The '''Rising Volt Tacklers''' (Japanese: '''ライジングボルテッカーズ''' ''Rising Volteccers'') is a team of adventurers led by [[Friede]] in {{aniseries|HZ}}. Initially, it was founded by Friede, [[Captain Pikachu]], [[Orla]], and [[Ludlow]] in [[Hoenn]]. The Rising Volt Tacklers travel around the {{pkmn|world}} aboard their airship and base of operations, the [[Brave Olivine]]. After [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] joined them at the beginning of the series, their main mission became to find and gather the [[Six Heroes]], which led them to become the archenemies of the [[Explorers]].

After Friede's disappearance in ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', the Explorers framed the team as villains, which forced them to disband and its members to go their separate ways. In ''[[HZ100|We Are the Rising Volt Tacklers!]]'', the team was re-formed with most of the original members rejoining at the Brave Olivine in [[Galar]], now with the goal to stop the Explorers' plans and reveal the truth about the Rising Volt Tacklers to the world. In ''[[HZ122|Roy vs. Friede: Wings of Fire!]]'', because Roy re-formed the team during Friede's absence, he was acknowledged by Friede as the founder of the new Rising Volt Tacklers and officially became its new leader.

In [[HZ136]], they succeeded in their goal of eradicating the [[Laquium]] for good and stopping the Explorers' plan. Additionally, their name and reputation were cleared after the truth about Laquium was revealed, and [[Spinel]], the one who framed them, was arrested for his crimes.

===Pre-series===
[[File:Rising Volt Tacklers formed.png|thumb|250px|The formation of the Rising Volt Tacklers]]
Sometime prior to the events of the series, the [[Pokémon Professor]] [[Friede]], who quit his job at [[Exceed]], was [[fishing]] in the [[Paldea]] [[region]] with his {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} and his former mentor [[Ludlow]]. Friede met up with a teacher of his, [[Lucca]], who wanted him to meet someone. Upon meeting a {{pkmn2|wild}} [[Captain Pikachu|Pikachu]] trying to fly, Friede decided to do research on him and tried to befriend the {{pkmn|category|Mouse Pokémon}}. Although he failed to befriend {{P|Pikachu}}, Friede didn't give up as he offered the Mouse Pokémon some food. Eventually, Friede decided to fly up to sky to see why Pikachu wanted to fly, realizing that he wanted to see the horizons. Seeing Pikachu falling, Friede and Charizard saved him, winning his friendship. Friede asked Pikachu to be his partner, which he accepted. Later, Friede asked Ludlow if he can have his boat and was okay with it. The two arrived in [[Slateport City]] in [[Hoenn]] where Friede met up with his childhood friend [[Orla]] and asked her to turn Ludlow's boat into an airship. Through her help, the boat turned into the [[Brave Olivine]] and the four of them formed the Rising Volt Tacklers. Also, Friede decided to [[nickname]] his partner Captain Pikachu.

Later, the four of them met [[Murdock]], [[Wy-Yes]], and [[Mollie]] as they joined the Rising Volt Tacklers, but Wy-Yes eventually decided to leave the team in order to become a journalist for {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Occulture}}. Sometime after Wy-Yes left, Murdock's niece [[Dot]] (who is a well-known streamer known as Nidothing) joined the Rising Volt Tacklers. During their adventures, the Rising Volt Tacklers had various Pokémon from all the different regions settle in with them when they decided to make the Brave Olivine their home. One day, Friede was contacted by Lucca, who was reached out by her mother, [[Diana]], as she asked him to bring her daughter [[Liko]], who was attending [[Indigo Academy]] in the [[Kanto]] region, to Paldea and protect her during the journey there.

==={{aniseries|HZ}}===
[[File:Rising Volt Tacklers vs Explorers.png|thumb|250px|left|[[Friede]] facing the [[Explorers]] for the first time]]
The Rising Volt Tacklers debuted in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]''. They first appeared looking for Liko at Indigo Academy, but they failed to find her because all the students were wearing the same uniforms. Despite this, they decided to try again in finding Liko during the school break with Friede going back to Indigo Academy by himself in order to find her. When Liko clashed with the members of the [[Explorers]], Friede appeared to help her. After nearly getting hit by {{TP|Amethio|Ceruledge}}'s {{m|Psycho Cut}}, Liko and her {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} were protected by the power of her mysterious pendant.

In the [[HZ002|following episode]], Friede took Liko to the Rising Volt Tacklers' airship, where she had her first interaction with the rest of the group. Before Liko could ask more about them, the ship was intercepted by members of the Explorers and another battle between Friede and [[Amethio]] ensued. After Liko almost gave herself to the Explorers, her Sprigatito unleashed a {{m|Leafage}} strong enough to break the force field around the Wing Deck, but got blown overboard in the process, allowing Amethio to capture her before fleeing with his group.

In ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'', Friede revealed that Liko's mother hired the Rising Volt Tacklers to protect her. The group went to the city where the Explorers were last seen, and [[Murdock's Rockruff]] managed to smell Sprigatito's scent in [[Onia]]. Friede, Liko, and Rockruff chased her back to their temporary base, where Friede engaged Amethio again in a battle to allow for Liko and Rockruff to find where Sprigatito was held captive. After being reunited with her Pokémon, Liko decided to trust in the Rising Volt Tacklers and became part of the group, whose next destination was Paldea.
[[File:Rising Volt Tacklers meet Black Rayquaza.png|thumb|250px|The Rising Volt Tacklers meet the [[Black Rayquaza]] for the first time]]
[[HZ004|Throughout]] their [[HZ005|journey]] to get Liko to Paldea, the Rising Volt Tacklers met a boy named [[Roy]] on an [[Roy's hometown|island]] in Kanto as he helped them repair their ship. Roy [[HZ006|eventually]] decided to join the Rising Volt Tacklers on their adventures, after forming a bond with a {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} that lived with them as he became his first Pokémon and an encounter with a [[Black Rayquaza]] that came out of his [[Ancient Poké Ball]]. The Rising Volt Tacklers helped Liko and Roy become [[HZ007|better at Pokémon battles]]. In addition, Liko and Roy learned of the existence of Dot (who was hiding in her room from the rest of the crew and Liko and Roy up until that point) as they [[HZ008|attempted]] to make friends with her.

In ''[[HZ009|Welcome to Paldea!]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived in Paldea. After Friede failed to reach Liko's mother, they decided to head over to her house as [[Alex]], her father, was home. However, Liko overheard Alex talking to Friede, as he expressed how worried he was about her being on her own and expressed a desire for her to attend school in Paldea. Liko decided to head back to the ship for the night, but was not able to fall sleep. Through Orla and Mollie's advice and a drawing Dot made for her, Liko made up her mind as she left the ship to go back home to tell Alex her decision. Upon arriving home, Liko told her father that she wanted to continue traveling with the Rising Volt Tacklers and attend online classes at the Indigo Academy, which he understood and accepted her decision.
[[File:Liko and Roy with Arboliva.png|thumb|250px|left|[[Liko]] and [[Roy]] with [[Lucius's Arboliva]]]]
Following a lead from Alex and [[Brassius]] [[HZ010|about]] the Black Rayquaza, the Rising Volt Tacklers [[HZ011|investigated]] [[Arboliva's Forest]] where they met a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{TP|Lucius|Arboliva}} that had another Ancient Poké Ball and saw the damage that a forest fire caused to it. The Rising Volt Tacklers worked together to restore the forest and eventually witnessed Liko's pendant reveal an [[Pagogo|unknown Pokémon]], which showed her and Roy a vision. After Arboliva decided to join them, Liko and Roy discovered that it and the Black Rayquaza belonged to [[Lucius]], the Ancient Adventurer. Friede also found out about this through Lucca as she told him that she knew the legend thanks to her mother. Liko [[HZ012|decided]] to meet with her grandmother in [[Galar]] to learn more about her pendant.

However, [[HZ013|before]] they could set off for Galar, they were ambushed by [[Spinel]] of the Explorers who was able to steal [[HZ014|Liko's pendant]] by using his {{p|Beheeyem}} to put her in a trance, which led her to lose part of her [[HZ015|memory]]. While most of the crew was searching for Liko, Dot had some help in streamer and [[Levincia]] [[Gym Leader]] {{an|Iono}} in finding her. Dot decided to leave the airship in order to find Liko, causing Roy to finally meet her in person. Meanwhile, Liko was able to recover the memories she lost while under Beheeyem's trance and met up with Roy and Dot, meeting the latter for the first time. After reuniting with Friede, Liko realized that her pendant was stolen, so the Rising Volt Tacklers made a plan to get it back from Spinel. Dot officially became a [[HZ016|Pokémon Trainer]] with the {{TP|Dot|Quaxly}} that have been living with the Rising Volt Tacklers as her first Pokémon. After they managed to get Liko's pendant back from Spinel, the Rising Volt Tacklers set off for the Galar region.
[[File:Rising Volt Tacklers vs Moltres.png|thumb|250px|The Rising Volt Tacklers battling [[Lucius's Moltres]]]]
During [[HZ017|their]] [[HZ018|journey]] to Galar, the younger members became curious as to how Captain Pikachu was able to fly during a battle against Roy's Fuecoco and {{TP|Roy|Wattrel}}. After failing to get an answer from Friede, Liko, Roy, and Dot asked the rest of the members, but no luck. However, their question did get the rest of the members curious as well, turning to Friede for answers. Although he was reluctant to answer their question, Friede decided to tell them as to how he met Captain Pikachu and the formation of the Rising Volt Tacklers. In ''[[HZ019|The Bittersweet Truth]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived in Galar. They decided that their first stop was at [[Motostoke]] before heading to [[Hammerlocke]] by train.

However, [[HZ020|after hearing from]] [[Kabu]] that he saw the Black Rayquaza flying to the west of Motostoke, they [[HZ021|decided]] to take a detour to the [[Galar Mine]]. Here, Liko, Roy, and Friede [[HZ022|encountered]] the Explorers again and they battle them. However, a {{rf|Galarian}} {{TP|Lucius|Moltres}} that had an Ancient Poké Ball arrived and attacked them, which led to Captain Pikachu getting injured. Fortunately, Liko and Roy managed to bring Captain Pikachu out of the mine while Friede continued his battle against Amethio. [[HZ023|After recovering]] at the Motostoke's [[Pokémon Center]], Liko and Roy reunited with Friede and the three of them decided to confront Moltres again in order to calm it down. Through their teamwork, they were able to do it. After Terapagos reappeared, they saw a vision and Moltres decided to join them, returning to its Ancient Poké Ball. However, Terapagos didn't return to its pendant form, as {{TP|Liko|Hatenna}} sensed its presence and revealed it to her Trainer. Friede hid Terapagos while he, Liko, and Roy decided to take it to the Brave Olivine.
[[File:Rising Volt Tacklers meet Terapagos.png|thumb|250px|left|The Rising Volt Tacklers properly meeting [[Pagogo|Terapagos]]]]
[[HZ024|After showing the rest of their teammates Terapagos]], Liko, Roy, and Friede headed for Hammerlocke to find the [[ancient castle]] that Diana was at. Through her {{p|Squawkabilly}}, they were able to meet with Diana, who explained her past and the history of Terapagos. However, they were ambushed by the Explorers, who followed them to their location in order to take Terapagos. [[HZ025|Fortunately]], they were able to escape with Diana joining them as she showed Liko information about Lucius and his remaining Pokémon. [[HZ026|After Terapagos did some exploring of its surroundings]], Diana gave Liko a belt that was owned by Lucius to hold the Ancient Poké Balls. Liko then told her friends that she wanted to find Lucius's remaining Pokémon and look for [[Laqua]], which they agreed. However, due to not having a lot of information of the three remaining Pokémon, they decided to continue pursuing Black Rayquaza. [[HZ027|After Dot got misled in finding information about the Black Rayquaza's whereabouts]], Roy decided to ask someone if they knew anything about the Ancient Poké Balls, which Diana tells him that she knows someone who could help. [[HZ028|However]], Diana's friend [[Tepen]] turned out to have turned into stealing. Fortunately, Liko, Diana, and their friends helped Tepen realize the error of his ways. Although Tepen wasn't able to help them get information about the Ancient Poké Balls, Liko and her friends were able to get intel on a contact of his. [[HZ029|Through Tepen's information]], Liko and her friends met [[Karna]] as she designs Poké Balls, but couldn't help them with information about the Ancient Poké Balls either.
[[File:Rising Volt Tacklers meet with Lapras.png|thumb|250px|The Rising Volt Tacklers meeting with [[Lucius's Lapras]] and its "pirate crew"]]
Due to not getting the information they needed about the Ancient Poké Balls, the Rising Volt Tacklers decided to continue their search for the remaining [[Six Heroes]]. [[HZ030|Also]], the Rising Volt Tacklers took in a wild {{p|Polteageist}} and {{p|Sinistea}} that decided to live on the Brave Olivine. [[HZ031|Eventually]], the Rising Volt Tacklers got information about a {{TP|Lucius|Lapras}} and they realized that it had to be one of Lucius's Pokémon, so they decided to investigate. After finding it, they failed to see it because of the {{m|Mist}} covering it and the younger members witnessed two Pokémon appearing on the ship. However, through Friede's plan, the Rising Volt Tacklers were able to see Lapras with scars and they found out that it used the mist to cover any ship that went nearby to give to its fellow Pokémon the chance to steal the food cargo on them. After preventing the group from stealing anything, the Rising Volt Tacklers followed Lapras and its group. [[HZ032|However]], they were stopped when Lapras used {{m|Ice Beam}} on the ship. Liko, Roy, and Friede decided to confront Lapras on their own. Terapagos attempted to reason with Lapras, even bringing out Arboliva and Moltres for help. Liko, Roy, and Friede were then shown another vision of Lucius. After spending time with Lapras and its friends, the Rising Volt Tacklers got ready to leave. However, Lapras decided to join them as its friends encouraged to go with them and it returned into its Ancient Poké Ball.
[[File:Terapagos and Rayquaza.png|thumb|250px|left|Terapagos facing the Black Rayquaza]]
[[HZ033|Before setting off]], the Rising Volt Tacklers witnessed the Black Rayquaza arriving to their location. However, after Amethio battled and got defeated by the Black Rayquaza, the Rising Volt Tacklers witnessed Terapagos transforming and battling the [[Legendary Pokémon]]. Unfortunately, Terapagos collapsed and the Black Rayquaza left. Later, Diana told Friede that she was planning to travel alone again, which he understood and accepted her decision. The next day, Liko and Roy did a training battle with Diana, which led them to victory when Sprigatito landed a hit on Diana's {{p|Arcanine}}. After the battle, Liko and Roy thanked Diana for the experience, as it will help them be better Trainers. [[HZ034|Upon hearing of Diana's departure]], Liko and Roy decided to do a surprise farewell party. Through the rest of the members help, Liko and Roy were able to surprise Diana, which she appreciated. Before leaving, Diana gave Liko her adventure log. After dropping Diana off, the Rising Volt Tacklers agree to continue their search for the remaining Six Heroes. However, before doing so, the Rising Volt Tacklers decided to return to Paldea for information on Terapagos.

[[HZ035|During their return journey to Paldea]], the Rising Volt Tacklers began to run out of funds needed to pay for supplies, so the adults decided to take some jobs in order to raise money. After Friede got a job request from a [[Shine|friend]] of his, he took the assignment with Liko and Roy accompanying him. They were able to fulfill the job and stop a group of {{OBP|Pokémon hunters|HZ035}}. [[HZ037|Also]], Friede got another job assignment from another friend of his who is the leader of a group of {{OBP|archeologists|HZ037}}, as they were having trouble with a group of {{p|Sandile}} and its {{p|Krokorok|evolved}} {{p|Krookodile|forms}}. Fortunately, Roy found out the problem but, to their disappointment, for this reason the Rising Volt Tacklers were no longer needed to do the job. [[HZ038|Also]], the Rising Volt Tacklers took in a wild {{p|Maushold}} when it decided to come live on the Brave Olivine until [[HZ094|it eventually]] [[HZ121|decided to go with]] Mollie. [[HZ041|In addition]], Dot was reunited with her mother, as she came to bring her home because her time with the team was a trial period, but let her stay as a permanent member of the team, after seeing her friendship with her Pokémon partners, Quaxly and {{TP|Dot|Tinkatink}}, Liko, and Roy, and having a battle against each other.
[[File:HZ045.png|thumb|250px|The Rising Volt Tacklers battling the Black Rayquaza for the first time]]
In ''[[HZ042|Transform! Hero of the Seas, Palafin]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived back in Paldea. [[HZ042|Sometime after returning to Paldea]], the [[HZ043|team]] [[HZ044|learned]] of the Explorers' plan to capture the Black Rayquaza and decided to investigate a mysterious tower they had built near Levincia. However, when Friede entered the tower, it turned out to actually be a trap set up by Spinel, locking Friede up inside while the rest of the Explorers admins started the capture operation at a lighthouse outside of Levincia. Liko, Roy, and Ludlow hurried to the site to stop them, with the rest of the team moving the Brave Olivine to the site as well to allow Dot to jump down to the lighthouse and use a shutdown program on the device the Explorers had used to summon Rayquaza. While Friede successfully escaped from Spinel's trap and Roy managed to stop [[Chalce]] from catching Rayquaza, things quickly took a turn for the worse when Rayquaza's {{m|Draco Meteor}} shower started devastating the scenery and [[Coral]] made a reckless attack on Rayquaza in a rage by having her {{p|Glalie}} use {{m|Self-Destruct}}, sending Rayquaza crashing straight into the Brave Olivine and severely damaging it. Fortunately, Murdock was able to safely land the Brave Olivine. [[HZ045|After the Explorers retreated]], Liko, Roy, Dot and Friede battled Rayquaza. Despite having help from Amethio, the four of them couldn't defeat Rayquaza, and the Legendary Pokémon left once again. In the aftermath of the battle, Liko, Roy, and Dot decided to learn more about the Terastal phenomenon and be able to use it in battle. As such, they went to study at [[Naranja Academy]], while the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers focused on repairing the Brave Olivine.
[[File:OPJ32 Rotom Photo HZ074.png|thumb|250px|left|Liko, Roy, and [[Dot]] battling [[Lucius's Kleavor]]]]
[[HZ046|During]] [[HZ049|their]] [[HZ050|time]] [[HZ054|doing]] [[HZ057|repairs]] to the airship, the Rising Volt Tacklers took a group of wild {{p|Tatsugiri}} as new traveling companions. After the repairs on the Brave Olivine were finished and the younger members were done with their studies at Naranja Academy, the Rising Volt Tacklers set off to search for the Six Heroes once more in ''[[HZ068|Into a New Sky! The Brave Olivine!]]''. Their first destination was the land of [[Kitakami]], planning to meet up with the Terapagos researcher [[Briar]]. After arriving in Kitakami and [[HZ069|spending an evening]] at the local [[Countryside Harvest Festival]], the team learned from [[Carmine]] that Briar was currently at the [[Crystal Pool]] on [[Oni Mountain]]. Friede and the junior members of the team [[HZ070|subsequently]] [[HZ071|traveled]] there, meeting Briar and exchanging information about Terapagos with her. While both sides learned a lot, the Rising Volt Tacklers didn't gain any new leads, so they decided to focus on finding the remaining three members of the Six Heroes for now.

Through an unexpected stroke of luck, Dot discovered that a photographer named [[Perrin]] had seen {{TP|Lucius|Kleavor}} in Kitakami. [[HZ072|Through]] [[HZ073|Perrin's help]], Liko, Roy, Dot, and Friede found Kleavor. After some convincing from Lapras, having a battle with the younger members of the Rising Volt Tacklers and seeing Liko's selfness for Pokémon, Kleavor showed her, Roy, Dot, and Friede a vision of Lucius of the day they meet. Kleavor then decided to join the group and it returned to its Ancient Poké Ball.
[[File:OPJ32 Rotom Photo HZ076.png|thumb|250px|right|The Rising Volt Tacklers and [[Diana]] summoning [[Rystal]] at the [[Crystal Pool]]]]
[[HZ074|The next day]], Liko and her friends reunite with Diana, as they exchanged information about the Explorers. After returning to the Crystal Pool and were able to summon [[Rystal]], a member of the original Explorers, Liko and the group found out that she and Lucius were her great-great grandparents. Liko and the group then [[HZ075|listened]] to Rystal telling everyone how she formed the Explorers with Lucius and [[Gibeon]] and they were able to reach Laqua. However, Liko and the group had to bid farewell to Rystal when she had to return to her proper time. Liko and the group then bid farewell to Diana, as she intended to continue traveling her own way. [[HZ076|Through Wy-Yes's help]], the Rising Volt Tacklers decided to head to [[Olivine City]] in the [[Johto]] region in order to search for {{p|Entei}}. In ''[[HZ077|Ludlow's Homecoming!]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived in Johto. [[HZ078|After falling to find Entei in Johto]], the Rising Volt Tacklers head back to Paldea when Briar revealed that a Pokémon similar to Entei had been spotted in [[Area Zero]].
[[File:OPJ32 Rotom Photo HZ083.png|thumb|170px|left|The Rising Volt Tacklers battling the Black Rayquaza for the second time]]
In ''[[HZ079|Over the Top!]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived back to Paldea. After Liko, Roy, and Dot defeated [[Geeta]], together with Friede, [[HZ080|they entered Area Zero]] and met up with Briar. [[HZ081|Upon finding the Pokémon similar to Entei]], they realized that it was a [[Paradox Pokémon]] named {{TP|Lucius|Gouging Fire}}. The four Rising Volt Tacklers battled Gouging Fire when it wanted to test their strength. Through their teamwork, they defeated Gouging Fire, who showed them a vision of when it first met Lucius. Gouging Fire then decided to join the group and returned to its Ancient Poké Ball. However, it and the rest of the Six Heroes come out to summon the Black Rayquaza, who arrived at the group's location. Liko, Roy, Dot, and Friede [[HZ082|battled]] the Black Rayquaza once again and, after a tough battle, they were able to return Rayquaza to its Ancient Poké Ball. Rayquaza then showed them a vision of the original Explorers reaching Laqua. The group then bid farewell to Briar and, following Rayquaza, [[HZ083|made their way to the paradise]].
[[File:OPJ32 Rotom Photo HZ088.png|170px|thumb|right|The Rising Volt Tacklers and [[Amethio]] battling [[Gibeon]] and his [[White Zygarde]]]]
In ''[[HZ084|Where the Land Meets the Sky]]'', after stopping at [[Pericarp Town]] near Laqua, Friede and the younger members journeyed to the paradise, with the Six Heroes helping along the way. [[HZ085|Upon entering Laqua]], Friede and the younger members explored until they came across the barrier, which Pagogo removed. [[HZ086|However]], Friede and the younger members were then confronted by the Explorers. [[HZ087|Although they were able to defeat the Explorers admins]], Friede and the younger members were too late to prevent Gibeon from reaching the [[Laquium]]. Fortunately, Gibeon's [[White Zygarde|Zygarde]] was only trying to free Lucius from the Laquium. Friede and the younger members met Lucius, as he explained to them that he was able to see the outside world through Zygarde. Due to Friede's partners going berserk from the Laquium and knocking each other out, the younger members with Amethio battled Gibeon. [[HZ088|However]], Zygarde forfeited the battle because it was testing their strength and resolve, as it bid its Trainer farewell and disassembled itself.

In ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', Spinel released his own supply of Laquium that he had gathered after Pagogo and the Six Heroes purified the land. This act caused the Six Heroes, barring Rayquaza, to go berserk and indiscriminately attack anything in their sight. Rayquaza shielded the Rising Volt Tacklers from its comrades' attacks and ordered them to escape, but as the Brave Olivine attempted to leave, a strong gust of wind caught Friede and his Pokémon off-guard. Friede managed to get Captain Pikachu to safety before he and Charizard were blown off the ship. Afterwards, the group started flying around the area looking for Friede, but couldn't find him. Meanwhile, Spinel had the entire area around Laqua closed off, and later publicly framed the Rising Volt Tacklers for the destruction at Laqua, casting them as a dangerous group to the public eye. With their original task completed and being unable to function without Friede, the group made the decision to disband; Liko returned to [[Indigo Academy]], Roy going on a [[HZ112|training]] [[HZ113|journey]] [[HZ114|in the]] [[Kalos]] region, and Dot returning to her home.
[[File:Re-formed Rising Volt Tacklers MV.png|250px|thumb|left|The Rising Volt Tacklers re-formed by Roy, Dot, and Liko]]
A year after the events at Laqua, in ''[[HZ090|Eyes to the Skies Once Again (Part One)]]'', Dot and Roy discovered a case of Laquium affecting a wild {{p|Slaking}}, and after the boy and [[Ult]] defeated it, Roy decided to visit the Indigo Academy to ask for Liko's help in finding more signs of Laquium. [[HZ091|After reuniting with her]], Roy explained the situation. At first, Liko refused to help him and Dot, as she was accustomed to being at Indigo Academy and didn't want everyone there to know she was a Rising Volt Tackler out of fear of bearing the group's tarnished reputation. However, after seeing Roy battling [[Ann]] and having a battle against him herself, Liko ultimately decided to join and assist in clearing the group's name while revealing the truth to the public.

In ''[[HZ092|Following Traces of Laquium]]'', Liko and Roy tracked down a Laquium sign that Dot found, and ended up battling a pair of Laquium affected {{p|Steelix}}, alongside Ult, who had been following Roy. In the process, Roy and Ult showcased [[Mega Evolution]], with Liko learning about it for the first time.

In ''[[HZ094|The Pokémon Center Lady]]'', Liko and Roy reunited with Mollie, who had returned to the family Pokémon Center at [[Mochew City]]. Mollie disapproved of their decision to restart the team, but after working together to calm a Laquium-afflicted {{p|Vileplume}} down, ultimately respected their decision. The two offered her a spot back in the team, but she declined for the time being, as she knew that she needed to be at the Pokémon Center. Before they parted ways, she promised to them that she would return when the team was fully reunited.
[[File:Ult joins Rising Volt Tacklers.png|250px|thumb|[[Ult]] joining the Rising Volt Tacklers]]
In ''[[HZ095|The Strong Sphere]]'', after Ult saw the effects of the [[Strong Sphere]] on Pokémon, he saved Liko and Roy after their Pokémon were defeated in a [[Double Battle]] by Coral and Sidian. He proceeded to join the two on their journey. In the ''[[HZ096|next episode]]'', after Liko and Roy reunited with the Black Rayquaza, which was under the protection of [[Team Dragon Rampage]], Dot called and informed the two that Murdock had returned to [[Cortondo]] to work with [[Katy]]. In ''[[HZ098|Reunion in Cortondo]]'', the three and Ult met with Murdock at Cortondo. Like Mollie, Murdock disapproved of their decision to restart the team, despite Liko's insistence that they knew what they were getting into. Katy suggested a Pokémon battle to alleviate Murdock's concerns, and in the official rematch, Liko defeated Katy. Impressed by her growth, Murdock ultimately respected their decision and informed them that the Brave Olivine had been dismantled, with its parts being stored in Galar. With this knowledge in hand, the group decided to look for Orla and left Cortondo. Murdock confessed to Katy that he wanted to travel with them despite the fact that he suggested that they disband after the events in Laqua, fearing that he would hold them back. Katy told Murdock that the others had already done so despite their circumstances, causing him to realize the meaning of her words.

In ''[[HZ099|Orla, Grounded]]'', Liko, Roy, Dot, and Ult went to Galar to look for Orla, and it was revealed that Orla had lied about the ship's condition. Rather than dismantling it, she had kept it hidden in a forest, maintaining it from time to time, and the wild Pokémon (apart from Maushold) remained onboard. [[HZ100|After Liko, Roy, Dot, and Ult defeated two members of the Explorers]], [[Indi]] and [[Rubina]], Orla decided to join them in officially re-forming the Rising Volt Tacklers, as the five worked together to clean and rebuild the Brave Olivine. Ludlow, Murdock, and Mollie returned to the team, with Ult deciding to become an official member of the group. Dot then discovered a message had been sent to their app a month prior. After decrypting it and showing it to everyone else, they found out that it was from Friede, who was revealed to be alive and well but in hiding from the Explorers.
[[File:Young Rising Volt Tacklers.png|thumb|250px|left|Dot, Liko, Roy, and Ult deciding to train at [[Blueberry Academy]] in [[Unova]]]]
In ''[[HZ101|Terastallization vs. Mega Evolution!]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived back to Paldea through Dot's suggestion in going to Naranja Academy because everyone there knows the Explorers true nature. Although Dot is able to give Geeta and Clavell the information she had on Laquium and while they understand the situation, they aren't able to help them further without more evidence, but they recommended asking [[Jacq]] for help in their research, which he accepted. Dot also gets a map of Paldea from Penny that shows Laquium Signs around the region. [[HZ102|After returning to the Brave Olivine]], the younger members decided to check out a Laquium Sign near their location. During their investigation, Dot reminds everyone that they need funds to travel around if they want to spread the truth about Laquium, as Roy remembers that most of their funds came from Friede and Captain Pikachu doing various jobs. Later, after Liko, her Pokémon and a {{TP|Liko|Charcadet}}, who decided to become one of her partners, stopped the Laquium Sign, Dot gets a video message from Iono asking for a handshake event as their next collaboration, which she reluctantly agrees to hold it as a [[HZ103|means to earn some money]]. Also, a wild {{TP|Dot|Gimmighoul}} stowed away on the Brave Olivine until Dot decided to [[HZ105|add it to her team]].

[[HZ106|After]] [[HZ107|Roy and Ult infiltrated an Explorers base]], Diana [[HZ108|comes]] for a visit to give the Rising Volt Tacklers information on how to eliminate Laquium once and for all. Also, Diana tells the Rising Volt Tacklers that Spinel has the remaining Six Heroes held captive with Ult backing up her claim, as he saw Lapras and Kleavor trapped in boxes when he was in the Explorers base. Wanting to save the remaining Six Heroes from the Explorers, the Rising Volt Tacklers agreed to find which Exceed building they are being held in, as they realized that Spinel moved them in order to prevent them from finding them. Liko suggests they ask [[Cervantis]], the former Exceed director and Amethio's father, which they agreed. [[HZ109|However]], Liko, Roy, and Ult walked into a trap the Explorers set up for them by faking an email sent by Cervantis. Liko, Roy, and Ult [[HZ110|were forced to battle]] five of the Six Heroes when they used a new improved Strong Sphere called Super Strong Sphere on them to turn them against them. Despite their efforts and help from Amethio, Liko, Roy, and Ult's Pokémon are knocked out by five of the Six Heroes with Coral and Sidian's help. However, the effects of the Super Strong Sphere on five of the Six Heroes wears off and the Explorers left with them. Despite the loss, Liko, Roy, Ult, and Dot [[HZ112|decided]] to do battle training at [[Blueberry Academy]] in the [[Unova]] region after getting a call from Briar. Also, Liko revealed to Roy and Dot that their friend Ann is at Blueberry Academy as an exchange student.
[[File:Rising Volt Tacklers reunited.png|thumb|250px|The Rising Volt Tacklers reunited with Friede]]
In ''[[HZ115|Welcome to Blueberry Academy!]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived in Unova, as the older members dropped off the junior members at Blueberry Academy while they docked near a town for repairs and supplies.

In ''[[HZ119|Don't Give Up, Crocalor!]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers, along with Penny and Carmine, attended a meeting with Briar whom explained that Diana's theory about Pagogo possibly needing to resonate with eighteen Pokémon Types was only half correct. Briar clarified that Pagogo needed to resonate with eighteen different Tera Types from Pokémon at the level of the Six Heroes in order to completely purify Laquium. After leaving Blueberry Academy and [[HZ120|Dot with Penny obtained data on Laquium]], the Rising Volt Tacklers got a message from Friede that he was coming back. Friede then revealed to his teammates that he was returning from space. [[HZ121|When Friede ran into trouble returning to Earth]], the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived to his rescue and were able to get him back onto the Brave Olivine safely. [[HZ122|After exchanging information]], Friede and Roy had a battle, which the latter won. Later, Friede decided to go to the [[Hoenn]] region to give respect for the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] and go to the [[Devon Corporation]] to analyze the data on Laquium that he got from space. Friede decided to leave the Rising Volt Tacklers to Captain Pikachu and Roy, with the latter officially being recognized as the new leader.

In [[HZ124]], the younger members and Amethio staged a rescue mission for the reamning Six Heroes, as they were able to get into the Explorers HQ where they were being held in. However, the five end up walking into a trap set up by Spinel, as they face off a high ranking member of the Explorers and a Six Hero. [[HZ125|Through their efforts]], the five were able to save the remaining Six Heroes and let them roam the world so they would be safe from the Explorers. Although, the remaining heroes promise Zygarde to lend their strength at Laqua when the time comes. However, Spinel used the confrontation with the younger members to frame them again, making things worse for their reputation and forcing them to go into hiding from the public.
[[File:Roy and his friends.png|thumb|250px|left|The Rising Volt Tacklers setting off on the Brave Olivine once again]]
In [[HZ126]], the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived back to Paldea, but had to keep a low profile due to Spinel's lies. The younger members go back to Naranja Academy to stop them from selling Strong Spheres while the older members stay with the Brave Olivine in Levincia with Iono's help in keeping their airship hidden from the public. [[HZ127|During that time]], the younger members friends Ann, Nemona, and Penny decided to help the Rising Volt Tacklers stop the Explorers plans for good. In [[HZ128]], Liko, Roy and Ult decided to return to Johto to reunite with the Black Rayquaza while the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers stay at Paldea. In the [[HZ129|next episode]], after arriving at the [[Dragon's Den]] and helping the Black Rayquaza recover, Roy and Ult battled the Legendary Pokémon as they gave everything they got to prove themselves to it. Eventually, Roy came on top and caught the Black Rayquaza with its approval. Roy then let Rayquaza roam the world so it could gather the remaining Six Heroes while he, Ult, and Liko returned to their teammates at Paldea.

In [[HZ130]], Liko, Roy, and Ult saw that Strong Sphere has been released to the public during their return journey to Paldea, while Dot saw it through a battle at Levincia. The younger members discussed the eighteen Tera Types as they realized that they had seventeen, missing {{t|Poison}}. Upon getting a plate of [[mochi]]s from Maushold, the younger members decided that [[HZ123|Diana's]] {{p|Pecharunt}} would be perfect for the Poison Tera Type. Later, the Rising Volt Tacklers got a call from Friede, informing them that he was almost finished with his own investigation and would be joining back up with them soon, much to their excitement. In the [[HZ131|next episode]], the Rising Volt Tacklers were joined up by Wy-Yes, who was rejoining the team temporarily, and Perrin as they decided to join them in stopping the Explorers as they promised they would revel the truth to the public in order to clear their name. Meanwhile, after lending his Rotom Phone to [[Yanga]], Friede met [[Master Mayonnaise]], who decided to join the Rising Volt Tacklers in their quest as well. Once the Brave Olivine was finished with the upgrades as Friedie dubbed it as its Rising Again mode, the Rising Volt Tacklers and their allies set off for Galar to ask Diana for help. [[HZ132|Upon arriving]], the Rising Volt Tacklers asked Diana for her help, which she accepted, and found out that Pecharunt Tera Type is Poison through Pagogo, fulfilling the required Pokémon they need to erase Laquium. After spending some time training at Diana's place, the Rising Volt Tacklers and their allies bid farewell to Master Mayonnaise and the group head off for Laqua.

In [[HZ133]], the Rising Volt Tacklers and their allies have arrived at Laqua as the group spilt up in order to prevent them from battling the Explorers so they can preserve their required Pokémon. Roy, Ult, and Friede took to the sky while the girls, except Mollie, Orla, and Perrin, who stayed on the Brave Olivine with Ludlow, Murdock, and Wy-Yes, and Captain Pikachu were dropped off and traveled on foot. However, they were ambushed by the Explorers, although Roy, Ult, and Friede managed to led Coral and Sidian away from the girls. Dot, Nemona, and Penny stay behind to battle Indi and Rubina while Liko, Diana, Captain Pikachu, and Ann left. During the confrontation, Dot, Nemona, Penny, Roy, Ult, and Friede find out that the Explorers have figured out their plan in eliminating Laquium for good. Dot, Nemona, and Penny were able to defeat Indi and Rubina with [[Hamber]]'s help as the three of them left to meet back up with Liko's group while the latter stayed behind to battle a group of Explorers grunts. Meanwhile, Roy, Ult, and Friede do a Mega Evolution battle with Coral, Chalce, and Sidian, [[HZ134|where they emerged victorious]].
[[File:Laquium threat over.png|thumb|250px|The Rising Volt Tacklers and their allies see that the Laquium threat was over]]
Liko, Diana, Captain Pikachu, and Ann meet up with Amethio, Onia, and Zirc as they worked together to help the Laquium affected Pokémon when Spinel activated his upgraded Laquium-activating machines. After Captain Pikachu destroyed the machines and Pagogo purified the Laquium from the Pokémon with Zygarde, Onia, and Zirc taking them to safety, Liko, Ann, and Diana meet up with their friends. The Rising Volt Tacklers with their allies then encountered Spinel, Rubina, and Indi. Meanwhile, in Pericarp Town, Orla, Ludlow as Mighty G, Murdock, and Mollie helped the people and Pokémon there when Laquium came to their area while Wy-Yes and Perrin took photos of their heroics. Seeing their efforts, the townspeople, except [[Yuha]], a friend Liko, Roy, and Dot met the last time they were there, started to realize that the Rising Volt Tacklers aren't bad people. Simultaneously, the Black Rayquaza and the other Six Heroes arrived at Laqua as they, Liko, Roy, Dot, Ult, Friede and their allies got ready to get rid of Laquium for good.

[[HZ135|However]], the Rising Volt Tacklers and their allies Pokémon got attacked by the Explorers, as they end up losing Penny's {{p|Sylveon}}, who represented the {{t|Fairy}} Tera type. Fortunately, Coral turned against Spinel and had her {{p|Scream Tail}}, nicknamed Screamypuff, take Sylveon's place. Chalce and Sidian also turn against Spinel as they, with Coral, decided to team up with the Rising Volt Tacklers in order to stop him for good. During the process to remove Laquium, Spinel merged with its Core, casuing it to awaken. The Rising Volt Tacklers and their allies try to fight it, but it was too strong. However, they refused to give up and found out that the middle of the Laquium Core is the main target they need to hit. [[HZ136|Through Roy and Amethio's Mega Evolved Pokémon]] making an opening for them, Pagogo goes to erase the Laquium Core once and for all with the eighteen Tera Type Pokémon, separating Spinel from the Core in the process. After Liko battled Spinel and won, Pagogo successfully erased the Laquium Core for good and the Explorers, except Zirc and Onia, leave Laqua. Later, the Rising Volt Tacklers and their allies watch various Pokémon return to the paradise just as the rest of the groups on the Brave Olivine arrived. When Pagogo, the Six Heroes and Zygarde decided to stay at Laqua to rebuild it, the Rising Volt Tacklers and their allies respect their wishes and bid them farewell, but promised to come back one day, as they leave the paradise on the Brave Olivine.

Through Wy-Yes and Perrin's articles on the team's actions and the help from the [[Litten Smitten|other]] [[Stunner Fisk|allies]] they [[HZ093|met during their joruney]] [[HZ097|to reveal the truth to the world]], the Rising Volt Tacklers' name was cleared with the public and its members are declared heroes. Friede returned to work for Exceed and help in the Laquium research with Yanga. Most of the Rising Volt Tacklers decided to stay as a team, as they are now free to fly into the sky without worry.

[[File:Rising Volt Tacklers Pokémon.png|thumb|250px|A majority of the Rising Volt Tacklers Pokémon]]
Four of the older members of the Rising Volt Tacklers (except former member Wy-Yes), and Ult have at least two Pokémon partners while the rest of the younger members and Friede have three on their teams. Liko and Roy are the only members of the Rising Volt Tacklers who have  released a Pokémon on their teams. There are also thirteen individual wild Pokémon (of eleven species) who live on the Brave Olivine. Captain Pikachu and Friede's Charizard led both the Pokémon that belong to the rest of members on the team and the group who live on the Brave Olivine. Although, during Charizard's absences, Roy's Skeledirge stepped up in helping Captain Pikachu led both Pokémon groups and ends up permanently taking over after having a [[HZ122|battle]] with the Flame Pokémon.

So far, three of the Pokémon that originally lived on the Brave Olivine as [[wild]] Pokémon have since been caught by three members of the team, namely {{p|Fuecoco}}, {{p|Quaxly}}, and {{p|Maushold}}, which have been caught by [[HZ006|Roy]], [[HZ016|Dot]], and [[HZ094|Mollie]]. Also, the majority of the Rising Volt Tacklers have a [[Rotom Phone]], the only exceptions being Ludlow, Wy-Yes and Friede (the latter is temporarily lending his Rotom Phone to [[Yanga]]). In addition, Dot and Liko can use {{Tera}}stallization while Ult can use [[Mega Evolution]]. Friede and Roy are the only members of the Rising Volt Tacklers who can use both Terastallization and Mega Evolution.

This listing is of the Rising Volt Tacklers's known {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in {{aniseries|HZ}}:

[[File:HZ132 poster JP.jpg|200px|thumb|Poster for the episode]]
* [[Mega Nidothing's Mega Mega! Mega Evolution]]: {{p|Lucario}} (Mega Lucario Z)
* For the initial airing of this episode, the Mega Nidothing's Mega Mega! Mega Evolution segment was replaced by a special trailer for the upcoming episodes, which was later [https://youtu.be/pNR0Y0zPhpQ uploaded] to the Japanese Pokémon [[YouTube]] channel.
** Due to [[Roy's Lucario]] being shiny, this is the first [[Mega Nidothing's Mega Mega! Mega Evolution]] segment to feature both variations of the pokemon.
* The first [[List of Pokémon Horizons: The Series eyecatches|eyecatch]] features [[Master Mayonnaise]] and his {{p|Hawlucha}}, and the second features [[Roy]] with his {{TP|Roy|Skeledirge}}, {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}}, Mega {{TP|Roy|Lucario}}, and [[Captain Pikachu]].
* This is the first episode to feature Z [[Mega Evolution]].
* As of this episode, all nineteen {{Tera|Tera Types}} have appeared in the animated series.
* Roy, [[Pagogo]], [[Liko]], [[Dot]], [[Ult]], and Captain Pikachu narrate the preview for the [[HZ133|next episode]].

The '''Rising Volt Tacklers''' (Japanese: '''ライジングボルテッカーズ''' ''Rising Volteccers'') is a team of adventurers led by [[Friede]] in {{aniseries|HZ}}. Initially, it was founded by Friede, [[Captain Pikachu]], [[Orla]], and [[Ludlow]] in [[Hoenn]]. The Rising Volt Tacklers travel around the {{pkmn|world}} aboard their airship and base of operations, the [[Brave Olivine]]. After [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] joined them at the beginning of the series, their main mission became to find and gather the [[Six Heroes]], which led them to become the archenemies of the [[Explorers]].

After Friede's disappearance in ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', the Explorers framed the team as villains, which forced them to disband and its members to go their separate ways. In ''[[HZ100|We Are the Rising Volt Tacklers!]]'', the team was re-formed with most of the original members rejoining at the Brave Olivine in [[Galar]], now with the goal to stop the Explorers' plans and reveal the truth about the Rising Volt Tacklers to the world. In [[HZ122]], Roy is acknowledged by Friede as the founder of the new Rising Volt Tacklers and officially becomes the leader.

==History==
{{spoilers}}
===Pre-series===
[[File:Rising Volt Tacklers formed.png|thumb|250px|The formation of the Rising Volt Tacklers]]
Sometime prior to the events of the series, the [[Pokémon Professor]] [[Friede]] was [[fishing]] in the [[Paldea]] [[region]] with his {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} and his former mentor [[Ludlow]]. Friede met up with a teacher of his, [[Lucca]], who wanted him to meet someone. Upon meeting a {{pkmn2|wild}} [[Captain Pikachu|Pikachu]] trying to fly, Friede decided to do research on him and tried to befriend the {{pkmn|category|Mouse Pokémon}}. Although he failed to befriend {{P|Pikachu}}, Friede didn't give up as he offered the Mouse Pokémon some food. Eventually, Friede decided to fly up to sky to see why Pikachu wanted to fly, realizing that he wanted to see the horizons. Seeing Pikachu falling, Friede and Charizard saved him, winning his friendship. Friede asked Pikachu to be his partner, which he accepted. Later, Friede asked Ludlow if he can have his boat and was okay with it. The two arrived in [[Slateport City]] in [[Hoenn]] where Friede met up with his childhood friend [[Orla]] and asked her to turn Ludlow's boat into an airship. Through her help, the boat turned into the [[Brave Olivine]] and the four of them formed the Rising Volt Tacklers. Also, Friede decided to [[nickname]] his partner Captain Pikachu.

Later, the four of them met [[Murdock]], [[Wy-Yes]], and [[Mollie]] as they joined the Rising Volt Tacklers, but Wy-Yes eventually decided to leave the team in order to become a journalist for [[Occulture]]. Sometime after Wy-Yes left, Murdock's niece [[Dot]] (who is a well-known streamer known as Nidothing) joined the Rising Volt Tacklers. During their adventures, the Rising Volt Tacklers had various Pokémon from all the different regions settle in with them when they decided to make the Brave Olivine their home. One day, Friede was contacted by Lucca, who was reached out by her mother, [[Diana]], as she asked him to bring her daughter [[Liko]], who was attending [[Indigo Academy]] in the [[Kanto]] region, to Paldea and protect her during the journey there.

==={{aniseries|HZ}}===
[[File:Rising Volt Tacklers vs Explorers.png|thumb|250px|left|[[Friede]] facing the [[Explorers]] for the first time]]
The Rising Volt Tacklers debuted in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]''. They first appeared looking for Liko at Indigo Academy, but they failed to find her because all the students were wearing the same uniforms. Despite this, they decided to try again in finding Liko during the school break with Friede going back to Indigo Academy by himself in order to find her. When Liko clashed with the members of the [[Explorers]], Friede appeared to help her. After nearly getting hit by {{TP|Amethio|Ceruledge}}'s {{m|Psycho Cut}}, Liko and her {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} were protected by the power of her mysterious pendant.

In the [[HZ002|following episode]], Friede took Liko to the Rising Volt Tacklers' airship, where she had her first interaction with the rest of the group. Before Liko could ask more about them, the ship was intercepted by members of the Explorers and another battle between Friede and [[Amethio]] ensued. After Liko almost gave herself to the Explorers, her Sprigatito unleashed a {{m|Leafage}} strong enough to break the force field around the Wing Deck, but got blown overboard in the process, allowing Amethio to capture her before fleeing with his group.

In ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'', Friede revealed that Liko's mother hired the Rising Volt Tacklers to protect her. The group went to the city where the Explorers were last seen, and [[Murdock's Rockruff]] managed to smell Sprigatito's scent in [[Onia]]. Friede, Liko, and Rockruff chased her back to their temporary base, where Friede engaged Amethio again in a battle to allow for Liko and Rockruff to find where Sprigatito was held captive. After being reunited with her Pokémon, Liko decided to trust in the Rising Volt Tacklers and became part of the group, whose next destination was Paldea.
[[File:Rising Volt Tacklers meet Black Rayquaza.png|thumb|250px|The Rising Volt Tacklers meet the [[Black Rayquaza]] for the first time]]
[[HZ004|Throughout]] their [[HZ005|journey]] to get Liko to Paldea, the Rising Volt Tacklers met a boy named [[Roy]] on an [[Roy's hometown|island]] in Kanto as he helped them repair their ship. Roy [[HZ006|eventually]] decided to join the Rising Volt Tacklers on their adventures, after forming a bond with a {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} that lived with them as he became his first Pokémon and an encounter with a [[Black Rayquaza]] that came out of his [[Ancient Poké Ball]]. The Rising Volt Tacklers helped Liko and Roy become [[HZ007|better at Pokémon battles]]. In addition, Liko and Roy learned of the existence of Dot (who was hiding in her room from the rest of the crew and Liko and Roy up until that point) as they [[HZ008|attempted]] to make friends with her.

In ''[[HZ009|Welcome to Paldea!]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived in Paldea. After Friede failed to reach Liko's mother, they decided to head over to her house as [[Alex]], her father, was home. However, Liko overheard Alex talking to Friede, as he expressed how worried he was about her being on her own and expressed a desire for her to attend school in Paldea. Liko decided to head back to the ship for the night, but was not able to fall sleep. Through Orla and Mollie's advice and a drawing Dot made for her, Liko made up her mind as she left the ship to go back home to tell Alex her decision. Upon arriving home, Liko told her father that she wanted to continue traveling with the Rising Volt Tacklers and attend online classes at the Indigo Academy, which he understood and accepted her decision.
[[File:Liko and Roy with Arboliva.png|thumb|250px|left|[[Liko]] and [[Roy]] with [[Lucius's Arboliva]]]]
Following a lead from Alex and [[Brassius]] [[HZ010|about]] the Black Rayquaza, the Rising Volt Tacklers [[HZ011|investigated]] [[Arboliva's Forest]] where they met a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{TP|Lucius|Arboliva}} that had another Ancient Poké Ball and saw the damage that a forest fire caused to it. The Rising Volt Tacklers worked together to restore the forest and eventually witnessed Liko's pendant reveal an [[Pagogo|unknown Pokémon]], which showed her and Roy a vision. After Arboliva decided to join them, Liko and Roy discovered that it and the Black Rayquaza belonged to [[Lucius]], the Ancient Adventurer. Friede also found out about this through Lucca as she told him that she knew the legend thanks to her mother. Liko [[HZ012|decided]] to meet with her grandmother in [[Galar]] to learn more about her pendant.

However, [[HZ013|before]] they could set off for Galar, they were ambushed by [[Spinel]] of the Explorers who was able to steal [[HZ014|Liko's pendant]] by using his {{p|Beheeyem}} to put her in a trance, which led her to lose part of her [[HZ015|memory]]. While most of the crew was searching for Liko, Dot had some help in streamer and [[Levincia]] [[Gym Leader]] {{an|Iono}} in finding her. Dot decided to leave the airship in order to find Liko, causing Roy to finally meet her in person. Meanwhile, Liko was able to recover the memories she lost while under Beheeyem's trance and met up with Roy and Dot, meeting the latter for the first time. After reuniting with Friede, Liko realized that her pendant was stolen, so the Rising Volt Tacklers made a plan to get it back from Spinel. Dot officially became a [[HZ016|Pokémon Trainer]] with the {{TP|Dot|Quaxly}} that have been living with the Rising Volt Tacklers as her first Pokémon. After they managed to get Liko's pendant back from Spinel, the Rising Volt Tacklers set off for the Galar region.
[[File:Rising Volt Tacklers vs Moltres.png|thumb|250px|The Rising Volt Tacklers battling [[Lucius's Moltres]]]]
During [[HZ017|their]] [[HZ018|journey]] to Galar, the younger members became curious as to how Captain Pikachu was able to fly during a battle against Roy's Fuecoco and {{TP|Roy|Wattrel}}. After failing to get an answer from Friede, Liko, Roy, and Dot asked the rest of the members, but no luck. However, their question did get the rest of the members curious as well, turning to Friede for answers. Although he was reluctant to answer their question, Friede decided to tell them as to how he met Captain Pikachu and the formation of the Rising Volt Tacklers. In ''[[HZ019|The Bittersweet Truth]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived in Galar. They decided that their first stop was at [[Motostoke]] before heading to [[Hammerlocke]] by train.

