==={{g|Mystery Dungeon series}}===
In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Darkness|Explorers of Time, Darkness}}, and {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky}}, Adaptability increases {{STAB}} from 1.5× to 2×.

In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity}} and {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, the boost is instead from 1.2× to 1.5×.

==={{g|UNITE}}===
In {{g|UNITE}}, Adaptability is the Ability of an {{p|Eevee}} that will evolve into an {{p|Sylveon}}. It increases the user's Special Attack by 5% for 1.5s, when it deals or receives damage, stacking up to 4 times. This becomes {{a|Pixilate}} upon evolving.

** {{p|Corphish}} and {{p|Crawdaunt}} may be based on the {{wp|red swamp crayfish}}, which is native to {{wp|North America}}, but invasive in other countries such as {{wp|Japan}} (including {{wp|Kyushu}} which [[Hoenn]] is based on)
** {{p|Feebas}}, {{p|Basculin}}, and {{p|Basculegion}} appear to be based on the {{wp|largemouth bass}}, which is native to eastern North America, but invasive elsewhere.
** {{p|Yungoos}} and {{p|Gumshoos}} appear to be based on {{wp|mongoose}}s, which were introduced to {{wp|Hawaii}} (the inspiration for the [[Alola]] region) and other island ecosystems mostly to fight off invasive {{wp|rats}} (referencing its rivalry with {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Rattata}} and {{p|Raticate}}).
** {{p|Glimmora}} (and by extension Mega Glimmora) might be loosely based on the {{wp|blue passionflower}}, which is native to {{wp|South America}}, but was introduced to {{wp|Spain}} (the inspiration for the [[Paldea]] region) and now grows in the wild there.

'''Snorlax''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カビゴン''' ''Kabigon'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Munchlax}} when [[friendship Evolution|leveled up with high friendship]].

Snorlax can [[Gigantamax]] into '''Gigantamax Snorlax''' if it has the {{DL|Gigantamax|Gigantamax Factor}}. An additional form of Snorlax, called '''Mossy''', appears exclusively in [[Pokémon Pokopia]] (as a character named [[Mosslax]]).

In Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}} games, their [[remake]]s, and {{g|X and Y}}, [[Wild Pokémon|wild]] Snorlax can be found sleeping in inconvenient locations. In order to catch one, a [[Pokémon Trainer]] must first awaken it with music from either a [[Poké Flute]] or the [[Pokégear]] set to the Poké Flute channel.

Snorlax is the [[game mascot]] of {{g|Sleep}}, appearing on the game's logo.

==Biology==
[[File:Snorlax swimming.png|thumb|left|220px|Snorlax swimming in the sea]]
Snorlax is a huge, bipedal, dark blue-green {{wp|mammal}}ian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a cream-colored face, belly, and feet. Its body is composed of mostly its belly, as its limbs are comparatively small. Its head is large with small, pointed ears, and two pointed teeth protruding from its lower jaw. It has round feet, which both have three claws and a circular brown paw pad, and short arms with five claws on each hand. Snorlax's bulk makes it the [[List of Pokémon by weight|heaviest]] {{t|Normal}} type.

Snorlax is often found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountains and forests}}. It wakes up only to eat, requiring between 880-900 lbs. (399-400 kg) of food per day before returning to its slumber, although it can also eat while it is resting. It is not a picky eater, as its strong stomach allows it to eat even eat thorny plants, moldy food and [[Immunity|digest any kind of poison]] without feeling any ill effects. Once a Snorlax enters its slumber, it is almost impossible to wake it up. A [[Poké Flute]] is one of the few things that can awaken Snorlax from its slumber. Snorlax is docile enough to let children and small Pokémon bounce on its large stomach. Despite its apparent laziness, however, Snorlax can exhibit tremendous power when prompted. In the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP094|Snack Attack]]'', Snorlax is shown to be capable of swimming in the water. Snorlax is known to appear without warning in villages and steal their food supplies, such as rice granaries, which has long been considered a disaster whenever it happens. Snorlax also tends to sleep on areas with bridges, often blocking others from crossing through. [[Professor Neroli]] does research on Snorlax, particularly on their ability to attract Pokémon around them to sleep. A lot of Pokémon tend to gather around Snorlax to sleep near it or on it.

Snorlax is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Pulverizing Pancake}}.
{{left clear}}
===Forms===
[[File:143Snorlax-Gigantamax 2.png|thumb|left|250px|Gigantamax Snorlax attacking]]
Snorlax has a [[Gigantamax]] form.

As Gigantamax Snorlax, seeds and small pebbles that were tangled in its belly fur go through immense growth, causing patches of grass, bushes, rocks, and a large tree to sprout upon its belly. The tree has three red clouds circling it. The {{Berries}} that grow on Gigantamax Snorlax's tree include a [[Sitrus Berry]], a [[Magost Berry]], and a [[Haban Berry]].

Gigantamax Snorlax almost never moves; even when in battle it only slightly lifts its body and attacks by flailing with its arms and legs. However, its attacks are very powerful — Gigantamax Snorlax is considered to be one of the strongest [[Dynamax]] Pokémon to have been discovered.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/gigantamax-snorlax/ Gigantamax Snorlax | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>

Gigantamax Snorlax is the only known Pokémon capable of using the [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Replenish}}.

====Mossy Snorlax====
A particular Snorlax, named [[Mosslax]], has a unique spin-off form called Mossy.

Mossy Snorlax's body is entirely covered in green moss, with its arms hidden within it. It has a white flower on top of its head. This unusual appearance is because Mossy Snorlax has been asleep for an extended period, allowing moss to grow around it and effectively masking the unique features of the Snorlax.

The reason for its long slumber stems from being in a bad mood after losing a fight to an unknown Pokémon. However, during its extended sleep, Mossy Snorlax completely forgot about the Pokémon that defeated it. The only way to awaken this particular Snorlax is through a powerful lightning strike.

===Evolution===
Snorlax evolves from {{p|Munchlax}}.

===NPC appearances===
====In the core series====
*These notable Trainers have a Snorlax:
** {{ga|Red}} owns a Snorlax in all appearances as the NPC. As Red is represpentative of the [[player character]] from the [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]] [[Kanto]]-based games, it is likely one of two Snorlax found throughout the games. Snorlax is one of Red's most recurring and representative Pokémon, appearing frequently beside his {{tp|Red|Pikachu}} and {{p|Venusaur}}.
** [[Anabel]]'s main partner is a Snorlax, who appears in all battles against the player in {{g|Emerald}} and [[Generation VII]].
** [[Barry]]'s {{p|Munchlax}} evolves into his Snorlax throughout the plot of {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} and their remakes, {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}.
** [[Koji Nishino]], a real developer at [[GAME FREAK]] uses a Snorlax in [[Generation V]], a reference to the fact that the Pokémon was modeled after him.
** In [[Generation VII]], [[Professor Kukui]] uses a Snorlax against the player at the [[Alola Pokémon League]].
** Also in Generation VII, the [[Masked Royal]] will use a Snorlax in optional battles in the [[Battle Royal Dome]]. This may be considered the same Snorlax as Kukui's.
** [[Hop]] will use a Snorlax partway through {{g|Sword and Shield}}. He will rotate in and out of its usage.
** In {{g|Sword and Shield}} another GAME FREAK staff member, [[Shigeki Morimoto]], also uses a Snorlax. This Snorlax can [[Gigantamax]].
** [[Kamado]] has a Snorlax in all battles against the player in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. It can be seen as a parallel to [[Professor Rowan]]'s own {{p|Munchlax}}.
*A Snorlax appears on the [[Pokétch]]'s timer.

====In the spin-off games====
* {{vg|Pokémon Ranger}}: Snorlax will be seen sleeping throughout the game, effectively cutting off certain areas until later on. It will eventually remain in a cave in the [[Sekra Range]]. Once the rest of the [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Ranger Browser]] has been completed, it will wake up and can be captured.
* [[Pokémon Sleep]]: {{Sleep|Snorlax}} is a central character in the game, attracting other Pokémon to sleep beside it via Drowsy Power.
* [[Pokémon Pokopia]]: A Snorlax named [[Mosslax]] is a supporting character in the game.

{{main|Snorlax (TCG)}}

==Other appearances==
[[File:Snorlax SSBB.png|thumb|200px|Snorlax in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]===
When released from a {{i|Poké Ball}}, Snorlax will ascend into the air before descending over a large area of the screen with a {{m|Body Slam}} that sends any opponent underneath flying.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Snorlax does the same maneuver as it did in the previous game, but covers a smaller area.

Snorlax is also a [[Poké Floats|Poké Float]]. It is lying down asleep and so fighting occurs on its head and belly.

====Melee trophy information====
''Snorlax love to sleep and love to eat: these portly Pokémon get grumpy if they don't get 888 pounds of food per day. After snacking out, they always nap. They have cast-iron stomachs and can eat moldy and even rotten food with no digestion problems. They are the heaviest Pokémon on record, weighing in at over 1,000 pounds.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Snorlax once again performs the same maneuver as the previous games.

====Brawl trophy information====
''"A Sleeping Pokémon. It's the ultimate loafer. Sometimes children like to play on top its big belly. Once in a slumber, not even the hardest rain or the fiercest wind will wake it. Snorlax recovers health and restores its physical state by sleeping, and it proves daunting with its damaging {{m|Snore}} attack. Snorlax is the king of Sleeping Pokémon."''

===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
[[File:Snorlax SSB4.png|thumb|240px|Snorlax in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS.]]
[[File:Snorlax_3DS_trophy_SSB4.png|thumb|left|150px|Snorlax trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'']]
Snorlax reappears as a Poké Ball summon in these games, behaving the same way as before.

Snorlax also appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.

It is also a tour item in the Wii U version's Smash Tour. If a player uses it on the board, they are unable to be launched for that turn.

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''This sleepy, Normal-type Pokémon is huge! It eats more than 900 lb. of food every day. Most of the time not spent eating is spent sleeping. That big, round body comes in handy when it's brought onto a Smash Bros. battlefield—the Body Slam attack will send anyone who gets hit flying into the air!''

'''PAL''': ''Snorlax is often referred to as the Sleeping Pokémon, and there's a good reason for that! This giant loafer spends almost all its time snoozing, getting up for just long enough each day to scoff up a tidy 400kg of food. In this game, it soars into the air and uses its Body Slam attack, smacking into fighters like a giant wrecking ball.''
{{-}}

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Snorlax reappears as a {{i|Poké Ball}} summon, retaining its behavior from past games. It also appears as a {{sbw|Spirit}}. In the Spirit Battle, Snorlax, who is depicted as a giant gray {{sbw|King K. Rool}}, is immobile but has 500 HP and slowly regains HP. The player fails if they cannot KO Snorlax before the time runs out. This battle occurs on {{sbw|Tortimer Island}}.

==Trivia==
* In several 3D games, such as in the core series and [[Pokémon Stadium series]], Snorlax open their eyes when they faint.
* In [[Pokémon Snap]], Snorlax stands up and dances to the music when the [[Poké Flute]] is used.
* In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, if the {{player}} interacts with a Snorlax that is {{pkmn2|walking}} with them while at [[Mt. Silver]], the message "SNORLAX is feeling very eager" will appear. This is due to {{ga|Red}}, who is also at Mt. Silver, owning a Snorlax as well. While the player is on Mt. Silver, unique messages will also appear if the player interacts with a walking {{p|Pikachu}} or {{p|Charizard}}.
* In {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, Snorlax is programmed to be able to learn {{m|Charm}} through {{pkmn|breeding}}, but no other Pokémon in the {{egg2|Monster}} can legitimately learn it to pass down as an [[Egg Move]] in those games. In [[Generation III]] on, Snorlax can inherit the move from {{p|Bulbasaur}} by chain breeding.
* Snorlax's evolutionary line is the only one to have all of its members appear from a {{i|Poké Ball}} within a single [[Super Smash Bros.]] game.
* In {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, Snorlax is the only Pokémon to receive a +40 catch rate modifier when a [[Heavy Ball]] is used.
** In {{game|Crystal}}, a [[List of glitches in Generation II#Heavy Ball junk data glitch|bug]] causes the capture formula for the [[Heavy Ball]] to incorrectly retrieve the weights of {{p|Kadabra}}, {{p|Tauros}}, and {{p|Sunflora}}, so they also get a +40 catch rate modifier.
* Snorlax is the only {{DL|List of Pokémon by color|black}} Pokémon introduced in Generation I.
* Snorlax is tied with {{p|Gengar}} for the most [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', with a total of 7.
* Snorlax is the subject of a campaign known as [[Project Snorlax]], which was launched by [[The Pokémon Company]] on March 17, 2023.
* Snorlax's English name was suggested by Bill Giese, who assisted in the naming of many [[Generation I]] Pokémon.<ref name=MonsterKids />
* Snorlax, {{p|Pikachu}}, and {{p|Eevee}} are the only Pokémon to have access to both [[Gigantamax]] and an exclusive [[Z-Move]].
** Snorlax is the only fully-evolved Pokémon with this distinction.

===Design variations===
{{main|Pokémon controversies#Four-fingered hands|Pokémon controversies → Four-fingered hands}}
Snorlax was originally depicted with an inconsistent number of claws on its hands. In its original artwork for {{game|Red and Green|s}}, Snorlax had four claws on each of its hands. This is also seen in the early {{pkmn|manga}}, such as [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] and [[Ash and Pikachu]], and in Snorlax's [[Bandai Pokémon Carddass Cards|Carddass]] card art.

In its artwork for {{game|Red and Blue|s}} and its front sprites prior to {{game|Emerald}}, as well as in early depictions in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, Snorlax only has three visible claws on each hand. Notably, despite having five fingers in its artwork for {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, only three claws are visible in its front sprite for those games.

Snorlax has always been depicted with five fingers in {{aniseries|PTS}}, including the [[original series]], and from Emerald onward, it is consistently depicted with five fingers across media.

A few of Snorlax's early sprites and artwork can be seen below. For the rest of Snorlax's sprites, see its [[#Sprites|Sprites]] section. For more images, see [[a:Category:Snorlax|Snorlax images on the Bulbagarden Archives]].

===Concept and development===
Snorlax was designed by [[Ken Sugimori]].<ref>[https://www.yomiuri.co.jp/fukayomi/20180501-OYT8T50139/1/ Page 1 of Yomiuri interview] with [[Ken Sugimori]], [[Kōji Nishino]], and [[Atsuko Nishida]] (Japanese)</ref>

===Origin===

Snorlax's appearance and behavior of constantly eating and sleeping were directly inspired by [[Game Freak]] planner [[Kōji Nishino]].<ref>[https://www.yomiuri.co.jp/fukayomi/20180501-OYT8T50139/2/ Page 2 of Yomiuri interview] with [[Ken Sugimori]], [[Kōji Nishino]], and [[Atsuko Nishida]] (Japanese)</ref><ref name=GameInformer /> Additionally, Snorlax may be loosely based on {{wp|hibernation|hibernating}} {{wp|bear}}s or {{wp|teddy bear}}s. It may also be based on a {{wp|Postprandial somnolence|food coma}}, as it eats large quantities of food, then takes a nap, both of which are symptomatic of the condition. Snorlax's Gigantamax form resembles a small hill or nature park.

====Name origin====

Snorlax is a combination of ''snore'' and ''[[Wiktionary:lax|lax]]'' or ''[[Wiktionary:lackadaisical|lackadaisical]]''. It was reportedly derived from ''Esquilax'', the name of a nonexistent medieval creature described in ''{{wp|The Simpsons}}'' episode "{{wp|Lisa's Wedding}}".<ref name=MonsterKids>Dockery, Daniel (October 4, 2022). ''[[Monster Kids: How Pokémon Taught a Generation to Catch Them All]]''. Running Press. p. 33. ISBN 978-0762479504.</ref> Snorlax may also involve ''relax''.<ref>(2006). ''[[Pokémon Fan (US)|Pokémon Fan]]: 10th Anniversary News Booklet'', p. 8 ([https://archive.org/details/10-anni-book/ Archive])</ref>

Kabigon is derived from ''{{wk|Kirby}}'' (Japanese: カービィ ''Kābī''), the eponymous main character of [[Nintendo]]'s {{wk|Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' video game series}}. In an interview with Game Informer, [[Junichi Masuda]] stated that Kōji Nishino, the main inspiration for Snorlax, used to be called "Kirby" by Game Freak staff as a nod to his large appetite.<ref name=GameInformer>Shea, Brian (October 24, 2019). "[https://web.archive.org/web/20230805233026/https://www.gameinformer.com/interview/2019/10/24/more-burning-questions-for-the-pokemon-series More Burning Questions For The Pokémon Series]."

'''Pangoro''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゴロンダ''' ''Goronda'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fighting|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pancham}} starting at [[level]] 32, if the {{player}} has a {{type|Dark}} Pokémon in their party.

==Biology==
Pangoro is a large bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling a humanoid panda bear. It has a stocky build with a round belly, short legs, and long arms with large paws. Its head and belly are covered in thick white fur, while its lower body, chest, arms, and back are covered in equally thick dark gray fur. A long cape of this dark gray fur hangs down behind its back; in combination with the rest of the dark-furred pattern, this gives the impression that Pangoro is wearing a long coat and trousers. Pangoro's three-fingered paws have shorter, darker fur and are tipped with black claws. It has a blunt snout with a triangular black nose, rounded black ears, prominent fangs in its lower jaw, and black semicircles under its brow that make its eyes indistinguishable. Pangoro likes to carry a thin-stemmed shoot with two leaves in its mouth. This small bamboo shoot is used to sense the movements of those around it.

Despite its cantankerous demeanor, Pangoro is kind to those it considers to be its friends and it does not tolerate those who pick on the weak. With arms powerful enough to snap a telephone pole, it charges into battle like a berserker, heedless of any damage it might suffer. Pangoro can destroy a dump truck in one punch and utilizes this strength when pummeling its opponents. Many {{pkmn|Trainer}}s find themselves smitten with its lively nature; however, those who wish to train a Pangoro for themselves will have to fight one. It lives to engage in duels with {{p|Obstagoon}}.

Prior to [[Generation VII]], Pangoro and its pre-evolved form, Pancham, were the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Parting Shot}}.

===Evolution===
Pangoro evolves from {{p|Pancham}}.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]].)

==Trivia==
* Pangoro was designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[http://hitoshiariga.deviantart.com/art/Pocket-Monsters-XY-413536751 Pocket Monsters XY by HitoshiAriga on deviantART]</ref> However, he did not design its pre-evolved form; [[Megumi Mizutani]] did.<ref>Creator profile on Megumi Mizutani in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Illustration Collection]], p. 178: "She was in charge of the design for Mienshao and Pancham, among other Pokémon, as well as the design of and official illustrations for Gym Leaders, Pokémon Trainers, and other human characters."</ref>

===Origin===
Pangoro seems to be based on a {{wp|panda bear}}. Considering how its pre-Evolution needs to be around Dark-type Pokémon as a prerequisite for its Evolution, its hot-blooded, belligerent, yet virtuous attitude, and features such as a coat-like cape and chewing stick, Pangoro also appears to draw inspiration from {{wp|Banchō (position)#Juvenile delinquency|banchō}}, Japanese juvenile-delinquent leaders. The method of Evolution may imply that the pure Fighting-type Pancham acquired its {{t|Dark}} type after Evolution due to being led astray by a "bad influence". Its {{Shiny}} coloration could be a reference to the {{wp|Qinling panda}}, whose coloring tends to be more brown than black.

====Name origin====
Pangoro and Goronda may be a combination of ごろつき ''gorotsuki'' (rogue), ごろごろ ''gorogoro'' (rumbling sound), and ''panda''.

'''Pancham''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヤンチャム''' ''Yancham'') is a {{type|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Pangoro}} starting at [[Level|level]] 32 while the {{player}} has a {{type|Dark}} Pokémon in their party.

==Biology==
Pancham is a bipedal, mammalian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a young panda. Its head and short, puffy tail are white. It has a triangular black nose, rounded black ears, black circles around its eyes, and tufts of fur on top of its head and on each cheek. Its upper body and hind feet are black, while the lower body is a dark gray. Where the two colors meet the dark gray forms a three-pointed pattern on its chest. There are three digits on each paw and small, dark brown circular pads on the soles of its black hind paws. Pancham carries a small, green leaf in its mouth. There is no actual purpose behind this leaf, aside from an attempt to look cool.

Pancham looks up to {{p|Pangoro}} as a leader and tries to emulate its behavior in an effort to learn how to battle and hunt for its prey. If Pancham makes a big mistake, Pangoro will take away its leaf. It tries to make itself look serious to its foes, but its glare is not intimidating enough, and if it is distracted, it ends up grinning. Despite its attempts to look frightening, it cannot help grinning if patted on the head.

Prior to [[Generation VII]], Pancham and its evolved form, Pangoro, were the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Parting Shot}}.

===Evolution===
Pancham evolves into {{p|Pangoro}}.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]].)

==Trivia==
* Pancham shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Monferno}}. They are both known as the Playful Pokémon.
* Pancham was designed by [[Megumi Mizutani]],<ref>Creator profile on Megumi Mizutani in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Illustration Collection]], p. 178: "She was in charge of the design for Mienshao and Pancham, among other Pokémon, as well as the design of and official illustrations for Gym Leaders, Pokémon Trainers, and other human characters." ([https://twitter.com/Lewchube/status/1581735619637948416 archive])</ref> while {{p|Pangoro|its Evolution}} was designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[http://hitoshiariga.deviantart.com/art/Pocket-Monsters-XY-413536751 Pocket Monsters XY by HitoshiAriga on deviantART]</ref>
* Pancham can learn {{m|Quash}} by {{pkmn|breeding}}, but never by TM. This does not apply to Pangoro, since it was always able to learn the move by TM.

===Origin===
Pancham is based on a {{wp|panda bear}} cub. Its acquisition of the [[Dark]]-type upon evolution after being around other Dark types evokes the idea of a naughty child being led astray by bad influences into becoming a full-blown delinquent. Its {{Shiny}} coloration could be a reference to the {{wp|Qinling panda}}, whose coloring tends to be more brown than black.

====Name origin====
Pancham may be a combination of ''panda'', ''punch'' and ''champion''.

Yancham may be a combination of やんちゃ ''yancha'' (naughty) and ''champion''.

'''Stalwart''' (Japanese: '''すじがねいり''' ''Staunch'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]]. Prior to [[Generation IX]], it was the [[signature Ability]] of {{p|Duraludon}}.

==Effect==
===In battle===
Stalwart makes its user's moves ignore the target-redirecting effects of [[move]]s (e.g. {{m|Rage Powder}}, {{m|Follow Me}}, and {{m|Ally Switch}}) and {{Abilities}} (e.g. {{a|Storm Drain}} and {{a|Lightning Rod}}).

===Outside of battle===
Stalwart has no effect outside of battle.

{{Ability/foot|steel}}

==Trivia==
* This ability's Japanese name literally translates to "reinforced with metal" (which in a metaphoric sense can mean "staunch, hardcore"), explaining why only [[Steel]]-type Pokémon have this ability.
** Other languages have similar wordplay:
*** French ''Nerfs d'Acier'' translates to "nerves of steel".
*** German ''Stahlrückgrat'' translates to "steel backbone".
*** Italian ''Volontà di Ferro'' translates to "iron will".
*** Spanish ''Acérrimo'' means "obstinate", being a pun on ''acero'' ("steel").

[[File:Canari gamer rage.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Canari's gamer rage]]
A gamer at heart, Canari enjoys gaming more than almost anything else and is particularly talented at falling-block puzzle games. Due to her fixation on gaming, she doesn't focus as much on promoting herself or growing her fanbase. Her grandfather, [[Tarragon]], is the one responsible for promoting her streams by managing her fan club and handling in-person events by pretending to be her. Canari also doesn't really focus on Pokémon battles and rarely talks about Pokémon battles on her streams, although she admits she doesn't hate battling either.

Short-tempered, Canari can get frustrated easily. After losing to the player in the [[Z-A Royale]] promotion match, she swears and momentarily throws a fit before she cools down. She also comes off as rather rude to her own grandfather, yelling at him for losing to the player. Tarragon spoiling her doesn't help matters, either.

Unlike her partner Pokémon {{p|Eelektross}} and its love of [[Lumiose Galette]]s, Canari doesn't enjoy sweets. She has a close friendship with [[Gwynn]], whom she calls "'''G-Volt'''" (Japanese: '''ムクちゃん''' ''Muku-chan'').

=== History ===

==== [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]] ====
Canari is a streamer and gamer popular throughout [[Lumiose City]] and the rest of the [[Kalos]] region, with [[Naveen]] and [[Gwynn]] being some of her more notable fans. The {{player}} has a glimpse of her while using their [[Rotom Phone]] on the train during the introductory cutscene of [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]]. [[Tarragon]] mentions Canari by name to the player for the first time during [[Mission (Legends: Z-A)#Main missions|Main Mission]] 5: "The City in the Shadow of Prism Tower", and gifts them a [[Red Canari Plush]] while also promoting his scaffolding obstacle courses.

Canari serves as the player's opponent in their [[Z-A Royale]] promotion match to Rank E. Naveen, a well-versed Canatic, is conflicted in helping the player find and battle her, although he later concedes and helps the player infiltrate the Canari Quiz Whiz Contest at the [[Electrical Substation]]. Throughout the Canari Quiz Whiz Contest, the player learns various aspects of her. Her {{p|Eelektross}} loves a crunchy, overbaked variety of [[Lumiose Galette]] known as [[Super Lumiose Galette]], developing a taste for it after eating it to heal a [[Burn (status condition)|burn]]. Canari also played her first games on a laptop owned by Tarragon; Naveen implies a rather tragic story behind this, but it isn't clarified further.

With Naveen's assistance, the player aces the Canari Quiz Whiz Contest and is able to request Canari for a promotion match. After defeating both Tarragon and her, Canari gets upset and blames her grandfather for losing first, but quickly cheers up after Tarragon promises to buy her anything as an apology. She gives [[TM066]] ({{m|Volt Switch}}) to the player after defeating her, along with an [[Autographed Plush]] to be given to Naveen as thanks for helping the player. She also declares that she'll put more effort into Pokémon battling from that point on.

Later, the player battles Canari again in order to get information on Gwynn, who has gone missing. Canari also appears in [[Hotel Richissime]] as one of the guests invited to [[Jacinthe]]'s "Le Super-Tournoi de Jacinthe" tournament, and is battled by the player in the first round.

During the game's final act, Canari joins the player in a Multi Battle against [[Rogue Mega Evolution|Rogue Mega]] Pokémon while Tarragon and his employees work together to build a path to reach [[Zygarde (Pokémon)|Zygarde]]. In the credits, Canari is seen during the Lumiose City cleanup effort with the other citizens, helping out by providing entertainment after a moment of major distress.

===Pokémon===
Canari keeps her Pokémon in [[Quick Ball]]s and will [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] her {{p|Eelektross}} at the first opportunity.

==In the TCG==
[[File:CanariAscendedHeroes257.jpg|200px|thumb|Full Art print of Canari in the TCG]]
{{main|Canari (Ascended Heroes 185)}}
'''Canari''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Mega Evolution Series (the Japanese MEGA Series). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|MEGA Dream ex}} subset before debuting in the English {{TCG|Ascended Heroes}} expansion, with artwork by [[Naoki Saito]]. A {{TCG|Full Art card|Full Art}} {{TCG|ultra rare}} version with artwork by the same illustrator and a {{TCG|special illustration rare}} version with artwork by [[kantaro]] were released in the same sets. This card, which can only be used if the player discards another card from their hand, allows the player to search their deck for up to 4 {{e|Lightning}} ({{ct|Lightning}}) Pokémon cards and put them into their hand.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Canari is similar to [[Iono]], as both of them [[Type expert|specialize]] in {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and are popular streamers.
* Canari is the first major character in a core series game to use profanity, albeit with it [[wp:obscenicon|censored]].

Sand Stream (Ability)

2026-04-04T09:01:21Z

Pescavelho: I figure the Rock color scheme is more fitting due to this having been Tyranitar's signature ability once, plus Sandstorm being a Rock-type move

'''Sand Stream''' (Japanese: '''すなおこし''' ''Sand Raising'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation III]]. Prior to [[Generation IV]], it was the [[signature Ability]] of {{p|Tyranitar}}.

==Effect==
===In battle===
====Generations III-V====
Sand Stream summons a {{weather|sandstorm}} in battle as soon as a Pokémon with Sand Stream enters the battle. Its effects almost are the same as {{m|Sandstorm}}'s; the only difference is that instead of lasting for five turns, it lasts for the whole battle or until a different weather condition replaces it. If a Pokémon with Sand Stream is sent out in the same turn as another Pokémon whose Ability causes a different weather condition, the slower Pokémon's Ability will override the faster Pokémon's Ability.

====Generation VI onward====
The sandstorm will now last only for five turns. This can be extended to eight turns if the Pokémon is holding a [[Smooth Rock]].

If [[Rain|heavy rain]], [[Harsh sunlight|extremely harsh sunlight]], or [[strong winds]] are present, Sand Stream will fail to activate.

===Outside of battle===
Sand Stream has no effect outside of battle.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Darkness]], Sand Stream changes the {{DL|Weather|In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series|weather}} to Sandstorm upon entering a floor, and then every subsequent 36 turns.

In {{pkmn|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, Sand Stream changes the {{DL|Weather|In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series|weather}} to sandstorm upon entering a floor. Sandstorm lasts a certain number of turns (in multiples of 66) before clearing. After the weather has cleared, Sand Stream will again activate after waiting a certain number of turns (in multiples of 66).

'''Gastrodon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''トリトドン''' ''Tritodon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Shellos}} starting at [[level]] 30.

Gastrodon has [[#Form data|two different forms]]: '''West Sea''', which is pink and brown in appearance, and '''East Sea''', which is blue and green. They are found on the respective sides of [[Sinnoh]]'s mountain range.

==Biology==
Gastrodon is a {{wp|sea slug}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Much like its pre-evolved form, it has a slug-like body with a round head and a {{wp|Mantle (mollusc)|mantle}} covering the top half of its body. It has six stubby legs and two black eyes with white pupils, with a mark imitating a third eye appearing on its forehead. A yellow stripe runs along the edge of its mantle, through its two lower eyes, and around the back of its head. Like {{p|Shellos}}, Gastrodon has two forms based on the sea it lives in.

In its West Sea form, it has a pair of large tentacles on its head that curve upward and a smaller, straighter pair on its neck. Its underside is pink, while its mantle is brown, with three pink spots on each side of its back. There are also two lumps on its back, resembling the {{wp|cerata}} on real-life sea slugs.

In its East Sea form, it retains the head tentacles it had as a Shellos, which are now fully green and angled slightly further upward. Its underside is turquoise, while its mantle is forest green with two turquoise spots on each side. It has a pair of yellow, fin-like cerata on its back and a wavy yellow line bordering its side and rear.

Gastrodon and its pre-Evolution Shellos are examples of {{wp|allopatric speciation}}, although the two forms can still breed with each other. It is also a relative of {{p|Shellder}} and {{p|Cloyster}}. When threatened, it oozes a purple liquid and flees. While not poisonous, the fluid is very bitter and sticky. Its mucus-coated body is soft and squishy yet surprisingly resilient, and it leaves behind a trail of sticky slime when moving on land. It also has strong regenerative capabilities that allow it to recover from injuries or dismemberment within a few hours. In ancient times, it had a shell on its back, which gradually became a thin yet hard vestigial plate.

Gastrodon lives in shallow tidal pools, beaches, and rocky shorelines. Its diet consists mainly of plankton, but it is occasionally known to move onto land to look for other foods, such as beach sand. When it finds prey, it melts it with mucus before eating them. While Gastrodon cannot stay out of water for too long due to its body being highly vulnerable to dehydration, it becomes more active during cloudy or rainy weather. It has been found on far-off mountains during times of constant rain. The two forms of Gastrodon are known to engage in heated conflict with one another. West Sea Gastrodon was much more numerous in the past than it is in the present. Conversely, East Sea Gastrodon's population has visibly increased in population as of late.

===Forms===
Gastrodon has two separate forms: West Sea Gastrodon and East Sea Gastrodon. The two forms are purely cosmetic, and do not affect base stats or level-up moves.

===Form data===
Gastrodon has two different forms: West Sea Gastrodon and East Sea Gastrodon. In most cases, where it is encountered in the {{pkmn2|wild}} determines its form. This is purely a cosmetic difference, and this Pokémon cannot change between forms.

West Sea Gastrodon is pink and brown in color, whereas East Sea Gastrodon is blue and green. There is also a slight difference in shape depending on the form.

In [[Sinnoh]] and [[Hisui]], West Sea Gastrodon is encountered west of [[Mount Coronet]], while East Sea Gastrodon is encountered east of Mount Coronet. In [[Paldea]], West Sea Gastrodon is encountered in [[Casseroya Lake]], while East Sea Gastrodon is encountered in [[North Province (Area One)]]; both forms can also be found in [[Tera Raid Battle]]s regardless of location. In other [[region]]s, only one form appears in the wild per game (with the other only obtainable via [[trade|trading]] or [[transfer]]): Gastrodon only appears in its West Sea form in [[Kalos]]'s [[Friend Safari]], and in [[Alola]] and [[Galar]], only East Sea Gastrodon appear in the wild.

==Trivia==
[[File:Spr b 4d 423b.png|thumb|Early back sprite of Gastrodon]]
* According to an interview in [[Nintendo Power]] with [[Game Freak]], Gastrodon and {{p|Shellos}} were [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire beta|originally]] intended for {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}.<ref name=NintendoPower>[[Junichi Masuda]]: There's also a sea-slug Pokémon that we weren't able to put in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}} that we were able to put in <nowiki>[</nowiki>{{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}<nowiki>]</nowiki>... | "Pearls of Wisdom", ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' Issue 215, May 2007, p. 37 ([https://imgur.com/a/kkZqB Scan])</ref>
* Both Shellos and Gastrodon have [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl beta|early back sprites]] within the game data of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}; however, there are no front sprites for these forms.
* In Diamond and Pearl, no in-game {{pkmn|Trainer}} uses East Sea Gastrodon in battle, even on the east side of [[Mount Coronet]].
* Prior to Generation VI, Gastrodon's shape was [[File:Body14.png|32px]].
* Gastrodon and its pre-Evolution were accidentally released in {{g|GO}} on April 29, 2019, but were removed shortly after. On May 17, 2019, they made their official debut along with various other Pokémon from Generation IV.
* Gastrodon was featured alongside several bovine Pokémon, namely {{p|Tauros}}, {{p|Miltank}}, and {{p|Bouffalant}}, in multiple [https://twitter.com/poke_times/status/1346984961790906368 promotional] [https://www.pokemoncenter-online.com/?p_cd=4521329325095 artworks] created to celebrate New Year's 2021, also known as the {{wp|Year of the Ox}}.
* [[Sinnoh]] (including [[Hisui]]) and [[Paldea]] are the only [[region]]s where both the East and West variants of Gastrodon can be found in the wild within the same game.
** In [[Alola]] and [[Galar]], only East Gastrodon can be found in the wild, implying both regions are to the east of Sinnoh and/or Paldea.
** In [[Kalos]], only West Gastrodon can be found (albeit only in the [[Friend Safari]]), implying it might be to the west of Sinnoh and Paldea.
** Both variants of Gastrodon can be found in [[Hoenn]], but not within the same game, as the West variant is exclusive to {{g|Omega Ruby}} while the East variant is exclusive to {{g|Alpha Sapphire}}.
* The {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} Pokédex entries mentioning a decrease in West Sea Gastrodon and an increase in East Sea Gastrodon may be an inverse on the changes in the populations of real life sea slug species due to climate change — with species that better survive in warmer waters becoming more common.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20220814133258/https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-01-18/citizen-science-project-counting-sea-slugs-helps-map-climate/10719706 Citizen science project counting NSW sea slugs helps map effect of climate change on species (retrieved December 2nd, 2022)]</ref>

===Origin===
Gastrodon is based on a {{wp|sea slug}},<ref name=NintendoPower/> perhaps one of the order {{wp|Opisthobranchia}}. It may also be based on a {{wp|Anaspidea|sea hare}}, a type of sea slug that is also known to secrete purple fluid in self-defense. The tentacles on Gastrodon's head are shaped like cattle horns, which may be a {{wp|visual pun}} on 海牛 ''umiushi'', Japanese for sea slug, derived from 海 ''umi'' (sea) and 牛 ''ushi'' (cow; cattle). Gastrodon has appeared in two different artworks celebrating the 2021 Year of the Ox in the Chinese Zodiac, further supporting this connection.<ref>[https://twitter.com/poke_times/status/1346984961790906368 Year of the Ox artwork from official @poke_times Twitter account (January 7, 2021)]</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/poke_times/status/1347468106629869568 Year of the Ox artwork from official @poke_times Twitter account (January 8, 2021)]</ref>

Gastrodon may be a combination of ''{{wp|gastropoda|gastropod}}'' or ''{{wp|Gastropteron}}'' (genus of sea slug), and ''don'' (Spanish for lord) or ''-don'' (common suffix in extinct animal names derived from the Ancient Greek word for tooth).

Tritodon may be a combination of ''{{wp|Tritoniidae}}'' (family of shell-less marine gastropod molluscs) or ''{{wp|Charonia|Triton snail}}'' (marine gastropod mollusk named after {{wp|Triton (mythology)|Triton}}, Greek god of the sea), and ''don'' (Spanish for lord) or ''-don'' (common suffix in extinct animal names derived from the Ancient Greek word for tooth). It may also be derived from ''torito'' (Spanish for little bull).

'''Shellos''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カラナクシ''' ''Karanakushi'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Gastrodon}} starting at [[level]] 30.

Shellos has [[#Form data|two different forms]]: '''West Sea''', which is pink and white in appearance, and '''East Sea''', which is blue and green. They are found on the respective sides of [[Sinnoh]]'s mountain range.

==Biology==
Shellos is a {{wp|sea slug}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} whose appearance changes depending on which part of the sea it is found in. Both forms have amorphous, slug-like bodies, black oval-shaped eyes with yellow outlines, minuscule, dot-shaped noses, and wide yellow lips. Like real-world sea slugs, they have {{wp|Mantle (mollusc)|mantles}} covering the top halves of their bodies. These mantles are outlined in yellow, similar to their eyes. Unlike real sea slugs, however, they have bulbous heads and four small feet rather than one large foot.

The West Sea form's underside is white, and its mantle is pink, with several small spike-like protrusions on its back. On its head is a ring of pink, fleshy knobs resembling the gills of a {{wp|nudibranch}}. West Sea Shellos' appearance is theorized to have been influenced by warm ocean waters.

The East Sea form, meanwhile, sports a green underside and a turquoise mantle. Two yellow-lined, flap-like protrusions, resembling {{wp|cerata}}, are present along its back. On its head are two white-tipped tentacles resembling {{wp|rhinophores}} that extend away from its face. East Sea Shellos's appearance is theorized to have been influenced by cold ocean waters.

Shellos lives along seashores; its color becomes more vibrant the better quality of the waters it lives in. It is also believed that Shellos's diet, which consists of plankton, also influences its form, though this has yet to be proven. The physical differences between both forms appear largely cosmetic; no significant changes in capabilities have been observed. While it can travel onto land, it can only stay on the shore for a limited time before its skin dries out. When Shellos' squishy body is pressed or squeezed, or when Shellos senses imminent danger, a mysterious purple fluid — theorized to be a kind of stress-induced greasy sweat — will ooze out of its body. This fluid is its defense mechanism against enemies; although harmless, it is very sticky and hard to wash off. Shellos has a friendly disposition and is said to have great regenerative capabilities. In the {{pkmn|animated series}}, West Sea Shellos can extend their necks to incredible lengths. It is unknown if the East Sea form can do this as well.

This species once had a shell on its back long ago and is considered a close relative to Pokémon such as {{p|Shellder}}. The [[Nurse Joy]] featured in ''[[DP136|Gateway to Ruin!]]'' revealed [[Mount Coronet]]'s formation led to an {{wp|allopatric speciation}} event, in which the original population of Shellos was separated into two. As a result, Shellos's color and other physical aspects began to vary due to environmental differences and population isolation over time. The two forms are still able to interbreed; the child normally takes the mother's form but takes the father's if bred with a {{p|Ditto}}. Recently, East Sea Shellos' population has been declining, while West Sea Shellos has become more abundant than before.

===Forms===
Shellos has two separate forms: West Sea Shellos and East Sea Shellos. The two forms differ in appearance only.

===Form data===
Shellos has two different forms: West Sea Shellos and East Sea Shellos. In most cases, where it is encountered in the {{pkmn2|wild}} determines its form. This is purely a cosmetic difference, and this Pokémon cannot change between forms.

West Sea Shellos is pink and white in color, whereas East Sea Shellos is blue and green in color. There is also a slight difference in shape depending on the form.

In [[Sinnoh]] and [[Hisui]], West Sea Shellos is encountered west of [[Mount Coronet]], while East Sea Shellos is encountered east of Mount Coronet. In [[Paldea]], West Sea Shellos is encountered in [[West Province (Area Two)]], while East Sea Shellos is encountered in [[East Province (Area One)]] and [[South Province (Area Five)]]; both forms can also be found in [[Tera Raid Battle]]s regardless of location. In other [[region]]s, only one form appears in the wild per game (with the other only obtainable via [[trade|trading]] or [[transfer]]): in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Shellos appears as a {{DL|DexNav|hidden Pokémon}}, with West Sea appearing in Omega Ruby and East Sea appearing in Alpha Sapphire; and in [[Alola]] and [[Galar]], only East Sea Shellos appears in the wild.

[[Pokémon breeding|Bred]] Shellos are always the same form as their mother, or the same form as the Shellos or Gastrodon parent if bred with {{p|Ditto}}.

West Sea Shellos debuted in ''[[PS530|Movie Panic]]'', where it was at the [[Pokéstar Studios]], presumably under the ownership of one of the visiting Trainers from the {{ci|Aspertia}} {{pkmn|academy|Trainers' School}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:Spr b 4d 422b.png|thumb|Shellos's early back sprite]]
* According to an interview in [[Nintendo Power]] with [[Game Freak]], Shellos and {{p|Gastrodon}} were [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire beta|originally]] intended for {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}.<ref name="NintendoPower">[[Junichi Masuda]]: There's also a sea-slug Pokémon that we weren't able to put in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}} that we were able to put in <nowiki>[</nowiki>{{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}<nowiki>]</nowiki>... | "Pearls of Wisdom", ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' Issue 215, May 2007, p. 37 ([https://imgur.com/a/kkZqB Scan])</ref>
*Both Shellos and Gastrodon have [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl beta|early]] back sprites that can be found in the game data for {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}; however, there are no front sprites for these forms.
*In Diamond and Pearl, no in-game {{pkmn|Trainer}} uses East Sea Shellos in battle, even on the east side of [[Mount Coronet]].
*Shellos's English Pokédex entry for {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} has the fewest words of any Pokédex entry in the [[core series]] games, with nine. The Pokédex entry is carried over to {{pkmn|X and Y|Pokémon Y}} and {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Pokémon Alpha Sapphire}}.
**The same is true for {{p|Kyurem}} in {{game|Black and White|s|White}}.
*Prior to Generation VI, Shellos's shape was [[File:Body14.png|32px]].
* Shellos and its Evolution were accidentally released in {{g|GO}} on April 29, 2019, but were removed shortly after. On May 17, 2019, they made their official debut along with various other Pokémon from Generation IV.
* [[Sinnoh]] (including [[Hisui]]) and [[Paldea]] are the only [[region]]s where both the East and West variants of Shellos can be found in the wild within the same game.
** In [[Alola]] and [[Galar]], only the East variant is obtainable (Shellos can't be found in the wild in any of the Alola games, but Gastrodon can), implying both regions might be to the east of Sinnoh and/or Paldea.
** In [[Kalos]], only the West variant is obtainable (albeit only in the [[Friend Safari]]), implying it might be to the west of Sinnoh and/or Paldea.
** Both variants of Shellos can be found in [[Hoenn]], but not within the same game, as the West variant is exclusive to {{g|Omega Ruby}} while the East variant is exclusive to {{g|Alpha Sapphire}}.
* Shellos is the only Pokémon with {{a|Sand Force}} that benefits from its {{weather|sandstorm}} immunity, since all other Pokémon with the [[Ability]] are naturally immune to sandstorm damage due to their typing.

===Origin===
Shellos is based on a {{wp|sea slug}}.<ref name="NintendoPower" /> It resembles various species of {{wp|nudibranch}}, and its ability to secrete purple fluid may be based on {{wp|sea hare}}s, most of which secrete a purplish ink for self-defense.

The {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} Pokédex entries mentioning an increase in West Sea Shellos and a decrease in East Sea Shellos may be referencing changes in the populations of real sea slug species due to climate change, with species that better survive in warmer waters becoming more common.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20220814133258/https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-01-18/citizen-science-project-counting-sea-slugs-helps-map-climate/10719706 Citizen science project counting NSW sea slugs helps map effect of climate change on species (retrieved December 2nd, 2022)]</ref>

====Name origin====
Shellos may be a combination of ''shell'' and ''loss'' or ''lost'' (referring to its lack of a shell), or the German suffix ''-los'' (-less).

Karanakushi may be a combination of 殻 ''kara'' (shell), 無くした ''nakushita'' (to have lost), and 海牛 ''umiushi'' (sea slug; nudibranch).

'''Gastrodon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''トリトドン''' ''Tritodon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Shellos}} starting at [[level]] 30.

Gastrodon has [[#Form data|two different forms]]: '''West Sea''', which is pink and brown in appearance, and '''East Sea''', which is blue and green. They are found on the respective sides of [[Sinnoh]]'s mountain range.

==Biology==
Gastrodon is a {{wp|sea slug}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Much like its pre-evolved form, it has a slug-like body with a round head and a {{wp|Mantle (mollusc)|mantle}} covering the top half of its body. It has six stubby legs and two black eyes with white pupils, with a mark imitating a third eye appearing on its forehead. A yellow stripe runs along the edge of its mantle, through its two lower eyes, and around the back of its head. Like {{p|Shellos}}, Gastrodon has two forms based on the sea it lives in.

In its West Sea form, it has a pair of large tentacles on its head that curve upward and a smaller, straighter pair on its neck. Its underside is pink, while its mantle is brown, with three pink spots on each side of its back. There are also two lumps on its back, resembling the {{wp|cerata}} on real-life sea slugs.

In its East Sea form, it retains the head tentacles it had as a Shellos, which are now fully green and angled slightly further upward. Its underside is turquoise, while its mantle is forest green with two turquoise spots on each side. It has a pair of yellow, fin-like cerata on its back and a wavy yellow line bordering its side and rear.

Gastrodon and its pre-Evolution Shellos are examples of {{wp|allopatric speciation}}, although the two forms can still breed with each other. It is also a relative of {{p|Shellder}} and {{p|Cloyster}}. When threatened, it oozes a purple liquid and flees. While not poisonous, the fluid is very bitter and sticky. Its mucus-coated body is soft and squishy yet surprisingly resilient, and it leaves behind a trail of sticky slime when moving on land. It also has strong regenerative capabilities that allow it to recover from injuries or dismemberment within a few hours. In ancient times, it had a shell on its back, which gradually became a thin yet hard vestigial plate.

Gastrodon lives in shallow tidal pools, beaches, and rocky shorelines. Its diet consists mainly of plankton, but it is occasionally known to move onto land to look for other foods, such as beach sand. When it finds prey, it melts it with mucus before eating them. While Gastrodon cannot stay out of water for too long due to its body being highly vulnerable to dehydration, it becomes more active during cloudy or rainy weather. It has been found on far-off mountains during times of constant rain. The two forms of Gastrodon are known to engage in heated conflict with one another. West Sea Gastrodon was much more numerous in the past than it is in the present. Conversely, East Sea Gastrodon's population has visibly increased in population as of late.

