The '''Rainbow Wing''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|虹色の羽根|にじいろのはね}}''' ''Rainbow Feather'') is a [[Key Item]] introduced in [[Generation II]]. It is a [[legendary artifact]] that is associated with {{p|Ho-Oh}}.

==In the core series games==
In Pokémon Gold and Pokémon HeartGold, after defeating [[Team Rocket]] and liberating the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]], the [[Radio Director]] gives the player a Rainbow Wing. In Pokémon HeartGold only, they will also need a [[Clear Bell]], received from the [[Kimono Girls]] after defeating them.

In Pokémon Silver and Pokémon SoulSilver, an old man in [[Pewter City]] near the {{rt|3|Kanto}} entrance will give the player a Rainbow Wing.

In {{game|Crystal}}, after catching all [[Legendary beasts]] and entering the [[Hall of Fame]], the Wise Trio {{tc|Sage}}s at [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]] will give the player a Rainbow Wing. The player must have the beasts present on their [[party]] or [[Pokémon Storage System]] with the same [[Original Trainer]] and [[Trainer ID number]] as them in order to obtain the Rainbow Wing.

===Effect===
With the Rainbow Wing, the player can encounter {{p|Ho-Oh}} at the top of [[Bell Tower]] (known as Tin Tower in [[Generation II]]).

===Description===

==In the spin-off games==
[[File:Legendary wings.png|thumb|L-R: Clear, Red, Sunset, and Rainbow Wings]]
===In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], after completing the storyline and exploring [[Solar Cave]], {{DL|List of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team characters|Spinda}} may appear in town. Spinda will give the player the '''Clear Wing''' (Japanese: '''とうめいのはね''' ''Clear Feather''), beginning [[The Mystery of the Mirage Pokémon]].

The player must then talk to {{OBP|Xatu|Red and Blue Rescue Team}} at the [[Great Canyon]], who will explain what the player must do next. After defeating {{p|Entei}} at [[Fiery Field]], Entei will turn the Clear Wing into the '''Red Wing''' (Japanese: '''しんくのはね''' ''Crimson Feather''), and send the player to [[Lightning Field]].

After defeating {{p|Raikou}} there, Raikou will turn the Red Wing into the '''Sunset Wing''' (Japanese: '''ゆうひのはね''' ''Sunset Feather'') and send the player to [[Northwind Field]].

After defeating {{p|Suicune}} here, Suicune will turn the Sunset Wing into the '''Rainbow Wing''' (Japanese: '''なないろのはね''' ''Prismatic Feather'') and send the player off to [[Mt. Faraway]]. Here, due to the power of the Rainbow Wing, the player can encounter, battle, and [[Recruitment|recruit]] {{p|Ho-Oh}}.

None of these items show up in the [[Toolbox]].

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
[[File:Rainbow Wing M20.png|thumb|250px|A Rainbow Wing in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
A Rainbow Wing played a major role in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]''. Set in a timeline different from the main series, it was found by {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}} when he first saw {{an|Ho-Oh}}. During the {{pkmn|movie}}, Ash learned that Ho-Oh had given him the Rainbow Wing as a recognition of having chosen him to be the "Rainbow Hero", and decided to travel to [[Mount Tensei]] to meet and {{pkmn|battle}} Ho-Oh.

Eventually, [[Cross]], wanting to meet Ho-Oh himself, stole the Rainbow Wing from Ash and tried to use it to summon Ho-Oh. However, it instead became corrupted by his selfish desires, causing {{OBP|Marshadow|M20}} to send a group of [[wild Pokémon]] on a rampage. When Ash was killed by the rampaging Pokémon, the Rainbow Wing crumbled away. However, once Ash was revived, the Rainbow Wing was also reformed, allowing Ash to use it to summon and battle Ho-Oh.

Another Rainbow Wing appeared in ''[[JN009|Finding a Legend!]]'', under the ownership of an old man named [[Jaye]]. He used to search for Ho-Oh for many years after having caught a glimpse of it in the past. However, after years of failing to find it, he became convinced Ho-Oh didn't actually exist and threw his Rainbow Wing away. However, his grandson [[Chad]] took and preserved it, wanting to restore his grandfather's belief in Ho-Oh's existence. {{Ash}} and [[Goh]] later visited [[Ecruteak City]] and heard Jaye's story from Chad. Afterwards, they decided to accompany Jaye and Chad as they climbed the [[Bell Tower]] in the hopes of summoning Ho-Oh with the Rainbow Wing. At the top of the tower, the Rainbow Wing ended up glowing in response to a rainbow appearing in the sky. Just when the group was about to leave, Jaye saw Ho-Oh flying in the distance.

===In Pokémon Generations===
[[File:Rainbow Wing PG.png|thumb|250px|A Rainbow Wing in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
A Rainbow Wing made a brief appearance at the end of ''[[PG06|The Reawakening]]'', where it was seen falling to the ground behind [[Eusine]] at the [[Burned Tower]] after his brief encounter with {{p|Suicune}}.
{{-}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Rainbow Wing Silver Wing Adventures.png|thumb|160px|The Silver and Rainbow Wings in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{adv|Green}} stole a Rainbow Wing and a Silver Wing from the [[Masked Man]] when she and {{adv|Silver}} escaped from him. She later hid them on {{adv|Yellow}}'s straw hat. In the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}, the artifacts were used to free {{adv|Gold}} from the gap of time inside the [[Ilex Forest shrine]] where the Masked Man had trapped him in.

The Masked Man also used a Rainbow Wing and a Silver Wing directly collected from their respective Legendary Pokémon in order to create a [[GS Ball]]. Only a capture net created from these two feathers could contain {{adv|Celebi}} and allow its holder to travel through time without suffering its negative side effects.

===In the movie adaptations===
A Rainbow Wing appeared in [[ICYR1]].

Talk:Pokémon Journeys: The Series

2020-05-05T05:22:20Z

PkmnTrainerV: /* series and epicode name question */

==The series is more based on Pokémon Go and Pokémon Masters than SwSh==

Just thought you aught to put the mobile games in front of the Gen 8 core game series since the new series will be promoting all of the regions than SwSh. [[User:Cynthia149|Cynthia149]] ([[User talk:Cynthia149|talk]]) 11:23, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

:You're going to need an external source to back that up. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 11:26, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

::I can already think of one, the new character Go. The description of his goals to complete his Pokedex and capture Mew. The way they will travel to all the regions in the Pokémon world (And likely meet the Gym Leaders, strong trainers, E4s and Champions in each Region) instead of just going through and showcasing Galar like the previous series. Since Ash would represent the mainline games, Go seems to represent Go, so to attract the people that play the mobile games to watch the anime. [[User:Cynthia149|Cynthia149]] ([[User talk:Cynthia149|talk]]) 11:30, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

:::When I say "external source", I mean an interview from the production staff that explicitly confirms that. Having a character named Go could mean anything in the eyes of the writers. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 11:32, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

::::The Pokedexes also shout ''Nice'', ''Great'' and ''Excellent'' every time they catch something. Please don't tell me that's obviously Pokemon Go inspired. Though not completely, it is worth mentioning for the anime. [[User:Cynthia149|Cynthia149]] ([[User talk:Cynthia149|talk]]) 20:19, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

:::::But that's not an "external source", now is it? [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 20:28, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

::::::What 'external source'? These are some of the real reasons to why I hate you elitist fans so much, and it's not just with Pokemon, it's with all fandoms. I wish they never exist at all. It's because of you we have these disagreement and time-wasting pointless arguments. The proof is right in your face, and yet you don't want to believe it.[[User:Cynthia149|Cynthia149]] ([[User talk:Cynthia149|talk]]) 21:03, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

:::::::I just clarified what I meant by an "external source". Please read further up. Also, I do see the similarities, but they're very few in-between. For example, GO doesn't involve traveling to all the core series regions and doing with Ash and Go do. All I'm seeing are just aesthetics that have been carried over. The catchphrases of Pokédexes are very minute as references. I'm going to need an appearance from a GO-exclusive character to convince me and others; otherwise, an interview is going to be needed to verify this.

:::::::Lastly, you need to lay off with the attitude. It's not helping your argument any. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 21:13, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

::::::::It isn't much based on Sword and Shield either since it's mostly focused on the other regions as well as Galar, and yet all we've seen of Galar is Wyndon and the Wild Area (Which happens to be based on the two most popular Japanese tourist spots in the UK, London and the Lake District), that's it. The Gym Leaders in Galar would probably be the 8 strong trainers unless they're the Champions from each Region. To me, this doesn't feel like a traditional Pokemon anime any more. But then again, neither is Gen 8 since it is on a non-traditional console, as stated by Masuda himself in an interview. What is really Galar's role in this anime if it and it's Pokemon are not the main focus in the anime? I know Eternatus is going to be involved, but for what?[[User:Cynthia149|Cynthia149]] ([[User talk:Cynthia149|talk]]) 21:22, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

:::::::::Like I already said elsewhere, "'...[A]nd is based on the events of all of the core series Pokémon games, including the Generation VIII games Pokémon Sword and Shield.' I'm not saying this series is ''solely'' based on Sword and Shield." [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 21:25, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

::::::::::Then why even have a Generation 8 at all if that is not entirely the focus? That's what I would wish to ask the people that are making it. It just makes me frustrated that I can't. It makes me feel like they should have ended at Gen 7 and call it am day, and have Gou with an Eevee instead of a Scorbunny? [[User:Cynthia149|Cynthia149]] ([[User talk:Cynthia149|talk]]) 21:31, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

:::::::::::Because it's the newest generation, so there needs to be an emphasis on it. After all, one of the main Pokémon is a Galar starter Pokémon, so there's still some special influence of Generation VIII in this series. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 21:39, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

::::::::::::But why the other regions? Shouldn't they wait until Ash is done with Galar? It just makes Galar feel just like the game, empty, soulless, lacking. All it is is Ash competing in the Pokemon World Championships. I wouldn't mind if that actually appeared in the Expansion Pass, which would probably be the case with the logo of two mascots holding poke balls in the first trailer. [[User:Cynthia149|Cynthia149]] ([[User talk:Cynthia149|talk]]) 21:46, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

:::::::::::::I don't know. I can't tell you what exactly the writers and producers are thinking. I would've liked Galar to be the only focus too, but this is all we have for now. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 21:49, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

== Two-letter Abbreviation for this series ==

So, I'd like to have a discussion about what this site is gonna do about that. "NS" (for "New series"), "SS" (for "Shin series", but also works as "Sword & Shield"), or PM (for "Pocket Monsters") are ideas I've had. --[[User:TheMaskedMeowth|TheMaskedMeowth]] ([[User talk:TheMaskedMeowth|talk]]) 23:46, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
:"NS" sounds like the best option until we learn an official title for this series. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 00:04, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
::Given the episodes aren't going to air before we have a proper series title, there's no point in figuring out episcodes right now. Once there's a title, we'll work on them. If, by slim chance, the first episode does air prior to a proper title, any epicode we assign it will be temporary. If it never gets a proper title, we'll worry about that then. [[User:ArcToraphim|Kai]] * the [[User talk:ArcToraphim|Arc]] [[Special:Contributions/ArcToraphim|Toraph]] 01:30, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
:::It's not getting a "proper series title" besides just Pocket Monsters. They've said several times that they're removing the subtitle for this series.--[[User:TheMaskedMeowth|TheMaskedMeowth]] ([[User talk:TheMaskedMeowth|talk]]) 04:06, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
::::Opening up the discussion again, why is the abbreviation SS if it's not even entirely based on Sword & Shield? Is the "shin series" thing actually how they refer to it in Japan or is it just a way to justify the double meaning of SS? I just think SS is a bit counterintuitive. --[[User:Gabo 2oo|Gabo 2oo]] ([[User talk:Gabo 2oo|talk]]) 19:14, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
:::::I'll have to agree. Plus, it doesn't even seem like we'll be getting a new series after this, judging by the format of this series. If Generation IX ever does come rolling around, they'll just implement it somehow into this series, and so on and so forth. I think "NS" is the perfect episcode for this. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 01:20, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

==Page Title==

Why not name the series Pokémon (2019)? That's what most of the other forums are calling it.
It's been confirmed that this is the official name for the series as the anime's Twitter
page has repeated several times that this series would have the same name as the original series in 1997. {{unsigned|Alola adventurer}}

:We don't call the [[original series]] "Pokémon" even though that's the official title. We need some sort of title to fulfill the "series" quota, with or without the [[core series]] game titles. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 05:06, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

::There's really no "quota" apart from factual information. It’s pretty ridiculous to ignore official information just to maintain a pattern. If it is called Pocket Monsters (2019) or Pokémon Journeys: The series, then it should be called that. Plain and simple. "New series" is frankly, quite ridiculous and not factual. An encyclopaedia gives factual information, irrespective of it adhering to any "pattern" or "quota". [[User:PkmnTrainerV|The legendary PkmnTrainerV is Here!]] ([[User talk:PkmnTrainerV|talk]]) 10:46, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

== Koharu as a main character ==

Where was it confirmed that Koharu would be a main character? None of the sources I'm reading have ever clarified on that. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 03:12, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

== Rename the title of the series ==

A more appropriate title would be Pocket Monsters (2019). {{unsigned|Panky..}}

:We don't call the [[original series]] "Pocket Monsters" even though that's the official title. We need some sort of title to fulfill the "series" quota, with or without the [[core series]] game titles. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 22:27, 7 December 2019 (UTC)

::But I don't get why we should follow a "quora" specifically for this occasion, when there's several arbitrary decisions around it. Pocket Monsters have the "EP" epicode instead of "RG", while for some reason Bulbapedia tries to force the Sword and Shield initials for this series all the while this series in particular is not even entirely based on said games. The "shin series" thing seems like a made-up explanation to justify another meaning for "SS", as no one in Japan calls it like that in the first place. Even the title provided in the article, '''新無印編''' ''new unnamed saga'', is nowhere near as commonly used as '''ポケットモンスター (2019)''' ''Pocket Monsters (2019)''. "New series" doesn't even match the "SS" epicode either. The "new series" will stop being new at some point; in fact you could argue it's not new, it's the "current" one. Most people refer to this series as Pocket Monsters (2019), or PM, PM (2019), etc, for short. I agree that this should be renamed to "'''Pocket Monsters (2019)'''". If for some reason the first series being named "original series" is a problem, then we could rename that one to "Pocket Monsters (1997)" as well. --[[User:Gabo 2oo|Gabo 2oo]] ([[User talk:Gabo 2oo|talk]]) 16:41, 12 December 2019 (UTC)

:::Yes, there must be a quota, because it'd be weird if every other series has the same format for a title and then there's this: "Pokémon (2019)" or "Pocket Monsters (2019)". What do you suggest we rename the {{series2|Advanced Generation}}, {{series2|Diamond & Pearl}}, {{series2|Best Wishes}}, {{series2|XY}}, and {{series|Sun & Moon}} to? [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 01:50, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
::::I think that there should be consistency, yes, but with moderation. If an official name exist, '''we should use it'''. "'''Pocket Monster (2019)'''" seems to be the closest we can get at the moment. Also, yeah, New series will stop being new at some point, if already hasn't, so it's a silly name we shouldn't use for that matter. --[[User:Raltseye|Raltseye]] [[User talk:Raltseye|prata med mej]] 00:26, 14 December 2019 (UTC)

:::::::Because you want the original and new series to be renamed "Pokémon" and "Pokémon 2019" and the others are just going to be called ''Advanced Generation'' series, ''Diamond & Pearl'' series, and so on and so forth. It would look strange. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 01:11, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
::::::::I didn't say anything about the original series, but the current name for this series does not look right one bit. That was rather my point.

:::::::::Honestly, I'm way too used to the series format, so I disagree. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 01:44, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
{{indent}}Honestly, you being used to something is not an argument. We should always use what's either official or the least confusing.

:Are we strongly against numbering the series? We could leave all of the article titles the same except for this one ("New series" becomes "Seventh series), and if we need to keep the episode article titles consistent you could say, for example, EP001 would be 1S001, AG001 would be 2S001, XY001 would be 5S001, etc., leading to SS001 becoming 7S001.

:{{U|Force Fire}} just said renaming episode articles are a no-go. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 21:49, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
:: If we truly need consistency then I'm all down for renaming every series, such as "Pocket Monsters: Advanced Generation" instead of "Advanced Generation series". But my personal take is that under no circumstances this one should be titled "new series" and that takes priority. I'm also against using the "SS" epicode (we might as well use the "RS" epicode instead of "AG" by that logic), but I guess there's no possibility for that to change.

This also gives us a good epicode prefix of go this way we're not using Sword and Shield's innitials for epicodes.
As for the male character's name go, I don't think that will stick in the dub so calling it @Go series' wouldn't be naming it after this character, rather it would be naming it after the fact that Ash and the male companion go to all of the various regions. Follow my logic?

{{indent}}Regardless of if it's based on Pokemon Go or not, we know it is not based on Sword and Shield barring a few eps that take place in Galar. the reason why this series is different I'd argue is that all previous series were based on specific games, I.E. BW for Black & White, XY based on X & Y, ETC. This is an unorthodox series as it is based on not one but all core series games and features all core-series reagons and apparently acknowledges the Orange Islands in an episode with Ash's trophy appearing. So
We also don't know for sure if the character of Go is going to be called Go in English, because in English go is a verb, not a name, unless they're going to make it a sort of nickname. So while I strongly agree that it is not based jus ton SS and therefore SS is inappropriate and the Sin series excuse in my oppinion is watchogwash, (see wha tI did there) PJ makes sense, and I'm obviously not alone there.
So while I see the arguments on what to do about past series being valid, I do not believe it applies here as this is different than other series before it, therefore it should not be judged based on what was done for previous series.

== series and epicode name question ==

Hello
What exactly does SS stand fore since the series is not at all based on Sword and Shield save for a couple eps to date? And what's going to be new about it in let's say a year's time?

Why not call it the Pokemon World series and have the episodes renamed form ss001 to PM or PW001.
Pokemon World series comes from the fact that post Sun and Moon league win, Ash is exploring the Pokemon World.
I'm thinking if you were to rename this series to something related to the Pokemon world it would be a better reflection of what is going on rather than just "New" series, a term that is going to be out of date real fast.
As for epicodes, what is SS anyway, given that it has little to do with just Sword and Shield? If you do rename it, do it soon while there are only 9 or 10 eps, rather than waiting eons then complaining about renaming 144 episodes or something like that.

Why is the page title even called "New Series"? We already have an official title in the form of Pocket Monsters 2019, or alternatively Pokémon Journeys: The Series. The only argument on this page so far talks about some hypothetical "quota" to keep the pages consistent. But the truth is, the title isn’t actually consistent with the previous ones, and it’s a fact. Factual information shouldn’t be ignored just to satisfy so called "quotas" when Bulbapedia (quite stubbornly, at times) aims to include only official information.

However, the name that [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] suggested above, ''Journeys'' series, might make more sense for English-language articles. It also reflects the name used on the equivalent page in most of the non-Japanese wikis (e.g. the [https://www.wikidex.net/wiki/Serie_Viajes_Pok%C3%A9mon the Spanish language page]).

Why not name the series Pokémon (2019)? That's what most of the other forums are calling it.
It's been confirmed that this is the official name for the series as the anime's Twitter
page has repeated several times that this series would have the same name as the original series in 1997. {{unsigned|Alola adventurer}}

The "shin series" thing seems like a made-up explanation to justify another meaning for "SS", as no one in Japan calls it like that in the first place. Even the title provided in the article, '''新無印編''' ''new unnamed saga'', is nowhere near as commonly used as '''ポケットモンスター (2019)''' ''Pocket Monsters (2019)''.

As for the male character's name go, I don't think that will stick in the dub so calling it @Go series' wouldn't be naming it after this character, rather it would be naming it after the fact that Ash and the male companion go to all of the various regions. Follow my logic?

{{indent}}Regardless of if it's based on Pokemon Go or not, we know it is not based on Sword and Shield barring a few eps that take place in Galar. the reason why this series is different I'd argue is that all previous series were based on specific games, I.E. BW for Black & White, XY based on X & Y, ETC. This is an unorthodox series as it is based on not one but all core series games and features all core-series reagons and apparently acknowledges the Orange Islands in an episode with Ash's trophy appearing. So
We also don't know for sure if the character of Go is going to be called Go in English, because in English go is a verb, not a name, unless they're going to make it a sort of nickname. So while I strongly agree that it is not based jus ton SS and therefore SS is inappropriate and the Sin series excuse in my oppinion is watchogwash, (see wha tI did there) PJ makes sense, and I'm obviously not alone there.
So while I see the arguments on what to do about past series being valid, I do not believe it applies here as this is different than other series before it, therefore it should not be judged based on what was done for previous series.

== series and epicode name question ==

Hello
What exactly does SS stand fore since the series is not at all based on Sword and Shield save for a couple eps to date? And what's going to be new about it in let's say a year's time?

Why not call it the Pokemon World series and have the episodes renamed form ss001 to PM or PW001.
Pokemon World series comes from the fact that post Sun and Moon league win, Ash is exploring the Pokemon World.
I'm thinking if you were to rename this series to something related to the Pokemon world it would be a better reflection of what is going on rather than just "New" series, a term that is going to be out of date real fast.
As for epicodes, what is SS anyway, given that it has little to do with just Sword and Shield? If you do rename it, do it soon while there are only 9 or 10 eps, rather than waiting eons then complaining about renaming 144 episodes or something like that.

== The Page Title ==

Why is the page title even called "New Series"? We already have an official title in the form of Pocket Monsters 2019, or alternatively Pokémon Journeys: The Series. The only argument on this page so far talks about some hypothetical "quota" to keep the pages consistent. But the truth is, the title isn’t actually consistent with the previous ones, and it’s a fact. Factual information shouldn’t be ignored just to satisfy so called "quotas" when Bulbapedia (quite stubbornly, at times) aims to include only official information. Then why are they ditching official information to add a new, frankly ridiculous page title?

:The Bulbapedia names for previous series seem to be based on their Japanese name when the English name is different. That trend suggests that this series should be called the ''Pocket Monsters'' series. However, the name that [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] suggested above, ''Journeys'' series, might make more sense for English-language articles. It also reflects the name used on the equivalent page in most of the non-Japanese wikis (e.g. the [https://www.wikidex.net/wiki/Serie_Viajes_Pok%C3%A9mon the Spanish language page]).

The "shin series" thing seems like a made-up explanation to justify another meaning for "SS", as no one in Japan calls it like that in the first place. Even the title provided in the article, '''新無印編''' ''new unnamed saga'', is nowhere near as commonly used as '''ポケットモンスター (2019)''' ''Pocket Monsters (2019)''.

As for the male character's name go, I don't think that will stick in the dub so calling it @Go series' wouldn't be naming it after this character, rather it would be naming it after the fact that Ash and the male companion go to all of the various regions. Follow my logic?

{{indent}}Regardless of if it's based on Pokemon Go or not, we know it is not based on Sword and Shield barring a few eps that take place in Galar. the reason why this series is different I'd argue is that all previous series were based on specific games, I.E. BW for Black & White, XY based on X & Y, ETC. This is an unorthodox series as it is based on not one but all core series games and features all core-series reagons and apparently acknowledges the Orange Islands in an episode with Ash's trophy appearing. So
We also don't know for sure if the character of Go is going to be called Go in English, because in English go is a verb, not a name, unless they're going to make it a sort of nickname. So while I strongly agree that it is not based jus ton SS and therefore SS is inappropriate and the Sin series excuse in my oppinion is watchogwash, (see wha tI did there) PJ makes sense, and I'm obviously not alone there.
So while I see the arguments on what to do about past series being valid, I do not believe it applies here as this is different than other series before it, therefore it should not be judged based on what was done for previous series.

== series and epicode name question ==

Hello
What exactly does SS stand fore since the series is not at all based on Sword and Shield save for a couple eps to date? And what's going to be new about it in let's say a year's time?

Why not call it the Pokemon World series and have the episodes renamed form ss001 to PM or PW001.
Pokemon World series comes from the fact that post Sun and Moon league win, Ash is exploring the Pokemon World.
I'm thinking if you were to rename this series to something related to the Pokemon world it would be a better reflection of what is going on rather than just "New" series, a term that is going to be out of date real fast.
As for epicodes, what is SS anyway, given that it has little to do with just Sword and Shield? If you do rename it, do it soon while there are only 9 or 10 eps, rather than waiting eons then complaining about renaming 144 episodes or something like that.

I support this too and a new epicode of PJ instead of SS, and I say do it soon before we get too many episodes.

[[User:African Vulture|African Vulture]] ([[User talk:African Vulture|talk]]) 16:41, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

:PJ for Pokémon Journeys sounds good - but then if that happened, would we change the side stories epicode again? '''[[User:JoeRunner|JoeRunner]] ([[User talk:JoeRunner|talk]] [[Special:Contributions/JoeRunner|and stuff]])''' 21:10, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Just leave the side stories since they appear to be different things altogether, I.E. chronicals is not the same series as the Mega Evolution ones.

== The Page Title ==

Why is the page title even called "New Series"? We already have an official title in the form of Pocket Monsters 2019, or alternatively Pokémon Journeys: The Series. The only argument on this page so far talks about some hypothetical "quota" to keep the pages consistent. But the truth is, the title isn’t actually consistent with the previous ones, and it’s a fact. Factual information shouldn’t be ignored just to satisfy so called "quotas" when Bulbapedia (quite stubbornly, at times) aims to include only official information. Then why are they ditching official information to add a new, frankly ridiculous page title?

* Although [[SM140]] and [[SM142]]'s Japanese episode titles were fully announced on September 5, 2019, this episode's Japanese title was not publicly unveiled until September 21, nearly two weeks later. This was done to avoid spoiling the fact that {{Ash}} would win the [[Manalo Conference]].

* [[Professor Burnet]] and {{an|Faba}} narrate the preview for [[SM142|the next episode]].

===Errors===
* When Professor Kukui's Incineroar is sent out of its Pokeball, the black stripes on its torso are miscolored red.

'''Magneton''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レアコイル''' ''Rarecoil'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Steel}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]]. Prior to [[Generation II]], it was a pure {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Magnemite}} starting at [[level]] 30 and evolves into {{p|Magnezone}} when [[level]]ed up in a [[special magnetic field]].

==Biology==
[[File:Clemont Magneton three Magnemite.png|thumb|200px|left|Magneton splitting into three Magnemite]]
Magneton is the result of three {{p|Magnemite}} becoming linked together by a strong magnetic force, although a single Magnemite can evolve by itself when no other Magnemite are in the vicinity. Each individual Magnemite has a gray spherical body with a single eye, a gray and red-and-blue tipped horseshoe magnet on each side. The topmost Magnemite has three {{wp|Phillips head}} screws on its body, while the others appear to have only two. The three Magnemite that Magneton consists of can be linked several ways. Magneton is most commonly seen as one Magnemite on top, and two Magnemite linked by the screws on the bottom, forming a triangle. In some cases, commonly seen in 3D games such as [[Pokémon Snap]], the Magnemite will not be connected at all, remain in a triangular formation at rest, and are able to freely move within each other's vicinity to form other patterns. In this case, all three Magnemite have three screws. The magnetic forces that holds the three Magnemite together is powerful enough to dry up all moisture and raise the temperature 3.6°F (2°C) within a 3,300 foot (1,000 meter) radius. It can also be disruptive to electronic devices.

Being composed of three Magnemite, it is about three times as powerful electrically, though not three times as intelligent. Even though Magneton is a mechanical creature, it still has the need to eat. [[EP195|As seen in the anime]], food for Magneton consists of electrical currents. It is usually found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|rough terrain}}, often near power plants. When sunspots flare up, Magneton tends to appear more often, presumably due to the changes in the sun's magnetic field. When rain clouds form, it also gathers in high areas prone to lightning strikes. It has been shown [[PS011|in the manga]] that it possesses the ability to form its electricity into both platforms and barriers. Despite its modern, artificial appearance, carvings depicting Magneton have been [[Media:Neo Premium File 2.jpg|discovered]] at the [[Ruins of Alph]], and one was [[PG18|shown]] in a flashback to the great war of [[Kalos]], indicating it has existed for at least 3000 years.

====Major appearances====
=====[[Clemont's Magneton]]=====

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Magneton is originally known as "Recoil."
* Magneton, along with its pre-evolution {{p|Magnemite}}, were pure Electric-type Pokémon in Generation I, but became dual-type {{2t|Electric|Steel}} in Generation II. This makes them the first Pokémon to ever change type, and the only ones to do so until Generation V when {{p|Rotom}}'s formes were given an additional type.
* Although it is said that Magneton is made up of three Magnemite, there is contradictory evidence seen in various forms of media.
** In the only anime episode to date showing a Magnemite evolution, ''[[EP101|Get Along, Little Pokémon]]'', when {{OBP|Ethan|EP101}}'s Magnemite #6 evolves into Magneton, it "creates" two Magnemite during evolution, instead of combining with two real Magnemite. Similarly, in the main series games, when Magnemite reaches level 30, it evolves without the aid of two additional Magnemite. This is unlike {{p|Mantyke}} which requires a {{p|Remoraid}} to evolve.
** In {{g|Snap}}, a Magneton is clearly shown to be created by three Magnemite. Also, when two Magnemite get stuck together halfway through evolution in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|original Mystery Dungeon games]], they mention how three Magnemite must come together to evolve.
** After evolution, Magneton becomes exactly ten times heavier than Magnemite. Logically, it would be three times heavier if it were actually made of three Magnemite. Magnemite weighs 13.2 lbs. (6.0 kg) whereas Magneton weighs 132.3 lbs. (60.0 kg).
* Magneton, along with {{p|Magnemite}}, has [[List of Pokémon that appear in every regional Pokédex|appeared in every regional Pokédex]]. This is due to the Sinnoh Pokédex's expansion in Platinum and the Unova Pokédex's expansion in Black 2 and White 2.
* Magneton and its pre-evolution {{p|Magnemite}} are two of few Pokémon that had their [[cry]] changed slightly in [[Generation III]]. This was due to Generation III utilizing a better sound effects game engine and [[Game Boy Advance|newer game system]].
* Magneton has been used by more rival characters than any other Pokémon, being used by three: {{ga|Blue}}, {{ga|Silver}}, and [[Wally]].
* Despite most depictions of Magneton showing they are able to float through the air, Magneton does not have the Ability {{a|Levitate}}, so it is still affected by {{type|Ground}} moves. However, starting in [[Generation IV]], Magneton can learn {{m|Magnet Rise}}, which simulates Levitate for five turns.

===Origin===
Magneton is a cluster of three {{p|Magnemite}} which in turn seems to be based on the objectification of {{wp|electromagnetism}}, one of the four {{wp|fundamental interactions}} of nature. They are likely linked through strong electromagnetic force.

====Name origin====
Magneton may be a reference to '{{wp|Bohr magneton}}, a unit of magnetic moment, or a {{wp|magnetron}} forms the core of a {{wp|microwave oven}}.

Rarecoil may be a reference to {{wp|rare-earth magnet}}s.

Mythical Pokémon

2019-04-05T15:16:14Z

PkmnTrainerV: /* Trivia */ Meltan appeared in the anime and does not star in the Mewtwo

[[File:2016 Mythical Pokémon Distributions artwork.png|thumb|350px|Artwork depicting a variety of Mythical Pokémon]]
'''Mythical Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|幻|まぼろし}}のポケモン''' ''Illusory Pokémon'') are a group of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} seen so rarely in the [[Pokémon world]] that some question their very existence. These are {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive Pokémon that, with few exceptions, cannot be obtained during normal gameplay<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20141019114239/http://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/pokescrap2014/pokemon もらえるプレゼントを詳しく紹介｜ポケモンスクラップ　オメガルビー・アルファサファイア　幻のポケモンたちをもらおう！　キャンペーン] (Japanese, archive)</ref>.

In Japanese media, Mythical Pokémon and [[Legendary Pokémon]] have always been presented as distinct groups. In non-Japanese media prior to Generation V, Mythical Pokémon and Legendary Pokémon were both considered to be Legendary Pokémon (and the term Mythical Pokémon was unused); since Generation V, the two groups are presented as distinct groups in all official media. In [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]], Mythical Pokémon are referred to as '''rare Pokémon'''.

==Characteristics of Mythical Pokémon==
Mythical Pokémon are regarded as among the rarest in [[Pokémon world]] mythology. Some are seemingly unknown to most people, while others are thought of as stuff of legends. They typically receive minimal exposure during normal gameplay, usually alluded to in vague hints. They are then revealed to players months or years after the debut of their respective [[generation]]. Upon being revealed, they are celebrated across the numerous media, often starring in {{pkmn|movie}}s and being featured prominently in {{pkmn|merchandise}}.

With few exceptions, Mythical Pokémon cannot be obtained in the [[core series]] games in the course of normal gameplay. They can typically only be obtained by [[Mystery Gift]] (either directly, or using an [[event item]]). They are distributed to players via [[Mystery Gift]] on special occasions such as screenings of Pokémon movies, events in retail stores, online distributions, and the [[Pokémon 20th Anniversary]], or may be received via [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off games]] that feature special connectivity.

The [[gender]] of every Mythical Pokémon is unknown. Almost all Mythical Pokémon cannot [[Evolution|evolve]], with the exception of {{p|Meltan}}, and most cannot {{pkmn|breeding|breed}}, although {{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Phione}} can be bred with {{p|Ditto}} to produce {{p|Phione}} {{pkmn|Egg}}s.

Much like [[starter Pokémon]] appear at the beginning of each [[regional Pokédex]] and their generation's portion of the [[National Pokédex]], Mythical Pokémon typically appear at the very end, and Legendary Pokémon immediately before them. The Mythical Pokémon {{p|Victini}} is the only exception, which appears at the start of the [[Unova Pokédex]] as #000, coming before the region's starter Pokémon in the Pokédex.

No Mythical Pokémon is required to complete the [[Pokédex]] for the [[Diploma]], except in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, which require the player to obtain {{p|Deoxys}} to complete the [[National Pokédex]] Diploma due to it being available as part of the [[Delta Episode]].

|}

===In the anime===
Mythical Pokémon typically make their {{pkmn|anime}} debut in a {{pkmn|movie}}, rather than first appearing in a normal episode. Most are held in very high regard in all forms of canon, though their status varies between the {{pkmn|games}} and anime.

In the anime, they are often only seen by special {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, such as [[Ash Ketchum]] and people who have a special connection to them. Ill-intentioned people often seek to possess them, due to their power and rarity. {{si|Tobias}} is the first {{pkmn|Trainer}} seen to own a Mythical Pokémon in the anime, using the Mythical Pokémon {{p|Darkrai}} and the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Latios}} in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]. Another character to own a Mythical Pokémon was {{al|Dia}}, an inhabitant of the [[Ultra Ruin]], who owns the Mythical Pokémon {{p|Zeraora}}. Ash owns a Mythical Pokémon, {{p|Meltan}}, which he {{pkmn2|caught}} in [[SM112]] after it befriended his {{AP|Rowlet}}.

==List of Mythical Pokémon==
Of the {{numpkmn}} Pokémon species, 19 are Mythical Pokémon ({{#expr:(18/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}%). Including Phione, there are 20 Mythical Pokémon ({{#expr:(20/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}%). Each [[generation]] has introduced at least one Mythical Pokémon.

===Generation I===
One Mythical Pokémon was introduced in [[Generation I]].

====Mew====
[[File:20th Anniversary Mew.png|thumb|200px|Artwork of {{p|Mew}} from the {{pkmn|20th Anniversary}}]]
{{p|Mew}} is a {{type|Psychic}} Mythical Pokémon. It is believed to contain the genetic codes of all Pokémon in its DNA. Initially thought to be extinct, a {{ka|Pokémon Mansion|scientific team}} has reported sightings of it in [[Guyana]]. {{p|Mewtwo}} was created after a series of experiments based on Mew, and is thus considered to be part of a [[Legendary duo]] with it.

Mew established the convention of Mythical Pokémon with its release in {{game|Red and Green|s}}. Its base stat total of 600 and the stat distribution of 100 to each stat also created a trend followed by several Mythical Pokémon released later in the series. Pokémon following this trend include {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Shaymin|Land Forme]] {{p|Shaymin}}, and {{p|Victini}}.

Designed by [[Shigeki Morimoto]], it was initially unavailable and unknown to players, before being revealed by [[Satoshi Tajiri]] in the spring of 1996 in an issue of [[CoroCoro]]. Initially, a lottery was held to distribute the Pokémon experimentally to a limited number of players, and a [[Mew (Wizards Promo 47)|promotional card]] was included in the January issue of CoroCoro. Supposed [[Easter egg#Truck|methods]] of obtaining Mew, passed on through word-of-mouth, contributed to the success of the Pokémon series. Its success was mirrored in the west with the eventual release of {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, making Mew a prominent character of the first generation, co-starring in the first animated movie, ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.

In {{game|Emerald}}, with the [[Old Sea Chart]] [[event item]], the player can travel to [[Faraway Island]], where they can encounter a wild Mew, after they complete a game of hide-and-seek with it. This is the only time Mew has appeared in the wild, excluding [[glitch]]es.

In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, it can use a unique [[Z-Crystal]] known as the [[Mewnium Z]], which allows it to perform the [[Z-Move]] [[Genesis Supernova]]. In Sun and Moon, the Mewnium Z was only available through a [[Pokémon Bank]] promotion, but it is available in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} by showing a Mew to a man in the Tide Song Hotel in Heahea City.
{{-}}

===Generation II===
One Mythical Pokémon was introduced in [[Generation II]].

====Celebi====
[[File:M13 Celebi distribution artwork.png|thumb|left|200px|Obtaining {{p|Celebi}} on a [[Nintendo DS Lite]] via [[Mystery Gift]]]]
{{p|Celebi}} is a {{2t|Psychic|Grass}}-type Mythical Pokémon. It is referred to as the guardian of forests, protecting and nourishing them as it [[Time travel|travels through time]].

Celebi shares a special connection with the [[Ilex Forest]] in [[Johto]] and the [[Agate Village]]'s {{DL|Agate Village|Relic Forest}} in [[Orre]], having the [[Ilex Forest shrine]] and the [[Relic Stone]] as monuments to honor it in those areas.

Introduced in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, Celebi was the second Mythical Pokémon to be released. Created by [[Ken Sugimori]], it was dubbed the "New Mew" soon after being revealed because of its similar size and stats with Mew, as well as the status of being the last in the [[National Pokédex]] as of its generation and being unobtainable through normal gameplay. It first became available in Nintendo Space World 2000 in Japan, with numerous other events coming in the following years worldwide.

In {{game|Crystal}}, if the player has the [[GS Ball]] [[Key Item]], they can encounter a wild Celebi in [[Ilex Forest]]. In the original [[Game Boy Color]] release of Pokémon Crystal, this item was distributed via [[Pokémon Mobile System GB]] in Japan (it was not available outside of Japan). In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Virtual Console]] release, the player can obtain the GS Ball in normal gameplay in [[Goldenrod City]] after entering the [[Hall of Fame]], making this the second time a Mythical Pokémon can be encounted in normal gameplay (after {{p|Deoxys}} in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}).

It starred in the fourth Pokémon movie, ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]''. A Celebi also had a central role in ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.
{{-}}
===Generation III===
Two Mythical Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation III]].

====Jirachi====
[[File:Jirachi Encounter.png|thumb|240px|Encountering {{p|Jirachi}}]]
{{p|Jirachi}} is a {{2t|Steel|Psychic}}-type Mythical Pokémon. It is said to able to grant any wishes written on the tags on its head once awake. It only wakes up for seven days once every thousand years. If in danger, it will fight without waking up.

Jirachi was introduced in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} and it, like Mew and Celebi, is a {{type|Psychic}} Mythical Pokémon with 100 for each [[base stat]]. It was revealed in 2003 in the context of the sixth movie, ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', in which it starred. It first became available in Japan to players who pre-ordered tickets to the movie, with other limited distribution events following throughout the year. Its distribution in the west was altered, as it was included in the [[Pokémon Colosseum Bonus Disc]] in the United States and in [[Pokémon Channel]] in Europe and Australia. Unlike its predecessors, Jirachi does not have an extensive story or event in the core games, with its lore limited to a few indirect [[Mossdeep City|references]].

Jirachi is heavily connected to the real-world Japanese festival of {{wp|Tanabata}}, with several [[List of Tanabata event Pokémon|distributions]] occurring in celebration of the event.
{{-}}
====Deoxys====
[[File:Ranger 3 Deoxys mission art.png|thumb|240px|left|{{p|Deoxys}} surrounded by {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}}s]]
{{p|Deoxys}} is a {{type|Psychic}} Mythical Pokémon. It mutated from a space virus when exposed to a laser beam. It is able to change its form, altering its appearance and traits. The crystal on its chests acts as its brain, as well as a defense mechanism.

Although it retained a base stat total of 600, Deoxys was the first Mythical Pokémon to have a base stat distribution other than 100 in every stat. Additionally, Deoxys introduced the concept of [[List of Pokémon with form differences|Formes]] which altered the distribution of stats.

In spite of being included in the preceding games, {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, Deoxys was first made available in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. Officially revealed in late 2003 as a leading character in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', players were first able to capture Deoxys by use of the {{DL|Event item|Aurora Ticket}}, which provided access to Birth Island, where it appears in-game.

While Deoxys originally had little impact on the story of [[Generation III]], {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} introduced the [[Delta Episode]], a mission following the {{player}}'s first completion of the [[Hoenn League]] in which the player must stop a meteor from hitting the planet by destroying it with a befriended {{p|Rayquaza}}, revealing a Deoxys within. This marked the first time a Mythical Pokémon was available in-game without the need to attend an event or use a download code.

Contrary to its classification in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, [http://www.pokemoncenter.com/info/Pokemon_Characters PokémonCenter.com] as well as the [[Scholastic]] book ''[[Official Guide to Legendary and Mythical Pokémon]]'' call Deoxys a Legendary Pokémon rather than a Mythical Pokémon.
{{-}}
===Generation IV===
Four Mythical Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation IV]] (five including {{p|Phione}}).

====Manaphy and Phione====
{{main|Sea guardians}}
[[File:Manaphyphione.png|thumb|200px|right|Artwork of {{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Phione}} from {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}]]
{{p|Manaphy}} is a {{type|Water}} Mythical Pokémon, and {{p|Phione}} is a {{type|Water}} Pokémon. Manaphy are born on cold seafloors, also swimming great distances to return to their birthplace, and are born with a wondrous power to bond with any kind of Pokémon. Phione live in warm seas, using the inflation sac on their heads to search for food and to drift in packs, always returning to the place of their birth. Together, these two Pokémon species make up a Mythical duo of a parent and child.

Manaphy and Phione have the unique ability among Mythical Pokémon to [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] with {{p|Ditto}} in captivity to produce Phione. Phione, cannot, however, [[evolution|evolve]] into Manaphy. The only legitimate way to obtain a Phione in-game is to breed a Manaphy or another Phione. Phione is the weaker of the two Pokémon, having 80 distributed into each stat instead of 100. It is impossible to get a Manaphy Egg through this method.

Phione's status as a Mythical Pokémon is disputed, with even official sources contradicting one another. Further information can be found [[Phione (Pokémon)#Mythical status|here]].

Manaphy was first made available to those who pre-ordered tickets for ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'' in Japan. Anyone who pre-ordered tickets received a voucher which could be redeemed from June 17 to August 31, 2006, to access {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}'s [[Ranger Net]] mission, "Recover the Precious Egg!". Once completed, a Manaphy Egg could be transferred to {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} and hatched. Pokémon Ranger's sequel games, [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]] and [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]] have similar downloadable missions where Manaphy Eggs can be transferred to not only Diamond and Pearl but {{g|Platinum}} and {{g|HeartGold and SoulSilver}} as well. Manaphy has since been released through distribution as most other Mythical Pokémon.
{{-}}

====Darkrai====
[[File:Darkrai Newmoon Island.png|thumb|240px|left|{{p|Darkrai}} on [[Newmoon Island]]]]
{{p|Darkrai}} is a {{type|Dark}} Mythical Pokémon. It chases people and Pokémon away from its territory by causing them to experience deep, nightmarish slumbers. However, it is merely protecting itself, and means no harm. It is particularly active on moonless nights.

Darkrai is heavily connected with the status condition of {{status|Sleep}}, as reflected by its [[signature Ability]], {{a|Bad Dreams}}, and its [[signature move]] {{m|Dark Void}}. It is also capable of learning the move {{m|Nightmare}} to inflict additional damage to sleeping opponents. In addition, from [[Generation VII]] onwards, Darkrai is the only Pokémon able to use Dark Void, so that means it can't be used by other Pokémon even if copied by {{m|Sketch}} or {{m|Mimic}}).

Darkrai has appeared with an antagonistic role in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]], specifically as an enemy of the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Cresselia}}. In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, and {{game|Platinum}}, the player must also cure {{tc|Sailor}} [[Eldritch]]'s son of a nightmare using a [[Lunar Wing]] from Cresselia. The two Pokémon's relationship is further cemented in the anime episode ''[[DP104|Sleepless in Pre-Battle!]]'', in which Cresselia is revealed to actively drive Darkrai away from [[Canalave City]]. Collectively, the two Pokémon are known by a fan designator, the {{DL|Legendary duo|lunar duo}}.

Darkrai was officially revealed February 2007, and was first made available to those who owned Pokémon Diamond and Pearl and watched ''[[M10|Pokémon: The Rise of Darkrai]]'' in Japan from release to September 9, 2007. Other distributions were made available afterwards. Notably, in {{game|Platinum}}, an event gave the [[Member Card]] to players over [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]], activating an in-game event which allowed for capture of Darkrai on [[Newmoon Island]].
{{-}}

====Shaymin====
[[File:Shaymin Gracideas.png|thumb|240px|{{p|Shaymin}} in a field of [[Gracidea]] flowers]]
{{p|Shaymin}} is a {{type|Grass}} Mythical Pokémon. Shaymin live in flower patches and avoid detection by curling up to look like a flowering plant. Shaymin are able to dissolve toxins in the air to transform ruined land into a lush field of flowers. When sensing gratitude, the flowers all over its body burst into bloom.

When exposed to the blooming [[Gracidea|Gracidea flower]] during the daytime, Shaymin becomes Sky Forme Shaymin. Sky Forme has altered stats from its original Land Forme and takes on the {{t|Flying}} type as a secondary type. Shaymin will revert to its Land Forme at night, while {{status|frozen}} or, before [[Generation VII]], when deposited into the [[Pokémon Storage System]].

Shaymin was officially revealed in February 2008 as a star of ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', and in early June 2008, its Sky Forme was revealed. Shaymin was first made available to owners of Pokémon {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} during the theatrical showing of the movie in Japan from July 19 to September 30, 2008. Other distributions were later made available, but a notable distribution occurred for North American and PAL players from September 28 to November 8, 2009, through the distribution of the [[List of Key Items in Generation IV|Key Item]] [[Oak's Letter]]. This item allowed players to access [[Seabreak Path]] and capture a Shaymin in [[Flower Paradise]].
{{-}}

====Arceus====
[[File:Arceus ruins art.png|thumb|left|240px|{{p|Arceus}} at the [[Sinjoh Ruins]]]]
{{p|Arceus}} is a {{type|Normal}} Mythical Pokémon. According to mythology, Arceus emerged from an Egg before the universe even existed, then shaped the world with its 1,000 arms.

Arceus is said to have created the regions of [[Sinnoh]] and [[Ransei]], and may have created the entire [[Pokémon universe]]. According to legend, Arceus also created two [[Legendary trio]]s. First, it created the [[creation trio]]: Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina, to balance time, space, and antimatter. Then, it created the [[lake guardians]]: {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}, and created spirit, and has since been residing in the [[Hall of Origin]], which will connect to [[Spear Pillar]] when the Azure Flute is played there. As their creator, it is both trios' [[trio master]]. It is unique in this regard, as it is the only Mythical Pokémon to be the master of a Legendary trio, and the only Pokémon to be the master of two.

Arceus is often referenced in [[Sinnoh myths|Sinnoh's mythology]] as the "Original One". Both [[Canalave City]]'s [[Canalave Library|library]] and the [[Plate]]s scattered across Sinnoh describe Arceus' creation of the universe. It receives more exposure in-game than Mythical Pokémon traditionally find.

Arceus' [[signature Ability]], {{a|Multitype}}, allows it to [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Arceus|change its form]] and [[type]] depending on which plate it [[held item|holds]]. This will also change the type of its [[signature move]], {{m|Judgment}}.

Arceus was officially revealed on February 14, 2009, and first made available to players on July 18 of that year, the day when ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' premiered in Japan. Arceus was revealed to international audiences on August 3, 2009.
{{-}}

===Generation V===
Four Mythical Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation V]].

====Victini====
[[File:Victini-Liberty Garden Island.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Victini}} on [[Liberty Garden]]]]
{{p|Victini}} is a {{2t|Psychic|Fire}}-type Mythical Pokémon. It is said that this Pokémon brings victory and that trainers with Victini always win, regardless of the type of encounter. It creates an unlimited supply of energy inside its body, which it shares with those who touch it. When it shares the energy it creates, that being's entire body will be overflowing with power.

Victini is notable for appearing before the starter Pokémon of its [[Generation V|debut generation]], giving it the [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Unova Pokédex number]] #000, a first in the Pokémon series.

Victini was revealed in a preview for [[M14|the fourteenth Pokémon movie]] which was shown at the end of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''. It was made available in-game by use of the [[Liberty Pass]], an [[event item]] which was distributed across varying time periods worldwide. The Liberty Pass allowed players to travel to [[Liberty Garden]]. Once there, the player would be challenged by members of [[Team Plasma]] and could find Victini in the basement of the lighthouse.

{{-}}
====Keldeo====
[[File:Keldeo event art.png|thumb|200px|left|Artwork of {{p|Keldeo}}'s Ordinary Form]]
{{p|Keldeo}} is a {{2t|Water|Fighting}}-type Mythical Pokémon and the fourth member of the [[Swords of Justice]]. Its initial appearance in {{game|Black and White|s}} as well as the default in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Black 2 and White 2]] is its Ordinary Form. In Black 2 and White 2, Keldeo has a [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Keldeo|second form]], its Resolute Form. After triggering an event in the [[Pledge Grove]], the other Swords of Justice—{{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Virizion}}, and {{p|Terrakion}}—will teach Keldeo {{m|Secret Sword}}. It will remain in its Resolute Form as long as it knows Secret Sword.

Keldeo debuted in the fifteenth Pokémon film ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]'', along with the other Swords of Justice.

{{p|Meloetta}} is Mythical Pokémon with two different Formes, Aria Forme and Pirouette Forme. Aria Forme is {{2t|Normal|Psychic}}-type while Pirouette Forme is {{2t|Normal|Fighting}}-type. Legend says that it once played a song and danced so lightly, it filled people's hearts with joy. However, when sorrow darkened the world, it lost the melody. At the same time, its red shoes were lost somewhere. Using {{m|Relic Song}} changes its form.

Upon entering the cafe in [[Castelia City]] in the [[core series]] {{pkmn|games}}, a guitarist, who knows of the story, remembers Meloetta's melody. Upon playing it, Meloetta remembers the song that it had danced to.

Meloetta made its anime debut in [[PK23]]. It debuted on TV in its Aria Forme in ''[[BW082|An Epic Defense Force!]]'' and its Pirouette Forme debuted in ''[[BW087|Expedition to Onix Island!]]''.

==Trivia==
* If {{p|Phione}} is not considered a Mythical Pokémon:
** {{p|Manaphy}} is the only Mythical Pokémon that can breed; as such, it is also the only Mythical Pokémon that is not a member of the {{egg3|Undiscovered}}.
* {{p|Meltan}} is the only Mythical Pokémon that is capable of [[evolution]].
* Despite the first Mythical Pokémon, Mew, being added to the original games right before release, the concept of "illusory monsters" (Mythical Monsters) already existed in [[Satoshi Tajiri]]'s pitch for [[Capsule Monsters]]. They were said to be hard to encounter, hard to catch or be impossible to catch if the player missed their chance. For example, there would be a "Green Dragon" that could only be found rarely in a specific area of a dungeon, and it would have taken around two hours to find and catch.<ref name="ref1">[http://www.glitterberri.com/pokemon-red-blue/early-concept-art/2/ GlitterBerri's Game Translations » Early Concept Art]</ref>
* There are no Mythical Pokémon with [[Ability#Hidden Abilities|Hidden Abilities]].
* In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} are referred to as "mythical Pokémon" (Japanese: 神話のポケモン ''mythical Pokémon''). However, this predates the use of the term Mythical Pokémon in English and has a different Japanese name.

{{spoilers}}


==Plot==
[[Hau]] runs through a [[Melemele Island]] forest as his {{p|Dartrix}} practices its {{m|Razor Leaf}}. Just as Hau states that he plans to challenge [[Hala|his grandfather]], Dartrix senses something and fires a Razor Leaf into a nearby shrub. Hau checks the location and finds {{Ash}}, {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{Rotom}} pinned to a tree trunk. As Ash greet him, Hau quickly notices Ash's [[Z-Ring]] and asks if he competed in Hala's [[Island challenge|grand trial]].

Ash and Hau sit down to talk further, and Ash soon learns that Hau is Hala's grandson. Due to Hau's current experience, Hala has refused to {{pkmn|battle}} him. Hau adds that he and his father recently returned to [[Alola]] after a long time away. He explains that he is training close to the Trial Site, while Ash states that he and Pikachu were just exploring Melemele when they stopped after seeing Dartrix's impressive skills. As Ash asks whether Dartrix is the evolved form of {{p|Rowlet}}, Rotom interjects and recites its data on Dartrix. Ash holds up [[Bag|his backpack]] and introduces Hau and Dartrix to his still sleeping {{AP|Rowlet}}. Dartrix is immediately alarmed by Rowlet's bed hair and begins grooming it, but quickly becomes exhausted. Hau is amazed that Rowlet actually defeated Hala's {{p|Crabrawler}}, while his Dartrix was unable to. Soon enough, Hau and his Dartrix eagerly accept Ash's challenge.

