Catcher Wade''']] 06:58, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

== Trivia ==

"As its Pokédex entries state that it speaks a language that sounds like human, the player, as a Pokémon, cannot understand anything of what it says in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon..."
I think it's just that what Jynx says does not make sense to anyone, humans or Pokémon. Period. I'm wondering whether anyone else agrees/disagrees. --[[User:Enervation|Enervation]] 20:02, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
:I would assume that other Jynx can understand each other. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:43, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

== Jynx Origin stuff. also Dress is based on theater curtains? ==

I was checking in on this fat lady origin; its kind of cool and I never gave it much thought.

Anyways, should some mention be made about how Jynx is (ironically?) part ice, and that the character she may be based on (to some degree) dies by riding a horse into fire?

I mean, it kinda makes sense considering Ice types are week against fire, and not to sound racist or insensitive...but obviously you'd have blackened skin if you went into a fire.

Also, is it too opinionated to say that her red dress is like Curtains like at the Opera or any stage theater? Theater curtains are almost always depicted as Red.

I've seen blue, gold, silver and white used as the color of the Opera singer's costume in depictions of the fat lady singing, or the opera she hails from. So i don't think the choice for Jynx having a red dress was completely based on one depiction if any. (playing devils advocate, am not ripping on the fat lady singing thing) but the point is that her dress carries a likeness to curtains. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 08:07, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

== Controversy and Origin sections, revisited ==

There are several theories that Jynx was inspired by something other then a racist steryotype:

1) Jynx may be inspired by {{wp|ganguro}}, a Japanese fashion where women tan heavily, bleach their hair, and apply large amounts of makeup, instead of a black stereotype. This theory is mainly based on Jynx's long, straight, blonde hair, a common attribute of ganguro fashion.

2) Jynx is based on the Nordic goddess {{wp|Hel}}, who was often depicted has having a face half white-half black. This theory is supported by the fact that Urd and her mother Hel (renamed Hild which is the name of ''another'' Norse goddess) are both depicted as being dark skinned in the manga series Ah My Goddess! Also Hel ruled {{wp|Niflheim}}, primarily land of primordial ice and cold and who did ''not'' die a heroic or notable death (it was the closes thing the Norse had to a 'bad' place). They argue that Jynx's hair looks more like royalty than an African stereotype. They also say that being based on a {{wp|Viking}} goddess who ruled a land of primordial ice and cold would explain why they are {{t|Ice}} type. This is further expressed by Jynx sharing traits with the iconic opera singing "{{wp|It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings|Fat Lady}}," who is pop-culturally portrayed dressed as the {{wp|valkyrie}} {{wp|Brünnhilde}}.

3) It has also been stated is that Jynx is based on {{wp|Yama-uba}}, the mountain Crone ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8X3l_Tt8VE Game Theory: Pokemon Racism, Jynx Justified]])based on the fact that Yama-uba is generally depicted with black skin in Noh Drama with a red kimona and long white hair. She is also often depicted in Noh theater by a actor in ganguro-like make up.

If anything the Jynx based on goddess Hel idea seems to have the most merit especially as in another manga Hel (Hild) was given dark skin.--[[User:BruceGrubb|BruceGrubb]] ([[User talk:BruceGrubb|talk]]) 12:46, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

== Yellow VC sprite is technically impossible? ==

I would like to disagree with the trivia item that states that the recolored sprite for Jynx in Pokémon Yellow is technically impossible for Game Boy Color. I hope someone with better knowledge of how GBC games work will react to this and correct me if I'm wrong.

Technically, the limitation of four colors, which, in Jynx's case are for the most part black, red, yellow and white, doesn't apply to the entire sprite, but instead applies to every single square of 8x8 pixels that, when put together, form the sprite. If both front and back sprites are opened in a bitmap editor such as Graphics Gale, with a 8x8 grid, it is possible to see that some of the squares forming Jynx's sprites use a different palette where black is replaced with purple, but there is not a single square in which both black and purple appear. It becomes more obvious when examining outlines around Jynx's hands, where outlines of its hair turn from red and black to red and purple, or the mere fact that Jynx's eyes, the inside of its mouth and the top part of its breasts are recolored purple when they didn't need to be.

(the sprite present on the wiki does have a black pixel on a recolored square, but I just checked with Pokémon Yellow VC, that pixel should be purple, the sprite on the wiki must have been manually recolored instead of ripped from the game)

There are visible instances of palettes being applied to single 8x8 squares in Generation II games. For instance, flower pots in front of the Goldenrod flower shop in Crystal are comprised of two bottom squares colored with two shades of green and two top squares colored with two shades of red. Incidentally, Pokémon sprites in both Gen I and Gen II games aren't technically sprites, but are displayed as background images, so this technique can reasonably be used for Pokémon sprites in Yellow.

Can someone more versed in GBC technology confirm or disprove this?

:This is correct. The sprites are indeed made up of tiles which can have their own palettes. The trivia entry should either be removed, or edited to explain that an exception was added to give Jynx its own paletted tilemap. [[User:Pac|Pac]] ([[User talk:Pac|talk]]) 06:07, 6 December 2018 (UTC)

==shiny odds increased? ==
I got Pokémon X on October 12, launch date. Within an hour of playing it, I found a shiny Psyduck. Two days later, I found a shiny Woobat. So either I'm REALLY lucky, or the chances of finding a shiny Pokémon increased for Generation Six. What do you think? [[User:ShinyMew9001|ShinyMew9001]] ([[User talk:ShinyMew9001|talk]]) 13:08, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

:Wow, how did you do that a year before the game came out?!

:Seriously, though, I've been hearing this quite a bit lately from all over the place. Also, apparently Monochrome Pokémon are appearing at the previous Shiny rate. Pokérun MAY also be more common, but that one's a little harder to pinpoint. Unfortunately, the 3DS games can't be data mined like previous gens, so it might be a while before we have any solid numbers. --[[User:KingStarscream|KingStarscream]] ([[User talk:KingStarscream|talk]]) 19:30, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
::I've heard that the monochrome Pokémon are simply a texture error, which seems likely to me. We also can't say anything about increased shiny rate without hard facts. ''Maybe'' that many fans think shinies are more common in Gen VI, but that doesn't seem terribly notable. --[[User:WyndFox|Wynd]] [[User talk:WyndFox|Fox]] 22:30, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
:::I've heard that the shiny encounter rate is more generous in X and Y. [[User:Kikaypikachu|Kikaypikachu]] ([[User talk:Kikaypikachu|talk]]) 10:07, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
::::I understand that there's no easy way to prove that the Shiny odds have increased, but can I point out one more thing? One time I (almost) traded with someone who had a teal Frogadier and a black Furfrou. I do believe that they are Shiny Pokémon, so that means that the person is either super lucky, a hacker, or the Shiny odds have increased. Once again, there's really no way to prove this without a confirmation from Nintendo, but I just wanted to throw that out.

::::Also, Pokérus may be more common now. One of my friends got Pokérus within one week of playing X, while I've been playing Black for over two years now and I haven't caught it. So either-- well, you know what I'm going to say. And once again this is all speculation, which really makes me wonder why I'm even pointing this out.

::::Also, what's this talk about Monochrome Pokémon? Unless you're referring to Generation One, I have no idea what you're talking about. [[User:ShinyMew9001|ShinyMew9001]] ([[User talk:ShinyMew9001|talk]]) 13:48, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
:::::Some rumour about a new type of Pokémon similar to Shiny Pokémon, with the coloroation being black and white. I've heard about it and also heard it's some texture error, either that or it's just a hoax. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 13:59, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
::::::I don't think Pokérus is more common. Shinies pretty clearly are though (and can be observed easily from empirical testing, and has been). A single person finding Pokérus while their friend does not is not a good sample size; with that data, Pokérus could easily be less common.
::::::As for monochrome Pokémon, I'm calling them a hoax. If they exist, I challenge anybody that has one to record a battle video featuring one and share the code; if they are an intended mechanic, in a battle video they will appear monochrome for everyone. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 14:05, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
If there really were monochrome Pokémon they would probably have been revealed earlier. [[User:Kikaypikachu|Kikaypikachu]] ([[User talk:Kikaypikachu|talk]]) 14:30, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
:Monochrome Pokémon are caused by a texture error, and are not an intended mechanic. --[[User talk:Relicant|The]] [[Special:Contributions/Relicant|Truth]] aka Relicant 14:53, 2 November 2013 (UTC)

:Ah, that makes sense. I would also like to point out one more thing: it ''may'' be impossible to find a shiny Xerneas, Yveltal, and Zygarde. Once again, this is all speculation, and I bet the majority of admins would have my head for this, but I've looked all over for an encounter with a shiny Xerneas, Yveltal, or Zygarde, and I've found nothing. It may be that people haven't had time or motivation to shiny hunt them, but I'm sure that there would at least be a screenshot of a shiny legendary by now. I don't want to drag this topic out for too long, but do you have any thoughts on the matter? Also, I'm sorry, admins. [[User:ShinyMew9001|ShinyMew9001]] ([[User talk:ShinyMew9001|talk]]) 22:31, 2 November 2013 (UTC)

::It's plausible that Xerneas and Yveltal have coding in place that prevents them from being shiny, since last Gen's mascots Reshi and Zek have similar measures in place. Either that or like you suggested people have had no luck/time finding them.--[[User talk:Relicant|The]] [[Special:Contributions/Relicant|Truth]] aka Relicant 23:09, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
:::That's very possible. [[User:Kikaypikachu|Kikaypikachu]] ([[User talk:Kikaypikachu|talk]]) 23:12, 2 November 2013 (UTC)

