== Template? ==

This page was an excellent idea, but I wonder if there's a way to indicate in each move's article when it belongs to one of these "archetypes". --[[User:Johans|Johans Nidorino]] 21:10, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

I suggested it but it was forgotten later on; and unfortunately, I don't know how to make templates. -([[User:Llxwarbirdxll|Llxwarbirdxll]] 02:35, 29 May 2007 (UTC))

::Maybe this is not the right place to suggest, but take a look at the template (Flamethrower as an example):

== New Variation ==

There neeeds to be a Move Variation for the Following moves:
* {{m|Psybeam}}
* {{m|BubbleBeam}}
* {{m|Aurora Beam}}
* {{m|Sludge}}
* {{m|Spark}}
I have checked them all out and they each have:
* Power: 65
* Accuracy: 100%
* PP: 20
P.S. I don't know how to do this myself so really I'm asking for somebody to do this for me!
[[User:Tesh|Tesh]] 16:53, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Actually, I'm not sure if this should be counted as they each have a different added effect, either a [[status ailment]] or a [[stat]] change. Somebody gie me their:view...[[User:Tesh|Tesh]] 20:32, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
:Maybe keep the status-changing ones together, and keep the stat-changing ones together, but keep them separate. That means {{m|Psybeam}}, {{m|Sludge}}, and {{m|Spark}} go together, and {{m|BubbleBeam}} and {{m|Aurora Beam}} go together.
:And don't forget to use the {{template|m}} template for moves. '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 00:22, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
By the way, I think you've got the wrong idea. I'm not sure on how to create the move variation. I only realised they were similar... [[User:Tesh|Tesh]] 15:34, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

== "Or" ==

Is "10 or 15" valid [[Move variations#Variations of Shadow Ball|here]]? I'd say the use of every possible move variation no matter the amount of PPs it has would require a redefinition. BTW, {{m|Ice Beam}} and {{m|Thunder}} don't belong in the tables they've been introduced in if following the original criterion. --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 05:04, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I put those there. I'll have them removed. [[User:Llxwarbirdxll|Llxwarbirdxll]] 08:20, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

:LOL, now somebody else did the same with variations of Slash, Waterfall, and Shadow Ball :P --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 16:08, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

People are no longer respecting the "PPs" part of the definition. With "Variations of Flamethrower" the article mentions neither 15 nor 10 now. If this is going to continue, maybe Bulbapedia's definition on "move variations" should no longer include PPs, which seems to be the least important of the three columns. --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 18:35, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

== Seismic Toss and Night Shade? ==

Those belong on the list, right?
[[User:Angerman|Angerman]] 20:10, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
:Doesn't {{m|Night Shade}} do somewhere from 1 to 1.5x the level? I know {{m|Seismic Toss}} does the level. '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 23:07, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

:Yeah, there's a few missing bits. [[User:Angerman|Angerman]] 00:10, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

== Mean Look/Block/Spider Web? ==

I noticed there isn't a section for these three moves, and while Block and Mean Look fit a "5 PP, Prevents foe from escaping" description, Spider Web only has one thing setting them apart and that's the PP issue. Should I add it anyway? [[User:TinaTheKirlia|TinaTheKirlia]] 01:47, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
:Add only Mean Look and Block. That's what has been done in these cases to agree with the current definition of "move archetypes". --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 08:01, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

== Counter and Mirror Coat? ==

I'm really surprised no one did this - they both have 10PP, varying power, 100% accuracy and they both go last and counter the foe's attack at two times the power. I was trying to find a good way to summarize it though - how's this? "Goes last and counters the move used by the foe at twice the power". [[User:TinaTheKirlia|Tina]][[User talk:TinaTheKirlia|The]][[Kirlia (Pokémon)|Kirlia]] ♥ 21:23, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Even though they're listed under variations of Recover.. they both can do something Recover can not -- heal other Pokémon's HP outside of battle. I think this deserves a mention. :P [[User:Tina|Tina]] [[Special:Contributions/Tina|δ]][[User talk:Tina|♫]] 18:58, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

== Contests? ==

I think it would be incredibly useful to have a version of this page for contests, since many of the moves do the exact same things.
Thoughts...? [[User:Maki|Maki]] 13:47, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
:I agree. However it'd have to be set up differently. It'd be like... effect, cute moves, beauty moves, smart moves, tough moves, cool moves. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]Fire echy''' 20:49, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

== Blizzard ==

Are Magma Storm and Focus Blast ''really'' variations of Blizzard? Neither inflict a status ailment and Magma Storm sounds more like a multi-turn move. The only similarities seem to be 120 power

Also, I think Thunder should be added as a variation. It has 10 PP, not 5, but it causes a status ailment, has 120 power and 70 accuracy. [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] 20:28, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
:Thunder and Blizzard also have their accuracy at 100% when used during a specific weather condition. Magma Storm seems most like Outrage, though that goes 2-3 turns, and Focus Blast is just... its own thing. Not ''every'' move has a counterpart, that's what people need to remember. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]Fire echy''' 20:38, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
::That's what I mean, a lot of the moves I mentioned, as well as Hydro Pump, Seed Flare and Fire Blast are all ''similar'', but variations of each other? I'd say they're similar moves, but not direct variations. [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] 20:40, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
:::Yes. Variations: Do the same thing. Similarity: have the same PP, power, or accuracy but don't do the same thing. Outrage and Thrash are variations, despite Outrage now being 120 power. Focus Blast and Blizzard are not because all they share is accuracy and power. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]Fire echy''' 21:21, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
::::So, should we move some of the moves I mentioned around? That's what I've been suggesting. I think Magma Storm should be grouped with Outrage and Thrash, and Blizzard, Thunder and Gunk Shot should be in a group. Maybe Seed Flare and Focus Blast too, their effects are identical except for accuracy. [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] 00:39, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

:Ice Beam is the most useful of all three, but is still the same. Same power, accuracy and rate to inflict a status problem. Part of Ice Beam may be the fact frozen Pokémon are helpless. [[User:Gywall|'''Gywall''']]([[User_talk:Gywall|Talk]]) 21:15, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Since the moves were looking kinda messy, since the order was somewhat random, I went and moved the sections around to order it A-Z. Exceptions being Elemental X and the OHKO moves as they are listed differently. [[User:Gywall|'''Gywall''']]([[User_talk:Gywall|Talk]]) 17:27, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

== Sections for both {{m|Tail Glow}} AND {{m|Agility}}? ==

I've noticed that there are two sections that both share similar attributes, both sections detail moves that have 20 PP but increase a stat two stages, however, One details just Special attack raisers while the other details the other ones.

Should there be two or should they be put together? [[User:PDL|PDL]] 00:22, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

== This page needs work ==

First of all, should PP be accounted for or not? Right now, some do and some don't. I don't really care which one we go with, so long as it's consistent.

Second, effects are not being grouped together consistently either. Example: Spark has a 30% chance of inducing Paralyze. Psybeam has a 10% chance of inducing Confusion. 30 != 10. Another example: Flamethrower has a 10% chance of inducing Burn. Surf has 0% chance of inducing anything at all, and has a different target range on top of that. Also, the diffence between "Acid Armor variations" and "Amnesia variations"? Ignoring the PP difference (the Acid Armor variations already do this anyway), who really cares if they raise Special stats or not? You could just as easily group them by Defense or Attack stats. On the other hand, I say just go with "raises a stat by two stages" and leave it at that.

Third, I do not think "non-[http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/volatile volatile]" means what you think it means. Why not just put "non-damaging effect" or something else a bit more clear and grammatically correct? [[User:Dragoness|Dragoness]] 04:57, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

:I never thought PP should be accounted for. A lot of the moves might have the same PP but if all the important other stuff is the same, the moves are pretty much variations! [[User:Toastypk|'''''~Toastypk''''']] - [[User_Talk:Toastypk|'''Loom.''']] 05:06, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

::If there's only one thing different about a move variation, it can still be considered a variation.

[[User:Chocolate|Chocolate]] ([[User talk:Chocolate|Chat with Me]]) 00:44, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
:::Actually, you could argue that Surf is a variation of Earthquake, since they have the same range and the same effect (none). Surf has more PP and less power, but it also has two things different from Flamethrower: range and effect. See? You can't just go "Oh they're close ENOUGH", you have to pick your criteria and stick with it. Either effect counts or it doesn't count. Either range counts or it doesn't count. Either PP counts or it doesn't count. If you start flubbing things, that's only going to make things more complicated down the line. [[User:Dragoness|Dragoness]] 03:23, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

::::I don't think there needs to be a set of rigid rules for move variations. By definition, variation implies differing conditions, character, and degree. That said, I do think that a move variations should have identical or ''very'' similar effects. PP and base power are relatively unimportant to me, when two moves have unique identical effects. Consider Bind, Fire Spin, and Whirlpool: they are all multi-turn attacks that trap their foe. They work exactly the same, and have relatively unique effects (only a handful of moves work like this). However, Bulbapedia currently only considers Fire Spin and Whirlpool as "variations". — [[User:Laoris|Laoris]] ([[User_Talk:Laoris|Blah]]) 03:18, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
:::::I think that trapping should have its own page. It's not as if the creators sat around and thought, "Hey, wouldn't it be cool to have a clone of this move for that element?" I think the process was more like, "Hey, why not have this as a mechanic?" --[[User:Raijinili|Raijinili]] 05:12, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
:::::Minor problem with that though. Ember, Flamethrower and Fire Blast (and probably others but those are the big ones) all have a 10% chance of causing burn. Moreover, they're all Fire attacks. If we go solely by effect, then that makes them variations of each other. So then we have moves that are multiple variations in one. Is that really ok? I mean, I can see it going either way...

:::::One possibility is to split it into two things, where there are moves that are strictly exact copies of each other minus type and specific effect (not % chance of effect though, that has to say the same), and then other moves that just do the same thing but are not exact copies. Like, if I want to look for moves that cause Burn, there could be a category that I could go to and look there, and likewise for moves that cause trapping, or moves that hit everyone on the field. Does that sound reasonable? [[User:Dragoness|Dragoness]] 01:14, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

::::::I'm not talking about secondary effects like 10% of burn or confusion. I agree that there should be a [[list of moves that burn]] (not a category, unfortunately), but I don't think they should be considered variations. In my mind, examples of move variations are moves that have some unique game mechanic, such as {{m|Wrap|multi-turn}} {{m|Magma Storm|trapping}} {{m|Sand Tomb|moves}}, {{m|Fly|moves with}} {{m|Dig|an initial}} {{m|Shadow Force|invulnerable}} {{m|Dive|turn}}, {{m|Block|moves that}} {{m|Spider Web|prevent}} {{m|Mean Look|escape}}, or {{m|Protect|moves that can negate}} {{m|Detect|all negative effects}}—Moves that work so similarly that there are, for example, abilities that negate the set of them or moves that counter-act a set of them. These should be considered move variations. — [[User:Laoris|Laoris]] ([[User_Talk:Laoris|Blah]]) 01:33, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Starting tabs over.

I've always considered anything that does not cause damage on an otherwise damaging move to be a secondary effect so I think we are going to differ in thought there, unfortunately. Example: Razor Wind requires charging, has a high crit rate and deals damage, so the charging and high crit rate are both secondary effects. Screech causes only Defense down, so Defense down is the primary effect.

Taking each thing in turn, I don't think that just because Wrap and Magma Storm both cause multi-turn trapping is enough for them to be considered variations. They ought to have a page specifying this, but this does not make them variations, in the same way as Ember and Flamethrower. Ditto with with the semi-invulnerable moves. They are different enough (note which moves can hit which during the invulnerable turn, not to mention Power) to warrant an obviously acknowledged ''similarity'' but not actual variations.

As for your last two examples, those moves DO essentially do the exact same thing in every way, with the exception of PP, so I think, if we decide to exclude PP from the criteria (which I am fairly convinced we ought to do by now), then yes, I would consider those move variations.

(Somewhat off-topic, why not a category instead of a page? Then there would be links from the moves pages themselves, so they can actually be found... The Pokédex has tons of categories, I've noticed...) [[User:Dragoness|Dragoness]] 02:14, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
:Also, {{m|Mud-Slap}} and {{m|Sand-Attack}} are both Ground moves with a 100% chance of lowering Accuracy, and this can be prevented by abilities such as {{a|Keen Eye}}, but they're still clearly not variations of each other, right? (Asking because I consider Wrap and Bind and the like to be moves with 100% chance of causing trapping) [[User:Dragoness|Dragoness]] 02:24, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
::Why aren't Wrap and Magma Storm variations? They have the same primary effects (inflict damage over several turns at the end of each turn) and secondary effects (trap target during those turns). (Though there's no official source ordering those as primary and secondary; they could just as easily be reversed.) I realize that Ember and Flamethrower also have the same primary and secondary effects, but another issue I pointed out above is ''unique game-mechanics''. There are a hundred moves that have the same primary effect as Ember and Flamethrower (inflict damage) and very similar secondary effects (10% of a major status ailment). However, there are only 5 moves that work like Wrap and Magma Storm. I think that makes them remarkable enough to be noted as move variations.
::Since the definition of variation means details can vary. That means we could consider numerous damaging moves to be variations of each other. But I don't think it's notable if they don't have something that sets them apart from other moves.
::(As for the category thing, I don't know for sure, but the tons of categories issue might be the reason they didn't want even more categories for each detail.) — [[User:Laoris|Laoris]] ([[User_Talk:Laoris|Blah]]) 02:39, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
:::It seems to me like what you want would be better expressed in a different page, like "Moves that cause the same unique effects" ...Okay, "same unique" is a bit oxymoronic, but you know what I mean. ^^;

:::The reason I chose Mud-Slap and Sand-Attack as examples is because they ARE unique, in that Accuracy is not a standard stat, and there are only 5 moves that lower accuracy (and none that raise it, I think): Mud-Slap, Sand-Attack, {{m|Flash}}, {{m|Mirror Shot}}, and {{m|Muddy Water}}, but these are clearly not similar in any other way but that. (Asides from Flash and Sand-Attack, I would consider those variations of the other, with Gen IV's de-nerfing of Flash.) This page seems to have been created to illustrate which moves have only minor differences, with Power, Accuracy and % effect and PP cited specifically as things that must be the same. No matter which way you cut it, the only thing Wrap and Magma Storm have in common is their secondary multi-turn trapping effect, and I consider multi-turn trapping damage to be a single secondary effect (You are never going to have one of those moves inflict one without the other). Primary effect defaults to damage except for moves that do not ever deal damage. The game even categorizes them as Physical [[Image:PhysicalIC.png]] and Special [[Image:SpecialIC.png]], not Status [[Image:StatusIC.png]]. You can cite their uniqueness, but there are only so many moves that do unique, specific things, like Burn, or charge, or high-crit, but then you'll end up with almost every move out there having at least one if not multiple variations. If you want to get really unique, {{m|Flame Wheel}} and {{m|Sacred Fire}} are the only moves that can thaw out their user. That makes them variations according to your definition, but they have nothing in common according to the definition already defined on this page. I think this all does deserve to be noted somewhere, but I don't think this is the right place, is what I'm trying to say. ._.; [[User:Dragoness|Dragoness]] 04:06, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

The only item-stealing damaging moves, with same power and accuracy, are yet to be covered here.

I've realized that Dragon Claw and the others are exactly like Strength but in type, so i've changed that, and made Strength as the first in the variation. This is my first edit, i hope it's all-right, I don't know if the move wasn't in there because it is a HM.

:Arm Thrust as a variation of Barrage

:Dark Pulse as variation of Zen Headbutt
:Fire Blast and Megahorn as variations of Blizzard

::Okay, I made a change that in hindsight I'm unsure of. In Gen 3, Leaf Blade fit the requirements to be considered a variation of Slash - 70 power, 15 pp, 100% accuracy, high chance for critical. But in Gen 4 it's power is 90, and it has its own variation now, Attack Order. So....what do we do? IMO, it should be considered variations of both, depending on the Generation.

:::Yeah, no. The Barrage variations all have the same power and accuracy, Arm Thrust only has the same power.

Dark Pulse has more accuracy than Zen Headbutt. Bind, Wrap, and Fire Spin all have differnt accuracies. There's more to this page than just "Oh, it looks similar or has similar accuracy/PP/Power/type!" There's reasons that most of these aren't on there. The ones that don't seem like they fit are included because they either were the same, or are now the same. And Leaf Blade doesn't count, because it's already in a category that's more specific. '''[[Team Rocket|R.A.]] [[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Hunter]] [[User Talk:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Blade]]''' 20:15, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

Why does Leaf Blade not count? It fit all the requirements before it's power was changed, if it doesn't count than neither does Zap Cannon as a variation of Dynamic Punch. [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] 20:26, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

:I went through the list, here's some examples of the above:
::Blizzard's requirements are "5 or 10 PP", because otherwise Thunder wouldn't qualify. Also, Focus Blast doesn't qualify because it doesn't cause a status ailment
::Zap Cannon is listed as a variation of Dynamic Punch, but it has different power.
::Seed Flare is listed as a variation of Fire Blast, but it doesn't cause a status ailment.
::Surf is listed as a variation of Flamethrower but doesn't cause a status, and it says so right on the page

Seed Flare and Fire Blast have the same power and accuracy, and both can have a secondary effect. As for Surf, I've always wondered that. I'll take that out of the template and this page.

:::::Moves can't be in more than one category, which is why Leaf Blade is with Attack Order, since they match exactly except for type. And you're still missing what I've been saying.

I am paying attention to what you're saying. Now pay attention to what I'm saying. Focus Blast does not cause a status ailment as the other variations do, and Seed Flare doesn't either. Zap Cannon and Focus Blast have different powers. So why are they listed? And again, ''Leaf Blade can count as a variation of both Slash and Attack Order'', so why do we count one over the other? Why are some exceptions made and not others? [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] 21:34, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
:No, I don't think you are. Focus Blast has a ''secondary effect'' like the others do, it's not limited to status or stat changes. As for Zap Cannon and Focus Blast, I just realized that yeah, it shouldn't be there. I'll change that too. If we put Leaf Blade in the Slash variations, then there wouldn't be one for Attack Order. And yeah, Leaf Blade ''used'' to be in both categories. It's not anymore. It has more power than Slash. The only ones that I can find that have different powers as of Gen IV are the Petal Dance variations. I'll see what I can do about that too.

Peck and Tackle aren't variations. Especially in generation V, where Tackle received a BP of 50.

== Definition ==

The definition isn't specific enough. "Move variations are moves that are identical to each other in terms of damage, PP, and accuracy, but have different elemental types, damage categories, or secondary effects." The definition works for damaging moves but according to it almost all status moves that have the same PP are variations of each other.

:How about something like, Status move variations are moves that raise or decrease the same number of stats by the same number of levels.

== Thrash, Petal Dance, and Outrage ==

Here's my question. Thrash and Petal Dance are grouped together, but Outrage is not included only because is has 15 PP instead of 10. This difference seems minor to me, and so I think Outrage should be insluded in this group, with a note on it. If this doesn't work, then it doesn't work, but I know for a fact that most people focos on the actual move and its effects, not the PP it has. There are even people in this talk (although from 2 years ago lol) that group them together, and I know that most people think they are the same move with different types, especially now that they have the same power in Gen V. --[[User:Jdthebud|Jdthebud]] 23:11, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

== PP shouldn't be taken into account ==

Taking the PP into account makes the list messier and more incomplete. They are also not the most important aspect anyway ingame: it doesn't really matter if a move has 35 PP or 40 PP. Seperating Night Slash from Slash, for example, causes an unnecesary amount of slots.--[[User:Grrgrrgrr1000|Grrgrrgrr1000]] 15:44, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
:I agree 100%. PP is such a minor detail, it shouldn't even matter. The important thing is base power, similar or identical side effects, and accuracy. Any move that only serves to boost a stat by two stages is a variation of Acid Armor. Well, I'm not entirely sure on Body Purge, given its other effect of halving the user's weight, but still.

Hasn't it been confirmed that the Oath moves can be used in any order to produce the same effect? Each individual page should be updated accordingly.

== Ignore base power differences, if the rest of the move is similar? ==

There may be one or two other examples of this, but the main one I'm thinking about is Zap Cannon in relation to DynamicPunch and Purgatory. Just because the base power of Zap was increased to 120 shouldn't disqualify it from being a variation of the other two moves, because they all have the same, and probably more important and notable properties of 50% accuracy and the guaranteed infliction of a status ailment (type/ability permitting).

Also, as an aside, why disqualify Surf from being similar to Tbolt, Flamer, Ice Beam and Slime Wave? It's also the Base 95, fully accurate move of it's type... '''[[User:TheChrisD|TheChrisD]]''' [[User_talk:TheChrisD|Rants]]•[[Special:Contributions/TheChrisD|Edits]] 02:21, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

::Still though, it does mean that they all have a secondary effect, simply because one of those effects does not actually inflict a status ailment shouldn't be enough to disqualify it from being considered a move variation, when in that case, the real important points to note of those moves are that they are the Base 95 move of their type.
::While Zap is currently being taken as a ''former'' variation, that's simply because of the change in Base Power - but in the case of their group, the most notable feature of them is their 50% accuracy and the infliction of the status ailment. Just because one of them was upgraded (for some unknown reason) really shouldn't be enough to disqualify it. I'm not sure of any other cases where this could apply - Leaf Blade's base power increase was a different thing, because the other aspects of the group probably weren't as notable since it was just the "high crit rate" factor.

:Looks and damage category don't matter, but with such all over the place effects, I agree. The wide range of chances mean that they are similar, but not variations as far as I'm concerned.

== PP variation in both directions ==

After some debate about whether or not PP should matter, it was agreed upon that it wouldn't as long as it was within 5. This created a problem in Generation VI with variations of {{m|Strength}}. Strength has 15 PP, some of its variations have 20 PP, but {{m|Dazzling Gleam}} has 10 yet is similar enough in every other way to be rightly included. It only differs from the "base" move by 5; however it is in a different direction than the other variations. Excluding Dazzling Gleam would be as absurd as adding it but excluding {{m|Power Gem}} and {{m|Drill Peck}}. For this reason, I've added it, and strongly feel it should stay. (This issue may arise with other moves I haven't looked at yet, in which case I'll do the same thing). Some may point out that Dazzling Gleam differs in being able to affect multiple targets. However, this has never been an issue with variations, because {{m|Blizzard}} does the same thing.

== Remove "similar PP" as a criteria ==

The similar PP criteria is not only arbitrary, it creates several cases where A is a variant of both B and C, but B and C are not variants of each other...

For instance, {{m|Dragon Breath}} (20 PP) is a variant of {{m|Needle Arm}} (15 PP), which is a variant of {{m|Force Palm}} (10 PP). However, because of the arbitrary PP criteria, {{m|Dragon Breath}} is NOT a variant of {{m|Force Palm}}. This violates a transitivity that is implied with move variations. The only way to address the transitivity issue is to ensure strict PP equality or not have PP as a criteria at all.

It also creates cases where moves that obviously should be variants are not classified as such (e.g. {{m|Reflect}} (20 PP) and {{m|Light Screen}} (10 PP)), but for the case of the barrier moves, an [[Template:Light Screen|arbitrary exception]] was made anyways. Other examples include {{m|Spirit Shackle}} and {{m|Anchor Shot}} (10 PP vs 20 PP), and more glaringly... {{m|Fury Attack}} and {{m|Double Slap}}- which are identical in every way except PP.

Is Flip Turn considered a variation of U-Turn and Volt Switch?

[[User:Iluvchess|Iluvchess]] ([[User talk:Iluvchess|talk]]) 19:53, 7 August 2020 (UTC)

*due to having just the slightest difference in base power between Flip Turn and U-Turn/Volt Switch, (60 compared to 70) that would be a no with regards to the set of rules in place. [[User:CoolMan6001|CoolMan6001]] ([[User talk:CoolMan6001|talk]]) 00:26, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

== Water Pulse, Dragon Breath, Needle Arm, and Force Palm? ==

Would these be considered variations of each other? Water Pulse and Dragon Breath specifically both do 60 damage and have a chance of causing a secondary effect, and both have 20 PP. The PP varies wildly between all of them, but at least Water Pulse and Dragon Breath are similar enough to be considered variations. They can be separate from Needle Arm/Force Palm.

== Field move variations? ==
Even though field moves no longer exist as of gen 7, I think it may be worth listing similar moves here.
Here's my starting list of proposed groupings:
HP-restoring moves(Milk Drink, Softboiled), Obstacle-traversing moves(Waterfall, Whirlpool(HGSS only), Rock Climb), Obstacle-destroying moves(Cut, Rock Smash, Whirlpool (GSC only)), encounter-forcing moves(Sweet Scent, Headbutt), transport moves (Fly, Dig, Teleport)

Obviously the fact that field moves no longer exist may make it a bit obsolete, and a few of these moves aren't even field moves during certain generations, which is why I'm proposing it here. What do you guys think? [[User:Anna Says Hi|Anna Says Hi]] ([[User talk:Anna Says Hi|talk]]) 23:33, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

== Variations of Surf==
Is it possible to split Hyper Voice and Land's Wrath as variations of Surf? Surf (Gen 4 onwards) and Petal Blizzard hit all Pokemon whereas Hyper Voice and Land's Wrath hit all foes. Additionally, Hyper Voice and Land's Wrath both have 10 PP with Surf and Petal Blizzard being 15 PP instead, so it would make more sense to make Hyper Voice and Land's Wrath as their own separate variations from Surf. [[User:HeatEdgeSword|HeatEdgeSword]] 11:44, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

== Concept of move variations is too broad ==

I think that the concept of move variations should really be aiming to encompass moves that are "the same" except for their typing and physicality/speciality. Like yeah for this page to be maximally useful, allowing minor variations in PP, secondary effect, and so on is necessary and perhaps even desirable in some cases (e.g. different non-volatile status effect inflicted by each elemental fang) but I think many of the sets of move variations on this page go too far. The main problem I see is that the degree to which a secondary effect constitutes the fundamental identity of a move is being underweighted, and its resulting in a lot of unnecessary grouping of moves that I just do not think should be called variations.

