A '''game cartridge''', also simply referred to as a '''cartridge''' or '''cart''', is a device in which many licenses to [[Pokémon games]] have been distributed. As of the [[Nintendo Switch 2]], three different types of game cards exist: ROM cartridges (officially known as "Game Paks" or "game cards", depending on the system), Game-Key Cards, and Virtual Game Cards.

==Types of game cartridges==
===ROM cartridge===
A '''ROM cartridge''' is the most ubiquitous type of game card that most Pokémon games have been distributed throughout history. They generally contain all the game data, however since the release of the [[Nintendo 3DS]], it has been possible for game developers to issue patches to games which occasionally require additional downloads onto the console's physical memory.

Throughout the Pokémon game series, all of the [[core series]] games have been stored on ROM cartridges, with many variances between them. Many [[Spin-off Pokémon games|side games]] have also been on cartridge but some have been for the [[GameCube]] and [[Wii]] (on discs, not cartridges). The ROM cartridges for the [[Game Boy]], [[Game Boy Color]], [[Game Boy Advance]], and [[Nintendo 64]] are officially called '''Game Paks''', while [[Nintendo DS]], [[Nintendo 3DS]], [[Nintendo Switch]], and [[Nintendo Switch 2]] ROM cartridges are officially called '''game cards''' (sometimes formatted as "Game Card").

===Game-Key Card===
A '''Game-Key Card''' is a physical medium introduced alongside the [[Nintendo Switch 2]] that looks identical to a regular game card. However, Game-Key Cards are distinguished with a Key icon in the top right of the card. Unlike regular Game Cards, they do not contain any game data and rather just hold a game activation key. When a Game-Key Card is inserted for the first time on a console, users are required to download the game to either the System Memory or a MicroSD Express card, once it is installed, the game will then behave like a standard Game Card game. While it may be installed like a digital game, the Game-Key Card is required to be inserted into the console after the game has been downloaded to enable the user to play the title. While Game-Key Cards can have benefits as games downloaded on a console's System Memory or an MicroSD Express card benefiting from faster load times compared to a Game Card, the introduction of Game-Key Cards has been controversial because they have completely replaced traditional ROM cartridges for the said titles and require the user to ensure they have the space to run the game as well as an internet connection to download the game, with some users arguing that making them download the Game Card's contents gives them the sense of a lack of ownership.

{{g|Pokopia}} was the first Pokémon game to use a Game-Key Card. It was also the first Nintendo-published game announced to use this type of Game Card.

===Virtual Game Card===
[[file:Virtual Game Card Frame.png|100px|thumb|The frame placed around virtual Game Cards]]
A '''Virtual Game Card''' is the only type of Game Card which does not exist as a physical medium, and rather represents a digital license. It is possible to lend Virtual Game Cards for periods of up to 14 days, however this functionality requires both the receiver and the sender of the Game Card to be in the same Nintendo Account Family Group. Virtual Game Cards also allow for seamless license switching between consoles that share the same Nintendo Account. Unlike physical or Game-Key Cards, it is not possible to sell or trade Virtual Game Cards away to other players, as they are permanently tied to the Nintendo Account that purchased it.

Game move errors

Pinsplash:

{{missing image|needs=missing some game images}}
In the {{pkmn|games}}, there will occasionally be a Pokémon that knows a '''move it cannot know''', commonly referred to as an [[Appendix: Fan terminology#Illegal|illegal move]], when owned by the player. It is unknown whether most of these are actual oversights on the part of the developers.

| In the Japanese version of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen only, the layout of Trainer Tower can be customized by scanning e-Reader cards. The Pokemon used by each trainer are partly determined by the order in which the e-Cards are scanned. If Cool Couple Carl & Nia appear on the first or seventh floor of Trainer Tower, they will use a Muk which knows Shadow Ball, a move it cannot learn until [[Generation IV]]. It was likely intended to be {{m|Shadow Punch}}, a move Muk can learn.

| In the Japanese version of Pokémon Emerald only, the layout of Trainer Hill can be customized by scanning e-Reader cards.
This Trainer and their Mawile will appear if and only if exactly seven such cards have been scanned, regardless of which cards they are, so that an eighth default Trainer needs to be added to fill out the roster with two Trainers per floor.

These erroneous Drilbur otherwise function like other Drilbur, and can evolve into {{p|Excadrill}} with Hydro Pump. Additionally, while [[Dynamax]]ed, these Drilbur and Excadrill also have access to {{m|Max Geyser}}, which is typically unobtainable as neither can legitimately learn any {{t|Water}}-type attacks.

Galarian Farfetch'd or Sirfetch'd in Pokémon HOME, Sword, or Shield with illegal moves had their moves replaced with moves from their level-up movepool on November 16, 2020, opening Pokémon HOME at any point between that date, and the release of HOME v3.0.0 would cause HOME to search all Sword and Shield savefiles on the console and correct the illegal movesets.

====Moves known at an early level====
Breedable, gendered Pokémon can learn a level-up move by {{pkmn|breeding}} if both parents know it.

Because the [[Move Reminder]] allows moves to be taught at any level in [[Generation VII]], all Pokémon can know any of their Generation VII level-up moves at any level. Unless explicitly mentioned otherwise, all examples from Generation VI or earlier are legal at any level in Generation VII.

| data-sort-value=GEN8.1 | [[Pokémon HOME]] '''(After transferring from Pokémon GO)'''
[[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] '''(Can be imported to Pokémon Sword and Shield)'''
| Alolan Vulpix and Ninetales transferred from Pokémon GO to Pokémon HOME from November 11 to November 16, 2020, erroneously use the level-up learnset of their Kantonian counterparts from [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], allowing them to learn the normally unavailable move Quick Attack. Alolan Vulpix and Ninetales in Pokémon HOME, Sword, or Shield with illegal moves had their moves replaced with moves from their level-up movepool on November 16, 2020, opening Pokémon HOME at any point after that date will cause HOME to search all Sword and Shield savefiles on the console and correct the illegal movesets.

Players who transferred an Alolan Vulpix or Ninetales with Quick Attack cannot trade or battle online with it unless that move is deleted. These erroneous Alolan Vulpix and Ninetales otherwise function like other Alolan Vulpix and Ninetales, with Alolan Vulpix from GO being able to evolve into an Alolan Ninetales.

Alolan Vulpix and Ninetales were unable to learn Quick Attack until the release of [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], where both learn the move starting at level 5, however they cannot exit Legends: Arceus and retain that move, as Pokémon HOME stores unique movesets for each compatible game. If deposited into {{g|Sword and Shield}}, it would gain four moves from its level-up movepool in Sword and Shield, losing access to Quick Attack.

| In 5★ [[Tera Raid Battle]]s, female Indeedee has an identical moveset to its male counterpart, which erroneously included the move Trick Room, a move it could not normally learn. When caught, female Indeedee with Trick Room were permitted to be [[trade]]d online, and participate in the [[Battle Stadium]].

Additionally, while Female Indeedee 5★ raids were initially impossible to host online to other players (displaying an error message when attempting to join them), as of early December 2022 they began permitting other players to host them freely with Trick Room still present in the moveset, despite it still being an error move at the time.

This is currently the only instance of an error move obtainable by the player where the error was corrected by the developers simply allowing it, and eventually integrating it as a feature. As of v2.0.1 of Scarlet and Violet, instead of correcting the erroneous move, [[Game Freak]] instead patched the game to add Trick Room to Female Indeedee's [[TM]] learnset, effectively rendering it no longer an "error move". However, if the move is forgotten, it can not be relearned without using a TM.

====Unobtainable combinations of moves====
Breedable Pokémon in the {{egg3|Field}} that can be female can know any combination of [[Egg Move]]s, since those can be passed down with {{p|Smeargle}}. This also applies to {{p|Nidoran♂}}, as its female counterpart, {{p|Nidoran♀}}, can produce Nidoran♂ Eggs.

Due to mothers being able to pass down [[Egg Moves]] from [[Generation VI]] onward, all Egg Move combinations are possible from Generation VI onward.

====Moves known at an early level====
Breedable, gendered Pokémon can learn a level-up move by {{pkmn|breeding}} if both parents know it.

Because the [[Move Reminder]] allows moves to be taught at any level in [[Generation VII]], all Pokémon can know any of their Generation VII level-up moves at any level. Unless explicitly mentioned otherwise, all examples from Generation VI or earlier are legal at any level in Generation VII.

While Machop can know both of these moves simultaneously if it is taught Counter as a [[TM]] in Generation I and transferred forward to Generation II to learn Vital Throw at level 31, this combination is impossible at level 5 because the only way Machop would be able to know Vital Throw at level 5 is by breeding, and Generation II moves cannot be traded back to Generation I for it to then learn Counter by TM.

Due to Machop being able to learn Counter as an [[Egg Move]] in Generation III and from the [[Move Tutor]] for Counter in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, and Machop maintaining Vital Throw as a level-up move, this combination is possible at level 5 from Generation III onward.

===Pokémon GO===
In [[Pokémon GO]], several Pokémon may learn moves that they cannot learn in the core series games. While it is possible to transfer some Pokémon from Pokémon GO to [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], their moves are not transferred.

As part of the August 19, 2016 server update, all moves of that type were removed from their respective Pokémon's move pools. However, later updates introduced additional cases where Pokémon can have moves that they cannot know in the core series games.

The following table lists moves that have been removed from the Pokémon's permanent move pools. Unlike most other legacy moves, and with the exception of {{m|Stomp}} for {{p|Hitmonlee}}, these moves cannot be learned using an [[Elite Fast TM]] or [[Elite Charged TM]].

Due to the mechanics behind {{OBP|Shadow Pokémon|GO}}, the listed Pokémon will have {{m|Frustration}} as their Charged Attack as Shadow Pokémon and {{m|Return}} as their Charged Attack once purified, but these cannot learn either of these moves in the core series games.

As Frustration and Return have been traditionally moves that are available to all [[TM]]-compatible Pokémon and were TMs from Generation II to VII, all of the following Pokémon are either [[TM#Incompatible Pokémon|Pokémon that are incompatible with TMs]] in the core series games, or did not exist prior to [[Generation VIII]].

'''Fuchsia City''' (Japanese: '''セキチクシティ''' ''Sekichiku City'') is a city located in southwest [[Kanto]]. Its most distinguishing features are the {{safari|Kanto}} in the [[Generation]] {{Gen|I}} and {{Gen|III}} games and the {{type|Poison}} [[Gym]]. [[Koga]] is the Fuchsia City [[Gym Leader]] until his daughter [[Janine]] takes over in the [[Generation II]] and {{gen|IV}} games.

{{rt|15|Kanto}} leads into the city from the east, {{rt|18|Kanto}} from the west, and the beach of {{rt|19|Kanto}} is in the south.

[[Bill's grandfather]] lives in Fuchsia City.

In Generation II, the {{safari|Kanto}} is closed down. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, [[Pal Park]] replaces the closed-down Safari Zone. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the zoo in the city is referred to as the Safari Zone, while the former Safari Zone's location is now occupied by [[GO Park]].

==Slogan==

===Safari Zone===
{{main|Kanto Safari Zone}}
The Safari Zone is a special {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} preserve where {{pkmn|Trainer}}s can enter to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} certain types of Pokémon. It is owned by the [[Baoba|Warden]].

For {{PDollar}}500, the {{player}} will receive 30 [[Safari Ball]]s. With a large area to cover, Trainers must plan out their destination so as to arrive in time to capture all the Pokémon they want.

When a [[wild Pokémon]] appears, no Pokémon may be sent out to battle it: catching Pokémon here, as in all Safari Zones, requires sheer luck. There are four options in the battle screen: throw a Safari Ball, throw Bait, throw a Rock, and run away. Throwing Bait makes a Pokémon less likely to run, but makes it harder to catch; while throwing a Rock does the reverse, making it easier to catch but more likely to run.

During [[Generation I|Generations I]] and {{gen|III}}, however, a sweepstakes is taking place to find a hidden house deep in the Safari Zone, called the Secret House. The winner of the sweepstakes receives {{HM|03|Surf}}. During [[Generation II|Generations II]] and {{gen|IV}}, the Safari Zone is not open. In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} only, the Kanto [[Pal Park]] takes its place.

During [[Generation VII]], the regular catching mechanics of [[Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] is similar to the Safari Game, with different types of [[Berry]] being thrown to make catching instead of weakening wild Pokémon in battle. The Safari Zone now refers to the former [[#Pokémon Zoo|Pokémon Zoo]] in the front, and the [[GO Park]] out back.

===Safari Zone Warden===
{{main|Baoba}}
[[File:Safari Zone Warden.png|thumb|left|200px|Safari Zone Warden unable to speak clearly]]
Safari Zone Warden [[Baoba]] is the man in charge of the [[Kanto Safari Zone]]. His house is located on the southeastern side of the city. He lives in a cottage next to the [[Pokémon Center]]. The locals of Fuchsia nicknamed the Warden "Slowpoke" because he has a vacant look similar to that seen on a {{p|Slowpoke}}. He's actually very knowledgeable about Pokémon, which should only be natural as taking care of the Safari Zone {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} is part of his job. He has a collection of rare Pokémon [[Fossil]]s. He has recently lost his [[Gold Teeth|false teeth]] in the Safari Zone{{sup/1}}{{sup/3|FRLG}} or on {{rt|19|Kanto}}{{sup/7|PE}} and has become unable to speak clearly. If the player character returns his teeth to him, he'll give them {{HM|04|Strength}},{{sup/1}}{{sup/3|FRLG}} or he will teach their {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}} the [[Secret Technique]] Strong Push and will give both the player and their Partner Pokémon the {{DL|List of clothing in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Safari Set}}.{{sup/7|PE}} In [[Generation I|Generations I]] to {{gen|IV}}, [[wild Pokémon]] appear in the city in a pond behind the Warden's house.

He also runs a promotion in the Safari Zone. Pokémon Trainers who find the Secret House on the grounds are given {{HM|03|Surf}}.{{sup/1}}{{sup/3|FRLG}} As {{LGPE}} do not have the original version of the Safari Zone, the Secret House, or HMs, the games' rough equivalent of Surf, the [[Secret Technique]] Sea Skim, is taught to the player's Partner Pokémon by another NPC in Fuchsia City. It's probable that Baoba is friends with [[Koga]], as the [[Gym Leader]] patrols the grounds of the Safari Zone to keep things safe. In {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, Koga's daughter, [[Janine]], can also be found just outside of the Safari Zone after the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]].

In [[Generation II]], the Warden has left on a trip, so the Safari Zone has been shut down and most of the exclusive Pokémon have been moved to adjacent Routes. As there is a [[GO Park]] in place of the original Safari Zone in Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, The once-exclusive Pokémon are also moved there in the Generation VII games, with {{p|Tauros}}, {{p|Chansey}}, {{p|Scyther}},{{sup/7|P}} and {{p|Pinsir}}{{sup/7|E}} now being obtainable on {{rt|15|Kanto}}. In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, however, the park's closing led to the opening of a [[Pal Park]]. It's also in these games that the Warden's name is revealed to be Baoba. Wishing to maintain the Safari Game, Baoba opens {{safari|Johto|another Safari Zone}} in [[Johto]].

===Move Deleter===
[[File:Move Deleter FRLG.png|thumb|200px|Move Deleter]]
In [[Generation III]], a [[Move Deleter]] resides in the house next to the Fuchsia City's [[Pokémon Center]]. The Move Deleter is a very forgetful man who lives alone. For no charge, he will make a Pokémon forget a [[move]] that it knows, provided that the move is not the only move which that Pokémon knows. He is the only way for a Pokémon to forget [[HM]] moves such as {{m|Cut}} or {{m|Fly}}. This house cannot be accessed in [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}}, {{gen|II}}, or {{gen|IV}}. In [[Generation VII]], the house is still accessible, now the residence of a young couple who inform the player that the Move Deleter "Mr. Dazzling" has moved away to the former home of the younger [[Fishing Brothers|Fishing Brother]] on {{rt|12|Kanto}}. As neither HMs nor the [[Super Rod]] are in Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, he now gives the player {{TM|32|Dazzling Gleam}}.

===Pokémon Zoo===
In Generations I and III, a Pokémon zoo is located in Fuchsia City, just outside the Safari Zone. However, it is closed, like the Safari Zone, in Generations II and IV. There are Pokémon on display, including {{p|Chansey}}, {{p|Lapras}}, {{p|Voltorb}}, {{p|Kangaskhan}}, and {{p|Slowpoke}}. In addition, the [[Fossil]] that the player "shares" with the {{tc|Super Nerd}} in [[Mt. Moon]] appears here as well. It will be a {{p|Kabuto}} if the player chose the [[Helix Fossil]], and an {{p|Omanyte}} if the player chose the [[Dome Fossil]]. In [[Generation VII]], it is the front area of the Safari Zone, also known as the Playful Park. Chansey, Lapras, Voltorb, Kangaskhan, Slowpoke, and either Kabuto or Omanyte are still in this part of the city outside of the GO Park but now roam freely instead of being on display in enclosures.

===Berries===
In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, a {{tc|Juggler}} that is found near [[Pal Park]] will hand out three different types of [[Berry|Berries]] each time a [[shard]] is traded. The types of Berries given to the {{player}} depend on the shard's color. He won't give any of the Berries in a set if the player has no space for one of the Berries in that set. There is another Juggler that will trade a shard for Berries in [[Violet City]].

===Move Tutor===
In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, near the {{p|Kangaskhan}} exhibit, there is a {{tc|Bug Catcher}} who teaches the move {{m|Substitute}}.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], a Trainer in the [[Pokémon Center]] will teach the player's {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}} [[signature moves|exclusive moves]].

===Fuchsia Gym===

{{main|Fuchsia Gym}}
The Fuchsia Gym is the official [[Gym]] of Fuchsia City. It is based on {{type|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. In [[Generation I|Generations I]], {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}}, the [[Gym Leader]] is [[Koga]]. However, by [[Generation II|Generations II]] and {{gen|IV}}, the Gym Leader's duties have been taken up by Koga's daughter, [[Janine]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who are victorious at this Gym receive the {{Badge|Soul}}.

The Gym contains a maze made of invisible walls. Under Janine's rule, an additional layer of challenge is added by having all the Gym Trainers be disguised as the Gym Leader until talked to.

==Walking Pokémon effects==
When interacting with [[walking Pokémon]] in {{v2|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the Pokémon may occasionally show an altered mood specific to this location.

==Differences among generations==
Three years from [[Generation I]] and {{Gen|III}} to [[Generation II]] and {{Gen|IV}}, the city has changed quite dramatically. The Pokémon Zoo has closed down, transforming the northern half of the city into a grassy plain, only accessible by the use of {{m|Cut}}. There is also a small area in the northwestern part of the city, that contains a [[Burnt Berry]]. The southeasternmost house can no longer be entered, and a gap in the fence is added to let the player access the pond behind it.

In [[Generation II]], Warden Slowpoke has left on a trip, so the Safari Zone has been shut down and most of the exclusive Pokémon have been moved to adjacent routes. In Generation IV, the Safari Zone is replaced with Pal Park instead, with a replacement Safari Zone now {{safari|Johto|found in Johto}}.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Pinball===
In {{g|Pinball}}, Fuchsia City ([[List of typos|misspelled]] Fuchia) appears on the Blue table; catchable {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} include {{p|Venonat}}, {{p|Exeggcute}}, {{p|Kangaskhan}}, {{p|Goldeen}} and {{p|Magikarp}}.

===Pokémon Pokopia===
In {{g|Pokopia}}, [[Withered Wasteland]] is based on Fuchsia City and the surrounding area. The region has suffered a longstanding drought, leaving most of the land barren and lifeless. {{poko|Ditto}} first appears and meets [[Professor Tangrowth]] here. Increasing the area's humidity level enough causes {{p|Kyogre}} to appear here from the sea.

==In animation==
[[File:Fuchsia City anime 2.png|thumb|right|220px|Fuchsia City in {{aniseries|RS}}]]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|OS}}====
Even though {{Ash}} won the {{badge|Soul}} at the [[Fuchsia Gym]] in ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]'', the Gym was located outside of Fuchsia City, thus resulting in the city itself not being visited at the time.

A [[Nurse Joy]] that entered the [[Pokémon League Admissions Exam]] in ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'' was from Fuchsia City.

===={{aniseries|RS}}====
The [[Battle Pike]] is also located near Fuchsia City.

Fuchsia City itself made its proper debut in ''[[AG157|Time Warp Heals All Wounds]]'', where it was depicted as a deserted, dark-looking place. When her {{TP|May|Squirtle}} wandered off, {{an|May}} chased it to an abandoned railway station. There she discovered an old woman named [[Edna]], who told her that she was waiting for her husband, {{OBP|Jonathan|AG157}}, to return, even though the trains didn't use the station anymore.

From Edna's granddaughter {{OBP|Katrina|AG157}}, May heard that Edna and Jonathan had once operated a [[Pokémon breeding]] Center in Fuchsia City, until Jonathan had suggested that they leave for a while so he could study to become a doctor. Edna, however, had been unwilling to leave her hometown, so Jonathan left for the train station by himself, leaving behind a letter telling of his decision. After reading the letter, Edna had rushed to the station, intending to convince Jonathan to stay, for she, unbeknownst by Jonathan, was carrying a child. Unfortunately, she bumped into a {{tc|Gentleman}} on the way, preventing her from reaching Jonathan in time. Even though she got a letter a year later telling her that Jonathan had died in an accident, she still came to the station every day to wait for his return, refusing to believe that her husband was gone.

Soon after, May, Squirtle, and {{MTR}} found the pendant Edna had lost back when Jonathan had left. Suddenly the pendant started to glow, and May, Squirtle, and Meowth unexpectedly found themselves in the past, back at the day when Jonathan had left Edna. Not wanting the lovers to lose each other, May used her Squirtle's {{m|Ice Beam}} to change the falling rain into a snowfall, delaying the train's departure long enough for Edna to reach Jonathan in time and convince him to stay. Just then, the pendant started to glow again, and May, Squirtle, and Meowth were returned to the present, where their actions in the past had had dramatic results: Fuchsia City was no longer deserted and dark, but lively and full of light, with even the train station still being in use. Just then, Ash, {{an|Brock}}, and [[Max]] arrived, telling May that her {{pkmn|Egg}} was about to hatch. When she went with the others to see her Egg at the Pokémon Center, she was surprised to see Edna, Jonathan, and Katrina, who were now working together as Pokémon {{wp|pediatrics|pediatricians}}. Due to the past having been changed, neither Edna or Katrina remembered May, and due to May, Squirtle, and Meowth being the only ones having [[Time travel|traveled through time]], they were the only ones aware of the alternate present.

Later at that night, after May's Egg hatched into an {{TP|May|Eevee}}, Ash, his friends, Edna, Jonathan, and Katrina witnessed the "Lights of Joy", where {{p|Volbeat}} and {{p|Illumise}} danced around a tree in the middle of the city, something that the alternate present had lacked.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
In ''[[JN021|Caring for a Mystery!]]'', Ash battled and defeated [[Hayden]], a Trainer from Fuchsia City, in a [[World Coronation Series]] match.

===Pokémon Origins===
Although Fuchsia City didn't make a proper appearance in [[Pokémon Origins]], {{OBP|Red|Origins}} did visit it briefly in ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]'', where he defeated Koga and earned the Soul Badge, and in ''[[PO04|File 4: Charizard]]'', where he was seen visiting the {{safari|Kanto}} and catching a {{p|Chansey}} in there.

==In the manga==
[[File:Fuchsia City Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Fuchsia City in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
[[File:Fuchsia City PM.png|thumb|150px|Fuchsia City in [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
Fuchsia City first appeared ''[[PS021|Long Live the Nidoking!]]'' and ''[[PS022|A Hollow Victreebel]]'', where {{adv|Red}} visited the {{safari|Kanto}}. His actions during the guided tour around the place caused him to get lost and nearly get killed by the [[wild Pokémon]], but eventually he managed to survive his experience, catching a ton of Pokémon along the way.

===={{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen}}====
Fuchsia City made a cameo in ''[[PS298|Start the Countdown, Starmie]]'', where [[Baoba]] and one of his [[Pidgebot]]s witnessed the stalling [[Team Rocket airship]] passing over the city.
{{left clear}}

===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
Fuchsia City appeared in ''[[PM015|Save the Chansey!!]]'', where {{PPM|Red}} and {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} tried to save a group of {{p|Chansey}} from a Chansey Torturer hired by Koga.

===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
{{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}} and {{an|Brock}} traveled to Fuchsia City in ''[[ET05|The Human Race and the Pokémon Race]]'', arriving there during the [[Nomads Independence Day]] festival, where they reunited with {{an|Misty}}. During the group's stay in the city, Ash participated in the [[Fuchsia Free-For-All Race]] on behalf of [[Lara Laramie]].

===Pokémon Zensho===
Fuchsia City appeared in [[PZ06]]. Soon after arriving in the city, {{zensho|Satoshi}} learned that the {{safari|Kanto}} [[Baoba|Warden]] had lost [[Gold Teeth|his dentures]] and agreed to help find them. After successfully finding the dentures and defeating [[Gym Leader]] [[Koga]] at the Safari Zone, Satoshi returned the dentures to the Warden as promised.

In this [[canon]], Fuchsia City used to be a ninja village, until the Safari Zone was built, although the Warden, being childhood friends with Koga, made sure to not get rid of the original Pokémon living in the area.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, after the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]], [[Janine]] can be found behind the zoo saying that she is training to become the [[Gym Leader]]. Her name in the [[Fame Checker]] is erroneously listed as "Charine" in the English versions.
* Starting in {{game|Yellow}}, wild {{p|Gyarados}} can be caught by fishing in the lake next to the Warden's house. This may be a reference to [[EP035]], where {{an|Misty}} fishes up a {{p|Gyarados}} in the {{safari|Kanto}}.
* Fuchsia City did not appear in {{aniseries|PTS}} until ''[[AG157|Time Warp Heals All Wounds]]'' in the Battle Frontier saga, despite the Gym appearing in {{aniseries|OS}}, making it the only [[Kanto]] settlement to not appear during the original series.
* In Generation II, this city shares its music with [[Celadon City]] instead of with [[Cerulean City]] like in all other games.
* In Generation II, the [[Pokémon Center lady]] has green hair instead of red.
* In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], two [[Master Trainer]]s found here share each other's names, although in different languages.

'''Violet City''' (Japanese: '''キキョウシティ''' ''Kikyō City'') is located in central [[Johto]]. It is the third city encountered in Johto by the {{player}}. [[Pokémon Trainer]]s often come to Violet City in order to win the {{badge|Zephyr}} from [[Falkner]], the Violet [[Gym Leader]], who specializes in {{type|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The city has three entrances, one from the east via {{rt|31|Johto}}, one from the south via {{rt|32|Johto}}, and one from the west via {{rt|36|Johto}}.

==Slogan==
'''''The City of Nostalgic Scents''''' (Japanese, Generation II: '''なつかしい　かおりのする　まち''' ''The city of nostalgic scents.''; Generation IV: '''なつかしい　かおりの　まち''' ''The city of nostalgic scents.'')

==Places of interest==
===Pokémon School===
Located in the center of the town is the [[Pokémon academy|Pokémon School]] (Japanese: ポケモンじゅく ''Pokémon {{wp|Juku}}''), where prospective Trainers learn how to raise Pokémon. On the blackboard are descriptions of the various [[status condition]]s which can affect Pokémon.

The Pokémon School is also a place where students and {{pkmn|Trainer}}s can learn more about {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Most beginning Trainers visit at least one of them, and common Trainers classes found studying at these locations are {{tc|Lass}}es, {{tc|School Kid}}s, and {{tc|Scientist}}s.

It is run by [[Earl Dervish]], who at first is located next to the [[Gym]], but will show the {{player}} where the Pokémon School is located while he twirls around at every turn along the way.

In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, it is known as Earl's Pokémon Academy (Japanese: ジョバンニせんせいのポケモンじゅく ''Prof. Giovanni's Pokémon {{wp|Juku}}'').

===Sprout Tower===
[[File:Sprout Tower HGSS.png|thumb|right|The Sprout Tower in HeartGold and SoulSilver]]
{{main|Sprout Tower}}
The large tower in the northern part of the town is a tall and wobbling pagoda, run by {{tc|Sage}}s who train {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, all the while teaching people that all living beings coexist through cooperation. These monks mostly train {{p|Bellsprout}}, although occasionally use {{p|Hoothoot}}. As {{pkmn|Trainer}}s battle, the flexible pagoda shakes from side to side; this flexibility protects the tall tower from earthquakes. This technology is now known as ''{{jwp|柔構造|jūkōzō}}'', and is applied to hundreds of modern high-rise buildings. Many people believe that a hundred-foot Bellsprout was used to make the swaying pillar.

In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, after the player defeats [[Li]], they will receive {{HM|05|Flash}}, while in Generation IV they will instead receive {{TM|70|Flash}}. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the player must defeat Li in order to challenge the Violet Gym. {{p|Rattata}} can be found in the tower, as can {{p|Gastly}} at [[Time|night]].

===Violet Gym===
[[File:Violet Gym HGSS.png|thumb|right|200px|The Violet Gym in HeartGold and SoulSilver]]
{{main|Violet Gym}}
The Violet Gym is the official [[Gym]] of Violet City. It is based on {{type|Flying}} Pokémon. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Falkner]]. Trainers who defeat him receive the {{Badge|Zephyr}}. In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, the Gym structure was very basic. The path is held on a raised platform, with a large drop to either side of the path. The path creates an "S" shape as it winds around toward the Gym Leader. At the tips of the "S" there are two Trainers that are both unavoidable. After Falkner is defeated, he will give the player the Zephyr Badge, {{TM|31|Mud-Slap}}, and the ability to use {{m|Flash}} outside of battle.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the Gym appears to be redesigned as to another perspective. Trainers will start on plain ground other than a raised floor, along with a wooden platform that will lift Trainers up to the upper level, where a structure similar to the previous generation awaits. A Trainer waits at each end of the "S", but unlike in Gold, Silver, and Crystal, both Trainers can be avoided by walking on the glass tiles that encircle the field. After Falkner is defeated, he will give the player the Zephyr Badge, {{TM|51|Roost}}, and the ability to use {{m|Rock Smash}} outside of battle.

===In-game trade===
One of the few [[In-game trade#Generation IV|in-game trades]] can be found in Violet City. In a southwestern house lives a {{pkmn|Trainer}} named Rudy (Japanese: コンタ ''Konta''), called Kyle in the English releases of {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, who is willing to give up his {{p|Onix}}, nicknamed Rocky (Japanese: ブルブル ''Buruburu''), in exchange for a {{p|Bellsprout}}. This Onix will be holding a [[Bitter Berry]]{{sup/2|GSC}} or [[Persim Berry]]{{sup/4|HGSS}}.

===Berries===
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, a {{tc|Juggler}} found near the [[Pokémon Center]] will hand out three different types of Berries each time he gets one [[Shard]] from the player. The types of Berries given to the player depend on the shard's color. He won't give any of the Berries in a set if the player has no space for one of the Berries in that set. There is another Juggler that will trade a shard for Berries in [[Fuchsia City]].

===Primo===
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, a man named [[Primo]] appears in the [[Pokémon Center]] and introduces himself as the host of the [[Teachy TV]] program from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. He will offer the player the chance to [[easy chat system|give their opinion on him]] as he is apparently a celebrity. If the [{{canonicalurl:de:Spezial:Geheimcode-Generator|uselang=en}} right combination of phrases] is selected, the player can receive secret {{DL|Pokémon Storage System|wallpaper}}s or [[Pokémon Egg]]s.

==Demographics==
===Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal===
Violet City in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} has a population of 41.

===Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver===
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Violet City's population is 52, making it the second-largest city in [[Johto]]. However, it is dwarfed in comparison to Johto's largest, [[Goldenrod City]]. Goldenrod has approximately double Violet City's population.

==In animation==
[[File:Violet City anime.png|thumb|250px|Violet City in {{aniseries|GS}}]]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|GS}}====
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} first entered Violet City in ''[[EP130|A Bout With Sprout]]''. While walking through its suburban outskirts, two children took a particular liking to {{AP|Pikachu}}. After {{an|Brock}} volunteered the group, they spent the day at [[Earl Dervish]]'s [[Pokémon academy|Pokémon School]] teaching the children about Pokémon. They later joined [[Miss Priscilla]] and her class for an excursion to the [[Sprout Tower]] and stopped {{TRT}}'s plan of sending the tower into orbit. In ''[[EP131|Fighting Flyer with Fire]]'', Ash challenged [[Falkner]] at the [[Violet Gym]] and defeated him, earning his first [[Johto]] [[Badge]].

In ''[[EP133|Tanks a Lot!]]'', Team Rocket inadvertently did some good after their [[Team Rocket's mechas|Arbotank]], controlled by [[Misty's Togepi]] and a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Sentret}}, drilled a tunnel through a mountain, helping to halve the travel time between Violet City and a nearby mountain town.

===={{aniseries|RS}}====
In ''[[AG184|Strategy Tomorrow - Comedy Tonight!]]'', Ash and his friends met {{OBP|Ada|AG184}}, a traveling comedian, on her way to the Comedy Grand Prix in Violet City with her {{p|Chatot}}.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Violet City Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Violet City in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}====
Violet City first appeared in ''[[PS096|Number One Donphan]]'', where {{adv|Gold}} rescued [[Earl Dervish]]'s package from a group of rampaging {{p|Donphan}}. In ''[[PS097|Bellsprout Rout]]'' and ''[[PS098|Totodile Rock]]'', Gold confronted {{adv|Silver}} at [[Sprout Tower]], while in ''[[PS099|Sunkern Treasure]]'', he assisted [[Falkner]] in {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} a {{p|Skarmory}}, also catching himself a {{p|Sunkern}} in the process.

In ''[[PS105|Smeargle Smudge]]'', the [[Pokémon Association]] appointed Falkner as the new [[Gym Leader]] of the [[Violet Gym]] after {{adv|Walker|his father}}, the previous Violet Gym Leader, had disappeared and left the post.

In ''[[PS117|Slugging It Out with Slugma]]'', [[Pokémon academy|Earl's Pokémon Academy]] was attacked by a group of {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Slugma}}, but {{adv|Crystal}}, who was working at the academy as a helper, dealt with them and caught them with ease. Witnessing this, {{adv|Professor Oak}} invited her to help him in completing the [[Pokédex]]. In exchange, Professor Oak funded the renovation of the dilapidated academy building.

In ''[[PS119|A Flaaffy Kerfuffle]]'', Crystal stopped by at the Violet City [[Pokémon Center]] to drop off some of her Pokémon, only to learn that the [[Pokémon Storage System]] was currently out of order. In ''[[PS120|Surrounded by Staryu]]'', she saved {{adv|Bill}} from a herd of {{p|Staryu}} in an amusement park in Violet City by catching them and received [[Mobile Game Boy Adapter|a portable Pokémon transporter]] from him, allowing her to send any Pokémon she caught to Professor Oak without using the Pokémon Storage System.

In ''[[PS137|Really Raikou & Entirely Entei (Part 1)]]'' and ''[[PS138|(Part 2)]]'', Falkner fought against the {{adv|Legendary beasts}} in the outskirts of Violet City, but was unable to defeat and catch them due to their teamwork.

===={{MangaArc|Emerald}}====
In a flashback in ''[[PS331|The Final Battle IV]]'', the [[Trick Master]] sent the orphaned {{adv|Emerald}} to Earl's Pokémon Academy, where he witnessed Crystal saving the place from a Slugma horde, causing him to start admiring her. While he was bummed out that Crystal left the academy as soon as he properly entered it, his admiration grew into deep respect when Crystal's work as Professor Oak's {{TP|Professor|assistant}} allowed the academy to be renovated.

===Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys===
Violet City first appeared in ''[[GB02|Falkner The Bird Keeper's Challenge!!]]'', when {{GnB|Gold}} arrived there to challenge [[Falkner]]. In ''[[GB03|The Legendary Pokémon Appears!]]'', just after Gold had defeated Falkner's {{p|Pidgeot}}, the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Articuno}} appeared and joined the battle on Falkner's side. Soon afterwards, a {{TP|Gold|Pikachu}} fell out of a [[Time Capsule|time tunnel]] and joined Gold. Although Gold was unable to beat Articuno, it eventually chose to leave the battle, which Falkner saw as a sign of it admitting defeat, so he handed Gold a {{badge|Zephyr}} as a reward.

In ''[[GB04|Let's Aim For The Goal!]]'', Gold met [[Mr. Pokémon]] and [[Professor Oak]], the latter of whom gave him a [[Pokédex]] before he headed for [[Azalea Town]].

Pinsplash: /* What happened to Hitmonchan's Gen VIII machine-based learnset? */

==Level 21==
Shouldn't it be {{m|Feint}} that Hitmonchan learns at Level 21, and not Me First? That's the Level 25 learnmove for {{p|Hitmonlee}}. My Tyrogue just evolved to 'Chan at Lvl 21 and it learned Feint.
[[User:H4r8z0r|H4r8z0r]] 00:22, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
:Yes. Hitmonlee doesn't learn Me First either though. — [[User:Laoris|Laoris]] ([[User_Talk:Laoris|Blah]]) 00:34, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

==Another Origin==
Couldnt Hitmanchan and evolutionary line come from Hit man? [[User:Atomix26|Atomix26]] 01:00, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
:Well as it's Hit''mon''whatever, maybe not. It definitely seems to come from monster. — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 06:21, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
:I know this question is outdated.But i too have a suggestion -Chan is usally added to the end of japanese names usally by teens.Just like how "westerners" use words at the end of names like "homie" or "dog",Though this is unlikly but could get a mention.--[[User:Solidstate|Solid!]] 11:45, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

==Minor appearances==
The episode "Pasta la vista" focused mainly on the Ash/Hitmonlee vs May/Hitmonchan battle, so how is that Hitmonchan is a minor character on that episode? Also you all forgot to add that Team Rocket once again interfered in that match. -[[User:Hitmonchan107|Hitmonchan107]] 00:55, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

==Is this worth nothing?==
*The only elemental punch Hitmonchan can't learn is {{m|Shadow Punch}}.
I don't know if it's worth noting, hence the reason why I'm asking. [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] ([[User talk:TheBlazikenMaster|talk]]) 19:42, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
:Well, since nobody replied, that gives me the indication that nobody cares. Well, I'm not gonna put it to the trivia section, because I have a feeling it would be reverted. [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] ([[User talk:TheBlazikenMaster|talk]]) 21:08, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
::Shadow Punch isn't an elemental punch though. Also, {{cat|Punching_moves|looking at the list}} there are a few punching moves Hitmonchan is not able to learn, so it isn't notable.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 02:56, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

==Level 26, Gen II==
Does anyone know how exactly level 26 works for Hitmonchan? When he levels up, does he get a random one of the three punches? Does he learn all three in order? Does he learn the first one you choose, and the others are ignored? ---[[User:AK712|AK712]] ([[User talk:AK712|talk]]) 18:43, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
:It learns all three at the same time.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:15, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

Hey, guys. I'm just wanting to know what happened to Hitmonchan's BDSP machine-based learnset? -[[User:Swampertguy|Swampertguy]] ([[User talk:Swampertguy|talk]]) 21:08, 7 May 2026 (UTC)

'''Hitmonchan''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エビワラー''' ''Ebiwalar'') is a {{type|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Tyrogue}} starting at [[level]] 20 when Tyrogue's {{stat|Defense}} is higher than its {{stat|Attack}}. It is one of {{p|Tyrogue}}'s [[Hitmons|final forms]], the others being {{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Hitmontop}}.

==Biology==
Hitmonchan is a tan, {{wp|humanoid}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that is exclusively male and has no female counterpart. There are five blunt protrusions on top of its head, and it has structures resembling pads over its shoulders. It appears to be wearing a light purple tunic and kilt, as well as red boxing gloves and light purple boxing shoes. The gloves are actually masses of muscle. In between the tunic and kilt is a small, black area.

