'''Luvdisc''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ラブカス''' ''Lovecus'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

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

==Biology==
Luvdisc is a fish-like Pokémon with a relatively flat body in the shape of a heart. Loving couples gave this Pokémon its name after spotting it in the ocean waters. It is primarily light pink, with pale lips and circular markings on its cheeks. During the spring, it forms groups that turn the ocean's surface bright pink. Luvdisc lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon|warm seas}}, where it makes its nest in the branches of {{p|Corsola}} or coral reefs. As shown in ''[[SS016|Luvdisc is a Many Splendored Thing!]]'', when two Luvdisc kiss, they are able to use their slender bodies as wings in order to fly for short periods of time. {{p|Pelipper}} is a natural predator of Luvdisc.

==In the manga==
[[File:Wallace Elizabeth.png|200px|thumb|Luvdisc in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[Wallace]] has a Luvdisc nicknamed Elizabeth that debuted in ''[[PS222|Short Shift for Shiftry]]''. She is usually shown out of her [[Poké Ball]], floating along beside him. Wallace relies on her to solve problems, as she is shown doing such things as putting out a burning scarf and releasing a {{p|Lileep}} and {{p|Anorith}} to test {{adv|Ruby}}'s worth at Wallace's request. Also, the two seem to share a bond, as he rarely, if ever, has to specify what he wants her to do. Like all of Wallace's Pokémon in the manga, she is incredibly beautiful and was able to defeat all of Ruby's top Contest Pokémon, excluding [[Feefee]], in an unofficial Contest in a matter of minutes.

Wallace's mentor, [[Juan]], also uses a pair of Luvdisc that first appeared in ''[[PS256|With a Spoink in Your Step II]]'', who observe him as he trained Ruby and {{adv|Sapphire}}.

The Battle Factory rented a Luvdisc which was stolen by [[Guile Hideout]] in ''[[PS334|The Final Battle VII]]''.

==Trivia==
* Due to their similar appearance and identical typing, it was speculated that {{p|Alomomola}} would evolve from Luvdisc upon Alomomola's introduction to the public.

===Origin===
Luvdisc is based on the {{wp|Discus (fish)|discus fish}} and certain other species of fish that appear to kiss each other (such as the {{wp|kissing gourami}}). It is shaped like a {{wp|Heart (symbol)|heart symbol}}. Its {{shiny}} colors may be a reference to having a heart of gold, which signifies a person or being completely without malice, whose nature is loving or caring.
====Name origin====
Luvdisc and Lovecus is a combination of ''love'' and ''{{wp|discus (fish)|discus}}'' or ''disc'' (in reference to its thin, flat body).

Talk:Mienshao (Pokémon)

2018-09-16T00:09:58Z

PixelBytes: /* Etymology？ */ new section

== There is an element of the kung fu in Mienfoo and Mienshao. ==

It was added because there was no Pokemon that did the kung fu up to now. The source is Nintendo Dream vol.205.

My English is unskilled. Please add the fact to the origin. [[User:Sawamular101|Sawamular101]] 02:17, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

== Possible Han Dynasty connection? ==

Recently visited an exhibition in Cambridge UK about tombs of Han Dynasty China, 2nd century BC. Among the exhibits were earthenware figurines, wearing costumes with extremely long sleeves, representing court dancers of the period. Such dance and dancers are occasionally seen in Beijing today.

Such traditional dancers seems to be very strongly echoed in Meinshao's overall appearance. Being something of a Pokemon fan, this notion stuck in my mind while studying the exhibits. What do you think, and should it be included in Trivia? 19.35 28 Sept 2013 [[User:Jaylaw|Jaylaw]] ([[User talk:Jaylaw|talk]]) 18:52, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
:Honestly, I remember seeing the exact same thing when I took my Japanese classes, but I couldn't remember what they were called. I personally think it's notable if we could find a name for the dancers. [[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 19:23, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
::[http://arts.cultural-china.com/en/87Arts7305.html You mean these?] Can't tell if Shuixui is the term for the dance or the article themselves, though. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * the [[User talk:ArcToraphim|Arc]] [[Special:Contributions/ArcToraphim|Toraph]] 19:31, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
:::I think it's more of a reference to Chinese operas than just Han Dynasty alone. Shuixiu (水袖) refers to those two long white sleeves attached to the cuffs of dance costumes. It could also refer to the technique of using it. They're used by opera performers to express the emotions of their character. --[[User:神奇超龍|'''超龍''']]「'''[[User talk:神奇超龍|Chao]]'''」 10:04, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

== Possible name origin? ==

I recently discovered that Mien is a word. I looked it up on an online dictionary and this is what it came up with:

air, bearing, or demeanor, as showing character, feeling, etc.:
"a man of noble mien."

It might just be how I have seen Mienshao portrayed influencing me, I'm not really sure, but doesn't that sort of fit Mienshao? [[User:Zichqec|Zichqec]] ([[User talk:Zichqec|talk]]) 19:23, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

== Etymology？ ==

"Meinshao" is not a possible name in Chinese, Japanese, or Korean even though it's very clearly Chinese (or just Asian). So there's no way to translate it especially considering its not even the name for any of those 3. Although. "Shao" ( 少 ) is translatable (Meaning Little, Few, inadequate, Deficient) it has nothing to do with what the pokemon actually is. So is there any info on the Etymology? Did the people behind English names just think it sounds Asian?

PS. Does someone know the Cantonese name? We only have the Mandarin name up.

'''Dawn''' (Japanese: '''ヒカリ''' ''Hikari'') is a ten-year-old [[Pokémon Coordinator]] and a former {{ashfr|traveling companion}} of {{Ash}} and {{an|Brock}}. Her goal is to become a great [[Top Coordinator]] like her [[mother]], [[Johanna]]. Her [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]] was a {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} that she received from [[Professor Rowan]] in the [[DP001|first ''Diamond & Pearl'' series episode]].

==History==
==={{series|Diamond & Pearl}}===
[[File:Dawn debut.png|thumb|left|220px|Dawn's debut appearance]]
Dawn began her [[Pokémon journey]] with an overconfident {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}. She wasn't able to gain his trust at first, but after rescuing him from a swarm of {{p|Ariados}}, the two became friends. Unlike {{an|May}}, she knew from the beginning that she wanted to follow in her mother's footsteps and be a {{pkmn|Coordinator}}. After meeting {{Ash}} and {{an|Brock}}, she decided to travel with them, as their experience would likely be helpful to her. Like Ash, she is lucky enough to have seen a [[Legendary Pokémon]] at the start of her journey, the projected soul of {{p|Mesprit}} in ''[[DP001|Following A Maiden's Voyage!]]''.

When Dawn began her journey she took a [[bicycle]], but like {{an|Misty}}'s and {{an|May}}'s bikes, [[Ash's Pikachu]] destroyed it with his {{m|Thunderbolt}}. However, she did not mention this to Ash until [[DP038|more than thirty episodes]] after it happened, yet only to acknowledge it as an honest accident due to a desperate situation, and didn't hold it against either Ash or Pikachu for it. Dawn also had planned to take a large suitcase full of clothing with her, but her mother made her leave it at home due to its impracticality. Instead, Dawn took a [[Bag|backpack]] her mother had prepared for her. Johanna also gave Dawn the first [[Ribbon]] she earned as a Coordinator as a good luck charm, an item that would recur throughout the series as a symbol of Dawn's determination.

Upon arriving in [[Jubilife City]], she registered for a [[Contest Pass]] for the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]]. She also obtained a [[Ball Capsule]] and some [[Seal]]s and introduced her Contest cry, which is "Spotlight!" in the English dub and "Charm up!" in the original Japanese version. Dawn lost her first {{pkmn|Contest}} in ''[[DP012|Arrival of a Rival!]]'' to [[Zoey]], who became one of her closest friends and greatest [[rival]]s after the Contest. After her loss, an upset Dawn called her mother, but Johanna told Dawn not to rely on her and instead rely on friends and Pokémon. Eventually, in Dawn's [[DP027|second official Contest]], she was able to narrowly beat her childhood friend {{si|Kenny}} to win her first [[Ribbon]].

[[File:Dawn Contest debut.png|thumb|220px|Dawn in her first Pokémon Contest]]
Dawn regularly {{pkmn|training|trained}} her Pokémon for Contests and took the opportunity to practice her skills with Zoey whenever the two met, such as in ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]''. Zoey was always helpful to Dawn during their meetings and helped inspire her to come up with new [[Contest combination|combinations]]. However, even with Zoey's help Dawn was not able to perfect {{AP|Buizel}}'s [[Ash's Buizel#Moves improvised|Ice Aqua Jet]] despite coming up with the idea. Ash later accomplished Ice Aqua Jet in the [[Wallace Cup]], after Buizel had been traded to him.

Despite her confidence and Contest training, in ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night!]]'' when she competed in the [[Hearthome City]] Contest she lost in the Appeals Round, making her the first main character to be eliminated from a Contest after the first round. In ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]'', she did not pass the Appeals Round for the second time in a row, due to being overzealous with Ambipom's Swift appeal out of desperation to make up for the previous loss. This marked a notable change in Dawn's character. After the second blow to her self-esteem, she didn't know what to do and was still very upset throughout ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]''. After this, she became more focused and regained her confidence after {{pkmn|battle|battling}} [[Maylene]] in ''[[DP067|Crossing the Battle Line!]]''. She also began to practice in earnest for all her Contest's [[appeal|performances]] and [[Contest Battle|battles]]. Following [[Zoey]]'s advice to show off the Pokémon and not its moves, Dawn was able to pass through the first round in the [[Wallace Cup]] and eventually break her losing streak by narrowly defeating {{an|May}} in the final round of the competition in ''[[DP079|Strategy With a Smile!]]''. Since this turning point, Dawn has maintained her focus and humility.

After learning of the upcoming Contest in [[Celestic Town]], Dawn became very dedicated in her training to the point of overworking her Pokémon in ''[[DP092|A Lean Mean Team Rocket Machine!]]''. Due to her intense efforts, she managed to win the Contest in ''[[DP095|Battling The Generation Gap!]]''. One of Dawn's [[Contest combination|combinations]] in that Contest gave {{Ash}} the inspiration for one of his notable tactics which he uses later on, the [[Counter Shield]]. In ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]'', her {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}} began to disobey her after [[Evolution|evolving]]. Despite this, she was still eager to train it well and finally gained its trust after healing it in ''[[DP119|Trials and Adulations!]]''. However, Mamoswine still rebelled and disobeyed Dawn after it was hit by an attack and lost its temper in the semifinals of the {{to|Lilypad}} {{pkmn|Contest}} in ''[[DP146|Dressed for Jess Success!]]''. Even though this caused Dawn to lose the Contest, she remained calm and optimistic that her and Mamoswine would be victorious the next time.