Before the match begins Rowlet and Dartrix exchange intense stares, and Rotom takes its position as the battle's referee. Hau makes the first [[move]], but Rowlet falls asleep mid-battle and manages to dodge Dartrix's {{m|Leaf Blade}}. Ash manages to wake Rowlet up, while Dartrix pulls its face from the ground, allowing the match to continue. Rowlet sends out a Razor Leaf, but Dartrix's Razor Leaf attack slices its way through. Rowlet manages to dodge the Razor Leaf. As Dartrix prepares to land a Leaf Blade, Ash attempts to place his [[Grassium Z]] onto his Z-Ring but drops it in the grass. As Ash frantically searches for the Z-Crystal, Rowlet is struck out by Dartrix's attack. Rotom announces that Dartrix is victorious as Hau and Dartix high five and hug each other in celebration. While Ash is disappointed, Rotom claims that Rowlet appeared unusually serious and more powerful in battle. Ash challenges Hau to a rematch after seeing Rowlet's increasing aggression. Hau declines because he has an appointment with his father to attend. Instead, the two {{pkmn|Trainer}}s promise to meet up the next day for the rematch.

Overnight, Ash tells {{an|Professor Kukui}} and [[Professor Burnet]] about Hau and Dartrix. Meanwhile, Rowlet continues to practice its techniques against a {{m|Substitute}} doll. Burnet asks Ash if retaliating with a new move would be more exciting. Rotom searches its database as Burnet tells the story about Royal Mask's {{TP|Professor Kukui|Incineroar}} learning {{m|Cross Chop}} from {{m|Brick Break}}. Kukui interrupts the conversation and goes on to recite the Royal Mask's famous motto, "If you've got doubts, go back to your roots". Burnet explains that it means to go back to the beginning and Kukui adds something like a place or important event to Rowlet may help. Ash thinks of an idea and announces that he and Rowlet will practice a new move the next day.

The following day arrives and Ash escorts Rowlet to the location where they first met. Rotom is immediately concerned by Ash's logic, but Ash reassures it. Rowlet flies off and soon encounters a familiar {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Trumbeak}}. The two Pokémon are happy to be reunited. Ash follows Rowlet and Trumbeak as they fly over to {{p|Toucannon}}'s nest. Toucannon greets Ash and soon it and a Trumbeak fly down and begin eating rocks on the ground. The odd behaviour perplexes Ash and Pikachu, but Rotom explains that this trait is common amongst Bird Pokémon and that its helps them to digest their food properly. Just after Rotom warns that Ash and Pikachu should not try this, Ash stops Pikachu from swallowing a rock. To everyone's surprise, Trumbeak and Toucannon showcase their {{m|Bullet Seed}} attacks. The pair begin to teach Rowlet the attack. Ash is excited, but Rotom explains that Rowlet cannot learn the move. Ash retorts that Rowlet will simply overcome its limits, but Rotom is left disappointed by Ash's conclusion. As the Pokemon begin practicing Bullet Seed, as expected, Rowlet is unable to perform the move.

Ash joins the practice session. He stuffs his mouth full of round fruit and to everyone's surprise, Ash performs his own Bullet Seed, skillfully hitting the target. Ash explains that the trick to a successful Bullet Seed is focusing the energy in your stomach and keeping your eyes on the target. Rowlet is greatly encouraged and goes to look for the perfect stone. It soon finds a particularly round rock, but Rotom is alarmed and reveals that Rowlet just swallowed an [[Everstone]], an item that prevents [[evolution]]. Ash is shocked and tries to get Rowlet to spit the item out. Rotom then suggests that Rowlet tries another Bullet Seed. Rotom suggestion works, and the Everstone lands at Ash's feet. As Ash holds up the Everstone, Rowlet swoops in and promptly swallows it again. Rowlet returns to practicing on the target, landing several successive hits with the Everstone and swallowing the rock on the rebound. Soon enough the practice pays off and Rowlet's technique has developed into a {{m|Seed Bomb}} attack.

With a new move now mastered, Ash rushes over to meet Hau for the promised rematch. Hau apologizes for having to leave, and the match begins. Rowlet showcases its new move, Seed Bomb, and lands a hit on Dartrix. Hau is left amazed but confused by Ash's odd Seed Bomb technique. Rowlet soon strikes Dartrix with its {{m|Peck}} attack. Dartrix knocks Rowlet to the ground with Razor Leaf and follows up with a Leaf Blade. Dartrix pins Rowlet to a tree trunk with several blade quills. In desperation, Ash has Rowlet use Seed Bomb, but Dartrix knocks the attack away with its Leaf Blade. Just as Dartrix goes in for a finishing Leaf Blade, Ash puts his Grassium Z into his Z-Ring and has Rowlet free itself from the Razor Leaves with its surge in power. Rowlet unleashes {{m|Bloom Doom}} and Dartrix is defeated.

Hau tears up at his loss, but soon picks himself up. Rowlet and Dartrix thank each other as Ash and Hau agree to battle after Hau completes Hala's grand trial. Rowlet spots its Everstone on the ground and quickly swallows it before returning to sleep. Hau and Ash wave goodbye to each other as they walk in opposite directions.

'''Meltan''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メルタン''' ''Meltan'') is a {{type|Steel}} [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VII]] in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]].

In [[Pokémon GO]], it [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Melmetal}} by using 400 Meltan [[Candy]]. It cannot be evolved in other games.

Its appearance was first teased during the September [[Pokémon GO]] [[Community Day]] on September 22, 2018, and it was officially revealed on September 25, 2018.

==Biology==
Meltan is a small Pokémon with a shiny, silvery body made of liquid metal. Its head is a golden hexagon with a large circular hole in its center, resembling a hexagonal nut. Floating inside the hole is its eye. A red tail extends from its body with two tiny protrusions at the end.

It is a curious and expressive Pokémon. Meltan's liquid arms and legs can corrode and absorb metal into its body, which it uses to generate electricity. Its eye can use this energy to fire an attack against opponents.<ref>[https://pokemonletsgo.pokemon.com/en-us/new-pokemon/ Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! | Meltan]</ref> Meltan are instinctively drawn towards each in order to combine into {{p|Melmetal}}.

Many {{p|Ditto}} transformed into Meltan have been observed in [[Pokémon GO]], including in [[Professor Willow]]'s field work. It has also been described in ancient texts found in the same place as the [[Mystery Box]], a mysterious item that attracts Meltan to its location when opened. As seen in the [[SM106|anime]], Meltan can travel underwater.

==In the anime==

'''Meltan''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メルタン''' ''Meltan'') is a {{type|Steel}} [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VII]] in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]].

In [[Pokémon GO]], it [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Melmetal}} by using 400 Meltan [[Candy]]. It cannot be evolved in other games.

Its appearance was first teased during the September [[Pokémon GO]] [[Community Day]] on September 22, 2018, and it was officially revealed on September 25, 2018.

==Biology==
Meltan is a small Pokémon with a shiny, silvery body made of liquid metal. Its head is a golden hexagon with a large circular hole in its center, resembling a hexagonal nut. Floating inside the hole is its eye. A red tail extends from its body with two tiny protrusions at the end.

It is a curious and expressive Pokémon. Meltan's liquid arms and legs can corrode and absorb metal into its body, which it uses to generate electricity. Its eye can use this energy to fire an attack against opponents.<ref>[https://pokemonletsgo.pokemon.com/en-us/new-pokemon/ Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! | Meltan]</ref> Meltan are instinctively drawn towards each in order to combine into {{p|Melmetal}}.

Many {{p|Ditto}} transformed into Meltan have been observed in [[Pokémon GO]], including in [[Professor Willow]]'s field work. It has also been described in ancient texts found in the same place as the [[Mystery Box]], a mysterious item that attracts Meltan to its location when opened. As seen in the [[SM106|anime]], Meltan can travel underwater.

==In the anime==
[[File:Meltan anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Meltan in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Major appearances===
Meltan will appear in [[SM112]].

===Minor appearances===
Three Meltan were briefly seen underwater in [[SM106]].

Multiple Meltan were seen inside the cargo hold of the ship that {{Ash}} and {{ashcl}} took back to [[Melemele Island]] at the end of [[SM109]].

== Notability of Ride Pokémon ==

Alright, this has been on my mind ever since opening was re-opened to the public and I'd like input from others. Are Ride Pokemon notable enough for their own articles? Yes, Charizard and Lapras are owned by Kiawe and Lana, but it seems that they aren't really considered full members of their teams. Heck, Lana keeps Lapras at her house instead of in a Poke Ball or something. We always give articles to a Pokemon owned by a main character, but I have to point out that SM isn't like the series that came before it. Ash isn't on an adventure (at least not yet), and the total number of classmates is far higher than any of his permanent traveling companions. Because of this, I question the point of giving Charizard its own article, when it hasn't actually done anything as of yet. He didn't even use it against Team Skull. Turtonator I'm fine with because it seems to be his main battler, and is the more focused of his known Pokemon as evidenced by its Z-Move and placement with Kiawe in the opening and ending. I'm fine with it getting one if it does something in the near future, but for now I feel it's too early. Any thoughts on this?

:As I said [[Talk:Lana's Lapras|earlier]], I also agree this is too soon to create a page for these yet. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] ([[User talk:Tyler53841|talk]]) 19:19, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
::I think for the moment, we should treat Kiawe and Lana, and any of the other captains and kahunas, the same way we do Gym Leaders and Elite 4 members, only their signature Pokemon get articles.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:24, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
:::I support this as well. As [[SM006]] proves, there's no concrete guarantee that any of Ash's friends in Alola will appear in any given episode, much less their Pokémon. - [[User:Chosen|Chosen]] of [[User talk:Chosen|Mana]] 20:19, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
:::::Well if Lana's Lapras doesn't have a page neither should Charazard. We have to do it one way or another, but not both ways. [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokémon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 16:19, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
::::::Extremely agree. I don't think Charizard is a main Pokemon for Kiawe as he actually used Turtonator only and the most main point is - does he actually own Charizard? KyleRGiggs 06:40, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
:::::::Charazard is probably a family Ride Pokémon like Lapras, so he isn't lying when he says "my Charazard" but I feel like it probably belongs to his dad or somone. [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokémon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 08:51, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
::::::::The approach that Force Fire suggested would be an appropriate approach to take moving forward. Signature Pokémon are the only ones guaranteed to get articles for now. This is subject to change based on how things go as the series progresses. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 23:52, 24 December 2016 (UTC)

== Charizard ==
Kiawe was shown to keep it in a Poke Ball in SM042. Can it least be added under on hand, seeing as he does have it in its Poke Ball when he isn't using it? [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 20:39, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

== Kiawe's Charizard ==

This may have been discussed before but I wanted to share my opinion as well. As of now it's confirmed that Charizard belongs to Kiawe. Despite being used more as an way of transportation rather than in a battle, it has appeared in many episodes since it's debut. So, I guess it would be fair for it to have it's own article, or at least to be under the "On hand" section. Because placing it under "Ride Pokemon", kinda shows out that Charizard is just a temporary Pokemon like all other Poke Riders used. They even showed a background of how Kiawe captured it (given) so it has a story. If Misty's Luvdisc could get it's own article, so should Charizard. {{unsigned|Riox-Ibui}}
:It should of had this a long time ago. I don't know why we are so insistent on shoving it off to the side.--[[User:Pikablu|Pikablu]] ([[User talk:Pikablu|talk]]) 13:59, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

I think it's time to Charizard have your own page. --[[User:Lockheedpryde|Lockheedpryde]] ([[User talk:Lockheedpryde|talk]]) 18:11, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

== Charizard's Page, again ==

It has even used a Z-Move now...
it deserves its own page now (it has deserved for a long time anyway) like Kiawe's other Pokémon. [[User:PkmnTrainerV|The legendary PkmnTrainerV is Here!]] ([[User talk:PkmnTrainerV|talk]]) 11:26, 3 February 2019 (UTC)

'''Silvally''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''シルヴァディ''' ''Silvady'') is a {{type|Normal}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Type: Null}} when [[level]]ed up with high [[friendship]]. It will {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Silvally|change types}} when it is holding any type of [[memory]].

==Biology==
Silvally's chimeric body is nearly identical to that of its pre-evolution; however, the fur from its head turns from gray to silver, and the membrane and spikes on its fish-like tailfin turn white. Without its control mask, its mechanical, lupine head is revealed. Its snout is metallic on its nose bridge and upper jaw, both of which lead to a triangular black nose framed by three red lines. Its upper jaw ends in a sharply pointed overbite, while its lower jaw has two visible fangs, one on each side. Its eyes have white sclerae, bright silver irises, and no pupils. These eyes are mostly surrounded by black coloration, framed along the bottom by its upper jaw. On each side of its head is a circular, metallic {{wp|Optical disc drive|drive}}, with a white circle crossed by a metal line. The back of the crest on its head opens up, and three long spikes jut out of it. Its two ears, one on each side of its crest, are short and pointed, with black and red sections on their insides.

Once it finds a partner it trusts, Type: Null destroys its own control mask to become Silvally. It reverts to its natural, wild temperament, but it is nonetheless loyal to its Trainer, and will even risk its own life in its partner's defense. The destruction of its mask re-activates its {{a|RKS System}}, allowing it to change its [[type]] according to the [[memory]] attached to it; its eyes, spikes, drives, and fin membrane all change color to match its current type.

Silvally is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning {{m|Multi-Attack}}.

==Trivia==

* Silvally's [[signature move]], {{m|Multi-Attack}}, is the only move that Silvally is guaranteed {{STAB}} for, as it is always the same type as Silvally itself.
* In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], Silvally is programmed to be able to be taught all three {{DL|Move variation|Pledge moves}} ({{m|Grass Pledge}}, {{m|Fire Pledge}}, and {{m|Water Pledge}}). However, due to a coding error, the [[Move Tutor]] will only ever offer to teach it Grass Pledge, making the latter two unable to be learned legitimately.
** This also makes Silvally the only non-starter Pokémon to be able to learn a Pledge move.

===Origin===
Silvally, like its pre-evolution {{p|Type: Null}}, seems to be based on a {{wp|chimera}}. Parts of it also resemble a {{wp|griffin}}. Silvally's concept also bears resemblance to {{p|Arceus}}. Like its pre-evolution, it also appears to be based on {{wp|Frankenstein's monster}} due to the bolt-like objects on its face and it being created from cells of different Pokémon types.

====Name origin====

Silvally may be a combination of ''silver'' and ''ally''. In-universe, it was named by Gladion.

Silvady may be a combination of ''silver'' and ''buddy''.

Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon

2018-09-11T10:26:47Z

PkmnTrainerV: /* Trivia */ It's pretty valid trivia since the next movie will also be based on M01

{{DISPLAYTITLE:''Sun & Moon'' series}}
{{move|Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon}}

[[File:SM series logo.png|thumb|Japanese logo for ''Pocket Monsters Sun & Moon'']]

'''''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon''''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター　サン{{tt|＆|アンド}}ムーン''' ''Pocket Monsters Sun & Moon''), referred to by fans as the '''''Sun & Moon'' series''', is the sixth [[series]] of the [[Pokémon anime]] and is based on the events of the [[Generation VII]] [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]]. It follows the {{series|XY}}. It premiered on November 17, 2016 in Japan and on May 12, 2017 in the United States, although the first two episodes aired as a sneak peek in {{pmin|the United States}} on December 5, 2016.

[[Ash Ketchum]] heads off to a new region, [[Alola]], wearing a new set of clothes with his partner {{AP|Pikachu}}. Unlike the five previous series, however, Ash doesn't travel through the region. Instead, he becomes a student at the [[Pokémon School]] on [[Melemele Island]], where he meets his new {{ashfr|classmates}} {{an|Lana}}, {{an|Lillie}}, {{an|Mallow}}, {{an|Sophocles}}, and {{an|Kiawe}}. Ash receives a [[Z-Ring]] and takes on the [[island challenge]] to get new [[Z-Crystal]]s and qualify as a [[Z-Move]] user. The ''Sun & Moon'' series is notable for Ash's friends not being present in every episode. Also, characters are usually seen keeping their Pokémon out of their [[Poké Ball]]s in this series.

A new art style is implemented for the third series in a row, this time more drastically than the series that preceded it. With this new style, characters are drawn with a much more exaggerated, rounded, "cartoony" style.

Episodes in the ''Sun & Moon'' series are numbered with {{bp|epicode|the prefix}} '''SM''' on [[Bulbapedia]]. For a complete episode listing, see the [[List of Sun & Moon series episodes|list of ''Sun & Moon'' series episodes]].

==Blurb==
New adventure for Ash and Pikachu has started!

This new adventure takes place in the Alola region, full of nature. What awaits Ash and Pikachu in Alola, surrounded by an endless expanse of blue sky and seas? New Pokémon, new frinds, and new experiences… An adventure filled with aell sorts of new things begins at last! Ash also has a new look. Stay tuned for new adventures!

Let’s go! Full power! On a great adventure!!

==Dub seasons==
Like the ''XY'' series, when the ''Sun & Moon'' series came to be dubbed into English and other languages, it was localized as a whole. So far, while it is still divided into two seasons, they share a common title:
* [[S20|Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]] ([[SM001]] - [[SM043]])
* [[S21|Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon—Ultra Adventures]] ([[SM044]] - [[SM063]], [[SM065]] - present)

==Movies==

James's Mareanie

2018-09-10T14:00:04Z

'''James's Mareanie''' (Japanese: '''コジロウのヒドイデ''' ''Kojirō's Hidoide'') is the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that [[James]] {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Alola]] [[region]], and his thirteenth overall.

==History==
[[File:James and Mareanie.png|thumb|250px|left|Mareanie and James]]
[[File:Mareanie and Toxapex.png|thumb|250px|Mareanie and her former crush]]
Prior to being caught by James, Mareanie formed a crush on a {{DL|List of alternately colored Pokémon in the anime|Toxapex|differently colored Mareanie}} after he saved her from a {{p|Tentacruel}}. Later on, though, Mareanie spotted her crush giving a {{p|Corsola}}'s horn to another Mareanie, leaving her heartbroken.

Mareanie first appeared in ''[[SM012|The Sun, the Scare, the Secret Lair!]]'', in which she encountered James when he was wearing a scuba diving helmet resembling a Corsola. She latched onto his helmet, mistaking it for a real Corsola, causing it to crack and flood with water. After James reunited with {{TRT}}, Mareanie latched onto his head and injected him with poison which caused him to resemble a {{p|Mareanie}}, causing Mareanie to become smitten with James. Later, during a battle with {{Ash}}, Mareanie jumped in to help Team Rocket and launched a {{m|Spike Cannon}} towards {{AP|Pikachu}}. With Mareanie's help, Team Rocket gained the upperhand against Ash, {{status|poisoning}} his {{AP|Rowlet}} and dealing serious damage to Pikachu. As [[Jessie's Mimikyu]] was about to launch one final attack, {{an|Bewear}} suddenly appeared from the water and took Team Rocket away with it. After being dropped off at Bewear's den, James asked Mareanie to join his team, which she accepted. After catching her, James called her back out, and Mareanie affectionately latched onto his head, making him look like a Mareanie once more.

In ''[[SM025|A Team-on-Team Tussle!]]'', Mareanie assisted Team Rocket in their quest to obtain a [[Darkinium Z]]. She battled a {{pkmn2|Totem}} {{alo|Raticate}}, which protected the [[Z-Crystal]]. Mareanie attacked with Spike Cannon, agitating it to follow them away from the Darkinium Z. She was then quickly defeated by Raticate's powerful attacks.

In ''[[SM058|Fighting Back the Tears!]]'', Mareanie was reunited with her former crush, which evolved into {{p|Toxapex}} and fought James for her affections. She later ran away from Team Rocket after she overheard James talking about leaving her with Toxapex, and found sanctuary with Ash at {{an|Professor Kukui}}'s house. The next morning, while walking along the beach, she was attacked by another Tentacruel, but she was saved by James. Despite their reunion, James still insisted on {{pkmn2|released|releasing}} Mareanie, leaving her in tears. However, James was then challenged to a fight by Toxapex to make Mareanie happy, which ended in a tie. Following the fight, Mareanie decided to stay with James, which he accepted.

In ''[[SM073|Why Not Give Me a Z-Ring Sometime?]]'', Mareanie learned {{m|Knock Off}}. Realizing that they could now use their Darkinium Z, Team Rocket took {{an|Giovanni}}'s advice and traveled to [[Ula'ula Island]] to get a [[Z-Ring]] from the Ula'ula [[Island Kahuna]]. After a {{p|Gengar}} had stolen the Darkinium Z, Team Rocket gave chase, and eventually managed to recover their Z-Crystal. When the Gengar then began attacking them, [[Nanu]] gave Team Rocket a Z-Power Ring, allowing James and Mareanie to perform {{m|Black Hole Eclipse}}, defeating Gengar.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Mareanie James Wedding Fantasy.png|thumb|250px|Mareanie fantasizing about marrying James]]
Similar to a number of other Pokémon James has owned, such as {{TP|James|Victreebel}}, {{TP|James|Cacnea}}, {{TP|James|Chimecho}}, and {{TP|James|Carnivine}}, Mareanie is very fond of James and occasionally engulfs her {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s head in her ten spiked tentacles. The resulting poisoning causes James to look like a Mareanie. Mareanie has an attraction to James's appearance in this state, one of the reasons she decided to join him. In addition, Mareanie is shown to be a romantic, as seen in ''[[SM055|The Professors' New Adventure!]]'', where she was drawn to the sound of {{an|Professor Kukui}} and {{prof|Burnet}}'s wedding, causing her to fantasize about marrying James, only to be snapped out of her delusion by her Trainer calling out to her. However, prior to the moment when she first poisoned James, she was shown to be quite grumpy, as shown when she slapped Jessie's hand away when Jessie first stroked her.

When James attempted to capture a female {{p|Frillish}} in ''[[SM058|Fighting Back the Tears!]]'', Mareanie saw her as a rival for his affections and scared her away with {{m|Spike Cannon}} to prevent this capture. She then cried when James scolded her for doing so. She was shown to be very loyal to her Trainer in ''[[SM073|Why Not Give Me a Z-Ring Sometime?]]'', where she used the newly learned move {{m|Knock Off}} to attack Jessie when the latter tried to steal James's creme puff.

Ultra Guardians

PkmnTrainerV: /* History */

[[File:Ultra Guardians.png|thumb|250px|The Ultra Guardians]]
The '''Ultra Guardians''' (Japanese: '''ウルトラガーディアンズ''' ''Ultra Guardians'') are an {{pkmn|anime}}-exclusive task force and a sub-group of the [[Aether Foundation]] formed by [[Lusamine]]. Their goal is to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} [[Ultra Beast]]s that have strayed into the [[Pokémon world]], and {{pkmn2|released|release}} them back into [[Ultra Space]] to maintain safety in the [[Alola]] [[region]].

The Ultra Guardians base is overseen by [[Lusamine's Clefable]]. It is located underneath the [[Pokémon School]] and was built by the Aether Foundation. When accepting a mission, the Ultra Guardians will shout out the word "Ultroger" (Japanese: '''ウルトラジャー''' ''Ultroger'').

The Ultra Guardians were given {{ball|Beast}}s and a medical kit containing [[Full Restore]]s, [[Max Potion]]s, and some {{Berries}} with healing properties to use during their missions. They can also count with [[Poké Ride|Ride Pokémon]] to help them travel.

==History==
The Ultra Guardians were first mentioned in ''[[SM055|The Professors' New Adventure!]]'', when Lusamine invited {{Ash}} and {{ashcl}} to join the task force during [[Professor Kukui]] and [[Professor Burnet]]'s wedding.

The Ultra Guardians embarked on their first mission in ''[[SM061|A Mission of Ultra Urgency!]]'', where they were sent out to catch a {{p|Buzzwole}}. Ash eventually managed to do so, allowing it to be sent back to Ultra Space.

In ''[[SM067|Love at First Twirl!]]'', Ash caught a {{AP|Poipole}} to take care of it until the location of its [[Ultra Wormhole]] could be discovered.

The Ultra Guardians embarked on their second mission in ''[[SM069|Rise and Shine, Starship!]]'', where they were sent out to catch the {{p|Celesteela}} they discovered and dug out of a hillside the day before. However, they were unable to catch it due to it being rooted down, and were instead forced to create a defensive wall around it to protect the surrounding area from the fire produced by its takeoff.

The Ultra Guardians embarked on their third mission in [[SM078]], where they were sent out to catch a {{p|Blacephalon}} and {{p|Xurkitree}}. Their initial attempts to catch them proved unsuccessful, when the two Ultra Beasts started a performance battle with each other. Ash eventually came up with an idea of the group using their Pokémon to create their own performance to distract the two Pokémon. The plan worked, giving Ash and Lycanroc the chance to perform {{m|Splintered Stormshards}} on the Ultra Beasts, weakening them enough for {{an|Lillie}} and {{an|Lana}} to then catch them. The next day, they were safely sent back to their own home worlds.

In [[SM083]], {{an|Kiawe}}, Lana, and {{an|Mallow}} used their Ultra Guardians equipment and Ride Pokémon to help locate Ash, Lillie, and {{an|Sophocles}}, who had been accidentally shrunk by one of [[Faba]]'s inventions and subsequently gotten lost.

The Ultra Guardians embarked on their fourth mission in [[SM085]], where they were sent out to catch the {{p|Stakataka}} that had appeared at the [[Pokémon School]]. However, they were unable to catch it, as it was able to move its blocks around to avoid all of their Beast Balls, forcing the Ultra Guardians to leave it alone for the night while they came up with a different strategy. During the night, Stakataka moved to [[Viren]]'s construction site, where he and [[Viren's underlings|his underlings]] mistook it for a pedestal meant for Viren's statue. When the statue was placed on top of Stakataka, it became furious and started stomping around in an attempt to get the statue off of itself. Eventually, Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} were able to remove the statue, causing Stakataka to calm down. Ash also managed to convince Stakataka to let him catch it so that they could return it home. Thus, as the evening rolled around, Stakataka was returned to its home dimension at the Pokémon School.

In [[SM087]], mysterious dark clouds appeared over the Alola region, causing all of the adults in Alola to lose their energy and motivation. The next day, the Ultra Guardians embarked on their fifth mission to investigate the situation at the [[Altar of the Sunne]]. Shortly after arriving, Lusamine revealed that {{an|Gladion}} would be joining them as a new member. In order to disperse the clouds, Ash, Kiawe, Lana, and Gladion combined their Z-Power to fuel a device that successfully made the clouds disappear, but they uncovered a hidden Ultra Wormhole in the process. Afterwards, Lusamine took the Ultra Guardians into the ruins, where she showed them a mural depicting the {{p|Necrozma|Blinding One}}. Before any attempt to translate the mural could be done, the Ultra Guardians were forced to return outside, where they found the wormhole increasing in size. At that moment, a {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Lunala}} emerged from the wormhole with a {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Necrozma}} (whose species could not be identified and was called UB:BLACK for the time being) chasing after it.

The mission continued in [[SM088]], where, despite their best efforts, Necrozma merged with Lunala and became {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dawn Wings Necrozma}}. [[Nebby]] attacked Dawn Wings Necrozma using Sunsteel Strike, which freed Lunala from Necrozma's control. However, Necrozma then merged with Nebby, subsequently becoming Dusk Mane Necrozma. Necrozma disappeared through an Ultra Wormhole immediately afterwards, leaving Lunala injured. The Ultra Guardians took Lunala back to the Pokémon School to recover. They managed to succeed in this endeavor with the help of [[Z-Move|Z-Power]] of their [[Z-Ring]]s.

After it was dug up, Celesteela was discovered by Lusamine's group, who told the Ultra Guardians to go out and catch it. Their attempts to catch it failed, as Celesteela was too deeply rooted to the ground at the time. When they discovered that Celesteela was preparing to take off, the Ultra Guardians realized that the flames produced when it flies would set the surrounding area ablaze. Using their Ride Pokémon, the Ultra Guardians were able to construct a defensive barrier, allowing Celesteela to safely blast off and return back to its home.

==Trivia==
* The Ultra Guardians uniform is a modified version of the [[Poké Ride|Riding Wear]].
* The Ultra Guardians share similarities with International Rescue from the 1960s TV series ''{{wp|Thunderbirds (TV series)|Thunderbirds}}'' in the sense that they suit up and launch. The scene of {{alo|Exeggutor}} moving their heads is also a reference to that series. Their use of "Ultroger" can be a reference to Thunderbirds saying "F.A.B."
* {{an|Gladion}}'s uniform being a different design may be a reference to the long-running ''{{wp|Super Sentai}}''/''{{wp|Power Rangers}}'' series. Many ''Super Sentai''/''Power Rangers'' seasons typically have the main characters joined by a "Sixth Ranger" midway into the series. Sixth Rangers typically have their costume differ in design from the core team to make them more distinct.

(Japanese: '''ブルガン''' ''Bourgain'') is a recurring character who first appeared in [[SM070]]. He is the president of the (Japanese: '''レインボーハッピーリゾートカンパニー''' ''Rainbow Happy Resort Company'') and the leader of the [[Revengers]].

He arrived at [[Paniola Ranch]], keen to buy it and turn it into a resort hotel. After {{an|Kiawe}} and his family declined, he began to harass them, which infuriated Kiawe. As a result, Kiawe challenged him to a battle, where Kiawe's unsuccessful attempt at using a [[Z-Move]] with {{TP|Kiawe|Marowak}} gave Bourgain the win.

Bourgain returned the next day and had a rematch against Kiawe, but was defeated. Despite this, diggers approached the farm for an excavation and was ready to destroy it, only for [[Sima]], [[Mimo]], and Rango to stand their ground. Unfortunately for him, [[Officer Jenny]] arrived with a warrant for his arrest, the charges against him being forging land ownership documents, trespassing, and malicious destruction to property (both legal and private). She then arrested him and [[Bourgain's underlings|his underlings]].

He appeared again in [[SM081]], where he tried to buy out the [[Battle Royal Dome]] using the Revengers. When the Revengers were defeated by {{Ash}} and the [[Professor Kukui|Masked Royal]], he attempted to challenge the masked fighters himself with his {{p|Pangoro}}, but {{p|Incineroar}} and {{AP|Torracat}} swiftly sent Pangoro flying out of the ring and into its Trainer, knocking them both out.

He will appear again in [[SM085]].

'''Ash's Lapras''' (Japanese: '''サトシのラプラス''' ''Satoshi's Laplace'') was the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} obtained by [[Ash Ketchum]] in the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]], and his twelfth overall. It had been separated from its family, so Ash promised to reunite them. It served as the main transportation through the islands until its family was found on the way back to [[Pallet Town]].

==History==
===Orange Islands===
[[File:Ash Lapras young.png|thumb|left|215px|Lapras while still a child]]
Ash first met Lapras on [[Tangelo Island]] when he and {{ashfr}} saw it being abused by [[Three punks|three boys]] who were trying to get it ready to fight the [[Orange Crew]]. {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Thunder Shock}} was able to send the trio running. {{Tracey}} examined Lapras and realized it needed help. He gave Ash medicine to give it while he went to tell [[Nurse Joy]]. However, Lapras refused to take the medicine from Ash. They then took it to the [[Pokémon Center]], where Nurse Joy explained that Lapras was afraid of [[human]]s. Soon, Ash gained Lapras's trust after he saved it from {{TRT}}. Later during that episode, Lapras decided to become a part of Ash's [[party|team]].

Lapras was used extensively as a means of transportation. Ash, {{an|Misty}}, and Tracey rode on its back as it carried them through the seas from one [[Orange Archipelago|Orange island to another]].
[[File:Ash and Lapras.png|thumb|left|215px|Lapras and Ash]]
Ash won a race against [[Cissy]] riding on Lapras in ''[[EP085|Fit to be Tide]]'' against Cissy and her {{p|Blastoise}}, gaining his first Orange League [[Badge]] in the process.

He later used it against [[Danny]] in ''[[EP093|Navel Maneuvers]]'' when competing for his second Badge. Lapras had to use Ice Beam to freeze a geyser, but it lost to Danny's {{p|Nidoqueen}}.

Lapras was also used against a {{p|Gengar}} in the final battle against {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}} in the Orange League. The cliffhanger of ''[[EP111|Hello, Pummelo!]]'' was the collision of attacks between the two. ''[[EP112|Enter the Dragonite]]'' began with the revelation that the collision had knocked out both Pokémon.
[[File:Lapras aging.png|250px|thumb|Comparison between Ash's Lapras's younger and older appearances]]
In ''[[EP113|Viva Las Lapras]]'', Ash and {{ashfr}} found the school that Lapras got separated from. However, its school wanted nothing to do with Lapras, as it was accompanied by humans. They gained a hatred towards humans because of [[Captain Crook]], who hunted the Lapras. After Ash and his Lapras defeated the large school of {{p|Tentacruel}} belonging to the captain, the Lapras began to trust humans, and Ash's Lapras was able to rejoin the school, as well as its mother. Ash and Lapras went separate ways from that point on.

===Johto===
Ash was briefly reunited with Lapras in the episode ''[[EP257|Lapras of Luxury]]'', during which it was revealed to have matured into an adult. It eventually became the leader of its herd when the original leader stepped down in favor of Ash's Lapras, after witnessing it rescuing the herd from Team Rocket. It has never been seen since then. It also reappeared in a flashback in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]''.

==Personality and characteristics==
Lapras became afraid of humans at first when the three punks started to abuse it. Even with Ash winning against the three punks, Lapras was still afraid. When Team Rocket came by to steal the Lapras, Ash stopped them from doing so, and Lapras became more trusting towards humans. Since Lapras was with Ash during the whole trip on the Orange Islands, it became sad when it returned to the herd, as seen when it didn't want to leave Ash.

When Lapras later appeared in [[Johto]], it was shown to have grown more mature, eventually even taking the leadership of its herd after helping to defeat Team Rocket and save the other Lapras they had stolen.

Ash's Lapras

'''Ash's Lapras''' (Japanese: '''サトシのラプラス''' ''Satoshi's Laplace'') was the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} obtained by [[Ash Ketchum]] in the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]], and his twelfth overall. It had been separated from its family, so Ash promised to reunite them. It served as the main transportation through the islands until its family was found on the way back to [[Pallet Town]].

==History==
===Orange Islands===
[[File:Ash Lapras young.png|thumb|left|215px|Lapras while still a child]]
Ash first met Lapras on [[Tangelo Island]] when he and {{ashfr}} saw it being abused by [[Three punks|three boys]] who were trying to get it ready to fight the [[Orange Crew]]. {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Thunder Shock}} was able to send the trio running. {{Tracey}} examined Lapras and realized it needed help. He gave Ash medicine to give it while he went to tell [[Nurse Joy]]. However, Lapras refused to take the medicine from Ash. They then took it to the [[Pokémon Center]], where Nurse Joy explained that Lapras was afraid of [[human]]s. Soon, Ash gained Lapras's trust after he saved it from {{TRT}}. Later during that episode, Lapras decided to become a part of Ash's [[party|team]].

Lapras was used extensively as a means of transportation. Ash, {{an|Misty}}, and Tracey rode on its back as it carried them through the seas from one [[Orange Archipelago|Orange island to another]].
[[File:Ash and Lapras.png|thumb|left|215px|Lapras and Ash]]
Ash won a race against [[Cissy]] riding on Lapras in ''[[EP085|Fit to be Tide]]'' against Cissy and her {{p|Blastoise}}, gaining his first Orange League [[Badge]] in the process.

He later used it against [[Danny]] in ''[[EP093|Navel Maneuvers]]'' when competing for his second Badge. Lapras had to use Ice Beam to freeze a geyser, but it lost to Danny's {{p|Nidoqueen}}.

Lapras was also used against a {{p|Gengar}} in the final battle against {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}} in the Orange League. The cliffhanger of ''[[EP111|Hello, Pummelo!]]'' was the collision of attacks between the two. ''[[EP112|Enter the Dragonite]]'' began with the revelation that the collision had knocked out both Pokémon.
[[File:Lapras aging.png|250px|thumb|Comparison between Ash's Lapras's younger and older appearances]]
In ''[[EP113|Viva Las Lapras]]'', Ash and {{ashfr}} found the school that Lapras got separated from. However, its school wanted nothing to do with Lapras, as it was accompanied by humans. They gained a hatred towards humans because of [[Captain Crook]], who hunted the Lapras. After Ash and his Lapras defeated the large school of {{p|Tentacruel}} belonging to the captain, the Lapras began to trust humans, and Ash's Lapras was able to rejoin the school, as well as its mother. Ash and Lapras went separate ways from that point on.

===Johto===
Ash was briefly reunited with Lapras in the episode ''[[EP257|Lapras of Luxury]]'', during which it was revealed to have matured into an adult. It eventually became the leader of its herd when the original leader stepped down in favor of Ash's Lapras, after witnessing it rescuing the herd from Team Rocket. It has never been seen since then. It also reappeared in a flashback in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]''.

'''Ash's Torracat''' (Japanese: '''サトシのニャヒート''' ''Satoshi's Nyaheat'') is the third {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Alola]] [[region]], and his forty-ninth overall.

==History==
===As a wild Pokémon===
Few details are known about Litten's past, except that it endured hardships that have brought those who can understand Litten—such as {{TR|Meowth}} and [[Olivia]]—to tears. Litten was rescued at some point by an aging {{pkmn2|wild}} {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Stoutland}}, and the two began to live together. However, the Stoutland soon became too old to search for food by itself, leaving Litten to do the gathering.
[[File:Stoutland and Litten.png|thumb|left|250px|As a Litten with Stoutland]]
Litten first appeared in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'', relaxing on the beaches of [[Melemele Island]] before it was accidentally stepped on by {{Ash}} when he was racing with {{AP|Pikachu}}. Litten, in anger, attacked Ash with {{m|Ember}} and walked off.
Litten briefly appeared in ''[[SM003|Loading the Dex!]]'' in which it approached the [[Pokémon School]] and watched {{DL|Samson Oak|Komala}}. Litten was later seen in ''[[SM004|First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-Style!]]'', being fed by an {{OBP|Old lady|Alola}} in a marketplace on the beach, where it saw a wild {{AP|Rowlet}} carrying off a wind chime.

In ''[[SM007|That's Why the Litten is a Scamp!]]'', Litten approached Ash and Pikachu in an attempt to get something to eat. When Ash offered it a piece of the sandwich, it stole the larger portion and ran off, only to be stopped and foiled by an {{alo|Persian}}. Annoyed by Litten's trickery, Ash promised to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it. The next day, Ash and Pikachu saw Litten being attacked by the previous Alolan Persian and stopped it. Litten, despite being on the verge of collapse, protested against being brought to the [[Pokémon Center]], biting and scratching Ash all the way there. After being treated, Ash brought it to [[Professor Kukui]]'s house, but it managed to escape in the middle of the night. Ash, Pikachu, and [[Rotom Pokédex|Rotom]] followed Litten to an abandoned house, where they discovered that Litten had been gathering food for an old Stoutland. Having learned this, Ash decided to give up on capturing Litten, leaving it to care for its caretaker. Suddenly, the group was attacked by the Alolan Persian from earlier. Ash had everyone leave the house, where Pikachu and Litten then started battling the Persian. Litten eventually defeated Persian, and successfully protected Stoutland. The next day, Ash discovered that Litten and Stoutland had relocated. After being assured by the old lady of the marketplace that Litten was doing fine, Litten appeared from behind her to grab the fruit she had prepared and ran off into the distance.

[[File:Ash Litten.png|thumb|250px|As Litten]]
Litten reappeared in ''[[SM016|They Might Not Be Giants!]]'' when Ash's Rowlet and [[Lana's Popplio]] got separated from their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and fought {{MTR}} off when he tried to catch them. It took them to Stoutland, who told Litten to go and help Rowlet and Popplio get back to their Trainers. During their search, the trio got caught by {{TRT}}. However, they managed to escape thanks to Litten and blasted Team Rocket off with their combined attacks. After Rowlet and Popplio were reunited with their Trainers, Litten ran off again.

In ''[[SM021|One Journey Ends, Another Begins...]]'', Litten stole a doughnut Ash dropped and was chased back to its home by him. Ash witnessed how Stoutland helped it learn {{m|Fire Fang}}, but Litten was unsuccessful to master the move. Later on, Litten ran up to Ash, desperate for help with a collapsed Stoutland. After escaping Team Rocket, Ash was brought to its home and carried Stoutland to the Pokémon Center. Litten ran into the emergency room to be its friend while [[Nurse Joy]] informed Ash of Stoutland's condition. When Ash returned to the center the next day to check on Litten and Stoutland, he was shocked to see they had left. At its home, Litten practiced its Fire Fang again, but failed once more. Displeased with having the same results as its previous attempt, Litten curled up into Stoutland and fell asleep, proceeding to have a dream where it chased after Stoutland and was unable to catch up. Litten soon woke up alone and immediately flew into panic again, searching over various parts of Melemele Island for Stoutland.

Upon returning home, one of the supports of the sofa the two Pokémon had been sleeping on broke as a tree shed its last leaf and a massive storm whipped up over Melemele. Wracked with grief, Litten looked up to the sky and started yowling. Ash and his Pokémon later found Litten asleep on the sofa, curled up next to the tree's leaf, and kept visiting it to comfort the Fire Cat Pokémon. While the others were still sleeping next to the sofa, Litten woke up as the rain stopped saw a cloud formation shaped like Stoutland behind a rainbow, seemingly smiling in approval. Gathered with resolve, Litten offered Ash a [[Sitrus Berry]]. Afterwards, Litten agreed to battle Ash and Pikachu, and was able to successfully execute Fire Fang. After the battle, Litten allowed Ash to catch it, the Trainer having finally gained its trust. When sent out again, Litten happily joined in with the rest of Ash's Pokémon when he poured out the rest of the berries in his shopping bag.

===With Ash===
[[File:Ash and Torracat.png|thumb|250px|Torracat and Ash]]
In ''[[SM022|A Shivering Shovel Search!]]'', Litten was seen training with [[Kiawe's Turtonator]] to master Fire Fang, but was still unsuccessful to master the move. Later, when Ash was stuck inside of an enraged {{p|Palossand}}'s body, Litten got caught in its body as well when protecting {{AP|Rockruff}}. Palossand then began absorbing Litten's life force, causing it to be unable to leave Palossand's body. Thanks to everyone's combined effort, [[Snowy]] was able to {{status|freeze}} Palossand with {{m|Powder Snow}}, stopping it from absorbing life force. Litten then managed to master Fire Fang and used it to break free from Palossand's body. Afterwards, Litten and Ash returned Palossand's lost shovel, calming the Sand Castle Pokémon down.

In ''[[SM024|Alolan Open House!]]'', {{Delia}} visited her son and took a liking to Litten and gave it the nickname '''Litty''' (Japanese: '''ニャビーちゃん''' ''Nyabby-chan''). At first, her sudden approach made Litten freak out, but once she started petting it, Litten got more comfortable. Delia later used Litten in a battle against [[Tupp]], [[Zipp]], and [[Rapp]] of [[Team Skull]], who were attacking the Pokémon School.

In ''[[SM035|Currying Favor and Flavor!]]'', Litten assisted Ash in clearing the [[island challenge|trial]] in [[Lush Jungle]], where it battled a {{pkmn2|Totem}} {{p|Lurantis}}. It initially had the upper hand, until Lurantis called its ally {{p|Castform}}, who created [[harsh sunlight]] using {{m|Sunny Day}}. As Litten struggled with Lurantis's now immediate {{m|Solar Blade}}s and Castfrom's {{m|Water Gun}}s, Ash sent out Rowlet to assist it. With the help of Rowlet, Litten was able to fight on equal ground against its opponents. After a hard fought battle, Rowlet managed to defeat Castform, allowing Litten to use {{m|Breakneck Blitz}} to knock Lurantis out as well. Having cleared the trial, Ash was rewarded a [[Grassium Z]].

In [[SM063]], while Ash was watching a [[Battle Royal]] on TV, Litten became agitated when it saw the [[Professor Kukui|Masked Royal]]'s {{p|Incineroar}}. When Ash and {{ashcl}} later went to visit the [[Battle Royal Dome]] during a special event where anyone could volunteer to face the Masked Royal in a Battle Royal, Litten jumped down from the stands to the arena, prompting Ash to take part in the Battle Royal, joined by {{an|Kiawe}} and {{an|Sophocles}}. Although [[Kiawe's Marowak]] and [[Sophocles's Charjabug]] were soon defeated by Incineroar's {{m|Darkest Lariat}}, Litten managed to survive the attack. However, Litten's counterattack with Fire Fang was stopped cold by Incineroar, who then proceeded to defeat Litten with a {{m|Bulk Up}}-enhanced {{m|Throat Chop}}. This defeat later inspired Ash to teach Litten {{m|Flame Charge}}. Some days later, in the middle of Litten's training, the Masked Royal showed up and challenged Ash to a one-on-one battle. Litten, still not having completely mastered Flame Charge, was struggling throughout the battle. However, thanks to Ash's determination, Litten was able to evolve into a {{p|Torracat}}, perfecting Flame Charge in the process. Although the evolution and the {{stat|Speed}} increase from Flame Charge gave Torracat more edge in the battle, to the point where it even managed to damage Incineroar a bit, it was still eventually defeated by its evolved form. Afterwards, the Masked Royal declared that he and Incineroar were now Torracat's rivals.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Litten fiery disposition.png|thumb|left|250px|Showing off its fiery disposition as a Litten]]
Before being {{pkmn2|caught}} by Ash, Litten was a stubborn Pokémon that tended to keep its emotions and motives hidden. Its closest friend was an old {{p|Stoutland}} that once helped it when it had lost consciousness. Litten was seen training itself with Stoutland's guidance, and protected and cared for Stoutland in its ailing state. Litten had a very close relationship with Stoutland, and deeply cared for it, as evidenced by Litten's dreams about it. Litten had difficulty getting close to humans, but seemed to get along well with the {{OBP|Old lady|Alola}} of the marketplace. When Litten was wild, it would often visit her when it needed food.

Its first encounter with Ash did not go over so well. When he accidentally stepped on Litten's tail while running along the beach, it responded by burning his face with {{m|Ember}}. Encounters with Litten after that were unpleasant for Ash as well, as Litten had a tendency to attack him or steal his food, showing off cunning and slick characteristics to its enigmatic personality. When Stoutland thought it would be a good idea for Litten to join Ash, Litten wasn't keen on the idea. When Stoutland collapsed due to ill health, Litten's demeanor toward Ash began to change, and it was desperate for him to help it. After Litten accepted Stoutland's absence, it began trying to offer its food to Ash like it had done with Stoutland. Despite their growing relationship and mutual trust, Litten still shows a tendency to burn Ash in the face even after befriending him; though now it seems to be done mostly as a sign of affection toward him, much like {{AP|Charizard}} before it.

Since its capture, it has shown to be reflecting its solicitous nature over Stoutland on its new teammates. This was showcased in ''[[SM022|A Shivering Shovel Search!]]'', when it protected {{AP|Rockruff}} from being eaten by an angry {{p|Palossand}} and has even shown to be fine with Rockruff sleeping next to itself, despite putting the fact that it did not want to play with it earlier. This shows Litten is willing to open up to its new family despite its innately frisky nature. Litten is cold and apathetic towards strangers, as shown in ''[[SM024|Alolan Open House!]]'' when it was introduced to its Trainer's {{Delia|mother}}, but can't resist being stroked gently under its chin.

Since its capture, Litten has grown close to its Trainer and helps fellow Pokémon as shown in ''[[SM030|The Ol' Raise and Switch!]]'', where it helped [[Snowy]] warm up towards Ash and even offered Snowy a [[Sitrus Berry]]. Despite growing to care for others more, it is still shown to become a bit aggressive, as shown in ''[[SM028|Pulling Out the Pokémon Base Pepper!]]'', where it got angry towards a nearby baseball and in ''[[SM045|Now You See Them, Now You Don't!]]'', where it got annoyed at Ash's Lycanroc. In ''[[SM048|Night of a Thousand Poses!]]'' and ''[[SM049|Mission: Total Recall!]]'', it is shown that Litten will spar with Lycanroc on occasion, even when it is separated from its Trainer.

Litten is also shown to have a strong sense of smell. In [[SM063]], after sniffing the Masked Royal, it immediately recognized him as Professor Kukui.

'''Ash's Torracat''' (Japanese: '''サトシのニャヒート''' ''Satoshi's Nyaheat'') is the third {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Alola]] [[region]], and his forty-ninth overall.

After being assured by the old lady of the marketplace that Litten was doing fine, Litten appeared from behind her to grab the fruit she had prepared and ran off into the distance.

[[File:Ash Litten.png|thumb|250px|As Litten]]
Litten reappeared in ''[[SM016|They Might Not Be Giants!]]'' when Ash's Rowlet and [[Lana's Popplio]] got separated from their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and fought {{MTR}} off when he tried to catch them. It took them to Stoutland, who told Litten to go and help Rowlet and Popplio get back to their Trainers. During their search, the trio got caught by {{TRT}}. However, they managed to escape thanks to Litten and blasted Team Rocket off with their combined attacks. After Rowlet and Popplio were reunited with their Trainers, Litten ran off again.

In ''[[SM021|One Journey Ends, Another Begins...]]'', Litten stole a doughnut Ash dropped and was chased back to its home by him. Ash witnessed how Stoutland helped it learn {{m|Fire Fang}}, but Litten was unsuccessful to master the move. Later on, Litten ran up to Ash, desperate for help with a collapsed Stoutland. After escaping Team Rocket, Ash was brought to its home and carried Stoutland to the Pokémon Center. Litten ran into the emergency room to be its friend while [[Nurse Joy]] informed Ash of Stoutland's condition. When Ash returned to the center the next day to check on Litten and Stoutland, he was shocked to see they had left. At its home, Litten practiced its Fire Fang again, but failed once more. Displeased with having the same results as its previous attempt, Litten curled up into Stoutland and fell asleep, proceeding to have a dream where it chased after Stoutland and was unable to catch up. Litten soon woke up alone and immediately flew into panic again, searching over various parts of Melemele Island for Stoutland.

Upon returning home, one of the supports of the sofa the two Pokémon had been sleeping on broke as a tree shed its last leaf and a massive storm whipped up over Melemele. Wracked with grief, Litten looked up to the sky and started yowling. Ash and his Pokémon later found Litten asleep on the sofa, curled up next to the tree's leaf, and kept visiting it to comfort the Fire Cat Pokémon. While the others were still sleeping next to the sofa, Litten woke up as the rain stopped saw a cloud formation shaped like Stoutland behind a rainbow, seemingly smiling in approval. Gathered with resolve, Litten offered Ash a [[Sitrus Berry]]. Afterwards, Litten agreed to battle Ash and Pikachu, and was able to successfully execute Fire Fang. After the battle, Litten allowed Ash to catch it, the Trainer having finally gained its trust. When sent out again, Litten happily joined in with the rest of Ash's Pokémon when he poured out the rest of the berries in his shopping bag.

===With Ash===
[[File:Ash and Litten.png|thumb|250px|As a Litten with Ash]]
In ''[[SM022|A Shivering Shovel Search!]]'', Litten was seen training with [[Kiawe's Turtonator]] to master Fire Fang, but was still unsuccessful to master the move. Later, when Ash was stuck inside of an enraged {{p|Palossand}}'s body, Litten got caught in its body as well when protecting {{AP|Rockruff}}. Palossand then began absorbing Litten's life force, causing it to be unable to leave Palossand's body. Thanks to everyone's combined effort, [[Snowy]] was able to {{status|freeze}} Palossand with {{m|Powder Snow}}, stopping it from absorbing life force. Litten then managed to master Fire Fang and used it to break free from Palossand's body. Afterwards, Litten and Ash returned Palossand's lost shovel, calming the Sand Castle Pokémon down.

In ''[[SM024|Alolan Open House!]]'', {{Delia}} visited her son and took a liking to Litten and gave it the nickname '''Litty''' (Japanese: '''ニャビーちゃん''' ''Nyabby-chan''). At first, her sudden approach made Litten freak out, but once she started petting it, Litten got more comfortable. Delia later used Litten in a battle against [[Tupp]], [[Zipp]], and [[Rapp]] of [[Team Skull]], who were attacking the Pokémon School.

In ''[[SM035|Currying Favor and Flavor!]]'', Litten assisted Ash in clearing the [[island challenge|trial]] in [[Lush Jungle]], where it battled a {{pkmn2|Totem}} {{p|Lurantis}}. It initially had the upper hand, until Lurantis called its ally {{p|Castform}}, who created [[harsh sunlight]] using {{m|Sunny Day}}. As Litten struggled with Lurantis's now immediate {{m|Solar Blade}}s and Castfrom's {{m|Water Gun}}s, Ash sent out Rowlet to assist it. With the help of Rowlet, Litten was able to fight on equal ground against its opponents. After a hard fought battle, Rowlet managed to defeat Castform, allowing Litten to use {{m|Breakneck Blitz}} to knock Lurantis out as well. Having cleared the trial, Ash was rewarded a [[Grassium Z]].

In [[SM063]], while Ash was watching a [[Battle Royal]] on TV, Litten became agitated when it saw the [[Professor Kukui|Masked Royal]]'s {{p|Incineroar}}. When Ash and {{ashcl}} later went to visit the [[Battle Royal Dome]] during a special event where anyone could volunteer to face the Masked Royal in a Battle Royal, Litten jumped down from the stands to the arena, prompting Ash to take part in the Battle Royal, joined by {{an|Kiawe}} and {{an|Sophocles}}. Although [[Kiawe's Marowak]] and [[Sophocles's Charjabug]] were soon defeated by Incineroar's {{m|Darkest Lariat}}, Litten managed to survive the attack. However, Litten's counterattack with Fire Fang was stopped cold by Incineroar, who then proceeded to defeat Litten with a {{m|Bulk Up}}-enhanced {{m|Throat Chop}}. This defeat later inspired Ash to teach Litten {{m|Flame Charge}}. Some days later, in the middle of Litten's training, the Masked Royal showed up and challenged Ash to a one-on-one battle. Litten, still not having completely mastered Flame Charge, was struggling throughout the battle. However, thanks to Ash's determination, Litten was able to evolve into a {{p|Torracat}}, perfecting Flame Charge in the process. Although the evolution and the {{stat|Speed}} increase from Flame Charge gave Torracat more edge in the battle, to the point where it even managed to damage Incineroar a bit, it was still eventually defeated by its evolved form. Afterwards, the Masked Royal declared that he and Incineroar were now Torracat's rivals.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Litten fiery disposition.png|thumb|left|250px|Showing off its fiery disposition as a Litten]]
Before being {{pkmn2|caught}} by Ash, Litten was a stubborn Pokémon that tended to keep its emotions and motives hidden. Its closest friend was an old {{p|Stoutland}} that once helped it when it had lost consciousness. Litten was seen training itself with Stoutland's guidance, and protected and cared for Stoutland in its ailing state. Litten had a very close relationship with Stoutland, and deeply cared for it, as evidenced by Litten's dreams about it. Litten had difficulty getting close to humans, but seemed to get along well with the {{OBP|Old lady|Alola}} of the marketplace. When Litten was wild, it would often visit her when it needed food.

