Pallukun: /* Incorrect category */ new section

Can Wurmple evolve into both forms in either Generation IV game? Neither this article nor the ones on [[Eterna Forest]], {{p|Silcoon}}, and {{p|Cascoon}} are quite clear on this. [[User:Dansiman|Dansiman]] 21:11, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

:Yes, since it is based on Personality value anyway. [[User:Tina|Tina]] [[Special:Contributions/Tina|δ]][[User talk:Tina|♫]] 21:12, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

::Okay, just checking that maybe the game prevents them from generating with the PVs that would allow the other evolution. [[User:Dansiman|Dansiman]] 22:42, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

==Personality Value==
Emerald arrived at my house yesterday, and last night my {{tt|Adamant|<nowiki>PV=3</nowiki>}} evolved into a Cascoon. It can't be guaranteed for the PV to alter the evolution every time, can it? [[User:Porygon-Z|'''Por''']][[User:Porygon-Z/Trade|'''ygo''']][[User:Porygon-Z/Dracofang Gym|'''n-Z''']] 10:03, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
:Nature != Personality value. PV determines nature, but it determines gender, shinyness, and so on. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 14:00, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
::But that doesn't explain why my Wurmple didn't evolve into a Silcoon. Or does it?? [[User:Porygon-Z|'''Por''']][[User:Porygon-Z/Trade|'''ygo''']][[User:Porygon-Z/Dracofang Gym|'''n-Z''']] 18:47, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
:::Okay, it goes like so!
:::The variable p (the personality value itself) is a 32-bit integer. Meaning, of course, that it can be any number from 00000000000000000000000000000000 (value in decimal of 0) to 11111111111111111111111111111111 (value in decimal of 4294967295).
:::Nature is p%25. That's essentially "whatever is the remainder when p is divided by 25". Since yours was Adamant, it has a personality value of 25x+3.
:::Gender is essentially determined by the last eight digits in the p value (in binary!), and if it's less than a byte stored in the base stats (which are unique to each Pokémon species) it's female, while greater than is male. That's why the gender ratios for the starters are divided into eighths: the base stat value is 00000001, which only 00000000 is less than, meaning there's only a 1/8 chance of getting a female starter. I dunno what your Wurmple's gender is, so I can't figure that out either.
:::Wurmple evolution is determined by the last sixteen digits in the p value (also in binary!). Whatever the value of ''this'' is is then modulo divided by 10. If the remainder is 0-4, it's Silcoon. 5-9, it's Cascoon. Since your Wurmple became a Cascoon, its PV ends in 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, which combined with the earlier determination, means it ends in 8, and x (in that thing up there) is an odd number.
:::Shininess (or lack thereof) is determined by the OT values and the personality value. To know ''this'' you '''''must''''' know your secret ID. Essentially, it checks to see if your Trainer ID no. and your secret ID no. are not the same, and stores this value in a boolean variable. It then checks to see if the first sixteen digits and last sixteen digits of the personality value in binary are not the same (such as 10001011011100101000101101110010), and stores that boolean value. It then checks if the two stored values are themselves the same. If they are, pow, shiny. If not, nope, you got one of the 8191 that aren't.
:::And so you now can see the complexity of the personality value. I just figured it out myself, actually, and I hope I did it right. Far as I know it's a 32-bit integer, since that's what each of the IVs is. We really should redo the game mechanics articles to make them in more understandable English... not everyone speaks computer.

::::Well I guess this will help me when I get Emerald again. There's a new one in the mail for me, the one I got sent keeps getting corrupted. I even ran into a shiny Zigzagoon...if I knew that there was a problem like that I would have migrated it right away. But anyway thanks, Beautifly's one of my favs!

== Evolution ==

Are you sure Wurmple's evolution is based on personality? On my Ruby game, I accidentally set the clock twelve hours out, so that it was PM when it should be AM, and every single Wurmple that I caught evolved into a Cascoon, to the point where I thought Silcoon was unobtainable/exclusive to Sapphire or something. Then I realised the problem with the clock, started a new game, and then I managed to evolve a Wurmple into a Silcoon. From my experience, Wurmple's evolution seems to be affected by the time of day, evolving into Silcoon during the day and Cascoon at night. Although, it could just be a coincidence, of course. [[User:Taromon777|'''''Taromon''''']] 14:50, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

I agree with you very much, as I trust my guide books. See below. ----[[User:Zewis29|Zewis29]] ([[User talk:Zewis29|Talk]], [[Special:Contributions/Zewis29|Contribs]]) 00:16, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

I think Wurmple will evolve into a silcoon if you only use tackle and a cascoon if you only use poison sting. I have played my emerald version hundreds of times and i have always gotten the pokemon I wanted using this little known fact. Just to be sure would someone be willing to try it out. Remember, Tackle only=Silcoon. Poison Sting only=Cascoon. thanks. [[User:Slowbrah|Slowbrah]] 07:32, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
:I just tested it for you, I got a Cascoon while using only tackle. If it's been working for you you've either got very lucky, or not done enough tests. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 07:51, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

== What Personality Values? ==

I understand what was said in the above section. In one of my Generation III Emerald guide books, it specifically said, quote, "... '''Which evolution it makes is determined by the time of day''', though the timing is so complex it seems random." (That was Nintendo Power's guide.)

P.S. If it means anything, my EBGames book says that it is random, but that probably means something else. ----[[User:Zewis29|Zewis29]] ([[User talk:Zewis29|Talk]], [[Special:Contributions/Zewis29|Contribs]]) 00:14, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
:Various strategy guides say that, but it isn't true. It is personality value. You can test it yourself. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 07:36, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

== Origin ==

Exactly how does Wurmple resemble an earwig? Earwigs are skinny black insects with six legs, two extremely long feelers, and enormous pincers. Wurmple is a red/purple caterpillar with about 10 legs, stubby things that sort of look like pincers, and a horn on its head. [[User:Dimenticare|Dimenticare]] ([[User talk:Dimenticare|talk]]) 02:03, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

== Game Locations ==

Should it not be stated that Wurmple is only available in Pokémon Platinum at daytime (except for in Honey Trees), therefore making it a diurnal Pokémon in Pokémon Platinum.--[[User:ShinyPatch|ShinyPatch]] ([[User talk:ShinyPatch|talk]]) 19:42, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

== Something seriously wrong on this page ==

I think there's a big issue with the game location of Wurmple in the Gen III games, no? {{unsigned|Queenwillneverdie}}
:Just saying "a big issue" is really not very informative... [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 13:57, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
::I will take three bites. Does it have to do with any of the following: The games being colored white, Petalburg Woods coming before the Routes, or that it doesn't mention about breeding? --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 08:06, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
:::I can tell you those aren't it. I managed to figure it out and [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Wurmple_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&diff=2154935&oldid=2129708 fixed] what it was. But if Queenwillneverdie had said exactly what was wrong, I wouldn't have been half so confused as I was initially...

::::I am sorry --[[User:Queenwillneverdie|Queenwillneverdie]] ([[User talk:Queenwillneverdie|talk]]) 09:05, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

== Giant Silkmoth Caterpillar ==

The origin section simply states that Wurmple was based on a caterpillar, but I think it was specifially based on giant silkmoth caterpillars (given Silcoon/Cascoon and Dustox). Giant silkmoth caterpillars also turn reddish when ready to pupate. [[User:Icycatelf|Icycatelf]] ([[User talk:Icycatelf|talk]]) 01:28, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

== Wurmple in Beta Legends: Arceus ==

In early footage of Legends: Arceus, Wurmple is seen with a [https://64.media.tumblr.com/8d441ea46a2890aab0a1beb5219cd525/61c46aed53ed90cf-5e/s2048x3072/d97b6703d808603d786ffdcb157c6400f60a0ace.png yellow horn] on the back of its head. Is this worth mentioning anywhere like how Gogoat's beta shiny is mentioned in its respective article? And on a similar note, what about the tailless Galarian Ponyta from the livestream promoting Sword and Shield? Would that be at all noteworthy to include on its page? Or should these things be mentioned on the beta pages for those games instead? [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']]''' 10:49, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

==Evolution==
"In Hisui, Wurmple evolves either Silcoon during the day or Cascoon during in the night."
This is false, I just got both a Silcoon and a Cascoon, both Wurmples evolved at night. {{unsigned|Zatiel}}
:I confirmed likewise, by saving before evolving Wurmple, then evolving it both during the day and at night. I've removed this incorrect claim from the page. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:00, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

==Wild Evolutions==
Is it worth noting that it is possible for wild Silcoon/Cascoon/Beautifly/Dustox to have "impossible" personality values (e.g. a wild Silcoon with a personality value that would've made Wurmple evolve into Cascoon)?--[[User:Goukazaru|Gou]] ([[User talk:Goukazaru|talk]]) 06:04, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

==Beauregard's Wurmple==
In LA, Beauregard's Wurmple always evolves into Cascoon, regardless of the personality value of the Wurmple you actually gave him. You can give him a Wurmple set up to evolve into Silcoon (which of course you can check by saving, evolving, and resetting) and it still becomes a Cascoon.--[[User:Goukazaru|Gou]] ([[User talk:Goukazaru|talk]]) 18:02, 12 October 2024 (UTC)

== Incorrect category ==

Wurmple is listed as "part of a two stage line" instead of three stage line. The category markings don't appear on the page, so I wasn't able to correct it. Someone that knows how it's been formatted should change it

'''Quick Guard''' (Japanese: '''ファストガード''' ''Fast Guard'') is a non-damaging {{type|Fighting}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation V]].

==Effect==
{{main|Protection}}
Quick Guard protects all Pokémon on the user's side of the field from moves that have increased [[priority]] during that turn, such as {{m|Quick Attack}} or {{m|Aqua Jet}}.

If the user goes last in the turn, the move will fail.

{{cat|Moves that break protection}} will remove the effects of Quick Guard; {{m|Feint}}, despite being a priority move, will do full damage and remove the protection. The Ability {{a|Unseen Fist}} allows [[contact]] moves to bypass Quick Guard.

[[Status move]]s that are unaffected by protection are [[Protection#Unprotectable moves|listed here]]. This primarily applies if they are given priority by an Ability like {{a|Prankster}}.

This move has +3 [[priority]], so it will be executed before most other moves.

{{m|Fake Out}}, despite having increased priority, can potentially hit a Pokémon before Quick Guard would take effect, due to them both having the same priority level. As such, the Pokémons' {{stat|Speed}} stats determine whether Fake Out will be successful. {{m|Snatch}} is the only priority move Quick Guard cannot block due to it having a higher priority level than Quick Guard.

===Generation V===
The following effects only apply to this generation.

The chance that Quick Guard will succeed drops each time the user successfully and consecutively uses {{m|Endure}}, any [[protection]] move that [[Protection#Moves that protect only the user|only affects the user]], Quick Guard, or {{m|Wide Guard}}. Each time, the chance of success is multiplied by 1/2.

Quick Guard does not block moves that have been given an increased priority through {{a|Prankster}} that would not usually have one.

If a Pokémon uses Feint or {{m|Shadow Force}} to attack its own ally who is protected by Quick Guard, Quick Guard will not be dispelled.

===Generation VII onwards===
If powered up by a [[Fightinium Z]] into Z-Quick Guard, the user's {{stat|Defense}} stat rises by one stage.

The user gives itself and teammates in the same room the {{DL|Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)|Quick Guard}} status condition for one turn. This status protects Pokémon from moves that are used from more than one space away. The Pokémon can still take damage from items or explosions.

The chance of the move failing rises if the user's most recently used move was Quick Guard or a move that evades enemies' attacks (such as {{m|Detect}} or {{m|Endure}}).

}}
The Hoenn '''[[Safari Zone]]''' (Japanese: '''サファリゾーン''' ''Safari Zone'') is a special {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} preserve where {{pkmn|Trainer}}s can enter to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} [[wild Pokémon]]. The entrance is on [[Hoenn]]'s {{rt|121|Hoenn}}.

In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, this Safari Zone is only accessible to Trainers participating in the Safari Game. In a Safari Game, {{player}}s may only use [[Safari Ball]]s, and rather than weaken wild Pokémon in battle, players must use non-conventional tactics to try and catch them. For {{PDollar}}500, the player is granted entry and 30 Safari Balls. In Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, the player is limited to 500 steps and the player is only allowed entry if they also have a [[Pokéblock Case]].

In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the Safari Game has been removed, and players can enter the Safari Zone area without paying a fee. Pokémon found here are now collected through normal battles. Each area also now has both [[Tall grass|tall]] and {{DL|tall grass|long grass}}, and while encounters between them are mostly the same, two rare Pokémon in each area can only be found in one type of grass specifically.

==Geography==
Certain areas of the Safari Zone can only be accessed with the [[Mach Bike]] or the [[Acro Bike]]. In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, all areas are accessible with either Bike and {{m|Surf}}, but in some areas, only one type of grass will be accessible without using the other Bike. In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, there are also [[breakable rock]]s that can be used to encounter Pokémon. In {{v2|Emerald}}, after the player obtains the [[National Pokédex]], two new areas will open up to the east, featuring many [[Johto]] Pokémon not found in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} or {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.

===Areas===
[[File:Hoenn Safari Zone numbered E.png|thumb|200px]]
[[File:Safari Zone ORAS.png|thumb|200px]]
*Area 1 houses the entrance.
**In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the [[Acro Bike]] and {{m|Surf}} are required to reach the {{DL|tall grass|long grass}} within this area.
*Area 2 is directly west of Area 1.
**In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the [[Mach Bike]] is required to reach the long grass within this area.
*Area 3 is directly north of Area 2. This area can only be accessed with a [[Bicycle|Bike]].
**In Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, the Mach Bike is required to access this area.
**In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the Mach Bike is required to reach the tall grass within this area, while the Acro Bike is required to reach the long grass.
*Area 4 is directly north of Area 1. This area can only be accessed with a Bike.
**In Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, the Acro Bike is required to access this area.
**In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the Acro Bike is required to reach the tall grass within this area, while the Mach Bike and Surf are required to reach the long grass.
*Area 5 is directly east of Area 1. It is only accessible in {{v2|Emerald}}, and only after the player has entered the [[Hall of Fame]].
*Area 6 is directly north of Area 5. It is only accessible in Emerald, and only after the player has entered the Hall of Fame.

===Pokéblock feeders===
In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, there are Pokéblock feeders throughout the Safari Zone. If a Pokéblock is placed in a feeder, there is an 80% chance of wild Pokémon encountered in [[tall grass|grass patches]] and [[water tile]]s up to five steps away from the feeder being forced to have a Nature such that, if an identically flavored Pokéblock were thrown at it, the Pokémon would be enthralled (i.e. its preferred [[flavor]] dominates its disliked flavor in the Pokéblock); the feeder has no effect if no such Nature exists. Only one Pokéblock may occupy a feeder, and the feeder's effect disappears after 100 steps are taken.

Due to an oddity in the programming of Pokéblock feeders, forced Natures do not have a uniform distribution. This causes Natures with higher ID numbers to be more common than [[Nature]]s with lower ID numbers. For example, if a green (bitter) Pokéblock is in the feeder and forces an enthralling Nature: Calm has an 8.71% chance to be forced, Gentle has a 15.61% chance to be forced, Sassy has a 27.66% chance to be forced, and Careful has a 48.02% chance to be forced (approximately).

==Safari Game==
In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, the Safari Zone is only accessible to Trainers participating in the Safari Game. In a Safari Game, players may only use Safari Balls; rather than weaken them in battle, players must use non-conventional tactics to try and catch wild Pokémon. There are four options on the battle screen: throw a [[Safari Ball]], throw a [[Pokéblock]], go near, and run away. Throwing Pokéblocks makes a Pokémon less likely to run but harder to catch, while going near makes a Pokémon easier to catch but more likely to run.

When a Pokémon is encountered in the Safari Zone, the game will track catch and escape factors for it. The catch factor is initially set by dividing the Pokémon's [[catch rate]] by 12.75 (precisely: multiplied by 100 and divided by 1275) and rounding down. This has the effect of scaling the catch rate to a range of 0 to 20 (with any 0 value further set to 1, though this does not occur in natural gameplay). The escape factor starts with a value of 3.

These factors are then modified when the player takes an action, as described in the following table.

|- style="background:#FFF"

|- style="background:#FFF"
| Throwing a Pokéblock the third time, and the Pokémon is enthralled || No change || Decrease by 2
|- style="background:#FFF"
| Throwing a Pokéblock each subsequent time, and the Pokémon is enthralled || No change || Decrease by 1
|- style="background:#FFF"
| Throwing a Pokéblock the first time, and the Pokémon is curious || No change || Decrease by 3
|- style="background:#FFF"
| Throwing a Pokéblock the second time, and the Pokémon is curious || No change || Decrease by 2
|-
| style="background:#FFF; {{roundybl|5px}}" | Throwing a Pokéblock each subsequent time, and the Pokémon is curious
| style="background:#FFF" | No change
| style="background:#FFF; {{roundybr|5px}}" | Decrease by 1
|}
A Pokéblock will only affect the escape factor if the escape factor is greater than 1. Otherwise, if the escape factor would become negative, it is set to 1 instead. Both factors are also limited to a maximum value of 20.

The Pokémon's reaction to a Pokéblock depends on the combination of its disliked or preferred [[flavor]]s: it is enthralled if its preferred flavor is greater than its disliked flavor, curious if they are equal, and ignores the Pokéblock if its preferred flavor is less than its disliked flavor. If a Pokéblock is ignored, the escape factor is not affected, but it still counts as thrown for the purpose of throwing subsequent Pokéblocks.

If the player tries to catch the Pokémon using a Safari Ball, the scaling of the catch factor is undone by multiplying it by 12.75 (1275/100) and rounding down to obtain a "modified" catch rate. The effect of these mechanics on the chance of ultimately catching the Pokémon is approximately a 2.5% change for every unit change in the capture factor, with an initial capture probability of approximately <code>catch_rate / 510</code> rounded down to the nearest multiple of 0.025 (2.5%), or 0.025 if it would be less.

Whether a Pokémon will try to escape is determined at the start of each turn. A random value from 0 to 99 (inclusive) is compared to the escape factor times 5: if the random value is less, the Pokémon will flee at the end of the turn (if not captured). These numbers translate to a 5% change in probability of escaping for every unit change in the escape factor, with an initial 15% chance of escape.

===Pokéblock throw bug===
In Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, instead of the escape factor having a minimum value of 1 (5% chance to flee) like the catch factor, the game is coded to set the escape factor to 1 if it would become negative due to a thrown Pokéblock. This means it is possible for the player to throw Pokéblocks such that a Pokémon's escape factor becomes exactly 0, and the Pokémon will have a 0% chance to escape. Exploiting this can make it very easy to catch Hoenn Safari Zone Pokémon. Though, it is worth noting that if the "escape factor" is ever equal to 1, the game will not reduce it further regardless of which Pokéblocks are thrown by the player.

Due to an oddity in the programming of Pokéblock Feeders, the distribution of wild Pokémon's Natures is not even across each of the possibilities. This causes Calm Pokémon to only spawn in 1/10 encounters if a bitter Pokéblock is in the feeder while Careful-Natured Pokémon will occur in nearly 4/10 encounters. This gives players an opportunity to greatly increase the effectiveness of their Pokéblock manipulation.

The optimal catching strategy for exploiting this is as follows:

Make two single-[[flavor]] green{{tt|*|Can be created with a Rawst Berry at the Pokéblock Mixers that have 3 NPCS}} Pokéblocks, and one red{{tt|*|Can be created with a Cheri Berry at the Pokéblock Mixers that have 3 NPCS}} Pokéblock. Put one green Pokéblock into a feeder and start a wild encounter near that feeder. Yellow{{tt|*|Can be created with a Aspear Berry at the Pokéblock Mixers that have 3 NPCS}}, pink{{tt|*|Can be created with a Pecha Berry at the Pokéblock Mixers that have 3 NPCS}} and blue{{tt|*|Can be created with a Chesto Berry at the Pokéblock Mixers that have 3 NPCS}} Pokéblocks can be used instead of green, green is just the most effective. A red Pokéblock in the feeder can be paired with a yellow Pokéblock as well.

When the battle starts...
* If the Pokémon's [[catch rate]] is higher than 200, '''throw Safari Balls'''.
* Otherwise, throw a Pokéblock of a color not in the feeder (by default red)
** 1) If the Pokémon is curious (escape factor = 0), '''throw Safari Balls'''.
** 2) If the Pokémon ignores the Pokéblock, throw a Pokéblock with the same color as the one in the feeder (by default green).
*** 2a) If the Pokémon is enthralled (escape factor = 0), '''throw Safari Balls'''.
*** 2b) If the Pokémon is curious (escape factor = 1), '''throw Safari Balls'''.
** 3) If the Pokémon is enthralled (escape factor = 1), '''throw Safari Balls'''.
This strategy results in, at minimum, a 75.88% chance to catch any Pokémon that appears.

==Trivia==
* No {{cat|Generation III Pokémon|Pokémon introduced in Generation III}} appear in this Safari Zone.
* In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the entrance to the Safari Zone has a book titled "The Path of the Safari Zone" written by the founder of the Safari Zone.
::'''Chapter One: Foundation.'''
::''"A desire to provide the children of the Hoenn region with a chance to encounter many Pokémon welled up inside of me and led to my decision to open here."''
::'''Chapter Two: Opening.'''
::''"From the very day we opened, a long line wound its way from the Safari Zone. It was a huge success. A desire to make more money off of it welled up inside of me and led to my decision to raise the price of admission."''
::'''Chapter Three: Bankruptcy.'''
::''"As a result of the higher admission prices, customers stopped coming to the Safari Zone. A desire to save my own hide welled up inside of me and led to my decision to flee under cover of night."''
::'''Chapter Four: Rebirth.'''
::''"After I had made my escape, the Safari Zone was reborn thanks to the support of some thoughtful people. A desire to pretend that I had never run away welled up inside of me and led to my decision to return to Hoenn."''
::'''Final Chapter: The Future.'''
::''"Having made my return, I began working as a volunteer at the Safari Zone. A desire to express my happiness at having returned welled up inside of me and led to my decision to continue to take good care of Pokémon every day."''
* In {{game|Emerald}}, the [[Rare Candy]] in Area 6 cannot be picked up if the player tries to pick it up while facing it from the north or the west.
* In the Japanese version of Pokémon Emerald, Area 5 has two slight differences compared to the Western version:
** In the Western version of the game, the second northernmost square of tall grass in the southeasternmost patch of grass has been moved one tile to the left.
** In the Japanese version of the game, the hidden [[Full Restore]] was mistakenly placed on a tile inside the trees to the east of the patch of grass, making the item impossible to reach. This was fixed in the Western version of the game by placing the Full Restore inside the now bare patch of grass.
* Hoenn Safari Zone Areas 1, 2, and 4 from {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} can be found in the internal data of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. However, the tileset data is missing, so the maps are glitched.

Big Pecks (Ability)

{{AbilityInfobox/desc|V|Protects the Pokémon from Defense-lowering attacks.}}

{{AbilityInfobox/desc|IX|Prevents the Pokémon from having its Defense stat lowered.}}
|}
'''Big Pecks''' (Japanese: '''はとむね''' ''Pigeon Breast'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation V]].

==Effect==
===In battle===
Big Pecks prevents other Pokémon from lowering the {{stat|Defense}} stat stage of the Pokémon with this Ability. It does not prevent the Pokémon with this Ability from lowering its own Defense, such as by using {{m|Shell Smash}}. It does not prevent {{m|Spectral Thief}} from stealing (i.e., resetting) positive stat changes.

Effects that decrease Defense without using stat stages, such as {{m|Guard Swap}}, {{m|Heart Swap}}, or {{m|Guard Split}}, are unaffected by Big Pecks.

This Ability can be ignored by Pokémon with {{a|Mold Breaker}}, {{a|Teravolt}}, and {{a|Turboblaze}}.

===Outside of battle===
Big Pecks has no effect outside of battle.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
* {{adv|White}}'s {{p|Vullaby}}, Barbara, and {{adv|Y}}'s {{p|Fletchling}}, [[Fletchy]], were revealed to have Big Pecks as their Ability in the [[PokéSPedia]] data-book.
* [[Skyla]]'s {{p|Unfezant}} and {{adv|Cheren}}'s Unfezant were revealed to have Big Pecks as their Ability.

==Trivia==
* The name "Big Pecks" is a pun, referring to both pecking with a beak and the {{wp|pectoralis major}}, a.k.a. "pecs", the primary muscles in the chest.
** Similarly, Big Pecks's Japanese name, ''Hatomune'', can also be taken to mean "a proud heart".

'''Lokix''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エクスレッグ''' ''Exleg'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Nymble}} starting at [[level]] 24.

==Biology==
[[File:4KomaPlaza451.png|thumb|left|250px|Lokix in its Showdown Mode]]
Lokix is a bipedal, insectoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} which resembles a locust. It is primarily dark gray, with glossy black colorations on the head, thorax, lower abdomen, forearms, lower legs, and third set of legs. Its face is covered in a mask-like plate, and contains a pair of black triangular antennae with two white stripes on top, along with orange triangular eyes and a triangular notch on its chin. Its thorax and abdomen are separated by a white belt, with an X-shaped pattern at the front. It has a pair of white claws on each of its hands, and a single claw on each foot. Its forearms have an orange spike each, while its calves have two orange spikes protruding towards the back.

Behind Lokix's body is its third set of legs, attached to its abdomen. These legs are oblong with a symbol resembling the {{wp|No symbol|general prohibition sign}} on the outside of the joints, and connect to thin, rectangular forelimbs. Each of the forelimbs have five orange spikes and a single white claw at the bottom. Lokix usually keeps its third set of legs folded on its back; however, it can unfold these legs to enter what is known as its Showdown Mode.

In Showdown Mode, Lokix stands and jumps on its now-unfolded third set of legs, and swings them to attack. Lokix utilizes its Showdown Mode to fight all-out, being capable of quickly subduing its foes in this mode. However, it cannot be in Showdown Mode for too long, as it places a huge strain on its body. Lokix can live in a variety of different areas in Paldea, such as grasslands, snowy mountains, deserts, and lakes.

===Evolution===
Lokix evolves from {{p|Nymble}}.

* No other Pokémon has the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] as Lokix.
* Riding helmets resembling Lokix's head can be purchased with varying colors as part of Trainer customization in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.
* Lokix, along with {{p|Buneary}}, is the only Pokémon with 0 [[List of Pokémon by base friendship|base friendship]] that is not {{pkmn2|Legendary}}, a [[Mythical Pokémon]], an [[Ultra Beast]], or a [[Paradox Pokémon]].

===Origin===
Lokix appears to be based on a {{wp|grasshopper}}, particularly those of the {{wp|locust}} variety, which are notably larger than other grasshopper varieties and have a swarming phase. Its inability to fly in favour of kicking is also similar to various {{wp|wētā}} species, flightless crickets with large legs known to give strong kicks to would-be predators. Its Dark typing could be derived from the fact that grasshoppers and locusts are generally considered to be pests, and its debut in [[Paldea]] may refer to the fact that southern Iberia is the only region in Europe to be affected by locust plagues. It may also be based on {{wp|Tridactylidae|pygmy mole crickets}} due to its coloration and rounded features. The way its third set of legs fold up resembles the Spanish {{wp|navaja}}s; and its kick-based fighting style may be inspired by {{wp|tae kwon do}}.


Lokix also appears to be based on the superheroes of the ''{{wp|Kamen Rider}}'' franchise. The titular Riders typically have an insect motif (most often being the grasshopper), a belt used to transform into their masked alter-egos, a limitation on how long they can hold the transformation, and a signature finishing move known as the ''Rider Kick''. All of these elements are present in the design of Lokix. Its Dark type thus may reference the themes of morality in the ''Kamen Rider'' series, as many of the Riders are considered {{wp|antihero}}es, and their powers typically derive from the same sources and technology as the forces of evil they fight against. Additionally, the Riders are known for riding motorcycles, and while Lokix itself does not have any strong allusion to motorcycles or motocycling, motorbike helmets based on its design are sold in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

====Name origin====
Lokix may be a combination of ''locust'' and ''kicks'' or ''crickets'', or a pun on ''low kicks''.

Exleg may be a combination of ''extreme'', ''expert'', or ''exoskeleton'', and ''leg''.

'''Spinda''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パッチール''' ''Patcheel'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

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

Spinda is known for its variations, with each individual almost always having its own [[Variant Pokémon#Spinda|unique spot pattern]].

==Biology==
Spinda is a bipedal, red panda {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with rabbit-like features. Its eyes are made of two black spirals, which point in the opposite direction to each other. There is a similar swirling pattern on its ears. It has a small body with short stumpy arms and legs, and its coat is primarily cream-colored. Its arms are red and it has a red stripe bordering along the bottom of its belly, as well as two small spots on the soles of its feet. It has four spots, which can appear anywhere on its face and ears, with a fifth on the back of its head. These spot patterns are different for each and every Spinda.

It has dizzying, confusing, and scattering dance-like movements, though it thinks it is walking in a straight line. These movements confuse their opponents and make it difficult for them to aim at it. It lives in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountains}}.

Prior to [[Generation V]], {{m|Teeter Dance}} was its [[signature move]], but other Pokémon could still inherit it via {{pkmn|breeding}}.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]]: One day, a Spinda appears in [[Pokémon Square]] and collapses. When it regains consciousness, Spinda explains that it is giving up a long journey to find the {{p|Ho-Oh|Mirage Pokémon}} and hands its one clue, the Clear Wing, to the player. The player must then solve [[the Mystery of the Mirage Pokémon]], which will reward them with the Rainbow Wing. Upon showing the Rainbow Wing to Spinda, or talking to Spinda as Ho-Oh, it becomes happy and leaves Pokémon Square.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]]: A Spinda runs [[Spinda's Café]] and takes over the juice bar. A {{p|Wynaut}} and a {{p|Wobbuffet}} also work at the café running the recycle shop. Later in the game, Project P is introduced. After it is introduced, occasionally when speaking to Wynaut the player may gain access to a dungeon normally accessed by selecting a job with ??? as the location or get a choice of more items in the recycle shop.

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

==In the TFG==
One Spinda figure has been released.
* {{TFG|Groundbreakers}}: {{TFG ID|Groundbreakers|Spinda|32}}

==Trivia==
* In [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], {{m|Toxic}} is depicted as two purple orbs spinning around each other towards the target. However, when Spinda uses Toxic, the orbs travel erratically. The same animation is used for {{p|Carnivine}}.
* Like {{p|Whirlipede}}, its base stat total might be based on the fact that it usually spins in circles, which are 360 degrees.
* Spinda's {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun}} [[Pokédex entry]] states that Spinda believe they walk in straight lines, oblivious to their teetering gait. However, in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], an NPC Spinda tells the player; ''"When I walk, I always totter."'', clearly being aware of this trait.
* Spinda and {{p|Deoxys}} are the only Pokémon to lack a second frame of animation for their front sprite in {{pkmn|Emerald|Pokémon Emerald}}.

===Spot patterns===
* Some of Spinda's [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] mention the odds of two Spinda having the same spot pattern as less than one in four billion. Since Spinda's spots are based on its [[personality value]] (or encryption constant in later games), which is a 32-bit number, a simplistic model would put the odds at 1 in 4,294,967,296, which is indeed smaller than one in four billion; however, it is actually possible for two personality values to produce spot patterns that are visually identical, so the real odds are somewhat higher.
** Using [https://wokann.github.io/Tool/Spinda_Painter/Spinda%20Painter%201.3.2.htm this app], it can be found that two dots have 256 distinct locations, one dot has 254, and one dot has 237, counting all locations where the dot is entirely off-sprite as the same. This results in a total of 3,945,136,128 patterns. However, even this total is slightly too high, because if the upper left dot is far enough down and to the right, it can entirely eclipse the lower-left dot, resulting in a few more patterns being indistinguishable. Compare, for example, 0x0E07F5FB and 0x0EF0F5FB.
** The fewest spots a Spinda can visibly have is 1 - the sprite's leftmost spots can land entirely off the sprite, while the rightmost spots cannot, but instead can entirely overlap.
** In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, due to a [[List of glitches in Generation VIII#Spinda spot pattern glitches|glitch]] this value is interpreted as big-endian, causing the spot pattern to be rendered incorrectly. As an example, a value of <code>12345678</code> (hexadecimal) would be interpreted as <code>78563412</code> instead.<ref>https://twitter.com/Atrius97/status/1500557458623778819</ref>
** In [[Pokémon HOME]] v2.1.1 and prior versions, when opening the [[summary]] of a Spinda in the mobile app, Spinda would display the correct spot pattern, identical to its appearance in [[Generation VI]] and below. In HOME v3.0.0 all Spinda were displayed as having the same pattern as the static rendered image used in all HOME menus.<ref>https://twitter.com/Atrius97/status/1665787431009001472</ref> The encryption constant of Spinda in HOME remained unchanged (which meant that if transferred out of HOME into a compatible game, they would have likely retained their original spot pattern), however HOME's mobile app no longer displayed the spot pattern associated with the encryption constant of a given individual Spinda, all appearing identical to the "stock" rendered image of Spinda. This was resolved in v3.0.1.<ref name="Spinda HOME">https://twitter.com/Atrius97/status/1676088622943207424</ref>
*** The value internally used in Pokémon HOME as the "default" pattern for Spinda is <code>7A397866</code>,<ref name="Spinda HOME"/> which is a close match to the pattern shown in nearly all official artwork, sprites, and 3D renders of Spinda.
** In Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl's [[Super Contest]]s, the encryption constant is generated randomly instead of using the value from Pokémon the player selects, which for Spinda results in completely random spot patterns appearing for the duration of the contest, regardless of their true spot pattern.<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1828258413442142257</ref>
** In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, the temporary Pokédex entry created before catching a Spinda uses value of <code>00000000</code> before being overwritten by the obtained one; however, if the player's first Spinda is obtained via a trade, this value becomes permanent instead of being properly overwritten. This oversight is fixed in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and {{game|Emerald}}.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1g58JP0BfE The Spinda Rabbit Hole Goes Deeper than You Think]</ref>
* Unlike other Pokémon with no [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]], the [[Rotom Pokédex]] does not display a single model for both male and female Spinda, but rather a separate one for each. The models used are whatever the first spot patterns caught of each gender were.
** The Pokédex preview models for each gender, however, will always be a set model that will likely differ from the model the player will see.
* {{g|HOME}} cannot transfer Spinda into or out of {{g|GO}} or {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} due to inconsistencies in how its spot patterns works.
** In Pokémon GO, Spinda has nine predetermined forms rather than random patterns.
*** As a result, Spinda is one of only three Pokémon obtainable in GO that cannot have the {{DL|Origin mark|GO icon}} as its [[origin mark]], the others being {{p|Zygarde}} and {{p|Eternatus}}.
** In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, this is due to a [[List of glitches in Generation VIII#Spinda spot pattern glitch|bug]] in the game, which causes the encryption constant to be read as a {{wp|Endianness|big-endian}} value (i.e. bytes are read in reverse order), and would allow the possibility to indirectly change Spinda's spot pattern. Spinda is the only Pokémon that cannot be transferred out of these games.

===Origin===
Spinda appears to be based on a {{wp|Qinling panda}} with traits of {{wp|rabbit}}s. It also resembles a {{wp|teddy bear}} or other {{wp|stuffed toy}}. The swirls in its eyes are based on a cartoonish representation of someone being dazed or dizzy, and its staggering steps resemble the {{wp|drunken boxing}} style of martial arts, which attempt to imitate the movements of a drunk person to become unpredictable and elusive. The connection between Qinling pandas and dizziness may stem from the {{wp|Qinling|Qinling mountains}} upon which these pandas live – the mountains suffer metal pollution in its soil and plant life, which can lead to {{wp|metal toxicity|metal poisoning}}, including dizziness and confusion, for its inhabitants over time.<ref>''[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0048969719310484?via%3Dihub "Establish an environmentally sustainable Giant Panda National Park in the Qinling Mountains"]'', ''Science of the Total Environment'', 10th June 2019</ref> Spinda's habitat of [[Hoenn Route 113|Route 113]] is used as farmland, possibly in reference to agricultural run-offs being a source of pollution in Qinling. Additionally, Qinling pandas can live as high as {{tt|3'000 metres|approx 9843 feet}} up the Qinling mountains, which is enough to cause dizziness in humans through {{wp|altitude sickness}}.

The use of "patch" in Spinda's Japanese name could refer to patches of fabric used to cover tears in a material. Spinda's random spots would then be the various bandages attached to a toy that has been damaged due to rough play, or even a toddler that has fallen over many times due to their inability to walk stably.

====Name origin====
Spinda may be a combination of ''spin'' and ''panda''.

Patcheel may be a combination of ''patch'' and ''reel'' (to lose one's balance).

'''Donphan''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ドンファン''' ''Donfan'') is a {{type|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Phanpy}} starting at [[level]] 25.

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

The [[Paradox Pokémon]] {{p|Great Tusk}} and {{p|Iron Treads}} are said to be ancient and future relatives of Donphan, respectively, or counterparts of it from parallel timelines.

==Biology==
Donphan is a gray, {{wp|Proboscidea|proboscid}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a thick, black band of hide running down the length of its back and extending to the tip of its long trunk. When this Pokémon curls up, the band resembles a car tire. This tough hide prevents regular attacks from inflicting even a scratch. A pair of white tusks, which are smaller on the female, extend from the corners of its mouth. It has thin, elongated ears held out almost perpendicular to its body. Its four short legs are each encircled with a broken, black band and have three toes.

Donphan has the ability to curl up into a ball and violently roll around like a wheel. These rolling tackles are strong enough to knock down a house. While normally calm, Donphan can become enraged and start a rampage. Once it starts its rampage, it will be almost unstoppable. Donphan will chase after anyone who angers it. The {{aniseries|AG}} episode ''[[AG114|Date Expectations]]'' showed that this ability is further used as a form of courtship. The male Donphan have rolling competitions to demonstrate their toughness to the females. A Donphan's {{a|Sturdy|tough hide}} is so strong, not even a car can scratch it. Despite this, the armor is extremely vulnerable to rain.