Her encounter with {{an|Mesprit}}, like Ash and Brock's encounters with {{an|Azelf}} and {{an|Uxie}} respectively, proved to be fate as [[Team Galactic]] intended to capture the [[lake guardians]] to awaken {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} in the [[Spear Pillar]]. The lake guardians communicated telepathically with Ash, Dawn and Brock and {{m|teleport}}ed them to the [[Team Galactic HQ|Team Galactic Headquarters]]. With the help of [[Cynthia]], the three Trainers foiled Team Galactic's plans and freed the lake guardians in ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]''

[[File:Dawn Poffins.png|thumb|left|220px|Dawn's [[Poffin]]s]]
In ''[[DP155|Double-Time Battle Training!]]'', Dawn, Ash, and Brock watched Zoey compete in the [[Brussel Town]] Pokémon Contest. Zoey was victorious, and to celebrate [[Candice]] treated the group to an array of desserts. During their meal, Candice introduced the [[Tamato Berry]] Ice Cream Sandwich, describing it as "hot and spicy on the inside and cold on the outside", and saying that oftentimes things that don't seem to go well together are actually the most compatible. The dessert and Candice's words inspired Dawn to create a new combination using {{t|Ice}}- and {{type|Fire}} [[move]]s. After many failed attempts, she perfected her technique called Flame Ice, which involved Cyndaquil using {{m|Flame Wheel}} while being encased in Mamoswine's {{m|Ice Shard}} attack. She used this move later in the {{to|Daybreak}} {{pkmn|Contest}}.

She has two childhood friends that appeared in the {{pkmn|anime}}, {{si|Kenny}} and [[Leona]], both of whom call her '''Dee Dee''' (Japanese: '''ピカリ''' ''Pikari''). Dawn has prevented them from telling Ash and Brock about the reason why she has this nickname, but in ''[[DP161|Yes in Dee Dee, It's Dawn!]]'', it was revealed that the reason for the name was due to her hair glittering (ピカピカ ''pikapika'') after being shocked by the class pets in her kindergarten, {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}}, making it appear that she had '''D'''iamond '''D'''andruff. Due to the trauma from being teased by her entire class with the nickname, she has a certain fear of Plusle and Minun.

In the final round of the [[Daybreak Town]] Pokémon Contest, [[Ursula]] battled Dawn using her Plusle and Minun and deliberately had her Pokémon shock Dawn's hair to recreate "Diamond Dandruff". Even though Dawn temporarily succumbed to her trauma, she was able to overcome her inhibition with Mamoswine's and Cyndaquil's encouragement. Ultimately, she defeated Ursula, winning her final fifth Ribbon as well as the opportunity to participate in the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]].

[[File:Young Dawn.png|thumb|240px|Young Dawn]]
She later trained in ''[[DP167|Teaching the Student Teacher!]]'' where she came up with a new tactic for the [[Grand Festival]], the Ice Chandelier, which she managed to perfect by trial and error. Though she originally wanted to see Pachirisu use its Discharge attack while surrounded by Mamoswine's Ice Shard, she eventually decided to cover Pachirisu in a larger bubble of ice from Buneary's {{m|Ice Beam}}. This gave Pachirisu enough room to run, making Ice Chandelier look its best. Besides coming up with combination moves, she also acquired a new Pokémon, {{TP|Dawn|Togekiss}}. Dawn trained with Togekiss in ''[[DP172|With the Easiest of Grace!]]'' to find a way to battle with it while not ignoring its need to move gracefully, and she was eventually able to adjust her own battling style to accommodate her new Pokémon.

Dawn entered the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] in ''[[DP174|Last Call — First Round!]]'', using her Buneary and Cyndaquil in the Appeals Round. She progressed through the round and battled [[Ursula]] first in [[DP175|the next episode]]. With Mamoswine and Pachirisu she was able to successfully use her combination Ice Chandelier to defeat [[Ursula's Gabite]] and {{p|Flareon}}. In the [[DP176|following episode]], she defeated [[Jessie|Jessilina]] and progressed to the [[DP177|finals]]. Dawn would face Zoey in the final round, which fulfilled the promise the two had made with each other after their first Contest to some day meet in the last round of the Grand Festival.

It was a very evenly matched and close fight between her Piplup and Togekiss and [[Zoey's Glameow]] and {{p|Gallade}}, but in the end Dawn lost. After the finals, she met with her mother and returned the Ribbon Johanna had given her as a good luck charm at the very start of her journey. Dawn said that she no longer needed to walk in her mother's shadow, and only needed her Pokémon's care and support to become a Top Coordinator, proving to her mother and to herself how much she had grown as a Trainer.

[[File:Zoey and Dawn.png|thumb|left|240px|Dawn and Zoey]]
After the competition, Zoey told Dawn that [[Candice]] was throwing a victory party for her in [[Snowpoint City]] and that Dawn was also welcome; however, Dawn declined the invitation, stating that she still wanted to support Ash in his upcoming battle at [[Sunyshore Gym]] and in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]. She then thanked all the Pokémon that had traveled with her through Sinnoh for their hard work and pledged to not give up her dream of being a [[Top Coordinator]].

After Ash competed in the [[Sinnoh League]], she contemplated whether or not to go with Ash and Brock to [[Kanto]]. However, she received invitation by [[Paris]] for her {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} to work with her for a short while as a Pokémon fashion model and decided to stay in [[Sinnoh]]. Dawn and Ash later shared a final high-five, their trademark exchange throughout the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, before Ash and Brock left for Kanto.

After Buneary's modeling work with Paris was completed, Dawn decided to spend some time at home before considering her next move on her journey to become Top Coordinator. In [[SS024]], Dawn decided to go to the [[Hoenn]] region, since Hoenn is the region Contests originated from. However, though she was certain she would take Piplup, she did not know if she should take all of her other Pokémon with her to Hoenn or not. She sought advice from Professor Rowan, who instead sent her to help a new Trainer who was having trouble deciding what her first Pokémon would be. Dawn and [[Shinko]] ran into an {{p|Ariados}}'s web, reminiscent of the first challenge Dawn faced with Piplup. Dawn's Cyndaquil evolved into Quilava in order to protect the two Trainers, and it was then that Dawn realized all of her Pokémon still had potential to grow with her. She decided to take all her Pokémon to Hoenn with her and soon left on her new adventure with her dream of becoming a Top Coordinator burning as bright as ever.

Dawn briefly appeared in a picture on {{an|Brock}}'s memory wall in the side story episode [[SS025]].

==={{series|Best Wishes}}===
In ''[[BW085|All for the Love of Meloetta!]]'', it was revealed that Dawn had traveled to the [[Unova]] region and was staying in [[Cynthia]]'s villa in [[Undella Town]] while the {{pkmn|Champion}} was visiting [[Virbank City]]. She would return with Ash, with whom Dawn got to reunite, and Ash's new friends, {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}}, whom Dawn met for the first time. She also battled Cilan, using her Piplup against his {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}}, but because the battle was interrupted, no winner was identified. She became a good friend of Iris when they traveled to the Onix Island in ''[[BW087|Expedition to Onix Island!]]'' and was surprised by the unfamiliar Pokémon native to the Unova region, such as {{p|Foongus}}.

Before coming to [[Undella Town]], Dawn had visited [[Nimbasa City]] where she watched a [[Pokémon Musical]] and one of [[Elesa]]'s fashion shows. She also revealed that she would enter the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]]. She would later make it to [[BW091|the second round]] before her Mamoswine was defeated by [[Iris's Dragonite]], despite the fact that Dragonite still wasn't listening to Iris's orders.

Later, in ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]'', she met {{un|Cameron}}, along with Ash, Iris and Cilan. When they arrived at Cynthia's villa in Undella Town, she announced her intention to head to [[Johto]] to compete in the Wallace Cup being held there. After battling Ash, using her Quilava against Ash's Pikachu, and saying their farewells, she and Piplup boarded the flight to [[Blackthorn City]].

Dawn later appeared during a fantasy in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''.

===''[[M20|I Choose You!]]''===
Dawn made a cameo appearance in the ending credits of ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]''.

==Character==
[[File:Dawn brushing hair.png|thumb|250px|Dawn brushing her hair]]
Dawn is notable for her confidence, since she almost always tries to look towards the future rather than dwell on her mistakes. In stark contrast to {{an|May}}'s inexperience and self-doubt at the start of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, Dawn was overly confident and assured in her own strength at the beginning of her journey. Because of this, she became emotional after she was eliminated from Pokémon Contests, and often cried after losing. After failing to pass the Performance Stage two times in a row, Dawn became depressed. In ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]'', Dawn remembered these failures and had to excuse herself so she could cry. These behaviors were completely opposite those she had exhibited at the beginning of her journey, something Ash and Brock took notice of. Their encouragement was not enough to renew her psyche though, and it was not until she defeated {{an|May}} to win the [[Wallace Cup]] that she truly regained her confidence and focus. After this point, Dawn took on a more positive and determined personality. In addition, she became more mature. Instead of reverting to her old headstrong and confident attitude, she became more aware of her faults and how she could work to overcome them.

In the Japanese version, Dawn's catchphrase is, "{{tt|Daijōbu!|'It's fine!' or 'Don't worry!'}}" Although not consistently translated in the English dub at first, she began to regularly use "No need to worry!". Dawn has a best friend-like relationship with Ash, and they often shared a high five when one of them accomplished something.

A key example of Dawn's growth and maturity occurred in ''[[DP119|Trials and Adulations!]]'', in which she was separated from Ash and Brock and her Mamoswine's leg was badly injured. Instead of panicking or trying to force Mamoswine to continue walking, Dawn thought back to lessons Brock had given her about Pokémon care. She recalled that the sap of a plant could help soothe pain and called upon her Pokémon to search for it. Dawn applied the sap, wrapped the wound, formed a bed of leaves for Mamoswine, and gathered food and {{Berries}} for it to eat. Dawn was ultimately rewarded, and this episode gained her Mamoswine's respect and loyalty. Dawn's actions go deeper than that though, they are evidence of her growth as a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and person.

Over the course of her journey in Sinnoh, Dawn was able to come up with various combinations to show up her Pokémon's looks and strength. This began with something as simple as making her Piplup's beak grow longer when using {{m|Peck}}, a technique she used even until the end of the Grand Festival. She later followed with simple spinning, which her Piplup and Buneary first practiced for a while in [[Oreburgh City]]. The spinning move was adapted by Ash in his first [[Gym]] battle in Sinnoh.

[[File:Dawn snow pt.png|thumb|left|250px|Dawn in her winter clothes]]
Later on, Dawn began experimenting with more complex combinations, such as Flame Ice and Ice Chandelier. After a lot of practice, Dawn's Pokémon were able to master these combinations in battle. Coincidentally, both of these moves were used to defeat [[Ursula]].