As its appearance suggests, Hitmonchan specializes in punching. It can throw punches that are too quick to be seen with the naked eye. These punches are said to be as fast as a bullet train. It starts attacking foes with combo punches from both sides before finishing with a single straight punch. A single straight punch by Hitmonchan can launch foes over 300 mph. By punching with a corkscrew motion, it is even capable of drilling through concrete. Even a light graze from its punches will result in a burn. However, Hitmonchan requires a break every three minutes while fighting. Despite the need for frequent breaks, it has an unwavering spirit and will never give up in a difficult situation. Usually found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas}}, it is rarely seen in the wild. It often competes with {{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Hitmontop}}.

In [[Generation II]], {{m|Mach Punch}} was its [[signature move]], but {{p|Tyrogue}} could still inherit it via {{pkmn|breeding}}. Prior to [[Generation V]], {{a|Iron Fist}} was Hitmonchan's [[signature Ability]].

===Evolution===
Hitmonchan evolves from {{p|Tyrogue}}.

==Trivia==
* Hitmonchan and {{p|Hitmonlee}} are the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that were introduced as not being related to each other in an evolutionary line but later became part of the same evolutionary line as each other.
* Hitmonchan is tied with {{p|Hitmontop}} for learning the most increased-[[priority]] [[move]]s by level up, at eight.
* Hitmonchan's [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto]] and [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National]] [[Pokédex]] number, #107, could refer to {{wp|Little Mac (Punch-Out!!)|Little Mac}}, whose weight is 107 pounds (ca. 49 kg).
* Despite the requirement for its [[Evolution]] being a higher {{stat|Defense}} than {{stat|Attack}}, Hitmonchan's Attack stat is much higher than its Defense stat.
* Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee received the biggest increase to their {{stat|Special}} stat in Generation II, gaining 75 points of {{stat|Special Defense}}.
* Hitmonchan's English name was suggested by Bill Giese, who assisted in the naming of many [[Generation I]] Pokémon.<ref name=MonsterKids />

===Origin===
Hitmonchan appears to be based on a {{wp|Boxing|boxer}}. Based on its Japanese name, it may specifically be based on the boxer {{wp|Hiroyuki Ebihara}}. The colors of Hitmonchan's gloves in its normal and {{Shiny}} colorations might be a reference to the red corner and blue corner in boxing. Some of its [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] mention that it needs a short break after fighting for three minutes, which is a reference to the duration of rounds in boxing.

====Name origin====
Hitmonchan is named after {{wp|Jackie Chan}},<ref name=MonsterKids>Dockery, Daniel (October 4, 2022). ''[[Monster Kids: How Pokémon Taught a Generation to Catch Them All]]''. Running Press. p. 33. ISBN 978-0762479504.</ref> and may additionally involve a combination of ''hit'' and ''monster''. The name is also related to {{p|Tyrogue}}'s other Evolutions, {{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Hitmontop}}.

Ebiwalar may be derived from the Japanese world champion boxer {{wp|Hiroyuki Ebihara}}.

Regional form

2026-04-30T04:30:03Z

Pinsplash: /* In the core series games */

[[File:Vulpix anime.png|thumb|300px|[[Kanto]]nian and [[Alola]]n {{p|Vulpix}} in {{aniseries|SM}}]]
A '''regional form''' (Japanese: '''リージョンフォーム'''<ref name="Alolan Ninetales Pokémon Moon">''"regional variant of Ninetales"'' (Japanese: キュウコンの　リージョンフォーム) - Alolan Ninetales entry in Pokémon Moon</ref> ''region form''), also known as a '''regional variant''',<ref name="Alolan Ninetales Pokémon Moon"/> is an alternate [[form]] of a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that is found in a specific [[region]]. These forms differ from those found in other regions, usually even to the point of having a different [[type]]. Some regional forms also have different [[Evolution]]s than their counterparts from other regions.

Four regions are currently known to have their own regional forms:
* [[Alolan form]]s in [[Alola]].
* [[Galarian form]]s in [[Galar]].
* [[Hisuian form]]s in [[Hisui]].
* [[Paldean form]]s in [[Paldea]].

54 Pokémon currently have regional forms, and 57 regional forms currently exist in total (55 and 58, respectively, if White-Striped {{p|Basculin}} is counted as a regional form). Apart from {{p|Meowth}} and {{p|Tauros}}, which have two and three respectively, each Pokémon with a regional form has only one.

==Terminology==
{{main|Terminology of regional forms}}
In [[Generation VII]], they were introduced as '''regional variants''', which is also mentioned in some {{g|GO}} [[Community Day]] events from 2023. From [[Generation VIII]] onwards, they have been consistently known as '''regional forms''' in the core series games.

The place name adjective (such as "Alolan") is used before the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s name. In running text, both the original form and the new regional forms are sometimes treated this way, such as "[[Kanto]]nian {{p|Meowth}}" and "{{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Meowth}}". Conversely, the Pokémon is sometimes simply mentioned in running text without using the regional adjective. For instance, if the player encounters a wild {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Meowth}}, the battle dialogue will simply say "You encountered a wild {{p|Meowth}}!".

In the [[Generation VII]] games, the [[Pokédex]] displays "Alola Form" as the title of this form. From [[Generation VIII]] onwards (including in [[Pokémon HOME]]), the adjectives for the place names are consistently used instead. For instance, "Alolan Form", "Galarian Form", "[[Hisuian Form]]", and "[[Paldean Form]]". The original form (such as Kantonian Meowth) is not named in the Pokédex.

In running text (as seen on [[Pokémon.com]]), the word "form" has been consistently written in lowercase. In the [[Generation VII]] era, "Alola form" was previously used, but from [[Generation VIII]] onwards, this includes "Kantonian form", "Alolan form", "Galarian form", etc.

==In the core series games==
In the [[Alola]], [[Galar]], [[Hisui]], and [[Paldea]] [[region]]s, certain {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} species have regional forms.

Pokémon with regional forms have uniquely adapted to habitats that are different than those where its species naturally live in other parts of the {{pkmn|world}}. As such, many things may be different about them, from their appearance and way of living to even their [[type]](s), [[move]]s, {{Abilities}}, [[base stats]], [[List of Pokémon by height|height]], and [[weight]]. This is analogous to a form of real-world {{wp|evolution}} known as {{wp|peripatric speciation}}, where a population that is isolated from the rest of the species develops unique traits and may eventually evolve into a new species.

When {{pkmn|breeding}} Pokémon whose offspring have a regional form, the child will normally take on the form corresponding to the region in which the {{pkmn|Egg|Egg}} was hatched, regardless of its parents' forms. However, if one of the parents of the same [[evolution]]ary line held an [[Everstone]] when the Egg was produced, the offspring will be the same form as that parent. For this purpose, evolved forms exclusive to a regional form count as a regional form (e.g. a {{p|Perrserker}} egg outside Galar will hatch into [[Kanto]]nian {{p|Meowth}} if it was not holding an Everstone, and a {{rf|Galarian}} Meowth if it was). This does not apply to White-Striped {{p|Basculin}} and {{p|Basculegion}}, which always produce White-Striped Basculin—regardless of region or held Everstones—when they are the mother or non-{{p|Ditto}} parent. If the parents are the same species but different forms and in different [[Poké Ball]]s, then the offspring has a 50% chance of inheriting either parent's Poké Ball regardless of what form the offspring takes.

If a Kantonian {{p|Tauros}} is bred in Paldea and is not holding an Everstone, then the resulting offspring will always be {{form|Paldean Tauros|Combat Breed}} {{rf|Paldean}} Tauros and never the {{form|Paldean Tauros|Blaze Breed}} or {{form|Paldean Tauros|Aqua Breed}} Paldean Tauros.

If a Pokémon without a regional form evolves into a Pokémon with a regional form, it will evolve into the form native to the region it is currently in, regardless of its origin. For example, if a Pikachu originating from {{g|X and Y}} evolves in {{g|Sun and Moon}}, it will still evolve into an {{rf|Alolan}} Raichu.

Regional forms introduced from [[Generation VIII]] onward may have an Evolution that their regular form does not. They may also evolve into a different Pokémon than their regular form in a similar manner to [[List of Pokémon with branched Evolutions|branched Evolutions]].

==In the spin-off games==
===Super Smash Bros. Ultimate===
Alolan Raichu, Vulpix, and Exeggutor appear as Pokémon that can appear from [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate#Poké Ball and Master Ball Pokémon|Poké Ball]]s in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]].

===Pokémon Shuffle===
{{main|Alolan form|section=Pokémon Shuffle}}

[[Alolan form]]s appear in [[Pokémon Shuffle]].

===Pokémon GO===
:''For a list of the regional forms, see [[Alolan form#Pokémon GO|Alolan form → Pokémon GO]], [[Galarian form#Pokémon GO|Galarian form → Pokémon GO]], [[Hisuian form#Pokémon GO|Hisuian form → Pokémon GO]], and [[Paldean form#Pokémon GO|Paldean form → Pokémon GO]]''

In [[Pokémon GO]], they are [[Terminology of regional forms#Pokémon GO|referred to in the game dialogue]] as '''regional variants'''. They often have special requirements to be obtained as opposed to simply encountering them in the {{pkmn2|wild}}.

[[Alolan form]]s first appeared in Pokémon GO on May 30, 2018, with the appearance of Alolan {{p|Exeggutor}}. Initially, they were exclusive to [[List of Eggs in Pokémon GO|7 km Eggs]] and {{OBP|Raid Battle|GO}}s, but have occasionally reappeared in the wild since their debuts.

[[Galarian form]]s first appeared on November 16, 2019, with the appearance of Galarian {{p|Weezing}}.

[[Hisuian form]]s first appeared on January 30, 2022, with the appearance of Hisuian {{p|Voltorb}}.

[[Paldean form]]s first appeared on November 5, 2023, with the appearance of Paldean {{p|Wooper}}.

===Pokémon Duel===
{{main|Alolan form|section=Pokémon Duel}}
Certain Alolan forms were included in {{g|Duel}}.

===Pokémon Masters EX===
:''Main articles: [[Alolan form#Pokémon Masters EX|Alolan form → Pokémon Masters EX]], [[Galarian form#Pokémon Masters EX|Galarian form → Pokémon Masters EX]] and [[Hisuian form#Pokémon Masters EX|Hisuian form → Pokémon Masters EX]]''

In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], the regional forms currently available are from [[Alola]], [[Galar]], and [[Hisui]]. However, they inconsistently use different naming systems: "Alola Form" and "Galarian Form".

===New Pokémon Snap===
Alolan {{p|Raichu}}, {{p|Sandslash}}, and {{p|Vulpix}} can be found and photographed in the [[Lental]] region.

===Pokémon UNITE===
{{UNITE|Alolan Raichu}}, {{UNITE|Alolan Ninetales}}, and {{UNITE|Galarian Rapidash}} are playable {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in {{g|UNITE}}. Alolan {{p|Meowth}} and {{p|Persian}} also appear as wild Pokémon in the [[Shivre City]] stage. In [[Panic Parade]], Alolan Meowth, Alolan Persian, and Paldean {{p|Tauros}} appear as wild Pokémon opposing the players.

===Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket===
:''Main articles: [[Alolan form#Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket|Alolan form → Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket]], [[Galarian form#Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket|Galarian form → Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket]], and [[Paldean form#Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket|Paldean form → Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket]]''

Regional variants are featured in [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket]] as Alolan, Galarian, and Paldean Pokémon. Like in the TCG, Evolutions exclusive to regional variants have the same descriptors used for their pre-evolved forms appended to the name of the Evolution. For example, "Galarian" is used as a descriptor for both Galarian form Pokémon and their Evolutions, as seen with {{TCG ID|Secluded Springs|Galarian Corsola|34}} and {{TCG ID|Secluded Springs|Galarian Cursola|35}} from {{TCGP|Secluded Springs}}.

===Pokémon Pokopia===
Paldean Wooper can be found and befriended in {{g|Pokopia}}.

Regional variants are featured in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] as {{rf|Alolan}}, {{rf|Galarian}}, {{rf|Hisuian}}, and {{rf|Paldean}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Notably, [[Evolution]]s exclusive to regional variants have the same descriptors used for their pre-evolved forms appended to the name of the Evolution. For example, "Galarian" is used as a descriptor for both Galarian form Pokémon and their Evolutions, as seen with {{TCG ID|Battle Styles|Galarian Mr. Mime|34}} and {{TCG ID|Battle Styles|Galarian Mr. Rime|35}} from {{TCG|Battle Styles}}. This is because some cards refer to Pokémon that are of a specific regional variant. For example, {{TCG ID|Lost Thunder|Aether Foundation Employee|168}} refers to "Pokémon that have 'Alolan' in their names".

While Galarian and Paldean Pokémon have no other exclusive mechanics, Alolan and Hisuian Pokémon have the distinction of often featuring {{TCG|attack}}s that cost zero {{TCG|Energy}} to use. Before the Sun & Moon Series, this mechanic had been absent from the TCG since the HeartGold & SoulSilver Series. Free attacks were exclusive to Alolan and Hisuian Pokémon until the Scarlet & Violet Series, when they were also once again seen on [[baby Pokémon]] cards.

Prior to [[Generation VII]], there were already certain {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that had variations depending on their native geographical area, but, unlike regional forms, these Pokémon do not appear to have any functional difference from their original forms; rather, their differences are purely aesthetic, with their [[type]], [[move]]s, {{Abilities}}, [[List of Pokémon by height|height]], and [[weight]] remaining the same.

* The [[Generation I]] [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] for {{p|Arbok}} state that there are six variations of its face-like hood markings that differ between areas. Eight designs are known, but only three have appeared in the [[core series]] games (with a fourth in {{vg|Pokémon Ranger}}). In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Arbok gains a special ability depending on its pattern.
* In [[Sinnoh]], {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}} have [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Shellos and Gastrodon|different appearances]] on each side of [[Mt. Coronet]]. East Sea Shellos and Gastrodon only appear east of Mt. Coronet, whereas West Sea Shellos and Gastrodon only appear on the west side.
* {{p|Mantyke}}'s Pokédex entry in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Pokémon Pearl}} says that the pattern on its back varies from region to region. While it has the same appearance in all [[Generation IV]] games (due to using the same sprites), the "face" from [[Generation V]] onward appears wider.
* {{p|Vivillon}}, which was introduced in Generation VI, has a [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Vivillon|different appearance]] depending on where the game it was created in is from in the real world.
* In the {{aniseries|OS}} episode ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]'', a number of alternately colored Pokémon were seen on [[Valencia Island]], including {{p|Butterfree}}, {{p|Raticate}}, {{p|Nidoran♂}}, {{p|Nidoran♀}}, {{p|Vileplume}}, {{p|Paras}}, and {{p|Weepinbell}}. [[Professor Ivy]], the [[Pokémon Professor]] of the [[Orange Islands]], studies these variations.
* The episode ''[[EP211|Fly Me to the Moon]]'' featured {{p|Pidgey}} native to [[Pudgy Pidgey Isle]] that were too heavy to fly due to an abundance of food and a lack of predators.
* In the [[Pikachu short]] ''[[PK09|Snorlax Snowman]]'', several ice-blue {{p|Snorlax}} adapted to more frigid climates appeared.
* In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] chapter ''[[PS121|Off Course with Corsola]]'', {{adv|Bill}} mentioned that [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] share many of the same Pokémon, but their colors and patterns are different between regions.

The Pokémon Trading Card Game introduced Delta Species Pokémon in [[Generation III]]. Like regional forms, these Pokémon would undergo a {{TCG|Type}} change, but their appearance would stay generally the same. The backstory of {{TCG|EX Delta Species}} states that these changes were not due to natural adaptation but rather a mutation brought on by exposure to electromagnetic waves. This seems to be an exclusive phenomenon on the island of [[Holon]], the aforementioned waves a product of experiments by scientists in the area searching for the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Mew}}. Delta Species Pokémon appeared in the TCG from {{TCG|EX Delta Species}} to {{TCG|EX Dragon Frontiers}}.

===Convergent species===
{{main|Convergent species}}
Certain [[Generation IX]] Pokémon noted as closely resembling previously {{pkmn|discovery|discovered}} species are often mistaken for regional forms.

According to the [[Pokédex]] and other sources, researchers initially believed {{p|Wiglett}} and {{p|Wugtrio}} to be regional forms of {{p|Diglett}} and {{p|Dugtrio}}, respectively, before concluding they were separate species entirely.

===Bloodmoon Ursaluna===
{{main|Ursaluna (Pokémon)}}
Bloodmoon Ursaluna, a specific Ursaluna with a unique form is found in the [[Timeless Woods]] at the land of [[Kitakami]], is similar to regional forms, being a Pokémon that moved away from its original region and adapted to the new different environment, but instead of changing its [[type]]s, it kept its original ones and gained special powers, namely {{m|Blood Moon}} and {{a|Mind's Eye}}.

==Trivia==
* In contrast to other regional forms, {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Zigzagoon}} is referred to as the original form of its respective species.<ref>[[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Shield]] [[Pokédex]] entry for regular {{p|Zigzagoon}}: "''Zigzagoon that adapted to [[region]]s outside [[Galar]] acquired this appearance.[...]''"</ref>
* The only [[type]] not possessed by any regional form is {{t|Bug}}.
** Additionally, there are no {{type|Flying}} regional forms that were not already that type in their original form.
* {{t|Dark}} is the most common type among regional forms, with 11, while {{t|Water}} is the least common type, with only 2.
* Out of the generations that introduced {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that would later have regional forms, [[Generation I]] introduced the most, at 33, while [[Generation VII]] introduced the fewest, at one.
** Generations {{gen|IV}}, {{gen|VIII}}, and {{gen|IX}} are the only generations to not introduce any {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that have regional forms.
* Out of all the generations that introduced regional forms, Generation VIII introduced the most, with 36 (19 from [[Galar]], and 17 from [[Hisui]]), while Generation IX introduced the fewest, with four. However, [[Paldea]] also introduces [[convergent species]] and [[Paradox Pokémon]], which are in certain aspects similar to regional forms.
* {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} are the only [[core series]] games following the introduction of regional forms to not feature them.
* {{g|Legends: Arceus}} is the only core series game in which a regional form exists but its respective original form does not.
** The only regional forms in the game whose original forms are also present are {{p|Sneasel}} and {{p|Vulpix}}.
* {{p|Darmanitan}} and {{p|Tauros}} are the only Pokémon whose regional forms have further [[List of Pokémon with form differences|form differences]].
* {{p|Raichu}} and {{p|Slowbro}} are the only Pokémon to have both a regional form and a [[Mega Evolution]]. In both cases, the regional form cannot Mega Evolve.
* {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Sneasel}} is the only regional form to have [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]].

Regional form

2026-04-30T04:28:23Z

Pinsplash: /* In the core series games */ clarified wording according to the example that follows

[[File:Vulpix anime.png|thumb|300px|[[Kanto]]nian and [[Alola]]n {{p|Vulpix}} in {{aniseries|SM}}]]
A '''regional form''' (Japanese: '''リージョンフォーム'''<ref name="Alolan Ninetales Pokémon Moon">''"regional variant of Ninetales"'' (Japanese: キュウコンの　リージョンフォーム) - Alolan Ninetales entry in Pokémon Moon</ref> ''region form''), also known as a '''regional variant''',<ref name="Alolan Ninetales Pokémon Moon"/> is an alternate [[form]] of a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that is found in a specific [[region]]. These forms differ from those found in other regions, usually even to the point of having a different [[type]]. Some regional forms also have different [[Evolution]]s than their counterparts from other regions.

Four regions are currently known to have their own regional forms:
* [[Alolan form]]s in [[Alola]].
* [[Galarian form]]s in [[Galar]].
* [[Hisuian form]]s in [[Hisui]].
* [[Paldean form]]s in [[Paldea]].

54 Pokémon currently have regional forms, and 57 regional forms currently exist in total (55 and 58, respectively, if White-Striped {{p|Basculin}} is counted as a regional form). Apart from {{p|Meowth}} and {{p|Tauros}}, which have two and three respectively, each Pokémon with a regional form has only one.

==Terminology==
{{main|Terminology of regional forms}}
In [[Generation VII]], they were introduced as '''regional variants''', which is also mentioned in some {{g|GO}} [[Community Day]] events from 2023. From [[Generation VIII]] onwards, they have been consistently known as '''regional forms''' in the core series games.

The place name adjective (such as "Alolan") is used before the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s name. In running text, both the original form and the new regional forms are sometimes treated this way, such as "[[Kanto]]nian {{p|Meowth}}" and "{{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Meowth}}". Conversely, the Pokémon is sometimes simply mentioned in running text without using the regional adjective. For instance, if the player encounters a wild {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Meowth}}, the battle dialogue will simply say "You encountered a wild {{p|Meowth}}!".

In the [[Generation VII]] games, the [[Pokédex]] displays "Alola Form" as the title of this form. From [[Generation VIII]] onwards (including in [[Pokémon HOME]]), the adjectives for the place names are consistently used instead. For instance, "Alolan Form", "Galarian Form", "[[Hisuian Form]]", and "[[Paldean Form]]". The original form (such as Kantonian Meowth) is not named in the Pokédex.

In running text (as seen on [[Pokémon.com]]), the word "form" has been consistently written in lowercase. In the [[Generation VII]] era, "Alola form" was previously used, but from [[Generation VIII]] onwards, this includes "Kantonian form", "Alolan form", "Galarian form", etc.

==In the core series games==
In the [[Alola]], [[Galar]], [[Hisui]], and [[Paldea]] [[region]]s, certain {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} species have regional forms.

Pokémon with regional forms have uniquely adapted to habitats that are different than those where its species naturally live in other parts of the {{pkmn|world}}. As such, many things may be different about them, from their appearance and way of living to even their [[type]](s), [[move]]s, {{Abilities}}, [[base stats]], [[List of Pokémon by height|height]], and [[weight]]. This is analogous to a form of real-world {{wp|evolution}} known as {{wp|peripatric speciation}}, where a population that is isolated from the rest of the species develops unique traits and may eventually evolve into a new species.

When {{pkmn|breeding}} Pokémon whose offspring have a regional form, the child will normally take on the form corresponding to the region in which the {{pkmn|Egg|egg}} was hatched, regardless of its parents' forms. However, if one of the parents of the same [[evolution]]ary line held an [[Everstone]] when the Egg was produced, the offspring will be the same form as that parent. For this purpose, evolved forms exclusive to a regional form count as a regional form (e.g. a {{p|Perrserker}} egg outside Galar will hatch into [[Kanto]]nian {{p|Meowth}} if it was not holding an Everstone, and a {{rf|Galarian}} Meowth if it was). This does not apply to White-Striped {{p|Basculin}} and {{p|Basculegion}}, which always produce White-Striped Basculin—regardless of region or held Everstones—when they are the mother or non-{{p|Ditto}} parent. If the parents are the same species but different forms and in different [[Poké Ball]]s, then the offspring has a 50% chance of inheriting either parent's Poké Ball regardless of what form the offspring takes.

If a Kantonian {{p|Tauros}} is bred in Paldea and is not holding an Everstone, then the resulting offspring will always be {{form|Paldean Tauros|Combat Breed}} {{rf|Paldean}} Tauros and never the {{form|Paldean Tauros|Blaze Breed}} or {{form|Paldean Tauros|Aqua Breed}} Paldean Tauros.

If a Pokémon without a regional form evolves into a Pokémon with a regional form, it will evolve into the form native to the region it is currently in, regardless of its origin. For example, if a Pikachu originating from {{g|X and Y}} evolves in {{g|Sun and Moon}}, it will still evolve into an {{rf|Alolan}} Raichu.

Regional forms introduced from [[Generation VIII]] onward may have an Evolution that their regular form does not. They may also evolve into a different Pokémon than their regular form in a similar manner to [[List of Pokémon with branched Evolutions|branched Evolutions]].

==In the spin-off games==
===Super Smash Bros. Ultimate===
Alolan Raichu, Vulpix, and Exeggutor appear as Pokémon that can appear from [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate#Poké Ball and Master Ball Pokémon|Poké Ball]]s in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]].

===Pokémon Shuffle===
{{main|Alolan form|section=Pokémon Shuffle}}

[[Alolan form]]s appear in [[Pokémon Shuffle]].

===Pokémon GO===
:''For a list of the regional forms, see [[Alolan form#Pokémon GO|Alolan form → Pokémon GO]], [[Galarian form#Pokémon GO|Galarian form → Pokémon GO]], [[Hisuian form#Pokémon GO|Hisuian form → Pokémon GO]], and [[Paldean form#Pokémon GO|Paldean form → Pokémon GO]]''

In [[Pokémon GO]], they are [[Terminology of regional forms#Pokémon GO|referred to in the game dialogue]] as '''regional variants'''. They often have special requirements to be obtained as opposed to simply encountering them in the {{pkmn2|wild}}.

[[Alolan form]]s first appeared in Pokémon GO on May 30, 2018, with the appearance of Alolan {{p|Exeggutor}}. Initially, they were exclusive to [[List of Eggs in Pokémon GO|7 km Eggs]] and {{OBP|Raid Battle|GO}}s, but have occasionally reappeared in the wild since their debuts.

[[Galarian form]]s first appeared on November 16, 2019, with the appearance of Galarian {{p|Weezing}}.

[[Hisuian form]]s first appeared on January 30, 2022, with the appearance of Hisuian {{p|Voltorb}}.

[[Paldean form]]s first appeared on November 5, 2023, with the appearance of Paldean {{p|Wooper}}.

:''Main articles: [[Alolan form#Pokémon Masters EX|Alolan form → Pokémon Masters EX]], [[Galarian form#Pokémon Masters EX|Galarian form → Pokémon Masters EX]] and [[Hisuian form#Pokémon Masters EX|Hisuian form → Pokémon Masters EX]]''

In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], the regional forms currently available are from [[Alola]], [[Galar]], and [[Hisui]]. However, they inconsistently use different naming systems: "Alola Form" and "Galarian Form".

===New Pokémon Snap===
Alolan {{p|Raichu}}, {{p|Sandslash}}, and {{p|Vulpix}} can be found and photographed in the [[Lental]] region.

===Pokémon UNITE===
{{UNITE|Alolan Raichu}}, {{UNITE|Alolan Ninetales}}, and {{UNITE|Galarian Rapidash}} are playable {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in {{g|UNITE}}. Alolan {{p|Meowth}} and {{p|Persian}} also appear as wild Pokémon in the [[Shivre City]] stage. In [[Panic Parade]], Alolan Meowth, Alolan Persian, and Paldean {{p|Tauros}} appear as wild Pokémon opposing the players.

Regional variants are featured in [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket]] as Alolan, Galarian, and Paldean Pokémon. Like in the TCG, Evolutions exclusive to regional variants have the same descriptors used for their pre-evolved forms appended to the name of the Evolution. For example, "Galarian" is used as a descriptor for both Galarian form Pokémon and their Evolutions, as seen with {{TCG ID|Secluded Springs|Galarian Corsola|34}} and {{TCG ID|Secluded Springs|Galarian Cursola|35}} from {{TCGP|Secluded Springs}}.

Regional variants are featured in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] as {{rf|Alolan}}, {{rf|Galarian}}, {{rf|Hisuian}}, and {{rf|Paldean}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Notably, [[Evolution]]s exclusive to regional variants have the same descriptors used for their pre-evolved forms appended to the name of the Evolution. For example, "Galarian" is used as a descriptor for both Galarian form Pokémon and their Evolutions, as seen with {{TCG ID|Battle Styles|Galarian Mr. Mime|34}} and {{TCG ID|Battle Styles|Galarian Mr. Rime|35}} from {{TCG|Battle Styles}}. This is because some cards refer to Pokémon that are of a specific regional variant. For example, {{TCG ID|Lost Thunder|Aether Foundation Employee|168}} refers to "Pokémon that have 'Alolan' in their names".

While Galarian and Paldean Pokémon have no other exclusive mechanics, Alolan and Hisuian Pokémon have the distinction of often featuring {{TCG|attack}}s that cost zero {{TCG|Energy}} to use. Before the Sun & Moon Series, this mechanic had been absent from the TCG since the HeartGold & SoulSilver Series. Free attacks were exclusive to Alolan and Hisuian Pokémon until the Scarlet & Violet Series, when they were also once again seen on [[baby Pokémon]] cards.

===Variant Pokémon===
{{main|Variant Pokémon}}
[[File:Orange Islands Butterfree.png|thumb|220px|A [[Valencia Island]] {{p|Butterfree}}]]
Prior to [[Generation VII]], there were already certain {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that had variations depending on their native geographical area, but, unlike regional forms, these Pokémon do not appear to have any functional difference from their original forms; rather, their differences are purely aesthetic, with their [[type]], [[move]]s, {{Abilities}}, [[List of Pokémon by height|height]], and [[weight]] remaining the same.

* The [[Generation I]] [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] for {{p|Arbok}} state that there are six variations of its face-like hood markings that differ between areas. Eight designs are known, but only three have appeared in the [[core series]] games (with a fourth in {{vg|Pokémon Ranger}}). In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Arbok gains a special ability depending on its pattern.
* In [[Sinnoh]], {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}} have [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Shellos and Gastrodon|different appearances]] on each side of [[Mt. Coronet]]. East Sea Shellos and Gastrodon only appear east of Mt. Coronet, whereas West Sea Shellos and Gastrodon only appear on the west side.
* {{p|Mantyke}}'s Pokédex entry in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Pokémon Pearl}} says that the pattern on its back varies from region to region. While it has the same appearance in all [[Generation IV]] games (due to using the same sprites), the "face" from [[Generation V]] onward appears wider.
* {{p|Vivillon}}, which was introduced in Generation VI, has a [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Vivillon|different appearance]] depending on where the game it was created in is from in the real world.
* In the {{aniseries|OS}} episode ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]'', a number of alternately colored Pokémon were seen on [[Valencia Island]], including {{p|Butterfree}}, {{p|Raticate}}, {{p|Nidoran♂}}, {{p|Nidoran♀}}, {{p|Vileplume}}, {{p|Paras}}, and {{p|Weepinbell}}. [[Professor Ivy]], the [[Pokémon Professor]] of the [[Orange Islands]], studies these variations.
* The episode ''[[EP211|Fly Me to the Moon]]'' featured {{p|Pidgey}} native to [[Pudgy Pidgey Isle]] that were too heavy to fly due to an abundance of food and a lack of predators.
* In the [[Pikachu short]] ''[[PK09|Snorlax Snowman]]'', several ice-blue {{p|Snorlax}} adapted to more frigid climates appeared.
* In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] chapter ''[[PS121|Off Course with Corsola]]'', {{adv|Bill}} mentioned that [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] share many of the same Pokémon, but their colors and patterns are different between regions.

===δ Delta Species===
{{main|δ Delta Species (TCG)}}
[[File:PikachuEXHolonPhantoms79.jpg|thumb|200px|right|A {{TCG|Metal}} {{TCG|type}} {{p|Pikachu}}]]
The Pokémon Trading Card Game introduced Delta Species Pokémon in [[Generation III]]. Like regional forms, these Pokémon would undergo a {{TCG|Type}} change, but their appearance would stay generally the same. The backstory of {{TCG|EX Delta Species}} states that these changes were not due to natural adaptation but rather a mutation brought on by exposure to electromagnetic waves. This seems to be an exclusive phenomenon on the island of [[Holon]], the aforementioned waves a product of experiments by scientists in the area searching for the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Mew}}. Delta Species Pokémon appeared in the TCG from {{TCG|EX Delta Species}} to {{TCG|EX Dragon Frontiers}}.

===Convergent species===
{{main|Convergent species}}
Certain [[Generation IX]] Pokémon noted as closely resembling previously {{pkmn|discovery|discovered}} species are often mistaken for regional forms.

According to the [[Pokédex]] and other sources, researchers initially believed {{p|Wiglett}} and {{p|Wugtrio}} to be regional forms of {{p|Diglett}} and {{p|Dugtrio}}, respectively, before concluding they were separate species entirely.

===Bloodmoon Ursaluna===
{{main|Ursaluna (Pokémon)}}
Bloodmoon Ursaluna, a specific Ursaluna with a unique form is found in the [[Timeless Woods]] at the land of [[Kitakami]], is similar to regional forms, being a Pokémon that moved away from its original region and adapted to the new different environment, but instead of changing its [[type]]s, it kept its original ones and gained special powers, namely {{m|Blood Moon}} and {{a|Mind's Eye}}.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* In contrast to other regional forms, {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Zigzagoon}} is referred to as the original form of its respective species.<ref>[[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Shield]] [[Pokédex]] entry for regular {{p|Zigzagoon}}: "''Zigzagoon that adapted to [[region]]s outside [[Galar]] acquired this appearance.[...]''"</ref>
* The only [[type]] not possessed by any regional form is {{t|Bug}}.
** Additionally, there are no {{type|Flying}} regional forms that were not already that type in their original form.
* {{t|Dark}} is the most common type among regional forms, with 11, while {{t|Water}} is the least common type, with only 2.
* Out of the generations that introduced {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that would later have regional forms, [[Generation I]] introduced the most, at 33, while [[Generation VII]] introduced the fewest, at one.
** Generations {{gen|IV}}, {{gen|VIII}}, and {{gen|IX}} are the only generations to not introduce any {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that have regional forms.
* Out of all the generations that introduced regional forms, Generation VIII introduced the most, with 36 (19 from [[Galar]], and 17 from [[Hisui]]), while Generation IX introduced the fewest, with four. However, [[Paldea]] also introduces [[convergent species]] and [[Paradox Pokémon]], which are in certain aspects similar to regional forms.
* {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} are the only [[core series]] games following the introduction of regional forms to not feature them.
* {{g|Legends: Arceus}} is the only core series game in which a regional form exists but its respective original form does not.
** The only regional forms in the game whose original forms are also present are {{p|Sneasel}} and {{p|Vulpix}}.
* {{p|Darmanitan}} and {{p|Tauros}} are the only Pokémon whose regional forms have further [[List of Pokémon with form differences|form differences]].
* {{p|Raichu}} and {{p|Slowbro}} are the only Pokémon to have both a regional form and a [[Mega Evolution]]. In both cases, the regional form cannot Mega Evolve.
* {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Sneasel}} is the only regional form to have [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]].

Weight

2026-04-21T22:15:12Z

Pinsplash: /* Game mechanics affected by weight */ clarified what spading notice was asking about

'''Weight''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|重|おも}}さ''' ''weight'') is a measure of the {{wp|mass}} of a Pokémon. This is measured in {{wp|kilogram}}s (in all languages except English) or {{wp|Pound (mass)|pounds}} (in English).

==List of Pokémon by weight==
{{main|List of Pokémon by weight}}
Every Pokémon species has a specific weight that is displayed in the Pokédex for that species. Some species have different weights in different [[form]]s.

==In the core series games==
{{incomplete|section|needs=Details on XS and XL Pokémon in Let's Go}}
{{MoveResearch|Transform copies a Pokémon's weight. Does the Heavy Ball consider a Transformed Pokémon's original species' weight or the new weight? Does Transform copy Autotomize's weight loss, and does transforming cause the user to lose its own Autotomize weight loss?}}
The [[Pokédex]] lists a weight for each Pokémon species. In English, weight is displayed in {{wp|Pound (mass)|pounds}} (to one decimal place); in all other languages, it is displayed in {{wp|kilogram}}s (to one decimal place). All game mechanics based on weight use kilograms for their calculations.

In most [[core series]] games, all members of the species in the same [[form]] have the same weight.

In {{LGPE}} (like in {{g|GO}}), each individual Pokémon has its own weight, with the value in the Pokédex simply being an average weight for Pokémon of that species.

If a [[Heavy Ball]] is used on a Pokémon that has transformed, the effectiveness will be calculated by the original weight, rather than the weight of the Pokémon that it has transformed into.

===Weight-modifying effects===
From [[Generation V]] onwards, there are several effects that can modify a Pokémon's weight in battle. They are applied in the order they are listed below.
* A Pokémon that uses {{m|Autotomize}} has its base weight decreased by 100 kg (220 lbs.) each time it uses the move and successfully changes its {{stat|Speed}}.
* A Pokémon with the [[Ability]] {{a|Heavy Metal}} or {{a|Light Metal}} functions as twice or half its previously determined weight, respectively.
* A Pokémon holding a [[Float Stone]] functions as half its previously determined weight.

A Pokémon's weight cannot drop below 0.1 kg. Weight is stored with a granularity of 0.1 kg; if an effect halves a Pokémon's weight, the result is rounded down to the next-lower multiple of 0.1 (but cannot drop below the minimum 0.1 kg).

From [[Generation VI]] onward, if a Pokémon changes [[form]], any previously accumulated weight modifications due to Autotomize are lost.

===Game mechanics affected by weight===
{{incomplete|section|Weight intervals for the visual and sound effects in LGPE and G8 Confirm how the Heavy Ball works in Max Raid Battles Do the Let's Go games use the individual weight or the species average weight for weight-related mechanics?}}
Weight affects the following {{pkmn|games|game}} mechanics. Because the games use weight in kilograms for functional purposes, {{wp|Metric system|metric values}} are shown first, followed by {{wp|United States customary units|United States customary values}}.

[[Dynamax]] Pokémon do not have specific weight values. Moves affected by weight fail if they target a Dynamax Pokémon.

In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, all Pokémon have a scale value ranging from 0 to 255 that affects their displayed size. However, that scale value is purely aesthetic and has no other effect on gameplay.

====Low Kick and Grass Knot====
From [[Generation III]] onward, the [[move]]s {{m|Low Kick}} and {{m|Grass Knot}} have a base power of 20, increasing in power based on the target's weight, at specific increments.

====Heat Crash and Heavy Slam====
The [[power]] of the moves {{m|Heat Crash}} and {{m|Heavy Slam}} depends on the weight of both the user and the target; the lighter the target is in comparison to the user, the greater the power.

|}

====Sky Drop====
From Generation VI onward, Pokémon weighing at least 200 kg (440.9 lbs.) cannot be taken into the air by another Pokémon's {{m|Sky Drop}}.

====Heavy Ball====
In games in which [[Heavy Ball]]s are available, using them modifies the [[catch rate]] of the targeted Pokémon depending on its weight (ignoring weight-changing effects).

====Battle rules====
Pokémon weighing more than 20.0 kg (44.1 lbs.) are not eligible to compete in the [[Fancy Cup]] (known as the Petit Cup in Generation I).

Pokémon weighing more than 99.0 kg (218.3 lbs.) are not eligible to compete in the [[Light Cup]].

====Battle entry animation====
Since [[Generation V]], certain visual and sound effects are applied when a Pokémon lands on the surface of a battlefield, depending on the Pokémon's weight (ignoring weight-changing effects). {{p|Diglett}}, {{p|Dugtrio}}, {{p|Gengar}}, and Pokémon that float above the surface of the battlefield do not cause any such effects. Pokémon holding an [[Air Balloon]] also do not cause any such effects, even if the item's function is being suppressed by {{a|Klutz}} or {{m|Magic Room}}.

In Generation V:
* Small shake and high-pitched landing noise for Pokémon weighing 49.9 kg (110.0 lbs.) or less. 
* Medium shake and lower landing noise for Pokémon weighing between 50 kg (110.2 lbs.) and 149.9 kg (330.5 lbs.). 
* Heavy shake, crashing sound and dust for Pokémon weighing 150 kg (330.7 lbs.) or more. 
In Generation VI and VII:
* Quiet landing noise for Pokémon weighing 49.9 kg (110.0 lbs.) or less. 
* Louder landing noise for Pokémon weighing between 50 kg (110.2 lbs.) and 99.9kg (220.3 lbs.) 
* Heavy landing noise and a small dust cloud for Pokémon weighing between 100 kg (220.5 lbs.) and 199.9kg (440.7 lbs.) 
* Deeper heavy landing noise and a large dust cloud for Pokémon weighing 200 kg (440.9 lbs.) or more 

When a Pokémon is [[Dynamax]]ed, it is sent out from a Dynamaxed Poké Ball and causing a landing visual effect (unless the Pokémon cannot land on the ground, such as {{p|Diglett}} or {{p|Dugtrio}}). This visual effect is unaffected by weight.