Variations of Brine- doubling damage under 50% HP is totally different from doubling damage on opponents with a status condition (as Hex and Venoshock do). There are plenty of moves that double damage under some condition, Brine should not be grouped with these two just because it happens to also be 65BP. Variations of Stomping Tantrum I have a similar issue with

Variations of Earthquake- this one is awful. Calling "hits all adjacent Pokemon" a special effect is very silly, and even if it weren't, Judgement's type-changing function meaningfully sets it apart from any move that doesn't do that regardless

Variations of Sacred Fire- these secondary effects are just too different, Diamond Storm and Sacred Fire being some of the only moves that happens to have a 50% chance to have their effect does not automatically make them variations

Variations of Leaf Blade- ok this one is actually fine but the fact that it lists "signature move (at any point in time)" as a commonality factor is unnecessary and frustrating because it reveals the level of arbitraryness in some of these grouping decisions. The fact that the Sceptile line was the only one that could learn Leaf Blade in Gen III and Vespiquen still has Attack Order as a signature move is just not a meaningful similarity at all

Variations of Acid Armor/Bulk Up/Charm etc- Boosting a stat by two stages or two stats by one stage are not grounds to consider a move a variation in my opinion. Agility and Swords Dance are completely different things, as are Bulk Up and Dragon Dance. at most you might consider moves whose stat changing effects are mirrored in the physical/special realm to be variations, a la Bulk Up and Calm Mind

Variations of Destiny Bond- the fact that Grudge and Destiny Bond both require the user to faint is a surface level similarity, they have completely different effects

I think that's enough good examples. I realize that the degree of allowed differences before something doesn't count as a variation anymore is subjective but I do think that the link of similarity between say, Giga Impact and Hyper Beam is of a totally different kind than that between like, Spikes and Stealth Rock or whatever, and that this page should really be sticking to the first one. My philosophy in considering this is that, other than differences in type and damage type, if moves with different secondary effects etc. are going to be considered variations of one another, then there needs to be some additional justifying similarity between those moves. Like Thunderbolt/Flamethrower/Ice Beam, those all inflict a different status but they're related to the type, and the % chance is the same- the moves also have an additional reason to be considered as a group, in that their TM's are frequently sold together in-game. But in this grouping: Aurora Beam, Bubble Beam, Psybeam, Sludge, Spark- Sludge and Spark share a different % chance for their secondary effect, and those effects are also different. Even the inclusion of Psybeam is questionable, as rather than lowering a stat it inflicts Confusion, which is a different sort of thing, but at least it's still a 10% chance and it has beam in the name lol. Consider how Water Pulse is not grouped with Psybeam, despite also having a 10% chance of inflicting confusion, because it has 60BP instead of 65BP. Is the 10% confusion chance not a more meaningful similarity than just, being 65BP and having any secondary effect? I think it is. I'm not advocating for moves with different base powers to suddenly be considered variations, my point is that the details of how the move works and what its secondary effects are matter a lot too, and base power and accuracy shouldn't be privileged over these things just because they're more easily comparable as simple numbers.

And like, I get it, categorizing things is really satisfying etc. but even if you were to say something like "this page covers more than just simple type variations" I would say, well if it's meant to encompass broader sorts of conceptual similarities, then its not doing a good job. Obvious groupings like U-turn/Volt Switch/Flip Turn and Stun Spore/Poisonpowder/Sleep Powder are incomplete because of surface level differences in base power and PP respectively. I think the best solution is to get strict with what constitutes a variation on this page, and then address the utility of conceptual move groupings in other ways. For example, there already various pages such as: "List of moves that cause entry hazards" "Category:Punching Moves". If you want to know the moves boosted by Mega Launcher, you have to visit the Mega Launcher ability page, but the list is there. Maybe, just like how there's a box for move variations at the bottom of a move page, there can also be a box if the move belongs to a useful battle category like that, and it can be higher up on the page. There's already a tiny section at the veery bottom showing what categories a page belongs to, but this always contains a lot of stuff that is usually not particularly specific to the move like: Physical Moves, Smart Moves, Moves Usable in Generation VIII, etc. so its usually not useful to look at. Maybe a designation called "similar moves" can be used, for moves that are not quite variations but are still appreciably similar in some way not obviously covered by an established category, and it could be a bit broader than the current scope of this article. I dunno, I just signed up, I've never edited Bulbapedia before, but I feel like there's a better way.

:I think the concept of "move variations" is unnecessary and the criteria has to be modified constantly so some moves can fit (like the arbitrary thresholds for effectiveness percentages, accuracies, PP, etc.). Even when some moves are obviously variations of each other (Iron Tail, Dragon Rush, Egg Bomb; Dragon Breath, Needle Arm, Water Pulse, Force Palm, etc.), they still miss the cut because one of them doesn't have an added effect or whatever. Can't we just get rid of it altogether? And this is coming from an annoying "add every little detail to the trivia section" guy. It seems like with situations like this, less is more and you need to have an all or nothing approach to make everything make sense. Not every single thing needs to be categorized. [[User:Blue Ninjakoopa|BNK]][[User talk:Blue Ninjakoopa|Talk]] 23:05, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

::See to me, your examples of moves that are 'obviously variations' are not obviously that (besides Dragon Breath & Force Palm). Perhaps I'm the only one who cares about secondary effects that much, but in any case, it speaks to the broader point that what constitutes a variation is subjective enough that maybe no single set of criteria can satisfy most people. As for getting rid of it altogether, well personally I'm a huge fan of when wikis have sections with links to related material like this, I think its cool how you can go from Hyper Beam to Giga Impact or whatever by going to a box at the bottom of the page and stuff, and probably some others feel that way too. But when I think about it from that angle, there being any standardization and the particularities of what qualifies as a move variation or doesn't isn't really the point, so maybe the concept of move variations is unnecessary after all. If it were to be gotten rid of though, I think it would be a shame if nothing replaced it- like a "similar moves" box that doesn't have restrictive criteria as for what can be included, or something like that, would be fun I think.

:::When I said "obviously", I was thinking more in terms of "apparently" and from the perspective of a layman who just sees the damage, accuracy, and secondary effect and searches the Wiki for some kind of link (or notice of a link).

== Multi-strike moves ==
In what regard are multi-strike moves considered variations?

Currently, the page only lists [[Move variations#Variations of Fury Attack|Fury Attack and Barrage]] as a move variation, but several moves only vary in very minor ways that are, under other chapters, not enough to consider the move different.

Adhering to the affirmentioned rule that the move has to vary by a max of 5PP:

* {{m|Arm Thrust}} is 100% accurate and a Fighting type move.
* {{m|Water Shuriken}} is 100% accurate and a Water type move.
* {{m|Scale Shot}} has 10 more power, is 100% accurate, and is a Dragon Type move.
* {{m|Pin Missile}} has 10 more power, is 95% accurate, and is a Bug Type move.
* {{m|Comet Punch}} has 3 more power and 5 less PP.
* {{m|Fury Swipes}} has 3 more power, 5 less PP, and is 5% less accurate
* {{m|Spike Cannon}} has 5 more power, 5 less PP, and is 100% accurate
* Double Slap, Arm Thrust, Fury Attack, Water Shuriken, and Barrage all have the [[Multistrike move|same average damage output]] of 46.5

For now, I've added Water Shuriken and Arm Thrust as variations of each other to a seperate section, as I'm more confident I can say these two moves are variations of each other. {{unsigned|Zwemvest}}

Edit: Nevermind, I just noticed the page also says the moves should have the same power and same accuracy. {{unsigned|Zwemvest}}

== PP, Power, Accuracy as guiding metrics on similarity ==
Should PP, Power, and Accuracy remain the leading metrics on considering if two moves are similar or not? Should this be consistently enforced?

For instance, Psystrike is in every regard the same move as Psyshock, except that it has 20 more power. So according to the metrics of this page, these two moves are not move variations. Same for Dragon Hammer and Dragon Claw - more or less the same move.

Similair, if we look at Leer/Tail Whip, I think we can note that these two look very similar to Meditate/Withdraw/Defense Curl or Harden/Sharpen (if you really want to adhere to "must have the same PP"). Meanwhile, since Sand Attack has 5PP less than Smokescreen/Flash, that's sufficient to be a move variation, but Kinesis has 5PP less ánd 20% less accuracy, so it's not a move variation.

A fair deal of the [[Multistrike move|multi-strike moves]] have the same average damage output, but are not strictly move variations because they differ in accuracy or power.

Strictly taken following the metrics of the page, Water Gun is a variation of Accelerock, Aqua Jet, Bullet Punch, Fairy Wind, Ice Shard, Mach Punch, Pay Day, Quick Attack, Shadow Sneak, and Vacuum Wave. I don't think they'd be reasonably considered variations, so clearly, priority is also a very important metric. {{unsigned|Zwemvest}}

::I've fixed the template so there's now space for "secondary effects" and "signature moves" explicitly. I've also removed the "Power", "accuracy", "notes on power", and "notes on accuracy" headers, since the page says one of the requirements for two moves to be a move variation is that they have to have the same power and accuracy. I'll go over the page to check where these could replace the "Notes" section. [[User:Zwemvest|Zwemvest]] ([[User talk:Zwemvest|talk]]) 12:40, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

== Petition to redefine a "move variation" ==

I believe that just having the same power, accuracy, and PP should not be enough to classify two or more moves as being "variations" of each other. If two moves have different added effects from each other, they should not have the right to be called variations of each other. For convenience sake, the criteria of a "move variation" should be that they must be purely identical except for type and category. I think the definition of what makes moves variations of each other needs to be refined. --[[User:CuteShaymin|CuteShaymin]] ([[User talk:CuteShaymin|talk]]) 23:19, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

Why not someone add in the Glitch TMs as well? - [[User:FireHazard|Hazardous FIRE!]] 04:40, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

==Pokemon that can't learn TMs==

Should we make a list of pokemon that cant learn TMs??

we were talking about it in the main page and [[User:The_dark_lord_trombonator]] told us to take it here instead; the list we have so far is: Caterpie, Metapod, Weedle, Kakuna, Magikarp, Ditto, Unown, Wobbuffet, Wurmple, Silcoon, Cascoon, Wynaut, Burmy, Combee and Kricketot, Beldum and Smeargle

if we are it should be completed first, also props go to; [[User:Mr._Charlie]],[[User:Jmvb]],[[User:EpicFail]] and[[User:The_dark_lord_trombonator]] for compiling the list so far --[[User:Titan|TiTAn]] 21:35, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

::also how do you change your signature --[[User:Titan|TiTAn]] 09:32, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
:::It's, um, already on the page. Signature changing is done in your [[Special:Preferences|Preferences]]; a basic howto guide for design is [[BP:SIG|here]]. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 21:37, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

== TM Chart ==

I was really hoping to find a chart of all the TMs each Pokémon can learn. Having it all on one page would be helpful in deciding whom to use which TMs on. [[User:HyperHacker|HyperHacker]] 03:42, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
:What exactly do you mean by that? Each Pokémon has a list of moves that they can learn by TM on their page, and which Pokémon can learn a particular move by TM is listed on the move pages. <sc>[[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]]</sc> [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 06:11, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

== Buyable and Unbuyable TMs ==

There's no Information on the price of TMs.
We really need that information to know which TMs are replaceable and which TMs are "super-rare" irreplaceable. --[[User:Arima|Arima]] 02:10, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
:Never mind... --[[User:Arima|Arima]] 02:12, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

== Vulpix's energy ball ==

While a Vulpix that knows energy ball is a good example of a Pokémon which learns a TM move only through breeding in Generation IV, Vuplix and Ninetales can learn energy ball from TM53 in Generation V. Anyone know of an example which still works in Gen V?[[User:Chammy|Chammy]] 18:13, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

== Seriously? ==

Do you guys really think that there are no TMs in the show?! What if they never appear in the show or Ash and gang find and use them off screen?! Cause there is no way Ash's Herracross could know Hyper Beam or Sleep Talk without using a TM.{{unsigned|Mr.Char}}

==Reply to above==
Actually, in season 1 Ash is seen trying to teach a tm to Pikachu. The tm appears to be a monitor with the attack on it. He tries to teach Pikachu mega punch I believe. This is either likely in the episode with the Mankeys or Diglets. I am unsure as to which. --[[User:WheatThins|WheatThins]] 02:46, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

== Update needed ==

The last section, "Returning TMs", needs to be updated for Gen V. [[User:Flicky|Fli]][[User talk:Flicky|cky]][[Special:Contributions/Flicky|1991]] 18:11, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
:I don't get the fact that Sleep Talk and Psych Up have "remained their TM Status". Because Sleep Talk is not a TM in Gen V, and Psych Up is. --[[User:Jdthebud|Jdthebud]] 09:03, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

== TMs that (almost) everything can use ==

We already have a list of Pokemon that can't use any TMs. On the opposite end of things, should we have a list of TMs that *every* Pokemon can learn? (Minus those that can't use any of them and a few specific others, of course.)

I've actually put together a list for this. I'm pretty sure I've got everything.
*TM03 [gen II]: Curse
*TM06: Toxic
*TM10 [since gen II]: Hidden Power
*TM13 [gen II]: Snore
*TM17 [since gen II]: Protect (except for Regigigas)
*TM20 [gen II]/TM58 [gen IV]: Endure
*TM21 [since gen II]: Frustration
*TM27 [since gen II]: Return
*TM31 [gen I]: Mimic
*TM32: Double team
*TM34 [gen I]: Bide
*TM34 [gen II]/TM87 [gens IV and V]: Swagger
*TM35 [gen III]/TM82 [gen IV]: Sleep Talk
*TM42 [gens III and IV]: Facade
*TM43 [gens III and IV]: Secret Power
*TM44: Rest (except for Regigigas)
*TM45 [since gen II]: Attract (except for genderless and Nincada; includes Mew and Cryogonal)
*TM50 [gen I]/TM90 [gens IV and V]: Substitute
*TM78 [gen IV]: Captivate (except for genderless and Nincada; includes Mew)
*TM83 [gen IV]: Natural gift

== Mystery Dungeon ==

Bringing this up once again... will we eventually do something related to TMs and HMs for the Mystery Dungeon series? I know the locations will be hard to come up with, but buy and sell prices should be somewhat simple, if not time consuming. '''[[Team Rocket|R.A.]] [[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Hunter]] [[User Talk:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Blade]]''' 00:15, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
:There's already a space for them on the individual TM and HM pages. Parameters are locmdrb, pricemdrb, sellmdrb, locmdtds, pricemdtds, sellmdtds, locmdww, pricemdww and sellmdww. If there's anything which you know is the same across multiple existing MD games, the relevant parameters default to that specified by pricemd and sellmd. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 01:32, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
::Alright, I'll look into it then. I was on Thunder's page and didn't see anything, so I wanted to ask just in case. '''[[Team Rocket|R.A.]] [[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Hunter]] [[User Talk:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Blade]]''' 01:45, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

== Black and White 2 ==

On the description, it is referred to as "No. <TM number> <TM name>". Do we need redirects or anything? --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 16:34, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

== Trivia ==

== Gen VI Pokémon Move Compatibility ==

So, as I was seeing if I could update some TM move pages for Gen VI games, I noticed something incredibly useful. While in Cassius's PC, if you choose the "Organize Boxes" option, there's a little magnifying glass icon at the bottom. This allows you to search for Pokémon in your boxes that fulfill certain criteria. One of these criteria is "TMs & HMs". To quote the game, "You can check whether Pokémon can use the selected TM or HM." So, I'm going to run through the Pokémon that I have and try to update any TM/HM move pages that need some Gen VI love. However, I don't own even all of the Kalos Pokémon yet, much less the rest (some of which will have to wait until the Pokémon Bank launches next month anyway). So, if anyone wants to further edit the pages with their own Pokémon collection, feel free to do so. I just figured I'd let everyone know that they've made it amazingly easy to determine this compatibility in X and Y. [[User:Amimizunofan22|Amimizunofan22]] ([[User talk:Amimizunofan22|talk]]) 08:02, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

== Incompatible Pokémon ==

Some Pokémon, like Wobbuffet cannot learn TMs, there are confusion between it can learn TMs and it cannot learn at all. Someone must check Pokémon pages whatever it can learn TMs or not. [[User:Cinday123|Cinday123]] ''([[User talk:Cinday123|Talk]])'' 02:52, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
:I'm not quite sure what you're trying to say seeing as Wobbuffet's page clearly shows it being able to learn a move from TMs. --[[User:Funktastic~!|'''It's''' '''Funktastic~!''']][[User talk:Funktastic~!|''話してください'']] 02:57, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

::Yes, I'll find more TMs later because Wobbuffet can learn TMs so I'll check on Pokémon Storage System on my game. [[User:Cinday123|Cinday123]] ''([[User talk:Cinday123|Talk]])'' 03:14, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

== Finite and repeatable locations ==

The regular item pages already differentiate between finite and repeatable obtaining methods. Should the list of TM location pages, as well as each TM's page, differentiate as well? [[User:Sumwun|sumwun]] ([[User talk:Sumwun|talk]]) 03:30, 26 September 2018 (UTC)

== Near-universal TMs ==

The article currently says, "With few exceptions, all Pokémon who are compatible with TMs can learn the following moves". What does "few" mean in this context? [[User:Sumwun|sumwun]] ([[User talk:Sumwun|talk]]) 00:24, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

:Go check pages of these moves. It's about cases like Attract and Captivite for Nincada, Confide for Guzzlord and Stakataka etc.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket Grunt]] ([[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Report To Me]])''' 17:55, 17 January 2019 (UTC)
::Every TM move has Pokemon that can't learn it. What's so special about these near-universal TMs? [[User:Sumwun|sumwun]] ([[User talk:Sumwun|talk]]) 21:56, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

:Please don't change the template without a proper consensus and staff approval. I don't think sorting by TM number is appropriate, it's not the number that's important in the list, it's the moves.

:::::There's nothing wrong with "gluing" the templates into one table.

== Attract ==
Why does attract count as near-universal? In USUM, 120 Pokemon can't learn attract. All the other near-universal TMs in USUM are not learned by no more than 29 Pokemon. [[User:Sumwun|sumwun]] ([[User talk:Sumwun|talk]]) 18:11, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
:My idea is: Being an universal TM is not a "real" information that is specified in the pokemon franchise, but more of a trivia how we present the data. We can do it either as list which Pokemon learn a TM or that it's a near universal TM and list all the exceptions. It depends on which is easier to read and being understood.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket Grunt]] ([[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Report To Me]])''' 19:58, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

:::::::::::I'll try to make it more precise: ''"A TM move is considered near universal, if there are less than X Pokemon that can't learn this move that aren't TM incompatible or have reasonable explanation for move to interfere with this Pokemon specifications."'' Current specifications are as follows:
:::::::::::* genderless Pokemon or ones that evolve into such - ''Attract and Captivite''
:::::::::::* Pyukumuku which doesn't learn offensive moves - ''Facade, Frustration, Hidden Power, Return and Round''
:::::::::::* Regigigas that can't remove its ability - ''Rest and Protect''
:::::::::::* Komala that is supposed to be sleeping constantly - ''Rest''
:::::::::::All the rest cases: Attract (5), Confide (2), Double Team (3), Double-Edge (8), Facade (8), Rest (5), Round (2), Sleep Talk (1 because Spinda has been fixed), Swagger (6) and Toxic (1). That would make X not lower than 9 and if it accepted any other move as near universal it would be unreasonable high.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket Grunt]] ([[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Report To Me]])''' 12:34, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
::::::::::::If you removed the "reasonable explanation" condition but also removed attract and captivate, then X would remain at 9. Why is this definition worse? [[User:Sumwun|sumwun]] ([[User talk:Sumwun|talk]]) 22:28, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
:::::::::::::Team Rocket Grunt: That's a good way to sort the "near universal TM" moves. Having 9 being the highest number for Pokemon that can't learn a TM for one reason or another is a reasonable number, not as arbitrary or random as 17.
:::::::::::::sumwun: Not sure why you're so hellbent on removing Attract and Captivate from the list. The "reasonable explanation" clause is important, because like with Pokémon that can't learn TMs, you shouldn't be counting them for specific moves.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:12, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
::::::::::::::Of the moves on the list, attract and captivate are the least learned by a significant amount. Keeping them there kind of "ruins the purpose" of the list. I'm not sure why you're so determined to keep them.
::::::::::::::If the "reasonable explanation" clause exists primarily to exclude Pokemon that can't learn TMs, why can't we just replace "have a reasonable explanation" with "can't learn TMs"?

This is probably something that would actually be very useful for a lot of people who just want to hunt down every TM in the game. I personally go on Serebii's site to get the full list, but it would be really nice to have it here too. I'll even draft something up if people second this idea. {{unsigned|TehPerson}}

== Combine Appearances section with the other sections ==

These items have appearances that vary by medium. But, Bulbapedia already organizes everything by medium anyway, and I know for a fact the TCG section would much rather handle the artwork of a TM than regulate it to the top of the page, (Especially since it varies by card.) I advise dissolving the section and just letting the medium sections use the writing. [[User:Salmancer|Salmancer]] ([[User talk:Salmancer|talk]]) 20:11, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

== Is Helping Hand really a near-universal TM in Scarlet/Violet? ==

I see that Helping Hand has been added to the list of near-universal TMs here (of course only for TM130 in Scarlet & Violet). And while yes, the distribution of this move got a big bump in that game, I don't think it's fair to call it near-universal like other moves in this list. Below is a sample of the mons in S/V that are not compatible with TM130 Helping Hand (limiting myself to just the fully evolved Gen1+2 mons because I believe they're enough to make the point):

Arbok, Sandslash, Venomoth, Victreebel, Tentacruel, Golem, Gengar, Weezing, Noctowl, Ariados, Lanturn, Qwilfish, Magcargo, Skarmory, Kingdra.

I propose that Helping Hand therefore be removed from this list. At a brief look I'm not sure TM001 Take Down should count either. [[User:Zigongosaurus1138|Zigongosaurus1138]] ([[User talk:Zigongosaurus1138|talk]]) 11:51, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

So, I just noticed that I didn't have Request 10 in my mission log (I have just cleared the final King). When I was looking at the requirements, it seems to imply that you have to first complete Cascoon's Pokedex entry before Beauregard's Cascoon will evolve, but it has been evolved on my game for a long time (I don't remember when it happened) but I only just barely finished Cascoon's entry. It looks like that evolution is triggered by something else, probably a certain progression in the story, and is actually a prerequisite to unlocking the mission?

== to be considered anime move errors or not? ==

Examples being Vaporeon using BubbleBeam in Best Wishes series or Ash's Charizard using DragonBreath in Advanced Generation series, among others.
Technically, Generation I. and II. games are less canon, with Generations III. and IV. remakes of them respectively taking precedence.
So even though these two pokemon could use those moves at some point in the games, there's no legal way to have a BubbleBeam using Vaporeon nor DragonBreath using Charizard in the "online connected continuity" of Generations III-VI.

Therefore I think we should consider such instances to be anime move errors. Opinions?--[[User:Elveonora|Elveonora]] ([[User talk:Elveonora|talk]]) 11:11, 31 May 2014 (UTC)

Bump--[[User:Elveonora|Elveonora]] ([[User talk:Elveonora|talk]]) 08:23, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
:Things that have appeared in the anime wouldn't need to disappear just because the games don't have them. It wouldn't make sense, for example, to mark a move as an error if a Pokemon knew a move that they could learn in one generation because they didn't suddenly forget it in the next season of the anime. We'd know that it would have been learned legitimately. It doesn't make too much sense to do it that way since it's not like the anime is held to the same connectivity standards as the games. --[[User:Funktastic~!|'''It's''' '''Funktastic~!''']][[User talk:Funktastic~!|''話してください'']] 10:26, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
::That's not what I meant, I didn't expect Pikachu to suddenly forget Iron Tail in the anime once XY games came out, just because it can't learn it in them. That's '''because''' an Iron Tail using Pikachu is still canon as of Gen VI. one just has to teach it the move in Gens III-V. games and transfer it to a Gen VI. game.
What I was talking about is a Pokemon in the anime using a move that it can't learn since Gen III. in an episode that has aired '''after''' the 3rd Gen. came out. To me it's like if an XY anime episode were stating that a Crefairy is a Normal-type, we would obviously consider that a continuity error, so why not this? A Vaporeon using BubbleBeam back then in the anime before wasn't an error, but a Vaporeon using BubbleBeam in the Best Wishes series obviously is an error since neither Gens I. and II. are connected with the newer ones, not to mention they were remade. So no matter how I look at it, BubbleBeam Vaporeon was retconned--[[User:Elveonora|Elveonora]] ([[User talk:Elveonora|talk]]) 15:39, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

== Generation V moves ==

I noticed that many Pokemon from that generation have in their "prior to evolution" learnset some moves with "BW" affix.
For example [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Whimsicott_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29/Generation_V_learnset#By_a_prior_evolution this one]. I suppose it means that Cottonee learns Giga Drain, Helping Hand and Endeavor only in Black/White but not the sequels Black 2/White 2.
If so, wouldn't it be good to specify such [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Cottonee_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29/Generation_V_learnset#By_leveling_up here]?--[[User:Elveonora|Elveonora]] ([[User talk:Elveonora|talk]]) 16:05, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
:No, that means that the ''only'' way for Whimsicott to have those moves in BW is via Cottonee. The "prior evolution" section is the 'last resort' of knowable moves, meaning if an evolution can learn a move via TM or tutor, it won't be there. In the case of those three moves, Whimsicott can learn them via tutor in B2W2. Were the moveset different between games, Cottonee's level-up table would have two columns (BW and B2W2) to reflect the differences.