However, [[HZ020|after hearing from]] [[Kabu]] that he saw the Black Rayquaza flying to the west of Motostoke, they [[HZ021|decided]] to take a detour to the [[Galar Mine]]. Here, Liko, Roy, and Friede [[HZ022|encountered]] the Explorers again and they battle them. However, a {{rf|Galarian}} {{TP|Lucius|Moltres}} that had an Ancient Poké Ball arrived and attacked them, which led to Captain Pikachu getting injured. Fortunately, Liko and Roy managed to bring Captain Pikachu out of the mine while Friede continued his battle against Amethio. [[HZ023|After recovering]] at the Motostoke's [[Pokémon Center]], Liko and Roy reunited with Friede and the three of them decided to confront Moltres again in order to calm it down. Through their teamwork, they were able to do it. After Terapagos reappeared, they saw a vision and Moltres decided to join them, returning to its Ancient Poké Ball. However, Terapagos didn't return to its pendant form, as {{TP|Liko|Hatenna}} sensed its presence and revealed it to her Trainer. Friede hid Terapagos while he, Liko, and Roy decided to take it to the Brave Olivine.
[[File:Rising Volt Tacklers meet Terapagos.png|thumb|250px|left|The Rising Volt Tacklers properly meeting [[Pagogo|Terapagos]]]]
[[HZ024|After showing the rest of their teammates Terapagos]], Liko, Roy, and Friede headed for Hammerlocke to find the [[ancient castle]] that Diana was at. Through her {{p|Squawkabilly}}, they were able to meet with Diana, who explained her past and the history of Terapagos. However, they were ambushed by the Explorers, who followed them to their location in order to take Terapagos. [[HZ025|Fortunately]], they were able to escape with Diana joining them as she showed Liko information about Lucius and his remaining Pokémon. [[HZ026|After Terapagos did some exploring of its surroundings]], Diana gave Liko a belt that was owned by Lucius to hold the Ancient Poké Balls. Liko then told her friends that she wanted to find Lucius's remaining Pokémon and look for [[Laqua]], which they agreed. However, due to not having a lot of information of the three remaining Pokémon, they decided to continue pursuing Black Rayquaza. [[HZ027|After Dot got misled in finding information about the Black Rayquaza's whereabouts]], Roy decided to ask someone if they knew anything about the Ancient Poké Balls, which Diana tells him that she knows someone who could help. [[HZ028|However]], Diana's friend [[Tepen]] turned out to have turned into stealing. Fortunately, Liko, Diana, and their friends helped Tepen realize the error of his ways. Although Tepen wasn't able to help them get information about the Ancient Poké Balls, Liko and her friends were able to get intel on a contact of his. [[HZ029|Through Tepen's information]], Liko and her friends met [[Karna]] as she designs Poké Balls, but couldn't help them with information about the Ancient Poké Balls either.
[[File:Rising Volt Tacklers meet with Lapras.png|thumb|250px|The Rising Volt Tacklers meeting with [[Lucius's Lapras]] and its "pirate crew"]]
Due to not getting the information they needed about the Ancient Poké Balls, the Rising Volt Tacklers decided to continue their search for the remaining [[Six Heroes]]. [[HZ030|Also]], the Rising Volt Tacklers took in a wild {{p|Polteageist}} and {{p|Sinistea}} that decided to live on the Brave Olivine. [[HZ031|Eventually]], the Rising Volt Tacklers got information about a {{TP|Lucius|Lapras}} and they realized that it had to be one of Lucius's Pokémon, so they decided to investigate. After finding it, they failed to see it because of the {{m|Mist}} covering it and the younger members witnessed two Pokémon appearing on the ship. However, through Friede's plan, the Rising Volt Tacklers were able to see Lapras with scars and they found out that it used the mist to cover any ship that went nearby to give to its fellow Pokémon the chance to steal the food cargo on them. After preventing the group from stealing anything, the Rising Volt Tacklers followed Lapras and its group. [[HZ032|However]], they were stopped when Lapras used {{m|Ice Beam}} on the ship. Liko, Roy, and Friede decided to confront Lapras on their own. Terapagos attempted to reason with Lapras, even bringing out Arboliva and Moltres for help. Liko, Roy, and Friede were then shown another vision of Lucius. After spending time with Lapras and its friends, the Rising Volt Tacklers got ready to leave. However, Lapras decided to join them as its friends encouraged to go with them and it returned into its Ancient Poké Ball.
[[File:Terapagos and Rayquaza.png|thumb|250px|left|Terapagos facing the Black Rayquaza]]
[[HZ033|Before setting off]], the Rising Volt Tacklers witnessed the Black Rayquaza arriving to their location. However, after Amethio battled and got defeated by the Black Rayquaza, the Rising Volt Tacklers witnessed Terapagos transforming and battling the [[Legendary Pokémon]]. Unfortunately, Terapagos collapsed and the Black Rayquaza left. Later, Diana told Friede that she was planning to travel alone again, which he understood and accepted her decision. The next day, Liko and Roy did a training battle with Diana, which led them to victory when Sprigatito landed a hit on Diana's {{p|Arcanine}}. After the battle, Liko and Roy thanked Diana for the experience, as it will help them be better Trainers. [[HZ034|Upon hearing of Diana's departure]], Liko and Roy decided to do a surprise farewell party. Through the rest of the members help, Liko and Roy were able to surprise Diana, which she appreciated. Before leaving, Diana gave Liko her adventure log. After dropping Diana off, the Rising Volt Tacklers agree to continue their search for the remaining Six Heroes. However, before doing so, the Rising Volt Tacklers decided to return to Paldea for information on Terapagos.

[[HZ035|During their return journey to Paldea]], the Rising Volt Tacklers began to run out of funds needed to pay for supplies, so the adults decided to take some jobs in order to raise money. After Friede got a job request from a [[Shine|friend]] of his, he took the assignment with Liko and Roy accompanying him. They were able to fulfill the job and stop a group of {{OBP|Pokémon hunters|HZ035}}. [[HZ037|Also]], Friede got another job assignment from another friend of his who is the leader of a group of {{OBP|archeologists|HZ037}}, as they were having trouble with a group of {{p|Sandile}} and its {{p|Krokorok|evolved}} {{p|Krookodile|forms}}. Fortunately, Roy found out the problem but, to their disappointment, for this reason the Rising Volt Tacklers were no longer needed to do the job. [[HZ038|Also]], the Rising Volt Tacklers took in a wild {{p|Maushold}} when it decided to come live on the Brave Olivine until [[HZ094|it eventually]] [[HZ121|decided to go with]] Mollie. [[HZ041|In addition]], Dot was reunited with her mother, as she came to bring her home because her time with the team was a trial period, but let her stay as a permanent member of the team, after seeing her friendship with her Pokémon partners, Quaxly and {{TP|Dot|Tinkatink}}, Liko, and Roy, and having a battle against each other.
[[File:HZ045.png|thumb|250px|The Rising Volt Tacklers battling the Black Rayquaza for the first time]]
In ''[[HZ042|Transform! Hero of the Seas, Palafin]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived back in Paldea. [[HZ042|Sometime after returning to Paldea]], the [[HZ043|team]] [[HZ044|learned]] of the Explorers' plan to capture the Black Rayquaza and decided to investigate a mysterious tower they had built near Levincia. However, when Friede entered the tower, it turned out to actually be a trap set up by Spinel, locking Friede up inside while the rest of the Explorers admins started the capture operation at a lighthouse outside of Levincia. Liko, Roy, and Ludlow hurried to the site to stop them, with the rest of the team moving the Brave Olivine to the site as well to allow Dot to jump down to the lighthouse and use a shutdown program on the device the Explorers had used to summon Rayquaza. While Friede successfully escaped from Spinel's trap and Roy managed to stop [[Chalce]] from catching Rayquaza, things quickly took a turn for the worse when Rayquaza's {{m|Draco Meteor}} shower started devastating the scenery and [[Coral]] made a reckless attack on Rayquaza in a rage by having her {{p|Glalie}} use {{m|Self-Destruct}}, sending Rayquaza crashing straight into the Brave Olivine and severely damaging it. Fortunately, Murdock was able to safely land the Brave Olivine. [[HZ045|After the Explorers retreated]], Liko, Roy, Dot and Friede battled Rayquaza. Despite having help from Amethio, the four of them couldn't defeat Rayquaza, and the Legendary Pokémon left once again. In the aftermath of the battle, Liko, Roy, and Dot decided to learn more about the Terastal phenomenon and be able to use it in battle. As such, they went to study at [[Naranja Academy]], while the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers focused on repairing the Brave Olivine.
[[File:OPJ32 Rotom Photo HZ074.png|thumb|250px|left|Liko, Roy, and [[Dot]] battling [[Lucius's Kleavor]]]]
[[HZ046|During]] [[HZ049|their]] [[HZ050|time]] [[HZ054|doing]] [[HZ057|repairs]] to the airship, the Rising Volt Tacklers took a group of wild {{p|Tatsugiri}} as new traveling companions. After the repairs on the Brave Olivine were finished and the younger members were done with their studies at Naranja Academy, the Rising Volt Tacklers set off to search for the Six Heroes once more in ''[[HZ068|Into a New Sky! The Brave Olivine!]]''. Their first destination was the land of [[Kitakami]], planning to meet up with the Terapagos researcher [[Briar]]. After arriving in Kitakami and [[HZ069|spending an evening]] at the local [[Countryside Harvest Festival]], the team learned from [[Carmine]] that Briar was currently at the [[Crystal Pool]] on [[Oni Mountain]]. Friede and the junior members of the team [[HZ070|subsequently]] [[HZ071|traveled]] there, meeting Briar and exchanging information about Terapagos with her. While both sides learned a lot, the Rising Volt Tacklers didn't gain any new leads, so they decided to focus on finding the remaining three members of the Six Heroes for now.

Through an unexpected stroke of luck, Dot discovered that a photographer named [[Perrin]] had seen {{TP|Lucius|Kleavor}} in Kitakami. [[HZ072|Through]] [[HZ073|Perrin's help]], Liko, Roy, Dot, and Friede found Kleavor. After some convincing from Lapras, having a battle with the younger members of the Rising Volt Tacklers and seeing Liko's selfness for Pokémon, Kleavor showed her, Roy, Dot, and Friede a vision of Lucius of the day they meet. Kleavor then decided to join the group and it returned to its Ancient Poké Ball.
[[File:OPJ32 Rotom Photo HZ076.png|thumb|250px|right|The Rising Volt Tacklers and [[Diana]] summoning [[Rystal]] at the [[Crystal Pool]]]]
[[HZ074|The next day]], Liko and her friends reunite with Diana, as they exchanged information about the Explorers. After returning to the Crystal Pool and were able to summon [[Rystal]], a member of the original Explorers, Liko and the group found out that she and Lucius were her great-great grandparents. Liko and the group then [[HZ075|listened]] to Rystal telling everyone how she formed the Explorers with Lucius and [[Gibeon]] and they were able to reach Laqua. However, Liko and the group had to bid farewell to Rystal when she had to return to her proper time. Liko and the group then bid farewell to Diana, as she intended to continue traveling her own way. [[HZ076|Through Wy-Yes's help]], the Rising Volt Tacklers decided to head to [[Olivine City]] in the [[Johto]] region in order to search for {{p|Entei}}. In ''[[HZ077|Ludlow's Homecoming!]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived in Johto. [[HZ078|After falling to find Entei in Johto]], the Rising Volt Tacklers head back to Paldea when Briar revealed that a Pokémon similar to Entei had been spotted in [[Area Zero]].
[[File:OPJ32 Rotom Photo HZ083.png|thumb|170px|left|The Rising Volt Tacklers battling the Black Rayquaza for the second time]]
In ''[[HZ079|Over the Top!]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived back to Paldea. After Liko, Roy, and Dot defeated [[Geeta]], together with Friede, [[HZ080|they entered Area Zero]] and met up with Briar. [[HZ081|Upon finding the Pokémon similar to Entei]], they realized that it was a [[Paradox Pokémon]] named {{TP|Lucius|Gouging Fire}}. The four Rising Volt Tacklers battled Gouging Fire when it wanted to test their strength. Through their teamwork, they defeated Gouging Fire, who showed them a vision of when it first met Lucius. Gouging Fire then decided to join the group and returned to its Ancient Poké Ball. However, it and the rest of the Six Heroes come out to summon the Black Rayquaza, who arrived at the group's location. Liko, Roy, Dot, and Friede [[HZ082|battled]] the Black Rayquaza once again and, after a tough battle, they were able to return Rayquaza to its Ancient Poké Ball. Rayquaza then showed them a vision of the original Explorers reaching Laqua. The group then bid farewell to Briar and, following Rayquaza, [[HZ083|made their way to the paradise]].
[[File:OPJ32 Rotom Photo HZ088.png|170px|thumb|right|The Rising Volt Tacklers and [[Amethio]] battling [[Gibeon]] and his [[White Zygarde]]]]
In ''[[HZ084|Where the Land Meets the Sky]]'', after stopping at [[Pericarp Town]] near Laqua, Friede and the younger members journeyed to the paradise, with the Six Heroes helping along the way. [[HZ085|Upon entering Laqua]], Friede and the younger members explored until they came across the barrier, which Pagogo removed. [[HZ086|However]], Friede and the younger members were then confronted by the Explorers. [[HZ087|Although they were able to defeat the Explorers admins]], Friede and the younger members were too late to prevent Gibeon from reaching the [[Laquium]]. Fortunately, Gibeon's [[White Zygarde|Zygarde]] was only trying to free Lucius from the Laquium. Friede and the younger members met Lucius, as he explained to them that he was able to see the outside world through Zygarde. Due to Friede's partners going berserk from the Laquium and knocking each other out, the younger members with Amethio battled Gibeon. [[HZ088|However]], Zygarde forfeited the battle because it was testing their strength and resolve, as it bid its Trainer farewell and disassembled itself.

In ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', Spinel released his own supply of Laquium that he had gathered after Pagogo and the Six Heroes purified the land. This act caused the Six Heroes, barring Rayquaza, to go berserk and indiscriminately attack anything in their sight. Rayquaza shielded the Rising Volt Tacklers from its comrades' attacks and ordered them to escape, but as the Brave Olivine attempted to leave, a strong gust of wind caught Friede and his Pokémon off-guard. Friede managed to get Captain Pikachu to safety before he and Charizard were blown off the ship. Afterwards, the group started flying around the area looking for Friede, but couldn't find him. Meanwhile, Spinel had the entire area around Laqua closed off, and later publicly framed the Rising Volt Tacklers for the destruction at Laqua, casting them as a dangerous group to the public eye. With their original task completed and being unable to function without Friede, the group made the decision to disband; Liko returned to [[Indigo Academy]], Roy going on a [[HZ112|training]] [[HZ113|journey]] [[HZ114|in the]] [[Kalos]] region, and Dot returning to her home.
[[File:Re-formed Rising Volt Tacklers MV.png|250px|thumb|left|The Rising Volt Tacklers re-formed by Roy, Dot, and Liko]]
A year after the events at Laqua, in ''[[HZ090|Eyes to the Skies Once Again, Part 1]]'', Dot and Roy discovered a case of Laquium affecting a wild {{p|Slaking}}, and after the boy and [[Ult]] defeated it, Roy decided to visit the Indigo Academy to ask for Liko's help in finding more signs of Laquium. [[HZ091|After reuniting with her]], Roy explained the situation. At first, Liko refused to help him and Dot, as she was accustomed to being at Indigo Academy and didn't want everyone there to know she was a Rising Volt Tackler out of fear of bearing the group's tarnished reputation. However, after seeing Roy battling [[Ann]] and having a battle against him herself, Liko ultimately decided to join and assist in clearing the group's name while revealing the truth to the public.

In ''[[HZ092|Following Traces of Laquium]]'', Liko and Roy tracked down a Laquium sign that Dot found, and ended up battling a pair of Laquium affected {{p|Steelix}}, alongside Ult, who had been following Roy. In the process, Roy and Ult showcased [[Mega Evolution]], with Liko learning about it for the first time.

In ''[[HZ094|The Pokémon Center Lady]]'', Liko and Roy reunited with Mollie, who had returned to the family Pokémon Center at [[Mochew City]]. Mollie disapproved of their decision to restart the team, but after working together to calm a Laquium-afflicted {{p|Vileplume}} down, ultimately respected their decision. The two offered her a spot back in the team, but she declined for the time being, as she knew that she needed to be at the Pokémon Center. Before they parted ways, she promised to them that she would return when the team was fully reunited.
[[File:Ult joins Rising Volt Tacklers.png|250px|thumb|[[Ult]] joining the Rising Volt Tacklers]]
In ''[[HZ095|The Strong Sphere]]'', after Ult saw the effects of the [[Strong Sphere]] on Pokémon, he saved Liko and Roy after their Pokémon were defeated in a [[Double Battle]] by Coral and Sidian. He proceeded to join the two on their journey. In ''[[HZ096|Crash! Team Dragon Rampage!]]'', after Liko and Roy reunited with the Black Rayquaza, which was under the protection of [[Team Dragon Rampage]], Dot called and informed the two that Murdock had returned to [[Cortondo]] to work with [[Katy]]. In ''[[HZ098|Reunion in Cortondo]]'', the three and Ult met with Murdock at Cortondo. Like Mollie, Murdock disapproved of their decision to restart the team, despite Liko's insistence that they knew what they were getting into. Katy suggested a Pokémon battle to alleviate Murdock's concerns, and in the official rematch, Liko defeated Katy. Impressed by her growth, Murdock ultimately respected their decision and informed them that the Brave Olivine had been dismantled, with its parts being stored in Galar. With this knowledge in hand, the group decided to look for Orla and left Cortondo. Murdock confessed to Katy that he wanted to travel with them despite the fact that he suggested that they disband after the events in Laqua, fearing that he would hold them back. Katy told Murdock that the others had already done so despite their circumstances, causing him to realize the meaning of her words.

In ''[[HZ099|Orla, Grounded]]'', Liko, Roy, Dot, and Ult went to Galar to look for Orla, and it was revealed that Orla had lied about the ship's condition. Rather than dismantling it, she had kept it hidden in a forest, maintaining it from time to time, and the wild Pokémon (apart from Maushold) remained onboard. [[HZ100|After Liko, Roy, Dot, and Ult defeated two members of the Explorers]], [[Indi]] and [[Rubina]], Orla decided to join them in officially re-forming the Rising Volt Tacklers, as the five worked together to clean and rebuild the Brave Olivine. Ludlow, Murdock, and Mollie returned to the team, with Ult deciding to become an official member of the group. Dot then discovered a message had been sent to their app a month prior. After decrypting it and showing it to everyone else, they found out that it was from Friede, who was revealed to be alive and well but in hiding from the Explorers.
[[File:Young Rising Volt Tacklers.png|thumb|250px|left|Dot, Liko, Roy, and Ult deciding to train at [[Blueberry Academy]] in [[Unova]]]]
In ''[[HZ101|Terastallization vs. Mega Evolution!]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived back to Paldea through Dot's suggestion in going to Naranja Academy because everyone there knows the Explorers true nature. Although Dot is able to give Geeta and Clavell the information she had on Laquium and while they understand the situation, they aren't able to help them further without more evidence, but they recommended asking [[Jacq]] for help in their research, which he accepted. Dot also gets a map of Paldea from Penny that shows Laquium Signs around the region. [[HZ102|After returning to the Brave Olivine]], the younger members decided to check out a Laquium Sign near their location. During their investigation, Dot reminds everyone that they need funds to travel around if they want to spread the truth about Laquium, as Roy remembers that most of their funds came from Friede and Captain Pikachu doing various jobs. Later, after Liko, her Pokémon and a {{TP|Liko|Charcadet}}, who decided to become one of her partners, stopped the Laquium Sign, Dot gets a video message from Iono asking for a handshake event as their next collaboration, which she reluctantly agrees to hold it as a [[HZ103|means to earn some money]]. Also, a wild {{TP|Dot|Gimmighoul}} stowed away on the Brave Olivine until Dot decided to [[HZ105|add it to her team]].

[[HZ106|After]] [[HZ107|Roy and Ult infiltrated an Explorers base]], Diana [[HZ108|comes]] for a visit to give the Rising Volt Tacklers information on how to eliminate Laquium once and for all. Also, Diana tells the Rising Volt Tacklers that Spinel has the remaining Six Heroes held captive with Ult backing up her claim, as he saw Lapras and Kleavor trapped in boxes when he was in the Explorers base. Wanting to save the remaining Six Heroes from the Explorers, the Rising Volt Tacklers agreed to find which Exceed building they are being held in, as they realized that Spinel moved them in order to prevent them from finding them. Liko suggests they ask [[Cervantis]], the former Exceed director and Amethio's father, which they agreed. [[HZ109|However]], Liko, Roy, and Ult walked into a trap the Explorers set up for them by faking an email sent by Cervantis. Liko, Roy, and Ult [[HZ110|were forced to battle]] five of the Six Heroes when they used a new improved Strong Sphere called Super Strong Sphere on them to turn them against them. Despite their efforts and help from Amethio, Liko, Roy, and Ult's Pokémon are knocked out by five of the Six Heroes with Coral and Sidian's help. However, the effects of the Super Strong Sphere on five of the Six Heroes wears off and the Explorers left with them. Despite the loss, Liko, Roy, Ult, and Dot [[HZ112|decided]] to do battle training at [[Blueberry Academy]] in the [[Unova]] region after getting a call from Briar. Also, Liko revealed to Roy and Dot that their friend Ann is at Blueberry Academy as an exchange student.
[[File:Rising Volt Tacklers reunited.png|thumb|250px|The Rising Volt Tacklers reunited with Friede]]
In [[HZ115]], the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived in Unova, as the older members dropped off the junior members at Blueberry Academy while they docked near a town for repairs and supplies.

In [[HZ119]], the Rising Volt Tacklers, along with Penny and Carmine, attended a meeting with Briar whom explained that Diana's theory about Pagogo possibly needing to resonate with eighteen Pokémon Types was only half correct. Briar clarified that Pagogo needed to resonate with eighteen different Tera Types from Pokémon at the level of the Six Heroes in order to completely purify Laquium. After leaving Blueberry Academy and [[HZ120|Dot with Penny obtained data on Laquium]], the Rising Volt Tacklers got a message from Friede that he was coming back. Friede then revealed to his teammates that he was returning from space. [[HZ121|When Friede ran into trouble returning to Earth]], the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived to his rescue and were able to get him back onto the Brave Olivine safely. [[HZ122|After exchanging information]], Friede and Roy had a battle, which the latter won. Later, Friede decided to go to the [[Hoenn]] region to give respect for the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] and go to the [[Devon Corporation]] to analyze the data on Laquium that he got from space. Friede decided to leave the Rising Volt Tacklers to Captain Pikachu and Roy, with the latter officially being recognised as the new leader.

In [[HZ124]], the younger members and Amethio staged a rescue mission for the reamning Six Heroes, as they were able to get into the Explorers HQ where they were being held in. However, the five end up walking into a trap set up by Spinel, as they face off a high ranking member of the Explorers and a Six Hero. [[HZ125|Through their efforts]], the five were able to save the remaining Six Heroes and let them the roam the world so they would be safe from the Explorers. Although, the remaining heroes promise Zygarde to lend their strength at Laqua when the time comes. However, Spinel used the confrontation with the younger members to trick the general public into thinking they were criminals, making things worse for their reputation.

In [[HZ126]], the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived back to Paldea, but had to keep a low profile due to Spinel's lies. The younger members go back to Naranja Academy to stop them from selling Strong Spheres while the older members stay with the Brave Olivine in Levincia with Iono's help in keeping their airship hidden from the public.

==Team roster==
===Active members===
This list is of the team members who are part of the team. Although they disbanded for a year after [[Friede]]'s disappearance, [[Liko]], [[Roy]], [[Dot]], and [[Captain Pikachu]] have re-formed the Rising Volt Tacklers themselves in order to stop the influence of [[Laquium]] on Pokémon and clear the group's name in the public eye. Most of the adults returned in ''[[HZ100|We Are the Rising Volt Tacklers!]]'' after being inspired by the younger members' determination while Friede returned in [[HZ121]] but left temporarily in the [[HZ122|next episode]].

During the [[HZ087|climax]] of the battle in Laqua, Liko and the others discovered that Lucius was still alive, and that he was actually Liko's great-great-grandfather. He joined the Rising Volt Tacklers in the final battle against [[Gibeon]] and the other [[Explorers]] before fading away with Gibeon due to the Laquium's destruction. He is indirectly responsible for the Rising Volt Tacklers' formation and adventures.

==Technology==
===Apps===
*Members of the Rising Volt Tacklers have an app installed on their [[Rotom Phone]] as proof of membership. It is a messaging app developed by [[Dot]] that allows members to contact each other when needed. The app's servers were taken down after the Rising Volt Tacklers's disbanding following the events of ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'' but were later restored by Dot in ''[[HZ100|We Are the Rising Volt Tacklers!]]'' after the group reformed.

==Pokémon==
[[File:Rising Volt Tacklers Pokémon.png|thumb|250px|A majority of the Rising Volt Tacklers Pokémon]]
Four of the older members of the Rising Volt Tacklers, except former member Wy-Yes, and Ult have at least two Pokémon partners while Friede, Dot, and Roy have three on their teams. Liko is the only member of the Rising Volt Tacklers who has four Pokémon partners on her team. They are also thirteen different species of Pokémon who live on the Brave Olivine. Captain Pikachu and Friede's Charizard led both the Pokémon that belong to the rest of members on the team and the group who live on the Brave Olivine. Although, during Charizard's absences, Roy's Skeledirge stepped up in helping Captain Pikachu led both Pokémon groups.

So far, three of the Pokémon, {{p|Fuecoco}}, {{p|Quaxly}}, and {{p|Maushold}}, that originally lived on the Brave Olivine as [[wild]] Pokémon have since been caught by three members of the team, Roy, Dot, and Mollie. Also, each member of the Rising Volt Tacklers has a [[Rotom Phone]]. In addition, Dot and Liko can use {{Tera}}stallization while Ult can use [[Mega Evolution]]. Friede and Roy are the only members of the Rising Volt Tacklers who can use both Terastallization and Mega Evolution.

==Trivia==
* [[Mega Nidothing's Mega Mega! Mega Evolution]]: {{p|Garchomp}}
* For the initial airing of this episode, the Mega Nidothing's Mega Mega! Mega Evolution segment was replaced by a special trailer for the upcoming episodes of the ''Rising Again'' arc. This trailer was later [https://youtu.be/d5_FWsZ8kQM uploaded] to the official Japanese [[YouTube]] channel.
* This episode does not contain any [[eyecatch]]es, instead having the [[series]] logo on the screen before and after the commercial break.
* [[Ult]], [[Dot]], [[Liko]], and [[Roy]] narrate the preview for the [[HZ126|next episode]].
* As of this episode, Ult has met every high ranking member from the [[Explorers]].
* Instead of the usual ending animation sequence, [[Asleep or Awake|the ending theme ]] is played as an insert song near the end of the episode, with the credits being shown on-screen during the song.
** This is also the first episode to use an ending theme as an insert song since ''[[JN147|The Rainbow and the Pokémon Master!]]'' where [[Team Rocket's Team Song]] was used as such.

==In animation==
===History===
====Pre-series====
[[File:Young Friede.png|250px|left|thumb|Friede prior to forming the Rising Volt Tacklers]]
Friede grew up somewhere in the [[Kanto]] [[region]] with his childhood friend [[Orla]] and had {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} as his [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]]. After Orla moved to [[Slateport City]] in the [[Hoenn]] region, Friede finished growing up in Kanto and was taught by [[Lucca]]. He came to know the [[Roy's grandfather|elder]] on an [[Roy's hometown|island]] in Kanto as he looked after him. Also, Friede met [[Ludlow]] and came to see him as a mentor. Friede eventually became a [[Pokémon Professor]], after quitting his job at [[Exceed]] because he didn't want to be cooped up in a lab and lost the passion for researching, and began to live the carefree life with Ludlow on his [[fishing]] boat.

As revealed in ''[[HZ018|Flying Pikachu, Rising Higher and Higher!]]'', Friede was in the [[Paldea]] region with Ludlow when Lucca introduced him to a [[Flying Pikachu]], reigniting his passion for research. Friede eventually managed to convince Pikachu to become partners with him and traveled to Hoenn, where he had Orla convert Ludlow's fishing boat into an airship, which Friede named the [[Brave Olivine]]. Once the job was done, Orla and Ludlow joined Friede as the founding members of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]], with [[Captain Pikachu|Pikachu]] serving as the airship's figurehead captain.

Later, Friede met [[Murdock]], [[Wy-Yes]], and [[Mollie]] as they joined the Rising Volt Tacklers. Sometime after Wy-Yes left to become a journalist, Friede met Murdock's niece, [[Dot]], as he asked her for help in making an app for the team, which she accepted and joined the team. One day, Friede was contacted by Lucca as she asked him to bring her daughter [[Liko]], who was attending [[Indigo Academy]] in Kanto, to Paldea and protect her during the journey there.

====''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''====
[[File:Friede and Amethio rivalry.png|250px|thumb|Friede's rivalry with Amethio]]
Friede debuted in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]''. He was first seen coming to Liko's rescue on his Charizard's back after she was confronted by [[Amethio]]. His Charizard went up against [[Amethio's Ceruledge]], but the confrontation ended abruptly after they witnessed the power Liko's mysterious pendant held. After rescuing her and {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} from falling in [[HZ002|the next episode]], Friede flew her back to the [[Brave Olivine]] and introduced them to the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers. The [[Explorers]] soon attacked the ship, and Friede challenged Amethio to a battle, this time using [[Captain Pikachu]] against Amethio's Ceruledge, only for the battle to be cut short by Liko. After Liko's Sprigatito unleashed a {{m|Leafage}} strong enough to break the forcefield around the battlefield, Friede and Liko watched powerlessly as the Explorers fled, kidnapping Sprigatito in the process.

In ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'', Friede and some of the Rising Volt Tacklers got together to search for Liko's Sprigatito. When [[Murdock]]'s {{p|Rockruff}} found [[Onia]] shopping, Friede and Liko chased her back to a warehouse. There, he clashed against Amethio once again; this time, however, as a distraction to allow for Liko and Rockruff to be able to rescue Sprigatito. After they succeeded, Friede and Liko made their escape. At the end of the day, Friede confirmed that Liko's mother asked the group to protect Liko—something he had briefly mentioned earlier—and they decide to team up to uncover the mysteries surrounding Liko's pendant.

In ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', Friede spotted a familiar island off the coast of Kanto and docked the Brave Olivine for maintenance to be done on the airship. In order to gather materials, he sought the alder, but left empty-handed. In the [[HZ005|next]] [[HZ006|episodes]], Friede confronted Amethio once again on the island's shore. He managed to stall the Explorers's admin with Charizard, but got distracted for a moment, allowing his opponent to launch an assault on Liko, whose pendant activated at the right time to protect her. As the battle went on, Liko's pendant and Roy's [[Ancient Poké Ball]] reacted to each other's presence. Suddenly, a [[Black Rayquaza]] was released from the Poké Ball and quickly forced the Explorers to retreat with a {{m|Draco Meteor}} shower.

In ''[[HZ007|Special Training with Cap!]]'', Friede set up a special training session for Liko and Roy after being moved by their determination to get stronger. For the newly-recruited Rising Volt Tacklers to win, they only needed to land a single hit on his Pikachu, which proved to be much more difficult than it initially seemed due to his {{m|Double Team}}. After a break, he encouraged them both to battle against each other in order to see how much they've grown after the training.
[[File:Friede and Lucca.png|thumb|250px|left|Friede and Lucca]]
In ''[[HZ012|The Future I Choose]]'', after finding out there was a communication issue around their area, Friede went out with his Pikachu and Charizard and he soon found a {{p|Magneton}} using its magnetic field. Friede scared it away with his Pikachu, after that he was able to get a call from Liko, asking him if he could get water for the {{Berries}} that they planted, so he brought [[Ludlow]] with him to use his {{p|Quagsire}}'s {{m|Rain Dance}}. Friede later went to the [[Artazon]]'s library to find information about the Ancient Poké Ball. Coincidentally, he met his former homeroom teacher<ref>https://x.com/anipoke_PR/status/1789460483508260947?t=4BnStqkVp1nrKLTEclpsrQ&s=19</ref> [[Lucca]], whose {{p|Squawkabilly}} gave him a hint that Liko's grandmother [[Diana]] was currently in [[Galar]].

In ''[[HZ014|Fly! Wattrel!!]]'', Friede dispersed a group of Magneton disturbing the connection around the Brave Olivine. Fending them off, he restored the connection and left to pursue one of the Magneton. However, this ended up being a lure into an ambush by [[Spinel]], who remotely ordered his Pokémon to attack Friede's Charizard. Driven into a corner, Friede was forced to reveal his [[Tera Orb]], {{Tera}}stallizing his Charizard and turning the odds enough to force Spinel's Pokémon to retreat.

In ''[[HZ022|Charge! Galar Mine!]]'', Friede arrived with Liko and Roy to the [[Galar Mine]] to look for the Black Rayquaza, but got separated from them. While looking for Liko and Roy, Friede encountered the Explores and battled Amethio again. During the battle, a {{TP|Lucius|Galarian|Moltres}} {{p|Moltres}} that had an Ancient Poké Ball appeared. However, when Captain Pikachu got injured during the battle, Friede stayed to battle the Explores while Liko and Roy left with his partner in order for him to recover. In the [[HZ023|next episode]], Friede met up with Captain Pikachu, Liko, and Roy at [[Motostoke]]'s [[Pokémon Center]]. After his Charizard recovered from his injures, Friede and the group decided to go back to battle Moltres again in order to calm it down. They succeeded and Moltres returned to its Ancient Poké Ball.

In ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]'', Friede, Liko, and Roy arrived at [[Hammerlocke]] in order to find an [[ancient castle|castle]] that [[Diana]], Liko's grandmother, was at. Through her {{p|Squawkabilly}}, Friede and his friends were able to find her. They hung out at the castle until the Explorers, who have been following them, arrived at their location. In the [[HZ025|next episode]], as Diana stalled the enemy group, Friede took Liko and Roy through the castle's underground passage and instructed them to stay at a safe place while he climbed up the tower and tried estabilishing contact with the Brave Olivine. Soon, he was confronted by Amethio once more, and another battle of Charizard versus Ceruledge ensued. Despite initially attacking more carefully and from a distance this time, Amethio tricked them into activating Ceruledge's Weak Armor, which increased its speed again and allowed it to land a flurry of {{m|Night Slash}}es. Seemingly overwhelmed and about to be hit by a finishing {{m|Psycho Cut}}, Friede Terastallized Charizard into a Dark type, rendering the opposing attack useless, and finished off the battle by defeating Ceruledge with a supereffective {{m|Tera Blast}}. After [[Coral]] set off her {{p|Glalie}}'s {{m|Self-Destruct}}, Friede and his Pokémon managed to barely escape the explosion and reunited with the Rising Volt Tacklers.

In ''[[HZ031|Song Within the Mist]]'', Friede and his teammates got a lead on {{TP|Lucius|Lapras}}, who happened to be one of Lucius's Pokémon, after they got a led through a ship crew that saw the Transport Pokémon. After failing to get Lapras to come out, Friede realized that something was wrong, as he devised a plan to get the Transport Pokémon back. Through his plan, Friede realized that Lapras was using {{m|Mist}} to distract the ship's members so {{p|Wailord}} and various other Pokémon could steal food from them then lead them out when they were done to avoid suspicious. In the [[HZ032|next episode]], Friede was able to help prevent the Pokémon from stealing their food, but failed to keep up with them when Lapras used {{m|Ice Beam}} on their ship. Friede, Liko, and Roy decided to follow the create trail to where Lapras and her friends were hiding out. They were able to convince her that they were friends too and the Transport Pokémon returned to her Ancient Poké Ball. However, before setting off, Friede and its friends witnessed the Black Rayquaza arrive at their location.

In ''[[HZ033|Roar of the Black Rayquaza]]'', Friede watched as Amethio and {{TP|Liko|Terapagos}}, who transformed, battled the Black Rayquaza. After Terapagos collapsed and the Black Rayquaza went off, Friede talked with Diana, who revealed that she was planning to travel on her own again, which he understood. In the [[HZ034|next episode]], Friede attended a surprise party that Liko and Roy setup for Diana's departure. Once they bid farewell to her, the Rising Volt Tacklers resumed their search for the remaining Six Heroes. However, Friede informed his teammates that they are heading to [[Paldea]] first in order to gain information on Terapagos.

In ''[[HZ035|The Wild Pair, Friede and Cap!]]'', Friede took a job assignment from his friend [[Shine]], in order to raise money for supplies, with Liko and Roy accompany him. Their task was to find his {{p|Bramblin}}, which blew away from him, and they were informed that a group of {{OBP|Pokémon hunters|HZ035}} were operating near the area. Although they were able to find Bramblin a few times, Friede and his friends failed to keep at one place, which led the Tumbleweed Pokémon getting captured by the Pokémon Hunters. Fortunately, Friede and his friends efforts helped save Bramblin, as it [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Brambleghast}}, and defeated the Pokémon Hunters. After brining Brambleghast back to Shine and bringing in the Pokémon Hunters into the authorities, Friede was able to get paid, which will help the Rising Volt Tacklers get supplies for their return journey to Paldea.
[[File:Friede Amethio HZ045.png|250px|thumb|Friede and Amethio joining forces to battle Black Rayquaza]]
In ''[[HZ044|The Plan to Capture Rayquaza]]'', Friede and the Rising Volt Tacklers received information regarding the Explorers in Paldea, so he went to check out a suspicious watchtower with Liko and Roy. Friede decided to go in first, only to realize it was a trap by Spinel who wanted to distract him to ensure he does not interfere with his plans. The space was too enclosed to use Charizard so Friede sent out his Pikachu againt his oppnent's {{p|Umbreon}}. Captain Pikachu struggled intially against Umbreon due to its {{m|Foul Play}} and {{m|Reflect}} working against him, so Friede craftily formed a plan to allow him to break out of the watchtower using Umbreon's Reflect, allowing the two to escape with Charizard. Friede then joined up with his friends to interfere with the Explorers' plans to capture the Black Rayquaza.

In ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]'', Friede and the Rising Volt Tacklers watched in shock as Coral's attack sent Rayquaza crashing into their airship. Thankfully, Murdock and the rest were able to land it safely nearby. After the Explorers retreated, Friede joined Liko, Roy, and Dot in battling Rayquaza, until the [[Legendary Pokémon]] unleashed a {{m|Draco Meteor}}. Liko was promptly saved by Amethio and his Ceruledge, who reluctantly joined forces with Friede to take on Rayquaza. Both Trainers Terastallized their Pokémon and landed powerful consecutive attacks which seemed to overwhelm Rayquaza, but it used a powerful {{m|Dragon Ascent}} to defeat them. After Liko's newly [[Evolution|evolved]] {{p|Floragato}} and [[Roy's Fuecoco]] managed to hit Rayquaza, everyone's Pokémon were soon exhausted form the fight and the Legendary Pokémon flew back into the sky while Friede, Liko, Roy, and Dot reunited with the rest of the team. Friede soon suggested to the three to undergo [[Tera Training]] at [[Naranja Academy]] to become stronger Trainers.
[[File:Friede Yanga HZ054.png|250px|left|thumb|Friede investigating the Treasure of Eternity with [[Yanga]]]]
In ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]'', after a brief conversation with Orla about the Brave Olivine's fate, it was revealed that Friede went on a journey alone with Lucius's Pokémon and equipment. [[HZ054|Some time later]], this investigation took Friede back to [[Exceed]] where he found connections between Lucius's Pokémon and a project called ''Treasure of Eternity''. Upon meeting up with old acquaintances, Friede discovered that he was in a trap set by Spinel in the shadows and, before escaping, he discovered that the entire Treasure of Eternity project was no longer in Exceed's possession.

In ''[[HZ057|The Terapagos I Don't Know]]'', Friede met up with Liko, Roy, and Dot. They showed him the [[Scarlet Book]] that had a picture of Terapagos. After asking for information about Terapagos from Clavell and Geeta, Friede and his friends met with [[Raifort]], who provided a location and information about Laqua. Before continuing his own journey, Friede wished Liko, Roy, and Dot good luck in their second Gym Leader battles.
[[File:Friede and Carmine HZ069.png|250px|thumb|Friede's rivalry with [[Carmine]]]]
In ''[[HZ064|The Approaching Shadow!]]'', Friede was alerted by Roy and Dot that Liko was missing, so he decided to ask for [[Grusha]]'s help. In the [[HZ065|next episode]], Friede and Captain Pikachu caught up with the kids and was relieved that the [[Gym Leader]] had found Liko. Later, Friede asked the girl what Spinel was doing and, after hearing his story about using the Treasure of Eternity that sent the man's Umbreon into a rampage and how Terapagos destroyed the crystal, purifying its effects, Friede realized that it was the [[Laquium]] and decided to find out more information about it.

In ''[[HZ068|Into a New Sky! The Brave Olivine!]]'', Friede reunited with Liko, Roy, and Dot on the new Brave Olivine. After the children took a tour of the ship, Friede returned Lucius's Pokémon to Liko's care. After watching the [[Six Heroes]] test Liko, Roy, and Dot's improvements, Friede congratulated them on their growth as Trainers and decided to head towards [[Kitakami]], where they arrived shortly after thanks to the new improvements the ship had.

Already in Kitakami, in ''[[HZ069|Roy is Crocalor, and Crocalor is Roy!]]'', Friede and the others went to look for information about [[Briar]]'s whereabouts. While participating in the [[Countryside Harvest Festival]], a {{p|Sinistcha}} caught his attention, but when Friede met her Trainer [[Carmine]], he entered into a series of disputes with her. Eventually, overcoming all of the challenges proposed by her, Friede discovered that Briar was at the [[Crystal Pool]], and that thanks to Mollie's deeds, the group gained safe passage to be able to go there without much difficulty.

In ''[[HZ073|Kleavor the Solitary Warrior]]'', Friede and his group encountered [[Lucius's Kleavor]], but he and [[Perrin]] got separated from the others chasing after the latter's {{p|Growlithe}}. After reuniting with Liko's group once their battle with Kleavor ended, everybody assisted to a memory of Lucius encountering the Pokémon, as well as learning about his aquaintance named Rystal. Afterwards, Kleavor returned to its Ancient Poké Ball and joined the Rising Volt Tacklers.

In ''[[HZ078|Entei's Fierce Battle Cry!]]'', Friede, alongside Liko, Roy, and Dot, battled an {{p|Entei}} on a volcanic island in [[Johto]] thinking it was the specimen of Lucius. Eventually, they discovered that it was a {{pkmn2|wild}} one. Shortly after, they received notification from Briar of a possible warning from Entei in [[Area Zero]], so Friede and the Rising Volt Tacklers decided to return to Paldea.

[[File:Friede disappearance.png|thumb|250px|left|Friede and {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} disappearing to parts unknown]]
In ''[[HZ081|The Pillar of Fire]]'', Friede and the younger members battled against Lucius's Entei, which turned out to be a {{TP|Lucius|Gouging Fire}}, after passing Gouging Fire's trial with an intense battle, Gouging Fire returned to its Ancient Poké Ball. Afterwards the remaining Six Heroes summoned the Black Rayquaza to Area Zero, much to Friede and the younger members shock. In [[HZ082|the next episode]], Friede and the younger members battled against Rayquaza once more. Despite putting up a tough fight with great strategies, Rayquaza defeated most of the group's Pokemon, leaving Roy's Crocalor and Pagogo to battle Rayquaza. After Pagogo dealt massive damage to Rayquaza and Roy's Crocalor Terastallize then used a final move on it, the Sky High Pokémon was weekend enough for Roy to recapture it into its Ancient Poké Ball, fulfilling his dream. Friede and the Rising Volt Tacklers then followed Rayquaza in search for Laqua.

In ''[[HZ086|The Rising Volt Tacklers vs. The Explorers!]]'', Friede had a battle against Spinel. Despite Spinel's tricky tactics of swapping abilities and powerful coordinated attacks, Friede was able to win by outsmarting him with his own intuition. After Friede won, both Captain Pikachu and Charizard were exhausted, with Spinel fleeing as a result.

In ''[[HZ087|Guided by the Black Rayquaza!]]'', due to Gibeon and the Explorers mining for Laquium, the pink must it created affected the already battle-worn Captain Pikachu and Charizard, causing them to go berserk and knock each other out. Friede was forced to recall his Pokémon and watch on as Liko, Roy, Dot, and Amethio battled against Gibeon's Zygarde.

In ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', after Gibeon was defeated and the Laquium had been purified, Friede aided Liko, Roy, and Dot in escaping from the Six Heroes in Laqua who went berserk due to Spinel's schemes. As they attempted to board the Brave Olivine, a heavy gust of wind emerged. At the last moment, Friede managed to get Captain Pikachu onto the ship before he and Charizard were blown off, as they are sent tumbling back towards Laqua, leaving their status unknown. In ''[[HZ091|Eyes to the Skies Once Again, Part 2]]'', it was revealed that the Rising Volt Tacklers spent time looking for Friede before the Explorers closed off the area around Laqua but were unable to find him.

A year later, in ''[[HZ100|We Are the Rising Volt Tacklers!]]'', it was revealed in a message sent a month earlier on the Rising Volt Tacklers' [[Rotom Phone]] app that Friede and Charizard survived the crash but were hiding somewhere due to heavy surveillance by the Explorers.

In [[HZ120]], Friede contacted his teammates to tell them that he is coming back. Friede then revealed to them that he is returning to the Rising Volt Tacklers from outer space. Friede returned to Earth during the [[HZ121|next episode]], where he was shown to own a {{p|Starmie}} that was capable of [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]].

===Character===
[[File:Friede Captain Pikachu Donuts.png|250px|thumb|Friede and Captain Pikachu enjoying Murdock's donuts]]
Friede appears to be a young and competent {{pkmn|Trainer}}, albeit rather distracted and forgetful, as he forgets to mention certain things to his friends sometimes. Despite this, Friede is quite protective of his team, whether putting himself in danger to protect the ship or protecting his teammates from opponents, especially the younger members. In ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', Friede has stated that he doesn't like to be acknowledged as a [[Pokémon Professor]]. If someone were to say his name in any type of formality, he would rather change the subject. When he introduced [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] as official members of the Rising Volt Tacklers, they both said their thanks and both referred him as "''Mister'' Friede", which Friede quickly corrects them, preferring to be called simply by his name.

Friede also has a more immature and silly side, like when he eats the donuts made by [[Murdock]] for his niece [[Dot]] together with [[Captain Pikachu]], or when he is tricked by a merchant to buy his wares to remember two people who asked him about a [[Black Rayquaza]], however without getting any useful information. He also does not appear to take [[Amethio]] seriously, often making snarky remarks before their routinely battles. Nonetheless, he is a formidable Trainer with access to {{Tera}}stallization and has shown to be very wise, such as in ''[[HZ007|Special Training with Cap!]]'', when he offered advice and training for the younger members of the Rising Volt Tacklers in order to become great Pokémon Trainers.

Friede respects [[Lucca]] as she was his homeroom teacher and had done a lot for him, as he won't have met Captain Pikachu, regain his passion for researching and formed the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] without her help and guidance. Friede also seems to be close with [[Orla]], due to being friends with her since childhood. Although they were apart for many years, Friede's friendship with Orla remain strong, as he immediately went to her for help in making an airship and accepted her request in joining him on his adventures. In addition, Friede has a very good relationship with [[Ludlow]] and sees him as a mentor. Friede seems to be great friends with Murdock and enjoys hanging out with him. Friede even gets along really well with Mollie and the younger members, especially Liko and Roy, whom he is especially fond of and helps them through their goals.

Friede doesn't like to talk about his past and his life before forming the Rising Volt Tacklers, as seen in ''[[HZ018|Flying Pikachu, Rising Higher and Higher!]]'', when he didn't give the younger members any answer as to how Captain Pikachu was flying during a battle. However, after Orla told everyone that he was going to share as to how he met Captain Pikachu and the formation of the Rising Volt Tacklers with everyone, Friede gave in and decided to open up to his teammates about his past.

===Pokémon===
[[File:Friede and his Pokémon.png|250px|thumb|Friede's [[party]] prior to [[HZ121]]]]
Friede's team consists of strong and independent Pokémon who lead the rest of the Pokémon that belong to his teammates and the group who live on the Brave Olivine. Also, Friede's partners are strong in battle and are able to hold their own, but there have been times they were overwhelmed by a stronger opponent. In addition, Friede's Charizard is capable of {{Tera}}stallization.

This listing is of Friede's known {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in {{aniseries|HZ}}:

===Accomplishments===
[[File:Pokémon distribution map.png|250px|thumb|The Pokémon distribution map]]
As a [[Pokémon Professor]], Friede worked on some important {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} reports.

* '''Pokémon distribution map''': Presented at academic conferences, and converted into an app on the [[Rotom Phone]], if the [[Trainer]] finds a Pokémon that is not listed on the map, the system generates a report on the species found.

She is a skilled programmer and a member of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]. Online, she is known as '''Nidothing''' (Japanese: '''ぐるみん''' ''Gurumin''), a popular content creator and streamer that makes videos on various topics of the [[Pokémon world]].

==In animation==
===History===
====Pre-series====
[[File:Dot and Friede.png|250px|thumb|left|Dot meeting Friede for the first time]]
Dot grew up with her mother, [[Franka]], and has known her uncle, [[Murdock]], for a long time. Eventually, she became a popular video streamer known online as Nidothing, inspired by {{an|Iono}}, with whom she would form a friendship as her online career took off.

As revealed in ''[[HZ041|A Wild Mom Appears!]]'', sometime before the events of the series, Dot struggled to find inspiration for her content, as she lacked the personal experience to properly discuss the topics she covered. One day, she met [[Friede]], a [[Pokémon Professor]] and friend of Murdock, who asked if she could develop an app for his band of adventurers, the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]. Dot initially refused, but words of advice from Iono led her not only to accomplish Friede's request, but also to join his group on the [[Brave Olivine]], allowing her to go out and see what the world could offer, on the condition that she would have to return home if her mother felt she had been away for too long.

During her time on the Brave Olivine, Dot befriended a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{TP|Dot|Quaxly}} that started making appearances on her streams.
{{-}}
====''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''====
[[File:Dot and Ludlow picnic.png|250px|thumb|Dot and Ludlow having fun on a picnic]]
Dot, as Nidothing, debuted in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]'', taking part in several videos alongside Quaxly.

She debuted as herself in ''[[HZ007|Special Training with Cap!]]'', where it was revealed she was part of the Rising Volt Tacklers as well as [[Murdock]]'s niece. [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] went to Dot's room hoping to gather information on the [[Black Rayquaza]]'s whereabouts, only to receive a drawing of Roy losing a battle. Later, after seeing Liko and Roy's dedication to becoming better Trainers, Dot gave them another drawing indicating that Rayquaza was in the [[Paldea]] [[region]].

In the following [[HZ008|episode]], while Liko came to visit after Dot rebuffed her for her share of the food, Liko heard Nidothing's video theme from behind Dot's door and assumed Dot also enjoyed watching Nidothing's livestreams. Liko attempted to invite Dot to watch the livestream together, but was caught off guard upon hearing Dot abruptly shouting about something, leaving Liko confused. Liko told her how much she admires Nidothing, how knowledgeable she was about Pokémon, and how fun it was to watch her. Afterwards, while Liko was watching her video in real time, Dot read her comment, which made Liko flustered that someone she admired was reading her comment. The comment shared a similar description of Dot's personality, making Dot feel awkward. During the day, Murdock tried to get Dot out of her room by placing a tray of his donuts in a cabinet. Later that night, Dot, having been touched by Liko's kindness, sneaked into the kitchen and grabbed them for herself and Quaxly, making Murdock happy that his plan was successful.

In ''[[HZ009|Welcome to Paldea!]]'', as soon as Liko arrived in Paldea, Dot began to open up a little more to her. Following [[Ludlow]]'s advice, Dot left an illustration on Liko's bedroom door and when she thanked her, Dot said on the other side that she would wait for her. Accidentally, Liko saw Dot laundering her Nidothing costume while on her way to her house to approach {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} again. However, in ''[[HZ011|Arboliva's Forest]]'', while Dot was trying to tell Liko the truth, Liko revealed that she just thought that Dot was just a Nidothing fan, leaving Liko without actually knowing the Nidothing's real identity.

