'''Smogon University''', commonly shortened to '''Smogon''', is a website whose content encompasses competitive [[Pokémon]] [[Pokémon battle|battling]]. It offers guides on battling strategies for people of different Pokémon knowledge backgrounds. The website was founded by 'chaos' (one of the developers of [[NetBattle]]) and is a considerably well-known website, visited by competitive Pokémon battling enthusiasts.

The Smogon motto is "Pokémon on the Internet: Let's make it happen" and their mascot is the Pokémon {{p|Koffing}}, the name Smogon itself being the German moniker for this Pokémon.

== Site ==
=== Website ===
The official website contains various articles and information about competitive Pokémon battling.
=== Forums ===
The forums has over 120,000 members and several sections. During [[Generation IV]], Smogon was affiliated with [[Shoddy Battle]], and the official support and discussion forum of Shoddy Battle was a section on the Smogon forums. Smogon Residents of the Smogon forums are referred to as "Smogoners" or "Smogonites".

=== IRC ===
Smogon operates several IRC channels on irc.synirc.net, the most important being #pokemon for Pokémon centric discussion and #smogon as the more general channel. Others include #othermetas, #ubers, #genvuu, #neverused, #littlecup, #dw, #dwcouncil, #vgc, #tcg, #smogonwifi, #stark, #insidescoop, #cap, #c&c, #grammar, #ratemyteam, #rarelyused, #battlecapacity, #nuzlocke, #pokedraft, #smeargle, #1v1, #cam!, #lcqc, #warau, #fluodome, #moo, #drachma, #hawk, #ilblud, #fail, #capasb, #mtg, #tf2, #mk7, and #smogcraft. These are all run by community leaders of Smogon.

== Competitive Battling ==
The term 'competitive battling' within Pokémon refers to battling against other human players using either Wifi Battling via the Nintendo DS, the downloadable programs [http://www.pokemon-online.eu Pokémon Online], [http://www.shoddybattle.com Shoddy Battle] and [http://www.netbattle.net NetBattle] or any of a number of battle simulating bots, usually found on {{wp|IRC}}. Both of these are online simulations of Pokémon games, where one may build a team of Pokémon with relative ease. Experienced players, 24-hour servers, diverse communities and an opportunity to test out strategies are just a few advantages of online battling, but perhaps the most vital advantage is battling against sentient players rather than {{wp|artificial intelligence|AI}} - which requires a significant amount more intelligence and strategy to succeed.

=== Pokémon Online ===
[[Pokémon Online (battle simulator)|Pokémon Online]] is an application for competitive Pokémon battling, compatible with [[Generation]]s {{Gen|II}}, {{Gen|III}}, {{Gen|IV}}, and {{Gen|V}}. On November 21, 2010, Smogon released its official [[Pokémon Online (battle simulator)|Pokémon Online]] server, which is usually the second most occupied server, only behind the Pokémon Online test server.

=== Shoddy Battle ===
[[Shoddy Battle]] is an application for [[Generation IV]] competitive Pokémon battling. Due to its increasing popularity during [[Generation IV]], Smogon once ran a dedicated Shoddy Battle server, and later had affiliated with Shoddy Battle itself. Due to Shoddy Battle's incompatibility with [[Generation V]], it was shut down. Smogon planned to host a server on Pokémon Lab, Shoddy Battle's successor. However, [[Pokémon Online (battle simulator)|Pokémon Online]] reached completion while Pokémon Lab was still in its beta stages, so this plan was scrapped.

=== NetBattle ===
NetBattle used to be one of the most popular competitive Pokémon battle simulators on the Internet. Smogon used to have a server on [[NetBattle]], but due to the decreasing popularity of the program, it was shut down.

==Route 207==

While there is not much that can be done here until you receive the [[Bicycle]], you can however obtain a Machop here, since it will help with the upcoming Gym Match, especially if you started with {{p|Chimchar}}. At the top you'll see a berry patch which you can't get to until after you get your second badge. If you do not want to risk for the berry patch to eventually fade out after a large amount of time has passed then do not go too high.

Machop should be a definite catch for this gym just to help a lot if your starter dies. Ponyta is one of the few fire types in the region so if you want a fire type early without starting with Chimchar, Ponyta will help you, evolving into Rapidash.

==Oreburgh Mine==
[[File:Oreburgh Mine 1.png|thumb|200px|left|Oreburgh Mine 1F]]
[[File:Oreburgh Mine Basement.png|thumb|200px|right|Oreburgh Mine Basement]]

You may enter the mine when ready and speak to Roark. Roark is found in the BF1, and you'll watch him perform Rock Smash and then he'll agree to leave to challenge you at his Gym. You may battle the other workers inside the mine if you want to. {{p|Onix}} is an addition to Geodude and Zubat which can be found here. Onix can be a good addition if you can later evolve it into Steelix. If you can't, then dont waste a half hour on finding it. Then you may battle the gym, or go around the city to talk, train or receive items from others.

Welcome to the Oreburgh City Gym. While this is the first Gym there are no puzzles, though it is possible to walk around and not have to face the two trainers in the gym. The two trainers are pretty easy with 1 trainer having two level 10 Geodudes and the second having a level 8 Geodude and level 8 Onix.

Roark leads with a level 12 Geodude which is easily OHKO'd by whatever move you have that is super effective against rock which everyone has. If you don't one hit it can Stealth Rock for hazards when you switch into something (as if). Rock Throw won't do anything, but it should be dead before it does anything anyway. His level 12 Onix does have a high defense stat, so it may take two or three hits unless you are using a water type move or a non-resisted special attack. Onix has the same moves as Geodude adding in Screech to drop your defense by -2. Level 14 Cranidos can be a huge problem if you dont outspeed and OHKO, which can happen. It has a ridiculously high attack stat with Headbutt for massive damage, Leer to drop your defense, making its attacks stronger. Pursuit is a solid move that can hurt a lot if you switch and even in the battle itself.
After the battle, you would receive the {{DL|Badge|Coal Badge}} which allow you to now use {{m|Rock Smash}} outside of battle and you will receive {{TM|76|Stealth Rock}}. Now head back to Oreburgh Gate and you will meet Barry again and he would tell you you need to go back to Jubilife City and then go north, to go to Eterna City.

==Oreburgh Gate (Basement)==
[[Image:Oreburgh Gate basement.png|right|thumb|Oreburgh Gate Basement]]
Now that you have the ability to use Rock Smash you can destroy the rocks to reach the basement. The basement is the first place in the game to find a {{p|Psyduck}}, as well as {{TM|70|Flash}}, where this former [[HM]] can be used later in the game to light up dark caves, though extra copies can be bought in the [[Veilstone Department Store]].

===Later...===
Come back after receiving the Bicycle to hop over the dirt mounds to receive {{TM|31|Brick Break}}. Then after beating the [[Hearthome Gym]] and [[Canalave Gym]], you can use {{m|Surf}} and {{m|Strength}} to find the {{DL|Plate|Earth Plate}} and {{TM|01|Focus Punch}}.

After the battle, the Grunts run off. Professor Rowan explains that while Pokémon release an energy when they evolve, he believes it is beyond human understanding and he notes that Team Galactic is after that power. After he and Lucas/Dawn leave, a man from Jubilife TV arrives who gives you a [[Fashion Case]] and tells you the TV station is open. You may go inside the TV station if you want where trainers can be battled and a mask of your starter Pokémon will be received. Head north to {{rt|204|Sinnoh}}.

[[Image:Ravaged Path.png|thumb|right|Ravaged Path]]
Here, Pokémon can be caught and trainers to battle. Enter the [[Ravaged Path]] at the northern end. You can use your newly acquired Rock Smash to navigate through and can pick up {{TM|39|Rock Tomb}}, using Rock Smash. Exit the cave and battle more trainers and then go to Floaroma Town.

Walkthrough:Pokémon Diamond and Pearl/Part 3

Pokemaniac72: /* Oreburgh Mine */

==Route 207==

While there is not much that can be done here until you receive the [[Bicycle]], you can however obtain a Machop here, since it will help with the upcoming Gym Match, especially if you started with {{p|Chimchar}}. At the top you'll see a berry patch which you can't get to until after you get your second badge. If you do not want to risk for the berry patch to eventually fade out after a large amount of time has passed then do not go too high.

Machop should be a definite catch for this gym just to help a lot if your starter dies. Ponyta is one of the few fire types in the region so if you want a fire type early without starting with Chimchar, Ponyta will help you, evolving into Rapidash.

==Oreburgh Mine==
[[File:Oreburgh Mine 1.png|thumb|200px|left|Oreburgh Mine 1F]]
[[File:Oreburgh Mine Basement.png|thumb|200px|right|Oreburgh Mine Basement]]

You may enter the mine when ready and speak to Roark. Roark is found in the BF1, and you'll watch him perform Rock Smash and then he'll agree to leave to challenge you at his Gym. You may battle the other workers inside the mine if you want to. {{p|Onix}} is an addition to Geodude and Zubat which can be found here. Onix can be a good addition if you can later evolve it into Steelix. If you can't, then dont waste a half hour on finding it. Then you may battle the gym, or go around the city to talk, train or receive items from others.

Welcome to the Oreburgh City Gym. While this is the first Gym there are no puzzles, though it is possible to walk around and not have to face the two trainers in the gym.

After the battle, you would receive the {{DL|Badge|Coal Badge}} which allow you to now use {{m|Rock Smash}} outside of battle and you will receive {{TM|76|Stealth Rock}}. Now head back to Oreburgh Gate and you will meet Barry again and he would tell you you need to go back to Jubilife City and then go north, to go to Eterna City.

==Oreburgh Gate (Basement)==
[[Image:Oreburgh Gate basement.png|right|thumb|Oreburgh Gate Basement]]
Now that you have the ability to use Rock Smash you can destroy the rocks to reach the basement. The basement is the first place in the game to find a {{p|Psyduck}}, as well as {{TM|70|Flash}}, where this former [[HM]] can be used later in the game to light up dark caves, though extra copies can be bought in the [[Veilstone Department Store]].

===Later...===
Come back after receiving the Bicycle to hop over the dirt mounds to receive {{TM|31|Brick Break}}. Then after beating the [[Hearthome Gym]] and [[Canalave Gym]], you can use {{m|Surf}} and {{m|Strength}} to find the {{DL|Plate|Earth Plate}} and {{TM|01|Focus Punch}}.

After the battle, the Grunts run off. Professor Rowan explains that while Pokémon release an energy when they evolve, he believes it is beyond human understanding and he notes that Team Galactic is after that power. After he and Lucas/Dawn leave, a man from Jubilife TV arrives who gives you a [[Fashion Case]] and tells you the TV station is open. You may go inside the TV station if you want where trainers can be battled and a mask of your starter Pokémon will be received. Head north to {{rt|204|Sinnoh}}.

==Route 204==
[[Image:Route 204.png|thumb|left|Route 204]]
[[Image:Ravaged Path.png|thumb|right|Ravaged Path]]
Here, Pokémon can be caught and trainers to battle. Enter the [[Ravaged Path]] at the northern end. You can use your newly acquired Rock Smash to navigate through and can pick up {{TM|39|Rock Tomb}}, using Rock Smash. Exit the cave and battle more trainers and then go to Floaroma Town.

Walkthrough:Pokémon Diamond and Pearl/Part 3

Pokemaniac72: /* Route 207 */

==Route 207==

While there is not much that can be done here until you receive the [[Bicycle]], you can however obtain a Machop here, since it will help with the upcoming Gym Match, especially if you started with {{p|Chimchar}}. At the top you'll see a berry patch which you can't get to until after you get your second badge. If you do not want to risk for the berry patch to eventually fade out after a large amount of time has passed then do not go too high.

Machop should be a definite catch for this gym just to help a lot if your starter dies. Ponyta is one of the few fire types in the region so if you want a fire type early without starting with Chimchar, Ponyta will help you, evolving into Rapidash.

==Oreburgh Mine==
[[File:Oreburgh Mine 1.png|thumb|200px|left|Oreburgh Mine 1F]]
[[File:Oreburgh Mine Basement.png|thumb|200px|right|Oreburgh Mine Basement]]

You may enter the mine when ready and speak to Roark. Roark is found in the BF1, and you'll watch him perform Rock Smash and then he'll agree to leave to challenge you at his Gym. You may battle the other workers inside the mine if you want to. {{p|Onix}} is an addition to Geodude and Zubat which can be found here. Then you may battle the gym, or go around the city to talk, train or receive items from others.

Welcome to the Oreburgh City Gym. While this is the first Gym there are no puzzles, though it is possible to walk around and not have to face the two trainers in the gym.

After the battle, you would receive the {{DL|Badge|Coal Badge}} which allow you to now use {{m|Rock Smash}} outside of battle and you will receive {{TM|76|Stealth Rock}}. Now head back to Oreburgh Gate and you will meet Barry again and he would tell you you need to go back to Jubilife City and then go north, to go to Eterna City.

==Oreburgh Gate (Basement)==
[[Image:Oreburgh Gate basement.png|right|thumb|Oreburgh Gate Basement]]
Now that you have the ability to use Rock Smash you can destroy the rocks to reach the basement. The basement is the first place in the game to find a {{p|Psyduck}}, as well as {{TM|70|Flash}}, where this former [[HM]] can be used later in the game to light up dark caves, though extra copies can be bought in the [[Veilstone Department Store]].

===Later...===
Come back after receiving the Bicycle to hop over the dirt mounds to receive {{TM|31|Brick Break}}. Then after beating the [[Hearthome Gym]] and [[Canalave Gym]], you can use {{m|Surf}} and {{m|Strength}} to find the {{DL|Plate|Earth Plate}} and {{TM|01|Focus Punch}}.

After the battle, the Grunts run off. Professor Rowan explains that while Pokémon release an energy when they evolve, he believes it is beyond human understanding and he notes that Team Galactic is after that power. After he and Lucas/Dawn leave, a man from Jubilife TV arrives who gives you a [[Fashion Case]] and tells you the TV station is open. You may go inside the TV station if you want where trainers can be battled and a mask of your starter Pokémon will be received. Head north to {{rt|204|Sinnoh}}.

==Route 204==
[[Image:Route 204.png|thumb|left|Route 204]]
[[Image:Ravaged Path.png|thumb|right|Ravaged Path]]
Here, Pokémon can be caught and trainers to battle. Enter the [[Ravaged Path]] at the northern end. You can use your newly acquired Rock Smash to navigate through and can pick up {{TM|39|Rock Tomb}}, using Rock Smash. Exit the cave and battle more trainers and then go to Floaroma Town.

Walkthrough:Pokémon Diamond and Pearl/Part 2

2011-08-15T21:12:47Z

Pokemaniac72: /* Route 203 */

=={{rt|202|Sinnoh}}==
[[Image:Route 202.png|thumb|Route 202]]
When you first reach the start of {{rt|202|Sinnoh}}, {{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}} will give a demonstration on how to catch Pokémon by catching a wild Bidoof. The assistant will then give you 5 [[Poké Ball]]s immediately after. The Pokémon that Lucas/Dawn has is the Starter Pokémon that you and {{ga|Barry}} did not choose earlier. Before departing, Lucas / Dawn will mention that it is better to lower the Pokémon's health more and if you can inflict a status condition even better. Now having the ability to capture Pokémon, you can now trade between games through the Union Room.

|}

Now that you can now use Poké Balls. It is recommended that you start catching a few, such as {{p|Starly}} or {{p|Shinx}}, since you will be facing Barry soon and his starter Pokémon will be at the point where it will have a move of its own type in its arsenal, and your stater may need the extra backup.

Then you are off, having some of your first battles in the game. This is the first route where you can {{pkmn|battle}} {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. There are three Trainers, Youngster Tristan with a Lv5 Starly, Lass Natalie with two Lv3 Bidoof and Youngster Logan with a Lv5 Shinx.

Catching Bidoof and evolving it into a Bibarel is probably the best HM slave in the game. Shinx is a good pickup as a solid choice that evolves into Luxio then Luxray. Shinx helps against water and especially flying types if you picked Turtwig or Chimchar, and helps Piplup out as well. Kricketot is hard to deal with and should just be left alone even when it becomes Kricketune. Oh and Starly is one of the best flying types in the game, especially when it evolves into Staravia and then Staraptor, getting Close Combat and Brave Bird plus being able to learn Fly.

==Jubilife City==
[[Image:Jubilife City Cadellin.png|thumb|280px|right|Jubilife City]]
[[Image:Digiwatch.png|thumb|right|The Digital Watch app.]]

Continue on to [[Jubilife City]], where {{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}} is waiting, to tell you that your rival {{ga|Barry}} is at the Trainer School. Until you complete your missions here you cannot go east to {{rt|203|Sinnoh}}, however you can go north to {{rt|204|Sinnoh}} to face more wild Pokémon and catch a {{p|Budew}} which can help a little with your first gym match, especially if you chose {{p|Chimchar}}.

===Trainer School===
{{sign|DPcity|header}}
{{sign|DPcity|title|Trainers' School}}
{{sign|DPcity|The First Step for Trainers!}}
{{sign|DPcity|footer}}

The building to the west of the Pokémon Center is the Trainer school. Here you meet Barry. You give the parcel, and containing inside the parcel are 2 town maps. You receive one [[Town Map]]. Barry then leaves for Oreburgh City. The two Trainers can be fought on the top left hand side of the school. They is School Kid Harrisson, with a level 6 Abra, and School Kid Christine, also with a level 6 Abra. After you battle them, you can receive {{m|Hidden Power}} from the boy.

===Pokétch Company===
{{sign|DPcity|header}}
{{sign|DPcity|title|The Pokétch Company}}
{{sign|DPcity|Pokémon Watches for the World!}}
{{sign|DPcity|footer}}
The Pokétch company is a company that makes the new appliance the [[Pokétch]]. After you receive the town map, the owner would come and talk about the [[Pokétch]]. He says to bring 3 coupons from clowns around the city to receive one. The clowns would ask simple questions and after you get it right, you receive the coupon (the first answer on each question is the correct one for all three). After you do that, return to the man to receive the Pokétch. The Pokétch building is the upper-west corner of the city. After you receive the old-numbered badges as shown in your Trainer case (Coal Badge, Cobble Badge, Relic Badge, and Icicle Badge) you can talk to the owner inside the building to receive a new application for the Pokétch. Out of all you can receive from him, the Marking Map is the most useful since it can be used to track [[Roaming Pokémon]].

===Global Trade Station===
The building in the south western area is the Golbal Trade Station where people can connect with other players worldwide. However, you'll need to get the {{DL|Badge|Coal Badge}} first.

===Jubilife TV===
{{sign|DPcity|header}}
{{sign|DPcity|title|Jubilife TV}}
{{sign|DPcity|The Fun-and-Games TV Station!}}
{{sign|DPcity|footer}}

The building that is west of the northern exit to Route 204 is where the TV station is. You'll be able to enter after receiving the Coal Badge and receiving the [[Fashion Case]]. This build is where the [[Time|daily]] lottery to receive prizes depending on your the matchup with your Trainer ID numbers for your Pokémon. You can also dress up your Pokémon on the second floor with [[Accessory|accessories]]. The third floor is where you can access your game records.

Once you have the Town Map and Pokétch you can help east to Route 204.

The new finds Zubat and Abra are completely useless, Abra being near uncatchable because of Teleport. Also to avoid wild Pokemon go to the PokéMart and buy Repels to repel the wild Pokémon. Magikarp, if you have enough patience, because Magikarp is the weakest Pokémon ever, evolves into the brutally powerful Gyarados, which is a great addition and can learn Surf, Waterfall, Strength, and Rock Climb.

==Oreburgh Gate==
[[Image:Oreburgh Gate.png|thumb|Oreburgh Gate]]
Enter the cave on the east and you will find yourself in Oreburgh gate. The Hiker at the entrance would speak to you and give you {{m|Rock Smash}}. Then fight the two Trainers inside the cave. {{p|Geodude}} and {{p|Zubat}} can be found here. There is nothing else to do here until you can gain your first badge. Head east to [[Oreburgh City]]

When you enter the city, a Youngster would show you to the gym. You will meet your rival Barry, but he will announce you are too late to battle the gym leader [[Roark]]. He'll mention that Roark has left for the mine. If you explore around town, you can find in a condominium that is left of the [[Poké Mart]] that will trade you an {{p|Abra}} for a {{p|Machop}}. If you want you can get it if you don't wish to catch Abra on {{rt|203|Sinnoh}}. You can also find some free [[Poké Ball]] types from different people around town.

The only important building in Oreburgh Cith is the Mining Museum. When you retrieve a [[fossil]] from the [[Underground]], you can talk to the man at the counter in the building to revive the fossil and retrieve whichever Pokémon is associated with that fossil. Each version determines what kind of fossil is commonly found, aside from the Old Amber.

Head north to {{rt|207|Sinnoh}}.

=={{rt|202|Sinnoh}}==
[[Image:Route 202.png|thumb|Route 202]]
When you first reach the start of {{rt|202|Sinnoh}}, {{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}} will give a demonstration on how to catch Pokémon by catching a wild Bidoof. The assistant will then give you 5 [[Poké Ball]]s immediately after. The Pokémon that Lucas/Dawn has is the Starter Pokémon that you and {{ga|Barry}} did not choose earlier. Before departing, Lucas / Dawn will mention that it is better to lower the Pokémon's health more and if you can inflict a status condition even better. Now having the ability to capture Pokémon, you can now trade between games through the Union Room.

Now that you can now use Poké Balls. It is recommended that you start catching a few, such as {{p|Starly}} or {{p|Shinx}}, since you will be facing Barry soon and his starter Pokémon will be at the point where it will have a move of its own type in its arsenal, and your stater may need the extra backup.

Then you are off, having some of your first battles in the game. This is the first route where you can {{pkmn|battle}} {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. There are three Trainers, Youngster Tristan with a Lv5 Starly, Lass Natalie with two Lv3 Bidoof and Youngster Logan with a Lv5 Shinx.

Catching Bidoof and evolving it into a Bibarel is probably the best HM slave in the game. Shinx is a good pickup as a solid choice that evolves into Luxio then Luxray. Shinx helps against water and especially flying types if you picked Turtwig or Chimchar, and helps Piplup out as well. Kricketot is hard to deal with and should just be left alone even when it becomes Kricketune. Oh and Starly is one of the best flying types in the game, especially when it evolves into Staravia and then Staraptor, getting Close Combat and Brave Bird plus being able to learn Fly.

==Jubilife City==
[[Image:Jubilife City Cadellin.png|thumb|280px|right|Jubilife City]]
[[Image:Digiwatch.png|thumb|right|The Digital Watch app.]]

Continue on to [[Jubilife City]], where {{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}} is waiting, to tell you that your rival {{ga|Barry}} is at the Trainer School. Until you complete your missions here you cannot go east to {{rt|203|Sinnoh}}, however you can go north to {{rt|204|Sinnoh}} to face more wild Pokémon and catch a {{p|Budew}} which can help a little with your first gym match, especially if you chose {{p|Chimchar}}.

===Trainer School===
{{sign|DPcity|header}}
{{sign|DPcity|title|Trainers' School}}
{{sign|DPcity|The First Step for Trainers!}}
{{sign|DPcity|footer}}

The building to the west of the Pokémon Center is the Trainer school. Here you meet Barry. You give the parcel, and containing inside the parcel are 2 town maps. You receive one [[Town Map]]. Barry then leaves for Oreburgh City. The two Trainers can be fought on the top left hand side of the school. They is School Kid Harrisson, with a level 6 Abra, and School Kid Christine, also with a level 6 Abra. After you battle them, you can receive {{m|Hidden Power}} from the boy.

===Pokétch Company===
{{sign|DPcity|header}}
{{sign|DPcity|title|The Pokétch Company}}
{{sign|DPcity|Pokémon Watches for the World!}}
{{sign|DPcity|footer}}
The Pokétch company is a company that makes the new appliance the [[Pokétch]]. After you receive the town map, the owner would come and talk about the [[Pokétch]]. He says to bring 3 coupons from clowns around the city to receive one. The clowns would ask simple questions and after you get it right, you receive the coupon (the first answer on each question is the correct one for all three). After you do that, return to the man to receive the Pokétch. The Pokétch building is the upper-west corner of the city. After you receive the old-numbered badges as shown in your Trainer case (Coal Badge, Cobble Badge, Relic Badge, and Icicle Badge) you can talk to the owner inside the building to receive a new application for the Pokétch. Out of all you can receive from him, the Marking Map is the most useful since it can be used to track [[Roaming Pokémon]].

===Global Trade Station===
The building in the south western area is the Golbal Trade Station where people can connect with other players worldwide. However, you'll need to get the {{DL|Badge|Coal Badge}} first.

===Jubilife TV===
{{sign|DPcity|header}}
{{sign|DPcity|title|Jubilife TV}}
{{sign|DPcity|The Fun-and-Games TV Station!}}

The building that is west of the northern exit to Route 204 is where the TV station is. You'll be able to enter after receiving the Coal Badge and receiving the [[Fashion Case]]. This build is where the [[Time|daily]] lottery to receive prizes depending on your the matchup with your Trainer ID numbers for your Pokémon. You can also dress up your Pokémon on the second floor with [[Accessory|accessories]]. The third floor is where you can access your game records.

Each version determines what kind of fossil is commonly found, aside from the Old Amber.

Head north to {{rt|207|Sinnoh}}.

Walkthrough:Pokémon Diamond and Pearl/Part 1

2011-08-15T18:24:13Z

Pokemaniac72: /* Lake Verity */

[[Image:Twinleaf Town map.png|thumb|Twinleaf Town]]
==In the Beginning...==
When you first turn on the game, [[Professor Rowan]] introduces himself and but says to just call him the Pokémon Professor. He then asks if it is the Player's first adventure and is willing to give advice as needed such as the basic control and adventure information. Then, he talks and asks you to touch the button in the middle circle of the [[Poké Ball]]. A Munchlax then appears from the Poké Ball and the Professor goes on to speak about the human relationship alongside Pokémon as friends. He then states that his job as a Professor is to conduct research on these Pokémon.

You are then asked if you a boy or a girl, so choose wisely as you will be unable to change this once you have started your adventure. You are then able to choose a name which should be chosen wisely as well as it wills stay with you for the remainder of the game. You are than asked what your friend's name is who will be your Rival for the game.

Your adventure now begins, so it's time to jump into the world of Pokémon!

==Twinleaf Town==
[[Image:Rival Lake.png|thumb|Your rival takes you to [[Lake Verity]]]]
The journey begins at the player's home in [[Twinleaf Town]]. They are watching the television special report titled,"Search for the Red Gyrados!" when a news broadcast describes a team searching for a [[red Gyarados]] in a far-off lake (presumably the [[Lake of Rage]] in [[Johto]]). The broadcast states that the team has not observed the Pokémon in question.

On your way out of the house, the Player's mother will tell you that your rival {{ga|Barry}} wishes to see you as it is an emergency. She also warns you to stay out the tall grass as Wild Pokémon may attack. Just as you enter his house, Barry bumps into you. Barry first says that he is fine and is fining you {{PDollar}}1 million if you aren't there. After speaking, Barry runs back inside because he seemed to have forgotten something. Head inside and upstairs, where Barry will decide what he should bring. Barry then notices you and rushes out of the house. Barry will now wait for you on [[Sinnoh Route 201]].

==Lake Verity==
[[Image:Rowan Dawn Verity.png|thumb|left|Rowan's assistant Dawn/Lucas with [[Professor Rowan]]]]
[[Image:Verity.png|thumb|right|Lake Verity]]
[[Image:DP First Battle.png|thumb|right|First Battle]]
After reaching route 201, Barry will now speak of the news report on TV about the Red Gyrados. He wants to go to the local lake to see if there is a similar Pokémon, so he will now follow you right behind you. The only place you can walk to is [[Lake Verity]]. Upon their arrival, they'll see [[Professor Rowan]], and either {{ga|Lucas}} or {{ga|Dawn}}. The other person with Rowan is the opposite gender of your selected character. The two are discussing the return of Rowan to [[Sinnoh]] after four years. They push past you, with Lucas/Dawn apologizing. Barry remarks that the man is intimidating, and then begins to search the lake. Once the two of you enter the long grass, both are attacked by a wild {{p|Starly}}. You'll then open the briefcase to find three [[Poké Ball]]s, containing {{p|Piplup}}, {{p|Chimchar}} and {{p|Turtwig}}.

You choose one(the Pokemon you choose will become your starter Pokemon), and Barry automatically selects the one with a type advantage over that one. The battle is with a Level 2 Starly giving 16 experience points.

Choosing the correct starter Pokémon for your playstyle can be an important choice in the game.

Turtwig, the Turtle Pokémon, is a solid choice. Turtwig evolves into Grotle, and then Torterra at level 32. Turtwig is a Grass type Pokémon, and Torterra gains a Ground type. Torterra has great Attack and Defense, but low Special Attack and Speed. It gets Razor Leaf and Crunch pretty early on, and Earthquake eventually. Torterra also gets Wood Hammer from the Move Tutor. Another good move for Torterra is Curse, which boosts its Attack and Defense, its two best stats, while decreasing its useless speed. It also gets Synthesis for healing itself. For TM moves it gets Bullet Seed, Iron Tail, Rock Tomb, Return, Giga Impact, Stone Edge, and Rock Slide. Also it gets TM Rock Polish to give it +2 Speed every time it uses it, which helps patch up its horrific speed. Swords Dance is useless with Curse in existance. It can learn Cut, Strength, Rock Smash, and Rock Climb for HM move. Torterra does have a 4x Ice weakness, so be wary of that. It any case Turtwig does good at the gyms for the most part and is a good choice for your starter.

Chimchar, the Monkey Pokemon, has high speed, low defenses, and high attacking stats. It can use physical and special moves. It evolves at level 14, into Monferno, a Fire/Fighting type, and gains a lot of power. If you make sure Chimchar evolves before the first gym, you shouldn't have trouble with the rock types. Chimchar and its evolution line focus primarily on offense and speed, boasting high Attack, Special Attack, and Speed. Its Defense and Special Defense are low, but it has the power to take out most Pokemon in the game with one hit before they even get a chance to strike, so it's not really that bad. Some good moves Chimchar gets are Flame Wheel, Close Combat, Mach Punch, and Flare Blitz. Brick Break, Stone Edge/Rock Slide, and Swords Dance are the main TM moves to consider, although it learns many, many more. It gets the HMs Cut, Strength (a good attacking option as well), Rock Smash and Rock Climb. In comparison to the other two starter Pokemon, Chimchar is probably the best.

Piplup, the Penguin Pokemon, has high defenses and special attack. Its attack is pretty meh and its speed is also pretty meh. When it becomes Empoleon, it gains the Steel type. The addition of the Steel-type will give it a wide variety of resistances, making it take very little damage from quite a few attacks. Pretty much, only Electric-, Fighting-, and Ground-type attacks are what you need to worry about — nearly everything else is resisted. Unfortunately, this good typing comes at a high cost: a bad movepool. Basically its best level up moves are Metal Claw, Aqua Jet, Bubblebeam, Peck, and Drill Peck and with Empoleon's sub-par Attack stat, it is better off using Special-based attacks. If you are fine using TMs and HMs on Empoleon, Surf (HM03) and Flash Cannon (TM90) are both very powerful attacks for Empoleon to learn. Also Empoleon does eventually get Hydro Pump at level 59, but surf is preferred for general utility. In comparison to the other two starters, Piplup is probably the hardest to use. It will struggle with sub-par moves until you get the HM for Surf (right before the 5th Badge), but will then become much more useful, and very powerful after getting Flash Cannon.
All of the starters are solid choice and it is down to your preference and playstyle. In any case, time to move on.

Suddenly, Lucas/Dawn returns and remarks that Rowan would be very angry if he/she forgot the briefcase. You are then both asked if you have used a Pokémon from the briefcase. After replying, Lucas/Dawn takes the briefcase and hurries off.

==Twinleaf Town==
[[Image:Receiving Running Shoes.png|thumb|left|Getting the [[Running Shoes]]]]

On the way back to Twinleaf Town, you'll meet Lucas/Dawn, along with [[Professor Rowan]], who then takes a look at the Pokémon belonging to both you and Barry, then returns back to the lab with his assistant. The assistant then mentions that you should stop by the Professor's lab and then hurries off.

After that, you'll automatically return to your house in Twinleaf Town. The Player explains the situation that occurred at the lake. Mom gives you a pair of [[Running Shoes]] and asks her child to visit Professor Rowan in [[Sandgem Town]].

Once you are on Route 201, turn right head East, through the tall grass. Two Pokémon, [[Bidoof]] and [[Starly]], can be found here but they cannot be caught yet. After going through the patch of tall grass head North and through another patch until you reach a woman. She works for the [[Poké Mart]] and will give you a free potion. Continue going East until you reach Sandgem Town.

==Sandgem Town==
[[Image:Receiving Pokémon.png|thumb|left|The professor gives the player the Pokémon]]
[[Image:Sandgem Town map.png|thumb|right|Sandgem Town]]
Upon reaching Sandgem Town, the Professor's assistant will stop you and have them go with them. You are then shown the Pokémon lab, the largest building in town. As you are about to enter, Barry zooms out and says that the man isn't as intimidating as he first seemed, then departs for [[Jubilife City]]. After entering the lab, Professor Rowan examines the Pokémon you chose at the lake and lets you keep the starter Pokémon as a gift. You will then be given the option to nickaname it. The Professor formally introduces himself, and will entrust you with a [[Pokédex]] to record the data on all of the Pokémon that are found throughout the Sinnoh region. Lucas/Dawn also says that he/she is on a Pokédex quest and mention the first Pokémon that they used which is the last one not chosen by you or your rival.

Upon departing the lab, Lucas/Dawn will give you a tour and show you the Pokémon Center and Poké Mart. The assistant then insists that you tell your mom that you are leaving on a journey. After you leave Sandgem Town, Lucas/Dawn will be on {{rt|202|Sinnoh}}, but first you'll need to complete your mission to Twinleaf Town.

==Twinleaf Town==
Once you get past Route 201, head to your house and after getting some rest, your mother is happy to hear the news and will give you the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Key items exclusive to Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum|Journal}} to keep a record of your day-to-day activities. Your mother makes sure to make a point of coming back to visit as she loves you. Barry's mother then stops by and admits that Barry left so fast that he forgot the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Key items exclusive to Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum|Parcel}}, but your mother suggests that you can delivery this to Barry personally. Barry's mom mentions that Barry should be in Jubilife City right now. Afterwards leave Twinleaf and return to Sandgem Town. Head south to {{rt|219|Sinnoh}} to pick up a {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Antidote}}, though you cannot explore the rest of this route until you can use {{m|Surf}}. Afterwards head north of Sandgem Town to reach Route 202.

Appendix:Metagame terminology

2011-02-16T01:38:32Z

Pokemaniac72:

{{cleanup}}
{{incomplete}}
{| align=right
| __TOC__
|}

The '''Pokémon metagame''' has various '''fanmade terminology''' for battle strategies and techniques.

==Broad terms==
General terms that can apply to a number of different Pokémon.
===Annoyer===
A Pokémon designed with the sole purpose of annoying the opponent and making it difficult for him/her to use a move. These Pokémon are also known as Paraflinchers. Moves for this purpose include {{m|Confuse Ray}}, {{m|Thunder Wave}}, {{m|Protect}} and {{m|Attract}}. It should be noted that the use of Annoyers has fallen since the start of [[Generation III]], mostly due to the fact that they rely too much on luck.

Two relatively common Annoyers in [[Generation IV]] are {{p|Jirachi}} (with {{a|Serene Grace}}, {{m|Iron Head}} and {{m|Thunder Wave}}) and {{p|Togekiss}} (with {{a|Serene Grace}}, {{m|Air Slash}} and {{m|Thunder Wave}}).

There are also parafusers, with the most popular of them being {{p|Rotom}}. They also rely on {{m|Thunder Wave}}, but instead of having {{a|Serene Grace}} they inflict {{status|confusion}}.

===Anti-Leads===
Anti-Leads are Pokémon that are used to counter common [[#Leads|Leads]]. These Pokémon may be carrying a [[Choice Scarf]] to outspeed the opposing expected lead and then carry a super-effective attack. An example of a Pokémon like this is {{p|Weavile}}; it is fast, it can {{m|Taunt|taunt}} to prevent hazards and it can also use a combination of {{DL|In-battle effect item|Focus Sash}} and {{m|Counter}} to KO opposing leads. {{p|Gengar}} is another example of this, holding a Focus Sash with {{m|Counter}}, {{m|Destiny Bond}}, {{m|Hypnosis}} and other moves to disable Pokémon. {{p|Forretress}} can also be considered an anti-lead, as it commonly carries {{m|Gyro Ball}} which is super-effective on leads such as Weavile and {{p|Aerodactyl}}. It can also deal with hazards set up by {{p|Aerodactyl}} with {{m|Rapid Spin}} and can also break Focus Sashes with this move.

===Aromatherapist===
''See [[#Cleric|Cleric]].''

===Baton Passer===
A Pokémon with {{m|Baton Pass}} and at least one stat-boosting move such as {{m|Swords Dance}} or {{m|Agility}}, or {{m|Psych Up}}, {{m|Mean Look}} or {{m|Substitute}}. Raises one or more stats and/or activates one or more of the above moves, then Baton Passes the effects to another Pokémon in the party. Stat boosts are countered by a [[#Hazer|Hazer]] or [[#Pseudo-Hazer (SHazer)|Pseudo-Hazer]]. A good example of a Baton Passer is {{p|Ninjask}}, who {{a|Speed Boost|gains one level of Speed after each turn}}. A Baton Passer often abuses the move {{m|Protect}} and may use Swords Dance and/or Substitute as well. Ninjask commonly carries Substitute and a [[Liechi Berry]] so that it can Baton Pass four Speed Boosts, a Leichu boost, and possibly a few Swords Dance boosts or a Substitute. Baton Passers can counter Pseudo-Hazers by passing {{m|Ingrain}}, however only {{p|Smeargle}} can learn both of these moves through {{m|Sketch}}. Pseudo-Hazers that utilize {{m|Roar}} or {{m|Whirlwind}} can be evaded by Baton Passing to a Pokémon with {{a|Soundproof}}, however they also cannot receive maneuvers such as {{m|Heal Bell}} and {{m|Perish Song}}.

====Baton Pass Chain====
Continuous use of the move {{m|Baton Pass}} on various Pokémon in order to accumulate stat boosts, often used to boost and pass a variety of different stats that one Pokémon couldn't pass itself. A good example of a Pokémon that can set this up is {{p|Ninjask}} because of {{a|Speed Boost}}, {{m|Protect}} and {{m|Swords Dance}}.

===Bulky Water===
A {{type2|Water}} Pokémon that has high HP, Defense, or Special Defense [[stats]]. Popular bulky waters include {{p|Vaporeon}}, {{p|Swampert}}, and {{p|Burungel}}.

===Choice User===
This subsection refers to Pokémon that have a hold item that affects in-battle move power or speed with the cost of being able to only use one move until a switch-out or in the event that Pokémon faints.

====Choice Bander====
A Pokémon with a moveset that usually contains four powerful physical moves and wears the hold item {{DL|In-battle effect item|Choice Band}}. A Choice Bander usually serves either as a lead or a finisher, due to the sheer power it can dish out. Popular Choice Banders include {{p|Heracross}} and {{p|Salamence}}.

====Scarf Wearer====
A Pokémon with a moveset that usually contains four powerful moves and wears the hold item [[Choice Scarf]]. A Scarf Wearer is usually a very powerful Pokémon with subpar speed compared to faster counter Pokémon that might outfight it, or is used on [[#Revenge Killer|Revenge Killers]]. Popular Scarf Wearers include {{p|Heracross}} and {{p|Weavile}}.

====Specs Wearer====
A Pokémon with a moveset that usually contains four powerful special moves and wears the hold item {{DL|In-battle effect item|Choice Specs}}. Like a Choice Bander, a Specs Wearer will often lead off with powerful attacks or act as a finisher. Popular Specs Wearers include {{p|Alakazam}} and {{p|Porygon-Z}}.

===Clause===
Akin to House Rules, Clauses are various rules that fans apply to their battles. Since most player battles are free-for-alls, players usually agree on restrictions for moves, items and [[tiers]]. There also exist several official clauses that are usually applied to Stadium/Colosseum battles in the console connectivity games and [[Battle Tower]] challenges. [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] is currently the only official way for players to battle with these clauses enforced by the game.