== Moves learned by multiple methods ==

Exactly what happens if a pokemon learns a move via tutor or TM or otherwise already knows a move, then levels up to a level where it learns it by level up? I would imagine it would fail to learn the move, but does any message show, or does it possibly even succeed at learning the move? I can see in Smeargle's case in particular that you might want to have the same move multiple times (two Sketches when you haven't decided what to make the first one yet)
--[[User:Xolroc|Xolroc]] ([[User talk:Xolroc|talk]]) 20:41, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
:In the case in which a Pokémon already knows a move (regardless of how they learned it), no message will show when it levels up to the level where it would have learned the move.

:Even the Life Orb is stretching it, IMO. My understanding of recoil is that it would only count as such if the damage received is based on the damage dealt. For example, Double Edge deals recoil damage because the attack hits so hard as to damage the user as well. As I understand the Life Orb, the user sacrifices some of their own power to power up their attack.

Can we have a discussion on whether Struggle, Shadow End and Mind Blown should be considered recoil moves, please? They seem to fundamentally differ from all other recoil moves: their "recoil" damage is based on the user's maximum HP rather than the damage dealt, and they aren't affected by Abilities like Rock Head. Other interactions, like Reckless and Magic Guard, are consistent among all other recoil moves but vary between these three. It just doesn't seem to me like they belong with the others.

:Yeah... one of the things I was going to suggest was listing the likes of Splash, ExtremeSpeed and so on in a seperate table, for moves that were once exclusive to a single line, but aren't anymore.

==This page is in need of SERIOUS clean-up.==

Some moves are counted as signature when they're limited to one Pokémon. Some are counted when they're limited to two Pokémon. Some three Pokémon. Where's the limit? I think two families should be the most.(Branched families are fine.) I'd prefer only one family, but I'll accept anything, just agree on something.

Some moves are counted as "signature" if they're limited to one(or a few) Pokémon NATURALLY...other moves are counted if they're limited OVERALL. I think that TMs/HMs/tutors/"bonus" moves should not matter, Waterfall is still Goldeen and Seaking's signature move. I'd accept the other way too, but it needs to be CONSISTENT.

Not to mention a few of the asterisks are wrong...and some without asterisks could use some. Or it could be split to generations, but I think asterisks work just fine.

The Pikachu that knows Volt Tackle doesn't need to be in the one-off section. Yes, it's only Pichu's signature move...but Pikachus can normally learn it by evolving from Pichu! Pikachu shouldn't be in the table, that is correct, but it doesn't need to be in the one-off either. That should be for examples that COULD NOT happen otherwise, like the Dratini with ExtremeSpeed.[[User:Flint A|Flint A]] 20:09, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
:My opinion is that if a move can be learned by any or all of the Pokémon of '''one''' family naturally or by TM, it is a signature move. If a move is shared with an other family or it is a TM that can be used or a move tutor move that can be taught on more than the family in question, it is not a signature move. Event Pokémon are obviously excluded.

==GrassWhistle==
In GenerationIII, Roselia was the only one who could learn GrassWhistle by leveling up(to lv 29). There are many other pokemon that can learn it now in Generation IV, but it used to be a move unique only to Roselia(by level up). --[[User:PKFL 531|PKFL 531]] 01:38, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

==Removing moves==

Before I edit the actual page, I want to see if everyone agrees to this.

I was thinking of removing the following moves since they're "Signature" titles are questionable:

-----------------------
-{{m|Petal Dance}}

-{{m|Crush Claw}}

-{{m|Splash}}

-{{m|Super Fang}}

-{{m|Beat Up}}

-{{m|Pain Split}}

-{{m|FeatherDance}}

-{{m|Assist}}

-{{m|ExtremeSpeed}}

-{{m|Weather Ball}}

-{{m|Extrasensory}}

-{{m|Megahorn}}

-{{m|Waterfall}}

-{{m|Leaf Blade}}
--------------------------

Yes yes, I know that's quite a lot of moves to pick out. But let's be honest, These moves are a little too common to be "Signature" thanks to other Pokémon showing up or Pokémon learning said moves via Breeding, Level up, Move tutor, TM/HM etc.

If you don't agree with this, I'll ignore this. Or if you want only a specific move or two gone, I'll only get rid of those instead.- ''unsigned comment from {{u|Ninterror}} ([[User talk:Ninterror|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Ninterror|contribs]]) ''

Many of those moves are already noted as being signature moves prior to a Generation, as the person above said. However, Beat Up, Crush Claw, Pain Split, Feather Dance, Assist and Extrasensory, are different. They're signature moves in that only a select few Pokémon learn ''by level up'', but can be taught in other ways. In the "Other signature move examples" section, such things are noted, where a move is learned by more than one Pokémon but only by one by level up. I say we move the mentioned moves to a whole new section for "Level Up Signature Moves", where we list the signature moves if we go by moves learned through level and not by tutor or TM or breeding.

== Overhaul ==

Alright, I went for it and changed the main body to only refer to Generation IV signature moves. The list of former signature moves near the bottom might be better as some sort of table, but I'm not good at making tables and it wouldn't be like just copying the first table, as we'd need "unsignature" dates. Also, that list should not be considered comprehensive; it's just the ones that were there already plus the ones from the old list. There might be some missing.

The only controversial change I think is that I specifically limited signature moves to one evolutionary family only, but I seem to see quite a bit of support for that on the talk page and I feel it's the only sensible decision myself.

== "prior to gen ..." signature moves ==

If, according to te article, Signature moves are by definition only learned by either a single Pokémon or a small group of Pokémon, then a lot of the moves listed that say they were signature moves prior to a certain generation were still signature moves, (in cases such as extemespeed, for at least until the generation after) as the definition in no way implies that the pokémon that can learn it have to be related by evolution it just states either that the move can be learned only as a level up move and even then, only by a small number of Pokémon or that the move can only be learned by level up by a small number of pokémon (in which case almost all, if not all are still signature moves). because even though the way the definition is phrased it can be rephrased either way it most certainly can't be rephrased both ways because they are different from meanings from eachother but are synonyms to different definitions of the phrase that defines signature moves. [[User:Juarmo|Juarmo]] 05:07, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

==Ultimate Starter Type Moves==
techinically, the elemental hyper beams would be no less signature moves of the gen 1 starter evolutions in gen 3 than deoxys and its psycho boost (as purified shadow Lugia knew it). In fact, probably less of one as you catch the Lugia but you recieve the XD Jhoto starters from an event (albeit an in game one but still) also if Oddish and Glooms signature that ceased to be a signature by Gen 2 is on the list shouldn't arcanine and his extremespeed be on the list too. if i remember correctly dragon's den dratini didn't count towards extremespeed not still being arcanine's signature move in gen 2 so why should the XD Jhoto starters they're both in game events.

== Another idea ==

I had an idea for a new column. I would like to mention what kind of signature move they are.
*Exclusive means: Only available to the poke himself, or the evolutionary line of that poke.
*Limited means: A few other pokes can learn it as well by leveling up or by breeding.
*LU exclusive means: The move is exclusive to a certain poke line by leveling up, but several other pokes can learn it by breading or tutoring.
*Common means: The move is now available to a plenty of pokes. Only mentioned if the move used to be exclusive.
*N/A means: it didn't exist that gen.

== Victini ==

for the 14th Movie it was said that an event Victini would be given out have the move V-Generate and Ball of Fire, as V-Generate is currently a move only an event Victini can know, should it be put in the 'one-off signature moves' section? [[User:Azure42|Azure42]] 15:38, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

== My definition of 'Signature Move' ==

I say the definition should be "A move that a Pokémon is best known for." As a result, this means that a move that is common can be the signature move of another Pokémon (for example, Rollout can be learned by several different kinds of Pokémon, but Geodude's evolutionary family may have it as their signature move, because Graveler is said to use it often down mountains in Firered's description of it). Another example is Psycho Cut - Gallade would most likely have the attack as its signature move had this description of signature move been used. --[[User:Psyblade|Psyblade]] 18:43, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

:I think it's a very good point, however, Pokédex entries sometimes state misleading facts, such as Dusclops learning {{m|Hypnosis}}, which it actually can't. So, although a good definition of "signature move", I don't think it's good enough to point Pokédex entries in the article.

== Current definition is SERIOUSLY flawed! ==

The current definition of signature move here is '''seriously''' flawed. The definition should be the move the Pokémon is most known for, not any random move that is exclusive to it. While at times moves that a Pokémon is most known for may also be exclusive to it (such as Smeargle's Sketch), that is not always the case. For example, even though Charizard was the only Pokémon able to learn Blast Burn prior to XD, Charizard is never shown using it in any Pokémon media; usually Charizard is shown using Flamethrower, and in the anime, Seismic Toss. Furthermore, Charizard is a Gen I Pokémon, and it is absurd to say that a Gen III move is its signature move, considering Charizard predates Gen III.

I really think the definition should be corrected here. [[User:Andros 1337|Andros 1337]] 00:05, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
:I don't think it's flawed at all. A signature move exclusive to that Pokémon. Meaning that the move can only be learned by that Pokémon. While Rollout is well know for a Miltank for example that doesn't make it a signature move. Sketch is a signature move because only one Pokémon can learn it and that is Smergle. This was discussed before. [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 00:09, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

:Random move? How is it a random move when it's '''a move that can only be learned by a single Pokémon or its family'''? Just because a certain move is showed off more by a certain Pokémon does not mean it's its signature. Signature refers to a Pokémon's exclusive move which means it can only be learned by a certain Pokémon or at a certain time.

:Your definition seems to be judged by what you have seen in the anime which is biased to all other media. All things should relate to the game which are used universally.

And again, the amount of times the move is shown in the anime has nothing to do with it. In the defense of Transform, Mew has the capability of learning every move through the move tutor in XD from Generation III and below. Though I'll give you that Mew can learn that one by level up.

== V-create still a signature move? ==
Now that {{p|Rayquaza}} knows {{m|V-create}} via event (the same way that Victini learns it), is V-create still Victini's signature move, is it both Victini's and Rayquaza's, or is it not a signature move at all?

:You make a lot of sense, and I'd certainly wait for more people to weigh in. However, I think that the name of V-Create certainly points it to it being a signature move of Victini, since many things about Victini are closely associated with the letter ''V''. There isn't really a set standard to which we can hold a "signature move," so I think claiming its status as "debatable" is appropriate. --[[User:Politoed666|''P'' ''o'']] [[User talk:Politoed666|''L'' ''i'']] 20:27, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

::: Agreed - V-create was made for Victini (and I think that I made that clear on the page), but neither Victini nor Rayquaza can learn it through normal gameplay (both of them learn it via event). As for it being a signature move because it was made for Victini, I think {{m|Megahorn}} presents a similar case (though not to the same degree). It was made for {{p|Heracross}} in Generation II (why else would a generic horn attack be Bug-type?) until they made all sorts of other Pokémon, both old and new, able to learn it in future generations. Now, V-create is much more "characteristic" of Victini and probably won't become a widespread move, but having aesthetics and themes associated with a certain Pokémon doesn't seem like a criterion for being a signature move at the moment according to the page's description (we can always change it though). [[User:Darthrai|Darthrai]] 04:15, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
:::: I personally don't feel it applies to what the meaning of signature move is as it says it can be learned by level up '''or other means'''. Think of it this way. If Relic Song is given by event to another Pokémon, say Cresselia, does that mean it's not Meloetta's signature move anymore because it doesn't learn it by level up even though that's what changes its form? Some common sense should be used in these instead of following the definition so strictly. If the Pokémon itself has an obvious connection to the move we should take that into consideration. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 00:35, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

::::::Actually, it's not as simple as that. The thing is, Meloetta can learn Relic Song via tutor; if the same tutor could be used to teach it to Cresselia, I wouldn't personally consider it Meloetta's signature move anymore (since they can both obtain the move on ''equally'' favorable terms). However, if Cresselia got the move via event, I'd still personally consider it Meloetta's signature move, since Meloetta obtains it on ''more'' favorable terms. Right now, Victini and Rayquaza both know V-create on ''equally'' favorable terms (a one-off move for both Pokémon); however, you're right that we should consider if the Pokémon has an obvious connection to the move, so we should make that clear.

::::By the definition of signature move, V-create is not Victini's signature move. However, it is a move that is associated with Victini. So based on Victini's associations with the move, you could say that it is its "signature move", but that is not the definition of signature move. To keep the definition firm, we cannot consider it to be Victini's signature move unless it learns it via a method other than event, like how we didn't consider it Victini's signature move until it was distributed with it. So what should happen is this; V-create should not be listed as a signature move of Victini, but it should most certainly be listed under "Other signature move examples". --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 14:54, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
Can I suggest that, perhaps, V-Create isn't a Signature Move, so much as an Event Move? It's a move that cannot be known by any pokemon except perhaps via an Event, at least at a certain point. Another example would be Volt Tackle, which, until the release of Pokemon Emerald, couldn't be learned by any pokemon, or Kinesis, which couldn't be learned by any pokemon until Pokemon Yellow. Note that an "Event Move" wouldn't necessarily have been released via Event, it's just that, without an event, it would be unavailable up to a certain time (this could include moves only found as egg moves up to a certain point, if any exist). And on a side note, if a pokemon uses Metronome, and then Smeargle Sketches it, will it learn Metronome, or the resulting move? I ask because, if Smeargle sketches the metronomed move, then it would be possible for it to sketch Volt Tackle in RS/FRLG, or V-Create in DP. [[User:Aielyn|Aielyn]] 15:19, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
:Another example of an Event move is a little more literal than the others - Snarl. At this time, it is only available through obtaining an Event Zoroark, and then breeding it to other pokemon from there. However, once another event, the Lock Capsule, is made available, it will be available as a TM... but still, it's an Event Move, since you need an event to access it in either case. [[User:Aielyn|Aielyn]] 06:56, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
:Those are more "delayed release moves" than "event" moves. And I don't think it is really that relevant (by your definition, {{m|Kinesis}} is both a signature move and an "event move"). And to answer your question, Smeargle will Sketch Metronome. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:48, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
::Isn't "delayed release" just another word for "event", in this context? After all, you can catch Mew in Emerald, but you can't do so until a delayed release event. When Ruby/Sapphire were released, one couldn't legitimately get Volt Tackle. Not knowing how they'd give you access to the move, wouldn't it be reasonable to consider it an event-exclusive move? That the "event" ended up being "the release of Emerald" is irrelevant to this point. And yes, Kinesis would be both an event move and a signature move - nothing wrong with that. It was an event move in Red/Blue, and then a signature move after that. Volt Tackle was an event move in RS/FRLG, and a signature move after that. V-Create is currently an event move. It may happen that, with the "third version" release, Victini will be able to learn V-Create by move tutor or level up, in which case it would be a signature move. Until the move can be "learned", it really can't be called a signature move. It is ''speculated'' that the move was made for Victini, but it's only speculation, it hasn't been confirmed. It's entirely possible that, come the next pokemon game, it will be Rayquaza that learns it naturally, and not Victini... would that make it a Rayquaza signature move? [[User:Aielyn|Aielyn]] 04:37, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
:::The reason I used "delayed release" over "event" is because event specifically refers to things only available via event distributions, which is not true of things like Kinesis and Volt Tackle. It is unreasonable to assume a move is an event move if it has not been released yet—those are "unreleased moves" ({{m|Sacred Sword}} and {{m|Relic Song}} of course are exceptions due to being triggered by events, and {{m|Snarl}} was as well before it was available due to the event TM). However, I'm not really sure how this "event move" argument is relevant here anyway. And Mew in Emerald is still event-exclusive. However, I agree with you that it is not currently a signature move, and that it may become one again in the next game. Also, I highly doubt Rayquaza will learn it outside of events if Victini doesn't—however, it is possible that if there is a move tutor, they would both be able to learn it. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:03, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
::::The relevance is that it gives an argument towards ''not'' including V-Create on this page. Indeed, I'd argue that, even prior to the event Rayquaza, it was not a Signature Move, because the move was only available through an event, and thus couldn't be reliably associated with Victini, even if Victini was the only one that had gotten it. Let me give you a hypothetical analogy. Suppose that, during Gen III, an event occurred for FRLG, where you got a Voltorb that knows Volt Tackle. Would that make Volt Tackle a Voltorb signature move? I mean, it has "Volt" in it, and only Voltorb would have it. I'd argue that, until the move is part of a pokemon's available moveset without an event, it cannot be a signature move. [[User:Aielyn|Aielyn]] 11:09, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

==I'm sorry...==
...but your definition of "signature move" is seriously flawed. Any definition of the term that doesn't allow Transform and Moonlight to be categorized as Ditto and Umbreon's respective signature moves is just wrong. So what if there were few other Pokémon who learned it in the generation it was introduced on? We're too worried about following rules and guidelines to the point that we're sacrificing common sense. Everyone considers Transform to Ditto's signature move despite Mew (who is only a event Pokémon and thus didn't even exist for the average player back in the Gen I days) learning it, too. And considering that Espeon's signature move is Morning Sun, it's obvious that the developers intended Moonlight to be considered the signature move of his counterpart, Umbreon. - [[User:Ericss|Ericss]] 17:53, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
:I can see Ditto being an exception. But Umbereon and Moonlight? I never once thought of it being a signature move for Umbreon. And they only reason we consider it a signature for Espeon in Gen II is because it was the only Pokémon that could learn it.

:Anyway, please look a few sections up to see the definition of "signature". It means ''distinctive''. It's not distinctive when other Pokémon can learn it too. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 05:44, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

== Signature Move recovery ==

Ok, "Also, some of these moves can be passed down via breeding to other Pokémon or are known by certain event Pokémon." Well how about Signature Move recovery? Sometimes there's only one Pokémon able to learn a move in that generation: Skarmory and Steel Wing for exemple, but because many Pokémon can learn it in a previous generation it isn't a Signature Move. This means that if TM 47 hadn't existed in gen 3 and 4 but in gen 5, Steel Wing would've been Skarmory's Signature Move for two generations and it would've lost this status in gen 5. But now its reversed and so it means Steel Wing isn't Skarmory's Signature Move in any generation!? I personally don't think so. And by the way Mega Kick is Hitmonlee's Signature Move, but there many Pokémon able to learn it in Firered and Leafgreen. So that's why Steel Wing (still for exemple) has to be Skarmory Signature Move. [[User:Nickvang|Nickvang]] ([[User talk:Nickvang|talk]]) 14:40, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

== Do skill swap and steel wing really count as signature moves? ==

I think something should only be considered a signature more IF only one Pokémon or only the Pokémon from one evolutionary line can learn it since the beginning. But I wouldn't say that steel wing is really Skarmory's signature move since it was a TM earlier on. Yeah, it's no longer a TM, but that doesn't make it Skarmory's signature move all of a sudden.

Also regarding skill swap, that's also a move that used to be a TM, so I wouldn't say it's a signature move either. What do you guys think? [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] ([[User talk:TheBlazikenMaster|talk]]) 15:18, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
:Steel Wing is definitely a signature move, because even though it was a TM for several generations, Skarmory learned it by level up in all those generations as well, and was the ''only'' Pokemon to learn it by level up. If anything, I think it should be listed as Skarmory's signature move in Gen 2-5 instead of just 5. Skill Swap is a slightly trickier matter that will probably require a more refined definition of "signature move" to resolve satisfactorily one way or the other.
:Personally, I think we should refine the definition so that it doesn't matter if a plethora of Pokemon can learn a move by a "lower"/"less common" method (i.e. TMs, Move Tutors, events); as long as only one family can learn it by level up, that is its signature move. (And if nothing learns it by level up and only one thing learns it by another method, that's also a signature move, of course.) But that's just my opinion. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 16:01, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

:::That's why I said Skill Swap (which is in the same boat) is a tricky matter. There should probably be a provision where widely/universally-available TMs like Return aren't signature moves unless the one Pokémon that learns it by level up has been able to learn it at least as long as the move has been a TM. On the other hand, something like Softboiled was obviously Chansey's signature move even in Gen 1, in which nothing learned it by level up and the TM was only learnable by Chansey and Mew (which, of course, can learn anything). Of course, those are both extremes on opposite sides of the spectrum, and examples that are somewhere in the middle (like Skill Swap) are more difficult to figure.

== A few things... ==

First... Why don't egg moves disqualify a signature move? Due to them, moves like Present and Beat Up are VERY widespread, compared to moves like Softboiled and Needle Arm that get disqualified for very small numbers of other Pokemon.
Second... Why does Volt Tackle count as a Pikachu signature when it can't learn it by any means itself? (It can only get it by evolving a Pichu that knows it <which should also qualify Raichu and a bunch of other families' Pokemon if this counts> or by events <which have been noted to generally not count>.)
Third... Why does Sacred Sword (and relatedly, Fusion Flare/Bolt) count as a signature move for the Swords of Justice (who aren't technically related by family) when Rolling Kick (which only Hitmonlee and Hitmontop, who are related, can learn, excluding egg moves) doesn't from Generation 2 onwards?
Fourth... Needle Arm isn't learned by anything other than Cacnea/Cacturne in Generation 4, either. (It's only marked as being signature in Generation 3.)
Fifth... Only the Whismur line learned Sleep Talk, except by breeding, in Ruby and Sapphire.

== Definition ==

This article doesn't give a clear definition of what conditions we consider a move to be a signature move and what conditions we don't. All it says is that ''Most are learned by leveling up but some can be learned through other means when no Pokémon can learn the move by leveling up''. There's no addressing what disqualifies a signature move: do TMs? do Egg moves? do event moves? do all of these disqualify in all cases, or are there special circumstances? There's been a lot of disagreement on this talk page about what constitutes a signature move, so we need to actually state ''our definition'' in the article so it's clear to readers. I would do so myself, but I don't know what that definition is to me because {{tt|our criteria make no sense to me|Really, Soft-Boiled is disqualified from Gen I Chansey on this page because it's a TM, but there's no mention of ''since Generation II'' in Soft-Boiled's article?}}.

Does Skill Swap really count as being a signature move for the Solosis line? Sure, they were the first ones to be able to learn it by level up, but many others could learn it through other means.

== Event moves... ==

Should Hold Back and Happy Hour really be considered signature moves? They're not naturally known by any Pokemon, and several moves that otherwise qualify as Signature moves on this list, such as Shift Gear, Spacial Rend and Fusion Bolt have been given to event Pokemon. The fact they're only known by 1 Pokemon seems meaningless since any Pokemon could (and in all probability, will) be given them. (And again, no Pokemon actually learns them naturally.)

Incidentally, the list of "One-off signature moves" is rather incomplete. (Being both outdated, and lacking some earlier ones like XD's Frenzy Plant/Blast Burn/Hydro Cannon Gen 2 starters.)

Given Egg Moves seem to be ignored, Whismur/Loudred/Exploud should have Sleep Talk as a signature move in Ruby/Sapphire and Spoink/Grumpig should have Magic Coat as a signature move in the entirety of Gen 3. If Hold Back and Happy Hour are deemed to be valid signature moves, then Snarl should be a signature move of Zoroark in Black/White since TM95 wasn't legitimately obtainable, and thus event Zoroark (or a trade back from BW2, which also shouldn't count, since otherwise it would disqualify things like Meowth's Gen 2 Pay Day) is the only Pokemon that can know it outside breeding in those games. [[User:RiverShock|RiverShock]] ([[User talk:RiverShock|talk]]) 23:54, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

:In order for a Pokémon to qualify as having a signature move, it must meet one of the following conditions: (1) It must be the only Pokémon (or Pokémon family) to learn the move (excluding Smeargle using Sketch), or (2) It must be the only Pokémon (or Pokémon family) to learn the move by Level Up. At the time of this writing, Celebi's Hold Back and Inkay's Happy Hour qualify them for condition #1. If a later event is released giving the move to a different Pokémon, then they will cease being signature moves, and they will be removed. If a later game is released where the moves are available to more Pokémon, the same will occur. Celebrate and V-Create are good examples of this. They are event-exclusive moves, but they are available to multiple evolution lines, with Celebrate being found on both Pikachu and Eevee (plus evolutions), and V-Create being available to both Victini and Rayquaza. Shift Gear, Spacial Rend, Fusion Bolt, etc. are considered signature moves because their users qualify for condition #2, they are the only Pokémon capable of learning the move through Level Up. Snarl on Zoroark was a signature move of Zoroark in Black/White, however, it isn't listed because we don't list things by games, we list them by generation, and the move is not exclusive to Zoroark when you look at Generation V as a whole - which would include Black 2/White 2. Meowth's Gen 2 Pay Day is a signature move because it qualifies for both conditions in Gen 2. --[[User:GoldenSandslash15|GoldenSandslash15]] ([[User talk:GoldenSandslash15|talk]]) 04:14, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
::Actually, GoldenSandslash, we do frequently list things by game instead of generation. See, for example, the Alakazam line's Kinesis in Yellow or Hitmonchan's Vacuum Wave in Diamond/Pearl. Also, your condition #2 is wrong; a TM is also enough to disqualify it, even if only one family can learn it by level up. (I strongly disagree with this criterion, but for some reason it exists.) In any case, I agree that TM95 being unobtainable in BW shouldn't make Snarl Zoroark's signature move, because if you do get a TM95 in BW somehow (tradeback or cheating), it is programmed to be compatible with tons of Pokemon, so it's ''technically'' in their movesets, and it's not programmed to be in Zoroark's level up moveset at all. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]])
:::TMs aren't tradeable in Gen 5, so there has never been (and never will be) a way to teach a Pokemon a move via TM95 in Black/White without cheating. The only way TM95's compatibility is referred to at all in Black/White is by breeding a tradeback or this Zoroark. (Or a Smeargle that Sketched from this Zoroark or a tradeback, I guess.) And breeding doesn't disqualify a signature move. Why should unobtainable moves in a Pokemon's potential learnset count towards disqualifying a signature move?

== Bone/Rolling Kick thing ==

The removed fact was:
* Bone Club and Bonemerang are the only STAB signature moves throughout all 6 generations.