Its first encounter with Ash did not go over so well. When he accidentally stepped on Litten's tail while running along the beach, it responded by burning his face with {{m|Ember}}. Encounters with Litten after that were unpleasant for Ash as well, as Litten had a tendency to attack him or steal his food, showing off cunning and slick characteristics to its enigmatic personality. When Stoutland thought it would be a good idea for Litten to join Ash, Litten wasn't keen on the idea. When Stoutland collapsed due to ill health, Litten's demeanor toward Ash began to change, and it was desperate for him to help it. After Litten accepted Stoutland's absence, it began trying to offer its food to Ash like it had done with Stoutland. Despite their growing relationship and mutual trust, Litten still shows a tendency to burn Ash in the face even after befriending him; though now it seems to be done mostly as a sign of affection toward him, much like {{AP|Charizard}} before it.

Since its capture, it has shown to be reflecting its solicitous nature over Stoutland on its new teammates. This was showcased in ''[[SM022|A Shivering Shovel Search!]]'', when it protected {{AP|Rockruff}} from being eaten by an angry {{p|Palossand}} and has even shown to be fine with Rockruff sleeping next to itself, despite putting the fact that it did not want to play with it earlier. This shows Litten is willing to open up to its new family despite its innately frisky nature. Litten is cold and apathetic towards strangers, as shown in ''[[SM024|Alolan Open House!]]'' when it was introduced to its Trainer's {{Delia|mother}}, but can't resist being stroked gently under its chin.

Since its capture, Litten has grown close to its Trainer and helps fellow Pokémon as shown in ''[[SM030|The Ol' Raise and Switch!]]'', where it helped [[Snowy]] warm up towards Ash and even offered Snowy a [[Sitrus Berry]]. Despite growing to care for others more, it is still shown to become a bit aggressive, as shown in ''[[SM028|Pulling Out the Pokémon Base Pepper!]]'', where it got angry towards a nearby baseball and in [[SM045]], where it got annoyed at Ash's Lycanroc. In [[SM048]] and [[SM049]], it is shown that Litten will spar with Lycanroc on occasion, even when it is separated from its Trainer.

Litten is also shown to have a strong sense of smell. In [[SM063]], after sniffing the Masked Royal, it immediately recognized him as Professor Kukui.

'''Ash's Torracat''' (Japanese: '''サトシのニャヒート''' ''Satoshi's Nyaheat'') is the third {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Alola]] [[region]], and his forty-ninth overall.

==History==
===As a wild Pokémon===
Few details are known about Litten's past, except that it endured hardships that have brought those who can understand Litten—such as {{TR|Meowth}} and [[Olivia]]—to tears. Litten was rescued at some point by an aging {{pkmn2|wild}} {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Stoutland}}, and the two began to live together. However, the Stoutland soon became too old to search for food by itself, leaving Litten to do the gathering.
[[File:Stoutland and Litten.png|thumb|left|250px|As a Litten with Stoutland]]
Litten first appeared in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'', relaxing on the beaches of [[Melemele Island]] before it was accidentally stepped on by {{Ash}} when he was racing with {{AP|Pikachu}}. Litten, in anger, attacked Ash with {{m|Ember}} and walked off.
Litten briefly appeared in ''[[SM003|Loading the Dex!]]'' in which it approached the [[Pokémon School]] and watched {{DL|Samson Oak|Komala}}. Litten was later seen in ''[[SM004|First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-Style!]]'', being fed by an {{OBP|Old lady|Alola}} in a marketplace on the beach, where it saw a wild {{AP|Rowlet}} carrying off a wind chime.

In ''[[SM007|That's Why the Litten is a Scamp!]]'', Litten approached Ash and Pikachu in an attempt to get something to eat. When Ash offered it a piece of the sandwich, it stole the larger portion and ran off, only to be stopped and foiled by an {{alo|Persian}}. Annoyed by Litten's trickery, Ash promised to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it. The next day, Ash and Pikachu saw Litten being attacked by the previous Alolan Persian and stopped it. Litten, despite being on the verge of collapse, protested against being brought to the [[Pokémon Center]], biting and scratching Ash all the way there. After being treated, Ash brought it to [[Professor Kukui]]'s house, but it managed to escape in the middle of the night. Ash, Pikachu, and [[Rotom Pokédex|Rotom]] followed Litten to an abandoned house, where they discovered that Litten had been gathering food for an old Stoutland. Having learned this, Ash decided to give up on capturing Litten, leaving it to care for its caretaker. Suddenly, the group was attacked by the Alolan Persian from earlier. Ash had everyone leave the house, where Pikachu and Litten then started battling the Persian. Litten eventually defeated Persian, and successfully protected Stoutland. The next day, Ash discovered that Litten and Stoutland had relocated. After being assured by the old lady of the marketplace that Litten was doing fine, Litten appeared from behind her to grab the fruit she had prepared and ran off into the distance.

[[File:Ash Litten.png|thumb|250px|As Litten]]
Litten reappeared in ''[[SM016|They Might Not Be Giants!]]'' when Ash's Rowlet and [[Lana's Popplio]] got separated from their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and fought {{MTR}} off when he tried to catch them. It took them to Stoutland, who told Litten to go and help Rowlet and Popplio get back to their Trainers. During their search, the trio got caught by {{TRT}}. However, they managed to escape thanks to Litten and blasted Team Rocket off with their combined attacks. After Rowlet and Popplio were reunited with their Trainers, Litten ran off again.

In ''[[SM021|One Journey Ends, Another Begins...]]'', Litten stole a doughnut Ash dropped and was chased back to its home by him. Ash witnessed how Stoutland helped it learn {{m|Fire Fang}}, but Litten was unsuccessful to master the move. Later on, Litten ran up to Ash, desperate for help with a collapsed Stoutland. After escaping Team Rocket, Ash was brought to its home and carried Stoutland to the Pokémon Center. Litten ran into the emergency room to be its friend while [[Nurse Joy]] informed Ash of Stoutland's condition. When Ash returned to the center the next day to check on Litten and Stoutland, he was shocked to see they had left. At its home, Litten practiced its Fire Fang again, but failed once more. Displeased with having the same results as its previous attempt, Litten curled up into Stoutland and fell asleep, proceeding to have a dream where it chased after Stoutland and was unable to catch up. Litten soon woke up alone and immediately flew into panic again, searching over various parts of Melemele Island for Stoutland.

Upon returning home, one of the supports of the sofa the two Pokémon had been sleeping on broke as a tree shed its last leaf and a massive storm whipped up over Melemele. Wracked with grief, Litten looked up to the sky and started yowling. Ash and his Pokémon later found Litten asleep on the sofa, curled up next to the tree's leaf, and kept visiting it to comfort the Fire Cat Pokémon. While the others were still sleeping next to the sofa, Litten woke up as the rain stopped saw a cloud formation shaped like Stoutland behind a rainbow, seemingly smiling in approval. Gathered with resolve, Litten offered Ash a [[Sitrus Berry]]. Afterwards, Litten agreed to battle Ash and Pikachu, and was able to successfully execute Fire Fang. After the battle, Litten allowed Ash to catch it, the Trainer having finally gained its trust. When sent out again, Litten happily joined in with the rest of Ash's Pokémon when he poured out the rest of the berries in his shopping bag.

===With Ash===
[[File:Ash and Litten.png|thumb|250px|As a Litten with Ash]]
In ''[[SM022|A Shivering Shovel Search!]]'', Litten was seen training with [[Kiawe's Turtonator]] to master Fire Fang, but was still unsuccessful to master the move. Later, when Ash was stuck inside of an enraged {{p|Palossand}}'s body, Litten got caught in its body as well when protecting {{AP|Rockruff}}. Palossand then began absorbing Litten's life force, causing it to be unable to leave Palossand's body. Thanks to everyone's combined effort, [[Snowy]] was able to {{status|freeze}} Palossand with {{m|Powder Snow}}, stopping it from absorbing life force. Litten then managed to master Fire Fang and used it to break free from Palossand's body. Afterwards, Litten and Ash returned Palossand's lost shovel, calming the Sand Castle Pokémon down.

In ''[[SM024|Alolan Open House!]]'', {{Delia}} visited her son and took a liking to Litten and gave it the nickname '''Litty''' (Japanese: '''ニャビーちゃん''' ''Nyabby-chan''). At first, her sudden approach made Litten freak out, but once she started petting it, Litten got more comfortable. Delia later used Litten in a battle against [[Tupp]], [[Zipp]], and [[Rapp]] of [[Team Skull]], who were attacking the Pokémon School.

When Ash and {{ashcl}} later went to visit the [[Battle Royal Dome]] during a special event where anyone could volunteer to face the Masked Royal in a Battle Royal, Litten jumped down from the stands to the arena, prompting Ash to take part in the Battle Royal, joined by {{an|Kiawe}} and {{an|Sophocles}}. Although [[Kiawe's Marowak]] and [[Sophocles's Charjabug]] were soon defeated by Incineroar's {{m|Darkest Lariat}}, Litten managed to survive the attack. However, Litten's counterattack with Fire Fang was stopped cold by Incineroar, who then proceeded to defeat Litten with a {{m|Bulk Up}}-enhanced {{m|Throat Chop}}. This defeat later inspired Ash to teach Litten {{m|Flame Charge}}. Some days later, in the middle of Litten's training, the Masked Royal showed up and challenged Ash to a one-on-one battle.

[[File:Stoutland and Litten.png|thumb|left|250px|As a Litten with Stoutland]]
Litten first appeared in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'', relaxing on the beaches of [[Melemele Island]] before it was accidentally stepped on by {{Ash}} when he was racing with {{AP|Pikachu}}. Litten, in anger, attacked Ash with {{m|Ember}} and walked off.
Litten briefly appeared in ''[[SM003|Loading the Dex!]]'' in which it approached the [[Pokémon School]] and watched {{DL|Samson Oak|Komala}}. Litten was later seen in ''[[SM004|First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-Style!]]'', being fed by an {{OBP|Old lady|Alola}} in a marketplace on the beach, where it saw a wild {{AP|Rowlet}} carrying off a wind chime.

In ''[[SM007|That's Why the Litten is a Scamp!]]'', Litten approached Ash and Pikachu in an attempt to get something to eat. When Ash offered it a piece of the sandwich, it stole the larger portion and ran off, only to be stopped and foiled by an {{alo|Persian}}. Annoyed by Litten's trickery, Ash promised to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it. The next day, Ash and Pikachu saw Litten being attacked by the previous Alolan Persian and stopped it. Litten, despite being on the verge of collapse, protested against being brought to the [[Pokémon Center]], biting and scratching Ash all the way there. After being treated, Ash brought it to [[Professor Kukui]]'s house, but it managed to escape in the middle of the night. Ash, Pikachu, and [[Rotom Pokédex|Rotom]] followed Litten to an abandoned house, where they discovered that Litten had been gathering food for an old Stoutland. Having learned this, Ash decided to give up on capturing Litten, leaving it to care for its caretaker. Suddenly, the group was attacked by the Alolan Persian from earlier. Ash had everyone leave the house, where Pikachu and Litten then started battling the Persian. Litten eventually defeated Persian, and successfully protected Stoutland. The next day, Ash discovered that Litten and Stoutland had relocated. After being assured by the old lady of the marketplace that Litten was doing fine, Litten appeared from behind her to grab the fruit she had prepared and ran off into the distance.

[[File:Ash Litten.png|thumb|250px|As Litten]]
Litten reappeared in ''[[SM016|They Might Not Be Giants!]]'' when Ash's Rowlet and [[Lana's Popplio]] got separated from their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and fought {{MTR}} off when he tried to catch them. It took them to Stoutland, who told Litten to go and help Rowlet and Popplio get back to their Trainers. During their search, the trio got caught by {{TRT}}. However, they managed to escape thanks to Litten and blasted Team Rocket off with their combined attacks. After Rowlet and Popplio were reunited with their Trainers, Litten ran off again.

In ''[[SM021|One Journey Ends, Another Begins...]]'', Litten stole a doughnut Ash dropped and was chased back to its home by him. Ash witnessed how Stoutland helped it learn {{m|Fire Fang}}, but Litten was unsuccessful to master the move. Later on, Litten ran up to Ash, desperate for help with a collapsed Stoutland. After escaping Team Rocket, Ash was brought to its home and carried Stoutland to the Pokémon Center. Litten ran into the emergency room to be its friend while [[Nurse Joy]] informed Ash of Stoutland's condition. When Ash returned to the center the next day to check on Litten and Stoutland, he was shocked to see they had left. At its home, Litten practiced its Fire Fang again, but failed once more. Displeased with having the same results as its previous attempt, Litten curled up into Stoutland and fell asleep, proceeding to have a dream where it chased after Stoutland and was unable to catch up. Litten soon woke up alone and immediately flew into panic again, searching over various parts of Melemele Island for Stoutland.

Upon returning home, one of the supports of the sofa the two Pokémon had been sleeping on broke as a tree shed its last leaf and a massive storm whipped up over Melemele. Wracked with grief, Litten looked up to the sky and started yowling. Ash and his Pokémon later found Litten asleep on the sofa, curled up next to the tree's leaf, and kept visiting it to comfort the Fire Cat Pokémon. While the others were still sleeping next to the sofa, Litten woke up as the rain stopped saw a cloud formation shaped like Stoutland behind a rainbow, seemingly smiling in approval. Gathered with resolve, Litten offered Ash a [[Sitrus Berry]]. Afterwards, Litten agreed to battle Ash and Pikachu, and was able to successfully execute Fire Fang. After the battle, Litten allowed Ash to catch it, the Trainer having finally gained its trust. When sent out again, Litten happily joined in with the rest of Ash's Pokémon when he poured out the rest of the berries in his shopping bag.

===With Ash===
[[File:Ash and Litten.png|thumb|250px|As a Litten with Ash]]
In ''[[SM022|A Shivering Shovel Search!]]'', Litten was seen training with [[Kiawe's Turtonator]] to master Fire Fang, but was still unsuccessful to master the move. Later, when Ash was stuck inside of an enraged {{p|Palossand}}'s body, Litten got caught in its body as well when protecting {{AP|Rockruff}}. Palossand then began absorbing Litten's life force, causing it to be unable to leave Palossand's body. Thanks to everyone's combined effort, [[Snowy]] was able to {{status|freeze}} Palossand with {{m|Powder Snow}}, stopping it from absorbing life force. Litten then managed to master Fire Fang and used it to break free from Palossand's body. Afterwards, Litten and Ash returned Palossand's lost shovel, calming the Sand Castle Pokémon down.

In ''[[SM024|Alolan Open House!]]'', {{Delia}} visited her son and took a liking to Litten and gave it the nickname '''Litty''' (Japanese: '''ニャビーちゃん''' ''Nyabby-chan''). At first, her sudden approach made Litten freak out, but once she started petting it, Litten got more comfortable. Delia later used Litten in a battle against [[Tupp]], [[Zipp]], and [[Rapp]] of [[Team Skull]], who were attacking the Pokémon School.

In ''[[SM035|Currying Favor and Flavor!]]'', Litten assisted Ash in clearing the [[island challenge|trial]] in [[Lush Jungle]], where it battled a {{pkmn2|Totem}} {{p|Lurantis}}. It initially had the upper hand, until Lurantis called its ally {{p|Castform}}, who created [[harsh sunlight]] using {{m|Sunny Day}}. As Litten struggled with Lurantis's now immediate {{m|Solar Blade}}s and Castfrom's {{m|Water Gun}}s, Ash sent out Rowlet to assist it. With the help of Rowlet, Litten was able to fight on equal ground against its opponents. After a hard fought battle, Rowlet managed to defeat Castform, allowing Litten to use {{m|Breakneck Blitz}} to knock Lurantis out as well. Having cleared the trial, Ash was rewarded a [[Grassium Z]].

In [[SM063]], while Ash was watching a [[Battle Royal]] on TV, Litten became agitated when it saw the [[Professor Kukui|Masked Royal]]'s {{p|Incineroar}}. When Ash and {{ashcl}} later went to visit the [[Battle Royal Dome]] during a special event where anyone could volunteer to face the Masked Royal in a Battle Royal, Litten jumped down from the stands to the arena, prompting Ash to take part in the Battle Royal, joined by {{an|Kiawe}} and {{an|Sophocles}}. Although [[Kiawe's Marowak]] and [[Sophocles's Charjabug]] were soon defeated by Incineroar's {{m|Darkest Lariat}}, Litten managed to survive the attack. However, Litten's counterattack with Fire Fang was stopped cold by Incineroar, who then proceeded to defeat Litten with a {{m|Bulk Up}}-enhanced {{m|Throat Chop}}. This defeat later inspired Ash to teach Litten {{m|Flame Charge}}. Some days later, in the middle of Litten's training, the Masked Royal showed up and challenged Ash to a one-on-one battle. Litten, still not having completely mastered Flame Charge, was struggling throughout the battle. However, thanks to Ash's determination, Litten was able to evolve into a {{p|Torracat}}, perfecting Flame Charge in the process. Although the evolution and the {{stat|Speed}} increase from Flame Charge gave Torracat more edge in the battle, to the point where it even managed to damage Incineroar a bit, it was still eventually defeated by its evolved form. Afterwards, the Masked Royal declared that he and Incineroar were now Torracat's rivals.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Litten fiery disposition.png|thumb|left|250px|Showing off its fiery disposition as a Litten]]
Before being {{pkmn2|caught}} by Ash, Litten was a stubborn Pokémon that tended to keep its emotions and motives hidden. Its closest friend was an old {{p|Stoutland}} that once helped it when it had lost consciousness. Litten was seen training itself with Stoutland's guidance, and protected and cared for Stoutland in its ailing state. Litten had a very close relationship with Stoutland, and deeply cared for it, as evidenced by Litten's dreams about it. Litten had difficulty getting close to humans, but seemed to get along well with the {{OBP|Old lady|Alola}} of the marketplace. When Litten was wild, it would often visit her when it needed food.

Its first encounter with Ash did not go over so well. When he accidentally stepped on Litten's tail while running along the beach, it responded by burning his face with {{m|Ember}}. Encounters with Litten after that were unpleasant for Ash as well, as Litten had a tendency to attack him or steal his food, showing off cunning and slick characteristics to its enigmatic personality. When Stoutland thought it would be a good idea for Litten to join Ash, Litten wasn't keen on the idea. When Stoutland collapsed due to ill health, Litten's demeanor toward Ash began to change, and it was desperate for him to help it. After Litten accepted Stoutland's absence, it began trying to offer its food to Ash like it had done with Stoutland. Despite their growing relationship and mutual trust, Litten still shows a tendency to burn Ash in the face even after befriending him; though now it seems to be done mostly as a sign of affection toward him, much like {{AP|Charizard}} before it.

Since its capture, it has shown to be reflecting its solicitous nature over Stoutland on its new teammates. This was showcased in ''[[SM022|A Shivering Shovel Search!]]'', when it protected {{AP|Rockruff}} from being eaten by an angry {{p|Palossand}} and has even shown to be fine with Rockruff sleeping next to itself, despite putting the fact that it did not want to play with it earlier. This shows Litten is willing to open up to its new family despite its innately frisky nature. Litten is cold and apathetic towards strangers, as shown in ''[[SM024|Alolan Open House!]]'' when it was introduced to its Trainer's {{Delia|mother}}, but can't resist being stroked gently under its chin.

Since its capture, Litten has grown close to its Trainer and helps fellow Pokémon as shown in ''[[SM030|The Ol' Raise and Switch!]]'', where it helped [[Snowy]] warm up towards Ash and even offered Snowy a [[Sitrus Berry]]. Despite growing to care for others more, it is still shown to become a bit aggressive, as shown in ''[[SM028|Pulling Out the Pokémon Base Pepper!]]'', where it got angry towards a nearby baseball and in [[SM045]], where it got annoyed at Ash's Lycanroc. In [[SM048]] and [[SM049]], it is shown that Litten will spar with Lycanroc on occasion, even when it is separated from its Trainer.

Litten is also shown to have a strong sense of smell. In [[SM063]], after sniffing the Masked Royal, it immediately recognized him as Professor Kukui.

'''Medicham''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''チャーレム''' ''Charem'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fighting|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Meditite}} starting at [[level]] 37. It can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Medicham''' using the {{DL|Mega Stone|Medichamite}}.

==Biology==
Medicham is a humanoid, bipedal Pokémon that resembles a yoga practitioner. It has a gray body with red and yellow adornments. A red headpiece with three bulb-like extensions covers the upper portion of its head: one on top and one on either side. The bulb on top is short on a female Medicham. Its large, focused eyes are slightly covered by the headpiece, and its red lips seem to be in a rounded or puckered position. Its legs appear to be covered with puffy, red pants that have a large yellow spot on the knees and yellow bands next to the hips.

As Mega Medicham, its headpiece now resembles a white {{wp|turban}} with a yellow stone in the center. The red extension in the back is retained, and there are five white extensions on the turban, three extending from the stone and one on either side of its head. There is now a gold band on each wrist and additional gold bands around its waist. Several blue, teardrop-shaped decorations hang from the lowest hip band. Using its enhanced willpower, Mega Medicham has formed four ghost-like arms around itself. The more trained its spirit, the more realistic and dexterous its self-created arms become.<ref>http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Medicham</ref>

Through the power of meditation and fasting, Medicham has developed a sixth sense. This allows it to use psychokinetic powers, and it heightens its energy to enhance this sixth sense. It battles with elegant, dance-like movements, which it uses to dodge attacks and launch devastating blows. It only eats once per month. It lives in fields and {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountains}}. It will hide itself by using its powers to blend into its surroundings.

==Trivia==

===Origin===
Medicham resembles a {{wp|primate}} of some sort, like its {{p|Meditite|pre-evolution.}} It appears to have been based on a practitioner of {{wp|yoga}}. It may have also been based on Arabian {{wp|belly dance}}rs, as its pants resemble traditional {{wp|bedlah}} pants and its headgear resembles a {{wp|shawl}}. One headpiece growth, the longest one, resembles a ponytail, which can be seen on Persian genies in most American fiction, such as Jeannie of ''{{wp|I Dream of Jeannie}}'', who also wear bedlahs. Like its predecessor Meditite, Medicham looks like many {{wp|Hinduism|Hindu}} deities, most especially {{wp|Shiva}}, and {{wp|Ardhanari}}, a fusion of Shiva and his wife {{wp|Shakti}}.

====Name origin====
Medicham may be a combination of ''meditate'' and ''champion''.

Charem may derive from ''charm'', ''{{wp|harem pants}}'', ''challenge'', or ''champion''.

'''Meditite''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アサナン''' ''Asanan'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fighting|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Medicham}} starting at [[level]] 37.

==Biology==
Meditite is a humanoid, bipedal Pokémon that resembles a person meditating. It usually sits in a yoga position, with knees bent and feet together with its hands resting on its knees. Its lower body is blue, with white on the wrists, feet, and lower body. Its onion-shaped head is also white with large eyes and pink ovals on its cheeks. It has round, swirled ears on the sides of its head. These ears are higher up on a male than on a female.

Meditite heightens its inner energy and spiritual power through the meditation, which allows it to levitate. It trains hours a day, and never skips its daily yoga training. Its training never ends, since it loses concentration and focus while meditating. It eats one berry per day as part of training, which tempers its spirit and makes its senses sharper. It lives and trains on the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountains.}}

==In the anime==

===Major appearances===

In ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', Meditite and its evolved form, {{p|Medicham}}, worked for [[Lizabeth]] and her family. The two Meditation Pokémon used {{m|Psychic}} to make balls of water retain their form.

In ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]'', it was revealed that [[Maylene]] used a {{DL|Maylene|Meditite}} in her Gym battle with [[Paul]] but was defeated by {{TP|Paul|Honchkrow}}. Her Meditite also appeared again in ''[[DP067|Crossing the Battle Line!]]'' in a battle with {{an|Dawn}}, where it battled against her {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} and won, then it battled against her {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}}, where it lost. Meditite was also used to battle Ash in ''[[DP068|A Triple Fighting Chance!]]'', where it managed to confuse his {{AP|Chimchar}} and {{AP|Staravia}} before losing to the latter.

===Minor appearances===
A Meditite appeared in the opening of ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''.

A Meditite is seen at the beach in ''[[AG162|Spontaneous Combusken!]]''.

==Trivia==
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Meditite is obtainable via the [[Sinnoh Sound]] even though it was introduced in [[Generation III]]. However, it appears in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]].
* It is one of the few Pokémon that uses its in-game female sprite for its official artwork.
** However, it was introduced before gender differences.
* Meditite has the lowest base {{stat|HP}} and {{stat|Attack}} of all {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
It resembles a {{wp|primate}} of some sort. It appears to have been based on a practitioner of {{wp|yoga}} and is {{wp|meditation|meditating}} in almost all of the media it appears in. Its yoga position in its artwork and sprites is the {{wp|Lotus position|Lotus}}, where one crosses his/her legs and places their feet on the opposing thighs. This position supposedly holds the mind completely steady for long periods of time and calms it, heightening the user's senses. Its hat somewhat resembles a {{wp|turban}} and may also be the caps worn by many depictions of {{wp|Hindu deities}}, such as {{wp|Shiva|Shiva}}, who are commonly seen meditating.

====Name origin====
Meditite may be a combination of the corruptions of ''meditate'' and possibly ''petite'' or ''tyke''. It may also involve a corruption of ''tight'', as in the phrase, "Tight focus."

Asanan may be a corruption of ''{{wp|asana}}'', which in yoga refers to a pose or posture, and 軟 ''nan'' (soft or flexible).

'''Serperior''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ジャローダ''' ''Jalorda'') is a {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Servine}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Snivy}}.

==Biology==
Serperior is a primarily pale green, serpentine Pokémon. Its face and throat are white, while its back is dark green. Curled, mint-colored patterns extend into the white portion of its face, and it has narrow red eyes. In the lower jaw, two fangs are visible when its mouth is open. There are two pointed yellow extensions on the back of its head. Coiled, dark green extensions spread out from the sides of its lower neck, forming a curving pattern lower down the body. Just below its neck, it has two small leaf-like protrusions coming out of either side. It has curved yellow markings around its middle and several palmate leaves on its tail. Serperior will only attack with full force against opponents that are unfazed by its piercing glare. It is capable of amplifying solar energy with its body.

==Trivia==
* Serperior, {{p|Samurott}}, and {{p|Emboar}} all share the same base stat total of 528.
* Serperior is the only starter, Grass-type, and [[Generation V]] Pokémon with a [[List of Pokémon by body style#Pokémon with serpentine bodies|serpentine body]].
* Serperior is the tallest fully evolved [[Starter Pokemon]].

===Origin===
Serperior is based on multiple species of {{wp|snake}}s and limbless lizards, such as ''{{wp|Oxybelis fulgidus}}'', ''{{wp|Ahaetulla nasuta}}'', and ''{{wp|Ahaetulla prasina}}'' (species of {{wp|vine snake}}s), as well as the {{wp|Corallus caninus|emerald tree boa}}, {{wp|Python regius|royal python}}, and possibly {{wp|Burton's legless lizard}}. The shape of its head and the extensions on its collar may be based on the {{wp|Strelitzia|bird of paradise}} or {{wp|Heliconia|false bird of paradise}} flowers, a {{wp|cobra}}'s hood, or a snake's shed skin. Serperior may also originate from {{wp|Quetzalcoatl}}, a green, {{wp|Feathered Serpent (deity)|feathered serpent deity}}. Its body markings resemble the {{wp|acanthus (ornament)|acanthus leaf}} motifs popularized during the {{wp|Renaissance}}.

[[Ken Sugimori]] has said that Snivy, Servine, and Serperior are based on French royalty, specifically mentioning the anime ''{{wp|The Rose of Versailles}}'' as inspiration.<ref>http://web.archive.org/web/20101228065540/http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/sp/index5.html (archived link)</ref> The fact that Serperior amplifies sunlight in its body, as stated in its Pokédex entry, may be an allusion to King {{wp|Louis XIV of France}}, who famously referred to himself as the "Sun King". Its white face also alludes to the {{wp|skin whitening}} fashion, mostly used by the European aristocracy in the 17th century. The dark green design on its chest seems to form a {{wp|fleur-de-lis}}, a French insignia that is used on many European noble families' and nations' coat of arms. Along with its regal look, Serperior's ability to seize opponents with its piercing stare is a reference to the {{wp|basilisk}}, the king of serpents in European legend.

====Name origin====
Serperior is a combination of ''serpent'' and ''superior''. It may also be a combination of ''serpent'' and ''warrior'' or ''emperor''.

Jalorda is derived from 蛇 ''ja'' (snake) and ''lord''.

'''Squishy''' (Japanese: '''プニちゃん''' ''Puni-chan'') is a [[Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|recurring Pokémon character in the anime]] that traveled with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} under the care of {{an|Bonnie}}. It is known by [[Team Flare]] by the code name '''Z1'''. It first appeared in ''[[SS035|Mega Evolution Special IV]]'' and is the central figure of the ''{{DL|List of XY series episodes|XY&Z}}'' arc of the {{series|XY}}.

==History==
The {{p|Zygarde}} {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Core}} first appeared in ''[[SS035|Mega Evolution Special IV]]'', where [[Chespie|Mairin's Chespin]] recovered it from an experiment being done in the [[Lysandre Labs]]. Although the Core escaped, Mairin's {{p|Chespin}} fell into a coma. [[XY094|At some point]] after escaping [[Team Flare]], it found its way to a bag on a stump, which the tired Order Pokémon decided to sleep in. This bag turned out to belong to {{an|Bonnie}}, who became quickly enamored with the cute Pokémon. It attempted to escape to no avail. {{Ash}} and {{an|Serena}} attempted to scan it to learn what it was, but neither [[Pokédex]] recognized it. Bonnie then [[nickname]]d it Squishy in the absence of a species name and decided to take care of it despite {{an|Clemont}} pointing out that they knew nothing about this Pokémon.

Squishy was quickly separated from the group after [[Sawyer's Grovyle]] chased a group of {{p|Dodrio}} through the forest the group was in. The group, together with [[Sawyer]], soon caught up to it, only to find it being captured by Team Flare Scientist [[Celosia]] and a group of {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}s. Celosia referred to Squishy as theirs, but as her harsh treatment made Ash and {{ashfr}} skeptical of this claim, they went on to save Squishy. The five and their Pokémon were able to escape with Squishy none the worse for its ordeal.

After escaping, Squishy was introduced to the rest of the group's Pokémon. During dinner, the group was confused that Squishy was refusing to eat, but understood when it basked in the setting sun and absorbed sunlight. Soon after, it went berserk upon seeing [[Terminus Cave]] on Serena's Town Map and attacked the device, which the group interpreted to mean it wanted to go there.

That night, it detected through its cells that Celosia and the Team Flare Grunts were still searching for it, so it woke the group up. It was attacked by the Grunts again, but Ash and Sawyer, still unconvinced that Squishy belonged to them, defended it while Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie carried it away from Celosia's group. However, it was separated from the three after Bonnie fell while crossing a river, leading to it being cornered by [[Bryony]]. Out of desperation, it absorbed surrounding cells to transform into its 10% Forme, allowing it to use {{m|Land's Wrath}} to force Bryony and her subordinates to retreat. Although this exhausted it, it absorbed light to heal itself. It was then found by Bonnie who promised she wouldn't let it go again. Seeing that Ash and his friends meant no harm, Squishy began to trust them and decided to travel with them.

[[File:Bonnie and Squishy.png|thumb|left|250px|Bonnie and Squishy]]
In ''[[XY095|Love Strikes! Eevee, Yikes!]]'', Squishy was shown to [[Professor Sycamore]] who was informed that neither of the two Pokédexes recognized it. Sycamore then went on to say that it could be a new Pokémon. While resting in Bonnie's bag, {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} wanted it to make space for it so that Dedenne could rest. Serena then decided that she would make an extension for Squishy to rest. While Serena was stitching Bonnie's bag, Squishy went to rest on a rock nearby and absorbed sunlight for itself to re-energize. When the stitching was done, both Squishy and Dedenne were happy as they could now rest in Bonnie's bag. Later, Squishy got kidnapped by {{TRT}}, along with [[Serena's Eevee]], [[Clemont's Bunnelby]], and Dedenne. They managed to escape, but were quickly found again. When Bunnelby and Dedenne got defeated by {{TP|Jessie|Gourgeist}}, Squishy prepared to change its form and attack them, but stopped when Ash and the group arrived.

In ''[[XY098|Dream a Little Dream from Me!]]'', after the gang viewed the [[Litleonids|Litleonid meteor shower]], Squishy separated from the rest to sleep in a nearby tree. A {{p|Darkrai}} also happened to nestle in that same tree, and started showing Squishy a nightmare, pulling [[Ash's Pikachu]] and {{MTR|Team Rocket's Meowth}} into its dream. In the dream, the group's Pokémon were either in their evolved or pre-evolved form and could speak [[human]] language, while the humans spoke like Pokémon. Pikachu and Meowth met up with Squishy, who was getting chased by a flaming ghost. Squishy showed them a glimpse of its true strength, before attempting to escape to its home so it could access this power. After the defeat of the flaming ghost, it was woken from its dream by [[List of Clemont's inventions|Clemont's (failed) invention]], and promptly found by Ash and his friends.

When Ash and his friends finally arrived at Terminus Cave in ''[[XY102|Meeting at Terminus Cave!]]'', Squishy separated from the group and continued alone to an underground lake in the cave. When it arrived at the lake, it got detected by a sensor placed by Team Flare. In the waters, it began meditating and contacted [[Z2]]. When the group arrived at the lake, their conversation ended and Squishy camouflaged itself. Then Team Flare entered Terminus Cave who, after spotting Squishy using their special scopes, managed to injure Squishy by shooting it with their specialized laser guns. During a hard fought battle between Ash and his friends and Team Flare, Squishy transformed to its 10% Forme and proceeded to defeat Team Flare's Pokémon. Celosia and Bryony then sent out their {{p|Manectric}} and {{p|Liepard}} to try and stop Squishy, but they were stopped in their tracks by [[Ash's Greninja]] and Pikachu, giving Squishy the chance to escape. After Team Flare had retreated, Squishy was seen hiding behind a tree, watching the group.

Squishy was continuously seen watching the group in [[XY103|the following episode]]. It also contacted Z2 again, who tried to convince Squishy to cut contact with humans. Squishy, however, disagreed with Z2 and wanted to continue observing humans. Later, when Bonnie was trying to get the medicine for [[Clemont's Bunnelby]], who got injured earlier, Squishy helped Bonnie to reach it. At the end of the episode, Squishy returned to Bonnie's bag and had a tearful reunion with her.

In ''[[XY107|An Explosive Operation!]]'', Squishy sensed something was wrong with Z2, as it was getting chased by Team Flare, greatly worrying it. At the end of the episode, Squishy felt incredibly upset after realizing Z2 had been captured by Team Flare and vowed that it would come to rescue it.

In ''[[XY121|Seeing the Forest for the Trees!]]'', Squishy used its cells to find a safe hiding spot for the group after they got stuck in a snowstorm looking for Ash. It later went out to look for Ash after his friends started getting really worried. While in its 10% Forme, it eventually met up with Greninja and told it of Ash's location, which it had tracked using its cells. At the end of the episode, when Ash and Greninja had returned, Squishy sent a message to Z2, telling it that Ash and Greninja truly embodied the unity between people and Pokémon.

In ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'', Squishy turned into its 10% Forme to protect Pikachu from a {{me|Banette}}'s {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} by using {{m|Dragon Pulse}} to counter the move. Soon after, it aided Pikachu by allowing him to ride on its leash, to get in close to a Mega {{p|Aggron}} and hit it with {{m|Iron Tail}}. Later Squishy was seen fighting with a Mega {{p|Glalie}}, before turning into its Complete Forme from afar and firing a Dragon Pulse to counter the laser that [[Alva]] had shot from his airship at the [[Nebel Plateau]]. Neither Bonnie nor the rest saw Squishy turn into its Complete Forme. It then reverted to its Core Forme before rejoining the group.

During the [[Lumiose Conference]], Squishy typically hid in Bonnie's bag, but in ''[[XY130|Finals Not for the Faint-Hearted!]]'', it stayed out to watch Ash and [[Alain]] compete in the finals. During [[XY131|the awards ceremony]], the stadium was attacked by Team Flare and Z2, now under Team Flare's control. Squishy sensed Z2 going berserk, and left Bonnie and the others in the confusion. In ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'', Squishy transformed into its 10% Forme to make its way to [[Lumiose Gym]], while trying to reach out to Z2 telepathically. Z2, however, did not respond. As the sun began to set, Squishy climbed Prism Tower to confront Z2, but its Dragon Pulse was overpowered by Z2's own Dragon Pulse, sending it off the edge of the tower and causing it to revert to its original form. With no other choice, Squishy called for more Zygarde Cells and transformed into its 50% Forme to match Z2. In the process, Ash and his friends realized that Squishy is in fact a Zygarde like the one attacking the city. Squishy continued its battle against Z2 in ''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]'', where it used its {{m|Extreme Speed}} to dodge Z2's roots and slam into it with full force. Squishy, however, was eventually subdued by the roots, allowing [[Xerosic]] to hit it with the Mega Evolution energy-powered beam, controlling Squishy. Now being controlled by Team Flare as well, it proceeded to take part in Z2's destruction of [[Lumiose City]].

While continuing its destruction in the [[XY134|the next episode]], Squishy was eventually confronted by Bonnie and [[Meyer|Blaziken Mask]]. Bonnie's attempts to calm it down didn't work, however, and Squishy attacked her with its roots, slamming Blaziken Mask into a wall, who stepped in to protect Bonnie. As Squishy neared Bonnie and prepared to attack her with Dragon Pulse, Bonnie made one last attempt to save Squishy by singing [[Puni-chan's Song]]. The song managed to get through to Squishy, freeing it from Team Flare's control. After reverting back to its Core form and reuniting with Bonnie, Squishy left to find Z2, who had been freed from Team Flare's control as well.

Upon finding Z2 in [[XY135|the following episode]], it tried to explain to the skeptical Core that humans and Pokémon are worthy to be trusted, telling it about the things it had experienced during its travels with Bonnie. It was then brought along with Bonnie when she and the others chased and tried to stop the advancing [[Giant Rock]]. In ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', while watching everyone fight the Giant Rock, Squishy once again talked with Z2 and convinced it that humans, along with Pokémon, were worthy to be trusted and saved. After gaining the trust of the other Core, both of them joined hands and transformed into their Complete Forme. With this Forme, they managed to stop [[Lysandre]], destroying the Giant Rock and thus returning [[Kalos]]' environment back to normal. After this, it had to properly rest and left the group, but not before expressing its gratitude towards Bonnie and her companions for protecting it all of this time and showing it that both humans and Pokémon may have the determination to never give up.

It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[XY137|Battling With a Clean Slate!]]''.

Squishy reappeared in ''[[XY139|Facing the Needs of the Many!]]'' alongside Z2, where the two rescued Team Rocket from getting hit by a root. Squishy later appeared before Ash and his friends, protecting them from another root. After having a tearful reunion with Bonnie, it told Ash's Greninja to follow it, and led the group to Z2. There, Squishy explained that it and Z2 had been weeding out the negative energy left over from the Team Flare crisis, energy of which was spreading throughout Kalos in the form of the same roots that destroyed parts of Lumiose City. However, tracking down the source of the negative energy proved to be a difficult task for them to accomplish. Having witnessed Greninja's ability to locate the negative energy within the roots, it asked Greninja to lend them its strength to protect Kalos, which Ash agreed on. Before Squishy left with Z2 and Greninja, Bonnie promised that she would come back for it when she was old enough to be a {{pkmn|Trainer}}.

It reappeared in [[XY140|the following episode]] along with Z2, where they both oversaw Ash's Greninja destroying a root that was attacking the Kalos region.

==Personality and characteristics==
Squishy, being a {{p|Zygarde}} Core, is shown to be keeping a regular check of nature through its other cells that are scattered throughout the region. Squishy uses these cells as surveillance cameras, and will always check with its cells before falling asleep. If it senses that enemies are approaching, it will wake any traveling companions up to warn them. When in danger, as shown in ''[[XY094|From A to Z!]]'', it calls upon these cells to change its form.

As shown when it tried to escape from the group, Squishy doesn't fully trust humans; this may stem from the experiments it was subjected to at the hands of [[Team Flare]]. It only warmed up to the group when they rescued it from [[Celosia]], and even then, it didn't fully trust them until they defended it a second time. In ''[[XY102|Meeting at Terminus Cave!]]'', it showed a moment's hesitation before heading to the center of Terminus Cave, looking back at Ash's group before plunging down a chasm. While communicating with [[Z2]] in ''[[XY103|A Cellular Connection!]]'', Squishy disagreed with Z2's unfavorable opinion on humankind, and expressed the desire to continue observing them. However, through the journey with Bonnie and her friends, Squishy shows more belief in humans and Pokémon, as evidenced with its opinion on Ash and Greninja in ''[[XY121|Seeing the Forest for the Trees!]]'', and when it tries to convince Z2 to believe in them and save the Kalos region in ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'' and ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]''.

As seen in the Japanese version of ''[[XY098|Dream a Little Dream from Me!]]'', it tends to refer to itself in collective, as it is a part of the bigger Zygarde. Squishy is highly ticklish, as shown on its first encounter with the group and in [[Puni-chan's Song]]. Its biggest fear is a fiery ghost who constantly tries to attack and capture it.

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

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pikachu}} when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]]. It is the final form of {{p|Pichu}}.

In [[Alola]], Raichu has a [[regional variant]] that is {{2t|Electric|Psychic}}. It evolves from Pikachu when exposed to a Thunder Stone. All Pikachu in Alola will evolve into this form regardless of their origin.

==Biology==
Raichu is a bipedal, rodent-like Pokémon. Raichu is covered in dark orange fur with a white belly. Its bifurcated ears are brown on the outside, yellow on the insides, and end in a distinctive curl. There are circular yellow markings on its cheek where its electric sacs are, and it has a triangular, dark brown nose. Its arms and feet have patches of brown fur at the end, and the soles of its big feet are tan with a circular orange pad. On its back are two horizontal brown stripes. Its long, thin tail has a lightning bolt-shaped end. This lightning bolt is smaller on females. The tail is used to gather electricity from the atmosphere, or it can be planted in the ground to search for electricity. Its tail also serves to protect itself from its own power.

Raichu exudes a weak electrical charge from all its body and slightly glows in the dark, and is capable of storing over 100,000 volts of electricity. However, it will become aggressive if it has stored too much electricity. To keep from reaching this state, it discharges electricity through its tail into the ground. This leads to scorched patches near its nest. If Raichu's sacs are fully charged, its ears will stand straight up and its muscles become stimulated. Raichu is found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests and woodlands.}} Like the {{p|Pichu|two}} {{p|Pikachu|others}} in its evolutionary family, Raichu is able to learn {{m|Volt Tackle}} as a [[signature move]].

In Alola, Raichu has lighter coloring and more rounded features. Its eyes are blue with yellow half-circles along the bottom. It has large yellow ears with an inner spiral toward the base and brown on the inside. These ears are thicker and less pointed than a standard Raichu's ear. In addition to its white belly, Alolan Raichu has white markings on its paws with bright yellow lines between its digits. The stripes on its back have also turned white, and there is a small, white circular marking on each heel. The lightning bolt-shaped tip of its tail has rounded edges. By collecting its psychic power in its tail, it is able to ride it like a {{wp|surfboard}} and float in the air. While its cheek sacs are still used to store electricity, rubbing them releases a sweet aroma. This is also thought to be connected to its psychic abilities. Raichu's transformation in [[Alola]] into Alolan Raichu is a mystery, but the natives suppose that maybe it ate too many sweet, fluffy pancakes.<ref>http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/alolan-raichu/</ref>

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Alolan Raichu.
* In {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, there is a {{tc|Scientist}} at the [[Pokémon Lab]] in [[Cinnabar Island]] who will trade a Raichu for an {{p|Electrode}}. If the player talks to him after the trade, he will mention that the Raichu evolved, which is not possible. This mistake was due to the original translation of the script of the [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Japanese Blue]] (in which this person traded a Graveler for a Kadabra) rather than that of {{game|Red and Green|s}}. This error was corrected in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, as the script was retranslated.
* Raichu's FireRed and Sun Pokédex entries reference a 1903 documentary film called Electrocuting an Elephant by {{wp|Thomas Edison}}.
* Several Pokédex entries claim Raichu can discharge up to {{m|Thunderbolt|100,000 volts}}. However, its Stadium entry claims it can only discharge up to 10,000 volts. This is likely a translation error due to the way numbers are read in Japanese, where 100,000 literally reads "ten ten-thousands".
* Raichu [[List of Pokémon that appear in every regional Pokédex|appears in every regional Pokédex]] except the [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Unova Pokédex]].
* Although {{p|Pikachu}} is the starter of {{game|Yellow}}, it is not possible to directly evolve it into Raichu in the game, and must be traded in from {{2v2|Red|Blue}}. This inability to evolve Pikachu is a reference to [[Ash's Pikachu]] in the anime.
* Raichu and its {{p|Pikachu|pre-evolved form}} share their {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Rattata}}, {{p|Raticate}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, and {{p|Sandslash}}. They are all known as the Mouse Pokémon.
* Raichu's number in the [[National Pokédex]] and the [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number|Alola Pokédex]] are the same: 026.
* Alolan Raichu is the only [[regional variant]] Pokémon to have a [[Z-Move]] exclusive to it.

===Origin===
Raichu's legs and long tail are like those of a {{wp|kangaroo rat}}.

Alolan Raichu is likely based on the concept of {{DL|Pikachu variant|surfing Pikachu}} and the sport of {{wp|surfing}} itself, which originated in Hawaii. Its design appears to have been influenced by [[Puka]], a {{DL|Pikachu variants|surfing Pikachu}} that appeared in the anime. In the [[Pokémon Stadium series]], Raichu rides on its tail when using the move {{m|Surf}}.

====Name origin====
Raichu is a combination of 雷 ''rai'' (thunder) and チューチュー ''chūchū'' (the sound of squeaking).

'''Serperior''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ジャローダ''' ''Jalorda'') is a {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Servine}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Snivy}}.

==Biology==
Serperior is a primarily pale green, serpentine Pokémon. Its face and throat are white, while its back is dark green. Curled, mint-colored patterns extend into the white portion of its face, and it has narrow red eyes. In the lower jaw, two fangs are visible when its mouth is open. There are two pointed yellow extensions on the back of its head. Coiled, dark green extensions spread out from the sides of its lower neck, forming a curving pattern lower down the body. Just below its neck, it has two small leaf-like protrusions coming out of either side. It has curved yellow markings around its middle and several palmate leaves on its tail. Serperior will only attack with full force against opponents that are unfazed by its piercing glare. It is capable of amplifying solar energy with its body.

==Trivia==
* Serperior, {{p|Samurott}}, and {{p|Emboar}} all share the same base stat total of 528.
* Serperior is the only starter, Grass-type, and [[Generation V]] Pokémon with a [[List of Pokémon by body style#Pokémon with serpentine bodies|serpentine body]].
* Serperior is the tallest fully evolved [[Starter Pokemon]].
===Origin===
Serperior is based on multiple species of {{wp|snake}}s and limbless lizards, such as ''{{wp|Oxybelis fulgidus}}'', ''{{wp|Ahaetulla nasuta}}'', and ''{{wp|Ahaetulla prasina}}'' (species of {{wp|vine snake}}s), as well as the {{wp|Corallus caninus|emerald tree boa}}, {{wp|Python regius|royal python}}, and possibly {{wp|Burton's legless lizard}}. The shape of its head and the extensions on its collar may be based on the {{wp|Strelitzia|bird of paradise}} or {{wp|Heliconia|false bird of paradise}} flowers, a {{wp|cobra}}'s hood, or a snake's shed skin. Serperior may also originate from {{wp|Quetzalcoatl}}, a green, {{wp|Feathered Serpent (deity)|feathered serpent deity}}. Its body markings resemble the {{wp|acanthus (ornament)|acanthus leaf}} motifs popularized during the {{wp|Renaissance}}.

[[Ken Sugimori]] has said that Snivy, Servine, and Serperior are based on French royalty, specifically mentioning the anime ''{{wp|The Rose of Versailles}}'' as inspiration.<ref>http://web.archive.org/web/20101228065540/http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/sp/index5.html (archived link)</ref> The fact that Serperior amplifies sunlight in its body, as stated in its Pokédex entry, may be an allusion to King {{wp|Louis XIV of France}}, who famously referred to himself as the "Sun King". Its white face also alludes to the {{wp|skin whitening}} fashion, mostly used by the European aristocracy in the 17th century. The dark green design on its chest seems to form a {{wp|fleur-de-lis}}, a French insignia that is used on many European noble families' and nations' coat of arms. Along with its regal look, Serperior's ability to seize opponents with its piercing stare is a reference to the {{wp|basilisk}}, the king of serpents in European legend.

====Name origin====
Serperior is a combination of ''serpent'' and ''superior''. It may also be a combination of ''serpent'' and ''warrior'' or ''emperor''.

Jalorda is derived from 蛇 ''ja'' (snake) and ''lord''.

Maiden's Peak

'''Maiden's Peak''' (Japanese: '''乙女ヶ崎''' ''Maiden's Cape'') is a haunted location in [[Kanto]]. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} visited it in the episode ''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]''. It is located somewhere near [[Saffron City]].

Two-thousand years ago, a [[Timeline of events in the anime|war]] was taking place and soldiers were being shipped overseas from Kanto to the battlefield. A [[Ghost of Maiden's Peak|maiden]] was in love with one of the soldiers who was sent to war, and she swore to wait on the cliff until her love returned, but he never did. According to legend, she died while standing there, and her body became a part of the cliff itself.

Her petrified body became a monument, and the location was named for the legend. Her spirit still haunts the area with the help of a clever, {{pkmn2|talking}} {{p|Gastly}}, who preserves her legend every year during the [[Summer Festival]] by haunting the peak.

In present times, a festival is held there at the end of the summer. Visitors honor the statue of the maiden, and at the end of the festival, people will release small boats with paper lanterns into the water. These boats are meant to help spirits find their way home, in hopes that the spirit of the maiden's lover will one day be returned to her.

==Plot==
{{incomplete plot}}
One night, {{Ash}}, {{AP|Pikachu}}, [[Rotom Pokédex]] and [[Professor Kukui]] return home but Ash notices that {{AP|Rockruff}} is missing. As Ash puts his backpack away, Pikachu is checking through the door when Rockruff enters. Rockruff appears to be injured and Ash goes to it. Rotom Pokédex explains that Rockruff is showing signs of being scraped, cut, scratched and being burned . Ash Professor Kukui heals Rockruff with a potion, Ash wonders if Rockruff had gotten into a fight. Professor Kukui replies Rockruff was supposed to be watching the house. The next morning at the [[Pokémon School]], Ash explains the strange happening to {{ashfr|his classmates}}. {{an|Lillie}} suggests it would be better to put Rockruff in a [[Poké Ball]] but, Ash explains that Rockruff doesn't belong to Professor Kukui which is a surprising fact for the classmates. Ash explains that Professor Kukui gave Rockruff some food and it came with him as {{an|Mallow}} suggests Rockruff is a freeloader. {{an|Lana}} thought Rockruff was one of Professor Kukui's Pokémon as {{an|Kiawe}} noticed it gets along well with the Professor. Rotom Pokédex notes that Rockruff are known to get along well with humans in general. Lana now suggests Rockruff may have got hurt doing some special training. On the other hand, {{an|Sophocles}} suggests Rockruff could be close to evolving. Rotom Pokédex provides information on Rockruff's evolved form {{p|Lycanroc}} and its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Lycanroc|Midday and Midnight Form}} and informs Ash when Rockruff is close to evolving, it can become more aggressive and independent.

That night, a {{p|Shellder}} washes up on the beach before returning to the water as Ash returns home. Rockruff greets Ash happily. Professor Kukui arrived home before Ash, having been worried about Rockruff and shows Ash the TV where footage from CCTV cameras are visible. Professor Kukui explains he set the cameras up around the room but he is worried about Rockruff looking outside the window before going out the door before returning home hours later injured. Ash wonders what Rockruff was doing outside as outside, and three {{p|Magikarp}} wash up on the beach before returning to the ocean. Ash and Professor Kukui head out leaving Rockruff to guard the house but don't go far and hide behind a bush. Professor Kukui brings up the footage on his phone which shows Rockruff attacking the stuffed toy that he left Rockruff. Professor Kukui is puzzled as this hasn't happened before, and, at that moment, Rockruff leaves the house and they follow it through the forest. Professor Kukui stops Ash, knowing where Rockruff is heading for. Up ahead, two Lycanroc, one a Midday Form and the other a Midnight Form call out . Many Pokémon respond to the call by coming up, including Rockruff. Ash and Professor Kukui watch from a distance as Ash notices both of the Lycanroc. Rotom Pokédex finds this an interesting place. Professor Kukui explains that this is [[Clawmark Hill]]. All the Pokémon gathered watch as the two Lycanroc face off against each other. The Midday Lycanroc uses {{m|Rock Throw}} on the Midnight Lycanroc before using {{m|Accelerock}}. All the other Pokémon cheer as Midday Lycanroc uses {{m|Bite}} and the Midnight Lycanroc uses {{m|Counter}} as Professor Kukui explains that the Midnight Lycanroc prefer to take its opponents attacks before attacking back. Rotom Pokédex goes forward and starts to documenting the scene by taking pictures. All the Pokémon start to test their strength with each other.