===Cleric===
A Pokémon that utilizes {{m|Aromatherapy}} or {{m|Heal Bell}} to cure itself and its team members. Clerics are often partnered with {{m|Rest}} users or Pokémon with few means to heal themselves. However, Aromatherapy only appears in the movesets of a number of {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon and the {{p|Blissey}} and {{p|Clefable}} families, and {{m|Heal Bell}} does not affect Pokémon with the ability {{a|Soundproof}}. Popular Clerics include Blissey, Clefable and {{p|Celebi}}.

===Counter===
A Pokémon that is able to successfully switch into the opposing Pokémon and is subsequently able to defeat it after switching in. For example, {{p|Gliscor}} is a Counter to {{p|Heracross}}, since it resists Heracross's strongest attacks ({{m|Megahorn}} and {{m|Close Combat}}) and can defeat it easily with a {{type2|Flying}} attack, such as {{m|Aerial Ace}}.

===Death Fodder===
''See [[#Decoy|Decoy]]''.

===Decoy===
Any Pokémon that is 'sacrificed' against a strong opponent. The aim is to weaken the opponent's Pokémon before the sacrificial Pokémon is knocked out, then switch to a stronger Pokémon, preferably one whose moveset has an advantage over the opponent. A Decoy is often used to switch to a different Pokémon without causing damage to the Pokémon one wants to battle by sacrificing the Decoy.

===DDer===
Any Pokémon that makes use of {{m|Dragon Dance}}. Usually, a DDer is a fast physical [[#Sweeper|Sweeper]] such as {{p|Gyarados}}, {{p|Kingdra}} or {{p|Salamence}}.

===Dual Screens===
The combination of {{m|Light Screen}} and {{m|Reflect}}, improving the team's defenses. {{m|Brick Break}} can be used to break dual screens.

===Endureversal===
A moveset designed to {{m|Endure}} down to one HP, then {{m|Reversal}} or {{m|Flail}} for massive damage, since Reversal and Flail have 200 base power at 1%-4% HP. The item held is often a [[Salac Berry]] or a [[Liechi Berry]], tying in with the previous strategy. Popular Endureversal include {{p|Feraligatr}}, {{p|Heracross}} and {{p|Kabutops}}. This strategy is similar to the [[F.E.A.R]] strategy.

===Evasion clause===
The use of evasion boosting moves like {{m|Double Team}} or {{m|Minimize}} is forbidden under the Evasion Clause. Similar moves which instead decrease the opposing Pokémon's accuracy, such as {{m|Sand-Attack}}, {{m|Mud-Slap}}, {{m|Mirror Shot}} and {{m|Mud Bomb}}, are more widely accepted. {{m|Acupressure}} and {{a|Sudden Impulse}} can increase the user's evasion, but still do not fall under this clause.

===Flailer===
''See [[#Endureversal|Endureversal]]''.

===Freeze clause===
Two Pokémon on the same team cannot be frozen at the same time. Since {{status|freeze|freezing}} happens randomly, it is only available on games like {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} and battle simulators like {{OBP|Pokémon Online|battle simulator}}.

===Glass Cannon===
A Pokémon that has extremely high offensive stats, which are contrasted with its poor defensive stats and often insufficient Speed (such as {{p|Sharpedo}} and {{p|Rampardos}}). A {{DL|In-battle effect item|Choice Scarf}} is often employed on such Pokémon to make up for their lack of sufficient Speed, but other {{DL|In-battle effect item|Choice items}} may also be used.

===Hax===
Something that relies more on chance than reliability or strategy. Hax can be manipulated in many different ways, including the use of [[items]] such as {{DL|In-battle effect item|Quick Claw}}, {{DL|In-battle effect item|Focus Band}} {{DL|In-battle effect item|BrightPowder}}, the use of the ability {{a|Serene Grace}} and the use of moves such as {{m|Fissure}} or {{m|Sheer Cold}}. Critical hits and extra effects of attacks, such as {{m|Flamethrower}} burning the foe, are often considered Hax. One variation of Hax is a Parahax.

===Hazer===
A Pokémon that has a moveset with {{m|Haze}} in it. Much like a [[#Spiker|Spiker]], it can have any combination of moves along with Haze. Fast Pokémon and those with high defenses, such as {{p|Altaria}} and {{p|Articuno}}, make good Hazers.

===HM Slave===

{{main|HM Slave}}

An HM Slave is a Pokémon mostly untrained for battle which is used for basic case of learning [[HM]]s and being the one to use them out of battle when needed. It is mostly kept in a [[PC]] box and not part of a general team and is used as an extra Pokémon that learns HMs, so a {{pkmn|Trainer}} doesn't have to teach HMs to his or her main battlers. It is generally only brought out of a PC box when the use of HMs are needed. Due to {{p|Bibarel}} being capable of learning six{{sup|DPPt}} or seven{{sup|HGSS}}, it is often (if not always) [[tiers|classified]] as the authentically perfect HM slave.
{{p|Tropius}} is also regarded as a good HM slave as it can learn five HMs, including {{m|Fly}}.

===HP===
Usually used as an abbreviation for "[[Hit Points]]", but often refers to the move {{m|Hidden Power}}. For example, "HP Water" refers to a Hidden Power that is of the {{type2|Water}}.

===Item Clause===
A rule whereby the use of more than one of the same [[held item]] is forbidden. While not enforced by most competitive players, it is enforced in Official Pokémon Competition, and also in-game facilities such as the [[Battle Frontier]] or [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]'s [[Colosseum]]s.

===IV Battle===
A level 100 [[Wi-Fi]] battle where the purpose is not actually to battle, but to observe what the Pokémon's stats will look like at level 100, which is the most optimal way to calculate what the Pokémon's IVs are. This is typically done with freshly hatched Pokémon, as EVs don't have to be included in such calculations.

===Lead===
The starting Pokémon of a team. In general, these Pokémon do at least one of two things: set up hazards or prevent the opponent from setting up hazards. Examples of Pokémon that do both are {{p|Aerodactyl}} (with {{m|Taunt}} and {{m|Stealth Rock}}), {{p|Forretress}} (with {{m|Rapid Spin}}, {{m|Spikes}}, {{m|Stealth Rock}} and {{m|Toxic Spikes}}) and {{p|Tentacruel}} (with {{m|Rapid Spin}} and {{m|Toxic Spikes}}). An example of Pokémon that only set up hazards is {{p|Heatran}} (with {{m|Stealth Rock}}). An example of a lead that only prevents hazards is {{p|Weavile}} (with {{m|Taunt}}).

===Legit===
A shortened form of '''legitimate''', refers to Pokémon that haven't been [[cheating|cheated]] or hacked in any way. This includes acquiring or modifying Pokémon via a [[GameShark]], [[Action Replay]], [[Pokésav]], etc. It is commonly used among players who are trading rare [[Event Pokémon]].

===Level Clause===
All Pokémon used by both trainers should be close to the same level, which is usually 50 or 100. With the advent of {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, [[Wi-Fi]] battles are capable of setting Pokémon levels to 50 or 100 (rounding them up or down as necessary), so a Level Clause really only applies to local battles.

===Masuda method===
{{main|Masuda method}}
A technique used to hatch {{Shiny}} {{pkmn|egg}}s involving Pokémon originating from games of different languages. For example, if the player has a North American game card, and receives a Japanese {{p|Ampharos}} and breeds it with a {{p|Pikachu}} from their own card, the offspring has a much higher chance of being shiny.

===Mono-Team===
A Pokémon team that is entirely of one certain [[type]], or even one species. These are more common in Random [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] matches than in serious matches. This is often countered since they can bring in something that has an unadulterated type advantage. For example, one may have a team consisting only of {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon, while the opponent may have a {{p|Honchkrow}} with above-average Attack and Speed stats that knows moves such as {{m|Dark Pulse}} or {{m|Night Slash}}, used to easily and quickly defeat the all-Ghost team.

===Mono-color===
A way to play using Pokémon of only one color. If a player wanted an all-green team, he or she might choose {{p|Gallade}}, {{p|Tyranitar}}, {{p|Cradily}}, a [[Shiny Pokémon|Shiny]] {{p|Salamence}}, {{p|Politoed}} and {{p|Breloom}}.

===One-hit knockout move (OHKO moves)===
{{main|One-hit knockout move}}
These are moves that cause immediate fainting when they hit; but their accuracy is accordingly low (30%). Namely:
*{{m|Sheer Cold}}
*{{m|Fissure}}
*{{m|Horn Drill}}
*{{m|Guillotine}}

In [[#Standard rules|Standard rules]], OHKO moves are forbidden, so these are rarely seen.

===Pinch Berry===
Any one of the following: {{b|Liechi}}, {{b|Ganlon}}, {{b|Salac}}, {{b|Petaya}}, {{b|Apicot}}, {{b|Lansat}}, and {{b|Starf}}. These berries raise a specific stat when the holder's HP falls below 1/3 (or in a pinch, hence the name). Petaya, Salac and Liechi are the most commonly used, as extra defense typically isn't very useful when health is that low. Though usually found on {{m|Endure|Enduring}}, {{m|Substitute|Substituting}} or {{m|Belly Drum}}ming Pokémon, {{p|Drifblim}} does well with [[Petaya Berry]] in combination with the {{a|Unburden}} ability. The {{b|Micle}} and {{b|Custap}} berries may also fall into this category.

===Pokes===
Short form for [[Pokémon]]. Used in many forums.

===Pseudo Passer===
A moveset with {{m|Wish}}, {{m|Safeguard}}, {{m|Light Screen}} and/or {{m|Reflect}} in it. Reflect and Light Screen are countered by {{m|Brick Break}}.

===Pseudo Hazer (PHazer)===
A moveset with either {{m|Whirlwind}} or {{m|Roar}}, which is intended to force a stat-boosted Pokémon out of the ring. A [[#Shuffler (Parashuffler/Pyroshuffler/Toxishuffler)|Shuffler]] can also be a PHazer. A moveset with a move like {{m|Yawn}}, {{m|Leech Seed}}, {{m|Perish Song}} or {{m|Charm}} can also be considered a PHazer. If the opponent decides not to switch out after being hit with one of these moves, he/she will have a hard time continuing the battle with their current Pokémon.

===Priority Move===
{{main|Priority}}
A move that allows the user to attack first despite having a lower Speed stat. There are different priority brackets.

===Rapid Spinner===
Also called Spinner. A user of the move {{m|Rapid Spin}}, which is used to remove [[entry hazard]]s. Common Rapid Spinners are {{p|Starmie}} and {{p|Tentacruel}}.

===Revenge Killer===
A Pokémon that can switch in after an opponent has knocked out another Pokémon and knock out that opponent. Revenge Killers are often equipped with [[#Priority Moves|Priority Moves]] or a [[Choice Scarf]]. For example, {{p|Weavile}} makes an effective revenge killer due to its high {{stat|Attack}} stat and access to {{m|Ice Shard}}.

===Sashed===
A Pokémon that is holding a [[Focus Sash]], usually a very frail one such as {{p|Dugtrio}} or {{p|Weavile}}, so it can survive a hit.

===Shuffler (Parashuffler/Pyroshuffler/Toxishuffler)===
A moveset with either {{m|Roar}} or {{m|Whirlwind}} and {{m|Toxic}} as well as {{m|Thunder Wave}} or {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}. Works by inflicting a status condition, then [[#Pseudo Hazer (PHazer)|PHazing]] and repeating. Often used in tandem with a [[#Spiker|Spiker]] for best results. Countered by a [[#Cleric|Cleric]], or simply by attacking each time they try to PHaze.

===Sleep Clause===
A rule whereby the use of a sleep inducing move is forbidden if a Pokémon on the opponent's team has already been put to sleep by one of the user's Pokémon. Sleep that is induced by moves such as by {{m|Rest}} or abilities like {{a|Effect Spore}} are exempted. [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] supports the Sleep Clause, and custom rule sets can choose to enforce it or not.

===Sleep Talker (Restalker/STalker)===
A moveset with {{m|Rest}} and {{m|Sleep Talk}}. It is used to maintain a Pokémon's (usually with good defenses) health with Rest, but allow it to attack in the meantime with Sleep Talk. It's not a perfect strategy, as there is the chance Sleep Talk will call Rest again, but it works often enough to see use. {{p|Milotic}} is an excellent example of a Sleep Talker due to {{a|Marvel Scale}}. Though Milotic also has Recover, the Sleep Talker set is sometimes used because of its ability, though generally, moves such as Recover are better.

===Spam===
Using the same move repeatedly.

===Species clause===
A rule whereby the use of more than one of the same Pokémon is forbidden. Pokémon that evolve from the same Pokémon but are not an evolution of each other are exempted. For example, the use of {{p|Gorebyss}} and {{p|Huntail}} is allowed, but the use of Gorebyss and Gorebyss or Clamperl and Clamperl in one team is not. If the Pokémon has many different formes that are very different from each other, such as {{p|Wormadam}} or {{p|Rotom}}, they are still limited by species clause as they share the same Pokédex number (and are thus still of the same Pokémon species). An official clause, the various Battle Towers and Console connectivity games enforce this.

===Spiker===
A moveset that includes the move {{m|Spikes}}. Since that is the only requirement, there are many variations to Spiker movesets. Effective ones utilize {{m|Roar}} or {{m|Whirlwind}}, {{m|Toxic Spikes}}, {{m|Stealth Rock}}, and/or {{m|Rapid Spin}}.

===Spinblocker===
A {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon that is used in order to stop the foe from using {{m|Rapid Spin}} (which doesn't affect Ghost-type Pokémon) to remove [[entry hazard]]s from its side of the field. Notable Spinblockers are {{p|Froslass}} and {{p|Giratina}}.

===Sponge===
''See [[#Wall|Wall]].''

===STAB===
{{main|Same-type attack bonus}}
Refers to the 1.5x multiplier a Pokémon gets when using an attack that matches its own type. If a Pokémon is a dual-type Pokémon, it gets a 1.5x multiplier for attacks of both of its types (for example, a {{p|Garchomp}} gets STAB for {{type2|Dragon}} as well as {{type2|Ground}} attacks). The ability {{a|Adaptability}} increases STAB's multiplier to 2x.

===Staller===
Much like the [[#Tank|Tank]], this moveset lives to build up passive damage (such as {{DL|Status ailment|Poison}}, {{DL|Status ailment|Burn}}, {{m|Leech Seed}}, and [[Weather|weather conditions]]) while stalling with {{m|Protect}}, recovery moves or (rarely) with {{m|Fly}}, {{m|Dive}} or {{m|Dig}}. {{m|Toxic}} is most commonly used due to its increasing amount of damage caused. Some counters include a [[#Cleric|Cleric]], the move {{m|Taunt}} and {{p|Clefable}} (due to the ability {{a|Magic Guard}}).

===Standard rules===
It refers to the rules used in [[Wi-Fi]] battles by most competitive battlers. The rules include: No [[tiers#Ubers|Ubers]], no [[cheating|hacks]], no [[One-hit knockout moves|OHKO moves]], [[#Sleep Clause|Sleep Clause]], [[#Evasion Clause|Evasion Clause]] and [[#Species Clause|Species Clause]].

===Sweeper===
A moveset designed with the object of quickly knocking out, or "sweeping," an opponent's team. Specializes in mostly direct attacks with stat-boosting moves also common. It is characterized by high Speed and offensive stats while often having poor defensive stats and HP. Comes in three variations - Physical, Special and Mixed. (Physical sweepers use physical moves, Special sweepers use special moves, and Mixed sweepers use both.) Mixed sweepers can also be used as [[#Wall|wall]] breakers which are mixed Sweepers whose attacks are specifically chosen to take down common walls, like {{m|Close Combat}} for {{p|Blissey}} or {{m|Fire Blast}} for {{p|Skarmory}}. Common counters are bulky Pokémon and [[priority]] moves.

===Tank===
A Pokémon that can take hits and still fight back. Often functions as a [[#Wall|Wall]] but different because while being hard to KO, it can still threaten the opponent offensively. Some common Tanks are {{p|Bronzong}} and {{p|Suicune}}.

===Trapper===
A set designed with the purpose of trapping a Pokémon for one reason or another. Moves such as {{m|Mean Look}} and {{m|Spider Web}} are standard trapping moves but moves such as {{m|Wrap}} and {{m|Fire Spin}} are also used sometimes. May be used in tandem with {{m|Toxic}} or {{m|Curse}} ({{t|Ghost}} version) to sap the opponent's health or {{m|Perish Song}} for a guaranteed knockout. Certain abilities, such as {{a|Shadow Tag}}, {{a|Magnet Pull}} and {{a|Arena Trap}}, trap automatically.

===Trickbander===
A moveset that employs {{m|Trick}} and the held item {{DL|In-battle effect item|Choice Band}} to incapacitate any opponent that doesn't use Physical attacks (most likely a [[#Tank|Tank]], [[#Annoyer|Annoyer]] or Special [[#Sweeper|Sweeper]]). Trick switches items with the opponent, so that they lose their valuable held item and get a restrictive one. In [[Generation IV]], with the introduction of {{DL|In-battle effect item|Choice Specs}} and {{DL|In-battle effect item|Choice Scarf}}, the more common item to switch onto the opponent is Choice Scarf because the receiver gains no offensive boost and the user makes use of the speed boost to Trick before the opponent makes their move.

===Trickbracer===
Similar to the [[#Trickbander|Trickbander]], a Trickbracer gives the opponent the {{DL|In-battle effect item|Macho Brace}} instead - an item that reduces Speed. It will stop most [[#Sweeper|Sweepers]] in their tracks due to the reduction of their Speed that is so crucial. In [[Generation IV]], the {{DL|In-battle effect item|Iron Ball}} and {{DL|In-battle effect item|Lagging Tail}} hold items exist almost solely to be used in this way, while the {{a|Klutz}} ability seems to exist so that the Pokémon using Trick doesn't have to suffer the effects of the item they are Tricking to the opponent.

===Type coverage===
Type coverage refers to combinations of attacks that are unresisted. Common combinations for coverage are "[[#BoltBeam|BoltBeam]]" (only resisted by a few Pokémon) which is {{m|Thunderbolt}} and {{m|Ice Beam}}, or any combination of {{type2|Electric}} and {{type2|Ice}} attacks. {{type2|Ghost}}, {{type2|Dark}}, {{type2|Dragon}} and {{type2|Fighting}} attacks have perfect coverage, due to the fact that Ghost- and Dragon-type moves together are all resisted by only Dark- and Steel-types (Dark-types resisting Ghost and Steel-types resisting both). Both of these types are defensively weak to Fighting-type moves, meaning at best, a dual-typed Steel or Dark Pokémon will be neutral to Fighting (at worst, 4x weak). Thus, all currently known Pokémon are at least neutral to these combinations.

===Untouched===
Often abbreviated as ''UT'', it refers to Pokémon that haven't gained any [[Experience]] since they were {{pkmn2|caught|captured}}, [[trade|received]], or {{pkmn|egg|hatched}}. It is commonly used among players who are trading specially {{pkmn|breeding|bred}} or [[Event Pokémon]].

===Wall===
A Pokémon with a very high defensive stat. Used to block attacks of that kind (for example, a Physical Wall would block Physical attacks).

==Specific sets==
Sets that are only seen on one to several Pokémon or are best known on a single Pokémon.
===Atmacune===
A {{p|Suicune}} moveset from [[Generation II]], which has {{m|Curse}}, {{m|Rest}}, {{m|Return}} and {{m|Roar}}. Not usable in [[Generation III]] or {{gen|IV}} because {{m|Curse}} is no longer available in Suicune's movelist due to losing [[TM]] status.

===Bellyzard===
A moveset created specifically for the {{p|Charizard}} evolution family. The moveset contains {{m|Belly Drum}}, {{m|Substitute}}, {{m|Fire Punch}} or {{m|Flare Blitz}} and any other move. The held item is usually a [[Salac Berry]]. Belly Drum followed by Substitute maximizes the attack stat and lowers HP enough to activate {{a|Blaze}} and the [[Salac Berry]] as long as Charizard's HP is divisible by 4. The power of Charizard's {{type2|Fire}} moves is increased, attack power is maximized and Speed is raised enough to possibly attack first. This results in an incredibly powerful physical {{type2|Fire}} attack.

===BoltBeam===
A combination of {{m|Thunderbolt}} and {{m|Ice Beam}} on the same set that is resisted only by {{p|Magnezone}}, {{a|Volt Absorb}} {{p|Lanturn}}, {{p|Shedinja}}, [[Form differences#Rotom|Frost and Heat]] {{p|Rotom}}, {{p|Seaking}} with {{a|Lightningrod}} and {{p|Mamoswine}} with {{a|Thick Fat}}. May also be used for any combination of {{t|Electric}}- and {{type2|Ice}} moves, such as {{m|Thunderbolt}} and HP Ice.

===Breloomurder===
Works with a {{p|Breloom}} that has {{m|Spore}}, {{m|Focus Punch}}, {{m|Substitute}}, and {{m|Facade}}, the {{a|Poison Heal}} ability, while holding a [[Toxic Orb]]. After using Spore, Breloom is free to repeatedly charge and use a [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] Focus Punch on the sleeping foe. Furthermore, due to the {{status|poison}} induced by the held Toxic Orb, Facade's attack power is drastically increased, and Breloom's ability heals it every turn. {{m|Seed Bomb}} is sometimes used instead of Substitute to allow the user to hit {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon.

===CalmCune===
A {{p|Suicune}} with {{m|Calm Mind}}. {{m|Rest}} is often also used. A very powerful and over-used Pokémon due to Suicune's two weaknesses being special types, and as a result its effectiveness has been reduced with [[Generation IV]]'s Attack/Special split. Some counters include a [[#Hazer|Hazer]] or [[#Pseudo Hazer (PHazer)|PHazer]], a strong Physical {{t|Electric}}- or {{type2|Grass}} attack and the move {{m|Encore}}.

===Celetran===
A combination of {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Heatran}} used in the same team, this works because Celebi covers all of Heatran's weaknesses and Heatran covers all of Celebi's weaknesses. Both of these Pokémon have mixed [[#Wall|Wall]] stats, they can take on both Physical and Special hits.

There are other combinations like this, such as {{p|Latias}} or {{p|Latios}} and a {{type2|Steel}} (a combination that resists every type in the game) though these combinations are not as well known.

===ChainChomp===
{{p|Garchomp}} that is designed as a Mixed [[#Sweeper|Sweeper]] with the moves {{m|Draco Meteor}} and {{m|Fire Blast}}. The intention of this Pokémon is catching the opponent off guard as they send in a standard Physical [[#Wall|Wall]] by taking advantage of most Physical Walls lacking a good {{stat|Special Defense}} stat. A variation of this set can also be used with {{p|Salamence}}.

===Crocune===
A {{p|Suicune}} with the moves {{m|Rest}}, {{m|Sleep Talk}}, {{m|Calm Mind}} and {{m|Surf}}. The ''Cro'' prefix is also used for other Pokémon that work in a similar way, like Crophy and Crotomb.

===Curselax===
A moveset that uses {{m|Curse}} and {{m|Rest}} on an already slow Pokémon to ignore the Speed drop. Although {{p|Snorlax}} is the most common user (hence the name), it can also appear on other Pokémon (provided they aren't of the {{type2|Ghost}}). Especially useful in a team using {{m|Trick Room}} as the Speed drops become Speed boosts instead.

===F.E.A.R.===
{{main|F.E.A.R}}
A last resort strategy involving a low-level Pokémon (such as {{p|Rattata}}) holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Focus Sash}} with the moves {{m|Endeavor}} and {{m|Quick Attack}}. It aims to catch the opponent off-guard when he or she sees the low-level Rattata and attacks. The Focus Sash will activate and Rattata will use Endeavor to attack, lowering the opponent's HP to 1. Then the Rattata will use Quick Attack to finish off the opponent. There are many variations of this set that can be used by any Pokémon with {{m|Endeavor}} and a priority move. For instance, it has been used by a {{p|Dodrio}} in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]].

===Flinchax===
A moveset with a paralysis-inducing move to negate speed, and a [[List of moves that cause flinching|flinch move]] such as {{m|Bite}}, {{m|Headbutt}}, {{m|Rock Slide}}, or {{m|Extrasensory}}, or a Pokémon holding a [[King's Rock]]. It relies on chance to repeatedly flinch the foe until it faints. As an added bonus, the paralysis will kick in 25% of the time, giving the foe only a 52% chance to use their attack. {{p|Dunsparce}} was the most feared flinchaxor in [[Generation III]], because its {{a|Serene Grace}} increases the flinch chance to 60% until the appearance of {{p|Togekiss}} in [[Generation IV]]. {{p|Jirachi}} can also do this with {{m|Zen Headbutt}} or {{m|Iron Head}}, Iron Head only available through a [[move tutor]].

===LeadApe===
An {{p|Infernape}} used as a lead. Commonly knowing the moves {{m|Fake Out}}, {{m|Stealth Rock}}, {{m|Fire Blast}}, and {{m|Close Combat}} and holding a [[Focus Sash]]. Infernape is a popular lead for its ability to set up an entry hazard while generally knocking out the opponent's lead and preventing them from setting up Stealth Rock or {{m|Spikes}}. This Infernape set is used with a [[Nature|Naive]] or [[Nature|Hasty]] nature to boost speed while allowing Fire Blast, a [[special move]], and Close Combat, a [[physical move]], to do maximum damage. Generally, all Infernape's [[effort values]] for this set are invested into Attack, Special Attack, and Speed.

===McIceGar===
A moveset for {{p|Gengar}} with many variations. Usually used to describe the Subpunching Gengar with {{m|Thunderbolt}} and {{m|Ice Punch}}, but moves such as {{m|Psychic}}, {{m|Shadow Ball}} and {{m|Sludge Bomb}} are sometimes included. As of [[Generation IV]], {{m|Ice Punch}} is no longer a reliable option for McIceGar since it has become Physical, and so it must use {{m|Hidden Power}} instead.

===MixApe===
A commonly used mixed sweeper moveset for {{p|Infernape}} that is extremely useful for wall-breaking, especially [[#Skarmbliss|Skarmbliss]]. The set consists of a combination of the moves {{m|Flamethrower}}/{{m|Fire Blast}}, {{m|Close Combat}}, {{m|Grass Knot}}, {{m|ThunderPunch}}, {{m|Hidden Power}} {{t|Ice}} and {{m|Nasty Plot}}. It usually holds the item Life Orb. Generally used with a Naive or Hasty [[nature]], and all [[effort values]] are invested into {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, and {{stat|Speed}}.

===Pseudo-legendary===
{{main|Pseudo-legendary}}
Any of the following Pokémon: {{p|Dragonite}}, {{p|Tyranitar}}, {{p|Salamence}}, {{p|Metagross}}, {{p|Garchomp}}, and {{p|Sazandora}}. These Pokémon have noticeably high [[stats]] and diverse movepools.

===MixMence===
A commonly used variant of {{p|Salamence}}. It is a [[#Sweeper|Sweeper]] that runs one of two movesets that utilize a mixture of strong physical and special attacks.

===PowerKing===
A risky but extremely powerful double-battle strategy requiring three Pokémon and several steps. On the first turn a {{p|Medicham}} with {{a|Pure Power}} and low defenses is sent out with a fast and moderately defensive Pokémon with {{m|Skill Swap}}. The Medicham will be knocked out, but not before Skill Swap is used on it. An [[Nature|Adamant]] {{p|Slaking}} with the moves {{m|Endure}}, {{m|Reversal}}, {{m|Flail}}, {{m|Shadow Claw}} and the item [[Salac Berry]] is sent out in replacement of the Medicham. The second turn is the riskiest turn, as the opponent must attack the Slaking. The Pokémon with Skill Swap must use it on the Slaking and the Slaking must use Endure. At this point, Flail will have a power of 200 with STAB, Reversal can be used against {{t|Steel}}- and {{type|Rock}} Pokémon, and Shadow Claw can be used to hit {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon. A less powerful but less risky version can be done with a {{p|Regigigas}}.

===RestoChesto===
A Pokémon that knows {{m|Rest}} holding a [[Chesto Berry]] in order to immediately wake up after healing. Usually seen on tanks and walls.

===RNG===
An abbreviation for Random Number Generator. Players often manipulate the RNG to gain increased chances of catching [[shiny Pokémon]] and getting Pokémon with better [[IV|IVs]]

===ScarfChomp===
A {{p|Garchomp}} holding the item [[Choice Scarf]], whose speed is multiplied by 1.5.

===Seeder===
Seeders are Pokémon that use {{m|Leech Seed}} to force switches, drain HP to heal themselves, or wear down defensive Pokémon. They are often used with {{m|Substitute}} known as Subseeders. Subseeders are often fast Pokémon that repeatedly use substitute while the opponent is afflicted with leech seed. The healing of leech seed allows them to gain back the health they lost from substitute while the opponent's health is slowly worn down. Examples of Subseeders are {{p|Elfuun}} and {{p|Sceptile}}.

===Skarmbliss===
A combination of {{p|Skarmory}} and {{p|Blissey}} used in the same team, which is designed to make use of Skarmory's high Defense stat and numerous resistances, as well as Blissey's high Special Defense stat and extraordinary HP stat. It is very difficult to beat if one is not prepared, so most teams carry a Skarmbliss counter. This combination does not work as well in 4th gen because of the physical/special split. in 3rd gen, Skarmory's weaknesses were special, so Blissey could cover those weaknesses well, and also, Blissey's weakness was physical so Skarmory took that well. Now with the physical/special split, it isn't as reliable.

===SpecsMence===
A {{p|Salamence}} holding [[Choice Specs]] (or {{DL|In-battle effect item|Wise Glasses}} in some cases), with the moves {{m|Draco Meteor}}, {{m|Fire Blast}} or {{m|Flamethrower}}, {{m|Hydro Pump}}, and {{m|Dragon Pulse}}.

===Suicide Spiker/Rocker===
A {{p|Forretress}} with the moveset consisting of {{m|Stealth Rock}}, {{m|Spikes}}, {{m|Toxic Spikes}} and {{m|Explosion}}. Set up all the traps then use explosion so the next Pokémon has to deal with the brunt of the attacks of the spikes taking up to 50% of their HP and being badly poisoned. Works well with a roarer to make all of the opponent's Pokémon suffer.

===Suicide Lead===
A moveset in which the user is equipped with a [[Focus Sash]]. The purpose of this moveset is to set up {{m|Stealth Rock}}, while anticipating an attack that could OHKO the user, but survives with the [[Focus Sash]]. This is a very common moveset for leading {{p|Azelf}} and {{p|Aerodactyl}}.

===Subpasser===
A moveset with {{m|Substitute}} and {{m|Baton Pass}}. Although any Pokémon that can learn Baton Pass can pass Substitutes, Pokémon with high HP are preferred so that the Substitute passed will also have a high HP. Subpassing is beneficial as it allows for a Pokémon to have a Substitute with a much higher HP than it could make itself. If such a Substitute is passed to a Wall or Tank, the opponent will have a hard time breaking the Substitute right away, allowing the target to reap the benefits of the Substitute, such as immunity to status effects. Subpasses can also pass defense boosts to make the Substitutes even harder to break, but then that only leaves them one move for attacking, making them very vulnerable to Taunt.

===Subpuncher===
A moveset with {{m|Substitute}} and {{m|Focus Punch}} to avoid the flinch chance from Focus Punch. Works best with slower Pokémon as the Substitute may end up being broken the turn it's made if the Subpuncher goes first. Slightly harder to use in Double Battles where the two Pokémon could gang up on the Subpuncher to break the Substitute and hit the Pokémon. Countered by Thick Club Marowak whose Bonemerang usually does enough damage to break the Substitute on the first hit, allowing the second hit to attack the Subpuncher directly. It's also is countered by Technician Ambipom who might break the Substitute on the first hit of Double Hit.

===Sunnybeamer===
A moveset with {{m|Sunny Day}} and {{m|SolarBeam}} to avoid the one turn charge up from SolarBeam. Often used on Pokémon with the {{a|Chlorophyll}} ability, {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon, or Pokémon with the moves {{m|Synthesis}}, {{m|Morning Sun}}, or {{m|Moonlight}}, for increased HP recovery

===TechniLoom===
{{p|Breloom}} with its hidden [[ability]], {{a|Technician}}, that knows {{m|Mach Punch}} and {{m|Bullet Seed}}.

===Thunderdancer===
A moveset with {{m|Rain Dance}} and {{m|Thunder}} to give Thunder 100% accuracy. Pokémon with the {{a|Volt Absorb}} or {{a|Water Absorb}} [[ability]] are preferred, due to their immunity to enemy {{m|Surf}}s and {{m|Thunder}}s.

===TyraniBoah===
A moveset specifically for {{p|Tyranitar}} (but also viable on others) with the '''Subpuncher''' combo and the '''Boltbeam''' (or in Tyranitar's case, BoltCrunch) combo. It is also an example of very advanced battling techniques on both sides, as it requires you to predict that your opponent will predict your next attack and switch to something resistant to it. An example of this would be if your opponent has a {{p|Salamence}} in play and expects you to use {{m|Ice Beam}} and thus switches to a {{p|Starmie}}. Predicting the switch, you actually select {{m|Thunderbolt}} or {{m|Crunch}} and beat the Starmie on the switch-in.

===Wondertomb/Wondereye===
A [[cheating|hacked]] {{p|Spiritomb}} or {{p|Sableye}} with the ability {{a|Wonder Guard}}. Since {{p|Spiritomb}} and {{p|Sableye}} have no weaknesses they cannot be damaged by normal attacks. However, they can be damaged by [[status ailment]]s, [[weather conditions]], [[entry hazard]]s, {{m|Fire Fang}}, {{m|Future Sight}}, {{m|Doom Desire}}, [[recoil]], [[Life Orb]], [[Sticky Barb]], [[Black Sludge]], {{a|Rough Skin}}, fixed-damage attacks, after the use of {{m|Gastro Acid}}, {{m|Foresight}}, {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, {{m|Skill Swap}}, {{m|Worry Seed}} or {{m|Waterlog}}, and by Pokémon with {{a|Mold Breaker}}, {{a|Turboblaze}}, {{a|Teravolt}} or {{a|Scrappy}}.

==Tier==
{{main|Tiers}}
A tier is a list of Pokémon in the metagame selected based on numerous traits, such as how the Pokémon's stats are distributed, its type and moves, and overall ability in battle. Go to smogon.com for a list of tiers and the pokemon in them.

==={{DL|Tiers|Uber}}===
A tier of the metagame, currently the highest there is. It is mostly consisted of legendaries, although not all of them are in the Uber tier. [[Ability|Abilities]] can also be Uber.

===[[Tiers#Over-Used|OU]]===
Over-Used. A tier of the metagame. It is the second highest tier, only surpassed by Uber.

===[[Tiers#Borderline|BL]]===
Borderline. A tier of the metagame. It is the third highest tier, in between OU and UU.

===[[Tiers#Under-Used|UU]]===
Under-Used. A tier of the metagame that is the second lowest, not counting NFE.

===[[Tiers#Never-Used|NU]]===
Never-Used. A tier of the metagame. It is currently the lowest tier to date, not counting NFE. This tier first appeared in Generation III.

===NFE===
Not an actual tier, but a term used to describe Pokémon that are not fully evolved, and thus should not be used competitively until they evolve. There are some NFEs that can viably be used competitively, namely:

* {{p|Pikachu}} with [[Light Ball]]
* {{p|Magneton}}
* {{p|Scyther}}
* {{p|Porygon2}}
* {{p|Vigoroth}}
* {{p|Trapinch}} with {{a|Arena Trap}}
* {{p|Clamperl}} with [[DeepSeaTooth]]

Some NFEs do exactly the same as their evolution. These may also be used competitively, but only in lower [[tier]]s than their evolution. For example, {{p|Chansey}} can be used in UU because its evolution {{p|Blissey}} is in OU, which makes it banned from UU. Another example of this is {{p|Munchlax}} in NU. There are some Pokémon that work in OU that are NFEs, such as Porygon2, because it fits in differently from its evolution, Porygon-Z. Several other NFE Pokémon became viable, even in OU, with the [[Miracle of Evolution]].

Z.Z. Flyer

2011-01-16T20:05:04Z

Pokemaniac72: /* In the anime */

[[File:Pokémon Napper anime.png|thumb|right|Pinchers on Z.Z. Flyers in the anime]]
'''Z.Z. Flyers''' are flying machines used by the [[Pokémon Pinchers]] in [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]]. They are the primary means of travel used by the Pinchers. Z.Z. Flyers are apparently waterproof as well, having been seen in use underwater. The leaders of the [[Pokémon Pinchers]] have differently colored Z.Z. Flyers rather than the usual metallic gray, with [[Red Eyes]] owning a red one and [[Blue Eyes]] owning a blue one.

Z.Z. Flyers are commonly referred to by in-game characters as {{wp|UFO}}s.

When a Z.Z. Flyer crashes into the ocean floor by [[Lapras Beach]], the {{player}} is sent to retrieve it to keep it from polluting the ocean. Once retrieved, it is entrusted to [[Nema]] so that she can research it. Later, she uses the parts to help repair the [[Wireless Tower]], and rebuilds it into her own "Nema Flyer".

==In the anime==
Z.Z. Flyers are shown in [[SS022]] and [[SS023]]. Like in the games, they are the Pinchers's primary means of transportation, using them to pursue {{p|Latios}} and to escape from {{ra|Ben}} at [[Rasp Cavern]]. The Pokémon Pinchers use these and even have competitions to show off the best flyers. They seem to be very quick, as fast as a Staraptor but slower than Latios. The Pinchers also use them to make a quick get away from the player after they lose. They are one person pods that levitate and have a sort of handle that the Pinchers use to hold the Z.Z. Flyer. They seem to support one person only and it is unknown if it could become a two person craft or if GameFreak will use them in the fourth Ranger game remodeled or used as a different form of transport. Z.Z. Flyers can be stored together in large quantities easily, as shown in Pokemon Ranger:Guardian Signs in the storage area that released the Staraptor's into the game.
The Z.Z. Flyers are also very versatile in that the Pinchers can go upside down, sideways, or even backwards in the Z.Z. Flyers. They are sturdy, but they can still break if they fall from extreme heights, as shown from the flyer that Nema fixes. The flyers seem to be very complex, considering that it took Nema more than 5 minutes to fix it. The Z.Z. Flyers are very fast, as they enabled the Pinchers to tire out Latios, which they may have caught if it hadn't been for the player in Pokémon Ranger:Guardian Signs. Users of the Z.Z. Flyers include Pinchers, Steelhead Pinchers, Purple Eyes, Red Eyes, Blue Eyes, and the Societea, who includes Kasa, Hocus, Arley, and Dr. Edward. Z.Z. Flyers are also waterproof as the Pinchers use them in underwater chase sections. Z.Z. Flyers are also a recent development as they are not in the past missions that are accessed through Celebi. Dr. Edward's Z.Z. Flyer has an extremely powerful control gauntlet attached to it that he used to awaken Zapdos. Z.Z. Flyers are very high tech machines.

==Trivia==
* According to two teams of Pinchers that specialize in flying Z.Z. Flyers, the Z.Z. Brothers and the Z.Z. Sisters, there is a contest for flying them which they both did very well in.

:''For other uses, see [[Pokémon World]].''
----
[[File:PokemonWorldAnime.png|thumb|240px|An orbital view of the Pokémon world, seen in the anime. Note its resemblance to Earth.]]
The '''Pokémon world''' is the main planet for the [[Pokémon]] [[Canon|franchise]], set in the [[Pokémon universe]]. It bears some striking similarities with the [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|real world]], certainly deriving inspiration from it, but many factors set it apart as a different place from our own world.

