== On the XKCD "not into Pokémon" trend ==

Does the trend about dismissing uninteresting stuff with "[http://xkcd.com/178/ I'm not really into Pokémon]" started at some point in 2007 between XKCD (and some others) webcomic readers counts as a reference of some sort? I'm willing to analyze the subject and look for factual references if this is considered worthy of a mention. --[[User:Solovino|Solovino]] 22:30, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

==Fraiser==
I remember an episode where Fraiser shows up at a kid's birthday party and a woman (forgot her name) offers him some Pokémon punch. Fraser declines the offer and instead asks for coffee.

==House==
In a new episode where a patient is storing a bunch of dangerous weapons, House mentions Arceus and the time space legend. No one else in the room understands what he is talking about.[[User:Auragirl|Auragirl]] 02:12, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

== Homestar Runner ==
The fact that the Homestar Runner character The Cheat is based of Pikachu is incorrect, as The Cheat was created before Pokemon was really well known in the USA, (1996 The Cheat was created) However, I'm not denying that later on The Cheat was changed to look like Pikachu, just the fact that he was designed like him isn't true.

== Nickelodeon Magazine ==
I remember reading an old Nickelodeon magazine that showed what some comic/game/cartoon characters would look in real life (but not actually shown in real life, just realistic drawings). Among the group, Ash is there, trying to catch a butterfly with a net. Where would this go on the list? --[[User:Reversinator|Reversinator]] 19:55, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

If one were to look in the episode "Party On!" when Sean Kingston is singing, Cody can be seen with a Pokewalker, possibly a reference to the fact that the Sprouse twins did an American commercial for HeartGold and SoulSilver [[User:Cyndaquil155|Cyndaquil155]] 19:38, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

I've watched an episode of {{wp|Phineas and Ferb}} called 'De Plane! De Plane!'. In this episode, Dr. Doofenshmirtz builds a device to evaporate swimming pools by focusing sunlight.

In the music video for {{wp|Love Me Right (Oh Sheila)}}, one of the teddies (the blue one) lying next to singer Lara McAllen looks like it could be a Poliwhirl, but as there arent an close ups of it, I'm not 100% sure, is anyone else able to tell?

== Private Practice ==

I just walked into the room while my mom was watching the show and I saw something that's probably relevant. It's somewhere near the end, where a kid and his apparent dad are talking. The kid is holding a Reshiram action figure and puts it on the table before he turns on the TV. It's the episode that just aired today, "Step One". {{unsigned|Knuclear200x}}

I have heard that there are references to Pokémon in the game [[wikipedia:Trade & Battle: Card Hero|Trade & Battle: Card Hero]], developed by Nintendo R&D1 and Intelligent Systems; a game that became quite popular in Japan. Supposedly, amongst the references there is an NPC who remarks that everyone is out playing a game called "Rocket Monsters" and one of the NPCs idolizes "Team Pocket" as one of his favourite villains.

:''"Thunderbolt"'' is [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/thunderbolt an actual word], meaning a bolt of lightning accompanied by a thunderclap. While it's possible that it could be a reference, I suspect it's more likely just using a word for its meaning. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 20:27, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

== My Little Pony ==

So, why is the MLP bit listed here? All that happens in the actual episode is that Twilight gets angry and turns into a Rapidash-like figure. It's just temporary for a quick gag, and more importantly, it isn't actually a Rapidash, just something that looks like one. It goes completely unnamed for the entirety of its appearance. It wasn't meant to be a Pokémon reference, I don't think. It's seriously Twilight, not Rapidash, so I'm betting that there was a brony who was being annoying (big surprise) and just added it for the sake of adding it, so I'm removing it now. --[[User:GoldenSandslash15|GoldenSandslash15]] ([[User talk:GoldenSandslash15|talk]]) 19:40, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

== Strip Mall on Comedy Central ==

They made fun of Pokémon in the show Strip Mall, which aired on Comedy Central in the 90's. Its super long ago, but I remember the show was about adult movies being filmed in a strip mall. Well at some point they spoof Pokémon and the lead actor gets put in a Coma. In the hospital the guy gets outted about his "Acting career" to his girlfrind by a nurse wanting an autograph. She says she accidentally bought it for her kids and on the cover the guy is a Pikachu. At some point he wakes up from the coma and is then knocked back out by the enraged and sickened girlfriend.

It turns out that Strip Mall's adult movie spoof of it was called "Pokememon" and one of the actresses (dressed up like Misty) involved even tells the director that "there's a cartoon just like this" We'll leave the discussion of the youtube clip there...

:So should this be added, or because it is a little adult in nature should it not be added? I know you guys have Ling-Ling from Drawn Together mentioned, and that show is all kinds of adult...but what is the rule of thumb for this kind of thing? I know for a fact the Parody surfaced in at least two episodes, one in which it was being made, another in which I described earlier.

== Put My Little Pony Back in! ==

I think it's obvious that the joke in My Little Pony was a parody of Rapidash. It may be a joke about her getting so mad that she catches fire. But try comparing this [http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/File:Twilight_angry_S1E15.png shot] to Twilight's normal form and Rapidash. Who does she look more like? She looks more like Rapidash than herself. Really. Let's compare. Normally Twilight has purple fur. This Twilight has light yellow fur like Rapidash. Normal Twilight has purple eyes. This Twilight has red eyes. Normal Twilight has straight black mane with a pink streak. This Twilight has fiery mane like Rapidash. Her cutie mark is gone. And there are other ways that they could have used this effect. One is to make her completely engulfed in flames like Human Torch. She could get an aura of flame without changing color. She can just turn red. Or she can get mad with out any exaggeration. They can even take that scene out. It's not that important to leave it in. Twilight finally accepts the Pinkie Sense immediately after that Rapidash freak-out. While her body shape, height and art-style remained the same and her mane flames higher than Rapidash, she still obviously resembles Rapidash. How can that be unintentional? How would you know if some of the references on this page were intentional? Did the companies state they were? I think if an image obviously screams Pokémon like this, it should be added intentional or not. It doesn't matter if it's brief. It doesn't matter if it's just a character looking that way. It's obvious that Hasbro took advantage of Rapidash's unicorn look, the cartoon physics of bursting into flames when your angry and the fact that their show was attracting a broader audience than intended. I want that My Little Pony reference back in! And My Little Pony had later references for the bronies, like non-anthropomorphic versions of Mordekei and Rigby from Regular Show appearing as Fluttershy's animals. Sure, Regular Show may not have anything to do with Pokémon, but it shows a pattern and helps my Rapidash case.

Let the picture speak for itself. Thank you Twilight. Oh shoot, I just made my first brony meme! Oh well, not like this joke was DONE TO DEATH! There are YouTube vids on this scene, many people commented on Twilight evolving into Rapidash, reviews of Feeling Pinkie Keen has compared her to Rapidash, TV Tropes has noted this scene as a Rapidash cameo. Even the My Little Pony Wiki has joked about this image of Twilight "evolving" into Rapidash. How do you know that this isn't supposed to be a Pokémon nod? She looks too much like Rapidash. There are other ways Hasbro could have done this. I would be surprised if the producers stated that it has nothing to do with Rapidash. Also, there is a reason why there is the Togepi template on the article. I think this is okay to add in the article. If someone won't add it, I will!

Here's a comparison between Twilight Sparkle and Rapidash. Now tell me, doesn't that moment when Twilight got mad make her look a lot like Rapidash? Red eyes, check. Fire mane check. Whitish yellow fur, check. Lack of cutie mark, check. She looked like a hybrid of herself and Rapidash. In fact the Rapidash is more noticeable than Twilight. She looks like a Rapidash that was transported into MLP universe. Also, how do we know that it was unintentional? Did you know what other ways she could get angry without turning into Rapidash? In fact the anger didn't need to be there in the first place because Twilight instantly calmed down and accepted the Pinkie Sense. Look at her original look. She's purple! And has straight hair with magenta streaks. And she has a cutie mark. She briefly loses that when she turned into Rapidash. And I have to disagree with Golden Sandslash when he pointed out that it was not meant to be a Pokémon reference. It obviously was a Pokémon reference. Why else would Twilight look like that? I mean look at the context. Pinkie Pie has this "Pinkie Sense". She shivered and sensed that a really big "doozy" would happen. The mane 6 get chased by a hydra. They escape the Hydra, but Pinkie's Sense kept tingling, meaning the Hydra wasn't the doozy. Twilight was surprised and confused at what could be doozier than a hydra. Pinkie told her she don't know. Twilight then turned into Rapidash for a second and quickly calmed down and finally believed in the Pinkie Sense. While it wasn't really Rapidash in-story, she clearly resembled one. Was it needed in the episode? No. Did Hasbro know of the Brony fandom? Possibly. Was it intentional? Most likely. Were there other references in My Little Pony to other franchises? Yep. So I'm very convinced that this was meant to be a Poké reference. And very fitting since the pre-evolved form of Rapidash was '''''Pony'''''ta. [[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]] ([[User talk:SeanWheeler|talk]]) 04:28, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
:It is not obviously a Pokemon reference. I saw the episode once upon a time and the thought that she looked like Rapidash never crossed my mind. Anger and fiery/red go hand-in-hand. She got angry so she got bitchin' flames for hair and red eyes against a red background. I'm not an artist, but I can see the white fur being because it just looks better than keeping the purple; or maybe it's just keeping in line with the fire theme: white hot. And the cutie mark could have been forgotten or could have been deemed trivial or in-the-way.

::Maybe the thought of Rapidash didn't cross your mind because you weren't thinking of Pokémon? You can finally get some jokes if someone points it out for you. The Princess Twilight didn't make me think of Zelda: Twilight Princess until Joshscorcher pointed it out in his review. But I totally think the Twilight Princess thing was coincidental. Her turning into Rapidash wasn't. And was it that necessary for her to turn into that Rapidash-like pony for a second right before believing in Pinkie Pie? Your playing a guessing game too. Golden Sandslash played a guessing game when he decided the MLP reference shouldn't be there. You guys agreed on one complaint. And I disagree with that complaint. Unless there is a source saying it was accidental, I'll keep insisting. [[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]] ([[User talk:SeanWheeler|talk]]) 13:21, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
:::After discussing with a couple of other staff, we feel that that since it's not clear that it is intentional or likely intentional, we shouldn't list it.

:::::'''Cartoonist:''' How can grown man like ponies and rainbows?
:::::'''Faust:''' I don't know. But I'm sure some of these people like Pokémon. So let's see if we can make a joke in the show.
:::::'''Cartoonist:''' Okay.
:::::'''Faust:''' There is this Pokémon named Rapidash. It's a Fire unicorn. In the My Little Pony episode we're working on, Twilight should get so angry that she turns into a Rapidash cameo. I'll give you a picture of Rapidash. Now try applying a Rapidash skin on Twilight in her burst of anger.
:::::'''Cartoonist:''' Okay.
::::The cartoonist gets the FRLG artwork of Rapidash, and with his editing tools, copies Rapidash's colors onto Twilight. Removes her cutie mark. Replaced her mane with flames. Looking closely at Rapidash's eyes and noticing it has no pupils in its red irises, he removes Twilight's pupils. Now tell a scenario that makes it an accident.

:::::There are plenty of image hosting services out there; if you want to use that image in a post, you should use on of them—Bulbagarden Archives is not an image hosting service.

:::::::::And another thing, does someone have the first season on DVD? If you do, can you watch Feeling Pinkie Keen with the commentary? Can you tell me what the commentators said at that scene? And not some bronies commenting. There's already a lot of let's watch where they joke about Twilight evolving into Rapidash. But just the producers commentating on the DVD. [[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]] ([[User talk:SeanWheeler|talk]]) 21:07, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
::::::::::Also, if you thought something like this was unintentional, how do you know if all the other references were intentional? I mean, what if a kid from Kids Next Door cosplayed as Ash was an accident? That may be unlikely but I have a hard time believing that a state of anger that makes Twilight look more like Rapidash than herself. I know there is a cartoon effect of bursting into flames when angry, but I think Hasbro took advantage of the fiery anger effect and thought of Rapidash. After all, Rapidash was one of the original Kanto Pokémon. And even if some of you didn't get the joke at first, a lot of bronies who know about Pokémon got the joke. And the Togepi speculation template is there for a reason. Twilight didn't have to turn white when on fire. She could have turned red. Her pupils didn't have to turn red and merge with her irises. Her mane didn't have to be totally replaced with flames. There is no reason to think it was unintentional and excuses are only good for preventing Nintendo from suing Hasbro, and considering it's really just Twilight getting fiery mad and is a lot shorter and her mane is rising higher, I think Hasbro was already safe. Ling-Ling from Drawn Together doesn't look that much like Pikachu. I think Twilight flaring up really deserves a mention. It's blatantly obvious to me. If it's not obvious, that's your opinion. But many bronies agree that she turned into Rapidash. It was even joked about in [http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/Twilight_Sparkle/Gallery/Season_1_episodes_14-26#Feeling_Pinkie_Keen Twilight's gallery on My Little Pony Wiki], as well as the [http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/Feeling_Pinkie_Keen/Gallery episode gallery]. TV Tropes listed it as a [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/ShoutOut/Mylittleponyfriendshipismagic Shoutout]. Many Youtube [https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=twilight+rapidash videos] joked about Twilight being Rapidash. It's pretty much a meme. I think something so noticed that it achieves meme status should be listed here, don't you? In fact, Rapidash helped the joke. So I do not think this is an accident. Thanks Nintendo for designing a Pokémon that MLP could use for a joke. [[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]] ([[User talk:SeanWheeler|talk]]) 18:55, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
(reset indent) You know, it gets boring when I become the only one talking on a talk page and no one is commenting. The resemblence is too uncanny for a coincidence. It's so obvious that there's a meme. Thinking of Rapidash would help out the joke. Turning her into Rapidash wasn't a coincidence, it was a clever joke. And it was unnecessary to the episode. Based on all of my reasons, are we still going to ignore it and brush it off as a coincidence or accept it as a sneaky Rapidash cameo? How does it feel like a coincidence? The fiery anger just makes the reference brilliant. Are we going to delete my image? If so, how am I going to change that thumbnail? [[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]] ([[User talk:SeanWheeler|talk]]) 16:31, 5 July 2014 (UTC)
:I have been making a lot of points about why it can't be a coincidence.
:#She looks so much like Rapidash.
:##She had Rapidash's white fur instead of her normal purple fur.
:##She had Rapidash's fiery mane instead of her black hair with magenta streaks.
:##Her cutie mark is gone.
:##Her eyes are red like Rapidash. Her eyes are normally purple with black pupils but in this frame, her irises and pupils are both red like when you take a closer look at Rapidash.
:##The only thing that resembles Twilight was her art style, bodyshape and eyelashes.
:##If I took this image out of context and you never saw the episode, you wouldn't think this is Twilight Sparkle. You'd think this is some fanart of Rapidash.
:#There are other ways Hasbro could have done this.
:##They could have made her a Horse Torch (as in a parody of the Human Torch of the Fantastic Four).
:##She could have gotten an aura of flame without changing color.
:##Her fur could have turned red.
:##She can get mad without any effects.
:##They could have removed the joke completely.
:#What if some of the references were unintentional?
::#Ling-Ling looked nothing like Pikachu.
:#There is a Togepi notice on this page.
:#This joke was unnecessary in the story because Twilight immediately accepts Pinkie Pie's Pinkie Sense when she calmed down.
:#It was a joke.
:#It looks like Hasbro took advantage of Rapidash resembling a fiery unicorn, the mad-on-fire cartoon effect and the fact that Twilight herself is a unicorn to make this brilliant joke.
:#My Little Pony had other references.
:##In Return to Harmony, the maze was a big homage to Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
:###The Maze had Hogwarts styled flags.
:###Twilight tells the Mane 6 to regroup at the center of the maze. That was where the Twiwizard Cup was and when Harry Potter and Cedric Diggory decided to touch the cup together for a tie.
:###The Mane 6 faced obstacles in the Maze. There were obstacles in the Twiwizard Maze.
:####The obstacles changed their personalities to become the opposite of their elements. Dumbledore told the champions "you'll find people change in the maze." Imposter Moody puts the Imperius Curse on Viktor Krum to control him and hinder the champions other than Harry.
:###When Rainbow Dash flew away forfeiting the Maze while the other ponies watched from far away, it was similar to when Harry shot red sparks to the sky signifying Fleur Delacour being out of the maze.
:####Something happened after that. In Harry Potter, a huge burst of wind blew. In My Little Pony, Discord ended the game because Rainbow broke the rules.
:##The Dragon in Dragonshy resembled Smaug from The Hobbit.
:###When Rarity flatters the Dragon, it was like when Bilbo Baggins flatters Smaug.
:####There was also a Pirates of the Caribbean reference when Rarity wore the Dragon's jewels like Captain Jack Sparrow wearing jewels in Isla De Muerta when talking to Captain Barbossa.
:###Rarity states she was this close to getting that diamond like how Bilbo was so close to getting the Arkenstone. Interestingly, this scene contradicts with Rarity's Element of Generosity.
:##Mordekei and Rigby from Regular Show makes cameos as Fluttershy's pets in The Stare Master.
:##Fluttershy's bear looks like Baloo from the Jungle Book.
:##In Bats, during Applejack's musical number, the Batman icon blatantly appears in the shape DC trademarked in the background.
:###In that same episode, Pinkie Pie references Dracula by wearing vampire fangs and saying "Stand back! I vant to suck it's juuiiiccce!"
:##Another Batman reference appears in the Mysterious Mare Do Well. There are rally posters of the Mare Do Well that look like the poster for Batman: The Animated Series.
:###The Mare Do Well dresses in Black and is as mysterious as Batman.
:###When it turns out that the Mane 6 other than Rainbow Dash were the Mare Do Well, it's like Mystery of the Batwoman when the Batwoman was three people.
:###Rainbow called herself your friendly neighborhood Rainbow Dash, which is like the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.
:####And in that same sentence, she said "Have no fear, your friendly neighborhood Rainbow Dash is here" which references Underdog.
:###In It's About Time, Twilight goes back in time with an important message from the future, similar to Heroes when Hiro Nakamora goes back in time to tell Peter "Save the cheerleader, save the world."
:###In Power Ponies, the Mane 6 plus Spike were transported to a comic book world.
:####Spike as Humdrum was like Robin or Bucky.
:####Twilight as the Masked Metahorn was like Iceman or in the laser blast moment, Cyclops.
:####Pinkie Pie as Fili Second was as fast as the Flash.
:####Rainbow Dash as Zap had weather powers like Storm.
:####Rarity as Radiance can make light constructs from her jewelry like the Green Lantern.
:####Applejack as Mistress Mare-voulous has a lasso like Wonder Woman. When you know she's the Element of Honesty, you'll get the Lasso of Truth joke.
:#####She has Hoofarangs like Batman's Batarangs.
:######They can also reference how Wonder Woman can use her tiara as a boomerang.
:#####Her name is based on Ms. Marvel.
:####Fluttershy as the Saddle Rager would turn into a monster when she's angry like the Hulk.
:##There were so many references that the fan film Double Rainboom overused references.
:#If you delete my image, the thumbnail in my previous comment will get messed up.
:##I do not know how to make thumbnails for photobucket images.
:##The caption was important to one of my previous comments: "Let the picture speak for itself. Thank you, Twilight. Oh shoot, I just made my first brony meme."
:##Deletion will vandalize my comment. You don't want to mess with someone else's comment, do you?
:#It has become a meme.

== Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends ==

Someone deleted the reference to the "Cuckoo for Coco Cards" episode when Bloo said he had all 150 of the original set. I think they were going for a Pokémon reference there. The plot of the episode involved Coco making "Foster's Cards", which were basically trading cards of Foster's friends. Bloo became desperate for some cards, and after whining to get them, he said, "I've collected all 150 Foster's cards!" shortly before Coco announced she was making a "Series 2". This sounds like a blatant parody of how Pokémon fans were; whining and becoming desperate for them, and then when they collected them all, Generation II came out. Many of the Pokémon parodies seem to use this, so I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case here. [[User:Matty|Matty]] ([[User talk:Matty|talk]]) 06:54, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

:150 could mean anything. It doesn't specifically refer to the original Kanto Pokémon. [[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]] ([[User talk:SeanWheeler|talk]]) 14:35, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

== Jokamal ==

On the episode "Mexican Day" of TV Funhouse (a short lived show on Comedy Central based off the SNL cartoon shorts) their was a cartoon short called Jokamal. The plot was that RJ Reynolds has agreed to stop using Joe Camel to advertise cigarette to children. Instead, the company has decided to make a tobacco free cartoon called Jokamal. It is a parody of the Pokemon cartoon with Joe Camel as Pikachu. Throughout the show, the audience is told to buy Jokamal merchandise and is given subliminal messages to buy camel cigarettes.

[[File:ORAS Delta Episode.png|thumb|Promotional artwork for the Delta Episode]]
The '''Delta Episode''' (Japanese: '''エピソード　デルタ''' ''Episode Delta'') is a mission following the {{player}}'s first completion of the [[Hoenn League]] in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. The episode revolves around a meteoroid that is on course for collision with the planet and a newly developed character, [[Zinnia]].

==Plot==
{{incomplete plot}}
After the player defeats {{Steven}} and becomes {{pkmn|Champion}} for the first time, the Delta Episode is unlocked. Once the player loads the game, a cutscene introducing the Delta Episode starts with the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] and a warning siren being sounded. A meteoroid is expected to make impact on "a small island southwest of {{ci|Sootopolis}}, off of {{rt|131|Hoenn}}", presumably [[Sky Pillar]]. Uncertain about the nature or origin of the meteoroid, as the meteoroid seems to be able to change its trajectory, [[Professor Cozmo]] must devise a plan to keep the meteoroid from landing. Meanwhile, a {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{tc|Team Aqua Grunt}}{{sup/6|AS}} named [[Zinnia]], accompanied by a {{p|Whismur}} named Aster, is shown standing atop Sky Pillar switching out her team's uniform for a [[Draconid people|Draconid]] cape. She mentions that there isn't much time left, displaying knowledge of the meteoroid's existence, and thinks that the player may have complicated matters by not allowing the "super-ancient Pokémon" ({{p|Groudon}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/6|AS}}) to be revived in its [[Primal Reversion|Primal form]]. Regardless, she plans to make use of a [[Key Stone]] in order to revive {{p|Rayquaza}}, so it can destroy the meteoroid.

===Littleroot Town===
The player starts in their bedroom in [[Littleroot Town]], as is normal after defeating the Hoenn League. Downstairs, Mom and [[Norman]] are discussing the Litleonid meteor shower which would be viewed in Mossdeep City. Norman has to be at the Gym on the day of the show, thus Dad gives the player a {{key|VI|Pair of Tickets}} and asks them to take Brendan/May with them. After leaving the house, Zinnia stands at the front door waiting for the player. Introducing herself by name, she tells the player that she knows about them and their ability to use [[Mega Evolution]]. After Zinnia leaves, the player finds out that she has stolen Brendan/May's Key Stone from them. They tell the player that Zinnia is headed to [[Petalburg City]] and that they should go with caution, as Zinnia is a powerful {{pkmn|Trainer}}.

===Petalburg City===
Upon arrival in [[Petalburg City]], Courtney{{sup/6|OR}} or Matt{{sup/6|AS}} can be found harassing [[Wally]] in front of his house. They are looking for a Key Stone as well, their reasons unbeknownst to the player at this point. When the player approaches, Wally insists that he doesn't have the Key Stone and calls the player by name when he sees them behind Courtney{{sup/6|OR}} or Matt{{sup/6|AS}}. This prompts a battle with the Team Admin in an effort to steal the player's Key Stone. When the player defeats them, they tell the player that they are going to [[Meteor Falls]]. Wally informs the player that his Key Stone went missing prior to the arrival of the {{tc|Magma Admin}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{tc|Aqua Admin}}{{sup/6|AS}}. Steven contacts the player through the [[PokéNav Plus]], a feature that Steven didn't think was possible at that point as [[Devon Corporation|Devon]] is still developing the technology. He tells the player to meet him at the Devon Corporation in [[Rustboro City]].

===Rustboro City===
Upon arrival in [[Rustboro City]], the player must go to the [[Devon Corporation]] upon Steven's request. However, a {{tc|Scientist}} will need the player's help to ward off some {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}s{{sup/6|OR}} or {{tc|Team Aqua Grunt}}s{{sup/6|AS}}. After warding them off, Steven invites the player inside and [[Mr. Stone]] tells a story to the player. Then Steven asks the player to go to [[Sootopolis City]] to meet up with [[Wallace]] outside of the [[Cave of Origin]].

===Sootopolis City===
At the Cave of Origin, the player meets up with Wallace and is instructed to go to the entrance of the [[Sky Pillar]] on {{rt|131|Hoenn}}.

===Route 131===
Wallace challenges the player to a [[Pokémon battle]] in front of the Sky Pillar. Once he is defeated, he will move over from his spot in front of the entrance and let the player in.

===Sky Pillar===
The player is greeted by [[Zinnia]] when entering the main area. Zinnia then tells the story of the Draconids, one part per floor. When the player reaches the altar, Zinnia will summon Rayquaza, only to find out it doesn't possess enough energy to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]. Rayquaza consumes the sparkling {{key|VI|Meteorite}} the player received from [[Maxie]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Archie]]{{sup/6|AS}} at [[Mt. Chimney]] and challenges the player to a battle. In order to proceed with the story, Rayquaza must be captured; if defeated, Rayquaza will remain atop Sky Pillar until the player has captured it. When Rayquaza is caught, Zinnia challenges the player to a final battle, wanting to test her skills against Rayquaza. After the battle, regardless of the outcome, the player puts a space suit on and rides on Rayquaza's back into space to destroy the meteoroid.

The meteoroid turns out to be a vessel for the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Deoxys}}, enabling it to travel through space. It appears at first in the form of a triangle, teleporting from one side of the screen to the other, it returns to the center and grows tentacles. Starting with Mega Rayquaza in their party, the player must battle Deoxys.

If the player does not catch Deoxys during the Delta Episode, it will reappear the Dragonhark Altar on Sky Pillar after entering the [[Hall of Fame]] again.

== Weakness ==

Pardon my lack of in-game knowledge, but should skarmory's lighting weakness be less than 400? 70 Sp. defense could be considered mediorce but not as to 400, right? {{unsigned|Ky00ber}}

140 (Def) divided by 70 (Sp.Def) is 2. So the effectiveness of all special moves are doubled, compared to normal moves. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 01:00, 23 November 2005 (CST)

:Yes, that's correct. If a {{T|Fighting}} move does 30 damage, a {{T|Electric}} move of the same strength (after figuring effects caused by the stats of the attacking Pokémon) is used on Skarmory, it would cause about 120 damage.[[User:User142|User142]] 01:40, 23 November 2005 (CST)

==Tail==

Maybe I'm just crazy, but Skarmory's tail looks a lot like a bottle opener, like this one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Opened_Waiters.JPG. Does anyone agree with me and/or think this should be added to the physiology section? [[User:Zell65|Zell65]] 06:46, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

It kinda does. Not enough to be put in the Physiology section though. {{unsigned|Asujoll}}

I agree, and I think this should be at least noted somewhere. -Sabre_Justice {{unsigned|Sabre Justice}}

==shark==

anyone notice that his head looks like a shark fin?[[User:Ultamatecharizard|Ultamatecharizard]] 17:31, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

== Fanlist link ==

Geocities is permanently down, so that "Skarmory fanlist" link is completely useless. I'd remove it myself if the page weren't in lockdown mode. --[[User:HeroicJay|HeroicJay]] 23:07, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Removed. --[[User:Hiroshiyo|Hiroshiyo]] 14:59, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

== Name Origin ==
Skarmory's name comes from Sky and Armory, as many agree, but Skarmory is possibly based on the word "Scar" as well, people. Skar is basically the same word when said, and if it was named Skymory then it would still have the same meaning as currently stated, so the difference of Skarmory must have the addition of "Scar".