In the {{aniseries|PTS}} episode ''[[EP120|Roll On, Pokémon!]]'', it is shown that Donphan has a keen sense of smell, capable of sniffing out a gem known as amberite (Agate in the Japanese version). Donphan travels in herds with a ranking system. The larger its tusks, the higher its rank in the herd. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|rough}}, mountainous terrain.

Both {{p|Great Tusk}} and {{p|Iron Treads}} share a resemblance to Donphan. Great Tusk is theorized to be Donphan's ancestor from the dinosaur era, while Iron Treads is believed to be a descendant of Donphan or a scientific weapon sent to the [[Pokémon world]] by aliens, but according to a version of [[Professor Sada]]{{Sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo|Turo]]{{Sup/9|V}} that appeared at the [[Crystal Pool]], both Pokémon are counterparts of Donphan from parallel timelines.

===Evolution===
Donphan evolves from {{p|Phanpy}}.

==Trivia==
* Donphan shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Tyranitar}}. They are both known as the Armor Pokémon.
* Donphan and {{p|Ursaring}}, along with their pre-evolved forms, are the only Pokémon to swap version-exclusive status between localizations. While Phanpy and Donphan are found only in the Japanese and Korean Gold, they are not found in Gold in other languages, being found in the Silver Version of those languages instead, with Teddiursa and Ursaring getting the opposite treatment. This is changed in the remakes {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, where they follow the Japanese and Korean Gold and Silver.
* Donphan, {{p|Volcarona}}, and {{p|Cyclizar}} are the only Pokémon to have both a past and future [[Paradox Pokémon|Paradox]] counterpart.

===Origin===
Donphan seems to be based on an adult {{wp|elephant}}, possibly the {{wp|pygmy elephant}} or the extinct {{wp|dwarf elephant}} due to its small size. Donphan's hardened hide and Pokémon Category may also hint at it being an armored {{wp|war elephant}}.

The ridges on Donphan's dark gray backside are similar to {{wp|tire tread}}s found on {{wp|heavy equipment}} and {{wp|off-road vehicle}}s, notably the treads of {{wp|paddle tire}}s. This similarity with tires can also be observed when Donphan performs its {{m|Rollout|rolling attacks}}, making it resemble a spinning wheel.

Donphan's {{t|Ground}} type likely comes from the fact that elephants {{wp|wallow in mud}} and take {{wp|Dust bathing|sand baths}} to protect their skin and thermoregulate. It may also come from the fact heavy equipment and off-road vehicles' tires are adapted to muddy and sandy terrains.

====Name origin====
Donphan and Donfan may be a combination of ''don'' (Spanish honorific, similar to ''sir'') or ''-don'' (common suffix in names of prehistoric animals, e.g. {{wp|mastodon}}, from the Ancient Greek word for tooth) and ''elephant''.

'''Scrafty''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ズルズキン''' ''Zuruzukin'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Scraggy}} starting at [[level]] 39.

==Biology==
[[File:Scrafty hood.png|thumb|250px|left|Scrafty wearing its skin as a hood]]
Scrafty is a bipedal, lizard-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has oval, wide-set eyes with small pupils and gray eyelids, as well as small nostrils and a wide mouth with bared teeth, giving it the appearance of a permanent sneer. It sports a red crest on its head, similar in appearance to a mohawk. Baggy yellow skin hangs off its shoulders, falling halfway down its back. As shown in the {{pkmn|animated series}}, it can wear this skin like a hood. Scrafty's body is orange, with thin arms and a gray, scaled belly. Its lower body and tail are covered by loose yellow skin resembling baggy trousers. On its tail is a single red scale.

Scrafty is powerful enough to kick through concrete blocks used by {{p|Conkeldurr}}, and can also spit acidic liquid from its mouth, which it does to taunt opponents. It can protect itself while attacking by pulling up or folding the loose skin around its waist. Scrafty lives in groups with other members of its species. Groups determine hierarchy by crest size, with the Scrafty having the largest crest becoming the leader. A group will attack anything that comes within its territory. Scrafty never leaves its territory for a long time. Though often coming off as rude, it takes good care of its loved ones and its turf. Scrafty never leaves the territory it watches over its whole life long.

===Evolution===
Scrafty evolves from {{p|Scraggy}}.

==Trivia==
===Origin===
Scrafty appears to be based on a lizard {{wp|Moulting#In reptiles|molting its skin}}. Its crest shares some similarities with the elongated scales of {{wp|iguana}}s.

Scrafty seems to also be based on stereotypes of urban {{wp|youth subculture}}s, sometimes seen as delinquent or confrontational. Its {{wp|sagging (fashion)|sagging "pants"}} and "{{wp|hoodie}}" seems to reference the {{wp|hip-hop fashion|hip hop}} subculture, while its bright red crest resembles a {{wp|mohawk hairstyle}} from the {{wp|punk fashion|punk}} subculture. The hood also doubles as a {{wp|balaclava (clothing)|balaclava}}, a face covering commonly used as a disguise during crimes.

====Name origin====
Scrafty may be a combination of ''scrappy'' (feisty), ''scruffy'', or ''scraggy'' (scrawny), and ''crafty'' (being skilled at deceit to achieve one's goals).

Zuruzukin may be a combination of 狡 ''zuru'' (sly fellow), 狡い ''zurui'' (crafty), or ずるずる ''zuruzuru'' (onomatopoeia for dragging slowly) and 頭巾 ''zukin'' (hood) or possibly ''skin''.

'''Gimmighoul''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''コレクレー''' ''Collecurei'') is a {{type|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Gholdengo}} when [[level]]ed up while the player has 999 [[Gimmighoul Coin]]s. After the Evolution, the Gimmighoul Coins disappear. Gimmighoul's Evolution cannot be canceled with the B button.

Gimmighoul has two separate [[#Form data|forms]]: '''Chest Form''' and '''Roaming Form'''. Chest Form Gimmighoul only appears in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, in which it is the only form that can be natively {{pkmn|battle}}d and {{pkmn2|caught}}, while Roaming Form Gimmighoul will flee when interacted with, leaving behind Gimmighoul Coins. Roaming Form appears in {{g|GO}}, where it can be caught; it can then be [[transfer]]red to the core series games via the [[GO Transporter]].

==Biology==
Gimmighoul is a small, blue-gray, metallic, bipedal Pokémon, with bands of two thin black stripes present around its torso and between its gold, circular eyes. It has a pair of thin black antennae and a tail, which are bent near the base and tipped with small gold circles.

Its antennae vibrate when detecting something it deems notable, and will point at objects of interest. When Gimmighoul gathers 999 [[Gimmighoul Coin]]s, it evolves into {{p|Gholdengo}}.

===Forms===
Gimmighoul has two separate forms: Chest Form and Roaming Form. The two Forms are virtually identical to each other, with the main differences being their habits and personalities.

;Chest Form
[[File:Gimmighoul closed chest anime.png|200px|thumb|left|Chest Form Gimmighoul's closed chest]]

Chest Form Gimmighoul hides inside a red chest, decorated with black and golden accents and a silver buckle with an ornate oval pattern, resembling the number 1,000 when viewed from the side. The chest it resides in is full of the [[Gimmighoul Coin|coins]] that it collects.

Chest Form Gimmighoul was born inside a chest 1,500 years ago. [[Jacq]] is the one who discovered the Chest Form and coined its name. Its treasure chest provides defense but makes it hard for it to move due to the weight. Chest Form Gimmighoul are typically encountered in ancient [[Paldea]]n buildings, such as watchtowers and fort ruins, and even secluded islands. Its disguise and low movement speed cause it to be commonly mistaken for an antique and get left behind or taken away. As depicted in [[HZ103]], Chest Form Gimmighoul can move by hopping. When Chest Form Gimmighoul senses an approaching person or Pokémon, it uses ghost energy to control its target and force them to collect coins for its chest. It tends to hide in less frequented places such as warehouses and shop corners to ambush people and Pokémon while pretending to be an old treasure chest. Its control has notable persistence<ref name="SVsite">[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/gimmighoul/ Gimmighoul — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref>; one old tale tells of a Gimmighoul who manipulated a young girl to gather 999 coins to fill its chest<ref name="GimmighoulYT" />. It is also known to drain the life out of anyone who attempts to steal its coins.
;Roaming Form
Roaming Form Gimmighoul, unlike its counterpart, doesn't hide in a chest and instead carries an [[Gimmighoul Coin|ancient coin]] on its back, being held by its tail. Without its chest, it is among the [[List of Pokémon by height|smallest]] and [[List of Pokémon by weight|lightest]] of all Pokémon.

Roaming Form Gimmighoul was born from passion that seeped into a coin. [[Professor Willow]] is the one who discovered the Roaming Form and coined its name. Roaming Form Gimmighoul can be spotted in hiding places across Paldea, such as by signs, rocks, and bridges, as well as ancient ruins. It is extremely timid, running away and dropping its coin as soon as anyone approaches.<ref name="SVsite" /> It does not manipulate people and Pokémon to give it coins like its Chest Form counterpart; instead, it is able to gather coins by itself.<ref name="GimmighoulYT" /> Despite being found in [[Paldea]], no one has ever been able to capture this form of Gimmighoul. It constantly wanders, believed to be searching for the chest it used to live in. For sustenance, it drains the life force of humans who try to steal its coin. This form of Gimmighoul has also been seen appearing where Professor Willow lives in, where it tags along near Trainers who pick up Gimmighoul Coins.<ref name="SVsite" /> Gimmighoul has also been observed being lured over through the [[Coin Bag]] and [[Golden Lure Module]]s.<ref>https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/pokemon_go_gimmighoul/</ref>

===Form data===
Gimmighoul has two non-interchangeable forms: Chest Form and Roaming Form. Both can be found in [[Paldea]]'s overworld, but only Chest Form can be {{pkmn|battle}}d and [[catching|caught]], while Roaming Form will flee upon being interacted with, leaving behind Gimmighoul Coins, which are necessary for Gimmighoul to evolve. Roaming Form can only be obtained by [[transfer]]ring it from {{g|GO}} via the [[GO Transporter]].

The forms differ in their {{Abilities}}, with Chest Form having {{a|Rattled}} and Roaming Form having {{a|Run Away}}, as well as their [[base stats]], with Chest Form having higher {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} but lower {{stat|Speed}} compared to Roaming Form.

==Trivia ==
* Gimmighoul's Chest Form was named by [[Jacq]], while its Roaming Form was named by [[Professor Willow]].<ref name="GimmighoulYT">"[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nzi0S3NGzg Where are these mysterious coins coming from? 🤔 | Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet]." [https://www.youtube.com/c/pokemon The Official Pokémon YouTube Channel]. ''YouTube''.</ref>
* Gimmighoul is the only Pokémon with multiple [[form]]s that have no bearing on the Pokémon/form of the Pokémon they evolve into.
* Gimmighoul is the only Pokémon whose [[Evolution]] requires [[TM Material]]s.
* Both forms of Gimmighoul are tied with Unovan {{p|Yamask}} and {{p|Litwick}} for having the lowest base {{stat|Attack}} stat of all {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon.
* Chest Form Gimmighoul has the lowest base {{stat|Speed}} stat of all Ghost-type Pokémon.
* Roaming Form Gimmighoul has the lowest base {{stat|Defense}} stat of all Ghost-type Pokémon.
* Roaming Form Gimmighoul is tied with {{p|Sinistea}} and {{p|Poltchageist}} as the [[List of Pokémon by height|shortest]] Ghost-type Pokémon, and tied with {{p|Gastly}} and {{p|Haunter}} as the [[List of Pokémon by weight|lightest]] Ghost-type Pokémon.
** Roaming Form Gimmighoul is tied with Flabébé for being the smallest Pokémon overall: both have a height of 0.1m and a weight of 0.1kg.
* Gimmighoul is the only Pokémon in {{g|GO}} that evolves without {{OBP|Candy|GO}}, even if it is not {{OBP|trade|GO}}d.
* Gimmighoul is heavily associated with the number 999:
** Its [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex number]] is #0999.
** It evolves when leveled up while the player has 999 [[Gimmighoul Coin]]s.
** It was first teased through a website with a counter that periodically counted to 999.
** A promotional video about Gimmighoul tells the tale of a Gimmighoul who manipulated a young girl to fill its chest with 999 coins.<ref name="GimmighoulYT" />
* Due to its Ghost type, Roaming Form Gimmighoul's {{a|Run Away}} [[Ability]] is redundant unless its [[type change]]s, such as via {{Tera}}stallization or {{m|Soak}}.
* Gimmighoul only learns 2 moves by level-up, the fewest of all Ghost-type Pokémon.
* It is not possible to [[Escape|flee]] from a Chest Form Gimmighoul; even if the player's Pokémon is a {{t|Ghost}} type or is faster. Attempting to flee via pressing the "Run" option or use a Pokémon with the {{a|Run Away}} Ability will give the "''You can't escape!''" message. Using the [[Poké Doll]] will give the same dialogue that a player would receive if they try to use certain [[Key Item]]s such as the [[Shiny Charm]]. Using the moves {{m|Whirlwind}} or {{m|Roar}} will fail.

===Pre-release teasers===
Chest Form Gimmighoul was teased through a special website<ref name="Chest">[http://web.archive.org/web/0/https://chest.pokemon.com/ Earliest archive of https://chest.pokemon.com/]</ref> that went live on November 5, 2022 at 13:00 UTC. It showcased Gimmighoul's chest and a counter, which periodically ticked upwards every few hours as it was slowly filled with coins. The counter eventually capped out at 999 on November 6, 2022 at 14:00 UTC, and the site became a redirect to a new page on the {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} website.<ref>"[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/chest-research/ Investigations into a Newly Discovered Pokémon Are Under Way!]" — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website</ref>

Roaming Form Gimmighoul was also teased on November 5, 2022, appearing in Pokémon GO after the {{p|Dratini}} [[Community Day|Community Day Classic]] event ended. Golden [[PokéStop]]s were added to the game, and spinning one would cause a Roaming Form Gimmighoul to show up and follow the player for a short time, although it could not be properly encountered or caught.

Prior to the release of its teasers, an obscured Roaming Form Gimmighoul could be seen very briefly in the English version of the "Jump into a Paldean Journey" trailer for {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, posted on October 6, 2022.<ref>"[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YEEDqke-D0&t=573s Jump into a Paldean Journey | Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet]." [https://www.youtube.com/c/pokemon The Official Pokémon YouTube Channel]. ''YouTube''.</ref> It does not appear in the Japanese version of this trailer.

===Origin===
As indicated by its English name, Gimmighoul may be based on the {{wp|ghoul}}, a mythical creature from Arabic folklore known for luring people into deserted places before preying on them, and stealing coins. The word ''ghoul'' (Arabic: غُول ''ghūl'') stems from the Arabic word غَالَ ''ghāla'', meaning "to seize". Gimmighoul's antennae and tail resemble {{wp|dowsing|dowsing rods}}, which are believed to be able to help people locate buried treasures. The association of a ghost with coins, as well as its eyes resembling coins, may also draw inspiration from {{wp|Charon's obol}}, where the deceased are buried with coins as a preparation for the afterlife. The coins were frequently placed in the mouth or on the eyes.

Gimmighoul's Chest Form may be based on the {{wp|Mimic (Dungeons & Dragons)|mimic}}, a monster archetype commonly found in RPGs, known for disguising itself as treasure chests. Its Roaming Form may be based on the Catalan folktale of {{wp|Patufet}}, a tiny child who carries a coin. It may also be based on the {{wp|toyol}} (also known as ''tuyul''), an infant-like spirit from Indonesian and Malay folklore invoked to steal riches from people. Gimmighoul's association with the number 999 may be a reference to {{wp|Fineness#Gold|999 fine gold}}, equivalent to 24 karat gold.

Considering its Evolution, Gimmighoul's design may also draw inspiration from {{wp|El Dorado}}, a legend now believed to originate in Spanish conception of {{wp|Muisca}} rituals performed in pre-colonial {{wp|Colombia}}. Its laminated body shape resembles {{wp|tunjo}}s, Muisca figurines made of molded gold in the shape of divine humans or animals. Its Ghost type could be based on the fact that tunjos are commonly found in burial places and places of worship.

====Name origin====
Gimmighoul may be a combination of ''gimme'' (informal pronunciation of "give me"), ''gimmick'', ''mimic'', and ''ghoul''. Altogether, it sounds like the phrase "Give me gold."

Collecurei may be a combination of ''collect'', 霊 ''rei'' (spirit), and a pun on the phrase これくれ ''kore kure'' ("Give me this").

'''Spinda''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パッチール''' ''Patcheel'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

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

Spinda is known for its variations, with each individual almost always having its own [[Variant Pokémon#Spinda|unique spot pattern]].

==Biology==
Spinda is a bipedal, red panda {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with rabbit-like features. Its eyes are made of two black spirals, which point in the opposite direction to each other. There is a similar swirling pattern on its ears. It has a small body with short stumpy arms and legs, and its coat is primarily cream-colored. Its arms are red and it has a red stripe bordering along the bottom of its belly, as well as two small spots on the soles of its feet. It has four spots, which can appear anywhere on its face and ears, with a fifth on the back of its head. These spot patterns are different for each and every Spinda.

It has dizzying, confusing, and scattering dance-like movements, though it thinks it is walking in a straight line. These movements confuse their opponents and make it difficult for them to aim at it. It lives in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountains}}.

Prior to [[Generation V]], {{m|Teeter Dance}} was its [[signature move]], but other Pokémon could still inherit it via {{pkmn|breeding}}.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]]: One day, a Spinda appears in [[Pokémon Square]] and collapses. When it regains consciousness, Spinda explains that it is giving up a long journey to find the {{p|Ho-Oh|Mirage Pokémon}} and hands its one clue, the Clear Wing, to the player. The player must then solve [[the Mystery of the Mirage Pokémon]], which will reward them with the Rainbow Wing. Upon showing the Rainbow Wing to Spinda, or talking to Spinda as Ho-Oh, it becomes happy and leaves Pokémon Square.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]]: Spinda runs Spinda's café and takes over the juice bar. A {{p|Wynaut}} and a {{p|Wobbuffet}} also work at the café running the recycle shop. Later in the game, Project P is introduced. After it is introduced, occasionally when speaking to Wynaut the player may gain access to a dungeon normally accessed by selecting a job with ??? as the location or get a choice of more items in the recycle shop.

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

==In the TFG==
One Spinda figure has been released.
* {{TFG|Groundbreakers}}: {{TFG ID|Groundbreakers|Spinda|32}}

==Trivia==
* In [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], {{m|Toxic}} is depicted as two purple orbs spinning around each other towards the target. However, when Spinda uses Toxic, the orbs travel erratically. The same animation is used for {{p|Carnivine}}.
* Like {{p|Whirlipede}}, its base stat total might be based on the fact that it usually spins in circles, which are 360 degrees.
* Spinda's {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun}} [[Pokédex entry]] states that Spinda believe they walk in straight lines, oblivious to their teetering gait. However, in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], an NPC Spinda tells the player; ''"When I walk, I always totter."'', clearly being aware of this trait.
* Spinda and {{p|Deoxys}} are the only Pokémon to lack a second frame of animation for their front sprite in {{pkmn|Emerald|Pokémon Emerald}}.

===Spot patterns===
* Some of Spinda's [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] mention the odds of two Spinda having the same spot pattern as less than one in four billion. Since Spinda's spots are based on its [[personality value]] (or encryption constant in later games), which is a 32-bit number, a simplistic model would put the odds at 1 in 4,294,967,296, which is indeed smaller than one in four billion; however, it is actually possible for two personality values to produce spot patterns that are visually identical, so the real odds are somewhat higher.
** Using [https://web.archive.org/web/20230828010339/https://gatorshark.webs.com/Spinda%20Painter.htm this app], it can be found that two dots have 256 distinct locations, one dot has 254, and one dot has 237, counting all locations where the dot is entirely off-sprite as the same. This results in a total of 3,945,136,128 patterns. However, even this total is slightly too high, because if the upper left dot is far enough down and to the right, it can entirely eclipse the lower-left dot, resulting in a few more patterns being indistinguishable. Compare, for example, 0x0E07F5FB and 0x0EF0F5FB.
** The fewest spots a Spinda can visibly have is 1 - the sprite's leftmost spots can land entirely off the sprite, while the rightmost spots cannot, but instead can entirely overlap.
** In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, due to a [[List of glitches in Generation VIII#Spinda spot pattern glitches|glitch]] this value is interpreted as big-endian, causing the spot pattern to be rendered incorrectly. As an example, a value of <code>12345678</code> (hexadecimal) would be interpreted as <code>78563412</code> instead.<ref>https://twitter.com/Atrius97/status/1500557458623778819</ref>
** In [[Pokémon HOME]] v2.1.1 and prior versions, when opening the [[summary]] of a Spinda in the mobile app, Spinda would display the correct spot pattern, identical to its appearance in [[Generation VI]] and below. In HOME v3.0.0 all Spinda were displayed as having the same pattern as the static rendered image used in all HOME menus.<ref>https://twitter.com/Atrius97/status/1665787431009001472</ref> The encryption constant of Spinda in HOME remained unchanged (which meant that if transferred out of HOME into a compatible game, they would have likely retained their original spot pattern), however HOME's mobile app no longer displayed the spot pattern associated with the encryption constant of a given individual Spinda, all appearing identical to the "stock" rendered image of Spinda. This was resolved in v3.0.1.<ref name="Spinda HOME">https://twitter.com/Atrius97/status/1676088622943207424</ref>
*** The value internally used in Pokémon HOME as the "default" pattern for Spinda is <code>7A397866</code>,<ref name="Spinda HOME"/> which is a close match to the pattern shown in nearly all official artwork, sprites, and 3D renders of Spinda.
** In Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl's [[Super Contest]]s, the encryption constant is generated randomly instead of using the value from Pokémon the player selects, which for Spinda results in completely random spot patterns appearing for the duration of the contest, regardless of their true spot pattern.<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1828258413442142257</ref>
** In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, the temporary Pokédex entry created before catching a Spinda uses value of <code>00000000</code> before being overwritten by the obtained one; however, if the player's first Spinda is obtained via a trade, this value becomes permanent instead of being properly overwritten. This oversight is fixed in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and {{game|Emerald}}.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1g58JP0BfE The Spinda Rabbit Hole Goes Deeper than You Think]</ref>
* Unlike other Pokémon with no [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]], the [[Rotom Pokédex]] does not display a single model for both male and female Spinda, but rather a separate one for each. The models used are whatever the first spot patterns caught of each gender were.
** The Pokédex preview models for each gender, however, will always be a set model that will likely differ from the model the player will see.
* {{g|HOME}} cannot transfer Spinda into or out of {{g|GO}} or {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} due to inconsistencies in how its spot patterns works.
** In Pokémon GO, Spinda has nine predetermined forms rather than random patterns.
*** As a result, Spinda is one of only two Pokémon obtainable in GO that cannot have the {{DL|Origin mark|GO icon}} as its [[origin mark]], the other being {{p|Zygarde}}.
** In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, this is due to a [[List of glitches in Generation VIII#Spinda spot pattern glitch|bug]] in the game, which causes the encryption constant to be read as a {{wp|Endianness|big-endian}} value (i.e. bytes are read in reverse order), and would allow the possibility to indirectly change Spinda's spot pattern. Spinda is the only Pokémon that cannot be transferred out of these games.

===Origin===
Spinda appears to be based on a {{wp|Qinling panda}} with traits of {{wp|rabbit}}s. It also resembles a {{wp|teddy bear}} or other {{wp|stuffed toy}}. The swirls in its eyes are based on a cartoonish representation of someone being dazed or dizzy, and its staggering steps resemble the {{wp|drunken boxing}} style of martial arts, which attempt to imitate the movements of a drunk person to become unpredictable and elusive. The connection between Qinling pandas and dizziness may stem from the {{wp|Qinling|Qinling mountains}} upon which these pandas live – the mountains suffer metal pollution in its soil and plant life, which can lead to {{wp|metal toxicity|metal poisoning}}, including dizziness and confusion, for its inhabitants over time.<ref>''[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0048969719310484?via%3Dihub "Establish an environmentally sustainable Giant Panda National Park in the Qinling Mountains"]'', ''Science of the Total Environment'', 10th June 2019</ref> Spinda's habitat of [[Hoenn Route 113|Route 113]] is used as farmland, possibly in reference to agricultural run-offs being a source of pollution in Qinling. Additionally, Qinling pandas can live as high as {{tt|3'000 metres|approx 9843 feet}} up the Qinling mountains, which is enough to cause dizziness in humans through {{wp|altitude sickness}}.

The use of "patch" in Spinda's Japanese name could refer to patches of fabric used to cover tears in a material. Spinda's random spots would then be the various bandages attached to a toy that has been damaged due to rough play, or even a toddler that has fallen over many times due to their inability to walk stably.

====Name origin====
Spinda may be a combination of ''spin'' and ''panda''.

Patcheel may be a combination of ''patch'' and ''reel'' (to lose one's balance).

Talk:Gimmighoul (Pokémon)

Pallukun: /* Removing the Bush Barrow reference from the origin */ new section

== Roaming Form ==
Since its Roaming Form is said to not be catchable and the official site omits its Pokedex data I think it's type, size or ability shouldn't be displayed. This appears to be another case of Zygarde Core or Rotom Phone where it's a Pokemon form that doesn't battle.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt]]''' 20:59, 6 November 2022 (UTC)
:you can catch Roaming Form Gimmighoul in GO, by linking your GO account to SV, once the appropriate update is live ([https://pokemongolive.com/en/post/coin/ source]). its dex data are all hidden because currently it hasn't actually been catchable in GO yet. [[User:Anzasquiddles|Anzasquiddles]] ([[User talk:Anzasquiddles|talk]]) 00:30, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

== Type Effectiveness ==

On its page, Gimmighoul is listed as being immune to ground-type moves, despite being a pure ghost-type and not having any abilities that affect immunities. Is this an error? I'd rather not edit it myself and be wrong if it's correct somehow. [[User:Beaniebabs|Beaniebabs]] ([[User talk:Beaniebabs|talk]]) 06:06, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

== Potential trivia about forms ==

Should it be noted that Gimmighoul is the only Pokemon with multiple forms that have no bearing on the Pokemon/form of the Pokemon they evolve into? [[User:Pokemega32|Pokemega32]] ([[User talk:Pokemega32|talk]]) 20:34, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
:Sure.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt]]''' 22:00, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

== Finite Chest Form Gimmighoul ==

I found a post on reddit a while back that stated that there is only a finite amount of Chest Form Gimmighoul- once you catch all of them, you must release one for another to spawn. I don't think they checked it evolution, trading or depositing into Home had any effect on this, but it is still a very interesting note that we should consider adding.

Here is the post for those curious. www.reddit.com/r/PokemonScarletViolet/comments/18vi7pc/solved_gimmighoul_chests_not_respawning_it_is_not [[User:ButSmeargleCan'tUseTheMove|ButSmeargleCan'tUseTheMove]] ([[User talk:ButSmeargleCan'tUseTheMove|talk]]) 08:31, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

== Removing the Bush Barrow reference from the origin ==

I added this after watching a documentary on it and thought it could be related but I think I jumped to that conclusion. The patufet and toyol stories are much more likely, so I'm thinking of removing the bush barrow line. Even though I wrote that, removing it now feels more like possible vandalism, so I wanted to check if anyone thinks it should stay? idk how to arrange a poll or whatever

imo gholdengos version can stay though

'''Spinda''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パッチール''' ''Patcheel'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

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

Spinda is known for its variations, with each individual almost always having its own [[Variant Pokémon#Spinda|unique spot pattern]].

==Biology==
Spinda is a bipedal, red panda {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with rabbit-like features. Its eyes are made of two black spirals, which point in the opposite direction to each other. There is a similar swirling pattern on its ears. It has a small body with short stumpy arms and legs, and its coat is primarily cream-colored. Its arms are red and it has a red stripe bordering along the bottom of its belly, as well as two small spots on the soles of its feet. It has four spots, which can appear anywhere on its face and ears, with a fifth on the back of its head. These spot patterns are different for each and every Spinda.

It has dizzying, confusing, and scattering dance-like movements, though it thinks it is walking in a straight line. These movements confuse their opponents and make it difficult for them to aim at it. It lives in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountains}}.

Prior to [[Generation V]], {{m|Teeter Dance}} was its [[signature move]], but other Pokémon could still inherit it via {{pkmn|breeding}}.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]]: One day, a Spinda appears in [[Pokémon Square]] and collapses. When it regains consciousness, Spinda explains that it is giving up a long journey to find the {{p|Ho-Oh|Mirage Pokémon}} and hands its one clue, the Clear Wing, to the player. The player must then solve [[the Mystery of the Mirage Pokémon]], which will reward them with the Rainbow Wing. Upon showing the Rainbow Wing to Spinda, or talking to Spinda as Ho-Oh, it becomes happy and leaves Pokémon Square.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]]: Spinda runs Spinda's café and takes over the juice bar. A {{p|Wynaut}} and a {{p|Wobbuffet}} also work at the café running the recycle shop. Later in the game, Project P is introduced. After it is introduced, occasionally when speaking to Wynaut the player may gain access to a dungeon normally accessed by selecting a job with ??? as the location or get a choice of more items in the recycle shop.

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

==In the TFG==
One Spinda figure has been released.
* {{TFG|Groundbreakers}}: {{TFG ID|Groundbreakers|Spinda|32}}

==Trivia==
* In [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], {{m|Toxic}} is depicted as two purple orbs spinning around each other towards the target. However, when Spinda uses Toxic, the orbs travel erratically. The same animation is used for {{p|Carnivine}}.
* Like {{p|Whirlipede}}, its base stat total might be based on the fact that it usually spins in circles, which are 360 degrees.
* Spinda's {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun}} [[Pokédex entry]] states that Spinda believe they walk in straight lines, oblivious to their teetering gait. However, in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], an NPC Spinda tells the player; ''"When I walk, I always totter."'', clearly being aware of this trait.
* Spinda and {{p|Deoxys}} are the only Pokémon to lack a second frame of animation for their front sprite in {{pkmn|Emerald|Pokémon Emerald}}.

===Spot patterns===
* Some of Spinda's [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] mention the odds of two Spinda having the same spot pattern as less than one in four billion. Since Spinda's spots are based on its [[personality value]] (or encryption constant in later games), which is a 32-bit number, a simplistic model would put the odds at 1 in 4,294,967,296, which is indeed smaller than one in four billion; however, it is actually possible for two personality values to produce spot patterns that are visually identical, so the real odds are somewhat higher.
** Using [https://web.archive.org/web/20230828010339/https://gatorshark.webs.com/Spinda%20Painter.htm this app], it can be found that two dots have 256 distinct locations, one dot has 254, and one dot has 237, counting all locations where the dot is entirely off-sprite as the same. This results in a total of 3,945,136,128 patterns. However, even this total is slightly too high, because if the upper left dot is far enough down and to the right, it can entirely eclipse the lower-left dot, resulting in a few more patterns being indistinguishable. Compare, for example, 0x0E07F5FB and 0x0EF0F5FB.
** The fewest spots a Spinda can visibly have is 1 - the sprite's leftmost spots can land entirely off the sprite, while the rightmost spots cannot, but instead can entirely overlap.
** In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, due to a [[List of glitches in Generation VIII#Spinda spot pattern glitches|glitch]] this value is interpreted as big-endian, causing the spot pattern to be rendered incorrectly. As an example, a value of <code>12345678</code> (hexadecimal) would be interpreted as <code>78563412</code> instead.<ref>https://twitter.com/Atrius97/status/1500557458623778819</ref>
** In [[Pokémon HOME]] v2.1.1 and prior versions, when opening the [[summary]] of a Spinda in the mobile app, Spinda would display the correct spot pattern, identical to its appearance in [[Generation VI]] and below. In HOME v3.0.0 all Spinda were displayed as having the same pattern as the static rendered image used in all HOME menus.<ref>https://twitter.com/Atrius97/status/1665787431009001472</ref> The encryption constant of Spinda in HOME remained unchanged (which meant that if transferred out of HOME into a compatible game, they would have likely retained their original spot pattern), however HOME's mobile app no longer displayed the spot pattern associated with the encryption constant of a given individual Spinda, all appearing identical to the "stock" rendered image of Spinda. This was resolved in v3.0.1.<ref name="Spinda HOME">https://twitter.com/Atrius97/status/1676088622943207424</ref>
*** The value internally used in Pokémon HOME as the "default" pattern for Spinda is <code>7A397866</code>,<ref name="Spinda HOME"/> which is a close match to the pattern shown in nearly all official artwork, sprites, and 3D renders of Spinda.
** In Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl's [[Super Contest]]s, the encryption constant is generated randomly instead of using the value from Pokémon the player selects, which for Spinda results in completely random spot patterns appearing for the duration of the contest, regardless of their true spot pattern.<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1828258413442142257</ref>
** In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, the temporary Pokédex entry created before catching a Spinda uses value of <code>00000000</code> before being overwritten by the obtained one; however, if the player's first Spinda is obtained via a trade, this value becomes permanent instead of being properly overwritten. This oversight is fixed in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and {{game|Emerald}}.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1g58JP0BfE The Spinda Rabbit Hole Goes Deeper than You Think]</ref>
* Unlike other Pokémon with no [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]], the [[Rotom Pokédex]] does not display a single model for both male and female Spinda, but rather a separate one for each. The models used are whatever the first spot patterns caught of each gender were.
** The Pokédex preview models for each gender, however, will always be a set model that will likely differ from the model the player will see.
* {{g|HOME}} cannot transfer Spinda into or out of {{g|GO}} or {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} due to inconsistencies in how its spot patterns works.
** In Pokémon GO, Spinda has nine predetermined forms rather than random patterns.
*** As a result, Spinda is one of only two Pokémon obtainable in GO that cannot have the {{DL|Origin mark|GO icon}} as its [[origin mark]], the other being {{p|Zygarde}}.
** In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, this is due to a [[List of glitches in Generation VIII#Spinda spot pattern glitch|bug]] in the game, which causes the encryption constant to be read as a {{wp|Endianness|big-endian}} value (i.e. bytes are read in reverse order), and would allow the possibility to indirectly change Spinda's spot pattern. Spinda is the only Pokémon that cannot be transferred out of these games.

===Origin===
Spinda appears to be based on a {{wp|Qinling panda}} with traits of {{wp|rabbit}}s. It also resembles a {{wp|teddy bear}} or other {{wp|stuffed toy}}. The swirls in its eyes are based on a cartoonish representation of someone being dazed or dizzy, and its staggering steps resemble the {{wp|drunken boxing}} style of martial arts, which attempt to imitate the movements of a drunk person to become unpredictable and elusive. The connection between Qinling pandas and dizziness may stem from the {{wp|Qinling|Qinling mountains}} upon which these pandas live – Qinling pandas can live as high as {{tt|3'000 metres|approx 9843 feet}} up these mountains, which is enough to induce {{wp|altitude sickness}} in humans. Additionally, the mountains suffer metal pollution in its soil and plant life, which can lead to {{wp|metal toxicity|metal poisoning}} over time<ref>''[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0048969719310484?via%3Dihub "Establish an environmentally sustainable Giant Panda National Park in the Qinling Mountains"]'', ''Science of the Total Environment'', 10th June 2019</ref>. Both conditions are known for dizziness and confusion as symptoms.

The use of "patch" in Spinda's Japanese name could refer to patches of fabric used to cover tears in a material. Spinda's random spots would then be the various bandages attached to a toy that has been damaged due to rough play, or even a toddler that has fallen over many times due to their inability to walk stably.

====Name origin====
Spinda may be a combination of ''spin'' and ''panda''.

Patcheel may be a combination of ''patch'' and ''reel'' (to lose one's balance).

'''Kommo-o''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ジャラランガ''' ''Jyararanga'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Fighting}} [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Hakamo-o}} starting at [[level]] 45. It is the final form of {{p|Jangmo-o}}.

==Biology==
Kommo-o is a bipedal, reptilian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} covered in scaly armor. Most of its body is gray with some lighter gray areas as well as yellow and red markings. It has a rounded, beak-ish snout and small eyes nearly hidden under its head armor. On the tip of its snout is a patch of pale gray and both the upper and lower jaws have a small, tooth-like spike on each side. The top of its head is covered by an elaborate arrangement of scales. At the front of the headdress is an oval scale, which is yellow with a red heart-shape at the base. On either side of the front scale is a chain of four circular scales; the first three scales are red with yellow trim and the last scale is solid yellow. Three additional chains of plain yellow scales extend from the back of the headdress. Running down the front of its long neck is a line of overlapping scales: one solid gray at the top, three larger gray ones with yellow rims, and one solid yellow scale at the bottom. A thick yellow stripe with a rounded projection in the center runs across its chest. Covering its shoulders are tufts of spiky, white feathers with small, gray scales overlapping them. Four overlapping scales cover the tops of its arms: three are gray with yellow edges and the scales that cover its hands are red with yellow edges.

Kommo-o has four scaly chains, all of which consist of four scales, extending from just behind its shoulders. The two foremost chains are made of overlapping scales and have a solid gray scale at the top followed by three scales with yellow edges. The other two chains consist of only solid gray scales and do not appear to overlap. The lower halves of its legs are dark gray and there is a pale gray marking across each knee. Its hands have four yellow claws, while the feet have only three. A long line of slightly raised, pale gray scales runs down the center of its back to about halfway up its tapering tail. Near the tip of its tail are three sets of loose scales that increase in size near the tip. Each set is made up of four separate scales that encircle the tail; the two lower sets are solid yellow, while the set nearest the tip have gray centers. The very tip of its tail is pale gray.