====Other====
{{incomplete|section|BDSP intervals for animations}}
In {{g|X and Y}}, in the "Compare" section of the Pokédex, if the player taps a Pokémon's menu sprite, ten simplified {{type|Flying}} Pokémon sprites will fly onto the screen, encircle and lift the Pokémon's model up, before dropping, with a number of them flying off the screen, with the number remaining depending on the Pokémon's weight; more Flying-type Pokémon will remain for heavier Pokémon. If the Pokémon is {{p|Diglett}}, {{p|Dugtrio}}, or {{me|Gengar}}, the Flying-type Pokémon will all disperse before even attempting to lift it.

Similarly, in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}'s weight comparison feature, a different animation will play depending on the Pokémon's weight.

==In spin-off games==
===Pokémon GO===
In {{g|GO}}, each individual Pokémon has its own weight, with the value in the Pokédex simply being an average weight for Pokémon of that species.

==Trivia==
* In the Japanese games {{game|Red and Green|s}}, {{p|Nidoqueen}} weighs 6.0 kg instead of 60.0 kg (as it does in all other games). This has no mechanical significance.
* In the Japanese game {{game|Blue|_(Japanese)}}, {{p|Geodude}} weighs 2.0 kg instead of 20.0 kg (as it does in all other games). This has no mechanical significance.
* Prior to {{g|Sword and Shield}}, the displayed weight in pounds for {{p|Mr. Mime}}, {{p|Furret}}, {{p|Porygon2}}, {{p|Linoone}}, {{p|Lombre}}, {{p|Torkoal}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}} were incorrectly rounded down, displaying as 0.1 lbs. lower than the correctly rounded value.
* Several [[glitch Pokémon]] from Generation I, such as [[MissingNo.]], far exceed normal weight measurements. For example, the heaviest real Pokémon weigh in at 2204.4 lbs. (999.9 kg), while [[MissingNo.]] weighs 3507.2 lbs. (1590.8 kg), and [[h POKé]] weighs 6099.0 lbs. (2766.5 kg).
* In {{g|Crystal}} only, there is a [[glitch]] that causes the retrieved weights of {{p|Kadabra}}, {{p|Tauros}}, and {{p|Sunflora}} to become junk data that are, in turn, interpreted as massive weights, causing these particular Pokémon to receive the +40 capture modifier for the [[Heavy Ball]].<ref>https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/engine/items/item_effects.asm#L763</ref>
* The heaviest possible weight a Pokémon can have in the games is 4,408.8 lbs (1,999.8 kg). This can be achieved by using {{m|Skill Swap}} or {{m|Entrainment}} to give the [[Ability]] {{a|Heavy Metal}} to {{p|Cosmoem}} or {{p|Celesteela}}.

__NEWSECTIONLINK__
{{shortcut|2|SPADING|BP:SPADING}}
'''Spading''' (from the {{wp|Bartle Test}}) is the act of actively trying to learn about all aspects of a game. To that end, this page will contain a list of questions about the games that need to be researched, and will probably contain a list of answers for historical purposes.

There is a template for spading: [[Template:Spading]]. It is to be placed on the front page. Unless people start to dislike that, in which case it will belong on the talk page. Usage details are in the [[Template:Spading|template page]].

Note: Since it doesn't really matter, this talk page can be used as a less formal way of doing spading. You can time-stamp a question or answer here with five tildes (<nowiki>~~~~~</nowiki>: time without username).

==Multiple generations==
===Randomness of specific pokemon===
I've noticed that though stats and nature of pokemon obtained as a prize at game corners are random (at least in fire red) their gender and ability remain the same, no matter how many times I try. Personality values as described in its page are stored as a single 32 digit number and randomized upon the pokemon being "created", does this then mean that on occasion it's not treated completely at random? If so, when? What pokemon have part of their personality values fixed?

==={{status|Confusion}}===
:''Status: Answered''
How is damage from confusion determined? Attack and defense stats both influence it, but is there a base power like normal attacks?
*'''Answer''': Smogon says that it's a 40-power move.

In that case, how does it interact with Technician?
*'''Answer''':The article for Technician says that the ability does not affect confusion damage.

===Mimic/Sketch===
:''Status: Answered''
Can you Mimic Sketch?
* '''Answer:''' No, you can't. Right since Generation II, it just says that "But it failed!".

==={{m|Protect}}===
:''Status: Answered''
What is the accuracy of Protect after used once or more times in succession?
* '''Answer:''' Reduced by 50%. A detailed version available at the Protect/Detect page.

===Ghost===
:''Status: Answered''
In Generations I, II, and III, is ghost physical or special? The current page says it is physical, but Shadow Ball lowers special defense in previous generations, so why would it be physical?
* '''Answer:''' This is just the effect of the move. It is programmed that Shadow Ball lowers special defense, and this has nothing to do with the nature of the move. Oh, and it is physical by the way.

===Transform===
Some questions appear on the Talk page for {{m|Transform}}. These three have not been adequately answered:
* What happens when a Transformed Pokémon uses {{m|Baton Pass}}?
* In which generations does Transform fail to copy a foe during the semi-invulnerable turns of {{m|Dig}}, {{m|Fly}}, {{m|Bounce}}, etc?
* What happens when a Transformed Pokémon uses {{m|Sketch}}?
[[User:Yenreb|Yenreb]] 04:50, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
:*Same effect as normal. It uses Baton Pass and all stat changes, substitutes, etc. transfer over to the new Pokémon. Transformed state does not transfer over.
:*Fails in IV, dunno about I-III.
:*It fails.
:'''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 23:17, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
:To answer the second question, it fails in III and IV but it will transform into the opponent in generation I-II. [[User:ShinyGlaceon|ShinyGlaceon]] 16:56, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

===Serene Grace===

Does Serene Grace work in conjunction with held items such as King's Rock?
--[[User:Chromehawk|Chromehawk]] 23:00, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
:*No. Items are calculated in after abilities are. if the King's Rock was calculated in beforehand, moves with a 30% chance of flinching normally would have a finishing calculation of 102%. It is calculated abilities, then items.
--[[User:Vlax|Vlax]]
:: This is incorrect, [[Serene Grace]] does increase the chance according to the article. Your answer is also wrong because flinch items don't modify moves already capable of flinching. [[User:EliteFourScott|EliteFourScott]] ([[User talk:EliteFourScott|talk]]) 01:09, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

==={{m|Take Down}}===

What happens if both the user and the opponent faint using this move, and it is both Trainers' last Pokémon? Who wins? [[User:TheTigerBuddy|TheTigerBuddy]] 19:27, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
:I'd assume competitively it would count the same as a self-fainting caused by Destiny Bond or Explosion (the loser is the one who used it), but game coding, I've got no idea.
:If it happens in any in-game battles, include Battle Tower/Frontier matches, you lose regardless who used that recoil move. As for Wi-Fi/LAN battles, it probably counts as a draw (same as Selfdestruct or Destiny Bond KO's). ~ [[User:Solarys|Solarys]] 11:31, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
::The trainer whose Pokémon faints first is the loser. That's why Explosion faints the user ''before'' dealing damage in Generation V.[[User:LouisCyphre|
]] 21:57, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
::Whoever lasts longer wins. If the user and opponent both faint, as recoil damage for Take Down and other similar moves are calculated AFTER the opponent gets the full effect from the hit, the user wins. [[User:APokemonTrainer|APokemonTrainer]] ([[User talk:APokemonTrainer|talk]]) 13:22, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

==={{p|Shuckle}} and [[Berry Juice]]===

* How long does it take a shuckle to convert a berry into berry juice?
* How long does it then take to convert berry juice into rare candy?
* In which generations can berry juice and/or rare candies be obtained in this way?
* Is obtaining rare candies from shuckles even possible at all, or is it just a rumor?
* What kinds of berries can be converted into juice? Normal berries from Generation II can, of course, and the page for [[Oran Berry|Oran Berries]] say that they can be converted as well. Are there any others?

And so forth. --[[User:Minimiscience|Minimiscience]] 23:29, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

-It doesn't work in generation IV. I can say that for certain, as I tried and even after days, my Shuckle still held an Oran Berry. Last I heard, it takes 24 hours to get Berry Juice in generation II, then another 24 hours to get a Rare Candy. However, I can't say this for certain --[[User:Shadowater|Shadowater]] 01:37, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

==={{a|Drought}} Vs. {{a|Drizzle}}===

When a Groudon, with Drought ability, and a Kyogre, with Drizzle ability, have a battle, does it rain or have bright sunlight? Do they cancel each other out? {{unsigned|Redriders180}}
:The ability of the faster Pokémon is activated first, the ability of the slower Pokémon is activated second. The slower Pokémon's weather condition would be in effect for the battle. <sc>[[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]]</sc> [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 03:02, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
I have another question; in double/triple battles, does the order in which the Pokémon are sent out affect which condition remains in effect?
:No, only speed determines the remaining weather. [[User:Pikiwyn|'''''Pikiwyn''''']] [[User talk:Pikiwyn|<tt>'''''talk'''''</tt>]] 23:33, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

===Critical Hits and Evasion===
Critical Hits ignore stat changes that would be disadvantageous to the user, but does this include boosts to the foe's evasion and drops to the user's accuracy? If so, then in what generations?
:According to the [[critical hit]] article, discrimination among stat changes only occurs when calculating damage, which accuracy & evasion have no effect on (unless there's some obscure move or ability that I don't know about). —[[User:Minimiscience|Minimiscience]] 04:21, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

===Badges boosting stats===
Apparently badges in Generations I-III boost stats. How do they boost them? --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 04:30, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

I don't know what generations this applies to, but the badges that are said to boost a certain stat give a 9/8 multiplier to that stat so if you had a pokemon with a speed stat of 8 and obtained a THUNDERBADGE, it would immediately rise to 9. Any pokemon caught will immediately be boosted in their respective stats as well. When a pokemon levels up or recieves EV-enhancing vitamins, the pokemon's stats ''without'' the badge-boost will be affected and then the boost will be re-applied to the enhanced stat(s). Also, the boost affects moves (and abilities like speed boost) that raise or lower stats, so if the aforementioned pokemon used agility to double its speed, it would add 9 for the double in speed and another 1 (rounded from 1.125) for the badge-boost affecting the extra nine added by the move. [[User:AJRubyVersion|AJRubyVersion]] 00:53, 6 February 2012 (UTC) *and credit to gamefaqs.com[http://www.gamefaqs.com] for the beginning information and getting me into studying this independently*
:Turns out Ultimate Pokémon Center has the info for each generation. In Gen I and II, the stat is multiplied by 9/8, and in Gen II this boost is ignored if the attack is a critical hit and the attacker's Attack/Special Attack stat stage is less than or equal to the opponent's Defense/Special Defense stat stage. In Gen III, the stat is multiplied by 1.1. From Gen IV onwards, there is no boost. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 09:15, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

===Trainers===
What is the formula/program trainers use to choose what to do? [[User:BanetteWobbuffet|BanetteWobbuffet]] 17:03, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

===Boost Calculation===

If a sat boosting move or ability, such as victory star or sand veil, is activated, how is it applied? for example, a victini uses inferno. inferno has 50 accuracy. does the boost add 10 percent to the 50, or add 10 percent of 50? [[User:Deoxys80|Deoxys80]] 18:19, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
:10% of 50. Inferno used by a Victini with Victory Star would have 55% accuracy. [[User:MetalMetroid997|MetalMetroid997]] ([[User talk:MetalMetroid997|talk]]) 06:52, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

===[[Pokérus]]===
:''Status: Q4 Answered''

* A Pokémon with Pokérus is traded between two games with the same time just before midnight. The players concluded trading after midnight. In this hypothetical situation, does a day pass until Pokérus is cured or does a Pokémon act like it was in the PC?
** (When answered) Is there a situation involving trading where the opposite result occurs?
* In Generation III, Pokémon with Pokérus [[Pokérus#After having the virus|that are deposited before midnight and withdraw after midnight can possible be cured]]. This question has been split into parts to separate the issues involved.
**In the scenario linked above, does this occur in other Generations?
**In the linked scenario, what happens when the player deposits the Pokémon after midnight and then leaves the Center?
**In the linked scenario, does this occur only in Centers or in all places with a PC?
* Also in Gen III, Pokérus can only be contracted in RSE. However, Pokémon can be traded with Pokérus to Colosseum and XD. Does Pokérus be spread through the party or does it act like FRLG?
* In Generation V, [[Talk:Pokérus#Apparently, GYM LEADERS can give you pokerus???|can a Pokémon obtain Pokérus after a battle with a Trainer]]?
* More for the future. Pokérus increases the rate of Double-Up Bags, but what is the exact increase?
Some questions based on the article, the article's talk page, and some thoughts that I had. --03:08, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
:I confirmed that you can get Pokerus from Trainer battles in Gen V (or B2W2 at least) in the same talk page section you linked... [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 03:35, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
::Sorry about that. When I saw that, I thought that you were assuming that it was possible based on the words, "it looks like," and due to somehow skipping the first paragraph. That was my mistake. --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 04:08, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
* Can Strains 0 and 8 be produced in [[Generation II]]? [https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/2fe0cbbb19df504723934f39473064033c64ef6f/engine/events/pokerus/pokerus.asm#L43-L58 Relevant z80 assembly], and a [https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/206616744180056065/1098164059192426526/Capture.PNG brief explanation from Kaphotics] for reference.
** Yes. 8 is intended with 30/255 odds, 0 is probably unintended with 15/255 odds. I verified this by taking the relevant code and replacing the random byte generation with a parameter and sweeping the possible random byte range. [[User:SNBeast|SNBeast]] ([[User talk:SNBeast|talk]]) 17:03, 20 April 2023 (UTC)

==={{a|Multiscale}}===

If a Pokémon with Multiscale is hit by a multi-strike move at full HP, does each hit do reduced damage, or only the first hit? This should be checked for both Generations V and VI, and the results posted on the Multiscale page.

*'''Answer''': Only the first hit.

===Using forgotten moves===

I have observed the following behavior in Alpha Sapphire (obviously, this would work with any pokemon, but some are specified here for clarity): In a double battle, Absol queues Strength and Vulpix queues Flame Burst; Absol uses its move first, knocking out Spinda, which gives enough experience for Vulpix to level up. Vulpix reaches level 36, at which it learns Flamethrower, and it forgets Flame Burst (the one it still has queued for use!) to replace it with Flamethrower. Then, when Vulpix's turn comes around, it still uses Flame Burst despite having just forgotten it!
My questions are these: Does this occur in any other generations, which ones, and is this sufficiently notable to get a mention on the Double Battle page or some other appropriate page? --[[User:Xolroc|Xolroc]] ([[User talk:Xolroc|talk]]) 02:43, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
::This is probably because it queues the move itself, not the move slot. [[User:APokemonTrainer|APokemonTrainer]] ([[User talk:APokemonTrainer|talk]]) 13:26, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

===Encounter rates===

The [[Running Shoes]] article mentions that running through [[tall grass]] increases the chance of being attacked. That line [[Special:Diff/1044876|was added]] before there was a dedicated games section, and I always thought that the "increase" is just an effect of the greater distance per time, and I found nothing official that supports the statement. So, is this really the case, and if so, by how much is the chance increased? By extension, is the chance increased (or even decreased) while riding a [[bicycle]]? [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 16:54, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
:There is an NPC in HGSS on Route 30 that says "''Oh! You're wearing the Running Shoes? They make you feel like you are flying, don't they? But beware of wild Pokémon and Trainers! When you run, the noise will attract them.''" --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 14:47, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
::UPC articles for the encounter rates in [http://upcarchive.playker.info/0/upokecenter/content/pokemon-ruby-version-sapphire-version-and-emerald-version-encounters.html Generation III] and [http://upcarchive.playker.info/0/upokecenter/content/pokemon-diamond-version-pearl-version-and-platinum-version-encounters.html Generation IV] do not list running shoes as influencing factor, but they do say that bikes '''decrease''' the encounter rates. I've checked the first two generations, where bikes seem not to influence the encounter rates. Running obviously doesn't, as it's not possible. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 13:44, 26 August 2017 (UTC)
:::Bikes [https://github.com/pret/pokeemerald/blob/master/src/wild_encounter.c#L480 do decrease] the encounter rate by 20% in Generation III.

===Confusion damage===
I've done some research on confusion and confusion damage, and it turns out that some of the usual damage modifiers do apply, based on the generation. However, there are details I am not willing to test myself, such as whether/when it considers {{m|Power Trick}}, {{a|Slow Start}}, or many more. I don't even think this is worth any template, but in case someone wants to go into such detail, I've hidden potential influencing factors within [[Confusion (status condition)|the article]] (probably not even all of them), and I'd appreciate anyone testing and getting rid of some question marks. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 10:08, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

===Remembering moves exclusive to a pre-evolutuon===
:''Status:Open''

So far we have divergent reports of a Pokémon that evolves knowing a move exclusive to the early evolutionary stage, forgets the move, and then is either able or unable to learn it again through the [[Move Reminder]]. We need to understand the exact circumstances that may render a Pokémon able or unable to remember a move fitting theese conditions. [[User:Suic12-|Suic]] ([[User talk:Suic12-|talk]]) 04:45, 30 June 2019 (UTC)

==[[Generation II]]==
==={{m|Mirror Coat}}===
:''Status: resolved''
The text below was in an HTML comment in the Gen II section of the Mirror Coat page. Someone should look into it and edit Mirror Coat as appropriate. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 04:41, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
<blockquote>
Editor's note: this section will require research for accuracy.

If the user is put to {{status|sleep}} or is {{status|freeze|frozen}} during the round that Mirror Coat is (or attempts to be) used, Mirror Coat's decreased speed priority will not be reset. Subsequently, it will only be reset on the turn after the user wakes up or is defrosted, or if the user switches out.

Mirror Coat can cause a critical hit, but the actual amount of damage dealt by it will not be altered by a critical hit. Mirror Coat will only counter the last hit of a multi-hit move and the last attack of a partial trapping move. Mirror Coat will always miss if called by {{m|Metronome}}.

Switching, full {{status|paralysis}}, and using a multi-turn move will not reset the last amount of damage done, allowing Mirror Coat to counter itself as well as self-inflicted recoil damage. However, if both active Pokémon use Mirror Coat during the same round, both attacks will fail. An attack absorbed by a {{m|Substitute}} can be countered for the amount of damage it would have done to the user had the user not had a substitute.
</blockquote>
:::That was apparently copied from {{m|Counter}} in Gen I. The first paragraph is irrelevant in Gen II, as is the majority of the other paragraphs. In Gen II, Mirror Coat works exactly as Counter does, except for the category. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 14:44, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

===Freezing and burning===
In Generation II, can you freeze Ice-type Pokémon and burn Fire-type Pokémon? More notably, can you do this with {{m|Tri Attack}}? --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 05:08, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
:http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/past-gens-research-thread.3506992/page-2 see the whole thread, as well as posts #36 and #37;
in generation 2, you can freeze ice types and burn fire types, however you can't do this with ice or fire type moves. Tri Attack does thus allow these things to happen. Note however that poison's handled differently; you can't poison a poison type in any generation, and steel types are immune to every attack that can poison apart from twineedle; due to the way the game handles this, twineedle can be used to poison steel types in generation 2. Also note that the whole of what I've just said applies to generation 1, apart from tri attack lacking any secondary effect, and steel not existing; in generation 1 this means that body slam cannot paralyse normal types! However I don't know about generation 2 whether it can or not, I've left a question in the thread and tagged a user likely to answer to find this out though. 18:41, 18 January 2015 (UTC) ~Piexplode
::Yeah, I'd heard about the Gen I Body Slam discovery, which is actually what caused me to ask this in the first place. In fact, I'd read that very thread, and must have overlooked that post. I know Twineedle poisoning Steel types has been known for a long time though.
::As for Body Slam in Gen II, I'd assumed it could paralyze Normal types due to [http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/normal-types-cannot-be-paralyzed-by-body-slam.3525371/#post-5945620 this hint in Stadium 2]. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 19:20, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

===[[Fossil]]s===
:''Status: Answered''
The [[Root Fossil|Root]] and [[Claw Fossil]]s are in the coding for {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, while the [[Old Amber]] and [[Dome Fossil|Dome]] and [[Helix Fossil]]s are in the coding for {{game|Emerald}}. What happens if they are obtained through hacking and taken to the [[Cinnabar Lab|Pokémon Lab]] on [[Cinnabar Island]] or [[Devon Corporation]] in [[Rustboro City]]? Can you obtain an {{p|Anorith}} in FireRed and LeafGreen? A {{p|Kabuto}} in Emerald?
*'''Answer:''' Coding shows that the game does not recognize them as fossils, so they will not be resurrected.
Ok, so what if you trade them over, equipped to a Pokémon, after receiving the National Dex?
*Not possible in [[Generation III]]. Fossils are [[key items]] in that generation, and key items have never been tradable.

===[[Shadow move]]===
:''Status: Answered''
Which stats do Shadow Moves rely on? Attack and Defense or Special Attack and Special Defense? [[User:Coffee|Chosen of Mana]] 17:52, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
*'''Answer:''' Moves that Physically harm the opponent (generally ones that make [[contact]]), like {{m|Shadow Rush}} and {{m|Shadow Blitz}}, are Physical moves and therefore rely on the Attack and Defense stats. Shadow moves that don't physically hit the opponent, such as {{m|Shadow Fire}} and {{m|Shadow Bolt}}, are Special and use the Sp. Attack and Sp. Defense stats. So, technically, Shadow moves were the first moves to be split between Physical and Special.

That brings up a new question: Which Shadow Moves rely on Attack and Defense? Which rely on Special Attack and Special Defense? - '''[[User:Coffee|Chosen]] of [[User talk:Coffee|Mana]]''' 01:29, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

===[[Shadow Pokémon]] Natures and IVs===
:''Status: Answered''
Do [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD|XD]] randomize Shadow Pokémon's IVs and Natures each time one of these Pokémon is encountered? Or these atributes are only generated the first time and they remain static for a given Pokémon for the remainder of the game (be it rematches if the Pokémon faints during the first encounter)? Does technical evidence about this matter exist?
:'''Answer:'''Shadow Pokémon are only generated the first time. Their [[personality value]] and [[IV]]s are saved to the memory (offset?) upon encounter, because the [[Snag List]] uses these values in conjunction with the species of the Pokémon to keep track of their status and location.

===Pokéblock character bytes===
:''Status: Answered''
{{OBP|Character encoding|Generation III|In the Generation III games}} (primarily RSE), the word "POKéBLOCK" is written with 5 bytes (in hex: <code>55 56 57 58 59</code>). The first two are easily PO and Ké, but for the last three bytes, there's no way to tell just from "BLOCK" which byte corresponds to what exactly. If someone could mod and play a ROM (or RAM) so that 0x58 shows up (isolated from 0x57 and 0x59) in a town sign or someone's dialogue or something and see what that byte produces, we could know for sure what each of the bytes is.

(And while we're discussing character bytes, it might be neat if someone checked all the characters that are currently "unused" bytes, just to see if a few coherent characters turn up. I suspect that "×" might be hiding somewhere (like shows up in the [[Bag]]), and I wouldn't be too surprised to find miscellaneous other characters that will print, even if they may have never been used.)

===Is HM01 Cut [[Permanently missable items|permanently missable]] in FRLG?===
:''Status: Answered''
In FRLG, the S.S. Anne is entirely replaced by the Seagallop after, I believe, obtaining the Tri-Pass. Then what happens if the player had traded over a Cut user to get the Lava Cookie, then never picked up HM01 from the ship captain afterward? Is HM01 permanently missed? (Following from this, is it then possible for the player to get permanently stuck in the first half of Kanto behind the Route 9 tree? This might require a complicated setup of deathwarps and more traded HM moves.) [[User:Blueapple128|Blueapple128]] ([[User talk:Blueapple128|talk]]) 02:24, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
:This is not possible because the S.S. Anne will only leave Vermilion City if the captain is healed; The boat can't be driven by a seasick captain. If the captain is healed, the player will receive the HM01, making it impossible for the boat to leave unless the player has the HM. {{unsigned|Go Rhyperior}} 21:51, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

:::When HM01 Cut is obtained from the captain, it turns on a flag that makes it so that the player leaving the S.S.

Anne at the port. {{unsigned|Kirbychu Showdown}} 16:30, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
::::This still doesn't answer the question (and is basically just restating the previous non-answer). You can obtain the Tri-Pass without obtaining HM01, as long as you trade in a Pokémon that knows Cut in order to progress to the point in the game where you get the Tri-Pass. If you have the Tri-Pass but have not obtained HM01, is it still possible to reboard the S.S. Anne and obtain HM01? If it isn't, that would make HM01 permanently missable. -[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 01:14, 11 December 2021 (UTC)

But when you return to mainland Kanto with Bill, then S.S.

==[[Generation IV]]==
===[[Pokémon breeding]]===
There's some oddity in the number of steps it takes to hatch an egg. The steps between egg hatches when holding multiple eggs is always divisible by 255 (minimum difference of 510), even if the steps between receiving them are not. It happens consistently when
*{{a|Magma Armor}} or {{a|Flame Body}} are on
*while holding multiple eggs from the same parents
*when some eggs are received while others are being held
There's probably a common counter for all eggs in the party, which, when it rolls over, decrements all egg counters by 1. However, this doesn't explain the "divisible by 255" part.
:Partial answer: [[Egg cycles]]. Just need to get persimmons from Smogon to adapt that into an article here. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 04:45, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

** Case A : The HP IV is passed on from either parent (1/6)
** Case B : The DEF IV is passed on from either parent (1/6)
** Case C : A Random IV is passed on from either parent (4/6)

* Step 2.
** Case A1 : The DEF IV is passed on from either parent (1/5)
** Case A2 : A Random IV is passed on from either parent (4/5)
** Case B1 : The DEF IV is passed on from either parent (1/5)
** Case B2 : A Random IV is passed on from either parent (4/5)
** Case C1 : The DEF IV is passed on from either parent (1/5)
** Case C2 : The same IV is passed on from either parent (1/5)

** Case C3B : The same IV from step 2 is passed on (1/4)
** Case C3C : A Random IV is passed on from either parent (2/4)

Okay now we can combine the steps.
* Case A1 - 3 stats (1/6 * 1/5 * 4/4) = 4/120
* Case A2A - 2 Stats (1/6 * 4/5 * 1/4) = 4/120

* Case B1A - 1 Stats (1/6 * 1/5 * 1/4) = 1/120
* Case B1B - 2 Stats (1/6 * 1/5 * 3/4) = 3/120
* Case B2A - 2 Stats (1/6 * 4/5 * 1/4) = 4/120
* Case B2B - 3 stats (1/6 * 4/5 * 3/4) = 12/120
* Case C1A - 2 Stats (4/6 * 1/5 * 1/4) = 4/120
* Case C1B - 3 Stats (4/6 * 1/5 * 3/4) = 12/120
* Case C2A - 1 Stats (4/6 * 1/5 * 1/4) = 4/120
* Case C2B - 2 Stats (4/6 * 1/5 * 3/4) = 12/120
* Case C3A - 2 Stats (4/6 * 3/5 * 1/4) = 12/120
* Case C3B - 2 Stats (4/6 * 3/5 * 1/4) = 12/120
* Case C3C - 3 Stats (4/6 * 3/5 * 2/4) = 24/120

A quick check with the calculator and thankfully it adds up to 120/120. Now combining the possibilities ...
* 3 Stats inherited 3 random
** A1 + A2B + B2B + C1B + C3C =
*** 4+12+12+12+24 =
****64/120
* 2 Stats inherited 4 random
** A2A + B1B + B2A + C1A + C2B + C3A + C3B =
*** 4+3+4+4+12+12+12 =
**** 51/120
* 1 Stat inherited 5 random
** B1A + C2A =
*** 1+4 =
**** 5/120

That makes an easier chart of
* 3 Stats = 8/15 or 53.333%
* 2 Stats = 17/40 or 42.500%
* 1 Stat = 1/24 or 04.167%

==={{a|Flash Fire}}===
;Status: Answered and added to the article
The current page says that Flash Fire will activate when the user is burned. However, Flash Fire nullifies Fire attacks, and thus the only moves that can possibly burn a Flash Fire user are {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} and {{m|Tri Attack}}. [[Flame Orb]] and {{a|Flame Body}} can also cause a burn.

'''The question''': Does a burn really activate Flash Fire, or did the contributor see an interaction between Will-O-Wisp and Flash Fire and interpreted it incorrectly?

Will-O-Wisp is possibly nullified, since it's a Fire move, and [http://www.gamespot.com/ds/rpg/pokemondiamond/show_msgs.php?topic_id=m-1-41882499&pid=925601 Google says] that Flame Orb does not get nullified, so the only case is Tri Attack. Does causing a burn with Tri Attack activate Flash Fire?

Burn does not activate Flash Fire. Tri-Attack, Flame Body, and flame orb, and being the victim of Synchronize/Psycho Shift)can cause burns while not being fire moves should the Pokemon with Flash Fire not be a Fire Type.(All legal Flash Fire Pokemon are Fire types, and thus Immune to burn anyways, which is probably why most would think burn activates it. Flash Fire can be put on Non-Fire types via Skill Swap, Role Play, Trace, or hacking). Similarly, Electivire, Jolteon, and Volt-Absorb Lanturn(As well as Ground Types) can still get Paralyzed by Non-Electric moves. [[User:JoeTE|Joe T.E.]] 18:36, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

If this applies to the forms of Shaymin and Giratina,it is probably because the forms aren't programmed into the Diamond and Pearl versions.In order to be able to interact with D/P,this has to be done.Therefore I find it safe to assume that Rotom will also reverse into it's normal form.
[[User:Uxie legend]] 15:46, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Shaymin's Sky Forme is allowed on Wi-Fi in some way. On the page for Platinum version, there is an image of a Wi-Fi battle with Shaymin's Sky Forme.

It's most likely a Local Wireless battle. The forme lockout only applies to Wi-Fi as of now. The alternate formes work fine using local wireless, even when playing against D/P users. The forms work in D/P by having Platinum sorta Patch D/P with knowledge of the items and stats(Though the sprites will look like their normal forme on the D/P user's end. This patching also makes Hypnosis have 60% accuracy over D/P's 70%). I've also seen people able to bypass the Wi-Fi forme lockout using cheats as well, so it has nothing to do with D/P incompatibilities[[User:JoeTE|Joe T.E.]] 18:15, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

I once did a Damage calculation where Solid Rock was considered to lower Super Effective Damage by 2/3rds(1.33 over 2x, and 2.66 over 4)(It was a Max Special Attack Kyogre in Rain using Water Spout on both Solid Rock Pokemon after having a 2.5 Increase to Special Defenses, and Light Screen up, with Camerupt and Rhyperior having Max HP and some Special Defense EV's as well, so that they would survive with about 1-10 HP left afterwards)and after testing it in actual gameplay, it did just as much damage as my calculator estimated it would. All my other calculations using the 2/3rds modifier usually matched up with gameplay to a T. I believe 2/3rds damage reduction is the accurate modifier.

:They can't NOT have stats. We just don't add them because it's not as relevant (that is, you can usually estimate their highest stats and such by what Pokémon it is). That said, I don't think this question even belongs on this page. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 15:47, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

==={{p|Kadabra}} and [[Everstone]]s===
Whenever I trade a Kadabra holding an Everstone, it evolves anyway. Is this intentional or just a glitch? Why does it happen? How far back does this even go? It's happened in Platinum and HeartGold. And of course, anyone who's traded for that Haunter in Snowpoint City knows that Everstones are SUPPOSED to stop trade evolutions from happening. - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno.

===Starter Pokémon in Amity Square===
What are the items and and rarities of things that can be found by the forms of the starter Pokémon in Amity Square in Platinum?

===Host Questions===
For the most part, if there's a discrepancy between versions (e.g. Hypnosis has 70% accuracy in D/P but 60% in Pt/HG/SS), the game uses the host version to settle the dispute (e.g. if Diamond is the host, Hypnosis has 70% accuracy; if Platinum is the host, it has 60% accuracy). However, I have a couple of other questions:
*If a Japanese and an English game link up, is this still the case? In [http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=648215&postcount=24 this post], it's stated that the English version always takes precedence, but he doesn't state which game is the host.
*Does the host still take precedence when "glitched" moves are involved? (e.g. The [[U-turn (move)#Effect|U-turn glitch]] only exists in Diamond/Pearl. If a Diamond player hosts, will the glitch still take effect on the Platinum game?) [[User:MagicBarrier|MagicBarrier]] 00:10, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

===Route 212===

What are the specific conditions that allow the player to pass through the north gate to Route 212? Currently the article states the following:
:''In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, the north gate, connecting with Hearthome City, is blocked off by a reporter and cameraman until the player visits Solaceon Town. In Pokémon Platinum, the pair will continue to block the path until Maylene is defeated.''
However, [[Talk:Sinnoh Route 212#Northern Gate|on the talk page]], one user notes that in Platinum it appears that accessing Route 212 from the east is sufficient to grant access to the north gate, even without defeating Maylene. Nerfie also pointed this out on the Bulbapedia Discord.

===Moods===
For the past four months I have tried to find out every single thing about following Pokémon and their moods. I have indexed every text file and organized them and I found Text 265, which contains every following Pokémon interaction. As a fun challenge I tried to get all of them, but there are over 700. I have gone in every area with every type of Pokémon and I still can't get some of them. They can't be unused, can they?
I was surprised that despite it being a pretty big feature and the most remembered gimmick in the game, no one has looked into it to see how it works. The scripts (which there are over 800 of them) don't seem to contain info about what the interactions are in each location, but I have mostly looked at the data associated with the maps.

As I see this is a hard question, I will ask a more specific one:
How do you get the "Pokémon is looking into the depths and shivering..." interaction?
You can get "Pokémon is staring into the depths…" on route 46 tall grass, but I have tried with multiple types and the interaction didn't appear

Is there anyone that researched this before? Is there a way to see where a string is used? And what are the odds for an interaction to appear? Or is it unique to a Pokémon? Please help.

I have terrorized other people on different forums and servers, including Bulbagarden, ProjectPokémon, the Bulbapedia Discord server and the pret server. The Bulbapedia discord figured out that each interaction modified a Pokémon's mood value, so I made a spreadsheet for some reason to index every interaction and mood value:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VsecjaMqt2pmcozipOtvd-bD0wSzE71QBZ1VVBXibXQ/edit?usp=sharing
You can find the mood value of a Pokémon in a save by using PKHeX, under OT/Misc, Extra Bytes, 0x87.

The Bulbapedia Discord also figured out some other very important stuff:
* Speaking with the Pokémon can send the mood both up, and down. It seems to cap at a value of 127.
* The bottom floor of Pokémon centers only let the pokemon react in two ways, "stretching out and relaxing {{unsigned|Bonciu}}

===Ring Target===

==={{a|Sheer Force}}===
Moves with effects beneficial to the user are boosted and the effect is nullified, while moves with negative effects receive no boost and still have the effect. Do moves with both positive and negative effects lose both effects, or only the positive effect?
:Moves with a ''percent chance'' to do something are generally boosted, even if that chance is 100%. So, Fire Punch (10% Burn), Sacred Fire (50% Burn), and DynamicPunch (100% Confusion) are boosted. Hammer Arm (Always lowers speed) and Brave Bird (Always inflicts recoil) are not Boosted.A good frame of reference is Shield Dust or Serene Grace - Sheer Force boosts the same list of moves.
:Reply: also, moves that have effects will no longer cause a certain effect after the move was used(for example, A fire punch executed holding a Life Orb will negate the 30% burn AND the Life Orb after move damage, most like Magic Guard). I dont know if this applies also to the Choice items. If anyone can confirm this, it would be appreciated

===[[Black City]]/[[White Forest]] trainers===
The trainers have individual set values (80/70 for the ones who are less likely to leave and 30/20 for those who are more likely to leave). Once Black City and White Forest are reached, talking to them/battling them adds ten points to their value counter. Do these characters cap at their original max value (80/70/30/20; meaning if you spoke to them for two weeks straight [140 points accumulated], then ignored them for five days, a character with a 20 point value would vanish), or do they obtain a surplus and stick around for as long as the gained points allow?

=== Evolution and Abilities in Gen VI ===
:''Status: Resolved''
[[Personality value#Ability]] says: ''In Generation VI, however, a Pokémon from an earlier generation will keep its original Ability slot even if it evolves.'' ...What does "Ability slot" mean?

I'm sure the original person who added that meant that, if a (say) {{p|Paras}} is transferred from Gen III (where its only Ability was {{a|Effect Spore}}) to Gen VI (where it has a second Ability, {{a|Dry Skin}}), if its personality value is odd so that it "should" have its (new) second Ability, it will still have Effect Spore after it evolves into Parasect (in contrast to Gen IV or V, when Parasect would have gotten its "proper" Ability, Dry Skin).

But the person's phrasing confuses me. Is Gen VI's mechanic simply to allow a Pokémon to keep an Ability as long as it can? That is, if a {{p|Venonat}} is transferred from Gen III (where its only Ability was {{a|Compound Eyes}}) to Gen VI (where it has a second Ability, {{a|Tinted Lens}}), if its personality value is odd so that it "should" have its (new) second Ability, will it evolve into a {{p|Venomoth}} (who has Abilities {{a|Shield Dust}} and Tinted Lens) with Tinted Lens like it "should" have, since it can't keep Compound Eyes? Or...would it keep its ''first'' Ability (its "Ability slot"?) if it evolves and end up with Shield Dust? (You can check if a Venonat "should" have its second Ability by test-evolving a Gen III Venonat in Gen IV or V. If it becomes a Venomoth with Tinted Lens, then you can reset the game and transfer the Venonat to Gen VI to test the same thing in Gen VI.) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 19:20, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
:Ability slot is supposed to refer to whether the Pokémon has its first or second Ability. So a Venonat caught it Gen III that has an odd personality value will evolve into a Venomoth with Tinted Lens in Generation IV and V; if that same Venonat is sent to Gen VI without evolving it, its Ability slot is stuck as the first slot (except using an Ability Capsule), so evolving it won't change the Ability slot to the second Ability Tinted Lens, but keep the same Ability slot resulting in Shield Dust. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 19:34, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

=== Gen VI deterministic first Egg? ===
It looks like the first Egg when two Pokemon are left at the Day Care is set, and only the second and later Eggs are actually random. (See [[Talk:Pokémon breeding#Gen VI first Egg deterministic?]].) This raises a few questions.
* Is this new to Gen VI?
* Is this at all variable? I.e., maybe there's a random factor, but maybe it only randomizes when a new day starts.
* Is it reliant on a "fresh" pair of Pokemon, or at least one "fresh" Pokemon? I.e., if one (or if both) have bred before, will the first Egg when they are left at the Day Care be random? Or is the logic that, ''any time'' two Pokemon are left at the Day Care, the first Egg will always be set and only the second and later Eggs will actually be random?
[[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 04:02, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
:The data of any particular Egg is completely random, but it is generated ''when the previous Egg is picked up''. So, for example, if you save, receive an Egg and check the IVs/Nature/Ability/etc., then reload from the save, the next Egg you receive will have exactly the same characteristics. It even works if the parents deposited are different the second time around; the offspring will still have the same IVs and Nature, as well as the same Ability slot. (I'm not sure how this interacts with the inheritance of Hidden Abilities.)

Does Grassy Terrain only halve the power of {{m|Earthquake}}, {{m|Bulldoze}}, and {{m|Magnitude}} when they are Ground-type moves?

