This is a list of '''references to Pokémon in popular culture''', instances where television shows, music and video clips, or other non-[[Pokémon]] media explicitly mention the Pokémon franchise (or even a specific {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}). This list includes only ''notable'' references, where they must either refer to specific details of the Pokémon franchise, or else play an important role in the work making the reference. The following list is divided by the medium of the work, then sorted alphabetically by the name of the work making the reference.

References that simply mention the Pokémon franchise, use a Pokémon catchphrase, or have a Pokémon character or item briefly appear in the background or as a visual gag are listed separately on the [[list of background references to Pokémon]]. They are also distinct from parodies, which are listed separately on the [[list of Pokémon parodies]]. This list also excludes mere resemblances between character designs, non-fiction shows mentioning the existence of Pokémon, or news shows discussing Pokémon-related news, as well as game show questions about Pokémon.

* A ''{{wp|Mother Goose and Grimm}}'' [http://www.grimmy.com/images/MGG_Archive/MGG_2014/MGG-2014-05-31.gif comic strip from May 31, 2014] featured a pair of Pikachu. It portrayed how the species got its name in a satirical manner.
* In a ''{{wp|Zits}}'' [http://comicskingdom.com/zits/2015-05-22 comic from May 22, 2015], Jeremy asks his mother if she has seen his [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|Pokémon cards]] and freaks out when she said she threw them out years ago.

In this story, {{wp|Huey, Dewey, and Louie}} become fascinated by a new franchise called Battle Beasties that is the hit of the moment. Like Pokémon, this franchise includes video games, trading cards, and a TV show. They later discover that creatures are real and accidentally end up freeing them all over {{wp|Donald Duck universe#Duckburg|Duckburg}}. The story received a sequel on April 17, 2001, called ''[https://inducks.org/story.php?c=D+2000-084&search= Kampen om kræene]'' (''Battle for the Battle Beasties'' in the English version).

In some translations, including Italian and Portuguese, the creatures are referred to by titles more similar to Pokémon, like Kukemon and Bobomon.
* A Donald Duck comic written by Knut Nærum and drawn by Arild Midthun, first published on June 2, 2017, in Denmark as ''[https://inducks.org/story.php?c=D+2016-306 Byen i boblen]'' (''The Duck in the Bubble'' in the English version), features a mobile game based on [[Pokémon GO]] that's taken Duckburg by storm. Various elements of the game, such as {{stat|Combat Power}}, are referenced in the story. At the end of the story, when Donald inadvertently ends up saving Duckburg from being struck by a giant meteor, a crowd celebrates their hero by singing an altered version of the [[Pokémon Theme]].
* In ''{{wp|Monica and Friends}}'', Pokémon is parodied in several stories, such as:
** One of the stories is ''Pequemônica'' (Globo's Mônica #163, 2000), where the characters find an alien box similar to a {{i|Poké Ball}}, from which they release several monsters belonging to two alien villains that looks similar to [[Ash Ketchum]], and the characters end up being transformed into little monsters with powers.
**In the story ''O Poquemão'' (Globo's Cebolinha #164, 2000), Frank sees two boys playing with dolls that resemble {{p|Wigglytuff}} and {{p|Pikachu}}. He then forces Bug-a-Booo to take on a form similar to Pikachu and tries to show him off to the other children. Throughout the story, other children appear with dolls similar to {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Pidgey}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, {{p|Clefairy}}, {{p|Zubat}}, {{p|Dratini}}, and {{p|Poliwag}}.
**In the story ''Pokecão'' (Globo's Mônica #167, 2000), the character Glu is hit by a ray that gets stuck in his tail making him look similar to Pikachu (referred to as Picachuchu by the characters) which leads the MSP writers (who are fans of the "Pokecão" series) to take his side. At one point the writers appear dressed as {{p|Cubone}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Psyduck}}. Near the end of the story two dogs similar to [[Jessie]] and [[James]] and members of the "Equipe Raquete" (Team Racket) appear even throwing a "Poc Bola" at Glu. At the end, Blu appears wearing an outfit similar to Red's.
**In the story ''Poquequem?'' (Third series of Panini's Chico Bento #12, 2022), a trainer similar to Ash Ketchum captures Tim Turtle, mistaking him for a Squirtle (referred to as Isquirtou) that was running away from him. Later Tim is put in a "Poquemão" battle against a {{p|Charizard}} and during the battle the trainer makes Tim evolve into a Blastoise. At the end of the story, Mr. Zig Zag's children are seen with a cell phone making reference to [[Pokémon GO]].

====Manga====
* Mangaka {{wp|Ume Aoki}} frequently represents herself in her works as "Ume-sensei", a crude chibi representation of herself dressed as a {{p|Metapod}}. Ume-sensei most notably appears in Aoki's famed manga ''{{wp|Hidamari Sketch}}''.
* In Chapter 980 of the {{wp|One Piece}} manga series, Eustass Kid is seen attacking Scratchmen Apoo with a large arm made of scrap metal. Two {{p|Meltan}} can be seen embedded in Kid's mechanical arm. In Chapter 981, a Meltan is seen on Eustass Kid's shoulder.
* In Chapter 350 of the manga series {{wp|Komi Can't Communicate}}, a cellphone saleswoman offers Komi the God Phone, which resembles the [[Arc Phone]] from [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].
* In Chapter 242 of the manga series {{wp|Jujutsu Kaisen}}, Kenjaku picks up a defibrillator and shouts {{tt|「君に決めた！」|”Kimi ni kimeta!”}} ("Defibrillator, I choose you!") before using it to electrocute Fumihiko Takaba, who shouts {{tt|「やな感じ！」|”Yana kanji!”}} ("This feels bad!"). This references when Ash would send Team Rocket "[[blasting off]]" in {{aniseries|PTS}}, although this reference was lost in the official {{wp|Viz Media}} translation of the chapter.
* In Volume 5, Chapter 1 of the ''{{wp|Sword Art Online}}'' light novel series, when discussing possible ways for someone to shoot a bullet in virtual reality and kill someone else in real life, Kirito mentions an instance in which animation effects in an [[EP038|episode]] of a certain {{aniseries|PTS|anime}} caused children across Japan to become sick. This reference was not retained in Episode 1 of the anime adaptation's second season, which directly adapts the chapter.

====Web videos====
* ''{{wp|Death Battle}}'' has six battles featuring Pokémon:
** The first was [[Ash's Pikachu]] vs. {{wp|Blanka}}. Blanka was declared the winner due to his self-taught survival skills, electric resistance, and his greater strength and size compared to Pikachu giving him an edge over Pikachu's {{t|Electric}} typing and reliance on a Trainer.<ref>[http://www.screwattack.com/shows/originals/death-battle/death-battle-pikachu-vs-blanka Death Battle: Pikachu vs. Blanka]</ref>

** In [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGixUd6jjs4 TERRORISMO] (English: ''TERRORISM''), Sub-Lieutenant Braga was ordered to safely dispose of a bag that might contain a bomb, while Commander Peçanha was giving instructions on the phone. However, at some point the Commander ordered him to open the {{wp|Pokémon GO}} game and search for a Pikachu instead of disposing the bomb. Sub-Lieutenant Braga was not interested in playing the game, but was ordered to do so. It was also said that catching Pikachu was needed to so they could have more Pokémon than 22th Batallion of Pilates. A {{p|Dragonite}} spawned, so the Commander Peçanha instructed him to catch it without letting other people know about it, and further explained that Sub-Lieutenant Braga should use a [[Razz Berry]], throw an [[Ultra Ball]] and shout "[[Gotta catch 'em all!]]". At the end, a Sergeant from the Pilates Battalion quickly appeared and caught the Dragonite, so Peçanha ordered Braga to use "{{m|Thunder Shock}}", meaning that Braga should shoot that Sergeant. In the post-credits scene, a real terrorist appeared with bombs, but the Sergeant talked with him in a friendly manner and told him to go explode elsewhere because that's the location of his [[Gym]].
** In [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8e5P09K-Vw SACRIFÍCIO] (English: ''SACRIFICE''), some devil worshipers wanted to sacrifice a virgin man. The victim said that he is not virgin, but the devil worshipers argued that only virgins play {{wp|Pokémon GO}}. The man further said that he was only trying to catch the Holiday Pikachu.
* In the third installment of SamBakZa's ''{{wp|There She Is!!}}'' series, the character Doki chases and tries various methods of capturing a fleeing Nabi. When all of her attempts fail, she uses a [[Poké Ball]], throwing it at Nabi's head and knocking him down.

'''Zoroark''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゾロアーク''' ''Zoroark'') is a {{type|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Zorua}} starting at [[level]] 30.

In [[Hisui]], Zoroark has a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Ghost}} [[regional form]]. It evolves from Hisuian Zorua starting at level 30.

Both it and Zorua were the first [[Generation V]] Pokémon to be revealed to the public on February 10, 2010. Zoroark initially debuted as a silhouette before being revealed in full.

==Biology==
Zoroark is a bipedal, slate gray, fox-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with crimson and black accents. It has a pointed snout and ears with red insides. It also has some red rimming its eyes and mouth. Zoroark has a large, red, voluminous mane with black tips, tied into a ponytail, as a teal bangle down its length separates a mass of the mane from the lower portion. It has a black ruff on its upper body, pointed at the shoulders from which its arms extend. Its upper arms are thin, whereas its lower arms, while still slim, are bulkier. The arms have spiky extensions of fur at the elbows, and it has red claws on its hands and feet. Zoroark's eyes are red-rimmed with light blue irises.

Zoroark can create illusions that are indistinguishable from reality, deluding many people simultaneously. It can even create illusory landscapes in the forests where it dwells, to hide its territory and protect its den. However, Zoroark is incapable of physically changing itself into another form; it is merely capable of casting illusions. When a Zoroark takes the form of a human, it is capable of human speech. It can make convincing illusions of attacks, and these illusions are extremely realistic, enough to fool even cameras and make one believe they're being physically affected, though the illusion does not have any direct physical effect. Lonely {{pkmn|Trainer}}s tend to use Zoroark to create illusions in order to ease their own burden of solitude. There are stories of Zoroark punishing people who tried to capture it with illusions.

Zoroark lives in groups, where unity is strong. It is extremely protective of those it cares about and will go to any lengths to keep them safe, including risking its own life, and it can hold grudges on those who harm its loved ones. Zoroark will hide its Zorua young in its mane to protect them and carry them around. There are stories that say Zoroark punishes those who attempt to catch it by trapping them in an illusion. Prior to [[Generation VII]] and in [[Generation IX]], {{m|Night Daze}} is its [[signature move]].

In the [[Hisui]] region, Zoroark takes on a drastic ghostly appearance due to dying from the harsh conditions and being reborn through spite. Its main body color is now disheveled with light gray with red and white accents. Hisuian Zoroark's head and face are similar to its Unova counterpart but colored gray. It has gray ears with black insides and two white markings on both sides of the face. The ears also have light red split parts. The long mane has changed into a longer mane that is colored white with the ends of each tips being colored light and dark red, while covering the right side of Zoroark's face. The arms and legs have several red spots and light red fur that dangles around. The claws and toes of Zoroark are colored black. The eyes are now red with yellow sclera.

As a result of its appearance, Hisuian Zoroark was said to resemble an embodiment of death. The illusions channeled through Hisuian Zoroark's long withering fur are full of spite. Uniquely, this spiteful illusion can cause physical harm to its opponent on both the inside and outside. This power comes from the hatred it has for every living thing in the world. Hisuian Zoroark's illusion malice is powerful enough to drive anyone who sees it to insanity due to their terror. Hisuian Zoroark recklessly attacks its foes or nemeses, to the point its own bitter energy can cause physical harm onto itself. Despite its extremely hostile and aggressive nature to everything, Hisuian Zoroark can be compassionate to those it cares about, however, such as Hisuian Zorua, and it will become an invaluable ally once someone earns its trust.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/zoroark/ Hisuian Zoroark | Pokémon Legends: Arceus Official Website]</ref> Hisuian Zoroark prefers to reside in the cold areas where it lingers onto. Like its Unova counterpart, Hisuian Zoroark can make its illusion of humans talking, to the point of easily fooling anyone in order to get food.

Hisuian Zoroark and Zorua are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Bitter Malice}}.

'''PAL''': ''This Dark-type Pokémon is a powerful illusionist, and uses its power to confuse any that would threaten its home and loved ones. When it uses its Fury Swipes attack, it vanishes, then reappears next to an opponent and sends them flying into the air. It then slashes at them furiously before slamming them into the ground.''

[[File:PSGEN5.png|thumb|Zoroark's silhouette on [[Pokémon Sunday]]]]
[[File:Zoroark Yellow Battle Chess.png|thumb|Zoroark in Pokémon Battle Chess]]
* {{p|Zorua}}, Zoroark, and their Hisuian forms were designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]].<ref>[https://funs-project.com/poplab/007/index_2.html Fun's Project interview with Atsuko Nishida]</ref><ref>[https://www.instagram.com/p/CZR0ngKvAfy/ Instagram post by Atsuko Nishida]</ref>
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Hisuian Zoroark and its pre-evolution.
** Hisuian Zorua and Zoroark are also the only Pokémon immune to both of their types.
* Zoroark was first revealed by [[Junichi Masuda]] as a silhouette in the February 7, 2010 edition of [[Pokémon Sunday]]. Its full image was later revealed in the March 2010 issue of [[CoroCoro]], alongside its pre-evolved form {{p|Zorua}}.
* Due to its debut before [[Generation V]] in ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'', it can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Lucario}}, which debuted in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', prior to the release of [[Generation IV]]. Unlike Lucario, however, Zoroark was revealed at the same time as its pre-evolved form.
** They both share the same names in Japanese and English versions of the game, have the same [[List of Pokémon by gender ratio|Gender ratio]], are in the {{egg3|Field}} and need [[:Category:Pokémon in the Medium Slow experience group|1,059,860 Exp.]] to reach level 100.
* Though evolving from Zorua at level 30, pre-release information from CoroCoro suggested it would evolve from Zorua by a method different from known evolution methods. What this method might have been if it was true is unknown.
* Zoroark and its pre-evolution Zorua are the only non-Mythical Pokémon to have been [[event]]-exclusive for a time, prior to the release of {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}.
* Zoroark appears in {{DL|Pokémon Battle Chess|Pokémon Battle Chess BW Version}}. Along with {{p|Emboar}}, Zoroark doesn't behave similarly to any traditional piece in chess.
* In [[Generation IX]], Unovan Zoroark is unable to learn {{m|Encore}} via [[TM]] while its pre-evolution can.

===Origin===
Zoroark appears to be based on the ''{{wp|kitsune}}'' of Japanese folklore, a shape-shifting mythical {{wp|fox}} that would trick unsuspecting travelers for fun. Its facial markings may draw from ''{{wp|Kabuki}}'' and ''{{wp|Noh}}'' theater makeup. It also resembles a {{wp|werewolf}}, due to the fact that it is an anthropomorphic {{wp|Canidae|canid}}, like most werewolves. According to [[Ken Sugimori]], Zoroark's large mane is supposed to be a stand-in for its lack of a tail.<ref>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 201, January 2011 ([http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-3/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref>

Hisuian Zoroark may draw inspiration from {{wp|vengeful ghost}}s and {{wp|revenant}}s. Its coloration may be based on kitsune masks. The red portions on its arms and legs resemble frostbite sores.

====Name origin====
Zoroark may be a combination of ''zorro'' (Spanish for ''fox'') and ''dark'', 悪 ''aku'' (evil), or ''arch-'' (prefix for "top" or "chief").

Unshō Ishizuka

Pikatwig: /* Major */

[[File:Unsho Ishizuka.jpg|thumb|200px|Unshō Ishizuka]]
'''Unshō Ishizuka''' (Japanese: '''石塚運昇''' May 16, 1951 – August 13, 2018) was a Japanese voice actor for the [[Pokémon anime]].

==Biography==
Ishizuka was born on May 16, 1951, in {{wp|Katsuyama, Fukui}}, {{wp|Japan}}. He became a voice actor in 1984, becoming known for his deep, strong voice, which led to him being typecast as older and more mature male characters. His most notable roles in the Pokémon anime are that of {{an|Professor Oak}} and the unseen [[narrator]]. He died on August 13, 2018, of esophageal cancer. However, he managed to record his parts for episodes all the way to October. Following his death, archive audio for Ishizuka has been used for [[Sophocles's Charjabug]], {{DL|Toucannon's flock|Toucannon}}, and {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Bulu}}. His prerecorded narration was featured posthumously in [[M22]].

The '''Pokémon League''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンリーグ''' ''Pokémon League'') of [[Paldea]] is the location of the [[region]]'s [[Elite Four]] and {{pkmn|Champion|Top Champion}}, who may only be challenged by the {{player}} after defeating all eight Paldea [[Gym Leader]]s. It is located on a hill next to [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}} and connected to [[Mesagoza]] in the southeast.

==Geography==
The Pokémon League is located on a grassy hill that can be accessed from [[Mesagoza]] without meeting any requirements. However, the player is not allowed the enter the League building itself with less than eight [[Badge|Gym Badges]]. A [[Pokémon Center]] stands outside the League building.

==Structure==
Paldea's Pokémon League is where Trainers who have earned eight Gyms Badges come to take on the Champion Assessment test. Those who pass it are granted the Champion Rank, making them official Champions.

===Entrance room===
The entrance room is where [[Rika]] conducts an interview with the player as the first part of the Champion Assessment test. Once Rika has declared that the player has passed, they can enter the next room.

===Elite Four room===
For the second part of the Champion Assessment test, the player must battle and defeat the Elite Four in a set order. After all four members have been defeated, the player's [[party|team]] is fully healed, their [[Tera Orb]] is recharged, and they're given access to the rooftop.

Terastal phenomenon

2023-01-11T05:49:49Z

Pikatwig: /* Effects */

[[File:Terastal phenomenon.png|thumb|250px|Artwork of the Terastal phenomenon]]
[[File:Terastal Pikachu artwork.png|thumb|250px|Terastallized [[Pikachu (Pokémon)|Pikachu]] with Flying-type Tera Jewel]]
The '''Terastal phenomenon''' (Japanese: '''テラスタル''' ''Terastal'') is a temporary transformation affecting Pokémon that was introduced in [[Generation IX]]. This transformation gives the Pokémon a gem-like appearance along with changing into the exclusive '''Tera Type''' (Japanese: '''テラスタイプ''' ''Teras-Type'').

==History==
{{spoilers}}
There is a lot of mystery surrounding the Terastal phenomenon and why it only happens in Paldea. [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}} was known to be researching this mysterious transformation.<ref name=Terastal/>

The Terastal phenomenon was first discovered 140 years ago in [[Area Zero]] along with Terastallized Pokémon. However, attempts to remove Terastallized Pokémon from the crater caused the light to disappear. Further details of the Terastal phenomenon thus remained unclear for a while.

10 years before the events of [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], the game's professor started to solve the mystery. The professor discovered the energy emitted from shining crystals in Area Zero is what triggered the Terastal phenomenon. The [[Tera Orb]]s were then created by the professor from the Terastal energy located in Area Zero. [[Clavell]] helped support the research on it. This allowed people to Terastallize their Pokémon outside of Area Zero. The Tera Orb was then shared to the [[Paldea League]] and [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}}.

At some point, the Terastal energy was used by the professor to create a time machine, bringing in [[Paradox Pokémon]] from the ancient past{{sup/9|S}}/distant future{{sup/9|V}}, including a pair of {{p|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}}.

The crystalline petals of {{p|Glimmora}} seem to resemble the Tera Jewels that appear during the Terastal phenomenon. It is unknown if there is a connection between Glimmora and the Terastal phenomenon, though many of them (along with its pre-evolution, {{p|Glimmet}}) can be found in Area Zero, the place where the phenomenon originated.

The Scarlet Book/Violet Book makes cryptic hints that it may be linked to an unknown Pokémon resembling a disk made of layers of overlapping hexagons, but the truth of this has yet to be confirmed. A book in research station 1 further implies its existence and relationship to the phenomenon. The book reads, "We've determined that this energy crystallization is linked to the being we call ██████. The interlocking hexagonal plates that comprise ██████'s shell must somehow cause this phenomenon-which I've dubbed "Terastallizing"."

==Effects==
{{pkmn|Trainer}}s who obtain a [[Tera Orb]] are able to use it to Terastallize their Pokémon, which makes a Tera Jewel appear above the Pokémon's head, causes the Pokémon's body to glisten like gems, and changes the Pokémon's [[type]](s) to its Tera Type, removing all other types. Terastallized Pokémon are identified by having "Tera" in front of their name. The phenomenon is only found in [[Paldea]], apparently due to the Terastal energy seeping from the ground of the region.<ref name=Terastal>(August 3, 2022). "[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/terastal_phenomenon/ Pokémon Shine and Glimmer Like Gems Thanks to the Terastal Phenomenon]." Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet Official Website</ref>

While Terastallized, Pokémon receive [[STAB]] on moves matching their Tera Type, in addition to moves matching the type(s) they had immediately before Terastallizing. If the Pokémon's Tera Type is the same as one of its original types, moves of that type receive an ×2 power boost instead of the usual ×1.5.<ref name=Terastal/> During this time, {{a|Adaptability}} only works for the Tera Type (with ×1.5 becoming ×2 and ×2 becoming ×2.25). Additionally, moves of the Tera Type that have [[base power]] below 60 but are not a [[multi-strike move]] or an increased [[priority]] move are stealthily boosted to 60BP; this is checked for after {{a|Technician}}'s boost.<ref>https://twitter.com/skittyve/status/1599911349764571137</ref> Pokémon can only have one Tera Type. The move {{m|Tera Blast}} changes type to the Pokémon's innate Tera Type upon Terastallization.<ref>(August 21, 2022). "[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/master_terastal/ Master Using the Terastal Phenomenon in Battle!]" Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet Official Website</ref> Terastallized Pokémon cannot have their type changed from moves and Abilities such as {{m|Soak}}, {{m|Double Shock}}, and {{a|Protean}}. A Pokémon using {{m|Transform}} will not copy its opponent's Tera Type and instead keep its own. Additionally, if a Pokémon Terastallizes and then uses Transform, they will appear to lose their Tera Jewel but retain the crystalline body texture.

After beating the [[Medali Gym]], the player can change their Pokémon's Tera Type at the [[Treasure Eatery]] by exchanging 50 [[Tera Shard]]s of a given type with the chef.

The Terastal phenomenon lasts until the battle ends or the Terastallized Pokémon faints. After being used once, the Tera Orb loses all its Terastal energy and has to be recharged by either touching crystals containing Terastal energy or visiting a [[Pokémon Center]].<ref name=Terastal/>

==Catching Tera Pokémon==
Normal wild Pokémon found in Paldea typically have a Tera Type that matches one of their normal types. This Tera Type does not reflect their potential evolutions and cannot be passed down through {{pkmn|breeding}}. For example, a {{p|Charcadet}} will always have a {{t|Fire}} Tera Type. Typically, there are only two ways to obtain a wild Tera Pokémon with unique typing: either catch a wild Tera Pokémon scattered around Paldea, or participate in a [[Tera Raid Battle]]. These Pokémon may know [[TM]] [[move]]s that match this set Tera Type.

===Wild Tera Pokémon===
There are precisely 68 wild Tera Pokémon scattered around Paldea, the majority with unique Tera Types. They can be found in fixed locations and typically have Tera Types different from their base types, the sole exceptions being the eight [[Eeveelutions]], who have Tera Types that match their base types. The wild Tera Pokémon are indicated by a bright glow emitting from their bodies, and when battled against, will immediately Terastallize. Wild Tera Pokémon cannot be caught while Terastallized until after they lose their Terastallization, which will happen after sustaining a certain amount of damage from attacks. Once this threshold is reached, the damage the Pokémon has taken will be capped until they lose their Terastallization.

===Tera Raid Battle===
[[Tera Raid Battle]]s occurs typically at random in locations all over Paldea. These locations are indicated on the map, and in the overworld are indicated by a large, colored "shining crystal", with a beam of sparkling lights shooting into the sky.

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon has the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] as Lokix.

===Origin===
Lokix appears to be based on a {{wp|grasshopper}}, particularly those of the {{wp|locust}} variety, which are notably larger than other grasshopper varieties and have a swarming phase. It also seems to be based on the Japanese {{wp|tokusatsu}} superhero franchise ''{{wp|Kamen Rider}}''. The first Kamen Rider, Kamen Rider #1, famously had a grasshopper motif, and he, as well as all subsequent primary Riders, finished off enemies with the signature Rider Kick attack, which appears to be parallel to Lokix's kicking abilities. Lokix's black coloration particularly brings to mind the protagonists of ''{{wp|Kamen Rider Black}}'' and/or ''{{wp|Kamen Rider Black RX}}'', who both wore black suits and also had grasshopper motifs. The shiny coloration, being a neon yellow with red eyes, brings to mind ''{{wp|Kamen Rider Zero-One}}'', who also had a grasshopper motif.

====Name origin====
Lokix may be a combination of ''locust'' and ''kicks''.

Exleg may be a combination of ''extreme'' and ''leg''.

{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}}
'''Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu!''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター Let's Go! ピカチュウ''' ''Pocket Monsters: Let's Go! Pikachu'') and '''Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター Let's Go! イーブイ''' ''Pocket Monsters: Let's Go! {{tt|Eievui|Eevee}}'') are the third and final pair of [[core series]] games<ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/game/ Official Japanese Pokémon site]: 『ポケットモンスター』シリーズのみ表示する filter</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20200420161310/https://www.pokemon.co.jp/game/title/series/ Official Japanese Pokémon site] (archive)</ref> of [[Generation VII]]. They are remakes of the 1998 [[Generation I]] game {{game|Yellow}}. The games were released on the [[Nintendo Switch]]. The games take place in the [[Kanto]] [[region]], and are the second of two remakes taking place in Kanto, following [[Generation III]] games {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} in 2004.

The games were announced worldwide on May 30, 2018, at the [[Pokémon Press Conference|Pokémon 2018 Video Game Press Conference]] in Tokyo, Japan.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/huge-pokemon-news-revealed-in-tokyo/ Huge Pokémon News Revealed in Tokyo | Pokemon.com]</ref><ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/pokemon-creators-share-more-details-on-upcoming-games/ Pokémon Creators Share More Details on Upcoming Games | Pokemon.com]</ref> The paired versions were released worldwide on November 16, 2018. All copies of the game are playable in nine languages: Japanese, English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Korean, and Simplified and Traditional Chinese.

==Plot==
The games are set in the [[region]] of [[Kanto]], with {{p|Pikachu}} available in Let's Go, Pikachu! and {{p|Eevee}} available in Let's Go, Eevee! as a [[starter Pokémon]]. The {{player}} encounters [[Team Rocket]] and has the opportunity to meet two all-new {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} through the use of [[Pokémon GO]].
{{spoilers}}
While looking for [[Professor Oak]] who had called both of them to his laboratory, the player tries to leave town, only for Oak to catch up to him steps into {{rt|1|Kanto}}'s grassy path. Warning the player about the dangers of walking in [[tall grass]] without a Pokémon, Oak himself encounters wild Pikachu/Eevee and the player catches it, before leading the player to his laboratory, where he allows the player to take the single {{i|Poké Ball}} containing the Pikachu/Eevee the player caught earlier. The [[rival]] {{ga|Trace}} takes Eevee in Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pikachu in Let's Go, Eevee!. Trace challenges the player to a {{pkmn|battle}}.

After the battle, Oak allows the two new Trainers to leave for their {{pkmn|journey}} across Kanto. The player's Pikachu/Eevee breaks out of their Poké Ball and [[Walking Pokémon|starts following the player on foot]]. Stopping in [[Viridian City]]'s [[Poké Mart]], the player will find that a [[Parcel|package]] has come in for the professor, and the clerk asks that it be delivered to him. After this has been completed the professor gives one [[Pokédex]] to the player and one to the rival, and sends them on their way. Viridian City has a Gym; however, it is locked.

From here, the player has his first encounter with other Trainers, on {{rt|2|Kanto}} and in [[Viridian Forest]], and his first encounter with a [[Gym Leader]]: [[Brock]] the {{type|Rock}} Gym Leader of [[Pewter City]]. After his defeat, journeying along {{rt|3|Kanto}} and through [[Mt. Moon]] brings the player face to face with the regional [[villainous team]], Team Rocket, who are attempting to extract rare [[Fossil]]s from the cave. Their defeat allows the player to continue through the cave and obtain the [[Dome Fossil]] or [[Helix Fossil]] which can be regenerated into {{p|Kabuto}} and {{p|Omanyte}}. Before the player leaves the cave, he is ambushed by two Team Rocket grunts, [[Jessie]] and [[James]], who try to take the fossil back. Continuing onto {{rt|4|Kanto}}, the player finds himself in [[Cerulean City]], where another [[Gym]] is. This one, however, is run by [[Misty]], and specializes in {{type|Water}} Pokémon. To the north, as well, there are two [[route]]s leading up to [[Bill]]'s [[Sea Cottage]]. On the way, the player is confronted with a trainer who tries to persuade him to join Team Rocket. When the player reaches Bill's Sea Cottage and frees him of his transformation into a Pokémon, he will give the player an [[S.S. Ticket]] for the [[S.S. Anne]], a luxury ship moored in {{ci|Vermilion}} Harbor and filled with Trainers. Taking a shortcut through a house burglarized by Team Rocket, the player finally arrives at {{rt|5|Kanto}}.

After traveling down Routes 5 and {{rtn|6|Kanto}}, using the {{OBP|Underground Path|Kanto Routes 5–6}} to bypass [[Saffron City]], the player finally arrives in Vermilion City. This city is home to another Pokémon Gym; however, the way to it is blocked by a small tree. The only thing to do is to show the ticket to the {{tc|Sailor}} guarding the harbor, allowing entry into the S.S. Anne. It is here, after assisting the captain with his seasickness, that the player will obtain the [[Secret Technique]] Chop Down. With this, the tree blocking the way to Vermilion Gym can be easily chopped down, and [[Lt. Surge]], a Gym Leader specializing in {{t|Electric}} types, can be challenged. From here, {{rt|11|Kanto}} beckons, as does [[Diglett's Cave]], through which is the only way to get back to {{rt|2|Kanto}}, and a second Secret Technique Light Up held by one of [[Professor Oak]]'s aides on Route 2. The player takes a brief detour to Pewter City's museum's back entrance which was previously blocked due to a Cut-able tree, which can now easily be bypassed. The player obtains the [[Old Amber]] in the museum. Heading back to Diglett's Cave, and to Vermilion, the player must go to Cerulean and to the east, onto {{rt|9|Kanto}} and towards the [[Rock Tunnel]].

Rock Tunnel, a still undeveloped natural tunnel between the sections of {{rt|10|Kanto}}, is pitch black inside; for this reason, the Secret Technique Light Up is recommended, but not required, for navigation of it. Finally reaching [[Lavender Town]], the only town in Kanto without a Pokémon Gym besides Pallet, there is not much to do; the local [[Pokémon Tower]] is haunted. From here, {{rt|8|Kanto}} leads to Saffron City, but it again must be bypassed by way of another {{OBP|Underground Path|Kanto Routes 7–8}}, which has its other entrance on {{rt|7|Kanto}}, on the west side of Saffron. [[Celadon City]], the home of the fourth Gym which specializes in {{type|Grass}} Pokémon, is just a short walk further. Like the Vermilion Gym, the Celadon Gym also has a small tree blocking the way to its entrance, and an old man outside.

The [[Celadon Game Corner|Rocket Game Corner]] in Celadon is not what it appears to be. In fact, the Game Corner itself is merely the above-ground portion of a sprawling underground complex: the [[Team Rocket Hideout]]. The player runs into Jessie and James for a second time and then meets the Team Rocket boss, [[Giovanni]], who gives the player a [[Silph Scope]] after being defeated. A Silph Scope is required to fully navigate the Pokémon Tower inside of Lavender Town that the player encountered earlier.

After this, the Pokémon Tower can be navigated, and the ghosts haunting it are revealed to be {{p|Gastly}} and {{p|Haunter}}. In front of the stairs to the final floor, blocking the way, is also a final spirit, that of a deceased {{OBP|Marowak|ghost}} that was killed by Team Rocket when they captured her child. Making it all the way to the top reveals [[Mr. Fuji]], who is attacked by Jessie and James. The Rocket duo will leave when they are defeated, and Fuji gives away the [[Poké Flute]], and with that, the {{p|Snorlax}} blocking {{rt|11|Kanto}} and {{rt|16|Kanto}} can finally be moved away.

Now the player is presented with a choice of how to get to [[Fuchsia City]]. Traveling down either way the Snorlax are blocking, a faster way via Routes [[Kanto Route 16|16]], {{rtn|17|Kanto}}, and {{rtn|18|Kanto}} on [[Kanto Route 17]], or down the Routes {{rtn|12|Kanto}}, {{rtn|13|Kanto}}, {{rtn|14|Kanto}}, and {{rtn|15|Kanto}}, inevitably brings one to the southernmost city in continental Kanto, [[Fuchsia City]], home of [[Koga]] of the {{t|Poison}}ous Fuchsia Gym and the [[GO Park]].

The player then goes back to either Celadon City or Lavender Town, encountering the other Snorlax on the way back. After encountering Brock in Celadon City and receiving some [[Tea]] from him, Saffron City can finally be entered. However, Team Rocket is guarding almost every door in the city, including that of the local Pokémon Gym! One of the open buildings, however, is the unofficial {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon Gym. After the player defeats the [[Fighting Dojo]], he is entitled to either a {{p|Hitmonchan}} or a {{p|Hitmonlee}}. The city's centerpiece building, [[Silph Co.]]'s headquarters, has also been infiltrated by the organization, and at the top, waiting in the boardroom guarded by Jessie and James, is the Team Rocket Boss, Giovanni, appearing for a second time, demanding that the president give him the [[Master Ball]] that the company had developed. After his defeat, he flees.

After Team Rocket clears out of [[Saffron City]], all buildings previously blocked are now open, as well as the Gym. The Gym Leader, [[Sabrina]], specializes in {{t|Psychic}} types. The floor, as well, is covered in warp tiles that make it difficult to navigate. After Sabrina's defeat, the player makes his way back to Fuchsia City again and heads out to obtain the rest of the Badges.

With six Badges in hand, finally the player can adventure onto the open sea of Routes {{rtn|19|Kanto}} and {{rtn|20|Kanto}}. A short way across them, of course, is a minor obstacle: the [[Seafoam Islands]]. After they have been navigated through, the player can continue on Route 20 to [[Cinnabar Island]], home of [[Blaine]]'s {{type|Fire}} Gym. There are also several more facilities on the island, including one that actually revives Pokémon [[Fossil]]s. After Blaine's defeat, only the final Gym, that of Viridian City, remains.

Finally unlocked, the Viridian Gym, whose leader specializes in {{t|Ground}} types, is revealed to be none other than the boss of Team Rocket himself, Giovanni! After his defeat, he vows to disband Team Rocket and disappears. Now with eight Badges, all that lies ahead is the [[Pokémon League]] at [[Indigo Plateau]], conveniently at the end of {{rt|23|Kanto}}.

The [[Elite Four]] await challengers, those who have proven themselves worthy by getting all eight Badges and making it through {{ka|Victory Road}} will face them, in order. [[Lorelei]], who [[Pokémon training|trains]] {{type|Ice}} Pokémon is first, followed by [[Bruno]], whose specialty is Fighting, [[Agatha]], whose specialty is {{t|Ghost}}, and finally [[Lance]], who specializes in {{t|Dragon}} types. After defeating these four, the reigning [[Pokémon Champion]] challenges the player to a final battle, and the Champion is none other than the player's own rival, Trace! After his defeat, Oak arrives, and the player's current [[party]] is added to the [[Hall of Fame]].

After the credits roll, the player is back in Pallet Town. The previously closed [[Cerulean Cave]] is now open, and the powerful {{p|Mewtwo}} can be found inside. [[Master Trainer]]s, 153 Trainers who each specialize in a different species of Pokémon from Generation I, plus {{p|Meltan}} and {{p|Melmetal}}, can now be encountered in various locations across the Kanto region.

This game connects to Pokémon GO and Poké Ball Plus.

==Features==
* The [[starter Pokémon]] in this game, {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|game}}, {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Eevee}}, have higher [[base stats]] compared to the regular ones, in addition of having all-perfect 31 {{IV}}s. Their gender can be determined by the title screen during the start of the game. Unlike the regular Eevee, which does not have any [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]], the female starter Eevee has a unique [[Variant Pokémon#Eevee|heart-shaped pattern]] around the tip of their tail.
* Pikachu, like in all [[core series]] games since {{g|X and Y}}, is voiced by [[Ikue Ohtani]], while Eevee is voiced by [[Aoi Yūki]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/project_eevee/status/1017403291334897664 @project_eevee (Twitter)]</ref>
* The {{DL|Nintendo Switch|Joy-Con|Joy-Con}} is used to {{pkmn2|Caught|catch}} Pokémon by flicking one's wrist in a throwing motion, similar to the method in [[Pokémon GO]]. While in handheld mode, [[wild Pokémon]] are caught by aiming the [[Poké Ball]] with motion controls. Wild Pokémon, except for interactive Pokémon, can no longer be battled in a traditional sense, but NPC {{pkmn|Trainer}}s can be battled as normal.
* Two-player simultaneous play feature, which can be done by sharing one of the Joy-Con controllers. Both players can adventure at the same time and one of them may lend a hand by joining in battles against NPC Trainers. This feature also increases the chances of [[caught Pokémon|catching Pokémon]] successfully by throwing Poké Balls together at the wild Pokémon.
* An accessory called the [[Poké Ball Plus]] can be used to catch Pokémon in place of a Joy-Con. Like the [[Pokéwalker]], a Pokémon can be taken on the go and be interacted with for rewards when returned to the game. It also contains the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Mew}}, a special Pokémon that cannot be obtained by normal gameplay.
* The introduction of two new Mythical Pokémon: {{p|Meltan}} and its evolved form, {{p|Melmetal}}.
* Once the player has become the {{pkmn|Champion}}, [[Master Trainer]]s will appear and can be found scattered throughout the [[Kanto]] [[region]]. They are considered the strongest {{pkmn|Trainer}}s for every Pokémon species in [[Generation I]] and can be spotted by the icon of the Pokémon they favor above their heads. In these battles, the player is allowed to use only a single Pokémon, of the trainer's preferred species; and any [[medicine]]s are prohibited.

===Returning features===
* The eight [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Kanto]] and their [[Badge]]s, as well as the [[Elite Four]] of the [[Indigo Plateau]], return.
** The [[rematch]] battle of all Gym Leaders, the Elite Four, and the {{pkmn|Champion}} after entering the [[Hall of Fame]], also return.
* [[Team Rocket]] returns, including [[Team Rocket trio|the trio]] from the {{pkmn|anime}} series, [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}. Unlike in their game debut {{game|Yellow}}, Jessie and James engage the {{player}} in [[Double Battle]]s.
* The [[starter Pokémon]] have similar traits to the {{game|Yellow}}. In this case, starter {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Eevee}}, unlike ones found in the wild, prefer to be out of its {{i|Poké Ball}} and have no interest in [[evolution|evolving]].
** The starter Pikachu and Eevee also react differently near the hidden [[item]]s by wagging their own tail.
* A feature that allows the player to pet a Pokémon similarly to [[Pokémon-Amie]] and [[Pokémon Refresh]], can be called by pressing "Play with Pikachu/Eevee" on the [[menu]]. However, this feature is limited to the starter Pikachu and Eevee.
* Any {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that the player has in their party can [[Walking Pokémon|follow them]] outside their [[Poké Ball]]s, as well as their action and reaction depending on the environment, like they did in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. However, the Pokémon that walks outside of its Poké Ball can now be chosen out of the party.
** Certain Pokémon appear to be ridden in the certain locations instead of following the player. These Pokémon include {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Persian}} (Kantonian form only), {{p|Machamp}}, {{p|Arcanine}}, {{p|Rapidash}}, {{p|Dodrio}}, {{p|Haunter}}, {{p|Onix}}, {{p|Rhyhorn}}, {{p|Rhydon}}, {{p|Kangaskhan}}, {{p|Starmie}}, {{p|Tauros}}, {{p|Gyarados}}, {{p|Lapras}}, {{p|Aerodactyl}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, and {{p|Dragonite}}.
*** Only Gyarados and Lapras cannot appear outside unless they are in the sea.
*** After entering the [[Hall of Fame]] for the first time, Charizard, Aerodactyl, and Dragonite can be ridden across the Kanto region; they cannot enter the secluded places, however. This allows the player to encounter and catch the [[wild Pokémon]] in the sky.
* [[Mega Evolution]]s of {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} ({{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Beedrill}}, {{p|Pidgeot}}, {{p|Alakazam}}, {{p|Slowbro}}, {{p|Gengar}}, {{p|Kangaskhan}}, {{p|Pinsir}}, {{p|Gyarados}}, {{p|Aerodactyl}}, and {{p|Mewtwo}}), as well as their corresponding [[Mega Stone]]s, return. As Pokémon are no longer able to [[held item|hold]] an item, Mega Stones can be activated in the [[Bag]] instead. Only Mega Stones belonging to [[Kanto]] starter Pokémon can be obtained prior entering the [[Hall of Fame]].

===Changes from Generations I and III===
====Gameplay====
* The games are no longer backwards compatible with any other main series games, unlike every other main series game released since {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
* In addition to [[Trainer customization|customizing]] the {{player}}'s skin color and clothing, the starter Pokémon can also be dressed in different outfits and be given different accessories and hairstyles.
* [[Wild Pokémon]] now appear on the overworld. Coming into contact with one will engage them. They may appear with either a red or blue aura, which indicates their size, either being larger or smaller, respectively, than their own standard size.
** [[Shiny Pokémon]] in the wild will also appear so in the overworld.
** A feature called the [[Catch Combo]] tracks how many of the same species of Pokémon is caught in a row without the Pokémon running away or the game turning off. The higher the combo, the stronger and rarer wild Pokémon become, and Shiny Pokémon become more common.
* Several features from past core games have been removed, including: the [[time|day and night cycle]], several [[move]]s (including all [[Z-Move]]s and [[weather]]), {{Abilities}}, several [[item]]s, [[held item]]s, {{pkmn|breeding}}, and {{pkmn|Egg}}s.
** Moves that were {{cat|Generation I moves|introduced in Generation I}} are all available in the games, along with a smaller selection of moves from later generations. ''For more information, see [[list of moves by availability (Generation VII)]].''
** Abilities were found in the game's code, but were unused.
** The only available [[Poké Ball]]s that were not introduced in Generation I are [[Premier Ball]] and [[Cherish Ball]].
** A Premier Ball can be obtained as a gift for every 10 Poké Balls (of any kind) purchased at the [[Poké Mart]].
* {{m|Teleport}} has been given a different effect. {{m|Mega Drain}}, {{m|Giga Drain}}, {{m|Solar Beam}}, and {{m|Sky Attack}} also had their powers significantly increased.
* Calculations for [[Statistic|stats]] have been changed, allowing for Pokémon to reach much higher stat ceilings than in previous core games.
** [[Effort values]] (EVs) have been replaced by [[awakening values]] (AVs), which can be raised by feeding specific [[Candy]].
** High [[friendship]] can boost all stats by up to 10%, before adding in AVs.
* The [[Bicycle]] has been removed; the [[Miracle Cycle]] shop in [[Cerulean City]] is replaced with the home of a Bike Maniac who collects many kinds of bikes.
** Cycling Road is redesigned as the "Pokémon Road"; some of the {{tc|Biker}}s (now {{tc|Punk Guy}}s) and {{tc|Roughneck}}s that used to challenge the player there have been moved to near the Secret House instead.
* [[Candy]] can be used to increase the {{AV}}s of Pokémon, and is obtained from capturing or transferring Pokémon to Professor Oak, similar to the Candy from [[Pokémon GO]].
* The [[Pokémon Box Link|Pokémon Box]], accessible from the [[Bag]], replaces [[PC]]s, allowing players to switch the Pokémon in their [[party]] at any point in the game.
* The player can no longer play mini-games on the machines in the [[Celadon Game Corner]] because the service desk has run out of [[coin]]s. However, there are certain spots where the hidden items such as [[Bottle Cap]]s are recurring once per day in the Game Corner.
* The {{safari|Kanto}} in [[Fuchsia City]] replaces the zoo, and has added the [[GO Park]], where the player is able to interact with their caught Pokémon. Similar to the Box system in the [[Pokémon Storage System]], the GO Park complex has a total of 20 GO Parks, with each capable of holding 50 Pokémon. Thus, the player can transfer up to 1,000 Pokémon into the games.
** If the player has gathered 25 of the same species of Pokémon, they can play a minigame in the Park's Play Yard for [[Candy]]. Alolan forms are counted as a separate species, listed in red.
* Exclusive new [[move]]s are available for the starter Pikachu and Eevee. Pikachu can learn {{m|Zippy Zap}}, {{m|Splishy Splash}} and {{m|Floaty Fall}}, while Eevee can learn {{m|Bouncy Bubble}}, {{m|Buzzy Buzz}}, {{m|Sizzly Slide}}, {{m|Glitzy Glow}}, {{m|Baddy Bad}}, {{m|Sappy Seed}}, {{m|Freezy Frost}} and {{m|Sparkly Swirl}}. These moves can be learned from a [[Move Tutor]] in the [[Pokémon Center]]s of [[Cerulean City]], [[Celadon City]], and [[Fuchsia City]].
** The starter Pikachu and Eevee can activate their own [[Partner Pokémon (game)|partner powers]] in battle once they have high enough [[friendship]]. If activated while they are in battle, they use an exclusive move—{{m|Pika Papow}} or {{m|Veevee Volley}}—which increases in damage based on friendship. If activated while they are not in battle, they boost the stats of the current Pokémon.
* [[TM]]s have been reordered and readded with some moves previously available via Move Tutor. The amount of TM moves available also have been decreased compared to previous core series games.
* [[HM]] moves have been replaced by [[Secret Technique]]s, which the starter Pikachu and Eevee can use in the overworld, but which do not take up move slots. These include Chop Down for {{m|Cut}}, Sea Skim for {{m|Surf}}, and Sky Dash for {{m|Fly}}.
* Interactive Pokémon such as {{p|Electrode}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, and [[Legendary Pokémon]] can be battled, but they must be defeated to be captured. A five-minute time limit is in effect for the battle. If the timer hits 0, the battle ends abruptly. Hitting the Home button or putting the console in sleep mode does not pause the timer.
** Electrode disguised as items are now white on top and red at the bottom, just like real Electrode.
** Both Snorlax are battled with either an Attack or Defense stat boost, while all the Legendary Pokémon have all their stats increased, similar to [[Totem Pokémon]].
** All the interactive Pokémon are guaranteed at least 3 perfect {{IV}}s.
* The [[legendary birds]] ({{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}}) can be encountered as the [[wild Pokémon]] in the sky after beating the {{pkmn|Champion}} for the first time.
** Legendary Pokémon encountered this way are treated as regular wild Pokémon, so they do not have to be battled before being caught, can [[Escape|flee]], and are not guaranteed to have any perfect IVs.