Research has been done about this: http://nuggetbridge.com/forums/topic/2793-instacheck-hotspot-a-fast-pok%C3%A9mon-checker-for-xy/
This Shiny Value is between 0 and 4095. 'Shiny Value' is the equivalent of TID and SID XORed and right shifted 4 places. It used to be shifted 3 places (2^3 is 8 which is why the value has to be less than 8 because the last 3 bits don't count), however no it's shifted 4 places, meaning the last 4 bits don't count. So going by the calcs in the article the answer can now be less and 16 for it to be shiny. Therefore the range is doubled and the chance of getting a shiny is doubled. I'm about to edit the article to mention this change. [[User:Lucky V4.0|Lucky V4.0]] ([[User talk:Lucky V4.0|talk]]) 18:32, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

With the shiny percentage change in generation VI, can a pokemon imported from gen IV that wasn't shiny become shiny? [[User:Zombiedude347|Zombiedude347]] ([[User talk:Zombiedude347|talk]]) 20:48, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
:I highly doubt it. [[User:Pikachu Bros.|Pikachu Bros.]] ([[User talk:Pikachu Bros.|talk]]) 13:34, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

::I've heard this theory before. Since there's now a whole new set of personality values for each individual wild Pokémon that could be shiny in Gen VI, and that weren't in V, ''theoretically'' they could end up as Shiny when moved, in the same way that something traded from Gen I over to II could become shiny after being traded. However, I can imagine that this late in the game, Nintendo would have forseen that and made it so a transfer via the Poké Transporter doesn't change the color palette.

This is unrelated but I was curious if hatching a shiny Pokemon is more likely if one of the parents is shiny. [[User:Mariofan99|Mariofan99]] ([[User talk:Mariofan99|talk]]) 19:49, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

== Horde Battle and Friend Safari not mentioned ==

How come there is no mention of Horde battles increasing the chance of finding a Shiny? I am not the best at math, but I know it gives you a 5x better chance then the traditional 1-on-1 encounter. Again, not the best at math, but if I did it right it looks like each Pokémon in a horde has a 1/4096, which in terns means there is a 1/819.2 chance of encountering a horde with a shiny Pokémon if I am correct?

Also, I'm pretty sure there is a higher chance of finding Shiny Pokémon in the Friend Safari but there is no mention of this either. The first time I entered a friend's Flying type Safari I encountered a Shiny Hawlucha. If I am not mistaken, I think the reason there is a increase is because there are only 2-3 Pokémon available in the Friend Safari at all times, thus your chances of encountering a shiny, at least of those 2-3 increases. This might be a superficial increase though. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 19:40, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
:Horde Encounters do not increase the shiny rate. Five Pokémon means that you're five times more likely to have ''any'' of the members of the horde be Shiny, yes, but the random generator still creates ''each individual'' Pokémon with the same rate as normal. As for the Friend Safari, I haven't seen anybody say anything about an increased Shiny rate there except people idly speculating based on anecdotal evidence like you're doing right now. We can't report it as true until either (A) we hack the game and check the data ourselves or (B) a high-quality (i.e. sample size of several thousand, at least) statistical analysis is performed. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 20:38, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
::The probability posted by Yamitora is very accurate, but it's calculated in a wrong way; by that logic, a 4096-Pokémon horde would ''always'' include a Shiny Pokémon. The true probability of encountering at least one Shiny Pokémon in a Horde Encounter is 1 - (4095/4096)^5 or about 1/819.6.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 21:25, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
:::The probability he posted of a battle ''containing'' a Shiny might be accurate, but that's neither how the games are programmed nor how our pages are presented. The probability of a particular Pokémon being generated as Shiny by the algorithm is the same regardless of whether that's in a Single Battle, a Double Battle or a Horde Encounter. Claiming on our page that a Horde Encounter has a higher Shiny rate would be misleading. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 22:33, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
::::I already said I am not that good with math. I mentioned 1/819.2. Den Zen, you came up with 1/819.6 I wasn't trying to say it like every horde has a shiny, I was just unintentionally misrepresenting the math since again, not so good with it.
::::By the way Pumpkingking0192...Its both rude and condescending accusing me of speculating like that. I'm trying to do the best I can with what skills and resources I have. Please show some respect and courtesy for me as a fellow editor.
::::Also Den Zen already said that the horde battles do in fact in crease the odds of finding a shiny by the fact there are 5 Pokemon instead of 1.

== Gen VI Shiny Charm Calculations ==

I'm not sure if the calculation for the Shiny charm still triples the chances, but if so would the chance be 1/1365.33 in gen VI?

:One more thing. Under Generation VI it says "The exact rates at which the previous four techniques increase the Shiny probability are currently unknown." What four techniques does this mean. I know chain fishing rates are unknown still, but what are the other 4? because I am only counting 3 techniques, The shiny Charm, Masuda Method and Poké Radar which I am pretty sure those odds have already been calculated.

Well, it's probably coincidence, but no sooner did I get the charm that i ran into a carbink/ragarolla horde with a shinny ragarolla in it.

== Gen 1? ==

Can Shiny Pokémon occur in the first generation? I have encountered a Missingno of alternate colors while recording, and someone on the video comments says they once got a gen1 shiny as well. Is this an intentional effect or is it the game not properly setting the second species byte that controls colors? Or is it something that is caused due to hardware or emulation errors? (Was there a report of people naturally encountering [[??????????]]'s with a "1 in 1 million" chance? This might be similar). [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqPoR8al36Y Here's my video.] --[[User:Pokechu22|Pokechu22]] ([[User talk:Pokechu22|talk]]) 15:59, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
:Shiny Pokémon do not strictly exist in Generation I; that is to say that in those games there is no difference at all, but they do retain their Shininess when traded from Gen II to Gen I to Gen II again, and Pokémon caught in Gen I can be Shiny after being traded to Gen II. But as for your actual question, Missingno.'s pallet being wrong does not mean it is Shiny. I can't tell you exactly what the cause of the incorrect pallet is, but it's not due to Missingno. being Shiny. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 16:11, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

:::I believe this is due to your disabling cheat codes during the black entering-battle screen. I'm not 100% on this, but I think what's happening is you've effectively interrupted the wild Pokemon generation process causing it to split between the Pokemon determined by the code and a Pokemon that can normally be encountered in that area. So it started loading the specified MissingNo. data into RAM, but you intercepted the process which resulted in the remaining data being generated for a wild Pokemon native to that area. Based on coloration, I'm guessing the encounter generated an Oddish. Try repeating the process by interrupting more encounters. --[[User:GARY-DOS|GARY-DOS]] ([[User talk:GARY-DOS|talk]]) 03:13, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

== Calculations ==

I decided to do some math. I'm sure I'm not the first to come up with these numbers, but I haven't seen them anywhere, so i figured I would post them. 
Number of encounters required to have a 10% chance at finding a shiny Pokémon... 864 
Number of encounters required to have a 25% chance at finding a shiny Pokémon... 2357 
Number of encounters required to have a 50% chance at finding a shiny Pokémon... 5678 
Number of encounters required to have a 75% chance at finding a shiny Pokémon... 11356 
Number of encounters required to have a 99% chance at finding a shiny Pokémon... 37224 
Of course, you can never reach 100%, but 99.99999%.............................. 132032

Not sure if anyone cares, but I thought it was interesting. Equation I used was
y = 100 - (100 * ((8191/8192)^x)) if you want to look at it.

== Changing Shininess through generations ==

As Generation VI increased the probability of Pokémon being shiny, wouldn't some Pokémon from games of earlier generations became shiny after being transfered to Generation VI? [[User:Suic12-|Suic12-]] ([[User talk:Suic12-|talk]]) 18:39, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

:No. for the same reason a pokemon's ability slot is now locked [[User:Jmvb|Jmvb]] ([[User talk:Jmvb|talk]]) 18:25, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

::But that's because ability and personality value (that determines the ability slot) are stored separately and redundantly. Is Shininess really stored the same way (I'd be quite surprised if it were)? (Also, by 'now' do you mean new to Generation VI? Ability locking has been present since Pal Park where a Pickup Zigzagoon from Gen III would always keep Pickup upon transfer to Gen IV but have a 50% chance of switching to Gluttony on evolution based on its predetermined personality value.) [[User:Blueapple128|Blueapple128]] ([[User talk:Blueapple128|talk]]) 18:40, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

:::What I meant by ability locking is that in Generation VI the ability is still locked on evolution. So a pick-up Zigzagoon from Gen III will always evolve into a pick-up Linoone in GenVI even if it evolves into a gluttony Linoone in GenIV/V. I assume that shininess is now stored separately from PID simply to stop pre-gen pokemon becoming shiny on transfer [[User:Jmvb|Jmvb]] ([[User talk:Jmvb|talk]]) 19:00, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

::::: Source for the ability thing is myself as I tested it (though a bunch of others did too). Apparently I was wrong about shinyness now being stored separately. According to some guys at project pokemon, if your pokemon's PID fits the criteria of not being shiny pre-genvi but would be shiny in genvi, poketransfer will actually change the PID so it isn't shiny. This doesn't seem to affect anything else though as it seems to be the only thing the PID is still used for. [[User:Jmvb|Jmvb]] ([[User talk:Jmvb|talk]]) 00:49, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

== Few questions and things to say about shiny Pokémon. ==

Hello. At first, I just noticed the Gyarados from the HG/SS expansion (123/123) was missing from the list of shiny Pokémon cards. Also, why are Groudon, Kyogre and Rayquaza present in the unobtainable list on Gen VI ? Cannot they be imported as shinies from Gen IV ? It also says that none of the Mew distributed in Gen I had IV making them shiny, but citation is missing. Do we have any proof of that ? Finally, I have two questions about shiny Celebi and Jirachi. Are we 100% sure that Wishmaker can be shiny, since it is not accepted by Poke-Transporter ? And what about the possibility of a shiny Ageto Celebi ? The last time I read about it, it was said that the Celebi sent to Colosseum could not be shiny, but there were still doubts for the 48 ones sent to the GBA games. Any recent news about that ? Thanks !