A {{p|Hariyama}} and {{p|Machoke}} compete with each other while a {{p|Golduck}} with a {{p|Pangoro}}, a {{p|Boldore}} and {{p|Vullaby}}, a {{p|Primeape}} and {{p|Sableye}} and a {{p|Fearow}} and {{p|Braviary}} battle each other. Ash watches everything, wondering where Rockruff is before spotting Rockruff and is starting to understand the situation. Professor Kukui stops him from going to Rockruff since they need to know about Rockruff's motivation, suggesting they should watch a bit longer. A {{p|Magmar}} is seen using {{m|Flamethrower}} on a {{p|Spinda}}, Primeape and an {{alo|Raticate}} before being challenged by Rockruff. Rockruff goes to attack Magmar but is hit by {{m|Fire Punch}}. Ash watches in horror but, Professor Kukui tells him to endure it. Magmar and Rockruff continue their fight. Rockruff takes damage and prepares to launch an attack but is hit by Flamethrower before it can execute a move. Professor Kukui notices the difference in power is clear. Rockruff {{m|Bite}}s onto Magmar's tail but is thrown off and hit with Flamethrower which knocks Rockruff out. Magmar celebrates its victory before being challenged by a Pangoro, Ash and Professor Kukui realize they aren't fighting with each other, but are training and this is a place they shouldn't interfere. Rotom Pokédex realizes Rockruff comes here to practice its moves. Later, Rockruff is heading home when it comes across Ash and Professor Kukui and greets them happily.

==Major events==

* {{p|Rockruff}} is revealed to not be [[Professor Kukui]]'s Pokémon, but a [[wild Pokémon]] that he takes care of.
* Rockruff is revealed to know {{m|Tackle}} and {{m|Bite}} and learns {{m|Rock Throw}}.

List of recurring wild Pokémon in the animated series

2017-02-23T09:26:47Z

PkmnTrainerV: /* Personality and characteristics */ added a line about stoutland

{{split|their own articles}}
Several [[wild Pokémon]] had a recurring role in the [[Pokémon anime]].

==[[Original series]]==
===Fearow===
[[File:Ash Fearow.png|thumb|200px|Fearow]]
{{main|Ash's Fearow#In the anime|Ash's Fearow}}

Fearow's first appearance was the [[EP001|first episode of the anime]], where it appeared as a {{p|Spearow}}. It attacked Ash and Pikachu after Ash threw a rock at it. Its second and final appearance was in ''[[EP081|Pallet Party Panic]]'', where it was shown to have evolved into a Fearow. It battled against Ash's Pidgeotto, who soon evolved into a {{AP|Pidgeot}}, Ash attempted to capture the Fearow while riding on Pidgeot's back. Despite its weakened state, he was still unable to capture it, and left Pidgeot behind to guard against any future attacks. It was seen in a flashback in ''[[EP131|Fighting Flyer with Fire]]''.
{{-}}
===Ho-Oh===
[[File:Recurring Ho-Oh anime.png|thumb|200px|Ho-Oh]]
{{main|Ho-Oh (anime)}}
The second recurring wild Pokémon in the anime, and the one that made three appearances.

After Ash and Pikachu were exhausted from fighting a flock of Spearow, Ash saw a glimpse of Ho-Oh flying over a rainbow. The Pokédex couldn't record the data of Ho-Oh as it was unknown at the time. Since then, it would often fly around.

Jigglypuff's first appearance was in ''[[EP045|The Song of Jigglypuff]]''. At first it couldn't {{m|sing}}, but that changed once {{an|Brock}} gave it a piece of fruit which soothed its throat. Jigglypuff followed the gang throughout their journey until the {{series|Advanced Generation}}. It set a goal to accomplish what it had failed to in the first episode: to have someone listen to its song in its entirety without falling asleep.

Jigglypuff is perhaps best known, however, for its running gag. Whenever it saw that its song put its listeners to sleep, it would inflate angrily, making a distinctive "honk" sound, then doodle over the faces of its audience with its marker.

Slowking reappeared in [[Slowking's Day]].

{{p|Suicune}} first appeared in the anime in the episode ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'dile]]'' as a form of energy. When {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} were lost in a forest, {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} sensed something and led the trio to a lake. Suicune was standing on a small island in the lake. At first, Ash did not understand what Pokémon it was and wanted to capture it. However, Suicune ran away towards the direction of [[New Bark Town]] as soon as Ash made an attempt to {{pkmn|battle}} it. Ash and group chased it to New Bark from where they began their [[Johto]] [[S03|adventure]].

Suicune appeared once again in the episode, ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll!]]''. After {{TRT}} had removed a [[Clear Bell|Crystal Bell]] from {{Ci|Ecruteak}}'s [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]], many {{type|Bug}} Pokémon invaded the city. They wrapped [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} in a web by using {{m|String Shot}} and blocked off the entry to the Tin Tower. The bugs even attacked Ash, Misty, Brock, [[Morty]] and [[Eusine]] when they wanted to go to the Tin Tower. Suicune appeared, calming down the Pokémon and freeing the Rocket trio as well as the city from the webs of the bugs. Eusine wanted to capture Suicune and sent out his {{p|Alakazam}} to battle it. Alakazam used a {{m|Disable}}, but Suicune easily blocked it with a {{m|Mirror Coat}}. It then used {{m|Roar}} to send Alakazam back into its [[Poké Ball]] and fled from the place before Eusine could even react.

====Personality and characteristics====
Suicune was a calm Pokémon as shown as it didn't get angry at anyone who tried to battle or capture it.

Pikachu and the Pichu Brothers went all throughout the town chased by a {{p|Houndour}} who eventually helped them when the local Pokémon Playhouse was collapsing.

They also have a number of friends living in [[Big Town]] that regularly take part in their adventures. They have all made appearances in various side story episodes, as well as a cameo at the beginning of ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', and the gang have also received their own game for the [[Pokémon mini]], [[Pichu Bros. mini]].

Lugia first appeared in ''[[EP210|Around the Whirlpool]]'' as a silhouette swimming underwater. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} who were clinging on their Pokémon, as they were being dragged into a whirlpool (after another mishap involving {{TRT}}), when it suddenly disappeared, which was followed by Lugia's mysterious silhouette and its strange call.

In ''[[EP220|The Mystery is History]]'', it appeared when [[Oliver]], Ash, and his friends were playing with the child Lugia, {{jo|Silver}}. Lugia and Silver played with the group underwater.

In ''[[EP221|A Parent Trapped!]]'', Lugia looked for the child after it was told that it was kidnapped by some members of Team Rocket. Lugia became enraged after finding out what happened until Ash mentioned that the group will find and rescue Silver. When Lugia found Silver in a cage, it went for the cage. Despite the group warning Lugia not to get closer, the parent Lugia was caught alongside its child.

In ''[[EP222|A Promise is a Promise]]'', Lugia was taken captive to Team Rocket's base. [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} attempt to free it until they got interrupted by [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]]. Their battle accidentally freed the adult Lugia and it went on a rampage until it reunited with Silver. Although doing so, pieces of the ceiling were falling down and Lugia protected Silver and the group with {{m|Safeguard}}. After escaping from Team Rocket's base, Silver stayed with the adult Lugia with Oliver saying goodbye to them both.

====Personality and characteristics====
Lugia is very protective of its {{jo|Silver|child}}, as shown when people it hasn't seen before were near it. Following Team Rocket's attack, Lugia and Silver left, with Silver having to separate from Oliver.

{{p|Wynaut}} is a wild Pokémon who followed {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, and {{TRT}} around in [[Blackthorn City]]. Even though it followed them everywhere, [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]], [[Ash's Bayleef]] and {{AP|Noctowl}} were the only ones to see it.

Wynaut first appeared in ''[[EP252|Fangs for Nothin']]'' where it was briefly seen taking some food from Team Rocket. Wobbuffet only saw it doing so.

In ''[[EP253|Great Bowls of Fire]]'', Wynaut popped its arm out of the bushes while Ash, {{an|Misty}}, {{an|Brock}}, [[Clair]], and {{jo|Liza}} returned to the [[Blackthorn Gym]] for Ash's Gym battle.

While [[Charla]] was about to eat some {{pkmn|food}} in ''[[EP254|Better Eight Than Never]]'', Liza provided to her, Wynaut quickly snatched the food from Charla, unbeknownst to her.

In ''[[EP255|Why? Wynaut!]]''. While Team Rocket were spying on Ash and his friends, Wynaut sneaked over and took their snack, putting the blame on Wobbuffet. Wynaut went for Ash's [[Badge]]s but Wobbuffet caught Wynaut this time. However, despite doing so, it was unable to tell Team Rocket that Wynaut took the badges. Later, Wynaut met Ash's Bayleef and Noctowl while they were searching for Ash's stolen badges. After finishing the berries Wynaut found, Wynaut went back inside a bush. When Team Rocket attacked {{p|Wooper}} and Bayleef, Wynaut jumped out and {{m|counter}}ed {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}'s {{m|Poison Sting}} and went back hiding in the bush. After defeating Team Rocket, Wynaut found the Rising Badge that Ash needed and gave it to Bayleef secretly. Wynaut left before Ash found out.

====Personality and characteristics====
Wynaut had a tendency to pop up out of nowhere at random moments, especially in its final appearance ''[[EP255|Why? Wynaut!]]'' when it popped out of nowhere and took the case containing Ash's badges (which Team Rocket had stolen from him) away from {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} who was guarding the case while its teammates were away. Wobbuffet was very confused and startled to see Wynaut, and panicked even more once Wynaut took the case away just as its teammates came back.

Later on in the episode after the case got open and the badges went all over the place, Ash and his friends as well as {{AP|Noctowl}} and {{AP|Bayleef}} searched everywhere for the badges. At first they found seven of them, and then Noctowl and Bayleef set out to find the one they had missed, and that's when they saw Wynaut who gave the badge to them, and then Bayleef called to Ash and gave him back his badge and he thanked her and asked her if it had just been lying on the ground. Bayleef tried to explain to her trainer about Wynaut, but it was already gone, causing both Bayleef and Noctowl to become confused, so Wynaut has a tendency to appear out of nowhere when a Pokémon is nearby and then disappear when people come around, showing that there's a possibility Wynaut either doesn't want to be seen by humans, or just likes playing a little joke leaving those who did see it very confused.

{{p|Loudred}} first appeared in ''[[AG022|A Hole Lotta Trouble]]'', where it ran by and stepped on [[Jessie]] when she was climbing up to the next floor or [[Granite Cave]]. In the [[AG023|next episode]], Jessie fell on top of it while it was sleeping when she hastily ran to catch [[Ash's Corphish|whatever was attacking]] {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}. Loudred then sent her, [[James]] and {{MTR}} flying with an extremely loud {{m|Screech}} attack.

It reappeared again in ''[[AG026|Turning Over a Nuzleaf]]'', where it was pinched on the ear by Ash's Corphish. Loudred ran around in pain, screeching, causing the {{TP|May|Silcoon}} to fall from {{an|May}}'s arms and roll off, separating it and the other Pokémon that went to its rescue to become separated from their Trainers. Loudred's last appearance was in ''[[AG027|A Three Team Scheme!]]'' where [[Professor Birch]] fell from a {{p|Wingull}}'s nest on to it, waking it from its sleep. Loudred screeched at him before leaving.

It appeared in a flashback in ''[[AG066|Exploud and Clear!]]''.

====Personality and characteristics====
Loudred does not like to be disturbed while it's sleeping, which it does most of the time, and this could mean that it's a lazy Pokémon. If it gets disturbed while it's sleeping, it'll become very angry and chase after the person or people that woke it up.

{{p|Spoink}} first appeared in ''[[AG079|Pearls are a Spoink's Best Friend]]''. It had lost its pearl, and {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} were trying to find it. As it turns out, {{TRT}} had found it and had traded it to the [[Magikarp salesman]] for a {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio|Magikarp}}. After learning this, the travelers confronted the salesman and demanded he give back the pearl. Team Rocket also demanded he give them the pearl back as well. In the ensuing battle, Spoink's pearl was returned and Team Rocket was sent blasting off.

It made its second, and final, appearance in ''[[AG093|Clamperl of Wisdom]]''. Like the previous time, it had lost its pearl. This time, it was lost in the ocean without any way of retrieving it. But the travelers learned from a scientist named [[Isaiah]] that Spoink's pearls come from {{p|Clamperl}}. Eventually, they found a Clamperl who was willing to give its pearl to Spoink. They said goodbye to Spoink, and it hasn't been seen since that episode.

====Personality and characteristics====
After losing its pearl, Spoink has a habit of using {{m|Psychic}} to move any round objects (and after a while, even not-so-round objects) on its head, including an angry {{p|Electrode}}, much to the dismay of those around it. It developed a friendship with [[Ash's Torkoal]] during its adventures with the group.

Groudon nullified Kyogre's Drizzle with its own Ability, {{a|Drought}}. Groudon fought Kyogre in the ocean. Because of Brock and May's interference with Kyogre, Groudon was able to defeat Kyogre with {{m|Solar Beam}}. After the Blue and Red Orbs went in the sky, Groudon went back in a volcano.

{{p|Kyogre}} first appeared in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' sleeping in the containment room of Team Magma's ship. It was freed by [[Shelly]] who infiltrated the ship in disguise as a member of Team Magma. After being freed, Kyogre escaped Team Magma's ship and destroyed it with {{m|Hyper Beam}}. Kyogre was later seen sleeping in its containment chamber on Team Aqua's ship. Kyogre once again escaped after {{TRT}} failed to catch it with their net electrified.

In ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'', Kyogre was out in the ocean near [[Monsu Island]] where its appearance caused a {{a|Drizzle|heavy downpour}} and strong winds. Using the Red Orb, Archie took control of Kyogre where he had it attack [[Lance's Dragonite]] which Dragonite narrowly dodged the attack and then fought [[Red Gyarados|Gyarados]]. After Groudon appeared which nullified the weather, Kyogre fought Groudon. Because of the interference with [[May's Beautifly]] and [[Brock's Mudkip]], Kyogre was defeated by Groudon's {{m|Solar Beam}} which separated the orbs from Archie and {{AP|Pikachu}}. Despite Archie being saved by Dragonite, Pikachu fell in the ocean and Kyogre, released from the Red Orb, swam underwater to rescue both {{Ash}} and Pikachu. Kyogre resurfaced with the two and both the Blue and Red Orbs went in the sky. With that done, Kyogre returned deep in the ocean.

====Personality and characteristics====
Kyogre's personality is unknown as it was only seen under the control of Archie. However, it is shown to be immensely powerful, causing large storms and almost able to drown [[Monsu Island]]. However, outside of Archie's control, it was shown to save Ash and Pikachu from drowning, which may suggest that it is somewhat helpful.

{{p|Deoxys}} first appeared in ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys' Crisis! (Part 1)]]'' where it emerged from a portal in the sky. As [[Max]] saw Deoxys, he experienced a vision as soon as it went back into a portal.

Later, [[Solana]] investigated a cave as it was where the source of the geomagnetic disturbances that have been going on. She went on her own originally but ended up allowing {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} to tag along since she spotted [[Max]] behind some bushes. At the end of the cave, Deoxys emerged from a portal above a meteorite. It ended up battling Ash, his friends, and Solana. Solana tried capturing Deoxys with her [[Capture Styler]] but failed as it had to be in Normal Forme. Everyone finds out from {{MTR}} that Deoxys was in pain. Max climbed up the meteorite with Meowth and Deoxys up there. Deoxys creates a {{m|Safeguard}} around it, Max, and Meowth. Max found out that during the space flight, it was cold and scared. Deoxys then took the two to [[Deoxys's unnamed world|its world]].

In ''[[AG172|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys' Crisis! (Part 2)]]'', Deoxys continued telling Max its story. After Ash and the others returned to the cave, Deoxys came out of its world. Everyone evacuated the cave as the meteorite was overloading with energy while Deoxys went back in its dimension. Deoxys emerged from the portal with Max and Meowth still inside. The group had another battle with it in an attempt for Solana to recatch it. During the battle, Meowth and Max were able to escape the alternate dimension. {{AP|Sceptile}} battled Deoxys to get it to change into Normal Forme. Solana used her Capture Styler to capture Deoxys as it was in its Normal Forme and succeeded. Solana has it use {{m|Recover}} to heal itself and then protects the group from the meteorite's strong blast of energy. With the disturbance gone, Deoxys leaves, hoping to visit the planet even more.

{{p|Hippopotas}} made his first appearance in ''[[DP044|Mass Hip-Po-Sis!]]'', where {{Ash}}, with the aid of {{ashfr}}, rescued the Pokémon from being trapped upon a high ledge. It was then discovered that Hippopotas was lost and he was separated from the rest of the Hippopotas and Hippowdon. Ash and friends helped Hippopotas find his way back to the herd. Like a few other Pokémon, Hippopotas seemed to like to be carried on top of Ash's head.

[[Jessie]] had trouble saying the Pokémon's species name; she and her {{TRT}} fellows attempted to steal Hippopotas for their boss.

Hippopotas's second and final appearance was in ''[[DP065|Sleight of Sand!]]'' with his father {{p|Hippowdon}}. In this episode, [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] also wanted to kidnap the Hippo Pokémon but they failed.

====Personality and characteristics====
Hippopotas was shown to be extremely friendly and trusting of Ash and his friends when he first appeared in ''[[DP044|Mass Hip-Po-Sis]]'', and the reason is because Ash saved Hippopotas when he was stuck on the ledge of a cliff and then gave Hippopotas some food that he had been trying to reach. After Hippopotas was safe and full Ash and his friends continued on, but stopped when they noticed Hippopotas had been following them, and both Brock and Dawn noticed Hippopotas had taken a liking to Ash. In Hippopotas' next appearance ''[[DP065|Sleight of Sand]]'' Hippopotas met up with Ash and his friends once again after getting separated from his friend {{p|Hippowdon}} and he was really sad showing that Hippopotas loves hanging out with his friends.

* Although Hippopotas weighs {{tt|109.1 pounds|49.5 kilograms}} in the games, Ash has no problem carrying him. This is an example of [[anime physics]].

===Azelf===

Azelf appeared in spirit form (much like {{p|Mesprit}} did to {{an|Dawn}} in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage!]]'') to {{Ash}} in ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]''.

Azelf first appeared in its physical form in ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]'', where it was the first to be captured by [[J]] and [[Team Galactic]]. It was then controlled by the team to help fulfill its goal. In ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', after breaking from their control with the help of [[Ash's Pikachu]] and {{AP|Staraptor}}, it helped in stopping [[Cyrus]]'s plot to use {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}.

Azelf also appeared in [[PK21]] with Uxie and Mesprit, serving {{AP|Pikachu}} and his friends some apples.

===Uxie===

Uxie's "soul" appeared to Brock, much in the same way those of {{p|Mesprit}} and {{p|Azelf}} appeared to {{an|Dawn}} and {{Ash}}, in ''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]''

Uxie appeared in its physical form in ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]'', where it, along with Mesprit, came to [[Lake Valor]] after Azelf was captured. However, it was also captured by [[J]] and [[Team Galactic]], but before it was captured, it used {{m|Future Sight}} with Mesprit, destroying her ship later on. It was then controlled by the team to help fulfill its goal. In ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', after breaking from their control with the help of [[Brock's Croagunk]] and [[Ash's Gliscor]], it helped in stopping [[Cyrus]]'s plot to use {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}.

Uxie also appeared in [[PK21]] with Azelf and Mesprit, serving {{AP|Pikachu}} and his friends some apples.

{{p|Zekrom}} first appeared in ''[[BW001|In the Shadow of Zekrom!]]'' hiding in a dark storm cloud. It zapped electricity at {{AP|Pikachu}}, disabling him of using his {{t|Electric}} powers. This was not found out until Ash's first battle with [[Trip]].

In ''[[BW002|Enter Iris and Axew!]]'', Zekrom appeared once more and caused a thunderstorm. The storm hit Pikachu again and he regained his Electric powers.

Zekrom made further appearances in flashbacks.

{{p|Reshiram}} first appeared in ''[[BW110|The Name's N!]]'' in a flashback {{an|N}} had during his time in his [[N's Castle|castle]]. It flew away when the castle was on fire.

It reappeared in ''[[BW118|Secrets From Out of the Fog!]]'' in another flashback while N revealed that he was once a member of [[Team Plasma]]. It was revealed that Reshiram was responsible for burning the castle.

Reshiram made another flashback appearance in ''[[BW120|Ash and N: A Clash of Ideals!]]''.

Reshiram was revived from the {{DL|Dragon Stones|Light Stone}} in ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]''. Following the revival, [[Colress]] zapped it with his machine and [[Ghetsis]] took control of it. Because of {{AP|Pikachu}} and Reshiram rebelling against the machine, Colress and Ghetsis lost control of Reshiram. Before Reshiram flies off, N stopped it and said that he always wanted to meet it. N asks Reshiram how it felt when it saw everyone battle against evil in the ruins and silently responded to him by looking at him.

N also asked if it could believe in humans as they believe in Pokémon. The world of truth that Reshiram wants and the ideal world for humans. N tells Reshiram that just like it, he will keep fighting for the ideal world that everyone can live in. Reshiram accepted N's request and flew away peacefully into the sky.

====Personality and characteristics====
Reshiram's personality is largely a mystery as it was only seen in flashbacks and under the control of Ghetsis. However, it appears to have a close association with N, and it is able to effectively commune with him.

{{p|Malamar}} first appeared in ''[[XY019|A Conspiracy to Conquer!]]''. Unlike most [[wild Pokémon]], this Malamar is an independently evil being who conspires to change the face of [[Pokémon world|the world]]. It hypnotized an [[Officer Jenny]] who went to investigate at a radio observatory. As a result, she became Madame X. Together, the two went to a dark cave where {{TRT}} were and hypnotized them, save for {{MTR}}, who quickly slashed up his own face with {{m|Fury Swipes}}. With Team Rocket in tow, Malamar found the whereabouts of {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} by a tree. It took Pikachu with them and forced him to be under their control. By the time Ash, his friends, and Meowth arrived in the observation chamber of the radio observatory, Malamar cruelly took control of {{an|Clemont}}, {{an|Bonnie}}, and {{an|Serena}}. The [[List of Clemont's inventions|Automatic Pikachu Retrieving Device]] that Clemont built earlier entered the observatory and crashes into Malamar, breaking its control over everyone it hypnotized. Officer Jenny went back to normal and explained what happened. Malamar revealed that it tricked them into believing that Madame X was a real person and it was using her as its pawn. Malamar also revealed that Madame X's goal of taking over the world was a lie and hopes to reconstruct the world using a mind control machine. Angered at Malamar's lies and dishonesty, Ash, Officer Jenny, and the gang went after Malamar who led them to a room containing the system of great significance. Since everyone saw what Malamar was doing, it destroyed the weapon that it was building and fled.
[[File:Malamar XY054.png|thumb|250px|left|Malamar with its two fellow Malamar]]
Malamar reappeared in ''[[XY054|Facing the Grand Design!]]'' where it had recruited two other Malamar in a plan to distort the world using energy crystals. Malamar and the other two hypnotized the top scientists in Kalos to build the energy crystals. Afterwards, they stole three delivery trucks and recklessly drove them with the crystals to the [[Grace Tower]] to get their plan in action. When Team Rocket went to the top of Grace Tower, the Malamar trio spotted them after {{TP|James|Inkay}} became furious at the one particular Malamar for what it did to them previously. Malamar was unable to find the Team Rocket trio after they fled.

Malamar discovered the trio along with Ash, his friends, and the Officer Jenny who it had hypnotized before. The three of them caught Ash, his friends (with the exception of Clemont), [[Jessie]], and Officer Jenny by keeping them frozen in the air through {{m|Psychic}}, leaving Clemont, Meowth, [[James]] and Inkay to save the day. Malamar and the other two were defeated after being subdued by James's Inkay, a group of good Malamar and other wild Inkay who James and Clemont had brought to help, their crystals were deactivated by [[Officer Jenny's Manectric]]. Despite their defeat and Officer Jenny pointing it out, all of the crystals combined into one and the evil Malamar went in them as a method of escape, allowing all three of them to avoid capture and thus destroying any evidence of their plan. Before they left, they claimed they were heading into the future but swore they would return to fight once more and their plan would succeed someday.

====Personality and characteristics====
Unlike most Pokémon, Malamar is a cruel and evil Pokémon with a mysterious dark past. Though there have been many mischievous, manipulative and misunderstood Pokémon in the series, the wild Malamar are unique for being one of the only to seek world dominion without any known human influence. Malamar had no trouble with its plans for world domination as it hypnotized people and Pokémon to do its bidding. However, Trainers with a strong bond with their Pokémon such as {{Ash}} with {{AP|Pikachu}} and [[James]] with {{TP|James|Inkay}} are able to break free of Malamar's hypnotic control, or by pain as seen in Meowth's case, snapping out of it by {{m|Fury Swipes|scratching}} himself - or others such as Ash - repeatedly in the face. The three evil Malamar are shown to be psychopaths for they showed no signs of remorse, guilt, or redemption after their plans were stopped by Ash and his friends. They're also shown to be very merciless when their leader brainwashed several Pokémon, Ash's friends, Team Rocket, Pikachu and Officer Jenny and forced them to attack Ash and Meowth without any decency or mercy. They even lack the sense of honor and morality when they refused to accept defeat or learn from their previous mistakes.

[[File:Goodra and Wooper.png|thumb|250px|left|Wooper and Goodra]]
Prior to the events of ''[[XY055|A Slippery Encounter!]]'', Wooper was close friends with a lone {{AP|Goomy}} who lived in [[Kalos Route 14|the wetlands]]. The two were very happy together and often played with the rest of the Pokémon in the wetlands. One day, while Wooper and {{p|Goomy}} were playing together in a lake, the wetlands were invaded by a {{p|Florges}} and her {{type|Bug}} and {{type|Poison}} army. During the chaos, Wooper became separated from its friend Goomy as Goomy landed on a fleeing {{p|Swanna}}.

Wooper made its first onscreen appearance in ''[[XY069|Defending the Homeland!]]'' where it got to reunite with Goomy who was now a {{p|Goodra}}. When Goodra, who remembered all the good times it had with it, called loudly for its friends, Wooper recognized its voice and was the first to go find it. When it saw Goodra, it approached Goodra and was happy when Goodra recognized it. The other Pokémon then came out to greet Goodra. Wooper had a happy reunion with Goodra, but this was cut short when Swanna warned then about Florges's arrival.

Florges's army attacked once again. Goodra was able to get Wooper and its friends to fight back, and Goodra bested Florges in the battle. After the fight, when Goodra was recovering from a surprise attack, Wooper stayed with Goodra to watch it recover. During the nighttime, an {{p|Ariados}} kidnapped Wooper, {{AP|Pikachu}}, and {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} while they were sleeping.

In ''[[XY070|Beyond the Rainbow!]]'', Wooper was placed in a special cage. It saw that Florges was holding her weakened child. Wooper, along with Pikachu and Dedenne tried convincing Florges that {{TRT}} was lying but {{MTR}} cutted them off by accusation. After Ash, {{an|Bonnie}}, and Goodra found and confronted Team Rocket, Florges attempted to attack after hearing the truth but Team Rocket escaped on their [[Team Rocket's mechas|mecha]] taking with them the cages containing Wooper, Pikachu, and Dedenne, and the stolen spring water. Wooper was found on the back of Team Rocket's airship. It was freed after {{TP|Jessie|Pumpkaboo}} accidentally slammed into the panel. After defeating Team Rocket, Goodra placed Wooper on a {{p|Yanmega}} to escape the falling airship.

Wooper was then seen interacting with the other Pokémon after {{p|Floette}} became fully healed. Goodra was then told to stay behind with Wooper and the other Pokémon in the wetlands since it belonged there and it was no longer a Goomy. Thus, it could protect the other Pokémon from future dangers.

Wooper made a brief appearance in ''[[XY112|Master Class is in Session!]]'' and ''[[XY113|Performing a Pathway to the Future!]]'', watching {{an|Serena}}'s Master Class [[Pokémon Showcase]] along with Keanan and the other wetland Pokémon.

====Personality and characteristics====
Wooper was a very close friend of a single Goomy and was almost always with it during its time in the wetlands. It appeared to be the closest friend of Goomy, as the two would often happily play together along with the other Pokémon in the wetlands. Much like Goomy, Wooper is very playful and friendly.

Due to it being especially close to Goomy, Wooper was the first to recognize {{AP|Goodra}} when it had returned, now fully evolved. It was also the first to approach it, despite warning from the other Pokémon in the wetlands. It also stayed with Goodra while it was recovering from a surprise attack caused by Team Rocket.

In the end she was defeated by Goodra's Ice Beam. She did this to protect a Floette, and joined forces with Team Rocket. She reappeared in ''[[XY070|Beyond the Rainbow!]]'', where she learned of Team Rocket's deception and teamed up with Goodra to help defeat them.

In the past, Litten was rescued by an aging wild {{p|Stoutland}}, and the two began to live together. However, the Stoutland soon became too old to search for food by itself, leaving Litten to do the gathering.

This Litten first appeared in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'', relaxing on the beaches of [[Melemele Island]] before it was accidentally stepped on by {{Ash}} when he was racing with {{AP|Pikachu}}. Litten, in anger, attacked Ash with Ember and walked off. Litten was later seen in [[SM004]], being fed by an old lady in a marketplace on the beach, where it saw [[Ash's Rowlet|a wild Rowlet]] carrying off a wind chime.

In [[SM007]], Litten approached Ash and Pikachu in an attempt to get something to eat. When Ash offered it a piece of the sandwich he was going to have for lunch that day, Litten stole the larger portion and ran off, only to be stopped and foiled by an [[Regional variant|Alolan]] {{p|Persian}}. Annoyed by Litten's trickery, Ash promised to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} Litten. The next day, Ash and Pikachu saw Litten being attacked by the previous Alolan Persian and stopped it. Litten, despite being on the verge of collapse, protested against being brought to the [[Pokémon Center]], biting and scratching Ash all the way there. After being treated, Ash brought Litten to Kukui's house, but it managed to escape in the middle of the night. Ash, Pikachu, and [[Rotom Pokédex|Rotom]] followed Litten to an abandoned house, where they discovered that Litten had been gathering food for an old Stoutland. Having learned this, Ash decided to give up on capturing Litten, leaving it to care for its caretaker. Suddenly, the group was attacked by the Alolan Persian from earlier. Ash had everyone leave the house, where Pikachu and Litten then started battling the Persian. Litten eventually defeated Persian, and successfully protected Stoutland. The next day, Ash discovered that Litten and Stoutland had relocated. After being assured by the old lady of the marketplace that Litten was doing fine, Litten appeared from behind her to grab the fruit she had prepared and ran off into the distance.

====Personality and characteristics====
Litten is a stubborn Pokémon that tends to keep its emotions and motives hidden. Its closest friend is an old {{p|Stoutland}} that once helped it when it had lost consciousness. Litten has been seen training itself with Stoutland's guidance.
Litten has a very close relationship with Stoutland, and deeply cared for it, as evidenced by Litten's dreams about it.
Litten has difficulty getting close to humans, but seems to get along well with the old lady of the marketplace, often visiting her when it needs food.

A {{p|Tapu Koko}} appeared in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'', in which it gave {{Ash}} a [[Z-Ring]] equipped with an {{DL|Z-Crystal|Electrium Z}}. It reappeared in ''[[SM002|The Guardian's Challenge!]]'', in which it challenged Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} to a battle. It taught them how to use the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Gigavolt Havoc}} and fled after the Z-Crystal shattered from use.

Tapu Koko reappeared in [[SM009]], where [[Hala]] revealed that the Z-Ring it gave to Ash was stolen from him. It then watched Ash's battle against a {{p|Yungoos}}, a {{p|Gumshoos}}, and the [[Totem Pokémon|Totem Gumshoos]] at [[Verdant Cavern]]. The [[SM010|following day]], it watched Ash's Grand Trial Battle with Hala. After Ash won, Hala was about to give him a Fightinium Z as proof of his victory, but Tapu Koko quickly stole the Z-Crystal and replaced it with another Electrium Z.

{{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} met Bewear after they got lost in a forest chasing after a {{p|Grubbin}}. Ash and Pikachu greeted it with a smile, but panicked and ran off upon seeing Bewear destroying trees nearby in joy. Bewear eventually lost the two after [[Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime#Tapu Koko|Tapu Koko]] distracted it and it sighed sadly.

Bewear met [[Jessie]], [[James]], {{MTR}}, and {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} in [[SM003]], taking them away from battle and to its den in the forest. [[SM004|The following episode]], after Jessie catches {{TP|Jessie|her Mimikyu|Mimikyu}}, Bewear proceeds to give them some honey before heading off. A tribe of wild {{p|Pikipek}} and {{p|Trumbeak}} soon came and stole all of the Berries in Bewear's den, so {{TRT}} agreed to not only catch the Pokémon, but return the Berries to Bewear out of gratitude for what it did for them.

Bewear has since been seen dragging Team Rocket away from a battle before they could be sent blasting off, even going as far as to perform seemingly impossible feats like running on water to rescue them during [[SM005]] and jumping across rooftops in [[SM006]].

====Personality and characteristics====
Bewear is a friendly and very hospitable Pokémon. After bringing {{TRT}} into its den, it began sharing the food it gathered with them and their Pokémon, and allowed them to stay. Bewear is very protective of Team Rocket, but its rescues can be unreliable. In [[SM012]], Bewear even "rescued" the trio just before they were going to defeat Ash and his Pokémon in a fair fight. Bewear's hospitality towards Team Rocket was also shown in [[SM011]], where it was happy to lie with and cuddle them on a patch of grass.

As shown in SM012, Bewear likes to keep its den tidy, hefting large boulders above its head to clear them out from the area in front of its entrance.

==Recurring Pokémon that have been caught==
Five Pokémon that recurred in the anime were later caught, three by {{Ash}}, one by {{an|Clemont}}, and one by [[Jessie]].
* An {{AP|Aipom}} began following the group through the [[Kanto]] region, and was caught three episodes later by Ash in ''[[AG182|Channeling the Battle Zone!]]''. She had a habit of taking [[Ash's hat]] from him making him chase her around, sometimes lowering her eyelid and sticking out her tongue at him when he tried to get it back. She was eventually traded to {{an|Dawn}} in ''[[DP055|Throwing the Track Switch]]'' and evolved into an Ambipom in ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]'' under her care.
* Ash also caught a {{AP|Gible}} in ''[[DP157|Gotta Get a Gible!]]'' after helping him to learn {{m|Draco Meteor}}.
* Ash later caught the {{AP|Sunglasses Krokorok|Krokorok}} (which debuted as a Sandile) that had been following him since ''[[BW003|A Sandile Gusher of Change!]]'' in ''[[BW065|Battling the Bully!]]''. He evolved into a Krookodile in ''[[BW092|Ash, Iris, and Trip: Then There Were Three]]'' during his battle against [[Iris's Dragonite]].
* Clemont caught a {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} that was following the group in ''[[XY004|A Shockingly Cheeky Friendship!]]'' which he gave to {{an|Bonnie}} to take care of.
* Jessie caught a {{TP|Jessie|Mimikyu}} in [[SM004]] after it helped {{TRT}} attack Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}}.

'''Gladion''' (Japanese: '''グラジオ''' ''Gladio'') is a character introduced in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. He works for [[Team Skull]]. He serves as a [[rival]] character to the player in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. He is the only character in the games to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''Team Skull''' (Japanese: '''スカルだん''' ''Team Skull'').

==In the games==
Gladion appears in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. He was originally a member of the [[Aether Foundation]] together with his mother, [[Lusamine]], and his sister, [[Lillie]]. However, over time he noticed his mother's obsession with the [[Ultra Beast]]s and realized that she would ruin [[Alola]] if she let Ultra Beasts into the [[region]]. For this reason, he decided to leave the foundation, only telling [[Wicke]] of his departure. Before leaving, he stole one of the three {{p|Type: Null}} created to be a weapon to attack Ultra Beasts.

Upon leaving the Aether Foundation, Gladion had two goals: to stop his mother and to free Type: Null from the helmet that was meant to subdue it. He eventually worked as an enforcer for [[Team Skull]] but was never considered an actual member of the [[Villainous teams|team]].

Gladion first meets the player on {{rt|5|Alola}} as a Team Skull member, but he does not seem to be interested in Team Skull's affairs, unlike the {{tc|Team Skull Grunt|Grunts}} near him. After his second battle with the player, he realizes the player might be able to help him stop Lusamine. After the third battle, he informs the player Team Skull is after {{p|Cosmog}}. Knowing now Team Skull is helping Lusamine get Cosmog back, he tells the player that they should make sure Cosmog is safe. When Lillie gets captured after the player defeats [[Guzma]] in [[Po Town]], Gladion battles the player, and after getting his priorities straight, he takes the player and [[Hau]] to the [[Aether Paradise]] to face Lusamine and save both her and Lillie. Gladion is also encountered on the way to the newly-finished {{al|Pokémon League}} on [[Mount Lanakila]]. He thanks the player for stopping Lusamine and reveals he has removed his Type: Null from its restraint, [[Evolution|evolving]] it into {{p|Silvally}}.

After the player has become the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the Alola region, Gladion has taken over as acting president of the Aether Foundation while Lusamine is away. He may be spoken to at the Aether Paradise's conservatory, where he will give the player a Type: Null of their own.

Gladion is also one of the possible challengers who may appear at the Pokémon League as the player [[Pokémon League (Alola)/Title Defense|defends their title as Champion]].

===Quotes===
;{{rt|5|Alola}}
:''"Are you even taking this seriously?"''
:''"...Enjoying it? You can enjoy Pokémon battling when you put everything you have into it...which clearly you haven't."''
:''"You're <player>?"''
::'''Yeah, that's me''': ''"Hmph. Not very cautious. Even some Pokémon have better sense of self-preservation than you apparently do."''
::'''Nope, not me''' or '''Who?''': ''"Hmm. So you have enough sense to be wary. Not bad."''
:''"I'm Gladion. I fight for my partner, {{p|Type: Null|Null}}, to make it strong. Though most of our time gets used up doing small jobs for [[Team Skull]]."''
:''"Battle me. I won't take no for an answer."''

*Being defeated
:''"How annoying!"''

*After being defeated
:''"Hmph. It's not like me to slip up like that. I've got to keep fighting stronger opponents. Looks like I'm still not ready..."''
::'''Regardless of choice''': ''"That [[Hau|kid]] there. His Pokémon aren't weak. And sure, it's fine to enjoy battling...But this brat...he's just using that as an excuse not to try hard because he can't beat the [[Island Kahuna|kahuna]]. Because he can't beat [[Hala]] when he's serious!"''
:''"Just give it up already. You know you can't beat me. You'll just get your Pokémon hurt for no reason. They're good Pokémon."''

;[[Royal Avenue]]
:''"Hmph. Why do I do this...Every time something brings me down, I end up coming right back [[Battle Royal Dome|here]] again. Come on, Null. Let's go bury our sorrow in the crowd."''

;[[Battle Royal Dome]]
:''"Because Null and I have to make it on our own. And I don't ever want to forget that."''

;Akala Motel ({{rt|8|Alola}})
:''"Get out."''

;{{rt|13|Alola}}
:''"[[Hau|You]] only have one volume, don't you? Haven't you ever heard the expression that silence is golden?"''
:''"Listen, Team Skull is looking for a Pokémon called {{p|Cosmog}}... Do you two know anything?"''
:''"So you do know something. Look... Cosmog isn't even a strong Pokémon. But it has the potential to summon Pokémon so terrifyingly strong that you don't even know. If something like that happened, it would be a disaster for Alola..."''
:''"Protect it! If you do know where Cosmog is or if you do find anything out...just keep it safe! I know I might be working for Team Skull right now, so you may not trust me or care but... I'm going to tell you this just once. You have to protect Cosmog... no matter what!"''
:''"I still don't even understand how Team Skull found out about Cosmog in the first place..."''

;[[Aether House]]
:''"Did I hear that right? It was [[Lillie]] who took Cosmog?! And you all are so useless and weak that now Cosmog is... Lillie is..."''
:'''''"Arghhh! I'll show you how angry you make me!"'''''

*Being defeated
:''"Hmph...How annoying.''"

*After being defeated
:''"That was wrong of me. I shouldn't have dragged you into a meaningless battle like that...But I told you both! I told you that Cosmog would bring disaster to all of Alola! I have to get it back from them!"''
:''"We'll leave from the ferry terminal. You're coming with me whether you like it or not, so the only question is, are you ready to come now, or not?"''
::'''Yes''':''"Good... Then let's go."''
::'''No''': ''"I'll wait for you near the {{isl|Ula'ula}} ferry terminal. Don't make me wait long."''

;[[Malie City]]
:''"Hrmph... So, we're waiting for Hau?"''
::'''Regardless of choice''':''"Yeah, I guess so... He's a pretty interesting kid. I'll give you that."''
:''"Growing up in the great kahuna's shadow and still trying to stand up to Hala as an equal? ...I couldn't do it."''
:''"Officer [[Nanu]]?"''

*After the player defeats Nanu
:''"Don't you dare say a word about this being fun."''
:''"Hmph...So you're not quite as dumb as you are naive."''
:''"It'll be [[Aether Paradise]]."''

;[[Aether Paradise]]
;B1F
:''"Aether Paradise's harbor... We made it this far without running into trouble. But I don't like how quiet it is. You two...stay alert."''
:''"She just will be."''
::'''Regardless of choice''':''"I guess...we take the elevator.''"
:''"Hmph. Just like I thought..."''
:''"Looks like outsiders can't use the main elevator to reach to the lower levels."''
:''"I was afraid this might happen. But still...What a pain."''
:''"We don't have any choice. We have to go up."''

;1F
:''"Like [[Faba|you]] don't know why. You of all people should know everything that happens in the Aether Foundation. Isn't that right, high-and-mighty Branch Chief?"''
:''"Hey, <player>. You know why being a Trainer is so great? Because when you're battling, it doesn't matter if you're a kid or an adult. Everyone's equal in Pokémon battle!"''

* After defeating [[Faba]]
:''"So...As I said, Faba. You of all people know what I'm here for."''
:''"We're in a bit of a hurry, Faba. A lift would be nice."''
:''"<player>, Hau. If you're ready, let's head down. Are you ready?"''
::'''Yes''':''"...All right. Let's go."''
::'''No''':''"...Don't make me wait too long."''

;B2F
:''"...Everything looks the same. I guess it's only been two years, though."''
:''"Don't get too excited, Hau."''
:''"Though I guess it's better than freezing from fear or nerves."''
:''"There are two labs up ahead. I'll check the first lab, Secret Lab A. You two check out Secret Lab B. It's the second lab, down the hall."''
:''"...Just focus, Hau. Think you can do that? We can't trust Faba. I'm sure he's already told half of the foundation about us."''

*If talked to in front of Secret Lab A
:''"It's not here...Don't even think about getting in here. Me and Null...We're more alike than we look. We're both what we were made to be...I was like an ornament to [[Lusamine|my mother]]. Wearing whatever she told me to wear, acting however she wanted me to act... Null was crafted just as carefully. It was made just to battle the beasts. In this room...right here..."''

*After checking the Aether Report about Cosmog
:''"Did you find anything?"''
:''"If you stress it...If you hurt it-is that what you mean? Was that why she ran away with it?"''
:''"Yeah... Faba probably knew this would be a dead end."''
:''"Darn... Did he outsmart us?"''

;1F
:''"Hmph...Even beaten down, old Faba doesn't change, does he?"''
:''"Beat whoever stands in our way. What other choice do we have?"''

*After defeating the first pair of {{tc|Aether Foundation Employee}}s
:''"That's what you get when you go through the trials of the [[Island challenge|island challenge]]. Now that you understand...how about you get out of our way?"''
:''"Let's go."''
:''"You know...I know we aren't friends. But I'm glad you two are here...I remember what you said at the Battle Royal Dome that day, Hau. About how people can achieve more if they do something together. Looks like maybe you were right."''
:''"What's happened to Lillie? Do [[Wicke|you]] know anything?"''
:''"Then that's where I'm going. That's all I need to know."''
:''"Yeah, she's real nice...as long as you don't mean nothing to her."''
:''"That's not stopping me."''
:''"We don't have time for this. Help me out here, <player>."''

*After defeating the second pair of Aether Foundation Employees
:''"Maybe helping one another isn't so bad...<player>! Hau! I leave Faba to you!"''

;Outside
:''"Ngh! So I'm still not strong enough."''
:''"All the days that I struggled alone and lonely... it was all for nothing? Is that it?"''
:''"Please...help Lillie...and save Cosmog! I'll be right behind you..."''

;Mansion
:''"Will you listen to me at least? You mustn't open the [[Ultra Wormhole]]. You cannot let the [[Ultra Beast|beasts]] run wild!"''
:'''''"I'll stop {{p|Nihilego|the beast}}!"'''''
:'''''"My partner Null was born to be a beast killer!"'''''
:'''''"Hau, you take [[Guzma]]!"'''''
:'''''"<player>! Stop the president!!! If we don't, Alola will be flooded with beasts!"'''''

*After defeating Lusamine
:''"What is it?"''
:''"Come on. Let's get out of here. Nothing good can happen here."''
:''"Yes, maybe."''
:''"But there is still a ton we have to do... There's the president and Guzma, who both disappeared into the Ultra Wormhole."''
:''"Not to mention Cosmog and why it stopped moving like that..."''
:''"Even if she is...like that, Lusamine is still our mother. We can't just leave her in the [[Ultra Space|beast's world]]."''
:''"We might be able to reach other worlds if we had Alola's [[Legendary Pokémon]] on our side. The people of Alola worship it, but I don't know if it's even real..."''
:''"We'll take you up on that."''

;Outside
:''"So this is where you were. I found this downstairs."''
:''"It's the {{key|VII|Sun Flute}}{{sup/7|M}}/{{key|VII|Moon Flute}}{{sup/7|S}}. It's apparently an artifact from Alola's past. They say it's to be played under the sun's{{sup/7|M}}/moon's{{sup/7|S}} light."''
:''"The Sun Flute and the Moon Flute. When sounded together, it's said that they can call the {{p|Solgaleo|Legendary}} {{p|Lunala|Pokémon}}... That is, of you believe in old myths, anyway."''
:''"Looks to me like that woman was planning to add the Legendary Pokémon to her little collection here."''
:''"Here. Take this with you."''
:''"It's a [[Master Ball]]. It can catch any Pokémon without fail."''
:''"I'm counting on you to help Lillie. This is the least I can do."''
:''"Deal with this mess. I've got to clean up Aether Paradise."''
:''"I'd wanted to get as far away from this place as I could, together with Null... but in the end, it looks like I ended up right back here again..."''
:''"What was that?"''
:''"Sorry for dragging you into our family mess. Yeah. Our mother does like to do thing on an...extravagant scale."''
:''"I can get you to the next island at least. [[Poni Island]]. I'll wait for you at the docks."''

;B1F
:''"Ready to go?"''
::'''Yes''': ''"All right."''
::'''No''': ''"Then I'll wait here."''

;[[Seafolk Village]]
:''"Poni Island... Almost no one live on it, but you'll find a whole lot of nature to explore here."''
:''"Go. Find the kahuna. The kahuna of Poni Island also protects [[Altar of the Sunne|the]] [[Altar of the Moone|shrine]] where Alola's people worship the Legendary Pokémon. Maybe they will know something that might help you."''
:''"I'm sorry...I wasn't there for you when you needed me. All I could think about back then was finding a way to save Null... That was the battle I was fighting. But now you've found your own battle to fight. I know you can handle it."''

;[[Mount Lanakila]]
* Before battle
:''"I've been waiting for you. To thank you. For what you did for Lillie. For our mother. I appreciate it. Maybe more than you know."''
:''"And the only thing I can offer you in thanks is a great battle. So I'm going to show you my full power...My real full power this time! With the [[Z-Ring]] that old man gave me!"''

*Being defeated
:''"Hmph. There's nothing more to say."''

*After being defeated
:''"You've got good Pokémon. I know what kind of Trainer you are now. And what kind of journey you've been through."''
:''"Lillie wanted me to tell you something. She's looking after our mother at the foundation. She wanted me to tell you...that you're the best Pokémon Trainer in the world, <player>."''
:''"She gave me {{DL|Ether|Max Elixir|this}}. For you."''
:''"Hau's working hard to get stronger, too."''
:''"Hmph...If you two are going to get even stronger, then I guess I can't let my guard down yet."''
:''"I know we aren't friends. But we aren't enemies anymore either. Keep winning. Maybe I'll see you again if you do."''

;Akala Motel (letter; post-game)
:''"Mother, I apologize most sincerely for the actions I took in taking Null and running away. Yet I cannot regret these actions. They were for the sake of the greater good. So, until we meet again..."''

;Aether Paradise (post-game)
:''"So you came..."''
:''"I guess I've got to thank you again for all you've done for my family...Especially...for Lillie. I never knew she could smile like that."''
:''"My mother's desires to reach {{p|Nihilego}}...and what she did in order to achieve that goal...I know she was completely out of control. But that doesn't mean I can't understand it. It was [[Mohn|my father]] that started it. He was the one who first confirmed the existence of Ultra Wormholes and Ultra Beasts."''
:''"But my father...He disappeared during an experiment. Trying to connect to an Ultra Wormhole. All that was left behind was a weakened Cosmog and his papers about Nihilego...Lusamine's obsession with Ultra Wormholes...and her obsession with the Ultra Beasts...I think it was all basically her way of trying to reach him again. That's what I had to believe. To get through it. It's not an apology or anything, but...I hope you'll take {{p|Type: Null|this fellow}}."''
:''"And I'll give you the memory drives that let it's Evolution, {{p|Silvally}}, change its type..."''
:''"This is a different Type: Null. Not the same one that I ran away with...It was kept in Secret Lab A. Its very existence was kept a secret."''
:''"But I think I know you well enough. I think I can trust you to show it to the world. Hmph...Maybe it's time I see a bit more of the world myself...and starting with that Pokémon League, I think. I hear that Alola's got a real strong Champion."''

* If the player's party and PC Boxes are all full
:''"You can't even take Type: Null? How many Pokémon have you collected? I can't even believe you... Fine. Come back when you're ready to take it."''

;{{al|Pokémon League}}
*Before battle
:''"What does a Pokémon Trainer really need to be successful? I guess everyone might have their own answer. But for me...I want the strongest rival for myself."''

*Being defeated
:''"All I have to do is avoid making any more mistakes...After all, I have Silvally with me."''

*After being defeated
:''"Losing can teach you a lot, you know. I learn a lot from it...Losing just helps you see how to get stronger. So I'm glad we did this. That I had a Champion to help me get stronger."''

* Oha Suta Pokémon Division (おはスタポケモン部) - This segment began airing from November 24th, 2014, and covered many aspects of the Pokémon Franchise. The show host Yamamoto would Tweet the day of airing of the next segment. Often a guest would appear, and discuss a particular topic about the franchise, for example, any episode of the Anime.

PkmnTrainerV: /* Done up the Oha Suta Page */ new section

I'd be happy to help out with Project Anime. I'm not very good at writing synopses, but I'll be able to create the character lists for many episodes from Master Quest through Advanced Battle, as well as some Orange Islands episodes and a few Johto Journies episodes. I can also put in errors and dub edits for the episodes. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] 23:50, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm also interested in participating in this project. Specifically, I was wondering if we could add for each episode a "Notes" and "References to past canon" section, similar to the format that the Battlestar Wiki [http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/33 episode guides] have. Other than that, I'm more than willing to provide the usual episode summaries and screenshots. --[[User:Swifty|Swifty]] 13:07, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

I'd be okay, since I can predict when this episode is going to air in the U.S, and I might be right, when I see the episode air, I'll put the actual date in. --[[User:NeverReturn|NeverReturn]]
16:33, 27 February 2007 (GMT)
:Please avoid all predictions or speculative information. Just because you "might be" right doesn't mean you are, unfortunately, and until we are certain of the real date it's best to have no date at all. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 22:58, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

What am I gonna do? --[[User:NeverReturn|NeverReturn]]
16:33, 27 February 2007 (GMT)
:If you want to know what you can do to help this project, I can whip up a to-do list in a while. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 23:08, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Darn it! --[[User:NeverReturn|NeverReturned]]
16:33, 27 February 2007 (GMT)

I'd love to help out. I can check for spelling and grammar errors as well as add an appendices section listing all major episodes where a pokemon is caught, a gym badge is obtained, etc plus I can probably expand on incomplete entries. [[User:CliveKoopa|CliveKoopa]]

== Synopsis ==
Okay, after the lack of reformatting on one tipped me off, I'm noting that there are several articles which had the same summary as can be found on Serebii.net. However, they are apparently being credited to Altomare Latias. Do we have permission to use this work? (Even if we do, they need editing - they came up because the @#$@#()% things don't use the é in Pokémon...) --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 01:01, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm going to start adding synopses and any other information I can fill in; I've just started watching the series recently, and am only up to Episode 6, ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]'', for which I just finished the synopsis. -- [[User:DrGaellon|DrGaellon]] ([[User talk:DrGaellon|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/DrGaellon|contribs]]) 19:20, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

I see a different problem. The synopses seem to have WAY too much text now. [[User:Ht14|''ht'']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 22:45, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

== Quotes ==
I just had an idea... maybe a Quotes section should be added to episode articles, split into subsection for English and Japanese? Sort of like what Pokemopolis has for their episode guides, except with quotes that are significant for any reason, not just for dodginess. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 16:52, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

== Pokemon anime section ==

I would also like to help with this. I could do a Pokemon featured in this episode and battles section. You know like a list of Pokemon used in the episode and the moves and pokemon used in various battles. Unsigned comment by {{u|Slyraccoon007}}
:We already have a list of the Pokémon in the episode. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] [[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|T]]-[[Special:Contributions/Fabu-Vinny|C]]-[[User:Fabu-Vinny/Sandbox|S]] 21:46, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Hello,I'm Sladoled the user and I'd like to join project anime.Please let {{u|Kenji-girl}} know about this.

== Timeline of events notice ==

See the template I added to [[EP001#Major events|episode 1]]. Yes, this is partially to give the users more exposure to that article, since I noticed only a few articles link to it when it's relevant to pretty much all anime articles. Anyway, thoughts or comments on the template, before I add it to more articles and find that everyone hates it or something? --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 19:01, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
:Hmm, I definitely don't hate it, but do you think it's worth the time to put it in on all the articles? The important events for that particular episode are listed there, where they should be. Is it necessary to see all the other events too? --[[User:Greengiant|Greengiant]] 19:45, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
::Well, the idea is that if someone wants the information of the major events of many different episodes, but doesn't know about the timeline, that's the section they'll be looking in for all episode articles. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 22:54, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

==Shortcut Templates==
I created a couple of templates to make typing synopses easier:
*<nowiki>{{AP|Pokémon}}</nowiki> creates a link to Ash's Pokémon, but only shows the Pokémon's name: <nowiki>[[Ash's Pokémon|Pokémon]]</nowiki>
*<nowiki>{{BrockP|Pokémon}}</nowiki> does the same thing for Brock
*<nowiki>{{MistyP|Pokémon}}</nowiki> does the same thing for Misty
*<nowiki>{{TP|Trainer|Pokémon}}</nowiki> does the same thing for any trainer: <nowiki>[[Trainer's Pokémon|Pokémon]]</nowiki>
*<nowiki>{{MTR}}</nowiki> is a shortcut to <nowiki>[[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]]</nowiki>: {{MTR}}
I generally prefer to subst: shortcut templates like these; that way, the final code saved in the wiki is unambiguous.