==History==
{{main|History of the Pokémon world}}

It is said in many [[Sinnoh myths|Sinnoh legends]] that the universe, Pokémon world included, was created by a single [[Pokémon]], {{p|Arceus}}. In a void of nothingness, a single {{pkmn|egg}} came into being, which then hatches into {{p|Arceus}}, the first Pokémon to be in existence. Arceus creates {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and possibly {{p|Giratina}} and gives Dialga and Palkia the abilities to control time and space. Giratina is banished into [[Distortion World|another dimension]] for its behavior. Then, during very early formation of the world, possibly sooner, Arceus creates {{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Uxie}}, and {{p|Mesprit}} to create willpower, knowledge, and emotion respectively, attributes that are in all modern [[Human|humans]] and Pokémon. They dive to the bottom of present-day [[Lake Valor]], [[Lake Acuity]], and [[Lake Verity]], respectively, dubbing the term "the lake guardians." Around this time, {{p|Mew}} came into being by itself, containing the DNA of every Pokémon to exist in the future.
[[Image:GenIII_Battle.jpg‎|left|thumb|220px|{{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}'s great battle]]
Long after, {{p|Groudon}} is formed deep inside the Earth, from magma, {{p|Kyogre}} is formed by the pressure in the deep sea trenches, and {{p|Rayquaza}} is formed by the minerals of the ozone layer. Rayquaza proceeds to fly around in the ozone layer, occasionally coming to rest at [[Sky Pillar]]. Groudon and Kyogre then proceed to create landmass and fill the sea, respectively. A chance meeting turns the two into rivals, and a conflict for dominance over the Pokémon World begins. This battle continues until Rayquaza quells it, causing Groudon and Kyogre to retreat to special caverns, where they rest. The Red and Blue Orbs are created to prevent the reawakening of Groudon and Kyogre, and are left at [[Mt. Pyre]] for safekeeping. At this time, Mew may have been plentiful and lived in large numbers. Landmasses such as [[Mt. Coronet]] are created, and {{p|Regigigas}} moves the continents, forming various [[region]]s. The [[Sinnoh]] region is created around Mt. Coronet. During this violent procedure, [[Stark Mountain]] is created and {{p|Heatran}} is formed in lava. Arceus creates the Adamant, Lustrous and Griseous Orbs before falling into a never-ending sleep.
[[Image:Unreleased_Unown.jpg|thumb|right|Ancient {{p|Unown}} seen in many different languages and ages]]
Many years after, the prehistoric era begins and the first prehistoric Pokémon come into being. Scientists have proven that prehistoric Pokémon roamed the land, as [[Fossil|fossils]] and other archaeological remains have been found to contain the DNA of Pokémon. It is possible that the Mew population may have decreased at this stage, as they slowly gave way to other Pokémon species. Evolution has come, separating humans from Pokémon, to create the first humans.

During the Stone, Ice, and Iron ages, the [[legendary golems]] are created, and used as keys to seal away {{p|Regigigas}} in [[Snowpoint Temple]]. {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}} and {{p|Registeel}} are hidden in the Hoenn region.
[[Image:Brass_Tower_HGSS2.png‎|[[Brass Tower]] after the fire, 150 years later.|thumb|left]]
1500 years before modern times, the earliest known system for writing is developed and used at the [[Ruins of Alph]], [[Tanoby Ruins]], and [[Solaceon Ruins]]. Archaeologists are currently unsure whether the nearly identical {{p|Unown}} preceded or succeeded the writing system, but it is assumed they share some sort of connection. At this point the {{p|Magikarp}} population mutated and became weaker.

In recent history, 700 years before modern times, [[Tin Tower]] and [[Brass Tower]] were constructed. These two nine-tier towers were built opposite each other in Ecruteak City. The towers were built to foster friendship and hope between Pokémon and people. The view from the top of the towers was said to be 'magnificent'. In the west was [[Brass Tower]], which was said to awaken Pokémon and in the east was Tin Tower, where Pokémon were said to rest. At the time, {{p|Lugia|an immense silver-colored Pokémon}}, was said to make its roost atop the [[Brass Tower]], while its counterpart, the glorious rainbow-colored {{p|Ho-Oh}} was said to rest at Tin Tower. However, around 150 years before the games, a lightning bolt struck the Brass Tower. It was engulfed in flames that raged for 3 days. Lugia and Ho-Oh escaped to the skies unharmed. A sudden downpour put an end to the blaze. At around this time, the first [[Pokémon League]] competitions started to take place. In the 1990s, the first Pokémon created by scientific engineering, {{p|Porygon}}, is created.
[[File:Dialga-Palkia-Giratina.jpg|thumb|right|230px|{{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}} and {{p|Giratina}} on [[Spear Pillar]].]]
In contemporary history, some years prior to the date, {{p|Mewtwo}} is cloned from {{p|Mew}}, and later escapes and destroys [[Cinnabar Island]]'s {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}}. Soon after, an erupting volcano on [[Cinnabar Island]] causes destruction of many areas on the island. Along with that, the leaders of Teams [[Team Aqua|Aqua]] and [[Team Magma|Magma]] reawaken {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} and they continue their great battle, only to get stopped again by {{p|Rayquaza}}. Groudon and Kyogre retreat to the region of [[Fiore]] to rest after their battle.

In modern history, the [[Sinnoh]] region has become unusually colder, due to the strange circumstances occurring across the region. The [[creation trio|legendary titans]] of Sinnoh are also awoken by a villainous team; [[Team Galactic]] use a [[Red Chain]] forged from the [[lake guardians]] to summon {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}} and {{p|Giratina}}. Their efforts are halted due to interference from the {{player}}. At this time, a rip in time-space has occurred, opening a portal to the [[Distortion World]]. Giratina escapes into its dimension along with [[Cyrus]], the [[Team Galactic]] leader. The entrance to the Distortion World closes returning the [[Sinnoh]] region back to normal. Some years after this, Team Plasma attempts to free Pokémon from human capture but for selfish reasons. They are stopped by the player in Black and White.

==Culture==
[[File:Ever Grande City Anime.png|thumb|left|The Ever Grande Conference]]
Culturally, the many depictions of the world all reflect a popular fascination with Pokémon and their interactions with humans, including {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} them, {{pkmn|training}} them, {{pkmn|battle|battling}} them, {{pkmn|breeding|raising}} them, keeping them as pets, studying them, and utilizing their varied skills. Several [[Sinnoh myths|myths]] discuss the relationship between humans and Pokémon as a very close one, and one folk tale even says that there was a time when humans and Pokémon were considered one and the same.

In a broad sense, Pokémon training is based on the answer to two questions: What should the relationship between a Pokémon Trainer and Pokémon be, and what is the best way to foster this relationship? Depending on their individual viewpoints regarding training, different Trainers follow different methods of training and focus on different areas. It is generally thought that there is no one right way to train, since many methods have valid reasons behind them and their own set of advantages and disadvantages.

However, in particular, many training methods will fall into one of two categories. The first category is methods which focus on the [[happiness]] and well-being of Pokémon and developing a bond of friendship. The second category is methods which focus on developing the strength and ability of a Pokémon and being able to control it masterfully. Trainers will often argue about which of these two views is best. In fact, this is a common theme in the [[canon]], frequently supporting the idea that friendship is the most important thing in a Trainer's relationship with Pokémon, and a good Trainer can bring out the strength of any Pokémon with their love and care.

The [[history of the Pokémon world]] is notably different from our own, and seems to be dictated primarily between the interactions between humans and Pokémon. There does not seem to be a major world religion, but some believe in the ancient myths based around [[Legendary Pokémon]], so it is plausible that the population believes in ''Pokémon'' as their religion. Backing this up, most people are generally kind and respect Pokémon. Shinto shrines and crosses have both been seen, however, as has a building that appears to be a Christian church. Also, Brock made reference to the story of Noah featured in the Old Testament of the Bible in ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]''.

However, there exist [[Villainous teams|many individuals]] that wish to harness Pokémon for their own nefarious deeds. Some of these people are simply do so for material gain while others hold misguided ideals to help the world. In addition, war is not unknown to the Pokémon world, [[Lt. Surge]] having fought in at least one. {{wp|Firearms}} and other weapons exist, but are not used as often as Pokémon are.

==Pokémon==
[[image:Pokemon breeder.png|thumb|right|210px|People and Pokémon working together, as seen in the TCG]]
Pokémon are living creatures that inhabit the Pokémon world, living alongside, and usually helping, humans. Pokémon have been seen within this world as being both supplements and replacements for animals and plants that exist within the real world. Most people respect Pokémon and treat them kindly, yet there exist people who take advantage of them and exploit their abilities for their own gain. Pokémon have feelings and can also understand the human language to some extent. Recreations of natural ecosystems are done with Pokémon. While some Pokémon have abilities that are normal or only slightly distorted from reality, many more Pokémon have abilities that are completely original and have no counterparts within the real world. Other Pokémon are based on [[Legendary Pokémon|legends that exist in our world]] such as {{p|Ho-Oh}} being based on a {{wp|phoenix}}.

===Evolution===
[[File:Unova starters evolution artwork.png|thumb|left|240px|The final evolutions of the starters of [[Unova]]]]
In a [[Sinnoh myths|Sinnoh myth]], it is said that Pokémon and people were originally the same species. Over time, some of these creatures split apart from from the rest and became humans. This theory has been explored many times throughout the Pokémon world, but not proven. {{p|Mew}} is said to be the ancestor of all life: it {{wp|evolution|evolved}} into the other Pokémon. The first human recording was during the Stone Age, millions of years before the modern era. Biological taxonomies of cellular and genetic structure have revealed that Pokémon are all actually a single species of life form and that the individual differences between each creature are actually subspecies. This can also explain why Pokémon can variously interbreed with each other. This explores the myth of evolution in the Pokémon world and makes a reference to evolution of animals and humans in the real world.

In modern times, Pokémon commonly undergo a process called [[evolution]]. During the course of a Pokémon's development, under certain circumstances specific to that Pokémon's subspecies, it may become a different Pokémon. This change is not merely physical, however, as Pokémon of a higher evolutionary stage have different and usually more powerful [[base stats]] than their predecessors, may have different [[move]]s that can be learned, and sometimes change their [[Elemental types|type]]s, though usually at least one of the types of the previous form is preserved. Most Pokémon will undergo this process.

Evolution in Pokémon, for most subspecies, is more akin to {{wp|metamorphosis}} than to actual evolution. The Pokémon whose evolution is closest to the real-world definition of evolution is {{p|Burmy}}, who takes on a different appearance depending on the environment.

===Reproduction===
{{main|Pokémon breeding}}
Nearly every Pokémon undergoes some form of reproduction. Fully developed, or Pokémon that passed their [[Baby Pokémon|baby form]] can breed with Pokémon of the same [[egg group]]. Pokémon that have no genders can only breed with {{p|Ditto}}; baby Pokémon and [[legendary Pokémon]] cannot breed at all, with the exception of {{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Phione}}. Like the majority of real animals, most Pokémon have genders which can sometimes be determined by markings and gender-differences. Usually, a trainer's Pokémon will breed in a [[Pokémon Daycare]]. It is unknown how a Pokémon reproduces, as no one has seen a Pokémon reproduce. Based on this, it is safe to assume that they only reproduce when left alone.
[[Image:SugimoriEggs.png|thumb|180px|Eggs of {{p|Togepi}} and {{p|Elekid}}]]
All Pokémon able to breed lay {{pkmn|egg}}s. Though, nobody has actually seen a Pokémon lay an egg, they apparently appear by the Pokémon. Pokémon usually lay one egg at a time, sometimes, in unusual occasions, lay various eggs at a time. Pokémon eggs are similar to birds' eggs, as they have a hard outer shell that protects the growing, undeveloped Pokémon inside. An egg's shell usually has a pattern reflecting the appearance of the Pokémon inside making each Pokémon egg unique from one another. Pokémon, like animals, are rather protective of their eggs. They sometimes nest them, but usually keep them close to themselves. The growing Pokémon incubates inside its egg until the time come for the Pokémon to hatch. The time it takes for a Pokémon to hatch varies from each Pokémon species and the type of egg. However, placing an egg into a PC will halt the incubation process.

Some Pokémon species have a [[Baby Pokémon|baby form]] when they hatch from their eggs. Once in their adult stages, these Pokémon are able to reproduce and continue the cycle of reproduction. Most baby Pokémon can only hatch as a baby Pokémon. However, there are some exceptions. Some Pokémon hatch into a more advanced form most of the time, but can also hatch into a baby form when [[incense|conditions]] are right.

===Pokémon as food===
It is stated in multiple Pokédex entries that some Pokémon are known to eat others, such as {{p|Pidgeot}} swooping down to catch a {{p|Magikarp}} meal from the water. Humans have also been implied to eat Pokémon, with the player's mother's {{isl|Cinnabar}} Volcano Burgers and [[Team Rocket]]'s plot to sell [[Valuable item#Slowpoketail|Slowpoketail]]s as a sweet treat in [[Generation II]] and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. {{p|Farfetch'd}} itself is based on a specific manner for preparing a meal of duck, with its rarity in the wild being a result of overhunting. Several of the [[Sinnoh myths]] also mention eating Pokémon, saying that they will be born again if their bones are picked clean and returned to where the Pokémon was found.

===Classification===
Pokémon have been enumerated in several different regions by their local [[Pokémon professor]]s, taking their primary example from [[Professor Oak]], the developer of the first [[Pokédex]]. While Oak's initial development only counted the 151 Pokémon [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|native to]] the [[Kanto]] region, by collaborating with the other professors to develop separate [[regional Pokédex|Pokédex listings]] for each region, the [[National Pokédex]], which counts all Pokémon known, currently catalogs 649 Pokémon.

Pokémon are also classified according to several different [[elemental types]], depending on their strengths, weaknesses, and the moves they learn. Each of these types has certain strengths and weaknesses against others, with a total of 17 types identified so far. Pokémon are known to have either one or two types.

==Geography and nature==
[[Image:RegionsMoviesMap.jpg|thumb|500px|A map of the [[Pokémon nation|nation]] in which the games and anime take place]]
The Pokémon world looks and acts like the real world in terms of geography. Each have landforms, oceans of water and temperatures to support life - meaning that the Pokémon world is about the same size and same distances from its sun as the real world. However, if the Pokémon world is ''not'' Earth, it must be similar, having a similar {{wp|moon}}, similar climates, and so on, which explains the similar tides. Many different theories exist as to exactly how the Pokémon world relates to our own.

Humans and nature in the Pokémon world are linked to each other, as many towns are built around the natural environment. A point of interest, unlike the real world, is that people's links with the nature are strong and they never try to affect the natural environment, with the exception of some [[villainous teams]]. Some Pokémon such as {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} can affect and shape nature causing unexplainable droughts, storms and earthquakes that can effect the continental plates.

===Structure===
[[File:KantoJohtoAreas.png|thumb|right|200px|In-game map from {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} showing the connection between Kanto and Johto]]
The Pokémon world is split into several regions, [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]] and [[Unova]] among them. These regions are large landforms much like continents in the real world, that support a large political [[region]]. Off these regions are islands that are not part of any region. These islands are grouped together to create one small region like the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] and the [[Sevii Islands]]. Though there are many similarities between them, there are some major differences between the regions, such as what Pokémon are located there and what legends there are waiting to be uncovered. Visitors from another region quickly realize that the region they are visiting is far from their home, both in the way of the climate, and in the culture of the people there. The regions are generally thought to be part of a larger country because of the term [[National Pokédex]], but they are all perhaps part of a {{wp|world nation}}. There are, as of Generation V, only five official regions, yet others such as [[Orre]] and [[Fiore]] have been introduced in other games. Several small kingdoms have been introduced in the {{pkmn|anime}} as well, most of which keep themselves secluded in remote or difficult to reach areas.

[[Image:Regions.png|thumb|left|175px|Regions in relation to {{wp|Japan}}]]
The geography of the regions is strikingly [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|similar]] to {{wp|Japan}}, but in a much larger scale, as seen in [[M05|the fifth movie]] (the only time when the entire planet is clearly shown). The {{wp|Kanto region|Kantō region}} of Japan is not only identical in name to [[Kanto]] in the Pokémon world, it is also very similar geographically; however, the western part of Kanto corresponds to eastern {{wp|Chubu region|Chūbu}}. In Japan, the Kanto region is often contrasted with {{wp|Kansai}}, which is like Johto, to the west. However, Johto is geographically more similar to the combined region of Kansai and western {{wp|Chubu}}. Hoenn is based on the southernmost parts of Japan - {{wp|Kyushu|Kyūshū}} and {{wp|Okinawa Prefecture|Okinawa}} - with the latter highly condensed. Sinnoh has been said to be an island like Hoenn, rather than a peninsula. It is based on the northernmost major island of Japan, {{wp|Hokkaido}}, part of {{wp|Sakhalin}} and {{wp|Kunashir Island}}. Regardless, the {{pkmn|games}} have referenced real places on Earth, such as {{wp|South America}}, {{wp|Australia}}, {{wp|China}}, {{wp|Antarctic}}, the {{wp|United States}}, and the {{wp|Pacific Ocean}}, while the anime (and related products) have referenced places such as {{wp|Hollywood, California}}, {{wp|Minnesota}}, {{wp|England}}, and {{wp|Paris, France}}.

===Climate===
[[File:Diamond Dust Platinum.gif|thumb|{{DL|Snowpoint City|Diamond dust}} twinkles in [[Snowpoint City]].]]
[[Image:BW Prerelease seasons autumn.png|thumb|left|[[Season|Autumn]] in the Unova region.]]
Most regions have different climates. Regions and islands like the [[Hoenn]] and the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] further south in the Pokémon world have a warmer climate than northerly regions, possibly due to an {{wp|equator}}, much like on Earth. It gets so hot in Hoenn that there is a desert with a raging sandstorm. Meanwhile, the [[Sinnoh]] region is cooler than other regions, and becoming colder due to climate change in the region. It is snowing constantly in the northern area of the region. Some Pokémon such as {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Rayquaza}} can affect climate and weather.

Weather conditions still apply in the Pokémon world, and as clouds and [[Weather conditions#Heavy rain|rain]] exist, so must the {{wp|water cycle}}. Many weather conditions that appear on Earth are also in the Pokémon world, such as [[Weather conditions#Heavy rain|rain]], [[Weather conditions#Hailstorm|hailstorms]], [[Weather conditions#On the field#Snow/Hail|snow]], [[Weather conditions#Fog|fog]] and [[Weather conditions#Sandstorm|sandstorms]]. Given that plants and trees seem to grow in a normal manner, it can be reasonably assumed that the other major cycles, such as the {{wp|carbon cycle}} and the {{wp|nitrogen cycle}}, exist as well.

===Environment===
The natural environment in the Pokémon world is much similar to the real Earth's environment. Areas with a high density of trees make up forests, landscapes that receive very little precipitation create deserts, while loose broken-up particles of rock make large coastal beaches attracting people and Pokémon alike. The [[Hoenn]] and the [[Sinnoh]] regions boast many dramatic environments ranging from rainforests to deserts.

[[File:Montecorona13jun08.gif‎|thumb|left|180px|[[Mt. Coronet]], the tallest mountain in the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]], with the entrance to the [[Distortion World]] seen above]]
The Pokémon world is mainly green and lush, based on factors such as plant structures including trees, shrubs, and grasses. Grass is usually uncontrolled and makes [[tall grass|tall grass patches]] that form prime habitats for [[wild Pokémon]]. There is a [[Sinnoh Myth]] that explains why Pokémon appear when people walk into the [[tall grass]]: When Sinnoh had just been created, a Pokémon proposed that they should always be ready to help the humans. There are also large mountainous areas that tower above low lying land areas. The largest mountain range is [[Mt. Coronet]], which stretches from the top to the bottom of Sinnoh, splitting the whole region in two. Man-made and natural occurrences form [[caves]] in the mountainsides that are able to be explored or passed through to get to other cities. Many natural phenomenons appear in the Pokémon world such as snowing ash that covers the area is caused by the nearby volcano that smokes and rains down on the area.

Humans and nature in the Pokémon world are linked to each other, as many towns are built around its environment and they never try to affect the natural environment. [[Pacifidlog Town]], for example, is built on wooden rafts and logs that float on top of a {{p|Corsola}} colony, while [[Sootopolis City]] is built in the crater of a hollowed, erupted volcano. An ecosystem is formed when all plants, Pokémon, and people in an area function together with all of the non-living physical factors of the environment. It is said that Pokémon are more in tune with nature than humans.
{{left clear}}

==Physics and technology==
[[Image:Gold4.png|thumb|right|150px|A Time Capsule, used to teleport Pokémon back in time]]
Science and technology in the Pokémon world is more advanced than the real world. Technological advances have evolved the Pokémon world, scientists have created ways to [[Pokémon storage system|store Pokémon on computers]], [[Global Terminal|send Pokémon around the world]], [[Time Capsule|send Pokémon back in time]] and [[fossil|clone fossils to create prehistoric Pokémon]], yet people's lives in the games are simple and very natural. Scientific achievements such as {{wp|cloning}} and [[Poké Ball|energy conversion]] mingle with magical elements such as spontaneous [[evolution]] and [[Time flower|flowers]] that can replay a short time sequence, giving one the sense that the Pokémon world is very different from our own. The state of technology conceivably places the timeframe we see in either the present day, or perhaps in the future, but this is merely speculative. Scientists at the [[Devon Corporation]] and other companies are still working on more advanced and slightly impossible inventions like a Pokémon Dream Projector that makes a visual projection of Pokémon dreams, Pokémon Speaker that allows communication with Pokémon, and a Pokémon Transformator that turns people into Pokémon (which Bill accidentally did when testing his teleporter). {{wp|Antigravity}} machines exist alongside basic means of travel such as [[bicycle]]s and trucks.

One of the most advanced and commonly used technology used in the Pokémon World is the [[Poké Ball]] which transforms a Pokémon into energy so it can be contained in the small ball. In a {{pkmn|battle}}, once the opposing [[wild Pokémon]] has been weakened, the {{pkmn|Trainer}} will throw a Poké Ball at it. Assuming the Poké Ball hits it and is not dodged or hit back to the Trainer, the Poké Ball will open, convert the wild Pokémon to an energy form, pull the energy into its hollow center, and then close. The wild Pokémon will then be given the chance to struggle to try and escape the Poké Ball. Poké Balls originated from [[apricorn]]s, which is a non-synthetic Poké Ball. Old apricorn Poké Balls were able to be unscrewed at the disproportionate top and manually be released, to let the Pokémon out. There are now several different kinds of Poké Balls, each for different occasions, including the infamous Master Ball which is able to capture a wild Pokémon without failure.

[[Image:Open PokeBall.gif|frame|left|A Poké Ball, the most common technology used in Pokémon]]
Despite the amount of advanced technology available, comparatively few [[Transportation in Pokémon|modes of transportation]] are seen. This may be because the world is often shown through the eyes of a [[Pokémon Trainer]], who usually travel on foot for a variety of practical reasons such as cost and finding [[wild Pokémon]]. Or maybe some transportation such as cars and trucks are harmful to the natural environment and Pokémon by the poisonous pollution from the vehicles. The most common transportation used to get to other regions or islands is by sailing by boat or ship, as it is a quick and easy way to get to other lands, while most regions have their own ferry. People can also use Pokémon for transportation by {{m|fly}}ing or {{m|Surf|swimming}}.

In the anime, the physics of the Pokémon world are sometimes stretched to [[anime physics|unrealistic degrees]]. Some common examples are unusual feats of strength and agility, surviving lethal attacks, and {{wp|hammerspace}}.

==Trivia==
* The existence of foreign Pokédex entries, different {{p|Unown}} markings, and characters like the [[Meister]], [[Fantina]], and [[Looker]] point to the fact that there are other languages in the Pokémon world (although it is unknown what other language(s) Looker speaks, his speech patterns indicate that he is not a native speaker of the language used by people from the [[Pokémon nation]]).
* Regular animals have been seen in some of the older media while regular plants like apple trees or pine trees are still seen often or even daily. There is a possibility that both animals and Pokémon exist within this world in a complicated ecosystem; often real animals are referenced in a Pokédex entry, especially if the Pokémon being referred to is based on an animal. Humans and plants exist, helping this theory.

== Structure of a page ("Pokémon ... Version") ==
=== Top ===
:When focusing on a pair of older versions that have since been remade, the page should link to the target pair, the remake pair, and the appendix page for the remake pair's walkthrough.

<center> This is the Bulbapedia walkthrough for [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]]. This walkthrough follows the original [[Game Boy]] version, not {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. The guide for those can be found [[FrLg walkthrough section 01|here]].</center>

-----

=== Headlines ===
:Each route or city should be included in a level-2 headline.
::<code> == Pallet Town == </code>

 
:Also, any important locations found within a route should be included in a level-3 headline within that route's section.
::<code> == Route 120 == </code>
::<code> === Ancient Tomb === </code>

=== Images ===
:There should be map image posted for every new location visited by the player. The image can be placed on either the left or right side of the page near that area's level-2 headline, and should use the "thumb" option to show a thumbnail of the larger image.
::<nowiki> == Route 20 == </nowiki>
::<nowiki> [[Image:Route 20.png|thumb|right|Route 20]] </nowiki>

 
:If the image needs to be shrunk/expanded to fit the page, then include ###px.
::<nowiki> [[Image:Route 20.png|thumb|right|</nowiki>{{color|{{red color}}|150px}}<nowiki>|Route 20]] </nowiki>

:The Trainer battle information should be included wherever a Trainer battle can take place, and should be placed on the left side of the page.

=== Pokémon ===
:Every location where the player can obtain a Pokémon, wild or gift, should include the following details for each:
::* name
::* encounter rate
::* level(s)
::* area details, such as Grass, Cave, Fishing, Surfing, etc.
:This information, taken from the specific location's page, should be placed on the collapsible background, colored according to the version(s).

==== When time of day is not used ====

[[File:Entei_book.png|thumb|right|370px|An artist's interpretation of {{p|Entei}}, a legendary Pokémon]]
'''Legendary Pokémon''' are a group of incredibly rare, and often very powerful {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

While in English, all are typically grouped under the banner of "legendary", there are three distinct terms in Japanese that are used to refer to them. One, '''伝説のポケモン''' ''densetsu no Pokémon'', literally "legendary Pokémon", refers to Pokémon such as {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}}, who are featured prominently in the legends of the Pokémon world. A second, '''幻のポケモン''' ''maboroshi no Pokémon'', literally "illusory Pokémon", refers to Pokémon seen so rarely, such as {{p|Mew}}, that some question their very existence. This term was translated in the [[Generation IV]] games as "mirage Pokémon", in reference to the various [[Sinnoh myths|myths of Sinnoh]], and many consider it to refer to Pokémon that are restricted to [[Nintendo event]]s, not available during the course of normal gameplay. The third and newest term is '''神話のポケモン''' ''shinwa no Pokémon'', literally "mythical Pokémon", which refers to the Pokémon which are spoken of as the creators of the Sinnoh region.

==Characteristics of legendary Pokémon==

===Statistical averages{{tt|*|Considering Alternate Formes as seperate Pokémon}}===
{{BaseStatNoCat|
HP=92.89 |
Attack=86.11 |
Defense=85.28 |
SpAtk=124.45 |
SpDef=90.65 |
Speed=99.72 }}

Aside from the high [[stats]] shared by most legendary Pokémon, many of them are only available once to the {{player}} in a given save file, and to obtain another legitimately, one must [[trade]] with another game. The [[gender]] of most legendary Pokémon is unknown (though there are seven notable exceptions in {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Cresselia}}, {{p|Tornelos}}, {{p|Voltolos}}, and {{p|Landlos}}), and all but {{p|Phione}} and {{p|Manaphy}} are unable to breed in captivity, even with {{p|Ditto}}.

No legendary Pokémon is known to [[evolution|evolve]], though many are part of a [[legendary trio]] or [[legendary duo]]. Much like [[starter Pokémon]] appear at the beginning of each [[regional Pokédex]] and their generation's portion of the [[National Pokédex]], legendary Pokémon typically appear at the very end of them.

===In the anime===
Legendary Pokémon typically make their anime debut in a {{pkmn|movie}}, rather than first appearing in a normal episode. Many are held in a much higher regard than in the games, with their powers seen as being almost {{wp|deity|godlike}}. They are often only seen by special {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, usually the anime's main protagonist, [[Ash Ketchum]], who have a special connection to them. [[Villainous teams]] and others with bad intentions often seek them out, both due to their rarity as well as their superior power.

It has been shown that the capture of certain legendary Pokémon may lead to great catastrophe, due to their often pivotal role in nature. Some speculate, however, that if a Trainer were to "play by the rules", encountering and befriending the legendary Pokémon just the same as they would any other Pokémon, the results would not be as chaotic, if at all. This theory possibly has some weight, as {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}} befriended and fought official {{pkmn|battle}}s with an {{TP|Noland|Articuno}}, while [[Lawrence III]]'s capture of {{mov|Legendary birds|Zapdos|2}} and {{mov|Legendary birds|Moltres|2}} in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' was one of intended dominance and collection instead. It should be noted, however, that Noland was never seen to have had Articuno in a Poké Ball, and at the same time, he is a rather skilled Trainer. It should also be noted that in some cases a legendary Pokémon can be kept in a Poké Ball. For example, {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}} in the anime owned the three Regis in Poké Balls and trained them and there were no chaotic events that followed. [[Tobias]] is another Trainer who has been shown to have legendary Pokémon in Poké Balls.

Many legendary Pokémon are shown to breed in the wild, as seen with {{p|Lugia}}, while none are immortal nor invincible, as seen by the death of {{mov|Celebi|Celebi|4}} and the injury of {{an|Arceus}}. Very few, in fact, are often considered unique, with only {{an|Mewtwo}} known to be (due to the [[The Birth of Mewtwo|circumstances of its creation]]) and {{an|Arceus}}, {{an|Dialga}}, {{an|Palkia}}, and {{an|Giratina}} assumed to be, due to their role in the creation of the universe.

==List of legendary Pokémon==
Of the {{numpkmn}} Pokémon species, 48 are considered to be legendary, while several more have certain characteristics of legendary Pokémon. Each [[generation]] has introduced at least one legendary trio and one legendary duo.

===Generation I===
The legendary Pokémon introduced in [[Generation I]] can be broken into two groups: the [[legendary birds]] and the Mew duo.

====Legendary birds====
[[File:Legendary birds.png|thumb|right|270px|{{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Articuno}}, and {{p|Moltres}}. Art by [[Mitsuhiro Arita]].]]
The three [[legendary birds]], also known as the Winged Mirages, are the resident [[legendary trio]] of the [[Kanto]] region. Each of them is based on a mythical bird, and each is associated with a {{wp|season}} (though none of the three is associated with autumn).

In the games, all three are available in the Kanto region in all of its appearances except for [[Generation II]]. {{p|Articuno}} takes up residence in the [[Seafoam Islands]] in the south, {{p|Zapdos}} in the [[Power Plant]] (next to it in Generation IV) in the east, and {{p|Moltres}} in a variety of places, {{ka|Victory Road}}, [[Mt. Ember]], or [[Mt. Silver]], depending on the generation. In Generation IV, they are also found [[roaming Pokémon|roaming]] [[Sinnoh]], but only in {{game|Platinum}}.

In the anime, the legendary birds appear together in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', where they rule over the islands surrounding [[Shamouti Island]]. If they are disturbed and begin to fight, only {{mov|Lugia|Lugia|2}} can stop them, though it will fail without additional help from the Chosen One. Separately, Articuno appears in ''[[EP189|Freeze Frame]]'', ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]'', and ''[[AG136|The Symbol Life]]'', while Zapdos appears in ''[[EP242|As Clear As Crystal]]'', ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', and ''[[DP094|Doc Brock!]]'', and Moltres appears in ''[[EP074|All Fired Up]]'' and ''[[SS018|The Search for the Legend]]''.

====Mew duo====
[[Image:Mewtwo and Mew.png|thumb|250px|left|{{p|Mewtwo}} and {{p|Mew}} in [[M01|the first movie]].]]
The Mew duo, so named because of their similar genetic structure and Mewtwo's origin as an enhanced clone of Mew, are a pair of catlike Pokémon which are believed by many to be among the most rare and powerful Pokémon that exist.

In the games, {{p|Mew}} is only mentioned in years-old journals found in the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} on [[Cinnabar Island]]. It was the first [[event]]-exclusive Pokémon, being otherwise available only by [[Mew glitch|glitching the game]] or [[cheating]]. One is available in the wild on [[Faraway Island]], an event area in {{game|Emerald}}, the only time it is legitimately able to be caught from the wild.

Mew appears in the anime in both [[M01|the first movie]] and [[M08|the eighth movie]]. In the first, it appears to fight against Mewtwo, while in the second, its status as the Pokémon from which life began is explored.

In the games, {{p|Mewtwo}} is revealed to have been cloned from Mew in the journals in the Pokémon Mansion. Unlike most Pokémon, however, Mew gave live birth to Mewtwo, rather than laying an {{pkmn|egg}} and Mewtwo hatching from it. Mewtwo was too powerful, however, and it escapes from the Pokémon Mansion, destroying it in the process. Mewtwo then makes its home in [[Cerulean Cave]], where all kinds of powerful Pokémon live.

In the anime, {{an|Mewtwo}} was featured prominently, appearing in several episodes of the [[original series]], [[M01|the first movie]], and [[Mewtwo Returns|the first special episode]]. Mewtwo's origin is slightly different as well, with [[Team Rocket]] boss [[Giovanni]] funding a group of scientists to create an enhanced clone of {{p|Mew}} for his own use. Though Mewtwo is initially a very angry Pokémon, viewing all humans as evil due to the acts of the scientists and Giovanni, eventually, when [[Ash Ketchum]] sacrifices himself to stop the fighting between Mew and Mewtwo, Mewtwo's heart softens, and he learns that some humans do care about their, and all, Pokémon. Meeting up with Ash again, Mewtwo is further shown that, although it is a genetically-enhanced clone of Mew, it and the other clones are no different than normal Pokémon, and because it erased Ash and his friends' memory at the end of their first meeting, realizes that Ash himself truly does care for others, even if he doesn't know them.

Mewtwo is known in the anime to travel around the world, traversing rooftops at night, and living its life free. It occasionally appears in anime openings, sometimes with Mew, and sometimes alone.

===Generation II===
More legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation II]], adding six more for a running total of 11. The legendary Pokémon introduced in this generation down can be separated into three groups.

====Legendary beasts====
[[File:Entei Raikou Suicune.png|thumb|right|250px|{{ga|Lyra}} and [[Eusine]] discover the legendary beasts in the basement of the [[Burned Tower]].]]
Like the legendary birds of the previous generation, a second trio of similar types was introduced in the neighboring [[Johto]] region. These [[legendary beasts]], so named because their features are reminiscent of both {{wp|canine}} and {{wp|feline}} animals, were trapped in the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]] when it was struck by lightning and burned to the ground, resulting in their death. The trio was revived by the power of {{p|Ho-Oh}}, and now [[roaming Pokémon|roam across the land]] because of their great power.

In the games, more than one of each exists, with only the trio that roams Johto after being discovered in Brass Tower's basement during [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] being that of the legend. Each was captured and changed into a [[Shadow Pokémon]] by [[Cipher]] in {{g|Colosseum}}, while one of the three, depending on the player's [[starter Pokémon]] choice, roams Kanto in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, {{p|Entei}} for {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Raikou}} for {{p|Squirtle}}, and {{p|Suicune}} for {{p|Charmander}}.

In the anime, the legendary beasts did not appear together until [[M13|the thirteenth movie]], despite being introduced in Generation II. It appears that an initial plan for the three Johto-era {{pkmn|movie}}s was to have each feature one of the legendary beasts in a central role, with {{mov|Entei|Entei|3}} taking a central role in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]'' and {{mov|Suicune|Suicune|4}} taking the stage in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''. This did not pan out, however, possibly due to the canning of Johto's {{p|Celebi}} plotline, and Raikou was relegated to a role in ''[[The Legend of Thunder]]'', featuring anime characters based on {{ga|Ethan}} and {{ga|Kris}}, rather than [[M05|the fifth movie]], which focused on legendary Pokémon from the then-upcoming [[Generation III]] instead.

Each of the beasts made an episodic appearance, as well, with Entei appearing in ''[[EP259|Entei at Your Own Risk]]'', Raikou briefly appearing in ''[[EP180|Houndoom's Special Delivery]]'', and Suicune having the most prominence (as in the games) through its appearance in ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'Dile]]'', ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll]]'', and ''[[DP028|Drifloon On the Wind!]]''. The crown beasts from movie 13 take a central role in obtaining Zoroark in Pokemon Black and White.

====Tower duo====
[[Image:Lugia_and_ho-oh.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Lugia and Ho-Oh]]
The first [[version mascot]]s that were also legendary Pokémon, {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} are a pair of legendary birds which formerly resided in [[Ecruteak City]] atop tall towers, leading to their designation. However, when the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]], home of Lugia, was struck by lightning, it burned to the ground, and both flew away, Lugia to make its new home in the [[Whirl Islands]] and Ho-Oh to search the world for a pure-hearted Trainer. The two are thought to be as closely related as they are polar opposites, being based on the eastern legends of the {{wp|Fènghuáng}} and {{wp|Ryūjin}}.

In the games, Lugia does not play a central role in the Generation II storyline, instead being mentioned only as having lived in Ecruteak City before the Brass Tower burned. It is found in the Whirl Islands in the Generation II games and their {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|remakes}} if the player holds a {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Silver Wing}}. It reaches prominence in the storyline of {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, where [[XD001|one]] is corrupted by [[Cipher]] to become the ultimate [[Shadow Pokémon]], unable to be purified. It is also available on [[Navel Rock]] in Generation III, as an event-exclusive legendary Pokémon.

In the anime, Lugia is featured in a central role in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', where it is revealed that {{Ash}} is the Chosen One who must help it to quell the fighting of the [[legendary birds]]. Another pair of them appeared when Ash and his friends traveled to the Whirl Islands in Johto, and through this, the anime revealed that legendary Pokémon could breed (this is untrue in the games, at least in captivity, likely to restrict players from getting a limitless number of them).

Ho-Oh has a much greater focus during Generation II, being named as the savior of the legendary beasts. It can be found, if the player has a {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Rainbow Wing}}, atop [[Bell Tower]] in the Generation II games and their remakes. It makes an appearance in {{g|Colosseum}}, as well, as a reward for purifying all Shadow Pokémon, and on [[Navel Rock]] like Lugia.

In the anime, {{an|Ho-Oh}} is notably the first legendary Pokémon that appeared (outside of the [[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master|opening animation]], at least), flying over a rainbow at the start of [[Ash Ketchum]]'s journey at the end of ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''. Ash has subsequently seen it several times over the course of his journey, but has never come face-to-face with it.

====Celebi====
[[Image:Celebi_Shrine.png|thumb|right|100px|Celebi on its shrine in [[Ilex Forest]]]]
Although it has no relation to Mew that has been revealed, {{p|Celebi}} was dubbed the "New Mew" when it was introduced in Generation II because of their similar size and stats, as well as the status of being the last in the [[National Pokédex]] as of its generation and being unobtainable through normal gameplay. Unlike Mew, however, it was not believed to be the ancestor of all Pokémon, but merely the guardian of forests, traveling through time to make sure of their purity.

In the games, Celebi is available only by event, either directly (via [[trading]] or [[Mystery Gift]]), or, in {{game|Crystal}}, through an event involving the [[GS Ball]]. This made it the first event Pokémon that was able to be captured from the wild in the games after using an event-only item, something which would continue forward even to the current generation. Celebi also makes an appearance in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, but it is unobtainable.

In the anime, Celebi takes a central role in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'' and ''[[AG155|The Green Guardian]]''. In the movie, one accidentally brings a young [[Professor Oak]] to the future when attempting to escape from a poacher, and is later captured in a [[Iron-Masked Marauder|Team Rocket member]]'s Dark Balls to be used to destroy the forest and rule the world. In the episode, another is attempting to heal after putting out a forest fire, and needs the help of Pokémon Ranger [[Solana]], as well as the anime's protagonists, to do so. A pokemon movie 10 event celebi is the only way to obtain zorua in pokemon black and white.

===Generation III===
Many more legendary Pokémon were added to the roster in [[Generation III]], with the ten new legendary Pokémon bringing the total to 21. At this point in the series, legendary Pokémon began to have a greater role in the storyline of the games, with the plot of the [[villainous teams]] introduced in this generation and the next involving the reawakening of ancient legendary Pokémon for the team's own use.

====Legendary golems====
[[Image:Regis.png|thumb|left|{{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, and {{p|Regirock}}]]
This third trio of legendary Pokémon, based on the {{wp|golem}}s of Hebrew legend, featured minimally in Hoenn-region legend. Based on the three ancient ages of humanity, the ice age, the stone age, and the iron age, the [[legendary golems]] took a back seat among the legendary Pokémon introduced in their generation, and are sometimes referred to by fans derisively as the "legendary trash cans". Truly, this legendary trio, as well as its [[trio master|master]], {{p|Regigigas}}, feature the most complicated method of in-game availability, with puzzles made of [[braille]] in the Hoenn region being the keys to unlocking their mystery.