Kommo-o, having completed its harsh training, returns to its birthplace to protect {{p|Jangmo-o}}. However, it only watches over them from a distance. The power of this Pokémon's uppercut is enough to send foes flying, so simply raising its arms can generate enough force to change its surroundings. According to legend, Kommo-o's glittering scales are meant to drive away a great darkness. The reason it seeks strong opponents is also said to be a quest for power to defeat the darkness.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/kommo-o/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Kommo-o]</ref> Its scales function as both offensive weapons and defensive shields.

Because it does not wish to fight weak foes, it clangs its scales together when it senses someone approaching. Weak or cowardly opponents will panic at this sound and flee immediately. Kommo-o also swings the scales on its tail to threaten any enemies it sees. Upon finishing off its prey, Kommo-o will let out a victory howl. Additionally, the metallic sounds made by its comrades celebrating can also be heard all around the area the group is in.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20190702012737/https://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/ultra/en-us/gallery-detail-2.html | Kommo-o | Utlra Sun and Ultra Moon (Archived)]</ref>

While the {{pkmn|animated series}} shows that Kommo-o is capable of bipedal locomotion, the core series games since [[Generation VIII]] show that it vastly prefers to walk and run around by {{wp|knuckle-walking}}.

A special Kommo-o in [[Alola]] acts as the [[Totem Pokémon]] for an unmanned {{DL|Island challenge|trial}} in [[Vast Poni Canyon]]. This Kommo-o possesses [[Z-Power]], an energy that originates from [[Ultra Wormhole]]s and takes the form of a golden, flaring aura. The reward for defeating Totem Kommo-o and completing the trial is a [[Dragonium Z]].

Kommo-o is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the moves {{m|Clanging Scales}} and {{m|Clangorous Soul}}. Kommo-o is also the only known Pokémon capable of using the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Clangorous Soulblaze}}.

===Evolution===
Kommo-o evolves from {{p|Hakamo-o}} and is the final form of {{p|Jangmo-o}}.

==Trivia==

===Origin===
Kommo-o appears to be based on a {{wp|Theropoda|theropod}} {{wp|dinosaur}} with some traits from {{wp|Ankylosauria|ankylosaurs}}. It may also be based on a {{wp|monk}}. Kommo-o's tail bears resemblance to a {{wp|khakkhara}} (monk staff), and it is even used in a similar fashion. The fact that it uses its scales to produce sound may also reference {{wp|cymbal}}s and {{wp|castanets}}. Kommo-o also bears a striking resemblance to a {{wp|pangolin}}. Additionally, Kommo-o may also be partly based on the Mo'o, a type of shapeshifting Hawaiian Dragon, as well as the Komodo dragon. It's snout bears resemblance to {{wp|hatchet|hatchets}}.

====Name origin====
Kommo-o may be a combination of ''commotion'' (in reference to the noises produced by its scales) and ''mo'o'' (Hawaiian for lizard or dragon). It may also incorporate ''combat'', ''commander'', and ''komodo'' as in the {{wp|Komodo dragon}}, and the {{wp|Kokomo}} community on the island of Maui, Maui Community, Hawaii.

Jyararanga may derive from ジャラジャラ ''jarajara'' (onomatopoetic sound for jingling), ''dragon'', and ガランガラン ''garangaran'' (onomatopoetic sound for clanging).

'''Spinda''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パッチール''' ''Patcheel'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

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

Spinda is known for its variations, with each individual almost always having its own [[Variant Pokémon#Spinda|unique spot pattern]].

==Biology==
Spinda is a bipedal, red panda {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with rabbit-like features. Its eyes are made of two black spirals, which point in the opposite direction to each other. There is a similar swirling pattern on its ears. It has a small body with short stumpy arms and legs, and its coat is primarily cream-colored. Its arms are red and it has a red stripe bordering along the bottom of its belly, as well as two small spots on the soles of its feet. It has four spots, which can appear anywhere on its face and ears, with a fifth on the back of its head. These spot patterns are different for each and every Spinda.

It has dizzying, confusing, and scattering dance-like movements, though it thinks it is walking in a straight line. These movements confuse their opponents and make it difficult for them to aim at it. It lives in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountains}}.

Prior to [[Generation V]], {{m|Teeter Dance}} was its [[signature move]], but other Pokémon could still inherit it via {{pkmn|breeding}}.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]]: One day, a Spinda appears in [[Pokémon Square]] and collapses. When it regains consciousness, Spinda explains that it is giving up a long journey to find the {{p|Ho-Oh|Mirage Pokémon}} and hands its one clue, the Clear Wing, to the player. The player must then solve [[the Mystery of the Mirage Pokémon]], which will reward them with the Rainbow Wing. Upon showing the Rainbow Wing to Spinda, or talking to Spinda as Ho-Oh, it becomes happy and leaves Pokémon Square.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]]: Spinda runs Spinda's café and takes over the juice bar. A {{p|Wynaut}} and a {{p|Wobbuffet}} also work at the café running the recycle shop. Later in the game, Project P is introduced. After it is introduced, occasionally when speaking to Wynaut the player may gain access to a dungeon normally accessed by selecting a job with ??? as the location or get a choice of more items in the recycle shop.

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

==In the TFG==
One Spinda figure has been released.
* {{TFG|Groundbreakers}}: {{TFG ID|Groundbreakers|Spinda|32}}

==Trivia==
* In [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], {{m|Toxic}} is depicted as two purple orbs spinning around each other towards the target. However, when Spinda uses Toxic, the orbs travel erratically. The same animation is used for {{p|Carnivine}}.
* Like {{p|Whirlipede}}, its base stat total might be based on the fact that it usually spins in circles, which are 360 degrees.
* Spinda's {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun}} [[Pokédex entry]] states that Spinda believe they walk in straight lines, oblivious to their teetering gait. However, in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], an NPC Spinda tells the player; ''"When I walk, I always totter."'', clearly being aware of this trait.
* Spinda and {{p|Deoxys}} are the only Pokémon to lack a second frame of animation for their front sprite in {{pkmn|Emerald|Pokémon Emerald}}.

===Spot patterns===
* Some of Spinda's [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] mention the odds of two Spinda having the same spot pattern as less than one in four billion. Since Spinda's spots are based on its [[personality value]] (or encryption constant in later games), which is a 32-bit number, a simplistic model would put the odds at 1 in 4,294,967,296, which is indeed smaller than one in four billion; however, it is actually possible for two personality values to produce spot patterns that are visually identical, so the real odds are somewhat higher.
** Using [https://web.archive.org/web/20230828010339/https://gatorshark.webs.com/Spinda%20Painter.htm this app], it can be found that two dots have 256 distinct locations, one dot has 254, and one dot has 237, counting all locations where the dot is entirely off-sprite as the same. This results in a total of 3,945,136,128 patterns. However, even this total is slightly too high, because if the upper left dot is far enough down and to the right, it can entirely eclipse the lower-left dot, resulting in a few more patterns being indistinguishable. Compare, for example, 0x0E07F5FB and 0x0EF0F5FB.
** The fewest spots a Spinda can visibly have is 1 - the sprite's leftmost spots can land entirely off the sprite, while the rightmost spots cannot, but instead can entirely overlap.
** In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, due to a [[List of glitches in Generation VIII#Spinda spot pattern glitches|glitch]] this value is interpreted as big-endian, causing the spot pattern to be rendered incorrectly. As an example, a value of <code>12345678</code> (hexadecimal) would be interpreted as <code>78563412</code> instead.<ref>https://twitter.com/Atrius97/status/1500557458623778819</ref>
** In [[Pokémon HOME]] v2.1.1 and prior versions, when opening the [[summary]] of a Spinda in the mobile app, Spinda would display the correct spot pattern, identical to its appearance in [[Generation VI]] and below. In HOME v3.0.0 all Spinda were displayed as having the same pattern as the static rendered image used in all HOME menus.<ref>https://twitter.com/Atrius97/status/1665787431009001472</ref> The encryption constant of Spinda in HOME remained unchanged (which meant that if transferred out of HOME into a compatible game, they would have likely retained their original spot pattern), however HOME's mobile app no longer displayed the spot pattern associated with the encryption constant of a given individual Spinda, all appearing identical to the "stock" rendered image of Spinda. This was resolved in v3.0.1.<ref>https://twitter.com/Atrius97/status/1676088622943207424</ref>
*** The value internally used in Pokémon HOME as the "default" pattern for Spinda is <code>7A397866</code>,<ref>https://twitter.com/Atrius97/status/1676088622943207424</ref> which is a close match to the pattern shown in nearly all official artwork, sprites, and 3D renders of Spinda.
** In Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl's [[Super Contest]]s, the encryption constant is generated randomly instead of using the value from Pokémon the player selects, which for Spinda results in completely random spot patterns appearing for the duration of the contest, regardless of their true spot pattern.<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1828258413442142257</ref>
* Unlike other Pokémon with no [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]], the [[Rotom Pokédex]] does not display a single model for both male and female Spinda, but rather a separate one for each. The models used are whatever the first spot patterns caught of each gender were.
** The Pokédex preview models for each gender, however, will always be a set model that will likely differ from the model the player will see.
* {{g|HOME}} cannot transfer Spinda into or out of {{g|GO}} or {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} due to inconsistencies in how its spot patterns works.
** In Pokémon GO, Spinda has nine predetermined forms rather than random patterns.
*** As a result, Spinda is one of only two Pokémon obtainable in GO that cannot have the {{DL|Origin mark|GO icon}} as its [[origin mark]], the other being {{p|Zygarde}}.
** In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, this is due to a [[List of glitches in Generation VIII#Spinda spot pattern glitch|bug]] in the game, which causes the encryption constant to be read as a {{wp|Endianness|big-endian}} value (i.e. bytes are read in reverse order), and would allow the possibility to indirectly change Spinda's spot pattern. Spinda is the only Pokémon that cannot be transferred out of these games.

===Origin===
Spinda appears to be based on a {{wp|Qinling panda}} with traits of {{wp|rabbit}}s. It also resembles a {{wp|teddy bear}} or other {{wp|stuffed toy}}. The swirls in its eyes are based on a cartoonish representation of someone being dazed or dizzy.

The use of "patch" in Spinda's Japanese name could refer to patches of fabric used to cover tears in a material. Spinda's random spots would then be the various bandages attached to a toy that has been damaged due to rough play, or even a toddler that has fallen over many times due to their inability to walk stably.

====Name origin====
Spinda may be a combination of ''spin'' and ''panda''.

Patcheel may be a combination of ''patch'' and ''reel'' (to lose one's balance).

'''Defog''' (Japanese: '''きりばらい''' ''Fog Wipe'') is a non-damaging {{type|Flying}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation IV]]. It was [[HM05]] in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, and it was [[TM97]] in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}.

Defog cannot be used outside of battle without the {{badge|Fen}} in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} and the {{badge|Relic}} in {{v2|Platinum}}.

==Effect==
===In battle===
====Generation IV====
Defog lowers the target's {{stat|evasion}} one stage, even if the target is behind a {{OBP|substitute|doll}}. It bypasses {{stat|accuracy}} checks to always hit, unless the target is in the [[semi-invulnerable turn]] of a move such as {{m|Dig}} or {{m|Fly}}.

Defog clears away any [[fog]] on the field, as well as {{m|Light Screen}}, {{m|Reflect}}, {{m|Safeguard}}, {{m|Mist}}, {{m|Spikes}}, {{m|Toxic Spikes}}, and {{m|Stealth Rock}} on the target's side of the field.

====Generation V====
Defog can now be reflected with {{m|Magic Coat}} and no longer lowers the evasion of a Pokémon behind a {{OBP|substitute|doll}}.

====Generations VI and VII====
Defog now clears away {{m|Spikes}}, {{m|Toxic Spikes}}, {{m|Stealth Rock}}, and {{m|Sticky Web}} on both the user's and target's side of the field. In addition to Light Screen, Reflect, Safeguard, and Mist, it also clears away {{m|Aurora Veil}} from the target's side of the field only.

If powered up by a [[Flyinium Z]] into Z-Defog, the user's accuracy is raised by one stage.

====Generation VIII onwards====
Defog now also clears [[terrain]]s and the effects of {{m|G-Max Steelsurge}}.

===Outside of battle===
In certain games, Defog requires a specific [[badge]] to use outside of battle; the Fen Badge{{sup/4|DP}}{{sup/8|BDSP}} or Relic Badge{{sup/4|Pt}}.

====Sinnoh based games====
Defog clears away [[fog]] from the area. The effect lasts until the {{player}} leaves the area.

====HeartGold and SoulSilver to Sword and Shield, and Generation IX====
Defog can no longer be used outside of battle.

==Trivia==
* In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the Bag sprite for the HM containing Defog is mistakenly that of a {{type|Water}} HM, rather than a {{type|Flying}} one.
* Like {{m|Flash}} was in Generations {{gen|I}}, {{gen|II}}, and {{gen|III}}, Defog is not critical to the completion of the game, as a player can traverse foggy areas without using the move. However, unlike with dark caves requiring Flash to light them, foggy areas affect battles within them.
* In the {{pkmn|animated series}}, {{m|Gust}} and {{m|Whirlwind}} have sometimes been used in a similar manner to Defog.
* If a player teaches a Pokémon the move Defog by HM in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum, and then trades it to {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|Pokémon HeartGold or SoulSilver|s}}, the Pokémon can be freely imported to {{game3|Black and White|Pokémon Black or White|s}} via the [[Poké Transfer]], due to Defog not being needed outside of battle in HeartGold and SoulSilver. The same can be done with {{m|Whirlpool}} by transferring a Pokémon that learned it by HM in HeartGold or SoulSilver to Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum.
* Despite being able to learn Defog in previous generations, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Ledian}}, the {{p|Torchic}} evolutionary line, {{p|Seedot}}, {{p|Nuzleaf}}, {{p|Volbeat}}, {{p|Illumise}}, the {{p|Swablu}} evolutionary line, {{p|Castform}}, {{p|Chimecho}}, {{p|Rayquaza}}, {{p|Carnivine}}, and {{p|Rotom}} are all unable to learn Defog in [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]].
* {{p|Kartana}}'s ability to learn Defog might be a reference to {{wp|origami}} {{wp|pinwheel}}s, as Kartana itself is based on origami.

'''Stonjourner''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イシヘンジン''' ''Ishihengin'') is a {{type|Rock}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

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

==Biology==
[[File:StonjournerSilverTempest101.jpg|thumb|left|180px|Stonjourner resting]]
Stonjourner is a tall {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} made of rock, resembling {{wp|Stonehenge}}. It has a gray, rectangular body with white eyes and mouth, and is adorned with dark gray spots. On top of its body are two, smaller rectangular stones giving it the appearance of a hat. Its arms are made up of three chained, square rocks alternating between gray and dark gray. It has two large, gray legs resembling the standing stones on [[Turffield]], each of which weighs over 400 pounds (200 kg). These legs are brown on the lower half, and have a pair of gray crosses each. [[Stonjourner (Silver Tempest 101)|In the TCG]], a resting Stonjourner is shown to be able to detach and rotate its legs.

Occasionally, Stonjourner will unleash a burst of speed to perform dynamic feats with its legs. Most of the time, it stands in a field watching the sun's progress, preferring a quiet life. Curiously, once every year on a certain day, groups of Stonjourner gather from all over to form an evenly spaced ring or circle. No one knows the reason why they assemble in this formation, leading to many theories involving the position of the sun, the earth's energy, and other factors.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/stonjourner/ Stonjourner | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref> Another curiosity is that the elemental composition of the rocks that form Stonjourner's body were found to match the bedrock of a land far away from its native habitat. Stonjourner primarily makes its home in grasslands.

Stonjourner is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Power Spot}} as an [[Ability]].

==In the TCG==

==Trivia==
* Stonjourner can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Eiscue}}.
** They are {{pkmn2|version-exclusive|version exclusives}} of each other: Stonjourner is exclusive to {{pkmn|Sword and Shield|Sword}} and {{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet|Scarlet}}, while Eiscue is exclusive to Shield and Violet.
** They both have [[Signature Ability|signature Abilities]]: Stonjourner has {{a|Power Spot}}, while Eiscue has {{a|Ice Face}}.
** The version-exclusive [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Circhester Stadium]], [[Gordie]]{{sup/8|Sh}} and [[Melony]]{{sup/8|Sw}}, use Stonjourner and Eiscue in their respective teams.
* Stonjourner is tied with {{p|Caterpie}}, {{p|Weedle}}, {{p|Magikarp}}, {{p|Igglybuff}}, {{p|Carvanha}}, and {{form|Deoxys|Attack Forme}} {{p|Deoxys}} for the lowest base {{stat|Special Defense}} stat of all Pokémon.

===Origin===
Stonjourner appears to be based on {{wp|Megalith|Megalith structures}}, more specifically a {{wp|trilithon}} or a {{wp|dolmen}}. It may specifically be a direct reference to the {{wp|Stonehenge}} monument from the Middle {{wp|Neolithic}} of {{wp|Wiltshire}}, England. Stonjourner's behavior may reference the relationship between {{wp|Archaeoastronomy and Stonehenge|Stonehenge and astronomy}}, and the fact that there is evidence that this monument used to be visited once every year by a prehistoric culture, either in December or January.

Stonjourner may also be inspired from the {{wp|inuksuk}}. The crosses on its legs may be a reference to {{wp|runes}} from early {{wp|Germanic languages|Germanic culture}}, which had a prevalent impact on Britain during its {{wp|Anglo-Saxon}} era. Combined with the dirt, they resemble hiking boots.

Stonjourner's {{g|Scarlet}} Pokédex entry seems to be referencing the {{wp|bluestone}}s amongst the Stonehenge trilithons, which were imported from a quarry in the {{wp|Preseli Mountains}} of {{wp|Wales}} approximately 200km/124 miles North-West of Stonehenge.

====Name origin====
Stonjourner may be a combination of ''stone'' and ''sojourner'' (a person who resides temporarily in a place).

Ishihengin may be a combination of 石 ''ishi'' (stone), ''{{wp|Stonehenge}}'', and 変人 ''henjin'' (weird or eccentric person).

'''Gholdengo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''サーフゴー''' ''Surfugo'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Gimmighoul}} when [[level]]ed up while the player has 999 [[Gimmighoul Coin]]s. Upon the Evolution, the Gimmighoul Coins are consumed. Gimmighoul's Evolution cannot be canceled with the B button.

==Biology==
[[File:Gholdengo Surfboard.png|left|thumb|Gholdengo surfing]]
Gholdengo is a bipedal humanoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} whose body is composed of 1,000 [[Gimmighoul Coin]]s stacked together, giving it a golden, cylindrical appearance. Its face has oval eyes and a mouth displaying a crooked smile. Its body has skinny arms with large hands and short, stumpy legs with no toes. It has three fingers on each hand and four tufts of dreadlock-like "hair", all made out of coins. It wears the strap from a {{p|Gimmighoul}}'s chest as a belt, using it to fasten the chest to its side. The belt buckle has a stylized number 1,000 on it. Gholdengo is capable of creating a golden surfboard out of coins as a means of movement.

Gholdengo is a sociable Pokémon, able to quickly befriend anybody. It overwhelms opponents by firing coins at them in quick succession. The coins that form its body are tightly packed, making it able to withstand damage. When attacked by enemies, it can let loose some of the coins on the areas of its body that are hit, in order to absorb the impact.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/gholdengo/ Gholdengo — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref>

Gholdengo is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Make It Rain}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Good as Gold}} as an [[Ability]].
{{left clear}}
===Evolution===
Gholdengo evolves from either Chest Form or Roaming Form {{p|Gimmighoul}}.

{{main|Gholdengo (TCG)}}

==Trivia==
[[File:Pokémon 1000th EnCOUNTer.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Gold Counter in One Thousand Pokémon]]
* Despite its Japanese name and ability to create a surfboard out of coins, Gholdengo is incapable of learning the move {{m|Surf}}.
* Gholdengo is heavily associated with the number 1,000.
** Its [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex number]] is #1000.
*** A video titled “One Thousand Pokémon!” was made to commemorate the number of Pokémon surpassing 1,000. The video features a counter that increases as Pokémon appear, eventually turning gold when it reaches 1,000 with Gholdengo.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pa08Y-fhfTI&t=44s "One Thousand Pokémon]." [https://www.youtube.com/c/pokemon The Official Pokémon YouTube Channel]. ''YouTube''.</ref>
** Its belt buckle has a stylized depiction of the number 1,000 on it. As Gholdengo's belt is fashioned from Chest Form Gimmighoul's chest, this symbol is also present on Chest Form Gimmighoul, albeit oriented sideways.
** Its body is made of 1,000 [[Gimmighoul Coin]]s.

===Origin===
Gholdengo's golden humanoid appearance, together with its position as the 1,000th Pokémon in the National Pokédex, may allude to award statuettes, which are often made with gold and given to honor achievements or milestones. Gholdengo also seems to take inspiration from {{wp|surfing|surfers}}, given the golden surfboard it rides on as well as its dreadlock-like appendages and friendly nature, befitting of the archetypal "surfer dude". The recurring cylindrical shape on its body is similar to {{wp|coin wrapper}}s. Its surfboard is similar to {{wp|Koban (coin)|koban}} and {{wp|ōban}}.

Gholdengo is also likely based on gold or {{wp|tumbaga}} artifacts crafted by some pre-Columbian cultures of Central and South America, mainly from the modern-day {{wp|Pre-Columbian cultures of Colombia#Main cultures|Colombia}}. Some of the most notable examples are {{wp|Quimbaya artifacts}} and {{wp|tunjo}}s. These artifacts were commonly utilized as offerings in religious or funerary rituals, which may have inspired Gholdengo's {{t|Ghost}} type.

Additionally, Gholdengo may draw inspiration from {{wp|El Dorado}}, a legend described by Spanish {{wp|conquistador}}s about a lost city of gold, originally a king whose body was covered in gold. The legend is believed to have stemmed from a ceremony done by the {{wp|Muisca}} people, in which their ruler was initiated by having him covered in gold dust and floated into a lake on a {{wp|Muisca raft|raft}} to make offerings — the raft is likely referenced by Gholdengo's surfboard-like platform.

The association of a ghost with coins may draw inspiration from {{wp|Charon's obol}}, where the deceased are buried with coins as a preparation for the afterlife. The coins were frequently placed in the mouth or on the eyes. Additionally, the {{wp|Bush Barrow}} gold lozenge is a {{wp|Bronze Age}}, solid gold belt buckle buried alongside a ruler originally from West Europe, and could be why Gholdengo is wearing its chest strap as a belt. Tangentially, the chest attached to the belt gives the impression of a tool belt.

====Name origin====
Gholdengo may be a combination of ''ghoul'' or ''ghost'', ''golden'', and possibly ''go'' (as in {{g|GO}}, the game {{p|Gimmighoul}} debuted in). It may also come from ''tengo'' (Spanish for "I have") or ''деньги'' ''den'gi'' (Russian for money, itself from ''{{wp|denga}}'', a historical unit worth 1/200th of a {{wp|Russian ruble}}).

Surfugo may be a combination of ''surf'', {{j|富豪}} ''fugō'' (wealthy person), ''gold'', and possibly ''go'' (as in Pokémon GO).

'''Gimmighoul''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''コレクレー''' ''Collecurei'') is a {{type|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Gholdengo}} when [[level]]ed up while the player has 999 [[Gimmighoul Coin]]s. After the Evolution, the Gimmighoul Coins disappear. Gimmighoul's Evolution cannot be canceled with the B button.

Gimmighoul has two separate [[#Form data|forms]]: '''Chest Form''' and '''Roaming Form'''. Chest Form Gimmighoul only appears in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, in which it is the only form that can be natively {{pkmn|battle}}d and {{pkmn2|caught}}, while Roaming Form Gimmighoul will flee when interacted with, leaving behind Gimmighoul Coins. Roaming Form appears in {{g|GO}}, where it can be caught; it can then be [[transfer]]red to the core series games via the [[GO Transporter]].

==Biology==
Gimmighoul is a small, blue-gray, metallic, bipedal Pokémon, with bands of two thin black stripes present around its torso and between its gold, circular eyes. It has a pair of thin black antennae and a tail, which are bent near the base and tipped with small gold circles.

Its antennae vibrate when detecting something it deems notable, and will point at objects of interest. When Gimmighoul gathers 999 [[Gimmighoul Coin]]s, it evolves into {{p|Gholdengo}}.

===Forms===
Gimmighoul has two separate forms: Chest Form and Roaming Form. The two Forms are virtually identical to each other, with the main differences being their habits and personalities.

;Chest Form
[[File:Gimmighoul closed chest anime.png|200px|thumb|left|Chest Form Gimmighoul's closed chest]]

Chest Form Gimmighoul hides inside a red chest, decorated with black and golden accents and a silver buckle with an ornate oval pattern, resembling the number 1,000 when viewed from the side. The chest it resides in is full of the [[Gimmighoul Coin|coins]] that it collects.

Chest Form Gimmighoul was born inside a chest 1,500 years ago. [[Jacq]] is the one who discovered the Chest Form and coined its name. Its treasure chest provides defense but makes it hard for it to move due to the weight. Chest Form Gimmighoul are typically encountered in ancient [[Paldea]]n buildings, such as watchtowers and fort ruins, and even secluded islands. Its disguise and low movement speed cause it to be commonly mistaken for an antique and get left behind or taken away. When Chest Form Gimmighoul senses an approaching person or Pokémon, it uses ghost energy to control its target and force them to collect coins for its chest. It tends to hide in less frequented places such as warehouses and shop corners to ambush people and Pokémon while pretending to be an old treasure chest. Its control has notable persistence<ref name="SVsite">[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/gimmighoul/ Gimmighoul — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref>; one old tale tells of a Gimmighoul who manipulated a young girl to gather 999 coins to fill its chest<ref name="GimmighoulYT" />. It is also known to drain the life out of anyone who attempts to steal its coins.

;Roaming Form
Roaming Form Gimmighoul, unlike its counterpart, doesn't hide in a chest and instead carries an [[Gimmighoul Coin|ancient coin]] on its back, being held by its tail. Without its chest, it is among the [[List of Pokémon by height|smallest]] and [[List of Pokémon by weight|lightest]] of all Pokémon.

Roaming Form Gimmighoul was born from passion that seeped into a coin. [[Professor Willow]] is the one who discovered the Roaming Form and coined its name. Roaming Form Gimmighoul can be spotted in hiding places across Paldea, such as by signs, rocks, and bridges, as well as ancient ruins. It is extremely timid, running away and dropping its coin as soon as anyone approaches.<ref name="SVsite" /> It does not manipulate people and Pokémon to give it coins like its Chest Form counterpart; instead, it is able to gather coins by itself.<ref name="GimmighoulYT" /> Despite being found in [[Paldea]], no one has ever been able to capture this form of Gimmighoul. It constantly wanders, believed to be searching for the chest it used to live in. For sustenance, it drains the life force of humans who try to steal its coin. This form of Gimmighoul has also been seen appearing where Professor Willow lives in, where it tags along near Trainers who pick up Gimmighoul Coins.<ref name="SVsite" /> Gimmighoul has also been observed being lured over through the [[Coin Bag]] and [[Golden Lure Module]]s.<ref>https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/pokemon_go_gimmighoul/</ref>

===Form data===
Gimmighoul has two non-interchangeable forms: Chest Form and Roaming Form. Both can be found in [[Paldea]]'s overworld, but only Chest Form can be {{pkmn|battle}}d and [[catching|caught]], while Roaming Form will flee upon being interacted with, leaving behind Gimmighoul Coins, which are necessary for Gimmighoul to evolve. Roaming Form can only be obtained by [[transfer]]ring it from {{g|GO}} via the [[GO Transporter]].

The forms differ in their {{Abilities}}, with Chest Form having {{a|Rattled}} and Roaming Form having {{a|Run Away}}, as well as their [[base stats]], with Chest Form having higher {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} but lower {{stat|Speed}} compared to Roaming Form.

==Trivia ==
* Gimmighoul's Chest Form was named by [[Jacq]], while its Roaming Form was named by [[Professor Willow]].<ref name="GimmighoulYT">"[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nzi0S3NGzg Where are these mysterious coins coming from? 🤔 | Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet]." [https://www.youtube.com/c/pokemon The Official Pokémon YouTube Channel]. ''YouTube''.</ref>
* Gimmighoul is the only Pokémon with multiple [[form]]s that have no bearing on the Pokémon/form of the Pokémon they evolve into.
* Gimmighoul is the only Pokémon whose [[Evolution]] requires [[TM Material]]s.
* Both forms of Gimmighoul are tied with Unovan {{p|Yamask}} and {{p|Litwick}} for having the lowest base {{stat|Attack}} stat of all {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon.
* Chest Form Gimmighoul has the lowest base {{stat|Speed}} stat of all Ghost-type Pokémon.
* Roaming Form Gimmighoul has the lowest base {{stat|Defense}} stat of all Ghost-type Pokémon.
* Roaming Form Gimmighoul is tied with {{p|Sinistea}} and {{p|Poltchageist}} as the [[List of Pokémon by height|shortest]] Ghost-type Pokémon, and tied with {{p|Gastly}} and {{p|Haunter}} as the [[List of Pokémon by weight|lightest]] Ghost-type Pokémon.
* Gimmighoul is the only Pokémon in {{g|GO}} that evolves without {{OBP|Candy|GO}}, even if it is not {{OBP|trade|GO}}d.
* Gimmighoul is heavily associated with the number 999:
** Its [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex number]] is #0999.
** It evolves when leveled up while the player has 999 [[Gimmighoul Coin]]s.
** It was first teased through a website with a counter that periodically counted to 999.
** A promotional video about Gimmighoul tells the tale of a Gimmighoul who manipulated a young girl to fill its chest with 999 coins.<ref name="GimmighoulYT" />
* Due to its Ghost type, Roaming Form Gimmighoul's {{a|Run Away}} [[Ability]] is redundant unless its [[type change]]s, such as via {{Tera}}stallization or {{m|Soak}}.
* Gimmighoul only learns 2 moves by level-up, the fewest of all Ghost-type Pokémon.
* It is not possible to [[Escape|flee]] from a Chest Form Gimmighoul; even if the player's Pokémon is a {{t|Ghost}} type or is faster. Attempting to flee via pressing the "Run" option or use a Pokémon with the {{a|Run Away}} Ability will give the "''You can't escape!''" message. Using the [[Poké Doll]] will give the same dialogue that a player would receive if they try to use certain [[Key Item]]s such as the [[Shiny Charm]]. Using the moves {{m|Whirlwind}} or {{m|Roar}} will fail.

===Pre-release teasers===
Chest Form Gimmighoul was teased through a special website<ref name="Chest">[http://web.archive.org/web/0/https://chest.pokemon.com/ Earliest archive of https://chest.pokemon.com/]</ref> that went live on November 5, 2022 at 13:00 UTC. It showcased Gimmighoul's chest and a counter, which periodically ticked upwards every few hours as it was slowly filled with coins. The counter eventually capped out at 999 on November 6, 2022 at 14:00 UTC, and the site became a redirect to a new page on the {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} website.<ref>"[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/chest-research/ Investigations into a Newly Discovered Pokémon Are Under Way!]" — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website</ref>

Roaming Form Gimmighoul was also teased on November 5, 2022, appearing in Pokémon GO after the {{p|Dratini}} [[Community Day|Community Day Classic]] event ended. Golden [[PokéStop]]s were added to the game, and spinning one would cause a Roaming Form Gimmighoul to show up and follow the player for a short time, although it could not be properly encountered or caught.

Prior to the release of its teasers, an obscured Roaming Form Gimmighoul could be seen very briefly in the English version of the "Jump into a Paldean Journey" trailer for {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, posted on October 6, 2022.<ref>"[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YEEDqke-D0&t=573s Jump into a Paldean Journey | Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet]." [https://www.youtube.com/c/pokemon The Official Pokémon YouTube Channel]. ''YouTube''.</ref> It does not appear in the Japanese version of this trailer.

===Origin===
As indicated by its English name, Gimmighoul may be based on the {{wp|ghoul}}, a mythical creature from Arabic folklore known for luring people into deserted places before preying on them, and stealing coins. The word ''ghoul'' (Arabic: غُول ''ghūl'') stems from the Arabic word غَالَ ''ghāla'', meaning "to seize". Gimmighoul's antennae and tail resemble {{wp|dowsing|dowsing rods}}, which are believed to be able to help people locate buried treasures. The association of a ghost with coins, as well as its eyes resembling coins, may also draw inspiration from {{wp|Charon's obol}}, where the deceased are buried with coins as a preparation for the afterlife. The coins were frequently placed in the mouth or on the eyes.

Gimmighoul's Chest Form may be based on the {{wp|Mimic (Dungeons & Dragons)|mimic}}, a monster archetype commonly found in RPGs, known for disguising itself as treasure chests. Its Roaming Form may be based on the Catalan folktale of {{wp|Patufet}}, a tiny child who carries a coin. It may also be based on the {{wp|toyol}} (also known as ''tuyul''), an infant-like spirit from Indonesian and Malay folklore invoked to steal riches from people. Alternatively, its tiny size may stem from the thousands of tiny gold studs embedded into two {{wp|Bronze Age}} bronze daggers recovered from a grave in {{wp|Bush Barrow}}, each just a millimetre in length and a fifth of a millimetre in width. Gimmighoul's association with the number 999 may be a reference to {{wp|Fineness#Gold|999 fine gold}}, equivalent to 24 karat gold.

Considering its Evolution, Gimmighoul's design may also draw inspiration from {{wp|El Dorado}}, a legend now believed to originate in Spanish conception of {{wp|Muisca}} rituals performed in pre-colonial {{wp|Colombia}}. Its laminated body shape resembles {{wp|tunjo}}s, Muisca figurines made of molded gold in the shape of divine humans or animals. Its Ghost type could be based on the fact that tunjos are commonly found in burial places and places of worship.

====Name origin====
Gimmighoul may be a combination of ''gimme'' (informal pronunciation of "give me"), ''gimmick'', ''mimic'', and ''ghoul''. Altogether, it sounds like the phrase "Give me gold."

Collecurei may be a combination of ''collect'', 霊 ''rei'' (spirit), and a pun on the phrase これくれ ''kore kure'' ("Give me this").

'''Dunsparce''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ノコッチ''' ''Nokocchi'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Dudunsparce}} when [[level]]ed up while knowing {{m|Hyper Drill}}.

Dunsparce will evolve into one of two {{fd|Dudunsparce|forms}} of Dudunsparce, '''Two-Segment Form''' or '''Three-Segment Form''', with a 1/100 chance of evolving into Three-Segment Form Dudunsparce.

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

==Biology==
Dunsparce is a {{wp|snake|serpentine}}, and somewhat {{wp|insect|insectoid}}, {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a primarily yellow body, blue underside, and blue-and-cream-striped back. Its head is round with a wide mouth extending under its jowls and curving up toward the middle of its face. Its chin is blue with two rounded prongs. Its eyes—round and rimmed with blue—are kept closed, revealing its cream-colored eyelids. On Dunsparce's upper back are two tiny white wings. Its body ends in a drill-like tail.

Dunsparce can float slightly with its wings, which some scientists believe were used to fly in the sky during ancient times. However, it avoids detection and flees when spotted by burrowing into the ground with its tail. It lives immobile in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|caves}} and beneath the earth, where it makes maze-like nests. They get along with {{p|Diglett}} and share tunnels with each other. Dunsparce can navigate through its nests without getting lost by the smell of the dirt.

Dunsparce and its evolved form, {{p|Dudunsparce}}, are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Hyper Drill}}.

===Evolution===
Dunsparce evolves into {{p|Dudunsparce}}.

This is not the case for [[Wild Pokémon|wild]] Dudunsparce (including those encountered in [[Tera Raid Battle]]s), as these will always be in Two-Segment Form regardless of their encryption constant value.<ref>[https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1596550660241039360 Encounter rates for Three-Segment Dudunsparce by Anubis/Sibuna_Switch on Twitter]</ref>

Since [[Nature]]s were determined via [[personality value]] prior to [[Generation V]] (which itself is indistinct from encryption constants prior to [[Generation VI]]), a Hardy Nature Dunsparce with the [[Ability]] {{a|Serene Grace}} that is [[transfer]]red from Generation {{gen|III}} or {{gen|IV}} to [[Generation IX]] will have a 50% chance of evolving into Three-Segment Form Dudunsparce, whereas Dunsparce from the same [[generation]]s with other Natures or the Ability {{a|Run Away}} will always evolve into the Two-Segment Form (unless a Dunsparce with Run Away came from {{pkmn|Colosseum}})

===Major appearances===
Dunsparce debuted in ''[[EP191|The Dunsparce Deception]]'', where an entire town was full of children owning Dunsparce. [[Bucky]] was the only child without a Dunsparce and asked {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} for assistance. In the end, he was able to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} one.

In ''[[BW131|The Path That Leads to Goodbye!]]'', Ash tried to catch a Dunsparce, but [[Iris's Axew]] bumped into [[Ash's Pikachu]], which led to Dunsparce escaping.

In ''[[XY059|Under the Pledging Tree!]]'', Ash wanted to catch another Dunsparce, but was unable to, as he didn't have any [[Poké Ball]]s on hand at that moment, thus letting Dunsparce get away again.

===Minor appearances===
A Dunsparce appeared in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]''.

In ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage!]]'', a Dunsparce was trapped in an {{p|Ariados}}'s web.