===Forms===
Gastrodon has two separate forms: West Sea Gastrodon and East Sea Gastrodon. The two forms are purely cosmetic, and do not affect base stats or level-up moves.

===Form data===
Gastrodon has two different forms: West Sea Gastrodon and East Sea Gastrodon. In most cases, where it is encountered in the {{pkmn2|wild}} determines its form. This is purely a cosmetic difference, and this Pokémon cannot change between forms.

West Sea Gastrodon is pink and brown in color, whereas East Sea Gastrodon is blue and green. There is also a slight difference in shape depending on the form.

In [[Sinnoh]] and [[Hisui]], West Sea Gastrodon is encountered west of [[Mount Coronet]], while East Sea Gastrodon is encountered east of Mount Coronet. In [[Paldea]], West Sea Gastrodon is encountered in [[Casseroya Lake]], while East Sea Gastrodon is encountered in [[North Province (Area One)]]; both forms can also be found in [[Tera Raid Battle]]s regardless of location. In other [[region]]s, only one form appears in the wild per game (with the other only obtainable via [[trade|trading]] or [[transfer]]): Gastrodon only appears in its West Sea form in [[Kalos]]'s [[Friend Safari]], and in [[Alola]] and [[Galar]], only East Sea Gastrodon appear in the wild.

==Trivia==
[[File:Spr b 4d 423b.png|thumb|Early back sprite of Gastrodon]]
* According to an interview in [[Nintendo Power]] with [[Game Freak]], Gastrodon and {{p|Shellos}} were [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire beta|originally]] intended for {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}.<ref name=NintendoPower>[[Junichi Masuda]]: There's also a sea-slug Pokémon that we weren't able to put in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}} that we were able to put in <nowiki>[</nowiki>{{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}<nowiki>]</nowiki>... | "Pearls of Wisdom", ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' Issue 215, May 2007, p. 37 ([https://imgur.com/a/kkZqB Scan])</ref>
* Both Shellos and Gastrodon have [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl beta|early back sprites]] within the game data of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}; however, there are no front sprites for these forms.
* In Diamond and Pearl, no in-game {{pkmn|Trainer}} uses East Sea Gastrodon in battle, even on the east side of [[Mount Coronet]].
* Prior to Generation VI, Gastrodon's shape was [[File:Body14.png|32px]].
* Gastrodon and its pre-Evolution were accidentally released in {{g|GO}} on April 29, 2019, but were removed shortly after. On May 17, 2019, they made their official debut along with various other Pokémon from Generation IV.
* Gastrodon was featured alongside several bovine Pokémon, namely {{p|Tauros}}, {{p|Miltank}}, and {{p|Bouffalant}}, in multiple [https://twitter.com/poke_times/status/1346984961790906368 promotional] [https://www.pokemoncenter-online.com/?p_cd=4521329325095 artworks] created to celebrate New Year's 2021, also known as the {{wp|Year of the Ox}}.
* [[Sinnoh]] (including [[Hisui]]) and [[Paldea]] are the only [[region]]s where both the East and West variants of Gastrodon can be found in the wild within the same game, implying both regions might be at a similar longitude.
** In [[Alola]] and [[Galar]], only East Gastrodon can be found in the wild, implying both regions are to the East of Sinnoh and Paldea.
** In [[Kalos]], only West Gastrodon can be found (albeit only in the [[Friend Safari]]), implying it might be to the West of Sinnoh and Paldea.
** Both variants of Shellos can be found in [[Hoenn]], but not within the same game, with the West variant being exclusive to {{g|Omega Ruby}} and the East variant being exclusive to {{g|Alpha Sapphire}}.
* The {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} Pokédex entries mentioning a decrease in West Sea Gastrodon and an increase in East Sea Gastrodon may be an inverse on the changes in the populations of real life sea slug species due to climate change — with species that better survive in warmer waters becoming more common.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20220814133258/https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-01-18/citizen-science-project-counting-sea-slugs-helps-map-climate/10719706 Citizen science project counting NSW sea slugs helps map effect of climate change on species (retrieved December 2nd, 2022)]</ref>

===Origin===
Gastrodon is based on a {{wp|sea slug}},<ref name=NintendoPower/> perhaps one of the order {{wp|Opisthobranchia}}. It may also be based on a {{wp|Anaspidea|sea hare}}, a type of sea slug that is also known to secrete purple fluid in self-defense. The tentacles on Gastrodon's head are shaped like cattle horns, which may be a {{wp|visual pun}} on 海牛 ''umiushi'', Japanese for sea slug, derived from 海 ''umi'' (sea) and 牛 ''ushi'' (cow; cattle). Gastrodon has appeared in two different artworks celebrating the 2021 Year of the Ox in the Chinese Zodiac, further supporting this connection.<ref>[https://twitter.com/poke_times/status/1346984961790906368 Year of the Ox artwork from official @poke_times Twitter account (January 7, 2021)]</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/poke_times/status/1347468106629869568 Year of the Ox artwork from official @poke_times Twitter account (January 8, 2021)]</ref>

====Name origin====
Gastrodon may be a combination of ''{{wp|gastropoda|gastropod}}'' or ''{{wp|Gastropteron}}'' (genus of sea slug), and ''don'' (Spanish for lord) or ''-don'' (common suffix in extinct animal names derived from the Ancient Greek word for tooth).

Tritodon may be a combination of ''{{wp|Tritoniidae}}'' (family of shell-less marine gastropod molluscs) or ''{{wp|Charonia|Triton snail}}'' (marine gastropod mollusk named after {{wp|Triton (mythology)|Triton}}, Greek god of the sea), and ''don'' (Spanish for lord) or ''-don'' (common suffix in extinct animal names derived from the Ancient Greek word for tooth). It may also be derived from ''torito'' (Spanish for little bull).

'''Shellos''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カラナクシ''' ''Karanakushi'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Gastrodon}} starting at [[level]] 30.

Shellos has [[#Form data|two different forms]]: '''West Sea''', which is pink and white in appearance, and '''East Sea''', which is blue and green. They are found on the respective sides of [[Sinnoh]]'s mountain range.

==Biology==
Shellos is a {{wp|sea slug}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} whose appearance changes depending on which part of the sea it is found in. Both forms have amorphous, slug-like bodies, black oval-shaped eyes with yellow outlines, minuscule, dot-shaped noses, and wide yellow lips. Like real-world sea slugs, they have {{wp|Mantle (mollusc)|mantles}} covering the top halves of their bodies. These mantles are outlined in yellow, similar to their eyes. Unlike real sea slugs, however, they have bulbous heads and four small feet rather than one large foot.

The West Sea form's underside is white, and its mantle is pink, with several small spike-like protrusions on its back. On its head is a ring of pink, fleshy knobs resembling the gills of a {{wp|nudibranch}}. West Sea Shellos' appearance is theorized to have been influenced by warm ocean waters.

The East Sea form, meanwhile, sports a green underside and a turquoise mantle. Two yellow-lined, flap-like protrusions, resembling {{wp|cerata}}, are present along its back. On its head are two white-tipped tentacles resembling {{wp|rhinophores}} that extend away from its face. East Sea Shellos's appearance is theorized to have been influenced by cold ocean waters.

Shellos lives along seashores; its color becomes more vibrant the better quality of the waters it lives in. It is also believed that Shellos's diet, which consists of plankton, also influences its form, though this has yet to be proven. The physical differences between both forms appear largely cosmetic; no significant changes in capabilities have been observed. While it can travel onto land, it can only stay on the shore for a limited time before its skin dries out. When Shellos' squishy body is pressed or squeezed, or when Shellos senses imminent danger, a mysterious purple fluid — theorized to be a kind of stress-induced greasy sweat — will ooze out of its body. This fluid is its defense mechanism against enemies; although harmless, it is very sticky and hard to wash off. Shellos has a friendly disposition and is said to have great regenerative capabilities. In the {{pkmn|animated series}}, West Sea Shellos can extend their necks to incredible lengths. It is unknown if the East Sea form can do this as well.

This species once had a shell on its back long ago and is considered a close relative to Pokémon such as {{p|Shellder}}. The [[Nurse Joy]] featured in ''[[DP136|Gateway to Ruin!]]'' revealed [[Mount Coronet]]'s formation led to an {{wp|allopatric speciation}} event, in which the original population of Shellos was separated into two. As a result, Shellos's color and other physical aspects began to vary due to environmental differences and population isolation over time. The two forms are still able to interbreed; the child normally takes the mother's form but takes the father's if bred with a {{p|Ditto}}. Recently, East Sea Shellos' population has been declining, while West Sea Shellos has become more abundant than before.

===Forms===
Shellos has two separate forms: West Sea Shellos and East Sea Shellos. The two forms differ in appearance only.

===Form data===
Shellos has two different forms: West Sea Shellos and East Sea Shellos. In most cases, where it is encountered in the {{pkmn2|wild}} determines its form. This is purely a cosmetic difference, and this Pokémon cannot change between forms.

West Sea Shellos is pink and white in color, whereas East Sea Shellos is blue and green in color. There is also a slight difference in shape depending on the form.

In [[Sinnoh]] and [[Hisui]], West Sea Shellos is encountered west of [[Mount Coronet]], while East Sea Shellos is encountered east of Mount Coronet. In [[Paldea]], West Sea Shellos is encountered in [[West Province (Area Two)]], while East Sea Shellos is encountered in [[East Province (Area One)]] and [[South Province (Area Five)]]; both forms can also be found in [[Tera Raid Battle]]s regardless of location. In other [[region]]s, only one form appears in the wild per game (with the other only obtainable via [[trade|trading]] or [[transfer]]): in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Shellos appears as a {{DL|DexNav|hidden Pokémon}}, with West Sea appearing in Omega Ruby and East Sea appearing in Alpha Sapphire; and in [[Alola]] and [[Galar]], only East Sea Shellos appears in the wild.

[[Pokémon breeding|Bred]] Shellos are always the same form as their mother, or the same form as the Shellos or Gastrodon parent if bred with {{p|Ditto}}.

* According to an interview in [[Nintendo Power]] with [[Game Freak]], Shellos and {{p|Gastrodon}} were [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire beta|originally]] intended for {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}.<ref name="NintendoPower">[[Junichi Masuda]]: There's also a sea-slug Pokémon that we weren't able to put in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}} that we were able to put in <nowiki>[</nowiki>{{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}<nowiki>]</nowiki>... | "Pearls of Wisdom", ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' Issue 215, May 2007, p. 37 ([https://imgur.com/a/kkZqB Scan])</ref>
*Both Shellos and Gastrodon have [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl beta|early]] back sprites that can be found in the game data for {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}; however, there are no front sprites for these forms.
*In Diamond and Pearl, no in-game {{pkmn|Trainer}} uses East Sea Shellos in battle, even on the east side of [[Mount Coronet]].
*Shellos's English Pokédex entry for {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} has the fewest words of any Pokédex entry in the [[core series]] games, with nine. The Pokédex entry is carried over to {{pkmn|X and Y|Pokémon Y}} and {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Pokémon Alpha Sapphire}}.
**The same is true for {{p|Kyurem}} in {{game|Black and White|s|White}}.
*Prior to Generation VI, Shellos's shape was [[File:Body14.png|32px]].
* Shellos and its Evolution were accidentally released in {{g|GO}} on April 29, 2019, but were removed shortly after. On May 17, 2019, they made their official debut along with various other Pokémon from Generation IV.
* [[Sinnoh]] (including [[Hisui]]) and [[Paldea]] are the only [[region]]s where both the East and West variants of Shellos can be found in the wild within the same game, implying both regions might be at a similar longitude.
** In [[Alola]] and [[Galar]], only the East variants are obtainable within the game (Shellos can't be found in the wild in any of the Alola games, but Gastrodon can), implying both regions might be to the East of Sinnoh and Paldea.
** In [[Kalos]], only the West variant can be obtained (albeit only in the [[Friend Safari]]), implying it might be to the West of Sinnoh and Paldea.
** Both variants of Shellos can be found in [[Hoenn]], but not within the same game: with the West variant being exclusive to {{g|Omega Ruby}} and the East variant being exclusive to {{g|Alpha Sapphire}}.
* Shellos is the only Pokémon with {{a|Sand Force}} that benefits from its {{weather|sandstorm}} immunity, since all other Pokémon with the [[Ability]] are naturally immune to sandstorm damage due to their typing.

===Origin===
Shellos is based on a {{wp|sea slug}}.<ref name="NintendoPower" /> It resembles various species of {{wp|nudibranch}}, and its ability to secrete purple fluid may be based on {{wp|sea hare}}s, most of which secrete a purplish ink for self-defense.

The {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} Pokédex entries mentioning an increase in West Sea Shellos and a decrease in East Sea Shellos may be referencing changes in the populations of real sea slug species due to climate change, with species that better survive in warmer waters becoming more common.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20220814133258/https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-01-18/citizen-science-project-counting-sea-slugs-helps-map-climate/10719706 Citizen science project counting NSW sea slugs helps map effect of climate change on species (retrieved December 2nd, 2022)]</ref>

====Name origin====
Shellos may be a combination of ''shell'' and ''loss'' or ''lost'' (referring to its lack of a shell), or the German suffix ''-los'' (-less).

Karanakushi may be a combination of 殻 ''kara'' (shell), 無くした ''nakushita'' (to have lost), and 海牛 ''umiushi'' (sea slug; nudibranch).

'''Gastrodon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''トリトドン''' ''Tritodon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Shellos}} starting at [[level]] 30.

Gastrodon has [[#Form data|two different forms]]: '''West Sea''', which is pink and brown in appearance, and '''East Sea''', which is blue and green. They are found on the respective sides of [[Sinnoh]]'s mountain range.

==Biology==
Gastrodon is a {{wp|sea slug}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Much like its pre-evolved form, it has a slug-like body with a round head and a {{wp|Mantle (mollusc)|mantle}} covering the top half of its body. It has six stubby legs and two black eyes with white pupils, with a mark imitating a third eye appearing on its forehead. A yellow stripe runs along the edge of its mantle, through its two lower eyes, and around the back of its head. Like {{p|Shellos}}, Gastrodon has two forms based on the sea it lives in.

In its West Sea form, it has a pair of large tentacles on its head that curve upward and a smaller, straighter pair on its neck. Its underside is pink, while its mantle is brown, with three pink spots on each side of its back. There are also two lumps on its back, resembling the {{wp|cerata}} on real-life sea slugs.

In its East Sea form, it retains the head tentacles it had as a Shellos, which are now fully green and angled slightly further upward. Its underside is turquoise, while its mantle is forest green with two turquoise spots on each side. It has a pair of yellow, fin-like cerata on its back and a wavy yellow line bordering its side and rear.

Gastrodon and its pre-Evolution Shellos are examples of {{wp|allopatric speciation}}, although the two forms can still breed with each other. It is also a relative of {{p|Shellder}} and {{p|Cloyster}}. When threatened, it oozes a purple liquid and flees. While not poisonous, the fluid is very bitter and sticky. Its mucus-coated body is soft and squishy yet surprisingly resilient, and it leaves behind a trail of sticky slime when moving on land. It also has strong regenerative capabilities that allow it to recover from injuries or dismemberment within a few hours. In ancient times, it had a shell on its back, which gradually became a thin yet hard vestigial plate.

Gastrodon lives in shallow tidal pools, beaches, and rocky shorelines. Its diet consists mainly of plankton, but it is occasionally known to move onto land to look for other foods, such as beach sand. When it finds prey, it melts it with mucus before eating them. While Gastrodon cannot stay out of water for too long due to its body being highly vulnerable to dehydration, it becomes more active during cloudy or rainy weather. It has been found on far-off mountains during times of constant rain. The two forms of Gastrodon are known to engage in heated conflict with one another. West Sea Gastrodon was much more numerous in the past than it is in the present. Conversely, East Sea Gastrodon's population has visibly increased in population as of late.

===Forms===
Gastrodon has two separate forms: West Sea Gastrodon and East Sea Gastrodon. The two forms are purely cosmetic, and do not affect base stats or level-up moves.

===Form data===
Gastrodon has two different forms: West Sea Gastrodon and East Sea Gastrodon. In most cases, where it is encountered in the {{pkmn2|wild}} determines its form. This is purely a cosmetic difference, and this Pokémon cannot change between forms.

West Sea Gastrodon is pink and brown in color, whereas East Sea Gastrodon is blue and green. There is also a slight difference in shape depending on the form.

In [[Sinnoh]] and [[Hisui]], West Sea Gastrodon is encountered west of [[Mount Coronet]], while East Sea Gastrodon is encountered east of Mount Coronet. In [[Paldea]], West Sea Gastrodon is encountered in [[Casseroya Lake]], while East Sea Gastrodon is encountered in [[North Province (Area One)]]; both forms can also be found in [[Tera Raid Battle]]s regardless of location. In other [[region]]s, only one form appears in the wild per game (with the other only obtainable via [[trade|trading]] or [[transfer]]): Gastrodon only appears in its West Sea form in [[Kalos]]'s [[Friend Safari]], and in [[Alola]] and [[Galar]], only East Sea Gastrodon appear in the wild.

==Trivia==
[[File:Spr b 4d 423b.png|thumb|Early back sprite of Gastrodon]]
* According to an interview in [[Nintendo Power]] with [[Game Freak]], Gastrodon and {{p|Shellos}} were [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire beta|originally]] intended for {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}.<ref name=NintendoPower>[[Junichi Masuda]]: There's also a sea-slug Pokémon that we weren't able to put in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}} that we were able to put in <nowiki>[</nowiki>{{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}<nowiki>]</nowiki>... | "Pearls of Wisdom", ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' Issue 215, May 2007, p. 37 ([https://imgur.com/a/kkZqB Scan])</ref>
* Both Shellos and Gastrodon have [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl beta|early back sprites]] within the game data of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}; however, there are no front sprites for these forms.
* In Diamond and Pearl, no in-game {{pkmn|Trainer}} uses East Sea Gastrodon in battle, even on the east side of [[Mount Coronet]].
* Prior to Generation VI, Gastrodon's shape was [[File:Body14.png|32px]].
* Gastrodon and its pre-Evolution were accidentally released in {{g|GO}} on April 29, 2019, but were removed shortly after. On May 17, 2019, they made their official debut along with various other Pokémon from Generation IV.
* Gastrodon was featured alongside several bovine Pokémon, namely {{p|Tauros}}, {{p|Miltank}}, and {{p|Bouffalant}}, in multiple [https://twitter.com/poke_times/status/1346984961790906368 promotional] [https://www.pokemoncenter-online.com/?p_cd=4521329325095 artworks] created to celebrate New Year's 2021, also known as the {{wp|Year of the Ox}}.
* [[Sinnoh]] (including [[Hisui]]) and [[Paldea]] are the only [[region]]s where both forms of Shellos can be found in the wild within the same game, implying both regions might be at similar longitude.
** In [[Alola]] and [[Galar]], only East Gastrodon can be found in the wild, implying both regions are to the East of Sinnoh and Paldea.
** In [[Kalos]], only West Gastrodon can be found (albeit only in the [[Friend Safari]]), implying it might be to the West of Sinnoh and Paldea.
* The {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} Pokédex entries mentioning a decrease in West Sea Gastrodon and an increase in East Sea Gastrodon may be an inverse on the changes in the populations of real life sea slug species due to climate change — with species that better survive in warmer waters becoming more common.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20220814133258/https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-01-18/citizen-science-project-counting-sea-slugs-helps-map-climate/10719706 Citizen science project counting NSW sea slugs helps map effect of climate change on species (retrieved December 2nd, 2022)]</ref>

===Origin===
Gastrodon is based on a {{wp|sea slug}},<ref name=NintendoPower/> perhaps one of the order {{wp|Opisthobranchia}}. It may also be based on a {{wp|Anaspidea|sea hare}}, a type of sea slug that is also known to secrete purple fluid in self-defense. The tentacles on Gastrodon's head are shaped like cattle horns, which may be a {{wp|visual pun}} on 海牛 ''umiushi'', Japanese for sea slug, derived from 海 ''umi'' (sea) and 牛 ''ushi'' (cow; cattle). Gastrodon has appeared in two different artworks celebrating the 2021 Year of the Ox in the Chinese Zodiac, further supporting this connection.<ref>[https://twitter.com/poke_times/status/1346984961790906368 Year of the Ox artwork from official @poke_times Twitter account (January 7, 2021)]</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/poke_times/status/1347468106629869568 Year of the Ox artwork from official @poke_times Twitter account (January 8, 2021)]</ref>

====Name origin====
Gastrodon may be a combination of ''{{wp|gastropoda|gastropod}}'' or ''{{wp|Gastropteron}}'' (genus of sea slug), and ''don'' (Spanish for lord) or ''-don'' (common suffix in extinct animal names derived from the Ancient Greek word for tooth).

Tritodon may be a combination of ''{{wp|Tritoniidae}}'' (family of shell-less marine gastropod molluscs) or ''{{wp|Charonia|Triton snail}}'' (marine gastropod mollusk named after {{wp|Triton (mythology)|Triton}}, Greek god of the sea), and ''don'' (Spanish for lord) or ''-don'' (common suffix in extinct animal names derived from the Ancient Greek word for tooth). It may also be derived from ''torito'' (Spanish for little bull).

Appendix:Fan terminology

2026-04-02T13:42:52Z

Pescavelho:

{| style="float:right"
| __TOC__
|}

The Pokémon franchise has a wide range of fanmade terminology for various aspects of the games. These are colloquial terms originating from unofficial sources, and are thusly not found in official media. However, some terms originally coined by the {{pkmn|fandom}} have been used officially, such as [[Eeveelution]] and {{Shiny}}; these terms are not listed here.

==Pokémon terms==
===Counterparts===
A set of two [[version-exclusive Pokémon]] and their [[evolution]]ary lines, each found in a different game, sometimes referred to as '''parallels'''. These counterparts may be identified by commonalities such as typing, [[base stats]], [[methods of Evolution|Evolution method]], and the locations where these Pokémon may be found. The term may also be used to describe Pokémon that are more common in one game version than another, as well as Pokémon that are only exclusive in a single pair of games.

===Convergent form/Convergent Pokémon===
{{main|Convergent species}}
Fan terms for [[Generation IX]] Pokémon which resemble another species without being related biologically. These refer to the {{p|Wiglett}}, {{p|Toedscool}}, and {{p|Poltchageist}} lines, whose designs are based on the {{p|Diglett}}, {{p|Tentacool}}, and {{p|Sinistea}} lines, respectively. The term is derived from the real-world phenomenon of {{wp|convergent evolution}}. Alternatively, some fans call them "regional fakes" as this concept resembles the previously introduced [[regional form]]s.

===Early-route Pokémon===
A Pokémon found in the first few routes of the game. These can be divided into:
* Early-route Pokémon that are based on mammals and are either {{t|Normal}} or {{t|Dark}} types: {{p|Rattata}}, {{p|Sentret}}, {{p|Poochyena}}, {{p|Zigzagoon}}, {{p|Bidoof}}, {{p|Patrat}}, {{p|Lillipup}}, {{p|Purrloin}}, {{p|Bunnelby}}, {{p|Yungoos}}, {{p|Skwovet}}, {{p|Nickit}}, {{p|Wooloo}}, {{p|Lechonk}}, and {{p|Tandemaus}};
* Early-route {{type|Flying}} bird Pokémon: {{p|Pidgey}}, {{p|Spearow}}, {{p|Hoothoot}}, {{p|Taillow}}, {{p|Wingull}}, {{p|Starly}}, {{p|Pidove}}, {{p|Fletchling}}, {{p|Pikipek}}, {{p|Rookidee}}, {{p|Squawkabilly}}, and {{p|Wattrel}};
* Early-route {{type|Bug}}s: {{p|Caterpie}}, {{p|Weedle}}, {{p|Ledyba}}, {{p|Spinarak}}, {{p|Wurmple}}, {{p|Kricketot}}, {{p|Sewaddle}}, {{p|Venipede}}, {{p|Scatterbug}}, {{p|Grubbin}}, {{p|Cutiefly}}, {{p|Blipbug}}, {{p|Tarountula}}, and {{p|Nymble}}.

While there are no official names for these groupings, some of these Pokémon (from the first eight [[generation]]s) were grouped together in the [[Pokémon 1008 ENCOUNTERS]] video.

===Electric rodents===
{{main|Electric rodents}}
A group of {{type|Electric}} Pokémon based on {{wp|rodent}}s, consisting of {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Raichu}} (sometimes omitted), {{p|Pichu}} (sometimes omitted), {{p|Plusle}}, {{p|Minun}}, {{p|Pachirisu}}, {{p|Emolga}}, {{p|Dedenne}}, {{p|Togedemaru}}, {{p|Morpeko}}, {{p|Pawmi}}, {{p|Pawmo}}, and {{p|Pawmot}}. Design-wise, all of them have electric sacs on their cheeks. This group is also referred to as the '''Pikachu family''', '''Pikachu clones''', or '''Pikaclones'''. An equivalent term used within the Japanese fandom is '''{{ruby|電気袋組|でんきぶくろぐみ}}''' ''Electric Pouch Group''.
{{left clear}}

===Elemental monkeys===
{{main|Elemental monkeys}}
{{p|Pansage}}, {{p|Pansear}}, {{p|Panpour}}, {{p|Simisage}}, {{p|Simisear}}, and {{p|Simipour}}. The name is derived from the fact that all of them are based on monkeys and have different types ({{t|Grass}}, {{t|Fire}}, and {{t|Water}} respectively). They also share resemblance to [[first partner Pokémon]].

===Game mascot===
{{main|Game mascot}}
A Pokémon that appears on the boxart of one of the [[Pokémon games]] in the [[core series]]. If it is a [[Legendary Pokémon]], it is also referred to as a '''box art legendary'''.

===Hitmons===
{{main|Hitmons}}
{{p|Hitmonlee}}, {{p|Hitmonchan}}, {{p|Hitmontop}}, and sometimes {{p|Tyrogue}}. They are also referred to as the '''Tyrogue squadron'''.<ref>[[Media:Pokémon Stadium 2 - Nintendo Player's Guide p120.jpg|Pokémon Stadium 2 Nintendo's Player Guide]]</ref>

===''Kasekimera''===
{{main|Fossil#Generation VIII|Fossil → Generation VIII}}
(Japanese: '''カセキメラ''' ''Kasekimera'') is used within the Japanese fandom to collectively refer to Fossil Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VIII]]: {{p|Dracozolt}}, {{p|Arctozolt}}, {{p|Dracovish}}, and {{p|Arctovish}}. The term is derived from the Japanese word 化石 ''kaseki'' (fossil) and the English word ''{{wp|Chimera (paleontology)|chimera}}''.

===Legendary group===

A group of [[Legendary Pokémon]]. The most common groupings include Legendary duo and Legendary trio.

====Legendary duo====
A group of two [[Legendary Pokémon|Legendary]] or [[Mythical Pokémon]] that share some association.

They are available only as event Pokémon. Includes {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, and {{p|Victini}}. Sometimes referred to as pixies or Mythical fairies, although the latter is also used to describe the [[lake guardians]].

===Novelty Pokémon===
Also known as gimmick Pokémon, a Pokémon that possesses a unique trait, usually in battle. Pokémon most often to be considered novelty are:
{{p|Magikarp}}, {{p|Ditto}}, {{p|Eevee}}, {{p|Porygon}}, {{p|Unown}}, {{p|Wobbuffet}}, {{p|Shuckle}}, {{p|Smeargle}}, {{p|Wurmple}}, {{p|Slaking}}, {{p|Shedinja}}, {{p|Plusle}} with {{p|Minun}}, {{p|Spinda}}, {{p|Castform}}, {{p|Kecleon}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Burmy}}, {{p|Cherrim}}, {{p|Rampardos}}, {{p|Gastrodon}}, {{p|Rotom}}, {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Darmanitan}}, {{p|Zoroark}}, {{p|Sawsbuck}}, {{p|Accelgor}} with {{p|Escavalier}}, {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Meloetta}}, {{p|Genesect}}, [[Ash-Greninja]], {{p|Vivillon}}, {{p|Aegislash}}, {{p|Zygarde}}, {{p|Oricorio}}, {{p|Wishiwashi}}, {{p|Pyukumuku}}, {{p|Minior}}, {{p|Komala}}, {{p|Mimikyu}}, {{p|Necrozma}}, {{p|Cramorant}}, {{p|Toxtricity}}, {{p|Eiscue}}, {{p|Morpeko}}, {{p|Palafin}}, and {{p|Dondozo}} with {{p|Tatsugiri}}.

===Shalpha===
A portmanteau of "Shiny" and "Alpha" or short for Shiny Alpha Pokémon. This term refers to [[alpha Pokémon]] that are also {{Shiny}}, which can be found in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] and [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].

===Shillmon===
"Shillmon", "designated shillmon", or "[[wp:industry plant|industry plant]]", are community-driven slang terms used by Pokémon fans to describe Pokémon that receive disproportionate exposure, marketing focus, and perceived favoritism from The Pokémon Company, Game Freak, or anime producers. These Pokémon are often heavily merchandised, prominently featured in the anime, or given special roles in spin-off titles such as Super Smash Bros. or Pokkén Tournament.

Pokémon labeled as shillmons often share common design traits, most notably humanoid or semi-humanoid forms with animalistic, "furry", features. Such designs tend to be more popular than purely animalistic or object-based Pokémon, likely due to greater relatability. This is particularly visible in the final evolutions of some starter Pokémon, which frequently adopt humanoid proportions seemingly intended to maximize appeal. Some Pokémon gain high exposure due to Generation I nostalgia or organic popularity without deliberate promotion. These are usually excluded from the shillmon label, as they are not perceived as being intentionally engineered for popularity or given unusual preferential treatment.

* {{p|Lucario}} is widely considered the defining example of a shillmon. It was revealed long before most [[Generation IV]] Pokémon, allowing it to gain popularity through novelty. Lucario starred in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', a role typically reserved for legendary or mythical Pokémon, elevating its status beyond that of a standard species. Its humanoid, furry-inspired design, combined with the concept of aura, psychic-like abilities, exceptional strength, and a strong bond with its trainer, led many fans to view Lucario as deliberately engineered for mass appeal. Later it was given two [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] forms.
* A similar approach appeared in [[Generation V]] with {{p|Zoroark}}, which benefited from being the first Pokémon of its generation revealed. It received its own movie, featured a humanoid yet bestial and "edgy" design, and introduced the unique ability {{a|Illusion}}, all of which reinforced its marketing prominence.
* In [[Generation VI]], {{p|Greninja}} is commonly viewed as the shillmon of the era. In the anime, it formed a unique bond with [[Ash]], granting it a special form comparable to [[Mega Evolution]]. This form initially did not exist in the games, giving Greninja an aura of mystery until its later introduction. Regular Greninja was also given the powerful ability {{a|Protean}}, greatly boosting its competitive value. Its humanoid body plan, dark color scheme, and ninja theme further enhanced its appeal.
* In [[Generation VII]], Dusk Form {{p|Lycanroc}} is sometimes cited due to its surprise introduction, werewolf-inspired design, and association with Ash. However, {{p|Zeraora}}, a highly humanoid, beast-like [[mythical Pokémon]] that received its own movie, is more frequently included in shillmon discussions.
* In [[Generation VIII]], {{p|Cinderace}} is widely regarded as fitting the shillmon trope. It achieved high popularity, was assigned to [[Goh]] in the anime, and received the ability {{a|Libero}}, functionally identical to Protean. Its fully humanoid design portrays it as a soccer player, a globally popular and marketable theme.
* In [[Generation IX]], {{p|Meowscarada}} continues this trend. It completes the trio with Greninja and Cinderace by receiving Protean. Although it begins as a quadrupedal cat Pokémon, its final evolution adopts a humanoid form with a Dark typing and an illusionist theme, reinforcing recurring design and marketing patterns associated with shillmons.

Notably, Pokemon from older generations like {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Mewtwo}}, and {{p|Absol}} might have also be mentioned as shillmons.

===Sub-Legendary Pokémon===
[[Legendary Pokémon]] that are permitted in [[battle facility|battle facilities]] and usually permitted in official tournaments. These Pokémon (besides [[Generation VI]]) include:

A list in the data since {{g|Sun and Moon}}, named "sublegend" in the game code, grouped the [[Ultra Beast]]s with all of the sub-Legendary Pokémon, despite them not being Legendary Pokémon. This grouping continued until {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, in which Ultra Beasts are no longer grouped under this "sublegend" list.

Legendary Pokémon that are not sub-Legendary Pokémon are officially known as [[Special Pokémon]].

===Type triangle===
A trio of [[type]]s where one beats another and loses to another, such as {{t|Water}}-{{t|Grass}}-{{t|Fire}} or {{t|Dark}}-{{t|Fighting}}-{{t|Psychic}}, the former notably used for [[first partner Pokémon]]. Both the {{t|Dragon}} and {{t|Ghost}} types can create type triangles by themselves only. The {{t|Normal}} type is the only type that is not super effective against any type, but weak against the Fighting type. All single type triangles go as follows:

==Fan terms==
===Aslowla===
Refers to the Pokémon {{cat|Generation VII Pokémon|introduced}} in [[Generation VII]] being unfitted in design due to their typically low {{stat|Speed}} stat (usually 70 [[base stats|base]] Speed or lower), such as {{p|Decidueye}} and {{p|Vikavolt}}. The term originates from {{wp|GameFAQs}} and derives from a portmanteau of the [[Alola]] region and "slow".

A similar term is "the Hoenn Special", referring to Pokémon with equally or similarly high [[Attack]] and [[Special Attack]] stats, but mediocre [[Defense]], [[Special Defense]] and Speed. So-named because several Pokémon introduced in [[Hoenn]], such as [[Camerupt]], [[Cacturne]] and [[Seviper]] have this stat distribution. Although the more generic term "slow-frail mixed attacker" is also used, "the Hoenn Special" is also often applied to Pokémon introduced in later generations with similar distribution, such as [[Scovillain]], usually to make a point that such a stat distribution is "anachronistic".

===Dexit===
A term referring to {{DL|Pokémon controversies|Pokémon Sword and Shield Pokédex|the controversy}} surrounding [[Game Freak]]'s announcement that some Pokémon would not be usable in {{g|Sword and Shield}}. Derives from a portmanteau of "[[Pokédex]]" and "{{wp|Brexit}}", a debate between {{wp|United Kingdom|UK}} citizens concerning whether the UK (which is the basis of [[Galar]], the setting of Sword and Shield) should leave the {{wp|European Union}}.

===Genwunner===
A pejorative term used to describe fans who dislike elements of the Pokémon franchise released after [[Generation I]] (and, to a lesser extent, [[Generation II]]). A corruption of "Generation One". Originated from the {{wp|Transformers}} fandom's term of "Geewun", where some fans have a similar stance on said franchise. However, fanon terms relating to other generations in the franchise (such as Generations III or IV) are less often used.

===Hoenn trumpets===
Refers to the typical sound of instruments used in the [[Pokémon Ruby & Pokémon Sapphire: Super Music Collection|OST]] (original soundtracks) of {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} in the [[Hoenn]] region.

===Pokégirl===
A term used to refer to any female character in the Pokémon franchise. Derives from a portmanteau of "Pokémon" and "girl".

===Smugleaf/Weed Cat===
Refers to the infamous nickname of {{p|Snivy}} and {{p|Sprigatito}}, respectively. The former is infamously used prior the reveal of Snivy's English name due to the [[Generation V]] games being not released simultaneously in worldwide.

===Wottergate===
Refers to fans' reactions to the leak revealing the final [[Evolution]] of the Unova starters, most notably the drastic shift in Oshawott's evolutionary line. While {{p|Oshawott}} and {{p|Dewott}} are bipedal, their final Evolution, {{p|Samurott}}, is quadrupedal, which many fans found jarring. The term is a portmanteau of "otter" and "{{wp|Watergate scandal|Watergate}}", referencing the major U.S. political scandal.

===Zero Crew===
Zero Crew, or sometimes Zerocrew, is the colloquial term given to the friend group consisting of [[Nemona]], [[Arven]], and [[Penny]] in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]. The term derives from the fact that all three officially met each other in [[Area Zero]].

==Game terms==
===Battle Gimmick===
Battle Gimmick is a collective term for special battle mechanics that take center stage in battles and often play a major role in the story. Alternatively they can be called ''regional phenomena''. Starting with Generation VI, each generation introduces one such gimmick, usually replacing the previous one. These include: [[Mega Evolution]] (sometimes alongside [[Bond Phenomenon]] and [[Primal Reversion]]), [[Z-Moves]] (including [[Ultra Burst]]), [[Dynamax]] (with variants like [[Gigantamax]] and [[Eternamax]]), and [[Terastal phenomenon]] (with [[Terastal phenomenon#Unique Terastallized states|Terastallized state]]). Interestingly, several of these names follow a pattern based on metric prefixes: mega, giga, and tera.

===Boss===
The general concept of a {{wp|Boss (video gaming)|boss}} in video games may refer to special, strong opponents who must be defeated to obtain an important reward or advance past a particular point in the game. In the Pokémon games, there are various figures who may fit this description:
* Core games
** [[Gym Leader]]s: these are characters the player explicitly has to defeat if they wish to reach the Elite Four. Oftentimes, defeating a particular Gym Leader is also required for the player to advance past certain obstacles, especially those that require the use of an [[HM]].
** [[Elite Four]]: the "point" of the [[core series]] games is generally to beat the Elite Four, who will be stronger than any other Trainers the player has faced previously.
** {{pkmn|Champion}}: after beating the Elite Four, the player must also defeat the region's Champion in order to be allowed to enter the [[Hall of Fame]].
** [[Rival]]s: the player will often cross paths with a rival character, and usually they must face off with this character one last time before being able to face the Elite Four.
** [[Island kahuna]]s: a group of four Trainers in the [[Alola]] [[region]] that Trainers will need to defeat to progress in their [[island challenge]]. They can be seen as the Alolan equivalent to Gym Leaders.
** [[Villainous team|villainous organization]]s in the core games (and many [[spin-off Pokémon games|spin-offs]]) will appear frequently cross paths with the player. In the course of the game, the player will eventually have to defeat various high-ranking members of these organizations and in most cases, their leader. Every organization has different ranking trainer classes, however in most cases, Grunts and Employees are not considered bosses.
** {{tc|Tower Tycoon}}s, [[Frontier Brain]]s, {{tc|Subway Boss}}es, {{tc|Boss Trainer}}s, {{tc|Battle Chatelaine}}s and {{tc|Battle Legend}}s: these are the leaders of certain special [[Battle facility|battle facilities]] presented as an optional challenge once the player has beaten the Champion. Defeating them usually grants the player a [[Trainer Card level|special achievement]].
** Particular Trainers during promotion and reward matches in the [[Z-A Royale]] may be considered bosses, particularly the promotion matches which replace the battling of a Gym Leader in the traditional gym-focused games.
** [[Legendary Pokémon|Legendary]] and [[Mythical Pokémon]]: the player will encounter these later in the game, usually resulting in a boss battle. Many Legendary Pokémon generally have larger base stats compared to usual Pokémon.
** [[Totem Pokémon]] are encountered at the end of every trial throughout the [[island challenge]], serving as the boss of each trial.
** [[Max Raid Battle]]s are co-op battles with a [[Dynamax]] or [[Gigantamax]] Pokémon, similar to a traditional boss battles as they are fought at various intervals throughout the game. The {{p|Eternatus}} and [[Eternamax]] Eternatus battles are stylized after the Max Raid format.
** [[Noble Pokémon]], Origin Forme {{p|Dialga}}/{{p|Palkia}}, and {{ga|Arceus}} are encountered in Pokémon Legends: Arceus and need to be quelled through throwing {{cat|balms}} at them (while optional, periodic battling makes this easier), this acts similar to a traditional RPG boss fight.
** [[Alpha Pokémon]] (who's Japanese name are '''オヤブン''' ''boss''), are larger, more powerful, variants of usual Pokémon. The player receives larger rewards for their defeat.
** [[Titan Pokémon]], [[Starmobile]]s, the {{p|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}} in [[Area Zero]], the {{p|Ursaluna|Bloodmoon Ursaluna}}, {{p|Ogerpon}}, {{p|Terapagos}} and {{p|Pecharunt}} are encountered and possess larger health bars similar to how boss health bars are depicted in most games and in most cases, also possess a title right after their name, such as "Terapagos, the Indigo Disk".
** [[Tera Raid Battle]] are co-op battles with a [[Terastal|Terastallized]] Pokémon, similar to a traditional boss battles and Max Raid Battles. The {{ga|Terpagos}} fight with [[Carmine]] is stylized after this format.
** [[Rogue Mega Evolution]], [[Hyperrogue Ange Floette]], {{p|Zygarde}}, [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Kyogre}}, and Primal {{p|Groudon}} are encountered and possess larger health bars similar to how boss health bars are depicted in most games.
* Side games
** Pregymleader [[Justy]]: Justy is the leader of the [[Prestige Precept Center|Pre Gym]] in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{Pokémon XD}}.
** {{tc|Area Leader}}s and {{tc|Mt BtlMaster}}: these are the heads of different [[Mt. Battle]] areas in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{Pokémon XD}}.
** {{tc|Colosseum Leader}}s, {{tc|Colosseum Master}}s, and the [[Mysterial|Pokétopia Master]]: these are the heads of {{DL|Pokétopia|Colosseums}} in {{g|Battle Revolution}}.
* Spin-offs
**The {{g|Mystery Dungeon series}} has various boss characters at different points in the story:
*** {{DL|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Bosses|Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team → Bosses}}
*** {{DL|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Bosses|Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness → Bosses}}
*** {{DL|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Bosses|Gates to Infinity → Bosses}}
*** {{DL|Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon|Bosses|Super Mystery Dungeon → Bosses}}
*** {{DL|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX|Bosses|Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX → Bosses}}
**[[Shadow Mewtwo]]: the opponent in the final battle of the storyline of [[Pokkén Tournament]]
**{{g|Magikarp Jump}} uses the term "boss" to refer one in every five opponents.
**{{g|UNITE}} features a [[Boss Rush]] mode, featuring Wild Pokémon that appear in other stages in the game that have a larger health bar than other Wild Pokémon, which are explicitly called Boss Pokémon in this mode.

===Collection terms===
====Living Pokédex====
{{main|Living Pokédex}}
Having a Pokémon of every species (available in that game) in the [[Pokémon Storage System]] at the same time.

====Legitimate====
A Pokémon or item obtained without [[cheating]] or intentional [[glitch]] use. Typically this refers to a Pokémon or item obtained through normal gameplay, without any third party modifications to the game's ROM or RAM.
Pokémon obtained via {{DL|Pseudorandom number generation|RNG Abuse}}, or via bugs that the player would run into naturally during normal gameplay, (Gen 3's [[List of glitches in Generation III#Roaming Pok.C3.A9mon IV bug|Roamer IV bug]] for example), are still typically considered legitimate as the game would generate those Pokémon within the bounds of what was possible to obtain naturally, in an unmodified instance of the game.
*Note that Legitimate does not inherently mean [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Legal|Legal]], it is possible to encounter Pokémon during normal gameplay that have otherwise impossible attributes, and the [[The Pokémon Company]] would consider unauthorized.
** 1★ [[Wild_Area_News/2020#April_28_to_May_11.2C_2020|Wild Area News]] {{p|Drilbur}} with {{m|Hydro Pump}} is an example of a Pokémon that was legitimately obtainable but considered [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Illegal|Illegal]], as it was programmed with a [[Game move errors|game move error]]. The game does not permit its use online nor official tournaments, and several hours after the mistake was discovered [[Game Freak]] had fixed the erroneous Wild Area News data to replace Hydro Pump with the correct move, {{m|Scratch}}.
** These situations are typically handled case-by-case. As a counter example, the 5★ [[Tera Raid Battle]] [[Female]] {{p|Indeedee}} with the error move {{m|Trick Room}} is not blocked from online use, and in early December 2022 even saw prior restrictions removed, permitting raids with the erroneous move to be hosted online to other players, and later patched the game to allow Female Indeedee to learn Trick Room via [[TM]]. In a situation like this, it could be argued the developers consider this error to be both [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Legal|Legal]] and Legitimate, despite the similar circumstances to the aforementioned Drilbur with Hydro Pump.
*Additionally, the state of the savefile itself is generally not taken into account when determining the legitimacy of an individual Pokémon. Even if the savefile is in an unnatural state via glitches, cheats, save editing, etc., if the generation/encounter conditions of a Pokémon are unaffected, a savefile in an unnatural state can still produce Legal and Legitimate Pokémon.
**As an example, using a glitch that warps the player to an area early, but does not alter the encounter conditions of Pokémon found in that area, would generate Pokémon in an identical manner to a player who arrived in that area under normal gameplay conditions.

=====Illegitimate=====
A Pokémon or item obtained via [[cheating]] or intentional [[glitch]] use. Typically this refers to a Pokémon or item generated via any third party modifications to the game's ROM or RAM, or with the use of intentional glitches to drastically alter the game into a state where it produces Pokémon or items in a way it would never be able to during the course of normal gameplay.
* This term may also be used to refer to {{pkmn2|event}} Pokémon generated outside of their typical distribution periods or methods via glitches, [[Arbitrary code execution]], [[Wonder Card]] injection, or other exploits such as the [https://pkmnclassic.net/ DNS Exploit].
**Contrary to the above, several event Pokémon are programmed as in-game static encounters or {{pkmn2|gift}}s accessible via activating an in-game event or event-exclusive location (such as [[Birth Island]]'s {{p|Deoxys}} or [[Faraway Island]]'s {{p|Mew}}), rather than generated directly by a Wonder Card.<br>It could be argued that if an encounter is accessed via warp glitches, (on a game version/language the {{tt|encounter was legitimately obtainable in|This does not apply to events that were programmed into the game, but were never distributed, such Arceus event in the Hall of Origin in Pokémon Platinum, as those will always be Illegal and Illegitimate if accessed via any method}}, i.e. Faraway Island's Mew is only legitimately accessible on Japanese language copies of Pokémon Emerald, accessing it on an English copy of Emerald would result in an [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Illegal|Illegal]] Mew), that since the encounter itself is unmodified and available in the base game, the Pokémon itself could be considered both [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Legal|Legal]] and/or [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Legitimate|Legitimate]] {{tt|even if the savefile itself is in an unnatural state.|This is disputed within the community, as some consider any Pokémon encountered on a savefile in an unnatural state to be Illegitimate, judging the legitimacy of the state of the savefile rather than judging the legitimacy of individual Pokémon contained within.}}
* Illegitimate Pokémon and items are not limited to just those produced via cheating using third party tools, as Pokémon or items generated directly via [[cloning glitches]] or Arbitrary code execution would still fall into this category, even if the result would be considered [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Legal|Legal]].

=====Legal=====
A Pokémon or item in a state that is possible to achieve through normal gameplay. This means that regardless of what method was used to obtain it, one could obtain this Pokémon in its current state without [[cheating]] or intentional [[glitch]] use.
*Note that this is not inherently the same as [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Legitimate|Legitimate]]. While most Legitimate Pokémon are also Legal, this term only refers to the current state of the Pokémon and whether it could be theoretically obtained in that state through normal gameplay. A Pokémon may still be Legal even if it was obtained through the use of third party modifications, cheats, glitches, etc.