As complex as the method in which they are obtained is the legend of the golems, which is told in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and finally completed in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. Long ago, an ancient Pokémon was said to have moved the continents into their present positions by pulling them with ropes. After it was finished, it created in its image three Pokémon: {{p|Regirock}}, from clay, {{p|Regice}}, from ice, and {{p|Registeel}}, from magma. Ancient people, seeing that the Pokémon was so powerful, sealed it away in [[Snowpoint Temple]], while those it had created were separated from it and taken to the Hoenn region, sealed in three chambers, and left in the hopes that one day, someone would unlock the chambers and be able to tame the three so as to tame Regigigas. They are available in the [[Desert Ruins]], [[Island Cave]], and [[Ancient Tomb]] in Hoenn, as well as the [[Rock Peak Ruins]], [[Iceberg Ruins]], and [[Iron Ruins]] in [[Sinnoh]] with an event {{p|Regigigas}}.

In the anime, the three legendary golems starred together guarding the [[Tree of Beginning]] in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', as well as members of {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s team in the Battle Frontier saga.

====Eon duo====
[[File:Latias Latios.png|thumb|220px|right|{{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}}]]
Another of Hoenn's minor legendary Pokémon, {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} do not feature a distinct legend behind them. Nonetheless, they are incredibly rare, with only one of the two available normally to players, and the other available through an event.

Latios and Latias take on counterpart availability in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} as well as {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, with Latios being a [[roaming Pokémon]] in Ruby and SoulSilver, and Latias doing the same in Sapphire and HeartGold. In Emerald, after the player has defeated the Elite Four, their mother will ask if the Pokémon mentioned on TV was red or blue, and depending on that, one of the two will be roaming Hoenn. The other member of the duo will be found on [[Southern Island]], accessible by [[Eon Ticket]], in Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, and in [[Pewter City]], through the [[Enigma Stone]] event, in HeartGold and SoulSilver.

In the anime, Latios and Latias were the stars of ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]'', where the two guarded the legendary city of [[Alto Mare]]. With a strong connection to the [[Soul Dew]], the two were responsible for protecting it from {{mov|Annie}} and [[Oakley]], who wished to steal it.

====Weather trio====
[[Image:GenIII_Battle.jpg|250px|thumb|right|A depiction of the cataclysmic battle between {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}}]]
The trio of super-ancient Pokémon, known for their [[weather conditions|weather-related]] [[abilities]] as the [[weather trio]], serve as the [[version mascot]]s of {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and represent the three major components of the Earth: the hydrosphere, the lithosphere, and the atmosphere. Said to shape the land and sea, respectively, {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} are among the most powerful legendary Pokémon, while {{p|Rayquaza}} prevents the two from quarreling.

During the course of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, [[Team Magma]] or [[Team Aqua]], depending on version, seek out Groudon or Kyogre, respectively, with the intention of awakening them to make more homes for Pokémon of the land or sea. Eventually, the plan goes awry, and the player is forced to defeat or capture the legendary Pokémon to stop a global disaster. In {{game|Emerald}}, instead, both teams are on the loose, intending to awaken their respective legendary Pokémon, and only with interference by the player and {{p|Rayquaza}} does the fight end up resolved.

In the anime, Groudon and Kyogre appeared in the two-part episode consisting of ''[[AG096|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG097|The Scuffle of Legends]]''. In these episodes, Team Magma and Team Aqua finally succeed in awakening the two, as in the games, though their conflict is resolved very quickly, much to the chagrin of viewers. Rayquaza appeared in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', where it fought against the pair of {{mov|Deoxys|Deoxys|7}}.

====Jirachi====
[[File:385Jirachi anime.png|thumb|left|{{p|Jirachi}} in the anime]]
One of the two event legendary Pokémon of Generation III, {{p|Jirachi}} is known to grant wishes written on the tags on its head each time it awakens: once every millennium.

In the games, Jirachi has never had a concrete location tied to it, and it cannot be captured from the wild legitimately. However, several direct transfers have been present in the history of the franchise, most notably in the form of a bonus disc released as a preview of {{g|Colosseum}} which fixes the [[Berry glitch]] present in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}.

Jirachi starred in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', where it befriended [[Max]] as the group attempted to keep it away from [[Butler]], a former [[Team Magma]] operative. Jirachi was available through a gamestop event in 2009.

====Deoxys====
[[File:386Deoxys formes.png|thumb|right|{{p|Deoxys}} in its four Formes: Attack, Normal, Defense, Speed]]
A virus from space which mutated when shot by a laser, {{p|Deoxys}} was the first legendary Pokémon known to [[Form differences|change form]], taking different forms on in each of the [[Generation III]] games - Normal Forme in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, Attack Forme in {{game|FireRed}}, Defense Forme in {{game|LeafGreen}}, and Speed Forme in {{game|Emerald}}, and being able to change them at will in the [[Generation IV]] games with special meteorites found in [[Veilstone City]] and on {{rt|3|Kanto}}.

In the games, Deoxys is only available on [[Birth Island]] when the [[AuroraTicket]] is downloaded to FireRed, LeafGreen, or Emerald, though as with all event legendary Pokémon, it has also been available through direct download via [[Mystery Gift]].

Deoxys featured heavily in the seventh Pokémon movie, ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', where its Attack and Defense Formes were first revealed. One of the two {{mov|Deoxys|Deoxys|7}} featured befriends a boy named [[Tory Lund]], who fears Pokémon otherwise and does not realize what Deoxys is, while the other seeks out the first, concerned for its safety. Another Deoxys featured in ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys Crisis!]]'', where Deoxys's Speed Forme debuted in the anime.

===Generation IV===
Fourteen more legendary Pokémon were added in [[Generation IV]], the most of any generation so far, bringing the total to a whopping 35. Many of the legendary Pokémon of this generation have little connection to the plot of the games, instead being minor, post-League sidequests for the player to go on. Seven of the 14 introduced, even, are not in Sinnoh's regional Pokédex, appearing only in the National Dex, a first for any Pokémon.

Prior to Generation IV, 680 had been the limit on a legendary Pokémon's [[base stat]] total: this limit was set by {{p|Mewtwo}} in [[Generation I]] and was only matched - never surpassed - in Generation II and Generation III. As of Generation IV, however, the most powerful of all Pokémon in terms of base stats is no longer Mewtwo or any of its equals, but {{p|Arceus}}, the supposed creator of the Pokémon universe.

====Lake guardians====
[[File:Mesprit Azelf Uxie anime.png|thumb|right|{{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Uxie}} together]]
The [[lake guardians]], [[Sinnoh]]'s native legendary trio, represent the spirit of all consciousness, with {{p|Uxie}} embodying knowledge, {{p|Mesprit}} embodying emotion, and {{p|Azelf}} embodying willpower. According to legend, having been created by {{p|Arceus|the Original One}}, the trio have the power to tame the powerful dragons it also created.

In the games, Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf are found in the caverns of [[Lake Acuity]], [[Lake Verity]], and [[Lake Valor]], respectively, though Mesprit will roam Sinnoh after the player has encountered it, rather than battle immediately as the other two will. The trio are captured by [[Team Galactic]]'s {{tc|Commander}}s, [[Jupiter]], [[Mars]], and [[Saturn]], and subjected to the experiments of [[Charon]] to draw out the [[Red Chain]] from the gems in their bodies. Cyrus summons {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, and alone, the lake guardians' power is not enough to stop them. {{p|Giratina}} interferes and draws Cyrus into the Distortion World, where the lake guardians assist the player in navigation toward Giratina's lair.

In the anime, the lake guardians appeared, first in spirit form, in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage]]'', ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals]]'', and ''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]'', to {{an|Dawn}}, {{Ash}}, and {{an|Brock}}, respectively. They were captured by [[J]], who had been hired by [[Team Galactic]], in ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]'', and were freed by Ash, Dawn, and Brock to stop the power of Dialga and Palkia in ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]''.

====Creation trio====
[[File:Dialga-Palkia-Giratina.jpg|180px|thumb|right|Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina artwork from {{game|Platinum}}]]
The legendary creators of the Pokémon universe, the [[Creation trio]] consisting of {{p|Dialga}} of time, {{p|Palkia}} of space, and {{p|Giratina}} of antimatter, are, like the weather trio before them, the mascots of [[Sinnoh]]'s trio of games, {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

In the games, Dialga and Palkia are sought by [[Cyrus]] to destroy and then remake the universe without spirit, a thing he hates about humanity. At [[Spear Pillar]], one of the two will be able to be captured in Diamond and Pearl, depending on the game, while Giratina may be obtained after the Pokémon League has been conquered. In Platinum, however, Giratina interferes with Cyrus's planned destruction of the universe, and may be captured in its home, the [[Distortion World]], while Dialga and Palkia cannot be found until the Elite Four have been defeated.

In the anime, {{an|Dialga}} and {{an|Palkia}} appeared together, fighting, in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', while Dialga and {{an|Giratina}} appeared in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. The three appeared together, finally, in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. Dialga and Palkia were also summoned at Spear Pillar and chained by Cyrus in ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', but were freed when he escaped into another universe and the Red Chain was shattered by Ash, Dawn, Brock, and their Pokémon.

====Lunar duo====
[[File:Darkrai-Newmoon Island.png|thumb|left|{{p|Darkrai}} on [[Newmoon Island]]]]
A sidequest legendary Pokémon and an event legendary Pokémon, respectively, {{p|Cresselia}} and {{p|Darkrai}} represent two phases of the moon with opposite connotations: Darkrai represents the {{wp|new moon}}, the cause of the darkest nights and bringer of nightmares, while Cresselia represents the {{wp|crescent moon}}, a sign of hope and good dreams.

In the games, Cresselia can be found on [[Fullmoon Island]] as part of a post-League quest to rid {{tc|Sailor}} Eldrich's son of a nightmare. It will flee immediately, roaming Sinnoh and leaving behind a [[Lunar Wing]], which will heal the boy. Darkrai is found on [[Newmoon Island]], accessible only with a [[Member Card]], and can only be obtained through an event. ALAMOS event Darkrai gave it Spacial Rend and Roar of Time.

The lunar duo made their debuts separately, with a {{mov|Darkrai|Darkrai|10}} appearing in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', attempting to stop Dialga and Palkia's fight from destroying its home, [[Alamos Town]], and protecting [[Alice]], its friend. Cresselia first appeared in ''[[DP104|Sleepless in Pre-Battle]]'', where it fought briefly against a Darkrai.

====Sea guardians====
[[File:Manaphyphione.png|thumb|right|{{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Phione}}]]
The sea guardian Pokémon are a legendary duo that, like Mewtwo and Mew, is comprised of a parent and child. {{p|Manaphy}}, a legendary Pokémon that makes its home in warmer seas south of the known regions, bears {{p|Phione}} when bred in captivity in the known regions.

In the games, Manaphy can only be found through an event: either it may be transferred in its egg from one of the {{ga|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger}} games after activating an event in those games, or can be directly received via various Mystery Gift events. Like Jirachi, it cannot be legitimately found in the wild. Phione, of course, must be bred from a Manaphy and a {{p|Ditto}}, making it the only legendary Pokémon available only through this method.

In the anime, Manaphy debuted in ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', where, like in the games, it first appeared as an egg, and befriended {{an|May}}, who it regarded as its mother. It was the only Pokémon able to find the mysterious Temple of the Sea, [[Samiya]], and was regarded as the Prince of the Sea. For this, it was sought by [[the Phantom]], a pirate who wished to take the jewels of the Sea Crown deep in Samiya. Phione debuted under different circumstances, being found in [[Chocovine Town]] in ''[[DP113|Hold the Phione!]]'', where they were revered as bringers of good luck.

Phione is disputed by many in its status as a legendary Pokémon, as its base stat total is lower than all other legendary Pokémon, while its availability compared to others is legitimately high, being able to be bred from a Ditto with either Manaphy or Phione as many times as a player would like. Even official sources have not been consistent, with [[Pokémon.com]] changing its status repeatedly, and official guidebooks alternately naming it as legendary or not. For all intents and purposes, it is regarded by Bulbapedia to not be legendary due to the latest official source.

====Heatran====
[[File:Heatran anime.png|thumb|right|{{p|Heatran}} in the anime]]
{{p|Heatran}} is the embodiment of all volcanic activity, appearing in [[Stark Mountain]] in [[Sinnoh]], where it was said to have been born at the same time as Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina created Sinnoh at [[Spear Pillar]] and created the [[Battle Zone]]. Heatran is the first, and currently only, legendary Pokémon with a variable gender.

Heatran first appeared in the anime in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', under the control of [[Marcus]], and later appeared in ''[[DP169|Pokémon Ranger: Heatran Rescue!]]'' as part of a Pokémon Ranger rescue mission.

====Regigigas====
[[File:Regigigasanime.png|thumb|left|{{p|Regigigas}} in the anime]]
{{p|Regigigas}} is the master of the [[legendary golems]], having created them in ancient times.

In the games, Regigigas is found at [[Snowpoint Temple]], though it will not awaken unless all three of the legendary golems are in the player's party.

Regigigas appeared in the anime in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', where it attempted to stop a glacier from destroying [[Gracidea]]. Another appeared in ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]'', where it was hunted by [[J]] and defended by {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}.

====Shaymin====
[[File:Seabreak path.png|thumb|right|{{p|Shaymin}} running down [[Seabreak Path]]]]
A legendary Pokémon that has the ability to purify areas instantly and bring plant life in abundance, {{p|Shaymin}} is referred to as the Mew of Generation IV. Unlike previous event legendary Pokémon with its straight-100 base stats, however, Shaymin has the ability to change forms, between Land Forme and Sky Forme.

In the games, like Darkrai, Shaymin is catchable in the wild after an event item has been obtained: this time [[Oak's Letter]], which requests the player's help on {{rt|224|Sinnoh}}. After giving thanks to someone or something, Shaymin will appear, and will be available to be caught at the end of the [[Seabreak Path]] that appears, in the [[Flower Paradise]].

Shaymin has a central role in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', when it, as well as its Sky Forme, were officially revealed. It also has a minor role in ''[[DP168|Keeping In Top Forme!]]'' involving [[Marley]].

====Arceus====
[[File:Arceus ruins art.png|thumb|left|{{p|Arceus}} creates a Pokémon egg for {{ga|Ethan}} and {{ga|Lyra}}]]
The final Pokémon of Generation IV and the most powerful known so far, {{p|Arceus}} is, according to legend, the creator of the Pokémon universe. Born of an egg in the chaos at the beginning, Arceus's powers were awakened immediately, and from itself it made time and space, matter and antimatter, and set {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}} to guard them. It created spirit as well, setting {{p|Uxie}} in charge of knowledge, {{p|Mesprit}} in charge of emotion, and {{p|Azelf}} in charge of willpower, before falling into an eternal slumber.

Arceus can be awoken from its sleep using an [[Azure Flute]] at [[Spear Pillar]], which will open a staircase to its home, the [[Hall of Origin]]. There it can be captured, though no legitimate way of obtaining the Azure Flute has yet been released.

In the anime, {{an|Arceus}} starred in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', where it set out to destroy [[Michina]] and its people for their betrayal in ancient times. After changing history with the help of Dialga, Ash and his friends revealed to Arceus the true nature of human beings, and it left Michina in peace.

===Generation V===
Thirteen additional legendary Pokémon were added in [[Generation V]], the second largest addition to the ranks (one lower than [[Generation IV]]), totaling 48 legendary Pokémon. {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} played a large role in the storyline of Black & White, with the respective mascot Pokémon being a necessary and unavoidable capture to progress to the endgame. The rest of the Pokémon mattered little to the narrative progression and some are still unavailable legitimately, waiting instead on future events to unlock their existence.

====Victini====
{{p|Victini}} is found at the beginning of [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Unova's Pokédex]], being #000. Much like {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Shaymin}} before it, each of its base stats are 100. It is the first [[Generation V]] [[event Pokémon]] revealed and allowed to be obtained. Victini is considered the embodiment of victory. It is said that a Trainer with a Victini will win anything no matter what. Victini is the future star of [[M14|''Victini and the Black Hero'']]

====Musketeer trio====
{{p|Cobalon}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, {{p|Virizion}} are a trio of Pokémon based on the titular characters of the 1844 French novel ''{{wp|The Three Musketeers}}'', and partially on hooved mammals such as deer, oxen, and horses. According to legend, they protect Pokémon from having their habitats destroyed by humans and have been known to have attacked human castles during the Middle Ages. Like the Three Musketeers, they are considered a trio but have a fourth, younger member in the form of {{p|Keldeo}} who the other three rescued and raised after its home was destroyed by fire. All four of them can use their horns like swords, and learn their signature move, {{m|Sacred Sword}}, at level 42 (43 for {{p|Keldeo}}).

====Kami trio====
{{p|Voltolos}}, {{p|Tornelos}}, and {{p|Landlos}} are a trio of Pokémon based on Japanese deities; Fujin, god of wind, Raijin, god of thunder and lightning, and Inari, a fertility god. Together the three represent the heavens and the nourishing effect the sky has upon the earth.

====Tao trio====
[[File:Reshiram Zekrom anime.png|thumb|280px|Reshiram and Zekrom]]
{{p|Zekrom}} and {{p|Reshiram}} represent Yin and Yang, and balance. Originally, they were a single dragon that helped found the Unova region's nation. But fighting between the two brothers that founded the nation split them into two halves that constantly conflict with each other.

It is widely speculated that {{p|Kyurem}} is related to Zekrom and Reshiram due to reasons such as their types and names, in the same way Giratina turned out to be closely related to Dialga and Palkia.

====Meloetta====
{{p|Meloetta}} represents music and dance. Meloetta is similar to the Greek idea of a Muse, a goddess of creativity and inspiration.

====Genesect====
{{p|Genesect}} is an experimental creature created by Team Plasma, under [[N]], attempting to create the strongest Pokémon in existence by altering an ancient insect Pokémon with cybernetic upgrades. It uses special cassettes to make variations to its signature move, {{m|Techno Buster}}.

==Trivia==
* In all but one of the games, there appears to only be one of every legendary Pokémon, but in the {{pkmn|anime}}, there is more than one of most legendary Pokémon. This may just mean that the creators of the game intended the {{player}} to only ever happen to meet one of them canonically, and in fact there are others elsewhere which the player does not encounter.
** This may be supported by the possibility of acquiring eggs of {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}} and {{p|Giratina}} in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, and {{p|Manaphy}} in the [[Generation IV]] games.
* Each generation has introduced at least one {{type2|Psychic}} legendary Pokémon and one {{type2|Flying}} legendary Pokémon, though the only Flying-type legendary Pokémon in Generation IV gain this type only in an alternate form.
* According to interviews with [[Junichi Masuda]] in 2009, legendary Pokémon are the most difficult to design names for because Game Freak strives to make sure that the names of legendary Pokémon are universal across the different translations, so extra work must be put into their names to make sure that they work universally in all languages and don't conflict with anything else. This is consistent with the relatively small number of legendary Pokémon who have had their names changed outside of Japan (currently six: the [[legendary birds]] and the [[lake guardians]]).
* As of [[Generation V]], aside from {{p|Arceus}}'s use of [[Plates]], there has never been a {{type|Poison}} legendary Pokémon.
* Only {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Lugia}}, and {{p|Ho-Oh}} have a battle theme that is shared with no other. {{p|Mew}} has its own battle theme; however, it is a remixed version of the normal [[Kanto]] wild battle theme.
* The legendary birds of Kanto are the most available wild legendary Pokémon, able to be caught in nine main series games each ({{v2|Red and Green}}, {{v|Blue}}, {{v|Yellow}}, {{v2|FireRed and LeafGreen}}, {{v|Platinum|}}, {{v2|HeartGold and SoulSilver}}). The least available wild legendary Pokémon are {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Mew}}, which only appear in the wild in one game apiece; each encounter requires an [[event item]] to activate it. {{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Darkrai}} may also count, as the event items for the two, though existent in the games' coding, were not released to players of {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, with the Mystery Gift events only available for players of {{v2|Platinum}}.
* There is at least one spirit-like legendary Pokémon in every generation with Gen IV having the most with two. They are as follows: Gen I has Mew, Gen II has Celebi, Gen III has Jirachi, Gen IV has Manaphy and Shaymin, and Gen V has Victini.

[[File:Entei_book.png|thumb|right|370px|An artist's interpretation of {{p|Entei}}, a legendary Pokémon]]
'''Legendary Pokémon''' are a group of incredibly rare, and often very powerful {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

While in English, all are typically grouped under the banner of "legendary", there are three distinct terms in Japanese that are used to refer to them. One, '''伝説のポケモン''' ''densetsu no Pokémon'', literally "legendary Pokémon", refers to Pokémon such as {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}}, who are featured prominently in the legends of the Pokémon world. A second, '''幻のポケモン''' ''maboroshi no Pokémon'', literally "illusory Pokémon", refers to Pokémon seen so rarely, such as {{p|Mew}}, that some question their very existence. This term was translated in the [[Generation IV]] games as "mirage Pokémon", in reference to the various [[Sinnoh myths|myths of Sinnoh]], and many consider it to refer to Pokémon that are restricted to [[Nintendo event]]s, not available during the course of normal gameplay. The third and newest term is '''神話のポケモン''' ''shinwa no Pokémon'', literally "mythical Pokémon", which refers to the Pokémon which are spoken of as the creators of the Sinnoh region.

==Characteristics of legendary Pokémon==

===Statistical averages{{tt|*|Considering Alternate Formes as seperate Pokémon}}===
{{BaseStatNoCat|
HP=92.89 |
Attack=86.11 |
Defense=85.28 |
SpAtk=124.45 |
SpDef=90.65 |
Speed=99.72 }}

Aside from the high [[stats]] shared by most legendary Pokémon, many of them are only available once to the {{player}} in a given save file, and to obtain another legitimately, one must [[trade]] with another game. The [[gender]] of most legendary Pokémon is unknown (though there are seven notable exceptions in {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Cresselia}}, {{p|Tornelos}}, {{p|Voltolos}}, and {{p|Landlos}}), and all but {{p|Phione}} and {{p|Manaphy}} are unable to breed in captivity, even with {{p|Ditto}}.

No legendary Pokémon is known to [[evolution|evolve]], though many are part of a [[legendary trio]] or [[legendary duo]]. Much like [[starter Pokémon]] appear at the beginning of each [[regional Pokédex]] and their generation's portion of the [[National Pokédex]], legendary Pokémon typically appear at the very end of them.

===In the anime===
Legendary Pokémon typically make their anime debut in a {{pkmn|movie}}, rather than first appearing in a normal episode. Many are held in a much higher regard than in the games, with their powers seen as being almost {{wp|deity|godlike}}. They are often only seen by special {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, usually the anime's main protagonist, [[Ash Ketchum]], who have a special connection to them. [[Villainous teams]] and others with bad intentions often seek them out, both due to their rarity as well as their superior power.

It has been shown that the capture of certain legendary Pokémon may lead to great catastrophe, due to their often pivotal role in nature. Some speculate, however, that if a Trainer were to "play by the rules", encountering and befriending the legendary Pokémon just the same as they would any other Pokémon, the results would not be as chaotic, if at all. This theory possibly has some weight, as {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}} befriended and fought official {{pkmn|battle}}s with an {{TP|Noland|Articuno}}, while [[Lawrence III]]'s capture of {{mov|Legendary birds|Zapdos|2}} and {{mov|Legendary birds|Moltres|2}} in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' was one of intended dominance and collection instead. It should be noted, however, that Noland was never seen to have had Articuno in a Poké Ball, and at the same time, he is a rather skilled Trainer. It should also be noted that in some cases a legendary Pokémon can be kept in a Poké Ball. For example, {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}} in the anime owned the three Regis in Poké Balls and trained them and there were no chaotic events that followed. [[Tobias]] is another Trainer who has been shown to have legendary Pokémon in Poké Balls.

Many legendary Pokémon are shown to breed in the wild, as seen with {{p|Lugia}}, while none are immortal nor invincible, as seen by the death of {{mov|Celebi|Celebi|4}} and the injury of {{an|Arceus}}. Very few, in fact, are often considered unique, with only {{an|Mewtwo}} known to be (due to the [[The Birth of Mewtwo|circumstances of its creation]]) and {{an|Arceus}}, {{an|Dialga}}, {{an|Palkia}}, and {{an|Giratina}} assumed to be, due to their role in the creation of the universe.

==List of legendary Pokémon==
Of the {{numpkmn}} Pokémon species, 48 are considered to be legendary, while several more have certain characteristics of legendary Pokémon. Each [[generation]] has introduced at least one legendary trio and one legendary duo.

===Generation I===
The legendary Pokémon introduced in [[Generation I]] can be broken into two groups: the [[legendary birds]] and the Mew duo.

====Legendary birds====
[[File:Legendary birds.png|thumb|right|270px|{{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Articuno}}, and {{p|Moltres}}. Art by [[Mitsuhiro Arita]].]]
The three [[legendary birds]], also known as the Winged Mirages, are the resident [[legendary trio]] of the [[Kanto]] region. Each of them is based on a mythical bird, and each is associated with a {{wp|season}} (though none of the three is associated with autumn).

In the games, all three are available in the Kanto region in all of its appearances except for [[Generation II]]. {{p|Articuno}} takes up residence in the [[Seafoam Islands]] in the south, {{p|Zapdos}} in the [[Power Plant]] (next to it in Generation IV) in the east, and {{p|Moltres}} in a variety of places, {{ka|Victory Road}}, [[Mt. Ember]], or [[Mt. Silver]], depending on the generation. In Generation IV, they are also found [[roaming Pokémon|roaming]] [[Sinnoh]], but only in {{game|Platinum}}.

In the anime, the legendary birds appear together in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', where they rule over the islands surrounding [[Shamouti Island]]. If they are disturbed and begin to fight, only {{mov|Lugia|Lugia|2}} can stop them, though it will fail without additional help from the Chosen One. Separately, Articuno appears in ''[[EP189|Freeze Frame]]'', ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]'', and ''[[AG136|The Symbol Life]]'', while Zapdos appears in ''[[EP242|As Clear As Crystal]]'', ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', and ''[[DP094|Doc Brock!]]'', and Moltres appears in ''[[EP074|All Fired Up]]'' and ''[[SS018|The Search for the Legend]]''.

====Mew duo====
[[Image:Mewtwo and Mew.png|thumb|250px|left|{{p|Mewtwo}} and {{p|Mew}} in [[M01|the first movie]].]]
The Mew duo, so named because of their similar genetic structure and Mewtwo's origin as an enhanced clone of Mew, are a pair of catlike Pokémon which are believed by many to be among the most rare and powerful Pokémon that exist.

In the games, {{p|Mew}} is only mentioned in years-old journals found in the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} on [[Cinnabar Island]]. It was the first [[event]]-exclusive Pokémon, being otherwise available only by [[Mew glitch|glitching the game]] or [[cheating]]. One is available in the wild on [[Faraway Island]], an event area in {{game|Emerald}}, the only time it is legitimately able to be caught from the wild.

Mew appears in the anime in both [[M01|the first movie]] and [[M08|the eighth movie]]. In the first, it appears to fight against Mewtwo, while in the second, its status as the Pokémon from which life began is explored.

In the games, {{p|Mewtwo}} is revealed to have been cloned from Mew in the journals in the Pokémon Mansion. Unlike most Pokémon, however, Mew gave live birth to Mewtwo, rather than laying an {{pkmn|egg}} and Mewtwo hatching from it. Mewtwo was too powerful, however, and it escapes from the Pokémon Mansion, destroying it in the process. Mewtwo then makes its home in [[Cerulean Cave]], where all kinds of powerful Pokémon live.

In the anime, {{an|Mewtwo}} was featured prominently, appearing in several episodes of the [[original series]], [[M01|the first movie]], and [[Mewtwo Returns|the first special episode]]. Mewtwo's origin is slightly different as well, with [[Team Rocket]] boss [[Giovanni]] funding a group of scientists to create an enhanced clone of {{p|Mew}} for his own use. Though Mewtwo is initially a very angry Pokémon, viewing all humans as evil due to the acts of the scientists and Giovanni, eventually, when [[Ash Ketchum]] sacrifices himself to stop the fighting between Mew and Mewtwo, Mewtwo's heart softens, and he learns that some humans do care about their, and all, Pokémon. Meeting up with Ash again, Mewtwo is further shown that, although it is a genetically-enhanced clone of Mew, it and the other clones are no different than normal Pokémon, and because it erased Ash and his friends' memory at the end of their first meeting, realizes that Ash himself truly does care for others, even if he doesn't know them.

Mewtwo is known in the anime to travel around the world, traversing rooftops at night, and living its life free. It occasionally appears in anime openings, sometimes with Mew, and sometimes alone.

===Generation II===
More legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation II]], adding six more for a running total of 11. The legendary Pokémon introduced in this generation down can be separated into three groups.

====Legendary beasts====
[[File:Entei Raikou Suicune.png|thumb|right|250px|{{ga|Lyra}} and [[Eusine]] discover the legendary beasts in the basement of the [[Burned Tower]].]]
Like the legendary birds of the previous generation, a second trio of similar types was introduced in the neighboring [[Johto]] region. These [[legendary beasts]], so named because their features are reminiscent of both {{wp|canine}} and {{wp|feline}} animals, were trapped in the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]] when it was struck by lightning and burned to the ground, resulting in their death. The trio was revived by the power of {{p|Ho-Oh}}, and now [[roaming Pokémon|roam across the land]] because of their great power.

In the games, more than one of each exists, with only the trio that roams Johto after being discovered in Brass Tower's basement during [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] being that of the legend. Each was captured and changed into a [[Shadow Pokémon]] by [[Cipher]] in {{g|Colosseum}}, while one of the three, depending on the player's [[starter Pokémon]] choice, roams Kanto in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, {{p|Entei}} for {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Raikou}} for {{p|Squirtle}}, and {{p|Suicune}} for {{p|Charmander}}.

In the anime, the legendary beasts did not appear together until [[M13|the thirteenth movie]], despite being introduced in Generation II. It appears that an initial plan for the three Johto-era {{pkmn|movie}}s was to have each feature one of the legendary beasts in a central role, with {{mov|Entei|Entei|3}} taking a central role in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]'' and {{mov|Suicune|Suicune|4}} taking the stage in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''. This did not pan out, however, possibly due to the canning of Johto's {{p|Celebi}} plotline, and Raikou was relegated to a role in ''[[The Legend of Thunder]]'', featuring anime characters based on {{ga|Ethan}} and {{ga|Kris}}, rather than [[M05|the fifth movie]], which focused on legendary Pokémon from the then-upcoming [[Generation III]] instead.

Each of the beasts made an episodic appearance, as well, with Entei appearing in ''[[EP259|Entei at Your Own Risk]]'', Raikou briefly appearing in ''[[EP180|Houndoom's Special Delivery]]'', and Suicune having the most prominence (as in the games) through its appearance in ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'Dile]]'', ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll]]'', and ''[[DP028|Drifloon On the Wind!]]''. The crown beasts from movie 13 take a central role in obtaining Zoroark in Pokemon Black and White.

====Tower duo====
[[Image:Lugia_and_ho-oh.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Lugia and Ho-Oh]]
The first [[version mascot]]s that were also legendary Pokémon, {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} are a pair of legendary birds which formerly resided in [[Ecruteak City]] atop tall towers, leading to their designation. However, when the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]], home of Lugia, was struck by lightning, it burned to the ground, and both flew away, Lugia to make its new home in the [[Whirl Islands]] and Ho-Oh to search the world for a pure-hearted Trainer. The two are thought to be as closely related as they are polar opposites, being based on the eastern legends of the {{wp|Fènghuáng}} and {{wp|Ryūjin}}.

In the games, Lugia does not play a central role in the Generation II storyline, instead being mentioned only as having lived in Ecruteak City before the Brass Tower burned. It is found in the Whirl Islands in the Generation II games and their {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|remakes}} if the player holds a {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Silver Wing}}. It reaches prominence in the storyline of {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, where [[XD001|one]] is corrupted by [[Cipher]] to become the ultimate [[Shadow Pokémon]], unable to be purified. It is also available on [[Navel Rock]] in Generation III, as an event-exclusive legendary Pokémon.

In the anime, Lugia is featured in a central role in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', where it is revealed that {{Ash}} is the Chosen One who must help it to quell the fighting of the [[legendary birds]]. Another pair of them appeared when Ash and his friends traveled to the Whirl Islands in Johto, and through this, the anime revealed that legendary Pokémon could breed (this is untrue in the games, at least in captivity, likely to restrict players from getting a limitless number of them).

Ho-Oh has a much greater focus during Generation II, being named as the savior of the legendary beasts. It can be found, if the player has a {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Rainbow Wing}}, atop [[Bell Tower]] in the Generation II games and their remakes. It makes an appearance in {{g|Colosseum}}, as well, as a reward for purifying all Shadow Pokémon, and on [[Navel Rock]] like Lugia.

In the anime, {{an|Ho-Oh}} is notably the first legendary Pokémon that appeared (outside of the [[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master|opening animation]], at least), flying over a rainbow at the start of [[Ash Ketchum]]'s journey at the end of ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''. Ash has subsequently seen it several times over the course of his journey, but has never come face-to-face with it.

====Celebi====
[[Image:Celebi_Shrine.png|thumb|right|100px|Celebi on its shrine in [[Ilex Forest]]]]
Although it has no relation to Mew that has been revealed, {{p|Celebi}} was dubbed the "New Mew" when it was introduced in Generation II because of their similar size and stats, as well as the status of being the last in the [[National Pokédex]] as of its generation and being unobtainable through normal gameplay. Unlike Mew, however, it was not believed to be the ancestor of all Pokémon, but merely the guardian of forests, traveling through time to make sure of their purity.

In the games, Celebi is available only by event, either directly (via [[trading]] or [[Mystery Gift]]), or, in {{game|Crystal}}, through an event involving the [[GS Ball]]. This made it the first event Pokémon that was able to be captured from the wild in the games after using an event-only item, something which would continue forward even to the current generation. Celebi also makes an appearance in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, but it is unobtainable.

In the anime, Celebi takes a central role in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'' and ''[[AG155|The Green Guardian]]''. In the movie, one accidentally brings a young [[Professor Oak]] to the future when attempting to escape from a poacher, and is later captured in a [[Iron-Masked Marauder|Team Rocket member]]'s Dark Balls to be used to destroy the forest and rule the world. In the episode, another is attempting to heal after putting out a forest fire, and needs the help of Pokémon Ranger [[Solana]], as well as the anime's protagonists, to do so. A pokemon movie 10 event celebi is the only way to obtain zorua in pokemon black and white.

===Generation III===
Many more legendary Pokémon were added to the roster in [[Generation III]], with the ten new legendary Pokémon bringing the total to 21. At this point in the series, legendary Pokémon began to have a greater role in the storyline of the games, with the plot of the [[villainous teams]] introduced in this generation and the next involving the reawakening of ancient legendary Pokémon for the team's own use.

====Legendary golems====
[[Image:Regis.png|thumb|left|{{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, and {{p|Regirock}}]]
This third trio of legendary Pokémon, based on the {{wp|golem}}s of Hebrew legend, featured minimally in Hoenn-region legend. Based on the three ancient ages of humanity, the ice age, the stone age, and the iron age, the [[legendary golems]] took a back seat among the legendary Pokémon introduced in their generation, and are sometimes referred to by fans derisively as the "legendary trash cans". Truly, this legendary trio, as well as its [[trio master|master]], {{p|Regigigas}}, feature the most complicated method of in-game availability, with puzzles made of [[braille]] in the Hoenn region being the keys to unlocking their mystery.

As complex as the method in which they are obtained is the legend of the golems, which is told in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and finally completed in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. Long ago, an ancient Pokémon was said to have moved the continents into their present positions by pulling them with ropes. After it was finished, it created in its image three Pokémon: {{p|Regirock}}, from clay, {{p|Regice}}, from ice, and {{p|Registeel}}, from magma. Ancient people, seeing that the Pokémon was so powerful, sealed it away in [[Snowpoint Temple]], while those it had created were separated from it and taken to the Hoenn region, sealed in three chambers, and left in the hopes that one day, someone would unlock the chambers and be able to tame the three so as to tame Regigigas. They are available in the [[Desert Ruins]], [[Island Cave]], and [[Ancient Tomb]] in Hoenn, as well as the [[Rock Peak Ruins]], [[Iceberg Ruins]], and [[Iron Ruins]] in [[Sinnoh]] with an event {{p|Regigigas}}.

In the anime, the three legendary golems starred together guarding the [[Tree of Beginning]] in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', as well as members of {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s team in the Battle Frontier saga.

====Eon duo====
[[File:Latias Latios.png|thumb|220px|right|{{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}}]]
Another of Hoenn's minor legendary Pokémon, {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} do not feature a distinct legend behind them. Nonetheless, they are incredibly rare, with only one of the two available normally to players, and the other available through an event.

Latios and Latias take on counterpart availability in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} as well as {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, with Latios being a [[roaming Pokémon]] in Ruby and SoulSilver, and Latias doing the same in Sapphire and HeartGold. In Emerald, after the player has defeated the Elite Four, their mother will ask if the Pokémon mentioned on TV was red or blue, and depending on that, one of the two will be roaming Hoenn. The other member of the duo will be found on [[Southern Island]], accessible by [[Eon Ticket]], in Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, and in [[Pewter City]], through the [[Enigma Stone]] event, in HeartGold and SoulSilver.

In the anime, Latios and Latias were the stars of ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]'', where the two guarded the legendary city of [[Alto Mare]]. With a strong connection to the [[Soul Dew]], the two were responsible for protecting it from {{mov|Annie}} and [[Oakley]], who wished to steal it.

====Weather trio====
[[Image:GenIII_Battle.jpg|250px|thumb|right|A depiction of the cataclysmic battle between {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}}]]
The trio of super-ancient Pokémon, known for their [[weather conditions|weather-related]] [[abilities]] as the [[weather trio]], serve as the [[version mascot]]s of {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and represent the three major components of the Earth: the hydrosphere, the lithosphere, and the atmosphere. Said to shape the land and sea, respectively, {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} are among the most powerful legendary Pokémon, while {{p|Rayquaza}} prevents the two from quarreling.

During the course of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, [[Team Magma]] or [[Team Aqua]], depending on version, seek out Groudon or Kyogre, respectively, with the intention of awakening them to make more homes for Pokémon of the land or sea. Eventually, the plan goes awry, and the player is forced to defeat or capture the legendary Pokémon to stop a global disaster. In {{game|Emerald}}, instead, both teams are on the loose, intending to awaken their respective legendary Pokémon, and only with interference by the player and {{p|Rayquaza}} does the fight end up resolved.

In the anime, Groudon and Kyogre appeared in the two-part episode consisting of ''[[AG096|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG097|The Scuffle of Legends]]''. In these episodes, Team Magma and Team Aqua finally succeed in awakening the two, as in the games, though their conflict is resolved very quickly, much to the chagrin of viewers. Rayquaza appeared in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', where it fought against the pair of {{mov|Deoxys|Deoxys|7}}.

====Jirachi====
[[File:385Jirachi anime.png|thumb|left|{{p|Jirachi}} in the anime]]
One of the two event legendary Pokémon of Generation III, {{p|Jirachi}} is known to grant wishes written on the tags on its head each time it awakens: once every millennium.

In the games, Jirachi has never had a concrete location tied to it, and it cannot be captured from the wild legitimately. However, several direct transfers have been present in the history of the franchise, most notably in the form of a bonus disc released as a preview of {{g|Colosseum}} which fixes the [[Berry glitch]] present in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}.

Jirachi starred in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', where it befriended [[Max]] as the group attempted to keep it away from [[Butler]], a former [[Team Magma]] operative. Jirachi was available through a gamestop event in 2009.

====Deoxys====
[[File:386Deoxys formes.png|thumb|right|{{p|Deoxys}} in its four Formes: Attack, Normal, Defense, Speed]]
A virus from space which mutated when shot by a laser, {{p|Deoxys}} was the first legendary Pokémon known to [[Form differences|change form]], taking different forms on in each of the [[Generation III]] games - Normal Forme in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, Attack Forme in {{game|FireRed}}, Defense Forme in {{game|LeafGreen}}, and Speed Forme in {{game|Emerald}}, and being able to change them at will in the [[Generation IV]] games with special meteorites found in [[Veilstone City]] and on {{rt|3|Kanto}}.

In the games, Deoxys is only available on [[Birth Island]] when the [[AuroraTicket]] is downloaded to FireRed, LeafGreen, or Emerald, though as with all event legendary Pokémon, it has also been available through direct download via [[Mystery Gift]].

Deoxys featured heavily in the seventh Pokémon movie, ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', where its Attack and Defense Formes were first revealed. One of the two {{mov|Deoxys|Deoxys|7}} featured befriends a boy named [[Tory Lund]], who fears Pokémon otherwise and does not realize what Deoxys is, while the other seeks out the first, concerned for its safety. Another Deoxys featured in ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys Crisis!]]'', where Deoxys's Speed Forme debuted in the anime.