My point being that it's name origin should mention scar as a possibility.
[[User:Frushil!|Frushil!]] 12:06, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

== Tail Changes ==

Is Skarmory's tail losing one of the blades between Gold and Silver and later games important enough to be added? ----[[User:Valkyria|Valkyria]] ''([[User talk:Valkyria|Talk]])'' 20:50, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
:I was just about to point that out, but you were four months faster than me. But yes, I agree, that's a very significant design change, regardless of the no-sprite-trivia rule. --[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|IWannaBeTheVeryBest]] 09:40, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
::No, unless it was in its original artwork (like Stantlers tail, or Venemoth's spots), which it isnt, it is not notable, as they {{p|Koffing|commonly}} {{p|Nosepass|screw up}} {{p|Mankey|the sprites}} {{p|Exeggcute|in the games}}.'''X'''[[User:Vuvuzela2010|'''Vuvuzela2010''']]'''X''' 11:19, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

It's head, neck, and chest rings make it look like an automobile's gear shift & boot (the wrinkly rubber covering the stick goes in). {{unsigned|Tesseract}}
:That's an opinion, and no it doesn't [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 05:58, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

== Minor note about anime Pokedex ==

The anime Pokedex entry in the article uses the word "priors" which doesn't make sense. I'd edit it myself, but I don't watch the show, so I'll simply suggest that the correct word is probably "briers" and leave it to someone who actually heard the entry on the show to make the correction, if applicable. --[[User:The Almighty Doer of Stuff|The Almighty Doer of Stuff]] 18:58, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
:you're right... that doesn't sound right. Feel free to fix it. The page isn't locked. -[[User:Sketch|Sketch]] 19:03, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
::I'll get on it. I'm loading up the episode now. I probably just heard it wrong. [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 19:38, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

== Gligar as counterpart ==
Why is it again in the Trivia? I see way more differences between them than similarities. Most obvious and notable is that {{p|Gligar}} has an evolution, while Skarmory hasn't. Their BST and rarity are completely different. They are 20 Pokemon away from each other in dex. {{p|Mantine}} is obviously Skarmory's parallel. I don't think pokemon can have two counterparts. --[[User:ЫъГЬ|ЫъГЬ]] 15:02, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
:Pinsir {{p|Scyther|has}} {{p|heracross|two}}. Also, Gligar didn't evolve at the time of Gold and Silver. Mantine isnt found anywhere near Skarmory's location, which is rare for a Version counterpart, though not unheard of. Having said that, those four (Gligar, Mantine, Delibird, and Skarmory) are harder to determine which one is a counterpart to one of the others. '''X'''[[User:Vuvuzela2010|'''Vuvuzela2010''']]'''X''' 15:11, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
::On a related note, while both trivia's on this page are correct, I've hidden the ones on Delibird's & Mantine's pages about them being counterparts to each other until I look ito it more, as they may only be parallel by default. '''X'''[[User:Vuvuzela2010|'''Vuvuzela2010''']]'''X''' 20:26, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

== Request: Ruby in Metric. ==

I am very unfamilar with the metric system (heck, I'm in Kentucky) and we need the Ruby entry show the metric system for our good friends outside of the US. -[[User:?????]]

== Manga Typing ==

In Pokemon Adventures, Professor Oak states that Skarmory will be considered Steel-type after the type is revealed to the public. He groups it with Magnemite and Magneton as Pokemon that will "now" be considered Steel-types. Should it be noted that in the manga, Skarmory was not originally considered a Steel-type? [[User:Pokemega32|Pokemega32]] 06:33, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

== Trivia ==

Skarmory is harder to catch than Dialga, Palkia, Zekrom, and Reshiram(I'm not sure if there are more or not). Is this noteworthy enough to be put into trivia?--[[User:Zichqec|Zichqec]] ([[User talk:Zichqec|talk]]) 03:29, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
:No, its not notable. It occurs with many Pokemon. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 03:30, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

== Skarmory holding Metal Coat ==

Skarmory can hold a Metal Coat in ORAS. I would add it to the page myself, but does anyone know the percent chance? [[User:Partone|Partone]] ([[User talk:Partone|talk]]) 15:45, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

:''This article is about Pokémon, also known as Pocket Monsters, as a series. For other uses of the words, see [[Pokémon (disambiguation)]]''.
----
[[File:Pokémon logo English.png|250px|thumb|International logo of the Pokémon franchises]]
'''Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター''' ''Pocket Monsters'', '''ポケモン''' ''Pokémon'' for short) is an overarching media franchise owned by [[Nintendo]], [[Creatures, Inc.]], and [[Game Freak]]. First appearing in 1996 with the release of its [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|first entries]] on the [[Game Boy]], the [[core series|game series]] has since inspired an array of media, including an [[Pokémon anime|anime]], a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|card game]], numerous {{pkmn|manga}}, and various [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off]] games.

The series focuses on the creatures known as {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, as well as their inhabited {{Pkmn|world}}, full of legends, tales, and adventures. Several [[canon|interpretations]] of the world explore different themes and elements. Most commonly, Pokémon coexist with [[human]]s and can be {{Pkmn2|caught}}, [[Pokémon training|trained]], and used in {{Pkmn|battle}}s and other activities. {{Pkmn|Trainer}}s, along with their Pokémon, travel across diverse [[region|lands]] aiming to make their dreams become reality.

==Etymology==
[[File:RedGreenMenu.png|frame|The Game Boy's limited screen forced short words.]]
Much as happens with many other {{wp|wasei-eigo|words and phrases borrowed from English}}, the Japanese name for the series, Pocket Monsters, became contracted into "Pockemon" during the development of the original games, likely as much for convenience when referring to it as to save on screen real estate, considering the small size of the [[Game Boy]]'s screen. The official romanization of "Pockemon" at this time was derived from the contraction of '''Pocke'''t and '''Mon'''ster, and can be seen explicitly in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', even in the dub.

The "Pokémon" name used today came about during the translation of the games for an English audience during 1997 and 1998. Whereas in Japan, Pocket Monsters was easily able to be trademarked, the release in America would prove difficult had this name been used, due to the unrelated {{wp|Monster in My Pocket}} franchise. Thus, an alternate romanization of the contraction was used, with an {{wp|Acute accent#English|acute accent}} over the e to indicate its specific pronunciation, ''poh-kay-mohn''. Despite this issue, however, the fact that Pokémon is short for Pocket Monsters has been referenced in English, with an NPC in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} asking the player what Pokémon is short for after thinking about the name of the [[Pokétch]], itself a contraction, as well as on the back of the DVD set containing the [[M01|first]], [[M02|second]], and [[M03|third]] {{pkmn|movie}}s.

==Franchise==
{{main|History of Pokémon}}
Pokémon, as a series, was originally conceived by [[Satoshi Tajiri]] as a way to instill in children of the modern, more urbanized Japan the same enjoyment that he felt as a young boy collecting insects and other bugs near his hometown of {{wp|Machida, Tokyo|Machida}}. Initially called [[Capsule Monsters]], or CapuMon for short, Tajiri pitched the series to Nintendo after being inspired by the [[Game Link Cable]]; he pictured an insect crawling across it between two Game Boy systems.
[[File:Spr 1g 006.png|frame|{{p|Charizard}}'s Red and Green sprite]]
With help from [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], the series began development, with the concepts of the original games, {{game|Red and Green|s}}, going into production between 1990 and 1995. At last, in early 1996, the first games in the series were released in Japan, and Tajiri's dream had become reality. Compared to other games of its time, Pokémon was very limited, with comparatively poor graphics and sound. The series was an overnight success though, and Red and Green were quickly followed by an upgraded [[third version]], {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}}.

An {{pkmn|anime}} was produced, with the intention of covering the journey players took through the [[Kanto]] region in the games over the course of a year and a half. About halfway through this run, tragedy struck and [[EP038|an episode]] of the anime was found to be responsible for {{wp|epileptic seizure}}s in more than 600 children due to a flashing strobe effect. No one died of these seizures, and after a brief hiatus to address the problem, the anime returned to the air to complete the Kanto run.

Encouraged by the games' success in Japan and their upcoming release in the United States, [[Game Freak]] began development on sequels to them. Rather than releasing the sequels immediately, however, Game Freak instead chose to draw from the story of the anime (which differed from the games in that its protagonist was given a {{p|Pikachu}} instead of the standard [[starter Pokémon]] received in [[Red]], [[Green]], and [[Blue]]) and created a fourth game, {{game|Yellow||Special Pikachu Edition}}, to buy some more time for development on the announced sequels.

Several {{pkmn|manga}} series were also produced in this early period, including [[Pokémon Adventures]], which Tajiri has stated is closest to his original idea of the {{pkmn|world}} the series takes place in.

The much-awaited sequels were released in 1999 in Japan and 2000 in the US. {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} revamped the Pokémon world, bringing it into full color, introducing one hundred new Pokémon and addressing many of the issues that had been present in the original games. For example, two new [[type]]s were introduced to address type imbalances. The anime, manga, and other aspects of the franchise followed suit, bringing their characters into the [[Generation II|second generation]].

Even after the initial worldwide hype for the series died down, the Pokémon franchise remained strong. A third version was produced for Generation II, focusing on the legendary Pokémon {{p|Suicune}}. With {{game|Crystal}}, a female player character was finally introduced, and the games became fully dependent on the [[Game Boy Color]], abandoning the now long-outdated [[Game Boy]]. A [[third generation]] was announced for the new [[Game Boy Advance]], and at least among fans, the hype returned.

Despite this, when {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} were initially released many people considered them, and Generation III in general, a disappointment. {{an|Misty}}, {{Ash}}'s longtime companion in the anime, left the show and a new girl {{an|May}} joined him. Although 135 new Pokémon were introduced, the games, unlike the Generation II games, were completely incompatible with their predecessors, making 184 of the 251 previously released Pokémon unobtainable without [[cheating]]. This issue was addressed with the unprecedented release of [[remake]]s of the original pair of games, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, which included many of the Pokémon missing from Ruby and Sapphire. In addition, a third version, {{game|Emerald}}, was released and introduced the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} and many other features that would be enjoyed by those who battled Pokémon competitively.

Much like the previous generations, the [[Generation IV|fourth generation]] was highly anticipated. {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, released in 2006 in Japan and 2007 in the US, received much praise. These games brought with them many enhancements from Emerald, and for the first time, Pokémon could be played online to battle against and trade with other players across the world. This generation was also noted for introducing the [[physical move|physical]]/[[special move|special]] damage category split, another improvement which would be enjoyed by those who battled Pokémon competitively. 107 new Pokémon were added as well, bringing the total to 493.

With the precedent set by the earlier release of remakes for the original pair of games, this generation saw much speculation for a remake of the now-outdated Generation II games, and hidden data in the games seemed to indicate that remakes were planned. A third version, {{game|Platinum}}, was released two years after Diamond and Pearl. Due to this, as well as the delay in the release, many became discouraged that the remakes would never come. However, after five years of speculation, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} were finally released in 2009 in Japan and in 2010 elsewhere.
[[File:Spr 5b 006.png|frame|{{p|Charizard}}'s Black and White sprite]]
The [[Generation V|fifth generation]] of the franchise constituted a "reboot" similar to that of the third. The highly anticipated {{game|Black and White|s}} were set far away from the previous games in a region based on {{wp|New York City}} called [[Unova]]. Initially in the game, only the 156 new Pokémon introduced in this generation were available before beating the [[Pokémon League]], forcing veteran players to rethink old strategies. The games did have the capacity to connect to older games, however, and maintained the international connectivity introduced in the fourth generation. The anime series, [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|trading card game]] and manga series also embraced the new generation with releases of tie-in media. Breaking the traditional format, Black and White were followed by two direct sequels, [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2]] which included many Pokémon from different regions.

Another reboot occured with the [[Generation VI|sixth generation]] games [[Pokémon X and Y]] in 2013, marking the first time a pair of Pokémon games was released simultaneously worldwide. The games introduced many new features such as a fully 3D world including 3D models for every Pokémon, [[Mega Evolution]], a new Pokémon type, improved [[Player Search System|online features]], [[Trainer customization]], [[Pokémon-Amie]] and new battle styles. {{wp|France}}, the basis of the in-game [[Kalos]] region, was chosen partly because French culture is known for its art and beauty - the main theme of the game. Super Training, another new feature introduced, offered a simple way to monitor a Pokémon's [[EV]]s. New ways to improve the player's chance of finding [[Shiny Pokémon]] were also introduced, such as the introduction of chain fishing and [[Horde Encounter]]s, as well as the return of Generation IV's [[Poké Radar]]. With the addition of 72 new Pokémon, the total as of Generation VI is 721.

Although the release of remakes skipped a generation (Generation V was the first generation since Generation II not to include remakes of previous games), Generation VI saw the release of {{game|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|s}}, collectively referred to as "ORAS" by fans, in 2014 in all regions. In addition to being remakes of the Generation III games, ORAS included new Mega Evolutions and the ability to capture many of the [[Legendary Pokémon|legendary Pokémon]] from previous generations that were unobtainable in X and Y.

==Creatures==
{{main|Pokémon (species)}}
The creatures themselves, based on various plants, animals, and other concepts, inhabit virtually every corner of the {{pkmn|world}}, no matter which canon's interpretation is seen. Many make their homes in forests and on rural [[route]]s stretching across the various regions, while still others are native to cities and other urban centers. Currently, there are {{numpkmn}} known Pokémon.

Typically, Pokémon that are owned by a person are kept in [[Poké Ball]]s, which allow for them to be quickly sent into battle or to perform a task, but keep them safe and make them easier to transport, with the balls being typically able to fit into a pocket. HeartGold and SoulSilver have the lead Pokémon out of their Poké Balls. Many Pokémon owned by Trainers, however, choose to remain outside of their Poké Ball, and travel with their Trainer [[walking Pokémon|on foot]].

Pokémon begin their lives by hatching from {{pkmn|Egg}}s, and many of them will [[Evolution|evolve]] to grow stronger and larger during the course of their lives. Pokémon are not immortal, as can be seen from the Pokémon gravesites found in [[Lavender Town]], [[Mt. Pyre]], the [[Lost Tower]], and the [[Celestial Tower]]. Though their abilities far surpass those of normal animals, Pokémon are not immortal as those who do not follow the series as closely may deduce.

Many Pokémon are much more powerful than others, and some, due to this, have [[legendary Pokémon|passed into legends]] that are told in the Pokémon world. It has not been consistently illustrated whether or not these Pokémon really do have the power that their legends state, though the general consensus is that, in the wild, a Pokémon's abilities are truly those of the legends, while a Trainer who captures one in a Poké Ball will limit its strength.

Pokémon may be influenced by the Japanese folklore of {{wp|yōkai}}, special creatures with strange abilities, sometimes even created from inanimate objects.

==Full restore...==
Have you noted that when anyone uses a full restore in his/her pokemon, the foe's attack then does more damage? I noted this in firered: if I can't 1-HitKO the rival's pokemon (leaving less than 1/4 HP), he'll use one and then my attack will do more damage, and it may be 1-hitKO, not nessesarily being critical hit. [[User:Hfc2x|Hfc2x]] 20:37, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

:That's probably just the luck of the {{wp|Random number generation|RNG}}. You may notice that the same Pokémon may not do the exact same damage with an attack like {{m|Water Gun}} each time. For example, one use could do 50 damage, then another could do 43 damage on the same target with the same stat setups. That's because there's one variable that chooses a random number to figure into the damage. The random number could have been low prior to the Full Restore, then high afterward. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 20:42, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

::Ok. I think the Full Restore makes high numbers more frequent, cause it happens frequently. please check it out. maybe it's just luck. =) [[User:Hfc2x|Hfc2x]] 02:35, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
:::Nah, it just seems to, because usually if you get them to use a Full Restore their Pokémon's nearly gone anyway. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 03:57, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

'''Team Flare''' (Japanese: '''フレア{{tt|団|だん}}''' ''Flare-dan'', literally ''Flare Gang'') is the [[Villainous teams|villainous team]] in the [[Kalos]] region.

==In the games==
===In Pokémon X and Y===
{{spoilers}}
Team Flare appears in {{pkmn|X and Y}}. Their goal is to create a "beautiful and better" world while making money, eliminating everyone who does not follow their standards.

They are first encountered in [[Glittering Cave]], where they attempt to steal [[fossils]] off the researcher working there, but are stopped by the {{player}} and {{ga|Serena}}/{{ga|Calem}}. This occurs without the researcher noticing. They next appear in a scene in {{rt|10|Kalos}}, examining the mysterious rock formation. The grunt defeated in Glittering Cave challenges the player to a rematch.

In [[Geosenge Town]], they are seen examining the rock formations there, when a grunt is encountered by the player and tries to flee. Once he is followed, there appears to be an entrance to a cavern which has been blocked off. This is later revealed to be [[Team Flare Secret HQ]].

On {{rt|13|Kalos}}, it is revealed that a problem inside the [[Kalos Power Plant]] is responsible for the blackout in [[Lumiose City]], which is preventing the player from accessing the majority of the city, including the [[Lumiose City Gym]]. A Team Flare Grunt outside the Power Plant drops a {{key|VI|Power Plant Pass}}, which the player uses to enter the building. Inside the building, a {{tc|Team Flare Admin}} and Team Flare Scientist [[Aliana]] are siphoning electricity from the Power Plant, causing the blackout. Once they are defeated, the player can progress to Lumiose City.

At [[Laverre City]], Team Flare Grunts are blocking the player from entering {{rt|15|Kalos}} and the [[Poké Ball Factory]] until the player has defeated the [[Laverre City Gym]] and received the {{Badge|Fairy}}. At that point {{ga|Shauna}} tricks the Grunt guarding the Poké Ball Factory away so the player and {{ga|Serena}}/{{ga|Calem}} can enter. Although the player defeats them, the Team Flare Scientists are able to steal many of the Poké Balls, with the exception of the [[Master Ball]].

In [[Frost Cavern]], a trainer's {{p|Mamoswine}}, which the player needs to traverse the snow-blocked {{rt|17|Kalos}}, is upset. Upon reaching the depths of the Cavern, Team Flare, led by [[Mable]], are antagonizing an {{p|Abomasnow}}. Once she has been defeated, the Abomasnow gives the player an {{DL|Mega Stone|Abomasite}}, and the player is now able to traverse Route 17 on the Mamoswine.

Team Flare does not appear again until the player has received their seventh badge from the [[Anistar City Gym]], where [[Lysandre]] reveals that he is the leader of Team Flare, and sends out a live broadcast to all trainers around Kalos via the Holo Caster. During the broadcast, Lysandre reveals Team Flare's plans of using the "ultimate weapon", a machine built by the [[AZ|king of Kalos]] 3,000 years ago that can eliminate all life. To achieve this, Lysandre plans to use {{p|Xerneas}}{{sup/6|X}}/{{p|Yveltal}}{{sup/6|Y}} to activate the machine in [[Lysandre Labs]] in [[Lumiose City]].

Lysandre Labs' secret entrance is located inside {{DL|Lumiose City|Lysandre Café}}, where Lysandre greets the player with a battle, before moving to the basement. Once the player reaches the basement, he is revealed to have imprisoned AZ, who tells the player the history of the ultimate weapon. The player then encounters [[Xerosic]] in conversation with Lysandre, whereupon Lysandre promises to deactivate the weapon if the player defeats Xerosic. However, despite this promise, Xerosic still activates the weapon by remote control, even if the player manages to switch off the weapon. The weapon, situated in [[Geosenge Town]], activates from the three {{wp|menhir}}s in the center of the town.

The player then enters the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]], to the Northwest of the town, which was previously blocked. After battling Lysandre, the player, with the help of Calem/Serena and Shauna, make their way down to the legendary Pokémon. The player encounters the legendary Pokémon, and after battling {{p|Xerneas}}{{sup/6|X}}/{{p|Yveltal}}{{sup/6|Y}}, Lysandre challenges the player to one last battle, After being defeated for the third and final time, Lysandre expresses his disgust towards the fact that his beautiful world will never be a reality. The player and his/her friends attempt to reason with him, saying that if people cooperate together, a better world is possible, and they use the Mega Evolution achieved by him as proof of the bond he has with his Pokémon. He, however, rejects the idea as mere naivety and then attempts to force immortality on the player and their friends{{sup/6|X}}/destroy everyone in the building{{sup/6|Y}} and fires the ultimate weapon using what little power still remains. The blast from the weapon destroys it and buries Lysandre and the HQ under rubble. As a result, Team Flare disbands. It is unknown what becomes of Lysandre afterwards.

Despite the collapse of Team Flare, however, the player encounters them once more. After defeating the [[Diantha|Champion]], during the main post-game side story, [[Looker]] arrives in Lumiose City with the intent of apprehending a criminal he is tracking, enlisting the player and a young homeless girl named [[Emma]] to aid him. A crime wave breaks out in the city, and the culprit is ultimately revealed to be one of Team Flare's scientists, [[Xerosic]], conducting an experiment using what little funds he still has following the disbanding of Team Flare. After the player defeats "Essentia," the creation of his project, Xerosic relents and surrenders to Looker, ending Team Flare's reign of terror once and for all.

[[Elite Four]] member [[Malva]] is also a member of Team Flare; however, she is not revealed to be with them until after Lysandre is defeated. Instead, she is the host of the newscasts occasionally sent through the [[Holo Caster]]. Her rank in Team Flare is unknown, although she knows classified information.

==In the anime==
Team Flare debuted in the anime in ''[[SS029|Mega Evolution Special I]]'' with Lysandre's appearance. He was seen monitoring [[Alain]]'s [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{p|Charizard}}'s energy levels during its Mega Evolution from a laboratory, and was apparently pleased with the result.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Team Flare appear as the main antagonists of the {{chap|X & Y}}. The four Scientists first appear seeking to steal {{adv|X}}'s [[Key Stone|Mega Ring]] with various schemes, but are thwarted several times. Lysandre also made an appearance with Professor Sycamore, acquiring a video file of Xerneas and Yveltal for his research.

==Trivia==
* Many of Team Flare's targets share notable similarities with [[Team Rocket]]'s targets: a cave where a regional [[Fossil]] can be obtained ([[Glittering Cave]] and [[Mt. Moon]]), a [[Poké Ball]]-producing facility where the [[Master Ball]] can be obtained ([[Poké Ball Factory]] and [[Silph Co.]]), a Pokémon [[Template:Burial ground|burial ground]] ({{rt|10|Kalos}} and [[Pokémon Tower]]), the regional [[Power Plant]] ([[Kalos Power Plant]] and [[Kanto Power Plant]]), and a location where experiments involving in agitating a {{p|Abomasnow|certain}} [[Red Gyarados|Pokémon]] are conducted ([[Frost Cavern]] and [[Lake of Rage]]).

Talk:Hoopa (Pokémon)

2015-02-02T12:45:04Z

Partone: /* Confined Hoopa is only a head? */

==ORAS entries==
I think they've actually changed (unless Formes have separate entries :P), since [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPcLdq7Ilk8&list=UU0A_Jk_KqFcwnEBtyNqolsA this]. Probably because of the new Forme. [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 12:54, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
:I have already updated it. thanks for the help in editing!:)[[User:Phiraptor28|Phiraptor28]] ([[User talk:Phiraptor28|talk]]) 10:26, 15 December 2014 (UTC)

== Hoopa Confined's Description ==

You must have been looking at the old art (http://www.deviantart.com/art/Hoopa-410943259) that influenced a lot of people before we could actually get a clear shot of Hoopa. This is a more accurate look at it (http://www.deviantart.com/art/Hoopa-v-2-477350821). Of note, it doesn't have claws on its hands; they're more like mittens. [[User:Alxprit|Alxprit]] ([[User talk:Alxprit|talk]]) 21:08, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

== Japanese Name ==

Hoopa's name in Japanese is フーパ (''Fūpa''), though you probably know this already. [[User:LittleOmu|LittleOmu]] ([[User talk:LittleOmu|talk]]) 05:58, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
:See [[User_talk:Phiraptor28/Hoopa (Pokémon)#In other_languages|here]] on the user page. The Japanese is already there, though the ''Fūpa'' part is not. I will leave that to someone else to determine adding, though I believe it can be. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 06:45, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
::Fūpa is a transliteration of the katakana. The katakana is a transliteration of Hoopa. Therefore, the Japanese name is Hoopa. [[User:Pikachu Bros.|Pikachu Bros.]] ([[User talk:Pikachu Bros.|talk]]) 18:34, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
:::That's not what I meant... On the right side of the page, where the template for the Pokémon information is located, the kana reads シェイミ (''Sheimi'') instead of フーパ (''Fūpa''). [[User:LittleOmu|LittleOmu]] ([[User talk:LittleOmu|talk]]) 07:15, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
::::I'm sorry guys 'coz I copied Shaymin's template to create this page... I'll edit it right away. Thanks to all! [[User:Phiraptor28|Phiraptor28]] ([[User talk:Phiraptor28|talk]]) 13:42, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

== Prev/Next Bar ==

Guys, please don't change Bulbasaur into Volcanion. Hoopa is going to be released maybe in the next two months, for he's involved in teleporting the [[Weather trio]] to [[Kalos]]. Volcanion will not be released '''simultaneously''' with Hoopa. When Bulbapedia puts this page into the mainspace, Volcanion still won't be in "official" existence. This would yet always end up like this. Even though we know Volcanion exists, he is yet to be acknowledged by Nintendo. So:

{{PokémonPrevNextHead | species=Hoopa | prev=Diancie | next=Bulbasaur | prevnum=719 | nextnum=001 | type=psychic | type2={{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: i}} mod 2}}|0=Ghost|1=Dark}}}}

But then, as you see in my [[User:Phiraptor28/Volcanion_(Pokémon)|Volcanion page]], this would be the only instance that Hoopa and Bulbasaur's pages would be linked together. If Hoopa is revealed, the PrevNext Bar would be 719 - '''720''' - 001. If Volcanion is revealed, it would be 720 - '''721''' - 001. In layman's term, '''DO NOT EDIT THE PREVNEXT BAR TO SOON'''. I hope you bear with me. :) [[User:Phiraptor28|Phiraptor28]] ([[User talk:Phiraptor28|talk]]) 13:53, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

== Hiding Unbound information ==

As I'm sure this article will be mainspaced soon, I'm wondering whether or not the Unbound information should be hidden? Seeming Volcanion (and Hoopa until now) don't have mainspaced pages because of their unofficially revealed status, that the Unbound information should be omitted because its basically in the same boat as Volcanion. I'm absolutely certain the Unbound forme will be officially revealed before July, but still, the fact remains until then it's not officially released information until then. --[[User:S2daam|--samm :D]] 15:10, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

I agree with this because a lot of Diancie's information was also hidden last year until more information was officially announced and it eventually became obtainable in an official event. [[User:Water Max|Water Max]] ([[User talk:Water Max|talk]]) 13:19, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

:I agree as well. Hoopa's unbound form has not been officially revealed by Nintendo yet (to my knowledge), so I don't think we should have it on this page. [[User:ShermTank7272|ShermTank7272]] ([[User talk:ShermTank7272|talk]]) 18:50, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

== Forme names ==

Is it "Hoopa Confined" and "Hoopa Unbound", or "Confined Forme" and "Unbound Forme"? This article uses them interchangeably, which is incorrect. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 15:16, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
:I'm not sure if it'll help, but in the ORAS text dump, the file that has things like "Altered Forme", "Overcast Form", and "Mega Diancie" also has "Hoopa Confined" and "Hoopa Unbound" (in that relative order). [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 15:26, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
:::It is really '''Hoopa Confined''' or '''Hoopa Unbound'''. As you see, I already put the forme names in the head section of the page, even at the first time I created this. The problem that ''Confined Forme'' and ''Unbound Forme'' came to existence is because when I was creating the infobox (and the evolution section), I learned that the coding of Bulbapedia's Infobox does not recognize the proper order of the names of Hoopa's forme differences; which is because of the previous Pokémon with forme differences, but '''the''' '''''"forme"''''' ''in their formes go'' '''''after''''' '''their forme name.''' Examples are such as ''Sky Forme Shaymin''. Otherwise it would be ''Shaymin Sky'', if we follow Hoopa's format. [[User:Phiraptor28|Phiraptor28]] ([[User talk:Phiraptor28|talk]]) 06:49, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
::::That's a false equivalence. Just because Hoopa is done this way does not at all mean Shaymin or anything else is "wrong" or contradicted. (Until I can have Hoopa in my own game or see some official (English) usage, I can't offer a real opinion on whether the current way is right or wrong, but I would hazard that it's right.) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 07:02, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

== The Djinn Pokemon ==

If you read the OR/AS PokeDex Entries with Hoopa Confined as the Forme shown, it displays "Mischief" as it did in X/Y. However, if Unbound is selected when viewing this page, it's called "Djinn" instead. Does any other Pokemon with a Forme Change ever change their [[Species]] name whenever viewed differently in the PokeDex as such? [[User:Shiramu Kuromu|Shiramu Kuromu]] ([[User talk:Shiramu Kuromu|talk]]) 13:24, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

:As far as I can tell, no. Also considering that Hoopa is the only Generation VI Pokémon with unique Pokédex entries in ORAS whereas every other Gen VI Pokemon just reuses theirs from X/Y. [[User:Superjustinbros.|Superjustinbros.]] ([[User talk:Superjustinbros.|talk]]) 21:05, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

== Is Hoopa The New Pixie? ==

Y'know, the small, cute, "fairy"-looking legendary with 600 BST like Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, Manaphy, Shaymin and Victini (I consider Uxie, Azelf and Mesprit honorary Pixies because they look a lot like pale Mew with helmets, and they have similar sizes to the rest of the pixies, but they don't have 600 BST's)?
Hoopa would also be the first Pixie Legendary to not have an equal 100/100/100/100/100/100 spread, and the second to have an item-linked Forme change after Shaymin (who has both Land and Sky).
And the first to have slight involvement in a game's storyline since Mew (both are directly alluded to in their respective games.