=====Illegal=====
A Pokémon or item in a state that is typically impossible to achieve through normal gameplay, and/or is disallowed by [[The Pokémon Company]]. This means that regardless of what method was used to obtain it, this Pokémon has at least one value that could only be obtained via [[cheating]], intentional [[glitch]] use, or via an oversight by the developers of the game that permitted it to be obtained.
* Note that a Pokémon can still be illegal even if permitted to be used online, having not been detected by the server's [[Cheating#Cheat_prevention_in_the_Pok.C3.A9mon_games|anti-cheat detection]], as the term refers to the Pokémon itself being in an unobtainable state, not necessarily whether it is detected by the game's anti-cheat.
**{{Shiny}} {{p|Victini}} is an example of a Pokémon that is illegal but remains usable online. To date, it has never been obtainable in-game, nor distributed as an [[event Pokémon]] in its Shiny form. Despite being a [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Shiny-locked|Shiny-locked]] species, Shiny Victini is not detected by any anti-cheat in Generations {{gen|V}} through {{gen|IX}}, nor {{g|Bank}} or {{g|HOME}}.
* It is also possible for illegal Pokémon or items to be obtained, or even generated by players who are not [[cheating]], having only interacted with the game via legitimate means, as a result of interference by other cheating players.
** One such instance would be [[breeding]] using a parent Pokémon that has an impossible combination of [[Poké Ball]] and [[species]], or impossible [[Egg move]]s, obtained via [[trade]] from a cheating player. 
** Another instance would be a player joining a [[List of glitches in Generation VIII#Hacked Max Raids|hacked Max Raid]] via [[Y-Comm]], (prior to Sword and Shield v1.2.1), and then catching the resulting illegal Pokémon, or receiving an unobtainable item as a reward for defeating it. As a result, Pokémon and items that were impossible to receive via trade due to anti-cheat detection were made possible to obtain on an unmodified savefile, as the Pokémon and items are generated client-side by the non-cheating participant's game.

====Untouched====
A Pokémon that is in the same state as it was obtained in. Specifically, it has gained no [[experience]], [[level]]s, {{EV}}s, or [[Ribbon]]s, had none of its [[move]]s changed or reordered, and has not [[Evolution|evolved]], gained [[Pokérus]], or had its pre-existing Pokérus become inactive. Commonly used to refer to [[event Pokémon]] and in-game [[gift Pokémon]].

====Balltism====
A term used by collectors to describe catching Pokémon with a specific type of [[Poké Ball]]. Often, this involves a desire to have the Ball's color scheme, thematic properties, or release animation align with the Pokémon it contains, as well as unique or unlikely combinations being valued. Some examples commonly sought after by players are Pokémon obtained in [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Apriball|Apriball]]s (which in most main series games are rare, or difficult to obtain), and non-[[Ultra Beast]] species being obtained in [[Beast Ball]]s (due to the drastically lower 0.1× [[catch rate]] when used on non-Ultra Beast species).

The word is a {{wp|portmanteau}} of "Ball" and "Autism",{{fact}} sometimes used as a pejorative term in reference to one's obsession with obtaining a given Pokémon in a specific type of Ball, or devaluing Pokémon deemed to be in a "non-matching" type of Ball.<ref>https://gamerant.com/pokemons-quick-ball-controversy-shiny-hunting-look-reversal/</ref>

On April 24, 2021, the merchandise line "BALL FREAK", which prominently featured the concept of matching Pokémon and Poké Balls of similar style/coloration, released on the Japanese Pokémon Center website;<ref>https://www.pokemon.co.jp/goods/2021/04/210409_to01.html</ref> however, this terminology hasn't appeared in any other media. It's currently unclear if [[The Pokémon Company]] considers "ball freak" an official term for the concept, or if it was only intended for use as a title for the specific merchandise line. To date, this remains the only official reference to this concept.

===Game acronyms===
Most of the Pokémon games come in pairs and are often followed by enhanced versions, hence Pokémon fans call them collectively with the first letters of their names.

* '''RGBY''': {{game4|Red|Green|Blue|Yellow}}. Sometimes only '''RBY''', omitting the Japanese exclusive Pokémon Green in favor of its international release, Pokémon Blue.
* '''GSC''': {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}
* '''RSE''': {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}
* '''FRLG''': {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}
* '''DPPt''': {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. Sometimes '''DPP'''.
* '''HGSS''': {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}
* '''BW''': {{game|Black and White|s}}
* '''B2W2''': {{B2W2}}. Sometimes '''BW2'''.
* '''XY''': {{g|X and Y}}
* '''ORAS''': {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}
* '''PoGO''': {{g|GO}}
* '''SMUSUM''': {{game4|SMUSUM}}. Can be split respectively into '''SM''' for Sun and Moon, and '''USUM''' or '''USM''' for Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. Sometimes '''SuMo''' is seen for Sun and Moon only.
* '''LGPE''': {{LGPE}}. Sometimes '''PE''', '''LPE''', or '''LPLE'''.
* '''SwSh''': {{g|Sword and Shield}}. Capitalization can vary between '''SwSh''' and '''SWSH'''. Sometimes '''SS'''.
** '''IoA''': Pokémon Sword and Shield: [[The Isle of Armor]]
** '''CT''': Pokémon Sword and Shield: [[The Crown Tundra]]
* '''BDSP''': {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}
* '''LA''': {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. Sometimes '''PLA''' or '''PL:A'''.
* '''SV''': {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. Sometimes '''ScVi''' or '''ScarVio'''.
** '''HToA0''': Scarlet and Violet: [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]]. Used when referring to the pair of DLCs, rather than the individual releases. Sometimes '''HToAZ'''.
*** '''TTM''': Scarlet and Violet: [[The Teal Mask]]. Includes the initial "The" in the acronym to avoid confusion with [[TM]] for Technical Machine.
*** '''TID''': Scarlet and Violet: [[The Indigo Disk]]. Sometimes '''ID''', dropping the initial "The" in an attempt to avoid confusion with [[Trainer ID]], which also uses the acronym "TID".
* '''ZA''': {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. Sometimes '''Z-A''', '''PLZA''', '''PL:ZA''', or '''L:ZA'''.
* '''WiWa''': {{g|Winds and Waves}}. Sometimes '''WW'''.

===Gameplay terms===
====6IV or 6V====
Refers to either a Pokémon with [[individual values]] of 31 for all 6 [[stat]]s, or a Pokémon with all 6 stats set to "competitively viable" values. This is also commonly referred to as "perfect IVs".
* As an example, some competitive strategies require a Pokémon to have an intentionally lower stat, such as an IV of 0 for {{stat|Attack}}, or {{stat|Speed}}. Strategies using {{m|Trick Room}} or {{m|Gyro Ball}} may benefit from a Pokémon having a lower Speed stat than the opponent, therefore a Pokémon with IVs of 31 in every other stat, but with a Speed IV of 0, may still sometimes be referred to as 6IV or "perfect".

The term "5IV" or "5V" (a Pokémon with IVs of 31 in only five stats) is also commonly used due to the {{pkmn|breeding}} effect of [[Destiny Knot]] introduced in [[Generation VI]], allowing for the value of 5 random IVs of a bred Pokémon to be inherited from the parents if either parent holds the Destiny Knot.

====Chaining====
A method used to repeatedly encounter the same Pokémon via a feature such as [[Poké Radar]] and [[DexNav]], which lines up the chance of getting a desired Pokémon. Chaining with the Poke Radar is often tried for the purposes of getting a [[Shiny Pokémon]] of a specific species.

====Cheating====
{{main|Cheating}}
The use of any device unauthorized by [[The Pokémon Company]] to modify a Pokémon game. Being found to have cheated in any way, or having a Pokémon that was obtained by cheating on another game will result in immediate disqualification from any official tournament, and disqualification from all future official tournaments.

====EV training====
Intentionally battling Pokémon for the {{EV}}s they give out in order to ensure EVs are distributed in a specific way or capped.

====Focus Miss/Stone Miss/Will-O-Miss====
Derogatory terms for {{m|Focus Blast}}, {{m|Stone Edge}}, and {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, referring to the [[move]]s' mediocre [[accuracy]].

====Gear Station or Centrico Plaza trick====
Securing the D-pad or analog stick in one direction so that the player continuously walks around the circular {{DL|Battle Subway|Gear Station}} or [[Centrico Plaza]], resulting in an effortless refilling of [[Hidden Grotto]]es, increase in [[friendship]], hatching of {{pkmn|Egg}}s, and accumulation of [[Poké Mile]]s.

====Grinding====
{{pkmn|training|Training}} a Pokémon to a certain [[level]] through repetitive battling.

====Hatcher====
A Pokémon with the [[Ability]] {{a|Flame Body}}, {{a|Magma Armor}}, or {{a|Steam Engine}} such as {{p|Fletchinder}}, {{p|Slugma}}, and {{p|Rolycoly}} in the [[party]], mainly used for hatching {{pkmn|Egg}}s faster.

====HM mule====
[[File:HM mule Bibarel.png|thumb|right|220px|A Bibarel that knows four field moves]]
A term used within parts of the fandom to refer to a Pokémon in a Trainer's party that is used for navigational support through the use of [[field move]]s—generally those taught by [[HM|Hidden Machines]]. HM mules will typically have three or four move slots occupied with field moves, allowing smooth passage through caves, across oceans, or past other obstacles at the expense of their battling capabilities.

With the retirement of HMs and field moves from [[Generation VII]] onward, HM mules are not necessary in those games. In Generation VII, the functions of HMs are replaced by [[Poké Ride]]s{{sup/7|SMUSUM}} and [[Secret Technique]]s{{sup/7|PE}}. In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, the [[Rotom Bike]]'s Water Mode replaces {{m|Surf}} and the [[Flying Taxi]] replaces {{m|Fly}}. In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, HM functions can be accessed through the [[Pokétch]], though certain other field moves (such as {{m|Flash}}) are used by a party Pokémon as in the original games. In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, various {{hi|ride Pokémon}} provide similar functions, allowing the player to traverse through [[Hisui]] faster, swim through water, climb steep cliffs, and glide through the air. The [[Arc Phone]]'s map allows players to warp between locations, replacing Fly. In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, traversal abilities are gained by the player's {{ga|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{ga|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}} during the {{DL|Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Path of Legends}} storyline, and the Flying Taxi from Sword and Shield returns.

HM mules are often referred to as '''HM slaves''', '''HM friends''' or even '''HMployee'''. An equivalent term used within the Japanese fandom is '''{{tt|秘伝要員|ひでんよういん}}''', with {{tt|秘伝|ひでん}} being from {{tt|秘伝マシン|ひでんマシン}} ''Hidden Machine'' followed by {{tt|要員|よういん}} ''personnel''.

====HSOWA====
[[File:HSOWA HGSS.png|thumb|220px|right|A Skitty and a Wailord at the Day Care]]
The fan term HSOWA is an initialism that stands for "'''Hot Skitty On Wailord Action'''". It is derived from the fact that {{p|Skitty}} and {{p|Wailord}} can {{pkmn|breeding|breed}} in the {{pkmn|games}} despite their massive size difference. It has reached cult status on some message boards. The term originates from GameFAQs.

====IV breeding====
Intentionally [[breeding]] Pokémon to have a specific {{IV}} or set of IVs.

====Masuda method====
{{main|Masuda method}}
The game mechanic that increases the likelihood of [[Shiny Pokémon]] to hatch from {{pkmn|Egg}}s if the parents are from differing real-world geographical locations. Named after [[Junichi Masuda]], who first documented this mechanic in [http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/?p=30 his blog].

====Nuzlocke Challenge====
{{main|Nuzlocke Challenge}}
A special challenge playthrough of a Pokémon game in which the player must follow a set of self-enforced rules to make the game more difficult. Most notably, the player can only catch the first Pokémon they encounter on each route, and must release any Pokémon that faints. Named after the [http://nuzlocke.com/ comic series] of the same name that first proposed the type of playthrough.

====Professor Oak Challenge====
A time-consuming challenge playthrough of a Pokémon game in which the player must fill up the [[Pokédex]] as much as possible before obtaining each [[badge]] (or completing an equivalent boss fight in games without badges). This challenge was created by user Chamale on {{wp|Reddit}}<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemon/comments/8utudm/final_update_i_filled_the_pok%C3%A9dex_in_crystal/ Final update - I filled the Pokédex in Crystal Version as much as possible without trading or glitches. My legendaries easily defeated Red's high-level team. (Links to previous posts in comments)] | u/Chamale, r/pokemon, Jun 29, 2018</ref>, and popularized by Johnstone on {{wp|YouTube}}.

====Repel trick====
{{main|Appendix:Repel trick}}
Using [[Repel]]s and a lead Pokémon of a specific level to restrict [[wild Pokémon]] encounters to a specific Pokémon or group of Pokémon due to the maximum level at which wild Pokémon can appear.

====Shiny-locked====
{{main|List of unobtainable Shiny Pokémon}}
Referring to a Pokémon obtained in a particular game that is prevented from being {{Shiny}}.

====Spinners====
NPC Trainers that randomly change the direction they face. Avoiding battles with them is key to [[speedrun]]s.

====Spinner trick====
Securing the D-pad or analogue stick in a single direction so that the player continuously walks into a [[spin tile]], resulting in an effortless increase in [[friendship]] and hatching of {{pkmn|Egg}}s. Often called the "Fuego trick" in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} due to [[Fuego Ironworks]] being the optimal location for doing so.

====Synchronizer====
Pokémon with the [[Ability]] {{a|Synchronize}} such as {{p|Abra}} and {{p|Ralts}} in the first place in the [[party]], mainly used for obtaining Pokémon with the desired [[Nature]].

====Walking Pokémon====
{{main|Walking Pokémon}}

===Metagame terms===
{{main|Appendix:Metagame terminology}}

===Technical terms===
====EVs====
{{main|Effort values}}
Effort values, often shortened to EVs and officially known as base points, are capped permanent stat bonuses gained by defeating Pokémon, using items such as [[vitamin]]s or [[wing]]s, or using services such as those in [[Join Avenue]]. They ensure trained Pokémon are stronger than newly caught Pokémon.

=====AVs=====
{{main|Go Power}}
Awakening values, often shortened to AVs and officially known as Go Power, are used in {{LGPE}} in place of EVs. AVs are used to increase a Pokémon's [[statistic|stats]], but are awarded through the use of [[Candy]] and [[level]]ing up, rather than by defeating other Pokémon in {{pkmn|battle}}s or consuming [[vitamin]]s.

=====ELs or GVs=====
{{main|Effort level}}
Effort levels, often shortened to ELs, (referred to internally as "Ganbaru values", often shortened to GVs), are a mechanic introduced in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. Effort levels take the place of [[effort value]]s from previous games. Pokémon gain effort levels through the use of [[Grit]] items, but will initially begin with 0-3 ELs in each stat, with the amount being determined by the Pokémon's [[IV]]s.

====IVs====
{{main|Individual values}}
Individual values, often shortened to IVs, are fixed values that can be inherited from the Pokémon's parents. They ensure Pokémon are genetically different.

====PID or EC====
{{main|Personality value}}
A shortened version of the term personality value, a hidden value used to determine several properties of a Pokémon, including {{Shiny|Shininess}}. [[Generation VI]] onwards, this value is split into two separate values, with the latter being referred to as the Encryption Constant, often shortened to EC.

=====PSV or ESV=====
Pokémon Shiny Value, often shortened to PSV, and Egg Shiny Value, often shortened to ESV, are values derived from a Pokémon or {{pkmn|Egg}}'s [[personality value]], designed as an easy way to tell if the Pokémon or Egg will appear as {{Shiny}} for a given player, if the value is the same as that player's Trainer Shiny Value, (often shortened to TSV).

====TID or SID====
{{main|Trainer ID number}}
Trainer ID, often shorted to TID, is the 5 to 6 digit value displayed on the player's {{ga|Trainer Card}}, [[League Card]], or in-game save menu. The Secret ID, often shortened to SID, is a hidden 4 or 5 digit value used alongside the Trainer ID to determine which Pokémon will appear as {{Shiny}} for the player, according to the Pokémon's [[personality value]].

=====TSV=====
Trainer Shiny Value, often shortened to TSV, is a value derived from the player's Trainer ID and Secret ID, designed as an easy way to tell if a given {{pkmn|Egg}} or Pokémon will be Shiny for the player, if their Egg Shiny Value, (often shortened to ESV), or Pokémon Shiny Value, (often shortened to PSV) is the same value as the player's Trainer Shiny Value.

====RNG or RNG Abuse====
{{main|Pseudorandom number generation}}
Refers to the Random Number Generator, or the practice of manipulating it through the use of fan-made software (commonly referred to as RNG Abuse), in order to obtain [[Shiny Pokémon]] or Pokémon with specific {{IV}}s—both endeavors which would otherwise leave a lot up to chance.

==Spin-off game terms==
===Charmer===
Refers to any Pokémon, usually {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon, with {{m|Charm}} as its Fast Move in the [[Pokémon GO]] competitive battle. Examples of charmers are {{p|Clefable}}, {{p|Wigglytuff}}, {{p|Gardevoir}}, {{p|Togekiss}}, and {{p|Primarina}}.

===Hundo/Shundo===
Hundo (from "hundred percent" or "100%") refers to Pokémon with [[individual values#Pokémon GO 2|individual values]] of 15 for all of its 3 stats (HP, Attack, and Defense) in [[Pokémon GO]], which is similar to the "6V/6IV" or "perfect IVs" in the [[core series]]. Shundo refers to a Pokémon that is both hundo and {{Shiny}}.

===Mudboi===
Refers to any {{t|Water}}/{{type|Ground}} Pokémon with {{m|Mud-Slap}} or {{m|Mud Shot}} as its Fast Move in the [[Pokémon GO]] competitive battle. Examples of mudbois are {{p|Quagsire}}, {{p|Swampert}}, {{p|Whiscash}}, and {{p|Gastrodon}}.

==Animation terms==
===Ashnime/Likonime===
These terms refer to the two main {{pkmn|animated series}}: Ashnime refers to {{aniseries|PTS}}, whereas Likonime refers to {{aniseries|HZ}}.

==Pokémon Trading Card Game terms==
These terms are typically derived from and used by the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] player base, rather than official sources. Many of these terms were originally used for ''{{wp|Magic: The Gathering}}'', another trading card game which the Pokémon TCG draws many design parallels from.

===Baby===
Not to be confused with [[baby Pokémon]], "baby" refers to a non-[[Rule Box]] card being contrasted with one with a Rule Box. For example, the {{TCG|Blacephalon archetype}} may be referred to as running baby {{TCG ID|Unbroken Bonds|Blacephalon|32}} alongside {{TCG ID|Lost Thunder|Blacephalon-GX|52}}.

===BDIF===
Short for "'''Best Deck In Format'''".

===Control deck===
A deck archetype whose purpose is to control the opponent's options, typically in such a way that stops them from performing their own deck's strategies. Sometimes known as a "'''stall deck'''", as the archetype's goal isn't to reach a victory condition but rather to stall the opponent and run them out of their resources. Examples of control decks include {{TCG|Snorlax Stall}}.

===Deck out===
Having no cards in the deck. A player that decks out and is unable to draw a card at the beginning of their turn automatically loses the game.

===Donk===
Winning on the first turn of the game, typically by Knocking Out the opponent's Active Pokémon when they have no Benched Pokémon for backup.

===Gust===
Switching an opponent's Benched Pokémon to the Active Spot. Named after the Trainer card {{TCG ID|Base Set|Gust of Wind|93}}.

===Lock===
Effects that prevent the opponent from playing certain cards (e.g. {{TCG|Item card|Item}} lock) or making use of cards in play (e.g. {{TCG|Ability}} lock).

===Mill===
Discarding cards from the top of the player's or the opponent's deck. Named after the ''Magic: The Gathering'' card "[https://scryfall.com/card/m19/242/millstone Millstone]".

A deck that focuses on milling the opponent is known as a "'''mill deck'''". In the Pokémon Trading Card Game, this is a viable winning strategy, as a player who can't draw a card from their deck at the start of their turn automatically loses the game. The equivalent Japanese term is '''LO''', short for '''ライブラリアウト ''Library Out''''' — "library" is the ''Magic: The Gathering'' term for a deck. Note that "LO" in Japan sometimes also refers to control or stall decks.

===Scoop===
To concede a match, referring to the act of picking up and tidying all the cards on the player's table during a match. Not to be confused with cards that let the player put a Pokémon in play into their hand.

===Tech===
A card that isn't part of a deck's main strategy, but is included to improve the deck's chances against specific bad matchups.

===Toolbox===
Unlike decks that focus on a specific primary attacking Pokémon, a "toolbox" or "box" deck includes many different Pokémon in order to target specific matchups in the meta. Examples of toolbox decks include {{TCG|Joltik Box}} and {{TCG|Tera Box}}.

The equivalent Japanese term is バレット ''Bullet'', derived from the similar concept of "[https://mtg.wiki/page/Silver_bullet silver bullet]" decks in ''Magic: The Gathering''.

===Tutor===
To "tutor" a card means to search that specific card from the deck. Named after the ''Magic: The Gathering'' card "[https://scryfall.com/card/cmm/150/demonic-tutor Demonic Tutor]", which lets the player search their deck for any card.

The Pokémon franchise has a wide range of fanmade terminology for various aspects of the games. These are colloquial terms originating from unofficial sources, and are thusly not found in official media. However, some terms originally coined by the {{pkmn|fandom}} have been used officially, such as [[Eeveelution]] and {{Shiny}}; these terms are not listed here.

==Pokémon terms==
===Counterparts===
A set of two [[version-exclusive Pokémon]] and their [[evolution]]ary lines, each found in a different game, sometimes referred to as '''parallels'''. These counterparts may be identified by commonalities such as typing, [[base stats]], [[methods of Evolution|Evolution method]], and the locations where these Pokémon may be found. The term may also be used to describe Pokémon that are more common in one game version than another, as well as Pokémon that are only exclusive in a single pair of games.

===Convergent form/Convergent Pokémon===
{{main|Convergent species}}
Fan terms for [[Generation IX]] Pokémon which resemble another species without being related biologically. These refer to the {{p|Wiglett}}, {{p|Toedscool}}, and {{p|Poltchageist}} lines, whose designs are based on the {{p|Diglett}}, {{p|Tentacool}}, and {{p|Sinistea}} lines, respectively. The term is derived from the real-world phenomenon of {{wp|convergent evolution}}. Alternatively, some fans call them "regional fakes" as this concept resembles the previously introduced [[regional form]]s.

===Early-route Pokémon===
A Pokémon found in the first few routes of the game. These can be divided into:
* Early-route Pokémon that are based on vermin that are either {{t|Normal}} or {{t|Dark}} types: {{p|Rattata}}, {{p|Sentret}}, {{p|Poochyena}}, {{p|Zigzagoon}}, {{p|Bidoof}}, {{p|Patrat}}, {{p|Lillipup}}, {{p|Purrloin}}, {{p|Bunnelby}}, {{p|Yungoos}}, {{p|Skwovet}}, {{p|Nickit}}, {{p|Wooloo}}, {{p|Lechonk}}, and {{p|Tandemaus}};
* Early-route {{type|Flying}} bird Pokémon: {{p|Pidgey}}, {{p|Spearow}}, {{p|Hoothoot}}, {{p|Taillow}}, {{p|Wingull}}, {{p|Starly}}, {{p|Pidove}}, {{p|Fletchling}}, {{p|Pikipek}}, {{p|Rookidee}}, {{p|Squawkabilly}}, and {{p|Wattrel}};
* Early-route {{type|Bug}}s: {{p|Caterpie}}, {{p|Weedle}}, {{p|Ledyba}}, {{p|Spinarak}}, {{p|Wurmple}}, {{p|Kricketot}}, {{p|Sewaddle}}, {{p|Venipede}}, {{p|Scatterbug}}, {{p|Grubbin}}, {{p|Cutiefly}}, {{p|Blipbug}}, {{p|Tarountula}}, and {{p|Nymble}}.

While there are no official names for these groupings, some of these Pokémon (from the first eight [[generation]]s) were grouped together in the [[Pokémon 1008 ENCOUNTERS]] video.

===Electric rodents===
{{main|Electric rodents}}
A group of {{type|Electric}} Pokémon based on {{wp|rodent}}s, consisting of {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Raichu}} (sometimes omitted), {{p|Pichu}} (sometimes omitted), {{p|Plusle}}, {{p|Minun}}, {{p|Pachirisu}}, {{p|Emolga}}, {{p|Dedenne}}, {{p|Togedemaru}}, {{p|Morpeko}}, {{p|Pawmi}}, {{p|Pawmo}}, and {{p|Pawmot}}. Design-wise, all of them have electric sacs on their cheeks. This group is also referred to as the '''Pikachu family''', '''Pikachu clones''', or '''Pikaclones'''. An equivalent term used within the Japanese fandom is '''{{ruby|電気袋組|でんきぶくろぐみ}}''' ''Electric Pouch Group''.
{{left clear}}

===Elemental monkeys===
{{main|Elemental monkeys}}
{{p|Pansage}}, {{p|Pansear}}, {{p|Panpour}}, {{p|Simisage}}, {{p|Simisear}}, and {{p|Simipour}}. The name is derived from the fact that all of them are based on monkeys and have different types ({{t|Grass}}, {{t|Fire}}, and {{t|Water}} respectively). They also share resemblance to [[first partner Pokémon]].

===Game mascot===
{{main|Game mascot}}
A Pokémon that appears on the boxart of one of the [[Pokémon games]] in the [[core series]]. If it is a [[Legendary Pokémon]], it is also referred to as a '''box art legendary'''.

===Hitmons===

===''Kasekimera''===
{{main|Fossil#Generation VIII|Fossil → Generation VIII}}
(Japanese: '''カセキメラ''' ''Kasekimera'') is used within the Japanese fandom to collectively refer to Fossil Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VIII]]: {{p|Dracozolt}}, {{p|Arctozolt}}, {{p|Dracovish}}, and {{p|Arctovish}}.

They are available only as event Pokémon. Includes {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, and {{p|Victini}}. Sometimes referred to as pixies or Mythical fairies, although the latter is also used to describe the [[lake guardians]].

===Novelty Pokémon===
Also known as gimmick Pokémon, a Pokémon that possesses a unique trait, usually in battle. Pokémon most often to be considered novelty are:
{{p|Magikarp}}, {{p|Ditto}}, {{p|Eevee}}, {{p|Porygon}}, {{p|Unown}}, {{p|Wobbuffet}}, {{p|Shuckle}}, {{p|Smeargle}}, {{p|Wurmple}}, {{p|Slaking}}, {{p|Shedinja}}, {{p|Plusle}} with {{p|Minun}}, {{p|Spinda}}, {{p|Castform}}, {{p|Kecleon}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Burmy}}, {{p|Cherrim}}, {{p|Rampardos}}, {{p|Gastrodon}}, {{p|Rotom}}, {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Darmanitan}}, {{p|Zoroark}}, {{p|Sawsbuck}}, {{p|Accelgor}} with {{p|Escavalier}}, {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Meloetta}}, {{p|Genesect}}, [[Ash-Greninja]], {{p|Vivillon}}, {{p|Aegislash}}, {{p|Zygarde}}, {{p|Oricorio}}, {{p|Wishiwashi}}, {{p|Pyukumuku}}, {{p|Minior}}, {{p|Komala}}, {{p|Mimikyu}}, {{p|Necrozma}}, {{p|Cramorant}}, {{p|Toxtricity}}, {{p|Eiscue}}, {{p|Morpeko}}, {{p|Palafin}}, and {{p|Dondozo}} with {{p|Tatsugiri}}.

===Shalpha===
A portmanteau of "Shiny" and "Alpha" or short for Shiny Alpha Pokémon. This term refers to [[alpha Pokémon]] that are also {{Shiny}}, which can be found in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] and [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].

===Shillmon===
"Shillmon", "designated shillmon", or "[[wp:industry plant|industry plant]]", are community-driven slang terms used by Pokémon fans to describe Pokémon that receive disproportionate exposure, marketing focus, and perceived favoritism from The Pokémon Company, Game Freak, or anime producers. These Pokémon are often heavily merchandised, prominently featured in the anime, or given special roles in spin-off titles such as Super Smash Bros. or Pokkén Tournament.

Pokémon labeled as shillmons often share common design traits, most notably humanoid or semi-humanoid forms with animalistic, "furry", features. Such designs tend to be more popular than purely animalistic or object-based Pokémon, likely due to greater relatability. This is particularly visible in the final evolutions of some starter Pokémon, which frequently adopt humanoid proportions seemingly intended to maximize appeal. Some Pokémon gain high exposure due to Generation I nostalgia or organic popularity without deliberate promotion. These are usually excluded from the shillmon label, as they are not perceived as being intentionally engineered for popularity or given unusual preferential treatment.

* {{p|Lucario}} is widely considered the defining example of a shillmon. It was revealed long before most [[Generation IV]] Pokémon, allowing it to gain popularity through novelty. Lucario starred in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', a role typically reserved for legendary or mythical Pokémon, elevating its status beyond that of a standard species. Its humanoid, furry-inspired design, combined with the concept of aura, psychic-like abilities, exceptional strength, and a strong bond with its trainer, led many fans to view Lucario as deliberately engineered for mass appeal. Later it was given two [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] forms.
* A similar approach appeared in [[Generation V]] with {{p|Zoroark}}, which benefited from being the first Pokémon of its generation revealed. It received its own movie, featured a humanoid yet bestial and "edgy" design, and introduced the unique ability {{a|Illusion}}, all of which reinforced its marketing prominence.
* In [[Generation VI]], {{p|Greninja}} is commonly viewed as the shillmon of the era. In the anime, it formed a unique bond with [[Ash]], granting it a special form comparable to [[Mega Evolution]]. This form initially did not exist in the games, giving Greninja an aura of mystery until its later introduction. Regular Greninja was also given the powerful ability {{a|Protean}}, greatly boosting its competitive value. Its humanoid body plan, dark color scheme, and ninja theme further enhanced its appeal.
* In [[Generation VII]], Dusk Form {{p|Lycanroc}} is sometimes cited due to its surprise introduction, werewolf-inspired design, and association with Ash. However, {{p|Zeraora}}, a highly humanoid, beast-like [[mythical Pokémon]] that received its own movie, is more frequently included in shillmon discussions.
* In [[Generation VIII]], {{p|Cinderace}} is widely regarded as fitting the shillmon trope. It achieved high popularity, was assigned to [[Goh]] in the anime, and received the ability {{a|Libero}}, functionally identical to Protean. Its fully humanoid design portrays it as a soccer player, a globally popular and marketable theme.
* In [[Generation IX]], {{p|Meowscarada}} continues this trend. It completes the trio with Greninja and Cinderace by receiving Protean. Although it begins as a quadrupedal cat Pokémon, its final evolution adopts a humanoid form with a Dark typing and an illusionist theme, reinforcing recurring design and marketing patterns associated with shillmons.

Notably, Pokemon from older generations like {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Mewtwo}}, and {{p|Absol}} might have also be mentioned as shillmons.

===Sub-Legendary Pokémon===
[[Legendary Pokémon]] that are permitted in [[battle facility|battle facilities]] and usually permitted in official tournaments. These Pokémon (besides [[Generation VI]]) include:
<div style="column-count:auto; column-width:200px;">

</div>
A list in the data since {{g|Sun and Moon}}, named "sublegend" in the game code, grouped the [[Ultra Beast]]s with all of the sub-Legendary Pokémon, despite them not being Legendary Pokémon. This grouping continued until {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, in which Ultra Beasts are no longer grouped under this "sublegend" list.

Legendary Pokémon that are not sub-Legendary Pokémon are officially known as [[Special Pokémon]].

===Type triangle===
A trio of [[type]]s where one beats another and loses to another, such as {{t|Water}}-{{t|Grass}}-{{t|Fire}} or {{t|Dark}}-{{t|Fighting}}-{{t|Psychic}}, the former notably used for [[first partner Pokémon]]. Both the {{t|Dragon}} and {{t|Ghost}} types can create type triangles by themselves only. The {{t|Normal}} type is the only type that is not super effective against any type, but weak against the Fighting type. All single type triangles go as follows:

==Fan terms==
===Aslowla===
Refers to the Pokémon {{cat|Generation VII Pokémon|introduced}} in [[Generation VII]] being unfitted in design due to their typically low {{stat|Speed}} stat (usually 70 [[base stats|base]] Speed or lower), such as {{p|Decidueye}} and {{p|Vikavolt}}. The term originates from {{wp|GameFAQs}} and derives from a portmanteau of the [[Alola]] region and "slow".

A similar term is "the Hoenn Special", referring to Pokémon with equally or similarly high [[Attack]] and [[Special Attack]] stats, but mediocre [[Defense]], [[Special Defense]] and Speed. So-named because several Pokémon introduced in [[Hoenn]], such as [[Camerupt]], [[Cacturne]] and [[Seviper]] have this stat distribution. Although the more generic term "slow-frail mixed attacker" is also used, "the Hoenn Special" is also often applied to Pokémon introduced in later generations with similar distribution, such as [[Scovillain]], usually to make a point that such a stat distribution is "anachronistic".

===Dexit===
A term referring to {{DL|Pokémon controversies|Pokémon Sword and Shield Pokédex|the controversy}} surrounding [[Game Freak]]'s announcement that some Pokémon would not be usable in {{g|Sword and Shield}}. Derives from a portmanteau of "[[Pokédex]]" and "{{wp|Brexit}}", a debate between {{wp|United Kingdom|UK}} citizens concerning whether the UK (which is the basis of [[Galar]], the setting of Sword and Shield) should leave the {{wp|European Union}}.

===Genwunner===
A pejorative term used to describe fans who dislike elements of the Pokémon franchise released after [[Generation I]] (and, to a lesser extent, [[Generation II]]). A corruption of "Generation One". Originated from the {{wp|Transformers}} fandom's term of "Geewun", where some fans have a similar stance on said franchise. However, fanon terms relating to other generations in the franchise (such as Generations III or IV) are less often used.

===Hoenn trumpets===
Refers to the typical sound of instruments used in the [[Pokémon Ruby & Pokémon Sapphire: Super Music Collection|OST]] (original soundtracks) of {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} in the [[Hoenn]] region.

===Pokégirl===
A term used to refer to any female character in the Pokémon franchise. Derives from a portmanteau of "Pokémon" and "girl".

===Smugleaf/Weed Cat===
Refers to the infamous nickname of {{p|Snivy}} and {{p|Sprigatito}}, respectively. The former is infamously used prior the reveal of Snivy's English name due to the [[Generation V]] games being not released simultaneously in worldwide.

===Wottergate===
Refers to fans' reactions to the leak revealing the final [[Evolution]] of the Unova starters, most notably the drastic shift in Oshawott's evolutionary line. While {{p|Oshawott}} and {{p|Dewott}} are bipedal, their final Evolution, {{p|Samurott}}, is quadrupedal, which many fans found jarring. The term is a portmanteau of "otter" and "{{wp|Watergate scandal|Watergate}}", referencing the major U.S. political scandal.

===Zero Crew===
Zero Crew, or sometimes Zerocrew, is the colloquial term given to the friend group consisting of [[Nemona]], [[Arven]], and [[Penny]] in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]. The term derives from the fact that all three officially met each other in [[Area Zero]].

==Game terms==
===Battle Gimmick===
Battle Gimmick is a collective term for special battle mechanics that take center stage in battles and often play a major role in the story. Alternatively they can be called ''regional phenomena''. Starting with Generation VI, each generation introduces one such gimmick, usually replacing the previous one. These include: [[Mega Evolution]] (sometimes alongside [[Bond Phenomenon]] and [[Primal Reversion]]), [[Z-Moves]] (including [[Ultra Burst]]), [[Dynamax]] (with variants like [[Gigantamax]] and [[Eternamax]]), and [[Terastal phenomenon]] (with [[Terastal phenomenon#Unique Terastallized states|Terastallized state]]). Interestingly, several of these names follow a pattern based on metric prefixes: mega, giga, and tera.

===Boss===
The general concept of a {{wp|Boss (video gaming)|boss}} in video games may refer to special, strong opponents who must be defeated to obtain an important reward or advance past a particular point in the game. In the Pokémon games, there are various figures who may fit this description:
* Core games
** [[Gym Leader]]s: these are characters the player explicitly has to defeat if they wish to reach the Elite Four. Oftentimes, defeating a particular Gym Leader is also required for the player to advance past certain obstacles, especially those that require the use of an [[HM]].
** [[Elite Four]]: the "point" of the [[core series]] games is generally to beat the Elite Four, who will be stronger than any other Trainers the player has faced previously.
** {{pkmn|Champion}}: after beating the Elite Four, the player must also defeat the region's Champion in order to be allowed to enter the [[Hall of Fame]].
** [[Rival]]s: the player will often cross paths with a rival character, and usually they must face off with this character one last time before being able to face the Elite Four.
** [[Island kahuna]]s: a group of four Trainers in the [[Alola]] [[region]] that Trainers will need to defeat to progress in their [[island challenge]]. They can be seen as the Alolan equivalent to Gym Leaders.
** [[Villainous team|villainous organization]]s in the core games (and many [[spin-off Pokémon games|spin-offs]]) will appear frequently cross paths with the player. In the course of the game, the player will eventually have to defeat various high-ranking members of these organizations and in most cases, their leader. Every organization has different ranking trainer classes, however in most cases, Grunts and Employees are not considered bosses.
** {{tc|Tower Tycoon}}s, [[Frontier Brain]]s, {{tc|Subway Boss}}es, {{tc|Boss Trainer}}s, {{tc|Battle Chatelaine}}s and {{tc|Battle Legend}}s: these are the leaders of certain special [[Battle facility|battle facilities]] presented as an optional challenge once the player has beaten the Champion. Defeating them usually grants the player a [[Trainer Card level|special achievement]].
** Particular Trainers during promotion and reward matches in the [[Z-A Royale]] may be considered bosses, particularly the promotion matches which replace the battling of a Gym Leader in the traditional gym-focused games.
** [[Legendary Pokémon|Legendary]] and [[Mythical Pokémon]]: the player will encounter these later in the game, usually resulting in a boss battle. Many Legendary Pokémon generally have larger base stats compared to usual Pokémon.
** [[Totem Pokémon]] are encountered at the end of every trial throughout the [[island challenge]], serving as the boss of each trial.
** [[Max Raid Battle]]s are co-op battles with a [[Dynamax]] or [[Gigantamax]] Pokémon, similar to a traditional boss battles as they are fought at various intervals throughout the game. The {{p|Eternatus}} and [[Eternamax]] Eternatus battles are stylized after the Max Raid format.
** [[Noble Pokémon]], Origin Forme {{p|Dialga}}/{{p|Palkia}}, and {{ga|Arceus}} are encountered in Pokémon Legends: Arceus and need to be quelled through throwing {{cat|balms}} at them (while optional, periodic battling makes this easier), this acts similar to a traditional RPG boss fight.
** [[Alpha Pokémon]] (who's Japanese name are '''オヤブン''' ''boss''), are larger, more powerful, variants of usual Pokémon. The player receives larger rewards for their defeat.
** [[Titan Pokémon]], [[Starmobile]]s, the {{p|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}} in [[Area Zero]], the {{p|Ursaluna|Bloodmoon Ursaluna}}, {{p|Ogerpon}}, {{p|Terapagos}} and {{p|Pecharunt}} are encountered and possess larger health bars similar to how boss health bars are depicted in most games and in most cases, also possess a title right after their name, such as "Terapagos, the Indigo Disk".
** [[Tera Raid Battle]] are co-op battles with a [[Terastal|Terastallized]] Pokémon, similar to a traditional boss battles and Max Raid Battles. The {{ga|Terpagos}} fight with [[Carmine]] is stylized after this format.
** [[Rogue Mega Evolution]], [[Hyperrogue Ange Floette]], {{p|Zygarde}}, [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Kyogre}}, and Primal {{p|Groudon}} are encountered and possess larger health bars similar to how boss health bars are depicted in most games.
* Side games
** Pregymleader [[Justy]]: Justy is the leader of the [[Prestige Precept Center|Pre Gym]] in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{Pokémon XD}}.
** {{tc|Area Leader}}s and {{tc|Mt BtlMaster}}: these are the heads of different [[Mt. Battle]] areas in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{Pokémon XD}}.
** {{tc|Colosseum Leader}}s, {{tc|Colosseum Master}}s, and the [[Mysterial|Pokétopia Master]]: these are the heads of {{DL|Pokétopia|Colosseums}} in {{g|Battle Revolution}}.
* Spin-offs
**The {{g|Mystery Dungeon series}} has various boss characters at different points in the story:
*** {{DL|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Bosses|Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team → Bosses}}
*** {{DL|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Bosses|Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness → Bosses}}
*** {{DL|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Bosses|Gates to Infinity → Bosses}}
*** {{DL|Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon|Bosses|Super Mystery Dungeon → Bosses}}
*** {{DL|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX|Bosses|Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX → Bosses}}
**[[Shadow Mewtwo]]: the opponent in the final battle of the storyline of [[Pokkén Tournament]]
**{{g|Magikarp Jump}} uses the term "boss" to refer one in every five opponents.
**{{g|UNITE}} features a [[Boss Rush]] mode, featuring Wild Pokémon that appear in other stages in the game that have a larger health bar than other Wild Pokémon, which are explicitly called Boss Pokémon in this mode.

===Collection terms===
====Living Pokédex====
{{main|Living Pokédex}}
Having a Pokémon of every species (available in that game) in the [[Pokémon Storage System]] at the same time.

====Legitimate====
A Pokémon or item obtained without [[cheating]] or intentional [[glitch]] use. Typically this refers to a Pokémon or item obtained through normal gameplay, without any third party modifications to the game's ROM or RAM.
Pokémon obtained via {{DL|Pseudorandom number generation|RNG Abuse}}, or via bugs that the player would run into naturally during normal gameplay, (Gen 3's [[List of glitches in Generation III#Roaming Pok.C3.A9mon IV bug|Roamer IV bug]] for example), are still typically considered legitimate as the game would generate those Pokémon within the bounds of what was possible to obtain naturally, in an unmodified instance of the game.
*Note that Legitimate does not inherently mean [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Legal|Legal]], it is possible to encounter Pokémon during normal gameplay that have otherwise impossible attributes, and the [[The Pokémon Company]] would consider unauthorized.
** 1★ [[Wild_Area_News/2020#April_28_to_May_11.2C_2020|Wild Area News]] {{p|Drilbur}} with {{m|Hydro Pump}} is an example of a Pokémon that was legitimately obtainable but considered [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Illegal|Illegal]], as it was programmed with a [[Game move errors|game move error]]. The game does not permit its use online nor official tournaments, and several hours after the mistake was discovered [[Game Freak]] had fixed the erroneous Wild Area News data to replace Hydro Pump with the correct move, {{m|Scratch}}.
** These situations are typically handled case-by-case. As a counter example, the 5★ [[Tera Raid Battle]] [[Female]] {{p|Indeedee}} with the error move {{m|Trick Room}} is not blocked from online use, and in early December 2022 even saw prior restrictions removed, permitting raids with the erroneous move to be hosted online to other players, and later patched the game to allow Female Indeedee to learn Trick Room via [[TM]]. In a situation like this, it could be argued the developers consider this error to be both [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Legal|Legal]] and Legitimate, despite the similar circumstances to the aforementioned Drilbur with Hydro Pump.
*Additionally, the state of the savefile itself is generally not taken into account when determining the legitimacy of an individual Pokémon. Even if the savefile is in an unnatural state via glitches, cheats, save editing, etc., if the generation/encounter conditions of a Pokémon are unaffected, a savefile in an unnatural state can still produce Legal and Legitimate Pokémon.
**As an example, using a glitch that warps the player to an area early, but does not alter the encounter conditions of Pokémon found in that area, would generate Pokémon in an identical manner to a player who arrived in that area under normal gameplay conditions.

=====Illegitimate=====
A Pokémon or item obtained via [[cheating]] or intentional [[glitch]] use. Typically this refers to a Pokémon or item generated via any third party modifications to the game's ROM or RAM, or with the use of intentional glitches to drastically alter the game into a state where it produces Pokémon or items in a way it would never be able to during the course of normal gameplay.
* This term may also be used to refer to {{pkmn2|event}} Pokémon generated outside of their typical distribution periods or methods via glitches, [[Arbitrary code execution]], [[Wonder Card]] injection, or other exploits such as the [https://pkmnclassic.net/ DNS Exploit].
**Contrary to the above, several event Pokémon are programmed as in-game static encounters or {{pkmn2|gift}}s accessible via activating an in-game event or event-exclusive location (such as [[Birth Island]]'s {{p|Deoxys}} or [[Faraway Island]]'s {{p|Mew}}), rather than generated directly by a Wonder Card.<br>It could be argued that if an encounter is accessed via warp glitches, (on a game version/language the {{tt|encounter was legitimately obtainable in|This does not apply to events that were programmed into the game, but were never distributed, such Arceus event in the Hall of Origin in Pokémon Platinum, as those will always be Illegal and Illegitimate if accessed via any method}}, i.e. Faraway Island's Mew is only legitimately accessible on Japanese language copies of Pokémon Emerald, accessing it on an English copy of Emerald would result in an [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Illegal|Illegal]] Mew), that since the encounter itself is unmodified and available in the base game, the Pokémon itself could be considered both [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Legal|Legal]] and/or [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Legitimate|Legitimate]] {{tt|even if the savefile itself is in an unnatural state.|This is disputed within the community, as some consider any Pokémon encountered on a savefile in an unnatural state to be Illegitimate, judging the legitimacy of the state of the savefile rather than judging the legitimacy of individual Pokémon contained within.}}
* Illegitimate Pokémon and items are not limited to just those produced via cheating using third party tools, as Pokémon or items generated directly via [[cloning glitches]] or Arbitrary code execution would still fall into this category, even if the result would be considered [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Legal|Legal]].

=====Legal=====
A Pokémon or item in a state that is possible to achieve through normal gameplay. This means that regardless of what method was used to obtain it, one could obtain this Pokémon in its current state without [[cheating]] or intentional [[glitch]] use.
*Note that this is not inherently the same as [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Legitimate|Legitimate]]. While most Legitimate Pokémon are also Legal, this term only refers to the current state of the Pokémon and whether it could be theoretically obtained in that state through normal gameplay. A Pokémon may still be Legal even if it was obtained through the use of third party modifications, cheats, glitches, etc.

=====Illegal=====
A Pokémon or item in a state that is typically impossible to achieve through normal gameplay, and/or is disallowed by [[The Pokémon Company]]. This means that regardless of what method was used to obtain it, this Pokémon has at least one value that could only be obtained via [[cheating]], intentional [[glitch]] use, or via an oversight by the developers of the game that permitted it to be obtained.
* Note that a Pokémon can still be illegal even if permitted to be used online, having not been detected by the server's [[Cheating#Cheat_prevention_in_the_Pok.C3.A9mon_games|anti-cheat detection]], as the term refers to the Pokémon itself being in an unobtainable state, not necessarily whether it is detected by the game's anti-cheat.
**{{Shiny}} {{p|Victini}} is an example of a Pokémon that is illegal but remains usable online. To date, it has never been obtainable in-game, nor distributed as an [[event Pokémon]] in its Shiny form. Despite being a [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Shiny-locked|Shiny-locked]] species, Shiny Victini is not detected by any anti-cheat in Generations {{gen|V}} through {{gen|IX}}, nor {{g|Bank}} or {{g|HOME}}.
* It is also possible for illegal Pokémon or items to be obtained, or even generated by players who are not [[cheating]], having only interacted with the game via legitimate means, as a result of interference by other cheating players.
** One such instance would be [[breeding]] using a parent Pokémon that has an impossible combination of [[Poké Ball]] and [[species]], or impossible [[Egg move]]s, obtained via [[trade]] from a cheating player. 
** Another instance would be a player joining a [[List of glitches in Generation VIII#Hacked Max Raids|hacked Max Raid]] via [[Y-Comm]], (prior to Sword and Shield v1.2.1), and then catching the resulting illegal Pokémon, or receiving an unobtainable item as a reward for defeating it. As a result, Pokémon and items that were impossible to receive via trade due to anti-cheat detection were made possible to obtain on an unmodified savefile, as the Pokémon and items are generated client-side by the non-cheating participant's game.