====Story====
{{spoilers}}
* The game features entirely new {{player|protagonists}}, {{ga|Chase}} and {{ga|Elaine}}, instead of {{ga|Red}}, and the role of {{ga|Blue}} is replaced with a new friendly [[rival]], {{ga|Trace}}.
* The player and their rival receive their [[Pokédex]] along with their [[starter Pokémon]] and no longer battle until returning to [[Professor Oak]] to deliver [[Parcel|his parcel]]. The player also receives some [[Razz Berry|Razz Berries]] from Professor Oak instead of some {{i|Poké Ball}}s.
* The [[Team Rocket trio]] appears early at [[Viridian City]], where they replace the {{ka|old man}} as the obstacle keeping the player from progressing to {{rt|2|Kanto}}. They later can be found in the Pokémon Road in {{rt|17|Kanto}} after the disbandment of Team Rocket.
** Unlike in {{game|Yellow}}, {{MTR|Team Rocket's Meowth}} no longer battles.
* [[Mina]], a {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon Trainer from [[Alola]], is visiting Kanto and can be found in the [[Vermilion City|Vermilion Port]].
* [[Lorelei]] appears early during the {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}'s raid near the Pokémon Center on {{rt|10|Kanto}}.
* After killing the {{p|Cubone}}'s mother in [[Lavender Town]], {{TRT}} kidnaps Cubone and takes it back to the [[Team Rocket Hideout]]. They also push away the Team Rocket Grunt blocking access to [[Silph Co.]] Cubone is later adopted into Trace's team after being rescued.
* Instead of battling the [[Marowak (ghost)|ghost of Cubone's mother]], she is calmed by the presence of her child, Cubone, and then departs. This is very similar to what happens in [[Pokémon Origins]].
* [[Archer]], a Team Rocket {{tc|Executive}} who was introduced in [[Generation II]] and given a name in [[Generation IV]], appears during the story.
* The player meets Red, Blue, and, for the first time as a [[non-player character]], {{ga|Green}} over the course of their adventure.
** Red only appears in the [[Indigo Plateau]] outside of the Pokémon League after the player beats at least six [[Master Trainer]]s.
** Blue appears early in the [[Pewter City]] and later in the Silph Co. during the raid of Team Rocket. Similar to the storyline prior to [[Generation II]], Blue takes over as the Gym Leader of [[Viridian Gym]] after the player beats the {{pkmn|Champion}}.
** Green can be found in [[Cerulean Cave]], searching for {{p|Mewtwo}}, and later reappears in [[Cerulean City]].
*{{p|Moltres}} is back on [[Victory Road (Kanto)|Victory Road]], just like in Generation I.

====Music====
*Like in Generation III, all [[Elite Four]] members share the Gym battle music instead of the Trainer battle music.

====Pokémon====
* The games feature all of the {{cat|Generation I Pokémon|151 Pokémon}} of [[Generation I]], as well as the new [[Mythical Pokémon]] Meltan and its evolution Melmetal. Players can also import the [[Regional form#Alolan Form|Alolan forms]] of these {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} from [[Pokémon GO]] or receive them from [[in-game trade]]s repeatedly.

=====[[Version-exclusive Pokémon]]=====
The Version-exclusive {{ga|Partner Pokémon|Partner}} the player starts with cannot be traded to other games or stored in {{g|HOME}}. While a single {{p|Persian}} is obtainable in Let's Go, Pikachu!, and a single {{p|Arcanine}} is obtainable in Let's Go, Eevee! through an NPC, they are not obtainable as wild Pokémon in those respective games.

==Compatibility==
{{incomplete|section}}
The games are compatible with any number of [[Pokémon GO]] accounts through {{wp|Bluetooth Low Energy|Bluetooth LE}}. Players can send [[Generation I]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and their {{rf|Alolan|Form}}s, as well as {{p|Meltan}} and {{p|Melmetal}}, from their phone to the games where they will appear in [[GO Park]]. Pokémon that are one-time or event-only in GO cannot be transferred, such as {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Pikachu}} with various event hats, and {{p|Squirtle}} with sunglasses.

Each time a Pokémon is transferred from Pokémon GO to the Nintendo Switch, the Pokémon GO account will be awarded 100 [[Trainer level|experience]] and one [[candy]] corresponding to each Pokémon transferred. Transferring a Pokémon from Pokémon GO to the Switch for the first time also gives the GO account a [[Mystery Box]], which can be opened once every three (originally seven) days to spawn wild {{p|Meltan}}. Each time before the box can be opened, a Pokémon transfer must be made from Pokémon GO to the Nintendo Switch.

Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! can connect with [[Pokémon HOME]]. Users of HOME can transfer Pokémon freely between other Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! savefiles on the console, even if the files belong to different profiles. Through the mobile version of HOME, players can trade those Pokémon through the [[Global Trade System|GTS]] and Wonder Box, features not found in the games themselves. They can also take those stored Pokémon through a one-way transfer to {{g|Sword and Shield}}, provided they are Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Galar Pokédex number|Galar Pokédex]], with [[List of Pokémon by Galar Pokédex number#Other Pokémon|a few exceptions]]. The player cannot store their {{ga|Partner Pokémon}} or Pokémon in their party.

===[[Save data bonus]]es===
Save data for Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! unlocks bonuses in later [[Nintendo Switch]] games. These are the only Pokémon games for which certain games (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Pokémon Sword and Shield) have received separate bonuses from the two versions. Both games have since effectively removed the need to have both Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! to obtain all of the bonus content, as they have been updated with other means to obtain the content.
* [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]: Let's Go, Pikachu! save data unlocks the Partner Pikachu spirit, and Let's Go, Eevee! save data unlocks the Partner Eevee spirit. Since Ver. 2.0.0, both are obtainable from the Spirit Board without a save data bonus.
* {{g|Sword and Shield}}: A Pikachu and/or Eevee with the [[Gigantamax#Gigantamax Factor|Gigantamax Factor]] is received at the [[Meetup Spot]], depending on which versions the player has save data for. This is no longer the only permanent way to obtain a Gigantamax Pikachu or Eevee, as [[The Isle of Armor]] expansion makes the Gigantamax Factor available for other Pikachu and Eevee using [[Max Soup]].
* {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}: The [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Mew}} is available as a [[gift Pokémon]] in [[Floaroma Town]]. This is currently the most reliable way to obtain Mew.
* {{g|Legends: Arceus}}: The player receives exclusive clothing: Pikachu Festival Mask and Eevee Festival Mask.

==Music==
{{main|Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! & Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! Super Music Collection}}
The game's music was arranged by [[Shota Kageyama]]<ref>[https://twitter.com/shotakageyama/status/1019868658376425472/ Shota Kageyama's Twitter] </ref> and composed by [[Junichi Masuda]] for [[Pokémon Red and Green]], with a handful of exceptions. It should be noted that many of his rearrangements are clearly based off existing arrangements by [[Go Ichinose]] for [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]].

* New tracks such as '''Into the Game: Let's Go!''', '''Choose Your Language''', and '''Catch! (Wild Pokémon)''' were composed by Kageyama.
* '''Mystery Gift''' was originally composed by [[Hitomi Sato]] for [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]].
* '''Cubone's Mother''' was originally composed by Ichinose, Masuda, and Kageyama for [[Pokémon Gold and Silver]]'s rendition of [[Lavender Town]]'s theme.

==Trivia==
[[File:Let's Go Pocket Monsters Pikachu.png|thumb|200px|Professor Oak's introduction in Japanese Pokémon Yellow]]
* The term "Let's Go!" (Japanese: レッツゴー!) may be a reference to [[Pokémon GO]] and the end phrase of [[Professor Oak]]'s introduction in the Japanese and English versions of the [[Generation I]] [[core series]] games.
* The Japanese title of Pokémon: Let's Go Pikachu (ポケットモンスター Let's Go! ピカチュウ ''Pocket Monsters: Let's Go! Pikachu'') is formed by adding "Let's Go!" to the Japanese title of {{game|Yellow}} (ポケットモンスター　ピカチュウ ''Pocket Monsters: Pikachu'').
** Due to the change of Japanese "Pocket Monsters: Pikachu" to English "Pokémon Yellow", the game title "Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu!" is not a longer version of any previous English game title. It shares this distinction with [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Pokémon LeafGreen]] (a remake of [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Green]], which is a game title used in Japanese but not in English).
** Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! is the first game [[remake]] whose title is not a longer version of the remade game title in any language.
* These are the first core series games:
** To be released exclusively on a home console.
*** They are also the first since {{game|Emerald}} to be playable on a home console in any form. While the core series games of Generations I through {{gen|III}} were released for handheld platforms, they could also be played on Nintendo's home consoles of the time through various peripherals.
** In which not every Pokémon revealed at the time is programmed into the games.
** To have a decreased amount of [[TM]]s available compared to past games.
** To not have any [[Battle facility|battle facilities]] since {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}.
** To not be compatible with previous core series titles in any way since {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, and as such, the first to be unable to trade with other core series games in their generation.
** To be compatible with [[Pokémon GO]].
** To not feature the [[Global Trade System|GTS]], a day-and-night cycle, or use two screens since {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
** To not feature [[Wonder Trade]] since {{g|X and Y}}.
** To not feature {{pkmn|breeding}} since {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}.
** To not feature {{Abilities}} since {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}.
** To not be compatible with the [[Pokémon Global Link]] since {{game|Black and White|s}}.
** To only have regional Pokémon in the main storyline since {{game|Black and White|s}}.
** In which every Pokémon in the [[regional Pokédex]] (excluding [[Mythical Pokémon]]) can be either seen or obtained without any [[trade|trading]] or events since {{game|Platinum}}.
** To not have a [[PC]].
*** As the [[Pokémon Box]] can be accessed from the player's [[bag]], this is the only core series game in which the player can change their Pokémon [[party]] between battles while facing the Elite Four.
** To not use different designs between the two versions for the ''Pocket Monsters'' (ポケットモンスター) part of the Japanese logo since {{game|Red and Green|s}}.
** To natively support multiple save files per game, thanks to the Nintendo Switch managing save files by profile and cartridges no longer being used to store save files.
** To feature the name of the mascot in the English title.
** To not have a [[Pokémon Adventures]] chapter named after it.
** To have [[Master Ball]]s repeatedly obtainable without relying on extreme luck.
* These games mark the first time that an {{cat|upper versions|upper version}} has been [[remake|remade]].
* As revealed in an interview with [[Junichi Masuda]], the reason Eevee was chosen as a game mascot alongside Pikachu was because of all of the fanart Eevee has gotten.<ref>[https://www.theverge.com/2018/5/30/17384582/pokemon-lets-go-eevee-pikachu-fan-art-nintendo-switch Eevee’s starring role in Pokémon: Let’s Go was inspired by fan art - The Verge]</ref>
** Masuda also revealed that {{p|Psyduck}} was considered for the role instead of Eevee, but was not chosen because it was the same color as Pikachu.
* These are the first core series remakes to introduce brand-new Pokémon.
* Like in {{game|Yellow}}, {{p|Ekans}}, {{p|Koffing}}, and {{p|Meowth}} and their evolutionary relatives are not found in the wild in Let's Go, Pikachu!. These three Pokémon are commonly associated with {{TRT}} in the [[original series]]. To compensate, {{p|Mankey}}, {{p|Grimer}}, and their relatives are exclusive to Let's Go, Pikachu!, a reference to two Pokémon {{Ash}} caught in the original series, {{AP|Primeape}} and {{AP|Muk}}.
* The button prompts that appear in menus on the lower-right match colors with the buttons on a [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super Nintendo]]'s controller as they appear in the Japanese and PAL regions.
* These are the only core series games in Generation VII to:
** Not feature [[Z-Move]]s.
** Be playable exclusively on a system different from other core series games.
** Give the player a [[diploma]] upon completing the [[Pokédex]].
*** Of the core series games that give out diplomas, these are the only ones in which the design of the diploma differs between the two games.
* Of all of the core series games where {{ga|Red}} appears as a [[non-player character]], this is the first in which he does not have all three [[Kanto]] [[starter Pokémon]] on his team.
* These are the first Korean-language and Chinese-language core series games to start in Kanto.
** However, Kanto is accessible post-game in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, which were released in Korean.
* This is the last Pokémon game to be released in the {{wp|Heisei}} period.
* These are the last core series games to feature [[Mega Evolution]].

'''Sabrina's Haunter''' (Japanese: '''ナツメのゴースト''' ''Natsume's Ghost'') was a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that briefly accompanied {{Ash}} in [[Saffron City]], before being left with [[Sabrina]] in ''[[EP024|Haunter versus Kadabra]]''.

==In the anime==
[[File:Ash Haunter.png|left|thumb|220px|Haunter, Ash, and Pikachu]]
===History===
After Ash struggled to defeat [[Sabrina]], Sabrina's father told him that {{t|Ghost}} Pokémon would probably be able to defeat [[Sabrina]]'s {{t|Psychic}} minions and suggested going to the [[Pokémon Tower]] to find {{p|Gastly}}, Haunter, and {{p|Gengar}}. Ash found all three of them, but did not capture them. The Haunter that he befriended decided to follow him back to {{ci|Saffron}} though, at the end of ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]''.

In ''[[EP024|Haunter versus Kadabra]]'', Ash challenged Sabrina a second time, but Haunter abruptly disappeared. When Ash found it, Haunter disappeared once again, treating it all like fun and games. Haunter finally returns just as {{TP|Sabrina|Kadabra}} was about to defeat {{AP|Pikachu}} and proceeded to make Sabrina laugh. This made a connection to Sabrina's old self, unlocking her heart, and while she was immobilized by laughter at the Haunter's faces, her Kadabra, who was psychically linked with her, was immobilized as well. Ash and Haunter were subsequently given the {{badge|Marsh}}.

Haunter was later left with Sabrina at the [[Saffron Gym]], to keep her under control.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Sabrina and Haunter.png|thumb|220px|Haunter and Sabrina]]
Haunter has a mischievous and happy nature, tending to have fun and make people laugh more than battling, though this usually involves hurting or scaring people. It was also showing being very sensitive, becoming very depressed when Ash initially failed to get amused by its humor, not to mention feeling sad when Ash said that he had to leave.

* Haunter is the only one of the [[List of Pokémon temporarily owned by Ash Ketchum|non-temporary Pokémon owned by Ash]] that does not appear in the fantasy sequence in [[JN132]].

Pokémon Master

Pikatwig:

{{samename|mobile game|Pokémon Masters EX}}
[[File:Pokémon League.png|thumb|220px|A [[Pokémon League]] poster aimed at aspiring Pokémon Masters]]
'''Pokémon Master''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンマスター''' ''Pokémon Master'') is a title in the [[Pokémon world]]. It is the goal of many [[Pokémon Trainer]]s to become a Pokémon Master. However, exactly what this position is and how one attains it is vague and never fully explained.

In response to an email sent to its mailbag, [[Pokémon.com]] posted the following:

<blockquote>"I'm very sorry, but the Pokémon Company does not answer questions of this nature.
It is the intent of the Pokémon creators that such questions be left to the imaginations and interpretations of Pokémon fans, adding more excitement and mystery to the Pokémon universe."</blockquote>

In the {{pkmn|anime}}, {{Ash}} left [[Pallet Town]] and started his {{pkmn|journey}} with the goal of becoming a Pokémon Master. In his endeavors to achieve this goal, he has traveled across many [[region]]s and competed in their respective [[Pokémon League Conference]]s, though he has mentioned that being a {{pkmn|Champion|Pokémon League Champion}} is just one step towards becoming a Pokémon Master.

==Usage==
* In {{5v2|Red|Blue|Yellow|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, after defeating [[Lance]] he says "''I hate to admit it, but you are a POKéMON master!''".
* In {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, after defeating all the {{p|Electrode}} in the [[Team Rocket HQ]], Lance says "''The journey to becoming the Pokémon Master is long and difficult. Knowing that, will you keep going?''"
** In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, he instead says "''The journey to becoming the Pokémon Champion is long and difficult. Knowing that, will you keep going?''"
* [[Extreme Pokémon: The Guide for the Ultimate Fan]] calls [[Lorelei|Prima]] a Pokémon Master.
* [[The Official Pokémon Handbook]] states that a Trainer would deserve the title of Pokémon Master upon defeating or catching {{p|Mewtwo}}. The handbook also refers to the Elite Four members as "Master Trainers".
* According to [[A Sneak Peek at Pokémon]], one of the tasks to become a Pokémon Master is to [[Gotta catch 'em all!|catch all Pokémon]].
* The book ''[[Charizard, Go!]]'' states that a Pokémon Master must catch one of every kind of Pokémon and become a member of the [[Pokémon League]].
* According to [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga, a Pokémon Master is simply an elite Trainer who is considered a professional and regularly takes part in Pokémon League competitions.
* In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', Nurse Joy (while brainwashed) invites the Trainers to have a battle against the world's greatest Pokémon Master on [[New Island]], who is later revealed to be {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}.
* In ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', {{jo|Marina}} called [[Lance]] a great Pokémon Master.
* In his [[DP075|debut episode]], [[Wallace]] is called a Champion Master. Likewise in ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'', [[Cynthia]] is referred to as a Champion Master. Both of them are the last person to be battled at the {{DL|Pokémon League|Champion League}}. Champion Masters must defend their title against all opposing Trainers. In a sense, they are undefeated by any Trainer that has officially challenged them to claim their title. Ash states that becoming a Champion Master is one step toward becoming a Pokémon Master.
* In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], a group of 153 trainers who are referred to as Master Trainers are scattered across the region (145 of which can be battled), each specializing in a different Pokémon (the original 151 plus {{p|Meltan}} and {{p|Melmetal}}).
* In the lead up to the third anniversary of [[Pokémon Masters EX]], the official Twitter account for the game posed the question of what being a Pokémon Master meant, while also saying that trainers who go to [[Pasio]] to compete in the [[Pokémon Masters League]] could be considered as Pokémon Masters.<ref>https://twitter.com/PokemonMasters/status/1559616134600568832</ref>

==Theories==
{{fan speculation|section}}
* It has been theorized that when one becomes a [[Pokémon Champion]] of a regional [[Pokémon League]], one attains the title of Pokémon Master.
** This theory is supported by Lance calling the player a Pokémon Master upon his defeat in {{5v2|Red|Blue|Yellow|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, before revealing that the player must first face {{ga|Blue}} becoming Champion.
** It is implied in the dub of ''[[DP191|Memories Are Made Of Bliss!]]'' that this is the case. However, the Japanese version explicitly states that it is only one step to being a Pokémon Master.
** However, Ash won the [[Alola League]] and still does not consider himself a Pokémon Master.
* In a 2008 interview with the webmaster of [[PokéBeach]], [[Masamitsu Hidaka]] stated that when Ash becomes a Pokémon Master, it would be the last episode of the show.<ref>[https://www.pokebeach.com/2008/07/second-pokemon-interview-with-masamitsu-hidaka-many-interesting-points PokéBeach]: Second Interview with Masamitsu Hidaka – Many Interesting Points!</ref>
* It has been theorized that, in the context of the {{pkmn|anime}}, Pokémon Masters are the members of the [[Elite Four]].
** This theory is supported by the book [[Extreme Pokémon: The Guide for the Ultimate Fan]] calling [[Lorelei|Prima]] a Pokémon Master.
* After defeating [[Giovanni]] at [[Viridian Gym]], when he gives the player the {{Badge|Earth}} he says it is "evidence of your mastery as a Pokémon Trainer" which may imply that a Pokémon Master is one who has collected all of the [[Gym]] [[Badge]]s in a [[region]].
** Yet, in the context of the anime, this is not the case as Ash has collected all the Gym Badges in multiple regions and still does not consider himself a Pokémon Master.
* It has been theorized that one who is unbeatable in battle is considered a Pokémon Master.
** This was implied in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', where {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} referred to himself as a Pokémon Master, with him being the strongest being emphasized throughout the movie.
* [[The Official Pokémon Collector's Sticker Book]] implies that one is made a Pokémon Master by [[Gotta catch 'em all!|catching all Pokémon]].
** It has also been theorized that this, along with becoming a Pokémon Champion, is the criteria.
* In ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', [[Verity]] questions if being a Pokémon Master meant being the world's strongest Pokémon Trainer; {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}} replies that it is "much more than that".
** [[Goh]] asks Ash a similar question in ''[[JN006|Working My Way Back to Mew!]]'' and Ash gives a similar response.

'''Goh's Scizor''' (Japanese: '''ゴウのハッサム''' ''Go's Hassam'') is the twelfth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that [[Goh]] {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Kanto]] [[region]], and his thirteenth overall.

==In the anime==
===History===
[[File:Goh Scyther.png|thumb|left|250px|As a Scyther]]
{{p|Scizor}} debuted as a {{p|Scyther}} in ''[[JN006|Working My Way Back to Mew!]]'', where it was the last {{type|Bug}} Pokémon native to the [[Kanto]] [[region]] that [[Goh]] needed to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}}. It easily repelled Goh's {{i|Poké Ball}} and sent him and {{TP|Goh|Scorbunny}} flying. Later, Goh battled the [[Pokémon category|Mantis Pokémon]] briefly with his Scorbunny before finally catching it. Afterwards, it was seen with all of his other Pokémon before [[Professor Cerise]] suggested leaving it at his [[Cerise Laboratory|Laboratory]].

In ''[[JN007|Serving Up the Flute Cup!]]'', Goh used Scyther in his first [[Pokémon battle]] during the [[Battle Frontier Flute Cup]]. It battled [[Hodge]]'s {{p|Mightyena}}, where it used {{m|Swords Dance}} before quickly falling to Mightyena's {{m|Fire Fang}}.

In ''[[JN015|A Snow Day for Searching!]]'', Goh used Scyther alongside some of his other Bug Pokémon to find the bone of a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Cubone}}, which he later caught.

During a food shortage in ''[[JN023|Panic in the Park!]]'', Scyther led a group of Goh's Bug-type Pokémon during a rebellion; and they targeted {{TP|Goh|Darmanitan}}, {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Grimer}}, {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Ekans}}, and {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Stantler}}. When {{TP|Goh|Golurk}} lost control, Scyther protected Goh's three {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Dustox|Cascoon}}.
[[File:Castle of Chivalry Knight Medals.png|thumb|250px|Scyther and Goh with their Knight Medals]]
In ''[[JN056|Searching for Chivalry!]]'', Scyther volunteered for a training challenge hosted by [[Kalos]] [[Elite Four]] member [[Wikstrom]] at the [[Castle of Chivalry]], alongside {{Ash}} and his {{AP|Farfetch'd}}. In the first phase, the group is stopped by a {{p|Probopass}} belonging to the Elite trainer, with great difficulty the group manages to go through this round. In the second phase, Goh and Scyther enter a maze where they separate from the rest of the group. This time, the two have to collaborate while being attacked by Pokémon on the way.

In the final part of the challenge, Scyther battled against Wikstrom's {{p|Aegislash}}, until Ash and Goh decided to let Ash and Farfetch'd battle it, while Goh and Scyther attempted to catch Wikstrom's {{p|Klefki}}, which was carrying a key required to pass the challenge. They eventually succeeded, earning the participating Trainers and Pokémon one medal each. Afterward, Wikstrom offered to help Goh [[evolution|evolve]] his Scyther. Goh agreed to this, and Wikstrom gave Scyther a [[Metal Coat]] to hold before it was transferred through a [[trade machine]], causing the Mantis Pokémon to evolve into Scizor.

In ''[[JN060|Beyond Chivalry… Aiming to be a Leek Master!]]'', Goh used Scizor in a {{pkmn|training}} battle against Ash's {{p|Farfetch'd}}, during which it was shown to have learned {{m|X-Scissor}}. The battle ended without a proper victor as both Pokémon began tiring out and were subsequently taken to be healed at a [[Pokémon Center]].

In [[JN071]], Goh used Scizor to find an {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Ninetales}} as a part of his [[Project Mew]] qualification mission. Scizor alerted Ash and Goh when it found Ninetales and was subsequently used to battle the [[Pokémon category|Fox Pokémon]]. Despite having a type advantage, Scizor quickly ended up getting {{status|frozen}} by an {{m|Ice Beam}}, forcing Goh to recall it.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Goh and Scizor.png|thumb|left|250px|Scizor and Goh]]
[[File:Goh Scyther and Bug Pokemon.png|thumb|250px|As a Scyther, leading the other Pokémon in ''[[JN023|Panic in the Park!]]'']]
Scizor is a fast and powerful {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, thus Goh had the most trouble catching it out of all the other [[Kanto]]-native {{t|Bug}} types he went after. It is enthusiastic about battling and staying active. In ''[[JN007|Serving Up the Flute Cup!]]'', it followed [[Mimey]]'s kung-fu exercises and was later seen shadow-boxing in an effort to get Goh's attention to bring it to the [[Battle Frontier Flute Cup]]; in ''[[JN056|Searching for Chivalry!]]'', it rushed to Goh wanting to participate in the training challenge hosted by [[Wikstrom]]. Scizor is also shown to have a quick temper, as seen in ''[[JN015|A Snow Day for Searching!]]'' when Scyther began chasing a group of {{p|Geodude}} that threw snowballs at it. These behaviors particularly contrast with [[Goh's Pinsir]], who tried to avoid being selected for the Flute Cup and gets along with Goh's smaller Pokémon like {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Caterpie}}. However, despite its rough demeanor, Scyther enjoys a hug, as seen in ''[[JN011|Best Friend...Worst Nightmare!]]'', when it accepted one from [[Ash's Dragonite]].

After its capture, Scizor quickly became one of Goh's most used Pokémon, next to {{TP|Goh|Cinderace}}. Despite its strength and confidence, however, Goh and Scizor are not as in sync with each other compared to Cinderace, and Goh's cautious strategy in the first round of the Flute Cup led to Scyther's quick defeat. Scyther didn't appear too upset by the loss, returning from the [[Pokémon Center]] for another battle. Like Scorbunny, it seemed more concerned with how hard Goh was taking his first defeat. From ''Searching for Chivalry!'' onwards, Goh and Scyther are more aligned with each other, managing to pass the goals proposed by Wikstrom as a true team.

Scizor is protective of other Pokémon, as seen in ''[[JN023|Panic in the Park!]]'', when it shielded a group of Goh's {{t|Bug}} types from {{TP|Goh|Darmanitan}}'s attack. Scizor is also a natural leader, as demonstrated when it commanded Goh's other Bug-types to attack Darmanitan and its allies.

====[[Pokémon GO]]====
On November 6, 2020, as part of Pokémon GO's [https://pokemongo.nianticlabs.com/post/animationweek2020/?hl=en Animation Week 2020] event, which was based on ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', several Pokémon based on those that Ash and Goh encountered in the anime appeared more frequently in the wild, in [[Raid Battle|raids]], from 7 km [[List of Eggs in Pokémon GO|Eggs]], and during [[Photography#Pokémon GO|surprise encounters]], with Scyther appearing in the wild and in surprise encounters. The event ran from November 6, 2020, at 8:00 a.m., to November 12, 2020, at 10:00 p.m. local time.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Journeys: The Series===
Scyther first appeared in [[JNM03]]. As the events of its evolution were omitted in {{ma|Pokémon Journeys: The Series|the manga}}, Scyther appears already evolved in Scizor facing [[Ash's Farfetch'd]] in [[JNM18]].

==Trivia==
* Scizor is Goh's first {{type|Steel}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
* Scizor is Goh's first Pokémon to change one of its [[type]]s upon evolution.
* Scizor is the first Pokémon in the {{pkmn|anime}} to evolve while in its [[Poké Ball]].
* Scyther is referred to as male in the {{pmin|Brazil|Brazilian Portuguese}} [[dub]], being referred to as such since ''[[JN006|Working My Way Back to Mew!]]''.

List of clothing (anime)

2021-07-31T06:41:59Z

Pikatwig:

<div style="float: right; margin: 0 0 1.0em 1.0em;">__TOC__</div>
In the [[Pokémon anime]], while the main characters will generally wear a single outfit for several seasons, they have changed outfits from time to time. At the start of a new [[series]], characters continuing on will change their main outfit entirely. This is a list of the different clothing and outfits worn by the main characters.

=={{Ash}}==
===Main outfits===
====Main series====
All of Ash's main outfits are highlighted by [[Ash's hat|his hat]]. They often strongly feature the colors red and blue, along with black, white, green, and golden yellow. These are primary and bold colors, accenting Ash's primary status in the series.

=====Original series=====
[[File:Ash anime art.png|thumb|left|120px|Ash's first outfit]]
Ash's first outfit is, unlike those of many of {{ashfr}}, a unique outfit design in its own right, though it is also directly inspired by {{ga|Red}}'s. This fact is also echoed by the outfits of {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}}, which were designed purely for the {{pkmn|anime}} instead of using the outfits seen in the games themselves, and also the artwork for the games.

The upper part of the outfit is a medium blue jacket with gold trim and white collar and sleeves, worn open over a dark cyan or teal t-shirt. Ash kept his [[Kanto]], [[Orange League]], and [[Johto]] [[Badge]]s pinned to the inside of the jacket, which from time to time, would be taken off by him, most notably when his Pokémon need warmth. His lower outfit consists of jeans with light blue cuffs, black and white sneakers with red dots on both sides, and a brown belt, which he used to hang his [[Poké Ball]]s.

Ash also wears green finger-less gloves with light green borders, and of course, [[Ash's hat|his hat]]. The only part of the outfit with a known story behind it is the hat, which he won from a contest from the [[Pokémon League]]. Ash would turn his hat backwards when he was concentrating heavily, such as when he would face a Trainer or capture a Pokémon. This was very much the case early in his journey in Kanto, though by the time his journey in Johto ended, he hardly ever turned his cap.

He has a green [[bag|backpack]] with a yellow square label and slings with black adjusters on them. The backpack has two pockets and two open compartments on each side. The main, bigger pocket is delimited by a black zip fastener, while the external pocket has an orange stripe on it.

Ash wore this outfit from ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' to ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]''. Ash has worn this outfit in the most episodes, wearing it during a total of 273.
{{clear-left}}

=====''Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire''=====
[[File:Ash AG 3.png|thumb|left|120px|Ash's second outfit]]
Ash's second outfit was the first alternate main outfit to be seen on any character, and by default, the least expected. Brock and Misty's second outfits would not debut until several episodes after Ash's did. This outfit was given to Ash as a gift by [[Delia Ketchum|his mother]] in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]''.

Along with a new hat, Ash wore a hoodie instead of a jacket, black gloves instead of green, and new jeans and sneakers. In ''[[EP274|Hoenn Alone!]]'' and ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road!]]'', Ash can be seen wearing a T-shirt similar to the original series, but with an orange horizontal stripe. However, he keeps the hoodie closed, possibly because he no longer keeps Badges pinned to the inside. The backpack is green, with one pocket and a red Poké Ball design on it.

All of his new clothes, however, bear a notable resemblance to his old clothes, probably to maintain his style and avoid confusion which would be caused by a completely new appearance. This becomes a common theme among all new outfits: the new ones take on the style on the former outfits.

The symbol on his hat, backpack, and hoodie pocket reflect the {{i|Poké Ball}} symbols seen frequently in the [[Generation III]] games, particularly in the designs of the [[player character|main characters']] clothes. Ash's ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' outfit is similar to the one {{ga|Red}} wears in Generation III, most notably, his sleeves.

Ash wore this outfit from ''[[EP274|Hoenn Alone!]]'' to ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]''. Ash has worn this outfit in more different series than any other, wearing it during three different series.

=====''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl''=====
[[File:Ash DP.png|thumb|left|120px|Ash's third outfit]]
Based on the example set by ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'', most fans were expecting Ash to wear a new outfit at the start of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''.

His third outfit takes a step back to his first outfit by wearing a jacket instead of a hoodie, and with colors closer to the original. It also has a white undershirt instead of black for a change, as well as a new hat, new jeans, and new sneakers. The gloves are the same as those from his second outfit. The backpack is similar to the one he wore in AG, being green with two pockets, and having a white Poké Ball design with a red "button". It should be noted that this new outfit possessed some similarities to that of {{ga|Lucas}}, the male player character from {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. The primary differences are the hat designs, sneakers, backpack color, and the fact that Ash wears open fingered gloves, but no scarf. It also bears traits of {{ga|Red}}'s outfit, mainly the white collar, though there is the fact he is now wearing a closed jacket, another similarity with Red's.

One of the most common complaints among fans about the outfit is the yellow stripe across Ash's chest. This is, considering its curve, apparently based on the lower half of the {{i|Poké Ball}} symbol which was seen on Ash's pocket in his second outfit. However, given how long it is now, it is more difficult to tell.

Ash wore this outfit from ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]'' to ''[[DP191|Memories Are Made of Bliss]]''.

=====''Pokémon the Series: Black & White''=====
[[File:Ash Ketchum BW.png|thumb|left|120px|Ash's fourth outfit]]
As expected, Ash has received a new outfit for ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''. Outfit changes are now accepted as routine if and when the anime changes sagas.

As with his previous outfit, this one displayed some similarities to the outfit worn by {{ga|Hilbert}} from {{game|Black and White|s}}, with the main differences being the clothing shades, it having a yellow zipper, the coat being nearly all zipped up instead of being partially open nearing the bottom, it lacking a satchel and the hat, which resembles the one from the original series. Ash's new clothing closely follows the same color scheme he has always had: red, blue, yellow, green, black, and white. In this series, Ash's sneakers are high tops, rather than the normal sneakers he wore during the other series. Instead of blue jeans, Ash starts to wear black baggy jeans and wears a hooded jacket just like in AG, colored mostly blue and white along with a yellow zipper. He wears black finger-less gloves but the border is red. The backpack is blue-green, with one pocket, black straps, and a light green, curved stripe on it, resembling a Poké Ball design.

Ash wore this outfit from ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'' to ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''.
{{clear-left}}

=====''Pokémon the Series: XY''=====
[[File:Ash XY 4.png|thumb|left|120px|Ash's fifth outfit]]
Ash's outfit possessed some similarities to the outfit worn by {{ga|Calem}} from the games, with some differences. Ash uses a backpack instead of a satchel, like his Best Wishes outfit. The jacket that Calem wears has been shortened into a collared shirt for Ash, and a black undershirt is visible, both worn very much in the same style as {{ga|Red}}'s Generation III outfit. Ash wears red high top sneakers, similar to those worn in ''Pokémon the Series: Black & White'', and darker blue jeans. The backpack is one pocket, colored green with black straps and a white, slanted Poké Ball design on it, similar to previous generations. The gloves are the same as those from his fourth outfit.

Ash's hat continues to sport the rounded Poké Ball design seen in previous generations, and most notably seems to be directly based on Red's Generation III hat; albeit modified to somewhat resemble characteristics of Calem's hat as well. In general, the outfit heavily borrows characteristics from Red and Calem.

Ash wore this outfit from ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'' to ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]''. This is the second outfit that Ash has worn in more than one series, namely two.

=====''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon''=====
[[File:Ash_SM.png|thumb|left|120px|Ash's sixth outfit, with his original Z-Ring]]
This outfit is almost identical to the outfit worn by {{ga|Elio}} in {{g|Sun and Moon}}, with the coloring of the shirt being inverted and the hat being recolored from black to red, in keeping with the usual color scheme of Ash's headwear. This outfit deviates from Ash's previous styles in many ways; Ash no longer wears jeans, instead of wearing ribbed capri shorts with a red border, he now wears only a t-shirt with no jacket or hoodie over the top, and he no longer wears gloves and socks. His shoes are blue and are modeled after those worn by people to stand in water. His backpack, shorts, and shoes are all identical to Elio's.

Ash wore this outfit from ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'' to ''[[SM146|Thank You, Alola! The Journey Continues!]]''. In the same episode, Ash obtained a silver [[Z-Ring]], which was eventually upgraded into a black [[Z-Power Ring]] in ''[[SM052|Revealing the Stuff of Legend!]]''.
{{clear-left}}

=====''Pokémon Journeys: the Series''=====
[[File:Ash JN.png|thumb|left|120px|Ash's seventh outfit]]
The outfit for ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'' consists of a blue vest with yellow outlines, a white short sleeve undershirt with a red stripe, indigo shorts with black outlines, and black sneakers with blue highlights. His hat is red with a black Poké Ball design in the shape of the letter C. His backpack is green and black with one pocket and a C-shaped Poké Ball design similar to the one on his hat. This is the first outfit since the ''Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire'' outfit not to have any similarities with a male player character's outfit.

Ash started wearing this outfit in ''[[JN001|Enter Pikachu!]]''.

====Alternate movie continuity====
This section deals with the main outfits worn by the [[Ash Ketchum (M20)|alternate version of Ash]] who appeared in the twentieth, twenty-first, and twenty-third Pokémon movies.

=====''I Choose You!''=====
[[File:Ash M20.png|thumb|left|120px|Ash's outfit from [[M20|the twentieth movie]]]]
This outfit from ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', which retells parts of Ash's journey during the earliest episodes of the original series, is nearly identical to his original outfit, with certain parts of its design slightly altered. His hat now bears a logo similar to the one he has on his ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'' hat, except it is colored green and a part of the upper section is missing, which gives it a similar appearance to the old logo.

His jacket was also given a few changes. It is a different shade of blue, it now has pockets that are horizontal rather than diagonal, the white collar is slightly smaller, the gold trim on the bottom is now just a small stripe, and there is now just a single top button instead of the original two. His shirt is black instead of dark cyan or teal and it isn't tucked into his belt, making the belt not visible. Ash's blue jeans now have cuffs that resemble bracelets. His black and white sneakers are less detailed and lack the red dots. The hat's original logo now appears on his backpack, which is two shades of green with one pocket.
{{clear-left}}

=====''The Power of Us''=====
[[File:Ash M21.png|thumb|left|180px|Ash's outfit in [[M21|''The Power of Us'']]]]
In ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', Ash has another new outfit, this time unlike anything seen in the main series. Besides retaining the same hat that he wore in the previous movie, this outfit consists of a light-blue and white jacket with a large red collar, which in turn has a single yellow line across the center and a similarly-colored trim at the bottom of said jacket. His jacket is kept open to reveal a black shirt, looser-fitting than his previous outfit. The bottom half has him sporting gray capri shorts with a thin white line coming down both sides, and blue sneakers with orange laces. His usual fingerless gloves are black with a blue line across the cuff. His backpack is dark blue and black with a small Poké Ball design on it and one pocket.
{{clear-left}}

=====''Secrets of the Jungle''=====
[[File:Ash M23.png|thumb|left|120px|Ash's outfit in ''[[M23|Secrets of the Jungle]]'']]
Ash gains another new outfit in ''[[M23|Secrets of the Jungle]]'', which closely resembles his outfit from ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''. Notable differences include more details on his blue vest, white and blue shoes with yellow accents instead of black, dark gray shorts with yellow accents instead of indigo ones, and a Poké Ball on his shirt instead of a red stripe. He retains his hat from ''I Choose You!'' and his gloves from ''The Power of Us''.

=={{an|Misty}}==
===Main outfits===
All of Misty's main outfits feature the colors yellow, red, and blue.
[[File:Misty SM.png|thumb|left|150px|Misty's [[original series]] and ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'' outfit]]
[[File:Misty and Staryu.png|thumb|150px|Misty's ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' outfit]]
====Original series and ''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon''====
Misty's first outfit, and her best known, is a yellow crop top and jean shorts held up with red suspenders. Most of her midriff is revealed here. She wore red, yellow and white sneakers with it, and also carried a red drawstring backpack with it.

This outfit also debuted her hairstyle, which is typically the way she always wears it, regardless of her outfit: a small side ponytail. In ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', Misty holds a Key Stone on her hairband. She will occasionally take it down, but usually only if she is sleeping, bathing, or wearing a formal outfit of some sort. With her mermaid outfit, she wears it down with pearl ornaments.

Misty wore this outfit from ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' to ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'' (and continuing into the first three of four ''Pokémon Chronicles'' episodes she was in).

She was shown wearing this outfit again during her return in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'' and ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]''.

====''Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire''====
Misty's second outfit is a yellow sleeveless top or vest with a large blue button on the front and matching shorts, worn over some sort of dark-red under-all (swimsuit or leotard, etc.). She wears it with short pale and burnt orange ankle boots. The few times she carries a backpack with it, it is a small backpack designed to look like a {{p|Spheal}}.

Misty started wearing this outfit in ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'', but with a red drawstring bag. She is also seen wearing this outfit in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'', but with a pink purse.

====''Pokémon Chronicles'' series====
In the early episodes of Pokémon Chronicles involving Misty (''[[HS02|Cerulean Blues]], [[HS05|The Blue Badge of Courage]], [[HS11|A Date with Delcatty]]''), she wears her [[original series]] outfit. However, in ''[[HS16|Luvdisc is a Many Splendored Thing!]]'' (which was broadcast ''after'' the debut of her AG ensemble), she wears a new "casual" outfit: a sleeveless yellow top with a hood, slightly longer and looser blue shorts, a small white belt with a pink buckle, and reddish-brown penny loafer shoes worn with white socks.

====''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon'' (second outfit)====
Misty wore a orange, summer-oriented outfit during her visit to [[Alola]] in ''[[SM102|Alola, Alola!]]'' and ''[[SM103|Heart of Fire! Heart of Stone!]]''.

=={{an|Brock}}==
===Main outfits===
Brock's main outfits contain different shades of the earthy colors green, brown and orange.
[[File:Brock OS.png|thumb|left|80px|Brock's [[original series]] outfit]]
[[File:Brock AG.png|thumb|120px|Brock's ''Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire'' outfit]]
[[File:Brock DP.png|thumb|120px|Brock's ''Diamond and Pearl'' series outfit]]

====Original series====
One of the most distinct features of Brock's first outfit was his green vest, which had four large pockets on the front. He wore this over an orange short-sleeved shirt, along with brown pants and blue and white sneakers. On either side of his belt, which was black with a gold rectangular buckle, he had attached brown belt pockets. With it, he carried a large, blue backpack with a bedroll seen strapped to it at the top.

It is assumed he keeps many supplies in his many pockets, just as he tends to fill his bag with more supplies than it should be realistically able to hold. However, he has never been seen reaching into these pockets, so their contents remain unknown. The numerous pockets in this outfit were seen in all of his outfits.

Brock wore this outfit from ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' to ''[[HS01|A Family That Battles Together Stays Together!]]''.

====''Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire''====
In ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'', Brock wore a brown jacket with an orange collar. Under it, he wore a green undershirt, but he no longer wears a belt. His clothing slightly mirrors that of his game counterpart in Generation III.
His shoes are dark blue, and his new backpack is blue but has no bedroll.

Brock wore this outfit from ''[[HS01|A Family That Battles Together Stays Together!]]'' to ''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start Is!]]''. In the main series, it was first seen in Brock's comeback episode ''[[AG004|You Never Can Taillow]]''.

====''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl''====
Brock's ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'' outfit is one step closer to his original series outfit. He wears a vest again, but the colors are reversed. Instead of a green vest and an orange shirt, he wears an orange vest (which also consists of gray) and a green shirt. His new shoes and backpack are still blue, and his backpack does not have a bedroll.

Brock started wearing this outfit prior in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'', and was last seen wearing it in [[BWS01]].

====''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon''====
Brock's ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'' outfit looks almost identical to his original outfit. The only difference is his vest, which now has just two pockets instead of the original four. Brock also holds a Key Stone necklace inside his shirt. Brock wore this outfit during his return in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'' and ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]''.

During his visit to Alola, Brock wore a summer shirt with a blue, green and white pattern, and cream-colored shorts. He wore this outfit in ''[[SM102|Alola, Alola!]]'' and ''[[SM103|Heart of Fire! Heart of Stone!]]''.

===Side outfits===
====Formal clothes====
[[File:Brock SM.png|thumb|120px|Brock's Sun & Moon outfit]]
* Ash and Brock don party outfits in ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]''. Brock wears a white outfit with large pink frills on the sleeves and pant cuffs. He holds a pair of {{wp|maraca}}s with it.
* Brock fantasizes about wearing a blue {{wp|tuxedo (clothing)|tuxedo}} for a movie premiere in ''[[EP070|Go West Young Meowth]]''.
* One of Brock's best known outfits is his ''"[[Takeshi's Paradise]]"'' outfit. This was possibly inspired by his outfit in ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]''. It is similar in many ways, particularly the pink frills. However, this outfit is purple and red instead of white. Also, he wears a large {{wp|sombrero}} with it, and his {{wp|maraca}}s now look like {{i|Poké Ball}}s. He wore a similar outfit in ''[[DP087|The Psyduck Stops Here!]]''
* Brock wears a white tuxedo in ''[[EP169|Beauty and the Breeder]]''. He is seen in it again in [[Temacu]]'s wedding fantasy in ''[[EP198|The Heartbreak of Brock]]'' with a rose tucked in the breast pocket.
* Misty and Brock both wore special outfits for the [[Weekly Pokémon Broadcasting Station]]. Brock's outfit is a lime green tuxedo with an oversized sparkling pink {{wp|bow tie}}.
* Brock wears a purple {{wp|suit (clothing)|suit}} in fantasies in ''[[AG117|Berry, Berry Interesting]]'' and ''[[AG141|Hail to the Chef]]''. For some reason, these fantasies also always involve Brock's woman of choice in a red dress with a white hair accessory and drinking milk from a wine glass. However, the suit itself is variable; in the first episode, he wears it with a {{wp|necktie|tie}}, and in the second, with a bow tie.
* In ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', the characters dress up in formal medieval-themed outfits. Brock wears a beige robe similar to that of a priest covered by some sort of {{wp|cape}} or {{wp|mantle}} in brown, green, orange, and trimmed with gold, all topped with an orange {{wp|cap|skullcap}}.