:"Small" is subjective, "cute" and "'fairy'-looking" are opinionated, and "600 BST" is a trait shared by a TON of Mythical Pokémon beyond just those six, meaning that the only ''factual'' relation between specifically them is that they are all Mythical and have straight-100 stats. Hoopa is Mythical, but since it doesn't meet the ''only'' other criterium, it doesn't qualify, so rather than being considered "the only Pixie not to have straight-100 stats," I would just not call it a Pixie. Please remember that this has to all be fact-based, so we can't just categorize Pokémon based on similar appearances - if Hoopa counted as a pixie despite not having straight-100 stats, then wouldn't Diancie and even Darkrai also have to? They also have BSTs of 600 and are Mythical; they, ''like Hoopa,'' lack the straight-100 stats, but if Hoopa counts, there's no reason for them not to count. I don't think Hoopa can be grouped with the Pixies - we ''didn't'' count Diancie and Darkrai, did we? [[User:EpicDeino|EpicDeino]] ([[User talk:EpicDeino|talk]]) 11:45, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
::Subject? Likely. Either way, [[Appendix:Fan terminology#Cute Legendary Pokémon|we have a definition on the Appendix]]. (Though, they are not called Pixies.) --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 21:54, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
:::So is that a yes or a no? Hoopa seems to fit the entire definition in the Appendix aside from the 100 stat spread. --[[User:BlackButterfree|BlackButterfree]] ([[User talk:BlackButterfree|talk]]) 09:09, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

== Pokemon Infobox problem ==

Hoopa's forms don't work entirely right in the Pokemon infobox. Under the images, it says "Confined/Unbound Hoopa" instead of "Hoopa Confined/Unbound". This should be corrected somehow. (If I had to make a suggestion, my first would be to just create a special template. ...Which might also be useful for the handling the dual species names.) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 19:53, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
:I'm not sure I understand the problem. The same template used there, I think, is used for all Megas (see {{p|Altaria}} for instance). Once we have proper art for both forms and more than a magazine clipping, it'll make a lot more sense, I think. Right now, the text replaces an image that does not exist. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 19:58, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
::All right, based on your edit, I see what you mean now. I'm curious which one the game uses, as that's the one that we should prioritize to. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 20:09, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
:::...Do you? (See what I "mean".) Are you talking about species names (which is the thing I just edited), or form names? The species names are a complete tangent here. The form names are the real issue here, and are wrong as shown under the images (and this will not change when proper images are in place, or make any new "sense"; "Confined/Unbound Hoopa" is simply ''wrong''). [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 20:19, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
::::Um, yes. I "do". =P
::::What I mean, though, is what will the Pokédex use? When you receive it, it goes in the Pokédex, then you look at it, and it says either "The Mischief Pokémon" or "The Djinn Pokémon". Whichever one the Pokédex uses takes priority, though I'm not against prose that the other term is also used (I think we want to go away from tooltips for mobile users). [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 20:35, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
:::::I think the species names should pretty much stay entirely in the infobox. Even if the infobox never changes. I mean, the only way I can think of explaining it in prose just comes off as trivia. Ideally, though, the infobox should differentiate them better than the current solution. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 20:42, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
::::::It could be set up like the game locations box and allow for the variable "species2" or something like that.

== Possible name inspiration ==

In addition to the obvious "Hoop" part of its name, I think Hoopa could also be referencing OOPArts, or "out-of-place artifacts". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Out-of-place_artifact
It certainly fits with its theme of teleporting objects to seemingly random locations. [[User:Silverlucario|Frezgle (Silverlucario)]] ([[User talk:Silverlucario|talk]]) 03:32, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

:Hmm, seems like it [[User:Animaltamer7|Animaltamer7]]06:42, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
::No, I really don't think "''an object [...] found in a very unusual or seemingly impossible context that could challenge conventional historical chronology by being "too advanced" for the level of civilization that existed at the time, or showing "human presence" well before humans were supposed to exist''" is at all related to Hoopa. Just because Hoopa ''could'' be the cause does not at all mean it's reasonable. Until such a case is actually mentioned, you're theorizing on the consequences of Hoopa's habits much too far without real subtantiation (i.e., it's just a huge guess).

== Time travel description ==

This little sentence makes it seem as if the author was the time traveller:
'''It was officially revealed in the February 2015 issue of CoroCoro magazine on January 10, 2015.'''
Either the date is wrong, or it should be changed to either:
'''It will be officially revealed in the February 2015 issue of CoroCoro magazine.'''(as mentioning the date twice makes it sound weird)
or
'''It was officially revealed in the leaked February 2015 issue of CoroCoro magazine.'''

Talk:Lorelei

2015-01-23T22:30:59Z

Partone: /* Definition of Lorelei */

== Lorelei the Irish Street ==
Is the trivia note about a street in Bangor, Ireland really all that relevant. If the street was named after the character, then this trivia would be notable. However, it is almost 100% certain that street was named either after the rock in the Rhine known as Lorelei or Loreley, or else after the Rhine Maiden named after the rock. There could easily be many other streets with that name, and more likely, somewhere in Germany. The street name is irrelevant, and does not deserve a place in the trivia. If someone thinks otherwise, he or she can add it back in, but I'm removing it. [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 22:55, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
'

== Trivia ==

One of the Trivia items says that Lorelai is the only character to call an attack on another character in the in-game text. I could be wrong, but isn't there a moment in the GSC storyline where Lance orders his Dragonite to use Hyper Beam on a Rocket Grunt? I think it occurs in Mahogany Town, in the Rocket Hideout...

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure Lorelai isn't the only one to do it...
:No, she isn't so I removed it. Also, please sign your comments (even though I' have no real authori-tah...) [[User:The Dark Fiddler|Rawr I say!]] 21:55, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

== 3 syllables? ==

The way I pronounce Lorelei's name, there is only 2 syllables. "Loor-Lie." Is that the the reason 4Kids changed her name? Why couldn't they pronounce it like it seems like to me? [[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]] 02:00, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

:Technically, it's never been outright proven that syllable count is the reason for the Lorelei/Prima mixup in the anime. 4Kids says that's the reason, but they've also tried to use {{p|Jynx}} as a scapegoat as to why [[EP250|the Ice Cave episode]] has yet to air in America despite having been dubbed with zero valid reason at all (nobody in their right mind would buy any of the racist baloney floating around), meaning 4Kids could have simply said the Lorelei/Prima issue was over syllable count for the sake of having a reason...

:Anyway, {{g|Puzzle League}}, which does use the correct name from the handheld games despite its anime basis, does indeed pronounce her name with three syllables. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 02:07, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

:Silent E at the end of a word, not in the middle, generally speaking. Thus Loh-reh-lee. In English, if it had been intended as Loor-lee, it would have been spelled as Lorlei. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 02:42, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
::I always thought it was Lor-eh-li. Isn't that how the name is usually spelled with real life people? '''[[User:Blake|Blake]]''' [[User talk:Blake#top|Talk]]·[[Special:Contributions/Blake|Edits]] 03:09, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

== Trivia? ==

It says in the trivia that she is the only elite four to have their in-game home shown in the games. Do we consider Caitlin's Villa in Undella town her home? If so, this is not true. --[[User:Spenfen|SpenFen]] 21:16, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
:I thought Cynthia was the one with a villa in Undella town, not Caitlin... :--[[User:SuperAipom7|SuperAipom7]] ''([[User talk:SuperAipom7|Questions?]])'' 21:20, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
::No. It's not her home. It's something she's borrowing from Caitlin. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 21:25, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

== Dewgong's attack ==

I think that the move that Lorelei's Dewgong used in the anime was {{m|Ice Beam}}, not {{m|Aurora Beam}} (like the move article claims), because just take a look at these two images:
[[File:Cloyster Aurora Beam.png|150px|thumb|left|Cloyster's Aurora Beam]]
[[File:Lorelei Dewgong.png|150px|thumb|right|Dewgong's attack]]
They differ so much that I'm sure that Dewgong's attack was Ice Beam. Besides, if you look at the Ice Beam used by [[Dewgong (Cerulean Gym)|Cerulean Gym's Dewgong]] in [[EP061]], [[a:File:Dewgong Ice Beam.png|you can see]] that it is just like each other. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 08:12, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
:The difference between the two is obvious if you watch the episode. When Prima's Dewgong uses its attack, it is firing straight from its horn, instead of from an orb. Also, Prima's Dewgong's Aurora Beam has colors in it, as where Misty's Dewgong has only one: pale blue. [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 15:22, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

== Definition of Lorelei ==

I actually was reading a Reader's Digest issue and did the word power (definitions of words and trivia). One of the words was "Lorelei", which is defined as "a woman who sings with bewitching beauty". Another definition is that it's "a given female name". Notable trivia or not?
: This was already mentioned in the name origin section... Unless you just now added it. But I don't who you are, you didn't sign your post. [[User:Partone|Partone]] ([[User talk:Partone|talk]]) 22:30, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

'''Mossdeep City''' (Japanese: '''トクサネシティ''' ''Tokusane City'') lies on an island along the eastern edge of the [[Hoenn]] mainland. Many divers live at Mossdeep, and it is the fourth largest city in Hoenn. One of the city's attractions is {{p|Wailmer}} watching. A deep [[underwater]] trench runs between Mossdeep City and [[Sootopolis City]]. This cavern was found by [[Captain Stern]] in his [[Submarine Explorer 1|submarine]]. Mossdeep City has a [[Gym|Pokémon Gym]] whose [[Gym Leader]]s are [[Tate and Liza]].

The island of Mossdeep is covered in plants and flowers. Its weather is mainly sunny, and its winds are stable. This clear weather made Mossdeep the ideal location to build a space center to launch large rockets. In Mossdeep, there is a white rock which holds a special meaning to the people at the space center. They placed the rock outside of the space center as a symbol of their wish for their rockets to fly safely. After defeating the [[Elite Four]], the {{player}} can obtain a [[level]] 5{{sup/3|RSE}}/1{{sup/6|ORAS}} {{p|Beldum}} from {{Steven}}'s house.

Mossdeep City is the hub area of [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]'s [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Special Demo Version|Special Demo Version]].

North of Mossdeep is the [[Shoal Cave]], on {{rt|125|Hoenn}}. To the west is {{rt|124|Hoenn}}, and {{rt|127|Hoenn}} lies to the south.

==Places of interest==
===Mossdeep Space Center===
{{main|Mossdeep Space Center}}
Mossdeep was the ideal location to build a space center which launches huge rockets because of the stable weather conditions. The Space Center is successfully sending rockets into space. In {{v2|Emerald}}, the Space Center plays a big part in the plot, where [[Team Magma]] attempts to steal rocket fuel while a rocket begins to launch into space. On the second floor, the player will meet with Steven and battle two {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}s. The Space Center also plays a key role in the Delta Episode of {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.

===Steven's house===
The possibility of rare stones in the cavern has attracted the attention of [[Steven Stone]], who owns a cottage here where he keeps part of his rock collection. He will leave behind a rare {{p|Beldum}} after the player defeats the Elite Four. Steven will also give the player {{HM|08|Dive}} here in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}. In {{v2|Emerald}}, however, he will give the player [[HM08]] after defeating [[Team Magma]] at the [[Mossdeep Space Center|Space Center]]. In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], Steven's collection includes hornblende biotite granite from [[Rock Tunnel]], pitchstone from [[Mt. Mortar]], chert from [[Mt. Pyre]], schalstein from [[Mt. Coronet]] and greenschist from [[Chargestone Cave]].

===Secret Base boy===
The house east of the Pokémon Center houses a brother and sister. The boy likes to visit people's [[Secret Base]]s.

In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, the boy will tell the player where their [[Secret Base]] is located.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the boy tells the player that they can access additional areas in Secret Bases with [[Ornament#Other|Stairs]] and [[Solid Board]]s.

===Pokéblock enthusiast's house===
The house north of the Pokémon Center houses a couple. The man is a {{tc|Black Belt}} who is very enthusiastic about [[Pokéblock]]s.

In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, he will tell the player the preferred [[flavor|color]] of Pokéblock of the player's lead Pokémon.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, he serves no purpose, simply telling the player that their lead Pokémon likes them more than Pokéblocks.

===Backdoor house===
In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire and Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, these is an old man with a house with a door on the back wall.

In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, [[e-Reader]] Trainers will appear in the back room.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the old man mentions he used to be a {{tc|Secret Base Expert}}. If the player scans the QR Code of a special [[Secret Base]] (such as those of [[Junichi Masuda]], [[Shigeru Ohmori]], [[Shigeki Morimoto]], and [[Shōko Nakagawa]]), it will appear behind this door.

===Game Corner===
A Game Corner is located here in {{game|Emerald}}. It replaces the backdoor house from {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. It allows players to interact with {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and other copies of Emerald in two mini-games, [[Pokémon Jump]] and [[Dodrio Berry Picking]]. Connections are made with the [[Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter]].

===Shore===
In {{game|Emerald}}, there is a {{tc|Black Belt}} on the shore in the western part of the city who will teach a compatible Pokémon {{m|Dynamic Punch|DynamicPunch}} one time only.

===Mossdeep Gym===
{{main|Mossdeep Gym}}

==Demographics==
===Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire===
In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, the population of Mossdeep City is 45. Despite it being on an island in the middle of the sea, its population is fairly large, and it is [[Hoenn]]'s fourth most populous city.

===Pokémon Emerald===
In {{game|Emerald}}, the population of Mossdeep City is 52.

===Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire===
In {{game|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|s}}, the population of Mossdeep City is 45.

==Poké Mart==
In [[Generation III]], Mossdeep is the only location in Hoenn where the rare Net Ball and Dive Ball are sold. However, Dive Balls are also sold in [[Fallarbor Town]] in the remakes.

==Trivia==
* Mossdeep's Japanese motto is {{tt|「ポケモンをたいせつに！」があいことば|"Pokémon o taisetsu ni" ga aikotoba}} ''"Our slogan: Cherish Pokémon!"''
* In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, due to an oversight, below Steven's house there is an NPC that walks through a tree.
* Mossdeep City shares similarities with the real-world location [http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_Canaveral Cape Canaveral, Florida].

Pretty sure it says "the Pokémon ran away" if the player approaches it too fast. You know, with DexNav? [[User:Partone|Partone]] ([[User talk:Partone|talk]]) 13:54, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

Water (type)

2015-01-23T06:02:24Z

Partone: Grammar/wording

{{Types}}
The '''Water type''' (Japanese: '''みずタイプ''' ''Water type'') is one of the eighteen [[type]]s. Notable Trainers who specialize in the Water type include [[Misty]] of [[Cerulean City]], [[Juan]] of [[Sootopolis City]], [[Wallace]] the current [[Champion]] of [[Hoenn]], [[Crasher Wake]] of [[Pastoria City]], [[Cress]] former [[Gym Leader]] of [[Striaton City]], [[Marlon]] of [[Humilau City]], and [[Siebold]] of the [[Kalos]] [[Elite Four]]. Prior to [[Generation IV#Advances in gameplay|changes in Generation IV]], all Water-type moves were [[special move|special]], but they may now also be [[physical move|physical]] depending on the attack.

==Statistical averages==

}}

==Characteristics==
===Defense===
Defensively, the Water type is very strong when combined with high defensive stats. As every Water type, with the exception of {{p|Magikarp}} (and {{p|Rotom}} in its Wash form), can use {{type|Ice}} moves to counter {{t|Grass}} types (although Magikarp can learn one {{type|Flying}} move, {{m|Bounce}}, which can also counter Grass types), {{t|Electric}} types are the only true threat to Water types. That is not the case if the Pokémon in question have Abilities or subtypes that neutralize or nullifies this weakness. {{p|Quagsire}}, {{p|Swampert}}, {{p|Whiscash}}, {{p|Gastrodon}}, and {{p|Seismitoad}} are all immune, via their secondary type, Ground. Others, such as the {{p|Lanturn}} evolutionary line (which are also immune if they have the ability {{a|Volt Absorb}}), the {{p|Ludicolo}} evolutionary line, and {{p|Palkia}} have subtypes that are resistant to Electric.

Water types often have the most balanced attributes, usually coming with decent {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, and {{stat|Defense}} stats, but below average {{stat|Speed}}.

===Offense===
The Water type is also useful offensively. Water-type Pokémon can learn {{m|Ice Beam}} or {{m|Ice Punch}} to deal with {{t|Dragon}} and {{t|Grass}} types, which would make their resistance to Water-type attacks irrelevant. It can be extremely useful to be super-effective against {{t|Ground}} and {{t|Rock}} types when traveling through [[cave]]s, etc. As a result of these advantages, as well as having to get through water routes using {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Waterfall}}, and even {{m|Whirlpool}} or {{m|Dive}}, most Trainers usually have at least one Water type in their [[party]]. Also, double weaknesses to Water are fairly common (largely due to the common Rock/Ground typing), while there are only six Pokémon that have a double resistance to Water ({{p|Kingdra}}, {{p|Lotad}}, {{p|Lombre}}, {{p|Ludicolo}}, [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{p|Sceptile}}, and {{p|Palkia}}), all but one of which are Water types themselves.

===Contest properties===
In {{pkmn|Contest}}s, Water-type moves are typically {{OBP|Beauty|condition}} moves, but they can be from any other Contest type.

==Pokémon==
As of Generation VI, there are 124 Water-type Pokémon or 16.8% of all Pokémon (counting [[Form differences|forms]] and [[Mega Evolution]]s that change typing as different Pokémon), making it the most common of the eighteen types.

'''Sandstorm''' (Japanese: '''すなあらし''' ''Sandstorm'') is a non-damaging {{type|Rock}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation II]]. It has been [[TM37]] since Generation II.

==Effect==
===Generation II===
When this move is used a sandstorm will brew. This effect will last for 5 turns. This clears any other [[Weather conditions|weather effect]] and is usable when the weather is {{weather|sandstorm}}.

While Sandstorm is in effect, all Pokémon who are neither {{t|Steel}}-, {{t|Rock}}-, nor {{type|Ground}} will be damaged ⅛ of their maximum HP at the end of each turn. Pokémon in the semi-invulnerable turn of {{m|Dig}} will also not take damage from Sandstorm, regardless of type. Also, the moves {{m|Synthesis}}, {{m|Morning Sun}}, and {{m|Moonlight}} will recover only half as much HP as under clear conditions.

===Generation III===
The damage inflicted at the end of each turn is decreased to 1/16 of the Pokémon's maximum HP. Pokémon with the {{a|Sand Stream}} [[Ability]] invoke a semi-permanent sandstorm when entering battle. Pokémon with the {{a|Sand Veil}} Ability increase their {{Stat|evasion}} by 1 stage (25%) and are immune to Sandstorm's damaging effect. {{m|Moonlight}}, {{m|Synthesis}}, and {{m|Morning Sun}} now only restore ¼ of the user's maximum HP. {{m|Dive}} will also prevent damage from Sandstorm during the semi-invulnerable turn.

Additionally, {{m|Weather Ball}} becomes Rock-type. Sandstorm now fails when used while Sandstorm is in effect.

===Generation IV===
All Rock-type Pokémon will now have their {{stat|Special Defense}} raised by 50% for the duration of the sandstorm. Also, if a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Smooth Rock}} is held when Sandstorm is used, its duration is lengthened from 5 to 8 turns.

===Generation V===
Pokémon with the {{a|Sand Rush}} Ability have their {{Stat|Speed}} doubled, while Pokémon with {{a|Sand Force}} get a power boost of 30% for their Rock-, Ground- and Steel-type moves. Both of these Abilities grant an immunity to Sandstorm's damaging effect.

'''Vanillite''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''バニプッチ''' ''Vanipeti'') is an {{type|Ice}} Pokémon.

It [[evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Vanillish}} at [[level]] 35, which evolves into {{p|Vanilluxe}} at level 47.

==Biology==
[[File:Snowless Vanillite.png|thumb|left|170px|A "bald" Vanillite with a melted snow covering]]
Vanillite heads are covered with something resembling a swirled scoop of vanilla ice cream. Beneath this lies its actual head, which is made of the same icy material as its body. It has dark blue eyes, a dark-blue mouth, and light blue crystals on its cheeks. Its small body is adorned with specks of ice and has stubby arms. The snow on a Vanillite's head can melt with heat or repeated touching, leaving it with a "bald" appearance of simply an ice creature. In the Japanese Pokédex 4-coma, it becomes embarrassed if seen in this state. Vanillite can blow winds as low as {{tt|-58 degrees Farenheit|-50 degrees Celsius}}, which causes it to create ice crystals and make it snow in nearby areas when it exhales. It sleeps under snow and gains energy from the morning sun.

==In the anime==
[[File:Vanillite anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Vanillite in the anime.]]
===Major appearances===
A Vanillite first appeared in ''[[BW031|Ash and Trip's Third Battle!]]'' under the ownership of [[Trip]]. It was used to battle a wild {{p|Palpitoad}} and later it battled against [[Ash's Tepig]], where in the end they were both knocked out.

Two Vanillite were used by [[Dr. Ferrara's henchmen|Cryogonal Man's henchmen]] in ''[[BW057|The Mighty Accelguard to the Rescue!]]''.

A Vanillite appeared in ''[[BW125|Cilan and the Case of the Purrloin Witness!]]'' under the ownership of [[Teaque]]. It was used in the [[Marine Cup Tournament]] where it defeated [[Iris's Axew]] in the first round.

A Vanillite appeared in [[XY057]]. It has been separated from its parents, {{p|Vanillish}} and {{p|Vanilluxe}}, during their journey. This Vanillite has been taken care of by [[Nurse Joy]] in [[Coumarine City]].

===Minor appearances===
A Vanillite owned by [[Malin]] appeared in ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]''.

Talk:Volcanion (Pokémon)

2015-01-22T02:19:04Z

Partone: /* Artwork */

Hello. I found a page by [[User:Relicant/Note Pad|another user]] which contains some information you might want to consider for use in your article. --[[User:Tharja|Tharja]] ([[User talk:Tharja|talk]]) 22:09, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

== Learnset (Here and at Hoopa's) ==

Since you had a complete learnset, I hope you didn't mind my adding the Contest info for everything except Steam Eruption, which is not yet known. Same with Hyperspace Hole on the Hoopa page. I kept the switches on that one, so they should still function! [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 06:41, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
::Thanks for helping! But next time, please notify me before adding anything, especially because most of the Pokémon articles' movesets in the mainspace don't have Contest info. ;) I really appreciate your help! By the way, great work! [[User:Phiraptor28|Phiraptor28]] ([[User talk:Phiraptor28|talk]]) 13:57, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
:::The reason most don't have them is because people haven't gone, after a month, to do them unless it's ones they know or generally feel are important. As of last nite, every Hoenn species has FULL contest info (tended to that myself), and half of Kanto is now complete. As Ribose is currently taking care of that (excepting a typo of appeal or jam somewhere, that will be found with time if so), I've left the rest alone, having done TM lists for those with family in Hoenn already. I'm continuing with the regional starters as I type, then might move to the smaller Kalos or Sinnoh groups or the larger Unova group. Only thing I'm NOT doing is adding the ORAS column if there isn't already one (and that's generally there ATM with catchable and evolvable species, with exceptions). I did the Contest data here because I knew I was going to have a lot more of it complete by the time these go to the mainspace, and {{p|Diancie}}, {{p|Zygarde}}, {{p|Yveltal}}, and {{p|Xerneas}} I've already ensured are completed, meaning it'll fit in that way with the other legendaries. Just need those two missing moves someday. =)

:::I will ask about any other changes, but I likely will not have any other changes to make. I also did ask another active editor here, but never saw a response and wanted to clear the lists from my screen (the laptop I edited those lists on is now in the shop...again), so decided to be bold. LOL [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 15:18, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

== Page Deletion ==

Does this page need to be deleted because Volcanion has not officially been revealed yet? I thought that Bulbapedia was supposed to only include official information and therefore this page is not supposed to exist yet. I thought that is why when Hoopa's new form was found by hacking, Bulbapedia was locked for editing until some time after ORAS released. [[User:Water Max|Water Max]] ([[User talk:Water Max|talk]]) 13:13, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
:FWIW, staff moved it, so staff are more or less okay with it. As for the reasoning, you'll have to wait for one of them to respond. Though I suppose it's possible they could also change their mind (in which case it would just be moved back to its userspace origin, not deleted). [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 13:17, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
::You will note that I also [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Bulbasaur_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&diff=prev&oldid=2233023 reverted] the link being added at the {{p|Bulbasaur}} article before looking and seeing that it was in the mainspace, which told me staff was OK with it despite not being announced (Crystal Talian moved Volcanion to the mainspace). So I [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Bulbasaur_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&diff=next&oldid=2233023 reverted myself] upon seeing that. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 15:26, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
:::They could have just changed their minds. They did this with Mega Latios and Latias as well. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 19:18, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
::::Well, if it stays in the mainspace, it should at least be locked to editing until Volcanion is officially revealed. [[User:Adamws|Adamws]] ([[User talk:Adamws|talk]]) 19:21, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
:::::There's no need to lock it completely. Why assume there will be trouble? There are still protections from ''NOVEMBER 2013'' in place at {{p|Zygarde}} so that only established users can edit it; the reason was because the page was protected from creation at the time. Clearly it exists now and the protection hasn't been removed even though {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}} don't have this protection (and it should be removed). So why put on yearlong protection that someone might forget to nix? If something happens, lock it for a week, but most of the Pokémon world knows about their existence now and staff decided the article can be there, so why treat it differently? [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 21:33, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
:::::::I still think that it would be best to at least lock the page so that only established users can edit it. Vandalism on the site does happen. As for {{p|Zygarde}} still having the protection on it, I believe that it is there because of the moves Thousand Waves and Thousand Arrows possibly alluding to alternate forms for Zygarde. [[User:Adamws|Adamws]] ([[User talk:Adamws|talk]]) 23:42, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
::::::::Vandalism wouldn't get far - it gets spotted on Recent Changes, someone looks, it's reverted, and the situation handled. If it becomes a repetitive thing, then yes, protect the page temporarily. In this case, we have a good article going for it, and the protection for Zygarde (which has been in effect since 2013) was for page creation, and it's now created. Since Volcanion is created, it's a different protection request that I think we can delay putting in place. If someone adds something, we can find out if it's true and leave it or simply remove it. There won't be that many visitors, I think, looking to destroy the page; even so, it's easy to restore a prior revision. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 00:12, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
(resetting indent) Getting back to the original point here, can someone explain to me why it's okay now to make an article for Volcanion, yet it wasn't okay before? And if it's because the staff "changed their mind" about it, then why have we not made mention of Floette's unreleased alternate form yet (Eternal Flower)? And what about the unreleased moves (Light of Ruin, Thousand Arrows, Thousand Waves, Steam Eruption, Hyperspace Hole, and Hyperspace Fury)? Why does Volcanion get an exception to the "nothing in Gen 6 that's not officially confirmed" rule and nothing else does? It just feels strange. --[[User:GoldenSandslash15|GoldenSandslash15]] ([[User talk:GoldenSandslash15|talk]]) 01:06, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
:The moves are in userspace. They're not ready for mainspace use and are intended only for users who are assisting with the page to edit (not for general editing) until they are deemed ready. Volcanion's and Hoopa's pages were treated the same way and finally released. Volcanion's release surprised me, but there's enough information for it, so it's not a problem.
:See the following userspace pages I pulled from Recent Changes (as of 05:36:35 on January 12, all are in mainspace and links are updated):
:*[[Hyperspace Hole (move)‎|Hyperspace Hole]]
:*[[Light of Ruin (move)‎|Light of Ruin]]
:*[[Steam Eruption (move)‎|Steam Eruption]]
:*[[Thousand Arrows (move)‎|Thousand Arrows]]
:*[[Thousand Waves (move)‎|Thousand Waves]]
:As for the Floette, there are commented out sections referring to Eternal Flower Floette and AZ's Floette in the article. Even in the moveset you'll find Light of Ruin commented out because we can't be sure of it until it's ever released. I have a suspicion Z will bring it about, but we must wait. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 01:16, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
:GoldenSandslash15, I agree with your questioning simply because it leaves the links in the Learnset sections broken. I expected them to release "Hoopa (Pokémon)", then release "Hyperspace Hole (move)" or comment out the Learnset section. Then release "Volcanion (Pokémon)" and "Steam Eruption (move)" later when they are confirmed.