Originally, Dawn had great concern about her appearance and would not show herself to Ash or Brock until she felt that her appearance was acceptable. In fact, Dawn often slept in a tent while Ash and Brock slept outside. However, after ''[[DP053|Tears for Fears!]]'', Dawn began to sleep outside as well and was less concerned with her appearance in front of Ash and Brock. This may have been an indicator that she had become more focused as a Trainer and Coordinator, paying more attention to her Pokémon and less attention to her looks. Even so, whenever Dawn knew she was going to be on camera, she would pause to brush her hair, such as in ''[[DP174|Last Call - First Round!]]'' when {{si|Rhonda}} wanted to interview her for her broadcast of the Grand Festival.

Dawn also has an interest in fashion and often reads the {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Poké Chic}} magazine. In ''[[DP070|The Bells Are Singing!]]'', Dawn revealed that she was the one to design {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}'s vest, but also admitted that her mother was the one to sew it. In ''[[DP086|Arriving in Style!]]'', she demonstrated her talent for designing again, sketching many different outfits for the [[Hearthome Collection]]. Though she was initially unsure about her creations, she set her mind on designing simple dresses and accessories after realizing the actual role of a [[Pokémon Stylist]]. For that, she was praised by [[Hermione]], who said Dawn has the true spirit of a Stylist.

==Pokémon==
[[File:Dawn Party.png‎|thumb|250px|Dawn's current party]]
Most of the Pokémon that Dawn captured were cute and small like her starter, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}.

Initially, due to her lack of experience, Dawn had difficulties dealing with her Pokémon properly. For instance, she would often bicker with Piplup and her Pachirisu would hit unwanted targets with its {{m|Discharge}}. Even later on in the ''Diamond & Pearl'' series, after most of her Pokémon had become obedient, her Mamoswine had a tendency to get angry and disobey her. It was not until ''[[DP119|Trials and Adulations!]]'' that Dawn was fully able to manage all of her Pokémon. Despite the many issues she had at first, Dawn always deeply cared for her Pokémon, especially for Piplup.

As a Pokémon Coordinator, Dawn trained her Pokémon for both [[appeal]]s and [[Contest Battle|battles]]. Because of this, she learned to utilize her Pokémon's capabilities creatively. For example, she trained Buneary to use {{m|Ice Beam}} various ways, which proved helpful in the many Contests Dawn participated in. She was also able to pull off successful combinations with her Togekiss in the finals of the Grand Festival, despite not having trained it for very long compared to her other Pokémon.

==Trivia==
[[File:Dawn rivals.png|thumb|370px|All of Dawn's rivals as seen in [[The Greatest - Everyday!]]]]
* Dawn is the first of Ash's female traveling companions to not be related to a [[Gym Leader]].
* Dawn is the first traveling companion to have the new Sugimori style eyes.
* On the [[Pokémon Learning League]] website, [[List of clothing in the anime|her clothing]] has been altered so that her white undershirt has sleeves and she is wearing black stockings or tights.
* Dawn's Japanese name is Hikari, and [[Zoey|her main rival]]'s is Nozomi. The ''{{wp|Hikari (train)|Hikari}}'' and the ''{{wp|Nozomi (train)|Nozomi}}'' are two {{wp|Shinkansen}} "bullet train" lines in Japan. The Nozomi is faster than the Hikari, possibly symbolizing that Zoey is farther along in her coordinating skills than Dawn.
* When Dawn temporarily returned to the show in the {{series|Best Wishes}}, she returned for nine episodes. This is longer than both {{an|Misty}} and {{an|May}}, who returned to the show for seven and five episodes, respectively; Misty's return was on three different occasions for a total of seven.
** Dawn is also the only one between them not to use a new outfit during her return.
** She is also the only one to not have a change in her [[party]].
** She is also the only one to not encounter {{TRT}} during her return.
* Out of Ash's female traveling companions, Dawn has met the most of Ash's main rivals, having met {{Gary}} and [[Paul]] during her original run and having met [[Trip]] during her return.
* Dawn is the only [[Pokémon Coordinator]] in the anime to compete for the same {{pkmn|Contest}} [[Ribbon]] twice.
* Dawn is the first of [[Ash's friends]] to battle against an [[Elite Four]] member; she battled against [[Lucian]].
* Dawn is the only main character to be mentioned in the summary of the Japanese opening themes along with Ash.
* Dawn is the first female traveling companion not to have [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]] Pokémon officially under their ownership.

==Mew's abilities==

In the first movie, mew used a bubble of pink psychic energy to save Ash. It also utilized this ability several other times throughout the movie. However, this is not stated in the "special abilities" section, alhtough what is stated is that mew can create forcefields. Forcefields and pink bubbles are two different things, this is best shown by the contrast between Mew "forcefield" in pokemon snap (which is also yellow/green) and Mew's Bubble in the first movie. So does anyone mind if I add in the bit about the pink bubbles? {{unsigned|Wikid}}

No, please do so. Add a picture if you feel like it. Just make sure it meets quality standards. [[User:LordArceus|LordArceus]] 23:51, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

== Mew doesn't listen? ==

Mew doesn't listen to its original trainer? Is this true? --[[User:Pluvia|Pluvia]] 20:52, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Is this always the case? I've seen a hacked Mew (Gen IV) that (according to the owner) is completely obedient. Could this be because the friendship level is so high, or is it just a fluke? [[User:Featherflame|Featherflame]] 20:51, 8/10/07

Mew and Deoxys are obedient in Gen IV even if they're hacked. [[User:Vereux0|Vereux0]] 20:08, 8/20/07

In Gen III, Mew and Deoxys have an obediance bit. If this is missing, they won't obey. It is possible to hack a Mew or Deoxys and have it obey. To answer the question, it depends on how it's hacked. - [[User:MacGyver|MacGyver]]
:And the obedience bit is automatically turned on when they get transferred over through Pal Park, I believe. '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 02:50, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

If a mew that is transfered from a GBA game that was hacked to get it,will it corrupt the D/P game? And will it listen? I'm just asking. [[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User:MAXDude17]]

There is no obedient bit in Diamond/Pearl. It was a feature that was intentionally removed. [[User:Sabresite|Sabresite]] 08:18, 24 March 2009 (GMT)

=== Later discussion ===
The Mew Glitch is a perfectly legitimate way to capture Mew, considering the fact that [[Shigeki Morimoto]] programmed it in on purpose.
[[User:MasterZ|MasterZ]] ([[User talk:MasterZ|talk]])

:He didn't program in the Mew glitch; he programmed in the Pokemon Mew itself. The glitch is not intrinsically related to Mew itself; it was only named as such because it happened to become famous for being a non-hacking way to obtain Mew. It doesn't belong in the Game Locations section because literally every Generation I Pokemon (and, to my knowledge, every Gen I glitch Pokemon as well) can be obtained via the glitch.

== I must be insane.... ==

Ok so Arceus tottaly conflicts with with mew but arceus came from an egg. What if mew was the egg and therefor is the ancestor of all pokemon mew just didnt "create" any new pokemon. In fact it was never even mentioned (to my knowlage) that he did. So therefor mew remains to look like a embryo (catching drift egg) and we shall never know~kittenchild
:which came first, the {{tt|Arceus|Chicken}} or the {{tt|Mew|Egg}}? -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 03:02, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Well by my theory and using the myths it states that "...at the heart of chaos where all things became one, appeared an Egg. Having tumbled from the vortex, the Egg gave rise to the original one." This states that the egg came before arceus. {{unsigned|Kittenchild}}

::Arceus was born from the cosmic Egg, but Mew contains the DNA of all Pokémon. It can be assumed that Arceus is the Creator and first Pokémon, but Mew is the common ancestor (assuming Arceus wasn't like Zeus who went spreading his genes all over the landscape).--[[User:Urutapu|Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？]] ([[User talk:Urutapu|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Urutapu|contribs]]) 03:21, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

oh and by this theory im not saying arceus didnt create the pokemon universe im saying mew didnt realy "create" anything he just kinda was there... and his Dna is in everything (pokemon of course) {{unsigned|Kittenchild}}
:Mew's Pokadex entry says that it is the ancestor of ALL Pokamon. And Arceus is the fat ass who created EVERYTHING (I then assume this includes <s>Mewtwo</s> Mew too). So, did Mew evolve into Arceus? Or did Arceus create Mew? It's all very confusing. Posted by the '''[[User:Optimus35|<sc>Θρtιmαtum♏</sc>]][[User talk:Ph34r4ever|Talk]]|[[User:Optimus35/sig/Pikachu|Links]]''08:06 21 May 2008'''''

Arceus created Mew, then Mew created/whatever/evolved(evolved as in Apes into Humans, not Bulbasaur into Ivysaur)/mutated into other Pokémon. Maybe thats how it happened? [[User:Takoto|Takoto タコト]]| サソデイ = 愛 09:48, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

::Hmm...errr...This is getting confusing!

::::...I know Arceus is a Pokémon i was just saying :\ Look. The way i see it, Arceus came first, created Mew, and Mew became the other Pokémon (not like, the Legendaries). Just because it's the ancestor of all Pokémon doesn't mean it's the ansector of the God Pokémon, i'm sure Mew isn't the ancestor of the Legendaries as it says Arceus created Palkia, Diagla and Giratina and some others (if i remember rightly!). [[User:Takoto|Takoto タコト]]| サソデイ = 愛 15:32, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

No noo noo. I meant mew hatched arceus (being the egg and all) and therefor because mew "created" (not realy) arceus' gentic meterial then arceus went to create the rest of the pokemon that genetic meterial caried over and mew never realy did squat... {{unsigned|Kittenchild}}

Ok, this is what happened. First come Arceus. He say "I wanna Dialga and Palkia." And he made them. Next he say "Now i want universe." So he made universe. Next he say "I want living things." So he made Mew who laid eggs of Pokémon, and live-birthed humans. They all got up, but they each had no souls. Arceus say "Imma gonna give you souls." So he maid the lake trio who gave them all souls. Arceus fell asleep. Teh end. You can quote me on that. [[User:LordKaien|LordKaien]] 16:18, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
:But Mew's Pokédex entry states that it's the ancestor of ''all'' Pokémon. Here's what I think happened:
#The egg of Arceus is created from the chaos.
#The egg hatches.
#The eggshell, which was made of genetic material, forms into Mew. (This makes Mew the ancestor of Arceus.)
#Arceus creates Dialga and Palkia. (This makes Mew the ancestor of Dialga and Palkia.)
#Arceus creates Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf. (This makes Mew the ancestor of Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf.)
#Mew's descendants are all slightly different, and their descendants are slightly more different, and so on, until there are all of the different species of Pokémon. (This makes Mew the ancestor of all other Pokémon.)