==Trivia==
* In the {{pkmn|animated series}}, Dunsparce is usually shown to be much shorter than 4'11" (1.5 m), which is its listed height (or in this case, length) in the {{pkmn|games}}.
** It is also shown as much smaller than its listed height in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity]] and [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], being even smaller than {{p|Pikachu}}.
* Dunsparce was designed by [[Hironobu Yoshida]].<ref>[http://wayback.archive.org/web/20080704081535/http://www.gpara.com/contents/creator/bn_225.htm Drill Dozer interview by Gpara] (Japanese)</ref>

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Dunsparce}}
Dunsparce appears to be based on the snake-like {{wp|Tsuchinoko}} cryptid of Japan. Visually, its design may be a pun on one of the cryptid's other names, バチヘビ ''bachi hebi'' (bee snake), as Dunsparce appears to combine bee- and snake-like features. It may draw specific inspiration from {{wp|Anthophorini|digger bees}}. Its perpetually closed eyes and {{wp|drill}}-like tail, which also resembles a {{wp|rattlesnake}}'s rattle, may have been inspired by the {{wp|vestigiality|vestigial}} eyes and barbed tail of {{wp|Typhlopidae|blind snakes}}. Its tendency to burrow backward is similar to {{wp|Ophichthidae|snake eels}}, as well as the {{wp|Cirriformia|thread-gilled worm}} ''Cirriformia moorei''. Dunsparce may also have connections to {{wp|Amphiptere}}s, such as {{wp|Quetzalcoatl}}, or {{wp|flying snakes}}. Its gourd-shaped body may reference gourd-shaped sake bottles, given that the Tsuchinoko is said to have a taste for alcohol.

Given its larviform appearance, horn-like tail, and ring-circled eyes that resemble the {{wp|Eyespot (mimicry)|eyespots}} of some species, Dunsparce may draw inspiration from {{wp|Sphingidae|sphinx moth caterpillars}}, which have a history of being mistaken for the Tsuchinoko. This may double as a nod to the Nozuchi, a large caterpillar-like creature thought to be synonymous with the Tsuchinoko.

====Name origin====
Dunsparce may be a combination of ''dun'' (a dull, sandy brown - the colour of Dunsparce's eyes and back; or a subadult mayfly), ''dunce'' (stupid or dim-witted, in line with its names in other languages), and ''sparse'', for its rarity.

Nokocchi may be derived from an {{wp|anagram}} of ツチノコ, the katakana spelling of 槌の子 ''tsuchinoko'' (a fabled snake-like creature).

'''Dunsparce''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ノコッチ''' ''Nokocchi'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Dudunsparce}} when [[level]]ed up while knowing {{m|Hyper Drill}}.

Dunsparce will evolve into one of two {{fd|Dudunsparce|forms}} of Dudunsparce, '''Two-Segment Form''' or '''Three-Segment Form''', with a 1/100 chance of evolving into Three-Segment Form Dudunsparce.

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

==Biology==
Dunsparce is a {{wp|snake|serpentine}}, and somewhat {{wp|insect|insectoid}}, {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a primarily yellow body, blue underside, and blue-and-cream-striped back. Its head is round with a wide mouth extending under its jowls and curving up toward the middle of its face. Its chin is blue with two rounded prongs. Its eyes—round and rimmed with blue—are kept closed, revealing its cream-colored eyelids. On Dunsparce's upper back are two tiny white wings. Its body ends in a drill-like tail.

Dunsparce can float slightly with its wings, which some scientists believe were used to fly in the sky during ancient times. However, it avoids detection and flees when spotted by burrowing into the ground with its tail. It lives immobile in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|caves}} and beneath the earth, where it makes maze-like nests. They get along with {{p|Diglett}} and share tunnels with each other. Dunsparce can navigate through its nests without getting lost by the smell of the dirt.

Dunsparce and its evolved form, {{p|Dudunsparce}}, are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Hyper Drill}}.

===Evolution===
Dunsparce evolves into {{p|Dudunsparce}}.

===Evolution data===
The form of {{p|Dudunsparce}} that Dunsparce [[Evolution|evolves]] into is determined based on its [[personality value#Dudunsparce's form|encryption constant]], with a 99% chance of it evolving into the Two-Segment Form and a 1% chance of it evolving into the Three-Segment Form. This is not the case for [[Wild Pokémon|wild]] Dudunsparce (including those encountered in [[Tera Raid Battle]]s), as these will always be in Two-Segment Form regardless of their encryption constant value.<ref>[https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1596550660241039360 Encounter rates for Three-Segment Dudunsparce by Anubis/Sibuna_Switch on Twitter]</ref>

Since [[Nature]]s were determined via [[personality value]] prior to [[Generation V]] (which itself is indistinct from encryption constants prior to [[Generation VI]]), a Hardy Nature Dunsparce with the [[Ability]] {{a|Serene Grace}} that is [[transfer]]red from Generation {{gen|III}} or {{gen|IV}} to [[Generation IX]] will have a 50% chance of evolving into Three-Segment Form Dudunsparce, whereas Dunsparce from the same [[generation]]s with other Natures or the Ability {{a|Run Away}} will always evolve into the Two-Segment Form (unless a Dunsparce with Run Away came from {{pkmn|Colosseum}})

==In animation==
[[File:Dunsparce anime.png|thumb|250px|Dunsparce in {{aniseries|BW}}]]
===Major appearances===
Dunsparce debuted in ''[[EP191|The Dunsparce Deception]]'', where an entire town was full of children owning Dunsparce. [[Bucky]] was the only child without a Dunsparce and asked {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} for assistance. In the end, he was able to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} one.

In ''[[BW131|The Path That Leads to Goodbye!]]'', Ash tried to catch a Dunsparce, but [[Iris's Axew]] bumped into [[Ash's Pikachu]], which led to Dunsparce escaping.

In ''[[XY059|Under the Pledging Tree!]]'', Ash wanted to catch another Dunsparce, but was unable to, as he didn't have any [[Poké Ball]]s on hand at that moment, thus letting Dunsparce get away again.

===Minor appearances===
A Dunsparce appeared in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]''.

In ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage!]]'', a Dunsparce was trapped in an {{p|Ariados}}'s web.

In ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]'', a {{pkmn|Coordinator}}'s Dunsparce competed in the [[Appeal|Performance Stage]] of the {{to|Solaceon}} {{pkmn|Contest}}.

A Dunsparce appeared in a flashback in ''[[JN032|Time After Time!]]''.

A Trainer's Dunsparce appeared during a flashback in ''[[HZ018|Flying Pikachu, Rising Higher and Higher!]]''.

Two Dunsparce appeared in ''[[HZ051|The Flower Tower]]''.

A Dunsparce appeared in ''[[HZ052|Wattrel's High Wind Warning!]]''.

==Trivia==
* In the {{pkmn|animated series}}, Dunsparce is usually shown to be much shorter than 4'11" (1.5 m), which is its listed height (or in this case, length) in the {{pkmn|games}}.
** It is also shown as much smaller than its listed height in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity]] and [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], being even smaller than {{p|Pikachu}}.
* Dunsparce was designed by [[Hironobu Yoshida]].<ref>[http://wayback.archive.org/web/20080704081535/http://www.gpara.com/contents/creator/bn_225.htm Drill Dozer interview by Gpara] (Japanese)</ref>

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Dunsparce}}
Dunsparce appears to be based on the snake-like {{wp|Tsuchinoko}} cryptid of Japan. Visually, its design may be a pun on one of the cryptid's other names, バチヘビ ''bachi hebi'' (bee snake), as Dunsparce appears to combine bee- and snake-like features. It may draw specific inspiration from {{wp|Anthophorini|digger bees}}. Its perpetually closed eyes and {{wp|drill}}-like tail, which also resembles a {{wp|rattlesnake}}'s rattle, may have been inspired by the {{wp|vestigiality|vestigial}} eyes and barbed tail of {{wp|Typhlopidae|blind snakes}}. Its tendency to burrow backward is similar to {{wp|Ophichthidae|snake eels}}, as well as the {{wp|Cirriformia|thread-gilled worm}} ''Cirriformia moorei''. Dunsparce may also have connections to {{wp|Amphiptere}}s, such as {{wp|Quetzalcoatl}}, or {{wp|flying snakes}}. Its gourd-shaped body may reference gourd-shaped sake bottles, given that the Tsuchinoko is said to have a taste for alcohol.

Given its larviform appearance, horn-like tail, and ring-circled eyes that resemble the {{wp|Eyespot (mimicry)|eyespots}} of some species, Dunsparce may draw inspiration from {{wp|Sphingidae|sphinx moth caterpillars}}, which have a history of being mistaken for the Tsuchinoko. This may double as a nod to the Nozuchi, a large caterpillar-like creature thought to be synonymous with the Tsuchinoko.

====Name origin====
Dunsparce may be a combination of ''dun'' (a dull, sandy brown - the colour of Dunsparce's eyes and back; or a subadult mayfly) and ''sparse'', for its rarity.

Nokocchi may be derived from an {{wp|anagram}} of ツチノコ, the katakana spelling of 槌の子 ''tsuchinoko'' (a fabled snake-like creature).

Nuzlocke Challenge

2025-05-05T11:53:20Z

Pallukun: /* Decreased difficulty */

[[File:Basic Nuzlocke rules.png|thumb|300px|The two basic Nuzlocke rules]]
The '''Nuzlocke Challenge''' is a set of rules intended to create a higher level of difficulty while playing the [[Pokémon games]]. A playthrough using these rules is often called "'''a Nuzlocke'''".

Nuzlockes are a popular way to play the games among {{pkmn|fandom|fans}}. Many feel that the rules encourage greater Pokémon variety, create value for ones the player would not normally choose, and promote closer bonds with the player's team. The rules are not an in-game function, but self-imposed on the player's part, and thus subject to variation.

The challenge originates from the [http://www.nuzlocke.com/ comic series] of the same name, which features a {{p|Nuzleaf}} resembling ''{{wp|Lost (2004 TV series)|Lost}}'' character {{wp|John Locke (Lost)|John Locke}} as a recurring gag character.

==History==
The basic rules were invented by Nick Franco, a Californian screenwriter and then-university-student, in March 2010. Franco posted comics depicting his playthrough of [[Pokémon Ruby]] to 4chan's /v/ board, where they gained attention and inspired others to try the challenge.<ref>https://www.vox.com/culture/2019/11/22/20976759/pokemon-what-is-nuzlocke-challenge-sword-shield</ref> The following month, Franco launched a website for his comics and a forum for fans' challenge chronicles.<ref>https://nuzlockeforums.com/forum/threads/reflecting-on-12-years-of-the-nuzlocke-challenge-nostalgia-on-how-it-all-started.20929/</ref> Over time, the concept spread to various websites and formats such as written stories, animations and livestreams.

Franco uses "Nuzlocke" as a screen name, while his comic is titled "Pokémon: Hard-Mode". However, the word Nuzlocke eventually came to be associated with the ruleset itself.

==Rules==
===Basic rules===


The Nuzlocke Challenge has only two rules that must be followed:
*'''Limited Encounters:''' The {{player}} may only catch the first [[wild Pokémon]] encountered in each area, and no others. If the first wild Pokémon encountered faints or flees, there are no second chances.
**If the first encounter in an area is a [[Double Battle]] or [[Horde Encounter]], the player may choose which of the encountered Pokémon to catch, but only one of them.
*'''Dying''': Any Pokémon that [[Fainting|faints]] is considered dead and must be {{pkmn2|released}}. Revival methods such as [[Revive]], [[Revival Blessing (move)|Revival Blessing]], etc. are forbidden. If the player runs out of living Pokémon, they've failed the challenge and must restart the game.

===Near-universal rules===
*'''Mandatory Nicknames:''' The player must nickname all of their Pokémon, for the sake of forming stronger emotional bonds.
*'''"Met in" Confirmation:''' If the player is unsure whether a location is a valid new encounter or not, such as multiple levels of a cave, they can look at the Pokémon's [[summary]] page to see where they were "Met" in order to confirm whether it's a new location or not.
**'''Gift Pokémon:''' Some players consider [[Gift Pokémon]] (such as the {{p|Eevee}} found in the [[Celadon Condominiums]]) to be separate encounters from wild Pokémon encountered in the same area.
***As of [http://www.nuzlocke.com/comics/pokemon-hard-mode/page/11/ White: Hard-Mode, Episode 3], it is implied that the player can accept Pokémon that are received freely from NPCs.
*'''No Resets:''' The player may not voluntarily soft-reset to undo progress. Being able to do so would render all other rules pointless.
*'''No Cheating:''' Cheating devices (such as [[GameShark]]) may not be used except to make the game harder (such as cheating to disable [[Exp. Share]] in games that don't allow such an option.)
*'''Full Wipe:''' A [[Black out|black out/white out]] is considered to be 'game over' even if there are live Pokémon left in the [[Pokémon Storage System]].
*'''No Outside Trading:''' The player may only use Pokémon obtained through in-game methods, meaning that [[Trade|trading]] with other save files, [[Mystery Gift]]s, etc. are all prohibited.
**'''Trade Evolution Clause:''' There is no firm consensus on trading a [[trade Evolution]] Pokémon away and back to one's file to evolve it.
*'''Boxing:''' Deceased Pokémon may be permanently sent to the [[Pokémon Storage System]] or [[transfer]]red to another game rather than releasing them.

===Optional rules===
Though the above rules tend to stay consistent with all players, many variant rules have been created to adjust difficulty based on personal preference. Many other rules exist besides those listed here. Regardless of the optional rules used, the run is considered a Nuzlocke Challenge so long as the two basic rules are in place.

====Increased difficulty====
===== ''Battle restrictions'' =====
* '''Set Mode Clause:''' The battle style must be changed to "Set" in the options menu, meaning the player does not get the opportunity to switch out their Pokémon after an opponent's Pokémon faints. In [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], where there is no set mode, the player must manually decide not to switch each time.
* '''Equal Parties/Fair Fight Clause:''' During Gym Leader and [[rival]] battles, the [[Party|active party]] must not have more Pokémon than the opponent's.
* '''No Items:''' No items may be used during battles except for [[held items]]. Limitation due to perceived power-level of X-items.
* '''No Heal Items:''' [[Potion]]s and [[Status condition healing item|status-healing items]] may not be used.
* '''No Held Items: '''Held items may not be used.

===== ''Leveling restrictions'' =====
* '''Level Cap: '''The player may not use Pokémon above the level of the next [[Gym Leader]]/[[Elite Four]]/{{pkmn|Champion}}'s highest-levelled Pokémon (their "ace"). Pokémon that exceed the level limit might be left in storage until they become eligible, or they might have to be released.
* '''No Evolving: '''The player must use the B-button to cancel any evolutions under their ownership.
* '''No Child Support:''' The {{pkmn|Day Care}} may not be used.
* '''No Exp Share: '''The [[Exp. Share]] may not be used. (This does not apply to games starting from [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], where the Exp. Share can't be disabled without third-party tools.)
*'''No Candy:''' [[Rare Candy]] and [[Exp. Candy]] may not be used.

===== ''Overworld restrictions'' =====
* '''No/Limited Pokémon Centers:''' Pokémon Centers may not be used, or only used a certain number of times per Center, or a certain number of times between each Gym.
* '''No Buying: '''No items may be purchased from NPCs; the player must rely on what they find in the overworld or receive for free.
* '''Limited Balls:''' Only a certain number of [[Poké Ball]]s may be purchased per store.
* '''No Escape:''' The player may not [[Escape|flee]] from battle.
**'''No Wild Encounters:''' Alternatively, the player must flee whenever possible, in order to limit the amount of [[experience]] gained.

===== ''Pokémon restrictions'' =====
* '''Random Starter:''' The [[first partner Pokémon]] must be randomly chosen. A common system is: if the last digit of the character's [[Trainer ID number]] is 1-3, the player must choose the Grass-type first partner Pokémon; if it is 4-6, the Fire-type; if it is 7-9, the Water-type; if it is 0, free choice. Alternatively, use the Trainer ID {{wp|Modulo operation|modulo}} 3: remainder 0 = Grass, remainder 1 = Fire, remainder 2 = Water.
* '''Caught Only:''' The first partner Pokémon must be released or boxed after the first wild Pokémon is caught.
* '''One Per Gym:''' The player may only catch the first Pokémon after each Gym Leader instead of in each area.
* '''Ban List:''' Certain Pokémon such as [[Legendary Pokémon|Legendaries]], [[Pseudo-legendary Pokémon|Pseudo-Legendaries]], and/or other powerful Pokémon are banned as they excessively mitigate the difficulty of the challenge.
* '''Monotype/Monocolor Challenge:''' Only Pokémon of a certain [[Type]] or [[List of Pokémon by color|color]] may be used. Rather than the first Pokémon encountered in an area, the player may catch the first one which fits the category or will evolve into fitting the category. If a Pokémon would lose the category upon evolution, it may not evolve.
* '''Notepad Clause:''' No Pokémon may be kept in the PSS; in other words, the player may only own six Pokémon at a time. This was named after its inventor, user "Notepad" on the now-defunct original Nuzlocke Forum.
** '''Notepad Extreme/First 6 Only:''' The player may only own six Pokémon throughout the entire run. If all six faint or otherwise become ineligible, then it's an instant 'game over'.
* '''Giftlocke:''' Only [[Gift Pokémon]] may be used. Catching and breeding Pokémon are banned.
* '''No Repels:''' It is forbidden to use [[Repel]]s before the first encounter on a route, as this can guarantee certain appearances. Alternatively, it is forbidden to use Repels whatsoever, in order to expose the team to more danger.

===== ''Miscellaneous'' =====
*'''Limited Training: '''Quality-of-life features such as [[Pokémon-Amie]], the [[DexNav]] and [[Super Training]] may not be used.
*'''Challenge Mode:''' ({{2v2|Black|White|2}} only) The difficulty must be set to [[Key System|Challenge Mode]], which increases the levels of opposing Trainers' Pokémon. This is not frequently used because, due to [[List of battle glitches in Generation V#Challenge Mode stat glitch|a glitch]], the stats of NPC-owned Pokémon are based on the level in Normal Mode.
*'''Memory Only:''' Online aids (walkthroughs, NPC team info, etc.) may not be used.
*'''Speedrun:''' In addition to the Nuzlocke rules, the player tries to defeat the Champion with as little "time played" on the save file counter as possible.
*'''Progression Sacrifice:''' After each [[Badge]] the player randomly selects one party member to sacrifice.

====Decreased difficulty====
*'''Slow Start:''' The two basic rules are not in effect until the player has gained their first [[Poké Ball]]s and thus the ability to catch Pokémon. For example, encounters starting from the {{p|Poochyena}}{{sup/3|RS}}{{sup/6|ORAS}}/{{p|Zigzagoon}}{{sup/3|E}} that the player has to save [[Professor Birch]] from, up to when the player can catch Pokémon, are not counted. Likewise, in the games where the first rival battle is immediately after obtaining the first partner Pokémon, the "release or permanently box a Pokémon if it faints" rule is often not enforced at that time.
*'''Species/Dupes Clause:''' The "first wild Pokémon in each area" rule does not apply in an area until a Pokémon in an evolutionary line is encountered that has not been caught yet. For example, if the player's first encounter in an area is with a {{p|Caterpie}} and they already own a Caterpie, {{p|Metapod}}, or {{p|Butterfree}}, it wouldn't count as their first encounter in that area. This allows for increased variety in a Pokémon collection.
**A limit may be set on how many times the player can apply the Species/Dupes Clause in an area. If this many duplicate Pokémon are encountered in an area, the Species/Dupes Clause is no longer applied for that area and the player must settle for the next Pokémon they encounter.
**'''Dusty Clause/Token Clause''': During a monotype or monocolor run, for each area the player passes through which has no valid encounters, they might collect one "token" which is "spent" to catch an extra valid Pokémon in the future. Named after its inventor, user "Dustox" on the Nuzlocke Forum.
*'''Second Chance:''' The player may have a small number of "second chances" or revives of fallen team members. Typically this type of ruling is done by Gym, such as getting 1 revive per Badge.
*'''Shiny Clause:''' [[Shiny Pokémon]] can be caught even if they're not a first encounter, and do not need to be released if they faint. It's up to the player whether Shinies may be used during the challenge, or merely traded away/transferred to another game for safekeeping.
**'''Shiny Replacement Clause:''' A compromise where Shiny Pokémon may be used in a Nuzlocke, but another Pokémon must be released in exchange.
*'''Checkpoints:''' Each Gym Badge can act as a checkpoint. If the player gets a game over, they may restart from when they won their last Badge.
*'''HM Helper:''' If the player has no Pokémon that can use a [[field move]] that is required to continue the game, they may catch another Pokémon to use the required field move. However, this Pokémon cannot be used in battle and must be released as soon as it is no longer needed or if the player catches another Pokémon that can use the same field move.
*'''On Safari: '''The "first encounter only" rule is modified for the [[Safari Zone]]. One catch may be permitted for each sector of the Zone, rather than the more restrictive interpretation that the entire Zone is one area. This rule is largely used to due to the varied encounter pools of each sector, and the Safari Zones often containing many Pokémon not found elsewhere.
**Similarly, the [[Pokémon Den]]s of Galar's [[Wild Area]] can be interpreted as their own "new area" each, rather than only making one catch from the entire Wild Area or from each named sub-area.
**Areas sharing a name but divided by story progression may be considered two distinct areas, such as [[Unova]]'s [[Pinwheel Forest]], which contains an outer area accessible before beating the [[Nacrene Gym]], and an inner area accessible afterwards, each with their own encounter pools.
*'''A Little Help From My Friends: '''Cheating devices (such as [[GameShark]]) may be used.
**'''Rare Candy Clause:''' Hack in infinite [[Rare Candy|Rare Candies]] to avoid tedious grinding. It was popularized by the streamer Pokémon Challenges.
**'''Master Ball Clause:''' Hack in infinite [[Master Ball]]s to avoid wild Pokémon accidentally being knocked out, [[Escape|running away]], or using escape moves like {{m|Teleport}} and {{m|Roar}}.

==Variant rulesets==
*'''Hardcore Nuzlocke:''' A general name for any Nuzlocke variant which restricts item use and over-leveling, in order to produce a more difficult run and more strategic play.
*'''Wonderlocke''': Any Pokémon caught must immediately be traded using [[Wonder Trade]] and the received Pokémon is used instead. Typically, this comes with a level restriction where if the received Pokémon is more than a certain number of levels higher than the original Pokémon, it must be traded again until an appropriate-level Pokémon is received.
*'''Soul-Link''': Two-player variant where both players' Pokémon are "soul-linked" based on their origin. So the first partner Pokémon are linked, the Pokémon from Route 1 are linked, and so on. If a Pokémon dies, its soulmate does too. Linked Pokémon must be in both players' parties at once, i.e., one cannot leave a Pokémon in the PSS while its soulmate is on the active team.
**Common additional rules include restricting duplicate types between the two players. If either player is using a Pokémon of a certain type, the other player cannot use any Pokémon of that same type. If both players find the same type of Pokémon for one encounter, neither is able to use it.
*'''Egglocke''': The player catches Pokémon, 1 per route as normal, but instead of using the Pokémon caught, they hatch a randomly generated egg. Usually this is done via trades or cheat devices, where the egg Pokémon are chosen by a third party, such as friends or a streaming audience.
*'''Wedlocke''': Each pair of Pokémon is married/bonded based on the order they're caught in. A Pokémon can only switch out for its bondmate. If a Pokémon dies, its bondmate must be the next one sent in. If one "widow" survives a battle, they might either remarry the next catch, or get perma-boxed ("retire out of grief").
*'''Randomizer:''' Randomizer mods can be used to add more variety to Nuzlockes. However, encountering a Legendary or other powerful Pokémon early can greatly reduce difficulty. Additionally, catch rates may have to be adjusted via the Randomizer in order for Legendary Pokémon to be feasibly caught using low-tier Balls.
*'''Alphabetlocke:''' The six Pokémon in the active party must be the first six species names in alphabetical order (or reverse alphabetical). For example, if the player has a Squirtle, Pidgey, Mankey, Beedrill, Pikachu, Geodude, Clefairy, and Abra, then the player's active team is: Abra, Beedrill, Clefairy, Geodude, Mankey, Pidgey. Then if Mankey evolves into Primeape, its new name is lower in alphabetical order, so Pikachu takes its spot on the team.
*'''Lorelocke:''' [https://nuzlockeforums.com/forum/threads/the-lorelocke-celebrating-5-years-ama-of-rubyclaw-and-mewstein-included-and-update-1-60-with-all-gen-7-pokemon.2197/ A large ruleset] with individual rules for each species, inspired by mythological creatures and stories.
*'''Ballocke:''' Instead of limiting Pokémon by route, this variant limits by type of Ball. Only one Pokémon may be caught in a Poké Ball, one may be caught in a Great Ball, one in a Quick Ball, etc.

==Tips==
*'''Repel Encounter Manipulation:''' Having a [[Repel]] active and a Pokémon in the first position at a specific level can be used to filter out unwanted encounters and in some cases guarantee specific encounters.
*'''Sacking:''' For difficult encounters, it is wise to have at least one Pokémon you are willing to sacrifice in order to switch to a better one. Recommended Pokémon to be sacked are: ones with weak base stats, ones whose type is shared by a more powerful teammate, or ones who could have a replacement caught in an upcoming place.
*'''Play Around The Crit:''' Being aware if your Pokémon is in danger of being taken out by a [[critical hit]] is key to avoiding unnecessary deaths. [[Generation I]] has a critical hit damage multiplier between 1.5× and 1.95× depending on the level, with higher levels doing more damage. From Generations {{gen|II}} to {{gen|V}}, the damage dealt by a critical hit is 2× as much as a normal hit. From [[Generation VI]] onward, critical hits deal 1.5× more damage. Also, critical hits ignore stat changes, such as increased Defense with Defense Curl.
*'''Avoid Unnecessary Encounters:''' Trainers use better decision-making and have higher levels on average than wild Pokémon within the same route. Avoiding non-required trainer battles increases the chance your Pokémon will survive.
*'''Be Aware of Mandatory Battles:''' Don't trigger mandatory battles, such as rival fights, without first making sure your team is fully healed and properly leveled.
*'''Don't Underlevel:''' There is no reason to have an under-leveled Pokémon during important battles. Even if adhering to Gym Leader level restrictions, make sure to have your team at the level cap before you challenge the Leader.
*'''Protect the Important Ones:''' Be aware of which Pokémon are best suited to upcoming Gyms, and do not expose them to unnecessary risks such as fighting a strong Route trainer.
*'''Baiting:''' {{pkmn|Trainer}}-owned Pokémon will choose the move that is most effective against the enemy Pokémon. As such, you can bait certain moves in order to get a free switch. A common example is having a Pokémon weak to {{type|Ground}} moves out on the field and then switch to a Pokémon that is immune to Ground moves, such as a {{type|Flying}} Pokémon or a Pokémon with {{a|Levitate}}.
*'''Generational Awareness:''' Be aware of changes between generations. For example: {{a|Sturdy}}, in Generations {{gen|III}} and {{gen|IV}} only, protects against [[one-hit knockout move]]s, while in Generation V onward, it protects the Pokémon from being knocked out with one hit while at full HP.
*'''PP Stall:''' Using healing moves or items (if allowed) in order to force a dangerous encounter to waste all their good moves. Typically, this is used for low-PP moves that deal large amounts of damage. If successful, this can lead to the enemy using {{m|Struggle}} to knock itself out.

==Trivia==
*So far in the original Nuzlocke comics, one first partner Pokémon of each type has been used: {{p|Treecko}} in [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby]], {{p|Charmander}} in [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed]], and {{p|Oshawott}} in the ongoing [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|White]] challenge.
*The original Nuzlocke run through Ruby was a failure, due to the entire active team dying in the Champion battle.
*In the Nuzlocke Forums' [https://nuzlockeforums.com/forum/threads/final-team-frequency-4-0.20759/ log of successful runs], the most victorious Pokémon of all time is {{p|Gyarados}}, which has survived 240 recorded Champion battles at time of writing.

'''Gholdengo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''サーフゴー''' ''Surfugo'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Gimmighoul}} when [[level]]ed up while the player has 999 [[Gimmighoul Coin]]s. Upon the evolution, the Gimmighoul Coins are consumed. Gimmighoul's evolution cannot be canceled with the B button.

==Biology==
[[File:Gholdengo Surfboard.png|left|thumb|Gholdengo surfing]]
Gholdengo is a bipedal humanoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} whose body is composed of 1,000 [[Gimmighoul Coin]]s stacked together, giving it a golden, cylindrical appearance. Its face has oval eyes and a mouth displaying a crooked smile. Its body has skinny arms with large hands, and short, stumpy legs with no toes. It has three fingers on each hand and four tufts of dreadlock-like "hair", all made out of coins. It wears the strap from a {{p|Gimmighoul}}'s chest as a belt, using it to fasten the chest to its side. The belt buckle has a stylized number 1,000 on it. Gholdengo is capable of creating a golden surfboard out of coins as a means of movement.

Gholdengo is a sociable Pokémon, able to quickly befriend anybody. It overwhelms opponents by firing coins at them in quick succession. The coins that form its body are tightly packed, making it able to withstand damage. When attacked by enemies, it can let loose some of the coins on the areas of its body that are hit, in order to absorb the impact.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/gholdengo/ Gholdengo — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref>

Gholdengo is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Make It Rain}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Good as Gold}} as an [[Ability]].

==Trivia==
[[File:Pokémon 1000th EnCOUNTer.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Gold Counter in One Thousand Pokémon]]
* Despite its Japanese name and ability to create a surfboard out of coins, Gholdengo is incapable of learning the move {{m|Surf}}.
* Gholdengo is heavily associated with the number 1,000.
** Its [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex number]] is #1000.
*** A video titled “One Thousand Pokémon!” was made to commemorate the number of Pokémon surpassing 1,000. The video features a counter that increases as Pokémon appear, eventually turning gold when it reaches 1,000 with Gholdengo.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pa08Y-fhfTI&t=44s "One Thousand Pokémon]." [https://www.youtube.com/c/pokemon The Official Pokémon YouTube Channel]. ''YouTube''.</ref>
** Its belt buckle has a stylized depiction of the number 1,000 on it. As Gholdengo's belt is fashioned from Chest Form Gimmighoul's chest, this symbol is also present on Chest Form Gimmighoul, albeit oriented sideways.
** Its body is made of 1,000 [[Gimmighoul Coin]]s.

===Origin===
Gholdengo's golden humanoid appearance, together with its position as the 1,000th Pokémon in the National Pokédex, may allude to award statuettes, which are often made with gold and given to honor achievements or milestones. Gholdengo also seems to take inspiration from {{wp|surfing|surfers}}, given the golden surfboard it rides on as well as its dreadlock-like appendages and friendly nature, befitting of the archetypal "surfer dude". The recurring cylindrical shape on its body is similar to {{wp|coin wrapper}}s.

Gholdengo is also likely based on gold or {{wp|tumbaga}} artifacts crafted by some pre-Columbian cultures of Central and South America, mainly from the modern-day {{wp|Pre-Columbian cultures of Colombia#Main cultures|Colombia}}. Some of the most notable examples are {{wp|Quimbaya artifacts}} and {{wp|tunjo}}s. These artifacts were commonly utilized as offerings in religious or funerary rituals, which may have inspired Gholdengo's {{t|Ghost}} type.

Additionally, Gholdengo may draw inspiration from {{wp|El Dorado}}, a legend described by Spanish {{wp|conquistador}}s about a lost city of gold, originally a king whose body was covered in gold. The legend is believed to have stemmed from a ceremony done by the {{wp|Muisca}} people, in which their ruler was initiated by having him covered in gold dust and floated into a lake on a {{wp|Muisca raft|raft}} to make offerings — the raft is likely referenced by Gholdengo's surfboard-like platform.

The association of a ghost with coins may draw inspiration from {{wp|Charon's obol}}, where the deceased are buried with coins as a preparation for the afterlife. The coins were frequently placed in the mouth or on the eyes.

Gholdengo could also be partially inspired by ''{{wp|Marvel Comics}}''{{'}} {{wp|Silver Surfer}}, a metallic alien with a spacecraft shaped like a surfboard.

====Name origin====
Gholdengo may be a combination of ''ghoul'' or ''ghost'', ''golden'', and possibly ''go'' (as in {{g|GO}}, the game its pre-Evolution Gimmighoul debuted in). It may also come from ''tengo'', the Spanish word for "I have".

Surfugo may be a combination of ''surf'', {{j|富豪}} ''fugō'' (wealthy person), ''gold'', and possibly ''go'' (as in Pokémon GO).

{{samename|sandwich ingredient|Egg (item)}} ''For the [[curry]] ingredient, see [[Boiled Egg]].''
:''For the Egg-related [[glitch]]es, see [[Glitch Egg]] and [[Bad Egg]].''
[[File:SugimoriEggs.png|right|thumb|235px|Eggs of {{p|Togepi}} and {{p|Elekid}}]]
[[File:Hatching Egg V.png|frame|right|A {{p|Larvesta}} hatching from its Egg]]
A '''Pokémon Egg''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンのタマゴ''' ''Pokémon Egg'') is an object from which most {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are known to hatch. Pokémon Eggs have appeared in all [[core series]] games where Pokémon breeding has been available, and were a major plot point in [[Generation II]], in which they were introduced. They have also appeared in several spin-off games.

In some animation and manga appearances, an Egg's shell will have a pattern that reflects the appearance of the Pokémon inside.

==In the core series games==
Pokémon Eggs are produced by {{pkmn|breeding}} two Pokémon of a compatible [[Egg Group]] and opposite gender together and will contain, by default, the lowest species in the evolutionary line of the mother. According to a girl in [[Solaceon Town]], where one of many [[Pokémon Day Care]]s are located, no one has ever seen a Pokémon lay an Egg, and thus, it is not confirmed that this is how they appear. According to Professor Elm, as quoted by a man in [[Hearthome City]], and a {{tc|Monsieur}} in [[Coumarine City]], Eggs are not actually eggs and are more like "cradles".

Some Pokémon, known as [[baby Pokémon]], are also found by hatching them from an Egg created by their evolved forms, either naturally or through use of a held [[incense]]. Unlike other species {{egg|No Eggs Discovered|which cannot breed}}, baby Pokémon evolve into species which can do so. In the games, [[Legendary Pokémon]] cannot breed in captivity, and only two [[Mythical Pokémon]]—{{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Phione}}—are capable of breeding, both producing Phione Eggs when bred with {{p|Ditto}}.

===Mechanics===
[[File:Egg Gen II.png|frame|right|An Egg's status screen in [[Generation II]]]]
The amount of time left until a Pokémon hatches from its Egg is determined by the number of [[Egg cycles]] (which are measured in steps) that the player walks when it is in the party (including movement on a [[Bicycle]] or while {{m|Surf}}ing). In-game [[time]] has no direct bearing on Egg hatching.

Eggs utilize the same memory allocation as Pokémon, so the coding structure is very similar. What would be the [[friendship]] value in a Pokémon is the [[Egg cycle]] count for an Egg. Unlike friendship, this value counts down at the end of every Egg cycle.

From Generation V to VIII, an Egg will hatch when its Egg cycle count reaches zero. If multiple Eggs become ready to hatch at the same time, the first Egg in the party will hatch first while each subsequent Egg will hatch with each subsequent step. In [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]], each subsequent eggs will hatch back to back (due to the textbox with the "Oh?" message immediately apperaing when brought back in the overworld after hatching an egg) instead.

In Generations III, IV and [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], an Egg will only hatch if its Egg cycle count is zero before an Egg cycle ends (meaning that an extra Egg cycle must be walked). Only one Egg can hatch per Egg cycle, since Eggs are processed in order and if one hatches, any remaining Eggs are not touched.

Generation II is like Generations III and IV except that an Egg will hatch when its Egg cycle count reaches zero.

In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, an Egg will not hatch when climbing, gliding or flying with [[Koraidon]] or [[Miraidon]].

The number of Egg cycles that an Egg has left determines the text that is shown on its status screen.

====Generation II====
[[File:Gold Silver Beta Egg.png|thumb|A [[Pokémon Gold and Silver beta|pre-release image]] of an Egg hatching in Pokémon Gold and Silver]]
Generation II introduced the system of Egg creation and hatching that would continue, much unaltered, to the present. The first Pokémon Egg obtainable by the {{player}} in the series was a [[Key Item]] given by [[Mr. Pokémon]] in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}. The [[Mystery Egg]] is to be delivered to [[Professor Elm]] in [[New Bark Town]]; he will then study it and have one of his aides return it to the player in the [[Violet City]] [[Pokémon Center]].

Elm's studies show that when a Pokémon Egg is carried with a {{pkmn|Trainer}} with a [[party]] of lively Pokémon, it will eventually hatch. This is easily proven, as some time after the Egg is given, if it is kept in the party, it will hatch into a {{p|Togepi}}.

The player reaching the Daycare on {{rt|34|Johto}} marks where the game mechanics of breeding are truly introduced. Though unrevealed in the games (and only ever truly shown by {{g|Stadium 2}} and [[Pokédex 3D]]), Pokémon belong to one or two of fifteen [[Egg Group]]s, and those which share an Egg Group and are of opposite gender are capable of breeding. Pokémon without gender can be bred with a {{p|Ditto}}, as can any other Pokémon not in the {{egg2|No Eggs Discovered}}. Pokémon in the No Eggs Discovered Group will not breed with any Pokémon or produce any Eggs.

Pokémon that hatch from an Egg will come out at level 5, having whatever moves their species can learn by that level, any move both parents know that the hatched Pokémon can learn through level-up, any [[TM]] or [[HM]] moves they are compatible with that were known by their father, and any [[Egg Move]]s their father passed down. The father's moves take priority over the moves the species would usually have at that level.

These are the only games in which an Egg's status screen differs considerably from that of a normal Pokémon, as all later games use either a modified version of the Pokémon status screen of that game (as is the case in Generation III), or the same status screen, minus some pages (as is the case in Generation IV, V, and VII).