In ''[[HZ013|An Unexpected Picnic!]]'', as Dot was in progress of making a new video about [[picnic]]s, she didn't have any idea on what to talk about, as she'd never been in a picnic before. After receiving a message from Liko, that she could make her own sandwich in the meeting room, causing Dot's stomach to growl. She decided to leave her room and to her surprise, she found table of [[sandwich]] [[ingredient]]s that she could use, though she didn't know how to make one. Ludlow explained to Dot that Liko wanted to share fun experiences with her to help build a better friendship. Considering Ludlow's words and with the help of her fellow members, she was able to create a video about picnicking. Afterwards, as thanks, Dot sent Liko a message of her wearing her Nidothing costume alongside with Quaxly and Ludlow, but Liko once again failed to make the connection. Ludlow and Friede decided to let Dot be the one to decide when to actually explain the truth to Liko.
[[File:Dot and Iono.png|thumb|250px|left|Dot and Iono interacting with each other]]
In ''[[HZ015|Someone We Can't See! Whosawhatsit?]]'', when the Rising Volt Tacklers noticed Liko had been absent for a while, Dot pointed their search towards [[Artazon]], where sightings of a girl with a {{p|Sprigatito}} had been reported online; this, however, was only misinformation created by [[Spinel]] to delay them. Quickly after realizing this, Dot reached out for {{an|Iono}} in order to collab with her and reach a larger audience to search for Liko. Her plan was a success, as Liko was found in Levincia, but Iono suddenly turned this into a game of tag, leading the girl to run away. Now, with the Rising Volt Tacklers heading towards the right place, Dot asked Friede to take her there as well, partnering up with Quaxly in the process. In Levincia, using information from Iono's livestream, Dot and Roy were able to predict where Liko would be and reunited with her; in the process, Dot finally met Roy and Liko in person, after only communicating with them from inside her room.
[[File:Liko Roy Dot Paldean first partners.png|250px|thumb|Dot and her friends battling the Explorers]]
In ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]'', Dot {{pkmn2|caught}} Quaxly as her [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]] and officially became a Pokémon Trainer. Following this, the Rising Volt Tacklers started looking around Levincia for Liko's pendant, which had been taken by Spinel. Dot, Liko, and Roy split up when {{TP|Lucius|Arboliva}}'s [[Ancient Poké Ball]] begun glowing, as this meant the pendant was nearby. She and Quaxly found their way to a docked cargo ship, where they were ambushed by a {{p|Beheeyem}} and a {{p|Magneton}}. They held their ground and, despite the signal being jammed, managed to alert Liko and Roy to their location with a clever use of {{m|Water Gun}}. The three of them engaged in battle against Spinel's Pokémon, with this being Dot's first-ever battle, but they were quickly defeated once their opponent unleashed his {{p|Umbreon}}. Despite this loss, they were able to retrieve the pendant, which reacted with Liko's strong emotions, and made their escape with Arboliva. Later that night, encouraged by Quaxly, Dot revealed to Liko that she was Nidothing.
[[File:Dot and Tinkatink.png|thumb|250px|left|Dot catches Tinkatink as her second Pokémon]]
In ''[[HZ039|Tinkatink's Ideal Hammer]]'', Dot's microphone broke down during a Nidothing livestream. She, Liko, and Roy went on a trip to [[Steelbound Town]], where she purchased a replacement microphone and another to use as a prop. After getting separated from the others, Dot came across a wild {{TP|Dot|Tinkatink}} failing to take a man's hammer. To Dot's surprise, Tinkatink stole the prop microphone and immediately began working it into a new hammer. Later, Tinkatink climbed aboard the Brave Olivine in order to show Dot the hammer she made, only to be blamed for destroying the ship's supply of iron materials. The true culprit was a wild {{p|Orthworm}}, which Dot managed to defeat and drive off with Quaxly and Tinkatink's help. Upon realizing that Tinkatink wanted to stay with her, Dot accepted her wish and used a {{i|Poké Ball}} Quaxly gave her to catch her. Later, Dot introduced Tinkatink to her viewers in a livestream, only to nearly have her identity exposed when Tinkatink tried to steal the zipper off her Nidothing costume.
[[File:Dot and Franka.png|250px|thumb|Dot and Franka]]
In ''[[HZ041|A Wild Mom Appears!]]'', Dot's mother [[Franka]] came aboard the Brave Olivine, intending to take Dot home with her. Worried for how Dot felt about the situation, Liko and Roy asked her to tell them about how she came aboard the Brave Olivine. Later, when Franka realized her daughter had become a Trainer, she challenged Dot to a battle, much to the latter's confusion. During their battle, Dot conveyed to Franka how much she had grown as a person after joining the Rising Volt Tacklers. Her determination to win allowed Quaxly to learn {{m|Low Kick}} and defeat Franka's {{p|Lycanroc}}. Afterward, Dot asked if she could end the trial period and become a permanent member of the Rising Volt Tacklers, which Franka readily agreed to.

In ''[[HZ044|The Plan to Capture Rayquaza]]'', the Explorers used a machine capable of recreating Terapagos's energy to summon the Black Rayquaza. While Dot worked on a kill program for the machine, Liko and Roy used their Pokémon to keep the Explorers distracted. Their efforts paid off, but after Dot shut the machine down, [[Coral]] lost her temper and commanded her {{p|Glalie}} to use {{m|Self-Destruct}}. The attack collided with Rayquaza's {{m|Dragon Pulse}}, creating an explosion powerful enough to blast the {{pkmn|category|Sky High Pokémon}} directly into the hull of the Brave Olivine.

In ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]'', the ship was safely docked while the Explorers retreated, realizing their operation was a failure. Hoping to convey Terapagos's desire to reach [[Laqua]], Dot, Roy, Liko, and Friede challenged Rayquaza to a battle, which it readily accepted. Quaxly combined its strength with Sprigatito to launch attacks, but was quickly taken out by a stray {{m|Draco Meteor}}, leaving Dot unable to help with the rest of the battle. Eventually, only Liko and Roy were left, but, despite the best efforts of their Pokémon, they were unable to do much against the Sky High Pokémon. Later, Dot, Liko, and Roy decided to become stronger by learning how to use the Terastal phenomenon.

In ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]'', Dot, Liko, and Roy enrolled in [[Naranja Academy]] as part of the [[Tera Training]] module. They each received a [[Tera Orb]] and were tasked with battling a selected [[Gym Leader]] as part of their basic aptitude test—in Dot's case, Iono was chosen as her opponent.

The group arrived in Levincia for her test in ''[[HZ049|Dot and Nidothing]]'', where they reunited with the other Rising Volt Tacklers and Iono. Right before a rehearsal match, Dot learned that Iono planned on streaming the upcoming test, resulting in her feeling anxious and being unable to properly focus on the battle, to which the Gym Leader offered that she could battle as Nidothing instead. Later, Dot hosted a Nidothing livestream touring through Levincia, though Liko and Quaxly were keen to notice that she seemed to be forcing herself to act cheerful. When asked if she was truly okay with taking the test as Nidothing, Dot snapped, insisting her decision was final, only for the conversation to be interrupted by a wild {{p|Varoom}} accidentally running off with the Nidothing costume. Dot chased after the Pokémon to the middle of the city and, despite being surrounded by onlookers and cameras, was able to overcome her anxiety, allowing her to effectively issue commands for Quaxly to defeat Varoom and retrieve the costume.

Dot's battle against Iono began in the [[HZ050|following episode]]. Despite having studied her opponent's {{p|Bellibolt}} beforehand, Dot still struggled against the more experienced Pokémon, but she still managed to take advantage of an unexpected situation by Terastallizing Quaxly during a power outage, allowing him to damage his opponent while Iono's attention was elsewhere. Once the power was restored, however, Iono retaliated, Terastallizing her Bellibolt and defeating Quaxly with a supereffective move. Despite the loss, Dot and Quaxly still managed to pass their basics test for fully letting loose and having fun in battle, showing how their bond got improved.
[[File:Dot and Penny.png|thumb|250px|left|Dot and Penny]]
In ''[[HZ055|Showdown! The Paldea Elite Four]]'', Dot, Liko, and Roy participated in the [[Elite Four Tag Battle]] alongside the Gym Leaders they battled for their basic aptitude tests. Dot and Iono went up against [[Poppy]]'s {{p|Copperajah|Rajah}} and {{p|Tinkaton|Tinkie}} and, despite a initial struggle, managed to get the upper hand due to Dot's quick thinking: while her Quaxly Terastallized to distract Tinkie, Iono's Bellibolt defeated Rajah with an {{a|Electromorphosis}}-boosted {{m|Zap Cannon}}, winning the battle by default. In the [[HZ056|following episode]], Dot took care of Terapagos while Liko had her battle. At some point, the {{pkmn|category|Tera Pokémon}} wandered off, and she chased it to the academy's library, where she met [[Penny]] and learned that [[Chalce|Chive]] had somehow been registered as a teacher without Penny's knowing. After a brief encounter with Chive, Dot discovered and took out a copy of the [[Scarlet Book]], which Terapagos took an interest in.

In ''[[HZ059|Dance, Quaxly! The Blue Medali Step!]]'', Dot, Liko, and Roy arrived at [[Medali]]'s {{DL|Medali|Treasure Eatery}}, where they met [[Larry]], the Gym Leader that Dot would have to battle for her Tera Training usage test. Despite her best tactics, the battle was not in her favor, with Larry managing to defeat Tinkatink and {{status|paralyze}} Quaxly while keeping both of his Pokémon. After realizing Quaxly had been imitating the movements of other Pokémon throughout the battle, Dot told him to incorporate those movements into his attacks, allowing him to deal a series of blows on {{p|Staraptor}}, which was the push necessary for Quaxly to [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}}. Dot followed it up with a Terastallization, but the paralysis persisted, leaving Quaxwell wide open to be defeated by his opponent. Although she lost, Larry praised Dot's ingenuity during the battle and awarded her a passing review.

In ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]'', Dot was contacted by Penny during the [[Tera Training Student Battle Tournament]], who informed her that someone on the inside was hacking into the academy's system. They quickly came to the conclusion that the Explorers, through Chalce, were trying to steal information about Terapagos. In order for the tournament to not be interrupted, they kept this under wraps and tried to solve it themselves, with Dot asking Liko and Roy for help to look out for the Explorers. Dot managed to find Chalce, but her {{p|Medicham}} alerted her and managed to keep Quaxwell at bay. Even with Penny trying to block her access to the system, Chalce managed to steal the data and {{m|Teleport}}ed away with her {{p|Xatu}}. In the [[HZ067|following episode]], Dot faced [[Rob]] and his {{p|Darumaka}} in the tournament and won after Terastallizing her Quaxwell.

Following the end of the Tera Training course, Dot, Liko, and Roy reunited with the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers in ''[[HZ068|Into a New Sky! The Brave Olivine!]]''. After receiving Lucius's belt back from Friede, Dot was challenged by Lucius's Lapras, who wanted to test her strength as a Trainer at the end of her Tera Training. After exchanging a couple of attacks, Dot Terastallized Quaxwell and had her use an enhanced Liquidation, which Lapras withstood, but still seemed content with their growth before returning to her Poké Ball soon after.

Before they left Naranja Academy, [[Raifort]] informed them about [[Briar]], a Terapagos researcher currently stationed in the land of [[Kitakami]], so the Rising Volt Tacklers decided to head there next. In ''[[HZ070|Tinkatink's Hammer Wasn't Made in a Day]]'', Dot, Liko, Roy, and Friede traveled up [[Oni Mountain]] to meet with Briar at the [[Crystal Pool]], where Briar was at, according to [[Carmine]]. Along the way, a wild {{p|Bombirdier}} pestered the group by dropping various objects on them and stole a metal plate that Tinkatink wanted to improve her hammer. Dot and her Pokémon chased Bombirdier to its nest, where Quaxwell was forced to confront it and its Terastallized partner while Tinkatink retrieved the plate. Once Tinkatink finished forging her new hammer, she evolved into {{p|Tinkatuff}} and turned the tide of battle, driving the Bombirdier off. In the [[HZ071|following episode]], the group arrived at the Crystal Pool and met with Briar, with whom they discussed about Terapagos, but ultimately left with no new leads. As the group returned to the Brave Olivine, Dot stayed behind in [[Mossui Town]] to record some footage for her channel and ended up meeting [[Perrin]], a photographer who snapped a photo of a {{TP|Lucius|Kleavor}} in [[Tengu Mountain]], though couldn't remember the exact location.

Dot, Liko, Roy, Friede, and Perrin arrived in Tengu Mountain in ''[[HZ072|The Search for Kleavor!]]''. Following an encounter with some a pack of wild {{p|Houndour}} and {{p|Houndoom}}, Dot was separated from the others, but soon found Perrin and discovered that her inability to remember Kleavor's location was due to the effects of a wild {{p|Trevenant}}'s {{m|Confuse Ray}}. With her skills, Dot was able to determine exactly where the photo had been taken, leading to the now reunited group successfully tracking down Kleavor in the [[HZ073|following episode]]. Despite Liko and Lapras's pleas, Kleavor did not go with them so easily, deciding to test the group's might first. After a long battle over various terrains, Kleavor emerged victorious over Dot, Liko, and Roy's Terastallized Pokémon, but still acknowledged their strength and decided to return to its Ancient Poké Ball.

After following leads from [[Wy-Yes]] and [[Siskel]], the Rising Volt Tacklers found what was presumed to be Lucius's {{p|Entei}} in ''[[HZ078|Entei's Fierce Battle Cry!]]'', in an archipelago off the [[Olivine City]] coast. Although they failed to defeat it, Entei still recognized their strength, but was revealed to be a [[wild Pokémon]] unrelated to the Six Heroes.

The Rising Volt Tacklers's search for Lucius's Entei led them to Paldea's {{pal|Pokémon League}} building in ''[[HZ079|Over the Top!]]'', after Briar notified them about recent sightings of an Entei in Area Zero. In order for Dot, Liko, and Roy to be granted access to the area, they were tasked with defeating Geeta's Pokémon, consisting of a {{p|Glimmora}} and two {{p|Glimmet}}, in a battle. In the end, only Floragato and Glimmora remained, with Liko's Pokémon barely managing to win thanks to {{a|Overgrow}} activating. Having been granted permission, the children searched all around Area Zero for Entei alongside Friede and Briar until it decided to appear before them in ''[[HZ081|The Pillar of Fire]]'', revealing itself to actually be a {{TP|Lucius|Gouging Fire}}. Eventually, after an intense battle, the Rising Volt Tacklers earned Gouging Fire's trust. In the [[HZ082|following episode]], the children and Friede battled once more against the Black Rayquaza after it had been summoned to Area Zero by the other heroes. After a long battle, they managed to weaken Rayquaza enough for it to go inside its Ancient Poké Ball. With the Six Heroes gathered, the Rising Volt Tacklers headed towards Laqua, guided by Rayquaza.

Dot, Liko, Roy, and Friede finally arrived at Laqua in ''[[HZ085|The Pokémon Paradise of Laqua!]]'' and were ambushed by the Explorers, who were following them for a while. Once again, Dot faced off against Chalce and was able to level the playing field by resorting to some unpredictable tactics. When Zirc and Onia arrived in ''[[HZ087|Guided by the Black Rayquaza!]]'', the young Rising Volt Tacklers were able to proceed to Laqua's previously sealed off area, where they discovered that Lucius was still alive. While Pagogo and Six Heroes gathered power to purify Laqua of Laquium, the children, alongside Amethio, Terastallized their main Pokémon in preparation for a showdown against [[Gibeon]] and the [[White Zygarde]]. The battle begun in the [[HZ088|following episode]] and was initially very one-sided, with the Order Pokémon being so powerful that they weren't able to deal notable damage even when exploiting a weakness. With a {{m|Land's Wrath}}, Zygarde defeated Crocalor and Quaxwell, and left Floragato and Ceruledge on their last legs. Refusing to give up, Floragato evolved into {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}} and, teaming up with Ceruledge, managed to knock Zygarde down. At this moment, Zygarde forfeited the battle, revealing it was actually testing the strength and resolve of Liko and her friends all along, before disassembling and abandoning Gibeon due to his actions.

In ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', Pagogo, in its {{form|Terapagos|Stellar Form}}, purified Laqua with the help of the Six Heroes. Though the situation seemed over, Spinel used some Laquium mist he had stored on the Six Heroes, causing them to go berserk, except for Rayquaza, which urged the Rising Volt Tacklers to flee the area. With [[Roy's Kilowattrel]] and [[Friede's Charizard]], the group was able to reach the Brave Olivine, but soon faced a heavy loss when Friede and his Charizard were blown off by the heavy winds, leaving their fate unknown.

Dot and the others eventually returned to Mount Pericarp to look for Friede, only to find that Exceed had the area blocked off. With Spinel framing Laqua's destruction on the Rising Volt Tacklers, the group decided to lay low and go their separate ways, with Dot returning home to her mother, where she continued making Nidothing videos.
[[File:Dot Tech Support.png|thumb|250px|Dot helping Roy from home]]
In ''[[HZ090|Eyes to the Skies Once Again, Part 1]]'', Dot contacted Roy for the first time in a year and asked him to seek out Pokémon affected by the Laquium mist. After Roy was joined by Liko on this journey, Dot remained in contact with them remotely, conveying information regarding Laquium Signs and the Black Rayquaza. In ''[[HZ096|Crash! Team Dragon Rampage!]]'', upon hearing of the Black Rayquaza's situation through Liko and Roy, Dot decided to meet up with them and Murdock in Cortondo.

Before heading to Cortondo, however, Dot was requested by Iono in ''[[HZ097|The Prankster]]'' to investigate a series of incidents where Pokémon were attacked by an unusually fast {{p|Stunfisk}} in Levincia. Noticing a pink mist surrounding the victims, Dot concluded the culprit was affected by Laquium. Later, she confronted the Stunfisk's Trainer, a boy named [[Stunner Fisk]] who deliberately pranked people to make content for his streaming channel. With the power boost provided by his [[Strong Sphere]], Stunner Fisk managed to take out Quaxwell, but was eventually defeated once Dot Terastallized Tinkatuff to strengthen its newly-learned {{m|Metal Claw}}. Afterward, Iono provided a Flying Taxi for Dot so she could go meet with Liko and the others. In the [[HZ098|following episode]], she reunited with Murdock, Liko, and Roy, met [[Ult]] in person, and joined them in their travel to meet with [[Orla]] in Galar.

In ''[[HZ099|Orla, Grounded]]'', Dot and the others visited Orla at [[Karna]]'s [[Karna's Poké Ball factory|Poké Ball factory]]. While trying to convince Orla to aid them, Dot and the group found out that Karna had been hired to manufacture parts for the Strong Spheres, oblivious to what they truly were. Due to their intervention, the Explorers members [[Indy]] and [[Rubella]] stepped in to take the order by force. In the [[HZ100|following episode]], Dot, Liko, Roy, and Ult teamed up to battle Indy and Rubella's Laquium-enhanced {{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Tauros}}. By exploiting a weakness caused by the Laquium's effect, Dot and the others emerged victorious, forcing Indy and Rubella to retreat. Later, after Orla had been convinced to fly on the airship once again, Dot and the others pitched in to help clean and repair the Brave Olivine. Once they were done, [[Mollie]], Murdock, and Ludlow arrived to join as well. To everyone else's surprise, Ult proudly stated he would be joining the Rising Volt Tacklers as their newest member. As they prepared to take off, Dot discovered a message from Friede revealing to everyone that he was alive and well, but was in hiding from the Explorers.

In [[HZ101]], Dot, Liko, Roy, and Ult met with Geeta and Clavell at Naranja Academy to discuss Laquium and how Exceed was exploiting its power for their own gain. They also talked about the same subject with [[Jacq]], who promised to do his own investigation on how Laquium affects Pokémon. Dot then reunited with Penny, who provided her a map with information about Laquium Signs across Paldea and challenged her to a [[Double Battle]], inspired by Roy and Nemona's battle. The battle took place in the [[HZ102|following episode]] and ended up in Penny's victory.

In [[HZ105]], Dot tried to stay on the Brave Olivine and away from the beach, but kept coming back because of the wild {{p|Gimmighoul}} that she and her friends encounterd before keeps controlling her into collecting [[Gimmighoul Coin|coins]] for it. However, upon seeing her Quaxwell's desire to go surfing, Dot decided to join in. While surfing, Dot saw that Gimmighoul stowed away on her board and ended up saving it from drifting away after it tried to save one of its coins when it dropped it into the ocean. Seeing that Gimmighoul wanted to become like {{p|Gholdengo}}, Dot felt a kinship with the Coin Chest Pokémon and offered to help it make its dream come true, which {{TP|Dot|Gimmighoul}} accepted, resulting in Dot adding it to her [[party|team]].

In [[HZ109]], Dot was searching for her Tinkatuff while her friends headed to an Exceed facility to search for [[Cervantis]]. Along the way, she encountered and battled against Coral and Sidian, who revealed the Rising Volt Tacklers were headed towards a trap. Dot had Quaxwell stall the Explorers while she and Gimmighoul helped Tinkatuff to forge her new hammer, helping her to evolve into {{p|Tinkaton}}. After her Evolution, Tinkaton defeated Glalie and had Coral and Sidian retreat. In the [[HZ110|next episode]], Dot met [[Hamber]] for the first time, both tracked down Cervantis's location but were attacked by Chalce. As Chalce pressured Hamber to not interfere, Dot battled Chalce alone, with Tinkaton eventually learning {{m|Gigaton Hammer}} to defeat Chalce's Medicham, causing the admin to retreat. Dot then helped free Cervantis, who revealed Spinel's experiment regarding the Super Strong Sphere on the Six Heroes. In the [[HZ111|following episode]], Dot with her group arrivied too late, as her friends and Amethio have been defeated by five of the Six Heroes. After biding farewell to Amethio, Cervantis and Hamber, Dot and the others received a call from Briar, who suggested that they come meet her at [[Blueberry Academy]]. Realizing that Blueberry Academy is a school that specializes in Pokémon battling, Dot and her friends decided it would be the perfect location to train for their next encounter with the Explorers, as Liko revealed to them that their friend Ann is there as an exchange student.

In [[HZ117]], Gimmighoul controlled [[Carmine]] into collecting coins for it which lead to Carmine chasing the Coin Chest Pokémon and Dot going after both of them. Carmine felt a little guilty for chasing Gimmighoul away before it was found in the cafeteria, to Dot's relief. Then Carmine challenged Dot to a battle with her Sinistcha in the battle, however, the two Pokemon endlessly exchanged Astonish between each other to Dot Quaxwell's exasperation before both trainers are exhausted and the battle is called off. Carmine acknowledged the fact that Dot reminded her of her brother, Kieran, to Dot's surprise.

In [[HZ119]], Dot called [[Cervantis]] whom informed her of an Exceed Museam that was actually a data center where the data on Laquium is stored and it cut off from external connections. Knowing they had no choice, but to get into the Museum personally, Dot enlisted [[Penny]] to help her, much to Penny's shock and surprise.

===Character===
[[File:Dot eyes.png|250px|thumb|left|Dot with her hair up]]
As an influencer and a video distributor, it is Nidothing's job to entertain young aspiring Trainers. Within the videos, she is seen as perky, using exaggerated teaching methods, and giving a beginner's guide to Trainers interested in starting their own {{pkmn|journey}}. However, after becoming a Pokémon Trainer herself in ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]'', Dot got a taste of Pokémon battles, which she found enjoyable. Dot also uses the experiences she gained from being a Trainer as inspiration for her videos, as seen in ''[[HZ026|Terapagos's Adventure]]'', when she attempted to make a video about [[Multi Battle]]s. In addition, Dot learns more about Pokémon and to create bonds with them, especially with her own.
[[File:Dot Liko Roy Ult.png|250px|thumb|Dot and her friends]]
As Nidothing, she always starts her videos or livestreams with the catchphrase, '''''What's up!''''' (Japanese: '''よぉーっす！''' ''Yoo-su!''). Her Japanese catchphrase is a combination of the common English slang "yo" and part of {{p|Quaxly}}'s Japanese name (Japanese: '''クワッス''' ''Kuwassu''). Outside of being a streamer, Dot seems to be reclusive and spends most of her time behind doors creating videos, and is rarely seen by the other [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] members. Rather than having herself talk to [[Roy]] and [[Liko]], she used {{TP|Dot|Quaxly}} as a messenger to communicate with them. While not necessarily shy, she is incredibly introverted and finds the other members too bothersome to interact with. However, after being touched by Liko's kindness, Dot opens up a bit, as seen in ''[[HZ008|The Door That Never Opens]]'' when she sneaked out of her room to grab the donuts [[Murdock]] made for her and Quaxly. This was shown again in the [[HZ009|next episode]], where Dot took [[Ludlow]]'s advice to the heart, as she realized that she and Liko do have some similarities, even leaving a drawing for her at her room.

Dot eventually grew to consider Liko a friend, as seen in ''[[HZ013|An Unexpected Picnic!]]'', when she was surprised that she wanted to share experiences with her by giving her and Ludlow their own picnic to enjoy on the [[Brave Olivine]]. Dot also went out of her way to look for Liko when she went missing in ''[[HZ015|Someone We Can't See! Whosawhatsit?]]'', as she left her room and the Brave Olivine to find her. At first, Dot found Roy annoying, but was intrigued that he had a rare {{i|Poké Ball}} that had a [[Black Rayquaza]] inside it. However, after teaming up with him in looking for Liko and battling against the [[Explorers]], Dot warmed up to Roy and came to see him as a friend. Dot also watched Roy's second battle against [[Friede]] in ''[[HZ017|Special Training Time!]]''. As time went on, Dot became close with Liko and Roy, as she mostly hangs out with them. Dot also has formed a friendship with Iono, who was a inspiration for her to begin her streaming career, and refers to her as (Japanese: '''ナンジャモお姉さん''' ''Big sister Nanjyamo'').
[[File:HZ049.png|250px|thumb|left|Dot's discomfort of cameras]]
Dot tends to get easily nervous or anxious on a tight schedule, or frustrated when she sees a comment on one of her videos she doesn't like. Dot is also shown to grow increasingly afraid and conflicted about any of her fans finding out that she's Nidothing. However, Dot does show guilt for her unwelcoming attitude towards others, deciding to read Liko's comment as Nidothing during said livestream to make up for turning her down. Despite not wanting others to know the truth, Dot does bring herself to make an attempt to confess to Liko that she is Nidothing after gradually warming up to her, as seen in ''[[HZ011|Arboliva's Forest]]''. However, after being encouraged by Quaxly, Dot fully tells Liko the truth about being Nidothing in ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]''. Dot even told Roy that she is Nidothing, as she came to trust him to know the truth about her influencer and a video distributor identity. In ''[[HZ049|Dot and Nidothing]]'', Dot is shown to have some discomfort with being around cameras when she is not in her Nidothing costume, which cause her to freeze while trying to retrieve it from {{p|Varoom}}. Afterwards, the encouragement from Quaxly helped rid of her uneasiness of cameras from others.

Dot dislikes being misled, as seen in ''[[HZ015|Someone We Can't See! Whosawhatsit?]]'', when she found out that the information she got about Liko's whereabouts was false. This was shown again in ''[[HZ027|As Long as I'm with My Friends]]'', when she got misled in getting information about the Black Rayquaza. Although she still spends most of her time in her room, Dot seems to be more open in leaving it and interacting with others. Dot also seems to be comfortable in letting Liko and Roy in her room. In addition, Dot seems to be interacting with the rest of her teammates and Murdock. However, after returning from her [[Tera Training]] with Liko and Roy, Dot doesn't spend a lot of time in her room and is much more interactive, even joining the team meetings in person instead of using her Rotom Phone, as seen in ''[[HZ076|Wynaut?! Wy-Yes!]]''.

She appears to be tomboyish in appearance. In Japanese, she uses the {{wp|Japanese pronouns|first-person personal pronoun}} {{tt|僕|ぼく}} ''boku'', a pronoun which is primarily used by males; when used by females, it is associated with tomboys. Dot is a fan of a Monthly Occulture book series, as shown in ''[[HZ056|Liko vs. Rika! Towards the Battle's End]]''. This was shown again in ''[[HZ076|Wynaut?! Wy-Yes!]]'', when Dot became excited to meet a journalist for the Occulture book series in former Rising Volt Tackler member [[Wy-Yes]].

Dot appears to have enjoyment for eating sweets, even coming to like Murdock's treats. Also, Dot and her friends take the time to try the popular sweets spot in various town they visit. Although, despite her sweet tooth, Dot has come to enjoy in trying various other foods.

After the Rising Volt Tacklers disbanded following both the loss of Friede and being framed by [[Spinel]] for the Explorers' actions, Dot has gone back to spending her time in her room at home. However, unlike before Liko and Roy came into her life, Dot misses being out and traveling. Part of the reason she is still in her room is her work on making Nidothing videos and helping her best friends find Laquium signs. Despite this, Dot is much more ready to jump into action, as seen in ''[[HZ096|Crash! Team Dragon Rampage!]]'', when she decided to meet up with Liko, Roy, and Murdock in person in Paldea. Like Roy, Dot finds [[Ult]] annoying but comes to respect him as both a good friend and a Trainer.

Ever since the Rising Volt Tacklers reformed in ''[[HZ100|We Are the Rising Volt Tacklers!]]'', Dot works with Liko, Roy, and [[Captain Pikachu]] in making decisions during Friede's absences, as she and the rest of her teammates find out that he is still alive but in hiding from the Explores. Dot also helps with the team's finances, as seen in [[HZ103]], when she and Iono did a collaboration event to raise funds for their travels.

===Pokémon===
[[File:Dot team.png|thumb|250px|Dot's current [[party]]]]
Dot's team consists of Pokémon who are outgoing and enjoy doing various activities: [[Dot's Quaxwell|Quaxwell]] is easygoing, [[Dot's Tinkaton|Tinkaton]] has determination, and [[Dot's Gimmighoul|Gimmighoul]] has the ability to control those around it into collecting [[Gimmighoul Coin|coins]] for it, which is the opposite of their Trainer. Also, Dot's Pokémon have been a good influence on their Trainer, as they inspired her to be friendly, determined, and strive for her ambitions. Her Quaxwell and Tinkaton participate in her Nidothing videos, even when they were in their first stages.

Furthermore, her Pokémon seemed to take on a particular role on the team as they developed: Quaxwell is the main {{pkmn|battle|battler}}, Tinkaton is the secondary battler, and Gimmighoul is the supporter. Dot's Pokémon share a close bond with each other and act like siblings.

===Nidothing's videos===
[[File:Dot Chimecho Research.png|250px|thumb|Dot making external recordings for her channel]]
In some episodes, Nidothing replaces the role of the [[narrator]] from previous series, explaining some concepts of the [[Pokémon world]]. In ''[[HZ049|Dot and Nidothing]]'', Dot revealed that she pre-recorded several videos between the events of ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]'' and ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]''. This allowed her to still upload content while she went on a [[Pokémon journey]] with [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] to participate in the [[Tera Training]].
[[File:Nidothing doll.png|250px|left|thumb|Liko with a doll created based on Nidothing made by [[Litten Smitten]]]]
After a long hiatus, Dot began recording videos again in ''[[HZ068|Into a New Sky! The Brave Olivine!]]'', this time reintroducing her partner, {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}} after his [[Evolution]]. A year later, in ''[[HZ090|Eyes to the Skies Once Again, Part 1]]'', it was revealed that Dot was still making videos, this time warning about some cases involving Pokémon affected by [[Laquium]]. Dot's popularity as Nidothing spans across several regions of the [[Pokémon world]], with her videos being seen from [[Kanto]] to [[Paldea]] and with some subscribers such as [[Liko]], [[Zirc]], [[Penny]] and others.

===Main outfit===
[[File:Dot anime.png|thumb|left|x300px|Dot's first outfit]]
[[File:Dot anime 5.png|thumb|x300px|Dot's post-timeskip outfit]]
Dot's first main outfit consists of a dark purple top with a light purple and white jacket and green pants. She also wore {{p|Snorlax}} slippers. Dot wore this outfit in ''[[HZ007|Special Training with Cap!]]'' to ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]'', as well as briefly again in ''[[HZ050|Trending Terastallization! Dance, Dance, Quaxly!]]''. After returning from her [[Tera Training]] in ''[[HZ068|Into a New Sky! The Brave Olivine!]]'', Dot would wear this outfit whenever she was on the Brave Olivine. She normally wore this outfit as sleepwear while on the Brave Olivine, or at home, as shown in various episodes, and [[HZ041|''A Wild Mom Appears!'']].

Dot started wearing her second main outfit in ''[[HZ047|Put Your Heart Into It!]]'' to ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', it consists of a blue, green and purple jacket with dark purple pants. She also wore a pair of blue and white shoes with pink laces in the middle. She usually wore this outfit whenever she was traveling outside the Brave Olivine.

Dot began wearing her third main outfit in ''[[HZ090|Eyes to the Skies Once Again, Part 1]]''. It consists a purple jacket with light pink and white accents, with a printed pink and white logo on the right side. Behind her jacket is a white fluff appendange. She also wears light green pants, a dark purple tank top underneath (just like when she was younger), teal color shoes, white socks and has a set of cyan headphones with a loose cable around her neck. Dot's hair has grown longer and her left bang is now tucked behind her ear, revealing her left eye.

===Other outfits===
====Costumes====

==Trivia==
* Nidothing's costume resembles a {{p|Nidorina}}.
* Dot's original main appearance resembles multiple Pokémon:
** Her hairstyle resembles an {{form|Cherrim|Overcast Form}} {{p|Cherrim}} with her hair down or a Sunshine Form Cherrim with her hair up.
** Her jacket bears a resemblance to a {{Shiny}} {{p|Glameow}}.
** Her slippers resemble the face of {{p|Snorlax}}.
* Dot's second outfit was chosen by [[Mollie]].<ref>[https://x.com/anipoke_PR/status/1790940240892592151 Tweet by アニメ「ポケットモンスター」公式 (@anipoke_PR), May 16, 2024]</ref>
** The second outfit features a symbol on her left shirt pocket that resembles Nidothing’s right eye. Her third outfit has what resembles the katakana character ド ''do'' on the right side of her jacket.
*When {{Tera}}stallizing her {{tp|Dot|Quaxwell}} and {{tp|Dot|Tinkaton}}, Dot uses the phrase '''start trending, create buzz, and shine''' (Japanese: '''映えてバズって輝いちゃえ''' ''Dazzle them, go viral, and shine on!'').
* Dot's in-game [[Trainer ID number]] is 230804, the Japanese air date of ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]''.
* Dot's computer uses a {{wp|operating system}} that bears many resemblances to {{wp|Microsoft Windows}}.
* The platform that Dot releases videos on bears a heavy resemblance to [[YouTube]].
* Dot is the first supporting character to battle against a {{pkmn|Champion}}.
** She is also the first supporting character to have won against a Pokémon Champion.

* During her live streams, a slight graphical glitch is visible: the red progress bar extends beyond the [[Poké Ball]] icon.

Shiny Pokémon

2025-11-22T18:57:23Z

Pokemaster124: /* Pokémon Horizons: The Series */Added the shiny Ditto from Horizons episode 118. Remove if not allowed

[[File:Pokémon Gallery Encounter with Shining.png|300px|thumb|"Pokémon Gallery: Encounter with Shiny Pokémon" by [[Ken Sugimori]], which depicts {{ga|Ethan}} encountering a Shiny {{p|Charizard}}]]
A '''Shiny Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|色違|いろちが}}い''' ''color variation''; '''{{ruby|光|ひか}}る''' ''shining'') is a specific {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a different coloration to what is usual for its species. It is one of the many differences that a Pokémon can have within its species.

[[Form]] differences, such as that of {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}}, are not normal or Shiny variations of one another, but their individual forms can be Shiny.

==Terminology==
{{main|Terminology of Shiny Pokémon}}

They were originally called '''rare''' (Japanese: '''レア''' ''rare'') in the debug menu from {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, '''Color Pokémon''' in {{g|Stadium 2}}, and also referred to as '''Alt. Color''' in the [[Generation III]] [[easy chat system]]. The '''{{TCG|Shining Pokémon}}''' from the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}} were also introduced before the word "Shiny" was officially used in Pokémon games. Some early guidebooks also refer to them as "'''colored Pokémon'''" or "'''specially colored Pokémon'''".

The term "'''Shiny Pokémon'''" was first created by fans based on the sparkling sound effect and animation at the start of an encounter with one in the {{pkmn|games}}. Eventually, this term fell into official usage in Generation IV, used on promotional material promoting Shiny [[event Pokémon]].

Shiny Pokémon were introduced in the [[Generation II]] games. When a Shiny Pokémon appears in the wild or from its [[Poké Ball]], [[#Appearance|it is surrounded]] by a flash of stars or light, which is accompanied by a pinging sound effect.

Individual Pokémon cannot change their Shininess. A Shiny Pokémon will always be Shiny, and a regular Pokémon will never become Shiny. Upon [[Evolution]], a Pokémon retains its Shiny status; for example, a Shiny {{p|Charmander}}, if leveled up, will eventually become a Shiny {{p|Charmeleon}} and then a Shiny {{p|Charizard}}, while a regular Charmander will become a regular Charmeleon and then a regular Charizard.

An icon (seen in the table above) appears on the status screen of Shiny Pokémon in most games. In Generation II, this icon appears in the top-right corner of the screen, by the gender symbol, while in most other games, it appears in or near one of the corners of the Pokémon's image.

{{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, however, do not have any icon, instead turning the Pokémon's usually white [[Pokédex]] number into a gold one. In all core series [[Generation III]] games, the striped background of the Pokémon's image has a lighter shade when Shiny; likewise, in Generation IV and V, the color of some elements of the status screen differ for Shiny Pokémon.

===Design===
[[File:Specially colored Pokémon.png|thumb|right|250px|Early explanation about Shiny Pokémon (''[[Pokémon Gold and Silver: Complete Pokédex]]'', page 9)]]
Shiny Pokémon can differ in color from their normal counterparts very little or very much. Some Pokémon, such as {{p|Glaceon}} or {{p|Pichu}}, have a Shiny coloration only a few shades darker or lighter in color. Conversely, some Pokémon, such as {{p|Caterpie}} or {{p|Smeargle}}, have dramatic differences in color.

An [[Evolution#Evolutionary lines|evolutionary line]] is not necessarily guaranteed to have similar Shiny colorations even if their standard colorations are the same; both {{p|Ponyta}} and {{p|Rapidash}} have orange flames, but a Shiny Ponyta has blue flames while a Shiny Rapidash has gray flames (this is switched in [[Generation II]]). Sometimes, two Pokémon in an evolutionary line with different standard colorations will have the same Shiny coloration, as in the case of {{p|Skitty}} and {{p|Delcatty}}.

Little is known about how Shiny colorations are chosen. While it is often rumored that early Shiny colorations were determined algorithmically, all Pokémon's Shiny colorations are individually defined in the game data<ref>[https://github.com/pret/pokegold/blob/1521f52e37741a9220a1362443df6d0462e582d3/data/pokemon/palettes.asm Pokémon Gold Disassembly]</ref> and Pokémon with similar palettes have distinct Shiny colorations even in [[Generation II]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/DrLavaYT/status/1235549199543885825 @DrLavaYT] on Twitter</ref> [[James Turner]], who has worked as a Pokémon designer since [[Generation V]], stated that the first time he selected Shiny colorations was in [[Generation VII]], when he selected the Shiny colorations of the [[Ultra Beast]]s he designed.<ref>[https://twitter.com/JamesTurner_42/status/1091889698555875328 @JamesTurner_42] on Twitter</ref>

In the [[Game Boy]] mode of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, the sprites of both regular and Shiny Pokémon use the same shades of gray. A Shiny Pokémon can still be identified by the stars on its status screen or the animation shown when it comes into battle.

In [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|Pokémon HeartGold, SoulSilver]], {{LGPE|Let's Go, Pikachu!, Let's Go, Eevee!}}, {{pkmn|Legends: Arceus}}, {{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet|Scarlet, Violet}}, and {{pkmn|Legends: Z-A}}, a Pokémon's Shininess is visible in the overworld, though this only applies to Pokémon following the player in HeartGold and SoulSilver, and does not apply to static encounters. Additionally, in Pokémon Legends: Arceus and Pokémon Legends: Z-A, the party icon of Shiny Pokémon will depict its Shiny coloration.

===Determining Shininess===
====Generation II====
In Generation II, being Shiny is determined by a Pokémon's [[DVs]], equivalent to {{IV}}s from Generation III onward. If a Pokémon's Speed, Defense, and Special DVs are all 10, and its Attack DV is 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, 14 or 15, it will be Shiny. Because of this, a Shiny Pokémon traded to a [[Generation I]] game and then traded back to Generation II will retain its Shininess, and a Pokémon obtained in Generation I whose DVs meet the requirements for Shininess will also become Shiny when traded to Generation II.

Since the HP DV is calculated from the other four DVs, a Shiny Pokémon's HP DV will always be either 0 or 8. Shiny Pokémon are generally above average in terms of DVs, but only slightly.

The probability of a Pokémon encountered in the wild or obtained as a [[gift Pokémon|gift]], [[in-game trade]], or {{pkmn2|event}} in Generation II having its DVs line up in the above manner is 1/8192 (assuming every IV combination has the same probability, which is usually the case).

The probability differs for [[Pokémon breeding|bred]] Pokémon, as their DVs are partially influenced by their parents. Specifically, a parent passes its Special stat (plus or minus 8) and its Defense stat to its children that are the opposite gender from it. (If Ditto is one of the parents, it is always the one that passes these stats.) This means that if a Shiny parent passes its DVs to a child, the child's inherited Defense DV will always be 10, its inherited Special DV will have a 1/2 chance of being 10, its randomly generated Attack DV will have a 1/2 chance of being an appropriate value, and its randomly generated Speed DV will have 1/16 chance of being 10. This results in a 1/64 chance that such a child will be Shiny. These breeding mechanics also mean that if a child inherits its DVs from a Pokémon that does not have a Defense DV of 10 and a Special DV of 2 or 10, it cannot be Shiny.

=====Transferring from Generation I Virtual Console games=====
Pokémon transported to {{g|Bank}} from the [[Virtual Console]] releases of the Generation I games via [[Poké Transporter]] may be Shiny after being transported. Since Version 1.3 of Poké Transporter, this is determined the same way as in the Generation II games. Prior to Version 1.3, the roles of the Attack and Defense DVs were swapped, meaning that the process did not properly correspond to Generation II.

The same {{DL||quirks}} that apply to transferring Pokémon from Generation I to Generation II games also apply.

The {{p|Mew}} that were distributed to the Generation I Virtual Console games have DVs of 15 in every stat, meaning they can never be Shiny.

====Generation III onwards====
{{main|Personality value#Shininess|Personality value → Shininess}}
From [[Generation III]] onward, whether a Pokémon is Shiny depends on the Pokémon's [[Original Trainer]]'s [[ID number]] and secret ID number, as well as the Pokémon's [[personality value]]. The exact calculation is:
:<code>TrainerID '''xor''' SecretID '''xor''' PersonalityValue31..16 '''xor''' PersonalityValue15..0</code>
where the latter two values represent the highest and lowest 16 bits of the 32-bit personality value respectively.

The above formula can result in a number ranging from 0 to 65535. In Generations III to V, if this result is less than 8, then the Pokémon is Shiny, giving an overall probability of 8/65536 or 1/8192, exactly the same as in Generation II. Starting in [[Generation VI]], this threshold was increased to 16 (meaning the result must be ''less than'' 16), effectively doubling the probability from preceding generations. In [[Generation VIII]], if this result equals 0, or if the Pokémon has the [[fateful encounter]] flag set, then the Pokémon has square Shiny sparkles.

===Shiny Pokémon rates===
The table below summarizes the rates at which Shiny Pokémon can be found by the methods that will be detailed below. The [[Shiny Charm]] can directly add to the odds for most methods, with [[hidden Pokémon]] being affected uniquely.

===Shiny first partner Pokémon===
In most core series games, the first partner Pokémon appear in their regular non-Shiny forms before the player chooses one, even if the chosen first partner Pokémon turns out to be Shiny. Therefore, the player is unable to verify if a first partner Pokémon is Shiny before obtaining it.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the player is exceptionally able to check if {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, or {{p|Totodile}} are Shiny before choosing one of them as their first partner Pokémon. However, if this first partner Pokémon that appeared as Shiny is obtained by the rival {{ga|Silver}} instead, it will appear as a regular non-Shiny Pokémon for the remainder of the game. The rival's Pokémon teams are predefined in the game data, with no flag to account for a possible Shiny first partner Pokémon.

In some games from [[Pokémon X and Y]] onwards, there are some cutscenes and dialogue before the player is able to obtain the first partner Pokémon and verify if it is Shiny.

===Transformed Pokémon===
[[File:Pikachu Shiny Mew.png|thumb|right|Shiny {{p|Mew}} transformed into Pikachu in Generation II]]
These are the results of {{m|Transform}} or {{a|Imposter}} used by or on a Shiny Pokémon.

* In Generation I and II [[core series]] games (when played in [[Color palette (Generations I–II)|color]]), the transformed Pokémon retains its original color palette. For instance, Shiny {{p|Ditto}} and Shiny {{p|Mew}} are both blue Pokémon, so they will transform into blue versions of the target.
* In {{jpn|Pokémon Stadium|Japanese Pokémon Stadium}} and [[Pokémon Stadium]], the transformed Pokémon has the normal colors of the target.
* In {{g|Stadium 2}} and [[Generation III]] games (including {{g|Colosseum}} and {{Pokémon XD|XD}}), a Shiny Pokémon transforms into the Shiny version of the target Pokémon. Likewise, a non-Shiny Pokémon transforms into the non-Shiny version of the target Pokémon.
*: For instance, if a Shiny Ditto uses Transform on a non-Shiny (red) Magikarp, then Ditto becomes a Shiny (golden) Magikarp.
* From [[Generation IV]] onwards (including {{g|Battle Revolution}}), Transform copies the target's coloration; whether or not the transformed Pokémon is Shiny depends on whether the target is, not the user.
*: For instance, if any Ditto (Shiny or not) uses Transform on a non-Shiny (red) Magikarp, then Ditto becomes a non-Shiny Magikarp as well. Likewise, if any Ditto uses Transform on a Shiny (golden) Magikarp, Ditto becomes a Shiny Magikarp as well.

===Generation II===
[[File:Pokémon Day 2022 Johto Artwork.png|thumb|250px|Artwork of {{ga|Ethan}} encountering the [[Red Gyarados|red]] {{p|Gyarados}} for [[Pokémon Day]] 2022]]

====In-game Shiny Pokémon====
In Generation II, any Pokémon can be Shiny, but the game includes a [[red Gyarados]] that the player must encounter at the [[Lake of Rage]] during the course of the story. In {{game|Crystal}}, the [[Odd Egg]] also has a high chance of hatching a Shiny Pokémon: 50% in Japanese games, and 14% in all other languages. {{fact}}

====Quirks====
Pokémon that are transferred from [[Generation I]] games may also be Shiny, depending on their DVs. Due to correlations between [[Pseudorandom number generation|pseudorandom numbers]] in the Generation I games, Pokémon encountered in those games in [[tall grass]], on [[cave tile]]s, or by {{m|Surf}}ing on [[water tile|water]] cannot have a set of DVs that would allow them to be Shiny in Generation II. [[Fishing]] encounters, [[gift Pokémon]] (including from [[Pokémon Stadium]]), stationary Pokémon (such as {{p|Snorlax}} and {{p|Mewtwo}}), and [[in-game trade]]s can have any set of DVs, so they always have the same 1/8192 chance of having a Shiny DV combination.<ref>[http://wiki.pokemonspeedruns.com/index.php?title=Pokémon_Red/Blue_Wild_DVs Pokémon Red/Blue Wild DVs]</ref>

Due to Shininess being determined by DVs, certain oddities arise in other things that are also determined by DVs in Generation II:
* It is impossible to have a Shiny {{cat|Pokémon with a gender ratio of seven males to one female}} that is female in those games, as the highest Attack DV a female Pokémon with a gender ratio of seven males to one female can have is 1, while the lowest Attack DV a Shiny Pokémon can have is 2.
**In v1.2 of [[Poké Transporter]], when transferring Pokémon from [[Generation I]], [[gender]] was determined randomly<ref>https://twitter.com/SciresM/status/824147081698967555</ref> instead of being determined by the Attack DV. As a result, prior to v1.3, it was possible for Transporter to generate "1 ♀ : 7 ♂" [[List of Pokémon by gender ratio#1 ♀ : 7 ♂|gender ratio]] Pokémon as both Female and Shiny.
* Only Unown I and V can be Shiny.
* A Shiny Pokémon's Hidden Power type in Generation II can only be either {{t|Grass}} or {{t|Dragon}}, with a power of either 49 or 69.
* In {{g|Stadium 2}}, Shiny Smeargle can only have pattern ID of 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 or 8.
* As Generation II does not allow two Pokémon to breed if they have the same Defense DVs, two Shiny Pokémon can never breed in Generation II.
* Each [[non-player character]] has a certain set of DVs shared by all of their Pokémon. Therefore, it would be technically possible for a NPC to have a team entirely consisting of Shiny Pokémon, but they cannot have a team with some Shiny and some non-Shiny Pokémon.

====Shiny Ditto glitch====
{{main|Transform glitches#Shiny Ditto glitch|Shiny Ditto glitch}}

In Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}, it is possible to use {{DL|Transform glitches|Shiny Ditto glitch|a glitch}} to catch a Shiny {{p|Ditto}}. If a wild Pokémon uses {{m|Transform}} twice (that is, transforms again while already transformed), when caught it will be a Ditto with the same DVs as the penultimate Pokémon it transformed into. This can be used to copy the DVs of a Shiny Pokémon owned by the player.

===Generation III===
====In-game Shiny Pokémon====
In [[Generation III]], some Shiny Pokémon appear on NPCs' teams. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, three Trainers in the [[Trainer Tower]] have Shiny Pokémon: the Trainer on the seventh floor in the Single Battle mode has a Shiny {{p|Meowth}}, the pair of Trainers on the first floor in the [[Double Battle]] mode have a Shiny {{p|Espeon}}, and the second Trainer on the fourth floor in the Knockout Mode has a Shiny {{p|Seaking}}. Several {{g|Battle e}} Trainers also have Pokémon which are preset as Shiny.

====Quirks====
A bug with the way Shininess is handled for Eggs can cause the Shiny status of a Pokémon hatched from an Egg to differ from the Egg hatching animation. This means that a hatched Pokémon may appear to be Shiny during the hatching animation, but actually not be, and vice versa. This happens because an Egg is initially given the [[original Trainer|OT]], [[Trainer ID number|Trainer ID]] and [[secret ID]] of the game in which it is generated, and if it is hatched in a different game, the hatched Pokémon will be given the Trainer details of that game's player; the problem originates in the fact that this update does not occur until after the cutscene of the Egg hatching, so while it may be Shiny for the player who hatched it, it may not be Shiny for the player who obtained the Egg (or vice versa). This also allows Eggs obtained from event distributions (which in Generation III were only [[List of Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation III|distributed in Japan]]) to hatch a Shiny Pokémon when they would otherwise be non-Shiny Pokémon. This bug was not fixed until [[Generation VI]].

{{p|Unown}} also has an uneven distribution of Shiny probability depending on its form. This is because {{p|Unown}}'s form is also determined by its [[personality value]]. The exact probability for any given form depends on the player's Trainer ID and Secret ID, but it can have the values 1/5120, 1/6144, 1/9216, 1/10240, or 1/18432.

===Generation IV===
[[File:Pikachu-colored Pichu sit.png|thumb|200px|[[List of event Pokémon with in-game effects#Pichu|Pikachu-colored Pichu]], a Shiny {{p|Pichu}} available via {{pkmn2|event}}]]

====In-game Shiny Pokémon====
In the [[Generation IV]] [[remake]]s of Generation II's {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the player once again must encounter a [[red Gyarados]] at the [[Lake of Rage]] during the course of the story.

[[Spiky-eared Pichu]] cannot be Shiny, although unused Shiny version of the sprite exists in the game's data.

While technically not obtained within the actual game, Pokémon caught via the [[Pokéwalker]] cannot be Shiny.<ref>[https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/past-gen-rng-research.61090/post-2634864 Pokewalker RNG Research]</ref>

====Methods of increasing Shiny rates====
Generation IV introduced the first ways to increase the chances of finding a Shiny Pokémon.

The [[Masuda method]] refers to breeding two Pokémon originating from games of different languages to increase the chances of breeding a Shiny Pokémon. Under these circumstances, the game generates up to five total personality values to attempt to find one that will be Shiny. Despite being obtainable in one's native language savefile, foreign language Pokémon obtained via [[in-game trade]]s, such as the {{DL|Foreign Pokédex entries|In Generation IV|Meister}}'s {{p|Magikarp|Foppa}} and [[Lt. Surge]]'s {{p|Pikachu|Volty}}, are treated as being from the [[language of origin]] shown by the language tag,<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20220814231524/https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1558955387369439232</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/Atrius97/status/1558988423460925440</ref> so if bred with a parent caught in the same save file,<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1558956869829492737</ref> the Masuda method will take effect.