[Outdent] "Enough information for it"? None of it official, though, which is what I thought was the criterion for releasing the information to begin with. Not gonna lie, I'm a little disappointed in the admins for allowing this page to go up without at least sourcing the information so that releasing it was OK. [[User:Starscream|Starscream]] ([[User talk:Starscream|talk]]) 19:49, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
:I admit I was surprised at Volcanion coming out now as well, and I know at least one administrator who expressed the same view, but the only reason I can imagine what has been provided being released is that higher Bulbapedia staff got their hands on both species somehow and verified all of this information playing with them normally from Lv.1 (or had a reliable source - possibly the person whose userspace this was in before). If they could not do that, the information would not be out. Right now, they are researching Hyperspace Fury for Hoopa, and we need contest data for that and two other moves; that's the only thing missing in the tables barring future Events.
:That said, hopefully higher staff will post a response here to answer your question as I do not represent the staff in any facility. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 20:05, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
::The pages should have been moved a while back, but the staff only agreed to mainspace the pages after Hoopa was officially announced (not that there was a wait for that, just that it happening meant we needed a Hoopa page and used the one we already had). The fact that they have been moved now does not mean that we now have information we didn't have a week ago (although when they were first discovered they didn't qualify for articles, which is why it took so long). They're here now, and people should focus on fixing them now that they're in the mainspace, not worry about why it took so long.

'''Mossdeep City''' (Japanese: '''トクサネシティ''' ''Tokusane City'') lies on an island along the eastern edge of the [[Hoenn]] mainland. Many divers live at Mossdeep, and it is the fourth largest city in Hoenn. One of the city's attractions is {{p|Wailmer}} watching. A deep [[underwater]] trench runs between Mossdeep City and [[Sootopolis City]]. This cavern was found by [[Captain Stern]] in his [[Submarine Explorer 1|submarine]]. Mossdeep City has a [[Gym|Pokémon Gym]] whose [[Gym Leader]]s are [[Tate and Liza]].

The island of Mossdeep is covered in plants and flowers. Its weather is mainly sunny, and its winds are stable. This clear weather made Mossdeep the ideal location to build a space center to launch large rockets. In Mossdeep, there is a white rock which holds a special meaning to the people at the space center. They placed the rock outside of the space center as a symbol of their wish for their rockets to fly safely. After defeating the [[Elite Four]], the {{player}} can obtain a [[level]] 5{{sup/3|RSE}}/1{{sup/6|ORAS}} {{p|Beldum}} from {{Steven}}'s house.

Mossdeep City is the hub area of [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]'s [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Special Demo Version|Special Demo Version]].

North of Mossdeep is the [[Shoal Cave]], on {{rt|125|Hoenn}}. To the west is {{rt|124|Hoenn}}, and {{rt|127|Hoenn}} lies to the south.

==Places of interest==
===Mossdeep Space Center===
{{main|Mossdeep Space Center}}
Mossdeep was the ideal location to build a space center which launches huge rockets because of the stable weather conditions. The Space Center is successfully sending rockets into space. In {{v2|Emerald}}, the Space Center plays a big part in the plot, where [[Team Magma]] attempts to steal rocket fuel while a rocket begins to launch into space. On the second floor, the player will meet with Steven and battle two {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}s. The Space Center also plays a key role in the Delta Episode of {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.

===Steven's house===
The possibility of rare stones in the cavern has attracted the attention of [[Steven Stone]], who owns a cottage here where he keeps part of his rock collection. He will leave behind a rare {{p|Beldum}} after the player defeats the Elite Four. Steven will also give the player {{HM|08|Dive}} here in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}. In {{v2|Emerald}}, however, he will give the player [[HM08]] after defeating [[Team Magma]] at the [[Mossdeep Space Center|Space Center]]. In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], Steven's collection includes hornblende biotite granite from [[Rock Tunnel]], pitchstone from [[Mt. Mortar]], chert from [[Mt. Pyre]], schalstein from [[Mt. Coronet]] and greenschist from [[Chargestone Cave]].

===Secret Base boy===
The house east of the Pokémon Center houses a brother and sister. The boy likes to visit people's [[Secret Base]]s.

In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, the boy will tell the player where their [[Secret Base]] is located.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the boy tells the player that they can access additional areas in Secret Bases with [[Ornament#Other|Stairs]] and [[Solid Board]]s.

===Pokéblock enthusiast's house===
The house north of the Pokémon Center houses a couple. The man is a {{tc|Black Belt}} who is very enthusiastic about [[Pokéblock]]s.

In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, he will tell the player the preferred [[flavor|color]] of Pokéblock of the player's lead Pokémon.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, he serves no purpose, simply telling the player that their lead Pokémon likes them more than Pokéblocks.

===Backdoor house===
In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire and Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, these is an old man with a house with a door on the back wall.

In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, [[e-Reader]] Trainers will appear in the back room.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the old man mentions he used to be a {{tc|Secret Base Expert}}. If the player scans the QR Code of a special [[Secret Base]] (such as those of [[Junichi Masuda]], [[Shigeru Ohmori]], [[Shigeki Morimoto]], and [[Shōko Nakagawa]]), it will appear behind this door.

===Game Corner===
A Game Corner is located here in {{game|Emerald}}. It replaces the backdoor house from {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. It allows players to interact with {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and other copies of Emerald in two mini-games, [[Pokémon Jump]] and [[Dodrio Berry Picking]]. Connections are made with the [[Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter]].

===Shore===
In {{game|Emerald}}, there is a {{tc|Black Belt}} on the shore in the western part of the city who will teach a compatible Pokémon {{m|Dynamic Punch|DynamicPunch}} one time only.

===Mossdeep Gym===
{{main|Mossdeep Gym}}

==Demographics==
{{incomplete|section|Population in Emerald, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire}}
===Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire===
In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, the population of Mossdeep City is 45. Despite it being on an island in the middle of the sea, its population is fairly large, and it is [[Hoenn]]'s fourth most populous city.

==Poké Mart==
In [[Generation III]], Mossdeep is the only location in Hoenn where the rare Net Ball and Dive Ball are sold. However, Dive Balls are also sold in [[Fallarbor Town]] in the remakes.

== Battle Music ==

Since according to the trivia AZ's battle music is that of the Gym Leader battle style, even though he's classed as a Pokemon Trainer. It may be a hint that if & when Pokemon Z comes out, he will be a Gym Leader. [[User:Frahaleah|Frahaleah]] 19:14, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

==Beaten==
Just out of curiosity, what happens if you lose to him during the credits? I have looked around and most people have said that even if he beats you, the game will react as if you won and events will play as normal. If this is the case, should it be mentioned that AZ is the only trainer you can lose to and not have to return to a Pokemon Center immediately after (White out).

== Name made of just letters ==

I changed that line of trivia to state only capital letters. I know what the intent is, but I'm pretty sure all human characters' names are made of just letters. It needs to be reworded in a way which both uses the original intent, as well as being accurate.

For the record, I pronounce the name like Auhz, not like A-Z. [[User:TruePikachu|--TruePikachu]] ([[User talk:TruePikachu|talk]]) 05:56, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

== Backstory conflict? ==

-''He succeeded, but he was unable to overcome his despair and turned the machine into a weapon'' (Under The Games section)

-''AZ built the ultimate weapon to revive her, and succeeded.'' (Under Pokémon)

Was AZ's (initial) intention to make a weapon or to make a revival machine? It's unclear. The first quote states that the device was a revival machine that turned into a weapon, while the second states that the device was always a weapon.

'''Professor Takao Cozmo''' (Japanese: '''ソライシ・タカオ博士''' ''Dr. Takao Soraishi'') is a character in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire}}, {{v2|Emerald}}, {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire}}. He is a meteoriticist who lives in [[Fallarbor Town]], [[Hoenn]].

==In the games==
Professor Cozmo leaves either with [[Team Magma]]{{sup/3|R}}{{sup/3|E}}{{sup/6|OR}} or [[Team Aqua]]{{sup/3|S}}{{sup/6|AS}} for the [[Meteor Falls]], thinking that they are going to help him excavate meteors. However, the offending team steals the {{key|III|Meteorite}}, intending to use it to power their machine at [[Mt. Chimney]]. After defeating the Grunts and the team's leader{{sup/3|R}}{{sup/3|S}}{{sup/3|E}}, the player can take the Meteorite from the machine and return it to the Professor in exchange for {{TM|27|Return}}{{sup/3|R}}{{sup/3|S}}{{sup/3|E}}.

In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Special Demo Version]]'s first scenario, Takao appears in [[Mossdeep Space Center]] asking for {{ga|Brendan|Orlando}} and {{Steven}}'s help.

In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]] proper, notes in [[Sea Mauville]] reveal that Takao's father, Raizoh, was a researcher for Greater Mauville Holdings and the [[Devon Corporation]] who spent nearly all his time working, apparently causing his marriage to unravel. One of the few things Raizoh had to remind him of his son was a {{p|Skitty}} doll the latter had sent to Sea Mauville. The retrieval of that doll proves to be the object of the Sea Mauville sidequest. Takao used to live in {{ci|Rustboro}}, but at some time moved, possibly to {{to|Fallabor}}.

=====Letters to his father at Sea Mauville=====
;First letter
:''"Dear Daddy, How are you? Are you working really hard? I'm doing well. I'm doing all my homework, and I'm helping at home, too. Mommy's working hard and makes us dinner every night. Do you have to work this weekend? Are you going to come home? If you come home, take me to see the star show, OK? —Takao Cozmo P.S. I'm going to send you the picture I drew at the Trainers' School."''
;Second letter
:''It looked like another letter, but it's a drawing. The drawing is of a boy's face, and written next to it are the words "I love you, Daddy."''
;Third letter
:''"Dear Daddy, How are you? Are you working really hard? I was sad that you didn't come last weekend. But Mommy didn't seem so sad. She went out with her friend. I finally got the telescope that I've been wanting. It was from you, wasn't it? Thanks, Daddy. I really, really wanted it. I like looking at the sky, Daddy. When I look at the stars, I wonder if you are looking at the same stars, too. Let's look at the stars together, next time you come home. —Takao Cozmo"''
;Fourth letter
:''"Dear Daddy, How are you? You aren't working too hard, are you? You never come home anymore. I'm worried if you're OK. Mommy goes out with her friends a lot. It seems like fun, so I guess she's doing OK. The Shelgon you gave me evolved the other day. But I liked it better when it was a Shelgon and it looked like a Meteorite. Salamence was kind of a letdown, so I asked a friend to trade it for his Solrock. I'm sorry, Daddy. I know it was a present, but I think Solrock is cooler. When it gets dark tonight, I'm going to look at the stars again. I'm going to think of you when I do. —Takao Cozmo"''
;Fifth letter
:''"Dear Daddy, I was really, really happy to get to meet you the other day. It was so fun playing together again, and going to see the stat show, too, even if it was just the two of us. It was sad that Mommy couldn't go, and even more sad when you and Mommy fought that night. I'll study hard, just like you told me, and I'll be a good boy, so don't fight. But let me keep watching the stars, even if I have to do all my homework, too. When I grow up, I want to be a professor and study the stars. —Takao Cozmo"''
;Sixth letter
:''"Dear Daddy, Thanks for writing to me. I'm doing really well here, so please don't worry about me. I hope I'll see you again someday. I dream about it all the time. I brought the telescope you bought me to our new house. Please don't work too hard, Daddy. I hope you are OK. I will always, always love the stars, and I will always, always love you. —Takao Cozmo P.S. I'll give you my Hi Skitty doll. Please take care of it for me."''

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{incomplete|section}}
In the Chuang Yi translation of {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire|the fourth chapter}}, he is referred to as '''Professor Starstone'''. This error is rectified when he appears in a flashback during {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen|the fifth chapter}}.

Professor Cozmo believed Team Aqua to be noble heroes, so he assisted them with the meteorite and their device on Mt. Chimney.

He is apparently good friends with [[Roxanne]] and was once her teacher.

:Qualot is from an obscure one, the [[wp:Loquat|Loquat]]. Lum's from [[wp:Mulberry|Mulberry]]. Rabuta sounds like [[wp:Rutabaga|Rutabaga]], though I'm not honestly sure if that's it. I'm very certain Spelon is [[wp:Melon|Melon]].--[[User:Pie|Pie]] 20:59, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
:Actually, now that I think about it, Lum could also just be from [[wp:Plum|Plum]]. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] 02:29, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

I was actually thinking there could be a whole article about each berry, containing flavor and written tag information. I think the real fruit information could be better placed on each individual berry's page. However, we'd probably need a template for a page, or something to make them good. But I don't know how to make a template ... [[User:Slim|Slim]] 19:32, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

:I think I could make a good one, given just a bit of time... --[[User:Pie|Pie]] 20:59, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

I'll start up some pages for berries. The pages will be called, for example, Cheri (Berry). I'll get started →[[User:Evin290|Evin290]] 00:31, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

:What kind of melon is spelon? It would have to be a specific type of melon to get the "sp" from. Also, could Aspear be [[wp:Asian Pear|Asian Pear]]. I can't think of anything for Wepear. I thought "Western Pear," but wikipedia doesn't have an article called that, and when I search for it on Google, all I got was "Best Western/Pear Tree Inn" Anyone have any ideas about "Wepear?" →[[User:Evin290|Evin290]] 15:52, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
::Here's my best guess for Wepear: [http://www.wildlifetrusts.org/index.php?section=environment:species:tree&id=612 ''Pyrus communis pyraster''], the '''W'''ild '''E'''uropean '''Pear'''. [[User:JudgeSpear|JudgeSpear]] 00:58, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

I figured out "Rabuta." It's [[wp:Rambutan|Rambutan]]. It sounds more like "Rabuta" than "Rutabaga" and it's got hairs all over it, just like the rabuta berry.

Here are the Generation IV berries and their origins that do not have origins put up yet (I will put them up in their respective berry pages momentarily):
:41. Chople: Possibly [[wp:Chipotle|Chipotle]], in reference to its spiciness in the games and the real-life pepper's intense heat.
:42. Kebia: [[wp:Akebia_quinata|Akebia]]; the scientific name, ''akebia'', is a Latinization of the Japanese name for the genus, ''akebi''. Here is a page showing [http://www.paghat.com/akebiafruit.html Akebia fruit] that closely resembles the in-game Kebia Berry graphic.
:44. Coba: [[wp:Wild_rice|Coba]], an English name for several species of Manchurian wild rice, whose stems are used as a vegetable.
:47. Charti: [[wp:Artichoke]]
:48. Kasib: [[wp:Cassava]] root
:49. Colbur: [[wp:Muntingia_calabura|''Muntingia calabura'']], the plant from which the Calabura fruit comes
:50. Babiri: [[wp:Berberis_thunbergii| Japanese Barberry]] (''Berberis thunbergii'')
:52. Chilan: [[wp:Ancho|Ancho chili pepper]] (also called Poblano)
:61. Micle: The word "miracle". Or it could be from Clematis.
:62. Custap: [[wp:Custard_apple|Custard Apple]] (''Annona reticulata''), native to the tropical [[wp:New World|New World]]
:63. Jaboca: [[wp:Jabuticaba|Jabuticaba]], or Brazilian Grape Tree

== Soil system in generation IV? ==

it seems the soil and watering work differently from generation III, the soil visibly changes color, from dark brown, to an orange-brown, to pale and sand-like. as far as i can tell, the soil dries by one shade in half the time it takes the plant to grow a stage. the planted berries start with dark watered soil, and it seems the timer on the soil resets based on when the plants are watered, as opposed to being directly linked with plant growth.
:Not to mention the kinds of mulch you can buy that also affect the soil. --[[User:DarkfireTaimatsu|DarkfireTaimatsu]] 23:15, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
::moreover, based on my observations, you have to water twice as often for the best results, and the max yield for older berries seems higher. those details are probably pretty important. ~Kendai
:::Later on, I'm definitely gonna be revamping the page. Adding a "growth" section, possibly to each generation. '''[[User:TTEchidna|TTE]][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 18:25, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

I did a careful watching of berry growth under many different factors. I planted berries in routes 208(normal), 212 (rainy), and 228 (sandstorm). each four-berry place had one plant each with growth and damp mulch.

Basically I found out that it's as simple as watering slightly more often. When a berry is planted, it starts with fully damp dark brown soil. if left alone, it will dry to orange-brown soil the same time it grows it's first stage, and dry out completely to a sandy color at the next stage. When the player waters berries with the sprayduck, the soil returns to the darkest color if it has dried, and will stay fully moist for the same amount of time it takes the plant to grow a stage.

This seems to be a slightly more flexible system, as the watering time is not fixed to the four stages, any time the plants are watered the soil will stay damp for a full growth stage duration.

However, I have seen cases of the soil drying faster than the plants grow. I'm not sure what causes this, as in my test the soil dried in sync with growth times in all three places. ~Kendai
:my test used one type of berry. While growing berries normally I noticed a slower-growing berry group actually dried out faster than others. This might mean the growth time list may also need a list of "drying times" for generation 4. I did use growth much on the slower berries and damp mulch on the faster ones, but despite that the slower set still grew slower. More observations will be needed. Anyone care to help with that? ~Kendai
::I've noticed that the five event berries (Enigma and its buddies) dry twice as fast as the other 96-hour berries (Liechi and its buddies). I'm thinking we ought implement a drying times table or something. Anyone know what the game's code says? '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 09:30, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

I have drying times for most of the berries now.
1-8 4 hours
9 7 hours
10 8 hours
11-15 5 hours
16-20 2 hours
21-26 7 hours
27-30 5 hours
31-35 7 hours
36-52 9 hours
A pattern I saw in "drying rate" from some websites didn't pan out as it had 53-59 drying in 15 hours, and my test of them had them drying faster. I'm about to do a small test with fast growing berries, but I'm certain the result will show better berry yield from keeping the soil moist opposed to once each stage. [[User:Kendai|Kendai]] 20:31, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
:My test shattered what I had previously thought about drying times, but i have a new theory which would make sense of the "drying rate" some websites have.
Imagine the soil's moisture as a percentage, the soil turns orange at 50%, and white at 0% the percentage reduces by the drying rate each hour. the match for this is consistent with my recorded drying times without mulch, But if I'm right so far, a whole can of worms is opened for how mulch effects drying rate, because the growth much is making the Razz dry over 50% in one hour, but if the rate increase is by 25%, then it'd only lower by 43.75%. [[User:Kendai|Kendai]] 01:17, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
:Theory;mulch effects drying rate by 50%, rather than 25%.

== Damage-reducing Berries ==

Do these reduce an attack's damage by 50%? The reason I ask is because no damage calculator I know of factors these in, so it's been bugging me for a while. Would the effect be as if the defending pokemon had +2 defense? [[User:Juunannio|Juunannio]] 10:14, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
:Far as I know, they cancel out the super-effectiveness, which means a 50% damage reduction. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 01:38, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
::THey cancel out, alright. But if it is 4x (Like on Flygon-san) then itdecreases to only 2x. '''[[User:Optimus35|<sc>Optimatum</sc>]][[User talk:Ph34r4ever|Talk]]|[[User:Optimus35/sig/Pikachu|Links]]''14:04 3 May 2008'''''

:::If {{p|Shedinja}} were to hold an Occa Berry, would a Fire-type move still work on it? ~[[User:SaturnYoshi|'''$aturn''']][[User:SaturnYoshi|'''¥oshi''']] [[User talk:SaturnYoshi|THE VOICES]] 16:03, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
::::I'm sure the berry only works by halving the damage, and for shedinja, ANY damage is fatal. However, you CAN get the desired result by using focus sash, it will cover one hit of any type.

==Cards==
Should we include the CCG berries, like "Balloon Berry"?[[User:KrytenKoro|KrytenKoro]] 10:59, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
:I'm not 100% sure what to do, but it's possible you could make a new page or category dealing with TCG berries (and link to it at the bottom of the Berry page). They don't correspond to a specific game generation, nor would they be able to fit into the numbering scheme present in the Generation III-IV berries. [[User:Berrymaster|Berrymaster]] 02:15, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

== Berry dropping ==

After berries grow in loamy soil, they stay for a while, but replant or vanish if not picked. The fact doesn't seem to be covered in this article, or i missed it while looking. I was hoping to find an explanation of how long berries stay on a plant after growing. The individual berry pages list total growth time and length of each stage, but i haven't seen the addition of how long they stay before vanishing on those pages either. ~Kendai
:A set of berries I forgot about seemed to last half the total growth time, or twice the growth of a stage, based on the stage they were at and when they were planted. can someone confirm? ~Kendai

== Which Berry?? ==

Hell I was playing PBR and a Pokémon (can't remember which) used Draco Meteor, but after its stats droped it recovered them with a berry - which berry did it use - I tried to find on here but no luck (or I'm blind - probably blind to be fair) [[User:PhantomCX|PhantomCX]] 15:56, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

:No berry programmed into [[Generation IV]] has an effect like you say happened. The only berry that raises a lowered stat is the [[Ginema Berry]], a Japan-only [[e-Reader]] berry available only in [[Generation III]].

:However, there is an item available to Generation IV that restores dropped stats--the [[White Herb]]. It's possible that you confused the White Herb for a berry, since the White Herb does vanish after being used. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 16:03, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

== Apricorns ==

{{u|Missingno. Master}} just added a bunch of apricorns to the list of berries. While both come from fruit-bearing trees, I think the Apricorns can be thought of as separate, what with the lacking "berry" in the name and all. I'm opening this for discussion before I revert, so I can hear everyone else's thoughts and avoid an edit war. --[[User:Martonimos|((Marton]] [[User talk:Martonimos|imos))]] 20:09, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
:Sorry, forgot to mention. Because of their relationship, we can mention apricorns in the article and include a link to their article. I just don't like having them mixed in with the berries on the list. --[[User:Martonimos|((Marton]] [[User talk:Martonimos|imos))]] 20:10, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
::That I agree with: Berries aren't Apricorns. If in GSDS or a future game they allow them both to be planted, we can go for a greater link, but GS's system doesn't exactly give us a lot of info. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 20:21, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

== Kanto, Loamy Soil, and Generation II ==

So if Kanto's soil is so infertile that it doesn't have loamy soil and can't support berry growth, how does it have berry trees in Gen II like the one on Route 1 between the ledges? It's always stated that Kanto doesn't grow berries because the soil can't support it - due to the region of Japan most likely - but in Gen II it could support berry growth. Does this mean that Kanto's soil got better in just three years? ''If'' GSDS comes out, then we might have an answer, but it seems like a trivia-worthy mentioning to me. GSDS would also answer a lot of questions about berries - like if a "Berry" is an "Oran Berry" without the actual name. But this inconsistency with Kanto's soil has been bothering me for some time now. [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 00:17, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
:It's got, what, one or two berry trees, and they're close to the west side of it anyway, so I'd say it got better by a little, but it's gonna go nowhere near Hoenn and Sinnoh levels anytime soon.
:Funny thing though... the excuse given is volcanic, when there's several berry plots just outside [[Mt. Chimney]] in Hoenn. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 16:53, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

== Performance ==

The berries can be typically grouped into groups of 5. Eg. Cheri, Chesto, Pecha, Rast and Aspear Berries, all cure a status ailment. So shouldn't they all have the same level at 100% performance. In the articles, Cheri, Chesto and Aspear have level 13. While Pecha has 14, and raswt at 12. Becasue if you try a Cheri or Rawst you'd get around the 10's. But if you try Figy or Mago you'd normally get high 10's or low 20's. So i think berries in the same group have the same level at 100% performance. So if someone gets level 14 for Pecha, all the others in the group should be changed to the highest level if it is in the same group.--[[User:Wowy|Wowy]] 07:02, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

== Formula ==

So why aren't the math tags working in the formula? {{unsigned|Zelda311}}
:First off, that signature template is prohibited per our {{bp|signature policy}}. Secondly, math tags are disabled so I've put together an image to do it in proper math markup. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 06:39, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
::Does that apply for this page or every article? --[[User:Zelda311|Zelda311]] 15:49, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't it very simply be ''actual_yield = (stages_watered + 1) * minimum_yield''? I admit I don't usually get less than max (and I've only worked on 16-20 in Gen IV recently to remember well) to say that the current formula is categorically wrong, but, most damningly, it implies that, if c evaluates to 0, you can't get maximum yield. In some hundreds of recent plantings, I've gotten max yield from max waterings, without fail, which doesn't seem very random (at the very least, c evaluating to 0 should have been a 1 in 8 chance). [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] 05:22, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
:I just looked at the results of a few tests I wrote down once upon a time, and they actually suggest that it is ''not'' so simple as "''actual_yield = (stages_watered + 1) * minimum_yield''" (e.g., I apparently got 5 Cheri berries from watering ''once'', in the "growing bigger" stage). On the other hand, I still think that the current formula is wrong (refer above again: the random variable should not allow consistent max yield). [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] 06:25, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

I think there is something wrong with the berry formula as it stands now. On the Leppa berry page, it says it will yield 2-5 berries. This means that a=2 and b=5, yes? Assuming you water the plant at least once at every stage, and that the random number chosen is the maximum (in this case, 5), you end up with the number 4. [((2-5)*(4-1))+5)/4]+5 = 4
The berry formula needs to exist in such a way that the maximum berry yield is the same number you end up with. (I've planted several Leppa berries in gen 4; I CONSISTENTLY get 5 berries at every stage.)
So, unless the numbers on the individual berry pages are wrong, or if the true maximum yield is never possible, then this formula is still wrong.--[[User:Lamb|Lamb]]''([[User talk:Lamb|talk]])'' 17:25, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
*So, the formula has been fixed, but there is still no explanation for decimals and how rounding is done.--[[User:Lamb|Lamb]]''([[User talk:Lamb|talk]])'' 12:20, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

I believe the variable for "c" in the formula section is incorrect. It should read "c is a number randomly chosen between 0 and (a minus b), inclusive". [[User:Poccil|Poccil]] 14:54, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

== HeartGold and SoulSilver ==
I noticed while working on this and the individual berry pages that required it that the shards that were traded for them seemed to match the color either completely or partially of the color of the shard used to obtain that particular berry. I would like a second opinion since I will not add it as trivia without other opinions. I also used the berries' actual pictures and not the sprites for this. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] 18:35, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

I noticed that this page is missing a lot of the tree sprites in the various stages of growth and I found a pic with ALL of the sprites from gen 3.

== Berry list suggestion ==

It would be extremely useful to have a list (or should I say a comparison) of berries by the Poffin sheen/condition point yield. Or perhaps (since its usefulness requires a lot of space) one on each page [[Beauty Contest]]/[[Cool Contest]]/etc. which gives information on such things, as, base level, level at 00:40 (common lower bound), sheen yield, stat yield at 00:60times, trunc(255/sheenYield)*statYield, etc.

I may be able to contribute for some berries, but for most hybrids I wouldn't have a clue. -- [[User:Pokey|Pokey]] 08:01, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

== Human Safe? ==
In Gold/Silver or HeartGold/SoulSilver, There is a specific character who gives you a call (Im not exactly sure what the name was, but it may have been a fisherman or a hiker), That called to tell you his Pokémon was eating right berries now. He then proceeds to say that he wasn't sure whether or not they were safe for humans to eat, But exclaims that it was delicious. I am not sure if this is canon or not. --[[User:Proctor|Proctor]] 22:39, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

This concerns the Razz, Bluk, Nanab, Wepear, Pinap, Cornn, Magost, Rabuta, Nomel, Spelon, Pamtre, Watmel, Durin, and Belue berries. The HG/SS descriptions of all of these berries just say they are used to make Poffins in Sinnoh. The only other thing about them I could find on the site is that they can be traded for accessories at the flower shop in Floaroma Town, also in Sinnoh. Seeing as I'm not IN Sinnoh, is there anything I can do with these berries or should I just trash 'em all?[[User:Chamtechie|Chammy]] 23:47, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

With the exception of Gen 2, virtually all Berries have reappeared in later generations with the same effects, so we're currently duplicating a ''lot'' of information by having the Berry lists split per generation.