====Generation III====
Generation III retained much of the system introduced in Generation II, with only one major change: [[incense]]s are introduced that, if held by the appropriate Pokémon, will cause them to produce Eggs that hatch into new baby Pokémon (who were introduced in this generation). There are incenses for {{p|Marill}}'s and {{p|Wobbuffet}}'s evolutionary lines, which allow them to produce Eggs that hatch into {{p|Azurill}} and {{p|Wynaut}} respectively. Presumably, these incenses are meant to keep the results of breeding consistent across generations while still allowing earlier evolutions to be introduced.

All other mechanics present in Generation II are present in Generation III, including the system for hatching Eggs, except that Eggs require an extra Egg cycle to hatch. Egg Groups now have more members, but the groups themselves number the same as in Generation II, and no Pokémon have changed groups.

In {{game|Emerald}}, several more mechanics were added. A Pokémon's [[Nature]] could be influenced if its mother held an [[Everstone]] while in the Day Care, while Pokémon with {{a|Magma Armor}} or {{a|Flame Body}} shorten the hatching process if they are in the party with Eggs.

In Generation III, a Pokémon Egg's type is listed as {{t|???}}.

No Eggs can be obtained from or traded to [[Pokémon Colosseum]] or {{XD}}.

====Generation IV====
{{incomplete|section|needs=Manaphy Egg in Ranch}}
Generation IV expanded on the mechanics found in Emerald, making them standard to the series, as well as added more baby Pokémon only obtainable through [[incense]] breeding. A new mechanic is that either parent can now pass down its nature to its offspring if it holds an Everstone. In addition to this, Pokémon Eggs now hatch at level 1. This would have been possible in Generation III as well, but was not in Generation II due to a glitch in the programming that caused level 1 "[[Experience#Experience to level|Medium Slow]]" Pokémon to jump to level 100 instantly when leveled up.

A minor change in mechanics from Generation III causes Eggs to hatch slightly earlier, with the length of an Egg cycle dropping from 256 to 255 steps. The Manaphy Egg obtainable from Ranger games has its own sprite that is different from other, normal Eggs' sprites.

Trainers can use the Pokétch {{DL|Pokétch|Day-Care Checker}} app to check whether or not an Egg has been produced, unlike in previous generations, where Trainers attempting to breed two Pokémon would need to stay near the Day Care if they wished to get an Egg as soon as it was ready.

Eggs may also be transferred to [[My Pokémon Ranch]], but they will not hatch as long as they are kept in the game. When the ranch reaches the maximum level (level 25, requiring 999 Pokémon to be present in the ranch), [[Hayley]] will offer to trade any Pokémon Egg for her Mew.

In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, Eggs cannot be given massages; if attempted, the [[Massage Girl]] will exclaim, "That's silly! I'd break that Egg if I tried to massage it!"

=====Special dates =====
In the [[Generation IV]] games, [[Egg cycle]]s are reduced from 255 steps to 230 steps on certain days. For example, on a reduced-cycle day, a {{p|Magikarp}} will take 1380 steps to hatch instead of 1530 steps.

====Generation V====
Building on the mechanics introduced in HeartGold and SoulSilver, Generation V makes it possible for female Pokémon with a Hidden Ability to pass on their Hidden Ability to their offspring, unless the father is a Ditto. The Manaphy Egg is found [[List of Pokémon by index number in Generation V|in the coding of Black and White]], but was not used.

A significant change to the mechanics of [[Egg cycle]]s in Generation IV causes Eggs to hatch at earlier times; Eggs now hatch when their Egg cycle count drops from 1 to 0, rather than when it is 0 at the end of an Egg cycle, effectively reducing the number of Egg cycles that need to be walked by 1. The length of an Egg cycle was also increased from 255 to 257 steps, but this effect is overshadowed by the change in the hatching trigger.

==== Generation VI====
Again expanding on mechanics from previous games, Generation VI builds upon the mechanics from Generation V by allowing mothers to pass on [[Egg Move]]s and [[Poké Ball]]s, removing the ability to pass on [[TM]]s and [[HM]]s from the father, and allowing any Pokémon to pass down Hidden Abilities when bred with Ditto. Another new mechanic is the ability for the parents to pass down five IVs if one of them holds a [[Destiny Knot]].

====Generation VII====
Again expanding on mechanics from previous games, Generation VII builds upon the mechanics from Generation VI by allowing fathers to pass on [[Poké Ball]]s when bred with Ditto and randomizing which Poké Ball is passed down when two Pokémon of the same species breed and they are in different balls.

====Generation VIII====
Again expanding on mechanics from previous games, Generation VIII builds upon the mechanics from Generation VII by allowing two Pokémon to pass Egg Moves to each other if one knows the move and the other has an open move slot for it.

====Generation IX====
In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Eggs can be found during [[Picnic]]s. Species that produced different baby Pokémon if holding an incense now produce these baby Pokémon naturally. Incenses do not appear in these games.

In some cases that the game may crash, {{Shiny}} Pokémon that are hatched from the Eggs can appear again, but only if the game was saved before the Egg is hatched and it is in the {{player}}'s [[party]].

===Eggs received from in-game events ===
{{main|List of Pokémon Eggs from in-game events}}

In several [[core series]] games, the player is able to obtain Pokémon Eggs from certain [[non-player character]]s.

In the [[Generation I]] games, their [[Generation VII]] remakes, and in {{pkmn|Legends: Arceus}}, there are no Pokémon Eggs due to the absence of the {{pkmn|breeding}} mechanic. In [[Pokémon X and Y|Pokémon X, Y]], [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Sword, and Shield]], the breeding mechanic is available but no Eggs are received from in-game events.

Some Eggs can also be received in [[Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire]] and transferred to the [[Generation III]] games.

==In the side series games==
===Pokémon Stadium 2===
[[File:Stadium 2 Egg.png|frame|Egg]]
{{incomplete|section|Add image of a Shiny Egg in comparison to non-Shiny Eggs in the Pokémon Lab from Pokémon Stadium 2}}

In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], "EGG" is considered a [[nickname]] of the Pokémon species inside. Due to Pokémon Stadium 2 hue shifting nicknamed Pokémon into different colors, Eggs get hue shifted as well. This can be seen when viewing Eggs in the [[Pokémon Lab (Stadium)|Pokémon Lab]]. Shinies do not ever get hue shifted, and therefore, all Pokémon Eggs with a Shiny inside are the default tan color without any color change. This way, it is possible to tell if a Pokémon Egg is Shiny before it hatches.

==In the spin-off games==
[[File:Hey You Pikachu Togepi Egg.png|thumb|right|A Togepi Egg]]
===Hey You, Pikachu!===
In [[Hey You, Pikachu!]], a Togepi Egg can be found and hatched while completing the Pokémon Picnic missions. In Japan, this game was released before the launch of Generation II, making it the first Egg to appear in a game.

=== Pokémon Snap===
The Eggs of the [[Kanto]] [[legendary birds]] appeared in {{g|Snap}}. This was the first appearance of Pokémon Eggs outside of Japan. These Eggs could be hatched by player interaction.

*{{p|Articuno}}: This Egg is in the {{OBP|Cave|Snap}} area. It is silver and has a crystalline form. It hatches with the aid of two dancing {{p|Jynx}}.
*{{p|Zapdos}}: This Egg is in the [[Tunnel]] area. It is yellow with a jagged electric pattern on it. It hatches with the aid of a {{p|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Thunderbolt}}.
*{{p|Moltres}}: This Egg is in the {{OBP|Volcano|Snap}} area. It is white with a red flame design on it. It hatches when a [[Pester Ball]] or an apple knocks it into the lava.

Four Eggs are available as unlockables in {{g|Puzzle Challenge}}; over time, they will hatch, and the Pokémon inside are only playable in Marathon mode.
*{{p|Magby}} is available after hatching the Fire Egg.
*{{p|Elekid}} is available after hatching the Lightning Egg.
*{{p|Igglybuff}} is available after hatching the Normal Circle Egg.
*{{p|Cleffa}} is available after hatching the Normal Star Egg.

===Pokémon Breeder mini===
[[File:Pokémon Breeder egg.png|thumb|120px|right|{{pkmn|Breeder mini}} Eggs]]
Three Eggs containing {{p|Treecko}}, {{p|Torchic}}, and {{p|Mudkip}} are available for the player to choose between in {{g|Breeder mini}}. However, these Eggs have a generic appearance, rather than their individual designs present in other media.

===Pokémon Channel===
{{incomplete|section|images of the following Eggs: Azurill, Sentret, and Wynaut}}
In {{g|Channel}}, Pokémon Eggs appear on the ''Eggzamination: Hatch Up!'' channel, where the player can guess which Pokémon is within an Egg, and will win money if correct on hatching, which can take any time between 5 minutes to 24 hours. While some Pokémon hatch from plain white Eggs, a number of Eggs that have appeared in the animated series are a main feature on the channel.

Pokémon that hatch from their animated series Eggs include {{p|Aipom}}, {{p|Azurill}}, {{p|Bellsprout}}, {{p|Cleffa}}, {{p|Hoppip}}, {{p|Igglybuff}}, {{p|Krabby}}, {{p|Ledyba}}, {{p|Magby}}, {{p|Mudkip}}, {{p|Phanpy}}, {{p|Pichu}}, {{p|Sentret}}, {{p|Slowpoke}}, {{p|Smoochum}}, {{p|Swinub}}, {{p|Teddiursa}}, {{p|Togepi}}, {{p|Torchic}}, {{p|Treecko}}, {{p|Wooper}}, and {{p|Wynaut}}.

Pokémon that hatch from plain white Eggs include {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Chansey}}, {{p|Charmander}}, {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Corsola}}, {{p|Cubone}}, {{p|Diglett}}, {{p|Delibird}}, {{p|Eevee}}, {{p|Geodude}}, {{p|Girafarig}}, {{p|Goldeen}}, {{p|Hoothoot}}, {{p|Koffing}}, {{p|Mr. Mime}}, {{p|Natu}}, {{p|Poliwag}}, {{p|Psyduck}}, {{p|Remoraid}}, {{p|Shellder}}, {{p|Smeargle}}, {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Sudowoodo}}, {{p|Vulpix}}, and {{p|Zubat}}.

===Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire===
[[File:Pinball RS Egg.png|thumb|right|Pinball RS Eggs]]
Eggs can be hatched while playing in Egg Mode in {{g|Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire}}. While playing on the [[Ruby Field]], hit {{p|Cyndaquil}} into the Egg stand three times to start heating the Egg. Hitting it once more will make the Egg hatch. Afterwards, sending the ball into the Egg stand again will lead to {{p|Aerodactyl}} or {{p|Totodile}} replacing the Egg. While playing on the [[Sapphire Field]], send the ball through the Egg Stand to turn on one of the lights. This only works by sending the ball up the lower Egg Loop and not through Spoink launching the ball. Once all four lights are lit, the Egg will hatch the next time the ball is sent through the Egg stand. Afterwards, sending the ball through the Egg stand once more makes a new Egg appear and the process starts over. After an Egg has been hatched it must be caught by hitting it twice with the {{i|Poké Ball}} in less than a minute, otherwise it will go back into the Egg Stand.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], the {{player}} can earn Eggs as a reward for missions with a reward listed as ???. Only one Egg can be kept at a time, and will be sent to [[Treasure Town#Chansey's Day Care|Chansey's Day Care]]. The Egg will hatch after a random number of days, at which point, the hatched Pokémon will ask to join the player's team, be at level 1, and know [[Egg Move]]s.
{{spoilers}}
A [[Wonder Egg]] can be found at the end of the [[Surrounded Sea]], which will hatch into {{p|Manaphy}} the next morning.
{{Endspoilers}}

===Pokémon Battle Chess===
==== Pokémon Battle Chess BW Version====
In [[Pokémon Battle Chess]] BW Version, a {{p|Victini}} Egg acts as the equivalent of a king piece in chess. The Egg can take three hits before it hatches, and Victini can take one before fainting. If this Victini faints, the controlling player loses. The Egg can still be moved even while unhatched, though only when it has been damaged at least once.

====Pokémon Battle Chess (Set)====
In the Pokémon Battle Chess set, a {{p|Togepi}} Egg replaced Victini as the king piece. Both Togepi and Victini have the same rules as an Egg and when undamaged, though they have different movement and damage rules for when each has taken damaged after hatching.

===Pokémon GO===
:''For current and historic lists of Eggs in {{g|GO}}, see [[List of Eggs in Pokémon GO]].''

In {{g|GO}}, a Pokémon Egg can be hatched by placing it inside an [[Egg Incubator]] and travelling a required distance. A player can hold a maximum of nine Eggs at once and cannot discard unhatched Eggs. In addition, if these nine slots are filled, there are three bonus Egg slots that can only hold Strange Eggs and Eggs obtained from Adventure Sync rewards. The player's travel is only counted towards hatching an Egg at low speeds (i.e. walking and running speeds). [[Adventure Sync]] allows the player's walked distance to be tracked even while the app is closed; without it, only walking while the app is open counts towards hatching Eggs.

There are five different distances which Eggs can require: 2, 5, 7, 10, and 12 km. Starting October 25, 2016, Eggs are colored based on the total distance required to hatch them: 2 km Eggs are white with green spots, 5 km Eggs are white with orange spots, 7 km Eggs are yellow with pink spots, 10 km Eggs are white with purple spots, and 12 km Eggs (also known as Strange Eggs) are white with red spots. 7 km Eggs were introduced on June 21, 2018, initially only being able to hatch into [[Alolan form]]s, but the pool has since been expanded to include [[baby Pokémon]] as well. Strange Eggs were introduced on October 12, 2020.

In December 2020, three bonus storage spaces were added. If the player already has nine Eggs, Eggs can still be received from weekly Adventure Sync rewards or from Team GO Rocket Leader battles and placed into one of these slots.

Eggs can be obtained in a variety of ways. Each of the listed methods has its own separate pool of obtainable Pokémon Eggs.
*Spinning a [[PokéStop]] or {{OBP|Gym|GO}} has a chance of awarding the player a 2 km, 5 km, or 10 km Egg.
* [[Gift]]s from {{OBP|Friends|GO}} have a chance of containing a 7 km.
*Weekly [[Adventure Sync]] rewards may include Eggs. The player can obtain a 5 km Egg for walking 25 km and a 10 km Egg for walking 50 km.
*Winning a [[Trainer Battle (GO)|battle]] against a {{tc|Team GO Rocket Leader}} will award a Strange Egg (12 km Egg).

While it is not possible to know what will hatch from an Egg beforehand, an Egg's properties are determined at the time it is obtained (not when it is hatched). The hatched Pokémon's [[power up]] level will match the player's [[Trainer level]] at the time its Egg was obtained, capped at level 20. Its origin location will be the location at which the player obtained Egg; for Eggs obtained from Gifts, it will be the location at which the Friend obtained the Gift. Pokémon that are hatched from Eggs are guaranteed at least 10 {{IV}}s (out of the maximum 15) in each stat. Region-exclusive Pokémon can only be hatched from Eggs obtained in its respective region; only during the 2018 and 2019 Ultra Bonus events, region-exclusive Pokémon (i.e. {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Kangaskhan}}, {{p|Mr. Mime}}, and {{p|Tauros}}) were obtainable worldwide from 7 km Eggs. Although the possible pool of Pokémon obtainable from Eggs is occasionally updated, these changes do not affect Eggs that players already have on hand, including Event Pokémon hatched after the event when it was obtained has ended.

Hatching Eggs is the only way to obtain most baby Pokémon, along with {{p|Salandit}}, {{p|Varoom}}, {{p|Charcadet}} and {{p|Larvesta}}.


Upon hatching an Egg, a player will receive a random amount of {{OBP|Stardust|GO}} and {{OBP|Candy|GO}} dependent on the Egg's distance. The number of Candy received directly corresponds to the amount of Stardust received.
* 2 to 7 km: <math>Candy = \left\lfloor {stardust \over 75} \right\rfloor</math>
*10 km: <math>Candy = \left\lfloor {stardust \over 100} \right\rfloor</math>
*12 km: <math>Candy = \left\lfloor {stardust \over 200} \right\rfloor</math>

===''Pokémon the Series''===
[[File:Breeding house Eggs.png|thumb|220px|left|Pokémon Eggs at a [[Pokémon Day Care|breeding house]] in ''[[AG150|May's Egg-Cellent Adventure]]'']]
[[File:Reverted Eggs anime.png|thumb|250px|Pokémon Eggs created by [[devolution]] in ''[[JN089|The Gates of Warp!]]'']]
{{aniseries|PTS}} was where Pokémon Eggs made their debut, with {{Ash}}'s find of an Egg in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' predating Pokémon Snap by nearly a year. The Egg was kept safe by {{an|Brock}}, but unlike later episodes, was not kept in its own case. Later Eggs have been shown to be kept in a [[Egg case|case]], which includes a {{i|Poké Ball}} for the baby to be put into upon hatching.

In earlier [[series]], Eggs are depicted with unique patterns that match the Pokémon contained within. This was changed in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', with Eggs instead being closer to the generic Egg design from the games; however, the spots on Eggs do vary in color based on the Pokémon, rather than only being green like in the games.

Aside from Togepi's Egg, which hatched similarly to a real egg, later Eggs are shown to flash white before hatching, then to glow white and transform into the Pokémon they contain, similarly to [[evolution]]. By ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'', hatching Eggs would be depicted as glowing and the eggshell bursting open to reveal the young Pokémon, much like in the games.

In ''[[EP263|Address Unown]]'', it was revealed that Pokémon are able to see the world outside of their Eggs. Additionally, Pokémon have been seen interacting from inside their Eggs, with {{p|Manaphy}} using {{m|Heart Swap}} on the [[Team Rocket trio]] before it even hatched (it is also implied that it was the one who gave {{an|May}} the dream involving [[Samiya|the Sea Temple]]).

In ''[[HS15|Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl!]]'', a fossilized {{p|Aerodactyl}} Egg is shown and revealed to have been used in conjunction with an [[Old Amber]] to resurrect a living Aerodactyl.

In ''[[JN089|The Gates of Warp!]]'' and ''[[JN090|Showdown at the Gates of Warp!]]'', {{OBP|Dialga|recurring}} and {{OBP|Palkia|recurring}}'s battling, due to them both being instigated by [[Alternate World Team Rocket]], had caused many Pokémon to [[Devolution|devolve]] and turn back into Eggs. Once the crisis was resolved, Dialga and Palkia repaired the distortions and freed the Pokémon from their Egg forms, reversing the devolutions.

===Pokémon hatched from Eggs that were not seen===
[[File:Eevee hatches.png|right|thumb|[[May's Eevee]] hatching from its Egg in ''[[AG157|Time Warp Heals All Wounds]]'']]
;[[Misty's Azurill]]
:It was the offspring of [[Tracey's Marill]], and then {{Tracey}} gave it to {{an|Misty}} as mentioned in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team!]]'', when Azurill itself first appeared.
;[[Iris's Axew]]
:Axew was given to Iris prior to the start of the series a few days after he had hatched.

===Other Pokémon Eggs===
[[File:Mudkip hatching.png|200px|thumb|A {{p|Mudkip}} hatching from its Egg in ''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]'']]
*''[[EP228|Extreme Pokémon!]]'': An entire breeding house full of Eggs appeared in this episode. Several "dummy" Eggs were used in the race. A large number of the Egg varieties seen, both real and dummy, are unique to this episode. Some of the designs seen are similar to {{p|Beedrill}}, {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Drowzee}}, {{p|Starmie}}, and {{p|Heracross}}, although Beedrill and Starmie usually cannot hatch from Eggs directly.
*''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]'': This episode showed a home where baby {{p|Mudkip}} were bred and even showed one hatching and spraying May in the face. These Eggs were small and blue with orange spots.
*''[[AG150|May's Egg-Cellent Adventure]]'': An entire breeding house full of Eggs appeared in this episode. Primarily, it featured an Egg of a {{p|Vulpix}} which was about to hatch, which was two shades of red with a design of curls separating the top from the bottom, reflecting the design of Vulpix's tails. Many other Eggs appeared in the breeding house. Based on the design, some of the other Eggs were identified as {{p|Aipom}}, {{p|Bellsprout}}, {{p|Chinchou}}, {{p|Cleffa}}, {{p|Elekid}}, {{p|Igglybuff}}, {{p|Ledyba}}, {{p|Magby}}, {{p|Pichu}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, {{p|Sentret}}, {{p|Smoochum}}, {{p|Spinarak}}, {{p|Swinub}}, {{p|Teddiursa}}, and {{p|Wooper}}. A few of the designs were more difficult to distinguish than others.
*''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'': A [[Manaphy (M09)|Manaphy]] Egg was primary to the plot of this movie. During the movie, while everyone was trying to protect the Egg, the center began to glow. When {{an|May}} caught it after being tossed into the air, it began to hatch into a {{p|Manaphy}}. This Egg was translucent blue with a red, yolk-like sphere and a ring of yellow dots inside of it.
*''[[DP087|The Psyduck Stops Here!]]'': {{p|Psyduck}} Eggs were seen in this episode and were the reason why the Psyduck were blocking the road. These Eggs were yellow with patterns that looked like Psyduck's feet.
*''[[SM001|In Alola to New Adventure!]]'': [[Samson Oak]] received this Vulpix Egg from his cousin, {{an|Professor Oak}}. In ''[[SM008|Lillie's Egg-xhilarating Challenge!]]'', Samson offered Ash and his classmates the opportunity to raise either this Egg or a [[Snowy|white one]]. When the latter was chosen, Samson chose to raise the remaining Egg himself. In ''[[SM014|Getting to Know You!]]'', it hatched into a Vulpix. Unlike the previous Vulpix Egg, this Vulpix Egg was orange in color.
*''[[SM004|First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-Style!]]'': {{p|Pikipek}} Eggs were seen in this episode and were hatched alongside [[Ash's Rowlet]] by a {{p|Toucannon}}.
* ''[[M23|Pokémon the Movie: Secrets of the Jungle]]'': {{p|Celebi}} is rumored to visit the jungle in times of peace and leave behind an egg from the future in its wake.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'' & ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''====
Eggs seen in these series feature a more standardized design, closely resembling the generic Egg designs from the [[core series]] games, albeit with the color of the spots depending on the Pokémon inside.

*''[[JN080|Trial on a Golden Scale!]]'': {{p|Larvesta}} Eggs were seen in this episode, being the target of a [[Nito|Pokémon poacher]]. They had red spots.
*''[[JN089|The Gates of Warp!]]'': Due to the influence of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, [[Alternate World Dawn]]'s {{p|Piplup}} reverted back into an Egg with dark blue spots. Multiple other reverted Eggs also appeared in the episode.
* ''[[JN090|Showdown at the Gates of Warp!]]'': Due to the influence of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, [[Alternate World Ash]]'s {{p|Infernape}} reverted back into an Egg with orange spots. Several other Egg spot colors were also seen with reverted Pokémon such as [[Alternate World Chloe]]'s {{p|Eevee}}–brown, [[Alternate World Team Rocket]]'s {{p|Croagunk}}, {{p|Glameow}}, {{p|Rhyhorn}}, and {{p|Stunky}}, and a Trainer's {{p|Buizel}} and {{p|Shieldon}}–orange and yellow spots, respectively. Alternate World Ash's {{p|Pichu}} and Alternate World Goh's {{p|Trapinch}}, {{p|Aerodactyl}}, {{p|Scorbunny}} reverted into Eggs very similar to their counterparts from the main world.
* ''[[HZ037|Fuecoco…Becomes a Crook?!]]'': {{p|Sandile}} Eggs were seen in this episode and were the reason why the Sandile, {{p|Krokorok}}, and {{p|Krookodile}} were disturbing the group of {{OBP|Archeologists|HZ037}}.

===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
In ''[[PS013|Sigh for Psyduck]]'', [[Mr. Fuji]]'s deceased {{p|Doduo}} is shown hatching from an Egg in a photograph. Notably, this was before the concept of Pokémon Eggs was introduced, and the Egg seen in the photograph was more similar to a real-life bird egg.

*{{TCG ID|Movie VS Pack|Manaphy's Egg|16}}: Used to hatch into [[Manaphy (TCG)#Sea's Manaphy|Sea's Manaphy]].

==Trivia==
*The color of a standard Pokémon Egg may be a reference to the standard {{smw|Yoshi Egg}}, as one of its early appearances was in ''{{smw|Yoshi (game)|Yoshi}}'', a game also developed by [[Game Freak]].
*The Eggs of {{p|Elekid}} and {{p|Magby}} are the only Eggs whose designs depict those of the Pokémon's {{p|Electabuzz|evolved}} {{p|Magmar|form}}, rather than the Pokémon it directly hatches into.
*{{OBP|Manaphy|M09}}, which is {{pkmn2|Mythical}}, is the only Pokémon which has been seen hatching from an Egg in the animated series that is unable to evolve.
*Even though Eggs are incapable of battling, they have [[base stats]] programmed into the game. Each stat is 10.
**Through [[Pomeg glitch|a glitch]] in {{game|Emerald}} and [[Generation IV]], Eggs can actually battle in-game.
*In {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, there was a minor bug when Pokémon hatched from an Egg in another game was traded to either game. When done, the "Egg" that appears after the location where the Egg hatched in the summary will change to "met" when traded to Ruby or Sapphire. This bug was fixed in {{game|Emerald}}.
**Also in Generations III, IV, and V, when an Egg is generated, it is given the OT, ID, secret ID, and game identifier of the game which created it. This can cause an Egg which is traded to hatch {{Shiny}} and then be normally colored, or hatch normally colored, and then be Shiny. This is due to the change in OT, ID, and secret ID happening after the hatching cutscene.
**This issue is also present if a Pokémon is traded between the main and remake games of the third and fourth generations: the game identifier is never changed, meaning that an Azurill Egg generated in Hoenn, but then traded to Kanto and hatched will, though identifying itself as having the Kanto player as its OT, still be marked as having been generated in Hoenn. When transferred via Pal Park to Generation IV, it will say that it is from Hoenn, rather than Kanto, as this is determined not by [[List of locations by index number in Generation III|index number]] of the location hatched, but by game identifier. In Generation IV, this occurs between Sinnoh and Johto games when Pokémon are transferred forward to Generation V. It cannot occur between Kanto/Hoenn and Johto/Sinnoh games, however, as Pokémon Eggs cannot be transferred via Pal Park.
**Both issues were resolved in [[Generation VI]], where an Egg uses its current owner's OT, ID, secret ID, and game identifier while hatching.
*The DVs of the Pokémon hatched from the Odd Egg will always be either 0/2/10/10/10 if Shiny or all 0 if non-Shiny, regardless of language version. These are the lowest possible values in Generation II for any Shiny or non-Shiny Pokémon, respectively.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20141231124858/http://upokecenter.dreamhosters.com/articles/pokemon-video-games/pokemon-crystal/pokemon-crystal-odd-egg/ Odd Egg - The Ultimate Pokémon Center (archive)]</ref>
*The Odd Egg always hatches with 125 experience points. This matches the base [[experience]] for the {{cat|Pokémon in the Medium Fast experience group|Medium Fast}} experience group (which includes {{p|Pichu}}, {{p|Tyrogue}}, {{p|Smoochum}}, {{p|Elekid}} and {{p|Magby}} in this instance), but exceeds the base experience for the {{cat|Pokémon in the Fast experience group|Fast}} experience group. This makes it possible for a {{p|Cleffa}} or {{p|Igglybuff}} hatched from the Odd Egg to start with more experience points than it would normally have.
**This, in turn, means hatching a Cleffa or Igglybuff from the Odd Egg is the only way to newly obtain a Pokémon that already has experience point progress towards its next level.
*Prior to [[Generation IV]], due to the fact that Pokémon hatched from Eggs at level 5, several [[wild Pokémon]] found in early [[route]]s had lower levels than newly-hatched Pokémon.

'''Latias''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ラティアス''' ''Latias'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Psychic}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation III]].

While it is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Latias can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Latias''' using the [[Latiasite]].

It is a member of the [[eon duo]] along with {{p|Latios}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Latias invisible anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Latias's invisibility powers]]
Latias is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a birdlike body stylized after a plane. Its long neck stretches forward from its squat body. It has no legs, usually floating instead. The rear half of its body is largely red and the upper half white, with jet-plane wings high on its rear and fins on the bottom near its tail. A blue triangle marks the center of its chest, while a red mask partially covers its face. Ear-like fins sit on top of its head and its eyes are yellow. It has short, three-fingered arms with a red covering on the outer side of the lower arms. Latias is a female-only species, with {{p|Latios}} being its male counterpart.

Latias ruffles its feathers and cries loudly when there is hostility toward it. Its glass-like, downy feathers can enfold its body and refract light, which allows it to become invisible or alter its appearance. It is highly intelligent and can understand human speech. It is capable of using telepathy to communicate with others. In the [[M05|fifth movie]], Latias had the ability "Sight Sharing", which allowed Latias and people around it to see exactly what Latios was seeing. It normally does not make contact with humans or other Pokémon and disappears when an enemy is nearby. It forms herds with several members and is usually found {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|near water}}. As seen in [[Pokémon Horizons: The Series|''Pokémon Horizons'']], like other [[Legendary Pokémon]], Latias can be found in the Pokémon paradise [[Laqua]]. Latias loves [[Latias Treat]]s made by [[Snacksworth]], who once encountered it in the past. Latias can be summoned by the [[Eon Flute]].

Latias is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Mist Ball}}.

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

As [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Latias, the red parts of its body change to purple. Horns grow from the side of its head and run along its jaw. It loses the wings on its back and similar but larger wings attach to its lower arms, normally held in a level position. Triangle shapes now mark the forward point of its wings instead of its chest.

Mega Latias is said to be one of the fastest Pokémon in existence. Mega Latias reach a speed of Mach 4 while outpacing a jet in flight. Due to being smaller than Mega Latios, Mega Latias is much more agile and can make very sharp turns<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20150202062726/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/the-eon-pokemon-appear Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire site | Mega Latias]</ref>.

In Pokémon Emerald, the roaming Pokémon is chosen in a sequence immediately after the credits where, after hearing a [[television]] report, the player is asked the color of the Pokémon in it. If red is selected, Latias roams Hoenn and Latios is found at the island. If blue is selected, Latias is found at the island and Latios roams Hoenn.

'''PAL''': ''Latias and Latios are Eon Pokémon. Both are Dragon- and Psychic-types. The red Latias is female, while the blue Latios is male.

==Trivia==
[[File:Latias Blaziken.jpg|thumb|200px|Pre-alpha sketch of the unused Pokémon]]
* Latias shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Latios}}. They are both known as the Eon Pokémon.
* A pre-alpha sketch depicts an [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs|unused Pokémon]] or alternative form of Latias with the traits of both a Latias and a {{p|Blaziken}}.
* Latias is the last [[Generation III]] Pokémon to appear in an {{pkmn|animated series}} episode, debuting in ''[[JN137|The Road Most Traveled!]]''.

===Origin===
Latias and Latios appear to be a cross between a {{wp|Jet aircraft|jet plane}} (due to their wing shape and speedy flight), a {{wp|dragon}}, a {{wp|griffin}}, and a bird. Like many birds, Latias is said to possess {{wp|down feathers}}. In particular, their lack of feet and continuous levitation might be inspired by the {{wp|common swift}}, a bird with tiny feet (its Latin name ''Apus'' means ''without feet'') that spends most of its life in the air. Similarly, they might be inspired by the {{wp|martlet}}, a mythical bird in English heraldry that never roosts and is usually depicted with tufts of feathers in place of feet. Their red and blue plumage might be based on parrots in the genus {{wp|Eos (bird)|Eos}}. They could also be based on {{wp|junglefowl}} due to their possible {{DL|List of unused Pokémon and character designs|Blaziken / Latias|shared origin}} with {{p|Blaziken}}.

Due to their classification as ''Eon'' Pokémon and their connection to the [[Soul Dew]], Latias and Latios might be inspired by the {{wp|Aeon (Gnosticism)|aeons in Gnosticism}}, which are said to be emanations of God. In {{wp|Valentinianism}}, these aeons form male/female pairs called syzygies. They may also be loosely based on the Chinese philosophical concept of {{wp|yin and yang}}, which are opposite but interconnected natural forces. Latias, being female and the more passive of the two, would represent yin. Their names and Latias's ability to refract light might also be a reference to {{wp|Eos}}, the Greek goddess of dawn.

====Name origin====
Latias may be a combination of ''lateō'' (Latin for ''I conceal'', ''I lie hidden'') and ''-as'' (Latin feminine suffix). It might also reference ''{{wp|Eos}}'' (the Greek goddess of dawn) or ''{{wp|Eos (bird)|Eos}}'' (a genus of parrots with red and blue plumage). It's possible that its name is derived from {{wp|Plato}}'s dialogue {{wp|Critias (dialogue)|Critias}}.

'''Latios''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ラティオス''' ''Latios'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Psychic}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation III]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Latios can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Latios''' using the [[Latiosite]].

It is a member of the [[eon duo]] along with {{p|Latias}}.

==Biology==
Latios is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a birdlike body stylized after a plane. Its body flows slowly into a thick neck, giving it a bulky appearance. It has no legs, usually floating instead. Most of its body is blue, with white areas near its arms and a white stripe on its back that extend up to its head. Jet-plane wings sit on top of its back, while two tall, jagged fins point behind it from its rear. A red triangle marks the center of its chest, while a blue mask partially covers its face. Long, ear-like fins extend from its jaws to over its head, and its eyes are red. It has three-fingered arms with a blue covering on the outer side of the lower arms. Latios is a male-only species, with {{p|Latias}} being its female counterpart.

Latios has a gentle nature and will avoid fighting whenever possible. It can fly faster than a jet by tucking in its arms. [[M05|In the fifth movie]], Latios had the ability "Sight Sharing", which allowed Latias and people around it to see exactly what Latios was seeing. [[Oakley]] also mentioned that it can shape-shift. It prefers compassionate Trainers, to whom it opens its heart. Latios uses telepathy to detect locations and the emotions of others and can understand human speech. It lives by the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|water's edge}}. As seen in [[Pokémon Horizons: The Series|''Pokémon Horizons'']], like other [[Legendary Pokémon]], Latios can be found in the Pokémon paradise [[Laqua]]. Latios loves [[Latios Treat]]s made by [[Snacksworth]], who once encountered and followed it to a secret spot in the past. Latios can be summoned by the [[Eon Flute]].

Latios is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Luster Purge}}.

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

As [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Latios, the blue parts of its body change to purple. Horns grow from the side of its head and run along its jaw. It loses the wings on its back and similar but larger wings attach to its lower arms, normally held in a level position. Triangle shapes now mark the forward point of its wings instead of its chest.

Mega Latios is said to be one of the fastest Pokémon in the world to exist. Due to Mega Evolving, Mega Latios can achieve even higher speed in flight. Mega Latios is both larger and faster than Mega Latias. It can reach a speed of Mach 4<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20150202062726/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/the-eon-pokemon-appear Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire site | Mega Latios]</ref>.

In Pokémon Emerald, the roaming Pokémon is chosen in a sequence immediately after the credits where, after hearing a [[television]] report, the player is asked the color of the Pokémon in it. If blue is selected Latios roams Hoenn and Latias is found at the island. If red is selected, Latios is found at the island and Latias roams Hoenn.

===Main series===
====Major appearances====
=====[[Latios (M05)]]=====
Latios debuted in ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias]]''. {{OBP|Annie|M05}} and [[Oakley]] captured Latios and used him to power the [[Defense Mechanism of Alto Mare]], along with the stolen [[Soul Dew]]. Latios ended up sacrificing himself to save [[Alto Mare]] from an enormous tidal wave.

=====Other=====
In ''[[PK16|Pikachu's Ocean Adventure]]'', a Latios and Latias used their powers to help {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{MTR}}, and the other Pokémon search for the legendary "{{p|Wailord}}'s Tear" that was said to be beneath the ocean.

Latios made his animated series debut in ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'', under the ownership of {{si|Tobias}}. He was used during Tobias's [[Full Battle]] against {{Ash}} in the semifinals of the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]. The Eon Pokémon defeated {{AP|Sceptile}} and {{AP|Swellow}}, but was defeated by {{AP|Pikachu}}, who was knocked out at the same time.

In ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', a Latios capable of [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] was summoned alongside Latias and a {{Shiny}} {{p|Rayquaza}} by {{an|Hoopa}} to protect it from the shadow {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Hoopa|Hoopa Unbound}}. The trio protected Hoopa from the shadow Hoopa and its reinforcements, [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Groudon}}, Primal {{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Giratina}}, and {{p|Kyurem}}, in [[Dahara City]]. Eventually, the battle ended after the shadow Hoopa was sealed in a [[Prison Bottle]], and Latios departed alongside Latias for their home.

A Latios appeared in ''[[JN145|Rocket Revengers!]]'', as part of {{an|Latias}}'s vision. In [[JN146|the next episode]], he was revealed to be pursued by a {{OBP|Pokémon hunter|JN146}}. With Latias's assistance, he was rescued by Ash and {{ashfr}}. This Latios has a very stubborn attitude that he still believes that he doesn't trust humans yet.

====Minor appearances====
In the opening sequence of ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', a Latios was soaring through Alto Mare alongside a Latias.

In the opening sequence of ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', a Latios was soaring across the sky alongside a Latias.

In ''[[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs (animated special)#Part 1|Pokémon Ranger: Guardians Signs (Part 1)]]'', the [[Pokémon Pinchers]] were pursuing a Latios.

A Latios that can Mega Evolve into Mega Latios appeared in the ending segment of ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]''.

A silhouetted Latios appeared in a fantasy in ''[[JN053|Healing the Healer!]]''.

A Latios appeared in [[HZ075]] during a flashback.

==Other appearances==
[[File:Latias and Latios SSBB.png|220px|thumb|Latias and Latios in Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
After Latios appears from its {{i|Poké Ball}}, he will fly off the stage. He and Latias will then alternately zoom onto the stage with {{m|Steel Wing}}, damaging any opponent that collides with them. He may also cause movement of items as well.