The [[Poké Radar]] slowly improves the odds of finding a Shiny Pokémon as the player builds a chain. The odds can reach a maximum of 41/8192 (approximately 1/200) for a single patch of grass for a chain of length 40 or higher; since up to four patches of grass can shake, the total odds become approximately 1/50. If the Poké Radar forces a Pokémon to be Shiny, it constructs a semi-random personality value that will fulfill the requirement for the Pokémon to be Shiny.

====Quirks====
{{a|Cute Charm}} can make it possible for players with certain [[Trainer ID number]] and [[Secret ID]] combinations to manipulate the chance of Pokémon with specific gender ratios being Shiny to be as high as 21.34% (while making the chance lower for all other players and Pokémon with different gender ratios, while using the Ability). This is due to how Cute Charm forces a wild Pokémon to be a specific gender when it activates, which is accomplished by modifying the Pokémon's [[personality value]] to be one of an extremely limited set of values.

The bug from Generation III that can cause a Pokémon's Shiny status to differ from the hatching animation persists. This again allows Eggs obtained from event distributions (which in Generation IV were only [[List of traded event Pokémon distributions in Generation IV|distributed in Japan]]) and the {{p|Manaphy}} Egg to be Shiny after hatching.

===Generation V===
[[File:649Genesect BW anime 5.png|thumb|200px|[[Genesect Army|Red Genesect]], a Shiny {{p|Genesect}} available via {{pkmn2|event}}]]

====In-game Shiny Pokémon====
In {{B2W2}}, the player can obtain three specific Shiny Pokémon (however two version exclusive). If the player registers every non-event Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|Unova Pokédex]], they can receive a [[Permit]] that allows them to travel to the [[Nature Preserve]], where they can encounter a Shiny {{p|Haxorus}}. After defeating [[Benga]] in the [[Black Tower]]{{sup/5|B2}} or [[White Treehollow]]{{sup/5|W2}}, Benga will give the player a Shiny {{p|Gible}}{{sup/5|B2}} or Shiny {{p|Dratini}}{{sup/5|W2}}.

Starting in Generation V, Pokémon in the [[Pokédex]] will appear Shiny if the first specimen of that Pokémon encountered was Shiny (though it is possible to switch the form so that the [[Pokédex]] displays the Shiny form if it is encountered later).

Generation V introduced a mechanism preventing certain wild encounters from being encountered as Shiny; however, all such Pokémon still have Shiny sprites in their data.

The following Pokémon are prevented from being Shiny when encountered as a [[wild Pokémon]] in-game: {{p|Victini}}{{sup/5|BW}}, {{p|Reshiram}}, {{p|Zekrom}}, and the {{p|Zoroark}} encountered in [[Lostlorn Forest]]{{sup/5|BW}}. Additionally, all Pokémon encountered in [[Hidden Grotto]]s cannot be Shiny.

The following [[gift Pokémon]] are also prevented from being Shiny: {{p|Zorua}}{{sup/5|BW}}/{{p|Eevee}}{{sup/5|B2W2}} obtained in [[Castelia City]], and the {{p|Deerling}} obtained on {{rt|6|Unova}}{{sup/5|B2W2}}.

While technically not obtained within the actual games, Pokémon caught via {{g|Dream World}} or {{g|Dream Radar}} cannot be Shiny.

====Methods of increasing Shiny rates====
The Masuda method now generates up to six total personality values instead of five. This remains the case in later games.

Generation V also introduces the [[Shiny Charm]], a [[Key Item]] that increases the chances of encountering Shiny Pokémon, both in the {{pkmn2|wild}}, (including static encounters, such as {{pkmn2|Legendary|legendaries}}<ref>https://github.com/Admiral-Fish/PokeFinder/issues/17</ref>), and via {{pkmn|breeding}}. This is done by generating two extra [[personality value]]s to attempt to find one that is Shiny, effectively resulting in a tripled chance to find Shiny Pokémon compared to the base chance; from 1/8192 to approximately 3/8192 (roughly 1/2731). This stacks with most other modifiers which increase the Shiny encounter rate, such as the [[Masuda method]]. It has no effect on Pokémon obtained via NPCs as {{pkmn2|gift}}s or via [[Mystery Gift]].
====Quirks====
The bug from Generation III that can cause a Pokémon's Shiny status to differ from the hatching animation persists. This again allows Eggs obtained from event distributions to be Shiny after hatching.

===Generation VI===
[[File:0376Metagross-Mega-Shiny.png|thumb|200px|Promotional artwork of a Shiny [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{p|Metagross}}]]
[[File:094Gengar-Mega-Shiny.png|thumb|175px|Promotional artwork of a Shiny Mega {{p|Gengar}}]]

====In-game Shiny Pokémon====
[[Generation VI]] slightly changed how Shiny Pokémon are determined to double the default chances that a Pokémon will be Shiny. The basic formula remains the same, but the threshold for a Pokémon to be Shiny is now 16 instead of 8. This results in a base Shiny probability of approximately 16/65536, or 1/4096.

The following Pokémon are prevented from being Shiny when encountered as [[wild Pokémon]] in {{g|X and Y}}: the [[legendary birds]], the [[aura trio]], {{p|Mewtwo}}, and the {{p|Snorlax}} encountered on [[Kalos Route 7]]. Additionally, the gifted {{p|Lucario}} at the [[Tower of Mastery]] and [[in-game trade]] Pokémon cannot be Shiny, either.

The following Pokémon are prevented from being Shiny when encountered as [[wild Pokémon]] in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}: the [[super-ancient Pokémon]] and {{p|Deoxys}}. Additionally, the gifted [[Cosplay Pikachu]] and [[in-game trade]] Pokémon cannot be Shiny, either.

====Methods of increasing Shiny rates====
The [[Poké Radar]] returns for {{g|X and Y}}. The exact mechanics of the Poké Radar in these games are not confirmed, but the Poké Radar can still force a Pokémon in a shaking patch to be Shiny.

In X and Y's [[Friend Safari]], Shiny Pokémon are more common. The game achieves this by generating up to four extra personality values when checking if a Pokémon will be Shiny. This effect can stack with the Shiny Charm's effect.<ref>[https://github.com/wwwwwwzx/3DSRNGTool/wiki/Friend-Safari-RNG Friend Safari RNG · wwwwwwzx/3DSRNGTool Wiki · GitHub]</ref>

[[Fishing#Generation VI|Consecutive fishing]] can increase the odds of finding a Shiny Pokémon as the player builds a chain of reeled-in Pokémon by fishing from the same spot. For every Pokémon added to the chain, the game tries two extra personality values to attempt to make the Pokémon Shiny, up to a chain of 20 Pokémon, at which point the chances reach a maximum of 41/4096 or approximately 1%. This effect can stack with the Shiny Charm's effect.<ref>[http://mrnbayoh.github.io/pkmn6gen/chain_fishing_shiny/ Pokemon 6G Chain Fishing Probability Analysis]</ref>

In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, {{DL|DexNav|hidden Pokémon}} have a chance to be forced to be Shiny. Unlike most other methods that increase the odds of finding a Shiny Pokémon, this does not increase the number of personality values that the game tries, but instead executes a {{DL|DexNav|Shiny probability|custom algorithm}} to decide whether to force a Shiny personality value. In brief summary, the chances of forcing a Shiny Pokémon grow steadily from 0% at Search Level 0 to 0.06% at Search Level 100 (only surpassing the natural odds of finding a Shiny Pokémon at Search Level 41), then grows steadily to 0.08% at Search Level 200, after which the rate of growth becomes 0.01% for every 100 Search Levels. Certain factors can increase the odds further by performing the check extra times. There is a random 4% chance it will be performed four extra times; if the player has the Shiny Charm it will be performed two extra times; and if the player is encountering the 50th or 100th Pokémon in a chain of hidden Pokémon, it will be performed five or ten extra times respectively. All of these bonuses stack.<ref>[http://mrnbayoh.github.io/pkmn6gen/dexnav_shiny/ Pokemon ORAS DexNav Shiny Encounter Probability Analysis]</ref>

====In-game Shiny Pokémon====
In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, after entering the [[Hall of Fame]], {{tc|Sightseer}} Marcus appears at the [[Seafolk Village]] [[Pokémon Center]], battling the player with a Shiny {{p|Exeggcute}}.

The following Pokémon are prevented from being Shiny when encountered as [[wild Pokémon]] in Generation VII games: the [[guardian deities]], the [[light trio]], {{p|Zygarde}} in [[Resolution Cave]]{{sup/7|USUM}}, the two {{p|Wishiwashi}} encountered during the [[trial]] in [[Brooklet Hill#Brooklet Hill proper 3|Brooklet Hill]]{{sup/7|SM}}, {{p|Pinsir}} on [[Exeggutor Island]]{{sup/7|USUM}}, {{p|Bewear}} in the [[Hau'oli City#Shopping District 4|Hau'oli City Shopping District]]{{sup/7|USUM}}, the {{p|Gastly}} and {{p|Drifloon}} at the [[Trainers' School (Alola)|Trainers' School]]{{sup/7|USUM}}, the {{p|Sandygast}} on [[Alola Route 15|Route 15]]{{sup/7|USUM}}, the static encounter female {{p|Frillish}} on [[Alola Route 14|Route 14]]{{sup/7|USUM}}, and the {{p|Electrode}} found in [[Team Rocket's Castle]].

The following [[Ultra Beast]] encounters are prevented from being Shiny in Pokémon Sun and Moon, but are not prevented from being Shiny in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon: {{p|Nihilego}}, {{p|Buzzwole}}, {{p|Pheromosa}}, {{p|Xurkitree}}, {{p|Celesteela}}, {{p|Kartana}}, and {{p|Guzzlord}}.

The following [[gift Pokémon]] are also prevented from being Shiny: {{p|Cosmog}}, {{p|Magearna}}, all {{p|Zygarde}} obtained from {{rt|16|Alola}} and the [[Zygarde Cube]], and all [[Totem]]-sized Pokémon obtained on [[Heahea Beach]]{{sup/7|USUM}}.

====Methods of increasing Shiny rates====
=====Pokémon Sun and Moon=====
In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, as well as {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, as Pokémon in [[SOS Battle]]s continue calling in allies, the chance that they will be Shiny increases. At chain lengths of 11, 21, and 31, the game will check up to four extra personality values to find a Shiny Pokémon (meaning the maximum number of personality values checked will be 13 for a chain of 31 Pokémon or more). This effect can stack with the Shiny Charm's effect.<ref>[https://twitter.com/wwwwwwzx/status/947223541925126144 wwwwwwzx on Twitter]</ref>

In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, the chain length value is stored as an {{wp|8-bit computing|8-bit integer}}. As a result, the chain length will reset to 0 if the chain length exceeds 255 due to {{wp|integer overflow}}. This issue was fixed in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, allowing SOS chains of any length.

In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Pokémon encountered through the [[Ultra Warp Ride]] (excluding [[Legendary Pokémon]] and [[Ultra Beast]]s) have a chance to be forced to be Shiny. The Shininess of these Pokémon is determined when the player arrives at the [[Ultra Space Wilds]]. The probability that a Pokémon encountered this way will be Shiny depends on the rarity of the wormhole and the distance traveled.<ref>[https://twitter.com/wwwwwwzx/status/946705752265129985 wwwwwwzx on Twitter]</ref>

Note that 3-ring "blooming" wormholes will always contain Legendary Pokémon (which do not have increased odds of being Shiny), unless all Legendary Pokémon that could be encountered in that particular wormhole have already been caught.

=====Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!=====
In {{LGPE}}, Shiny Pokémon rates can be increased dramatically with catch combos and lures. However, combos past 31 will have no additional effect on shiny chance.

The [[Catch Combo]] bonus is only applied to the next Pokémon of the chained species to spawn after the prior Pokémon is captured, meaning the player must continue to catch Pokémon regardless of chain length, or the bonus will not apply to any subsequent spawns. The bonus does not apply to any Pokémon that spawn nearby that do not match the currently chained species.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20220213211628/https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1492970750264979456</ref>

With a catch combo of 31 or higher, a [[Shiny Charm]], and a [[Lure]], the next Pokémon of the chained species to spawn will have the highest shiny chance of 1/273.53.

The above three Shiny-increasing methods have no effect on [[in-game trade]]s or [[gift Pokémon]].<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonLetsGo/comments/a48ruf/shiny_chances_an_update/</ref>

===Generation VIII===
[[File:Shiny Zacian Zamazenta JP.jpg|thumb|right|Promotional artwork of a Shiny {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}} by [[Hitoshi Ariga]]<ref name=ShinyZacianZamaenta>[https://web.archive.org/web/20211022024640/https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/1451379419927355395 Tweet about the Shiny Zacian and Shiny Zamazenta event art] (posted on October 21, 2021)</ref>]]
In {{g|Sword and Shield}} and {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, [[Symbol encounter|Pokémon that appear in the overworld]] use their standard coloration, regardless of whether they are Shiny or not. They will not be revealed to be Shiny until they are encountered. [[Walking Pokémon]] assigned to follow the player in [[Isle of Armor]], [[Crown Tundra]], and {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} outdoor areas will use their correct coloration. In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Shiny Pokémon that appear in the overworld will be colored properly, play the Shiny animation and audio cue when spawning, and periodically play the Shiny animation and audio cue while roaming the overworld. An example of the audio cue can be found below:

{{Youtubevid|sKzfB5rNrpM|channel/UC_m6cRHEk_EOafZz5QXGI8A|name=Diflic|Legends Arceus|Legends Arceus}}

Beginning with Pokémon Sword and Shield, Shiny Pokémon that hatch from Eggs now have a sparkling animation displayed.

====Variants====
In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, there are two different types of Shiny Pokémon, distinguished only by the type of sparkle animation that plays when they enter battle. One type has an animation with star-shaped sparkles (similar to previous generations), while the other uses square-shaped sparkles.

{{main|#Appearance|Shiny Pokémon → Appearance}}

Like Shininess itself, the type of Shiny sparkle a Pokémon has is determined by its [[personality value]]. Ordinarily, there is a 15/16 chance of a Shiny Pokémon having a personality value that yields star sparkles, and a 1/16 chance of it having a personality value that yields square sparkles. (For Shiny Pokémon obtained in Generation III, IV, or V, due to the different Shiny rate in those games, there is instead a 7/8 chance of a Shiny Pokémon having star sparkles, and a 1/8 chance of it having square sparkles.)

However, wild encounters in Pokémon Sword and Shield have drastically different rates for each Shiny sparkle type. Shiny Pokémon encountered in the wild in Pokémon Sword and Shield have a 65521/65536 chance of having square sparkles and a 15/65536 chance of having star sparkles.<ref>https://twitter.com/SciresM/status/1197039032112304128</ref> This does not apply to Pokémon hatched from {{pkmn|Egg}}s, received as {{pkmn2|gift}}s, or encountered in [[Max Raid Battle]]s.

Shiny Pokémon obtained from [[Dynamax Adventures]] always have star sparkles. Pokémon that are guaranteed to be Shiny (i.e. from Max Raid Battles during some [[Wild Area News]] events) always have a personality value that yields square sparkles.

Additionally, starting in Pokémon Sword and Shield v1.1.0, Shiny Pokémon met in a [[fateful encounter]] or transferred from {{g|GO}} always have square sparkles, regardless of their personality value.<ref>https://twitter.com/SciresM/status/1273492861065912320</ref>

In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} and {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, these variants are not distinguishable from each other, as all Shiny Pokémon use the same entry animation with star-shaped sparkles like in previous [[generation]]s.

====In-game Shiny Pokémon====
[[File:Legends Arceus Request 19 Ponyta.png|thumb|250px|The Shiny {{p|Ponyta}} from the {{DL|Task|request}} ''A Peculiar Ponyta'' in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}]]
In Pokémon Sword and Shield, the following Pokémon are prevented from being Shiny when encountered as wild Pokémon: the {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Slowpoke}} at {{DL|Wedgehurst|Wedgehurst Station}},<ref>https://github.com/kwsch/PKHeX/blob/e7d60a88de8b89b687aae46f2ed151cc81249eb7/PKHeX.Core/Legality/Encounters/Data/Gen8/Encounters8.cs#L342</ref> the {{p|Corvisquire}} on [[Galar Route 3]],<ref>https://github.com/kwsch/PKHeX/blob/e7d60a88de8b89b687aae46f2ed151cc81249eb7/PKHeX.Core/Legality/Encounters/Data/Gen8/Encounters8.cs#L101</ref> {{p|Zacian}}, {{p|Zamazenta}}, {{p|Eternatus}}, the Galarian [[legendary birds]], {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Glastrier}}, {{p|Spectrier}}, and {{p|Calyrex}}. Additionally, all [[Gift Pokémon#Generation VIII|in-game gift Pokémon]] (except the fossil Pokémon from [[Cara Liss]]) cannot be Shiny.<ref>https://github.com/kwsch/PKHeX/blob/e7d60a88de8b89b687aae46f2ed151cc81249eb7/PKHeX.Core/Legality/Encounters/Data/Gen8/Encounters8.cs#L35-L70</ref>

Pokémon that are too high a level for the player to catch with the current [[Badge]]s (described as "very strong-looking" in-game) cannot be Shiny, except Pokémon that appear as static encounters.

In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, the following Pokémon are prevented from being Shiny: the [[Gift Pokémon#Generation VIII|gift Mew and Jirachi]] in [[Floaroma Town]] and all Pokémon available via [[in-game trade]].

In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, all {{pkmn2|Legendary}}, {{pkmn2|Mythical}}, and {{pkmn2|Gift}} Pokémon are prevented from being Shiny, as well as certain static encounters during [[Task (Legends: Arceus)#Missions|Mission]]s and [[Task (Legends: Arceus)#Requests|Request]]s, such as the three Alpha Pokémon found in [[Lake Verity]], [[Lake Valor|Valor]], and [[Lake Acuity|Acuity]]'s caves during Missions 14, 15, and 16.

In the {{DL|Task|request}} ''A Peculiar Ponyta'', the player will encounter a guaranteed Shiny {{p|Ponyta}}. Once they've calmed the first frenzied [[Noble Pokémon]], they will be able to pick up this request in [[Jubilife Village]] from Yota.

=====Max Raid Battles=====
In Pokémon Sword and Shield, whether the Pokémon currently occupying an active [[Pokémon Den]] is Shiny or not is determined when the den becomes active, and will not change if the game is reset. For dens activated with a [[Wishing Piece]], the Shiny status of the Pokémon in the den is also predetermined for every subsequent day the den remains active. The chance of encountering a Shiny Pokémon in a [[Max Raid Battle]] is not affected by the [[Shiny Charm]].

Although Pokémon encountered in Max Raid Battles can always be caught regardless of how many Badges the player has, if the Pokémon's level is too high for the number of [[Badge]]s the player has, it will be forced not to be Shiny. However, because Shiny status is determined when the Max Raid Battle spawns, if the player earns enough Badges before defeating it, the Pokémon will be Shiny upon capture even if they lacked the required Badges when it spawned.

======Wild Area News events======
Pokémon Sword and Shield has had several [[Wild Area News]] events that included Shiny Pokémon. During these events, one of the 5★ [[Max Raid Battle]] encounter slots was guaranteed to be a Shiny Pokémon. As mentioned above, these guaranteed Shiny Pokémon will always have square sparkles.

The following is a list of such events in reverse chronological order:

=====Traded Eggs=====
Unlike in previous generations, where {{pkmn|Egg}}s keep their original [[personality value]]s when traded and can potentially go from Shiny to non-Shiny or vice-versa if hatched by a player with a different [[Trainer ID number|Trainer ID]] and Secret ID, Eggs traded in [[Generation VIII]] have their personality values altered according to the hatcher's TID/SID, to ensure they retain their original Shiny status when hatched by a player other than the original owner.

====Methods of increasing Shiny rates====
=====Pokémon Sword and Shield=====
In Pokémon Sword and Shield, the number of times that the player has caught or defeated each species of Pokémon increases the chance of Pokémon of that species appearing as a [[Brilliant Pokémon]] in the overworld.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20211013174605/https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1448334955461939210</ref> This number is recorded in the player's Pokédex as "Number Battled". The number recorded increases when opponents are defeated in wild battles, Max Raid Battles, and Trainer battles (except link battles, the {{gal|Battle Tower}}, and [[Restricted Sparring]]).

The appearance rate of Brilliant Pokémon is further increased while [[Brilliant Pokémon#Fishing|chain fishing]]; depending on the length of the chain, a bonus between +2% and +25% will be added to the base appearance rate.<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1448334998474477577</ref>

Brilliant Pokémon are more likely to be Shiny depending on the "Number Battled" for that species. When determining a Brilliant Pokémon's personality value, if the Pokémon would not be Shiny the game will regenerate the personality value a number of times depending on the "Number Battled", up to a maximum of 6 times.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20211013174621/https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1448335003834851333</ref> Non-Brilliant Pokémon are not affected and do not have enhanced Shiny rates.

=====Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl=====
In the [[Grand Underground]], the Lightstone bonus<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1459147114110492676</ref> allows for 1 bonus Shiny reroll after all players in an instance of the Grand Underground collect pink sparkles left by Diglett and Dugtrio that occasionally appear at corners and intersections, that give 1 and 3 points respectively.

Accumulating 40 of these points displays the message "something good will happen", and a whistle sound will play to all players in the instance. This increases the Shiny odds for Pokémon in [[Grand Underground#Pokémon Hideaways|Hideaways]] from 1/4096 to 1/2048.25, for a period of 4 minutes. After the 4 minute period is over, a whistle will sound and the counter resets to 0, allowing Diglett and Dugtrio to appear again.

Additionally, [[Poké Radar]] chaining is available, and has [[Poké Radar#Chain Bonuses|chain bonuses]] that differ from Pokémon Diamond & Pearl, capping out at a Shiny rate of 1/99 when the player reaches a chain length of 40+.<ref name="bdsptable"/>

=====Pokémon Legends: Arceus=====
In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, completing Research Tasks to increase a Pokémon's Pokédex entry grants extra shiny rolls for that species once the entry reaches Level 10, and completing all Research Tasks for a given entry upgrades that entry to "Perfect", granting even more shiny rolls that stack with other bonus rolls.

The Shiny Charm in this game also grants 3 additional shiny rolls (instead of 2 in prior games), and is obtainable after all Pokédex entries are at Research 10.

Massive Mass Outbreaks grant 12 additional rolls, and Mass Outbreaks grant an additional 25 rolls, both of which will stack with any rolls granted from the Shiny Charm, or the player's Pokédex Research progress for that species.<ref name="twitter.com"/>

===Generation IX===
[[File:SV Shiny Lucario Event.png|thumb|250px|Promotional artwork of a Shiny {{p|Lucario}} with {{ga|Florian}}, drawn by [[Raita Kazama]]<ref name=SVLucario>[https://web.archive.org/web/20231211081957/https://twitter.com/kazamaraita/status/1734094266635550755 Kazama confirming he drew the SV Shiny Lucario Event art.]</ref>]]
In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, all {{pkmn2|wild}} Shiny Pokémon will appear as Shiny in the overworld. However, unlike those found in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, there is no audio or visual effect to alert the player to a nearby Shiny prior to being encountered and beginning a battle. Additionally, while using the {{DL|Let's Go!|Auto Battle}} feature, [[walking Pokémon]] will refuse to attack Shiny Pokémon. However, this will not happen while using the [[Synchro Machine]].

The star and square sparkle variants that appeared in {{g|Sword and Shield}} are not present in Scarlet and Violet. Pokémon that previously appeared with square sparkles, if transferred to Scarlet or Violet, will display standard star-shaped sparkles like any other Shiny Pokémon.

When multiple players join a co-op session via the [[Union Circle]], each player has a radius where Pokémon will generate around them, and the chance of a Shiny appearing, and their respective bonus Shiny rolls, are determined by the player that "caused" that Pokémon to appear. If multiple players stand near each other, one of the player's spawns will take priority. If players stand near the player hosting the Union Circle, it appears to always prioritize the host player's spawns and respective Shiny chances.

====In-game Shiny Pokémon====
{{incomplete|section|needs=More specific location info for the fixed symbol encounters that are Shiny-locked post-v1.0.1, encounter tables [https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1601990353564966915? here] for reference.}}
[[File:0384Rayquaza-Shiny.png|thumb|250px|Artwork of Shiny Rayquaza]]
In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, [[List of in-game event Pokémon in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|all static encounters]], NPC {{pkmn2|gift}}s (such as the [[first partner Pokémon]]), and NPC [[in-game trade]]s (with one exception) are coded never to appear as Shiny.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20221217013124/https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1602047739751432192</ref> Static encounters include:
*All Legendary Pokémon, including [[List of in-game event Pokémon in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet#Koraidon|Koraidon]], [[List of in-game event Pokémon in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet#Miraidon|Miraidon]], all four [[List of in-game event Pokémon in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet#Treasures of ruin|treasures of ruin]], all three of [[List of in-game event Pokémon in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet#The Loyal Three|The Loyal Three]], [[List of in-game event Pokémon in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet#Ogerpon|Ogerpon]], [[List of in-game event Pokémon in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet#Terapagos|Terapagos]], and all Legendary Pokémon encountered from speaking to [[Snacksworth]]
*[[Titan Pokémon]]
*All {{p|Gimmighoul}}
*The {{p|Lechonk}} encountered during the catching tutorial on [[Poco Path]]
*[[Artazon Gym]] Test {{p|Sunflora}}
*The interactable {{p|Tatsugiri}} at [[Casseroya Lake]] prior to the "False Dragon" Titan encounter
*[[List of in-game event Pokémon in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet#Bloodmoon Ursaluna|Bloodmoon Ursaluna]]
*[[List of in-game event Pokémon in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet#Gouging Fire|Gouging Fire]], [[List of in-game event Pokémon in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet#Raging Bolt|Raging Bolt]], [[List of in-game event Pokémon in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet#Iron Boulder|Iron Boulder]] and [[List of in-game event Pokémon in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet#Iron Crown|Iron Crown]]

There are also some fixed [[symbol encounter]]s that are only prevented from being Shiny in v1.0.1 onward, but could generate as Shiny in v1.0.0, specifically:
*The two Green Plumage Form {{p|Squawkabilly}} located on the roof of the player's house in [[Cabo Poco]]
*The {{p|Wingull}} and {{p|Fletchling}} that fly away when approached in Cabo Poco, [[Poco Path]] and [[South Province (Area One)]]
*{{p|Tarountula}} in South Province (Area One)
*{{p|Wattrel}} in [[West Province (Area Two)]] and [[East Province (Area Two)]]
*{{p|Wingull}} in [[North Province (Area Three)]].

Wild Tera Pokémon have the standard 1/4096 chance to appear as Shiny.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20221211190854/https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1601990024920444928</ref>

Due to the [[RNG]] being limited to 32-bit seeds for [[Tera Raid Battle]]s (1,046,775 possible Shiny seeds out of 4,294,967,295 possible seeds), the chance of a Shiny Pokémon appearing in a Tera Raid is 1/4103.05 rather than the typical 1/4096. A Shiny Pokémon will appear Shiny during the fight, but there is no visual or audio cue such as sparkles.

The fixed [[symbol encounter]]s listed above (also known as [[wanderer]]s), wild Tera Pokémon, and Pokémon generated in [[Tera Raid Battle]]s are all unaffected by the [[Shiny Charm]] and Sparkling Power from [[sandwich]]es, and [[Egg]]s only benefit from the Shiny Charm, but not from Sparkling Power.
* All wild Pokémon that appear in the [[Area Zero Underdepths]] are considered fixed symbol/wanderer encounters internally, and are subject to the restrictions above.<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1753874296772935729</ref>

In [[The Teal Mask]], after completing [[Ogre Oustin']] on Hard difficulty for the first time, the receptionist rewards the player with a Shiny {{p|Munchlax}}. This Munchlax has a [[Mark|Crafty Mark]] and is the maximum possible [[Size and weight variation#Generation IX|Scale]].

In [[The Indigo Disk]], [[Cyrano]] will trade a Shiny {{p|Blitzle}} to the player after he is invited to the League Club Room as a special coach.

In {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, most static encounters, {{pkmn2|Gift}} Pokémon (except fossil Pokémon), and NPC [[in-game trade]]s are coded never to appear as Shiny. However, in the [[Mission (Legends: Z-A)#Side missions|Side Mission]] ''A Shiny Mareep?'', the player will encounter a guaranteed Shiny {{p|Mareep}}. Additionally, {{tc|Champion}} Soignée of the [[Furfrou League]] battles the player with a full team of [[Furfrou]], including a Shiny Furfrou as her last Pokémon.

====Methods of increasing Shiny rates====
In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, both [[Mass Outbreak]]s and the "'''Sparkling Power'''" bonus from certain [[sandwich]]es have an effect on the chances for a Pokémon to appear as Shiny in the wild.

Outbreaks can be cleared via {{pkmn2|caught|catching}}, {{pkmn|battle|battling}}, or using the {{DL|Let's Go!|Auto Battle}} feature to forcibly despawn Pokémon, and this progress is retained even if the game is saved and exited, or if the player leaves the area. However, Pokémon that despawn if the player leaves the area, enters a town, or enters a [[Picnic]] will not deplete a mass outbreak, allowing for the player to progress to 60 cleared Pokémon, then continue respawning the mass outbreak encounters indefinitely.<ref>https://twitter.com/Atrius97/status/1593273003957055488</ref>

During multiplayer sessions via the [[Union Circle]], progress in an outbreak is shared by all players, and the outbreaks that appear will match the host player's single-player session. Any progress in a given outbreak is retained between single-player and multiplayer.

;Mass Outbreaks
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet has had several Poké Portal News events that boosted the Shiny rates of certain species of Pokémon in [[Mass outbreak]]s. During these events, the Pokémon that appeared had a flat 0.5% bonus chance of being Shiny.

===Unobtainable Shiny Pokémon===
{{main|List of unobtainable Shiny Pokémon}}
[[File:HOME0494 s.png|thumb|150px|Shiny {{p|Victini}} is an example of an unobtainable Shiny Pokémon.]]
In all [[generation]]s since Shiny Pokémon debuted, there are a few species that cannot be legitimately obtained as Shiny. These Pokémon are commonly referred to by fans as {{DL|Appendix:Fan terminology|Shiny-locked}}.

This can happen if the Pokémon is coded not to appear as Shiny in the wild or via in-game {{pkmn2|gift}}s or [[in-game trade|trades]] and if the Pokémon cannot be [[Breeding|bred]] or has never been distributed as Shiny via [[event]]s.
{{-}}

===Non-playable character's Shiny Pokémon===
[[File:ShinyIntroMinccino.png|thumb|A Shiny {{p|Minccino}} in the introduction screen]]
It is possible for all of the following NPC Pokémon to be Shiny:

==In the side series games==
===Pokémon Stadium series===
[[Pokémon Stadium]], [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], as well as the Japanese {{jpn|Pokémon Stadium}}, feature a [[Nickname#Pokémon Stadium series|nickname mechanic]] by which a non-Shiny Pokémon's {{wp|hue}} can be rotated a certain amount which causes changes in its coloration. The colors a nicknamed Pokémon has are determined by the Pokémon's nickname and the [[Original Trainer]]'s [[Trainer ID number]] and name. Conversely, a Shiny Pokémon's color palette changes can be more complex, they often also include a change to the {{wp|Colorfulness#Saturation|saturation}} and {{wp|lightness}}. Hue rotations for Shiny Pokémon can also be made outside of the range used for nickname color shifts. {{p|Weedle}}, {{p|Kakuna}}, {{p|Geodude}}, and {{p|Graveler}} all have Shiny appearances which can be mimicked by specific value combinations although they will be missing the characteristic sparkle effect. Shiny {{p|Clefairy}}, {{p|Clefable}}, {{p|Jigglypuff}}, {{p|Wigglytuff}}, {{p|Gyarados}}, {{p|Noctowl}}, {{p|Cleffa}}, and {{p|Igglybuff}} use special textures instead of shifting the colors of their default appearance. {{p|Smeargle}} also demonstrate a non-standard alternate coloration in Stadium 2, their back and tail markings can be red, green or blue depending on their [[Individual Values#Smeargle's patterns' colors|DVs]].<ref>https://docs.google.com/document/d/1u4PDIfP9VerQSQibzHPzQh5oRNBUhmEi10F4kZ2uuho/edit?usp=sharing</ref>

In Stadium 2, nicknamed Shiny Pokémon do not vary in color. This also applies to Eggs containing Shiny Pokémon as the game internally considers "EGG" to be a nickname. It is therefore possible to determine if a Pokémon is Shiny before it hatches since a Shiny Egg will always retain its default color.<ref>https://bluemoonfalls.com/pages/tools/egg-previewer</ref>

In the Ekans Hoop Hurl game in the {{g|Stadium series mini-games|Kids Club}}, there are golden Diglett that are worth extra points. In Pokémon Stadium 2 mini-games, when a compatible [[Pokémon Storage System|box]] or [[party]] Pokémon is not available from a [[Transfer Pak]] or it is disconnected, there are {{DL|Pokémon Stadium series mini-games|List of mini-games 2|color variations that it defaults to}}.

In Stadium 2, there is an option while viewing the list to exclude any non-Shiny Pokémon from the listing (i.e. ''Group Color {{ScPkmn}}''/''Cancel Color {{ScPkmn}}''). This will show Shininess, even if the player is currently viewing a [[Generation I]] cartridge in the Lab.

It is possible for [[Challenge Cup]] Pokémon to be Shiny.

===Pokémon Colosseum===
[[File:Box Colo 100 s.png|thumb|200px|Shiny {{p|Voltorb}}'s box sprite in Pokémon Colosseum.]]
{{main|List of battle glitches in Generation III#Shiny Shadow Pokémon bug|List of battle glitches in Generation III → Shiny Shadow Pokémon bug}}
In {{g|Colosseum}}, non-Shadow Pokémon obtained in the game—such as the player's initial {{p|Espeon}} or {{p|Umbreon}} and [[Duking]]'s {{p|Plusle}}—are prevented from being Shiny.

There is roughly a 1/8192 chance of a Shadow Pokémon being Shiny. When a [[Shadow Pokémon]] is first encountered, it is assigned a random [[personality value]], but the game ensures that the personality value does not cause it to be Shiny for its NPC Trainer (using that Trainer's Trainer ID and Secret ID). When the player catches the Shadow Pokémon, because it retains that same personality value but now has a different Trainer ID and Secret ID, it is possible for the Shadow Pokémon to be Shiny for the player. In subsequent encounters, the Shadow Pokémon retains the same personality value it had in the first encounter (meaning that whether it is Shiny for the player or not cannot change); however, because its NPC Trainer's Trainer ID and Secret ID can differ, it can be Shiny for its NPC Trainer in these subsequent encounters.

[[Purification]] has no effect on the Shiny status of a Pokémon: Shiny Pokémon remain Shiny, and non-Shiny Pokémon cannot become Shiny.

In Pokémon Colosseum, the color of a Shiny Pokémon can differ drastically from the core series games.
{{-}}
===Pokémon XD===
In {{Pokémon XD}}, the game ensures that all Shadow Pokémon are not Shiny by recalculating the Pokémon's [[personality value]] if it would result in a Shiny Pokémon. However, non-Shadow Pokémon (such as the initial {{p|Eevee}}, [[in-game trade]]s, [[Mt. Battle]] [[Johto first partner Pokémon]], and [[Poké Spot]] Pokémon) can be Shiny.

Like in Pokémon Colosseum, the color of a Shiny Pokémon can differ drastically from the core series games. Shiny Pokémon have a different profile icon next to their health bar than their normally-colored counterparts.

=== Pokémon Ranger series ===
In [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]], by charging up the [[Capture Styler]] before drawing {{p|Ho-Oh}}'s [[Ranger Sign]] to repeat its boss battle, the player can battle a more powerful Shiny Ho-Oh.

===My Pokémon Ranch===
[[File:MPR Photography.png|thumb|200px|Shiny {{p|Zigzagoon}}, {{p|Pikachu}}, and {{p|Bibarel}} as seen in My Pokémon Ranch]]
In [[My Pokémon Ranch]], Pokémon's Shininess is visible. [[Hayley's trades|Pokémon traded by Hayley]] cannot be Shiny. (Including {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Phione}}, which despite having variable [[personality value]]s, they both use the {{DL|Pseudorandom number generation|Alternative pseudorandom number generator (ARNG)|antishiny ARNG}} generation method which prevents them from being Shiny, the same way as Type 1 [[Wonder Card]] Pokémon and {{vg|Pokémon Ranger}}'s {{p|Manaphy}} Egg.)

In {{g|Battle Revolution}}, Shiny Pokémon have face-sprites which show their Shininess. Random Pokémon in Colosseum can be Shiny, but have the same chance of being Shiny as wild Pokémon. Similarly to Colosseum, the Shiny Pokémon can be drastically different from their core series game counterparts.

The costumes worn by the {{tc|Colosseum Leader}}s also have a 1/8192 chance to appear as Shiny, and if the Leader is encountered and defeated for the first time while wearing the Shiny variant of their outfit, it will grant the player the ability to wear that {{OBP|gear|Battle Revolution}} on their [[Battle Pass]]es.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
====Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness and Sky====
[[File:251Celebi Shiny PMD Explorers.png|thumb|200px|Shiny Celebi]]
In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}} and {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky}}, a Shiny {{mdc|Celebi|2}} is part of the story, although Shiny Pokémon are not obtainable normally in the game.
{{-}}

====Pokémon Mystery Dungeon WiiWare====
[[File:Shiny Roserade PMD BSL.png|thumb|200px|Shiny Roserade]]
:''See also: {{DL|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|Shiny Pokémon|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare) → Shiny Pokémon}}''

In the [[Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games]] for [[WiiWare]], Shiny Pokémon can be found in dungeons. Unlike the [[core series]], only 36 different species of Shiny Pokémon are obtainable. The chances of finding one in a dungeon is the same as finding one in the wild in the core series. Unlike Shiny Pokémon in the past however, the Shiny Pokémon found in these games have an added bonus: their {{DL|Stat|Belly}} stat starts at 200 as opposed to the 100 of normal Pokémon. A [[Red Gyarados]] can also be obtained at Level 30 via a {{DL|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|Pal Passwords|Pal Password}}, as a reference to the one found in the Johto-based games.
{{-}}

====Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity====
[[File:Shiny Ho-Oh PMD GTI.png|thumb|200px|Shiny Ho-Oh]]
In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}} can be uniquely encountered as a Shiny Pokémon at [[Eternal Ruins]] through a [[Legend of the Mysterious Ruins]] job request. This is a challenge boss only, so the Pokémon cannot be recruited.

This Shiny Ho-Oh has a slightly different moveset to the regular Ho-Oh that can be met (which is also an unrecruitable challenge boss). It also has a unique animation that plays before the battle begins.
{{-}}

====Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon====
[[File:Shiny Celebi PSMD.png|thumb|200px|Shiny Celebi]]
The Shiny {{mdc|Celebi|2}} from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky makes an appearance. She is rescued as part of an expedition and subsequently [[Connection Orb|connects]] with the player. She has a unique animation that plays when entering a dungeon.
{{-}}

====Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX====
[[File:Shiny Gyarados PMDDX.png|thumb|200px|Shiny Gyarados]]
:''See also: {{DL|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX|Strong foes and Shiny Pokémon|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX → Strong foes and Shiny Pokémon}}''

27 [[Mystery Dungeon]]s, once completed for the first time, will have "Strong Foe" Pokémon that spawn. These Pokémon have a higher than normal chance of being Shiny compared to the core series games. Shiny Pokémon cannot be recruited unless the Player has the [[Friend Bow]] equipped and the Shiny Pokémon's respective Camp purchased. [[Recruitment]] is still not guaranteed if these criteria are met.

Additionally, the Shiny {{mdc|Celebi|2}} from past Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games also makes a cameo appearance, and can be recruited after clearing [[Purity Forest]] and visiting [[Mystery House]]s—rare rooms that spawn in post-game dungeons—with an {{DL|Mystery House|Invitations|invitation}}.
{{-}}

===Super Smash Bros. series===
In the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series, {{SSB|Pikachu}}, {{SSB|Jigglypuff}}, {{SSB|Mewtwo}}, {{SSB|Pichu}}, {{SSB|Squirtle}}, {{SSB|Ivysaur}}, {{SSB|Charizard}}, {{SSB|Lucario}}, {{SSB|Greninja}}, and {{SSB|Incineroar}} each have several different colorations exclusive to the series.
* One of {{p|Pikachu}}'s alternate colorations is its Shiny coloration wearing {{ga|Red}}'s hat.
* One of {{p|Jigglypuff}}'s alternate colorations in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] is its Shiny coloration wearing a straw hat
* {{p|Mewtwo}} has its Shiny coloration in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]].
* {{p|Squirtle}} and {{p|Ivysaur}} both have their current Shiny colorations, but {{p|Charizard}} has its original Shiny coloration from {{game|Gold and Silver|s|Pokémon Gold/Silver}}/{{v2|Crystal}}.
* One of {{p|Incineroar}}'s alternate colorations greatly resembles its Shiny coloration

All other playable Pokémon in the series (Pichu, Lucario, Greninja) do not have their actual Shiny coloration as an alternate coloration.

===Pokémon Rumble series===
====Pokémon Rumble====
[[File:Shiny Mothim PR.png|200px|thumb|Shiny Mothim]]
In {{g|Rumble}}, Shiny Pokémon may rarely appear, starting with a 1/8192 chance when playing solo and reaching a maximum of a 1/2048 chance with four players<ref>https://x.com/lincolnlm_/status/1754040777225961862</ref>. They will always tip over when defeated. Shiny Pokémon are always given a special trait, a blue name in menus, and a star below their picture on the Collection screen. Some Shiny Pokémon can be obtained by the use of passwords.

The Pokémon that appear during the credits can be Shiny, as well.
{{-}}

====Pokémon Rumble U====
[[File:Rumble U Red Genesect Figure.png|200px|thumb|Shiny Genesect]]
In {{g|Rumble U}}, Shiny Pokémon are only obtainable through the use of {{DL|Pokémon Rumble U|passwords}} or the [[Pokémon Rumble U NFC Figures#Shiny figures|Pokémon Rumble U NFC Figures]]. As a result, only the following Pokémon can be Shiny:
* {{p|Pikachu}} (figure)

===Pokémon Conquest===
[[File:Nobunaga and Rayquaza.png|thumb|200px|Art of Nobunaga with his Shiny Rayquaza]]
A Shiny {{p|Rayquaza}} is featured in {{g|Conquest}}, sharing a Perfect Link with [[Nobunaga]], and is his Pokémon of choice during the [[Dragnor#Second battle (Infinite Tower)|final battle]] of {{DL|List of Pokémon Conquest stories|The Legend of Ransei}} (the main scenario). To obtain it on the playable version of Nobunaga, the player must obtain all other {{DL|Kingdom event|Legendary Pokémon}} (excluding {{p|Reshiram}}) and have control of [[Dragnor]] during {{DL|List of Pokémon Conquest stories|Two Heroes of Ransei}} (the final scenario).

In the core series games, {{DL|List of Wi-Fi Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation V|Nobunaga's Black Rayquaza}} was distributed over Wi-Fi for Japanese {{2v2|Black|White}} players to commemorate the release of Pokémon Conquest. The [[TCG]] also received a [[Rayquaza (BW-P Promo 144)|promo card featuring this Rayquaza]].
{{-}}

===Pokémon Shuffle===
There are 15 Shiny Pokémon, including [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] Pokémon, in {{g|Shuffle}}. Shiny Pokémon are treated as alternate forms of the standard Pokémon, sharing its [[List of Pokémon by Pokémon Shuffle list number|Pokémon list number]] but not its {{OBP|Skill|Shuffle}}, experience, level, [[Mega Evolution (Shuffle)|Mega Effect]] (where applicable), and sometimes type.

===Pokémon GO===
{{main|Shiny Pokémon (GO)}}
In {{g|GO}}, certain Pokémon species have a chance of being Shiny, with each species having its own Shiny rate. For most Pokémon, the Shiny rate is approximately 1 in 512. However, in certain [[List of events in Pokémon GO|in-game events]], the Shiny chance may be increased for certain Pokémon. For example, on [[Community Day]]s, the featured Pokémon will always have increased Shiny odds. Shiny Pokémon may be encountered through any method: randomly in the {{pkmn2|wild}}, from hatching {{pkmn|Egg}}s, by completing [[Field Research]] tasks, by winning {{OBP|Raid Battle|GO}}s, or as [[GO Battle League]] rewards. All Pokémon seen in the overworld appear non-Shiny, but when a player attempts to capture a Pokémon, it may appear as a Shiny Pokémon. Likewise, during a Raid Battle, the Raid Boss always appears non-Shiny during battle, but it may become Shiny during the bonus challenge. Shiny encounters are random for each player, meaning that if two players attempt to catch the same Pokémon, one player may encounter a Shiny Pokémon and the other may not.

===Pokémon Duel===
There are several figures that are Shiny Pokémon in [[Pokémon Duel]]. These figures are usually posed identically or near-identically to their regular Pokémon counterparts. A Shiny figure's Data Disk is always identical to the regular version's but a few have different Abilities. A Shiny figure cannot evolve or change form into a non-Shiny figure nor vice-versa. Additionally, a Shiny figure cannot be selected to be made into a {{DL|Tournament (Duel)|Golden and Silver Figures|Golden or Silver Figure}}. The following is a list of Shiny figures.

===Pokémon: Magikarp Jump===
[[File:Magikarp Jump Pattern 99.png|thumb|Gold Magikarp|100px]]
A Shiny {{p|Magikarp}}, referred to as a Gold Magikarp, is one of the possible Magikarp to fish in [[Pokémon: Magikarp Jump]]. Shiny {{p|Feebas}}, {{p|Luvdisc}} and {{p|Corsola}} may also appear in random encounter events during feeding. If the player breaks the [[Everstone]] that the Shiny {{p|Magikarp}} is holding and evolves it into a {{p|Gyarados}}, the {{p|Gyarados}} will also be Shiny.
{{-}}

===Pokémon Quest===
[[File:Shiny Tangela PQ.png|thumb|200px|Shiny Tangela]]
Shiny Pokémon are available in {{g|Quest}}, with their standard alternate color scheme. However, this only applies to the model of the Pokémon. The icon for the Pokémon will use the standard coloration. The "short detail block" for the Pokémon, seen in various menus when selecting the Pokémon (often, just above the [[Power Charm]]), includes a white star in the lower left corner.

In the [[Pokédex]], if the player has obtained a Shiny Pokémon of the species, then while viewing the details for that species the same white star will be present to the right of the species name, now enclosed in a yellow box. Tapping the Pokémon displayed will cause it to switch to the Shiny coloration. A second tap reverts the colors to normal These are not saved at any point, moving to a different Pokémon's information or closing the Pokédex resets the displayed color to normal.


The only gameplay related benefit to having a Shiny Pokémon in Pokémon Quest is that obtaining one completes the "Shiny Pokémon" Challenge Quest, which rewards 20 PM Tickets.

The exact chance of a Pokémon the player befriends being Shiny is unknown, but is estimated to be between 1/75 and 1/100. It is unknown if wild Pokémon in stages are able to be Shiny.
{{-}}

===Pokémon Masters EX===
In {{g|Masters EX}}, some of the {{mas|Egg Pokémon}} have a chance to be Shiny. Other characters would later form sync pairs with Shiny Pokémon. A Shiny {{p|Celebi}} also makes its appearance during the [[special event]]s {{DL|Special event|Double Trouble}} and {{DL|Special event|Blasting Off Again}}.

The following is a list of [[sync pair]]s with Shiny Pokémon.

===Pokémon Café ReMix===
In {{g|Café Mix}}, there was only Shiny {{p|Celebi}} available as a part of special event from December 23, 2020, to January 31, 2021. There were no new Shiny Pokémon added until the major overhaul.

In Pokémon Café ReMix, Shiny Pokémon can now be found randomly when selecting a customer. Similar to {{g|GO}}, new Shiny Pokémon are added over time, the first being Shiny {{p|Minccino}} and {{p|Eevee}}. Shiny variants are treated as separate Pokémon, although they share the same speciality (except for Celebi), skill and alternate outfits with normal variants. From January 12, 2022, the "Shuffle Customers" button now shines if there's a Shiny Pokémon in the customer pool.

Sometimes there are events called ''Welcome, Shiny Pokémon!'' that increase Shiny encounter rate for specific Pokémon, or in Shiny {{p|Rowlet}}'s case, are distributed via daily stamp during certain events. The following is a list of such events in reverse chronological order:

===Pokémon UNITE===
From February 22 to March 12, 2024, Shiny {{p|Rayquaza}} replaced the regular Rayquaza that normally appears as an objective Pokémon on [[Theia Sky Ruins]].

===Pokémon Sleep===
In [[Pokémon Sleep]], Pokémon that appear during sleep research have a small chance of being Shiny. Shiny Pokémon will always be hungry during Snack Time, and any [[biscuit]] given to it will instantly fill its friendship points to the maximum. Some [[list of events (Sleep)|events]] increase the chances of finding certain Shiny Pokémon during sleep research.

Shiny Pokémon studied will appear as Shiny in the home screen and in menus. The player can set a Shiny Pokémon as their profile icon if they have befriended a Shiny Pokémon of that species, even if the player has evolved the Shiny Pokémon of that species. Shiny Pokémon appear as such in photos and research shared with the player's research community. However, the Pokémon icon displayed next to unopened research will never appear Shiny, even if the studied Pokémon is Shiny.

Shiny Pokémon can be sent to [[Professor Neroli]] just like any other Pokémon, which is equivalent to [[release|releasing]] a Pokémon in the core series games and cannot be undone. Sending a Shiny Pokémon to the professor yields the same amount of {{sleep|candy}} as sending a non-Shiny Pokémon of that species.

===Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket===
Shiny Pokémon were introduced in the {{TCGP|Shining Revelry}} expansion of [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket]]. In Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket, Shiny Pokémon have a special [[rarity]] symbol, {{Rar/TCGP|Shiny|1}}.

The following is a list of Shiny Pokémon in Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket.

{{main|List of alternately colored Pokémon in animation}}
===''Pokémon the Series''===
[[File:Ash Noctowl sparkling.png|250px|thumb|[[Ash's Noctowl|Ash's Shiny Noctowl]] sparkling as it is sent out from its Poké Ball, similar to how Shiny Pokémon sparkle when sent into battle in the core series games]]
[[File:Jessie Dustox and Shiny Dustox.png|thumb|left|240px|Normal and Shiny Dustox in {{aniseries|DP}}]]
Although the games had not introduced alternately colored Pokémon until [[Generation II]], several Pokémon seen in {{aniseries|PTS}} beforehand were colored differently. One such example is the [[pink Butterfree]], the mate of [[Ash's Butterfree]], which appeared as early as [[EP021|the twenty-first episode]]. This is, however, not the standard alternate coloration for a {{p|Butterfree}}, and therefore may not be counted as a Shiny Pokémon. Likewise, the first appearance of a {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}} in ''[[EP205|The Kecleon Caper]]'' featured a non-standard alternately colored Pokémon, this time a purple {{p|Kecleon}}. Another example would be in ''[[SM058|Fighting Back the Tears!]]'', where a non-standard alternately colored {{p|Mareanie}} (who happens to be [[James's Mareanie]]'s first love) appears, and later evolves into a {{p|Toxapex}}.

In the [[Orange Islands]], certain Pokémon have a different coloration because the climate is different than that of the mainland. For example, a Butterfree, instead of the normal white with black markings, would have gold wings with red spots on them. On [[Pinkan Island]] of the Orange Islands, all of the Pokémon are colored pink because the [[Pinkan Berry|Pinkan Berries]] they eat make them that way.