'''Fiore''' (Japanese: '''フィオレ地方''' ''Fiore-chihō'') is the setting for the {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}} game. Its name is {{wp|Italian language|Italian}} for "flower". It may be somewhat close to the [[Sinnoh]] region, since it was stated in-game that Sinnoh was the closest region to send the {{p|Manaphy}} Egg during the Manaphy event.

==Geography==
[[File:Fiore.png|thumb|240px|Fiore, labeled]]
[[File:Unmarked Fiore.png|thumb|240px|Artwork of Fiore]]
Fiore is a location with mountainous terrain and four cities located in the cardinal directions of the map. Each city represents a season: Ringtown for spring, Fall City for fall or autumn, Summerland for summer, and Wintown for winter.

==History==
{{incomplete|section}}

==Locations==
====Cities/Towns====
* [[Fall City]]
* [[Ringtown]]
* [[Summerland]]
* [[Wintown]]

====Areas of interest====
* [[Krokka Tunnel]]
* [[Sekra Range]]
* [[East Road]]
* [[North Road]]
* [[Fiore Temple]]
* [[Jungle Relic]]
* [[Kisara Plains]]
* [[Lyra Forest]]
* [[Dusk Factory]]
* [[Olive Jungle]]
* [[Panula Cave]]
* [[Safra Sea]]
* [[Go-Rock Squad Base]]
* [[Waterworks]]

====Routes====
Fiore does not have traditional [[route]]s.

==League==
The relationship between humans and Pokémon is substantially different in Fiore than it is in the regions of the main games. In Fiore, there are no Trainers that capture and battle. The people that have the most interaction with Pokémon are the Pokémon Rangers. Since the Rangers enforce a strict rule of releasing Pokémon after using their help, Fiore does not host a form of Pokémon competition in the vein of the other regions' [[Pokémon League]]. However, they do have capture challenges that are open for Rangers to hone their skills.

==Culture==
[[File:Fiore map.png|thumb|An in-game map of Fiore]]
[[Poké Ball]]s are not sold or used in the Fiore Region. People who befriend Pokémon are encouraged to keep them by their side, outside of Poké Balls at all times, much like [[Ash's Pikachu]].

==Trivia==
*The cities' names are based off the four seasons.
* While all the [[Eeveelution]]s prior to [[Generation IV]] can be found in Fiore, {{p|Eevee}} itself cannot be seen.
* [[Wintown]] is the only city or town without a Capture Challenge nearby.
* Fiore seems to be south of [[Sinnoh]], notably from the mountain range that extend from the north in the in-game map, also from the statement that Sinnoh is the closest region to send Manaphy Egg.

'''Lunatone''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ルナトーン''' ''Lunatone'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Psychic}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Lunatone resembles a crescent moon. It has red eyes on either side of its body and has an unusual beak-like structure in front of it. Being an inorganic Pokémon, it isn't preyed upon, nor does it need to prey on others, as it derives all its energy from moonlight. It uses telekinesis to float in mid-air.

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

===Special abilities===
Lunatone's powerful red eyes also fill the onlooker with fear. It is capable of reading the thoughts of other lifeforms like most psychic types. It is even capable of brainwashing, but only does this when it feels threatened and usually as a last resort. Its psychic powers can grow stronger under the light of the full moon. It is said that if Lunatone is exposed to moonlight for enough time its psychic powers will grow stronger than those of an Alakazam.

===Behavior===
Lunatone's power and health seems to be tied directly to the {{wp|Lunar phase|phases of the moon}}. When there is a full moon, Lunatone is at the peak of its strength. Presumably when there is a new moon, Lunatone is defenseless. It is capable of reading the minds of other lifeforms, communicate with telepathy and {{m|Hypnosis|hypnotize}} others if it feels threatened.

===Habitat===
[[File:Cave Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon}}]]
Lunatone is a Pokémon that is said to have originally came from space. They originally came to the [[Pokémon world]] within meteorites and have since adapted to it quite nicely. As Lunatone have been found in [[Meteor Falls]]; it can be inferred that they prefer caves, though they are also found in other areas with {{pkmn2|extraterrestrial}} activity, like the [[Giant Chasm]] in [[Unova]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
This Pokémon has no need for food since it derives all of its energy from moonlight.

==In the anime==
[[File:Liza Lunatone.png|thumb|right|Lunatone in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Lunatone first appeared in the main series in ''[[AG087|Crazy as a Lunatone]]''. A pair of thieves calling themselves the [[Pokémon Mystery Club]] was after it due to wanting to get their hands on another outer-space Pokémon.

[[Tate and Liza|Liza]] and her Lunatone debuted in ''[[AG099|It's Still Rocket Roll to Me!]]'' alongside [[Tate and Liza|Tate]] and his {{p|Solrock}}. [[Ash Ketchum]]'s Gym battle against Tate and Liza and their Meteorite Pokémon was in the [[AG100|following episode]].

===Minor appearances===
Lunatone made its debut in the opening of ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''.

A Lunatone appeared in the opening of ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''.

A Lunatone belonging to a {{pkmn|Coordinator}} appeared in ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night!]]''. It was used along with a {{p|Solrock}} for the [[Double Performance]] required during the {{ci|Hearthome}} {{pkmn|Contest}}.

An engraving of a Lunatone appeared in ''[[DP181|Bucking the Treasure Trend!]]''.

A Lunatone appeared in the opening scenes of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Hoenn}}
{{Animedexbody|AG087|Lunatone|Ash's Pokédex|Lunatone, the Meteorite Pokémon. Lunatone is believed by some people to have come from outer space. It moves around most actively during full moons and its powerful red eyes instill fear into anyone who beholds them.}}

===Pokédex entries===
{{Dex

|rubydex=Lunatone was discovered at a location where a meteorite fell. As a result, some people theorize that this Pokémon came from space. However, no one has been able to prove this theory so far.
|sapphiredex=Lunatone becomes active around the time of the full moon. Instead of walking, it moves by floating in midair using telekinesis. The Pokémon's intimidating red eyes cause all those who see it to become transfixed with fear.
|emeralddex=It becomes very active on the night of a full moon. This Pokémon was first discovered 40 years ago at the site of a meteor strike.
|frlgdex=Its health ebbs and flows with the lunar cycle. It brims with power when exposed to the light of the full moon.
|dpptdex=Because it turns active on nights of the full moon, it is said to have some link to the lunar phases.
|hgssdex=It was discovered at the site of a meteor strike 40 years ago. Its stare can lull its foes to sleep.
|bwdex=Because it turns active on nights of the full moon, it is said to have some link to the lunar phases.
|b2w2dex=The phase of the moon apparently has some effect on its power. It's active on the night of a full moon.

Like Pikachu, from whom it evolves, Raichu has long ears and feet, and stubby arms. Also like Pikachu, Raichu has two horizontal brown stripes on its back. Its long, thin tail has a broad, lightning bolt-shaped end. Unlike Pikachu, however, it does not have fingers.

Raichu is yellow-brownish in color, with a white belly. Its arms are halfway brown, as well as its feet. The soles of its big feet are tan colored. Its bifurcated ears are brown on the outsides and yellow on the insides, and end in a distinctive curl at their bottom-most point. The electric sacs on its cheeks are yellow.

====Gender differences====
A female Raichu has a smaller, blunted lightning bolt at the end of its tail.

===Special abilities===
Although quite small in comparison to many other Pokémon, Raichu is capable of storing over 100,000 volts of electricity in its body. If Raichu’s electricity sacs are fully charged, its ears will stand straight up. Raichu exudes a weak electrical charge from all over its body that makes it slightly glow in the dark. Raichu is also capable of wielding various {{t|fighting}} moves, such as {{m|Focus Punch}}, {{m|Brick Break}} and many more. As Raichu is a fully evolved Pokémon, it is capable of using powerful moves like {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}.

Raichu and its [[evolution]] family, {{p|Pichu}} and {{p|Pikachu}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Volt Tackle}}.

===Behavior===
Raichu is much more aggressive than {{p|Pikachu}}, especially if it has stored too much electricity in its body. It needs to discharge this electricity through its tail into the ground, leading to scorched patches of earth near its nest. However, Raichu can sometimes be timid Pokémon, using {{m|Dig}} to hide or zapping people from fear, especially if it thinks its Trainer is scared of it, as shown in ''[[EP090|Stage Fight!]]''.

It will constantly electrify objects, people, and Pokémon until its electricity level is back to normal. When searching for electricity, Raichu will raise its tail to gather electricity from the atmosphere or plant its tail in the ground.

===Habitat===
[[File:Forest Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]
Raichu are found in forests and vibrant woodlands. It shares its range with that of {{p|Pikachu}}.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

It is likely that Raichu feeds on nuts, seeds and Berries, much like Pikachu.