====Untouched====
A Pokémon that is in the same state as it was obtained in. Specifically, it has gained no [[experience]], [[level]]s, {{EV}}s, or [[Ribbon]]s, had none of its [[move]]s changed or reordered, and has not [[Evolution|evolved]], gained [[Pokérus]], or had its pre-existing Pokérus become inactive. Commonly used to refer to [[event Pokémon]] and in-game [[gift Pokémon]].

====Balltism====
A term used by collectors to describe catching Pokémon with a specific type of [[Poké Ball]]. Often, this involves a desire to have the Ball's color scheme, thematic properties, or release animation align with the Pokémon it contains, as well as unique or unlikely combinations being valued. Some examples commonly sought after by players are Pokémon obtained in [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Apriball|Apriball]]s (which in most main series games are rare, or difficult to obtain), and non-[[Ultra Beast]] species being obtained in [[Beast Ball]]s (due to the drastically lower 0.1× [[catch rate]] when used on non-Ultra Beast species).

The word is a {{wp|portmanteau}} of "Ball" and "Autism",{{fact}} sometimes used as a pejorative term in reference to one's obsession with obtaining a given Pokémon in a specific type of Ball, or devaluing Pokémon deemed to be in a "non-matching" type of Ball.<ref>https://gamerant.com/pokemons-quick-ball-controversy-shiny-hunting-look-reversal/</ref>

On April 24, 2021, the merchandise line "BALL FREAK", which prominently featured the concept of matching Pokémon and Poké Balls of similar style/coloration, released on the Japanese Pokémon Center website;<ref>https://www.pokemon.co.jp/goods/2021/04/210409_to01.html</ref> however, this terminology hasn't appeared in any other media. It's currently unclear if [[The Pokémon Company]] considers "ball freak" an official term for the concept, or if it was only intended for use as a title for the specific merchandise line. To date, this remains the only official reference to this concept.

===Game acronyms===
Most of the Pokémon games come in pairs and are often followed by enhanced versions, hence Pokémon fans call them collectively with the first letters of their names.

* '''RGBY''': {{game4|Red|Green|Blue|Yellow}}. Sometimes only '''RBY''', omitting the Japanese exclusive Pokémon Green in favor of its international release, Pokémon Blue.
* '''GSC''': {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}
* '''RSE''': {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}
* '''FRLG''': {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}
* '''DPPt''': {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}
* '''HGSS''': {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}
* '''BW''': {{game|Black and White|s}}
* '''B2W2''': {{B2W2}}. Sometimes '''BW2'''.
* '''XY''': {{g|X and Y}}
* '''ORAS''': {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}
* '''PoGO''': {{g|GO}}
* '''SMUSUM''': {{game4|SMUSUM}}. Can be split respectively into '''SM''' for Sun and Moon, and '''USUM''' or '''USM''' for Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. Sometimes '''SuMo''' is seen for Sun and Moon only.
* '''LGPE''': {{LGPE}}. Sometimes '''PE''', '''LPE''', or '''LPLE'''.
* '''SwSh''': {{g|Sword and Shield}}. Capitalization can vary between '''SwSh''' and '''SWSH'''. Sometimes '''SS'''.
** '''IoA''': Pokémon Sword and Shield: [[The Isle of Armor]]
** '''CT''': Pokémon Sword and Shield: [[The Crown Tundra]]
* '''BDSP''': {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}
* '''LA''': {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. Sometimes '''PLA''' or '''PL:A'''.
* '''SV''': {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. Sometimes '''ScVi''' or '''ScarVio'''.
** '''HToA0''': Scarlet and Violet: [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]]. Used when referring to the pair of DLCs, rather than the individual releases. Sometimes '''HToAZ'''.
*** '''TTM''': Scarlet and Violet: [[The Teal Mask]]. Includes the initial "The" in the acronym to avoid confusion with [[TM]] for Technical Machine.
*** '''TID''': Scarlet and Violet: [[The Indigo Disk]]. Sometimes '''ID''', dropping the initial "The" in an attempt to avoid confusion with [[Trainer ID]], which also uses the acronym "TID".
* '''ZA''': {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. Sometimes '''Z-A''', '''PLZA''', '''PL:ZA''', or '''L:ZA'''.
* '''WiWa''': {{g|Winds and Waves}}. Sometimes '''WW'''.

===Gameplay terms===
====6IV or 6V====
Refers to either a Pokémon with [[individual values]] of 31 for all 6 [[stat]]s, or a Pokémon with all 6 stats set to "competitively viable" values. This is also commonly referred to as "perfect IVs".
* As an example, some competitive strategies require a Pokémon to have an intentionally lower stat, such as an IV of 0 for {{stat|Attack}}, or {{stat|Speed}}. Strategies using {{m|Trick Room}} or {{m|Gyro Ball}} may benefit from a Pokémon having a lower Speed stat than the opponent, therefore a Pokémon with IVs of 31 in every other stat, but with a Speed IV of 0, may still sometimes be referred to as 6IV or "perfect".

The term "5IV" or "5V" (a Pokémon with IVs of 31 in only five stats) is also commonly used due to the {{pkmn|breeding}} effect of [[Destiny Knot]] introduced in [[Generation VI]], allowing for the value of 5 random IVs of a bred Pokémon to be inherited from the parents if either parent holds the Destiny Knot.

====Chaining====
A method used to repeatedly encounter the same Pokémon via a feature such as [[Poké Radar]] and [[DexNav]], which lines up the chance of getting a desired Pokémon. Chaining with the Poke Radar is often tried for the purposes of getting a [[Shiny Pokémon]] of a specific species.

====Cheating====
{{main|Cheating}}
The use of any device unauthorized by [[The Pokémon Company]] to modify a Pokémon game. Being found to have cheated in any way, or having a Pokémon that was obtained by cheating on another game will result in immediate disqualification from any official tournament, and disqualification from all future official tournaments.

====EV training====
Intentionally battling Pokémon for the {{EV}}s they give out in order to ensure EVs are distributed in a specific way or capped.

====Focus Miss/Stone Miss/Will-O-Miss====
Derogatory terms for {{m|Focus Blast}}, {{m|Stone Edge}}, and {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, referring to the [[move]]s' mediocre [[accuracy]].

====Gear Station or Centrico Plaza trick====
Securing the D-pad or analog stick in one direction so that the player continuously walks around the circular {{DL|Battle Subway|Gear Station}} or [[Centrico Plaza]], resulting in an effortless refilling of [[Hidden Grotto]]es, increase in [[friendship]], hatching of {{pkmn|Egg}}s, and accumulation of [[Poké Mile]]s.

====Grinding====
{{pkmn|training|Training}} a Pokémon to a certain [[level]] through repetitive battling.

====Hatcher====
A Pokémon with the [[Ability]] {{a|Flame Body}}, {{a|Magma Armor}}, or {{a|Steam Engine}} such as {{p|Fletchinder}}, {{p|Slugma}}, and {{p|Rolycoly}} in the [[party]], mainly used for hatching {{pkmn|Egg}}s faster.

====HM mule====
[[File:HM mule Bibarel.png|thumb|right|220px|A Bibarel that knows four field moves]]
A term used within parts of the fandom to refer to a Pokémon in a Trainer's party that is used for navigational support through the use of [[field move]]s—generally those taught by [[HM|Hidden Machines]]. HM mules will typically have three or four move slots occupied with field moves, allowing smooth passage through caves, across oceans, or past other obstacles at the expense of their battling capabilities.

With the retirement of HMs and field moves from [[Generation VII]] onward, HM mules are not necessary in those games. In Generation VII, the functions of HMs are replaced by [[Poké Ride]]s{{sup/7|SMUSUM}} and [[Secret Technique]]s{{sup/7|PE}}. In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, the [[Rotom Bike]]'s Water Mode replaces {{m|Surf}} and the [[Flying Taxi]] replaces {{m|Fly}}. In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, HM functions can be accessed through the [[Pokétch]], though certain other field moves (such as {{m|Flash}}) are used by a party Pokémon as in the original games. In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, various {{hi|ride Pokémon}} provide similar functions, allowing the player to traverse through [[Hisui]] faster, swim through water, climb steep cliffs, and glide through the air. The [[Arc Phone]]'s map allows players to warp between locations, replacing Fly. In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, traversal abilities are gained by the player's {{ga|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{ga|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}} during the {{DL|Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Path of Legends}} storyline, and the Flying Taxi from Sword and Shield returns.

HM mules are often referred to as '''HM slaves''' or '''HM friends'''. An equivalent term used within the Japanese fandom is '''{{tt|秘伝要員|ひでんよういん}}''', with {{tt|秘伝|ひでん}} being from {{tt|秘伝マシン|ひでんマシン}} ''Hidden Machine'' followed by {{tt|要員|よういん}} ''personnel''.

[[File:HSOWA HGSS.png|thumb|220px|right|A Skitty and a Wailord at the Day Care]]
The fan term HSOWA is an initialism that stands for "'''Hot Skitty On Wailord Action'''". It is derived from the fact that {{p|Skitty}} and {{p|Wailord}} can {{pkmn|breeding|breed}} in the {{pkmn|games}} despite their massive size difference. It has reached cult status on some message boards. The term originates from GameFAQs.

====IV breeding====

====Masuda method====
{{main|Masuda method}}
The game mechanic that increases the likelihood of [[Shiny Pokémon]] to hatch from {{pkmn|Egg}}s if the parents are from differing real-world geographical locations. Named after [[Junichi Masuda]], who first documented this mechanic in [http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/?p=30 his blog].

====Nuzlocke Challenge====
{{main|Nuzlocke Challenge}}
A special challenge playthrough of a Pokémon game in which the player must follow a set of self-enforced rules to make the game more difficult.

Named after the [http://nuzlocke.com/ comic series] of the same name that first proposed the type of playthrough.

====Professor Oak Challenge====
A time-consuming challenge playthrough of a Pokémon game in which the player must fill up the [[Pokédex]] as much as possible before obtaining each [[badge]] (or completing an equivalent boss fight in games without badges). This challenge was created by user Chamale on {{wp|Reddit}}<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemon/comments/8utudm/final_update_i_filled_the_pok%C3%A9dex_in_crystal/ Final update - I filled the Pokédex in Crystal Version as much as possible without trading or glitches. My legendaries easily defeated Red's high-level team. (Links to previous posts in comments)] | u/Chamale, r/pokemon, Jun 29, 2018</ref>, and popularized by Johnstone on {{wp|YouTube}}.

====Repel trick====
{{main|Appendix:Repel trick}}
Using [[Repel]]s and a lead Pokémon of a specific level to restrict [[wild Pokémon]] encounters to a specific Pokémon or group of Pokémon due to the maximum level at which wild Pokémon can appear.

====Shiny-locked====
{{main|List of unobtainable Shiny Pokémon}}
Referring to a Pokémon obtained in a particular game that is prevented from being {{Shiny}}.

====Spinners====
NPC Trainers that randomly change the direction they face. Avoiding battles with them is key to [[speedrun]]s.

====Spinner trick====
Securing the D-pad or analogue stick in a single direction so that the player continuously walks into a [[spin tile]], resulting in an effortless increase in [[friendship]] and hatching of {{pkmn|Egg}}s. Often called the "Fuego trick" in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} due to [[Fuego Ironworks]] being the optimal location for doing so.

====Synchronizer====
Pokémon with the [[Ability]] {{a|Synchronize}} such as {{p|Abra}} and {{p|Ralts}} in the first place in the [[party]], mainly used for obtaining Pokémon with the desired [[Nature]].

====Walking Pokémon====

Referring to the [[Poké Ball]]s crafted using [[Apricorn]]s in [[Johto]], [[Kanto]]{{sup/4|HGSS}}, or [[Galar]] regions, specifically the [[Heavy Ball|Heavy]], [[Lure Ball|Lure]], [[Friend Ball|Friend]], [[Love Ball|Love]], [[Level Ball|Level]], [[Fast Ball|Fast]], and [[Moon Ball]]s.

Despite Poké Balls in {{g|Legends: Arceus}} also being craftable using Apricorns, this term doesn't refer to Poké Balls from the Hisui region.

===Metagame terms===
{{main|Appendix:Metagame terminology}}

===Technical terms===
====EVs====
{{main|Effort values}}
Effort values, often shortened to EVs and officially known as base points, are capped permanent stat bonuses gained by defeating Pokémon, using items such as [[vitamin]]s or [[wing]]s, or using services such as those in [[Join Avenue]]. They ensure trained Pokémon are stronger than newly caught Pokémon.

=====AVs=====
{{main|Go Power}}
Awakening values, often shortened to AVs and officially known as Go Power, are used in {{LGPE}} in place of EVs. AVs are used to increase a Pokémon's [[statistic|stats]], but are awarded through the use of [[Candy]] and [[level]]ing up, rather than by defeating other Pokémon in {{pkmn|battle}}s or consuming [[vitamin]]s.

=====ELs or GVs=====
{{main|Effort level}}
Effort levels, often shortened to ELs, (referred to internally as "Ganbaru values", often shortened to GVs), are a mechanic introduced in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. Effort levels take the place of [[effort value]]s from previous games. Pokémon gain effort levels through the use of [[Grit]] items, but will initially begin with 0-3 ELs in each stat, with the amount being determined by the Pokémon's [[IV]]s.

====IVs====
{{main|Individual values}}
Individual values, often shortened to IVs, are fixed values that can be inherited from the Pokémon's parents. They ensure Pokémon are genetically different.

====PID or EC====
{{main|Personality value}}
A shortened version of the term personality value, a hidden value used to determine several properties of a Pokémon, including {{Shiny|Shininess}}. [[Generation VI]] onwards, this value is split into two separate values, with the latter being referred to as the Encryption Constant, often shortened to EC.

=====PSV or ESV=====
Pokémon Shiny Value, often shortened to PSV, and Egg Shiny Value, often shortened to ESV, are values derived from a Pokémon or {{pkmn|Egg}}'s [[personality value]], designed as an easy way to tell if the Pokémon or Egg will appear as {{Shiny}} for a given player, if the value is the same as that player's Trainer Shiny Value, (often shortened to TSV).

====TID or SID====
{{main|Trainer ID number}}
Trainer ID, often shorted to TID, is the 5 to 6 digit value displayed on the player's {{ga|Trainer Card}}, [[League Card]], or in-game save menu. The Secret ID, often shortened to SID, is a hidden 4 or 5 digit value used alongside the Trainer ID to determine which Pokémon will appear as {{Shiny}} for the player, according to the Pokémon's [[personality value]].

=====TSV=====
Trainer Shiny Value, often shortened to TSV, is a value derived from the player's Trainer ID and Secret ID, designed as an easy way to tell if a given {{pkmn|Egg}} or Pokémon will be Shiny for the player, if their Egg Shiny Value, (often shortened to ESV), or Pokémon Shiny Value, (often shortened to PSV) is the same value as the player's Trainer Shiny Value.

====RNG or RNG Abuse====
{{main|Pseudorandom number generation}}
Refers to the Random Number Generator, or the practice of manipulating it through the use of fan-made software (commonly referred to as RNG Abuse), in order to obtain [[Shiny Pokémon]] or Pokémon with specific {{IV}}s—both endeavors which would otherwise leave a lot up to chance.

==Spin-off game terms==
===Charmer===
Refers to any Pokémon, usually {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon, with {{m|Charm}} as its Fast Move in the [[Pokémon GO]] competitive battle. Examples of charmers are {{p|Clefable}}, {{p|Wigglytuff}}, {{p|Gardevoir}}, {{p|Togekiss}}, and {{p|Primarina}}.

===Hundo/Shundo===
Hundo (from "hundred percent" or "100%") refers to Pokémon with [[individual values#Pokémon GO 2|individual values]] of 15 for all of its 3 stats (HP, Attack, and Defense) in [[Pokémon GO]], which is similar to the "6V/6IV" or "perfect IVs" in the [[core series]]. Shundo refers to a Pokémon that is both hundo and {{Shiny}}.

===Mudboi===
Refers to any {{t|Water}}/{{type|Ground}} Pokémon with {{m|Mud-Slap}} or {{m|Mud Shot}} as its Fast Move in the [[Pokémon GO]] competitive battle. Examples of mudbois are {{p|Quagsire}}, {{p|Swampert}}, {{p|Whiscash}}, and {{p|Gastrodon}}.

==Animation terms==
===Ashnime/Likonime===
These terms refer to the two main {{pkmn|animated series}}: Ashnime refers to {{aniseries|PTS}}, whereas Likonime refers to {{aniseries|HZ}}.

==Pokémon Trading Card Game terms==
These terms are typically derived from and used by the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] player base, rather than official sources. Many of these terms were originally used for ''{{wp|Magic: The Gathering}}'', another trading card game which the Pokémon TCG draws many design parallels from.

===Baby===
Not to be confused with [[baby Pokémon]], "baby" refers to a non-[[Rule Box]] card being contrasted with one with a Rule Box. For example, the {{TCG|Blacephalon archetype}} may be referred to as running baby {{TCG ID|Unbroken Bonds|Blacephalon|32}} alongside {{TCG ID|Lost Thunder|Blacephalon-GX|52}}.

===BDIF===
Short for "'''Best Deck In Format'''".

===Control deck===
A deck archetype whose purpose is to control the opponent's options, typically in such a way that stops them from performing their own deck's strategies. Sometimes known as a "'''stall deck'''", as the archetype's goal isn't to reach a victory condition but rather to stall the opponent and run them out of their resources. Examples of control decks include {{TCG|Snorlax Stall}}.

===Deck out===
Having no cards in the deck. A player that decks out and is unable to draw a card at the beginning of their turn automatically loses the game.

===Donk===
Winning on the first turn of the game, typically by Knocking Out the opponent's Active Pokémon when they have no Benched Pokémon for backup.

===Gust===
Switching an opponent's Benched Pokémon to the Active Spot. Named after the Trainer card {{TCG ID|Base Set|Gust of Wind|93}}.

===Lock===
Effects that prevent the opponent from playing certain cards (e.g. {{TCG|Item card|Item}} lock) or making use of cards in play (e.g. {{TCG|Ability}} lock).

===Mill===
Discarding cards from the top of the player's or the opponent's deck. Named after the ''Magic: The Gathering'' card "[https://scryfall.com/card/m19/242/millstone Millstone]".

A deck that focuses on milling the opponent is known as a "'''mill deck'''". In the Pokémon Trading Card Game, this is a viable winning strategy, as a player who can't draw a card from their deck at the start of their turn automatically loses the game. The equivalent Japanese term is '''LO''', short for '''ライブラリアウト ''Library Out''''' — "library" is the ''Magic: The Gathering'' term for a deck. Note that "LO" in Japan sometimes also refers to control or stall decks.

===Scoop===
To concede a match, referring to the act of picking up and tidying all the cards on the player's table during a match. Not to be confused with cards that let the player put a Pokémon in play into their hand.

===Tech===
A card that isn't part of a deck's main strategy, but is included to improve the deck's chances against specific bad matchups.

===Toolbox===
Unlike decks that focus on a specific primary attacking Pokémon, a "toolbox" or "box" deck includes many different Pokémon in order to target specific matchups in the meta. Examples of toolbox decks include {{TCG|Joltik Box}} and {{TCG|Tera Box}}.

The equivalent Japanese term is バレット ''Bullet'', derived from the similar concept of "[https://mtg.wiki/page/Silver_bullet silver bullet]" decks in ''Magic: The Gathering''.

===Tutor===
To "tutor" a card means to search that specific card from the deck. Named after the ''Magic: The Gathering'' card "[https://scryfall.com/card/cmm/150/demonic-tutor Demonic Tutor]", which lets the player search their deck for any card.

Treasures of ruin

2026-04-01T11:08:11Z

Pescavelho: /* Trivia */

[[File:treasures of ruin HOME wallpaper.png|thumb|250px|Clockwise from top-left: {{p|Chi-Yu}}, {{p|Wo-Chien}}, {{p|Ting-Lu}}, and {{p|Chien-Pao}}. Artwork from [[Pokémon HOME]].]]
The '''treasures of ruin'''<ref group="lower-alpha">These Pokémon are consistently referred to as the "treasures of ruin" by [[Raifort]] in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. The term is also used in a description in {{g|HOME}}. "''Pokémon known as the '''treasures of ruin''', sealed away with sacred stakes.''"</ref> (Japanese: '''{{ruby|災|わざわ}}いの{{ruby|宝|たから}}''' ''Wazawai no Takara'', "treasures of calamity"), also known as '''Ruinous Pokémon'''<ref group="lower-alpha">The four Pokémon collectively share the [[Pokémon category|category]] "Ruinous Pokémon".</ref> and '''Calamity Pokémon'''<ref group="lower-alpha">From the name of their battle theme in [[Nintendo Music]], "Battle! (Calamity Pokémon)".</ref> (Japanese: '''{{ruby|災|さい}}{{ruby|厄|やく}}ポケモン''' ''Saiyaku Pokemon'', "Calamity Pokémon"), are a [[Legendary quartet|quartet]] of [[Legendary Pokémon]] consisting of {{p|Wo-Chien}}, {{p|Chien-Pao}}, {{p|Ting-Lu}}, and {{p|Chi-Yu}}. The four Pokémon are individually referred to by the same names as their [[Signature Ability|signature Abilities]]: the '''{{a|Tablets of Ruin}}''', '''{{a|Sword of Ruin}}''', '''{{a|Vessel of Ruin}}''', and '''{{a|Beads of Ruin}}''', respectively.<ref group="lower-alpha">Referred to in-game as well as in promotional material for events, e.g. "Challenge the Shiny Tablets of Ruin!"</ref> They originated in [[Region#Unnamed locations|an unknown land]], but currently reside in the [[Paldea]] region.

==Shared design==
The four treasures of ruin share a primary type, {{t|Dark}}; a {{pkmn|category}}, "Ruinous Pokémon"; and a signature move, {{m|Ruination}}. Their [[Signature Ability|signature Abilities]] are all variations of each other, sharing the effect of lowering a certain [[stat]] by 25% for all {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} on the field except themselves when they are in battle. Their names are all derived from Chinese.

===Origin===
Each Pokémon appears to draw prominent inspiration from ancient Chinese artifacts originating from {{wp|History of China#Ancient China|the era}} prior to the establishment of the {{wp|Qin dynasty}} in 221 BC, particularly {{wp|bamboo and wooden slips}}, double-edged ''{{wp|jian}}'' sword, bronze ''{{wp|Ding (vessel)|ding}}'' cauldron, and {{wp|Chinese jade|jade}} ware. The appearance of the [[treasures of ruin]] may also reference early modern cultural and commercial exchanges of the West with China during the period, such as the {{wp|History of China–Portugal relations|Portuguese establishment}} of trading activities in southern China in the early 16th century with the founding of {{wp|Portuguese Macau|Macau}}, followed by {{wp|China–Spain relations|Spanish contacts}} with China starting at the latter part of the century.

They may also be partly inspired by the concept of the {{wp|Four Perils}}, four malevolent beings that exist in {{wp|Chinese mythology}}.

==History==
The four treasures of ruin were once normal objects originated from [[Region#Unnamed locations|a distant land]] in the east of [[Paldea]]. These four treasures were a set of wooden tablets, a sword, a vessel, and a set of beads. As time passed, each of the treasures were corrupted by negative human emotions: grudge, hatred, fear, and envy respectively, gaining life and cladding themselves in dead leaves, snow and ice, dirt and rocks, and fire to create their respective bodies, becoming the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Wo-Chien}}, {{p|Chien-Pao}}, {{p|Ting-Lu}}, and {{p|Chi-Yu}}.

One day, in the ancient times of Paldea, a merchant came from the east in possession of these four treasures, traveled to the Paldea region, and presented them to the Paldean king. In excitement, the treasure-obsessed king quickly bought them all, keeping them in his castle with his other treasures. The king's greed, however, eventually caused the four treasures to awaken, transforming into their Pokémon forms. The four Legendary Pokémon went berserk and caused a disaster that completely destroyed the castle and almost the entire kingdom afterwards.

Eventually though, the four of them were defeated and sealed away in different shrines scattered across the Paldea region by Pokémon wielders called out by the Paldean king. Wo-Chien was sealed within the [[Grasswither Shrine]], Chien-Pao within the [[Icerend Shrine]], Ting-Lu within the [[Groundblight Shrine]], and Chi-Yu within the [[Firescourge Shrine]].

==In the games==
===Pokémon Scarlet and Violet===
The four treasures of ruin are scattered across Paldea, sealed in special shrines. Wo-Chien's can be found in [[South Province (Area One)]], Chien-Pao's can be found in [[West Province (Area One)]], Ting-Lu's can be found in the [[Socarrat Trail]], and Chi-Yu's can be found in [[North Province (Area Two)]]. Their shrines are usually locked, but can be unlocked after pulling out eight different stakes scattered across their respective areas. Upon pulling out all stakes, their shrines will unlock and the respective Pokémon can be called out to battle by interacting with their shrines.

The Shiny version of the treasures of ruin were encounterable in four limited [[Poké Portal News]] events as 5 Star Tera Raids. During the [[Tera Raid]] Battle event, neither of the four can be captured and said events ends on September 30, 2025 respectively. '''Challenge the Shiny Tablets of Ruin''' event lasts from Friday, August 8, 2025 to Tuesday, September 30, 2025. '''Challenge the Shiny Sword of Ruin''' event lasts from August 22, 2025 to Tuesday, September 30, 2025. '''Challenge the Shiny Vessel of Ruin''' event lasts from September 5, 2025, to September 30, 2025. '''Challenge the Shiny Beads of Ruin''' event lasts from September 19, 2025 to September 30, 2025. Defeating any of this battles one million times will grant players the respective Shiny Pokémon to be obtained though [[Mystery Gift]] rewards at the following times.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Scarlet & Violet}}====
While none of the treasures of ruin have appeared in [[Pokémon Adventures]] so far, {{Scarlet}}, who is a treasure hunter, is battling [[Paldea]]'s [[Gym Leader]]s in search of information about them. In [[PASV10]], it's revealed that Scarlet is seeking the treasures for one of her clients. Later on, it's revealed that her client is [[Uva Academy]]'s history teacher [[Raifort]], who wants to capture them and bring them under control so they can't spread ruin in case they're released into the world. She also reveals that to unseal the treasure, Scarlet will need another Pokémon with a special power, the {{ga|Miraidon|Iron Serpent}}.

==Trivia==
* The treasures of ruin share similarities to the [[guardian deities]]:
** They are a quartet of Legendary Pokémon situated in a particular region.
** Both quartets share a base stat total of 570.
** Each quartet has a shared [[type]]: the treasures of ruin share the {{t|Dark}} type, while the guardian deities share the {{t|Fairy}} type.
** The respective quartets' [[signature move]]s, {{m|Ruination}} and {{m|Nature's Madness}}, are differently typed variations of each other, both being moves that deal damage equivalent to half the target's remaining HP.
** Both quartets also share variations of given [[Ability|Abilities]]: the treasures of ruin all have variations of Abilities that lower a stat of all other Pokémon on the field when they are present, while the guardian deities all share Abilities that summon a different type of [[terrain]] upon entering battle.
* Wo-Chien, Chien-Pao, Ting-Lu, and Chi-Yu all have their names romanized in the {{wp|Wade–Giles}} format in English, Spanish, and Italian. In French and German, their names are instead romanized in the Hanyu {{wp|Pinyin}} format, with their respective names being Chongjian, Baojian, Dinglu, and Yuyu in those languages.
* The treasures of ruin are the first Pokémon whose [[base stats]] were adjusted via a {{DL|Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Version history|patch}} to the game, with each receiving a total decrease of 10 points:
** Wo-Chien lost 5 points in base Attack and Special Attack.
** Chien-Pao lost 10 points in base Attack.
** Ting-Lu lost 10 points in base HP and 5 points in base Defense, while gaining 5 points in base Special Attack.
** Chi-Yu lost 10 points of base Special Attack.

'''{{p|Arceus}}''' (Japanese: '''アルセウス''' ''Arceus''), also known as '''almighty [[Sinnoh]]''' (Japanese: '''シンオウさま''' ''Shin'ou-sama''), is a {{pkmn2|Mythical}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and the titular character of {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. It is the one who brings the {{player}} from the present day to the [[Hisui]] [[region]], and also serves as the final boss of the game. Arceus is simply the name that [[human]]s call it.

It is said to have created the [[Hisui]]/[[Sinnoh]] [[region]], the {{pkmn|world}}, and possibly even the entire {{Pkmn|universe}}.

==In the core series games==
===History===
====Background====
In the past, Arceus created the [[Hisui]] [[region]] (starting by [[Mount Coronet]]), the {{pkmn|world}}, and the entire {{pkmn|universe}}, along with the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}. At some point later, it banished {{p|Giratina}} to the [[Distortion World]] for its violence. It was worshiped by the ancient Sinnoh people, being known as the "almighty Sinnoh".

After the [[ancient hero]] of legend and his ten Pokémon companions successfully faced it in battle, Arceus gave its blessings to the hero's companions,<ref>[[Mai]]: ''"The Pokémon that graces [[Deertrack Heights]] is one of those honored few. It is directly descended from a Pokémon that was blessed with almighty Sinnoh’s protection."'' ({{g|Legends: Arceus}})</ref> which they used to protect the people and Pokémon of Hisui.<ref>[[Irida]]: ''"The ancestors of Kleavor, Wyrdeer, and their cohort drew on almighty Sinnoh’s own power to protect Pokémon and people alike—so it’s said. It’s by their grace that our clan—that any of us— still lives in vast Hisui today!"'' ({{g|Legends: Arceus}})</ref> These Pokémon's descendants would become the [[noble Pokémon]] and {{hi|Ride Pokémon}}. Afterwards, Arceus returned to the [[Hall of Origin]], and its [[Plate]]s were scattered across Hisui.

Following the disappearance of the Celestica people from Hisui, a new group of settlers arrived from across the sea, who adopted the Celesticas' name as their own. They would later become the rivaling [[Diamond Clan]] and [[Pearl Clan]], who believed almighty Sinnoh to be either {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}}, respectively. The two clans came to believe that their counterparts worshiped a false god and went to war against each other, with the conflict only ending after both sides became too weak to continue fighting.

===={{g|Legends: Arceus}}====
[[File:LA Arceus Realm.png|thumb|right|250px|Arceus meets {{ga|Rei}}.]]
At the start of the game, Arceus calls out to {{Ga|Rei}}/{{Ga|Akari}}, from within a realm located outside both space and time. This realm is completely absent of anything other than golden rays of light. Arceus asks the player's appearance and name, and after they have done so, it will introduce the setting of the game, much like the opening intros made by professors from other titles. It then tells them that they should seek out all Pokémon, and they will be able to find Arceus again.

Rei/Akari is then seen falling through empty space and loses their smartphone. Suddenly, Arceus, as a glowing white silhouette, appears before the player and transforms their smartphone into the [[Arc Phone]]. Rei/Akari is later found unconscious on {{DL|Jubilife Village|Prelude Beach}} by [[Professor Laventon]], having been [[Time travel|sent back in time]] by Arceus. Rei/Akari notices the Arc Phone on the ground nearby, and upon inspecting it, reads a message from Arceus: "Seek out all Pokémon." The Arc Phone will beep during certain points of the game, such as opening the caves to each of Hisui's three lakes, as a way for Arceus to help guide the player.

After Rei/Akari has obtained all eighteen [[Plate]]s, Arceus will transform the player's [[Celestica Flute]] into the [[Azure Flute]] at the [[Temple of Sinnoh]]. Upon playing it, if they hasn't caught all Pokémon, they will be disappointed to see that nothing has happened. The Arc Phone then begins to beep, with Arceus again prompting Rei/Akari to "Seek out all Pokémon."

Once Rei/Akari has obtained at least one of every Pokémon in Hisui (except for [[Mythical Pokémon]]), the player can return to the Temple of Sinnoh and play the Azure Flute once more. This time, a glowing stairway appears, leading to the [[Hall of Origin]]. Rei/Akari enters the area, seeing a large empty space. Arceus then appears and challenges the Rei/Akari to a battle. The Arc Phone becomes an infinite supply of [[Mysterious Balm]]s. Like with the frenzied noble Pokémon, the player must hit Arceus with balms until the gauge fully depletes.

Once Rei/Akari defeats Arceus, it will congratulate the player for successfully seeking out all Pokémon. Wishing to join the player on their journey, it will then grant them a part of itself {{p|Arceus|as a Pokémon}} that they can use in their [[party]], as well as giving them the [[Legend Plate]].

Later, when Rei/Akari returns to the Temple of Sinnoh, the Arc Phone will beep. Arceus will allow the player to have a rematch with {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}} (regardless of which one they originally faced) or Arceus itself.

After Rei/Akari completes the Daybreak storyline and catching Arceus, it will call for the player's Arc Phone, requesting them to sleep in their home. In their dream, Arceus will reveal the [[Eternal Battle Reverie]] option for the player to test their skills and luck in a series of endless battles. The challenge ends when they either lose or quit, and Arceus will leave behind various rewards based on the player's performance.

In all battles against Arceus, it will have the Legend Plate active, allowing it to change its type whenever it uses {{m|Judgment}}. During its first battle, it will have zero [[effort level]]s. In all other subsequent matches, it will have the full ten effort levels in all stats.

====[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl]], [[Pokémon Platinum Version|Platinum]], [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl]]====
{{Ga|Lucas}}/{{Ga|Dawn}} playing the [[Azure Flute]] at [[Spear Pillar]], a glowing stairway appears, leading to the [[Hall of Origin]], where they'll encounter Arceus and will be able to battle and catch it.

===Personality and characteristics===
{{main|Arceus (Pokémon)}}
Arceus is a Pokémon who was worshipped by the ancient Sinnoh people, being seen as a deity for having created the world. It is a powerful but elusive being, only showing itself to certain people. It has been known to become distrustful of certain entities, having banished {{p|Giratina}} for acts of violence. It can [[Talking Pokémon|speak and understand human speech]]; in English versions of the [[core series]] and [[Pokémon Masters EX]], it speaks in {{wp|Early Modern English}}.

It often resides in its own [[Dimension#Arceus's realm|realm]] that goes beyond space and time, and can bring people to and from that location. Otherwise, if summoned at the [[Temple of Sinnoh]]/[[Spear Pillar]], it will create a staircase to the [[Hall of Origin]] where it can be met. Beyond this, it can transform objects, for example turning the [[Celestica Flute]] into the [[Azure Flute]] and a regular {{wp|smartphone}} into the [[Arc Phone]].

===Appearance===
:''See also: [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Arceus|List of Pokémon with form differences → Arceus]]''
Arceus has the ability to change [[type]] using its {{a|Multitype}} [[ability]], changing the colors on its hooves, rings, and face to reflect the new type it takes. At the start of {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Arceus glows with several golden halos around its body, so brightly that its features are obscured, only showing its eyes and a rough outline of its form.

===In battle===
====[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl]] and [[Pokémon Platinum Version|Platinum]]====
An {{p|Arceus}} is coded to appear here, but was never made accessible. If defeated or run from, it will "disappear from sight", but the Azure Flute can be used to summon it again.

===={{g|Legends: Arceus}}====
;[[Hall of Origin]]
If the player gets too far from Arceus, it'll teleport close to the player and immediately explode.

Arceus has two attack sequences. This is indicated by whether it is glowing blue or red.
* Arceus glows blue in the first sequence.
** First, it will be sending a shock wave blasting outward from itself; simultaneously, a {{m|Draco Meteor|meteor}} will be regularly targeted at the player. This happens six times in a row.
** After a series of these attacks, it will aim six successive {{m|Judgment}} beams at the player.
** Then it will resume a few more series of shock waves and meteors.
** Next, it will form several energy orbs around itself, signaling {{m|Roar of Time|an undodgable blue roar-like attack}}; and at the same time, it will be sending out slower-moving shockwaves. The player can cancel this attack by hitting Arceus with balms, eventually stunning it. Once it is stunned, the player can send out a Pokémon to battle.
* Arceus glows red in the second sequence. It will start this sequence once 25% of its gauge has been depleted, and it will return to the first sequence after its gauge is depleted by 50%.
** First, it will teleport to a far side of the arena and begin charging an attack: the entire stage will start glowing red, except an area around Arceus, and will eventually detonate.
** Next, it {{m|Shadow Force|will disappear completely; and a few seconds later, a crack in space will appear}}, and then quickly emerge from it to charge at the player in a straight line.
** It will then fire six Judgment beams, like in the first phase.
** It will then begin to initiate another special attack, {{m|Spacial Rend|an undodgable pink rending-like attack}} which the player can cancel by hitting it with balms. After this, it will become stunned, and the player can send out a Pokémon to battle. 
Arceus will only transition to the next phase once its current attack within the sequence is finished, or after it's done being stunned. Because of this, it's very common to see Arceus transition back to the first phase at ~75% depletion.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Masters EX===
[[File:Masters Arceus Arc Arceus.png|thumb|200px|Arceus in [[Three Champions]], Chapter 1 of the [[Arceus arc]]]]
While Arceus does not appear physically, it plays a major role in the [[Arceus arc]] of the main story. It is first seen speaking to {{mas|Rei}} during [[The Echo of a Deity's Voice]] in a similar manner to the [[player character]] at the start of {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. Later, while [[Professor Bellis]] is presenting her research on [[sync stone ultimate|sync stones ultimate]], Arceus speaks to everyone at the stadium, saying "Show me thy bond". {{mas|Volo}} convinces [[Lear]] to hold a tournament for [[sync pair]]s to show Arceus their bonds, which Lear calls the Arceus Cup. During the Arceus Cup, Arceus grants [[arc suit]]s to sync pairs who demonstrate an especially deep bond with their partner Pokémon, with {{mas|Cynthia}}, {{mas|Steven}}, and {{mas|Lance}} being the first recipients.

According to a conversation with {{mas|N}} and {{mas|Iris}}, {{mas|Cynthia}}'s {{p|Giratina}} refuses to talk about Arceus, suggesting a similar grudge that other Giratina have with Arceus.

'''Terapagos''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''テラパゴス''' ''Terapagos'') is a {{type|Normal}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced during [[Generation IX]], in [[The Indigo Disk]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Terapagos has {{fd|Terapagos|three forms}}: ''' Normal Form''', '''Terastal Form''', and a unique {{type|Stellar}} [[Terastal phenomenon#Unique Terastallized states|Terastallized state]] referred to as its '''Stellar Form'''. At the start of a {{pkmn|battle}}, it changes from its Normal Form into its Terastal Form through its {{a|Tera Shift}} [[Ability]], and transforms into its Stellar Form upon {{Tera}}stallizing.

Terastal Form Terapagos is the [[game mascot]] of [[The Indigo Disk]], appearing in [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]]. [[Pagogo|It]] also plays an important role in {{aniseries|HZ}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Terapagos energy shield.png|thumb|left|250px|Terapagos's protective barrier]]
Terapagos is a {{wp|reptile|reptilian}}, turtle-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with an indigo body and strong crystalline motifs present in all of its forms. Each of its forms incorporates Terastal imagery, including hexagonal geometry, star symbolism, and a prominent cyan or light blue gem connected to its shell. Its eyes are consistently light blue with four-pointed, star-shaped pupils, often accented by glowing highlights. Diamond- or rhombus-like shapes recur across its design, whether as markings, jewelry-like protrusions, or crystalline growths. As Terapagos transitions into its higher forms, its physical presence becomes increasingly luminous and gem-like, emphasizing its connection to Terastal and Stellar energy.

Terapagos is responsible for the [[Terastal phenomenon]]. It inhabited the [[Paldea]] [[region]] in a bygone era and was thought that this species went extinct, with it said to have been caught up in seismic shifts that occurred about 2,000,000 years ago. However, {{ga|Terapagos|one specimen}} managed to survive by crystallizing its own body and going into hibernation in the [[Area Zero Underdepths]], where it laid low until the present day.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/terapagos_normal_form/ Normal Form Terapagos | Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet]</ref> According to [[Briar]], it is made of [[Terastal energy]]. With the power of its crystals, it can {{m|Tera Starstorm|bombard its foes with star-shaped projectiles}}. Terapagos can alter timelines in some capacity, as seen in the [[core series]] games and {{pkmn|animated series}}. An example of this is it being capable of using [[Crystal Cluster|crystals]] such as the ones from the [[Crystal Pool]] to bring [[human]]s and objects forward from other points in time<ref>[[Professor Sada|AI Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo|AI Turo]]{{sup/9|V}}: ''"[...] It sends [[Poké Ball]]s to a different point on the timeline to catch Pokémon there, and it can then draw them back here to the present."'' ([[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]])</ref> as seen with [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}}, who hadn't yet finished their time machine,<ref>[[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}}: ''"I am researching methods to catch {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that live in different timelines, so I might transport them to the present day in my own timeline."'' ([[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]: [[The Indigo Disk]])</ref> and [[Rystal]], who lived 100 years in the past. While using this ability, a mist appears around the affected area; once it disappears, whatever was brought is sent back. As depicted in several {{aniseries|HZ}} episodes, Terapagos can also create visions of its own memories and even of other people's. Due to the Terastal energy its body produces, Terapagos was responsible for allowing advanced technologies to exist in spite of human limitations. These include [[Tera Orb]]s, the professor's AI duplicate, and a [[time machine]] that summons [[Paradox Pokémon]] from different points in time or even from other [[Pokémon multiverse|timelines]]. Tera Orbs directly exposed to the energy from Terapagos will become able to Terastallize Pokémon without the need to recharge.<ref>[[Briar]]: ''"[...] I think it might be because your [[Tera Orb|orbs]] were directly exposed to the energy from Terapagos. [[Kieran]] and [[Carmine]] say that ever since the underdepths, they've been able to {{Tera}}stallize their Pokémon without charging their Tera Orbs."'' ([[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]: [[The Indigo Disk]])</ref> Terapagos also has a strong connection to the {{t|Stellar}} [[type]].<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/stellar_tera_type/ Master the Stellar Tera Type—the 19th Tera Type! | Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet]</ref> In ''[[HZ064|The Approaching Shadow!]]'', [[Spinel]] comes to the conclusion that Terapagos and [[Laquium]] are opposite forces. In ''[[HZ082|Beyond the Shining Rainbow]]'', it was shown absorbing the energy of the [[Tera Shard]]s in Area Zero to power up. In ''[[HZ087|Guided by the Black Rayquaza!]]'', it was also shown drawing power from its allies into itself to enhance its abilities. As shown in ''[[HZ092|Following Traces of Laquium]]'', {{p|Sableye}}, who feed on gemstones and crystals, seem to be interested in Terapagos's crystalline body.

[[Heath]] is the one who discovered Terapagos and coined its name.<ref>[[Heath]]: ''"While separated from the research team in the crater's depths, I found a strange...entity. [...] I have tentatively named this creature Terapagos. [...]"'' ([[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], in the chapter "A Disk Pokémon?" of the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}})</ref> Eventually, the public saw his findings as too fantastical to possibly be real, but Heath's descendant, Briar proved its existence by writing her first book: ''[[Briar's Book|The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]]'', which details the expedition she, the [[Player character|player]], [[Kieran]], and [[Carmine]] made in Area Zero Underdepths.

Terapagos is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Tera Starstorm}}.

===Forms===
Terapagos has three forms: Normal Form, Terastal Form, and Stellar Form.

</div>

====Normal Form====
[[File:Terapagos dormant state artwork.png|thumb|left|130px|Terapagos in its dormant state]]
Normal Form Terapagos is small in stature and has clearly defined legs, feet, and a tail. Its cyan hexagonal shell is compact and bears a simple Terastal symbol on its back. Cyan four-pointed stars with ring-like markings appear on its neck, legs, and tail tip. Its feet have three toes each. It possesses diamond-shaped ornaments, including a pattern on its forehead, two dangling diamond-shaped earrings, and a segmented, diamond-like ponytail that tapers in size and shifts toward a purplish hue near the end.

{{spoilers}}
Normal Form Terapagos is said to have a splendid aura. It is a small and particularly weak Pokémon; for that reason, it can assume a dormant state whenever its life is put in danger or it needs to hibernate, pulling its head, limbs, and tail into its shell and shrinking in size, which makes itself look like an ordinary jewel.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/area_zero_mystery/ Introducing a Newly Discovered Pokémon! | Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet]</ref> It can also crystallize the energy in its own body to form a green, protective barrier around itself if necessary, even in its dormant state. Through this same power, Terapagos causes glowing, hard crystals to form around it, even in its dormant state, which gave [[Area Zero]] its distinctive appearance. As depicted in {{aniseries|HZ}}, like other turtles, [[Pagogo|Terapagos]] is unable to move if it is turned upside down, needing outside help to stand back up. It has shown to have an incredibly long lifespan, with one known to have lived for millions of years, at least during its slumber within its shell.

As shown in [[HZ132]], Normal Form Terapagos is capable of sharing its Terastal energy in the form of an orb with other Pokémon, allowing them to Terastallize.{{left clear}}

Normal Form Terapagos is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Tera Shift}} as its [[Ability]].

====Terastal Form====
[[File:Terapagos Terastal Back.png|thumb|right|200px|The type icons morphing on Terastal Form Terapagos's shell]]
Terastal Form Terapagos is a reptilian Pokémon that resembles an indigo {{wp|sea turtle}}. It has thick, voluminous fur that forms a mane around its head and three tail-like masses at its rear, varying in color from greenish yellow to sky blue and glowing brightly in dark environments. Its hind legs are entirely concealed by fur, while only the tips of its front toes remain visible, rendering it unable to walk and requiring it to float instead. The shell transforms into a complex structure composed of eighteen irregular pentagons, each bearing a shifting symbol representing one of the eighteen types. Additional solid light-blue pentagons appear along the shell's rim. Its former earrings and ponytail are no longer distinct, having merged into the structure of its head.

[[File:Terastal Terapagos using Water Pulse.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Terastal Form Terapagos using {{m|Water Pulse}}]]
Normal Form Terapagos {{a|Tera Shift|can absorb the energy around itself}} when it is either in danger or about to {{pkmn|battle}}, thus transforming into its Terastal Form. Its shell is composed of crystallized Terastal energy and holds the power of every type, allowing it to {{a|Tera Shell|distort type matchups}} and render [[move]]s as not very effective.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/terapagos_terastal_form/ Terastal Form Terapagos | Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet]</ref> Its shell then absorbs the move's energy and transfers it back to Terapagos. When using certain [[special move]]s, Terapagos withdraws its hands and head into its shell, shapes its mane in a way it resembles its three tails, and flies up to fire the move from the gem in the center of its shell. As seen in [[HZ064|''The Approaching Shadow!'']], due to being opposites, in this form, Terapagos can purify [[Laquium]] by absorbing its mist and destroying the crystal itself, which reverts its effects on Pokémon as a result. As shown in ''[[HZ082|Beyond the Shining Rainbow]]'', it is capable of sharing its Terastal energy in the form of an orb with other Pokémon, allowing them to Terastallize, but this forces Terapagos back to its Normal Form. In this form, it is known as "the Indigo Disk" due to its indigo coloration and disk-shaped shell.

Terastal Form Terapagos is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Tera Shell}} as an [[Ability]].
{{left clear}}

====Stellar Form====
[[File:Stellar Terapagos using Meteor Beam.png|thumb|left|200px|Stellar Form Terapagos while using {{m|Meteor Beam}}]]
Stellar Form Terapagos is enveloped in a radiant, rainbow-colored aura and floats above a massive indigo crystal dome patterned with overlapping hexagons. Beneath the dome are four crystal formations arranged like turtle legs. The central shell gem expands into an ornate, crown-like structure studded with multicolored rhombuses, topped by a miniature replica of Normal Form Terapagos and the Terastal symbol. Eighteen hexagonal gems, each displaying a type icon and color, orbit the dome continuously. All shell icons shift to cyan coloration in this form.