--[[User talk:Shiny Noctowl|Shiny Noctowl]] 00:07, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

:The Pokédex in ''Diamond & Pearl'' doesn't specifically state that Mew may be the ancestor of ''all'' Pokémon.

You have to admit, it may be that Arceus created Mew, then Mew created the rest of the Pokémon. At least, that's what it looks like.[[User:BlueJirachi|BlueJirachi]] 20:00, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

:That's the idea I had as well. Arceus took to slumber after creating reality and Mew created all other Pokémon. Perhaps Arceus created all Legendaries and Mew created the rest.

Yeah, only a few people in Sinnoh know about other Legendaries living in their own backyard like Cresselia and Heatran. The book in Canalave City apparently refers to Arceus as the "Original One", meaning that Arceus came before Mew.[[User:BlueJirachi|BlueJirachi]] 20:20, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
:: General consensus is all that is indicated by the Pokedex. Arceus is known to have created Palkia and Dialga, who in turn created the universe, while he created Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf, who are credited with the creation of "spirit". This obviously makes them the progenitors of pokemon and humans. It's also worth noting that they all bear a more-than-superficial resemblance to Mew, all being extraordinarily powerful psychic pokemon. Mew, I believe, was their first collaborative creation, combining the essences of Knowledge, Emotion and Willpower into a single entity. It was unstable, so as it laid eggs, they hatched into things that definitely were NOT Mew. That instability diluted acrost generations until pokemon species were all stable (except, of course, Mew). The exemptions to this origin are Arceus, Palkia, Dialga, and the Lake Trio, for obvious reasons; Giratina, likely spontaneously creating itself upon the first death; and Darkrai, created gradually by psychoses, rage, and bad pizza forming nightmares. Shaymin most likely IS Mew-descended as we have no reason to think otherwise. Forgive me for talking so heavily in-universe, and remember all this is prefaced with "I believe...".

Arceus creates the dragon trio and the lake trio.
Giratina disappears into the Ruined World.
Dialga and Palkia create matter, space, and time.
Azelf, Uxie, and Mesprit create spirit.
Arceus falls into a deep sleep.
Creation of Pokémon world
Groudon is formed from magma, Kyogre is formed by the pressure in the deep sea trenches, Rayquaza is formed by the minerals of the ozone layer.
Groudon brings the land, Kyogre expands the sea.
Mew is born.
Groudon and Kyogre battle, destroying nearly all the Hoenn region.
Rayquaza stopped the battle between Groudon and Kyogre. Both Pokémon were fallen into deep sleep: Kyogre was sealed into the Deep-Sea Seafloor cavern, and Groudon was sealed on the Mystic caves of Mt. Chimney. Red and Blue Orbs were created and guarded in the high peaks of Mt. Pyre to prevent the awakening of Kyogre and Groudon which will start into a battle.
Rayquaza had fallen into a deep sleep and sealed away into the ancient Sky Pillar.
Mt. Coronet is created.
Regigigas moves the continents.
The Sinnoh region is created around Mt. Coronet
Stark Mountain is created, Heatran is formed from lava. --[[Mew (Pokémon)|M]][[User:MyUU|yU]][[User talk:MyUU|U]] 18:50, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

This topic has filled up with wonderful speculation (come on, seriosuly? Arceus's egg becoming Mew?), but it hardly matters because there is no conflict. Please note that NEVER has it ever been said that Mew is the ancestor of Pokémon; in a Dex entry it said that was ''believed'' to be true because it contains every Pokémon's DNA.

So... What if Mew was the first one? I mean, Arceus could have made universe, time, space, dimentions, etc. but mew made dialga, palkia, giratina... Also, life was made by mew, earth was made by the weather trio, and the life in it was made by mew, so it is the ancestor of everyone, maybe arceus doesnt have mews dna, as noone in the pokemon world knows about it... so scientist could say that of the 492 pokemon known, mew has dna of every... couldn't it be?- ''unsigned comment from [[User:Kamusioso|Kamusioso]] ([[User talk:Kamusioso|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Kamusioso|contribs]]){{ #if: | {{{2}}} |}}''

Here`s my opinion: It is possible that Mew was the first pokemon created by Arceus, and therefore has the DNA of all the OTHER pokemon.

Well, we don't know if the PokeDex is right, I mean, Oak doesn't know EVERYTHING. Also, no one ever caught Mew, so we don't know if it has all of the DNA of all of the pokemon. I think Arceus created the universe,and the dragon trio and the lake trio, and Arceus set the chain of events that would create the 'nature' Legendaries, like Groudon coming from magma, ect. But what about Deoxys? Where did Deoxys come from. In the anime it says from outer space. So, that would mean that Palkia would have created Deoxys, and Raquaza. {{unsigned|Shadow lucario}}

:First off, Palkia does NOT represent Outer Space. It represents "Space", as in, wormholes, fabrics (Not clothes fabrics, Science fabrics.), "Space/Time Continuum", etc. Secondly, considering how Arceus is listed to be a Pokemon in the Pokedex, not to mention it's data is easily recorded into the Pokedex as well, most likely researchers DO know about Arceus' existance (not just believing, actually knowing it exists and having samples of it's DNA.). So they didn't capture Mew, big whoop. They identified it in the Pokedex, nonetheless. I still think it's Mew who created Arceus, and until they actually clarify what they meant for starting this debate, we still have to think that Arceus was a genetic descendant of Mew, considering Mew's mentions of containing the DNA of Pokemon (Yes, it technically doesn't say "All" in there, but it doesn't say "Some", "Few", "Many", or any of those restrictive nouns either. Plus, using generalizations (Like just saying Pokemon), regardless of whether it actually says "all" or not, usually implies that it's meaning all.

I didn't read most of everything said, i just thought i'd put in my bits. Mew seems to me like the "Evolution" in pokemon: they're all evolved down from Mew, because he is the embryo. Like, Mew is the Darwin pokemon they've all evolved from (not pokemon evolution, but Darwin evolution). Arceus, on the other hand, is more of a God figure, which contradicts Evolution. So like... i don't see how they fit in the same world, but Pokemon is quite the odd game, haha!

==Initial Design==
I was reading up on Mew over on Wikipedia (they sometimes have more real-world information that I consider more interesting than the in-game stuff) and came across some information that I'm not quite sure if I should believe. It's generally believed that Tajiri secretly designed and inserted Mew into the programming, though Wikipedia claims this:

"Unlike other characters in the Pokémon franchise, Mew was not initially conceived by Ken Sugimori, but by Game Freak programmer Shigeki Morimoto. Morimoto programmed Mew into the game secretly, just prior to its release in Japan, intending it to be a Pokémon Game Freak staff members would know about and be able to obtain.[2] However, in the spring of 1996, Game Freak president Satoshi Tajiri used the Japanese manga journal Korokoro Comic as an experimental exhibition of Mew and distributed the first cards for the game as free giveaways,[3] which surprised many at Game Freak, including Morimoto.[2] Due to the success of the experiment on April 15, 1996, Game Freak announced a contest to publicly release Mew to 151 winners.[4] Tajiri described using Mew to create hype around an "invisible character" within the game and to keep interest alive in the title and create rumors and myths about the game passed around by word of mouth,[5] which resulted in increased sales for the game.[6]"

This quotation seems to suggest that a Shigeki Morimoto (who doesn't have an article here) designed Mew in an attempt to have some special secret for the designers, which was then turned into a marketing ploy by Tajiri. Now, if something like this were true I'd be inclined to believe Bulbapedia would have the information for this, yet it doesn't seem to.

The information to confirm or deny this is found on reference [2], yet the page is in Japanese so I cannot read it. All the other citations suggest it was solely Tajiri that planned and implemented Mew. So, can anyone help me with a little research and figure this out?

== Not two Mews ==

Never does it say that the Mew in movie 8 is different from the Mew in movie 1. They are one in the same unless you can prove otherwise. Since Mew was the first Pokemon it is unique.

:It's two ''separate'' until proven otherwise. Yes, nothing says they're different, but nothing too says they're the same.

Umm no. Mew has been specifically stated to be the 1st Pokemon and one of a kind in several sources. Ergo there is only one. Mewtwo was a clone of Mew. THE MEW. Hence only one exists. Legendary's are supposed to be one of a kind unless later disproven. Mew is ONE UNIQUE Pokemon. More sources and media points to One Mew than two seperate Mews.

Umm correct me if Ima wrong but didn't Ash change voice actors? And since when does the voice acting matter in the characters themselves? And even though Games=anime that doesn't rule out that MORE games point to the same conclusion than the fewer anime canon sources. And your forgetting official handbooks and pokedexes that have been released over the years. All pointing out that Mew is unique. Hence once more there is no real proof that these Mew are different. In fact it's MORE likely they are the same once you see that Movie 8 own plot. Mew is at the tree because it's in danger. That's it. Movie 1 no danger so Mew can move around as it pleases. It makes sense and keeps with MAJORITY canon. [[User:Genemaxwell4|Genemaxwell4]] 11:26, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
:On the voice actor thing: Mew uses its Japanese voice. There was no voice actor change in the original Japanese, because there was no company change. Not only that, but the actor that played the Mew in movie 1 actually worked on Movie 8 - He was Sir Aaron. If they were meant to be the same, he'd have likely voiced Mew in movie 8 as well. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 19:47, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

::A different actor doesn't mean the character is different... it's quite common to switch actors in movies and stuff. Like, there have been several different actors who have played James Bond and several different actors who have played Bruce Wayne, etc., and these are always portraying the same character (in other words, there aren't multiple British agents named "James Bond" with the number 007 or multiple millionaires living in Gotham going by the name "Bruce Wayne"). Yes, I admit that it's odd that a new actor would be used when the old actor who is capable of playing Mew is working on the same movie, but that still doesn't necesarily make them different characters. That being said, I do think that they are separate. The Mew in the eighth movie used Transform -- an attack that the Mew in the first movie was never shown to have. Perhaps this is because Mew had no reason to Transform in the first movie, but I find it more likely that it's because she was unable to... and Transform is learned at a low level so there's no way she could have just learned it between the two movies. I haven't seen enough of the eighth movie to have any more of an opinion on it, but I think that one detail is enough. Also, it is certainly possible that there could be two Mews in the anime... unlike the games, the legendary Pokémon in the anime are not "one of a kind" (well, not all of them anyway). [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] 04:00, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

== Theory on the Origin Of all Pokémon ==

I have been thinking on this for a while. Consider the relationship between Mew and Ditto.
They both have the same coloration, even their Shiny forms. They are the only Pokémon
to learn Transform (Smeargle via Sketch doesn't count).