I did the testing myself, using Normalize. On my Alpha Sapphire, I have a {{p|Spinda}} with {{m|Skill Swap}} and a {{p|Floette}} with {{m|Grassy Terrain}}. On my X, I have a {{p|Skitty}} with Normalize Ability and a {{p|Teddiursa}} that knows Bulldoze. Skill Swap is a must because the only Pokémon with Normalize are the Skitty family and they don't learn Bulldoze and company naturally.

Turn 1, Spinda uses Skill Swap on Skitty. Spinda gets Skitty's Normalize, giving it {{a|Contrary}}; Skitty's move does nothing (in this case {{m|Foresight}}). Turn 2, Skitty tags out to Teddiursa and Spinda uses Skill Swap on it, giving it Normalize in exchange for {{a|Pickup}}. Turn 3, Spinda tags out to Floette, and Teddiursa uses Bulldoze, reducing Floette's hp from 122 to 37 (85 damage). Turn 4, Floette sets up the Grassy Terrain while Teddiursa uses {{m|Sweet Scent}}, burning that turn. Turn 5, Floette uses {{m|Lucky Chant}}, effectively doing nothing, and Teddiursa likewise (another Sweet Scent). Turns 6 and 7, same story, and Floette's hp go back up to 65, ready for the next Bulldoze, with Grassy Terrain still in effect. Turn 8, the Bulldoze hits and Floette survives on 19 hp (46 damage).

That is, Grassy Terrain ignores the move's new type; it just checks whether the attack used is Bulldoze, Earthquake, or Magnitude. [[User:Pikachu25|Pikachu25]] ([[User talk:Pikachu25|talk]]) 04:31, 16 July 2016 (UTC)

[[User:JewelSatellite|JewelSatellite]] ([[User talk:JewelSatellite|talk]]) 05:36, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

::I have tested these situations, taking Delta Stream as the exemple. When a Pokémon with Delta Stream enters the battle, the ability only activates if the Pokémon is sent out in the active position, and won't activate just by rotating the Pokémon in. The only other way to activate Delta Stream is when a Pokémon recieves the ability in the middle of the battle (via {{m|Skill Swap}}, for exemple). If a Pokémon with Delta Stream is already on the field, and the ability is already in effect, sending out a second Pokémon with Delta Stream won't trigger the ability again, but having the second Pokémon in battle will keep the mysterious air current in effect even if the Pokémon that originaly created it loses the ability, is rotated out, switched out, or faints.

:I believe so. When you have Boxes you haven't unlocked yet, if you open the game in Bank, you can see them, but they're empty. I never tried putting Pokémon in those Boxes, however. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 05:17, 24 October 2017 (UTC)

===Low Kick and Variant Weight===
With Pokémon Let's Go, variant height and weight were introduced, Low Kick's description states that it works based on weight (unlike the original games).
My question is does it go by the Pokemon's weight, or the species average weight?
Also, as a side note, is there any research done on how variant height and weight are calculated? {{unsigned|IVsaur}}

It looks like LGPE uses the same variant formula as Pokemon GO (unsurprising since these games are supposed to be compatible with each other). I did some calculations based on the master code ripped from Pokemon GO, and matched them up with the with Serebii's [https://www.serebii.net/letsgopikachueevee/pokemonsize.shtml Pokemon size] page to verify:

Every Pokemon now has an average weight/height, and a standard deviation of weight/height. The standard deviation is exactly 1/8 of the average, except for Alolan Exeggutor, where it's 12.6% instead of 12.5% of the height (very minuscule difference, and the height ratio is still the same). (The standard deviations are in the [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pokemongo-dev-contrib/pokemongo-game-master/master/versions/latest/GAME_MASTER.json GO master file]). To get the extremes:

max/min_height = avg_height +/- 3.2 * stdDev_height = avg_height +/- 3.2 * (avg_height/8) = avg_height +/- 40%(avg_height)

max/min_weight = avg_weight +/- 5.6 * stdDev_weight = avg_height +/- 5.6 * (avg_weight/8) = avg_weight +/- 70%(avg_weight)

Priority

2026-04-21T21:31:50Z

Pinsplash: generation 4 priority for quick claw and custap berry. removing the notice; it's been here long enough and now is too vague to be appropriate imo.

'''Priority''' (Japanese: '''先制''' ''preemption'') is a characteristic of [[move]]s, such that any move with a higher priority than another will always be performed first. When two moves have the same priority, the users' {{stat|Speed}} statistics will determine which one is performed first in a {{pkmn|battle}}.

==Mechanics==
{{incomplete|section|needs=Do all changes to move priority take effect immediately in gen 8 onward?}}
Starting in [[Generation III]], each move has a hidden priority value in the game data, with values ranging from <tt>+5</tt> to <tt>-7</tt>. The vast majority of moves have the standard priority value of <tt>0</tt>. A move with a positive priority is a '''priority move''' (Japanese: '''先制攻撃''' ''preemptive attack''). Moves with a positive priority may also be referred to as having an increased priority<ref>[http://www.pokemon.com/us/strategy/perfecting-your-pokemon-party-in-2016/ Perfecting Your Pokémon Party in 2016! | Pokemon.com]</ref> and moves with a negative priority a decreased priority. In the fandom, moves that have the same priority are said to be in the same priority bracket.

Prior to [[Generation VIII]], in-battle changes to a move's priority did not start affecting turn order until the following turn; however, in [[Generation VII]], if [[Mega Evolution]] or [[Ultra Burst]] caused changes to an [[Ability]] that affected priority, those changes took effect immediately for the upcoming turn.

[[#Abilities that increase priority|Some Abilities]] increase the priority of certain moves. [[#Effects that block priority moves|Some moves and Abilities]] can prevent priority moves from being used; {{type|Dark}} Pokémon are also immune to {{a|Prankster}}-promoted priority moves.

Move priority is not affected by {{m|Trick Room}}, which only reverses the Speed-resolved order of moves within a priority bracket; moves with higher priority are still performed before ones with lower priority. [[#Effects that dictate precedence within a priority bracket|Some held items and Abilities]] also affect a move's resolution within its priority bracket (ignoring Trick Room), but not the priority itself.

===Special priority===
Certain events will always occur before any moves (besides {{m|Pursuit}}) can be performed. Starting in [[Generation V]], the messages for the activation of [[Quick Claw]], [[Custap Berry]], [[O-Power]]s, and {{a|Quick Draw}} are always shown before anything else. [[Recall|Switching out]], [[Rotation Battle|rotating]], using [[item]]s, [[Escape|escaping]], and the charging messages for {{m|Focus Punch}}, {{m|Beak Blast}}, and {{m|Shell Trap}} are displayed or performed next. In [[Generation IV]], the messages for Quick Claw and Custap Berry are shown next. {{Tera}}stallizing happens immediately afterwards. In [[Generation I]] only, NPC Trainers do not have priority when using items or switching, while in battles against other players, switching can be performed even if the other player hasn't made their move yet. In [[Generation II]], a [[wild Pokémon]] fleeing does not have its own priority and will instead use the priority of the move the Pokémon would have used had it chosen not to flee. In Generations II and [[Generation III|III]], players always switch  before NPCs do. In Generation III, if two players switch in the same turn, then 'player 1' will always switch before 'player 2' does. [[Mega Evolution]] and [[Dynamax]]ing generally occur at the beginning of a turn but after any switching has occurred; however, if a Pokémon is Mega Evolving or rotating in and then using {{m|Pursuit}} on a Pokémon that is switching out, the Mega Evolution or rotation always happens before the Pokémon uses Pursuit (and therefore before the other Pokémon's switch).

{{m|Pursuit}} is a special exception to the general rules of priority, due to its effect. [[Recall|Switching]] fundamentally happens before any moves can be performed, but when Pursuit is targeting a Pokémon that switches out, it will hit the Pokémon before it can switch, meaning that it will go before any other move, no matter its priority. If multiple Pursuits are targeting the same Pokémon and the Pokémon switches out, if the Pokémon [[fainting|faints]] before all of the Pursuits have executed, the remaining Pursuits will execute at their normal priority.

Additionally, [[#Effects that can break priority|a few moves and Abilities]] can cause a Pokémon to act outside of its normal priority.

===Abilities that increase priority===
These Abilities increase the priority of certain moves used by a Pokémon that has one of these Abilities.

[[File:Zoey Glameow Fake Out.png|thumb|250px|{{TP|Zoey|Glameow}} using {{m|Fake Out}} before {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} is able to attack in {{aniseries|DP}}]]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
In {{aniseries|PTS}}, priority is rarely mentioned, though priority moves such as {{m|Quick Attack}} are frequently used.

===={{aniseries|DP}}====
The concept of priority moves was first mentioned out loud in ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]'', where {{an|Brock}} commented on the subject while watching the [[Contest Battle]] between {{an|Dawn}} and [[Zoey]] in the final round of the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]], during which [[Zoey's Glameow]] used {{m|Fake Out}} and caused [[Dawn's Piplup]] to [[flinch]], making him unable to use {{m|Hydro Pump}}.

===={{aniseries|XY}}====
In ''[[XY093|All Eyes on the Future!]]'', {{an|Professor Sycamore}} explained how [[Olympia]]'s male {{p|Meowstic}}'s {{a|Prankster}} [[Ability]] allows his support moves like {{m|Light Screen}} to always go first.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
Priority was demonstrated a couple of times during the [[Masters Eight Tournament]] in {{aniseries|JN}}. In ''[[JN116|Pride of a Champion!]]'', [[Diantha]]'s {{p|Gourgeist}} outsped [[Lance's Gyarados]]'s {{m|Dragon Pulse}} with {{m|Shadow Sneak}}; in ''[[JN118|Battling as Hard as Stone!]]'', [[Ash's Pikachu]]'s Quick Attack went ahead of {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}'s {{p|Cradily}}'s {{m|Rock Blast}}; and in ''[[JN123|Bewitch, Battle, and Bewilder!]]'', {{an|Cynthia}} used her {{p|Spiritomb}}'s {{m|Sucker Punch}} to land hits on {{cat|Ash's Pokémon}} before they could attack.
{{-}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Chuck Machamp Vital Throw Adventures.png|thumb|150px|Chuck's Machamp using Vital Throw, a decreased priority move]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}====
The concept of priority was mentioned in ''[[PS161|Entranced by Entei]]''. After his {{TP|Blue|Rhydon}} had been hit by a {{m|Vital Throw}} from [[Chuck]]'s {{p|Machamp}}, {{adv|Blue}} acknowledged that Vital Throw is a move that lets the opponent attack first in exchange for {{cat|Moves that cannot miss|never missing}}.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* {{p|Hitmontop}} can learn more moves with non-zero priority than any other Pokémon, with 14 {{cat|increased priority moves}} and 2 decreased priority moves.
* All moves that have ever had -7 priority have the word "Room" in their names.
* No move has ever been assigned -2 priority despite higher priorities having been assigned.
* {{m|Endure}}, {{m|Roar}}, and {{m|Whirlwind}} are the only moves to have their priority changed twice.
* Because {{m|Focus Punch}} has a higher priority than {{m|Avalanche}}, {{m|Revenge}}, {{m|Dragon Tail}}, {{m|Circle Throw}}, and {{m|Counter}}, they are unable to break the focus of a Pokémon using Focus Punch. They and Focus Punch are therefore the only six attacks that can strike a Pokémon in the same turn as it successfully uses Focus Punch, without the use of {{m|Quash}} or {{m|After You}}.
** Because charging Focus Punch had a higher priority than switching in Generation III, if the player selected Focus Punch in a [[Double Battle]] then cancelled the selection, then switched that Pokémon out, it would still begin charging Focus Punch before switching. Its high priority also gave it the odd effect of occurring before the opponent used their items or other Pokémon were switched out.
* In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]], due to the different gameplay mechanics, damaging moves with increased priority in the core series games become moves that have a range of 2 tiles.

The '''Griseous Orb''' (Japanese: '''はっきんだま''' ''Platinum Orb'') is a type of [[held item]] introduced in {{game|Platinum}}. It boosts the power of {{t|Dragon}}- and {{type|Ghost}} [[move]]s when held by {{p|Giratina}}, and prior to {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, it would change Giratina into its {{fd|Giratina|Origin Forme}} while held. It is one of the [[Pokémon of myth orbs|orbs]] associated with the [[Pokémon of myth]].

|}
|}

===Effect===
====In battle====
{{incomplete|section|Do any games after Generation V allow a Pokemon transformed into Giratina to get the item's benefits?}}

====Generations IV to VIII====
If held by {{p|Giratina}}, it increases the [[power]] of its {{t|Dragon}}- and {{type|Ghost}} moves by 20%. Pokémon that {{m|transform}} into Giratina do not receive the power boost.<ref>[https://github.com/pret/pokeplatinum/blob/e9ee028a3174f088fa5bb30339e12e832807ef5c/src/battle/battle_lib.c#L6772 Transformed Pokémon explicitly not allowed to receive boost]</ref>

Unaffected by item negating effects (such as {{m|Embargo}} and {{a|Klutz}}). Item manipulating effects (such as {{m|Trick}} and {{m|Fling}}) cannot give Giratina a Griseous Orb or remove a Griseous Orb from Giratina.

====Generation IX====
The Griseous Orb is now affected by item manipulating and negating effects due to no longer causing Giratina to change form.

====Outside of battle====
From Generation IV to VIII, the Griseous Orb allows Giratina to remain in its {{fd|Giratina|Origin Forme}} outside of the [[Distortion World]]. In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, the [[Griseous Core]] must be held to transform Giratina into its Origin Forme instead.

In {{game|Platinum}} and {{v2|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, only Giratina can hold a Griseous Orb, and Pokémon holding a Griseous Orb cannot be [[trade]]d. From Generation V onward, these restrictions no longer apply.

==In animation==
[[File:Lustrous Orb anime.png|thumb|250px|The Lustrous Orb in {{aniseries|DP}}]]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|DP}}====
In ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training!]]'', ''[[Sinnoh Now]]'' reported that the Lustrous Orb—an item related to the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Palkia}}—was uncovered by archaeologists at the Celestic Ruins, near the [[Celestic Town Historical Research Center]].

In ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous!]]'', [[Professor Carolina]] was studying the Lustrous Orb, and was having the [[Adamant Orb]] transported there to be studied as well. Upon receiving word that the Adamant Orb had been stolen by [[Team Galactic]], the Lustrous Orb was put under heavy police protection by [[Officer Jenny]] and her officers. Professor Carolina later showed {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, {{an|Cynthia}}, and [[Cyrus]] the Orb's hidden away location for further examination. However, after [[Mars]] set off some explosives outside of the building, the door to the Orb room failed to reseal. While the group attempted to move the Lustrous Orb to another location, Team Galactic burst in and engaged the group and Cynthia in battle.

In ''[[DP097|Double Team Turnover!]]'', {{TRT}} succeeded in stealing the Lustrous Orb while [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguised as police officers]]. Ash, his friends and Team Galactic tried to get the Orb back, following Team Rocket to the Celestic Ruins. Cornered, Team Rocket threatened to have [[James's Carnivine]] swallow the item. [[Mars's Purugly]] suddenly jumped on Carnivine's head and grabbed the Lustrous Orb, allowing Team Galactic to get away with it. Back in the [[Team Galactic HQ]], the Lustrous and Adamant Orbs were shown being connected to some kind of machinery.

In ''[[DP098|If the Scarf Fits, Wear It!]]'', a picture of the Lustrous Orb appeared in an article in the [[Sinnoh Star]] that {{an|Brock}} was reading.

The two Orbs made a brief appearance at the end of ''[[DP150|Unlocking the Red Chain of Events!]]'', where Team Galactic was seen taking them to the [[Spear Pillar]], along with the [[Red Chain]]s. The Orbs reappeared in ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', where Cyrus placed them and the {{an|lake guardians}} around the ruins at the Spear Pillar. This process allowed him to call forth {{p|Dialga}} and Palkia, who were immediately taken under his control by the Red Chains. After Cyrus's attempt to create a new world had been foiled and Team Galactic was defeated, {{Gary}} secured the Orbs and decided to return them to Professor Carolina and the Celestic Research Center.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}====
The Lustrous Orb was briefly mentioned by {{adv|Platinum}} in ''[[PS416|Double Trouble with Dialga and Palkia VI]]''.

==In the TCG==
[[File:PalkiaMajesticDawn11.jpg|thumb|272x272px|Majestic Dawn Palkia]]
The Lustrous Orb is featured in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] as a held item on the [[Majestic Dawn (TCG)|Majestic Dawn]] [[Palkia (Majestic Dawn 11)|Palkia]] card. This held item works in the same fashion as a Poké-Body, in that the effect the item provides is active whenever the Pokémon is in play.

===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|DP}}====
The Adamant Orb debuted in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]'', in which {{TRT}} was tasked by [[Team Galactic]] to steal it from the [[Eterna Historical Museum]]. Team Rocket successfully made the theft, framing [[Nando]] in the process, but ultimately failed to get away with the orb.

In ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous!]]'', Team Galactic attacked a police plane transporting the Adamant Orb from [[Eterna City]] to [[Celestic Town]] and stole it. In ''[[DP097|Double Team Turnover!]]'', after both orbs had been stolen by Team Galactic, the [[Lustrous Orb|Lustrous]] and Adamant Orbs were shown being connected to some kind of machinery at the [[Team Galactic HQ]].

In these episodes, [[Cyrus]] explained his belief that the Adamant Orb is {{p|Dialga}} and that the Lustrous Orb is {{p|Palkia}}.

At the end of ''[[DP150|Unlocking the Red Chain of Events!]]'', Team Galactic was seen taking them to the [[Spear Pillar]], along with the [[Red Chain]]s. In ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', Cyrus placed them and the {{an|lake guardians}} in place around the ruins at the Spear Pillar. This process allowed him to call forth Dialga and Palkia, who were immediately taken under his control by the Red Chains. After Cyrus's attempt to create a new world had been foiled and Team Galactic had been defeated, {{Gary}} secured the orbs and decided to return them to [[Professor Carolina]].

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}====
The Adamant Orb was briefly mentioned by {{adv|Platinum}} in ''[[PS416|Double Trouble with Dialga and Palkia VI]]''.

==In the TCG==
[[File:DialgaMajesticDawn4.jpg|thumb|275x275px|Majestic Dawn Dialga]]
The Adamant Orb is featured in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] as a held item on the [[Majestic Dawn (TCG)|Majestic Dawn]] [[Dialga (Majestic Dawn 4)|Dialga]] card. This held item works in the same fashion as a Poké-Body, in that the effect the item provides is active whenever the Pokémon is in play.

The '''Metal Powder''' (Japanese: '''メタルパウダー''' ''Metal Powder'') is a type of [[held item]] introduced in [[Generation II]]. It boosts the {{stat|Defense}} stat of a {{p|Ditto}} that holds it.

===Effect===
====Generation II====
If held by a {{p|Ditto}}, increases its {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} by 50%, even when {{m|transform}}ed.

In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], Metal Powder only increases Ditto's Defense and Special Defense when it is not transformed.<ref>https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/gen-2-ps-development-post-bugs-here.3524926/page-17#post-9034110</ref>

====Generation III onward====
If held by a {{p|Ditto}}, doubles its {{stat|Defense}} stat. It does not work when Ditto is {{m|transform}}ed.

The stat boost now applies to Pokémon who have {{m|transform}}ed into Ditto.

===Effect===
====In battle====
====Generations II and III====
If held by a {{p|Pikachu}}, or a Pokémon {{m|transform}}ed into one, it doubles its {{stat|Special Attack}}. In {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal|}}, being transformed does not apply this benefit.

====Generation IV====
If held by a {{p|Pikachu}}, or a Pokémon {{m|transform}}ed into one, it doubles the [[power]] of its [[move]]s.

====Generation V onward====
If held by a {{p|Pikachu}}, or a Pokémon {{m|transform}}ed into one, it doubles both its {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}}. It is compatible with [[Cosplay Pikachu]], [[Pikachu in a cap]], and [[Gigantamax]] Pikachu.

====Outside of battle====
====={{game|Emerald}} onward=====
If held by either parent of a {{p|Pichu}} when the {{pkmn|Egg}} is produced, the Pichu that hatches will know the move {{m|Volt Tackle}}. From [[Generation VI]] onward, if a Pichu knows Volt Tackle this way (and was bred in Generation VI onward), it can be taught Volt Tackle again at the [[Move Reminder]] if it forgets the move.

===Pokémon: Magikarp Jump===
In [[Pokémon: Magikarp Jump]], Light Ball is a Friendship Item that is received as a reward after beating the Friend League. It summons {{p|Pikachu}} as a helper Pokémon.
{{-}}

== In the manga ==
=== Pokémon Adventures ===
==== [[Pokémon the Comic]] ====
With the revelation that [[Pibu]]'s Super Rising Thunder is actually [[Volt Tackle (move)|Volt Tackle]] in [[PSs2]], that means either [[Pika]] or [[Chuchu]] was holding a Light Ball.

==In the TCG==
[[File:LightBallAscendedHeroes191.jpg|200px|thumb|Light Ball in the TCG]]
{{main|Light Ball (Ascended Heroes 191)}}
'''Light Ball''' is introduced as a {{TCG|Pokémon Tool card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Mega Evolution Series (the Japanese MEGA Series). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|MEGA Dream ex}} subset before debuting in the English {{TCG|Ascended Heroes}} expansion, with artwork by [[Studio Bora Inc.]] Like its video game counterpart, the Light Ball card benefits the {{DL|Pikachu (TCG)|Pikachu ex}} it is attached to, making its attacks do 50 more damage to the opponent's Active {{TCG|Pokémon ex}}.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Because {{p|Pikachu}} cannot be found in the wild in [[Unova]], {{m|Thief}} and similar moves no longer permanently steal items held by Trainers' Pokémon from [[Generation V]] onward, and [[Poké Transfer]] does not transfer held items, the Light Ball cannot be obtained in [[Generation V]] outside of events. However, it is coded to be an item held by wild Pikachu, with a 1%{{tt|*|Dark grass only}}{{sup/5|BW}}/5%{{sup/5|B2W2}} probability.

A '''Soul Dew''' (Japanese: '''こころのしずく''' ''Soul Dew'') is a type of [[held item]] introduced in [[Generation III]]. From Generation III to {{gen|VI}}, it boosts the {{stat|Special Attack}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} of {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}}; from [[Generation VII]] onwards, it boosts the [[power]] of their {{t|Psychic}}- and {{type|Dragon}} [[move]]s instead.

Prior to Generation VII, it was banned from official tournaments, [[Random Matchup]], the [[Battle Subway]], the [[Battle Institute]], almost all [[Pokémon World Tournament|PWT]] tournaments, and the [[Battle Maison]]. In [[Generation III]] and {{gen|IV}}, if used in the [[Battle Tower]] or [[Battle Frontier]], Soul Dew's effect is nullified. With the change in effect in Generation VII, it is now allowed to be used in official tournaments, [[Battle Spot]], and [[battle facility|battle facilities]].

[[File:Soul Dew anime 2.png|thumb|left|225px|{{OBP|Latias|M05}} sight-sharing with {{OBP|Latios|M05}} while in Soul Dew form after his sacrifice]]
The Soul Dew appeared in the {{pkmn|movie}} ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias]]'', where it is used to guard [[Johto]]'s [[Alto Mare]]. It was given to an old couple in Alto Mare long ago after a {{p|Latios}} and a {{p|Latias}} saved the city from an evil force attacking it, and was subsequently hidden in the [[Secret Garden]].

In the movie, {{OBP|Annie|M05}} and [[Oakley]] searched for the Soul Dew as well as the two current Legendary guardians of the city, {{OBP|Latios|M05}} and {{OBP|Latias|M05}}. If the Soul Dew is attached to the [[Defense Mechanism of Alto Mare]], anyone using the device can drown the city in water, block all exits in the city, and awaken the [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]] {{p|Kabutops}} and {{p|Aerodactyl}} in the city museum. However, if it is used by someone with an evil heart, it will grow dark and eventually break.

During the climax of the movie, the original Soul Dew was destroyed, but a new one was created when Latios [[Death in the Pokémon world|sacrificed his life]] to save Alto Mare from a massive tidal wave, using his own spirit to create a replacement for the destroyed gemstone.

'''Soul Dew''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Trainer card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the Japanese e-Card Era. Released in the {{TCG|Theater Limited VS Pack}} half deck, it features an illustration by [[Hiromichi Sugiyama]]. This Trainer card allows the player to search their deck for a {{TCG|Pokémon}} with [[Alto Mare]] in its name and add it to their Bench; they may also move an {{TCG|Energy card}} from another of their Pokémon to the new Pokémon before shuffling their deck.

The '''Metal Powder''' (Japanese: '''メタルパウダー''' ''Metal Powder'') is a type of [[held item]] introduced in [[Generation II]]. It boosts the {{stat|Defense}} stat of a {{p|Ditto}} that holds it.

==In the core series games==
===Price===

{{ItemPrice|{{gameabbrev7|SMUSUM}} {{gameabbrev8|SwSh}}|N/A|{{PDollar}}500}}
|}
|}

===Effect===
====Generation II====
If held by a {{p|Ditto}}, or a Pokémon {{m|transform}}ed into one, increases its {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} by 50%, even when {{m|transform}}ed.

In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], Metal Powder only increases Ditto's Defense and Special Defense when it is not transformed.<ref>https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/gen-2-ps-development-post-bugs-here.3524926/page-17#post-9034110</ref>

====Generation III onward====
If held by a {{p|Ditto}}, or a Pokémon {{m|transform}}ed into one, doubles its {{stat|Defense}} stat. It does not work when Ditto is {{m|transform}}ed.

The '''Light Ball''' (Japanese: '''でんきだま''' ''Electric Orb'') is a type of [[held item]] introduced in [[Generation II]]. It boosts the stats of a {{p|Pikachu}} that holds it.

|}

===Effect===
====In battle====
====Generations II and III====
If held by a {{p|Pikachu}}, or a Pokémon {{m|transform}}ed into one, it doubles its {{stat|Special Attack}}.

====Generation IV====
If held by a {{p|Pikachu}}, or a Pokémon {{m|transform}}ed into one, it doubles the [[power]] of its [[move]]s.

====Generation V onward====
If held by a {{p|Pikachu}}, or a Pokémon {{m|transform}}ed into one, it doubles both its {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}}. It is compatible with [[Cosplay Pikachu]], [[Pikachu in a cap]], and [[Gigantamax]] Pikachu.

====Outside of battle====
====={{game|Emerald}} onward=====
If held by either parent of a {{p|Pichu}} when the {{pkmn|Egg}} is produced, the Pichu that hatches will know the move {{m|Volt Tackle}}. From [[Generation VI]] onward, if a Pichu knows Volt Tackle this way (and was bred in Generation VI onward), it can be taught Volt Tackle again at the [[Move Reminder]] if it forgets the move.

===Pokémon: Magikarp Jump===
In [[Pokémon: Magikarp Jump]], Light Ball is a Friendship Item that is received as a reward after beating the Friend League. It summons {{p|Pikachu}} as a helper Pokémon.
{{-}}

== In the manga ==
=== Pokémon Adventures ===
==== [[Pokémon the Comic]] ====
With the revelation that [[Pibu]]'s Super Rising Thunder is actually [[Volt Tackle (move)|Volt Tackle]] in [[PSs2]], that means either [[Pika]] or [[Chuchu]] was holding a Light Ball.

==In the TCG==
[[File:LightBallAscendedHeroes191.jpg|200px|thumb|Light Ball in the TCG]]
{{main|Light Ball (Ascended Heroes 191)}}
'''Light Ball''' is introduced as a {{TCG|Pokémon Tool card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Mega Evolution Series (the Japanese MEGA Series). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|MEGA Dream ex}} subset before debuting in the English {{TCG|Ascended Heroes}} expansion, with artwork by [[Studio Bora Inc.]] Like its video game counterpart, the Light Ball card benefits the {{DL|Pikachu (TCG)|Pikachu ex}} it is attached to, making its attacks do 50 more damage to the opponent's Active {{TCG|Pokémon ex}}.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Because {{p|Pikachu}} cannot be found in the wild in [[Unova]], {{m|Thief}} and similar moves no longer permanently steal items held by Trainers' Pokémon from [[Generation V]] onward, and [[Poké Transfer]] does not transfer held items, the Light Ball cannot be obtained in [[Generation V]] outside of events. However, it is coded to be an item held by wild Pikachu, with a 1%{{tt|*|Dark grass only}}{{sup/5|BW}}/5%{{sup/5|B2W2}} probability.

* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, it is possible to obtain a DeepSeaScale before obtaining the [[National Pokédex]], by either catching a wild {{p|Chinchou}} holding the item, or stealing one from it with a move such as {{m|Thief}} or {{m|Covet}}, despite there being no use for it at that point (outside of [[trading]]), as the item's effects only benefit {{p|Clamperl}}, which cannot be obtained before obtaining the National Pokédex.
** As the item's description mentions Clamperl, this is the only way to see the name of a Pokémon not present in the [[Johto Pokédex]] before obtaining the National Pokédex, outside of the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} (which only requires entering the [[Hall of Fame]], not obtaining the National Pokédex) and external communication with other games.

Cuttable plant

2026-04-03T18:01:01Z

Pinsplash: /* Trivia */ No. As it says on Gym, "These Trainers cannot be battled after the Gym Leader has been defeated, with the exception of those found in Driftveil Gym B2W2."

[[Image:HM Cut artwork.png|thumb|{{ga|Red}} ordering {{p|Farfetch'd}} to use {{m|Cut}}]]
'''Cuttable plants''' are a type of obstacle appearing in many [[core series]] games, commonly found on grassy [[route]]s and in or around [[forest]]s. To get past them, the {{player}} must use the help of a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to cut them down. They appear in [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} through {{gen|VI}} and in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, in which they can be cut down using the [[field move]] {{m|Cut}}, and in {{LGPE}}, in which they can be cut down using the [[Secret Technique]] Chop Down.

In Generations I through {{gen|V}} and in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, cuttable plants are small, skinny trees. In Generation VI, they are thorny bushes. In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, they are small plants but sprawl widely to obstruct the player.

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation I]], trees that had been cut down would regenerate if the game was saved and reset, even if the player was still in the area, allowing the player to {{DL|list of overworld glitches in Generation I|standing on a tree|stand on a tree}}. This was fixed in later generations.
* In Generation I, the minimum number of trees to cut to complete the main story is 5. This assumes that the player defeats [[Koga]] before [[Lt. Surge]], since [[Vermilion Gym]] can also be accessed with {{m|Surf}}.
** The tree on {{rt|9|Kanto}}.
** The tree in [[Celadon City]], which blocks the way to [[Celadon Gym]] (must be cut twice, since it regrows after reloading the map)
** The tree in Celadon Gym, which blocks the way to Erika (must be cut twice, since it regrows after reloading the map)
** Should the player [[black out]] due to {{status|poison}} damage while in the section with Erika, this tree only has to be cut once, lowering the number of required Cut uses to 3.
** In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, that number is 4, since the cut trees in Celadon Gym don't regrow until the player reenters. Cut must also be used to open the [[Dotted Hole]] door, should the player wish to do the {{i|Ruby}} and {{i|Sapphire}} quest, increasing the number of required Cut uses in the overworld to 5.

Pokérus

2026-04-03T17:49:18Z

Pinsplash: /* Infection and spread details */ incomplete template is not needed. this appears to be asking for info on how RNG works in general, when we already have RNG

{{spading|Pokérus}}
[[File:Pokérus Adventures.png|thumb|right|230px|Pokémon infected with Pokérus in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
The '''Pokérus''' (Japanese: '''ポケルス''' ''Pokérus'') is a {{wp|virus}}-like microscopic life-form that may attach to {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, first appearing in the [[Generation II]] {{pkmn|games}}. It is a beneficial mechanic that a Pokémon can obtain.

It has also been referred to as '''Pokémon Virus'''.<ref>''"[...] a mysterious (but non-threatening) Pokémon Virus, and much more!"'' - ''[[Official Pokémon Gold and Silver Adventure Guide]]'', page 8</ref>

==In the games==
Once a Pokémon has been infected with the Pokérus, it gains double the [[effort values]] from battling (e.g., fighting a {{p|Magikarp}} will give two {{stat|Speed}} EVs, rather than one). Effort points gained from [[Vitamin]]s and [[Feather]]s are not doubled. The infected Pokémon can infect other Pokémon with the virus for a period of one to four days. However, the Pokérus timer can be delayed by several methods, such as by placing the infected Pokémon in a PC Box.

While it is represented similarly to [[status condition]]s, the Pokérus is not a status condition, so it cannot be healed at a [[Pokémon Center]] or with any [[status condition healing item]].

Pokérus has a 3 in 65,536 (or approximately a 1 in 21,845) chance of being generated on one of the {{player}}'s Pokémon after a battle, making it rarer than encountering or hatching a [[Shiny Pokémon]]. If any of the player's Pokémon are infected, the Pokérus may spread among Pokémon in the player's party after any battle.

From [[Generation IV]] onward, the Pokérus became more accessible, with worldwide trading facilitated by [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]].

===Infection===
When a Pokémon is infected with the Pokérus, their status screen will display an icon indicating this special "status" the same way status conditions would be noted. If the Pokémon becomes affected by a status condition such as {{status|Sleep}}, the Pokérus icon will be temporarily replaced until the status condition is cured. As long as the Pokémon is infected with the Pokérus, it can spread the virus to other Pokémon in the player's party.

The Pokérus may spread if an infected Pokémon is in the player's party after a battle. The Pokérus may only spread to a Pokémon directly adjacent to an already infected Pokémon, and only if they have never had Pokérus before. {{pkmn|Egg}}s may catch the Pokérus like any other Pokémon.

Pokémon in this stage are described as being '''infected with Pokérus''' (Japanese: '''ポケルスがついている''' ''has Pokérus'') in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] or as being a '''Pokérus-infected Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''ポケルスかんせんちゅう''' ''currently infected with Pokérus'') in [[Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire]].

===Becoming cured===
A Pokérus infection only progresses towards cured status when a new day starts with the infected Pokémon in the party (or if, when the game is loaded, it is not the same day as it was when the game was saved). The number of days before a Pokémon will be cured of the Pokérus can vary from one to four days. Once this time has passed, the Pokémon becomes cured and will be immune to the virus in the future. The Pokémon still gains double effort values when cured.

Due to the beneficial nature of the Pokérus, players will often place an infected Pokémon in the [[PC]] where it will keep the infection indefinitely, so that it may be withdrawn to spread the virus at will. Other options include putting a Pokémon in the {{pkmn|Day Care}} or sending it to {{pkmn|Stadium 2}} in [[Generation II]], {{g|Box Ruby & Sapphire}} in [[Generation III]], [[My Pokémon Ranch]] in [[Generation IV]], [[Pokémon Bank]] in [[Generation VI]] and [[Generation VII]], or [[Pokémon HOME]] in [[Generation VIII]].

In Generation III, if the player deposits an infected Pokémon inside a PC, saves inside a Pokémon Center prior to midnight, shuts off the game, resumes the game after midnight, withdraws the infected Pokémon from the PC, and exits the Pokémon Center, it is possible for the infected Pokémon to be cured of the Pokérus upon stepping outside of the building. This does not happen in any other generation.

In Generation VIII, the game will check on the next available random event increment after midnight. This can result in a Pokémon that was infected while in a box, and withdrawn directly after resuming the game from sleep, being subsequently cured of the Pokérus after the next battle or similar event.

====Technical information====
The Pokérus is stored in a Pokémon's [[Pokémon data structure|data structure]] as a single byte. In hexadecimal, this can be represented as a two-digit number '''XY'''. The upper 4 bits of the byte, '''X''', represent the specific strain of the Pokérus the Pokémon has contracted. The lower 4 bits, '''Y''', represent the number of days remaining before the infected Pokémon is cured of the virus.

A Pokémon is or has been infected if '''X''' (the strain) is a nonzero value. If '''Y''' (days remaining) is nonzero when '''X''' is also nonzero, this means the Pokémon is currently infected. If '''Y''' is 0 and '''X''' is nonzero, then the Pokémon is "cured" of the Pokérus. If both '''X''' and '''Y''' are 0, then the Pokémon has never been affected by the Pokérus.

Whenever the game's internal clock strikes midnight, every currently infected Pokémon in the player's party has their Pokérus value decreased by one. Once the '''Y''' value reaches 0, the Pokémon will be cured of the Pokérus.

Whenever the game creates the Pokérus on a Pokémon, the value assigned to '''Y''' (days) depends on the value assigned to '''X''' (strain). Specifically, the number of days will be set to '''X''' modulo 4 + 1. In other words, the higher two bits of '''X''' are irrelevant to the "strain".
{| class="roundy" style="text-align:center; border: 3px solid #A54ACE; background: #D67BFF"
! style="background: #EFA5EF; {{roundytl|5px}}" | Strain
! style="background: #EFA5EF" | X values
! style="background: #EFA5EF; {{roundytr|5px}}" | Duration (Y value)
|- style="background: #fff"

| style="background: #fff" | 3, 7, 11, 15
| style="background: #fff; {{roundybr|5px}}" | 4 days
|}

Whenever the Pokérus spreads from an infected Pokémon to a new Pokémon, the new Pokémon inherits the infected Pokémon's strain of the Pokérus ('''X''') and '''Y''' is copied directly from the infected Pokémon. As an example, if a Pokémon has the Pokérus with an '''X''' value of 7 and a '''Y''' value of 2 (2 days remaining before it will be cured) and it infects another Pokémon, the new Pokémon will be infected with Pokérus with an '''X''' value of 7 and a '''Y''' value of 2. Infecting other Pokémon does not reset the '''Y''' value to the default value for a given strain on the newly infected Pokémon, nor for the original host.

From {{game|Emerald}} onward, '''X''' values of 0 and 8 do not generate legitimately, as the [[RNG]] doesn't permit these values to generate. Additionally with a value of 0, upon being "cured" the Pokémon would appear to have never had the Pokérus at all.

===After having the virus===
Once a Pokémon's immune system has fought off the virus, they cannot spread it further, nor can it be spread to them by other Pokémon. In Generations II and III, a dot will appear on the Pokémon's status screen to indicate that they have had the virus previously, while in Generation IV and onward, it will be a small face. Though the virus is gone, the Pokémon will still gain twice the {{EV}}s it would have gained before the virus.

Pokémon in this stage are described as having '''recovered from Pokérus''' (Japanese: '''ポケルスがついたことがある''' ''had Pokérus before'') in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] or as being a '''previously infected Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''ポケルスこうたいあり''' ''has Pokérus {{wp|Antibody|antibodies}}'') in [[Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire]].

===Differences between generations===
====Generation II====
When the player first encounters the virus in one of the [[Generation II]] games, the [[Pokémon Center lady]] at the [[Pokémon Center]] will make note of it when the Pokémon is first healed after contracting it, saying that there are "tiny life forms" on the Pokémon. After leaving the Pokémon Center, [[Professor Elm]] will call the player to tell them that the virus has no effect and will wear off. A Pokémon with active Pokérus will list its status as such, and a Pokémon that has had the Pokérus and is cured will have a small dot near its HP meter on the status screen. At the end of a battle, the virus has a 1/3 chance to spread. If the infected Pokémon is adjacent to two Pokémon who have never had it before, one of them will catch the Pokérus. Pokérus can infect {{pkmn|Egg}}s as well. An indicator for Pokérus will not show up on the {{pkmn|Egg}}'s status screen, but once it hatches, it will appear under its status on the status screen like normal.

If a Pokémon with any stage of the Pokérus (active or cured) is traded to a [[Generation I]] game, or withdrawn from [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] by a Generation I game, all traces of that Pokémon having had the Pokérus will disappear. This is because a Pokémon's Pokérus status is not saved in any form in the Generation I games, thereby making it possible for a Pokémon to legitimately contract the Pokérus multiple times by trading it back and forth, once it becomes cured of a given infection. The only benefit of doing so would be to allow other Pokémon to contract the virus.