==Trivia==
* In {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, there is a {{tc|Scientist}} at the [[Pokémon Lab]] in [[Cinnabar Island]] who will trade a Raichu for an {{p|Electrode}}. If the player talks to him after the trade, he will mention that the Raichu evolved, which is not possible. This mistake was due to the original translation of the script of the [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Japanese Blue]] (in which this person traded a Graveler for a Kadabra) rather than that of {{game|Red and Green|s}}. This error was corrected in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, as the script was retranslated.
* Raichu's FireRed Pokédex entry references a 1903 documentary film called Electrocuting an Elephant by {{wp|Thomas Edison}}.
* Several Pokédex entries claim Raichu can discharge up to {{m|Thunderbolt|100,000 volts}}. However, its Stadium entry claims it can only discharge up to 10,000 volts. This is likely a translation error due to the way numbers are read in Japanese, where 100,000 literally reads "ten ten-thousands".
* Raichu [[List of Pokémon that appear in every regional Pokédex|appears in every regional Pokédex]] except the [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Unova Pokédex]].
* Although {{p|Pikachu}} is the starter of {{game|Yellow}}, it is not possible to directly evolve it into Raichu in the game, and must be traded in from {{2v2|Red|Blue}}. This inability to evolve Pikachu is a reference to [[Ash's Pikachu]] in the anime.

===Origin===
Raichu's legs and long tail are like those of a {{wp|kangaroo rat}}.

====Name origin====
Raichu is a combination of 雷 ''rai'' (thunder) and チューチュー ''chūchū'' (the sound of squeaking).

'''Pokémon Double Trouble''' (Japanese: '''タッグバトル！さいごのジム！！''' ''Tag Battle! The Final Gym!!'') is the 108th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on August 12, 1999 and in the United States on September 9, 2000.

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
The episode begins as {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrive at [[Kumquat Island]], a resort island where Ash will also compete in his fourth and final Orange Crew battle. {{an|Misty}} and {{Tracey}} plan to enjoy their time while Ash {{pkmn|battle}}s. They are interrupted by a lady, who mistakes Ash for her son, [[Travis]], who had, like Ash, started a Pokémon journey with a Pikachu. After clearing the confusion, though, the beach is attacked by a {{TRT}} {{p|Rhydon}} robot, driven by {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}} and weaponized by {{TP|James|Weezing}}. Jessie tells Weezing to use {{m|Hyper Beam}}, but it instead uses {{m|Smog}}. It becomes clear that James had never gotten around to teaching Hyper Beam to Weezing. Ash then decides to put a stop to Team Rocket. In retaliation, Jessie has Arbok use {{m|Poison Sting}} on Ash, which is stopped thanks to the woman, whose {{p|Alakazam}} had used {{m|Reflect}} to block the attack, and then {{m|Psychic}} to seal the mechanical Rhydon's mouth shut while another Smog attack is fired. This allows Ash to send out {{AP|Charizard}} amidst Team Rocket confusion, who uses {{m|Take Down}} to deal a blow to the robot. When Arbok accidentally uses {{m|Acid}} to tear a hole in the Rhydon robot, Charizard uses {{m|Flamethrower}} to overload the Rhydon robot's machinery, causing the robot to explode and send Team Rocket flying.

In the middle of the ordeal, the woman is revealed to be [[Luana]], the final member of the [[Orange Crew]], and a local hotelier whose hotel includes a workout Gym and an indoor Pokémon stadium. Ash and his friends are invited to stay in her hotel's most exquisite suite free of charge, and they agree on a "[[Double Battle]]", to be held the next day, for the final Orange League Badge - in the match, both leader and challenger will use two {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} simultaneously. However, the match ends when the first Pokémon is unable to battle, wherein the opposing team are declared the winners.

While in the hotel's hot spring, Ash and Tracey discuss strategy. Ash is committed to have Pikachu battle, but Tracey surmises that Alakazam will battle. Lacking {{t|Ghost}} types or {{t|Bug}} types that could deal an effective blow, Ash ponders who else could stand up to Alakazam's power. The next day, the battle begins with Luana sending out Alakazam and {{p|Marowak}} against Pikachu and Charizard. However, even before the match begins, Pikachu and Charizard are at each other: an innocuous {{m|stomp}} by Charizard had knocked Pikachu over, and the argument between the two escalated until the two were trading attacks, forcing Ash to break up the fight. Even as the match begins, Charizard's {{m|Flamethrower}} manages to hit Pikachu while Pikachu was rushing towards the opponents. When Charizard tries {{m|Tackle}} on Alakazam, and gets hit with {{m|Psychic}} in result, Ash has Pikachu assist Charizard by using {{m|ThunderShock}}- which promptly hits Charizard. This gives Marowak and Alakazam an opening to land successive {{m|Bonemerang}} and Psychic attacks on Charizard.

With Charizard on the ropes (about to eat up another Psychic), Ash warns Pikachu, standing still amidst the beating Charizard is taking, that if Charizard is unable to continue, they will lose the match. Pikachu finally ThunderShocks Alakazam, freeing Charizard. In return, Charizard catches Pikachu after Pikachu is hit by a {{m|Body Slam}} from Marowak soon after. With the two now willing to cooperate, Charizard {{m|Fly|takes to the skies}} with Pikachu in tow, allowing Pikachu to land {{m|Thunderbolt}} on Marowak, who had just launched another Bonemerang. The attack does not faze Marowak, but it manages to knock off its concentration. Meanwhile, Charizard continues to fly towards Alakazam, who was preparing a {{m|Hyper Beam}} to land point-blank on Charizard. When Charizard pulls up at the last minute, Alakazam is hit with the wayward Bonemerang attack, sending it and the charged Hyper Beam backwards. The Hyper Beam tears across the battlefield and into Marowak, knocking both of Luana's Pokémon out, and giving Ash the victory.

After Ash receives the {{Badge|Jade Star}} for the victory, Luana tells Ash that he is finally able to compete in the [[Orange League]] against other qualified Trainers for the right to challenge the leader of the Orange Crew for the League Championship trophy. Leaving Kumquat Island, Luana tells Ash that if should he encounter Travis, he should deliver some greetings from home for him.

==Major events==
* [[Ash's Charizard]] is revealed to know {{m|Tackle}}.
* Ash earns the {{Badge|Jade Star}} by defeating [[Luana]], the fourth and final Badge in the Orange Islands.

==Trivia==
* This episode has the first [[Double Battle]] in the [[Pokémon anime]], if the battles with [[Jessie]] and [[James]] are excluded. However, it should be noted that this battle ends when either one of the Trainer's Pokémon as opposed to future Double Battles when both Pokémon would need to be knocked out to earn the win.
* This is the first of two episodes that featured {{Tracey}} without his headband on.
* Although James revealed that he had intended to teach his {{TP|James|Weezing}} {{m|Hyper Beam}}, he never does get around to actually teaching it.
* After [[Luana]] reveals her status as Gym Leader in the English dub, [[Jessie]] comments "I don't care if you're in the Orange Crew or the Grapefruit League", quite possibly a stealth reference to Major League Baseball's Spring Training league in Florida.
* This is the second episode that Ash is mistaken for a woman's son, the first being ''[[EP027|Hypno's Naptime]]''.

===Errors===
[[File:Ash Charizard Take Down.png|thumb|Charizard's soles error]]
* Before the characters enter the Gym, Luana moves her mouth as if speaking but doesn't actually say anything.
** In the same scene, Luana's lipstick is gone.
* In the training room of the hotel, a {{p|Sandslash}} has the voice of a {{p|Sandshrew}}.
* When [[Ash's Charizard]] uses {{m|Take Down}} on the Rhydon robot, the cream-colored spots on its soles disappears.
* During the battle, Ash's Charizard is affected by {{m|Bonemerang}}, a move that shouldn't hit him because he's part {{t|Flying}}.
* Ash's Charizard uses {{m|Tackle}}, which he and his pre-evolutions [[Anime move errors|can't learn in the games]].
* Marowak was affected by Pikachu's Thunderbolt, but it shouldn't have affected Marowak since it is a {{type|Ground}}.

===Dub edits===
[[File:Kumquat Island Jynx Pinsir.png|thumb|Deleted scene]]
* A scene where Luana squishes Ash's face in between her breasts, thinking that he is her son, is removed from the dub.
* A scene with a Jynx on a treadmill, a Pinsir attacking a punchbag and a Venusaur lifting dumbbells was removed, possibly because it contained Jynx in its original design.
* During Ash's Gym match, Luana commanded her Marowak to use {{m|Body Slam}} on Pikachu in the English dub. In the original Japanese version, she commanded Marowak to use {{m|Double-Edge}}.

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

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

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

===Special abilities===
Cascoon has a tough cocoon, built to repel attacks taken from enemies. It can endure all attacks until evolution, when it can seek revenge.

===Behavior===
It remains motionless while hanging from a tree inside its cocoon. It does not stir even if it is attacked, in which case Cascoon {{m|harden}}s. If it were to flinch in the slightest way, it would have insufficient strength upon [[evolution]]. However, once it evolves, it is hostile towards those who attacked it. To avoid detection by its enemies, it hides motionlessly beneath large leaves and in the gaps of branches. It also attaches dead leaves to its body for camouflage. It is hot inside its cocoon, and all the cells in Cascoon's body create the energy for it to evolve. When cracks appear, evolution is near.

===Habitat===
[[File:Forest Habitat.png|thumb|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Forest Pokémon|Forest Pokémon]]]]
Cascoon prefer to hide and can be hard to find. They prefer to live in dark forests.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Cascoon has been found on [[Honey|Honey trees]]. It is unknown if it is eating the honey or if it evolved on the tree while it was eating it as a Wurmple.

==In the anime==
[[File:Jessie Cascoon.png|thumb|right|Cascoon in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Jessie's Dustox|Jessie's Cascoon]]====
[[Jessie]]'s Wurmple evolved into Cascoon in ''[[AG024|A Corphish out of Water]]''. However, Jessie thought it was a {{p|Silcoon}}. As a result, [[James]] and {{MTR}} were worried that Jessie would be furious when Cascoon evolved into {{p|Dustox}}.