So: Mew, all alone, creates a gel-like substance and begins to shape Arceus. Arceus creates
the 16 elemental Plates, then Mew combines the gel and the Plates with the assistance of
Arceus, shaping Dialga (Draco Plate, Iron Plate) Palkia (Draco Plate, Splash Plate), and
Giratina (Draco Plate, Spooky Plate). Those 3 shape Time, Space, and Distortion World,
respectively.

Mew lastly finishes making rest of the Pokémon, again with the gel and the Plates. Thus, we
have the universe and beings to inhabit it. The remaining gel turns into Ditto, keeping
the coloring of Mew and its ability to use Transform.

Anyone want to point out the holes in this theory? I know it's not 100% solid, but it
might be considered plausible, albeit the fact that there is almost zero evidence to
support it. [[User:Pkmn Trainer Red|Pkmn Trainer Red]] 02:26, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

:It's plausible, but the simple fact that it's a theory means it has no place on this page. It's similarities to Ditto are already stated in the trivia, otherwise, this is more forum material. --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] 03:51, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

==Mew to Ditto comparison==
It says that Mew and Ditto are the same colour... this is false. Ditto is Purple. I don't have a Mew in my Pokédex but I'm assuming she's Pink. I'm not editing it in case I read it wrong or something and it means something else, but someone should look into this (either correct it if it's wrong or clarify it because it doesn't make much sense).

==Mew first being made vs. the trademark==
I know similar things have been pointed out, but there's still a problem here... "''Tsunekaz Ishihara revealed that he created Mew two weeks before game development was finished.''" contradicts "''Mew is also the first Pokémon trademark ever applied for; the application was submitted on May 9, 1990''".

Completion of the game development (implying a working version of the game... not just concepts and ideas) definitely came later than 1990. So how could Mew's trademark have been applied for before he was even created? I am aware that companies sometimes trademark things that they don't plan on using, but trademarking a name means that there had to have been some sort of thought process behind it (like, if I was making an RPG I wouldn't just apply for trademarks willy-nilly on random names that have nothing to do with the game on the off-chance that I'll later create a character fitting the name).

The only way I can see these things as not contradicting each other would be if either one is inaccurate or if you were to interpret "created Mew" as "made the finishing touches on Mew" or "finalized the character" rather than the idea of "creating" Mew (as in, starting with nothing and just coming up with the whole idea 2 weeks before game development was finished). [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] 04:13, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
:Only the trademark was issued in 1990. [[Satoshi Tajiri]] or someone else may have conceived Mew as a [[Capsule Monsters]] design (development on this first began in 1990), but there doesn't seem to be any evidence to prove that (at least no one seems to have access to the other 200+ 'Capumon' sketches). Capsule Monsters was actually quite a different concept to the game that would eventually become Pokémon, as the player was meant to live alongside Pokémon and players would rely on them (for example, they would use {{p|Lapras}} for transport) and they would help each other with tasks, as opposed to training them or collecting them for use in battle. The player was going to fight by himself at one point. (my source are some interviews translated by [http://www.glitterberri.com Glitterberri], but the site is unfortunately down at the moment). Mew could have also been something entirely different at the time.

:Yes, Mew was a "last minute" addition to {{2v2|Red|Green}}. It may have been an early design, but was actually programmed into the game very lately. Unlike {{2v2|Red|Blue}}, there isn't much free space available in Red and Green, because it's only a 512KB cartridge. According to an [http://web.archive.org/web/20101125182143/http://nintendodsi.com/iwata-asks-chapter.jsp?interviewId=6&volumeId=1&chapterId=1 Iwata Asks interview] around the development of {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, there were some debugging features remaining in the game, so Morimoto removed those features to create 300 bytes of free space, and then placed some data for Mew in there. This may be supported by the [[Pokémon base stats data structure in Generation I#Storage|Pokémon base stats structure]], in which Mew's base stats are stored at offset 0x00425B. The base stats data normally follow on by Pokédex entry at 0x0383DE starting from {{p|Bulbasaur}}, yet Mew's base stats data do not follow on from {{p|Mewtwo}}. They do, however in {{game|Yellow}}. I suspect it's probably the same case in Red and Green, though I haven't checked. I personally believe Mew replaced one of the Missingno. occupying index number 21 (0x15). --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 13:26, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
::Chances are Mew was designed well before the time it was put in the game. We already know that Missingno. used to be real Pokémon; Mew was likely one of the deleted 50, then undeleted.

Don't forget that Mew is mentioned in the diaries in Pokemon Mansion. I highly doubt those diaries were programmed into the game at the last minute. Also, Mew had to be the basis of the name and design of Mewtwo, which I also doubt was programmed into the game at the last minute.

it doesn't have to have been discovered SCIENTFICIALLY (what the pokedex is based off, research by proffessors), a lot of the experts were sceptical of its existence thinking it was a mirage.

mewtwo was formed out of a piece of Mew's DNA, some form of feather thing, which means it would of been studied before Mew - Camero56

[[User:KoiFish|KoiFish]] ([[User talk:KoiFish|talk]]) 23:18, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
:That was reverted hours ago. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 23:26, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

== Move tutors ==

"mew can learn ''every'' move tutor move except for these 9." to me that just seems a bit silly [[User:0danmaster0|0danmaster0]] ([[User talk:0danmaster0|talk]]) 19:02, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
:Those nine aren't quite Move Tutor moves in the same way that all the others are. Those nine are exclusive to a very restricted subset of Pokemon, almost like [[signature move]]s (which some of them actually are, though most are not). Saying "all except this special type of Tutor" is briefer and just as informative as the long list you can see by hitting "show". Although I agree, it'd sound nicer if we categorized those nine moves as a distinct subset of Move Tutor moves and just said "Mew can learn every Move Tutor move except {{red link|restricted Move Tutor moves}}" (or whatever we decide to call that subset).

== Mew Back Sprite DPPT ==

Mew's back sprite in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum features Mew with yellow/cream circles on the soles of its feet. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, these are purple. Should the alternate back sprite not be provided below at the bottom of the sprite section, as has been done with many other Pokémon with back sprite changes between games in the same generation?--[[User:ShinyPatch|ShinyPatch]] ([[User talk:ShinyPatch|talk]]) 00:22, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

== Google Pokédex ==

Is Mew the only Legendary Pokémon that is part of the April Fools' Day 2014's Google Pokédex, or it's not notable? --[[User:Cinday123|Cinday123]] ''([[User talk:Cinday123|Talk]])'' 03:09, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

== Black2 White2 Locations? ==

Is there a reason that Black and White have two entries each in the in-game locations sections, yet Black2 and White2 are not entered? I do not have the black 2 or white 2 games, so I do not know where/if they can be found in those games. Could someone please enter those? Unless there is some reason for this that I am missing... [[User:8ulb|8ulb]] ([[User talk:8ulb|talk]]) 15:39, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
:It was a typo. --[[User:Funktastic~!|'''It's''' '''Funktastic~!''']][[User talk:Funktastic~!|''話してください'']] 15:58, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

== New 20th Anniversary Artwork ==

Since it is clearly Sugimori artwork, and colored/shaded in the style of Game Artwork, should we make it the new artwork of the page? This would be the precedent for all the other Mythical Pokémon as well, who will presumably get their solo artwork posted as well. Thoughts? (Also, it's the cutest Mew artwork to date.)

--[[User:BlackButterfree|BlackButterfree]] ([[User talk:BlackButterfree|talk]]) 05:50, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
:No. The artwork used in the infobox is always the current main game artwork (except for special dates, as noted at the top of each species talk page when applicable). At this time, the artwork is simply promotional for the 20th Anniversary event, not their main artwork. If the promotional artwork for all of the 20th Anniversary Mythical Pokémon eventually become their official main artwork, only then they will be used as the head image in the infobox. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 19:20, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
::Well, I'm perfectly fine with proposing we discuss the rest of the Mythical Pokémon but I didn't really bring it up since this is just Mew's page.--[[User:BlackButterfree|BlackButterfree]] ([[User talk:BlackButterfree|talk]]) 06:44, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

== Mew only obeys when caught in specific place ==

i have a very dumb question
if im playing pokemon emerald and i change mew from their original island to, say, the starting town, and i catch them, will they still not obey, even if theyre practically the same? does it really need to be in their specific place to be considered 'legit'?
[[User:Mopbop|Mopbop]] ([[User talk:Mopbop|talk]]) 02:09, 30 September 2016 (UTC)
:It needs to be considered a [[fateful encounter]]. That's [[Pokémon data substructures in Generation III#Ribbons and Obedience|a separate flag]]. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 03:19, 30 September 2016 (UTC)

== Sun and Moon Pokedex entries? ==

Shouldn't there be new Pokedex entries from Sun and Moon? Do we just not have them due to nobody has contributed them? Can't find them elsewhere online either, for Mew or Mewtwo. [[User:Avigor|Avigor]] ([[User talk:Avigor|talk]]) 03:19, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
:They don't have any, just like the island scan Pokemon. [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 03:23, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
::Sun and Moon do not have a National Pokedex, and the [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number|regional 'dex]] does not include those Pokemon. So they don't have new entries. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 03:24, 24 December 2016 (UTC)

== Another possibility for the 1990 ミュー trademark ==
Didn't see this mentioned anywhere on this discussion page yet, so I figured I'd bring it up. On the topic of the name trademarks... do we know ''for sure'' if the trademark submitted in 1990 even has anything to do with Pokémon? Like... was the "ミュー" trademark submitted along with other early Pokémon names like the ones seen in some of the early art/beta screenshots, things related to the older "Capsule Monsters" title, or something along those lines?
I ask because there's another Nintendo creature that the "ミュー" trademark could've been for -- there was an enemy named "Myu" in Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link, which released in 1987 in Japan and 1988 in the US. That enemy's name is written as "ミュー" in Japanese according to the Zelda wiki ([https://zeldawiki.org/The_Adventure_of_Link_Translations/Enemies]), just like the 1990 trademark. [[User:FnrrfYgmSchnish|FnrrfYgmSchnish]] ([[User talk:FnrrfYgmSchnish|talk]]) 09:11, 31 December 2016 (UTC)

== Including Mew Game Location for Let's Go Eevee And Pikachu ==

The Pokeball plus comes with Mew on purchase according to the website and I think that's good evidence for the Pokeball plus to be apart of the Game Locations under Lets Go Pikachu And Eevee.

'''Mew''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミュウ''' ''Mew'') is a {{type|Psychic}} [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

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

Mew is notable for its unique ability to learn every [[TM|Technical Machine]], [[HM|Hidden Machine]], and [[Move Tutor]] move (except those exclusive to a particular Pokémon or group of Pokémon, such as {{m|Draco Meteor}} and {{m|Secret Sword}}).

Mew is the last Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto Pokédex]].