== Editing the Gen VI berries ==

I do have a few notes about the Generation VI List of Berries section.

*There is no need to have a "Tree" section, as the trees in the Berry Fields in Generation VI are all generic designs.
*Roseli Berry would be positioned in-between the Babiri Berry and Chilan Berry, and be numbered No. 52. Chilan Berries and all berries past it would have their ID numbers raised by 1, with Rowap Berry now No. 65.
*Kee and Maranga Berry would be No. 66 and 67 respectively.

[[User:Superjustinbros.|Superjustinbros.]] ([[User talk:Superjustinbros.|talk]]) 17:37, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
:*''All'' of the stages do not follow the same generic design. The last one (maybe two) are different for each Berry. And the rest (except the first) still differ depending on the Berry's color.
:*When the X/Y Berries are sorted by "Type", Roseli Berry does ''not'' fall between Babiri and Chilan, so it will not be placed there at this point.
:*When a game explicitly gives the Berries numbers, then we'll add them. In the meantime, we will not assign what is essentially fake data.

== Gen VI Growth Mechanics ==

The article states that the berry yield is:

minimum yield + (weeds pulled * the berry's weeding value) +
(pests ridded * the berry's pest value) +
(times watered * the berry's watering value)

I can't find any independent sources corroborating this, nor can I find any of these supposed values for any berries. I've found some claims that leaving weeds or pests can decrease the yield, but I don't know if this is true. I did some testing with Cheri berries, and I can confirm that the berry yield increases by one every time the plot is weeded or watered. But is there some reputable independent source that actually states the growth mechanics? And is there published data for any of these values? [[User:Neofreakx2|Neofreakx2]] ([[User talk:Neofreakx2|talk]]) 16:54, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
:I figured out the mechanics and added that information myself. For a while I thought there wasn't any pattern in all the data I had gathered. I currently know all of the available values except...whatever it is that takes five whole days to grow. >_< (And ideally I want to recheck a couple cases.) I've wanted to get that last bit of data and then add everything at once, but it's not been very convenient for me to devote that sort of time recently, so I've also been thinking I should just add what I have. I'll commit myself to getting my rear in gear on it this week at least, one way or the other (probably mostly "the other"...adding what I have for now).

== Soil system in generation IV? ==

it seems the soil and watering work differently from generation III, the soil visibly changes color, from dark brown, to an orange-brown, to pale and sand-like. as far as i can tell, the soil dries by one shade in half the time it takes the plant to grow a stage. the planted berries start with dark watered soil, and it seems the timer on the soil resets based on when the plants are watered, as opposed to being directly linked with plant growth.
:Not to mention the kinds of mulch you can buy that also affect the soil. --[[User:DarkfireTaimatsu|DarkfireTaimatsu]] 23:15, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
::moreover, based on my observations, you have to water twice as often for the best results, and the max yield for older berries seems higher. those details are probably pretty important. ~Kendai
:::Later on, I'm definitely gonna be revamping the page. Adding a "growth" section, possibly to each generation. '''[[User:TTEchidna|TTE]][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 18:25, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

I did a careful watching of berry growth under many different factors. I planted berries in routes 208(normal), 212 (rainy), and 228 (sandstorm). each four-berry place had one plant each with growth and damp mulch.

Basically I found out that it's as simple as watering slightly more often. When a berry is planted, it starts with fully damp dark brown soil. if left alone, it will dry to orange-brown soil the same time it grows it's first stage, and dry out completely to a sandy color at the next stage. When the player waters berries with the sprayduck, the soil returns to the darkest color if it has dried, and will stay fully moist for the same amount of time it takes the plant to grow a stage.

This seems to be a slightly more flexible system, as the watering time is not fixed to the four stages, any time the plants are watered the soil will stay damp for a full growth stage duration.

However, I have seen cases of the soil drying faster than the plants grow. I'm not sure what causes this, as in my test the soil dried in sync with growth times in all three places. ~Kendai
:my test used one type of berry. While growing berries normally I noticed a slower-growing berry group actually dried out faster than others. This might mean the growth time list may also need a list of "drying times" for generation 4. I did use growth much on the slower berries and damp mulch on the faster ones, but despite that the slower set still grew slower. More observations will be needed. Anyone care to help with that? ~Kendai
::I've noticed that the five event berries (Enigma and its buddies) dry twice as fast as the other 96-hour berries (Liechi and its buddies). I'm thinking we ought implement a drying times table or something. Anyone know what the game's code says? '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 09:30, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

I have drying times for most of the berries now.
1-8 4 hours
9 7 hours
10 8 hours
11-15 5 hours
16-20 2 hours
21-26 7 hours
27-30 5 hours
31-35 7 hours
36-52 9 hours
A pattern I saw in "drying rate" from some websites didn't pan out as it had 53-59 drying in 15 hours, and my test of them had them drying faster. I'm about to do a small test with fast growing berries, but I'm certain the result will show better berry yield from keeping the soil moist opposed to once each stage. [[User:Kendai|Kendai]] 20:31, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
:My test shattered what I had previously thought about drying times, but i have a new theory which would make sense of the "drying rate" some websites have.
Imagine the soil's moisture as a percentage, the soil turns orange at 50%, and white at 0% the percentage reduces by the drying rate each hour. the match for this is consistent with my recorded drying times without mulch, But if I'm right so far, a whole can of worms is opened for how mulch effects drying rate, because the growth much is making the Razz dry over 50% in one hour, but if the rate increase is by 25%, then it'd only lower by 43.75%. [[User:Kendai|Kendai]] 01:17, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

== Berry dropping ==

After berries grow in loamy soil, they stay for a while, but replant or vanish if not picked. The fact doesn't seem to be covered in this article, or i missed it while looking. I was hoping to find an explanation of how long berries stay on a plant after growing. The individual berry pages list total growth time and length of each stage, but i haven't seen the addition of how long they stay before vanishing on those pages either. ~Kendai

Hell I was playing PBR and a Pokémon (can't remember which) used Draco Meteor, but after its stats droped it recovered them with a berry - which berry did it use - I tried to find on here but no luck (or I'm blind - probably blind to be fair) [[User:PhantomCX|PhantomCX]] 15:56, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

:No berry programmed into [[Generation IV]] has an effect like you say happened. The only berry that raises a lowered stat is the [[Ginema Berry]], a Japan-only [[e-Reader]] berry available only in [[Generation III]].

:However, there is an item available to Generation IV that restores dropped stats--the [[White Herb]]. It's possible that you confused the White Herb for a berry, since the White Herb does vanish after being used. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 16:03, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

== Apricorns ==

{{u|Missingno. Master}} just added a bunch of apricorns to the list of berries. While both come from fruit-bearing trees, I think the Apricorns can be thought of as separate, what with the lacking "berry" in the name and all. I'm opening this for discussion before I revert, so I can hear everyone else's thoughts and avoid an edit war. --[[User:Martonimos|((Marton]] [[User talk:Martonimos|imos))]] 20:09, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

::That I agree with: Berries aren't Apricorns. If in GSDS or a future game they allow them both to be planted, we can go for a greater link, but GS's system doesn't exactly give us a lot of info. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 20:21, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

== Kanto, Loamy Soil, and Generation II ==

So if Kanto's soil is so infertile that it doesn't have loamy soil and can't support berry growth, how does it have berry trees in Gen II like the one on Route 1 between the ledges? It's always stated that Kanto doesn't grow berries because the soil can't support it - due to the region of Japan most likely - but in Gen II it could support berry growth. Does this mean that Kanto's soil got better in just three years? ''If'' GSDS comes out, then we might have an answer, but it seems like a trivia-worthy mentioning to me. GSDS would also answer a lot of questions about berries - like if a "Berry" is an "Oran Berry" without the actual name. But this inconsistency with Kanto's soil has been bothering me for some time now. [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 00:17, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
:It's got, what, one or two berry trees, and they're close to the west side of it anyway, so I'd say it got better by a little, but it's gonna go nowhere near Hoenn and Sinnoh levels anytime soon.
:Funny thing though... the excuse given is volcanic, when there's several berry plots just outside [[Mt. Chimney]] in Hoenn. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 16:53, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

== Performance ==

The berries can be typically grouped into groups of 5. Eg. Cheri, Chesto, Pecha, Rast and Aspear Berries, all cure a status ailment. So shouldn't they all have the same level at 100% performance. In the articles, Cheri, Chesto and Aspear have level 13. While Pecha has 14, and raswt at 12. Becasue if you try a Cheri or Rawst you'd get around the 10's. But if you try Figy or Mago you'd normally get high 10's or low 20's. So i think berries in the same group have the same level at 100% performance. So if someone gets level 14 for Pecha, all the others in the group should be changed to the highest level if it is in the same group.--[[User:Wowy|Wowy]] 07:02, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

== Formula ==

::Does that apply for this page or every article? --[[User:Zelda311|Zelda311]] 15:49, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't it very simply be ''actual_yield = (stages_watered + 1) * minimum_yield''? I admit I don't usually get less than max (and I've only worked on 16-20 in Gen IV recently to remember well) to say that the current formula is categorically wrong, but, most damningly, it implies that, if c evaluates to 0, you can't get maximum yield. In some hundreds of recent plantings, I've gotten max yield from max waterings, without fail, which doesn't seem very random (at the very least, c evaluating to 0 should have been a 1 in 8 chance). [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] 05:22, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
:I just looked at the results of a few tests I wrote down once upon a time, and they actually suggest that it is ''not'' so simple as "''actual_yield = (stages_watered + 1) * minimum_yield''" (e.g., I apparently got 5 Cheri berries from watering ''once'', in the "growing bigger" stage). On the other hand, I still think that the current formula is wrong (refer above again: the random variable should not allow consistent max yield). [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] 06:25, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

I think there is something wrong with the berry formula as it stands now. On the Leppa berry page, it says it will yield 2-5 berries. This means that a=2 and b=5, yes? Assuming you water the plant at least once at every stage, and that the random number chosen is the maximum (in this case, 5), you end up with the number 4. [((2-5)*(4-1))+5)/4]+5 = 4
The berry formula needs to exist in such a way that the maximum berry yield is the same number you end up with. (I've planted several Leppa berries in gen 4; I CONSISTENTLY get 5 berries at every stage.)
So, unless the numbers on the individual berry pages are wrong, or if the true maximum yield is never possible, then this formula is still wrong.--[[User:Lamb|Lamb]]''([[User talk:Lamb|talk]])'' 17:25, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
*So, the formula has been fixed, but there is still no explanation for decimals and how rounding is done.--[[User:Lamb|Lamb]]''([[User talk:Lamb|talk]])'' 12:20, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

I believe the variable for "c" in the formula section is incorrect. It should read "c is a number randomly chosen between 0 and (a minus b), inclusive". [[User:Poccil|Poccil]] 14:54, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

== HeartGold and SoulSilver ==
I noticed while working on this and the individual berry pages that required it that the shards that were traded for them seemed to match the color either completely or partially of the color of the shard used to obtain that particular berry. I would like a second opinion since I will not add it as trivia without other opinions. I also used the berries' actual pictures and not the sprites for this. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] 18:35, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

== Berry list suggestion ==

It would be extremely useful to have a list (or should I say a comparison) of berries by the Poffin sheen/condition point yield. Or perhaps (since its usefulness requires a lot of space) one on each page [[Beauty Contest]]/[[Cool Contest]]/etc. which gives information on such things, as, base level, level at 00:40 (common lower bound), sheen yield, stat yield at 00:60times, trunc(255/sheenYield)*statYield, etc.

I may be able to contribute for some berries, but for most hybrids I wouldn't have a clue. -- [[User:Pokey|Pokey]] 08:01, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

== Human Safe? ==
In Gold/Silver or HeartGold/SoulSilver, There is a specific character who gives you a call (Im not exactly sure what the name was, but it may have been a fisherman or a hiker), That called to tell you his Pokémon was eating right berries now. He then proceeds to say that he wasn't sure whether or not they were safe for humans to eat, But exclaims that it was delicious. I am not sure if this is canon or not. --[[User:Proctor|Proctor]] 22:39, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Some of my friends were confused that their berries didn't kick in at 1/3rd "like they did in RSE," but that's the best I have to offer there. They actually pointed me here, which led to this.

== Berry care in generation IV ==

The growth stages seem to have become cosmetic in Generation IV, with the moisture of soil being the new measure of berry health. Individual berries have a "drying rate" that determines how quickly the soil becomes dry, in percent per hour. [[User:Kendai|~Kendai]] 10:10, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

== HG/SS Useless Berries? ==

This concerns the Razz, Bluk, Nanab, Wepear, Pinap, Cornn, Magost, Rabuta, Nomel, Spelon, Pamtre, Watmel, Durin, and Belue berries. The HG/SS descriptions of all of these berries just say they are used to make Poffins in Sinnoh. The only other thing about them I could find on the site is that they can be traded for accessories at the flower shop in Floaroma Town, also in Sinnoh. Seeing as I'm not IN Sinnoh, is there anything I can do with these berries or should I just trash 'em all?[[User:Chamtechie|Chammy]] 23:47, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
:Well, first of all, this kind of question belongs on the {{BMGf||forums}}. But to answer your question, no, I don't think there's a use for them in HGSS. You can probably sell them or trade a Pokémon holding them to DPPt. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 11:13, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

With the exception of Gen 2, virtually all Berries have reappeared in later generations with the same effects, so we're currently duplicating a ''lot'' of information by having the Berry lists split per generation. And, of course, the graphics used for Berry trees are completely different in Gen VI, so the old Berry table template just doesn't work anymore.

== Editing the Gen VI berries ==

I do have a few notes about the Generation VI List of Berries section.

*There is no need to have a "Tree" section, as the trees in the Berry Fields in Generation VI are all generic designs.
*Roseli Berry would be positioned in-between the Babiri Berry and Chilan Berry, and be numbered No. 52. Chilan Berries and all berries past it would have their ID numbers raised by 1, with Rowap Berry now No. 65.
*Kee and Maranga Berry would be No. 66 and 67 respectively.

[[User:Superjustinbros.|Superjustinbros.]] ([[User talk:Superjustinbros.|talk]]) 17:37, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
:*''All'' of the stages do not follow the same generic design. The last one (maybe two) are different for each Berry. And the rest (except the first) still differ depending on the Berry's color.
:*When the X/Y Berries are sorted by "Type", Roseli Berry does ''not'' fall between Babiri and Chilan, so it will not be placed there at this point.
:*When a game explicitly gives the Berries numbers, then we'll add them. In the meantime, we will not assign what is essentially fake data.

== Gen VI Growth Mechanics ==

The article states that the berry yield is:

minimum yield + (weeds pulled * the berry's weeding value) +
(pests ridded * the berry's pest value) +
(times watered * the berry's watering value)

I can't find any independent sources corroborating this, nor can I find any of these supposed values for any berries. I've found some claims that leaving weeds or pests can decrease the yield, but I don't know if this is true. I did some testing with Cheri berries, and I can confirm that the berry yield increases by one every time the plot is weeded or watered. But is there some reputable independent source that actually states the growth mechanics? And is there published data for any of these values? [[User:Neofreakx2|Neofreakx2]] ([[User talk:Neofreakx2|talk]]) 16:54, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
:I figured out the mechanics and added that information myself. For a while I thought there wasn't any pattern in all the data I had gathered. I currently know all of the available values except...whatever it is that takes five whole days to grow. >_< (And ideally I want to recheck a couple cases.) I've wanted to get that last bit of data and then add everything at once, but it's not been very convenient for me to devote that sort of time recently, so I've also been thinking I should just add what I have. I'll commit myself to getting my rear in gear on it this week at least, one way or the other (probably mostly "the other"...adding what I have for now).

== Gen VI OMAS Growth Times ==

After planting berries in my game, I think the growth times have changed slightly in OMAS vs X/Y. Still trying to get exact times, but I know the decrease super effective damage berries are more like 2 days instead of 3.

Talk:Berry fields (Kalos)

2015-01-18T05:11:05Z

Partone: /* Hoenn berry fields */

== Merging ==

The game treats the area as part of {{rt|7|Kalos}} for everything except the background music, so the information about location and items could be merged into there. The berry growing information would probably be better suited to the [[Berry]] page. - ''signed comment from [[User:GoldenCelebi|GoldenCelebi]] ([[User talk:GoldenCelebi|pedia talk]] • [[Bulbanews:User talk:GoldenCelebi|news talk]] • [[a:User talk:GoldenCelebi|archives talk]])'' 18:46, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
:I personally think it would be better to have it all in one place. The music is different, there are wild Pokémon and a few items too. I think it should have a separate article.

== Name capitalization ==

According to the history, {{u|SnorlaxMonster}} moved this page to "Berry '''f'''ields" based on the Mulch descriptions. I'd like to point out that they say ''Mulch to be used on '''a''' Berry field''. In other words, the Mulch description is just using a generic description, not the actual name of anything. Berry Fields should be the correct capitalization of this page because it is the proper name of a distinct location in the games, and proper names are capitalized. You wouldn't uncapitalize "New york city" or "Sea spirit's den", so I don't see why "Berry Fields" is being subjected to this misunderstanding of the Mulch descriptions' grammar. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 07:41, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

::Sorry to question you further, but what's the ''context'' used in the guidebook? Is it actually calling it by that name, or is it a generic usage like the Mulches?

==Watering Trick==
Not sure where to put this on the page, or if it needs to be put down anyway. A simple trick to watering the fields, when your character takes out the watering can and uses it on the buried berry, if you press left or right, and there's a dry buried berry in that direction, after watering the current berry the character will automatically walk over and water the next. You can do this down a row of planted berries to water them all at once, rather than selecting each patch and choosing to water them one at a time.

:::I agree. What about the people who are playing Pokémon for the first time? They're not gonna know how to do that.

::::Perhaps we should add a new section entitled "Care" Where it explains the simple instructions of mulching, planting, watering, weeding and pest control?

Here is a mock up

'''Planting and Berry Care'''

Applying mulch or planting a berry is done by selecting a empty mound of soft soil, and then pressing the A button. If a berry is planted with or without mulch, it is immediately able to be watered. Dry mounds with a berry planted in them may be watered individually, or watered in rows by pressing left or right on the direction pad. The Player is not restricted to one direction, and may choose to begin watering in the opposite direction at any time. Mounds that have not been planted, or whom have already been watered will simply be skipped over, and the next dry mound attended to instead. A mound will continuously be watered until the Player presses A, B, or ↑ on the directional pad. When weeds have sprouted on the mound, they however must be individually taken care of, with the player having to walk to and then select each effected mound.

How does that look? [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 21:13, 7 June 2014 (UTC)
:Thhat you can move while using the Sprinklotoad is still the only thing actually notable in that example. The rest is just minutiae or too obvious/basic (pressing A to interact with a plot...). I put the basic idea in trivia. Users can play with it just fine to figure out the rest; it's not like there's any risk to it. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 21:39, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

==Drying berry plots==
The article says the berry plots "dry up over time depending on the mulch and Berry used", while I have not noticed any difference between berries, the drying time seems to be around 24 hours unless boost mulch is used (I haven't tried the apicot, lansat, kee, maranga, starf and several of the anti-super-effective berries yet though). Do we know these berries have a different drying time or is this an assumption based on previous games? Is it 24 hours for most berries or is it slightly more or less? Does anyone know the effects of boost mulch (I think about 6 to 8 hours drying time, but I'm just using it for the first time, so I'm unsure). [[User:PinkShinyRose|PinkShinyRose]] ([[User talk:PinkShinyRose|talk]]) 22:01, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

I tested the Kee and Maranga berries and they seem to have a growth time of around 24 hours using Rich Mulch. I'm still unsure on the effect of Boost Mulch, I think it causes a drying time of 6 hours, it's shorter than the 8 hours. I still need to more accurately determine the drying time for both use cases, but it seems reasonable to assume all berries have an identical drying rate and need watering around every 24 hours unless Boost Mulch is used. I also suspect the effect of Boost Mulch to be identical for all berries and plan to submit this information to the article once I have more accurate information. [[User:PinkShinyRose|PinkShinyRose]] ([[User talk:PinkShinyRose|talk]]) 20:47, 4 February 2014 (UTC)

Amaze and Boost Mulch result in a 4 hour drying time. [[User:PinkShinyRose|PinkShinyRose]] ([[User talk:PinkShinyRose|talk]]) 15:10, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

== Move to "Berry Fields" ==

== Mutation Tiers ==

When looking over the mutations in berries, I noticed that there were three "tiers" of mutations, with the first resuting the {{tt|IV berries|Eg. Pomeg, Kelpsy, Qualot}}, the second having {{tt|stat-raising berries|The ones that activate with low health}}, and the third resulting in a different set of {{tt|stat-raising berries|Kee and Maranga}}. 
All the berry mutations in each 'tier' have similar result berries{{tt|*|And tier two and three mutations all have the same requirements as well, with one IV berry and one damage reducing berry for tier two, and two tier two berries for tier three}}, and each tier requires a berry from the previous tier. 
My question is whether or not this is enough to put the 'tiers' on the page, I've gone ahead and separated the tiers in the mutation template to make it easier to look at{{tt|*|if I shouldn't have done that, please go ahead and revert it}}, but I wasn't sure whether or not to put it in text. -[[User:IVsaur|EVsandIVsaurs]] 22:58, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

== Hoenn berry fields ==

I'm not exactly sure what needs to be done, but we do have a slight naming issue present. A few places in ORAS (such as the map description) refer to the garden at the Berry Master's house on Route 123 as Berry fields, which would cause a name conflict. However, I'm not sure if we should just add something to this page or not since the ORAS berry fields is nothing special compared to other berry plots while berries in XY work very differently.

'''Zinnia''' (Japanese: '''ヒガナ''' ''Higana'') is a [[Trainer]] from [[Hoenn]]. Zinnia is described as a mysterious [[Draconid people|Draconid]] woman and a special person who holds the key to the [[Delta Episode]] post-League story of {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, on a trip to accomplish her objectives.

Zinnia uses {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon in battle, including a {{p|Salamence}} she can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into {{me|Salamence}} using her [[Key Stone|Mega Anklet]]. She also travels with a female {{p|Whismur}} nicknamed '''Aster''' (Japanese: '''シガナ''' ''Shigana''). She is the only character in the games to have the [[Trainer class]] '''Lorekeeper''' (Japanese: '''でんしょうしゃ''' ''Lorekeeper'').

==In the games==
Zinnia makes three cameo appearances prior to the Delta Episode, disguised as a {{tc|Team Magma Grunt|Team Magma}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{tc|Team Aqua Grunt}}{{sup/6|AS}}. She is first seen after the player exits [[Petalburg Woods]] on the way to [[Rustboro City]]. Her second appearance is on [[Mt. Chimney]] with two other {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}s{{sup/6|OR}}/{{tc|Team Aqua Grunt}}s{{sup/6|AS}} battling [[Archie]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Maxie]]{{sup/6|AS}}. Her third appearance is during the montage cutscene in [[Mossdeep City]] after the player saves Hoenn from [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Groudon}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/6|AS}}.

After the player defeats [[Steven Stone|Steven]] and becomes {{pkmn|Champion}}, Zinnia is shown in a cutscene discarding her team's uniform. She then meets the player at their home before breaking into [[Professor Birch]]'s home and stealing {{ga|Brendan}}/{{ga|May}}'s [[Key Stone]]. Later, when the player visits [[Granite Cave]] looking for a Meteorite Shard on Steven's request, she appears studying the cave's ancient painting. After a short conversation, Zinnia asks to battle with the player.

At the [[Meteor Falls]], while looking for a {{key|VI|Meteorite Shard}}, the player and Steven learn from an old Draconid woman that Zinnia joined Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} and manipulated them in the hopes of having Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} resurrected in order to call {{p|Rayquaza}} back to the world to destroy the meteoroid, being fully aware of the fact that her actions would risk the lives of many people and Pokémon.

Zinnia makes another appearance at [[Mossdeep Space Center]], listening in on [[Professor Cozmo]]'s plan to send the oncoming meteoroid to another dimension using technology powered by the Meteorite Shards. Believing this plan will doom the world of another dimension to destruction, she destroys the device, then steals the Key Stone from the head of the team she had joined and challenges the player to meet her at the [[Sky Pillar]].

After the player secures permission to enter the Sky Pillar from [[Wallace]], Zinnia explains the lore of the Draconids as they ascend the tower together. At the top floor, she uses the stolen Key Stones to summon Rayquaza to the Sky Pillar, but her plan fails when Rayquaza does not Mega Evolve despite her efforts. Just as she falls into despair, the Meteorite the player has been carrying for much of the game activates and is consumed by Rayquaza, granting it its missing power. Once the player has captured Rayquaza and added it to their party, Zinnia teaches it {{m|Dragon Ascent}}, then challenges the player to one last battle.

Once the player has gone into space with Mega Rayquaza, destroyed the meteoroid and battled {{p|Deoxys}}, Zinnia disappears from the Sky Pillar. She leaves behind a note with Aster thanking the player for their help. Later at Meteor Falls, her grandmother tells her that she should find her own purpose in life now that she is freed from her lifelong duty. She agrees and leaves her Salamencite with the player before departing. Zinnia's whereabouts after this point are unknown.

====[[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]====
=====[[Petalburg Woods]]=====
:''"...This is the Petalburg recon team checking in. I'm afraid I have to begin with an apology, [[Magma Admin Courtney|Ms. Courtney]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Aqua Admin Matt|Mr. Matt]]{{sup/6|AS}}... It's not good news... It's not good news... The mission is a no-go... A little something cropped up and got in the way... ...Roger that. ...Got it. Will do. I'll continue investigating that energy we detected."''
:''"... ...Phew!"''
:''"But that kid sure had some promise as a Trainer, I'd say."''

=====[[Mt. Chimney]]=====
:''"The energy contained within Mt. Chimney! And the power of the {{key|VI|Meteorite}}! We in [[Team Magma]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Team Aqua]]{{sup/6|AS}} are gonna get it all for ourselves! Wa ha ha ha!"''

=====[[Sky Pillar]]=====
:''"... Looks like I won't be needing THIS... Hiyyup!"''
:''"Phew! That's sooo much better! Ooooh, I feel so free! That uniform got pretty stinky after a while! And all sweaty, too!"''
:''"Ohhh, my adorable little Aster! ♪ Are you that happy to see me looking like myself again, hmm? ♪ Ahhh, you're just too darned cute! Like always!"''
:''"Phew."''
:''"But there's not much time left for us. It'll only be a matter of weeks... ...No. Days. Things have gotten a bit tricky now, since that kid managed to stop one of the super-ancient Pokémon from being revived like it should've been. Not that it's a really big deal. I've already thought of a new plan. If I just tweak a bit with a Key Stone, one with plenty of THAT built up..."''
:''"I swear I'll protect you. ...Aster."''

=====[[Littleroot Town]]=====
:''"Huh? Whoa! Are we in sync or what! You know, I was just thinking about you! It's great to meet you! ...It is our first real meeting, right? Yeah. That's right. Of course it is! The name's Zinnia. And you... Well, I know ALL about you. You're <{{player}}>, of course. You're the new Pokémon League Champion! And you're one of those special few who use Mega Evolution to get even closer to their Pokémon... Now, aren't you?"''
:''"OK, I know, I know. I'll leave it alone. Look, I'm stopping! But this sure is a ni-i-i-ice place, isn't it? Littleroot Town. And everybody living here is just so ni-i-i-ice, too. Like that neighbor of yours. ...Oops! So-o-o-rry. I didn't mean to go on like that. We should keep our first meeting short and sweet, don't you think? Until next time, then. Buh-bye!"''

=====[[Granite Cave]]=====
:''"Hm, hm, hm. Well, seems like it's true. It really is just like the wall painting there. This one shows Primal Reversion... While that one shows Mega Evolution... I guess that proves it once and for all. Our great ancestors once lived here, too. The ancestors who passed down through me the knowledge of how to protect the world... How to avert the threat that will appear from space, as long was foretold... From a place higher even than the heavens..."''
:''"What is it, Aster? Oh?"''
:''"We do seem to meet an awful lot, <player>. Are you also interested in this old painting? Or are you here for the other? For one of the {{key|VI|Meteorite Shard}}s that can serve as a source of power for the Legendary Pokémon that lives in the heavens above. Either way... You know I adore you. That's it! I can't help it! I have to battle you! I'll play nice, though, and ask first... You're ready to battle me, right?"''
::'''Yes''': ''"That's my {{tt|boy|If the player is a boy}}/{{tt|girl|If the player is a girl}}!"''
::'''No''': ''"Fine, fine. I ge-e-et it. I'll wait. I want to see you at your best, y' know. So go get ready!"''
:''"Now let's do it! Give me a good taste of everything you and your Pokémon have to offer!"''