== I think this Project needs to include more articles. ==

Well, there is no project that has goal on the anime characters, (like [[Ash Ketchum]]) so I think this project should also help on the articles about the pokémon characters, and their pokémon's pages (like [[Ash's Charizard]]), that would make this project so much more useful. I can't see any reason why it should only focus on the episode articles. After all, it's Project Anime, not Project Episodes. What do you guys think about that idea? [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] 15:51, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

== Anime Definitions ==
Should we add anime definitions of [[Pokémon]] and moves? I mean the [[Pokédex]] has identifyed almost every Pokémon and in some epiosdes Brock or someone else identifyed moves. --[[User:Theryguy512|Ryguy]].

== I got an idea for the character pages. ==

Attack used should also include the first use of the move. I will make a fake profile for "Darklord's Rayquaza" just to give you an example:

===Moves used===

* {{m|Fly}}
First used: The hell of heaven in that episode Darklord noticed that he didn't need a helicopter and could just use Rayquaza to fly.

*{{m|Hyper Beam}}
First used: Strong training is a good one It trained for 2 episodes, in this one he get's it when he beats the class.

*{{m|ExtremeSpeed}}
First used: Wow, that's fast Rayquaza noticed it can go so fast, in that episode the Rayquaza went extremely fast after Felk's Fearow.

===Back to the discussion===
So what do you guys think? Would that work? [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] 22:49, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

== Paragrahs ==

I've been noticing that a lot of anime episode articles have long paragraphs in the Synopsis and I find it pretty uncomfortable.

:::By any chance, would you (or anyone else that may answer) know how one usually adds anime pictures?

[[User:Steph|Steph]] 02:21, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
::::You could take the picture and then transfer it from a camera to the computer by USB as you said. I'd save it somewhere. Then, you must log in to the archives. Just log in as you normally would here. Once there, on the sidebar, there will be something that says "upload picture". Now choose a filename and the picture you wish to upload. It's the same with every other picture. I think that's all, as I haven't uploaded anything yet, but am planning to in the near future.

:::::Usually, people take screenshots of the episodes they are watching on their computer (by downloading the episode for instance). Taking a screenshot is as easy as pressing ''Print Screen'' on your keyboard when the image you want appears while the video is playing. This process could of course get a bit complicated if the video doesn't have the right codecs preventing you from taking screenshots. After you you get the image you want, you paste it into any graphic editor (such as Paint on Windows) and save it in .png format.

Not Ash's Pikachu, because he has appeared in every episode except [[Pokémon Chronicles]].There is a problem with Pokémon like [[Paul's Torterra]] as well, as he probably won't appear again. However, you could do this for [[Iris]] and [[Cilan]]'s Pokémon as they will appear again, but when a new region is introduced, remove the ones for Iris and Cilan's, and replace them with the ones belonging to the new [[Ash's friends|travellers]].--[[User:Mkbw50|Mkbw50]] 17:47, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

== list of appearances for each character ==

I think it would be useful to have a list of appearances for each anime character (excluding CODs). For example, the article on [[Gary Oak]] does not currently mention that he appears in the episode ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''. It's not necessarily about adding a summary of each episode to the character summary, we just want to have a bulleted list, like the ones they have on Memory Alpha (yeah I'm a trekkie too). This would admittedly be quite a big job, although we only need to really concentrate on the recurring characters (i.e. those listed in [[Template:Animecharacters]]). What do people think about this idea? [[User:Kidburla|Kidburla]] 10:55, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

== Tense ==

I don't know if this has already been discussed, but are synopses are supposed to be written in present tense, right? And if yes, are they supposed to be written in present tense everywhere, i.e. the "In the anime" section of an article? →'''[[User:Axxonn|ΑΧΧΟΝΝ]][[User talk:Axxonn|fi]][[Special:Contributions/Axxonn|re]]''' 12:38, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

*Jessie: We'll never find our way in this...
*James: This fog is as thick as pea soup....
*Meowth: Except without the little chunks of ham!
*Fog clears, showing them more clearly*

*Meowth: What's that?
*they look up*
*James: It looks like a university!
*Meowth: Or even some kind of school!
*Jessie: Well if it is, it must have some kind of cafeteria!
*A group of fearows rush out*
*Jessie, James and Meowth: *scream and run into prof. Elm's lab* This is for the worst!
*Elm: Is that you, Nurse Joy?
*Team Rocket: eh?
*Elm: Thanks for coming over in such short notice. I guess I shoulda called weeks ago, but I got caught up in my research project.
*Jessie and James: *gulp* derh..
*Elm: You'll find the pokemon we talked about running around the lab somewhere.
*James: Pokemon?
*Elm: Is there a problem, Nurse Joy?
*Jessie: Not a problem in the world!
*James: JESSIE!
*Jessie: *gives James a nudgie* Just be quiet, I'll handle this! *stops* Well, now that Nurse Joy is finally here, what would you like me to do for you?
*Elm: What we talked about on the phone. A complete check up for the Totodile.
*Jessie and James: Totodile?
*Meowth: *jumps in front of camera screaming*
*Jessie and James: Huh? *look round and see Meowth's tail being bit by Totodile*
*Totodile: *looks at them*
*Team Rocket: WHA?!
*Totodile: Totodile. *uses water gun at James' face*
*James: Urgh...
*Jessie: Oh, Silly me! How could I have forgotten that? I'll take it right over to the pokemon center! *grabs Team Rocket and Totodile* Bye Bye!
*Elm: Thanks, Nurse Joy. Great to see ya.
*Misty, Ash and Brock are showing*
*Misty: Urgh, I don't think I can go much further...
*Brock: Me neither...
*Ash: Hey look what that sign says!
*Misty: NEW BARK TOWN!
*Ash: ALRIGHT!

* Oha Suta Pokémon Division (おはスタポケモン部) - This segment began airing from November 24th, 2014, and covered many aspects of the Pokémon Franchise. The show host Yamamoto would Tweet the day of airing of the next segment. Often a guest would appear, and discuss a particular topic about the franchise, for example, any episode of the Anime.
* Hoopa's Appear! Plan (フーパのおでまし大作戦) - A short anime series about {{p|Hoopa}} began airing every Thursday starting on April 23rd 2015.

:::My opinion: It should not be deleted. Nor should it be merged. It does, however, need to be expanded upon a whole lot. The whole PokeGod rumor deal was '''''huge''''' back in {{tt|1998-1999|I realize that most of you guys would be too young to remember this... And I mean no offense by that at all; hey, can't control when you're born, right?}} - at the time my involvement in the fandom was basically limited to occasionally discussing the anime on message boards, and even ''I'' knew of the term. It most certainly deserves its own article, as a major part of fandom during its time.

==Recent Work==
A lot of the recent additions may have brought the article up to higher standards, but much of it is still incorrect. Ah well, guess not every site can be fully-informative. [[User:Redstar|Redstar]] 15:01, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
:Of course a lot of it is incorrect - PokeGods don't exist!
:As for what was considered to be correct among the PokeGods phenomenon, I did extensive research on the subject, determined which were considered by the fandom to be the "leading sites on PokeGod information," checked out some other PokeGod sites also (sometimes having to make use of the Wayback Machine, of course), and took information from there. Of course there were a lot of conflicting "facts," due to the fact that PokeGods were complete made-up bullshit and anyone would just claim whatever tyhey wanted about them, but I took what seemed to be the most commonly-accepted spellings/evolutions/rumors and ''that's'' what I put on the page. (And btw, I don't quite appreciate your veiled accusation on my talkpage that I had made it all up.)
:Though could you possibly point out exactly what you find to be incorrect, so that I can look into it? Specifics will help us become, you know, more informative. [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❄]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|❅]] 18:27, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

:::PokeGods are all fake. Made-up. Bullshit. That doesn't mean that I can't write about it (and even if I did absolutely detest the subject, I'd ''still'' write about it if no one else would, because I am perfectly capable of taking an objective stance in writing).
:::Also, my apologies for saying that you were accusing me of that; I viewed your comment on my talkpage as somewhat confrontational (asking why I was updating it... because, uh, why shouldn't I be?), so, along with your mention here that a lot of it was incorrect, I took "if anywhere other than your head" as a veiled accusation.

::anyone can link any number of Angelfire, Geocities, Yahoo Groups, or assorted horrible late 90s fansites, and the conclusion is the same. '''POKEGODS DONT EXIST.

PokeGods were invented by kids with computers back in the day. they dont exist. i dont want to hear any more about unverifiable claims because you cant verify something that doesnt exist. ive actually got a few "PokeGods" in my Blue version. theyre basically glitches, but we believed a lot of stuff we read on the internet back in the day, and thats what this article is about. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 19:47, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

== Yoshi ==
Should we have an interwiki link to the Super Mario Wiki on Yoshi?--[[User:Purimpopoie|Purimpopoie]] 13:56, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

== Nidogod/goddess ==

Just a little info to adjust the page if you see fit. When I first heard about the Nidogod/goddess it was said that it was only named Nidogod and the way to get it was to somehow get Nidoking and Nidoqueen to hold hands and they would fuse together. I know its all made up non-sense but thought I'd add it since you guys all put that they were supposed evolutions when they were classed(in my area at least) as a fusion.--[[User:Lycos Ex Mortis|Lycos Ex Mortis]] 07:45, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
:Essentially right. There were only a very few codes for NidoGod, with at least one involving a fusion of several Pokemon (Nidoking and Nidoqueen being two of them). In fact, Nidogodess is a late addition the phenomenon, with NidoGod predating it by as much as half a year... Originally, NidoGod was said to be the evolution of both, yet this didn't sit well with people so they came up with Nidogodess to split the lines again. [[User:Slowpokeisgod|Slowpokeisgod]] 23:13, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

==Inaccuracies and incomplete information==
Denryu and Kireihana were not Pokégods. They were some of the first Generation II Pokémon to be released and were posted on websites a lot, but they were never passed off as Pokégods. Maybe these should be removed from the list? It is possible that they were sometimes (although very rarely) referred to as Pokégods, seeing as there were so many rumours out there. Also I've never heard any rumours of a Lunareon or Solareon... perhaps these were Pokégods but they must have been obscure since I never came across them (unlike most of the others).

Also, the sentence "''Some glitch Pokémon were also sometimes referred to as "PokéGods"''" is unneeded. The glitch Pokémon that were called Pokégods have all already been included on the previous lists (174 - Pikablu, 175 - Locustod, 205 - Rainer, 209 - Psybur / Togepi, 211 - Psybird, 213 - Spooky, 224 - Raticlaw, 234 - Sandswipes, 240 - Sapusaur, 245 - Charcolt, 250 - Anthrax / Houou, 254 - Beepin, and 255 - Millenium).

Also, I know of a few well-known ones that aren't listed on the page... anyone think I should add these?:
:- Bruno or Buru (a real Pokémon -- Snubbull -- dubbed as a Pokégod)
:- Pokémaniac (another name for glitch Pokémon #234... perhaps due to its type)
:- Tyranticus, Primator, Psyke, and Wizwar (Pokégods with no canon basis)
:- Luigi (from an April Fools Day joke by Nintendo... not as well known as Yoshi but he was still pretty common)
:- Dimonix (along with other variations of the name... the evolution of Onix (not derived from Steelix))
:- The Unidentified Dragon (supposedly a level 100 Dragon Pokémon found in a cave in the back of the Safari Zone)
Lastly, this isn't as important, but I suggest the spelling of "PokéGod" on this page be changed to "Pokégod". Why? Simply because it was never capitalized that way in the context of the rumours (it was mostly always written as either "pokegod" or "Pokegod"). I think the capitalized one is more consistant and the accented 'e' is a nice touch... but it doesn't look right with the 'g' capitalized (consider the fact that no other terms have the letter following the 'é' capitalized... it's not "PokéDex" or "PokéGear" or "PokéMon", etc.) [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] 23:24, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

:Also, like someone said on the discussion page long ago, this article doesn't even provide the definition of "Pokégod" (differentiating it from a "fake Pokémon", other than mention of fake codes being used to obtain them). The best definition I can think of is "a Pokémon supposedly catchable in the first generation games with a Pokédex number greater than 150". This at least deserves some mention, as it is the key fact in discerning the Pokégods from all other fake Pokémon. I'll edit this article later if no one disagrees. [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] 04:42, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
::From what you've said, you seem to know a lot about Pokégods. Most people weren't part of the fandom way back then, and I think everything you've brought up here should be done. Same goes with what you mentioned in the section below. As for providing a definition, I certainly agree with that. Only thing I'm concerned about is completely removing the note about glitch Pokémon being regarded as them; it doesn't need to be in the same way, but I think it should be noted. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 07:26, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
:::Okay, I did some editing. I added all the ones that I mentioned here.
:::I left Denryu and Kireihana on there, because (as I said before) there were so many rumours out there that it's possible that these 2 Pokémon were considered Pokégods (even though I've never run into such rumours back when the Pokégods were popular or now when looking into them again).
:::I added my definition of "Pokégod" and slightly re-worded the part about the glitch Pokémon.
:::Also I re-added the part about Doomsday being the evolution of Doomsay... someone had it commented out before but I don't see why. [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] 23:53, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
::::I agree with many of your points. I was the one at the forefront of the above discussion to get this page as accurate as possible, so I appreciate someone such as yourself looking into the matter now. Your changes are largely good, though I can see a lot more that should be changed. For instance, several of the PokéGods listed under "PokéGods with no canon basis" do in fact have a traceable origin. [[User:Slowpokeisgod|Slowpokeisgod]] 21:43, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
:::::I'm curious as to which of those Pokégods you're referring to as having canon basis. Yes, their origin is "traceable", but I don't trace it to anything canon. The following were definitely not canon: Millenium, Anthrax, Ruin, Psybir, Psybird, Mysterio, and Apocalypse. Tyranticus, Primator, Doomsay, Doomsday, Psyke, and Wizwar originated from a list of Pokémon numbered 155 to 160... but I think it was all speculation / predictions of "Gold / Silver" Pokémon, so none of that would have been canon either. That leaves only 4... Tricket, Hifishi, Pokémaniac, and The Unidentified Dragon. Pokémaniac (the name) was the name of a real character, yes, but the Pokégod itself had nothing to do with the trainer of the same name. So that leaves Tricket, Hifishi, and The Unidentified Dragon. I get the feeling that the dragon may be based on the giant Dragonite from the anime, but I have no evidence that that is the case. Tricket and Hifishi were purely made up, but they could coincide with the prototype Pokémon Kage no Mushi and Bukū... although I think that that's pure coincedence. [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] 03:57, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
::::::I'm pretty sure Pokémaniac would come from a glitch Pokémon, which may be what Slowpokeisgod is referring to. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 04:00, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
:::::::Yeah, he's glitch Pokémon #234, which has the type listed as Pokémaniac (which is probably how he got his name). I wasn't sure where to put him, the only thing canon about him is the name so the "not canon" section seemed to be the best category for him. [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] 14:35, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
::::::::You're both right on the money: Tricket was inspired by Kage no Mushi, Hifishi by Bukū/Qwilfish, and The Unidentified Dragon by the giant Dragonite from the anime. The Hifishi code was sometimes circulated with the Bukū artwork while The Unidentified Dragon code had an alternate version that clearly referenced the anime episode. The Pokémon included on the 151 - 161 list were first mentioned ''before'' the release of even Red/Blue, meaning the names were in reference to actual Pokémon. They are not strictly PokéGods because the list was circulated months before the phenomenon even began. [[User:Slowpokeisgod|Slowpokeisgod]] 00:30, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
:::::::::Okay, if you want to update those then go ahead. Personally, I've never seen any pictures of any sort circulated with any of those three codes, but it makes sense. Are you sure about that list existing before Red / Blue though? I've seen it before Gold / Silver, but not much earlier than that. Not to mention that none of those names sound anything like any real Pokémon, so I doubt they're based off of anything (even if the list was around before Red / Blue, it's more likely that someone just added those extras to the list). [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] 02:15, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
:::::::::::I've traced the list back to November 29th, 1998 and have reason to believe it's at least a week older than that. The exact origin is not yet clear, but the date alone says a lot. [[User:Slowpokeisgod|Slowpokeisgod]] 10:29, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

==Mist Stone==
That rumour of how to obtain the Mist Stone is unnecessary. The Mist Stone should be mentioned as the stone that supposedly evolves certain Pokémon (some rumours saying it can evolve any Pokémon), but the rumour itself shouldn't be there (if we started listing rumours then we should list rumours for how to obtain each of the Pokégods as well... which would be extremely long (even if we just included the most well-known ones) and I don't think Bulbapedia is the place for that). Not to mention that the rumour that's currently on this page is obscure / not even the most common rumour out there... the one that I have heard of the most is "use the item finder a certain number of times (usually 100 or "on every tile") in Seafoam Islands to find it". [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] 02:33, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
:There were many secret stones rumored with each said to evolve a specific type or even Pokémon. The Mist Stone was just one of many (intended for Pikablu) that eventually became a catch-all. The rumor you mention is indeed the most prominent. [[User:Slowpokeisgod|Slowpokeisgod]] 21:44, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

== PokéGods vs. Pokégods ==

Just replying to the notice at the top of the article. I think the "g" should be changed to lowercase because it could easily offend people who believe in a single God, spelled with a capital "g". Gods in the plural usually are not. [[User:Aggron989|''AGG'']][[User talk:Aggron989|''RON'']][[Special:Contributions/Aggron989|''989'']] 01:25, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

:::I believe in a single God, and this doesn't offend me, because it's more of a purely capitalization thing than a reference to God. [[User:Porygon-man|Porygon-man]] ([[User talk:Porygon-man|talk]]) 05:12, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
::::I see what AGGRON989 is saying. I avoid using "PokéGod" because it's irreverent / somewhat blasphemous, but I don't expect everyone to agree (especially considering that many people see it only as a stylistic thing).

::::But anyway, I do think the name should be changed.
::::1. There was no single/consistent spelling "that the fans used" (there were several different ways it was written, but "pokegods" (no capitalization) and "Pokegods" (capital "P", lowercase "g") were both more common than "PokeGods"). Going by the fan spelling, "Pokégods" isn't any less correct than "PokéGods".
::::This same sort of debate happened on the Missingno. page because there is no single agreed-upon spelling for that either (MissingNo. / Missingno. / MissingNO. / etc.)

::::2. Since there are various fan spellings, I think it makes the most sense to go with the one closest to how it hypothetically would have been spelled in the canon, which would be "Pokégods". You can tell by looking at all the other canon terms that begin with "Poké-". When there is a space after "Poké" then the following word is always capitalized (e.g. Poké Flute, Poké Doll, Poké Ball, Poké Radar, Poké Kid, etc.) but when there is no space then the following letter is never capitalized (e.g. Pokémon, Pokédex, Pokégear, Pokéblock, etc.) The only exception to this that I know about is possibly the old spelling of "PokéManiac", but I don't think that's even an official spelling (my official Red and Blue player's guide spells that word as "Pokémaniac" which is consistent with the other terms...) [[User:Dannyjenn|DNJ]] ([[User talk:Dannyjenn|talk]]) 16:21, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

:::::The fact that it was suggested that the article be moved seemed to indicate to me that neither term was more correct than the other; that's why I brought it up in the first place. If the capital G is definitely correct, I don't see any point in changing the title of the article. Likewise, if the capital G is incorrect, we should probably change it. If it doesn't matter either way, than I do think the g should be lowercase.

::::::I completely agree. If there's any way people could be offended, try to minimize that possibility, but if the most common useage of the term was really with a capital 'g', then I say we keep it. [[User:Geo1088|Geo1088]][[User_talk:Geo1088|Talk]] 17:24, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

Should we add mention of Diancie, Volcanion, and Hoopa, the rumored Event Legendaries of Generation 6? --[[User:PalkiaMaster1|PalkiaMaster (talk) (contributions)]] ([[User talk:PalkiaMaster1|talk]]) 04:11, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

Why is there a request to move this page to another page with the same name? [[User:Geo1088|Geo1088]][[User_talk:Geo1088|Talk]] 11:48, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

== Mewthree and Mega Mewtwo Y? ==

When I google "Mewthree Awakened Mewtwo", I can find many sites nicknaming Awakened Mewtwo/Mega Mewtwo Y as "Mewthree". Since that was way before Megas were revealed, would it warrant a mention in the Fakemon and PokeGods articles?

'''Greninja''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゲッコウガ''' ''Gekkouga'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Frogadier}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Froakie}}. With the {{a|Battle Bond}} Ability, it can {{DL|Bond Phenomenon|transform}} into a special form known as '''Ash-Greninja'''. Greninja with the Ability Battle Bond cannot [[Pokémon breeding|breed]]. Battle Bond is currently Event-Exclusive, and only available for Greninja.

==Biology==
Greninja is a large, bipedal, frog-like Pokémon. Its body and legs are dark blue, with single large white bubbles on its legs and arms and white spots over its eyes. On the sides of each of its upper thighs is a light blue, four-pointed star, which resembles a shuriken. Its back feet have two toes, while its front feet have three toes. Its feet are webbed, and it has a yellow chest and a yellow-and-blue face. It has eyes with white sclera, red irises, and white pupils. A large, projecting dark blue stripe runs down the middle of its head, with projecting light blue stripes in between its large, yellow ears. Its mouth is hidden behind a large, pink tongue that wraps around Greninja's neck and extends outward behind its head.

Greninja moves with the speed and grace of a ninja, using swift movements to confuse its enemies while it slices them up with {{m|Water Shuriken|throwing stars}} made of compressed water; these throwing stars are sharp enough to split metal.

==Trivia==
* Greninja has the highest base {{stat|Speed}} stat of all fully evolved starter Pokémon.
** Ash-Greninja has the highest base {{stat|Speed}} stat of all {{type|Water}} and {{type|Dark}} Pokémon.
* Greninja shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Ninjask}}. They are both known as the Ninja Pokémon.
* Greninja won first place in the Japanese [http://www.pokemon-movie.jp/election/ Pokémon general election 720] (Japanese: '''ポケモン総選挙720''') poll to decide what Pokémon would be distributed at showings of ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'' in Japan.

===Origin===
Greninja is based on a frog, and may have been inspired by horned frogs from the {{wp|Genus|genera}} ''{{wp|Megophrys}}'' and ''{{wp|Ceratophrys}}'' due to the spiked protrusions above its eyes. Its coloration and body shape is similar to the {{wp|splendid leaf frog}}. The bubble-like protrusions on its body may be based on a toad's {{wp|parotoid gland}}s, possibly referencing the traditional myth of {{wp|True toad|toad}}s causing {{wp|wart}}s, though they may also be remnants of Froakie and Frogadier's frog foam. As its species name implies, Greninja is also based on a {{wp|ninja}}. Japanese culture associates frogs and toads with ninjas based on the folk story "The Tale of the Gallant {{wp|Jiraiya}}" (児雷也豪傑物語 ''Jiraiya Gōketsu Monogatari'') about a ninja who can shapeshift into a large toad.

Ash-Greninja's appearance is based on {{Ash}}'s attire in the {{series|XY}}.

====Name origin====
Greninja is a combination of ''grenouille'' (French for frog) and ''ninja''.

Gekkouga is a combination of げこっ ''geko'' (croak) and 甲賀流 ''{{wp|Kōga-ryū}}''. It may also derive from 月光 ''gekkō'' (moonlight), in reference to a popular conception of ninja running through the night or to Greninja's Dark typing, or a combination of both.

Fake Pokémon

2017-01-27T11:34:28Z

PkmnTrainerV: /* Assumptions of real Pokémon */ Kanga is rumoured to evolve depending on gender, not only the male form, also added the presumed pre-evo of Tauros/Miltank

A '''fake Pokémon''' (known commonly as '''Fakémon''' in the fandom) is a non-official {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. There are several ways in which one can be created and enter mainstream knowledge.

Sometimes before the release of a new [[generation]] of [[Pokémon games]], a silhouette of a new Pokémon will be released in [[Pokémon Wonderland]], with the picture shown the following month. In that timeframe, sometimes fans will guess what the Pokémon will look like and draw up their assumptions. Others interpret these assumptions as the actual Pokémon.

In other instances, a false name or evolution of a Pokémon may be invented by a fan before any official release. Other fans, again, interpret these assumptions as fact.

Some assumed Pokémon include:
* Pikablu, the assumed name of {{p|Marill}}
* Assumed [[Eeveelutions|evolutions]] of other types for {{p|Eevee}}
* Mewthree, the assumed successor of {{p|Mewtwo}}
* Nidogod, the assumed [[evolution]] of {{p|Nidoking}}
* Nidogoddess, the assumed evolution of {{p|Nidoqueen}}
* Enpanda, the assumed evolution of {{p|Teddiursa}} with a {{evostone|Moon Stone}}
[[File:Shellbro.png|thumb|right|A fake sprite for Shellbro]]
* {{p|Regigigas}}'s Sky Forme, a forme that was assumed to belong to either Regigigas or {{p|Shaymin}} before its official unveiling. This assumption may derive from the fact that both Regigigas and Shaymin were scheduled to appear in [[M11|the eleventh movie]].
* Porygon3, even after {{p|Porygon-Z}} was revealed, has been assumed to be a more defensive (and less erratic) branched evolution of Porygon2, due to the {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Dubious Disc}}'s dubious origin and Porygon-Z's decreased defenses.
* Shellbro, the assumed evolution of {{p|Shellder}} (usage of a {{DL|Valuable item|Slowpoke Tail|SlowpokeTail}})
* Kangaschan or Kanga, the assumed name of {{p|Kangaskhan}}'s baby, which could evolve into a male or female Kangaskhan depending on Gender.
* A common Pre-Evolution of Tauros and Miltank. The rumour was given more weight recently as Tauros and Miltank occupy the same page in the Alola Pokédex, something usually done with Pokemon in the same evolution Family.

Fake items, with accompanying "methods of obtaining", were invented to evolve regular Pokémon into fake Pokémon. For example, a "Mist Stone" was fabled to evolve every single Pokémon.

===Mewthree===
[[File:Mewthree.png|thumb|250px|left|Mewthree in Pokémon ChaosBlack]]
[[File:Red Clefairy Mewtwo PM.png|thumb|200px|[[Red's Clefairy]] referencing Mewthree in [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]]]
A common example of a well-known fake Pokémon is Mewthree. It appears commonly in fake [[cheating|cheats]] and fan fiction.

Rumors of Mewthree's existence within the [[Pokémon games]] have circulated since the [[Generation I|first generation]]. Many fake methods were created, that were often impossible to perform or resulted in the player deleting their save file. These stories have led to a number of [[ROM hacks]] focusing on this unofficial Pokémon. The most notable of these is {{DL|ROM hacks|Pokémon Chaos Black}}, in which Mewthree can [[Evolution|evolve]] into another fake Pokémon, Mewthree X, similar to, by name, Mega Mewtwo X.

Mewthree was also one of the names given to the silhouette of {{p|Lucario}} early after its release on many internet forums because it appeared strikingly similar to Mewtwo, as well as to Mega Mewtwo Y before it was revealed to be a Mega Evolution of Mewtwo.

Although it was a fake Pokémon, it was given an official mention in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', where the scientists responsible for creating {{OBP|Mewtwo|original series}}, commenting on the success of its creation, decided to start making Mewthree. However, the plans never got beyond this due to Mewtwo's destruction of the lab on [[New Island]].

It was also mentioned in ''[[PM025|Bring Down the Strongest Pokémon!!]]'' of Pokémon Pocket Monsters where {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} called himself Mewthree after receiving {{TP|Blue|Mewtwo}}'s DNA.
{{-}}

==April Fools Pokémon==
Commonly for April Fools pranks, Pokémon websites will create fake Pokémon and attempt to pass them off as recently revealed new Pokémon. These often include some of the commonly assumed fake Pokémon.

Some April Fools Pokémon include:
* [[April Fools' Day 2005|Korechu]], supposedly created for a [[Nintendo DS|DS]] version of [[Hey You, Pikachu!]]
** It coincidentally looks strikingly similar to {{p|Shinx}}.
* Cell-phone {{p|Rotom}}, a supposed new Rotom form created by [[WTPT - Pokémon Radio]]
* {{smw|Yoshi}}, from an issue of {{wp|Expert Gamer}}
* [[April Fools' Day 2005|Chance]], a supposed pre-evolved form of {{p|Chansey}}
** Due to being a supposed pre-evolved form of Chansey, it looks similar to {{p|Happiny}}.

===Other prank Pokémon===
[[File:Shaymin Sky.png|thumb|A fake sprite for the Sky Forme]]
With the leak of {{p|Shaymin}}'s [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Shaymin|Sky Forme]] in name, but without images to back the claim up, PurpleKecleon, a well-known Pokémon artist, created a fake version of this alternate form.

Needless to say, many in the fandom jumped to conclusions about its veracity<ref>[http://eevee.livejournal.com/289857.html fuzzy notepad - Sky Forme Shaymin is fake]</ref>, as the trademark on the terms "Land Forme" and "Sky Forme" had already been verified, while there was heavy evidence that Shaymin would be getting an alternate form. Thus, it became easily the most well-timed prank in the Pokémon fandom.

PurpleKecleon, however, announced the next day in her {{wp|DeviantArt|deviantART}} journal that she had created the fake Sky Forme Shaymin. The real one was leaked some time later in artwork on drink cups from [[Pokémon Festa]].

Kaenchu<ref>[http://kotaku.com/5975401/how-a-phony-pikachu-tolled-japanese-twitter-users Kotaku - How a Phony Pikachu Trolled Japanese Twitter Users]</ref> (Japanese: カエンチュ ''Kaenchu''), supposedly a {{type|Fire}} Pokémon, gained notoriety shortly after {{n|Pokémon X and Y announced|the announcement}} of [[Pokémon X and Y]]. Kaenchu's name derives from the Japanese words 火炎 ''kaen'' (meaning "flame" or "blaze") and チューチュー ''chūchū'' (the sound of squeaking). It was purported to be an [[evolution]] of {{p|Pikachu}}, capable of generating thermal power and unloading hydrogen explosions. At one point, it ascended to the fourth position of the daily trending topics of the website [[wp:Yahoo|Yahoo! Japan]] and was retweeted thousands of times on the social networking website {{wp|Twitter}} before being discovered to be part of a hoax.
{{-}}

==Fanmade Pokémon==
It is not unusual for fans to create their own fake Pokémon for pure amusement, often creating new [[type]]s (such as Sound and Light) and [[move]]s as well. These are usually openly displayed, usually on fanart websites or in [[ROM hacks]], and known about as being fake. Sometimes, however, one may be assumed to be a real Pokémon by another fan, depending upon the skill of the artist and the gullibility of the fan.

==In the anime==
[[File:Venustoise.png|thumb|150px|"Venustoise"]]
[[File:Magquaza.png|thumb|left|200px|Mismagius and Rayquaza fusion]]
In ''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]'', a {{p|Gastly}}, who had the ability to create illusions that were tangible enough to attack people, created a crossbreed of a {{p|Blastoise}} and a {{p|Venusaur}}, calling it a "Venustoise" (Japanese: フシギックス ''Fushigix'').

In ''[[DP043|Malice in Wonderland!]]'', a real {{p|Mismagius}} merged with a dream-made {{p|Rayquaza}}, giving Rayquaza the color palette and some features of Mismagius. It then attacked {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}.

'''Kyurem''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キュレム''' ''Kyurem'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Ice}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation V]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any Pokémon, it has [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Kyurem|two other formes]], which are activated by using the [[DNA Splicers]] on it and either {{p|Reshiram}} or {{p|Zekrom}}, resulting in a process called '''Absofusion''' that removes Reshiram or Zekrom from the party until the fusion is undone. It will then become '''White Kyurem''' (with Reshiram) or '''Black Kyurem''' (with Zekrom). However, it is impossible to own a White Kyurem and a Black Kyurem at the same time legitimately, as the game rejects the second fusion of Kyurem with Reshiram/Zekrom, and Kyurem cannot be [[Trade|traded]] or placed in [[Pokemon Bank]] while fused.

Along with Reshiram and Zekrom, Kyurem is a member of the [[Tao trio]], which exists in the legends of the [[Unova]] region.

As both Black Kyurem and White Kyurem, it is the [[game mascot]] of [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], respectively.

==Biology==
Kyurem is a gray and blue, bipedal Pokémon of indefinable but seemingly draconic basis. Kyurem has a blue head and snout and has yellow eyes without pupils, has a pair of pointed light bluish horns on its head and a yellow crest on its skull. Three pointed teeth jut out the bottom of either side of its jaws, which are frozen shut by the ice covering its head. Its long, gray neck has lines running around its whole body, legs, arms and tail. It has two arms, each with its own claw and each arm is jointed together from its oddly shaped blue wings, which are believed to be used for flying and storing cold air. Each wing has two spikes of ice. The ice covering the wings can break, revealing gray tendril-like appendages on Kyurem's back. The right side of its body seems to be damaged in some way, as the wing and horn on its head on that side are shorter; the right side of its head also has a spiked edge near its jaw hinge that is absent from its left. Its legs are somewhat slender, and has three sharp ice-like claws on each enormous foot. Its tail has three blue conical spikes on its tip, and appears to be some sort of propulsion device or a container of energy; exactly what it is based on is unclear, but it may be a damaged turbine.

Kyurem has two alternate forms, White Kyurem and Black Kyurem, which are formed by combining with {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}}, respectively, and share many aspects of their designs with them. It can use Absofusion on their respective [[Dragon Stones]] to change to White or Black Kyurem. When transformed into either, its legs are just like before, but shorter and the middle toe is now ice. As White Kyurem, it has some extra icy details on the legs. Its tail resembles that of Reshiram or Zekrom, but they are attached to the body with three gray parts of skin. The tail is capable of movement and contains four holes: they are horizontal on White Kyurem and vertical on Black Kyurem. The torsos of each form are similar, but White Kyurem's torso is more slim than Black Kyurem's bulky torso. Its shoulders are covered in 'squares' of ice with two pins protruding from each which can come out and 'plug in' the aforementioned holes. As White Kyurem, it has thin arms with two rings and three claws each, wings between the rings on its forearms, and its right arm and wing are frozen. As Black Kyurem, it has Zekrom's arms, but more muscular and without wings, and its left arm and wing are frozen. Its neck is the same shape, but is now upright; White Kyurem uses Reshiram's fur and Black Kyurem uses Zekrom's skin. In both forms, the ice covering one of Kyurem's jaws (upper for White Kyurem, lower for Black Kyurem) has partially disappeared, allowing it to move its mouth.

Kyurem generates a powerful, freezing energy inside itself, but its body became frozen when the energy leaked out. Due to an old legend, it may be assumed Kyurem may be hostile towards Pokémon and humans, due to the fact it supposedly ate them if they were found outside at night. It is said to be an [[extraterrestrial Pokémon]] according to folklore. Kyurem is the [[Signature move|only Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Glaciate}}, while its alternate forms White Kyurem and Black Kyurem can respectively learn {{m|Ice Burn}} and {{m|Freeze Shock}} instead. White Kyurem and Black Kyurem can also learn Reshiram's and Zekrom's signature moves {{m|Fusion Flare}} and {{m|Fusion Bolt}}, respectively.

* Although several Pokémon are the result of two or more individuals combining ({{p|Dugtrio}}, {{p|Slowbro}}, {{p|Slowking}}, {{p|Magneton}}, {{p|Metang}}, {{p|Metagross}}, {{p|Weezing}}), White Kyurem and Black Kyurem are the only ones to be shown doing so in the [[core series]] games. They are also the only fusions that are not part of a Pokémon's [[evolution]] and are the only fusions which have been shown to be reversible.
* Kyurem is the only Pokémon to be the game mascot of both versions of a paired version.
* Despite being larger when fused, both fused forms are lighter than the Pokémon it's fused with.
* Kyurem has the most separate cries used in-game, with five. It has one for each forme and two longer cries that play in stereo.
* Normal Kyurem's [[Effort values|effort value]] [[List of Pokémon by effort value yield|yield]] of 1 HP, 1 Attack, and 1 Special Attack is unique.

===Origin===
Kyurem and its two counterparts {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} are based on the concept of {{wp|yin and yang}} in {{wp|Taoism}}. Kyurem, however, symbolizes {{wp|Wuji (philosophy)|wuji}}, the absence of yin and yang. In regards to overall design, it appears to be based on a {{wp|theropod}} and a {{wp|European dragon}}, similar to Zekrom. Its arms in particular seem to be influenced by ''{{wp|Tyrannosaurus rex}}''. Kyurem's type, {{t|Ice}}, may allude to the absence of energy and the concept of {{wp|absolute zero}}. Kyurem's rock-like body and its origin story of arriving on Earth like a meteor are references to comets, which are largely composed of ice crystals.

Given that its Japanese name contains mu, it may be based on the {{wp|koan}} {{wp|Mu (negative)|mu}}.

====Name origin====
Kyurem may be a combination of 冷 ''rei'' (cold), 急冷 ''kyuurei'' (rapid cooling), or 雪 ''yuki'' (snow) with the {{wp|kana}} reversed, and 無 ''{{wp|Mu (negative)|mu}}'' (nothing). It may also derive from 零 ''rei'' (zero). ''Rem'' may also mimic the ''rom'' of {{p|Zekrom}} and the ''ram'' of {{p|Reshiram}}.

Talk:Venusaur (Pokémon)

2017-01-24T10:25:49Z

PkmnTrainerV: /* Ken Sugimori and Venusaur */

{{Rotating art}}
== Generation IV sprites ==

The Generation IV sprites have been doubled for some reason; However, it's beyond my current knowledge in regard to fixing this.
--[[User:Marohen|Marohen]]

You mean theres two Sprites of venusaurs and two shiny sprites of venusaur? Well to answer your question, See how one has a seed on its plant? well that's a female venusaur and the one W/O the seed is a male.... (It's called Gender Differences)..... --[[User:Force Fire|Force Fire]] 10:02, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

:Is the shiny ''Crystal'' sprite supposed to have all those black dots? ~[[User:SaturnYoshi|'''$aturn''']][[User:SaturnYoshi|'''¥oshi''']] [[User talk:SaturnYoshi|THE VOICES]] 19:27, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

It's not. Somebody should fix that. [[User:BlueJirachi|BlueJirachi]] 19:30, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, where would those dots even come from? I'm just wondering. --[[User:Hey1031|Hey1031]] 21:18, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
:My guess is that someone just used a poor-quality ripping program, or something... the best solution is probably to re-rip and re-upload it. --[[User:Martonimos|Martonimos]][[User talk:Martonimos|((Argh]]|[[Special:Contributions/Martonimos|Blargh))]] 21:22, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

== Question about trivia ==

I have a question about the trivia. It says that Venusaur has bloodshot eyes in recent 3D games. What does that mean?[[User:Pokemon champ|Pokemon champ]] 07:34, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
:Its eyes goes red.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F''']][[Ho-Oh (Pokémon)|orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F''']][[Lugia (Pokémon)|ire]] 07:47, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
::They only turn red when they're hit by an attack. [[User:Sweekun|Sweekun]]

== Another Question about trivia ==

Is it significant that only Red, Blue, and LeafGreen refer to the flower on its back as "a plant" rather than "its flower", making it sound more like a parasite than part of itself? [[User:PhoenixGraphix|P]][[User_Talk:PhoenixGraphix|G]][[Special:Contributions/PhoenixGraphix|™]] ([[Darkrai|bleh]]) 01:14, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
:Not really. Plants and flowers are pretty much the same thing. It doesn't come across parasitic to me, which makes this an opinionated trivia.... i.e. a bad piece of trivia. — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 03:34, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

== Likely Connection? ==

I was on Archives when I noticed the Venusaur's FR/LG front sprites in many ways another version of its orginal artwork from Red & Blue. Who thinks that there could be a connection? [[User:Spritemaster|Spritemaster]] 00:05 26 August 2009 (UTC)

==Edit Request==
New Pokedex entry, Gold and silver EP248 'Venusaur, the Seed Pokemon. Venusaur uses its large petals to capture sunlight and transform it into energy. (Ash's Pokedex) Please and thank you. {{unsigned|Littlmiget123}}

==The 'In the anime' Picture==
I'm sorry to say, but I think that the picture in the anime section isn't very good. Venusaur is standing on its hind legs, something which most Venusaurs do not do. I found a couple pictures on the archives that could fit. This image [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Spenser%27s_Venusaur.png] seems to be the best picture, though, since it is .png.

:I'm asking so I can be nice to the person who uploaded the image. If I don't get a responce, I'm going to switch the photos with the one above. [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 22:27, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

==HeartGold/SoulSilver Sprites==
We have the moving sprites for these images, is there a reason they are not being used? If there is no reason, can someone please put them in place of the static ones. [[User:CoolDudeAl|CoolDudeAl]]

== Trivia mascot ==

Hi I just wanted to ask that here first before I change the actual site, but someone could mention that as Venusaur's german name is Bisaflor and the german name of the LeafGreen game is Blattgrün, it is one of the pokemon who share their initial with the pokemon game of which they are the mascot. Just wanted to know if that is useful {{u|Wuruhi}} 01:44:30 July 6 2010

== More Mascot Trivia ==
Corect me if I'm wrong but isn't Venasaur the only pokemon to mascot two version games (Green and LeafGreen)? [[User: EpicShadow|EpicShadow]] 9:03, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
:There's also Charizard, Lugia, and Ho-Oh so basically the mascots of any games which have remakes.--[[User:MisterE13|Mister]][[User talk:MisterE13|'''E''']][[Special:Contributions/MisterE13|13]] 15:55, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

== Red and Green ==

Why are we using the Venusaur picture from [[Red and Green]]? Why not [[FireRed and LeafGreen]].
([[User:Holonboy|Holonboy]] 17:33, 1 September 2010 (UTC))

== Sprite Trivia? ==

I noticed there's sprite trivia regarding the subtle changes in Venusaur's skin over the generations. I thought we were trying to avoid this? I didn't want to remove in case it was notable, but I'm pretty sure it's been removed before . . . [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal Talian]] 08:52, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
:Yeah, that doesn't need to be there. Removed. [[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 08:56, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

==Notability==

"Venusaur is the first fully evolved Pokémon in National Pokédex order." Is that really notable?

:Probably not. [[User:Spirit of your Computer|Spirit of your Computer]] 13:21, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

== Venusaur is a toad! ==

Just because of it's ears and basic evolution doesn't mean it's not a toad. Wartortle and Blastoise have ears too! Poliwag, Poliwhirl, and Poliwrath are all tadpoles and Mudkip, Marshtomp, and Swampert resemble basic axolotls.[[User:Bennell|Bennell]] 20:54, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
:Venusaur is a plant, not a toad. [[User:Spirit of your Computer|Spirit of your Computer]] 13:20, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

== Name ==

What is insulting about the name "Venusaur", that it cannot be traded on the GTS in English? I am legitly confused here--[[User:Darknesslover5000|Darknesslover5000]] ([[User talk:Darknesslover5000|talk]]) 23:55, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

== Type effectiveness and Mega Venusaur ==

I separated the type effectiveness table for Venusaur and Mega Venusaur, for consistency with other pages (such as [[Gengar]] and [[Sceptile]]). Does anyone know how to insert a note about the new effectiveness of Fire- and Ice-type moves if the opponent has Mold Breaker and the likes? [[User:Loudo|Loudo]] ([[User talk:Loudo|talk]]) 17:51, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
:There's no "yes" switch for Thick Fat, only "maybe" (since everything else has Thick Fat as one of their Abilities, instead of being their only). The same for Mega {{p|Aggron}}'s Filter. [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 18:09, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

==Base Stat Total==

Is it relevant that Venusaur, Meganium, and Torterra all have the lowest base stat total of all fully evolved starters? [[User:UmbralHero|UmbralHero]] ([[User talk:UmbralHero|talk]]) 02:36, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

== Ken Sugimori and Venusaur ==

According to this Japanese [https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&u=http://dic.nicovideo.jp/a/%25E3%2583%2595%25E3%2582%25B7%25E3%2582%25AE%25E3%2583%2590%25E3%2583%258A&prev=search Page] :

That although Ken Sugimori said he dislike Venusaur because it's complicated to draw, but in Pokemon XY strategy Book he mentioned that Venusaur is one of his favorite Pokemon.

Since i don't read/speak Japanese and that page is translated by Google, someone could confirm this please?

Here's the quote if you don't want to visit the page:

''Ken Sugimori who is in charge of Pokemon 's character design seems to dislike Fushigibana on the grounds that "it is hard to draw because of many lines". However, in XY 's strategy book , it seems to be somewhat different except for drawing it because he mentioned Fushigibana as a favorite Pokemon.''
:This is in no way contradictory as one can like a Pokémon for how it looks or what it is and at the same time not like to draw because it has too many lines. --[[User:Raltseye|Raltseye]] [[User talk:Raltseye|prata med mej]] 01:07, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

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

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

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

Pikachu participated in Ash's first Gym battle with {{an|Brock}} in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]''. He faced {{TP|Brock|Onix}}, but his {{type|Electric}} attacks were ineffective. Onix then started {{m|bind}}ing Pikachu. Seeing no other option, Ash forfeited. Ash and Pikachu later trained with {{ka|Flint}} in order to increase the strength of Pikachu's Electric-type moves. Ash later challenged Brock to a [[rematch]], where Pikachu managed to defeat [[Brock's Geodude]] thanks to his training. Pikachu then faced Onix again. Onix was able to Bind Pikachu once again, but this time Pikachu's Electric-type attacks dealt quite some damage. However, despite their training, Pikachu was still unable to defeat Onix, who was tightening its grip on Pikachu. As Ash was about to forfeit again, Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}} managed to turn on the gym's sprinkler system, severely harming Onix. As Ash was about let Pikachu finish Onix off, he was stopped by [[Brock's siblings]] and he decided to forfeit again. Despite Ash forfeiting the match, Brock still gave him the {{badge|Boulder}}.

[[File:Ash Pikachu wounded.png|thumb|left|220px|Ash rushing Pikachu to the Pokémon Center]]
Pikachu's next major battle was in Ash's [[Vermilion Gym]] battle against [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]] in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]''. [[Lt. Surge]] laughed at Ash for attempting to defeat his Raichu with its pre-evolved form, angering Ash and Pikachu. Pikachu started off using {{m|Thunder Shock}} which seemed to do nothing to Raichu. Raichu then used its own Thunder Shock, which was much more powerful than Pikachu's attack, and dealt much damage. Following advice from Brock, Ash tried recalling Pikachu and forfeit. Pikachu, however, was determined to defeat Raichu and kept fighting. While trying to attack, Pikachu got overwhelmed by Raichu's {{m|Mega Punch}} and {{m|Mega Kick}} and was finally defeated by a powerful Thunderbolt. Due to all the damage he had taken during the battle, Pikachu had to be hospitalized. Later in the episode, Ash offered to let Pikachu evolve into a Raichu with a [[Thunder Stone]] that Nurse Joy had given him. However, Pikachu refused, wanting to defeat Raichu on his own terms.

Later, Ash challenged Lt. Surge for a rematch, where Pikachu once again faced Raichu. Trying to get close, Pikachu got smacked to the ground by Raichu's tail, followed up by repeating hits from its tail. Raichu then hit him hard with {{m|Body Slam}}. As Raichu was about to finish him off with another Body Slam, Pikachu managed to get up and dodge it. Ash soon found out that since Raichu was evolved so early, it did not learn any of the moves that it could only learn as a Pikachu, such as {{m|Agility}} and {{m|Quick Attack}}. Through his use of these moves, Pikachu managed to gain the upper hand and dodge Raichu's attacks. Raichu responded with an extremely powerful Thunderbolt attack that Lt. Surge was sure could defeat Pikachu. Pikachu, however, used his tail as an anchor to absorb the shock. Raichu tried using Thunderbolt again but due to its previous attack it had run out of electricity. It then tried to hit Pikachu with a {{m|Take Down}}, but was outsped by Pikachu's Quick Attack. Pikachu then used his tail to slam Raichu and defeat it, earning Ash the {{badge|Thunder Badge}}.

In ''[[EP022|Abra and the Psychic Showdown]]'', Pikachu was sent out to battle against [[Sabrina's Abra]] during Ash's [[Saffron Gym]] battle. It proved to be a tough foe, using {{m|Teleport}} to avoid Pikachu's Thunder Shock. Abra then suddenly evolved into Kadabra, making it much stronger. Pikachu tried filling the battlefield with lightining to prevent Kadabra from using Teleport, but Kadabra countered with {{m|Confusion}} to send the attack back at Pikachu. Kadabra then used {{m|Psychic}} to control Pikachu's body and started to repeatedly smash him into the ceiling and back down. Unwilling to see his friend suffer even more, Ash forfeited the match.
In Ash's rematch with [[Sabrina]] in ''[[EP024|Haunter versus Kadabra]]'', Pikachu selflessly fought Kadabra, since {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}} didn't show up and his other Pokémon were too terrified. Pikachu used Thunder Shock, which Kadabra avoided using Teleport. After taking a hit from Kadabra's {{m|Psybeam}}, Pikachu unleashed a powerful Thunderbolt which dealt major damage to Kadabra. Kadabra, however, quickly used {{m|Recover}}, negating the damage it had taken. At that moment Haunter appeared and made Sabrina and Kadabra laugh. As both Sabrina and Kadabra were unable to continue the battle, Ash was declared the winner which earned him the {{badge|Marsh}}.

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

In ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]'', Ash and {{ashfr}} ran into a group of {{pkmn2|wild}} Pikachu, which was a very rare find. Pikachu tried to make friends with the other Pikachu, but received a lukewarm response. After saving a baby Pikachu from falling down a waterfall, Ash's Pikachu was accepted by the group. Ash was overjoyed by this at first, but soon began to feel sad, because he thought that Pikachu would be better off with the rest of his kind. After stopping Team Rocket from poaching his Pikachu and the wild Pikachu, Ash decided it was best to leave Pikachu behind with the others. Pikachu refused to leave Ash, however, and quickly ran to catch up with him, followed by the wild Pikachu, who supported Ash and Pikachu being together.

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

In ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', Pikachu was Ash's last Pokémon used in his seventh Gym battle at the [[Cinnabar Gym]], where he faced off against [[Blaine]]'s {{p|Rhydon}}. Pikachu used his fast movements to dodge Rhydon's {{m|Fury Attack}} and then used Thunderbolt, which was ineffctive. Despite being immune to Electric moves, Rhydon was defeated when Pikachu aimed his Thunderbolt attack at the horn on Rhydon's head. Pikachu then faced [[Blaine's Magmar]]. Pikachu tried dodging Magmar's {{m|Fire Punch}} the same way he had dodged Rhydon's Fury Attack, but got hit. Pikachu then tried hitting Magmar with an Electric-type attack, but it proved to be ineffective due to Magmar's Air Lens ability, which heated the air surrounding Magmar, making Electric-type attacks ineffective. Magmar then attacked with a series of Fire Punches, driving Pikachu to the edge of the battlefield. Magmar then unleashed its {{m|Fire Blast}}, which managed to push Pikachu back and almost caused him to fall of the battlefield in the lava. Ash then decided to forfeit the match.

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

Pikachu made friends with another Pikachu, [[nickname|named]] [[Puka]], in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]''. This particular Pikachu had blue eyes and was an excellent surfer. Ash and his friends had to save both Pikachu when Team Rocket tried to steal them both.

Ash used Pikachu many times during the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]]. In ''[[EP076|Fire and Ice]]'', Pikachu fought against [[Pete Pebbleman]]'s powerful {{p|Arcanine}}. Pikachu started off using Agility to confuse Arcanine, but this strategy was countered by Arcanine who melted the ice field using its Fire Blast, causing to whole battlefield to become one big pool of water. Pikachu, however, used this to his advantage by using the water to conduct his electricity and managed to defeat Arcanine with Thunderbolt.

In ''[[EP077|The Fourth Round Rumble]]'', he fought against [[Jeanette Fisher]]'s {{p|Bellsprout}}, who already had defeated [[Ash's Bulbasaur]]. Pikachu tried using Thunder Shock, but Bellsprout dodged and used {{m|Razor Leaf}}. Managing to avoid Razor Leaf, Pikachu used Thunderbolt, but it was ineffective since Bellsprout used its roots to conduct the electricity to the ground. Pikachu then engaged in hand-to-hand combat with Bellsprout, but despite trying his best, he was easily defeated by the skilled Pokémon's {{m|Slam}}.

Pikachu later faced off against Happy, [[Ritchie]]'s {{p|Butterfree}}, in ''[[EP079|Friend and Foe Alike]]''. Despite being exhausted from battling Team Rocket earlier, he still wanted to participate in the battle. Pikachu started off with {{m|Double-Edge}}, knocking Happy to the ground. As Happy tried flying up, he held on to it and defeated the Butterfly Pokémon with a Thunderbolt. He then faced off against [[Zippo]], Ritchie's {{p|Charmander}}, but due to being exhausted by all his battles, Pikachu was quickly overwhelmed by Zippo's {{m|Flamethrower}} and was knocked out by its {{m|Tackle}}.

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

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

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

In ''[[EP099|The Mandarin Island Miss Match]]'', Ash used Pikachu in a battle against [[Lorelei]]{{tt|*|Referred to as Prima in the dub}} of the [[Elite Four]], where he faced her {{TP|Lorelei|Cloyster}}. Pikachu started off with Thunderbolt, but Cloyster used {{m|Withdraw}} to protect itself from the attack. Pikachu then used Agility, but got knocked back by Cloyster's {{m|Reflect}}. He then managed to hit Cloyster, with a super-effective {{m|Thunder}}, but Cloyster was still standing. After using {{m|Rage}} to increase its {{stat|Attack}}, Cloyster stopped Pikachu's Quick Attack with {{m|Aurora Beam}} and knocked him out with Take Down.

In ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]'', Pikachu participated in the first part of Ash's battle with [[Rudy]], using his Thunderbolt to blast targets. He then faced off against Rudy's {{p|Electabuzz}}. Pikachu started off using Thunderbolt, but Electabuzz absorbed the attack. He and Electabuzz then both used Quick Attack, but Electabuzz was able to overpower him. Pikachu then got defeated by a powerful {{m|Thunder Punch}}.