The first true Shiny Pokémon that appeared was a {{AP|Noctowl}} in ''[[EP154|Fowl Play!]]''. {{Ash}} eventually {{pkmn2|caught}} it, and, as in the games, sparkles surround it as it comes from its {{i|Poké Ball}}. Several other Shiny Pokémon have appeared later as well, often used to make them stand out more, or be the focus of an episode. The term "Shiny" was first used in ''[[DP185|Working on a Right Move!]]''.
{{left clear}}

===''Pokémon Horizons: The Series''===
[[File:Roy Lucario sparkling.png|250px|thumb|[[Roy's Lucario|Roy's Shiny Lucario]] sparkling as it is sent out from its Poké Ball]]
In {{aniseries|HZ}}, two Shiny [[Legendary Pokémon]], [[Lucius]]'s [[Black Rayquaza]] and [[Gibeon]]'s [[White Zygarde]], play major roles in the backstory of the original [[Explorers]] and [[Laqua]]. One of [[Roy]]'s goals as a {{pkmn|Trainer}} is to catch the Black Rayquaza and earn its respect.

In ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', [[Roy]] was revealed to have obtained a Shiny {{TP|Roy|Lucario}} that is capable of [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]]. It is shown to have a yellow [[Aura]] to match its coloration.
{{right clear}}

In ''[[HZ118]]'', [[TP|Liko's Meowscarada]] found a shiny [[Ditto]] while Ditto Block hunting with [[Liko]], [[TP|Hattrem]], [[TP|Charcadet]], [[Ann]] and her pokémon.

===Pokémon Generations===
[[File:Shiny Hisuian Zorua Hisuian Snow.png|thumb|250px|A Shiny {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Zorua}} in [[Pokémon: Hisuian Snow]]]]
In ''[[PG04|The Lake of Rage]]'', the [[Red Gyarados]] appeared at the [[Lake of Rage]].

===Pokémon: Hisuian Snow===
A Shiny {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Zorua}} debuted in ''[[HIS01|Onto the Icy Blue]]'', which was befriended by [[Alec]]. In ''[[HIS03|Two Hues]]'', it was revealed to have evolved into a {{p|Zoroark}}.

===POKÉTOON===
A Shiny {{p|Hoppip}} appeared in [[PT14]], as part of a group of Hoppip, {{p|Skiploom}}, and {{p|Jumpluff}} that were causing trouble at the [[Safari Zone]].

A Shiny {{p|Charcadet}} appeared in [[PT16]]. It evolved into a Shiny {{OBP|Ceruledge|POKÉTOON}} after touching a set of [[Malicious Armor]].

===Dragonite and the Special Delivery===
[[File:Shiny Zebstrika DSD.png|thumb|left|200px|A Shiny Zebstrika in [[Dragonite and the Special Delivery]]]]
A Shiny {{p|Zebstrika}} can be seen in a herd.

==In the manga==
Because most manga series are published in {{wp|black-and-white}}, Shiny Pokémon are few and far between. One major exception, because of its importance to the plot of {{5v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, is the [[red Gyarados]].

[[File:Gyara Dragon Rage Silver Gyarados DragonBreath.png|thumb|250px|Gyara, a regular Gyarados (left) and Silver's red Gyarados (right) in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
[[File:Blake Colress Genesect.png|thumb|left|250px|A Shiny Genesect (left) and a regular Genesect (right) in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}====
In ''[[PS112|Raise the Red Gyarados]]'', {{adv|Silver}} caught a [[Silver's Gyarados|Shiny Gyarados]], the raging leader of a group of Gyarados, who had been on a rampage since [[Team Rocket]] took control of the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]] and sent out their [[Evolution]]-inducing radio waves.

{{adv|Crystal}} mentioned that she had caught a different-colored {{p|Pineco}} as part of the Pokémon sent to {{adv|Professor Oak}} in ''[[PS121|Off Course with Corsola]]''.

===={{MangaArc|Black & White}}====
A Shiny {{p|Genesect}} appeared in ''[[PS515|The Shadow Triad]]'', although it wasn't revealed to be Shiny at this time.

===={{MangaArc|Black 2 & White 2}}====
In ''[[PS546|Giant Chasm]]'', the Shiny Genesect was revealed to be owned by [[Colress]], who used it to battle [[Blake's Genesect]].

[[File:Lance Gyarados JNM.png|thumb|left|150px|The red Gyarados in {{ma|Pokémon Journeys}}]]
[[File:Slakoth EYE.png|thumb|250px|A Shiny Slakoth in [[I Can't Choose, Eevee]]]]
===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
The Red Gyarados made an appearance in ''[[PM099|Stop That Strange Sonic Sound!!]]'', where [[Team Rocket]] plotted on catching it by luring it out of hiding using sonic waves, while at the same time, {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} went fishing for it. The Red Gyarados is darker than any normal-colored Gyarados in this media.

===Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure===
In [[Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure]], [[Jō]] and his {{TP|Jō|Totodile}} befriend the [[red Gyarados]] by calming its rampage and feeding it {{Berries}}. It later appears to help Jō and [[Lance]] battle [[Ariana]] and [[Petrel]].

===Movie adaptations===
A [[Genesect Army|Red Genesect]] appeared in ''{{ma|Genesect and the Legend Awakened}}''.

A Shiny {{p|Rayquaza}} appeared in ''{{ma|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages}}''. It had the ability to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into a Mega Rayquaza.

===Pokémon Journeys===
{{main|Lance's Gyarados}}
The red Gyarados, owned by {{an|Lance}}, appeared in ''[[JNM04|Flash of the Titans!]]''. It participated in the finals of the [[World Coronation Series]] and was defeated by {{an|Leon}} and his {{TP|Leon|Charizard}}.

A Shiny {{p|Larvesta}} appeared in the [[JNM24|final chapter]] of the manga. It evolved into a {{p|Volcarona}}, which [[Goh]] collected scales from to clear his [[Project Mew]] [[Field Research|Trial Mission]].

===I Can't Choose, Eevee===
A wild Shiny Slakoth appeared in [[EYE05]], sleeping on the back of a {{p|Trevenant}}'s head.

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation III]] through [[Generation VII]] , it is possible for an {{pkmn|Egg}} to hatch Shiny on one game but not another. This is because Shininess is partially determined by the Original [[Trainer ID]] and [[Secret ID]] number. Eggs have the ID and SID of the game they were originally bred on, but change to the ID and SID of the hatcher immediately after hatching. It is this change that affects Shininess.
** Confusingly, this means that if a {{player}} hatches a traded Egg that would have been Shiny on the game it was originally bred on, it will appear Shiny on the hatching screen (since it still has the ID and SID of the original game), and then suddenly no longer be Shiny afterward (once it has obtained the ID and SID of the hatcher's game). Conversely, it is also possible for a newly hatched Egg to not appear Shiny on the hatching screen and then suddenly become Shiny afterward, if the Egg has been traded.
** While all (Generation III onward) {{pkmn2|event}} Eggs are set to prevent or force Shininess, if a player other than the one who obtained it from the event hatches the Egg, this prevention is bypassed, allowing an event Egg to hatch Shiny. This is the only way to obtain a Shiny {{p|Manaphy}} in Generation IV.
* {{B2W2}} have the most in-game event Shiny Pokémon available (excluding [[Wild Area News]]), with two.
* In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, during one of [[Jacq]]'s biology classes, he mentions "the chance of finding a Shiny Pokémon in the wild is 1 in 4000", which is an inaccurate approximation compared to the true standard chance of 1/4096.
* While most Shiny Pokémon differ at least slightly from their standard coloration, and forms that differ only in color usually also have visually distinct Shiny variants, there are several examples where this isn't the case:
** [[Pikachu in a cap]], [[Partner Pokémon (Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!)|Partner Pikachu and Eevee]], the frenzied [[Noble Pokémon]], Meteor Form {{p|Minior}}, {{p|Revavroom}}'s [[Starmobile]] forms, and Stellar Form {{p|Terapagos}} lack distinct Shiny color palettes.
*** Original and World Cap Pikachu have distict Shiny color palettes in [[Pokémon GO]] only.
** Prior to [[Generation VIII]], Sunny, Rainy, and Snowy Form {{p|Castform}} and {{p|Magearna}}'s standard form also lacked distinct Shiny color palettes.
** Minior's Core forms and {{p|Alcremie}}'s non-Gigantamax forms share a single Shiny color palette.
*** In [[Pokémon Bank]], Minior's Shiny Core forms were given a slight tint to indicate their form, which was made even more pronounced in V1.0.0 of the mobile version of [[Pokémon HOME]]. However, in the Switch version and subsequent mobile versions of HOME, as well as in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, they retain their shared Shiny color palette.
* The [[Pokéstar Studios opponents#F-00|Pokéstar Studios opponent F-00]] has unique Shiny variants for both of its forms, which are unused in the final game and can only be seen by [[cheating]]. All other opponents lack distinct Shiny color palettes in the final game.
** Most of the opponents, as well as the Prop used during filming, have unused beta sprites for their normal and Shiny variants; however, with the exception of the {{p|Smeargle}} featured in the Love and Battles series (which has the same Shiny colors as normal Smeargle), the Shiny sprites are just silhouettes.

[[File:JN084 Mega Stones.png|thumb|300px|Various Mega Stones in {{aniseries|JN}}]]

A '''Mega Stone''' (Japanese: '''メガストーン''' ''Mega Stone'') is a type of [[item]] introduced in [[Generation VI]] that, if activated with a [[Key Stone]], causes a specific {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to undergo [[Mega Evolution]]. [[Professor Sycamore]] theorizes that Mega Stones are the results of [[Evolution stone]]s being irradiated by the power of {{p|Xerneas}}{{sup/6|X}}/{{p|Yveltal}}{{sup/6|Y}}, the [[Legendary Pokémon]] of life and destruction, when [[AZ]] first used the [[ultimate weapon]].<ref>"''Let’s talk about Mega Stones briefly. My theory is that they’re special stones irradiated by the light--the energy of the Legendary Pokémon [Xerneas or Yveltal]--fired from the ultimate weapon 3,000 years ago.''" -Professor Sycamore</ref> There are 56 known Mega Stones, corresponding to 53 different Pokémon.

From [[Generation VIII]] to [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], Mega Stones (and Mega Evolution) do not appear in the [[core series]], but they do appear in other media.

During {{pkmn|battle}}, a Mega Stone can be activated while its corresponding {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} is on the field. The stone must be held by the Pokémon or, in {{LGPE}} (which do not feature [[held item]]s), be in the possession of the Pokémon's {{pkmn|Trainer}}. The Pokémon's Trainer can use their [[Key Stone]] to activate the Mega Stone at the start of a turn, causing the Pokémon to undergo [[Mega Evolution]]. Mega Stones are not consumed upon use, but only one Mega Stone use is possible per Trainer per battle. Mega Stones cannot be activated for Pokémon that have transformed into their corresponding Pokémon (either by {{m|Transform}} or {{a|Imposter}}).

As held items, Mega Stones cannot be transfered to or from their corresponding Pokémon in battle; {{m|Thief}} and {{m|Covet}} will not steal them, {{m|Knock Off}} will not remove them or cause extra damage, {{m|Trick}}, {{m|Switcheroo}}, {{m|Fling}}, and {{m|Bestow}} will fail, and {{a|Symbiosis}} will not activate. {{m|Embargo}}, {{m|Magic Room}}, and {{a|Klutz}} also do not prevent the use of Mega Stones.

During a {{pkmn|Contest|Contest Spectacular}}, if a Mega Stone is being held by its corresponding Pokémon, the Pokémon's {{pkmn|Coordinator}} will activate it automatically if the Pokémon performs a [[Spectacular Talent]].

===Acquisition===
====Generation VI====
=====X and Y=====
[[File:Kalos Mega Stone Locations.png|thumb|250px|A map depicting the locations of Mega Stones in Kalos]]
Some Mega Stones are given or sold to the player by NPCs. Most others can be found in various locations around [[Kalos]], appearing as sparkles on the ground rather than [[item ball]]s. These can only be found after [[Professor Sycamore]] upgrades the player's [[Mega Ring]] in [[Anistar City]], which only happens after the player defeats their [[rival]] in [[Kiloude City]]. These Mega Stones also only appear from <time datetime="20:00:00">{{#time:H:i|20:00:00}}</time> to <time datetime="20:59:59>{{#time:H:i|20:59:59}}</time>, while the Anistar Sundial is active. Some Mega Stones are exclusive to each game.

The Blazikenite, Latiasite, and Latiosite are only obtainable via [[trade]]. However, the former was also an [[event item]]. Mega Stones introduced in {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} are unobtainable.

=====Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire=====
Some Mega Stones are only obtainable by meeting certain requirements, such as defeating [[Lisia]] in a [[Rank (Contest)|Master Rank]] Contest Spectacular to receive the Lucarionite from {{ga|Chaz}}, or receiving the Garchompite from [[Aarune]] after reaching the [[Super-Secret Base]] Platinum Rank. However, most Mega Stones appear around [[Hoenn]] as sparkles on the ground, much like in {{pkmn|X and Y}}. Many of these only appear after the player defeats or captures {{p|Groudon|Primal Groudon}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Kyogre|Primal Kyogre}}{{sup/6|AS}}.

The Diancite is unobtainable through normal gameplay; instead, it can be received from an NPC in any [[Pokémon Center]] if the player has a {{p|Diancie}}—an [[event Pokémon]]—in their party.

Pokémon holding Mega Stones introduced in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire (except the Latiasite and Latiosite) cannot be traded to X and Y.

====Generation VII====
=====Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon=====
No Mega Stones are received before the player becomes {{pkmn|Champion}}. The player receives an Alakazite, along with a Key Stone, from [[Dexio]] after defeating him at [[Ancient Poni Path]]{{sup/7|SM}} or [[Poni Plains]]{{sup/7|USUM}}. The Kanto {{pkmn2|first partner}}s' Mega Stones can be received by defeating {{ga|Red}}{{sup/7|SMUSUM}} or {{ga|Blue}}{{sup/7|USUM}} in a challenge at the [[Battle Tree]]. Many Mega Stones (including the Alakazite) can be purchased at the Battle Tree for 64[[Battle Point|BP]] each. In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon}}, only the Mega Stones for Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number in Pokémon Sun and Moon|Alola Pokédex]] can be purchased. In {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, all Mega Stones except the Kanto first partners' and the Diancite can be purchased.

In Sun and Moon, the remaining Mega Stones are only obtainable via trade. However, they were all also event items. They were distributed via [[List of other event distributions in Generation VII|universal serial code]]s provided on the official Pokémon website, which were usable in all [[software region]]s but expired on <time datetime="2017-10-31 23:59:59">{{#dateformat:2017-10-31|mdy}} at {{#time:H:i T|23:59:59}}</time>. Some were also distributed via unique serial codes to players who participated in certain [[List of Online Competitions (Generation VII)|Online Competitions]] on the [[Pokémon Global Link]].

In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, the Diancite can be received from a {{tc|Collector}} at [[Olivia]]'s {{DL|Konikoni City|jewelry store}} in [[Konikoni City]] upon showing him a Diancie.

=====Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!=====
Only the Mega Stones for Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto Pokédex]] are obtainable. The player receives the Kanto {{pkmn2|first partner}}s' Mega Stones, along with a Key Stone, from Blue at the [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|Oak Pokémon Research Lab]] after obtaining seven [[Badge]]s. {{p|Mewtwo}}'s Mega Stones can be received from {{ga|Green}} after defeating her in [[Cerulean Cave]]. The remaining Kanto Pokémon Mega Stones can be purchased from a {{tc|Poké Maniac}} at [[Indigo Plateau]] for {{pdollar}}30,000 each after the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]].

====Generation IX====
=====Legends: Z-A=====
In {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, Mega Stones will be obtainable again and can be held by the Trainer's Pokémon.

Mega Stones will be received by numerous methods. The Gardevoirite will be given away through the game's [[Mystery Gift]]. Mega Stones related to defeated [[Rogue Mega Evolution]]s will be given out as a reward for the respective Pokémon. The Greninjite, Delphoxite, and Chestnaughtite are to be given out as rewards for participation in online ranked matches.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Shuffle===
{{main|Mega Evolution (Shuffle)#Acquiring Mega Stones|Mega Evolution (Shuffle) → Acquiring Mega Stones}}
Before a Pokémon's Mega Evolution can be used in Pokémon Shuffle, its respective Mega Stone must be obtained (or in {{p|Rayquaza}}'s case, the [[File:Meteorite Shuffle.png|link=]] [[Meteorite]]). Methods to obtain a Mega Stone include:
* Defeating a Pokémon's Mega-Evolved form in a {{pkmn|Trainer}} battle, usually at the end of each {{DL|Stage (Shuffle)|Main stage|main stage zone}}.
* Completing certain objectives on [[Mission Card]]s.
* Reaching certain {{OBP|Trainer rank|Shuffle}}s by catching several different species of Pokémon.
* Achieving a high rank in a [[competitive stage]].
* Clearing certain milestone stages in an [[escalation battle]].
Having a Mega Stone allows the player to view all the Pokémon that can use it to Mega Evolve from the [[List of Pokémon by Pokémon Shuffle list number|Pokémon List]], though their icon is faded and their [[type]], attack power, and {{OBP|Skill|Shuffle}} are not visible.

===[[Pokémon Rumble World]]===
The player gains the ability to Mega Evolve their Pokémon after completing the challenge "Raid of the Mighty General", then receiving the Special Stone Shop and a Mega Key from the rewards section of the ordinary shop. [[Mega Stone]]s for currently owned Pokémon can be bought and immediately attached to its corresponding Pokémon using the Special Stone Shop. The first Mega Stone of the player's choice is free (unless either the [[Red Orb|Red]] or [[Blue Orb]] is chosen instead) and every one after it costs 5 Poké Diamonds. During battle, Mega Evolution can be performed by tapping the Mega Evolution button using a Pokémon equipped with a Mega Stone in battle. Mega Evolution can be used again on any Pokémon in the same battle, unlike in the main games.

Mega-Evolved Pokémon revert after a completed trip, or when they are defeated or switched out. Mega Evolving will send out a shockwave that damages enemy Pokémon. This shockwave is capable of defeating and tipping over opposing Pokémon. Additionally, it also resets any negative status conditions or status changes the Pokémon had before Mega Evolving.

===[[Pokémon UNITE]]===
When using a Pokémon with a [[Unite license]] that allows it to Mega Evolve, that Pokémon's respective Mega Stone is forced to be used as a held item and cannot be removed. This Mega Stone is automatically obtained and applied to the Pokémon when obtaining the Unite license and cannot be used on any other Pokémon.

==In animation==
[[File:Siebold Blastoise.png|thumb|250px|[[Siebold]]'s {{p|Blastoise}} wearing its [[Blastoisinite]] in {{aniseries|XY}}]]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
In {{aniseries|XY}}, Pokémon wear Mega Stones using equipment similar to that which their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s use to hold their [[Key Stone]]s. The equipment disappears while the Pokémon is in its Mega Evolved state. In {{aniseries|SM}}, Mega Stones appear to be merged with the body of their holders and only appear whenever the Mega Evolution process is triggered. In {{aniseries|JN}}, Mega Stones descend in front of the holder seemingly out of nowhere once the process starts.

===={{aniseries|XY}}====
Mega Stones were first mentioned in ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'', where {{an|Professor Sycamore}} told {{Ash}} that a "special stone" is required to trigger Mega Evolution, referring to Mega Stones.

Mega Stones made their physical debut in ''[[XYS01|Mega Evolution Special I]]''. The Mega Stones seen were [[Alain]]'s [[Charizardite X]], [[Astrid]]'s [[Absolite]], [[Remo]]'s [[Garchompite]], [[Siebold]]'s [[Blastoisinite]], and a [[Gyaradosite]] found by Alain from a set of ancient ruins. In addition, a [[Lucarionite]] was seen in a painting featuring the first-ever Mega Evolution, which was shown to Alain by Professor Sycamore in a flashback. Astrid's Absolite made a brief reappearance during the opening credits of ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''.

[[Diantha's Gardevoir]]'s [[Gardevoirite]] debuted in ''[[XY028|The Bonds of Evolution!]]''. The Embrace Pokémon was shown carrying its Mega Stone in a necklace around its neck.

In ''[[XY031|The Cave of Trials!]]'', a Lucarionite was found by {{an|Korrina}} in a cave near [[Geosenge Town]]. After battling a {{p|Blaziken}} guarding the Lucarionite—which was afterward revealed to belong to Korrina's grandfather, [[Gurkinn]]—Korrina obtained the Mega Stone and used it to Mega Evolve her {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}}. The uncut Lucarionite was later set in an armband by [[McGinty]], allowing Lucario to wear the Mega Stone. It retained it during its return in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''.

In ''[[XY032|The Aura Storm!]]'', Gurkinn was revealed to own a Lucarionite. Much like Korrina's Lucario, Gurkinn's Lucario also wears its Lucarionite in an armband on its left wrist.

In ''[[XY034|The Bonds of Mega Evolution!]]'', a [[Mawilite]] was worn by [[Mabel]]'s {{p|Mawile}} in a piece of jewelry placed at the foot of its head jaws.

In ''[[XY043|Origins of Mega Evolution!]]'', a Lucarionite was featured in a story told by Gurkinn depicting the first known Mega Evolution.

In ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', {{Steven}}'s {{Shiny}} {{TP|Steven|Metagross}} wore a [[Metagrossite]] as a large bracelet on its right foreleg. An [[Ampharosite]] was also seen in a flashback in the same episode, having been found by [[Lysandre]] before Alain could get his hands on it.

In ''[[XY068|Garchomp's Mega Bond!]]'', [[Professor Sycamore's Garchomp]] wears a Garchompite as a choker around her neck.

Several different Mega Stones appeared in ''[[XYS04|Mega Evolution Special IV]]''. The Mega Stones seen included a [[Venusaurite]] attached to the tree on a {{p|Venusaur}}'s back; an [[Alakazite]] tied onto one of {{p|Alakazam}}'s spoons; and [[Malva]]'s [[Houndoominite]], which is attached to a collar her {{p|Houndoom}} wears around its neck.

In ''[[XY096|A Giga Battle with Mega Results!]]'', a [[Nurse Joy]] with an {{TP|Nurse Joy|Audino}} found an [[Audinite]]. She later used it and Professor Sycamore's Key Stone to Mega Evolve Audino.

In ''[[XY122|A Real Icebreaker!]]'', an [[Abomasite]] was worn by [[Wulfric]]'s {{p|Abomasnow}}. The Frost Tree Pokémon wears its Mega Stone on its chest, revealing it only when it is about to Mega Evolve.

In ''[[XY125|A League of His Own!]]'', a [[Charizardite Y]] was worn by {{an|Trevor}}'s {{TP|Trevor|Charizard}} in a ring around its tail.

In ''[[XY126|Valuable Experience for All!]]'', a [[Sceptilite]] was worn by [[Sawyer]]'s {{TP|Sawyer|Sceptile}} on a bandanna that is tied around its neck.

In ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'', [[Kimia]]'s Shiny Gardevoir has a Gardevoirite in a necklace around its neck, which looks exactly like the necklace that Diantha's Gardevoir has.

In ''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]'', a Gyaradosite was worn by [[Lysandre]]'s Shiny {{p|Gyarados}} around its neck in a holder similar to the one Alain's Charizard keeps its Charizardite X in. It is unknown whether this is the same Gyaradosite that Alain found in ''Mega Evolution Special I'', or a different one.

===={{aniseries|SM}}====
[[File:Steelixite anime.png|thumb|250px|[[Brock's Steelix]]'s [[Steelixite]] appearing as it Mega Evolves in {{aniseries|SM}}]]
In ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', [[Brock's Steelix]] and [[Misty's Gyarados]] wore a [[Steelixite]] and a Gyaradosite, respectively. They were used in their respective battles.

In ''[[SM089|The Prism Between Light and Darkness!]]'', [[Team Rocket]] Elite Officer [[Gozu]] was revealed to own an [[Aggronite]].

In ''[[SM130|Battling Besties!]]'', a [[Kangaskhanite]] was used by [[Ilima]] during his [[Manalo Conference]] battle against [[Guzma]].

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
In ''[[JN084|An Adventure of Mega Proportions!]]'', Ash found and obtained a Lucarionite for his {{AP|Lucario}} at [[Mega Island]]. In the same episode, Gurkinn's explanation about Mega Evolution featured a Venusaurite, an Abomasite, a Gyaradosite, a [[Slowbronite]], and a [[Cameruptite]].

In ''[[JN104|Taking Two For The Team!]]'', an [[Altarianite]] was worn and used by [[Drasna]]'s {{p|Altaria}}.

In ''[[JN105|Reuniting for the First Time!]]'', another Altarianite was worn and used by [[Lisia]]'s Altaria, Ali.

In ''[[JN115|Curtain Up! Fight the Fights!]]'', Alain was revealed to have acquired a new Charizardite X for his Charizard.

In ''[[JN117|The Fiery Road to Mastership!]]'', {{an|Cynthia}} was revealed to own a Garchompite, which her {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} uses to Mega Evolve.

[[File:Sablenite anime.png|thumb|250px|[[Ult]]'s {{p|Sableye}} using its [[Sablenite]] in {{aniseries|HZ}}]]
===''Pokémon Horizons: The Series''===
In {{aniseries|HZ}}, Mega Stones descend in front of the holder seemingly out of nowhere once the process starts. Mega Stones made their debut in [[HZ090]], where a [[Lucarionite]] and [[Sablenite]] appeared when [[Roy]] and [[Ult]] Mega Evolved their {{TP|Roy|Lucario}} and {{p|Sableye}}, respectively.

A {{p|Dragonite}}'s Mega Stone appeared in [[HZ107]] when Ult Mega Evolved his Dragonite for the first time.
{{-}}

===Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Mega Stone PO.png|thumb|250px|A Charizardite X (left) and a Key Stone (right) in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
In ''[[PO02|File 2: Cubone]]'', [[Mr. Fuji]] gave {{OBP|Red|Origins}} a Mega Stone and a Key Stone, although he did not tell Red what they truly were, merely saying that he would find out soon enough.

In ''[[PO04|File 4: Charizard]]'', during Red's battle against {{p|Mewtwo}}, one of the stones was revealed to be a [[Charizardite X]] that came from Kalos. Together, it and the Key Stone triggered [[Red's Charizard]]'s Mega Evolution, allowing it to Mega Evolve into Mega Charizard X and weaken Mewtwo enough to be caught by Red.
{{-}}

===Pokémon Evolutions===
[[File:Green items Evolutions.png|thumb|250px|Mewtwo's Mega Stones in [[Pokémon Evolutions]]]]
In ''[[PE08|The Discovery]]'', {{ga|Green}} was shown to be in possession of a [[Mewtwonite X]], a [[Mewtwonite Y]], and a [[Blastoisinite]]. She used the last one to Mega Evolve her {{p|Blastoise}} during her battle against {{ga|Elaine}}, and ended up giving the first two to her after being defeated by her.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Kangaskhanite Adventures.png|thumb|250px|A [[Kangaskhanite]] in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===={{MangaArc|X & Y}}====
Due to Mega Evolution being a relatively unknown phenomenon, the Mega Stone concept gradually developed. {{adv|Trevor}} was not aware of the Mega Stone that {{adv|X}}'s [[Kanga and Li'l Kanga|Kanga]] possessed until ''[[PS552|They Have a Flare for a Li'l Kanga-Napping]]'', when he found it in Kanga's pouch. In ''[[PS558|What Does Charmander Do When It Dozes]]'', Trevor and X proved that Kanga's Mega Stone had no effect when taken out of Kanga's pouch and placed with X's [[Marisso|Chespin]]. In ''[[PS566|Overthrowing a Tyrunt]]'', Trevor and X became aware of different Mega Stones and their names when the {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}} they were fighting mentioned the Kangaskhanite and Manectite explicitly. Trevor and X combined their skills to defeat the grunt in battle and steal a list of Mega Stones that he had supposedly compiled.

* [[Korrina]]'s {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} possesses a Lucarionite, allowing him to Mega Evolve into Mega Lucario.
* [[Gurkinn]]'s {{p|Heracross}} wears his Heracronite around his horn.
* [[Diantha]]'s {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}} wears its Gardevoirite around its head.
* [[Lysandre]]'s Gyarados possesses a Gyaradosite, which a Team Flare grunt successfully dispatched to [[Malva]].
* X's [[Élec]] possesses a Manectite, which is kept in a patch of fur on his chest. Élec was motivated to seek his Mega Stone after witnessing Kanga and Li'l Kanga Mega Evolve during a battle in the [[Lumiose Gym|Prism Tower]].
* X's {{p|Gengar|Garma}} possesses a Gengarite, which is kept in a patch of fur under his jaw.
* {{adv|Tierno}} and {{adv|Shauna}} found multiple Mega Stones while looking for a Pinsirite and Absolite for X's {{p|Pinsir|Rute}} and Y's {{p|Absol|Solsol}}. After some searching, they successfully found the correct Mega Stones and gave them to X and Y.
* X's [[Salamè]] possesses a Charizardite X, which he keeps on the tip of his tail, hidden inside of the tail's flame. {{adv|Blue}}'s {{TP|Blue|Charizard}} possesses a Charizardite Y, which is also kept hidden inside of the flame on the tip of his tail. Both Charizard combined in their respective Mega Evolutions to defeat [[Xerosic]], who claimed that Team Flare found no proof that a Charizard Mega Evolves, let alone into two different forms.
* {{adv|Blaine}} possesses both a Mewtwonite Y and Mewtwonite X, which he can use to Mega Evolve {{adv|Mewtwo}} into either of its Mega Evolutions.

===={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}====
The Mega Stones appear or are mentioned in the following chapters:

* In ''[[PS597|Latias Flies]]'', {{adv|Eon duo|Latios}} revealed that he and Latias have obtained their respective Mega Stones.
* In ''[[PS598|Claydol Unleashes]]'', it was revealed that {{Steven}} had already found the Mega Stones for [[Chic|Blaziken]], [[Mumu|Swampert]], and {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}} for {{adv|Sapphire}}, {{adv|Ruby}}, and {{adv|Emerald}}, respectively.
* In ''[[PS599|Salamence Evolves]]'', [[Zinnia]] used her Salamencite to Mega Evolve her {{TP|Zinnia|Salamence}} during a battle against Ruby. Using Latios's Latiosite, Ruby Mega Evolved the Eon Pokémon into Mega Latios and defeated Mega Salamence.
* In ''[[PS607|Blastoise Transforms]]'', {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Green}} were revealed to have respectively obtained the Venusaurite and Blastoisinite, sometime before following [[Maxie]] and [[Archie]], who had obtained the Cameruptite and Sharpedonite, respectively. The two pairs of Trainers used the Mega Stones with their respective Pokémon to battle each other.
* In [[PS616]], {{adv|Giovanni}} was revealed to have obtained a Beedrillite, using it to Mega Evolve his {{TP|Giovanni|Beedrill}} as part of his explanation that the meteoroid threatening to destroy the world may be housing a Pokémon inside of it. The [[Meteor Village]] {{OBP|elder|Meteor Village}} later offered {{adv|Sapphire}} a Gardevoirite and Galladite, commenting how matching her Gallade and {{adv|Ruby}}'s Gardevoir are. Ruby and Sapphire later used these Mega Stones to Mega Evolve [[Rara]] and {{p|Gallade|Kirly}} during a brief battle against each other.
* In ''[[PAORAS21|Omega Alpha Adventure 21]]'', after destroying the [[Grand Meteor Delta]], Ruby had {{p|Hoopa}} find a Diancite for Diancie to use in the Pokémon Contest Spectacular, allowing Ruby to Mega Evolve Diancie for his and Sapphire's performance.

===Pocket Monsters XY: The Legend of the Pokémon Dragon King===
In [[Pocket Monsters XY: The Legend of the Pokémon Dragon King]], which is centered around Mega Evolution, several characters have Mega Stones in their possession. {{OBP|Akira|LDK}} owns both a Charizardite X and a Charizardite Y, {{OBP|Koji|LDK}} owns a Garchompite, and [[Taichi]] has an Ampharosite.

==Trivia==

* The design of the Mega Stones appears to be based on a common pattern found in the glass {{wp|Marble (toy)|marble}} called a toothpaste or catseye marble.
* Certain Mega Stones in X and Y are only found in the game in which the corresponding Pokémon is not normally available:
** The Aggronite and Houndoominite are only found in Y, though {{p|Aron}}, {{p|Houndour}}, and their evolved forms are exclusive to X.
** The Tyranitarite and Manectite are only found in X, though {{p|Larvitar}} and {{p|Electrike}} are exclusive to Y; however, {{p|Pupitar}} and {{p|Manectric}} can be found in the [[Friend Safari]] in both X and Y.
* Despite not being introduced officially until Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the Latiosite and Latiasite exist in the code for X and Y and can be transfered to them.
* In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, it is explained that {{p|Rayquaza}} does not require a Mega Stone to Mega Evolve due to its mikado organ working as a Mega Stone once it has consumed enough [[meteorite]]s.

=== Name conventions ===
Usually, a Mega Stone's name is formed by adding a suffix to the Pokémon's name. The typical pattern is to use "-ite" when the last letter before the suffix is a consonant, and "-nite" when it's a vowel. Other endings include "-inite" for {{p|Blastoise}} and {{p|Houndoom}}, and "-tite" for {{p|Glalie}}. In some cases, the final letters of the Pokémon's name, often a final "e", are dropped.

(Japanese: '''ウルト''' ''Uruto''<ref>[https://x.com/anipoke_PR/status/1908820727832383946 '''ウルト''''s name romanized as ''Uruto'' in an image from the official Japanese animated series Twitter/X account]</ref>) is a major supporting character in {{aniseries|HZ}}, introduced in the ''Mega Voltage'' arc. He is [[Roy]]'s [[rival]] and a member of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]].

==History==

[[File:Uruto and Sableye.png|thumb|left|250px|Uruto and {{p|Sableye}}]]
In the year following the events of ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', Uruto met and trained alongside [[Roy]] in the [[Kalos]] [[region]], which led to them becoming [[rival]]s, aquiring [[Mega Ring]]s, and mastering [[Mega Evolution]].

Uruto debuted in [[HZ090]]. He found Roy searching for a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Slaking}} and insisted on following him, despite the other's attempts of warding him off. Eventually, they found the Slaking and had their Pokémon battle and defeat it after discovering that it was being influenced by [[Laquium]]. In the following morning, Uruto found out that Roy had woken up earlier and left him behind.

In [[HZ092]], Uruto tracked Roy down to an unknown town, discovering him with [[Liko]]. While continuing to follow them, he and his {{p|Sableye}} accidentally fell down a hole and investigated it, only to be caught by a Laquium-afflicted {{p|Steelix}}. Later, he found Roy and Liko fighting another afflicted Steelix. Seeing the severity of the situation, he Mega Evolved his Sableye and assisted the two in fighting the berserk Pokémon. After being introduced to Liko, his Sableye attempted to eat [[Pagogo]] due to the gems it had, but Uruto managed to pull it away. Uruto chastised Roy for abandoning him in the forest, leading to Roy realizing that Uruto had been following him, though he denied the accusation. He then began a monologue claiming that the [[Black Rayquaza]] would be his, prompting Roy to drag Liko off, much to his frustration.
[[File:Uruto Strong Sphere HZ095.png|thumb|250px|Uruto renounces the power of [[Laquium]] and destroys his [[Strong Sphere]]]]
In [[HZ095]], Uruto ended up in [[Exceed's Test Center]] near [[Uirō City]], where a live demonstration of the [[Strong Sphere]] was being held. He encountered Liko and Roy, but coldly shrugged off Roy's attempt to talk to him due to the motion sickness resulting from having ridden the bus. Uruto contemplated using the Strong Sphere at first, but quickly made up his mind to not use it after seeing the effects on [[Coral]] and [[Sidian]]'s Pokémon. He had his Sableye face off against them, but Coral's {{p|Glalie}} wrapped the battle early with a {{m|Self-Destruct}}, allowing Uruto, Liko, and Roy to escape. Then, he decided to formally join the two of them on their journey.

In [[HZ096]], after learning from [[Dot]] about a [[Black Rayquaza]] sighting near [[Blackthorn City]], the trio decided to go there and investigate. While on the way, they were stopped by the [[Dragon Rampage Gang]], a trio of {{p|Cyclizar}}-riding {{tc|Dragon Tamer}}s, who feigned ignorance about the Black Rayquaza and fled, accusing Uruto's group of being [[Pokémon hunter|Pokémon poacher]]s. Later, the group encountered [[Snake]], an actual poacher. Uruto tried facing the man alone, but was scolded by Liko, who stated his reckless actions would never allow him to become strong. Taking Liko's critique to heart, Uruto teamed up with Roy and defeated Snake, sending him running off. Impressed by their heroics, the Dragon Rampage Gang decided to take Liko and Roy, but not Uruto, to the [[Dragon's Den]], where the Black Rayquaza was recovering from the events at [[Laqua]]. Uruto, however, insisted and found his way there, where he met the [[Legendary Pokémon]] for the first time and told it to get better quickly, as he only wanted to face it at full strength, while also proclaiming his intention of becoming way stronger.
[[File:Uruto Rising Volt Tacklers.png|thumb|left|250px|Uruto joining the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]]]
In [[HZ099]], Uruto, Liko, Roy, and Dot, who had joined them in the [[HZ098|previous episode]], arrived at [[Karna's Poké Ball factory]], in [[Galar]], to meet up with [[Orla]], a former member of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]. While the others tried convincing Orla to aid them, Uruto found out that [[Karna]] had been hired to manufacture shells for the Strong Spheres, oblivious to what they truly were. Two [[Exceed]] employees came to pick up their order, but when Uruto denied them, the [[Explorers]] members [[Indy]] and [[Rubella]] stepped in to take them by force. In the [[HZ100|next episode]], Uruto, Liko, Roy, and Dot teamed up to battle Indy and Rubella's Laquium-enhanced {{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Tauros}}. By exploiting a weakness caused by the Laquium's effect, Uruto and the others emerged victorious, forcing Indy and Rubella to retreat. Later, after Orla had been convinced to fly on the airship once again, Uruto and the others pitched in to help clean and repair the Brave Olivine. Once they were done, [[Mollie]], [[Murdock]], and [[Ludlow]] arrived to join as well. To everyone else's surprise, Uruto proudly stated he would be joining the Rising Volt Tacklers as their newest member.

In [[HZ106]], Uruto got into an argument with Roy over the messy state of his living quarters. Frustrated, Uruto ran away with Sableye to [[Manpūku Town]], where he met [[Rayu]], a street artist to whom he showed off his [[Dusk Ball]], claiming it housed a powerful Pokémon, though he didn't know exactly who. The next day, Uruto realized Rayu had stolen his Dusk Ball and raced to the town, where he found the boy ready to trade it for a Strong Sphere with Indy and Rubella. He challenged them to a battle and managed to win after his willingness to fight for others resonated with the Pokémon in the Dusk Ball, who finally emerged, revealing itself as a {{p|Dragonite}}. The Explorers duo retreated, but Uruto followed them. In the [[HZ107|next episode]], he arrived at an [[Explorers base]], but was quickly spotted and locked up. Fortunately, he managed to send Sableye away to get help, who was able to find Roy. The two of them soon fought against Indy and Rubella once more, but they were interrupted by four {{p|Rabsca}}, who were suppressing the battlefield with their {{m|Gravity}}. At this moment, remembering words from [[Uruto's father|his father]], he called for Dragonite's strength in order to protect the ones he cared about. This time, Uruto's determination allowed for Dragonite to Mega Evolve, which took out the Rabsca, allowing the two boys to defeat their opponents and escape. While Roy was pleased to see that Dragonite approved him, Uruto felt that it wasn't genuine until he could protect the ones he cared about. He later met with Mollie, who gave him some advice and knew he had run off but did not tell anyone, which he appreciated, and he warmed up at the thought of belonging with the group.

In [[HZ110]], Uruto joined Liko and Roy in facing off against the Explorers once again, who empowered five of the Six Heroes with Super Strong Spheres which made them go berserk. Uruto's Sableye struggled to deal significant damage to Gouging Fire, leaving Uruto shocked at the sheer strength of the Six Heroes. Uruto then sent out and Mega-Evolved his Dragonite, but despite this Mega Dragonite still was not fully obedient to Uruto, not listening to his commands and dodging Gouging Fire's attacks on its own. After Pagogo was defeated Uruto and his friends had to face off against the berserk Six Heroes once again. In the [[HZ111|next episode]], Uruto and his friends continued struggling against the rampaging heroes. Despite the timely assistance by [[Amethio]] and [[White Zygarde|Zygarde]], the battle still resulted in a complete defeat for the Rising Volt Tacklers. Exhausted, the effects of the Super Strong Spheres wore off on the Six Heroes, whose unconscious bodies were taken away by the Explorers. After bidding farewell to Amethio, [[Hamber]], and [[Cervantis]], Uruto and the others received a call from [[Briar]], who suggested that they come meet her at [[Blueberry Academy]]. Realizing that Blueberry Academy is a school that specializes in Pokémon battling, Uruto and his friends decided it would be the perfect location to train for their next encounter with the Explorers, as Liko revealed to him that a [[Ann|friend]] of her's, Roy, and Dot is there as an exchange student.

==Character==
[[File:Uruto and Black Rayquaza.png|250px|thumb|Uruto and the Black Rayquaza]]
Uruto is [[Roy]]'s self-proclaimed spirited rival, constantly seeking a battle. He's quick with a snarky comment and easily frustrated, especially when Roy leaves him behind. Despite his arrogant demeanor and sharp tongue, Uruto is actually a skilled Trainer with a strong connection to his Pokémon, enabling them to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]], as well as being good with battle tactics, as seen when battling [[Coral]] and [[Sidian]] on even footing without using Mega Evolution. He can also be surprisingly supportive, encouraging Roy to overcome his fears and fight for his ambitions. Driven by their shared goal of catching the [[Black Rayquaza]], Uruto's impulsive pursuit often leads him into trouble, as seen when he angered a flock of {{p|Dodrio}} and {{p|Fearow}} by trespassing, and also leads to him persistently pursuing Roy to the latter's displeasure. These traits lead to his relationship with Roy being tenuous, as Roy sees him as a nuisance and a liability who will only get in his way and generally doesn't want to put up with him and his over-the-top behavior, always taking any opportunity to escape from Uruto's persistent presence. Despite this, Uruto and Roy have been shown to get along, and Uruto considers him a close friend.
[[File:Dot Liko Roy Uruto.png|thumb|left|250px|Uruto and his friends]]
Uruto is shown to be shy and easily flustered around women, as seen with [[Liko]], having a hard time interacting with them as a result. His ineptitude at interacting with girls is displayed when Uruto initially mistook [[Dot]] for a boy until [[Murdock]] explained that she is his niece, which caused Uruto to freak out because he briefly held her hand before finding out. However, after the events in [[HZ096]], Uruto became comfortable around Liko and developed an admiration for her compassion for Pokémon, even seeing her as a very good friend. Uruto also became friends with Dot and gets along well with her. During the events in [[HZ106]] and [[HZ107]], Uruto came to respect [[Mollie]], as she didn't tell their teammates about him running away and gave him some advice when he returned. Also, Uruto quickly befriended [[Diana]], Liko's grandmother, after finding out that she used the [[Brave Olivine]]'s observation deck as a room as well. All of these interactions show that his kind nature can effectively overtake his shyness towards women once a friendship or connection has been established with them.

Uruto easily hits it off with Murdock and quickly enjoys his cooking, especially his sweets. He seems to be on good terms with the rest of his teammates, but he mostly hangs out Roy, Liko, and Dot, as his strong friendship with them is part of the reason he decided to join the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]. Uruto eventually comes to enjoy being with the Rising Volt Tacklers, as they taught him to be a team player and that true strength comes from protecting others, especially his friends. He has also learn that he can't do everything alone and he can relay on his friends for help.
[[File:Diana and Uruto.png|250px|thumb|Uruto and Diana]]
Uruto deep down prefers to battle all out with his Pokémon and is a kind person at heart, and seemingly has a strong moral code, disgusted by the use of [[Laquium]] in battle and helping Roy and Liko battle the [[Explorers]] without hesitation. This is also shown when Uruto tells the Black Rayquaza to get better soon, as he only wanted to battle it at full strength. Ever since the events in [[HZ095]], Uruto developed a strong dislike towards the Explorers and the way they treat Pokémon. Uruto's detest for the Explorers grows after finding out that they have taken [[Lucius]]'s [[Six Heroes|remaining five Pokémon]] captive and gets angry at himself for not doing something when he saw his {{TP|Lucius|Kleavor}} and {{TP|Lucius|Lapras}} trapped in boxes in [[HZ107]], but is assured by his friends that his information is important for their mission.

Similar to Roy, he has also been shown to be rather gluttonous. As shown in [[HZ095]] and [[HZ097]], Uruto suffers from a form of motion sickness, causing him to feel unwell when riding certain vehicles such as buses or boats. Because of this, he feels more confortable sleeping in the Brave Olivine's observation room where he can see the sky outside. Uruto isn't afraid to try new things, as shown in [[HZ105]], when he decided to give surfing a try. While Uruto puts up a strong front, he can be flustered or even intimidated by stronger opponents, as seen in [[HZ110]] where his Sableye was overpowered by [[Lucius's Gouging Fire]] under the influence of a [[Strong Sphere|Super Strong Sphere]]. After losing to five of the Six Heroes in the [[HZ111|next episode]], Uruto became depressed, but quickly shakes it off and became motivated to get stronger in order to help them.

Prior to the events of the series, Uruto was given a {{p|Dragonite}} in a [[Dusk Ball]] by [[Uruto's father|his father]]. As the time passed, however, Dragonite seemed unwilling to come out, which Uruto may have taken as a sign that it did not recognize his strength. Since then, his goal was to become stronger in order to win its approval. It was once he displayed willingness to fight for others when Dragonite reacted and finally appeared before him. Despite this progress, Uruto was still unsure if Dragonite truly approved of him, so he made it his goal to become the strongest in order to protect everyone. Since then, Dragonite has obediently come out of its Ball when asked, however, it has a [[Disobedience|tendency]] to act without its Trainer's commands.

In [[HZ090]], Sableye Mega Evolved in order to help [[Roy]]'s Pokémon defeat a [[Laquium]]-enhanced {{p|Slaking}}. In [[HZ092]], Sableye was used to assist Roy and [[Liko]]'s Pokémon in battling two Laquium-enhanced {{p|Steelix}} by Mega Evolving. Sableye has also shown interest in eating [[Pagogo]], likely due to its crystalline body.

In [[HZ095]], Sableye battled [[Coral]]'s {{p|Glalie}}, with Sableye dominating the battle despite its opponent's use of Laquium. Glalie ended up using {{m|Self-Destruct}}, causing its own defeat and allowing Uruto, Liko, and Roy to escape.

In [[HZ107]], Uruto and Sableye were captured by [[Spinel]] and the Explorers at an [[Explorers base]]. After being saved by its Trainer, Sableye fled to meet Roy, who guided it there. Once there, Sableye battled with Roy's other Pokémon against [[Indy]] and [[Rubella]]'s Pokémon, and when all seemed lost, the group was saved by Uruto's Dragonite, which used Mega Evolution for the first time under Uruto's command.

Sableye's known moves are {{m|Power Gem}}, {{m|Throat Chop}}, {{m|Confuse Ray}}, and {{m|Shadow Sneak}}.}}

For a long time, Dragonite seemed unwilling to come out of its Dusk Ball, resulting in Uruto forgetting the identity of the Pokémon inside.

In [[HZ106]], reacting with Uruto's willingness to fight for others, Dragonite appeared before him for the first time and quickly defeated [[Indy]] and [[Rubella]]'s {{p|Darmanitan}}.

==Trivia==
* Uruto's catchphrase is "Mega".
* Uruto was first revealed in the April 2025 issue of ''[[CoroCoro|CoroCoro Comic]]'' magazine (released March 14, 2025), and later in a [https://youtu.be/FEuWFupIma4 trailer] aired after ''[[HZ088|The Earthshaking White Zygarde]]''.
* In the Japanese version, Uruto uses the pronoun "'''{{tt|俺様|おれさま}}''' (''ore-sama'')" meaning "my esteemed self" or "Mr. I", a highly informal way of referring to oneself, often used by fictional characters to express arrogance or self-importance.
* When [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] his {{p|Sableye}} and {{p|Dragonite}}, Uruto uses the phrase (Japanese: '''トンデモパワーで全開突破ァ！！''' ''Break through with outrageous power!!'').
* Uruto is the only younger [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] member that doesn't own a Pokémon introduced in [[Generation IX]].
* Uruto is the first original character in the {{pkmn|animated series}}, and the first in {{aniseries|HZ}}, to have Mega Evolved more than one Pokémon, after [[Gurkinn]].
** He is also the first to Mega Evolve multiple Pokémon within a single [[series]].

'''Nemona''' (Japanese: '''ネモ''' ''Nemo'') is a supporting character in ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''. She is a {{pkmn|Champion}}-ranked {{pkmn|Trainer}} who first appeared in ''[[HZ010|Nemona and Brassius and...]]''.

Nemona is also the current student council president of [[Naranja Academy]] and eventually became a friendly [[rival]] to [[Roy]], often challenging him to battle.

==In animation==
===History===
====Pre-series====
Some time ago, Nemona challenged the [[Paldea League]] and managed to become a {{pkmn|Champion}} Rank Trainer. This made her famous among several Trainers in the [[Paldea]] [[region]].

====''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''====
[[File:Nemona Liko Roy.png|250px|left|thumb|Nemona with [[Liko]] and [[Roy]]]]
Nemona first appeared in ''[[HZ010|Nemona and Brassius and...]]'' while winning a battle against a Trainer. Some time before meeting [[Liko]] and [[Roy]], Nemona came to [[Artazon]] town to meet with [[Brassius]] and discuss his absence from the [[Gym]]. Upon being introduced to the young Trainers, Nemona joined them to go to the Gym and meet Brassius. During the meeting, they discussed their works and when Roy spoke about the [[Black Rayquaza]], Brassius kicked everyone out of his house. While discussing why Brassius acted the way he did, Liko came to the conclusion that Brassius might have {{wp|writer's block}}. After that, Nemona took Liko and Roy to the {{DL|Artazon|Sunflora Lawn}} and decided to group as many {{p|Sunflora}} to create inspiration for Brassius again, showing them later that she managed to gather fifteen species. After Brassius saw the group's determination and his {{p|Dolliv}}'s insistence, Brassius presented Nemona, Liko and Roy with a work based on his vision of {{p|Rayquaza}}. As soon as Brassius challenged Roy to a {{pkmn|battle}}, Nemona watched the battle along with Liko and explained some concepts like {{Tera}}stallization to her. At the end, Brassius presented another work of his to the group, one based on the forest's {{DL|Six Heroes|Arboliva}}.
[[File:Nemona Liko Roy Dot HZ046.png|250px|thumb|Nemona reuniting with Liko, Roy, and Dot at [[Naranja Academy]]]]
In the [[HZ011|next episode]], Nemona accompanied Liko, Roy, and [[Mollie]] into the [[Arboliva's Forest]]. Upon arriving, Nemona said goodbye to the group and said that the next time she would met them, she would like to have a battle with Roy.

Nemona appeared in a flashback to Liko and Roy's journey in ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]''.

In ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]'', Nemona reunited with Liko and Roy and met [[Dot]] after they enrolled at [[Naranja Academy]] to train for the [[Tera Training]]. During the reunion, Liko and Roy discovered that Nemona's Pawmo evolved, and shortly thereafter, Nemona challenged Roy to a battle but was stopped by [[Clavell]]. Shortly after, Nemona showed off the Academy to the freshmen and introduced [[Elite Four]] members [[Rika]] and [[Hassel]] to her friends. After Liko and [[Ann]]'s battle, Nemona appeared again wanting to battle but was interrupted by the ringing of the Academy's bell.
[[File:Roy and Nemona.png|left|250px|thumb|Nemona and Roy]]
In ''[[HZ048|Sparkle! The Glow of Fire and Art!]]'', Nemona was in Artazon again helping with an Art Festival that would be held by Naranja Academy and Brassius: Upon meeting Roy again, Nemona immediately challenged him to a battle which she won without much difficulty, despite Roy and {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} gave their best. After the battle, Nemona took her friends to the workshop where work was being done. After Liko, Roy and Dot showed off their art, Nemona watched Roy's battle against Brassius. [[HZ060|Some time later]], it was revealed that Nemona took a photo with Liko, Roy and Dot before separating from the group.