* Being defeated
:''"Yes! That's it! That's just what I was looking for!"''

* After being defeated
:''"Niiice! Real nice, <player>! Ohhh, I really felt that one! Full points to you! That settles it! You get this Meteorite Shard as a reward!"''
:''"That glittering Meteorite that you've got there... Hmm... It's sure giving off some vibes. I'd keep a tight hold on it if I were you, along with that shard I just gave you."''
:''"... Hey... The actions that you're taking now... Are they based on the ideals you cling to? Or are they based on actual truths? And if they are... How much of the truth do you think you know?"''
:''"Yes, ma'am! Moving out! Such a spoiled girl you are, Aster... So what'll be our next stop, hmm, sweetie?"''

=====[[Mossdeep Space Center]] (first visit)=====
:''"Nice! So this is the heart of the famous Space Center everyone talks about! Pretty impressive, huh, Aster?"''
:''"Oh? Where's the harm in it? Don't be such a stick-in-the-mud! ♪"''
:''"...Right?"''
:''"Oh me, we do seem to keep running into one another. You are a busy {{tt|boy|If the player is a boy}}/{{tt|gal|If the player is a girl}}, <player>."''
:''"Me? I'm Zinnia. Just your regular ol' tourist, nothing more. Dreaming of taking a little trip into space... Heh. Oh, I seeeeee... So this is what has come of human technology and of hope and blood and sweat and tears and... Well, the list gets kinda long and boring. But it contains everything, huh? I know all about it. About just what kinda energy you're using to fuel this rocket thing... The abominable technology humanity first thought up 3,000 years ago... So you're once again planning to claim that this is best for humanity, or best for the whole darn world... It's a snap of your fingers to repeat the sins of the past. Worse, if what I overheard is true... This time, you're about to commit an error more abominable than before!"''
:''"Ahahahaha! What's up with that? You're a pretty simple guy for a former Pokémon League Champion. Then I guess I'll hang my hopes on what our current Champion will have to say. So how about it, <player>? What do you think? Do you have some better idea?"''
::'''You bet I do!''': ''"Oooh! Really? Well, that's promising... You'll have to tell me so we can set these guys straight."''
::'''I've got nothing''': ''"Really? Too bad. Guess I was expecting more than I should have from you. Hey, that's fine, though. That's pretty normal."''
:''"Look, I'm not here to criticize the way you guys are looking at this. But I want to be sure you've thought this through well and good. You know, there are necessary sacrifices, and there are unnecessary sacrifices. What a disappointment! This is the best you could do with all your knowledge and technology? Instead of trying to make something outta nothing, you'd rather repeat the mistakes of the past, straight up? No, you're gonna add new mistakes on top—that really takes the cake. You guys need some imagination."''
:''"Oops! But you were all in the middle of a conversation or something, right? Sorry about that. I guess we'll just let ourselves out, then. C'mon, Aster."''

=====[[Mossdeep Space Center]] (second visit)=====
:''"Nice one, Aster!"''
:''"The Draconid, yup. Or you could just call me Zinnia. Aster!"''
:''"Thank you, dear. Now then... That is an impressive machine. Snap your fingers, the asteroid vanishes, and we all live happily ever after? Ahahahah! Indeed! It's like that former Champ said! This thing is the best hope we have of saving this planet and everything on it. But you know... It could also be the worst tragedy imaginable for some other world and everything on it."''
:''"I'm not talking to {{Steven|you}}. You don't get it."''
:''"But you, <player>... Hope for our world... Tragedy for another... You get it, don't you?"''
::'''I do''': ''"And you come through again! You never disappoint me."''
::'''I don't''': ''"I suppose not. I'm not that surprised. It's pretty normal you wouldn't."''
:''"My people know it. From generation to generation, we pass along the lore about the distortions in the world borne by the Mega Evolution mechanism. And about the existence of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|another world}}, which we have long observed to be just like this one and yet not the same... That's right. A Hoenn region that's almost exactly like this one we live in. Filled with Pokémon and people like us. A world where maybe the evolution of Pokémon took a slightly different path, where Mega Evolution is unknown... A world where that war 3,000 years ago...never happened. A world where the ultimate weapon was never even built. And in that Hoenn of that world... What would happen if one day, out of the blue, a meteoroid appeared? What would happen to the people of that world, without the technology to destroy the meteoroid or the power to warp it away? ... Looks like it's beyond the power of your imagination."''
:''"Calm down there, Prof. It'll be OK. I... We... We can protect this world...and the other."''
:''"Oh yeah! Silly me... I forgot the other thing I came for."''
:''"And that's the Key Stone gotten... Now I'll put it together with the Key Stone they've got in their base..."''
:''"Looks like my next appointment is calling, so I'll excuse myself now. Later!"''

=====[[Team Magma Hideout]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Team Aqua Hideout]]{{sup/6|AS}}=====
:''"All right! And the winner is Zinnia!"''
:''"Oh, oh, what's this? Aren't you a happy girl, Aster? ♪ Just what I'd expect of my daughter! We're so in sync! Ahahaha!"''
:''"Who am I? That's a surprisingly difficult question. ... I couldn't become who I was supposed to be, so who does that make me now? ... Haha! Whatever, right? Enough with the introspection and the soul searching... You there! <player>! Don't just stand there like a stick in the mud. Come on over and say hi."''
:''"Isn't it obvious? {{tt|He's|If the player is a boy}}/{{tt|She's|If the player is a girl}} the {{tt|hero|If the player is a boy}}/{{tt|heroine|If the player is a girl}}, right? Here to save the world again. Oops. But looks like {{tt|he's|If the player is a boy}}/{{tt|she's|If the player is a girl}} a bit too late this time. If only you'd been here just one minute earlier!"''
:''"All right. I'd say this Key Stone is mine. We finally got everything, Aster."''
:''"Now we can do it: The summoning. We will summon Rayquaza! Well then, looks like my job here is done. So don't mind me while I excuse myself. Oh. <player>? I really hope you'll come chasing after me, you know? We'll be heading to that ancient tower, sealed since primal times, the [[Sky Pillar]]. If you don't know what that is, well, ask that former Champ of yours. He'll know what I'm talking about. See you there!"''

=====[[Sky Pillar]]=====
* First floor
:''"So you came for me. Thanks for that. That's really good, <player>. I really feel it, right here. Mm-hmm..."''
:''"Since you've been a good {{tt|boy|If the player is a boy}}/{{tt|girl|If the player is a girl}}, I think I'll give you something I've been keeping."''
:''"Look... The paintings that cover the walls of this tower... See, these are the history of humanity, of Pokémon, and of nature itself. They're the tales that have been passed down by my ancestors, the Draconids, for thousands of years. And now...I will pass that history and lore on to you.
:''"Thousands of years ago, in the primal age long lost, the world was overflowing with natural energy. Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre fought over that energy in endless, furious clashes."''
:''"In the face of Primal Groudon and Kyogre's great power, people could do nothing. The only choice was to watch as disaster upon disaster swept over them. It was in such a time that a great many meteoroids poured from the darkness of space, from a place higher even than the heavens. And the meteoroids fell in their multitude upon a waterfall that had long been home to a tribe of Dragon-type-Pokémon users..."''
:''"...OK! That's it! That's the end of the first chapter of my tale."''
:''"I'll tell you the next part of the story on the next floor. Look forward to it!"''

* Second floor
:''"Oh! Here you are!"''
:''"Let me continue. It's finally time for chapter two. Here we go!"''
:''"At last, right? Hah! I know you're thrilled."''
:''"The meteors shone with a rainbow brilliance, as if some great life was held within."''
:''"That was when, as if drawn by the brilliance, a Pokémon that shone in a blazing emerald hue descended from the heavens... That Pokémon was none other than Rayquaza. Rayquaza's power overwhelmed that of the two Primal Pokémon, and peace returned to the world. The people of Hoenn revered Rayquaza as a true savior. A thousand years after this time, the meteoroids once again fell. A huge meteoroid, far greater than any before, struck the planet, boring deep into the ocean and leaving behind it a crater larger than any other. The land born of this event later become known as {{ci|Sootopolis}}."''
:''"And that is it! Chapter two is over! But we've only just left the starting line. There's a long way yet—don't fall behind now!"''

* Third floor
:''"Now, our tale reaches the best part. Sootopolis was born from a great meteoroid strike."''
:''"The great meteoroid was the first of many disasters to befall humanity. When it punched into the planet, the land cracked beneath it, and a great welling of natural energy poured from beneath Hoenn. Thirsting for that energy, Primal Kyogre and Primal Groudon once again woke.
:"''The people had a wish—a memory from a thousand years before... They wished that the Legendary Pokémon clad in emerald light would appear again. The huge Meteorite that lay at the heart of Sootopolis gave off a boundless brilliance. In its brilliance, it resembled a vast and powerful Key Stone. And once again, Rayquaza descended from whence it came in the heavens. The people fell to their knees before Rayquaza and made a wish for salvation. As they did, a great change came over the Legendary Pokémon. It was enveloped in blinding light. As the light receded, they beheld a Rayquaza beyond all knowledge— a sublime figure, incandescent with overwhelming life force. It was humanity's wish that brought about Rayquaza's transformation in the face of the rainbow stone... Yes... A wish... An intangible thing, invisible to the eye. Yet this wish bound people and Pokémon together, enabling the Legendary Pokémon to change its appearance... Doesn't it remind you of something? That's right... It sounds like Mega Evolution, doesn't it?"''

* Fourth floor
:''"And how did the story end? After being transformed by the wish of the people, did Rayquaza save them from disaster?"''
:''"Rayquaza once again confronted Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre. The golden filaments that sprang from its body covered the sky. An emerald brilliance illuminated the area. {{a|Delta Stream|A terrible wind}} rose."''
:''"The wind and emerald light visibly sapped the power from Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre. Drained of their primal powers, the two vanished into the depths of land and sea. Rayquaza watched them go, regaining its usual appearance. Then it soared back up into the heavens where it dwelled. A witness to this series of events, [[AZ|a tall visitor]] from [[Kalos|a distant land]], said, “It is the Δ (Delta), born of the great disturbances in this world. By the bonds born of mankind's wish and the power of the stones, it will calm the troubles that plague the world.” That was when the Draconids constructed their great tower, to hold the rainbow stone that had granted Rayquaza its power, and to try to get a little bit closer to Rayquaza in the heavens above. To record the history of their trials and the great feats of mighty Rayquaza for all to know, they left behind the murals you see here."''
:''"A giant tower... And paintings of the past... You know, I feel like I've seen something like that recently. Heh. But now, I suppose it's time for the last chapter in our tale."''

* Fifth floor
:''"At last we reach the final chapter..."''
:''"A thousand years of peace followed after that disastrous time. But the Draconid people, learning from their long history's cyclical nature, foretold that the meteoroids would fall on this land again. The meteoroid to come, they prophesized, would be far greater than those that had come before it. This meteoroid would be great enough to break the world forever..."''
:''"In order to prevent this great calamity, those who held the knowledge of the past arrived at a plan. Their plan was to invoke Rayquaza, the great savior, and summon it to this land before the meteoroid could strike."''
:''"And that's it. That's the end of our... of the Draconids' tale. I spent a long time thinking about how I could protect the happiness of as many people as possible. What I must do, as one who holds both the knowledge and the power... One who bears the heavy wishes of those who could not...live up to that fate... Well, I had to be really creative, you know?"''

* Top floor
:''"... See that, Aster? You always wanted to watch them, right? The {{p|Litleo}}nids. A million glittering stars falling from the sky... The show is about to start."''
:''"Aren't we happy now? Yes, what could be better, dear Aster? Ha ha..."''
:''"... Welcome to the Dragonhark altar. <player>. You know what I am trying to do here by now, don't you? That's right. I will summon Rayquaza to this world to destroy the meteoroid headed for Hoenn. That is my... It is our duty.
:''"Ever since I was a little girl, I have always turned my eyes up to the sky. When I was so full of uncertainty that I felt my heart might be crushed by it... When I was so grief-stricken and alone I thought my heart might break of it... What about you? Have you ever had to do something like that?"''
::'''I have''': ''"Right..."''
::'''Never''': ''"Ahaha! You're just too honest! Don't you know that you're supposed to agree, and then we'd share a touching moment of pain?"''
:''"... I used to watch the stars like this all the time... Together with Aster. We were always together. In good times and in bad. But I still lost her."''
:''"... Hahaha... ... I want to see her... I want to be with her again... My sweet Aster..."''
:''"I will, won't I? With this... Just a little longer..."''
:''"Guess I should say good morning? You slept well, didn't you? You look so adorable when you sleep. Sorry about the knocking-you-out thing. ... Enough. I think it's time I gave it a shot. I'm sorry...for all the trouble I caused you. If something happens to me... Please... Take this little one..."''
:''"... ... ...OK. Here I go."''
:''"“With jewel bright and borrowed might from the spirits of the departed...” “Through sacred rite, in thy great sight, my life as well I offer...”"''
:''"...Ugh...ngh...gh... “I summon thee...to aid...this fight... and save us...from disaster!” '''Realize them...upon this world...! For this I do summon thee!'''"''
:''"'''Rayquazaaa!!!'''"''
:''"!!!"''
:''"Ray...quaza! I did it! I...I did it! Now the world...will be saved! Aster... Aster, I did it!"''
:''"Great Rayquaza! Hear my wish! Achieve your Mega Evolution! Take hold of your true power! Show me your true face! The Rayquaza that will save this planet!"''
:''"Huh?! H-how can this be?! I gathered all of the Key Stones that could withstand your great power... and summoned you here... You came..."''
:''"And yet... Why?!"''
:''"Come on! Do it! Mega Evolve! Why?! Why won't you..."''
:''"What?! It can't be... The one without enough power...is you, Rayquaza? The Meteorites that should lie within Rayquaza's great body...aren't enough? Have these thousand years drained them of their power?"''
:''"This...can't...be... I can't... I... I... Everything...I've done...till now... Aster... I can't... I can't take any...more... ...''"
:''"That's—?!"''
:''"What? That Meteorite?! It's just like...a Mega Stone?!"''
:''"'''Whoa!!!'''"''
:''"Swallowing meteorites allows it to store as much power as a Mega Stone. Your Meteorite summoned forth the power needed for Rayquaza to Mega Evolve!"''
:''"Hah! It's amazing! <player>! Rayquaza is trying to build up power... It wants power for itself to take you on! Use everything you've got and win over Rayquaza! You have to master it! This is the Legendary Pokémon that all Hoenn views as as our great protector! And the only one who can direct it now... It's you! You have to do this!"''

* If the player has no [[Poké Ball]]s
:''"If you need a Poké Ball, I've got {{ball|Ultra|one}}!"''

* If talked to before facing Rayquaza
:''"<player>! Rayquaza is trying to build up power... It wants power for itself to take you on! Use everything you've got and win over Rayquaza! You have to master it!"''

* If the player defeats or runs from Rayquaza
:''"Rayquaza is trying to build up power... It wants power for itself to take you on! Use everything you've got and win over Rayquaza! You have to catch it!"''

* After catching Rayquaza
:''"Is it...over?
:''"... Congratulations, <player>. And...thank you. History has chosen you... The truth remains that Rayquaza chose you and not me... But... While I don't know how to put it into words exactly... I think I understand why... ...You will be successor to our long history now. And I pass to you the final key to Rayquaza's true power. The move that only it can learn: {{color2|00aeef|Dragon Ascent (move)|Dragon Ascent}}..."''
:''"...That's it, then. I guess...it's time that I do my last task as Lorekeeper. You have obtained Rayquaza's power for your own... Now I will have you prove to me that you can master that power... in battle! That is my final... The final duty of the last Lorekeeper of the Draconid people! Show me that you can exceed it—the entirety of history that we have clung to until today!"''
:''"...Phew."''
:''"..."''
:''"My pulse... I can feel it racing..."''
:''"...Yes. I'm feeling...totally...pumped!"''
:''"'''Haaahhh!'''"''
:''"'''This is it!!'''"''

* Being defeated
:''"Just like I'd expect of you, <player>..."''

* After the battle
:''"..."''
:''"...I guess...it falls to you now..."''
:''"That settles it, then..."''
:''"<player>, you should even be able to beat that meteoroid that's approaching the planet. You and Rayquaza...together. I am leaving this task to you, our new Successor. Successor <player>. You and Rayquaza must protect nature...Pokémon...the people..."''

* After destroying the meteoroid, in a letter
:''"“I was finally able to bring everything to an end. I thank you for that. I think I'll spend some time now trying to find out if it's also possible to forge a new beginning for something once lost. Until we meet again, Zinnia”"''

Talk:Zinnia

2014-12-22T08:54:09Z

Partone: /* B/W reference */ new section

==Aster's namesake==

In the climax of the Delta Episode, right before Rayquaza is summoned, Zinnia describes how Aster is named after someone dear to her who passed away. In the Magma/Aqua Hideout she describes Aster (the Whismur) as her "daughter", and the revelation at Sky Pillar makes it slightly unclear whether, when she speaks to Aster at various points in the game, she's addressing the actual Pokémon or Aster's namesake.

I don't want to add anything too speculative since the scene is extremely ambiguous, but I do think that some of the explicit facts about Aster (namely, that she's named after a deceased character) deserve to be mentioned on the page outside of the quotes themselves. Arguably Aster might even deserve a section on the page, the same way [AZ]'s Floette does. —[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] [[User talk:AndyPKMN|(talk)]] 01:41, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

== B/W reference ==

In Granite Cave, she mentions truths and ideals- is this a reference to Reshiram & Zekrom? It seems so, but publishing speculation is not acceptable. Would it be appropriate to link the B/W articles there, or am I making references in my head?

Player's house

2011-01-02T17:18:28Z

Partone: /* In {{v2|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} */

[[File:BW Players House Upstairs.png|thumb|200px|The player's bedroom in {{v|Black and White|s}}.]]
The '''bedroom''' is the room that the {{player}} resides in within their own house. It is usually where the player first starts the game and where they end up after beating the [[Pokémon League]]. Most versions of the bedroom include a [[PC]], a bed, and often the current [[Nintendo]] console connected to a [[television]]. Also, in most games, there is a [[Potion]] already stored in the PC's item storage.

==Generation I==
[[File:Rb walkthrough3.png‎|thumb|right|The player's bedroom in {{v|Red and Blue|s}}.]]
===In {{3v2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}===
In [[Generation I]], {{ga|Red}}'s bedroom has a PC, a bed, and a TV with an [[SNES]] hooked up to it. It serves no other purpose, although the PC can be used to access the player's item storage.

==Generation II==
===In {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}===
{{ga|Ethan}} or {{ga|Kris}}'s bedroom is a bit fancier than Red's. Unlike Red's, it can also be customized to include several [[Pokémon doll|Poké Doll]]s, as well as [[bed]]s, [[game system]]s, and [[carpet]]s. The [[Town Map]] hanging on the wall can also be replaced with one of several [[poster]]s of different Pokémon.

In {{g|Stadium 2}}, the bedroom can be viewed in 3D.

==Generation III==
===In {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}===
{{ga|Brendan}} or {{ga|May}}'s bedroom, which are essentially reflections of each other, feature a toned-down version of the [[Generation II]] decoration system, as now players are only able to decorate Poké Dolls on the rug. Much of the customization, however, has been moved into the player's [[secret base]]. A clock on the wall in the room is also the only indicator of time in the game. The game system in the room is a [[Nintendo GameCube]] with a [[Game Boy Advance]] hooked up to it as a controller.
[[File:FRLGbedroom.PNG|thumb|right|The player's bedroom in {{v|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}]]
Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald are the only versions of the game where the player does not start in their bedroom, instead beginning in the back of a moving van, having moved from the [[region]] of [[Johto]] to [[Hoenn]].

===In {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}===
{{v2|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} feature an enhanced version of the bedroom from Generation I. The only difference is the SNES being replaced with a [[NES]].

===In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]===
While Pokémon XD starts with [[Michael]] inside of the [[Battle Sims|Battle Sim]] instead of his bedroom, there is in fact a bedroom that can be used for healing Pokémon within the building, and it is where Michael ends up after [[Greevil]]'s defeat.

==Generation IV==
[[File:DP Players House Upstairs.png|thumb|200px|The player's bedroom in {{v|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.]]
===In {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}===
Due to the PC no longer having the item storage functionality, {{ga|Lucas}} or {{ga|Dawn}}'s PC only gives hints on how to play the game. This time the console is a [[Wii]].

===In {{v2|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}===
The room belonging to {{ga|Ethan}}/{{ga|Lyra}} resembles the Sinnoh bedroom more than the original Johto one. The PC can be used to access mail storage, and the console in the room is a Wii (When checking it, it says "It's a Wii! Wii is huge in Johto, too!"). Room decoration has been nearly completely disabled; the only decorations obtainable are trophies from the Battle Tower.

==Generation V==
===In {{2v2|Black|White}}===
{{ga|Touya}}'s/{{ga|Touko}}'s room contains many elements of previous rooms. It contains a [[Wii]] and a PC that lacks item storage functionality.

==Trivia==
* {{g|Colosseum}} is the only game where the player can catch Pokémon that does not show its {{player}}'s bedroom. Instead, after the defeat of [[Evice]], [[Wes]] and [[Rui]] end up back at the [[Outskirt Stand]].

HM

2011-01-02T17:11:32Z

Partone: /* Trivia */

{{incomplete}}
[[Image:Fly_demo.gif|right|thumb|250px|HM moves, like {{m|Fly}}, have effects outside of battle.]]
A '''Hidden Machine''', '''HM''' for short (Japanese: '''ひでんマシン''' ''Secret Machine'') is an item that, like a [[TM]], is used to teach a Pokémon a move.

The difference between a TM and an HM is most pronounced in the earlier games in the series, where TMs were single-use items while HMs could be used an unlimited amount of times after they were obtained. HMs, unlike TMs, could not be sold for money, and the moves contained within could not be forgotten by Pokémon under normal circumstances.

All HM moves have the ability to be used outside of battle in the games they are HMs in, though a move's ability to be used outside of battle does not mean that it is necessarily an HM move. To be used outside of battle, specific [[Badge]]s must be obtained by the player to advance the game's storyline.

==Generation I==
In Generation I, five of the 165 moves are HM moves, and their use is essential for completing the game. Of these five, four of them remain as HM moves even in [[Generation V]], while the fifth, {{m|Flash}}, retains the ability to be used outside of battle to light dark caves.

None of these moves are able to be forgotten in Generation I, and a Pokémon with these moves cannot be raised by the [[Pokémon Day-Care]] on {{rt|5|Kanto}}. Unlike in later generations, all of these moves must be selected from the Pokémon screen to be used.

==Generation II==
In Generation II two new moves become HMs. The five from Generation I return, while a new move, {{m|Whirlpool}}, becomes one, and an old move, {{m|Waterfall}}, becomes another.

A [[move deleter]] was added to the games, mostly with the intention of making possible the ability to delete {{cat|Generation II moves}} that a {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} had learned in order to be able to trade it back, though with the side effect of HM moves now being able to be forgotten.

From this generation on, Pokémon with HM moves are allowed in the Day Care, and fathers with HM moves will pass the moves down to their children as they would a TM move. HM moves can also be used just by checking the obstacle that the HM will clear, such as {{m|surf}}able water or a movable rock.

==Generation III==
===Hoenn===
In Hoenn one of the Generation II HMs lost its status, while another move became the eighth HM.

In Kanto, due to a lack of use for {{m|Dive}}, it was stripped of its HM status, though HM08 remains programmed into the game and can be hacked in to teach Dive. The first five HMs remain the same as Generation I, while HM06 and HM07 can be found in the [[Sevii Islands]] later in the game.

In Sinnoh, for the first time, one of the original HMs lost its status to a new move, while HM08 was brought back as a different move.

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation I|Generations I]], {{gen|II}} and {{gen|V}}, all HMs only have one word in their names.
** Also, the only two HMs to date that have more than one word in their names are the only two to include "Rock" in their names despite not being {{type2|Rock}}.
* [[Ash's Grotle]] is the first Pokémon belonging to a main character of the anime to have used a current HM move, {{m|Rock Climb}}. [[Dawn's Piplup]], however, is known for his {{m|Whirlpool}}, which did not become an HM again until long after he had first used it (though debatably, other Pokémon may have used {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Dive}} and {{m|Fly}}, though they were not directly ordered to use the move).
* The only current HM moves that are able to be learned by Pokémon by level-up are {{m|Fly}}, {{m|Waterfall}}, {{m|Dive}} and {{m|Whirlpool}}. Former HMs, such as {{m|Flash}}, are also learnable by level, but only since their loss of HM status.
* In Generation IV, all moves that were at one time an HM are learnable, with Flash available by [[TM70]] and Dive available by [[move tutor]]. Defog and Whirlpool, which replace each other in the [[Sinnoh]]- and [[Johto]]-based games, are both HM05.
* HM moves have so far been only of the {{t|Flying}}-, {{t|Fighting}}-, {{t|Water}}-, and {{type2|Normal}}s.
* [[Unova]] is the region with the fewest obtainable HMs prior to beating the [[Elite Four]], with only 4 (Cut, Fly, Surf, Strength).
** Coincidentally, these four HMs were in all Pokémon main games.
*In {{2v|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, on {{rt|20|Kanto}}, a Trainer states "{{m|Surf}} is no longer the only HM move you use in water" when he is defeated. This is a reference to [[Generation I]], where the only HM usable in the water was Surf.
* The only way to delete an HM move in the handheld games is to use the Move Deleter. HM moves ''can'' be replaced, however, in games where they are not HMs, such as {{g|Stadium 2}}, {{g|Colosseum}} and {{Pokémon XD}}, which allow any move to be replaced, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, which allow {{m|Dive}}, {{m|Flash}}, and {{m|Whirlpool}} to be forgotten, and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, which allow {{m|Defog}}, {{m|Dive}}, and {{m|Flash}} to be forgotten.
* The HM moves {{m|Cut}}, {{m|Fly}}, {{m|Surf}} and {{m|Strength}} have been in every main-series [[Pokémon]] game.
** Flash is present in every main-series [[Pokémon]] game up until {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, where it was replaced by Defog.
*** However, Flash and Defog are very similar.
*[[Generation V]] is the first generation to have fewer HMs then the preceding [[Generation]].
*[[Unova]] is the only region where the HM containing {{m|Waterfall}} is not obtained before arriving at [[Victory Road]] unless the [[Sevii Islands]] are counted as part of [[Kanto]].
*The [[Mineral Badge]] of Johto and the [[Basic Badge]] and [[Beetle Badge]] of [[Unova]] are the only badges which do not enable the use of an HM in any game they are present in.

'''Rapidash''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ギャロップ''' ''Gallop'') is a {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon.

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

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

====Special abilities====
It runs at {{tt|150 miles per hour|about 241 kilometers per hour}}, {{a|Flash Fire|on fire}}, chasing everything that moves in hopes of racing it. With incredible acceleration, it reaches its top speed in only ten steps. At full gallop, its four hooves barely touch the ground.

===Behavior===
Rapidash is a very agile Pokémon. It can live on mountains along with other {{t|Rock}} and {{t|Fire}} Pokémon, so it is quite possibly alone - not with a relation, such as a Rapidash friend or mate. They are the highest evolved form of Ponyta and are highly capable in battle. Although usually Rapidash only casually canters, Rapidash is a very competitive Pokémon and will chase anything that moves in the hopes of racing it. The faster Rapidash goes, the longer the swaying flames of its mane will become, and at its all-out gallop its blazing mane sparkles, a feature which is said to enhance its apparently beautiful appearance.

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

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

It mostly grazes on grass, but it can sometimes be found with the [[Shuca Berry]].

==In the anime==
[[Image:Rapidash.jpg|210px|Rapidash in the anime|thumb|right]]
===Major appearances===
A Rapidash was featured in the [[Pokémon: Indigo League|Season 1]]'s intro.

{{Ash}} used a Ponyta belonging to [[Lara Laramie]] in the Pokémon Marathon in ''[[EP033|The Flame Pokémon-athon]]''. The Ponyta evolved into Rapidash near the end of the race, winning it.

[[Jon Dickson]] used a Rapidash in the final match of the [[Silver Conference]] in ''[[EP272|Johto Photo Finish]]''.

===Minor appearances===
In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', a Rapidash owned by [[Neesha]] was also one of the Pokémon that were captured and cloned by {{an|Mewtwo}}. The Rapidash clone is seen again in ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''.