====Weather clothes====
=====Swimwear=====
[[File:Brock snow pt.png|thumb|270px|Brock's jacket]]
* Brock's first swimwear was a pair of light purple swim trunks with three dark blue diamonds on the sides. From ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' onwards, these trunks were colored dark purple, due to the different palette used in the digitally colored episodes beginning with ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid]]''.
* In ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', Brock wore a pair of olive green trunks with an orange stripe down the side. These trunks would later become Brock's main swimwear in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''. Brock also wore his new trunks in the hot spring scene in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', but this is only known from the artwork, as in the scene itself, nothing below Brock's neck was seen above water.
* Like Ash and Dawn, Brock wore a different swimsuit than his normal one in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' - in Brock's case, a pair of dark green trunks with white lines on them. Like Ash's and Dawn's new swimwear, Brock's new trunks are quite unique, as he only wore them in that movie.

=====Snow wear=====
* Brock wore a red jacket and olive pants in ''[[EP189|Freeze Frame]]'' and ''[[AG108|Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snorunt!]]''.
* Brock wore a jacket similar to {{ga|Lucas}}'s in Platinum from ''[[DP125|Battling a Cute Drama!]]'' to ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]'', as well as part of the credits of ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.

====Other clothes====
* One of Brock's best known accessories is his pink frilly {{wp|apron}}. He frequently wears it while cooking or doing other chores.
* He also wears an alternate apron, known as the "movie apron" since it is only seen in the [[Pokémon movie]]s. This apron is bright blue with neon green straps.
* In ''[[EP053|The Purr-fect Hero]]'', Brock fantasizes about wearing {{wp|samurai}} {{wp|ō-yoroi}} armor and a {{wp|sumo}} suit.
* He wore a long, blue, medieval-themed robe for [[DJ Mary]]'s radio show in ''[[EP160|Air Time!]]''.
* He wore army attire in ''[[EP133|Tanks A Lot!]]'' when they had a plan to rescue Pikachu and others.
* He wore a stylish outfit with a matching cap in ''[[DP095|Battling The Generation Gap!]]''.
* In ''[[DP088|Camping it Up!]]'', ''[[DP137|Three Sides to Every Story!]]'', and [[DPS02]], Brock is seen wearing a gray tank top and shorts as sleepwear.
* In ''[[SM102|Alola, Alola!]]'', Brock wore a nurse outfit similar to the one that the Nurse Joy of [[Melemele Island]] wears.

=={{Tracey}}==
===Main outfit===
[[File:Tracey Sketchit.png|thumb|Tracey's main outfit]]
Tracey has only had one main outfit throughout the entire series. It consists of a loose green {{wp|T-shirt}}, reddish-brown shorts, blue and yellow sneakers, an orange backpack, and his most notable accessory, a salmon-colored headband that he uses to keep his hair out of his face.
Tracey is the only main character from the original series whose outfit was not changed at the start of any of the newer series.

===Side outfits===
====Formal clothes====

====Weather clothes====

=====Swimwear=====
* His first swimsuit was a pair of navy-blue swim trunks with two red lines on either side, as seen in ''[[EP092|The Joy of Pokémon]]''.
* The second was seen in ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]''. It is still a pair of navy blue swim trunks but with a sunflower print. He also removed his headband while in this outfit.
* The third was seen in ''[[HS05|The Blue Badge of Courage]]''. It is another pair of blue swim trunks but with an orange stripe painted on the legs.

====Other clothes====
In ''[[HS16|Luvdisc is a Many Splendored Thing!]]'', {{an|Daisy}} fantasized Tracey playing the prince in her water ballet alongside Misty. This outfit consisted of a blue shirt with long sleeves and gold trimming, teal pants, a red cape, and a silver crown. This would be the second time he is seen without his headband.

=={{an|May}}==
===Main outfits===
[[File:May AG 3.png|120px|thumb|left|May's ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' outfit]]
====''Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire''====
May's main outfit is a red t-shirt with a dark blue circle around her neck, dark blue bike shorts, white skirt, a pair of black socks, red and yellow sneakers, a red bandanna with a white Poké Ball print, a yellow waist-pack, and dark-blue and white gloves. It is based on the outfit her {{ga|May|game counterpart}} wears in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}.
[[File:May DP series.png|thumb|200px|May's ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'' outfit]]

====''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl''====
Much like Ash and Brock changed clothes at the start of both ''Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire'' and ''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl'', and Misty did before her return in ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'', May changed clothes sometime between her departure in ''[[AG192|Home Is Where the Start Is]]'' and her return in ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]'' Her outfit in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'' is based on the outfit that her {{ga|May|game counterpart}} wears in {{game|Emerald}}. It consists of a green bandanna, a sleeveless and short orange tunic with a black collar, black bike shorts, black socks, and red and white sneakers. She also carries a green waist-pack similar to the one she carried in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''. When she got off the boat, she was seen with a yellow backpack. It is unknown if she normally carries this or only had it because she was traveling a long distance (to Sinnoh from Johto).

May wore this outfit as of her [[DP079|latest appearance]], and presumably currently wears it.
 

===Side outfits===
====Formal clothes====
[[File:May Dress M08.png|250px|thumb|May's dress in ''Lucario and the Mystery of Mew'']]
* In ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', the characters dress up in formal medieval-themed outfits. May wears a white, pink and red {{wp|ball gown}} decorated with tiny bows and with a Beautifly design similar to {{p|Beautifly}} wings on the back. She wears her hair in two different ways in this outfit, with different accessories for each: in one way, she wears a large red bow styled to look like her regular {{wp|kerchief|bandana}}, and another, she has little pink pom-poms in her hair.
[[File:May Wallace Cup.png|thumb|200px|May at the Wallace Cup]]

* During the [[Wallace Cup]], May wore a new dress for the Contest, which was unique because it had an Arabian style to it. It was a vermilion top with a yellow heart on it with yellow border on the sleeves and neck. She also wore a peach-pink veil with a green gem on top, and a light purple long skirt with a piece of pink fabric at the waist. Her entire midriff is exposed here. She also wears brown sandals and a yellow necklace with a red heart.

====Weather clothes====
=====Swimwear=====
* May's most common swimwear is a yellow hearts two-piece swimsuit with shorts. This was shown in ''[[AG012|The Lotad Lowdown]]'' and ''[[AG019|Sharpedo Attack!]]''.

* May wore sleeveless pink colored ninja clothing in ''[[AG156|From Cradle to Save!]]''. Like Ash, she did not wear a white headband like the majority of the other characters.

=={{an|Dawn}}==
[[File:Dawn DP 3.png|thumb|140px|thumb|Dawn's main outfit]]
===Main outfit===
Dawn's outfit consists of a black V-neck tanktop with a white undershirt and a pink skirt. On her head, she wears a white beanie with a pink {{i|Poké Ball}} print on it. She also wears gold hair clips that hold up her hair in the front and a black bracelet on her right wrist. On her feet, she wears pink knee-high boots with black socks underneath. She also has a small yellow backpack with all her personal belongings. It is nearly identical to her {{ga|Dawn|game counterpart}}'s with the exception of her scarf and bag.

Unlike the female companions preceding her, who both changed outfits upon returning in later series, Dawn continued to wear this outfit even throughout her return in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' and ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''.

===Side outfits===
====Formal clothes====
Formal clothes are a key part of Dawn's wardrobe since she dresses up nicely for all her [[Pokémon Contest]]s.
* In her [[DP001|debut appearance]], she was shown to be wearing three different formal outfits when imagining herself in Contests with each of the Sinnoh starters. In her Chimchar fantasy, she was seen wearing a crimson red dress; in the Turtwig fantasy, she was wearing a lavender suit with a top hat; and in the Piplup fantasy, she was wearing a light green dress.
* She frequently wears a pink dress during her Contests. In the [[Floaroma Town]] Contest, she wore a red-pink hair ribbon tied at the back, decorated her dress with a gold flower at the left side, and a red-pink ribbon with long tails and a red-pink sash, presumably to fit the town's flowery theme. In the [[Hearthome City]] Contest, she added a yellow sash around her waist and her hair barrettes were star-shaped. The yellow sash was also seen in the [[Wallace Cup]]. In the first round of the [[Celestic Town]] Contest, she decorated her dress with fluffy fur, similar to {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}'s. In the [[Lilypad Town]] Contest, she again wore her yellow sash with long white opera gloves. In the [[Daybreak Town]] Contest, she wears short white gloves, with one red-pink Ribbon in each one, and her shoes have one yellow rose in each. Opening and ending themes show her in different dresses, but she has never worn them in Contests.
* In ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', Dawn wore a pink outfit for the [[Alamos Town]] Contest.
* In the [[Hearthome Collection]], she wore a plain light powder-blue dress with a yellow Ribbon at the back. It also came along with a blue, beaded necklace and white shoes.
* In ''[[DP171|Dawn of a Royal Day]]'', Dawn wore [[Princess Salvia]]'s light pink dress with long white opera gloves, when they swapped places.
* In the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival|Grand Festival]], she wore a new light yellow dress with a red-pink ribbon sewn to the chest, like the one on her forehead, an orange sash at the torso area, white ruffles, opera-length white gloves, and white pumps.

* She wore a pink one-piece swimsuit with a short skirt around the waist in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', along with some kind of white undershirt with horizontal black stripes on it.
* In the ending [[In Your Heart, LaLaLa]], Dawn wore a light pink one-piece swimsuit with two white stripes at the bottom.
* Dawn wears a different swimsuit in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''. This two-piece swimsuit consists of a light green top with vertical dark green stripes and a light green piece of cloth wrapped around her waist. Dawn wore this swimsuit for the first time in ''[[BW087|Expedition to Onix Island!]]''.

=====Snow wear=====
[[File:Dawn snow pt.png|thumb|270px|Dawn in her {{v2|Platinum}} outfit]]
* Dawn wore an outfit nearly identical to her {{ga|Dawn|game counterpart's}} in Platinum from'' [[DP125|Battling a Cute Drama!]]'' to ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]'', as well as part of the credits of ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. The only difference is she maintains her gold barrettes rather than wearing pink ones, however, while inside a building, she wears her normal clothing, but with the winter boots and socks.

=====Other=====
* The [[Pokémon Learning League]] website portrays Dawn with her white undershirt having sleeves that reach past her elbows, and black stockings or tights covering her legs.
* Dawn donned a pink cheerleading outfit in ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos we Watched]]'', ''[[DP068|A Triple Fighting Chance!]]'', and ''[[DP179|The Eighth Wonder of the Sinnoh World!]]''. Her Pokémon have similar outfits. The purpose of the outfit was to support [[Ash Ketchum]] in his Gym battles with Roark, Maylene, and Volkner.
* Dawn wore a light-blue apron in ''[[DP025|Oh Do You Know The Poffin Plan!]]''.
* Before leaving her home to start her journey, she was shown to have many clothes in the bag her mother asked her to leave behind.
* Dawn wore a French maid's outfit to help out at the [[Café Cabin]] in ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]''.
* Dawn wore a yellow apron in ''[[DP084|Hungry for the Good Life!]]''.
* In ''[[DP043|Malice in Wonderland]]'', she wore a {{p|Piplup}} costume in her dream.
* At one point in the ending credits of ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', Dawn is shown in a number of different outfits.
* Whenever she is sleeping, Dawn wears a set of pink pajamas with light yellow stripes on the sides with a zip on the top piece and a white undershirt, first seen in ''[[DP009|Setting the World on its Buneary!]]''. She also wore them in [[JN074]].
* Dawn wears a long pink nightgown at the start of ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage!]]'' and DP191. It is also seen in the ending ''[[By Your Side ~Hikari's Theme~]]''. For some reason, as mentioned above, she seems to only wear her gown to bed whenever she is sleeping at home, while she sleeps in two-piece pajamas outside instead. Additionally, only the top half of her gown is ever shown, due to the only shots of her wearing the gown being an exterior shot of her looking outside of the window of her bedroom, although the aforementioned ending theme that briefly showed Dawn's nightgown showed a brief glimpse of what appears to be part of a white ruffle on the hem of her gown, due to her posing in a way so that the hem of hew gown billows upwards from below the screen. However, the full gown was shown completely in a rare piece of concept art. Dawn's nightgown's design appears to look very similar to the nightgown worn by her ''Adventures'' counterpart Platinum early on in the Diamond and Pearl chapter of ''Adventures''.
* In ''[[Message of the Wind]]'', Dawn wore a cerulean, knee-length, formal dress and a white floppy hat with a cerulean ribbon tied around.
* Also, she wore a bright yellow ball gown with a big pink ribbon with long flowing tails at the back that matches the one on the back of her head.

==[[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}==
[[File:Team Rocket trio SM.png|thumb|260px|left|Team Rocket's main outfits]]
===Main outfits===
Jessie and James are usually found in the same outfit at all times: their white [[Team Rocket uniform]]s. There has been some question about the position or rank denoted by these uniforms, since most {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket Grunts}} wear a black uniform of similar design. However, in ''[[EP231|Dues and Don'ts]]'', it was revealed that Jessie and James designed their own uniforms to "express their sense of style." Jessie and James have only been seen wearing a different color uniform in ''[[HS12|Training Daze]]'', where they (along with the other trainees) wear dark red. They also wore the black uniforms once.

Meowth, being a Pokémon, has no main outfit and is seen most often not wearing any clothing. However, he does have a fairly notable list of side outfits which he's worn alongside Jessie and James.

====''Pokémon the Series: Black & White''====
[[File:Team Rocket BW 1.png|250px|thumb|Team Rocket's black uniforms]]
Jessie and James changed into their black uniforms in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''. They wore these outfits from ''[[BW001|In the Shadow of Zekrom]]'' until ''[[BW023|Battling For The Love of Bug-Types!]]'' when they switched back into their white ones.

====''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon''====
In addition to their regular outfits, Jessie, James, Meowth, and also {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} dress in light summer clothes when they are in public and off work in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''. Jessie wears a purple sleeveless shirt with pink flower prints, a light purple coat tied around her neck, faint purple pants and white sandals; She also wears a light yellow hat, a yellow wristband and brown sunglasses. James wears a light green shirt with light heart prints in the front, light yellow shorts and blue shoes; He also wears a blue and white cap with a green logo on the front and black sunglasses. Meowth wears a red polo shirt, dark yellow shorts, an orange visor hat, orange slippers and greenish sunglasses. Wobbuffet wears a pink shirt, a light brown hat and blue triangular sunglasses.

====''The Power of Us'' and ''Secrets of the Jungle''====
[[File:Team Rocket trio M21.png|250px|thumb|Team Rocket's uniforms in ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'']]
In ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'' and ''[[M23|Secrets of the Jungle]]'', which is set in a different continuity from the main series, Jessie and James wear altered versions of their white uniforms. Jessie's shirt is now sleeveless and her skirt now has a belt, while James' shirt is shorter and has shorter sleeves.

===Side outfits===
====Disguises====
{{main|List of Team Rocket's disguises}}
Frequently, when they are not wearing their Team Rocket uniforms, they are most likely wearing something as a [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguise]] to fool the [[twerp]]s. These range from very elaborate to very simple outfits, all of which have fooled Ash and {{ashfr}} with similar success.

Several of these disguises are posing as other characters, such as [[Officer Jenny]] and [[Nurse Joy]]. {{an|Brock}} is usually the best at telling these disguises from the actual women, whether he is aware of it or not.

====Formal clothes====
* In ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', the characters dress up in formal medieval-themed outfits. Jessie and James looked possibly the most out of place, perhaps as a tongue-in-cheek joke, wearing extravagant outfits based more on the {{wp|Victorian fashion|Victorian era}} than medieval times. Meowth, on the other hand, wore one of the most well-known of medieval outfits, a {{wp|armour|suit of armor}}.
* Whenever she competes in [[Pokémon Super Contest]]s, Jessie wears a large orange dress with light brown boots, with round yellow and orange glasses and her hair in pigtails, under the name Jessilina (Japanese: キャンディ・ムサリーナ ''Candy Musalina'').

====Weather clothes====
=====Swimwear=====
* Jessie and James ''both'' wore two-piece bikinis in ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]''. James wore his with giant inflatable breasts. These swimsuits were never seen in the English dub, since the scene containing them was cut.
* Jessie and James also both wore swimsuits in ''[[DP013|A Staravia is Born!]]''. Jessie wore a blue bikini and James wore blue swim briefs. They both had the 'R' logo on them.
* Jessie, James and Meowth were seen using scuba gears in ''[[BW127|The Island of Illusions!]]''.

=====Snow wear=====
* Team Rocket wore green jackets and pants in ''[[AG108|Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snorunt!]]''.

====Other clothes====
* During the [[Gourgeist Festival]] in ''[[XY082|A Festival Trade! A Festival Farewell?]]'', Jessie and James wore costumes based on a {{p|Gourgeist}} and a {{p|Mismagius}}.

==Blurb==

Giovanni, the leader of Team Rocket, had ambitious plans to take over the world, involving his latest experiment, a powerful clone of Mew—Mewtwo. Mewtwo is very powerful, and also very smart—smart enough to not want to be controlled by Giovanni. It escaped from the lab, and now Mewtwo begins to concoct its own scheme, clandestinely inviting a number of Pokémon Trainers to the ultimate test. Of course, if it's an event for talented Trainers, Ash Ketchum will be right in the front row!

Ash's excitement turns to fear and anger when Mewtwo reveals its plan for domination, creating powerful clones of all of the kids' Pokémon so it can even the "imbalance" between Pokémon and their Trainers. Despite Ash's protests, Mewtwo refuses to believe that Pokémon and people can be friends. But faced with the determination of a young Trainer and the love of his Pokémon, Mewtwo just might have to reconsider, especially when pitted against the power of the mysterious Mew!

==Plot==
{{an|Dr. Fuji}}, wanting to find a way to restore life by cloning, leads an expedition to [[Guyana]] after finding evidence of a shrine dedicated to {{p|Mew}}, the world's most powerful—but now said to be extinct—Pokémon. {{an|Giovanni}}, the leader of [[Team Rocket]], funds Fuji's research in return for an enhanced, living replica of Mew. Finding a fossil of Mew, Fuji and his team create {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}. Upon gaining consciousness, a confused Mewtwo asks itself who it is, what it is, and where it came from. Just then, Mewtwo fully wakes up in a stasis tube in one of Fuji's laboratories, where the scientists study it. Mewtwo breaks out of its test tube; Dr. Fuji tells Mewtwo that it was made by [[human]]s and is a clone of, but much more powerful than Mew. Mewtwo is angry that the scientists see it more as an end result to their project and less of a sentient being, so it destroys the lab and kills all of the scientists. Dr. Fuji says to himself that he succeeded in creating the world's most powerful Pokémon before dying at the hands of Mewtwo. Then, Giovanni arrives in his private helicopter and offers to help Mewtwo focus its powers. Mewtwo takes up the offer, and is put in a suit of armor.

Over the next few weeks, Mewtwo does most of Team Rocket's dirty work, capturing [[wild Pokémon]] and beating any {{pkmn|Trainer}} that challenges the [[Viridian Gym]], including [[Gary Oak]]. When Giovanni tells Mewtwo his own twisted way of controlling Pokémon, Mewtwo angrily blasts away, destroying its armor, and vows from atop the island it was created on to begin its reign on Earth.

[[File:Messenger Dragonite.png|thumb|left|250px|A Dragonite shows up to deliver an invitation]]
Meanwhile, {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} are preparing for lunch until a Trainer named [[Raymond]] shows up and challenges Ash, who is happy to oblige. With his {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Squirtle}}, and Pikachu, Ash easily beats Raymond. What he doesn't know is that he's being watched, not only by Team Rocket, but by a mysterious third party. [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}, who were also watching the battle, don't have any food and watch hungrily as the gang eats Brock's cooking. Suddenly, a {{p|Dragonite}} flies in with a letter for Ash and {{ashfr}}. It projects a hologram of a mysterious woman who tells the Trainers to head to [[Old Shore Wharf]] in order to get to an island fortress called [[New Island]].

Later, as a storm brews, the gang arrive at the [[Pokémon Center]], whose [[Nurse Joy]] has been missing for quite a while. [[Officer Jenny]] informs the Trainers gathered that the ferry to New Island has been cancelled. {{OBP|Miranda|M01}}, the pier master tells them that she has lived on the pier all her life and that the current storm is the fiercest she's ever seen. She then tells a story to everyone present about how some people died in a storm many years ago, however legend has it that the tears of a Pokémon restored the people to life.

Soon, most of the other Pokémon Trainers—ignoring Jenny and Miranda's warnings—take off for New Island. Ash and the gang are eager to follow, but none of their Pokémon are strong enough to handle the giant waves. Team Rocket, under disguise, give Ash and the gang a boat ride. Later, Team Rocket's disguise was uncovered. However, the storm proves too much for them, and as the strong wind and waves hit against the boat, it capsized and everyone was sent into the ocean. The gang saved themselves by using Ash's Squirtle and [[Misty's Staryu]] to get all the way to New Island.

As the heroes barely arrive at New Island, the mystery woman from the hologram letter greets them and takes them to the dining room to meet the other Trainers who arrived safely. Brock says that she looked familiar, however, the woman denies it and shows them to the castle.

Meanwhile, as Team Rocket try to get inside the fortress, the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{OBP|Mew|M01}} senses something troubling and arrives at New Island, and follows closely behind Team Rocket.

[[File:Mewtwo M01.png|thumb|250px|Mewtwo greets Trainers to New Island]]
As they arrive in the dining room, Ash and the gang meet three Pokémon Trainers named [[Neesha]], [[Fergus]], and [[Corey]]. Just then, the mystery woman introduces everybody in the room to her master, who is revealed to be none other than Mewtwo. Fergus insults Mewtwo, who sends him flying. Fergus has his {{p|Gyarados}} attack with {{m|Hyper Beam}}, but Mewtwo easily reflects it. Then, Mewtwo releases the woman from its power, Brock quickly catches her, and it is revealed that the mystery woman is the missing Nurse Joy. Mewtwo tells the Trainers that humans are weak and cruel, and have made all Pokémon their slaves. It also says that Pokémon are no better off, since they choose to associate with humans.

As Team Rocket get into the fortress and make their way into a laboratory, they come across a weird-looking machine, a computer, and several Pokémon sleeping in giant pods. Jessie accidentally sits on the computer controls, which play back a recorded message from Dr. Fuji about the fossilized eyelash of Mew that was used to create Mewtwo. Suddenly, the machine takes a piece of hair from Meowth to create a clone of him. Summoned by Mewtwo, the cloned Pokémon awaken and exit to their master.

Mewtwo leads Ash and the other Trainers into the stadium part of the fortress and suggests that they should battle Pokémon to see who is the strongest, the clones versus the originals. [[Ash's Charizard]], Corey's {{p|Venusaur}}, and Neesha's {{p|Blastoise}} are no match for Mewtwo's clones. Mewtwo then summons its own specialized [[Poké Ball]]s, the Mewtwo Balls, and uses them to capture Charizard, Venusaur and Blastoise, claiming them as its prize. Mewtwo then announces that the other Pokémon will be taken to be cloned. The clones will remain safe on the island while Mewtwo's storms destroy the planet. Mewtwo then sends the Balls after the Pokémon.

[[File:Neesha Vileplume.png|thumb|left|250px|Neesha attempts to protect her Pokémon]]
Immediately, all the Trainers are on the run. Some Pokémon are captured before they realize what's happening, some attempt to outrun the Mewtwo Balls and some attempt to use their attacks to defend themselves. However, it proves to be useless as nearly all the Pokémon end up being captured one by one. Ash deduces that Pokémon inside their Poké Balls should be safe from capture and [[recall]]s {{AP|Bulbasaur}} and {{AP|Squirtle}}. However, it turns out to be no use, as the Mewtwo Balls instead capture the {{i|Poké Ball}}s whole with Bulbasaur and Squirtle still inside. Brock suggests carrying the Pokémon away, but while Misty successfully hides {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} inside her [[bag|backpack]], {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} and {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}} aren't so lucky and are also caught.

{{AP|Pikachu}} is the only Pokémon still uncaptured, and as a result he's now the only target of the Mewtwo Balls. Ash uses his body to block them, giving Pikachu a chance to run. Pikachu heads towards a nearby suspended staircase and uses {{m|Thunder Shock}} to take out a few of the Mewtwo Balls. Ash follows him up the staircase. Pikachu is forced to use his Thunder Shock every few seconds, which in combination with constantly being on the run, leaves him exhausted. As a result, Pikachu is forced off the staircase while dodging the Balls, falling a long way. Ash jumps off after Pikachu to protect him, but before he can grab his friend, a Mewtwo Ball finally manages to capture Pikachu. Ash grabs the Ball before he falls into the pool of water at the base of the staircase, and loses his grip on it underwater. Ash follows it, out of the pool, and towards the entrance to the laboratory where Team Rocket is.

The same machine that cloned Meowth earlier is now processing all of the Mewtwo Balls, and Ash grabs the one Pikachu is in just as the machine does as well. Fighting against the machine's many arms, Ash eventually manages to get the Mewtwo Ball away, destroying the machine in the process. Pikachu is released from the Mewtwo Ball and shakes himself off. Happily, he reunites with Ash, but the clones are now freed from their stasis tubes, prepared to join Mewtwo. The remaining Mewtwo Balls are released from the machine in an explosion, and all open to free the Pokémon inside, including Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and their Poké Balls.

Mewtwo releases the other humans and is soon joined by its clone army. Ash emerges from the smoke with his and every Trainer's Pokémon and proclaims that they won't let Mewtwo's plan succeed. He tries to punch Mewtwo, but Mewtwo's force field knocks him down. Ash goes in for another punch, but this time Mewtwo sends him flying at a high point of the castle. Ash is saved from the blow by a large, pink bubble. Then Mew comes onto the scene, having created the bubble that protected Ash. The playful Pokémon is soon targeted by a {{m|Shadow Ball}} from its clone, Mewtwo, who says that clones are far more powerful than the originals. Mew communicates with Mewtwo that a Pokémon's real strength comes from the heart, which is translated by Meowth. Disgusted, Mewtwo throws another Shadow Ball at Mew, who dodges it, but the blast hits Ash. With Mewtwo blocking all the Pokémon's special moves, a widespread melee begins between the Pokémon and their clones.

[[File:Mewtwo and Mew.png|thumb|250px|Mewtwo and Mew]]
Ash survives the blast, but is horrified to see all the Pokémon fighting their clones, especially Pikachu getting slapped endlessly by his [[Pikachutwo|clone]]. He eventually falls back down to the stadium floor, prompting Misty, Brock, and Nurse Joy to come to his aid. They see now how horrible this kind of fighting is, and that the originals and clones will never give up, resulting in their deaths. Ash realizes someone has to take a stand and refuse to fight, like Pikachu is.

As Team Rocket also look on in horror, Meowth talks with his clone about how, no matter how different people are, they all share a lot in common on this planet.

Just as Mew and Mewtwo are emanating large auras of psychic energy in preparation for their most powerful energy blasts, Ash, frightened and angered by the continuous fighting, runs between them, demanding them to stop their futile battle. The two blasts of energy strike with Ash in the crossfire, and due to the magnitude of concentrated power, Ash is turned to stone. Mewtwo, shocked by Ash's recklessness, calls him a fool.

The stadium becomes silent, save for Pikachu, who runs to Ash's side. After trying to wake him up, Pikachu uses his Thunderbolt in vain, as Ash stays unmoving and no sign of life. Pikachu begins to cry at losing his best friend, as do the rest of the Pokémon in the stadium due to Ash's noble and brave sacrifice in the name of their salvation. The tears of all the Pokémon come together and magically revive Ash, bringing him back to life just like in the story Miranda told earlier.

After witnessing all of this, Mewtwo states that it does not matter who is more powerful, that the clones and originals both have value, and that the circumstances of one's birth is irrelevant: it is what one does with life that determines one's destiny. Mewtwo also says that it would be best if no one knew about what happened. When Mewtwo flies off, it tells Ash that it will find a place where it and the clones can live in peace. As a result, all of the memories of this event are erased from the Trainers' minds.

Ash, Misty, Brock, and everyone else instantly find themselves back at the Pokémon Center with no memory of their adventure on New Island. Nurse Joy is also back, offering shelter from the storm. Going out to the pier, Ash sees Mew in the clouds as the storm ends and tells Misty and Brock that [[EP001|when his journey began]] he saw a {{an|Ho-Oh|mysterious Pokémon}}, and now he believes he just saw another. Misty thinks that Ash was just imagining it, but Brock points out that maybe he wasn't. With that, the three friends prepare to continue their journey.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket, on the now-empty and green New Island and with no clue how they got here, decide to take a vacation as the credits begin to roll.

These episodes were supposed to air before the movie premiere, but due to the anime's four-month hiatus after the seizures caused by the [[Banned episodes|banned episode]] [[EP038]], the episodes ended up airing on September 17, 24, and October 8, 1998, respectively, whereas the movie premiered on July 18.

The scene in which Nidoking and Arcanine battle Mewtwo is adapted from Gary's battle against Giovanni in ''The Battle of the Badge'', but there are several differences between the two versions. The movie has a different perspective and animation, mostly evident in Mewtwo's appearance, which is more cartoony in the episode as opposed to the elaborate design of its armor in the movie. Mewtwo's whole body glows when it uses Psychic against Nidoking and Arcanine in the episode, but only its eyes glow in the movie. Mewtwo's chin is covered by its armor in the movie, but it is exposed in the episode. It is unknown whether this is an error or design change, since what looks like the chin could have been part of the armor if colored differently. Giovanni's position also differs: he stands up and walks forward before sending out Mewtwo in the episode, but stays seated in the movie.

In ''It's Mr. Mime Time'', Mewtwo makes a cameo when the Rocket Trio go to {{an|Team Rocket HQ}}, apologize to Giovanni, and have a brief video chat with him. The upward-panning shot of Mewtwo uses the same animation of when Mewtwo is first shown in its armor, though this scene chronologically took place after the scene in the movie.

The scene of Mewtwo blasting out of Team Rocket HQ in ''Showdown at the Po-ké Corral'' is also shown in the movie's prologue. The explosion in the episode has a different perspective and animation, but both shots of Mewtwo flying away use the same animation. The shot of Giovanni's helicopter taking off in this episode uses the same animation (played in reverse) of the same helicopter landing on New Island in the movie.

==Alternate versions==
===''Kanzenban'' version===
In Japan the theatrical version had only two home video releases (VHS, February 12, 1999; LaserDisc, July 17, 1999) and was never shown on TV. A new version of the movie, known as the ''kanzenban'' (Japanese: 完全版 ''full version''), has been shown in all television airings in Japan (the first one being on July 8, 1999) and in the Japanese home video releases from the third one (VHS, November 12, 1999) onward: this version contains additional scenes and CGI edits.

====Additional scenes====
{{main|The Uncut Story of Mewtwo's Origin}}
A ten-minute short known as (Japanese: '''{{tt|ミュウツーの誕生|Mewtwo no Tanjō}}''' ''The Birth of Mewtwo'') was added at the beginning of the movie in the "kanzenban" version: this short details the history of Mewtwo's creation (based on the radio drama ''[[The Birth of Mewtwo]]''), increasing the movie's length from 75 to 85 minutes and the prologue's length from 10 to 20 minutes. Although the ''kanzenban'' was created to be later used in the United States, the North American theatrical version (November 12, 1999) removed the short while still using the footage from the ''kanzenban'' for the rest of the movie instead of the footage from the Japanese theatrical version. On March 21, 2000, ''Mewtwo Strikes Back'' was released in home video in the United States, and both the VHS and the DVD included the first two minutes of the short dubbed in English as '''The Story of Mewtwo's Origin''': in the VHS these scenes were added to the beginning of the movie while in the DVD they were included as an extra. On June 23, 2000, a Japanese DVD of the movie was released with both a Japanese and an English audio track, and this marked the first time the full English dubbed version of the short was available; it was later included under the title '''The Uncut Story of Mewtwo's Origin''' in the Special Features of the international DVD of ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', released on August 17, 2001 in Australia and on December 4, 2001 in the United States.
* The first scene (the only one that was included on the American VHS/DVD release of the movie) centered around a group of explorers who found an ancient engraving of Mew and a fossil of its eyelash.
* The second detailed {{an|Dr. Fuji}}'s attempts to clone {{an|Amber|his daughter}}, who had died as a child, Mew, and the Kanto starters.
* The final scene detailed a young Mewtwo's telepathic interaction with clones of the [[Kanto]] starters and Amber Fuji.

====CGI edits====
All the following edits were made for the "kanzenban" and then used in international releases of the movie:
* In the wide shot of Mewtwo facing Dr. Fuji, who is explaining to it how it was created, two large test tubes were shown positioned on either side of the screen in front of the characters and magnifying them. These were pushed off to the edge of the screen in the newer version of the film.
* When Mewtwo is being suited up with armor, Giovanni is covered in shadow (much like his first appearances in the anime). In the newer version the scene was changed so he could be seen better, probably because his identity in the anime had already been revealed in ''[[EP063|Battle of the Badge]]''.
* A CGI panning effect was added to the Gym floor when Mewtwo battles a Trainer's {{p|Onix}}.
* When Mewtwo first summons the storm, the shadow color on its hand is changed from purple to pinkish-red.
* Mew floating up to the surface of the water in a bubble was completely re-animated.
* Throughout the film, the original hand-drawn clouds of Mewtwo's storm are replaced with more realistic-looking CGI clouds. The water in the storm is also altered to have different shades of blue.
* Mewtwo's castle is changed from hand-drawn to CGI.
* The shot of the big doors opening was replaced with CGI doors. When the door closes in front of Ash, the scene now pans all the way back to Team Rocket facing the door when it was originally a {{wp|Dissolve (filmmaking)|dissolve}}.
* Another CGI panning effect was added for the shot of Rhyhorn charging toward Mewtwo.
* The big reveal of Mewtwo's stadium was rendered with CGI.
* The scene of Ash walking forward with all the rescued Pokémon was altered to have them fade into sight. In the original, they were drawn as black silhouettes slowly walking outward through the smoke and their bodies interacted with it more. This was also seen in the US trailer of ''Pokémon the First Movie''.
* When Ash is looking down at the Pokémon fighting their clones, they were all originally drawn as silhouettes.
* The tears of life from the Pokémon were changed to CGI.

===Digitally remastered version===
Similar to ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' and ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'', the ''Kanzenban'' version of this movie was digitally remastered to HD, complete with slight color correction. An error is also corrected where [[Raymond]]'s {{p|Machamp}} now comes out of its [[Poké Ball]] only once. It was released on Blu-Ray in Japan on November 28, 2012 with a boxset containing all the movies up to [[M13]], and aired on May 3, 2013 on [[TV Tokyo]]. The dub (which retains the [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] audio) aired on Cartoon Network January 4, 2014, and was re-released on [[Pokémon TV]] June 6, 2015. In addition to all of the changes in the Japanese version, [[The Uncut Story of Mewtwo's Origin]] is once again cut out, along with the Alakazam error in the Cartoon Network version. The opening{{tt|*|Cartoon Network version only, they are removed from the Pokémon TV version}} and ending{{tt|*|Pokémon TV re-release only}} credits are retyped in a [[The Pokémon Company International|TPCi]] font instead of {{wp|Comic Sans}}, and the copyright year 2014 (2015 for the re-release) was added to the end of the credits. The Warner Bros. distribution screen at the end was removed.

===Remake===
{{main|M22|Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution}}
The movie was remade as a 3D-animated film titled ''Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution''. It debuted in Japanese in July 2019 and in English in February 2020.

==Trivia==
[[File:Fourth Trainer.png|thumb|200px|The fourth Trainer seen on the far right before leaving]]
[[File:Female Trainer M01 Fearow.png|thumb|200px|The female Trainer leaving for New Island on a Fearow]]
* This {{pkmn|movie}} was released between [[EP054]] and [[EP055]] in Japan. However, it chronologically takes place sometime after [[EP065]], where Mewtwo is seen escaping from {{an|Team Rocket HQ}}. This mismatch was caused by the [[EP038|Pokémon Shock incident]] causing the {{pkmn|anime}} to be put on hiatus for several months.
* At ten minutes, this movie has the longest prologue. The prologue was further extended to 20 minutes in the Japanese extended version and twelve minutes in the international extended version.
** According to [[Takeshi Shudō]], the prologue was only added after it was clear that the hiatus would cause the tie-in episodes to air after the movie premiere.<ref>http://www.style.fm/as/05_column/shudo167.shtml</ref> Originally, Mewtwo would first appear onscreen when it revealed itself to the Trainers on [[New Island]].
* According to Takeshi Shudo's notes on the movie, {{Ash}} was petrified but not killed when Mewtwo and Mew's {{m|Psychic}} blasts collided with him, and the tears simply restored him.
* Some of the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} on the poster did not appear in the movie.
* Several [[move]]s were used by Pokémon in this movie that were not yet available in the {{pkmn|games}}. {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} used {{m|Shadow Ball}}, {{DL|Mewtwo (M01)|Blastoisetwo}} used {{m|Rapid Spin}}, and [[Raymond]]'s {{p|Donphan}} (itself a Pokémon not yet available) used {{m|Rollout}}.
* Other than [[Corey]], [[Fergus]], and [[Neesha]], a female fourth {{pkmn|Trainer}} takes off from the pier on the back of a Fearow. She is seen flying Fearow while Fergus and Neesha ride their {{p|Gyarados}} and {{p|Dewgong}}. She likely never made it to New Island, unlike the others.
** She is the only character who leaves for New Island but never appears again. Mewtwo wipes the memories of everyone on New Island and transports them back to the mainland (except for Team Rocket), but this Trainer completely disappears.
* Of the Pokémon seen at the gathering, only [[Misty's Togepi]] was not captured and cloned by Mewtwo due to {{an|Misty}} hiding it in her [[bag|backpack]].
* Though Mewtwo owned a cloned {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Charizard}}, and {{p|Blastoise}}, they were not cloned from the Trainers' Pokémon. They were supposedly cloned from Pokémon Mewtwo had previously acquired itself. Despite this, all three of the Trainers' Pokémon were captured by Mewtwo anyway.
** These three Pokémon are the fully-evolved forms of {{DL|Mewtwo (M01)|Befriended|Mewtwo's childhood friends}}, who died when Mewtwo was young.
* This is the only movie that does not feature Ash on the English cover.
* In Japan, this movie (paired with the ''Pikachu's Vacation'' short) was released on {{wp|LaserDisc}}, being the only Pokémon media to be released on this medium.
* The North American VHS release features an introduction to the tape's contents by {{an|Professor Oak}}, utilizing footage from [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Lecture|his lecture]] on Alakazam from [[EP066]].
* Despite the English [[dub]] using the ''kanzenban'' footage, the opening of the original North American DVD release uses a hand-drawn shot of the big doors opening.
* The title of this movie is also used in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-zJOntZRHo Mewtwo's trailer] for [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]].
* The [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b70GRNYnacI movie's first trailer] showed several prominent scenes that never appear in the final cut. Most notable were scenes of Ash fleeing an explosion, a woman who looks like Misty accompanying {{OBP|Miranda|M01}} and a younger character, and {{TRT}} standing on a warship.
** Largely because of the close resemblance, as well as {{AP|Pikachu}} being present, it was initially speculated that the woman in the trailer was an adult Misty. However, this was confirmed to be false by Kunihiko Yuyama during the 2019 Pokémon Anime Expo premiere of [[M22|the movie's remake]]. Instead, the woman was designed specifically for the trailer, and her resemblance to Misty was purely coincidental.
* On the 23rd anniversary of the movie's release, [[Masahiro Sakurai]] posted an image to Twitter homaging the scene of Pikachutwo slapping Pikachu and mentioning the scene always made him cry. <ref>https://twitter.com/Sora_Sakurai/status/1416593567519154178</ref>

===Errors===
[[File:Flameless Rapidash.png|thumb|200px|Flameless Rapidash]]
* {{p|Machamp}} being sent out by Raymond is shown twice.
* Ash doesn't choose {{AP|Squirtle}}.
* Early in the movie, Pikachu defeats Raymond's {{p|Golem}} with {{m|Thunderbolt}}, which should have had no effect because Golem is a {{type|Ground}}.
* Mewtwo is colored pink as it begins creating the storm. In a later shot of Mewtwo intensifying the storm, its color is corrected.
[[File:Old Shore Wharf crowd comparison.png|thumb|200px|Fergus and Corey's backpacks shrink. Also, the top image shows the fourth Trainer who left for New Island.]]
* In two very similar shots at the beginning and end of the movie, as [[Officer Jenny]] warns the Trainers about the storm, the backpacks of [[Corey]] and [[Fergus]] drastically shrink in size.
* When Fergus releases his Gyarados into the water to ride on its back, its lips are blue instead of yellow.
* When Jenny's hat flies off, the loops of Miranda's earrings are completely colored in.
* In the English dub, three Pokémon are referred to by the wrong name. {{p|Pidgeot}} is called {{p|Pidgeotto}}, {{p|Scyther}} is called {{p|Alakazam}}, and {{p|Sandslash}} is called {{p|Sandshrew}}. In the audio commentary, [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] stated that they decided to leave the Alakazam error as something for the children watching to notice and because they felt it was plausible that Team Rocket could make a mistake. This was cut out for the dub of the remastered version when it was aired on Cartoon Network, but restored when it was re-released on Pokémon TV.
** In addition, the closed captioning for the re-release and on Pokémon TV have Corey correctly referring to his Pokémon as a Pidgeot.
* Fergus states that all of his Pokémon are {{t|Water}} types in the English dub, but he also has a {{p|Nidoqueen}}, a {{2t|Poison|Ground}}-type Pokémon.
* While Ash is looking at Fergus's Pokémon in the dub, his Japanese voice can be faintly heard over the voice of the Pokémon.
* When Fergus runs over to his injured Gyarados, his Nidoqueen has the color scheme of a {{p|Nidoking}}.
* Right before Ash charges at Mewtwo, one frame shows {{p|Rapidash}} without its flames. This was fixed in later releases.
* In the shot after Corey shows his Pokémon to Ash and his friends, Ash's pupils are entirely brown instead of mostly black with some brown.
* When the clones enter with an explosion and emerge from the smoke, [[Pikachutwo]]'s black-tipped ears are the same as a normal {{p|Pikachu}}'s and Golduck is greenish teal instead of blue.
* Pikachutwo's cheek pouches surge with electricity even though Mewtwo blocked the Pokémon's special abilities.
** However, the Japanese dialogue says nothing about the Pokémon's abilities being blocked, and they simply clash physically out of pure hatred.
* In {{pmin|South Asia|India}}, Hungama TV used the original Japanese version of this movie as a source for the Hindi dub, instead of using the English dub as is done for the episodes of the anime, resulting in several dubbing errors:
** In ''[[The Uncut Story of Mewtwo's Origin]]'', {{p|Charmander}}'s Japanese voice can be heard.
** In one scene, a Trainer calls his {{p|Kingler}} with an unknown name.
** In another scene, Neesha calls her {{p|Blastoise}} by its Japanese name, ''Kamex''.
** In the cloning scene, {{MTR}} says "{{p|Chikorita}}" when speaking about {{p|Vaporeon}}.
** When Meowth talks with the clone Meowth, one line in human language was said by the clone Meowth despite the fact that the clone Meowth can't speak the human language.
[[File:M01 ENG Bluray Credits error.JPEG|thumb|200px|Typo listing Billy Crawford as "Bolly Crawford" in the HD remastered version]]
* The retyped ending credits for the English dub of the remastered version misspell [[Don't Say You Love Me]] as Don't Say '''Your''' Love Me and accidentally list '''Bolly Crawford''' instead of Billy Crawford as the singer of the opening song.
* On the DVD scene selection, {{p|Togepi}} is listed as Pokémon {{p|Chikorita|#152}}. However, prior to the release of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, Togepi had been given #152 in other media as well.
* In the Swedish dub, when [[Jessie]] comments on Meowth's hair being cloned, her voice is computerized like the machine that speaks afterwards.