In ''[[HZ055|Showdown! The Paldea Elite Four]]'', Nemona reunited with Liko, Roy, and Dot when they returned to Naranja Academy, after explaining their next challenge, Nemona watched the students' battles against Paldea's Elite Four. After Roy's defeat in the battle against Hassel, Nemona came personally to tell him to continue doing his best. In [[HZ056|next episode]], Nemona watched Liko and [[Katy]]'s battle against Rika alongside Roy and [[Ann]].
[[File:Nemona Arven Penny HZ067.png|250px|thumb|Nemona with [[Penny]] and [[Arven]]]]
In ''[[HZ061|Resonating Spirits in a Challenge to Ryme!]]'', it was revealed that Nemona traveled to [[Montenevera]], and after saving {{TP|Liko|Terapagos}} from falling from the sky, Nemona reunited with Liko, Roy, and Dot again. Soon after, Nemona watched alongside Liko and Dot as Roy battled [[Ryme]], and when Roy was defeated, Nemona joined the girls to see how Roy and Fuecoco were doing. In the [[HZ062|following episode]], in order to cheer Roy up, Nemona held a [[Hyper Training]] with him and Fuecoco. As the afternoon wore on, Nemona joined the group and heard the story of why Roy likes to sing. Later, Nemona watched Roy and Ryme's [[rematch]] and after Roy's victory, she congratulated him for advancing another step in the Tera Training.

In ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]'', Nemona met with Liko, Roy, and Dot again. After talking about the progress of the Tournament for the Tera Training students, she watched the battles while Liko and Roy solved a problem at Naranja Academy involving the [[Explorers]]. In the [[HZ067|next episode]], Nemona praised Roy and Liko's heroic actions in saving the school from the Explorers, whom she heard from [[Penny]]. Soon after, Nemona watched Liko and Roy's battle alongside Penny and [[Arven]], and after Roy's victory, Nemona congratulated him on the result and said she was proud of Roy's progress up to that point alongside Ryme.

Nemona reappeared in a flashback in [[HZ085]].

===Character===
[[File:Nemona ready battle.png|thumb|250px|Nemona ready to battle]]
Nemona is a very friendly and kind person, quickly making friends with [[Liko]] and [[Roy]]. Nemona has a very supportive personality, showing this when she tried to encourage Roy to continue doing his best in battles after being defeated by [[Hassel]].

She also has a huge passion for [[Pokémon battle]]s, challenging different Trainers as she encounters them on her way to a battle. During the time that Liko and Roy spent at [[Naranja Academy]], Nemona often challenged people to battle, but was always interrupted by something. In addition to this, in ''[[HZ061|Resonating Spirits in a Challenge to Ryme!]]'', Nemona revealed that she enjoys following some events that involve Pokémon battles, which motivated her to travel to [[Montenevera]] just to watch the battles that happened at [[Ryme]]'s show.

As expected from a {{pkmn|Champion}}, Nemona is well respected in the [[Paldea]] [[region]], as shown during her [[HZ010|first appearance]] and when Nemona met [[Dot]] who was quite embarrassed in Nemona's presence. Despite her young age she is shown to be very knowledgeable about various topics in the Pokémon world such as the [[Terastal phenomenon]].

==Trivia==
* In an interview with {{wp|Oricon}} magazine, [[Eri Kitamura]] spoke a little about her vision for Nemona; for her, although Nemona is a veteran Trainer, her willingness to battle means that other people do not see her as a mature Trainer.<ref>https://twitter.com/oricon_anime_/status/1785972504659468395</ref>

Ithink we should change how the Pokémon that live on the Brave Olivine are listed here. By putting "Friede -> Pokémon -> On The Brave Olivine" it kind of gives the implication that they're his Pokémon, which they aren't.

==Blurb==

Professor Kukui’s dream of creating an Alola Pokémon League is finally reality! Our heroes are as excited as can be, and everybody wants to participate—even Team Rocket! But there’s someone set on destroying the League and everything it stands for…Guzma, the leader of Team Skull. Full of resentment for Professor Kukui and the teachings of Kahuna Hala, he’s determined to get the last laugh by winning the League, then shutting it down for good! But Ash is having none of that, and he vows to never lose to Guzma. His friends agree—and with that, the League is off to a rousing start!

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashcl}} are aboard a ship bound for [[Manalo Stadium]], the venue of the upcoming [[Manalo Conference]]. {{an|Lillie}} surprises her friends with an outfit change to represent her more confident self. When the ship docks, {{an|Professor Kukui}} greets his students, informs them that registrations end by the evening, and suggests they go tour the island in the meantime. Ash, {{an|Kiawe}}, and {{an|Sophocles}} go to [[Manalo Stadium]]; while Lillie, {{an|Mallow}}, and {{an|Lana}} go to the mall to do some shopping.

Meanwhile, {{TRT}} sets up their van in preparation for the crowd of spectators. [[James]] remarks that their early-release Manalo doughnuts were a success, but [[Jessie]] reminds him that they need to be focused on winning the [[Alola League]] in order to conquer the [[Alola]] [[region]]. {{MTR}} remarks that they can get rich while selling doughnuts and still win the League. Jessie suddenly notices a {{p|Stufful}} walk into her line of sight, causing the trio to start searching frantically for its mother, {{an|Bewear}}. However, this Stufful is revealed to belong to a {{pkmn|Trainer}}, much to the trio's relief. James admits that they made all preventative measures to avoid Bewear interrupting their plans, namely constructing a relaxing hot spring for Bewear and {{an|Stufful}} to enjoy.

Ash and the boys reach the Manalo Stadium, where they find [[Hau]] and [[Hala]]. After Hau reveals he is entering the League as well, Kiawe and {{an|Sophocles}} introduce themselves. Ash notices Hau's new [[Z-Ring]], and he explains that he finally cleared his grandfather's [[Island challenge|grand trial]]. Hau also reveals that his {{p|Dartrix}} has since [[Evolution|evolved]] into a {{p|Decidueye}}. Ash shakes his [[bag|backpack]] to retrieve {{AP|Rowlet}}, only to find it asleep. However, Decidueye pecks it into waking up. Rowlet and Decidueye are thrilled to see each other [[SM097|again]] and exchange a fist-bump. Hau decides to explore the Manalo Stadium with Ash and his friends, with Decidueye and Rowlet flying into the sky.

Meanwhile, as the girls explore the stores, {{an|Lana}} suggests they go for some {{DL|Pokémon Center Café|Drinks|Pinap Juice}}. {{an|Mallow}} approaches the counter to order, but she is shocked to see that the attendant is actually her older brother [[Ulu]]. He explains that he decided to return to Alola to open a pop-up store, and Mallow replies that she is entering the League. Ulu is thrilled by the news and admits that he'll close up the store to watch her battles.

[[Team Skull]] arrives, and [[Tupp]] is keen to gatecrash the Manalo Conference, even though [[Guzma]] did not order it. When the other Grunts are hesitant, he explains that the plan will enthrall their boss as Guzma dislikes Kukui, and reminds them of Guzma's [[SM115|earlier statement]] about the League. [[Rapp]] asks for more details and Tupp orders the Grunts to just do stuff. Later, [[Officer Jenny]] causes Tupp and his teammates to scatter as they are tagging an advertising poster with graffiti. The girls approach Jenny, and she explains that some troublemakers have been littering and picking fights with the visitors. As Officer Jenny leaves to continue her patrol, the girls declare they will intervene if they come across any troublemakers.

Team Rocket's sales are interrupted when a {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}} skips the line. [[Jessie]] tries to ask the Grunt to rejoin the line, but the Grunt asks irritating questions and kicks over an advertising sign, causing the customers to flee. Two others Grunts soon join him. James then calls out {{TP|James|Mareanie}} to join {{MTR}} and {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} in a show of force. The Grunts call on their Pokémon, but the trio quickly defeats them. Meanwhile, {{an|Gladion}} and his {{TP|Gladion|Lycanroc}} quickly deal with another Team Skull trio at the docks.

Later, Ash and the boys confront Tupp and his gang during their crime spree and battle their {{p|Garbodor}}, {{p|Zubat}}, and {{p|Salandit}} with [[Ash's Pikachu]] and Rowlet, [[Kiawe's Turtonator]], [[Sophocles's Vikavolt]], and Hau's Decidueye. Garbodor uses {{m|Sludge Bomb}}, but Turtonator destroys the incoming attack with {{m|Flamethrower}}. Tupp orders his Salandit to use {{m|Scratch}}, but Rowlet's {{m|Seed Bomb}} knocks him to the ground. Zubat swoops in to use {{m|Bite}}, but Decidueye evades the attack and strikes with {{m|Razor Leaf}}, defeating Zubat. With the battle over, Ash and the others demand to know what the grunts want, and Rapp replies that the League should burn.

Guzma and [[Plumeria]] then arrive. Tupp and his gang beg for forgiveness, but Plumeria scolds them for running off and dismisses their attempt to hijack the League as useless. As Guzma prepares to call out a Pokémon, the girls, Hala, and Kukui arrive as well. Kukui confronts Guzma, demanding to know why he is at the League, and Guzma reveals he is following Kukui's advice to enter the League. He then declares he will dominate the arena and ruin Kukui's dreams by ensuring no more Leagues will take place as Champion. He leaves with Plumeria, with Zipp and the others following. Lillie asks Kukui why Guzma is so obsessed with him, but Kukui doesn't respond. Hala proceeds to inform the children that Kukui and Guzma were once his apprentices. However, Guzma was particularly disobedient and had no regard for the traditions of the island challenge. He ran off hoping to prove his strengths without the need for either a Z-Ring or [[Z-Crystal]]s. Hala admits that he failed to save Guzma's heart, but Kukui feels that the responsibility lies with him. Ash and the others promptly express their determination to win the League and defend Kukui's efforts from Guzma. Kukui thanks everyone for their support.

Overnight, Kukui presents the competitors with a League eve feast. Ash and his friends call out their Pokémon to enjoy the meal. They learn that Gladion, [[Samson Oak|Principal Oak]], and [[Ilima]] will be participating, while Guzma and Plumeria are also seen in the crowd of competitors. Later, Kukui ushers everyone over for a presentation about the preliminary round rules, presented by the Masked Royal via television screen. He explains that the participants will compete in a free-for-all, where only the final 16 left standing will advance onto the final tournament, a [[Battle Royal]].

Ultra Guardians

2025-05-19T13:10:45Z

Pokemaster124: /* Assisted */Fixed typo

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

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

The Ultra Guardians were given [[Beast Ball]]s and a medical kit containing [[Full Restore]]s, [[Max Potion]]s, and some {{Berries}} with healing properties that they could use during their missions. They also have [[Poké Ride|Ride Pokémon]] that help them with transportation.

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

The Ultra Guardians embarked on their first mission in ''[[SM061|A Mission of Ultra Urgency!]]'', where they were sent out to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} a {{p|Buzzwole}}. Ash eventually managed to do so, allowing it to be sent back to Ultra Space.

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

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

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

In ''[[SM083|Dummy, You Shrunk the Kids!]]'', there was no actual Ultra Guardian mission, but {{an|Kiawe}}, Lana, and {{an|Mallow}} used their Ultra Guardians equipment and Ride Pokémon to help locate Ash, Lillie, and {{an|Sophocles}}, who had been accidentally shrunk by one of {{an|Faba}}'s inventions and subsequently gotten lost.

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

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

The mission continued in ''[[SM088|Full Moon and Many Arms!]]'', where, despite their best efforts, Necrozma merged with Lunala and became {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dawn Wings Necrozma}}. {{DL|Nebby|In animation|Nebby}} attacked Dawn Wings Necrozma using Sunsteel Strike, which freed Lunala from Necrozma's control. However, Necrozma then merged with Nebby, subsequently becoming Dusk Mane Necrozma. Necrozma disappeared through an Ultra Wormhole immediately afterward, leaving Lunala injured. The Ultra Guardians took Lunala back to the Pokémon School to recover. They managed to succeed in this endeavor with the help of Z-Power of their [[Z-Ring]]s.
[[File:Ultra Guardians Ride Pokémon.png|thumb|250px|The Ultra Guardians on their Ride Pokémon]]
In ''[[SM089|The Prism Between Light and Darkness!]]'', the Ultra Guardians and Lunala traveled through an Ultra Wormhole and arrived at [[Poipole's world|Poipole's home world]]. Shortly after arriving, Poipole introduced everyone to its other Poipole friends and the leader of its hive, {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Ultra Space Naganadel|Naganadel}}. With its telepathy, Naganadel revealed to everyone how Necrozma lost its light protecting the world from a meteor, causing everything to become shrouded in darkness. Realizing that Necrozma is the Blinding One spoken of in Alolan legends, the Ultra Guardians decided the best way to free Nebby and restore Poipole's world to its former self was to help Necrozma regain its true form by giving it their Z-Power. After encountering Necrozma again, Ash, Kiawe, Lana, and Gladion fired simultaneous [[Z-Move]]s at the Prism Pokémon.

The mission came to an end during ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', where they, along with the people and Pokémon of Alola, were able to return Necrozma to its original form. This helped restore Poipole's homeworld in the process. With the Ultra Wormhole about to close, they left, while Poipole decided to remain behind.

The Ultra Guardians set out on another mission in ''[[SM095|Sparking Confusion!]]'', this time to [[Wela Volcano Park]], after hearing about unusual activity in the area. They discovered that [[Rock hunters|a group of rock hunters]] was searching for rocks called Spark Stones, in the process disrupting the feeding rituals of a pack of Alolan {{p|Geodude}} and {{p|Graveler}} living at the volcano. The hunters were attacked by their leader, an Alolan {{p|Golem}}, who began attacking indiscriminately. With help from {{p|Metang}}, Ash, Kiawe, and Sophocles were able to calm the group of Alolan Pokémon and stop the magnetic interference coming from the Park. The leader Golem later joined a trio of {{tc|Hiker}}s who volunteered to conduct future patrols of Wela Volcano Park.

The Ultra Guardians set out on another mission in ''[[SM114|Beauty is Only Crystal Deep!]]''. One night, {{p|Pheromosa}} appeared from an Ultra Wormhole and began stealing [[Z-Crystal]]s from Trainers. Attempts by the Ultra Guardians to catch it failed, so they and Faba formed a plan to lure Pheromosa in with their Z-Crystals, which would be surrounded by glue. This failed, however, when {{MTR}}, who had fallen in love with Pheromosa, stepped on the glue instead, allowing Pheromosa to grab the Z-Crystals without getting stuck. The Ultra Guardians were eventually able to catch and return Pheromosa when it was defeated by {{an|Bewear}}.

In ''[[SM124|Living on the Cutting Edge!]]'', the Ultra Guardians were alerted to the presence of a {{p|Kartana}} that was randomly cutting up objects. They were dispatched and split up to look for it, eventually finding it outside Viren's hotel. Kartana headed for the Pokémon School, but they were able to stop it from causing any further damage. They attempted to catch Kartana, only for it to slice the Beast Ball into pieces. They were contacted by Lusamine, who warned them of a meteor heading for the Pokémon School, and they attempted to stop it from hitting its target. Their attacks failed to stop the meteor, but Kartana was able to cut it into harmless pieces, which fell into the ocean. Kartana then opened up its own Ultra Wormhole by slicing through space and returned home.

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

'''Nebby''' (Japanese: '''ほしぐもちゃん''' ''Hoshigumo-chan'') is a {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|SUS}}/{{P|Lunala}}{{sup/7|MUM}}, a {{pkmn2|Legendary}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, and a major character in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]]. Its [[nickname]] was given to it as a {{p|Cosmog}} by [[Lillie]], who took care of it and tried to uncover its mysteries.

==In the core series==
{{spoilers}}
===Background===
Months prior the events of the games, a {{p|Cosmog}} was discovered and studied by [[Mohn]] from the [[Aether Foundation]]. This research however led him to disappear into an Ultra Wormhole, leaving the weakened Cosmog behind, which was taken under his wife [[Lusamine]]'s possession.

==={{g|Sun and Moon}}===
====Rescued by [[Lillie]]====
3 months prior to the {{player}}'s arrival on [[Alola]], [[Lillie]] tried to escape [[Aether Paradise]] with the now [[nickname]]d Cosmog, Nebby, inside her bag. When they were cornered by several [[Aether Foundation Employee (Trainer class)|Aether Foundation Employees]], Nebby used its powers to teleport both of them away, washing up on a beach. They're soon found by [[Professor Burnet]], who agrees to help Lillie learn more about Nebby, contacting her husband [[Professor Kukui|Kukui]], who allows them to stay at [[Alola Route 1|his house]] for the time being.

====On [[Melemele Island]]====
[[File:Nebby Plank Bridge SM.png|thumb|left|250px|Nebby using its powers at [[Mahalo Trail]]]]
When the player gets to [[Iki Town]], Lillie can be seen talking to her bag, walking north towards [[Mahalo Trail]]. Nebby appears to be interested in the [[Ruins of Conflict]]. The player follows Lillie, potentially mistaking her for the [[island kahuna]] of [[Melemele Island]]. They then encounter a worried Lillie, who informs the player about Nebby being attacked by a group of {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Spearow}} on an unstable rope bridge. The player steps in to protect it and Nebby is once again forced to use its hidden powers, thereby destroying the bridge. Nebby and the player are saved from falling by {{p|Tapu Koko}}, the [[guardian deities|guardian deity]] of Melemele Island. Lillie thanks the player for their bravery and asks the player to not tell anybody about Nebby. She then scolds Nebby for using its power again despite being advised not to and tells it to return to her bag. At the Iki Town festival, Nebby watches the player receive their [[first partner Pokémon]], and later their [[Z-Ring]]. Nebby remains with Lillie both in and out of her drum bag when she introduces the player to Kukui's lab, the [[Rotom Pokédex]], the [[Pokémon Center]] on {{rt|1|Alola}}, the [[Pokémon academy|Trainers' School]], and [[Hau'oli City]] to the player.

When the player arrives at [[Melemele Meadow]], Lillie appears to have gotten lost and Nebby has escaped from Lillie's bag. However, the player finds the Pokémon unharmed; Lillie then asks Nebby to return to the drum bag. After the player has completed [[Hala]]'s trial, Nebby and Lillie accompany the player, Hau and Professor Kukui on his boat to Akala Island.

====On [[Akala Island]]====
The group makes it to [[Akala Island]], where they meet [[Trial Captain|Captain]] [[Mallow]] and Kahuna [[Olivia]], afraid by people she doesn't know, Lillie asks Nebby to return to her bag. Kukui explains to her that it is alright, as Olivia and Mallow are trusted people on the island. Lillie eventually goes shopping and gets caught up by the player, in the process, she asks them to help with research regarding Nebby. Lillie is not a [[Pokémon Trainer]] herself, and would like someone as strong as them to learn more. She also believes that Nebby may be interested in visiting the [[Ruins of Life]]. Lillie stays at the [[Tide Song Hotel]] in [[Heahea City]], hoping to meet someone, as well as to stay away from [[Team Skull]], who may want Nebby for malicious purposes. Once the player and Hau make it back around to Heahea City, Nebby is next seen at the Dimensional Research Lab along with Lillie. Lillie is impressed with the player's skill as a trainer, and instructs Nebby to use {{m|Splash}}, failing to under and adhere to the commands that she gave it. The Cosmog curiously approaches the player, informing Lillie of the player's presence. The two go inside, and the player learns about Professor Burnet who researches Pokémon from other [[dimension]]s. Lillie explains to them of her and Nebby's history with Kukui and Burnet, how they treat her like their own daughter. Lillie eventually gets lost again after the player makes it to [[Konikoni City]], in which, Professor Burnet brings her and Nebby to Olivia and the player at the Ruins of Life. [[Olivia]] suggests that Nebby must be powerful when it approaches {{p|Tapu Lele}}'s territory. Lillie willingly watches the grand trial and fight between Olivia and the player, saying that Nebby will likely enjoy it too. Hau returns to the group, informing the player that [[Faba]] of the [[Aether Foundation]] would like to take them to Aether Paradise. This causes Lillie to get uneasy, preferring to stay behind and will catch up with them later on Ula'ula Island.

====On [[Ula'ula Island]]====
On [[Ula'ula Island]], Lillie informs the player that she and Nebby intend to see the [[Ruins of Abundance]]. Before this, however, she requests the player to help do some research on Alola's history and legends at the [[Malie City]] Library, where she meets [[Hapu]] and [[Acerola]]. Lillie gets lost, accidentally running into an apparel shop instead. Acerola provides Lillie with a book from her father, called '''The Light of Alola''', talking about the region's [[light trio|Legendary Pokémon]]. As the player makes way to [[Aether House]] on {{rt|15|Alola}} it is revealed that Lillie has gone off on her own, separate from Hapu or Acerola, to see what it's like to travel on their own. In front of Aether House, Lillie is stopped by {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}}s, who notice her bag moving. The player steps in and stops the grunts from hurting them. Lillie stays at Aether House, being protected and watched over by Hau, while the player does their trial with Acerola. The player then goes out to save a {{p|Yungoos}} from Team Skull, traveling to their headquarters in [[Po Town]]. This turns out to be a trick, and Lillie and Nebby are kidnapped by Team Skull in an operation led by Team Skull Admin [[Plumeria]]; who says that Team Skull aren't the only ones who steal Pokémon. With Hau being unable to protect the two, Lillie goes with them willing to Aether Paradise. Overhearing this conversation, [[Gladion]], who Hau and the player have encountered multiple times at {{rt|6|Alola}} and {{rt|13|Alola}}, finds out that it was Lillie who took Cosmog from Aether Paradise. Gladion gets upset and initiates a battle with the player, being irritated that he has told the two before that if anyone were to find out about Cosmog, a disaster could happen on Alola. He brings Hau and the player to Aether Paradise, who now label the three as intruders.

====On [[Aether Paradise]]====
[[File:Nebby Cosmoem SM.png|thumb|250px|After evolving into {{p|Cosmoem}} in [[Aether Paradise]]]]
At [[Aether Paradise]], Gladion instructs the player and Hau to research Secret Lab B, which is filled with research documents on the Cosmog species and [[Ultra Wormhole]]s from professor [[Mohn]]. They regroup to the entrance of Aether Paradise and head towards the house that takes palce on the artificial island. After taking on Team Skull and their boss, [[Guzma]], the player manages to find Lillie, who is talking to the Aether Foundation's president, [[Lusamine]], a character they have encountered previously. Lusamine appears to have contained Nebby inside a crate. Lillie tries to reason with Lusamine, telling her that Nebby will die if you were to force it to use too much of its power. Lusamine rejects her proposal, saying that a daughter like her has no right to tell her what to do after she has rejected her love. During their conversation, Hau and Gladion catch up, and it has been revealed that Nebby a subject to Team Skull and the Aether Foundation's experiments aiming at opening more [[Ultra Wormhole]]s and harness the power of [[Ultra Beast]]s—experiments Lillie had originally saved it from with their escape seen during the opening cutscene. Lusamine begins to abuse Nebby's powers and opens Ultra Wormholes across the Alola region, including within the Trophy Room that they are currently standing in. After a battle with Lusamine, Lusamine and Guzma disappear into the Ultra Wormhole and it has been revealed that Nebby has [[Evolution|evolved]] into a {{p|Cosmoem}} (although no one is seemingly aware of this). Lillie takes Nebby, upset by its sudden transformation. The following day, Lillie changes her outfit, storing Cosmoem into her new pink rucksack that she got in Malie City.

====On [[Poni Island]]====
In order to make Nebby feel better after the events at Aether Paradise, Lillie travels with the player to [[Poni Island]]. Before they leave, Gladion provides Lillie with the [[Moon Flute]]{{sup/7|SUS}} or [[Sun Flute]]{{sup/7|MUM}}. Lillie and the player travel to [[Seafolk Village]], and are instructed by the village chief to speak with the kahuna of Poni. They go meet with Hapu, who lives on the island, and the previous kahuna's granddaughter. Bringing the two to the [[Ruins of Hope]] Hapu is seen becoming the kahuna, appointed by {{p|Tapu Fini}}. Sadly, Lillie's hopes of Tapu Fini helping Nebby do not come true. However, Hapu provides Lillie with all the information she knows about the legendary Pokémon that Lillie previously read about, confirming that there is two flutes and that the other is on [[Exeggutor Island]], a previous trial site. Lillie and the player go to Exeggutor Island and retrieve the missing flute. Upon returning, back to Seafolk Village, they begin their journey across [[Vast Poni Canyon]]. At the [[Altar of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|S}} or [[Altar of the Moone]]{{sup/7|M}}, Lillie and the player play the Sun Flute and the Moon Flute together during the daytime{{sup/7|S}} or nighttime{{sup/7|M}}, and Nebby is drawn from her bag, evolving into {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|S}} or {{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|M}}. Upon Lillie's request, Nebby guides her and the player into [[Ultra Deep Sea|Ultra Space]]. In Ultra Space, Nebby roars at Lusamine who has merged with a Nihilego, forcing the two apart. Afterwards, Lillie informs the player that Nebby wants to keep on traveling with her and the player; however, Lillie stresses that she is not a trainer and urges Nebby to join the player instead. A battle is initiated, and the player is then required to catch Nebby, and can provide it with any [[nickname]], however Lillie still call it as Nebby. During the credits sequence, depending on the version, Nebby will appear nuzzling a melancholy Lillie in a photograph during the credits. It will appear as a Solgaleo in Pokémon Sun and a Lunala in Pokémon Moon. Drawings of Nebby as Cosmog species can be seen on the letters given to Lillie.

==={{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}===
In ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Nebby returns to the same role as it had in Sun and Moon. However, the context is changed, altering pieces of its the story.

====Rescued by Lillie====
3 months prior to the {{player}}'s arrival on [[Alola]], [[Lillie]] tried to escape [[Aether Paradise]] with the now [[nickname]]d Cosmog, Nebby, inside her bag. When they were cornered by [[Aether Foundation Employee (Trainer class)|Aether Foundation Employees]] and [[Ultra Recon Squad]] members, Nebby used its powers to teleport both of them away, washing up on a beach. They're soon found by [[Professor Burnet]], who agrees to help Lillie learn more about Nebby, contacting her husband [[Professor Kukui|Kukui]], who allows them to stay at [[Alola Route 1|his house]] for the time being.

====On Melemele Island====
[[File:Nebby SM.png|thumb|left|220px|Nebby's first appearance as a {{p|Cosmog}}]]
When the player gets to [[Iki Town]], Lillie can be seen talking to her bag, walking towards [[Mahalo Trail]], being interested in the [[Ruins of Conflict]]. Mistaking her for the [[island kahuna]] of [[Melemele Island]], the player follows her. Lillie appears to be worried, informing the player about Nebby being attacked by a group of {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Spearow}} on an unstable bridge. The player steps in to protect it, using their newly obtained [[first partner Pokémon]] to battle the Spearow. This causes Nebby to once again use its hidden powers, for protection, destroying the bridge. They are saved by {{p|Tapu Koko}}, the [[guardian deities|guardian deity]] of Melemele Island. Lillie thanks the player for their bravery and asks the player to not tell anybody about Nebby. She then scolds Nebby for using its power again despite being advised not to and tells it to return to her bag. At the Iki Town festival the following day, Nebby watches the player receive their [[Z-Power Ring]]. Nebby remains with Lillie both in and out of her drum bag when she introduces the player to {{rt|1|alola|Kukui's lab}}, the [[Rotom Pokédex]], the [[Pokémon Center]] on {{rt|1|Alola}}, the [[Pokémon academy|Trainers' School]], and [[Hau'oli City]] to the player.

When the player arrives at [[Melemele Meadow]], Lillie appears to have gotten lost and Nebby has escaped from Lillie's bag. Nebby wanders into the [[Seaward Cave]], where they are caught by the two figures found in the opening cutscene, two members of the [[Ultra Recon Squad]]. They battle the player, and tell them about Cosmog, allowing them to hold onto it and return Nebby back to Lillie. After the player has completed [[Hala]]'s trial, Nebby and Lillie accompany the player, Hau and Professor Kukui on his boat to Akala Island.

====On Akala Island====
The group makes it to [[Akala Island]], where they meet [[Trial Captain|Captain]] [[Mallow]] and Kahuna [[Olivia]], afraid by people she doesn't know, Lillie asks Nebby to return to her bag.

Lillie is impressed with the player's skill as a trainer, and instructs Nebby to use {{m|Splash}}, failing to understand and adhere to the commands that she gave it. The Cosmog curiously approaches the player, informing Lillie of the player's presence. Inside, Lillie explains to them of her and Nebby's history with Kukui and Burnet, how they treat her like their own daughter. Lillie eventually gets lost again and Professor Burnet brings her and Nebby to the Ruins of Life. Olivia suggests that Nebby must be powerful when it approaches {{p|Tapu Lele}}'s territory. Lillie willingly watches the grand trial and fight between Olivia and the player, saying that Nebby will likely enjoy it too. Hau returns to the group, informing the player that [[Faba]] of the [[Aether Foundation]] would like to take them to Aether Paradise. This causes Lillie to get uneasy, preferring to stay behind and will catch up with them later on Ula'ula Island.

====On Ula'ula Island====
On [[Ula'ula Island]], Lillie informs the player that she and Nebby intend to see the [[Ruins of Abundance]]. Before this, however, she requests the player to help do some research on Alola's history and legends at the [[Malie City]] Library, where she meets [[Hapu]] and [[Acerola]]. Lillie gets lost, accidentally running into an apparel shop instead. Acerola provides Lillie with a book from her father, called '''The Light of Alola''', talking about the region's [[light trio|Legendary Pokémon]]. As the player makes way to [[Aether House]] on {{rt|15|Alola}} it is revealed that Lillie has gone off on her own, separated from Hapu or Acerola, to see what it's like to travel on their own. In front of Aether House, Lillie is stopped by a {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}}, who noticed her bag moving. The player steps in and stops the grunts from hurting them. Lillie stays at Aether House, being protected and watched over by Hau, while the player does their trial with Acerola. The player then goes out to save a {{p|Yungoos}} from Team Skull, traveling to their headquarters in [[Po Town]]. This turns out to be a trick, and Lillie and Nebby are kidnapped by Team Skull in an operation led by Team Skull Admin [[Plumeria]]; who says that Team Skull aren't the only ones who steal Pokémon. With Hau being unable to protect the two, Lillie goes with them willing to Aether Paradise. Overhearing this conversation, [[Gladion]], who Hau and the player have encountered before, find out that it was Lillie who took Cosmog from Aether Paradise. Gladion gets upset and initiates a battle with the player, being irritated that he has told the two before that if anyone were to find out about Cosmog, a disaster could happen on Alola. He brings Hau and the player to Aether Paradise.

====On Aether Paradise====
At [[Aether Paradise]], Gladion instructs the player and Hau to research Secret Lab B, which is filled with research documents on the Cosmog species and [[Ultra Wormhole]]s from professor [[Mohn]]. After taking on Team Skull and their boss, [[Guzma]], the player manages to find Lillie, who is talking to the Aether Foundation's president, [[Lusamine]], a character they have encountered previously. Lusamine appears to have contained Nebby inside a cage. Lillie tries to reason with Lusamine, telling her that Nebby will die if she were to force it to use too much of its power. Lusamine rejects her proposal, saying that a daughter like her has no right to tell her what to do after she has rejected her love. During their conversation, Hau and Gladion catch up, and it has been revealed that Nebby was a subject to the Ultra Recon Squad and the Aether Foundation's experiments aiming at opening more [[Ultra Wormhole]]s and protect Alola from the danger of {{ga|Necrozma}} and the [[Ultra Beast]]s—experiments Lillie had originally saved it from with their escape seen during the opening cut scene. Lusamine begins to abuse Nebby's powers and opens an Ultra Wormhole across in the Trophy Room that they are currently standing in. After a battle with Lusamine, Lusamine and Guzma disappear into the Ultra Wormhole and it has been revealed that Nebby has [[Evolution|evolved]] into a {{p|Cosmoem}} (although no one is seemingly aware of this). Lillie is able to take Nebby, upset by its sudden transformation. The following day, Lillie changes her outfit, storing Cosmoem into her new pink rucksack that she got in Malie City.

====On Poni Island====
The player and Lillie go through [[Poni Island]] together like in the original Sun and Moon, playing the [[Sun Flute|Sun]] and [[Moon Flute]]s at Poni's altar, allowing Nebby to evolve into either Solgaleo{{sup/7|US}} or Lunala{{sup/7|UM}}. At this point, {{ga|Necrozma}} comes from an Ultra Wormhole behind them, and along with, Lusamine and Guzma are dumped onto the altar's floor. Lusamine tells Lillie and the two to get away from the danger that is Necrozma. In order to protect them, Nebby does battle with Necrozma, resulting in a loss. Necrozma pins down Nebby, and absorbs it for its light, turning Necrozma into [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Necrozma|Dusk Mane]]{{sup/7|US}}/[[List of Pokémon with form differences#Necrozma|Dawn Wings]]{{sup/7|UM}} Necrozma. Necrozma then proceeds to crate multiple Ultra Wormholes across Poni's altar and throughout the Alola region. Still hostile, Necrozma then attacks the player with possession of Nebby's body, initiating a battle. After defeat, Necrozma creates another Ultra Wormhole and escapes back to [[Ultra Megalopolis]]. Once the player defeats [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Necrozma|Ultra]] Necrozma at [[Megalo Tower]], Nebby is freed from Necrozma and returns to the Altar of the Sunne{{sup/7|US}}/Altar of the Moone{{sup/7|UM}}. Lusamine and Lillie thank the player and take Nebby back home to Aether Paradise to be treated.

Once the player defeats [[Ilima]] during [[Mina]]'s [[island challenge|trial]], they have the option of returning to the now-repaired plank bridge at Mahalo Trail, where Lillie will ask the player to take Nebby in their care, insisting that Nebby wishes to be with Necrozma if the player finds it. After Nebby is caught, Lillie will give the player a [[Solganium Z]]{{sup/7|US}}/[[Lunalium Z]]{{sup/7|UM}}, which she had found being held by Nebby.

[[File:CosmogCelebrations13.jpg|thumb|200px|right|As a {{p|Cosmog}}, Nebby was very childish and had to be babysitted by [[Lillie]]]]
Nebby is a {{p|Cosmog}} owned and nicknamed by [[Lillie]], forming as one of the central characters for Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. As like all Cosmog, it has has child-like behavior, and is in most cases, completely unaware of the world around it. It is incredibly curious and carefree to the point of even ignoring common orders. Despite this behavior, it is still trusting of certain people, such as Lillie. Nebby has an interest in [[Alola]]'s ruins and [[Guardian deities]], and because of this it attempts to leave Lillie's bag on its own, unknowing that it may risk itself to danger. In order to protect itself and the people around it, it will attempt to use its powers to either push objects away or teleport to new location. The first time of multiple, that it has used this power, Lillie explains that it was in order to help protect her,<ref>[[Lillie]], {{g|Sun and Moon}}: ''"No... I shouldn't say that. I'm sorry, Nebby... I know you were trying to save me that time... And I couldn't even help you in return..."''</ref> suggesting that it has good intentions, but has ignorance on its own health and safety. Nebby has an interest in Pokémon battles,<ref>[[Lillie]], {{g|Sun and Moon}}, before the player battles Olivia: ''"If it's all right with you, <player>, I think Nebby and I would like to watch, too."''</ref> despite this, it ignores commands and attacks from Lillie.<ref>[[Lillie]], {{g|Sun and Moon}}: ''"Go, Nebby! Use...use Splash!"''</ref> As a Cosmog, Nebby was subject to the [[Aether Foundation]]'s experiments, being used to create [[Ultra Wormhole]]s by either using its gases or by making it stressed. When it evolved into {{p|Cosmoem}}, like any of its kind, Nebby became expressionless and emotionless.
:''See also'': ''[[Solgaleo (Pokémon)]]''
:''See also'': ''[[Lunala (Pokémon)]]''
As a {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|SUS}} and {{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|MUM}}, Nebby has noticeably matured. It will listen to commands and attacks given to Lillie and the player, with its protective nature being more controlled, having a bigger grasp on its own powers. In Sun and Moon, Nebby has a taste for adventure, wishing to go on more adventures with the player and Lillie. Despite technically being classified as a [[wild Pokémon]], Nebby was considered to be Lillie's<ref>[[Professor Kukui]]: ''"Lillie, you two should come with us, too, yeah. Wouldn't want to go losing you twice in one day. You or that precious Pokémon of yours!"'' ({{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}).</ref> and is described as being her partner.<ref>[[Olivia]]: ''"I'll take you back to town, Lillie. You're doing everything you can for your partner, even though you're not a Trainer.[...]" ''({{g|Sun and Moon}}).</ref> Nebby has a child and mother-like relationship with Lillie, even after Evolution, where Lillie worries about it before she leaves it with the player. Lillie also makes the retort that the player will act as Nebby's parent, suggesting a similar relationship. At the [[Lake of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|SUS}} or the [[Lake of the Moone]]{{sup/7|MUM}}, bringing Nebby will result in it meeting with the opposite of its species in which it will create an offspring, a new Cosmog, for the player to obtain.

Nebby was first raised by the Aether Foundation before Lillie had taken it in. In [[Professor Kukui]]'s Pokémon Research lab on {{rt|1|alola}}, Lillie had taken care of Nebby in the loft, acting as Lillie's personal room. As a Cosmog, Nebby seems to have a bed placed in the loft that is chewed on by [[Professor Kukui's Lycanroc|Kukui's Rockruff]]. In the original Sun and Moon, this bed disappears after Lillie has decided to pack up and leave for [[Kanto]], while in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Lillie decides to stay in Alola, and Nebby's bed remains. In all versions, Nebby currently resides in the player's [[Poké Ball]] of choice after Lillie has decided to let the Pokémon go.

====Appearance====
Visually, Nebby appears identical to other members of its species in all its evolutionary forms.

Nebby will evolve throughout both Sun and Moon, and Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, evolving twice. At [[Aether Paradise]], Nebby will evolve into Cosmoem after suffering intense stress from the machine [[Lusamine]] used to open [[Ultra Wormhole]]s. At the [[Altar of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|SUS}}/[[Altar of the Moone]]{{sup/7|MUM}} Nebby will evolve into a Solgaleo{{sup/7|SUS}}/Lunala{{sup/7|MUM}} after the {{player}} and [[Lillie]] play the [[Sun Flute|Sun]] and [[Moon Flute]]s.

In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Nebby was also [[Pokémon fusion|absorbed]] by {{ga|Necrozma}} at the Altar of the Sunne{{sup/7|US}}/Altar of the Moone{{sup/7|UM}}, eclipsing its mind and becoming Dusk Mane{{sup/7|US}}/Dawn Wings{{sup/7|UM}} Necrozma.

===In battle===
While Lillie has instructed Nebby to use {{m|Splash}}, it is unclear whether or not it is capable of doing so.

In Sun and Moon, Nebby is obtainable at the [[Altar of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|S}} or [[Altar of the Moone]]{{sup/7|M}}. Nebby is coded to never be [[shiny]]. Nebby is required to be caught to progress the story. If the player has no available Poké Balls, Lillie will provide the player with ten normal {{i|Poké Ball}}s.

In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Nebby is obtainable at [[Mahalo Trail]] at a higher level, after the player has completed the main story. Nebby is coded to never be shiny. The fight and dialogue are activated as soon as the player enters the area and is required to be fought upon start. If the player has no available Poké Balls, Lillie will provide the player with ten normal {{i|Poké Ball}}s. After the battle, Lillie provides the player with the corresponding [[Z-Crystal]], [[Solganium Z]]{{sup/7|US}}/[[Lunalium Z]]{{sup/7|UM}}.

'''Ash's Solgaleo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''サトシのソルガレオ''' ''Satoshi's Solgaleo''), [[nickname]]d '''Nebby''' (Japanese: '''ほしぐもちゃん''' ''Hoshigumo-chan'') by {{an|Lillie}}, is a [[List of recurring wild Pokémon in the animated series|recurring Pokémon character]] in {{aniseries|SM}} taken care of by {{Ash}}, and his fifty-second Pokémon overall.

====History====
====={{aniseries|SM}}=====
[[File:Tapus and Nebby.png|thumb|250px|left|Cosmog being left by the {{an|guardian deities}} in order to be found by [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]]]]
Nebby debuted in ''[[SM044|A Dream Encounter!]]''. It first appeared in {{Ash}}'s dream, where it was created by {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}} at the [[Altar of the Sunne]]. It was taken to [[Melemele Island]] by the [[guardian deities]] of [[Alola]], where {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Koko}} led Ash to where it was sleeping. Taking it to the [[Pokémon School]], Ash and {{ashcl}} found that the unusual Pokémon emitted a high-pitched scream whenever it cried. Eventually calming it down, Ash decided to take care of Cosmog, which {{an|Lillie}} [[nickname]]d Nebby. When Ash brought it home with Lillie, it met {{an|Professor Burnet}}, {{an|Lusamine}}, [[Wicke]], and {{an|Faba}}, who revealed that Nebby could be an [[Ultra Beast]]. Lusamine later offered to take Nebby with her to [[Aether Paradise]], but Ash declined because of his promise to take care of Nebby. Lusamine gave in and entrusted Nebby's safety with Ash.

In ''[[SM048|Night of A Thousand Poses!]]'', Nebby teleported Lillie to Gladion, which prompted Lillie's fear of touching Pokémon to return. As a result, she lost her ability to touch her {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Vulpix}}, [[Snowy]].

In ''[[SM050|Faba's Revenge!]]'', it was lured out of Ash's bag by Faba, who convinced it to teleport him back to Aether Foundation's sealed lab. After arriving, Faba captured it in a device designed to keep it from teleporting. Faba intended to use Nebby's power to open an [[Ultra Wormhole]], but he was stopped by Ash's Pikachu and {{an|Gladion}}'s {{p|Umbreon}}. However, after being released, Nebby evolved into {{p|Cosmoem}}, and the residual energy from the Evolution caused a Wormhole to appear anyway.
[[File:Nebby Ultra Wormhole.png|thumb|250px|left|Solgaleo taking its [[Ash's friends|friends]] to [[Ultra Space]] to save [[Lusamine]]]]
Nebby was brought to the Altar of the Sunne by Ash in ''[[SM051|Family Determination!]]''. In [[SM052|the next episode]], Ash gave Nebby to the Tapu, asking for their help. After being blessed by {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Lele}} and {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Fini}}, the four deities sung at the Altar, opening the mechanism within and causing Nebby to evolve into {{p|Solgaleo}}, much to the surprise of everyone present. After greeting the others warmly, Solgaleo accepted Ash, Lillie, and Gladion's plea to help {{an|Lusamine}}, giving Ash a [[Solganium Z]]. After having his [[Z-Ring]] upgraded to a [[Z-Power Ring]] by the Tapu, Ash and the others climbed on Solgaleo's back, and using the power of the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Searing Sunraze Smash}}, created an [[Ultra Wormhole]] to travel to the place Lusamine awaited them.

After arriving in the [[Ultra Deep Sea]] in ''[[SM053|Rescuing the Unwilling!]]'', Solgaleo and Ash cornered Lusamine during [[SM054|the following episode]]. As a result, Lusamine flooded their island with a poisonous liquid. Due to Solgaleo's {{type|Steel}} giving it immunity to poison, it protected Ash from the liquid, and then carried him across it, dodging Lusamine's attacks along the way. After that, it went back with [[Ash's Lycanroc]] to help the others fight off Lusamine's Pokémon, who continued to heal themselves due to the Nihilego's energy. Everyone later succeeded after Lusamine was freed from Nihilego's control by Ash. Solgaleo then carried the group, now joined by the revived Lusamine, back to the Altar of the Sunne. After the conclusion of the episode, it parted from the group.

In ''[[SM055|The Professors' New Adventure!]]'', Solgaleo appeared above the site of {{an|Professor Kukui}} and Professor Burnet's wedding. The class thanked it for its help in [[Ultra Space]], to which it smiled back at them.
[[File:Nebby vs Necrozma.png|thumb|250px|Solgaleo battling {{form|Necrozma|Dawn Wings}} {{an|Necrozma}}]]
In ''[[SM087|Filling the Light with Darkness!]]'', Solgaleo and {{OBP|Lunala|anime}} were playing in an [[Ultra Wormhole]] when they were attacked by a {{OBP|Necrozma|anime}}. They fled as Necrozma pursued them through the Ultra Wormhole. It eventually wound up being injured by one of Necrozma's attacks and was left behind.

In ''[[SM088|Full Moon and Many Arms!]]'', Solgaleo arrived in Alola, where it met up with Ash again and fought {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dawn Wings Necrozma}} in an effort to free Lunala from its control. With its {{m|Sunsteel Strike}}, Solgaleo managed to knock Necrozma off of Lunala, causing it to break apart and fall into the sea. Shortly after, the elite [[Team Rocket]] unit, the [[Matori Matrix]], attacked Solgaleo and Lunala by trapping them in an electrified net. After being freed by Ash's Pikachu and [[Gladion's Silvally]], Solgaleo retaliated by attacking the unit's aircraft, forcing them to retreat. Immediately after, Necrozma emerged from the sea and possessed Solgaleo, causing it to become {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dusk Mane Necrozma}}. Ash tried to free Solgaleo, but was unable to stop Necrozma, and it fled into an Ultra Wormhole.
[[File:Ash Nebby Gladion Lunala.png|thumb|250px|left|Solgaleo and Ash teaming up with Lunala and Gladion]]
In ''[[SM089|The Prism Between Light and Darkness!]]'', Solgaleo remained fused with Necrozma. The Ultra Guardians, with Lunala's help, pursued Necrozma to [[Ash's Poipole]]'s [[Poipole's world|home world]], and learned that Necrozma was preying on the two [[Legendary Pokémon]] in order to absorb their light and restore itself to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Ultra form}}. After being asked by {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Naganadel}} to save Necrozma, Ash, {{an|Kiawe}}, {{an|Lana}}, and Gladion attempted to use their Z-Moves to supply Necrozma with Ultra Aura and separate it from Solgaleo. [[SM090|However]], they were only successful in making it more powerful. Communication between the Guardians and their home base was soon reestablished. After Lusamine, Wicke, and Professor Burnet shared what they knew, they arranged for the people and Pokémon attending the [[Manalo Festival]] to follow the lead of the [[guardian deities]] and share a portion of their Ultra Aura with Necrozma. Combined with the Ultra Aura of the Ultra Guardians and their Pokémon, Necrozma received enough light to separate from Solgaleo. Solgaleo then joined forces with Ash, Gladion, and Lunala, giving Necrozma one last boost of power with the combined Ultra Aura of their [[signature move|signature]] [[Z-Move]]s, {{m|Searing Sunraze Smash}} and {{m|Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom}}. Through these efforts, Necrozma's strength was finally restored. After Ash and Pikachu bade farewell to Poipole, Solgaleo and Lunala led the Ultra Guardians back to Alola.
[[File:Ash Alola Pokémon JN132.png|thumb|250px|Solgaleo encouraging {{TP|Ash|Pikachu}} in a vision]]
In ''[[SM146|Thank You, Alola! The Journey Continues!]]'', Solgaleo returned to Alola to say goodbye to Ash, before taking him on a trip through Ultra Space. There, they came across an {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|unknown Ultra Beast}} off-screen.

====={{aniseries|JN}}=====
In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Solgaleo appeared as a vision to Pikachu during his battle against [[Leon's Charizard]].

====Personality and characteristics====
[[File:Ash and Nebby.png|thumb|250px|left|Solgaleo and Ash]]
In the original Japanese version of the {{pkmn|animated series}}, Nebby's official nickname is simply '''ほしぐも''' ''Hoshigumo'', as opposed to ''Hoshigumo-chan''. The ''-chan'' {{wp|Japanese honorifics|honorific}} is still used occasionally, with "Little Nebby" being used instead of Hoshigumo-chan in the English [[dub]]. In ''[[SM045|Now You See Them, Now You Don't!]]'', {{TRT}} caught sight of the unidentified Pokémon while Ash was buying donuts from their food truck. [[James]] surmised that the unknown Pokémon was the [[baby Pokémon|pre-evolved]] form of {{p|Koffing}}, and named it '''Protokoffing''' (Japanse '''プチドガース''' ''Puchidogars''). This led to confusion when the trio saw Cosmoem in ''[[SM052|Revealing the Stuff of Legend!]]'', causing James to assume that there was an intermediary phase it evolves into in Alola, which he dubbed '''Nanokoffing''' (Japanese '''カタドガース''' ''Katadogas''), but this was ultimately debunked when they witnessed "Nanokoffing" evolve into the {{pkmn2|Legendary}} Solgaleo. After its final Evolution, Ash and his classmates typically refer to it by its proper name, Solgaleo.
[[File:Nebby crying.png|thumb|250px|Nebby crying as a {{p|Cosmog}}]]
As a {{p|Cosmog}}, Nebby shared many traits with human babies. It slept and cried a lot, but was easy to amuse and was naturally curious. Its cries were quite powerful, and they caused nearby people and Pokémon to cover their ears. In ''[[SM047|A Masked Warning!]]'', its cries were so powerful, it sent Pikachu flying back into a tree. Nebby was a very fussy eater and appears to have a preference for '''star candy''' (Japanese '''コンペイト''' ''{{wp|konpeitō}}''). It was also ticklish and enjoys playing hide-and-seek, as shown respectively in ''[[SM044|A Dream Encounter!]]'' and ''[[SM048|Night of a Thousand Poses!]]''.
[[File:Ash Rowlet Nebby backpack.png|thumb|250px|left|Nebby sleeping with {{TP|Ash|Rowlet}} in Ash's backpack]]
In ''[[SM045|Now You See Them, Now You Don't!]]'', it was shown that Nebby tends to {{m|teleport}} people to places they are thinking or talking about. {{Rotom}} surmises this is because it knew little about the world around it, so it had to depend on telepathy and other people to develop its abilities. By the end of the episode, it had become attached enough to Ash, to the point where it would willingly teleport to him on its own whenever they are separated.

After evolving into {{p|Cosmoem}}, Nebby hardly spoke, moved, or emoted, reflective of its cocoon-like state. However, after evolving into {{p|Solgaleo}}, it appeared to have grown into a more mature version of itself physically and mentally, letting Lillie hug it, happily accepting the Star candy from Ash, and licking him affectionately. As a Solgaleo, it can create Ultra Wormholes at will with the help of a Trainer with a [[Z-Power Ring]], a Solganium Z, and its Z-Move, Searing Sunraze Smash.

'''Lunala''' (Japanese: '''ルナアーラ''' ''Lunala''), [[nickname]]d '''Nebby''' (Japanese: '''ほしぐもちゃん''' ''Hoshigumo-chan'') by [[Lillie]], is a [[Legendary Pokémon]] and a member of the [[light trio]] that lives in the [[Alola]] [[region]].

====History====
====={{MangaArc|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}=====
Nebby first appeared as a Pokémon in [[Lillie]]'s care. It was one of two {{p|Cosmog}} obtained by the [[Aether Foundation]] for the purpose of opening [[Ultra Wormhole]]s. Fearing for its safety, Lillie took one of the Cosmog and escaped from [[Aether Paradise]], completely unaware there were actually two the entire time.

Nebby first appeared in ''[[PASM04|The Decision and the Tournament of Six]]'', where it escaped from Lillie's bag and ran off to [[Mahalo Trail]], and was attacked by a group of wild {{p|Spearow}}. Lillie was too scared to help it, so {{adv|Moon}} stepped in to save Nebby in her place. When she got to Nebby, it retaliated against the Spearow by releasing a shockwave, causing the bridge they were standing on to break apart underneath them. Moon and Nebby were rescued from falling in the water by {{p|Tapu Koko}}, who caught the two and brought them back to safe land.

In ''[[PASM14|Flash and Cosmog's Secret]]'', [[Professor Burnet]] accidentally caused Lillie to recall painful memories of a traumatic experience caused by her mother, [[Lusamine]]. Lillie's distress caused Nebby to fly out of her bag and begin clawing at the sky, nearly creating an [[Ultra Wormhole]]. After Lillie fainted, Nebby stopped and went down to check on her out of concern.