It is a member of the [[Mew duo]] along with {{p|Mewtwo}}.

==Biology==
Mew is a pink, bipedal Pokémon with mammalian features. Its snout is short and wide, and it has triangular ears and large, blue eyes. It has short arms with three-fingered paws, large hind legs and feet with oval markings on the soles, and a long, thin tail ending in an ovoid tip. Its fur is so fine and thin, it can only be seen under a microscope. Mew is said to have the {{wp|DNA}} of every single Pokémon contained within its body, and as such is able to learn any attack.

As demonstrated by its behavior in the [[M01|first]] and [[M08|eighth]] Pokémon movies, it shows signs of intelligence, curiosity, playfulness, and even selflessness. Mew is incredibly adaptable, able to travel freely in the air or underwater. As seen in [[Pokémon Snap]], it can create a green/yellow/pink orb of energy around itself for protection.

[[Pokémon Mansion journals|Reports]] found in [[Cinnabar Island]]'s {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} note scientific expeditions that have sighted Mew in [[Guyana]], South America, the place where it was first discovered. Since Mew can make itself invisible at will, very few people have {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon|knowingly seen it}}, leading some scientists to declare it extinct and most to assume it to be a mirage. It will only show itself to a person who is pure of heart.

Mew is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the exclusive [[Z-Move]] {{m|Genesis Supernova}}.

==In the anime==
{{spoilers}}
===In the main series===
[[File:Mew M01.png|thumb|250px|left|Mew in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'']]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Mew (M01)]]=====
Mew debuted in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''. A {{OBP|Mewtwo|original series}} was cloned from Mew's DNA, extracted from Mew's eyelash. Later, Mew started appearing around [[New Island]] while Mewtwo was testing his [[starter Pokémon]] clones. Mew followed [[Team Rocket]] into the main part of the island so it could stop Mewtwo from destroying the world. After the end credits, Mew is shown flying to the mountains.

In the Japanese version, Mew's characterization was different. Mew's intention was to wipe out cloned Pokémon, Mewtwo included, because it viewed them as inferior, in contrast to Mewtwo, who wished to eliminate natural-born.

Mew also appeared in the radio drama ''[[The Birth of Mewtwo]]'', which was adapted into the anime short ''[[The Uncut Story of Mewtwo's Origin]]''.

Mew made a small appearance in the hour-length special ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', the sequel to ''Mewtwo Strikes Back''. Mew is first shown in flashbacks of the first movie and then named by Mewtwo when it reflects about its creation before the title screen appears (though this dialogue was changed in the dub and Mew is not named). Mewtwo also sees Mew after being thrown into the Purity Spring, but this Mew is just part of Mewtwo's imagination.
[[File:Mew M08.png|thumb|250px|Mew in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'']]

=====[[Mew (M08)]]=====
Another Mew first appeared transformed as a {{p|Ho-Oh}}, and then as a {{p|Taillow}}, landing on [[Cameran Palace]] and then {{m|transform}}ing into {{p|Treecko}}. It then transformed into an {{p|Aipom}} to play with [[Ash's Pikachu]]. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} released their Pokémon to play with what they thought was an Aipom.

Mew led the team's Pokémon to an attic full of toys, and while playing with them, it transformed into a {{p|Pikachu}}, then back into its original form. [[Kidd Summers]], who had been spying, sent her two {{p|Weavile}} after it. To escape, it {{m|teleport}}ed itself, along with Pikachu and {{MTR}}. It then transformed once again into a {{p|Pidgeot}} and flew the Pokémon to the [[Tree of Beginning]]. While Ash and the others were looking for Pikachu, Mew kept it entertained with toys.

Mew also nearly sacrificed itself to save the Tree of Beginning. {{OBP|Lucario|M08}} stepped in and was able to save Mew, but ended up sacrificing itself. Mew is believed to still reside at the Tree of Beginning. It is last seen playing with a {{p|Bonsly}}.

=====Other=====
A Mew appeared in [[PK14]].

A Mirage Mew appeared in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'', where it helped interfere with the plans of [[Dr. Yung|Mirage Master]].

====Minor appearances====
[[File:Mew anime.png|thumb|250px|left|Mew in the main series]]
A Mew appeared in the opening sequence of ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''.

A Mew made a brief cameo in the opening sequence of ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', where it was seen being attacked by {{OBP|Mewtwo|original series|Mewtwo}}.

Mew made its main series debut in the [[boss fantasy]] of ''[[DP092|A Lean Mean Team Rocket Machine!]]''. As of this episode, every {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} has appeared in at least one episode of the anime.

An image of Mew appeared on a computer screen used by [[Mewtwo's creators]] in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.

A Mew made a cameo appearance in the ending credits in ''[[PK24|Meloetta's Moonlight Serenade]]''.

A Mew made its physical main series debut in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'', where it was seen flying around near [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]]. This is the latest main series physical debut of any of the original 151 Pokémon.

[[File:Mew PO.png|thumb|250px|Mew in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]

===In Pokémon Origins===
A Mew briefly appeared at the end of ''[[PO04|File 4: Charizard]]'', being the only {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} that {{OBP|Red|Origins}} had not caught by the end of the mini-series.
{{-}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Mew Adventures.png|thumb|220px|Mew in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the movie adaptations===
{{main|Mew (M01)}}
{{main|Mew (M08)}}
Two different Mew appear in the {{ma|Mewtwo Strikes Back!|manga}} {{ma|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew|adaptations}} of the [[M01|first]] and [[M08|eighth]] [[Pokémon movie]]s.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Mew (Adventures)}}
Mew debuted in the first round of the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}, ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]''.

In ''[[PS017|The Jynx Jinx]]'', {{adv|Green}}'s [[Ditty]] {{m|transform}}ed into Mew as an example to Red. It later used this form to lure the Team Rocket Grunts away.

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
A Mew appeared in ''[[PM004|Obtain the Moon Stone!!]]''. This one is actually a woman who was accidentally transformed after an experiment went wrong. She turns back later to her normal form.

{{OBP|Giovanni|Pocket Monsters}} catches Mew as part of the supplies used for the creation of {{p|Mewtwo}}. It was released along with Mewtwo after the creation was unsuccessful.

===In the Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire manga===
{{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} befriended a Mew in ''[[PMRS50|Showdown! Clefairy VS Mew!!]]''.

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

==Other appearances==
[[File:SSBB Mew.png|right|thumb|200px|Mew in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===Super Smash Bros. series===
In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', Mew will sometimes appear out of a [[Poké Ball]]. When summoned, it will use {{m|Fly}} to leave the arena. In single player, the summoner is awarded the "Mew Catcher" bonus, worth 10,000 points.

After unlocking every character in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]], there is a 1 in 251 chance of Mew appearing from a Poké Ball. The thrower of the Poké Ball receives the same "Mew Catcher" bonus.

Mew returns again as a rare Pokémon in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]], the chance of it appearing is 1 in 493 this time. Like the other "secret" Pokémon, it drops rare items instead of just flying away. In Mew's case, the items are CDs. However, once all the pick-up CDs are obtained, it will drop Stickers instead.

Mew returns in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]'' and comes out of a Poké Ball (rarely) and/or Master Ball (rare, but less rare than a Poké Ball).

Mew will return in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.

Throughout the ''Smash'' series, Mew, much like Mewtwo, is roughly akin to its portrayal in [[M01|the first movie]], especially having Kōichi Yamadera reprise his role.

====Melee trophy information====
''Mew is an extremely rare Pokémon that has been seen by only a few people. Information on every Pokémon in the world is contained in Mew's cell structure, so it has the ability to use any and all TMs and HMs. Some Pokémon scholars believe Mew to be the ancestor of all existing Pokémon, but the idea is debatable.''

====Brawl trophy information====
''"A New Species Pokémon. An extremely rare Pokémon that contains the DNA of all other Pokémon, it is thought by many scholars to be a Pokémon ancestor, considering the wide range of moves it can use. On top of being able to make itself invisible, Mew can also {{m|transform}} into any opponent Pokémon and use characteristics and moves in exactly the same way."''

====3DS/Wii U trophy information====
'''NA''': ''Mew is a Pokémon previously thought to be extinct but rediscovered by [[Mr. Fuji|Dr. Fuji]]. This Legendary Pokémon doesn't often show itself to humans, so it is considered quite lucky to see one. In Smash Bros., Mew will appear and then use Fly to sail away, leaving behind a gift. Thanks, Mew! ''

'''PAL''': ''Mew was thought to be extinct until it was rediscovered by Dr. Fuji in Guyana. This Mythical Pokémon doesn't often show itself to humans, so it's considered very lucky to see one. In this game, it will float upwards and leave a present behind. If only Mew would turn up more often, eh?''

==={{g|Snap}}===
Mew appears in the seventh course, [[Rainbow Cloud]]. Although the game is not combat-oriented, the difficulty of photographing Mew effectively makes it the game's boss. Mew floats in a bubble that turns opaque when the zoom is activated, so players must throw a series of Pester Balls or Food at it to break the bubble so Mew will come out for a clear shot. Photographing Mew gets an automatic bonus of 2500 points, making it the highest ranking Pokémon in the game with a highest possible score of 10,000 points with perfect positioning, size and pose.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}: Mew is the guardian of the [[Seven Treasures|Grass Cornet]].
* In [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]] Mew takes Pikachu and their friends {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Piplup}}, and {{p|Charmander}} to the {{ga|PokéPark}}. He then appears to Pikachu in a dream once they've arrived in the PokéPark and tells Pikachu to collect pieces of the [[Sky Prism]] so that peace can be restored to the PokéPark. Once all the pieces have been obtained Mew awaits Pikachu at the [[Sky Pavilion]] where he plays. In this game, Mew is referred to as male, despite being genderless in the main series.