===Dub edits===
* The message and themes of the movie were changed in the English dub. The Japanese version explores ethical themes of existensialism, whereas the English dub replaces it with an anti-violence message. This was explained by Takeshi Shudo in his blog.<ref>http://www.style.fm/as/05_column/shudo183.shtml</ref>
* Mewtwo's personality and goal are different between the original version and the English dub. In the English dub, Mewtwo is more boastful about its powers and certain about superiority to Mew and wants to destroy the world with a hurricane it created to get revenge on humanity. In the original version, Mewtwo is instead portrayed as a confused being who questions its worth as a clone.
* Giovanni was never mentioned by the scientists in the laboratory in the original version, and all the references to him were added in the English dub.
* There was no alarm sounding during Mewtwo's awakening in the Japanese version.
* The dialogue in the scene where {{an|Dr. Fuji}} tells Mewtwo about its origins was altered in the English dub. In the original version, Mewtwo asks if Mew is its mother or father, and when Dr. Fuji tells that neither "yes" or "no" would be a wrong answer, it asks if it was created by {{wp|God in Christianity|God}}. To this, Dr. Fuji replies that in this world, the only ones capable of creating life are God and humans, and Mewtwo was created through human science.
** In addition, the Japanese version had the scientists shortly before Mewtwo's rampage merely congratulating themselves on a job well done with Mewtwo's creation. The English dub had added references to creating a new tank and implying that they'll stuff Mewtwo in a cage until the tank's ready, presumably to make the scientists less sympathetic before they were killed by their creation.
* While Giovanni tells Mewtwo about seeing it as a valuable partner in the English dub, in the Japanese version, he tells it that there is something even stronger than it in this world, to which Mewtwo replies, "Humans?" receiving a nod of approval from Giovanni.
* Giovanni denies that Mewtwo's armor is meant to suppress its powers in the English dub, stating that it is rather meant to "focus" them. In the original Japanese, Giovanni says that Mewtwo's job is to fight for Team Rocket.
* In the scene of Mewtwo alone in Giovanni's headquarters, no dialogue was originally heard. In the English dub, Mewtwo thinks about its purpose.
* In the original release for the movie, Raymond's Machamp is shown coming out of its {{i|Poké Ball}} twice. It is unknown whether this was mistakenly repeated or intentionally done for dynamic effect, but it would seem to be a mistake as this was corrected when the digitally remastered version came out.
* When Meowth complains about his hunger, Jessie takes out a frying pan and states that she could cook something, to which Meowth replies "Thanks, but the last time you cooked, you took out eight of my nine lives." In the Japanese version, Jessie simply points out that she has a frying pan, to which Meowth replies that without meat and vegetables, it is nothing more than an iron pan.
* Miranda's story about the power of Pokémon tears to revive people only exists in the English version. Originally, she only says that the storm is the greatest she has ever seen.
* During the opening song after {{AP|Bulbasaur}} defeats Raymond's Donphan, Ash's mouth moves. He says nothing in the Japanese version, while in the English dub, there is a dialogue.
* In the original Japanese version, Ash and {{an|Brock}} comment that they are fortunate that a boat appeared. In various dubs, this was changed to a reference to vikings:
** In the English dub, when Team Rocket are disguised as Vikings, Brock says he was not aware that they existed anymore. Ash replies that they mostly live in {{wp|Minnesota}}, a reference to the {{wp|Minnesota Vikings}} {{wp|National Football League|NFL}} team.
** In the {{pmin|Denmark|Danish version}}, Brock says "''Jeg vidste ikke at vikingerne stadig fandtes.''" ("I didn't know that the Vikings still existed."), and Ash replies "''Jo, men de turnerer mest i Sverige.''" ("Yes, but they are mostly touring in Sweden.") This is probably a reference to the fact that at the time {{wp|Vikings}} existed, the Danes were also Vikings.
*** In the Danish subtitles, Ash says "''Vikingerne er et band.''" ("The Vikings is a band.") This is likely a reference to The Vikings, an old Swedish band.
** In the {{pmin|Sweden|Swedish}} dub, Brock says "''Jag visste inte att vikingar fortfarande existerade.''" ("I didn't know that the Vikings still existed.") and Ash replies "''Jo, men de hänger mest i Norge.''" ("Yes, but they mostly hang out in Norway"). Real Vikings existed in both Sweden and Norway.
*** Additionally, when Jessie poses as a Viking, she speaks with a fake Norwegian accent, adding the stereotypical word ''akkurat'', meaning "correct" in Norwegian, at the end of her sentence.
** In the {{pmin|Poland|Polish}} dub, Ash replies that the Vikings mostly live in {{wp|Scandinavia}}.
* In the {{pmin|France|French}} dub, [[Misty's Staryu]] makes no sound when it is released from its Poké Ball. In all other versions of the movie, Staryu's voice can be heard twice.
* In the {{pmin|Latin America}}n dub, Corey is referred to as [[Gary Oak]].
* When Mewtwo first speaks to the gathered Trainers via its caretaker, the Japanese version has Misty remarking on its voice in shock, with Brock directly stating that its using telepathy to communicate. The English dub merely has Misty directly asking how Mewtwo is able to speak, with Brock merely stating that it is "psychic" without directly confirming its use of telepathy.
* In the English dub, the Pokémon Replication System switches between a female computer voice and the recorded voice of Dr. Fuji. In the original version, Dr. Fuji's is the only voice.
** In the English dub, Dr. Fuji's message was made to sound like it was being recorded while Mewtwo was destroying the laboratory, with the sounds of explosions and screaming occasionally heard at the background. This is not the case in the Japanese version.
* During the match between [[Ash's Charizard]] and the clone {{p|Charizard}}, in the Japanese version, Mewtwo tells the clone to use {{m|Seismic Toss}}, while in the English dub, it just tells the clone to "finish it" without specifying a [[move]].
* Shortly before the clones appear in the arena, Mewtwo originally offers to let the Trainers go, on the condition that they can get through its storm. In the English dub, Mewtwo only tells them it'll spare their lives for the moment, leaving the reason why it then opens the doors out of the arena more unclear.
* When the clones emerge into the arena, Mewtwo was originally confused by their sudden appearance. In the English dub, Mewtwo proudly presents its clones, appearing to have somewhat expected their arrival.
* In the English dub, specifically during the speech Mew gives to Mewtwo, Mew says that shows of force prove nothing, and real strength comes from the heart; in the original Japanese version, Mew is much more bellicose, saying that only the original Pokémon are real, and no matter how much they fight, the real ones will never lose to copies.
* While the original and clone Pokémon battle, the background music is different in both versions: the Japanese version plays a variation of ''[[Pocket Monsters Original Soundtrack Best#Tracklist 2|Colossal Battle]]''{{tt|*|listed as 1997-1998＿M14}} followed by soft instrumental music, while the English version plays ''[[Brother My Brother]]'', a song promoting peace.
* The English script contains an anti-racism moral. Meowth, agreeing with his clone, says, "Maybe if we started looking at what's the same instead of always looking at what's different, well, who knows?" In the original version, Meowthtwo refuses to fight because it is pointless and harmful, opting instead to marvel at the full moon, which Meowth calls poetic.
* When Pikachu is repeatedly shocking Ash to try to bring him back to life, Misty says "Pikachu..." in the Japanese version, and "Please, no..." in the English version. A commentary revealed that the dubbers had many alternatives for this piece of dialogue, one example being the facetious "My [[Bicycle#Trivia|bike]]..."
* Mewtwo says much less at the end of the original version, telling Mew that these events are best forgotten, and only saying to Ash that the clones will live somewhere in the {{pkmn|world}}.
* In the English dub, after being returned back to the port, Brock admires how beautiful [[Nurse Joy]] and [[Officer Jenny]] are. In the original Japanese version of the movie, Brock is admiring Miranda as well.
* [[James]] and Meowth originally said nothing just before the credits rolled.
* {{pmin|South Asia|Hungama TV}}'s Hindi dub used the original Japanese version of the movie. As such, characters that had not appeared in the main series, such as {{an|Amber}}, kept their Japanese names.
* In the {{pmin|Russia}}n dub, the English ending themes are replaced with instrumental music from the American soundtrack.

==Just A Heads Up==
The celebration may end up being changed to "World Ash Ketchum Day" next year owing to the suggestion of Veronica Taylor. https://twitter.com/TheVeronicaT/status/1306024425561620480

[[User:Pikatwig|Pikatwig]] ([[User talk:Pikatwig|talk]]) 22:05, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
: We'll wait and see how it turns out next year. Till then, it's fine. [[User:Adil|'''Adil''']] — [[User talk:Adil|'''Talk page''']] 22:29, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

== Temporary Lock of Page ==

I am suggesting this as the person who had originally created the idea for the day has been outed as a sexual predator. I simply think it might be good to give this page a temporary lock down so as to prevent people from vandalizing it.

{{StrategyWiki}}
'''New Pokémon Snap''' (Japanese: '''New ポケモンスナップ''' ''New Pokémon Snap'') is a spin-off Pokémon game for the [[Nintendo Switch]]. It is a sequel to the original [[Pokémon Snap]] for the [[Nintendo 64]]. The game was released worldwide on April 30, 2021, and is playable in nine languages: Japanese, English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Korean, Simplified and Traditional Chinese.

It was announced during [[Pokémon Press Conference|Pokémon Presents]] on June 17, 2020.

==Gameplay==
The {{player}} is asked by [[Professor Mirror]] to [[photography|photograph]] Pokémon in their natural habitats across [[Lental]], an archipelago region with a variety of different ecosystems. The professor and his assistant {{OBP|Rita|New Pokémon Snap}} guide the player across the islands of Lental and inform about the research team's ecological survey. {{OBP|Phil|New Pokémon Snap}}, a boy who recently arrived in Lental and has a rivaling relation toward the player, also joins the research team.

When arriving at a research site, the [[NEO-ONE]] vehicle will automatically steer along the route, allowing for the player to take photos in all directions. There are various tools available that interact with the environment. [[Fluffruit]] can be used to catch the attention of nearby Pokémon. Additionally, the player can use Illumina orbs, items developed by Professor Mirror and related to the Illumina phenomenon unique to the Lental region. Illumina orbs can sometimes create unusual effects, such as changing the color of fire that Pokémon emit to blue instead of red. The player also has the option to play a melody (Japanese: '''メロディ''') and search the surroundings (Japanese: '''サーチ'''). As courses are being researched, their research level  increases, allowing for Pokémon to exhibit different expressions and behaviors.

Pictures of Lental's wild Pokémon are evaluated with one to four stars by Professor Mirror, indicating how rare the behavior displayed is. One picture from each star category can be added to the corresponding page of the [[Photodex]], an album designed to display photos and additional information of wild Pokémon. Photos taken during expeditions can also be saved to a personal album that is distinct from the Photodex. These photos can be edited in terms of brightness, blur, zoom, and other aspects, or added stickers, frames, and filters. With a [[Nintendo Switch Online]] membership, photos can also be shared online, and awarded '''Sweet! Medals''' (Japanese: '''りんごメダル''' ''Apple Medal'') by other players.

==Pokémon==
The game is set to feature 218 different {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:Lycanroc Snap quiz.png|300px|thumb]]
*The [https://explorelental.nintendo.com official New Pokémon Snap website] erroneously states {{p|Lycanroc}} has two forms rather than three. However, this could be because only the two standard forms are available in the game, as stated on the page after the quiz.
* According to the game's director, Haruki Suzaki, there had been past attempts to make a ''Pokémon Snap'' sequel. <ref>https://metro.co.uk/2021/04/14/new-pokemon-snap-interview-take-beautiful-photos-of-pokemon-14406270/</ref>

Incineroar (Super Smash Bros.)

'''Incineroar''' (Japanese: '''ガオガエン''' ''Gaogaen'') is a playable character in the [[Super Smash Bros. series]].

==[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]==
[[File:727Incineroar Dream 2.png|150px|thumb|Alternate Fighter Spirit artwork of Incineroar in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]]]
Incineroar is an unlockable character in Ultimate. It poses after landing attacks to show off, but the poses can easily be cancelled into guards and other attacks. Incineroar is among the slowest-moving characters, with its grounded mobility in particular being the absolute slowest in the game. This is compensated with an excellent set of throw attacks, as well as many of its other attacks being surprisingly fast despite their high power, with several attacks such as Darkest Lariat having transcendent priority. Being a {{type|Fire}}, it takes continuous damage while swimming, a trait it shares with {{SSB|Charizard}}, {{ink|Inkling}}s, and {{sbw|Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic}}.

When Incineroar pulls off certain attacks, it'll pose for the crowd if it hits, or react in anger if it misses. These poses can be cancelled out to avoid being left open.

===Classic Mode===
Incineroar's {{sbw|Classic Mode}} route is called '''Burning Pro Wrestling Spirit!''' In this scenario, Incineroar fights other heavyweight characters in a tournament-style scenario. All rounds except the final and bonus round take place in the {{sbw|Boxing Ring}}.

Its last boss is {{sbw|Master Hand}}, who is joined by {{sbw|Crazy Hand}} if the player reaches the fight at {{sbw|Difficulty|intensity}} 7.0 or higher.

=={{sbw|Smash Taunt}} information==
==={{sbw|Palutena's Guidance}}===
*'''{{ip|Pit}}:''' Ha! That tiger's on fire.
*'''{{ip|Palutena}}:''' How astute of you, Pit. That's Incineroar. Before it evolved into this form, it was a cute little Litten. Incineroar is unpredictable, self-centered, and rambunctious. Although it's supposedly great with children.
*'''{{ip|Viridi}}:''' It specializes in wrestling moves. Brute force is its M.O., but it's no slouch in the technical department either.
*'''Palutena:''' Incineroar is also a performer at heart, so when it lands a big attack, it likes to show off for the crowd.
*'''Pit:''' Now that you mention it, I do hear crowd cheers sometimes. It's almost like an audience is watching us fight.
*'''Palutena:''' Incineroar has an attack called Revenge that feels like it was inspired by pro wrestling. If Incineroar takes damage while Revenge is active, its body ignites, and its attacks become more powerful!
*'''Pit:''' If that happens, I'll just let everyone else fight Incineroar until it wears off. Then I'll swoop in and steal the KO!
*'''Viridi:''' Sure, if you wanna be THAT guy. Might as well edge guard while you're at it.

==Trivia==
* Incineroar's original move, Alolan Whip, is based on the {{wp|Professional wrestling throws#Irish whip|Irish whip}}, a move in professional wrestling.
* [[Unshō Ishizuka]], the Japanese voice actor for {{an|Professor Oak}}, provided the Japanese voice for Incineroar in Ultimate before his unexpected death on August 13, 2018. Ishizuka recorded all of his voice clips for the game before his death.<ref>https://nintendosoup.com/incineroar-was-voiced-by-the-now-deceased-professor-oak-voice-actor/</ref>
* Incineroar was largely added in because Masahiro Sakurai had never done a wrestling fighter before, and also because, as [[Pokémon Sun & Moon]] were nearing release at the time Ultimate was nearing the end of development, a character from that game was reserved for the remaining spot so Sakurai could have at least one character from a more recent game included. Because of this, Incineroar is the only non-DLC character in Ultimate to not be part of the original draft for the game written on December 2015.<ref>https://twitter.com/AllSourceGaming/status/1062726902341746691</ref><ref>https://www.sourcegaming.info/2018/12/12/sakurai-tells-more-details-about-smash-ultimates-development/</ref> Both Incineroar and {{p|Decidueye}} were considered for inclusion in Ultimate, but the latter was passed over in favor of Incineroar owing to Sakurai wanting a unique combat style based around a wrestler.<ref>https://www.eurogamer.net/amp/2019-01-21-super-smash-bros-ultimate-nearly-featured-decidueye-instead-of-incineroar</ref>
* All of Incineroar's moves are [[Physical moves|Physical attack]]s. This makes it the only Pokémon whose moves are all under one [[Damage category]]. While Ivysaur's Specials are also Physical, it uses {{m|Solar Beam}} for its [[Final Smash]].

'''Ash's Charizard''' (Japanese: '''サトシのリザードン''' ''Satoshi's Lizardon'') was the fourth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Kanto]] [[region]], and his fifth overall.

====History====
=====[[Original series]]=====
======Kanto======
[[File:Damian Charmander.png|thumb|250px|left|As a Charmander, with Damian]]
;With Damian
Charmander originally belonged to a boastful {{pkmn|Trainer}} named [[Damian]]. However, in ''[[EP011|Charmander - The Stray Pokémon]]'', Damian grew tired of Charmander being weak, and so he abandoned it, leaving it on a rocky outcrop and telling it that he would come back later. Charmander's health deteriorated, but it was able to resist capture by {{Ash}} twice before explaining to {{AP|Pikachu}} that it was waiting for Damian. Later, Ash met Damian and learned that he never planned to return for Charmander. Outraged but mostly concerned for Charmander, who was now stuck out in the rain loyally awaiting Damian, {{an|Brock}}, Ash, and {{an|Misty}} rushed to its rescue, with Brock carrying it to the [[Pokémon Center]] while Ash sheltered the little remaining tail flame with his coat.

Despite the care shown to it, Charmander was unwilling to remain at the Pokémon Center and returned to the rock where it had been staying. However, it came across {{TRT}}, who had stolen Pikachu. Charmander ordered them to return Pikachu, and when they ignored it, it blasted them with Flamethrower to send them running away, leaving behind Pikachu. Ash invited Charmander to join them, but Damian turned up with a bunch of Poké Balls and said that he had abandoned Charmander on purpose to toughen it up. Damian threw a Poké Ball at it, but Charmander deflected the Ball in defiance. Having seen Damian's character, Charmander staunchly refused to return, and when Damian threatened to crush it with all of his other Pokémon, it attacked Damian with a Flamethrower attack alongside Pikachu, who used {{m|Thunder Shock}}. Damian fled and Charmander happily joined Ash's team instead.

;With Ash
[[File:Ash Charmander.png|thumb|250px|As a Charmander]]
Charmander immediately became one of Ash's main Pokémon, being used in the [[EP012|very next episode]] as a torch to help Ash through the caves. Also, it joined with a group of other Charmander on the [[S.S. Anne|St. Anne]] in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'' to repel {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s. [[EP016|Later]], Charmander used Flamethrower to torch a hole in the capsized St. Anne's hull, allowing the group and Team Rocket to escape the ship.

In ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', Charmander battled a berserk {{AP|Primeape}}. It finally subdued its opponent by using {{m|Rage}} and Flamethrower. Charmander made its Gym Battle debut in [[EP026|the next episode]], where it defeated [[Erika]]'s {{p|Weepinbell}} after burning {{m|Razor Leaf}} and then striking a powerful Skull Bash. However, in the next round, the pure stench emitting from her {{p|Gloom}} caused Charmander to choke and faint. Ash called on Charmander's assistance against [[Koga]] in ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]''. It went up against Koga's {{p|Venomoth}} briefly before their match was interrupted by Team Rocket. For the official Gym battle, Charmander went up against [[Koga's Golbat]] and defeated it with Ember and Fire Spin, earning Ash the {{Badge|Soul}}.

The rise in Charmander's battle experience reached its peak in ''[[EP043|March of the Exeggutor Squad]]'', where it helped stop a large number of rampaging {{p|Exeggutor}}. Subsequently, Charmander [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Charmeleon}}. However, in ''[[EP044|The Problem with Paras]]'', it was revealed that Charmeleon was no longer [[obedience|loyal]] to Ash, attacking a {{p|Paras}} when Ash was trying to deliberately lose in order to help Paras evolve. [[Lacy (EP044)|Casandra's grandmother]] explained that Charmeleon's skill level had exceeded Ash's, and therefore it did not respect him. Ironically, a rampaging Charmeleon was stopped when Paras, desperately trying to avoid punishment, jabbed at it with a claw. After evolving into {{p|Parasect}}, it put Charmeleon to sleep with {{m|Spore}} and allowed Ash to recall it. Cassandra's grandmother warned Ash that he needed to learn to control Charmeleon.
[[File:Ash Charmeleon.png|thumb|250px|left|As a {{p|Charmeleon}}]]
Ash stopped using his disobedient Charmeleon but tried again in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' to repel wild Fossil Pokémon, which it refused to do. When an {{p|Aerodactyl}} swooped past, knocking Charmeleon over, Charmeleon attempted to fight back. It then jumped up and grabbed the escaping Aerodactyl's tail and followed it into the open air, but was soon shaken off. Upset, Charmeleon evolved into {{p|Charizard}} and flew after Aerodactyl to avenge its injured pride. When Jigglypuff began singing at Misty's request in a desperate attempt to save Ash, Charizard attempted to block out the sleep-bound effects of the song, to no avail. Nonetheless, it managed to catch Ash and put him on the ground before going to sleep, but unfortunately, retained its disobedience afterward.
[[File:Ash Charizard newly evolved.png|thumb|250px|As a newly evolved {{p|Charizard}}]]
Charizard's disobedience towards its Trainer began to cause Ash some serious problems during his {{pkmn|journey}}, losing the [[Cinnabar Gym]] battle against [[Blaine]] in ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', as it simply loafed off and allowed {{p|Rhydon}} an easy win after Charizard left the ring, causing Blaine to disqualify it from the match. In [[EP059|the next episode]], Charizard refused to help dam the volcano, but changed its mind after seeing Blaine's powerful {{TP|Blaine|Magmar}} contributing. After working together, the duo was left with a burning desire to test each other's strength. Blaine permitted a battle at the peak of the volcano, and the two seemed evenly matched. Magmar dropped Charizard into the lava, but Charizard regained the upper hand by dazing Magmar with an aerial Submission attack and then knocking it out with its powerful Seismic Toss.

The costliest incidence of Charizard's disobedience was in the battle against [[Ritchie]] during the [[Indigo Plateau Conference|Indigo League]] in ''[[EP079|Friend and Foe Alike]]''. Down to one Pokémon, Ash called Charizard into battle against [[Zippo]], and surprisingly decided to battle and force Zippo to flee from a far superior Flamethrower, causing Ritchie to recall it and concede the round. However, when [[Sparky]] came out, Charizard condescendingly stomped the ground and flapped its wings against the little Pikachu before going to sleep, refusing to battle. Due to this, Ash lost the round and Ritchie advanced to the next round.

While confronting {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}'s original clones of the three Kanto starters in their final evolutions during ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', Ash summoned Charizard to fight alongside [[Corey]]'s Bruteroot and [[Neesha]]'s Shellshocker against the clones, although not before Charizard, to Ash's surprise, attempted to preemptively attack Mewtwo. After Bruteroot and Shellshocker were quickly overpowered by their clones, Ash attempted to turn the tables by having Charizard focus on speed and evasion over raw power in its confrontation with the clone Charizard, but this strategy failed. Once Ash released the captured originals to confront the clones, Charizard battled the cloned Charizard once again but ended the battle to cry for Ash after his sacrifice to try and stop the battle between Mew and Mewtwo. After Mewtwo departed with Mew and the clones upon witnessing Ash's resurrection, it erased these actions from the memories of all people and Pokémon present, returning Charizard to its familiar disobedience.

======Orange Islands======
Ash took Charizard with him to the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]], despite its refusal to obey him. Ash had noticeably stopped trying to use it in battles, although in ''[[EP093|Navel Maneuvers]]'', Charizard, Pikachu, and Bulbasaur were used in the second round of the match between Ash and [[Danny]]. Charizard was initially unwilling to participate, and Danny nearly won. However, Charizard inadvertently helped when it tried to use Flamethrower on Ash but missed and carved an ice pillar into a sled. This meant Ash won the round and was able to continue the match.

In ''[[EP098|A Way Off Day Off]]'', although it did not obey Ash, Charizard recognized the wisdom and formidable experience that [[Tracey's Scyther]] had, and the two teamed up to defeat Team Rocket. Scyther was the only Pokémon in the group whom Charizard respected.

Charizard continued to ignore Ash during battles, such as in ''[[EP099|The Mandarin Island Miss Match]]''. Charizard took down a boy's {{p|Tauros}} with a single attack, before flying away and rampaging the city. Ash was unable to recall it and only the intervention of [[Lorelei|Prima]] and her {{p|Slowbro}} using {{m|Disable}} allowed Ash to stop Charizard.
[[File:Ash Charizard frozen.png|thumb|250px|left|Being taken care of by Ash]]
In ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'', Charizard battled [[Tad]]'s {{p|Poliwrath}}. It blatantly refused to listen to Ash's commands, continuing to use Flamethrower despite it having no effect on Poliwrath. Tad and Poliwrath resisted all of them until Poliwrath responded with a {{m|Water Gun}} that nearly doused the flame on Charizard's tail. It was then encased in ice by Poliwrath's {{m|Ice Beam}}, much to Ash's horror. Ash managed to smash the ice encasing Charizard's head, and Tad walked away scornfully, telling Ash that they would have a rematch when he could control Charizard. Ash lit a fire and thawed Charizard out, before rubbing Charizard all over to help it regain its body heat. Pikachu pointed out that Ash's hands were rubbed raw, but Ash replied that he didn't mind, and redoubled his efforts upon seeing that Charizard's tail flame was so small. Charizard woke up in a panic and tried to attack, but it was so cold that it could not produce a flame and passed out again. Misty provided a blanket and Tracey kept the fires up while Pikachu watched the flame, but Ash himself worked throughout the entire night to help Charizard recover.

The selfless act reminded Charizard of everything Ash had done for it since it was a Charmander. By morning, Charizard's respect and loyalty to Ash had returned, and it helped Ash rescue Pikachu from Team Rocket. Ash and Pikachu were briefly knocked out during the rescue, and Charizard became so incensed it learned Dragon Rage. In a rematch with Tad and Poliwrath, Charizard learned to dodge Ice Beam and knocked Poliwrath into the air before defeating it with Seismic Toss.

It later aided Ash in trying to save the Earth in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' due to [[Lawrence III]]'s riling up the three legendary birds to fight each other in order to summon Lugia, including using his flamethrower to blast Moltres's cage alongside Pikachu, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur, as well as Jessie's Arbok and James's Weezing, and even coming out of its Pokéball with the other Pokémon on Ash's team at the time to encourage him to fulfill his prophesized role. Charizard alongside Squirtle and Pikachu then proceeded to aid Ash by pulling a makeshift sled composed of the door to Professor Oak's downed chopper, also blasting Moltres' flamethrower with its own. However, it alongside Squirtle were ultimately forced to [[Recall|return]] to its Poke Ball after the three legendary birds proceeded to create a rift in the ice that left it impossible for Ash to cross.

It participated in Ash's Gym battle against [[Luana]] in ''[[EP108|Double Trouble]]''. It fought Luana's {{p|Alakazam}} and {{p|Marowak}} alongside Ash's Pikachu in the series' first official [[Double Battle]]. The two Pokémon initially had trouble collaborating, but eventually managed to work together: Pikachu helped to free Charizard from Alakazam's {{m|Psychic}} attack and Charizard caught Pikachu after it was hit by Marowak's {{m|Body Slam}} attack. Charizard's skillful flying caused Marowak and Alakazam to knock each other out, earning Ash the Jade Star Badge.

Charizard was also used in Ash's Orange League battle against {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}} in ''[[EP112|Enter the Dragonite]]''. Charizard defeated Drake's {{p|Electabuzz}} by blocking its electricity with Fire Spin and knocking it out with Seismic Toss. It also fought {{TP|Drake|Dragonite}}, but was hit by a powerful {{m|Water Gun}} and then {{m|slam}}med into the ground. After a clash of Dragon Rages, Charizard fainted, but its attacks had begun to wear Dragonite down, paving the way for Pikachu to finish it off and give Ash the victory. Charizard was inducted into the Orange Islands Hall of Fame with Ash's other Pokémon.

======Johto======
[[File:ValleyShipping.png|thumb|250px|With Charla]]
Charizard also accompanied Ash on his journey to the [[Johto]] region, although it became apparent that it was unfairly superior to most of Ash's early competition. This was shown especially in ''[[EP118|The Double Trouble Header]]'', where Charizard easily defeated all three of {{an|Casey}}'s Pokémon, despite the disapproval of Misty and Brock. Team Rocket later capitulated on Casey's frustration, calling Charizard an illegal choice by Ash.

Charizard was used to weaken and help Ash capture a {{AP|Chikorita}} in ''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue]]''. Its massive size compared to her came into effect when Chikorita ran towards it and tried to attack, Charizard responding by placing its foot out and blowing a small puff of fire after being instructed by Ash to only weaken her. Charizard's puff of fire ended up on Chikorita's single leaf and caused her to run around for a short amount of time before using {{m|Vine Whip}} to attack Charizard. Charizard was recalled by Ash after it and Chikorita fell into a large canvas of rocks.

In ''[[EP131|Fighting Flyer with Fire]]'', it participated in Ash's first Johto Gym battle against [[Falkner]], where it battled Falkner's {{p|Pidgeot}}. Due to the latter's impressive {{stat|Speed}}, Charizard started at a disadvantage, with Pidgeot's {{m|Whirlwind}} reflecting its Flamethrower back onto it. It was then knocked back down by a combination of Wing Attack and {{m|Quick Attack}}. Falkner told Ash to surrender but Ash refused and Charizard gained the strength to fight back and fly above Quick Attack. Charizard then baited Pidgeot, spinning around in midair when Pidgeot flew behind it and hitting it with Fire Spin, before seizing it and hurling it into the ground with Seismic Toss. Pidgeot was knocked out and Ash won the Zephyr Badge.

In ''[[EP134|Charizard's Burning Ambitions]]'', Misty criticized Ash for using Charizard too often against fresh young Trainers, making him unbeatable but in an unfair way. Ash then met {{Jo|Liza}}, who taught Ash and Charizard how to fly together. After arriving in the [[Charicific Valley]], Charizard was humiliated by Liza's insults and proudly tried to show off its power, but was shown to be smaller and weaker than the wild Charizard who lived there. Charizard continued to pick fights and kept getting itself beaten until Liza locked them out of the Valley, having [[Charla]] throw Charizard into the lake and telling it and Ash to stay away until they had trained and reflected. Team Rocket sympathized with Charizard and helped it to stay awake in the lake, as well as making a false attempt to break into the Valley, allowing Charizard to defeat them and win acclaim from Liza, Charla, and the wild Charizard. Facing an emotional battle, Ash told Charizard that he did not want a weakling on his team and he would be fine without it, forcing Charizard to stay at the Valley to train and become more powerful. He then ran away from the Valley, knowing that if he stopped, he would not be able to say goodbye. Pikachu wished Charizard well and followed Ash, leaving its teammate and friend behind.

During its time in the Charicific Valley, Charizard took the role of Charla's bodyguard, and the two seem to have a sort of [[ValleyShipping|romantic relationship]] with each other. Liza occasionally visited the [[Dragon Holy Land]] in [[Blackthorn City]] with the two Charizard. One such visit was in ''[[EP253|Great Bowls of Fire!]]'', which coincidentally occurred when Ash was there for his final [[Johto]] Gym battle. Charizard helped Ash, [[Clair]], Pikachu and {{TP|Clair|Dragonair}} calm the wild {{p|Dragonite}} that was rampaging in the Dragon Holy Land.

In ''[[EP254|Better Eight Than Never]]'', Charizard battled against Clair's Dragonair in Ash's [[rematch]]. It caused the water in the Gym's pool to evaporate with its Flamethrower and Fire Spin, thus depriving Dragonair of her protection. It then caught Dragonair with Seismic Toss and used Fire Spin to create a flaming twister to wear down Dragonair's defenses before she hit the ground and was knocked out. Ash surprised Liza by sending it back for training, knowing that Charizard still had a lot to learn.
[[File:Ash and Charizard.png|thumb|left|250px|Charizard and Ash]]
Ash later used Charizard in the [[Silver Conference]] during his fight against [[Gary Oak]] in ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]'', as Brock had made a late night call to Liza requesting Charizard for the battle. [[Gary's Blastoise]] and {{p|Scizor}} cut Ash's team down to only Charizard, who had to fight three opponents single-handedly. It managed to match Scizor's speed and took advantage of its significant type advantage, defeating Scizor with a single Flamethrower. Despite Golem's weight preventing Charizard from using its Seismic Toss, Charizard overcame it with a powerful Dragon Rage. Charizard struggled against Gary's Blastoise, as it had supreme defensive capabilities and could keep Charizard at bay with Hydro Pump. Thinking outside the box, Ash told Charizard to superheat the field, which forced Blastoise to spend time cooling the molten rock. This created a huge steam cloud and allowed Charizard to seize Blastoise at close range. Blastoise could still use {{m|Withdraw}} to dodge Dragon Rage, so Charizard hurled Blastoise into the ground with Seismic Toss, defeating it and leaving Ash as the winner.

Charizard was then used in Ash's fight against {{jo|Harrison}} in ''[[EP271|Playing with Fire!]]'', where it went up against [[Harrison's Blaziken]]. Charizard's aerial advantage was negated by Blaziken's powerful legs and ability to maneuver in midair. Each Pokémon hit hard blows on the other, and their Flamethrowers were shown to be equal in power. Blaziken even managed to get up after a devastating Seismic Toss, while Charizard took a {{m|Blaze Kick}} to the neck and continued on. A fiery clash between Flamethrower and Dragon Rage knocked both Pokémon down, but only Blaziken could get up, eliminating Ash from the tournament. Charizard once again returned to Charicific Valley, and it was later revealed that it had injured Blaziken so badly that Harrison had to rest his primary battler in the next round, which contributed to his later loss.

=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''=====
In ''[[AG136|The Symbol Life]]'', it returned for Ash's first {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} battle, where it took on [[Noland's Articuno]] at the {{gdis|Battle Factory|III}}. Ash and Charizard flew together, where Charizard demonstrated a far improved Flamethrower and that it had learned {{m|Dragon Breath}}. In battle, it showed that it was a match even for the Legendary Pokémon, using Flamethrower to burn through {{m|Ice Beam}} and strike Articuno. However, Articuno did not take much damage from Flamethrower or Dragon Breath, blinding Charizard with {{m|Mist}} and then knocking it to the ground with {{m|Steel Wing}}. Articuno then inflicted serious damage with {{m|Water Pulse}} and froze Charizard's wing tip, crippling its movements. Finally, Charizard used Overheat, which it had just learned, to melt the ice, then it caught Articuno as it tried to use Steel Wing and struck with a Seismic Toss. Charizard collapsed, but managed to get up just as Articuno passed out, giving Ash and Charizard the victory.

Charizard also battled alongside Pikachu, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle in a four-on-four battle against {{an|Brandon}}'s Pokémon in ''[[AG189|Gathering the Gang of Four!]]''. It went up against {{p|Dusclops}}. Charizard had been training since its battle with Articuno and learned Steel Wing, but was put at a disadvantage when Dusclops used {{m|Confuse Ray}} and {{m|Mean Look}}, forcing Charizard to keep battling in its baffled state, all the while taking damage from {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}. Finally, Charizard snapped out of its confusion and attacked with Dragon Breath, wearing both Pokémon down. However, an attempt to use Seismic Toss to finish the match cost Ash dearly, as the {{type|Ghost}} simply dissipated and re-emerged safely at a distance, where a single {{m|Shadow Punch}} took Charizard out and put Ash at a supreme disadvantage. However, Pikachu, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle managed to win the battle and the Brave Symbol. After the match against Brandon, Charizard returned to Charicific Valley.

=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''=====
======Unova======
[[File:Pikachu and Charizard.png|thumb|250px|Charizard reuniting with Pikachu]]
In ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]'', Ash and {{ashfr}} attended a [[Kanto Fair]], where one of the presentations featured the local [[starter Pokémon]], involving a live action show with a Charmander. This made Ash remember his own Charmander, prompting him to tell {{an|Iris}}, {{an|Cilan}}, and {{an|N}} about his Charizard. Filled with a desire to see his old friend again, Ash called Professor Oak, who, in exchange for [[Ash's Unfezant]], sent Charizard over to him. While being introduced to Iris, Cilan, N, and their Pokémon, Charizard immediately started a fiery rivalry with [[Iris's Dragonite]], which encouraged Ash and Iris to have a battle with their two stubborn Pokémon. During the battle, Charizard was shown to have learned Wing Attack, Slash, and Dragon Tail. It quickly gained the upper hand as not even Dragonite's Dragon Rush was able to hurt it, while Dragonite was taking serious damage from Charizard's Dragon Tail. Before it could be settled, the battle was called off by N. Ash then corrected Iris's misconception that Charizard was a {{type|Dragon}}, upsetting her since she had wanted to train one as well.

In ''[[BW117|Team Plasma's Pokémon Manipulation!]]'', it was called out by Ash in order to once again fight Iris's Dragonite, who was this time being controlled by [[Colress]].

In ''[[BW119|Meowth, Colress and Team Rivalry!]]'', Charizard was called out to help [[Ash's Pignite]], which had difficulty breathing through his nostrils because something was blocking it. Charizard lifted him up into the air and tossed him to help, but it did not work. Eventually, the blockage was removed, much to everyone's delight.

Later, in ''[[BW121|Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!]]'', Charizard was sent out alongside the rest of Ash's team to help Ash and N dig up to the surface of the {{an|White Ruins}} after they had fallen into a pit. Charizard cleverly improvised a spinning Dragon Tail to help {{AP|Krookodile}} {{m|dig}} through the earth that {{AP|Oshawott}} had softened with {{m|Hydro Pump}}. While battling Team Plasma again, Charizard withstood many of Team Plasma's attacks before Pignite came to its aid. The two then launched an incredibly powerful double Flamethrower at Team Plasma's Pokémon. However, when Colress turned his mind control machine on them, Charizard was quickly recalled to its Poké Ball along with Ash's other Pokémon.

======Decolore Islands======
In ''[[BW136|A Pokémon of a Different Color!]],'' Charizard and Iris's Dragonite set off to search for Clair's Dragonite, who had been separated from Clair on an [[Cave Island|island]] in the Decolore Archipelago. After Iris's Dragonite found Clair's, Charizard brought the group over to them, only to find the pair squabbling. Although Charizard attempted to stop the fighting, the two Dragonite knocked it away. Later on, Charizard continued to unsuccessfully act as a peacemaker. Ash eventually thanked it for trying and returned Charizard to its Poké Ball.

In ''[[BW141|Best Wishes Until We Meet Again!]]'', Charizard, along with all of Ash's Pokémon, was stolen by Team Rocket. Later, after recovering all of their Pokémon, Ash used Charizard to attack [[Jessie's Frillish]], who was using {{m|Bubble Beam}} on Ash and company. Charizard easily defeated Frillish with Wing Attack and scorched [[James's Amoonguss]] with a super-effective Flamethrower. Charizard, alongside Pikachu, {{TP|Iris|Axew}}, and {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}}, subsequently sent Team Rocket blasting off.

Charizard was reunited with all of Ash's Unova Pokémon at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''. It joined the others in a group attack on Team Rocket with its Flamethrower to send them blasting off for the last time in ''Pokémon the Series: Black & White''. Charizard was left at the lab before Ash set off for the [[Kalos]] region. It later posed with the rest of Ash's Pokémon in a group photo with him.

=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''=====
Charizard reappeared in a flashback in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]''.

====Personality and characteristics====
{{bulbanews|Personality & Development: Ash's Charizard}}
The emotional turmoil of being abandoned by [[Damian]] defined Charizard when it was a Charmander. Despite the scorn it received from Damian, it loyally waited outside for his return, convinced that it had a good relationship when in fact none had existed. Only a violent confrontation revealed to it the unhealthy nature of and its relationship with Damian. Charmander struggled with this abandonment, as seen in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'', it became discouraged when {{AP|Bulbasaur}} suggested that Ash had abandoned them all. Charmander was markedly shy and shown to be anxious, though its confidence quickly grew under Ash's guidance.

[[File:Ash Charizard disobedience.png|thumb|240px|left|Refusing to battle against [[Sparky]]]]
Despite being one of Ash's most often used Pokémon, Charmander's evolution saw Charmeleon grow distant from Ash, scorning all of its former friends and seeking power alone. Charmeleon had grown to become like Damian, obsessed with power and reputation while ignoring the value of friendship, loyalty, and kindness. Charmeleon's battle with {{p|Aerodactyl}} in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' was purely based on a bruised ego, just as Charizard's later battles with {{TP|Blaine|Magmar}} and [[Zippo]] were, and in the case of the post-league celebration, the destruction of the food. Nevertheless, it did retain some degree of loyalty to its master and its fellow Pokémon, as the aforementioned incident with Aerodactyl had Charizard barely swooping in to save Ash before completely falling asleep while being affected by Jigglypuff's singing, and also saving Pikachu after Team Rocket blasted off before resuming his rampage, with ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' even having Charizard crying for its master when Ash ended up petrified.

Once Ash made the selfless act to save Charizard from freezing in ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'', Charizard finally shook off the poisonous personality traits left by Damian and regained full loyalty to Ash. Its ability to work as part of a team was still hampered but when working together with {{AP|Pikachu}} to defeat [[Luana]], it finally managed to overcome that difficulty. Since this point, Charizard has been willing to assist Ash in any battle, ranging from [[Casey's Chikorita]] to [[Falkner]]'s Pidgeot with no complaint. However, Charizard maintained the rebellious Flamethrower attacks as a sign of affection for its master and while Charizard was loyal, its love of power and reputation remained. This was shown significantly in its departure in ''[[EP134|Charizard's Burning Ambitions]]'', where it brashly challenged each of the wild Charizard at [[Charicific Valley]] even though it was defeated every time.

Despite retaining its fiery nature and fierce battling spirit, Charizard's return to Ash's regular command in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' showed that it had significantly matured throughout {{jo|Liza}}'s training regime. This was displayed in ''[[BW136|A Pokémon of a Different Color!]]'', where it attempted to act as a peacemaker between [[Clair]] and {{an|Iris}}'s two squabbling {{p|Dragonite}}.

===I Choose You!===
[[File:Ash Charizard M20.png|thumb|250px|Ash's Charizard in ''I Choose You!'']]
[[File:Ash Charmander M20.png|thumb|250px|left|As a Charmander]]
Charizard appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', which is set in a different continuity from the main series. In this continuity, it was the second Pokémon {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}} caught on his journey.

As a {{p|Charmander}}, it originally belonged to a Pokémon Trainer named [[Cross]]. Cross deemed Charmander too weak however, and abandoned it and told it to stop following him. Charmander was eventually found in the rain by Ash and [[Verity]]. After arguing briefly with Cross over his decision to abandon Charmander, they took it and went inside a cave to seek shelter from the rain. There, they found [[Sorrel]], who brought Charmander back to good health.
[[File:Ash Charmeleon M20.png|thumb|250px|As a Charmeleon]]
The following day, Charmander had fully recovered and Ash offered it to join his team. Charmander accepted, despite still feeling loyalty towards Cross. Charmander joined Ash, Verity, and Sorrel on their journey towards the [[Mount Tensei|Raizen Mountains]] to meet {{an|Ho-Oh}}. After a battle against a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s {{p|Jigglypuff}}, Charmander evolved into Charmeleon. Soon after, Ash encountered Cross again and started a battle with him. Ash used Charmeleon against its former Trainer and his {{p|Incineroar}}. Charmeleon proved to be no match for Incineroar however and was defeated. Ash started to question himself and faulted the loss on Charmeleon, but later apologized when he realized his errors.

Finally reaching the Raizen Mountains, Ash tried to place his [[Rainbow Wing]] atop Rainbow Rock. He was stopped by Cross however, who wanted to take the Rainbow Wing for himself. Ash battled Cross again, once again using his Charmeleon against Cross and his Incineroar. In the midst of a fierce battle, Charmeleon evolved into Charizard, and this time, it managed to defeat it. Distraught of losing against his former Pokémon, Cross started to realize the error in his ways.

===Ash & Pikachu===
[[File:Ash Charizard AP.png|thumb|200px|Charizard in the Ash & Pikachu manga]]
Ash's Charizard appeared in ''[[SP33|Off To The Battle Frontier!!]]''. It was excited to see Ash when he called it over as it was sent for training earlier. After arrival, Ash sent it out to battle [[Noland's Articuno]]. During the battle, it struggled to keep up with Articuno despite the type advantage due to the fact that Articuno's speed was quicker than Charizard's in terms of reflexes. However, Charizard focused in on where Articuno was going to strike next and defeated it, earning Ash the Knowledge Symbol.

===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
[[File:Ash Charmander EToP.png|thumb|140px|As a Charmander]]
[[File:Ash Charizard EToP.png|thumb|230px|left|Charizard in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
{{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}}'s Charizard makes a few appearances in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]; however, the circumstances of its capture seem to differ in the manga. While [[Damian]] appears in ''[[ET07|Pikachu's Excellent Adventure]]'', he was separated from his Charmander because he was injured, not because he abandoned it. At the end of the chapter, the two reunite in the [[Hidden Village]].

Despite this difference, Ash is still seen owning a Charmander, which first appears in ''[[ET08|You Gotta Have Friends]]''. Charmander's capture is not shown in the manga, instead, it is explained that "Ash has been busy since the last comic!" when Charmander first appears from its {{i|Poké Ball}}. Charmander is first seen when a lonely Ash decides to play with his other Pokémon while {{AP|Pikachu|Pikachu (EToP)}} is off playing with a group of Pikachu. Charmander simply sets Ash on fire while his {{p|Oddish}} {{status|paralysis|paralyzes}} him with {{m|Stun Spore}}.

Later, at the 88th Pokémon League, Ash presents his Charmander, now fully evolved into a Charizard, to Brock and Misty. Despite the fact that Ash wanted to use Charizard as a secret weapon, Charizard refuses to listen to him unless he holds a special flare that burns with the fire of a {{p|Moltres}}. Due to the fact that the flare burns out quickly and Ash could lose points for using a prop, he decides to not use it and use his other Pokémon instead.

[[File:Ash Charizard violent.png|thumb|230px|Charizard violently attacking Ritchie's Charley]]
In the fifth round of the Pokémon League, Ash sends out Charizard as his third and last Pokémon in his match against Ritchie. Ritchie counters with his own Charizard, named [[Zippo|Charley]]. Though evenly matched at first, Charizard goes into a violent frenzy and mercilessly starts scratching, biting, and burning Charley. Ash attempts to stop this mauling with his flare but Charizard ignores it and continues to attack Charley, heavily injuring it and splattering its blood everywhere.

Ash decides to return Charizard to its Poké Ball, forfeiting the match and making Ritchie the winner in the process. Overwhelmed with guilt, Ash leaves the arena and apologizes to Ritchie who states that it's alright and that his Charley will be fine after a trip to the Pokémon Center.

Charizard appeared again in ''[[ET16|You Bet Your Wife]]'' where Ash decided to use it in a dance competition in his Gym battle against [[Rudy]]. After flying around in circles, Charizard set Ash aflame as it did in its first appearance.

Charizard appeared one last time in ''[[ET18|Pikachu's Plan]]'' where it was used to battle {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}} in the [[Orange League]] finals. Charizard, now listening to Ash perfectly, battles against [[Drake's Dragonite]]. Despite being much larger and putting up a good fight, Charizard is eventually defeated, leaving Ash with only Pikachu left to use.

[[File:Ash Charmeleon M20 manga.png|thumb|200px|As a Charmeleon]]
Charizard appeared in {{ma|I Choose You!}}. It was first shown as a Charmander where [[Cross]] got it from {{an|Professor Oak}}. Later, Cross was revealed to have abandoned Charmander when {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}} encountered it out in the rain. After Ash and [[Verity]] took Charmander in a cave to recover, [[Sorrel]] helped it back to good health.

The next day, Ash offered Charmander to join his team and Charmander accepted. It then battled a {{p|Jigglypuff}} and defeated it, which resulted in it evolving into a Charmeleon. Charmeleon battled Cross's {{p|Incineroar}}. During the battle, it kept on damaging Incineroar, something that Cross allowed. However, it turned out to be part of Cross's plan as Incineroar's strength increased by every attack Charmeleon threw at it. Because of that, Incineroar was able to defeat Charmeleon with {{m|Cross Chop}}.

After Ash and {{ashfr}} reached the [[Mount Tensei|Raizen Mountains]] and encountered Cross again, Charmeleon was used in the rematch against Cross's Incineroar. During the battle, Charmeleon evolved into Charizard and defeated Incineroar. When {{OBP|Marshadow|M20}} became corrupted by the evil tainting it because of Cross placing the Rainbow Wing on top of the rock instead of Ash, Charizard protected Cross from an attack coming from {{p|Lycanroc}} when Marshadow possessed it and took part in the battle against the other Pokémon possessed by Marshadow. After Ash disappeared from existence because of a combined attack coming from Marshadow's army, Charizard and the others were saddened to see that happen. Charizard became happy when Ash was revived.

Charizard, as a Charmander, belonged to a Trainer named [[Cross]]. Cross released Charmander as he deemed it weak and then Ash eventually caught Charmander. Later, Charmander evolved into a Charmeleon.

In [[ICYR3]], Charmeleon was sent out to take on three {{p|Nidoking}} at [[Mount Tensei]]. Charmeleon's {{m|Flamethrower}} caused the Nidoking to go running. Later, it was used to battle Cross's Incineroar. During the battle, Cross's Incineroar got the upper hand but Charmeleon evolved into Charizard when it was about to lose. Using its newfound power, Charizard defeated Incineroar with Seismic Toss. Charizard then faced off against Cross's Lycanroc but the outcome was unknown.

