'''Reflection Cave''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|映し身の洞窟|うつしみのどうくつ}}''' ''Reflection Cave'') is a [[cave]] in western [[Kalos]], connecting {{rt|11|Kalos}} and [[Shalour City]].

Many walls in the Reflection Cave are reflective like mirrors, thus explaining the origin of the cave's name. Due to these reflective surfaces, several {{pkmn|Trainer}}s facing the walls will be able to notice the {{player}} walking behind them and challenge them to a {{pkmn|battle}}. The player can also use these surfaces to locate a hidden passageway on B2F.

==In the anime==
[[File:Reflection Cave anime.png|thumb|250px|Reflection Cave in the anime]]
[[File:Mirror World Reflection Cave.png|thumb|250px|The Mirror World's Reflection Cave]]
The Reflection Cave made an appearance in ''[[XY037|The Cave of Mirrors!]]''. Like in the games, it is filled with many reflective crystals. While traveling through the cave, {{Ash}}'s mirror image suddenly seemed to come alive and grabbed {{AP|Pikachu}}, prompting him to follow. He soon found out that on the other side of the Reflection Cave's mirrors, there was a [[Mirror World]], where he met mirror versions of himself and {{ashfr}}, all of whom possessed characteristics completely opposite to their real world counterparts: [[Mirror Ash]] was timid and easily shaken; Pikachu was mischievous and a roughneck; [[Mirror Serena]] was arrogant and a serious battler; [[Mirror Clemont]] was a fit and fast runner, who relied on magic instead of science; [[Mirror Bonnie]] was lady-like and proud of her big brother's achievements; and [[Mirror Team Rocket]] were celebrated heroes of justice.

The real Ash soon learned that after losing a {{pkmn|battle}} against Mirror Serena, Mirror Ash tearfully ran into the Mirror World's Reflection Cave, where he became separated with his Pikachu. After seeing the real Ash's Pikachu in a mirror, he reached out and grabbed it, believing it to be his own. After being reunited, Ash and Pikachu agreed to help find Pikachu's counterpart, which turned out to have been caught by Team Rocket, also having found their way into the Mirror World. As they began to attack the real Pikachu, both Ashes sent their {{AP|Hawlucha}} to battle the them, but the real Hawlucha soon became {{status|Confusion|confused}} by [[James's Inkay]]'s {{m|Psybeam}}, and was quickly [[recall]]ed before it started hurting its counterpart. Mirror Ash's Hawlucha was quickly called back as well, being too cowardly and scared to fight [[Jessie's Pumpkaboo]] effectively. However, during the commotion, Mirror Clemont sneaked behind the trio and freed the two Pikachu, who proceeded to send Team Rocket blasting off with a double {{m|Thunderbolt}}.

Afterwards, the real Ash managed to re-open the portal between the real world and Mirror World, and barely managed to return back to his friends before the portal was closed again, his friends and their Mirror World counterparts wishing each other good luck on their journeys. Ash and his friends then exited the cave, deciding to find a [[Pokémon Center]] to spend their night in. The episode ended with the Team Rocket trio wandering in the Mirror World forest before being found by their heroic counterparts.

Frost Cavern

2014-12-26T16:35:26Z

PharosAM: /* Intro */ The location of the Ice Rock was imprecise to be misleading. The "first floor" communicates to the player the first floor they enter the area on, and not the robotic numerical value of the supposed elevation of the in-game map.

Could part of it be derived from "Kahuna"? I know the meaning sure isn't, but the way the word is laid out might play into it--BJG 23:55, March 29, 2005

== Synopsis ==
{{Incomplete synopsis}}

On their way to the Battle Tower, May finds a {{p|Smoochum}} behind a bush. She tries to pick it up, only to be attacked by three {{p|Jynx}}, {{p|Smoochum}}’s sisters. After a short battle Ash and the others leave and head for town. Soon after, Team Rocket take {{p|Smoochum}} and plan to make her a star. The {{p|Jynx}} then begin to attack the town and Ash and {{an|May}} hold them back before luring them to where {{p|Smoochum}} is. However, when they get there, [[Jessie]] has no intentions to give {{p|Smoochum}} back to her sisters!

== Trivia ==
* Much of the background music in this episode was taken from ''[[PK13|Gotta Dance!!]]'' and ''[[Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''.
* The dub title was a reference to the 1987 movie ''{{wp|Three Men and a Baby}}'' starring Tom Selleck, Ted Danson, and Steve Guttenburg. The movie is infamous for the so-called "{{wp|Three Men and a Baby#Urban legend|ghost}}" that was captured on camera during filming.
* This is the first Japanese episode in which Jynx appears with its new design. In [[AG116|the previous episode]] in which Jynx appeared, it used its old design, which was recolored for the dub.

=== Errors ===
* Only one {{p|Jynx}} has a dubbed voice while the other two keep their Japanese voices.
* The Jynx freeze a portion of the ladder behind Jessie into a major sheet of ice, yet somehow Ash is able to overcome this obstacle without so much as showing the audience how this is done.

PharosAM: Created page with 'In the dub, the Rocket Trio speak as though they're falling into their own traps. (~7:06 Jessie: "Nothing's more embarrassing than getting trapped in your own trap!"; ~9:50 Meo…'

In the dub, the Rocket Trio speak as though they're falling into their own traps. (~7:06 Jessie: "Nothing's more embarrassing than getting trapped in your own trap!"; ~9:50 Meowth: "Maybe we all have some self-hatred issues!" (what kind of line is that?); 11:38 James: "Memory fails as to what kind of dud it was...Now I remember: It was a pit trap.") In the original version, was the Rocket Trio really falling into their OWN traps, or were they actually falling into traps that would be created by a Battle Frontier associate in the aim of keeping people away from the outdoor battlefield? I suggest that among the numerous differences in the season 9 era of the show is that whoever was on the team (was it Disney? Can't seem to find any CONCRETE STATEMENT of what the heck happened between season 8 and season 9, when it's obvious enough from the fact the voice acting changed to a bunch of YouTubers putting in their own voicing and doing a terrible job of sounding like the originals) didn't even have a Japanese-to-English translator on staff. Until we see the person's name for this credit, anything the characters say is qualified dubious.

PharosAM:

A potential error, or rather, an incongruity in characterization occurs in this episode. James laments that he cannot live on an island because he's "spent [his] life as a spoiled brat from the city." Although the dub writers perhaps think they can skirt the issue merely by avoiding using absolutes in the text, the clear and present evidence to the contrary is overwhelming in that Team Rocket is regularly out of money, low on rations, and James is constantly abused by Jessie, and this puts aside the fact that he ran away from his upbringing. You wouldn't think a criminal organization like Team Rocket would have resources to spoil any brats apart from their power-hungry leader and his snobby Persian. In other words, the potential comic aspect of James making a ludicrous claim (in its nature contradictory to the lifestyle which the Rocket Trio endures yet constantly strives to deny themselves of) is questionable at least. Okay, yes, it's not really an error, but more along the lines of a thread of evidence woven throughout numerous episodes concerning fabricated details which attempt to feign the Rocket Trio as being worse people than they actually manage to be. I propose that such a topic on the Rocket Trio exists, and includes, but is not limited to, highly nefarious claims in multiple episodes that they are somehow transgressing any visible semblance of a moral boundary. This seems to be expressed largely through inference that the viewer is expected to label the Rocket Trio as "bad" by the writers' standards, as opposed to the viewers'. Of course, this entire claim is extremely dubious, since in this episode they attempt to maroon some people on an island, potentially indefinitely.

Flute

2009-10-01T00:48:26Z

PharosAM: /* Effects */

:''This article is about the [[Generation III]] colored flutes. For one of the [[key item]]s, see [[Poké Flute]] or [[Azure Flute]].''

A '''flute''' is a type of item from the [[Pokémon games]] introduced in [[Generation III]].

==Effects==
Each of the colored flutes has a different effect, similar to consumables purchased at a [[Poké Mart]], but flutes are not consumed when used. The Red, Yellow, and Blue Flutes, cure {{status|Attract|Attraction}}, {{status|Confusion}}, and {{status|Sleep}}, respectively. The Black Flute makes [[wild Pokémon]] encounters less common, while the White Flute makes wild Pokémon encounters more common.