When exposed to a [[Tera Orb]], Terapagos will {{Tera}}stallize and become {{type|Stellar}}, thus morphing into its Stellar Form.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/terapagos_stellar_form/ Stellar Form Terapagos | Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet]</ref> However, in {{aniseries|HZ}}, it has been shown to be able to transform without the need of a Tera Orb. This form is said to resemble the world as the ancients saw it, supposedly due to the dome beneath it. Meanwhile, in the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}}, [[Heath]] describes it as an entity, unsure if it is a Pokémon or even a living being, though he claims that viewed as a whole, it resembles a mysterious, brilliant disk, and even looks like a planet floating in space. Its Terastal energy becomes so abnormally amplified that it actually appears to lose control and lash out due to its energy output. Due to having so much power, Stellar Form Terapagos may cause cracks around it during its transformation and even risks wreaking havoc to [[Paldea]]'s ecosystem. While in this form, it was shown to resist being {{pkmn2|caught}} by a [[Master Ball]], destroying it in the process. Stellar Form Terapagos is capable of absorbing [[Terastal energy]] from other Terastallized Pokémon, reverting them back to normal; however, it is unable to repeatedly do this. It can also create Tera Shields around itself which can only be broken by Terastallized Pokémon. It can even use the power of the Terastal phenomenon to change its type mid-battle. The hidden powers within Stellar Form Terapagos are capable of {{a|Teraform Zero|reducing to zero}} all effects of [[weather]] and [[terrain]]. It has shown to be capable of shooting huge beams of pure Terastal energy at its foes. When using certain [[special move]]s, Terapagos will use all of its hexagonal gems in a certain formation to fire the move from it. As revealed by [[Briar]] in [[HZ119]], Terapagos is capable of resonating with other Pokémon, specifically with their {{Tera|Tera Type}}s, which grants it more power. Resonating with 18 Pokémon, each possessing one of the 18 known Tera Types allows Terapagos to use its full power. This, however, will drain away its power, forcing it into hibernation. As revealed in [[HZ125]], Terapagos is capable of Terastalizing up to five Pokémon at the same time in this form. In this form, it is referred to as a "Disk Pokémon" because of its disk-shaped shell, as well as "the Hidden Treasure of Area Zero" due to its status as the secret treasure that was sought by the Paldean empire.

Stellar Form Terapagos is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Teraform Zero}} as an [[Ability]].

===Side game data===

===Form data===
Outside of {{pkmn|battle}}, Terapagos is always in its Normal Form. When it enters a battle for the first time, it changes from its Normal Form into its Terastal Form through its [[signature Ability]] {{a|Tera Shift}} and will never change back to Normal Form until the battle ends, even if it [[faint]]s. As a result, its Normal Form cannot legitimately be used in a battle. Terastal Form Terapagos also has Tera Shift replaced by its other signature Ability {{a|Tera Shell}}. If Terapagos {{Tera}}stallizes during a battle, it transforms into its Stellar Form, adding its third signature Ability, {{a|Teraform Zero}}. Its [[signature move]] {{m|Tera Starstorm}} also changes from {{t|Normal}}- to {{type|Stellar}} and targets both opponents in a [[Double Battle]].

Since the other two forms have higher base HP stats, Terapagos's maximum HP will increase and its current HP will be revised to its new maximum HP minus the amount of HP it had lost before changing form.

Terapagos has a unique form change animation when changing from its Normal Form to its Terastal Form that shows it glowing and rising into the air before its form changes.

Terapagos's {{Tera|Tera Type}} is always {{t|Stellar}} and cannot be changed at the [[Treasure Eatery]].

====Major appearances====
=====[[Pagogo]]=====
Terapagos in its dormant state debuted in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]'', being used by [[Liko]] as a pendant before being properly revealed in its Normal Form in [[HZ002|the following episode]], right before returning to its dormant state. In ''[[HZ023|Fiery Galarian Moltres]]'', it awakened permanently and started traveling with the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]. It was later revealed to be over 100 years old and that it once travelled alongside its {{pkmn|Trainer}}, [[Rystal]], and her friends, [[Lucius]] and [[Gibeon]]. Terapagos's Terastal Form briefly appeared in ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]'' as a sketch in Lucius's diary before properly appearing in ''[[HZ033|Roar of the Black Rayquaza]]'' so it could face the [[Black Rayquaza]] and save its friends. In ''[[HZ075|The Wonders of the World!]]'', it was officially {{pkmn2|caught}} by Liko, who adopted the [[nickname]] '''Pagogo''' (Japanese: '''パゴゴ''' ''Pagogo'') used by Rystal. In the same episode, Terapagos's Stellar Form appeared in a flashback before properly appearing in ''[[HZ088|The Earthshaking White Zygarde]]'' to purify [[Laqua]]'s [[Laquium]] alongside the [[Six Heroes]].

====Minor appearances====
In ''[[HZ071|Encounters at the Crystal Pool]]'', a Normal Form Terapagos was shown in a flashback narrated by [[Briar]], where she recounted her ancestor [[Heath]]'s first encounter with the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in [[Area Zero]].

==Trivia==
[[File:Disc Pokémon.png|200px|thumb|A sketch of Stellar Form Terapagos in the Scarlet/Violet Book]]
* Before the official reveal of Terapagos, a sketch of its Stellar Form appeared in the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}}, drawn by [[Heath]] in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.
* Terapagos is the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} whose [[base stat]] total changes upon {{Tera}}stallizing.
* Terapagos has several similarities to {{p|Eternatus}}. Both are [[Legendary Pokémon]] that are responsible for the special type of transformation found within their [[region]]s of origin ([[Dynamax]]/[[Gigantamax]] for [[Galar]] and {{Tera}}stallization for [[Paldea]], respectively) and have entered a state of dormancy sometime in the distant past. Both of them were also introduced in a game which would receive [[Downloadable content|DLC]] and whose [[game mascot]]s comprise a [[Legendary duo]].
** They also share similar traits regarding their [[form]]s, as both have an exclusive form that increase their [[base stats]] ([[Eternamax]] and Stellar Form) and can absorb the energy related to the phenomena ([[Galar particles]] and [[Terastal energy]]) from other Pokémon, therefore rendering them unavailable, as well as a form that cannot be used by the {{player}}, but have programmed stats (Eternamax and Normal Form).
** In {{aniseries|HZ}}, Stellar Form Terapagos is animated with 3D animation rather than 2D, making it the second Pokémon in the {{pkmn|animated series}} to use 3D animation, with the first being Eternatus in {{aniseries|JN}}.
* Normal Form Terapagos is tied with {{p|Azurill}} and {{p|Shroodle}} for being the [[List of Pokémon by height|shortest]] {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.
* Terapagos is the only Pokémon to have three [[Signature Ability|signature Abilities]], the most out of any Pokémon.
* Terapagos is the only Pokémon with an EV yield total of more than three, with its Terastal Form having a total of four.
** Terapagos is also the only Pokémon with a different [[EV]] yield total between each of its forms, with Normal having one, Terastal having four, and Stellar having three.
* While Terapagos as a species has a [[List of Pokémon by gender ratio|50-50 gender ratio]], the only Terapagos encounter in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet is set to always be male. Because of this, a female Terapagos cannot currently be legitimately obtained.
* Terapagos is the only Pokémon in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet that is able to learn [[move]]s through [[TM]]s, but not {{m|Tera Blast}}.
* Terapagos's [[cry]] is almost identical to the sound that is made when a Pokémon Terastallizes.
** The cry also incorporates the leitmotif commonly associated in-game with [[Area Zero]], Terapagos's habitat. It is more easily distinguished when the cry is played at slower speed.
* One of Stellar Form Terapagos's attack animations has it use the 18 hexagonal gems orbiting its dome to form a symbol and shoot the attack from it. This symbol is the same one featured in [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]]'s logo.

* During an {{DL|Let's Go!|Auto Battle}}, Terapagos will transform into its Terastal Form before defeating a [[wild Pokémon]], and then switch back to its Normal Form.
* Despite being the source of the Terastal phenomenon, which contains the power of every [[type]], Terapagos cannot learn any {{t|Ghost}}- or {{type|Flying}} moves, nor can it learn {{m|Tera Blast}}.
* In the closed captions of the initial [[TV Tokyo]] broadcast of [[HZ023]], Terapagos was mistakenly referred to as コダイカメ ''Kodaikame'' (from 古代亀 ''kodaikame'', literally "ancient turtle").<ref>[https://twitter.com/DogasusBackpack/status/1705193807460098511 The closed captions for tonight’s #anipoke episode confirm that the Pokémon inside Liko’s pendant is named Kodaikame (コダイカメ). - @DogasusBackpack on Twitter]</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/anipoke_PR/status/1705215549121396945 本日のアニメ『ポケットモンスター』字幕放送にて、ポケモン・テラパゴスの名称を、正式ではない表記をしておりました。正式な表記は「テラパゴス」です。 - @anipoke_PR on Twitter]</ref>
** This mirrors its internal name from Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, where Terapagos is also referred to as "kodaikame".
* Terapagos cannot have its {{Tera|Tera Type}} be changed under normal circumstances in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. If [[Cheating|the game is modified]] to force Terapagos to have a different Tera Type, the game will lag significantly while Terastallizing; however, unlike with {{p|Ogerpon}}, the game will not {{DL|Game freeze|Softlocking|softlock}}. {{a|Illusion}} will also not work if either Terapagos or the Pokémon with the [[Ability]] Terastallizes.

===Origin===
Terapagos may be based on a {{wp|sea turtle}}, specifically the {{wp|Green sea turtle#Galápagos green turtle|Galápagos green turtle}}, a population of green sea turtles found around the {{wp|Galápagos Islands}}. It, especially in its Normal Form, may also be based on the {{wp|Galápagos tortoise}}; in particular, it may be inspired by {{wp|Lonesome George}}, the last {{wp|Pinta Island tortoise}} (a subspecies of Galápagos tortoise), as Terapagos is said to be extinct aside from a lone male survivor.

Terapagos may be inspired by the rainbow-shelled turtle from the Japanese folktale about a fisherman named {{wp|Urashima Tarō}}. In the story, this turtle carries Tarō to the Dragon Palace beneath the sea, a detail that may be reflected by the concept of the mostly underwater [[Blueberry Academy]] (the main setting of [[The Indigo Disk]], in which Terapagos was introduced). Additionally, the story ends with the fisherman aging rapidly into an old man with long white hair, similar to how Terapagos changes form when it enters battle.

The Terastal Form's hairy appearance may be a reference to Japanese legends of the ''{{wp|Cultural depictions of turtles#Japan|minogame}}'', a turtle which lived for 10,000 years and grew a tail made of {{wp|seaweed}}. Terapagos, especially in its Stellar Form, may also reference the {{wp|World Turtle}}, a mythical turtle found in various mythologies that was said to carry the world upon its back. This connection is furthered by the Stellar Form's [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]], which state that it resembles "the world as the ancients saw it" and "a planet floating in space". By extension, Terapagos's Stellar Form may be a reference to the expression "{{wp|turtles all the way down}}", as it has a crystal in the shape of its Normal Form above its shell, and it floats on top of a larger dome shaped like a tortoise shell. The expression "turtles all the way down" refers to the idea that the World Turtle rests on the back of a larger turtle, and that turtle rests on the back of an even larger turtle, and so on.

The tessellation on Terapagos's shell contains type icons and could be based on the unique pattern on the back of the {{wp|diamondback terrapin}}. Terapagos's crystalline composition may also take inspiration from {{wp|chitons}}, marine mollusks with flat disk-shaped bodies and eye-like peripherals composed of rock.

====Name origin====
Terapagos may be a combination of ''{{Tera}}stal'', ''{{wp|terrapin}}'', and ''galápagos'' (a Spanish word for turtles, most recognizable because of the {{wp|Galápagos Islands}}).

List of Pokémon with gender differences

2026-03-29T13:22:30Z

[[File:Pyroar gender difference anime.png|thumb|300px|{{p|Pyroar}}'s gender difference in {{aniseries|XY}}; male (left) and female (right)]]
[[File:Pikachu gender difference anime.png|thumb|300px|{{p|Pikachu}}'s gender difference in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''; female (left) and male (right)]]
Although most {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} look identical regardless of [[gender]], some species have '''differences in appearance due to gender''', with noticeable differences between the males and females. Gender differences were introduced in [[Generation IV]].

These differences are a reference to {{wp|sexual dimorphism}}, which is commonly seen in many real organisms and may offer some clues to their biology and behavior.

Generation IV, in addition to introducing new Pokémon with gender differences, also modified several older Pokémon to have gender differences. In most cases, the male version retained the original design while the female was altered. However, the inverse is true for {{p|Dodrio}}, {{p|Meganium}}, {{p|Xatu}}, {{p|Aipom}}, {{p|Torchic}}, {{p|Beautifly}}, {{p|Ludicolo}}, {{p|Meditite}}, {{p|Medicham}}, and {{p|Milotic}}. These Pokémon, as well as {{p|Bidoof}}, {{p|Bibarel}}, {{p|Combee}}, {{p|Ambipom}}, {{p|Gible}}, {{p|Gabite}}, and {{p|Garchomp}}, use their female designs for their official artwork, while other Pokémon with gender differences introduced in the first four [[generation]]s use the male designs. (This cannot be determined for {{p|Buizel}} and {{p|Floatzel}}, as their backs are not shown in their official artwork, though Buizel debuted featuring its male design in the [[M09|ninth movie]].)

Later generations would introduce far fewer Pokémon with gender differences, but those that were introduced differ much more drastically in appearance and have separate official artwork and menu sprites for each gender. Starting in [[Generation VI]], some Pokémon even have different {{Abilities}}, [[base stats]], and/or [[move]]s they can learn depending on their gender. These gender differences are usually considered to be entirely separate [[form]]s.

Starting in Generation IV, certain Pokémon's [[Evolution]] is also [[Gender-based Evolution|affected by their gender]]. {{p|Burmy}} evolves into {{p|Wormadam}} if it is female or {{p|Mothim}} if it is male. Only female {{p|Combee}} and {{p|Salandit}} can evolve into {{p|Vespiquen}} and {{p|Salazzle}}, respectively, with the males unable to evolve at all. Only male {{p|Kirlia}} can evolve into {{p|Gallade}}, though either gender can evolve into {{p|Gardevoir}}; similarly, only female {{p|Snorunt}} can evolve into {{p|Froslass}}, though either gender can evolve into {{p|Glalie}}. However, Combee is the only one of these Pokémon to have a visual gender difference.

As of [[Generation IX]], there are a total of 102 Pokémon with gender differences.

==List of Pokémon==
===Generation I===
There are 23 [[Generation I]] Pokémon with gender differences, 22 debuting in [[Generation IV]] and 1 debuting in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]

==In the Pokédex==
Gender differences can be viewed in the Pokédex as [[form]]s. In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, in the [[gate]] to [[Canalave City]], [[Professor Rowan]]'s [[Professor's assistant|assistant]] upgrades the {{player}}'s [[Pokédex]] to be able to display form differences, including gender differences. In other games, they can be viewed from the start. As with other form differences, the player can register a gender difference in their Pokédex by obtaining it, or by seeing it in {{pkmn|battle}} having obtained any form of the Pokémon.

From [[Generation IV]] to [[Generation VI]], the Pokédex has a "forms" section in which both the male and female of the Pokémon are shown (for Pokémon that can be either gender), even if there is no gender difference, with "Male" and "Female" displayed as the form names. Starting in [[Generation VII]], only Pokémon with gender differences have them shown as separate forms in the Pokédex; the gender currently shown is indicated by a male or female gender symbol being shown in the entry, with Pokémon that do not have gender differences (and can be either gender) having both symbols displayed. Most gender differences are not given form names, with the exception of Pokémon that have functional differences between genders ({{p|Meowstic}}, {{p|Indeedee}}, {{p|Basculegion}}, and {{p|Oinkologne}}), which use "Male" and "Female" as form names. This is also the case for the Pokédex in [[Pokémon Bank]] and the [[Nintendo Switch]] version of [[Pokémon HOME]]. However, [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]]'s Pokédex does not feature this distinction, with all Pokémon that have gender differences using the "Male" and "Female" form names.

In the mobile version of Pokémon HOME, most gender differences cannot be scrolled through like other forms; instead, all Pokémon that are not [[gender unknown]] have male and/or female symbols on their entries showing which genders they can have, and the player can tap these symbols to view any gender differences the Pokémon has. The exceptions are again Meowstic, Indeedee, Basculegion, and Oinkologne, whose gender differences are treated as entirely separate forms that can be scrolled through like other forms. In addition to these Pokémon, the app's Pokémon Guidebook feature also treats the gender differences of {{p|Unfezant}}, {{p|Frillish}}, {{p|Jellicent}}, and {{p|Pyroar}} as entirely separate forms, though their forms are not given names (whereas Meowstic, Indeedee, Basculegion, and Oinkologne use the "Male" and "Female" form names). Certain other official sources (such as websites and guidebooks) consider all of these Pokémon's gender differences as separate forms and use the "Male" and "Female" form names for them.

In the Pokémon HOME Pokédex, when viewing the entries for {{p|Quagsire}}, {{p|Torchic}}, {{p|Bidoof}}, {{p|Buizel}}, and {{p|Floatzel}}, the player can "rotate" the Pokémon by pressing the right stick (in the Nintendo Switch version) or tapping a rotation icon (in the mobile version), which changes the Pokémon's render to one with its back turned so that its gender difference can be seen more easily (in Bidoof's case) or at all (in the other cases).

Most Pokémon use the same [[Pokédex entry]] for both genders. Starting in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], certain Pokémon have different entries for each gender, namely Meowstic, Indeedee, and Oinkologne. Basculegion uses the same entry for both genders in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], but has different entries for each gender in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]. Additionally, in the data for Pokémon Sword and Shield, female Unfezant has an unused Pokédex entry for Pokémon Sword, female Frillish has an unused entry for Pokémon Shield, and female Jellicent has unused entries for both versions, but in the final game, these Pokémon use the same Pokédex entries for both genders.

==Trivia==
* {{p|Nidoran♀}} and {{p|Nidoran♂}} are gendered counterparts in a similar vein to gender differences, but they are considered two separate species. They were introduced in [[Generation I]], prior to the introduction of [[gender]] as a mechanic in [[Generation II]] and of gender differences in [[Generation IV]]. Notably, {{pkmn|Egg}}s produced by Nidoran♀ or Nidoran♂ can hatch into either Pokémon. A similar male-female gendered counterpart pair is {{p|Volbeat}} and {{p|Illumise}}, who also can produce Eggs containing each other.
** The male-female pairs {{p|Tauros}} and {{p|Miltank}}, as well as {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}}, can also be considered gendered counterparts, though they cannot produce Eggs containing each other.
* Some Pokémon with gender differences have unique distinctions:
** {{p|Garchomp}} is the only [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] to have a gender difference.
** {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Sneasel}} is the only [[regional form]] of a Pokémon to have a gender difference.
** The {{p|Torchic}} evolutionary line is the only [[first partner Pokémon]] line where all of its members have gender differences.
** {{p|Politoed}} is the only Pokémon with gender differences from a [[List of Pokémon with branched Evolutions|branched Evolution line]] that evolves from a Pokémon without gender differences.
* {{t|Fairy}} is the only [[type]] that lacks a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with gender differences.
* [[Generation IV]] introduced the most Pokémon with gender differences, with a total of 31.
** It was also the first [[generation]] to introduce [[:Category:Pokémon that evolve based on gender|gender-based Evolution]], and the first to introduce new gender differences to Pokémon established in previous generations.
* [[Generation IX]] introduced the fewest Pokémon with gender differences of generations that introduced Pokémon with gender differences, introducing only one.
[[File:Krookodile HZ037.png|thumb|250px|The Krookodile from ''[[HZ037|Fuecoco…Becomes a Crook?!]]'']]
* [[Generation VII]] is the only generation that did not introduce any new Pokémon that have gender differences. However, it did introduce a new gender difference for {{p|Eevee}} that was initially exclusive to the player's {{OBP|partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|partner}} Eevee.
* No [[Mega Evolution]]s or [[Gigantamax]] forms have gender differences, even if other forms of the same species do.
* Despite having prominent gender differences, {{p|Hippopotas}} and {{p|Hippowdon}} only have artwork and a menu sprite for the male of the species.
** No female Hippowdon have ever appeared in the {{pkmn|animated series}}.
* Despite {{p|Spinda}} not having any gender differences, the [[Rotom Pokédex]] displays separate models for male and female Spinda, using whichever spot pattern the player caught first for each gender.
* Some Pokémon with gender differences evolve into Pokémon that do not have gender differences, namely {{p|Pikachu}} evolving into {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Raichu}}, {{p|Golbat}} evolving into {{p|Crobat}}, {{p|Gloom}} evolving into {{p|Bellossom}}, {{p|Scyther}} evolving into {{p|Kleavor}}, {{p|Eevee}} evolving into the [[Eeveelution]]s, {{p|Murkrow}} evolving into {{p|Honchkrow}}, {{p|Girafarig}} evolving into {{p|Farigiraf}}, {{p|Gligar}} evolving into {{p|Gliscor}}, {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Sneasel}} evolving into {{p|Sneasler}}, and {{p|Ursaring}} evolving into {{p|Ursaluna}}.
* Although {{p|Krookodile}} has no gender differences in the games, in ''[[HZ037|Fuecoco…Becomes a Crook?!]]'', a Krookodile who plays the role of "mother" in a litter of {{p|Sandile}} and {{p|Krokorok}} has pink eyelashes.

'''Unfezant''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ケンホロウ''' ''Kenhallow'') is a {{2t|Normal|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Tranquill}} starting at [[level]] 32. It is the final form of {{p|Pidove}}.

==Biology==
Unfezant is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling a game bird. It is primarily dark gray with lighter gray markings. The light gray markings consist of a heart-shaped patch covering its face and throat, two patches divided by a lacy line on its wings, and intricate stripes with dark rimming on its tail feather. Its beak and eyes are yellow, and it has light gray legs with three clawed toes and a spur on the ankle.

The male Unfezant has a reddish-pink {{wp|wattle (anatomy)|wattle}} around its eyes. Long, ribbon-like growths from the wattle extend over its head and down past its shoulders. By swinging its head, the male threatens its opponents. The male also has a mint green underside with speckling towards the chest. The males are known to fly faster than the females. In contrast, the female lacks a wattle and has brown markings on its underside. It is also more adept at flying than the males due to its stamina. However, the females take a longer time to adjust to people.

Unfezant are known to be immensely proud and intelligent. It prefers to not feel close to anyone other than its {{pkmn|Trainer}}.

===Evolution===
Unfezant evolves from {{p|Tranquill}} and is the final form of {{p|Pidove}}.

====Other====
A male Unfezant made its animated series debut in ''[[BW067|Cilan Takes Flight!]]'', under the ownership of [[Skyla]]. He was used in a battle against {{an|Cilan}} and lost to {{TP|Cilan|Crustle}}. He was then used during Ash's Gym battle with Skyla in ''[[BW068|An Amazing Aerial Battle!]]'', during which he briefly battled {{AP|Tranquill}} before falling to {{AP|Pikachu}}.

In ''[[XY130|Finals Not for the Faint-Hearted!]]'', [[Alain]] used a male Unfezant during the final round of the [[Lumiose Conference]]. He had an aerial battle against [[Ash's Talonflame]], which ended in a tie.

==In the TCG==

==Trivia==
===Origin===
Unfezant is based on a {{wp|pheasant}},<ref>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 201, January 2011 ([http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-3/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref> possibly the {{wp|green pheasant}} — the {{wp|national bird}} of {{wp|Japan}} — in particular. It may also incorporate aspects of other {{wp|Galliformes|gamebird}}s, such as {{wp|turkey (bird)|turkey}}s or the ''{{wp|Tragopan}}'', as well as {{wp|Columbiformes|doves and pigeons}}, which its pre-evolutions are based on. Its body shape vaguely resembles that of a {{wp|greater roadrunner}}, while the male's head plumage may be inspired by the {{wp|King of Saxony bird-of-paradise}}.

Unfezant's gender differences appears to reflect {{wp|sexual dimorphism}} in real-life birds in that the males have large head plumage and are more colorful than the females.

====Name origin====
Unfezant may be a combination of corruptions of ''unpleasant'' and ''{{wp|pheasant}}''. It may also involve ''unfazed''.

Kenhallow may derive from ケンホロロ ''kenhororo'' (onomatopoeia of pheasant cries) and けんもほろろ ''ken-mo-hororo'' (curt or brusque).

'''Chi-Yu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イーユイ''' ''Yiyui'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Fire}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IX]].

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

Along with {{p|Wo-Chien}}, {{p|Chien-Pao}}, and {{p|Ting-Lu}}, Chi-Yu is a member of the [[treasures of ruin]].

==Biology==
[[File:Chi-YuexPaldeaEvolved40.jpg|thumb|left|140px|Chi-Yu's eyes and beads glowing]]
Chi-Yu is a fish-like Pokémon. It is composed of two pairs of curved jade beads, once believed to be sacred and commonly worn for religious rituals. Each of these pairs of beads circle a black orb coated by white around the sides; together, they make up the eyes of Chi-Yu, while the rest of its fish-shaped body is formed by a dark red and yellow flame. Its eyes and beads sometimes glow red and yellow when it attacks.

Like the other treasures of ruin, Chi-Yu's true form is the beads forming its eyes, having been given life by the envy of those who desired them enough to start wars over them — while its body is a form it has constructed using its control over fire. Chi-Yu's flames burn at over 5,400 degrees Fahrenheit (3,000 degrees Celsius), allowing it to melt rock and sand into lava that it can swim through. It is known as the "Beads of Ruin".

Chi-Yu and the other treasures of ruin are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Ruination}}. Chi-Yu is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Beads of Ruin}} as an [[Ability]].{{-}}

==In animation==
===Main series===
====Major appearances====
====Minor appearances====

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
Chi-Yu, along with the other [[treasures of ruin]], appeared in a fantasy in [[PASV13]].

==In the TCG==
{{main|Chi-Yu (TCG)}}

==Trivia==
* Chi-Yu and the other [[treasures of ruin]] are the first Pokémon whose [[base stats]] were adjusted via a {{DL|Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Version history|patch}} to the game.
* Chi-Yu is significantly lighter than the other three treasures of ruin, likely due to its body being mostly made out of fire, which has no weight.
* Chi-Yu is the only {{type|Fire}} {{DL|List of Pokémon by shape|Pokémon with fins}}.
* When washing Chi-Yu in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, the {{player}} washes it from the side instead of washing it facing its front.

===Origin===
Chi-Yu may be modeled after members of the ''{{wp|Cyprinidae}}'' family, specifically the {{wp|goldfish}}. The beads around its eyes make it particularly similar to the {{wp|Telescope (goldfish)|telescope eye}} and {{wp|celestial eye}} breeds. The curved beads by its eyes are based on the ''{{wp|magatama}}'', comma-shaped beads made of jade that served as ceremonial and religious objects. The coloration and location of the beads, together with Chi-Yu being born from envy, may invoke the idea of the "[[wiktionary:green-eyed monster|green-eyed monster]]", a phrase coined in {{wp|William Shakespeare}}'s ''{{wp|Othello}}'' to refer to jealousy.

Chi-Yu and the other treasures of ruin may be based on the {{wp|Four Perils}} of Chinese mythology. Specifically, Chi-Yu may be based on 混沌 ''{{wp|Hundun|Hùndùn}}'', an embodiment of chaos depicted as an oval creature with only limbs and no face — akin to Chi-Yu's body without its beads — and said to be "scarlet like cinnabar fire" in the {{wp|Classic of Mountains and Seas}}. It is also described as living in a permanent state of confusion, similar to the stereotypical image of a goldfish. Another inspiration may be {{wp|Gun (Chinese mythology)|Gun}}, whose name literally means "big fish" and who was compared to one of the Four Perils in the {{wp|Book of Documents}}.

====Name origin====
Chi-Yu may be a combination of 鯽魚 / 鲫鱼 ''jìyú'' (Chinese for {{wp|Carassius|crucian carp}}, from which goldfish are domesticated) and 玉 ''yù'' (Chinese for jade). The name is formatted in {{wp|Wade–Giles}}, a romanization system used in the Anglosphere for most of the 20th century.

Yiyui may be a combination of 魚 / 鱼 ''yú'' (Chinese for fish) and 玉 ''yù'' (Chinese for jade). Both ⟨i⟩ and ⟨ui⟩ are common approximates of the {{wp|close front rounded vowel}} (usually rendered as ⟨-ü-⟩ or ⟨yu-⟩ in {{wp|pinyin}}; pronounced like an English ⟨ee⟩ sound but with rounded lips as if to make an ⟨oo⟩ sound, similar to the letter ⟨u⟩ in French and ⟨ü⟩ in German) in languages where the vowel is not present.

'''Anistar City''' (Japanese: '''ヒャッコクシティ''' ''Hyakkoku City'') is a city located in the [[Kalos]] [[region]].

==Slogan==
'''''The starry city marking the hours.''''' (Japanese: '''{{j|星巡る　時告げの　街}}''' ''The starry timekeeping city.'')

==Places of interest==
===Anistar Gym===
{{main|Anistar Gym}}
The Anistar Gym is the official [[Gym]] of Anistar City, whose Gym Leader is [[Olympia]] and specializes in {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon.

===Café===
In the northern part of town is a café the {{player}} pays to enter. Daily, patrons inside will show off a Pokémon that is indexed by the [[Pokédex]] if previously unseen. More Pokémon may be seen depending on where the player chooses to sit, including [[Legendary Pokémon]]. If the player has seen every Pokémon available inside the Café, the waiter will comment and ask if they are sure about paying to come in. If the player decides not to enter, the waiter will tell the player that he will make the Café into something they will love by their next visit. Similar cafés can be found in [[Cyllage City]] and [[Laverre City]].

===Hidden Power Checker===
After providing the player {{TM|10|Hidden Power}}, a man in the house next to the boutique will tell the player what type Hidden Power will act as for any Pokémon he is shown, provided that it can learn the move by TM.

===Sundial===
The Sundial to the north of the city is used in the post-game to upgrade the [[Mega Ring]]. This also allows the player to find the [[Mega Stone]]s hidden throughout [[Kalos]].

Every day, when the game time reaches 8 PM, the rings of the sundial start to spin one by one as the sun shines through the hole in the crystal. Falling sparkles from the sky also make it look like it's snowing both around the sundial and in the town itself. The sparkles stop after ten minutes, and the rings themselves stop spinning one by one just after 9 p.m.

In the post-game, after the player defeats {{ga|Serena}} or {{ga|Calem}} at [[Kiloude City]], the player learns that [[Professor Sycamore]] is waiting at the sundial with information on the Mega Ring (he will not appear until the rival is defeated). At the sundial, Professor Sycamore tells the player that he has discovered a way to level up the Mega Ring. He tells the player to touch the sundial with the Mega Ring; after doing so, he reveals that the Mega Ring will now resonate with Mega Stones that are underground. He explains that those Mega Stones can only be found while the sundial is active between 8 and 9 PM; it will not work at any other time.

===Old man's house===
In the house two spots north of the boutique, an old man can be found depressed because of the death of his wife. He will ask the player to lend him any Pokémon level 5 or under to keep him company for the time being. After leaving behind a Pokémon then entering the [[Hall of Fame]], the player can return to the house only to find that the old man has passed away and left behind a Poké Ball containing the Pokémon lent to him, a letter thanking the player for their helping him in his last moments, and a [[Comet Shard]]. In addition, the returned Pokémon will have max number of Affection hearts in [[Pokémon-Amie]] (unless Pokémon-Amie has never been used). However, if the player has a full team, they cannot take the Pokémon back until an open spot is made.

===Memory Girl===
{{main|Memory Girl}}
Next to the entrance of the Pokémon Center is the Memory Girl, a girl who can read the memories of experiences a Pokémon had with its [[Original Trainer]] (and its most recent owner if it was traded), as well as how the Pokémon felt about the experience. These memories range from meeting the Trainer for the first time, defeating wild Pokémon or Gym Leaders, using HMs outside of battle, exploring various locations, evolving, etc. A Pokémon's memory may change over time as it has new experiences with its Trainer.

===Photo Spot===
A [[Photo Spot]] can be found to the right of the sundial, where the player can get their picture taken by [[Phil the Photo Guy]] in front of the sundial.

[[File:Anistar City anime.png|thumb|250px|Anistar City in {{aniseries|XY}}]]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|XY}}====
In the {{pkmn|animated series}}, Anistar City was first shown in ''[[XY075|Rivals: Today and Tomorrow!]]'' on {{an|Serena}}'s [[Town Map]]. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrived there in ''[[XY090|Tag Team Battle Inspiration!]]'' along with {{an|Shauna}} and {{an|Tierno}}.

A [[Pokémon Showcase]] Rookie Class was held in Anistar City in ''[[XY091|A Performance Pop Quiz!]]''. Serena entered the competition together with Shauna, [[Jessie]], and [[Nini]]. During the first round, which had a quiz about {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} as its theme, Serena was placed in the same group as Nini and {{kal|Lily}}. She was the first Performer in her group to answer three questions correctly and, as a result, was granted a place in the Freestyle Performance. Shauna and Jessie also managed to give the correct answers to [[Monsieur Pierre|Pierre]]'s questions, thus advancing to the second round as well.

In the Freestyle Performance, Serena delivered a performance along with her {{TP|Serena|Braixen}} and {{TP|Serena|Pancham}}, Shauna performed with her {{TP|Shauna|Ivysaur}} and {{p|Flabébé}}, and Jessie used her {{TP|Jessie|Gourgeist}} to try and dazzle the crowd. At the conclusion of the round, the audience members used their Glow Casters to vote on the performance they enjoyed the most. After the voting was over, it was revealed that Serena was the {{pkmn|Performer}} who received the highest number of votes, thus winning the Anistar Showcase and earning her second {{DL|Pokémon Showcase|Princess Key}}.

In ''[[XY092|Cloudy Fate, Bright Future!]]'', Ash and his friends met up with [[Professor Sycamore]] again, who was researching the Anistar Sundial in relation to [[Mega Evolution]]. They were attacked by one of Olympia's apprentices, {{OBP|Carrie|XY092}}, who had misinterpreted one of Olympia's visions that featured them all. After the misunderstanding had been cleared, Ash and his friends, followed Olympia to the [[Anistar Gym]], where she told the group about her visions about a future crisis for [[Kalos]] and a [[Bond Phenomenon|unique power]] for [[Ash's Frogadier]]. In [[XY093|the next episode]], Ash had his Gym battle with Olympia and won, earning himself the {{badge|Psychic}}. Afterwards the group left Anistar City.

Anistar City was seen again in ''[[XY118|Championing a Research Battle!]]'', where Olympia informed [[Diantha]] about the upcoming threat to Kalos.

In ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'' and ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', the [[Giant Rock]], controlled by [[Lysandre]], was heading from [[Lysandre Labs]] to Anistar City. Ash and his friends followed the Giant Rock to prevent it from having contact with the Sundial, which would cause the whole {{pkmn|world}} to be wiped out if they merged. However, Ash and friends along with all the Kalos [[Gym Leader]]s helped stop Lysandre along with Zygarde Complete Forme, which in turn destroyed the Giant Rock, protecting the Sundial, which saved also the entire Kalos region as well.

The Anistar City sundial first appeared in ''[[PS568|Connecting with Gardevoir]]'' in [[Korrina]]'s flashback to when she searched for the [[Mega Stone]] for her {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}}.

The city itself debuted in ''[[PS584|Hawlucha Attacks]]'' when {{adv|X}} and his friends traveled there under the request of [[Professor Sycamore]]. Upon arriving, they saved Sycamore from a swarm of {{p|Hawlucha}} sent to attack him by [[Emma|Essentia]], after which he used the sundial to power up X and {{adv|Y}}'s [[Mega Ring]]s, allowing them to search for Mega Stones anywhere between 8 PM to 9 PM.

In ''[[PS585|Pinsir Changes]]'', [[Xerxer|Y's Xerneas]] was stolen by Essentia, forcing X and Y to battle her in order to take it back, while {{adv|Shauna}} and {{adv|Tierno}} left to search for Mega Stones for X's {{p|Pinsir}} and Y's {{p|Absol}}. Once they returned, X and Y [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] their Pokémon to fight Essentia and Xerneas. [[PS586|Soon afterwards]], {{adv|Zygarde}} arrived and interrupted the battle, but was {{pkmn2|caught|captured}} by Essentia shortly after it attacked. Though Essentia escaped with Zygarde, Xerneas was returned to Y's control.

==Trivia==
* Anistar City has similarities with [[Mossdeep City]] in [[Hoenn]]. Both are where the seventh Gyms of their regions are located, both have Gym Leaders who specialize in Psychic-types and give [[TM04]] ({{m|Calm Mind}}) when defeated, and both have a connection with outer space.

===Origin===
{{main|Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Kalos|Pokémon world in relation to the real world → Kalos}}
Anistar City may correspond to the city of {{wp|Strasbourg}}, the largest city in the {{wp|Grand Est}} region of France and the {{wp|Seat of the European Parliament in Strasbourg|official seat}} of the {{wp|European Parliament}}.

The sundial in the city may take its inspiration from the {{wp|Strasbourg astronomical clock|astronomical clock}} in the {{wp|Strasbourg Cathedral}}.

Parfum Palace

The '''Parfum Palace''' (Japanese: '''パルファム{{ruby|宮殿|きゅうでん}}''' ''Parfum Palace'') is a palace in [[Kalos]] located at the north end of {{rt|6|Kalos}}.

The palace was built by the king of Kalos shortly after a war with the neighboring [[region]]s 300 years ago, which is not to be confused with the 3,000-year-old Kalos war. In modern times, the palace has been re-purposed as a public museum, which charges an entrance fee of {{Pdollar}}1,000.

==Description==
[[File:Photo Spot Parfum Palace.png|thumb|left|200px|[[Photography|Photo]] from outside the Parfum Palace gates]]
The Parfum Palace was once the home of the king of Kalos, and has the fitting style for a regal man. Many statues honoring the knights and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} who fought in the 300-year-old war are on display inside, including those of a {{p|Bisharp}} general, which once lead a legion of {{p|Pawniard}} into battle. The entrance hall also contains a statue of {{p|Milotic}}, said to be the most beautiful Pokémon in the {{pkmn|world}}.

Besides statues, the palace is also filled with numerous rooms, paintings, and antique artifacts. In the king's bedroom, the {{player}} can fully heal their Pokémon by briefly sleeping in the bed. Many tourists and guides can be found all around the castle, telling either their own opinions of the place or bits of its history. On the second floor, there is a hallway decorated with wall-sized mirrors. The hallway leads to the balcony, which offers an overview of the palace's gardens.

The palace garden, preceded by a bridge over a pond, contains statues of {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}}, two [[Legendary Pokémon]] from the [[Unova]] region. In addition, the garden is decorated with four hedge mazes, {{i|Poké Ball}} statues added in a later era, and a fountain. The king of Kalos is said to have prized his garden back in the day, even holding garden parties out there. Three of the four hedge mazes are shaped to look like a {{p|Solrock}}, a {{p|Chandelure}}, and a male {{p|Pyroar}}, respectively.

When the player first arrives at the palace with [[Shauna]], the palace's owner can be found in the entrance hall, looking for his lost {{p|Furfrou}}. The Furfrou can be found inside of a hedge maze at the garden, and the player and Shauna must team up to chase it to a dead end, preventing it from running away. After catching Furfrou, the player and Shauna are invited to watch fireworks at the balcony. Once the fireworks are over, the owner's {{tc|Butler}} will hand over the [[Poké Flute]] needed to wake up the {{p|Snorlax}} blocking {{rt|7|Kalos}}.

A [[Photo Spot]] can be found at the right section of the lawn in front of the palace, where the player can get their picture taken by [[Phil the Photo Guy]] in front of the palace's gates.

===''Pokémon the Series''===
[[File:Parfum Palace anime.png|thumb|250px|The Parfum Palace in {{aniseries|XY}}]]
===={{aniseries|XY}}====
The Parfum Palace appeared in ''[[XY018|Awakening the Sleeping Giant!]]''. Unlike in the games, where the palace is a museum, in {{aniseries|PTS}}, it is the home of [[Princess Allie]]. She had taken the [[Poké Flute]] from [[Lord Shabboneau]] on her own permission, thinking that it looked pretty. As the flute was required in an annual festival to awaken a {{p|Snorlax}} sleeping in [[Camphrier Town]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} went to the Parfum Palace to get it back. Princess Allie, however, considered the Poké Flute her own, and refused to hand it back. She then noticed [[Ash's Pikachu]], and said that she wanted to have it. Ash naturally refused to do so, even when Allie offered him great riches in return. She then made Ash an offer: they would have a battle, with Pikachu and the Poké Flute being the bets. Even though this put the ownership of his best friend in danger, Ash reluctantly accepted the challenge.

The battle between Allie's {{p|Furfrou}} and Ash's Pikachu took place at a battlefield located in the palace's courtyard. After a while into the battle, Pikachu attacked Furfrou with {{m|Thunderbolt}}, the static electricity causing Furfrou's hair to stand up. Horrified of the terrible outlook, Allie had Furfrou taken to be groomed right away. Since Furfrou had been withdrawn from the battle, {{an|Clemont}} declared Ash the winner by forfeit. When Ash asked Allie to give back the Poké Flute, she shocked him by saying that she wouldn't: she had only said that Pikachu and the Poké Flute were bet on the battle, not who would get which if she lost. Ash and his friends were outraged, and Clemont gave Allie a speech of how selfish her behavior was and that wasn't the way how the world worked, saying that she should hand over the Poké Flute, since Ash even risked his precious partner when accepting the challenge. Hearing Clemont's seemingly caring speech, Allie agreed to give the Poké Flute back on the condition of letting Clemont stay with her. Clemont was shocked, but the others told him to accept the offer, secretly assuring him that they would come back to save him once Snorlax had been awakened.

After the Poké Flute had been returned to its rightful owner and the festival had been completed (even though {{TRT}} had tried to steal the Poké Flute), {{an|Bonnie}} realized that they had forgotten to save Clemont. However, Clemont then arrived, having left behind a [[Clemontic Gear|robotic duplicate of himself]]. Once Allie found out that Clemont had left, she angrily slapped the robot, causing it to blow up in her face.

===={{MangaArc|X & Y}}====
The Parfum Palace appeared in ''[[PS566|Overthrowing a Tyrunt]]'' and ''[[PS567|Morphing Manectric]]'', where {{adv|X}} and {{adv|Trevor}} followed a {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}} who had stolen a [[Manectite]] there. While they tried to keep up with the Grunt's {{p|Tyrunt}} through the hedge mazes, the [[Pokémon category|Royal Heir Pokémon]] suddenly jumped into [[Kanga and Li'l Kanga|Kanga]]'s pouch and stole her [[Kangaskhanite]]. The Grunt then explained to the two {{pkmn|Trainer}}s how there was a specific [[Mega Stone]] for each Pokémon capable of [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]].

X proceeded to battle the Grunt which the {{p|Manectric}} that had followed him and his friends from the [[Lumiose Gym]] in search for its Mega Stone and now joined X's [[party|team]] with the [[nickname]] "[[Élec]]". Due to Tyrunt being part {{t|Dragon}} type, Élec's {{t|Electric}} attacks weren't very effective against it. However, with the help of Trevor's {{p|Flabébé}}, Élec managed to subdue the Grunt, giving Flabébé a chance to recover the stolen Mega Stones. X then used the Manectite to Mega Evolve Élec and defeat the Grunt, driving him away. After the battle, X discovered that the Grunt had dropped a complete list of all known Mega Stones.

In ''[[PS568|Connecting with Gardevoir]]'', fireworks from the Parfum Palace were briefly seen in [[Korrina]]'s flashback.

==Trivia==
[[File:Parfum Palace Portrait.png|thumb|200px|Portrait of a king at Parfum Palace]]
* One of the rooms in Parfum Palace contains a painting of the king who built the palace. If the player has beaten the {{pkmn|Champion}}, examining the painting of the king will cause them to note that it looks like [[AZ]].
** In [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], this portrait is put up on display in [[Lumiose Museum]], where it is clarified that the person depicted on the painting is a descendant of AZ's younger brother.
* The reference to Kalos, ruled by its king, having fought a war with neighboring regions 300 years ago may allude to the {{wp|War of the Spanish Succession}} (1701–1714) and the {{wp|Treaty of Utrecht}} (1713). This conflict, fought over the vacant Spanish throne, set France against a coalition of European powers—namely, the {{wp|Holy Roman Empire}}, {{wp|Great Britain}}, the {{wp|Dutch Republic}}, and {{wp|Duchy of Savoy|Savoy}}—and concluded with the French {{wp|House of Bourbon|Bourbon dynasty}} securing the Spanish crown. The timing is notable, as these events occurred 300 years before the release of {{g|X and Y}} in 2013. In addition, the {{wp|Palace of Versailles}}—the likely real-world inspiration for Parfum Palace—had by then been completed in the form recognized today.
* The {{tc|Butler}} guarding the gate will still let the player in even if they do not have the requested entrance fee when they first visit the palace. This is due to getting the Poké Flute being essential for the game's plot to continue.
* If the player has a {{p|Hoopa}} in their party, a {{tc|Backpacker}} will appear in the westernmost room on the second floor, telling the player various things about Hoopa and its rings.

===Origin===
{{main|Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Kalos|Pokémon world in relation to the real world → Kalos}}
Parfum Palace is based on the {{wp|Palace of Versailles}}, located outside Paris, which was originally built as a hunting lodge by the {{wp|List of French monarchs|French king}} {{wp|Louis XIII of France|Louis XIII}} and later expanded into a palace by his son and successor, {{wp|Louis XIV of France|Louis XIV}}. The palace is well known for being among the most opulent in Europe, and this opulence is referenced numerous times in the game. Parfum Palace also features a courtyard, which is directly based on the {{wp|gardens of Versailles|gardens}} located outside of the Palace of Versailles.<ref>Masuda, Junichi (July 7, 2016). "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09nZFy9woGE Masterclass Pokémon avec Junichi MASUDA]." The 17th {{wp|Japan Expo}} event, Paris, France.</ref> Like its game counterpart, the expansive gardens and man-made lake were the site of extravagant parties, a similarity which is pointed out by a visitor in Parfum Palace.

Today, the site of the Palace of Versailles is a popular tourist attraction, which requires expensive upkeep. This is cynically echoed in the game by the man who minds the front gate of Parfum Palace and defends the high entrance fee to [[Shauna]], saying that the proceeds will be used to maintain the museum, "probably." The major difference between the two palaces, however, is that Parfum Palace is apparently privately owned, whereas Versailles is owned and maintained by the French government.

'''Girafarig''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キリンリキ''' ''Kirinriki'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Farigiraf}} when [[level]]ed up while knowing {{m|Twin Beam}}.

==Biology==
Girafarig is a cloven-hooved, quadrupedal {{wp|giraffe|giraffine}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a long neck. There is a white blaze on its muzzle, which ends in a round, pink nose. It has two {{wp|ossicones}} with bulbous tips on top of its head. Its front half is yellow with brown spots, while its back half is brown with yellow spots. The brown section on female Girafarig is smaller than that of the male. There are many triangular, pink spikes along its back. Girafarig lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|savannas and grasslands}}, where it feeds on the plant life.