==Game data==
===Pokédex entries===
{{Dex
|type=bug
|gen=3
|rubydex=Cascoon makes its protective cocoon by wrapping its body entirely with a fine silk from its mouth. Once the silk goes around its body, it hardens. This Pokémon prepares for its [[evolution]] inside the cocoon.
|sapphiredex=If it is attacked, Cascoon remains motionless however badly it may be hurt. It does so because if it were to move, its body would be weak upon evolution. This Pokémon will also not forget the pain it endured.
|emeralddex=To avoid detection by its enemies, it hides motionlessly beneath large leaves and in the gaps of branches. It also attaches dead leaves to its body for camouflage.
|frlgdex=Its body, which is made of soft silk, hardens over time. When cracks appear, evolution is near.
|diamonddex=It is hot inside its cocoon. All the cells in its body create the energy for it to evolve.
|pearldex=Encased within its tough cocoon, it endures attacks. It never forgets the appearance of its foes.
|platinumdex=It never forgets any attack it endured while in the cocoon. After evolution, it seeks payback.
|hgssdex=It endures attacks with patience, because the more pain before evolution, the sturdier it becomes.
|bwdex=It never forgets any attack it endured while in the cocoon. After evolution, it seeks payback.
|b2w2dex=It never forgets any attack it endured while in the cocoon. After evolution, it seeks payback.

==Trivia==
* Cascoon shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Metapod}}, {{p|Kakuna}}, and {{p|Silcoon}}. They are all known as Cocoon Pokémon.
** Cascoon is tied with them as the weakest evolved Pokémon in the games, by average base stats.
* Cascoon and Silcoon have the exact same base stats.
* Cascoon, along with Silcoon, can be seen without the limb protrusions on the body in the anime and occasionally in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
** However, [[James]]'s cards containing info about Pokémon showed that Silcoon and Cascoon have those limbs.
* Cascoon is the only Bug-type cocoon-based Pokémon whose Defense stat does not decrease upon evolution.

===Origin===
Cascoon is based on the {{wp|chrysalis}} or cocoon stage of a {{wp|butterfly}} or {{wp|moth}}.

====Name origin====
Cascoon may be a combination of ''cask'' (a container, often cylindrical) and ''{{wp|cocoon}}''. It could also derive from ''cast'', a shell meant for immobilizing part of the body or the method of creating said shell.

Mayuld is a combination of 繭 ''mayu'' (cocoon) and ''shield''.

'''Red''' (Japanese: '''レッド''' ''Red'') is the [[canon]] name of the {{player|player character}} in the [[Generation I]] games {{game4|Red|Green|Blue|Yellow}} and the male choice in their [[Generation III]] remakes {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, where his female counterpart is {{ga|Leaf}}.

Red is known throughout [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] as the {{pkmn|Champion}} from [[Pallet Town]], as well as for his defeat of [[Team Rocket]] in Kanto during his quest. He is the final opponent in the [[Generation II]] games {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, their [[Generation IV]] remakes {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, and {{g|Stadium 2}}. He's also a participant in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]'s [[Champions Tournament]] in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}.

==In the games==
Red is introduced as a curious 11-year-old boy from [[Pallet Town]]. In the instruction manuals of Pokémon Red, Green, and Blue Versions, Red gained an interest in Pokémon after his best friend, {{ga|Blue}}, stopped playing with him and became a bully. His adventure begins one day when [[Professor Oak]] calls the two to his lab for a choice of a [[starter Pokémon]], the last three Pokémon Oak owns. Blue challenges Red to a battle immediately, to test out his new Pokémon, thinking he will easily beat Red.

After Red has made his way to [[Viridian City]] to the north and taken {{key|III|Oak's Parcel|a package}} back to Oak in Pallet Town, Oak gives Red and Blue each a [[Pokédex]] with which to record data on all known Pokémon in the Kanto region. From here, Red and Blue journey across Kanto, collecting Pokémon to build up their teams, and defeating each of the [[Gym Leader]]s in turn, with Blue always one step ahead, showing up from time to time to impede Red's progress.
Red also comes across a gang of Pokémon thieves, [[Team Rocket]], several times through his journey, defeating a group of {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s who are trying to steal [[Fossil]]s from [[Mt. Moon]], a member who is running the [[Nugget Bridge]] challenge to recruit for the organization on {{rt|24|Kanto}}, and another lone member who has stolen a [[TM]] from a family in [[Cerulean City]]. Eventually, Red uncovers a plot by Team Rocket, infiltrating their [[Rocket Hideout|hideout]] beneath the [[Celadon Game Corner]] and encountering their boss, [[Giovanni]]. Defeating him and ousting Team Rocket from Celadon, Red uses the [[Silph Scope]] that Giovanni leaves behind to battle {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon and save [[Mr. Fuji]] in the [[Pokémon Tower]] in [[Lavender Town]], who is being held hostage by a trio of Grunts. Red soon journeys into Saffron City in the heart of Kanto to find it overrun by Team Rocket, who is attempting to take the recently-invented [[Master Ball]] from the [[Silph Co.]] President, and defeats Giovanni again, ending the group's plots for the time being.

With seven Badges in hand, Red encounters Giovanni for the final time—this time as the [[Gym Leader|Leader]] of the [[Viridian Gym]], his final obstacle before the [[Elite Four]] of [[Indigo Plateau]]. Red defeats him in battle, earning his eighth and final Badge—the {{Badge|Earth}}—and causing Giovanni to realize that he has no chance at reviving Team Rocket if he cannot defeat Red. He disbands the organization, promising to go into solo training to better himself.

Making it through {{ka|Victory Road}} and finally to Indigo Plateau, Red defeats the Elite Four and discovers, to his surprise, that Blue has defeated them before him and is the {{pkmn|Champion}}. Red defeats Blue in the final battle, becoming the Champion himself, but then continues his training, rather than staying at Indigo Plateau. Encountering an offshoot of Team Rocket in the southern [[Sevii Islands]], lead by Executive [[Archer]], Red reveals with his Earth Badge that Giovanni has disbanded the organization, and, though defeated, the group there intends to revive Team Rocket and bring Giovanni back, having already made plans to force Pokémon to evolve with radio waves. Red continues as a wandering Trainer, eventually making his way to the caves of [[Mt. Silver]], where he trains his Pokémon alone.

Eventually, {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}, or {{ga|Lyra}} arrives at Mt. Silver and challenges Red, identified only as a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. If defeated, Red vanishes from Mt. Silver, and returns every time the Elite Four is defeated again by the player of Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, or SoulSilver.

In Black 2 and White 2, Red enters the [[Champions Tournament]] of the [[Pokémon World Tournament]].

===Pokémon===
As the player character, Red can have on his team any of the 151 Pokémon available during [[Generation I]]. In [[Generation III]], he can have any of the 386 Pokémon available at that time, though only after the player has obtained the [[National Pokédex]].

When he is encountered as an opponent in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]], Red has a set team, based on Generation I in-game event Pokémon, and has the highest leveled trained Pokémon yet encountered in the series, with his {{p|Pikachu}} at level 81 in Generation II and at level 88 in Generation IV.

In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, he can be fought in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]'s [[Champions Tournament]].

==In the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series==
[[File:Pokemon Trainer Brawl.png|thumb|250px|right|Red in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] with his Pokémon.]]
===Super Smash Bros. Melee===
Red's hat appears in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] as an alternate outfit worn by {{p|Pikachu}}, possibly in reference to the anime or [[Pokémon Adventures]].

===Super Smash Bros. Brawl===
{{main|Pokémon Trainer (Super Smash Bros.)}}
Red himself appears as a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], named only as "Pokémon Trainer", with a team consisting of {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}}. Rather than fighting himself, like the other human characters, Red sends his three Pokémon into battle, switching between them in order. He is voiced by [[Michele Knotz]] in the English version and 半場友恵 ''[[Tomoe Hanba]]'' in the Japanese version.

==In other games==
Red makes an appearance in both [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. While he does not appear in the games' Story Mode, he is playable in the Battle Mode when a FireRed or LeafGreen cartridge is used, with a male player character chosen. He can take on the Mt. Battle's 100-battle challenge, as well as compete in Colosseum battles. Red also made a brief appearance in the debut trailer of [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], having a [[Double Battle|Double Battle]] against {{ga|Leaf}}, using a {{p|Deoxys}} in its Attack Forme and a {{p|Wailord}}. Despite this, he didn't appear in the final cut of the game.

==In the TFG==
{{TFG ID|Next Quest|Red|42}} appears as a common Trainer figure in the launch set, {{TFG|Next Quest}}, of the [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game]]. A recolour of the original figure named {{TFG ID|Groundbreakers|Green|39}}, aptly coloured with green clothes, appears as a Trainer figure in the {{TFG|Groundbreakers}} expansion.

==In the anime==
{{main|Ash Ketchum}}
[[File:Ash catches a Pokemon.png|thumb|250px|right|Ash Ketchum, Red's anime counterpart]]
While Red himself does not appear in the anime, his counterpart, introduced in the [[EP001|first episode]], is the anime's main character, Ash Ketchum. Like Red, Ash is from Pallet Town, on a journey to become a Pokémon Master. Unlike Red, Ash's journey did not end with Kanto, and Ash has continued through every other region introduced in the [[main series]] games, as well as the [[Orange Archipelago]] south of Kanto, taking the place of the player characters of Generation II during Johto, and being joined by the anime counterparts of {{ga|May}} and {{ga|Dawn}} during the Hoenn and Sinnoh sagas. Instead of starting with one of the standard three Kanto starters, however, Ash began his journey with a {{AP|Pikachu}}, inspiring {{game|Yellow}}'s creation, as well as causing some to consider Red and Ash to be the same person, most especially due to Red owning {{ga|Red's Pikachu|one}} as well.