===Generation IV===
Fourteen more legendary Pokémon were added in [[Generation IV]], the most of any generation so far, bringing the total to a whopping 35. Many of the legendary Pokémon of this generation have little connection to the plot of the games, instead being minor, post-League sidequests for the player to go on. Seven of the 14 introduced, even, are not in Sinnoh's regional Pokédex, appearing only in the National Dex, a first for any Pokémon.

Prior to Generation IV, 680 had been the limit on a legendary Pokémon's [[base stat]] total: this limit was set by {{p|Mewtwo}} in [[Generation I]] and was only matched - never surpassed - in Generation II and Generation III. As of Generation IV, however, the most powerful of all Pokémon in terms of base stats is no longer Mewtwo or any of its equals, but {{p|Arceus}}, the supposed creator of the Pokémon universe.

====Lake guardians====
[[File:Mesprit Azelf Uxie anime.png|thumb|right|{{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Uxie}} together]]
The [[lake guardians]], [[Sinnoh]]'s native legendary trio, represent the spirit of all consciousness, with {{p|Uxie}} embodying knowledge, {{p|Mesprit}} embodying emotion, and {{p|Azelf}} embodying willpower. According to legend, having been created by {{p|Arceus|the Original One}}, the trio have the power to tame the powerful dragons it also created.

In the games, Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf are found in the caverns of [[Lake Acuity]], [[Lake Verity]], and [[Lake Valor]], respectively, though Mesprit will roam Sinnoh after the player has encountered it, rather than battle immediately as the other two will. The trio are captured by [[Team Galactic]]'s {{tc|Commander}}s, [[Jupiter]], [[Mars]], and [[Saturn]], and subjected to the experiments of [[Charon]] to draw out the [[Red Chain]] from the gems in their bodies. Cyrus summons {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, and alone, the lake guardians' power is not enough to stop them. {{p|Giratina}} interferes and draws Cyrus into the Distortion World, where the lake guardians assist the player in navigation toward Giratina's lair.

In the anime, the lake guardians appeared, first in spirit form, in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage]]'', ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals]]'', and ''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]'', to {{an|Dawn}}, {{Ash}}, and {{an|Brock}}, respectively. They were captured by [[J]], who had been hired by [[Team Galactic]], in ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]'', and were freed by Ash, Dawn, and Brock to stop the power of Dialga and Palkia in ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]''.

====Creation trio====
[[File:Dialga-Palkia-Giratina.jpg|180px|thumb|right|Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina artwork from {{game|Platinum}}]]
The legendary creators of the Pokémon universe, the [[Creation trio]] consisting of {{p|Dialga}} of time, {{p|Palkia}} of space, and {{p|Giratina}} of antimatter, are, like the weather trio before them, the mascots of [[Sinnoh]]'s trio of games, {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

In the games, Dialga and Palkia are sought by [[Cyrus]] to destroy and then remake the universe without spirit, a thing he hates about humanity. At [[Spear Pillar]], one of the two will be able to be captured in Diamond and Pearl, depending on the game, while Giratina may be obtained after the Pokémon League has been conquered. In Platinum, however, Giratina interferes with Cyrus's planned destruction of the universe, and may be captured in its home, the [[Distortion World]], while Dialga and Palkia cannot be found until the Elite Four have been defeated.

In the anime, {{an|Dialga}} and {{an|Palkia}} appeared together, fighting, in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', while Dialga and {{an|Giratina}} appeared in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. The three appeared together, finally, in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. Dialga and Palkia were also summoned at Spear Pillar and chained by Cyrus in ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', but were freed when he escaped into another universe and the Red Chain was shattered by Ash, Dawn, Brock, and their Pokémon.

====Lunar duo====
[[File:Darkrai-Newmoon Island.png|thumb|left|{{p|Darkrai}} on [[Newmoon Island]]]]
A sidequest legendary Pokémon and an event legendary Pokémon, respectively, {{p|Cresselia}} and {{p|Darkrai}} represent two phases of the moon with opposite connotations: Darkrai represents the {{wp|new moon}}, the cause of the darkest nights and bringer of nightmares, while Cresselia represents the {{wp|crescent moon}}, a sign of hope and good dreams.

In the games, Cresselia can be found on [[Fullmoon Island]] as part of a post-League quest to rid {{tc|Sailor}} Eldrich's son of a nightmare. It will flee immediately, roaming Sinnoh and leaving behind a [[Lunar Wing]], which will heal the boy. Darkrai is found on [[Newmoon Island]], accessible only with a [[Member Card]], and can only be obtained through an event.

The lunar duo made their debuts separately, with a {{mov|Darkrai|Darkrai|10}} appearing in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', attempting to stop Dialga and Palkia's fight from destroying its home, [[Alamos Town]], and protecting [[Alice]], its friend. Cresselia first appeared in ''[[DP104|Sleepless in Pre-Battle]]'', where it fought briefly against a Darkrai.

====Sea guardians====
[[File:Manaphyphione.png|thumb|right|{{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Phione}}]]
The sea guardian Pokémon are a legendary duo that, like Mewtwo and Mew, is comprised of a parent and child. {{p|Manaphy}}, a legendary Pokémon that makes its home in warmer seas south of the known regions, bears {{p|Phione}} when bred in captivity in the known regions.

In the games, Manaphy can only be found through an event: either it may be transferred in its egg from one of the {{ga|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger}} games after activating an event in those games, or can be directly received via various Mystery Gift events. Like Jirachi, it cannot be legitimately found in the wild. Phione, of course, must be bred from a Manaphy and a {{p|Ditto}}, making it the only legendary Pokémon available only through this method.

In the anime, Manaphy debuted in ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', where, like in the games, it first appeared as an egg, and befriended {{an|May}}, who it regarded as its mother. It was the only Pokémon able to find the mysterious Temple of the Sea, [[Samiya]], and was regarded as the Prince of the Sea. For this, it was sought by [[the Phantom]], a pirate who wished to take the jewels of the Sea Crown deep in Samiya. Phione debuted under different circumstances, being found in [[Chocovine Town]] in ''[[DP113|Hold the Phione!]]'', where they were revered as bringers of good luck.

Phione is disputed by many in its status as a legendary Pokémon, as its base stat total is lower than all other legendary Pokémon, while its availability compared to others is legitimately high, being able to be bred from a Ditto with either Manaphy or Phione as many times as a player would like. Even official sources have not been consistent, with [[Pokémon.com]] changing its status repeatedly, and official guidebooks alternately naming it as legendary or not. For all intents and purposes, it is regarded by Bulbapedia to not be legendary due to the latest official source.

====Heatran====
[[File:Heatran anime.png|thumb|right|{{p|Heatran}} in the anime]]
{{p|Heatran}} is the embodiment of all volcanic activity, appearing in [[Stark Mountain]] in [[Sinnoh]], where it was said to have been born at the same time as Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina created Sinnoh at [[Spear Pillar]] and created the [[Battle Zone]]. Heatran is the first, and currently only, legendary Pokémon with a variable gender.

Heatran first appeared in the anime in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', under the control of [[Marcus]], and later appeared in ''[[DP169|Pokémon Ranger: Heatran Rescue!]]'' as part of a Pokémon Ranger rescue mission.

====Regigigas====
[[File:Regigigasanime.png|thumb|left|{{p|Regigigas}} in the anime]]
{{p|Regigigas}} is the master of the [[legendary golems]], having created them in ancient times.

In the games, Regigigas is found at [[Snowpoint Temple]], though it will not awaken unless all three of the legendary golems are in the player's party.

Regigigas appeared in the anime in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', where it attempted to stop a glacier from destroying [[Gracidea]]. Another appeared in ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]'', where it was hunted by [[J]] and defended by {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}.

====Shaymin====
[[File:Seabreak path.png|thumb|right|{{p|Shaymin}} running down [[Seabreak Path]]]]
A legendary Pokémon that has the ability to purify areas instantly and bring plant life in abundance, {{p|Shaymin}} is referred to as the Mew of Generation IV. Unlike previous event legendary Pokémon with its straight-100 base stats, however, Shaymin has the ability to change forms, between Land Forme and Sky Forme.

In the games, like Darkrai, Shaymin is catchable in the wild after an event item has been obtained: this time [[Oak's Letter]], which requests the player's help on {{rt|224|Sinnoh}}. After giving thanks to someone or something, Shaymin will appear, and will be available to be caught at the end of the [[Seabreak Path]] that appears, in the [[Flower Paradise]].

Shaymin has a central role in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', when it, as well as its Sky Forme, were officially revealed. It also has a minor role in ''[[DP168|Keeping In Top Forme!]]'' involving [[Marley]].

====Arceus====
[[File:Arceus ruins art.png|thumb|left|{{p|Arceus}} creates a Pokémon egg for {{ga|Ethan}} and {{ga|Lyra}}]]
The final Pokémon of Generation IV and the most powerful known so far, {{p|Arceus}} is, according to legend, the creator of the Pokémon universe. Born of an egg in the chaos at the beginning, Arceus's powers were awakened immediately, and from itself it made time and space, matter and antimatter, and set {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}} to guard them. It created spirit as well, setting {{p|Uxie}} in charge of knowledge, {{p|Mesprit}} in charge of emotion, and {{p|Azelf}} in charge of willpower, before falling into an eternal slumber.

Arceus can be awoken from its sleep using an [[Azure Flute]] at [[Spear Pillar]], which will open a staircase to its home, the [[Hall of Origin]]. There it can be captured, though no legitimate way of obtaining the Azure Flute has yet been released.

In the anime, {{an|Arceus}} starred in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', where it set out to destroy [[Michina]] and its people for their betrayal in ancient times. After changing history with the help of Dialga, Ash and his friends revealed to Arceus the true nature of human beings, and it left Michina in peace.

===Generation V===
Thirteen additional legendary Pokémon were added in [[Generation V]], the second largest addition to the ranks (one lower than [[Generation IV]]), totaling 48 legendary Pokémon. {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} played a large role in the storyline of Black & White, with the respective mascot Pokémon being a necessary and unavoidable capture to progress to the endgame. The rest of the Pokémon mattered little to the narrative progression and some are still unavailable legitimately, waiting instead on future events to unlock their existence.

====Victini====
{{p|Victini}} is found at the beginning of [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Unova's Pokédex]], being #000. Much like {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Shaymin}} before it, each of its base stats are 100. It is the first [[Generation V]] [[event Pokémon]] revealed and allowed to be obtained. Victini is considered the embodiment of victory. It is said that a Trainer with a Victini will win anything no matter what. Victini is the future star of [[M14|''Victini and the Black Hero'']]

====Musketeer trio====
{{p|Cobalon}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, {{p|Virizion}} are a trio of Pokémon based on the titular characters of the 1844 French novel ''{{wp|The Three Musketeers}}'', and partially on hooved mammals such as deer, oxen, and horses. According to legend, they protect Pokémon from having their habitats destroyed by humans and have been known to have attacked human castles during the Middle Ages. Like the Three Musketeers, they are considered a trio but have a fourth, younger member in the form of {{p|Keldeo}} who the other three rescued and raised after its home was destroyed by fire. All four of them can use their horns like swords, and learn their signature move, {{m|Sacred Sword}}, at level 42 (43 for {{p|Keldeo}}).

====Kami trio====
{{p|Voltolos}}, {{p|Tornelos}}, and {{p|Landlos}} are a trio of Pokémon based on Japanese deities; Fujin, god of wind, Raijin, god of thunder and lightning, and Inari, a fertility god. Together the three represent the heavens and the nourishing effect the sky has upon the earth.

====Tao trio====
[[File:Reshiram Zekrom anime.png|thumb|280px|Reshiram and Zekrom]]
{{p|Zekrom}} and {{p|Reshiram}} represent Yin and Yang, and balance. Originally, they were a single dragon that helped found the Unova region's nation. But fighting between the two brothers that founded the nation split them into two halves that constantly conflict with each other.

It is widely speculated that {{p|Kyurem}} is related to Zekrom and Reshiram due to reasons such as their types and names, in the same way Giratina turned out to be closely related to Dialga and Palkia.

====Meloetta====
{{p|Meloetta}} represents music and dance. Meloetta is similar to the Greek idea of a Muse, a goddess of creativity and inspiration.

====Genesect====
{{p|Genesect}} is an experimental creature created by Team Plasma, under [[N]], attempting to create the strongest Pokémon in existence by altering an ancient insect Pokémon with cybernetic upgrades. It uses special cassettes to make variations to its signature move, {{m|Techno Buster}}.

==Trivia==
* In all but one of the games, there appears to only be one of every legendary Pokémon, but in the {{pkmn|anime}}, there is more than one of most legendary Pokémon. This may just mean that the creators of the game intended the {{player}} to only ever happen to meet one of them canonically, and in fact there are others elsewhere which the player does not encounter.
** This may be supported by the possibility of acquiring eggs of {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}} and {{p|Giratina}} in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, and {{p|Manaphy}} in the [[Generation IV]] games.
* Each generation has introduced at least one {{type2|Psychic}} legendary Pokémon and one {{type2|Flying}} legendary Pokémon, though the only Flying-type legendary Pokémon in Generation IV gain this type only in an alternate form.
* According to interviews with [[Junichi Masuda]] in 2009, legendary Pokémon are the most difficult to design names for because Game Freak strives to make sure that the names of legendary Pokémon are universal across the different translations, so extra work must be put into their names to make sure that they work universally in all languages and don't conflict with anything else. This is consistent with the relatively small number of legendary Pokémon who have had their names changed outside of Japan (currently six: the [[legendary birds]] and the [[lake guardians]]).
* As of [[Generation V]], aside from {{p|Arceus}}'s use of [[Plates]], there has never been a {{type|Poison}} legendary Pokémon.
* Only {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Lugia}}, and {{p|Ho-Oh}} have a battle theme that is shared with no other. {{p|Mew}} has its own battle theme; however, it is a remixed version of the normal [[Kanto]] wild battle theme.
* The legendary birds of Kanto are the most available wild legendary Pokémon, able to be caught in nine main series games each ({{v2|Red and Green}}, {{v|Blue}}, {{v|Yellow}}, {{v2|FireRed and LeafGreen}}, {{v|Platinum|}}, {{v2|HeartGold and SoulSilver}}). The least available wild legendary Pokémon are {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Mew}}, which only appear in the wild in one game apiece; each encounter requires an [[event item]] to activate it. {{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Darkrai}} may also count, as the event items for the two, though existent in the games' coding, were not released to players of {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, with the Mystery Gift events only available for players of {{v2|Platinum}}.
* There is at least one spirit-like legendary Pokémon in every generation with Gen IV having the most with two. They are as follows: Gen I has Mew, Gen II has Celebi, Gen III has Jirachi, Gen IV has Manaphy and Shaymin, and Gen V has Victini.

[[File:Entei_book.png|thumb|right|370px|An artist's interpretation of {{p|Entei}}, a legendary Pokémon]]
'''Legendary Pokémon''' are a group of incredibly rare, and often very powerful {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

While in English, all are typically grouped under the banner of "legendary", there are three distinct terms in Japanese that are used to refer to them. One, '''伝説のポケモン''' ''densetsu no Pokémon'', literally "legendary Pokémon", refers to Pokémon such as {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}}, who are featured prominently in the legends of the Pokémon world. A second, '''幻のポケモン''' ''maboroshi no Pokémon'', literally "illusory Pokémon", refers to Pokémon seen so rarely, such as {{p|Mew}}, that some question their very existence. This term was translated in the [[Generation IV]] games as "mirage Pokémon", in reference to the various [[Sinnoh myths|myths of Sinnoh]], and many consider it to refer to Pokémon that are restricted to [[Nintendo event]]s, not available during the course of normal gameplay. The third and newest term is '''神話のポケモン''' ''shinwa no Pokémon'', literally "mythical Pokémon", which refers to the Pokémon which are spoken of as the creators of the Sinnoh region.

==Characteristics of legendary Pokémon==

===Statistical averages{{tt|*|Considering Alternate Formes as seperate Pokémon}}===
{{BaseStatNoCat|
HP=92.89 |
Attack=86.11 |
Defense=85.28 |
SpAtk=124.45 |
SpDef=90.65 |
Speed=99.72 }}

Aside from the high [[stats]] shared by most legendary Pokémon, many of them are only available once to the {{player}} in a given save file, and to obtain another legitimately, one must [[trade]] with another game. The [[gender]] of most legendary Pokémon is unknown (though there are seven notable exceptions in {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Cresselia}}, {{p|Tornelos}}, {{p|Voltolos}}, and {{p|Landlos}}), and all but {{p|Phione}} and {{p|Manaphy}} are unable to breed in captivity, even with {{p|Ditto}}.

No legendary Pokémon is known to [[evolution|evolve]], though many are part of a [[legendary trio]] or [[legendary duo]]. Much like [[starter Pokémon]] appear at the beginning of each [[regional Pokédex]] and their generation's portion of the [[National Pokédex]], legendary Pokémon typically appear at the very end of them.

===In the anime===
Legendary Pokémon typically make their anime debut in a {{pkmn|movie}}, rather than first appearing in a normal episode. Many are held in a much higher regard than in the games, with their powers seen as being almost {{wp|deity|godlike}}. They are often only seen by special {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, usually the anime's main protagonist, [[Ash Ketchum]], who have a special connection to them. [[Villainous teams]] and others with bad intentions often seek them out, both due to their rarity as well as their superior power.

It has been shown that the capture of certain legendary Pokémon may lead to great catastrophe, due to their often pivotal role in nature. Some speculate, however, that if a Trainer were to "play by the rules", encountering and befriending the legendary Pokémon just the same as they would any other Pokémon, the results would not be as chaotic, if at all. This theory possibly has some weight, as {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}} befriended and fought official {{pkmn|battle}}s with an {{TP|Noland|Articuno}}, while [[Lawrence III]]'s capture of {{mov|Legendary birds|Zapdos|2}} and {{mov|Legendary birds|Moltres|2}} in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' was one of intended dominance and collection instead. It should be noted, however, that Noland was never seen to have had Articuno in a Poké Ball, and at the same time, he is a rather skilled Trainer. It should also be noted that in some cases a legendary Pokémon can be kept in a Poké Ball. For example, {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}} in the anime owned the three Regis in Poké Balls and trained them and there were no chaotic events that followed. [[Tobias]] is another Trainer who has been shown to have legendary Pokémon in Poké Balls.

Many legendary Pokémon are shown to breed in the wild, as seen with {{p|Lugia}}, while none are immortal nor invincible, as seen by the death of {{mov|Celebi|Celebi|4}} and the injury of {{an|Arceus}}. Very few, in fact, are often considered unique, with only {{an|Mewtwo}} known to be (due to the [[The Birth of Mewtwo|circumstances of its creation]]) and {{an|Arceus}}, {{an|Dialga}}, {{an|Palkia}}, and {{an|Giratina}} assumed to be, due to their role in the creation of the universe.

==List of legendary Pokémon==
Of the {{numpkmn}} Pokémon species, 48 are considered to be legendary, while several more have certain characteristics of legendary Pokémon. Each [[generation]] has introduced at least one legendary trio and one legendary duo.

===Generation I===
The legendary Pokémon introduced in [[Generation I]] can be broken into two groups: the [[legendary birds]] and the Mew duo.

====Legendary birds====
[[File:Legendary birds.png|thumb|right|270px|{{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Articuno}}, and {{p|Moltres}}. Art by [[Mitsuhiro Arita]].]]
The three [[legendary birds]], also known as the Winged Mirages, are the resident [[legendary trio]] of the [[Kanto]] region. Each of them is based on a mythical bird, and each is associated with a {{wp|season}} (though none of the three is associated with autumn).

In the games, all three are available in the Kanto region in all of its appearances except for [[Generation II]]. {{p|Articuno}} takes up residence in the [[Seafoam Islands]] in the south, {{p|Zapdos}} in the [[Power Plant]] (next to it in Generation IV) in the east, and {{p|Moltres}} in a variety of places, {{ka|Victory Road}}, [[Mt. Ember]], or [[Mt. Silver]], depending on the generation. In Generation IV, they are also found [[roaming Pokémon|roaming]] [[Sinnoh]], but only in {{game|Platinum}}.

In the anime, the legendary birds appear together in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', where they rule over the islands surrounding [[Shamouti Island]]. If they are disturbed and begin to fight, only {{mov|Lugia|Lugia|2}} can stop them, though it will fail without additional help from the Chosen One. Separately, Articuno appears in ''[[EP189|Freeze Frame]]'', ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]'', and ''[[AG136|The Symbol Life]]'', while Zapdos appears in ''[[EP242|As Clear As Crystal]]'', ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', and ''[[DP094|Doc Brock!]]'', and Moltres appears in ''[[EP074|All Fired Up]]'' and ''[[SS018|The Search for the Legend]]''.

====Mew duo====
[[Image:Mewtwo and Mew.png|thumb|250px|left|{{p|Mewtwo}} and {{p|Mew}} in [[M01|the first movie]].]]
The Mew duo, so named because of their similar genetic structure and Mewtwo's origin as an enhanced clone of Mew, are a pair of catlike Pokémon which are believed by many to be among the most rare and powerful Pokémon that exist.

In the games, {{p|Mew}} is only mentioned in years-old journals found in the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} on [[Cinnabar Island]]. It was the first [[event]]-exclusive Pokémon, being otherwise available only by [[Mew glitch|glitching the game]] or [[cheating]]. One is available in the wild on [[Faraway Island]], an event area in {{game|Emerald}}, the only time it is legitimately able to be caught from the wild.

Mew appears in the anime in both [[M01|the first movie]] and [[M08|the eighth movie]]. In the first, it appears to fight against Mewtwo, while in the second, its status as the Pokémon from which life began is explored.

In the games, {{p|Mewtwo}} is revealed to have been cloned from Mew in the journals in the Pokémon Mansion. Unlike most Pokémon, however, Mew gave live birth to Mewtwo, rather than laying an {{pkmn|egg}} and Mewtwo hatching from it. Mewtwo was too powerful, however, and it escapes from the Pokémon Mansion, destroying it in the process. Mewtwo then makes its home in [[Cerulean Cave]], where all kinds of powerful Pokémon live.

In the anime, {{an|Mewtwo}} was featured prominently, appearing in several episodes of the [[original series]], [[M01|the first movie]], and [[Mewtwo Returns|the first special episode]]. Mewtwo's origin is slightly different as well, with [[Team Rocket]] boss [[Giovanni]] funding a group of scientists to create an enhanced clone of {{p|Mew}} for his own use. Though Mewtwo is initially a very angry Pokémon, viewing all humans as evil due to the acts of the scientists and Giovanni, eventually, when [[Ash Ketchum]] sacrifices himself to stop the fighting between Mew and Mewtwo, Mewtwo's heart softens, and he learns that some humans do care about their, and all, Pokémon. Meeting up with Ash again, Mewtwo is further shown that, although it is a genetically-enhanced clone of Mew, it and the other clones are no different than normal Pokémon, and because it erased Ash and his friends' memory at the end of their first meeting, realizes that Ash himself truly does care for others, even if he doesn't know them.

Mewtwo is known in the anime to travel around the world, traversing rooftops at night, and living its life free. It occasionally appears in anime openings, sometimes with Mew, and sometimes alone.

===Generation II===
More legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation II]], adding six more for a running total of 11. The legendary Pokémon introduced in this generation down can be separated into three groups.

====Legendary beasts====
[[File:Entei Raikou Suicune.png|thumb|right|250px|{{ga|Lyra}} and [[Eusine]] discover the legendary beasts in the basement of the [[Burned Tower]].]]
Like the legendary birds of the previous generation, a second trio of similar types was introduced in the neighboring [[Johto]] region. These [[legendary beasts]], so named because their features are reminiscent of both {{wp|canine}} and {{wp|feline}} animals, were trapped in the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]] when it was struck by lightning and burned to the ground, resulting in their death. The trio was revived by the power of {{p|Ho-Oh}}, and now [[roaming Pokémon|roam across the land]] because of their great power.

In the games, more than one of each exists, with only the trio that roams Johto after being discovered in Brass Tower's basement during [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] being that of the legend. Each was captured and changed into a [[Shadow Pokémon]] by [[Cipher]] in {{g|Colosseum}}, while one of the three, depending on the player's [[starter Pokémon]] choice, roams Kanto in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, {{p|Entei}} for {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Raikou}} for {{p|Squirtle}}, and {{p|Suicune}} for {{p|Charmander}}.

In the anime, the legendary beasts did not appear together until [[M13|the thirteenth movie]], despite being introduced in Generation II. It appears that an initial plan for the three Johto-era {{pkmn|movie}}s was to have each feature one of the legendary beasts in a central role, with {{mov|Entei|Entei|3}} taking a central role in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]'' and {{mov|Suicune|Suicune|4}} taking the stage in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''. This did not pan out, however, possibly due to the canning of Johto's {{p|Celebi}} plotline, and Raikou was relegated to a role in ''[[The Legend of Thunder]]'', featuring anime characters based on {{ga|Ethan}} and {{ga|Kris}}, rather than [[M05|the fifth movie]], which focused on legendary Pokémon from the then-upcoming [[Generation III]] instead.

Each of the beasts made an episodic appearance, as well, with Entei appearing in ''[[EP259|Entei at Your Own Risk]]'', Raikou briefly appearing in ''[[EP180|Houndoom's Special Delivery]]'', and Suicune having the most prominence (as in the games) through its appearance in ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'Dile]]'', ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll]]'', and ''[[DP028|Drifloon On the Wind!]]''. The crown beasts from movie 13 take a central role in obtaining Zoroark in Pokemon Black and White.

====Tower duo====
[[Image:Lugia_and_ho-oh.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Lugia and Ho-Oh]]
The first [[version mascot]]s that were also legendary Pokémon, {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} are a pair of legendary birds which formerly resided in [[Ecruteak City]] atop tall towers, leading to their designation. However, when the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]], home of Lugia, was struck by lightning, it burned to the ground, and both flew away, Lugia to make its new home in the [[Whirl Islands]] and Ho-Oh to search the world for a pure-hearted Trainer. The two are thought to be as closely related as they are polar opposites, being based on the eastern legends of the {{wp|Fènghuáng}} and {{wp|Ryūjin}}.

In the games, Lugia does not play a central role in the Generation II storyline, instead being mentioned only as having lived in Ecruteak City before the Brass Tower burned. It is found in the Whirl Islands in the Generation II games and their {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|remakes}} if the player holds a {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Silver Wing}}. It reaches prominence in the storyline of {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, where [[XD001|one]] is corrupted by [[Cipher]] to become the ultimate [[Shadow Pokémon]], unable to be purified. It is also available on [[Navel Rock]] in Generation III, as an event-exclusive legendary Pokémon.

In the anime, Lugia is featured in a central role in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', where it is revealed that {{Ash}} is the Chosen One who must help it to quell the fighting of the [[legendary birds]]. Another pair of them appeared when Ash and his friends traveled to the Whirl Islands in Johto, and through this, the anime revealed that legendary Pokémon could breed (this is untrue in the games, at least in captivity, likely to restrict players from getting a limitless number of them).

Ho-Oh has a much greater focus during Generation II, being named as the savior of the legendary beasts. It can be found, if the player has a {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Rainbow Wing}}, atop [[Bell Tower]] in the Generation II games and their remakes. It makes an appearance in {{g|Colosseum}}, as well, as a reward for purifying all Shadow Pokémon, and on [[Navel Rock]] like Lugia.

In the anime, {{an|Ho-Oh}} is notably the first legendary Pokémon that appeared (outside of the [[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master|opening animation]], at least), flying over a rainbow at the start of [[Ash Ketchum]]'s journey at the end of ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''. Ash has subsequently seen it several times over the course of his journey, but has never come face-to-face with it.

====Celebi====
[[Image:Celebi_Shrine.png|thumb|right|100px|Celebi on its shrine in [[Ilex Forest]]]]
Although it has no relation to Mew that has been revealed, {{p|Celebi}} was dubbed the "New Mew" when it was introduced in Generation II because of their similar size and stats, as well as the status of being the last in the [[National Pokédex]] as of its generation and being unobtainable through normal gameplay. Unlike Mew, however, it was not believed to be the ancestor of all Pokémon, but merely the guardian of forests, traveling through time to make sure of their purity.

In the games, Celebi is available only by event, either directly (via [[trading]] or [[Mystery Gift]]), or, in {{game|Crystal}}, through an event involving the [[GS Ball]]. This made it the first event Pokémon that was able to be captured from the wild in the games after using an event-only item, something which would continue forward even to the current generation. Celebi also makes an appearance in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, but it is unobtainable.

In the anime, Celebi takes a central role in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'' and ''[[AG155|The Green Guardian]]''. In the movie, one accidentally brings a young [[Professor Oak]] to the future when attempting to escape from a poacher, and is later captured in a [[Iron-Masked Marauder|Team Rocket member]]'s Dark Balls to be used to destroy the forest and rule the world. In the episode, another is attempting to heal after putting out a forest fire, and needs the help of Pokémon Ranger [[Solana]], as well as the anime's protagonists, to do so. A pokemon movie 10 event celebi is the only way to obtain zorua in pokemon black and white.

===Generation III===
Many more legendary Pokémon were added to the roster in [[Generation III]], with the ten new legendary Pokémon bringing the total to 21. At this point in the series, legendary Pokémon began to have a greater role in the storyline of the games, with the plot of the [[villainous teams]] introduced in this generation and the next involving the reawakening of ancient legendary Pokémon for the team's own use.

====Legendary golems====
[[Image:Regis.png|thumb|left|{{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, and {{p|Regirock}}]]
This third trio of legendary Pokémon, based on the {{wp|golem}}s of Hebrew legend, featured minimally in Hoenn-region legend. Based on the three ancient ages of humanity, the ice age, the stone age, and the iron age, the [[legendary golems]] took a back seat among the legendary Pokémon introduced in their generation, and are sometimes referred to by fans derisively as the "legendary trash cans". Truly, this legendary trio, as well as its [[trio master|master]], {{p|Regigigas}}, feature the most complicated method of in-game availability, with puzzles made of [[braille]] in the Hoenn region being the keys to unlocking their mystery.

As complex as the method in which they are obtained is the legend of the golems, which is told in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and finally completed in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. Long ago, an ancient Pokémon was said to have moved the continents into their present positions by pulling them with ropes. After it was finished, it created in its image three Pokémon: {{p|Regirock}}, from clay, {{p|Regice}}, from ice, and {{p|Registeel}}, from magma. Ancient people, seeing that the Pokémon was so powerful, sealed it away in [[Snowpoint Temple]], while those it had created were separated from it and taken to the Hoenn region, sealed in three chambers, and left in the hopes that one day, someone would unlock the chambers and be able to tame the three so as to tame Regigigas. They are available in the [[Desert Ruins]], [[Island Cave]], and [[Ancient Tomb]] in Hoenn, as well as the [[Rock Peak Ruins]], [[Iceberg Ruins]], and [[Iron Ruins]] in [[Sinnoh]] with an event {{p|Regigigas}}.

In the anime, the three legendary golems starred together guarding the [[Tree of Beginning]] in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', as well as members of {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s team in the Battle Frontier saga.

====Eon duo====
[[File:Latias Latios.png|thumb|220px|right|{{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}}]]
Another of Hoenn's minor legendary Pokémon, {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} do not feature a distinct legend behind them. Nonetheless, they are incredibly rare, with only one of the two available normally to players, and the other available through an event.

Latios and Latias take on counterpart availability in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} as well as {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, with Latios being a [[roaming Pokémon]] in Ruby and SoulSilver, and Latias doing the same in Sapphire and HeartGold. In Emerald, after the player has defeated the Elite Four, their mother will ask if the Pokémon mentioned on TV was red or blue, and depending on that, one of the two will be roaming Hoenn. The other member of the duo will be found on [[Southern Island]], accessible by [[Eon Ticket]], in Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, and in [[Pewter City]], through the [[Enigma Stone]] event, in HeartGold and SoulSilver.

In the anime, Latios and Latias were the stars of ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]'', where the two guarded the legendary city of [[Alto Mare]]. With a strong connection to the [[Soul Dew]], the two were responsible for protecting it from {{mov|Annie}} and [[Oakley]], who wished to steal it.

====Weather trio====
[[Image:GenIII_Battle.jpg|250px|thumb|right|A depiction of the cataclysmic battle between {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}}]]
The trio of super-ancient Pokémon, known for their [[weather conditions|weather-related]] [[abilities]] as the [[weather trio]], serve as the [[version mascot]]s of {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and represent the three major components of the Earth: the hydrosphere, the lithosphere, and the atmosphere. Said to shape the land and sea, respectively, {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} are among the most powerful legendary Pokémon, while {{p|Rayquaza}} prevents the two from quarreling.

During the course of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, [[Team Magma]] or [[Team Aqua]], depending on version, seek out Groudon or Kyogre, respectively, with the intention of awakening them to make more homes for Pokémon of the land or sea. Eventually, the plan goes awry, and the player is forced to defeat or capture the legendary Pokémon to stop a global disaster. In {{game|Emerald}}, instead, both teams are on the loose, intending to awaken their respective legendary Pokémon, and only with interference by the player and {{p|Rayquaza}} does the fight end up resolved.

In the anime, Groudon and Kyogre appeared in the two-part episode consisting of ''[[AG096|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG097|The Scuffle of Legends]]''. In these episodes, Team Magma and Team Aqua finally succeed in awakening the two, as in the games, though their conflict is resolved very quickly, much to the chagrin of viewers. Rayquaza appeared in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', where it fought against the pair of {{mov|Deoxys|Deoxys|7}}.

====Jirachi====
[[File:385Jirachi anime.png|thumb|left|{{p|Jirachi}} in the anime]]
One of the two event legendary Pokémon of Generation III, {{p|Jirachi}} is known to grant wishes written on the tags on its head each time it awakens: once every millennium.

In the games, Jirachi has never had a concrete location tied to it, and it cannot be captured from the wild legitimately. However, several direct transfers have been present in the history of the franchise, most notably in the form of a bonus disc released as a preview of {{g|Colosseum}} which fixes the [[Berry glitch]] present in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}.

Jirachi starred in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', where it befriended [[Max]] as the group attempted to keep it away from [[Butler]], a former [[Team Magma]] operative.

====Deoxys====
[[File:386Deoxys formes.png|thumb|right|{{p|Deoxys}} in its four Formes: Attack, Normal, Defense, Speed]]
A virus from space which mutated when shot by a laser, {{p|Deoxys}} was the first legendary Pokémon known to [[Form differences|change form]], taking different forms on in each of the [[Generation III]] games - Normal Forme in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, Attack Forme in {{game|FireRed}}, Defense Forme in {{game|LeafGreen}}, and Speed Forme in {{game|Emerald}}, and being able to change them at will in the [[Generation IV]] games with special meteorites found in [[Veilstone City]] and on {{rt|3|Kanto}}.

In the games, Deoxys is only available on [[Birth Island]] when the [[AuroraTicket]] is downloaded to FireRed, LeafGreen, or Emerald, though as with all event legendary Pokémon, it has also been available through direct download via [[Mystery Gift]].

Deoxys featured heavily in the seventh Pokémon movie, ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', where its Attack and Defense Formes were first revealed. One of the two {{mov|Deoxys|Deoxys|7}} featured befriends a boy named [[Tory Lund]], who fears Pokémon otherwise and does not realize what Deoxys is, while the other seeks out the first, concerned for its safety. Another Deoxys featured in ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys Crisis!]]'', where Deoxys's Speed Forme debuted in the anime.

===Generation IV===
Fourteen more legendary Pokémon were added in [[Generation IV]], the most of any generation so far, bringing the total to a whopping 35. Many of the legendary Pokémon of this generation have little connection to the plot of the games, instead being minor, post-League sidequests for the player to go on. Seven of the 14 introduced, even, are not in Sinnoh's regional Pokédex, appearing only in the National Dex, a first for any Pokémon.

Prior to Generation IV, 680 had been the limit on a legendary Pokémon's [[base stat]] total: this limit was set by {{p|Mewtwo}} in [[Generation I]] and was only matched - never surpassed - in Generation II and Generation III. As of Generation IV, however, the most powerful of all Pokémon in terms of base stats is no longer Mewtwo or any of its equals, but {{p|Arceus}}, the supposed creator of the Pokémon universe.

====Lake guardians====
[[File:Mesprit Azelf Uxie anime.png|thumb|right|{{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Uxie}} together]]
The [[lake guardians]], [[Sinnoh]]'s native legendary trio, represent the spirit of all consciousness, with {{p|Uxie}} embodying knowledge, {{p|Mesprit}} embodying emotion, and {{p|Azelf}} embodying willpower. According to legend, having been created by {{p|Arceus|the Original One}}, the trio have the power to tame the powerful dragons it also created.

In the games, Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf are found in the caverns of [[Lake Acuity]], [[Lake Verity]], and [[Lake Valor]], respectively, though Mesprit will roam Sinnoh after the player has encountered it, rather than battle immediately as the other two will. The trio are captured by [[Team Galactic]]'s {{tc|Commander}}s, [[Jupiter]], [[Mars]], and [[Saturn]], and subjected to the experiments of [[Charon]] to draw out the [[Red Chain]] from the gems in their bodies. Cyrus summons {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, and alone, the lake guardians' power is not enough to stop them. {{p|Giratina}} interferes and draws Cyrus into the Distortion World, where the lake guardians assist the player in navigation toward Giratina's lair.

In the anime, the lake guardians appeared, first in spirit form, in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage]]'', ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals]]'', and ''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]'', to {{an|Dawn}}, {{Ash}}, and {{an|Brock}}, respectively. They were captured by [[J]], who had been hired by [[Team Galactic]], in ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]'', and were freed by Ash, Dawn, and Brock to stop the power of Dialga and Palkia in ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]''.

====Creation trio====
[[File:Dialga-Palkia-Giratina.jpg|180px|thumb|right|Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina artwork from {{game|Platinum}}]]
The legendary creators of the Pokémon universe, the [[Creation trio]] consisting of {{p|Dialga}} of time, {{p|Palkia}} of space, and {{p|Giratina}} of antimatter, are, like the weather trio before them, the mascots of [[Sinnoh]]'s trio of games, {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

In the games, Dialga and Palkia are sought by [[Cyrus]] to destroy and then remake the universe without spirit, a thing he hates about humanity. At [[Spear Pillar]], one of the two will be able to be captured in Diamond and Pearl, depending on the game, while Giratina may be obtained after the Pokémon League has been conquered. In Platinum, however, Giratina interferes with Cyrus's planned destruction of the universe, and may be captured in its home, the [[Distortion World]], while Dialga and Palkia cannot be found until the Elite Four have been defeated.

In the anime, {{an|Dialga}} and {{an|Palkia}} appeared together, fighting, in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', while Dialga and {{an|Giratina}} appeared in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. The three appeared together, finally, in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. Dialga and Palkia were also summoned at Spear Pillar and chained by Cyrus in ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', but were freed when he escaped into another universe and the Red Chain was shattered by Ash, Dawn, Brock, and their Pokémon.

====Lunar duo====
[[File:Darkrai-Newmoon Island.png|thumb|left|{{p|Darkrai}} on [[Newmoon Island]]]]
A sidequest legendary Pokémon and an event legendary Pokémon, respectively, {{p|Cresselia}} and {{p|Darkrai}} represent two phases of the moon with opposite connotations: Darkrai represents the {{wp|new moon}}, the cause of the darkest nights and bringer of nightmares, while Cresselia represents the {{wp|crescent moon}}, a sign of hope and good dreams.

In the games, Cresselia can be found on [[Fullmoon Island]] as part of a post-League quest to rid {{tc|Sailor}} Eldrich's son of a nightmare. It will flee immediately, roaming Sinnoh and leaving behind a [[Lunar Wing]], which will heal the boy. Darkrai is found on [[Newmoon Island]], accessible only with a [[Member Card]], and can only be obtained through an event.

The lunar duo made their debuts separately, with a {{mov|Darkrai|Darkrai|10}} appearing in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', attempting to stop Dialga and Palkia's fight from destroying its home, [[Alamos Town]], and protecting [[Alice]], its friend. Cresselia first appeared in ''[[DP104|Sleepless in Pre-Battle]]'', where it fought briefly against a Darkrai.