==Location==
===In [[Generation I]] and [[Pokémon Snap]]===
The [[Poké Flute]], while not a colored flute, is a [[key item]] which works similarly to the Blue Flute, acting like a reusable [[Awakening]].

===In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}===
To obtain the flutes in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, the player must first receive the [[Soot Sack]] from the man in the glass-blowing shop on [[Route 113]]. Then, ash must be collected by walking through the [[Volcanic ash|ash-covered grass]] on the route. Once the player has enough ash, he/she can exchange it for one of the flutes.

|}

===In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}===
[[Image:PokeFlute.png|thumb|right]]
In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, only the Yellow Flute is obtainable without trading a Pokémon over from [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]], or [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]] holding one. The Yellow Flute can be purchased for 1600 coins at the Prize Corner of the [[Rocket Game Corner]]. The [[Poké Flute]], which acts like a Blue Flute, also exists in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.

===In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]===

The Yellow Flute can be found in an item box inside the [[S.S. Libra]].

===In [[Pokémon Colosseum]]===
The Time Flute appears twice and can completely purify any [[Shadow Pokémon]].

===Generation IV===
The colored flutes cannot be obtained in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} except by making a Pokémon hold them in [[Generation III]] and transferring them over via [[Pal Park]]. In {{game|Platinum}}, the player will automatically receive a Black Flute from [[Looker]] when examining the broken cave painting on the third floor of [[Mt. Coronet]] before chasing Team Galactic. The White Flute will be given by the girl that owns the [[Suite Key]]. The Blue Flute is no longer usable outside of battle. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, a Red Flute is available in the [[Lake of Rage]].

==Trivia==
* The flutes, along with the [[Poké Flute]], are the only items that can be used in-battle and can be used multiple times.
* In [[Generation III]] games, the Blue Flute can be used outside of battle, but it cannot be used this way in [[Generation IV]] games, as it is classified as a [[Battle item]].

PharosAM: /* Black Flute */

Are these types of pages necessary? Most items do not need their own pages, there just isn't much useful information about them to warrant a lone page about many of them. The Shoal Salt/Shell for instance already have sections that tell you most of what you really need to know. [[Shoal Salt]] and [[Shoal Shell]]. --[[User:PhoenixZero|Phoenix]] 22:33, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
:I made the [[Shoal Salt]] page to dispel the rumor that the Shoal Salt acts like the [[Leftovers]] in D/P, so I had to make the [[Shoal Shell]] page to be consistent. There is more information about the [[Sacred Ash]], as well as the [[Flute|Flutes]], so that is why I made those pages. --[[User:Shiny Noctowl|Shiny Noctowl]] 22:43, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

== Black Flute ==

Is there any information about how the Black Flute loses effectiveness? After a certain amount of steps, after you enter a new area or after a wild Pokémon is encountered? --[[User:Jayc|Jayc]] 07:37, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
:Does it?--[[User:Clarky13|'''Clarky''']][[User talk:Clarky13|'''13''']] 07:57, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
::Says so on the page. And anyway, it would be ridiculous to just play it once, then have infinite effectiveness for it on that save file. --[[User:Jayc|Jayc]] 08:00, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
:::If the page does not include further explanatory information then the validity of the statement must be subject to scrutiny. Non-sequitur remarks are not encyclopedic and do not constitute thoroughness. --[[User:PharosAM|PharosAM]]

'''Slowpoke''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヤドン''' ''Yadon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Psychic}} Pokémon. It first appeared in the [[Generation I]] games.

Slowpoke can evolve into one of two Pokémon: into {{p|Slowbro}} starting at [[Level]] 37; or into {{p|Slowking}} when [[trade]]d holding a [[King's Rock]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Slowpoke are large pink creatures which resemble a cross between a salamander and a hippopotamus. Their tails grow lighter towards the tip, and they have tan muzzles.
====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
Slowpoke have unusual tails which drip a sweet-tasting sappy substance. This substance is attractive to many species of fish, and can be used as a lure. Unfortunately, Slowpoke are extremely stupid, and tend to forget what they are doing.

Unlike most {{type2|Water}} Pokémon, Slowpoke are capable of using {{type2|Fire}} attacks, like {{m|Flamethrower}}.

===Behavior===
Slowpoke are amphibious creatures of notoriously dim intellect. They take a long time to respond to outside stimuli, it takes as much as five seconds for it to process pain. Its tail is particularly numb to pain, it takes more than a day for it to feel when it has been bitten on its tail. Although they are generally seen as being extraordinarily stupid, they are very gentle and caring, as well as skilled fishermen. Unfortunately, they are easily distracted and forget what they were doing. Although many view Slowpoke as largely useless creatures, many folktales surround Slowpoke, including the belief that their yawns cause rain.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Water's-edge Pokémon|Water's-edge Pokémon]]]]
Slowpoke are commonly found at the water's edge.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:A Crowning Achievement.jpg|right|thumb|Slowpoke in the anime]]
===Major Appearances===
Slowpoke's first major role was in ''[[EP066|The Evolution Solution]]''. Ash and {{ashfr|co.}} asked for the help of [[Professor Westwood V]] to help figure out why Slowpoke only evolved into Slowbro when a {{p|Shellder}} {{m|clamp}}ed on its tail (a question that was giving [[Professor Oak]] a headache). Westwood's Slowpoke evolved when a Shellder that [[Jessie]] caught clamped on to the Dopey Pokémon's tail.

''[[EP142|A Shadow of a Drought]]'' revealed that [[Azalea Town]] considers Slowpoke sacred due to legends claiming that Slowpoke's {{m|yawn}}ing can summon rain.

''[[EP244|Enlighten Up!]]'' introduced practitioners of a religion similar to {{wp|Buddhism}} that see Slowpoke's empty head as a sign of enlightenment and worship by meditating along with Slowpoke and Slowbro.

A group of Slowpoke were trying to reach a [[Evolution-inducing held item#King's Rock|King's Rock]] to evolve into Slowking in ''[[EP260|A Crowning Achievement]]''. One finally succeeded at the end.

===Minor Appearances===
Slowpoke's first appearance was a brief one in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]''. {{Ash}}'s Pokémon asked it for help, but it didn't respond. It evolved into a Slowbro at the very end of the episode.

==In the manga==
In {{PSV|8}} of [[Pokémon Special]], a herd of Slowpoke has their tails cut off by [[Team Rocket]], causing the [[Slowpoke Well]] to stop providing water. {{Special|Gold}} proceeds to tire one out with his {{p|Aipom}}, prompting it to yawn and therefore cause the well to start flowing again.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Slowpoke is a Pokéfloat. It initially has its tail curled towards its body but the tail lazily becomes straight and fighting moves there until {{p|Wooper}} appears.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
*[[Pokémon Channel]]: A Slowpoke is the very slow weatherman.
*[[Pokémon Ranger (game)|Pokémon Ranger]]: Slowpoke is [[Murph]]'s partner Pokémon.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]]: Slowpoke and {{p|Slakoth}} are the members of Team Slacker, the zero-motivation exploration team.

==Trivia==
*Slowpoke's original English name was "Slow'''mo'''".
*In the anime, Slowpoke evolves into a Slowbro if a Shellder bites its tail. It will evolve into a Slowking if one bites its head while it has the [[King's Rock]] on it.
* In the [[Generation III]] games, Slowpoke and its evolutions are only obtainable in {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|LeafGreen|s}}, the only case in the generation where an entire evolutionary line is exclusive to only one game.
*Like {{p|Mantyke}}, Slowpoke evolves when another Pokémon attaches to it. However, proximity-based evolution (requiring Mantyke and {{p|Remoraid}} to be in the same party) did not exist in Generation I, so Shellder has no bearing on Slowpoke's evolution.
*Though the species has appeared repeatedly, no Slowpoke has ever been seen using an attack in the anime. This trait is shared with {{p|Kakuna}}.
*Up until {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, all of Slowpoke's sprites had it's mouth open.

===Origin===
Slowpoke vaguely resembles a {{wp|hippopotamus}}.