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

In ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]'', Pikachu was used in Ash's Gym battle against [[Luana]], where he had to fight alongside {{AP|Charizard}}. Despite both Pokémon being eager to battle, they started getting angry at each other right before the battle affecting their teamwork negatively. Charizard tried hitting {{p|Alakazam}} and {{p|Marowak}} with Flamethrower, while Pikachu dashed forward. Alakazam and Marowak managed to dodge the Flamethrower, causing it to hit Pikachu. As Charizard went for Tackle, Alakazam stopped him using Psychic. Seeing how Charizard got continuously attacked by Alakazam and Marowak, Pikachu decided to help his partner and attacked Alakazam, freeing Charizard from Psychic's grasp. Pikachu then got hit by Marowak's Body Slam, but got caught by Charizard's wing. Now finally being able to work together, Pikachu jumped on Charizard's back and used Thunderbolt to stop Marowak after dodging its {{m|Bonemerang}}. As Alakazam was about to unleash its {{m|Hyper Beam}} at Charizard, it got hit by Marowak's Bonemerang, causing Hyper Beam to be launched at Marowak, knocking both Pokémon out. This gave Ash the victory, winning him the {{badge|Jade Star}} and allowing him to enter the [[Orange League]].

In ''[[EP111|Hello, Pummelo!]]'', Pikachu was Ash's first Pokémon used in his battle against [[Drake]], where he faced off against Drake's {{p|Ditto}}. Despite Ditto being able to copy Pikachu's attacks, it wasn't in good shape as Pikachu and after continuously exchanging attacks, Pikachu managed to defeat it. Pikachu was then recalled when Drake sent out his {{p|Onix}}. [[EP112|Later]], Pikachu faced off against Drake's powerful {{TP|Drake|Dragonite}}, who had already defeated three of Ash's Pokémon. Pikachu headed towards Dragonite using Agility, but got knocked back by Dragonite's tail. Dragonite then attacked with Hyper Beam, but Pikachu managed to jump on Dragonite's head by using his tail as a spring board to dodge the attack and finally defeat it with a powerful Thunder, earning Ash the [[Winner's Trophy]] and a spot in the [[Orange League Hall of Fame]].

In ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]'', Pikachu battled against [[Gary's Eevee]]. Pikachu started off with Quick Attack, but Eevee used Reflect to block the attack. Pikachu then used Thunderbolt, but Eevee dodged the attack using {{m|Double Team}}. Eevee then switched to offense and dashed forwards using Take Down. Pikachu, however, dodged this using Agility and prepared to use Thunder. Before he was able to launch his attack, however, Eevee managed to hit him with a powerful {{m|Skull Bash}}, knocking him out. Later in the episode, Ash decided to take Pikachu, along with his other Pokémon, to [[Johto]] with him.

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

In ''[[EP131|Fighting Flyer with Fire]]'', Pikachu was used in Ash's [[Violet Gym]] battle against [[Falkner]], where he battled Falkner's {{p|Hoothoot}}. Pikachu used Agility to avoid getting hit by Hoothoot's Tackle. Hoothoot tried flying up to get out Pikachu's range, but Pikachu was still able to hit it with a super-effective Thunderbolt and then finished Hoothoot off with a Quick Attack. He then faced Falkner's {{p|Dodrio}}. Both Pokémon started off using Agility, matching each other's speed. Pikachu then went for Thunderbolt, but Dodrio used its great jumping ability to dodge the attack. It then hit Pikachu hard with Fury Attack followed up by {{m|Drill Peck}}. When Dodrio was about to finish him off with {{m|Tri Attack}}, Pikachu jumped high in the air and unleashed a super-effective Thunder, defeating Dodrio. Pikachu then briefly faced Falkner's {{p|Pidgeot}}, but as he was already tired from his previous matches he was quickly defeated by a {{m|Whirlwind}}.

In ''[[EP144|Gettin' The Bugs Out]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his third Pokémon in his [[Azalea Gym]] battle, where he went up against [[Bugsy]]'s {{p|Metapod}}. Metapod used its jumping abilities to jump high and use Tackle. Although Pikachu dodged it, it created a dust cloud and used the leaves of a nearby tree to make it unable to spot. Pikachu, however, managed to spot Metapod by using his hearing and after dodging a series of Tackles with Agility, Pikachu managed to jump on Metapod's back and defeated it with Thunderbolt. He then went up against Bugsy's last and most powerful Pokémon, {{p|Scyther}}. Despite Pikachu having the [[Type|type-advantage]], his Thunderbolt attacks constantly missed, because of Scyther using Double Team. The real Scyther then appeared behind Pikachu and hit him with {{m|Fury Cutter}}, with each Fury Cutter doubling in power, knocking Pikachu out.

In ''[[EP151|The Totodile Duel]]'', Pikachu was used to battle Misty for the ownership of {{AP|Totodile}}. He went up against {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}. Pikachu, however, did not want to hurt his friend and forfeited the match by running away.

In ''[[EP158|A Goldenrod Opportunity]]'', Pikachu faced off against [[Whitney]]'s powerful {{TP|Whitney|Miltank}}, who had already easily defeated [[Ash's Cyndaquil]] and Totodile using {{m|Rollout}}. Ash had Pikachu use Thunderbolt on Miltank since she got wet by Totodile's {{m|Water Gun}}. However, due to Miltank spinning at great speed, she had already dried, making Thunderbolt useless. Pikachu then tried attacking with Agility, but he got overpowered by Miltank's Rollout and was then defeated by another one, causing Ash to lose the battle.

In [[EP159|the following episode]], Pikachu battled Miltank again in Ash's rematch against Whitney. First Ash had Cyndaquil tire out Miltank and then had Totodile create ditches to slow her down. Thanks to this strategy, Miltank lost her balance, giving Pikachu the opportunity to throw Miltank in the air by hiding in one of the ditches and then finish her off with a Thunderbolt, earning Ash the {{badge|Plain}}.

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

In ''[[EP168|Hook, Line, and Stinker]]'', Ash chose Pikachu as his Pokémon to assist him in the [[Seaking Catching Day]]. After Ash managed to reel in a {{p|Seaking}}, Pikachu weakened it with Thunderbolt so Ash could catch it.

Pikachu befriended a bunch of {{p|Pichu}} in ''[[EP179|The Apple Corp!]]''. At first they framed Pikachu into eating apples, while they actually ate them. When the Pichu were attacked by a Fearow, Pikachu scared the Fearow off with a Thunderbolt. Later Pikachu's electricity was sucked away by Team Rocket and got kidnapped. The Pichu eventually managed to restore Pikachu's electricity and together they blasted Team Rocket off.

In ''[[EP182|From Ghost to Ghost]]'', Pikachu was used in Ash's Gym battle against [[Morty]], where he faced off against Morty's {{p|Gastly}}. Pikachu managed to hit Gastly with a Quick Attack after Ash had {{AP|Noctowl}} use {{m|Foresight}} earlier in the match. Despite this Gastly used its great speed to dodge Pikachu's Thunderbolt and defeated him with a single {{m|Night Shade}}.

In ''[[EP209|Machoke, Machoke Man!]]'', Ash chose Pikachu as his first Pokémon in his Gym battle against [[Chuck]]. Pikachu battled Chuck's {{p|Poliwrath}} and managed to hit it with a super-effective Thunderbolt. Despite this Poliwrath was still standing and after absorbing a Quick Attack with its muscled body it hit Pikachu hard with a series of {{m|Double Slap}} attacks, knocking him out.

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

In ''[[EP237|As Cold as Pryce]]'', Pikachu was seen aiding Cyndaquil in reviving [[Pryce's Piloswine]]. In the following episode, ''[[EP238|Nice Pryce, Baby!]]'', Pikachu was sent out to battle Piloswine, who already had defeated Ash's Cyndaquil. Due to the icy field Pikachu constantly slipped causing his Agility to be ineffective and almost unable to avoid Piloswine's attacks. Ash then got the idea to use the ice pillars to change Pikachu's direction while sliding on the ice. Using this tactic Pikachu gained a big amount of speed and slid under Piloswine giving him the opportunity to hit Piloswine hard with Thunder. Piloswine then started to use {{m|Rest}} in order to return to full health. Pikachu tried to finish it off with a Quick Attack, but was too late and got hit hard by a Take Down. Pikachu was still able to battle and countered Piloswine's next Take Down with a Quick Attack and hit it with Thunder. This caused the ice under Piloswine to break causing Piloswine to fall into the water. Pikachu then hit Piloswine with Thunderbolt which caused massive damage due to Piloswine's wet fur. Despite this Piloswine was still standing and constantly hit Pikachu with Fury Attack. Seeing no other option to escape Pikachu used a close-range Thunder causing a massive explosion. Pikachu got knocked down while Piloswine still seemed to be able to battle. Pikachu still managed to stand up and as he was about to attack again [[Pryce]] threw in the towel resulting into a T.K.O., giving Ash the win and earning him the {{badge|Glacier}}.

In ''[[EP252|Fangs for Nothin']]'', Ash chose Pikachu as his first Pokémon in his Gym battle against [[Clair]], sending him out against her {{p|Kingdra}}. Unaware of Kingdra's {{t|Dragon|secondary type}}, Ash had Pikachu go for Thunderbolt, which Kingdra easily took, much to Ash's surprise. Pikachu then tried dodging Kingdra's {{m|Twister}}, but as Kingdra was able to control the direction of the attack, Pikachu was caught in the tornado. Pikachu then went for Thunder, but also this Electric-type move left Kingdra unscathed. After a collision between, {{m|Hydro Pump}} and Thunderbolt, Pikachu managed to dodge several blasts of Hydro Pump before hitting Kingdra with Quick Attack. However, after seeing that [[physical move]]s didn't work either, Ash followed Misty and Brock's advice to recall Pikachu. Their battle was later stopped due to Team Rocket's theft of the [[Dragon Fang]]. In [[EP253|the following episode]], Pikachu helped calming down the rampaging {{p|Dragonite}} that belonged to the old [[Blackthorn Gym]] Leader.

In [[EP254|the next episode]], Pikachu was used in Ash's last Johto Gym battle against Clair, where he faced her {{p|Gyarados}}. Despite the double type-advantage, Gyarados proved to be quite a match for Pikachu, using its {{m|Dragon Breath}} to block Pikachu's Electric-type attacks. After getting hit by a Hydro Pump, Pikachu got wrapped by Gyarados. This, however, allowed Pikachu to hit Gyarados hard with a Thunderbolt. Gyarados quickly managed to recover and launched a barrage of {{m|Bite}} attacks, causing Pikachu to get cornered. As Clair was ready to finish the battle with a close-range Hydro Pump, Ash had Pikachu use Agility to get onto Gyarados's Hydro Pump, and defeated the Atrocious Pokémon with a Thunderbolt. Clair then sent out her {{TP|Clair|Dragonair}} to battle Pikachu, who managed to dodge Pikachu's attacks and knock him out with a point-blank Hyper Beam.

In ''[[EP266|A Claim to Flame!]]'', Pikachu was used by Ash in the Athlete's Round of the [[Silver Conference]] against [[Salvador]] and his {{p|Furret}}. Furret proved to be a tough opponent by repeatedly using {{m|Dig}} to confuse and attack Pikachu. Eventually Pikachu managed to grab onto Furret's back and as it dove back into one of its holes, Pikachu unleashed a powerful Thunderbolt and finally finished the match with a Quick Attack.

Pikachu was used again in ''[[EP268|Tie One On!]]'', where he faced off against [[Vincent|Jackson]]'s {{p|Azumarill}}. Azumarill started off using Water Gun. Pikachu evaded this attack using Quick Attack and reversed to hit Azumarill, which it nearly dodged. After a collision of Thunderbolt and {{m|Bubble Beam}}, Pikachu got hit by {{m|Icy Wind}}. Azumarill then hit Pikachu with Iron Tail, but Pikachu managed to hold on his tail and launched a super-effective Thunder knocking out Azumarill. Next Pikachu went up against Jackson's [[Shiny Pokémon|Shiny]] {{p|Magneton}}. After exchanging hits from each other's Thunderbolt, Magneton dodged Pikachu's Quick Attack and stunned Pikachu with Thunder Wave before defeating him with Tri Attack.

In ''[[EP271|Playing with Fire!]]'', Pikachu was Ash's first Pokémon used in his battle against {{jo|Harrison}}. Pikachu battled Harrison's {{p|Kecleon}}, which used its {{a|Color Change}} [[Ability]] to hide itself in the tall grass while hitting Pikachu with its tongue. Eventually, Pikachu managed to grab Kecleon's tongue and defeated it with Thunderbolt. Harrison then sent out his {{TP|Harrison|Sneasel}}. Sneasel managed to avoid Pikachu's Thunderbolt and defeated him with a single {{m|Metal Claw}}.

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

==={{series|Advanced Generation}}===
====Hoenn====
In ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road!]]'', Ash was willing to take Pikachu for some help in taking care of the illness. He met up with [[Professor Birch]], who took Pikachu to his lab. Even though they were able to strap him to the machine to drain out the overload electricity he received, the machine exploded as the electricity levels were too high. Pikachu then ran off, with Ash and Professor Birch chasing after him. Eventually, Ash managed to find Pikachu, but Pikachu, in his confused state, attacked him and fled towards the end of a cliff. As Pikachu fell off the cliff, Ash jumped after him and managed to catch him and grab a branch. Pikachu tried resisting, but Ash was able to get through and calm him down. When Ash and Pikachu were pulled up to safety, Team Rocket arrived. Their [[Team Rocket's mechas|mecha]] accidentally cured Pikachu of his illness and he was able to blast them off, destroying {{an|May}}'s bike in the process.

In ''[[AG003|There's no Place like Hoenn]]'', Ash used Pikachu in an unofficial 1-on-1 battle against [[Norman]], since Ash only had one Pokémon at the time instead of the three required. Norman's {{p|Vigoroth}} proved to be a tough opponent, dodging Pikachu's attacks with ease and hitting him hard with multiple {{m|Scratch}} attacks. Pikachu managed to successfully hit Vigoroth with Quick Attack, but Vigoroth hit him again and defeated him with one final Scratch. After their match, Team Rocket tried to steal Pikachu and Vigoroth but accidentally stole {{TP|May|Torchic}}. Later Pikachu was used alongside Norman's Vigoroth to battle Team Rocket and blasted them off as well as rescuing Torchic.

In ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]'', Ash began teaching Pikachu Iron Tail in preparation for his [[Rustboro Gym]] battle, a {{type|Rock}} Gym, and got help from a {{pkmn|Coordinator}} named {{an|Chaz}} and his {{p|Sentret}}. Despite their effort and training, Pikachu was still unable to fully master Iron Tail.

In ''[[AG016|The Winner by a Nosepass]]'', Pikachu was Ash's last Pokémon used in his Gym battle against [[Roxanne]], where he was sent out against her {{p|Geodude}}. Pikachu started off using Thunder to flatten the rocky battlefield. Geodude countered with {{m|Rock Throw}}, which Pikachu managed to dodge using Quick Attack only to end up right in front of Geodude. This gave Geodude the chance to hit him hard with a Mega Punch. As Geodude used Rollout to finish Pikachu off, it got stuck and couldn’t execute its attack because of the flattened battlefield. Pikachu used this opportunity to get close using Quick Attack and hit Geodude with a powerful Thunder, defeating it.
Pikachu then faced [[Roxanne's Nosepass]]. Pikachu started off using Iron Tail, which managed to successfully hit Nosepass. After dodging Nosepass’s attack, Pikachu went for a second Iron Tail, but failed this time. Nosepass then used {{m|Rock Tomb}} to trap Pikachu, but he managed to break free using Thunder. Nosepass then countered with {{m|Sandstorm}}, deteriorating Pikachu’s sight. Nosepass, however, was able to sense Pikachu using its electromagnetic nose and managed to slam its body into him. Nosepass then tried to stomp on Pikachu, but he managed to avoid it by using Quick Attack. After using Quick Attack again to dodge Nosepass’s Rock Tomb, Pikachu used Quick Attack to run around Nosepass in order to confuse it. He then managed to get behind Nosepass and used Iron Tail, only to fail once again. Nosepass then went for Thunder Wave, which Pikachu barely avoided. Ash then had Pikachu charge towards Nosepass and let him take its {{m|Zap Cannon}}, causing Pikachu to absorb the electricity. Pikachu then tackled Nosepass, releasing the electricity at Nosepass, causing it to become {{status|Paralysis|paralyzed}}. Pikachu then defeated Nosepass with one final Iron Tail, finally mastering the move in the process as well as earning Ash the {{badge|Stone}}.

In ''[[AG040|Watt's with Wattson?]]'', Ash and his friends arrived at [[Mauville City]] and immediately proceeded to the [[Mauville Gym]]. Inside the group encountered a robot {{p|Raikou}}. Thinking it would attack, Ash ordered Pikachu to attack the robot with Iron Tail, causing an explosion. This destroyed the robot, but also overcharged Pikachu with electricity, unbeknownst to the rest, however. Later, Pikachu was Ash's first Pokémon used in his Gym Battle against [[Wattson]]. Pikachu first faced Wattson's Magnemite. Due to being overcharged, Pikachu defeated Magnemite with a single Thunderbolt after dodging a {{m|Swift}} attack. Next, Pikachu battled Wattson's {{p|Voltorb}} and also managed to easily defeat it with another Thunderbolt. Getting agitated, Wattson sent out his Magneton and ordered it to use Zap Cannon. Pikachu easily managed to overpower this attack with Thunder, which also knocked Magneton out, earning Ash the {{badge|Dynamo}}.

In ''[[AG056|Going, Going, Yawn]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his third Pokémon in his [[Lavaridge Gym]] battle. He was sent out against [[Flannery]]'s {{p|Slugma}}, after it had {{status|Burn|burned}} {{AP|Treecko}} and put {{AP|Corphish}} to {{status|Sleep}}. After using Quick Attack to dodge Flamethrower, he finally broke {{p|Magcargo}}'s Reflect that was affecting previous battles. Slugma then used {{m|Smog}} to cover itself. Pikachu, however, was able to sense it and used Iron Tail. Slugma managed to dodge and hit him with a Flamethrower. Pikachu then used Thunderbolt and although it looked like it initially missed, it electrified the Smog, harming Slugma. Flannery called for {{m|Yawn}}, but Ash unwilling for that to happen, had Pikachu use Quick Attack, hitting it before Yawn could be executed and then finished Slugma off with Thunder. Ash kept Pikachu in when Flannery used her last Pokémon, {{p|Torkoal}}. Pikachu used Thunderbolt, but it was blocked by {{m|Iron Defense}}. Pikachu then dodged a Flamethrower and used Iron Tail, but it was blocked by Iron Defense as well. Torkoal then used {{m|Sludge Bomb}}, which hit Pikachu. Pikachu tried attacking with Thunder, but his attack was blocked by Iron Defense once again. Torkoal then used {{m|Overheat}}, defeating Pikachu.

In ''[[AG070|Balance of Power]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his first Pokémon in his [[Petalburg Gym]] battle against Norman. He went up against {{p|Slakoth}}. Pikachu used Quick Attack on Slakoth, which was dodged. After dodging a {{m|Shadow Ball}}, Pikachu used Iron Tail, only to be dodged as well, dazing Pikachu. Slakoth then used {{m|Hidden Power}}. Pikachu tried to destroy them with Thunderbolt, but failed and was hit by the circling Hidden Power. Pikachu then tried hitting Slakoth with Thunder, but this was dodged as well. Slakoth then countered with {{m|Blizzard}}, disabling Pikachu to move. Being unable to move, Pikachu was recalled. Later, Pikachu was sent out against Norman's Vigoroth. Pikachu used Thunderbolt, but Vigoroth swiftly dodged it and launched a Scratch attack. Pikachu, however, successfully blocked the attack with Iron Tail, but Vigoroth quickly recovered and launched a Flamethrower, dealing much damage. Pikachu's electricity gave Ash an idea, he got Pikachu use Quick Attack to dodge Vigoroth's Flamethrower. When Vigoroth launched another Scratch, Ash told Pikachu to stop and let him get hit. This activated Pikachu's Ability {{a|Static}}, paralyzing Vigoroth. This allowed Pikachu to defeat Vigoroth with Iron Tail. However, all this battling took its toll, as Pikachu fainted as well, ending the battle in a draw.

In ''[[AG085|Sky High Gym Battle!]]'', Pikachu was Ash's second Pokémon used in his [[Fortree Gym]] battle against [[Winona]]. Pikachu battled against Winona's {{p|Pelipper}} and despite the major type-advantage, Pelipper proved to be a formidable opponent, being able to use {{m|Steel Wing}} as a lightning rod to conduct Pikachu's Electric-type attacks to the ground, thus preventing damage. After Pikachu got hit by a Quick Attack, Ash decided Pikachu should fight at close-range and told him to use Quick Attack to get closer. This, however, gave Pelipper the opportunity to hit Pikachu hard with a Hydro Pump. Pikachu, however, stood his ground and when Pelipper lifted its wing from the ground for a moment, Ash had Pikachu use Thunder on Pelipper. With both Pokémon being hit by powerful attacks, Pikachu and Pelipper both fainted.

In ''[[AG089|A Scare to Remember!]]'', Pikachu developed amnesia after an attack by Team Rocket and their mecha. Team Rocket took advantage of this and tricked Pikachu into joining them. He was then ordered to attack the group. Trying to get Pikachu back, Ash jumped on their balloon. Team Rocket ordered Pikachu to hit Ash with Thunderbolt, causing them to get blasted off and causing Ash and Pikachu to fall down in a river. With Ash protecting Pikachu, Pikachu managed to regain his memory and got rid of Team Rocket once again.

In ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'', Ash and the group got on a submarine owned by [[Team Magma]], where they met Team Magma's leader, [[Maxie]]. An explosion caused by {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Kyogre}}, caused the [[Blue Orb]] to fly off Maxie's desk. Pikachu managed to catch the orb before Team Magma could regain it. The orb, however, soon started to glow and melted into Pikachu's body, greatly increasing his power, but also making him lose control over himself. In [[AG098|the next episode]], Pikachu awakened {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Groudon}} and aided it in its battle with {{p|Kyogre}}. Due to everyone's teamwork, {{p|Groudon}} was able to defeat Kyogre, causing the Blue Orb to emerge from Pikachu's body. Pikachu was then saved from drowning by Kyogre and later bade it and Groudon farewell.

In ''[[AG100|Solid as a Solrock]]'', Ash used Pikachu and {{AP|Swellow}} in the [[Double Battle]] against [[Tate and Liza]] with their respective {{TP|Tate|Solrock}} and {{TP|Liza|Lunatone}}. Solrock and Lunatone both started off using Tackle which both scored a direct hit on Pikachu and Swellow. Pikachu and Swellow then tried hitting their opponents with Quick Attack and {{m|Peck}}, but their attack was dodged, causing them to crash into planets hanging from the ceiling and fall on top of each other on the ground. This gave Solrock and Lunatone the opportunity to launch a {{m|Solar Beam}} and {{m|Ice Beam}}. As the attacks were about to hit their marks, the two beams accidentally collided, canceling each other out, causing the twins to quarrel. Ash used this chance to recover and had Pikachu and Swellow strike the opposing Pokémon with a respective Iron Tail and {{m|Aerial Ace}}. Both Meteorite Pokémon then charged towards Pikachu using Tackle, but Swellow was able to save him in time, causing Solrock and Lunatone to crash into each other. The battle then got interrupted by Team Rocket, who destroyed the gym using their mecha and stole Solrock and Lunatone.

After Team Rocket was defeated, they all agreed to resume their battle outdoors. This time, however, the twins managed to put their differences aside and worked together as a team. Ash first had Pikachu use Thunderbolt on Solrock, but his attack was sent back by Lunatone's {{m|Light Screen}}, sending Pikachu flying into a wall. As Swellow tried to attack with Aerial Ace, Solrock used Sandstorm to sent Swellow flying as well. Pikachu then jumped on Swellow's back and used Thunderbolt again, only to be deflected back by Light Screen again, hitting Pikachu and Swellow hard. Swellow then used Double Team, but Solrock and Lunatone countered using Solar Beam and Ice Beam to wipe out the copies. Much to Tate and Liza's surprise, however, Pikachu and Swellow got away unscathed. Swellow then dove down from the sky along with Pikachu to attack, but Solrock and Lunatone quickly responded and hit them with Solar Beam and Ice Beam. Ash thought about how to negate the dual attacks and then had Pikachu use Thunder on the clouds. Lightning then struck Pikachu and Swellow, which the two managed to endure. Once clear, Pikachu and Swellow were coated in a "Thunder Armor". Using this technique, Pikachu and Swellow managed to pierce through Solrock's Solar Beam and Lunatone's Light Screen and managed to defeat them using Iron Tail and Aerial Ace, earning Ash the {{badge|Mind}}.

In ''[[AG101|Vanity Affair]]'', Ash used Pikachu against [[Hoenn Elite Four]] member [[Drake]]. Pikachu battled against his {{p|Shelgon}}. Pikachu used Thunderbolt and scored a direct hit. As Pikachu went for a second Thunderbolt, Shelgon used Double-Edge and managed to dodge the attack. Due to Shelgon's low {{stat|Speed}}, Pikachu easily dodged the attack with Quick Attack. When Pikachu was about to finish Shelgon off with Iron Tail, Shelgon had Pikachu come close and then hit him hard with Dragon Breath. Shelgon then followed up with {{m|Dragon Claw}}, knocking Pikachu out.

In ''[[AG110|The Great Eight Fate!]]'' Ash chose Pikachu, along with his {{AP|Snorunt}} as his first two Pokémon in a Double Battle in the first round of his [[Sootopolis Gym]] battle. They went up against [[Juan]]'s {{p|Sealeo}} and Seaking. Pikachu used his Thunderbolt on Sealeo, but Seaking used {{m|Horn Drill}} to reflect it to Snorunt. Pikachu then used Thunder, but Seaking once again used Horn Drill to reflect the attack to Snorunt again. This time, however, Pikachu protected Snorunt, taking most of the damage. Sealeo then used Blizzard on the two, dealing much damage to Pikachu. Ash then had Snorunt use its Icy Wind to freeze the Blizzard, creating an ice pillar, which blocked Juan's view. Sealeo and Seaking destroyed the pillar with their Aurora Beam and Hyper Beam respectively, this created ice shards, which Ash had Snorunt and Pikachu jump on. Snorunt then used {{m|Headbutt}}, while Pikachu used Iron Tail. Seaking and Sealeo responded using Hyper Beam and Aurora Beam. While Pikachu was able to dodge Aurora Beam, Snorunt wasn't able to avoid the Hyper Beam and was knocked out.
Ash then sent out his Corphish. After dodging Corphish's Bubble Beam, both of Juan's Pokémon attacked from below with Sealeo using Aurora Beam on Pikachu's platform, which he was able to dodge. Seaking attacked Corphish with {{m|Horn Attack}}, but Corphish was able to grab its horn. Seaking, however, used Horn Drill, sending Corphish flying. Ash then had Pikachu use Iron Tail on Seaking. Despite Sealeo trying to stop Pikachu using Aurora Beam, Pikachu was able to defeat Seaking as well as avoid the attack in time. Pikachu then rode on Corphish's back, heading towards Sealeo. Sealeo tried stopping them using {{m|Ice Ball}}, which got stronger with each attack. While Pikachu and Corphish managed to destroy the first three Ice Balls, the fourth one managed to hit them both. Sealeo then launched a fifth Ice Ball at them both. Pikachu launched a Thunder at the Ice Ball and after increasing its power, he was able to break it. While the falling ice shards were hurting Sealeo, Corphish was able to defeat it with its {{m|Crabhammer}}, knocking it out and ending the first round of the Sootopolis Gym battle in Ash's favor. Both Pokémon were then recalled.
In [[AG111|the next episode]], Pikachu was used as Ash's last Pokémon in the second round of the Sootopolis Gym battle, going up against Juan's last and strongest Pokémon, his {{p|Milotic}}. Ash had Pikachu use Thunder and although it dealt a lot of damage, Milotic nullified the damage by using Recover. Both Pokémon then used Iron Tail, in which Milotic's overpowered Pikachu's. Milotic quickly followed up with Twister, which was powered up by the water. Much to Juan's surprise, Pikachu was able to break through with Thunder and followed with up with a powerful Quick Attack. Milotic then used Hydro Pump, which Pikachu dodged and used a super-effective Thunderbolt. Milotic, however, shook the attack off and used Recover, healing itself once again. Milotic then went underwater, making both Ash and Pikachu unable to see it. Milotic then tried hitting Pikachu with Iron Tail, but he dodged it and climbed onto Milotic's body. Milotic tried stopping him using Hydro Pump, but he dodged the attack. Pikachu then grabbed onto its eyebrows and flipped the Tender Pokémon into the water. While underwater, Pikachu used Thunder, dealing major damage to Milotic as water was an excellent conductor of electricity. This knocked out Milotic, winning Ash the battle and earning him the {{badge|Rain}}.

In ''[[AG118|Less is Morrison]]'', Ash used Pikachu in a 1-on-1 battle against his new rival [[Morrison]]. He faced [[Morrison's Beldum]]. At first, Pikachu had the upperhand as the only move Beldum knew was Take Down, which he easily dodged before retaliating with Quick Attack and Thunderbolt. Pikachu then dodged another Take Down, but this time Beldum reversed and finally managed to hit Pikachu with its attack. After getting hit by a second Take Down, Pikachu used Iron Tail to counter another one, causing a big explosion which knocked both Pokémon out.

In ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum]]'', Ash used Pikachu for the first round in the [[Ever Grande Conference]], he went up against {{OBP|Gilbert|AG126}} and his {{p|Hitmonlee}}. Hitmonlee used {{m|Rolling Kick}}, but Pikachu managed to avoid the attack and hit Hitmonlee with Iron Tail. Hitmonlee then went for {{m|High Jump Kick}}, which Pikachu managed to dodge as well using Quick Attack, causing crash damage to Hitmonlee. As Pikachu charged in for one final attack, Hitmonlee hit him with Mega Kick. While heading towards the ground, Pikachu managed to escape Hitmonlee's kick and hit him with Iron Tail, knocking it out and causing Ash to advance to the next round of the tournament.

In ''[[AG128|Shocks and Bonds]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his second Pokémon in his [[Full Battle]] against {{ho|Katie}} in the Victory Tournament part of the Ever Grande Conference. He went up against Katie's {{p|Golduck}} and was sent out due to the type advantage he had. Katie, however, immediately switched to her {{p|Dugtrio}}, who had a type-advantage of its own. Pikachu used Quick Attack, but Dugtrio used Dig to dodge the attack. Dugtrio then used {{m|Sand Tomb}}, creating a huge patch of quicksand, Pikachu tried to escape but couldn't and got pulled by the sand. Ash had Pikachu use Thunderbolt, which had no effect on Dugtrio since it was a {{type|Ground}} Pokémon. Dugtrio then used Double-Edge and Pikachu attempted to block with Iron Tail, but when both moves collided, Pikachu was knocked out while Dugtrio emerged unharmed.

In ''[[AG130|Choose It or Lose It!]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his second Pokémon in his Full Battle against Morrison in the Ever Grande Conference. He went up against his {{p|Steelix}}.

Pikachu tried using Iron Tail, but Steelix quickly dodged that with another Dig. Pikachu then managed to dodge Dig and hit Steelix with Quick Attack. Both Pokémon then used Iron Tail, but Steelix's managed to overpower Pikachu's, knocking him out.

In ''[[AG131|At the End of the Fray]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his sixth and last Pokémon in his Full Battle against {{ho|Tyson}}. He went up against Tyson's {{p|Metagross}}, who had already defeated Swellow and Grovyle, but had a crack in its armor as a result. Pikachu used Thunderbolt on the crack, but it didn't do much to Metagross. Metagross then used Psychic on Pikachu, but he was able to dodge it and hit Metagross with Iron Tail. Pikachu then climbed onto Metagross, and as Metagross was unable to shake him off, Pikachu finally defeated the Iron Leg Pokémon with Thunder. Pikachu then went up against Tyson's last Pokémon, his {{TP|Tyson|Meowth}}.
Pikachu's Thunderbolt and Thunder attacks soon proved to be useless, as Meowth each time defended itself against Pikachu's Electric-type attacks with its Thunderbolt. After realizing this, Ash had Pikachu fight close-range and ordered him to use Quick Attack. Meowth, however, dodged this with Double Team and followed up with Iron Tail. Pikachu countered with his own Iron Tail, causing the moves to collide. Pikachu and Meowth started attacking unceasing, with each time their attacks colliding. Both Pokémon then used Iron Tail, with both Pokémon taking the hit, knocking them both down. Though initially both of them got up, Pikachu fainted from exhaustion, causing Ash to end up in the Top 8 of the Ever Grande Conference.

====Kanto Battle Frontier====
In ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'', Ash used Pikachu in his battle against [[Elite Four]] [[Agatha]] and her {{TP|Agatha|Gengar}} at the [[Viridian Gym]]. Pikachu started off using Quick Attack, but failed since Gengar was a {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon. It was too fast for Pikachu's Thunderbolt, but after dodging a Shadow Ball, Pikachu was able to hit Gengar with an Iron Tail. Gengar then hit Pikachu with Shadow Ball, but Pikachu was able to climb on the Shadow Ball and went for Iron Tail. Gengar, however, was able to prevent Pikachu from using Iron Tail with Double Team. Pikachu was able to destroy all the copies with Thunderbolt as well as hit Gengar with it. He then dodged a Shadow Ball and hit Gengar with Iron Tail.

He was later reunited with Misty, when he and Ash returned to Pallet Town.

In ''[[AG150|May's Egg-Cellent Adventure]]'', while battling Team Rocket's mecha, he used Quick Attack, which morphed into {{m|Volt Tackle}}, easily destroying the mecha and blasting Team Rocket off. Despite this, Pikachu couldn't master the move. After lots of {{pkmn|training}}, Pikachu was finally able to master Volt Tackle in ''[[AG155|The Green Guardian]]'', using the move to blast Team Rocket off and save a wild {{p|Celebi}}.

In ''[[AG158|Queen of the Serpentine!]]'', when going to the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Pike}}, Pikachu was captured by Team Rocket using their fake Battle Pike until rescued by {{FB|Pike Queen|Lucy}} and her {{TP|Lucy|Seviper}} from the real Battle Pike.

In ''[[AG169|Talking a Good Game!]]'', Pikachu was the third Pokémon to battle against {{FB|Salon Maiden|Anabel}}. He went up against her Alakazam, who had already defeated Ash's former two Pokémon. Pikachu managed to hit Alakazam with Thunderbolt, but Alakazam nullified the damage using Recover. Both Pokémon then started exchanging Iron Tail and {{m|Focus Punch}} attacks and then hit each other with their respective Thunderbolt and Psybeam. Ash then ordered Pikachu to use Volt Tackle, but Pikachu ran straight towards the wall due to Psybeam's confusion effect. Pikachu, however, managed to snap out of the confusion, after Ash had saved it and managed to overpower Alakazam's Psybeam with Thunderbolt, defeating it. He went up against Metagross next. Metagross managed to sent Pikachu's Thunderbolt back at him using Psychic, dealing much damage.

In [[AG170|the next episode]], Pikachu was used in Ash's rematch against Anabel, this time facing her {{p|Espeon}}. Espeon showed to have great speed and power, dodging Pikachu's attacks and immediately after hit Pikachu with its own attacks. After getting hit by Espeon's Quick Attack and Iron Tail, Ash had Pikachu use Thunderbolt. Espeon's Zap Cannon managed to overpower Pikachu's attack and hit him hard. Pikachu tried Thunderbolt once again, but it was dodged. Espeon then countered with Psychic, smashing Pikachu to the ceiling, causing Pikachu to fall down. Pikachu, however, managed to land on his feet and used Quick Attack. Espeon used Psychic again to stop Pikachu and lifted him in the air. Pikachu managed to bounce off the ceiling and land on one of the stadium's lights. Pikachu then used Thunderbolt, causing the lights to turn off. Unable to see anything Espeon was hit by Pikachu's next Thunderbolt. Pikachu then managed to avoid several Zap Cannon attacks and hit Espeon again with Thunderbolt. Just as the lights turned on again, Pikachu jumped down and hit Espeon hard with his Iron Tail. He then rushed towards Espeon using Volt Tackle. Despite trying to stop Pikachu using Zap Cannon, the attack missed and Espeon got [[Fainting|knocked out]] by the powerful attack. This gave Ash the win and earned him the [[Symbol#List of Symbols|Ability Symbol]].

In ''[[AG189|Gathering the Gang of Four!]]'', in preparation for Ash's rematch against {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}} for his final frontier symbol, Pikachu reunited with Bulbasaur, Squirtle and Charizard. Using Quick Attack to round up leaves created by Squirtle's {{m|Rapid Spin}} and Bulbasaur's {{m|Vine Whip}}, they were able to make a den to sleep. Although he got in a fight with the other Pokémon, they later calmed down. The next day, they all continued to train. Pikachu was later captured by Team Rocket but was rescued thanks to the efforts of Ash and the other Pokémon. They then combined their attacks to send Team Rocket blasting off. Afterwards, they met up with Brandon again and he agreed to have a four-on-four rematch with Pikachu and the other Pokémon at the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Pyramid}}.

Pikachu was the fourth and final Pokémon used in Ash's Battle Pyramid challenge against Pyramid King Brandon in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]''. After Charizard, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Brandon's first three Pokémon were eliminated from the match, Pikachu was pitted against [[Brandon's Regice]]. Ash first had Pikachu used Thunderbolt, but Regice seemed unfazed by the attack. Regice then countered with Blizzard. Pikachu quickly recovered and used Iron Tail, but was unable to land since he had to dodge the Iceberg Pokémon's Ice Beam. Regice used Ice Beam again to counter Pikachu's Quick Attack and despite Pikachu managing to dodge the attack again, the whole battle field got frozen in the process. This made Regice be able to move much quicker, while making it harder for Pikachu to move. As Regice was about to hit Pikachu with a Focus Punch, Pikachu was able to hit Regice with Thunderbolt, stunning it. This allowed Pikachu to hit Regice with a super-effective Iron Tail. Regice, however, quickly recovered and used Ice Beam, creating ice pillars, which trapped Pikachu. With Pikachu being unable to do anything, Regice used Rest to heal itself completely. Despite Pikachu managing to escape using Iron Tail, Regice was able to wake up before Pikachu could attack it and hit him with an Ice Beam, {{status|Freeze|freezing}} him. While Ash was yelling words of encouragement, the referee began to declare Pikachu unable to battle. Pikachu, however, managed to thaw out using Thunderbolt while also hit Regice with it. Regice then hit Pikachu with Focus Punch to send Pikachu bouncing across the ice field. Pikachu, however, used this to his advantage and bounced back to Regice to hit it with two consecutive Iron Tails. Regice, however, was still standing and managed to trap Pikachu again between ice pillars using Ice Beam and started to rest up again. Pikachu escaped again using Iron Tail and charged towards Regice using Volt Tackle. Regice managed to awake in time again and started using Ice Beam to stop Pikachu. Pikachu, however, dodged the attack and hit Regice with a powerful Volt Tackle, finally knocking the {{pkmn|category|Iceberg Pokémon}} out. This gave Ash the win and finally earned him his last Symbol, [[Symbol#List of Symbols|Brave Symbol]].

In ''[[AG191|Once More With Reeling]]'', Ash used Pikachu in the [[Appeal|Performance Stage]] of the unofficial [[Terracotta Town]] [[Pokémon Contest]]. He used Quick Attack and Thunderbolt at the same time to create electrical rings and then sent them off with Iron Tail. When they collided, it created a firework like effect. This performance allowed Ash to proceed to the [[Contest Battle|Battle Stage]].

In ''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start Is!]]'', Ash used Pikachu in a friendly battle against {{Gary}}, who used his powerful {{TP|Gary|Electivire}}, a Pokémon from the [[Sinnoh]] region. Both Pokémon used Thunderbolt and were evenly matched. Pikachu then used Quick Attack, but it was dodged by Electivire. Both Pokémon then used Iron Tail, but they were even again. Pikachu then used a close range Thunderbolt, which Electivire dodged by jumping. This, however, was what Ash wanted and had Pikachu use Volt Tackle since it was now defenseless. Electivire, however, blocked the attack with {{m|Protect}}, damaging Pikachu due to recoil. Electivire then launched its powerful Thunder Punch, defeating Pikachu. Later, Pikachu went with Ash to Sinnoh, intending for him to be the only Pokémon to go with him, as he left his other Pokémon at Professor Oak's laboratory. However, {{AP|Aipom}} snuck on board of their ship and Ash allowed her to accompany them to Sinnoh.

In ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage!]]'', Pikachu was temporarily separated from Ash thanks to yet another plot by Team Rocket. Eventually, in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'', {{an|Dawn}} found Pikachu and tried to catch him, but failed since he already had a Trainer. She also protected him from Team Rocket and managed to blast Team Rocket off alongside with him. Pikachu was eventually reunited with Ash in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]''. Later, he was used as Ash's final Pokémon in a battle against Ash's new rival, [[Paul]], and his {{TP|Paul|Elekid}}. Pikachu started off using Thunderbolt, but Elekid simply absorbed the attack and then launched a powerful Thunder at him. Pikachu then used Volt Tackle, but Elekid blocked the attack using Protect, causing him to take recoil damage. Pikachu, however, managed to get up and used Iron Tail, which was countered by Elekid's {{m|Brick Break}}. As the two moves were colliding, Paul mentioned Elekid still had one free arm and ordered it to hit Pikachu with Thunder Punch. Pikachu, however, managed to block Thunder Punch with Iron Tail and then hit Elekid hard. Elekid then managed to hit Pikachu with one more Brick Break, but as both Pokémon were exhausted they both fell down, resulting the battle in a tie.

In ''[[DP004|Dawn of a New Era!]]'', Ash used Pikachu to battle [[Nando's Budew]]. Pikachu started off using Quick Attack. Budew tried countering with {{m|Bullet Seed}}, but Pikachu avoided the attack and hit Budew hard. Pikachu then got hit by Budew's {{m|Mega Drain}}, restoring some of Budew's health. Pikachu then used Thunderbolt, dealing much damage to Budew. Budew then surprised everyone by evolving into {{p|Roselia}}. Roselia used {{m|Sunny Day}} and followed up with Solar Beam. Pikachu, however, managed to dodge Solar Beam and defeated Roselia with a powerful Iron Tail.

[[File:Ash DP 2.png|thumb|120px|left|Ash and Pikachu, as seen in {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} artwork]]
In ''[[DP016|A Gruff Act to Follow]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his second Pokémon in his first Sinnoh Gym battle against [[Roark]] and his {{TP|Roark|Cranidos}}. Pikachu started off using Thunderbolt, but Cranidos dodged it and used {{m|Zen Headbutt}}. Pikachu stopped the attack with Iron Tail. However, Cranidos was able to withstand the attack and used Headbutt. Although Pikachu managed to dodge and attempted to use Thunderbolt, Cranidos still managed to score a direct hit on him. Pikachu then tried to use Thunderbolt again, but Cranidos used Zen Headbutt to stop him and then used another Headbutt to knock him to the ground. When Paul got up to leave, believing Ash had already lost, Pikachu suddenly showed his strength by letting off a powerful electric attack in the air, causing Paul to stay. As the battle continued, Pikachu used Quick Attack, while Cranidos used Flamethrower. Pikachu dodged the attack and hit Cranidos with Iron Tail. Cranidos then used {{m|Head Smash}}, while Pikachu countered with Volt Tackle. The collision of these attacks caused much damage to both Pokémon. Not wanting Pikachu to take anymore damage, Ash recalled him.
Later, Pikachu was sent out again to battle Roark's Onix. Pikachu used Iron Tail, which was countered by Onix's Slam. Ash then came up with an idea and had Pikachu use Thunderbolt on the battlefield, causing rocks to be launched in the air. Onix tried heading forwards using Double-Edge, but couldn't due to the rocks. Pikachu then headed towards Onix using Quick Attack, but Onix quickly recovered and countered with {{m|Screech}}. Despite trying to still move forwards, Pikachu was overwhelmed by the attack and was blasted away, knocking him out and making Ash lose the battle.

In ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos We Watched!]]'', Pikachu was Ash's first Pokémon used in his rematch against Roark, where he faced Roark's Onix again. Pikachu used Quick Attack to climb onto Onix's body, after dodging a Slam. Onix tried to stop Pikachu using Screech, but failed and Pikachu managed to reach Onix's head. Despite trying to shake Pikachu off, Onix got hit by a super-effective Iron Tail. Onix then went for Double-Edge with Pikachu heading straight towards Onix. At the last moment, however, Pikachu used his newly learned spin technique to dodge the attack and went for another Iron Tail. Onix, however, managed to dodge and hit Pikachu hard with Slam. Onix then used {{m|Stealth Rock}}, but the move was countered by Pikachu's Thunderbolt, preventing it from being executed as well as damaging Onix. Pikachu then used Iron Tail and while Onix tried countering with Screech, he managed to outspeed the Rock Snake Pokémon and defeated it. Pikachu was recalled when Roark sent out his Geodude.
Pikachu was later sent out to battle Roark's {{p|Rampardos}}. Pikachu used Thunderbolt, but Rampardos dodged and went for Zen Headbutt. Pikachu tried dodging the attack using his spin technique again, but still got hurt in the process. He then used Quick Attack, while Rampardos countered with Headbutt. Pikachu managed to avoid Headbutt by spinning head over heels, but got thrown in ther air by Rampardos's tail. Pikachu then headed down using Iron Tail with Rampardos countering with Zen Headbutt. This caused Pikachu's Static to activate, but it was cancelled out by Rampardos's {{a|Mold Breaker}}. Rampardos then hit Pikachu hard with Zen Headbutt, knocking him out.

In ''[[DP026|Getting the Pre-Contest Titters!]]'', Ash used Pikachu in a battle against {{si|Kenny}} and his {{TP|Kenny|Prinplup}}. Pikachu started off using Thunderbolt, but the attack was blocked by Prinplup's Metal Claw. Prinplup then used Drill Peck, but Pikachu managed to dodge the attack by spinning and hit Prinplup with Iron Tail, sending it to the ground. Prinplup, however, used Bubble Beam to create a cushion to land safely. Pikachu and Prinplup then clashed with Iron Tail and Metal Claw. The battle was then interrupted by Team Rocket.

In ''[[DP033|All Dressed Up With Somewhere To Go!]]'', Ash entered Pikachu in the [[Pokémon Dress-Up Contest]]. Pikachu was able to imitate several Pokémon and, as a result, advanced to the finals. However, he ended up losing to [[Brock's Croagunk]].

In ''[[DP050|Tag! We're It...!]]'', Pikachu was used in the first round of the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]], where he battled alongside [[Paul's Chimchar]]. Pikachu and Chimchar faced a Rhydon and a Magmar. Pikachu started off using Thunderbolt on Magmar, but the attack got redirected to Rhydon due to its {{a|Lightning Rod}} Ability. Unharmed by the Electric-type attack, Rhydon proceeded to hit Pikachu hard with {{m|Megahorn}}. Magmar then used {{m|Lava Plume}}, dealing minor damage Rhydon. While Pikachu managed to dodge the attack, Paul had Chimchar jump right in to power up its {{type|Fire}} moves. Despite this, Chimchar's Flamethrower did little damage to Rhydon and Chimchar got hit by a powerful {{m|Hammer Arm}}. Pikachu then managed to hit Rhydon with a super-effective Iron Tail, dealing much damage. Rhydon then used {{m|Surf}}, while Magmar protected itself with Protect. Pikachu, however, managed to break through the Surf and defeat Rhydon using Iron Tail. Pikachu then used Volt Tackle, while Magmar countered with Fire Punch. This gave Chimchar the opportunity to hit Magmar with a super-effective Dig, knocking it out and causing Ash and Paul to proceed to the next round of the tournament.

In ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', Ash and Pikachu tried stopping a wild {{p|Spiritomb}} from rampaging, after the gang accidentally destroyed the [[Hallowed Tower]], thus freeing Spiritomb from the [[Odd Keystone]]. Eventually, Pikachu managed to defeat Spiritomb with Volt Tackle and Thunderbolt after a hard fought battle and the group managed to seal Spiritomb in the Keystone again.

In ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]'', Pikachu encountered Paul's Electabuzz again at [[Reggie]]'s home, where the two started fighting. The Pokémon got separated by [[Maylene's Lucario]]. Later, Pikachu was Ash's last Pokémon used in a battle against Reggie. Pikachu faced Reggie's {{p|Staraptor}}. Pikachu used Thunderbolt, but Staraptor managed to dodge and used {{m|Brave Bird}}. Pikachu tried dodging using his spin technique, but failed to do so and got hit hard. Pikachu then managed to dodge Staraptor's Steel Wing, by using Iron Tail on the ground to jump high in the air. He then used Volt Tackle, which was countered by Staraptor's {{m|Wing Attack}}, causing both Pokémon to fall down. In the end however, only Pikachu remained standing, giving Ash the win.

In ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'', an arrogant Electric-type trainer named [[Sho]] wished Ash to trade Pikachu to him, as he already had a Pichu and {{p|Raichu}} and wanted to have the full evolution line in his team. Ash obviously refused, so Sho challenged him to a battle against his powerful Raichu. Unlike Lt. Surge's Raichu, this particular Raichu was fast as well as knew powerful attacks. Pikachu's Thunderbolt was easily taken by Raichu, who then proceeded to launch Thunder at Pikachu. Pikachu unwilling to dodge, took the attack and charged in using Volt Tackle. Raichu countered with its own Volt Tackle, sending both Pokémon flying back. Raichu managed to land back on its feet, while Pikachu crashed into a rock. Both Pokémon then clashed with Iron Tail. Raichu then managed to take Pikachu's Quick Attack and started using Hyper Beam. As Pikachu was trying to get away, Raichu used its tail to trap Pikachu and proceeded to hit him with a close-range Hyper Beam, defeating him as well as seriously injuring him.
During his recovery, Pikachu began to reconsider his earlier decision not to evolve since there would always be attacks and abilities that he simply couldn't learn otherwise. When Ash went to check on Pikachu he found both Pikachu and his Thunder Stone missing, causing him to think Pikachu may had evolved into Raichu. However, he soon found Pikachu training in the forest, trying to get stronger without evolving.

After some hard training, Ash and Pikachu re-challenged Sho and Raichu. Raichu started off using Iron Tail, but Pikachu managed to constantly dodge its attacks by circling around. However, Raichu eventually managed to hit Pikachu and threw him in the air. While he was heading down Pikachu used Iron Tail to counter Raichu's Volt Tackle. Raichu then went for another Volt Tackle, but Pikachu dodged it by spinning. Pikachu then circled around again to avoid Raichu's Iron Tail attacks, causing Raichu to lose its footing. This gave Pikachu the opportunity to hit it hard with a Quick Attack. Pikachu then proceeded to dodge Raichu's attacks and immediately after hit it with its own moves, dealing much damage. Raichu, however, was still standing and managed to trap Pikachu with its tail again, while charging Hyper Beam. As Hyper Beam was launched, Pikachu used Thunderbolt to block Hyper Beam, decreasing its power. As Raichu had to recharge, Pikachu proceeded to hit Raichu with a Volt Tackle-Iron Tail combination, dealing major damage. Pikachu and Raichu then clashed with Volt Tackle, proving to be equal in power. Pikachu then avoided Raichu's Iron Tail and flung it into a tree using Iron Tail. Raichu then tried trapping Pikachu again while using Hyper Beam, but Pikachu dodged its tail and used Hyper Beam's power to jump high in the air. Pikachu then headed down using a spinning Iron Tail and finally knocked Raichu out, proving he had once again made the right decision not to evolve.

In ''[[DP083|A Crasher Course in Power!]]'', Pikachu and {{AP|Buizel}} got into a fight after Buizel got accidentally hit by Pikachu's Thunderbolt while training. Later, Pikachu was the first Pokémon used in Ash's [[Pastoria Gym]] battle. He went up against [[Crasher Wake]]'s Gyarados. Pikachu used Thunderbolt and scored a direct hit on Gyarados, but despite the super-effective attack, Gyarados was unharmed. Gyarados used {{m|Dragon Rage}}, but Pikachu blocked it with Iron Tail and used the strike to jump above Gyarados. Gyarados charged in with Bite, but Pikachu, while still in mid-air, used Volt Tackle, hitting Gyarados to the face and knocking it out. He was recalled after Crasher Wake sent out {{p|Quagsire}}.
Later, after Buizel was recalled, Pikachu went up again against {{p|Floatzel}}. He used Thunderbolt, but Floatzel countered with {{m|Whirlpool}}. The collision caused electrified water droplets to fall on Buizel, curing his confusion. Pikachu used Volt Tackle, but Floatzel overpowered it and damaged him with {{m|Razor Wind}}. Pikachu then got hit by {{m|Ice Fang}}, causing a part of his back to get frozen. Pikachu was then recalled after Buizel wanted to fight again. As they passed each other they exchanged high-fives and Buizel broke the ice on Pikachu's back with Water Gun, settling their quarrel.

[[File:Hearthome Collection Pikachu.png|thumb|220px|Pikachu in the Hearthome Collection]]
In ''[[DP086|Arriving in Style!]]'', Pikachu was used in the [[Hearthome Collection]], a fashion show for {{pkmn|Stylist}}s and their Pokémon whose winner would get the chance to work on a photo shoot for the {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Poké Chic}} magazine. At first, Pikachu was shy to go on stage wearing the outfit Ash had designed for him, but after hearing some encouraging words from Ash, he overcame his moment of shyness and went on stage to perform. He used his Thunderbolt attack to light up the [[Contest Hall|hall]], captivating the judges' attention. [[Hermione]] commented that, although Ash didn't quite get it what it means to be a Pokémon Stylist, he was at least making an effort to show off his Pokémon, instead of focusing solely on the clothing aspect. For this reason, Pikachu was among the three finalists, along with [[Dawn's Buneary]] and [[Cocoa]]'s {{p|Mismagius}}. When the results were announced, it was revealed that Ash and Pikachu ended up in third place, receiving the Unique Award for their original costumes and performance.