====Sea guardians====
[[File:Manaphyphione.png|thumb|right|{{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Phione}}]]
The sea guardian Pokémon are a legendary duo that, like Mewtwo and Mew, is comprised of a parent and child. {{p|Manaphy}}, a legendary Pokémon that makes its home in warmer seas south of the known regions, bears {{p|Phione}} when bred in captivity in the known regions.

In the games, Manaphy can only be found through an event: either it may be transferred in its egg from one of the {{ga|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger}} games after activating an event in those games, or can be directly received via various Mystery Gift events. Like Jirachi, it cannot be legitimately found in the wild. Phione, of course, must be bred from a Manaphy and a {{p|Ditto}}, making it the only legendary Pokémon available only through this method.

In the anime, Manaphy debuted in ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', where, like in the games, it first appeared as an egg, and befriended {{an|May}}, who it regarded as its mother. It was the only Pokémon able to find the mysterious Temple of the Sea, [[Samiya]], and was regarded as the Prince of the Sea. For this, it was sought by [[the Phantom]], a pirate who wished to take the jewels of the Sea Crown deep in Samiya. Phione debuted under different circumstances, being found in [[Chocovine Town]] in ''[[DP113|Hold the Phione!]]'', where they were revered as bringers of good luck.

Phione is disputed by many in its status as a legendary Pokémon, as its base stat total is lower than all other legendary Pokémon, while its availability compared to others is legitimately high, being able to be bred from a Ditto with either Manaphy or Phione as many times as a player would like. Even official sources have not been consistent, with [[Pokémon.com]] changing its status repeatedly, and official guidebooks alternately naming it as legendary or not. For all intents and purposes, it is regarded by Bulbapedia to not be legendary due to the latest official source.

====Heatran====
[[File:Heatran anime.png|thumb|right|{{p|Heatran}} in the anime]]
{{p|Heatran}} is the embodiment of all volcanic activity, appearing in [[Stark Mountain]] in [[Sinnoh]], where it was said to have been born at the same time as Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina created Sinnoh at [[Spear Pillar]] and created the [[Battle Zone]]. Heatran is the first, and currently only, legendary Pokémon with a variable gender.

Heatran first appeared in the anime in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', under the control of [[Marcus]], and later appeared in ''[[DP169|Pokémon Ranger: Heatran Rescue!]]'' as part of a Pokémon Ranger rescue mission.

====Regigigas====
[[File:Regigigasanime.png|thumb|left|{{p|Regigigas}} in the anime]]
{{p|Regigigas}} is the master of the [[legendary golems]], having created them in ancient times.

In the games, Regigigas is found at [[Snowpoint Temple]], though it will not awaken unless all three of the legendary golems are in the player's party.

Regigigas appeared in the anime in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', where it attempted to stop a glacier from destroying [[Gracidea]]. Another appeared in ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]'', where it was hunted by [[J]] and defended by {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}.

====Shaymin====
[[File:Seabreak path.png|thumb|right|{{p|Shaymin}} running down [[Seabreak Path]]]]
A legendary Pokémon that has the ability to purify areas instantly and bring plant life in abundance, {{p|Shaymin}} is referred to as the Mew of Generation IV. Unlike previous event legendary Pokémon with its straight-100 base stats, however, Shaymin has the ability to change forms, between Land Forme and Sky Forme.

In the games, like Darkrai, Shaymin is catchable in the wild after an event item has been obtained: this time [[Oak's Letter]], which requests the player's help on {{rt|224|Sinnoh}}. After giving thanks to someone or something, Shaymin will appear, and will be available to be caught at the end of the [[Seabreak Path]] that appears, in the [[Flower Paradise]].

Shaymin has a central role in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', when it, as well as its Sky Forme, were officially revealed. It also has a minor role in ''[[DP168|Keeping In Top Forme!]]'' involving [[Marley]].

====Arceus====
[[File:Arceus ruins art.png|thumb|left|{{p|Arceus}} creates a Pokémon egg for {{ga|Ethan}} and {{ga|Lyra}}]]
The final Pokémon of Generation IV and the most powerful known so far, {{p|Arceus}} is, according to legend, the creator of the Pokémon universe. Born of an egg in the chaos at the beginning, Arceus's powers were awakened immediately, and from itself it made time and space, matter and antimatter, and set {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}} to guard them. It created spirit as well, setting {{p|Uxie}} in charge of knowledge, {{p|Mesprit}} in charge of emotion, and {{p|Azelf}} in charge of willpower, before falling into an eternal slumber.

Arceus can be awoken from its sleep using an [[Azure Flute]] at [[Spear Pillar]], which will open a staircase to its home, the [[Hall of Origin]]. There it can be captured, though no legitimate way of obtaining the Azure Flute has yet been released.

In the anime, {{an|Arceus}} starred in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', where it set out to destroy [[Michina]] and its people for their betrayal in ancient times. After changing history with the help of Dialga, Ash and his friends revealed to Arceus the true nature of human beings, and it left Michina in peace.

===Generation V===
Thirteen additional legendary Pokémon were added in [[Generation V]], the second largest addition to the ranks (one lower than [[Generation IV]]), totaling 48 legendary Pokémon. {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} played a large role in the storyline of Black & White, with the respective mascot Pokémon being a necessary and unavoidable capture to progress to the endgame. The rest of the Pokémon mattered little to the narrative progression and some are still unavailable legitimately, waiting instead on future events to unlock their existence.

====Victini====
{{p|Victini}} is found at the beginning of [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Unova's Pokédex]], being #000. Much like {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Shaymin}} before it, each of its base stats are 100. It is the first [[Generation V]] [[event Pokémon]] revealed and allowed to be obtained. Victini is considered the embodiment of victory. It is said that a Trainer with a Victini will win anything no matter what. Victini is the future star of [[M14|''Victini and the Black Hero'']]

====Musketeer trio====
{{p|Cobalon}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, {{p|Virizion}} are a trio of Pokémon based on the titular characters of the 1844 French novel ''{{wp|The Three Musketeers}}'', and partially on hooved mammals such as deer, oxen, and horses. According to legend, they protect Pokémon from having their habitats destroyed by humans and have been known to have attacked human castles during the Middle Ages. Like the Three Musketeers, they are considered a trio but have a fourth, younger member in the form of {{p|Keldeo}} who the other three rescued and raised after its home was destroyed by fire. All four of them can use their horns like swords, and learn their signature move, {{m|Sacred Sword}}, at level 42 (43 for {{p|Keldeo}}).

====Kami trio====
{{p|Voltolos}}, {{p|Tornelos}}, and {{p|Landlos}} are a trio of Pokémon based on Japanese deities; Fujin, god of wind, Raijin, god of thunder and lightning, and Inari, a fertility god. Together the three represent the heavens and the nourishing effect the sky has upon the earth.

====Tao trio====
[[File:Reshiram Zekrom anime.png|thumb|280px|Reshiram and Zekrom]]
{{p|Zekrom}} and {{p|Reshiram}} represent Yin and Yang, and balance. Originally, they were a single dragon that helped found the Unova region's nation. But fighting between the two brothers that founded the nation split them into two halves that constantly conflict with each other.

It is widely speculated that {{p|Kyurem}} is related to Zekrom and Reshiram due to reasons such as their types and names, in the same way Giratina turned out to be closely related to Dialga and Palkia.

====Meloetta====
{{p|Meloetta}} represents music and dance. Meloetta is similar to the Greek idea of a Muse, a goddess of creativity and inspiration.

====Genesect====
{{p|Genesect}} is an experimental creature created by Team Plasma, under [[N]], attempting to create the strongest Pokémon in existence by altering an ancient insect Pokémon with cybernetic upgrades. It uses special cassettes to make variations to its signature move, {{m|Techno Buster}}.

==Trivia==
* In all but one of the games, there appears to only be one of every legendary Pokémon, but in the {{pkmn|anime}}, there is more than one of most legendary Pokémon. This may just mean that the creators of the game intended the {{player}} to only ever happen to meet one of them canonically, and in fact there are others elsewhere which the player does not encounter.
** This may be supported by the possibility of acquiring eggs of {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}} and {{p|Giratina}} in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, and {{p|Manaphy}} in the [[Generation IV]] games.
* Each generation has introduced at least one {{type2|Psychic}} legendary Pokémon and one {{type2|Flying}} legendary Pokémon, though the only Flying-type legendary Pokémon in Generation IV gain this type only in an alternate form.
* According to interviews with [[Junichi Masuda]] in 2009, legendary Pokémon are the most difficult to design names for because Game Freak strives to make sure that the names of legendary Pokémon are universal across the different translations, so extra work must be put into their names to make sure that they work universally in all languages and don't conflict with anything else. This is consistent with the relatively small number of legendary Pokémon who have had their names changed outside of Japan (currently six: the [[legendary birds]] and the [[lake guardians]]).
* As of [[Generation V]], aside from {{p|Arceus}}'s use of [[Plates]], there has never been a {{type|Poison}} legendary Pokémon.
* Only {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Lugia}}, and {{p|Ho-Oh}} have a battle theme that is shared with no other. {{p|Mew}} has its own battle theme; however, it is a remixed version of the normal [[Kanto]] wild battle theme.
* The legendary birds of Kanto are the most available wild legendary Pokémon, able to be caught in nine main series games each ({{v2|Red and Green}}, {{v|Blue}}, {{v|Yellow}}, {{v2|FireRed and LeafGreen}}, {{v|Platinum|}}, {{v2|HeartGold and SoulSilver}}). The least available wild legendary Pokémon are {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Mew}}, which only appear in the wild in one game apiece; each encounter requires an [[event item]] to activate it. {{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Darkrai}} may also count, as the event items for the two, though existent in the games' coding, were not released to players of {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, with the Mystery Gift events only available for players of {{v2|Platinum}}.
* There is at least one spirit-like legendary Pokémon in every generation with Gen IV having the most with two. They are as follows: Gen I has Mew, Gen II has Celebi, Gen III has Jirachi, Gen IV has Manaphy and Shaymin, and Gen V has Victini.

'''Legendary Pokémon''' are a group of incredibly rare, and often very powerful {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

While in English, all are typically grouped under the banner of "legendary", there are three distinct terms in Japanese that are used to refer to them. One, '''伝説のポケモン''' ''densetsu no Pokémon'', literally "legendary Pokémon", refers to Pokémon such as {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}}, who are featured prominently in the legends of the Pokémon world. A second, '''幻のポケモン''' ''maboroshi no Pokémon'', literally "illusory Pokémon", refers to Pokémon seen so rarely, such as {{p|Mew}}, that some question their very existence. This term was translated in the [[Generation IV]] games as "mirage Pokémon", in reference to the various [[Sinnoh myths|myths of Sinnoh]], and many consider it to refer to Pokémon that are restricted to [[Nintendo event]]s, not available during the course of normal gameplay. The third and newest term is '''神話のポケモン''' ''shinwa no Pokémon'', literally "mythical Pokémon", which refers to the Pokémon which are spoken of as the creators of the Sinnoh region.

==Characteristics of legendary Pokémon==

===Statistical averages{{tt|*|Considering Alternate Formes as seperate Pokémon}}===
{{BaseStatNoCat|
HP=92.89 |
Attack=86.11 |
Defense=85.28 |
SpAtk=124.45 |
SpDef=90.65 |
Speed=99.72 }}

Aside from the high [[stats]] shared by most legendary Pokémon, many of them are only available once to the {{player}} in a given save file, and to obtain another legitimately, one must [[trade]] with another game. The [[gender]] of most legendary Pokémon is unknown (though there are seven notable exceptions in {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Cresselia}}, {{p|Tornelos}}, {{p|Voltolos}}, and {{p|Landlos}}), and all but {{p|Phione}} and {{p|Manaphy}} are unable to breed in captivity, even with {{p|Ditto}}.

No legendary Pokémon is known to [[evolution|evolve]], though many are part of a [[legendary trio]] or [[legendary duo]]. Much like [[starter Pokémon]] appear at the beginning of each [[regional Pokédex]] and their generation's portion of the [[National Pokédex]], legendary Pokémon typically appear at the very end of them.

===In the anime===
Legendary Pokémon typically make their anime debut in a {{pkmn|movie}}, rather than first appearing in a normal episode. Many are held in a much higher regard than in the games, with their powers seen as being almost {{wp|deity|godlike}}. They are often only seen by special {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, usually the anime's main protagonist, [[Ash Ketchum]], who have a special connection to them. [[Villainous teams]] and others with bad intentions often seek them out, both due to their rarity as well as their superior power.

It has been shown that the capture of certain legendary Pokémon may lead to great catastrophe, due to their often pivotal role in nature. Some speculate, however, that if a Trainer were to "play by the rules", encountering and befriending the legendary Pokémon just the same as they would any other Pokémon, the results would not be as chaotic, if at all. This theory possibly has some weight, as {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}} befriended and fought official {{pkmn|battle}}s with an {{TP|Noland|Articuno}}, while [[Lawrence III]]'s capture of {{mov|Legendary birds|Zapdos|2}} and {{mov|Legendary birds|Moltres|2}} in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' was one of intended dominance and collection instead. It should be noted, however, that Noland was never seen to have had Articuno in a Poké Ball, and at the same time, he is a rather skilled Trainer. It should also be noted that in some cases a legendary Pokémon can be kept in a Poké Ball. For example, {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}} in the anime owned the three Regis in Poké Balls and trained them and there were no chaotic events that followed. [[Tobias]] is another Trainer who has been shown to have legendary Pokémon in Poké Balls.

Many legendary Pokémon are shown to breed in the wild, as seen with {{p|Lugia}}, while none are immortal nor invincible, as seen by the death of {{mov|Celebi|Celebi|4}} and the injury of {{an|Arceus}}. Very few, in fact, are often considered unique, with only {{an|Mewtwo}} known to be (due to the [[The Birth of Mewtwo|circumstances of its creation]]) and {{an|Arceus}}, {{an|Dialga}}, {{an|Palkia}}, and {{an|Giratina}} assumed to be, due to their role in the creation of the universe.

==List of legendary Pokémon==
Of the {{numpkmn}} Pokémon species, 48 are considered to be legendary, while several more have certain characteristics of legendary Pokémon. Each [[generation]] has introduced at least one legendary trio and one legendary duo.

===Generation I===
The legendary Pokémon introduced in [[Generation I]] can be broken into two groups: the [[legendary birds]] and the Mew duo.

====Legendary birds====
[[File:Legendary birds.png|thumb|right|270px|{{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Articuno}}, and {{p|Moltres}}. Art by [[Mitsuhiro Arita]].]]
The three [[legendary birds]], also known as the Winged Mirages, are the resident [[legendary trio]] of the [[Kanto]] region. Each of them is based on a mythical bird, and each is associated with a {{wp|season}} (though none of the three is associated with autumn).

In the games, all three are available in the Kanto region in all of its appearances except for [[Generation II]]. {{p|Articuno}} takes up residence in the [[Seafoam Islands]] in the south, {{p|Zapdos}} in the [[Power Plant]] (next to it in Generation IV) in the east, and {{p|Moltres}} in a variety of places, {{ka|Victory Road}}, [[Mt. Ember]], or [[Mt. Silver]], depending on the generation. In Generation IV, they are also found [[roaming Pokémon|roaming]] [[Sinnoh]], but only in {{game|Platinum}}.

In the anime, the legendary birds appear together in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', where they rule over the islands surrounding [[Shamouti Island]]. If they are disturbed and begin to fight, only {{mov|Lugia|Lugia|2}} can stop them, though it will fail without additional help from the Chosen One. Separately, Articuno appears in ''[[EP189|Freeze Frame]]'', ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]'', and ''[[AG136|The Symbol Life]]'', while Zapdos appears in ''[[EP242|As Clear As Crystal]]'', ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', and ''[[DP094|Doc Brock!]]'', and Moltres appears in ''[[EP074|All Fired Up]]'' and ''[[SS018|The Search for the Legend]]''.

====Mew duo====
[[Image:Mewtwo and Mew.png|thumb|250px|left|{{p|Mewtwo}} and {{p|Mew}} in [[M01|the first movie]].]]
The Mew duo, so named because of their similar genetic structure and Mewtwo's origin as an enhanced clone of Mew, are a pair of catlike Pokémon which are believed by many to be among the most rare and powerful Pokémon that exist.

In the games, {{p|Mew}} is only mentioned in years-old journals found in the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} on [[Cinnabar Island]]. It was the first [[event]]-exclusive Pokémon, being otherwise available only by [[Mew glitch|glitching the game]] or [[cheating]]. One is available in the wild on [[Faraway Island]], an event area in {{game|Emerald}}, the only time it is legitimately able to be caught from the wild.

Mew appears in the anime in both [[M01|the first movie]] and [[M08|the eighth movie]]. In the first, it appears to fight against Mewtwo, while in the second, its status as the Pokémon from which life began is explored.

In the games, {{p|Mewtwo}} is revealed to have been cloned from Mew in the journals in the Pokémon Mansion. Unlike most Pokémon, however, Mew gave live birth to Mewtwo, rather than laying an {{pkmn|egg}} and Mewtwo hatching from it. Mewtwo was too powerful, however, and it escapes from the Pokémon Mansion, destroying it in the process. Mewtwo then makes its home in [[Cerulean Cave]], where all kinds of powerful Pokémon live.

In the anime, {{an|Mewtwo}} was featured prominently, appearing in several episodes of the [[original series]], [[M01|the first movie]], and [[Mewtwo Returns|the first special episode]]. Mewtwo's origin is slightly different as well, with [[Team Rocket]] boss [[Giovanni]] funding a group of scientists to create an enhanced clone of {{p|Mew}} for his own use. Though Mewtwo is initially a very angry Pokémon, viewing all humans as evil due to the acts of the scientists and Giovanni, eventually, when [[Ash Ketchum]] sacrifices himself to stop the fighting between Mew and Mewtwo, Mewtwo's heart softens, and he learns that some humans do care about their, and all, Pokémon. Meeting up with Ash again, Mewtwo is further shown that, although it is a genetically-enhanced clone of Mew, it and the other clones are no different than normal Pokémon, and because it erased Ash and his friends' memory at the end of their first meeting, realizes that Ash himself truly does care for others, even if he doesn't know them.

Mewtwo is known in the anime to travel around the world, traversing rooftops at night, and living its life free. It occasionally appears in anime openings, sometimes with Mew, and sometimes alone.

===Generation II===
More legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation II]], adding six more for a running total of 11. The legendary Pokémon introduced in this generation down can be separated into three groups.

====Legendary beasts====
[[File:Entei Raikou Suicune.png|thumb|right|250px|{{ga|Lyra}} and [[Eusine]] discover the legendary beasts in the basement of the [[Burned Tower]].]]
Like the legendary birds of the previous generation, a second trio of similar types was introduced in the neighboring [[Johto]] region. These [[legendary beasts]], so named because their features are reminiscent of both {{wp|canine}} and {{wp|feline}} animals, were trapped in the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]] when it was struck by lightning and burned to the ground, resulting in their death. The trio was revived by the power of {{p|Ho-Oh}}, and now [[roaming Pokémon|roam across the land]] because of their great power.

In the games, more than one of each exists, with only the trio that roams Johto after being discovered in Brass Tower's basement during [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] being that of the legend. Each was captured and changed into a [[Shadow Pokémon]] by [[Cipher]] in {{g|Colosseum}}, while one of the three, depending on the player's [[starter Pokémon]] choice, roams Kanto in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, {{p|Entei}} for {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Raikou}} for {{p|Squirtle}}, and {{p|Suicune}} for {{p|Charmander}}.

In the anime, the legendary beasts did not appear together until [[M13|the thirteenth movie]], despite being introduced in Generation II. It appears that an initial plan for the three Johto-era {{pkmn|movie}}s was to have each feature one of the legendary beasts in a central role, with {{mov|Entei|Entei|3}} taking a central role in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]'' and {{mov|Suicune|Suicune|4}} taking the stage in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''. This did not pan out, however, possibly due to the canning of Johto's {{p|Celebi}} plotline, and Raikou was relegated to a role in ''[[The Legend of Thunder]]'', featuring anime characters based on {{ga|Ethan}} and {{ga|Kris}}, rather than [[M05|the fifth movie]], which focused on legendary Pokémon from the then-upcoming [[Generation III]] instead.

Each of the beasts made an episodic appearance, as well, with Entei appearing in ''[[EP259|Entei at Your Own Risk]]'', Raikou briefly appearing in ''[[EP180|Houndoom's Special Delivery]]'', and Suicune having the most prominence (as in the games) through its appearance in ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'Dile]]'', ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll]]'', and ''[[DP028|Drifloon On the Wind!]]''. The crown beasts from movie 13 take a central role in obtaining Zoroark in Pokemon Black and White.

====Tower duo====
[[Image:Lugia_and_ho-oh.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Lugia and Ho-Oh]]
The first [[version mascot]]s that were also legendary Pokémon, {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} are a pair of legendary birds which formerly resided in [[Ecruteak City]] atop tall towers, leading to their designation. However, when the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]], home of Lugia, was struck by lightning, it burned to the ground, and both flew away, Lugia to make its new home in the [[Whirl Islands]] and Ho-Oh to search the world for a pure-hearted Trainer. The two are thought to be as closely related as they are polar opposites, being based on the eastern legends of the {{wp|Fènghuáng}} and {{wp|Ryūjin}}.

In the games, Lugia does not play a central role in the Generation II storyline, instead being mentioned only as having lived in Ecruteak City before the Brass Tower burned. It is found in the Whirl Islands in the Generation II games and their {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|remakes}} if the player holds a {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Silver Wing}}. It reaches prominence in the storyline of {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, where [[XD001|one]] is corrupted by [[Cipher]] to become the ultimate [[Shadow Pokémon]], unable to be purified. It is also available on [[Navel Rock]] in Generation III, as an event-exclusive legendary Pokémon.

In the anime, Lugia is featured in a central role in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', where it is revealed that {{Ash}} is the Chosen One who must help it to quell the fighting of the [[legendary birds]]. Another pair of them appeared when Ash and his friends traveled to the Whirl Islands in Johto, and through this, the anime revealed that legendary Pokémon could breed (this is untrue in the games, at least in captivity, likely to restrict players from getting a limitless number of them).

Ho-Oh has a much greater focus during Generation II, being named as the savior of the legendary beasts. It can be found, if the player has a {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Rainbow Wing}}, atop [[Bell Tower]] in the Generation II games and their remakes. It makes an appearance in {{g|Colosseum}}, as well, as a reward for purifying all Shadow Pokémon, and on [[Navel Rock]] like Lugia.

In the anime, {{an|Ho-Oh}} is notably the first legendary Pokémon that appeared (outside of the [[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master|opening animation]], at least), flying over a rainbow at the start of [[Ash Ketchum]]'s journey at the end of ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''. Ash has subsequently seen it several times over the course of his journey, but has never come face-to-face with it.

====Celebi====
[[Image:Celebi_Shrine.png|thumb|right|100px|Celebi on its shrine in [[Ilex Forest]]]]
Although it has no relation to Mew that has been revealed, {{p|Celebi}} was dubbed the "New Mew" when it was introduced in Generation II because of their similar size and stats, as well as the status of being the last in the [[National Pokédex]] as of its generation and being unobtainable through normal gameplay. Unlike Mew, however, it was not believed to be the ancestor of all Pokémon, but merely the guardian of forests, traveling through time to make sure of their purity.

In the games, Celebi is available only by event, either directly (via [[trading]] or [[Mystery Gift]]), or, in {{game|Crystal}}, through an event involving the [[GS Ball]]. This made it the first event Pokémon that was able to be captured from the wild in the games after using an event-only item, something which would continue forward even to the current generation. Celebi also makes an appearance in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, but it is unobtainable.

In the anime, Celebi takes a central role in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'' and ''[[AG155|The Green Guardian]]''. In the movie, one accidentally brings a young [[Professor Oak]] to the future when attempting to escape from a poacher, and is later captured in a [[Iron-Masked Marauder|Team Rocket member]]'s Dark Balls to be used to destroy the forest and rule the world. In the episode, another is attempting to heal after putting out a forest fire, and needs the help of Pokémon Ranger [[Solana]], as well as the anime's protagonists, to do so.

===Generation III===
Many more legendary Pokémon were added to the roster in [[Generation III]], with the ten new legendary Pokémon bringing the total to 21. At this point in the series, legendary Pokémon began to have a greater role in the storyline of the games, with the plot of the [[villainous teams]] introduced in this generation and the next involving the reawakening of ancient legendary Pokémon for the team's own use.

====Legendary golems====
[[Image:Regis.png|thumb|left|{{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, and {{p|Regirock}}]]
This third trio of legendary Pokémon, based on the {{wp|golem}}s of Hebrew legend, featured minimally in Hoenn-region legend. Based on the three ancient ages of humanity, the ice age, the stone age, and the iron age, the [[legendary golems]] took a back seat among the legendary Pokémon introduced in their generation, and are sometimes referred to by fans derisively as the "legendary trash cans". Truly, this legendary trio, as well as its [[trio master|master]], {{p|Regigigas}}, feature the most complicated method of in-game availability, with puzzles made of [[braille]] in the Hoenn region being the keys to unlocking their mystery.

As complex as the method in which they are obtained is the legend of the golems, which is told in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and finally completed in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. Long ago, an ancient Pokémon was said to have moved the continents into their present positions by pulling them with ropes. After it was finished, it created in its image three Pokémon: {{p|Regirock}}, from clay, {{p|Regice}}, from ice, and {{p|Registeel}}, from magma. Ancient people, seeing that the Pokémon was so powerful, sealed it away in [[Snowpoint Temple]], while those it had created were separated from it and taken to the Hoenn region, sealed in three chambers, and left in the hopes that one day, someone would unlock the chambers and be able to tame the three so as to tame Regigigas. They are available in the [[Desert Ruins]], [[Island Cave]], and [[Ancient Tomb]] in Hoenn, as well as the [[Rock Peak Ruins]], [[Iceberg Ruins]], and [[Iron Ruins]] in [[Sinnoh]] with an event {{p|Regigigas}}.

In the anime, the three legendary golems starred together guarding the [[Tree of Beginning]] in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', as well as members of {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s team in the Battle Frontier saga.

====Eon duo====
[[File:Latias Latios.png|thumb|220px|right|{{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}}]]
Another of Hoenn's minor legendary Pokémon, {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} do not feature a distinct legend behind them. Nonetheless, they are incredibly rare, with only one of the two available normally to players, and the other available through an event.

Latios and Latias take on counterpart availability in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} as well as {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, with Latios being a [[roaming Pokémon]] in Ruby and SoulSilver, and Latias doing the same in Sapphire and HeartGold. In Emerald, after the player has defeated the Elite Four, their mother will ask if the Pokémon mentioned on TV was red or blue, and depending on that, one of the two will be roaming Hoenn. The other member of the duo will be found on [[Southern Island]], accessible by [[Eon Ticket]], in Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, and in [[Pewter City]], through the [[Enigma Stone]] event, in HeartGold and SoulSilver.

In the anime, Latios and Latias were the stars of ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]'', where the two guarded the legendary city of [[Alto Mare]]. With a strong connection to the [[Soul Dew]], the two were responsible for protecting it from {{mov|Annie}} and [[Oakley]], who wished to steal it.

====Weather trio====
[[Image:GenIII_Battle.jpg|250px|thumb|right|A depiction of the cataclysmic battle between {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}}]]
The trio of super-ancient Pokémon, known for their [[weather conditions|weather-related]] [[abilities]] as the [[weather trio]], serve as the [[version mascot]]s of {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and represent the three major components of the Earth: the hydrosphere, the lithosphere, and the atmosphere. Said to shape the land and sea, respectively, {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} are among the most powerful legendary Pokémon, while {{p|Rayquaza}} prevents the two from quarreling.

During the course of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, [[Team Magma]] or [[Team Aqua]], depending on version, seek out Groudon or Kyogre, respectively, with the intention of awakening them to make more homes for Pokémon of the land or sea. Eventually, the plan goes awry, and the player is forced to defeat or capture the legendary Pokémon to stop a global disaster. In {{game|Emerald}}, instead, both teams are on the loose, intending to awaken their respective legendary Pokémon, and only with interference by the player and {{p|Rayquaza}} does the fight end up resolved.

In the anime, Groudon and Kyogre appeared in the two-part episode consisting of ''[[AG096|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG097|The Scuffle of Legends]]''. In these episodes, Team Magma and Team Aqua finally succeed in awakening the two, as in the games, though their conflict is resolved very quickly, much to the chagrin of viewers. Rayquaza appeared in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', where it fought against the pair of {{mov|Deoxys|Deoxys|7}}.

====Jirachi====
[[File:385Jirachi anime.png|thumb|left|{{p|Jirachi}} in the anime]]
One of the two event legendary Pokémon of Generation III, {{p|Jirachi}} is known to grant wishes written on the tags on its head each time it awakens: once every millennium.

In the games, Jirachi has never had a concrete location tied to it, and it cannot be captured from the wild legitimately. However, several direct transfers have been present in the history of the franchise, most notably in the form of a bonus disc released as a preview of {{g|Colosseum}} which fixes the [[Berry glitch]] present in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}.

Jirachi starred in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', where it befriended [[Max]] as the group attempted to keep it away from [[Butler]], a former [[Team Magma]] operative.

====Deoxys====
[[File:386Deoxys formes.png|thumb|right|{{p|Deoxys}} in its four Formes: Attack, Normal, Defense, Speed]]
A virus from space which mutated when shot by a laser, {{p|Deoxys}} was the first legendary Pokémon known to [[Form differences|change form]], taking different forms on in each of the [[Generation III]] games - Normal Forme in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, Attack Forme in {{game|FireRed}}, Defense Forme in {{game|LeafGreen}}, and Speed Forme in {{game|Emerald}}, and being able to change them at will in the [[Generation IV]] games with special meteorites found in [[Veilstone City]] and on {{rt|3|Kanto}}.

In the games, Deoxys is only available on [[Birth Island]] when the [[AuroraTicket]] is downloaded to FireRed, LeafGreen, or Emerald, though as with all event legendary Pokémon, it has also been available through direct download via [[Mystery Gift]].

Deoxys featured heavily in the seventh Pokémon movie, ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', where its Attack and Defense Formes were first revealed. One of the two {{mov|Deoxys|Deoxys|7}} featured befriends a boy named [[Tory Lund]], who fears Pokémon otherwise and does not realize what Deoxys is, while the other seeks out the first, concerned for its safety. Another Deoxys featured in ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys Crisis!]]'', where Deoxys's Speed Forme debuted in the anime.

===Generation IV===
Fourteen more legendary Pokémon were added in [[Generation IV]], the most of any generation so far, bringing the total to a whopping 35. Many of the legendary Pokémon of this generation have little connection to the plot of the games, instead being minor, post-League sidequests for the player to go on. Seven of the 14 introduced, even, are not in Sinnoh's regional Pokédex, appearing only in the National Dex, a first for any Pokémon.

Prior to Generation IV, 680 had been the limit on a legendary Pokémon's [[base stat]] total: this limit was set by {{p|Mewtwo}} in [[Generation I]] and was only matched - never surpassed - in Generation II and Generation III. As of Generation IV, however, the most powerful of all Pokémon in terms of base stats is no longer Mewtwo or any of its equals, but {{p|Arceus}}, the supposed creator of the Pokémon universe.

====Lake guardians====
[[File:Mesprit Azelf Uxie anime.png|thumb|right|{{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Uxie}} together]]
The [[lake guardians]], [[Sinnoh]]'s native legendary trio, represent the spirit of all consciousness, with {{p|Uxie}} embodying knowledge, {{p|Mesprit}} embodying emotion, and {{p|Azelf}} embodying willpower. According to legend, having been created by {{p|Arceus|the Original One}}, the trio have the power to tame the powerful dragons it also created.

In the games, Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf are found in the caverns of [[Lake Acuity]], [[Lake Verity]], and [[Lake Valor]], respectively, though Mesprit will roam Sinnoh after the player has encountered it, rather than battle immediately as the other two will. The trio are captured by [[Team Galactic]]'s {{tc|Commander}}s, [[Jupiter]], [[Mars]], and [[Saturn]], and subjected to the experiments of [[Charon]] to draw out the [[Red Chain]] from the gems in their bodies. Cyrus summons {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, and alone, the lake guardians' power is not enough to stop them. {{p|Giratina}} interferes and draws Cyrus into the Distortion World, where the lake guardians assist the player in navigation toward Giratina's lair.

In the anime, the lake guardians appeared, first in spirit form, in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage]]'', ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals]]'', and ''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]'', to {{an|Dawn}}, {{Ash}}, and {{an|Brock}}, respectively. They were captured by [[J]], who had been hired by [[Team Galactic]], in ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]'', and were freed by Ash, Dawn, and Brock to stop the power of Dialga and Palkia in ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]''.

====Creation trio====
[[File:Dialga-Palkia-Giratina.jpg|180px|thumb|right|Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina artwork from {{game|Platinum}}]]
The legendary creators of the Pokémon universe, the [[Creation trio]] consisting of {{p|Dialga}} of time, {{p|Palkia}} of space, and {{p|Giratina}} of antimatter, are, like the weather trio before them, the mascots of [[Sinnoh]]'s trio of games, {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

In the games, Dialga and Palkia are sought by [[Cyrus]] to destroy and then remake the universe without spirit, a thing he hates about humanity. At [[Spear Pillar]], one of the two will be able to be captured in Diamond and Pearl, depending on the game, while Giratina may be obtained after the Pokémon League has been conquered. In Platinum, however, Giratina interferes with Cyrus's planned destruction of the universe, and may be captured in its home, the [[Distortion World]], while Dialga and Palkia cannot be found until the Elite Four have been defeated.

In the anime, {{an|Dialga}} and {{an|Palkia}} appeared together, fighting, in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', while Dialga and {{an|Giratina}} appeared in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. The three appeared together, finally, in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. Dialga and Palkia were also summoned at Spear Pillar and chained by Cyrus in ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', but were freed when he escaped into another universe and the Red Chain was shattered by Ash, Dawn, Brock, and their Pokémon.

====Lunar duo====
[[File:Darkrai-Newmoon Island.png|thumb|left|{{p|Darkrai}} on [[Newmoon Island]]]]
A sidequest legendary Pokémon and an event legendary Pokémon, respectively, {{p|Cresselia}} and {{p|Darkrai}} represent two phases of the moon with opposite connotations: Darkrai represents the {{wp|new moon}}, the cause of the darkest nights and bringer of nightmares, while Cresselia represents the {{wp|crescent moon}}, a sign of hope and good dreams.

In the games, Cresselia can be found on [[Fullmoon Island]] as part of a post-League quest to rid {{tc|Sailor}} Eldrich's son of a nightmare. It will flee immediately, roaming Sinnoh and leaving behind a [[Lunar Wing]], which will heal the boy. Darkrai is found on [[Newmoon Island]], accessible only with a [[Member Card]], and can only be obtained through an event.

The lunar duo made their debuts separately, with a {{mov|Darkrai|Darkrai|10}} appearing in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', attempting to stop Dialga and Palkia's fight from destroying its home, [[Alamos Town]], and protecting [[Alice]], its friend. Cresselia first appeared in ''[[DP104|Sleepless in Pre-Battle]]'', where it fought briefly against a Darkrai.

====Sea guardians====
[[File:Manaphyphione.png|thumb|right|{{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Phione}}]]
The sea guardian Pokémon are a legendary duo that, like Mewtwo and Mew, is comprised of a parent and child. {{p|Manaphy}}, a legendary Pokémon that makes its home in warmer seas south of the known regions, bears {{p|Phione}} when bred in captivity in the known regions.

In the games, Manaphy can only be found through an event: either it may be transferred in its egg from one of the {{ga|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger}} games after activating an event in those games, or can be directly received via various Mystery Gift events. Like Jirachi, it cannot be legitimately found in the wild. Phione, of course, must be bred from a Manaphy and a {{p|Ditto}}, making it the only legendary Pokémon available only through this method.

In the anime, Manaphy debuted in ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', where, like in the games, it first appeared as an egg, and befriended {{an|May}}, who it regarded as its mother. It was the only Pokémon able to find the mysterious Temple of the Sea, [[Samiya]], and was regarded as the Prince of the Sea. For this, it was sought by [[the Phantom]], a pirate who wished to take the jewels of the Sea Crown deep in Samiya. Phione debuted under different circumstances, being found in [[Chocovine Town]] in ''[[DP113|Hold the Phione!]]'', where they were revered as bringers of good luck.

Phione is disputed by many in its status as a legendary Pokémon, as its base stat total is lower than all other legendary Pokémon, while its availability compared to others is legitimately high, being able to be bred from a Ditto with either Manaphy or Phione as many times as a player would like. Even official sources have not been consistent, with [[Pokémon.com]] changing its status repeatedly, and official guidebooks alternately naming it as legendary or not. For all intents and purposes, it is regarded by Bulbapedia to not be legendary due to the latest official source.

====Heatran====
[[File:Heatran anime.png|thumb|right|{{p|Heatran}} in the anime]]
{{p|Heatran}} is the embodiment of all volcanic activity, appearing in [[Stark Mountain]] in [[Sinnoh]], where it was said to have been born at the same time as Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina created Sinnoh at [[Spear Pillar]] and created the [[Battle Zone]]. Heatran is the first, and currently only, legendary Pokémon with a variable gender.

Heatran first appeared in the anime in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', under the control of [[Marcus]], and later appeared in ''[[DP169|Pokémon Ranger: Heatran Rescue!]]'' as part of a Pokémon Ranger rescue mission.

====Regigigas====
[[File:Regigigasanime.png|thumb|left|{{p|Regigigas}} in the anime]]
{{p|Regigigas}} is the master of the [[legendary golems]], having created them in ancient times.

In the games, Regigigas is found at [[Snowpoint Temple]], though it will not awaken unless all three of the legendary golems are in the player's party.

Regigigas appeared in the anime in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', where it attempted to stop a glacier from destroying [[Gracidea]]. Another appeared in ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]'', where it was hunted by [[J]] and defended by {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}.

====Shaymin====
[[File:Seabreak path.png|thumb|right|{{p|Shaymin}} running down [[Seabreak Path]]]]
A legendary Pokémon that has the ability to purify areas instantly and bring plant life in abundance, {{p|Shaymin}} is referred to as the Mew of Generation IV. Unlike previous event legendary Pokémon with its straight-100 base stats, however, Shaymin has the ability to change forms, between Land Forme and Sky Forme.

In the games, like Darkrai, Shaymin is catchable in the wild after an event item has been obtained: this time [[Oak's Letter]], which requests the player's help on {{rt|224|Sinnoh}}. After giving thanks to someone or something, Shaymin will appear, and will be available to be caught at the end of the [[Seabreak Path]] that appears, in the [[Flower Paradise]].

Shaymin has a central role in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', when it, as well as its Sky Forme, were officially revealed. It also has a minor role in ''[[DP168|Keeping In Top Forme!]]'' involving [[Marley]].

====Arceus====
[[File:Arceus ruins art.png|thumb|left|{{p|Arceus}} creates a Pokémon egg for {{ga|Ethan}} and {{ga|Lyra}}]]
The final Pokémon of Generation IV and the most powerful known so far, {{p|Arceus}} is, according to legend, the creator of the Pokémon universe. Born of an egg in the chaos at the beginning, Arceus's powers were awakened immediately, and from itself it made time and space, matter and antimatter, and set {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}} to guard them. It created spirit as well, setting {{p|Uxie}} in charge of knowledge, {{p|Mesprit}} in charge of emotion, and {{p|Azelf}} in charge of willpower, before falling into an eternal slumber.

Arceus can be awoken from its sleep using an [[Azure Flute]] at [[Spear Pillar]], which will open a staircase to its home, the [[Hall of Origin]]. There it can be captured, though no legitimate way of obtaining the Azure Flute has yet been released.

In the anime, {{an|Arceus}} starred in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', where it set out to destroy [[Michina]] and its people for their betrayal in ancient times. After changing history with the help of Dialga, Ash and his friends revealed to Arceus the true nature of human beings, and it left Michina in peace.

===Generation V===
Thirteen additional legendary Pokémon were added in [[Generation V]], the second largest addition to the ranks (one lower than [[Generation IV]]), totaling 48 legendary Pokémon. {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} played a large role in the storyline of Black & White, with the respective mascot Pokémon being a necessary and unavoidable capture to progress to the endgame. The rest of the Pokémon mattered little to the narrative progression and some are still unavailable legitimately, waiting instead on future events to unlock their existence.