====Name origin====
A ''slowpoke'' is simply a term for someone who is slow. The ''yado'' in ''Yadon'' may be from 宿借り ''yadokari'', {{wp|hermit crab}}. Alternatively, it may also be derived from 宿主 ''yadonushi'', (parasitic) host. Also, 鈍感 ''donkan'' means thickheaded or stolid, and 鈍 ''don'' means slow, dull, or stupid.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Flegmon
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Ramoloss - This is probably from ''ramolli'' (soft) and ''molosse'' (big dog).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 야돈 ''Yadon''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Hong Kong)]]: 小呆獸 - Literally "little slow-witted creature".

Talk:Bulbasaur (Pokémon)

2009-08-27T23:19:58Z

PharosAM:

Hey can we not have Bulbasaur link to Deoxys in the directory? We're going to get new pokemon and it'd just be better to not have the pokemon in a loop. It'd save sanity for when we get the 4th Gen. I'm trying to fix it now[[User:LedianX|LedianX]] 21:07, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

How so? Just change Deoxys on the Bulbasaur page to whatever the new last one should be when necessary - a single page edit. It's not like there's going to be tons of new pokemon every day. [[User:Sheep|Sheep]] 21:25, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Ok. Let me fix it but if you think I'm gonna relink all 386 pokemon with Meowth again like yesterday..You're nuts.[[User:LedianX|LedianX]] 21:36, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

No Deo-Bulba link. It's not circular. [[User:Evkl|Evkl]] 21:53, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Before all these Pokemon pages are redone, should nav be up on top as well as on bottom, or easily locating the nav, no matter how long the page? --[[User:Meowth346|Meowth346]]

This doesn't really relate, but could we add some possibilities to what certain Pokemon are based off of? As well as what names seem to be based off of? Like Bulbasaur=bulb+dinosaur, or Bulbasaur appears to be a dinosaur? Just asking here because it's a Pokemon page with lots of activity

------

I'm going to try to automate changing all the navigations for all the Pokemon. Hopefully no one starts editing before I get my script working. I may still be a good hour away from perfecting it. --[[User:Meowth346|Meowth346]]
----------------

Great. I don't feel like changing them all since we spent so long putting them there to begin with. [[User:LedianX|LedianX]] 01:46, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)

-----------

Can you believe I spend *36* minutes trying to get this working, trying things, and the problem with my script was an "&" missing? I'll start mass-updating the pages after I ensure there are no problems, and write a looper. --[[User:Meowth346|Meowth346]]
-------------------------

I can believe it. But, I thought we weren't going to loop to Deoxys? Evan said we weren't It's going to be a bit of a pain with the new Pokemon. Not to mention we have to put Munchlax and Rukario in there somewhere.[[User:LedianX|LedianX]] 02:59, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)

----------

Would there be a template problem without the looping? If not, then anyone can freely unloop them. --[[User:Meowth346|Meowth346]]

There is so far. I'm debating whether to make a special template for Deo and Bulba.

----
That should be easy enough. Make a "next" template and a "previous" template, and have the NextPrevious template combine these, right? --[[User:Meowth346|Meowth346]]

Perhaps - the problem would then be developing a template to wrap the blue box around it. Or we could just cheat and duplicate code as needed. (Also, I thought you had the Bulbabot account at your disposal to do these automatic changes (they pollute the Recent changes page otherwise)). Also, your bot is a little too overzealous with the &lt; conversion - some HTML tags are also valid in Wiki. - [[User:Zhen Lin|刘 (劉) 振霖]] 07:15, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)

The &lt; was a mistake because of how I managed the text (along with viewing it in the browser before I had all the find/replace working): download, change < to &lt;, then change newlines to BR tags, then modify, then change BR tags back to new lines, then replace the &lt;. I had forgotten about the &lt; in comments. In the end, it turned out I didn't even need to bother with less-than signs, as the textarea box doesn't even use HTML. As for BulbaBot, I don't remember the password, and it wasn't in .bash_history, nor did I feel up to checking my GAIM log. But if I knew that it wouldn't show up in recent changes, I would have done that. --[[User:Meowth346|Meowth346]]

== Moves ==

The version isn't specified, and there is already a page format allocated for this. If you just want to test things, you can do it on a seperate page. Or just use the "Show preview" button. --[[User:Jshadias|Jshadias]] 02:52, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)

We know...we're discussing the best way to handle it. I would appreciate it if you wouldn't have any snide comments. We're in a chat right now dealing with it. If you would like to be included in the BMG mod chat please AIM someone.[[User:LedianX|LedianX]] 03:01, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)

== Don't mean to impose, but... ==

Have you considered using the setup given by the Pokémon WikiProject at Wikipedia? The articles seems to be more a guide on how they are in the games, instead of their relevance in the game/anime/manga/TCG. Compare [[Wikipedia:Bulbasaur]] with [[Bulbasaur]], for instance. - [[User:A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]] 00:02, 7 September 2005 (CDT)

I'm sorry, that wasn't terribly clear - what do you mean? What is lacking on the Bulbapedia article? Is it just a matter of depth covered (we might be the biggest Pokémon wiki encyclopedia, but we don't get the kind of activity Wikipedia gets) - or something else? As far as I can see, the Wikipedia articles are structured quite like ours. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 03:36, 7 September 2005 (CDT)
:The articles just need some fleshing out. - [[User:A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]] 06:34, 7 September 2005 (CDT)
::Then it's nothing to be concerned about. Nothing is ever "done" - it's always open for improvement. Admittedly, it would be nice to have it fleshed out, but we simply don't have the kind of activity Wikipedia gets... so unless you're volunteering to do the work or help convince others to come contribute their work to Bulbapedia, you're just going to have to wait. Bulbapedia, like the Pokémon WikiProject, relies on volunteered work. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 07:07, 7 September 2005 (CDT)

== GameShark/Action Replay Codes? ==

Someone want to put up an explanation for we non-cheating types what the heck those codes are for and why they're in the article? --[[User:Pie|Pie]] 06:25, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
:Indeed. They're gone now. The same user also made a dubious edit to the GS Ball article. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 11:01, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

== Sprites! ==

that whole table of the different sprites is very, very, cool. i am thinking perhaps that could become the Project Spritedex? something or another...anyways, i am just letting everybody out there know i would be eager to help get files of the different sprites for you guys...thanks [[User:bill33421]]
PS: the emerald shiny sprite is missing
:Actually, the sprites fall under {{bp|Project Pokédex}}. And yes, I know the Emerald shiny sprite is missing... I haven't been able to find it. If you can add the sprites to Bulbagarden Archives, well, more power to you. Just make sure to upload them with the proper filename. '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 11:22, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
:interesting...so yes, i will try to get them, but if i could ask, how do '''you''' get them? is there a site that i can find pics on then upload to bulbagarden? or should i crop screenshots of games?
*There are several sites out there with sprites. Pokemon elite 2000 and upokecenter are good candidates; however it is better to do them yourself. I am going to attempt to fill in all the missing sprites for the first generation- I have (nearly) uploaded all the normal and shiny crystal sprites. (all from 10-111)--[[User:Cadellin|Cadellin]] 13:32, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

[[User:Bill33421|Bill33421]] 19:42, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

== Diet ==

What up wit the diet? We're talking about Pokémon, fictional creatures, here, not animals, very few have their own individual diets and most of them just have a link to the Pokémon food main article, I just don't see the point in it. -[[Image:Ani491MS.gif]][[User:Kpokefan|K]][[User Talk:Kpokefan|P]][[Darkrai (Pokémon)|F]]
:Think about it: is it better to have a link to an article or have nothing link to the article on Pokémon food? '''[[User:TTEchidna|TTE]][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 04:15, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

== First Pokemon ==

this part of the trivia section:

"# Bulbasaur is the first dual-type Pokémon in National Dex order.
# Bulbasaur is the first Grass Pokémon in National Dex order.
# Bulbasaur is the first Poison Pokémon in National Dex order.
# Bulbasaur is the first Pokémon in the National Dex order. "

This sounds rediculous, we know Bulbasaur is the first pokemon, so we don't need to say it is the first poison type, grass type, and dual type. ([[User:GT4GTR|--●[[User:GT4GTR|'''GT4GTR''']] [[User talk:GT4GTR|''/ talk /'']]]] 10:05, 22 April 2008 (UTC))