====Trophy information====
Latios appears with his counterpart Latias.

''"Eon Pokémon. There are only female Latias and only male Latios. If they sense the presence of a human or an enemy, they will generally use the light-bending trait of their down coats to make themselves invisible. They use telepathy to speak with companions. They travel in herds, but even so, are rarely seen. They're a combination of Dragon- and Psychic-types."''

===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
Latios returns as a Poké Ball Pokémon. He uses Steel Wing to quickly fly across the stage several times to damage targets.
[[File:Latias_Latios_3DS_trophy_SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Latias & Latios trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'']]
Latios once again shares his trophy with his female counterpart in both versions of the game.

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''Latias and Latios are Eon Pokémon. Both are Dragon/Psychic-type Pokémon. The red Latias is female, while the blue Latios is male. By folding in their arms, they can fly faster than fighter jets. They combine speed and teamwork when they cross paths to attack fighters with Steel Wing.''

'''PAL''': ''Latias and Latios are Eon Pokémon. Both are Dragon- and Psychic-types. The red Latias is female, while the blue Latios is male. Be folding their arms in, they become super aerodynamic and can fly faster than fighter jets. They combine speed and teamwork when they cross paths to attack fighters with Steel Wing.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Latios returns as a Poké Ball summon, retaining his behavior from past games. He also appears as a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}} alongside Latias.

==={{so|Eon Ticket}}===
Latios is featured alongside {{p|Latias}} and the Vocaloids Hatsune Miku and KAITO in the song [https://youtu.be/k7Y30h8S7Uw?si=V4rH8_OLUQ1mttMc Eon Ticket] (Japanese: '''むげんのチケット''' ''Mugen no Ticket''), composed by marasy8 for the Hatsune Miku VOLTAGE Project.

==Trivia==
* Latios shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Latias}}. They are both known as the Eon Pokémon.

===Origin===
Latios and Latias appear to be a cross between a {{wp|Jet aircraft|jet plane}} (due to their wing shape and speedy flight), a {{wp|dragon}}, a {{wp|griffin}}, and a bird. In particular, their lack of feet and continuous levitation might be inspired by the {{wp|common swift}}, a bird with tiny feet (its Latin name ''Apus'' means ''without feet'') that spends most of its life in the air. Similarly, they might be inspired by the {{wp|martlet}}, a mythical bird in English heraldry that never roosts and is usually depicted with tufts of feathers in place of feet. Their red and blue plumage might be based on parrots in the genus {{wp|Eos (bird)|Eos}}. They could also be based on {{wp|junglefowl}} due to their possible {{DL|List of unused Pokémon and character designs|Blaziken / Latias|shared origin}} with {{p|Blaziken}}.

Due to their classification as ''Eon'' Pokémon and their connection to the [[Soul Dew]], Latios and Latias might be inspired by the {{wp|Aeon (Gnosticism)|aeons in Gnosticism}}, which are said to be emanations of God. In {{wp|Valentinianism}}, these aeons form male/female pairs called syzygies. They may also be loosely based on the Chinese philosophical concept of {{wp|yin and yang}}, which are opposite but interconnected natural forces. Latios, being male and the more aggressive of the two, would represent yang. Their names and Latios's signature move {{m|Luster Purge}} might also be a reference to {{wp|Eos}}, the Greek goddess of dawn.

====Name origin====
Latios may be a combination of ''lateō'' (Latin for ''I conceal'', ''I lie hidden'') and ''-os'' (Latin masculine suffix). It might also reference ''{{wp|Eos}}'' (the Greek goddess of dawn) or ''{{wp|Eos (bird)|Eos}}'' (a genus of parrots with red and blue plumage). It's possible that its name is derived from {{wp|Plato}}'s dialogue {{wp|Timaeus (dialogue)|Timaios}}.

'''Quash''' (Japanese: '''さきおくり''' ''Postpone'') is a non-damaging {{type|Dark}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation V]]. It was [[TM60]] from Generation V to {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}.

==Effect==
===Generation V to VII===
The target of Quash will act last in that turn, ignoring [[priority]], provided it has not yet acted. The effect of Quash is ignored by [[After You (move)|After You]].

If multiple Pokémon are affected by Quash, they move in the order they were affected by Quash.

If powered up by a [[Darkinium Z]] into Z-Quash, the user's {{stat|Speed}} stat is raised by one stage.

===Generation VIII onwards===
If multiple Pokémon are affected by Quash, they now move fastest to slowest.

Due to a [[glitch]], in a [[Double Battle]] where the player who didn't initiate the challenge is down to their final Pokémon, that Pokémon's Quash originally failed when used against the opponent on their right, regardless of what move that Pokémon selected for the turn. With the release of the version 1.1 update to [[Sword and Shield]], this glitch was fixed and Quash can now correctly hit Pokémon in that position.

==In other games==
===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]===
Unlike the core series games, Quash is a status move which causes the target to {{DL|Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)|flinch}}. It is the only non-damaging move to do this.

'''After You''' (Japanese: '''おさきにどうぞ''' ''After You'') is a non-damaging {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation V]].

==Effect==
The target will move next on the current turn, ignoring [[priority]]. After You bypasses {{stat|accuracy}} checks to always hit, unless the target is in the [[semi-invulnerable turn]] of a move such as {{m|Dig}} or {{m|Fly}}. It fails if the target has already moved on the same turn. After You ignores the effects of {{m|Quash}}.

If powered up by a [[Normalium Z]] into Z-After You, the user's {{stat|Speed}} stat is raised by one stage.

===Generations V to VII===
After You fails if the order remains the same after using After You.

===Generation VIII onwards===
After You no longer fails if the turn order remains the same after using After You.

'''Teatime''' (Japanese: '''おちゃかい''' ''Tea Party'') is a non-damaging {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]]. It is the [[signature move]] of {{p|Polteageist}}.

==Effect==
Teatime causes all Pokémon on the field to eat their held [[Berry]]. This move bypasses {{OBP|substitute|doll}}s.

If a Pokémon has eaten its Berry, Teatime fails to work on that Pokémon. The Berry is eaten even if it would not have any effect, such as eating a [[Mago Berry]] at full health. If no Pokémon on the field has a held Berry, Teatime fails with the message "But nothing happened!". Teatime causes Pokémon to eat their Berries even in the presence of {{a|Unnerve}} or {{m|Magic Room}}. This move does not affect Pokémon under the effect of {{m|Max Guard}}.

Pokémon in the [[semi-invulnerable]] turn of a move are not affected by Teatime. If Teatime has its type changed by {{m|Electrify}} or {{m|Plasma Fists}}, Pokémon with {{a|Volt Absorb}}, {{a|Lightning Rod}} or {{a|Motor Drive}} will not use up their Berries but will instead gain the benefit of the Ability regardless of whether they are holding a Berry or not.

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

==Description==
{{movedesc|Normal}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev8|SwShLA}}|The user has teatime with all the Pokémon in the battle. Each Pokémon eats its held Berry.}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev8|BDSP}}|This move can't be used. It's recommended that this move is forgotten. Once forgotten, this move can't be remembered.}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev9|SV}}|The user has teatime with all the Pokémon currently in the battle. Each Pokémon eats its held Berry.}}

'''Switcheroo''' (Japanese: '''すりかえ''' ''Secret Switch'') is a non-damaging {{type|Dark}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

==Effect==
The user switches [[held item]]s with the target. If only one of them is holding an item, the item is moved to the other.

Switcheroo fails if:
* Neither Pokémon has a held item.
* The user is a [[wild Pokémon]].
* The target is behind a {{OBP|substitute|doll}}.
* The target has {{a|Sticky Hold}} (even if it has no held item).
* Either Pokémon is holding:
** [[Mail]]
** any [[Z-Crystal]]
** a [[Drive]], if either Pokémon is {{p|Genesect}}
** a [[Mega Stone]], if either Pokémon could use it to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]
** a [[colored orbs|colored orb]], if either Pokémon could use it to undergo [[Primal Reversion]]
** a [[Memory]], if either Pokémon is {{p|Silvally}}
** a [[Rusted Sword]], if either Pokémon is {{p|Zacian}}
** a [[Rusted Shield]], if either Pokémon is {{p|Zamazenta}}
** a [[Booster Energy]], if either Pokémon is a [[Paradox Pokémon]] (excluding {{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}})
** a [[Wellspring Mask]], [[Hearthflame Mask]], or [[Cornerstone Mask]], if either Pokémon is {{p|Ogerpon}}

In Link Battles, [[Battle facility|battle facilities]], [[Secret Base]]s, and the [[Trainer House]], items stolen will be returned at the end of the battle.

===Generation IV===
In these generations, Switcheroo fails if either Pokémon has {{a|Multitype}} or either Pokémon is holding a [[Griseous Orb]].

===Generation V onwards===
Switcheroo no longer switches a Trainer's Pokémon's items permanently; however, items switched in wild battles are permanently switched.

Switcheroo can now exchange a Griseous Orb, but still fails if either Pokémon holds a Griseous Orb and either Pokémon is {{p|Giratina}}. Switcheroo can now exchange items with a Pokémon that has {{a|Multitype}}, but still fails if either Pokémon holds a [[Plate]] and either Pokémon is {{p|Arceus}}.

If powered up by a [[Darkinium Z]] into Z-Switcheroo, the user's {{stat|Speed}} is raised two stages, then the move itself fails after obtaining the Z-Power since it is not possible to exchange a Z-Crystal.

Switcheroo will always fail when used in a [[Max Raid Battle]], regardless of the items or target. (It works as normal against [[Dynamax]] Pokémon in other battles.)

In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, due to a presumed [[glitch]] in accounting for the removal of colored orbs, Switcheroo would fail in versions 1.2.0 through 1.3.1 if it was used by or against {{p|Groudon}} or {{p|Kyogre}} and either the user or the target was not holding an item. This behavior was corrected in version 1.3.2.

Switcheroo swaps the user's and the target's held items. Prior to {{pkmn|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, this move will fail if at least one of the Pokémon is not holding an item. From Super Mystery Dungeon, the move will still succeed even if either the user or the target does not have an item.

'''Trick''' (Japanese: '''トリック''' ''Trick'') is a non-damaging {{type|Psychic}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation III]]. It was [[TR38]] in {{g|Sword and Shield}}, and is [[TM109]] in [[Generation IX]].

==Effect==
The user switches [[held item]]s with the target. If only one of them is holding an item, the item is moved to the other.

Trick fails if:
* Neither Pokémon has a held item.
* The user is a [[wild Pokémon]].
* The target is behind a {{OBP|substitute|doll}}.
* The target has {{a|Sticky Hold}} (even if it has no held item).
* It is used in the [[Trainer Tower]] or [[Trainer Hill]].
* Either Pokémon is holding:
** an [[Berry#e-Reader Berries|e-Reader Berry]]
** [[Mail]] (except in the Japanese version of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}})
** any [[Z-Crystal]]
** a [[Drive]], if either Pokémon is {{p|Genesect}}
** a [[Mega Stone]], if either Pokémon could use it to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]
** a [[colored orbs|colored orb]], if either Pokémon could use it to undergo [[Primal Reversion]]
** a [[Memory]], if either Pokémon is {{p|Silvally}}
** a [[Rusted Sword]], if either Pokémon is {{p|Zacian}}
** a [[Rusted Shield]], if either Pokémon is {{p|Zamazenta}}
** a [[Booster Energy]], if either Pokémon is a [[Paradox Pokémon]] (excluding {{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}})
** a [[Wellspring Mask]], [[Hearthflame Mask]], or [[Cornerstone Mask]], if either Pokémon is {{p|Ogerpon}}

Additionally, in some generations Trick can fail under additional circumstances.

In Link Battles, [[Battle facility|battle facilities]], [[Secret Base]]s, and the [[Trainer House]], items stolen will be returned at the end of the battle.

===Generations III and IV===
In Japanese {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, Trick can exchange [[Mail]], but doing so may cause {{DL|List of battle glitches in Generation III|Mail corruption}}. In international releases of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, as well as all releases of subsequent games, Trick will fail if either Pokémon is holding Mail.

In these generations, Trick fails if either Pokémon has {{a|Multitype}} or either Pokémon is holding a [[Griseous Orb]].

===Generation V onwards===
Trick no longer switches a Trainer's Pokémon's items permanently; however, items switched in wild battles are permanently switched.

Trick can now exchange the Griseous Orb, but still fails if either Pokémon holds the Griseous Orb and either Pokémon is {{p|Giratina}}. Trick can now exchange items with a Pokémon that has {{a|Multitype}}, but still fails if either Pokémon holds a [[Plate]] and either Pokémon is {{p|Arceus}}.

If powered up by a [[Psychium Z]] into Z-Trick, the user's {{stat|Speed}} is boosted by two stages, then the move itself fails after obtaining the Z-Power since it is not possible to exchange a Z-Crystal.

Trick will always fail when used in a [[Max Raid Battle]] or a [[Tera Raid Battle]], regardless of the items or target. (It works as normal against [[Dynamax]] Pokémon in other battles.)

In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, due to a presumed [[glitch]] in accounting for the removal of [[colored orbs]], Trick would fail in versions 1.2.0 through 1.3.1 if it was used by or against {{p|Groudon}} or {{p|Kyogre}} and either the user or the target was not holding an item. This behavior was corrected in version 1.3.2.

==In other games==
==={{g|Mystery Dungeon series}}===
Trick swaps the user's and the target's held items. Prior to {{pkmn|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, this move will fail if at least one of the Pokémon is not holding an item. From Super Mystery Dungeon, the move will still succeed even if either the user or the target does not have an item.

==={{g|UNITE}}===
In Pokémon UNITE, Trick is {{p|Hoopa}}'s first move. It is obtained by reaching level 4 and upgrading {{m|Confusion}} into it instead of {{m|Hyperspace Hole}}. The user creates a link between itself and an ally Pokémon using a ring, increasing both of their movement speeds and granting them each a shield for a short time. When the user uses Shadow Ball or performs a basic attack, the ring on the linked Pokémon also unleashes the same move or attack. The user can also use this move on itself, increasing user’s movement speed and granting itself a shield for a short time. Additionally, it increases the damage dealt by Shadow Ball. At level 10, this move also restores the linked ally Pokémon’s HP when it deals damage to opposing Pokémon. While in Unbound form, this move is replaced by {{m|Psybeam}}.

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation IV]], despite being able to learn this move via [[Move Tutor]], it will always fail when used by {{p|Arceus}} due to its Ability {{a|Multitype}}. In later generations, it can successfully use the move as long as neither Pokémon is holding a [[Plate]].

'''Recycle''' (Japanese: '''リサイクル''' ''Recycle'') is a non-damaging {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation III]]. It is [[TM67]] in [[Generation IV]] and [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]].

==Effect==
Recycle allows the user to recover a [[held item]] (such as a [[Berry]]) that has been previously consumed in battle.

Items that were transferred to another Pokémon (such as via {{m|Thief}}) are not consumed by that process, so cannot be recovered by Recycle simply due to being transferred. Once an item is recovered (including via other effects such as {{a|Harvest}} or {{a|Pickup}}), it is no longer treated as a consumed item, so it cannot be restored again unless it is consumed again.

Recycle cannot recover items that were {{m|Knock Off|knocked off}}. Recycle cannot restore a burst [[Air Balloon]] or an item destroyed by {{m|Incinerate}}.

===Generations III and IV===
Recycle allows the user to recover a held item that a Pokémon in its current position had previously consumed during the battle. Recycle fails if the user already has a held item.

Consumed items are tracked by position on the field. A Pokémon can recycle an item that was consumed by a different Pokémon, as long as that item was consumed while it was in the user's current position. Each position only tracks one consumed item at a time; if a Pokémon consumes an item, then another Pokémon is switched into that position and consumes another item, the original consumed item is no longer tracked—it cannot be restored, even if the other item is restored.

Items consumed by {{m|Fling}}, {{m|Natural Gift}}, {{m|Bug Bite}}, and {{m|Pluck}} can be recovered; they are considered to be consumed in the position of the Pokémon that was holding the item before the move was used.

Recycle cannot recover items that were knocked off by {{m|Knock Off}}. (In these generations, knocked-off items remain visible on the summary screen and are restored at the end of the battle.) If a Pokémon has a knocked off item and uses Recycle, it can successfully recover a consumed item (but not the knocked off item), but how this functions varies between generations.
* In Generation III, if a Pokémon with a knocked-off item uses Recycle, it recovers the consumed item and its knocked-off item is permanently lost (it will not be restored at the end of the battle). Its new item now functions as its held item. If its original held item was [[Mail]], this can cause [[List of battle glitches in Generation III#Mail corruption|corruption]].
* In Generation IV, if a Pokémon with a knocked-off item uses Recycle, it recovers the consumed item as its current held item, but it is still listed as holding its knocked-off item on its summary screen. At the end of the battle, its knocked-off item is restored (regardless of what its held item was at the end of the battle).
** If a Pokémon replaces its knocked-off item in this way, it can use that held item, but {{m|Trick}} and {{m|Switcheroo}} fail if used by or targeting that Pokémon, and its held item cannot be stolen by {{m|Thief}} or {{m|Covet}} (nor can it steal items by using those moves). Bug Bite, Pluck, and Fling all function normally with the recovered item, however.

===Generation V onwards===
Recycle allows the user to recover a held item that the user had previously consumed during the battle. Recycle fails if the user already has a held item.

Consumed items are tracked by the Pokémon that consumed them, and are not forgotten even if switched out. A Pokémon may only have one consumed item at a time; if a Pokémon consumes an item, then obtains another and consumes it, the original consumed item cannot be restored, even if the second item is restored and transferred to another Pokémon.

Recycle can no longer restore items lost via {{m|Bug Bite}} and {{m|Pluck}}. Recycle can restore the user's Berry if it was consumed via {{m|Teatime}}.

Recycle can now be stolen by {{m|Snatch}}.

If powered up by a [[Normalium Z]] into Z-Recycle, the user's {{stat|Speed}} stat rises by two stages, then the move itself will fail after obtaining the Z-Power since it won't be possible to restore its own Z-Crystal.

===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]===
In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Rescue Team]], [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|Adventure Squad]] series, Recycle turns a [[Used TM]] into the TM it contained. In the Explorers series, it cannot turn back Used TMs that originally contained Recycle.

From [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Gates to Infinity]] onwards, Recycle instead converts a {{DL|Seed|Plain Seed}} into a random [[Seed]] or an [[Oran Berry]]. However, they cannot be converted to {{DL|Seed|Joy Seed|Joy}}, {{DL|Seed|Life Seed|Life}}, or {{DL|Seed|Doom Seed}}s.

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation III]], the status screen erroneously states that the move has 100% accuracy, even though it targets the user (thus it ignores accuracy and evasion checks).

'''Natural Gift''' (Japanese: '''しぜんのめぐみ''' ''Nature's Blessing'') is a {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation IV]]. It was [[TM83]] in Generation IV.

==Effect==
===Generation IV===
Natural Gift inflicts damage and has no secondary effect. Natural Gift's power and type vary depending on the user's held [[Berry]]. Using Natural Gift consumes the held Berry, even if the move fails due to accuracy miss. The move will fail if the user is not holding a Berry, or if it cannot use its held Berry (due to {{a|Klutz}}, {{m|Magic Room}}, or {{m|Embargo}}).

If Natural Gift cannot be fully executed due to [[rain|heavy rain]] or [[harsh sunlight|extremely harsh sunlight]], the Berry is not consumed.

Natural Gift is affected by {{a|Normalize}}.

===Generation V to VII===
Natural Gift is unaffected by Normalize, {{a|Pixilate}}, {{a|Refrigerate}}, and {{a|Aerilate}}. However, it is affected by {{m|Ion Deluge}} (if the move would be Normal-type) and {{m|Electrify}}.

If a [[Red Card]] forces the user to leave the battlefield, the Berry is not consumed. If {{m|Powder}} prevents the move from being executed, the Berry is not consumed.

Consuming a berry via Natural Gift has nothing to do with {{a|Unnerve}}, {{a|Cheek Pouch}}, or {{m|Belch}}.

===Generation VIII onwards===
Natural Gift cannot be selected in a battle.

===Power===
The type and power of Natural Gift vary as follows.

Natural Gift deals damage. The move's type and power will change if it holds a Seed or a Berry, though unlike the core series games, it can be used without an item. The item will not be consumed.

====Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon====
In {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, holding a food item will increase the power of the move as well as changing its type. Oddly, the [[Oran Berry]] causes the move to become {{t|Fairy}} type, which differs from previous Mystery Dungeon games as well as the core series games.

==Trivia==
* For the [[Cram-o-matic]], every [[Berry]] uses the same type as the type the Natural Gift gets converted to with that Berry, and its value correlates to Natural Gift's [[power]] in [[Generation VII]]:
** 2 Cram-o-matic points: 80 power, except {{cat|damage-reducing Berries}} and {{cat|Berries that may cause confusion}}
** 4 Cram-o-matic points: 80 power, only {{cat|damage-reducing Berries}} and {{cat|Berries that may cause confusion}}
** 6 Cram-o-matic points: 90 power
** 10 Cram-o-matic points: 100 power

'''Fling''' (Japanese: '''なげつける''' ''Fling'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Dark}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It is:
* [[TM56]] from Generation IV to {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, and in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}.
* [[TM59]] in {{g|Sword and Shield}}.
* [[TM043]] in [[Generation IX]].

==Effect==
{{MoveResearch|The following items are missing, or the damage dealt is unknown: [[Max Honey]], [[Wishing Chip]] and [[TM]]s (Generation 4).}}
Fling inflicts damage; the power of the move is determined by the user's [[held item]].

Fling fails if the user has no held item, or if their held item is a [[TM]], an [[Apricorn]], a [[Gem]], any type of [[Poké Ball]], [[Mail]], a [[Z-Crystal]], an [[Ability Capsule]], an [[Ability Patch]], a [[Festival Ticket]], the [[Red Orb]], the [[Blue Orb]], the [[Rusted Sword]], or the [[Rusted Shield]]. Fling also fails if used by a {{p|Giratina}} holding the [[Griseous Orb]], an {{p|Arceus}} holding a [[plate]], a {{p|Genesect}} holding a [[drive]], a {{p|Silvally}} holding a [[memory]], a Pokémon holding a [[Mega Stone]] that allows it to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]], a Pokémon with the [[Ability]] {{a|Protosynthesis}} or {{a|Quark Drive}} holding [[Booster Energy]], or an {{p|Ogerpon}} holding the [[Cornerstone Mask]], the [[Wellspring Mask]], or the [[Hearthflame Mask]]. After using Fling, the item is consumed, even if the target was protected by a {{cat|protection moves|protection move}}.

The power of Fling based on the held item is detailed in the following table.

If the user holds a [[TR]], Fling's power is equal to the power of the move the TR contains, unless the move does not list a specific power (i.e. it is a [[status move]] or has {{cat|Moves that have variable power|variable power}} with no default power), in which case it has 10 power. Due to this, {{TR|71|Leaf Storm}} and {{TR|43|Overheat}} match the Iron Ball in producing the maximum possible Fling power of 130.

If the user's held item can boost the power of moves (such as the [[Black Glasses]] or [[Life Orb]]), the power of Fling is boosted by the held item accordingly (if applicable). Because the user is no longer holding the item after using the move, the Life Orb does not reduce the user's HP when it boosts the power of Fling.

If a Pokémon holding a Berry uses Fling, that Berry will activate for the target (even if its usual trigger condition is not satisfied). Additionally, some other items have special effects when a Pokémon holding them uses Fling:

{{m|Embargo}}, {{a|Klutz}} (from [[Generation V]] onward), and {{m|Magic Room}} all prevent the usage of Fling. In [[Generation IV]] only, if the target of Fling is under the effect of Embargo and the user was holding an item with a special effect, the item's effect will not activate.

Fling can also be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Contest Spectacular combination]], with the user gaining an extra three appeal points if {{m|Celebrate}}, {{m|Covet}}, {{m|Happy Hour}}, or {{m|Wish}} was used in the prior turn.

==In other games==
===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]===
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers]] series, Fling is a [[status move]] that sends the enemy in front flying across the room. If there is another enemy Pokémon in range, the target will collide, causing both Pokémon to take 10 HP damage. Despite being classified as a status move, it is only affected by {{m|Taunt}} in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]].

In [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], using Fling opens the inventory and allows the leader to choose an item to fling (excluding held items). It only works when a visible enemy is within a fan-shaped area up to 10 tiles in front. Like [[Gravelerock]]s, the item will be flung in an arc, but otherwise has the same effect as when thrown normally. Partner Pokémon can use this move to fling their held item. Though Fling is listed as a status move, it is unaffected by {{a|Prankster}}.

==Trivia==
* Fling is one of two moves with a 100% chance of causing [[flinch]]ing (if holding a [[King's Rock]] or [[Razor Fang]]), the other being {{m|Fake Out}}.
* Fling is the only {{type|Dark}} move able to cause {{status|paralysis}} (if holding a [[Light Ball]]), a {{status|burn}} (if holding a [[Flame Orb]]), or {{status|poison}}ing (if holding a [[Poison Barb]] or [[Toxic Orb]]).
* In the {{pkmn|animated series}}, Fling can also be used to throw the remains of attacks, such as when [[Bianca's Emboar]] flung the remains of [[Trip]]'s {{p|Conkeldurr}}'s {{m|Stone Edge}} at it. It can also be used to throw the opponent.

'''Me First''' (Japanese: '''さきどり''' ''Take in Advance'') is a non-damaging {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

==Effect==
===Generation IV to VI===
If the target has not made its move this turn, but has selected a damage-dealing move, Me First copies that move preemptively and increases the [[power]] by 50%. It bypasses {{stat|accuracy}} checks to always hit, unless the opponent is in the [[semi-invulnerable turn]] of a move such as {{m|Dig}} or {{m|Fly}}. Me First will fail if the target selected a non-damaging move, or if the target already executed its move this turn.

If the target is about to recharge from a move like {{m|Frenzy Plant}} this turn, Me First will copy the move. If a {{cat|Consecutively executed moves|consecutively executed move}} like {{m|Outrage}} is copied, it will force the user of Me First to use the move for several turns, but the 50% increase in power only applies to the first turn.

Unlike other moves, if the target of Me First is a vacant slot or a Pokémon that already fainted before the Me First user's turn, Me First will fail instead of being redirected to an adjacent non-fainted opponent.

In Generation V only, if a Pokémon holds a {{cat|Choice items|Choice item}} and uses Me First, it will not become locked into any move, and is free to select a different move on a later turn. In all other generations, it will become locked into Me First, rather than the move it copied (if any, and even if the Pokémon knows that move separately in one of its own move slots).

The [[Assault Vest]] does not prevent a Pokémon from selecting Me First, the only status move for which this is the case.

===Generation VII===
Now, when Pokémon holding a {{cat|Choice items|Choice item}} copy a {{cat|Consecutively executed moves|consecutively executed move}} or {{m|Bide}} with Me First, that move will fail after the first turn, because it is locked into Me First and attempting to use a different move.

If powered up by a [[Normalium Z]] into Z-Me First, the user's {{stat|Speed}} stat rises by two stages. Additionally, the copied move will become its corresponding [[Z-Move]].

===Generation VIII onwards===
Me First cannot be selected in a battle.

===Uncallable moves===
Me First will fail if the target chose a [[Z-Move]] or any of the following moves. {{cat|Moves that call other moves}} are considered to be the original [[status move]] (not the move it calls), so Me First will always fail if the target has selected one of those moves.

'''Mimic''' (Japanese: '''ものまね''' ''Mimic'') is a non-damaging {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It is [[TM31]] in Generation I.

In [[Generation II]], it was the [[signature move]] of {{p|Sudowoodo}}, but other Pokémon could still inherit it via {{pkmn|breeding}}.

==Effect==
{{MoveResearch|What moves that call other moves can mimic copy?}}

Mimic copies a [[move]] from the target. The user will retain the copied move in Mimic's place, until the user faints or is switched out, or the battle ends.

The user's [[summary]] remains unaffected by this, still displaying original moves.

===Generation I===
In battles against a [[non-player character]] or [[wild Pokémon]], Mimic allows the user to see the target's moveset and select one of its moves to copy. However, in link battles as well as the {{jpn|Pokémon Stadium|Japanese}} and [[Pokémon Stadium|English Pokémon Stadium]] games, Mimic does not display the target's moveset; it copies one of the target's moves at random.

Unlike in later generations, Mimic can copy all selectable moves, including the opponent's Mimic, {{m|Transform}}, and {{m|Metronome}}, as well as any move that the user already knows. However, Mimic can't copy {{m|Struggle}} because it is not a normally selectable move.

[[File:Mimic Horn Drill PP.png|thumb|left|Horn Drill copied by Mimic with current PP higher than maximum PP (9/5 PP)]]
In this generation only, the copied move will use Mimic's [[PP]] (therefore, Mimic itself loses PP whenever a move copied by Mimic is used). If a Pokémon uses Mimic as a result of {{m|Mirror Move}} or {{m|Metronome}}, then the copied move will use the PP of the move that called it. If the player uses any PP-healing items, they will heal up to Mimic's (or Mirror Move's, or Metronome's) maximum PP.

Due to an [[List of battle glitches in Generation I#Mimic PP glitch|oversight]] in this generation only, moves copied by Mimic display an incorrect maximum PP value. The maximum PP displayed is taken from the copied move, instead of displaying Mimic's maximum PP.

If a Pokémon uses Mimic which was acquired from {{m|Transform}} (or if a Pokémon uses Mimic as a result of Mirror Move or Metronome acquired from Transform), then the 5 PP that is given by Transform will be used for the copied move as well, instead of using the Pokémon's own PP.

Due to an [[List of battle glitches in Generation I#Mimic level up glitch|oversight]] in this generation only, if a Pokémon that used Mimic levels up in battle and learns a new [[move]], Mimic's effect is reverted. The move copied by Mimic is lost, and Mimic will be usable again.

If Mimic copies a [[bound|binding]] move, and if the target switches out when its PP is 0 and before its duration is over, {{DL|List of glitches in Generation I|Struggle bypassing|the current PP of the move will roll over to 63}} and full [[PP Up]]s will be applied to it. This increased PP value can be used normally (and, as usual, other moves copied by Mimic will also use this PP value), and the user will retain the full PP Ups indefinitely. However, if the move's PP is healed (for instance, by using a PP-healing item or a [[Pokémon Center]]), then it will return to its legitimate maximum value (with full PP Ups).

Mimic has an [[accuracy]] of 100.

===Generation II===
Mimic now copies the target's last used move. Using a move copied by Mimic does not deduct any PP from Mimic itself anymore.

A move copied by Mimic will have 5 [[PP]], even if a [[PP Up]] or [[PP Max]] is used on Mimic to increase its PP.

It now fails to copy the moves {{m|Sketch}}, {{m|Transform}}, {{m|Struggle}}, {{m|Metronome}}, or any move the user already knows.

===Generation III===
Mimic now bypasses {{stat|accuracy}} checks to always hit, unless the opponent is in the [[semi-invulnerable turn]] of a move such as {{m|Dig}} or {{m|Fly}}.

It fails to copy [[Shadow move]]s.

===Generation IV===
Mimic can now be used to copy {{m|Transform}}, which could cause [[Mimic glitch|a glitch]] in early copies of the Japanese {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. To trigger the glitch, a Pokémon must use Mimic to copy and use Transform, then faint. If the Mimic-using Pokémon's owner wins the battle, all moves gained from the use of Transform are retained after the battle.

It copies {{m|Me First}}, not the move called by Me First.

Mimic will fail to copy {{m|Chatter}}.

===Generation V onwards===
The mimicked move now has the max PP as opposed to 5. Mimic is no longer able to copy Transform. A {{p|Rayquaza}} that mimics {{m|Dragon Ascent}} will not trigger the requirement for [[Mega Evolution]].

Mimic will fail to copy [[Z-Move]]s and [[Max Move]]s.

If powered up by a [[Normalium Z]] into Z-Mimic, the user's {{stat|accuracy}} is raised by one stage.

==In other games==
===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]===
Mimic targets the enemy in front, copying the last move they used. Prior to {{pkmn|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, Mimic will immediately use the enemy's last used move against the enemy. From Super Mystery Dungeon onwards, Mimic instead copies the enemy's last used move for the duration of the dungeon floor. The copied move can then be used from the next turn.

Not all moves can be copied. In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Rescue Team]] series, Mimic cannot copy itself, {{m|Encore}}, {{m|Sketch}} or a [[:Category:Moves that call other moves|move that calls other moves]] (except {{m|Sleep Talk}} and {{m|Snatch}}). In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers]] series, the move can now copy {{m|Nature Power}} and {{m|Metronome}}, as well as {{m|Me First}}.

'''Encore''' (Japanese: '''アンコール''' ''Encore'') is a non-damaging {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation II]]. It was [[TR30]] in {{g|Sword and Shield}}, and is [[TM122]] in [[Generation IX]].

==Effect==
Encore temporarily prevents the target from using any move except the last used move.

In every generation, Encore fails if the last move the target used was {{m|Transform}}, {{m|Mimic}}, {{m|Sketch}}, {{m|Mirror Move}}, Encore itself, {{m|Struggle}}, or a move that has no [[PP]] left. It also fails if the foe has not used a move yet.

If the Pokémon affected by Encore runs out of [[PP]] for the affected move, the effects of Encore end immediately. If the move the Pokémon is locked into by Encore is currently blocked by {{m|Disable}}, {{m|Gravity}}, {{m|Heal Block}}, {{m|Imprison}}, {{m|Taunt}}, {{m|Throat Chop}}, or {{m|Torment}}, the Pokémon will be forced to use {{m|Struggle}}. In particular, a Pokémon under the effect of both Encore and Torment will be forced to use {{m|Struggle}} every two turns.

Encore can hit through a {{OBP|substitute|doll}}.

Encore cannot affect a Pokémon under the effect of {{a|Aroma Veil}}. Encore will fail if used against a Pokémon that has an active {{m|Shell Trap}} in waiting.

If a Pokémon is forced to use {{m|Beak Blast}} on a turn it chose another move, Beak Blast will fail.

Encore can be used successfully any turn after the opponent went to sleep using {{m|Rest}} as long as it doesn't use Sleep Talk or wake up; moreover, the duration of Encore also takes into account the turns that the target spends sleeping without doing anything. Encore also works if the opponent had used Rest while at maximum HP.

If the target has {{a|Truant}}, Encore will still work, forcing it to be locked into the last used move.

===Generation II===
Encore lasts for 2 to 6 turns.

Encore fails if the last move the target used was a {{cat|Moves that call other moves|move that calls other moves}} (i.e. {{m|Sleep Talk}} and {{m|Metronome}}).

If a Pokémon is affected by Encore before it can use its move that turn, it will be forced to use the move that Encore has locked it into.

In Pokémon Stadium 2, if {{m|Roar}} or {{m|Whirlwind}} are used and the Pokémon that was forcefully summoned uses Encore in the next turn, Encore fails; however if Roar or Whirlwind are used when there is only one opposing Pokémon and it uses Encore in the next turn, then Encore succeeds.

===Generation III===
Encore will no longer fail against {{cat|Moves that call other moves|moves that call other moves}}, aside from {{m|Mirror Move}}.

A Pokémon affected by Encore cannot select the targets of its moves. If the Pokémon chooses to use the move, if that move can target a foe, a random foe will be targeted.

If a Pokémon is affected by Encore before it uses its move that turn, and it is now locked into a move other than the one it selected, it will be forced to use the move that Encore has locked it into; even if the move it is forced to use has a different [[priority]] than the move it had selected, the Pokémon will still move with the priority of the move it had selected. If the move the Pokémon is forced to use is the same as it had selected, the move will execute on its designated target that turn; otherwise, if the move it is locked into is a move that can target a single opponent, it will target a random opponent. If a Pokémon is forced to use {{m|Focus Punch}} on a turn it chose another move, the charging message does not appear, but it will still lose its focus if it took damage from an attack that turn.

===Generation IV===
Encore now lasts for 3 to 7 turns in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} and 4 to 8 turns in {{v2|Platinum}} and {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, despite its description saying otherwise. This is likely because Encore starts counting on the turn it was used, which means Encore will have no effect for one turn if the target moves before it receives the encore.

If a Pokémon is forced to use {{m|Acupressure}} on a turn it chose another move, it will randomly target either itself or an ally when executed.

===Generations V and VI===
Encore now lasts exactly 3 turns. It can now be reflected by {{m|Magic Coat}}, but will then fail.

A Pokémon affected by Encore can now select the target of its moves.

If a Pokémon is forced to use {{m|Focus Punch}} on a turn it chose another move, the charging message does not appear and it can be executed regardless of whether the Pokémon took damage that turn. If a Pokémon is forced to use {{m|Acupressure}} on a turn it chose another move, it will always target the user, not an ally.

Encore can be used as a part of a [[Contest combination|Contest Spectacular combination]], causing certain moves ({{m|Counter}}, {{m|Destiny Bond}}, {{m|Grudge}}, {{m|King's Shield}}, {{m|Metal Burst}}, {{m|Mirror Coat}} and {{m|Spite}}) to give an extra three appeal points if any of them is used in the next turn.

===Generation VII onwards===
Encore once again fails if the target's last move was a {{cat|Moves that call other moves|move that calls other moves}}, and additionally fails if it was {{m|Dynamax Cannon}} or a [[Z-Move]]. A Pokémon affected by Encore can use a Z-Move even if it is locked into another move (including on the same turn it became affected by Encore).

If a Pokémon is forced to use a move at an increased [[priority]] due to selecting a priority move before being affected by an even faster Encore, Pokémon affected by {{m|Psychic Terrain}}, {{a|Queenly Majesty}}, {{a|Dazzling}}, or {{a|Armor Tail}} will block that move, even if the move that ends up being used does not normally have priority. Dark-type Pokémon will also block the move if the reason for the increased priority was {{a|Prankster}}, no matter if the replacement move is a status move or not.