In ''[[DP093|Playing The Leveling Field!]]'', Pikachu was used in an unofficial battle against the [[Hearthome City]] Gym Leader [[Fantina]]. Pikachu faced her {{TP|Fantina|Drifloon}}, who had already defeated Buizel and put Chimchar to sleep. After getting hit by {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, Pikachu hit Drifloon with a super-effective Thunderbolt. He then used Volt Tackle, but Drifloon countered with {{m|Ominous Wind}}, stopping Pikachu and blowing him back. He then managed to hit Drifloon with another Thunderbolt, but this triggered Drifloon to evolve into {{p|Drifblim}}. Drifblim managed to dodge Pikachu's Thunderbolt and followed up with Hypnosis, putting him to sleep. With two of his Pokémon sleeping Ash decided to forfeit the match.

In ''[[DP101|Barry's Busting Out All Over!]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his final Pokémon in a three-on-three battle against {{an|Barry}}, where he faced [[Barry's Empoleon]]. Ash ordered Pikachu to use Thunderbolt, but Pikachu was forced to dodge Empoleon's {{m|Hydro Cannon}}. Empoleon then used Steel Wing, which clashed with Pikachu's Iron Tail. While continuously exchanging Steel Wings and Iron Tails, Pikachu eventually got hit, knocking him back. While struggling to get back up, Empoleon fired a Hyper Beam at Pikachu, launching him in the air. When it seemed to be over, Ash's words of encouragement managed to get through and Pikachu was able to hit Empoleon with a super-effective Thunderbolt. He then hit Empoleon with a powerful Volt Tackle, knocking it out.

In ''[[DP102|Shield with a Twist!]]'', Pikachu was Ash's third Pokémon in his [[Hearthome Gym]] battle. He went up against Fantina's Drifblim. Pikachu used a Thunderbolt [[Counter Shield]], hurting Drifblim as well as paralyzing it. Drifblim, however, immediately blew the electricity away with Psychic. Drifblim then used a combination of Will-O-Wisp and Psychic to create a Counter Shield of its own. Pikachu used Counter Shield again, but it was overwhelmed as Drifblim's lasted longer due to it being supported by Psychic. Drifblim's Counter Shield then surrounded Pikachu, causing him to be unable to use Thunderbolt. Drifblim then proceeded to hit Pikachu with Hypnosis, putting him to sleep, and finished him off with Ominous Wind.

In ''[[DP124|To Thine Own Pokémon Be True!]]'', Pikachu was Ash's partner in a [[Pokémon Ping Pong Tournament]]. In the first round they faced [[Wilkinson]] and his {{p|Farfetch'd}}. Despite putting up a good match, Ash and Pikachu got eliminated.

In ''[[DP132|Evolving Strategies!]]'', Pikachu was Ash's fifth Pokémon used in his Full Battle against Paul. First, he went up against {{TP|Paul|Magmortar}}. Pikachu managed to hit Magmortar with Quick Attack. However, upon making contact, he was burned by Magmortar's {{a|Flame Body}}. Pikachu then used Thunderbolt, which was countered by Magmortar's Flamethrower. He then went for Volt Tackle, which was countered by Magmortar's Rock Tomb. Despite managing to push through and destroy multiple rocks, Pikachu was eventually thrown back after crashing in one of the rocks and got immediately after damaged by his burn. Magmortar then used Smog, but Pikachu blocked it using his Thunderbolt Counter Shield. After taking more burn damage, Pikachu dodged Magmortar's Flamethrower and struck Magmortar with an Iron Tail, only to take burn damage again after. He was then recalled.

[[File:Ash Pikachu Static.png|thumb|left|250px|Static activated]]
Later, he went up against Paul's very powerful {{TP|Paul|Ursaring}}. Pikachu hit Ursaring with Quick Attack, but the Hibernator Pokémon managed to take it and hit Pikachu hard with Hammer Arm. The physical contact activated Pikachu's Static, paralyzing Ursaring, giving Pikachu the opportunity to hit it with Iron Tail. The paralysis, however, activated Ursaring's {{a|Guts}} Ability, greatly increasing Ursaring's Attack. Pikachu tried stopping Ursaring with Thunderbolt, but it managed to push through and slammed him into [[Lake Acuity]] with an extremely powerful Hammer Arm, taking him out of the match as well as injuring him. This defeat meant that Ash had to defeat Paul's remaining five Pokémon with only Chimchar.

In ''[[DP140|Historical Mystery Tour!]]'', Pikachu was used in a battle against Barry's {{p|Heracross}}. Pikachu started off using Quick Attack, but Heracross endured the hit and hit him with Horn Attack. Their battle was stopped, when Barry saw a {{p|Xatu}} flying and decided to follow it.

In [[DP141|the following episode]], Pikachu was used in the [[Twinleaf Festival]] Battle Challenge, where he was seen defeating a {{p|Feraligatr}} with Thunderbolt. In the final round Pikachu battled against Barry's Empoleon and managed to win, giving Ash the opportunity to battle [[Tower Tycoon]] [[Palmer]].

In ''[[DP160|A Marathon Rivalry!]]'', Ash used Pikachu in the Hurdle Dash event of a [[Pokéathlon]] held in [[Camellia Town]]. Pikachu and {{OBP|Daniel|DP160}}'s {{p|Snorlax}} quickly managed to take the lead and after racing neck-to-neck with Snorlax, Snorlax's large belly passed the finish line first. This meant Daniel had won the Pokéathlon with Ash ending up in second place.

Later, in ''[[DP165|Flint Sparks the Fire!]]'', Pikachu was used in a battle against [[Sinnoh Elite Four]] member {{ef|Flint}}. He faced [[Flint's Infernape]], who had already defeated Ash's Buizel and his Infernape. Pikachu first used Quick Attack, but Infernape simply took the attack and used {{m|Flare Blitz}}. Pikachu countered with Volt Tackle, causing an explosion. Infernape and Pikachu then clashed with {{m|Mach Punch}} and Iron Tail, but Infernape overpowered Pikachu sending him flying into a wall. Infernape then hit Pikachu hard with {{m|Close Combat}} and slammed him down to the ground. Before hitting the ground, Pikachu still managed to hit Infernape with Thunderbolt. Infernape then headed downwards using Flare Blitz, being unable to dodge Pikachu was hit hard by the Fire-type move. Pikachu, however, still didn't give up and used Quick Attack. Infernape took the attack again and used this chance to knock him back with Close Combat. Pikachu then used Thunderbolt, but Infernape countered with Flare Blitz, breaking through the attack and hitting him hard. Pikachu and Infernape then clashed with Volt Tackle and Mach Punch, causing an explosion, knocking Pikachu to the ground. As Pikachu went for one more Volt Tackle, Infernape countered with Thunder Punch, causing another explosion. As the smoke cleared both Pokémon were still standing, but eventually Pikachu fell down, giving Flint the win.

In ''[[DP179|The Eighth Wonder of the Sinnoh World!]]'', Pikachu battled against [[Volkner]]'s {{p|Electivire}}. Pikachu first launched a Quick Attack, which Electivire dodged. Electivire then launched a Fire Punch and {{m|Ice Punch}}, both of which were dodged. After dodging these attacks Pikachu had hit Electivire with two Thunderbolts, which Electivire absorbed due to its Ability {{a|Motor Drive}}, increasing its Speed. Due to its increased Speed, it dodged Iron Tail with ease and managed to hit Pikachu with Fire Punch. Electivire then hit Pikachu with Ice Punch, which activated Pikachu's Static, paralyzing Electivire as well as slowing it down. Due to Electivire's paralysis, Pikachu was able to dodge an Ice Punch and countered another one with Iron Tail. As Electivire went for another Ice Punch, Pikachu managed to outspeed the Thunderbolt Pokémon and defeat it with Iron Tail. Pikachu was then recalled. He later went up against Volkern's {{p|Luxray}}. His Quick Attack was stopped by {{m|Shock Wave}}, knocking him back. Pikachu then launched three successful Iron Tails but the fourth was countered by {{m|Thunder Fang}}, which overpowered Pikachu. He was then knocked out by Luxray's Shock Wave.

In the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], Ash used Pikachu as his first Pokémon in his battle against Paul in ''[[DP186|Familiarity Breeds Strategy!]]''. He was used against Paul's {{p|Aggron}}. First he and Aggron clashed with Iron Tail and Metal Claw, proving to be equal in power. Aggron then countered with {{m|Metal Sound}}, hurting Pikachu's ears. Pikachu managed to stop Aggron with Thunderbolt and headed forwards using Volt Tackle. This attack, however, was stopped by Aggron's {{m|Flash Cannon}}, dealing much damage. Pikachu was then recalled in place of Infernape. [[DP187|Later]] Pikachu was used again in Ash's battle against Paul, this time facing Paul's {{p|Froslass}}. Froslass started off using {{m|Hail}}, activating her {{a|Snow Cloak}} Ability, making it hard to keep track of Froslass's movements. As Pikachu kept getting attacked by his opponent, he tried countering with Thunderbolt. The falling hail, however, protected Froslass from Thunderbolt, giving Froslass the chance to hit Pikachu hard with an {{m|Ice Shard}}. Pikachu then tried attacking with Volt Tackle, only to be easily dodged by the Snow Land Pokémon. As Froslass went for another Ice Shard to finish Pikachu off, Pikachu managed to avoid it by jumping and hit Froslass with a super-effective Iron Tail. Due to the large amount of damage Froslass had taken, the hail disappeared. Froslass then went for an Ice Beam, freezing Pikachu. As Froslass was about to finish Pikachu off with Ice Shard, Pikachu managed to thaw out with Volt Tackle and knocked the Snow Land Pokémon out. This gave Pikachu his first win against one of Paul's Pokémon and also gave Ash the lead in the battle. He was then once again recalled. During [[DP188|the continuation of their battle]], Ash sent Pikachu out to battle Paul's Electivire. Electivire started off by using Thunder on the battle field, launching rocks at Pikachu. Pikachu, however, managed to maneuver through the rocks with Quick Attack and strike Electivire with a direct hit on the head. Electivire, however, quickly recovered and grabbed Pikachu with its tails. As Pikachu tried using Iron Tail, Electivire smacked him to the ground. Using these movements however, Pikachu managed to escape from Electivire's grip. Pikachu and Electivire then clashed with Quick Attack and Brick Break, pushing both Pokémon back. Pikachu then went for Volt Tackle. Electivire blocked the attack, activating its Motor Drive Ability. It then went for a speedy Thunder Punch, but this was countered by Pikachu's Iron Tail. Both attacks, however, proved to be equal in power making Pikachu unable to move. This gave Electivire the opportunity to use Brick Break with its other arm, knocking Pikachu out.

In ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'', Pikachu was the last Pokémon chosen by Ash to battle {{si|Tobias}} in the semi-finals of the Lily of the Valley Conference. Despite Ash losing five of his Pokémon, Pikachu tried his best to defeat Tobias's {{p|Latios}}. In the beginning almost none of his attacks hit or did any damage to Latios and his attacks got easily overwhelmed by Latios's powerful attacks. However, Pikachu finally managed to jump on top of Latios and used Thunderbolt to severely damage Latios. Latios then used Light Screen, reducing the damage caused by Thunderbolt. Despite this Pikachu kept using Thunderbolt until he was shaken off. As Pikachu was about to land, Latios used {{m|Luster Purge}}. Pikachu used Volt Tackle and Iron Tail, taking against the force of the Luster Purge, causing a massive explosion. In the end, however, both he and Latios fainted. As Ash's last Pokémon had fainted, Tobias was crowned the winner of their battle, placing Ash in the Top 4 of the Lily of the Valley Conference.

In ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'', Pikachu helped search for {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}, when he had run away. Upon finding Piplup, both Pokémon broke down in tears, since they soon had to say goodbye to each other. Then Team Rocket appeared, but Pikachu and Piplup managed to blast them off with a Volt Tackle and Hydro Pump combination. Later, Pikachu said goodbye to Dawn and Piplup, before he, Ash and Brock boarded the ship heading to [[Kanto]]. Upon arriving in Kanto, Pikachu and Ash finally bade farewell to Brock too and the two continued on towards Pallet Town.

==={{series|Best Wishes}}===
====Unova====
Ash decided to just bring Pikachu to [[Unova]] with him, just as he did in Hoenn. In ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'', Pikachu joined Ash, [[Delia]] and Professor Oak on a trip to the Unova region. Upon arriving in Unova, Pikachu had an encounter with {{p|Zekrom}}, which unaware by Ash, caused him to lose his ability to use Electric-type moves. Ash finally noticed this during his battle against [[Trip]] and his {{TP|Trip|Snivy}}. After scoring a direct hit with Quick Attack and avoiding Snivy's Tackle, Pikachu tried to use Thunderbolt, but was unable to and got hit by a Tackle. Unable to use Thunderbolt again, he went for Volt Tackle, but failed to use this move as well, wearing Pikachu out greatly. Noticing Pikachu's inability of using Electric-type moves, Ash ordered Pikachu to use Iron Tail. This attack, however, was dodged by Snivy, who then proceeded to defeat the exhausted Pikachu with {{m|Leaf Tornado}}. In [[BW002|the next episode]], Pikachu recovered his Electric-type moves.

In ''[[BW005|Triple Leaders, Team Threats!]]'', Ash used Pikachu in his second battle at the [[Striaton Gym]], where he faced [[Cress]] and his {{p|Panpour}}.

In ''[[BW010|A Rival Battle for Club Champ!]]'', he battled Trip's {{p|Tranquill}}, who had already taken out [[Ash's Oshawott]] and {{AP|Tepig}}. After his Thunderbolt was dodged, Pikachu took a beating from multiple {{m|Work Up}}-boosted Aerial Aces. As Pikachu was about to be finished off, he managed to grab Tranquill's foot. He then threw Tranquill in the air and defeated it with Volt Tackle. He then battled Snivy again, who had evolved into Servine. Pikachu first used Iron Tail, which collided with Servine's {{m|Cut}}, but was then hit by Servine's Leaf Tornado. Pikachu stood up and went for Volt Tackle. Servine, however, managed to strike the running Pikachu with Cut, knocking him out.

In ''[[BW013|Minccino—Neat and Tidy!]]'', Pikachu was used in a battle against {{an|Bianca}} and her {{TP|Bianca|Pignite}}. As Pikachu headed forwards he got hit by Pignite's Take Down, followed up by a powerful {{m|Heat Crash}}. Pikachu managed to get up and countered Pignite's {{m|Flame Charge}} with Volt Tackle. After both Pokémon got blown back by the collision, only Pikachu remained standing, giving Ash the win.

In ''[[BW020|Dancing With the Ducklett Trio!]]'', a trio of troublemaking {{p|Ducklett}} stole [[Ash's hat]] and [[Sunglasses Sandile|Sandile]]'s sunglasses. Pikachu assisted Sandile in defeating them. After unintentionally shocking himself with Thunderbolt, because he was stuck in a beach umbrella, Pikachu couldn't use Electric-type attacks. Eventually his anger caused him to learn {{m|Electro Ball}} and blasted the Ducklett off with his new move as well as recovering his ability to use Electric-type moves. Later on, he battled against the Sunglasses Sandile. Pikachu got hit by {{m|Stone Edge}}, but immediately countered with Quick Attack. As Pikachu used Iron Tail, Sandile used Dig to avoid getting hit and hit Pikachu hard. Sandile then used another Dig, hitting Pikachu again. As Pikachu had trouble getting up, Sandile suddenly evolved into {{p|Krokorok}}. Krokorok then went for Stone Edge, but Pikachu used Electro Ball to deflect Stone Edge back at Krokorok, defeating it and blasting it off.

In ''[[BW023|Battling For The Love of Bug-Types!]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his last Pokémon in his [[Castelia Gym]] battle, where he went up against [[Burgh]]'s {{p|Leavanny}}. Pikachu used Thunderbolt, which was dodged. He then used Iron Tail, but this was blocked by Leavanny's Protect. Leavanny's {{m|Leaf Storm}} was countered by Pikachu's Thunderbolt, but it then used {{m|String Shot}} on Pikachu, binding him, making him unable to dodge Leaf Storm and causing him to lose his balance. Unable to break free from the strings he was hit by Leaf Storm again. He then tried a Thunderbolt but missed due to his loss of balance. He was then hit by a powerful Hyper Beam, but refused to give up. When Leavanny used Leaf Storm, Pikachu spun and charged into the Leaf Storm, cutting the threads. Pikachu then dodged Leavanny's String Shot's with Quick Attack. After countering another String Shot with Thunderbolt, he hit Leavanny with Iron Tail and finished the Nurturing Pokémon off with Electro Ball, earning Ash the {{badge|Insect}}.

In ''[[BW042|Club Battle Finale: A Hero's Outcome!]]'', Ash used Pikachu in the final round of the [[Club Battle]] against {{an|Iris}}. Pikachu went up against [[Iris's Excadrill]]. Ash had Pikachu start off with an ineffective Thunderbolt to show they were getting serious. Pikachu and Excadrill then collided with Quick Attack and {{m|Drill Run}}, but Excadrill immediately turned and grabbed Pikachu's tail. He then threw Pikachu in the air and hit him hard with Metal Claw. Pikachu then went for Iron Tail. Excadrill tried countering with Metal Claw, but Pikachu managed to dodge it and hit him hard. After a collision between Pikachu's Electro Ball and Excadrill's {{m|Focus Blast}}, Excadrill used Dig to hit Pikachu from beneath, launching him in the air spinning. Pikachu, however, kept spinning and used this to hit Excadrill with an extra powerful Iron Tail. Pikachu then went for Iron Tail, but got overpowered by Drill Run. He then barely dodged a Dig, but was then unable to dodge Excadrill's Focus Blast, knocking him out, making Iris the winner of the tournament.

In ''[[BW050|Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!]]'', when Ash was in doubt for what Pokémon he should use after his two Pokémon were defeated in his Gym battle against [[Elesa]], Pikachu shocked Ash to convince him to use him. He went up against Elesa's powerful {{p|Emolga}}. After both Pokémon's Electro Balls collided, Pikachu defeated the Sky Squirrel Pokémon with a single Quick Attack. Pikachu then faced Elesa's {{p|Tynamo}}. Despite her not looking very strong, Tynamo proved to be a tough opponent, using speedy and strong Tackles to hit Pikachu hard. Tynamo managed to slam Pikachu into the ground. While stuck in the ground he was unable to defend himself against Tynamo's countless Tackles. Pikachu eventually managed to break free and started using Thunderbolt on the battle field. The now rocky field forced Tynamo to face Pikachu head on only. Tynamo then dashed forwards using Tackle. Pikachu had Tynamo come close and then launched a powerful Iron Tail, defeating her thus winning Ash the {{Badge|Bolt}}.

In ''[[BW052|Ash Versus the Champion!]]'', Pikachu was used in a battle against the [[Unova League]] [[Champion]] [[Alder]], where he faced his {{p|Bouffalant}}. Pikachu hit Bouffalant with all his attacks, but it absorbed the hits with its afro. Alder, however, didn't give any orders, causing Bouffalant to get angry. It was then revealed Alder was sleeping. After he was woken up, Alder ordered Bouffalant to use {{m|Head Charge}}, but Bouffalant still angry at him used the attack on him instead. The battle was then called off.

In ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]'', Pikachu teamed up with [[Cilan's Stunfisk]] to battle {{p|Tornadus}} and {{p|Thundurus}}. Stunfisk used its amazing jumping ability to get them both into the air so that they could launch a Thunderbolt—Thunder Shock combination at the two legendary Pokémon. Later, in ''[[BW060|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 2]]'', Pikachu helped rescue the {{an|Forces of Nature}} from Team Rocket.

In ''[[BW068|An Amazing Aerial Battle!]]'', Ash used Pikachu against [[Skyla]]'s {{p|Unfezant}} in his [[Mistralton Gym]] battle. After dodging Pikachu's Electro Ball, Unfezant used {{m|Air Slash}}, which managed to hit Pikachu. As Unfezant then headed towards Pikachu using Aerial Ace, Pikachu lured him in to hit him hard with Iron Tail. Unfezant was then finished off by Electro Ball. Pikachu stayed in the battle to fight Skyla's last Pokémon, {{TP|Skyla|Swanna}}. Despite Swanna major Electric weakness, Pikachu's Electric-type moves proved to be useless, as Swanna used {{m|Aqua Ring}} to protect itself against them. Pikachu then used Iron Tail, but Swanna ascended and dodged the attack. Ash then had the idea to have Pikachu jump on the rings above the battle field, while using Quick Attack, to get close to Swanna and managed to hit the White Bird Pokémon hard. Swanna, however, quickly recovered and hit Pikachu with Bubble Beam, knocking him to the ground. Pikachu was then hit by a powerful {{m|Hurricane}} and got finished off by a brutal Brave Bird.

In ''[[BW069|Climbing the Tower of Success!]]'', Ash and Pikachu entered the [[Wishing Bell Festival]]. By working together they managed to reach the final round, where they had to climb [[Mistralton Tower]] while protecting the flame of their {{p|Litwick}} candle. Despite Pikachu doing his best to protect the candle from a bunch of {{p|Pidove}}'s attacks, [[Stephan]]'s Litwick 'candle' blew out Ash's candle, causing Ash to end up in second place.

In ''[[BW084|Rocking the Virbank Gym! Part 2]]'', Ash chose Pikachu as his final Pokémon in his Gym battle with [[Roxie]]. He faced Roxie's strongest Pokémon, {{p|Garbodor}}, who had already beaten Ash's Pignite and {{AP|Palpitoad}}. Garbodor started off using Double Slap, but Pikachu used his swift movements to dodge Garbodor's long arms, causing them to tangle up. Pikachu used this opportunity to hit Garbodor hard with Quick Attack. Garbodor then attacked by swinging its arms at Pikachu, but he managed to dodge again and shocked the Trash Heap Pokémon with a powerful Thunderbolt. As Pikachu went for an Iron Tail, Garbodor knocked him back with its arms and followed up with several {{m|Gunk Shot}}s. Cornered by these attacks, Pikachu got caught by Garbodor's arms and was then hit by a series of Double Slaps. He was then hit by Gunk Shot, {{status|poison}}ing him. Roxie then ordered Garbodor to finish Pikachu off with {{m|Venoshock}}, but due to all the [[physical move|physical contact]] Pikachu had made with Garbodor, Pikachu's Static Ability had activated, paralyzing Garbodor. Pikachu used this opportunity to hit Garbodor with Thunderbolt, but it was able to withstand it and used Venoshock. Pikachu, however, overpowered the attack with Electro Ball and hit Garbodor, knocking it out, making Ash victorious and earning him his eighth and final Unova Badge, the {{badge|Toxic}}, thus allowing him to enter the Unova League.

In ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]'', Pikachu was used in one final battle against Dawn, before she headed to Johto. He faced her {{TP|Dawn|Quilava}}. Pikachu used Quick Attack, taking hits from Quilava's Swift, before his attack was dodged. Quilava then used {{m|Flame Wheel}}, which he dodged in time. Pikachu fired off an Electro Ball, which collided with Quilava's Flamethrower. Quilava then used {{m|Smokescreen}}, but Pikachu's Thunderbolt pierced through the smoke and he then attacked with Iron Tail. Quilava, however, countered with Flamethrower, overpowering Pikachu. Both Pokémon kept exchanging attacks, with Quilava's Swift being deflected by Pikachu's Iron Tail and a collision between Thunderbolt and Flamethrower. Pikachu and Quilava collided once more, with Quick Attack and Flame Wheel, knocking both Pokémon back. The battle was then called off by [[Cynthia]].

In ''[[BW096|Meloetta and the Undersea Temple!]]'', Ash and Pikachu battled {{an|Giovanni}} and his {{TP|Giovanni|Persian}}, trying to protect {{an|Meloetta}}. Pikachu outsped Persian's {{m|Shadow Claw}} and scored a hit with Iron Tail. Persian, however, immediately followed up with {{m|Power Gem}}, defeating Pikachu. Giovanni then successfully captured Meloetta, and took it, along with the imprisoned Ash and Pikachu, to the [[Abyssal Ruins]]. In [[BW097|the next episode]], Pikachu managed to break Team Rocket's force field prison by striking it repeatedly with Iron Tail, freeing both Ash and himself. Later, during the battle against the mind-controlled [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Forces of Nature|Therian Forme]] Forces of Nature, as Thundurus aimed a Thunder attack at [[Iris's Dragonite]] and Iris stepped in its way to protect her Pokémon, Pikachu jumped in, and absorbed the massive blast of electricity himself. This gave Pikachu a tremendous power boost, as seen later, when Ash told Pikachu to use Electro Ball on Team Rocket. The supercharged attack grew into amazingly massive proportions, inflicting notable damage on the Abyssal Ruins, sending Team Rocket flying, and freeing Meloetta.

In ''[[BW103|Curtain Up, Unova League!]]'', Ash used Pikachu in the preliminary round of the [[Vertress Conference]] against Trip's Serperior. Pikachu's attacks were easily dodged by Serperior, while the Regal Pokémon scored a direct on Pikachu with {{m|Dragon Tail}}. In ''[[BW104|Mission: Defeat Your Rival!]]'', Pikachu continued his battle with Serperior. Pikachu managed to stand up, but got immediately hit by an {{m|Energy Ball}}. Pikachu then managed to dodge a Dragon Tail, but got hit by another one. Serperior then proceeded to grab Pikachu with {{m|Wrap}}. While in Serperior's grasp, Pikachu hit him with Thunderbolt, but Trip quickly had Serperior anchor his tail in the ground, conducting the electricity to the ground, preventing damage. Serperior then tightened his grip, causing Pikachu to lose consciousness. When Serperior was about to finish Pikachu off by slamming him to the ground, Pikachu was awoken by Ash's voice and managed to escape from Serperior's grip by using Iron Tail on the ground. Pikachu's Iron Tail was then countered and overpowered by Serperior's Dragon Tail. Pikachu, however, still didn't give in and used an Electro Ball-Iron Tail combination, which clashed with Dragon Tail, causing a huge explosion. After the smoke cleared only Pikachu remained standing, giving Ash the win as well as his first win against Trip.

In ''[[BW107|Cameron's Secret Weapon!]]'', Ash used Pikachu against {{un|Cameron}}'s {{p|Samurott}}. Samurott blocked Pikachu's Thunderbolt with {{m|Razor Shell}}. Pikachu then went for Quick Attack, but he was overwhelmed by Samurott's Razor Shell and was then hit by a powerful Hydro Cannon. Pikachu then dodged a Megahorn and used Quick Attack. He managed to dodge Razor Shell and hit Samurott hard with Quick Attack, followed up by a powerful Iron Tail. Samurott then blocked an Electro Ball with Razor Shell, but Pikachu immediately followed up with Iron Tail, defeating the Formidable Pokémon. Pikachu stayed in to battle Cameron's Swanna. Swanna started off using a series of {{m|Pluck}} attacks, which were all dodged by Pikachu. Pikachu then used Quick Attack, but Swanna avoided the attack and struck him with Wing Attack. Swanna then went for Bubble Beam, but this was dodged by Pikachu. Swanna then dove towards Pikachu using Wing Attack, but he dodged again and launched a super-effective Electro Ball at the White Bird Pokémon, knocking it out. Pikachu was then recalled. [[BW108|Later during the battle]], Ash sent Pikachu out to face Cameron's newly evolved {{TP|Cameron|Lucario}}, which had just defeated {{AP|Snivy}}, leaving him as Ash's last Pokémon. Pikachu started off by repeatedly using Quick attack, each time scoring a direct hit. He then tried to finish Lucario off with Iron Tail, but Lucario quickly dodged. Lucario then jumped towards Pikachu and hit him hard with {{m|Force Palm}}. Pikachu's Electro Ball then collided with Lucario's {{m|Aura Sphere}}, blowing both Pokémon back. Pikachu then managed to avoid Force Palm, but Lucario chased after him and threw him in the air using {{m|Circle Throw}}. Pikachu, however, managed to land on his feet and struck Lucario with a powerful Thunderbolt, followed up by a Quick Attack. He then went for Iron Tail, but Lucario used {{m|Copycat}} to counter his attack, causing a big explosion. Despite the large amount of damage both Pokémon had taken, they still managed to stand up. At the end of the climactic fight, Pikachu and Lucario fired blasts of Electro Ball and Aura Sphere. Aura Sphere, however, overpowered Electro Ball, knocking Pikachu out, and thus eliminating Ash from the Vertress Conference, placing him in Top 8.

In ''[[BW112|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot]]'', Pikachu battled wild Pokémon, controlled by [[Colress]], trying to free them and stop [[Team Plasma]]. Impressed by Pikachu's power, Colress managed to gain control over Pikachu by attaching a receiver to his head and ordered him to attack Ash and the group. As Colress was increasing the power of the EM waves, Ash begged Pikachu to fight the control. Fighting against the control, the receiver overloaded and got destroyed, freeing Pikachu from Team Plasma's control.

In ''[[BW121|Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!]]'', Pikachu along with Ash's other Pokémon fought against Team Plasma's Pokémon in order to prevent them from awakening {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Reshiram}}. Colress, however, then activated his improved mind-control machine and managed to hit Pikachu with the machine's laser, controlling him again. This time however, Ash's voice didn't manage to get through Pikachu's control and he was knocked unconscious by Pikachu's Thunderbolt. {{an|N}} then offered to give Team Plasma the {{DL|Dragon Stones|Light Stone}} in exchange for them freeing Pikachu from their control, to which they agreed. In [[BW122|the next episode]], Pikachu tried to destroy Colress's machine to free Reshiram and all the other Pokémon from [[Ghetsis]]'s control. However, he was ultimately hit by the laser, which put him under control once again. To everyone's surprise, Pikachu managed to resist the machine's influence, using his own electricity to fight Ghetsis's control, and used Thunderbolt on Reshiram in an attempt to help it escape from Ghetsis's control as well. Despite Colress increasing the machine's power, Pikachu kept resisting and together with Reshiram destroyed the machine with Electro Ball and {{m|Fusion Flare}}, freeing all Pokémon from Team Plasma's control, thus defeating the team.

[[File:Bulbasaur and Pikachu.png|thumb|250px|Pikachu reuniting with Bulbasaur]]
In ''[[BW125|Cilan and the Case of the Purrloin Witness!]],'' Pikachu participated in the [[Marine Cup Tournament]]. He managed to beat other Trainers with a {{p|Gurdurr}} and an {{p|Eelektrik}} and make it to the finals. He battled against [[Teaque]]'s {{p|Galvantula}}. After a tough battle, Pikachu was able to knock out Galvantula with Iron Tail, winning the tournament for Ash.

In ''[[BW141|Best Wishes Until We Meet Again!]]'', Pikachu, along with {{TP|Iris|Axew}} was captured by Team Rocket, while Ash, Iris and {{an|Cilan}} were trapped inside the ship's cargo space. He was eventually freed out of the net and together with Axew using Dragon Rage, Charizard using Flamethrower and {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}} using Solar Beam, Pikachu used Thunderbolt to blast Team Rocket off. Later, Pikachu said farewell to Axew, Iris and Cilan as he, Ash and [[Alexa]] continued on to Pallet Town.

Pikachu was reunited with Bulbasaur and the entire Unova team at Professor Oak's Laboratory in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''. He joined the others in a group attack on Team Rocket with his Thunderbolt to send them blasting off for the last time in the ''Best Wishes'' series. Pikachu then continued to travel with Ash when he set off for the [[Kalos]] region.

==={{series|XY}}===
In ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', Ash and Pikachu arrived in Kalos by plane along with Alexa. After being thrown out of the [[Lumiose Gym]] for not having enough Gym Badges, Ash was saved by {{an|Clemont}} while Pikachu was saved by {{an|Bonnie}}. Bonnie was excited to be holding Pikachu, leading to him shocking her because she was holding him too tightly. After becoming acquainted with their rescuers, Ash challenged Clemont to a battle, which Clemont reluctantly agreed to.

[[File:Ash and Pikachu.png|thumb|250px|left|Ash and Pikachu]]

In the battle, Pikachu faced [[Clemont's Bunnelby]]. Despite Clemont admitting that he only recently caught Bunnelby, he proved to be quite a challenge for Pikachu. Pikachu's Thunderbolt was blocked by Bunnelby, who used his ears to create a mud shield. Bunnelby then used Dig. Pikachu tried to confuse Bunnelby with his speedy movements, but the Digging Pokémon was able to hit him. Pikachu then scored a direct hit with Quick Attack, which Bunnelby quickly recovered from. Bunnelby then used Double Slap, hitting him several times before knocking him back. Pikachu then used Iron Tail which Bunnelby easily caught with his ears. Now, however, Bunnelby was unable to use his ears, giving Pikachu the opportunity to hit the Digging Pokémon with Electro Ball. The battle was then interrupted by Team Rocket, who once again attempted to steal Pikachu for their plans. Ash attempted to stop them, but Jessie had her Wobbuffet reflect Pikachu's attacks with {{m|Mirror Coat}}. Pikachu was saved by a {{AP|Froakie}}, who shielded Pikachu with its body at the cost of being injured. With Bunnelby and Froakie's help, Pikachu was used to blast off the villains. Froakie soon collapsed from its injuries, so Ash, Pikachu, and their new friends went to [[Professor Sycamore]] to heal Froakie back to health.

In ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'', Ash and Pikachu managed to get Froakie to Professor Sycamore so that he could be healed. When Professor Sycamore's {{p|Garchomp}} went crazy from one of Team Rocket's devices, Pikachu and Ash pursued her to get the device off and free her. After chasing her to the top of Prism Tower, Pikachu removed the device from Garchomp's neck with Iron Tail. However, due to the fight damaging the tower, the ground Pikachu was standing on broke off, causing him to fall off with Ash immediately leaping in to save his best friend, to the shock of many including {{an|Serena}}. They were both saved by a {{me|Blaziken}}, who intercepted them in the air and put the two safely back onto the ground.

In ''[[XY005|A Blustery Santalune Gym Battle!]]'', Pikachu was the first Pokémon Ash used during his [[Santalune Gym]] battle with [[Viola]], sending him out to face her {{p|Surskit}}. Despite the type-advantage, Surskit proved to be a tough opponenent, using its speedy movements to dodge Pikachu's attacks. Pikachu's Quick Attack was blocked by Protect and his Iron Tail was dodged. After blocking Pikachu's Electro Ball with Ice Beam, it used Ice Beam on the field, freezing it. While Pikachu slipped on the ice, Surskit was able to skate on it. Although Pikachu did get a successful hit with Iron Tail, his Thunderbolt was overpowered by Ice Beam and he was then knocked out by {{m|Signal Beam}}. After he was healed at the Pokémon Center, he trained with {{AP|Fletchling}} for their rematch by using Alexa's {{p|Noivern}}'s {{m|Gust}} to help them withstand {{p|Vivillon}}'s Gust, who beat Fletchling in the first battle.

In ''[[XY006|Battling on Thin Ice!]]'', continuing his training along with Fletchling, they were able to withstand Noivern's Gust well. Later, using one of Clemont's inventions, they practiced to avoid Surskit's {{m|Sticky Web}}. After it broke, they used Froakie and its Frubbles instead to practice. The next day, Pikachu was Ash's first Pokémon for his Gym Battle rematch against Viola, where he again went up against her Surskit. Using his training he was able to dodge Sticky Web, and after having his Thunderbolt blocked by Surskit's Protect and dodging its Signal Beam, he was able to hit Surskit with Iron Tail. Afterwards, Pikachu tried to stop Surskit from using Ice Beam on the field by climbing on it and using Thunderbolt, but Surskit was able to shake him off and managed to create the ice field as well as freezing the area. This time, however, using his tail, Pikachu was able to stabilize himself on the ice field. His Thunderbolt then overpowered Surskit's Signal Beam, defeating the Pond Skater Pokémon. Ash recalled Pikachu and substituted him for Fletchling. He was later called out again to battle Vivillon, who had beaten Fletchling. Vivillon attacked with Gust, but as Pikachu was still damaged from battling Surskit, he wasn't able to withstand attack. As Vivillon went for another Gust, Ash had Pikachu use Iron Tail to anchor himself to the ice field to withstand the attack. Vivillon then used Solar Beam, which was countered with Thunderbolt. In his current position, however, Pikachu was left vulnerable to Vivillon's {{m|Sleep Powder}} and got hit. While he was struggling to stay awake, Vivillon charged its Solar Beam. Thinking back to their training, Ash had Pikachu use Electro Ball on himself to repel Sleep Powder, thus keeping him awake. Vivillon then launched the Solar Beam, but Pikachu was able to overpower it with Electro Ball, causing Vivillon to crash into the lamps which were frozen by Surskit's Ice Beam misfire, freezing its wing. This allowed Pikachu to defeat the Scale Pokémon with Thunderbolt, earning Ash the {{badge|Bug}}.

[[File:Officer Jenny Pikachu.png|thumb|250px|right|Pikachu hypnotized by [[Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime#Malamar|Malamar]]]]
In ''[[XY019|A Conspiracy to Conquer!]]'', after overhearing one of Team Rocket's conversations, [[Officer Jenny|Madame X]] and her [[Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime#Malamar|Malamar]] captured Pikachu. After Clemont attempted to use his "Automatic Pikachu Retrieving Device" to find Pikachu, it was revealed that Malamar had hypnotized Pikachu, making him one of Madame X's subordinates. While searching for Pikachu, Clemont, Bonnie, and Serena were also hypnotized by Malamar. Once Ash and Meowth finally found Pikachu, Team Rocket, and Madame X, Madame X forced Pikachu to attack Ash. Ash attempted to get through to Pikachu, which works and Pikachu starts to fight Malamar control. Pikachu electricity did get the Automatic Pikachu Retrieving Device to bursted in and rammed into Malamar, causing it to lose its control over everyone. After Malamar revealed his plans through Meowth, Pikachu attempted to attack it, but Malamar managed to escape.

In ''[[XY025|Climbing the Walls!]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his third and final Pokémon in his [[Cyllage Gym]] battle against [[Grant]]. He went up against his {{p|Tyrunt}}. Pikachu was at a type-disadvantage since Tyrunt was part {{type|Dragon}}. Pikachu used Quick Attack and jumped to attack from above to avoid {{m|Crunch}} and hit Tyrunt. Tyrunt then used its signature {{m|Draco Meteor}}, but Pikachu dodged and struck it with a super-effective Iron Tail. As the meteor shower from Draco Meteor rained down, Pikachu used Iron Tail to jump on the meteors and perform the Draco Meteor Climb, which was based on the Rock Tomb Climb Froakie previously used. Tyrunt then used its jumping abilities to jump high and use Dragon Tail and clashed with Pikachu's Iron Tail. Grant then had Tyrunt use his favorite move, Rock Tomb, but Pikachu deflected the projectiles with Iron Tail, knocking one into Tyrunt's mouth. While Tyrunt was now unable to use Crunch, Pikachu had the opportunity to move close and finish with Ash's favorite move, Thunderbolt, defeating Tyrunt, winning the battle and earning Ash the {{badge|Cliff}}.

In ''[[XY028|The Bonds of Evolution!]]'', Pikachu was used in the Ash's battle against [[Diantha]], the [[Kalos League]] Champion, where he faced her {{p|Gardevoir}}. {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}} managed to dodge all of Pikachu's attacks and hit him hard with a Shadow Ball. The battle was then interrupted by Team Rocket.

In ''[[XY030|Mega Revelations!]]'', Pikachu battled against [[Korrina's Lucario]]. Pikachu's Quick Attack was easily taken by Lucario and his Iron Tail was blocked. Lucario used its great speed to dodge an Iron Tail and then raised its Attack using {{m|Swords Dance}}. Pikachu was then unable to dodge Lucario's speedy attacks and got hit by several {{m|Bone Rush}}es and was then finished off by a powerful {{m|Power-Up Punch}}.

Pikachu battled Lucario again in ''[[XY032|The Aura Storm!]]'', but this time against Lucario's Mega Evolved form. Mega Lucario used Bone Rush, but Pikachu managed to knock the bone away with Iron Tail. Pikachu then went for Quick Attack and managed to dodge a Power-Up Punch. Lucario, however, started to go out of control and chased after him before kicking him into a rock. Pikachu then went for Electro Ball, but it dodged it and now started to attack Pikachu aggressively, forcing Ash to protect Pikachu. As Lucario went to attack Ash and Pikachu, [[Gurkinn]] sent out his {{p|Lucario}} to block the attack. Lucario then lost its conscious and the battle was called off.

In ''[[XY042|Battling Into the Hall of Fame!]]'', Pikachu was used in a [[Multi Battle|Team Battle]] alongside with [[Serena's Fennekin]] and [[Clemont's Chespin]] against {{an|Tierno}}'s {{TP|Tierno|Squirtle}}, {{an|Shauna}}'s {{TP|Shauna|Bulbasaur}}, and {{an|Trevor}}'s {{TP|Trevor|Charmander}}. Pikachu and the others were having a hard time due to their opponents great teamwork, which led to Fennekin being defeated by Squirtle. When Pikachu used Quick Attack, Squirtle used Rapid Spin to block and send Pikachu flying. He also took some damage from the embers from Charmander's {{m|Flame Burst}} and he and the others were then hit by Bulbasaur's Razor Leaf. Pikachu then jumped to dodge a Flamethrower, but was then targeted by Bulbasaur's Solar Beam. Much to Shauna and her friends's surprise, Chespin used Vine Whip to pull Pikachu up, giving Pikachu the perfect opportunity to defeat Charmander with Thunderbolt. When Squirtle used Rapid Spin, Chespin used Vine Whip to stop it, while Pikachu managed to defeat Bulbasaur with Electro Ball. After avoiding Squirtle's {{m|Aqua Tail}}, Pikachu also defeated it with Thunderbolt giving Ash, Serena and Clemont the win {{tt|and the spot on the Hall of Fame|Despite having one point less than Team Chikorita, as the final scores were inconsistent with the points given on screen}}.

In ''[[XY044|Showdown at the Shalour Gym!]]'', Pikachu was the last Pokémon Ash used during his [[Shalour Gym]] battle with [[Korrina]], sending him out to face Korrina's Mega Lucario. Ash was convinced that Korrina wasn't the only one who trained, both Pokémon stared off as this was going to be the final battle. Pikachu used Quick Attack and combined it with Electro Ball, launching a fast Electro Ball, but this was deflected by Bone Rush. Pikachu's Iron Tail was blocked and Lucario kicked him into the air. While in mid-air, Pikachu hit Lucario with Thunderbolt, but it immediately countered with Aura Sphere, knocking him to the ground. Pikachu was able to get to up and showed his strength by unleashing his electricity. Lucario then used Metal Sound, which Pikachu drowned out using his Thunderbolt hitting Lucario as well. Then Lucario used Aura Sphere, but Pikachu used Iron Tail to bounce off it and jump, similar to the Draco Meteor Climb. Lucario jumped towards Pikachu and used Bone Rush, but Pikachu countered with Iron Tail. While both Pokémon were clashing with their attacks, they both crashed down on the ground. Both Pokémon, however, were still standing. Lucario's Power-Up Punch was then countered with Iron Tail, and its Aura Sphere then collided with Pikachu's Electro Ball. Pikachu was able to recover first from the collision and struck Lucario with Thunderbolt, finally defeating the Aura Pokémon, thus giving Ash the victory and earning him the {{badge|Rumble}}. As the group prepared to depart for [[Coumarine City]], Pikachu and Lucario bumped fists as a promise to battle again someday.

In ''[[XY055|A Slippery Encounter!]]'', Pikachu helped out a {{AP|Goomy}}, after they were stolen by Team Rocket. Knowing that his Thunderbolt wouldn't break their cage, Pikachu kept ramming it and managed to bend the bars. While Goomy managed to escape, Pikachu couldn't fit through until Goomy used its slime on its body to make him slip right through the bars. After getting out, they both ran off until they were noticed by Team Rocket, who gave chase. When Pikachu and Goomy were about to be hit by Jessie's {{TP|Jessie|Pumpkaboo}}'s Shadow Ball, Ash arrived with Fletchinder to protect them. When Team Rocket were about to capture Pikachu again, Ash told him to use Iron Tail, destroying the cage. While battling their foes, Pikachu used Electro Ball, countering Pumpkaboo's Shadow Ball. Then {{TP|James|Inkay}} used Psybeam, which managed to confuse Pikachu and Fletchinder, causing them to attack each other instead. As they were about to be finished off by Pumpkaboo and Inkay's {{m|Dark Pulse}} and Psybeam, Goomy shielded them with its body and used {{m|Bide}} to attack Team Rocket's Pokémon. As the confusion wore off, Ash had Pikachu finish Team Rocket off with Thunderbolt. Later, Pikachu informed to Ash that Goomy wanted to go with them, allowing him to capture it.

In ''[[XY065|Good Friends, Great Training!]]'', Pikachu alongside Sliggoo was used in a Double Battle against Tierno's Wartortle and Raichu. Before the battle could start, he was grabbed by a mecha created by Team Rocket, but Sliggoo was able to save Pikachu with Dragon Breath. After the mecha took Sliggoo, along with Wartortle and Raichu, Pikachu split up with Ash and Serena to look for them. After Sliggoo evolved into Goodra to save Ash and Pikachu, they restarted their battle. Pikachu hit Wartortle with Quick Attack and then quickly backed off to avoid a Rapid Spin. While Goodra was charging its Bide, Raichu fired a Focus Blast at it. Pikachu tried blocking the attack with Electro Ball, but got hit by Wartortle's Rapid Spin. Goodra, however, withstood the attack and fired off its Bide. Wartortle tried countering with Hydro Pump, but Pikachu blocked the attack with Iron Tail, causing Bide to hit its mark. Pikachu then countered Raichu's Focus Blast with Electro Ball to protect Goodra and after Goodra managed to daze both Pokémon by throwing Wartortle into Raichu, Pikachu and Goodra defeated them with a Thunderbolt and {{m|Dragon Pulse}} combo.

In ''[[XY067|The Moment of Lumiose Truth!]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his first Pokémon in his Lumiose Gym Battle against Clemont and went up against his Bunnelby. Pikachu used Thunderbolt, which was blocked by Bunnelby, who used his ears to create a mud shield. Bunnelby then used Dig, which was too fast for Pikachu to evade. Pikachu hit Bunnelby with Quick Attack, which Bunnelby quickly recovered from and managed to hit Pikachu several times with Double Slap. Pikachu then used Iron Tail which the Digging Pokémon caught with his ears. This reminded Bonnie of their first battle. Instead of letting Pikachu counter with Electro Ball, Bunnelby used his new move, {{m|Wild Charge}}, dealing major damage to Pikachu. Bunnelby then hit Pikachu with another Dig. He then responded with Quick Attack, but Bunnelby used Dig again. However, Ash had Pikachu use Iron Tail on the ground, forcing Bunnelby to emerge and dealing major damage. Pikachu then used another Iron Tail, defeating Bunnelby. When Clemont sent out {{TP|Clemont|Heliolisk}}, Ash recalled Pikachu. He was later sent out to battle Clemont's last Pokémon, {{TP|Clemont|Luxray}}. Pikachu could take advantage of Luxray's {{m|Electric Terrain}}, which increased the power of Electric-type moves. Pikachu first used Thunderbolt, which was blocked by Luxray's Thunder Fang. He then used Wild Charge on Pikachu, dealing a lot of damage. Luxray followed up with Swift, but Pikachu was able to deflect it back to Luxray with Iron Tail. However, the Gleam Eyes Pokémon countered with Wild Charge, defeating Pikachu.

In ''[[XY075|Rivals: Today and Tomorrow!]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his first Pokémon in his three round battle against [[Sawyer]]. He went up against {{p|Bagon}}, although he had a type-disadvantage. Pikachu's speedy Quick Attack was able to outmaneuver Bagon's Headbutt. After Thunderbolt and Dragon Breath collided in a draw, Pikachu jumped into the air and prepared to use Iron Tail. Sawyer had Bagon use Dragon Claw, but it was overpowered by Iron Tail and Pikachu knocked the Rock Head Pokémon out.

In ''[[XY079|A Frenzied Factory Fiasco!]]'', Pikachu, along with Ash and his friends, visited the [[Poké Ball Factory]]. There, they were tricked by Team Rocket, who separated the group from their Poké Balls, with only Pikachu managing to escape. During a battle against his enemies, Pikachu avoided being recalled into his Poké Ball and hid in one of the vent shafts without them knowing. He then first tried to free Ash and his friends with Iron Tail, but when that failed and Team Rocket discovered him, Pikachu attempted to get the briefcase that held the group's Poké Balls. Meowth then chased after Pikachu, being the only one small enough to squeeze through the factory equipment and ventilation shafts that Pikachu escaped through, and continuously attempted to recall Pikachu into his Poké Ball. In the end, the Team Rocket trio attempted to escape with all the Poké Balls they stole, though in the process of doing so, they saw Ash and Pikachu were after them. Pikachu managed to stop their van with his Thunderbolt and Meowth challenged Pikachu to a one-on-one battle, which he accepted. Pikachu managed to defeat his foe despite the Scratch Cat Pokémon attempting to use Pikachu's Poké Ball on him. After Team Rocket got blasted off again, the group was invited by the grateful factory staff to a genuine tour of the factory.

In ''[[XY090|Tag Team Battle Inspiration!]]'', Pikachu was used in a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] against [[Serena's Eevee]] and Shauna's Ivysaur with Tierno's Blastoise as his partner. Pikachu started the battle by firing an Electro Ball, which was countered by Ivysaur's Energy Ball. Then Pikachu used Thunderbolt on Eevee, but Ivysaur protected Eevee by using Razor Leaf. While Blastoise was struggling with Eevee, Pikachu scored a hit on Ivysaur with Iron Tail. Ivysaur retaliated with Vine Whip, but Pikachu dodged it. The battle was later called off by Serena. Ash and Tierno then decided to battle against each other and Pikachu faced Blastoise. A collision between Thunderbolt and Hydro Pump took place, but the outcome of the battle remains unknown.

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

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

In ''[[XY105|Party Dancecapades!]]'', Pikachu partnered up with [[Miette]]'s {{p|Slurpuff}} in a dance party hosted by [[Monsieur Pierre]]. Later, Pikachu was used in a Tag Battle along with Serena's Eevee, where he faced James's Inkay and Miette's Slurpuff. Pikachu scored a direct hit on Slurpuff with Quick Attack, who then quickly recovered and fired off an Energy Ball. Pikachu, however, got saved by Eevee's Swift and after dodging a Psybeam from Inkay, he hit the Revolving Pokémon with Iron Tail. Pikachu and Eevee were then forced to jump in order to avoid another Psybeam, but got trapped after landing in Slurpuff's {{m|Cotton Spore}}. Unable to escape, Pikachu and Eevee were vulnerable to Inkay's Psybeam and got hit hard. Pikachu then stepped in and got hit by Inkay's Tackle meant for Eevee. Later, while Eevee struggled to get up, Pikachu continued to battle using Electro Ball and then blocked Slurpuff's Energy Ball with Thunderbolt. After Eevee's Evolution into Sylveon, Sylveon managed to defeat both Inkay and Slurpuff with {{m|Fairy Wind}}, giving Ash and Serena the win.

In ''[[XY106|A Meeting of Two Journeys!]]'', Pikachu was Ash's second Pokémon used in another three round battle against Sawyer, where he faced Sawyer's {{p|Honedge}}. Pikachu used Iron Tail to counter Honedge's Fury Cutter and then defeated it with a Thunderbolt.

In ''[[XY121|Seeing the Forest for the Trees!]]'', Pikachu was very worried as Ash had left into the [[Kalos Route 20|Winding Woods]] alone, and spent most of the episode trying to find Ash. Eventually, Team Rocket tried to catch Pikachu but when Pikachu tried to fend them off, they were actually underwhelmed by his power, implying that without Ash's friendship motivating him Pikachu was not able to perform as strong as usual. After Ash returned at the end of the episode, an overjoyed Pikachu was able to quickly send Team Rocket blasting off.

In [[XY122|the next episode]], he participated in Ash's rematch against [[Wulfric]] and faced his {{p|Bergmite}}. Bergmite was able to move at a high speed by skating on the icy battlefield, allowing it to dodge an incoming Electro Ball. After jumping in the air to avoid Bergmite, Pikachu was hit by its Icy Wind, numbing his legs, slowing him down. As a result, Bergmite was able to easily dodge his Quick Attack, but was then hit from behind by a Thunderbolt. Bergmite then used {{m|Sharpen}}, encasing it in a diamond-shaped block of ice. It then rushed forwards using Rapid Spin, hurling Pikachu into an ice stalactite. Ash then had Pikachu run around to get rid of the numbness in his legs. Now having regained his Speed, Pikachu was able to knock Bergmite over with Quick Attack and hit it with Iron Tail, breaking through the block of ice and defeating it. Next, Pikachu faced Wulfric's {{p|Avalugg}}. He immediately scored a hit with Thunderbolt, but Avalugg withstood the attack and retaliated with an extra powerful {{m|Avalanche}}. Avalugg then went after Pikachu using {{m|Gyro Ball}}, but Pikachu created a hole in the battlefield with Iron Tail, causing Avalugg to get caught in it, stopping its movements. Avalugg, however, was able to use Stone Edge while spinning and despite Pikachu's attempt to destroy the rocks with Thunderbolt, he was hit hard and got knocked out.

Pikachu was used in the semi-finals of the [[Lumiose Conference]] in ''[[XY127|Analysis Versus Passion!]]'', where Ash chose him as his third Pokémon in his battle against Sawyer. He was sent out against Sawyer's powerful {{p|Clawitzer}}. Pikachu used the forest battle field to his advantage by climbing into the trees and jump from branch to branch in order to confuse Clawitzer. Despite this, Clawitzer was still able to dodge his Thunderbolt and Quick Attack by launching itself in the air. After dodging an Ice Beam, Pikachu launched an Electro Ball which collided with Clawitzer's Dragon Pulse. Clawitzer then chased after him with {{m|Aqua Jet}}, but Pikachu was able lose it in the forest, allowing him to attack with a surprise Iron Tail. Clawitzer, however, reacted in time and was able to grab Pikachu's tail with its pincer and prepared to launch a {{m|Water Pulse}}. Ash then had Pikachu use Electro Ball to break free from Clawitzer's grip and finish the Howitzer Pokémon off with Thunderbolt. Pikachu then faced Sawyer's next Pokémon, his {{p|Aegislash}}. Pikachu tried to use the forest again, but Aegislash prevented him from doing so by chopping down the trees using {{m|Sacred Sword}}. [[XY128|Continuing their battle]], Pikachu attacked with Iron Tail, but Aegislash protected itself from the attack with {{m|King's Shield}}, which also lowered Pikachu's Attack. He was then unable to keep up with Aegislash's fast moves and was hit twice by powerful Sacred Sword attacks. Pikachu then tried attacking with Thunderbolt, but Aegislash once again used King's Shield to protect itself. Ash then noticed that Aegislash had to attach itself to its shield in order to use King's Shield. Using this knowledge, he had Pikachu use Iron Tail on the ground, which caused the chopped down logs to fly up in the air. Pikachu then used its great speed to jump on the logs, confusing Aegislash and avoiding its attacks. As Aegislash tried going for King's Shield again, Pikachu knocked one of the wooden chunks between Aegislash's shield, making it unable to defend itself properly. With his opponent left vulnerable, Pikachu used Thunderbolt to defeat Aegislash. As Sawyer had lost three of his Pokémon the battlefield was changed and Ash decided to recall Pikachu. He was later used again to face [[Sawyer's Sceptile]]. Pikachu started off with a Quick Attack, but Sceptile countered with Leaf Storm, throwing him in the air. He, however, was able to break through the leaves and strike Sceptile with Thunderbolt. After a clash between Iron Tail and {{m|Leaf Blade}}, Pikachu was unable to dodge Sceptile's {{m|Frenzy Plant}} and was knocked out.