In ''[[PASM17|A Raid and Po Town]]'', after {{adv|Sun}} completed his second trial at the {{OBP|Thrifty Megamart|Abandoned Site}}, he thanked the {{adv|Rotom Pokédex}} for its help in the battle where it gave information about {{p|Tapu Bulu}}. To Sun and Lillie's surprise, Rotom revealed it learned about Tapu Bulu from Nebby. Hoping that Rotom could translate Nebby's speech and speed up his job to deliver [[Mirage Berry|Mirage Berries]] to each of Alola's [[guardian deities]], Sun tried to get Nebby to come out. To their shock, Nebby emerged from Lillie's bag in the form of the motionless, cocoon-like {{p|Cosmoem}}.

[[PASM23|Later]], after arriving on [[Poni Island]], Lillie and [[Gladion]] took Nebby with them as they traveled to the [[Poni Altar]]. A {{p|Xurkitree}} attacked the duo as they passed through [[Poni Wilds]], forcing Gladion to battle it with {{TP|Gladion|Silvally}}. During the clash, Nebby flew out of Gladion's grasp and into the air where it reunited with its fellow Cosmog, who had also evolved into Cosmoem. The two Protostar Pokémon flew towards the Altar. Upon [[PASM24|arriving]], the guardian deities took Sun and Moon and placed them on the Altar with the [[Sun Flute|Sun]] and [[Moon Flute]]s. By playing the flutes together, Sun and Moon caused the Altar to react and release a light that hit both Cosmoem.

The light caused Nebby and the other Cosmoem to evolve into {{p|Lunala}} and {{p|Solgaleo}}, respectively. With its newly-gained power, Lunala put Moon on its head and helped fend off the [[Ultra Beast]]s that had arrived to attack the Poni Altar. Shortly after, a larger than usual Ultra Wormhole appeared at the Altar with a {{p|Necrozma}}'s hand emerging from it. The hand took control of Solgaleo's body. The possessed Solgaleo grabbed Sun with its tail and jumped into the wormhole. Lunala activated its third eye and flew into the wormhole with Moon still on its head.
[[File:Lunala Moongeist Beam Zygarde Core Enforcer Adventures.png|thumb|250px|left|Lunala, {{adv|Solgaleo}}, and {{adv|Zygarde}} defeating {{adv|Necrozma}}]]
Some time after arriving in [[Ultra Space]], Lunala got separated from Moon and Sun. At some point, it came in contact with the [[Ultra Recon Squad]], who used Lunala to traverse through Ultra Space via [[Ultra Warp Ride]]. At the [[Ultra Deep Sea]], Lunala [[PASM26|reunited]] with Moon and Sun, who had been trapped in the area for six months. After agreeing to work together, Sun, Moon, and [[Zossie]] rode on Lunala's back so they could return to Alola. [[Dulse]] stayed behind as Lunala couldn't carry more than three people on it. Zossie taught Sun how to use Ultra Warp Ride and told him and Moon about the various worlds the Ultra Beasts come from. After passing through an Ultra Wormhole, the three arrived at the Ultra Recon Squad's home world, the [[Ultra Megalopolis]].

[[PASM28|Shortly after landing]], a {{p|Stakataka}} appeared, hoping to battle with Necrozma. After it captured Sun, Stakataka attacked Moon, but she was protected by Lunala. Moon commanded Lunala to battle Stakataka, but it was unable to use its full strength without risking Sun's safety. By firing an arrow at the [[Zygarde Cube]] in Sun's bag, Moon released several {{adv|Zygarde}} {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Zygarde|Cells}} that stuck onto Stakataka's eyes, blinding it and allowing Lunala to easily finish it off. The battle alerted Necrozma, who released Solgaleo and leapt from the [[Megalo Tower]] to try and absorb Lunala. Lunala tried fighting back, but was overpowered. Sun and Moon sent out their Pokémon to help, but were stopped by Lusamine. [[PASM30|Eventually]], Lunala was absorbed by Necrozma, causing the latter to become its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dawn Wings}} form.

After successfully fusing, Lusamine attempts to capture Necrozma. Necrozma managed to flee to the top of Megalo Tower and opened an Ultra Wormhole that lead to [[Mount Lanakila]]. Once entering Alola, Necrozma absorbed the rest of Lunala's energy and released it onto Mount Lanakila. [[PASM35|Eventually]], Lunala woke up and reunited with Moon at Aether Paradise's Secret Labs. The two traveled back to Mount Lanakila and linked their auras. Moon gave Solgaleo a [[Max Revive]] while her {{TP|Moon|Decidueye}} stopped Necrozma's movements with {{m|Spirit Shackle}}. With Necrozma's movements stopped, Lunala teamed up with Solgaleo and Zygarde and defeated the Prism Pokémon.

====Personality and characteristics====
As a {{p|Cosmog}}, Lunala was easily overwhelmed and would often become frightened in stressful situations. When afraid, it would accidentally open [[Ultra Wormhole]]s. Despite this, it would still try its hardest to protect others from danger. After [[evolving]] into a Lunala, the Moone Pokémon became much more brave, quickly jumping in to save others. Lunala has developed a close bond with [[Lillie]], {{adv|Sun}}, and {{adv|Moon}}.

'''Byron's Bastiodon''' (Japanese: '''トウガンのトリデプス''' ''Tougan's Torideps'') is [[Byron]]'s main battling {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the {{pkmn|games}}, {{pkmn|animation}}, and {{pkmn|manga}}.

==In animation==
===''Pokémon the Series''===
====History====
[[File:Byron and Bastiodon.png|thumb|150px|left|Bastiodon and Byron]]
Prior to the start of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'', Byron revived Bastiodon from an Armor Fossil and evolved Shieldon into a Bastiodon.

Bastiodon first appeared in ''[[DP107|Ancient Family Matters!]]'', where Byron used it to battle against his son [[Roark]] and his {{TP|Roark|Rampardos}}. Roark started the fight by having Rampardos repeatedly using {{m|Zen Headbutt}}, which was countered by Bastiodon's {{m|Iron Defense}}. Bastiodon then went on the offense and used {{m|Flamethrower}}, which was dodged. Rampardos attacked with a powerful {{m|Head Smash}}, which Bastiodon combatted with {{m|Iron Head}}. At a standstill, the two attacked with Flamethrower and {{m|Flash Cannon}}. Rampardos began to show signs of fatigue, but an alarm went off in the [[Gym]], causing the battle to be called off.

The alarm was revealed to be caused by {{TRT}}, who had stolen the Fossils from the Gym. Byron and Roark teamed up and had Bastiodon and Rampardos attack the mecha Team Rocket was using, but the attacks caused no damage. {{MTR}} begans to throw chunks of earth at them, causing the two to retreat. Bastiodon stepped in and took the attacks, allowing Rampardos to attack the machine. Worried that they may not survive much more, Team Rocket attempted to flee, only to be hit by Bastiodon and Rampardos. The attack created an opening for [[Ash's Pikachu]] to use {{m|Thunderbolt}}, destroying the machine.
[[File:Roark Rampardos and Byron Bastiodon.png|thumb|220px|Bastiodon and Rampardos]]
In ''[[DP108|Dealing With Defensive Types!]]'', Bastiodon was used as Byron's last Pokémon in his Gym battle against {{Ash}}, fighting against his {{TP|Ash|Chimchar}}. Wanting to end the battle quickly, Ash had Chimchar use Flamethrower. Bastiodon stand its ground and used Iron Defense to handle the attack and then used {{m|Metal Burst}} to send the damage back, knocking Chimchar out. Next, it faced {{TP|Ash|Gliscor}}, who started the battle with {{m|Steel Wing}} from behind, which Bastiodon countered with Iron Defense. It then tried {{m|Fire Fang}}, only to be countered by Flash Cannon. While recovering, Bastiodon went on the offense and striked with Iron Head multiple times. Although weakened, Gliscor managed to get close enough to Bastiodon to grab on to it from behind, allowing it to use consecutive Fire Fangs. Bastiodon shook it off and attacked with Flash Cannon, but it missed when Gliscor used its tail to knock Bastiodon over. Bastiodon managed to hit the Fang Scorpion Pokémon with another Iron Head, but was finally defeated when Gliscor got behind it again and used Fire Fang.

Bastiodon also appeared alongside Byron during the credits of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

====Personality and characteristics====
Like most of its species, Bastiodon is incredibly defensive, able to withstand many attacks, even having the upper hand in battle against Rampardos, a highly offensive Pokémon. It is Byron's favorite Fossil Pokémon and as a result is his most trusted teammate.

====Moves used====

Byron had a {{p|Shieldon}} that first appeared in ''[[PS348|A Big Stink Over Stunky]]''. Due to the [[Pokémon category|Shield Pokémon]]'s stubborn nature, Byron was unable to bond with him. He eventually gave him to {{adv|Diamond}}, due to Shieldon liking the Trainer. Shieldon has since evolved into Bastiodon and been [[nickname]]d Don.

'''Gibeon''' (Japanese: '''ギベオン''' ''Gibeon'') is a recurring character and the main antagonist of {{aniseries|HZ}}. He is the current leader of the [[Explorers]], one of its founders, as well as the founder and chairman of [[Exceed]]. Additionally, he is [[Amethio]]'s grandfather.

==History==
===Pre-series===
[[File:The original Explorers.png|250px|left|thumb|Gibeon, [[Lucius]], and [[Rystal]], the original [[Explorers]]]]
100 years prior to the events of the series, Gibeon was a traveling {{pkmn|Trainer}} searching for the Pokémon paradise [[Laqua]] alongside his {{shiny|White}} {{p|Zygarde}}. One day, while at a saloon, he overheard two other patrons deriding a pair of travelers who had come to ask for information regarding Laqua. He presented them with an extensive document of all the research he had conducted proving Laqua existed. Later, the two travelers, [[Lucius]] and [[Rystal]], invited him to accompany them on their {{pkmn|journey}} to locate the paradise, and he agreed. The group adopted the name of the [[Explorers]] and traveled around the {{pkmn|world}}, ultimately locating Laqua after several days lost at sea.
[[File:Younger Gibeon.png|250px|right|thumb|Younger Gibeon]]
In Laqua, Gibeon studied the local Pokémon, seeking to understand what could have created such a lush environment. The trio pushed on deeper into Laqua, discovering evidence of plant life that had withered from an unknown force. They eventually came across a growth of pink crystals named [[Laquium]] that generate a pink mist. Gibeon approached the growth to take a sample, observing the intense levels of energy the crystal possessed. Lucius, fearing what kind of effect the crystals could have on his group, instructed Gibeon and Rystal to leave Laqua with him, while Rystal agreed, Gibeon did not listen. Driven mad by the power of the mist, Gibeon used Zygarde in an attempt to force more crystals to grow, unleashing more mist in the process. The mist, in turn, caused the Pokémon nearby to begin rampaging, forcing Lucius and Rystal to fight them off. Zygarde, realizing the effect the mist was having on its Trainer, shed some of its cells in an attempt to seal the crystals' energy away, but this measure failed. The crystals' explosive growth ruptured the ground beneath Gibeon's feet, causing him to fall into a fissure. Following his fall, Rystal's {{p|Terapagos}} [[Pagogo]] and Lucius's Pokémon the [[Six Heroes]] worked together to seal the Laquium inside a giant energy barrier, Lucius was trapped inside it and Rystal left the paradise.

Gibeon's role in Lucius's adventures was largely forgotten overtime. However, he survived the fall thanks to the Laquium shard he had with him, the sun was blotted out for three days due to the explosion in Laqua and once the sun reappeared, Gibeon left the paradise, walking down the [[Kumuri Mountain]] and into [[Kumuri Town]], where his injuries were treated by the mother of a {{OBP|Matriarch|HZ084|3 year old girl}}. Thanks to the power of the Laquium shard he had, he managed to expand his lifespan through the mist it produced. During this time, he organized the modern incarnation of the Explorers and founded the [[Paldea]] company known as [[Exceed]] to serve as the group's scientific research front, specifically on Laquium. Since then, he sought to return to Laqua and harvest the Laquium to better the lives of both [[human]]s and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

He later met [[Hamber]], who had become lost and aimless in his path as an adventurer, but Gibeon guided and recruited him into the Explorers. He also sought to recruit Hamber's old friend [[Diana]], Lucius and Rystal's granddaughter, but she turned down Hamber's invitation. At one point, Gibeon also got married and fathered a [[Amethio's mother|daughter]], who would grow up and marry a man named [[Cervantis]]. Cervantis joined the Explorers and was apparently tasked with carrying on Gibeon's legacy, but through unknown circumstances, Cervantis strayed from this path and failed to live up to Gibeon's expectations, eventually being expelled from the Explorers. Cervantis and Gibeon's daughter had a child of their own, [[Amethio]], who Gibeon later brought into the Explorers with the same task, to find Laqua once again. At some point, Gibeon's daughter died in a car accident, but his reaction to this event is currently unknown.

==={{aniseries|HZ}}===
[[File:Explorers Admins HZ006.png|thumb|250px|left|Gibeon communicating with the [[Explorers]] admins]]
Gibeon was mentioned for the first time in ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', when [[Hamber]] questioned [[Amethio]] about the results of his mission.

In ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', Gibeon appeared communicating with his Admins regarding Amethio's mission to [[Roy's hometown]]. Believing that Amethio did not carry out his mission properly, he dismissed him and sent [[Spinel]] to investigate the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]. When all the members left the meeting, Hamber and Gibeon realized that they had finally found their true purpose.

In ''[[HZ025|Rivals in the Dark of Night!]]'', Gibeon contacted Hamber during the events in [[Galar]]. After the battle ended, Hamber was seen talking to Gibeon again by the monolith, informing him that events had finally begun to move again. Gibeon, in response, expressed that their wishes would soon come true.

In ''[[HZ034|Respective Departures]]'', Amethio sought an audience with Gibeon following his mission with the [[Black Rayquaza]] in the [[HZ033|previous episode]]. Gibeon, awakening, spoke to Amethio about the battle and inquired how he felt while fighting Rayquaza. After Amethio claimed that he felt Rayquaza was not taking the battle seriously, Gibeon suggested that it was either testing him or toying with him, then informed Amethio that Rayquaza and {{TP|Liko|Terapagos}} were the keys to his paradise, Laqua.
[[File:Gibeon debut HZ045.png|250px|thumb|right|Gibeon in his chamber, using [[Laquium]] mist to keep himself young]]
Gibeon made his first physical appearance in ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]''. He presided over another meeting of the Explorers following the failure of their plan to collectively battle the Black Rayquaza. In the light of their failure, he ordered a change of tactics, directing his subordinates to spy on the Rising Volt Tacklers and allow them to gather the Six Heroes, while also ordering [[Coral]] and the others to monitor Liko and Terapagos. Following the conclusion of the meeting, Gibeon was seen in his personal chamber, musing to himself about his desire to return to Laqua and how [[Lucius]]'s adventure wasn't yet over.

In ''[[HZ054|The Treasure of Eternity]]'', Gibeon summoned Amethio to meet with him in-person. During this meeting, it was revealed that Amethio was Gibeon's grandson, and his heir in the search for Laqua. Amethio swore he would prove himself worthy of carrying Gibeon's blood by finding the paradise and the [[Laquium]] within, thus succeeding where his father, Gibeon's son, had failed.

In ''[[HZ065|Liko and Amethio]]'', after an operation against the Rising Volt Tacklers concluded in [[Glaseado Mountain]], Spinel presented evidence that Amethio had betrayed the organization by allowing Liko to leave with Terapagos. The other admins believed his claim, while Hamber was willing to listen to his defence. Before Amethio could explain anything, Gibeon chimed in, questioning whether Amethio was straying from the path much like his own son did. He then made the decision to expel Amethio, seemingly unaware that he was being manipulated by Spinel and coldly told his grandson not to show his face again after his explusion.
[[File:Gibeon wheelchair.png|250px|thumb|left|Gibeon moving on his wheelchair]]
In [[HZ075]], Liko and the Rising Volt Tacklers learned about the Explorers' past from Rystal after summoning her through time at the [[Crystal Pool]]. Gibeon was later seen resting in his chamber while Spinel and [[Chalce]] schemed to usurp the position at his side once he returned to Laqua.

In [[HZ083]], Gibeon was informed by [[Sidian]] that the Rising Volt Tacklers had successfully obtained the Six Heroes, restored Terapagos to full strength, and had left to find Laqua. He told the Explorers that they would ambush the Rising Volt Tacklers in Laqua once the seal had been lifted. Later, in a meeting with Spinel and Chalce, Gibeon expressed his joy at the anticipation of finally obtaining more Laquium.

In [[HZ086]], with the barrier to Laqua removed, Gibeon began heading towards where the Laquium was located. Accompanied only by his Zygarde, Gibeon muttered to himself about finally achieving his goals as he approached his destination.

In [[HZ087]], Gibeon made it to the Laquium and witnessed Zygarde retrieve its missing Cells, allowing it to become its 50% Forme. He ordered Zygarde to unearth a large cluster of crystals, but was interrupted by Amethio, who warned him of Spinel's actions. Gibeon ignored his grandson's words and continued mining the Laquium, but to his shock, a still-living Lucius emerged from the crystals. Lucius revealed that through its Cells, Zygarde kept him informed of events happening in the modern day world outside of Laqua. Furious at this apparent betrayal, Gibeon had the Explorers use one of Spinel's machines to stimulate the Laquium, causing it to expand uncontrollably like it did a hundred years prior. Though their views regarding Laquium differed, Zygarde agreed to fight alongside Gibeon in order to battle Amethio and the Rising Volt Tacklers.
{{-}}
==Character==
In the past, Gibeon was a determined, scientifically-minded adventurer. He habitually gathered volumes of information on his goals, recording all of his research into Laqua on a scroll that reached a significant length. He also did not tolerate what he deemed as foolishness regarding topics such as whether Laqua existed or not. Although he was generally flat emotionally, he did display some signs of appreciation and happiness during his time with [[Lucius]] and [[Rystal]]. When the three [[Explorers]] reached Laqua, he immediately tried to satisfy his scientific curiosity, seeking to understand how the paradise gained its rich environment.
[[File:Gibeon obsession over Laquium.png|250px|thumb|right|Gibeon's obsession with Laquium's power]]
However, following his exposure to the mist given off by the Laquium, Gibeon's character changed significantly for the worse. He grew maniacal and reckless in his efforts to cultivate more Laquium, behaving in a way that displayed no concern over the rampaging Pokémon around him or the risk to the world posed by the Laquium's growth. When his {{p|Zygarde}} turned against him and tried to seal the Laquium, he grew enraged and berated Zygarde for its betrayal. He also came to view Lucius's attempts to seal away the Laquium as a personal betrayal as well. In his obsession with the Laquium, he has come to believe that the destruction of the world by its growth would be an acceptable price to pay in creating a new order of only those strong enough to withstand its effects.

In the present, he initially appears to be a calm, detached leader, mostly delegating the day-to-day work of running the Explorers to [[Hamber]]. He tends to directly involve himself only when major events relating to his goals take place, and is pragmatic in managing his resources at these times, as seen when he replaces [[Amethio]] with [[Spinel]] on the mission to obtain Liko's pendant. When he discovered that Hamber, [[Coral]], and [[Sidian]] had gone to [[Galar]] in an attempt to confront the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]], he immediately contacted Hamber; however, he later overlooked this insubordination due to the value of the intelligence they had gathered. He is generally cold-hearted and callous, displaying a willingness to do anything regardless of morality to achieve his goals. Gibeon is also secretive in his activity; few know that he is the chairman of Exceed and no employees are known to have ever met him face-to-face.

His hatred of betrayal remains, however, and is no stronger than it is with his family members. Gibeon disowned and exiled his son-in-law from the Explorers when he strayed from the path of Gibeon's wishes, and did the same after discovering his grandson Amethio's apparent betrayal. He did not allow Amethio a chance to defend himself, instead assuming that he was going down the same path as Cervantis and dismissed him, considering him a disgrace for his actions. Gibeon's subordinates hold him in high, almost reverential regard, typically referring to him as "Master Gibeon", behaving in a highly deferential way when in his presence, and identifying the Explorers as "only existing to fulfill" his wishes. His followers must specifically seek out time when they wish to speak to him, for which he awakens until he chooses to conclude that subordinate's audience with him.

In [[HZ083]], it was shown that despite Gibeon being over 100 years old, he has aged slowly. Due to his advanced age, Gibeon's health is very poor, which causes him to be confined to an advanced wheelchair in a room filled with a mist resembling that given off by Laquium. When he does meet with someone directly instead of using his holographic monolith, they must speak with him from the other side of a barrier and cannot enter his chamber. In [[HZ086]] and [[HZ087]], Gibeon is shown to have little mobility and rely on the use of his motorized wheelchair to navigate Laqua. He cannot stand up on his own without the use of a special mechanism built into his clothing, which refines raw Laquium into mist that revitalizes his frail body and gives him strength.

Gibeon has a complicated relationship with Rystal and Lucius. After the events in Laqua, since his companions were against his ideals of using Laquium to improve people and Pokémon's lives, Gibeon took their interference as a betrayal and that they did not understand his ideals. After he reunited with Lucius in the present day, Gibeon still resented him for what happened, but Lucius says they never wanted to betray him and wished they could've talked more back then.

| desc = The '''{{shiny|White}} {{p|Zygarde}}''' (Japanese: '''白いジガルデ''' ''White Zygarde'') was Gibeon's only known Pokémon. It was usually seen at Gibeon's side, out of its [[Poké Ball]]. It was kept in an unnamed, silver, mechanical-looking Poké Ball.

100 years prior to the events of the series, Gibeon and his Zygarde, in its 50% Forme at the time, travelled alongside [[Lucius]] and [[Rystal]] to the Pokémon paradise [[Laqua]]. There, Gibeon attempted to extract the [[Laquium]] crystals for their otherworldly properties. Seeing how dangerous they truly were, Zygarde went against its Trainer's orders and attempted to seal it away with 40% of its [[Zygarde Cell|Cells]]. Though this attempt failed, [[Pagogo]] transformed into its [[Stellar Form]] and succeeded in sealing the crystals away, along with Lucius and the aforementioned Cells.

Since then, Zygarde remained in its 10% Forme, and remained Gibeon's partner Pokémon despite its "betrayal" in Laqua. It kept Lucius informed of the events surrounding the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]], the Explorers, and their attempts to reach Laqua. It also left one Cell in the care of [[Hamber]]; [[Amethio]] speculated that this was a sign of Gibeon's trust in him.

In [[HZ087]], Zygarde returned to Laqua and regained its Cells, transforming back into its 50% Forme in the process. As Gibeon commanded it to dig up more Laquium, it rammed itself into the mass of crystals, revealing that its true goal was to unseal Lucius. Despite all this, and its role as the protector of the ecosystem, Zygarde gave in to Gibeon's pleas to assist him in battle, and it faced off against Liko, Roy, Dot, and Amethio. The same episode also revealed that it was planning to destroy the Laquium since the start of the series alongside Lucius, Rayquaza, and the Rising Volt Tacklers.

In [[HZ088]], Zygarde battled against Floragato, Crocalor, Quaxwell and Ceruledge. It utterly dominated most of the battle with its powerful attacks and sheer resilience, eventually knocking all 4 opponents out of their terastallized states. After Liko's Floragato evolved into Meowscarada, Zygarde faced off against Meowscarada and Ceruledge, with Ceruledge cutting through Zygarde's attack to buy its teammate some time for a powerful Flower Trick, knocking Zygarde to the ground. After the battle, Zygarde revealed it was testing the strength and resolve of Liko, her friends and their Pokemon. It then bid farewell to Gibeon, abandoning him due to his destructive goals.

Zygarde's known moves are {{m|Thousand Arrows}}, {{m|Land's Wrath}}, {{m|Core Enforcer}}, and {{m|Thousand Waves}}.

Pokemaster124: /* Trivia */ new section

== Trivia ==

I’ve seen this on other pages and was wondering if we should add it to the trivia section. The ability healer has existed since Gen 5 but this is the first time it’s been seen in the anime. [[User:Pokemaster124|Pokemaster124]] ([[User talk:Pokemaster124|talk]]) 13:01, 7 February 2025 (UTC)

The '''Black Rayquaza''' (Japanese: '''黒いレックウザ''' ''Black Rayquaza''), also known as '''Lucius's Rayquaza''' (Japanese: '''ルシアス‎のレックウザ''' ''Lucius's Rayquaza''), is a [[List of recurring wild Pokémon in the animated series|recurring Pokémon character]] that was once owned by [[Lucius]], as the first and most powerful member of his [[Six Heroes]] in ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''.

===History===
{{spoilers}}
[[File:Lucius and Rayquaza.png|250px|thumb|left|Rayquaza ridden by [[Lucius]], [[Rystal]], and [[Pagogo]]]]
====Pre-series====
100 years prior to the events of the series, the {{shiny|Black}} {{p|Rayquaza}} travelled with its {{pkmn|Trainer}}, [[Lucius]], in his quest to find the Pokémon paradise [[Laqua]]. One day, they saved [[Rystal]] and her {{TP|Liko|Terapagos}} from a group of bandits and after quickly befriending Terapagos, they started travelling together. On their travels, they met other five Pokémon: {{TP|Lucius|Arboliva}}, {{rf|Galarian}} {{TP|Lucius|Moltres}}, {{TP|Lucius|Lapras}}, {{TP|Lucius|Kleavor}}, and {{TP|Lucius|Gouging Fire}}, who alongside Rayquaza, formed the [[Six Heroes]]. Another day, [[Gibeon]] and his {{p|Zygarde}} also joined the group thanks to their shared interest in Laqua.

The trio, now known as the Explorers, eventually found Laqua. However, Gibeon's obsession over the [[Laquium]] that was found deep within the paradise caused the crystals to expand and spread its mist across Laqua. The crystals started destroying everything and making [[wild Pokémon]] go feral. Lucius releases the Six Heroes to help and Rayquaza tries to bury it down with a {{M|Draco Meteor}}, but it wasn't enough. Lucius and Rystal refuse to give up and in response, Terapagos changed into its {{form|Terapagos|Stellar Form}}. It used its powers on the Six Heroes to seal the Laquium away inside a giant barrier, but with Lucius trapped inside as well. Afterwards, the Six Heroes were scattered around the {{pkmn|world}} due to an explosion created by the Laquium.

Inside its {{DL|Poké Ball|Ancient Poké Ball}}, Rayquaza ended up somewhere in the sea and eventually washed up on the shoreline of [[Roy's hometown|an island]] in the [[Kanto]] region, where it was found by [[Roy's grandfather]] and was then gifted to [[Roy]] a few years prior to the series.

====''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]'' ====
[[File:Rayquaza staring at Liko.png|thumb|250px|Rayquaza meeting Lucius's descendant, [[Liko]]]]
In ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', [[Liko]]'s [[Pagogo|pendant]] started to glow in conjunction with Rayquaza's ancient Poké Ball, which finally opened during a {{pkmn|battle}} between the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] and the [[Explorers]]. The {{Shiny}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] briefly battled everyone in the area, right before flying away in the direction of [[Paldea]] but not before staring at Liko. Since then, the Rising Volt Tacklers, Roy in particular, started seeking Rayquaza around the world, forming bonds with the other members of the Six Heroes like Arboliva and Moltres, but failing to get in time to where Rayquaza was said to be.
[[File:Kabu Rayquaza flashback.png|250px|left|thumb|Rayquaza being spotted in [[Galar]] by Kabu]]
It was mentioned in ''[[HZ009|Welcome to Paldea!]]'' when [[Alex]], Liko's father, said that the Black Rayquaza was heading towards [[Artazon]]. It was mentioned again by [[Brassius]] in ''[[HZ010|Nemona and Brassius and…]]'', who confirmed Rayquaza arrived at [[Arboliva's Forest]] where a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{TP|Lucius|Arboliva}} lived.

In ''[[HZ012|The Future I Choose]]'', Liko and Roy found out about the Six Heroes' story in Alex's books, knowing now that Rayquaza was [[Lucius]]'s main and most powerful Pokémon.

In ''[[HZ020|Kabu's Battle Training!]]'', [[Kabu]] revealed to have seen Rayquaza. Soon after, the Legendary Pokémon went towards the west of [[Motostoke]].
[[File:Terapagos and Rayquaza.png|250px|thumb|Rayquaza facing [[Pagogo|Terapagos]]]]
In ''[[HZ032|Lapras's Feelings for its Friends]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers reencountered the Black Rayquaza in the sea right after [[Lucius's Lapras]] joined them. In ''[[HZ033|Roar of the Black Rayquaza]]'', Rayquaza was suddenly attacked by [[Amethio]]'s {{p|Corviknight}} and {{TP|Amethio|Ceruledge}}, but it easily defeated them, before starting to attack the Rising Volt Tacklers as well. This forced {{TP|Liko|Terapagos}} to transform into its {{form|Terapagos|Terastal Form}} and use {{m|Tera Starstorm}} to counter Rayquaza's {{m|Draco Meteor}} shower to protect its friends, which left Rayquaza amazed before it left once again.
[[File:HZ044.png|250px|thumb|left|Rayquaza lured to a lighthouse by the [[Explorers]]]]
In ''[[HZ043|A Challenge from the Explorers]]'', Rayquaza was mentioned by [[Coral]], revealing that the Explorers were planning to capture the {{pkmn|category|Sky High Pokémon}}. In the [[HZ044|next episode]], [[Spinel]] put his plan into motion, which involved trapping [[Friede]] to buy time while Coral, [[Sidian]], and [[Chalce]] fought Rayquaza and attempted to {{pkmn2|Caught|catch}} it. With the help of the Rising Volt Tacklers, Rayquaza managed to free itself from the trap created by the Explorers, but thanks to a reckless {{m|Self-Destruct}} used by Coral's {{p|Glalie}} against Rayquaza, it was sent crashing into the [[Brave Olivine]], damaging the ship.

In ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]'', most of the Explorers retreated, aside from Amethio. The Black Rayquaza was confronted by Liko and the others and readily accepted Liko's offer to battle it. Amethio later joined the fray and teamed up with Friede, with them {{Tera}}stallizing Ceruledge and {{TP|Friede|Charizard}}, respectively, but both were eventually defeated by a devastating {{m|Dragon Ascent}}. Liko and Roy confronted Rayquaza next, but despite {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} learning {{m|Flame Charge}} and {{p|Sprigatito}} evolving into {{TP|Liko|Floragato}}, they were unable to do much against the Sky High Pokémon. Before leaving, the Black Rayquaza locked eyes with Liko again, seeming to take note of the resemblance she bears to its partner, Lucius.

In [[HZ081]], Pagogo and the five reunited members of the Six Heroes, summoned Rayquaza to [[Area Zero]].

===Personality and characteristics===
Not much is known about the {{Shiny|Black}} Rayquaza. It is the very first and most powerful member of the [[Six Heroes]]. It appears to be very aggressive and for some reason and prefers to fly away from the ones seeking it, including its former teammates and [[Pagogo|Terapagos]], [[Roaming Pokémon|roaming]] around the world instead. It has also shown some kind of interest towards both Terapagos and [[Liko]]. This is probably because Liko is Lucius and [[Rystal]]'s great-great-granddaughter and Terapagos is an old companion of it. [[Diana]] also theorizes that it wants to see Terapagos's true power. [[Gibeon]] also claims that both Terapagos and Rayquaza are the keys to [[Laqua]], however this is not elaborated on. Rayquaza also had a really close bond with Terapagos, which was the only Pokémon that did not fear it.

Rayquaza has proven to be an incredibly strong and powerful battler, able to singlehandedly defeat almost every single one of Rising Volt Tackler's Pokémon through brute force alone, despite being outnumbered and taking several super effective hits, and was even able to outmatch Pagogo in battle, though not before taking massive damage from its [[Tera Starstorm (move)|Tera Starstorm]].

==Trivia ==
*The Black Rayquaza is the first {{Shiny}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] to be owned by a {{pkmn|Trainer}}.
*Since Pagogo shared its power with it and the other heroes 100 years ago, the Black Rayquaza gained a brilliant, crystallized appearance that is heavily similar to a [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallized state]], but lacking a Tera Jewel on its head. In [[HZ082]], Pagogo regained its power from Rayquaza, which caused it to lose its crystallized appearance.

** As seen in [[HZ075]], Rayquaza didn't have that appearance before the incident in [[Laqua]]. This implied that when Terapagos used the Six Heroes to stop the [[Laquium]] from expanding, some [[Terastal energy|energy]] was left in Rayquaza.

'''Dot's Quaxwell''' (Japanese: '''ドットのウェルカモ''' ''Dot's Welkamo''), or '''Nidothing's Quaxwell''' (Japanese: '''ぐるみんのウェルカモ''' ''Gurumin's Welkamo''), is one of [[Dot]]'s Pokémon, and was her [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]]. {{p|Quaxwell}} takes part in her videos to teach young viewers on basic knowledge on how to become a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. He is usually [[Walking Pokémon|outside]] his {{i|Poké Ball}}.

==In animation==
===History===
====Pre-series====
Prior to the series, Quaxwell was a [[wild Pokémon|wild]] Quaxly living in the [[Brave Olivine]] alongside of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]. Eventually, he formed a close bond with [[Ludlow]] and [[Dot]]. He usually kept Ludlow company when he was [[fishing]] or participated in Nidothing's videos.

====''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''====
=====As a wild Pokémon=====
[[File:Ludlow and Dot Quaxly.png|thumb|left|250px|Quaxly and Ludlow]]
Quaxwell first debuted as a Quaxly in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]'' accompanied by Nidothing, assisting with her videos about how to be a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. In [[HZ002|the following episode]], Quaxly could be seen again panicking as the Rising Volt Tacklers were traveling through a thunderstorm, heading in Dot's room for safety.

In ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', after the encounter of the [[Black Rayquaza]], Quaxly found the tracker that the [[Explorers]] had [[HZ003|previously]] placed on the bottom of the [[Brave Olivine]] and gave it to [[Ludlow]], revealing how they had found the group's location before destroying it.

In ''[[HZ007|Special Training with Cap!]]'', [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] tried to introduce themselves to Dot. As they were waiting for a response on the other side of the door, coming out from the flap of the door was Quaxly, surprising Liko. Quaxly gave Liko and Roy a Dot's message as they were asking her for help in knowing how to get better at [[Pokémon battle]]s. Later, Quaxly again came out from the flap, this time surprising Roy. Quaxly gave both of them a clue to where the Black Rayquaza was hinted to be last seen.
[[File:Liko Floragato Roy Fuecoco Dot Quaxly.png|thumb|250px|Quaxly and his friends]]
In ''[[HZ013|An Unexpected Picnic!]]'', with the help of [[Murdock]], Liko gave Ludlow and Dot the opportunity to have a chance of experiencing a [[picnic]], though Dot was hesitant to give a chance, Quaxly gave her a sincere smile and encouraged Dot to come out of her room to make her own [[sandwich]]. Quaxly as usual, attended the event with Ludlow and Dot.

In ''[[HZ015|Someone We Can't See! Whosawhatsit?]]'', when Liko disappeared, Dot personally volunteered to help search for her. When asked by [[Friede]] if she has a Pokémon in mind that would be ready to enter a Pokémon battle, Quaxly volunteered to battle alongside Dot as her partner.

=====With Dot=====
[[File:Dot choosing Quaxly.png|thumb|250px|left|Quaxly being picked to be Dot's [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]]]]
In ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]'', Quaxly was officially caught as Dot's [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]]. He participated in his first battle against [[Spinel]]'s Pokémon with the aid of Liko, Roy, and their respective partners, with Quaxly assisting Sprigatito in defeating Magneton. Afterwards, he encouraged Dot to reveal her true identity as Nidothing to Liko, one of her fans, after several previous failures.

In ''[[HZ027|As Long as I'm with My Friends]]'', Quaxly accompanied Dot and other members of the Team to collect ingredients for a [[curry]] cook off between Liko and Roy. He used Water Gun to scare off a group of {{p|Skwovet}} and {{p|Greedent}} that attacked Roy and Fuecoco. Afterwards, he happily ate curry alongside his Trainer and the other Rising Volt Tacklers after the curry cook off had been counted as a draw.

In ''[[HZ039|Tinkatink's Ideal Hammer]]'', Quaxly worked with Dot to help a wild {{p|Tinkatink}} get her hammer back from a {{p|Orthworm}}, as Dot had him use Water Gun around the area in order to corner it. Dot's planned work and Quaxly was able to help Tinkatink get her hammer back, and the Metalsmith Pokémon was able to defeat it.

In ''[[HZ041|A Wild Mom Appears!]]'', Dot used Quaxly in a battle against her mother, [[Franka]], and her {{form|Lycanroc|Midnight Form}} {{p|Lycanroc}}. Quaxly was initially at a disadvantage due to Lycanroc's use of {{m|Counter}}, but while following Dot's order to aim for Lycanroc's legs, the Duckling Pokémon ended up learning {{m|Low Kick}} and defeated Lycanroc, winning Dot the battle.

In ''[[HZ044|The Plan to Capture Rayquaza]]'', Quaxly and Tinkatink were used to battle [[Chalce]]'s {{p|Medicham}}, keeping them distracted long enough for Dot to install a kill program into the generator the Explorers were using to lure out the [[Black Rayquaza]]. In [[HZ045|the following episode]], Quaxly helped take on the Black Rayquaza. With assistance from [[Captain Pikachu]]'s Rising {{m|Volt Tackle}}, Quaxly and Sprigatito were sent flying high enough to launch attacks at Rayquaza. Despite this, Quaxly was eventually taken out by a stray {{m|Draco Meteor}}.
[[File:HZ050.png|thumb|250px|Quaxly battling Iono's Bellibolt]]
In [[HZ049]], Quaxly participated in a livestreamed training battle against Roy's Fuecoco as per Iono's request. However due to his Trainer getting nervous and unable to issue her commands, Quaxly was clueless as what to do and was instantly defeated by Fuecoco as a result. Quaxly soon confronted his Trainer about needing to rely on her Nidothing costume in public. Quaxly then battled against a wild {{p|Varoom}}, with his bravery and determination inspiring Dot to let go of her fears and become more confident in public, allowing her to command Quaxly properly to defeat the Single-Cyl Pokémon.

In [[HZ050]], Quaxly's battle against Iono's {{p|Bellibolt}} began. Using his superior agility, Quaxly launched a variety of attacks at his opponent, only to activate Bellibolt's {{a|Electromorphosis}} Ability, powering up its {{type|Electric}} moves. Although Dot had Quaxly Terastallize for the first time, they were unable to defeat Bellibolt even with Quaxly's newly-learnt {{m|Liquidation}}. Iono then won the battle with Bellibolt's Terastal-boosted {{m|Discharge}}. Despite the loss, Dot and Quaxly still managed to pass their basics test for fully letting loose and having fun in battle, showing how their bond had improved.

In [[HZ055]], Quaxly was used in a tag battle alongside Iono's Bellibolt against [[Poppy]]'s {{p|Tinkaton}} and {{p|Copperajah}}. Both Pokémon struggled to deal damage to their opponents and deal with the effects of {{m|Sandstorm}}, but Quaxly had an idea to use his dancing footwork for triggering Bellibolt's {{a|Electromorphosis}} [[Ability]] to strengthen its moves. Dot and Iono soon formed a plan which allowed a Terastallized Quaxly to distract and clash with Tinkaton while a supercharged Bellibolt ambushed and defeated the unsuspecting Copperajah with a powerful {{m|Zap Cannon}}, winning the match by default.
[[File:HZ059.png|thumb|250px|left|Quaxly battling Staraptor]]
In [[HZ058]], Quaxly was used by Dot at the Everything eatery to help calm down some kids who were scared by {{p|Kingambit}} with his dancing skills. Quaxly was then used in a battle against [[Sidian]]'s {{p|Garganacl}} to spread its salt around to attract more customers to the eatery. After the job was done, Quaxly and his Trainer soon headed of for the test battle against [[Larry]].

In [[HZ059]], Quaxly was used against Larry's {{p|Dudunsparce}}. He was {{status|paralyzed}} by {{m|Glare}} and then recalled in favor of Tinkatink. He later went up against {{p|Staraptor}}. He struggled at first, but was motivated by Dot to utilize his dancing skills to boost the power of his attacks to deal more damage to his opponent. Quaxly then suddenly evolved into {{p|Quaxwell}}, surprising everyone and Terastallizing immediately after his evolution to deal more damage to Staraptor further, but his paralysis effect soon returned. Larry then got serious, Terastallizing Staraptor and defeating Quaxwell with {{m|Facade}} soon after. Despite the loss, Quaxwell and his Trainer still passed the test overall for their opportunistic use of Terastallization, and Dot once again vowed to grow more stronger as a Trainer alongside her partner.

In [[HZ067]], Quaxwell was used to battle against [[Rai]]'s {{p|Darumaka}} during the [[Course Students Battle Tournament]], in which Quaxwell won after Terastallizing. After the events of the tournament, Quaxwell and his Trainer met up with Poppy, who encouraged them on their progress.

In [[HZ068]], Quaxwell faced off against Lucius's Lapras in a training battle, where he had to avoid most of Lapras's icy attacks. Dot then came up with a plan to have Quaxwell skate on the ice Lapras created to dodge its attacks and hit it with a supereffective Low Kick. Quaxwell was then Terastallized to do more damage, and although Lapras was still standing after the attack, it was impressed by Dot and Quaxwell's strength and returned to its Poké Ball.

In [[HZ070]], while on their way to meet [[Briar]] at the [[Crystal Pool]], Quaxwell and the others were pestered by a wild {{p|Bombirdier}}. The Bombirdier stole a metal plate Tinkatink wanted to forge into a new hammer, forcing her, Dot, and Quaxwell to chase after it. Later, Dot tried to Terastallize Quaxwell against the Bombirdier, only to drop her Tera Orb when a second Bombirdier came to help its partner. Once Tinkatink retrieved the plate and forged it into a new hammer, she evolved into {{p|Tinkatuff}} and helped Quaxwell drive the two Item Drop Pokémon into fleeing. Quaxwell and Dot then praised Tinaktuff for how much she had grown.

In [[HZ071]], Quaxwell accompanied Dot and her friends to the Crystal pool on Oni Mountain. After Friede left to look for Briar, a wild Terastalized Milotic emerged from the water and attacked the group. Quaxwell fought alongside Crocalor and Floragato, struggling at first due to Milotic's constant swimming and dodging. After Dot came up with a plan for Quaxwell to lure Milotic out, Crocalor succeded in calming down Milotic who decided to let the group stay. Quaxwell was then used in a battle against Perrin's Leafeon, as Dot wanted information from Perrin regarding Kleavor. Quaxwell struggled due to the type disadvantage at first, but he soon learnt {{m|Air Cutter}} to gain the upper hand and eventually defeated Leafeon.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Dot and Quaxwell.png|thumb|250px|Quaxwell and Dot]]
As their {{p|Quaxly|species}} are known for, Quaxwell, while he was a Quaxly, loves to be clean and dislikes being dirty, as seen in ''[[HZ007|Special Training with Cap!]]'', when [[Roy]] attempted to touch the Duckling Pokémon, but unexpectedly got his hand slapped by him. Despite this, Quaxly has shown to be friendly, as he befriended [[Liko's Sprigatito]] and [[Roy's Fuecoco]] right away, even staying friends with them after they both evolved. Quaxly also has a habit of making poses for various reasons and seems to be a good dancer. Quaxly has been shown to be outgoing as he often accompanies [[Ludlow]] and watches the rest of the members of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]].
[[File:Dot Tinkatink and Quaxly.png|thumb|left|250px|Quaxly and Tinkatink]]
In addition to Ludlow, Quaxwell seems to be loyal to [[Dot]], not needing to be called by her when needed in her room. Quaxwell is also a voice of reason for Dot, encouraging her to participate in social interactions and other situations she usually avoids. Quaxly even chose Dot to be his {{pkmn|Trainer}}, as seen in ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]''. His closeness to Dot has been seen when it would sit on her shoulders. In addition, Quaxly would show his support in having new friends join Dot's team, as shown in ''[[HZ039|Tinkatink's Ideal Hammer]]'', when he gave his Trainer a Poké Ball in order to catch a Tinkatink they befriended.

Behind the scene of their livestream in ''[[HZ008|The Door That Never Opens]]'', Quaxly can be seen being skeptical when Dot fumbles or gives generic advice. Quaxly acts like a director, keeping Dot focused on the streams, avoiding a potential break in character live or when making videos. Quaxly also would help with Dot's fans as Nidothing, as shown in ''[[HZ036|Mission: Find Oinkologne's Partner!]]'', when he accompanied [[Liko]] and Roy to meet a fan that asked his Trainer for help. In addition, Quaxly would make sure that no one knows about Dot's identity as Nidothing, as shown in ''[[HZ039|Tinkatink's Ideal Hammer]]'', when he blocked the camera so his Trainer wasn't exposed, after {{TP|Dot|Tinkatink}} tried to take the zipper from Dot's costume.

He and Tinkatink became close friends after meeting each other, as he went out of his way to help Tinkatink retrieve her hammer from a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Orthworm}}. Ever since they became teammates, he keeps an eye on Tinkatink, as he sees her as a little sister, preventing her from making hammers from unnecessary items and keep her out of trouble. After Quaxly defeated [[Franka]]'s {{p|Lycanroc}} in a battle, Quaxly and Tinkatink shared a happy hug to celebrate his win. They maintain their bond after they both evolved at different points.

Quaxwell is shown to be aware of his surroundings. In ''Quaxly, We Can Do It'', before {{p|Arboliva}}'s {{DL|Poké Ball|Ancient Poké Ball}} shined, Quaxwell as a Quaxly sensed something strange when the van that [[Spinel]] was operating went past Liko, Roy, and Dot. He also sneakily hid next to the kitchen door after [[Friede]] thought the coast was clear in ''The Door That Never Opens''.
After his evolution, Quaxwell has become even more confident than before and has been seen practicing his dance moves more often, and incorporating dancing to his battle style as a whole.{{-}}

I was on the page for dots quaxwell and it’s only shown two moves recently used but I watched the episode myself and quaxwell used three moves - low sweep, pound, and air cutter. Didn’t know if was missed on accident or just not included but thought I should mention it [[User:Pokemaster124|Pokemaster124]] ([[User talk:Pokemaster124|talk]]) 00:27, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

Crystal Pool

Pokemaster124: /* Pokémon Horizons: The Series */Added in that the pool will officially appear in next weeks episode. Remove if not allowed.

The '''Crystal Pool''' (Japanese: '''てらす池''' ''Illuminating Pool'') is a large pool located at [[Oni Mountain]] summit in the center of [[Kitakami]]. It is one of the [[Six Wonders of Kitakami]].

==Geography==
The Crystal Pool is a large area at the top of Oni Mountain. A small, man-made bridge has been built around a longer strip of water. Glowing crystals, like the ones found in [[Area Zero]] can be found at the bottom of the pool, rising upwards to the surface. When travelling there with [[Carmine]], during the events of [[The Teal Mask]], she mentions a rumor about the Crystal Pool where you can happen to meet people here who have passed away. [[Briar]] refers to the area as "sacred ground" upon her arrival. According to her, the crystals emit energy of the same wavelength as {{Tera}}stal energy. She doesn't understand why this is the case, but hopes to figure that out to stabilize the Terastal phenomenon in regions other than [[Paldea]]. After Carmine leaves, Briar also mentions that her research here could bring her one step closer to {{p|Terapagos}}, suggesting the Pokémon and the area itself may be related.

Sparkling [[Crystal Cluster]]s can be found within the pool, with the player receiving one after being attacked by a {{p|Milotic}} during the events of The Teal Mask.

==Places of interest==
===Lake caves===
On the far side of the area, there's a small hole beneath the ground that the player can enter. It will take them to an underground lake beneath the river, where Pokémon such as Feebas may spawn.

===Post DLC===
{{spoilers}}
Following the events of [[The Indigo Disk]], a strange mist will appear at the Crystal Pool when the player returns there. The player must have {{p|Terapagos}} either in their [[party]] or [[Pokémon Storage System]] for the cutscene to activate. The player, as well as {{ga|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{ga|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}} is then able to meet the real Professor Sada{{sup/9|S}}/Turo{{sup/9|V}} from some point in space-time, who has not yet completed their time machine. After a brief conversation implying that Paradox Pokémon come from parallel timelines, the player will be prompted to exchange [[Briar's Book]] for the Scarlet{{sup/9|S}}/Violet{{sup/9|V}} Book. The player cannot deny the request made by Sada{{sup/9|S}}/Turo{{sup/9|V}} to trade books. Following this scene, the player will be returned to a permanently different [[main menu]], where the Book will be visible again, featuring a new arrangement of the main Pokémon theme.

Even before this point, the player is able to read the [[Area Zero journals|Professor's notes]] in the [[Area Zero Underdepths]], noting that they received a white book from a child in an eastern land. Since the Professor doesn't seem to have given Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} their name yet at this point in their life, (referring to them as the {{p|Koraidon|Winged King}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon|Iron Serpent}}{{sup/9|V}}) it is implied that this encounter inadvertently triggered a {{wp|bootstrap paradox}} by telling them what their Legendary Pokémon was called and inspiring the Professor to continue their research on Area Zero or possibly creating an AI, if the player references it in their dialogue.

Talking to [[Arven]] in his dorm at the Academy (provided the player has formed [[Bond|close bonds]] with him) reveals different dialogue about the location of the book as a result of this interaction.

==Special encounters==
After [[Yukito and Hideko|Kieran and Carmine's grandpa]] offers to fix {{ga|Ogerpon}}'s mask, the player and Carmine head to the Crystal Pool to obtain a [[Crystal Cluster]], where a {{p|Milotic}} ambushes them. Milotic's stats are different if the player has not yet finished {{DL|Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|The Way Home}}, but it always has 20 {{IV}}s in each stat. It cannot be caught, and is coded to never be {{Shiny}}.

After it is defeated, it drops a [[Crystal Cluster]].

===Pokémon Horizons: The Series===
Crystal Pool was first mentioned in [[HZ069]], where [[Carmine]] revealed that [[Briar]] was currently there.

Crystal Pool will officially appear in [[HZ071]] when the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] go there to meet with [[Briar]] in an effort to learn more about [[P|Terapagos]].

==Trivia==
* The overall layout of the Crystal Pool resembles a smaller version of [[Area Zero]], with the location resembling a crater surrounded by a ring of jagged mountain-like rocks, akin to the [[Great Crater of Paldea]], and containing a lower subsurface area in the center filled with crystals, similar to Area Zero's depths.
* Although it is never shown to the player in-game, the special Milotic encounter is programmed to have a {{t|Ghost}} Tera Type, which may imply that the rumor about seeing the deceased at the Crystal Pool (as mentioned by Carmine) is true.

Pokemaster124:

I’m still wondering why we can’t put down that Liko’s Hattrem knows Brutal Swing. Bit of context here, I’ve been building a team from scratch for competitive battling and Hatterene is part of it. Upon Hatenna evolving to Hattrem, it was able to learn brutal swing and on the page for Hattrem under its moves via level up it says Evo (Brutal Swing). We’ve also seen that animation of brutal swing with Ash’s Sirfetch’d so why is it still up for debate about Hattrem knowing Brutal Swing. She’s used the move twice now.