If powered up by a [[Normalium Z]] into Z-Encore, the user's {{stat|Speed}} stat is raised by one stage.

Encore fails if it targets a [[Dynamax]] Pokémon. Dynamax Pokémon that are affected by Encore (due to being inflicted with it before Dynamaxing) can use moves regardless of Encore. If a Pokémon's Dynamax recently ended, and Encore is then used against it before it can make another move, it will be forced to use the base move that powered up into its most recent Max Move.

Shell Trap (move)

'''Shell Trap''' (Japanese: '''トラップシェル''' ''Trap Shell'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Fire}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation VII]]. It is the [[signature move]] of {{p|Turtonator}}.

==Effect==
Shell Trap is a decreased [[priority]] move. The user sets up a trap at the beginning of the turn, then if it gets hit by an opponent's [[physical move]] within the same turn, it will use Shell Trap immediately after that move. Otherwise, when the user's scheduled turn happens at -3 priority, Shell Trap will fail at that time. If the user is affected by {{m|Powder}}, Powder will trigger when the user of Shell Trap is hit by a physical attack.

{{m|Encore}} will fail if the target has an active Shell Trap in waiting.

Shell Trap will not be triggered from the Pokémon being hit by an ally's move, having its {{OBP|substitute|doll}} take a hit, being hit by a move that's receiving a bonus from {{a|Sheer Force}}, being hit after its own turn has already passed (such as by {{m|Dragon Tail}} or another move with priority lower than -3), or being hit by a move that causes it to faint.

Due to a [[glitch]], if a Pokémon's use of Shell Trap is preempted by {{m|Encore}} to lock it into another move instead, and the Pokémon is then hit by a physical attack on any turn before Encore ends, the Pokémon's next use of Shell Trap will skip the step of setting a trap, and the move will go off successfully at its normal priority regardless of whether it was hit in the current turn.

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

'''Comeuppance''' (Japanese: '''ほうふく''' ''Retaliation'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Dark}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation IX]].

==Effect==
Comeuppance returns 1.5 times the damage dealt by the foe's last attack. Unlike {{m|Counter}} or {{m|Mirror Coat}}, Comeuppance does not require specifically [[physical move|physical]] or [[special move|special]] damage sources and Comeuppance does not have decreased [[priority]]; if the user acts before it is hit by an opponent's damaging move, Comeuppance will fail. The move also fails if the user's {{OBP|substitute|doll}} is hit instead. In battles involving multiple Pokémon, Comeuppance will hit the last opponent that dealt damage to the user. Comeuppance cannot affect ally Pokémon. However, if the last Pokémon to hit the user faints before the user moves, the remaining enemy Pokémon will be hit instead, like with a regular single-target damaging move (using the damage taken from the move of the now-fainted Pokémon that had hit the user).

'''Metal Burst''' (Japanese: '''メタルバースト''' ''Metal Burst'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Steel}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

==Effect==
Metal Burst returns 1.5 times the damage dealt by the foe's last attack. Only the last damage taken will be counted, if the user is hit by a multi-hit move, only the damage from the final hit will be counted. Unlike {{m|Counter}} or {{m|Mirror Coat}}, Metal Burst does not require specifically [[physical move|physical]] or [[special move|special]] damage sources and Metal Burst does not have decreased [[priority]]; if the user acts before it is hit by an opponent's damaging move, Metal Burst will fail. The move also fails if the user's {{OBP|substitute|doll}} is hit instead. In battles involving multiple Pokémon, Metal Burst will hit the last opponent that dealt damage to the user, even if that opponent is not adjacent to the user. However, if the last Pokémon to hit the user faints before the user moves, the remaining enemy Pokémon will be hit instead, like with a regular single-target damaging move (using the damage taken from the move of the now-fainted Pokémon that had hit the user). Metal Burst cannot affect allied Pokémon.

Metal Burst can also be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Contest Spectacular combination]], with the user gaining an extra three appeal points if any of the moves {{m|Encore}}, {{m|Taunt}}, or {{m|Torment}} was used in the prior turn.

Metal Burst causes the user to give itself the {{DL|Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)|Metal Burst}} status condition for 8-11 turns, causing any adjacent attacks to be reflected back at adjacent enemies for half the damage (prior to [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Gates to Infinity]]). From [[Gates to Infinity]] onwards, the user will reflect 3/4 of the move's damage back at the attacker. The status now lasts 6 turns.

==Trivia==
* Metal Burst has the same description text as {{m|Comeuppance}}.
* {{p|Zamazenta}} in its '''Hero of Many Battles''' form is the only Pokémon to learn Metal Burst to not be a {{t|Steel}}-type, nor be associated with minerals such as rocks ({{p|Rhyhorn}}) or gems ({{p|Sableye}}). While its '''Crowned Shield''' form is a Steel-type, Zamazenta does not need to be in that form to use Metal Burst.

'''Copycat''' (Japanese: '''まねっこ''' ''Imitate'') is a non-damaging {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

==Effect==
{{MoveResearch|What effects do the Choice items have from Generation V on?}}
===Generation IV===
Copycat causes the user to use the last move that was used in the battle (even if the last move was by the user). If no move has been made, Copycat fails. If the copied move's target is not the user, an appropriate target is randomly chosen.

The last-used move is updated whenever any Pokémon attempts to use a move.
* If a move successfully executes (generally, if the text ''"<Pokémon> used <move>!"'' is shown), that move becomes the last-used move. This is regardless of the move's result — whether it hit or missed or its effect was successful or failed (such as a {{m|Light Screen}} that fails because the previous Light Screen has not expired).
** Some moves that require multiple turns to execute do not count as valid moves in all of their turns. If Copycat executes after a turn when a move was not considered valid, Copycat will fail.
*** {{cat|Moves with a charging turn|Charging moves}}: the initial turn does not count as a valid move.
*** {{cat|Moves that require recharging|Recharging moves}}: the [[recharge]] turn does not count as a valid move.
*** {{m|Bide}}: the final turn does not count as a valid move.
** If {{cat|Moves that call other moves|any move calls another}}, the calling move is counted as the last move used instead of the called move.
*** However, this only applies to the turn when the calling move was selected to be used. If a called move requires multiple turns to execute in full (such as {{m|Bide}}, {{m|Dig}}, or {{m|Thrash}}), it may validly become the last-used move in subsequent turns.
* If a Pokémon tries to use a move but is prevented by a [[status condition]] or effect (such as {{status|sleep}}, {{status|paralysis}}, or [[flinch|flinching]]), the last-used move becomes invalid and Copycat will fail if it executes next.

===Generations V and VI===
If any move successfully calls another, the called move now counts as the last move used instead of the calling move.

The last move used is now unaffected if a Pokémon tries to use a move but is prevented by a status condition or effect. In other words, the last-used move remains what it was before the Pokémon's turn.

{{cat|Moves with a charging turn|Charging moves}}, {{cat|Moves that require recharging|recharging moves}}, and {{m|Bide}} no longer have invalid turns that will cause Copycat to fail. Instead, charging moves and Bide can be copied on any turn, while recharging moves are ignored on their recharge turn (the last move used remains whatever it was before the recharge message appeared).

===Generation VII onwards===
If powered up by a [[Normalium Z]] into Z-Copycat, the user's {{stat|accuracy}} rises one stage. Additionally, if the move to be copied isn't a status move, then it will become its corresponding [[Z-Move]].

Copycat fails if the most recently used move is a Z-Move, regardless of whether Copycat was powered up into Z-Copycat or not.

If the most recently used move is a [[Max Move]], the user will copy the base move that was powered up. For example, if a Dynamax Pokémon used {{m|Max Guard}} by selecting a move slot that originally contained {{m|Trick Room}}, and the next Pokémon to move used Copycat, it would copy Trick Room, rather than copying Max Guard or failing entirely.

===Uncallable moves===
{{MoveResearch|Uncallable moves in Generation VIII; Sketch in BDSP}}
Copycat will fail if any of the following moves is the last move used:

'''Sketch''' (Japanese: '''スケッチ''' ''Sketch'') is a non-damaging {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation II]]. It is the [[signature move]] of {{p|Smeargle}}.

==Effect==
{{MoveResearch|Does the sketched move start with full PP in all generations?}}
Sketch allows the user to learn the target's last move permanently, replacing Sketch in the process.

It bypasses {{stat|accuracy}} checks to always hit, unless the target is in the [[semi-invulnerable turn]] of a move such as {{m|Dig}} or {{m|Fly}}. Sketch is not affected by {{m|Protect}}, {{m|Detect}}, or {{m|Spiky Shield}}. Sketch will fail if used against a target protected by {{m|Crafty Shield}}.

Although they can be sketched, {{m|Aura Wheel}}, {{m|Hyperspace Fury}}, and {{m|Dark Void}} (starting in Generation VII) cannot be used in battle. These moves can only be used by {{p|Morpeko}}, {{p|Hoopa}} Unbound, or {{p|Darkrai}} respectively, or by a Pokémon that has {{m|transform}}ed into them.

These moves cannot be sketched: {{m|Chatter}}, {{m|Mirror Move}}, {{m|Sleep Talk}}, {{m|Struggle}}, Sketch itself, [[Shadow move]]s, [[Z-Move]]s, and others depending on the generation.

===Generation II===
Sketch cannot be used to copy {{m|Transform}}, {{m|Metronome}}, or {{m|Mimic}}. Because moves that target the opposing Pokémon fail if there is no target on the field, {{m|Self-Destruct|Selfdestruct}} and {{m|Explosion}} also cannot be sketched.

Sketch will fail if:
* The move tries to copy a move the user already knows.
* The battle does not allow [[Experience|experience points]] to be earned (such as link battles or [[battle facility]] battles).
* The target is transformed.

If used by a transformed Pokémon, Sketch will allow the Pokémon to permanently learn the sketched move; this is known as the [[Sketch glitch]].

===Generation III===
Sketch can now copy {{m|Self-Destruct|Selfdestruct}} and {{m|Explosion}} if a Pokémon with the {{a|Damp}} [[Ability]] is on the field.

In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} only, Sketch can copy a move a Pokémon attempted to use, but failed to due to {{status|sleep}}. This allows the moves {{m|Metronome}}, {{m|Mimic}}, and {{m|Transform}} to be copied (which otherwise cannot be)—this means that in the Generation III games, these moves can only be copied by Sketch in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire.

If the battle does not allow [[Experience|experience points]] to be earned (such as link battles or [[Battle Tower]] battles), any moveset changes caused by Sketch will be reverted at the end of the battle.

Sketch will fail if:
* Used by a transformed Pokémon.
* A Pokémon somehow uses it without having Sketch in its current moveset.

===Generation IV to VII===
Sketch can now be used to copy {{m|Metronome}}, {{m|Mimic}}, and {{m|Transform}} like any other move (without the need for the move to fail due to sleep).

If powered up by a [[Normalium Z]] into Z-Sketch, the user's {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Defense}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, {{stat|Special Defense}}, and {{stat|Speed}} are raised by one stage each.

===Generation VIII===
====Pokémon Sword and Shield====
Sketch cannot be selected in a battle.

===Generation IX===

In Versions 1.0 to 2.0.2 of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Sketch could not be selected in a battle.

Starting with Version 3.0.0, Sketch is once again usable. Sketch can no longer copy {{m|Dark Void}} or {{m|Hyperspace Fury}}, nor can it copy the newly introduced moves {{m|Revival Blessing}}, {{m|Tera Starstorm}}, or the [[Starmobile]]s' signature moves. Despite being both inaccessible and unusable, {{m|Breakneck Blitz}} is also specified as a move that cannot be copied by Sketch.

==In other games==
===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]===
Sketch targets the Pokémon in front and will copy their last used move, replacing Sketch with it. Sketch does not copy the Ginseng boost.

Sketch will fail if the target's last move had since been forgotten, or if it is Sketch or {{m|Struggle}}. In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Rescue Team]] series, Sketch cannot copy [[:Category:Moves that call other moves|moves that call other moves]] (except {{m|Sleep Talk}}, {{m|Snatch}}, and {{m|Mirror Move}}); although Sketch can technically copy itself if bounced back by {{m|Mirror Move}}. From [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], the move can now sketch moves that call other moves.

Sketch cannot be used in a {{OBP|Pokémon Tower|Mystery Dungeon}} in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|Adventure Squad]] series. In [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], Sketch will always fail when used against [[Gigantic Pokémon]], since they use completely different versions of the same move.

==Trivia==
* Sketch is the first [[Generation II]] move in [[List of moves|index number]] order.
* Sketch holds the record for being learned the most times via [[level]]ing up by a single Pokémon, being learned ten times by Smeargle. It is also the only move that can be learned more than four times via leveling up.
* Sketch is one of two moves (excluding {{m|Struggle}}), whose base PP is not a multiple of 5, the other being {{m|Revival Blessing}}.

'''Sudowoodo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ウソッキー''' ''Usokkie'') is a {{type|Rock}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

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

In [[Generation II]], its [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|remakes]], and {{game|Emerald}}, wild Sudowoodo can be found blocking the road in inconvenient locations in [[Johto]] and [[Hoenn]]. In order to engage it in battle, a {{pkmn|Trainer}} must first squirt it with water from either a [[Squirt Bottle|SquirtBottle]] or [[Wailmer Pail]].

==Biology==
Sudowoodo is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that has a brown, log-shaped body with yellow spots. It has short legs with toeless feet, and thin forelegs with three green spheres at the ends of its fingers. It has a forked "branch" on top of its head, which is shorter on the female than on the male. Despite its appearance, Sudowoodo's composition is closer to a rock than a plant. Originally, it was incorrectly believed to be a {{type|Grass}}.

Sudowoodo disguises itself as a tree and stands along paths to avoid being attacked. Sudowoodo's camouflage fails in the winter, as its forelegs remain green, unlike real trees. Sudowoodo is very weak to water and hates it, so whenever it starts to rain, it will break their disguise and flee to the nearest source of shelter. Because it holds its position for so long, its arms have become supple yet strong. It is popular with the elderly, with available magazines and fans devoted to its arm angle and length. Sudowoodo can be found living {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|in forests}}, sometimes [[Kalos Route 20|sharing a habitat]] with {{p|Trevenant}}. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Sudowoodo is known to keep its tree mimicry even when sleeping.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> However, it will occasionally let of this stance and sleep instead on the ground.

In [[Generation II]], {{m|Mimic}} was its [[signature move]], but other Pokémon could still inherit it via {{pkmn|breeding}}.

=====[[Brock's Sudowoodo]]=====
{{an|Brock}}'s Bonsly [[Evolution|evolved]] into a Sudowoodo in ''[[DP014|Leave It To Brocko!]]''. Although he was needy and easily distressed as a Bonsly, Sudowoodo proved a strong and reliable partner.

=====Other=====
Sudowoodo debuted in ''[[EP162|Type Casting]]''. Two Pokémon researchers, [[Marie]] and [[Pierre]], were arguing over the issue of whether Sudowoodo as a species is a {{t|Grass}}- or {{type|Rock}} Pokémon. As a result, they pursued one in order to prove their own points to each other.

In ''[[PK11|Camp Pikachu]]'', a Sudowoodo pretended to be part of a tree and hoarded grapes for itself rather than share them with the [[Pichu Brothers]].

In ''[[AG173|All That Glitters is Not Golden!]]'', [[Keenan]] owns a {{DL|List of alternately colored Pokémon in the animated series|Sudowoodo|golden Sudowoodo}}. He experimented on it with the hopes of giving it resistance against {{type|Water}} Pokémon, but he made it turn golden in color in the process. Sudowoodo, however, was unhappy with the change and was eventually reverted to its previous type and color scheme.

A Sudowoodo appeared in ''[[HZ010|Nemona and Brassius and…]]'', under the ownership of [[Brassius]]. It battled against [[Roy's Fuecoco]] and won after {{Tera}}stallizing into a Grass [[type]], despite its newly acquired type disadvantage. In ''[[HZ049|Dot and Nidothing]]'', Sudowoodo was used by Brassius for [[Roy]]'s [[Tera Training]] battle. This time, both parties Terastallized, and Fuecoco was to one to emerge victorious.

A Trainer's Sudowoodo appeared in ''[[SM099|We Know Where You're Going, Eevee!]]''.

Four Sudowoodo appeared in ''[[SM125|A Timeless Encounter!]]''. In [[SM126|the next episode]], [[Ash's Pikachu]] and {{AP|Lycanroc}} tackled one of them after they mistook it for their Trainer, due to it wearing [[Ash's hat]].

====Trophy information====
''"An imitation {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with an aversion to battle, Sudowoodo always poses as a tree in order to avoid being attacked.

A Sudowoodo can be found blocking {{rt|36|Johto}} in [[Johto]]."''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Sudowoodo appears as a {{sbw|Spirit}}.

==Trivia==
* Sudowoodo was created by [[Ken Sugimori]]. It was created to serve as an obstacle in the overworld.<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.jp/nom/0007/gfreak/page06.html</ref>
* In [[Generation II]], only one Sudowoodo appears (from being sprayed with water from a [[Squirt Bottle|SquirtBottle]]). Similarly, in [[Generation III]], only one Sudowoodo appears—this time as the result of a spray from the [[Wailmer Pail]]. However, in [[Generation IV]], the {{player}} can get multiple wild Sudowoodo by evolving {{p|Bonsly}} or by catching it in [[tall grass]].
* Sudowoodo's habit of disguising itself as a tree has been occasionally shown in the games.
** In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, Sudowoodo stand still in dungeons, in a similar manner to the Sudowoodo in [[Johto]].
** In {{g|X and Y}}, a Sudowoodo can be encountered in a [[Horde Encounter]] with four {{p|Trevenant}}.
** Starting in [[Generation VI]], Sudowoodo stand still when idle.
** [[Brassius]], the {{type|Grass}} [[Paldea]] [[Gym Leader]], uses a Sudowoodo with a Grass [[Terastal phenomenon|Tera Type]].

===Origin===
Sudowoodo seems to be based on a small {{wp|tree}} and {{wp|petrified wood}}, which is a plant that has become fossilized over time. This would explain its pure {{t|Rock}} type since all of the organic material in petrified wood is replaced with minerals. It may also be based on the concept of {{wp|mimicry}}, such as that exhibited by {{wp|Phasmatodea|stick insects}}, bugs that evolved to resemble twigs and leaves to evade predators – Sudowoodo's forked horn resembles an insect's antennae.

====Name origin====
Sudowoodo is a corruption of ''pseudo'' (false) and ''wood''.

Usokkie is derived from 嘘 ''uso'' (false) possibly in combination with 木 ''ki'' (''wood'' or ''tree''). It could also derive from 嘘つき ''usotsuki'' (liar).

This is referenced by [[Brassius]] referring to his Grass-type Terastallized Sudowoodo as '''Truleewoodo''' (Japanese: '''ウソから出た{{tt|実|まこと}}''' ''truth from lies'').

'''Sky Drop''' (Japanese: '''フリーフォール''' ''Free Fall'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Flying}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation V]]. It was [[TM58]] from Generation V to {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}.

==Effect==
===Generation V===
On the turn it is selected, Sky Drop brings the target to the air. While in the air, the target cannot act. While in the air, both the user and the target avoid any move targeted at them (except {{m|Gust}}, {{m|Thunder}}, {{m|Twister}}, {{m|Sky Uppercut}}, {{m|Hurricane}}, or {{m|Smack Down}}). The next turn, the target is thrown down and receives damage. Sky Drop does no damage to {{type|Flying}} Pokémon, but it will still pick them up (making them unable to move) on its first turn.

Sky Drop can target non-adjacent Pokémon in [[Triple Battle]]s. Sky Drop can target allies, but will fail when attempting to perform the move on them.

The Ability {{a|No Guard}} or a previously used {{m|Lock-On}} or {{m|Mind Reader}} can still allow moves to hit Pokémon that are in the air.

Sky Drop will fail if the target is behind a {{OBP|substitute|doll}}, or if used on a target that is already semi-invulnerable due to moves such as {{m|Fly}}, {{m|Bounce}}, or another Sky Drop.

Sky Drop cannot be used while {{m|Gravity}} is in effect. If Gravity is used during the semi-invulnerable turn of Sky Drop, the move will be cancelled. In [[Generation V]] only, due to [[Sky Drop glitch|a glitch]], if Gravity is used while two Pokémon are in the semi-invulnerable state of Sky Drop, Gravity will bring the user of Sky Drop down, but the target of Sky Drop will be stuck unable to move in the semi-invulnerable state, until the effect of Gravity ends, the user of Sky Drop switches out or is knocked out, or the Pokémon affected by Sky Drop is knocked out. This can only occur in [[Double Battle|Double]] and [[Triple Battle]]s.

If a Pokémon locked into a {{cat|Consecutively executed moves|consecutively executed move}} is brought up with Sky Drop, the Pokémon will discontinue using the move when freed; if the move {{status|confusion|confuses}} the user {{cat|Moves that confuse the user due to fatigue|due to fatigue}} upon completion, that will occur now.

{{m|Protect}} and {{m|Detect}} can guard against the initial use of the move, but the affected Pokémon cannot use any moves (including Protect) while in the air.

Sky Drop is unaffected by the [[Power Herb]], and will not consume it.

Sky Drop is not redirected by the effects of {{m|Follow Me}} or {{m|Rage Powder}}. If a Pokémon that is the center of attention (due to Follow Me or Rage Powder) is taken into the air by Sky Drop, it will no longer draw moves.

In a [[Rotation Battle]], if the target Pokémon is rotated out on the second turn of Sky Drop, the Pokémon will be dropped into their new rotated position and take no damage, while the rotated in Pokémon still gets to attack.

===Generations VI and VII===
Targets [[weight|weighing]] [[List of Pokémon by weight#440.9 lbs. to 451.3 lbs. (200.0 kg to 204.7 kg)|440.9 lbs. (200 kg)]] or more cannot be lifted by Sky Drop, causing the move to fail. Once the target has been lifted, its weight can no longer affect the success of that usage of Sky Drop—even if a lifted target becomes heavier than the threshold, it will not cause Sky Drop to fail.

If {{m|Gravity}} is used during the semi-invulnerable turn of Sky Drop, the move will be cancelled and both Pokémon will be brought down.

Both the user and the target can now be hit by {{m|Thousand Arrows}} during the semi-invulnerable turn of Sky Drop.

While a Pokémon currently being lifted by Sky Drop can freely select any of its moves at the start of the turn, it does not have the option to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] or [[Ultra Burst]] even if it otherwise would be able to.

The Abilities {{a|Wimp Out}} and {{a|Emergency Exit}} will not trigger if the Pokémon is brought below half HP during the semi-invulnerable turn of Sky Drop.

Sky Drop can also be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Contest Spectacular combination]] with the user gaining an extra three appeal points if any of the moves {{m|Entrainment}}, {{m|Hold Hands}} or {{m|Play Nice}} was used in the prior turn.

===Generation VIII onwards===
Sky Drop cannot be selected in a battle.

===Glitches===
{{main|Sky Drop glitch}}
In {{4v|Black|White|2}}, a glitch in [[Double Battle|Double]] and [[Triple Battle]]s can cause a Pokémon to become stuck in the semi-invulnerable state when Sky Drop is used. The glitch is activated when {{m|Gravity}} is used while two Pokémon are in the semi-invulnerable state after the use of Sky Drop. Gravity will bring the user of Sky Drop down while the target will be stuck in the semi-invulnerable state, unable to move until it is knocked out or hit with one of the moves listed above. Because of the glitch, Sky Drop was banned in Generation V Wi-Fi Random Matches starting November 10, 2010 and all subsequent official tournaments.

In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, a [[List of battle glitches in Generation VII#Spiky Shield Sky Drop glitch|glitch]] can cause a Pokémon to become stuck in an "undead" invulnerable state when Sky Drop is used. The glitch is activated when Sky Drop is used on a Pokémon using {{m|Spiky Shield}}. Spiky Shield will damage the Pokémon using Sky Drop, but the game does not recognize the move. This makes the attacking Pokémon reach 0 HP and completely skip its turn and all moves used against this glitched Pokémon fail.

==In other games==
===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]===
Sky Drop targets the enemy in front and brings the user and the enemy to the air (giving the user the {{DL|Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)|Sky Drop}} status and {{DL|Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)|suspended|suspending}} the enemy). While the user is in the air, the Pokémon cannot be hit by moves (except by moves such as Gust, Thunder, Twister and Sky Uppercut). Projectiles will also pass the user as if their tile was empty. The next turn, the enemy is thrown down and receives damage. Due to it being a two-turn move, this move cannot be linked.

==Other Languages titles==
I see you're adding the Danish titles for episodes of Pokemon Journeys, thanks for doing this but instead of listing the new titles at the bottom of the section, could you list them in the alphabetically fitting spot please as that is how we do them.--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]], Junior Admin Bulbapedia ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 18:48, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

:Thanks for letting me know. I saw that the template automatically alphabetizes it anyways so I wasn't sure if I needed to add it in order, but I'll do that from now on. [[User:Minibug|Minibug]] ([[User talk:Minibug|talk]]) 19:16, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

== Trainer lists ==

Good work adding some of the Kitakami Trainer lists. However, I feel it takes less space and is arguably easier to read if done like [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Paradise_Barrens&curid=295835&diff=3811085&oldid=3811067 this]. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 22:04, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
:That is true, and I did consider that approach for it, but I figured removing the dependence on hovertext for the benefit of mobile users outweighed the problems from having two tables for each set of Trainers. [[User:Minibug|Minibug]] ([[User talk:Minibug|talk]]) 22:15, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
::As a mobile user myself, I can understand that, but I still lean towards the more efficient solution. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 22:33, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
:::This same method is also used with B2W2's level and prize money info in regards to the prize money and level changes depending on the difficulty setting, aside from major boss battles where a Trainer's team also changes. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 22:41, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

== Spelling mistakes==
Thanks for correcting all the spelling mistakes regarding Pokémon names on various pages, I have to say I'm shocked at how many there are.--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]], Junior Admin Bulbapedia ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 19:01, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
:Unfortunately there are still a lot more to fix. I was also surprised with how many there have ended up being. [[User:Minibug|Minibug]] ([[User talk:Minibug|talk]]) 19:43, 13 October 2023 (UTC)

== Bot edits ==

I understand that your automated edits are important, but could it have been possible to leave the edits to BulbaBot or some other thing that could make the edits without flooding the recent edits history? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 11:30, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
:Apologies for the large amount of edits. I think BulbaBot uses the same software that I do for making automated edits, PyWikiBot, so the next time I need to make so many edits I could ask someone with access to BulbaBot to run my script. PyWikiBot has a <code>botflag</code> parameter that should hide the edit like with BulbaBot, but it doesn't seem like it works for me. [[User:Minibug|Minibug]] ([[User talk:Minibug|talk]]) 11:45, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

== Advice ==

Please use "×" instead of "x" when listing multiples of something. Also, many Paldea Trainer lists lack the {{template|Trainerdiv}} templates they should have. Good job adding the item lists, though. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 01:51, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
:Thank you for letting me know, I thought I was already using "×" but I guess I never updated it in my script like I thought I did. -[[User:Minibug|Minibug]] ([[User talk:Minibug|talk]]) 02:10, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

== Recent trivia ==
Just letting you know, when adding trivia about gaps between appearances, can you use earlier instead of ago please.--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]], Junior Admin Bulbapedia ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 18:49, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
:Thanks for letting me know. I was using that phrasing because I copied it from another page, so maybe some cleanup on the drought sections is in order. -[[User:Minibug|Minibug]] ([[User talk:Minibug|talk]]) 19:19, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

== Wait, Necrozma has the 255 Catch Rate in Indigo Disk still? ==

I legitimately thought it reverted back to 3. {{unsigned|PrincessVidel}}

:Necrozma's catch rate is 255 in Indigo Disk, I checked the data myself. Can I ask where you saw a source claiming it was changed to 3? -[[User:Minibug|Minibug]] ([[User talk:Minibug|talk]]) 16:26, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

==How to check EISBN==
Originally when VIZ began their digital releases years ago, on each page of their separate digital page which first becomes available on the day of release, I personally go to VIZ's website and copy their eISBN-13 for the digital ISBN codes one example is this link [https://www.viz.com/read/manga/pokemon-adventures-omega-ruby-and-alpha-sapphire-volume-1/product/7706/digital]. This is how all the EISBN codes were added in the first place for every VIZ digital release. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] ([[User talk:Tyler53841|talk]]) 23:44, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

== Re:Black & White subtitles from Shogakukan Asia ==

Yes. Shogakukan asia started off translating the manga on their own, including manga that is previously not translated such as [[Be the Best! Pokémon B+W]]. however, from pokemon adventure vol 46 onwards, all pokemon translation are licensed from viz media, thus all manga that are released by shogakukan asia are released later than viz media, and we no longer have any more original translation unlike chuang yi giving us many pokemon manga that are previously not translated. -[[User:Pokeant|Pokeant]] ([[User talk:Pokeant|talk]]) 11:24, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

== Template Data fields ==

Hey, just thought I'd mention, when [[Special:Diff/3936055|adding]] TemplateData, the type of a paramater should be "Line" for short text (that should not contain line breaks), and "String" if it can contain line breaks.[[mw:Help:TemplateData#string|[1]]] → [[User:SuperPikaPool13|Pika]][[User talk:SuperPikaPool13|Tepig]][[Special:Contribs/SuperPikaPool13|999]] 02:53, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

== Page categories ==

Hi there! Just a friendly reminder to make sure new pages you create include categories, such as the [[Pokémon Black and White Game Art Folio]] article you created last month. If you're unsure what category to add to a page, feel free to ask a staff member. Thanks! [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 17:47, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
:My bad, it completely slipped my mind at the time. [[User:Minibug|Minibug]] ([[User talk:Minibug|talk]]) 17:49, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
::No worries! It happens to the best of us :) [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 17:52, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

== Encounter rates for Sinnoh route 210 ==

The edit for the encounter rates was at least partially wrong, swablu can be found in all times of day(just tested it in game to be sure).
I assume it was just a typo on your end? I undid the edit for now, feel free to double check the numbers and resubmit.

hi, i'm not sure if this is proper form, but i've noticed you've been editing a lot of item pages to make their most recent description listed as their description in all future games, including games where they don't appear at all. to me, this seems misleading and inappropriate. i doubt that the [[Contest Costume]], for example, is anywhere in the code of SV, but seeing a description listed for it in those games suggests it is. your edits to Z-Crystals in particular suggest that they got new descriptions in scarlet and violet. i haven't looked at the internals of these games, so i may be wrong about all of this, but i'd like to know the reason behind these edits. [[User:Lilycove|lilycove]] 00:31, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
:Almost every item and its description will get carried over between games/generations. For whatever reason, these item descriptions will occasionally be updated even if the item itself appears nowhere in the game. In fact, sometimes even item *names* get changed even when the item isn't obtainable, like how Scarlet and Violet changed the name of the Rainbow Wing into [[Rainbow Feather]] even though its been inaccessible since Generation IV.

== Quest Ingredient formatting ==

Hi! So I noticed the edit done on [[Balm Mushroom]] and I'm of the conflicted sort regarding it. I included the three adjectives and one noun because those are the key words the cooking feature uses and so the description is demonstrating the game's rules. The format is a little silly, because it's based on [[Bluk Berry]], "a blue ingredient that is soft, small, and sweet," and I figured that its best to lean into the madness and phrase it consistently even if "sweet" and "mushroom" do not have the same part of speech. (In hindsight, maybe trying to squeeze "sweet" into a noun format works better than pretending three different nouns are adjectives.)

Similarly, calling out the color a second time was also a means of demonstrating what to pay attention to, in the "oh, if grey ingredients are common here, then it is also where to go to find [[Fossil]]s." (That and it matches how the information is being displayed in the game, as a color wheel representing unseen percentages.) [[User:Salmancer|Salmancer]] ([[User talk:Salmancer|talk]]) 23:18, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
:Thank you for clarifying, I'm not very familiar with Quest and your wording with using "mushroom" as an adjective confused me a bit. I also did not realize these characteristics weren't just flavor text. Do you think we could change the wording to something like "This ingredient can be used in any recipe that requires ingredients that are soft, precious, gray, or mushrooms"? [[User:Minibug|Minibug]] ([[User talk:Minibug|talk]]) 23:40, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
::I don't think so. Quest {{OBP|Cooking|Quest}} follows strange rules. The game goes down the list of recipes and picks the first one that matches the full set of ingredients used. This means that later recipes start to get more and more specific about allowed ingredient combinations in ways the suggested sentence can't quite quantify. I'd need to think about it. Maybe, "When Cooking, this ingredient has the following properties: soft, precious, gray, mushroom"? That leans perhaps too gamey.

== Duraludon ==

As I explained in my edit summary, it's wrong no matter whether you use "comprises" or "comprised of", they refer to separate individual parts of a whole like "the USA comprises 50 states", the states are individual entities. This is not the case with the writing on Duraldon's Pokédex entry. Duraldon's case is a "what material is it made of thing", so you cannot use "comprises" or "comprised of in this instance, you would need to used "made of", or "composed of" as it's about its chemical composition. So please undo your edit, because it's wrong even if you think "comprised of" is correct, thanks[[User:Huntress|Huntress]] ([[User talk:Huntress|talk]]) 19:03, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
:I'm waiting for a response because your edit was 100% wrong, because let me reiterate, comprise refers to separate individual parts of a whole, while this in this instance, it's a what material is it made of thing.[[User:Huntress|Huntress]] ([[User talk:Huntress|talk]]) 09:21, 10 August 2024 (UTC)
::Hi, I reverted your edit because many dictionaries consider "comprised of" and "composed of" to be synonyms, and most native speakers would not consider it an error as it has been in common use for many decades now. Of course, you are always encouraged to bring this up on the talk page and see if other people agree that the sic tag should be reinserted. [[User:Minibug|Minibug]] ([[User talk:Minibug|talk]]) 09:29, 10 August 2024 (UTC)
:::I just did some quick research, and what I noticed was that all of the sentences were to do with parts of a whole, this is not the case here where it's talking about its chemical composition. All the sites were saying things like "the whole comprises it's parts" but again not the case here as the material Duraldon is made of is not an individual part. Plus when it comes to the argument that "comprise" and "compose" are synonyms, this isn't true as they both have different subtle meanings, and as for the argument that many native speakers won't find it incorrect, but many would do that argument is moot. So why not have the "sic" tag? This would make it safer as then the people who do consider it incorrect won't cringe at the perceived error.[[User:Huntress|Huntress]] ([[User talk:Huntress|talk]]) 10:00, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

== Recent edit reversions ==

I saw you undid a couple of my edits, and I wanted to dispute them.

One is the sic tag on EP070. Sic is used to indicate that a text is being directly quoted from the original source instead of paraphrasing to fix grammatical errors. "Go west young Meowth" should have a comma after west, but the title card didn't have one. The tag is meant to acknowledge this so readers don't assume the error is on the wiki's part.

The second is on the nuzlocke page where you removed the trivia about TPC disapproving of nuzlockes. Although you quoted a claim from the article that they don't mind nuzlockes, this takes out the context of the statement. Kat and Krysta provided insight into a conversation not known to the public and explained how they almost lost their jobs over it - this causes backlash to TPC, who then respond with a correction. Given that Kat and Krysta had just left an NDA contract and talked about behind the scenes conversations that they weren't allowed to before, and that TPC only made a statement in response to backlash, Kat and Krysta are the more reliable source here. The trivia could be rewritten with a neutral stance to either statement if needed.

[[User:Pallukun|Pallukun]] ([[User talk:Pallukun|talk]]) 19:47, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
:Personally I think that we should only use the <nowiki>{{sic}}</nowiki> tag if the average native English speaker would recognize that there is a grammatical/spelling error. Now that you mention that there should be a comma, I can see it, but I genuinely did not see what mistake the <nowiki>{{sic}}</nowiki> tag was indicating. Feel free to bring this up in the Bulbapedia Discord or the episode's talk page to see what the consensus should be for whether the tag should be included, if people clearly see it as an error I would have no issue in adding it back.

:As for the Nuzlocke thing, the part of the article I quoted from Joe Merrick further claims that its a miscommunication and that TPCi's stance on Nuzlockes has been consistent for "a long time", which of course would predate whatever correction they put out, and PKMNcast made a tweet saying the same thing. I think the most you can say about this situation is that a misunderstanding occurred where whoever Kat and Krysta reported to was not familiar with what a Nuzlocke was and acted in a way not consistent with how they should have.

:I'm not exactly sure what you mean about rewriting the trivia to "a neutral stance to either statement", but I think it could be re-added with it presented as a standalone incident and not indicative of TPCi's policy towards Nuzlockes/challenge runs in general.

== Should the title have a sic tag? ==

"Go West Young Meowth" should have a comma after west, but the original title doesn't have one. I added a <nowiki>{{sic}}</nowiki> tag to denote that the title is being directly quoted from the source material, mistakes included - it tells the reader that the mistake is from the source, not our own typo. The tag was removed by another user as they didn't believe it was needed, but we decided to make a vote to see if other people do or don't want it. Should the title be given a tag or is it not necessary?

History of Poké Balls

2024-12-06T23:38:08Z

Pallukun: /* Poké Ball history */ italics for game names and rowan anecdote

The development of [[Poké Ball]]s in the [[Pokémon world]] has gone through a number of stages. This can be shown through certain Pokémon titles such as [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], where the item was recently created; and through multiple games where companies and factories are shown developing new Poké Ball types. The [[Pokémon animation|animated series]] has also displayed numerous ancient and historical variants of the Poké Ball.