==Trivia==
[[File:Ash Charizard greeting.png|240px|thumb|Charizard greeting Ash with {{m|Flamethrower}}]]
* During the English [[dub]] of ''[[EP133|Tanks a Lot!]]'', Brock referred to Charizard as a male when he said that the Pokémon could use his {{m|Flamethrower}} to destroy the [[Team Rocket's mechas|Arbo-Tank]], but this is not considered canon since the Japanese version has never established Charizard's gender.
* Charizard was the first of Ash's starter Pokémon to evolve to its final stage.
* Charizard became the first Pokémon in the {{pkmn|anime}} to defeat a [[Legendary Pokémon]] when it beat [[Noland's Articuno]] in ''[[AG136|The Symbol Life]]''.
* Charizard is the only Pokémon Ash has had that refused to obey him after evolving. This behavior was also seen post-evolution in [[Dawn's Mamoswine]] and [[Iris's Excadrill]].
* Until the episode ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'', Charizard only seemed to obey Ash when fighting another Fire-type Pokémon. It was obedient when battling against [[Blaine's Magmar]], {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}'s cloned {{p|Charizard}}, and [[Zippo]].
* It has become a running gag in the anime that whenever Charizard returns to Ash, it greets him by scorching him with its Flamethrower.
* Out of all of Ash's Pokémon, Charizard holds the record for having the most amount of episodes between its capture and being left in {{an|Professor Oak}}'s care, at 788 episodes.

'''Goh's Grookey''' (Japanese: '''ゴウのサルノリ''' ''Go's Sarunori'') is the thirty-second {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that [[Goh]] {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Kanto]] [[region]], and his seventy-ninth overall. It previously belonged to [[Team Rocket]], and was one of the Pokémon in the [[Rocket Prize Master]].

==In the anime==
===History===
====With Team Rocket====
[[File:Team Rocket Grookey release.png|thumb|left|250px|Grookey releasing itself from [[Team Rocket]]]]
While [[Team Rocket]]'s {{DL|Rocket Prize Master|Pelipper}} was flying around [[Vermilion City]] [[JN059|one night]], it dropped the [[Rocket Prize Master]] in front of a [[Poké Mart]], releasing {{p|Grookey}} from its [[Poké Ball]] in the process. The released Grookey wandered away as {{p|Pelipper}} scooped up its Ball and put it back in the machine. Eventually, Grookey wandered into [[Goh]] and {{Ash}}'s dorm room at the [[Cerise Laboratory]], where it latched onto Goh's arm and fell asleep.

Goh was surprised to find Grookey on his arm the next morning. After recovering from his surprise, he tried to catch it, only to be reprimanded by his [[Rotom Phone]], who told him that Grookey already belonged to someone else. After eating breakfast, Goh and Ash decided to borrow [[Professor Cerise's Yamper]] to track down where Grookey came from. Yamper's nose eventually brought them to the Poké Mart, where they discovered though the store's security footage that it belonged to Team Rocket.

Outside the Poké Mart, Goh and the others were ambushed by {{TRT}}, who captured {{AP|Pikachu}} and Grookey in one of their nets. After [[Ash's Farfetch'd]] freed the two and retaliated against them, Team Rocket called on the Rocket Prize Master, which only yielded one Poké Ball. [[Jessie]] tried to send out the Pokémon, but nothing came out. Confused, Jessie read the pamphlet that came with the Ball, which revealed that the Pokémon that was supposed to come out was Grookey. In disbelief, Jessie commanded Grookey to return to its Ball, causing it to be [[recall]]ed against its will. Now even more confused, Team Rocket used a smoke bomb to retreat to their hideout. As the smoke cleared, Goh noticed Grookey had accidentally left its stick behind while being recalled.

That night, uncomfortable without its stick, Grookey sneaked out of Team Rocket's hideout. The next day, Goh and the others found Grookey in a park in the city, and Goh returned Grookey's stick. Team Rocket, however, interrupted the reunion, demanding Grookey return to them. When Grookey refused, Team Rocket tried to put it back in its Ball by force, but Pikachu forced the Ball out of Jessie's hands. Grookey took the opportunity to break its own Poké Ball and asked Goh to catch it instead. Jessie and Goh both attempted to capture the now-released Grookey, but Grookey batted away the Team Rocket-branded Ball, allowing Goh's {{i|Poké Ball}} to catch it.

====With Goh====
In [[JN060]], Grookey was seen watching Ash's Farfetch'd and [[Goh's Scizor]] train. Later, while walking with Goh, Ash, and Pikachu to the [[Pokémon Center]], it and Pikachu detected a [[wild Pokémon]] in some nearby bushes, which was revealed to be a tired {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Bellsprout}}. Using its restorative powers, Grookey restored Bellsprout's stamina and befriended it. Grookey then reached into Goh's pocket and pulled out a Poké Ball, asking him to catch its new friend, to which Goh obliged. Grookey was later seen watching Ash battle [[Rinto]].

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Goh and Grookey.png|thumb|250px|Grookey and Goh]]
Grookey is an active Pokémon prone to roughhousing, and, as observed by Goh, can be stubborn and mischievous. It likes to play with both [[human]]s and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} by climbing on their heads and happily beating them on the head with its stick. This extroverted behavior initially rubbed [[Chloe's Eevee]] the wrong way, and Grookey was seen apologizing to her after it officially became one of Goh's Pokémon. Grookey is also shown to shut down when hungry, and may cause trouble when it comes to food. In its [[JN059|debut episode]], when {{AP|Pikachu}} refused to share some its food with it, Grookey flipped over {{p|Pikachu}}'s bowl and began causing chaos in the kitchen.

Despite its troublemaking tendencies, Grookey was shown to not be comfortable with the idea of being one of [[Team Rocket]]'s Pokémon, looking sad when Goh and {{Ash}} found out where it really came from. In contrast, it took to Goh almost immediately, greeting its new friend happily after waking up attached to his arm. Goh's act of kindness towards Grookey solidified their bond, allowing it to make the decision to leave Team Rocket permanently. Grookey is also seen to be good with plants and other {{type|Grass}} Pokémon, thanks to its restorative abilities. In [[JN060]], it also displayed interest in {{pkmn|battle|battling}}, acting excited after watching Ash and Goh training together.



==In the manga==
[[File:Goh Grookey JNM.png|thumb|100px|Grookey in {{ma|Pokémon Journeys: The Series}}]]
===Pokémon Journeys: The Series===
[[Goh]] caught Grookey in [[JNM17]].

==Trivia==
* Grookey is the first Pokémon owned by an {{pkmn|anime}} protagonist to have previously belonged to a [[villainous team]].
* Grookey is the only [[Galar]] [[starter Pokémon]] to have joined Goh in its debut episode, and the only one he caught outside of Galar.
* Grookey is the first starter Pokémon to have been owned by the [[Team Rocket trio]].

'''Maylene''' (Japanese: '''スモモ''' ''Sumomo'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Veilstone City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Veilstone Gym]]. She hands out the {{Badge|Cobble}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her. She [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==In the core series==
Maylene uses {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon in her battles. Trainers who defeat her receive the {{Badge|Cobble}}, {{TM|60|Drain Punch}}, and are able to use {{m|Fly}} outside of battle. In addition, if she is the fourth Gym Leader defeated, all Pokémon up to level 50 will obey their Trainer. Maylene is considered a cute little girl, but adults in the town respect her for her power. Maylene's father gambles at the [[Veilstone Game Corner]]. Maylene apparently does not know her own strength, as she is unsure of how she got to be Gym Leader, and seems rather confused by the whole thing.

Later, in {{v2|Platinum}}, the {{player}} encounters her upon entering {{rt|217|Sinnoh}} where she is apparently {{pkmn|training}} by walking to [[Snowpoint City]]. She does not use {{m|Fly}}—even if she can—so she can train herself. She is also used to the cold, even if she is lightly dressed and barefoot. In Snowpoint's [[Pokémon Center]], she says that she admires [[Candice]] for being so studious and that she will see her later. In the post-game, she can appear at the [[Battleground]], where she and the other Sinnoh Gym Leaders and Trainers can be battled again. After battling her here, she mentions that she believes that being barefoot is healthier than wearing footwear, pointing out that Pokémon go barefoot.

Maylene appears in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} in [[Celadon City]]'s restaurant, having entered what appears to be an eating contest; piles of empty bowls surround her, amazing her onlookers. In addition, she will occasionally participate in the [[Pokéathlon]]'s Supreme Cup in the Power Course with her {{p|Lucario}}, {{p|Meditite}}, and {{p|Machoke}}.

Maylene seems to like to eat a lot, saying how it is so great that she can eat all she wants in both the [[Battleground]] and Celadon City's restaurant, and is apparently able to eat many bowls in one sitting.

===Main series===
[[File:Maylene anime.png|thumb|220px|Maylene in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Prior to assuming the role of [[Veilstone City]]'s [[Gym Leader]], Maylene and {{TP|Maylene|Lucario}} were regarded as formidable opponents and well-known in the Veilstone area. Her promotion to Gym Leader, which occurred six months prior to ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]'', was welcomed by the city, but the pressure and expectations led Maylene to become increasingly distracted.

Maylene debuted in ''Lost Leader Strategy!'', where it was revealed that she had been challenged by [[Paul]] to a [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} prior to the episode's events. {{cat|Paul's Pokémon}} had a [[type]] advantage over Maylene's {{type|Fighting}} [[Party|team]], and this, coupled with the fact that Maylene was feeling out of sync with her Pokémon, resulted in an embarrassing match in which she failed to [[Fainting|knock out]] a single one of his Pokémon. After being defeated, Maylene awarded Paul with the {{Badge|Cobble}}, and Paul noted that she was the weakest [[Gym Leader]] he had ever battled. This, combined with how badly Maylene performed during the battle, caused her Lucario and most of her {{cat|Gym assistants}} to lose faith in her, though mostly out of worry. When {{Ash}} challenged her, she declined, much to the annoyance of Lucario.

[[File:Maylene and Dawn.png|thumb|left|220px|Maylene and Dawn]]
Although Maylene was feeling very sad and discouraged, she discovered a friend in {{an|Dawn}}, who at the time was going through a difficult period on her {{pkmn|journey}} following her losses in the [[Appeal|Performance Stage]] of both the {{ci|Hearthome}} and {{to|Solaceon}} [[Pokémon Contest]]s. The two confided in one another and shared their experiences and insecurities, and while doing that, Dawn had the idea of challenging Maylene to a battle to help her regain her confidence. Maylene agreed to have a Gym battle with her, which took place in ''[[DP067|Crossing the Battle Line!]]''.

During their battle, Maylene warned her Pokémon to be careful because Dawn's [[Contest Battle]] tactics could distract them. Both Maylene and Dawn took the match seriously, and their efforts were noted by Ash, {{an|Brock}}, [[Reggie]], and [[Connally]]. Eventually, after a fierce battle, Maylene managed to defeat Dawn, regaining trust in her skills as a Gym Leader. Afterwards, Maylene accepted Ash's challenge, and they faced off in ''[[DP068|A Triple Fighting Chance!]]''. Although the hard-fought battle resulted in a tie, Maylene considered Ash to have battled well enough and she awarded him the Cobble Badge.

Maylene appeared again in ''[[DP069|Enter Galactic!]]'', where she helped Ash and {{ashfr}} stop [[Team Galactic]] from stealing the [[Veilstone City]] Meteorites. The following day, she and Reggie said goodbye to Ash and his friends as they left for [[Pastoria City]].

She also made a cameo appearance in the ending credits of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

====Character====
Maylene is held in high esteem by [[Veilstone City]] and regarded as a "warrior" for her confident spirit. Her athletic skills were showcased in her debut, where she was able to hit her {{TP|Maylene|Lucario}}'s {{m|Aura Sphere}} attacks away. She meditates to improve her concentration during {{pkmn|battle}}. In battle, Maylene has her Pokémon use offense attacks like {{m|Brick Break}} and {{m|Bone Rush}} as the perfect defense against her opponent's tactics. She also uses {{p|Meditite}}'s {{m|Confusion}} and Lucario's {{m|Force Palm}} to inflict [[status condition]]s that leave her opponent vulnerable to a fury of direct hits.

However, after defeating [[Dawn's Ambipom]] and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}, Lucario and Maylene were soon back in sync with each other which helped it to defeat {{AP|Staravia}} and {{AP|Chimchar}} and force [[Ash's Buizel]] to a draw during the [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} against {{Ash}}.

Lucario was later used to help protect [[Veilstone City]]'s famous meteorites from being stolen by [[Saturn]] during ''[[DP069|Enter Galactic!]]''.}}

Its first full appearance was during Maylene's [[Gym]] battle against {{an|Dawn}} in ''[[DP067|Crossing the Battle Line!]]''. Unlike the battle against Paul, Meditite was used to its full potential in this battle, being able to defeat {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} before being knocked out by {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}}'s {{m|Double Hit}}.

It was next used in her Gym battle against {{Ash}}, where it was able to {{status|Confusion|confuse}} both {{AP|Staravia}} and {{AP|Chimchar}} but was unable to defeat them. It eventually fell to Staravia's newly-learned {{m|Brave Bird}}.

It was the first Pokémon used by Maylene during her Gym battle against {{Ash}}, where it put up a strong defense against his {{AP|Staravia}} despite the [[type]] disadvantage. Despite this however Machoke was still defeated by the Starling Pokémon's combination of {{m|Quick Attack}} and {{m|Aerial Ace}}.

Machoke's known moves are {{m|Dynamic Punch}}, {{m|Brick Break}}, {{m|Cross Chop}}, and {{m|Seismic Toss}}.}}

===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Maylene Wake Adventures.png|thumb|right|Maylene and her Riolu and Crasher Wake with his Floatzel]]
Maylene is first seen training with her two Pokémon, Meditite and Riolu where she overhears a trio of children planning to challenge her Gym. While jogging around the city she almost gets hit by [[Chimler]]'s Ember (when the trio was testing {{adv|Platinum}}'s newly-earned Zoom Lens). Due to a misunderstanding she assumes that Platinum was one of the kids who planned to challenge her, she then challenges Platinum to a match, adding that Platinum must use Monferno against her. She later battles Platinum in the Veilstone Gym, but is defeated when Platinum uses her skills at playing the slots to help Monferno defeat her Riolu.

She later appears in [[Snowpoint City]], jogging in the cold where Platinum spots her and asks her to take her to the Snowpoint Gym Leader, Candice. She watches the Gym battle between Candice and Platinum and later, along with Candice, joins Platinum on her quest to stop Team Galactic from blowing up [[Lake Acuity]] and capturing the legendary {{p|Uxie}}. Later, at Lake Acuity they are confronted by Team Galactic Commander, Jupiter and despite putting up a good fight, are defeated by her powerful Pokémon and are unable to prevent Uxie from being captured. After being healed they decided to get some training in order to defeat her, Candice calls fellow Gym Leader Byron who then calls and asks Volkner to train them. After some difficulty with their new tutor, they finish their training with him and later at the Spear Pillar, she and Candice fight and defeat Jupiter along with the other Galactic Commanders. She and the other Gym Leaders later fight Team Galactic Leader Cyrus in order to break the Red Chain controlling the legendary Dialga and Palkia and after a tough battle, they are able to break the Chain. However, it turns out the one they broke was the second artificial one that he created.

Later, the Gym Leaders are found unconscious lying in a pile of rubble by Platinum and [[Cynthia]]. After helping them out, Maylene, Candice, and [[Gardenia]] wake up and give Platinum a {{p|Pachirisu}}, a {{TP|Platinum|Froslass}}, and a {{p|Cherrim}}, respectively. Just after, a stray attack fired from the battle between Diamond and Pearl against Dialga and Palkia knocks them unconscious and melts the Poké Balls, preventing Platinum from using her newly gained team members. Later, when the clash between Dialga and Palkia creates a black hole in the sky, Maylene and the other Gym Leaders are nearly sucked into it before being saved by Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. After Cyrus's defeat, Maylene, the other Gym Leaders, and Cyrus are carried by the Sinnoh Pokédex holders so they can be taken to the hospital to heal their injuries.

It is heavily implied that due to her father's gambling habit, Maylene is actually living in poverty as seen when she is jealous of Platinum's wealth and the fact that her father wears shabby clothing along with that every time he appears, his stomach is seen growling. This was revealed to be a fact when she gave Platinum her Pachirisu.

|desc={{p|Riolu}} is Maylene's strongest Pokémon and her main battler. She uses him in her battle against Platinum and manages to defeat her Chatot but is defeated by Platinum applying her Slots skills to her Monferno.

[[File:Maylene DPA.png|thumb|200px|Maylene in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]]
Maylene has a brief cameo in ''[[DPA07|Dialga's Secret Keys!!]]'' where she battled Hareta and gave him the {{Badge|Cobble}} after her Machoke got defeated by {{TP|Hareta|Piplup}}. At the end of the chapter, she is seen complaining about only appearing in one panel. Later, she was called in by [[Byron]] to go to Lake Valor in order to help Hareta take out Team Galactic.

==Trivia==
* Maylene is the only [[Sinnoh]] [[Gym Leader]] in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} to not appear outside her [[Gym]] at least once in the game. She makes several appearances outside of her Gym in {{game|Platinum}}, however, when the {{player}} reaches {{rt|217|Sinnoh}}, at the Pokémon Center in [[Snowpoint City]] before beating Candice, and at the [[Battleground]].
** She also appears in [[Celadon City]] in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
** Maylene is also the only Gym Leader in Sinnoh to have more Pokémon of the opposite gender than of the same gender as her; in the Veilstone Gym, two out of her three Pokémon are male, while at the Battleground, three out of five are.
* Maylene's Japanese name is shared with that of one of the [[Kimono Girl]]s of [[Ecruteak City]]. That Kimono Girl's name was changed to ''Komomo'' in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, possibly to avoid it conflicting with Maylene's Japanese name, as Maylene herself appears in those games.
* With the release of Pokémon Platinum, the order of three Gym {{pkmn|battle}}s in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl are now shifted: instead of being third, Maylene is now fourth in the lineup.
* Of all of the Trainers that can be fought at the [[Battleground]], Maylene has the strongest Pokémon of any of them. Her Lucario, at level 66, is one level stronger than the rest of the Trainers' strongest Pokémon, as all of the rest are at Lv. 65.
** However, Maylene compensates for this, since her strongest Pokémon doesn't hold a [[Sitrus Berry]] unlike the other trainers at the Battleground.
* In Diamond and Pearl, her {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are the same levels that Pastoria Gym Leader [[Crasher Wake]]'s Pokémon are.
** This is most likely due to the fact that the player can choose to visit Veilstone or Pastoria simultaneously without affecting the progression of the storyline, meaning Wake and Maylene could be battled in either order.
* Maylene's Meditite in [[Pokémon Adventures]] knows {{m|Bullet Punch}}, {{m|Power Swap}}, and {{m|Psycho Cut}}. These moves are impossible to have at the same time in the games.

'''Dawn''' (Japanese: '''ヒカリ''' ''Hikari'') is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] in [[Pokémon Masters EX]], based on the [[Dawn (game)|character of the same name]] in the [[core series]] {{pkmn|games}}. She forms a [[sync pair]] with {{p|Turtwig}}. The sync pair can be obtained through the [[Sync pair#Sync pair scout|sync pair scout]], starting from May 28, 2020.

Dawn is also available in her Palentine's attire partnered alongside {{p|Alcremie}}. The pair could be obtained through a limited-time seasonal {{DL|sync pair|sync pair scout}} and will be first available on February 1, 2021.

==Turtwig → Grotle → Torterra==
Turtwig can evolve into Grotle once it has reached level 30 through its Sync Pair Story ''Turtwig's Evolution'', and then into Torterra once it has reached level 45 through its Sync Pair Story ''Grotle's Evolution''.

'''Gladion''' (Japanese: '''グラジオ''' ''Glazio'') is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] in [[Pokémon Masters EX]], based on the [[Gladion|character of the same name]] in the [[core series]] {{pkmn|games}}. He forms a [[sync pair]] with {{TP|Gladion|Silvally}}. He was first introduced in the [[List of story events in Pokémon Masters EX|story event]], ''Family Ties''. The sync pair can be obtained through the {{DL|sync pair|sync pair scout}}.

Gladion and Silvally are capable of reaching 6★ EX. Raising the sync pair to 6★ EX allows Gladion to switch to his EX style which also comes with an alternate Trainer pose.

'''Delibird''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''デリバード''' ''Delibird'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ice|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

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

==Biology==
Delibird is a red, {{wp|penguin}}-like Pokémon with a white, hollow tail. Its face and chest are covered in white feathers with two, three-pointed crests above its eyes. Black markings surround its circular eyes, and it has a light yellow beak and feet. There is a single white spot on its stomach. Its feet have two digits each.

Delibird is omnivorous. It carries food bundled up in its tail. It normally gives stored food to its chicks, but has been known to share its food with humans stranded on icy mountains. Delibird's [[signature move]], {{m|Present}}, allows it to carry special items in its tail that may cause damage or heal its opponent. In a flock, the Delibird with the largest tail is its leader. Delibird tends to live in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountainous regions}}, making its nests over sharp cliffs; one notable area of the world is around Mt. Everest.

==In the anime==
[[File:Team Rocket Delibird.png|thumb|left|250px|Delibird in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Delibird (Team Rocket)]]====
In ''[[EP231|Dues and Don'ts]]'', a Delibird was affiliated with an [[Rocket Scout|elderly talent scout]] from [[Team Rocket]]. Since that episode, the Delivery Pokémon kept following [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} to collect money that the three of them owe. Eventually, Delibird was unable to tail the [[Team Rocket trio]] ever since they moved to the [[Hoenn]] [[region]].

====Other====
In ''[[PK08|Delibird's Dilemma]]'', [[Santa Claus]] owns a Delibird. [[Ash's Totodile]] shot it clear out of the sky with a {{m|Water Gun}}-propelled snowball while it was delivering presents. As a result, {{AP|Pikachu}} and his friends had to help the Delivery Pokémon find the five presents before midnight.

===Minor appearances===
In ''[[DP095|Battling The Generation Gap!]]'', a {{pkmn|Coordinator}}'s Delibird competed in the {{to|Celestic}} {{pkmn|Contest}}.

Multiple Delibird appeared in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''.

Three {{pkmn|Trainer}}s' Delibird appeared in ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]''.

In ''[[SM133|Battling on the Wing!]]'', a Trainer's Delibird watched the {{pkmn|battle}}s during the [[Manalo Conference]].

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Johto}}
{{Animedexbody|EP231|Delibird|Ash's Pokédex|Delibird, the Delivery Pokémon. Delibird's most unique [[Move|attack]] is {{m|Present|giving presents}}. However, some of these presents have been known to explode. Sometimes, Delibird's presents can actually restore energy to its opponents.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|Johto}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Masked Man Delibird.png|thumb|200px|Delibird in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In ''[[PS103|You Ain't Nothin' but a Houndour]]'', a Delibird attacked {{adv|Gold}} under the command of the [[Masked Man]]. It is one of his most commonly used Pokémon. It appears to be the same Pokémon used by him in his alias, and was strong enough that it allowed him to capture {{p|Ho-Oh}}. However, Gold was able to knock it out with [[Polibo]]'s {{m|Perish Song}}.

[[Pryce]] owns a Delibird that first appeared with him in his Gym in ''[[PS143|Irked Igglybuff and Curmudgeonly Cleffa]]''. It is likely to be the same Delibird used by his alias.

In ''[[PS387|Striking Out Snover]]'', a wild Delibird was near [[Snowpoint City]], being cared for by [[Candice]].

===In the Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All manga===
A Delibird appeared in [[GDZ67]], under the ownership of a {{OBP|monk|GDZ}}.

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

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]: Delibird stars in its own mini-game called "Delibird's Delivery." In this game, players collect presents from one side of the field to the other. The player must avoid {{p|Swinub}} that scurry around or they will trip the Delibird and cause the player to lose the present they were carrying.
* [[Pokémon Channel]]: Delibird is the delivery boy for the "Shop 'n {{p|Squirtle}}."

==Trivia==
* Delibird is one of the few Pokémon who can learn TM moves when it learns fewer than four moves by leveling up.
* The [[Pokémon Ultimate Handbook]] incorrectly states that Delibird is a [[Legendary Pokémon]].
* Delibird has {{a|Insomnia}} as its {{DL|Ability|Hidden Ability}} although it already has access to {{a|Vital Spirit}}, another Ability with exactly the same in-battle effect.
* According to dialogue from Holiday Rosa in ''[[Pokémon Masters EX]]'', Delibird's sack is actually the species' tail.

===Origin===
Aspects of Delibird's appearance appear to come from the {{wp|rockhopper penguin}}. However, its red-and-white color scheme, its ability to give presents, and the appearance of carrying its sack-like tail is likely to have been derived from {{wp|Santa Claus}} and possibly the {{wp|white stork}}. Delibird may have also been inspired by {{wp|puffin}}s, which are {{wp|penguin}}-like birds that still have the ability to fly.

====Name origin====
Delibird is a combination of ''delivery'' and ''bird''. ''Deli'' may have derived from the {{wp|Adélie penguin}}. Pronouncing ''Delibird'' with the same inflection as ''delivered'' yields a very similar sound, with the "b" and "v" being the only variation between the two words.

'''Goh's Scyther''' (Japanese: '''ゴウのストライク''' ''Go's Strike'') is the twelfth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that [[Goh]] {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Kanto]] [[region]], and his thirteenth overall.

==In the anime==
[[File:Goh and Scyther.png|thumb|left|250px|Scyther showing off for its Trainer]]
{{p|Scyther}} debuted in ''[[JN006|Working My Way Back to Mew!]]'', where it was the last {{type|Bug}} Pokémon native to the [[Kanto]] [[region]] that [[Goh]] needed to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}}. It easily repelled Goh's {{i|Poké Ball}} and sent him and {{TP|Goh|Scorbunny}} flying. Later, Goh battled the Mantis Pokémon briefly with his Scorbunny before finally catching it. Afterwards, it was seen with all of his other Pokémon before [[Professor Cerise]] suggested leaving it at his [[Cerise Laboratory|Laboratory]].

In ''[[JN007|Serving Up the Flute Cup!]]'', Goh used Scyther in his first [[Pokémon battle]] during the [[Battle Frontier Flute Cup]]. It battled [[Hodge]]'s {{p|Mightyena}}, where it used {{m|Swords Dance}} before quickly falling to Mightyena's {{m|Fire Fang}}.

In ''[[JN015|A Snow Day for Searching!]]'', Goh used Scyther alongside some of his other Bug Pokémon to find the bone of a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Cubone}}, which he later caught.

During a food shortage in ''[[JN023|Panic in the Park!]]'', Scyther led a group of Goh's Bug-type Pokémon during a rebellion; and they targeted {{TP|Goh|Darmanitan}}, {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Grimer}}, {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Ekans}}, and {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Stantler}}. When {{TP|Goh|Golurk}} lost control, Scyther protected Goh's three {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Dustox|Cascoon}}.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Goh Scyther and Bug Pokemon.png|thumb|250px|Scyther leading the other Pokémon in ''[[JN023|Panic in the Park!]]'']]
Scyther is a fast and powerful {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, thus Goh had the most trouble to catch it out of all the [[Kanto]]-native {{t|Bug}} types he went after. It is enthusiastic about battling and staying active. In ''[[JN007|Serving Up the Flute Cup!]]'', it followed [[Mimey]]'s kung-fu exercises alongside its Trainer, {{TP|Goh|Scorbunny}}, the Professor, and [[Chloe]]. It was later shadow-boxing as an effort to get Goh's attention to bring it to the [[Battle Frontier Flute Cup]]. Scyther is also shown to have a quick temper, as seen in ''[[JN015|A Snow Day for Searching!]]''; when a group of {{p|Geodude}} threw snowballs at it, hitting it in the face, Scyther started chasing them. These behaviors particularly contrast with [[Goh's Pinsir]], who tried to avoid being selected for the Flute Cup and gets along with Goh's smaller Pokémon like {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Caterpie}}. However, despite its rough demeanor, Scyther enjoys a hug, as seen in ''[[JN011|Best Friend...Worst Nightmare!]]'', when it accepted one from [[Ash's Dragonite]].

After its capture, Scyther quickly became one of Goh's most used Pokémon, next to {{TP|Goh|Cinderace}}. Despite its strength and confidence, however, Goh and Scyther are not as in sync with each other compared to Cinderace, and Goh's cautious strategy in the first round of the Flute Cup led to Scyther's quick defeat. Scyther didn't appear too upset by the loss, returning from the [[Pokémon Center]] for another battle. Like Scorbunny, it seemed more concerned with how hard Goh was taking his first defeat.

Scyther is protective of other Pokémon, as seen in ''[[JN023|Panic in the Park!]]'', when it shielded a group of Goh's {{t|Bug}} types from {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Darmanitan}}'s attack. Scyther is also a natural leader, as demonstrated when it commanded Goh's Bug-types to attack Darmanitan and its allies.

'''Ash's Glalie''' (Japanese: '''サトシのオニゴーリ''' ''Satoshi's Onigohri'') was the fifth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]], and his twenty-sixth overall.

==In the anime==
===History===
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''====
=====Hoenn=====
[[File:Ash Snorunt.png|220px|thumb|left|As a {{p|Snorunt}} in its debut]]
Glalie debuted in ''[[AG108|Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snorunt!]]'' on [[Izabe Island]] as a Snorunt. It followed {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} through the snow to the [[Pokémon Center]], where it began to cause trouble and stole Ash's [[Badge]] case. A chase ensued, with Snorunt leaving a trail of Badges to keep Ash pursuing it. After a small meeting with Team Rocket it froze Ash with Icy Wind and left the Center through the window into an oncoming snowstorm. Ash followed it and they ended up lost in the snow. After Ash got knocked unconscious by protecting it from a small avalanche, Snorunt took him to a cave for refuge and provided him with apples while they waited out the conditions. As Ash began to trust the mischievous Pokémon, Snorunt ran off into the blizzard with his hat, so it could lead the others to where Ash was. Reunited, the group scolded Snorunt and asked for the other Badges, before being interrupted by Team Rocket capturing Snorunt and Pikachu. Snorunt quickly escaped and saved Pikachu before battling Team Rocket's Pokémon. Later on, Snorunt still refused to return the Badge case, so Ash battled and subsequently caught it. Snorunt was later introduced to the group's other Pokémon, though it continued to prank everyone.

In [[AG109|the next episode]], Snorunt joined Max in his effort to get an unwell {{p|Ralts}} to a Pokémon Center. During the journey, Snorunt used Icy Wind to make ice packs to combat Ralts' fever.

In ''[[AG110|The Great Eight Fate!]]'', Ash chose Snorunt and Pikachu as his first two Pokémon in a [[Double Battle]] in the first round of the [[Sootopolis Gym]] battle, going up against [[Juan]]'s {{p|Sealeo}} and {{p|Seaking}}. Pikachu used {{m|Thunderbolt}} on Sealeo, but Seaking used {{m|Horn Drill}} to reflect it back to Snorunt. Pikachu then used {{m|Thunder}}, but Seaking used Horn Drill to reflect the attack to Snorunt again, but this time Pikachu protected Snorunt, taking most of the damage. Sealeo then used {{m|Blizzard}} on the two - Pikachu took a lot of damage but Snorunt barely felt the attack and jumped around happily. Snorunt then used Icy Wind to stop the Blizzard, creating an ice pillar that blocked everyone's view. When Sealeo and Seaking destroyed it, ice shards were sent up in the air which Ash had Snorunt and Pikachu jump on to attack. Seaking then used Hyper Beam on Snorunt and Sealeo used Aurora Beam on Pikachu. Pikachu was able to dodge the attack but Snorunt was not, and the Hyper Beam knocked it out.

In ''[[AG114|Date Expectations!]]'', Ash began trying to teach Snorunt {{m|Ice Beam}}. While learning the new move, Snorunt ended up freezing people multiple times, including its Trainer and {{OBP|Anthony|AG122}}. Finally in ''[[AG123|Rhapsody in Drew]]'', {{Ho|Robert}} recommended that it focus its energy in its head while battling Team Rocket during the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]]. Snorunt then evolved into a Glalie and sent them blasting off with its newly mastered Ice Beam.
[[File:Ash Glalie Ever Grande Conference.png|thumb|220px|Glalie and Ash in the Ever Grande Conference]]
Glalie had several battles in the [[Ever Grande Conference]] and proved to be quite a powerhouse in Ash's team. In ''[[AG128|Shocks and Bonds]]'', it teamed up with {{AP|Grovyle}} to battle [[Clark]] and his Pokémon, {{p|Quilava}} and {{p|Charizard}}, although both of Ash's Pokémon were at a type disadvantage. Glalie's Icy Wind did not damage either Pokémon but managed to hold off a {{m|Heat Wave}}. Grovyle and Quilava both went down, leaving Glalie against Charizard. Glalie froze up part of the battlefield so it could avoid Charizard's {{m|Flamethrower}}, but ended up being knocked around its own ice pillars. Glalie managed to change this to its advantage, using the momentum to raise its speed and used a high speed Headbutt to flatten Charizard and give Ash the win.

Ash used Glalie as his third Pokémon in his [[Full Battle]] against {{ho|Katie}}. It went up against her {{p|Dugtrio}}. Dugtrio used {{m|Dig}} but Glalie used Headbutt on the ground, forcing Dugtrio to emerge and dealing damage. Glalie then used Ice Beam, knocking Dugtrio out. Glalie then went up against her {{p|Misdreavus}}. Glalie used Ice Beam but Katie had Misdreavus take the attack. Glalie then used Headbutt, scoring a direct hit. While being hit Misdreavus used {{m|Destiny Bond}}. The Headbutt then defeated Misdreavus but due to the effect of Destiny Bond Glalie was also knocked out.

In ''[[AG130|Choose It or Lose It!]]'', Ash used Glalie as his sixth and final Pokémon in his Full Battle against [[Morrison]], going up against his final Pokémon, {{TP|Morrison|Metang}}. Glalie used Headbutt while {{p|Metang}} used {{m|Take Down}}, with Take Down dealing more damage. Glalie used Ice Beam, which Metang was able to redirect with {{m|Confusion}}, hitting Glalie. Glalie's Ice Beam was reflected a second time, but Ash saw this coming and used Icy Wind to redirect the attack back to Metang again, hitting it. Glalie hit Metang with Headbutt, but Metang countered with a super-effective {{m|Meteor Mash}}. Glalie used Headbutt again, spinning to increase its power, while Metang used Meteor Mash. Just before the collision Glalie ducked, avoiding the Meteor Mash and hitting with the spinning Headbutt, knocking out Metang, winning Ash the battle and moving Ash to the next round of the Victory Tournament.

Later, Ash used Glalie as his first Pokémon in his Full Battle against {{ho|Tyson}}, going up against his {{p|Sceptile}}. Glalie used Ice Beam while Sceptile used {{m|Solar Beam}}, creating a massive explosion. In the [[AG131|next episode]], it was revealed that this explosion knocked out both Pokémon.

=====Kanto Battle Frontier=====
In ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'', Ash left Glalie at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] before he went to challenge the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''====
In ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'', Glalie returned to Ash's team for the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]. Upon seeing its Trainer, it froze Ash with Ice Beam, which {{AP|Torkoal}} later thawed out. In ''[[DP185|Working on a Right Move!]]'', Glalie was seen training with {{AP|Torterra}} and {{AP|Infernape}} before Ash's battle with [[Conway]]. Ash was initially going to use Glalie because of its power to try to overwhelm Conway, but changed his mind as he knew that he couldn't depend on sheer power alone. In the end, Glalie was not seen participating in the Lily of the Valley Conference.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''====
Glalie was reunited with Ash in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'', where it and the rest of Ash's Pokémon posed in a group photo with him.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Ash and Glalie.png|thumb|220px|Glalie and Ash]]
As a Snorunt, it was initially mischievous and troublesome, constantly playing pranks on Ash and his friends. Since its capture, it has been very energetic and giggly; seeming to laugh at everything whether it is good or bad. However, it has demonstrated that it can be serious a few times, namely when it rescued Ash from perishing in a blizzard or when it froze some berries to help [[Max]] treat a sick {{p|Ralts}}. Sometimes, Snorunt seems irrational, most notably when Snorunt argued with a {{p|Kirlia}} over what was best for the Ralts that Max had taken into his care. A running gag in the anime had it freeze people with its {{type|Ice}} attacks, usually Ash. Even after gaining control over its attacks, it continued to freeze its Trainer when he came to [[Sinnoh]].

* In the English [[dub]] of ''[[AG114|Date Expectations]]'', {{an|Brock}} states that Snorunt "still needs to work on '''his''' Ice Beam", implying that Snorunt is male. However, this is only in the English dub.
* Glalie is the only {{type|Ice}} Pokémon remaining in Ash's ownership.

'''Professor Philena Ivy''' (Japanese: '''ウチキド博士''' ''Dr. Uchikido'') is a recurring character in the [[Pokémon anime]]. She is a [[Pokémon Professor]] who resides on [[Valencia Island]] with her [[Professor Ivy's assistants|three assistants]].

==History==
Professor Ivy was first mentioned in ''[[EP081|Pallet Party Panic]]'' by {{an|Professor Oak}}, where Professor Oak asks {{Ash}} to retrieve a [[GS Ball|mysterious Poké Ball]] Professor Ivy had found but could not be transported directly to the lab or cracked open with her finest equipment.

In ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]'', Ash and {{Ashfr}} find Professor Ivy and obtain the GS Ball. In this episode, Professor Ivy and a {{p|Raticate}} also got sent to the [[Pokémon Center]] because they got in the way of Vileplume scattering pollen. During these events, {{an|Brock}} fell in love with her and decided to stay with the professor. Brock continued to stay with her during Ash's [[Orange League]] adventure until ''[[EP115|A Tent Situation]]'', where Ash and {{an|Misty}} met Brock at Ash's home. Not only did they part on mysterious terms, but Brock's time spent at her lab had never been fully explained. Whatever happened, speaking her name around Brock caused him to curl up into a ball and simply state, "Don't mention that name!" The events that caused Brock to be traumatized had been the subject of fan speculation.

In ''[[M02|The Power Of One]]'', Professor Ivy was seen with Brock at the lab while contacting Professor Oak about Pokémon disturbances on Valencia Island. After that, she was seen later in a helicopter along with Professor Oak and [[Delia Ketchum|Delia]], explaining to a news crew about the Pokémon disturbances. The helicopter eventually crash landed on [[Shamouti Island]] with all people inside safe.

In ''[[EP115|A Tent Situation]]'', she reappeared in a flashback. Professor Ivy was also accidentally mentioned by {{an|Misty}} in the [[EP116|following episode]].

In the English dub of ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', she was mentioned by Brock while flirting with [[Yuko]].

==Character==
Professor Ivy's field of research is in [[Regional form|regional differences]] in Pokémon physiology. Her report on "''Pokémon adaptive variation as a function of regional distribution''" has been published in the {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Pokémon Researchers Monthly}} magazine.

She is considered to be very attractive, but it is noted that her looks do not negate her achievements as a Pokémon researcher. She and {{an|Professor Oak}} are good friends.

==Trivia==
* In the English dub, Professor Ivy is the only professor in the main series [[region]]s not to be named after a tree; however, she is still named after a plant. Ivy often grows on oak trees, so her name may be a reference to her friendship with Professor Oak.
* She shares her French name with {{an|May}}.
* While an exact reason for why Brock left Professor Ivy has never been given, former writer [[Takeshi Shudō]] speculatively guessed that Professor Ivy was not straight.<ref>https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2020/07/06/pokemon-character-lesbian-ivy-brock-orange-island-takeshi-shudo-professor-ivy-queer/</ref>

==Plot==
{{main|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team#Plot|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team → Plot}}

==Blurb==
You can meet and recruit Pokémon in a dungeon-crawling adventure within their world! Build a rescue team to take on mysterious, changing dungeons and strategically plan your moves as you venture forth to make the Pokémon world a safer place…and uncover your true purpose along the way.

As you recruit Pokémon, these trusty teammates will need somewhere to stay, so build camps to house, manage, and strengthen your Pokémon friends. Think hard about who is right for the job and how to approach each mysterious dungeon as you prepare a rescue team. You’ll move a single square at a time or use Auto mode to speed up movement until you engage other Pokémon in turn-based battles—but don’t forget about Pokémon strengths and weaknesses! This version adds gorgeous watercolor-inspired graphics, and more! Get comfortable in being a Pokémon, there’s a lot of work to do.

* Wake up in the world of Pokémon and uncover your true purpose
* Dungeon layouts will change each time you enter them, so you’ll likely not have the same adventure twice
* Build a rescue team to explore dungeons and engage in strategic turn-based combat
* Pokémon are available to meet and recruit
* This version adds gorgeous watercolor-inspired graphics, and more!

==Features==
===Features inherited from later generations===
The following features have been inherited from later Mystery Dungeon games.
* [[TM]]s are once again a one time use item, and can no longer be {{m|Recycle}}d.
** Recycle now instead changes a {{DL|Seed|Plain Seed}} to a different [[Seed]] or an [[Oran Berry]].
* The maximum amount for a team entering a Dungeon is 3.
** However, the player can [[Recruitment|recruit defeated Pokémon]] until they have a party of 8.
** Most legendary Pokémon will now be automatically recruited after their first or second defeat.
* The player can rescue themselves if they are defeated in a dungeon, in addition to rescuing other players.
* Offensive attacks have their own experience gain. Occasionally, any move may be done twice in a row.
* Treasure Boxes return, but are opened automatically upon leaving the dungeon.
* Starving Pokémon can be found within Dungeons. These Pokémon will always have a random [[Rare quality]] given to them.
* Certain Pokémon may be [[Gigantic Pokémon|Gigantic]], utilizing a 3×3 tile area around them.
* The {{t|Fairy}} type and foreign Pokémon evolutions related to the Pokémon of the first three Generations (such as {{p|Sylveon}} and {{p|Mantyke}}) are present in the game. {{p|Riolu}} and {{p|Lucario}} are also present in the game.
* Pokémon may undergo [[Mega Evolution]] by using an [[Seed|Empowerment Seed]], as opposed to [[Emera|Awakening Emera]]s.
** Unlike Super, {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} may also undergo [[Primal Reversion]] through this method.
* The Toolbox's size will increase with the player's rank.
* The player can now pre-set teams like in Super Mystery Dungeon, and the amount of these pre-sets is increased with rank.
* Teammates in camps will get experience points, even if they don't go on a mission.
* Move experience returns with higher level moves receiving increased power, accuracy and PP.
* Prior to Boss encounters, the Rescue Team will be fully healed.

===New features===
* Auto mode: Pressing the L Button will automatically move the {{player}} and their [[team]] until an enemy is approached or the button is pressed again. if the player is near an enemy; they cannot enable automode
* Using the A Button now selects the best move against an opponent.
* The typeless standard attack available in prior titles can no longer be used by the player.
* The game now autosaves per turn, can be loaded from inside dungeons.
* Type effectiveness has been revised. Ineffective moves no longer deal damage, as in the core series games.
* Evolutionary items have been replaced with Evolution Crystals which are consumed whenever a Pokémon with evolution requirements outside of level wishes to evolve.
* There will be a daily exploration bonus with a highlighted mark beside one of the dungeons. The bonus will provide the player with extra [[Poké]] earned along with a higher probability of Treasure Boxes being dropped.
* It is now possible to recruit defeated enemies that are up to two tiles away from the leader.
* New [[Wonder Orb]]s and [[Dungeon tile#Effect Tile|Trap]]s.
* Pokémon with two {{Abilities}} no longer have both simultaneously.
* Fainting in a dungeon now results in a total loss of all items and [[Poké|money]] that they had in the Toolbox.
* Enemy Pokémon that defeat an ally or other enemy Pokémon (in the case of {{p|Shedinja}} and certain targeting moves such as {{m|Earthquake}}) will no longer evolve, but instead become empowered (awakened). This can trigger [[Mega Evolution]], if applicable.
* Occasionally, a team member can repeat the move they previously used in the same turn.
* When defeating an enemy Pokémon with Linked Moves, they will only faint after the last move of the set it used.

====Rare qualities====
{{main|Rare quality}}
* Pokémon may now have [[Rare quality|rare qualities]], a passive bonus that affects the entire team within dungeons. This system replaces the [[IQ]] and [[Team Skill]]s from previous games.
* [[Gummi]]s have been shrunk to 2 varieties.
** Rainbow Gummis will raise a stat at random, and will sometimes give the Pokémon a new rare quality.
** DX Gummis will raise a stat at random, and will always give the Pokémon a new rare quality.
* Locked doors are now unlocked through [[Invitation]]s rather than Keys. Unlocking these rooms gives the player multiple helpful items along with up to three random Pokémon with a rare quality. This is the only way to recruit {{p|Riolu}}.

====Strong foes and Shiny Pokémon====
* 27 dungeons, after being completed for the first time, have "strong foes" that may spawn. These enemies are at significantly higher levels than the other enemies and are guaranteed to drop a Deluxe Box upon defeat. These Pokémon also have a chance of being [[Shiny Pokémon|Shiny]].
** [[Shiny Pokémon]] can only be recruited using the [[Friend Bow]].
** The only [[Shiny Pokémon]] not acquired through this method is {{mdc|Celebi|2}}, who can be recruited in [[Mystery House]]s after clearing [[Purity Forest]] for the first time.