== Movesets ==

Someone should make it so that the moveset ''changes'' to the correct generation when you click on it, rather than linking to a seperate page. --[[User talk:Shiny Noctowl|Shiny Noctowl]] 00:18, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
:<s>That's exactly what it does for me. Maybe it's something to do with your browser.</s> Wait never mind. Well I'll leave a job like that to someone who knows his way around wiki coding.--[[User:Urutapu|Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？]] ([[User talk:Urutapu|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Urutapu|contribs]]) 04:03, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
:: im not sure if thats possible. TTE made the templates, youll have to bring it up with him. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 04:42, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

== Bulbabye? ==

I was watching the first movie again the other day, and in the Pikachu Short, Ash's Bulbasaur used the "Bulba-Bye" on Togepi. I came to check, but it wasn't here. Wouldn't that be something to put in the Behavior section or something like that? [[User:Dlt4|DLT4]] 04:50, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
:I'm pretty sure it would be "Bulba-by," to fit with "lullaby." Anyway, it would actually probably be more appropriate on [[Ash's Bulbasaur]], since this doesn't seem to exist outside of the Anime and I think that's the only Bulbasaur that used it. --[[User:Martonimos|Martonimos]][[User talk:Martonimos|((Argh]]|[[Special:Contributions/Martonimos|Blargh))]] 04:56, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

I was thinking that too - but Dexter said it was the 'first recording' of it, possibly implying that others do it too. [[User:Dlt4|DLT4]] 22:11, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

:Actually, it implies the exact opposite, if you think about it, considering Dexter was talking DURING the event. Dexter ain't psychic. --[[User:ElectAbuzzzz|electAbuzzzz]] ([[User talk:ElectAbuzzzz|TALK]]) 22:18, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

== Problem ==

I have problems viewing the sprite section. When I press the show button it looks sort of distorted. I took a screenshot and I'll upload what it looks like within 5 minutes and post it here. I've tryed it multiple times and it might just be my computer or it might be an error in the system.--[[User:23-03-33]] 21:45, 5 September 2008 (UTC) Here is the image and as you can see the evolution overlaps the sprite page for some reason.

== Sprites ==
I'm not sure if anyones noticed but Bulbasaur's Platinum non shiny sprite is wrong... and i thought that only 4th gen and sinnoh dex pokemon got new sprites--[[User:Wowy|Wowy]] 08:25, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

I just checked that and you're right, someone needs to fix it--Pokelova 18:33, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

== werid thing ==

When I was on venasor's (sorry for bad spelling), I wanted to see Bulbasaur's page, so I clicked on the name under it's image and when I got on the page it stated "Get a life losers" could someone please fix that. thanks ♥luna13♥

:It's already been fixed. [[User:Chocolate|Chocolate]] ([[User talk:Chocolate|Chat with Me]]) 16:39, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

== Sprites ==
Anyone else see the shiny sprites are animated? Are the shiny Bulbasaurs in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum animated? {{SUBST::User:SLE aman/Signature}} 01:09, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
:Yes. And no, the DPPt sprites aren't animated. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 01:23, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

== Generation III Learnsets ==

Just a quick question, why don't the other generation learnsets lead to the next Pokémon, like with the PokémonPrevNext thing? ''[[User:ShinjiLover|シンジ]]'''''[[Paul|Shinji]]'''[[User talk:ShinjiLover|Lover]],'''[[Special:Contributions/ShinjiLover|Edits]]''' 21:26, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

== Gen III Move sets Wrong ==

My Fire Red Bulbasaur didn't learn sweet scent until level 25. I'm not sure about the rest of the moves, but growth should have been offered at level 25 instead, and I still don't have that by 26. I'll update as I learn new moves. {{unsigned|Coldshrike}}
:Done. I already fixed it, thanks for letting us know. '''►[[User:Kevzo8|Ҝə]][[Special:Contributions/Kevzo8|υz]][[User_talk:Kevzo8|ø8]]''' 12:42, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

== Cry ==

Bulbasaur's cry is a lower-pitched Pikachu cry. --I [[User:HideInTheDark|hide in the dark]]! 17:30, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
:It is! Hm. You know, on the [[cry]] page, there's information stating there's only 37 "different" cries that make the 151 sounds (obviously stuff like Mewtwo, Mew, Paras, and Parasect have the same underlying cry), but it'd be awesome if we could get someone to compile a list of all the Pokémon that use those specific cries. Gen II also has 30 more, making there be really 67 sounds for 251 Pokémon.
:Think you could make this list up for us? '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 23:08, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

==Type Advantages over Gym Leaders==

This is kind of a small thing, but it's listed that Bulbasaur has a type advantage over the first two gym leaders in Kanto. But since Lt. Surge uses electric types, that gives Bulbasaur a defensive advantage without an offensive disadvantage (as would be the case with Erika). So shouldn't Bulbasaur be listed as having a type advantage over the first three gym leaders? [[User:Gear-Richie|Gear-Richie]] 20:01, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
:Saying it has a type advantage for that means like when you used a Razor Leaf against Onix or Staryu it would say "It's Super Effective!". Grass type moves don't do that against Electric types, so technically it is true like it already is. --[[User:PsychicRider|'''Psychic''']][[User talk:PsychicRider|'''Rider''']]''''[[Special:Contributions/PsychicRider|'''☮''']]'' 20:04, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

:So saying it has a type advantage is limited ONLY to an attack advantage? That doesn't seem right. That would mean there's a difference in nomenclature between Bulbasaur vs. Onix (Offensive only) and Bulbasaur vs. Starmie (Offensive and Defensive). But no such differentiation has ever been used. [[User:Gear-Richie|Gear-Richie]] 19:16, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

== Back Sprite difference ==

Hey- maybe i'm the first, but when i play Sapphire, Bulbasaur's back sprite is the same as bulbapedia's, however my Fire Red game shows a different back sprite. Here's what I mean: in Hoenn, Bulbasaur is squinting, where in FR&LG, Bulbasaur's eyes are wide open.--[[User:Spritemaster|Spritemaster]] 22:58:25, 22, August, 2009 (UTC)

Just disproved the "Bulbasaur joins in Yellow if you're level 20" thing by actually playing Yellow.

'''Bulbasaur''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フシギダネ''' ''Fushigidane'') is a dual-typed {{2t|Grass|Poison}} Pokémon.

In [[National Dex]] order, it is the first Pokémon, and is as well the first Pokémon in the [[Kanto Dex]] and [[Fiore Browser]]. It is one of the three [[starter Pokémon]] of the [[Kanto]] region, alongside {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Squirtle}}, and can be chosen by the player in {{game2|Red|Green|Blue}} as well as {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, their remakes.

Bulbasaur can evolve into {{p|Ivysaur}} beginning at level 16, and then can go on to evolve into {{p|Venusaur}} starting at level 32.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Bulbasaur is a reptilian creature that somewhat resembles a toad or a young dinosaur with a spotted blue-green hide. Its eyes are a bright red, but the most notable feature of this Pokémon is the onion-like bulb on its back. This bulb has a symbiotic relationship with the Pokémon, growing from a seed planted on its back by its mother at birth. Unlike the parasitic {{wp|tochukaso}} mushrooms growing on the back of {{p|Paras}}, which eventually take over its body as it evolves into {{p|Parasect}}, Bulbasaur's bulb shares a symbiotic relationship beneficial for both. This allows Bulbasaur to get an enhanced boost of energy from the Sun during the day and the bulb to remain growing and strong at night.

Though they usually walk on four legs, a Bulbasaur can rise up on its hind legs if it is young. Through evolution, it loses this ability, as the bulb grows far too heavy for it to support the weight. This, in turn, causes Bulbasaur's later evolutions to lose speed.

====Gender differences====
There are no differences in appearance between males and females of this species.

In the anime, {{an|May}}'s [[May's Venusaur|Bulbasaur]] had heart shaped spots on its forehead, which may be an anime-only indication of gender. However, all Bulbasaur may have unique spots on their bodies, regardless of gender.

====Special abilities====
Bulbasaur have a variety of Grass-type abilities granted to it by the bulb growing on its back. Powders, scents, petals, and seeds can come from the very tip of the bulb, and vines and leaves can come from the base. By manipulating these into moves like {{m|Leech Seed}}, {{m|Vine Whip}}, {{m|Razor Leaf}}, {{m|Petal Dance}}, and {{m|Sweet Scent}}, Bulbasaur have quite an arsenal at their disposal.