Girafarig's tail possesses a head of its own. The tail's head has yellow eyes, a mouth full of sharp teeth, and a small brain. However, this head is incapable of independent thinking and relies on outside stimuli such as smell to guide its actions. If the tail smells something alluring, it will bite. The tail often mimics the head during feeding and is able to warn the Pokémon of danger if it is sleeping. The tail head can also unleash psychic powers.

Girafarig and its evolved form, {{p|Farigiraf}}, are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Twin Beam}}.

===Evolution===
Girafarig evolves into {{p|Farigiraf}}.

==In the TCG==

==In the TFG==
One Girafarig figure has been released.
* {{TFG|Groundbreakers}}: {{TFG ID|Groundbreakers|Girafarig|9}}

==Trivia==
* Girafarig's name is a {{wp|palindrome}}.
** Keeping with the theme, its low-HP quote in {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}} is also a palindrome.
** The name of its evolved form, {{p|Farigiraf}}, is also a palindrome, with them both being one of five Pokémon whose English names are palindromic, the other three being {{p|Eevee}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, and {{p|Alomomola}}.
* Girafarig's English name was suggested by Jeff Kalles, who assisted in the naming of many [[Generation II]] Pokémon.<ref>[https://twitter.com/sellak/status/1431016823810449410 Tweet by Jeff Kalles (@Sellak).] Posted on August 26, 2021.</ref>

===Concept and development===
[[File:Alpha kirinriki.png|thumb|200px|Photograph of Girafarig's early design in the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo|Spaceworld '97 demo]]]]
An early design of Girafarig had a full-sized second head, reflecting its palindromic name, and resembling a {{wp|List of Doctor Dolittle characters#The pushmi-pullyu|Pushmi-pullyu}}. This design appeared in the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo]].

Girafarig was also originally intended to be {{t|Dark}}/{{t|Normal}} type and was supposed to have a pre-evolved form named "Tsuinzu" (Japanese: {{j|ツインズ}}), which literally means "twins".

</gallery>

===Origin===
Girafarig appears to be based primarily on a {{wp|giraffe}} — possibly specifically a giraffe calf, given its relatively short neck — while its brown-colored backside seems to be derived from the {{wp|okapi}}.

Girafarig's tail may be based on that of the mythological {{wp|Chimera (mythology)|Chimera}}, referencing the chimerical nature of the {{wp|qilin}}, a creature from Chinese mythology whose Japanese name (''kirin'') was later applied to giraffes. With its abrupt split in color, Girafarig may also represent {{wp|Chimera (genetics)|genetic chimerism}}.

====Name origin====
Girafarig may be derived from ''{{wp|giraffe}}''. The name is a palindrome, which may refer to its two-headed appearance.

Kirinriki is a palindrome which may be derived from 麒麟 ''kirin'' (giraffe). It may also involve 念力 ''nenriki'' (telekinesis).

The four Pokémon are individually referred to by the same names as their [[Signature Ability|signature Abilities]]: the '''{{a|Tablets of Ruin}}''', '''{{a|Sword of Ruin}}''', '''{{a|Vessel of Ruin}}''', and '''{{a|Beads of Ruin}}''', respectively.<ref group="lower-alpha">Referred to in-game as well as in promotional material for events, e.g. "Challenge the Shiny Tablets of Ruin!"</ref> They originated in [[Region#Unnamed locations|an unknown land]], but currently reside in the [[Paldea]] region.

==Shared design==
The four treasures of ruin share a primary type, {{t|Dark}}; a {{pkmn|category}}, "Ruinous Pokémon"; and a signature move, {{m|Ruination}}. Their [[Signature Ability|signature Abilities]] are all variations of each other, sharing the effect of lowering a certain [[stat]] by 25% for all {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} on the field except themselves when they are in battle. Their names are all derived from Chinese.

===Origin===
Each Pokémon appears to draw prominent inspiration from ancient Chinese artifacts originating from {{wp|History of China#Ancient China|the era}} prior to the establishment of the {{wp|Qin dynasty}} in 221 BC, particularly {{wp|bamboo and wooden slips}}, double-edged ''{{wp|jian}}'' sword, bronze ''{{wp|Ding (vessel)|ding}}'' cauldron, and {{wp|Chinese jade|jade}} ware. The appearance of the [[treasures of ruin]] may also reference early modern cultural and commercial exchanges of the West with China during the period, such as the {{wp|History of China–Portugal relations|Portuguese establishment}} of trading activities in southern China in the early 16th century with the founding of {{wp|Portuguese Macau|Macau}}, followed by {{wp|China–Spain relations|Spanish contacts}} with China starting at the latter part of the century.

They may also be partly inspired by the concept of the {{wp|Four Perils}}, four malevolent beings that exist in {{wp|Chinese mythology}}.

==History==
The four treasures of ruin were once normal objects originated from [[Region#Unnamed locations|a distant land]] in the east of [[Paldea]]. These four treasures were a set of wooden tablets, a sword, a vessel, and a set of beads. As time passed, each of the treasures were corrupted by negative human emotions: grudge, hatred, fear, and envy respectively, gaining life and cladding themselves in dead leaves, snow and ice, dirt and rocks, and fire to create their respective bodies, becoming the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Wo-Chien}}, {{p|Chien-Pao}}, {{p|Ting-Lu}}, and {{p|Chi-Yu}}.

One day, in the ancient times of Paldea, a merchant came from the east in possession of these four treasures, traveled to the Paldea region, and presented them to the Paldean king. In excitement, the treasure-obsessed king quickly bought them all, keeping them in his castle with his other treasures. The king's greed, however, eventually caused the four treasures to awaken, transforming into their Pokémon forms. The four Legendary Pokémon went berserk and caused a disaster that completely destroyed the castle and almost the entire kingdom afterwards.

Eventually though, the four of them were defeated and sealed away in different shrines scattered across the Paldea region by Pokémon wielders called out by the Paldean king. Wo-Chien was sealed within the [[Grasswither Shrine]], Chien-Pao within the [[Icerend Shrine]], Ting-Lu within the [[Groundblight Shrine]], and Chi-Yu within the [[Firescourge Shrine]].

==In the games==
===Pokémon Scarlet and Violet===
The four treasures of ruin are scattered across Paldea, sealed in special shrines. Wo-Chien's can be found in [[South Province (Area One)]], Chien-Pao's can be found in [[West Province (Area One)]], Ting-Lu's can be found in the [[Socarrat Trail]], and Chi-Yu's can be found in [[North Province (Area Two)]]. Their shrines are usually locked, but can be unlocked after pulling out eight different stakes scattered across their respective areas. Upon pulling out all stakes, their shrines will unlock and the respective Pokémon can be called out to battle by interacting with their shrines.

The Shiny version of the treasures of ruin were encounterable in four limited [[Poké Portal News]] events as 5 Star Tera Raids. During the [[Tera Raid]] Battle event, neither of the four can be captured and said events ends on September 30, 2025 respectively. '''Challenge the Shiny Tablets of Ruin''' event lasts from Friday, August 8, 2025 to Tuesday, September 30, 2025. '''Challenge the Shiny Sword of Ruin''' event lasts from August 22, 2025 to Tuesday, September 30, 2025. '''Challenge the Shiny Vessel of Ruin''' event lasts from September 5, 2025, to September 30, 2025. '''Challenge the Shiny Beads of Ruin''' event lasts from September 19, 2025 to September 30, 2025. Defeating any of this battles one million times will grant players the respective Shiny Pokémon to be obtained though [[Mystery Gift]] rewards at the following times.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Scarlet & Violet}}====
While none of the treasures of ruin have appeared in [[Pokémon Adventures]] so far, {{Scarlet}}, who is a treasure hunter, is battling [[Paldea]]'s [[Gym Leader]]s in search of information about them. In [[PASV10]], it's revealed that Scarlet is seeking the treasures for one of her clients. Later on, it's revealed that her client is [[Uva Academy]]'s history teacher [[Raifort]], who wants to capture them and bring them under control so they can't spread ruin in case they're released into the world. She also reveals that to unseal the treasure, Scarlet will need another Pokémon with a special power, the {{ga|Miraidon|Iron Serpent}}.

==Trivia==
* The treasures of ruin share similarities to the [[guardian deities]]:
** They are a quartet of Legendary Pokémon situated in a particular region.
** Both quartets share a base stat total of 570.
** Each quartet has a shared [[type]]: the treasures of ruin share the {{t|Dark}} type, while the guardian deities share the {{t|Fairy}} type.
** The respective quartets' [[signature move]]s, {{m|Ruination}} and {{m|Nature's Madness}}, are differently typed variations of each other, both being moves that deal damage equivalent to half the target's remaining HP.
** Both quartets also share variations of given [[Ability|Abilities]]: the treasures of ruin all have variations of Abilities that lower a stat of all other Pokémon on the field when they are present, while the guardian deities all share Abilities that summon a different type of [[terrain]] upon entering battle.
* Wo-Chien, Chien-Pao, Ting-Lu, and Chi-Yu all have their names romanized in the {{wp|Wade–Giles}} format in English, Spanish, and Italian. In French and German, their names are instead romanized in the Hanyu {{wp|Pinyin}} format, with their respective names being Chongjian, Baojian, Dinglu, and Yuyu in those languages.
* The treasures of ruin are the first Pokémon whose [[base stats]] were adjusted via a {{DL|Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Version history|patch}} to the game, with each receiving a total decrease of 10 points:
** Wo-Chien lost base 5 points in both Attack and Special Attack.
** Chien-Pao lost base 10 points in Attack.
** Ting-Lu lost base 10 points in HP and 5 points in Defense, while gaining base 5 points in Special Attack.

===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|SM}}====
Maile City debuted in ''[[SM073|Why Not Give Me a Z-Ring Sometime?]]'', where [[Acerola]] was shown reading a tale about the "Greedy Rapooh" to {{al|Nene}} and [[Piko]].

In the [[SM074|next episode]], {{Ash}} arrived to the city on a ferry to compete in the [[Ula'ula Island]] [[Island challenge|trial]]. He also visited Malie Library, where he first learned about the "{{an|Necrozma|Blinding One}}" from Acerola.

The port of Malie City appeared again in ''[[SM077|Guiding an Awakening!]]'' as Ash headed back to [[Melemele Island]] after successfully completing his trial.

Malie City was also briefly seen at the end of ''[[SM080|Not Caving Under Pressure!]]'', when Ash and {{ashcl}} headed there to take a ferry back to Melemele Island after finishing their stay-over tour of the [[Hokulani Observatory]].

The class traveled to Malie City again for a two-day trip in ''[[SM117|Drawn with the Wind!]]''. They stayed at the local [[Pokémon Center]] and wore traditional Malie-style clothing so they could get involved with the city's unique [[Johto]]-inspired culture. Their tour guide, [[Charlie Charma]], escorted the group through the famous [[Malie Garden]]. In the [[SM118|next episode]], Charlie took the group to the [[Kantonian Gym]], where they completed several tasks given by the resident ninjas [[Shirataki]], [[Farley]], and [[Darley]] before reaching the {{tc|Kantonian Gym|Kantonian Gym Leader}}, [[Ryuki]]. Kiawe and Ash were the only ones qualified to battle Ryuki. Kiawe lost his match, while Ash defeated Ryuki's {{t|Dragon}} Pokémon in a [[Double Battle]] and earned himself an unofficial Ryuki [[Badge]]. The class then left Malie City and returned to Melemele Island.

===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}====
Malie City first appeared in ''[[PASM19|Truth and the Mastermind Behind Team Skull]]''. After breaking out of [[Po Town]]'s barrier, a group of [[Ultra Beast]]s began causing havoc all over Ula'ula Island. A {{p|Guzzlord}} and {{p|Celesteela}} made their way to Malie City Outer Cape, where they destroyed the Recycling Plant and burned down a boat from a nearby dock. Afterward, they headed down to the city itself. Innocent civilians caught up in the danger were transported to [[Hokulani Observatory]] for shelter.

==Trivia==
* In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], the man in the Ula'ula Ferry Terminal who gives the player a [[Nugget]] says that he dug up lots of Nuggets on the [[Sevii Islands]]. This heavily suggests that this man is the same one who can be found mining for gold at [[Three Isle Path]] in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
** He is also likely the same man which hands the player a Nugget on {{rt|2|Kanto}} in {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, as the aforementioned Sevii Islands miner mentions buying a house in mainland [[Kanto]].
* When the player returns the [[Left Poké Ball]] to the {{tc|Preschooler}}, the {{p|Dartrix}} released from it uses {{p|Decidueye}}'s [[cry]] at one point.
* Arabella, the Trainer [[List of cross-generational references|referenced]] by {{tc|Rising Star}} Nainoa, is a Gym Trainer who appears in the [[Viridian Gym]] in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

==In other games==
[[File:Masters Nugget.png|thumb|128px|A Nugget in {{g|Masters EX}}]]
===Pokémon Masters EX===
Nuggets were introduced as the exchange currency in the [[solo event]] [[Pasio Gold Rush]]. Players could earn Nuggets as rewards from battles in this event, which could be exchanged in the {{mas|shop}} for items. Like most other event items, any Nuggets that have not been exchanged in the shop at the end of the event period were automatically exchanged for coins. However, Nuggets are exchanged for coins at a rate 100 times higher than other event items, at 1,000 coins each.

Nuggets returned as the exchange currency for the [[special event]] {{DL|special event|Rolling in Gold}}, though they could only be earned in the [[ranked damage event]] {{DL|ranked damage event|Aim for the Top}}. Here, players earned Nuggets as rewards for reaching total score milestones across the three Super Sparring battles.

A Nugget appeared in ''[[SM073|Why Not Give Me a Z-Ring Sometime?]]'', where a man was seen polishing it, only to have it stolen by an item-snatching {{p|Gengar}} [[nickname]]d "the Greedy Rapooh".

===Pokémon Evolutions===
In ''[[PE08|The Discovery]]'', a Nugget was held by a man overseeing the {{rt|24|Kanto|Nugget Bridge}} as he watched {{ga|Green}} effortlessly defeat all the Trainers on the bridge.

==In the TCG==

'''Nugget''' was introduced as an {{TCG|Item card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Sword & Shield Series (the Japanese Sword & Shield Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Rebellion Crash}} and the English {{TCG|Rebel Clash}} expansions, with artwork by [[sadaji]]. It allows the player to draw three cards if the card was drawn at the start of the turn.

10 of these replicas were also given out as prizes for retweeting Twitter account @poke_times announcements about the event.{{-}}

==Trivia==
* The man who gives the {{player}} a Nugget on {{rt|2|Kanto}} in {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} is implied to be the same man who dug the [[Three Isle Path]] in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, as gives two Nuggets to the player and mentions his plans to buy a house in mainland [[Kanto]]. This same man later reappears {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} in the {{DL|Malie City|Ula'ula Ferry Terminal}}, giving the player a Nugget and [[List of cross-generational references|mentioning]] his background as a gold miner in the [[Sevii Islands]].
** Men handing out Nuggets are also met on {{rt|229|Sinnoh}} in [[Sinnoh]], in [[Chargestone Cave]] in [[Unova]], and on [[Mauville City]]'s third floor in {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, though their connections to the aforementioned man, if any, are unknown.
*** This running gag is also acknowledged in the [[Pasio Gold Rush]] [[solo event]] in [[Pokémon Masters EX]], where several characters recall their run-ins with men handing out Nuggets, and postulate if some of them might've been the same person.
{{PA|section}}
* The Japanese name for the item—きんのたま (''kin no tama'')—literally meaning "golden ball", can also be a slang term for testicles. This lends itself to some dirty jokes regarding the item throughout the games, most notably, the aforementioned running gag of a man handing out Nuggets (sometimes specifically two of them) to the player.

The '''Sevii Islands''' (Japanese: '''ナナシマ''' ''Nanashima'') are an archipelago accessible from the [[Kanto]] [[region]].

Official sources differ as to whether the Sevii Islands are part of Kanto or outside of this region. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, and related pages on Pokémon.co.jp, they are considered separate from Kanto.<ref>''"We should head back to <sc>Kanto</sc>."'' - [[Bill]] at {{OBP|One Island|town}}, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}</ref><ref>''"I can't tell you how grateful I am for your rescue of <sc>Lostelle</sc>.

We interviewed a girl visiting from Pallet Town who had the following to say with a big smile on her face. 'I heard that there a lot of rare Pokémon to see here, so I'm really excited!'"'' - Island Monthly (July Issue), Pokémon Pokopia</ref>

==In the core series games==
The Sevii Islands consist of nine main islands, seven of which are permanently settled (hence the archipelago's name), as well as several smaller islets surrounding them. They are located far south of the Kanto mainland, and are home to several {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]]: {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, and {{p|Deoxys}}.

The Sevii Islands provide most of the post-Pokémon League plot in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. The Sevii Islands sideplot actually begins as soon as the {{player}} has defeated the [[Cinnabar Gym]] and obtained the {{Badge|Volcano}}. The first three islands, {{isl|One}}, {{isl|Two}}, and {{isl|Three}}, are the only ones that are initially accessible, but the plot here is important for continuing the game. By obtaining the [[National Pokédex]] (and subsequently retrieving the {{i|Ruby}}), the later islands are unlocked.

Some of the Sevii Islands' background music tracks are remixed themes from {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, specifically the ones from [[Violet City]]/[[Olivine City]] ({{OBP|Six Island|town}} and {{OBP|Seven Island|town}}), [[Azalea Town]]/[[Blackthorn City]] ({{OBP|Four Island|town}} and {{OBP|Five Island|town}}), and [[Route]]s {{rtn|42|Johto}}, {{rtn|43|Johto}}, {{rtn|44|Johto}}, and the [[Lake of Rage]] (routes on {{isl|Five}}, {{isl|Six}}, and {{isl|Seven}} Islands).

The main islands' only game appearance was in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, but the two event-exclusive islands, [[Navel Rock]] and [[Birth Island]], later reappeared in {{game|Emerald}}. The Sevii Islands also appear in other media based on these games.

===Plot===
{{spoilers}}
There is also a plot by [[Team Rocket]] based in the Sevii Islands. It deals with Pokémon [[Evolution]], and appears to be the prelude to a plot that is [[Johto#Contemporary history|launched three years later]]. Only when the Team Rocket members realize that the player has already defeated Giovanni, who subsequently disbanded Team Rocket, do they give up.
{{endspoilers}}

===Accessibility===
In FireRed and LeafGreen, the Sevii Islands are accessible from {{DL|Vermilion City|Port|Vermilion Harbor}} via a system of boats called the [[Seagallop|Seagallop Ferries]]. To be able to access {{isl|One}}, {{isl|Two}}, and [[Three Island]]s, one needs a [[Tri-Pass]], received from [[Celio]] after defeating [[Blaine]] on [[Cinnabar Island]]. To be able to access {{isl|Four}}, {{isl|Five}}, {{isl|Six}}, and [[Seven Island]]s, one needs a [[Rainbow Pass]], received from [[Celio]] in {{OBP|One Island|town}}, after entering the [[Hall of Fame]] and obtaining the [[National Pokédex]]. To be able to access [[Navel Rock]], one needs a [[MysticTicket]], and to be able to access [[Birth Island]], one needs an [[AuroraTicket]], both of which can be obtained promotionally with [[Mystery Gift]]. In the [[Nintendo Switch]] re-release of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, the AuroraTicket and MysticTicket automatically appear in the player's [[Bag]] once the player has become {{pkmn|Champion}} and entered the Hall of Fame.

===Geography===
====Demographics====
The population of Sevii Islands is 212, including all towns and other areas.

====Notable locations====
The nine Sevii Islands are located to the south of mainland Kanto. These islands cannot be surfed to; to travel from island to island a Pokémon Trainer must take the [[Seagallop]] Ferries from another island or [[Vermilion City]] in [[Kanto]].

=====Settlements=====
The seven major islands each have a settlement, which are named numerically.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Masters EX===
In the [[Pasio Gold Rush]] event in [[Pokémon Masters EX]], {{mas|Leaf}} says that she met a {{tc|Hiker}} when she travelled the Sevii Islands. She also asks if {{mas|Red}} met the Hiker as well.

==In animation==
[[File:One Island anime.png|thumb|250px|One Island in [[Pokémon Chronicles]]]]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
====[[Pokémon Chronicles]]====
The Sevii Islands have only been featured in ''[[HS18|The Search for the Legend]]'', where [[Ritchie]] visited [[Mt. Ember]] (referred to as Mt. Magma in the [[dub]]) on [[One Island]]. The episode focused on the {{p|Moltres}} living on the mountain and a man named {{OBP|Silver|HS18}} who desired to {{pkmn|battle}} the [[Legendary birds|Legendary bird]].

===={{aniseries|DP}}====
The Sevii Islands also appear in the {{pkmn|animated series}} map released with ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''.
{{-}}

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen}}====
The Sevii Islands were the main setting for this arc. It focused on the three original Kanto [[Pokédex holder]]s dealing with {{adv|Deoxys}}, based on the [[Birth Island]] event, as well as the resurgence of [[Team Rocket]].

==Trivia==
* According to an old woman on [[Seven Island]], the Sevii Islands were named not because there are seven islands (two event items reveal there are in fact nine), but because they were supposedly made in seven days.
* Data in the games reserved for [[List of locations by index number in Generation III|location name index pointers]] reveal the following values:
** Sevii Isle 6 (Japanese: ６ばんななしま ''Nanashima 6'')
** Sevii Isle 7 (Japanese: ７ばんななしま ''Nanashima 7'')
** Sevii Isle 8 (Japanese: ８ばんななしま ''Nanashima 8'')
** Sevii Isle 9 (Japanese: ９ばんななしま ''Nanashima 9'')
** Sevii Isle 22 (Japanese: ２２ばんななしま ''Nanashima 22'')
** Sevii Isle 23 (Japanese: ２３ばんななしま ''Nanashima 23'')
** Sevii Isle 24 (Japanese: ２４ばんななしま ''Nanashima 24'')
*** These [[route]]s are not accessible during normal gameplay and are likely remnants from the [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen beta|development period]] of the games.
* The [[route]]s on the Sevii Islands are not numbered, unlike the other [[region]]s. This is likely to prevent confusion as to their relation to the others, as continuing where [[Johto]] left off (after {{rt|46|Johto}}, at the time the highest-numbered Johto route) would seemingly imply that Johto is accessible in the games.
* The Sevii Islands being an archipelago located south of [[Kanto]] is similar in concept to the [[Orange Islands]] from {{aniseries|OS}}.

===Origin===
The Sevii Islands archipelago may correspond to the real-life {{wp|Izu Islands}} and {{wp|Bonin Islands}}. Both island chains are administered as part of {{wp|Tokyo|Tokyo Metropolis}}, and are thus considered part of the {{wp|Kantō region}}, despite their distance from the mainland.

One through Four Island as well as Navel Rock may correspond to the Izu Islands, while Five, Six, and Seven Island may correspond to {{wp|Mukojima}}, {{wp|Chichijima}}, and {{wp|Hahajima}} in the Bonin.

Navel Rock and Birth Island's status as two secret, extra islands, could be a reference to the fact that, although the Izu Islands are sometimes referred to as the "{{wp|Seven Islands of Izu}}" in reference to the seven "main" permanently inhabited islands, there are actually two more permanently inhabited islands (as well as dozens of uninhabited islets) which are implicitly excluded in that name: {{wp|Shikinejima}} and {{wp|Aogashima}}. Birth Island's shape and location appears to be based on {{wp|Minamitorishima}} however, an isolated coral atoll politically but not geographically considered a part of the Bonin Islands.

The '''Sevii Islands''' (Japanese: '''ナナシマ''' ''Nanashima'') are an archipelago accessible from the [[Kanto]] [[region]].

Official sources differ as to whether the Sevii Islands are part of Kanto or outside of this region. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, and related pages on Pokémon.co.jp, they are considered separate from Kanto.<ref>''"We should head back to <sc>Kanto</sc>."'' - [[Bill]] at {{OBP|One Island|town}}, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}</ref><ref>''"I can't tell you how grateful I am for your rescue of <sc>Lostelle</sc>.

'I heard that there a lot of rare Pokémon to see here, so I'm really excited!'"'' - Island Monthly (July Issue), Pokémon Pokopia</ref>

==In the core series games==
The Sevii Islands consist of nine large islands and several small islands surrounding them. They are located far south of the Kanto mainland, and are home to several {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]]: {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, and {{p|Deoxys}}.

The Sevii Islands provide most of the post-Pokémon League plot in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. The Sevii Islands sideplot actually begins as soon as the {{player}} has defeated the [[Cinnabar Gym]] and obtained the {{Badge|Volcano}}. The first three islands, {{isl|One}}, {{isl|Two}}, and {{isl|Three}}, are the only ones that are initially accessible, but the plot here is important for continuing the game. By obtaining the [[National Pokédex]] (and subsequently retrieving the {{i|Ruby}}), the later islands are unlocked.

Some of the Sevii Islands' background music tracks are remixed themes from {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, specifically the ones from [[Violet City]]/[[Olivine City]] ({{OBP|Six Island|town}} and {{OBP|Seven Island|town}}), [[Azalea Town]]/[[Blackthorn City]] ({{OBP|Four Island|town}} and {{OBP|Five Island|town}}), and [[Route]]s {{rtn|42|Johto}}, {{rtn|43|Johto}}, {{rtn|44|Johto}}, and the [[Lake of Rage]] (routes on {{isl|Five}}, {{isl|Six}}, and {{isl|Seven}} Islands).

The main islands' only game appearance was in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, but the two event-exclusive islands, [[Navel Rock]] and [[Birth Island]], later reappeared in {{game|Emerald}}. The Sevii Islands also appear in other media based on these games.

===Plot===
{{spoilers}}
There is also a plot by [[Team Rocket]] based in the Sevii Islands. It deals with Pokémon [[Evolution]], and appears to be the prelude to a plot that is [[Johto#Contemporary history|launched three years later]]. Only when the Team Rocket members realize that the player has already defeated Giovanni, who subsequently disbanded Team Rocket, do they give up.
{{endspoilers}}

===Accessibility===
In FireRed and LeafGreen, the Sevii Islands are accessible from {{DL|Vermilion City|Port|Vermilion Harbor}} via a system of boats called the [[Seagallop|Seagallop Ferries]]. To be able to access {{isl|One}}, {{isl|Two}}, and [[Three Island]]s, one needs a [[Tri-Pass]], received from [[Celio]] after defeating [[Blaine]] on [[Cinnabar Island]]. To be able to access {{isl|Four}}, {{isl|Five}}, {{isl|Six}}, and [[Seven Island]]s, one needs a [[Rainbow Pass]], received from [[Celio]] in {{OBP|One Island|town}}, after entering the [[Hall of Fame]] and obtaining the [[National Pokédex]]. To be able to access [[Navel Rock]], one needs a [[MysticTicket]], and to be able to access [[Birth Island]], one needs an [[AuroraTicket]], both of which can be obtained promotionally with [[Mystery Gift]]. In the [[Nintendo Switch]] re-release of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, the AuroraTicket and MysticTicket automatically appear in the player's [[Bag]] once the player has become {{pkmn|Champion}} and entered the Hall of Fame.

===Geography===
====Demographics====
The population of Sevii Islands is 212, including all towns and other areas.

====Notable locations====
The nine Sevii Islands are located to the south of mainland Kanto. These islands cannot be surfed to; to travel from island to island a Pokémon Trainer must take the [[Seagallop]] Ferries from another island or [[Vermilion City]] in [[Kanto]].

=====Settlements=====
The seven major islands each have a settlement, which are named numerically.

====[[Pokémon Chronicles]]====
The Sevii Islands have only been featured in ''[[HS18|The Search for the Legend]]'', where [[Ritchie]] visited [[Mt. Ember]] (referred to as Mt. Magma in the [[dub]]) on [[One Island]]. The episode focused on the {{p|Moltres}} living on the mountain and a man named {{OBP|Silver|HS18}} who desired to {{pkmn|battle}} the [[Legendary birds|Legendary bird]].

===={{aniseries|DP}}====
The Sevii Islands also appear in the {{pkmn|animated series}} map released with ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen}}====
The Sevii Islands were the main setting for this arc. It focused on the three original Kanto [[Pokédex holder]]s dealing with {{adv|Deoxys}}, based on the [[Birth Island]] event, as well as the resurgence of [[Team Rocket]].

==Trivia==
* According to an old woman on [[Seven Island]], the Sevii Islands were named not because there are seven islands (two event items reveal there are in fact nine), but because they were supposedly made in seven days.
* Data in the games reserved for [[List of locations by index number in Generation III|location name index pointers]] reveal the following values:

** Sevii Isle 23 (Japanese: ２３ばんななしま ''Nanashima 23'')
** Sevii Isle 24 (Japanese: ２４ばんななしま ''Nanashima 24'')

Birth Island

Pescavelho: /* Trivia */

{{Infobox location
|image=Birth Island {{#switch: {{#time: w}}|0|2|4|6=FRLG|1|3|5=E}}.png
|type=land
|location_name=Birth Island
|japanese_name=たんじょうのしま

|location=South of [[Six Island]], east of [[Seven Island]]
|region=Sevii Islands
|generation={{gen|III}}
}}

'''Birth Island''' (Japanese: '''たんじょうのしま''' ''Birth Island'') is a location near {{isl|Six}} and [[Seven Island]]s in the [[Sevii Islands]], accessible in {{game2|FireRed|LeafGreen|Emerald}}. The [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Deoxys}} dwells on this island.

==Role==
The {{player}} can reach Birth Island only after obtaining the [[AuroraTicket]] (downloaded through [[Mystery Gift]] in the original releases, or after entering [[Hall of Fame]] in the [[Nintendo Switch]] re-release of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} with a Pokémon that hasn’t previously gotten a Champion Ribbon) and sailing there by talking to the {{tc|Sailor}} in front of the [[Seagallop|Seagallop Ferries]] in FireRed and LeafGreen (only after obtaining the [[Rainbow Pass]]), or by boarding the [[S.S. Tidal]] in {{game|Emerald}}.

Like [[Navel Rock]], Birth Island is invisible on the [[Town Map]] by default in FireRed and LeafGreen due to its [[event]]-only status, only appearing when the player first arrives there. This is in contrast to the other Sevii Islands, which appear on the Town Map even before the player has visited them. It also never appears on the [[PokéNav]]'s map in Emerald.

Upon first arriving at the island, the only thing the player will find is an inert, black, triangular rock. To make {{p|Deoxys}} appear, the player must solve a puzzle by following the rock: each time the rock is interacted with, it will move to a different position on the island, and the player must perform the shortest possible path to the rock's new position. Each successful interaction will cause the rock to glow more; the puzzle is solved once the rock returns to one space above its original position and glows a bright red. Interacting with the rock in this state will cause it to shatter and Deoxys to appear. If the player fails to follow the shortest path before the puzzle is solved, interacting with the rock will reset the puzzle, moving the rock back to its original position and reverting it to black.

==Puzzle==
To solve the puzzle and make {{p|Deoxys}} appear, the {{player}} must do the following:

# Approach the triangle from below and press '''A'''.
# Press '''←''' 5×, '''↓''' once, then '''A'''.
# Press '''→''' 5×, '''↑''' 5×, then '''A'''.
# Press '''→''' 5×, '''↓''' 5×, then '''A'''.
# Press '''↑''' 3×, '''←''' 7×, then '''A'''.
# Press '''→''' 5×, then '''A'''.
# Press '''←''' 3×, '''↓''' 2×, then '''A'''.
# Press '''↓''' once, '''←''' 4×, then '''A'''.
# Press '''→''' 7×, then '''A'''.
# Press '''←''' 4×, '''↓''' once, then '''A'''.
# Press '''↑''' 4×, then '''A'''.

==Special encounters==
A {{p|Deoxys}} appears here after solving the rock puzzle. If defeated, it respawns after entering the [[Hall of Fame]]. If run from, it respawns upon leaving the area.

This Deoxys is treated as having been met in a [[fateful encounter]]. This is not visible in the Generation III games, only becoming visible when [[transfer]]red to a later generation; in Generation III, this flag is instead used to prevent Deoxys from [[obedience|disobeying]] the player and allows it to be traded.

Once captured, it will transform into its Attack{{sup/3|FR}}/Defense{{sup/3|LG}}/Speed{{sup/3|E}} Forme.

===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen}}====
Birth Island first appeared in ''[[PS281|Not Exactly Normal]]''. After defeating {{adv|Red}} on [[Five Island]], the {{p|Deoxys}} known as {{DL|Deoxys (Adventures)|Organism No. 2}} retired to Birth Island in order to heal the [[damage]] it had received when [[Pika|Red's Pikachu]]'s {{m|Thunder}} struck its core. In order to protect itself, Organism No. 2 encased itself in a pyramid-like protection called "Delta Shield", a combination of {{m|Reflect}} and {{m|Light Screen}}. {{adv|Giovanni}}, however, took advantage of Organism No. 2's weakened state and followed it to the island in ''[[PS282|Going Green]]''. Using his {{TP|Giovanni|Beedrill}}'s {{m|Agility}} to cut off its movements and his {{p|Aggron}}'s {{m|Brick Break}} to destroy the Delta Shield, Giovanni was able to {{pkmn2|caught|capture}} Organism No. 2 with a [[Poké Ball]] specifically designed to catch the [[Pokémon category|DNA Pokémon]].

In ''[[PS296|It's Starting to Make Sense Now]]'', [[Sird]] revealed that Organism No. 2, which had been in an incomplete state at the time, had retreated to Birth Island after it had initially escaped from [[Team Rocket]]'s captivity in order to fully complete its growth and awaken itself. When he had first learned this, Giovanni had mused that Birth Island was a perfect place for Deoxys to do such a thing.

==Trivia==
[[File:Deoxys core Birth Island Movement ORAS.png|thumb|Deoxys floating in space in the form of a triangular stone tablet]]
* While Birth Island is absent from {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the end of the [[Delta Episode]] alludes to it: after {{me|Rayquaza}} destroys [[Grand Meteor Delta|the meteor]], a triangle emerges from the remnants, darts about in the same pattern as the puzzle on Birth Island, and then breaks apart, revealing Deoxys.
* No event distributions to access Birth Island were done for Japanese Emerald. As a result, only international versions of Emerald could access this event.

===Origin===
Birth Island might be based on {{wp|Minamitorishima}}, a vaguely triangular {{wp|atoll}}, considered part of the {{wp|Bonin Islands}} (which the Sevii Islands are partially based on) politically, despite its geographical isolation from them and the rest of {{wp|Japan}}.

'''Burmy''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミノムッチ''' ''Minomucchi'') is a {{type|Bug}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into either {{p|Wormadam}} or {{p|Mothim}} starting at [[level]] 20 depending on its [[gender]]; female Burmy evolve into Wormadam, whereas male Burmy evolve into Mothim.

Burmy has three [[#Form data|forms]]: '''Plant Cloak''', '''Sandy Cloak''', and '''Trash Cloak'''. It changes its cloak based on the [[environment]] of its last battle. In the case of female Burmy, its form determines the form of Wormadam it evolves into, which is permanent. The specifics of how an environment affects Burmy's cloak vary between games. The cloak only affects the form of {{p|Wormadam}} it evolves into, otherwise having no effect on gameplay.

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Form data|Game data→Form data]] for these details.)

==Biology==
Burmy is a small, larval {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a black segmented body and a coiled antenna on top of its head. It has a beak-like mouth and yellow eyes. Burmy has six stubby legs: the first two pairs are black, while the back pair is yellow. There are also two white spots on its cheeks. However, Burmy's legs and cheek spots are only visible on a Burmy without a cloak.

As seen in the {{aniseries|DP}} episode ''[[DP030|Some Enchanted Sweetening!]]'' it can uncoil the antenna on its head and wrap it around its opponent. {{p|Remoraid}} is a natural predator of Burmy.

===Forms===
[[File:Burmy Forms TCG.png|thumb|200px|Burmy's forms in the [[Burmy (Brilliant Stars 9)|TCG]]]]
Burmy has three forms: Plant Cloak, Sandy Cloak, and Trash Cloak.

Burmy is normally covered by a cloak, with three known variants that consist of either twigs and leaves, sand and mud bound by its own silk, or dust and garbage resembling pink building insulation. It will not hesitate to collect nearby materials to construct a new cloak if the old one breaks or falls off. Even if it is born where there are no cocooning materials, it somehow always ends up with a cloak. The cloak protects it from the cold and will become thinner when the weather is hot.

</div>

===Evolution===
Burmy, if [[Gender|female]], evolves into {{p|Wormadam}} and, if male, evolves into {{p|Mothim}}. When evolving into Wormadam, its form determines the form of Wormadam it evolves into, which is permanent.

===Form data===
Burmy has three separate forms: Plant Cloak, Sandy Cloak, and Trash Cloak. Burmy can change forms freely, changing its cloak depending on the environment in which it last participated in a battle (so [[Exp. Share]] alone will not change its form). When a Burmy evolves into {{p|Wormadam}}, it retains its cloak.

Apart from {{pkmn|breeding}} and [[Evolution]], Burmy's cloak is purely cosmetic. Bred Burmy will have the same cloak as the mother, will be in the same cloak as a Burmy or Wormadam bred with {{p|Ditto}}, or will be in Plant Cloak if bred from a {{p|Mothim}} and a Ditto.

If a Burmy last battled outside or in [[tall grass]], it changes into its Plant Cloak. In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, it will change into this form in [[Jubilife Village]] and the [[Obsidian Fieldlands]]. If female, Plant Cloak Burmy will evolve into Plant Cloak Wormadam, which is a {{2t|Bug|Grass}} Pokémon. This cloak is composed of leaves and twigs.

If a Burmy last battled in a [[cave]] or on a [[beach]], it changes into its Sandy Cloak. In [[Generation IV]], it will also change into this form after battling in an area with a snow storm. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Burmy will change into this form after battling inside the [[Bell Tower]], the [[Burned Tower]], or [[Sprout Tower]], due to the towers all being internally classified as caves. In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, it will change into this form in the [[Crimson Mirelands]] or the [[Coronet Highlands]]. If female, Sandy Cloak Burmy will evolve into Sandy Cloak Wormadam, which is a {{2t|Bug|Ground}} Pokémon. This cloak is composed of sand and rocks.

If a Burmy last battled in a building, it changes into its Trash Cloak. In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, it will change into this form in the [[Cobalt Coastlands]] and the [[Alabaster Icelands]]. If female, Trash Cloak Burmy will evolve into Trash Cloak Wormadam, which is a {{2t|Bug|Steel}} Pokémon. This cloak is composed of pink {{wp|building insulation|insulation}}.

In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, Burmy's cloaks cannot be changed and are instead found in different dungeons or as separate Pokémon on the [[Connection Orb]].

==Trivia==
* Burmy and {{p|Wormadam}} share their {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Pineco}} and {{p|Forretress}}. They are all known as the Bagworm Pokémon.
* Burmy is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 224.
* Although Burmy has been confirmed to have feet, it does not have a [[footprint]].
* Except for recurring end segments such as [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia]], Burmy has never been seen in the {{pkmn|animated series}} wearing either the Sandy or Trash Cloak.
* Prior to [[Generation VI]], Burmy's shape was [[File:Body02.png|32px]].
* Burmy's [[List of Pokémon by color|Pokédex color]] has changed between generations:
** Prior to [[Generation VII]], all Burmy forms were classified as gray.
** In Generation VII and prior to the release of {{g|HOME}}, all Burmy forms were classified as green.
** After the release of HOME, Plant Cloak Burmy retains its classification as green, while Sandy Cloak and Trash Cloak Burmy are classified as brown and red, respectively.
* Before [[Generation VIII]], the Burmy family had only been obtainable with their [[Hidden Ability]] in the [[Pokémon Dream World]]. Due to the closure of the [[Pokémon Global Link]], the Burmy family could no longer be obtained with their Hidden Ability, except by trading between games and {{pkmn|breeding}}. The Burmy family's Hidden Ability can currently be obtained via the [[Ability Patch]].
* Burmy, {{p|Wormadam}}, {{p|Mothim}}, {{p|Geodude}}, {{p|Graveler}}, and {{p|Golem}} are the only Pokémon in all five [[List of Pokémon by Hisui Pokédex number|Hisui Pokédex]] sublistings.
* Not including Evolutions into [[regional form]]s, Burmy is the only Pokémon introduced in [[Generation IV]] to have a [[List of Pokémon with branched Evolutions|branched Evolution]].
* In {{game|Platinum}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, and {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, when the [[player character]] talks to the [[Non-player character|NPC]] that [[Hidden Power (move)/Calculation|checks]] the [[type]] that {{m|Hidden Power}} will be when used by a specific Pokémon, he will state that Burmy cannot learn Hidden Power, despite Burmy being able to learn it at [[level]] 20. This is due to Burmy being unable to learn the move via TM prior to Generation VI.
* Burmy can be spawned in all existing tree-based mechanics that can spawn Pokémon ([[Honey Tree]]s, [[Headbutt tree]]s, as well as shaking trees in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}) in games where Burmy is available. It shares this trait with {{p|Cherubi}}.

===Origin===
Burmy is based on a {{wp|bag moth}} caterpillar, which construct mobile shelters with silk and environmental materials. Its gender-based evolution mirrors the life cycle of real-world bag moths: males maturing into flying moths while females (in most cases) remain larviform and bag-bound. It also resembles a {{wp|sauna whisk}} and may nod to the {{wp|Bannik}}, a Slavic bathhouse spirit said to resemble a tiny old man wearing nothing but a beard full of leaves and twigs.

Burmy's Trash Cloak appears to be made of {{wp|fiberglass}} insulation, a wool-like padding that is often dyed pink — this seems to be alluded to in its [[Pokédex]] entry in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, where it is described as surprisingly comfortable, due to its spongy texture. The idea of a cloak made from household materials may have been inspired by {{wp|Phereoeca uterella|household casebearer moths}}, whose larvae exhibit the same cloaking behaviour as bagworms, and make cloaks from dust, hair, and dirt they scavenge from homes.

====Name origin====
Burmy may be a combination of ''burnous'' (a type of cloak) and ''worm'', with a diminutive ''-y''.

Minomucchi may be derived from 蓑虫 ''minomushi'' (bag moth caterpillar) and possibly from プチ ''puchi'' (small).

==In other games==
[[File:Masters Nugget.png|thumb|128px|A Nugget in {{g|Masters EX}}]]
===Pokémon Masters EX===
Nuggets were introduced as the exchange currency in the [[solo event]] [[Pasio Gold Rush]]. Players could earn Nuggets as rewards from battles in this event, which could be exchanged in the {{mas|shop}} for items. Like most other event items, any Nuggets that have not been exchanged in the shop at the end of the event period were automatically exchanged for coins. However, Nuggets are exchanged for coins at a rate 100 times higher than other event items, at 1,000 coins each.

Nuggets returned as the exchange currency for the [[special event]] {{DL|special event|Rolling in Gold}}, though they could only be earned in the [[ranked damage event]] {{DL|ranked damage event|Aim for the Top}}. Here, players earned Nuggets as rewards for reaching total score milestones across the three Super Sparring battles.

==In animation==
[[File:Man of Mystery anime.png|thumb|250px|A Nugget in {{aniseries|SM}}]]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|SM}}====
A Nugget appeared in ''[[SM073|Why Not Give Me a Z-Ring Sometime?]]'', where a man was seen polishing it, only to have it stolen by an item-snatching {{p|Gengar}} [[nickname]]d "the Greedy Rapooh".

===Pokémon Evolutions===
In ''[[PE08|The Discovery]]'', a Nugget was held by a man overseeing the {{rt|24|Kanto|Nugget Bridge}} as he watched {{ga|Green}} effortlessly defeat all the Trainers on the bridge.
{{-}}

==In the TCG==
[[File:NuggetRebelClash162.jpg|200px|thumb|Nugget in the TCG]]
{{main|Nugget (Rebel Clash 162)}}
'''Nugget''' was introduced as an {{TCG|Item card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Sword & Shield Series (the Japanese Sword & Shield Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Rebellion Crash}} and the English {{TCG|Rebel Clash}} expansions, with artwork by [[sadaji]]. It allows the player to draw three cards if the card was drawn at the start of the turn.
{{-}}

== Merchandise ==
[[File:Pokémon PE Cafe Nugget.jpg|thumb|250x250px|Pokémon Let's Go! Pikachu & Eevee Cafe limited-edition Nugget]]
Real-life Nugget replicas that could be used as paperweights have been sold at the timely limited [[Pokémon Let's Go! Pikachu & Eevee Cafe]] in November 2019 in limited quantities.

10 of these replicas were also given out as prizes for retweeting Twitter account @poke_times announcements about the event.{{-}}

==Trivia==
* The man which offers two Nuggets on [[Kanto Route 2]] in [[Gold & Silver]] and [[HeartGold & SoulSilver]] is implied to the same man which digs the [[Three Isle Path]] in [[FireRed & LeafGreen]], as he also offers two Nuggets to the player and mentions buying a house in mainland [[Kanto]]. This same man later re-appears in [[Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon]] in the [[Ula'ula Ferry Terminal]], offering the player a Nugget and mentioning his background as a miner in the [[Sevii Islands]].
** Whether this man is the same one handing out Nuggets in [[Sinnoh Route 229]] and the [[Mauville City]]'s third floor, is unclear. As is any connection to the Nugget Brothers in [[Chargestone Cave]].
*** This running gag of a man handing out Nuggets was acknowledged in the [[Pasio Gold Rush]] [[solo event]] in [[Pokémon Masters EX]], where several characters recall their run-ins with men handing out Nuggets, and postulate if some of them might have ran into the same person.
{{PA|section}}
* The Japanese name for the item—きんのたま (''kin no tama'')—literally meaning "golden ball", can also be a slang term for testicles. This lends itself to some dirty jokes regarding the item throughout the games, most notably, the aforementioned running gag of a man handing out Nuggets (often specifically two of them) to the player.

'''Celio''' (Japanese: '''ニシキ''' ''Nishiki'') is a [[Pokémon Storage System]] programmer in the [[Sevii Islands]] and good friend of [[Bill]].

==In the core series games==
Celio runs the [[Pokémon Network Center]] on [[One Island]] in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. He needs the {{player}}'s help to finish the incomplete Pokémon Network machine. This machine is capable of transferring Pokémon between [[Kanto]] and [[Hoenn]]. Communication with Hoenn will not function until the {{i|Ruby}} and {{i|Sapphire}} have been collected by the player. To assist with this quest, Celio will give the [[Rainbow Pass]] and upgrade the [[Town Map]] so it shows the locations of the final four Sevii Islands. If the map had not previously been obtained, he will give the map for Kanto as well. According to Bill via the [[Fame Checker]], Celio was praising the work that the player had done for him.

*Upon the player's arrival
:''"<sc>Bill</sc>! I can't believe you came out here."''
:''"That's really impressive. I hate to say it, but I have zero aptitude for battling. Anyways, I'm glad to meet you."''
:''"It's running fine, but we're too remote out here. The PCs on this island just can't link with your PC, <sc>Bill</sc>."''
:''"<Player>, if you are going to <sc>Two Island</sc>, please take this."''
:''"It's a <sc>Pass</sc> for the ferry service serving the local islands. It will let you travel between the <sc>Islands One</sc>, <sc>Two</sc> and <sc>Three</sc>. Oh, you should have this, too."''

*If talked to again
:''"I'm sorry for taking up so much of <sc>Bill</sc>'s time. I'm also sorry for being such a poor host on your visit here."''

*After saving Lostelle
:''"The job went incredibly quick. <sc>Bill</sc> is one amazing guy..."''
:''"Oh, really? Ehehe..."''
:''"<Player>, I'm really sorry that we sent you off alone today. I promise, I will show you around these islands sometime."''

*If the player returns before obtaining National Pokédex
:''"Hello! You look awfully busy as always. How am I doing? Well, I'm modifying my Network Machine. When I get done with the machine, I hope you'll be first to use it, <player>."''