==In the manga==
Red, like most player characters, also has counterparts in the various Pokémon manga, with {{adv|Red}} from the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, {{Zensho|Satoshi}} from [[Pokémon Zensho]] manga, {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} from [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga, and [[Shū]] from [[Pokémon Get da ze!]] manga being among them.

==Trivia==
* Red's title screen and profile front sprites from {{game|Red and Green|s}} correspond to his earlier [[Capsule Monsters]] artwork instead of his final [[Generation I]] artwork, suggesting that the sprites were created very early in the games' development or that [[Game Freak]] forgot to update their aesthetics to match the changes. His title screen sprite was updated in {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} but the profile front sprite remained unchanged.
** In {{game|Yellow}}, due to the completely distinct title screen, Red no longer has a title screen sprite. Although part of the changes made in Pokémon Yellow are directly inspired by the {{pkmn|anime}}, the updates to Red's front sprite seem to be a mix of both matching his then official artwork more accurately and matching [[Ash Ketchum]], his anime counterpart, as the frontal section of his {{wp|cap}} has the same division in the middle as {{Ash}}'s cap from the {{series|original}}. This updated front sprite was then recycled for the [[Generation II]] games. Another possibility is that Pokémon Yellow actually uses the sprite from {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} as these games were in development at least a year prior to the release of Pokémon Yellow in Japan. A similar situation occurs with {{ga|Blue}}.
* Red's [[party]] in the Generation II games and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} is based heavily on in-game events from the Generation I games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}:
** {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, and {{p|Pikachu}} are the [[version]] mascots of the four Generation I games: Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow. They are also available in all iterations of the original [[Kanto]] plot;
** {{p|Espeon}} could have been obtained as an {{p|Eevee}} in [[Celadon City]], and Eevee notably serves as {{ga|Blue}}'s {{pkmn2|starter}} in Pokémon Yellow;
** {{p|Lapras}} is given away by a [[Silph Co.]] employee shortly before [[Team Rocket]] is defeated there;
** Two {{p|Snorlax}} are required to be caught or defeated in order to travel to [[Fuchsia City]]. Furthermore, in the Generation II games and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, only the Snorlax that was previously blocking {{rt|12|Kanto}} (now blocking the entrance to [[Diglett's Cave]]) is available to the {{player}}, suggesting that Red defeated it and caught the one blocking {{rt|16|Kanto}}.
*** All of these {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are also obtainable within Pokémon Yellow: {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} is obtained as the starter Pokémon; Venusaur can be evolved from the {{p|Bulbasaur}} obtained in [[Cerulean City]]; Blastoise can evolved from the {{p|Squirtle}} obtained in [[Vermillion City]]; Charizard can be evolved from the {{p|Charmander}} obtained on {{rt|24|Kanto}}; Snorlax, Eevee, and Lapras can be obtained by the aforementioned in-game events.
*** In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the four version mascots all know their [[Generation III]] [[signature move]]s: Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise know {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}} and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, respectively, while Pikachu knows {{m|Volt Tackle}}. Furthermore, his Pikachu's moveset coincides with the four moves that [[Ash's Pikachu]] used most recently in the anime: Volt Tackle, {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Iron Tail}}, and {{m|Thunderbolt}}.
** His party in the Generation II games also matches that of {{adv|Red}} in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga during his venture to [[Mt. Silver]], although Pokémon Adventures Red only borrowed {{TP|Blue|Charizard}} and [[Blasty|Blastoise]] temporarily from {{adv|Blue}} and {{adv|Green}}, respectively, as he didn't ''own'' those Pokémon.
** In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, apart from his Venusaur and Blastoise being fully evolved, Red's team is identical to that of [[Ash Ketchum]] throughout most of the [[Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands|Orange Islands]] anime arc ([[Ash's Bulbasaur]] and {{AP|Squirtle}} were at the time, and still are presently, in their base forms).
* Until the release of {{game|Platinum}}, Red's party in [[Generation II]] featured the highest-leveled opponent Pokémon a player could face outside of battle arenas such as the {{eng|Pokémon Stadium|Pokémon Stadium series}} and the [[Battle Frontier]], with his Pikachu at [[level]] 81, beating the {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Arceus}} found at the [[Hall of Origin]] by one level. In Pokémon Platinum, {{ga|Barry}}'s party received a boost in level, putting his {{pkmn2|starter|starter Pokémon}} at level 85, while wild {{p|Magikarp}} can be found in the [[Resort Area]] at levels as high as 100, the maximum possible. Due to {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} giving Red's party a level boost as well, with his Pikachu topping at level 88, Red recovered his status as the highest-leveled {{pkmn|Trainer}} opponent.
* When Red is encountered at the summit of Mt. Silver during Generation II and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, he has no speech, merely repeating sets of ellipses before beginning the {{pkmn|battle}}. This is a reference to his silent role in [[Generation I]], as he only answered choice questions like <sc>Yes</sc> or <sc>No</sc>. This unique characteristic remains in later [[generation]]s, especially in the [[remake]]s.
** In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, {{ga|Blue}} sarcastically calls him a "chatty gossip".
** Despite the ellipses before the battle, when talking to {{OBP|Copycat|character}} in Generation I and Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, the dialogue is the following:

<blockquote>{Player}: Hello, do you like <sc>Pok</sc>é<sc>mon</sc>? {Player}: Uh no, I just asked you. {Player}: Huh? You're strange! <sc>Copycat</sc>: Hmm? Quit mimicking? But, that's my favorite hobby!</blockquote>

::Similarly, after giving Copycat a {{DL|Escape item|Poké Doll}} and receiving [[TM31]] in return, another brief chatter ensues if the player talks to her again:

<blockquote>{Player}: Hi, thanks for TM31! {Player}: Pardon? {Player}: Is it that fun to mimic my every move? <sc>Copycat</sc>: You bet! It's a scream!</blockquote>

::This implies that Red is speaking, although it could be that Copycat has nothing to mimic, so she is making up words.
* Hidden data in the [[Generation I]] games reveals placeholder names for Red and {{ga|Blue}}:
** The unused default name for Red in the English [[Generation I]] games is <sc>[[Nintendo|Ninten]]</sc> while {{ga|Blue}}'s is <sc>{{wp|Sony}}</sc>. While it is impossible to view these names during regular gameplay, changing a few {{wp|memory address}}es in {{wp|Random-access memory|RAM}} can allow for these names to appear as shown [http://acmlm.kafuka.org/board/thread.php?pid=18912#18912 here]. This references the fact that in the years surrounding the releases of the Generation I games, Sony was Nintendo's main competition. Ninten is also the default name of the main protagonist of {{wp|Mother (video game)|Mother}}, a game developed by [[Creatures, Inc.]] and which has worked on the [[Pokémon games]] since the start.
** In the Japanese [[Generation I]] games, the unused default names for Red and Blue differ between {{game|Red and Green|s}} and {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} and then between the latter and {{game|Yellow}}<ref>[http://iimarck.us/i/default-names/ Default names]</ref>:
*** In Pokémon Red and Green, Red's unused default name is やまぐち ''Yamaguchi'' while Blue's is いしはら ''Ishihara''. Yamaguchi refers to Wataru Yamaguchi, an art director that worked on the original games, while Ishihara refers to [[Tsunekaz Ishihara]], the current president and {{wp|Chief executive officer|CEO}} of [[The Pokémon Company]] and who was the games' producer at the time.
*** In Pokémon Blue, the unused default names for Red and Blue are, respectively, ゲーフリ ''Gēfuri'', an abbreviation of [[Game Freak]]'s name in Japanese (ゲームフリーク ''Gēmu Furīku''), and クリチャ ''Kuricha'', a reference to [[Creatures, Inc.]]
*** In {{game|Yellow}}, Blue's unused default name remained unaltered while Red's was subtly altered by gaining an extra digit (ゲーフリ１).
* Much like there is minimal information on his {{Ash|anime counterpart}}'s father, Red's father is mentioned only briefly when examining a {{wp|Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES}} at the [[Celadon Department Store]] in the [[Generation I]] games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Red is the only {{pkmn|Trainer}} who uses the {{pkmn|battle}} transition effect from [[Generation II]].
* All of his anime and manga counterparts also own a {{p|Pikachu}}, excluding {{Zensho|Satoshi}} from Pokémon Zensho who evolved his into a {{p|Raichu}}.
* Along with {{ga|Blue}}, [[Lance]], and the [[Generation I]] and {{Gen|III}} [[Kanto]] [[Gym Leader]]s (excluding [[Koga]] and [[Giovanni]]), Red has appeared in every [[generation]] of [[Pokémon games]] so far. He is also the only protagonist with this feat.
* Red is the only [[Champion]] to not appear at the lobby if defeated in the [[Champions Tournament]] of the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]].

'''Heracross''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヘラクロス''' ''Heracros'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Fighting}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Heracross are large beetle-like Pokémon covered in a blue exoskeleton. The most notable feature is the large, pronged horn protruding out of its forehead. Heracross has two antennae with spherical tips to the sides of the horn, and elliptical eyes with yellow scleras. Heracross has small spiky extensions on the forearm segments of its exoskeleton, and two claws on its hands. Heracross has a single spiky extension on each thigh, and one pointed toe on its feet. The lines on its exoskeleton make it look like it is smiling.

====Gender differences====
A female Heracross's horn has a heart-like shape at the end, whereas the male's end in an 'X' shape.