==In the core series games==
===Poké Ball history===
[[File:Legends Arceus Poké Ball.png|thumb|200px|A Hisuian Poké Ball]]
In the past, Poké Balls were originally crafted by hand by carving out [[Apricorn]] fruit, and people such as [[Kurt]] of [[Azalea Town]] still make Poké Balls using these older methods. [[Raifort]]'s classroom at the [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}} or [[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}} in [[Mesagoza]] teaches about these older Poké Balls.

In ''{{g|Legends: Arceus}}'', a game taking place in [[Sinnoh]]'s past as [[Hisui]], [[Professor Laventon]] mentions that Poké Balls are a recent invention.<ref>[[Professor Laventon/Quotes|Professor Laventon]], ''{{g|Legends: Arceus}}'': "''And that's where Poké Balls come in! Poké Balls are a recent invention, you see. Throw one of them at a Pokémon, and...''"</ref> He also makes the claim that {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} shrink down to fit inside a Poké Ball and that they may feel comfortable inside. When Hisui was first being settled, Poké Balls were made in a similar manner as they are in Johto, also using Apricorn fruit harvested from Hisui's own land. Unlike the fruit in Johto, these Apricorns are brown in color. The {{OBP|Poké Ball|Hisui|Hisuian Poké Balls}} were [[crafting|crafted]] from a combination of {{i|Apricorn|Brown Apricorns}}, [[Tumblestone]] and [[Wood]], though wood is not used in the game's crafting recipe. They emitted steam when {{pkmn2|caught|capturing a Pokémon}} and what appeared to be a firework was set off from their tops when Pokémon were caught. They relied on a Pokémon's natural ability to shrink down when scared or injured.{{fact}}

Professor Laventon, with the help of either {{ga|Akari}} or {{ga|Rei}}, had also developed the [[Origin Ball]], which was made out of [[Origin Ore]] and the left over pieces of the [[Red Chain]].

Additionally, [[Leif]] claims that people in [[Kanto]] were already able to tame Pokémon,<ref>Leif, [[Jubilife Village]]: "''You know, we had people back in Kanto who also were able to tame Pokémon. They knew what they were doing in battles, too.''" (''{{g|Legends: Arceus}}'')</ref> suggesting that some sort of catching device was made before the [[Galaxy Team]] had come to Hisui.

In older times, the invention of the Poké Ball was seen as potentially problematic and as a symbol of containment and restriction towards the Pokémon held within them. The [[Diamond Clan|Diamond]] and [[Pearl Clan]]s had a distaste for this invention since they believed it would harm their relationship with their Pokémon who they viewed as brothers and sisters, whereas the Galaxy Team distrusted and feared Pokémon, opting to use Poké Balls for protection. All three groups would eventually warm up to the use of Poké Balls and Pokémon, perceiving the tool as a form of companionship.

In ''{{B2W2}}'', during the [[Memory Link]] event {{DL|Memory Link|A New Light}}, [[Drayden]] claims Poké Balls did not exist when he was a young boy.<ref>[[Drayden/Quotes|Drayden]], {{B2W2}}: "''When I was little, Poké Balls didn't exist yet.''"</ref> It is unknown if he means they had not been invented at all or just had not made their way to the [[Unova]] region. In ''{{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}'' and their [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|remakes]], [[Professor Rowan]] also claimed Poké Balls did not exist in his childhood,{{fact}} though this appears to have been retconned with ''Legends: Arceus'' showing they at least had Apricorn Poké Balls in the time of Rowan's ancestor, [[Kamado]].

[[File:SugimoriPokeBall.png|thumb|200px|A modern [[Poké Ball]]]]
The modern {{i|Poké Ball}} is created and manufactured by multiple companies and people. [[An Illustrated Book of POCKET MONSTERS]], [[Tamamushi University Pocket Book]], and a [[Pokémon Daisuki Club]] page state that modern Poké Balls were developed in 1925 from the research of [[Professor Westwood V|Professor Westwood]] of [[Celadon University]]. He got the idea when experimenting on a {{p|Primeape}}, which curled up into a ball and shrank down small enough to fit in the professor's glasses case. Currently, they are mass produced by the [[Silph Co.|Silph Company]] in Kanto, the [[Devon Corporation]] in [[Hoenn]], and the [[Poké Ball Factory]] in [[Kalos]]. Silph in particular is known to have created multiple Poké Ball prototypes, including the [[Master Ball]]. However, they can also be made by individuals using personal devices such as [[Hyde]]'s [[Cram-o-matic]], which was inspired by Kurt's ability to craft them with Apricorns. [[Faba]] of the [[Aether Foundation]] had recently created the [[Beast Ball]], a special type of Poké Ball used to contain [[Ultra Beast]]s and he also mentions that the downstairs labs of [[Aether Paradise]] is where they develop new Poké Balls for "the sake of Pokémon conservation."

The Cram-o-matic can create any Poké Ball at the time of ''{{g|Sword and Shield}}'' with exception of the [[Master Ball|Master]], [[Beast Ball|Beast]], [[Dream Ball|Dream]], [[Park Ball|Park]], and [[Cherish Ball]]s. The [[Item Printer]] found in the [[Blueberry Academy]] [[League Club Room]] is also able to produce multiple types of Poké Balls, including most of those that the Cram-o-matic could not. The Item Printer requires materials dropped by Pokémon instead of Apricorns.

According to [[Cyrus]]'s computer in ''Pokémon Diamond'', ''Pearl'', and ''Platinum'' as well as ''{{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}'', a modern Poké Ball would limit the power of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, hence [[Team Galactic]]'s decision to create another instance of the [[Red Chain]].

In ''{{g|Sun and Moon}}'', ''{{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}'', [[Lusamine]] uses a crate to contain [[Nebby]]. Concept art from the games' development explains that this cage has a Poké Ball-like construction to it.

During the events of [[The Indigo Disk]], [[Kieran]] captures {{ga|Terapagos}} in a Master Ball, knowing the ball's capture performance. Terapagos eventually destroys its Master Ball when it transforms into its {{DL|Terapagos (game)|Appearance|Stellar Form}} after Kieran attempts to withdraw it back. This is the only time a Master Ball has been seen breaking with any sort of failure on a [[wild Pokémon]] in the [[core series]].

In [[Alola]], special Poké Ball-like objects are used with the {{DL|Poké Ride|History|Ride Pager}}. In [[Galar]], Poké Balls are affected by the [[Wishing Star]]s fixed onto [[Professor Magnolia]]'s [[Dynamax Band]] as they are enlarged, subsequently causing a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Pokémon to [[Dynamax]] or [[Gigantamax]]; they can also be used to capture Dynamax or Gigantamax Pokémon when around {{cat|Power Spots}}. In [[Paldea]], Poké Balls can become {{Tera}}stallized, allowing a Trainer to capture wild Tera Pokémon in [[Tera Raid Battle]]s.

Aether Paradise contains a jamming signal for all empty Poké Balls that may be used against the wild Pokémon that the Aether Foundation is taking care of. This can be seen when the player battles against an unexpected {{p|Nihilego}} in Pokémon Sun and Moon. Despite this, Trainer-owned Pokémon may still come out of their Poké Balls and be used to participate in battle. The time machine found within the [[Zero Lab]] contains a similar jamming signal. When the [[Paradise Protection Protocol]] takes control, any Poké Ball not owned by [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}} or [[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}}, empty or not, will be locked.

===Pokémon storage history===
According to [[Professor Elm]] in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, before the invention of Poké Balls, people would [[Walking Pokémon|walk with their Pokémon]] instead. This can also be seen in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, where many members of the Diamond and Pearl Clans, including their [[warden]]s, do not use Hisuian Poké Balls, with the exception of [[Ingo]] as he had [[Time travel|traveled back in time]] to Hisui from a time where modern Poké Balls existed. During the events of Pokémon Legends: Arceus, a Pokémon wielder can hold up to six Pokémon at once if they were contained in Hisuian Poké Balls. A wielder without these devices, such as a warden or {{tc|Clan Leader}}, will instead just {{pkmn|battle|call upon their Pokémon}} whenever necessary. They can be seen with a maximum of three Pokémon, whereas the player can only have one.

When a person has caught more than six Pokémon, they will go to the [[pastures]] in [[Jubilife Village]], managed by Marie. These pastures are accessed by the player, Ingo, {{DL|Galaxy Team|Security Corps}} members found at [[base camp]]s, and [[Cyllene]]'s {{p|Abra}}. These Pokémon are not always found within their Poké Balls and can be seen within the pastures themselves.

The current mechanisms for Pokémon storage have similar restrictions, with Pokémon Trainers being able to carry up to six Poké Balls with Pokémon at a time.

The [[Pokémon Storage System]], invented by [[Bill]], is the modern equivalent to the pastures, where a Trainer can hold all their other Pokémon when they have more than six in their [[party]]. Prior to Pokémon Sun and Moon, a Pokémon caught while having a full party will automatically be sent to a Pokémon Box. Starting in Pokémon Sun and Moon, and with the exception of {{LGPE}} and Pokémon Legends: Arceus, there is an {{DL|Options|In the core series games|optional}} prompt for the player to specify whether they wish to move a caught Pokémon to their party or a Pokémon Box.

Originally, a [[PC]] was required to access the Pokémon Storage System, but the introduction of the [[Pokémon Box Link]] allows a Trainer to have access to their storage anywhere. As of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, there is no longer any reference to the Pokémon Storage System as such, and the [[Rotom Phone]] replaces Pokémon Box Link. [[Kanto]]{{sup/7|PE}}, Paldea, Kitakami, and Blueberry Academy lack PCs with Pokémon storage functionality.

In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, the player is able to carry around {{ga|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{ga|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}} as a seventh Pokémon. This is possibly due to its Poké Ball being registered to [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}} instead of the player. Initially, this Pokémon is only usable as a ride Pokémon, but in the post-game, it becomes able to be added to the player's main party, allowing it to be used in battles. Riding it again switches it back out of the usable party of six.

The Pokémon Storage System is managed by different people depending on the region: Bill in [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]], [[Celio]] in the [[Sevii Islands]], [[Lanette]] in [[Hoenn]], [[Bebe]] in [[Sinnoh]], [[Amanita]] in mainland [[Unova]], [[Cassius]] in [[Kalos]], and [[Molayne]] in [[Alola]]. [[Brigette]] and [[Grand Oak]] are also known to take on this role for the {{g|Box Ruby & Sapphire}}, {{g|Bank}}, and {{g|HOME}} software.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Masters EX===
In {{g|Masters EX}}, many Trainer-owned Pokémon are still kept in their Poké Balls with the exception of {{mas|Ash}}, who keeps his {{tp|Ash|Pikachu}} outside at all times, including in certain animations. [[Pasio]] has no [[wild Pokémon]], however, many Trainers still carry empty Poké Balls and may catch any Pokémon that may appear.

In the [[Together in an Unknown Land]] [[story event]] and {{mas|Akari}}'s sync pair story, some history on Pokémon in relation to Poké Balls is revealed. Many Pokémon from the past seem to be afraid of the modern Poké Balls found on Pasio,<ref>[[Akari (game)/Quotes|Akari]]: ''"True. But my Pokémon are scared of these new modern Poké Balls."'' ({{g|Masters EX}})</ref> causing improper synchronization with [[sync stone]]s. However, Akari's {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Samurott}} was caught on Pasio, allowing for the synchronization to work better with the modern Poké Ball, which words as a "Pasio Poké Ball."<ref>[[Akari (game)/Quotes|Akari]]: ''"That's it! I DO have a new Pokémon! I caught it in a Pasio Poké Ball!"'' ({{g|Masters EX}})</ref> Akari also describes the modern day Poké Balls as being "strange", "futuristic", and "new and modern".

In [[Travelers from a Distant Past]] story event, {{mas|Irida}} and {{mas|Adaman}} also learn about Poké Balls, previously disliking the idea of containing Pokémon in Poké Balls as they saw it as a form of restraining them. Learning that Poké Balls are a symbol of partnership and trust between Trainers and Pokémon, they put their {{p|Leafeon}} and {{p|Glaceon}} in modern-day Poké Balls.

Like in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Hisuian Poké Balls were made from scratch.

==In animation==
===Ancient history===
====Pokémopolis====
[[File:Pokémopolis Paintbrush uncovered.png|thumb|220px|The giant paintbrush unsheathed]]
When Dr. [[Eve]] was exploring the ruins of [[Pokémopolis]] during ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]'', she discovered a number of old artifacts. A handful of these relics contained ancient, [[giant Pokémon]], and so can be seen as forerunners to the contemporary Poké Ball. These objects were named by a stone tablet that had inscribed on it the legend of [[Pokémopolis]]. The "Unearthly Urn" and accompanying spoon contained a giant {{p|Alakazam}}, which, to activate, one had to insert the spoon into the Urn. It appeared that the Alakazam could do this autonomously from within the Urn using its psychic powers. The "Dark Device" contained a giant {{p|Gengar}}. It is unknown what initiated its release. Finally, the giant paintbrush/bell that was discovered contained a giant {{p|Jigglypuff}}, and was activated by the {{m|Sing|song}} of a regular-sized {{an|Jigglypuff}}.

====Pokélantis====
[[File:Pokélantis myth.png|thumb|300px|{{an|Brandon}} telling the erroneous myth that the King trapped {{p|Ho-Oh}} in the orb]]
A relic that looks very similar to a contemporary Poké Ball was discovered in the [[Pokélantis|tomb]] of the [[King of Pokélantis]]. It was revealed during the course of ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within!]]'' that it contained the spirit of the King, possibly indicating an alternate use for Poké Balls in ancient times. It was erroneously rumored that the orb contained a {{p|Ho-Oh}}, which would have made it much more similar to a modern Poké Ball.

===Recent history===
====Sir Aaron's staff====
Featured in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', the crystal in [[Sir Aaron]]'s staff was used "hundreds of years ago" to contain his apprentice {{mov|Lucario|Lucario|8}}. This can be seen as a forerunner to the contemporary Poké Ball. The ubiquitous Poké Ball design can be seen in other places in the beginning of the movie, but it is unknown what they relate to.

====Giant stone Poké Ball====
[[File:Ancient Claydol text.png|thumb|300px|The ancient text chronicling the White Sage's encounter with the giant {{p|Claydol}}]]
A giant stone Poké Ball was said in ''[[AG104|Claydol Big and Tall]]'' to have been created "in olden times" by the White Sage to contain a rampaging giant {{p|Claydol}} which had escaped from an identical stone Poké Ball. It was also said in this episode that this event was contemporaneous with the first creation of Claydol, which is cited as taking place around 20,000 years ago. However, this was read by [[Sigourney]] from an "ancient text" that he had a lot of trouble translating earlier in the episode.

====The Odd Keystone====
The [[Odd Keystone]] can be seen as a Poké Ball forerunner, in that it was used to capture {{p|Spiritomb|a Pokémon}} 500 years ago. In ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'' an {{OBP|old woman|DP056}} reveals that Spiritomb was defeated and imprisoned by an [[Aura|Aura Guardian]]. The method and reason for the confinement are currently unknown.

====The Captain's Poké Balls====
In ''[[EP095|A Shipful of Shivers]]'', it was revealed that the {{OBP|Captain|EP095}} kept his {{p|Haunter}} and {{p|Gastly}} inside contemporary looking Poké Balls, approximately 300 years before the present. The old [[Orange League]] [[Winner's Trophy]], which is also more than 300 years old, is featured in this episode as well, and appears to be based on a contemporary Poké Ball design.

Chronologically, these are the first Poké Balls that offer capture and control to the Trainer.

====Lokoko's Poké Ball====
[[File:Composite Lokoko Ball.png|thumb|300px|Aspects of Lokoko's Poké Ball]]
In ''[[EP232|Just Waiting On a Friend]]'', [[Lokoko]] was the alter-ego of an elderly {{p|Ninetales}} whose Poké Ball was contemporaneous with a diary that was at least 200 years old. While the style of this ball is quite different from the modern Poké Ball, there is a statue in the same 200+ year old mansion which depicts a modern looking Poké Ball.

This Poké Ball differs from its modern descendant in other ways as well. The button is on the top of the ball rather than on the side, as can be seen top left in the picture opposite. It also lacks the internal mirrors that modern Poké Balls have, as can be seen top right opposite. It is also extremely fragile, as can be seen bottom opposite, as it shattered after simply being dropped, which is an everyday occurrence for a modern Poké Ball, though this is perhaps a consequence of its age. This may also be due to it being modeled from a porcelain handicraft.

<gallery>

</gallery>

====Sam's Poké Ball====
A Poké Ball with a simple capture mechanism can be seen in [[Sam]]'s possession in ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]'', 40 years before the present day. It had a red twist top that needed to be turned to release the Pokémon inside. This Poké Ball fits the description provided by [[Kurt]] of the basic method of turning [[Apricorn]]s into Poké Balls by simply hollowing them out and adding a capture mechanism. Judging by the other older Poké Balls seen in the animated series, it is unlikely that this Ball is indicative of all Poké Balls 40 years ago. Therefore, this Poké Ball may have been homemade, cheaply made, hurriedly made, or come from some other source. An alternate hypothesis is that this is an early model of non-Apricorn Poké Ball and that this is the oldest, and therefore most primitive, fully mechanical Poké Ball yet shown.

Sam's Poké Ball has distinct similarities to Lokoko's Poké Ball with the button (or button equivalent in Sam's case) on top of the ball rather then opposite the hinge and it is used while gripping the button half rather then 'clasped' in the hand with the hinge in one's palm.

===Controlling items===
There are generally two aspects to a typical modern Poké Ball, capture and control. The majority of the historical devices above capture the Pokémon in question, but generally offer no control over it once it has been released again. The following historical items offer the opposite of this, granting control but not ownership to the holder.

====The Queen's mask and staff====
[[File:Tierra tablet.png|thumb|220px|[[Tierra]]'s tablet that tells the history of the Queen]]
In ''[[EP196|Control Freak!]]'', an ancient tablet discovered by [[Tierra]] revealed that thousands of years ago a Queen could control Pokémon within the boundaries of her own village using high frequency waves. As soon as the Pokémon went outside her village boundaries, the waves were disrupted, or she lost possession of the staff, the controlled Pokémon would turn against her again.

</gallery>

====Marcus's armor====
In ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' the antagonist [[Marcus]] controlled a {{p|Bronzong}} and a {{p|Heatran}} with special sets of armor. Much like the Queen's mask and staff, the controlled Pokémon would turn against the controller as soon as the effects were no longer being felt and the Pokémon were outside of their control.

<gallery>

====Blue and Red Orbs====
{{main|Colored orbs}}
In ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'', the [[Red Orb]] controls {{p|Kyogre}} and the [[Blue Orb]] controls {{p|Groudon}}. According to [[Lance]], ''"The Red Orb was created long ago by evil people to control ancient Pokémon and use them as weapons..."''

[[Archie]] invokes the Red Orb with the words "Convey our will to Kyogre, great Red Orb, and allow this great power to be released now".

A side effect of the use of the Orbs is possession. During these episodes, {{AP|Pikachu}} and [[Archie]] become possessed by the energy inside the orbs.

====Red Chain====

The Red Chain is used by [[Cyrus]] to take control over the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} so as not to reduce their power by capturing them in a Poké Ball.

Nuzlocke Challenge

2024-11-12T22:06:34Z

Pallukun: /* Trivia */ tpc

[[File:Basic Nuzlocke rules.png|thumb|300px|The two basic Nuzlocke rules.]]
The '''Nuzlocke Challenge''' is a set of rules intended to create a higher level of difficulty while playing the [[Pokémon games]]. A playthrough using these rules is often called "'''a Nuzlocke'''".

Nuzlockes are a popular way to play the games among {{pkmn|fandom|fans}}. Many feel that the rules encourage greater Pokémon variety, create value for ones the player would not normally choose, and promote closer bonds with the player's team. The rules are not an in-game function, but self-imposed on the player's part, and thus subject to variation.

The challenge originates from the [http://www.nuzlocke.com/ comic series] of the same name, which features a {{p|Nuzleaf}} resembling ''{{wp|Lost (2004 TV series)|Lost}}'' character {{wp|John Locke (Lost)|John Locke}} as a recurring gag character.

==History==
The basic rules were invented by Nick Franco, a Californian screenwriter and then-university-student, in March 2010. Franco posted comics depicting his playthrough of [[Pokémon Ruby]] to 4chan's /v/ board, where they gained attention and inspired others to try the challenge.<ref>https://www.vox.com/culture/2019/11/22/20976759/pokemon-what-is-nuzlocke-challenge-sword-shield</ref> The following month, Franco launched a website for his comics and a forum for fans' challenge chronicles.<ref>https://nuzlockeforums.com/forum/threads/reflecting-on-12-years-of-the-nuzlocke-challenge-nostalgia-on-how-it-all-started.20929/</ref> Over time, the concept spread to various websites and formats such as written stories, animations and livestreams.

Franco uses "Nuzlocke" as a screen name, while his comic is titled "Pokémon: Hard-Mode". However, the word Nuzlocke eventually came to be associated with the ruleset itself.

==Rules==
===Basic rules===


The Nuzlocke Challenge has only two rules that must be followed:
*'''Limited Encounters:''' The {{player}} may only catch the first [[wild Pokémon]] encountered in each area, and no others. If the first wild Pokémon encountered faints or flees, there are no second chances.
**If the first encounter in an area is a [[Double Battle]] or [[Horde Encounter]], the player may choose which of the encountered Pokémon to catch, but only one of them.
*'''Dying''': Any Pokémon that [[Fainting|faints]] is considered dead and must be {{pkmn2|released}}. Revival methods such as [[Revive]], [[Revival Blessing (move)|Revival Blessing]], etc. are forbidden. If you run out of living Pokémon, you've failed the challenge and must restart the game.

===Near-universally-used rules===
*'''Mandatory Nicknames:''' The player must nickname all of their Pokémon, for the sake of forming stronger emotional bonds.
*'''"Met in" Confirmation:''' If the player is unsure whether a location is a valid new encounter or not, such as multiple levels of a cave, you can look at the Pokémon's [[summary]] page to see where they were "Met" in order to confirm whether it's a new location or not.
**'''Gift Pokémon:''' Some players consider [[Gift Pokémon]] (such as the {{p|Eevee}} found in the [[Celadon Condominiums]]) to be separate encounters from wild Pokémon encountered in the same area.
***As of [http://www.nuzlocke.com/comics/pokemon-hard-mode/page/11/ White: Hard-Mode, Episode 3], it is implied that the player can accept Pokémon that are received freely from NPCs.
*'''No Resets:''' The player may not voluntarily soft-reset to undo progress. Being able to do so would render all other rules pointless.
*'''No Cheating:''' Cheating devices (such as [[GameShark]]) may not be used except to make the game harder (such as cheating to disable [[Exp. Share]] in games that don't allow such an option.)
*'''Full Wipe:''' A [[Black out|black out/white out]] is considered to be 'game over' even if there are live Pokémon left in the [[Pokémon Storage System]].
*'''No Outside Trading:''' The player may only use Pokémon obtained through in-game methods, meaning that [[Trade|trading]] with other save files, [[Mystery Gift]]s, etc. are all prohibited.
**'''Trade Evolution Clause:''' There is no firm consensus on trading a [[trade Evolution]] Pokémon away and back to your file to evolve it.
*'''Boxing:''' Deceased Pokémon may be permanently sent to the [[Pokémon Storage System]] rather than releasing them.

===Optional rules===
Though the above rules tend to stay consistent with all players, many variant rules have been created to adjust difficulty based on personal preference. Many other rules exist besides those listed here. Regardless of the optional rules used, the run is considered a Nuzlocke Challenge so long as the two basic rules are in place.

====Increased difficulty====

===== ''Battle restrictions'' =====

* '''Set Mode Clause:''' The battle style must be changed to "Set" in the options menu, meaning the player does not get the opportunity to switch out their Pokémon after an opponent's Pokémon faints. In [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], where there is no set mode, the player must manually decide not to switch each time.
* '''Equal Parties/Fair Fight Clause:''' During Gym Leader and [[rival]] battles, the [[Party|active party]] must not have more Pokémon than the opponent's.
* '''No Items:''' No items may be used during battles except for [[held items]]. Limitation due to perceived power-level of X-items.
* '''No Heal Items:''' [[Potion]]s and [[Status condition healing item|status-healing items]] may not be used.
* '''No Held Items: '''Held items may not be used.

===== ''Leveling restrictions'' =====

* '''Level Cap: '''The player may not use Pokémon above the level of the next [[Gym Leader]]/[[Elite Four]]/{{pkmn|Champion}}'s highest-levelled Pokémon (their "ace"). Pokémon that exceed the level limit might be left in storage until they become eligible, or they might have to be released.
* '''No Evolving: '''The player must use the B-button to cancel any evolutions under their ownership.
* '''No Child Support:''' The {{pkmn|Day Care}} may not be used.
* '''No Exp Share: '''The [[Exp. Share]] may not be used. (This does not apply to games starting from [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], where the Exp. Share can't be disabled without third-party tools.)
*'''No Candy:''' [[Rare Candy]] and [[Exp. Candy]] may not be used.

===== ''Overworld restrictions'' =====

* '''No/Limited Pokémon Centers:''' Pokémon Centers may not be used, or only used a certain number of times per Center, or a certain number of times between each Gym.
* '''No Buying: '''No items may be purchased from NPCs; the player must rely on what they find in the overworld or receive for free.
* '''Limited Balls:''' Only a certain number of [[Poké Ball]]s may be purchased per store.
* '''No Escape:''' The player may not [[Escape|flee]] from battle.
**'''No Wild Encounters:''' Alternatively, the player must flee whenever possible, in order to limit the amount of [[experience]] gained.

===== ''Pokémon restrictions'' =====

* '''Random Starter:''' The [[first partner Pokémon]] must be randomly chosen. A common system is if the last digit of the player's [[Trainer ID number]] is 1-3, they must choose the Grass-type first partner Pokémon; if it is 4-6, the Fire-type first partner Pokémon; if it is 7-9, the Water-type first partner Pokémon; if it is 0, free choice. Alternatively, use the Trainer ID {{wp|Modulo operation|modulo}} 3: remainder 0 = Grass, remainder 1 = Fire, remainder 2 = Water. However, the modulo method makes the Grass-type first partner more likely to be picked, with 4 chances instead of 3.
* '''Caught Only:''' The first partner Pokémon must be released or boxed after the first wild Pokémon is caught.
* '''One Per Gym:''' The player may only catch the first Pokémon after each Gym Leader instead of in each area.
* '''Ban List:''' Certain Pokémon such as [[Legendary Pokémon|Legendaries]], [[Pseudo-legendary Pokémon|Pseudo-Legendaries]], and/or other powerful Pokémon are banned as they excessively mitigate the difficulty of the challenge.
* '''Monotype/Monocolor Challenge:''' Only Pokémon of a certain [[Type]] or [[List of Pokémon by color|color]] may be used. Rather than the first Pokémon encountered in an area, the player may catch the first one which fits the category or will evolve into fitting the category. If a Pokémon would lose the category upon evolution, it may not evolve.
* '''Notepad Clause:''' No Pokémon may be kept in the PSS; in other words, the player may only own six Pokémon at a time. This was named after its inventor, user "Notepad" on the now-defunct original Nuzlocke Forum.
** '''Notepad Extreme/First 6 Only:''' The player may only own six Pokémon throughout the entire run. If all six faint or otherwise become ineligible, then it's an instant 'game over'.
* '''Giftlocke:''' Poké Balls may not be used. Any Pokémon obtained must be either given to the player by an NPC or hatched from an {{pkmn|Egg}}.
* '''No Repels:''' [[Repel]]s may not be used, as they can manipulate encounter odds or guarantee special overworld Pokémon to be eligible for capture, thus allowing the player to control their first encounter. Repels may be used in a given area once the eligible Pokémon is caught or lost.

===== ''Miscellaneous'' =====
*'''Limited Training: '''Quality-of-life features such as [[Pokémon-Amie]], the [[DexNav]] and [[Super Training]] may not be used.
*'''Challenge Mode:''' ({{2v2|Black|White|2}} only) The difficulty must be set to [[Key System|Challenge Mode]], which increases the levels of opposing Trainers' Pokémon.
*'''Memory Only:''' Online aids (walkthroughs, NPC team info, etc.) may not be used.
*'''Speedrun:''' In addition to the Nuzlocke rules, the player tries to defeat the Champion with as little "time played" on the save file counter as possible.
*'''Progression Sacrifice:''' After each [[Badge]] the player randomly selects one party member to sacrifice.

====Decreased difficulty====
*'''Slow Start:''' The two basic rules are not in effect until the player has gained their first [[Poké Ball]]s and thus the ability to catch Pokémon. For example, encounters starting from the {{p|Poochyena}}{{sup/3|RS}}{{sup/6|ORAS}}/{{p|Zigzagoon}}{{sup/3|E}} that the player has to save [[Professor Birch]] from, up to when the player can catch Pokémon, are not counted. Likewise, in the games where the first rival battle is immediately after obtaining the first partner Pokémon, the "release or permanently box a Pokémon if it faints" rule is often not enforced at that time.
*'''Species/Dupes Clause:''' The "first wild Pokémon in each area" rule does not apply in an area until a species or evolutionary line is encountered that has not been caught yet. For example, if the player's first encounter in an area is with a {{p|Caterpie}} and they already own a Caterpie, {{p|Metapod}}, or {{p|Butterfree}}, it wouldn't count as their first encounter in that area. This allows for increased variety in a player's Pokémon collection.
**A limit may be set on how many times the player can apply the Species/Dupes Clause in an area. If this many duplicate Pokémon are encountered in an area, the Species/Dupes Clause is no longer applied for that area and the player must settle for the next Pokémon they encounter.
*'''Second Chance:''' The player may have a small number of "second chances" or revives of fallen team members. Typically this type of ruling is done by Gym, such as getting 1 revive per Badge.
*'''Shiny Clause:''' [[Shiny Pokémon]] can be caught even if they're not a first encounter, and do not need to be released if they faint. It's up to the player whether shinies may be used during the challenge, or merely traded away to another game/[[Pokémon HOME]] for safekeeping.
**'''Shiny Replacement Clause:''' A compromise where you can use Shiny Pokémon in a Nuzlocke, but another Pokémon must be released in exchange.
*'''Checkpoints:''' Each Gym Badge can act as a checkpoint. If the player gets a game over, they may restart from when they won their last Badge.
*'''HM Helper:''' If the player has no Pokémon that can use a [[field move]] that is required to continue the game, they may catch another Pokémon to use the required field move. However, this Pokémon cannot be used in battle and must be released as soon as it is no longer needed or if the player catches another Pokémon that can use the same field move.
*'''On Safari: '''The "first encounter only" rule is modified for the [[Safari Zone]]. One catch may be had for each section of the Zone, rather than the more restrictive interpretation that the entire Zone is one area.
**Similarly, the [[Pokémon Den|Pokémon Dens]] of Galar's [[Wild Area]] can be interpreted as their own "new area" each, rather than only making one catch from the entire Wild Area or one from each sub-area.
*'''A Little Help From My Friends: '''Cheating devices (such as [[GameShark]]) may be used.
**'''Rare Candy Clause:''' Hack in infinite [[Rare Candy|Rare Candies]] to avoid tedious grinding. It was popularized by the streamer Pokémon Challenges.
**'''Master Ball Clause:''' Hack in infinite [[Master Ball]]s to avoid wild Pokémon accidentally being knocked out, [[Escape|running away]], or using escape moves like {{m|Teleport}} and {{m|Roar}}.

==Variant rulesets==
*'''Hardcore Nuzlocke:''' A general name for any Nuzlocke variant which restricts item use and over-levelling, in order to produce a more difficult run and more strategic play.
*'''Wonderlocke''': Any Pokémon caught must immediately be traded using [[Wonder Trade]] and the received Pokémon is used instead. Typically, this comes with a level restriction where if the received Pokémon is more than a certain number of levels higher than the original Pokémon, it must be traded again until an appropriate-level Pokémon is received.
*'''Soul-Link''': Two player variant where both players' Pokémon are "soul-linked" based on their origin. So the first partner Pokémon are linked, the Pokémon from Route 1 are linked, and so on. If a Pokémon dies, its soulmate does too. Linked Pokémon must be in both players' parties at once, i.e. one cannot leave a Pokémon in the PSS while its soulmate is on the active team.
**Common additional rules include restricting duplicate types between the two players. If either player is using a Pokémon of a certain type, the other player cannot use any Pokémon of that same type. If both players find the same type of Pokémon for one encounter, neither is able to use it.
*'''Egglocke''': The player catches Pokémon, 1 per route as normal, but instead of using the Pokémon caught, they hatch a randomly generated egg. Usually this is done via trades or through cheat devices, where the egg Pokémon are chosen by a third party, such as friends or a streaming audience.
*'''Wedlocke''': Each pair of Pokémon is married/bonded based on the order they're caught in. A Pokémon can only switch out for its bondmate. If a Pokémon dies, its bondmate must be the next one sent in. If one "widow" survives a battle, they might either remarry the next catch, or get perma-boxed ("retire out of grief").
*'''Randomizer:''' Randomizer mods can be used to add more variety to Nuzlockes. However, encountering a Legendary or other powerful Pokémon early can greatly reduce difficulty. Additionally, catch rates may have to be adjusted via the Randomizer in order for Legendary Pokémon to be feasibly caught using low-tier Balls.
*'''Alphabetlocke:''' The six Pokémon on your team must be the first six species names in alphabetical order (or reverse alphabetical). For example, if you have a Squirtle, Pidgey, Mankey, Beedrill, Pikachu, Geodude, Clefairy, and Abra, then your active team is: Abra, Beedrill, Clefairy, Geodude, Mankey, Pidgey. Then if Mankey evolves into Primeape, its new name is lower in alphabetical order, so Pikachu takes its spot on the team.
*'''Lorelocke:''' A large ruleset which has individual rules for each species, inspired by mythological creatures and stories.
*'''Ballocke:''' Instead of limiting Pokémon by route, this variant limits by type of Ball. Only one Pokémon may be caught in a Poké Ball, one may be caught in a Great Ball, one in a Quick Ball, etc.

==Tips==
*'''Repel Encounter Manipulation:''' Having a [[Repel]] active and a Pokémon in the first position at a specific level can be used to filter out unwanted encounters and in some cases guarantee specific encounters.
*'''Sacking:''' For difficult encounters, it is wise to have at least one Pokémon you are willing to sacrifice in order to switch to a better one. Recommended Pokémon to be sacked are: ones with weak base stats, ones whose type is shared by a more powerful teammate, or ones who could have a replacement caught in an upcoming place.
*'''Play Around The Crit:''' Being aware if your Pokémon is in danger of being taken out by a [[critical hit]] is key to avoiding unnecessary deaths. [[Generation I]] has a critical hit damage multiplier between 1.5× and 1.95× depending on the level, with higher levels doing more damage. From Generations {{gen|II}} to {{gen|V}}, the damage dealt by a critical hit is 2× as much as a normal hit. From [[Generation VI]] onward, critical hits deal 1.5× more damage than normal. ''Warning'': critical hits ignore stat changes, such as increased Defense with Defense Curl.
*'''Avoid Unnecessary Encounters:''' Trainers use better decision-making and have higher levels on average than wild Pokémon within the same route. Avoiding non-required trainer battles increases the chance your Pokémon will survive.
*'''Be Aware of Mandatory Battles:''' Don't trigger mandatory battles, such as rival fights, without first making sure your team is fully healed and properly leveled.
*'''Don't Underlevel:''' There is no reason to have an under-leveled Pokémon for encounters. Even if adhering to Gym Leader level restrictions, make sure to have your team at the level restriction by the time you trigger the battle.
*'''Protect the Important Ones:''' Be aware of which Pokémon are best suited to upcoming Gyms, and do not expose them to unnecessary risks such as fighting a strong Route trainer.
*'''Baiting:''' {{pkmn|Trainer}}-owned Pokémon will choose the move that is most effective against the enemy Pokémon. As such, you can bait certain moves in order to get a free switch. A common example is having a Pokémon weak to {{type|Ground}} moves out on the field and then switch to a Pokémon that is immune to Ground moves, such as a {{type|Flying}} Pokémon or a Pokémon with {{a|Levitate}}.
*'''Generational Awareness:''' Be aware of changes between generations. For example: {{a|Sturdy}}, in Generations {{gen|III}} and {{gen|IV}} only, protects against [[one-hit knockout move]]s, while in Generation V onward, it protects the Pokémon from being knocked out with one hit when at full HP.
*'''PP Stall:''' Using healing moves or items (if allowed) in order to force a dangerous encounter to waste all their good moves. Typically, this is used for low-PP moves that deal large amounts of damage. If successful, this can lead to the enemy using {{m|Struggle}} to knock itself out.

==Trivia==
*So far in the original Nuzlocke comics, one first partner Pokémon of each type has been used: {{p|Treecko}} in [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby]], {{p|Charmander}} in [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Fire Red]], and {{p|Oshawott}} in the ongoing [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|White]] challenge.
*The original Nuzlocke run through Ruby was a failure, due to the entire active team dying in the Champion battle.
*In the Nuzlocke Forums' [https://nuzlockeforums.com/forum/threads/final-team-frequency-4-0.20759/ log of successful runs], the most victorious Pokémon of all time is {{p|Gyarados}}, which has survived 240 recorded Champion battles at time of writing.
*[[The Pokémon Company]] strongly opposes Nuzlocking - former Nintendo Minute presenters Kit and Krysta once requested to the company to make a video out of a Nuzlocke, which was quickly denied. TPC claimed Nuzlockes as "on the same level as using . . . [[ROM hack]]s".<ref>Garcia, Jose (2022-9-19) "[https://www.dualshockers.com/two-ex-nintendo-employees-were-almost-fired-for-nuzlockeing-pokmon/|Two Ex-Nintendo Employees Were "Almost Fired" For Nuzlocke'ing Pokémon]", ''{{wp|Dual Shockers}}''.