*After obtaining National Pokédex
:''"<Player>, how have things been for you? Oh, is that right? You've caught more {{ScPkmn}}. Do you know what? Maybe I can be useful to you. I'm modifying the Network Machine right now. I'm changing it so it can handle trades over long distances. When I get finished, you'll be trading for exotic {{ScPkmn}} from <sc>Trainers</sc> far away. But, there is a slight catch. For the link to work, the Machine needs a special gemstone. It's supposed to be on <sc>One Island</sc>, but I haven't found one yet. Who knows where it could be."''

*If talked to again before delivering the Ruby
:''"I was trying to find the gem even while I was studying. As a result, I've made no headway in both my search and studies... If I relied on <sc>Bill</sc>, I'm sure my research would progress. But this time, I want to try to do things by myself."''

*After delivering the Ruby
:''"Oh! Th-that's..."''
:''"Thank you! <Player>, you're simply amazing. ... ... ... ... Um... May I ask one more giant favor of you?"''
::'''No''': ''"It... It's not anything weird. Please, I need your help."''
::'''Yes''': ''"While I was studying gemstones, I discovered something important. There is another gem that forms a pair with this <sc>Ruby</sc>. That other gemstone is supposed to be in the <sc>Sevii Islands</sc>. <Player>, please, I need you to go find the other gem. <Player>, may I have your ferry <sc>Pass</sc> and the <sc>Town Map</sc>?"''
:''"This is my own ferry <sc>Pass</sc>. It will let you get to all the <sc>Sevii Islands</sc>. <Player>, please, I can't do it without your help."''

*After delivering the Sapphire
:''"So this is the gem that forms a pair with the Ruby... <Player>, you've gone through a lot to get this, didn't you? You don't have to tell me. I know it wasn't easy. Thank you so much! Now it's my turn to work for you! Please give me a little time."''
:''"Okay, this is good..."''
:''"I did it! I linked up with <sc>Lanette</sc>! <Player>... <Player>, I did it! I've managed to link up with <sc>Trainers</sc> in the <sc>Hoenn</sc> region! Finally, the Network Machine is fully operational! <Player>, I owe it all to you! Thanks to you, my dream came true..."''

*If talked to again
:''"I... I'm not crying. That's enough about me! <Player>, you're going to keep looking for exotic {{ScPkmn}}, right? I wish you the best of luck!"''

[[File:Adventures storage system developers.png|thumb|210px|Celio with [[Lanette]], [[Brigette]], and {{adv|Bill}} in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
====History====
====={{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen}}=====
{{adv|Red}}, {{adv|Blue}}, and {{adv|Bill}} visited Celio on [[One Island]] and left an unconscious {{adv|Green}} in his care after she was attacked by {{adv|Deoxys}}. He later helped her escape by wrestling away the angry mob trying to capture her. Later, in ''[[PS295|Double Down Deoxys]]'', Celio aided Bill in raiding the [[Rocket Warehouse]] and removing the {{i|Ruby}} and {{i|Sapphire}} gems placed on an amplifier which had allowed Deoxys to assume its {{form|Deoxys|Normal and Speed Formes}} in [[Kanto]] and the [[Sevii Islands]], allowing {{adv|Mewtwo}} to defeat it aboard the [[Team Rocket airship]].

====={{MangaArc|Emerald}}=====
Celio made a cameo appearance in ''[[PS337|Epilogue]]'', where he was seen on the [[Seagallop|Seagallop Ferry]], heading for the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.

'''Lorelei''' (Japanese: '''カンナ''' ''Kanna'') is an {{type|Ice}} {{pkmn|Trainer}} and member of the [[Indigo Plateau|Indigo]] [[Elite Four]].

==In the core series games==
Lorelei is the first Trainer of the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]] in [[Generation I|Generations I]], {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}}. She is known for her logical, calculated, and cool style of battling. Her {{p|Lapras}} has been with her ever since she was a child. She {{pkmn2|caught}} it in [[Icefall Cave]] when she was very young. [[Misty]] idolizes her.

In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, it is revealed that Lorelei grew up on [[Four Island]]. She returns to her home to protect Icefall Cave from [[Team Rocket]] during the post-game. She also collects stuffed [[Pokémon doll]]s that she keeps in her house on {{OBP|Four Island|town}}, increasing her collection by one doll every 25th time the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]].

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Lorelei appears on {{rt|10|Kanto}} when the {{player}} is attacked by a group of {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s and helps them defeat them.

Her whereabouts in [[Generation II|Generations II]] and {{gen|IV}} are unknown, as she is no longer a member of the Elite Four, and no mention of her is made, though dialogue present in FireRed and LeafGreen indicates that she may have given up her position among the Elite Four to protect her friends and family in the [[Sevii Islands]]. Her spot in the Elite Four is now filled by [[Will]].

[[File:Lorelei anime.png|thumb|250px|Lorelei in {{aniseries|OS}}, known as Prima in this [[canon]]]]
====History====
====={{aniseries|OS}}=====
Lorelei appeared in ''[[EP099|The Mandarin Island Miss Match]]''. Her name was changed to '''Prima''' in the English [[dub]] of the episode. In this episode, the dub also referred to Prima as a [[Pokémon Master]] rather than an [[Elite Four]] member.

While on [[Mandarin Island South]], {{Tracey}} learned that Prima will be giving a lecture and {{pkmn|battle}} demonstration there. He also revealed that she has a house on the island and trains there during her sabbaticals. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} had a chance encounter with Prima while sitting down at a café. {{an|Misty}} was very excited, as Prima was her idol. Ash enthusiastically challenged Prima to a battle, but she didn't notice him and instead gravitated towards [[Misty's Togepi]]. Prima did, however, watch Ash's match against a {{pkmn|Trainer}}, and stepped in with her {{p|Slowbro}} after [[Ash's Charizard]] was being disobedient, allowing Ash to [[recall]] him back to his {{i|Poké Ball}}. Prima then invited the group to her lecture and demonstration.

Ash and the others went on to attend Prima's demonstration at the Mandarin Stadium and watched her defeat three Trainers in a row. The group then visited her home. After Ash insisted once again, Prima finally agreed to a one-on-one battle. Ash sent out {{AP|Pikachu}} and Prima selected her {{TP|Lorelei|Cloyster}}, and Ash went on to lose the match. Prima said that Ash had the potential to become great, but needed to find more of his inner strength, since he had forgotten to connect with his Pokémon.

Just then, {{TRT}} arrived on the scene, but Prima sent out her {{p|Jynx}} and dealt with them swiftly. Afterwards, she wished the group well and informed Ash that the closest [[Gym]] was the [[Trovita Gym]].

====={{aniseries|GS}}=====
Prima and her advice to Ash were mentioned by Misty in ''[[EP140|Wired for Battle!]]'', where the dub correctly referred to her as an Elite Four member.

====Character====
Prima takes time out of her busy schedule to relax on [[Mandarin Island South]] and admire nature. She claims her strategy in life is to go with the flow like water, but to become as hard as ice in {{pkmn|battle}}.

Prima's skills are highly regarded and she makes frequent appearances in the media, though she is dismissive of her fame and the praise of others. Instead, she mentors up-and-coming {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and hosts her own lectures. In particular, she teaches Trainers to find their inner strength and value the connection they have with their Pokémon. According to the dub, she also sells her lectures as tapes, but for expensive prices.

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

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Lorelei Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Lorelei in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
====History====
====={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}=====
Lorelei was briefly seen in ''[[PS040|A Charizard...and a Champion]]'' with her fellow Elite Four, watching the finals of the Pokémon League.

====={{MangaArc|Yellow}}=====
Lorelei is a villainess in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga. She is one of the Elite Four and, along with [[Bruno]], [[Agatha]], and [[Lance]], tried to take over the world and kill all humans who weren't nice to Pokémon. She keeps a small webcam in a cosmetics case to communicate with Agatha and has the ability to make voodoo dolls out of ice. Lorelei was recruited by Agatha when she was little and healed her Seel. Agatha found out that they both hated human's cruelty towards Pokémon, so Lorelei joined the Elite Four.

Lorelei froze {{adv|Red}} and [[Sabrina]] in ice, causing them severe injuries that continued to harm them for several years. She later found {{adv|Yellow}} and Bill in [[Viridian Forest]] and attacked them with her Dewgong and Cloyster. She used their combined powers to make an "{{m|Icicle Spear|Ice Spike Cannon}}" to bury the two of them alive but Yellow used Pikachu to study the move from inside its Poké Ball. Yellow read Pikachu's mind and knocked out Cloyster, making the attack useless. Lorelei then gave chase to her and Bill and, once they jumped into a river, Lorelei froze it over. Lorelei then started asking questions about Yellow's power and if she could read Pika's past thoughts. Before these questions were answered, Yellow had [[Ratty]] use {{m|Hyper Fang}} through the iceberg and free them. When Lorelei was about to send out her Pokémon once again, Green deflected her Poké Ball and Yellow and Bill got away. Lorelei then contacted Agatha with her cosmetics case about Yellow's ability and proclaims that if Yellow's power grows she will be able to read the past memories of Pika and learn the details of Red and Bruno's battle. She then delegated Yellow as the new target of the Elite Four.

After this, Lorelei had her Shellder and Cloyster attack [[Celadon City]] in order to stall [[Erika]].

{{adv|Green}} and Sabrina battle Lorelei on [[Cerise Island]]. Lorelei used her voodoo dolls to chain Green and Sabrina together and eventually freeze them, just as she had done to Red. The lack of teamwork between Green and Sabrina got Green knocked out (Green was being targeted since she was the one who had humiliated Lorelei in her battle with Yellow). After a while Green woke up and was able to save herself and Sabrina with [[Blasty]] before they fell off a cliff. She had her Clefable use {{m|Minimize}} to steal the dolls from Lorelei, having Blasty break the two dolls and inadvertently severing Green's arm in the process. It was then revealed that the whole time her arm was actually Ditty and that getting her arm "cut off" was part of her plan and had Ditty tie her up. Sabrina suffered from lasting injuries caused by Lorelei's ice cuffs. As a result, she and Red were forced to deal with painful wounds for a very long time.

====={{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen}}=====
Lorelei vanished for several years, and only returned when she saved Red and {{adv|Blue}} from Team Rocket's Three Beasts in [[Icefall Cave]]. Lorelei decided to ally herself with Red and Blue because Team Rocket invaded her home {{OBP|Four Island|town}} of the [[Sevii Islands]]. She battled against [[Sird]] on [[Seven Island]], but was defeated after Sird distracted her with the {{p|Unown}} she had released from the [[Tanoby Chambers]]. Lorelei managed to wrap her Jynx's icy breath around Sird's leg, allowing her to track her moves. At the end of the arc, detecting that Sird was nearby, Lorelei attempted to freeze her over as payback for her defeat, but Sird managed to break the ice before she was completely frozen over and escape.

====={{MangaArc|Emerald}}=====
Lorelei makes a cameo appearance in ''[[PS337|Epilogue]]'', heading to the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} aboard the [[Seagallop|Seagallop ferry]].

[[File:Lorelei PM.png|thumb|120px|Lorelei as a teacher]]
[[File:Lorelei 2 PM.png|thumb|left|130px|Lorelei in Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]
Lorelei debuts in ''[[PM033|To the Pokémon League!!]]'' as the first Elite Four member who is challenged by {{PPM|Red}}. She is first seen welcoming Red to the Pokémon League, disguising herself as a teacher. She takes Red to her school and introduces him to her Pokémon. In the school, she gives him and his Pokémon some math assignments and shows them to some plants. After Pikachu managed to get a perfect score on a math assignment, she shows them to the plants and tricks Clefairy by holding a giant magnifying glass by the sun and using the rays to burn Clefairy, with Slowbro shooting water to cool him off. Then, Lorelei decides to serve everyone food. She pulled another trick on Clefairy by hiding her Cloyster in Clefairy's bowl, making him accidentally eat Cloyster. During the physical education class where the Pokémon had to jump over a beam, her Jynx managed to perform it very well and switched the bouncer to make it where Clefairy landed on it. This is where Lorelei revealed herself to be the first member of the Elite Four.

Lorelei had her Pokémon attack Clefairy and Pikachu. However, her Jynx ran off after she failed to immobilize Clefairy and her Lapras and Dewgong were zapped by Pikachu. After the battle, Lorelei and Red shook hands, congratulating Red for a job well done.

==Trivia==
* In [[The Four-Star Challenge|the novelization]] of [[EP099|the animated series episode]] where Lorelei appeared, she is still referred to as Prima except for one error near the novelization's ending, where she is called Lorelei.
* Lorelei is the only member of the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]] to not use two Pokémon of the same species at once. [[Bruno]] has two {{TP|Bruno|Onix}}, [[Agatha]] has two {{TP|Agatha|Gengar}}, and [[Lance]] has two {{p|Dragonair}}.
* Lorelei is the only Elite Four member of the Indigo Plateau that does not use a fully evolved Pokémon from a three-stage evolutionary line in any of her battles.
* Lorelei was the first Elite Four member to be seen outside the Pokémon League in the games, appearing outside of the League in [[Generation III]].
** In [[Generation II]], Lance appears outside the Pokémon League. However, he is the {{pkmn|Champion}} rather than an Elite Four member at the time.
* Lorelei is one of few members of any Elite Four to have a [[Four Island|home]] shown {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|in-game|s}}, the others being [[Caitlin]], [[Hala]], [[Olivia]], and [[Acerola]].
* In the {{pmin|France|French}} localizations of [[Generation I]] games, as well as {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, Lorelei is depicted with a stereotypical and prominent German accent.
* In the [[Generation I]] [[core series]] {{pkmn|games}}, the battles against Lorelei, Bruno, and Agatha use the standard Trainer battle theme, while the Gym Leader battle theme is played only against Lance. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the Gym Leader battle theme plays during the battles against all four members of the Elite Four.
* In the Generation III games, all of Lorelei's Pokémon are female during the first battle against her, but during the [[rematch]], they're all male instead, excluding {{p|Jynx}}, which is an all-female [[Pokémon (species)|species]].
* Despite being an {{type|Ice}} specialist, Lorelei uses an equal number of {{t|Water}}- and Ice-type Pokémon in her initial teams.
* In [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], during [[Mission (Legends: Z-A)#Side missions|Side Mission #102: "A Chilling Challenge"]], {{tc|Ace Trainer}} Glace directly [[Lorelei/Quotes#Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow|quotes Lorelei from Generation I]] and refers to her as her favorite Trainer.

'''Huge Power''' (Japanese: '''ちからもち''' ''Muscleman'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation III]]. Prior to [[Generation VI]], it was the [[signature Ability]] of {{p|Marill}}'s [[evolution]]ary line.

==Effect==
===In battle===
Huge Power doubles the {{stat|Attack}} stat of the Pokémon with this Ability.

Because it is an Attack modifier and not a stat stage change, it will double the user's effective Attack stat when using {{m|Foul Play}} or {{m|Body Press}}.

====Generation IV====
Huge Power also affects self-inflicted {{status|confusion}} damage.

====Generation V onward====
Huge Power no longer affects confusion damage.

===Outside of battle===
Huge Power has no effect outside of battle.

|}

==In other games==
==={{g|Mystery Dungeon series}}===
Huge Power has a one-in-three chance of boosting a [[physical move]] by 50% when such an attack is used. The chance of activating appears to be lower in {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}.

==={{g|UNITE}}===
In {{g|UNITE}}, Huge Power is {{p|Azumarill}}'s Ability. When the user hits only a single opposing Pokémon with a basic attack, a move, or its Unite Move, the hit is guaranteed to be a critical hit. However, when the user hits two or more opposing Pokémon at once with a basic attack, a move, or its Unite Move, the hits are never critical hits.

==Trivia==
* Its Japanese name appears to be a pun, as ちからもち (''chikaramochi'') is readable as both "muscleman" or "strengthening {{wp|mochi}}".
** This could explain why rabbit-like Pokémon, such as [[Azumarill]] and [[Diggersby]] have this ability, being a reference to the {{wp|moon rabbit}}, which is commonly depicted preparing mochi in Japanese folklore.
** It could also explain why Mega Mawile has this ability, as its apparent inspiration, the ''{{wp|futakuchi-onna}}'' is commonly depicted eating mochi.

'''Pachirisu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パチリス''' ''Pachirisu'') is an {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

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

Along with {{p|Starly}} and {{p|Munchlax}}, Pachirisu is one of the three {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Ranger}} of [[Almia]] available at the beginning of {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}.

==Biology==
Pachirisu is a small, white squirrel-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a faint blueish tint and a light blue stripe starting from its forehead and goes all the way down to the tip of the tail. A female Pachirisu's blue stripe is shorter than a male's. A large white tooth grows out of its mouth. It has deep gray eyes and a yellow circle on each cheek. Its tail is almost twice as big as its body, with three spikes at the top of the curl, which it can use to shoot charges. Though its arms and legs are very short, it can run incredibly fast, enabling it to tire pursuing Pokémon out quickly. It has a great amount of electricity flowing within its body. If it builds up enough charge, it may shock other Pokémon. It is related to the {{p|Pikachu}} line.

When it sleeps, Pachirisu likes to curl its big, fluffy tail round to the front of its body and uses it as a pillow. It also likes to chase and groom its tail. When a Pachirisu sheds its fur it shapes them into furballs, which have static charges just like its fur. It hides its favorite {{pkmn|food}}s—which mainly consist of berries—in these static puffs and stores them in tree holes. It does this to protect the food; if a human or another Pokémon tries to take the food, they will get shocked from the static. It may rub cheek pouches with another Pachirisu to share stored electricity. It is generally found in treetops in forests, as well as the outskirts of a forest and near power plants.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}: Pachirisu can be chosen to be the player's [[Partner Pokémon (Ranger)|Starter Partner Pokémon]], or can be obtained by clearing a quest in [[Ranger School]].
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}}: Pachirisu is a regular visitor of [[Spinda's Cafe]].

==Trivia==
[[File:PBRTaylor.png|thumb|125px|Taylor's Pachirisu costume]]
* In {{g|Battle Revolution}}, {{OBP|Taylor|Battle Revolution}} wears a Pachirisu costume.
* Pachirisu is the only Pokémon allowed in [[Amity Square]] that is not part of an [[List of Pokémon by evolutionary line|evolutionary line]].
* Pachirisu has the lowest [[List of Pokémon by base stats|base stat total]] of any Pokémon that was part of a winning team of Pokémon [[World Championships]].
* Pachirisu is the only Pokémon that can learn {{m|Hyper Fang}} to not be a {{type|Normal}}.
* Pachirisu was featured in the second episode of [[Beyond the Pokédex]] series.

===Origin===
Pachirisu may be based on a {{wp|squirrel}}, possibly the {{wp|red squirrel}} in specific, which is found in great abundance in the Japanese island of {{wp|Hokkaido}} (which the [[Sinnoh]] region is based on), but nowhere else in Japan, due to the {{wp|Japanese squirrel}} taking its place. The spikes on its tail (and possibly its ears) could be a reference to {{wp|static electricity}}'s impact on hair.

The electric rodent design may come from tradition of creating a [[Electric_rodents|variant]] of the Pokémon franchise's main mascot, {{p|Pikachu}}, in every generation, and like Pikachu's, the yellow cheeks of Pachirisu store electricity reflecting rodents storing food in their cheeks.

====Name origin====
Pachirisu may be a combination of パチパチ ''pachipachi'' (onomatopoeia for electric crackling) and 栗鼠 ''risu'' (squirrel).

'''Mothim''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ガーメイル''' ''Gamale'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from a [[gender|male]] {{p|Burmy}} starting at [[level]] 20. It is one of Burmy's final forms, the other being {{p|Wormadam}}.

==Biology==
Mothim is a {{wp|moth}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with two pairs of wings, one pair larger than the other is. The wings are primarily tan with an orange, oval marking on each. The tips of the wings split into small, orange squares; there are three on the larger pair and two on the smaller pair. Mothim spreads steel-colored scales whenever it flaps its wings. Mothim's head has orange semi-circular eyes with gray, orange-tipped antennae running along the edges before extending and widening at the top. Its body is black with a patch of orange on the underside and a gray stripe down its back. It also has four gray legs and a small black tail that splits into two squares.

Mothim is a nomadic, nocturnal Pokémon that always remains on the move, searching for flower [[honey]] and nectar. It has often been seen traveling in fields and mountains. Despite its diet, Mothim is never seen near any flower gardens. This is because, instead of gathering honey on its own, Mothim raids the hives of {{p|Combee}} for honey. It is a male-only species, with {{p|Wormadam}} as its female counterpart.

===Evolution===
Mothim evolves from [[Gender|male]] {{p|Burmy}} and is one of the final forms of the species, the other being {{p|Wormadam}}.

===Form data===
Despite not having any [[form]] differences, Mothim technically has three forms based on the {{fd|Burmy|cloak}} of {{p|Burmy}} it evolves from, though this is only shown in its internal data.

However, a Mothim from {{g|GO}} will always be in the Plant Cloak form if evolved from a Burmy whilst still in GO. The Trash and Sandy Cloak forms of Mothim can still be obtained by transferring Burmy to {{g|Legends: Arceus}} first and then evolving there.

==Trivia==
* Mothim and Wormadam are the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 424.
* Before [[Generation VIII]], the {{p|Burmy}} family had only been obtainable with their [[Hidden Ability]] in the [[Pokémon Dream World]]. Due to the closure of the [[Pokémon Global Link]], the Burmy family could no longer be obtained with their Hidden Ability, except by trading between games and {{pkmn|breeding}}. The Burmy family's Hidden Ability can currently be obtained via the [[Ability Patch]].
* {{p|Burmy}}, {{p|Wormadam}}, Mothim, {{p|Geodude}}, {{p|Graveler}} and {{p|Golem}} are the only Pokémon in all five [[List of Pokémon by Hisui Pokédex number|Hisui Pokédex]] sublistings.
* In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, wild Mothim will always be in their standard form (which evolves from Plant Cloak Burmy), despite only spawning in locations where Sandy or Trash Cloak Burmy appear.

===Origin===
Mothim appears to be based on a fully mature male {{wp|bag moth}}. By contrast, [[Wormadam|its female counterpart]], appears to be based on female bag moths, which never fully mature, living in cocoons and remaining wingless their whole lives. Given its honey-thieving behavior, it may also be inspired by a {{wp|hawk moth}}, in particular the {{wp|Acherontia styx|lesser death's head hawkmoth}}, commonly known as the "bee robber".

Its bird-like silhouette and antennae that resemble {{wp|hawk}} feathers may play on “hawk moth” while simultaneously referencing the Slavic {{wp|cikavac}} (''“squeaker”''), a pouch-wielding avian familiar with a penchant for stealing milk and honey. Its thoracic stripe may symbolize a pouch opening, referencing not only the cikavac but also creating a visual pun on "bag moth."

====Name origin====
Mothim may be a combination of ''{{wp|moth}}'' and ''him''. It may also involve ''nim'' (to steal or take).

Gamale may be a combination of 蛾 ''ga'' (moth) and ''male''. It may also double as a pun on がめる ''gameru'' (to swipe or pilfer).

'''Wormadam''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミノマダム''' ''Minomadam'') is a {{type|Bug}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from a [[gender|female]] {{p|Burmy}} starting at [[level]] 20. It is one of Burmy's final forms, the other being {{p|Mothim}}.

It has one of three different secondary types: {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Ground}}, or {{t|Steel}}, determined by its [[#Form data|cloak]]. Its cloak is permanent and determined by the cloak that Burmy was in when it evolved.
* In its '''Plant Cloak''', it is dual-type {{2t|Bug|Grass}}.
* In its '''Sandy Cloak''', it is dual-type {{2t|Bug|Ground}}.
* In its '''Trash Cloak''', it is dual-type {{2t|Bug|Steel}}.

==Biology==
Wormadam is a black, bagworm-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a coat of plants, sand, or garbage, the last of which resembles building insulation. It has oval eyes, a long pointed beak, and a long antenna with a coiled tip. The beak is tipped with varying colors depending on the coat. The coat forms a pair of arm-like structures near this Pokémon's head. It is a female-only species, with {{p|Mothim}} as its male counterpart.

===Forms===
Wormadam has three separate forms: Plant Cloak, Sandy Cloak, and Trash Cloak.

The Plant Cloak form has several white flowers covering it and gives Wormadam a green-tipped beak and large leaves for arms. It will be dotted with reddish-brown rocks, and have chains of pebbles for arms and a brown tipped beak if it has the Sandy Cloak. When covered by the Trash Cloak, it has a pink-tipped beak and long, dark pink ribbons for arms. Wormadam that evolve on cold days are said to form thicker cloaks.

Unlike Burmy, Wormadam's cloak is a part of its body, with the fusion being suspected to have been caused by the energy generated by its Evolution. Its cloak acts similar to fur and skin and never sheds. Sandy Cloak Wormadam's cloak is an effective defense, capable of repelling a {{p|Starly}}'s pecking with ease, whereas Trash Cloak Wormadam uses its cloak as camouflage, as it helps it hide from predators.

|}

===Evolution===
Wormadam evolves from [[Gender|female]] {{p|Burmy}} and is one of the final forms of the species, the other being {{p|Mothim}}. Its cloak is determined by the cloak that Burmy was in when it evolved. Unlike Burmy, Wormadam cannot change forms.

==Trivia==
[[File:School Kid Ann Sandy Wormadam Leaf Storm BW.png|frame|Sandy Cloak Wormadam using Leaf Storm in {{v2|Black and White|s}}]]
* Wormadam and its {{p|Burmy|pre-Evolution}} share their {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Pineco}} and {{p|Forretress}}. They are all known as the Bagworm Pokémon.
* Wormadam and {{p|Mothim}} are the only Pokémon with base stat totals of 424.
* In {{game|Black and White|s}}, {{tc|School Kid}} Ann on {{rt|12|Unova}} has a Sandy Cloak Wormadam that knows {{m|Leaf Storm}}, a move that Sandy Cloak Wormadam [[Game move errors|cannot learn by any means]]; it is instead learned by Plant Cloak Wormadam. This Wormadam should instead know {{m|Fissure}}.
* Prior to [[Generation VI]], Wormadam's shape was [[File:Body02.png|32px]].
* Prior to [[Generation VII]], all Wormadam forms were classified by [[List of Pokémon by color|Pokédex color]] sorting as gray.
* Before [[Generation VIII]], the {{p|Burmy}} family had only been obtainable with their [[Hidden Ability]] in the [[Pokémon Dream World]]. Due to the closure of the [[Pokémon Global Link]], the Burmy family could no longer be obtained with their Hidden Ability, except by trading between games and {{pkmn|breeding}}. The Burmy family's Hidden Ability can currently be obtained via the [[Ability Patch]].
* {{p|Burmy}}, Wormadam, {{p|Mothim}}, {{p|Geodude}}, {{p|Graveler}} and {{p|Golem}} are the only Pokémon in all five [[List of Pokémon by Hisui Pokédex number|Hisui Pokédex]] sublistings.

===Origin===
Wormadam appears to be based on the adult stage of a female {{wp|bag moth}}, which (in most cases) never develop wings and remain in their cocoon lifelong. By contrast, [[Mothim|its male counterpart]] appears to be based on a fully mature male bag moth, which go through a similar life cycle to other moth species, developing wings and leaving their cocoons.

Wormadam may also draw inspiration from {{wp|Baba Yaga}}, its antenna and bag resembling her flying {{wp|mortar and pestle}} as well as a {{wp|besom|broom}}. Its having three forms may reference there being three Baba Yaga in some tales.

Individually, Wormadam's forms may draw further inspiration from other {{wp|Slavic paganism|Slavic}} witches. Plant Cloak may draw inspiration from the "Forest Mother" ''Gorska Maika'', Sandy Cloak the cave-dwelling ''Baba Roga'', and Trash Cloak the iron-nosed ''Vasorrú Bába''.

====Name origin====
Wormadam may be a combination of ''{{wp|bagworm}}'' and ''madam''.

Minomadam may be a combination of 蓑虫 ''minomushi'' (bagworm) and ''madam''.

'''Glittering Cave''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|輝きの洞窟|かがやきのどうくつ}}''' ''Glittering Cave'') is a [[cave]] in southern [[Kalos]]. It is where the {{player}} initially encounters [[Team Flare]].

==Geography==
The first part of the cave is a long, narrow entrance cave with several detours. All these detours lead to dead ends, however. The cave walls are covered in [[Luminous Moss]] and crystals, illuminating the cave interior. There are nine predetermined spots in this section of the cave that may contain dark shadows, and upon running into one, a [[wild Pokémon]] will leap out of the shadow and attack. These encounters cannot be avoided with {{cat|Repels}}. Each time the player enters this section of the map, five of the spots will be randomly chosen to contain shadows; upon leaving and reentering the area, the random spots will respawn and be reshuffled.

At the end of the narrow cave is a larger, open cave, where a couple of rock-filled mine carts can be found. This is also where the {{tc|Scientist}}s from the {{to|Ambrette}} Fossil Lab come to dig for [[Fossil]]s. When the player first visits the cave, [[Team Flare]] members can be found here, trying to steal Fossils in order to sell them for profit.

==Items==

==Trivia==
* The Glittering Cave may be a reference to the [http://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Glittering_Caves Glittering Caves] from {{wp|J. R. R. Tolkien}}'s ''{{wp|The Lord of the Rings}}''. Both appear as a network of tunnels lined with crystals.
* In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, a stone from this cave is on display in the [[Rustboro Gym]] with a description that reads "A Kalos stone."
* After being given the [[Drive]]s by the {{tc|Hiker}} in [[Ambrette Town]], he mentions that {{p|Genesect}} are rumored to have been found in Glittering Cave. However, there is no Genesect to be found in Glittering Cave.
* According to [[Junichi Masuda]] at the 17th {{wp|Japan Expo}} event in Paris, France, the Glittering Cave was inspired by the {{wp|Catacombs of Paris}}.<ref name=MasterclassJE2016>Masuda, Junichi (July 7, 2016).

Poké Ball Factory

|translated_name=Ball Factory
|mapdesc=An expansive factory where every Poké Ball used in the Kalos region is produced.

The '''Poké Ball Factory''' (Japanese: '''ボール{{tt|工場|こうじょう}}''' ''Ball Factory'') is a facility located north of [[Laverre City]] in [[Kalos]], responsible for manufacturing all kinds of [[Poké Ball]]s.

The factory is mostly automated and only a few people reside there to observe the process. They also give tours to show people how Poké Balls are created. The Poké Balls manufactured here are delivered to all [[Poké Mart]]s in Kalos.

==Geography==
The Poké Ball Factory area is proceeded by a paved walkway, decorated with [[Poké Ball]] statues. The factory area consists of the factory itself and the yards, where two small hedge mazes reside. Inside the factory, two conveyor belts run through the building, allowing the {{player}} to move around. The direction of the conveyor belts can be temporarily reversed from a computer at the southwest corner of the facility. Three staircases (one of which is initially blocked) allow the player to enter the second floor, where two small rooms are located. One of them is reserved for the workers of the factory, while the other one is the Poké Ball Factory President's office.

After defeating [[Valerie]] at the [[Laverre Gym]], [[Shauna]] and [[Trevor]] will invite the player to visit the Poké Ball Factory with them. It then turns out that the factory has been taken over by [[Team Flare]], and a {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}} is standing at the door, initially preventing the player from entering the factory. If the player talks to Shauna at the walkway, she will go talk to the Team Flare Grunt again, only to get chased away. With the door cleared, the player can enter the factory, where another Team Flare Grunt is standing as a guard. {{ga|Calem}} or {{ga|Serena}} will stay to {{pkmn|battle}} the Team Flare Grunt while the player makes their way through the factory. When the player reaches the President's office, where a {{tc|Team Flare Admin}} is trying to convince him to join them, Calem or Serena will join the player in a [[Multi Battle]] against the {{tc|Team Flare}} Scientists [[Celosia]] and [[Bryony]]. Once they are defeated, Team Flare leaves the factory and the President awards the player with a [[Master Ball]] and a [[Big Nugget]].

===={{aniseries|XY}}====
The Poké Ball Factory appeared in ''[[XY079|A Frenzied Factory Fiasco!]]''. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} came to visit the factory, but were tricked by a disguised {{TRT}}, who were pretending to be factory workers. They tricked Ash and his friends into handing them all their Pokémon, including {{AP|Pikachu}} in a container and Pikachu's Poké Ball. After trapping the group into an empty room and believing to have successfully caught Pikachu, Team Rocket started stealing the Poké Balls of the factory, only to notice that Pikachu had managed to avoid being [[Recall|returned]] to his Poké Ball and was still on the loose. Meowth gave chase to Pikachu while Jessie and James loaded the stolen Poké Balls into their truck.

Thanks to one of {{an|Clemont}}'s [[Clemontic Gear|inventions]], the group managed to break out of the room, forcing Team Rocket to flee. However, before they could get away, Ash stopped their truck with Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Meowth then challenged Pikachu to a battle, during which he made one last-ditch effort to catch Pikachu, but failed, and Ash managed to recover Pikachu's Poké Ball. After Team Rocket had been sent blasting off by a falling Poké Ball statue, all the stolen Pokémon and Poké Balls were recovered, and the trapped factory workers were freed. As a reward, the group was offered a tour around the factory.

The Poké Ball Factory was first mentioned in ''[[PS564|Corphish Pinches]]'' when {{adv|Tierno}} accidentally encountered a {{tc|Team Flare Admin}} at {{rt|5|Kalos}}. From the files she dropped, he found out that [[Team Flare]] was planning to infiltrate the facility, their intention being to stop the production of [[Poké Ball]]s in Kalos and prevent those they deemed unworthy from being capable of catching Pokémon.

The factory was mentioned again in ''[[PS577|Quilladin Stands]]'', where [[Valerie]] revealed how she and the other Kalos [[Gym Leader]]s, aside from [[Viola]] and [[Korrina]], had first learned about Team Flare when she had noticed its members entering the facility.

In ''[[PS583|Scizor Defends]]'', Team Flare was revealed to have successfully stolen Poké Balls from the factory, with their scientists working on modifying them. These very Poké Balls were presumably later used to transport Pokémon from the [[Pokémon Village]] to {{rt|10|Kalos}} in Team Flare's second attempt to use the [[ultimate weapon]].

==Trivia==
* Poké Ball Factory shares several similarities with the [[Silph Co.]] office building in [[Saffron City]]: both places are involved in creating Poké Balls, are located in the same city or town as the sixth [[Gym]] of the region, get taken over by a [[villainous team]] at some point, and both companies' presidents reward the player with a [[Master Ball]] after they drive the villainous team out of the building.
* A {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}} found here says "Don't worry, be happy!", [[List of references to popular culture in Pokémon|referring]] to {{wp|Bobby McFerrin}}'s song ''{{wp|Don't Worry, Be Happy}}''.
* In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, a boy in the Akala Ferry Terminal in [[Heahea City]] [[List of cross-generational references|mentions]] the Poké Ball Factory, being surprised to learn that not all Poké Balls are made there. Implying they distribute to other regions.

'''Glittering Cave''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|輝きの洞窟|かがやきのどうくつ}}''' ''Glittering Cave'') is a [[cave]] in southern [[Kalos]]. It is where the {{player}} initially encounters [[Team Flare]].

==Geography==
The first part of the cave is a long, narrow entrance cave with several detours. All these detours lead to dead ends, however. The cave walls are covered in [[Luminous Moss]] and crystals, illuminating the cave interior. There are nine predetermined spots in this section of the cave that may contain dark shadows, and upon running into one, a [[wild Pokémon]] will leap out of the shadow and attack. These encounters cannot be avoided with {{cat|Repels}}. Each time the player enters this section of the map, five of the spots will be randomly chosen to contain shadows; upon leaving and reentering the area, the random spots will respawn and be reshuffled.

At the end of the narrow cave is a larger, open cave, where a couple of rock-filled mine carts can be found. This is also where the {{tc|Scientist}}s from the {{to|Ambrette}} Fossil Lab come to dig for [[Fossil]]s. When the player first visits the cave, [[Team Flare]] members can be found here, trying to steal Fossils in order to sell them for profit.

==Items==

==Trivia==
* The Glittering Cave may be a reference to the [http://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Glittering_Caves Glittering Caves] from {{wp|J. R. R. Tolkien}}'s ''{{wp|The Lord of the Rings}}''. Both appear as a network of tunnels lined with crystals.
* In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, a stone from this cave is on display in the [[Rustboro Gym]] with a description that reads "A Kalos stone."
* After being given the [[Drive]]s by the {{tc|Hiker}} in [[Ambrette Town]], he mentions that {{p|Genesect}} are rumored to have been found in Glittering Cave. However, there is no Genesect to be found in Glittering Cave.
* According to [[Junichi Masuda]] at the 17th {{wp|Japan Expo}} event in Paris, France, the Glittering Cave was inspired by the {{wp|Catacombs of Paris}}.<ref name=MasterclassJE2016>Masuda, Junichi (July 7, 2016). "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09nZFy9woGE Masterclass Pokémon avec Junichi MASUDA]." The 17th {{wp|Japan Expo}} event, Paris, France.</ref>

'''Alfornada''' (Japanese: '''ベイクタウン''' ''Bake Town'') is a town in the [[Paldea]] [[region]], located in [[South Province (Area Six)]].

Because of the [[Gym]]'s specialized type, the people of this town tend to walk around accompanied by {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon.

==Places of interest==
===Alfornada Gym===
{{main|Alfornada Gym}}
The Alfornada Gym is the official [[Gym]] of Alfornada. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Tulip]], who specializes in {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon.

===Alfornada Pokémon Center===
A [[Pokémon League representative]] at this [[Pokémon Center]] asks the {{player}} to defeat seven [[Pokémon Trainer]]s in [[South Province (Area Six)]] for a [[TM]].

===Emotional Spectrum Practice===
'''Emotional Spectrum Practice''', or '''ESP''' for short, is an exercise activity formulated by Tulip to help one become more beautiful. ESP regimens are taught by [[Dendra]] at the eastern side of town at the base of the observatory. The player must participate in two ESP sessions, featuring 10 and 15 rounds respectively under standard mode rules, as part of the Alfornada Gym Test. In subsequent visits, Dendra will continue to offer ESP sessions, in two different modes: Standard and Knockout.

During an ESP session, Dendra will prompt the player to press either the X, A, B, or Y button before a short timer expires. Each button corresponds to a color-coded emotion that the player must mimic, and it is possible for the same emotion to be chosen multiple times in a row. If the correct emotion is given, the timer will pause briefly, and the current round will be marked as a success even if the player later switches to a different emotion. No penalty is given for expressing the wrong emotion, and the timer will keep running while still allowing the player to switch to the correct emotion. It is possible to input the correct emotion multiple times in the same round, but this does not provide any additional points.

Standard mode offers four different courses of increasing difficulty (more rounds and a shorter timer per round): Nice 'n' easy, Moderate, Vigorous, and All-out. This mode will end in failure if at any point the player has accumulated seven more unsuccessful rounds than they have successful rounds, and no reward will be given in this case. If the player reaches the end of the session without having too many unsuccessful rounds, they will receive various [[Berry|Berries]] as a reward.

In Knockout mode, a single unsuccessful round at any time will end the session. Dendra will continue for a maximum of 151 prompts, divided into phases of increasing speed. After each phase, there is an opportunity to rest, in which the game will not proceed to the next phase until the player presses any button.

==Trivia==
* The battle court features all the [[menu]] sprites from the [[Generation I]] games along the outside of the building and the sidewalk, except for {{p|Pikachu}}'s sprite from {{game|Yellow}}.
* The theme that plays in this location, "ベイクタウン / Alfornada", is a subtle remix of the overworld theme used within the South Province, and is programmed to dynamically interact with the other South Province themes.
* The Emotional Spectrum Practice Knockout mode has a total of 151 rounds, matching the original number of [[Pokémon (species)|Pokémon]] in [[Generation I]].

===Origin===
{{main|Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Paldea|Pokémon world in relation to the real world → Paldea}}
Alfornada may take its inspiration from the {{wp|Moorish architecture|Moorish art and architectural heritage}} of southern Iberia, particularly that of {{wp|Andalucia}} of Spain and {{wp|Algarve}} of Portugal. Southern Iberia is also notable for its tradition in the production of ceramics and potteries, with roots in {{wp|Hispano-Moresque ware}}. Ceramic art is used extensively as decoration throughout the architecture of southern Iberia; examples include colorful ceramic tilework and the tradition of hanging painted ceramic dishes on exterior walls.

The {{wp|armillary sphere}} may be a reference to the one featured on the {{wp|flag of Portugal}}.

'''Mawile''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''クチート''' ''Kucheat'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]]. Prior to [[Generation VI]], it was a pure {{type|Steel}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
Mawile is a short, bipedal, humanoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a pale yellow body. Its three-fingered hands and two-toed feet are black. It has red eyes and a pair of long, black, ear-like extensions on either side of its head. Its legs resemble a {{wp|hakama}}. Its most notable feature is a pair of large black jaws emerging from the back of its head. These jaws have a yellow, oval-shaped spot on their top surface. They contain ten sharp, metallic teeth—six on the top row and four on the bottom. While the jaws are actually transformed steel horns, Mawile can articulate them at will, using them to bite enemies with enough force to break an iron beam. These jaws are incapable of tasting, leading Mawile to use them to eat food it does not like.

Mawile is typically found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|caves}}. It uses its non-threatening facial appearance to make foes underestimate it, then attacks with its giant jaws, sometimes swallowing its prey whole. When engaged in battle, Mawile usually has its back turned to the enemy to make better use of its jaws. As mentioned in [[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]], Mawile tends to sleep while hugging its jaws occasionally. It is unknown whether it's a trap or not, unless one takes a closer look. Mawile has four different sleep styles it sleeps in: ''Flattened Sleep'', ''Jaw-Swinging Sleep'', ''Jaw-Hugging Sleep'', and ''Atop-Belly Sleep''.

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

Mega Mawile now has two sets of jaws protruding from the back of its head, and both sets have a spiky tuft of hair. It also seems to be able to control the jaws independently of one another.<ref>http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Mawile</ref> The ear-like extensions on its head are longer and have tips with two points. Its legs have grown longer, and its "hakama" is now magenta. Its arms now resemble thick sleeves, with magenta markings around the wrists. Mega Mawile's strength has {{a|Huge Power|dramatically risen}} from its previous form, and it can use both its jaws to grip on prey and tear them apart. These jaws thrash around violently.

==In the TCG==

== Others ==

=== [[MELLOMELLOID]] ===
Mawile, alongside many other Fairy-type Pokémon, appears in the music video for the song "[https://youtu.be/TFpizvPDbec?si=kju3QG_MwE3uGTpx MELLOMELLOID]" ('''メロメロイド)''', composed by Vocaloid producer Kairiki Bear for the [[Pokémon feat. Hatsune Miku Project VOLTAGE 18 Types/Songs]]. Mawile's cute nature concealing its large jaws is reflected in the song through an idol who acts cutesy and friendly in order to trick a romantic partner close to her, before revealing her true nature, showing that she has been lying all this time to trap someone. The symbolism is further reinforced by Miku's twintails and color palette being stylized to ressemble Mawile's jaw, and later on Mega Mawile's two jaws.

==Trivia==
* Mawile's [[footprint]] is different between the [[Generation III]] {{pkmn|games}} ([[File:F303gen3.png]]) and the [[Generation IV]] games ([[File:F303.png]]).
* Since Mawile's back faces its opponent in battles, it uniquely uses its "back" sprite in [[Pokémon Musical]]s.
* Mawile seems to be the counterpart of {{p|Sableye}}. Both of them are [[version-exclusive Pokémon]] of {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, {{pkmn|Sword and Shield}}, and {{2v2|Brilliant Diamond|Shining Pearl}}, found in the same locations in each paired version. They have the same [[HP]], {{stat|Speed}}, and [[base stats|base stat totals]]. Both Pokémon also have [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] forms.
* As of [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], Mawile receives additional [[base stats|base stat]] total when [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]], more than any Pokémon that is capable of Mega Evolution, with 142 points.
** Mega Mawile in Pokémon Legends: Z-A is the [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|only Pokémon]] with a base stat total of 522.
** Mega Mawile also has the lowest {{stat|HP}} base stat of all Mega-Evolved Pokémon along with Mega {{p|Diancie}} and Mega {{p|Sableye}}.

===Origin===
{{bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Mawile}}
Mawile may have been based on the Japanese legend of the ''{{wp|futakuchi-onna}}'', a woman with a mouth in the back of her head. Artistic depictions of the ''futakuchi-onna'' commonly depict her eating {{wp|mochi}} through her "back-mouth", which could explain Mega Mawile's [[Huge Power]] ability, as the ability's Japanese name — ちからもち (''chikaramochi'') — is a pun, being readable as both "muscleman" and "strengthening mochi". It may also be influenced by ''{{wp|ouni}}'', a demon with a torn mouth and a body covered in hair that lives in the mountains.

Its mouth resembles a {{wp|Trapping#Foothold traps|bear-trap}}, which may explain its unexpected {{t|Steel}} typing. This design choice might also align with its classification as the "Deceiver" Pokémon, using misdirection in its typing. Additionally, the Steel type could be a nod to the "silk hiding steel" metaphor.

====Name origin====
Mawile may be a combination of ''{{wp|maw}}'' (jaws of a voracious animal) and ''wile'' (cunning stratagem) or ''smile''.

Kucheat may be a combination of 口 ''kuchi'' (mouth) and ''cheat'' or ''eat''.

'''Mawile''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''クチート''' ''Kucheat'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]]. Prior to [[Generation VI]], it was a pure {{type|Steel}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
Mawile is a short, bipedal, humanoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a pale yellow body. Its three-fingered hands and two-toed feet are black. It has red eyes and a pair of long, black, ear-like extensions on either side of its head. Its legs resemble a {{wp|hakama}}. Its most notable feature is a pair of large black jaws emerging from the back of its head. These jaws have a yellow, oval-shaped spot on their top surface. They contain ten sharp, metallic teeth—six on the top row and four on the bottom. While the jaws are actually transformed steel horns, Mawile can articulate them at will, using them to bite enemies with enough force to break an iron beam. These jaws are incapable of tasting, leading Mawile to use them to eat food it does not like.

Mawile is typically found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|caves}}. It uses its non-threatening facial appearance to make foes underestimate it, then attacks with its giant jaws, sometimes swallowing its prey whole. When engaged in battle, Mawile usually has its back turned to the enemy to make better use of its jaws. As mentioned in [[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]], Mawile tends to sleep while hugging its jaws occasionally. It is unknown whether it's a trap or not, unless one takes a closer look. Mawile has four different sleep styles it sleeps in: ''Flattened Sleep'', ''Jaw-Swinging Sleep'', ''Jaw-Hugging Sleep'', and ''Atop-Belly Sleep''.

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

Mega Mawile now has two sets of jaws protruding from the back of its head, and both sets have a spiky tuft of hair. It also seems to be able to control the jaws independently of one another.<ref>http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Mawile</ref> The ear-like extensions on its head are longer and have tips with two points. Its legs have grown longer, and its "hakama" is now magenta. Its arms now resemble thick sleeves, with magenta markings around the wrists. Mega Mawile's strength has {{a|Huge Power|dramatically risen}} from its previous form, and it can use both its jaws to grip on prey and tear them apart. These jaws thrash around violently.

===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}====
In ''[[PS194|Guile from Mawile]]'', a group of Mawile attacked {{adv|Ruby}} when he met [[Steven Stone]] in [[Granite Cave]].

Multiple Mawile appeared in ''[[PS196|Ring Ring Goes Beldum]]''.