The bulb can absorb sunlight, allowing Bulbasaur to restore health with {{m|Synthesis}} or fire off a powerful {{m|SolarBeam}}.

===Behavior===
Most Bulbasaur are domesticated Pokémon, raised by {{pkmn|breeder}}s to be distributed as starter Pokémon in the Kanto region. Due to this, they are regarded as mostly well-behaved Pokémon. Some consider them to be the easiest Pokémon to start with due to this, as well as the fact that they have a type advantage over the first two [[Gym Leader]]s in Kanto.

Bulbasaur tend to have a strong loyalty to their friends and {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. In ''[[EP102|The Mystery Menace]]'', for example, a Bulbasaur was abandoned by its Trainer in the sewers of [[Trovitopolis]] and remained there for years, yet was still happy to see him when finally brought out from the sewer by {{Ash}} and his friends.

It is shown, in ''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]'', that once annually in Kanto, large groups of Bulbasaur gather in a hidden garden to become {{p|Ivysaur}}. It is unknown whether or not this is the case in other regions, as Bulbasaur are more rare there.

Bulbasaur can sometimes be found lying in the sun during the day to photosynthesize energy when food is scarce.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Bulbasaur are scarce in the wild. Sometimes they can be found in secret places such as gardens, plains near large sources of fresh water, or hiding in the forest in hollow logs, but overall they are found far more often in the ownership of Trainers.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Much like most Pokémon, Bulbasaur appears to be an {{wp|omnivore}}. However, in times of scarcity, it does not need to eat much food, since the bulb on its back can store energy from the sun.

==In the anime==
[[Image:EP010.png|thumb|right|{{AP|Bulbasaur}} in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Bulbasaur]]====
Ash's Bulbasaur first debuted in ''[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]]'' as one of the Pokémon in the [[Hidden Village]]. Though initially wary of {{Ash}}, the two eventually warmed up to one another, and Bulbasaur challenged him to a battle. Using {{AP|Pikachu}}, Ash won the battle, and Bulbasaur was captured. Unlike {{AP|Charmander}} and {{AP|Squirtle}}, which were captured in the two episodes following that of Bulbasaur, Bulbasaur remained in Ash's party until ''[[EP225|Bulbasaur... the Ambassador!]]'', when Ash sent him to [[Professor Oak]]'s [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|lab]] to work as an ambassador between otherwise argumentative groups of Pokémon.

====[[May's Venusaur|May's Bulbasaur]]====
[[Image:Maybulbasaurvinewhip.jpg|thumb|right|[[May's Bulbasaur]] using {{m|Vine Whip}}]]
Much later on, when Ash was traveling in the [[Hoenn]] region, his companion {{an|May}} captured her own Bulbasaur after being separated from the group in ''[[AG073|Grass Hysteria]]''. It remained with her throughout the rest of her journey in Hoenn, helping her to compete in the [[Hoenn Grand Festival|regional]] [[Grand Festival]]. When she traveled to [[Kanto]] to continue her journey with Ash in ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'', May too left her Bulbasaur at Professor Oak's lab to learn from Ash's while she and Ash's group traveled throughout the {{ho|Battle Frontier}} in Kanto. May retrieved it during her travels in [[Johto]], where it evolved all the way into a Venusaur.

====Other====
A Bulbasaur that used to belong to the [[Mayor of Trovitopolis]] appeared in ''[[EP102|The Mystery Menace]]''. In his childhood, the mayor abandoned his Bulbasaur and sent it into the sewers when it wouldn't evolve into {{p|Ivysaur}}. Aided by [[Misty]] and {{Tracey}}, Ash found the abandoned Bulbasaur while searching for his own, which had gone missing. After defeating the arrogant mayor and his personal SWAT team, Ash and company left the Bulbasaur, which had grown rather large in its time in the sewers, with [[Nurse Joy]].

In ''[[H014|Journey to the Starting Line]]'', {{ka|Gilbert}}, the son of the mayor of [[Pallet Town]], was supposed to start his journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]] with one of the three Kanto Starter Pokémon, but they were scared off by [[Ash's Tauros]]. [[Professor Oak]], {{Tracey}}, {{Delia}} and Gilbert set out to find them. The Bulbasaur was the last one to be found and it was stuck in a tree that was surrounded by a group of {{p|Primeape}}. In the end, Bulbasaur was the one that Gilbert decided to start with.

===Minor appearances===
Bulbasaur was mentioned in the first episode of the anime, ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', as one of the three [[starter Pokémon]] new trainers in [[Pallet Town]] can choose from. Ash dreamed of owning one, and it was his second choice of a starter, after {{p|Squirtle}}. However, when he arrived at Oak's lab, it was too late, as an unnamed Trainer who started the same day had already taken it.

A Bulbasaur was used by one of the students of the [[Pokémon Trainer's School]] in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]''.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Kanto}}
{{Animedexbody|EP010|Bulbasaur|Ash's Pokédex|Bulbasaur, it bears the seed of a plant on it's back from birth. The seed slowly develops. Researchers are unsure whether to classify Bulbasaur as a plant or animal. Bulbasaur are extremely calm and are difficult to capture in the [[Wild Pokémon|wild]].}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|Original|Kanto}}

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon PiPiPi Adventure]], [[Pistachio]] has a Bulbasaur named [[Danerina]]. She has a crush on him and is extremely jealous whenever she sees him talking to other females.

Ash's Bulbasaur is shown in several chapters of the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]].

[[File:Redbulbasaur.jpg|thumb|left|Bulbasaur as it appears in [[Pokémon Special]].]]
===In the Pokémon Special manga===
In the {{Special|Red, Green & Blue chapter}}, {{Special|Red}} receives a [[Saur|Bulbasaur]] from [[Professor Oak]] in ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]'' after helping capture all the Pokémon he accidentally set free. Bulbasaur has since evolved into {{p|Ivysaur}}, and then to {{p|Venusaur}}. It has also been shown in the manga that Bulbasaur also has the ability to suck in air through its bulb (as seen in chapter 14 where it sucked up the mist in the ghost tower as well as the {{p|Gastly}} that made it).

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] and [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
Bulbasaur only appears as a random trophy.
====Trophy information====
Bulbasaur is a cute Pokémon born with a large seed firmly affixed to its back; the seed grows in size as the Pokémon does. Along with Squirtle and Charmander, Bulbasaur is one of the three Pokémon available at the beginning of Pokémon Red and Blue. It evolves into Ivysaur.

==Trivia==
* Bulbasaur's evolution family is the only starter Pokémon evolution family to have each member appear at least once in the Super Smash Bros. series.
* Bulbasaur's body is light green rather than blue-green in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] series.
** In contrast, the original artwork featured a bright blue body, but the [[FRLG]] artwork has a more greenish hue.
* Bulbasaur is the first Pokémon in the [[National Pokédex]] order. By default, this also makes it the first {{type2|Grass}}, {{type2|Poison}}, dual-type Pokémon, unevolved Pokémon, and [[starter Pokémon]] in National Pokédex order.
** Since in [[Generation I]], the {{type2|Bug}} was super-effective against {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon, Bulbasaur was also the first Pokémon with a double weakness (to {{t|Bug}}). This "honor" has since been taken by {{p|Charizard}}, which is doubly weak to {{type2|Rock}} moves.
* Bulbasaur and its evolutions share the same [[species]] name as {{p|Sunkern}}. They both are known as the Seed Pokémon.
* Bulbasaur's number in the [[National Pokédex]] and the [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Fiore Browser]] is the same: 001. This makes it and its evolution family one of only five families of Pokémon (comprising thirteen Pokémon altogether) to have the same numbers in more than one Pokédex-like listing.
* Bulbasaur is the only dual-typed starter Pokémon, with {{t|Grass}} and {{t|Poison}}, in its basic form, even in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]].
** By extrapolation, this also means that Bulbasaur is the only dual-typed Pokémon to begin a regional Pokédex - {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Treecko}}, and {{p|Turtwig}} are all only {{t|Grass}}.
* Though Bulbasaur have no gender differences in the games, May's Bulbasaur has little hearts on its head while Ash's does not, and has been confirmed female after its evolution.
** It's also one of the three Pokémon that appeared in the anime with a heart-shaped spot, the others being {{p|Spinda}} and {{p|Wooper}}.
* Bulbasaur is the only Pokémon that can learn {{m|Petal Dance}} by {{pkmn|breeding}}, while {{p|Venusaur|its final evolution}} learns it by leveling up.
* In Kanto, Bulbasaur has more advantages against Gym Leaders than the other starters. Its {{type2|Grass}} attacks make it effective against Pokémon in the {{gy|Pewter}}, {{gy|Cerulean}}, and {{gy|Viridian}} Gyms. Its {{t|Grass}} and {{t|Poison}} types also make it resistant to the Vermilion and Celadon Gyms' types. It only has weaknesses to the {{gy|Cinnabar}} and {{gy|Saffron}} Gyms.
* Bulbasaur and Pikachu were on {{Ash}}'s team in the anime for the longest continuous period of time. Their in-game cries are also variations of each other.
* In [[Generation IV]], [[Invisible shiny Bulbasaur|there exists]] a [[Glitch Pokémon]] that shares Bulbasaur's cry.
* Bulbasaur is the only {{type2|Poison}} [[starter Pokémon]].