[[Stella]] had a Rapidash in her circus in ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]''.

A Rapidash appeared in ''[[AG042|Love at First Flight]]'' in [[Jessie]]'s dream of Prince Charming.

It also appeared in ''[[DP138|Stategy Begins at Home!]]'' in {{Ash}}'s flashback.

Rapidash made a cameo appearance in ''[[DP174|Last Call, First Round!]]'' with a Girafarig.

==In the manga==
[[Blaine]] is seen with a Rapidash as his steed in [[Pokémon Adventures]]. He rides Rapidash into {{p|Mewtwo}}'s {{m|Psywave}} in an attempt to defeat Mewtwo. To protect {{adv|Red}}, Blaine's Rapidash creates a fireball wall around the {{pkmn|Trainer}} to shield him from the impending blast. This Rapidash also led Red to a fossil revival machine needed to revive Red's [[Red (Adventures)#Aero|Aerodactyl]].

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

In the DPPt Saga, {{adv|Platinum}}'s {{p|Ponyta}} evolved into a {{TP|Platinum|Rapidash}} the day after her Gym battle against [[Byron]].

==Trivia==
[[Image:Flameless Rapidash.png|right|thumb|200px|Flameless Rapidash]]
* The original English name for Rapidash was going to be its Japanese name, "Gallop", but was later changed.
* Rapidash is the favorite Pokémon of the [[Kanto]] [[Pokémon Fan Club President]]. When the player first speaks to him, he goes on about why Rapidash is his favorite Pokémon at length.
* In the [[M01|first movie]], there is a split second where Rapidash has no flames.
* It is one of the few Pokémon in {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}} and {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}} to have the same [[field move]] in both games.
* Shiny Rapidash has a grey mane. This could be smoke.

===Origin===
Rapidash's horn shows it may have been inspired by {{wp|unicorn}}s, but it doesn't seem to have anything else in common with unicorns, being more like a regular {{wp|horse}}. It would also seem that Rapidash, along with its prevolution, are based on the Greek god {{wp|Helios}}'s fiery steeds.

====Name origin====
Rapidash's name could be a combination of ''rapid'' and ''dash'', referring to the high speed at which it runs. It could also be a combination of ''rapid'' and ''ash'', referring to the fact that Rapidash has flames on its back. Its Japanese name is simply the word ''gallop'', which is the form of running of hooved animals.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Gallopa - Derived from ''galloppieren'' (gallop).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Galopa - From ''galop'' or ''galopade'' (gallop).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 날쌩마 ''Nalssaengma''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 烈焰馬 ''Liè Yàn Mǎ''- Literally "Raging flame horse".
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Hong Kong)]]: 烈焰馬 - Literally "roaring flame horse (or horse of roaring flames)".

==Trivia==
* Klink's English name was revealed on December 27, 2010, along with 7 other Pokémon.
* Klink and its evolutionary relatives are currently the only pure {{type|Steel}} Pokémon related by [[evolution]].
* Klink and its evolutionary relatives are the only non-{{type|Electric}} Pokémon able to learn {{m|ThunderShock}}.
* Klink's English name is similar to {{p|Shinx}}'s Japanese name, Kolink.

===Origin===
Klink is based on a pair of interlocking gears, more specifically either {{wp|Gear#Spur|spur}}, {{wp|Gear#Helical|helical}}, or {{wp|Herringbone gear|herringbone}} gears. The Klink line's {{Shiny}} coloration may have been based on {{wp|copper}} gears, since their noses have turned green as copper does when it is rusted.

====Name origin====
Klink is derived from "clink". It also includes the word "link", possibly referencing how the two gears are connected. Giaru is likely derived from ギア ''gia'' (gear).

==Trivia==
* Choroneko was seen first in the [[Pokémon Sunday]] special episode preview in September 6. It was later removed from the same preview, much like the revelation of {{p|Zekrom}}'s secondary type earlier.
* Choroneko and {{p|Poochyena}} are the only Pokémon that can be found normally on the first accessible [[route]] of a main [[region]] that are not {{t|Normal}}, {{t|Flying}} or {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon.
** Coincidentally, they are both pure {{type|Dark}} and part of a one stage evolutionary line.
* Despite its species name, it can only have 1 nature.
** Not even one Pokémon can have more than one nature at a time.

===Origin===
Choroneko is based on a {{wp|cat}} and possibly based on {{wp|black cat}}s.

====Name origin====
Choroneko's name comes from 猫 ''neko'', cat, and possibly ちょろまかす ''choromakasu'', to pilfer.

'''Magikarp''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''コイキング''' ''Koiking'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Magikarp is a reddish-orange, medium-sized fish. Its notable characteristics include large, heavy scales. Its fins are primarily white, but it has two stiff, three-peaked fins on its back and stomach which are both yellow. It also has long yellow {{wp|barbel (anatomy)|barbels}}.

====Gender differences====
A female has white barbels and a male has tan ones. The male also has a slightly bigger light band on its forehead compared to the female, suggesting it is slightly larger.

====Special abilities====
Long-lived Magikarp are able to utilize their immense {{m|splash}}ing power to leap high enough to jump mountains. Magikarp also have a strong enough immune system to survive in the most polluted of waters.

===Behavior===
Although this Pokémon is capable of surviving in even the most polluted ponds, it is usually overlooked by trainers because it is pathetically weak: even in the heat of battle it will do nothing but flop around. It is not a strong swimmer, and currents in the water will sweep it downstream. They are normally seen using {{m|Splash}}, which is unusual, as it makes them easy targets to predators. Before the species multiplied, it is believed that the ancestors of Magikarp were actually much stronger than the Magikarp seen today, and this belief has led scientists to research this species. For no reason, it jumps and splashes about making it easy for predators like {{p|Pidgeotto}} to catch it mid-jump.

===Habitat===
[[File:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
Magikarp is found in many bodies of water, such as lakes, rivers, and ponds. However, due to its weak swimming ability it usually lives downstream of the water's flow. Magikarp are extremely plentiful, living in almost any region. No one really knows how this Pokémon survived, however.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Giant Magikarp.png|thumb|right|210px|A giant Magikarp in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Several episodes, the first one being in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'', involve a particular [[Magikarp salesman|salesman]] trying to sell certain Pokémon to someone. The person he is usually trying to con is [[James]] and he usually sells {{TP|Magikarp salesman|Magikarp}}, claiming that they're very valuable.

In ''[[EP092|The Joy of Pokémon]]'', a [[Nurse Joy]] from the Orange Islands befriended a giant Magikarp that saved her as a child. It evolved into an equally large Gyarados, but it remained friendly.

In ''[[EP109|The Wacky Watcher]]'', {{Ash}}, [[Misty]] and {{Tracey}} help a Pokémon Watcher named [[Quincy T. Quackenpoker]] observe the migration and evolution of a school of Magikarp.

Another, in ''[[DP021|Ya See We Want An Evolution]]'', was nicknamed the strongest. This male Magikarp was unique in that it was in fact able to battle surprisingly well, even giving Pikachu a hard time.

===Minor appearances===
Magikarp are very often seen in any underwater scene. This is most likely a reference to their extreme abundance in the games.

[[Team Rocket]] used a Magikarp-shaped submarine during the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]].

Several Magikarp appeared in ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]'' swimming along with [[Team Rocket]]'s Magikarp-shaped submarine.

{{AP|Totodile}} juggled three Magikarp with its Water Gun in ''[[EP153|Love, Totodile Style]]''

In ''[[AG092|Judgment Day]]'', a {{shiny}} Magikarp appeared in a flashback under the ownership of {{ho|Jimmy}} and was later traded.

A Magikarp appeared in ''[[DP086|Arriving in Style!]]''.

In ''[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team]]'', Jessie used a different Magikarp which was confirmed to be male in the second leg of the Pokémon Triathlon.

It was also seen as part of [[Lila]]'s famous "Tiger Lily Smile" background in ''[[DP095|Battling the Generation Gap!]]''.

Another Magikarp also appeared in ''[[DP140|Historical Mystery Tour!]]''.

A group of Magikarp appeared in ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]''.

==Trivia==
* As of {{game|Platinum}}, Magikarp is tied at the lowest (with {{p|Regigigas}}), and ironically, the highest level non-glitch Pokémon available for capture at level 1 and 100, beating out even the level 80 {{p|Arceus}} for highest. It is only available in a pond in the [[Resort Area]] with a [[Super Rod]] in Platinum, where only Magikarp can be caught and range in levels anywhere from level 1 to 100.
* Magikarp, as well as Gyarados, has been in all Japan-centric regional [[Pokédex]]es.
* Even though Magikarp is said to be the weakest Pokémon in existence, there are seven Pokémon weaker than it and one equal to it in terms of [[List of Pokémon by base stats|base stat average]].
* Magikarp takes the shortest time to hatch out of all Pokémon.
* Magikarp is one of three {{type2|Water}}s that cannot learn {{m|Surf}} (the others being {{p|Surskit}} and {{p|Wingull}}), as well as the only Water-type that cannot learn any Ice-type or Water-type [[move]]s.
* Magikarp was the first Pokémon featured in [[Professor Oak's lecture]].
* As of [[Generation V]], Magikarp and {{p|Gyarados|its evolution}}'s [[egg group]] ({{egg|Water 2}} and {{egg|Dragon}}) are unique.
* Magikarp is one of fourteen Pokémon that one could collect [[Meister|foreign Pokédex entries]] for in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* Magikarp shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Feebas}}. They are both known as Fish Pokémon.
* Even though it's listed as a freshwater Pokémon, Magikarp are found in oceans as well.
* Every one of Magikarp's Pokédex entries talks about either its lack of strength, its tendency to {{m|Splash}}, or both.
* Magikarp's FireRed Pokédex entry remarks on its lack of power and speed. While the power part is true, Magikarp in fact sports a base 80 speed stat, making it quite fast.
* The Pokédex entries for Magikarp in Gold and HeartGold and Platinum contradict each other; Gold and HeartGold say that Magikarp never jumps more than seven feet, whereas Platinum version states that it may jump over a mountain. However, the Platinum entry specifies using {{m|Splash}}, while HeartGold is referring to it jumping without aid.
* Magikarp is the only Pokémon that can learn attacking moves but can't get [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] on any of them, apart from Bubble, which it cannot learn naturally.
** It shared this trait with {{p|Caterpie}} before [[Pokémon Platinum]].
* Platinum is the only game where Magikarp's sprite features its mouth closed.
* Together with {{p|Pichu}} and {{p|Seedot}}, Magikarp is the easiest Pokémon to catch in {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, with only one loop necessary.
* Even though Magikarp can't learn {{m|Bubble}}, it still uses it in [[My Pokémon Ranch]].
** However, Magikarp given away at the New York City Pokémon Center in the [[Generation II]] games had {{m|Bubble}} in its arsenal.
* Magikarp is one of the most common Pokémon in the game, found everywhere it is possible to [[fishing|fish]] (except in [[Unova]], where it is not found in the wild at all).
* Both of Magikarp's abilities raise its speed stat.

===Origin===
Magikarp is based on a legend about how carp that leapt over the Dragon Gate would become dragons. Several waterfalls and cataracts in China are believed to be the location of the Dragon Gate. This legend is an allegory of the drive and efforts needed to overcome obstacles. This may have inspired an element in [[Pokémon Snap]] where, after certain steps are taken, a Magikarp will splash its way into a waterfall where it evolves. Magikarp may also be based on {{wp|Asian carp}}s, which are easily frightened by disturbances in water and can jump 8-10 feet in the air.

====Name origin====
Magikarp's name is a combination of ''magic'' and ''{{wp|carp}}'' (this may be mocking the Magikarp as a species, as someone with 'magic' powers is generally thought to be quite powerful, which Magikarp is not). It may also the combination of ''Magi'', the three kings from the story of the {{wp|Nativity of Jesus|Nativity}}, and ''carp''. Its Japanese name is a combination of 鯉 ''{{wp|koi}}'', carp, and the English word ''king'', giving its name an ironic slant similar to its English name.

==Trivia==
* Relicanth is one of the essential two Pokémon to unlock the caves of the [[legendary golems]]; the other is {{p|Wailord}}.
* Relicanth, along with {{p|Zigzagoon}}, are the two Pokémon left out of the [[Hoenn Pokérap]].
* Relicanth shares its types with four of the five original [[fossil]] Pokémon, {{p|Kabuto}}, {{p|Kabutops}}, {{p|Omanyte}}, and {{p|Omastar}}, furthering its link to them as a living fossil.
* Relicanth can be either one of two colors; its regular form is brown, while its {{Shiny}} form is blue. Its real-life counterpart, the {{wp|coelacanth}}, can be either of these colors, as well.
* Relicanth's [[Effort values|EV Yield]] is unique.
* Relicanth is the only non-fossil rock and water type Pokémon that can have the abiltiy Swift Swim.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Relicanth}}
Relicanth are based on the modern ''Latimeria chalumnae'', a {{wp|coelacanth}} species that was thought to be extinct. They are considered {{wp|living fossils}}, because they are virtually unchanged from their prehistoric forms. Like in real life, Relicanth was thought to be extinct 100 million years ago, until it was recently rediscovered in a submarine exploration.

====Name origin====
Relicanth's name seems to be a combination of "relic", meaning "something old that has survived the passage of time," and "{{wp|coelacanth}}". "Glanth" is based on 爺 ''jī'', old man, and "coelacanth".

==In other languages==
* [[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Relicanth
* [[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Relicanth
* [[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 시라칸 ''Coeracan''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 古空棘魚 ''Gǔ Kōng Jí Yú'' - 古 means ancient. 空棘魚 may be derived from 腔棘魚 ''Qiāngjíyú'' (coelacanth).
* Brazilian Portuguese (anime only): Relicário - From ''reliquary''.

'''Pokémon HeartGold Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターハートゴールド''' ''Pocket Monsters HeartGold'') and '''Pokémon SoulSilver Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターソウルシルバー''' ''Pocket Monsters SoulSilver'') are paired [[Generation IV]] [[remake]]s of the [[Generation II]] games {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}.

Much like {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} revisited the [[Generation I]] story of [[Kanto]], HeartGold and SoulSilver retell the story of [[Johto]], with the player's starting area being [[New Bark Town]]. While the games feature several expansions in key areas, the overall plot follows the same direction as the original {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}. Some aspects exclusive to {{v2|Crystal}} are also included. Like FireRed and LeafGreen could link up with {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} to complete the Pokédex by trading regionally exclusive Pokémon, HeartGold and SoulSilver can link up with {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} to obtain Pokémon unavailable in Johto and Kanto, such as [[Starter Pokémon#Sinnoh|the Sinnoh starters]].

{{ga|Kris}}, despite being the female counterpart of {{ga|Ethan|Crystal's player character}}, is not included as the female player character, with a {{ga|Lyra|new character}} instead taking her place. Whether she is chosen to be the [[player character]] or not, this new character will still appear in the game. The unselected protagonist will take a pseudo-[[rival]] role similar to the unselected characters of [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby, Sapphire]], {{v2|Emerald}}, {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

The games were released on September 12, 2009 in Japan, February 4, 2010 in Korea, March 14, 2010 in North America, March 25, 2010 in Australia and March 26, 2010 in Europe (this excludes {{pmin|the Netherlands}}, Luxembourg and parts of Belgium due to an in-game save error, with the patched copies later released on April 2, 2010).

==Changes from Pokémon Gold and Silver==
===Aesthetic changes===
* The male [[player character]] receives a redesign and is now called {{ga|Ethan}}, while {{ga|Kris}} is replaced by a new female player character called {{ga|Lyra}}.
* All the game's music is rearranged to better utilize the DS's sound capabilities. A [[GB Sounds|key item]] allows the player to switch back and forth freely between the arranged soundtrack and original chiptune soundtrack.
* Ambient sound effects are used with greater frequency than in previous games; for example, running water, blowing wind and the player walking through grass will produce audible noises.
* The [[Pokégear]] has been redesigned. There are a range of skins that can be used and changed at the player's will.
[[File:HGSSpokedex.png|thumb|left|150px|Redesigned Pokédex]]
* Much like Kanto's was for its remakes, Johto's Pokédex has been redesigned. Unlike Kanto's remakes, which contained the same [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|regional Pokédex]] as the originals, [[List of Pokémon by New Pokédex number|the original regional Pokédex]] for Johto has been [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|slightly altered]], including several [[Generation IV]] evolutions for Pokémon found in Johto.
* An image of certain locations, like in {{v2|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, appears when entering the location. Some of these images change depending on the time of day while others change the image of the Pokémon obtainable at the location on the image at random.
* [[Team Rocket Grunt]]s are redesigned once again. Team Rocket's [[Executive]]s are also redesigned from Generation II, with four new ones appearing: [[Archer]], [[Arianna]], [[Petrel]], and [[Proton]]. Like [[Team Galactic]]'s [[Commander]]s followed a planetary naming scheme, the Executives are all named for various real-world rockets.
* {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} each have their own unique battle music, while the [[legendary beasts]] each use differently remixed versions of their battle theme from {{game|Crystal}}.
* All former {{DL|Berries (Generation II)|Berry}} trees have become [[Apricorn]] trees.
* [[Gym Leader]]s, [[Elite Four]] members, {{ga|Silver}}, and {{ga|Red}} have animated battle sprites and battle intros, as in {{v2|Platinum}}. Many [[Gym]]s have been redesigned as well, some with new puzzles.
* {{m|Rock Smash}}, previously a TM usable on the field in the originals, is now a full-fledged HM as it has been since [[Generation III]]. {{m|Defog}} loses its HM status to the returning {{m|Whirlpool}}.
* {{m|Rock Climb}}, despite it not being available prior to [[Generation IV]], continues to be [[HM08]] and requires the [[Viridian Gym]] badge. As a result, several caves and cliffs have markings which allow them to be scaled like in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.
* The [[Magnet Train]]'s tracks can be seen overhead on {{rt|32|Johto}}, as well as in [[Goldenrod City]] where the tracks were previously on street-level.
* [[Pal Park]] is located where the closed [[Kanto Safari Zone]] once stood in [[Fuchsia City]].
* The player can now see how many Kanto badges they have. In the original games, the player could only see how many Johto badges they had.
* [[Ecruteak City]] and [[Cianwood City]], while sharing a theme in Generation II, now feature separate remixed variations of the same theme.
* Some music in Kanto is changed, with [[Mt. Moon]] and the [[Seafoam Islands]] changing their music to that which is used by of Johto's [[Union Cave]] and [[Ice Path]], respectively. Music in Cerulean City and Fuchsia City, as well as on [[Route]]s {{rtn|24|Kanto}} and {{rtn|25|Kanto}}, rather than taking the theme used in Pewter City, Celadon City, and on {{rt|3|Kanto}} as they did in the original Generation II games, keep the theme used in Generation I and Generation III. The music used on {{rt|2|Kanto}}, however, is different from any previous generation; the Generation II theme, a remix of the Viridian Forest theme in Generation I, is used solely in Viridian Forest, while the theme used in Generation I and Generation III is, like in Generation II, only used on {{rt|1|Kanto}}. Route 2 instead uses the theme that first appears on {{rt|3|Kanto}}. [[Cinnabar Island]] also gets its own music, a remix of its original theme, instead of using the Saffron City theme.
* The Goldenrod City Radio Tower has an observation deck accessible via elevator. This replaces the second recording room.
* There are wind turbines standing in New Bark Town and on Route 14.
* When viewing the [[stats]] of a Pokémon outside of battle, one of the stat names will be very light blue, indicating which stat is decreased by the Pokémon's [[nature]], and one will be very light red, indicating which stat is increased. If the Pokémon has a neutral nature, none of the stats will be colored.

===Location changes===
[[File:HGSS JohtoKanto.jpg|thumb|200px|[[Johto]] and [[Kanto]], the accessible regions in HeartGold and SoulSilver]]
* Elm's Lab has an upstairs level, where [[Professor Elm|the professor]] and his family live, his old house being occupied by Lyra/Ethan and her/his family.
* The {{jo|Battle Tower}} west of [[Olivine City]], introduced in {{game|Crystal}}, returns, bringing with it the exact same {{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} seen in Platinum.
* Two new routes, {{rt|47|Johto}} and {{rt|48|Johto}}, are introduced near [[Cianwood City]]. They lead to a new [[Johto Safari Zone|Safari Zone]], as well as the [[Embedded Tower]] and the [[Cliff Cave]].
* [[Mt. Silver]] is much bigger and [[Viridian Forest]] is not cut down.
* [[Cerulean Cave]] and the [[Seafoam Islands]] remain as they were in Generation III (though [[Blaine]] still takes part of the Seafoam Islands), allowing the [[legendary Pokémon]] that live inside them to be battled. {{p|Moltres}}, formerly found in {{ka|Victory Road}} and [[Mt. Ember]], can be found in Mt. Silver.
* The [[Fighting Dojo]] in [[Saffron City]] takes a role similar to Sinnoh's [[Battleground]], where the rematches between the player and Gym Leaders take place.
* [[Union Cave]]'s ladder from 1F to B1F has been shifted north (now closer to the north entrance). There are also many minor changes to B1F.

===Gameplay changes===
* All 493 Pokémon are capable of [[walking Pokémon|following players]] similar to [[Red's Pikachu (game)|Pikachu]] in {{v2|Yellow}}. [[Shiny Pokémon|Shininess]] is also retained. The player can interact with their Pokémon by pressing 'A', and can see how their Pokémon is feeling at the moment. In battle, like Yellow's Pikachu, they are sent out from the side of the screen, rather than from a Poké Ball, unless in certain situations, such as while riding the [[bicycle]], surfing, or going indoors with a large Pokémon.
* A new series of events precede encountering the [[version mascot]]s in both versions, and thus it is mandatory for the player to engage in battle with the version mascot in order to continue with the game and proceed to the [[Pokémon League]], similar to the plots of [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby, Sapphire]], {{v2|Emerald}}, {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. In the originals, it was completely optional to encounter {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}}.
* The five [[Kimono Girl]]s from [[Ecruteak City#Kimono Dance Theatre|the dance theatre]] in [[Ecruteak City]] now have a significant role in the game. During the player's adventure, he/she can meet each Kimono Girl at different points of the game where they will ask the player to do them a small favor. After receiving the [[Master Ball]] from [[Professor Elm]] and before meeting the [[version mascot]], each Kimono Girl tests the player with a battle. Once all five are defeated, they proceed to the [[Bell Tower]] (in HeartGold) and [[Whirl Islands]] (in SoulSilver) where they will perform a dance to summon {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}}, respectively.
** As these events were not part of the plot of the originals, the Kimono Girls were to be battled earlier on in the game at the Ecruteak Dance Theatre in order to earn {{HM|03|Surf}} from a man once all five were defeated. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, a mischievous [[Team Rocket]] [[Team Rocket Grunt|grunt]] inside the theatre needs to be battled instead.
* [[Kurt]] and [[Apricorn]]s make a return to the series along with the respective [[Poké Ball]]s. Apricorns are now carried by the player in a new item, the [[Apricorn Case]]. As in {{v2|Crystal}}, Kurt can be given multiples of the same color Apricorn at once in order to make multiple Poké Balls.
* While the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Rainbow Wing}} and {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Silver Wing}} only allow permission to climb the [[Bell Tower]] and enter Lugia's cave in the [[Whirl Islands]], respectively, the player cannot encounter their version's respective mascot until they obtain the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Clear Bell}} in HeartGold and the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Tidal Bell}} in SoulSilver. Since the Tidal Bell cannot be obtained in HeartGold and the Clear Bell cannot be obtained in SoulSilver, those items are not required in those versions to encounter the opposite mascot.
* Unlike [[Generation II]], new tasks are put in to complete that are now required to progress the story forward, such as obtaining the [[Radio Card]] for the Pokégear to be able to challenge [[Whitney]], and the Kimono Girls and version mascot event must be completed to challenge the Elite Four.
* The [[RageCandyBar]] is now a [[key item]]. This is likely to prevent the player from trading it to {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, which does not have any item data for it.
* Similarly to the event {{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Regigigas}}'s effect on Platinum, the [[Pikachu-colored Pichu]] unlocks an event near the [[Ilex Forest]] [[Ilex Forest Shrine|Shrine]], where the [[Spiky-eared Pichu]] can be obtained.
* The [[Pokémon storage system]], [[bag]], [[party]] interface, and the screen that pops up when pressing the ''Start'' or ''X'' buttons in the previous games all use the Nintendo DS's touch screen.
* [[Legendary Pokémon]] from other regions can be caught in the games. [[Hoenn]]'s legendaries, {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}}, return in HeartGold and SoulSilver, respectively, after Red has been defeated, and {{p|Rayquaza}} can be caught in both games if a Groudon from SoulSilver and a Kyogre from HeartGold are shown to Professor Oak. {{p|Latias}} (in HeartGold) or {{p|Latios}} (in SoulSilver) can be found roaming in [[Kanto]] later in the game after speaking to [[Steven Stone]]. The [[legendary birds]] can also be found in certain locations in Kanto while {{p|Mewtwo}} can be found at [[Cerulean Cave]].
* [[Cynthia]] makes an appearance in an event involving {{p|Arceus}}. This takes place in an area accessed from the [[Ruins of Alph]] that is far to the north, named the [[Sinjoh Ruins]]. This event allows players to obtain either {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, or {{p|Giratina}} at level 1. The only way to obtain the [[Griseous Orb]] and Origin Forme Giratina in this game is to choose Giratina during this event.
* The [[Enigma Stone]] is an event key item that features a use similar to that of the [[Eon Ticket]]. It can allow other Eon Pokémon to be encountered (i.e. Latios in HeartGold and Latias in SoulSilver, respectively).
* {{m|Headbutt}}ing trees to locate certain Pokémon makes its return. However, this time it can also be used to collect Pokémon from [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]] after the [[National Pokédex]] is acquired.
* The {{OBP|Gracidea|flower}} can be obtained in the flower shop in [[Goldenrod City]] by bringing any [[fateful encounter]] {{p|Shaymin}} to show them.
* [[Eusine]], a major character from {{game|Crystal}} who was not in the original Gold and Silver, appears, as do other aspects originally featured in Crystal.
* A new sidequest, the [[Pokéathlon]], features ten mini-games that pit Pokémon in athletic competitions. Its system appears to be analogous to that of {{pkmn|Contests}} from previous games.
[[Image:Pokewalker.png|thumb|right|150px|The Pokéwalker]]
* Like the [[Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter|GBA Wireless Adapter]] that came with {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, a bonus is included with the purchase of HeartGold and SoulSilver: a [[Poké Ball]]-shaped {{wp|pedometer}} called the [[Pokéwalker]] that has the capacity to link to the two games and hold a Pokémon. Storing a Pokémon in this manner increases its [[experience]] and [[happiness]] as the wearer walks. Other Pokémon can be captured in exclusive Pokéwalker-only areas and then transferred to the main game.
* [[Apricorn]]s are now the only items collected from plants on the field. [[Berry|Berries]] are instead collected from [[Juggler]]s in [[Violet City]] and [[Fuchsia City]] in exchange for [[shard]]s, through the [[Pokéwalker]]'s Dowsing function, hidden on the ground, or from the deliveryman in [[Poké Mart]]s sent by the player's [[mom]] (if the player allows their mom to save money). Because only a few berries cannot be collected in these games, they must by traded over from other versions, similar to that of FireRed and LeafGreen. Though they cannot be grown on the ground like in [[Hoenn]] or [[Sinnoh]], they can be grown portably using the [[Berry Pots]], where the [[Squirtbottle]] is controlled via the touch screen to water four berries at a time.
* Using the [[Apriblender]], Apricorns can now also be mixed into drinks that increase a Pokémon's Pokéathlon stats by putting Apricorns in the blender and walking around.
* The [[Running Shoes]] are obtained in [[Cherrygrove City]] and can be permanently selected using the touchscreen [[menu]]. The selected item (from pressing Y or SELECT in previous games) is also on the touchscreen. Two items can be selected as opposed to just one.
* Due to the absence of the [[Vs. Seeker]], the [[Pokégear]] reintroduces an improved cell phone feature with a limitless call list. However, [[rematch|re-battling]] Trainers is now dependent on the day and time.
* [[Starter Pokémon]] from Kanto and Hoenn can be collected from [[Professor Oak]] and [[Steven Stone]], respectively, as appreciation for defeating Red.
* [[Photography|Commemorative photos]] can now be taken around Johto and Kanto with the player's partner Pokémon, team, [[Gym Leader]]s, and certain notable citizens.
* An {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive {{p|Celebi}} unlocks an encounter with former [[Team Rocket]] boss and Viridian Gym Leader [[Giovanni]]. Giovanni was mentioned repeatedly in the original Gold and Silver, but did not appear.
* Many Pokémon have acquired the ability to learn new moves and expand and improve their movesets; for example, {{p|Togepi}} can now learn {{m|Extrasensory}} through breeding.
* The [[GB Sounds]], a key item obtained after all 16 badges have been obtained, allows players to swap the background music for the soundtrack from the original Gold and Silver, redone. New music tracks, such as the music that plays on Routes 47 and 48, also receive an 8-bit remix. However, not every track got an 8-bit remix and some can only be listened through the [[Pokémon Past Archive]] radio station in the Pokégear.
* When using the move {{m|Whirlpool}} outside of battle, instead of the whirlpool disappearing like in [[Generation II]], the player will simply surf over the whirlpools.
* Specific [[individual values]] may be passed down through {{pkmn|breeding}} depending on the [[EV-enhancing item]] that is held.
* The Trainers that appear in Viridian City's [[Trainer House]] are now influenced by communication through two Pokéwalkers as opposed to the previous method of Mystery Gifting with the Game Boy Color's infrared port due to it being available from the start.
* During the player's initial battle with the rival, he is known as Passerby Boy, unlike in Gold and Silver, where he was identified as ???. Players are still required to name him later.
* The man in Ilex Forest, who previously gave out the TM for {{m|Headbutt}} in Generation II has become a [[move tutor]] for that move. This is due to the fact that Headbutt is no longer a TM. Unlike other move tutors, he does not require anything from the player to tutor the move, and will do it as many times as the player would like.
* Similar to [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Pokémon Crystal]], the [[legendary beasts]] can be caught from the moment the player sees them fleeing in the [[Burned Tower]], with the exception of {{p|Suicune}} who can only be encountered in battle at {{rt|25|Kanto}}, instead of at the [[Bell Tower]]. Suicune can be seen running around in certain locations across Johto, as well as and Kanto.
*The map in the [[Pokégear]] has the same function as the {{DL|Pokétch|Marking Map}} for the Pokétch in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} to track [[roaming Pokémon]]. Additionally the player does not need to face {{p|Raikou}} or {{p|Entei}} (as well as {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}}) in battle first to be able to track them.
*Trainers in [[Kanto]] will now give out their Pokégear numbers, whereas only Trainers on Routes 26 and 27 would do so in the original games.
*In the original Gold and Silver, the real Janine was in the lower left corner of the Gym, while one of her Gym trainers was in the middle, where the Leader should be. This isn't the case in HeartGold and SoulSilver, where Janine was moved to the middle.
* It is now possible to Fly to the [[Pokémon League Reception Gate]]. It is also now possible to Fly between Indigo Plateau or the Reception Gate and any location in either Kanto or Johto. Curiously, however, it's not possible to Fly to the [[Pokémon Center]]s in [[Kanto Route 4|Routes 4]] and {{rtn|10|Kanto}}, whereas it was possible in FireRed and LeafGreen, but not in the original Gold and Silver.
* The clock reset interface from the original Pokémon Gold and Silver was removed, as was the case with {{g|Crystal}}. In its replacement is a microphone test interface which can be accessed via the button combination X,Y and Down on the title screen; though this feature, unlike the clock reset interface has been officially mentioned by Nintendo via the game instruction booklet.