===Special abilities===
Heracross is surprisingly strong for its size, and is able to knock down massive trees with its mighty horn. Heracross can use said horn to lift other Pokémon, and its shell is said to be as tough as steel. Heracross is also able to fly, and is even depicted in the anime to be strong enough in its flying to transport its Trainer over limited distances.

===Behavior===
Heracross live in groups in deep forests. They bite through the bark of trees with their strong jaws to get to the sweet sap inside. This suggests a relation to fellow {{type|Bug}} {{p|Pinsir}}, who share many of the same habits. Heracross's eating habits unwittingly enter them into a symbiotic relationship with {{p|Butterfree}}, who also love tree sap, but lack the strength to get to it. Despite their size, great strength, and powerful horns, Heracross are really docile creatures who prefer peace over resorting to violence.

===Habitat===
[[File:Forest.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]
Heracross prefer to live in deep forests, such as those in [[Johto]], [[Sinnoh]] & the [[Sevii Islands]], where there are many trees for them to suck sap from.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Heracross's preferred diet is mainly made up of sap and other plant juices. This makes them unpopular among {{type|Grass}} Pokémon like {{p|Bulbasaur}}, as Heracross often try to suck nourishment from them. This also makes them easy to attract with [[Honey]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Ash Heracross.png|thumb|250px|right|Heracross in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Heracross]]====
Heracross first appeared in ''[[EP119|A Sappy Ending]]''. Groups of {{p|Pinsir}} and Heracross were having a dispute due to the fact that {{TRT}} was siphoning all the tree sap from the Pinsir side of the forest. One Heracross decided to help {{Ash}} and his friends for this crisis. Ash captured Heracross at the end of the episode.

====Other====
A Heracross appeared in ''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit!]]'' under the ownership of {{an|Dawn}}'s tag battle partner, [[Conway]].

A Heracross appeared in ''[[DP110|Steeling Peace of Mind!]]'' under the ownership of {{an|Barry}}.

A Heracross appeared in [[AG014|''All in a Day's Wurmple'']], under the ownership of [[Forrest Franklin]].

In ''[[AG107|Absol-ute Disaster]]'', a Heracross was owned by a teenager named {{ho|Gordon}}. Gordon's Heracross saved [[Ash's Pikachu]] from falling while [[Ash's Swellow]] was busy saving [[Max]] from falling. It also helped {{p|Absol}} and Ash's, {{an|May}}'s and {{an|Brock}}'s Pokémon, with a long-range attack to push a boulder in order to stop a flood.

A Heracross appeared in the opening of ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''.

==In the manga==
[[File:Lunick Heracross PR.png|thumb|200px|Heracross as it appears in [[W Mission Story: Pokémon Ranger - the Comic]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Heracross is first seen in {{PAV|7}}. While {{adv|Silver}} is communicating with {{adv|Green}} following the conclusion of the {{chap|Yellow}}, he stands in a full shot of [[Sprout Tower]] with a bunch of [[Johto]] Pokémon in the background, Heracross being one of them.

Two Heracross are later seen as two of the Pokémon under [[Bugsy]]'s control, which he later uses one of them to battle [[Sabrina]] in the opening ceremonies of the [[Pokémon League]]. It initially overwhelmed her {{DL|Sabrina|Mr. Mime|Mr. Mime}} due to its type advantage, but lost when it was tricked into using {{m|Endure}} just in time for her to use {{m|Encore}}. After gleefully expounding that this left it powerless, she finished it off with a {{m|Psybeam}} attack.

Another Heracross was seen in {{FB|Arena Tycoon|Greta}}'s arsenal, which was first sent out in her battle against {{adv|Emerald}}. It was able to fight evenly against his [[Emerald's Sceptile|Sceptile]] and outscored it.

===In the W Mission Story: Pokémon Ranger - the Comic manga===
Heracross is one of the Pokémon that Lunick asked for help in [[W Mission Story: Pokémon Ranger - the Comic|the short manga]] based on {{ga|Pokémon Ranger|the game}}.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Heracross only appears as a random trophy.

====Trophy information====
''Heracross are powerful creatures that are known to drive their single horns into the bellies of their foes and then toss them over their heads. The immense power of their {{m|Megahorn}} move is said to be the strongest among Bug Pokémon. They are one of several types of Pokémon that can be found by shaking trees.''

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Heracross.
* Heracross is one of fourteen Pokémon that one could collect [[Meister|foreign Pokédex entries]] for in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* Heracross is the only non-{{t|Flying}} type that learns {{m|Aerial Ace}} by leveling up.
* Heracross is able to learn {{m|Bulk Up}} via [[TM08]] in every generations since its debut, except only in {{game|Black and White|s}}.
* Despite being depicted as capable of flight, Heracross is not part {{type|Flying}}, nor can it have the Ability {{a|Levitate}}. It shares this trait with {{p|Beedrill}}, {{p|Venomoth}}, {{p|Dustox}}, {{p|Volbeat}}, {{p|Illumise}} and {{p|Volcarona}}. Unlike the others, however, Heracross' sprites are not in flight.
** It is also incapable of learning {{m|Fly}}, despite being seen possessing the ability to easily carry a human being in flight, in the anime.
* Heracross can be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Pinsir}}. Both are {{type|Bug}} Pokémon based on beetles who lack an evolutionary family. Unlike Pinsir, Heracross is part {{type|Fighting}}, however, Pinsir does learn several Fighting-type moves by leveling up. They both are also [[version exclusives]] in [[Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]].
* Heracross's {{v2|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} Sugimori artwork has the exact same pose as its original [[Generation II]] artwork. It shares this trait with {{p|Nidorina}} and {{p|Furret}}, whose artwork was in the same pose in both their original [[Generation I]] and {{Gen|II}} and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} art respectively.

===Origin===
Heracross is most likely based on the {{wp|Japanese rhinoceros beetle|kabutomushi}}, a very popular species of {{wp|rhinoceros beetle}} found in Japan and other parts of Asia. These beetles are known for their incredible strength, and use in {{wp|insect fighting}}, which explains its {{t|Fighting}} type.

====Name origin====
Heracross and Heracros are a combination of Ἡρακλῆς, ''Hēraklēs'' ({{wp|Heracles}}, a demigod of Greek mythology, whose {{wp|Hercules|Roman mythological analogue}} has given name to the {{wp|Hercules beetle}}) and ''cross''.

'''Floe Island''' (Japanese: '''こおりしま''' ''Ice Island'') is the fourth and smallest island in the [[Sevii Islands]] archipelago. It is south of [[Knot Island]], and west of [[Chrono Island]].
When the player first arrives at the island and walks outside of the dock building the rival comes up to them and explains to them that they can't fill up their [[Pokédex]] without the use of breeding and hatching eggs, referring to [[Baby Pokémon]] because they can't be found in the wild.

The town of [[Four Island (town)|Four Island]] is the hometown of [[Lorelei]] of the [[Elite Four]]. It is here that she was first taught about Pokémon when she was just a young girl. Lorelei still resides in the town. Her house has a large collection of [[Pokémon dolls]] she has collected.

Floe Island is also host to a very large [[Pokémon Daycare]] run by an elderly couple. For a small fee, they will watch after two of a trainer's Pokémon and raise their levels. Leaving compatible Pokémon at this daycare will result in a [[Pokémon egg]] being laid.

Next to the [[Poké Mart]], there is a house owned by a man who will put stickers on the Trainer's Cards of trainers who have accomplished a difficult task, such as defeating the Elite Four, hatching Pokémon Eggs, or completing the [[Pokédex]].

While the Sevii Islands are mostly tropical, there is one exception - a cave on Floe Island. The cave is on the northeast section of the island past a small lake. It is freezing inside the cave, due to the high population of {{type2|Ice}} Pokémon that live there. For this reason, it is known as [[Icefall Cave]]. During {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, [[Team Rocket]] arrives here; however, with the help of the player, Lorelei and her {{p|Lapras}}, whom she met in the cave during her youth, will be able to drive out the villains to their home base on [[Chrono Island]].

To reach this island, a person has to have a {{DL|Sevii Island passes|Rainbow Pass}}, instead of the ordinary {{DL|Sevii Island passes|Tri-Pass}}.

Individual values

Pac: /* Shininess */ Grammar fix; "whether" already implies "or not"

{{redirect|IV|the fourth generation of Pokémon games|Generation IV}}
'''Individual values''', '''IVs''' for short, sometimes also known as '''determinant values''', '''DVs''' for short, are the Pokémon equivalent of {{wp|genes}}. They are instrumental in determining the [[stats]] of a Pokémon, being responsible for the large variation in stats among untrained Pokémon of the same species.

==Overview==
Each of the six battle stats has an IV associated with it, with that IV coming into calculation alongside the Pokémon's [[base stats]] and {{EV}}s to determine the actual stat number. A Pokémon's IVs are determined when it is generated by the game; when it is obtained as an egg from the [[Pokémon Day Care]], encountered in the wild, or given to the player by an NPC.

===Generation I===
In Generation I, there were only four IVs stored for each individual Pokémon: Attack, Defense, Speed, and Special. Each of these covered the respective stat, with the HP IV determined from the IVs stored for the other four. IVs had a range from 0-15, in binary 0000-1111, with the HP IV taking the final binary digit of the Attack, Defense, Speed, and Special IVs and placing it, in that order, for its own IV. As such, a Pokémon with an odd-number Attack IV had 8 added to its HP IV, Defense had 4 added, Speed had 2 added, and Special had 1 added.

The IVs' determination of stats follow the below formulas:

| 10 (1010)
| style="{{roundybr|5px}}" | 12 (1100)
|} 

===Generation II===
To maintain backwards compatibility with the Generation I games, IVs remained unchanged, though now the four stored IVs covered for six stats. Whereas the HP IV's matter of determination went unchanged from the original games, the Special IV now covered for both Special Attack and Special Defense, being used in the calculations for both of them.