====Victini====
{{p|Victini}} is found at the beginning of [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Unova's Pokédex]], being #000. Much like {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Shaymin}} before it, each of its base stats are 100. It is the first [[Generation V]] [[event Pokémon]] revealed and allowed to be obtained. Victini is considered the embodiment of victory. It is said that a Trainer with a Victini will win anything no matter what. Victini is the future star of [[M14|''Victini and the Black Hero'']]

====Musketeer trio====
{{p|Cobalon}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, {{p|Virizion}} are a trio of Pokémon based on the titular characters of the 1844 French novel ''{{wp|The Three Musketeers}}'', and partially on hooved mammals such as deer, oxen, and horses. According to legend, they protect Pokémon from having their habitats destroyed by humans and have been known to have attacked human castles during the Middle Ages. Like the Three Musketeers, they are considered a trio but have a fourth, younger member in the form of {{p|Keldeo}} who the other three rescued and raised after its home was destroyed by fire. All four of them can use their horns like swords, and learn their signature move, {{m|Sacred Sword}}, at level 42 (43 for {{p|Keldeo}}).

====Kami trio====
{{p|Voltolos}}, {{p|Tornelos}}, and {{p|Landlos}} are a trio of Pokémon based on Japanese deities; Fujin, god of wind, Raijin, god of thunder and lightning, and Inari, a fertility god. Together the three represent the heavens and the nourishing effect the sky has upon the earth.

====Tao trio====
[[File:Reshiram Zekrom anime.png|thumb|280px|Reshiram and Zekrom]]
{{p|Zekrom}} and {{p|Reshiram}} represent Yin and Yang, and balance. Originally, they were a single dragon that helped found the Unova region's nation. But fighting between the two brothers that founded the nation split them into two halves that constantly conflict with each other.

It is widely speculated that {{p|Kyurem}} is related to Zekrom and Reshiram due to reasons such as their types and names, in the same way Giratina turned out to be closely related to Dialga and Palkia.

====Meloetta====
{{p|Meloetta}} represents music and dance. Meloetta is similar to the Greek idea of a Muse, a goddess of creativity and inspiration.

====Genesect====
{{p|Genesect}} is an experimental creature created by Team Plasma, under [[N]], attempting to create the strongest Pokémon in existence by altering an ancient insect Pokémon with cybernetic upgrades. It uses special cassettes to make variations to its signature move, {{m|Techno Buster}}.

==Trivia==
* In all but one of the games, there appears to only be one of every legendary Pokémon, but in the {{pkmn|anime}}, there is more than one of most legendary Pokémon. This may just mean that the creators of the game intended the {{player}} to only ever happen to meet one of them canonically, and in fact there are others elsewhere which the player does not encounter.
** This may be supported by the possibility of acquiring eggs of {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}} and {{p|Giratina}} in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, and {{p|Manaphy}} in the [[Generation IV]] games.
* Each generation has introduced at least one {{type2|Psychic}} legendary Pokémon and one {{type2|Flying}} legendary Pokémon, though the only Flying-type legendary Pokémon in Generation IV gain this type only in an alternate form.
* According to interviews with [[Junichi Masuda]] in 2009, legendary Pokémon are the most difficult to design names for because Game Freak strives to make sure that the names of legendary Pokémon are universal across the different translations, so extra work must be put into their names to make sure that they work universally in all languages and don't conflict with anything else. This is consistent with the relatively small number of legendary Pokémon who have had their names changed outside of Japan (currently six: the [[legendary birds]] and the [[lake guardians]]).
* As of [[Generation V]], aside from {{p|Arceus}}'s use of [[Plates]], there has never been a {{type|Poison}} legendary Pokémon.
* Only {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Lugia}}, and {{p|Ho-Oh}} have a battle theme that is shared with no other. {{p|Mew}} has its own battle theme; however, it is a remixed version of the normal [[Kanto]] wild battle theme.
* The legendary birds of Kanto are the most available wild legendary Pokémon, able to be caught in nine main series games each ({{v2|Red and Green}}, {{v|Blue}}, {{v|Yellow}}, {{v2|FireRed and LeafGreen}}, {{v|Platinum|}}, {{v2|HeartGold and SoulSilver}}). The least available wild legendary Pokémon are {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Mew}}, which only appear in the wild in one game apiece; each encounter requires an [[event item]] to activate it. {{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Darkrai}} may also count, as the event items for the two, though existent in the games' coding, were not released to players of {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, with the Mystery Gift events only available for players of {{v2|Platinum}}.
* There is at least one spirit-like legendary Pokémon in every generation with Gen IV having the most with two. They are as follows: Gen I has Mew, Gen II has Celebi, Gen III has Jirachi, Gen IV has Manaphy and Shaymin, and Gen V has Victini.

Lake guardians

2010-10-23T20:24:31Z

Pokemaniac72: /* Trivia */

[[File:Lake guardians anime.png|thumb|right|Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf]]
The '''lake guardians''', sometimes referred to as the '''lake trio''' or the '''legendary pixies''', is a term used to describe the [[legendary trio]] residing in the three lakes of [[Sinnoh]]: {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}. They are meant to represent knowledge, emotion, and willpower, respectively. They are based on the {{wp|Imperial Regalia of Japan}}: the {{wp|Yata no Kagami}} (wisdom), {{wp|Yasakani no Magatama}} (benevolence), and {{wp|Kusanagi}} (valor).

Unlike previous trios, all three of the lake trio are of a single type, the {{type2|Psychic}}, though like the others, they share an [[ability]]: {{a|Levitate}}. According to [[Sinnoh myths|legend]], when {{p|Arceus}} created the universe it created Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf, and therefore is believed to be their [[Trio master|master]]. According to one of Azelf's Pokédex entries, all three of them were born from the same egg.

It is interesting to note that each of the members of the lake trio has one of the qualities of the {{wp|Abrahamic God}}: Uxie is omniscient, Mesprit is omnipresent, and Azelf is omnipotent. They could also be equated to, respectively, the Greek/Roman deities of {{wp|Athena}}/{{wp|Minerva}}, {{wp|Poseidon}}/[[wp:Neptune (mythology)|Neptune]], and {{wp|Zeus}}/[[wp:Jupiter (mythology)|Jupiter]]. Another parallel for the trio rests within {{wp|Norse Mythology}}. {{wp|Odin}} along with his brothers {{wp|Vili and Vé}} bestow upon {{wp|Ask and Embala}} various corporeal and spiritual gifts similar to those the trio represent. Odin gave soul and life; Vili gave wit (intelligence) and sense of touch; and Vé gave countenance (appearance, facial expression), speech, hearing, and sight. It should also be noted that parts of their name come from fantasy creatures, {{wp|pixie}}s, {{wp|sprite}}s and {{wp|elf|elves}}, respectively. The other parts of their names come from pronouns: you ('''U'''xie), me ('''Me'''sprit), and us ('''Az'''elf).

The members of the lake trio are tied for the lightest legendary Pokémon, and, tied with {{p|Rotom}}, are second for the lightest of all Pokémon (after {{p|Gastly}} and {{p|Haunter}}).

==In the games==
===Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum===
The three pixies are obtainable after the defeat of [[Team Galactic]] at [[Mt. Coronet]]. Uxie resides at the northern tip of Sinnoh, [[Acuity Cavern]]; Mesprit, after being encountered in [[Verity Cavern]], will roam throughout Sinnoh; and Azelf sits at the mid-eastern part of Sinnoh, sitting in [[Valor Cavern]].

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon===
The three are also found in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Explorers of Darkness, and]] [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]]. They are found in three different lakes and are in charge of protecting three [[Time Gears]].

==In the anime==
{{main|Lake guardians (anime)}}
[[File:Mesprit Azelf Uxie anime.png|thumb|250px|In the anime]]
All three first appeared in forms similar to souls, floating above their respective lakes, to the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}'s main characters. Mesprit appeared to {{an|Dawn}} during the start of her journey in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage!]]'', Azelf appeared to {{Ash}} during the duration of the [[Wallace Cup]] in ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'' and Uxie appeared to {{an|Brock}} while he was looking for a [[berry]] in ''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]''. Due to these encounters, all three established a connection to the human they each met.

They appeared in their physical forms for the first time in ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]'', wherein, after being hired by [[Team Galactic]], [[J]] was able to capture all three of them. Team Galactic was then able to control them using red gems. With their power, [[Cyrus]] was able to summon {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} during [[DP152|the next episode]].

When the gems were broken by {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}, the three were set free from Team Galactic's control. They then helped Ash and his friends stop the effects of summoning Dialga and Palkia.

==Trivia==
* The master of this trio is one of 4 trios that have a master outside of the trio, in this case the trio master is {{p|Arceus}}
* The two circles in each of the Pokémon's caves are the relative positions of the other two, when compared to a map of Sinnoh.
* The lake trio is the only trio whose members are all exactly the same type.
* The lake trio are the first set of [[legendary Pokémon]] since the legendary birds to have their names changed for the English language versions of the game - from Yuxie, Emrit, and Agnome to {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}.
* The lake trio help the player through the [[Distortion World]] in {{game|Platinum}}.
* Each of the lake trio's heads is a slightly different color than a color of something on the rest of their bodies: Uxie's head is close to the color of their eyes, Mesprit's head is close to the color of the gems on their forehead and tails, and Azelf's head is close to the color of their actual bodies.
* The lake trio contains the three {{wp|subtractive colors}} of yellow (Uxie), magenta (Mesprit) and cyan (Azelf).
** In addition, they share the same main colors with {{p|Cresselia}}.
* The trio's encounter music is a different version of their cavern music.
* None of the lake trio can learn [[HM]] moves.
* Each of the members' abilities have some connection to a Pokémon's stat. Uxie gives knowledge (ability), Mesprit gives emotions (nature and happiness), and Azelf gives willpower (stats and moves).
* Each member of the lake trio has appeared to one of the three current main characters of the {{pkmn|anime}}:
** Mesprit appeared to {{an|Dawn}}, highlighting her ability to understand what Pokémon feel, in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage]]''.
** Azelf appeared to {{Ash}}, highlighting his courageous actions without fear of his own harm, in ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals]]''.
** Uxie appeared to {{an|Brock}}, highlighting his superior knowledge of Pokémon to his companions, in ''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]''.
***Coincidentally, the genders of the three main characters are parallel to the trio's genders in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]].
**** Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf also make a similar connection to {{adv|Platinum}}, {{adv|Diamond}}, and {{adv|Pearl}} respectively, in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.
*The lake guardians are sometimes referred to in Japan as the "UMA trio" or "UMA combination", with "UMA" standing for "unidentified mysterious animal". Coincidentally, "UMA" is the initials of their English names.
*All members of the lake guardians learn sacrificing moves at level 76. Uxie to lower both attack stats of the opponent, Mesprit to heal a party member, and Azelf to highly damage the opponent.

Pokemaniac72: /* Pokemon are this high in level? */

==Bug type specialist?==

It's been bugging me (no pun intended) for a while, but Adeku's team consists of three Bug type Pokemon, while slightly resembling one of the Pokemon he owns himself (Urugamoth). As a point of comparison, Steven Stone of Hoenn owns three Steel types during his reign as Champion in Ruby/Sapphire and is classified by the site as a Steel-type specialist. What do you guys think? Should Adeku be classified as a Bug-type specialist? Or retain the 'Various' typing he has presently? --[[User:Chicobo329|Chicobo329]] 06:51, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
:Steven's classified as Steel because the Trainer's Eye classifies him as Steel. He also uses Pokémon which can be described as -similar- to Steel. Adeku's a little all over the place. I think he should be retained as Various unless something in-game says otherwise. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 07:07, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

==Pokemon are this high in level?==

I've thought that this is interesting how Adeku's Pokémon are another 20 levels above the Elite Four. This will likely inevitably mean that the Elite Four will require extra training. The training wouldn't be terribly difficult, but I don't know if this is the actual team that Adeku comes at you with in the first battle. It could be the team for any kind of rematch after the game =, but I'm wondering if this is accurate.-[Pokemaniac72]

{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Black and White}}

'''Pokémon Black Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターブラック''' ''Pocket Monsters Black'') and '''Pokémon White Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターホワイト''' ''Pocket Monsters White'') are the primary [[paired version]]s of [[Generation V]]. They are, like [[Generation IV]]'s games, on the [[Nintendo DS]].

Black and White follow the trends set up by previous games in the series. Two [[player character]]s (one male and one female) travel a new region, [[Isshu]], on their [[Pokémon journey]]s. This region is inhabited by various {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, almost all of which have not appeared prior to Black and White. The first of the new Pokémon to feature in these games, {{p|Zorua}} and {{p|Zoroark}}, were revealed on February 10, 2010 in [[CoroCoro]] magazine, and the [[starter Pokémon]] were revealed in May.

The games' names were revealed on the official Japanese Pokémon website on April 9, and scans from the subsequent issue of the magazine were leaked on April 10. These scans revealed some of the graphical enhancements that will be featured in these games. There is a higher level of 3D graphics than in previous games, as shown in some shots of the overworld. Initial sprites can be seen for Zorua, Zoroark, and the [[player character]]s.

In addition to the improved graphics, a number of aesthetic changes have been made from previous generations, including an altered battle scene containing fully animated Pokémon battle sprites as well as a dynamic camera that changes focus to highlight specific parts of the battle. Also, when talking to people, {{wp|speech balloon}}s for dialog will appear over people's heads, rather than as simply a dialog box.

Black and White are compatible with all five [[Generation IV]] games through use of the [[PokéShifter]] - unlike [[Pal Park]], however, [[item]]s cannot be held by Pokémon being sent over. Pokémon can be sent from Generation III games, as well, by transfer through Generation IV. The games also have the capacity to connect to the {{wp|internet}}; players can upload their save file and play online.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The game starts in [[Kanoko Town]] in the player's room with [[Cheren]], a childhood friend. [[Professor Araragi]] has left a gift box for the two and [[Bel]], another one of the player's friends, who arrives a little later. The box contains [[Starter Pokémon|three Pokémon]] that the player can choose from. After the selection, Bel will request a battle. When the battle is over, the room becomes cluttered due to the battle. Cheren heals both the player's and Bel's Pokémon, and begins a battle with the player as well. If the player loses to Cheren, he will gloat about his victory. The three then go downstairs, and Cheren and Bel will leave the house while the player's [[mom|mother]] will the Pokémon.

The player visits Bel's house, where she and her father are having an argument about her going on a Pokémon journey. Bel storms out of the house, and the player follows her to Professor Araragi's lab, where Cheren has been waiting. In the lab, Professor Araragi will give the player a chance to nickname the selected [[starter Pokémon]], and give each of the three a [[Pokédex]]. Upon leaving the lab, they will be greeted by the player's mother, who will hand everyone a [[Town Map]].

From then on, the player will set off on adventures through the Isshu region. Along the way, the player will battle eight [[Gym Leader]]s, while trying to complete the [[Pokédex]]. After managing to obtain all eight [[badge]]s, the player will head to the [[Pokémon League]] to battle the [[Elite Four]] and the Champion.

However, the adventure did not go as expected as the evil [[Team Plasma]] will be encountered along the way to the Pokémon League. The player will encounter [[N]], the leader of the evil organization. One of the [[Seven Sages]], [[Geechisu]], have a different goal than their leader. The player must thwart the plans of those two and save the Isshu region from being destroyed.

However, unlike previous games, the player will not be battling the Champion of the Isshu region when he first defeated the Elite Four; instead, [[N]] is battled. After defeating him, he promises not to separate the world into becoming black and white.

After the battle against N, however, the game is not over, as there are further activities to be done.



==Connectivity==
Much like its predecessors, Black and White allows players to connect to the previous generation of main series games. The [[PokéShifter]] feature, which is unlocked after defeating the Elite Four and [[Team Plasma]], allows players to send over their Pokémon through DS Download Play. Transferred Pokémon are captured through a mini-game different from the one present in Generation IV's [[Pal Park]].

==Features==
Black and White returns features present in previous generations, such as day, time, abilities and the split between [[Physical move|Physical]] and [[Special move]]s. Certain ones, however, such as [[walking Pokémon|Pokémon following their Trainers]], have been left out.

===C-Gear===
{{main|C-Gear}}
The C-Gear is the [[Pokétch]] of these games, with the only exception being it doesn't use applications. The C-Gear allows players to use certain multiplayer functions while anywhere in the game world.

===Pokémon Global Link===
{{main|Pokémon Global Link}}

====Pokémon Dream World====
{{main|Pokémon Dream World}}
The Pokémon Dream World is a special feature of Black and White which is operated via an Internet website, [http://www.pokemon-gl.com/ Pokémon-GL.com]. It will not be around when Pokémon Black and White come out in English, but right now it is in Japanese. The Dream World allows players to send a Pokémon to the Internet to obtain items and meet other Pokémon, making the website in a way such that it is a [[Generation V]] analog to the [[Pokéwalker]].

Many Pokémon that are found here are not found in the [[Isshu]] region, and would otherwise have to be migrated from a [[Generation IV]] game to be used. All of the Pokémon available here are given Dream World-exclusive abilities that their species cannot have by normal means.

===High Link===
{{main|High Link}}

===Pokémon Musical===
{{main|Pokémon Musical}}
Pokémon Contests, which have been present since [[Generation III]], are replaced by Pokémon Musicals. Similar to Contests, however, players may dress up their Pokémon when participating.

===Seasons===
Much like [[Generation II]] introduced as system of time, Generation V features changes in seasons. Seasons change every month. With it comes aesthetic changes in the region, as well as some changes with the Pokémon found in the wild. Additionally, {{p|Shikijika}} and its evolution {{p|Mebukijika}} change forms every season.

===Sprite animations===
While already featured in previous games, Pokémon sprites in Black and White remain animated throughout the battle. Additionally, full back sprites are now present in the games. Some, but not all, Pokémon use animated versions of their [[Generation IV]] sprites. All Trainers, on the other hand, with the exception of [[Bel]], [[Cheren]] and [[N]], return to sprites with no animations.

===Triple Battles===

===Rotation Battles===

===New Gyms===
Pokémon Black and White brings back the traditional eight [[Gyms]], but with it a total of eleven [[Gym Leaders]]. They are [[Dent]], [[Pod]] and [[Corn]] ({{t|Grass}}, {{t|Fire}} and {{t|Water}}, respectively), [[Aloe]] ({{t|Normal}}), [[Arti]] ({{t|Bug}}), [[Kamitsure]] ({{t|Electric}}), [[Yacon]] ({{t|Ground}}), [[Fuuro]] ({{t|Flying}}), [[Shaga]] and [[Iris]] ({{t|Dragon}}). Dent, Pod or Corn are battled if the player has chosen the {{type|Water}}, {{type|Grass}} or {{type|Fire}} [[starter Pokémon]], respectively. Shaga is battled in Pokémon Black while Iris is battled in Pokémon White.

===Elite Four===
Unlike previous games, the Elite Four can be battled in any order. After battling all four, a path to the Champion is unlocked. The Elite Four members are [[Shikimi]] ({{t|Ghost}}), [[Giima]] ({{t|Dark}}), [[Caitlin]] ({{t|Psychic}}) and [[Renbu]] ({{t|Fighting}}). However, the player is not able to defeat the Champion before defeating [[Team Plasma]]. Later, after defeating them in a rematch, the player will face Champion [[Adeku]], who uses a variety of types. It should be noted that Caitlin is the same person present in the [[Battle Frontier (Generation IV)#Battle Castle|Battle Castle]] who was alongside her butler {{FB|Castle Valet|Darach}}.

===New Pokémon===
:: ''See [[List of Pokémon by Isshu Pokédex number]] and [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number]]''
Black and White bring a total of 156 new Pokémon, bringing the overall total to 649 from the 493 present in Generation IV. While some new Pokémon may have similarities to previously introduced Pokémon, none of the new Pokémon are related to any of the 493.

The first Pokémon to be revealed are {{p|Zorua}} and {{p|Zoroark}}, who were both featured in the [[M13|thirteenth Pokémon movie]]. Unlike previous generations, no other new Pokémon were featured in the anime.

==Reception==

==Trivia==
* Pokémon Black and White are the first Pokémon games to receive a [[n:Famitsu gives Black and White perfect score|perfect 40/40 score]] from the gaming magazine Famitsu.
* On the [[C-Gear]], as well as in battle, the current time is displayed in {{wp|12-hour clock|12-hour}} format, however, at the hours of 12:00 AM and PM, the hour displays as 0, rather than 12, as a {{wp|24-hour clock}}, such as that on the DS and in the [[Generation IV]] games, would display midnight.
* Pokémon Black and White each have a {{DL|Legendary Pokémon|Energy Dragon trio|mascot}} of the color of their counterpart version.
* Game Freak spent about one and a half years developing the story and characters.<ref>[http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/staff/?p=202 Game Freak's blog]</ref>
* Two figures were given away with pre-orders in Japan. People could receive a Reshiram sound drop by pre-ordering Pokémon Black and a Zekrom sound drop by pre-ordering Pokémon White.
* Pokémon Black and White are the first Pokémon games to have different exterior designs for every [[gym]].
**They are also the first games where the Gyms have logos.

If you walk, run, or ride a [[Acro Bike]] you fall down and restart from the previous floor. If you manage to make it to the top you will have a choice of choosing the [[Claw Fossil]], or [[Root Fossil]]. The [[Claw Fossil]] will, once restored later on, will be the Pokémon {{p|Anorith}} and the [[Root Fossil]], once restored, will be the Pokémon {{p|Lileep}}.

==Route 113, Fallarbor Town, Meteor Falls, Route 115==

Continue until you get to {{rt|115|Hoenn}} travel into [[Meteor Falls]] and the southern exit. Then travel to [[Rustboro City]] from there. You will not encounter any trainers that will want to battle you if you have already defeated them.

==Rustboro City==

When you enter the city, take your [[fossil]] to the [[Devon Corporation]] building and to the second floor. Give your fossil to the fossil restorer. Exit the room, come back in and get your newly restored Pokémon. While you're here, heal your Pokémon at the [[Pokémon Center]]. Continue to {{rt|104|Hoenn}}.

==Route 104, Petalburg Woods==

Go through {{rt|104|Hoenn}}, and [[Petalburg Woods]] to get to [[Petalburg City]], home of your next badge.

==Petalburg City==

Heal your Pokémon, buy items and do anything else you need to do. Then head into the [[Petalburg City Gym]].

===Petalburg City Gym===

If you have any strong {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon, make to bring them because you'll need them. Each room you enter, the trainer will focus on the type of battle that was said when read the description on the door. So choose your battles wisely. The [[gym leader]] will defeat you easily if you don't take out his [[pokémon]] quickly. You will have to watch out for {{p|Slaking}}'s [[Facade]] move because if you give it a status condition it will usually take out your [[pokémon]] with 3 hits. You defeat him he will give the [[Balance Badge]] which allows you to use [[HM 03]] [[Surf]] outside of battle. He'll also give you [[TM 42]] [[Facade]]. Exit the the [[gym]] and [[Wally]]s' parent's house. They will give you [[HM 03]] [[Surf]]. Exit the house and continue your journey in search of the [[Feather Badge]].

== Structure of a page ("Pokémon ... Version") ==
=== Top ===
:When focusing on a pair of older versions that have since been remade, the page should link to the target pair, the remake pair, and the appendix page for the remake pair's walkthrough.

<center> This is the Bulbapedia walkthrough for [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]]. This walkthrough follows the original [[Game Boy]] version, not {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. The guide for those can be found [[FrLg walkthrough section 01|here]].</center>

-----

=== Headlines ===
:Each route or city should be included in a level-2 headline.
::<code> == Pallet Town == </code>

 
:Also, any important locations found within a route should be included in a level-3 headline within that route's section.
::<code> == Route 120 == </code>
::<code> === Ancient Tomb === </code>

=== Images ===
:There should be map image posted for every new location visited by the player. The image can be placed on either the left or right side of the page near that area's level-2 headline, and should use the "thumb" option to show a thumbnail of the larger image.
::<nowiki> == Route 20 == </nowiki>
::<nowiki> [[Image:Route 20.png|thumb|right|Route 20]] </nowiki>

 
:If the image needs to be shrunk/expanded to fit the page, then include ###px.
::<nowiki> [[Image:Route 20.png|thumb|right|</nowiki>{{color|{{red color}}|150px}}<nowiki>|Route 20]] </nowiki>

=== Trainers ===

:The Trainer battle information should be included wherever a Trainer battle can take place, and should be placed on the left side of the page.

=== Pokémon ===
:Every location where the player can obtain a Pokémon, wild or gift, should include the following details for each:
::* name
::* encounter rate
::* level(s)
::* area details, such as Grass, Cave, Fishing, Surfing, etc.
:This information, taken from the specific location's page, should be placed on the collapsible background, colored according to the version(s).

<center> This is the Bulbapedia walkthrough for [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions]]. This walkthrough follows the remade [[Nintendo DS]] versions, not {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. The guide for those can be found [[Appendix:Gold and Silver walkthrough|here]].</center>

-----

== Blackthorn City ==
[[Image:HGSS Blackthorn City.png|thumb|300px|right|Blackthorn City]]

[[Blackthorn City]] is a quiet town built into the side of a mountain. On the northern outskirts of town is the [[Dragon's Den]], where you'll meet the town's most revered Elder. This is also the place where you'll win your eighth and final Gym badge.

=== Time to Trade ===

The girl in the first house you pass by is looking to trade. When you talk to her, she'll offer to trade her {{p|Dodrio}} for your {{p|Dragonair}}{{female}}. It's your choice, but a Dragonair (and then {{p|Dragonite}}) will end up stronger in the long run.

The other girl will inspect your lead Pokémon. If it is strong enough, she will give it an Effort Ribbon.

=== The Saturday Sibling ===

Remember to visit the city on a Saturday. [[Week Siblings|Santos]] will be waiting just southeast of the Gym, and will give you the {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Soft Sand}} when you first meet him, which strengthens {{type2|Ground}} moves. All subsequent meetings will earn you a {{DL|Ribbon|Other Ribbons|Snooze Ribbon}}.

=== The Move Tutor house ===

There are four people in the house next to the Poké Mart, all of which provide valuable services regarding a Pokémon's moves.

* Move Deleter: He'll let a Pokémon forget a learned move - even a move that can't normally be forgotten, like an [[HM]].
* Move Maniac: Give him a {{DL|Exchangeable item|Heart Scale}} and he'll let a Pokémon remember one of the moves it has forgotten.
* Grandma Wilma: Bring her a {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon with high friendship and she'll teach it {{m|Draco Meteor}}, the ultimate Dragon-type move.
* Ultimate Move Tutor: He teaches the ultimate move ({{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}}, or {{m|Hydro Cannon}}) to the fully-evolved form of your starter Pokémon. Come back to his house later in the game when you have a fully evolved Kanto, Hoenn, or Sinnoh starter Pokémon to teach it one of these powerful moves.

=== Blackthorn Gym ===

The [[Blackthorn Gym]] is devoted to the {{type2|Dragon}}, so {{t|Ice}}-, {{t|Dragon}}-, and {{type2|Electric}} moves will see the most use here. The first thing you'll notice is that, due to the lava bubbling underfoot, the floor has become unstable, and you'll need to return your lead Pokémon to its Poké Ball. After receiving a major redesign from {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, the Gym now has a single floor that requires the use of the rotating, moving platforms to cross the lava. The blue button causes a platform to rotate in place, while the two red arrows move you in either direction. To reach the Gym Leader, you'll need to navigate the three platforms, and fight past five Ace Trainers.

|}

Once your battle with [[Clair]] begins, use {{type2|Electric}} moves to inflict quadruple damage to her {{p|Gyarados}}. {{p|Kingdra}} is only weak against {{type2|Dragon}} attacks, and you'll also want to use Dragon-type moves to beat {{p|Dragonair}} before it {{status|Paralysis|paralyzes}} your Pokémon with {{m|Thunder Wave}}.

Congratulations, you've just defeated the eighth and final Gym Leader of [[Johto]]! That's quite an achievement, but Clair won't hand over your last badge that easily. While she acknowledges that she lost, she still doesn't believe that you're ready to take on the {{ka|Elite Four}}. In order for her to recognize you as the victor, you have to travel to the [[Dragon's Den]] shrine in the cave behind the Gym. Bring a Pokémon with {{m|Surf}} and {{m|Whirlpool}}, and head inside.

Enter the cave, and take the stairs down into the main cavern. {{m|Surf}} to the southwest, and you'll reach a large whirlpool. Have a Pokémon use {{m|Whirlpool}} to cross over it, and surf east past the Dragon Shrine. Northeast of the shrine is the {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Dragon Fang}}, which enhances {{type2|Dragon}} moves. Backtrack to the shrine, and speak to the Dragon Master to be quizzed about your attitude towards Pokémon. Depending on how you answer the five questions, you'll be rewarded with a {{p|Dratini}}, which may or may not know the move {{m|ExtremeSpeed}}. To get the Dratini with ExtremeSpeed, do not choose any of the following answers:
* Underling (Question 1)
* Cheating (Question 2)
* Weak Person (Question 3)
* Violence (Question 4)
Finally, you'll need to answer "Both" for the fifth question. After the quiz, [[Clair]] walks in, expecting to see that you've failed. As much as she would rather not, the Elder persuades her to give you the {{badge|Rising}}, your final badge from Johto. This badge earns the respect of all of your Pokémon, and enables the use of {{m|Waterfall}} in the field. As you head for the cave's exit, you'll run into Clair on the northern shore, where she's waiting to give you {{TM|59|Dragon Pulse}}. She tells you to return to {{to|New Bark}} and take Route 27 to reach the {{ka|Elite Four}}. When you exit [[Dragon's Den]], you'll get a call from [[Professor Elm]], asking you to return to New Bark Town. To get your {{p|Dratini}}, re-enter the cave and speak to the Elder again.

Heal up your battle-weary team, and set off to the south to reach {{rt|45|Johto}}.

=== Later... ===

Return here after fighting {{ga|Silver|your rival}} at [[Kanto]]'s Mt Moon. [[Lance]] and [[Clair]] will approach you outside the Dragon Shrine to fight a tag battle against you and your rival.

While it was accessible once you had reached {{rt|31|Johto}}, you didn't have the moves ({{m|Flash}}, {{m|Rock Smash}}, {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Strength}}) needed to fully explore this shadowy cave.

* The [[Blackthorn City]] (eastern) side:
::From the northeast entrance near {{ci|Blackthorn}}, walk down the two stairways to reach a small lake. {{m|Surf}} directly south, and climb onto the nearby rock ledge to find a [[Revive]]. Follow the path to the west, and you'll find {{TM|54|False Swipe}} near a ledge. Backtrack to the lake, and swim across to reach the northern shore (west of the entryway). Follow the trail north, then turn towards the southwest. Climb up the stairway to the west, and follow the rock ledge to the northeast. Speak to the guy to get a pair of {{DL|Type-enhancing item|BlackGlasses}}, which enhance {{type2|Dark}} moves. Head south and jump the two sets of ledges, grab the hidden {{DL|Potion|Hyper Potion}} on the lone blue-green rock, and walk through the doorway to reach the cave's western side.
* The [[Violet City]] (western) side:
::After exploring the Blackthorn side of the cave, you'll emerge on the western side at the edge of another small lake. {{m|Surf}} to the west find a [[Potion]], and a [[Poké Ball]] hidden nearby. Walk south and swim across the tiny pool of water to obtain a {{DL|Flute|Black Flute}}, which decreases the chances of fighting wild Pokémon. Navigate around the group of ledges, and {{m|Rock Smash|break through}} the two boulders to head east. Have a Pokémon use {{m|Strength}} to shove the boulder out of your way, and use Rock Smash again to break the rock east of here. Head north, and follow the path east and then south around a large rock formation, where you'll find a {{DL|Potion|Hyper Potion}}. Continue south, jump the ledge, and pick up the {{DL|Ether|Max Ether}} to the east, hidden in the rock wall. Continue south down two more stairways, and grab the {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Full Heal}}. Jump the ledge to the west, and take the stairway south to reach a {{DL|Battle item|Dire Hit}}. Jump the ledge, and head east to reach the exit to {{rt|46|Johto}}.

=== Mountain Road ===
[[Image:Johto Route45 Map.gif|frame|right|Route 45]]

{{rt|45|Johto}} follows a river ravine, forming a steep trail leading down from the mountains. The route splits and recombines multiple times, passing the eastern entrance to [[Dark Cave]] before turning west towards {{rt|46|Johto}}. With so many ledges and bridges scattered across the route, you'll need to travel southbound more than once to get every item, and fight every Trainer.

* To collect every item:
::Walk south from Dark Cave's southern entrance to find an {{DL|Ether|Elixir}}. Walk down the steps and jump the first ledge nearby, and head east across the bridge. Jump over the ledge to the south to pick up a {{DL|Potion|Max Potion}}. Cross the second bridge near Ace Trainer Kelly, and jump over the ledge here to find a {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Full Heal}} sitting in a large patch of tall grass. Ignore the next bridge, and jump the next ledge west of the river for a {{DL|Valuable item|Nugget}}, and another ledge for a [[Revive]]. Here you'll be standing near two stairways - one leading south, the other leading east; step down the eastern stairway, cross the bridge, and jump the ledge to reach a small pond. Pick the green Apricorn from the tree, jump the ledge, and take the bridge west to reach {{rt|46|Johto}}.
* To fight every Trainer:
::Walk south from {{ci|Blackthorn}} and jump the first ledge on the eastern side of the river. The route diverges around a rock outcropping; you can jump the western ledges to fight Hiker Erik, or take the eastern side to fight Ace Trainer Ryan. South of those two Trainers, cut across the bridge to the route's western side, and jump south to battle Hiker Parry. Step down the stairs, jump the next ledge, and cross the bridge to challenge Ace Trainer Kelly. Head south and jump the three ledges to fight Black Belt Kenji. South of Kenji, the route splits around a second rock formation east of the river; jump the three ledges on the west side to fight Hiker Timothy, or jump the single east ledge to battle Hiker Michael. Continue south, and travel west to reach {{rt|46|Johto}}.

{{rt|46|Johto}} is a short route in southeastern [[Johto]] that connects {{rt|45|Johto}} and {{rt|29|Johto}}. Pluck the green and yellow Apricorns from the two trees near [[Dark Cave]]'s southern entrance, jump a few ledges, grab the {{DL|Battle item|X Speed}} to the west, and head south through the guardhouse. A short walk is all it takes to return home to [[New Bark Town]].

Walkthrough:Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver/Part 12

2010-10-17T16:53:47Z

Pokemaniac72: /* Blackthorn Gym */

<center> This is the Bulbapedia walkthrough for [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions]]. This walkthrough follows the remade [[Nintendo DS]] versions, not {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. The guide for those can be found [[Appendix:Gold and Silver walkthrough|here]].</center>

-----

== Blackthorn City ==
[[Image:HGSS Blackthorn City.png|thumb|300px|right|Blackthorn City]]

[[Blackthorn City]] is a quiet town built into the side of a mountain. On the northern outskirts of town is the [[Dragon's Den]], where you'll meet the town's most revered Elder. This is also the place where you'll win your eighth and final Gym badge.

=== Time to Trade ===

The girl in the first house you pass by is looking to trade. When you talk to her, she'll offer to trade her {{p|Dodrio}} for your {{p|Dragonair}}{{female}}. It's your choice, but a Dragonair (and then {{p|Dragonite}}) will end up stronger in the long run.

The other girl will inspect your lead Pokémon. If it is strong enough, she will give it an Effort Ribbon.

=== The Saturday Sibling ===

Remember to visit the city on a Saturday. [[Week Siblings|Santos]] will be waiting just southeast of the Gym, and will give you the {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Soft Sand}} when you first meet him, which strengthens {{type2|Ground}} moves. All subsequent meetings will earn you a {{DL|Ribbon|Other Ribbons|Snooze Ribbon}}.

=== The Move Tutor house ===

There are four people in the house next to the Poké Mart, all of which provide valuable services regarding a Pokémon's moves.

* Move Deleter: He'll let a Pokémon forget a learned move - even a move that can't normally be forgotten, like an [[HM]].
* Move Maniac: Give him a {{DL|Exchangeable item|Heart Scale}} and he'll let a Pokémon remember one of the moves it has forgotten.
* Grandma Wilma: Bring her a {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon with high friendship and she'll teach it {{m|Draco Meteor}}, the ultimate Dragon-type move.
* Ultimate Move Tutor: He teaches the ultimate move ({{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}}, or {{m|Hydro Cannon}}) to the fully-evolved form of your starter Pokémon. Come back to his house later in the game when you have a fully evolved Kanto, Hoenn, or Sinnoh starter Pokémon to teach it one of these powerful moves.

=== Blackthorn Gym ===
{{sign|DPcity|header}}
{{sign|DPcity|title|Blackthorn City Pokémon Gym Leader: Clair}}
{{sign|DPcity|The Blessed User of Dragon Pokémon}}
{{sign|DPcity|footer}}

The [[Blackthorn Gym]] is devoted to the {{type2|Dragon}}, so {{t|Ice}}-, {{t|Dragon}}-, and {{type2|Electric}} moves will see the most use here. The first thing you'll notice is that, due to the lava bubbling underfoot, the floor has become unstable, and you'll need to return your lead Pokémon to its Poké Ball. After receiving a major redesign from {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, the Gym now has a single floor that requires the use of the rotating, moving platforms to cross the lava. The blue button causes a platform to rotate in place, while the two red arrows move you in either direction. To reach the Gym Leader, you'll need to navigate the three platforms, and fight past five Ace Trainers.

|}

Once your battle with [[Clair]] begins, use {{type2|Electric}} moves to inflict quadruple damage to her {{p|Gyarados}}. {{p|Kingdra}} is only weak against {{type2|Dragon}} attacks, and you'll also want to use Dragon-type moves to beat {{p|Dragonair}} before it {{status|Paralysis|paralyzes}} your Pokémon with {{m|Thunder Wave}}. Her Kingdra's moves make it a powerhouse, so it must be attacked as quickly as possible.

Congratulations, you've just defeated the eighth and final Gym Leader of [[Johto]]! That's quite an achievement, but Clair won't hand over your last badge that easily. While she acknowledges that she lost, she still doesn't believe that you're ready to take on the {{ka|Elite Four}}. In order for her to recognize you as the victor, you have to travel to the [[Dragon's Den]] shrine in the cave behind the Gym. Bring a Pokémon with {{m|Surf}} and {{m|Whirlpool}}, and head inside.

=== Dragon's Den ===

Enter the cave, and take the stairs down into the main cavern. {{m|Surf}} to the southwest, and you'll reach a large whirlpool. Have a Pokémon use {{m|Whirlpool}} to cross over it, and surf east past the Dragon Shrine. Northeast of the shrine is the {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Dragon Fang}}, which enhances {{type2|Dragon}} moves. Backtrack to the shrine, and speak to the Dragon Master to be quizzed about your attitude towards Pokémon. Depending on how you answer the five questions, you'll be rewarded with a {{p|Dratini}}, which may or may not know the move {{m|ExtremeSpeed}}. To get the Dratini with ExtremeSpeed, do not choose any of the following answers:
* Underling (Question 1)
* Cheating (Question 2)
* Weak Person (Question 3)
* Violence (Question 4)
Finally, you'll need to answer "Both" for the fifth question. After the quiz, [[Clair]] walks in, expecting to see that you've failed. As much as she would rather not, the Elder persuades her to give you the {{badge|Rising}}, your final badge from Johto. This badge earns the respect of all of your Pokémon, and enables the use of {{m|Waterfall}} in the field. As you head for the cave's exit, you'll run into Clair on the northern shore, where she's waiting to give you {{TM|59|Dragon Pulse}}. She tells you to return to {{to|New Bark}} and take Route 27 to reach the {{ka|Elite Four}}. When you exit [[Dragon's Den]], you'll get a call from [[Professor Elm]], asking you to return to New Bark Town. To get your {{p|Dratini}}, re-enter the cave and speak to the Elder again.

Heal up your battle-weary team, and set off to the south to reach {{rt|45|Johto}}.

=== Later... ===

Return here after fighting {{ga|Silver|your rival}} at [[Kanto]]'s Mt Moon. [[Lance]] and [[Clair]] will approach you outside the Dragon Shrine to fight a tag battle against you and your rival.

While it was accessible once you had reached {{rt|31|Johto}}, you didn't have the moves ({{m|Flash}}, {{m|Rock Smash}}, {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Strength}}) needed to fully explore this shadowy cave.