I don't think Rolling Kick counts because Machop, Hitmontop, and Elekid can learn it. Thus the Bone attacks are the only true signature moves. (IMO, the only signature egg move is Volt Tackle)

And in case someone says Kinesis, it does no damage, thus doesn't qualify for STAB. [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 22:43, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

== Discuss please: Move Tutor vs. level-up ==

It has come to my attention on the {{m|Electroweb}} page that, for some reason, we consider it Joltik/Galvantula's signature move in BW, not in B2W2, again in XY, and then not in ORAS, simply because of the B2W2 and ORAS move tutors. This is frankly ridiculous and makes no sense whatsoever. It was also pointed out that Hitmonlee's Mega Kick is also subject to this problem in Gen III.

The fact is that, in a post-Gen III world in which Pokémon can be and regularly are transferred forward and in which Move Tutor availability is extremely broad in some games and extremely narrow in others, the current criteria for signature moves are obscure, difficult to divine, and needlessly convoluted. The simple fact should be that if a Pokémon or evolutionary line is the only one who can learn a move (barring events), that should be its signature move, and if any other Pokémon can have legal access to it by any means (including intergenerational transfer), it should not be considered a signature move.

::I think it's pretty possible to complain both ways.
::We already exclude events or other special circumstances (or {{m|Pay Day}} wouldn't be Meowth's signature move in Gen II/III), and you can kind of view transferred Pokemon like events, if nothing else in the game lets you pass down the move or anything. (...It looks like Hoppip can learn Pay Day by breeding in Gen II, though; by that, I don't support calling it Meowth's signature move for Gen II, actually.)
::I pretty much think a move should be a signature move in Generation [X] if no one can learn it newly outside of one family. Our intro is plenty ambiguous, though. If we could settle on one definition, I'd certainly love to make it much clearer. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 17:03, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
:::I think I both agree and disagree. I understand how it seems odd for Electroweb's status as a signature move to bounce back and forth, however that's not a particularly common occurrence, and I think it still fits in with the spirit of a signature move. After all, Audino had Secret Power as a signature move in Gen V, even though nearly any Pokémon could exist on those cartridges knowing that move through transfers. I disagree, then, that transfer availability disqualifies a move from being a "signature" move. I also think that the criteria for signature moves are in no way obscure or "difficult to divine", regardless of whether or not I agree with them. A move is a signature move 'in a particular game' if only one family of Pokémon—either evolutionary line or related Legendaries—can learn it without breeding. Transfers and events can be considered reasonable exceptions as they both require interaction outside the game itself (connection to another game or download server—conditions not pre-loaded onto the cartridge). Pretty clear-cut in my opinion. — [[User:Kianglo|KiANGLO]] [[User talk:Kianglo|TALK]] 04:19, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
::::Why, then, do TMs and Tutors disqualify a signature move, but breeding does not? I have never seen a satisfactory answer for this, nor can I imagine that one exists. It's utterly arbitrary and senseless. It'd be better to have it all-or-nothing. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 04:29, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
:::::If a move exists as a TM or Tutor move, the game is telling you that there are many Pokémon that can learn it. Like, the move is being advertised to you as something that can be "taught". It's nearly impossible to explain; you either see it or you don't. All I can say is that it would make absolutely no sense for a TM/Tutor move to be learnable by one Pokémon (barring "special" tutor moves like Dragon Ascent; which are specifically mentioned to be FOR a specific Pokémon). Yes that happened in Gen I but we are far past that now. Breeding doesn't really carry that same weight, because when a move is gained by breeding, it is "passed down" by the parent who knows the move, rather than "taught" to the Pokémon from an outside force. That's really the best way I can explain it. It makes perfect sense to me. — [[User:Kianglo|KiANGLO]] [[User talk:Kianglo|TALK]] 04:42, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
::::::Pretty much. TM and Tutor moves are taught to the Pokémon and thus aren't natural. Breeding is natural as the move is passed down. As for Electroweb, that shouldn't count as it's only for a specific generation that it would count as a signature move, at least, in my opinion. Transfers are automatically excluded because the Pokemon that are transferred aren't from that generation--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:36, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
:::::::I'm confused by what you mean by that. Why shouldn't Electroweb count? Many other Pokémon have a signature move in a specific generation. Then again, I'm not entirely sure what point you're trying to make, or even what you're saying about Electroweb's inclusion on this list. — [[User:Kianglo|KiANGLO]] [[User talk:Kianglo|TALK]] 05:47, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
::::::::I'm saying that a signature move should only count for the generation, not the game, i.e, it shouldn't matter if it is Joltik/Galvantula's signature move in BW/XY, if it wasn't their signature move for the whole generation, it doesn't count.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:52, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
:::::::::So, if that's part of the definition we're going with, how should it be applied to various pages? It looks like after this decision was made, mentions of it being the Joltik family's signature move were removed from the Electroweb page, but not from this one. Is this an accidental inconsistency or is it not? Since this is the main page for signature moves, I suppose I could see it having a slightly less strict definition and have the main table use a game-by-game basis rather than a by generation one, while having it removed from move pages if it fails to meet that requirement. Since this is such an arbitrary, unofficial thing, having it take up space on the header of a move page if there are a bunch of disclaimers is probably undesirable. Still, there are plenty of other moves aside from Electroweb scattered across all generations that don't fit the 'whole generation' criterion. Once the stance on this page vs. move pages is resolved, they could easily be sorted out.

:::::::::As for the other parts of the definition, I don't find that explanation for why egg moves don't disqualify a move from being signature to be even remotely convincing. Egg moves, TMs/HMs, and Move Tutors are all in the same boat for me — they are additional moves that can always be taught to a given species under the right conditions (right moves on parents, having the TM, having the payment/happiness criteria for tutors, etc.) in a specific game/generation. If we take signature move to mean a move exclusive to a given species/family in a specific generation with minimal influence from events and previous generations (this is what it seems to be right now), it makes no sense to exclude egg moves. For example, if someone had looked at this page and its definition, then started playing ORAS and found a bunch of Pokemon through the DexNav that knew Present despite it supposedly being exclusive to Delibird, I would not be surprised if they became confused. Maybe not the best example, but my point is, either all three of these 'additional move' categories should be included for signature move disqualification or all three should be excluded (and I much prefer the former).

:::::::::The other two categories, past-gen moves and events, are more of a gray area to me, but since (aside from Gen I/II) it isn't possible to send a later-gen Pokemon back to learn the moves in question and 'born in current generation' is officially recognized by the pentagon in Gen VI , it feels like enough of a difference to me. Excluding event moves also makes some sense to me, since they're exclusive to certain special Pokemon and not any Pokemon of that species. I'm not so sure about in-game "event" Pokemon that don't hinge on real-world things though, like the gen 2 Extreme Speed Dratini, but that has the potential to make it more confusing. Unlike the things in the first two paragraphs, I don't feel too strongly about either of these. [[User:VioletPumpkin|VioletPumpkin]] ([[User talk:VioletPumpkin|talk]]) 14:48, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
::::::::::If we counted egg moves, we would lose a LOT of signature moves here. I think the implication of egg moves versus other moves is a good enough reason, as a move only obtainable by breeding isn't something that a particular Pokémon naturally has the ability to use (i.e. if you just go out and catch one, it will never learn that move, no matter what you try), and therefore it must be specifically passed down to an offspring by the only Pokémon that can naturally learn it. For example, {{m|Octazooka}} has been consistently regarded as {{p|Octillery}}'s signature move; {{p|Horsea}} can learn it, but '''only through direct involvement with an Octillery'''. It will never learn Octazooka unless there is an Octillery involved somewhere in its lineage. A {{p|Pichu}} will never learn {{m|Present}} unless it has a {{p|Delibird}} somewhere in its "family tree".

::::::::::DexNav seems to throw a bit of a wrench into the "natural" idea with the wild egg moves thing, but that seems to just be more of a user-friendly feature so that players have a chance to gain access to egg moves that they might not be able to get otherwise, and also so players have the ability to take advantage of egg moves during story mode (since I imagine very few people take the time to chain-breed then), and perhaps even to introduce the concept to breeding novices, who might not have been dedicated enough fans/players to even know that it existed. — [[User:Kianglo|KiANGLO]] [[User talk:Kianglo|TALK]] 05:11, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
:::::::::::I think I understand where you're coming from now, and the issue seems to be one of opposing perspectives about what this whole vague term means. The people wanting to exclude egg moves seem to be coming from a sort of 'biological' position, where the point about the move 'originating' on a certain Pokemon would make perfect sense. Others, like me, view it with a position based on 'exclusivity', where the question of where it came from doesn't necessarily matter so much, so long as it's obtainable through intended game mechanics. And more still will have variations on these positions, or completely different ones, since it's not an official term (like the people arguing that it should be the 'most-famous moves of a Pokemon' years ago on this talk page). For example, I've never considered Present or Octazooka or Electroweb or any similar move to be signature because they've never been exclusive through intended (non-Sketch) mechanics, even in their introductory generations/games. Since the current staff seem to agree with the 'biological' interpretation, and there's probably not much I can do to convince them otherwise despite the contradictions that annoy me in the current definition (which I admit is ironic because every definition of this is arbitrary to some extent), I'll just say that we'll have to agree to disagree and move on.

== Payday and Softboiled are omitted from Gen 1? ==

I don't really know how to do anything on this site-- I just made an account because I noticed this page does not list either "Payday" for Meowth in Gen 1, OR "Softboiled" for Chansey, when both of those moves were in the game. In fact, other than battling the Elite 4 over and over, Payday was one of the few ways to keep your ever-slimming wallet from drying up in Red and Blue, and it was this for this reason that I was rather disappointed by the lack of wild Meowth in Yellow version (however, Jesse/James' Meowth DO use Payday against you throughout the game.) As for Softboiled, you receive it via TM from a man in... I want to say Saffron City(?)... after you learn Surf and use it to get to his house in Yellow. Yes, it's a TM, but in Gen 1, Chansey was the ONLY pokemon who was actually able to learn the move from the TM. When you get it, the man even says to you "there's only one pokemon who can learn this technique!" (aside from Mew, obviously, but I assume Mew is a general exception in this thread...)

[[User:GenericCola|GenericCola]] ([[User talk:GenericCola|talk]]) 05:44, 7 August 2016 (UTC)

== Why is Pay Day not considered "signature" for Persian? ==

Pay Day is learned by Meowth, which evolves into Persian. This same logic is used for Pikachu and Raichu with Volt Tackle, so I don't understand why it doesn't apply to Persian too. I understand that since Gen 4 Persian doesn't itself learn Pay Day, but Pikachu and Raichu don't by themselves learn Volt Tackle either.

The same question could be asked about:

Shellder/Cloyster and Clamp (Gen 2), Icicle Spear (Gens 3-4)

Staryu/Starmie and Camouflage (Gen 3)

Magikarp/Gyarados and Splash (Gen 1)

Porygon/Porygon2 and Sharpen (Gen 2)

Misdreavus/Mismagius and Pain Split (Gen 4)

Nuzleaf/Shiftry and Extrasensory (Gen 3)

Slakoth/Vigoroth and Slack Off (Gen 3)

Skitty/Delcatty and Assist (Gen 3)

Along with others I've probably missed.

Can someone please fill me in on the logic here? If the answer is "because they can't learn it themselves," then Pikachu and Raichu should have Volt Tackle removed, along with more than a few other Pokémon. [[User:Mjswdr|Mjswdr]] ([[User talk:Mjswdr|talk]]) 23:27, 16 September 2018 (UTC)

== Inconsistency between main section and teachable signatures ==

I've noticed that, for the purposes of the main section, signature moves that are only unique to a certain Pokemon for one game during a gen, are not counted. For example, Water Shuriken Greninja and the other Kalos starters, whose signature moves were distributed to other mons in ORAS. I understand that, although this may seem unintuitive in some ways, for now it seems like people want to keep it this way.

However, this rule does not seem to apply currently to the "teachable" section. For example, many Pokemon are listed from LGPE where those moves are only unique to them in the context of LGPE, but are otherwise learned by many other Pokemon in the other Gen 7 games. The exception to this would be the Meowth/Persian line, where Pay Day is still unique to them, but otherwise all of the rest are not "true" signatures under the criteria applied to the main section. There are also other examples from other gens, such as Quash Murkrow/Honchkrow in Gen 6, when it can be learned by Sableye in ORAS, Snarl Yveltal in the same gen, Double Team Scyther in Gen 1, etc.

I'm basically asking, should this be cleaned up so that it's consistent with the main section? It would also make the purpose of the specific gen flairs more clear, since it would almost always imply that the move is only teachable via tutor or TM in a specific game, instead of possibly implying that the move is only unique to the Pokemon in that game.

::::Also, about your definition of signature moves: "TM/HMs immediately do not make moves signature moves, since Pokémon outside of the Pokémon and/or its evolutionary line can learn the move."

::This really goes into the debate of signature moves by technicality. In this *particular* instance Lugia cannot learn the move naturally by any means, let alone any event, and it can only be transferred from an old Lugia from generations past. Also, in this case I do not think it should be applied as a signature move because Psycho Boost is essentially soft-snapped: even though Lugia *could* have the move through transfer it cannot actually *use* the move. Since the move is rendered unusable in the game data as it stands, it should not be listed in my opinion since it is a "soft-deleted" move like Powder or Tail Glow in that the move itself cannot be used.[[User:ScraftyIsTheBest|ScraftyIsTheBest]] ([[User talk:ScraftyIsTheBest|talk]]) 06:51, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

== Defining "Signature Moves" ==

Yes, I have looked above and seen the different arguments for what constitutes as a signature move, but I'm not looking to change what it's defined as in this article. From what I've seen in the chart we currently have, a Pokemon's signature move is one that ''only it can learn through levelup'' in a particular generation or game. For example, look at Shellder's signature moves. In Generation I, both Shellder and Cloyster can learn Clamp by levelup, so it is listed as both of their signature moves. However in Generation II, Cloyster does not learn Clamp by levelup, and so it isn't listed there. Shellder still learns it by levelup, and therefore it is listed. Generation III, FRLG, Shellder is the only Pokemon to learn Icicle Spear by levelup, and so it is listed with a FRLG note next to it. HOWEVER, other Pokemon still learn Icicle Spear, but not by levelup. Generation IV, it is still listed as Shellder's signature move, as it is the only Pokemon to learn it by levelup still. Generation V, the Vanillite line learns Icicle Spear at level 1, so it is no longer listed as Shellder's signature move.

Looking closer to the top of the chart, you van see Volt Tackle for the Pikachu family. No Pokemon learns Volt Tackle by levelup, and only Pichu by Light Ball and Pikachu by events get it, but it is counted as that evolution line's signature move. This makes sense, only this family can have this move, outside of Smeargle with Sketch. But since it isn't learned by levelup, does it make sense to have it?

Herein lies the problem with the article; There is more than one idea for what makes a move signature. Is it a move that only one Pokemon or family learns by leveling up, like Shellder and Icicle Spear? Is it a move that only one family can have outside of Smeargle, like the Pikachu family and Volt Tackle? Or is it a move that most people know a Pokemon for, such as Magikarp and Splash?

Personally, I believe a signature move is one that only one Pokemon or family can have. Moves like Confide don't make sense to me as signature moves, since more than one Pokemon family have it, even though only the Impidimp family learns it by levelup (or even by any means) in Generation VIII, as Pokemon can be transferred in that know the move Confide; as such it isn't signature. While this would cut down on a significant amount of Pokemon having signature moves, it feels like the cleanest and easiest to explain, at least to me.

Maybe as a separate list we could have moves that only a certain Pokemon can learn by levelup? [[User:Found then Lost|Found then Lost]] ([[User talk:Found then Lost|talk]]) 19:00, 2 January 2021 (UTC)Found then Lost

Honestly, I've been thinking the same. "Signature move" makes it sound like a move the Pokemon is often associated with. The page should be renamed to "exclusive move" which would better fit in line with what the page is describing, and that way stuff like Impidimp learning Confide can remain listed. There's much hoops to go into it, but usage of the words mean different things. Charizard is often associated with Flamethrower and is almost always seen being used on every Charizard, just like how Blastoise is with Hydro Pump and how Pikachu is with Thunderbolt. And with how quickly a move goes from exclusive in one game to the next (such Water Shuriken being exclusive in XY to available on other Pokemon in ORAS) the term "signature" doesn't make sense for this page. Its even more problematic for moves like Water Shuriken, where even after being given to Accelgor, in ORAS it is still commonly associated with Greninja the following game with not only Greninja's base form but with Ash-Greninja specifically. There is a section on the page that describes to associations, but its not a very well put together list. I'd suggest to rename this "Exclusive moves" and make a new list page with Pokemon being associated with certain moves that have explain each individual case such as "common occurrence and usage in the anime" [[User:TrainerSplash|TrainerSplash]] ([[User talk:TrainerSplash|talk]]) 05:07, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

== Blast Burn/Frenzy Plant/Hydro Cannon vs Psycho Boost ==

Isn't the criteria for gen 3 Elemental Hyper Beams and Psycho Boost a bit inconsistent? The elemental Hyper Beams are considered one-off signature moves for the Kanto starters due to the Johto starters also getting them via XD - however, Psycho Boost is listed as a normalm signature move for Deoxys on gen 3 despite Lugia getting it on the same game as the Johto started get those moves. Wouldn't it make more sense to either remove Psycho Boost from gen 3 or (the one I think makes more sense) add the 3 to the Kanto starters since, on mainline games, they are the only ones who could get it? [[User:Ropalme1914|Ropalme1914]] ([[User talk:Ropalme1914|talk]]) 04:03, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
:If only one Pokémon learns a move by level-up, TMs/HMs, and Move Tutors, other Pokémon learning the same move as an Egg Move, special move, or event move does not affect its status a signature move. Since Lugia only learns Psycho Boost as a special move, Lugia has no impact on its status as Deoxys's signature move. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 09:11, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

== Why I denied Mimey as Delia's Pokémon ==

First of all, Delia never even captured Mimey, she just befriended it and takes care of it. And she's not a certified Pokémon trainer anyway. [[User:Satoshi101|Satoshi101]] 22:16, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
: First of all, where's the proof that says she was never a Trainer? And while there's no concrete proof, the fact Mimey has lived with her for every season since the first and only listens to her commands kind of insinuates that they're closer than landlord and tenant. Anyway, what you've added is already said later in the article. When you've had your edits reverted twice already, perhaps there's a reason? [[User:Blazios|Blazios]] 22:33, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
:: Ahem... [[Misty's Togetic]] anyone? She never captured it yet it is hers. So... Why should Mimey get special treatment? --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 22:42, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
Misty's Togetic was acquired as an egg. Delia Ketchum was just Prof. Oak's student. Misty was a trainer to begin with, and like Ash, she had to get a license somehow. [[User:Satoshi101|Satoshi101]] 19:00, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
:There are no "licenses" in the anime. One can become a trainer at the age of 10 and that's all that is known. Delia sometimes uses Mimey in battle and issues it commands. That alone makes you a trainer. Also, the egg did not belong to Misty, if you are forgetting. It was found by Ash and carried around by Brock. It saw Misty first and thought she was its mother. That's the only reason she has it. She never formally caught it.--[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 19:08, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
Then why wasn't Haunter or Larvitar Ash's? And there are '''so''' licenses, Ash said in the first episode "Now that I'm ten, I can finally get my Pokémon License!" It's you who needs remembering. [[User:Satoshi101|Satoshi101]] 04:42, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
:And the anime also made reference to specific levels early on which has also been dropped. The last time they mentioned a license is what, the second episode? A lot of things they said back then ended up not really being canon. As for Haunter and Larvitar, Haunter really just decided to tag along for one episode and never once battled before leaving, while I'm pretty sure Ash knew he was going to end up giving up Larvitar in the end. He was supposed to just give the Egg to Professor Elm, right? [[User:Blazios|Blazios]] 14:10, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
Proffesor Elm wanted to release it. And things can't become uncanon. There are just exceptions. Mimey is a Pokémon Ash wanted to catch, and him living with Delia means it's already owned? You better think about it. [[User:Satoshi101|Satoshi101]] 04:16, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
:If a license is still canon, explain why there's been no mention of it for the past 693 episodes. Of course, this matters not when you consider the fact that there's ''no proof she doesn't have one.'' Regardless of what Elm planned to do with it, the fact remains that Ash knew from the beginning that the Egg would never be his, which is why Larvitar isn't counted. There's also the fact that none of Ash's unofficial Pokémon are still in his possesion, while Mimey is ''still'' living with Delia after 12 seasons. [[User:Blazios|Blazios]] 07:20, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
No proof? They never mentioned it at all. Delia befriended Mr. Mime. Ash has commanded a few Wild Pokémon and yet they aren't his. Someone could think Mimey was a Wild Pokémon and just snag it. Is Mimey Delia's and nobody else can take it? No! Mimey wasn't caught! Bulbasaur lived with Melanie. Melanie's Bulbasaur? No. [[User:Satoshi101|Satoshi101]] 19:27, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
:They also never mentioned that ''any other character in the entire series'' other than Ash had one. Does that mean they're all illegally training Pokémon? Ash commanded a few Wild Pokémon once, ones that never joined him or stayed for any decent length of time, as opposed to living with him for the past decade and only obeying his commands. Bulbasaur simply volunteered to guard the Hidden Village, it wouldn't matter who run the Hidden Village or if Melanie left, Bulbasaur would have stayed. [[User:Blazios|Blazios]] 19:49, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
So does this mean you think Mimey is Delia's, illegal to be caught by someone else like Ash? Mr. Mime are very rare. [[User:Satoshi101|Satoshi101]] 20:38, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
:You're assuming two things: 1) that pokémon must be caught, or else they are wild and 2) that a pokémon couldn't make a decision to stay with a human on their own volition, without that whole "caught" business going down. Mimey chose to stay with Delia, caught or not. In the mean time, it is "hers" out of technicality. Being called "Delia's Mr. Mime" isn't wrong, when phrased like so: "the Mr. Mime of Delia's". In comparison: "Delia's housekeeper" and "the housekeeper of Delia's". It doesn't have to be seen as ownership!possession, only relation!possession, to say, "Delia's Mr. Mime;" you just instinctively see it as ownership in the strictest sense.

And I realize this was recently confirmed in the newest episode, but it never made any sense to be so stringent and LIE and say that a Pokemon is NOT of a type. I can understand gender differences, I can understand abilities, these all can be attributed to anime =/= games, I'm more than willing accept that. But a Pokemon's TYPE, it literally makes no sense to say that a Pokemon can be represented as its original typing in a generation where that original typing doesn't exist and was retconned. No stretch of the imagination can justify a Mr. Mime being both PURE psychic and psychic/fairy just because anime =/= games. Especially given the new episode confirming that a Pokemon's type is indeed retconned. I get Dawn's Togekiss, because she hasn't shown up in 6th generation or beyond so as far as anyone can be concerned, Togekiss is still part normal, because it last appeared where that was true but yes a Pokemon appearing in an episode in a generation where a Pokemon has a specific type being ignored because of stringy attitude of "anime=/=games" and has to outright be explicitly mentioned makes NO sense to me.

==Ash's Pokémon?==
I know it might be soon to tell, but shouldn't Mimey be included as Ash's Pokémon now? Also, they're now referring to him as "Mr. Mime" (Barrierd) instead of his nickname, so shouldn't its name (temporarily) be changed to its actual name? Just wanted to those doubts off my mind.
[[User:HygorBH|HygorBH]] ([[User talk:HygorBH|talk]]) 13:16, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
::Two points
1- To me, in my opinion, Mimey is a Delia's Pokémon yet. She simply left him in the lab and his Poké Ball in Ash's possession. Nothing changed. In more than twenty years of the anime, we've never had any indications to the contrary, Battle Frontier, Sinnoh League, Kanto League, nothing. Until something changes, I think he should be in a "Taking Care" category or in the temporary Poké. Probably what happened is just one episode thing. Especially because I have the theory that the protagonist of this saga is Go and not Ash (who is occupying something like the role of Brock or Cilan this time). Mimey is an easy solution to not rescue anything from Ash's past. Nothing else.

2- There's a triva that talks about Mimey's type change, but he didn't change, he got one more type(Togepi, on the other hand, this one did have a retcon and I believe it was never officially captured by Misty). He's still a psychic type. Just received one more type. By the way, since since his first appearance, he stayed with Ash's mother, he's not a recurring Pokémon. Since he has a Poké Ball, his capture was off screen.--[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]) 11:16, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
:# Until more episodes air, we won't know

== So... ==

What is the consensus on this article's name going forward? ''[[SS024|Alolan Open House!]]'' showed that Delia apparently has her own nicknaming pattern like most Pokémon Adventures main characters, as Mimey fits in with the three nicknames she gave to his Alola team and Ash himself doesn't use any of these nicknames, including Mimey. Now that the Japanese supplementary material which shows it as a Pokémon he caught is clearly displayed, I personally do feel "Ash's Mr. Mime" should maybe have priority over "Mimey" at the moment. Of course, I'm only one guy sharing his opinion.