Several things aside from stats came to be based on the randomly-generated IVs, however, in Generation II. While most of these would, in [[Generation III]] and later games, go on to be determined instead by the [[personality value]] of the Pokémon, the type and power of the move {{m|Hidden Power}} remains to the present based on a Pokémon's IV set.

====Gender====
A Pokémon's [[gender]] was determined based solely on its Attack IV when compared to a [[List of Pokémon by gender ratio|specific value native to each Pokémon species]]. If the Attack IV was less than the gender code associated with the Pokémon's species, it would be female, whereas in all other instances, the Pokémon would be male. For species of only one gender, or those with no gender, the calculation based on the Attack IV is ignored.

Due to this calculation, it is impossible to obtain a female Pokémon with high Attack, unless the Pokémon is a member of an all-female species like {{p|Jynx}} or {{p|Chansey}}. Starter Pokémon and others with a gender ratio of seven males to one female suffer the most, with the maximum Attack IV for a female Pokémon of those species being 1.

For two {{p|Cyndaquil}} obtained from [[Professor Elm]]:

|} 

====Shininess====
Whether a Pokémon is {{Shiny}} is also determined by IVs, though in a much more specific manner than its gender is. A Shiny Pokémon, in Generation II only, must have IVs of 10 in Defense, Speed, and Special, as well as an IV of 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, 14, or 15 in Attack. Such a lineup only has a 1/8192 chance of occurring, the standard rarity of a Shiny Pokémon to this day.

Due to the lineup excluding Pokémon with a 0 or 1 IV, female Pokémon of species with a seven male to one female ratio can never be Shiny in Generation II.

| style="{{roundybr|5px}}" colspan="2" | 5 (0101)
|} 

====Hidden Power====
{{main|Hidden Power calculation}}
The calculated [[elemental type|type]] and [[power]] of the move {{m|Hidden Power}} is based on the IVs of the Pokémon. Hidden Power can be of any type aside from {{t|Normal}}, as well as have a power between 30 and 70.

====Unown's Letter====
{{p|Unown}}'s letter in Generation II is taken from the combination of the center two bits of the Attack, Defense, Speed and Special IV {{wp|nibble}}s. This combination is then divided by ten, and the result is [[wp:Floor_function|rounded down (''floor[]'')]] to only include the integer part of the number. This integer will range from 0-25, corresponding to a letter in the Latin alphabet, which will be the Unown's letter (where 0=A, 1=B, 2=C, ..., 23=X, 24=Y, 25=Z, and not including '!' or '?', which were introduced in Generation III).

In Generation II, due to this method of calculating Unown's letter and the way that {{Shiny}} Pokémon are determined, a Shiny Unown can only exist in the shape of the letter I or V.

From Generation III onwards, Unown's letter is determined by the Pokémon's [[personality value]].

|} 

===Generation III===
In Generation III, the IV system was completely overhauled. Now, rather than having a range of 0-15, IVs would have a range of 0-31, with HP and Special Defense getting their own individually-determined IVs. The formula for calculation of stats by IVs was also changed, as with the IV system the {{EV}} system was also modified, and [[Nature]]s, newly-introduced, now modified certain stats either by raising or lowering them by 10%. The [[personality value]] handles a Pokémon's [[gender]], {{Shiny|Shiny status}}, and several other aspects.

This new system is part of the reason why it is impossible to trade between [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]] games.

The Generation III-on determination of stats follows the following two formulas:

[[File:HPStatCalcGen34.png]]

[[File:OtherStatCalcGen34.png]]

The IVs are now all stored together as a single 32-bit integer, separate from the equally-large [[personality value]], which is used to determine other aspects of a Pokémon. This integer's highest bits, single numbers, determine which of two Abilities a Pokémon has (if it has potential to have more than one) and whether or not the Pokémon is an unhatched egg or not. The remaining 30 bits are the IVs, five bits apiece, in the order of Sp. Def, Sp. Atk, Speed, Defense, Attack, and HP.

|} 

If the Pokémon's species can have only one Ability in Generation III, the Ability bit is forced to 0 by the game, as being 1 in this instance would cause the Pokémon in question to have "No ability" listed as their ability. This number is rechecked against the [[personality value]] upon evolution in Generation IV, allowing for a {{p|Zigzagoon}} with {{a|Pickup}} to retain the Ability if it is sent through [[Pal Park]] regardless of its personality value, but changing its Ability to {{a|Gluttony}} upon evolution into {{p|Linoone}} if the personality value does not match what the Ability should be.

In {{game|Emerald}}, an [[Stats judge#In Generation III|elderly man]] in the house north of the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}'s [[Pokémon Center]] will inspect a Pokémon in the player's party and give information about its IVs, revealing which of them is the highest in a vague manner.

===Generation IV===
In Generation IV, much like in Generation II, the IV system was, for the most part, retained from the previous incarnation. Slight alteration was made to the meaning of the highest bit, which now, rather than indicating the Ability of the Pokémon, indicated whether or not it was nicknamed, and thus, made certain that a Pokémon traded to a foreign game without this bit set would evolve and change its name to that language's species name. For example, a {{p|Caterpie}} caught in a Japanese game and named キャタピー, when traded to an English game and evolved into a {{p|Metapod}}, would be named METAPOD, rather than keeping the name キャタピー, as happens in [[Generation III]] games when trading between languages. This bit's restriction can be circumvented, however, if a Pokémon is nicknamed the species name of its evolved form.

Additionally, [[Characteristic|a small blurb]] was added to Pokémon status screens that indicates the highest IV in a roundabout way. Rather than explicitly stating it, one of 30 of these short sentences is chosen, depending on which of the six stats the highest IV is in and how much more than a multiple of five it is.

A man who will check a Pokémon's IVs again appears in the games, this time in the {{si|Battle Tower}} or {{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}}. Much like his Generation III counterpart, he will state the Pokémon's IVs in only a roundabout way.

===Generation V===

In this generation, a man who checks the Pokémon's IVs appears in the [[Battle Subway]].

(The first statement)
If the IV total is between 0 and 90:
"This Pokémon's potential is decent all around."
If the IV total is between 91 and 120:
"This Pokémon's potential is above average overall."
If the IV total is between 121 and 150:
"This Pokémon has relatively superior potential overall."
If the IV total is between 151 and 186:
"This Pokémon has outstanding potential overall."

(The second statement)
If the highest IV is between 0 and 15: "It's rather decent in that regard."
If the highest IV is between 16 and 25: "It's very good in that regard."
If the highest IV is between 26 and 30:"It's fantastic in that regard."
If the highest IV is 31: "It can't be better in that regard."

Dratini are said to not exist or be one-of-a-kind Pokémon, as they are so rare. However, they are found in several places, including the [[Kanto Safari Zone]], [[Dragon's Den]], and [[Mt. Coronet]].

==In the anime==
[[Image:DratiniAnime.jpg|frame|right|Dratini in the anime]]Dratini first appeared in [[EP035]]. The Warden of the [[Kanto Safari Zone|Safari Zone]] was protecting the Tiny Dragon Pokémon. The episode was banned from English-audience due to excessive use of a firearm.

Dratini was also in ''[[EP251|Beauty is Skin Deep]]''. This Dratini belonged to [[Clair]] and [[Team Rocket]] wanted to steal it from her. Clair's Dratini evolved into a Dragonair at the end of the episode.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Special===
Dratini first debuted in [[PS036|''Drat That Dratini!'']] in the [[Viridian Forest]]. It had been attacking {{Special|Yellow}} but was calmed by {{special|Red}}.

Dratini was seen in a flashback of [[Lance]]'s as a Pokémon harmed by human industrialization. This motivated Lance to formulate his plot to destroy humanity many years later.

==Trivia==
*Dratini's prototype name was "Dragoon," meaning a European military unit, but was probably used as a play on the word "dragon," or as a combination of "dragon" and "lagoon."
*Controversy in [[EP035|the episode]] where Dratini is introduced caused the episode to be banned from American audiences due to a character placing a gun in Ash's face (among a few others). Dratini and Dragonair have made appearances since, unlike {{p2|Porygon|other Pokémon from banned episodes}}.
*Dratini's [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Red, Blue]], and [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Green]] sprites looked more like snakes or worms than dragons because of the stripes on its underbelly (which were removed in Yellow).
*Dratini is the first {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon by [[National Pokédex]] order. It is also the last Pokémon to have a [[Generation I]] type that is not shared with a Pokémon of a lower number.
*Dratini and its evolutions share the same [[species]] name with {{p|Horsea}} and its evolutions and {{p|Salamence}}. They are all known as Dragon Pokémon.
*In its {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} {{shiny2}} sprites, it's shown to be a slightly darker blue. However in the newer games, its shiny form is pink.
*Even though Dratini lives in water and can learn Water/Ice type moves, it is not a Water-type itself.
===Origin===
It appears to be based upon {{wp|sea serpent}}s or ''lóng'', traditional {{wp|Chinese dragon}}s who bring good luck.
====Name origin====
Dratini's name appears to be a combination of ''{{wp|dragon}}'' and ''teeny'', meaning small. Despite this, it is fairly large for a [[Pokémon]], being nearly six feet (1.8 meters) in length. The name may also be a pormanteau of the words "Dragon" and "Martini," a reference to James Bond. Its Japanese name, a combination of ''miniature'' and 竜 ''ryū'', dragon, has a similar meaning.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Dratini
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Minidraco - Comes from ''miniature'' and ''draco'', which is Latin for "dragon".
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 미뇽 ''Minyong''