The Pokérus cannot randomly occur before the player has visited [[Goldenrod City]]<ref>[https://github.com/pret/pokegold/blob/74bffc2c8dd0b5b1873e51bc53e83177f35f7020/engine/events/pokerus/pokerus.asm#L19-L20 pret/pokegold: pokerus.asm lines 19-20]</ref> (but it may spread between Pokémon before then). If a Pokémon in the party has the Pokérus, other Pokémon cannot randomly contract it; they can only receive it from that Pokémon.<ref>[https://github.com/pret/pokegold/blob/74bffc2c8dd0b5b1873e51bc53e83177f35f7020/engine/events/pokerus/pokerus.asm#L7-L10 pret/pokegold: pokerus.asm lines 7-10]</ref>

====Infection and spread details====
The party is first iterated over to determine if any member has the Pokérus. For Pokémon with the Pokérus, the game checks if a random byte is less than 85 (1/3 odds) and if the party has multiple members, the spreader will randomly choose with equal odds to spread the Pokérus to the Pokémon above or below it in the party screen. If the spreader is the last party member, it will always spread upwards, however if the spreader is the first member in the party, it can still attempt to spread upwards, resulting in nothing happening. If the member being iterated over has an active infection, they are skipped over and become the new spreader. If the Pokémon has never had the Pokérus, they are infected. The '''Y''' value for an infection is generated from the '''X''' value as it is for a spontaneous infection, unlike in future games where it is copied. The iteration stops when a member is newly infected, when it reaches a cured member, or when it would be about to pass through the beginning or end of the party.

For Pokémon who have not been infected, the game first checks if the flag for having visited Goldenrod City is set, and terminates if not. Then, it checks if one random byte is equal to zero and another random byte is less than three (3/65536 odds), terminating if not. It then chooses a random party member by generating a random byte and keeping its bottom three bits (bitwise ''and'' with seven), rerolling until that number is a valid party index. If that party member has ever had the Pokérus, the code terminates. Otherwise, a random byte is rolled, rerolling if zero until not zero. This byte shall be represented as '''AB''' (not to be confused with registers A and B) in the same way that the Pokérus byte is represented as '''XY'''. If '''A''' is not zero, '''B''''s bottom three bits (bitwise ''and'' with seven) are copied as a four-bit value, incremented, and put into '''X''', and '''X''''s bottom two bits (bitwise ''and'' with three) are copied as a three-bit value, incremented, and put into '''Y'''. Otherwise, it is likely intended to copy '''B''' into '''X''', but, perhaps due to a misplaced load, zero is copied into '''X''' instead; '''Y''' is then derived from '''X''' with the same code as with '''A''' not zero, but since '''X''' is always zero, '''Y''' is always one. (If the misplaced load is placed in a more logical place, the '''Y''' value ends up always being one anyway, so there may have been more required effort to make the code work as intended.)

'''X''' values of zero and eight can occur naturally: the latter is as designed, the former is due to the above bug. Due to this bug, an '''X''' value above eight cannot occur naturally. Probabilities of each strain is as follows:

{| class="roundy" style="text-align:center; border: 3px solid #A54ACE; background: #D67BFF"
! style="background: #EFA5EF" | X values
! style="background: #EFA5EF; {{roundytr|5px}}" | Chance to occur
|- style="background: #fff"
| 0 || 15/255 (5.88235%)
|- style="background: #fff"
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 || 30/255 (11.76471%)
|-
| style="background: #fff; {{roundybl|5px}}" | 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15
| style="background: #fff; {{roundybr|5px}}" | 0/255 (Cannot naturally occur)
|}

====Generation III====
The Pokérus can only be contracted or cured in {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. In {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, as well as {{pkmn|Colosseum}} and {{Pokémon XD}}, since the [[time]] function is absent, a Pokémon with the Pokérus will keep it indefinitely (it can't spread the Pokérus, either), until it is transferred to the [[Hoenn]]-based games. When a Pokémon can spread the Pokérus, it has a 1/3 chance to spread it to both adjacent Pokémon.

Otherwise, the Pokérus operates in much the same way as in Generation II, but it is now possible for the Pokérus to be randomly contracted even when another Pokémon in the party already has it (and the Pokérus can spread after the same battle where it was contracted)<ref>[https://github.com/pret/pokeruby/blob/a3228d4c86494ee25aff60fc037805ddc1d47d32/src/battle_main.c#L5125-L5129 pret/pokeruby: battle_main.c lines 5125-5129]</ref>, and there is no location requirement before the Pokérus can randomly be contracted. Eggs infected with Pokérus will now indicate as such.

In {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}} only<ref>[https://github.com/pret/pokeruby/blob/a3228d4c86494ee25aff60fc037805ddc1d47d32/src/pokemon_3.c#L835-L853 Pokerus Logic in Ruby Disassembly]</ref>, '''X''' values of 0 and 8 do occur naturally, whereas in {{g|Emerald}} onward, the RNG does not allow them to occur at all. The following is the chance to obtain each strain in Ruby and Sapphire:
{| class="roundy" style="text-align:center; border: 3px solid #A54ACE; background: #D67BFF"
! style="background: #EFA5EF" | X values
! style="background: #EFA5EF; {{roundytr|5px}}" | Chance to occur
|- style="background: #fff"
| 0 || 30/255 (11.76470%)
|- style="background: #fff"
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 || 31/255 (12.15686%)
|-
| style="background: #fff; {{roundybl|5px}}" | 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15
| style="background: #fff; {{roundybr|5px}}" | 1/255 (0.39215%)
|}

====Generation IV====
The mechanics remain the same from Generation III. Additionally, much like storage in {{g|Box Ruby & Sapphire}} and in the PC, storage in [[My Pokémon Ranch]] will keep a Pokémon's Pokérus status indefinitely. The Pokérus doubles the [[Effort value|EVs]] earned from [[Power item]]s.

In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, [[Professor Elm]] calls the player soon after healing their first Pokémon with the Pokérus to tell them that it has no effect and will wear off. If he is called back, he will claim that Pokémon will level up better with the Pokérus while infected.

====Generation V====
The mechanics remain more or less the same, but now the icon that appears if a Pokémon has previously had the Pokérus is pinkish in color instead of the former yellow/orange color.

====Pseudorandom number generation====
To determine if any Pokémon in the player's party is to be infected, the game calls the {{wp|Mersenne twister}} table to get a 32-bit random number, discards the lowest 16 bits, and then discards the highest two bits (a bitwise ''and'' with 0x3FFF). If this number is 0, the game will choose a Pokémon in the party to be infected.

To determine what party member is to be infected, the game takes another value from the Mersenne twister table, multiplies it by the party count, then discards the lowest 32 bits of the result. If this number is an Egg, the calculation is repeated. Otherwise, if that party member has already been infected, nothing else will happen.

If a Pokémon will be infected, the game takes the next value from the Mersenne twister table and discards the lowest 24 bits (if the lowest three bits of this result are all 0, another number is chosen). If any of the highest four bits are nonzero, the highest five bits are discarded. The resulting number will be '''X''', the Pokérus strain; the duration of the virus will be set to '''X''' modulo 4 + 1.

These calculations mean that the strains 0 and 8 will never occur, and that the remaining strains are biased towards the lower numbers (with 1 through 7 being much more common than 9 through 15).

{| class="roundy" style="text-align:center; border: 3px solid #A54ACE; background: #D67BFF"
! style="background: #EFA5EF" | X values
! style="background: #EFA5EF; {{roundytr|5px}}" | Chance to occur
|- style="background: #fff"
| 0, 8 || 0/224 (Cannot naturally occur)
|- style="background: #fff"
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 || 31/224 (13.83929%)
|-
| style="background: #fff; {{roundybl|5px}}" | 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15
| style="background: #fff; {{roundybr|5px}}" | 1/224 (0.44643%)
|}

====Generation VI====
In Generation VI, the Pokérus does not affect EVs gained from [[Super Training]]. However, it increases the rate of [[Double-Up Bag]]s that are received during the training regimen. The icon that appears if a Pokémon has the Pokérus has been changed to spell out the full word, while the cured icon uses a design similar to the Gen V icon, with the mouth and eyes having a white color.

====Generation VII====
During battle, a Pokémon's summary will display a "Pokérus" icon beside its name if it has the Pokérus. The icon remains after the Pokémon is cured. An Egg infected with the Pokérus does not have this symbol on its summary screen. It can still spread the virus normally, and the Pokémon that hatches from the Egg will immediately acquire the icon.

Pokérus is not present in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]].

====Generation VIII====
In [[Sword and Shield]], a Pokémon's summary screen will show the Pokérus icon along with full text saying "POKÉRUS" with the typical smile icon next to the text. When cured, this text is then removed and only the cured icon is shown. These icons are shown with the rest of the Pokémon's icons such as the origin mark and shiny status. In the PC, this text is removed regardless if the Pokémon is infected or cured, only showing the face icon matching the status of infection. It can be seen next to the Pokémon's type and shiny status.

In [[Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]], the Pokémon Center lady will tell the player that their Pokémon has been infected with Pokérus like in the original Diamond and Pearl games. The icon for the games is almost like how it was in Sword and Shield, except that the infected icon in the PC preview is contained in a pink box similar to how it is presented with text in the summary. The infection text in the Pokémon summary is written out as "Pokérus", with a capital P.

Pokérus does not appear natively in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]. It cannot be contracted naturally, nor can infected Pokémon spread the virus to other party members. It also cannot progress towards becoming cured, and is not displayed on status screens. However, an infected Pokémon transferred into Legends: Arceus from Pokémon HOME will still gain bonus EVs during battle, despite no visible indicators of being infected, cured, or gaining EVs while it remains in Legends: Arceus.

====Generation IX====
In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Pokérus no longer generates naturally, does not spread to adjacent [[party]] Pokémon, cannot be seen on a Pokémon's [[summary]], and does not provide double [[effort values]] during battle. However, the data itself is retained in the data structure of the Pokémon, and will remain stored with the Pokémon if [[transfer]]red from previous games via [[Pokémon HOME]] into Scarlet or Violet, despite no longer having any visible indicator nor in-game effects.

===Comments===
====Generation II====
=====Pokémon Center lady's comments=====
"''Your {{ScPkmn}} appear to have tiny life forms stuck to them. Your {{ScPkmn}} are healthy and seem to be fine. But we can't tell you anything more at a <sc>Pokémon Center</sc>.''"

=====Elm's explanation=====
''"Hello, <player>? I discovered an odd thing. Apparently there's something called <sc>Pokérus</sc> that infects {{ScPkmn}}. Yes, it's like a virus, so it's called <sc>Pokérus</sc>. It multiplies fast and infects other {{ScPkmn}} too. But that's all. It doesn't seem to do anything, and it goes away over time. I guess it's nothing to worry about. Bye!"''

====Generation III====
[[File:Pokerus screenshot RSE.png|thumb|right|240px|A player being told their Pokémon has caught the Pokérus]]
"''Your {{ScPkmn}} may be infected with <sc>Pokérus</sc>. Little is known about the <sc>Pokérus</sc> except that they are microscopic life-forms that attach to {{ScPkmn}}. While infected, {{ScPkmn}} are said to grow exceptionally well.''"

====Generation IV====
=====Pokémon Center lady's comments=====
"''Your Pokémon may be infected with the Pokérus. Little is known about the Pokérus except that they are microscopic life-forms that attach to Pokémon. While infected, Pokémon are said to grow exceptionally well.''"

=====Elm's explanation=====
When calling the player: "''Hello, <player>? I discovered an odd thing. Apparently there's something called <sc>Pokérus</sc> that infects {{ScPkmn}}. Yes, it's like a virus, so it's called <sc>Pokérus</sc>. It multiplies fast and infects other {{ScPkmn}} too. But that's all. It doesn't seem to do anything, and it goes away over time. I guess it's nothing to worry about. Bye!''"

When called by the player: "''Hello, <player>? It seems that {{ScPkmn}} that have been infected with <sc>Pokérus</sc> level up better. We're not quite sure why..."''

====Generations V-VIII====
"''Oh... It looks like your Pokémon may be infected with the Pokérus. Little is known about the Pokérus, except that it is a microscopic life-form that attaches to Pokémon. While infected, Pokémon are said to grow exceptionally well.''"

==In animation==
===''Pokémon the Series''===
====[[Pokémon Chronicles]]====
In ''[[HS08|Oaknapped!]]'', [[Dr. Namba]] explained to {{an|Professor Oak}} that the mysterious viral lifeform Pokérus is an important component of his Pokémon Power Acceleration Project (PPAP), a secret project that aims to infect Pokémon with the Pokérus to [[Evolution|evolve]] them at a faster rate. However, all of his specimens had died out. Professor Oak also explains that the term "Pokérus" was coined by combining the words "Pokémon" and "virus" together. Later, Professor Oak began researching about the Pokérus and [[Team Rocket]]'s true intentions of using it.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Platinum}}====
The Pokérus was featured in ''[[PS439|The Final Dimensional Duel IX]]'', when {{adv|Platinum}}'s team was discovered to have this virus and, as a result, became stronger. Her {{TP|Platinum|Froslass}}, {{p|Pachirisu}}, and {{p|Cherrim}} had it prior to being taken from the hospital, and it subsequently spread to the rest of her party. At the hospital, [[Daisy Oak]] and {{prof|Yanase Berlitz}} realized that the infection was, in fact, the Pokérus.

==Trivia==
* The Pokérus is an example of a {{wp|Mutualism (biology)|mutualistic}} {{wp|virus}}, in which both host and virus benefit.

Pinsplash: /* Differences between generations */ small changes to be easier to understand

{{spading|Pokérus}}
[[File:Pokérus Adventures.png|thumb|right|230px|Pokémon infected with Pokérus in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
The '''Pokérus''' (Japanese: '''ポケルス''' ''Pokérus'') is a {{wp|virus}}-like microscopic life-form that may attach to {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, first appearing in the [[Generation II]] {{pkmn|games}}. It is a beneficial mechanic that a Pokémon can obtain.

It has also been referred to as '''Pokémon Virus'''.<ref>''"[...] a mysterious (but non-threatening) Pokémon Virus, and much more!"'' - ''[[Official Pokémon Gold and Silver Adventure Guide]]'', page 8</ref>

==In the games==
Once a Pokémon has been infected with the Pokérus, it gains double the [[effort values]] from battling (e.g., fighting a {{p|Magikarp}} will give two {{stat|Speed}} EVs, rather than one). Effort points gained from [[Vitamin]]s and [[Feather]]s are not doubled. The infected Pokémon can infect other Pokémon with the virus for a period of one to four days. However, the Pokérus timer can be delayed by several methods, such as by placing the infected Pokémon in a PC Box.

While it is represented similarly to [[status condition]]s, the Pokérus is not a status condition, so it cannot be healed at a [[Pokémon Center]] or with any [[status condition healing item]].

Pokérus has a 3 in 65,536 (or approximately a 1 in 21,845) chance of being generated on one of the {{player}}'s Pokémon after a battle, making it rarer than encountering or hatching a [[Shiny Pokémon]]. If any of the player's Pokémon are infected, the Pokérus may spread among Pokémon in the player's party after any battle.

From [[Generation IV]] onward, the Pokérus became more accessible, with worldwide trading facilitated by [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]].

===Infection===
When a Pokémon is infected with the Pokérus, their status screen will display an icon indicating this special "status" the same way status conditions would be noted. If the Pokémon becomes affected by a status condition such as {{status|Sleep}}, the Pokérus icon will be temporarily replaced until the status condition is cured. As long as the Pokémon is infected with the Pokérus, it can spread the virus to other Pokémon in the player's party.

The Pokérus may spread if an infected Pokémon is in the player's party after a battle. The Pokérus may only spread to a Pokémon directly adjacent to an already infected Pokémon, and only if they have never had Pokérus before. {{pkmn|Egg}}s may catch the Pokérus like any other Pokémon.

Pokémon in this stage are described as being '''infected with Pokérus''' (Japanese: '''ポケルスがついている''' ''has Pokérus'') in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] or as being a '''Pokérus-infected Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''ポケルスかんせんちゅう''' ''currently infected with Pokérus'') in [[Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire]].

===Becoming cured===
A Pokérus infection only progresses towards cured status when a new day starts with the infected Pokémon in the party (or if, when the game is loaded, it is not the same day as it was when the game was saved). The number of days before a Pokémon will be cured of the Pokérus can vary from one to four days. Once this time has passed, the Pokémon becomes cured and will be immune to the virus in the future. The Pokémon still gains double effort values when cured.

Due to the beneficial nature of the Pokérus, players will often place an infected Pokémon in the [[PC]] where it will keep the infection indefinitely, so that it may be withdrawn to spread the virus at will. Other options include putting a Pokémon in the {{pkmn|Day Care}} or sending it to {{pkmn|Stadium 2}} in [[Generation II]], {{g|Box Ruby & Sapphire}} in [[Generation III]], [[My Pokémon Ranch]] in [[Generation IV]], [[Pokémon Bank]] in [[Generation VI]] and [[Generation VII]], or [[Pokémon HOME]] in [[Generation VIII]].

In Generation III, if the player deposits an infected Pokémon inside a PC, saves inside a Pokémon Center prior to midnight, shuts off the game, resumes the game after midnight, withdraws the infected Pokémon from the PC, and exits the Pokémon Center, it is possible for the infected Pokémon to be cured of the Pokérus upon stepping outside of the building. This does not happen in any other generation.

In Generation VIII, the game will check on the next available random event increment after midnight. This can result in a Pokémon that was infected while in a box, and withdrawn directly after resuming the game from sleep, being subsequently cured of the Pokérus after the next battle or similar event.

====Technical information====
The Pokérus is stored in a Pokémon's [[Pokémon data structure|data structure]] as a single byte. In hexadecimal, this can be represented as a two-digit number '''XY'''. The upper 4 bits of the byte, '''X''', represent the specific strain of the Pokérus the Pokémon has contracted. The lower 4 bits, '''Y''', represent the number of days remaining before the infected Pokémon is cured of the virus.

A Pokémon is or has been infected if '''X''' (the strain) is a nonzero value. If '''Y''' (days remaining) is nonzero when '''X''' is also nonzero, this means the Pokémon is currently infected. If '''Y''' is 0 and '''X''' is nonzero, then the Pokémon is "cured" of the Pokérus. If both '''X''' and '''Y''' are 0, then the Pokémon has never been affected by the Pokérus.

Whenever the game's internal clock strikes midnight, every currently infected Pokémon in the player's party has their Pokérus value decreased by one. Once the '''Y''' value reaches 0, the Pokémon will be cured of the Pokérus.

====Strains====
Whenever the game creates the Pokérus on a Pokémon, the value assigned to '''Y''' (days) depends on the value assigned to '''X''' (strain). Specifically, the number of days will be set to '''X''' modulo 4 + 1. In other words, the higher two bits of '''X''' are irrelevant to the "strain".
{| class="roundy" style="text-align:center; border: 3px solid #A54ACE; background: #D67BFF"
! style="background: #EFA5EF; {{roundytl|5px}}" | Strain
! style="background: #EFA5EF" | X values

| style="background: #fff" | 3, 7, 11, 15
| style="background: #fff; {{roundybr|5px}}" | 4 days
|}

Whenever the Pokérus spreads from an infected Pokémon to a new Pokémon, the new Pokémon inherits the infected Pokémon's strain of the Pokérus ('''X''') and '''Y''' is copied directly from the infected Pokémon. As an example, if a Pokémon has the Pokérus with an '''X''' value of 7 and a '''Y''' value of 2 (2 days remaining before it will be cured) and it infects another Pokémon, the new Pokémon will be infected with Pokérus with an '''X''' value of 7 and a '''Y''' value of 2. Infecting other Pokémon does not reset the '''Y''' value to the default value for a given strain on the newly infected Pokémon, nor for the original host.

From {{game|Emerald}} onward, '''X''' values of 0 and 8 do not generate legitimately, as the [[RNG]] doesn't permit these values to generate. Additionally with a value of 0, upon being "cured" the Pokémon would appear to have never had the Pokérus at all.

===After having the virus===
Once a Pokémon's immune system has fought off the virus, they cannot spread it further, nor can it be spread to them by other Pokémon. In Generations II and III, a dot will appear on the Pokémon's status screen to indicate that they have had the virus previously, while in Generation IV and onward, it will be a small face. Though the virus is gone, the Pokémon will still gain twice the {{EV}}s it would have gained before the virus.

Pokémon in this stage are described as having '''recovered from Pokérus''' (Japanese: '''ポケルスがついたことがある''' ''had Pokérus before'') in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] or as being a '''previously infected Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''ポケルスこうたいあり''' ''has Pokérus {{wp|Antibody|antibodies}}'') in [[Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire]].

===Differences between generations===
====Generation II====
When the player first encounters the virus in one of the [[Generation II]] games, the [[Pokémon Center lady]] at the [[Pokémon Center]] will make note of it when the Pokémon is first healed after contracting it, saying that there are "tiny life forms" on the Pokémon. After leaving the Pokémon Center, [[Professor Elm]] will call the player to tell them that the virus has no effect and will wear off. A Pokémon with active Pokérus will list its status as such, and a Pokémon that has had the Pokérus and is cured will have a small dot near its HP meter on the status screen. At the end of a battle, the virus has a 1/3 chance to spread. If the infected Pokémon is adjacent to two Pokémon who have never had it before, one of them will catch the Pokérus. Pokérus can infect {{pkmn|Egg}}s as well. An indicator for Pokérus will not show up on the {{pkmn|Egg}}'s status screen, but once it hatches, it will appear under its status on the status screen like normal.

If a Pokémon with any stage of the Pokérus (active or cured) is traded to a [[Generation I]] game, or withdrawn from [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] by a Generation I game, all traces of that Pokémon having had the Pokérus will disappear. This is because a Pokémon's Pokérus status is not saved in any form in the Generation I games, thereby making it possible for a Pokémon to legitimately contract the Pokérus multiple times by trading it back and forth, once it becomes cured of a given infection. The only benefit of doing so would be to allow other Pokémon to contract the virus.

The Pokérus cannot randomly occur before the player has visited [[Goldenrod City]]<ref>[https://github.com/pret/pokegold/blob/74bffc2c8dd0b5b1873e51bc53e83177f35f7020/engine/events/pokerus/pokerus.asm#L19-L20 pret/pokegold: pokerus.asm lines 19-20]</ref> (but it may spread between Pokémon before then). If a Pokémon in the party has the Pokérus, other Pokémon cannot randomly contract it; they can only receive it from that Pokémon.<ref>[https://github.com/pret/pokegold/blob/74bffc2c8dd0b5b1873e51bc53e83177f35f7020/engine/events/pokerus/pokerus.asm#L7-L10 pret/pokegold: pokerus.asm lines 7-10]</ref>

====Infection and spread details====
{{incomplete|section|needs=Description of the random byte generation algorithm, which is that used by other random byte-needing routines}}
The party is first iterated over to determine if any member has the Pokérus. For Pokémon with the Pokérus, the game checks if a random byte is less than 85 (1/3 odds) and if the party has multiple members, the spreader will randomly choose with equal odds to spread the Pokérus to the Pokémon above or below it in the party screen. If the spreader is the last party member, it will always spread upwards, however if the spreader is the first member in the party, it can still attempt to spread upwards, resulting in nothing happening. If the member being iterated over has an active infection, they are skipped over and become the new spreader. If the Pokémon has never had the Pokérus, they are infected. The '''Y''' value for an infection is generated from the '''X''' value as it is for a spontaneous infection, unlike in future games where it is copied. The iteration stops when a member is newly infected, when it reaches a cured member, or when it would be about to pass through the beginning or end of the party.

For Pokémon who have not been infected, the game first checks if the flag for having visited Goldenrod City is set, and terminates if not. Then, it checks if one random byte is equal to zero and another random byte is less than three (3/65536 odds), terminating if not. It then chooses a random party member by generating a random byte and keeping its bottom three bits (bitwise ''and'' with seven), rerolling until that number is a valid party index. If that party member has ever had the Pokérus, the code terminates. Otherwise, a random byte is rolled, rerolling if zero until not zero. This byte shall be represented as '''AB''' (not to be confused with registers A and B) in the same way that the Pokérus byte is represented as '''XY'''. If '''A''' is not zero, '''B''''s bottom three bits (bitwise ''and'' with seven) are copied as a four-bit value, incremented, and put into '''X''', and '''X''''s bottom two bits (bitwise ''and'' with three) are copied as a three-bit value, incremented, and put into '''Y'''. Otherwise, it is likely intended to copy '''B''' into '''X''', but, perhaps due to a misplaced load, zero is copied into '''X''' instead; '''Y''' is then derived from '''X''' with the same code as with '''A''' not zero, but since '''X''' is always zero, '''Y''' is always one. (If the misplaced load is placed in a more logical place, the '''Y''' value ends up always being one anyway, so there may have been more required effort to make the code work as intended.)

'''X''' values of zero and eight can occur naturally: the latter is as designed, the former is due to the above bug. Due to this bug, an '''X''' value above eight cannot occur naturally. Probabilities of each strain is as follows:

{| class="roundy" style="text-align:center; border: 3px solid #A54ACE; background: #D67BFF"
! style="background: #EFA5EF" | X values
! style="background: #EFA5EF; {{roundytr|5px}}" | Chance to occur

| style="background: #fff; {{roundybr|5px}}" | 0/255 (Cannot naturally occur)
|}

====Generation III====
The Pokérus can only be contracted or cured in {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. In {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, as well as {{pkmn|Colosseum}} and {{Pokémon XD}}, since the [[time]] function is absent, a Pokémon with the Pokérus will keep it indefinitely (it can't spread the Pokérus, either), until it is transferred to the [[Hoenn]]-based games. When a Pokémon can spread the Pokérus, it has a 1/3 chance to spread it to both adjacent Pokémon.

Otherwise, the Pokérus operates in much the same way as in Generation II, but it is now possible for the Pokérus to be randomly contracted even when another Pokémon in the party already has it (and the Pokérus can spread after the same battle where it was contracted)<ref>[https://github.com/pret/pokeruby/blob/a3228d4c86494ee25aff60fc037805ddc1d47d32/src/battle_main.c#L5125-L5129 pret/pokeruby: battle_main.c lines 5125-5129]</ref>, and there is no location requirement before the Pokérus can randomly be contracted. Eggs infected with Pokérus will now indicate as such.

In {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}} only<ref>[https://github.com/pret/pokeruby/blob/a3228d4c86494ee25aff60fc037805ddc1d47d32/src/pokemon_3.c#L835-L853 Pokerus Logic in Ruby Disassembly]</ref>, '''X''' values of 0 and 8 do occur naturally, whereas in {{g|Emerald}} onward, the RNG does not allow them to occur at all. The following is the chance to obtain each strain in Ruby and Sapphire:
{| class="roundy" style="text-align:center; border: 3px solid #A54ACE; background: #D67BFF"
! style="background: #EFA5EF" | X values
! style="background: #EFA5EF; {{roundytr|5px}}" | Chance to occur
|- style="background: #fff"
| 0 || 30/255 (11.76470%)
|- style="background: #fff"
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 || 31/255 (12.15686%)
|-
| style="background: #fff; {{roundybl|5px}}" | 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15
| style="background: #fff; {{roundybr|5px}}" | 1/255 (0.39215%)
|}

====Generation IV====
The mechanics remain the same from Generation III. Additionally, much like storage in {{g|Box Ruby & Sapphire}} and in the PC, storage in [[My Pokémon Ranch]] will keep a Pokémon's Pokérus status indefinitely. The Pokérus doubles the [[Effort value|EVs]] earned from [[Power item]]s.

In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, [[Professor Elm]] calls the player soon after healing their first Pokémon with the Pokérus to tell them that it has no effect and will wear off. If he is called back, he will claim that Pokémon will level up better with the Pokérus while infected.

====Generation V====
The mechanics remain more or less the same, but now the icon that appears if a Pokémon has previously had the Pokérus is pinkish in color instead of the former yellow/orange color.

====Pseudorandom number generation====
To determine if any Pokémon in the player's party is to be infected, the game calls the {{wp|Mersenne twister}} table to get a 32-bit random number, discards the lowest 16 bits, and then discards the highest two bits (a bitwise ''and'' with 0x3FFF). If this number is 0, the game will choose a Pokémon in the party to be infected.

To determine what party member is to be infected, the game takes another value from the Mersenne twister table, multiplies it by the party count, then discards the lowest 32 bits of the result. If this number is an Egg, the calculation is repeated. Otherwise, if that party member has already been infected, nothing else will happen.

If a Pokémon will be infected, the game takes the next value from the Mersenne twister table and discards the lowest 24 bits (if the lowest three bits of this result are all 0, another number is chosen). If any of the highest four bits are nonzero, the highest five bits are discarded. The resulting number will be '''X''', the Pokérus strain; the duration of the virus will be set to '''X''' modulo 4 + 1.

These calculations mean that the strains 0 and 8 will never occur, and that the remaining strains are biased towards the lower numbers (with 1 through 7 being much more common than 9 through 15).

{| class="roundy" style="text-align:center; border: 3px solid #A54ACE; background: #D67BFF"
! style="background: #EFA5EF" | X values

|-
| style="background: #fff; {{roundybl|5px}}" | 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15
| style="background: #fff; {{roundybr|5px}}" | 1/224 (0.44643%)
|}

====Generation VI====
In Generation VI, the Pokérus does not affect EVs gained from [[Super Training]]. However, it increases the rate of [[Double-Up Bag]]s that are received during the training regimen. The icon that appears if a Pokémon has the Pokérus has been changed to spell out the full word, while the cured icon uses a design similar to the Gen V icon, with the mouth and eyes having a white color.

====Generation VII====
During battle, a Pokémon's summary will display a "Pokérus" icon beside its name if it has the Pokérus. The icon remains after the Pokémon is cured. An Egg infected with the Pokérus does not have this symbol on its summary screen. It can still spread the virus normally, and the Pokémon that hatches from the Egg will immediately acquire the icon.

Pokérus is not present in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]].

====Generation VIII====
In [[Sword and Shield]], a Pokémon's summary screen will show the Pokérus icon along with full text saying "POKÉRUS" with the typical smile icon next to the text. When cured, this text is then removed and only the cured icon is shown. These icons are shown with the rest of the Pokémon's icons such as the origin mark and shiny status. In the PC, this text is removed regardless if the Pokémon is infected or cured, only showing the face icon matching the status of infection. It can be seen next to the Pokémon's type and shiny status.

In [[Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]], the Pokémon Center lady will tell the player that their Pokémon has been infected with Pokérus like in the original Diamond and Pearl games. The icon for the games is almost like how it was in Sword and Shield, except that the infected icon in the PC preview is contained in a pink box similar to how it is presented with text in the summary. The infection text in the Pokémon summary is written out as "Pokérus", with a capital P.

Pokérus does not appear natively in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]. It cannot be contracted naturally, nor can infected Pokémon spread the virus to other party members. It also cannot progress towards becoming cured, and is not displayed on status screens. However, an infected Pokémon transferred into Legends: Arceus from Pokémon HOME will still gain bonus EVs during battle, despite no visible indicators of being infected, cured, or gaining EVs while it remains in Legends: Arceus.

====Generation IX====
In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Pokérus no longer generates naturally, does not spread to adjacent [[party]] Pokémon, cannot be seen on a Pokémon's [[summary]], and does not provide double [[effort values]] during battle. However, the data itself is retained in the data structure of the Pokémon, and will remain stored with the Pokémon if [[transfer]]red from previous games via [[Pokémon HOME]] into Scarlet or Violet, despite no longer having any visible indicator nor in-game effects.

===Comments===
====Generation II====
=====Pokémon Center lady's comments=====
"''Your {{ScPkmn}} appear to have tiny life forms stuck to them. Your {{ScPkmn}} are healthy and seem to be fine. But we can't tell you anything more at a <sc>Pokémon Center</sc>.''"

=====Elm's explanation=====
''"Hello, <player>? I discovered an odd thing. Apparently there's something called <sc>Pokérus</sc> that infects {{ScPkmn}}. Yes, it's like a virus, so it's called <sc>Pokérus</sc>. It multiplies fast and infects other {{ScPkmn}} too. But that's all. It doesn't seem to do anything, and it goes away over time. I guess it's nothing to worry about. Bye!"''

====Generation III====
[[File:Pokerus screenshot RSE.png|thumb|right|240px|A player being told their Pokémon has caught the Pokérus]]
"''Your {{ScPkmn}} may be infected with <sc>Pokérus</sc>. Little is known about the <sc>Pokérus</sc> except that they are microscopic life-forms that attach to {{ScPkmn}}. While infected, {{ScPkmn}} are said to grow exceptionally well.''"

====Generation IV====
=====Pokémon Center lady's comments=====
"''Your Pokémon may be infected with the Pokérus. Little is known about the Pokérus except that they are microscopic life-forms that attach to Pokémon. While infected, Pokémon are said to grow exceptionally well.''"

=====Elm's explanation=====
When calling the player: "''Hello, <player>? I discovered an odd thing. Apparently there's something called <sc>Pokérus</sc> that infects {{ScPkmn}}. Yes, it's like a virus, so it's called <sc>Pokérus</sc>. It multiplies fast and infects other {{ScPkmn}} too. But that's all. It doesn't seem to do anything, and it goes away over time. I guess it's nothing to worry about. Bye!''"

When called by the player: "''Hello, <player>? It seems that {{ScPkmn}} that have been infected with <sc>Pokérus</sc> level up better. We're not quite sure why..."''

====Generations V-VIII====
"''Oh... It looks like your Pokémon may be infected with the Pokérus. Little is known about the Pokérus, except that it is a microscopic life-form that attaches to Pokémon. While infected, Pokémon are said to grow exceptionally well.''"

===''Pokémon the Series''===
====[[Pokémon Chronicles]]====
In ''[[HS08|Oaknapped!]]'', [[Dr. Namba]] explained to {{an|Professor Oak}} that the mysterious viral lifeform Pokérus is an important component of his Pokémon Power Acceleration Project (PPAP), a secret project that aims to infect Pokémon with the Pokérus to [[Evolution|evolve]] them at a faster rate. However, all of his specimens had died out. Professor Oak also explains that the term "Pokérus" was coined by combining the words "Pokémon" and "virus" together. Later, Professor Oak began researching about the Pokérus and [[Team Rocket]]'s true intentions of using it.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Platinum}}====
The Pokérus was featured in ''[[PS439|The Final Dimensional Duel IX]]'', when {{adv|Platinum}}'s team was discovered to have this virus and, as a result, became stronger. Her {{TP|Platinum|Froslass}}, {{p|Pachirisu}}, and {{p|Cherrim}} had it prior to being taken from the hospital, and it subsequently spread to the rest of her party. At the hospital, [[Daisy Oak]] and {{prof|Yanase Berlitz}} realized that the infection was, in fact, the Pokérus.

==Trivia==
* The Pokérus is an example of a {{wp|Mutualism (biology)|mutualistic}} {{wp|virus}}, in which both host and virus benefit.

Game move errors

Pinsplash: /* Pokémon Rumble series */

{{missing image|needs=missing some game images}}
In the {{pkmn|games}}, there will occasionally be a Pokémon that knows a '''move it cannot know''', commonly referred to as an [[Appendix: Fan terminology#Illegal|illegal move]], when owned by the player. It is unknown whether most of these are actual oversights on the part of the developers.

==Pokémon with unobtainable movesets in the core series games==
===Unobtainable for the generation===

Despite this, {{m|Haze}} and {{m|Double-Edge}} will be forgotten as usual, due to them also being present in the learnset via [[level]]-up.

====Unobtainable combinations of moves====
Breedable Pokémon in the {{egg3|Field}} that can be female can know any combination of [[Egg Move]]s, since those can be passed down with {{p|Smeargle}}. This also applies to {{p|Nidoran♂}}, as its female counterpart, {{p|Nidoran♀}}, can produce Nidoran♂ Eggs.

Due to mothers being able to pass down Egg Moves from [[Generation VI]] onward, all Egg Move combinations are possible from Generation VI onward.

| data-sort-value=GEN8.1 | [[Pokémon HOME]] '''(After transferring from Pokémon GO)'''
[[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] '''(Can be imported to Pokémon Sword and Shield)'''
| Alolan Vulpix and Ninetales transferred from Pokémon GO to Pokémon HOME from November 11 to November 16, 2020, erroneously use the level-up learnset of their Kantonian counterparts from [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], allowing them to learn the normally unavailable move Quick Attack. Alolan Vulpix and Ninetales in Pokémon HOME, Sword, or Shield with illegal moves had their moves replaced with moves from their level-up movepool on November 16, 2020, opening Pokémon HOME at any point after that date will cause HOME to search all Sword and Shield savefiles on the console and correct the illegal movesets.

Players who transferred an Alolan Vulpix or Ninetales with Quick Attack cannot trade or battle online with it unless that move is deleted. These erroneous Alolan Vulpix and Ninetales otherwise function like other Alolan Vulpix and Ninetales, with Alolan Vulpix from GO being able to evolve into an Alolan Ninetales.

Alolan Vulpix and Ninetales were unable to learn Quick Attack until the release of [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], where both learn the move starting at level 5, however they cannot exit Legends: Arceus and retain that move, as Pokémon HOME stores unique movesets for each compatible game. If deposited into {{g|Sword and Shield}}, it would gain four moves from its level-up movepool in Sword and Shield, losing access to Quick Attack.

| {{m|Trick Room}}
| data-sort-value=GEN9 | {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}
| In 5★ [[Tera Raid Battle]]s, female Indeedee has an identical moveset to its male counterpart, which erroneously included the move Trick Room, a move it could not normally learn. When caught, female Indeedee with Trick Room were permitted to be [[trade]]d online, and participate in the [[Battle Stadium]].

Additionally, while Female Indeedee 5★ raids were initially impossible to host online to other players (displaying an error message when attempting to join them), as of early December 2022 they began permitting other players to host them freely with Trick Room still present in the moveset, despite it still being an error move at the time.

This is currently the only instance of an error move obtainable by the player where the error was corrected by the developers simply allowing it, and eventually integrating it as a feature. As of v2.0.1 of Scarlet and Violet, instead of correcting the erroneous move, [[Game Freak]] instead patched the game to add Trick Room to Female Indeedee's [[TM]] learnset, effectively rendering it no longer an "error move". However, if the move is forgotten, it can not be relearned without using a TM.

====Unobtainable combinations of moves====
Breedable Pokémon in the {{egg3|Field}} that can be female can know any combination of [[Egg Move]]s, since those can be passed down with {{p|Smeargle}}. This also applies to {{p|Nidoran♂}}, as its female counterpart, {{p|Nidoran♀}}, can produce Nidoran♂ Eggs.

Due to mothers being able to pass down [[Egg Moves]] from [[Generation VI]] onward, all Egg Move combinations are possible from Generation VI onward.

While Poliwrath learns DoubleSlap at Level 1 in Generation I, it cannot be taught to a low enough level Poliwrath since no Move Reminder exists in Generation I and Poliwag evolves at Level 25.

In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], Poliwrath can be taught DoubleSlap at a low enough level from the Move Reminder and be traded back to Generation I.

===Pokémon GO===
In [[Pokémon GO]], several Pokémon may learn moves that they cannot learn in the core series games. While it is possible to transfer some Pokémon from Pokémon GO to [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], their moves are not transferred.

As part of the August 19, 2016 server update, all moves of that type were removed from their respective Pokémon's move pools. However, later updates introduced additional cases where Pokémon can have moves that they cannot know in the core series games.

The following table lists moves that have been removed from the Pokémon's permanent move pools. Unlike most other legacy moves, and with the exception of {{m|Stomp}} for {{p|Hitmonlee}}, these moves cannot be learned using an [[Elite Fast TM]] or [[Elite Charged TM]].

Due to the mechanics behind {{OBP|Shadow Pokémon|GO}}, the listed Pokémon will have {{m|Frustration}} as their Charged Attack as Shadow Pokémon and {{m|Return}} as their Charged Attack once purified, but these cannot learn either of these moves in the core series games.