===Origin===
Bulbasaur appears to be based on some form of ''{{wp|Dicynodont}}'', mammal-like reptiles from the {{wp|Permian}} period. Its bulb resembles that of a {{wp|lily}}.

====Name origin====
Bulbasaur's name is a combination of the words ''{{wp|bulb}}'' and ''saur'', which is {{wp|Greek language|Greek}} for ''lizard''. Its Japanese name literally means ''it's strange, isn't it?'', and is a pun on, 不思議種 ''fushigidane'', strange seed.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Bisasam - Derived from ''Bisamratte'' ({{wp|muskrat}}) and ''Samen'' ({{wp|seed}}).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Bulbizarre - A combination of ''bulb'' and ''bizarre'', reflected by the Japanese name, a pun on "Isn't it strange?".
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 이상해씨 ''Isanghaessi'' - Translates to ''Strange Seed''.

Talk:Pokémon breeding

2009-08-19T19:41:03Z

PharosAM: /* Need Explaination */

OOps. [[User:Evkl|Evkl]] 01:45, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Should this be listed under Pokémon Breeding or simply Breeding? -[[user:greengiant|greengiant]]

Probably Poke breeding with a redirect from "breeding"

A picture says more than tousand words

== Strange Breeding: How did these things happen? ==

A couple of strange things happened to me when I was breeding a male Blaziken with a female Phanpy (which is strange enough in itself, I guess)
#When the egg hatched, the Phanpy knew Rock Smash. This shouldn't have been able to happen because I had previously deleted Rock Smash from Blaziken via the Move Deleter guy.
#The Phanpy hatched holding a PP Up! Needless to say, I was thrilled, but is there any reason for this occurance? Is it random or predictable?
Thanks a lot →[[User:Evin290|Evin290]] 12:18, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

:I don;t know about the first, but I believe the second is because of Phanphy's ability "Pickup".--[[User:Skully Collins|Skully Collins]] 08:42, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Yeah the PP Up is definetly a result of the pick-up. As for the rock smash, no clue. --[[User:Blaziken=Tahu|Blaziken=Tahu]] 02:58, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

== Abilities ==
I have seen, and the D/P Nintendo power guide states that, you can pass on abilities via breeding. This would be important to note, wouldn't it? It seems like something that big should be listed. Especially when you consider the possibilities! (I personally love my wonder-guarded sableye) Also, I think this should possibly be noted in the "chain breeding" section as well.
--[[User:TheCakeIsALie|TheCakeIsALie]] 02:51, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

True. Good eye. You may place it in the article in the appropriate place. And don't forget your sig or people won't know who you are.{{ani|486}}[[User:Pokemaniac102|<big>'''''Poke'''''</big>]][[User talk:Pokemaniac102|'''''Maniac''''']][[Special:Contributions/Pokemaniac102|<big>'''''102'''''</big>]]{{ani|492}} 06:28, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Crap, thanks for pointing that out. Dang... But on another note, you CAN pass abilities legitimately, but I misread: they are passed along by the mother, so it would stay in the proper species. (the example given in NP's guide is 2 bibarel breed. Mother has Simple, father has Unaware, so offspring is a Bidoof with Simple.) So I was halfway right, but again, thanks for poiinting that out. I guess I ought to not use it much then, huh?--[[User:TheCakeIsALie|TheCakeIsALie]] 02:51, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

== Tauros & Miltank ==

Can anybody confirm for certain that their eggs are supposed to be 50% Tauros and 50% Miltank? I've personally hatched 11 eggs from a Tauros and a Ditto, and all of them were Tauros, which means I must be exceptionally unlucky if half of them are supposed to be Miltank. FYI, I'm playing Diamond where Miltank are rarer than Tauros (the opposite is true in Pearl). I thought it would be easier to breed a Miltank than catch one. [[User:Drapion|Drapion]] 17:28, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

I think the 50-50 chance thing is only if you breed a Miltank with Ditto; all of Tauros's kids with Ditto will be Tauros. [[User:Fsilone|Fsilone]] 22:29, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

:There is no way in any of the games for Tauros to hatch from a Miltank egg, or for Miltank to hatch from a Tauros egg. MorningStar edited this page with a note indicating otherwise as early as in March 2006, which is to say without knowledge of Diamond and Pearl. I believe no one bothered to fix it then due to the possibility of that holding true in the upcoming games, and since their release everyone has assumed the statement to be true because it was on the page so early on. Regardless of the reason, this note should have long been removed; it is easy to verify that even when breeding Miltank and Tauros ''together'' in the latest games, the product is still always a Miltank. I have done so for the sake of being on the safe side. [[User:Unown Lord|Unown Lord]] 13:30, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

::I've changed this section of the page. I can confirm empirically (hatched 41 eggs: 28 from a Miltank + Ditto, 13 from a Miltank + various Ground-group Pokes) that you cannot hatch a Tauros from a Miltank egg in Pokemon Pearl, and I assume the same goes for Diamond; based on Unown Lord's comments I am assuming this applies to all the games. If it turns out you can, then feel free to revert the page - I haven't hacked the code, this is entirely based on testing, so it's possibly that I was ''extremely'' unlucky and happened to get 41 eggs that all hatched Miltank purely by chance, but I think that's unlikely.

::The only sources I can find online that support the Miltank/Tauros breeding line are either questionable (user FAQs on the Marriland forum that contain other errors) or based on this site. [[User:Castorquinn|Castorquinn]] 22:30, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

== Ditto + Ditto? ==

Someone settle something for me: Can you breed Ditto with Ditto? - [[User:Cassius335|Cassius335]]

No. I tried. - [[User:MacGyver|MacGyver]]

Thanks. *notices the Discussion page for Ditto and wonders why he didn't look there in the first place*. - [[User:Cassius335|Cassius335]]

Then how are there wild ditto if they can't breed together?
Do they spontaneously appear or something? [[User:Chuck67322|Chuck67322]] 05:14, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Ditto looks like a big pile of goo, maybe over time they split in half like bacteria. [[User:Darkcloud1111|Darkcloud1111]] 00:57, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

== Technical Question ==

Do the natures of the parents make any difference on whether or not they will produce an egg? I'm trying to get my Dragonite to give Outrage to a new Gible, and the old man in Solaceon says they don't like eachother at all... Obviously that's not good, but why, and what can I do to change it?
:At all? ..are you sure you're breeding a Dragonite with a <s>complete haxxmacheen</s> Garchomp?

:I have had similar problems. Sometimes I always make sure to check the Egg Groups before I attempt breeding, but every once in a while, the Daycare Man in Diamond tells me that they dislike each other. (oops, forgot to sign) --[[User:Dual|Dual]] 05:09, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

There's no problem at all, peeps! If 'They don't like each other very much' it doesn't matter! AS long as they don't totally despise each other that's okay. I tried Ditto with my Lucario (TTE said it would work) and it worked altough they didn't like each other!