Either way, I guess the factor which should decide this is, like the same trivia point says, whether he's just kept it at home instead of with Oak (then move to Ash's Mr. Mime since it's always been his), or if he gave it away like he did with Beedrill (then stay at Mimey since it's now hers). If we were to learn how Mimey ended up with Delia then we'll know for sure which group it falls under, right? '''''[[User:Gengarzilla|Gengar]][[User talk:Gengarzilla|zilla!]]''''' 00:28, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
:Mimey was present since [[EP064|It's Mr. Mimie [sic] Time!]] way back in the original series, and it's pretty clear in that episode that Delia was the one who actually "caught" it due to her mistaking it for her then-abducted son (Ash didn't even KNOW about Mimey until he managed to arrive home upon escaping Team Rocket). At most, you can say that she GAVE it to Ash, like Brock's Vulpix was given to him by Suzy. [[User:Weedle Mchairybug|Weedle Mchairybug]] ([[User talk:Weedle Mchairybug|talk]]) 12:18, 25 April 2020 (UTC)

:Yeah, but the thing is, back in the B/W series, there was a website that showcased ALL of ASH'S Pokémon that he captured over the course of the anime, and Mr. Mime showed up shortly after Charizard, if I'm not mistaken. So, clearly, they did not plan this ahead, but now it's pretty much confirmed that Ash caught it and gave it to Delia, and his surprised reaction... well, I guess we can call it a plot hole, then. If a official website listed Mr. Mime as Ash's Pokémon, and Ash calls it by its species name, I suppose it can be changed from "Mimey" to "Mr. Mime", right? I'm just sharing my thoughts. [[User:HygorBH|HygorBH]] ([[User talk:HygorBH|talk]]) 03:27, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

::Actually, Ash never even GOT a chance to capture it, since that circus ringleader interfered due to wanting a replacement for her own Mr. Mime to drive it to stop slacking off, and aside from that, its invisible barrier deflected the poke ball. Most likely that official site was mistaken. Wouldn't be the first time an official source made a mistake, as several video game guides and even some of Hideo Kojima's commentaries can attest to. [[User:Weedle Mchairybug|Weedle Mchairybug]] ([[User talk:Weedle Mchairybug|talk]]) 13:33, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

:::Mr. Mime was never actually '''''shown''''' being caught in its debut episode; in fact, its Poké Ball made its first ever appearance in SS007 (over 1,000 episodes later). In addition, as shown by the trivia section, there are at least three official Japanese sources that have referred to Mr. Mime as Ash's Pokemon (with two of those sources being prior to PM 2019), so I don't think you can just attribute it to simply being a mistake. [[User:PokemonMasterJamal3|PokemonMasterJamal3]] ([[User talk:PokemonMasterJamal3|talk]]) 01:07, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

==Mimey==
Ash specifically referred to it as Mimey in [[JN023]], telling it to use Reflect. "Mimey use Reflect."[[User:Roserade57|Roserade57]] ([[User talk:Roserade57|talk]]) 20:38, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
:I'm sorry, but what's the issue? [[User:Adil|'''Adil''']] — [[User talk:Adil|'''Talk page''']] 06:45, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
::there was a discussion further up on if this page should be renamed to "Ash's Mr. Mime" now that he's outright shown to own it and that "mimey" could've just been a name his mum used like when she said "litty" for litten. but now we have seen ash use the name "mimey" specifically when referring to it in battle showing that it is indeed its nickname and not just something delia calls it as ash uses the name too. speaking of which the lead of this article says "Ash's Mr. Mime (Japanese: サトシのバリヤード Satoshi's Barrierd)" instead of its nickname like all the other nicknamed pokemon like [[snowy]] or [[growlie]].[[User:Roserade57|Roserade57]] ([[User talk:Roserade57|talk]]) 07:08, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
:::In the Japanese version of the same episode, he still refers to it as "Barrierd" rather than "Barri-chan", so it's a dub-only thing so far from what I can tell. [[User:PokemonMasterJamal3|PokemonMasterJamal3]] ([[User talk:PokemonMasterJamal3|talk]]) 16:03, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

==delete the redirect==
We need a separate article for this because the dowsing machine has always been different in every generation. In HGSS it's different still. I'd like to create the article but I can't do much because I still havn't figured out how the HGSS dowsing machine works... [[User:Kanjo|Kanjo]] 20:23, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Yes? No? To Dowsing MCHN? Keep it here? They're obviously the same item, since in Gen IV you get it from the guy who gave you an Itemfinder in Gen II... '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 05:44, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

===English release of Black and White===
Since Generation V has started in the English world and the item's name has remained Dowsing MCHN as in Generation IV, I say we move the article to the current name. [[User:Pokemon lover|ポケモン]][[User talk:Pokemon lover|あいこうか]] 15:52, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

== How to use? ==

We should probably add something to the effect of how to use the Dowsing MCHN in HGSS. It's not very intuitive and we just know someone's going to ask.

[[User:Agent1022|Agent1022]] 06:26, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
:Touch. It. Duh. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 06:42, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

It is a difficult for some. Look at the number of google hits for "Dowsing MCHN" and you get a lot of how does it work questions. Cricketicecream 9:58, 18, May 2010
:I agree, for a large part of HG I always had it open but never touched it (until I did by accident). If I recall, the description (when given) sounds like it will automatically show item locations when open. Details on how to use it wouldn't hurt. [[User:Aerte|Aerte]] 15:15, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

== Where is the Dowsing MCHN? ==

With the redirects going here, I can't find the page that tells you where to find the machine in HGSS. Cricketicecream 9:58, 18, May 2010

== How they function ==

There should be a section about how each itemfinder/dousing machine functions in each generation. Like how in gen3 it points your char in the direction, and i think gen4 has arrows? (haven't played D/P/Pt). Would be helpful. [[User:Twiggsmgw|Twiggsmgw]] 05:44, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

== [[EP142]] ==

Should we mention the divining rods used by Meowth in this episode? [[User:Vahi|Vahi]] 20:11, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

Anyone paying attention to this? [[User:Vahi|Vahi]] 17:57, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

== Ally healing and Heal Block ==
Ally is healed by up to 50% of their maximum HP. My Porygon2 was healed from 24 to 96 HP, that's difference 72 from its full 145 HP.
Heal Block blocks healing via Pollen Puff entirely - if the user is under the effects of Heal Block, it prevents the use of Pollen Puff to heal an ally (but not to attack the opponent); if the ally is under the effects of Heal Block, but Ribombee isn't, it will allow Ribombee to use the move but it will state the ally is under the effect of Heal Block and it won't be healed.

{{merge|Error cards}}


In the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], there will often come up a Pokémon that knows a move it cannot learn legally in any of the {{pkmn|games}}.

Occasionally, in-game event Pokémon that can be transferred onto the main series games have a move that is not normally included in that Pokémon's moveset (a prime example being [[Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire]], which gave away four separate Pokémon with moves that were not normally available to that specific Pokémon).

Pikachu210: /* actually */

== Surf ==

So how exactly do I teach it surf? Something tells me it's possible somehow, but how? I can't do it through the HM, but I know it's possible somehow as it is somewhere in the page. 13:05, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

== Lt. Surge's Raichu Pic ==

I think that there's gotta be a pic of Lt. Surge's Raichu in the anime section. So I'll put the pic from the "[[Lt.

Okay, something a little confusing happened to the page with the anime pics. I'm not sure but I think the original pic was Lt. Surge's Raichu. It was then replaced by Ash's Summer School Raichu. I then put Lt. Surge's Raichu to be along with the Ash's Summer School, making 2 pics in the anime section. Someone(I don't remember who it was.) replaced Ash's Summer School Raichu, leaving by Lt. Surge's Raichu to on there just like it originally was. Couldn't we have 2 pics? Or is 1 enough?--[[User:Dragonbeastx|DRAGON]][[User talk:Dragonbeastx|BEAST]][[User:Dragonbeastx/The Aura Spot|X]] 04:39, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

== Pokemon Yellow ==

I'm almost positive Raichu were catchable in the Power Plant in yellow [[User:Lego3400|Lego3400]] 03:36, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

== Obtainable trivia ==

the trivia fact "Raichu remains the only Pokémon whose pre-evolution is known and obtainable in a game that it is not: in Pokémon Yellow, Pikachu is the starter, while the only way to obtain a Raichu is by trading one in from one of the other games because that Pikachu refuses to evolve." seems to also apply for Umbreon and Espeon in FireRed LeafGreen as Eevee is known and obtainable but these evolutions are not. I think it might be a wording problem because I think the original trivia poster meant to say that "Raichu is known in the native pokedex, it`s pre-evolved form is obtainable AND the method to evolve is typical for that region but is unobtainable without trading" but that sounds a little over-specific to me -- [[User:D558|D558]] 21:39, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

:But you don't find out about Espeon until you get to the Battle Tower on the Sevvi Islands, and that's even only after you unlock trading with games other than FR/LG. '''[[Team Rocket|R.A.]] [[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Hunter]] [[User Talk:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Blade]]''' 02:39, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
:: Yea I understand that but the trivia fact never mentions anything like "yet it is still in the native pokedex" or "is known in the native pokedex and ''should'' be obtainable due to its pre-evolutions availability ''but'' isn`t" -- [[User:D558|D558]] 09:11, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

== Trivia Mistake==

One piece of trivia reads "Raichu's FireRed Pokédex entry references an early documentary film by Thomas Edison, discoverer of electricity." Thomas Edison did not discover electricity. [[User:Shipwreck Kelly|Shipwreck Kelly]] 12:10, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
:Fixed... '''[[Team Rocket|R.A.]] [[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Hunter]] [[User Talk:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Blade]]''' 22:17, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

== Name Origin ==
I think it should be mentioned that Rai also means "Next" in Japanese (rainen = next year, raigetsu = next month, etc.) so it has sort of a dual meaning as the "next" pikachu and also as thunder. -- [[User:Nerevar|Nerevar]] 01:30, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

== Possible trivia? ==

Would it be worth mentioning that in the anime, when battling Lt Surge's Riachu, someone says something about Raichu being slower then Pikachu, even though it has a higher base stat for speed? [[User:Miscs|Miscs]] 08:22, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
:Lt. Surge's Raichu didn't learn the speed attacks ({{m|Agility}} and {{m|Quick Attack}}) that it could only learn when it was a Pikachu, since Lt. Surge evolved it immediately. So [[Ash's Pikachu]] could outspeed it by using those attacks. The comment was about that rather than base speed. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 01:41, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

== Obtainability via Dream World ==

I highly doubt the claim that Pikachu or Pichu can be found on Dream World. Is there a source for this claim? [[User:Weixifan|Weixifan]] 01:19, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
:I am taking out the bit that claims Raichu can be found in the Dream World. I am also requesting that all further discussion about this be done in one place: on Pikachu's talk page. [[User:Weixifan|Weixifan]] 00:36, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

== Volt Tackle ==

Should Volt Tackle be in Raichu's table of moves it can learn from a previos evolution? Or can he just not learn it at all. [[User:Iml908|Iml908]] ([[User talk:Iml908|talk]]) 18:31, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
:It's in the Breeding list because that's how it gets learnt. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 19:36, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

== Thunderbolt ==

Can someone add Thunderbolt to the list of Gen I moves that Raichu can learn from its previous evolution Pikachu level 26 in Yellow only.

I'd do it myself but I'm new and haven't figured it out yet. Thanks, [[User:Pokejawns|Pokejawns]] ([[User talk:Pokejawns|talk]]) 06:35, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
:Raichu can learn Thunderbolt from TM, so it isn't necessary to put it on that table. The table is for moves that can be learned only from prior evolution, so we don't include moves learned through other means. Thanks, though. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 06:49, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

== Coloration ==

Is it just me or does it look like Raichu's sprites from Generation II are flipped in Generation III? The shiny in Gen II becomes the normal sprite in Gen III and vice-versa (with the exception of the shiny from Gen II's white tail). I'm sure this is notable, whether this is a mistake or a bit of trivia. [[User: CWallace |C.Wallace]] ([[User_talk: CWallace |Talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/CWallace|Contribs]]) 20:39, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
:Sprite trivia isn't notable. It's because it's self-evident from the sprite box (right above it), as well as so numerous and subjective. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 20:45, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

== Name origin (again) ==

In addition to being a portmanteau of ''rai'' and ''chuchu'', maybe Raichu's name is also a pun on ''raiju'', the traditional Japanese beast of lightning. (I noticed the Wikipedia article on raiju cited Raichu in the same breath as Jolteon, Manectric, and Raikou.) --''[[User:Stratelier|Stratelier]]'' 18:15, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

== EXP yield in Gen VI ==

Similarly to {{p|Pikachu}}'s case, the EXP yield has increased to 218 in Gen VI. Documenting it here for future consideration when making changes to the infobox template. [[User:Chenzw|Chenzw]] ([[User talk:Chenzw|talk]]) 14:06, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

== Pokemon Sun/Moon Offical Site's info on Alola Raichu changes? ==

I think that the reasons/research/whatever given on the official sun/moon's site regarding Alola Raichu should be added to Raichu's biology description, like the other Alola forms/regional variants...
[[User:PkmnTrainerV|PkmnTrainerV]] ([[User talk:PkmnTrainerV|talk]]) 12:43, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
:They will be. Biologies are fairly complex to write and take some time. It and all the other Alola variants and new Pokemon will have them added as soon as we are able.

[[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 12:51, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

== Puka ==

Calling Alolan Raichu a reference to Puka seems like a bit of a stretch and it ignores a lot of history. The blue eyes could be an intentional nod, but giving a surfing/water themed Pokemon a touch of blue doesn't seem unusual.

Surfing Pikachu/Raichu has always been a popular concept. It first appeared in the original manga, we had the very popular TCG promo card, you could teach your Pikachu surf in the original Pokemon Stadium which gave both Pika and Raichu unique surfing animations (where Raichu used it's tail, very similar to how it does in its Alolan form) and was of course a minigame in Pokemon Yellow. All before that episode of the anime aired. So why is that thought to be the origin of the idea? [[User:Five|Five]] ([[User talk:Five|talk]]) 09:10, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

Because Alola Raichu has a psychic typing, and Puka was said to sense the waves of water, and it seems something related to psychic typing. If Alola Raichu was solely a surfing Raichu, then why didn't it gain an electric/water type?
The Flame Trainer is Here! 10:05, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
:The current note in the origin section was supposed to be largely about the eyes. I've added a specific mention of surfing Pikachu to the page, as the first sentence of the Alolan Raichu origin. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:25, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

== Trivia: Raichu being a stone-induced evo obtainable in the wild. ==

Raichu is the first Pokemon in the National dex that is a stone-induced evolution that can be encountered in the Wild,
and also the earliest to be encountered (Power Plant on Green/IntlBlue then subsequently Cerulean Cave),
With the next in line being Wigglytuff (Cerulean Cave).

They also share the distinction of stone-evos in the wild being removed from Pokemon Yellow's wild encounters.

Additional point:
The next time evolved stone-induced evolutions can be met in the wild of core series handheld games,
is in Generation V, primarily through Phenomenon or Hidden Grottos.

[[User:Theslayer|Theslayer]] ([[User talk:Theslayer|talk]]) 15:27, 30 September 2016 (UTC)
:This really isn't notable. Especially since the other stone-induced evolution is in the same generation. If Raichu was the only stone-induced evolution available in the wild, that might be notable. That doesn't appear to be the case, though. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 15:53, 30 September 2016 (UTC)
::I just thought it was interesting that only wild Raichu and Wigglytuff was encounter-able, as my first game was Yellow (a good 15 years ago), hence I never really noticed until I replayed them the other day.
Furthermore, they appear without any special encounter (unlike Phenomenon or Hidden Grottos in Gen V).

Anyhow, thanks for the explaining on why it isn't that notable! [[User:Theslayer|Theslayer]] ([[User talk:Theslayer|talk]]) 06:46, 1 October 2016 (UTC)

== Unique Typing ==

Electric/Psychic for Alola Raichu is unique, isn't it? Or do we have another Electric/Psyhic? [[User:PkmnTrainerV|The legendary PkmnTrainerV is Here!]] ([[User talk:PkmnTrainerV|talk]]) 10:30, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

== Gorochu ==

I'll leave this to your lot's discretion, I'm just here to open a dialogue. [https://twitter.com/i/moments/992707887926579200 Is this worth a trivia mention?] Apparently, Raichu was ''originally'' meant to be only a middle-stage.--[[User:Darknesslover5000|Darknesslover5000]] ([[User talk:Darknesslover5000|talk]]) 04:08, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

== Forms in the Pokédex Entries (game data) section ==

I really can not find where else to ask this, so I'm just asking this here. Why combine alternate forms into the same entry box as the original? First of all, why do it for regional forms like Alolan Raichu, or other forms where an individual of the species can not change between them, like the Cap Pikachu or Shellos forms? I have to ask that question because Meowth does not combine its regional forms into one entry box, only combining Kantonian Meowth and Gigantamax Meowth. Second, why do it at all? It looks bad, to put it simply. It adds at least one line within the entry boxes that looks really bad, in the way it separates the game name boxes (I don't know what else to call them) and generally bloats them up, taking space that makes it harder to locate any given entry in the box. It makes it far more difficult to locate entries for a given form. If I want to see the entries for just the Gigantamax forms of Pokémon that have them, there is no simple shortcut to do so, and if I were someone who wasn't particularly sure of when a Pokémon's form was added, it would make searching for its entries even more difficult. Some users may not be aware that alternate forms did not start getting unique Pokédex entries until Generation VII, and the way the current entry boxes are, it could easily make it far more confusing than it could be. It also makes it more difficult to compare the entries for one form to another for the same form, when there are extra entries of a different form bloating the entry box. In short, I think it takes up too much space within the entry box, and while separating the entry boxes may take up more space in the article, I believe that it is better design philosophy to set things out in a more organized fashion, which in my opinion is form -> game rather than game -> form, because of the bloating that having both forms in the same game section can cause for that game section. [[User:MarioMiner|MarioMiner]] ([[User talk:MarioMiner|talk]]) 03:31, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

:Aha, you helped me figure out what bugs me so much about the new design. We can't jump to the alt-forms entries from the top of the page any more. [[User:Zurqoxn|Zurqoxn]] ([[User talk:Zurqoxn|talk]]) 14:15, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

::This is something that is being done in an effort to reduce overall page size and template inclusions (which is something we have to be concerned about on large pages). The project had only just started, which is why other regional forms had not yet been converted, however, other staff members also raised concern about the merging of regional forms as they are 'distinct enough' personally, I'd rather give them their own page if we're just going to separate out the information like this but that has not garnered support amongst staff. As for the line 'looking bad', I kinda disagree because I feel having them separated over multiple boxes made them look clunky. And if you are having trouble locating a specific entry, I don't really know what to say about that other than that is why the headings of the forms were in there. --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] ([[User talk:Spriteit|talk]]) 08:09, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

== Obtainable trivia ==

the trivia fact "Raichu remains the only Pokémon whose pre-evolution is known and obtainable in a game that it is not: in Pokémon Yellow, Pikachu is the starter, while the only way to obtain a Raichu is by trading one in from one of the other games because that Pikachu refuses to evolve." seems to also apply for Umbreon and Espeon in FireRed LeafGreen as Eevee is known and obtainable but these evolutions are not. I think it might be a wording problem because I think the original trivia poster meant to say that "Raichu is known in the native pokedex, it`s pre-evolved form is obtainable AND the method to evolve is typical for that region but is unobtainable without trading" but that sounds a little over-specific to me -- [[User:D558|D558]] 21:39, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

:But you don't find out about Espeon until you get to the Battle Tower on the Sevvi Islands, and that's even only after you unlock trading with games other than FR/LG.

:Lt. Surge's Raichu didn't learn the speed attacks ({{m|Agility}} and {{m|Quick Attack}}) that it could only learn when it was a Pikachu, since Lt. Surge evolved it immediately.

== Name origin (again) ==

In addition to being a portmanteau of ''rai'' and ''chuchu'', maybe Raichu's name is also a pun on ''raiju'', the traditional Japanese beast of lightning.

== Puka ==

Calling Alolan Raichu a reference to Puka seems like a bit of a stretch and it ignores a lot of history. The blue eyes could be an intentional nod, but giving a surfing/water themed Pokemon a touch of blue doesn't seem unusual.

Surfing Pikachu/Raichu has always been a popular concept. It first appeared in the original manga, we had the very popular TCG promo card, you could teach your Pikachu surf in the original Pokemon Stadium which gave both Pika and Raichu unique surfing animations (where Raichu used it's tail, very similar to how it does in its Alolan form) and was of course a minigame in Pokemon Yellow. All before that episode of the anime aired. So why is that thought to be the origin of the idea? [[User:Five|Five]] ([[User talk:Five|talk]]) 09:10, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

Because Alola Raichu has a psychic typing, and Puka was said to sense the waves of water, and it seems something related to psychic typing. If Alola Raichu was solely a surfing Raichu, then why didn't it gain an electric/water type?
The Flame Trainer is Here! 10:05, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

== Trivia: Raichu being a stone-induced evo obtainable in the wild. ==

Raichu is the first Pokemon in the National dex that is a stone-induced evolution that can be encountered in the Wild,
and also the earliest to be encountered (Power Plant on Green/IntlBlue then subsequently Cerulean Cave),
With the next in line being Wigglytuff (Cerulean Cave).

They also share the distinction of stone-evos in the wild being removed from Pokemon Yellow's wild encounters.

Additional point:
The next time evolved stone-induced evolutions can be met in the wild of core series handheld games,
is in Generation V, primarily through Phenomenon or Hidden Grottos.

[[User:Theslayer|Theslayer]] ([[User talk:Theslayer|talk]]) 15:27, 30 September 2016 (UTC)
:This really isn't notable. Especially since the other stone-induced evolution is in the same generation. If Raichu was the only stone-induced evolution available in the wild, that might be notable. That doesn't appear to be the case, though. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 15:53, 30 September 2016 (UTC)
::I just thought it was interesting that only wild Raichu and Wigglytuff was encounter-able, as my first game was Yellow (a good 15 years ago), hence I never really noticed until I replayed them the other day.
Furthermore, they appear without any special encounter (unlike Phenomenon or Hidden Grottos in Gen V).

== Forms in the Pokédex Entries (game data) section ==

I really can not find where else to ask this, so I'm just asking this here. Why combine alternate forms into the same entry box as the original? First of all, why do it for regional forms like Alolan Raichu, or other forms where an individual of the species can not change between them, like the Cap Pikachu or Shellos forms? I have to ask that question because Meowth does not combine its regional forms into one entry box, only combining Kantonian Meowth and Gigantamax Meowth. Second, why do it at all? It looks bad, to put it simply. It adds at least one line within the entry boxes that looks really bad, in the way it separates the game name boxes (I don't know what else to call them) and generally bloats them up, taking space that makes it harder to locate any given entry in the box. It makes it far more difficult to locate entries for a given form. If I want to see the entries for just the Gigantamax forms of Pokémon that have them, there is no simple shortcut to do so, and if I were someone who wasn't particularly sure of when a Pokémon's form was added, it would make searching for its entries even more difficult. Some users may not be aware that alternate forms did not start getting unique Pokédex entries until Generation VII, and the way the current entry boxes are, it could easily make it far more confusing than it could be. It also makes it more difficult to compare the entries for one form to another for the same form, when there are extra entries of a different form bloating the entry box. In short, I think it takes up too much space within the entry box, and while separating the entry boxes may take up more space in the article, I believe that it is better design philosophy to set things out in a more organized fashion, which in my opinion is form -> game rather than game -> form, because of the bloating that having both forms in the same game section can cause for that game section. [[User:MarioMiner|MarioMiner]] ([[User talk:MarioMiner|talk]]) 03:31, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

::This is something that is being done in an effort to reduce overall page size and template inclusions (which is something we have to be concerned about on large pages). The project had only just started, which is why other regional forms had not yet been converted, however, other staff members also raised concern about the merging of regional forms as they are 'distinct enough' personally, I'd rather give them their own page if we're just going to separate out the information like this but that has not garnered support amongst staff. As for the line 'looking bad', I kinda disagree because I feel having them separated over multiple boxes made them look clunky. And if you are having trouble locating a specific entry, I don't really know what to say about that other than that is why the headings of the forms were in there. --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] ([[User talk:Spriteit|talk]]) 08:09, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

:Yes, symbol encounters and wanderers spawn based on the weather in the area the player is currently standing, not the weather in the area the spawn occurs. This is noted on [[Wild Area#Weather]].

The wanderers in each spot is currently a WIP. Feel free to edit it if you can fill in gaps. I know some (but not all) of the Diggersby vary based on the weather. Anything I have commented out is speculation. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:07, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

When you remove trivia like [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=PS470&curid=146774&diff=2132898&oldid=2004257 this], it's helpful if you provide a counterexample. Without that, no one can really tell whether you just thought it wasn't notable or if you actually knew something that proved it false. And for something like this, with over 470 chapters, most people won't want to look through all of them to try to find that example. So it usually helps if you can mention it in your edit summary.

:I'll believe you. For now. But for future reference: if you're going to do an article for a volume, at least do all of them. Or at least start from the first chapter and not the very last one. And remember to include every human and Pokemon. I am reading Coronis' summaries, and unless they're wrong, you omitted several characters. I'll fix up what you added to make it Bulbapedia standard.

:1) Have you received permission to this from anyone? Just announcing it on your user talk page where hardly anyone will see it is not enough. While no admin has yet done anything to disapprove your edits, as a general rule, I'd think you should ask if this kind of big thing is okay to do. 2) Please, don't remove the "Pokémon debuts" sections even if they are empty. They've been left there for the sake of consistency. PS. I personally support your idea, but please, don't forget the two points I mentioned above. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 09:08, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

:::I'm going to have to say no to that. As Pumpkinking said, we don't do this, and there's little reason to start now. The individual move sections already cover this.

{{incomplete|article|Details for [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], manga section}}
A '''statistic''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|能力|のうりょく}}}}''' ''ability''), or '''stat''' for short, is an element which determines certain aspects of {{pkmn|battle}}s in the {{pkmn|games}}. Stats may also refer to the numerical values of each field in regards to individual Pokémon.

In English, stats have been also referred to as '''abilities'''{{sup/1|RBY}} (as seen via NPCs on the fifth floor of the [[Celadon Department Store]]) and '''ratings'''{{sup/2|GSC}} (as seen in {{m|Growth}}'s move description).

==List of stats==
===Permanent stats===
===={{anchor|HP|Hit Points}}====
The '''Hit Points''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ヒットポイント}}''' ''hit points''), or '''HP''' for short in both Japanese and English, determine how much damage a Pokémon can receive before [[fainting]]. It is the most visible of the stats in battle, appearing both graphically (as a bar with a fill colored green, yellow, or red depending on how much HP in percentage is left) and as a current/max amount below the bar. In ''Pokemon GO'', it is called '''Stamina'''.