===Differences from Red and Blue Rescue Team===
* A shortcut from the [[Team Base]] to the {{DL|Pokémon Square|Pelipper Post Office}} is created by {{p|Diglett}} the day after the completion of Thunderwave Cave for the first time
* {{p|Persian}} gives a reward once every day after a transaction at [[Felicity Bank]].
* {{p|Gulpin}}'s Link Shop now links moves for free.
** Linked moves that run out of PP do not automatically unlink the entire set anymore and will simply use the moves with remaining PP.
** After [[Sky Tower]] has been completed for the first time, [[Move Tutor]] moves may be remembered through Gulpin, for some [[Poké]].
* {{p|Smeargle}} now allows the player to select from one of its 15 unique flag designs—or the player's original flag design—as opposed to cycling through its options. Smeargle can be also called as many times per day as the player likes.
* [[Rank (Mystery Dungeon)|Rescue Rank]]s have been revamped.
** The accommodation size for the various Friend Camps and the maximum {{OBP|Job|Mystery Dungeon|jobs}} that can be accepted at a time increase depending on the player's rank.
* The [[Makuhita Dojo]] has been revamped. Only one Pokémon may enter at a time. They will be given a small, one floor dungeon with no staircase to explore.
** The player is given a time limit and [[experience]] multiplier, depending on the ticket given.
*** Bronze Dojo Tickets give the player a 3× EXP and Move XP multiplier, and a 50-second time-limit.
*** Silver Dojo Tickets give the player a 5× EXP and Move XP multiplier, and a 55-second time-limit.
*** Gold Dojo Tickets give the player a 7× EXP and Move XP multiplier, and a 60-second time-limit.
*** Using a super-effective move against a Pokémon once will yield even more experience.
** Mazes have also been changed. Mazes contain Pokémon who are weak to the namesake maze type, except for the Normal Maze.
** If the Pokémon faints in the Dojo, it will be revived without the need of a Reviver Seed.
** No PP is consumed for using moves in the Dojo.
* [[Friend Area]]s and the {{DL|Pokémon Square|Wigglytuff Club}} are replaced by rescue team camps and [[Wigglytuff's Camp Corner]], respectively.
* In dungeons with multiple parts—such as [[Mt. Thunder]]—reaching a checkpoint will no longer count as "making it out" for recruited Pokémon. Additionally, the floor count does not reset.
*The speed at which HP regenerates over time is now inversely proportional to a Pokémon's max HP, rather than proportional to it, dropping to a minimum rate of 1 HP every 2 steps at 100 max HP. HP will also no longer regenerate on turns where moves or items were used.
* {{p|Munchlax}}'s cameo event can happen at any point in the story. Upon giving Munchlax an Apple, Munchlax will reward the player with unique items or Gummis.
* The pool of TMs has been changed to match that of {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}.
* After [[Tiny Woods]] has been completed for the first time, players can switch leaders at any time in a dungeon by pushing +.
* In the original, all but nine fully evolved Pokémon could not be recruited and had to be obtained by evolution. Now, all wild fully evolved Pokémon can be directly recruited.
* The names of the player's main character, partner, and rescue team can be changed in the main menu.
* The four dungeons linked to Nintendo events or Wonder Mail codes—[[Oddity Cave]], [[Remains Island]], [[Fantasy Strait]], and [[Marvelous Sea]]—can now be accessed through normal gameplay.
** [[Oddity Cave]] can be accessed once the player has beaten [[Mt. Steel]] for the first time.
** [[Remains Island]] can be accessed once the player has beaten [[Sky Tower]] for the first time.
** [[Fantasy Strait]], and [[Marvelous Sea]] can be accessed once the player has beaten [[Western Cave]] for the first time.
* [[Illusory Grotto]] can be accessed briefly after the player has fainted and gives up rescue in a dungeon. The number of floors and Pokémon encountered there vary.
* Some dungeons' lengths have been changed; most notably, Western Cave is now only 20 floors, as opposed to 99, while [[Mt. Faraway]] is now 60 floors instead of 40.
* The later dungeons, such as Far-Off Sea and Waterfall Pond, no longer require a team member to know specific HMs or have a specific type to be accessed.
* Wild Pokémon in dungeons can now have more HP than normal, with their HP returning to normal when they are recruited. Additionally, their movesets may also change when recruited.
** This is especially noticeable in [[Unown Relic]], where all of the wild Unown are level 37, which would normally result in a HP of 65, but in later floors they can have over 200 HP.

==Characters==
===Playable characters===
The {{player}} is able to choose one of the 16 returning Pokémon from the original game as their starter and partner Pokémon. However, the partner cannot be the same [[type]] as the player. The player may, as in the prior [[Nintendo DS]] titles, choose the player Pokémon using a quiz, or as in the [[Wii|WiiWare]] and [[Nintendo 3DS]] titles, choose a Pokémon themselves. Unlike the original games, the player character choices are not restricted by the player's selected [[gender]] and the partner is not restricted to starter Pokémon anymore.

* The "Mystery Dungeon" text font for the logo is based on the European design used for previous games, even for the North American release.
* Although this was released during [[Generation VIII]], nothing introduced during said [[generation]] exists in this game, including new [[move]]s and {{Abilities}}.
* The Empowerment Seed introduced in this game triggering [[Mega Evolution]] may be a reference to the first Mega Evolution—Mega {{p|Mewtwo}} Y in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''—being originally referred to as Mewtwo's "Awakened" form.

(Japanese: '''ハリマロン、起つ''' ''{{tt|Harimaron|Chespin}}, Rise'') is the 559th round of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
At {{DL|Lumiose City|Lysandre Café}}, [[Lysandre]] introduces himself to {{adv|Y}}, {{adv|Trevor}}, {{adv|Shauna}}, and {{adv|Tierno}}. He then asks to have Trevor's [[Holo Caster]] so that he can repair it for him, Y then sees her favorite movie playing on TV and watches it with {{p|Froakie}}. Trevor wants to ask Lysandre if he was at [[Vaniville Town]] when {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}} attacked the town, because a shadow in one of [[Viola]]'s photos looks like him. However, Trevor is too scared and can't get the words out. Then, Lysandre tells Trevor that he saw him looking at pictures and that he would like to see them. Trevor tries to escape with Shauna and Tierno and tries to get Y's attention, but Trevor, Shauna, and Tierno are surrounded by [[Lysandre's Pyroar]], {{p|Gyarados}}, and {{p|Mienfoo}}.

Meanwhile, at [[Professor Sycamore]]'s Lab, {{adv|X}} continues to battle Professor Sycamore]. Professor Sycamore's {{p|Charmander}} is easily defeating {{p|Chespin}} due to X not giving commands. Charmander has nearly knocked out Chespin when Professor Sycamore tells X that if Chespin loses, it's all his fault. Chespin then gets back up to continue battling and dodges Charmander's {{m|Ember}} attack. X gets so heated up, that he commands Chespin to go behind Charmander and use {{m|Rollout}}. However, Chespin faints X and calls him [[Marisso]]. This surprises Sycamore and is even more surprised after X asks for the Charmander, however X senses that Y and the others are in danger.

Back at Lysandre Café, Y notices that Trevor and the others are surrounded, but the [[Pokémon Champion]] [[Diantha]] sees them in danger and helps them. Trevor then runs with the others to the boys bathroom while Diantha [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolves]] her {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}} and tells Lysandre that if he had more time, he would have attacked the children. After Lysandre talks about Diantha's first movie role, [[Xerosic]] contacts him to say he found Xerneas as a tree and he needs to come right now. Lysandre leaves the café and says that he fixed the Holo Caster. Y then comes out of the bathroom to get the Holo Caster and to talk to Diantha, however Diacntha's fans find her thanks to Y's shouting so they decide to leave through the back door. After leaving the café Trevor faints because of seeing Mega Gardevoir, meanwhile Lysandre tells his Gyarados that it can Mega Evolve to make it feel better. The group then find X, who is riding on a {{p|Gogoat}}.

==Major events==
* [[Lysandre]] begins fixing {{adv|Trevor}}'s [[Holo Caster]].
* Trevor tries to ask Lysandre about the photo, but is too scared to speak.
* When Lysandre notices, he sends his Pokémon out to coerce Trevor into giving him the photo.
* {{adv|X}} battles [[Professor Sycamore]] with {{p|Chespin}}, but shows no interest.
* Chespin's refusal to back down impresses X enough to battle with it, but they end up losing to [[Salamè|Charmander]].
* X decides to keep Chespin and names it [[Marisso]].
* X tells Professor Sycamore to give him Charmander as well.
* X senses his friends are in trouble and heads off to Lysandre Café.
* {{adv|Y}} and her friends are protected by [[Diantha]], who tells Lysandre to back off of his threats.
* Lysandre gets a call from [[Xerosic]] about [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] and leaves to do other business.
* Y recognizes Diantha as a famous movie star.
* After Diantha leaves, Trevor falls unconscious from stress.
* Lysandre tells his {{p|Gyarados}} that it will also be able to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] as he looks at its [[Mega Stone]].
* Y's group meets up with X.

List of references to Pokémon in popular culture

2020-08-23T04:41:45Z

Pikatwig: /* Non-Pokémon video games */

{{PA}}
{{fan speculation}}
This is a list of '''references to Pokémon in popular culture''', instances where television shows, music and video clips, or other non-[[Pokémon]] media explicitly mention the Pokémon franchise (or a specific {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}). This includes only ''notable'' references, where they must either refer to specific details of the Pokémon franchise, or else play an important role in the work making the reference. The following list is divided by the medium of the work, then sorted alphabetically by the name of the work making the reference.

References that simply mention the Pokémon franchise, use a Pokémon catchphrase, or have a Pokémon character or item briefly appear in the background or as a visual gag are listed separately on the [[list of background references to Pokémon]]. They are also distinct from parodies, which are listed separately on the [[list of Pokémon parodies]]. This list also excludes mere resemblances between character designs, non-fiction shows mentioning the existence of Pokémon, or news shows discussing Pokémon-related news, as well as game show questions about Pokémon.

==List of references to Pokémon in popular culture==
===Science===
* '''{{wp|Aerodactylus}} scolopaciceps''' was renamed from ''Pterodactylus scolopaciceps'' in October 2014 due to a newly discovered {{wp|taxon}}omic separation. The name refers to {{p|Aerodactyl}}, a Pokémon based on various pterosaur species because it "seemed a pertinent name for a genus which has been synonymous with ''Pterodatylus'' for so long due to a combination of features".<ref>[http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0110646#s5 PLOS ONE: The Problem of Cryptic Pterosaur Taxa in Early Ontogeny]</ref>
* '''{{wp|Bulbasaurus}} phylloxyron''', a species of dicynodonts (precursors to early mammals) discovered in January 2017. Although officially named after the bulbous shape of its nose, the scientist who named the species made several references to Pokémon on twitter while presenting the species. In addition, phylloxyron literally means "Razor Leaf".<ref name="Synapsid article">[http://blogs.plos.org/paleocomm/2017/01/31/synapsida-gotta-catch-em-all/ Synapsida – Gotta catch ‘em all!]</ref><ref name="Real-life taxonomic influence">[https://peerj.com/articles/2913/ An early geikiid dicynodont from the ''Tropidostoma'' Assemblage Zone (late Permian) of South Africa]</ref>
* '''Chilicola {{p|Charizard}}''', a species of stem-nesting bee, which received its name in May 2016.<ref>[http://zookeys.pensoft.net/articles.php?id=7731 A revision of ''Chilicola'' (''Heteroediscelis''), a subgenus of xeromelissine bees (Hymenoptera, Colletidae) endemic to Chile: taxonomy, phylogeny, and biogeography, with descriptions of eight new species]</ref>
* '''{{wp|Pikachurin}}''', a protein discovered by Japanese researches in 2008, which helps carry electrical impulses from the eyes to the brain. The name refers to the Pokémon and to the protein possessing "lightning-fast moves and shocking electric effects".
* '''Pokemon''' was the temporary name of gene {{wp|Zbtb7}}. The name officially stood for "POK erythroid myeloid ontogenic factor", likely as a reference in the form of a {{wp|backronym}}.

* A ''{{wp|FoxTrot (comic strip)|FoxTrot}}'' [http://www.gocomics.com/foxtrot/2011/04/03 comic strip from April 3, 2011] has Jason and Peter playing catch. After he tossed, Jason shouted "I choose you, {{p|Gigalith}}!" He later mentioned he had played a lot of Pokémon recently as Peter questions why the ball was shaking. This strip was released weeks after the release of {{game|Black and White|s}}.
* In {{wp|Rick Riordan}}'s book ''{{wp|The Mark of Athena}}'', war-crazed Coach Hedge is sailing a ship while singing the [[Pokémon Theme]], replacing the [[Gotta catch 'em all!]] catchphrase with "Gotta ''Kill'' 'Em All".
* In the tenth book in the ''{{wp|Jigsaw Jones Mysteries}}'' series, ''The Case of the Ghostwriter'', Stringbean hires Jigsaw to take the case by offering him bubblegum, a {{wp|Darth Maul}} pencil eraser, a rubber band ball, $0.36, and a {{tcg|Diglett}} card. Jigsaw calls Diglett too common, so Stringbean instead offers a First Edition {{tcg|Gloom}} card, which he accepts.
* A ''{{wp|Mother Goose and Grimm}}'' [http://www.grimmy.com/images/MGG_Archive/MGG_2014/MGG-2014-05-31.gif comic strip from May 31, 2014] featured a pair of Pikachu. It portrayed how the species got its name in a satirical manner.
* On the cover of the fourth issue of {{wp|Archie Comics}} third {{wp|Sabrina the Teenage Witch}} comic book series, Sabrina and her friend Chloe are playing a card game when bully Slugloaf walks by saying "Those [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|trading cards]] are so lame! There's no such thing as Pocket Monsters!" Sabrina magically makes a large monster appear from his back pocket in response.
* In Volume 5, Chapter 1 of the ''{{wp|Sword Art Online}}'' light novel series, when discussing possible ways for someone to shoot a bullet in virtual reality and kill someone else in real life, Kirito mentions an instance in which animation effects in an [[EP038|episode]] of a certain {{pkmn|anime}} caused children across Japan to become sick. This reference was not retained in Episode 1 of the anime adaptation's second season, which directly adapts the chapter.
* Mangaka {{wp|Ume Aoki}} frequently represents herself in her works as "Ume-sensei", a crude chibi representation of herself dressed as a {{p|Metapod}}. Ume-sensei most notably appears in Aoki's famed manga ''{{wp|Hidamari Sketch}}''.
* In "What She Does Next Will Astound You", the third novel based on the BBC sci-fi drama {{wp|Class (2016 TV series)|Class}}, one of the dares on the website truthordare.com is to "play ''[[Pokémon GO]]'' underwater".
* In a ''{{wp|Zits}}'' [http://comicskingdom.com/zits/2015-05-22 comic from May 22, 2015], Jeremy asks his mother if she has seen his [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|Pokémon cards]] and freaks out when she said she threw them out years ago.

* A ''{{wp|B.C. (comic strip)|B.C.}}'' [https://www.gocomics.com/bc/2018/10/06 strip from October 6, 2018] has a clairvoyant tell of various species going extinct. When he clarifies that it does not apply to all of them, the scene zooms out to show a {{p|Charizard}}.
* In ''{{wp|Monica's Gang}}'', Pokémon is parodied in several stories, usually referred to by the characters by the name "Pokemão". One of the stories is ''Pequemônica'' (Globo's Mônica #163), where the characters find an alien box similar to a {{i|Poké Ball}}, from which they release several monsters belonging to an alien villain similar to [[Ash Ketchum]], and the characters end up being transformed into little monsters with powers. Another story is ''Pokecão'' (Globo's Mônica #167), where the character Glu accidentally ends up changing to resemble Pikachu after being struck by lightning in the tail. The story also features dogs parodying [[Jessie]] and [[James]] and a scene with the writers dressed as Pokémon.
* In ''Solitaire'' by {{wp|Alice Oseman}}, the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] was played between the protagonist, Tori Spring, and her childhood friend, Lucas Ryan, when they were young. When they meet up many years later, they talk about how they use to play as an example of their lost connection.

The story received a sequel on April 17, 2001, called ''[https://inducks.org/story.php?c=D+2000-084&search= Kampen om kræene]'' (''Battle for the Battle Beasties'' in the English version). This story, possibly as a reference to [[Generation II]], introduced some creatures not seen in the first story. In some translations, including Italian and Portuguese, the creatures are referred to by titles more similar to Pokémon, like Kukemon and Bobomon.
* In chapter 980 of the {{wp|One Piece}} manga series, Eustass Kid is seen attacking Scratchmen Apoo with a large arm made of scrap metal. Two {{p|Meltan}} can be seen embedded in Kid's mechanical arm.

''Nengan no kanojo [[Gotta catch 'em all!|getto da ze!]]''", as the character singing the line has Ash's face, holding a sphere with a female face inside, much like a Poké Ball.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26IPBZAfsbE リア充ってこんなもんだっけfeat.ディスクン星人]</ref>

==Blurb==

At the Lumiose airport, Ash is heading home to Kanto, Serena is catching a flight to Hoenn, and Clemont and Bonnie have come to see them off. Dedenne doesn’t seem to understand what’s happening, and when Bonnie explains that it’s time to say goodbye to their friends, Dedenne throws a tantrum and runs off to hide!

Bonnie soon coaxes it back with a moving speech about pursuing their dreams together, and then it’s time for Serena’s flight and an emotional farewell to Ash. Clemont has the perfect idea for passing the time until Ash has to leave—a battle between Pikachu and Bunnelby, just like on the day they met!

==Plot==
{{Ash}} makes a phone call to {{an|Professor Oak}} and {{Delia}}, although he first has to deal with {{AP|Pikachu}} saying hello a little too close. Delia thanks {{an|Serena}}, {{an|Clemont}}, and {{an|Bonnie}} for accompanying Ash on his [[Kalos]] journey, and they assure her the pleasure was theirs as they've learned a lot from traveling with him and had a lot of fun too. Ash tells his mom that he has a lot of stories to tell and will be starting the trip back to [[Kanto]] that afternoon, and Professor Oak assures him they'll be waiting. Delia wishes her son a safe journey, and extends an open invitation to Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie to visit anytime. The call ends, and Ash tells Pikachu that it's time to start getting ready, making Bonnie start to realize their journey is indeed about to come to an end.

Later, the gang tuck into lunch; however, Serena notices that Bonnie has barely eaten anything. Bonnie shrugs it off by claiming to have eaten too many sweets earlier, and as Clemont begins to remind her about not eating just before meals, the doorbell rings. The gang find that {{an|Professor Sycamore}}, [[Alain]], [[Mairin]], and [[Chespie]] have arrived, with Sycamore telling them that he just called to say a final goodbye before Ash and Serena leave.

[[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} make a report to {{an|Giovanni}} detailing how they single-handedly brought down [[Team Flare]] and destroyed the [[Giant Rock]], thanks to doctored footage, while claiming that their goal was their entire reason for coming to Kalos in the first place. Giovanni tells them that it's obvious they did play a role in stopping Team Flare and congratulates them on a job well done before ordering them to report back to the {{an|Team Rocket HQ}}. The three then celebrate with their Pokémon that the altered footage worked and that Giovanni is pleased with them, before rushing off to catch the first plane back to Kanto.

Ash is surprised to have been told that Alain and Mairin are leaving on a new journey to [[Frost Cavern]] as part of Professor Sycamore's research. Sycamore explains the discovery that the {{ci|Anistar}} Sundial is now emitting energy whenever sunlight shines on it that can be used to pin down the location of [[Mega Stone]]s, meaning that there should be a Mega Stone somewhere in Frost Cavern. Mairin explains that many other locations have been identified too, all of which will be checked out as part of her and Alain's investigation. Ash then notices that Alain is no longer wearing his [[Mega Ring]], and Alain explains that because he had received it from [[Lysandre]], he gave it to the authorities to use as evidence, knowing full well that he would no longer be able to Mega Evolve his {{TP|Alain|Charizard}}. Alain tells Ash that he has decided to follow his example and start from scratch with the intention of finding the Mega Stone on his own, and hopes that one day when they're both strong enough again they will battle once more. Ash promises him that they will, and the two friends bid each other a final goodbye. Chespie says farewell to [[Clemont's Chespin]], who begins to cry. Mairin thanks Serena for her help in rescuing Chespie from [[Lysandre Labs]], but Serena shrugs off the thanks by saying that Mairin played as much of a role as she did. Sycamore tells the gang before he leaves that he looks forward to reuniting with them all one day, and the gang bid him, Alain, Mairin, and Chespie goodbye. Ash then realizes it's time for them to prepare to leave too, causing Bonnie to become sad again.

At Lumiose Airport, the gang discover that Serena's flight to [[Hoenn]] will be leaving before Ash's flight and decide to take the chance to let out all their Pokémon to say farewell, warning them that they may not see each other again for quite a long time. There are many fond farewells among the Pokémon, with much sadness and tears. {{TP|Serena|Braixen}} walks up to {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} to say goodbye; however, Dedenne can't bring himself to. Bonnie sadly tells him that they need to say goodbye, but Dedenne begins to get upset and instead escapes from Bonnie's arms and runs through the airport. Giving chase, and using Pikachu's electricity, they track down Dedenne who is hiding behind a video monitor. Everyone asks Dedenne to emerge but he refuses to. Bonnie tells him she understands how he feels because she feels exactly the same; she feels very close to everyone and their Pokémon and her dream is that they could all stay together forever. However, she explains that she understands that Ash and Serena have their own dreams and they need to leave to pursue them, just as she has her own dream of one day becoming a Pokémon Trainer with Dedenne as her partner. She hopes to one day defeat Serena in a [[Pokémon Showcase]] and win against Ash in a Pokémon battle and knows that saying goodbye is just another step on that journey, and so that's why they should be happy, too, since it brings them all closer to their dreams. Dedenne is still upset, but emerges and jumps into Bonnie's arms. Ash asks Dedenne to help Bonnie achieve her dream and looks forward to facing Bonnie in a battle someday, although he doesn't intend to lose. Serena concurs, promising to face and try and win against Bonnie in a Showcase. Clemont also looks forward to when he can face her in a Gym battle. This helps both Dedenne and Bonnie to cheer up, knowing they still have a lot to look forward to.

Soon it is time for Serena to leave. She thanks Ash, Clemont, and Bonnie for all of their help throughout her first journey. Clemont asks her to call them occasionally, while Bonnie tells her she'll come and find her once she's started her journey. Serena then tells Ash she's glad she sought him out when she began her journey and that he is her ultimate goal. Ash is briefly taken aback. She vows to seek him out again someday as a more mature woman, and Ash voices his approval. As Serena is carried down the escalator, she quickly turns around again, asking for one last thing from Ash. She runs back up the escalator and is seen leaning in towards Ash, but her farewell is not shown directly. As the escalator pulls her back downwards again, Clemont, Bonnie, and Pikachu are stunned and blushing. Ash's face remains blank for a while, while Serena is also blushing as she moves away. Serena thanks them, and they all recover to bid her an enthusiastic farewell.
[[File:XY140 Ash VS Clemont.png|thumb|left|250px|Ash facing Clemont]]
Outside the airport, Ash, Clemont, and Bonnie watch as Serena's plane leaves. Clemont hopes Serena will be okay, and Ash assures him that she'll be fine and will become stronger in Hoenn. Clemont also promises to become stronger and invent devices that will help people and Pokémon. The three have some more time before Ash's plane leaves, so Clemont has a request for Ash before he leaves; he wishes to end their adventure in Kalos as it began: with a {{pkmn|battle}}. Ash happily agrees, and sends Pikachu up against {{TP|Clemont|Bunnelby}} as Bonnie watches. The two Trainers, as would be expected, battle to their hardest.

As the sun sets in Kalos, Clemont and Bonnie watch as Ash's plane flies away. On a bright sunny day in Hoenn, Serena arrives, ready to begin a new adventure as she recalls her previous adventures: choosing {{p|Fennekin}} as her starter Pokémon, meeting {{TP|Serena|Pancham}} and {{TP|Serena|Eevee|Sylveon}}, finding her calling as a [[Pokémon Performer]], and getting a chance to strive for the title of {{DL|Pokémon Performer|Kalos Queen}}. At the [[Lumiose Gym|Prism Tower]], Clemont works on an [[Clemontic Gear|invention]] (assisted by [[Clembot]]) as he remembers meeting Ash, getting to invent various devices, reuniting with {{TP|Clemont|Luxio|Luxray}}, eventually facing Ash in a Gym Battle and having to sacrifice his first Clembot to help defeat Team Flare. Bonnie recalls all the Pokémon she got to meet throughout the journey and formed special relationships with: {{p|Flabébé}}, {{p|Lapras}}, {{p|Tyrunt}}, and [[Squishy]]. At his lab, Professor Sycamore helps a {{tc|Youngster}} choose his first Pokémon before taking a call from Alain and Mairin. In Frost Cavern, Alain, Mairin, Charizard, and Chespie take in the wonderful sights as Alain looks forward to his fresh start. At the ruins of the Lysandre Labs, [[Sawyer]] is living his dream as he assists {{Steven}} with his investigation of the site. In a forest, {{an|Shauna}}, {{an|Tierno}}, and {{an|Trevor}} enjoy meeting the various Pokémon that live there. At {{rt|14|Kalos|the wetlands}}, {{AP|Goodra}} continues its role as caregiver as it breaks up a squabble between a {{p|Lotad}} and a {{p|Wooper}}. Nearby, {{AP|Greninja}} destroys another vine made of negative energy while being watched over by Squishy and [[Z2]], continuing its role as protector of Kalos.

On his plane, Ash looks out at the passing seascape as he recalls his adventures in Kalos: arriving in the region with [[Alexa]], making new friends and meeting new Pokémon, defeating [[Gym Leader]]s, finding new [[rival]]s, going on new adventures, meeting with Team Rocket various times, deepening his relationship with Froakie and eventually unlocking the power of the [[Bond Phenomenon]], making it to the finals of the [[Lumiose Conference]] against Alain, and destroying the Giant Rock and taking down Team Flare with the help of the Gym Leaders of Kalos, [[Diantha]], Steven, [[Malva]], and {{p|Zygarde}}. He then recalls his final goodbye with Greninja, before leaving him so he could meet his own destiny.

It is the middle of the night when Ash arrives at the outskirts of [[Pallet Town]], and the young Trainer spends a few seconds regarding his hometown before continuing. Arriving home, he sees the lights are still on and knows his mom is waiting. Taking a moment to reflect that they have another wonderful adventure behind them, Ash and Pikachu enter the house ready for the day when they'll go on their next Pokémon journey.

[[File:Title Card XY Ash V2.png|200px|thumb|The title card segment focuses on Ash for this episode]]
[[File:XY140 Sun Moon Reference.png|200px|thumb|The Sun & Moon reference]]
[[File:And to our own way.png|250px|thumb|And to our own way]]
* [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Holo Caster]]: [[Mega Evolution]]
* Unlike the final episodes of the previous four [[series]], the phrase "''Next Time... A New Beginning!''" is not used; instead being replaced with "''And to our own way''" in golden cursive writing, likely as a reference to the ending of the [[Pokémon X and Y]] games.
** This practice would later be replicated at the end of [[SM146|the last episode]] of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', this time using the phrase "''...and your dreams!''".
* The English [[dub]] was released on [[iTunes]] and [[Prime Video]] on January 8, 2017, thirteen days before the episode aired in {{pmin|the United States}}. The same occurred for all episodes in Volume 4 of [[S19|Pokémon the Series: XYZ]] that aired after an all-day marathon of ''{{wp|Teen Titans Go! (TV series)|Teen Titans Go!}}'' on November 26, 2016, and before January 11, 2017, when the error was fixed (''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'' through ''Till We Compete Again!'').
** However, the episode was pulled from [[iTunes]] and Amazon on January 11, 2017, although those who had already purchased and downloaded the episode could still view it. It was later released again on iTunes and Amazon on January 22, 2017, the day it was supposed to be released.
* This is the last episode to have a frame rate of 30 frames per second. In ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', the episodes return to a frame rate of 24 frames per second, which was used previously in the [[original series]] and ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''.
* {{TRT}} does not perform the motto or blast off in this episode.
* An instrumental version of Relic Song from ''[[PK24|Meloetta's Moonlight Serenade]]'' is used when {{Ash}}, {{an|Bonnie}}, and {{an|Clemont}} separate with {{an|Serena}} in the airport. This music is replaced in the dub.
* The full version of [[V (Volt)]] is used as an insert song at the end of the episode, being played over clips of previous episodes (substituting the usual ending sequence).
* This episode was followed by a preview of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''.
* The {{p|Solrock}} and {{p|Lunatone}} souvenirs that Team Rocket drops at the airport while returning to the {{an|Team Rocket HQ}} in [[Kanto]] are likely a reference to ''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon''.
* {{an|Professor Sycamore}} narrates the preview for the [[XYS05|next episode]].
* This is the final main series episode to air on Cartoon Network in {{pmin|the United States}}.
* Ash's last battle in the [[Kalos]] region is against Clemont, which is a callback to the episode ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', in which Ash has his first battle in Kalos against him as well.
* The aerial view of the [[Hoenn]] airport Serena arrives at is a direct copy of {{wp|Kansai International Airport}} in Osaka, Japan, while the entrance gate she is shown at is almost identical to the {{wp|Saga Airport}} in Saga, Japan.
** In the real world, the Saga Airport is located in {{wp|Kyushu}}, the [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Hoenn|basis]] of the Hoenn region, and the Kansai International Airport is located in the {{wp|Kansai}} region of Japan, the [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Johto|basis]] of the [[Johto]] region.
* This finale marks the first time the regional professor has appeared in the last episode of the series in which they were introduced.
* When Ash arrives home, the flowers seen next to his house are {{wp|Gypsophila|baby's-breath}}. {{cat|Episodes directed by Tetsuo Yajima|Tetsuo Yajima}} stated in a {{wp|Twitter|tweet}} that the presence of these flowers was meant to be symbolic to their meaning in the {{wp|language of flowers|flower language}} (innocence, pure of heart).
* This episode is [[Delia Ketchum]]'s only appearance in ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'' and first appearance overall since ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'', 140 episodes prior.
* This episode has the second longest credits sequence of any episode, with the credits being displayed onscreen over a span of two minutes.
* This is the last episode where [[Kayzie Rogers]] voices {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}. [[Erica Schroeder]] takes on the role starting from ''[[SM003|Loading the Dex!]]''.
* According to an interview with Yajima, Serena did kiss Ash. However, the cutaway and ambiguity of the scene had to be implemented so that it could be on TV in the first place.<ref>https://forums.serebii.net/threads/pok%C3%A9mon-the-series-xy-pok%C3%A9mon-the-series-xy-z.654751/page-5#post-18312722</ref>

===Errors===

===Dub edits===
* In the Japanese version, Delia apologizes to Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie for any trouble Ash might have been, while in the dub, she simply asks how they are.
* [[V (Volt)]] is replaced by an instrumental medley of [[Pokémon Theme#Opening animation: Dub OP 17|Pokémon Theme (Version XY)]] and [[Be a Hero]] in U.S and international versions. In the Thai dub, [[Long Long Time]] plays. In the Korean dub, [[Beyond the Limit]] plays.
* In the United States Cartoon Network airing, Ash's flashback sequence is shortened by one minute and 20 seconds. Because of this, the credits are played for their normal 30-second duration after the end of the episode, rather than displayed over two minutes of the flashback sequence as in the Japanese version and the iTunes and Amazon version.

4Kids Entertainment

2020-07-02T06:01:57Z

Pikatwig: /* History */

[[File:2nd 4kids logo.png|right|thumb|The company's former logo]]
'''4Kids Entertainment''' was an American company which was responsible for the production of the English-language version of the [[Pokémon anime]] from 1998 until 2005 (seasons 1 through 8). They were also in charge of English productions for a number of other anime series, as well as creating original series from 1997 to 2013. Among anime fans, the company was notorious for its heavy editing of Japanese versions of series such as ''{{wp|One Piece}}'' and ''{{wp|Yu-Gi-Oh}}''. However, Pokémon is among its most faithful adaptations. The company also handled licensing for many other Nintendo products and properties, including ''{{fzw|F-Zero: GP Legend (anime)|F-Zero}}'' and ''{{wk|Kirby: Right Back at Ya!|Kirby}}'', until the licensing agreement expired in 2005.

==History==
4Kids was in charge of dubbing the Pokémon anime for English language audiences for the first eight seasons. Despite their massive contributions to the anime and the Pokémon franchise as a whole, there have been many critics. Some fans felt that some important information, facts, or emotions expressed in the original version were lost in translation. Frequent move errors, type matchup errors, and most infamously, poor quality in the [[Pokémon Trainer's Choice]] segments have led fans to believe 4Kids had very little knowledge or interest in the Pokémon franchise.

4Kids-exclusive content includes the English theme songs (not the intro animations), [[Pokérap]], songs that appeared in [[Pikachu's Jukebox]] and [[Pokémon Karaokémon]], and the [[2.B.A. Master]] album.

While they were the producer of the dub, 4Kids did not start dubbing the series at their own studio until 2003, where they took it from [[TAJ Productions]]. Their first dubbed episode in-house was ''[[EP263|Address Unown!]]''.

Starting with the TV special ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'' and continuing from season 9 onward, Pokémon USA (now known as [[The Pokémon Company International]]) maintained the English language version of the Pokémon anime. Beginning in May 2008, 4Kids took control of the {{DL|Pokémon in the United States|Kids' WB!}} block. The block was relabeled as {{wp|The CW4Kids}}. 4Kids announced that, in order to retain control of The CW4Kids, 4KidsTV would move online instead of airing through FOX affiliates as of January 1, 2009. This block was later replaced with {{wp|Toonzai}}, which was also owned by 4Kids. In 2012, 4Kids also ended the Toonzai block. Saban Brands then created the block called {{wp|Vortexx}}, claiming Toonzai's previous timeslot. This block was cancelled in 2014. As of 2015, many 4Kids television dubs no longer air on American television, with the exception of the early seasons of Pokémon and the Pokémon movies that they dubbed.

On June 1, 2010, the {{wp|New York Stock Exchange}} delisted 4Kids from their listings.

{{wp|TV Tokyo}} and {{wp|Nihon Ad Systems}} sued 4Kids Entertainment on March 24, 2011 due to "underpayments, wrongful deductions, and unmet obligations" concerning the ''Yu-Gi-Oh'' franchise. TV Tokyo and Nihon claimed that 4Kids' collaboration with {{wp|Funimation Entertainment}} violated their original contract and enabled 4Kids to hide income amassed from home video production. They sought $4,792,460.36 USD in damages as a result. <ref>http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2011-03-29/tv-tokyo-nihon-ad-terminate-yu-gi-oh-deal-sue-4kids</ref> In the midst of the lawsuit, 4Kids filed for {{wp|Chapter 11 Bankruptcy}} protection on April 6, 2011. The lawsuit was settled on February 29, 2012, with 4Kids retaining rights to the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise after a judge ruled that TV Tokyo and NAS had improperly terminated their agreement with 4Kids.<ref>http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2011-12-31/4kids-yu-gi-oh-license-is-still-in-force-court-rules</ref>

In June of 2012, {{wp|Saban Brands}} purchased the rights to several of 4Kids' anime properties, including ''{{wp|Dragon Ball Z}}'', ''{{wp|Sonic X}}'', ''{{wp|Cubix}}'', and the Toonzai block. Rights to the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise were sold to {{wp|Konami}}, who also acquired 4Kids Productions and reincorporated it as 4K Media.<ref>https://twitter.com/nickandmore/status/213805772507856896</ref>

On December 5, 2012, 4Kids Entertainment announced that it had ended a dispute over the so-called Pokémon agreement with The Pokémon Company International, under which TPCi would get a $1 million general, unsecured claim against the debtor.

On December 13, 2012, 4Kids announced that they exited their bankruptcy and would be reworking the structure of their company.

On December 21, 2012, 4Kids was reincorporated as '''4Licensing Corporation''' and no longer licensed anime.

On September 21, 2016, 4Kids filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. This bankruptcy plan has been in effect as of February 7, 2017.

==In-house voice directors==
*[[Darren Dunstan]] ([[EP263]]-[[EP274]], [[AG003]]-[[AG145]])

==Typical edits==
Common complaints from fans concern 4Kids' tendency to edit some parts of the anime programming to make it more appropriate for the American audience, primarily children and pre-teenagers. These edits can be broken down into several categories.

* Cultural changes: Scenes relating to Japanese culture were often edited to be more accessible to American audiences. One example of this is the renaming of [[rice ball|onigiri]], which have been called a variety of things from donuts to popcorn balls.

* Dialog edits: Sometimes a character's lines were edited so as to change the meaning. For example, in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'''s dub, Attila is Hun's new partner, whereas they had known each other for years in the original.

* Puns: Occasionally, puns made were lost in translation. Frequently, puns would be inserted instead where they were not before, such as in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'', where Meowth ''pun''-ishes Jessie and James. Puns were also used in the episode titles, a practice which [[The Pokémon Company International]] decided to continue until the start of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''.

* Music edits: In the first three seasons and some of the movies, 4Kids kept most of the original Japanese music in the dub and added their own pieces to fill moments of silence. All original music was kept from the [[M04|fourth movie]] onward, excluding openings and endings and the title screen music for the fourth and [[M05|fifth]] movies. From seasons [[S04|four]] to [[S08|eight]] (including Pokémon Chronicles), 4Kids replaced most of the Japanese music with their own music.

* Paint edits: Paint edits were usually made to remove Japanese text, but they were also done for things such as turning an onigiri into a sandwich in ''[[AG092|Judgment Day!]]''.

* Cuts: Some scenes were removed completely, sometimes due to time constraints. Often, however, they were removed in the name of censorship, such as with James's breast scene in ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]'' or in cases of 'excessive' violence.

* Scene switches: Occasionally, scenes were moved around. For example, several attacks are performed out of order in ''[[AG095|The Evolutionary War!]]''.

* Motto: Team Rocket's motto usually changed slightly in each episode in the dub, yet, in most cases, it stayed exactly the same in the original.

* Openings/endings: 4Kids created their own openings using their own music. While the original had its own unique ending, the dub would either simply run a shorter version of the opening along the left side of the screen or use an instrumental version of the opening song for the ending.

* [[Who's That Pokémon?]]: Often, the Pokémon, layout, and presentation were different in the original. During the [[S01|first season]], the Pokémon were usually the same as in the Japanese version. In the [[S02|second]] and [[S03|third]] seasons, the segment mostly had a Pokémon starring in the following episode. From seasons [[S04|four]] to [[S06|six]], the Pokémon were completely random. Although this feature stopped in Japan at the end of the Johto saga, it continued through [[S06|Pokémon: Advanced]] in the dub. For [[S07|Pokémon: Advanced Challenge]], this was replaced by {{pkmn|Trainer's Choice}}.

* [[Kanto Pokérap|Pokérap]]/[[Pikachu's Jukebox]]/[[Pokémon Karaokémon]]: These music video segments shown in the early seasons of the dub were not present in the original.

==Blurb==

When big trouble threatens the big city, it’s up to Ash, Pikachu, and their friends to stop it!

A vast Pokémon habitat amid the hustle and bustle of the big city seems like the perfect new home for a group of five Genesect. The arrival of these Mythical Pokémon quickly becomes a problem, though: their nest threatens the city’s power supply, and they keep attacking anyone who approaches it. On top of that, they’ve attracted the attention of the Legendary Pokémon Mewtwo, who sympathizes with them because its own origins also involve human tampering. The group’s leader, known as Red Genesect, doesn’t trust Mewtwo, and their confrontation quickly rages out of control! Can Ash and friends stop these two powerful Pokémon before they destroy the city?

==Plot==
{{OBP|Mewtwo|M16}} is flying with a group of {{type|Flying}} Pokémon over a mountain range, and later the ocean. Deciding to challenge the limits of its power, Mewtwo flies ahead, [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] into Mega Mewtwo Y and ascending into the sky. Meanwhile, the [[Genesect Army]] arrives at a snowy area that their leader, a {{Shiny|Red}} Genesect, believes to be their home. Confused and distressed, the Genesect carrying the [[Douse Drive]] calls out, "I want to go home."

Mewtwo reaches the atmosphere, but realizes it cannot stay there and begins falling. After changing back to its ordinary form, Mewtwo hears the Water Genesect's plea and rushes off to find them. An avalanche begins, and Mewtwo arrives in time to save the four regular Genesect, but the Red Genesect is swept up in the snow. Mewtwo peers into the Water Genesect's mind and learns that they were resurrected from three-hundred-million-year-old [[Fossil]]s by [[Team Plasma]] but escaped, and they are now searching for their home and see everyone around them as enemies. The Red Genesect returns and attacks Mewtwo, initially out of a belief that it was threatening the other Genesect but later out of anger over learning that their home is gone due to the passage of time. Mewtwo watches as the Genesect Army flees. Later, the five Genesect discover a large city's skyline, and seeing it as similar to their home, the Water Genesect happily says "I'm going home."

{{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Cilan}} arrive in the central area of [[New Tork City]] and visit the [[Pokémon Hills]] nature park. Their guide, [[Eric]], shows them around, and their Pokémon play with the wild Pokémon in the area for a while. Later, however, {{AP|Pikachu}} sees the Water Genesect sitting at a pond and staring at flowers floating on the water. The Genesect becomes frightened and folds up, leading Ash to sit on it in the mistaken belief that it is a statue. It flies off with Ash riding on it. After landing, Ash strikes up a friendship with the Genesect, and it tells him that it wants to go home. Ash realizes this means that it is lost and promises to somehow help it get back home. Suddenly, the Red Genesect and Electric Genesect arrive. Perceiving Ash's petting the Water Genesect as harming it, they attack. The Water Genesect tries to stop them, but using its power, the Red Genesect forces it to attack its new friends. However, Mewtwo suddenly appears and protects the humans from the attack, and the Genesect leave.

In an underground tunnel, Ash, Iris, and Cilan thank Mewtwo for saving them, but it says it was only protecting Pikachu and {{TP|Iris|Axew}}. Ash insists that Mewtwo tell them what kind of Pokémon they had encountered, so Mewtwo reveals that they are Genesect, Pokémon who were extinct for 300 million years until humans revived them from fossils. Mewtwo explains that it identifies with them due to its own origins as a Pokémon created by humans, then tells the group to forget they ever met it and flies off. {{TRT}}, who was eavesdropping on the conversation, decides to catch both Mewtwo and the Genesect Army.

At the [[Pokémon Center]], Ash spots a photo of the flowers he had seen the Genesect looking at. Eric explains that they are an ancient species known as the Panna Lotus, which he transplanted from [[Absentia Natural Park]] to Pokémon Hills. That night, while Ash, Iris, Cilan, and Eric eat at the Pokémon Center, the Genesect begin rampaging in Pokémon Hills, driving all of the Pokémon out of the park, except for a {{p|Feraligatr}} that unsuccessfully tries to fight them off. Once they have the area to themselves, the Genesect begin spinning a giant cocoon from sturdy threads, but the thread reaches underground into a power station, disrupting the power to the city. Team Rocket sneaks into Pokémon Hills, and Ash and the others rush there after being warned by a {{p|Sableye}} they befriended earlier only to discover all the Pokémon outside as a result of the Genesect rampaging. Cilan returns to the Pokémon Center to help an injured {{p|Ralts}}. Ash, Eric, and Iris try to enter but the Electric and Ice Genesect push them away, so Eric shows them a workers' corridor used as an alternate entrance. Meanwhile, Team Rocket attempts to capture the Genesect with a bazooka but the Red Genesect spots them and drives them off. The tunnel leads Ash, Iris, and Eric to the underground power station, where they discover the threads wrapped around the generators.

Standing on a bridge overlooking the city, Mewtwo muses about its own origins. It flashes back to [[Mewtwo's creators|its creators]] conceiving it in a tank and later torturing it during an experiment, at which point it escaped. As it recalls how it once thought it was alone, it then flashes back to being [[Mewtwo — Prologue to Awakening|badly injured after a violent battle]] and being struck by a bolt of lightning, at which point it encountered a cave of wild Pokémon that took it in and cared for it. Having realized it wasn't alone after all, Mewtwo concludes that the Genesect deserve to reach the same conclusion. A pair of {{p|Starly}} arrive and inform Mewtwo of the Genesect Army's rampage in Pokémon Hills, so it sets off.

Ash, Iris, Cilan, and Eric reach the main area of Pokémon Hills and are approached by the Water Genesect, who apologizes for attacking them earlier, leading Ash to conclude that it couldn't refuse the Red Genesect's orders. The Water Genesect excitedly runs to a pool where it shows them the Panna Lotuses and tells them that it likes the flowers, which grew in its home. Iris realizes that the cocoon is the Genesect Army's nest and that they are trying to turn Pokémon Hills into their new home. When the lights begin flickering again, Eric realizes there is an emergency at the power station and rushes off to resolve it, for if it continues, the station will explode, blacking out New Tork City and sending it into chaos. The {{p|Feraligatr}} living in Pokémon Hills starts fighting with the Red Genesect again after breaking part of the cocoon, and when the Red Genesect uses {{m|Blaze Kick}} to knock the Feraligatr off a ledge, Mewtwo appears and rescues it with {{m|Psychic}}.

Mewtwo warns the Red Genesect not to attack the other Pokémon, but it refuses to listen. As a result, Mewtwo leads it out of Pokémon Hills while the Ice, Electric, and Fire Genesect begin attacking Ash, Iris, and the other Pokémon. Cilan returns to help, and the Water Genesect manages to resist the order to attack when it hears Ash's voice. The Red Genesect attacks Mewtwo as they fly through the city, ultimately forcing Mewtwo to fight back by ignoring all of Mewtwo's warnings. Mewtwo Mega Evolves and the two engage in a high-speed chase throughout the city. At Pokémon Hills, the other Genesect fight the wild Pokémon and eventually become overwhelmed, at which point the Red Genesect returns to protect them. When the Red, Fire, and Ice Genesect turn to attack a {{p|Persian}}, Ash runs between them in an attempt to stop the attack, the Water Genesect jumps in the way and takes the full force of its allies' power. After expressing gratitude for Ash being safe, the Water Genesect's eyes go dark.

The other four Genesect take an aerial formation and begin to attack the rest of the Pokémon, but Mewtwo arrives and shields them with {{m|Protect}}. Mewtwo gives the Genesect Army a final warning to stop their rampage or be defeated, which the Red Genesect ignores. All four remaining Genesect engage Mewtwo in battle around the cocoon but are largely unable to keep up, especially when Mewtwo Mega Evolves to increase its speed. To counter this tactic, the Red Genesect orders the other three to try dragging Mewtwo down with their threads, but Mewtwo breaks free using {{m|Psystrike}}. The three regular Genesect fall through into the power station, causing the generators to completely overload, igniting fires on the cocoon's threads and blacking out all of New Tork City. Team Rocket, wandering around in the dark, fall into a work site and land on a group of {{p|Durant}}, who blast them off with {{m|Hidden Power}}.

As Mewtwo and the Red Genesect speed around the cocoon in pursuit of each other, the fires on the cocoon spread. The Water Genesect wakes up and attempts to stop it, and {{AP|Oshawott}}, Feraligatr, and the other Pokémon help it. The other Genesect climb out from the pit only to be trapped by the flames, but they are freed by Persian's {{m|Water Pulse}}. They then return the favor by protecting Ash from a falling piece of debris, having lost their aggression. The Water Genesect, however, is suddenly caught in a burst of fire and falls unconscious again. Up above, the Red Genesect manages to get in a hit on Mewtwo, nearly sending it falling into the fire; however, Ash, Iris, and Cilan catch it. Shifting back to its ordinary form, Mewtwo lands, as does the Red Genesect. After one last exchange of attacks, Ash runs between them and attempts to convince them to stop fighting. The Red Genesect refuses to listen and begins charging a {{m|Techno Blast}} at Ash, but the Water Genesect wakes up again and weakly begs its leader to stop. It is soon joined by the other Genesect and the Pokémon Hills Pokémon, but the Red Genesect refuses to let go of its quest and declares even its own kind to be its enemy, firing its Techno Blast.