::Why do I feel compelled to respond to this comment by saying "Rape!"[[User:Mystrich|Mystrich]] 06:06, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

The message “They don´t seem to like each other much.” indicates that the Pokémon are of different species but have the same trainer IDs, which means that out of all breedable Pokémon pairs, they have the lowest chance of producing an egg. This lower chance translates to a statistically longer period of waiting until the Daycare man hands you the egg, but nothing beyond that. [[User:Unown Lord|Unown Lord]] 10:25, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

I think it means that it's sort of like when two people pretend to hate each other but they really love each other but don't know it themselves. Eventually they find what they have in common and fall in love. [[User:TorchicBlaziken|TorchicBlaziken]] ([[User_talk:TorchicBlaziken|talk]]) 15:24, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
== Question ==

"However, there are two pairs of Pokémon species where the male and female are treated as different Pokémon. In these cases, the egg may hatch into either the male or female species:

*[[Nidoran♀ (Pokémon)|Nidoran♀]] and [[Nidoran♂ (Pokémon)|Nidoran♂]]
*[[Illumise (Pokémon)|Illumise]] and [[Volbeat (Pokémon)|Volbeat]]"

Would this also be true in the case of Tauros and Miltank? Could a Miltank have an egg containing Tauros? Just asking cause it's not listed in the article. --[[Special:Contributions/Kenji-girl|☆]][[Tracey Sketchit|ケンジ]][[User:Kenji-girl|ガール]] 10:17, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Would it be true to say that only the female can lay and egg that could be either? I tried breeding a Nidoran♂ with a Ditto to get a [[Nidoran♀ (Pokémon)|♀]] but I just ended up with a dozen [[Nidoran♂ (Pokémon)|♂]]s. I did succesfully get a [[Volbeat (Pokémon)|Volbeat]] from an [[Illumise (Pokémon)|Illumise]].
Oh, and [[Tauros (Pokémon)|Tauros]] and [[Miltank (Pokémon)|Miltank]] are also linked.. [[User:Woodland Mudkip|Woodland Mudkip]] ☆{{MS|001|Bulbasaur}} 11:02, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

:Your first assertion is correct, and has thus been added to the page. As noted in a paragraph above by myself, Tauros and Miltank are simply not linked. It seems to me that the disillusion of not having a calf-like Pokémon as a pre-evolution to both, has caused a multitude of fans to believe in some fabricated indication that one is forthcoming. [[User:Unown Lord|Unown Lord]] 06:24, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

== TMs ==

Can you pass down TM moves that weren't learned by TM? I'm going to breed my male Banette with Will-O-Wisp (Learned naturally) with a female Drifloon, and I'm wondering if it'll pass down Will-O-Wisp... {{ani|281}}[[User:TinaTheKirlia|Tina]][[User:TinaTheKirlia/Sandbox|☆]][[User:TinaTheKirlia/Favorites|♥]][[User talk:TinaTheKirlia|♫]][http://freewebs.com/thepixelcafe δ]{{MS|281|Kirlia}} 20:10, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Inbreeding is when closely related individuals mate and have children. It's very taboo in human culture but animal breeders do this with certain breeds of an animal, like dogs. It's not a good idea for people inbreed because recessive genes could be more pronounced and genetic defects can occur. - PDL

== Uhh yeah ==

Uhm. This is weird, but i've had two weird things happen with breeding that make little sense. Like, first, this happened today, i put my Shieldon and Cranidos in the day-care (one female, the other male) and the old man said "These two prefer too play with other Pokémon" and i like, i came back too get them and they'd had an egg, and last time i checked, "They prefer too play with other Pokémon" meant they weren't going too have an egg (i took the egg anyway). Uhm, the second thing, which is really weird, happened a few months ago on my Pokémon Emerald, i put my male Charizard and male Blaziken in the Daycare (cos i'm too lazy too train them myself) ...and they had an egg |: Last time i checked, Guy + Guy does not = baby/egg |: I'm 100% sure they we're both male. I was pretty sure it was just a glitch in the game, but i was wondering if it's happened too anyone else? (also, the egg was a normal Torchic, normal stats, normal moves, nothing weird/glitch-y about it)

==Length of time to breed==
After getting frustrated by the time it took to breed on my old silver version, I looked around for information on how long it takes two pokemon to have an egg, and I found [http://www.angelfire.com/wizard/rossos_pokemon/breeding.html this site]. This is information I think bulbapedia needs. The problem is, I don't have any other sources on it, it doesn't say if the formula holds true for later Gens as well, and the author admits that his numbers are estimates. Does anyone know anything about this topic? [[User:Cheesus Is Lord|Cheesus Is Lord]] 22:09, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

== Female Eevees ==

Hi I've tried to breed my Eevee several times but everytime time I do I get male Eevees and I kinda wanna have a female one, I was wondering if there's any way to force an egg to hatch into a female pokemon r something, I've tried hatching it in Foarama town like I read somewhere but that didnt work..
Having said that I did get a female Eevee once but it was very random

== Multiple eggs ==

I've been hatching several eggs at a time (getting three eggs, storing the parents, and then running up and down), and the number of steps in between hatches is always a multiple of 255, with 510 as the minimum (recent numbers are 510 and 1275). The steps between picking up the eggs are as low as 256, and I was carrying around Camerupt with Magma Armor. The numbers don't make sense unless there's some delay added to the other eggs when picking up eggs or hatching them, or some other weird hidden factor.

Also, if makes since if you think about the hereditary moves, TM it can learn, etc when you pick which Pokémon you want to breed to get the egg. --[[User:Blaziken=Tahu|Blaziken=Tahu]] 20:50, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

== Egg Moves ==
How are egg moves determined? I mean, theres a list of moves that can be learned by pokemon by breeding for each pokemon. Was that found out by testing, and so its possible there are others it could learn, or is there a certain list of moves that a pokemon can use determined by the game and so anything thats not listed can't ever be learned?

In the Trivia section it reads, "No negative effects occur from inbreeding Pokémon in Generation III and Generation IV, despite this being impossible in Generation II." Can someone please explain this statement? - [[User:Zedd|Zedd]] 17:49, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
:It may be referencing that, in real life, inbreeding can lead to developmental problems in the newborns, and so no such issues (always poor IVs, for example, or crappy natures) would occur in the Pokemon games. The second part is straightforward; you cannot breed a parent Pokemon with its offspring in G/S/C. I'm not sure if sibling breeding is allowed, however.

::Actually, there is debate among scientific circles as to the validity of superstitions that inbreeding causes developmental defects. While more recent articles focus more on how this does lead to homozygosity and an increase in recessive alleles, an article from the Dept of Biostatistics study concludes that, "No significant differences existed in the incidence of congenital anomalies among offspring between the consanguineous and non-consanguineous marriages in the rural or in the urban area." (Rao and Inbaraj, 1980). This doesn't necessarily write out its nature as a taboo subject in non-scholarly circles, but please enjoy just one of many scholarly articles on the subject, this one by the Dept of Biostatistics found in the Journal of Medical Genetics: [http://jmg.bmj.com/cgi/content/abstract/17/1/27 Inbreeding effects on fetal growth and development] I admit it's an older article, but newer articles tend to focus on studied genetic changes other than "defects".

== Tauros and Miltank again ==

From the article: ''Note that while Miltank and Tauros are considered to be the female and male of the same species in the canon, for the purposes of breeding they are separate species''

In what canon, exactly, are they considered "male and female of the same species"? Wouldn't, by nature of the fact that they cannot breed with each other to produce baby Tauros or Miltank, they NOT be [[User:Starscream|Starscream]] 20:55, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

A couple of strange things happened to me when I was breeding a male Blaziken with a female Phanpy (which is strange enough in itself, I guess)
#When the egg hatched, the Phanpy knew Rock Smash. This shouldn't have been able to happen because I had previously deleted Rock Smash from Blaziken via the Move Deleter guy.
#The Phanpy hatched holding a PP Up! Needless to say, I was thrilled, but is there any reason for this occurance? Is it random or predictable?
Thanks a lot →[[User:Evin290|Evin290]] 12:18, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

== Tauros & Miltank ==

Can anybody confirm for certain that their eggs are supposed to be 50% Tauros and 50% Miltank? I've personally hatched 11 eggs from a Tauros and a Ditto, and all of them were Tauros, which means I must be exceptionally unlucky if half of them are supposed to be Miltank. FYI, I'm playing Diamond where Miltank are rarer than Tauros (the opposite is true in Pearl). I thought it would be easier to breed a Miltank than catch one. [[User:Drapion|Drapion]] 17:28, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