If a Pokémon has more than half of its HP, its HP bar remains green. If the Pokémon has between one-fifth and half of its HP, the bar will turn yellow (in Generation II, a Pokémon revived to exactly half of their HP will have a green HP bar). If a Pokémon has less than one-fifth of its HP remaining, the bar will turn red and a beeping sound (Generations I-IV), a change of battle music with the beep as a metronome (Generation V), or a series of 4 beeping sounds before fading away (since Generation VI) will notify the player that his or her Pokémon is in danger of [[fainting]]. Before Generation VI, this beeping will continue until the Pokémon is switched out to another Pokémon which has at least one-fifth of its HP, has its HP raised to one-fifth or higher by any means, or faints.

In Generation I, the coloring of the HP bar was determined slightly differently. If the bar's fill was 27 pixels or wider (out of a total end-to-end length of 48 pixels), it would be colored green; if it was between 10 and 26 pixels, it would be colored yellow; and if it was less than 10 pixels wide, it would be colored red. This means the HP bar turns yellow noticeably earlier than in the later games, or at about 56% of the Pokémon's maximum HP.

The HP bar also affects the Pokémon's [[cry]]. Since {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, if a Pokémon's HP bar is green, the player will hear the cry of the Pokémon in its normal sounding rate, but if the Pokémon faints, its cry will be lowered by a whole step. Also, since {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, if the Pokémon has less than half its total HP, its cry will be lowered by a half-step to indicate its weakened state.

====Attack====
The '''Attack stat''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|攻撃能力|こうげきのうりょく}}}}''' ''attack ability''), or informally '''Physical Attack''', partly determines how much damage a Pokémon deals when using a [[physical move]]. For more information on how Attack affects damage, see {{DL|Damage|Damage calculation|Damage → Damage calculation}}.

====Defense====
The '''Defense stat''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|防御能力|ぼうぎょのうりょく}}}}''' ''defense ability''), or informally '''Physical Defense''', partly determines how much damage a Pokémon receives when it is hit with a [[physical move]]. For more information on how Defense affects damage, see {{DL|Damage|Damage calculation|Damage → Damage calculation}}.

====Special====
The '''Special stat''' (Japanese: '''{{j|とくしゅのうりょく}}''' ''special ability'') is a stat that existed only in [[Generation I]].

The Special stat accounted for what is currently known as Special Attack and Special Defense, determining how much damage a Pokémon both receives and deals when [[special move]]s are used. As a result, a Pokémon could not be both strong with and weak against a Special attack, or vice versa, in the same way a Pokémon might have high Attack but low Defense. With [[Generation II]], the Special stat was split into Special Attack and Special Defense, meaning Pokémon could have different [[Base stats|base stat values]] for both, and those stats were both displayed on a Pokémon's stat screen; however, [[individual value]]s and [[effort value]]s remained unsplit, so that there was only a Special individual value and Special effort values, which affected both the Special Attack and Special Defense stats. Furthermore, [[Calcium]] increased both stats. In [[Generation III]], IVs and EVs were finally given both Special Attack and Special Defense values as well, and the Calcium now worked on only Special Attack while the Zinc was introduced for the Special Defense.

=====Special Attack=====
The '''Special Attack stat''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|特攻能力|とくこうのうりょく}}}}''' ''special attack ability''), or '''Sp. Atk''' and '''Spcl. Atk'''{{sup/2|GSC}}{{sup/ss|Stad2}} for short, partly determines how much damage a Pokémon deals when using a [[special move]]. For more information on how Special Attack affects damage, see {{DL|Damage|Damage calculation|Damage → Damage calculation}}.

=====Special Defense=====
The '''Special Defense stat''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|特防能力|とくぼうのうりょく}}}}''' ''special defense ability''), or '''Sp. Def''' and '''Spcl. Def'''{{sup/2|GSC}}{{sup/ss|Stad2}} for short, partly determines how much damage a Pokémon receives when it is hit with a [[special move]]. For more information on how Special Defense affects damage, see {{DL|Damage|Damage calculation|Damage → Damage calculation}}.

====Speed====
The '''Speed stat''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|素早さ能力|すばやさのうりょく}}}}''' ''speed ability'') determines the order of Pokémon that can act in battle. Pokémon with higher Speed at the start of any turn will generally make a [[move]] before ones with lower Speed; in the case that two Pokémon have the same Speed, one of them will randomly go first. An in-battle change to a Pokémon's Speed stat originally did not start affecting turn order until the following turn; however, in Generation VII, if [[Mega Evolution]] or [[Ultra Burst]] caused changes to the base speed stat or to an [[Ability]] that affected speed or priority, those changes took effect immediately for the upcoming turn. In Generation VIII, all speed changes take effect immediately; after every individual move, the fastest remaining Pokémon that hasn't yet made its move that turn is dynamically recalculated, to be able to move next.

===In-battle stats===
====Evasion====
The '''evasion rate''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|回避率|かいひりつ}}}}''' ''evasion rate''), or '''evasiveness''', of a Pokémon determines its probability of avoiding other Pokémon's moves. The initial value at the start of any battle is 100%. If a Pokémon's evasiveness is reduced below 100% with a move such as {{m|Sweet Scent}}, other Pokémon will have a better chance of their moves hitting. If evasiveness is increased above 100% with a move such as {{m|Double Team}}, other Pokémon will have a harder time connecting their moves.

====Accuracy====
The '''accuracy rate''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|命中率|めいちゅうりつ}}}}''' ''accuracy rate'') of a Pokémon determines its probability of hitting another Pokémon. The initial value at the start of any battle is 100%. Along with accuracy-raising moves and items, in {{Pokémon XD}}, the player can also raise a Pokémon's accuracy by one stage by using the call action, as long as the Pokémon is not [[asleep]] or in [[Reverse Mode]] (in which case removing the condition takes precedence over raising accuracy).

==Determination of stats==
===Base stat values===
A Pokémon's [[Base stats|base stat values]] will most often have the greatest influence over their specific stats at any level. Disregarding individual values, effort values, and [[Nature]], a level 100 Pokémon's stats in Attack, Defense, Speed, Special Attack, and Special Defense will be exactly 5 more than double its base stat values in each, while the HP stat will be 110 plus double the base stat value (except in the case of {{p|Shedinja}}, whose HP is always 1).

For a list of Pokémon by their base stat values, see the [[list of Pokémon by base stats]].

===Level===
{{main|Level}}
When a Pokémon grows a level, its stats will increase. For each level gained (ignoring Nature), stats will increase by 1/50 the base stat value, and 1/100 the combined individual value and effort value. This means that it is impossible, through leveling up, for a Pokémon to ever ''lose'' points in a stat unless it evolves into a Pokémon with a lower base stat value for that specific stat or an EV-reducing Berry is used. It is also impossible for any Pokémon other than {{p|Shedinja}} not to gain HP upon leveling up without using a Pomeg Berry ({{game|Emerald}} onward) as no evolutionary line has members with a lower base HP than the pre-evolved forms.

===Nature===
{{main|Nature}}
Most Natures enhance the growth of one stat, while hindering the growth of another. After all other calculations are finished, the stat that the Nature enhances will be 110% of what it would be without the Nature, and the stat hindered will be 90% of its normal value.

===Individual values===
{{main|Individual values}}
Individual values cause two Pokémon of the same species to have different stats. Between generations there are different manners of determining them.

===Effort values===
{{main|Effort values}}
Effort values are what cause a trained Pokémon to have higher stats than an untrained counterpart of the same level. For every 4 EVs gained, a level 100 Pokémon will have 1 extra point in its stats. Variance of stats caused by EVs reaches a maximum of 63 points at level 100, as a Pokémon can gain a maximum of 255 EVs in a single stat.

===Awakening values===
{{main|Awakening values}}
Awakening values are a mechanic introduced in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], replacing {{EV}}s as the means of further raising a Pokémon's stats. A Pokémon's stat will have 1 extra point for every AV gained regardless of level, and each stat is capped at 200 AVs.

===Formula===
:''See also: {{DL|Damage|Damage calculation|Damage → Damage calculation}}''
====In Generations I and II====
The stat is rounded down if the result is a decimal.

Note that some numbers may be off by one due to rounding.

====In Generation III onward====
The stat is rounded down if the result is a decimal.

[[File:HPStatCalcGen34.png]]

[[File:OtherStatCalcGen34.png]]

These formulas mean that, aside from {{p|Shedinja}}'s HP (which is always 1) the lowest a stat can ever possibly be is 4 (or, for the HP stat, 11).

=====Example=====
Consider a Level 78 {{p|Garchomp}} with the following IVs and EVs and an '''Adamant''' [[nature]]:

{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background: #{{Dragon color dark}}; border: 5px solid #{{Dragon color}}"

| style="background:#fff; {{roundybr|5px}}" |'''510'''
|}
Its HP can be calculated as follows:

[[File:StatExampleHPGen4.png]]
[[File:StatExampleHPGen4 2.png]]

The Adamant nature raises Attack and lowers Special Attack. This means that when calculating the Attack stat, ''Nature'' = 1.1, and when calculating the Special Attack stat, ''Nature'' = 0.9. So this Garchomp's Attack stat will be:

[[File:StatExampleAttackGen4 1.png]]
[[File:StatExampleAttackGen4 2.png]]

And its Special Attack stat will be:

[[File:StatExampleSpAtkGen4 1.png]]
[[File:StatExampleSpAtkGen4 2.png]]

Its Speed stat, on the other hand, has no ''Nature'' multiplier, so it is calculated as:

[[File:StatExampleSpeedGen4 1.png]]
[[File:StatExampleSpeedGen4 2.png]]

In the end, this Garchomp's stats are as follows:

====In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]====
In Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, effort values have been replaced with [[awakening values]], which are flat stat boosts added to the total after all other calculations have been made. Additionally, all non-HP stats can receive a slight boost that scales with [[friendship]]. Stats are now updated simultaneously with any changes to the variables, rather than after a Pokémon has leveled up.

The AV bonus can range anywhere between 0 and 200 for all stats, and a Pokémon can have all six stats maxed out to 200 AVs each. The friendship multiplier can range between 1 to 1.1, scaling directly with the Pokémon's level of friendship (1 + floor(10 * friendship/255)/100).

[[File:HPStatCalcLGPE.png|x55px]]

[[File:OtherStatCalcLGPE.png|x55px]]

===In battle===
In battle, additional [[#Stat modifiers|modifiers]] can further alter the effective value of a stat. This is not reflected in visible stats, but instead is only accounted for when [[damage]] is done.

====Accuracy and evasion====
Accuracy and evasion are not visible anywhere as explicit stats, but they influence the probability of a move hitting. The nuances of this calculation differ between games. [[:Category:Moves that cannot miss|Some moves]] ignore accuracy checks.

=====Generations I and II=====
Whether a move hits depends on the formula:

T = Accuracymove * Accuracyuser * Evasiontarget - BrightPowder

Where...
* ''T'' is the computed threshold value that will determine whether the move will hit, always at least 1 and at most 255,
* ''Accuracymove'' is the move's [[accuracy]], a value from 0 to 255,
* ''Accuracyuser'' is the accuracy [[#Stage multipliers|stage multiplier]] of the user,
* ''Evasiontarget'' is the evasion stage multiplier of the target, and
* ''BrightPowder'' is 20 if the user is [[held item|holding]] [[Bright Powder|BrightPowder]] (in Generation II) or 0 otherwise.

The game then selects a random number ''r'' from 0 to 255 and compares it to ''T'' to determine whether the move hits.

In Generation I, if ''r'' is less than ''T'', the move hits. This results in a bug where no move can be guaranteed to hit (excluding {{m|Bide}} and {{m|Swift}}) since even if ''T'' is 255, if ''r'' is also 255, the move will miss.

In Generation II, if ''T'' is 255 or else if ''r'' is less than ''T'', the move hits. This eliminates the bug from Generation I.

=====Generations III onward=====
Whether a move hits depends on the formula:

T = Accuracymove * Adjusted_stages * Other_mods

Where...
* ''T'' is the computed threshold value that will determine whether the move will hit,
* ''Accuracymove'' is the move's [[accuracy]], a value from 1 to 100 (internally, 0 is also a valid value, but this is displayed as "—" and means that the move ignores accuracy checks),
* ''Adjusted_stages'' is the equivalent accuracy [[#Stage multipliers|stage multiplier]] of the user after the target's evasion stage is subtracted from the user's accuracy stage, both possibly modified by Ability or move effects such as {{a|Simple}} or {{m|Foresight}} (to no less than -6 and no more than 6 after the subtraction), and
* ''Other_mods'' encompasses all multipliers from other accuracy or evasion modifiers from Ability effects, [[fog]], move effects, and item effects (as can be seen in the table in the following section), serially applied.

The game then selects a random number ''r'' from 1 to 100 and compares it to ''T'' to determine whether the move hits. If ''r'' is less than or equal to ''T'', the move hits.

===Combat Power===
'''Combat Power''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|総合的|そうごうてき}}な{{tt|強|つよ}}さ''' ''Total Power''), or '''CP''' (Japanese: '''{{j|CP}}'''), is a value first introduced in [[Pokémon GO]] and carried over to [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], used to roughly summarize a Pokémon's overall potential in battle. In Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, it's based off the total of all a Pokémon's stats and {{AV}}s. Note that CP is not an actual statistic but rather a visual indicator of a Pokémon's overall strength, so it does not have any direct effect in battles.

[[File:CPStatCalcLGPE.png|x46px]]

The CP of any Pokémon in Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! is always capped at 10,000; even if a Pokémon's stat continues to grow after that, the CP will still show as 10,000.

==Stat modifiers==
When a stat is used in a calculation in battle, a number of modifiers may be applied during the calculation. During a battle, a Pokémon's effective stats may be raised or lowered by certain [[move]]s, [[Ability|Abilities]], and [[held items]]. Some attacks may only have a chance of raising or lowering stats, while certain Abilities and held items may require a triggering event to activate any stat modifications.

The modifiers conferred by most moves operate on a sliding scale of ''[[#Stage multipliers|stages]]''. When a given stat is raised or lowered, its current stage is increased or decreased by the amount dictated by the move, up to a maximum of +6 or a minimum of -6. A given stage corresponds to a given multiplier that will modify the stat when it is used in battle calculations. The exact multipliers for stages are detailed in a later section below. Note that prior to [[Generation III]], no stat can fall below 1 or rise above 999; any further modifiers will fail regardless of whether the stat is at -6 or +6 or not. The stages of all of a Pokémon's stats are reset to zero when the Pokémon is [[Recall|withdrawn]] or affected by the moves {{m|Haze}} or {{m|Clear Smog}}, and reversed when the Pokémon is affected by {{m|Topsy-Turvy}}.

If a Pokémon is under the effect of {{m|Mist}}, {{a|Clear Body}}, {{a|White Smoke}}, or {{a|Full Metal Body}}, its stats can only be lowered through self-inflicted methods such as {{m|Superpower}}. In [[Generation V]] onward, if a Pokémon's Ability is {{a|Simple}}, then any changes to stages are doubled. If a Pokémon's Ability is {{a|Contrary}}, then any changes to stages are reversed.

While some Abilities and held items may also modify the stages of a Pokémon's stats, others may apply unique multipliers that are separate from—and thus can stack with—stages. Examples include the Ability {{a|Slow Start}}, which temporarily halves Attack and Speed, and the held item [[Choice Band]], which boosts Attack by 50%.

A few items may also modify a Pokémon's stats outside of battle by increasing or decreasing the [[effort values]] (EVs) for that stat. [[Vitamin]]s and [[wing]]s increase EVs, while "EV [[Berry|Berries]]" (No. 21, {{b|Pomeg}}, to No. 26, {{b|Tamato}}) reduce EVs.

===In-battle modification===
In the table below, anything in italics is capable of modifying one stat out of two or more and may not always affect the same one.

===Stage modification quotes===

The "Pokémon" identifier in the quotes below includes a prefix that varies depending on the situation; most wild Pokémon (but not all) and opposing Pokémon have one. If a move would raise a stat that is too high or lower a stat that is too low as a secondary effect, a quote will not be shown.

===Stage multipliers===
When a move is used that increases or decreases a stat of a Pokémon in battle, it will be multiplied according to the following fractions, depending on the generation:

In Generations I and II, accuracy and evasion stages are resolved separately and both multipliers applied to the move's accuracy to determine the final chance of a move hitting or missing. For example, a Pokémon with -1 accuracy using a move that has 100% accuracy on a target with +1 evasion would have a 66/100 * 66/100 ~= 43.56% chance of hitting in Generation I, or a 75/100 * 75/100 ~= 56.25% chance of hitting in Generation II. In Generation III, this was changed so that the stages of the two stats are now combined before determining the multiplier, with the evasion stage subtracted from the accuracy stage. Therefore, in the above situation, the attacking Pokémon would have a 60/100 = 60% chance of hitting.<ref>[http://www.dragonflycave.com/statstages.aspx Dragonfly Cave on stat stages mechanics]</ref>

Additionally, the combined stages are capped at -6 and +6 from Generation III onward, meaning that a Pokémon with minimum accuracy attacking a target with maximum evasion will have no lower than a 33/100 or 33% chance to hit. (For comparison, in Generation II, the attacker would only have a 33/100 * 33/100 ~= 10.89% chance of hitting.)

These stage multipliers mean that a Pokémon with +3 accuracy will always hit a target with 0 evasion, as every move has an accuracy of at least 50%

In [[Generation IV]], if a Pokémon's [[Ability]] is {{a|Simple}}, then its stats will be multiplied as if the stat change was doubled. For example, a stat raised by one stage will be multiplied as if it were raised by two stages.

==In other games==
===In the Mystery Dungeon series===
{{incomplete|section|needs=What is the formula used to determine each Pokemon's stats?}}
In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]], Pokémon have HP, Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed{{sup/md|SMD}} stats, just like in the core games. However, these games also have a few stats not seen in the core games.

====Movement Speed/Travel Speed====
{{main|Travel Speed}}
Movement Speed or Travel Speed is roughly considered the Mystery Dungeon series' analogue to Speed in the core games. It governs the number of actions (such as moving, attacking, or using an item) a Pokémon may take in a given turn.

====Speed====
The Speed stat was not used in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series until {{pkmn|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, where it is used as an accuracy modifier; the higher speed a Pokémon has, the more likely it is for its moves to hit and the more likely it is to evade attacks.

====Belly====
The '''Belly''' (Japanese: '''{{j|おなか}}''' ''stomach'') is a hunger statistic in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series. As the team leader explores a [[Mystery Dungeon|dungeon]], its Belly will diminish as turns go by, represented by a number decreasing from 100. Holding certain {{OBP|Scarf|Mystery Dungeon|scarves}} and looplets will cause the Belly to decrease more quickly. Walking one step or taking most other actions (such as attacking, using a non-linked move, or using a non-food item) takes 1/10{{sup/md|RB}}{{sup/md|TDS}}{{sup/md|GtI}}1/7{{sup/md|SMD}} belly point (by default; certain scarves and looplets increase or decrease the rate, as mentioned), using linked moves consumes 1 Belly point per move after the first, pushing other Pokémon takes a half belly point, and performing [[Alliance]]s takes three belly points. Other items will cause the Belly to deplete at a much slower rate, or not deplete at all. While a Pokémon's Belly is empty, it will no longer be able to run or perform linked moves or Alliances, its passive HP regeneration will cease, and its HP will decrease by 1{{sup/md|RB}}{{sup/md|TDS}}{{sup/md|GtI}}/3{{sup/md|SMD}} with every step it takes until it either [[Fainting|faints]] or eats something.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Gates to Infinity]], this feature was removed for most dungeons, but the mechanic returned in all dungeons in {{pkmn|Super Mystery Dungeon}}.

Belly can be replenished by eating most consumable items. When something is eaten at maximum Belly, the Pokémon's maximum Belly will increase temporarily until the dungeon is exited.

====Determination of Stats====
The Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series uses lookup tables to determine statistics. Each statistic depends on the Pokémon's species (and [[List of Pokémon with form differences|form]]) and [[level]], so Pokémon with the same species and level will always have identical statistics.

====Stat modifiers====
Stat modification works basically the same in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series as in the core series, but stat stages can range from -10 to +10. Whenever a Pokémon leaves a dungeon, advances a floor, or steps on a Wonder Tile, its stat stages reset to 0.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20140918063904/http://www.upokecenter.com/content/pokemon-mystery-dungeon-2-stats-and-values The Ultimate Pokémon Center on stats changes from first two Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games]</ref>

=====Stage multipliers=====
The Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series uses different multipliers for its stat stages than the core series games do.

===In Pokémon Conquest===
{{incomplete|section|Formula for Strength}}

In [[Pokémon Conquest]], Pokémon have HP, Range, Attack, Defense, and Speed stats, as well as a non-numeric Energy stat, and a derived stat called Strength.

While Range remains a fixed value, HP, Attack, Defense, and Speed are influenced by the Pokémon's Energy, and will also increase when the [[link]] with their Warrior increases.

====Determination of stats====
Much like in the core series, a Pokémon has base stat values for its species, and individual values that range from 0 to 31. Base stats in Pokémon Conquest are derived from the stats of a Level 100 Pokémon in a core series game with no EVs or IVs and a neutral nature. Attack is derived from either Attack or Special Attack depending on the category of that Pokémon's move in the core series, but often breaking from this if its other offensive stat is much higher. Defense is derived from the average of Defense and Special Defense in the core series, while HP and Speed are simply taken at face value.

HP, Attack, Defense, and Speed are all calculated from one formula:

[[File:Conquest_stat_formula.png]]

Attack, Defense, and Speed can all increase and decrease in stages; these work like they do [[#Stat modifiers|in the core series]], but generally only last a certain number of turns in battle. For example, the Adrenaline [[Warrior Skill]] raises a Pokémon's Attack by 1 stage, corresponding to a x1.5 increase with no prior modifiers, but the boost only lasts three turns.

====Range====
'''Range''' (Japanese: '''いどう''' ''movement'') determines the amount of tiles a Pokémon is able to move across the game's grid-based battlefields. This stat is a species-specific value; each of the 200 Pokémon species found in the game has a natural Range of 2, 3, or 4, with 3 being the most common. This means that any two Pokémon of the same species will always have the same Range unless something has modified their Ranges (signified by the value's text color changing from black to blue).

Range can be temporarily modified during battle by various [[Warrior Skill]]s, [[List of Abilities in Pokémon Conquest|Abilities]], and [[move]]s. The Ability {{DL|List of Abilities in Pokémon Conquest|Sprint}} permanently modifies Range, keeping it 1 above its natural value even outside of battle. Range has a maximum value of 6 and a minimum of 1. Snowy terrain will also hinder a Pokémon's movement.

====Speed====
In Pokémon Conquest, Speed does not determine movement or who gets to move first. Rather, Speed acts as a combination of Accuracy and Evasion. One Pokémon attacking another Pokémon that is significantly faster than it will have a lesser chance to hit its opponent, while a Pokémon that is faster than its opponent will have a better chance to hit it.

====Energy====
'''Energy''' (Japanese: '''テンション''' ''Tension'') affects a Pokémon's performance in battle and their [[link]] with their Warrior. A Pokémon's Energy can fluctuate between 5 levels, indicated by an arrow icon next to the Pokémon. A neutral state is indicated by a yellow arrow pointing straight right, while a higher state is indicated by the arrow angling upwards and turning more orange and a lower state is indicated by the arrow angling downwards and turning blue.

A Pokémon's stats are given a multiplier based on its Energy level:

{| class="roundy" style="background: #d32c3e; {{roundy|10px}}; border: 3px solid #090809"
|-
! style="background:#ed6374; {{roundytl|5px}}" |Energy level
! style="background:#ed6374; {{roundytr|5px}}" |Multiplier
|- style="background:#ffa64d"
|Highest
|1.1
|- style="background:#ffcc99"
|High
|1.05
|- style="background:#ffeecc"
|Neutral
|1
|- style="background:#cce6ff"
|Low
|0.95
|- style="background:#80c1ff"
| style="{{roundybl|5px}}" |Lowest
| style="{{roundybr|5px}}" |0.9
|}

In addition, a Pokémon with maximum Energy will gain slightly more link percentage after a battle, while a Pokémon with minimum Energy will gain less link percentage. Once every three months, every Pokémon in the army may have its Energy randomly increased or decreased by one stage.

The main way to recover Energy is by visiting {{DL|Kingdom location|Ponigiri Shop}}s, where buying [[Ponigiri]] will recover Energy for all Pokémon visiting the shop. Upgrading a Ponigiri shop allows for more expensive Ponigiri to be purchased which recover more Energy at once. Sometimes, the shop owner will offer a free second helping; accepting will either raise the Pokémon's Energy to a maximum, cause it to drop, or do nothing at all. Energy can also be increased with certain {{DL|Pokémon Conquest|kingdom events}}. Energy can also be recovered during battle by using [[List of Pokémon Conquest items|items]], [[List of Abilities in Pokémon Conquest|Pokémon abilities]], or by using certain [[Warrior Skill]]s. However, Energy boosts granted by Warrior Skills only last a number of turns, and the Pokémon's Energy will return to its prior value afterward. On occasions, at the start of a battle, a cutscene may show the player's Warlord talking about not wanting to lose to a certain enemy Warlord. The Warlord's Pokémon will then have their Energy raised for the battle.

====Strength====
'''Strength''' (Japanese: '''せんりょく''' ''battle ability'') is a derived value of the overall power of the Pokémon written as a number displayed next to the Pokémon. It increases when a Pokémon's link with its Warrior increases. It is not influenced by the Pokémon's Energy. A Warrior's army has a Strength equal to the combined Strength of their Pokémon. The strength of a Warrior's army may influence the behavior of other Warriors and the Strength of their armies.

====Warrior stats====
{{main|Warrior#Stats|Warrior → Stats}}
A [[Warrior]] in Pokémon Conquest has four stats of their own as well: Power, Wisdom, Charisma, and Capacity. Power, Wisdom, and Charisma influence how well the Pokémon a Warrior is [[link]]ed with perform in battle, as well as the outcomes when the Warrior visits various [[kingdom location]]s. Capacity limits the number of Pokémon a Warrior can link with.