In ''[[XY130|Finals Not for the Faint-Hearted!]]'', Pikachu was used as Ash's first Pokémon in the finals of the Conference against [[Alain]]. He went up against Alain's {{p|Tyranitar}}, who summoned a {{weather|sandstorm}} upon entering the battlefield due to its {{a|Sand Stream}} Ability which deteriorated Pikachu's sight. Despite this, Pikachu was able to avoid a Dark Pulse. Ash then had Pikachu slam its tail into the field's water stream with Iron Tail to splash the water in the air which cancelled out the sandstorm as well as wetted Tyranitar. This allowed Pikachu to strike Tyranitar with Thunderbolt, dealing major damage due to Tyranitar's wet body. Pikachu then went for Electro Ball, but Tyranitar blocked the attack with Stone Edge and then proceeded to slam the stone pillars with its tail to send multiple stone shards flying at Pikachu. Pikachu, however, deflected all of the shards with Iron Tail and then used the attack once again to counter Tyranitar's Crunch. Tyranitar, however, threw Pikachu in the air, but he was able to launch an Electro Ball in mid-air which defeated Tyranitar. Pikachu was then recalled. He was later used again to face Alain's Metagross. Pikachu started off with Thunderbolt, but Metagross used Agility to dodge the attack and corner Pikachu. Due to this, Pikachu was hit hard by powerful Metal Claw, {{m|Rock Slide}} and Meteor Mash attacks. As Metagross charged another Meteor Mash to finish him off, Pikachu was able to obstruct it with Electro Ball, allowing him to jump on top Metagross. Now he was able to continuously use Thunderbolt, dealing serious damage to the Iron Leg Pokémon. Metagross was eventually able to shake Pikachu off, throwing him in the air, but Pikachu headed downwards and dealt a decisive hit with Iron Tail, knocking Metagross out. Pikachu then faced Alain's strongest Pokémon, {{TP|Alain|Charizard}}. Pikachu managed to hit Charizard with a speedy Quick Attack, followed up by a super effective Thunderbolt. The battle continued in ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', where Pikachu once again hit Charizard with Thunderbolt. Afterwards Ash ordered him to use Quick Attack, but he was too exhausted to use the attack and ended up getting hit by Charizard's Flamethrower. When Charizard repeated its attack, Pikachu used Iron Tail on the ground to create a shield of dirt to block it. He then used Iron Tail again to intercept Charizard's Dragon Claw, but was overpowered and got knocked out.

In ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'', he and Ash went with Alain to go look for [[Mairin]], but once they found her they were obstructed by the giant roots. They were then ambushed by [[Celosia]] before her {{p|Drapion}}'s {{m|Confuse Ray}} knocked Ash unconscious. Pikachu attempted to protect his Trainer but eventually fell to the Confuse Ray's effects as well and passed out. Pikachu, along with Ash and his other Pokémon, was then taken captive by [[Lysandre]] on the top of Prism Tower. He could only watch in horror while Ash and Greninja were hit by [[Team Flare]]'s miniature version of the Mega Evolution energy weapon, until Ash and Greninja freed themselves using [[Bond Phenomenon]], in [[XY133|the following episode]]. Alain's Charizard broke him and the other Pokémon free with Dragon Claw, leaving everyone to battle [[Lysandre's Pyroar]] and Shiny Mega Gyarados together. During the battle, Pikachu and Goodra combined their Thunderbolt and Dragon Pulse to defend against {{p|Pyroar}} and Gyarados's {{m|Incinerate}}. After {{AP|Hawlucha}} was able to hit Pyroar with a super-effective {{m|Karate Chop}}, Pikachu manages to defeat the Royal Pokémon with Thunderbolt. [[XY134|Continuing the battle]], Pikachu and Noivern fired off their Thunderbolt and {{m|Boomburst}} which were countered by Gyarados's Hyper Beam. Pikachu was then targeted by a Dragon Tail, but Noivern pushed him aside, taking the attack in his place which knocked Noivern out. In the end, Pikachu, Greninja and Charizard were the only ones left facing Lysandre's Gyarados, although now aided by [[Malva]]'s Mega {{p|Houndoom}}. The battle finally concluded in ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'', where Pikachu hit Gyarados with Quick Attack after avoiding its Hyper Beam and then finished it off with a Thunderbolt.

Pikachu later helped Serena's Braixen, [[Steven's Metagross]] and Professor Sycamore's Garchomp fight against the [[Giant Rock]]. He, along with the other Pokémon, was eventually subdued by the creature's roots, but was freed by a combined attack from the Pokémon of all the Gym Leaders of Kalos and Diantha. After strategizing, in ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', everyone combined their powers to fend off the Giant Rock's roots, allowing Ash and Alain to reach its center and save [[Chespie]], bringing the creature down. After the ressurection of the Giant Rock, who was now controlled by Lysandre, Pikachu, Greninja and Alain's Charizard managed to destroy Lysandre's control device, allowing Squishy and [[Z2]] to destroy the Giant Rock. In [[XY137|the next episode]], Pikachu and the rest of Ash's Pokémon received medals from Professor Sycamore for their heroic efforts against Team Flare.

In ''[[XY138|The First Day of the Rest of Your Life!]]'', Ash used Pikachu in a battle against Serena and her Braixen. At first, Pikachu had the upper hand as he was able to hit Braixen with a speedy Quick Attack and break through her defenses with Iron Tail before hitting her with a second one. After dodging a Flamethrower, he clashed with Braixen's Scratch using his Iron Tail, knocking both Pokémon back. Braixen was then able to use Fire Blast, successfully hitting Pikachu. The battle was then called off by Ash.

In ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]'', Pikachu had to say goodbye to Serena, Clemont, Bonnie, and their Pokémon, since he and Ash would soon return to Kanto. While everyone said their goodbyes, {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} ran off since he didn't want the group to split apart. Using his electricity, Pikachu and the group were able to find Dedenne and calm it down. After Serena had departed, Pikachu participated in one final battle between Ash and Clemont, in which he faced Clemont's Bunnelby, just like in their first batttle. During the battle, both Pokémon's moves proved to be equal in power, but the end result of the battle was left unknown. Ash and Pikachu then separated from Clemont and Bonnie, and finally arrived in Pallet Town.

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

In [[SM002|the next episode]], Ash's classmates had a surprise welcome party for him, where he and Pikachu participated in several challenges. During their lunch break, Tapu Koko appeared again and stole Ash's hat, prompting Ash and his classmates to follow it. Arriving in a forest, Tapu Koko challenged Ash to a Pokémon battle. Pikachu was overwhelmed by Tapu Koko's fast moves and despite Electric Terrain being created by Tapu Koko's Ability {{a|Electric Surge}}, Pikachu's Thunderbolt didn't faze it. Tapu Koko then tapped Ash's Z-Ring, activating it and allowing Pikachu to perform {{m|Gigavolt Havoc}}, which destroyed a large part of the area but also caused Ash's Electrium Z to shatter. Afterwards, Tapu Koko flew off again.

In [[SM009]], Pikachu was used in Ash's first [[island challenge]] trial in [[Verdant Cavern]]. Alongside {{AP|Rowlet}}, he first fought a Yungoos and {{p|Gumshoos}}. The two {{type|Normal}}s showed to be tough opponents, as they were able to use {{m|Sand Attack}} to obstruct Pikachu and Rowlet's sight and movements before hitting them with their attacks. Ash then came up a similar tactic using Rowlet's {{m|Leafage}}, allowing Pikachu to knock Gumshoos out with Iron Tail, while Rowlet defeated Yungoos. Afterwards, Pikachu and Rowlet had to face a {{pkmn2|Totem}} Gumshoos. This Gumshoos proved to be extremely powerful, being able to endure Pikachu's Thunderbolt and knock him to the ground, after which it defeated Rowlet. After his Electro Ball got redirected by Sand Attack, Pikachu was hit hard once again. Pikachu then used Gumshoos's Sand Attack against it by hiding in the sand while using Quick Attack, allowing him confuse and repeatedly attack Gumshoos before finishing it off with a Thunderbolt. This win earned Ash a {{DL|Z-Crystal|Normalium Z}}.

Pikachu was used as Ash's final Pokémon in his battle against [[Hala]] during the Melemele Island grand trial in [[SM010]]. He faced Hala's {{p|Hariyama}}, who was able to block his attacks using its big hands and hit him afterwards. While repeatedly getting hit by Hariyama's {{m|Arm Thrust}}, Pikachu eventually managed to slip past Hariyama and strike it with Thunderbolt. Hariyama, however, was not fazed by this attack and proceeded to use {{m|Belly Drum}}, maximizing its Attack but also halving its health. Pikachu then used Quick Attack in an attempt to dodge Hariyama's Z-Move {{m|All-Out Pummeling}}, but was ultimately hit by the attack. After getting up, Pikachu circled around Hariyama using Quick Attack and managed to knock it off its feet using Iron Tail. Ash used this opportunity to have Pikachu perform {{m|Breakneck Blitz}}, which sent Hariyama flying and knocked it out. Having cleared the Melemele Island grand trial, Ash was rewarded a new Electrium Z.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Pikachu Bad Mood.png|thumb|250px|Pikachu in a bad mood]]
After Ash gained Pikachu's loyalty in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', Pikachu became extremely loyal to Ash and has maintained this loyalty, and while he is not always immediately trusting of strangers, he is generally friendly to humans and Pokémon alike. He acted as a guardian and big brother to [[Misty's Togepi]], and has been seen mediating and even breaking up fights among other Pokémon, such as in ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]''. In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', Pikachu, {{MTR}}, and Meowth's clone were the only Pokémon not to participate in the giant battle; Pikachu stood motionless as his [[Pikachutwo|clone]] repeatedly slapped his face. Contrary to his distrusting nature, Pikachu took a liking to Misty very early in the series, and he has retained this liking of Misty throughout the series, such as when he was very happy to see her in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]''.
[[File:Pikachu loves ketchup.png|200px|thumb|left|Pikachu and his love of ketchup]]
It was revealed that Pikachu also love drinking orange juice, most likely of its sourness in ''[[BW116|The Fires Of A Red-Hot Reunion]]''.
{{bulbanews|Personality & Development: Ash's Pikachu}}

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

As shown in a handful of episodes, the first being ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'', Pikachu has a special fondness for ketchup, but he will eat and enjoy almost any other human or Pokémon food. A running joke in the anime also seems to be Pikachu using Thunderbolt at the beginning of each series to destroy a female companion's bike or shock the companion herself. This has happened to {{an|Misty}}, {{an|May}}, {{an|Dawn}}, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Bonnie}}.

Pikachu, like his Trainer, is always happy to battle. He often tries his very best, but when he loses, he doesn't complain or feel bad about himself, especially when Ash reassures him. Ash and Pikachu are almost identical personality-wise, and thus are the perfect match for one another. Most others agree, with the exception of [[Burgundy]], who in ''[[BW019|A Connoisseur's Revenge!]]'' said that Ash had a terrible relationship with all of his Pokémon, though this is more due to her inexperience in determining such relationships.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

==In the games==
{{main|Red's Pikachu (game)}}
{{bulbanews/2|Satoshi's Pikachu to be distributed via Wi-Fi|Toys 'R' Us to distribute Ash's Pikachu}}
In the main series, {{ga|Red's Pikachu}} is noticeably based on Ash's Pikachu: not only does {{ga|Red}} receive it from Professor Oak after his rival, Oak's grandson, takes the last starter Pokémon in {{game|Yellow}}, but it [[walking Pokémon|follows Red around]] rather than being kept in a Poké Ball. In [[Generation II]] and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Pikachu is the highest-leveled member of Red's team when he is encountered at Mt. Silver, and the highest leveled Pokémon owned by a Trainer in the entire series excluding battle arenas. His moves, notably in HeartGold and SoulSilver, are the four moves most used by Ash's Pikachu at the time of the games' release. Pikachu was one of {{Ash}}'s three Pokémon in {{g|Puzzle League}}. The Pikachu in the Super Smash Bros. series may be based on Ash's Pikachu.

==Trivia==
[[File:Surfing Pikachu BW087.png|thumb|200px|Pikachu {{DL|Pikachu variants|Surfing Pikachu|surfing}}]]
[[File:Pikachu as female Pikachu.png|thumb|200px|Pikachu disguised as a female]]
* Pikachu is {{Ash}}'s only {{type|Electric}} Pokémon and was the only Electric-type owned by a main character in the anime until the capture of {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} by {{an|Dawn}}.
* For [[DP013]], [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia]] is about Ash's Pikachu. He writes this Pokémon senryū about him: パートナー　サトシとピカチュウ　いいかんじ ''Partners Satoshi and Pikachu: a pleasant feeling''.
* Pikachu was the first of Ash's Pokémon to habitually disobey him. Other Pokémon that would do so, and are better remembered for their disobedience than Pikachu, are {{AP|Primeape}} and {{AP|Charizard}}.
* Pikachu is the second Pokémon in the entire {{pkmn|anime}} series to have managed to defeat a [[Legendary Pokémon]], which he did by defeating {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s {{DL|Brandon's legendary titans|Regice}} in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]''.
** Pikachu is also the only Pokémon in the entire series that has been able to defeat two [[Legendary Pokémon]], being able to take out Brandon's {{p|Regice}} in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]'' and {{si|Tobias}}'s {{p|Latios}} in ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'', although in the latter case, it was a draw, as Pikachu knocked himself out in the process.
* In ''[[DP142|Where No Togepi Has Gone Before!]]'' it was officially confirmed that Pikachu is [[gender|male]], as a female {{p|Togepi}}'s {{m|Attract}} affected him. His physical appearance could not be used as proof, since [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]] were not implemented until after he had debuted in the anime.
** Pikachu's [[gender]] had already been assumed male in the dub, where male pronouns such as "he" were used to refer to Pikachu. To a lesser extent, his gender was also previously implied in the Japanese versions, specifically in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'' (where he used masculine pronouns), ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'' (Pikachu was shown when the narrator said that males had to carry packages) and in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'', where Brock referred to Ash and Pikachu as being "those guys" when touched by their loyalty.
** The first time Pikachu's gender difference was pointed out was in ''[[BW098|Beauties Battling for Pride and Prestige!]]'', where Pikachu was disguised as a female by sticking a heart-shaped piece of paper on his tail.
* Pikachu is the only Pokémon of Ash's to be used in every Gym battle in [[Johto|a region]].
* In {{pmin|Latin America}}, {{wp|Cartoon Network}} has a "Biografía Toon" (''Toon Biography'') segment, which consists of biographies and histories of cartoon characters. This segment has done a two-part feature on Ash's Pikachu. According to the segment, Pikachu is the result of an experiment conducted by {{an|Professor Oak}} and allegedly destroyed the lab where he was created in a momentary loss of control.
* ''[[DP170|An Elite Coverup!]]'' has been the only time when Ash does not use Pikachu against an [[Elite Four]] member.
* Pikachu is the first evolved Pokémon Ash obtained, although at the time Ash obtained Pikachu, he did not yet have a {{p|Pichu|pre-evolved form}}.
* Pikachu is Ash's only Pokémon capable of evolving by use of an evolutionary stone, not counting {{AP|Snorunt}} who could not evolve through use of an evolution stone at the time of its capture and normal evolution.
* Pikachu is the first Pokémon in the anime to defeat a Mega Evolved Pokémon without Mega Evolving, defeating [[Korrina]]'s [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} in ''[[XY044|Showdown at the Shalour Gym!]]''.
* As Pikachu hates being in his [[Poké Ball]], it is rarely ever seen, with a known total of only five confirmed appearances throughout the whole series (flashbacks not included). These being in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', ''[[AG024|A Corphish Out of Water!]]'', ''[[XY020|Breaking Titles at the Chateau!]]'', and ''[[XY079|A Frenzied Factory Fiasco!]]''.

===Pikachu's imitations===
Pikachu seems to have a talent for mimicking Pokémon, as seen in multiple episodes of the anime. He will occasionally use pantomime to specify what he is talking about. He can contort his face and his ears to imitate Ash, his {{AP|Turtwig}}, or {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}, among others.

===Pikachu's language===
Some of [[Pokémon language|Pikachu's speech]] is consistent enough that it seems that some phrases actually mean something. (In ''[[DP115|Stealing The Conversation!]]'', {{TRT}} refers to this language as "PikaSpeak," but this most likely isn't official.) For instance, Pikachu always uses "Pikapi" when referring to Ash (notice that it sounds somewhat similar to "Satoshi"). Other speech includes:
* Pi-Kachu: ''[[Dawn's Piplup|Pochama]]'' (Piplup)
* Pikachu-Pi: ''{{an|Misty|Kasumi}}'' (Misty)
* Pika-Chu: ''{{an|Brock|Takeshi}}'' (Brock), ''[[Iris's Axew|Kibago]]'' (Axew)
* Pikaka: ''{{an|Dawn|Hikari}}'' (Dawn)
* PiPiPi: ''{{TP|Misty|Togepy|Togepi}}'' (Togepi)
* PikakaPika: ''[[Ash's Bulbasaur|Fushigidane]]'' (Bulbasaur)
* PikaPika: ''[[Ash's Squirtle|Zenigame]]'' (Squirtle), ''[[Ash's Staraptor|Mukuhawk]]'' (Staraptor), ''[[Ash's Infernape|Goukazaru]]'' (Infernape) '' [[Ash's Palpitoad|Gamagaru]]'' (Palpitoad) or ''[[BW129|Marilli]]'' (Azumarill)
* PiPi-kachu: ''[[Team Rocket trio|Rocket-dan]]'' (Team Rocket)
* Pi-Pikachu: ''[[Gotta catch 'em all!|Get da ze!]]'' (He says this after Ash wins a Badge, catches a new Pokémon or anything similar.)
** Pikachu may not be the only one to use this phrase, as other Pokémon do this as well. For example, when Iris caught Emolga, Axew said Ax-Axew (Ki-Kibago in the Japanese). This also happened when Iris caught {{TP|Iris|Gible}} in ''[[SS028]]''.
* Pika-Pikachu: When referring to or introducing himself.
* Chaa: Anything he says happily or excitedly, or when yawning.
* Pika!: "Matte!", or saying "Wait!"
* Pi-kaPika: "Sayōnara," or saying "Good-bye."

Talk:List of recurring wild Pokémon in the animated series

2017-01-14T13:59:11Z

PkmnTrainerV: /* Litten */ new section

Do you think Wynaut, Spoink and Hippopotas should have their own articles? --[[User:Taromon777|'''''Taromon777''''']] '' 15:50, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
: They did, and they were all merged onto this page per the new anime Pokémon policy. --[[User:Rockersk08|rock]][[User talk:Rockersk08|ersk]][[Special:Contributions/Rockersk08|08]] 16:35, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

== Gible ==

Now that Gible is following Ash, shouldn't it be added? Or should we wait a few episodes? --[[User:Kimori-Hinoarashi|Kimori-Hinoarashi]] 21:45, 21 December 2009 (UTC) [[User:Kimori-Hinoarashi|User talk:Kimori-Hinoarashi]]
:Probably wait to see if someone catches it in Thursday's episode...--[[User:PsychicRider|'''Psy''']][[User talk:PsychicRider|'''ライダー''']]''[[Special:Contributions/PsychicRider|'''☮''']]'' 21:50, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
::And he caught it. -- [[User:Kimori-Hinoarashi|Kimori-]][[User talk:Kimori-Hinoarashi|Hinoarashi]]
:::It's not a recurring wild Pokémon though... Well, it is, but so is [[Dawn's Ambipom|Aipom]], and it's not listed here. [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 18:56, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
::::The article says recurring '''wild''' Pokémon. The purpose of this is to list Pokémon like Jigglypuff, Snubbull, Spoink, and Hippopotas. Aipom and Gible are owned by main characters, and I don't see a need for them on the list. Maybe a trivia mention about how they used to be recurring wild Pokémon before being captured... --[[User:ElectAbuzzzz|'''electAbuzz''']][[User talk:ElectAbuzzzz|'''z''']][[Special:Contributions/ElectAbuzzzz|'''z''']] 19:51, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
:::::Well then, in that case, then does [[Madame Muchmoney's Granbull]] belong here and on the template? As far as I'm concerned, it's not a wild Pokémon. I won't take it off, but if I'm right, then somebody please do that. Also, referring to the first post, there's a page on it. So if I'm wrong, the whole page should be merged to this one. --'''[[User:Trickyb|Tricky]]'''[[User Talk:Trickyb|b]] 23:56, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

==Loudred==
Say, since in the Hoenn saga there was a Loudred which appeared in a few episodes where in it rampaged around and all, shouldn't it also be added here? Or was it caught? --[[User:Shinytwo|Shinytwo]] 13:17, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
:Added, but its hidden since I havent done a summary for it, Ive not seen any of the episodes it was in. [[User:Vuvuzela2010|'''Vuvuzela2010''']][[Latios (Pokémon)| Δ ]] 14:37, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

== Snubbull/Granbull ==

Why is Snubbull/Granbull here? It was an OWNED Pokémon owned by Madame Muchmoney. [[User:Rai Marshall|Rai Marshall]] 23:17, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
:Well, she was technically running around as a wild Pokémon for a while before returning to her owner. —♥ [[User:Jello|Jel]][[User Talk:Jello|lo]] 23:21, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
::Except it wasn't like she was released back in the wild, she was still an owned Pokémon who just chose to follow someone else for that time being. She wasn't wild. [[User:Rai Marshall|Rai Marshall]] 23:46, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

==Game version of pokemon is incorrect==

If Hippopotas is male, why is it shown as a female Hippopotas (game sprite)...? [[User:Chomi|Chomi]] 14:57, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

== Ash's Larvitar ==

Surely if the Hippopotas gets an article then Ash's Larvitar should have a section, their roles are quite similar in that they are both carried by Ash to be returned to their family and constantly use a certain move (Larvitar's being Harden and Hippopotas' being Yawn), the only differences are that Larvitar debuted as an egg and was used in battle, so shouldn't it have some part in this page (given that Ash didn't truly capture Larvitar)? [[User:Azure42|Azure42]] 15:15, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

== Loudred on Dewoford Island ==

Some raised this topic before but no one replied, an angry Laudred appeared many times throught out the Dewofard saga, however is right to assume it was the same one? [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokemon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 00:36, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

:I think it's the same one. The situations it got into numerous times (being surprised/stepped on/vice gripped while sleeping) all point in that direction. You might as well say the wynaut in this article is 3 or 4 completely different Pokémon, there is no more evidence to support it being the same one than the loudred. [[User:WellyDawn|WellyDawn]] 00:47, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

== Sandile/Waruvile ==

It's notable for it's own page now? [[User:J-J-M|'''J''']]'''-'''[[User talk:J-J-M|'''J''']]'''-'''[[Special:Contributions/J-J-M|'''M''']] 15:32, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

===Sunglasses===
Should it be noted that its sunglasses seem to have grown with evelution?Lucariade 20:02, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

===Capture===
Should we put it in the recurring wild Pokemon caught by Ash when the episode airs? [[User:Chomper4|Chomper4]] 12:43, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

== Palpitoad? ==

Palpitoad DID appear in BW034, and was caught in the [[BW032|next episode]]. Should we add [[Ash's Palpitoad]] to the list of ''Recurring wild Pokémon that have been caught?'' [[User:EvilKirikizan|EvilKirikizan]] 00:01, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
:Completely different location. Completely different Palpitoad. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 00:08, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

==Lake guardians and Loundred==

The lake gaurdians in the Dp searies and the Loundred on Dewoford island, shouldn't they be here ? [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokémon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 09:19, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

== Pikachu Short Marill ==

Given that it appeared in no less than four shorts, should the Marill that kept using Sing in the Pikachu Shorts be included on this page? [[User:Watchermark|Watchermark]] 15:46, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
:I've added it after Spoink, but I've kept it hidded because I've not written a summary, since I've not seen these shorts. [[User:Vuvuzela2010|'''Vuvuzela2010''']][[Latios (Pokémon)| Δ ]] 12:44, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

== Slowking ==

Can I propose that Slowking be removed from this page? It was a main character in the movie and had one tiny extra appearance. I wouldn't call that recurring, so I'd suggest it should get its own page like character-of-the-day Pokémon [[Nero]], [[Orville]] or other movie Pokémon main characters: [[Lucario (M08)]], [[Entei (M03)]], [[Zoroark (M13)]] or [[Mewtwo (anime)]]. Its a major character with a special backstory. It never appears in any main series. '''[[User:Toon Ganondorf|Toon Ganondorf ]] [[User Talk:Toon Ganondorf|(t]] [[Special:Contributions/Toon Ganondorf|c)]]''' 01:53, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

::It was more significant than half the human characters who appeared in the second movie. I don't think classing it as "recurring" is appropriate, because its not reappearing, it was a central character and then had one extra episode which had backstory to its life. Its not "occuring again, periodically, or repeatedly", which the definition of Recurring is. If there was another page to move it to I'd be happy with that, but it can't stay here. It doesn't make sense. '''[[User:Toon Ganondorf|Toon Ganondorf ]] [[User Talk:Toon Ganondorf|(t]] [[Special:Contributions/Toon Ganondorf|c)]]''' 01:50, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

:::Can I get some other opinions? I just don't think its right that [[Carol]] gets an article for her tiny role whilst Slowking, the main Pokémon besides the birds themselves, gets shoved into a combined article purely because its a Pokémon. '''[[User:Toon Ganondorf|Toon Ganondorf ]] [[User Talk:Toon Ganondorf|(t]] [[Special:Contributions/Toon Ganondorf|c)]]''' 13:19, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

::::Personally, I have to support this motion. Slowking isn't a reoccuring character in the anime like the rest of the Pokémon mentioned on this page. It appeared in the movie, in the Slowking's Day short and we haven't seen it since. Plus, as Toon Ganondorf said, it did play a pretty important role in the film... far more than Melody's sister Carol did. [[User:Lauraac2110|Lauraac2110]] 12:19, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
:::::I support the move, Slowking is just as notable as the Unown in the third movie [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokémon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 21:05, 2 February 2012
::::::I also support the move. I think of Slowking as a character of the day and they all get pages. He has a speaking role too. Human characters get pages if they appear multiple times in an episode/movie and speak usually so why shouldn't it be the same for Slowking? ☆[[User:Solar Dragon|The]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|Solar]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Dragon]]☆ 08:35, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
:::::::Did we ever come to a decision on this issue? If not, can we? Just curious, as I was cruising the Wanted Pages, and stumbled upon this. Just to throw my two cents in, I would support the move. --[[User:Jediknightdtv|ジェダイの騎士]][[User talk:Jediknightdtv|デジタルテレビ]] 00:57, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

::Well, then, here's a little extra info on Slowking: he, idiom-wise, broke the fourth wall. I've heard that the "breaking of the fourth wall" is a very rare event in the anime. [[User:Pressthebutton|Pressthebutton]] 14:55, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

== Sunglasses Krokorok and Ash ==

When [[BW065]] airs, should we add Sunglasses Krokorok to recurring wild Pokemon that have been caught knwoing that Ash will catch it? [[User:Chomper4|Chomper4]] 16:50, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
:Only after it airs.--[[User:MisterE13|Mister]][[User talk:MisterE13|'''E''']][[Special:Contributions/MisterE13|13]] 16:56, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

== Florges ==

A Blue Flower {{p|Florges}} appeared in [[XY069]] and is set to appear in [[XY070]]. Should we put it on the recurring Pokémon page once XY070 airs? [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 21:51, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
:I believe this page is mainly for Pokemon that reappear after episode gaps, but I guess it would depend on the circumstances, in any case, best to wait till the episode airs. --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] ([[User talk:Spriteit|talk]]) 14:39, 26 April 2015 (UTC)
::Thanks. Wanted to be sure before XY070 aired. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 22:29, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

== This page is getting ridiculous ==

We really need some guild lines on what a 'recurring' pokemon is. Groudon, Kyogre, Zekrom, Reshiram and Florges only appeared in two or three parters. In other words, while Groudon appeared in two episodes, it only appeared in one story, one forty minuet episode if you like. We don't put characters like Lewis or Ridley from the BW two partners down as tempory companions because they are no more re-occurring than A.J. or Otashi because they only 'occurred' once.

::It depends on how "recurring" is taken, but I disagree with removing the sections right away because there are now links on anime episode articles linking to sections that don't exist on this page anymore, so I feel like there needs to be an actual decision based on this before we leave those sections off.

== Deoxys's Protect ==

Where did Deoxys from the [[AG171|Deoxys' Crisis!]] [[AG172|two-parter]] use {{m|Protect}}? I only remember seeing it using {{m|Safeguard}} instead of Protect. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 21:30, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

== Should we add [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]], [[Ash's Caterpie]] and [[Aura Sphere Riolu]]. ==

Meowth does not have a Pokeball and was even almost caught by Iris.

Ash's Caterpie was at the end of episode 2 but not caught till episode 3.

and the Aura Sphere Riolu was in 2 episodes.- [[User:Super10ZX|Super10ZX]] 11:23 (UTC)
:Meowth is covered by being a part of Team Rocket, even though it has been shown Meowth is technically wild. He is associated with Team Rocket so much that it doesn't have the same meaning as a truly wild Pokémon.
:Ash's Caterpie was only in 2 episodes wild (counting the episode it was captured), and if I recall correctly there's usually a minimum of three episodes preferred for a Pokémon to be considered recurring (or at least not have both episodes be back-to-back continuations of each other).
:Aura Sphere Rioulu falls into the same category as Ash's Caterpie: only 2 episodes, both the same plot arc, aired back-to-back. [[User:ChE clarinetist|ChE clarinetist]] ([[User talk:ChE clarinetist|talk]]) 12:28, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

Ok I understand stand all your reasons. But if Meowth is saved by being a member of Team Rocket, how come Team Rockets Delibird is listed on this page. - [[User:Super10ZX|Super10ZX]] 19:29 (UTC)

::I agree with your reasoning for Riolu and Caterpie, but more specifically they shouldnt be adde because they do not 're-occur' if a Pokemon appears in four consecutive episodes, it is no more a recurring Pokemon than Montgomery who appered once over the span of four episodes. However, though I've mentioned this before, Pokemon like Groudon, Kyogre and Zekrom are all still listed here despite not actually being recurring. If they are listed, Caterpie and Riolu just be listed for consistency's sake. And I might syggest changing the name of the page to 'Any Wild Pokemon in the anime that has appered in more than one episode' because a lot of the Pokemon on this page are not recurring.

== Why do people think the T___us and Landorus are the same in both episodes? ==

I watched both episodes (counting each 2-parter as one together), and they never mentioned the genies being the exact same ones as before. I removed it, but someone else undid it & told me to bring it here. [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 23:20, 19 June 2016 (UTC)

== Split ==

This page seems to be nothing but an excuse to avoid giving notable wild Pokémon their own articles. They have their own infoboxes, and some even have their own trivia sections. This article is basically just a collection of smaller, unrelated articles rather than a list. If the Pokémon is a notable enough character to get a section on this page, then I think it's likely notable enough for its own article; by being on this page, it means they served a significant role in the anime. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:24, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
:If we were to get rid of this page completely, it would mean double-checking the notability of the Pokémon on this list.

I definitely think that Florges, Z2, and Malamar need to be split, as they are all given more personality and characterization than many human characters who have their own articles. I'm also fine with Lugia and Wooper getting their own articles, though I find that less urgent than Florges, Z2, and Malamar. We may also want to consider splitting Wynaut, Spoink, and Hippopotas. Wynaut is a running gag similar to Jigglypuff with its own personality, while Spoink and Hippopotas both function as the main character in their respective episodes, and are easily more like characters of the day than [[Nero]] (besides the obvious fact that they appear more than once; my point is, their character is more fleshed out). The same could be said for several other Pokemon without pages IMO, such as Snover from The Lonely Snover.

==Normal Starters==
Should Pikachu be considered a 'normal' starter? I mean, it isn't part of the Fire/Water/Grass triangle, and it can also be captured in the wild in many of the other games, something that no other starters have right now. It's also the starter only in one game (although, so have Colosseum Starters, XD Starter, and Ranger Starter). --[[User:PikamasterADV|PikamasterADV]] 12:01, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
:Well, why not? The fact it is not part of the triangle does not disqualify him as a starter Pokémon. If we had a Dark/Fighting/Psych triangle, wouldn't still they be starters? Also, the Fire/Grass/Water triangle is already broken is some cases, like the 4th generation starters having second types after they evolve. In any case, he is undoubtedly a starter in the ranks of Squirtle and Charmander. He is given out by a professor (and our very original professor Oak in his case), is given in one of the "main" games of the series, and is a basic Pokémon. --[[User:Andrelvis|Andrelvis]] 15:53, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
::Well, don't forget that also, pretty much every starter gets a second type through evolution. Only ones who don't are Squirtle, Chikorita, Cyndaquil, Totodile, and Treecko. Hell, Bulbasaur has two types in its basic form.
::And I think the division's more on the games that are defined as the main RPG series vs the side games. After all, Pichu makes Pikachu a stage 1 now, in all technicalities.

== To Remove from Trivia ==
"Usually upon evolution, the starter Pokémon gain another type. However, Blastoise, the three Johto starters' final forms (Meganium, Typhlosion, and Feraligatr), and Sceptile do not have a second type." This quote is not very accurate. The trivia itself lists 5 out of the 12 final evolutions of the main series' starters that don't gain a new type (technically it should be 6 of 13 because of [[Pikachu]]; which while it can't evolve in Yellow still does in every other version). 5 out of 12 is about 42%; which means that "usually" is used to define an occurance rate barely over 50% and is like saying Pokemon split equally into both [[gender|genders]] are "usually" one over the other. Additionally, only 6 of the 13 (about 46%) main series staters actually gain a new type out of evolution, as [[Bulbasaur]] starts with the {{type|Poison}}. I'm not sure if complete removal of this trivia is called for, but it definitely needs to be reworded. --[[User:ZellMurasame|ZellMurasame]] 05:15, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Even though you can get the remaining two at the end of the game, let's not forget that Bayleef, Quilava, and Croconaw are somewhat "starter" Pokémon in Pokémon Colosseum, since you need to snag one of them at the beginning of the adventure. Maybe they're like Eevee's evolutionary stones or shards in that their availability isn't immediate... However, one of the things that make them non-traditional starters is that the game doesn't explicitly ask you "you want this Pokémon, or this one, or this one?". --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 03:07, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

==Gen IV type-trumping==
I just noticed something about the Sinnoh starters' final forms. Each of them gains a a type advantage over the starter it is weak to in some way:
*Torterra gains the Ground-type, which is super-effective against Infernape.
*Infernape gains the Fighting-type, which is super-effective against Empoleon's Steel-type.
*Empoleon gains the Steel-type, which gives it a resistance to Torterra's Grass-type (although it does give a weakness to Torterra's Ground-type (maybe for balance issues); however, being a Water-type, Empoleon can learn Ice-type attacks to deal super-effective damage against both of Torterra's types).
[[User:Diachronos|Diachronos]] 16:26, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
:However, the steel type also renders Empoleon without a resistance to either of Infernape's types, thus actually making it WEAK to Infernape (at least to it's fighting type, and the steel offbalances the water resistance to fire). [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 11:40, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
::Including Empoleon's ability to learn Ice moves, all the starters have moves which are super effective against the other two starters.

Is the statement "it caused many to hearken back to Pokémon Yellow, where the player starts with Pikachu, like Ash, and the rival starts with Eevee" the wrong way round because Pokemon Yellow was based on the anime and because Gary's true starter had not been revealed at the time, the makers made Eevee his starter, as the game required him to have a confirmed one?

I could have sworn I saw this discussed somewhere before, but for the life of me I can't find it now. Oh well.

Anyway, at some point in HGSS (not sure exactly when) the third starter Pokemon which wasn't chosen by the PC or the rival mysteriously vanishes from its place in Elm's lab. (The game text when the... whatever that machine is... is examined is something along the lines of, "Hey! The third Pokeball is gone! Was it given to someone?" though I can't be bothered to switch games in my DS to check for sure.) I figure that this is notable enough to go into the article, and I'd put it in there myself, but I quite honestly don't know if its disappearance is ever explained, and I figure that if it ''were'' explained that should go in the article too.

== Trivia ==

Since I want no part in the edit war, I'm going to explain the trivia piece here:

<code>
As of [[Generation IV]], every '''starter-type''' in the main series (with the exception of {{p|Pikachu}}) has have one Pokémon in its final-stage of evolution to have a double weakness; {{p|Charizard}} is doubly weak to {{type|Rock}}, {{p|Swampert}} is doubly weak to {{type|Grass}} and {{p|Torterra}} is doubly weak to {{type|Ice}}.</code>

It doesn't say by generation. It says by starter ''type''. That means Fire, Water, and Grass.
Charizard, Torterra, and Swampert are members of these respective types and have double weaknesses. The trivia, meaning-wise, is fine. (Unless one were to count Bulbasaur's Poison typing...)

So yeah, if you're going to remove it, remove it for a different reason plz and thanks.--[[User:Cold|Cold]] ([[User talk:Cold|talk]]) 23:33, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

== Should Mystery Dungeon initial Pokémon be considered starters? ==

I've looked through Mystery Dungeon: Blue's manual, Bulbapedia's pages on all three sets of games, and the official Explorers of Sky webpage and have seen no mention of the initial Pokémon from MD as "starters", just "Hero Pokémon" (for the player) and "Partner Pokémon" (for the partner). They seem to lack the basic criteria for being starters (the initial Pokémon owned by a ''trainer''), even more so than the Ranger's [[Partner Pokémon]] which were already deemed not to be starters. Now I'll admit I never even played through Blue fully (and never played the others), so there may be something in-game, but I think we should separate them into their own ''Hero and Partner Pokémon'' page or something, as they don't seem to belong here.

== Pokémon Yellow Evolution ==

The article says that the rival's {{p|Eevee}} evolves into {{p|Jolteon}}, {{p|Flareon}} or {{p|Vaporeon}} depending on the outcomes of battles between the player and the rival. Specifically, which battles are important, and how do the results affect the evolution? It seems like this would be a useful thing to add to the article. I believe that if the player loses the first battle in Pallet Town, the {{p|Eevee}} will evolve into a {{p|Vaporeon}}, but this should probably be double-checked.

== New Trivia (yeah, I know it's a little big already) ==

(First time, forgive me if I screw this up horribly)

Since Pikachu knows Thundershock, Yellow is the only main series game in which the player's starter pokemon begins play with a STAB move. Incidentally, the Rival's starter also has a STAB move, as Eevee knows tackle and is of the normal-type.

There's probably a better way of wording this. but I thought it was neat.

== Definition of starter Pokémon ==

I've always thought of starter Pokémon as meaning the sets of three Pokémon that are given by the professor, not merely a Trainer's first Pokémon. I don't mind including Pikachu and Eevee, ''that'' much (although I'm still uncertain about them), adding Marill and Ralts, and calling things like [[Growlie]] "starter Pokémon" just seems wrong to me. If people really want to list Trainer's first Pokémon, then I think that page should be at {{redlink|first Pokémon}}; however, IMO starter Pokémon should refer only to Bulbasaur, Charmander, Bulbasaur, Chikorita, Cyndaquil, Totodile, Treecko, Torchic, Mudkip, Turtwig, Chimchar, Piplup, Snivy, Tepig, Oshawott, and maybe Pikachu and Eevee if you really want. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:42, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

::I agree with Jo, even though the ones listed by SnorlaxMonster are treated completely different from the other "first Pokémon" from other media. Since this page is huge, maybe splitting into "Starter Pokémon (main series)", "Starter Pokémon (spin-off)", "Starter Pokémon (anime)" and "Starter Pokémon (Adventures)" could be taken into account but is not the best option. [[User:Duke R|'''|) u |( e''']] [[User talk:Duke R|'''®''']] 10:50, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
:::Splitting like that completely ignores the point. The idea is that the Pokémon I listed are a group of Pokémon, while this page just lists the first Pokémon of a bunch of Trainers. If we want to redefine starter Pokémon as "the first Pokémon a Trainer owns" rather than the traditional "the three Pokémon that Trainers can choose from to start their journey" and give the traditional grouping their own name, then while I wouldn't prefer it, it would be better than what we have now. What I'm saying is that we have a distinct group of Pokémon that the fandom have always called "starter Pokémon", and this page seems to have merged that group with everyone's first Pokémon. So regardless of what you want to call "starter Pokémon", the traditional starter Pokémon need a separate page from people's first Pokémon. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 06:14, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
::::For what it's worth, I would define the starter pokemon as the sets of three plus Pikachu and Eevee. We categorize pokemon beyond their obvious classification by their secondary characteristics. Legendary Pokemon, other than those explicitly called out as such, are typically unique pokemon within the games that may or may not have a defining role in the story- even beginning trainers have a pretty good idea what you're talking about when you say "legendary". Pseudo-Legendaries bear some explanation, but fall within obviously recognizable parameters- 600 base stats, typically a double weakness to something, general badassedness, etc. The "starters" of the main series of games are typically in line in terms of stats and evolutions without significant variation- It would not surprise me if next generation we had to call out Charizard and Typhlosion as the exceptions to the "Fire/Fighting Rule". Spinoff series games should at best get their own page and at worst be merely mentioned on their own page. "Games" that are effectively pokedexes shouldn't be listed at all outside the article affirming their existence, as there is no meaningful way to interact with them. Eevee and Pikachu get to be the exceptions because they ''are'' the exceptions- the only main series game not to play by their own rules. You might not even list Eevee, as it's not technically an option for the trainer- It's not a "starter" pokemon, it's a "rival" pokemon.[[User:TheHateHat|TheHateHat]] ([[User talk:TheHateHat|talk]]) 04:36, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
:::::I going to say that there needs to be a distinction between "starter" and "first". For example, in the TCG a "starter set" is a set intended for people just starting to learn the TCG. However, it does not have to be their first TCG set, and their first TCG set is not necessarily a "starter set". A "starter Pokémon" is a Pokémon given to Trainers when they begin their journey to get them started. Therefore, instances like Wally's Ralts are not starter Pokémon; it is his first Pokémon, and if people want that to have a page that's fine, but they shouldn't be here. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 15:33, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

== Eevee in Yellow ==

It seems strange to me that Eevee should be included as a starter Pokemon in Yellow on the bit at the bottom of pages about specific starter Pokemon. (Sorry don't know the correct technical term.) The player cannot start with Eevee. If the starter Pokemon of NPCs qualify for this definition of starter Pokemon then surely every known starter Pokemon for NPCs should be added to both of these sections in order to be logically consistent? If it is just because Blue is the rival of this game that his starter is notable why aren't the starters of Wally and Ethan/Lyra as NPCs? I understand their inclusion in the article but I don't understand how Blue's Eevee is any more notable than the starters of those two trainers, particularly not to the degree that it gets a mention at the bottom of the page when the others don't.

== Kanto Starters for X and Y ==

"Soon afterwards, Professor Sycamore will give the player a choice between one of the classic Kanto starter Pokémon, whom, upon reaching their final stages, will have access to Mega Evolved forms, given the prequisite Mega Stone."

This is more speculation than factual. We do not meet Professor Sycamore until Lumoise City. This was stated in the preview clips when he was released as well as stated on the main web site. Lumoise City is after the first Gym so the player has a good bit of play time before they ever meet Professor Sycamore in Lumoise. We also have not been given any information as to whether or not the Kanto Starters are Post Game hand outs like all other Non-Regional Starters are like in Pokemon Emerald and forward. Should probably wait for more information before saying we get two starters in the game since this has the makings of being post-game hand outs like they always end up. [[User:XanderO|XanderO]] ([[User talk:XanderO|talk]]) 14:08, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
:While I do believe we should wait till we have more information on this, I thought we had more reason to believe that the Kanto starters weren't post-game hand outs. First of all, I don't believe they revealed post-game starters before during pre-release. And second, I believe in the Pokémon Direct, the man asked Masuda if there was going to be anything different about this game. Masuda then answered by talking about Sycamore giving out one of the Kanto starters. If it was post-game, that wouldn't be different from previous games at all. They even showed that picture with the three Kalos starters and the three Kanto starters. I think that the implication is that we're supposed to have 2 starters early on this time around.

== Split ==

SnorlaxMonster suggested this {{DL|Talk:Starter Pokémon|Definition of starter Pokémon|in an above section}}, but nothing came of it, so I'm slapping on the split template so that hopefully, even if no consensus comes of discussion, it'll go to the staff on [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/f195/candidates-merging-moving-mainspacing-splitting-discussion-thread-114138/ the forum thread]. I propose that the traditional Grass/Fire/Water trios comprise an article, and all other Pokémon that Trainers in various media start with comprise another. I suggest ''Starter Pokémon'' and ''First Pokémon'', respectively, but any number of other names are also possible. The main thing is that the Grass/Fire/Water trios differ significantly from starting Pokémon in side games, the anime, the manga, etc. The two sets need to be treated separately.

Whether to include the Pikachu and Eevee from Yellow is a bone of contention that I'd prefer not to overshadow this, but since it's relevant, I will give my opinion on it. Under no circumstances should Eevee be included, because it's the rival's, not the players. (Same conditions as Marill and Ralts.) Pikachu's more of a gray area, but it doesn't fill the same role statistically or in availability in any other game, so I feel it also doesn't belong with the Grass/Fire/Water trios despite being a starting Pokémon for the player in the main series.[[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 06:05, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

I don't have a big problem with that sort of definition. As things stand, though, Poketopia's inclusion seems pretty dumb, to me. I like Colo and XD counting, because those actually have stories (like the main games) besides connecting with main games; but it doesn't seem that PBR has a story. It just seems like a glorified Pokemon Stadium. I'm not a fan of it "counting", period, whether for "starters" (of whatever definition) or "firsts" (I think).

:::I feel as though "starter Pokémon" should refer only to the generation Grass-Fire-Water trios. I can accept Pikachu and Eevee under some interpretations, but I really don't think they count. "Starter Pokémon" is an official term, the problem is that it's difficult to find it actually defined (but I don't believe I've ever seen it used to describe Pikachu or Eevee); perhaps if somewhere the "Kanto starter Pokémon" is used to refer to Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, that could count as excluding Pikachu and Eevee from being starters. Regardless, I think the generational elemental trios clearly share commonalities that Eevee and Pikachu do not. I don't even know if "first Pokémon" deserves a page, but I certainly think that info does not belong here. (Also, thanks for reviving my suggestion.

I don't agree with the rival's Pokémon being listed though, because they're never given to the player and thus technically not Starter Pokémon for us. It really depends how we're defining starter Pokémon, because if we're describing them as "First Pokémon, distributed or given without having to catch them, usually by a Professor" then Pikachu fits in that definition.

Okay so I have played through both x and y a few diferent times here and only ONCE has there been a male fennekin. My fist play through of Y I choose fennekin and she was female. Shaunas Chespin was also female. Further more I have started quite a few different play through in X due to always losing my nuzlocks and first go my forkie was female and shaunas fennekin was also female. second time through my froakie was male but still shauna fennekin was female. Ive also gotten 3 resets in a row female chespin.
I dont know about froakie and chespin but Im PRETTY POSITIVE fennekins line is 75% female. Ive only seen 1 male fennekin in a lets play on youtube as well out of about 5 lets plays Ive watched.
Im also fairly certain that frokie's line is 50/50 on gender and maybe chespins.
I dont belive anyone can go through the code as of yet but Id like some proof at its still 75% the starter is male. I believe the reason they did that in gen 2 was so starters were more rare if you didnt know about ditto but that trend has kinda gotten out dated with everyone knowing of ditto and such.
So yeah I believe the gender ratio should be unknown of the kalos starters until we can get official proof of it.
I will say I have not done any breeding of the starters yet but think Ill start filling up a box for each one and post my results.

: All of the starters have always had the same gender ratio, so not only is it probably safe to assume that the Kalos starters are the same but also people have the ability to see the coding of the games and as such we come up with the gender ratios for the Pokemon.

Also, almost all of the starters I have are male.--[[User:Ditto51|Ditto51/Tom]] ([[User_Talk:Ditto51|My Talk Page]]) 17:32, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

== Kalos secondary triangle ==

The Kalos starters have, in their final forms, two type triangles: Grass/Fire/Water and Fighting/Psychic/Dark. This is notable. Yet it [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Starter_Pok%C3%A9mon&curid=1162&diff=2134311&oldid=2134310 was removed].

But, you say: Dark is ''immune'' to Psychic rather than just being resistant. Well...so? Practically speaking, that is a trivial difference. If I put {{p|Braixen}} in against {{p|Chesnaught}}, Braixen has little to fear from Chesnaught's STAB moves whereas Chesnaught must fear any of Braixen's STAB moves. By the same token, if I put {{p|Greninja}} in against Braixen, Greninja has little to fear from Braixen's STAB moves whereas Braixen must fear any of Greninja's STAB moves. It's basically irrelevant that Greninja has ''even less'' to fear from Braixen than Braixen/Chesnaught do from Chesnaught/Greninja. The essential fact remains: by their typings (in their final forms), each of the starters has the advantage, ''both offensivley and defensively'', against another one of the starters in a triangular fashion.

It is irrelevant that Dark is immune to Psychic. The essential fact of "This Pokemon can do well against that one but not against the other one" is exactly the same. Both triangles are valid and this second one deserves noting. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 14:38, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

: I think the inital trivia note on it before it was changed is valid
::* The Kalos starter Pokémon's secondary types ({{t|Fighting}}, {{t|Psychic}}, and {{t|Dark}}) almost form another type-advantage triangle, being broken by the fact that the Dark type is immune to the Psychic type.
: Someone changed it which ultimately caused it to become confusing and end up being removed as it was fine for however long it was on there until it was removed (after rewording).--[[User:Ditto51|Ditto51/Tom]] ([[User_Talk:Ditto51|My Talk Page]]) 16:07, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

:::That I wouldn't mind since it's not stating that the Dark/Psychic/Fighting creates a triangle that is exactly like the Grass/Fire/Water cycle. In fact, it's why I decided to leave it there when it was added the first time before it was reworded.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:39, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
::::I don't see how the immunity breaks this though. It still forms a type triangle. Am I missing something? --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 08:31, 29 June 2014 (UTC)
:::::The triangle is where the types are super effective to one type and resists the other. I feel that this is evident by Game Freak's continual usage of Grass/Fire/Water for the past six generations. Dark does not resist Psychic, thus breaking the triangle.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 08:45, 29 June 2014 (UTC)

== Gender ==
Isn't the starter Pokémon always the same gender as the player? If it is, should'nt it be added?
[[User:Lokki]] [[User talk:Lokki|Talk]] 13:35, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

:No, it isn't always the same. [[User:RandomDSplayer|RandomDSplayer]] ([[User talk:RandomDSplayer|talk]]) 12:59, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

== Trivia Fact ==

Here is an interesting trivia fact about the Fire-type starters.

'''There has been a superstition that the Fire-type starters are based on the animals of the Chinese Zodiac. Some of the information is false, like Cyndaquil and Fennekin based on the rat and dog.'''

== Trivia Fact: May (Anime) ==

Trivia Fact: May (Anime)

'''The only Kanto starter that May did not catch or obtain is Charmander.''' This is true because she already has Blaziken, a Fire starter native to Hoenn.

[[User:Chrisbulb|Christian]] ([[User talk:Chrisbulb|talk]]) 02:39, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
:You say "This is true because..." as if we doubt you, we know what you're talking about. It's not notable, one out of three, and it's also expected since she already had Blaziken.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:12, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

Forget what I said about May's Blaziken. What I meant to say why the fact is true is because May has a Bulbasaur (now a Venusaur) and a Squirtle (now a Wartortle), but not Charmander.

[[User:Chrisbulb|Christian]] ([[User talk:Chrisbulb|talk]]) 23:42, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
:That is evident by looking at May's Pokemon list, so it doesn't belong in trivia. [[User:ChE clarinetist|ChE clarinetist]] ([[User talk:ChE clarinetist|talk]]) 23:58, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

== Other in-game starters ==

Is that section really necessary? Obviously not every Pokémon Trainer starts out with the same starter Pokémon - Falkner uses his dad's Pokémon, not the starters, and dozens of random NPCs could be running around with Pokémon from the Professors (even if not these specific species), yet the few who mention their first Pokémon say they got them from their parents or something of the sort. For instance, [[Sinnoh Route 204|Youngster Tyler's Magikarp and Starly]] are from his dad if memory serves. Do we ''need'' a section showing all of the known NPC starters? I definitely think only the players' starters belong on this page, except MAYBE Eevee since it was at least ''intended'' for the player; things like Wally's Ralts and Ethan's/Lyra's Marill don't belong here in my opinion.

== Raichu ==

I think we should add Raichu alongside BST comparison table (fully evolved) table for clarity's sake. This is not damaging the table or harming anything, it would make sense to include fully evolved version of Pikachu there, and there would be no need to remove Pikachu. [[User:PkmnTrainerV|The legendary PkmnTrainerV is Here!]] ([[User talk:PkmnTrainerV|talk]]) 11:08, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
:The reason why Raichu is not included is because you can't get Raichu in Yellow nor evolve Pikachu.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 12:18, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
::I know that, I just thought it would be more clear, and with a note about Raichu in Yellow. Since extra info won't hurt. That's my opinion, I guess. [[User:PkmnTrainerV|The legendary PkmnTrainerV is Here!]] ([[User talk:PkmnTrainerV|talk]]) 13:12, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