* The [[Blackthorn City]] (eastern) side:
::From the northeast entrance near {{ci|Blackthorn}}, walk down the two stairways to reach a small lake. {{m|Surf}} directly south, and climb onto the nearby rock ledge to find a [[Revive]]. Follow the path to the west, and you'll find {{TM|54|False Swipe}} near a ledge. Backtrack to the lake, and swim across to reach the northern shore (west of the entryway). Follow the trail north, then turn towards the southwest. Climb up the stairway to the west, and follow the rock ledge to the northeast. Speak to the guy to get a pair of {{DL|Type-enhancing item|BlackGlasses}}, which enhance {{type2|Dark}} moves. Head south and jump the two sets of ledges, grab the hidden {{DL|Potion|Hyper Potion}} on the lone blue-green rock, and walk through the doorway to reach the cave's western side.
* The [[Violet City]] (western) side:
::After exploring the Blackthorn side of the cave, you'll emerge on the western side at the edge of another small lake. {{m|Surf}} to the west find a [[Potion]], and a [[Poké Ball]] hidden nearby. Walk south and swim across the tiny pool of water to obtain a {{DL|Flute|Black Flute}}, which decreases the chances of fighting wild Pokémon. Navigate around the group of ledges, and {{m|Rock Smash|break through}} the two boulders to head east. Have a Pokémon use {{m|Strength}} to shove the boulder out of your way, and use Rock Smash again to break the rock east of here. Head north, and follow the path east and then south around a large rock formation, where you'll find a {{DL|Potion|Hyper Potion}}. Continue south, jump the ledge, and pick up the {{DL|Ether|Max Ether}} to the east, hidden in the rock wall. Continue south down two more stairways, and grab the {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Full Heal}}. Jump the ledge to the west, and take the stairway south to reach a {{DL|Battle item|Dire Hit}}. Jump the ledge, and head east to reach the exit to {{rt|46|Johto}}.

=== Mountain Road ===
[[Image:Johto Route45 Map.gif|frame|right|Route 45]]

{{rt|45|Johto}} follows a river ravine, forming a steep trail leading down from the mountains. The route splits and recombines multiple times, passing the eastern entrance to [[Dark Cave]] before turning west towards {{rt|46|Johto}}. With so many ledges and bridges scattered across the route, you'll need to travel southbound more than once to get every item, and fight every Trainer.

* To collect every item:
::Walk south from Dark Cave's southern entrance to find an {{DL|Ether|Elixir}}. Walk down the steps and jump the first ledge nearby, and head east across the bridge. Jump over the ledge to the south to pick up a {{DL|Potion|Max Potion}}. Cross the second bridge near Ace Trainer Kelly, and jump over the ledge here to find a {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Full Heal}} sitting in a large patch of tall grass. Ignore the next bridge, and jump the next ledge west of the river for a {{DL|Valuable item|Nugget}}, and another ledge for a [[Revive]]. Here you'll be standing near two stairways - one leading south, the other leading east; step down the eastern stairway, cross the bridge, and jump the ledge to reach a small pond. Pick the green Apricorn from the tree, jump the ledge, and take the bridge west to reach {{rt|46|Johto}}.
* To fight every Trainer:
::Walk south from {{ci|Blackthorn}} and jump the first ledge on the eastern side of the river. The route diverges around a rock outcropping; you can jump the western ledges to fight Hiker Erik, or take the eastern side to fight Ace Trainer Ryan. South of those two Trainers, cut across the bridge to the route's western side, and jump south to battle Hiker Parry. Step down the stairs, jump the next ledge, and cross the bridge to challenge Ace Trainer Kelly. Head south and jump the three ledges to fight Black Belt Kenji. South of Kenji, the route splits around a second rock formation east of the river; jump the three ledges on the west side to fight Hiker Timothy, or jump the single east ledge to battle Hiker Michael. Continue south, and travel west to reach {{rt|46|Johto}}.

{{rt|46|Johto}} is a short route in southeastern [[Johto]] that connects {{rt|45|Johto}} and {{rt|29|Johto}}. Pluck the green and yellow Apricorns from the two trees near [[Dark Cave]]'s southern entrance, jump a few ledges, grab the {{DL|Battle item|X Speed}} to the west, and head south through the guardhouse. A short walk is all it takes to return home to [[New Bark Town]].

== Radio Tower ==
[[Image:HGSS Goldenrod Radio Tower.png|frame|right|Goldenrod Radio Tower]]

When you get back to {{ci|Goldenrod}}, you'll notice that [[Team Rocket]] grunts are blocking off many of the buildings, including the Gym and the Flower Shop, as well as the Happiness Rater and the Bike Shop. Luckily, the Poké Center and Dept Store are still accessible. Get over to the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower|Radio Tower]] when your team is ready. A single Rocket is blocking access to the upper levels of the tower, so trek down to the now-deserted Goldenrod Underground and talk to the only guy around, another Rocket, who gives you a Rocket uniform to change into. Head back up into the tower.

The grunt will move out of the way, but [[Silver (game)|your rival]] will show up and expose you, forcing the Rocket to attack you.

{{Trainerheader|road}}
{{Trainerentry|HGSS Rocket Grunt M.png|Rocket Grunt||960|2|020|Raticate|♂|24|None|020|Raticate|♂|24|None}}
{{Trainerfooter|road|II}}

The defeated grunt runs upstairs to alert the other Rockets, and your rival, after blowing your disguise, is perfectly happy running off, muttering about defeating [[Lance|that Dragon Tamer]]. It seems that the Radio Tower's director is being held hostage on the fifth floor, so your first objective is to rescue him. Fortunately, you can leave at any time to heal up at the Poké Center.

=== 5F: Director's Office ===

When you get to the Director's office, you'll find not the Director, but [[Petrel]] in disguise again. He'll note that the director is elsewhere, and then challenge you a battle. This battle can be very easy or very hard, so make sure that your moves are at least normal effectiveness so that you don't get poisoned by his Pokémon.

[[Petrel]] hands over the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Basement Key}}, which opens up the locked door at the southern end of the [[Goldenrod Tunnel]]. Rest your team, save your game, and head into the tunnel.

== Goldenrod Tunnel ==

You'll encounter another [[Kimono Girl]] on the way, and then [[Silver (game)|your rival]] shows up yet again. This time, however, he wants to fight you.

After [[Silver (game)|your rival]] leaves, you'll run across a puzzle involving switches. The correct sequence of switches to press is blue, green, and then red. Pressing the switches in this order will open the necessary doors for you to reach the door in the southeast. Fight the female grunt, then walk through the door.

Now, you'll find yourself underneath the [[Goldenrod Department Store|Dept Store]]. Grab the Ultra Ball, and follow the hallway around to the east. Pick up the {{DL|Ether|Max Ether}} in the southeast corner, and continue north. Detour up the stairs in the northeast to reach an {{DL|In-battle effect item|Amulet Coin}}, and walk back down. Fight one last Rocket grunt, grab the {{TM|82|Sleep Talk}} near the Radio Tower's Director, and speak to him in the center of the floor. He'll give you the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Card Key}}, which unlocks those shutters on the Radio Tower's third floor. Get back to the tower to finally clear out the Rockets!

=== Observation Deck ===

One Rocket executive left! Walk up to [[Archer]], the current leader of [[Team Rocket]]. Archer tells you that seizing the Radio Tower was all part of their plan to call [[Giovanni]] away from his solo training, and to reclaim the gang's former glory. Battle against Archer and put an end to Team Rocket's wishful thinking!

Once you defeat him, [[Archer]] laments that their operation was in vain. Like [[Giovanni]] had done {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|three years ago|s}}, he formally disbands [[Team Rocket]], and disappears.

The Director walks up to you, and thanks you for chasing the gang away. To show his appreciation, he gives you the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Rainbow Wing}}{{sup|HG}} / {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Silver Wing}}{{sup|SS}}. The Director tells you that the Radio Tower stands on what was once the site of an old tower, and while it was being demolished to make room for the Radio Tower, that shimmering feather was found at the top. Once the Director leaves the Observation Deck, you're free to leave the tower. Speak to the girl near the Card Key door on 3F to get {{TM|11|Sunny Day}}, and talk to [[DJ Mary]] on 4F to get a {{DL|In-battle effect item|BrightPowder}}.

Now that you've managed to thwart Team Rocket's plans, your next task is to get your eighth Gym badge and challenge the Pokémon League. You will also now be able to face trainers whose numbers are in your [[Pokégear]] in a rematch when they are in contact with you and agree to a rematch. When ready to continue your journey, {{m|fly}} back to [[Mahogany Town]], and head east to {{rt|44|Johto}}.

== Route 44 ==
[[Image:Johto Route44 Map.gif|frame|right|Route 44]]

{{rt|44|Johto}} is a verdant, tree-lined path. Between its two lakes, you'll find the area's single patch of tall grass. Trade phone numbers with Fisherman Wilton by the northern lake, and he'll inform you when wild {{p|Remoraid}} are [[Mass Outbreak|swarming]]. Make your way to the route's east end to reach the entrance to the frozen [[Ice Path]], but be sure to bring along a Pokémon that knows {{m|Strength}}; there are plenty of inconveniently-placed boulders inside the cave.

==== 1F ====
As you enter, you'll notice that the floors are sporadically covered by a glaze of ice, making attempts to traverse the cave more difficult. From the entrance, slide over the first stretch of ice, and continue on to the second. This one is a bit harder; you need to slide ↑, ←, ↑, ←, ↓, ←, ↑, → to reach the clear patch of ground in the center. Slide across the ice patch to the east (→, ↑, ←, ↓, ←, ↑, →) to reach the item, {{HM|07|Waterfall}}. Backtrack a little, and walk up across the rock ledge to reach the stairs in the northeast.

==== B1F ====
On this floor, you'll need to drop the four boulders down each of the four holes in the floor. Walk up north around the row of ice-covered stones, and south to reach the first two boulders. Push the bottom boulder →1, ↓3, ←5, ↓1, and →1 to drop it through the hole to the floor below. While you're nearby, head back north to the other boulder, and push it ↑4. Walk around to the southeast, and head up along the east wall to the third boulder. Shove this one ←1, ↓5, ←1, ↓3, ↑1, and ←4 to drop it through the southeastern hole. Walk north past that hole, and you'll find the fourth boulder - push this one ↑2, →2,↑3, and ←2. Three down, one to go! Now that you're on the opposite side of the first boulder, push it →1, ↓1 through the northwest hole, and you're done. Head down the northeast stairs.

==== B2F ====
Before you head for the next set of stairs, don't pass up the {{DL|Potion|Max Potion}} sitting along the western wall. Start by sliding ↓ from the northeast stairs (pick up the {{DL|Vitamin|Carbos}} hidden in the wall), then ←, ↑, ←, ↓, and ← to reach it.

Start by the northeast stairs again, and this time slide ← across the ice to bump into the first boulder. Slide ↓, ←, ↑, then → to reach the clear bit of ground in the center of the floor. Grab the {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Full Heal}} and head downstairs.

==== B3F ====
Not much to see here. Grab the {{DL|Type-enhancing item|NeverMeltIce}} (you don't need Rock Smash for this), and take the eastern stairs back to the next area of B2F.

==== B2F ====
Walk down and around onto the rock ledge, and stand two spaces east of the side of the platform. Slide south across the ice, and turn east to reach {{TM|72|Avalanche}}. Take the stairs in the southwest back the next area of B1F.

==== B1F ====
You'll find another ice puzzle here, as well as a lone boulder. Shove the rock a single space to the south, then slide up and around over the ice to reach the {{DL|Vitamin|Iron}}. Take the western stairs to reach the tiny eastern area of 1F.

==== 1F ====
Grab the {{DL|Vitamin|Protein}} near the stairs, and head south. You'll see another [[Kimono Girl]] to the south, stuck on the ice. Of the two open spaces at the ice's edge, stand on the right-hand side and slide ↓, ←, ↓, and → to reach her. After a quick shove, she thanks you and leaves. From here, you can slide directly south to reach the exit. Otherwise, from the spot of ice next to the Kimono Girl, slide ←, ↑, →, ↓, →, and ↓ to reach the {{DL|Vitamin|PP Up}}.

Step outside to reach [[Blackthorn City]].

Walkthrough:Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver/Part 10

2010-10-17T16:43:43Z

Pokemaniac72: /* B3F */

<center> This is the Bulbapedia walkthrough for [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions]]. This walkthrough follows the remade [[Nintendo DS]] versions, not {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. The guide for those can be found [[Appendix:Gold and Silver walkthrough|here]].</center>

-----

== Mahogany Town ==
[[Image:HGSS Mahogany Town.png|thumb|250px|right|Mahogany Town]]

[[Mahogany Town]] is a small, quiet town in northern Johto. On your first visit, the [[Mahogany Gym]] is blocked off, and a man at the town's east end prevents travel to {{rt|44|Johto}}. Buy a {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|RageCandyBar}} for {{pdollar}}300 as a souvenir; you'll eventually trade it to someone in Kanto for a TM. There is no official Poké Mart here, but the Souvenir Shop in the center of town sells odd items (like {{DL|Valuable item|TinyMushroom}}s) and the standard Poké Balls and Potions. There's certainly nothing suspicious about the two thugs in the shop, or the poorly-concealed radio antenna in the tree outside. If you flip open your [[Pokégear]] and turn on the radio, you won't hear any of the normal stations. Instead, a strange radio pulse is being broadcast on all channels. There's something suspicious about that Souvenir Shop, but there's nothing you can do just yet.

Head up north to check out the [[Lake of Rage]]. You may have done these next few parts earlier in the game. Whichever of these parts you have done, just skip over parts below until you come across something you haven't done.

== Route 43 ==
[[Image:Johto Route43 Map.gif|frame|right|Route 43]]

{{rt|43|Johto}} is a rural, tree-lined path that runs north-south between [[Mahogany Town]] and the [[Lake of Rage]]. To the north, you'll find two places where you can access the Lake of Rage. [[Team Rocket]] has taken over the guardhouse here, and anyone who tries to pass through the building will get shaken down for {{pdollar}}1,000 as a "toll". Fight a few Trainers, and wander north towards the lake.

== Lake of Rage ==
[[Image:HGSS Lake of Rage Wet.png|thumb|350px|right|The flooded Lake of Rage]]

The [[Lake of Rage]] is a large lake, brimming with clear water. It used to be known as a fishing spot with the liveliest {{p|Magikarp}} around, but now a raging [[red Gyarados]] dominates the entire lake. It's also {{DL|Weather|Heavy Rain|raining heavily}}, which has flooded the small forest to the west of the lake. {{m|Surf}} out onto the water to collect all the items, then approach the red Gyarados. Whether you catch it, defeat it, or let it get away, you'll spot the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Red Scale}} floating nearby - take this to [[Mr. Pokémon]] back on {{rt|30|Johto}} to trade it for the {{DL|Experience-affecting item|Exp. Share}}.

After battling the {{p|Gyarados}} and swimming back to the shore, you'll see a man in a black cape with a {{p|Dragonite}} standing near the sign. He introduces himself as [[Lance]], and asks you to assist him in his investigation. 
Follow him back to {{to|Mahogany}}.

=== Later... ===

Visit the lake again on a Wednesday after you run [[Team Rocket]] out of Mahogany Town. You'll find that the water level has dropped, altering the area's layout. This is the only time that you can meet certain Trainers and get particular items, so it's worth it to return in the middle of the week.

== Rocket Hideout - Mahogany ==

When you enter the Souvenir Shop, you'll walk in on [[Lance]]'s {{p|Dragonite}} persuading the thugs to talk. Lance shoves a cabinet out of the way, and reveals a set of stairs leading to the basement. Walk down the stairs, and you will find yourself in Team Rocket's [[Team Rocket HQ|underground base]].

As soon as you step in front of any {{p|Persian}} statue, the security camera inside will alert two Rocket grunts to attack you. Follow the hallway to the west, and turn south at the first opening. Turn south again before reaching another Persian statue, and battle Scientist Gregg. Flip the switch on the PC to deactivate the security cameras, and pick up the {{DL|Battle item|Guard Spec.}} Head back north, and turn east near the second Persian statue to pick up a {{DL|Potion|Hyper Potion}}. Walk all the way south, and follow the hallway to the west, where you'll find a {{DL|Valuable item|Nugget}}, a warp to the entrance, and the stairs leading to the next floor.

When you walk down the stairs, you'll meet up with [[Lance]] again, who will heal your Pokémon to full health. You'll see the door to the generator room nearby, but it's locked up tight. Fight past the Rocket grunts, and take the stairs in the southeast.

[[Lance]] has discovered that in order to shut off the radio transmitter, you need the voice of [[Petrel]], one of [[Team Rocket]]'s executives. Evidently, he's hiding out in their leader's office, which is protected by a password - so in order to access the radio broadcast room, you need Petrel's voice; but to get that, you need to track down the two passwords to unlock Petrel's office first. If you're looking to only fight a few Rockets, track down the female grunt nearby, and the male grunt to the southwest; the female gives you the first password - "SLOWPOKETAIL" - while the male tells you the second one - "RATICATETAIL". Grab the {{DL|Battle item|X Special}} and the {{DL|Vitamin|Protein}} in the southwest, pick up the {{TM|49|Snatch}} to the northeast, and a {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Full Heal}} along the east wall. Take the stairs in the northeast back to B2F.

Head south and check out the machinery to find a hidden {{DL|Battle item|X Sp. Def}}. Follow the hallway all the way to the west, and take the stairs back down to B3F.

=== B3F ===
You've made it to [[Petrel]]'s office, and you've collected the two passwords needed to open the door - and [[Silver (game)|look who]] shows up with such great timing. It seems that [[Lance]] defeated him easily, and he's still stewing over what Lance said to him. He shoves you before running off again, leaving you to confront Petrel. Don't forget to grab the {{DL|Poké Ball|Ultra Ball}} nearby.

When you enter the two passwords, the door slides away, and you walk up to... [[Giovanni]]?! Didn't he run off after disbanding the team three years ago? He did indeed, and the purple-haired copycat is [[Petrel]], the second of [[Team Rocket]]'s executives that you'll have to fight (after [[Proton]] in the [[Slowpoke Well]]). He's so confident that you won't succeed, he even tells you the password to the room with the broadcasting machine - "Hail Giovanni" - but unfortunately, it only works when it's in his voice. Get ready to battle!

When you beat him, he runs off. Once he leaves, the {{p|Murkrow}} that was sitting nearby demonstrates its ability to mimic voices. It copied [[Petrel]]'s voice, and it remembers the password! It runs back the way you got here, but make a quick detour up the southern stairs to find {{TM|46|Thief}} before following it. It runs all the way back to the generator room and screams the password at the door, mimicking the voice of Petrel. The voice-recognition system unlocks the door, and Murkrow runs off. But just as you step up to the machine, [[Ariana]], another executive, stops you. She and a Rocket grunt are more than happy to finish you off in a two-on-one battle, but [[Lance]] shows up just in time.

Even though she's been defeated, [[Ariana]] doesn't seem to care. She tells you that the broadcast experiment was a complete success, and that this hideout has served its purpose. With that, [[Team Rocket]] pulls out of {{to|Mahogany}} for good. [[Lance]] inspects the generator, and tells you that the only way to disrupt the signal is to force the six {{p|Electrode}} that are powering the machine to faint. Lance splits the job with you, so you only need to battle three. These Electric type Pokémon are Level 25, so be prepared. Lance says that the signal has stopped, and gives you {{HM|05|Whirlpool}} to show his appreciation. Run up the stairs, and step on the warp to get back to the entrance. 
Now you can challenge the [[Mahogany Gym]]!

=== Mahogany Gym ===


{{sign|DPcity|header}}
{{sign|DPcity|title|Mahogany Town Pokémon Gym Leader: Pryce}}
{{sign|DPcity|The Teacher of Winter's Harshness}}
{{sign|DPcity|footer}}

The [[Mahogany Gym]] specializes in {{type2|Ice}}s, so {{t|Fire}}- and {{type2|Fighting}} attacks will generally be the most effective here; however, many of the Pokémon here are {{t|Water}}/{{t|Ice}}-types, so {{type2|Electric}}s wouldn't be a bad idea, either. [[Pryce]] is at home in the winter wilderness, and has installed slick, icy tiles in his Gym to thwart all but the most determined Trainers. To reach him, you'll need to manipulate the blocks that are sitting out on the slick ice.

In the first room, walk straight across the ice to bump into a block, sending it skidding into a second block. Slide ←, ↑, →, ↑ to reach the door.

In the second room, walk up around Skier Diana and slide → into the two blocks. Head up to reach the door.

In the final room, walk past Boarder Deandre and slide → across the ice to the two blocks. Walk ↑ to fight Skier Jill, then slide →, ↓, ←, ↑, →, ↑, →, ↑ to fight Boarder Gerardo. After that battle, slide ← then ↑ to reach Pryce. His {{p|Seel}} and {{p|Dewgong}} can attack with the {{m|Snore}} and {{m|Sleep Talk}} moves, so don't let your guard down, even if they're asleep.

After defeating him, [[Pryce]] gives out the {{badge|Glacier}}, which increases your party's {{stat|Special Attack}} and {{stat|Special Defense}}, and also allows the use of {{m|Whirlpool}} in the field. Pryce also gives you {{TM|07|Hail}}, a symbol of winter's harshness. One more badge to go!

When you step outside the Gym, {{prof|Elm}} calls you about strange radio broadcasts that mention [[Team Rocket]]. It seems the gang won't take a hint, so fly back to {{ci|Goldenrod}} to finally put them out of their misery.

Walkthrough:Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver/Part 10

2010-10-17T16:40:29Z

Pokemaniac72: /* Mahogany Town */

<center> This is the Bulbapedia walkthrough for [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions]]. This walkthrough follows the remade [[Nintendo DS]] versions, not {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. The guide for those can be found [[Appendix:Gold and Silver walkthrough|here]].</center>

-----

== Mahogany Town ==
[[Image:HGSS Mahogany Town.png|thumb|250px|right|Mahogany Town]]

[[Mahogany Town]] is a small, quiet town in northern Johto. On your first visit, the [[Mahogany Gym]] is blocked off, and a man at the town's east end prevents travel to {{rt|44|Johto}}. Buy a {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|RageCandyBar}} for {{pdollar}}300 as a souvenir; you'll eventually trade it to someone in Kanto for a TM. There is no official Poké Mart here, but the Souvenir Shop in the center of town sells odd items (like {{DL|Valuable item|TinyMushroom}}s) and the standard Poké Balls and Potions. There's certainly nothing suspicious about the two thugs in the shop, or the poorly-concealed radio antenna in the tree outside. If you flip open your [[Pokégear]] and turn on the radio, you won't hear any of the normal stations. Instead, a strange radio pulse is being broadcast on all channels. There's something suspicious about that Souvenir Shop, but there's nothing you can do just yet.

Head up north to check out the [[Lake of Rage]]. You may have done these next few parts earlier in the game. Whichever of these parts you have done, just skip over parts below until you come across something you haven't done.

== Route 43 ==
[[Image:Johto Route43 Map.gif|frame|right|Route 43]]

{{rt|43|Johto}} is a rural, tree-lined path that runs north-south between [[Mahogany Town]] and the [[Lake of Rage]]. To the north, you'll find two places where you can access the Lake of Rage. [[Team Rocket]] has taken over the guardhouse here, and anyone who tries to pass through the building will get shaken down for {{pdollar}}1,000 as a "toll". Fight a few Trainers, and wander north towards the lake.

== Lake of Rage ==
[[Image:HGSS Lake of Rage Wet.png|thumb|350px|right|The flooded Lake of Rage]]

The [[Lake of Rage]] is a large lake, brimming with clear water. It used to be known as a fishing spot with the liveliest {{p|Magikarp}} around, but now a raging [[red Gyarados]] dominates the entire lake. It's also {{DL|Weather|Heavy Rain|raining heavily}}, which has flooded the small forest to the west of the lake. {{m|Surf}} out onto the water to collect all the items, then approach the red Gyarados. Whether you catch it, defeat it, or let it get away, you'll spot the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Red Scale}} floating nearby - take this to [[Mr. Pokémon]] back on {{rt|30|Johto}} to trade it for the {{DL|Experience-affecting item|Exp. Share}}.

After battling the {{p|Gyarados}} and swimming back to the shore, you'll see a man in a black cape with a {{p|Dragonite}} standing near the sign. He introduces himself as [[Lance]], and asks you to assist him in his investigation. 
Follow him back to {{to|Mahogany}}.

=== Later... ===

Visit the lake again on a Wednesday after you run [[Team Rocket]] out of Mahogany Town. You'll find that the water level has dropped, altering the area's layout. This is the only time that you can meet certain Trainers and get particular items, so it's worth it to return in the middle of the week.

== Rocket Hideout - Mahogany ==

When you enter the Souvenir Shop, you'll walk in on [[Lance]]'s {{p|Dragonite}} persuading the thugs to talk. Lance shoves a cabinet out of the way, and reveals a set of stairs leading to the basement. Walk down the stairs, and you will find yourself in Team Rocket's [[Team Rocket HQ|underground base]].

As soon as you step in front of any {{p|Persian}} statue, the security camera inside will alert two Rocket grunts to attack you. Follow the hallway to the west, and turn south at the first opening. Turn south again before reaching another Persian statue, and battle Scientist Gregg. Flip the switch on the PC to deactivate the security cameras, and pick up the {{DL|Battle item|Guard Spec.}} Head back north, and turn east near the second Persian statue to pick up a {{DL|Potion|Hyper Potion}}. Walk all the way south, and follow the hallway to the west, where you'll find a {{DL|Valuable item|Nugget}}, a warp to the entrance, and the stairs leading to the next floor.

When you walk down the stairs, you'll meet up with [[Lance]] again, who will heal your Pokémon to full health. You'll see the door to the generator room nearby, but it's locked up tight. Fight past the Rocket grunts, and take the stairs in the southeast.

[[Lance]] has discovered that in order to shut off the radio transmitter, you need the voice of [[Petrel]], one of [[Team Rocket]]'s executives. Evidently, he's hiding out in their leader's office, which is protected by a password - so in order to access the radio broadcast room, you need Petrel's voice; but to get that, you need to track down the two passwords to unlock Petrel's office first. If you're looking to only fight a few Rockets, track down the female grunt nearby, and the male grunt to the southwest; the female gives you the first password - "SLOWPOKETAIL" - while the male tells you the second one - "RATICATETAIL". Grab the {{DL|Battle item|X Special}} and the {{DL|Vitamin|Protein}} in the southwest, pick up the {{TM|49|Snatch}} to the northeast, and a {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Full Heal}} along the east wall. Take the stairs in the northeast back to B2F.

Head south and check out the machinery to find a hidden {{DL|Battle item|X Sp. Def}}. Follow the hallway all the way to the west, and take the stairs back down to B3F.

You've made it to [[Petrel]]'s office, and you've collected the two passwords needed to open the door - and [[Silver (game)|look who]] shows up with such great timing. It seems that [[Lance]] defeated him easily, and he's still stewing over what Lance said to him. He shoves you before running off again, leaving you to confront Petrel. Don't forget to grab the {{DL|Poké Ball|Ultra Ball}} nearby.

When you enter the two passwords, the door slides away, and you walk up to... [[Giovanni]]?! Didn't he run off after disbanding the team three years ago? He did indeed, and the purple-haired copycat is [[Petrel]], the second of [[Team Rocket]]'s executives that you'll have to fight (after [[Proton]] in the [[Slowpoke Well]]). He's so confident that you won't succeed, he even tells you the password to the room with the broadcasting machine - "Hail Giovanni" - but unfortunately, it only works when it's in his voice. Get ready to battle!

When you beat him, he runs off. Once he leaves, the {{p|Murkrow}} that was sitting nearby demonstrates its ability to mimic voices. It copied [[Petrel]]'s voice, and it remembers the password! It runs back the way you got here, but make a quick detour up the southern stairs to find {{TM|46|Thief}} before following it. It runs all the way back to the generator room and screams the password at the door, mimicking the voice of Petrel. The voice-recognition system unlocks the door, and Murkrow runs off. But just as you step up to the machine, [[Ariana]], another executive, stops you. She and a Rocket grunt are more than happy to finish you off in a two-on-one battle, but [[Lance]] shows up just in time.

Even though she's been defeated, [[Ariana]] doesn't seem to care. She tells you that the broadcast experiment was a complete success, and that this hideout has served its purpose. With that, [[Team Rocket]] pulls out of {{to|Mahogany}} for good. [[Lance]] inspects the generator, and tells you that the only way to disrupt the signal is to force the six {{p|Electrode}} that are powering the machine to faint. Lance splits the job with you, so you only need to battle three. Lance says that the signal has stopped, and gives you {{HM|05|Whirlpool}} to show his appreciation. Run up the stairs, and step on the warp to get back to the entrance. 
Now you can challenge the [[Mahogany Gym]]!

=== Mahogany Gym ===


{{sign|DPcity|header}}
{{sign|DPcity|title|Mahogany Town Pokémon Gym Leader: Pryce}}
{{sign|DPcity|The Teacher of Winter's Harshness}}
{{sign|DPcity|footer}}

The [[Mahogany Gym]] specializes in {{type2|Ice}}s, so {{t|Fire}}- and {{type2|Fighting}} attacks will generally be the most effective here; however, many of the Pokémon here are {{t|Water}}/{{t|Ice}}-types, so {{type2|Electric}}s wouldn't be a bad idea, either. [[Pryce]] is at home in the winter wilderness, and has installed slick, icy tiles in his Gym to thwart all but the most determined Trainers. To reach him, you'll need to manipulate the blocks that are sitting out on the slick ice.

In the first room, walk straight across the ice to bump into a block, sending it skidding into a second block. Slide ←, ↑, →, ↑ to reach the door.

In the second room, walk up around Skier Diana and slide → into the two blocks. Head up to reach the door.

In the final room, walk past Boarder Deandre and slide → across the ice to the two blocks. Walk ↑ to fight Skier Jill, then slide →, ↓, ←, ↑, →, ↑, →, ↑ to fight Boarder Gerardo. After that battle, slide ← then ↑ to reach Pryce. His {{p|Seel}} and {{p|Dewgong}} can attack with the {{m|Snore}} and {{m|Sleep Talk}} moves, so don't let your guard down, even if they're asleep.

After defeating him, [[Pryce]] gives out the {{badge|Glacier}}, which increases your party's {{stat|Special Attack}} and {{stat|Special Defense}}, and also allows the use of {{m|Whirlpool}} in the field. Pryce also gives you {{TM|07|Hail}}, a symbol of winter's harshness. One more badge to go!

When you step outside the Gym, {{prof|Elm}} calls you about strange radio broadcasts that mention [[Team Rocket]]. It seems the gang won't take a hint, so fly back to {{ci|Goldenrod}} to finally put them out of their misery.

Walkthrough:Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver/Part 7

2010-10-17T16:33:44Z

Pokemaniac72: /* Detour for an HM */

<center> This is the Bulbapedia walkthrough for [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions]]. This walkthrough follows the remade [[Nintendo DS]] versions, not {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. The guide for those can be found [[Appendix:HeartGold and SoulSilver walkthrough|here]].</center>

-----

== Ecruteak City ==
[[Image:HGSS Ecruteak City.png|thumb|300px|right|Ecruteak City]]

Welcome to {{ci|Ecruteak}}. The city has an air of mystery surrounding it, with all but one of Johto's legendary Pokémon having ties to the area. Upon entering the local Poké Center, Trainers will run into [[Bill]], the inventor of the PC Storage System. The city holds a few unique attractions; the Kimono Dance Theater, and what remains of the twin towers: the [[Burned Tower]] in the west, and the [[Bell Tower]] in the east.

=== Bill to the Rescue! ===

Stop by the Poké Center and you will find [[Bill]]. It seems that he has just enabled Wi-Fi capabilities for every Poké Center in Johto. He leaves on his way home to {{ci|Goldenrod}}, but pay him a visit sometime to receive an {{p|Eevee}}, a rare Pokémon that can evolve into one of seven variations.

=== Find that Treasure! ===

Stop inside the house between the Poké Center and the Gym. Talk to the guy inside, and he'll give you the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Dowsing MCHN}}. This handy machine shows up on the touch screen, and reacts to hidden objects nearby with lights and rapid noise. Use it all over the region, because you never know where you'll find a treasure!

=== Kimono Dance Theater ===

As you enter the building, one of the [[Kimono Girl]]s is on the stage yelling at [[Team Rocket|an intruder]] that's harassing her. Step up onto the stage and beat the Rocket grunt to scare him off. As you step down from the stage, a member of the audience thanks you for getting rid of the Rocket, and gives you {{HM|03|Surf}}. This allows you to swim across any body of water, small or large, after obtaining Ecruteak's Gym badge.

=== Detour for an HM ===

Take a quick detour and head east from the city. Grab the {{TM|65|Shadow Claw}} to the north, and walk east towards [[Mt Mortar]]'s western entrance. When you approach the mountain, a Hiker will run out of the cave, and give you {{HM|04|Strength}}, which lets you move small boulders around. You can actually go across Mt Mortar now and reach Mahogany Town. There you can face of Team Rocket earlier than before, but the real benefit is at the Lake of Rage north of here. This is covered in a later part of the walkthrough. If you go to the Lake of Rage, you will get a Level 30 Red Gyrados 3 Gym Leaders early. Don't miss out on this oppurtunity to add power to your team. Now return to Ecruteak.

=== The Burned Tower ===

The site of the charred, crumbling ruins of the Brass Tower is located in the city's northwest district. Now known as the [[Burned Tower]], it was once as majestic as its counterpart, the [[Bell Tower]] in the east. Built 700 years ago, it was said to be the roost of {{p|Lugia|an immense, silver-colored Pokémon}}. However, 150 years ago, a lightning bolt struck the tower, igniting an intense fire that raged for three days. The silver Pokémon that roosted here, and {{p|Ho-Oh|the glorious, rainbow-colored Pokémon}} that roosted on the Bell Tower, escaped to the skies unharmed, and a sudden downpour quenched the fire. The silver Pokémon was chased off by the inferno, while the rainbow Pokémon resurrected [[Legendary beasts|three nameless Pokémon]] that perished in the blaze before flying off as well.

Immediately upon entering the tower, you will see two people investigating the ruins. One is [[Morty]], the Ecruteak Gym Leader, and the other is [[Eusine]], Morty's friend. Both are very knowledgeable of the legends that surround the city. Eusine, an expert researcher on the legendary beasts, has even dedicated his life to tracking and meeting {{p|Suicune}} face-to-face. He would appear to be close to his goal, as [[Legendary beasts|three regal-looking Pokémon]] are visible through the charred hole in the floor, standing motionless on the lower level. After the two explain the city's legend, walk to the north to find [[Silver (game)|your rival]] again.

After battling the rival, you are free to explore the rest of the tower. Fight the two Firebreathers and grab the handful of items on the first floor, and then climb downstairs to the basement. The legendary beasts will awaken when you try to step down the stairs near the ladder. {{p|Raikou}} and {{p|Entei}} leap quickly around the room before running off, and {{p|Suicune}}, pausing a moment to examine your character, follows the others a short time later. [[Eusine]] hurries down the ladder and marvels at seeing Suicune, as he's been chasing it for so long. Now that the beasts are awake, you can track down Raikou and Entei by using the PokéGear's Map function. With the {{m|Rock Smash}} and {{m|Strength}} moves at your disposal, take a few minutes to fully explore the tower for items. This area is the only area in the game where you can find wild {{p|Magmar}}, so don't miss out.

=== Bell Tower ===

Previously known as the Tin Tower, the [[Bell Tower]] is off-limits to everyone without Ecruteak's Gym badge. Having the badge grants you access to the tower, but the monk inside won't let you above the first floor. You'll have to wait until you have all eight badges{{sup|HGSS}}, the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Rainbow Wing}}{{sup|HGSS}}, and the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Clear Bell}}{{sup|HG}} to find {{p|Ho-Oh}} atop the tower.

=== Ecruteak Gym ===

{{sign|DPcity|footer}}

The [[Ecruteak Gym]] specializes in {{type2|Ghost}}s, so {{type2|Dark}} attacks are the most effective here. Pure {{type2|Normal}}s, like {{p|Sentret}} or {{p|Raticate}}, are immune to Ghost-type moves, so teaching them non-Normal moves (like {{m|Surf}} or {{m|Dig}}) will allow them to damage the ghosts without much fear of retaliation. Be careful of {{m|Mean Look}}, which prevents the target Pokémon from switching; not a real problem by itself, but a Pokémon that is trapped due to that is a perfect target for a {{m|Curse}}. The Gym's puzzle remains the same, though updated, as it was in Gold & Silver: you have to navigate across the secret path over a dark void. [[Morty]]'s junior Trainers are all holding small candles that illuminate parts of the path around them so that you can see. There are four Mediums on the path, and Morty waits at the end.

[[Morty]] hands over the {{badge|Fog}}, which ensures that all Pokémon up to level 50 obey without question, and allows the use of {{m|Surf}} outside of battle. He also gives you {{TM|30|Shadow Ball}} as a prize. 
Now head west to {{rt|38|Johto}}.

== Route 38 ==
[[Image:Johto Route38 Map.gif|frame|right|Route 38]]

{{rt|38|Johto}} is a short route that connects to {{rt|39|Johto}} in the west, near the [[MooMoo Farm]]. The farmers there are troubled by their {{p|Miltank}}'s recent lack of energy. Lass Dana asks for your phone number; she may call occasionally for a rematch, or to give you ThunderStones. Trade numbers with Schoolboy Chad to be alerted when {{p|Snubbull}} are swarming here.

Continue west to Route 39.

[[Image:Johto Route39 Map.gif|frame|right|Route 39]]

{{rt|39|Johto}} is another short route, connecting {{rt|38|Johto}} and [[Olivine City]]. As you head west towards the farm, you'll meet the [[Johto Safari Zone|Safari Zone Warden]] [[Baoba]]. He is opening his latest Safari Zone location near [[Cianwood City]], across the sea to the southwest. Swap phone numbers with him, and he'll call you when it's done.

The [[MooMoo Farm]] is located here, but one of their {{p|Miltank}} has recently fallen ill, and has stopped producing milk. It needs to be fed seven [[Oran Berry]]s to restore its health, and you can grow them easily in the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Berry Pots}}. You can make as many return trips as you need to in order to complete the task. Once you do, the girl on the left will give you the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Seal Case}}, and the girl on the right will give you three Seals. Speak to the farmer's wife, and she'll reward you with {{TM|83|Natural Gift}}. With the Miltank back to normal, the farmer will offer to sell you {{DL|Potion|MooMoo Milk}}, which restores 100 HP, for {{pdollar}}500. You can also buy milk by the dozen.

Attack (TCG)

Pokemaniac72: /* Name and description */

{{cleanup}}

Attacks are the TCG's equivalent to [[moves]]. Attacking the opponent is, like in the video games, usually the key strategy to the Trading Card Game. Nearly every card has at least one attack, though not all attacks do damage.

==Requirements==
The large majority of attacks require a certain number of energy cards to be attached to the Pokémon. The energy cost for each attack is printed to the left of the attack name. The {{TCG|Colorless}} energy symbol means that any energy card can be used to pay the cost. Some attacks may require additional costs, such as discarding a card. For example, a fire symbol to the left of an attack means that the attack requires one fire energy. For higher power attacks, more energy cards are usually required. If an attack called Leaf Storm on a Torterra Lv. X Card does 120 damage, it will have a higher energy amount required to be attached to the Torterra Card. It might need, maybe, 3 Grass Energy Cards and 2 Colorless Energy cards. It also may require to discard 2 or 3 energy cards from the Torterra or even a cost of recoil damage to Torterra's HP. This is reflected in a Rattata Level 15 card that has an attack called Tackle that does 20 damage. This attack may only require 1 colorless energy and depending on the card, may not require a special type of energy card at all.

==Name and description==
To the right of the energy cost is the name of the attack. Most of the time, a description will follow below, detailing the effects of the move. If there is no description, the attack will just deal direct damage without any side effects. An effect may include a special condition or making the opponent discard a card. Effects can also have negative effects on you, such as making you discard cards or take recoil damage.

==Damage==
To the right of the name and the description, there is a number, usually divisible by ten. This is the damage that the attack does.

Various symbols next to the number indicate whether the damage will vary.

{| {{Bluetable|background: white; margin: auto;}}
|- style="background: #ccf;"
! Symbol
! Meaning
|-
| +
| Indicates an increase in damage, under certain conditions
|-
| -
| Indicates a decrease in damage, under certain conditions
|-
| ×
| Indicates the value will be multiplied, based on conditions
|-
| ?
| The amount of damage depends entirely on conditions (e.g. opponent's HP)
|}

Sometimes, there may be no number at all. This indicates that the attack deals no damage to the opposing Pokémon. Again, one should refer to the description of the attack.