===In Pokémon GO===
{{incomplete|section|Stat calculation example}}
Pokémon in [[Pokémon GO]] have '''HP''', '''Attack''', and '''Defense''' stats, as well as a derived stat, '''CP'''. Pokémon GO makes no distinction between physical or special damage like the core games do; instead, all [[List of moves in Pokémon GO|attacks]] simply use Attack and Defense to calculate damage. Of the four stats in Pokémon GO, however, only HP and CP are directly visible. For more information on how damage is calculated in GO, see {{DL|Damage|Pokémon GO|Damage → Pokémon GO}}.

====Conversion from the core series====
Each [[List of Pokémon by base stats (GO)|Pokémon's base stats]] are based off its stats from the core series. Base stats for Pokémon from Generations [[Generation I|I]] and [[Generation II|II]] are calculated using the base stats from the [[Generation VI]] core series. Pokémon from Generations [[Generation III|III]] and [[Generation IV|IV]] are based off their [[Generation VII]] base stats.

Aside from a few outliers, such as {{p|Shedinja}}'s HP, base stats in GO can be approximated by the following formulas: <ref>[https://pokemongo.gamepress.gg/explaining-october-2018-stat-change Explaining the October 2018 Stat Change]</ref>

[[File:HP conversion GO.png|x20px]]

[[File:Attack conversion GO.png|x48px]]

[[File:Defense conversion GO.png|x48px]]

[[File:SpeedMult GO.png|x45px]]

where
* <code>HP</code> is the HP stat from the core series
* <code>Attack</code> and <code>SpAtk</code> are the Attack and Sp. Attack stats from the core series
* <code>Defense</code> and <code>SpDef</code> are the Defense and Sp. Defense stats from the core series
* <code>Speed</code> is the Speed stat from the core series

After these calculations, if a Pokémon has a maximum CP of over 4,000, then for balancing purposes, all its base stats will be multiplied by 0.91.

====Determination of stats====
Calculating a Pokémon's stats in Pokémon GO depends on [[List of Pokémon by base stats (GO)|its species' base stats]], its [[individual values|IVs]], and its [[Power Up]] level. Whereas the core games have many ways in which one Pokémon's stats can become different from another's, in Pokémon GO, ultimately only a Pokémon's IVs will distinguish its stats from another of the same species.

The formulas for the three basic stats are

[[File:Stat calc GO.png|x25px]]

where
* <code>base</code> refers to the relevant base stat
* <code>IV</code> refers to the IV for the stat in question
* <code>cpMult</code> is the CP multiplier, which is determined by the Pokémon's current [[Power Up]] level.
** For HP, the minimum value is 10.

Pokémon defending a {{OBP|Gym|GO}} also have twice their regular HP during Gym battles.

====CP====
'''Combat Power''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|総合的|そうごうてき}}な{{tt|強|つよ}}さ''' ''Total Power''), abbreviated as '''CP''' (Japanese: '''{{j|CP}}'''), is a value derived from all three base stats to roughly indicate a Pokémon's capability in battle. This means that two Pokémon of the same species with the same CP may still have slightly different underlying stats.

The formula for CP uses the values of the stats resulting from the formula above (without rounding their results and before accounting for HP's minimum of 10):

[[File:CP calc GO.png]]

However, like HP, the minimum value for CP is also 10. Since Attack is factored directly into the formula for CP while HP and Defense are only factored in after taking their square root, this gives Attack a greater influence on the final value of CP than the other two stats.

====In-battle modification====
Since February 15, 2019, in {{OBP|Trainer Battle|GO}}s, some [[List of moves in Pokémon GO#Charged Attacks|Charged Attacks]] have a chance of increasing the user's stats or decreasing the opponent's stats after use.

===In Pokémon: Magikarp Jump===
===={{anchor|JP|Jump Power}}====
{{incomplete|section}}
'''Jump Power''' (Japanese: '''はねる{{tt|力|ちから}}''' ''Jump Power''), or '''JP''' (Japanese: '''{{j|CP}}'''), is a stat that indicates a {{p|Magikarp}}'s ability to jump in [[Pokémon: Magikarp Jump]].

==In the anime==
{{incomplete|section|other appearances}}
[[File:Korrina Lucario Swords Dance.png|thumb|250px|[[Korrina's Lucario]]'s raising its attack power with {{m|Swords Dance}}]]
Stats in the anime appear to leave out the Special and Physical concept. It is more dependent on attack power and the amount of damage inflicted instead of Attack and Special Attack, and endurance rather than Special Defense and Defense.

===In the {{series|original}}===
In ''[[EP140|Wired For Battle!]]'', HP was shown on [[Shingo]]'s laptop where Blade's {{m|Quick Attack}} lowered {{AP|Heracross}}'s HP by half.

===In the {{series|Advanced Generation}}===
In ''[[AG111|Eight Ain't Enough]]'', [[Juan]]'s {{p|Whiscash}} used {{m|Tickle}} on [[Ash's Swellow]] which lowered Swellow's defensive strength.

In ''[[AG128|Shocks and Bonds]]'', [[Johnny]]'s {{p|Aggron}} used {{m|Harden}}, a Defense-boosting move, which defended itself against {{ho|Tyson}}'s {{p|Sceptile}}'s {{m|Solar Beam}}, a special move.

===In the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}===
In ''[[DP131|Pedal to the Mettle!]]'', [[Paul]]'s {{p|Weavile}} used {{m|Swords Dance}}, an Attack-boosting move, which boosted {{m|Blizzard}}, a special move, as well as {{m|Ice Shard}} and {{m|Metal Claw}}.

===In the {{series|Best Wishes}}===
In ''[[BW023|Battling For The Love of Bug-Types!]]'', [[Burgh]]'s {{p|Whirlipede}} used {{m|Iron Defense}} to defend itself against [[Ash's Sewaddle]]'s {{m|Bug Bite}}.

In ''[[BW104|Mission: Defeat Your Rival!]]'', {{an|Bianca}}'s {{p|Escavalier}} used Iron Defense several times to maximize its Defense.

===In the {{series|XY}}===
As of the {{series|XY}}, Pokémon will occasionally glow red after their attack strength has changed, as exhibited by [[Korrina's Lucario]] in ''[[XY030|Mega Revelations!]]'', or blue after their defensive strength has been changed, as shown by [[Alain]]'s [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} X in ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', [[Ramos]]'s {{p|Jumpluff}} in ''[[XY058|The Green, Green Grass Types of Home!]]'', and {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Pikachu}} in ''[[XY128|A Riveting Rivalry!]]''.

===In the {{series|Sun & Moon}}===
The {{series|Sun & Moon}} generally retains the added visual aids from the ''XY'' series, as seen as when [[Kiawe's Turtonator]] used {{m|Shell Smash}} in ''[[SM034|A Crowning Moment of Truth!]]''. However, in ''[[SM104|That's Some Spicy Island Research!]]'', [[Hapu]]'s {{p|Mudsdale}} glowed red while increasing its defense with {{a|Stamina}}.

'''Pikachu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ピカチュウ''' ''Pikachu'') is an {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pichu}} when [[level]]ed up with high [[friendship]] and evolves into {{p|Raichu}} when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]]. However, the [[Red's Pikachu (game)|starter Pikachu]] in {{game|Yellow}} will refuse to evolve into Raichu unless it is traded and evolved on another save file.

In [[Alola]], Pikachu will evolve into {{rf|Alolan}} Raichu when exposed to a Thunder Stone.

It also has a [[Gigantamax]] form.

Pikachu is popularly known as the mascot of the [[Pokémon]] franchise and a major representative of [[Nintendo]]'s collective mascots.

It is also the [[game mascot]] and [[starter Pokémon]] of {{game|Yellow}} and [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu!]]. It has made numerous appearances on the boxes of spin-off titles.

Pikachu is also the starter Pokémon in [[Pokémon Rumble Blast]] and [[Pokémon Rumble World]].

==Biology==
{{cleanup|section}}
Pikachu is a short, chubby rodent Pokémon. It is covered in yellow fur with two horizontal brown stripes on its back. It has a small mouth, long, pointed ears with black tips, and brown eyes. Each cheek is a red circle that contains a pouch for electricity storage. It has short forearms with five fingers on each paw, and its feet each have three toes. At the base of its lightning bolt-shaped tail is a patch of brown fur. A female will have a V-shaped notch at the end of its tail, which looks like the top of a heart. It is classified as a quadruped, but it has been known to stand and walk on its hind legs.

[[EP039|The anime]] has shown that wild Pikachu live in groups in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forested areas}}. Pikachu communicate amongst themselves using squeaks and tail-shaking as friendly gestures. [[SM091|In the anime]], [[Alola]]n Pikachu are known to greet each other by sniffing one another and rubbing their tails together. Electricity can be used to receive and send messages with each other, as well as other {{t|Electric}} Pokémon species. It raises its tail to check its surroundings and is occasionally struck by lightning in this position. When groups grow, they can inadvertently cause lightning storms. Pikachu forages for {{Berries}}, which it roasts with electricity to make them tender enough to eat. A sure sign that Pikachu inhabits a location is patches of burnt grass. [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu|It has been observed]] eating and sometimes destroying telephone poles, wires, and other electronic equipment.

Pikachu charges itself while sleeping overnight, though stress and a lack of sleep can affect this. It is able to release electric discharges of varying intensity. Pikachu has [[EP030|been known]] to build up energy in its glands, which it will need to discharge to avoid complications. It is also able to release energy through its tail, which acts as a grounding rod, as well as recharging fellow Pikachu with electric shocks. Pikachu can also electrify itself to use its [[signature move]] {{m|Volt Tackle}}.

Pikachu has three [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Pikachu|alternate forms]]: one, the [[Cosplay Pikachu]] appeared exclusively in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. It is always female, has a black heart-shaped spot at the end of its tail, and can be dressed in any of five outfits corresponding to the five [[Contest conditions]]. The second form is {{DL|Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu in a cap}}, which debuted as an event-exclusive Pokémon in [[Generation VII]]. It is always male and has seven variants, each wearing one of {{Ash}}'s [[Ash's hat|hats]] from the anime. In addition to these two forms, many other [[Pikachu variants]] have appeared in various media. The last, {{ga|Partner Pokémon|Partner}} Pikachu is the Pokémon the player [[starter Pokémon|starts with]] in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu!]]. This Pikachu can be either gender, has higher base stats, and has access to [[move]]s that normal Pikachu do not.

As Gigantamax Pikachu, it becomes larger and chubbier. Its tail becomes longer and stores all of the electricity it generates, causing it to glow a bright yellow and enabling it to become as powerful as a lightning strike. Its power is equal to that a power plant; however, it is difficult to use it in peoples' homes since Pikachu can only remain in its Gigantamax form for a short time.<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/gigantamax-pikachu/</ref>

Pikachu is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Catastropika}}, while Pikachu in a cap has its own exclusive Z-Move, {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}}. Partner Pikachu is the only Pokémon capable of using {{m|Zippy Zap}}, {{m|Floaty Fall}}, {{m|Splishy Splash}}, and the Partner Power, {{m|Pika Papow}}. Pikachu is the only Pokémon capable of using the [[Light Ball]] item. Gigantamax Pikachu is the only known Pokémon capable of using the [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Volt Crash}}.

=====[[Pikachutwo]]=====

It was followed in {{TCG|Jungle|the next set}} by another {{TCG ID|Jungle|Pikachu|60}} (which was also reprinted in the {{TCG|Legendary Collection}}). The third Pikachu card released was the first-ever English {{TCG|Wizards Black Star Promos|promo card}}, {{TCG ID|Wizards Promo|Pikachu|1}}. The original Base Set Pikachu was also released as a special promotional card at {{wp|E3}}.

In the early days of the TCG, several notable errors were made regarding the Pikachu cards. The Base Set Pikachu was released with altered artwork at first, depicting it with red cheeks, instead of the original yellow. While this matched [[Ken Sugimori]]'s artwork, the yellow color on its cheeks was intentional by the artist, who depicted Pikachu using {{m|ThunderShock}}. This error appeared in both the E3 promotional version and the normal Base Set release. A second error was made in the production of Jungle set booster packs, which, instead of the Jungle set's Pikachu, sometimes contained first edition versions of the Pikachu that was released as a promo card.

Pikachu has also been featured on a number of TCG {{TCG|coin}}s, with one being included with the English and European languages-only {{tcg|Base Set 2}}. This coin was also featured in the {{g|Play It!}} PC game. A Pikachu coin is also featured in the [[Game Boy]] game {{ga|Pokémon Trading Card Game}}, and is one of the coins that can be obtained in {{g|Card GB2: Here Comes Team GR!}}, where it is given by [[Club Master Isaac]] to winners of the [[Lightning Club]].

==In the TFG==
Two Pikachu figures have been released.

==Other appearances==
===[[Pokkén Tournament]]===
[[File:{{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 2}}|0=Pokkén Pikachu|1=Pokkén Pikachu Libre}}.png|thumb|220px|{{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 2}}|0=Pikachu in Pokkén Tournament|1=Pikachu Libre in Pokkén Tournament}}]]
Pikachu is a playable character for the arcade fighting game. Its moveset includes electrical attacks it uses in the main games, like {{m|Thunderbolt}}, {{m|Electro Ball}}, and {{m|Thunder}}. In Burst form, it can use the Burst Attack Volt Shock Fist. Several of its attacks and victory poses are directly taken from {{wp|Heihachi Mishima|Heihachi}} and {{wp|Kazuya Mishima}}'s movesets from the ''{{wp|Tekken}}'' series.

''Pikachu overwhelms opponents with powerful electric shocks and quick movements.''<ref>[http://www.pokkentournament.com/en-ca/characters/ Pokkén Tournament's official site]</ref>

[[Cosplay Pikachu|Pikachu Libre]] was first announced alongside the [[Wii U]] port of the game. She was later released as an additional fighter on the original arcade version.

''Pikachu Libre, a wrestling idol, is a small masked fighter overflowing with fighting spirit.''

===[[Super Smash Bros.]]===
{{main|Pikachu (Super Smash Bros.)}}

==={{ga|Detective Pikachu}}===
Detective Pikachu stars a {{OBP|Detective Pikachu|character|Pikachu}} that is [[Talking Pokemon|capable of speaking the human language]], but only the player character [[Tim Goodman]] is capable of hearing him. Much like {{MTR}} from the anime, he is incapable of using moves that most Pikachu are capable of using. This Pikachu also really loves to drink coffee. Early on in the game, a regular Pikachu also briefly appears.

==Game data==
===As the player===
{{main|Pikachu (PokéPark)}}
Pikachu appears as the [[player character]] in both [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]] and its sequel, [[PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond]]. He falls down a mysterious tunnel one day with his friends {{p|Charmander}}, {{p|Chikorita}}, and {{OBP|Piplup|PokéPark}} and ends up in the {{ga|PokéPark}}. There he goes on an quest to save the PokéPark from certain destruction. He later travels to a new PokéPark which is being threatened by the ever-expanding [[Wish Park]]. At the new PokéPark he meets {{p|Snivy}}, {{p|Tepig}}, and {{p|Oshawott}}, and they help to save the PokéPark from danger.

===NPC appearances===
* {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}}: Pikachu stars in the mini-game "Thundering Dynamo" alongside {{p|Voltorb}}. This mini-game involves charging up electric power.
* [[Hey You, Pikachu!]]: Pikachu stars alongside an unnamed child (who bears a striking resemblance to {{ga|Red}}) who was recently taught how to interact with wild Pokémon by [[Professor Oak]]. The boy and Pikachu form a bond and go on many adventures together, and one day the Pikachu decides to live with the boy.
* {{g|Stadium 2}}: Pikachu can be used in "Pichu's Power Plant" if one is detected in a Transferred Pokémon game.
* {{g|Pinball}}: Pikachu serves as a Ball-Saver, but it will only work if the Lightning Meter is full.
* {{g|Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire}}: Pikachu has the same role as in Pokémon Pinball but is sometimes helped by {{p|Pichu}}. Pikachu also appears on the Catch 'Em Mode banner.
* {{g|Channel}}: Much like Hey You, Pikachu!, Pokémon Channel focuses on a boy and a Pikachu bonding through social interactions, such as going outside and talking to other Pokémon, and watching TV together.

==Trivia==
*Pikachu was designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]], a core designer at Game Freak.<ref>[http://www.natsume.com/news/news_pdffiles/pid_129_HSBigNames0806.pdf Natsume: THE TALENT BEHIND HOMETOWN STORY]</ref>
[[File:Niue Dollar Pikachu.jpg|thumb|250px|$1 coin from {{wp|Niue}} featuring Pikachu]]
[[File:Stadium025.png|thumb|Pikachu in Pokémon Stadium]]
* The nation of {{wp|Niue}} released a one-dollar coin with its coat of arms on one side and Pikachu on the other to promote the Pokémon franchise.
* Pikachu and its evolved form share their {{pkmn|category}}, the Mouse Pokémon, with {{p|Rattata}}, {{p|Raticate}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, and {{p|Sandslash}}.
** All but Pikachu also have [[regional form]]s in [[Alola]].
* [[Veronica Taylor]] has said Pikachu is her favorite {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. [[Sarah Natochenny]] has as well, shared with {{p|Mew}}.
* In 2008, Japanese researchers discovered a new protein that helps carry electrical impulses from the eyes to the brain and named it {{wp|pikachurin}}. According to them, it was so named for sharing Pikachu's "lightning-fast moves and shocking electric effects".
* {{wp|Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade}} has included three Pikachu balloons. "Flying Pikachu" was the first, flown from 2001 to 2005, and was used in a morning rush hour test of wind conditions in {{wp|Times Square}} after an accident involving an {{wp|M&M's}} balloon in the 2005 parade.<ref>[http://www.nytimes.com/2006/05/23/nyregion/23balloon.html?_r=0 Pikachu Soars as Trial Balloon for a Safer Macy's Parade - New York Times]</ref> It was last used in the August 2006 [[Pokémon 10th Anniversary|Party of the Decade]] in New York City's {{wp|Bryant Park}}. The second balloon debuted in the 2006 parade, features glowing cheeks, and chases a {{i|Poké Ball}} balloon. The third, introduced in the 2014 parade, wears a green scarf and holds a small, Pikachu-shaped snowman.
* Pikachu is the only [[core series]] [[starter Pokémon]] with a pre-evolved form, though {{game|Yellow}} predates {{p|Pichu}}.
* According to ''[[A Sneak Peek at Pokémon]]'', Pikachu can deliver a constant current of 1000 {{wp|ampere}}s.
* Pikachu has the most [[event Pokémon|event]]-exclusive [[move]]s available to it.
* In the Japanese {{jap|Pokémon Stadium}}, Pikachu is the only usable Pokémon that is not fully [[Evolution|evolved]].
* In {{game|Yellow}} and from [[Generation VI]] onward, Pikachu uses its [[cry]] from the {{pkmn|anime}} (voiced by [[Ikue Ohtani]]). Before [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], it was the only Pokémon to do so in core series games.
** Its battle cry differs from status or Pokédex screens.
** The {{ga|Red's Pikachu|starter Pikachu}} in Yellow has unique voice clips in {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} and {{pkmn|Stadium 2}}.
* Pikachu is the only core series starter Pokémon that does not have a 7:1 gender ratio.
* {{4v|Black|White}} are the only core series games in which Pikachu cannot be obtained without transporting or an event.
* Pikachu was the focus of a {{OBP|Pokémon Center|store}} [[Sleeping Pikachu Collection|collection]] in June 2014.
* Pikachu is the only not fully evolved Pokémon whose [[base stats]] increased in [[Generation VI]], and also the only to receive more than one: Defense and Special Defense.
* Pikachu is the only Pokémon that can be caught in all three pinball titles: [[Pokémon Pinball]], [[Pokémon Pinball mini]], and [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]].
* Pikachu is number 025 in both the [[National Pokédex]] and [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number (Sun and Moon)|Alola Pokédex]] in {{pkmn|Sun and Moon}}.
* Pikachu originally had a second-stage evolution named "Gorochu", which would have had two horns and fangs. Sugimori stated that while there was nothing wrong with its appearance, it was nonetheless omitted, as the staff found that the game balance was better without it.<ref name=int>[http://www.siliconera.com/2018/05/03/pikachu-originally-second-evolution-called-gorochu-large-fangs-two-horns/ Siliconera - Pikachu Originally Had A Second Evolution Called ‘Gorochu’ With Large Fangs And Two Horns]</ref>
* Its [[Gigantamax]] form is most likely a reference to its earlier, more rotund design from [[Generation I|Generations I]] and {{gen|II}}.

===Origin===
Pikachu is based on a {{wp|mouse}} after its name. Its cheek pouches were also inspired by {{wp|squirrel}}s, which store food in their cheeks. The stripes on its back and its lightning bolt-shaped tail were given for aesthetic reasons.<ref name=int/>

Pikachu's designer, [[Atsuko Nishida]], revealed in an interview that it was originally a {{wp|daifuku}}-like creature with ears. Its black ear tips are remnants from this original concept.<ref name=int/>

====Name origin====
Pikachu is a combination of ピカピカ ''pikapika'' (onomatopoeia for sparkle) and チューチュー ''chūchū'' (the sound of a mouse squeaking).<ref>[http://edition.cnn.com/ASIANOW/time/magazine/99/1122/pokemon6.fullinterview2.html TIME - The Ultimate Game Freak]</ref> It may also be derived from "peekaboo".

'''Pikachu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ピカチュウ''' ''Pikachu'') is an {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pichu}} when [[level]]ed up with high [[friendship]] and evolves into {{p|Raichu}} when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]]. However, the [[Red's Pikachu (game)|starter Pikachu]] in {{game|Yellow}} will refuse to evolve into Raichu unless it is traded and evolved on another save file.

In [[Alola]], Pikachu will evolve into {{rf|Alolan}} Raichu when exposed to a Thunder Stone.

It also has a [[Gigantamax]] form.

Pikachu is popularly known as the mascot of the [[Pokémon]] franchise and a major representative of [[Nintendo]]'s collective mascots.

It is also the [[game mascot]] and [[starter Pokémon]] of {{game|Yellow}} and [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu!]]. It has made numerous appearances on the boxes of spin-off titles.

Pikachu is also the starter Pokémon in [[Pokémon Rumble Blast]] and [[Pokémon Rumble World]].

==Biology==
{{cleanup|section}}
Pikachu is a short, chubby rodent Pokémon. It is covered in yellow fur with two horizontal brown stripes on its back. It has a small mouth, long, pointed ears with black tips, and brown eyes. Each cheek is a red circle that contains a pouch for electricity storage. It has short forearms with five fingers on each paw, and its feet each have three toes. At the base of its lightning bolt-shaped tail is a patch of brown fur. A female will have a V-shaped notch at the end of its tail, which looks like the top of a heart. It is classified as a quadruped, but it has been known to stand and walk on its hind legs.

[[EP039|The anime]] has shown that wild Pikachu live in groups in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forested areas}}. Pikachu communicate amongst themselves using squeaks and tail-shaking as friendly gestures. [[SM091|In the anime]], [[Alola]]n Pikachu are known to greet each other by sniffing one another and rubbing their tails together. Electricity can be used to receive and send messages with each other, as well as other {{t|Electric}} Pokémon species. It raises its tail to check its surroundings and is occasionally struck by lightning in this position. When groups grow, they can inadvertently cause lightning storms. Pikachu forages for {{Berries}}, which it roasts with electricity to make them tender enough to eat. A sure sign that Pikachu inhabits a location is patches of burnt grass. [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu|It has been observed]] eating and sometimes destroying telephone poles, wires, and other electronic equipment.

Pikachu charges itself while sleeping overnight, though stress and a lack of sleep can affect this. It is able to release electric discharges of varying intensity. Pikachu has [[EP030|been known]] to build up energy in its glands, which it will need to discharge to avoid complications. It is also able to release energy through its tail, which acts as a grounding rod, as well as recharging fellow Pikachu with electric shocks. Pikachu can also electrify itself to use its [[signature move]] {{m|Volt Tackle}}.

Pikachu has three [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Pikachu|alternate forms]]: one, the [[Cosplay Pikachu]] appeared exclusively in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. It is always female, has a black heart-shaped spot at the end of its tail, and can be dressed in any of five outfits corresponding to the five [[Contest conditions]]. The second form is {{DL|Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu in a cap}}, which debuted as an event-exclusive Pokémon in [[Generation VII]]. It is always male and has seven variants, each wearing one of {{Ash}}'s [[Ash's hat|hats]] from the anime. In addition to these two forms, many other [[Pikachu variants]] have appeared in various media. The last, {{ga|Partner Pokémon|Partner}} Pikachu is the Pokémon the player [[starter Pokémon|starts with]] in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu!]]. This Pikachu can be either gender, has higher base stats, and has access to [[move]]s that normal Pikachu do not.

As Gigantamax Pikachu, it becomes larger and chubbier. Its tail becomes longer and stores all of the electricity it generates, causing it to glow a bright yellow and enabling it to become as powerful as a lightning strike. Its power is equal to that a power plant; however, it is difficult to use it in peoples' homes since Pikachu can only remain in its Gigantamax form for a short time.<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/gigantamax-pikachu/</ref>

Pikachu is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Catastropika}}, while Pikachu in a cap has its own exclusive Z-Move, {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}}. Partner Pikachu is the only Pokémon capable of using {{m|Zippy Zap}}, {{m|Floaty Fall}}, {{m|Splishy Splash}}, and the Partner Power, {{m|Pika Papow}}. Pikachu is the only Pokémon capable of using the [[Light Ball]] item. Gigantamax Pikachu is the only known Pokémon capable of using the [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Volt Crash}}.

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
[[File:Ash Pikachu.png|thumb|250px|Pikachu in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Ash's Pikachu]]=====
[[Ash Ketchum]] has a Pikachu that he [[Starter Pokémon|obtained]] from {{an|Professor Oak}} in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', the first episode of the Pokémon anime, which also marked its debut. He is the signature Pokémon of the anime series and has appeared in every non-special episode and every Pokémon movie since. Ash's Pikachu [[Walking Pokémon|remains outside]] of his {{i|Poké Ball}}.