As Frustration and Return have been traditionally moves that are available to all [[TM]]-compatible Pokémon and were TMs from Generation II to VII, all of the following Pokémon are either [[TM#Incompatible Pokémon|Pokémon that are incompatible with TMs]] in the core series games, or did not exist prior to [[Generation VIII]].

Freeze (status condition)

2026-03-20T09:32:43Z

Pinsplash: /* Generation III */ chance

:''Freeze redirects here. For unexpected freezes which prevent the game from continuing, see [[game freeze]]. For the Badge given by [[Brycen]], see [[Badge#Freeze Badge|Badge → Freeze Badge]]. For the location in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], see [[Mt. Freeze]].''
----
[[File:Frozen Pokémon.png|thumb|250px|[[Ash's Pikachu]], {{AP|Oshawott}}, and {{AP|Talonflame}} frozen in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
The '''frozen''' status condition (Japanese: '''{{ruby|凍|こお}}り''' ''Ice''), or '''ice''' prior to [[Generation IV]], is a non-volatile [[status condition]] that causes a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to be unable to make a move. It is the only status condition that does not have a [[move]] that will always cause it or an [[Ability]] that can cause it, and because of this, it is arguably the most uncommon. Prior to [[Generation VI]], it was abbreviated as '''FRZ''', or as '''Ic''' in {{g|Stadium 2}}.

It is associated with the {{t|Ice}} type, as the majority of moves that can freeze are of this type. Ice-type Pokémon are usually immune to being frozen, except for {{m|Tri Attack}} in [[Generation II]]. In [[Generation V]], Pokémon glow blue and stop moving when frozen.

==Effect==
Freezing causes a Pokémon to be unable to make a move for an indeterminate number of turns. The specifics vary between generations.

===Generation I===
Once frozen, a Pokémon cannot be thawed out in battle other than via the use of items such as an [[Ice Heal]], being hit by a damaging {{type|Fire}} move that can inflict {{status|burn}} (i.e. any Fire-type move except {{m|Fire Spin}}), or the opponent using the move {{m|Haze}}. While frozen, a Pokémon does not have the option of choosing which move it would use that turn.

In the Generation I handheld games, if a frozen Pokémon is defrosted before it would have moved that turn, it still uses a move that turn, even though it was not able to select a move that turn due to being frozen. Due to how the game determines which move to use, this can cause a [[List of battle glitches in Generation I#Defrost move forcing|variety of glitches]], including desynchronization during a link battle. If a frozen Pokémon uses a move with 0 [[PP]] on the same turn that it thaws out, {{DL|List of glitches in Generation I|Struggle bypassing|the PP of the move will roll over to 63 PP}}, and full [[PP Up]]s will be applied to it (if none had been previously) or a PP Up will be removed (if it had any PP Ups applied).

===Generation II===
A frozen Pokémon has a 25/256 (≈9.8%) chance of being thawed out at the end of each turn, regardless of whether the Pokémon attempted to act that turn (e.g. it was just switched in). Like sleep, a frozen Pokémon now can choose which move it will use if it thaws that turn. In addition, {{cat|Moves that thaw out the user|some moves}} can still be used by the frozen Pokémon while frozen (thawing it out in the process).

Pokémon cannot be frozen in [[harsh sunlight]], but harsh sunlight does not affect when an already-frozen Pokémon thaws.

In [[Generation II]] only, {{m|Tri Attack}} is capable of freezing {{type|Ice}} Pokémon and has a 1/3 chance of thawing a frozen target.

In Generation II only, if a frozen Pokémon enters the battle, its cry will not be heard.

===Generation III===
A frozen Pokémon has a 20% chance of being thawed out on each of its turns. An animation also shows up whenever a Pokémon is unable to move due to being frozen (in contrast to previous generations, in which it only showed up when freeze was inflicted).

All damaging Fire-type moves can now thaw a frozen target, regardless of whether or not they have a chance to burn; however, Fire-type {{m|Hidden Power}} cannot thaw a frozen target. Tri Attack can no longer thaw a frozen Pokémon.

While frozen, a Pokémon's {{a|Flash Fire}} Ability is disabled.

===Generation IV===
Fire-type Hidden Power can now thaw a frozen target.

A frozen {{form|Shaymin|Sky Forme}} {{p|Shaymin}} will revert to its Land Forme.

===Generation V===
Freezing no longer stops {{a|Flash Fire}} from working; if Flash Fire blocks the move, the Pokémon will not be thawed.

===Generation VI onward===
{{m|Scald}}, {{m|Steam Eruption}}, {{m|Scorching Sands}} and {{m|Matcha Gotcha}} can also be used to thaw a frozen target.

===Generation VIII===
====Pokémon Legends: Arceus====
In {{g|Legends: Arceus}} only, the freeze status condition is replaced with {{DL|Status_condition|frostbite}}, which inflicts damage equal to 1/16 of the Pokémon's maximum HP every turn, and reduces damage dealt by the frostbitten Pokémon's special moves.

=== Generation IX ===
As all moves with a chance to freeze are attacking moves, the [[Covert Cloak]] makes a Pokémon effectively immune to being frozen.

===Appearance===
In Generation V, a frozen Pokémon's sprite does not animate and glows blue.

==Causes==
===Moves===
Unlike other major status conditions, the freeze status can only be caused by Pokémon moves (rather than by Abilities or items), with those moves rarely causing it. Currently, no moves have freeze as a primary effect. The following are the moves that can cause the freeze status:

===Other causes===
Pokémon can be frozen by the {{tc|Gentleman}}'s {{p|Dusclops}} in the [[Battle Pike]], and by the [[Battle Arcade]].

==Curing==
In all [[generation]]s except [[Generation I]], freeze has a chance to be cured on its own on the frozen Pokémon's turn; it has a 10% chance in [[Generation II]], and 20% chance in all subsequent generations. Consequently, the frozen Pokémon may thaw out on the turn of freezing. Pokémon cannot be frozen in {{weather|harsh sunlight}}, but harsh sunlight has no effect on Pokémon that are already frozen.

Being frozen can be cured with the use of an [[Ice Heal]], a [[Pumkin Berry]] ([[Generation III]] only) and [[Aspear Berry]] ([[Burnt Berry]] in Generation II). In addition, like all other major [[status condition]]s, it can be cured by the items [[Full Heal]], [[Rage Candy Bar]], [[Lava Cookie]], [[Old Gateau]], [[Casteliacone]], [[Lumiose Galette]], [[Shalour Sable]], [[Big Malasada]], [[Pewter Crunchies]], [[Full Restore]], [[Heal Powder]], and [[Lum Berry]] ([[MiracleBerry]] in Generation II).

In Generations I and II, if a frozen Pokémon is hit by a damaging Fire-type move that can inflict a {{status|burn}} (i.e., every Fire-type move except {{m|Fire Spin}} and {{m|Hidden Power}}), it will be thawed; in Generation II, if a frozen Pokémon is hit by {{m|Tri Attack}}, it has a 1/3 chance of being thawed.

From Generation III onward, if a frozen Pokémon is successfully hit by a damaging {{type|Fire}} move, it will be immediately thawed; {{cat|moves that change type}} such as {{m|Weather Ball}} can thaw a frozen target if they are Fire-type, except {{m|Hidden Power}} in Generation III. From [[Generation V]] onward, Pokémon with the [[Ability]] {{a|Flash Fire}} will not be thawed by Fire-type moves, since they will not be damaged by them (prior to Generation V, Flash Fire cannot be activated while the Pokémon is frozen).

Starting in [[Generation VI]], if a frozen Pokémon is successfully hit by {{m|Scald}}, {{m|Steam Eruption}}, {{m|Scorching Sands}}, or {{m|Matcha Gotcha}}, it will be immediately thawed. However, if the Pokémon is immune to the move (e.g. due to {{a|Water Absorb}}, {{a|Levitate}}, or {{a|Sap Sipper}}), it cannot be thawed by it.

A frozen Pokémon can still use the moves {{m|Flame Wheel}}, {{m|Sacred Fire}}, {{m|Flare Blitz}}, {{m|Fusion Flare}}, {{m|Scald}}, {{m|Steam Eruption}}, {{m|Burn Up}}, {{m|Pyro Ball}}, {{m|Scorching Sands}}, and {{m|Matcha Gotcha}} while frozen; these moves will thaw the user out, then execute normally. They will thaw out the user even if they are [[Protection|blocked]], miss, deal no damage due an Ability like Flash Fire, or are prevented from being executed by {{m|Powder}}, [[Rain|heavy rain]], or extremely harsh sunlight; however, they cannot thaw out the user if they would fail (such as a non-Fire-type Pokémon using Burn Up).

The moves {{m|Heal Bell}} (unless the Pokémon has {{a|Soundproof}} as their Ability in Generations III and IV) and {{m|Aromatherapy}} remove the freeze condition from all Pokémon in the user's party. In Generation I only, using {{m|Haze}} cures the opponent from the freeze condition.

Pokémon with {{a|Natural Cure}} will be cured upon switching out and those with the {{a|Hydration}} Ability will be cured while it is raining. Pokémon with {{a|Shed Skin}} have a 1/3 chance of being cured every turn and Pokémon with {{a|Healer}} have a 30% chance of curing their allies.

If a frozen Pokémon gains the Ability {{a|Magma Armor}} while in battle, it will immediately thaw out. If Magma Armor is acquired outside of battle instead, it will immediately thaw out when sent into battle.

==Prevention==
A Pokémon that is currently {{type|Ice}} cannot become frozen, except in [[Generation II]] by {{m|Tri Attack}}. However, a frozen Pokémon retains this status condition even if it [[type change|gains this type]] in battle (or regains this lost type once it is switched out or the battle ends).

A Pokémon with {{a|Color Change}} can become frozen by an Ice-type move, because the Pokémon changes into the same type of the move after the status condition is inflicted.

Pokémon that have either {{a|Magma Armor}}, {{a|Comatose}}, or {{a|Purifying Salt}} as their Ability cannot be frozen.

A Pokémon with {{a|Shield Dust}} or holding a [[Covert Cloak]] cannot become frozen because the status condition only occurs as the [[additional effect]] of moves.

{{m|Safeguard}} and {{m|Misty Terrain}} (for grounded Pokémon) prevent any status conditions for five turns.

Pokémon cannot be frozen when [[harsh sunlight]] is active. However, it will not thaw Pokémon that are already frozen if it becomes active.

==Advantages==
In all core series games, the frozen status increases the [[catch rate]] of any given Pokémon by the same multiplier as [[Sleep (status condition)|sleep]].

==Other game effects==
In {{game|Emerald}}, when the player is inside the [[Battle Pyramid]], the types of Pokémon encountered on each floor follow a set of categories; one of these categories is Pokémon with moves that freeze.

==In the spin-off games==
==={{pkmn|Mystery Dungeon series}}===
Frozen Pokémon cannot take any action and are immune to all damage except Fire-type moves and Scald. Pokémon will otherwise thaw out after 4-5 turns{{sup/md|RB}}, 1-3 turns{{sup/md|TDS}}{{sup/md|SMD}}, or 3 turns{{sup/md|GTI}}. In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX}}, frozen Pokémon can be damaged normally, which also has a chance to remove the status.

In the original [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Rescue Team]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers]] games, Pokémon will unthaw before they can act rather than after, allowing them to retaliate. They also cannot be frozen on lava tiles (but can still be unthawed if forced onto one), and can be unthawed by {{DL|Seed|Blast Seed}}s.

Prior to {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, Pokémon could be frozen during harsh sunlight.

==={{pkmn|Rumble series}}===

Freeze ('''Frozen''' when inflicted in-game) is a negative status in the {{pkmn|Rumble series}}. A frozen Pokémon is unable to move or use any moves for roughly five seconds. However, if the affected Pokémon is controlled by a player, inputting movement or button commands will make the effect wear off faster, with a minimum duration of about two seconds. Frozen Pokémon are still, with ice crystals surrounding their body.

No types are immune to freeze, but Pokémon with the Adept, Ice Boost, or Steady [[Special Traits]] cannot be frozen, and those with the Reflector Trait will cause the user of the freeze-inducing move to become frozen instead if hit by one.

===Pokémon Conquest===
In [[Pokémon Conquest]], frozen Pokémon cannot take any action, but their [[Warrior]] can still use [[Warrior Skill]]s or items on their turn. At the start of each turn there is a chance of a frozen Pokémon thawing, and they may act normally during that turn. Freeze can be inflicted by Abilities and by Ice-type attacks, and Ice types are immune to freezing. Freezing can be cured by certain Warrior Skills, items, or by ending a Pokémon's turn on a [[status condition]]-curing tile of the battlefield, such as a Hot Spring or a Water Bucket.

===Pokémon Shuffle===
[[File:Shuffle Frozen.png|thumb|Latias is Frozen.]]
In [[Pokémon Shuffle]], a frozen Pokémon cannot use any [[disruption]]s, its disruption countdown is paused, and it takes 20% more damage from {{type|Ice}} Pokémon.

Freezing can be inflicted by Pokémon with the {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Freeze}} and {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Freeze+}} {{OBP|Skill|Shuffle}}s.

{{t|Fighting}}, {{t|Poison}}, {{t|Ghost}}, {{t|Steel}}, {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Electric}}, {{t|Psychic}}, {{t|Ice}}, and {{t|Fairy}}-type Pokémon are immune to being frozen.

==In animation==
[[File:Ash Buizel Ice Aqua Jet.png|thumb|250px|{{AP|Buizel}} frozen in {{aniseries|DP}}]]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
In {{aniseries|PTS}}, the frozen status is literally the same as in the {{pkmn|games}}; once a Pokémon is frozen, it can't move and is open to attacks. In some cases, a [[Battle judge|referee]] may call a frozen Pokémon unable to battle. When a frozen Pokémon is returned to its Poké Ball, the ice encasing the Pokémon is left behind while the Pokémon is recalled.

Freezing is one of the most common status conditions featured in the series, resulting often when a Pokémon gets hit by an Ice-type attack like {{m|Ice Beam}} or {{m|Blizzard}}.

===={{aniseries|OS}}====
In ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', {{Ash}}'s {{pkmn2|rental}} {{p|Meowth}} got frozen by an Ice Beam from the [[Pokémon League entrance exam instructor]]'s {{p|Vaporeon}}, ending the match in the instructor's victory.

Ash stayed up all night with Charizard to treat his injuries, winning back his [[Obedience|loyalty]].

In ''[[EP113|Viva Las Lapras]]'', a school of {{p|Lapras}} that [[Ash's Lapras]] belonged to froze all of [[Captain Crook]]'s {{p|Tentacruel}} with Ice Beam.

In ''[[EP237|As Cold as Pryce]]'', [[Ash's Phanpy]] was frozen and defeated by an Ice Beam from [[Pryce]]'s {{p|Dewgong}}. Later in the episode, Ash and Pryce entered a cavern and found [[Pryce's Piloswine]], who had become frozen after going into a blizzard to get medicinal herbs for its Trainer. It was then thawed out and revived thanks to Ash's Cyndaquil and Pikachu.

In ''[[EP238|Nice Pryce, Baby!]]'', during Ash's Gym battle against Pryce, Pryce's Dewgong froze Ash's Cyndaquil with Ice Beam. However, it thawed itself out by igniting the flames on its back.

In the [[Banned episodes|banned episode]] [[EP250]], [[Nurse Joy]]'s Jynx and {{p|Piloswine}} used Blizzard to freeze Jessie's Arbok and Wobbuffet, along with James's Victreebel. This allowed Pikachu to send them and Team Rocket blasting off with {{m|Thunder}}.

The force of the combined Blizzard sent them into Team Rocket, breaking them out of the ice.

In ''[[AG072|The Bicker the Better]]'', {{an|May}}'s Skitty froze multiple people and Pokémon with Blizzard on three separate occasions, with the first victim being [[Ash's Corphish]]. May tried to have Skitty thaw him out by summoning {{m|Ember}} via {{m|Assist}}, with the former move finally being summoned on the third try and freeing Corphish from the ice, but also leaving him injured from the Ember. The second instance occurred when Skitty tried to freeze Jessie for stepping on its tail but froze James instead; Skitty freed and damaged him along with Jessie with an Ember summoned by Assist. The third and final instance occurred when Skitty froze the Team Rocket trio and their Pokémon before they were simultaneously freed from the ice and sent blasting off by a Tackle from Skitty and a {{m|Crabhammer}} attack from Corphish.

In ''[[AG099|It's Still Rocket Roll to Me!]]'', [[Tate's Solrock]] was frozen and defeated by an Ice Beam from [[Liza's Lunatone]]. Later in the episode, Liza's Lunatone froze Team Rocket with an Ice Beam, allowing Pikachu to send them blasting off with Iron Tail.

The fifth time happened when Snorunt froze Jessie's Seviper and James's Cacnea before the latter two were broken out of the ice by a {{m|Thunderbolt}} from Ash's Pikachu, in turn sending them flying at Team Rocket and causing them to blast off. The sixth and final instance occurred at the near-end of the episode, when Snorunt, now under Ash's ownership, briefly froze Corphish before May had her {{TP|May|Combusken}} thaw it out with {{m|Fire Spin}}.

In ''[[AG114|Date Expectations]]'', Ash's Snorunt froze Team Rocket with its newly learned, although unmastered, Ice Beam.

===={{aniseries|DP}}====
In ''[[DP009|Setting The World On Its Buneary!]]'', Ash, his friends, and most of their Pokémon were all frozen by an Ice Beam from a then-{{pkmn2|wild}} {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}. They were later freed from the ice by a {{m|Poison Jab}} from [[Brock's Croagunk]], who had not been frozen.

Seeing Pikachu give his best efforts drove Buizel to switch places with Pikachu, but not before the Sea Weasel Pokémon thawed Pikachu's back out with {{m|Water Gun}}.

In ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]'', [[Dawn's Piloswine]] froze half of Ash's {{p|Grotle}} and most of {{AP|Gliscor}}'s face with {{m|Ice Shard}}{{tt|*|Ice Shard cannot freeze opponents in the games}}. However, Gliscor managed to use its newly-learned {{m|Fire Fang}} attack to thaw its face out and thaw the frozen half of Grotle's body. Piloswine later froze Team Rocket with Ice Shard and sent them blasting off twice: the first instance being its attempt to eat Team Rocket's sponge cake and the second instance occurring after it evolved into {{p|Mamoswine}}.

In ''[[DP113|Hold the Phione!]]'', multiple people and Pokémon were frozen with Ice Beam on five separate occasions: the first instance occurred when a {{p|Phione}} that Team Rocket captured briefly froze Jessie before James freed her with a chop. The second case happened when the same Phione froze Team Rocket when they tried to capture it again. Piplup ended up getting briefly frozen by Phione twice, with the third instance occurring after he tried to shake its flipper and the fourth case happening after it was hit with an Ice Beam that was meant for Buneary. The fifth and final instance occurred when Buneary and Phione froze Team Rocket with a joint Ice Beam before Pikachu sent the trio blasting off with a Thunderbolt.

In ''[[DP125|Battling a Cute Drama!]]'', [[Marilyn]]'s {{p|Shellder}} froze Team Rocket with an Ice Beam, allowing {{TP|Brock|Happiny}} to simultaneously break them out of the ice and send them blasting off with a {{m|Pound}}.

'''Blackthorn City''' (Japanese: '''フスベシティ''' ''Fusube City'') is a city located in northeast [[Johto]]. It is home to the [[Blackthorn Gym]], led by the [[Gym Leader]] [[Clair]], who specializes in {{type|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==Geography==
Blackthorn City is a large city with a fairly small population and two exits. To the north is the [[Ice Path]], and to the south is Route 45, Johto's longest vertical area that connects to the southernmost points of the region. In [[Generation IV]], a river from Route 45 crosses over into Blackthorn itself. According to a resident in Blackthorn, most residents hailing from the city end up being Dragon-type specialists (such as Clair and [[Lance]]) perhaps due in-part to the [[Dragon's Den]]. Due to its overall location within Johto, Blackthorn is depicted as a mountainous region, with many ledges that the player can only traverse on their way down.

In [[Generation II]], all of the houses in Blackthorn had distinct black grooves, including buildings such as the Gym and Pokémon Center. Grass only grows in the top half of the city, and it connected directly to Route 45 by a small path.

In [[Generation IV]], the city appears completely different. The area now has uniquely designed houses with what appears to be straw rooves, although buildings such as the Gym and Pokémon Center now appear the same as the rest within the region. Its overall layout is far more jagged than in Gold and Silver, complete with new obstacles such as broken tree trunks and large pointed stones, a stark contrast to the smoother stones that are now littered throughout the area. Grass and flowers now grow all throughout the edges of the city, especially when closest to the water. Frost appears to creep in from the entrance to the [[Ice Path]], which tints the grass a lighter green before transitioning into the darker color seen throughout Blackthorn. Both due to the further height elevation and accompanying river added in [[Generation IV]], a wooden bridge now connects the city to Route 45.

==Points of interest==
===Blackthorn Gym===
{{main|Blackthorn Gym}}
The Blackthorn Gym is the official Gym of Blackthorn City. It specializes in {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Clair]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her receive the {{Badge|Rising}}. It will be closed prior to Team Rocket's defeat because Clair is training in the [[Dragon's Den]]. After being defeated, Clair is so outraged by her defeat that she refuses to hand over the Rising Badge, forcing the player to go to the Dragon's Den before the Badge can be acquired.

===Dragon's Den===
{{main|Dragon's Den}}
A clan of masters of {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon have lived in the city for generations. The masters built the [[Dragon's Den]], a cavern with an underground lake that contains a shrine to Dragon Pokémon, as well as the elders of the Dragon clan. An Ace Trainer in the Pokémon Center claims that it's a special cave for Gym Leaders to train themselves. The entrance is located behind the Gym, across a small pond, while the main cavern seems to be located underneath the city itself. It is inaccessible before defeating [[Clair]] in the [[Blackthorn Gym]], as it is blocked off by a man in front of the cave, and then it must be traversed to finally obtain the {{badge|Rising}}.

Besides the strong {{pkmn|Trainer}}s that dwell within the cavern, the Master of the Dragon User Clan can be found here, and he will quiz the {{player}} on their attitude towards and treatment of their Pokémon. Correct answers will be rewarded, in {{v2|Crystal}}, {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|HeartGold|s}}, and {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|SoulSilver|s}}, with a {{p|Dratini}} that knows {{m|ExtremeSpeed}}. and [[Clair]] will visit to reward the player with the {{badge|Rising}} she refused to award in the [[Blackthorn Gym|Gym]], as well as {{TM|24|DragonBreath}}{{sup/2|GSC}} or {{TM|59|Dragon Pulse}}{{sup/4|HGSS}}.

In [[Generation IV]], Clair and Lance appear for a [[Multi Battle]] if the player and {{ga|Silver}} have already battled at [[Mt. Moon]]. Following this, Silver can be found here, contemplating his training on [[Time#Time-specific events|Tuesdays and Thursdays]].

===Move Deleter and Move Tutor===
The Move Deleter can be found in a house to the left of the [[Poké Mart]]. For no charge, he will make a Pokémon forget a [[move]] it knows. The Move Deleter's service can be used to delete moves exclusive to Generation II, so that Pokémon can be traded to a [[Generation I]] game via the [[Time Capsule]].

In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the move deleter shares his house with [[Johto]]'s [[Move Reminder]], who will teach a move the Pokémon was previously able to learn in exchange for a [[Heart Scale]]. There are also two Move Tutors: [[Wilma|one]] who will teach {{m|Draco Meteor}} to {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon, and another who will teach {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}}, and {{m|Hydro Cannon}} to the fully evolved {{t|Grass}}-, {{t|Fire}}-, and {{type|Water}} [[first partner Pokémon]], respectively. Like the Move Deleter, the tutors do not charge for their services.

==Development==
As of at least the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo|Spaceworld 1997 demo]], Blackthorn City did not exist, as the entire map did not resemble the final design for Johto at all. Another map from earlier in development was left in the final release of Gold & Silver, as well as Crystal, as Map '''2A:4C34'''.

This (and the larger map of Johto from this time period) shows that the Ice Path was not in the games until later in development, with an entrance to the city in the west from {{rt|44|Johto}} and [[Mahogany City]]. Additionally, the Dragon's Den does not appear to be present, though the overall idea for a vertically-oriented map seems to have been planned for some time. It's possible that the tower on the rightmost side of the map was related to Clair's eventual challenge before plans were changed, as the Blackthorn Gym is still present, just in the southeast of the map instead. Grass occupies the majority of the map layout unlike in the final, where it is relatively sparse compared to the dirt and rocks around the area, which are also missing in this build. Blackthorn's buildings also lack their unique roof designs at this time.

===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|GS}}====
Blackthorn City first appeared in ''[[EP251|Beauty is Skin Deep]]''. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} witnessed an age-old ritual performed by [[Clair]] at the Riverhead Falls, a waterfall that is also the source of Blackthorn's main river. In [[EP252|the following episode]], Ash took part in his [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}, but it was interrupted by {{TRT}}'s theft of the [[Dragon Fang]]. They chased the trio through the [[Dragon's Den]] to the [[Dragon Holy Land]]. Here, Ash reunited with his {{AP|Charizard}}. In ''[[EP254|Better Eight Than Never]]'', Clair and Ash restarted their battle, and Ash managed to earn his {{badge|Rising}}. He and his friends left the city in [[EP255|the next episode]], headed for [[New Bark Town]].

===={{aniseries|BW}}====
In ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]'', the plane {{an|Dawn}} was taking to [[Johto]] to compete in the [[Wallace Cup]] was mentioned to make a stop in Blackthorn City.

{{an|Iris}} visited Blackthorn City in [[BWS02]]. During her visit, she found out that a {{TP|Iris|Gible}} had been causing damage on the town by chewing off bits of benches, fountains, and such. Later, after saving Gible from falling off of a clock tower, Iris found out that Gible had wound up into the city by accident, and offered to take it away. She then met Clair, and together they took Gible to the Dragon Holy Land. After Iris's battle against Clair at the Blackthorn Gym, Gible appeared again, showing that it wanted to come with Iris. Accepting the offer, Iris then {{pkmn2|caught}} the {{pkmn|category|Land Shark Pokémon}} with a {{i|Poké Ball}}.

===={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}====
Blackthorn City first appeared in ''[[PS123|Debonaire Dragonair]]'', where Clair was seen {{pkmn|training}} at her Gym before heading to [[Dragon's Den]], where she encountered and battled {{DL|Legendary beasts (Adventures)|Suicune}}.

===={{MangaArc|Black & White}}====
In ''[[PS516|One Way or Another]]'', [[Iris]] revealed that Blackthorn City, also known as the [[Village of Dragons]], was her hometown. It was also where she had first met [[Drayden]], who had brought her to the [[Unova]] region to train.

==Trivia==
* The song '''[[Pokémon FireRed & Pokémon LeafGreen: Super Music Collection|Sevii Islands: Four & Five Islands]]''' is a remix of the song '''[[Pokémon HeartGold & Pokémon SoulSilver: Super Music Collection|Azalea Town]]''' from [[Generation II]], shared with Blackthorn City, that is played on [[Four Island (town)|Four]] and {{OBP|Five Island|town}}s in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
* In the English versions of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, if the {{p|Dratini}} in one of the houses is interacted with and the [[Coin Case]] is used immediately afterward, {{DL|Coin Case glitches|Dratini glitch|a glitch}} will be triggered. This causes the Coin Case's display to change to "''Which move?he pp of''" permanently, unless the game is rebooted without [[Save|saving]].
* Blackthorn City is similar to that of [[Unova]]'s [[Opelucid City]] in {{game|Black and White|s}}, with the fact that both of these cities house the final [[Gym]] of their respective regions (which is {{type|Dragon}} in both cases) and are the tenth cities that the {{player}} encounters.
* There is an error on the [[Trainer Tips]] sign in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. It says that [[wild Pokémon]] appear regularly when walking and not [[Running Shoes|running]] through [[tall grass]], when it is in fact the opposite.
** There is likely a missing word in the first line, and could have been meant to read as: "Wild Pokémon will appear ''less'' regularly if you don't run, but walk quietly in the tall grass."
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, [[Professor Elm]]'s phone call after obtaining the {{Badge|Rising}} is triggered specifically by re-entering Blackthorn City. If the player blacks out before leaving [[Dragon's Den]] while their last-used [[Pokémon Center]] was in a different place, Professor Elm will not call. However, he will call after [[Fly (move)|Flying]] to Blackthorn City or entering through [[Ice Path]]. He will still be expecting the player in [[New Bark Town]] if the call is avoided.

'''Sketch''' (Japanese: '''スケッチ''' ''Sketch'') is a non-damaging {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation II]]. It is the [[signature move]] of {{p|Smeargle}}.

==Effect==
{{MoveResearch|Does the sketched move start with full PP in all generations? Does copying Mimic/Transform after it fails due to sleep/paralysis/confusion/etc. work in games besides Ruby/Sapphire?}}
Sketch allows the user to learn the target's last move permanently, replacing Sketch in the process.

It bypasses {{stat|accuracy}} checks to always hit, unless the target is in the [[semi-invulnerable turn]] of a move such as {{m|Dig}} or {{m|Fly}}. Sketch is not affected by {{m|Protect}}, {{m|Detect}}, or {{m|Spiky Shield}}. Sketch will fail if used against a target protected by {{m|Crafty Shield}}.

Although they can be sketched, {{m|Aura Wheel}}, {{m|Hyperspace Fury}}, and {{m|Dark Void}} (starting in Generation VII) cannot be used in battle. These moves can only be used by {{p|Morpeko}}, {{p|Hoopa}} Unbound, or {{p|Darkrai}} respectively, or by a Pokémon that has {{m|transform}}ed into them.

These moves cannot be sketched: {{m|Chatter}}, {{m|Struggle}}, Sketch itself, [[Shadow move]]s, [[Z-Move]]s, and others depending on the generation.

===Generation II===
Sketch cannot be used to copy {{m|Transform}} or {{m|Mimic}}, and if used on {{m|Metronome}}, {{m|Mirror Move}}, or {{m|Sleep Talk}} it will copy the move called by those moves. Because the move fails if there is no target on the field (or the turn immediately ends in certain generations, such as [[Generation IV]]), {{m|Self-Destruct|Selfdestruct}} and {{m|Explosion}} also cannot be sketched.

Sketch will fail if:
* The move tries to copy a move the user already knows.
* The battle does not allow [[Experience|experience points]] to be earned (such as link battles or [[battle facility]] battles).
* The target is transformed.

If used by a transformed Pokémon, Sketch will allow the Pokémon to permanently learn the sketched move; this is known as the [[Sketch glitch]].

===Generation III===
Sketch no longer copies the move called by another move: It now copies {{m|Mirror Move}}, {{m|Sleep Talk}}, and {{m|Metronome}} (instead of the move called by them). {{m|Self-Destruct|Selfdestruct}} and {{m|Explosion}} can now be copied if their execution was unsuccessful due to a Pokémon with the {{a|Damp}} [[Ability]] on the field.

In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} only, Sketch can copy a move a Pokémon attempted to use, but failed to due to {{status|sleep}} or other [[status condition]]s. This allows the moves {{m|Mimic}} and {{m|Transform}} to be copied (which otherwise cannot be).

If the battle does not allow [[Experience|experience points]] to be earned (such as link battles or [[Battle Tower]] battles), any moveset changes caused by Sketch will be reverted at the end of the battle.

Sketch will fail if:
* Used by a transformed Pokémon.
* A Pokémon somehow uses it without having Sketch in its current moveset.

===Generation IV to VII===
Sketch can now be used to copy {{m|Mimic}} and {{m|Transform}} like any other move (without the need for the move to fail).

If powered up by a [[Normalium Z]] into Z-Sketch, the user's {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Defense}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, {{stat|Special Defense}}, and {{stat|Speed}} are raised by one stage each.

===Generation VIII===
====Pokémon Sword and Shield====
Sketch cannot be selected in a battle.

===Generation IX===
In Versions 1.0 to 2.0.2 of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Sketch could not be selected in a battle.

Starting with Version 3.0.0, Sketch is once again usable. Sketch can no longer copy {{m|Dark Void}} or {{m|Hyperspace Fury}}, nor can it copy the newly introduced moves {{m|Revival Blessing}}, {{m|Tera Starstorm}}, or the [[Starmobile]]s' signature moves. Despite being both inaccessible and unusable, {{m|Breakneck Blitz}} is also specified as a move that cannot be copied by Sketch.

Sketch targets the Pokémon in front and will copy their last used move, replacing Sketch with it. Sketch does not copy the Ginseng boost.

Sketch will fail if the target's last move had since been forgotten, or if it is Sketch or {{m|Struggle}}. In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Rescue Team]] series, Sketch cannot copy [[:Category:Moves that call other moves|moves that call other moves]] (except {{m|Sleep Talk}}, {{m|Snatch}}, and {{m|Mirror Move}}); although Sketch can technically copy itself if bounced back by {{m|Mirror Move}}. From [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], the move can now sketch moves that call other moves.

Sketch cannot be used in a {{OBP|Pokémon Tower|Mystery Dungeon}} in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|Adventure Squad]] series. In [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], Sketch will always fail when used against [[Gigantic Pokémon]], since they use completely different versions of the same move.

'''Sketch''' (Japanese: '''スケッチ''' ''Sketch'') is a non-damaging {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation II]]. It is the [[signature move]] of {{p|Smeargle}}.

==Effect==
{{MoveResearch|Does the sketched move start with full PP in all generations? Does copying Mimic/Transform after it fails due to sleep/paralysis/confusion/etc. work in games besides Ruby/Sapphire?}}
Sketch allows the user to learn the target's last move permanently, replacing Sketch in the process.

It bypasses {{stat|accuracy}} checks to always hit, unless the target is in the [[semi-invulnerable turn]] of a move such as {{m|Dig}} or {{m|Fly}}. Sketch is not affected by {{m|Protect}}, {{m|Detect}}, or {{m|Spiky Shield}}. Sketch will fail if used against a target protected by {{m|Crafty Shield}}.

Although they can be sketched, {{m|Aura Wheel}}, {{m|Hyperspace Fury}}, and {{m|Dark Void}} (starting in Generation VII) cannot be used in battle. These moves can only be used by {{p|Morpeko}}, {{p|Hoopa}} Unbound, or {{p|Darkrai}} respectively, or by a Pokémon that has {{m|transform}}ed into them.

These moves cannot be sketched: {{m|Chatter}}, {{m|Struggle}}, Sketch itself, [[Shadow move]]s, [[Z-Move]]s, and others depending on the generation.

===Generation II===
Sketch cannot be used to copy {{m|Transform}}, and if used on {{m|Metronome}}, {{m|Mimic}}, {{m|Mirror Move}}, or {{m|Sleep Talk}} it will copy the move called by those moves. Because the move fails if there is no target on the field (or the turn immediately ends in certain generations, such as [[Generation IV]]), {{m|Self-Destruct|Selfdestruct}} and {{m|Explosion}} also cannot be sketched.

Sketch will fail if:
* The move tries to copy a move the user already knows.
* The battle does not allow [[Experience|experience points]] to be earned (such as link battles or [[battle facility]] battles).
* The target is transformed.

If used by a transformed Pokémon, Sketch will allow the Pokémon to permanently learn the sketched move; this is known as the [[Sketch glitch]].

===Generation III===
Sketch no longer copies the move called by another move: It now copies {{m|Mirror Move}}, {{m|Sleep Talk}}, and {{m|Metronome}} (instead of the move called by them), and will fail entirely if another move was called by either {{m|Mimic}}, or {{m|Transform}}. {{m|Self-Destruct|Selfdestruct}} and {{m|Explosion}} can now be copied if their execution was unsuccessful due to a Pokémon with the {{a|Damp}} [[Ability]] on the field.

In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} only, Sketch can copy a move a Pokémon attempted to use, but failed to due to {{status|sleep}} or other [[status condition]]s. This allows the moves {{m|Mimic}} and {{m|Transform}} to be copied (which otherwise cannot be).

If the battle does not allow [[Experience|experience points]] to be earned (such as link battles or [[Battle Tower]] battles), any moveset changes caused by Sketch will be reverted at the end of the battle.

Sketch will fail if:
* Used by a transformed Pokémon.
* A Pokémon somehow uses it without having Sketch in its current moveset.

===Generation IV to VII===
Sketch can now be used to copy {{m|Mimic}} and {{m|Transform}} like any other move (without the need for the move to fail).

If powered up by a [[Normalium Z]] into Z-Sketch, the user's {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Defense}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, {{stat|Special Defense}}, and {{stat|Speed}} are raised by one stage each.

===Generation VIII===
====Pokémon Sword and Shield====
Sketch cannot be selected in a battle.

===Generation IX===
In Versions 1.0 to 2.0.2 of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Sketch could not be selected in a battle.

Starting with Version 3.0.0, Sketch is once again usable. Sketch can no longer copy {{m|Dark Void}} or {{m|Hyperspace Fury}}, nor can it copy the newly introduced moves {{m|Revival Blessing}}, {{m|Tera Starstorm}}, or the [[Starmobile]]s' signature moves. Despite being both inaccessible and unusable, {{m|Breakneck Blitz}} is also specified as a move that cannot be copied by Sketch.

==In other games==
===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]===
Sketch targets the Pokémon in front and will copy their last used move, replacing Sketch with it. Sketch does not copy the Ginseng boost.

Sketch will fail if the target's last move had since been forgotten, or if it is Sketch or {{m|Struggle}}. In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Rescue Team]] series, Sketch cannot copy [[:Category:Moves that call other moves|moves that call other moves]] (except {{m|Sleep Talk}}, {{m|Snatch}}, and {{m|Mirror Move}}); although Sketch can technically copy itself if bounced back by {{m|Mirror Move}}. From [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], the move can now sketch moves that call other moves.

Sketch cannot be used in a {{OBP|Pokémon Tower|Mystery Dungeon}} in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|Adventure Squad]] series. In [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], Sketch will always fail when used against [[Gigantic Pokémon]], since they use completely different versions of the same move.

Pokémon breeding

2026-03-06T15:27:52Z

Pinsplash: /* Passing moves down */ wording suggests a move can be passed down simply by virtue of being a TM, which is not true. can give video evidence if wanted.

[[File:Brock grooming Electrike.png|thumb|250px|{{an|Brock}} grooming an {{p|Electrike}}]]
The process of '''breeding''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|育|そだ}}てる''' ''raise'' or '''{{ruby|増|ふ}}やす''' ''increase'') refers to [[Pokémon training|raising]] and hatching {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} from {{pkmn|Egg}}s with the goal of obtaining a Pokémon with a particular trait. People who specialize in Pokémon breeding are known as {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}s. The term '''breeding''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|増|ふ}}える''' ''increase'' or '''{{ruby|繁殖|はんしょく}}''' ''reproduction'') can also refer to the process through which Pokémon produce offspring and increase in population itself.

==In the core series games==
===How to breed===
In [[Generation II]] through [[Generation VI]], two compatible Pokémon can breed when left at the [[Pokémon Day Care]]. In [[Generation VII]] and [[Generation VIII]], this is instead done by leaving two compatible Pokémon at the [[Pokémon Nursery]]. In [[Generation IX]], having a [[picnic]] with two or more compatible Pokémon allows for them to breed (regardless of whether the Pokémon are in the player's [[party]] or other players' Pokémon visiting via the [[Union Circle]]). Breeding is absent in [[Generation I]], [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], {{g|Legends: Arceus}} and [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].

Two Pokémon are compatible if they share at least one [[Egg Group]] and are of opposite [[gender]]s. As an exception, {{p|Ditto}} is compatible with almost all Pokémon regardless of gender (which is the only way for [[gender unknown]] Pokémon to breed). Pokémon in the {{egg|No Eggs Discovered}} Egg Group cannot breed in any way whatsoever, and Ditto also cannot breed with another Ditto.