===={{MangaArc|Emerald}}====
A Mawile appears in ''[[PS306|Pinsir Me, I Must Be Dreaming]]'', where it was used in a {{pkmn|battle}} by [[Noland]]. After [[Guile Hideout]] assumed control of the rental Pokémon, {{adv|Emerald}} pacified this Mawile and returned him to Noland's control. Noland has kept this Mawile as his own Pokémon, even during the {{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}.

The {{gdis|Battle Factory|III}} rented a Mawile, which was stolen by [[Guile Hideout]] in ''[[PS315|Skirting Around Surskit I]]''.

A Mawile appeared in ''[[PS327|Facing Gulpin Is Hard to Swallow]]'' as a rental Pokémon for the Battle Factory.

A Mawile appeared in ''[[PS333|The Final Battle VI]]'', under the ownership of the Battle Factory.

===={{MangaArc|X & Y}}====
A Mega Mawile appeared in a flashback in ''[[PS561|Heracross Transforms]]'', and its Trainer assumed to be one of [[Gurkinn]]'s disciples.

A Mawile capable of [[Mega Evolution]] appeared in ''[[PS595|Magearna Moves]]'', under the ownership of one of [[Gurkinn's students]].

===={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}====
[[Tomatoma]] of the [[Draconid people]] owns a Mawile, which first appeared in ''[[PS602|Hoopa Distorts]]''.

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

== Others ==

=== [[MELLOMELLOID]] ===
Mawile, alongside many other Fairy-type Pokémon, appears in the music video for the song "[https://youtu.be/TFpizvPDbec?si=kju3QG_MwE3uGTpx MELLOMELLOID]" ('''メロメロイド)''', composed by Vocaloid producer Kairiki Bear for the [[Pokémon feat. Hatsune Miku Project VOLTAGE 18 Types/Songs]]. Mawile's cute nature concealing its large jaws is reflected in the song through an idol who acts cutesy and friendly in order to trick a romantic partner close to her, before revealing her true nature, showing that she has been lying all this time to trap someone. The symbolism is further reinforced by Miku's twintails and color palette being stylized to ressemble Mawile's jaw, and later on Mega Mawile's two jaws.

==Trivia==
* Mawile's [[footprint]] is different between the [[Generation III]] {{pkmn|games}} ([[File:F303gen3.png]]) and the [[Generation IV]] games ([[File:F303.png]]).
* Since Mawile's back faces its opponent in battles, it uniquely uses its "back" sprite in [[Pokémon Musical]]s.
* Mawile seems to be the counterpart of {{p|Sableye}}. Both of them are [[version-exclusive Pokémon]] of {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, {{pkmn|Sword and Shield}}, and {{2v2|Brilliant Diamond|Shining Pearl}}, found in the same locations in each paired version. They have the same [[HP]], {{stat|Speed}}, and [[base stats|base stat totals]]. Both Pokémon also have [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] forms.
* As of [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], Mawile receives additional [[base stats|base stat]] total when [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]], more than any Pokémon that is capable of Mega Evolution, with 142 points.
** Mega Mawile in Pokémon Legends: Z-A is the [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|only Pokémon]] with a base stat total of 522.
** Mega Mawile also has the lowest {{stat|HP}} base stat of all Mega-Evolved Pokémon along with Mega {{p|Diancie}} and Mega {{p|Sableye}}.

===Origin===
{{bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Mawile}}
Mawile may have been based on the Japanese legend of the ''{{wp|futakuchi-onna}}'', a woman with a mouth in the back of her head. Artistic depictions of the ''futakuchi-onna'' commonly depict her eating {{wp|mochi}} through its "back-mouth", which could explain Mega Mawile's [[Huge Power]] ability, as the ability's Japanese name — ちからもち (''chikaramochi'') — is a pun, being readable as both "muscleman" and "strengthening mochi". It may also be influenced by ''{{wp|ouni}}'', a demon with a torn mouth and a body covered in hair that lives in the mountains.

Its mouth resembles a {{wp|Trapping#Foothold traps|bear-trap}}, which may explain its unexpected {{t|Steel}} typing. This design choice might also align with its classification as the "Deceiver" Pokémon, using misdirection in its typing. Additionally, the Steel type could be a nod to the "silk hiding steel" metaphor.

====Name origin====
Mawile may be a combination of ''{{wp|maw}}'' (jaws of a voracious animal) and ''wile'' (cunning stratagem) or ''smile''.

Kucheat may be a combination of 口 ''kuchi'' (mouth) and ''cheat'' or ''eat''.

Legendary Pokémon

'''Legendary Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|伝|でん}}{{ruby|説|せつ}}のポケモン''' ''Densetsu no Pokemon'', "Legendary Pokémon") are a group of incredibly rare and often very powerful {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. They are often featured prominently in the [[Myths and legends involving Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|legends and myths]] of the [[Pokémon world]], with some even going so far as to view them as deities.

As of {{CURRENTGEN}}, there are currently {{#expr:{{PAGESINCATEGORY:Legendary Pokémon}} - 15}} Legendary Pokémon. No explicit criteria defines what makes a Pokémon a Legendary Pokémon. Instead, the only way to identify a Pokémon as belonging to this group is through statements from official media, such as the {{pkmn|games}} or {{pkmn|animation}}.

==Terminology==
{{main|Terminology of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon}}

[[Mythical Pokémon]] are a related but separate group of Pokémon, which are usually {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive. In Western language media, Mythical Pokémon were considered to be Legendary Pokémon prior to [[Generation V]]; in Japanese and Korean media, the two groups have always been considered distinct.

[[Special Pokémon]] are a subcategory of Legendary Pokémon that are restricted or banned from certain official tournaments, battle facilities, and link battle formats. Most Special Pokémon are Legendary [[game mascot]]s.

In some uncommon cases, the term "Legendary Pokémon" is used to refer to Mythical Pokémon even after the Generation V games, such as in a painting of {{p|Arceus}} in the [[Lilycove Museum]] from [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], as well as {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Shaymin}}'s trophies in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]].

==List of Legendary Pokémon==
Of the {{numpkmn}} Pokémon species, 71 are Legendary Pokémon ({{#expr: (71/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}%). Each released [[generation]] has introduced at least three Legendary Pokémon.

Many Legendary groups share a common type, such as Flying.

===Generation I===
Four Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation I]], with one trio and one standalone Legendary Pokémon.

====Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres====
{{main|Legendary birds}}
The legendary birds—{{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}}—are a trio of Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Kanto]] region. Each of them is based on a mythical bird. Each is also associated with a {{season}} (though none of the three are associated with autumn).

In [[The Crown Tundra]] [[Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass|DLC]] for {{g|Sword and Shield}}, each of them gain a [[Galarian form]].

====Mewtwo====
{{p|Mewtwo}} is a Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Kanto]] region. It is the enhanced clone of the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Mew}}. Mewtwo was too powerful for its creators and escaped from the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}}, wrecking it in the process. Mewtwo then made its home in [[Cerulean Cave]], where all kinds of powerful Pokémon live.

In {{g|X and Y}}, Mewtwo gained the ability to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] through the use of its [[Mega Stone]]s, [[Mewtwonite X]] and [[Mewtwonite Y]], which are possibly artificial as well.

In [[Pokken Tournament]], Mewtwo is turned into [[Shadow Mewtwo]] by a Shadow synergy stone, which possessed it. It can also Mega Evolve into Mega Shadow Mewtwo X.

===Generation II===
Five more Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation II]], for a running total of 9. The Legendary Pokémon introduced in this generation down can be separated into a trio and a duo.

====Raikou, Entei, and Suicune====
{{main|Legendary beasts}}
The Legendary beasts—{{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}}—are a trio of Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Johto]] region. These legendary Pokémon are based on many different creatures, both real and mythical, as well as mythological deities. Suicune in special is the [[game mascot]] of [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Pokémon Crystal]].

According to legend, three Pokémon were trapped in the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]] when it was struck by lightning and burned to the ground, resulting in their death; the trio was revived by the power of {{p|Ho-Oh}} and now [[roaming Pokémon|roam across the land]] because of their great power. Official sources differ in whether the three were already a Suicune, Raikou, and Entei when they died, or whether they were simply [[List of disputed and unidentified Pokémon|three unidentified non-Legendary Pokémon]] that Ho-Oh reincarnated as the first Legendary beasts. The Legendary beasts of the Johto region are not the only individuals of these species, however. For example, a new Entei is said to be born whenever a new volcano is formed. Additionally, the [[Sage (Trainer class)#Wise Trio|Wise Trio]] says that Suicune is the closest of the Legendary beasts to Ho-Oh and shares a cooperative bond with the {{p|Unown}}.<ref>"Of the legendary {{ScPkmn}}, Sᴜɪᴄᴜɴᴇ is said to be the closest to Hᴏ-ᴏʜ. I hear there may also be a link to {{ScPkmn}} known as Uɴᴏᴡɴ. The {{ScPkmn}} Uɴᴏᴡɴ must be sharing a cooperative bond with Sᴜɪᴄᴜɴᴇ." - Wise Trio, [https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/maps/TinTower1F.asm Pokecrystal Disassembly]</ref>

In [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Scarlet]], a sketch resembling the members of the Legendary beasts can be found in the [[Scarlet Book]], dubbed "An Imagined Pokémon". Later, in [[The Indigo Disk]] [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero|DLC]] for the game, [[Paradox Pokémon|Paradox counterparts]] of Suicune, Entei, and Raikou are discovered in the form of {{p|Walking Wake}}, {{p|Gouging Fire}}, and {{p|Raging Bolt}}, respectively.

====Lugia and Ho-Oh====
{{main|Tower duo}}
The tower duo—{{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}—are a duo of Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Johto]] region. They are the [[game mascot]]s of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. They are a pair of birdlike Pokémon based on the eastern legends of the {{wp|Fenghuang}} and {{wp|Ryūjin}}.

According to legend in the Johto region, they formerly resided in [[Ecruteak City]] atop tall towers; however, when the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]], the home of Lugia, was struck by lightning and burned to the ground, they both flew away. Lugia resolved to make its new home in the [[Whirl Islands]], while Ho-Oh left to search the world for a pure-hearted Trainer.

In {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, Lugia is turned into a [[Shadow Lugia]] by the criminal syndicate [[Cipher]].

{{an|Ho-Oh}} is notably the first Legendary Pokémon that appeared in the {{pkmn|animated series}} (outside of the [[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master|opening animation]], at least), flying over a rainbow as [[Ash Ketchum]] started his journey, at the end of ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''. Ash has subsequently seen it several times over the course of his journey, but has never come face-to-face with it. Ho-Oh also featured in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'' in a prominent role.

===Generation III===
Eight new Legendary Pokémon were added to the roster in [[Generation III]], bringing the total to 17. At this point in the series, Legendary Pokémon began to have a greater role in the storyline of the core series games, with the [[villainous team]]s plotting to reawaken the ancient Legendary Pokémon for their own use.

Many of the stories regarding the legendaries were slightly changed, or given a new perspective in the [[remakes]] of the first Generation III core series games, {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. Five of them also received new forms.

====Regirock, Regice, and Registeel====
{{main|Legendary giants}}
{{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, and {{p|Regirock}} are three legendary giants {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Hoenn]] region. They are based on the {{wp|golem}}s of Hebrew legend. This Legendary trio, as well as its leader, {{p|Regigigas}}, often require solving puzzles to find them in the games; in the Hoenn games, they can only be encountered after solving [[braille]] puzzles.

The legend of the giants is told in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. Long ago, an ancient Pokémon, {{p|Regigigas}}, was said to have moved the continents into their present positions by pulling them with ropes. After it was finished, it created three Pokémon in its image: Regirock, from clay; Regice, from ice; and Registeel, from magma. Ancient people, seeing that the Pokémon was so powerful, sealed it away in the [[Snowpoint Temple]], while those it had created were separated from it and taken to the Hoenn region, sealed in three chambers, and left in the hopes that one day, someone would unlock the chambers and be able to tame the three so as to tame Regigigas.

In [[The Crown Tundra]] [[Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass|DLC]] for {{g|Sword and Shield}}, the trio becomes a quintet with two more introduced members: {{p|Regieleki}} and {{p|Regidrago}}.

====Latios and Latias====
{{main|Eon duo}}
The eon duo—{{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}}—are a duo of Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Hoenn]] region.

Only one of the duo is normally available in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} as well as {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, with Latios being a [[roaming Pokémon]] in Ruby and SoulSilver, and Latias doing the same in Sapphire and HeartGold. In Emerald, after the player has defeated [[Wallace]], their mother will ask if the Pokémon mentioned on TV was red or blue, and depending on that, one of the two will be roaming Hoenn. The other member of the duo will be found on [[Southern Island]], accessible by [[Eon Ticket]], in Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald; and in [[Pewter City]], through the [[Enigma Stone]] event, in HeartGold and SoulSilver.

In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Latias and Latios gained the ability to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] through the use of their [[Mega Stone]]s, [[Latiasite]] and [[Latiosite]] respectively.

====Kyogre, Groudon, and Rayquaza====
{{main|Super-ancient Pokémon}}
The super-ancient Pokémon—{{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Groudon}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}}—are a trio of Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Hoenn]] region. They are the [[game mascot]]s of {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. The trio represents the three major components of the Earth: the {{wp|hydrosphere}}, the {{wp|lithosphere}}, and the {{wp|atmosphere}}.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, all three gained new forms. Kyogre and Groudon can undergo [[Primal Reversion]] to become Primal Kyogre and Primal Groudon through the use of the [[Blue Orb]] and the [[Red Orb]]. Rayquaza can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] without the need of a [[Mega Stone]], only needing to know the [[move]] {{m|Dragon Ascent}}.

According to legend, thousands of years ago, during the primal age, 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. However, Rayquaza intervened, and its power overwhelmed that of the two Primal Pokémon, and peace returned to the world. A thousand years later, a meteoroid hit the earth, causing cracks in the ground that unleashed natural energy, causing Groudon and Kyogre to re-battle each other. Humans had a collective memory of how Rayquaza saved their race long ago, and that wish combined with the power of the Meteorite allowed Rayquaza to Mega Evolve for the first time and calm the two from quarreling.

===Generation IV===
Nine more Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation IV]], bringing the total to 26 Legendary Pokémon. Many of the Legendary Pokémon of this generation have little connection to the plot of the games, instead being minor, post–[[Hall of Fame]] sidequests for the player to go on. Three of the newly introduced Legendary Pokémon (four prior to the {{game|Platinum}} expansion of the Pokédex) are not in the Sinnoh [[regional Pokédex]], appearing only in the [[National Pokédex]].

====Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf====
{{main|Lake guardians}}
The lake guardians—{{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}—are a trio of Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Sinnoh]] region. They each represent the spirit of consciousness, with Uxie embodying knowledge, Mesprit embodying emotion, and Azelf embodying willpower. According to legend, having been created by {{p|Arceus|the Original One}}, the trio have the power to tame the powerful dragons it also created.

<gallery class="c" heights="200" widths="200">

====Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina====
{{main|Pokémon of myth}}
{{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}} are a trio of Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Sinnoh]] region. They are the [[game mascot]]s of {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} and {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}. Each represents an aspect of universe: {{p|Dialga}} represents time, {{p|Palkia}} represents space, and {{p|Giratina}} represents antimatter.

In the Sinnoh-based games only, Dialga and Palkia are referred to as "mythical Pokémon" (Japanese: 神話のポケモン ''mythical Pokémon''). The use of this term in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum predates the official term "[[Mythical Pokémon]]" in English. The term has a different name to "Mythical Pokémon" in all languages other than English.

In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Dialga and Palkia gained {{form|Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina|Origin Formes}} like Giratina, through the use of the [[Adamant Crystal]] and the [[Lustrous Globe]].

====Heatran====
{{p|Heatran}} is a Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Sinnoh]] region. Heatran is said to be the embodiment of the planet's boiling {{wp|core}} and is often found in volcanic areas.

In the [[Mega Dimension]] DLC for {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, Heatran has gained the ability to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] through the use of its [[Mega Stone]], the [[Heatranite]].

===Generation V===
Nine additional Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation V]], totaling 35 Legendary Pokémon in all. {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} played a large role in the storyline of {{game|Black and White|s}}, with the respective mascot Pokémon being a necessary and unavoidable capture to progress to the end of the game.

====Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion====
{{main|Swords of Justice}}
The Swords of Justice—{{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, and {{p|Virizion}}—are a trio of Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Unova]] region. The [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Keldeo}} is also sometimes considered part of the Swords of Justice. The trio are based on the titular characters of the 1844 French novel ''{{wp|The Three Musketeers}}'', while Keldeo is based on their apprentice {{wp|d'Artagnan}}. They are also based on hooved mammals such as deer, antelopes, oxen, goats, and horses.

According to legend, they protect Pokémon from having their habitats destroyed by humans and have attacked a human castle. Keldeo was rescued and raised by the trio after its home was destroyed by fire. All four of them can use their horns like swords, and learn {{m|Sacred Sword}} (which was originally the group's [[signature move]]).

In [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet]], a sketch resembling the members of the Swords of Justice can be found in the [[Violet Book]], dubbed "An Imagined Pokémon". Later, in [[The Indigo Disk]] [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero|DLC]], [[Paradox Pokémon|Paradox counterparts]] of Virizion, Terrakion, and Cobalion are discovered in the form of {{p|Iron Leaves}}, {{p|Iron Boulder}} and {{p|Iron Crown}}, respectively.

====Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus====
{{main|Forces of nature}}
The forces of nature—{{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}}—are a trio of Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Unova]] region. They are based on {{wp|kami}}: {{wp|Fūjin}}, god of wind; {{wp|Raijin}}, god of thunder and lightning; and {{wp|Inari Ōkami|Inari}}, a fertility deity. Together the three represent the heavens and the nourishing effect the sky has upon the earth.

In {{B2W2}}, they gained the ability to switch between their default, Incarnate Formes and their alternate, Therian Forme through the use of the [[Reveal Glass]].

According to a folktale retold by children at the [[Abundant Shrine]], Landorus punished Tornadus and Thundurus for destroying the land with gales and thunderstorms, and a shrine was built in honor of him.

In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, the trio becomes a quartet with one more introduced member: {{p|Enamorus}}.

{{p|Reshiram}}, {{p|Zekrom}}, and {{p|Kyurem}} are a trio of Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Unova]] region. Reshiram and Zekrom are the [[game mascot]]s of {{game|Black and White|s}}, while Black Kyurem and White Kyurem are the mascots of {{B2W2}}. {{p|Zekrom}} and {{p|Reshiram}} represent balance through the aspects of {{wp|Tao|Yin and Yang}}, respectively.

According to legends, originally, they were a [[List of disputed and unidentified Pokémon|single dragon]] that helped found the Unova region's nation, but fighting between the [[Heroes of Truth and Ideals|two brothers]] who founded the nation split them into two halves; despite this, the two Pokémon do not willingly fight each other.

{{p|Kyurem}} is related to Reshiram and Zekrom and represents {{wp|Wuji (philosophy)|wuji}}, which is the absence of yin and yang. Using the [[DNA Splicers]], Kyurem can be fused with Reshiram or Zekrom into White Kyurem or Black Kyurem, respectively; with the same item, the fusion can be undone.

====Xerneas, Yveltal, and Zygarde====
{{main|Aura trio}}
{{p|Xerneas}}, {{p|Yveltal}}, and {{p|Zygarde}} are a trio of Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Kalos]] region. Xerneas and Yveltal are the [[game mascot]]s of {{g|X and Y}}. Xerneas and Yveltal represent life and destruction, respectively, while Zygarde is said to monitor the balance of the ecosystem and reveal its power when the ecosystem is disrupted. Xerneas has the power to share eternal life, while Yveltal absorbs the life force of everything around it. Xerneas sleeps in the form of a tree, while Yveltal sleeps in the form of a cocoon. Xerneas and Yveltal have the Abilities {{a|Fairy Aura}} and {{a|Dark Aura}}, respectively, while Zygarde's {{a|Aura Break}} reverses the effects of these Abilities.

Xerneas has {{fd|Xerneas|two forms}}, appearing in Active Mode in battle and Neutral Mode otherwise; Yveltal has no form differences. Zygarde appeared only as Zygarde 50% Forme in Pokémon X and Y, but had {{fd|Zygarde|two other forms}} and two further components introduced in the {{pkmn|animated series}} and in {{g|Sun and Moon}}. Zygarde's other forms are Zygarde 10% Forme, a dog-like form that includes 10% of Zygarde's full power, and Zygarde Complete Forme, whose power is said to exceed that of Xerneas and Yveltal. Its further components are Zygarde Cells, tiny cell-like creatures that make up Zygarde's body, and Zygarde Cores, cell-like creatures said to be its mind.

In {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, Zygarde gained the ability to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] through the use of its [[Mega Stone]], [[Zygardite]]. Mega Zygarde is said to have been born as a result of people's emotions during [[Ange#Hyperrogue Ange Floette|Hyperrogue Ange Floette]]'s final {{M|Light of Ruin|shot}} to destroy [[Lumiose City|Lumiose]], allowing Zygarde to stop it and calm the situation with its unmatched power.

====Type: Null and Silvally====
{{main|Beast killer project}}
{{p|Type: Null}} and its evolved form {{p|Silvally}} are a pair of Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Alola]] region.

They were originally created by the [[Aether Foundation]] for the [[beast killer project]] under the direction of Aether President [[Lusamine]],<ref>[[Lusamine]]: "The [[Lillie|daughter]] who stole my {{p|Cosmog}} from me and the [[Gladion|son]] who took '''my''' Type: Null!" ({{g|Sun and Moon}})</ref><ref>Faba's blog from {{g|Sun and Moon}}: "My [[Lusamine|superior]]'s [[Gladion|family]] stole the results of our research and ran off."</ref> which aimed to create a Pokémon to fight against the [[Ultra Beast]]s. It was developed with data collected on [[Myths and legends involving Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|myths and legends]] involving a {{P|Arceus|Mythical Pokémon}} found from [[Canalave City]]'s [[Canalave Library|library]] in the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]].

====Tapu Koko, Tapu Lele, Tapu Bulu, and Tapu Fini====
{{main|Guardian deities}}
The tapu—{{p|Tapu Koko}}, {{p|Tapu Lele}}, {{p|Tapu Bulu}}, and {{p|Tapu Fini}}—are a quartet of Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Alola]] region. They serve as the guardian deities of each of Alola's four main islands: Tapu Koko on [[Melemele Island]], Tapu Lele on [[Akala Island]], Tapu Bulu on [[Ula'ula Island]], and Tapu Fini on [[Poni Island]].

Alola's [[island kahuna]]s are each chosen by their island's guardian deity. [[Island challenge|Grand trials]] are often done in favor and praise of the Tapu. The Tapu are known to be very kind in certain situations, lending gifts, but they can also be very cruel, destroying certain locations or harming others when feeling angered.

According ''The Light of Alola'', a book found in the [[Malie City|Malie Library]], the tapu fought off against a beast from another [[dimension]] and lost. They were rewarded with the [[Tapunium Z]], their signature [[Z-Crystal]]. The beast then created multiple {{p|Cosmog}} for the tapu to take care of and protect as they grow up before returning to [[Ultra Space]].

====Cosmog and Cosmoem====
{{main|Light trio}}
{{p|Cosmog}} and its evolved form {{p|Cosmoem}} are {{type|Psychic}} Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in [[Alola]]. They are the pre-Evolutions of {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}}.

Ultra Wormholes can be created using gasses extracted by Cosmog,<ref>[[Lusamine]], {{g|Sun and Moon}}:''"I was able to open the Ultra Wormhole using just the gases we'd extracted from Cosmog when it was in Aether Paradise, wasn't I?"''</ref> but more can be created in heavier doses using the Pokémon as a whole. Cosmog evolves into Cosmoem under extreme stress, causing the Pokémon to condense into a smaller immobile form resembling a cocoon. With the help of the [[Sun Flute|Sun]] and [[Moon Flute]]s being played during certain times of the day, Cosmoem can evolve into either Solgaleo or Lunala when brought to the [[Altar of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|SUS}}/[[Altar of the Moone]]{{sup/7|MUM}}.

According to [[Malie City#Malie Library|Alolan legend]], Cosmog were given to the [[guardian deities]] by [[Light trio|Solgaleo and Lunala]] as heirs of the region, with the tapu watching over the Cosmog until they could grow up and evolve.

====Solgaleo, Lunala, and Necrozma====
{{p|Solgaleo}}, {{p|Lunala}}, and {{p|Necrozma}} are a trio of Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Alola]] region. Solgaleo and Lunala are the [[game mascot]]s of {{g|Sun and Moon}}, while Dusk Mane Necrozma and Dawn Wings Necrozma are the mascots of {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}. They are said to have come from [[Ultra Space]].

Solgaleo and Lunala have {{form|Solgaleo and Lunala|form-like transformations}} known as Radiant Sun phase and Full Moon phase respectively when using their powers. Necrozma has three additional forms (all introduced in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}): Dusk Mane Necrozma, Dawn Wings Necrozma, and Ultra Necrozma. It transforms into Dusk Mane Necrozma or Dawn Wings Necrozma when it has absorbed Solgaleo or Lunala, respectively. Either of these two forms can transform into Ultra Necrozma after absorbing enough light to restore its true form.

All three have their own unique Z-Crystals: [[Solganium Z]], [[Lunalium Z]] and [[Ultranecrozium Z]]. Necrozma, while transformed into either Dusk Mane or Dawn Wings, can make use of the other two's Z-Crystals. [[Z-Power]] comes from light produced by Necrozma,<ref>[[Dulse]], {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun}}: ''"These...auras...must have been particularly strong at the trial locations. And the Z-Power for the Z-Moves... It is also similar to the auras of the Totem Pokémon. Both came to Alola as Necrozma's light!"''</ref> while [[Z-Crystal]]s, [[Sparkling Stone]]s, and by extension [[Z-Ring]]s/[[Z-Power Ring]]s are pieces of Necrozma that channel Z-Power in order to produce [[Z-Move]]s.

According to "The Light of Alola", a book in the [[Malie City|Malie Library]], they gave light to the Alola region when it was first created. According to legends, when Solgaleo and Lunala appeared from an [[Ultra Wormhole]], the ancient kings of Alola bowed down to them and worshiped them. The guardian deities battled them and lost, with the duo gifting the tapu the [[Tapunium Z]] after their defeat. In legends in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Necrozma is referred to as "The Blinding One", as it once shared light across [[Alola]] and Ultra Space, before an unknown injury caused Necrozma to lose its true form. This resulted in Necrozma becoming extremely vicious and constantly in pain, which made it steal light from other worlds, and even from Solgaleo and Lunala, in order to sustain itself and regain the form it once had.

Of these, three were introduced in the base game of {{g|Sword and Shield}}, two were introduced in [[The Isle of Armor]], five were introduced in [[The Crown Tundra]], and one was introduced in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. Additionally, The Crown Tundra introduced [[regional form]]s of three Legendary Pokémon from Generation I.

====Galarian Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres====
Galarian {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} are the [[Galarian form]]s of the [[legendary birds]]. They were {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Crown Tundra]] of the [[Galar]] region. The Galarian forms have {{t|Flying}} as their secondary type, but they have a different primary type to their [[Kanto]]nian counterparts.

Every few decades, they migrate to the Dyna Tree at [[Dyna Tree Hill]] in the [[Crown Tundra]]. The trio battles one another each time they meet, although their rivalry does not seem as intense as that of their Kantonian counterparts. For some time, the Galarian legendary birds were believed to be the same as the Kantonian legendary birds due to their similar characteristics to {{t|Ice}}, {{t|Electric}}, and {{t|Fire}}, respectively.

Together, they managed to take Eternatus down, forcing it back into another slumber, with Eternatus's defeat and the Darkest Day stopped, the two Legendary Pokémon retreated to the [[Slumbering Weald]] to return to their slumber, turning into statues while the two human heroes became Galar's new kings.

====Calyrex, Glastrier, and Spectrier====
{{p|Calyrex}}, {{p|Glastrier}}, and {{p|Spectrier}} are three Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Crown Tundra]] of the [[Galar]] region. They were introduced in [[The Crown Tundra]] [[Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass|DLC]] for {{g|Sword and Shield}}.

Calyrex can take on one of two alternate forms by combining with Glastrier or Spectrier using the [[Reins of Unity]]. When riding Glastrier, it becomes Ice Rider Calyrex; when riding Spectrier, it becomes Shadow Rider Calyrex.

According to legend, {{p|Glastrier}} or {{p|Spectrier}} had been terrorizing [[Freezington]], ruling the area as the "lord of the tundra". One day, Calyrex was nursed back to health by Freezington's citizens. To repay the citizens, Calyrex defeated Glastrier/Spectrier and gained its loyalty, making the Pokémon its loyal steed. Afterwards, Calyrex ruled over the [[Crown Tundra]]—known as the King of Bountiful Harvests, it helped spread vegetation and supported the harvest every year with its loyal steed.

Eventually, the king's greed awakened them and unleashed disasters, resulting in these berserk Pokémon destroying the kingdom. All four were later sealed away in shrines by ancient Pokémon wielders after a fierce battle.

{{main|Loyal Three}}
The Loyal Three—{{p|Okidogi}}, {{p|Munkidori}}, and {{p|Fezandipiti}}—are a trio of Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in [[Kitakami]]. They were first introduced in [[The Teal Mask]] [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero|DLC]] for {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.

In [[Kitakami]], they were believed to have protected Kitakami from {{p|Ogerpon}}, whose appearance frightened the villagers, causing them to be worshiped as heroes. In truth, the Loyal Three traveled to Kitakami after hearing of Ogerpon and its partner's masks, snuck into the cave Ogerpon settled in, and stole the [[Wellspring Mask|Wellspring]], [[Hearthflame Mask|Hearthflame]], and [[Cornerstone Mask]]s, leaving only the [[Teal Mask]] behind. Upon returning to its cave, an enraged Ogerpon donned the mask and went out to the village, cudgel in hand, to search for its friend. Upon meeting the Loyal Three, gloating over their stolen masks, Ogerpon attacked and defeated them, before leaving. The villagers, misunderstanding the situation, believed that the Loyal Three were protecting the village, creating a shrine and festival to celebrate their perceived heroism.

According to legend in The Teal Mask, it is said to have terrorized the land of Kitakami before being stopped by the [[Loyal Three]]: {{p|Okidogi}}, {{p|Munkidori}} and {{p|Fezandipiti}}. However, in reality, it defeated the trio for stealing three of its masks and hurting its human companion, but the villagers watching it assumed it had come to attack the village, seeing it as a terrible ogre. Only the mask maker who made Ogerpon's masks knew the true story, with this story being passed down to his descendants.

==In the core series games==
[[File:USUM Ultra Necrozma and Legendary Pokemon.jpg|thumb|250px|Various Legendary Pokémon battling, by [[Kazuma Koda]]]]
Legendary Pokémon are usually encountered as [[List of wild Pokémon from in-game events|interactable]] or [[roaming Pokémon]]. Starting in {{v2|Platinum}}, Legendary Pokémon will reappear when the player defeats the {{pkmn|Champion}}, if the Pokémon fainted earlier.

Legendary Pokémon are most commonly [[gender unknown]], although many are not. In the [[core series]] games, no Legendary Pokémon can [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] or hatch from an {{pkmn|Egg}}. Legendary Pokémon usually cannot [[Evolution|evolve]], although {{p|Type: Null}}, {{p|Cosmog}}, {{p|Cosmoem}}, and {{p|Kubfu}} all can. Many Legendary Pokémon can change [[form]]s. Legendary Pokémon are often part of a [[Groups of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|group of Legendary Pokémon]], most commonly a Legendary duo or trio.

Legendary Pokémon typically appear near the end of a [[regional Pokédex]], with [[Mythical Pokémon]] immediately after them.

===Statistical average===
High [[base stats]] are shared by most Legendary Pokémon, and they generally have a base stat total of at least 570. These averages consider alternate [[form]]s as separate Pokémon.
{{BaseStatNoCat
|type=Pokemon
|HP=97.10
|Attack=112.73
|Defense=100.85
|SpAtk=115.76
|SpDef=105.46
|Speed=94.69
|Total=626.59
}}

===Multiple Legendary Pokémon===
{{main|Population of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon}}
Most Legendary Pokémon can be obtained only once per save file; in order to obtain multiple, a player would need to [[trade]] Pokémon between games or [[Event Pokémon|obtain one through an event]]. However, in some cases, there are multiple Legendary Pokémon of the same species either found or mentioned in-game, even though they may not be available to the player.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Trading Card Game series===
{{main|Legendary Cards}}
In [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] and [[Pokémon Trading Card Game 2: The Invasion of Team GR!]], there are four [[Legendary Cards]], which are central to the plot: {{TCG ID|Promotional Card|Articuno|P03}}, {{TCG ID|Promotional Card|Zapdos|P10}}, {{TCG ID|Promotional Card|Moltres|P02}}, and {{TCG ID|Pokémon Card GB|Dragonite|promo}}. The latter is not a Legendary Pokémon, but rather a [[Pseudo-legendary Pokémon|pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon.

Aside from the four Legendary Cards, there are also several Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, and Mewtwo cards in both games, and a Lugia card in the second game.

===Pokémon Puzzle League===
In [[Pokémon Puzzle League]], the only Legendary Pokémon seen in-game is Mewtwo. It is the final boss of the 1P Stadium in the Very Hard and Super Hard modes.

===Pokémon Team Turbo===
In [[Pokémon Team Turbo]], there are three Legendary Pokémon available in the [[racing]] games: {{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Groudon}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}}.

===Super Smash Bros. series===
In the [[Super Smash Bros. series]], {{SSB|Mewtwo}} is the only Legendary Pokémon available as a fighter.

==In animation==
===''Pokémon the Series''===
Legendary Pokémon typically make their debut in a {{pkmn|movie}}, rather than first appearing in an {{pkmn|animated series}} episode. Many are worshiped as {{wp|deity|gods}} by particular groups of people. They are often only seen by special {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, usually [[Ash Ketchum]], and by people who have a special connection to them. Ill-intentioned people often seek to possess them, due to their power and rarity. Some Legendary Pokémon exhibit stubborn behavior and a rudely distrust of humans, like {{p|Raikou}}.

Trainers owning Legendary and Mythical Pokémon, or even battling with non-owned Pokémon, are not unheard of. [[Noland]] has befriended and fought official {{pkmn|battle}}s with an {{TP|Noland|Articuno}}. Likewise, {{an|Brandon}} owned the three {{TP|Brandon|legendary giants}} in [[Poké Balls]] and trained them. {{si|Tobias}} participated in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]] with the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Latios}}. Another Trainer entered the same tournament with a {{p|Heatran}}. A [[Nurse Joy]] who visited the [[Pewter Gym]] under assignment of the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency|PIA]] kept a {{p|Latias}} in a Poké Ball. {{an|Gladion}} stole a {{p|Type: Null}}, which he managed to evolve into a {{TP|Gladion|Silvally}}. Ash raised a {{p|Cosmog}} nicknamed {{AP|Nebby|Solgaleo}} all the way to {{p|Solgaleo}}; although he never caught it in a Poké Ball, Solgaleo is often seen amongst Ash's Pokémon in official media. [[Goh]] has also succeeded in catching several Legendary Pokémon, including {{TP|Goh|Eternatus}}, a {{TP|Goh|Suicune}}, and a {{p|Regieleki}}. [[Project Mew]] members [[Quillon]] and [[Danika]] both own an {{p|Urshifu}} each, and the former has also caught the three original legendary giants for research purposes. {{Gary}} caught a {{p|Regidrago}} as a part of a Project Mew mission, while [[Horace]] was later revealed to have caught a {{p|Virizion}} during his own mission.

There are some cases in which Legendary Pokémon are implied to breed in the wild, as seen with {{p|Lugia}} in {{aniseries|GS}}, and {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}} at the end of ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]''.

===''Pokémon Horizons: The Series''===
100 years prior to the events of {{aniseries|HZ}}, the Ancient Adventurer [[Lucius]] used to travel with a [[Black Rayquaza]] and {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Moltres}}, who made up two members of the [[Six Heroes]]. During his journey, Lucius met [[Rystal]], who owned a {{p|Terapagos}} nicknamed [[Pagogo]], and [[Gibeon]], who traveled the world alongside a [[White Zygarde]]. Together, the three of them formed a group called [[Explorers]] and set out to find [[Laqua]], which they succeeded in doing.

After the events that transpired in Laqua, the Six Heroes got scattered around the {{pkmn|world}} and Pagogo reverted into a dormant state, passing down through generations of Rystal's descendants. It eventually ended up in [[Liko]]'s hands, who was a key part in allowing it to restore its active form. Liko and [[Roy]]'s journey also led them to reunite the Six Heroes.

==Trivia==
*150 is the most common stat number among Legendary Pokémon.
*There have been Legendary Pokémon of every type except {{t|Bug}} (excluding {{p|Silvally}} holding a [[Bug Memory]]).
*Every Special and Mythical Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Alola Pokédex]] is marked by a special golden background in its [[Pokédex]] page instead of a regular blue one; other Legendary Pokémon and Ultra Beasts are marked by a special green one.
*{{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Kubfu}} and {{p|Urshifu}} are the only Legendary Pokémon that can be either gender.
** Heatran has an equal chance of being either gender, while Kubfu and Urshifu both have a 7:1 chance of being male.
** While {{p|Terapagos}} is also coded to have an equal chance of being either gender, the Terapagos caught in [[The Indigo Disk]] (currently the only one available ingame) will always be male.
*In an interview promoting the launch of {{game|Black and White|s}}, [[Junichi Masuda]] stated that Legendary Pokémon are the most difficult to design names for because Game Freak strives to make sure that the names of Legendary Pokémon are universal across the different translations, so extra work must be put into their names to make sure that they work universally in all languages.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20101228065540/http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/sp/index5.html 女子大生が訊く『ポケットモンスターブラック・ホワイト』] (archive)</ref> This is consistent with the relatively small number of Legendary Pokémon that have had their names changed significantly outside of Japan (currently 21: the [[legendary birds]], the [[lake guardians]], the [[forces of nature]], {{p|Type: Null}}, {{p|Silvally}}, the [[guardian deities]], {{p|Eternatus}}, {{p|Kubfu}}, {{p|Urshifu}}, {{p|Glastrier}}, {{p|Spectrier}}, {{p|Calyrex}}, and—in {{pmin|Chinese}} only—the [[Mew duo]]).
* Each member of the [[Legendary beasts]] and the [[Tao trio]] has its own remix of each trio's designated battle theme:
**In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Suicune's theme uses bells, Entei's theme uses an electric guitar, and Raikou's theme is synthesized.
**Reshiram's theme employs a burning fire effect, Zekrom's theme employs a crackling thunder effect, and normal Kyurem's theme features an extra slapped bass part playing in the background.
*The [[Generation I]] games and their later remakes are the only [[core series]] games where the main plot does not involve any Legendary Pokémon.
*Prior to [[Generation VI]], the core series games which serve as region debuts did not have any Legendary Pokémon from previous generations available without trades, transfers, or events.
**From [[Generation III]] onwards, all upper versions, sequels, and remakes in the core series have Legendary Pokémon from multiple generations available without trades, transfers, or events.
*The legendary birds are the Legendary Pokémon that have been available in the wild in the greatest number of core series games, each being able to be caught in twenty core series games ([[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]], {{v2|Yellow}}, [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, LeafGreen]], {{v2|Platinum}}, [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold, SoulSilver]], [[Pokémon X and Y|X, Y]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, Ultra Moon]], {{LGPE|Let's Go, Pikachu!, Let's Go, Eevee!}}, [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Sword, Shield]], [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Shining Pearl,]] [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Scarlet, and Violet]]).
*Every Legendary Pokémon has the [[List of Pokémon by experience type|Slow leveling rate]].
*In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], the [[Adventure Log]] lists recruiting Unown as an accomplishment. The Adventure Log otherwise only lists Mythical and Legendary Pokémon recruits, with the exception of {{p|Rotom}}.
*Rotom happens to be the only non-Legendary Pokémon to have the battle music of a Legendary Pokémon during at least one of its encounters, this encounter being in the [[Old Chateau]] in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl}}, {{v2|Platinum}}, {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl}}.
** In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky, Rotom has only one exclusive item that is found behind a locked door in a specific dungeon. It and {{p|Spiritomb}} are the only Pokémon that are neither Legendary nor Mythical that do this.
*So far, there is at least one Legendary Pokémon directly or indirectly related to each "battle gimmick" introduced in their respective regions:
**The [[Aura trio]] (specifically Xerneas and Yveltal) are theorized to be indirectly responsible for creating [[Mega Evolution]] in the [[Kalos]] region, while {{p|Rayquaza}} is believed to be responsible for Mega Evolution occurring in the [[Hoenn]] region.
** The [[Light trio]] and [[Guardian deities]] are directly related to [[Z-Move]]s.
**Eternatus is directly responsible for [[Dynamax]] and [[Gigantamax]].
**Terapagos is directly responsible for the [[Terastal phenomenon]].

'''Slaking''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ケッキング''' ''Kekking'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

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

==Biology==
Slaking is a large, bulky, ape-like bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Most of its shaggy fur is brown, along with the semi-circle patterning under its eyes. Its face, chest, hands, and feet are lighter in color. Its brows are thick and jutting, and it has a large, pink [[wp:Pig|pig]]-like snout. Around its neck is a white collar of fur that extends over the top of its head before ending in a small tuft. It has large, five-fingered hands and two-toed feet.

During most of the day, Slaking lolls around and sleeps. It is considered the laziest Pokémon, but even when it is lounging it's saving energy. It can exert a lot of power by releasing built-up energy all at once and is said to be feared for its immense strength. Slaking lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|tropical forests}}, where it feeds on grass and ripened fruit that falls from trees. It only moves around when there is no more food within reach for it to eat. As mentioned in the [[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]], it is rare to see Slaking dozing off while consuming the grass around it.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex entry]]: "It is the world's laziest Pokémon, spending all day lying down and lolling about. On very rare occasions you might even see a Slaking that dozed off while snacking on the grass around it."</ref>

In [[Generation III]], {{m|Slack Off}} was its [[signature move]]. Prior to [[Generation V]] and in [[Generation IX]], Slaking and its unevolved form, {{p|Slakoth}}, are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Truant}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===
Slaking evolves from {{p|Vigoroth}} and is the final form of {{p|Slakoth}}.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]].)

==In animation==
===Main series===
[[File:Slaking anime.png|thumb|250px|Slaking in {{aniseries|HZ}}]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Norman's Slaking]]=====
Slaking debuted in ''[[AG069|Love, Petalburg Style]]'', under the ownership of [[Norman]]. In [[AG070|the following episode]], [[Ash's Grovyle]] defeated it during a [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}, winning {{Ash}} the {{badge|Balance}}.

=====Other=====
Multiple Slaking appeared in ''[[AG179|Slaking Kong]]'', where they played a major role.

In ''[[XY126|Valuable Experience for All!]]'', [[Sawyer]] used a Slaking in the [[Lumiose Conference]], during which it defeated a Trainer's {{p|Medicham}}. In ''[[XY127|Analysis Versus Passion!]]'', it was used during Sawyer's [[Full Battle]] against {{Ash}}, where it defeated {{AP|Hawlucha}} before losing to {{AP|Talonflame}}.

A Slaking appeared in ''[[HZ090|Eyes to the Skies Once Again, Part 1]]'', having been affected by the [[Laquium]]. [[Roy]] and [[Ult]] battled it with their [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Roy|Lucario}} and {{p|Sableye}} before [[Captain Pikachu]] defeated it with {{m|Volt Tackle}}. It reappeared during a flashback in [[HZ091|the following episode]], and ''[[HZ101|Terastallization vs. Mega Evolution!]]''.

====Minor appearances====
A Slaking appeared in the opening sequence of ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''.

In ''[[BW134|The Journalist from Another Region!]]'', a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Slaking was entered in the [[Pokémon Sumo Tournament]] on [[Harvest Island]]. It was [[Ash's Pignite]]'s second opponent, and it lost due to not even trying to make an effort in the battle.

In ''[[JN095|The Good, The Bad, and The Lucky!]]'', [[James]] pulled a Slaking from the [[Rocket Prize Master]] that did absolutely nothing to help him.

==In the manga==
[[File:Norman Slaking Adventures.png|thumb|230px|Slaking in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Ash & Pikachu===
{{main|Norman's Slaking}}
[[Norman]]'s Slaking appeared in ''[[SP25|I'll Win With My Own Battle Style!!]]''.

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Norman's Slaking}}
{{adv|Norman}}'s signature Pokémon is a {{TP|Norman|Slaking}}, who first appeared in ''[[PS186|Brushing Past Breloom]]''. Although it would seem that his {{a|Truant|Ability}} would be of a major hindrance, he shows that by having a {{p|Spinda}} tag alongside him and use {{m|Skill Swap}} in times of need, his impressive strength and speed would be wielded to their maximum. Additionally, the move {{m|Bulk Up}} allows him to bolster his stats even more.

{{adv|Emerald}} used a Slaking during his {{gdis|Battle Factory|III}} challenge in ''[[PS306|Pinsir Me, I Must Be Dreaming]]''. Thanks to {{m|Slack Off}}, it was able to outlast a {{p|Hitmonlee}} despite its type and speed disadvantages. After the battle, it was swapped with a {{p|Linoone}}.

The Battle Factory rented a Slaking, which was stolen by [[Guile Hideout]] in ''[[PS315|Skirting Around Surskit I]]''.

[[Spenser]] used a Slaking against the young boy in ''[[PS325|Standing in the Way with Starmie]]'', but their {{pkmn|battle}} was not seen.

A Slaking appeared in a flashback as one of the Pokémon trained by the [[International Police]] in ''[[PS528|Innocent Scientist]]''.

===Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire===
A Slaking appeared in ''[[PMRS17|Serious Bicycle Match!]]'', under the ownership of [[Rydel's rival]].

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

==In the TFG==
One Slaking figure has been released.
* {{TFG|Groundbreakers}}: {{TFG ID|Groundbreakers|Slaking|28}}

==Other appearances==
==={{DetPikMov}}===
Two Slaking appeared in {{DetPikMov}}.

==Trivia==
* Slaking has several similarities to {{p|Regigigas}}. They are both {{t|Normal}} types, have [[:Category:Abilities with negative effects|hindering]] {{Abilities}} ({{a|Truant}} and {{a|Slow Start}}), have the highest base {{stat|Attack}} stat of all {{type|Normal}} Pokémon, and have the same base stat totals.
* Slaking has the highest base stat total of any Pokémon that's not {{pkmn2|Mythical}}, {{pkmn2|Legendary}}, or a [[Mega Evolution]].
* A {{DL|List of unused Pokémon and character designs|Godzillante & Gorillaimo|pre-alpha sketch}} from the development of [[Capsule Monsters]] depicts a Pokémon that bears a slight resemblance to Slaking.

Slaking appears to draw inspiration from {{wp|sloth}}s, more specifically the prehistoric giant ground sloths ''{{wp|Megatherium}}'' or ''{{wp|Eremotherium}}'' due to its large size. It also closely resembles a {{wp|great ape}}, a {{wp|gorilla}} in particular, with the "-king" in both its Japanese and English names possibly alluding to {{wp|King Kong}}. Its lazy behavior is based on the concept of Slakoth going from a sloth to being motivated, then deciding it wasn't worth it.<ref name=ND84>''Nintendo Dream'' Volume 84, February/March 2003 ([http://lavacutcontent.com/sugimori-masuda-gen-3-interview/ English translation] written by Jacob Newcomb and commissioned by Dr. Lava)</ref> It also has some similarities to human {{wp|old age|elder}}s, suck as its baldness and white fur on its head and around its neck, and being so much less active than Vigoroth.

====Name origin====
Slaking may be derived from ''slacking'', or a combination of ''slack'' and ''king''.

Kekking may be a combination of 欠勤 ''kekkin'' (absence from work) and ''king''.