=====[[Pikachutwo]]=====
In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', {{OBP|Mewtwo|original series}} cloned Ash's Pikachu. This Pikachu can be distinguished from Ash's due to the spikes in the black marks found on the tips of its ears. It is also comparatively more aggressive than Ash's Pikachu and slurs its speech, defects possibly caused by Ash tampering with Mewtwo's cloning machine during the cloning process.

=====[[Puka]]=====
A Pikachu [[nickname]]d Puka was owned by {{OBP|Victor|EP067}} on {{an|Seafoam Island}} in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]''. This blue-eyed Pikachu saved Ash from drowning by having the ability to sense tidal waves approaching.

=====[[Sparky]]=====
[[Ritchie]] has a Pikachu nicknamed Sparky, who debuted in ''[[EP078|A Friend In Deed]]''. Sparky, unlike most Pikachu, has a tuft of fur on the top of its head, and, unlike Ash's Pikachu, has no problem with living inside a Poké Ball.

=====[[Ashachu]]=====
Ash was turned into a Pikachu in ''[[EP241|Hocus Pokémon]]'' by a Pokémon magician named {{OBP|Lily|EP241}}. He reverted to his human form at the beginning of [[EP242|the next episode]].

=====[[Cosplay Pikachu]]=====
All of the Cosplay Pikachu appeared in ''[[XY078|Lights! Camera! Pika!]]'', under the ownership of [[Frank]]. They reappeared in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', where they were all summoned by {{an|Hoopa}} as part of a prank on Ash and his Pikachu.

=====[[Ash's Pikachu (M20)]]=====
The {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20}} of the alternate continuity introduced in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'' has a Pikachu of his own. Like the Pikachu of the main series, this Pikachu was his first Pokémon and his main partner, remaining outside of his Poké Ball.

=====Other=====
[[File:Boss.png|thumb|220px|left|A {{Shiny}} Pikachu in the anime]]
[[File:Ayumi Pikachu.png|thumb|220px|A female Pikachu in the anime]]
A Pikachu appeared in ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]''. [[James]] used it in the Pokémon League Entrance Exam, but it was defeated by the [[Pokémon League entrance exam instructor|instructor]]'s {{p|Graveler}}. After interfering with a battle {{Ash}} was having with the instructor, James later tried to steal this Pikachu, only for it to zap James instead, as instructed by its instructor.

==In the TCG==
[[File:PikachuBaseSet58.png|200px|thumb|Pikachu in the TCG]]
[[File:GBML Bronze Pikachu Coin.png|thumb|100px|left|Pikachu TCG Coin]]
{{main|Pikachu (TCG)}}
Pikachu somehow manages to find its way into many of the expansions, causing there to be {{#expr: {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Pikachu (TCG)}} - 1}} known non-reprint Pokémon cards featuring Pikachu. There are also various Trainer cards with Pikachu in the card's artwork too, including the very sought-after tournament promos such as {{OBP|No.1 Trainer|Tournament promo}}.

The first Pikachu that appeared in the TCG was {{TCG ID|Base Set|Pikachu|58}} in the {{TCG|Base Set}} (which was reprinted in {{TCG|Base Set 2}} and in {{TCG|POP Series 2}} with different artwork). It was followed in {{TCG|Jungle|the next set}} by another {{TCG ID|Jungle|Pikachu|60}} (which was also reprinted in the {{TCG|Legendary Collection}}). The third Pikachu card released was the first-ever English {{TCG|Wizards Black Star Promos|promo card}}, {{TCG ID|Wizards Promo|Pikachu|1}}. The original Base Set Pikachu was also released as a special promotional card at {{wp|E3}}.

In the early days of the TCG, several notable errors were made regarding the Pikachu cards. The Base Set Pikachu was released with altered artwork at first, depicting it with red cheeks, instead of the original yellow. While this matched [[Ken Sugimori]]'s artwork, the yellow color on its cheeks was intentional by the artist, who depicted Pikachu using {{m|ThunderShock}}. This error appeared in both the E3 promotional version and the normal Base Set release. A second error was made in the production of Jungle set booster packs, which, instead of the Jungle set's Pikachu, sometimes contained first edition versions of the Pikachu that was released as a promo card.

Pikachu has also been featured on a number of TCG {{TCG|coin}}s, with one being included with the English and European languages-only {{tcg|Base Set 2}}. This coin was also featured in the {{g|Play It!}} PC game. A Pikachu coin is also featured in the [[Game Boy]] game {{ga|Pokémon Trading Card Game}}, and is one of the coins that can be obtained in {{g|Card GB2: Here Comes Team GR!}}, where it is given by [[Club Master Isaac]] to winners of the [[Lightning Club]].

Pikachu is a playable character for the arcade fighting game. Its moveset includes electrical attacks it uses in the main games, like {{m|Thunderbolt}}, {{m|Electro Ball}}, and {{m|Thunder}}.

Several of its attacks and victory poses are directly taken from {{wp|Heihachi Mishima|Heihachi}} and {{wp|Kazuya Mishima}}'s movesets from the ''{{wp|Tekken}}'' series.

''Pikachu overwhelms opponents with powerful electric shocks and quick movements.''<ref>[http://www.pokkentournament.com/en-ca/characters/ Pokkén Tournament's official site]</ref>

==Trivia==
*Pikachu was designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]], a core designer at Game Freak.<ref>[http://www.natsume.com/news/news_pdffiles/pid_129_HSBigNames0806.pdf Natsume: THE TALENT BEHIND HOMETOWN STORY]</ref>
[[File:Niue Dollar Pikachu.jpg|thumb|250px|$1 coin from {{wp|Niue}} featuring Pikachu]]
[[File:Stadium025.png|thumb|Pikachu in Pokémon Stadium]]
* The nation of {{wp|Niue}} released a one-dollar coin with its coat of arms on one side and Pikachu on the other to promote the Pokémon franchise.
* Pikachu and its evolved form share their {{pkmn|category}}, the Mouse Pokémon, with {{p|Rattata}}, {{p|Raticate}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, and {{p|Sandslash}}.
** All but Pikachu also have [[regional form]]s in [[Alola]].
* [[Veronica Taylor]] has said Pikachu is her favorite {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. [[Sarah Natochenny]] has as well, shared with {{p|Mew}}.
* In 2008, Japanese researchers discovered a new protein that helps carry electrical impulses from the eyes to the brain and named it {{wp|pikachurin}}. According to them, it was so named for sharing Pikachu's "lightning-fast moves and shocking electric effects".
* {{wp|Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade}} has included three Pikachu balloons. "Flying Pikachu" was the first, flown from 2001 to 2005, and was used in a morning rush hour test of wind conditions in {{wp|Times Square}} after an accident involving an {{wp|M&M's}} balloon in the 2005 parade.<ref>[http://www.nytimes.com/2006/05/23/nyregion/23balloon.html?_r=0 Pikachu Soars as Trial Balloon for a Safer Macy's Parade - New York Times]</ref> It was last used in the August 2006 [[Pokémon 10th Anniversary|Party of the Decade]] in New York City's {{wp|Bryant Park}}. The second balloon debuted in the 2006 parade, features glowing cheeks, and chases a {{i|Poké Ball}} balloon. The third, introduced in the 2014 parade, wears a green scarf and holds a small, Pikachu-shaped snowman.
* Pikachu is the only [[core series]] [[starter Pokémon]] with a pre-evolved form, though {{game|Yellow}} predates {{p|Pichu}}.
* According to ''[[A Sneak Peek at Pokémon]]'', Pikachu can deliver a constant current of 1000 {{wp|ampere}}s.
* Pikachu has the most [[event Pokémon|event]]-exclusive [[move]]s available to it.
* In the Japanese {{jap|Pokémon Stadium}}, Pikachu is the only usable Pokémon that is not fully [[Evolution|evolved]].
* In {{game|Yellow}} and from [[Generation VI]] onward, Pikachu uses its [[cry]] from the {{pkmn|anime}} (voiced by [[Ikue Ohtani]]). Before [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], it was the only Pokémon to do so in core series games.
** Its battle cry differs from status or Pokédex screens.
** The {{ga|Red's Pikachu|starter Pikachu}} in Yellow has unique voice clips in {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} and {{pkmn|Stadium 2}}.
* Pikachu is the only core series starter Pokémon that does not have a 7:1 gender ratio.
* {{4v|Black|White}} are the only core series games in which Pikachu cannot be obtained without transporting or an event.
* Pikachu was the focus of a {{OBP|Pokémon Center|store}} [[Sleeping Pikachu Collection|collection]] in June 2014.
* Pikachu is the only not fully evolved Pokémon whose [[base stats]] increased in [[Generation VI]], and also the only to receive more than one: Defense and Special Defense.
* Pikachu is the only Pokémon that can be caught in all three pinball titles: [[Pokémon Pinball]], [[Pokémon Pinball mini]], and [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]].
* Pikachu is number 025 in both the [[National Pokédex]] and [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number (Sun and Moon)|Alola Pokédex]] in {{pkmn|Sun and Moon}}.
* Pikachu originally had a second-stage evolution named "Gorochu", which would have had two horns and fangs. Sugimori stated that while there was nothing wrong with its appearance, it was nonetheless omitted, as the staff found that the game balance was better without it.<ref name=int>[http://www.siliconera.com/2018/05/03/pikachu-originally-second-evolution-called-gorochu-large-fangs-two-horns/ Siliconera - Pikachu Originally Had A Second Evolution Called ‘Gorochu’ With Large Fangs And Two Horns]</ref>
* Its [[Gigantamax]] form is most likely a reference to its earlier, more rotund design from [[Generation I|Generations I]] and {{gen|II}}.

===Origin===
Pikachu is based on a {{wp|mouse}} after its name. Its cheek pouches were also inspired by {{wp|squirrel}}s, which store food in their cheeks. The stripes on its back and its lightning bolt-shaped tail were given for aesthetic reasons.<ref name=int/>

Pikachu's designer, [[Atsuko Nishida]], revealed in an interview that it was originally a {{wp|daifuku}}-like creature with ears. Its black ear tips are remnants from this original concept.<ref name=int/>

====Name origin====
Pikachu is a combination of ピカピカ ''pikapika'' (onomatopoeia for sparkle) and チューチュー ''chūchū'' (the sound of a mouse squeaking).<ref>[http://edition.cnn.com/ASIANOW/time/magazine/99/1122/pokemon6.fullinterview2.html TIME - The Ultimate Game Freak]</ref> It may also be derived from "peekaboo".

'''Coil''' (Japanese: '''とぐろをまく''' ''Coil Up'') is a non-damaging {{type|Poison}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation V]].

==Effect==
Coil raises the user's {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Defense}}, and {{stat|accuracy}} stats by one stage each.

If powered up by a [[Poisonium Z]] into Z-Coil, all of the user's lowered stats are reset.

There are more items in these ruins than is listed.

Anyone know anything about this?[[User:Shadowhammer321|Shadowhammer321]] 10:03, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

This page is inaccurate. The items are different for every person, or at least, thats how it looks to me. I got a relic statue on the first floor, and that isn't on this page. I think that either the items are different for every person, or no-one here is getting all the items. --[[User:Fishmonk|Fishmonk]] 18:03, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

:See my comment further down the page. There are a huge number of items on the first floor in particular which aren't listed. The plates are correct, but there are a number of Relic items as well. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] [[User talk:AndyPKMN|(talk)]] 19:07, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

The items are not different for every person. They are now updated with the accurate amounts for every floor. In total: 14 relic plates, 6 copper coins, 6 silver coins, 7 gold coins, 5 bands, 3 statues, 4 vases, 1 crown. [[User:Proton8|Proton8]] 00:12, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

OK, so. I saw that the translation someone added (matching the thread posted above) was deleted by someone else on the grounds of "verifiability" (or lack thereof). However, there [http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/pok-mon/abyssal-ruins-method-of-translation/t.70619547/?_gaia_t_=3934 are a number of] [http://www.pokemongts.com/showthread.php?tid=86133 sources over the internet that translate the pillars] to say the same thing. Regardless of whether or not the same method of translation is being passed around the fact is it works; I myself have literally just gone into the ruins and used it to translate some of the pillars myself into alphabet characters that (when read in the correct direction i.e. right to left & bottom to top and pieced together, since the pillars are scattered about) also corresponds to the message everyone else has gotten. Do it yourself, if you don't believe me. The fact of the matter is that symbols - whether or not they are cuneiform, which I personally cannot tell - can be translated and arranged into a coherent english message and I think they deserve to be added.[[User:Green Zubat|Green Zubat]] 00:42, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

there seem to be at least three languages in the pokemon world, unown alphabet, braille, and this cipher language. does anyone else think its worth creating a separate article for 'ancient languages?'[[User:Arrchec|Arrchec]] 01:53, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

:Good idea, except they're not separate ''languages'', they're different [[wp:Writing system|scripts]]; braille, Unown & Abyssal are all written in the English language but not the Roman alphabet.[[User:Green Zubat|Green Zubat]] 23:33, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

== About those unknown symbols in the writing ==

Is there a particular reason they're numbered 3-6 instead of 1-4? Or is it just an arbitrary decision? [[User:Yamiidenryuu|Yamiidenryuu]] 13:37, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

Arbitrary, they're just placeholders for the actual, untransliteratable symbols. You could have 1-4 if you wanted.[[User:Green Zubat|Green Zubat]] 08:07, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

== Symbols. ==

How about adding them to the article? Anyone feeling up to printscreening or caligraphing them into a list? [[User:PLA|PLA]] 15:23, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

::::Using pictures of the unidentified symbols in the translation instead of (3)-(6) would be a good idea, yes. (And is there any reason 3-6 were used instead of 1-4? Unless there were two other symbols before those four or some reason for them to be associated with those numbers, it makes more sense to start from one with them, right?) [[User:Yamiidenryuu|Yamiidenryuu]] 00:22, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

Well, when I originally added the message I also added the symbols (along with how they relate to the cipher) but the picture - despite being fair use, I believe - was removed by a mod, so make of that what you will. It'll be in the history, if you feel like restoring it. And as I said above, the choice of placeholder was apparently abitrary[[User:Green Zubat|Green Zubat]] 08:12, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

== The Interchangeable ③ and ④? ==

"The positions of two of the unknown symbols—denoted by placeholders ③ and ④ below—swap positions between Pokémon Black and White."

On both my Black and White versions (UK), the symbols are identical. On both versions, the bottom left panel reads "④ joined King in a day." The top left panel reads "King defeated ③ alone."

I've checked with two friends who own both versions of Black and White (again, both UK) and the panels all read the same; there is no difference between versions.

Perhaps only the USA/Japanese versions have 3 and 4 differ between versions? [[User:Therion|Therion]] 14:33, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

== Relation to N ==

Considering the fact that many of the pillars seem to describe N (especially on floors three and four) or some sort of relation to him, and the fact that the numbers corresponding to the corners one turns are prime numbers (which is related to N in his mathematical intelligence and is also acknowledged in composition of his music), the "king" mentioned in the pillars all over are most likely a prophecy of N's doings, something an ancestor has done, or some other concept related directly to N. Just bringing up the idea, feel free to discuss, refute, add some of this to the article, or not add it to the article. [[User:Namadu|Namadu]] ([[User talk:Namadu|talk]]) 23:00, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

: I believe it is fairly clear that N is a descendant of the Abyssal Ruins king. One of the translated passages says, "King talks to all beings," which would obviously include Pokémon. If you talk to Zinzolin in BW2 after exploring the ruins, he says, "If that king has descendants, maybe those special powers were passed down..." Concordia furthermore indicates that N's ability to talk to Pokémon was something he possessed at birth, rather than being something he learned by living with them. Add it all together (no pun intended), and it seems fairly obvious N is implied to be that king's descendant. [[User:Silmina|Silmina]] ([[User talk:Silmina|talk]]) 14:33, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

== Misinterpretation Regarding the Anime ==
The temple explored in the recent Meloetta two-parter is called ''Underwater Temple'' in Japanese as opposed to ''Underwater Ruins''. More importantly, it has nothing in common with the Abyssal Ruins aside from being located underwater in the vicinity of Undella Town. To say that they are one and the same is even more inaccurate than saying that [[Mistralton Tower]] is just another name for [[Celestial Tower]]. -[[User:Unown Lord|Unown Lord]] ([[User talk:Unown Lord|talk]])

== Map in Black 2 / White 2 ==
It appears that the map between B1W1 and B2W2 is the same, from what I've done in my copy of White 2. Items are the same and in the exact same locations. Would like to have somebody confirm, but this appears to be the case from what I've seen. [[User:Sir VG|Sir VG]] ([[User talk:Sir VG|talk]]) 11:18, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
:Yeah, it's definitely the same. I've checked and all the item placement and stuff are the same between the games. [[User:Torpoleon|Torpoleon]] ([[User talk:Torpoleon|talk]]) 18:56, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

==Translator==
In B2W2 Zinzolin gives you some of Ghetsis's papers so you can translate the characters on the walls. Where should this fact, and the translations, be put in the article?

:: >_< Just curious, what version do you have? I do see that there is at least one mistake in my reply above. --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 16:38, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
::: I have White 2. Arceus can't be in the last space because, as I noted, it is eight characters long. If the theory I heard is correct and the King is N's distant ancestor, the last blank could fill in all eight spaces with "Harmonia". Odd as that may be. --[[User:Alxprit|Alxprit]] ([[User talk:Alxprit|talk]]) 17:14, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
::::Yep, that was one of the mistakes. Harmonia could be it due to the connection to the word. In any case, this might take several languages of the games to figure it out. (Mostly since the spaces should differ between languages which would remove several choices. --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 21:10, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

== Symbols ==

I'm getting the symbol's images. Is there an image naming thing I should do? --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 16:13, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
:Gave up on that...anyway, our {{de|Unterwasserruine#Antike Schriftzeichen|German counterpart}} has all the symbols. What are the proper channels to ask if we can use them? --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 02:57, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
::I have all the symbols from within the Abyssal Ruins. Do we want all of the symbols or just the symbols that need to have for the placeholders? [[User:Adamws|Adamws]] ([[User talk:Adamws|talk]]) 05:26, 8 October 2014 (UTC)
:::It'd probably be better to just have four images, one for the whole message on each floor, rather than one for every individual character. The individual characters are kind of trivial, IMO. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 12:07, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

== Reshiram/Zekrom Symbol Meaning?==

Has no one ever thought up that because the symbols switch between versions, they represent the legendary Pokémon, considering it states "King defeated __ alone." and "__ joined King in a day." {{unsigned|Pipproductionco}}
:It has been thought of countless times, but it still remains nothing more than speculation. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 04:24, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

== Proof? ==

Where is proof that the symbols actually switch between versions? I have played white and white2, and watched about 30 videos on youtube in different languages, none of them shows the symbols swapped. --[[User:Izumiya ichihara|Izumiya ichihara]] ([[User talk:Izumiya ichihara|talk]]) 18:04, 9 September 2017 (UTC)

Pikachu210: /* incompatible Pokémon */ new section

Greengiant, I put the games for a reason so people would know what games they are in. Yes I know they can click on the Gen links but trust me it looked better the way I had it. Thanks for linking the moves, though. Also, you didn't need to get rid of the Move Tutors link I had. Don't overedit.[[User:LedianX|LedianX]] 00:56, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Chris, with all due respect, I don't believe he's overediting. The names of the games are redundant with respect to what generation they're found in. So long as you link to the generation, a user can figure out the games in it. [[User:Evkl|Evkl]] 01:18, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I think I know what you're saying with how the differences between FireRed and LeafGreen can confuse things so you wanted to clarify. I didn't notice that before, but I think now that there might be a simpler way to say it, I'm just not sure how. I also didn't mean to remove the Move Tutors link, sorry about that. -[[User:Greengiant|Greengiant]]

Just a thought - perhaps, for organizational purposes, we should turn the three lists into one big chart? --[[User:Pie|Pie]] 19:47, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

== potrayal ==

I really think the artical should include info on the looks of TMs, from the box thingys from the TCG to the modern disk shape (I also seem to recall them appearing in special as something else entirely). --[[User:Deuxhero|Deuxhero]] 06:20, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
:I distinctly remember a Pokémon manga where they appeared as boxes (in a simpler style than the TCG ones, which came later). --[[User:DarkfireTaimatsu|DarkfireTaimatsu]] 20:26, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
::acctualy, thinking about, I'm not exactly sure it was special. --[[User:Deuxhero|Deuxhero]] 06:01, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
:::I think it was seen used against the Eevee Brothers, which would make it the Electric Tale of Pikachu manga... Eevee learned... Mimic, was it? Let it copy Jolteon's move, I think. --[[User:DarkfireTaimatsu|DarkfireTaimatsu]] 06:55, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

== TM Pages ==
For TMs that have not changed their move from generation to generation, I've begun changing the articles, since they aren't really referential to the move itself. The current format is ''TMs vary between generations. However, TMXX is (move) in every generation to date.'' -- I have switched this to ''TMXX has contained the move (MOVE) in every generation to date.'', because I feel the note that TMs vary between generations is both superfluous and misleading if the TM in question hasn't varied between generations. That statement would be better suited for this article. [[User:Evkl|evkl]] 18:35, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

In the trivia section, is it worth noting that these moves have been both TM and HM moves at some point? -- [[User:Nebula|Nebula]] 00:18, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

we were talking about it in the main page and [[User:The_dark_lord_trombonator]] told us to take it here instead; the list we have so far is: Caterpie, Metapod, Weedle, Kakuna, Magikarp, Ditto, Unown, Wobbuffet, Wurmple, Silcoon, Cascoon, Wynaut, Burmy, Combee and Kricketot, Beldum and Smeargle

== TMs that (almost) everything can use ==

We already have a list of Pokemon that can't use any TMs. On the opposite end of things, should we have a list of TMs that *every* Pokemon can learn? (Minus those that can't use any of them and a few specific others, of course.)

I've actually put together a list for this. I'm pretty sure I've got everything.
*TM03 [gen II]: Curse
*TM06: Toxic

*TM13 [gen II]: Snore
*TM17 [since gen II]: Protect (except for Regigigas)

Bringing this up once again... will we eventually do something related to TMs and HMs for the Mystery Dungeon series?

== Gen VI Pokémon Move Compatibility ==

So, as I was seeing if I could update some TM move pages for Gen VI games, I noticed something incredibly useful. While in Cassius's PC, if you choose the "Organize Boxes" option, there's a little magnifying glass icon at the bottom. This allows you to search for Pokémon in your boxes that fulfill certain criteria. One of these criteria is "TMs & HMs". To quote the game, "You can check whether Pokémon can use the selected TM or HM." So, I'm going to run through the Pokémon that I have and try to update any TM/HM move pages that need some Gen VI love. However, I don't own even all of the Kalos Pokémon yet, much less the rest (some of which will have to wait until the Pokémon Bank launches next month anyway). So, if anyone wants to further edit the pages with their own Pokémon collection, feel free to do so. I just figured I'd let everyone know that they've made it amazingly easy to determine this compatibility in X and Y.

Why does attract count as near-universal? In USUM, 120 Pokemon can't learn attract. All the other near-universal TMs in USUM are not learned by no more than 29 Pokemon. [[User:Sumwun|sumwun]] ([[User talk:Sumwun|talk]]) 18:11, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
:My idea is: Being an universal TM is not a "real" information that is specified in the pokemon franchise, but more of a trivia how we present the data. We can do it either as list which Pokemon learn a TM or that it's a near universal TM and list all the exceptions. It depends on which is easier to read and being understood.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket Grunt]] ([[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Report To Me]])''' 19:58, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

:::::::::::I'll try to make it more precise: ''"A TM move is considered near universal, if there are less than X Pokemon that can't learn this move that aren't TM incompatible or have reasonable explanation for move to interfere with this Pokemon specifications."'' Current specifications are as follows:
:::::::::::* genderless Pokemon or ones that evolve into such - ''Attract and Captivite''
:::::::::::* Pyukumuku which doesn't learn offensive moves - ''Facade, Frustration, Hidden Power, Return and Round''
:::::::::::* Regigigas that can't remove its ability - ''Rest and Protect''
:::::::::::* Komala that is supposed to be sleeping constantly - ''Rest''
:::::::::::All the rest cases: Attract (5), Confide (2), Double Team (3), Double-Edge (8), Facade (8), Rest (5), Round (2), Sleep Talk (1 because Spinda has been fixed), Swagger (6) and Toxic (1).

:::::::::::::Team Rocket Grunt: That's a good way to sort the "near universal TM" moves. Having 9 being the highest number for Pokemon that can't learn a TM for one reason or another is a reasonable number, not as arbitrary or random as 17.
:::::::::::::sumwun: Not sure why you're so hellbent on removing Attract and Captivate from the list. The "reasonable explanation" clause is important, because like with Pokémon that can't learn TMs, you shouldn't be counting them for specific moves.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:12, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
::::::::::::::Of the moves on the list, attract and captivate are the least learned by a significant amount. Keeping them there kind of "ruins the purpose" of the list. I'm not sure why you're so determined to keep them.
::::::::::::::If the "reasonable explanation" clause exists primarily to exclude Pokemon that can't learn TMs, why can't we just replace "have a reasonable explanation" with "can't learn TMs"? That would be a lot simpler and easier to interpret. [[User:Sumwun|sumwun]] ([[User talk:Sumwun|talk]]) 14:49, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
:::::::::::::::That's what the "reasonable explanation" is for. So that "significant amount" becomes "a small amount". You missed the point for the "reasonable explanation" clause.

== incompatible Pokémon ==

how should this be defined now? remember, certain Pokémon on the list are only compatible with 1 TM, but that TM is not in their level-up moveset. These are Caterpie, Metapod, Magikarp, and Applin. [[User:Pikachu210|Pikachu210]] ([[User talk:Pikachu210|talk]]) 02:23, 23 December 2019 (UTC)