In Generation II only, if the {{stat|Defense}} [[Individual values|IVs]] of two Pokémon are the same and the {{stat|Special}} IVs are either the same or differ by 8, they cannot produce Eggs. Because of how IVs are passed down from parents, this condition suggests the Pokémon are related.

====Locations====
Pokémon Day Cares and Pokémon Nurseries can be found in the following locations:

====Breeding rate====
{{incomplete|section|needs= Scarlet and Violet Egg generation mechanics chart, [https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1628463982875930625 Datamined mechanics link]}}
The chance of any two Pokémon producing an Egg is determined by their species (two {{p|Bulbasaur}} are the same species, while Bulbasaur and {{p|Ivysaur}} are not) and their [[Original Trainer]]s.

In [[Generation III]] or later, the [[Day-Care Man]] will describe the two Pokémon's compatibility when the player speaks to him. An Egg may be generated after every 256 [[step counting|steps]] the player takes.

The chances of finding an Egg are different in Generation II, and the compatibility can be checked by interacting with the Pokémon themselves instead of with the Day-Care Man. An Egg may be generated according to the probabilities below after depositing two compatible Pokémon or receiving an Egg and taking a random number of steps between 150 and 255, or after the previous check and taking a random number of steps between 1 and 256.<ref>[https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/99e66c25577e367d6c7ca75fea8b466b54c3317a/engine/events/daycare.asm pokecrystal/engine/events/daycare.asm at 99e66c25577e367d6c7ca75fea8b466b54c3317a · pret/pokecrystal]</ref><ref>[https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/99e66c25577e367d6c7ca75fea8b466b54c3317a/engine/events/happiness_egg.asm#L188 pokecrystal/engine/events/happiness_egg.asm at 99e66c25577e367d6c7ca75fea8b466b54c3317a · pret/pokecrystal]</ref>

====Receiving the Egg====
When there are two compatible Pokémon in the Day Care or Nursery, the game will periodically decide whether the NPC standing outside the facility has found an Egg, with the chances depending on the compatibility of the two Pokémon as detailed in the section above.

If an Egg was produced, the NPC will move from their default position so that the player can know they have an Egg.
*In [[Generation II]], the Day-Care Man will appear in the Day Care's yard.
*In [[Generation III]], the Day-Care Man will step out of line with the fence.
*In {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the Day-Care Man will face the road instead of facing down.
*In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the Day-Care Man will face left or right instead of down and call the player over the [[Pokégear]].
*In [[Generation V]], the Day-Care Man will call out to the player when they are passing by on the road below, unless the player's party is full.
*In [[Generation VI]], the Day-Care Man will face the road instead of in towards the Day Care.
*In [[Generation VII]] and [[Generation VIII]], the Pokémon Nursery lady will fold her arms, with her right hand under her chin.
The NPC will hand the player an {{pkmn|Egg}} if the player replies that they want it. If the player replies they do not want the Egg, the NPC will permanently keep it. Prior to Generation VII, the player will only be given the Egg if they have an empty slot in their [[party]] for it to fill; if the player says they want the Egg but does not have a spare slot, the Day-Care Man will keep it until the player next speaks to him, at which point he will offer it again. In Generation VII and Generation VIII, the player no longer needs an empty slot in the party to accept an Egg, with any Eggs accepted with a full party being automatically sent to a [[Pokémon Storage System|Box]].

In [[Generation IX]], Eggs will appear during [[picnic]]s in the basket in front of the picnic table while any two compatible Pokémon are in the picnic (including both the player's [[party]] and any other players' Pokémon also present via the [[Union Circle]]). When an Egg is collected from the basket, it is automatically sent to a Box. More than one Egg can be found in the basket at once.

====What will hatch====
After taking enough steps, the Egg will hatch into a [[level]] 5 ([[Generation II]] and {{Gen|III}}) or level 1 ([[Generation IV]] onward) first-stage Pokémon of the female species's (or non-Ditto parent's) evolutionary [[Chain breeding|chain]].

There are two pairs of Pokémon families where the male and female are different species. In these cases, an Egg produced has an even chance to hatch into either the male or female variant. The pairs are the following:

=====Incense breeding=====
Prior to [[Generation IX]], there were several Pokémon which could produce two different kinds of Eggs, with a [[baby Pokémon]] being produced only if a parent of the Egg [[held item|held]] a specific [[incense]] when it was produced. Starting in Generation IX, these Pokémon will always produce the baby Pokémon regardless of held item.

=====Regional forms=====
If a Pokémon has [[regional form]]s, then its offspring will always hatch into the form native to that region. However, if a parent of a foreign form is holding an [[Everstone]] and is from the same evolutionary line as the offspring, then the offspring will hatch into that parent's form.

There is one special case, where a Pokémon can produce offspring that cannot evolve into it exclusively, and they are not gender counterparts.

===Hatching Eggs===
{{main|Pokémon Egg}}
The time it takes for an Egg to hatch depends on its species's required number of [[Egg cycle]]s. {{p|Magikarp}} have the fewest Egg cycles, meaning they hatch the fastest. Some baby Pokémon in the {{egg3|No Eggs Discovered}}, such as {{p|Cleffa}}, {{p|Pichu}}, and {{p|Igglybuff}}, hatch quickly as well. Besides these, most Pokémon take considerable time to hatch. Most Fossil Pokémon such as {{p|Archen}} and {{p|Anorith}} takes slightly long time to hatch. Rare and powerful Pokémon, such as {{p|Dratini}}, {{p|Bagon}}, {{p|Axew}}, {{p|Indeedee}}, {{p|Beldum}}, {{p|Larvitar}}, {{p|Chansey}}, and more, start with a high number of Egg cycles and take a long time to hatch. Most [[Legendary Pokémon]] have a very high number of Egg cycles, although it is impossible to get these Pokémon from an Egg in-game.

"Time" is actually determined by Egg cycle completion, which is determined by in-game steps or biking. An Egg cycle is a counted number of steps that activates breeding-related programs in the game. One Egg cycle lasts 256 steps in [[Generation]]s {{gen|II}} and {{gen|III}}, 255 steps in [[Generation IV]], 257 steps in Generations {{gen|V}} to {{gen|VII}}, and 128 steps in later generations. When the game reaches the end of an Egg cycle, it does a few things: the step counter for the cycle is reset to zero, the game randomly decides if an Egg is to be found at the Day Care (if compatible Pokémon are present in the Day Care at the time), and all (or only a few) Eggs currently in the {{player}}'s [[party]] have their Egg cycle count reduced by one. If the Egg cycle count for an Egg reaches zero after being reduced (in Generation II and from Generation V onward) or is zero when it would be reduced (in Generations III and IV), the Egg will begin to hatch. Prior to Generation V and in {{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet}}, if an Egg hatches, the game will not subtract an Egg cycle count from the rest of the Eggs after it in the party, ensuring that no two Eggs can hatch at the same time. From Generation V to VIII, if more than one Egg reaches zero at the same time, the first Egg hatches immediately while the rest hatch in order each time the player takes another step. In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, the player doesn't need to take an extra step as the text box with the "Oh?" message will immediately appear which means that the rest of the Eggs hatch in order sequentially.

In Generations III and IV, the Egg cycle's step counter can be reset by receiving an Egg from the Day-Care Man or the Manaphy Egg from the Mystery Gift delivery man in the [[Poké Mart]]. When an Egg is received from one of these people, the game resets the Egg cycle step counter to one in the third generation and to zero in the fourth generation.

As an example, in {{g|X and Y}}, a {{p|Misdreavus}} Egg starts with 25 Egg cycles, meaning it requires from 6,169 to 6,425 steps to hatch, depending on where the Egg cycle step counter is when the Egg is picked up. After each Egg cycle is completed, the Egg's Egg cycle count will drop by one, first to 24, then 23, then 22, and so on until the Egg cycle count hits zero, at which point the Egg will hatch into Misdreavus.

There are ways to speed up the time required to hatch an Egg. Riding a [[Bicycle]] reduces the time required simply by making it faster to complete steps. From {{game|Emerald}} onward, if a Pokémon with {{a|Flame Body}}, {{a|Magma Armor}}, or {{a|Steam Engine}} is in a player's party, Egg cycles are reduced by two instead of one at the end of an Egg cycle, effectively halving the steps needed to hatch the Egg. In the Misdreavus example, the Egg would start at 25, and with {{p|Slugma}} in the party, the Egg would drop 2 Egg cycle counts after each Egg cycle, to 23 then 21 then 19 and so on, until it finally drops from 1 to 0 and hatches. Having multiple Pokémon with the Ability or one with each will not increase the Egg cycle reduction. Starting from Generation V, Hatching Powers can also be used (either from {{DL|Entralink|Pass Powers}} or [[O-Power]]s) to shorten the length of an Egg cycle, making Eggs hatch 1.25, 1.5, or 2× faster depending on the strength of the power used. In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Secret Pals in the player's [[Secret Base]] can also use the skill "Take care of an Egg" to reduce an Egg's Egg cycle count by half of its base Egg cycles.

===Passing moves down===
The [[move]]s obtained by a Pokémon when hatching are as follows:
* By default, the baby Pokémon will start with any moves that it learns at level 1. (In [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]], they will know all moves that are level 5 and below in their learnset.)
* If both parents know a move that the baby can learn via leveling up, the Pokémon will inherit that move.
* Prior to Generation VI, if the father knows any moves that the baby can learn by [[TM]] or [[HM]] in that game, (and in {{v2|Crystal}}, by a [[Move Tutor]]) it will inherit the move. If a Pokémon species that is [[gender unknown]] (such as {{p|Magnemite}}) breeds with Ditto, the resultant baby will inherit any compatible TM or HM moves that the non-Ditto parent knows.
* If the father or, starting in Generation VI, the mother knows any specific [[Egg Move]]s that the baby can learn, the baby will inherit the move.
* From {{game|Emerald}} onward, if either parent is holding a [[Light Ball]], a bred Pichu will know {{m|Volt Tackle}}. Volt Tackle cannot be passed down as a normal Egg Move.

If this would result in the baby possessing more than four moves, the moves take priority in the order listed: Volt Tackle, mother's Egg Moves, father's Egg Moves, TM and HM moves, inherited level-up moves, baby's default moveset. The moves passed down will be ordered on the baby Pokémon by the priority listed above.

Starting in [[Generation VI]], the [[Move Reminder]] can teach any Pokémon hatched in a Generation VI or later game any move that it knew when it hatched, if it has forgotten it. Moves that can be taught this way due to inheriting them appear at the top of the Move Reminder's list. However, even if a Pokémon meets the requirements for more than four inherited moves, only the moves it knew when it hatched can be taught by the Move Reminder.

Starting in [[Generation IX]], a Pokémon with an empty move slot holding a [[Mirror Herb]] during a [[picnic]] can inherit compatible Egg Moves from other Pokémon in the picnic, regardless of Egg Groups, without the need for hatching a new Pokémon.

===Inheriting stats===
{{incomplete|section|needs=Generation 7 and swap breeding}}
A Pokémon's [[individual values]] are also passed down. This is determined differently between generations.

====Generation II====
In Generation II games, the baby inherits its [[Statistic|stats]] from the parent of the opposite gender, unless one parent is Ditto, in which case it inherits the stats from Ditto. The Defense [[DVs|DV]] (equivalent to [[Individual values|IVs]] from Generation III onward) is passed, and also either the Special [[DVs|DV]] or the Special [[DVs|DV]] plus or minus 8 (plus for values in the 0-7 range; minus for values in the 8-15 range); the Special [[DVs|DV]] has a 50% chance of remaining the same. Attack and Speed [[DVs]] are determined entirely at random, whereas HP is determined by the [[DVs]] of the other four stats, using the same formula for wild Pokémon. The probability of a Pokémon having the same [[DVs]] as its opposite-gender parent is therefore 1/512.

If the Defense [[DVs]] of two partners are the same, and the Special [[DVs]] are either the same or differ by 8, the two Pokémon are incompatible. This is due to the high likelihood of a family relation, hence the inability to breed.

====Generation III====
In {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire|s}}, {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, exactly three of the baby's IVs are inherited from its parents (e.g. if one parent contributes two IVs, its mate will contribute the third). The other three are determined at random, though it is possible that some of these may coincide with those of its parents without actually being inherited.

In {{game|Emerald}}, the process is similar but more complicated. First, a random IV is passed from one of the parents to the baby. Afterwards, a random IV of any stat (other than HP) is passed from either parent to the baby; if it is the same stat (not necessarily the same IV value, depending on whether or not the same parent passed it on), it will override it. Finally, another random IV of any stat other than HP and Defense is passed from one of the parents to the baby; this IV will override any of the previous two if it is from the same stat. The remaining stats (a number ranging from 3 to 5) are determined at random, again with the possibility of one or more IVs coinciding with those of the parents.

====Generation IV====
Inheriting IVs in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} and {{game|Platinum}} is determined in the same way as in {{game|Emerald}}.

From {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} onward, the baby will inherit three IVs, each from a different stat and from a random parent. In addition, if either parent holds an [[Power item]], the baby will instead receive the IV of the corresponding stat from that parent, then inherit two other random IVs each from a random parent; if both parents hold a Power item, the baby will inherit the corresponding stat to their held item from one of those parents at random. For example, if a parent is holding the Power Anklet, the baby will inherit the {{stat|Speed}} IV from that parent, and it will also inherit two other different IVs from its parents, such as Attack and Special Defense. As another example, if one parent holds a Power Anklet and the other parent holds a Power Weight, the baby will inherit either the Speed IV from the first parent or the [[HP]] IV from the second parent, and it will also inherit two different IVs from its parents other than Speed or HP (whichever was successfully inherited will be the one not chosen).

====Generation V====
Inheriting IVs in Generation V is determined in the same way as in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.

====Generation VI====
From {{g|X and Y}} onward, if at least one parent holds a [[Destiny Knot]], the baby will inherit five IVs instead of three.

This can be combined with a [[Power item]] to ensure that one desired IV is always inherited; however, the offspring will still inherit only a total of five IVs from its parents (the Power item simply guarantees which IV will be transferred for one of the five that the Destiny Knot allows).

===Inheriting Natures===
In {{game|Emerald}}, if the mother (in a male-female pair) or {{p|Ditto}} (in a pair that includes Ditto) is holding an [[Everstone]], the baby has a 50% chance of inheriting that Pokémon's [[Nature]].

In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, inheriting Natures remains the same as in Emerald, except that passing on Natures via an [[Everstone]] will not work if the Pokémon have different original languages.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, whichever Pokémon is holding an Everstone will have a chance of passing down its Nature, regardless of gender, or whether it is breeding with a Ditto.

In {{game|Black and White|s}}, inheriting Natures remains the same as in HeartGold and SoulSilver, except that passing on Natures via an Everstone will now work even if the Pokémon are from different original languages.

From {{2v2|Black|White|2}} onward, if one parent holds an Everstone, its Nature will always be passed down. If both parents are holding an Everstone, a parent's Nature will still always be passed down, but which parent's Nature is passed down is randomly determined.

From {{g|Sword and Shield}} onward, a Pokémon that is given a [[mint]] retains its original Nature and will still pass that Nature down when breeding with an Everstone. However, the mint's stat changes are never inherited and the offspring will default to their Nature's stat boosts.

===Inheriting Abilities===
In Generations {{gen|III}} and {{gen|IV}}, Abilities could not be inherited by breeding—an Egg would simply randomly be born with one of its possible Abilities. From [[Generation V]] onward, parents have a chance to pass down their Ability slot in certain circumstances.

When breeding a female Pokémon with a male Pokémon, only the female Pokémon's Ability is relevant; when breeding a Pokémon with Ditto, only the non-Ditto Pokémon's Ability is relevant. If a parent's Ability is altered via [[Ability Patch]] or [[Ability Capsule]], the new Ability slot is taken into account for breeding.

{{p|Rockruff}} with the [[Ability]] {{a|Own Tempo}} (which evolves into {{p|Lycanroc}}'s Dusk Form) is treated as a separate form, so breeding it uses form inheritance rather than Ability inheritance mechanics.

====Regular Abilities====
Pokémon with two possible non-Hidden Abilities have a different Ability in slots 1 and 2, while Pokémon with only one possible non-Hidden Ability have the same Ability in both slots.

In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, if a female Pokémon is bred with a male Pokémon (but not when bred with Ditto), there is a 80% chance that its offspring will have the Ability in the same slot as the mother (regardless of whether it is a Hidden Ability or not). Pokémon bred with {{p|Ditto}} cannot pass their Abilities down. (In {{g|Black and White|s}}, non-Hidden Abilities cannot be passed down.)

For [[Generation VI]] onward, if the female Pokémon has a non-Hidden Ability, there is a 80% chance that its offspring will have the Ability in the same slot as the mother (regardless of whether it was bred with a male Pokémon or Ditto).

====Hidden Abilities====
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, if a female Pokémon has its [[Hidden Ability]] and is bred with a male Pokémon (but not when bred with Ditto), there is a 60% chance that its offspring will have its Hidden Ability; in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, there is instead an 80% chance the offspring will have its Hidden Ability. (Male and [[Gender unknown|gender-unknown]] Pokémon cannot pass their Ability down in these games.)

From [[Generation VI]] onward, if a female Pokémon, or any Pokémon bred with Ditto, has a [[Hidden Ability]], there is a 60% chance that its offspring will have its Hidden Ability.

If an Egg does not inherit a Hidden Ability from a parent, it can only be born with a non-Hidden Ability.

===Inheriting forms===
In most cases, if a hatched species has multiple [[form]]s (not dependent on in-battle conditions), it will inherit the form of the mother or non-{{p|Ditto}} parent. {{p|Burmy}} will always hatch with the same cloak as its mother, and if bred between {{p|Mothim}} and Ditto, it will always hatch with a Plant Cloak. {{p|Rockruff}} with the [[Ability]] {{a|Own Tempo}}, which evolves into {{p|Lycanroc}}'s Dusk Form, is treated as a separate form that is inherited by its offspring. {{p|Oricorio}}, which changes its form using [[nectar]], can also pass down its form by breeding.

There are a few exceptions to this inheritance pattern:
* {{p|Rotom}} will always hatch into its normal form, but this form can be changed afterwards.
* In [[Nintendo 3DS]] games, {{p|Vivillon}}'s pattern depends on the set geographic area of the system at the time the save file it originated from was created, regardless of its parent's pattern. In [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], hatched {{p|Scatterbug}} will only evolve into Fancy Pattern Vivillon, regardless of its parent's pattern.
** The form that Scatterbug will evolve into is predetermined when the Egg is first obtained, not when hatched or evolved.
* {{p|Furfrou}}, whose trims are temporary, will always hatch in its Natural Form.
* {{p|Sinistea}} will always hatch in its Phony Form, regardless of its parent's form.
* {{p|Poltchageist}} will always hatch in its Counterfeit Form, regardless of its parent's form.

Species with [[regional form]]s will hatch into whichever form is native to the region they are bred in. However, if a parent of a foreign form and the same evolutionary line is holding an [[Everstone]], the offspring will be of that parent's form instead. If both parents meet this criteria, the mother's form takes priority.

The [[Gigantamax]] Factor and the {{pkmn2|Alpha}}, Jumbo, and Mini [[mark]]s cannot be passed down by breeding.

Pokémon such as {{p|Dunsparce}}, {{p|Wurmple}}, and {{p|Tandemaus}}, where the species or form they will evolve into is predetermined when they are first generated, do not follow form inheritance rules. The forms or species of the parents have no influence on the [[personality value]] or encryption constant of the offspring.

===Inheriting Poké Balls===
From [[Generation III]]{{tt|*|In Generation II, while breeding exists, the game doesn't store data for the type of ball a Pokémon was obtained with, therefore Eggs also lack any data or indicator of what ball they're in.}} through {{gen|V}}, all Eggs are obtained in standard red-and-white {{i|Poké Ball}}s, regardless of the type of ball either parent was obtained in. In later generations, this is still used as the default ball if another type of ball is not inherited.

From [[Generation VII]] onward, usually offspring will have the same Poké Ball as the female Pokémon, or the non-Ditto Pokémon when breeding with Ditto. However, if a male and female Pokémon of the same [[Pokémon (species)|species]] are bred (regardless of form), the offspring has an equal chance of inheriting either parent's Poké Ball.

The [[Master Ball]], [[Cherish Ball]], and [[Strange Ball]] cannot be inherited via breeding. Any offspring that would inherit one of these balls will be in a standard Poké Ball instead.

===Breeding for Shininess===
====Generation II====
In [[Generation II]], due to Shininess being determined by [[DVs]] (equivalent to [[Individual values|IVs]] from Generation III onward) and the fact that [[DVs]] are passed down through breeding, it is possible for an Egg bred from a Shiny Pokémon to have a chance as high as 1/64 of being Shiny itself, but only if the offspring is of the opposite gender as the Shiny parent. This is not possible in any later generations due to Shininess no longer being related to [[DVs]].

====Generation III====
In [[Generation III]], a bred Pokémon always has the same chance of being Shiny as any Pokémon met in the wild.

====Generation IV====
Starting in Generation IV, if the two parents have different languages of origin, the Pokémon in Eggs they produce are more likely to be Shiny due to the [[Masuda method]]. The game does this by generating up to four additional personality values if the Pokémon is not Shiny, meaning that the Pokémon is approximately five times as likely to be Shiny (approximately 5/8192 or 1/1639).

====Generation V====
Starting in Generation V, the [[Masuda method]] now generates five additional personality values, meaning that the Pokémon is approximately six times as likely to be Shiny (approximately 6/8192 or 1/1366).

In {{B2W2}}, the [[Shiny Charm]] was introduced, which increases the player's chance of encountering or hatching Shiny Pokémon while in the player's Bag. If the player has the Shiny Charm when an Egg is generated, the game generates two additional personality values if the Pokémon is not Shiny, meaning that the Pokémon is approximately three times as likely to be Shiny (approximately 3/8192 or 1/2731).

The Shiny Charm and Masuda method can both apply at the same time. If they both do, their rerolls stack, resulting in seven additional personality values being generated, meaning that the Pokémon is approximately eight times as likely to be Shiny (approximately 8/8192 or 1/1024).

====Generation VI====
The overall Shiny rate has been increased to 1/4096. As a result, while the number of rerolls remains the same, the probability of hatching a Shiny Pokémon when using the Masuda method or Shiny Charm has also increased.
* The Masuda method alone generates five additional personality values (approximately 6/4096 or 1/683 chance of a Shiny Pokémon).
* The Shiny Charm alone generates two additional personality values (approximately 3/4096 or 1/1365 chance of a Shiny Pokémon).
* The Masuda method and Shiny Charm together generate up to seven additional personality values (approximately 8/4096 or 1/512 chance of a Shiny Pokémon).

====Generation VIII====
In Generation VIII, the Masuda method now generates six additional personality values, which would make it more likely to hatch a Shiny Pokémon; however, due to a [[List of glitches in Generation VIII#Pokémon Egg Shiny Roll bug|bug]], while breeding the original roll is skipped if any bonus rolls are applied. As a result, the Masuda method has the same probability of producing Shiny Pokémon as it does in Generation VII (both with and without the Shiny Charm); while the Shiny Charm alone actually has a lower chance of producing a Shiny Pokémon than it does in Generation VII or wild encounters do with the Shiny Charm alone.<ref>https://twitter.com/SciresM/status/1319799153162006530</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/SciresM/status/1319805906691842050</ref>
* The Masuda method alone generates a total of six personality values (approximately 6/4096 or 1/683 chance of a Shiny Pokémon).
* The Shiny Charm alone generates a total of two personality values (approximately 2/4096 or 1/2048 chance of a Shiny Pokémon).
* The Masuda method and Shiny Charm together generate a total of eight personality values (approximately 8/4096 or 1/512 chance of a Shiny Pokémon).

====Generation IX====
The [[List of glitches in Generation VIII#Pokémon Egg Shiny Roll bug|Pokémon Egg Shiny Roll bug]] from Generation VIII (which affects the effectiveness of the Shiny Charm while breeding) still applies.

The Sparkling Power provided by [[sandwich]]es does not affect the chances of an Egg being Shiny.

==In animation==
[[File:Brock preparing Pokémon food.png|thumb|220px|Brock preparing Pokémon food]]
In {{pkmn|animation}}, Pokémon breeding refers to an entire line of work practiced by {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}s, such as {{an|Brock}} and [[Reggie]]. Little has been shown and discussed about the literal breeding of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to produce {{pkmn|Egg}}s, but it is assumed to be a part of a Breeder's work.

Pokémon breeding in animation focuses heavily on raising happy and healthy Pokémon and keeping them in top condition by {{pkmn|groomer|grooming}} them well and feeding them nutritious {{pkmn|food}}. When preparing Pokémon food, Breeders will carefully select ingredients to ensure that the Pokémon will consume all it needs to grow stronger and healthier.

Breeders are shown to have knowledge on how to treat Pokémon [[Illness in the Pokémon world|illnesses]] and injuries by administering [[Potion]]s and other medicine. Some Breeders will use a {{wp|mortar and pestle}} to crush and grind herbs to produce [[herbal medicine]]. They also know which {{Berries}} can be used to cure Pokémon from [[status condition]]s.

It has been shown that [[Pokémon Professor]]s get their [[first partner Pokémon]] from Breeders who specifically raise and breed them, like [[Old Man Swamp]] from ''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]''. There are also a few farm-like facilities that produce Pokémon Eggs of various species. Both {{Ash}} and {{an|May}} have obtained Eggs from such locations.

In ''[[DP001|Following A Maiden's Voyage!]]'', [[Johanna]] stated that {{an|Dawn}} would need to learn about breeding in order to become a [[Top Coordinator]]. This is because [[Pokémon Coordinator]]s must care for their Pokémon's appearance and well being, something which requires them to know how to produce nutritious snacks in the form of [[Pokéblock]]s and [[Poffin]]s, as well as to regularly groom them.

{{adv|Gold}}'s special skill, as described by {{adv|Professor Oak}}, is Pokémon hatching and is known as the "'''{{tc|Pokémon Breeder|Hatcher}}'''" ({{tt|孵す者|かえすもの}} ''Hatcher''). He has the ability to draw out the largest potential of a baby Pokémon, having lived with Pokémon his whole life. [[Togebo]] and [[Pibu]] are testaments to that title, and share similar traits with him.

==Trivia==
* Except for Pokémon species in the {{egg|No Eggs Discovered}} group or with [[gender unknown]], all other known Pokémon species can be indirectly or directly related to each other via their shared Egg Groups, even if no breeding with {{p|Ditto}} is involved.
* {{p|Nidorina}} and {{p|Nidoqueen}} cannot breed, despite the fact that the {{p|Nidoran♂}} line and {{p|Nidoran♀}} can. This is because Nidorina and Nidoqueen's inability to lay Eggs was established by Japanese media before breeding became a game mechanic.<ref>[[Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia]]: 「ニドラン♀の進化形だが、ニドリーナになると、卵を産む能力はなくなる。」 (''"It is the evolved form of Nidoran♀, but upon becoming Nidorina, has lost the ability to lay Eggs."'')</ref><ref>ポケットモンスター公式ファンブック ''Official Fan Book of Pocket Monsters'': 「ニドラン♀の進化形だが、卵は産めない。」 (''"It is the evolved form of Nidoran♀, but it cannot lay Eggs."'')</ref> As such, Nidoran♀ is the only Pokémon that loses the ability to breed upon evolving.
* Although all [[Legendary Pokémon]], [[Mythical Pokémon]], and [[Ultra Beasts]] except {{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Phione}} cannot breed in the [[core series]] games, {{pkmn|Egg}}s containing {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} can be hatched in [[Pokémon Snap]], and a baby {{p|Lugia}} appears in {{aniseries|GS}}. Likewise, Manaphy can be hatched from a special Egg transferred from {{vg|Pokémon Ranger}} in the Generation IV games.
* When a Pokémon hatches from an Egg during both [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]], it is at [[level]] 5. However, many Pokémon from the wild can be found between levels 2 and 4, which is below the level of newly hatched Pokémon. This oddity has since been addressed from [[Generation IV]] onwards, where all hatched Pokémon start at level 1.
**An additional consequence of this is that level 1 Pokémon cannot be obtained legally until Generation IV.
* From {{2v2|Black|White|2}} onward, the [[Everstone]] can be used to guarantee certain combinations of Pokémon species and [[Nature]]s, since many [[in-game trade|in-game traded Pokémon]] have fixed Natures. For example, {{p|Onix}} with the Impish Nature can be bred from the {{p|Steelix}} obtained in [[Cyllage City]].
* The [[Pokémon Mansion journals]] (which predate Generation II's introduction of breeding) describe Mew giving birth as opposed to producing an Egg. This was not changed in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, but in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the journal instead says "We obtained a new Pokémon from Mew." It is unclear as to whether this is meant literally or metaphorically.
* Due to a bug in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Stunfisk}} is not considered a [[regional form]] for the purposes of regional form inheritance.<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1404287033628106753</ref>

Olivine Gym

The '''Olivine Gym''' (Japanese: '''アサギジム''' ''Asagi Gym'') is the official [[Gym]] of [[Olivine City]]. It is based on {{type|Steel}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Jasmine]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her receive the {{badge|Mineral}}.

In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, the Gym is completely free from any Gym Trainers or puzzles, allowing the player to go straight to Jasmine immediately after delivering the [[Secret Medicine|SecretPotion]] to her at the [[Olivine Lighthouse]].

In [[Generation II]], the Olivine Gym resembles the [[Pewter Gym]], being designed after a {{wp|Japanese dry garden}}. Jasmine stands on a stone platform at the back of the Gym.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the Gym has changed, more clearly reflecting its Steel-type theme as a metallic building with steel arcs built over the path to the Gym Leader. There are now two Gym Trainers, {{tc|Gentleman}} Preston and {{tc|Lass}} Connie, but they won't battle the player. Instead, they simply express their gratitude to the player for helping [[Amphy|the sick Ampharos]] at the Olivine Lighthouse. Jasmine is standing on a low, covered steel platform at the end of the Gym.

After the player has exchanged [[Pokégear|phone]] numbers with Jasmine, they can return to the Gym, where Jasmine offers to [[In-game trade|trade]] them a {{p|Steelix}} in exchange for any Pokémon they offer.

===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|GS}}====
The Olivine Gym first appeared in ''[[EP208|Fight for the Light!]]''. After a long journey, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} finally reached [[Olivine City]], and Ash was eager for a [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}. When he entered the Gym, a girl claiming to be Jasmine challenged him to a battle. After losing to her {{p|Onix}}, Ash learned that the girl wasn't Jasmine, but rather her apprentice, [[Janina]]. She apologized for misleading Ash, and he forgave her before trying to challenge Jasmine. However, she said that wasn't in the mood for a battle, because [[Amphy|Sparkle]], the {{p|Ampharos}} who provided the light for the [[Olivine Lighthouse|Shining Lighthouse]], had gotten very sick. The only way to treat it was with a [[Secret Medicine|medicine]] found in [[Cianwood City]]. As a result, Ash and the others accompanied Janina to Cianwood to pick up the medicine.

After his adventures in the [[Whirl Islands]], Ash returned to Olivine City to finally have his Gym battle with Jasmine in ''[[EP224|Nerves of Steelix!]]''. She accepted his challenge, with Janina serving as the [[Battle judge|referee]]. After {{AP|Pikachu}} defeated her {{p|Magnemite}}, Jasmine sent out her {{TP|Jasmine|Steelix}}, which quickly defeated the {{t|Electric}} type. However, {{AP|Cyndaquil}} managed to defeat the Iron Snake Pokémon, earning Ash his Mineral Badge.

Olivine Gym appeared in ''[[PM093|Tyrogue's In Love?!]]''. {{PPM|Red}} and his [[party|team]] visited it after [[Red's Tyrogue]] had admitted he had fallen in love with [[Jasmine]] and wanted to confess his feelings to her. However, before he could do so, [[Jasmine's Steelix]] interfered and [[Red's Clefairy]] made the two compete against each other. In the end, however, it turned out that {{PPM|Red's Pikachu}} was the one who was compatible with Jasmine, much to Tyrogue's frustration.

==Trivia==
* The Olivine Gym is one of three Gyms in the games outside of [[Paldea]] not to have any Trainers but the Leader. The others are [[Generation II]]'s [[Viridian Gym]] and [[Cinnabar Gym]].
** In the [[Generation IV]] [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|remakes]], the Gym contains {{tc|Gentleman}} Preston and {{tc|Lass}} Connie, who were (optionally) battled by the {{player}} at the [[Olivine Lighthouse]], though neither Trainer challenges the player in the Gym. Strangely, neither Trainer uses Steel-type Pokémon when battled at the Olivine Lighthouse. The remakes also add Trainers to Viridian Gym and Cinnabar Gym, leaving Olivine Gym the only Gym outside of Paldea to never have any other Trainers battled in it except for the Gym Leader.
* The Olivine Gym's design in Generation II is a reference to the fact that Jasmine used to train {{type|Rock}} Pokémon before the Steel type was discovered.
* The Olivine Gym is the only Johto Gym whose [[Badge]] does not enable the use of an [[HM]] move.

'''Cyclizar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''モトトカゲ''' ''Mototokage'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, the [[Paradox Pokémon]] {{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}} are said to be either ancient and future relatives of Cyclizar, respectively, or versions of it from parallel timelines.

==Biology==
[[File:Team Dragon Rampage Cyclizar.png|thumb|left|250px|A group of Cyclizar fitted with riding equipment]]
Cyclizar is a green reptilian Pokémon resembling a lizard. Its head is mostly black, with a green coloration between its {{wp|Casque (anatomy)|casque}} and lower jaw, along with orange circular cheeks. Its neck, paw pads, and tail are also black; the latter has a white tip. Its rear has a covering resembling a motorcycle seat, located at the base of its tail. On its throat is a black sac with a white inner coloring, resembling a rubber tire.

Cyclizar has a mild temperament. It has been kept by humans and used for transport since ancient times, with depictions of this behavior found in murals dating back 10,000 years ago. This relationship appears to be mutualistic since the warmth of Cyclizar's rider helps it avoid getting cold, along with lifting its spirit. Cyclizar stores energy in the folds of its throat, allowing it to run continuously over long distances while carrying a passenger. When carrying a human, Cyclizar can reach a speed of over 70 mph (120 km/h). Cyclizar maintains its balance and absorbs shock while running by using its hard head and thick yet supple tail. It also uses its head and tail to attack during battles.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/cyclizar/ Cyclizar — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref> Cyclizar is strong enough to carry luggage and equipment used by humans. It has been seen equipped with metal seats and headlights, allowing humans to ride it more easily and navigate. In other cases, it has been seen equipped with a jet seat, allowing it to move faster as seen with [[Team Star]].

Both {{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}} share a resemblance to Cyclizar, a detail noted in their own Pokédex entries and by several people in [[Paldea]]; it is later confirmed in the aforementioned games that they are ancient and futuristic relatives of Cyclizar, respectively. According to [[Jacq]], Cyclizar has three [[form]]s. First, Cyclizar's basic form is where it walks on all four legs. Second, the battle form is where it stands on its hind legs in order to battle. Finally, the ride form, which it assumes when humans ride on it. When Cyclizar is being ridden on, it puffs up its throat sac and curls its tail, making the appearance of wheels.

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

==Trivia==
* Cyclizar shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Skiddo}} and {{p|Gogoat}}. They are all known as the Mount Pokémon.
* Cyclizar has several unique attributes:
** It is the only {{type|Dragon}} [[Pokémon (species)|Pokémon]] in the {{egg|Field}} [[Egg Group]].
** It is the [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|only Pokémon]] with a base stat total of 501.
** It is the only [[Generation IX]] Pokémon with a [[Paradox Pokémon]] counterpart.
*** It is also the only known Pokémon that is shorter than its {{p|Miraidon|future Paradox Pokémon relative}}.
* Cyclizar is one of three Pokémon with more than one Paradox Pokémon counterpart, the others being {{p|Donphan}} and {{p|Volcarona}}.

===Origin===
Cyclizar may be based on lizards, most notably the {{wp|Dactyloidae|anole}} and the genera ''{{wp|Sitana}}'' and ''{{wp|Sarada (lizard)|Sarada}}'' — the latter two are collectively known as fan-throated lizards. It also has traits from other lizard species: its foot pads resemble those of the {{wp|gecko}}, its tail resembles the prehensile tail of the {{wp|chameleon}}, and its {{wp|Casque (anatomy)|casque}} appears to be based on that of the chameleon or the {{wp|Corytophanidae|helmeted lizards}}. Some elements of its design appear to be based on parts of a motorcycle: its casque resembles both a motorcycle windshield and a helmet, its cheeks are similar to turn signal lights, its rear looks like a motorcycle seat, and the protrusion on its chest together with its tail resemble rubber tires, the latter especially when curled. The idea of being both lizard and motorcycle, as well as Cyclizar's {{t|Dragon}} typing, may be inspired by the {{wp|Ctenophorus cristatus|bicycle dragon}}.

Cyclizar may represent a "{{wp|Missing link (human evolution)|missing link}}" between {{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}}, with its anatomy reflecting an intermediate state between the two. For example, Koraidon's second and third digits are separated but connected by a skin membrane, whereas Cyclizar's seem to be partially fused, and Miraidon's are fully fused. Cyclizar and Miraidon share an elongated crest, subtympanic shields, a beak-like snout, and a lack of feathers, while Cyclizar and Koraidon share black tire-like scales on the tail and chest region, black pads on the inner sides of their feet, and a lack of exposed claws.

====Name origin====
Cyclizar may be a combination of ''cycle'' and ''lizard''.

Mototokage may be a combination of ''moto'' (Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese for motorcycle) and 蜥蜴 ''tokage'' (lizard).

[[File:TM set FRLG.png|250px|thumb|Using a TM in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}]]
A '''Technical Machine''', or '''TM''' for short (Japanese: '''わざマシン''' ''Move Machine''), is an [[item]] that can be used to teach a Pokémon a [[move]].

==Appearance==
[[File:RG TM.png|200px|thumb|TM artwork for {{game|Red and Green|s}}]]
TMs are most commonly depicted as discs, but their appearance has varied over time.

In artwork for {{game|Red and Green|s}}, TMs are depicted as a band that can be attached to a Pokémon.

Early art from the TCG (up until the [[Scarlet & Violet Era (TCG)|Scarlet & Violet era]]) depicts Technical Machines as small boxes which a Pokémon's [[Poké Ball]] can be inserted into. This depiction was also used in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] {{pkmn|manga}}, though in that manga, the box was actually a device that had to be separated and the two halves positioned around the Pokémon's head.

Starting in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, TMs are depicted as {{wp|compact disc}}s. This depiction was carried over to the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]].

In [[Pokémon Origins]], TMs and HMs resemble {{wp|floppy disk}}s.

In [[Pokémon GO]], TMs are depicted as digital paper that retracts into a tube.

The following table showcases the appearance of TMs throughout the [[core series]]. Note that in FireRed and LeafGreen there exists a Bug-type TM sprite for the [[TM Case]], but goes unused. Additionally in FireRed, LeafGreen, and {{game|Emerald||Emerald}}, since there are no Bug-type TMs, the [[bag]] sprite does not exist in those games.

==In the core series games==
From [[Generation I]] through [[Generation IV]], TMs are single-use items that are consumed after use, with some TMs being available only once per game. From [[Generation V]] to {{g|Sword and Shield}}, as well as in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, TMs can be used multiple times without being consumed (though single-use alternatives exist in [[TR]]s or [[Move Tutor]] moves). In [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]] and {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, TMs return to being single-use, but can be obtained multiple times through [[Poké Mart|shops]], [[TM Machine|trading items]], or other means.

Prior to [[Generation VI]], TM moves will also be passed down through {{pkmn|breeding}} if the baby Pokémon can learn that TM (such as passing {{m|Flamethrower}} from a father {{p|Typhlosion}} to a baby {{p|Torchic}}). Prior to Generation V, there were also several Pokémon that could not learn certain TM moves directly from a TM but could learn them via breeding, such as {{p|Vulpix}} with {{m|Energy Ball}}.