Mewtwo has had enough. It Mega Evolves, blocks the Techno Blast, restrains the Red Genesect with Psychic and grabs it by the cannon before shooting up into the sky, declaring that they must go beyond the limit, where nobody else exists. It blacks out after flying so high that they both begin to freeze. A short time later, Mewtwo wakes up alongside the Red Genesect in the upper atmosphere. The Red Genesect is in awe of [[Pokémon world|the planet]], and Mewtwo explains that it is the planet where they were both born, that they exist for a reason, and that on this planet, they are all friends. The aggression fades from the Red Genesect's eyes, and it accepts the hand extended by Mewtwo as an invitation to return to their home. However, as they fall, Mewtwo blacks out again. The Red Genesect grabs Mewtwo and uses its last powers to send a signal to the other Genesect to "return home" before blacking out as well.

As the last of the fires on the cocoon is put out, the other Genesect get the signal that the Red Genesect and Mewtwo are falling and fly off to help. Ash sends out {{AP|Charizard}} and Iris sends out {{TP|Iris|Dragonite}} to aid them. The Genesect create a net of thread to catch the two falling Pokémon, and Dragonite and Charizard try to hold it up, but their efforts fail. Ash declares they will catch Mewtwo and Red Genesect themselves, and on a suggestion from Iris, all the Pokémon create a giant cushion of water, using Psychic type moves to form the cushion, to catch them. Mewtwo helps the Red Genesect up from the water, and it voices its newfound belief that everyone is its friend. As everyone expresses relief that the crisis is finally over, Ash spots the Panna Lotuses and realizes that he knows where the Genesect can go.

Eric takes Ash, Iris, Cilan, and the Genesect Army to Absentia Natural Park, a place where the Panna Lotuses still grow naturally. While the other Genesect build another cocoon there, the Water Genesect happily tells Ash that it likes its new home. Mewtwo then thanks Ash for helping find the Genesect a home and tells him it will always be grateful that they met before Mega Evolving and flying off. Ash, Iris, and Cilan express hope they will meet Mewtwo again someday.

In the ending credits, the Genesect complete their nest in Absentia Natural Park. Eric is seen guiding a tour of the completed Pokémon Hills now that it is open to the public. Many rivals from ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' go by, as well as [[Alder]], [[Ingo]], [[Emmet]], {{an|Cynthia}}, [[Professor Juniper]], [[Cedric Juniper]], and [[Don George]]. {{an|N}} is shown walking alone over a vast salt flat area. Ash, Iris, and Cilan walk past a disguised Team Rocket at a café. Mewtwo arrives in another large city at night and lands on a building, overlooking the vast metropolis.

==Trivia==
* This movie was released between [[BW133]] and [[BW134]] in Japan. However, it chronologically takes place no later than [[BW123]], as {{Ash}}'s official character bio for the movie claims he is still traveling through [[Unova]] at the time of the movie, indicating [[New Tork City]] is in the [[region]]. At this point in the {{pkmn|anime}}, Ash and {{ashfr}} had long since left Unova and are traveling through the [[Decolora Islands]].
* The setting for this movie is based on {{wp|New York City}}, with {{wp|Central Park}} serving as the basis for [[Pokémon Hills]]. Director Kunihiko Yuyama wanted to create a contrast between the ancient {{p|Genesect}} and a setting that embraces technology and civilization.
** Several other places in the city also reference locations within New York City. For example, an area modeled after {{wp|Times Square}} appears in a few scenes, and the [[Pokémon Center]] where Ash, Iris, Cilan, and Eric eat is modeled on the famous restaurant {{wp|Tavern on the Green}}.
* When Mewtwo and the Red Genesect fly through a part of New Tork City patterned after Times Square, some of the video screens are playing a {{pkmn|Baccer World Cup|Pokémon Baccer}} match between the {{ci|Jubilife}} Reds and {{ci|Cianwood}} Greens, the two teams seen in the prologue of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.
* In the credits, a reference to the original Mewtwo is made when the Mewtwo in this movie is shown standing on top of a building overlooking a large city at night. This is the same scene that the original Mewtwo last appeared in at the end of ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''.
* This movie marks the first time that the final movie of an anime [[series]] features no Pokémon from the following generation.
** It does, however, feature a new form of evolution of an {{p|Mewtwo|old Pokémon}} that can only be obtained starting in the following generation.
** In addition, it is the first movie to not debut any new Pokémon or new forms of Pokémon in the {{pkmn|anime}}, as Mega Mewtwo Y and Genesect debuted in ''[[Mewtwo — Prologue to Awakening]]'' and ''[[BW119|Meowth, Colress and Team Rivalry!]]'', respectively.
* This is the fifth consecutive movie in which {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} do not meet {{TRT}}. However, they are more prominently featured, attempting to capture Mewtwo and Genesect, as opposed to their brief, non-speaking cameos in the [[M15|previous movie]].
* This is the first movie since ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'' to not feature [[Shōko Nakagawa]] as part of its cast. Instead, she appears in the accompanying [[Pikachu short]], ''[[PK25|Eevee & Friends]]''.
* This movie has the shortest time between its Japanese and English releases, at three months.
* The English title of this movie was shown on Taiwanese theater billboards a month before it was officially confirmed.
* This is the only ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' movie to feature Pokémon from generations prior to [[Generation V]] other than [[Ash's Pikachu]] and {{MTR}}.
* In addition to the United States, this movie aired on October 19, 2013 in {{pmin|the United Kingdom}}, {{pmin|Spain}}, {{pmin|Germany}}, {{pmin|Italy}}, and {{pmin|France}}, as well as in {{pmin|Indonesia}} on November 2, 2013, and in {{pmin|the Philippines}} on November 13, 2013.
* In Indonesia, this is the first movie to premiere in theaters instead of on TV.
* In {{pmin|Denmark}}, this is the first movie to premiere on [[Netflix]].
* This is the first movie to be released on DVD in the US before Japan.
* This is the last movie until ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'' to keep its Japanese soundtrack in the dub, a practice that started in the [[M04|fourth movie]].
* A Red Genesect [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]] card is included in the English DVD release of this movie.
* This movie features a total of six {{pkmn2|talking}} Pokémon, more than any previous movie. In the process, this number surpasses the record of five from [[M15|the previous movie]].
* Plans for the [[Mewtwo (M01)|original Mewtwo]] to appear in this movie were set to occur, but this had to be scrapped owing to legal issues with [[Takeshi Shudo]]'s estate.<ref>https://www.pokebeach.com/2019/07/mewtwo-strikes-back-evolution-impressions-changes-and-sequels</ref>
* This is the last movie to be animated by Team Koitabashi. Team Kamei animated the movies from [[M17|the seventeenth]] to [[M19|the nineteenth]].

===Errors===
[[File:M16 Ash hair error.png|200px|thumb|Ash's eyebrow drawn over his hair]]
* In a scene during the credits, Ash's eyebrow is drawn over his hair.
* In the initial Cartoon Network airing, during the [[It's Always You and Me]] sequence, voices of the characters on screen can be heard over the song itself. This is corrected in the DVD release.

===Dub edits===
* It's Always You and Me replaces [[Summerly Slope]] as the opening theme.
* [[We're Coming Home]] replaces [[Smiling Face]] as the ending theme.
** The Netflix version of the movie retains "Smiling Face" as the ending theme.
** In the Australian theatrical and initial DVD release, the lyrics for We're Coming Home has the line "It's time to listen to their call" instead of "Can't wait to be with everyone".

'''Zubat''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ズバット''' ''Zubat'') is a dual-type {{2t|Poison|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Golbat}} starting at [[level]] 22, which evolves into {{p|Crobat}} when [[level]]ed up with high [[friendship]].

==Biology==
Zubat is a blue, bat-like Pokémon. While it lacks eyes, it has pointed ears with purple insides and a mouth with two sharp teeth on each jaw. A male will have larger fangs than a female. It has purple wing membranes supported by two, elongated fingers, and two long, thin, tails.

Zubat lives in abundance in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|caves}}. It has evolved to have neither eyes nor nostrils, instead navigating through dark environments with {{wp|animal echolocation|echolocation}}. As demonstrated in the [[EP006|anime]], it will leave its abode at night with a mass of other Zubat in order to seek prey. During the daytime, Zubat sleeps hanging upside down in caves, forests, or under the eaves of old buildings, avoiding sunlight at all costs. Daylight causes Zubat to become unhealthy, and prolonged exposure can even burn its skin. However, captured and {{tp|Brock|trained Zubat|Crobat}} have been recorded as being much more tenacious in the daytime, even when directly exposed to sunbeams. In colder conditions, Zubat gathers with others of its kind for warmth.

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon has the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] as the Zubat evolutionary family.
* Zubat's evolutionary line seems to have a connection with {{p|Woobat}}'s family. All the members of both lines are Bat Pokémon species (excluding {{p|Swoobat}}), live in caves or other dark places, and have no visible eyes at their respective unevolved states; furthermore, members of both lines reach their respective fully-evolved forms by [[friendship]], and both have similar Shiny forms (with green main bodies). Also, Zubat and Woobat have somewhat similar English names, both having rhyming prefixes and ''bat'' as a suffix.
* Zubat and its evolutionary relatives share their {{pkmn|category}} with Woobat. They are all known as the Bat Pokémon.
* Zubat can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Noibat}}, as they are both {{type|Flying}} Pokémon based on bats and can have {{a|Infiltrator}} as a possible [[Ability]]. They also share the same base stats, with their Attack and Special Attack switched around.
* Curiously, in spite of not currently being in the [[Generation VIII]] games, a picture of Zubat can be seen in [[Sonia]]'s bedroom.

===Origin===
Zubat's design seems to be inspired by {{wp|bat}}s, specifically {{wp|vampire bat}}s, which produce toxic saliva with {{wp|anticoagulant}} properties that is secreted when biting prey to draw blood. Zubat's lack of eyes could also be a reference to {{wp|troglomorphism}}, and may additionally be influenced by the misconception that bats are blind or primarily dependent on {{wp|Animal echolocation|echolocation}} to navigate. The claim that Zubat suffers harm, and even burns, when exposed to sunlight alludes to mythological {{wp|vampire}}s.

====Name origin====
Zubat may be a pun based on both ''{{wp|bat}}'' and ずばっと ''zubatto'', an onomatopoeia for when an edged tool forcefully pierces something (possibly referring to its fangs or the sound a bat makes).

==In other languages==

==Blurb==

Ash has completed three of his four grand trials in the Alola region, and more adventures await as he and his classmates acquire new Z-Crystals, make new Pokémon friends, and learn how to Mantine Surf! In their role as Ultra Guardians, the Pokémon School students take on an important mission to protect Wela Volcano. Ash meets a new rival, Hau, whose Dartrix offers Rowlet quite a challenge. Even Rotom Dex gets an adventure of its own when our heroes visit the set of its favorite TV show! And Professor Kukui's dream of starting a Pokémon League in Alola just might be getting closer to reality...

==Something for you to know==
One of the benefits as to why I make a trivia note with the Pokémon Adventures chapters of the recent Viz Mini-volumes is to list alternate volumes than what is seen in the template. Therefore in the future once the correct chapter numbers are identified and the numbers for the larger volumes as well, you could personally update that list to include the volume number of the Japanese mini-volume in any way you see fit. Thought this was the time to tell you about this plan. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] ([[User talk:Tyler53841|talk]]) 02:41, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

== Abilities ==

Would you happen to know the abilities of Emerald's Sudowoodo and Dusclops or the level of Pibu?--[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 12:45, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
:For whatever reason, some Pokemon, such as Pibu and Foongy, are listed as "00" for their levels. I have no idea if this is a text error or they want to keep it hidden. I assume the former. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 01:52, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

== Blue's Pumpkaboo? ==

When you recently uploaded an image about what you apparently presumed to be "{{adv|Blue}}'s {{p|Pumpkaboo}}", I was honestly shaking my head. That scene with Pumpkaboo had [[Diantha]] in it too, right? And wasn't the Pumkaboo right next to her? And, most notably, '''doesn't Diantha own a {{p|Gourgeist}} in the games?''' I thought it was pretty obvious that the Pumpkaboo was hers and '''not''' Blue's. Am I right, do you know something I don't, or am I right? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 05:09, 16 August 2017 (UTC)
:Hi, just here to say that it was confirmed in the SPedia book in Blue's page under his pokemon.[[user:Animaltamer7|Animaltamer7]]05:27, 16 August 2017 (UTC)
== Voice actors having potential articles ==
Hi, I'm aware that you're part of Project Anime and although this is a question regarding voice actors, I'm wondering if you could help answer these questions as I think that the Project VA staff aren't active right now. The question is are these voice actors notable enough for their own pages due to some notable voice roles:
*Keiji Fujiwara? Played Mewtwo in SSB4 and Maxie of Team Magma
*Masataka Azuma? Played Roark in the anime who played a few roles outside of the gym battle
*Takuya Eguchi? Played Blue from Pokemon: The Origins who was one of the main characters
*Atsuko Enomoto? Played Solana who was very significant in the Pokemon Ranger episodes of the anime
*Minami Fuji? Played Trevor in the anime who appeared multiple times
*Hisao Egawa: Played the numerous Don Georges who appeared throughout the BW series
*Sho Hayami? Played Juan and Ghetsis(generations)
*Yurie Kobori? Played Shauna who was pretty significant
*Ken'yu Horiuchi? Played Cedric Juniper and the announcer in Battle Revolution.
*Anri Katsu? Played Tierno who was a recurring role in the XY series
*Shinji Kawada? Played Eusine who was prominent in the Legend of Thunder special
*Tokuyoshi Kawashima? Played a handful of roles, including Colress in generations and Lance in Pokemon: The Origin
*Rikiya Koyama? Notably played Giovanni within Generations as well as a handful of roles
*Kozo Mito? Played Conway who appeared multiple times during the DP anime
*Nana Mizuki? Played Victini who was prominent in M14
*Hitomi Nabatame? Notably played a handful of roles, including Clemont's Chespin who appeared frequently throughout the XY series
*Keiichi Nakagawa? Played Professor Kukui who appears a lot in the SM series
*Toru Nara? Played Flint of the Elite Four who appears frequently in the DP series
*Rintaro Nishi? Played Steven Stone who appeared once in AG but numerous times throughout XY series, including in specials
*Masako Nozawa? Played Morrison who appeared a lot in AG series
*Reiko Takashima? Played MEwtwo from the BW series who appears often, including in specials
Thanks ahead.--[[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]] ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 10:28, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

==Question==
Now that Epilogue has been confirmed as the official english title for the final round of the X and Y chapter and that it is already the official title for the final round of the Emerald chapter, do you want to consider converting the Epilogue redirect link into a disambiguation page instead? -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] ([[User talk:Tyler53841|talk]]) 03:04, 29 September 2017 (UTC)

==Shauna's Skitty==
In the english translation of [[PAXY38]], it has been verified that the new official english name of Shauna's Skitty as "Kitty" unlike [[PAXY30]] which was Neko. Since this is more literal translation and likely needs to be updated, I need some help updating the template on Shauna's page to reflect the name difference. Also the character profiles after the last chapter does verify the new nickname.

One last note is that X's [[Marisso]] is listed at LV. 49 (instead of 59) in the profiles. Odds are it is production error, but could you also check the original source since I do not have access to it. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] ([[User talk:Tyler53841|talk]]) 16:58, 4 October 2017 (UTC)

==Template Help==
Hi! Do you think you can update [[Template:Pokémon Infobox]] (specifically USUM dex) and [[Template:HeldItems]] to include USUM input, or pass it along to someone who could? I'm sure if they were updated lots would be glad to help fill out the missing USUM info. Thanks. [[User:Lanthanum|Lanthanum]] ([[User talk:Lanthanum|talk]]) 13:34, 26 January 2018 (UTC)

==Maxie's Camerupt/Xerosic's Malamar==
Are [[User:Reinhartmax/Maxie's Camerupt]] and [[User:Reinhartmax/Xerosic's Malamar]] ready to be mainspaced? {{unsigned|Reinhartmax}}
:No and no. Neither are notable enough for an article, especially not Malamar. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 00:33, 3 February 2018 (UTC)

== Red Links ==

In [[Pokémon manga]], some titles are red links. Are they notable? [[User:RubyLeafGreenCrystal|RubyLeafGreenCrystal]] ([[User talk:RubyLeafGreenCrystal|talk]]) 04:11, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
:Any manga is notable, but without actual info on them, an article isn't really needed. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 04:12, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

==Pokemon Adventures Sun & Moon issue==
Right now for the individual volume pages for the Japanese releases of the SM volumes, the volume list link at the top of the page reads it as ''List of Pocket Monsters Special Sun Moon volumes'' which is causing a red link. Right now the volume list page is titled as ''List of Pokémon Adventures SM volumes''. Obviously it needs to moved, but if you do it, it will prevent a redirect from being created and that would be less messy so I wouldn't have to post a delete tag on the redirect. Besides that the Sun & Moon chapter page will also need this update. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] ([[User talk:Tyler53841|talk]]) 02:41, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

== Blake's Genesect ==

It has been over a year since this has been asked so I was wondering if [[User:Rahl/Blake's Genesect]] now has enough to be considered for mainspacing? It has become a permanent member of Blake's team and has had a central role in the Swords of Justice and Keldemaru's plot.--[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 19:10, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
:I'm currently going through computer issues, so I can barely edit, let alone move pages. Heck, replying to this message wasn't easy. And even if could move the page, I'd prefer not to, as I'm still waiting to see if it'll receive a proper nickname. I'd rather not have to move it, only to have to move it again and presumably another time if VIZ changes its nickname. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 16:42, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
::Alright, thanks for the response.--[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 17:38, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

== Tower Duo ==

I'm wondering if the page <nowiki>[[User:Rahl/Tower duo (Adventures)]]</nowiki> is ready to be mainspaced?[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 23:26, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
:Am I going to get any word back from you on this?--[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 18:25, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

== Platinum's Froslass ==
Is [[User:FinnishPokéFan92/Platinum's Froslass|this]] ready to be mainspaced? {{unsigned|Reinhartmax}}
:Is it? Shouldn't the one making the article in the first place be the one asking this question instead of someone else? I'd rather not do it prematurely. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 23:15, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

== Main Space Articles ==
Got several articles on my [[https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User:BigDocFan]], was wondering if any of them were ready to be main spaced? {{unsigned|BigDocFan}}
:I'm sorry, but I focus on manga-related articles specifically, thank you. You'll have to ask someone else. Also, remember to sign your comments with four tildes. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 23:44, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
::Could have sworn I signed it, not like me not to--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 07:55, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

== Mainspacing ==

I have an article about {{adv|Platinum}}'s {{p|Froslass}} under my user page that's been kinda just lying around for a while now. Could it be mainspaced? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 12:20, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

== Moon's Rotom Pokedex ==

Is the page [[User:Rahl/Moon's Rotom]] ready to be mainspaced? It is obviously an important character of the chapter and has enough information as of now for its own page.--[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 17:46, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
:It's only had two moments of importance after becoming the Pokedex. A little more and it'll be good to go. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 19:15, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

== Chuang Yi names ==

Since Chuang Yi names are pretty much obsolete (CY doesn't exist anymore and SA sticks to Viz's naming conventions), don't you think (as the head of Manga) there's no need to list things like "Joey/Grant" or "Matt/Ark" in every character listing? I think we should restrict the usage of CY names to langtables, article headlines (in case of chapters) and a mention in the article in question. But listing them too often makes things only more confusing, in my opinion. At this point, CY names are just trivia material at best. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] ([[User talk:Maxim|talk]]) 11:26, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

== Pokemon Special (Adventures) Sapphire's Pokedex Ownter Title ==

Hello, I saw on the staff listing that you were the head admin for the manga section, and I wanted to ask you something.

For a while now, Sapphire's Pokédex Owner Title was said to be "Conqueror", and I wanted to know why that was chosen when her Japanese title 極める者 is nowhere near the meaning of "conquering". It simply means "a person who follows through to the end" (極: extremity/end), which fits Sapphire given how her goal the entire time was to simply keep a promise made to young Ruby, aka, follow through on that promise. Her goal wasn't to "conquer" all the Gyms, but to just keep a promise. If just beating all the Gyms warrants such a title, it would be far better suited to Platinum or Black. Their titles are nowhere near "conquering" because that's not who they are. And that also applies to Sapphire.

To conquer is to dominate or be dominant, and the word for "conquer" would be 征服, or to attack (征伐) and force the opposition to surrender/serve (服從), and so the word for "conqueror" becomes 征服者. But that isn't Sapphire or her title. And if this "conquering" was the intent, then her title would at least have 覇 in it and be something like 覇める者 or something along those lines. After all, the translation of another title from history was translated to "Conqueror" and very much accurately, given the actual title 覇王.

I tried to edit Sapphire's title on the page to be something more accurate, something along the lines of "Pursuer", in that she pursued (followed through) her promise all the way to the end, but whenever I do, someone comes along and undoes my revision without asking for an explanation or anything. And so instead of explaining myself to each one and re-editing it over and over, I wanted to bring this up to an admin as it was suggested.

These are my thoughts on the matter, and I would greatly appreciate it if you can tell me your thoughts as well to sort this out, and maybe even see where "Conqueror" came from in the first place. Thank you.

[[User:The Hidden Type|The Hidden Type]] ([[User talk:The Hidden Type|talk]]) 04:24, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
:The word conquer means "to overcome something", not necessarily dominate. The title translations aren't fully meant to be 100% accurate translations, just give a close enough meaning that fits with the previously established Kanto and Johto title translations. It's fine as is. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 12:57, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
::The word "conquer" CAN mean "to overcome", but that's not its primary definition. And the problem is that it's not close enough to the actual Japanese title either. Not to mention everyone reading it will immediately assume the primary definition of "conquer", which gives a very wrong impression of the character. And the Japanese title doesn't mean "to overcome", making "conqueror" still wrong anyways.

::Every Pokédex Owner Title thus far tries to use the primary definition of the word, that fits the context of the character, that also matches the meaning of the Japanese title. Everyone except Sapphire. "Conqueror" for her doesn't use the primary definition of "conquer" based on your response, it doesn't fit the context of her character, and it's not close to the Japanese title. It's like calling Black as "Imaginer" because "to dream can mean to hallucinate, or to imagine things".

::And shouldn't a translation fit more with the source material than anything else? I don't see how "Conqueror" fits more with the previously established titles than say, "Pursuer", especially if "Conqueror" here is meant more like "someone who overcomes". And shouldn't a site like this strive to keep the most accurate information as possible?[[User:The Hidden Type|The Hidden Type]] ([[User talk:The Hidden Type|talk]]) 14:01, 17 July 2019 (UTC)

:::Admittedly, 極める is particularly tricky term to translate. On one hand, it could be translated as "Master" as the verb could refer to the perfection of a particular skill, but that would cause some confusion with [[Pokémon Master]]. I guess Conqueror came from a similar concept with the particular character having connotations of pushing through and reaching what's ultimate.

:::On the other hand, the term used in the [http://corocoro.tv/pokesp/story/comic/character/new_sapphire2015/sapphire.html official website] is 究める者, so that could refer to someone studying something thoroughly. Given that she does fieldwork with her professor father, that could be taken as Researcher. I'm not sure if there's any other sources that uses the other kanji.

:::Pursuer isn't exactly ideal, since the primary definition would also be to chase something with the intent of capture. Also, the titles refer to their skill sets. It's not about her promise. --[[User:神奇超龍|'''超龍''']]「'''[[User talk:神奇超龍|Chao]]'''」 03:12, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

::::While 究 does mean "to research" (硏究員: researcher), 究 and 極 have the same theme, of pursuing something or following through to the end, since 究 breaks down into 穴 (hole) and 九 (nine, or end of the number system), so it's like digging until you reach the end. Also, 極 came from the PokéSpedia, I believe. Doesn't really matter, I suppose, since they both mean kind of the same thing?

::::Either way, "Conqueror" still needs to be changed. Sure, "Pursuer" isn't exactly ideal, but "Conqueror" is worse, since right now it uses like the third definition of "conquer" that very loosely relates to a loose synonym of like the fourth definition of 極, that also ignores the character context. And while I believe that the titles stopped referring to skills after Johto since they're currently all over the place (like X), to match the other two Hoenn characters, Sapphire having a title that has something to do with her ability would be fine.

::::Perhaps the best title for her is actually "Researcher"? The primary definition of "Researcher" matches the primary definition of one of the Japanese titles, fits her character context, given how she does fieldwork for her father and has spent tremendous amount of time during the 80 day challenge doing said fieldwork (off screen), and it even fits her skill sets, since she is quite proficient at doing field work. And it also helps clear up a common misconception of Sapphire, that she's a dumb violent girl who's hell-bent in battling and beating things.[[User:The Hidden Type|The Hidden Type]] ([[User talk:The Hidden Type|talk]]) 13:38, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

:::::If no one is going to refute my arguments, that means my arguments are right and that no one CAN refute them. And that is a concession that "Conqueror" is wrong, and that "Researcher" is correct as Sapphire's title. Then all that's left is for an admin to admit it and change Sapphire's title to "Researcher". If not, then by all means, explain why "Conqueror" is correct and why it's the best possible choice. But if you ("you" as in general, not anyone in specific) can't read Kanji, then there is nothing to discuss, since you don't actually know what you're arguing about. If you can and still think that "Conqueror" is better, then explain your thoughts and convince me. If not, then concede and change Sapphire's title to "Researcher". Refusing to change it without explaining is admitting that you're wrong but you're not going to change it because of some personal bias or preference.[[User:The Hidden Type|The Hidden Type]] ([[User talk:The Hidden Type|talk]]) 05:53, 27 July 2019 (UTC)

== Aromatherapy disagreement ==

Me and {{user|CoolPokeGuy}} are in a disagreement with Force Fire about something in regards to the anime. In [[SM117]], Shaymin used what we speculated was Aromatherapy, but since it wasn't stated out loud, Force Fire decided to not acknowledge it as such yet, a common policy for him. So we waited, and in [[SM134]], the move was finally called out and confirmed as Aromatherapy, and when the dub of SM117 aired soon after, the closed captions aired alongside it confirmed the move's identity in that episode too. 
But this is where the problem arose: Force Fire now considers SM134 as the move's debut episode, since it was first called out there, and not SM117, even though the closed captions (which are considered as solid enough proof for Bulbapedia) confirm that chronologically, it was first used in SM117. I think that SM117 should be considered as the debut episode, because I think that the chronological order is what should count here, not the order in which the move's name was first mentioned in some way. CPG agrees with me. We've asked help from other admins in solving this problem, but weeks have passed since those help requests were written, and no replies have come out, as far as I'm aware. Could you help? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 08:42, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

== [[Talk:Team Plasma]] ==

I left a message on there. No one seems to have responded. As an admin, what do you think of it? [[User:RubyLeafGreenCrystal|RubyLeafGreenCrystal]] ([[User talk:RubyLeafGreenCrystal|talk]]) 22:49, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

== Moon's Rotom (Again) ==

Hey, just wanted to check in again on the notability of [[User:Rahl/Moon's Rotom]] and see if it was ready to be mainspaced. I think it's had a nice amount of information added to it in the year and a half since I last asked.--[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 00:57, 17 October 2019 (UTC)
:Thank you.--[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 12:55, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

== Mainspacing manga pages ==
Hye, are these ready to be mainspaced? [[User:Seabiscuit2020/Sandbox/Light trio (Adventures)]], [[User:Reinhartmax/Hau's Primarina]], [[User:Rahl/Quarter]], [[User:Rahl/Moon's Mareanie]], and [[User:Rahl/Blake's Genesect]]. [[User:Reinhartmax|Reinhartmax]] ([[User talk:Reinhartmax|talk]]) 23:12, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
:In that exact order: Yes. Definitely not. No. No. Maybe. I want to wait for this month's half first. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 23:21, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
::Okay. So can I mainspace it myself or do you have to do it? [[User:Reinhartmax|Reinhartmax]] ([[User talk:Reinhartmax|talk]]) 23:26, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
::Also, what about [[User:Animaltamer7/Guardian deities (Adventures)]]? [[User:Reinhartmax|Reinhartmax]] ([[User talk:Reinhartmax|talk]]) 23:35, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
:::I'll do it. And no. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 23:42, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
::::Thanks. [[User:Reinhartmax|Reinhartmax]] ([[User talk:Reinhartmax|talk]]) 02:13, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

== Sprites ==
Is there any way we can do to make the sprites for the Pokémon from Sword and Shield a bit smaller? 'Cause they appear to me taking much space. [[User:Seabiscuit2020|Seabiscuit2020]] ([[User talk:Seabiscuit2020|talk]]) 04:17 16 December 2019 (UTC)

== Deletion request ==

Could you delete the now obsolete redirect page of "Flute Cup Tournament"? Thank you. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 10:01, 30 December 2019 (UTC)

== Iris edit, continued ==

I find it absolutely mind-boggling that you '''STILL''' haven't responded to [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:Ataro#Iris_edit my many attempts at initiating a discussion with you] regarding a certain style, despite all the times you've been active here. I'm not sure what's going on at your end, but I thought I'd create a brand-new section and reiterate my concerns here, so hopefully you'll see what I have to say and respond to it.

At first, I still didn't know what you were talking about when you said you told me not to add the "History" subsection because I was relying on the edit history of the Iris article. Fortunately, I decided to scour through my talk page before making that claim and I found [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:GrammarFreak01/Archive_3#Edit_warring this "discussion"] we briefly had. I disagree with your position that such subsections are not needed, for I feel they are absolutely necessary and there is already quite a lot of precedent encouraging it. {{U|Daniel Carrero}} actually [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AGrammarFreak01%2FArchive_3&type=revision&diff=2965185&oldid=2965184 explained my stance perfectly] so I'll just leave it there in place of a longer explanation.

Thank you. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 08:19, 12 January 2020 (UTC)

:So [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AAtaro&type=revision&diff=3107287&oldid=3107274 you'd respond] to a single post from {{U|BigDocFan}}, but have yet to respond to my many attempts at contacting you? Are you doing this on purpose? [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 22:34, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

==Françoise==
I'm confused by the Françoise on Renji's page. Mind you I haven't seen the subs.--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 13:40, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
:It's his Magnemite's nickname. They refer to it as such multiple times. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 14:06, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

== Manga edit ==

Hey, can I know where I went wrong on my edits?--[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 02:27, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
:The nicknames you added were localizations done by the scanlator and are not their actual names. I had to rush online when I saw the chapter was released and had to revert them so other users wouldn't mistakenly assume those names were correct while I tried to work on the manga-related news myself. I am here, so please let met take care of the rest. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 02:44, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
::I see. Sorry about that.--[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 11:16, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

== Manga Names ==

Now that the manga has finished (it has), should the names be changed in order to reflect the series order or will they go in the order of the jp manga volumes?

== Hugh (Adventures) ==

Would it be okay to move my [[User:Iml908/Hugh (Adventures)|manga page for Hugh]] to the main space? I feel he's become a fairly important character, and the page has become pretty full with content. [[User:Iml908|Iml908]] ([[User talk:Iml908|talk]]) 01:37, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
:I think I'm going to wait until volume 55 releases and B2W2 is over before mainspacing any content related to it. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 03:37, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
::Okay. [[User:Iml908|Iml908]] ([[User talk:Iml908|talk]]) 03:42, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

== Discord ==

Howdy, could you check your Discord messages when you get the chance? Thanks. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 14:06, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
:Hey, could you hop on Discord again when you can? Thanks! '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 20:33, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
::Still need a reply to my message when you can ^^; '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 21:42, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

== Blake's Genesect ==

Hey, now that the B2W2 chapter is officially finished, can we get [[User:Rahl/Blake's Genesect]] mainspaced? Also, what are your thoughts on [[User:Rahl/Colress's Beheeyem]]?--[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 17:02, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
:Still have to wait for the volume and any possible revisions. Also, I'm pretty sure someone already asked me about Beheeyem. I said no. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 21:30, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
::Okay, but why are we waiting on it? If something is revised the page can be updated.--[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 01:23, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

== Question ==

With [[PS548]] now being the final chapter of the B2W2 arc of Pokémon Adventures, should we go ahead and start renaming the articles for the Gen 6 and Gen 7 chapters so that they'll line up with the others now? [[User:Pikatwig|Pikatwig]] ([[User talk:Pikatwig|talk]]) 20:10, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

'''Ash's Riolu''' (Japanese: '''サトシのリオル''' ''Satoshi's Riolu'') was the third {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[new series]], and his fifty-fifth overall.

==History==
[[File:Ash Riolu Egg.png|left|250px|thumb|Riolu's Egg]]
Riolu's {{pkmn|Egg}} was originally found in the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]]. Despite being passed from one {{pkmn|Day Care}} worker to another for a long time, it seemed unwilling to hatch. Eventually the Egg made its way to the [[Kanto]] region, coming under the care of the [[Nurse Joy]] working in [[Vermilion City]].

While {{Ash}} battled [[Hashiba]], the Egg sensed the strong [[Aura]] emitted by the former and reacted to it. Ash also felt the Egg calling for him. While {{AP|Pikachu}} was being treated at the [[Pokémon Center]], Ash followed the call to the room where the Egg was being kept. When the Egg reacted to Ash's presence by rolling towards him, Nurse Joy decided to entrust its care to him.

The following night, the Egg hatched into a Riolu, who instantly fled from the [[Sakuragi Institute]] and started attacking various [[wild Pokémon]], although all of them were too strong for it. Ash finally caught up to Riolu as it was getting attacked by an {{p|Onix}}. During the battle against the [[Pokémon category|Rock Snake Pokémon]], Riolu was impressed by Ash's Aura. With both Pikachu and Riolu attacking Onix, Ash was soon able to drive it away, and then, he took Riolu to the Pokémon Center to be healed. After Nurse Joy treated Riolu, it expressed willingness to be {{pkmn2|caught}} by Ash, which he agreed to.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Ash and Riolu.png|thumb|250px|Riolu and Ash]]
Riolu, like every other member of its species, responds to [[Aura]], and, as such, it developed a subconscious connection to Ash before it even hatched. After hatching, it displayed a very headstrong personality, attacking [[wild Pokémon]] and even Ash, as if it had something to prove. Despite being a [[baby Pokémon]], it displays dislike towards being cared for and generally seems very independent.

'''Bea''' (Japanese: '''サイトウ''' ''Saitō'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Stow-on-Side]]'s Gym, known officially as [[Stow-on-Side Stadium]]. She [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. She gives the {{badge|Fighting}} to Trainers who defeat her. In [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Shield]], [[Allister]] takes her place as Stow-on-Side's Gym Leader instead.

==In the games==
===League Cards===
This is a transcript of the back of Bea's [[League Card]]s in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword]].
;Normal League Card
:"Given special attention from her parents, Bea trained hard with her partner Pokémon since a very young age. This has honed her judgment skills, and she is able to remain calm and collected even when facing dire situations in {{pkmn|battle}}. This leads many to think she lacks emotion, but the truth seems to be that she doesn't want to show weakness. She is sometimes known to show her true feelings to her partner Pokémon during battles. She is secretly a huge fan of various sweets, and this has recently been found out by her fans. The additional attention has made enjoying sweets a little difficult."
;Rare League Card
:"In order to become strong, one must face opponents who are stronger than oneself. Even if defeat seems inevitable, Bea will still go all out and try to at least draw. It's possible that the strict (one might even say too strict) training from her stern parents has left a burden on young Bea, taking away her smile. So, who has seen Bea smile? Her family? Her Pokémon? Or maybe someone else entirely..."

===Pokémon===
Bea keeps her Pokémon in [[Ultra Ball]]s.

[[File:Bea Twilight Wings.png|thumb|250px|Bea in [[Pokémon: Twilight Wings]]]]

===In Pokémon: Twilight Wings===
Bea briefly debuted in ''[[TW01|Letter]]'', where she battled [[Leon]] in a [[Pokémon League]] tournament and lost, this specific battle is the starting point for several events shown in the series. She was later seen on a mountain with a {{p|Rhydon}}.

In ''[[TW02|Training]]'', Bea was revealed to have traveled to the [[Wild Area]] to train after her loss to Leon. She and her Pokémon eventually got trapped in a cave while taking shelter from rain, but they later managed to find another exit.

She reappeared in ''[[TW03|Buddy]]'', where [[Hop]] watched her match with Leon on television.

====Personality and characteristics====
Bea has a strong personality and she hates to lose. She is also willing to drive herself to the extreme to improve herself and her Pokémon, but isn't above admitting she went too far if that happens. She also has a soft spot for sweets.

====Pokémon====
Bea keeps all of her Pokémon in [[Ultra Ball]]s.

'''Ash's Pikachu''' (Japanese: '''サトシのピカチュウ''' ''Satoshi's Pikachu'') is the signature {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} of the [[Pokémon anime]], and the [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]] that {{Ash}} obtained on his journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]], given to him by {{an|Professor Oak}}.

==In the anime==
===History===
[[File:Ash Pikachu Pichu.png|thumb|250px|left|As a {{pkmn2|wild}} Pichu]]
====Pre-series====
[[File:SS001.png|thumb|250px|Pichu with his adoptive family]]
As shown in [[SS001]], Pikachu was once a lonely {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Pichu}} who lived in the woods in the outskirts of [[Pallet Town]]. After falling off a cliff, he was saved by a mother {{p|Kangaskhan}}, who, after realizing Pichu had nowhere to go, placed Pichu in her pouch and took him into her care. Eventually, Pichu and the child Kangaskhan grew bigger, and carrying them both became a burden to the mother. Realizing this, Pichu left his adoptive mother's pouch in the middle of the night while Kangaskhan's pack was asleep. Turning back to say goodbye to his family, his feelings of gratitude caused him to [[evolution|evolve]] into Pikachu. After taking a moment to realize what had just happened to him, Pikachu finished his goodbyes, and left for parts unknown.

At some point after his departure, Pikachu was {{pkmn2|caught}} and eventually came under the possession of {{an|Professor Oak}}.
{{-}}

====[[Original series]]====
=====Kanto=====
[[File:Ash Pikachu EP001.png|thumb|left|220px|Pikachu's debut appearance]]
In the first episode of the [[Pokémon anime]], ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', Ash woke up late the day he was supposed to go to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] to obtain his first Pokémon. When he arrived at the lab, the three available starter Pokémon, {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}}, had already been taken by other Trainers who had arrived on time. Seeing Ash's disappointment, Professor Oak gave him Pikachu, who, at first, [[Obedience|did not care at all for his new Trainer]], constantly zapping him and anyone else nearby. He refused to go into his {{i|Poké Ball}}, and when Ash failed to catch a {{p|Pidgey}}, he laughed at him. However, by the end of the episode, Ash gained Pikachu's trust by protecting him from an attack by a flock of angry {{p|Spearow}}. Seeing this act of selflessness, Pikachu defended Ash from the Spearow as well, and the two of them became inseparable friends, a moment that was capitalized on by catching a glimpse of {{an|Ho-Oh|an unknown Pokémon}} flying by. Ash then rushed to [[Viridian City]] to get Pikachu hospitalized quickly, as he had been badly injured during the fight.

[[File:Ash Pikachu debut.png‎|thumb|220px|Pikachu and Ash meeting for the first time]]
In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', Ash managed to get to the Viridian City [[Pokémon Center]] just in time with the help of [[Officer Jenny]], who scolded Ash for "mistreating" Pikachu. [[Nurse Joy]] agreed to heal Pikachu, and thanks to her, Pikachu managed to regain his health. At the end of the episode, Pikachu had regained enough of his strength to send {{TRT}} blasting off for the very first time.

Pikachu participated in Ash's first [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} with {{an|Brock}} in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]''. He faced {{TP|Brock|Onix}}, but his {{type|Electric}} attacks were ineffective. When Onix started {{m|bind}}ing Pikachu, Ash saw no other option than to forfeit the match. Ash and Pikachu later trained with {{ka|Flint}} to increase the strength of Pikachu's Electric-type [[move]]s. Ash later challenged Brock to a [[rematch]], where Pikachu managed to defeat [[Brock's Geodude]] with his training. Pikachu then faced Onix again, but despite their training, he was still unable to defeat it. As Ash was about to forfeit again, Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}} managed to turn on the Gym's sprinkler system, severely harming Onix. As Ash was about to let Pikachu finish Onix off, he was stopped by [[Brock's siblings]] and he decided to forfeit again. Despite this, Brock still gave him the {{badge|Boulder}}.

[[File:Ash Pikachu wounded.png|thumb|left|220px|Ash rushing Pikachu to the Pokémon Center]]
Pikachu's next major battle was in Ash's [[Vermilion Gym]] battle against [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]] in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]''. [[Lt. Surge]] laughed at Ash for attempting to defeat his Raichu with its pre-evolved form, angering Ash and Pikachu. Indeed, Raichu turned out to be more powerful than Pikachu, and a combination of attacks from it resulted in so much damage to Pikachu that he had to be hospitalized. Later, Ash offered to let Pikachu evolve into a Raichu with a [[Thunder Stone]] that Nurse Joy had given him. However, Pikachu refused, wanting to defeat Raichu on his own terms. During the subsequent rematch with Lt. Surge, Pikachu once again faced Raichu. Using moves like {{m|Agility}} and {{m|Quick Attack}}, which Raichu didn't know, Pikachu managed to gain the upper hand, dodge Raichu's attacks, and ultimately defeat it, thus earning Ash the {{badge|Thunder}}.

In ''[[EP022|Abra and the Psychic Showdown]]'', Pikachu was sent out to battle [[Sabrina's Abra]] during Ash's [[Saffron Gym]] battle. It proved to be a tough foe, using {{m|Teleport}} to avoid Pikachu's attacks. Abra then suddenly evolved into Kadabra, making it much stronger. Eventually, Kadabra used {{m|Psychic}} to control Pikachu's body and repeatedly smash him into the ceiling. Unwilling to see his friend suffer, Ash forfeited the match. In Ash's subsequent rematch with [[Sabrina]] in ''[[EP024|Haunter versus Kadabra]]'', Pikachu fought Kadabra again, since {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}} didn't show up and his other Pokémon were too terrified. Eventually, Haunter appeared and made Sabrina and Kadabra laugh, leaving them incapacitated. As a result, Ash was declared the winner by [[Sabrina's father]], which earned him the {{badge|Marsh}}.

In ''[[EP033|The Flame Pokémon-athon!]]'', Pikachu entered the [[Big P Pokémon Race]] with {{AP|Squirtle}}. The two were at a significant disadvantage due to Squirtle's short legs, and Pikachu's comparative weight, but in a way, this helped as they managed to escape an {{p|Electrode}} self-destructing. They made ground when they reached the water stage, putting them in the top four with Ash, {{an|Misty}}, and [[Dario]]. However, intervention from Team Rocket forced a battle, and the two were put out of the running by a {{m|Glare}} attack from {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}.

In ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]'', Ash and {{ashfr}} ran into a group of wild Pikachu, which was a very rare encounter. Pikachu tried to make friends with the other Pikachu but received a lukewarm response. After saving a baby Pikachu from falling down a waterfall, Ash's Pikachu was accepted by the group. Ash was overjoyed by this at first but soon began to feel sad, because he thought that Pikachu would be better off with the rest of his kind. After stopping Team Rocket from poaching his Pikachu and the wild Pikachu, Ash decided it was best to leave Pikachu behind with the others. However, Pikachu refused to leave Ash and quickly ran to catch up with him, followed by the wild Pikachu, who supported Ash and Pikachu being together.

In ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'', Pikachu was borrowed by Misty, so she could use him in the [[Queen of the Princess Festival]], the main event in the annual [[Princess Festival]]. During the competition, he was seen defeating a {{p|Fearow}}. In the finals, Pikachu was Misty's first Pokémon used against [[Jessie]]. Pikachu easily managed to defeat Arbok, {{TP|James|Weezing}} and {{MTR}} in succession with a single Thunder Shock. Pikachu then faced [[Jessie's Lickitung]]. He tried attacking with Thunderbolt but was then licked by Lickitung and defeated.

In ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', Pikachu was Ash's last Pokémon used in his seventh Gym battle at the [[Cinnabar Gym]], where he faced off against [[Blaine]]'s {{p|Rhydon}}. Despite being immune to Electric moves, Rhydon was defeated when Pikachu aimed his Thunderbolt attack at the horn on Rhydon's head. Pikachu then faced [[Blaine's Magmar]], whose attacks eventually almost caused Pikachu to fall off the battlefield and into the lava below. Seeing that, Ash then decided to forfeit the match.

[[File:Ash Pikachu Poké Ball.png|thumb|220px|Pikachu's Poké Ball, with a lightning bolt mark, at Professor Oak's Laboratory]]
In ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'', Ash had Pikachu attack Team Rocket and their Pokémon after they sent out Arbok and Weezing to attack during their Gym battle. Using Thunderbolt, Pikachu hit all of the opposing Pokémon at once, causing {{p|Machamp}}, Rhydon and {{p|Kingler}} to run away in fear, and defeating Arbok and Weezing. After Team Rocket got blasted off, Ash got his eighth Gym Badge, the {{badge|Earth}}.

Ash used Pikachu many times during the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]]. In ''[[EP076|Fire and Ice]]'', Pikachu defeated [[Pete Pebbleman]]'s powerful {{p|Arcanine}}, but in ''[[EP077|The Fourth Round Rumble]]'', he was defeated by [[Jeanette Fisher]]'s {{p|Bellsprout}}. Pikachu then faced off against Happy, [[Ritchie]]'s {{p|Butterfree}}, in ''[[EP079|Friend and Foe Alike]]''. Despite being exhausted from battling Team Rocket earlier, he still wanted to fight. After defeating Happy, he faced off against [[Zippo]], Ritchie's {{p|Charmander}}, but due to being exhausted by all his battles, Pikachu was defeated.

In ''[[EP081|Pallet Party Panic]]'', Ash decided to take Pikachu, along with some of his other Pokémon, to the [[Orange Archipelago]] with him.

=====Orange Archipelago=====
In ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-Volts]]'', [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] used a {{p|Drowzee}} to take over the minds of many Pokémon on [[Mandarin Island North]], including Pikachu. To rescue the Pokémon, Ash taunted Pikachu into using Thunderbolt on him, which also hit the machine that Drowzee was wired to, freeing all of the Pokémon from its control.

In ''[[EP093|Navel Maneuvers]]'', Ash called Pikachu to help mold a block of ice into a sled, as part of his competition against [[Danny]]. He later rode in the sled along with his Bulbasaur and Squirtle in a race against Danny and his team. In the end, Ash managed to win the coveted {{badge|Sea Ruby}}.