==Trivia==
* Despite being a clone of Mew, {{p|Mewtwo}} appears before Mew in the Pokédex.
* Mew was the only Pokémon of the first 151 to be left out of the original version of the [[Kanto Pokérap|Pokérap]].
* In Generation I and II, due to technical limitations, ''New Species'' is labeled in game as ''NEW SPECIE'' (and in early versions, labeled as ''NEWSPECIES'').
* Mew was a little-known secret when {{game|Red and Green|s}} were first released in Japan. Even Nintendo was not initially aware that [[Shigeki Morimoto]] had programmed it into the game.<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.uk/NOE/en_GB/news/iwata/iwata_asks_-_pokmon_heartgold_version__soulsilver_version_16288_16289.html</ref>
** In an interview with [[Game Freak]] and [[Creatures, Inc.]] in [[Nintendo Power]] issue 134, [[Shigeki Morimoto]] revealed that he created Mew two weeks before game development was finished.
* In the games, lost scientific reports state that Mew was found in the forests of [[Guyana]].
* In [[Generation III]], Mew is the only Generation I Pokémon that cannot be encountered in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, as well as the only Generation I Legendary or Mythical Pokémon that can be encountered in {{v2|Emerald}}.
* Mew is tied with Mewtwo for the most anime opening appearances of any Legendary or Mythical Pokémon, with seven in Japan.
* Mew is the only genderless Pokémon able to learn {{m|Captivate}}; however, when used by genderless Pokémon, this move will always fail.
* In [[Super Smash Bros.]] it has a chance of 1 out of 151 to appear, in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]], its chance to appear is 1 out of 251, and in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], its chance to appear is 1 out of 493. This is a reference to how many Pokémon were out during the release of each game (151 in [[Generation I]], 251 in [[Generation II]], and 493 in [[Generation IV]]).
[[File:Wildmew.png|thumb|right|A wild Mew found using the [[Mew glitch]]]]
* Mew shares the move {{m|Transform}} with {{p|Ditto}}, along with also sharing the same {{Shiny}} coloration and the same weight. In addition, in {{game|Yellow}}, Ditto can be encountered in the Pokémon Mansion on Cinnabar Island, where [[Pokémon Mansion journals|diary entries]] on Mew can be found.
* The US release of Mew as an event for {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} happened on the ten-year anniversary of the original release of {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}.
* Mew was voted the most popular Pokémon in the {{n|Official Pokémon website announces Pokémon Power Bracket|Pokémon Power Bracket}}, which included all Legendary and Mythical Pokémon from the first four generations.
* Mew started the trend of every generation (through [[Generation V]]) introducing a Mythical Pokémon with a base stat total of 600 and a stat distribution of 100 all around. Others that follow this trend include {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Land Forme}} {{p|Shaymin}}, and {{p|Victini}}.
* The only way to legitimately obtain a {{Shiny}} Mew is via the [[Old Sea Map]] on a Japanese copy of {{game|Emerald}}.
* Mew is one of two Pokémon to have the shortest English Pokémon name, {{p|Muk}} being the other.
* Mew is the only Generation I Pokémon that [[experience|grows medium slowly]] and has no three-stage [[evolution]] family.

===Trademark===
* Mew (then spelled ミュー, not ミュウ) was the first Pokémon trademark ever registered (granted on March 31, 1994, registration number 2636685 part 12), before even Pocket Monsters (ポケットモンスター), which was granted on December 26, 1997.
** ミュウ was registered on August 6, 1999, registration number 4302090.
* Mew is also the first Pokémon trademark ever applied for; the application was submitted on May 9, 1990, application number 平2-51989; before even Pocket Monsters, which was submitted September 11, 1995.
** ミュウ was submitted on June 17, 1997, application number 平9-128909.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Mew}}
Mew is similar to a vertebrate {{wp|embryo}}. It shares many traits with {{wp|cats}}. Its morphology is also vaguely similar to a {{wp|jerboa}}, having large hind legs and a long skinny tail. It is believed by scientists to be the ancestor of all other Pokémon, which, along with its resemblance to an embryo, may be a reference to the {{wp|recapitulation theory}}.

====Name origin====
Mew may be derived from 妙 ''myō'' (strange/unusual), ''mew'' (the sound a kitten makes, referring to its size and cat-like appearance), or ''{{wp|mutant}}'' (myūtanto), or it may be a combination of ''mystery'' and ''new'' (considering that it is mysterious and "newly" discovered).

== Spoiler Warning ==

We DEFINITELY need a spoiler warning before the Pokemon Special character summary. I don't know how to do it myself, but if I'd read that or even part of that before finishing the Ruby arc, I know I would have been really annoyed, so I think this is important.

'''Mt. Moon''' (Japanese: '''オツキミやま''' or '''おつきみやま''' ''Mt. Otsukimi'') is a mountain located in northern [[Kanto]], between [[Pewter City]] in the west and [[Cerulean City]] in the east. It also provides access to [[Mt. Moon Square]] in Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}. Climbing does not seem to be possible; to get past it, travelers always need to travel through the caves.

Mt. Moon is known for being one of the few places where {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Clefairy}} can be found and for its frequent meteor falls. The shards of meteorites that fall here become [[Moon Stone]]s, which is why its name is ''Mt. Moon''. The mountain is also known for being home to Pokémon [[Fossil]]s. [[Brock]] digs for Fossils here in his spare time.

==Geography==
===Generation I===
In the [[Generation I]] games, Mt. Moon's interior is a large cave spanning three floors. Being the first cave that the {{player}} will come across with, Mt. Moon has a very long and complex structure. The first floor contains several ordinary {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, while the basement floor contains {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt|members of Team Rocket}} who are trying to steal [[Fossil]]s from Mt. Moon to market them for money. On the player's way out to [[Cerulean City]], the player will find two Fossils, the [[Dome and Helix Fossils|Dome Fossil]] and the [[Dome and Helix Fossils|Helix Fossil]] that a {{tc|Super Nerd}} claims to have found first. After being defeated in {{pkmn|battle}}, the Super Nerd lets the player choose one of the Fossils while he will take the other one. In {{game|Yellow}}, after the player obtains one of the Fossils, [[Jessie]] and [[James]] will appear for the first time and battle the player. However, they are not referred to as such in-game, sharing their [[Trainer class]] with that of ordinary [[Team Rocket]] Grunts, which are called '''Rocket''' (Japanese: '''ロケットだんいん''' ''Team Rocket Member'') in this [[generation]].

Players will first encounter {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Clefairy}} here at Mt. Moon.

===Generation II===
In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, Mt. Moon has dramatically decreased in size from [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]], and {{v2|Yellow}}. It now has only one base floor with a couple of connectors. It is also a spot where the {{player}}'s {{ga|Silver|rival}} is training near the entrance and he will {{pkmn|battle}} the player for the sixth time during the game.

When entering through the [[Pewter City]] entrance, there are two possible paths: one in the eastern direction and another one in the southern direction. By traveling south and then east, the [[Cerulean City]] entrance can be found. However, by traveling east from the Pewter City entrance, the player will end up at the northern side of Mt. Moon, where [[Mt. Moon Square]], its summit, is located. By traveling south in Mt. Moon Square, and entering the southern cavern, there will be a [[ledge]] which can be jumped to instantly access the Cerulean City entrance.

Mt. Moon Square is an area in the heights of Mt. Moon. On {{DL|Days of the week|Monday}} [[Time|nights]], two {{p|Clefairy}} will dance and pray to a large [[Moon Stone]] in the square. By interrupting the dance and breaking the stone using {{m|Rock Smash}}, {{pkmn|Trainer}}s can always find a Moon Stone below the rock. There is also a small shop here that sells a variety of goods.

===Generation III===
Mt. Moon's incarnation in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} is very similar to the original from the [[Generation I]] games. The only major change done for the remakes is the items found within the cave. Another addition is a man who is excavating for [[Fossil]]s in the north-eastern corner of the first floor. He is a friend of [[Brock]] and is a source of one of Brock's [[Fame Checker]] entries.

===Generation IV===
====Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum====
Although it does not appear in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, a guest at [[Hotel Grand Lake]] by [[Lake Valor]] mentions {{p|Clefairy}} dancing under the moon at Mt. Moon.

====HeartGold and SoulSilver====
Mt. Moon's incarnation in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} is essentially intact from the [[Generation II]] games, but with updated graphics enhancing the scenery and depicting its mountainous nature more accurately. The only significant changes are in [[Mt. Moon Square]], where four {{p|Clefairy}} will appear instead of the only two that appear in the Generation II games, and the background music being changed to つながりのどうくつ [[Pokémon HeartGold & Pokémon SoulSilver: Super Music Collection|''Union Cave'']], a [[Johto]] theme, from イワヤマトンネル [[Pokémon HeartGold & Pokémon SoulSilver: Super Music Collection|''Rock Tunnel'']], a [[Kanto]] theme, which is the background music that plays here in the Generation II games (the latter being itself a remix of おつきみ{{tt|山|やま}}のどうくつ [[Game Boy: Entire Pokémon Sounds Collection CD|''Mt. Moon's Cave'']] from the [[Generation I]] games).

==In the side games==
===In Pokémon Pinball===
[[File:Pinball Blue Mt. Moon.png|thumb]]
Mt. Moon appears on the Blue Field as Area 1. Catchable Pokémon include {{p|Rattata}}, {{p|Ekans}}, {{p|Clefairy}}, {{p|Zubat}}, {{p|Paras}}, and {{p|Geodude}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Mt Moon anime.png|thumb|250px|Mt. Moon in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===In the main series===
Mt. Moon is depicted as being apparently bigger in the anime than it is in the {{pkmn|games}}. It can be clearly seen from as far away as [[Pallet Town]].

{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} have visited Mt. Moon twice. Once was in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]'', when Ash, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} helped [[Seymour]] protect the {{p|Clefairy}} from {{TRT}} and watched many of them evolve into {{p|Clefable}} due to exposure to falling [[Moon Stone]]s. Also, it was here in this episode that Brock captured a {{TP|Brock|Zubat}}.

Later, Mt. Moon was also mentioned in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'', when Brock pulled out a bottle of Mt. Moon spring water from his [[Bag]].

In ''[[AG134|A Real Cleffa-Hanger]]'', the three returned to Mt. Moon with {{an|May}} and [[Max]], encountering the Clefairy and {{p|Clefable}} again, and helping the [[Pokémon category|Fairy]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} reunite with a young {{p|Cleffa}}.

In addition to the Clefairy family and {{p|Zubat}}, {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Paras}} and {{p|Sandshrew}} also reside here.

===In Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Super Nerd PO.png|thumb|left|250px|Mt. Moon in Pokémon Origins]]
Mt. Moon was briefly seen in ''[[PO02|File 2: Cubone]]'', as {{OBP|Red|Origins}} recalled battling a [[Fossil]]-crazy {{tc|Super Nerd}} there.
{{-}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Mt Moon Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Mt. Moon in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
[[File:Mt Moon EToP.png|thumb|left|200px|Mt. Moon in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Mt. Moon is first visited in ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]''; however, it is first mentioned in the previous round, ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'' by {{adv|Professor Oak}}. The mountain consists of several interconnected caves, which are the home of {{pkmn2|wild}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} like {{p|Zubat}}, {{p|Diglett}} and {{p|Geodude}}. Its importance resides in being the place where the [[Moon Stone]] can be found. For this reason, {{adv|Red}} and [[Misty]] enter Mt. Moon. Here is where the first confrontation between Red and {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s takes place. [[Pika]] battled [[Koga]]'s {{p|Rhyhorn}}, but Koga injected Rhyhorn with a syringe which made it [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Rhydon}}. Pika hit a rock from the ceiling which sealed [[Team Rocket]] in. Mt. Moon is also where Red battles [[Bruno]] in the beginning of the {{chap|Yellow}}.