TMs are absent in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, and replaced with a [[Move Tutor]].

===List of TMs===
{{main|List of TMs}}

===Locations===
{{main|List of TM and HM locations}}
TMs can be found on the ground or bought at [[department store]]s or [[Game Corner]]s. Some are also given away by [[Gym Leader]]s as prizes for defeating them in addition to a [[Badge]].

===Changes between generations===
====Generation I====
[[Generation I]] includes 50 TMs, with an additional five HMs.

====Generation II====
[[Generation II]] includes 50 TMs, with an additional seven HMs. All TMs, except [[TM06]], [[TM14]], [[TM15]], [[TM22]], [[TM25]], [[TM26]], [[TM28]], [[TM29]], [[TM32]], [[TM38]], [[TM39]], [[TM42]], and [[TM44]], teach different moves to Generation I, most of which were newly introduced moves.

====Generation III====
[[Generation III]] includes 50 TMs, with an additional eight HMs (although only seven are available in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}). Many of the TMs differ from previous generations, with some moves that were TMs in Generation I but not II once again being taught by TMs.

[[TM13]], [[TM24]] and [[TM33]] all teach the same moves as in Generation I but different from Generation II. The following TMs that were changed in Generation II contain the same moves as then: [[TM05]], [[TM10]], [[TM11]], [[TM17]]-[[TM19|19]], [[TM21]], [[TM23]], [[TM27]], [[TM30]], [[TM36]]-[[TM37|37]], and [[TM45]]-[[TM47|47]]. Moves taught by all other TMs now teach {{cat|Generation III moves}} or existing moves that are completely new to being taught by TMs, such as {{m|Safeguard}} or {{m|Flamethrower}}.

In {{3v2|FireRed|LeafGreen|Emerald}}, [[Move Tutor]]s teach several moves that were TMs in Generation I. In Pokémon Emerald, Move Tutors also teach several moves that were TMs in Generation II.

====Generation IV====
[[Generation IV]] includes 92 TMs, with an additional eight HMs. Due to the fact that TMs can be held and transferred from the Generation III games, the first 50 TMs teach the same moves as in Generation III.

Out of the new TMs, [[TM54]], [[TM58]], [[TM61]], [[TM62]], [[TM64]], [[TM67]], [[TM70]], [[TM73]], [[TM75]], [[TM77]], [[TM80]], [[TM82]], [[TM85]], and [[TM90]] teach existing moves. All other new TMs teach new moves.

====Generation V====
[[Generation V]] includes 95 TMs, with an additional six HMs. Many of them teach different moves to their corresponding TMs in Generation IV. In {{game|Black and White|s}}, [[TM95]] was originally intended to be obtainable by using the [[Lock Capsule]], an [[event item]] which was intended to be distributed to {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, and then transferred to Black and White via the [[Relocator]]. However, the Lock Capsule was never distributed, rendering it, and subsequently TM95, [[List of unobtainable items|unobtainable]] in these games. It can be obtained in regular gameplay in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}.

New moves are taught by [[TM01]], [[TM03]], [[TM09]], [[TM19]], [[TM23]], [[TM43]], [[TM47]]-[[TM49|49]], [[TM51]], [[TM55]], [[TM58]]-[[TM60|60]], [[TM62]], [[TM67]], [[TM72]], [[TM76]], [[TM78]]-[[TM79|79]], [[TM82]]-[[TM83|83]], [[TM93]], and [[TM95]]. [[TM94]] is the only new TM that teaches an existing move: {{m|Rock Smash}}.

TMs now have unlimited uses like [[HM]]s, rather than being single-use items. In this generation only, when a Pokémon learns a move from a TM or HM by overwriting an old one, the new move takes on the current PP of the forgotten move, preventing repeated usage of machines for [[PP]] restoration. The prices of the purchasable TMs are also much higher to reflect the fact they can be reused. TMs can no longer be [[held item|held]] (indicating that they can't be [[trade]]d) or sold.

====Generation VI====
[[Generation VI]] includes 100 TMs, with an additional 5 HMs in [[Pokémon X and Y]] and 7 HMs in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]. One of the two additional HMs in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire—{{m|Rock Smash}}—was a TM in Pokémon X and Y; in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, [[TM94]]—the TM that teaches Rock Smash in Pokémon X and Y—instead teaches {{m|Secret Power}}. Most TMs contain the same moves that they did in Generation V, with the exceptions of [[TM19]], [[TM51]], [[TM83]], [[TM88]], and (in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire) TM94.

====Generation VII====
[[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]] include 100 TMs. HMs no longer exist, although the former HM moves {{m|Fly}}, {{m|Waterfall}}, and {{m|Surf}} became TMs instead. This is because the overworld uses of the HMs are replaced with the [[Poké Ride]] feature. The only TMs that were changed between [[Generation VI]] and [[Generation VII]] are [[TM01]], [[TM28]], [[TM59]], [[TM67]], [[TM70]], [[TM76]], [[TM94]], and [[TM98]].

[[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] include 60 TMs, with no HMs, as they are replaced with [[Secret Technique]]s. Every TM teaches a different move to what it taught in the [[Alola]] games.

====Generation VIII====
=====Sword and Shield=====
In [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], TMs remain virtually identical to how they work in the previous generation, with no HMs and 100 TMs in total. However, this generation prompted the inclusion of 100 new [[TR|Technical Records]] (known as TRs for short), which function as single-use items similar to how TMs worked prior to Generation V. The moves contained in TRs are all different from TM moves. Unlike in previous generations, TMs and TRs are numbered starting from 00, not 01; to make up for this, [[TM100]] has been removed.
=====Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl=====
In [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]], TMs are single-use again, but unlike in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, all TMs (except for [[TM28]]) can be bought in the [[Veilstone Department Store]], from [[Grand Underground]] merchants, or from the [[Shard]] collector on {{rt|212|Sinnoh}}. [[Gym Leader]]s now give five of the same TM.

Unlike in previous games, TMs stayed the same as in Diamond and Pearl, except [[TM10]], [[TM21]], [[TM27]], [[TM43]], [[TM49]], [[TM62]], [[TM63]], [[TM78]], and [[TM83]], which teach moves introduced in Generation V or VI due to the moves originally taught by those TMs being unusable, or in TM10's case, being {{m|Hidden Power}}, which is now {{p|Unown}}'s signature move.

The eight HMs from Diamond and Pearl are now TM93 through TM100, in the same order.

====Generation IX====
=====Pokémon Scarlet and Violet=====
TMs return to being single-use. Once a TM is obtained, they can be crafted at a [[Pokémon Center]] using the [[TM Machine]], using [[League Points]] and [[TM Material]]s dropped by defeating or catching [[wild Pokémon]]. Like [[TR]]s, if a Pokémon forgets a move taught by a TM, it can now be relearned for free without using another TM. Unlike previous generations, TMs have a 3-digit number rather than a 2-digit number. There are 229 TMs in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}: out of those, only the first 171 were present since the game's launch. [[The Teal Mask]] added 30 TMs, and [[The Indigo Disk]] added another 28 TMs.

[[TM016]], [[TM017]], [[TM026]], [[TM031]], [[TM173]], [[TM174]], [[TM185]], [[TM206]], [[TM216]], and [[TM223]] all teach existing moves that weren't available outside of leveling up, tutoring, or breeding. [[TM020]], [[TM021]], [[TM022]], [[TM052]], [[TM124]], [[TM171]], [[TM207]], [[TM210]], [[TM225]], [[TM226]], [[TM227]], [[TM228]], and [[TM229]] teach new moves.

Moves that were previously only learnable via [[Move Tutor]]s (the elemental Hyper Beam variations for fully evolved [[first partner Pokémon]], pledge moves, {{m|Draco Meteor}}, and {{m|Steel Beam}}) have been repurposed as TMs.

=====Pokémon Legends: Z-A=====
The base game has 107 TMs, and in [[Mega Dimension]] there are 53 extra TMs, making for a total of 160 TMs. In this game, TMs have unlimited uses.

===Incompatible Pokémon===
Although most Pokémon are able to learn a wide range of TM moves, there are 24 Pokémon that cannot learn any move through TM that isn't available to them through other means, with a few exceptions. Typically, these Pokémon are low in their evolutionary line or rely on a specific set of moves. Starting in [[Generation VI]], several of these Pokémon that were able to learn TM moves by leveling up are now able to learn the moves through TM as well.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team}} and {{pkmn|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness}} and {{pkmn|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky}}, the TMs for [[weather]] summoning moves, as well as {{m|Double Team}}, {{m|Rock Tomb}} and {{m|Snatch}}, do not exist, and instead have been replaced by appropriate [[Wonder Orb]]s. After use, a TM becomes a [[Used TM]]; a Used TM can be turned back into a usable TM by a Pokémon with the move {{m|Recycle}}, except for a Used TM of Recycle, which will remain a Used TM permanently. Pokémon can learn the same TMs they can learn in the corresponding core series games, but Pokémon that cannot learn TMs in the core series games can learn moves via TM if they can also learn those moves by level up. TMs are not numbered; they're merely named for the move they teach.

In Red and Blue Rescue Team, multiple instances of the same TM can be learned, which is often used by runners in [[Purity Forest]].

In Explorers of Time, Darkness and Sky, {{m|Dive}} is a TM, even though it is not a TM in [[Generation IV]] [[core series]] games. However, no Pokémon are specifically coded to learn it, and thus the only Pokémon compatible with it are those that already learn it by level-up.

In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity}}, all TMs are infinite use. Special TMs for moves usually learned through a [[Move Tutor]] in the core series games are also present. {{m|Wide Slash}} and {{m|Vacuum-Cut}} are no longer available starting from this game.

In {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, there are two types of TMs: single-use regular TMs and reusable rainbow-colored TMs. Rainbow-colored TMs can be purchased from Kecleon shops from certain post-game dungeons, and can also be purchased from Kecleon shops in towns after Kecleon has been [[Connection Orb|connected]] with the Expedition Society, which unlocks the "Treasures" section in the shop.

In Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team, and in Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky, there are two moves that do not appear in the core series games that can only be learned by TM: {{m|Wide Slash}} and {{m|Vacuum-Cut}}. These moves do not appear in subsequent games.

In Explorers of Sky, TMs can be sold to Kecleon for 250 [[Poké]].

===Pokémon GO===
In {{g|GO}}, there are four kinds of TMs: [[Fast TM]]s, [[Charged TM]]s, [[Elite Fast TM]]s, and [[Elite Charged TM]]s. TMs were introduced to Pokémon GO on June 22, 2017, and Elite TMs were introduced on April 24, 2020. All TMs are consumed after one use.

Using a Fast or Charged TM on a Pokémon randomly changes its Fast or Charged Attack, respectively, to a different move in the Pokémon's current move pool.

Elite TMs allow players to select the new move that will be learned, even including legacy and event-exclusive moves, such as [[Community Day]] moves.

==In animation==
[[File:Technical Machine PO.png|250px|thumb|TM34 in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
===''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters Out of the Gate!''===
TMs are mentioned once in the Japanese version of ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters Out of the Gate!]]''. While talking with the {{p|Kecleon}} Brothers, {{p|Charmander}} of [[Team Go-Getters]] mentioned TMs among other things the [[Kecleon Shop]] was sold out on. This reference was not included in the [[dub]].

===Pokémon Origins===
{{TM|34|Bide}} appeared in ''[[PO01|File 1: Red]]''. Much like in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, it was given to {{OBP|Red|Origins}} by [[Brock]] as a reward for defeating him in a [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}.

Another TM, {{TM|28|Dig}}, also made a brief appearance in ''[[PO02|File 2: Cubone]]'', where Red retrieved it from a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} who had stolen it.

[[File:TM in EToP.png|thumb|200px|left|TM31 in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]
===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
In ''[[ET06|To Evolve or Not to Evolve, That Is the Question!]]'', {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}} used [[TM31]] to teach [[Mikey]]'s {{p|Eevee}} {{m|Mimic}}, allowing it to win a battle against [[Eevee brothers|Sparky]]'s {{p|Jolteon}} and thus let Mikey join the [[Knights of the E Stone]].

===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
In ''[[PS015|Wartortle Wars]]'', a fake TM was seen amongst the many fake items sold to {{adv|Red}} by {{adv|Green}}.

===={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}====
In ''[[PS094|Elekid Incorporated]]'', {{adv|Silver}} mentioned that he had used [[TM21]] to teach his {{TP|Silver|Totodile}} {{m|Frustration}} in order to capitalize on the fact that he had only just stolen the Pokémon and it hadn't come to like him yet.

===={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}====
In ''[[PS606|Diancie Shines]]'', it was explained that TMs are machines that contain the essence of the move they teach to a Pokémon. Before this technology existed, other items served the same purpose. Such items are the rings [[Ultima]] carries on her staff, which contain the ultimate moves {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}}, and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, and a scroll held by the [[Draconid people|Draconids]], which contains the move {{m|Dragon Ascent}}.

===={{MangaArc|Sword & Shield}}====
In ''[[PASS08|Toasty!! Battle Against Toxapex]]'', {{Henry}} revealed he had used a TM for {{m|Sunny Day}} on his [[Twiggy|Thwackey]] in preparation for dealing with [[Nessa]]'s {{p|Toxapex}} during their [[Gym]] battle.

===={{MangaArc|Scarlet & Violet}}====
In ''[[PASV06|Skillful! The Mysterious Treasure Hunter!!]]'', [[Nemona]] received a TM for {{m|Aerial Ace}} as a prize for defeating five Trainers in [[South Province (Area Two)]] when visiting the [[Cortondo]] [[Pokémon Center]].

It was revealed that {{Violet}} used the TM for {{m|Rock Slide}} on his {{p|Clodsire}} in preparation for his battle against [[Larry]].

==In the TCG==
[[File:GrassCube01Aquapolis124.jpg|thumb|right|200px|{{TCG ID|Aquapolis|Grass Cube 01|124}}, an example of a typical Technical Machine card with the Trainer subtype of "Technical Machine"]]
In the TCG, a '''Technical Machine''' is a {{TCG|Trainer card}} depicting a Technical Machine. Each one has an {{TCG|attack}} printed on it. They can be attached to a {{TCG|Pokémon}}, and doing so allows the Pokémon to use the attack printed on the Technical Machine card instead of one of the attacks on the Pokémon's card.<ref>[[Pokémon Trading Card Game Rules]], {{TCG|Paradox Rift}}</ref>

Technical Machines have two different mechanical representations across the TCG's history, though both adhere to the above definition.

===Technical Machine (Trainer subtype)===
{{main|List of Technical Machine cards}}
Starting from {{TCG|Pokémon VS}} in Japanese and {{TCG|Expedition}} in English, Technical Machine is a type of {{TCG|Trainer card}}. These cards can be attached to Pokémon in play. The majority of them can only be attached to Pokémon of a specific {{TCG|type}} or those that include a specific {{TCG|Owner's Pokémon|owner}} in their name, but other restrictions have been used and a few cards have no restriction at all. Each card provides an attack that can be used in addition to any attacks featured on the Pokémon it is attached to. In most cases, a player is required to discard a Technical Machine card at the end of the turn they played it. The final Technical Machine cards, the ones printed in {{TCG|Legends Awakened}} and {{TCG|Rising Rivals}}, are exceptions to this last clause.

A Pokémon can have multiple TMs attached to it at once. This functionality is fairly useless since most Pokémon can only attack one per turn and therefore can only use an attack from one Technical Machine per turn, while both used and unused Technical Machines will be discarded.<ref>[https://compendium.pokegym.net/compendium-bw.html Compendium ruling], Compendium BW, [[Team Compendium]], PUI Rules Team, Jan 26, 2006</ref>

Some cards have numbers at the end of their name, normally starting from "01" and counting up with each card that otherwise has the same name. However, the only cards with an "02" card to follow them are Japan exclusive, only being printed in Pokémon VS. No cards have "03" or any third member to a numeric order. The two cards in Legends Awakened, {{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Technical Machine TS-1|136}} and {{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Technical Machine TS-2|137}}, are the sole English examples of a numbering system with more than one entry in English. The final card to bear the card type, {{TCG ID|Rising Rivals|Team Galactic's Invention G-107 Technical Machine G|95}}, uses a "G" in place of a number.

After the {{TCG|Rising Rivals}} expansion, Technical Machine cards were seemingly retired in favor of {{TCG|Pokémon Tool card}}s that provide additional attacks.

A number of sets have variations on the Technical Machine concept, keeping the card type and mechanics but changing the name and appearance of the item. They do not use numbers like the normal TMs, being distinguished by symbols or additional words instead.

====Miracle Sphere====
[[File:MiracleSphereSkyridge131.jpg|thumb|right|200px|{{TCG ID|Skyridge|Miracle Sphere γ|131}}, an example of a Miracle Sphere.]]
A '''Miracle Sphere''' is one of three cards from the {{TCG|Skyridge}} expansion. They are {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Miracle Sphere α|129}}, {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Miracle Sphere β|130}}, and {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Miracle Sphere γ|131}}. The ends of their names have a Greek letter. Each Miracle Sphere can only be attached to [[Evolution#In the TCG|Evolved Pokémon]] of three specific {{TCG|Energy type}}s. One of those types is used in the cost of the attack of the Miracle Sphere. If the Pokémon has a {{TCG|Basic Energy card}} attached to it of the type in the attack's cost and a Basic Energy card attached to it of one of the other two types, the attack becomes stronger in some way, either adding an additional effect or dealing increased damage and having an additional effect. If there are Basic Energy cards attached to the Pokémon that have all three types, then both effects happen. Also, the attack a Miracle Sphere provides always ends with the word "Force".

The art for these cards shows a sphere glowing in various colors. Writing of an indeterminate language runs across the sphere.

====Mystery Plate====
A '''Mystery Plate''' is one of four cards from the {{TCG|Skyridge}} expansion. They are {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Mystery Plate α|133}}, {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Mystery Plate β|134}}, {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Mystery Plate γ|135}}, and {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Mystery Plate δ|136}}. Again, the ends of their names have a Greek letter. The attacks on these cards exclusively cost {{e|Colorless}} {{TCG|Energy}}. They have an effect when the opponent has 5 or more [[Prize card]]s remaining, and a different effect when the opponent has a lower number of Prize cards remaining. Mystery Plate α and Mystery Plate β have an effect when the opponent has 1 Prize card remaining, while Mystery Plate γ and Mystery Plate δ have an effect when the opponent has 2 Prize cards remaining. These second effects are more powerful than the first effect. However, between either of the two points, and after the second point in the case of Mystery Plate γ and Mystery Plate δ, the attack has no effect.

The art for these cards shows a stone slab, with text of an indeterminate language written on it.

====Ancient Technical Machine====
[[File:AncientTechnicalMachineSteelEXHiddenLegends86.jpg|thumb|left|200px|[[Ancient Technical Machine Steel (EX Hidden Legends 86)|Ancient Technical Machine [Steel]]], an example of an Ancient Technical Machine]]
An '''Ancient Technical Machine''' is one of three cards from the {{TCG|EX Hidden Legends}} expansion. They are [[Ancient Technical Machine Ice (EX Hidden Legends 84)|Ancient Technical Machine [Ice]]], [[Ancient Technical Machine Rock (EX Hidden Legends 85)|Ancient Technical Machine [Rock]]], and [[Ancient Technical Machine Steel (EX Hidden Legends 86)|Ancient Technical Machine [Steel]]]. Their names all end in the name of a [[type]] encased in brackets. They use the name of a type from the video games and not the equivalent {{TCG|Energy type}}.

These cards can only be attached to an Evolved Pokémon, and that Pokémon cannot also be an {{TCG|Pokémon-ex}} or an {{TCG|Owner's Pokémon}}. The attack an Ancient Technical Machine provides exclusively costs {{e|Colorless}} Energy, and its name ends with the phrase "Generator".

The art for these cards shows a opened clam-shaped device with a shape floating in the distant half.

===Technical Machine (Pokémon Tool)===
[[File:TechnicalMachineTurboEnergizeParadoxRift179.jpg|thumb|200px|{{TCG ID|Paradox Rift|Technical Machine: Turbo Energize|179}}, an example of a Technical Machine card that is a Pokémon Tool.]]
In {{TCG|Paradox Rift}} expansion in the Scarlet & Violet Series (in Japan the {{TCG|Raging Surf}} subset in the {{TCG|Scarlet & Violet Era}}), over 14 years since the last Technical Machine card, Technical Machines returned to the Trading Card Game. This set of cards are a group of Pokémon Tool cards which have an attack printed on them that the Pokémon the card is attached to can use. As they are Pokémon Tools, they carry the restriction of that card type where a Pokémon can only have a single Pokémon Tool attached to it. This further means that a Pokémon cannot have more than one of these Technical Machine cards attached to them at a time.

These cards have a new naming structure, starting with "Technical Machine:" followed by the name of the {{TCG|attack}} that they provide.

While no longer depicted as a distinct type of Trainer card, these cards are still discarded at the end of the turn.

These cards' artwork use the optical disk appearance of TMs from the video games, instead of the TCG's cube appearance.
{{-}}

==In the magazines==
===''Pokémon Power''===
In ''{{OBP|Pokémon Power|magazine}}'' (issue 3, page 3), there is a small ad about buying used TMs: ''"Save big on used TMs! Call Now! 555-POKE!"''

==Trivia==
* 343 different moves have been available as a TM, adding together the TMs from every generation.
* [[Gym Leader]]s who give out a TM on their defeat typically give out one containing a move of their [[Type expert|specialty type]]. However, in their respective first generation of an appearance each, [[Brock]] and [[Falkner]] do not, giving out {{TM|34|Bide}} (a {{type|Normal}} move) and {{TM|31|Mud-Slap}} (a {{type|Ground}} move), respectively. This is rectified in the [[remake]]s of their debut games, with Brock giving away {{TM|39|Rock Tomb}} while Falkner's prize is {{TM|51|Roost}}. Likewise, [[Cilan]], [[Chili]], and [[Cress]] do not give out TMs matching their specialty type, instead giving out the {{type|Normal}} {{TM|83|Work Up}}, regardless of which of the three is battled.
** Prior to Generation III, TMs given out by the starting region's Gym Leaders teach moves that no Pokémon learns naturally. There is one exception: in {{game|Yellow}}, {{p|Pikachu}} learns {{m|Thunderbolt}} in place of {{m|Swift}}.
* Generation IV is the first generation in which there is at least one TM that teaches a move of each Pokémon type.
** Generation I had no TMs for {{t|Bug}}- or {{type|Ghost}} moves, Generation II had none for {{t|Flying}}, and Generation III had none for Bug. Because of the last case, [[a:File:Bag TM Bug Sprite.png|the Bug-type TM sprite]] goes unused in Generation III, while [[a:File:TM Bug Sprite FRLG.png|the sprite]] that would've been used for a Bug-type TM in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}'s [[TM Case]] goes completely unused.
* Generation IX has the most TMs, with 229, and Generation I, II, and III are tied for the fewest TMs, with 50.
* The largest TM increase across generations was from VIII to IX, adding 129 TMs. The smallest increase was from IV to V, adding only three.

'''Secret Power''' (Japanese: '''ひみつのちから''' ''Secret Power'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation III]]. It was [[TM43]] from Generation III to [[Generation IV]], and [[TM94]] in {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. In Generations {{gen|V}} and {{gen|VII}}, it was the [[signature move]] of {{p|Audino}}, but other Pokémon could still inherit it via {{pkmn|breeding}}.

==Effect==
{{MoveResearch|Confirm whether it is affected by Shield Dust}}
===In battle===
Secret Power inflicts damage and has a 30% chance of causing a secondary effect. The effect and animation are determined by the current [[environment]]. The effect and animation caused by each environment change between games, as do the environments recognized.

====Generation III====
In a [[Pokémon Contest]], Secret Power uses {{m|Needle Arm}}'s animation (but not the effects).

Secret Power's secondary effect chance is doubled by {{a|Serene Grace}}.

====Generation IV====
In a [[Pokémon Super Contest]], Secret Power uses {{m|Body Slam}}'s animation (but not the effects).

Marsh tiles can only be found in the [[Safari Zone]]s, making its effect unused.

=====Pokémon Battle Revolution=====
In [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], Secret Power's animation is the same for all Colosseums, but the move still has different secondary effects depending on which Colosseum is being fought at:

====Generation VI====
Secret Power's secondary-effect chance is now doubled by {{a|Serene Grace}}, but it is still not doubled by the rainbow effect from combining {{m|Water Pledge}} and {{m|Fire Pledge}}.

In a [[Pokémon Contest]] Spectacular, Secret Power uses {{m|Last Resort}}'s animation (but not the effects).

====Generation VIII onwards====
Secret Power cannot be selected in a battle.

===Outside of battle===
====Generation III====
Secret Power allows the user to create their own [[Secret Base]]. When used on certain trees, a vine drops down. When used on indented walls, a cave opens. When used on certain bushes, an entrance opens.

====Generations IV and V====
It no longer has the out-of-battle effect of creating a Secret Base.

====Generation VI====
In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], Secret Power can again be used to create Secret Bases at Secret Spots. Secret Power can only be used in the field once the player has obtained its TM ([[TM94]]).

====Generation VII onwards====
Secret Power cannot be used outside of battle.

Secret Power deals damage, and may inflict a secondary effect depending on the dungeon's current terrain. From {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, it is also affected by [[Terrain|moves that change terrain]].

Before {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Gates to Infinity}}, the animation was always the same, using similar graphics to that of {{m|Needle Arm}}'s animation. Since then, Secret Power has had a unique animation that remains the same regardless of the dungeon terrain.

==In other generations==
{{main|Secret Power (move)/Gallery}}


==Trivia==
* Secret Power is the only:
** move that can have a chance of {{status|freeze|freezing}} higher than 10%, excluding {{m|Blizzard}} in the Japanese [[Generation I]] handheld games and {{m|Sheer Cold}} in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.
** {{type|Normal}} move capable of {{status|poison}}ing the target.
* Secret Power only uses the animations of damage-dealing moves.
* In [[Generation IV]] and {{gen|V}} as well as {{g|X and Y}}, Secret Power only uses the animations of single-target moves.
* In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Secret Power uses the animation of {{m|Incinerate}} in a volcanic area and the animation of {{m|Swift}} in space, the only instances of it using the animation of a multi-target move in Generation VI.
** As a result, it has a unique animation when used in [[Horde Encounter]]s in volcanic areas (there are no battles with multiple opponents in space). Incinerate shoots fireballs at all opponents, whereas Secret Power only shoots a fireball at the target. This is the only instance in the [[core series]] games that Secret Power has a unique animation.
* In [[Generation VII]], Secret Power uses the animation of Incinerate when used in volcanic areas, the only instance of it using the animation of a multi-target move in that generation. Unlike in Generation VI, it uses the same animation as Incinerate in battles with multiple opponents, causing both opponents to react to the hit despite the move only affecting one of them.

'''Sturdy''' (Japanese: '''がんじょう''' ''Sturdy'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation III]].

==Effect==
===In battle===
====Generations III and IV====
Sturdy makes the Pokémon unaffected by [[one-hit knockout move]]s.

====Generation V onward====
In addition to Sturdy's previous effect, Sturdy now works like a [[Focus Sash]], causing the Pokémon to have 1 {{stat|HP}} remaining if another Pokémon's attack or {{status|confusion}} damage would have brought it from full health to 0 HP. Sturdy will activate as long as a Pokémon has full HP before the attack, and therefore it can activate multiple times if the Pokémon is brought back to full health, or if the Pokémon {{p|Shedinja|has a maximum of 1 HP}}.

If a Pokémon with Sturdy is holding a Focus Sash, Sturdy will activate first. A Pokémon with {{a|Mold Breaker}} will ignore Sturdy. When a [[multistrike move]] hits a Pokémon with Sturdy, Sturdy's effect can only activate for hits while the user has full HP. {{m|Destiny Bond}} and {{m|Perish Song}} will not cause Sturdy to activate.

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

==In the core series games==
In the [[Generation II]] games and in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the {{player}}'s mother informs them that the [[Pokégear]] has returned from the repair shop. In Generation II, she then helps set the [[Days of the week|day of the week]] and, in non-Japanese and non-Korean releases, set {{wp|daylight saving time}} accordingly (except if it's between 11:00 PM and 12:59 AM in-game, in which the game prevents this due to the day of the week changing; she will claim that she lost the instruction booklet for the Pokégear, although not during the initial setup process).

She will save the player's money at their request so that a quarter of the money won from each battle is automatically sent to her, and money can be deposited and withdrawn from her (in HeartGold and SoulSilver, if the player has {{PDollar}}999,999 on hand then no additional money earned from battles will be sent to her, contrary to what the end-of-battle dialogue claims). She occasionally buys [[decoration]]s{{sup/2|GSC}}, {{cat|damage-reducing Berries}}{{sup/4|HGSS}}, or other items (listed below) with the player's money, then apologizes for spending the money she is saving. Her cooking specialty is the Cinnabar Volcano Burger.

===Items purchased===
====Generation II====
After the player wins a Trainer battle, the player's mother may purchase items for them. Purchased items are sent to the player's PC.

When the player's savings reach certain amounts, the player's mother may purchase one of the items below. Each item can only be obtained once.

If the player's mother cannot purchase one of the above items, then she may randomly purchase an item below if the player's savings are an exact multiple of {{pdollar}}2300. The target multiple rises each time the player's savings pass or equal the previous target (starting with {{pdollar}}2300) and never lowers. This means that if the player's savings increase from {{pdollar}}4500 to {{pdollar}}4700 after a battle, they will thereafter be unable to trigger one of these items at {{pdollar}}4600 even if they make a withdrawal from their savings.

====Generation IV====
Purchased items are delivered to the player via a delivery man in any Poké Mart. Up to 5 items can be awaiting pickup by the player at the same time. After that, the player's mom will stop making new purchases until the awaiting items are picked up.

=====Once only=====
Once the player's savings reaches a certain threshold, she will buy one of these items. Once each item is purchased, it will not be purchased again. If the player has 5 other items pending pickup, these items are not missed: once the player picks up the pending items, the next one will be purchased after the next time the player saves more money.

=====Unlimited times=====
Each time the player's savings reach or exceed a multiple of {{PDollar}}3000, if Mom does not buy one of the once-only items, she buys 5 of a random berry for {{PDollar}}100 total (this counts as one item for the delivery man). If the player has 5 other items pending pickup, the berries are missed. Mom will only buy these if the threshold was reached by winning the money in a battle.

==In the manga==
[[File:Gold mother Adventures.png|thumb|150px|Gold's mother in Pokémon Adventures]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
She appears in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga as the mother of {{adv|Gold}}, debuting in ''[[PS091|Murkrow Row]]''. She was seen nagging him about his messy hairstyle, calling it "explosive".

====Pokémon====
These Pokémon are raised by Gold's mother. Due to the large amount of Pokémon she raises, their home is known as "the Poké-house". These Pokémon were either given by Trainers, caught by Gold's mother, or had settled there as wild Pokémon.

==Trivia==
* In the internal data for Pokémon Gold and Silver, there is leftover data for [[Pokémon_Gold_and_Silver_beta#Naming_the_mother|naming the mother]].
** Other leftover data also indicates the player would have had the option of allowing the mother to save half or all of the player's money after a battle.

==In the core series games==
In the [[Generation II]] games and in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the {{player}}'s mother informs them that the [[Pokégear]] has returned from the repair shop. In Generation II, she then helps set the [[Days of the week|day of the week]] and, in non-Japanese and non-Korean releases, set {{wp|daylight saving time}} accordingly (except if it's between 11:00 PM and 12:59 AM in-game, in which the game prevents this due to the day of the week changing; she will claim that she lost the instruction booklet for the Pokégear, although not during the initial setup process).

She will save the player's money at their request so that a quarter of the money won from each battle is automatically sent to her, and money can be deposited and withdrawn from her (in HeartGold and SoulSilver, if the player has {{PDollar}}999,999 on hand then no additional money earned from battles will be sent to her, contrary to what the end-of-battle dialogue claims). She occasionally buys [[decoration]]s{{sup/2|GSC}}, {{cat|damage-reducing Berries}}{{sup/4|HGSS}}, or other items (listed below) with the player's money, then apologizes for spending the money she is saving. Her cooking specialty is the Cinnabar Volcano Burger.

===Items purchased===
====Generation II====
After the player wins a Trainer battle, the player's mother may purchase items for them. Purchased items are sent to the player's PC.

When the player's savings reach certain amounts, the player's mother may purchase one of the items below. Each item can only be obtained once.

If the player's mother cannot purchase one of the above items, then she may randomly purchase an item below if the player's savings are an exact multiple of {{pdollar}}2300. The target multiple rises each time the player's savings pass or equal the previous target (starting with {{pdollar}}2300) and never lowers. This means that if the player's savings increase from {{pdollar}}4500 to {{pdollar}}4700 after a battle, they will thereafter be unable to trigger one of these items at {{pdollar}}4600 even if they make a withdrawal from their savings.

====Generation IV====
Purchased items are delivered to the player via a delivery man in any Poké Mart. Up to 5 items can be awaiting pickup by the player at the same time. After that, the player's mom will stop making new purchases until the awaiting items are picked up.

=====Once only=====
Once the player's savings reaches a certain threshold, she will buy one of these items. Once each item is purchased, it will not be purchased again. If the player has 5 other items pending pickup, these items are not missed: once the player picks up the pending items, the next one will be purchased after the next time the player saves more money.

=====Unlimited times=====
Each time the player's savings reach or exceed a multiple of {{PDollar}}3000, if Mom does not buy one of the once-only items, she buys 5 of a random berry for {{PDollar}}100 total (this counts as one item for the delivery man). If the player has 5 other items pending pickup, the berries are missed. Mom will only buy these if the money was won in a battle.

Movable boulder

2025-11-14T08:18:30Z

Pinsplash: /* Johto */ Added Dark Cave entry

{{redirect|Boulder|the Badge|Badge#Boulder Badge|Badge → Boulder Badge}}
[[Image:HM Strength artwork.png|thumb|250px|{{ga|Serena}} ordering {{p|Durant}} to use {{m|Strength}}]]
'''Movable boulders''' are a type of obstacle appearing in many [[core series]] games, commonly found in [[cave]]s. The {{player}} must use the help of a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to move them around.

Boulders appear in [[Generation I|Generations I]] to {{gen|VII}} and [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]]. In Generations I to VI and Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, they can be moved using the [[field move]] {{m|Strength}}. In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, they can be moved using the [[Ride Pokémon]] Machamp Shove. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], they can be moved using the [[Secret Technique]] Strong Push.

'''Flame Burst''' (Japanese: '''はじけるほのお''' ''Flame Burst'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Fire}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation V]].

==Effect==
===Generation V to VII===
Flame Burst deals damage to the target, then inflicts damage to up to two Pokémon adjacent to that target (including the user if targeting an ally) equal to 1/16 of their respective maximum HP. Except in [[Battle Royal]]s, the extra damage is dealt to the up to two Pokémon that are both allied with and adjacent to the target; in Battle Royals, the extra damage is dealt to the other two opposing Pokémon. The extra damage is not inflicted if the target was not affected by Flame Burst (such as due to Flame Burst missing, {{a|Flash Fire}}, or being {{cat|Protection moves|protected}}).

The extra damage is effect damage, so it does not interact with Abilities such as Flash Fire or {{a|Color Change}} on the damaged Pokémon, and is not affected by {{cat|protection moves}} and {{m|Endure}}, the [[Focus Sash]] or [[Focus Band]], {{a|Wonder Guard}}, {{m|Substitute}}, {{m|Destiny Bond}}, or {{a|Telepathy}}. However, due to being effect damage, it is prevented by {{a|Magic Guard}}. This damage cannot miss.

===Generation VIII onwards===
Flame Burst cannot be selected in a battle.

===[[Pokkén Tournament]]===
Flame Burst appears as one of {{p|Chandelure}}'s Pokémon moves. Chandelure turns away from the opponent and fires an arcing projectile that proceeds to explode in a giant circle in the air. If charged, the projectile goes further, exploding on contact with the ground instead.

==={{g|UNITE}}===
In Pokémon UNITE, Flame Burst is {{p|Charizard}}'s first move as {{p|Charmander}}. The user attacks with a bursting flame forward, exploding on the first enemy hit, dealing damage and burning enemies in a small radius. The user gains a small movement speed bonus when hitting an enemy. The burn lasts 4s and reduces enemy Attack by 5%. Upon evolving into {{p|Charmeleon}} at level 5, it is replaced by either {{m|Flamethrower}} or {{m|Fire Punch}}.

==Trivia==
* In [[Pokémon Conquest]], the {{wp|Artificial intelligence|AI}} is remarkably flawed in its usage of Flame Burst, effectively ignoring the difference between the move's main damage and effect damage.
* Excluding [[signature move]]s and [[Z-Move]]s, Flame Burst is the only Fire-type move to not be usable in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].

[[File:Union Cave exterior HGSS.png|thumb|200px|The Route 32 side entrance to Union Cave in HeartGold and SoulSilver]]
'''Union Cave''' (Japanese: '''つながりのどうくつ''' ''Linking Cave'') is a cave located in the [[Johto]] [[region]]. The main cave divides {{rt|32|Johto}} from {{rt|33|Johto}}, though two other exits in the basement levels of the cave lead to the [[Ruins of Alph]].

==Geography==
Union Cave is a simple cave, with many pools of water. The main floor has two different entrances to lower floor in the southern area{{sup/2|GSC}}/opposite ends of the cave{{sup/4|HGSS}}. The upper one leads to B1F, which, after crossing the pond, will lead to the Ruins of Alph. The lower one leads to a small hallway, which also has a pond, and another entrance to B2F. The lowest level of the cave has several ponds, the southern-most containing, on Fridays, a {{p|Lapras}}.

===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}====
Union Cave appeared in ''[[PS121|Off Course with Corsola]]'', where {{adv|Crystal}} was traveling through the cave to get to the western part of Johto. While going through the cave, she noticed a {{p|Magneton}}, which was not native to the area. She was then attacked by a group of Magneton, all of which belonged to [[Lt. Surge]], who had ordered them to catch any [[wild Pokémon]] passing by. When the [[Gym Leader]] himself arrived, he saw that his [[Poké Ball]] trap hadn't caught anything, leading him to believe that the commotion was just a false alarm. He then proceeded to exit the cave through an underwater tunnel, not noticing that his Magneton had dropped the unconscious Crystal into his submarine.

===Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys===
Union Cave appeared in ''[[GB05|Extreme Power!! The Friday Pokémon]]''. The cave is home to a {{p|Lapras}} that appears there on Fridays, but tourists littering the cave caused it to get angry. {{GnB|Gold}} and [[Bugsy]] set out to calm it down so they could get to [[Azalea Town]], only to find Gold's [[rival]] {{GnB|Black}} in the cave, looking for Lapras. A {{pkmn|battle}} between Gold and Black caused them to fall to a deeper floor in the cave, where they found Lapras. When [[Gold's Bayleef|Black's Bayleef]] fared badly against Lapras, Black abandoned it for being too weak. Gold saved Black from being hurt by Lapras by defeating it with his {{p|Elekid}}, after which he took Bayleef under his wing when Black left, swearing to settle their differences someday.

===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
Union Cave appeared in ''[[PM073|Escape from Magma!?]]''. {{PPM|Red}} and his Pokémon went there by traveling on a Lapras. Inside, {{PPM|Giovanni}} and some {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s took over the cave by building an amusement park. As Red and his Pokémon went in, it turned out to be a trap as Giovanni sealed the entrance. The group managed to escape when {{TP|Red|Clefairy}}'s digger drill dug a hole. However, it took them deeper in the cave, where Giovanni found them and summoned his {{p|Slugma}} from a lava pit.