In ''[[EP099|The Mandarin Island Miss Match]]'', Ash used Pikachu in a battle against [[Lorelei]]{{tt|*|Referred to as Prima in the dub}} of the [[Elite Four]], where he faced her {{TP|Lorelei|Cloyster}}. Eventually, Pikachu lost.

In ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]'', Pikachu participated in the first part of Ash's battle with [[Rudy]], using his Thunderbolt to blast targets. He then faced off against Rudy's {{p|Electabuzz}}, which kept shrugging off Pikachu's attacks. He was eventually defeated by a powerful {{m|Thunder Punch}}.

[[File:PikaMeowthOffer.png|thumb|230px|Pikachu offering {{MTR}} an apple]]
In [[EP104|the following episode]], Team Rocket had a plan to capture Pikachu that involved tying him up with Meowth. This succeeded at first, but Meowth and Pikachu got separated from Jessie and [[James]]. Being lost on the island, the two Pokémon had to work together to defeat powerful Pokémon and get to safety. In the end, Ash, Misty and {{Tracey}} managed to find the duo first and separated them from each other.

In ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]'', Pikachu was used in Ash's Gym battle against [[Luana]], where he had to fight alongside {{AP|Charizard}}. Despite both Pokémon being eager to battle, they started getting angry at each other right before the battle, affecting their teamwork negatively. However, after seeing Charizard being repeatedly attacked by Luana's {{p|Alakazam}} and {{p|Marowak}}, Pikachu decided to help his partner, cementing their cooperation. Both of their opponents ultimately knocked each other out accidentally, thus earning Ash the {{badge|Jade Star}} and allowing him to enter the [[Orange League]].

In ''[[EP111|Hello, Pummelo!]]'', Pikachu was Ash's first Pokémon used in his battle against {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}}, where he faced off against Drake's {{p|Ditto}}. Despite Ditto being able to copy Pikachu's attacks, it wasn't in good shape as Pikachu was. After continuously exchanging attacks, Pikachu managed to defeat it. Pikachu was then recalled when Drake sent out his {{p|Onix}}. [[EP112|Later]], Pikachu faced off against Drake's powerful {{TP|Drake|Dragonite}}, who had already defeated three of Ash's Pokémon. After an exchange of attacks, Pikachu defeated Dragonite, earning Ash the [[Winner's Trophy]] and a spot in the [[Orange League Hall of Fame]].

In ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]'', Pikachu battled [[Gary's Eevee]] and was eventually defeated after Eevee used a powerful {{m|Skull Bash}}. Later on in the episode, Ash decided to take Pikachu, along with his other Pokémon, to [[Johto]] with him.

=====Johto=====
In ''[[EP118|The Double Trouble Header]]'', Ash used Pikachu in his second battle against {{an|Casey}}, where he faced her {{TP|Casey|Chikorita}}. Despite Casey having only recently obtained {{p|Chikorita}}, it quickly gained the upper hand. Just then, the battle was interrupted by Team Rocket, who tried to steal their Pokémon. Their plan failed, however, when Pikachu and Chikorita were reunited with their Trainers and teamed up to defeat Team Rocket.

In ''[[EP131|Fighting Flyer with Fire]]'', Pikachu was used in Ash's [[Violet Gym]] battle against [[Falkner]], where he battled and defeated Falkner's {{p|Hoothoot}} and {{p|Dodrio}}. Pikachu then briefly faced Falkner's {{p|Pidgeot}}, but since he was already tired from his previous matches, he was quickly defeated by a {{m|Whirlwind}}.

In ''[[EP144|Gettin' The Bugs Out]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his third Pokémon in his [[Azalea Gym]] battle, where he went up against [[Bugsy]]'s {{p|Metapod}} and defeated it. He then went up against Bugsy's last, and most powerful Pokémon, {{TP|Bugsy|Scyther}}. Despite having the type advantage, Pikachu's Thunderbolt attacks constantly missed because of {{p|Scyther}}'s Double Team. The real Scyther then appeared behind Pikachu and hit him with a series of {{m|Fury Cutter}}, knocking him out.

In ''[[EP158|A Goldenrod Opportunity]]'', Pikachu faced off against [[Whitney]]'s powerful {{TP|Whitney|Miltank}}, who had already easily defeated [[Ash's Cyndaquil]] and Totodile using {{m|Rollout}}. Ash had Pikachu use Thunderbolt on Miltank since she got wet by Totodile's earlier {{m|Water Gun}}. However, due to Miltank spinning at great speed, she had already dried up, making Thunderbolt useless. Afterwards, Pikachu was defeated by two Rollout attacks, causing Ash to lose the battle. In [[EP159|the following episode]], Pikachu battled Miltank again in Ash's rematch. Due to Ash's strategy with Cyndaquil and Totodile, Miltank lost her balance. This allowed Pikachu to throw Miltank in the air by hiding in one of the ditches and then finish her off with a Thunderbolt, earning Ash the {{badge|Plain}}.

In ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]'', Pikachu and Ash entered the [[Bug-Catching Contest]]. The two encountered a {{p|Weedle}}, but before Pikachu could attack it, Casey's Chikorita intervened, and Casey caught the Hairy Bug Pokémon. Later, Ash and Pikachu chased after a Scyther, but accidentally disturbed a swarm of {{p|Beedrill}} in the process. Pikachu managed to shock one of the Beedrill with Thunderbolt, giving Ash the chance to catch it. With this capture, Ash managed to win the contest, winning him a [[Sun Stone]].

Pikachu befriended a group of Pichu in ''[[EP179|The Apple Corp!]]''. At first, they framed Pikachu for eating some apples, but when the Pichu were attacked by a Fearow, Pikachu warded it off with Thunderbolt. Later, Pikachu was kidnapped by Team Rocket after they sucked away its electricity. However, the Pichu eventually managed to restore Pikachu's electricity, and together, they blasted Team Rocket off.

In ''[[EP182|From Ghost to Ghost]]'', Pikachu was used in Ash's Gym battle against [[Morty]]. He faced off against Morty's {{p|Gastly}} but was defeated by a single {{m|Night Shade}}.

In ''[[EP209|Machoke, Machoke Man!]]'', Ash chose Pikachu as his first Pokémon in his Gym battle against [[Chuck]]. Pikachu battled Chuck's {{p|Poliwrath}}, but his Thunderbolt and Quick Attack did not defeat it. Afterwards, it hit Pikachu with a series of powerful {{m|Double Slap}} attacks, knocking him out.

In ''[[EP224|Nerves of Steelix!]]'', Ash sent out Pikachu to battle Jasmine's {{p|Magnemite}}. Both Pokémon proved to be equal in speed, but finally, Ash decided to let Pikachu take a {{m|Thunder Wave}} from Magnemite so it could get hit by a Thunderbolt, causing a lot of damage. Pikachu then finished it off with a Quick Attack, crashing it into a wall. Next, Pikachu faced off against Jasmine's strongest Pokémon, {{TP|Jasmine|Steelix}}. Due to his previous battle against Magnemite, Pikachu was tired and subsequently defeated by a powerful {{m|Iron Tail}}.

In ''[[EP237|As Cold as Pryce]]'', Pikachu was seen aiding Cyndaquil in reviving [[Pryce's Piloswine]]. In [[EP238|the following episode]], Pikachu was sent out to battle Piloswine, who had already defeated Cyndaquil. Though the battle was well-fought, Pikachu wound up receiving more damage. Despite this, he refused to give up and was about to attack again when [[Pryce]] forfeited, giving Ash the win and earning him the {{badge|Glacier}}.

In ''[[EP252|Fangs for Nothin']]'', Ash chose Pikachu as his first Pokémon in his Gym battle against [[Clair]], pitting him against her {{p|Kingdra}}. Since Ash was unaware of Kingdra's {{t|Dragon|secondary type}}, Pikachu's Electric attacks and [[physical move]]s didn't affect the Dragon Pokémon, forcing him to follow Misty and Brock's advice and recall Pikachu. Their battle was later stopped due to Team Rocket's theft of the [[Dragon Fang]]. In [[EP253|the following episode]], Pikachu helped stop the rampage of a {{p|Dragonite}} that belonged to the old {{gy|Blackthorn}} {{OBP|Gym Leader|EP253}}.

In [[EP254|the next episode]], Pikachu was used in Ash's rematch against Clair, where he faced her {{p|Gyarados}}. Despite Pikachu having the double type-advantage, Gyarados proved to be powerful and initially gained the upper hand. Eventually, Pikachu got close enough to defeat the Atrocious Pokémon with a powerful Thunderbolt. Clair then sent out her {{TP|Clair|Dragonair}} to battle Pikachu. It managed to dodge Pikachu's attacks and knock him out with a point-blank Hyper Beam.

Pikachu was used many times during the [[Silver Conference]]. In ''[[EP266|A Claim to Flame!]]'', he defeated [[Salvador]]'s {{p|Furret}}. In ''[[EP268|Tie One On!]]'', this good showing was followed by [[Vincent|Jackson]]'s {{p|Azumarill}}, but Pikachu was then defeated by Jackson's {{Shiny}} {{p|Magneton}}. In ''[[EP271|Playing with Fire!]]'', Pikachu was Ash's first Pokémon used in his battle against {{jo|Harrison}}, defeating his {{p|Kecleon}} before being defeated in turn by Harrison's {{TP|Harrison|Sneasel}}.

After saying farewell to Misty and Brock in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'', Ash decided to only take Pikachu with him to [[Hoenn]], and left Pallet Town with him at the end of the episode. In [[EP274|the following episode]], while getting ready to depart for Hoenn by ship, Ash and Pikachu were attacked by Team Rocket, who used an electromagnet to stick Pikachu to it and drain his electricity. Eventually, thanks to some wild Pokémon and Officer Jenny, Pikachu was saved. The next day, Ash tried to wake Pikachu up, but he soon noticed that he was suffering from a severe illness caused by the electromagnet.

===={{series|Advanced Generation}}====
=====Hoenn=====
In ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road!]]'', Pikachu was treated by [[Professor Birch]], who strapped him to a machine to drain out the overload electricity he received.

At the end of the fight, Lucario's Aura Sphere overpowered Pikachu's Electro Ball and him Pikachu out, thus eliminating Ash from the Vertress Conference and placing him in Top 8.

In ''[[BW112|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot]]'', Pikachu battled wild Pokémon controlled by [[Colress]] to free them and stop [[Team Plasma]]. Impressed by Pikachu's power, Colress managed to gain control of Pikachu by attaching a receiver to his head, and he ordered him to attack Ash and the group. As Colress was increasing the power of the EM waves responsible for the mind control, Ash begged Pikachu to fight it off. During Pikachu's strenuous attempts to do so, the receiver overloaded and got destroyed, freeing Pikachu from Team Plasma's control.

In ''[[BW121|Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!]]'', Pikachu and Ash's other Pokémon fought Team Plasma's Pokémon to prevent them from awakening {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Reshiram}}. Colress, however, activated his improved mind-control machine and managed to hit Pikachu with the machine's laser, controlling him again. This time, however, Ash's voice didn't get through to Pikachu's control, and he was knocked unconscious by Pikachu's Thunderbolt. {{an|N}} then offered to give Team Plasma the [[Light Stone]] in exchange for them freeing Pikachu from their control, and they agreed.

In [[BW122|the next episode]], Pikachu tried to destroy Colress's machine to free Reshiram and all of the other Pokémon from [[Ghetsis]]'s control. However, he was ultimately hit by the laser, which put him under control once again. To everyone's surprise, Pikachu managed to resist the machine's influence, using his electricity to fight off Ghetsis's control and used Thunderbolt on Reshiram to help it escape from Ghetsis's control as well. Despite Colress increasing the machine's power, Pikachu kept resisting, and together with Reshiram, they destroyed the machine with Electro Ball and {{m|Fusion Flare}}, freeing all of the Pokémon from Team Plasma's control and defeating the [[Villainous teams|villainous team]].

After being thrown out of the [[Lumiose Gym]] for not having enough Badges, Ash was saved by {{an|Clemont}} while Pikachu was saved by {{an|Bonnie}}. Bonnie was excited to be holding Pikachu, leading to him shocking her because she was holding him too tightly. After becoming acquainted with their rescuers, Ash challenged Clemont to a battle, which Clemont reluctantly agreed to. In the battle, Pikachu faced [[Clemont's Bunnelby]]. Despite Clemont admitting that he only recently caught Bunnelby, he proved to be quite a challenge for Pikachu. However, the battle was interrupted by Team Rocket, who once again attempted to steal Pikachu. Ash attempted to stop them, but Jessie had her {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} reflect Pikachu's attacks with {{m|Mirror Coat}}. Pikachu was saved by a {{AP|Froakie}}, who shielded him with its body at the cost of being injured. With Bunnelby and Froakie's help, Pikachu blasted the trio off. Froakie soon collapsed from its injuries, so Ash, Pikachu, and their new friends went to {{an|Professor Sycamore}} to heal Froakie.

In ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'', Ash and Pikachu managed to get Froakie to Professor Sycamore. Later, when Professor Sycamore's {{p|Garchomp}} went crazy from one of Team Rocket's devices, Pikachu and Ash pursued her to get the device off and free her. After chasing her to the top of Prism Tower, Pikachu removed the device from Garchomp's neck with Iron Tail. However, due to the fight damaging the tower, the ground Pikachu was standing on broke off, causing him to fall off. Ash immediately leaped in to save his friend, to the shock of many, including {{an|Serena}}.

In [[XY006|the next episode]], they were finally able to withstand Noivern's Gust. Later, using one of Clemont's inventions, they practiced avoiding Surskit's {{m|Sticky Web}}. After it broke, they used Froakie and its Frubbles instead to practice. The next day, Pikachu was Ash's first Pokémon for his rematch against Viola, where he again went up against her Surskit and finally defeated it. Ash recalled Pikachu and substituted him for Fletchling. He was later called out again to battle Vivillon, who had beaten Fletchling. During the battle, Pikachu was nearly put to sleep by Vivillon's {{m|Sleep Powder}}, but Ash had Pikachu use Electro Ball on himself to keep himself awake. Then, Pikachu defeated the Scale Pokémon, earning Ash the {{badge|Bug}}.

While searching for Pikachu, Clemont, Bonnie, and Serena were also hypnotized by Malamar. Once Ash and Meowth finally found Pikachu, Team Rocket, and Madame X, Madame X forced Pikachu to attack Ash. Ash got through to Pikachu, who started fighting Malamar's control. Afterwards, the Automatic Pikachu Retrieving Device burst in and rammed into Malamar, causing it to lose its control over everyone.

However, during the battle, Lucario lost control of its Mega Evolution and went berserk, forcing Ash to protect Pikachu. In response, [[Gurkinn]] sent out his own {{p|Lucario}} to block the attack. Lucario then lost consciousness and the battle was called off.

In ''[[XY065|Good Friends, Great Training!]]'', Pikachu and Sliggoo were used in a Double Battle against Tierno's Wartortle and Raichu.

There, they were tricked by Team Rocket, who separated the group from their Poké Balls, with only Pikachu managing to escape. During a battle, Pikachu avoided being recalled into his Poké Ball and hid in one of the vent shafts. He then tried to free Ash and his friends with Iron Tail, but when that failed and Team Rocket discovered him, Pikachu attempted to get the briefcase that held the group's Poké Balls. Meowth then chased Pikachu, being the only one small enough to squeeze through the factory equipment and ventilation shafts that Pikachu escaped through, and continuously attempted to recall Pikachu into his Poké Ball. In the end, Team Rocket attempted to escape with all of the Poké Balls they stole, though by that point, Pikachu freed Ash and they pursued them. Pikachu managed to stop their van with his Thunderbolt, and Meowth challenged Pikachu to a one-on-one battle, which he accepted. Pikachu managed to defeat his foe despite the Scratch Cat Pokémon attempting to use Pikachu's Poké Ball on him. After Team Rocket got blasted off again, the group was invited by the grateful factory staff to a genuine tour of the factory.

In ''[[XY090|Tag Team Battle Inspiration!]]'', Pikachu was used in a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] against [[Serena's Eevee]] and Shauna's Ivysaur with Tierno's Blastoise as his partner.

In ''[[XY093|All Eyes on the Future!]]'', Pikachu wasn't chosen for Ash's Double Battle with [[Olympia]], but he did help Ash keep track of when the {{m|Future Sight}} from Olympia's two {{p|Meowstic}} would strike, by using his tail as a makeshift timer. This eventually allowed Frogadier and Talonflame to turn the attack against them and ultimately win the battle.

In ''[[XY098|Dream a Little Dream from Me!]]'', after the group viewed the [[Litleonids|Litleonid meteor shower]], Pikachu was pulled into [[Squishy]]'s dream by a {{p|Darkrai}}. In the dream, the group's Pokémon were either in their evolved or pre-evolved forms and could speak human language, while humans spoke like Pokémon. Freaked out by this, Pikachu fled and ran into Meowth, who had also been pulled into the dream. Pikachu and Meowth then encountered a talking Squishy. Suddenly, a flaming ghost appeared and attacked them. They managed to escape, after which Squishy revealed a glimpse of its true strength to Pikachu and Meowth, motivating them to help Squishy get to its home so it could gain this strength. On their way, they were attacked by the flaming ghost again and Pikachu decided to battle it. Pikachu's attacks, however, couldn't land, but he was soon aided by the group's Pokémon, and together, they managed to defeat the creature. In the end, Pikachu, Meowth, and Squishy were awakened by Clemont's invention.

In ''[[XY105|Party Dancecapades!]]'', Pikachu partnered up with [[Miette]]'s {{p|Slurpuff}} in a dance party hosted by [[Monsieur Pierre]].

After Ash returned at the end of the episode, an overjoyed Pikachu was able to quickly send Team Rocket blasting off.

In [[XY122|the next episode]], he participated in Ash's rematch against Wulfric and battled his {{p|Bergmite}}. After defeating it, Pikachu faced off against Wulfric's {{p|Avalugg}}. Despite Pikachu's attempt to strategy, he was ultimately knocked out.

In ''[[XY130|Finals Not for the Faint-Hearted!]]'', Pikachu was used as Ash's first Pokémon in his battle against [[Alain]] during the Lumiose Conference finals.

Afterwards, Pikachu battled Alain's strongest Pokémon, {{TP|Alain|Charizard}}. [[XY131|However]], Pikachu was too exhausted to outmaneuver Charizard by that point, thus he was overpowered and knocked out.

In ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'', Pikachu and Ash went with Alain to go look for [[Mairin]], but once they found her, they were obstructed by the giant roots. They were then ambushed by [[Celosia]] before her {{p|Drapion}}'s {{m|Confuse Ray}} hit them and knocked Ash unconscious. Pikachu attempted to protect his Trainer but eventually fell to Confuse Ray's effects as well and passed out. Pikachu, along with Ash and his other Pokémon, was then taken captive by [[Lysandre]] on the top of Prism Tower. He watched while Ash and Greninja were hit by [[Team Flare]]'s miniature version of the Mega Evolution energy weapon, until Ash and Greninja freed themselves using [[Bond Phenomenon]], in [[XY133|the following episode]]. Pikachu and the others were then freed, after which they teamed up with Alain's Charizard and [[Malva]]'s Mega {{p|Houndoom}} to battle and defeat [[Lysandre's Pyroar]] and Shiny Mega Gyarados in ''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'' and ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]''.

Afterwards, Pikachu helped Serena's Braixen, [[Steven's Metagross]] and Professor Sycamore's Garchomp fight the [[Giant Rock]]. He and the other Pokémon were eventually subdued by the creature's roots, but they were freed by a combined attack from the Pokémon of all the Gym Leaders of Kalos and Diantha. After coming up with a strategy, in ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', everyone combined their powers to fend off the Giant Rock's roots, allowing Ash and Alain to reach its center and save [[Chespie]], bringing the creature down.

After Serena departed, Pikachu participated in one final battle between Ash and Clemont, in which he faced Clemont's Bunnelby, just like their first battle, but the outcome was left unknown. Ash and Pikachu then separated from Clemont and Bonnie and returned to Pallet Town.

===={{series|Sun & Moon}}====
Pikachu joined Ash, Delia, and Mimey on a vacation to the [[Alola]] region in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]''. On their way to the [[Pokémon School]] on [[Melemele Island]], Pikachu and Ash followed a wild {{p|Grubbin}} into a forest, where the two noticed {{an|Kiawe|a Trainer}} riding a {{TP|Kiawe|Charizard}}. They followed him and arrived at the Pokémon School, where they met some of the school's students as well as {{an|Professor Kukui}} and Professor Oak's cousin, [[Samson Oak]]. Ash later used Pikachu to battle a trio of {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}}s, who were harassing Kiawe, and their trio of {{p|Zubat}}, {{p|Salandit}}, and {{p|Yungoos}}. After a while, Kiawe had his {{TP|Kiawe|Turtonator}} use the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Inferno Overdrive}}, which knocked [[Team Skull]]'s Pokémon out in one shot. That evening, Pikachu and Ash followed {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Koko}}, the [[Guardian deities|guardian deity]] of Melemele Island, who handed Ash a [[Z-Ring]] and an [[Electrium Z]]. Pikachu later remained in Alola with Ash when he decided to study at the Pokémon School.

In [[SM002|the next episode]], Ash's classmates held a surprise welcome party for him, where he and Pikachu participated in several challenges. During their lunch break, Tapu Koko appeared again and stole Ash's hat, prompting Ash and his classmates to follow it. Arriving in a forest, Tapu Koko challenged Ash to a battle, which he accepted. Tapu Koko eventually tapped Ash's Z-Ring, activating it and allowing Pikachu to perform {{m|Gigavolt Havoc}}, which destroyed a large part of the area but also caused Ash's Electrium Z to shatter. Afterwards, Tapu Koko flew off again.

In ''[[SM009|To Top a Totem!]]'', Pikachu was used in Ash's first [[island challenge]] trial in [[Verdant Cavern]]. Alongside {{AP|Rowlet}}, he first fought a Yungoos and {{p|Gumshoos}}.

This win earned Ash a [[Normalium Z]].

Pikachu was used as Ash's final Pokémon in his battle against [[Hala]] during the Melemele Island grand trial in ''[[SM010|Trial and Tribulation!]]''.

In ''[[SM019|A Guardian Rematch!]]'', Ash and Pikachu trained for a rematch against Tapu Koko. The next day, the two were greeted by Tapu Koko again and were challenged to another battle. Unlike their last battle, Pikachu managed to get a few hits on the guardian deity and performed Gigavolt Havoc again; this time, it was powerful enough to send Tapu Koko flying. However, Pikachu was blasted off a cliff, prompting Ash to jump after him. The two were saved in time by Tapu Koko, who flew off afterwards.

In ''[[SM030|The Ol' Raise and Switch!]]'', Professor Kukui tasked everyone with switching their partner Pokémon with somebody else. As a result, Pikachu was given to {{an|Lillie}}, whilst [[Snowy]] went to Ash. Because of her fear of Pokémon, Lillie decided to have a battle with [[Hobbes]] and his {{p|Oricorio}} to help conquer her fear. Despite her lack of battle experience, Lillie was able to defeat Oricorio and touch Pikachu. Ash then proposed a battle against Lillie and Pikachu, to show them how strong he and Snowy had gotten together.

In ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', Ash used Pikachu in his battle against Misty, where he battled her {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}}. At one point, Misty revealed her [[Key Stone]] and Mega Evolved her Gyarados. Despite this, Ash and Pikachu performed Gigavolt Havoc, which defeated Gyarados and gave Ash the win.

During Ash and his classmates' travels in [[Ultra Deep Sea]] to rescue {{an|Lusamine}} in ''[[SM054|10,000,000 Reasons to Fight!]]'', Pikachu fought Lusamine, who had been fused with a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Nihilego}}. Ash's Electrium Z mysteriously turned into a [[Pikashunium Z]], allowing the two to perform {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}} for the first time. The Z-Move defeated Nihilego, allowing Lillie and {{an|Gladion}} to pull Lusamine free from its hold.

In ''[[SM076|A Battle Hand-Off!]]'', Ash used Pikachu in his trial battle at the {{OBP|Thrifty Megamart|Abandoned Site}}, where he battled Team Rocket and {{TP|Jessie|Mimikyu}}. Pikachu was left vulnerable to Mimikyu's Z-Move, {{m|Let's Snuggle Forever}}, but he protected himself with his newly learned {{m|Electroweb}}. Using his new move, Pikachu was able to trap Mimikyu, which allowed him and Ash to perform a Z-Move of their own. Ash's Electrium Z then turned into a Pikashunium Z again, allowing Pikachu to use 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt once more and defeat Mimikyu. This allowed Ash to qualify for [[Nanu]]'s grand trial.

In ''[[SM100|Battling the Beast Within!]]'', Ash and Pikachu encountered Tapu Koko again and had another rematch against it. Just then, a {{Shiny}} {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Shiny Tapu Koko|Tapu Koko}} from another dimension unleashed its own attack, creating a rift that transported Ash and Pikachu to the dimension's [[Ultra Ruin]]. They soon encountered a wild {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Ultra Ruin Guzzlord|Guzzlord}}, which started chasing after the duo. However, they were saved by {{al|Dia}} and {{p|Zeraora}}. After learning about Guzzlord and the Ultra Ruin, Ash challenged Dia to a battle to prove his ability to help Dia. Pikachu faced off against Zeraora, but was overwhelmed by Zeraora's fast moves and quickly defeated.

[[SM101|Later]], at Dia's base, Pikachu and Ash trained and convinced Dia and Zeraora to join them. Pikachu and Zeraora engaged in another battle, which attracted the attention of Guzzlord. After the {{an|Ultra Beasts|Ultra Beast}}'s arrival, the group lured it to the [[Ultra Wormhole]] that it emerged from in the past. After trapping Guzzlord with Electroweb, Pikachu and Zeraora attacked the immobilized Ultra Beast in an attempt to send it back through the Ultra Wormhole but failed. However, after the Shiny Tapu Koko intervened, Ash and Dia were able to activate their Z-Rings and have Pikachu and Zeraora perform a double Gigavolt Havoc to successfully push Guzzlord into the wormhole. Afterwards, Pikachu and Zeraora had one more battle to create another dimensional rift, which took Pikachu and Ash back home.

Afterwards, Hapu offered Ash a choice of type-specific Z-Crystals; Pikachu opted for a [[Steelium Z]], which Hapu awarded to Ash for his victory.

In ''[[SM115|The Dealer of Destruction!]]'', Pikachu battled [[Team Skull]]'s leader [[Guzma]] and his {{p|Golisopod}}. Despite the type advantage, Pikachu was quickly overwhelmed by Golisopod, as he was unable to penetrate the Hard Scale Pokémon's armor even when using his Z-Move {{m|Corkscrew Crash}}. The match ended prematurely when Golisopod returned to its Poké Ball due to its {{a|Emergency Exit}} Ability.

In ''[[SM129|Battle Royal 151!]]'', Ash used Pikachu in the [[Battle Royal]] preliminary round of the [[Manalo Conference]], where he was able to defeat various Trainers' Pokémon and allow Ash to proceed to the next round.

In ''[[SM138|Final Rivals!]]'', Ash used Pikachu to finish off [[Gladion's Silvally]], who had been worn down by {{AP|Melmetal}}, in the Manalo Conference finals. He then went up against what seemed to be [[Gladion's Lycanroc]], but turned out to be {{p|Zoroark}} in {{a|Illusion|disguise}}. In the [[SM139|next episode]], the two Pokémon clashed and proved to be equal in strength. When Gladion had Zoroark use {{m|Never-Ending Nightmare}}, Ash countered with Pikachu's Breakneck Blitz. Both Z-Moves succeeded in hitting their targets, knocking both Pokémon out.

In ''[[SM142|A Full Battle Bounty!]]'', Ash chose to use Pikachu to battle Professor Kukui's {{p|Empoleon}} during Ash's {{wp|exhibition game|exhibition match}} against him. While the two Pokémon were equally matched, Pikachu was eventually caught in Empoleon's {{m|Whirlpool}}, causing him to get dizzy. To save Pikachu from being defeated, Ash withdrew him from the battle and sent out Melmetal to replace him.

In ''[[SM144|From Z to Shining Z!]]'', Ash sent Pikachu back into the battle as his final Pokémon to face Tapu Koko, who had taken the place of Kukui's sixth Pokémon in the match. When both Pokémon were evenly matched, Tapu Koko and its fellow deities restored Ash and Kukui's Z-Power, giving them a chance to use another Z-Move, since [[SM143|they already used up their Z-Moves for the match]]. Tapu Koko then handed Kukui a [[Tapunium Z]], and it and Kukui started performing {{m|Guardian of Alola}}. During this, Ash's Electrium Z once again transformed into a Pikashunium Z, allowing Pikachu to counter with 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt. The two Z-Moves clashed, with Pikachu's attack eventually overpowering Tapu Koko's, defeating it and making Ash the winner of the exhibition match.

====[[New series]]====
In [[SS007]], Ash used Pikachu as his second Pokémon in his battle against [[Houji]] in the [[Battle Frontier Flute Cup]] finals, where he faced Houji's {{p|Mightyena}}.

In [[SS013]], Ash used Pikachu to battle a [[Gigantamax]] {{p|Drednaw}} that was rampaging outside [[Wyndon Stadium]]. His attacks did nothing against the giant Pokémon, forcing Ash and Pikachu to run, but unexpectedly, they stumbled upon glowing cracks on the ground, from which [[Dynamax]] energy poured out and caused Pikachu to Gigantamax too. Initially, Pikachu had trouble moving around in his new, giant form, but soon got used to it. Following an advice from [[Leon]], Ash told Pikachu to use {{m|G-Max Volt Crash}}, defeating Drednaw and causing it to revert to normal. Afterwards, Pikachu returned to normal as well. Later, Ash used Pikachu in a battle against Leon and his {{p|Charizard}}. Thanks to the [[Dynamax Band]] that Ash had received from Leon, Pikachu was able to Gigantamax again. Despite this, however, Pikachu was soon defeated by Charizard's {{m|G-Max Wildfire}}.

===Personality and characteristics===
{{bulbanews|Personality & Development: Ash's Pikachu}}
After Ash gained Pikachu's loyalty in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', Pikachu became extremely loyal to Ash and has maintained this loyalty, and while he is not always immediately trusting of strangers, he is generally friendly to humans and Pokémon alike. He acted as a guardian and big brother to [[Misty's Togepi]], and has been seen meditating and even breaking up fights among other Pokémon, such as in ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]''. In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', Pikachu, {{MTR}}, and Meowth's clone were the only Pokémon not to participate in the giant battle; Pikachu stood motionless as his [[Pikachutwo|clone]] repeatedly slapped his face. Contrary to his distrusting nature, Pikachu took a liking to Misty very early in the series, and he has retained this liking of Misty throughout the series, such as when he was very happy to see her in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'' and ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]''.
[[File:Pikachu loves ketchup.png|200px|thumb|left|Pikachu and his love of ketchup]]

During the Hoenn saga, Pikachu [[AG089|temporarily developed amnesia]] and sided with {{TRT}} for a while. On several occasions, Pikachu has developed an "electric flu" causing him to become overcharged and extremely powerful. During these instances, Pikachu will sometimes accidentally let off electric outbursts which can be set off on anyone, including Ash. In all of these cases, Pikachu did not mean harm upon anyone.

As shown in a handful of episodes, the first being ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'', Pikachu has a special fondness for ketchup, but he will eat and enjoy almost any other human or Pokémon food. In ''[[BW116|The Fires Of A Red-Hot Reunion]]'', Pikachu also displayed a fondness for orange juice. In ''[[SM104|That's Some Spicy Island Research!]]'', Pikachu was shown to have a distaste for [[Poni Island]] radishes. A running joke in the anime also seems to be Pikachu using Thunderbolt at the beginning of each series to accidentally destroy a female companion's bike or unintentionally shock the companion herself. This has happened to {{an|Misty}}, {{an|May}}, {{an|Dawn}}, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Bonnie}}.

Pikachu, like his Trainer, is always happy to battle. He often tries his very best, but when he loses, he doesn't complain or feel bad about himself, especially when Ash reassures him. Ash and Pikachu are almost identical personality-wise, and thus are the perfect match for one another. Most others agree, except for [[Burgundy]], who in ''[[BW019|A Connoisseur's Revenge!]]'' said that Ash had a terrible relationship with all of his Pokémon, though this is more due to her inexperience in determining such relationships. Though rare, the two can still butt heads at times. When they first met, Pikachu would shock Ash with electricity out of vitriol. While being zapped by Pikachu still happens regularly for poor Ash, it's usually when he angers his buddy (such as when Ash rubs and pulls Pikachu's cheeks), or by accident (when Ash grabs Pikachu's tail by mistake).

[[File:ZappedAgain.png|thumb|250px|Pikachu does not like having his cheeks rubbed]]
In general, Pikachu as a species is not particularly powerful, but Ash's Pikachu is an anomaly, overcoming odds in {{pkmn|battle}} numerous times. In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', {{MTR}} remarked that Pikachu's power "far exceeds its evolutionary level". In ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', he defeated [[Brock's Onix]] with an {{type|Electric}} attack that triggered the sprinkler system causing Onix to be drenched in water, one of its weaknesses. Ash's Pikachu has also defeated very powerful Pokémon that Ash's other Pokémon were unable to, such as {{p|Dragonite}}, {{p|Metagross}} and [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}}. He was also the second of Ash's Pokémon to defeat a legendary Pokémon in battle, defeating [[Brandon's Legendary titans#Regice|Brandon's Regice]] to win the Brave Symbol. He later fought {{si|Tobias}}'s Latios to a draw in [[DP189|the semi-finals]] of the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]. He has helped Ash win countless battles and [[Gym]] and {{pkmn|League}} matches.

The possibility of evolving into Raichu was first raised in the episode ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]''. After suffering a crushing defeat by [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]], Nurse Joy presented Ash with a Thunder Stone. Ash allowed Pikachu to decide, but it smacked the stone away with his tail, choosing to become stronger as it is, and defeated Raichu using its superior speed. In the Sinnoh region, Pikachu [[DP074|battled]] a Raichu belonging to a trainer named [[Sho]]. The two were evenly matched until Raichu used {{m|Hyper Beam}} to secure victory, a move Pikachu could not learn. At a Pokémon Center, Ash revealed that he kept the Thunder Stone he acquired in Vermilion City in case Pikachu changed his mind about evolving. Once again, Pikachu chose not to evolve and defeated Sho's Raichu in a rematch with a combination of speed and spinning techniques learned from {{an|Dawn}}. In the interim, {{TRT}} stole the Thunder Stone, as they also liked Pikachu to stay as he is.

However, at times, {{p|Pikachu}} has lived up to his species' frail and brittle strengths, particularly in Gym battles, where he was defeated with relative ease by his opponent; for example, he was overpowered very easily by Lt. Surge's Raichu, [[Sabrina's Kadabra]], [[Blaine's Magmar]], [[Bugsy]]'s {{p|Scyther}}, [[Whitney's Miltank]], [[Chuck]]'s {{p|Poliwrath}}, [[Roark's Rampardos]], [[Fantina's Drifblim]], [[Cress]]'s {{p|Panpour}}, and [[Viola]]'s {{p|Surskit}}, despite having a type advantage with Scyther, Poliwrath, Drifblim, Panpour, and Surskit. He also drew against [[Winona]]'s {{p|Pelipper}} and [[Norman]]'s {{p|Vigoroth}}, and struggled against [[Crasher Wake]]'s {{p|Floatzel}}. Furthermore, he has lost twice to [[Trip's Serperior]], as a Snivy in ''[[BW001|In the Shadow of Zekrom!]]'' and a Servine in ''[[BW010|A Rival Battle for Club Champ!]]'', despite Trip being a starting Trainer and recently having obtained Serperior. In addition, Pikachu tends to struggle when his mobility is hindered, such as when the aforementioned Panpour weakened Volt Tackle with {{m|Mud Sport}}, when the icy battlefield of Viola's Surskit threw him off balance in the first battle, or when his legs were numbed by [[Wulfric]]'s {{p|Bergmite}} and its {{m|Icy Wind}}, preventing him from using Quick Attack.

Pikachu became the second non-legendary Pokémon to defeat a [[legendary Pokémon]] in the anime after {{AP|Charizard}}. It was able to beat {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s {{DL|Brandon's Legendary titans|Regice}} in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]'', giving Ash his final [[Symbol|Frontier Symbol]].

[[File:Ash Pikachu and Dawn Piplup.png|thumb|250px|left|Pikachu walking along with Dawn's Piplup]]
Pikachu is also the only one of Ash's Pokémon to accompany him to the [[Hoenn]], [[Unova]], [[Kalos]], and [[Alola]] regions, and was intended to be the only Pokémon to accompany him to [[Sinnoh]] before {{AP|Aipom}} was discovered to have stowed away on the ship Ash was taking. Up until the capture of [[Dawn's Pachirisu]], Pikachu was the only {{type|Electric}} Pokémon in the anime owned by a main character.

Pikachu is always becoming a constant target whenever he gets captured by Team Rocket. Sometimes, they succeed with nets, cages, capsules or different devices, but most of the time their plans always failed by Ash and his friends or something else. Whenever Pikachu gets released from their trap and reunites with Ash, he sends Team Rocket blasting off with his {{t|Electric}} attacks. Most of the time, in this case, his Thunderbolt. Sometimes, Pikachu sends them away even when he didn't get stolen. On other occasions, he battles them with Ash.

Even with his high level of electrical power, Pikachu has not stopped learning new attacks. Upon learning that [[Roxanne]], the Rustboro Gym Leader used Rock types, Ash had Pikachu begin learning Iron Tail in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]''. After training hard, Pikachu finally perfected it in ''[[AG016|The Winner by a Nosepass]]'', where he used it to defeat Roxanne's {{p|Nosepass}} and earn Ash his first Hoenn Badge. In addition to giving Pikachu an advantage over Rock types, Iron Tail has allowed Pikachu to defeat many powerful opponents. In ''[[AG150|May's Egg-Cellent Adventure]]'', during a battle with Team Rocket, Ash ordered Pikachu to do a Quick Attack. Much to the surprise of Ash and his friends, the Quick Attack morphed into Volt Tackle which sent Team Rocket blasting off. Until ''[[BW020|Dancing With the Ducklett Trio!]]'', it has been one of Pikachu's signature moves, in which Pikachu replaced it with Electro Ball, which it learned while battling a trio of annoying {{p|Ducklett}}. Not only that, Pikachu has used his Ability, {{a|Static}}, a few times in the anime.

====Pikachu's imitations====
Pikachu has demonstrated a great talent for mimicking Pokémon, altering the look of his physical features to match another Pokémon's appearance. He will occasionally use this talent to specify what Pokémon or person he is talking about. These imitation skills were notably put to use during the [[Pokémon Dress-Up Contest]], where Pikachu was able to thrill the audience without the need for a costume or make-up.

====Pikachu's language====
Some of [[Pokémon language|Pikachu's speech]] is consistent enough that it seems that some phrases mean something. (In ''[[DP115|Stealing The Conversation!]]'', {{TRT}} refers to this language as "PikaSpeak," but this most likely isn't official.) For instance, Pikachu always uses "Pikapi" when referring to Ash (notice that it sounds somewhat similar to "Satoshi"). Other speech includes:
* Pi-Kachu: ''[[Dawn's Piplup|Pochama]]'' (Piplup)
* Pikachu-Pi: ''{{an|Misty|Kasumi}}'' (Misty)
* Pika-Chu: ''{{an|Brock|Takeshi}}'' (Brock), ''[[Iris's Axew|Kibago]]'' (Axew)
* Pikaka: ''{{an|Dawn|Hikari}}'' (Dawn)
* PiPiPi: ''{{TP|Misty|Togepy|Togepi}}'' (Togepi)
* PikakaPika: ''[[Ash's Bulbasaur|Fushigidane]]'' (Bulbasaur)
* PikaPika: ''[[Ash's Squirtle|Zenigame]]'' (Squirtle), ''[[Ash's Staraptor|Mukuhawk]]'' (Staraptor), ''[[Ash's Infernape|Goukazaru]]'' (Infernape) '' [[Ash's Palpitoad|Gamagaru]]'' (Palpitoad) or ''[[BW129|Marilli]]'' (Azumarill)
* PiPi-kachu: ''[[Team Rocket trio|Rocket-dan]]'' (Team Rocket)
* Pi-Pikachu: ''[[Gotta catch 'em all!|Get da ze!]]'' (He says this after Ash wins a Badge, catches a new Pokémon or anything similar.)
** Pikachu may not be the only one to use this phrase, as other Pokémon do this as well. For example, when Iris caught Emolga, Axew said Ax-Axew (Ki-Kibago in the Japanese). This also happened when Iris caught {{TP|Iris|Gible}} in [[BWS02]].
* Pika-Pikachu: When referring to or introducing himself.
* Chaa: Anything he says happily or excitedly, or when yawning.
* Pika!: "Matte!", or saying "Wait!"
* Pi-kaPika: "Sayōnara," or saying "Good-bye."

==In the games==
===In the core series===
{{main|Red's Pikachu (game)}}
In the main series, {{ga|Red's Pikachu}} is noticeably based on Ash's Pikachu: not only does {{ga|Red}} receive it from [[Professor Oak]] after his rival, Oak's grandson, takes the last [[starter Pokémon]] in {{game|Yellow}}, but it [[walking Pokémon|follows Red around]] rather than being kept in a Poké Ball. In [[Generation II]] and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Pikachu is the highest-leveled member of Red's team when he is encountered at [[Mt. Silver]], and the highest leveled Pokémon owned by a Trainer in the entire series excluding battle arenas. His moves, notably in HeartGold and SoulSilver, are the four moves most used by Ash's Pikachu at the time of the games' release. The Pikachu in the Super Smash Bros. series may be based on Ash's Pikachu.

=====Pikachu in a cap=====
[[File:Cap Pikachu Pikashunium Z Event.png|thumb|240px|Event artwork]]
{{main|Pikachu in a cap}}
These cap-wearing Pikachu are {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive Pokémon that debuted in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], and were distributed in celebration of the [[Pokémon anime]]'s 20th movie, ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', and by extension, the anime's 20th anniversary. Like Ash's Pikachu, these Pikachu are always [[gender|male]] and cannot evolve. They also have access to the exclusive [[Z-Crystal]], [[Pikashunium Z]], and its [[Z-Move]], {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}}.

A [[Ash's Pikachu (M20)|seventh Cap Pikachu]], wearing the hat Ash wears in [[M20|the twentieth movie]], debuted in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]]. In Japan, it was distributed via [[QR Code]] on a special [[Pokémon Ga-Olé]] disc. In the Americas, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, it was distributed via a QR Code that was given to those who attended screenings of the 20th movie.

Pikachu in a cap is not present in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], despite being based on a {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}}, but has Pokédex entries in {{g|Sword and Shield}}. However, it is currently unknown if {{g|HOME}} will support Pikachu in a cap.

* Pikachu was the first of Ash's Pokémon to habitually disobey him. Other Pokémon that would do so, and are better remembered for their disobedience than Pikachu, are {{AP|Primeape}} and {{AP|Charizard}}.
* Pikachu is the second Pokémon in the entire anime to have managed to defeat a [[Legendary Pokémon]], which he did by defeating {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s {{DL|Brandon's Legendary titans|Regice}} in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]''.
** Pikachu has also defeated more [[Legendary Pokémon]] than any other Pokémon in the anime, with a total of four: Brandon's {{p|Regice}} in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]'', {{si|Tobias}}'s {{p|Latios}} in ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'' (though in that case, it was a draw, as Pikachu knocked himself out in the process), [[Gladion's Silvally]] in ''[[SM138|Final Rivals!]]'', and {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Koko}} in ''[[SM144|From Z to Shining Z!]]''.
* In ''[[DP142|Where No Togepi Has Gone Before!]]'', it was officially confirmed that Pikachu is [[gender|male]], as a female {{p|Togepi}}'s {{m|Attract}} affected him. His physical appearance could not be used as proof, since [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]] were not implemented until after he had debuted in the anime.
** Pikachu's [[gender]] had already been assumed male in the dub, where male pronouns such as "he" were used to refer to Pikachu. To a lesser extent, his gender was also previously implied in the Japanese versions, specifically in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'' (where he used masculine pronouns), ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'' (Pikachu was shown when the narrator said that males had to carry packages), and in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'', where Brock referred to Ash and Pikachu as being "those guys" when touched by their loyalty.
** The first time Pikachu's gender difference was pointed out was in ''[[BW098|Beauties Battling for Pride and Prestige!]]'', where Pikachu was disguised as a female by sticking a heart-shaped piece of paper on his tail.
* Pikachu is the only Pokémon of Ash's to be used in every Gym battle in [[Johto|a region]].
* In {{pmin|Latin America}}, {{wp|Cartoon Network}} has a "Biografía Toon" (''Toon Biography'') segment, which consists of biographies and histories of cartoon characters. This segment has done a two-part feature on Ash's Pikachu. According to the segment, Pikachu is the result of an experiment conducted by {{an|Professor Oak}} and allegedly destroyed the lab where he was created in a momentary loss of control.
* ''[[DP170|An Elite Coverup!]]'' has been the only time when Ash does not use Pikachu against an [[Elite Four]] member.
* Pikachu is the first evolved Pokémon Ash obtained, although, at the time Ash obtained Pikachu, he did not yet have a {{p|Pichu|pre-evolved form}}, and he would not be seen as a Pichu until [[SS001]].
* Pikachu is Ash's only Pokémon capable of evolving by use of an evolutionary stone, not counting {{AP|Snorunt}} who could not evolve through the use of an evolution stone at the time of its capture and normal evolution.
* Pikachu is the first Pokémon in the anime to defeat a Mega Evolved Pokémon without Mega Evolving, defeating [[Korrina]]'s [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} in ''[[XY044|Showdown at the Shalour Gym!]]''.
* As Pikachu hates being in his {{i|Poké Ball}}, it is rarely ever seen, with a known total of only six confirmed appearances throughout the whole series (flashbacks not included). These being in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', ''[[Snow Way Out!]]'', ''[[AG024|A Corphish Out of Water!]]'', ''[[XY020|Breaking Titles at the Chateau!]]'', and ''[[XY079|A Frenzied Factory Fiasco!]]''.
* Pikachu appears as a figure in the [[MC Sixth Generation|sixth generation]] of [[Monster Collection]].
* Pikachu was the first Pokémon belonging to a main character to activate their [[Ability]] in the anime.
** Pikachu was also the first Pokémon belonging to a main character to [[Gigantamax]] in the anime.
** Additionally, Pikachu is the first Pokémon in the anime to have both used Z-Moves and Dynamaxed.