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
Mt. Moon appears in the third chapter of [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], ''[[ET03|Clefairy Tale]]'', where {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}} tries to catch a {{p|Clefairy}} in the Mt. Moon area. After three agonizing weeks in the wilderness, Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} accidentally follow a Clefairy into an occupied {{p|Onix}} nest. Ash and Pikachu are driven into the maze of tunnels the Onix has created. After rejecting using {{AP|Fearow}}, {{p|Beedrill}}, or Pikachu, Ash decides to use his {{AP|Butterfree}}. Butterfree uses {{m|Psychic}}, which weakens Onix, but also {{DL|Status condition|Volatile status|confuses}} it — causing it to thrash around and cause a cave-in that buries Pikachu and Ash under a pile of rocks. After escaping, he meets {{an|Professor Oak}} and [[Bill]], who have been studying a group of Clefairy living in the Mt. Moon area.

==In the TCG==
[[File:TCG Mount Moon.png|thumb|Mt. Moon as depicted in the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game|TCG}}]]

In addition to its presence as a card, Mt. Moon has been featured in Area 3 of {{TCG|Extended Sheet 1}} of the {{TCG|Vending Machine cards}}. The Pokémon shown in this area are {{TCG ID|Vending|Geodude|S1}}, {{TCG ID|Vending|Paras|S1}}, {{TCG ID|Vending|Clefairy|S1}}, and {{TCG ID|Vending|Zubat|S1}}.

'''Viridian Forest''' (Japanese: '''トキワのもり''' ''Tokiwa Forest'') is a [[forest]] which lies between [[Viridian City]] and [[Pewter City]] in the middle of {{rt|2|Kanto}} with both the north and south entrances of Viridian Forest open to the route. The deep and sprawling forest is said to be a natural maze as many people get lost inside. The trees in the forest are so thick that little light gets in, and because of this the forest is full of {{t|Bug}}- and {{type|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that attract {{tc|Bug Catcher}}s and other Trainers.

In [[Generation II]], Viridian Forest no longer exists as a standalone area and has been replaced with a maze of standard trees, containing items and [[Berry]] trees, which is now a part of Route 2. The maze forms roughly the same design as before and the items are placed similarly to those located in Generations I and III. However, in the [[Generation IV]] remakes, the forest is re-expanded into the state of an actual dungeon, with five Trainers added, and with Pokémon similar to those of Pokémon Yellow.

==Geography==
[[File:FL Viridian Forest.png|thumb|200px|right|[[Location preview|Preview]] of Viridian Forest in FireRed and LeafGreen]]
Viridian Forest is a deep and sprawling woodland expanding across {{rt|2|Kanto}} reaching to [[Pewter City]] in the north and to [[Viridian City]] in the south, giving the forest its name. The trees in this area have grown so dense that light has trouble getting through, and because of this the forest seems dark and gloomy. The path across to each terminus winds its way around the dense layers of trees, creating a giant labyrinth many liken to a natural maze, as many people get lost inside. The entrance to the forest seems to be light and airy: the trees are not as thick and sunlight is able to get in fine. The trees stand tall and the grass appears to be long and unmaintained, while trees in the distance appear to be shadowed.

Because of its dark and shady environment, Viridian Forest hosts a large array of different {{type|Bug}} Pokémon. They are not particularly powerful, but they will cause [[status condition]]s such as paralysis and poison. It is advised from sign posts and even from other Trainers that Trainers should buy status condition healing items such as [[Antidote]] and [[Paralyze Heal|Parlyz Heal]] before entering the forest. Pokémon such as {{p|Caterpie}}, {{p|Weedle}}, {{p|Metapod}}, and {{p|Kakuna}} inhabit trees and [[tall grass]], allowing themselves to stay hidden from predators. Viridian Forest is also one of the locations where Trainers can seek wild {{p|Pikachu}} as well as under-leveled {{p|Pidgeotto}}, making the forest a very exclusive place to find Pokémon. {{tc|Bug Catcher}}s, that own common {{type|Bug}} Pokémon such as {{p|Caterpie}} and {{p|Weedle}}, come here in groups from Viridian and Pewter to battle and train.

===In Pokémon Channel===
{{main|Viridian Forest (Channel)}}

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
[[File:Viridian Forest anime.png|thumb|250px|Viridian Forest in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Viridian Forest has appeared in multiple episodes of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first shown at the end of ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]''. While traveling through the forest, {{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}} encountered a {{p|Caterpie}}, and Ash decided to throw a [[Poké Ball]] at it to try and capture it.

The forest was seen again in ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]'', where Ash caught his first two {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}: {{AP|Caterpie}} and {{AP|Pidgeotto}}. Ash effortlessly caught the Caterpie by tossing a Poké Ball at it, and {{p|Pidgeotto}} was caught the following day after a brief battle with {{AP|Pikachu}}. At the end of the episode, after defeating {{TRT}} in a battle, Caterpie evolved into {{p|Metapod}}.

The forest was also the setting of the [[EP004|following episode]]. While traveling through the forest, Ash spotted a {{p|Weedle}} and decided to catch it. He used Pidgeotto against it, but another Trainer named [[Samurai]] arrived on scene and challenged Ash to a {{pkmn|battle}}. Meanwhile, the Weedle escaped and Samurai rebuked Ash for it. The two then engaged themselves in a Pokémon battle, which got stuck for hours as their Metapod were unable to do anything but use {{m|Harden}}. All of sudden, a swarm of {{p|Beedrill}} arrived and carried Ash's Metapod away. Samurai took Ash, Misty, and their other Pokémon to a safe place, but not before running into group of {{p|Kakuna}} which promptly evolved and attacked them. The next day, Ash went and saved his Metapod from under the very same tree, having noticed him there the day before. Due Team Rocket's loud entrance, the Beedrill woke up and started chasing Ash. He apologized to Metapod for leaving him in trouble like that, after which he saved his Trainer from a Beedrill's {{m|Twineedle}} attack. Afterwards, he quickly evolved into a {{AP|Butterfree}} and saved Ash, Misty, and the samurai by putting the Beedrill asleep with {{m|Sleep Powder}}. At the end of the episode, Ash and Misty left Viridian Forest.

Later in the series, Ash released his newly evolved {{AP|Pidgeot}} near Viridian Forest in ''[[EP081|Pallet Party Panic]]''. As the group went through Viridian Forest, Ash and his friends were attacked by a flock of {{p|Spearow}}. The flock's leader was a {{AP|Fearow}}, which apparently [[Evolution|evolved]] from the Spearow that Ash hit with a rock on [[EP001|the first day of his journey]]. Ash climbed a tree to escape and found Team Rocket with a flock of {{p|Pidgey}} and {{p|Pidgeotto}} who were in a turf war with the flock of Spearow. After sending Team Rocket falling from tree as a bait for the Spearow, Ash sent out his own Pidgeotto to tell the other bird Pokémon that it was safe to leave. The Fearow then came back, however, and started attacking bird Pokémon. Ash's Pidgeotto tried to fight the Fearow, but was badly hurt. Instead of giving up, however, it then evolved into a {{AP|Pidgeot}}. Pidgeot and Pikachu then teamed up to defeat the Fearow and its minions. Ash also tried to catch the Fearow but failed, forcing them just to chase it away. Ash decided to {{pkmn2|released|leave}} Pidgeot in the forest to look after the Pidgey and Pidgeotto.

===In Pokémon Generations===
Viridian Forest made an appearance in ''[[PG01|The Adventure]]'', where {{ga|Red}} was seen encountering a {{p|Pikachu}}. After sending out his {{p|Bulbasaur}}, he caught {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} with a single {{ball|Poké}}. Afterwards, Red used Pikachu to battle a wild {{p|Caterpie}} as {{p|Zapdos}} flew by.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Many important people were born in or near the forest, including [[Lance]], {{adv|Giovanni}}, and {{adv|Yellow}}. It is said that once every ten years, a child is born possessing the mysterious powers of the forest. Lance and Yellow both share the power to heal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} using physical touch as well as the ability to read the minds of Pokémon. In addition, Yellow can also move inanimate objects, namely [[Poké Ball]]s, as well as raise her Pokémon's [[level]]s using the power of Viridian Forest (although this power seems involuntary and temporary). Giovanni has yet to display any special powers.

The forest is first visited in ''[[PS003|The Secret of Kangaskhan]]'' in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}} by {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}}. In their search for Pokémon, they encounter a wild {{p|Kangaskhan}} and its baby. Upon Red's return to Viridian City via the forest, he saves a young Yellow from being attacked by a wild {{p|Dratini}}.

In the {{chap|Yellow}}, the forest was the first place Yellow visited after she had assumed guardianship of [[Pika]]. She met {{adv|Bill}} inside the forest, and not long after, both were attacked by [[Lorelei]]. However, {{adv|Green}} helped them escape. Much later, Green also revealed that she was the one who set Yellow off on her journey after meeting her at Viridian Forest, recognizing her as not only having met Red who had disappeared, but also as the one that fit the criteria given to her by {{adv|Silver}}. After teaching her the basics of battling, Green gave a straw hat to Yellow, telling her to disguise herself as a boy and not to reveal her name.

==Trivia==
* In {{v2|Yellow}} and {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Pidgeotto}} can be found in the forest, most likely to represent [[Ash's Pidgeotto|the events of the anime]]. However, they are [[level]] 9 and 7, respectively; normally {{p|Pidgey}} evolves at level 18.
* Despite the forest returning as a standalone area in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the background music is a remix of ''[[Pokémon HeartGold & Pokémon SoulSilver: Super Music Collection#Disc 3|Viridian Forest]]'' (Japanese: {{tt|トキワのもり|Tokiwa no Mori}}) from [[Generation II]], used on {{rt|2|Kanto}}, with Route 2 in HeartGold and SoulSilver given ''[[Pokémon HeartGold & Pokémon SoulSilver: Super Music Collection|Route 3]]'' (Japanese: {{tt|３ばんどうろ|sanban dōro}}) as the background music, which is also used for most other [[route]]s in [[Kanto]] on both Generation II and HeartGold and SoulSilver. Incidentally, Generation II's version of ''Viridian Forest'', used on Route 2, was in itself a remix of ''[[Game Boy: Entire Pokémon Sounds Collection CD|Viridian Forest]]'' (Japanese: {{tt|トキワの森|Tokiwa no Mori}}) from [[Generation I]].
* The internal layout of [[Santalune Forest]] in [[Pokémon X and Y]] is nearly identical to that of Viridian Forest.
** In addition, every Pokémon found in Viridian Forest in {{game|Red and Green|s}} and the international version of {{game|Red and Blue|s}} can also be found in Santalune Forest.