I think the 50-50 chance thing is only if you breed a Miltank with Ditto; all of Tauros's kids with Ditto will be Tauros. [[User:Fsilone|Fsilone]] 22:29, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

:There is no way in any of the games for Tauros to hatch from a Miltank egg, or for Miltank to hatch from a Tauros egg. MorningStar edited this page with a note indicating otherwise as early as in March 2006, which is to say without knowledge of Diamond and Pearl. I believe no one bothered to fix it then due to the possibility of that holding true in the upcoming games, and since their release everyone has assumed the statement to be true because it was on the page so early on. Regardless of the reason, this note should have long been removed; it is easy to verify that even when breeding Miltank and Tauros ''together'' in the latest games, the product is still always a Miltank. I have done so for the sake of being on the safe side. [[User:Unown Lord|Unown Lord]] 13:30, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

::I've changed this section of the page. I can confirm empirically (hatched 41 eggs: 28 from a Miltank + Ditto, 13 from a Miltank + various Ground-group Pokes) that you cannot hatch a Tauros from a Miltank egg in Pokemon Pearl, and I assume the same goes for Diamond; based on Unown Lord's comments I am assuming this applies to all the games. If it turns out you can, then feel free to revert the page - I haven't hacked the code, this is entirely based on testing, so it's possibly that I was ''extremely'' unlucky and happened to get 41 eggs that all hatched Miltank purely by chance, but I think that's unlikely.

The message “They don´t seem to like each other much.” indicates that the Pokémon are of different species but have the same trainer IDs, which means that out of all breedable Pokémon pairs, they have the lowest chance of producing an egg.

:Are you sure? Notice that it says it doesn't work when the two Pokémon are from different language cartridges. E.g., it doesn't work if you try to breed an American Pokémon and a Japanese Pokémon together. — [[User:Laoris|Laoris]] ([[User_Talk:Laoris|Blah]]) 20:56, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
::Let me double check the foriegn, but I know it works with two pokemon of the same cartridges. I'm almost positive it still works. [[User:Rappak|Rappak]] 21:20, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
:::Yes, it does work with two Pokémon from the same cartridge, but not with two foreign Pokémon, and that is what the article is referring to. — [[User:Laoris|Laoris]] ([[User_Talk:Laoris|Blah]])

== Inbreedible Pokemon? ==
Okay so I have this male Charizard that I want to breed so I can send the Charmander over to my Leaf Green Version. I put it in the daycare with SEVERAL DIFFERENT Dittos, each with a different nature. All of them did not have interest in my Charizard or vice-versa. I looked up the nature and noticed that it had a LAX nature (Charizard). Do I need a certain natured ditto or something to be able to breed? --[[User:Blaziken=Tahu|Blaziken=Tahu]] 03:02, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

what was the exact message the guy said? if he said "they dont seem to like each other" that means they will still breed but it just takes a little while longer, if he said "they prefer to play with other pokemon" then they cant breed and never will [[User:Happizelpom|Happi]][[User talk:Happizelpom|zel]][[Special:Contributions/Happizelpom|pom]] 22:54, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

yep, they'll still breed. Thanks alot everyone. --[[User:Blaziken=Tahu|Blaziken=Tahu]] 23:48, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

== Genders ==

When are they defined for the egg, when it is received or when it hatches? [[User:Anastius|Anastius]] 10:15, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
:What do you mean by "defined".--[[User:Clarky13|'''Clarky''']][[User talk:Clarky13|'''13''']] 10:18, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
::In the game data - the user wishes to know if once the player receives the egg, the gender of the hatched Pokemon has already been set. In my experience, yes, along with the nature. But I could have just been really unlucky. — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 20:54, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
::: It is definitely set when it hatches. I have hatched an army of Scyther (trying to get one with a "Rash" nature) and the gender and nature were always the same for the pokemon, even if i saved the game before it hatched, had it do so, and restarted it. So yes, gender and nature are determined when the Egg is conceived. Also, if makes since if you think about the hereditary moves, TM it can learn, etc when you pick which Pokémon you want to breed to get the egg. --[[User:Blaziken=Tahu|Blaziken=Tahu]] 20:50, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

== Egg Moves ==
How are egg moves determined? I mean, theres a list of moves that can be learned by pokemon by breeding for each pokemon. Was that found out by testing, and so its possible there are others it could learn, or is there a certain list of moves that a pokemon can use determined by the game and so anything thats not listed can't ever be learned? ([[User:MaoDaAmargura|MaoDaAmargura]] 01:30, 4 February 2009 (UTC))
:its shown in the official Guide books, and some are made off of users testing it. EG tangela has an unlisted move[[User:DCM|DCM]][[User talk:DCM|((Mock Me]][[Special:Contributions/DCM|Edits))]] 02:48, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
::It's also in the game's internal coding. — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 06:31, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
:::Yes, but i think hes referring to how we found it. Not all of us can access the coding, I assure you.[[User:DCM|DCM]][[User talk:DCM|((Mock Me]][[Special:Contributions/DCM|Edits))]] 01:33, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

== I dont get it........ ==

== Need Explaination ==

In the Trivia section it reads, "No negative effects occur from inbreeding Pokémon in Generation III and Generation IV, despite this being impossible in Generation II." Can someone please explain this statement? - [[User:Zedd|Zedd]] 17:49, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
:It may be referencing that, in real life, inbreeding can lead to developmental problems in the newborns, and so no such issues (always poor IVs, for example, or crappy natures) would occur in the Pokemon games. The second part is straightforward; you cannot breed a parent Pokemon with its offspring in G/S/C. I'm not sure if sibling breeding is allowed, however. [[User:Starscream|Starscream]] 14:05, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
::Is it mentioned anywhere in the article, other than in the trivia, about inbreeding being impossible in Generation II? I skimmed over the article and saw nothing, but I might be wrong. I suggest, if it isn't already there, someone do a little segment on this, as I didn't really notice this in-game and it's kinda interesting. I'd do it myself, but I don't know much about the breeding of Generation II, and I've lost Crystal right now, and my emulators are too laggy to play on my laptop. [[User:Takoto|~~Takoto]] - [[User_talk:Takoto|サソデイ]] 15:01, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
:::@Star - Sibling breeding is allowed, the mechanics that prevent Parent-child breeding are related to IVs (or DV, as they were caled back then) and there is no relation on opposite sex siblings' IVs in GSC.
:::@It does, in the "Inheriting stats" section. [[User:Mr. Charlie|'''Mr. Charlie''']]([[User_Talk:Mr. Charlie|''TalkToMe'']]) 15:38, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
::Actually, there is debate among scientific circles as to the validity of superstitions that inbreeding causes developmental defects. While more recent articles focus more on how this does lead to homozygosity and an increase in recessive alleles, an article from the Dept of Biostatistics study concludes that, "No significant differences existed in the incidence of congenital anomalies among offspring between the consanguineous and non-consanguineous marriages in the rural or in the urban area." (Rao and Inbaraj, 1980). This doesn't necessarily write out its nature as a taboo subject in non-scholarly circles, but please enjoy just one of many scholarly articles on the subject, this one by the Dept of Biostatistics found in the Journal of Medical Genetics: [http://jmg.bmj.com/cgi/content/abstract/17/1/27 Inbreeding effects on fetal growth and development]

== Tauros and Miltank again ==

From the article: ''Note that while Miltank and Tauros are considered to be the female and male of the same species in the canon, for the purposes of breeding they are separate species''

In what canon, exactly, are they considered "male and female of the same species"? Wouldn't, by nature of the fact that they cannot breed with each other to produce baby Tauros or Miltank, they NOT be [[User:Starscream|Starscream]] 20:55, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
:??? They can breed with each other to produce baby Miltank... But I agree, not the same species, would like to hear what canon says so. Also, that bit about Volbeat and Nido♂ breeding with Ditto is interesting, {{tt|Pokémon must have ZW sex chromosomes|and no I am not going to campaign to have that included in the article}}. --[[User:LaprasBoi|LaprasBoi]] 22:48, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

== Hatched Genders ==

Has anyone figured out when a newly-hatched Pokémon's gender is set? Does it happen at the time of the egg's conception, or does it happen when it's hatched? --[[User:Dual|Dual]] 03:33, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