==Pokémon==
As in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, the primary Pokémon of the remakes are native to the Johto and Kanto regions. Due to advances in gameplay since the second generation, the regional Pokédex used in Gold and Silver (the [[List of Pokémon by New Pokédex number|New Pokédex]]) has been updated to include those Pokémon which [[evolution|evolve]] upon learning a new [[move]]. Rather than simply excluding these evolutions (as {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} did with [[happiness]]-based evolutions), an improved [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto Pokédex]] was established with 256 Pokémon: five more than the New Pokédex.

Similarly to other recently released Pokémon games, Pokémon from outside the regional Pokédex can be captured after defeating the [[Elite Four]] and earning the [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex]]. Pokémon native to Sinnoh and Hoenn can be found in various methods. [[Mass Outbreak|Swarms]] of Pokémon sometimes break out across the Johto and Kanto regions; oftentimes these are not native to either of the regions. Pokémon from other regions can be located by playing one of two special stations on the [[Pokégear]]'s radio function. There is a channel for Sinnoh Pokémon which plays only on Thursdays; the Hoenn channel only plays on Wednesdays. By having either of these programs turned on when in [[tall grass]] the chance of finding a foreign Pokémon increases. The [[Bug Catching Contest]] also hosts, from time to time, Hoenn and Sinnoh Pokémon. They will only appear on Thursdays and Saturdays. The [[Johto Safari Zone]]'s customization option also allows for the finding of Pokémon from other regions.

In an apparent attempt to remove reliance on [[Generation III]] cartridges, [[starter Pokémon]] of Kanto and Hoenn can be obtained late in the game from [[Professor Oak]] and [[Steven Stone]] respectively. Some [[legendary Pokémon]] which were not included in the [[Generation II]] games, such as Kanto's [[legendary birds]] and {{p|Mewtwo}}, are also available.

As in all [[version|main series]] Pokémon games, there are a number of Pokémon which can be found in [[Version-exclusive Pokémon|one of the paired games, but not the other]]. A list of these Pokémon follows below.

==Trivia==
* Several figures were given away with pre-orders. People could receive a {{p|Ho-Oh}} figure by pre-ordering HeartGold, a {{p|Lugia}} figure by pre-ordering SoulSilver, and an {{p|Arceus}} figure by pre-ordering the Japanese versions of both HeartGold and SoulSilver.
* These games mark the tenth anniversary since the release of the original {{2v|Gold|Silver}}.
** The games were also released in Japan almost exactly one year after the Japanese release of {{game|Platinum}}, and exactly eleven years after {{game|Yellow}}, the first game to feature walking Pokémon.
* Unlike how {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} used completely different Trainer sprites from {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, many [[Trainer class]]es shared between regions, like Hikers and Psychics, keep their {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} sprites in battle.
* The font used for the English titles of these games are different than the font that has been used since {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, while the Japanese logos are still in the same style used since those games. FireRed and LeafGreen also used a different font than the Hoenn games, however, it was still the same color.
** Additionally, the Ho-Oh crest shaped like a heart and Lugia soul are used in the English logos, while the fire and leaf that appear on FireRed and LeafGreen's Japanese logos were not used in the English release.
* These games mark the first time that the English versions were announced before the games themselves came out in Japan.
* Because of [[HM05]]'s conversion from {{m|Defog}} to {{m|Whirlpool}}, these games are the only games in which all available HMs teach damaging moves (both Defog and Flash, contained in HM05, prevented this in previous games).
* These are the first games in which major characters offer their Pokémon for a trade with the player, with [[Gym Leader]]s [[Brock]], [[Lt. Surge]], [[Jasmine]], and [[Hoenn]]'s former Champion [[Steven Stone]] offering Pokémon of their specialty type in exchange for another.
** These are the first games in which an in-game trade accepts a Pokémon of any kind, with Jasmine accepting such in exchange for her Steelix.
* Unlike how {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}'s intro was an updated version of the opening from {{2v2|Red|Green}}, HeartGold and SoulSilver have an entirely new intro, using none of the footage from the intro of {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}. The intro however, uses some music that was in the original and the title screen displays 3D renders of Ho-Oh and Lugia in movement similar to the original title screens.
* HeartGold and SoulSilver include the {{pkmn|Champion}}s from each of the paired versions: {{ga|Blue}} from {{2v2|Red|Green}}, [[Lance]] from {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, [[Steven Stone]] from {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, and [[Cynthia]] from {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}.
* The credits of HeartGold and SoulSilver are the first to feature [[Gym Leader]]s, [[Elite Four]] members and [[villainous teams|villainous team]] members.
* There's a minor quirk involving the Poké Mart signs, in which they are sometimes shown to be placed ''on'' the roots of trees, making it appear as if it was built there.
* Another minor quirk is that the player will sometimes seem to be standing in the same spot as large Pokémon such as {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}}.
* The Pokédex entries for the Pokémon that existed in Gold and Silver are carried on over to HeartGold and SoulSilver, respectively, much as how FireRed used the entries from the Japanese Red and Green while LeafGreen used the entries from Blue.
* These titles are the first Pokémon games to be available domestically in {{pmin|Canada}} in French, other than just in English.
** Similarly, these titles are the second set of Pokémon games (after the original ''[[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]]'') to be released in Latin America in Spanish.
* In the Japanese versions of Gold and Silver, Phanpy and Donphan were exclusive to Gold, and Teddiursa and Ursaring were exclusive to Silver. In international versions of Gold and Silver, this was switched for unknown reasons: Teddiursa and Ursaring could be found in Gold, and Phanpy and Donphan could be found in Silver instead. However, ''all'' versions of HeartGold and SoulSilver have Phanpy/Donphan in HeartGold and Teddiursa/Ursaring in SoulSilver, making this inconsistent with international versions of Gold and Silver.
* HeartGold and SoulSilver, as well as {{2v2|Gold|Silver|s}}, have [[Gym Leader]] or [[Elite Four]] specialists for every type except the {{type|Ground}}.

===Errors===
*A typo exists in the script of the English versions. Upon evaluating the [[National Pokédex]] with at least 484 of the 493 Pokémon caught when talking to [[Professor Oak]], he, like in all the other Pokémon games he is in, will congratulate the player. However, in the sentence "Meeting you is something '''l''' will cherish all my life long!" of his speech, the lowercase L should be an I instead.
*Another typo exists in {{p|Froslass}}'s Pokédex entry in SoulSilver, the period at the end is missing. This is not the case in HeartGold.
*In {{p|Goldeen}}'s Pokédex entry, it refers to its speed as 5 knots per hour. A knot isn't a measure of distance, but speed. Thus, knots per hour measure acceleration.

'''Kabuto''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カブト''' ''Kabuto'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Water}} [[fossil]] Pokémon.

It is resurrected from a [[Dome and Helix Fossils|Dome Fossil]] and then evolves into {{p|Kabutops}} starting at [[level]] 40.

==Biology==
Kabuto is a fossil Pokémon no longer found in the wild, and must be resurrected from a [[Dome and Helix Fossils|Dome Fossil]].

===Physiology===
Kabuto is similar to a shellfish with a tan shell. There are two small black dots, which are a second pair of eyes, on the front of its shell. Kabuto uses these eyes when it hides deeper in its shell to protect itself from harm. Its black eyes sense what is going on outside of the shell while it is hiding. Underneath its shell is mostly black, with two red eyes, which glow in the dark, and four yellow-tan legs. Its shell turns into the fossil which is used to resurrect it.

It mostly attacks using its claws, which can scratch or drain energy.

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

====Special abilities====
Kabuto and its evolved form, {{p|Kabutops}}, favor using physical moves; whereas the {{p|Omanyte}}-line is more adept at special attacks. Kabuto also happens to be slightly faster than Omanyte while having weaker physical defense. It supposedly also has oils in its shells which can grant immortality; in the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]], many of their fossils revived in the light of a red moon.

===Behavior===
Much like a turtle or pill bug, if Kabuto is flipped over onto its back, it becomes defenseless as it cannot flip itself back over on its own.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Sea.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon}}]]
Kabuto are declared to be extinct, however, living samples have been found deep under the sea. Many are resurrected from [[Dome and Helix Fossils|Dome Fossils]], which can be found in [[Kanto]], [[Sinnoh]] and even [[Johto]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:OKO.png|thumb|220px|A Kabuto with an {{p|Omanyte}} and an {{p|Omastar}}]]
===Major Appearances===
Kabuto was one of the fossil Pokémon that attack {{Ash}} and [[Team Rocket]] until being scared off by {{p|Aerodactyl}} in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''.

In ''[[EP089|Shell Shock]]'', a "deranged old man" named [[Umberto]] was saying that an island full of Kabuto fossils would sink once the moon casted a red glow. He was right, because the fossils came to life and the island collapsed, since the fossils kept the island together.

===Minor Appearances===
[[Bill]] was trapped in a Kabuto costume at the beginning of ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]''.

In ''[[DP108|Dealing With Defensive Types!]]'', a Kabuto, along with an {{p|Omanyte}} and {{p|Omastar}} attacked [[Team Rocket]] in the [[Canalave Gym]].

A Kabuto fossil is seen in [[BW014]] as an exhibit in the [[Shippou]] City Museum.

==Trivia==
* Kabuto's prototype name was "Att," which is derived from the word "{{wp|Atlantis}}."
* The Red and Blue sprites show that Kabuto has a smooth shell. In subsequent generations, it is shown with dimples in its shell.
* Kabuto and {{p|Kabutops}} share the same [[species]] name with {{p|Blastoise}}. They are all known as Shellfish Pokémon.
* In {{v2|Yellow}}, Kabuto can learn {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Mega Kick}} by [[TM]]. It cannot learn these moves by any other means in later games.
** In the [[Generation III]] games, Kabuto can learn {{m|Aerial Ace}} from [[TM40]], but can't learn in later generation with the same TM.
* Kabuto is one of 5 Kanto Pokémon that had had its base experience yield changed in [[Generation III]]. The others are {{p|Abra}}, {{p|Machop}}, {{p|Geodude}} and {{p|Omanyte}}.
* Kabuto's shiny form has a green shell. This could be moss, since it lives underwater.

===Origin===
Kabuto's design consists of a mix of {{wp|trilobite}} and the still-living (but considered a living fossil) {{wp|horseshoe crab}}.

===Name origin===
Kabuto's name comes from 兜蟹 ''kabutogani'', horseshoe crab. 兜 ''Kabuto'' is also the Japanese word for "helmet" and the traditional helmet for samurai warriors.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Kabuto
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Kabuto
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 투구 ''Tugu'' - A shortening of ''tuguge'', ({{wp|tachypleus tridentatus}}).
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 化石盔 ''Huà Shí Kuī'' - Literally "Fossil helmet".

'''Geodude''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イシツブテ''' ''Isitsubute'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Ground}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Graveler}} starting at [[level]] 25, who evolves into {{p|Golem}} via [[trade]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Geodude is a gray boulder with bulging rocky eyebrows, brown irises, and muscular five-fingered arms. It levitates, though is not {{a|Levitate|unaffected from attacks from the ground}}.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
It has a {{a|Rock Head|hard head}} and a {{a|Sturdy|sturdy body}}. {{m|Rock Throw|Throwing rocks}} is a common type of offense by Geodude. As Geodude is also a Ground-type, it can use moves like {{m|Earthquake}}. Geodude also possesses the ability to {{m|Explosion|explode}}.

===Behavior===
Geodude usually sit still on mountain paths or in [[caves]], which is why they are often mistaken for rocks. Geodude uses its arms to steadily climb steep mountain paths, hoisting itself over. Geodude also uses its arms to swing its fists around when angered, such as when it is carelessly stepped upon. Geodude are proud of their sturdy bodies and bash against each other in a contest of sorts to prove whose body is harder. When Geodude sleeps deeply, it buries itself halfway into the ground, and will not awaken even if it is stepped upon. In the morning Geodude rolls downhill in search of food.

===Habitat===
[[File:Mountain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon}}]]
Geodude can be most often found on mountain trails, fields, under rocks, or in caves. They are a common sight in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

===Minor appearances===
[[Danny]], the [[Navel Island]] [[Gym Leader]], used one to help create and ride a sledge as part of the challenges in ''[[EP093|Navel Maneuvers]]''.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Geodude makes cameos in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}} in ''[[PS005|Onix is On!]]'' standing next to [[Brock]], suggesting that he is its owner and in ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]'' as a [[wild Pokémon]].

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Geodude is the final Poké Float to appear. As the {{p|Unown}} float around the top half of the screen, Geodude floats across the bottom with its arms outstretched, providing a solid base for fighting. After it leaves the screen, there will be no Poké Floats on the screen for a few seconds, before Squirtle pops up and restarts the cycle.

==Trivia==
* Geodude is one of five Generation I Pokémon that had its base experience yield changed in [[Generation III]]. Its former base experience was 86. The others are {{p|Abra}}, {{p|Machop}}, {{p|Omanyte}}, and {{p|Kabuto}}.
* Geodude, along with its evolutions, have been in all Japan-centric [[List of Pokémon that appear in every regional Pokédex| regional Pokédexes]].
* Geodude has been used by all of the Gym Leaders specializing in the {{type2|Rock}}. However, [[Brock]] does not use Geodude in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] as he did in [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]], though he does use its evolved form, {{p|Graveler}}, and in the [[Fighting Dojo]], it evolves into a {{p|Golem}}.
* Geodude are sometimes shown as being able to float as there is a circular shadow underneath them starting in [[Generation III]] and onwards. It was also shown floating in the [[Pokémon Stadium series|Stadium]] games and in the [[Pikachu Short]], ''[[PK07|Pikachu & Pichu]].'' Despite all of these factors it cannot have the {{a|Levitate}} ability or learn {{m|Magnet Rise}}.
* In one episode of ''{{wp|Fillmore!}}'', a cheerleading coach instructs her team to build a human pyramid "as strong as a Geodude using its {{m|Harden}} attack". However, Geodude and its evolutions became unable to learn Harden after [[Generation II]].
* Geodude's shiny form resembles a gold nugget.
* Despite it being named Geo''dude'' it can be either male or female.
===Origin===
Geodude may be intended to be nothing more than a living boulder.

====Name origin====
Geodude's name may be a combination of the prefix ''geo'', earth, and ''dude'', a slang word for a male. It may also be from {{wp|geode}}, a usually hollow volcanic rock with crystal inside, and dude. ''Isitsubute'' is a combination of 石 ''ishi'', stone, and 礫 ''tsubute'', throwing stones, literally "a stone throwing stones".

'''Arceus''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アルセウス''' ''Arceus'') is a {{type2|Normal}} [[legendary Pokémon]]. However, its type will change when it is holding one of sixteen items known as [[plates]] and can in reality be any type.

Like {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}} before it, Arceus was not officially recognized by Nintendo until February 2009, the year of its debut movie. It was later revealed by the [[Pokémon.com|official site]] on August 3rd, 2009.

Arceus is also known as "The Original One," as it is said that it created [[Sinnoh]], and possibly the entire [[Pokémon universe]], along with the [[lake guardians]] and [[creation trio]]. Arceus can only be found in the wild legitimately with the [[Azure Flute]], which has not yet been distributed [[Nintendo event|officially]] and can currently only be obtained by cheating. However, Arceus itself was distributed via multiple Nintendo events in 2009 and 2010.

Arceus is the final Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex]] within [[Generation IV]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Arceus is an equine being similar to a {{wp|Qilin}} or {{wp|Centaur}}. Its body color is white with a gray, vertically-striated underside, the pattern of which has similar recurrences on the underside of Arceus's mane, tail, and face, and Arceus's four pointed feet are tipped with gold hooves. Its mane is quite long, jutting away from its head, and its face is gray, with green eyes and red pupils, and a green circular pattern below its eyes. Arceus also has a streak of gold coloration on its head, and ears that point upward. Its neck is fairly long, with two pairs of extrusions to the sides, and a flap-like feature on the neck's underside that is colored white like much of the body. It also has a golden cross-like wheel attached to its body by its round abdomen, which changes color along with its eyes and hooves based on Arceus's {{t|{{arceustype}}|current type}}. The wheel also has four jewels attached to it. The pattern of striated gray of Arceus's underbelly resumes past Arceus's waist, the underside of Arceus's limbs also being gray in coloration, and with extrusions at the tops of the legs. Arceus's tail is fairly like its mane in shape and coloration.

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

====Special abilities====
[[File:Arceus_Formes.gif|right|thumb|An animation displaying Arceus's different colorings while holding plates]]
According to legend, Arceus is thought to have created the [[Sinnoh]] region and possibly the entire [[Pokémon world]], the [[lake guardians]]: {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and the [[creation trio]]: {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}.

Arceus is {{a|Multitype|multifarious}}; it can change forms and types with the use of the special [[plate]]s.

Arceus is [[signature move|the only known]] Pokémon who can learn {{m|Judgment}}. Arceus can also use many attacks of various types, but to a lesser extent than {{p|Smeargle}} or {{p|Mew}}. Arceus is also the only non-Dragon-type Pokémon other than Smeargle who can learn {{m|Draco Meteor}}, although it must become a {{type2|Dragon}} (by holding a {{DL|Plate|Draco Plate}}) in order to learn it.

According to the anime, its power can also bring back things that it once destroyed or make certain things vanish into thin air. Arceus also has the ability to halt time.

===Behavior===
While normally a kind, heroic and benevolent Pokémon, Arceus does not suffer fools gladly, and will attack in a violent rampage if betrayed or deceived. It also holds long grudges if angered.

===Habitat===
Arceus lives at the [[Hall of Origin]], which can only be accessed by use of the [[Azure Flute]] at [[Spear Pillar]]. However, in the [[M12|twelfth Pokémon movie]], it seems to live in a wide dimension of stars and galaxies.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
In ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' it is said to "feed" off the energy of the elemental plates, but is seen in the games holding a Rowap Berry.

==In the anime==
[[File:Arceus movie 12.png|thumb|250px|right|{{mov|Arceus|Arceus|12}} in the anime]]
{{an|Arceus}} made its debut in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. It was angry at the people of [[Michina Town]] for [[Damos]]'s unwitting betrayal of it in ancient times, and so attempted to destroy the land. When Ash and his friends are teleported by {{an|Dialga}} to ancient times, they directly influence the event, changing the future for the better so that Arceus will stop its destruction.

In ''[[DP152|Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', although Arceus is neither seen nor named, but the [[Red Chain]] is said to contain the power of 'The Original One'. Using the Red Chain, Cyrus takes control of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} by causing a red ring similar to the one surrounding Arceus's body to appear around their bodies.

Arceus makes a cameo in the opening ''[[The Greatest - Everyday!]]'' and ''[[We Will Carry On]]'', along with the [[creation trio]].

==In the manga==
[[Image:Arceus Adventures.png|thumb|right|250px|Arceus as it appears in Pokémon Adventures]]Arceus appears as a central character in the Movie 12 manga adaptation, reprising its role from the film. After Arceus saved the world from a meteor, [[Damos]] took care of it. It gave Damos the [[Jewel of Life]] to make the land of [[Michina]] rich and fertile. Damos then betrayed Arceus, and it has been outraged ever since.

In [[Pokémon Adventures]], {{adv|Gold}} and his team battle a wild Arceus in the opening pages of the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, and even [[Exbo]]'s powerful {{m|Blast Burn}} attack is unable to damage the incredible beast.

A few rounds later, it is revealed that it showed up in front of {{adv|Crystal}} and the [[Team Rocket]] Executives, and the former tried to catch it.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Arceus (TCG)}}
Arceus appears in the TCG in all nine {{TCG|elemental types}}, and a player can have as many Arceus cards in their deck as they like, unlike all other cards in the game (besides {{TCG|Basic Energy card}}s). Cards based on Arceus first appeared in the {{TCG|Platinum: Arceus|Arceus}} expansion set.

[[File:Spr 4p 493-Unknown.png|thumb|right|Normal-color sprite for {{type2|???}} Arceus]][[File:Spr 4p 493-Unknown s.png|thumb|right|{{pkmn2|Shiny}} sprite for {{type2|???}} Arceus]]
* At level 80, Arceus is the second-highest level Pokémon available for capture in the wild, after the {{p|Magikarp}} in the [[Resort Area]] in {{game|Platinum}} (which can be caught at any level). However, the [[Azure Flute]] needed to encounter it has never been made officially available.
* Arceus's English name has had three different pronunciations. Before it was officially revealed, fans pronounced it as "AR-see-oos", as does [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]. Then, a promotional trailer for ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' pronounced it as "Ar-SAY-us". Its official pronunciation was then revealed in a [[Pokémon.com]] mailbag as "ARK-ee-us". Its original pronunciation is still in popular usage and isn't considered to be incorrect.
* Arceus's [[base stat]] total is 720, higher than any other Pokémon.
** In its base form, Arceus has the highest [[base stat]] in {{stat|Defense}} of all {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.
* All Generation IV games have sprites for Arceus using its Multitype ability with all 18 types, including {{type2|???}}. It is disputed whether the ???-type Arceus is obtainable, as there is no [[plate]] in the code that can be used for this. It is possible this sprite was programmed in to prevent game crashes caused by tampering with Arceus's type.
* Arceus's signature move, {{m|Judgment}}, is the only move that Arceus is guaranteed [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] for, as it is always the same type as Arceus itself. However, on the battle screen, Judgment is always displayed as a {{type2|Normal}} attack.
* Even though it is said that Arceus created the world with its thousand arms, it is not shown to have any arms at all, nor can it learn hand-based or arm-based moves.
* Holding the [[Toxic Plate]], Arceus is the only legendary {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon.
* {{m|Earth Power}} is the only move with a fixed base power, besides {{m|Judgment}}, that Arceus learns by level-up which can receive [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] with a plate attached.
* Arceus is the only event-exclusive [[trio master]], needing the [[Azure Flute]] to be encountered in {{3v|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.
** Furthermore, Arceus is the only trio master of two [[Lake guardians|different]] [[creation trio|trios]].
* Arceus is the only Pokémon to never officially receive a [[List of Pokémon by Diamond & Pearl Battle Pokédex number|DPBP number]]. {{p|Kadabra}}, which was not released as a TCG card during the DPBP era, is assumed to be #070, as {{p|Abra}} and {{p|Alakazam}} are #069 and #071, respectively.
* The ring around Arceus's body appears to have a malevolent counterpart in the embodiment of the [[Red Chain]], as a red version of it is shown to ring Dialga and Palkia around the middle when [[Cyrus]] takes control of them in ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]''
* Arceus is one of three Pokémon that can learn all of the moves ever obtainable as [[HM]]s. The two others are {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Smeargle}}.
* Arceus is the one who is rumored to have prevented all Pokémon in the future from disappearing in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]]. Dialga explains that it "was no miracle" that they were saved, and that a "greater power" saved them all. Arceus is the leader of the creation trio, of which Dialga is a member.
* Arceus, being the only Pokémon that can learn the move {{m|Judgment}}, by level-up, is also the only Pokémon that can learn a move by level-up which changes type to a held plate.
===Origin===
Arceus is particularly based on a {{wp|creator deity}}, present in many world cultures. The conception of the first god might be influenced from {{wp|Kunitokotachi}} and {{wp|Amenominakanushi}}, who, according to {{wp|Shinto}} myth, summoned {{wp|Izanami}} and {{wp|Izanagi}} to create Japan with the spear. It may also be a reference to the Chinese mythical creature, the {{wp|Qilin}}. Its myth is nearly identical to that of the {{wp|Pangu}}, the Chinese creation deity. Arceus may also be inspired by (or a representation of) the bodhisattva {{wp|Avalokiteśvara}}, who, in {{wp|Buddhism}}, is either pictured with eleven heads and one thousand arms (the latter of which is mentioned in Arceus's flavor text) or in a {{wp|Chenrezig|white four-armed manifestation}} (which could look similar to Arceus's Normal form). Some inspiration may have come from a {{wp|horse}}, because of its Platinum sprite and attack movements in Pokémon Battle Revolution. Arceus also shares many characteristics with an {{wp|alpaca}}

====Name origin====
Arceus's name may come from the words ''arch'' (highest) and ''deus'', which is Latin for ''god''. It may also have a root in the Latin word ''arcanus'', which means ''secret; sacred mystery''. Arceus's name may also come from the word ''archaic'' (ancient), which comes from the Greek ''arkhaios'', and is derived from the ancient Greek word for "beginning", ''arkhē''. It could have also come from the Latin word ''archetypus'' (original). Alternatively, Arceus's name can be seen as a portmanteau of ''Zeus'', the most powerful of Greek gods and ''arch'' (highest). Another theory may be the combination of Zeus and Ra spelled backwards (Zeus being the king of gods and Ra being the solar god and creator, albeit in different pantheons). Those two qualities are shared by the Pokémon. Also, Arceus can also be derived from ''aureus'' (golden), possibly referring to its hooves and wheel. Nevertheless, Arceus's name origin and possible theories have led fans to believe that Arceus may be in fact a {{wp|creator deity}} in Pokémon form. Arceus's name is pronounced with a soft "c" (or "s" sound) by the announcer in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]; in keeping with its probable name origin, it is pronounced with a hard "c" (or "k" sound) in television commercials and in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. Its name could also come from arc, as in round/ring, since it's surrounded by one.