Also I’m aware I put this once already, I didn’t realise it would actually create the page and this wouldn’t show which is why I’ve done it again [[User:Pokemaster124|Pokemaster124]] ([[User talk:Pokemaster124|talk]]) 18:57, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
:Sadly the animation isn't considered [[Bulbapedia:List_of_moves_with_unique_animations|unique enough]] to confirm it as Brutal Swing, it is slightly different from the animation used when Dot's Tinkatink used it in the previous episode but without dialogue confirming it, it remains unconfirmed for now. Hopefully Hattrem will be used to battle Grusha in a few episodes where the move will be called out, allowing us to identify it.--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]], Junior Admin Bulbapedia ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 19:13, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

Ok. Thanks for telling me the reason. That is honestly a valid reason for it so we have to wait a couple weeks to find out since Liko isn’t having her double battle with Grusha till after Roy vs Ryme [[User:Pokemaster124|Pokemaster124]] ([[User talk:Pokemaster124|talk]]) 19:16, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

== Hattrem Brutal Swing ==
Just posting this on here, although the animation does look like Hattrem used Brutal Swing, without dialogue confirming this was the move, we can't accept it as a major event at present.--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]], Junior Admin Bulbapedia ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 14:23, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

Much as I disagree with that, I respect any decisions made by the admins. Probably won’t be next weeks episode we find out since it’s a friede and cap episode so I guess just wait [[User:Pokemaster124|Pokemaster124]] ([[User talk:Pokemaster124|talk]]) 14:25, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

Pokemaster124: /* Major events */I’ve just watched this episode myself and based off the animation of it, I’m 100% certain that she learnt brutal swing. I even went and watched an old clip of ash’s farfetch’d/Sirfetch’d using it and the animation, the glow and spin, is the exact same so I wouldn’t exactly say there’s anymore need for debate as while it wasn’t mentioned, it’s clear to see that the move is Brutal Swing

{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
[[Liko]], [[Roy]], and [[Dot]] are traveling through a forest to find the Pokémon known as "the unworldly" which Roy [[HZ052|had heard of]]. They soon hear noises coming from deeper in the woods, until three people who [[Doppelgänger|look very similar to them]] suddenly appear before them. While Liko's {{p|Hatenna}} uses {{m|Heal Pulse}} to heal them and their Pokémon, the three {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, {{OBP|Luka|HZ053}}, [[Rai]], and [[Bocco]], reveal that, just like Liko and her friends, they are students from [[Naranja Academy]] who are taking on the [[Terastal Training]] course. However, they had gotten lost on their way to their designated [[Gym]]s and wandered through a foggy forest, until they arrived before a spooky-looking tree that seemed to have a ghostly face. Since they couldn't go any further, they decided to turn back, only for the strap on Luka's [[bag]] to break. She had used a vine from a nearby tree to repair it, but at that moment, a scary Pokémon had attacked them, and they had fled, unable to repel it by {{pkmn|battle|battling}} it. Based on their description of the Pokémon, Roy and Dot deduce that it could be "the unworldly" they are looking for. When Liko and her friends mention that they want to find it to write a report about it, Luka and her friends get scared at the mere idea and flee in terror while thanking them from their aid.

Liko and her friends continue on deeper into the forest. As fog starts rolling in, a group of {{p|Mankey}} suddenly flees past them on the treetops. Only moments after they have passed by, another Pokémon appears before them. Using her [[Rotom Phone]], Liko identifies it as an {{p|Annihilape}}, a Pokémon that has gained power not constrained by the limits of flesh through rage, making the children realize that this Pokémon is "the unworldly" they were looking for. Annihilape starts attacking them, forcing the children to defend themselves with their Pokémon, with {{TP|Dot|Quaxly}} and {{TP|Liko|Floragato}} holding it back while {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} knocks it down with {{m|Flame Charge}}, giving the three a chance to run away. They eventually arrive at the side of a river and stop to catch their breath. Hearing noise nearby, they find a group of Mankey next to the tree with a ghostly face that they had heard of. One of the Mankey is holding a snapped vine, which Liko realizes must be the same one that Luka had used to repair her bag. Dot figures that this tree must be important to the Mankey in some way, and since the three of them and their Pokémon resemble the group they met earlier, the Mankey are mistaking them for the culprits. The Mankey start throwing rocks at the three of them, ignoring their pleas of innocence. Several {{p|Primeape}} charge at them, but Floragato, Fuecoco, and Quaxly are able to fight them off. One Mankey throws a rock that almost hits {{an|Terapagos}}, but Hatenna uses her {{t|Psychic}} powers to defend it. Annihilape appears again, and the Mankey and Primeape move aside to make way for it. Dot theorizes that Annihilape could be the guardian deity of these Mankey. Annihilape attacks with a flurry of {{m|Rage Fist}}s, and the group's Pokémon fight back, but their attacks don't seem to work. Deciding on a combination attack, they simultaneously attack with {{m|Magical Leaf}}, {{m|Flamethrower}}, and {{m|Water Gun}}, but all they succeed in is making Annihilape even angrier.

In the midst of the battle, Hatenna spots some of the Mankey looking at a tree on the opposite shore and realizes something. When several of Annihilape's Rage Fists end up striking the pack of Mankey, they grow angry as well and start attacking Annihilape, much to the group's surprise. While Dot figures that her theory on Annihilape being a guardian deity is incorrect, after all, Hatenna comes up to them and points out what's on the other side of the river: a large supply of {{Berries}} at the base of another tree. Figuring the Berries belong to the Mankey, the group realizes that the Mankey had grown angry because they had previously used the vine hanging between the two trees to cross the river and reach their food storage, but are now unable to do so. To fix the situation, the group constructs a new bridge out of straw and logs, which Hatenna helps attach to the tree on one side of the river, while Roy flies to the other side with {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}} and attaches the other end of the bridge of the Berry storage tree. The Mankey, Primeape, and Annihilape excitedly cross the river using the new bridge and reach their food storage once more. Liko and Dot follow them and are feeling happy for them. Liko thanks Hatenna for figuring out what was wrong, and is surprised to notice a brief glow around her Pokémon.

The Mankey pack's excitement rises so high that their stomping starts shaking the ground. As a result, a loose boulder soon falls down from the cliff above and almost hits the pack. While no one is hurt, all Berries have been smashed. This causes the short-tempered Pokémon to fly into a fit of rage and start fighting each other. During the fight, two Primeape from the pack suddenly [[Evolution|evolve]] into Annihilape, surprising the group with the revelation that Annihilape is Primeape's evolved form. The fight grows more violent with two new Annihilape now being present, quickly resulting in all the Mankey being defeated and leaving the three {{pkmn|category|Rage Monkey Pokémon}} to fight amongst themselves. The group falls back, but they soon notice that Hatenna is approaching the Annihilape, trying to stop the fight. In that midst of the raging fight full of enraged emotions, the overwhelmed Hatenna suddenly evolves into {{TP|Liko|Hattrem}}. From Dot's Rotom Phone, the group learns that Hattrem will silence anyone with strong emotions, which she then proceeds to do to three Annihilape, defeating them with her newly learned {{m|Brutal Swing}}. The group is impressed at Hattrem's strength, though Dot is also left flabbergasted when she then also heals them right afterwards.

At sunset, the group eats some newly collected Berries alongside the pack, with Dot recording some video of the Annihilape for her report in the process. This experience has left the group excited to meet even more Pokémon, feeling good about their reports. Later, Hattrem is dismayed to find out that she's now too big to ride in Liko's hood anymore, but she gets over it quickly, and the group continues on their way back to Naranja Academy.

'''Roy''' (Japanese: '''ロイ''' ''Roy'') is one of the protagonists of ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''.<ref>https://pokemon.gamespress.com/Pokemon-Reveals-Pokemon-Horizons-The-Series-as-Official-Title-of-Next-</ref> He owns a mysterious {{DL|Poké Ball|Ancient Poké Ball}} that was given to him by his {{TP|Roy|grandfather}}. Roy remotely attends online school and is a member of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]].

==In the anime==
===History===
[[File:Roy and Grandfather past.png|250px|left|thumb|Young Roy]]
====Pre-series====
Roy grew up on an [[Roy's hometown|island]] in the [[Kanto]] region with his [[Roy's grandfather|grandfather]] and was told the story of a [[Lucius|Legendary Adventurer]], which inspired him to become a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. Sometime later, Roy received a mysterious {{i|Poké Ball}} from his grandfather and decided to undercover the mystery of it.

====''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''====
Roy debuted in ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]''. In the morning after [[HZ002|a storm]], he ran to the beach, where he found the flag missing from the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]' [[Brave Olivine|airship]].

In ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', it was revealed that Roy attends virtual school and that he couldn't catch a Pokémon because there were no Pokémon Trainers on the island. After noticing that his [[Secret Base]] had been raided, Roy came across a {{p|Fuecoco}} and befriended it. Soon, they heard a commotion nearby and ran towards it to find [[Liko]] and {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} running from a group of [[wild Pokémon]]. Despite their best efforts to escape, however, they were cornered and tied up by multiple {{m|String Shot}}s until [[Friede]] came to their rescue. Afterwards, Roy and Fuecoco parted ways.

Wanting to meet Fuecoco again, Roy [[HZ005|snuck on the Brave Olivine]], but he got zapped by [[Captain Pikachu]], waking up everyone on the aircraft in the process. Roy wanted Fuecoco to be his partner, but Friede told him that Fuecoco had to reciprocate those feelings as well. He and Liko searched all over the Brave Asagi, and while they weren't able to find Fuecoco that night, Roy decided to leave it some [[Oran Berry|Oran Berries]]. In the next day, Roy stumbled upon an agitated Fuecoco, who told him that there was trouble brewing at the Brave Olivine. At the beach, Roy partnered with Fuecoco to battle against [[Zirc]] and his {{p|Rhydon}}. By chanting alongside the Fire Croc Pokémon, Roy helped Fuecoco to successfully fire off an {{m|Ember}}.
[[File:Roy RVT.png|thumb|250px|Roy joining the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]]]
In ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', Roy battled against [[Amethio]] for the first time and, even alongside Liko, was quickly overwhelmed by his strength. When {{TP|Amethio|Ceruledge}} was about to finish off Fuecoco and Sprigatito, Roy's Ancient Poké Ball started to shine brightly and released a {{Shiny|Black}} [[Black Rayquaza|Rayquaza]], who fired a {{m|Draco Meteor}} that forced the [[Explorers]] to retreat and flew away. Later that day, Roy opened his heart to Fuecoco, confessing that he wanted it to be his partner. Fuecoco reciprocated those feelings and spat out a Poké Ball that Friede's {{p|Charizard}} gave it, allowing Roy to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it. After stating he wanted to realize both his and {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}}'s dreams, his grandfather allowed him to go out on his [[Pokémon journey]] with the Rising Volt Tacklers.

In ''[[HZ007|Special Training with Cap!]]'', Liko and Roy had a sparring battle, which ended with both of their Pokémon just exhausting themselves. After a training session with [[Captain Pikachu]], they had another battle, which went much better. Although Roy ended up losing, he wasn't dejected, and promised to battle Liko again later.

In ''[[HZ009|Welcome to Paldea!]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers landed in [[Paldea]]. In [[HZ010|the following episode]], Roy and Liko visited [[Artazon]] to meet [[Gym Leader]] [[Brassius]], who had supposedly seen the Black Rayquaza. Brassius eventually admitted this to have been the case, with the encounter having left him in an artistic slump, as he felt his Rayquaza statue was not as good as the real thing. Roy, however, thought Brassius's statue looked just as good as the actual Rayquaza. After hearing how Rayquaza had been the inspiration behind his journey, Brassius challenged Roy to a battle to see if he was worthy of facing Rayquaza. During the battle, Brassius told Roy to remember to keep an eye on his own Pokémon, allowing Roy to spot that Fuecoco had just learned {{m|Stomping Tantrum}}. Despite this new [[move]], however, Fuecoco was still defeated after Brassius {{Tera}}stallized his {{p|Sudowoodo}}, ending the match in Roy's loss. After the battle, Roy expressed interest in getting to try out using the Terastal phenomenon himself. After learning that Brassius saw the Black Rayquaza flying over the [[Arboliva Forest]], Roy and Liko decided to make it their next destination.

In ''[[HZ011|Arboliva's Forest]]'', [[Nemona]] led Roy and Liko to the Arboliva Forest, only to find part of it burned down after a lightning strike started a wildfire. While searching the area, Roy came across a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{p|Arboliva}} with an Ancient Poké Ball. Mistakenly assuming the pair were trying to harm the Pokémon living in the forest, Arboliva began attacking Roy and Liko. While Roy and Liko kept Arboliva distracted, [[Mollie]] treated an injured {{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Wooper}}, calming Arboliva down. In the [[HZ012|following episode]], the Rising Volt Tacklers held a successful group effort to replant the damaged part of the forest. Liko's pendant briefly transformed into a mysterious Pokémon just before Arboliva returned to its Ancient Poké Ball.

In ''[[HZ013|An Unexpected Picnic!]]'', a {{p|Wattrel}} stole a [[sandwich]] that Roy had made for Fuecoco. Roy chased after Wattrel, until it reached a cliff, where it turned around to face Fuecoco. After a brief confrontation, Roy agreed to share the sandwich, only for Wattrel to steal both halves of it. Soon after, Roy noticed that Wattrel wasn't flying away with others of its kind. In the [[HZ014|next episode]], Roy sought Wattrel out again in order to help it learn to fly. Wattrel's fear of heights made this hard, so Roy eventually got the idea of using [[Ludlow]]'s [[fishing]] rod to support Wattrel mid-air while it attempted to fly. This strategy eventually succeeded, allowing Wattrel to fly as high as the others of its kind. Happy to see Wattrel flying, Roy was about to leave, only for Wattrel to fly after him. Taking this as a sign that Wattrel wanted to be caught by Roy, [[Murdock]] gave him a {{i|Poké Ball}} to do so. When a sudden gust of wind threw Wattrel off-balance, Roy threw the Poké Ball at it before it could hit the ground, saving it and adding it to his [[party|team]].
[[File:Liko Roy Dot Paldean first partners.png|thumb|250px|left|Roy and his friends battling the Explorers]]
In ''[[HZ015|Someone We Can't See! Whosawhatsit?]]'', Roy was informed that Liko went missing while shopping, so he and the Rising Volt Tacklers went looking for her. However, Roy wondered off when his Wattrel ran to chase after a {{p|Corvisquire}} until they went to [[Levincia]] City. After meeting up with Friede, Roy met [[Dot]] for the first time and went looking for Liko, being able to find her. Roy was then informed that Liko had her pendant stolen and they agreed to get it back. In the [[HZ016|next episode]], Roy and his friends found [[Spinel]], the one who stole the object, and then battled him. After Liko got her pendant back, Roy and his friends made their escape thanks to Arboliva.

In ''[[HZ017|Special Training Time!]]'', Roy decided to train his Pokémon in teamwork in the hopes of helping his Fuecoco and Wattrel get along better, due to their constant arguing. Roy asked Friede to battle them, which he accepted. However, due to Fuecoco and Wattrel lack of teamwork, Roy lost the match. The boy then decided to train his Pokémon and was able to get them to work together. Next, he asked Friede a rematch but, although Fuecoco and Wattrel's teamwork improved, Roy lost to Friede again.

In [[HZ018|next episode]], Roy and his friends got curious as to how Captain Pikachu was able to fly during his battle against him. Although they asked Friede for answers, they couldn't get the information they wanted. However, Roy and his friends refused to give up as they decided to ask the rest of the members, but couldn't get an answer from them either. Despite this, Roy and his friends curiosity did get the rest of the members curious as well. They all decided to ask Friede for answers, as they were able to convince him into telling them as to how he met Captain Pikachu and the formation of the Rising Volt Tacklers.

In ''[[HZ020|Kabu's Battle Training!]]'', Roy arrived at [[Motostoke Stadium]] with Liko in order to get some information about the Black Rayquaza from [[Motostoke]] Gym Leader [[Kabu]], due to being from [[Hoenn]]. However, Roy and Liko receive some training from Kabu then did a tag battle against him. Despite Fuecoco learning {{m|Flamethrower}}, Roy lost to Kabu while Liko forfeited because she felt bad for her opponent, {{OBP|Wakaba|HZ020}}. After the battle, Roy and Liko found out through Kabu that the Black Rayquaza is at the [[Galar Mine]].

In ''[[HZ022|Charge! Galar Mine!]]'', Roy with Liko and Friede arrived at the Galar Mine, but got separated from them. However, Roy was able to meet back up with Liko and encounter the Explores again. During the battle, Roy and his friends met a {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Moltres}} that had an Ancient Poké Ball, which got him to realize that its one of Lucius's Pokémon. Unfortunately, Roy and Liko were forced to retreat when Moltres proved to be too strong and Captain Pikachu was injured as they left the mine. In the [[HZ023|next episode]], Roy and Liko arrived at the [[Pokémon Center]] in [[Motostoke]] where they reunited with Friede and agreed to battle Moltres again. After finding Moltres again at the Galar Mine, Roy battled the Legendary Pokémon again in order to calm it down. After Moltres calmed down, Roy witness the Legendary Pokémon return to Ancient Poké Ball, as Liko took it under her care.

In ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]'', Roy, Liko, and Friede arrived at [[Hammerlocke]] in order to find an [[Old Castle]] that [[Diana]], Liko's grandmother, was at. Through her {{p|Squawkabilly}}, Roy and his friends were able to find her. They hung out at the castle until the Explorers, who have been following them, arrived at their location. In the [[HZ025|next episode]], Roy and Liko tried to escape the Explorers, but were forced to battle Zirc and Onia, being able to defeat them. After the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived, Roy and his friends were able to escape from the Explorers.

In ''[[HZ031|Song Within the Mist]]'', Roy joined his friends and Ludlow in finding a {{p|Lapras}}, who happened to be one of Lucius's Pokémon, after they got a led through a ship crew that saw the Transport Pokémon. Fortunately, Roy, Liko, Dot, and Ludlow were able to find Lapras, but they failed to get it to come out, as it was covered by the {{m|Mist}} and two Pokémon appeared on the ship. When Friede devised a plan to get Lapras back, Roy and Liko stayed on the deck to wait for the Transport Pokémon. Through the Professor and Captain Pikachu, the two saw Lapras with battle scars and other various Pokémon on a {{p|Wailord}}, who also had scars as well. In the [[HZ032|next episode]], Roy joined Liko and Friede in going after Lapras and, after convincing it that they were friends, the Transport Pokémon returned to its Ancient Poké Ball and Liko took it under her care. However, before setting off, Roy and his friends witnessed the Black Rayquaza arriving at their location.

In [[HZ033]], Roy attempted to battle the Black Rayquaza, but couldn't because Amethio arrived to battle it and {{an|Terapagos}} transformed in order to protect its friends. However, after Terapagos collapsed and the Black Rayquaza left, Roy was depressed that he didn't get to battle the Legendary Pokémon. Fortunately, after doing a training battle with Liko against Diana, Roy cheered up and understood that he had a long way to go in order to battle the Black Rayquaza. In the [[HZ034|next episode]], Roy and Liko overheard Diana's intentions to continue traveling alone. They decided to organize a surprise farewell party for her. Through the help of their teammates, Roy and Liko surprised Diana with the party, which she appreciated. Once they bid farewell to Diana, the Rising Volt Tacklers resumed their search for the remaining Six Heroes. However, Roy was informed by Friede that they were heading to Paldea first in order to gain information on Terapagos.

In [[HZ037]], the Rising Volt Tacklers took on a job to deal with a group of {{p|Sandile}}, {{p|Krokorok}}, and {{p|Krookodile}} that were disturbing some {{OBP|archeologists|HZ037}}. Roy and Fuecoco eventually found the group and quickly befriended them upon learning they were a family trying to protect their {{pkmn|Egg}}s. When the archeologists' digging equipment disturbed the young Sandile, Krookodile and the Krokorok went on a rampage in order to destroy the machinery. By learning {{m|Disarming Voice}}, Fuecoco managed to calm its new friends down. Afterward, once the situation was explained to both parties, Krookodile and its family agreed to work alongside the archeologists.

In [[HZ042]], the Rising Volt Tacklers successfully returned to Paldea. In the [[HZ043|following episode]], Roy and Liko were challenged to a battle by [[Coral]] and [[Sidian]], respectively. Fuecoco struggled to land any hits on Coral's {{p|Glalie}} due to it freezing the battlefield, but upon noticing Fuecoco's growing frustration, Roy commanded it to use Stomping Tantrum, creating an ice fence that sent Glalie flying. Impressed by her opponents' determination, Coral decided to stop holding back, only to be forcibly pulled away by Sidian for a mission involving the Black Rayquaza.

In [[HZ044]], Coral, Sidian, and [[Chalce]] used a machine capable of recreating Terapagos's energy to summon the Black Rayquaza. While Dot worked on a kill program for the machine, Roy and Liko used their Pokémon to keep the Explorers distracted. Their efforts worked, but after Dot shut the machine down, Coral lost her temper and commanded her Glalie to use {{m|Self-Destruct}}. The attack collided with Rayquaza's {{m|Dragon Pulse}}, creating an explosion powerful enough to blast the {{pkmn|category|Sky High Pokémon}} directly into the hull of the Brave Olivine.
[[File:Roy and Nemona.png|left|250px|thumb|Roy and Nemona]]
In [[HZ045]], the ship was safely docked while the Explorers retreated, realizing their operation was a failure. Hoping to convey Terapagos's desire to reach [[Laqua]], Roy, Liko, Friede, and Dot challenged Rayquaza to a battle, which it readily accepted. Amethio later joined the fray and teamed up with Friede, with them Terastallizing Ceruledge and {{TP|Friede|Charizard}}, respectively, but both were eventually defeated by a devastating {{m|Dragon Ascent}}. Roy and Liko confronted Rayquaza next, but despite Fuecoco learning {{m|Flame Charge}} and Sprigatito evolving into {{TP|Liko|Floragato}}, they were unable to do much against the Sky High Pokémon. After Rayquaza took off, the Rising Volt Tacklers regrouped. While the Brave Olivine underwent repairs, Roy, Liko, and Dot decided to become stronger by learning how to use the Terastal phenomenon as well.

In [[HZ046]], Roy, Liko, and Dot were enrolled in [[Naranja Academy]] as part of the Terastal course. They each received a [[Tera Orb]] and were tasked with battling the Paldea [[Gym Leader]]s as part of their [[Terastal Training]]. To Roy's excitement, Brassius was chosen as his opponent. Roy also met [[Ann]], Liko's friend from [[Indigo Academy]]. After watching Liko and Ann battle, Roy and his friends set off for Liko's battle against [[Katy]] in [[Cortondo]].

In [[HZ048]], Roy, Liko, and Dot arrived in Artazon. Roy's Basics Test was temporarily postponed due to the town having its annual [[Artazon Art Festival]]. In the meantime, Roy faced Nemona in a battle, but was defeated. Frustrated, Roy asked to rematch Nemona, only for Brassius to suggest Roy participate in the festival in order to realize why he lost. Together, Roy and Fuecoco made a clay Charizard sculpture capable of breathing fire provided by Fuecoco's Flamethrower. This allowed Roy to realize he was failing to utilize any opportunity and resources in battles, impressing Brassius as a result. During his rematch with Brassius, Roy properly used strategies to see through Brassius's tactics, then defeated him after Terastallizing Fuecoco for the first time.

===Character===
[[File:Roy and Grandfather.png|250px|thumb|Roy and his grandfather]]
Roy is an upbeat, energetic boy who likes to go hunting for treasures. Adventurous by nature, Roy seeks to start a journey to meet Pokémon he has not seen and see the world, just like the fabled [[Lucius|Ancient Adventurer]] he has heard about from his {{TP|Roy|grandfather}}. Although he starts inexperienced about the inner workings of being a [[Pokémon Trainer]], he is nonetheless adept at other related activities, such as building [[Secret Base]]s, and an expert in stone throwing, being able to ricochet pebbles for long distances to cut {{Berries}} from trees and create distractions, which makes his {{i|Poké Ball}} throws very accurate. Roy also seems to enjoy mysteries and doesn't rest until he solved it.

Like his {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}}, he is shown to enjoy singing and eating berries and spicy food. Roy's enjoyment of berries and spicy flavored foods is also shown in his [[curry]], as seen in ''[[HZ027|As Long as I'm with My Friends]]'', as most of the ingredients he uses are spicy flavored and berries. However, despite berries and spicy stuff being his favorite food, Roy does like certain other types of foods, such as sweets. Roy also gets excited to eat in general, as seen in ''[[HZ019|The Bittersweet Truth]]'', when he and Fuecoco got excited to eat all the sweets that [[Murdock]] and {{OBP|Mitchell|HZ019}} made from their unexpected bake-off.
[[File:Roy Liko Dot.png|thumb|250px|left|Roy and his friends]]
After befriending and spending time with Fuecoco and [[Liko]], Roy learns that the feelings of the Trainer and the Pokémon have to coincide in order for a partnership to be born. Roy is also shown to be passionate about Pokémon, particularly [[Legendary Pokémon]], with his dream being to meet and battle them, much like the Ancient Adventurer, who managed to catch the {{Shiny|Black}} [[Black Rayquaza|Rayquaza]]. In addition, Roy would help any Pokémon in trouble as he would solve or work out their problems. Due to living on an island for most of his life, Roy can get excited to see various places for the first time. However, despite this, Roy does have social skills as he isn't shy to talk with people or Pokémon. Although, Roy can be oblivious when it comes to the field of romance until someone points it out to him. Roy also enjoys being around nature, and often does his online classes in various spots on the island, with him deciding to make the battlefield on the Brave Olivine his main place to do them.

Roy share a close relationship with his grandfather, as he raised and took care of him growing up. Since meeting [[Friede]] in ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', Roy began to show admiration for him, as he looks up to him for both his skills and knowledge as Pokémon Trainer and [[Pokémon Professor|Professor]]. Roy also takes inspiration from Friede, as seen in ''[[HZ017|Special Training Time!]]'', when he was inspired by his Pokémon training together and decided to do the same thing for his Pokémon. In addition, Roy seems to have a great relationship with the rest of his teammates. However, out of all of his teammates, Roy seems to have a special relationship with Liko, as they often hang out together and seem to enjoy each other's company. Throughout their journey, they would support each other, usually training together to become both better Trainers and versions of themselves. Roy seems to be very good friends with [[Dot]] and gets along well with her, as he would go to her for advice.

Ever since the events in ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', Roy took an interest in Pokémon battles and enjoys them, but lacked experiences. However, thanks to the help of others, Roy has shown gradual improvement in his skills. Roy has also learned that having his Pokémon train with each other not only helps them become stronger, but also would help strengthen both their friendship and teamwork, as seen in ''[[HZ017|Special Training Time!]]''. In addition, Roy learns that failure in a Pokémon battle is part of a Trainers growth. At first, Roy was only focusing on the battle and not everything around him. However, through [[Brassius]]'s advice in [[HZ048]], Roy realizes that using everything around him can help him in battle.

===Pokémon===
[[File:Roy team.png|thumb|250px|Roy and his Pokémon]]
Roy's team consist of gluttons and had various problems, which was either fear or insecurities. However, Roy was able to help his Pokémon overcome their fears and insecurities, such as his {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}}'s embarrassment of singing in front of others and {{TP|Roy|Wattrel}}'s fear of heights. Roy's Pokémon also look up to [[Friede]]'s Pokémon, due to them being a {{t|Fire}} and {{type|Electric}}.

Roy, in a version based on the anime, appeared in [[Pokémon Mezastar]]. In this game, Roy is seen using {{p|Quaxly}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Sprigatito}}, and {{p|Fuecoco}}, with Quaxly, Charizard, and Sprigatito being Pokémon that he was not seen using in the anime, although it could be a reference to [[Dot's Quaxly]], [[Friede's Charizard]], and [[Liko's Sprigatito]]. In the [[Gorgeous Star set 1 (Mezastar)|first Gorgeous Star series]], as part of a tie-in with the anime, [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] [[Liko]], Roy, [[Friede]] or [[Explorers]] Admin [[Amethio]], could randomly challenge the player as a Trainer and Battle opponent.

==Trivia==
* Roy was originally designed by [[Ken Sugimori]] before being adapted for the anime by the series' character designers.<ref name=anipoke20230303/><ref name=LikoRoyConcept/>
* Roy has a stylized {{p|Unown}} “R” on his shirt, which directly alludes to his name.
* Roy is the first:
** Male main character to keep his Japanese name in the English dub of the anime.
** Male main character to own a Pokémon that debuted before him, as {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} debuted one episode before [[HZ003|Roy's debut]].
** Main character to have obtained or caught a [[first partner Pokémon]] as their first Pokémon in their home region since {{an|Serena}}, who obtained her {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}} in ''[[XY004|A Shocking Cheeky Friendship!]]'', 435 episodes earlier.
** [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] member to defeat a [[Gym Leader]] in a [[Pokémon battle]].
* Roy's name was changed in the German, Spanish, French, and Portuguese localizations of the anime, presumably due to a naming conflict with [[Raihan]], one of the [[Gym Leader]]s in {{g|Sword and Shield}}, who is named "Roy" in those languages. His name was also changed in the Korean localization of the anime, presumably due to a naming conflict with [[James]], who is named "Roy" in that language.
* When {{Tera}}stallizing his {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}}, Roy uses the phrase (Japanese: '''輝け、夢の結晶''' ''shine bright, crystallization of our dreams'').

{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
[[Dot]] posts a Nidothing video in collaboration with [[Iono]] regarding their upcoming [[Terastal Training]] {{pkmn|battle}}, during which Iono expresses her hopes on her challenger battling true to herself. After the video has been posted, Dot talks with [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] about what she thinks "battling true to herself" means to her. Based on her [[HZ049|earlier battle]] against {{p|Varoom}}, she believes the answer to be creating a plan and following through with it. Having simulated a battle between {{TP|Dot|Quaxly}} and {{p|Bellibolt}} based on their [[move]]s, she believes she has a plan that she can follow. She does, however, acknowledge the fact that unexpected things can always happen, based on one of her Nidothing streams, where she accidentally messed up in the middle of a live broadcast, although this ended up spreading Nidothing's popularity further. As such, Dot spends the entire night refining her plan to be as comprehensive as possible, knowing full well that her unevolved {{t|Water}} type is at a severe disadvantage against a fully evolved {{t|Electric}} type.

The next morning, after refusing an offer from an ecstatic [[Murdock]] to come cheer for her in person, Dot heads out with Liko and Roy to prepare for her battle. Unnoticed by them, [[Sidian]] and [[Coral]] are following them to get intel on {{an|Terapagos}}, though Coral has more interest in getting some of the local {{wp|churro}}s. They are, though, noticed by [[Clavell]], who assumes that they have come to cheer for their fellow student and offers to join them in doing so, but the two walk away while Clavell is busy checking his phone. As the evening sun spreads orange light over [[Levincia]], Dot exits the [[Levincia Gym]], having been informed that the arrangements for her battle are done and that it'll take place at the central square. Clavell meets up with the three, wishes Dot good luck in her test, and asks how their journey has been going so far. Roy starts excitedly telling in length about what he [[HZ048|experienced]] in [[Artazon]], so Liko tells Dot to go ahead. Just as Dot heads off, Clavell turns to Liko and asks her how she's been doing.

As night descends over the central square, Iono starts a livestream to broadcast her and Dot's [[Terastal Training]] battle live. With a crowd around the square watching, Dot reminds herself to stick to the plan. Iono starts the battle with {{m|Spark}}, but Dot uses Quaxly's superior speed to avoid the attack. Iono orders another Spark from Bellibolt, but Quaxly again dodges it. Iono realizes that Dot had noticed that Bellibolt takes a moment to charge up the electricity required for the attack and used that opportunity to avoid it. While Dot orders a {{m|Water Gun}} as a counterattack, Liko and Clavell are still locked up in their conversation, until they notice Roy following Dot's battle on his [[Rotom Phone]] and are reminded of it. They rush to the central square, where Quaxly's Water Gun has only succeeded in triggering Bellibolt's {{a|Electromorphosis}} [[Ability]], building up electric power inside it. Dot tells Quaxly to dodge the incoming attack, but Iono surprises her by having Bellibolt unleash a powered-up {{m|Discharge}}, which hits Quaxly hard. Struggling to stand back up, Quaxly only barely avoids a Spark before striking back with {{m|Low Kick}} and Water Gun. Deciding on a moment of healing, Iono tells Bellibolt to use {{m|Slack Off}}. Quaxly's Water Gun barrage fails to stop Bellibolt from healing itself, and it stands back up, fully reenergized. Iono orders a Discharge, but due to Quaxly's attacks having left the battlefield soaking wet, this inadvertently knocks out power from the central square, causing both the lights and the livestream to be plunged into darkness.

Dot tries to come up with a new plan to deal with the situation, but her mind is drawing a blank due to the situation being too unexpected. She does, however, calm down upon seeing Quaxly dancing happily on the puddles around the square. Deciding to turn this disaster into success, Dot pulls out her [[Tera Orb]] and {{Tera}}stallizes Quaxly into a Water type. The timing of this maneuver catches Iono off-guard, and her confusion only grows when Dot tells Quaxly to repeatedly use Low Kick without taking advantage of the Terastallization. During the rapid-fire assault, Quaxly suddenly learns a new Water-type move and hits Bellibolt hard with a boosted {{m|Liquidation}}. Liko and Roy are happy about this, but at that moment, the lights and the cameras turn back on. With her livestream restored, Iono regains her usual confidence and decides to go all out too, Terastallizing Bellibolt into an Electric type and ordering another Discharge. Quaxly attempts a counterattack with Liquidation, but Discharge strikes first. When the attack dissipates, Quaxly's Terastallized state becomes undone and he [[Fainting|collapses]], making Iono the winner of the match. Dot admits that she lost, but, at Iono's insistence, also admits that she had fun. Iono emphasizes that having fun is a very important part of being a [[Pokémon Trainer]], and because of this and staying true to herself, she declares that Dot has passed her test. Liko and Roy come over to congratulate Dot while Iono concludes her livestream.

Later, at the Levincia Gym, Clavell also congratulates Dot on passing her test, before extending the same congratulations to Liko and Roy as well. Now that all three of them have passed their tests, he asks them all to return to [[Naranja Academy]], though he also reminds them to interact with [[wild Pokémon]] along the way and write their reports for [[Jacq]]. Before that, though, he again addresses Dot and asks her to teach him all that she knows about streaming, leaving Liko and Roy to awkwardly wait as yet another lengthy conversation ensues.

== Quaxly Liquidation ==
Just to verify, at the moment, only Liko and Roy are considered main characters so any of the other RVT members Pokemon learning a new move doesn't count as a major event.--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]], Junior Admin Bulbapedia ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 17:23, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
: Out of curiosity then, given the logic, why is Quaxly's Tera type considered a major event? [[User:Azure42|Azure/ChromeVoid42]] ([[User talk:Azure42|talk]]) 17:37, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
::I'm honestly not sure if it even should be there, either, along with several other mentions of Dot in the Terastal Debut major events. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 17:47, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
:::Sorry, but it doesn't make any sense to simply ignore Dot's presence in the anime's events. And considering that the narrative of this new anime includes characters other than Liko and Roy, it becomes even stranger, Dot's development is very different from what they did with Chloe in the past, I would even say superior. {{unsigned|Hikaru Wazana}}
::::Just because in your ''opinion'' Dot is playing a "bigger role" that Chloe, doesn't mean Dot is a main character. Opinions aren't facts. If the official sources do not outright state that she's a main character, then there isn't anything we can do about it. Trying to assert that she is would be misleading.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 18:14, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
:::::What FF said. In addition, her contribution to the series isn't being ignored. Her catching a new Pokémon, for example, still counts as a major event. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 18:18, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
::::::I didn't use my opinion, my opinion is that we can no longer use the rules of the anime from 25 years ago when Horizons has a completely different approach than what we had with Ash. That Dot (and any other RVT member) has a unique approach to anime is a fact.
::::::If the intention of the talk page is not to debate the subject, perhaps it would have been better not to have opened the discussion.--[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]) 18:27, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
:::::::I want to add on to what HW said, it's not just an opinion that Dot is a main character. I feel that given her continued inclusion in the anime on the level of Liko and Roy (the titled "Main" characters), maybe the notability rules need to be revisited. Dot might not be considered a "main" character, but she is a full travelling companion now. It would make sense for her milestones to be included in the "major events". → [[User:PikaTepig999|Pika]][[User talk:PikaTepig999|Tepig]][[Special:Contribs/PikaTepig999|999]] 19:40, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
::::::::"Dot's development is very different from what they did with Chloe in the past, ''I would even say superior.''" That is an opinion, Hikaru. Just because you think what they're doing with Dot is "superior" to Chloe, doesn't mean that she's a main character. And it's also your opinion that the "narrative of this new anime includes characters other than Liko and Roy", because (imo) they've been doing this since Sun & Moon, so it's not "exclusive" to the new anime series.
::::::::Just because it's a brand new series altogether, doesn't mean the rules no longer apply. It can be adjusted, but its doesn't mean we simply cast it aside completely. With this one, waiting for the official sources to call her a main character is justifiable (especially now that they're more open to sharing details and information than they were 15 years ago). We're not going to jump the gun and then get proven wrong later.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:20, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
:::::::::Okay, ForceFire. Good luck to anyone who decides to debate the subject, I'm out. --[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]) 12:40, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
{{indent}}I'm admittedly not super involved in our coverage of anime content, but...since when are major events explicitly limited to things that happen to a "main character"? Taking a look at [[History of the Pokémon world (anime)#Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon|the history of the Sun & Moon series]], major events are listed for a variety of characters: Ash, Lillie, Team Rocket, Sophocles, and Sophocles's rival Horacio, to name a few. The [[Bulbapedia:Manual of style/Anime#Content|anime manual of style]] isn't very clear about what counts as a major event. So, given the prevailing conventions, I'd think milestones for any recurring character should count towards the major events section. [[User:Storm Aurora|'''Storm Aurora''']] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 20:53, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
:A good point that was brought up in the [https://discord.com/channels/202737349996576769/1112282875153350666 project anime discord channel]: Earlier the credits for Horizons would list Dot [https://discord.com/channels/202737349996576769/1112282875153350666/1241655248590868560 below other] RVT members such as Friede and Orla. Recently, Dot has been listed [https://discord.com/channels/202737349996576769/1112282875153350666/1241860460676911115 immediately after] Liko and Roy in the credits. If I'm reading the above discussion correctly, the only reason that Dot is not a main character is because the series summary only calls Liko and Roy the protagonists. It is also noted that the series summary has ''NOT'' been ''updated'' since release. Various shows, animated and live action, have had instances of guests and recurring characters later promoted to the main cast. While you might be right in waiting for official sources to call Dot a main character to change that on BP, surely Dot's milestones can be included in the major events section from HZ046 or so onwards. The policy of only main character moves included there was made during Ash's era of the anime, but since Horizons is changing the formula, we cannot rely on those policies anymore and need to revisit them to update them for the current era. → [[User:PikaTepig999|Pika]][[User talk:PikaTepig999|Tepig]][[Special:Contribs/PikaTepig999|999]] 21:13, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

I swear you lot have had arguments like this before on other pages. Not getting involved, I’m just certain I’ve seen similar arguments on here [[User:Pokemaster124|Pokemaster124]] ([[User talk:Pokemaster124|talk]]) 05:36, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

:Supporting human characters achievements are counted as major events, but their Pokémon are not. I do not know the reasons for that being the case, but that was the "unwritten rule" put in place by staff before I was one. If I had to hazard a guess, it may be because supporting character's Pokémon never really did anything of note outside of battling 15-20 years ago, so they weren't put into the equation. Even then, we should still follow the old rules until they have been updated accordingly, rather than simply discarding them before they've even been updated.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:42, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

Respected. Like I said, I wasn’t trying to get involved I was just certain I’d seen similar arguments [[User:Pokemaster124|Pokemaster124]] ([[User talk:Pokemaster124|talk]]) 05:43, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

'''Hassel''' (Japanese: '''ハッサク''' ''Hassaku'') is a member of the [[Elite Four]] of the [[Paldea]] [[region]] and the art teacher at [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}}. He [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==In the core series games==
Hassel is a descendant of a long line of Dragon-type Trainers in an unnamed faraway region. He ran away from home as a youth to pursue a dream of "making music", before becoming a member of the Elite Four in the Paldea region as well as an art instructor at the academy. Hassel is shown to be friendly, but very emotional, as he bursts into tears of joy when defeated by the player. He is an old friend of Gym Leader [[Brassius]] of [[Artazon]].

During his bond story, a {{tc|Dragon Tamer}} arrives at the academy to get Hassel back home, claiming his father, the head of the family, is feeling ill, and Hassel should be taking his place as the head of the family. Through interactions with the {{player}}, Hassel gains the confidence to confront the Dragon Tamer, realizing her words about his father's deteriorating health were lies in another attempt to get him to come home and swearing to stay at the academy to teach.

In [[The Indigo Disk]], Hassel can be invited to [[Blueberry Academy]] as a special coach. A conversation between him and [[Drayton]] reveals that Hassel knows his grandfather, [[Drayden]].

===Pokémon===
Hassel will {{Tera}}stallize his {{p|Baxcalibur}} at the first opportunity.

==In the anime==

===Pokémon Horizons===
Hassel made a brief appearance alongside [[Rika]] in [[HZ046]] when welcoming [[Liko]], [[Roy]], and [[Dot]] to [[Naranja Academy]]

[[File:Hassel Paldean Winds.png|250px|thumb|Hassel in [[Pokémon: Paldean Winds]]]]
===Pokémon: Paldean Winds===
Hassel briefly appeared in ''[[PPW01|Breathe Out]]''. He was seen clapping alongside other teachers at [[Ohara]]'s performance.

In ''[[PPW04|Breathe Together]]'', Hassel was seen teaching a class during the [[Naranja Academy]] presentation video. In the video, he appears speaking while his students were painting {{p|Gible}}.

==In the manga==
[[File:Hassel Adventures.png|thumb|170px|Hassel in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
Hassel debuted in [[PASV02]]. He and several other teachers were called to an emergency meeting by [[Clavell]] to discuss {{adv|Violet}}, a new student that caused trouble during the Treasure Hunt's opening ceremony. Clavell informed the others of Violet's backstory and explained his behavior.
{{-}}

==In the TCG==
[[File:HasselTransformationMask98.jpg|200px|thumb|Regular print of Hassel]]
{{main|Hassel (Transformation Mask 98)}}
'''Hassel''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Scarlet & Violet Series (the Japanese Scarlet & Violet Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Transformation Mask}} expansion with artwork by [[GOSSAN]]. This card can only be used if any of the player's Pokémon were Knocked Out during their opponent's last turn. It lets the player look at the top 8 cards of their deck and choose up to 3 of them to put into their hand. The other cards are then shuffled back into the deck.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* The back vent on Hassel's coat could be in reference to the capes worn by {{tc|Dragon Tamer}}s, whom Hassel has a history with, being a Dragon-type Trainer himself.
** It might also be a nod to [[Clair]] and her design in [[Generation II]] due to how her cape resembles part of a suit.
* Prior to the release of [[The Indigo Disk]], Hassel was the only Paldean Elite Four member that could be rebattled indefinitely.
* Hassel is left-handed, as shown when he throws his {{i|Poké Ball}}s and in his official concept art painting a portrait of an {{p|Applin}}.

'''Dot''' (Japanese: '''ドット''' ''Dot'') is a supporting character in ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''. She is a skilled programmer and a member of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]. Online, she is known as '''Nidothing''' (Japanese: '''ぐるみん''' ''Gurumin''), a popular streamer that makes videos on various topics of the [[Pokémon world]].

==In the anime==
===History===
====Pre-series====
[[File:Dot and Friede.png|250px|thumb|left|Dot meeting Friede for the first time]]
Dot grew up with her mother, [[Blanca]], and has come to know her uncle, [[Murdock]].

Prior to ''[[HZ015|Someone We Can't See! Whosawhatsit?]]'', before becoming a popular content creator, Dot was a fan of [[Iono]], which inspired her to become a video streamer, Nidothing. After this, Dot's video channel on the internet became a hit among Trainers.

As revealed in [[HZ041]], prior to boarding the [[Brave Olivine]], Dot struggled to find inspiration for her Nidothing videos, as she lacked the personal experience needed to properly discuss the topics she covered. One day, she met [[Friede]], a [[Pokémon Professor]] and friend of Murdock. Knowing about Dot's technical prowess, Friede asked if she could develop an app for his band of adventurers, the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]. Dot initially refused, but after receiving advice from Iono to go out and see the world, she decided to join Friede's group on their adventures. She was allowed to board the ship with the condition that Dot would return home if her mother felt she had been away from home for too long, with Murdock looking after her.

After becoming a member, Dot used her genius computer skills to create the Brave Olivine's technology system and created the [[Pokédex]] system used by members of the Rising Volt Tacklers. Dot also befriended a {{TP|Dot|Quaxly}} that lived on the Brave Olivine. Eventually, she formed a friendship with Iono, whom she refers to as (Japanese: '''ナンジャモお姉さん''' ''Big sister Nanjyamo'').

====''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''====
[[File:Dot and Ludlow picnic.png|250px|thumb|right|Dot and Ludlow having fun on a picnic]]
Dot first appeared in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]'', taking part in several videos alongside Quaxly in her Nidothing costume.

She debuted as herself in ''[[HZ007|Special Training with Cap!]]'', where it was revealed she was part of the Rising Volt Tacklers as well as [[Murdock]]'s niece. [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] went to Dot's room hoping to gather information on the [[Black Rayquaza]]'s whereabouts, only to receive a drawing of Roy losing a battle. Later, after seeing Liko and Roy's dedication to becoming better Trainers, Dot gave them another drawing indicating that Rayquaza was in the [[Paldea]] [[region]].

In the following [[HZ008|episode]], while Liko came to visit after Dot rebuffed her for her share of the food, Liko heard Nidothing's video theme from behind Dot's door and assumed Dot also enjoyed watching Nidothing's livestreams. Liko attempted to invite Dot to watch the livestream together, but was caught off guard upon hearing Dot abruptly shouting about something, leaving Liko confused. Liko told her how much she admires Nidothing, how knowledgeable she was about Pokémon, and how fun it was to watch her. Afterwards, while Liko was watching her video in real time, Dot read her comment, which made Liko flustered that someone she admired was reading her comment. The comment shared a similar description of Dot's personality, making Dot feel awkward. During the day, Murdock tried to get Dot out of her room by placing a tray of his donuts in a cabinet. Later that night, Dot, having been touched by Liko's kindness, sneaked into the kitchen and grabbed them for herself and Quaxly, making Murdock happy that his plan was successful.

In ''[[HZ009|Welcome to Paldea!]]'', as soon as Liko arrived in [[Paldea]], Dot began to open up a little more to her. Following [[Ludlow]]'s advice, Dot left an illustration on Liko's bedroom door and when she thanked her, Dot said on the other side that she would wait for her. Accidentally, Liko saw Dot laundering her Nidothing costume while on her way to her house to approach {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} again. However, in ''[[HZ011|Arboliva's Forest]]'', while Dot was trying to tell Liko the truth, Liko revealed that she just thought that Dot was just a Nidothing fan, leaving Liko without actually knowing the Nidothing's real identity.

In ''[[HZ013|An Unexpected Picnic!]]'', as Dot was in progress of making a new video about [[Picnic|picnics]], she didn't have any idea on what to talk about, as she'd never been in a picnic before. After receiving a message from Liko, that she could make her own sandwich in the meeting room, causing Dot's stomach to growl. She decided to leave her room and to her surprise, she found table of [[sandwich]] [[ingredient]]s that she could use, though she didn't know how to make one. Ludlow explained to Dot that Liko wanted to share fun experiences with her to help build a better friendship. Considering Ludlow's words and with the help of her fellow members, she was able to create a video about picnicking. Afterwards, as thanks, Dot sent Liko a message of her wearing her Nidothing costume alongside with Quaxly and Ludlow, but Liko once again failed to make the connection. Ludlow and Friede decided to let Dot be the one to decide when to actually explain the truth to Liko.

[[File:Dot and Iono.png|thumb|250px|Dot and Iono interacting with each other]]
In ''[[HZ015|Someone We Can't See! Whosawhatsit?]]'', Dot was tasked to find information on the whereabouts to where Liko is located. Initially, Dot informed the Rising Volt Tacklers that Liko had been seen in [[Artazon]]. Unfortunately, they were unable to find her, due to getting tricked by false information. Urgently Dot contacted [[Iono]] for help and, using her live show to her advantage, she started to find Liko: Iono unexpectedly started a game of tag to search for the girl, which Dot was not expecting that to happen, disconnecting as the live show was still continuing. As the Rising Volt Tacklers were leaving, she requested Friede to bring her to [[Levincia]] as well. After landing in town, Roy was the first to see her in person, acknowledging her as Dot, seeing how friendly Quaxly was towards her. Using the information from participants of the game started by Iono, Dot and Roy were able to find Liko. Though, when first meeting face to face, Liko didn't know who Dot was, not until she introduced herself, leaving Liko surprised. Iono arrived to find both Roy and Liko on top of the building, as Dot leaves and hid to play the role of Nidothing. After all that, it left Dot exhausted from being outside.

[[File:Liko Roy Dot Paldean first partners.png|250px|thumb|left|Dot and her friends battling the Explorers]]
In the [[HZ016|next episode]], Dot caught Quaxly as her first Pokémon and partner. Dot went with Liko and Roy to look around Levincia to find the pendant until the ancient {{i|Poké Ball}} that holds {{p|Arboliva}} led them to where [[Spinel]] was. After finding Spinel's location, Dot participated in her first official Pokémon battle with her friends. Once Liko recovered the pendant, Dot and her friends made their escape through Arboliva. Later, through Quaxly's encouragement, Dot revealed to Liko that she was Nidothing, much to her shock.

In ''[[HZ018|Flying Pikachu, Rising Higher and Higher!]]'', Dot and her friends got curious as to how [[Captain Pikachu]] was able to fly during his battle against Roy in the [[HZ017|previous episode]]. Although they asked Friede for answers, they couldn't get the information they wanted. However, Dot and her friends refused to give up as they decided to ask the rest of the members, but could't get an answer from them either. Despite this, Dot and her friends curiosity did get the rest of the members curious as well. They all decided to ask Friede for answers, as they were able to convince him into telling them as to how he met Captain Pikachu and the formation of the Rising Volt Tacklers.

In ''[[HZ027|As Long as I'm with My Friends]]'', a series of information that Dot collected led her to arrange a meeting with someone in the [[Wild Area]] in [[Galar]]. When she got there, she discovered that it was false information, despite this, Liko and the other Rising Volt Tacklers decided to camp there and prepare [[curry]]. Trying to get Dot in at all times, Liko managed to convince her to participate in the preparation of the food. At the end of the day, Dot thanked Liko for doing this.

In [[HZ031]], Dot joined her friends and Ludlow in finding a {{p|Lapras}}, who happened to be one of Lucius's Pokémon, after they got a led through a ship crew that saw the Transport Pokémon. Fortunately, Dot, Liko, Roy, and Ludlow were able to find Lapras, but they failed to get it to come out, as it was covered by a {{m|Mist}} and two Pokémon appeared on the ship. Fortunately, Dot got a shot of a shadow in the Mist, which helped Friede devised a plan to get Lapras back. In the [[HZ032|next episode]], Dot connoted to help the group in searching for Lapras, which she was able to do.

In [[HZ034]], Dot was editing a Nidothing video when she got a call from Iono. However, their call was interrupted by Liko and Roy's arrival in her room. After being informed of {{OBP|Diana|Horizons}}'s departure, Dot attended a surprise party they planed for her, as they wanted to give her a proper farewell. Once they bid farewell to Diana, the Rising Volt Tacklers resumed their search for the remaining Six Heroes. However, Dot was informed by Friede that they were returning to Paldea first in order to gain information on {{an|Terapagos}}.
[[File:Dot and Blanca.png|250px|thumb|right|Dot and Blanca]]
In [[HZ036]], Dot asked Liko and Roy to assist her with a request she received from a Nidothing fan named [[Yuno]] in [[Pigton Town]]. Yuno explained that she was struggling to find a suitable partner for her {{p|Oinkologne}} to team up with in the upcoming [[Pigton Town Tag Battle]]. To Yuno's frustration, her Oinkologne had feelings for another Oinkologne owned by her childhood friend, [[Renta]]. With help from Quaxly, Dot and the others managed to get Yuno and Renta to work together and compete in the tournament, which they ended up winning.

In [[HZ039]], Dot's microphone broke down during a Nidothing livestream. She, Liko, and Roy went on a trip to [[Tetsuron Town]], where she purchased a replacement microphone and another to use as a prop. After getting separated from the others, Dot came across a wild {{p|Tinkatink}} failing to take a man's hammer. To Dot's surprise, Tinkatink stole the prop microphone and immediately began working it into a new hammer. Later, Tinkatink climbed aboard the Brave Olivine in order to show Dot the hammer it made, only to be blamed for destroying the ship's supply of iron materials. The true culprit was a wild {{p|Orthworm}}, which Dot managed to defeat and drive off with Quaxly and Tinkatink's help. Upon realizing that Tinkatink wanted to stay with her, Dot accepted her wish and used a {{i|Poké Ball}} Quaxly gave her to catch her. Later, Dot introduced Tinkatink to her viewers in a livestream, only to nearly have her identity exposed when Tinkatink tried to steal the zipper off her Nidothing costume.

In [[HZ041]], Dot's mother [[Blanca]] came aboard the Brave Olivine, intending to take Dot home with her. Worried for how Dot felt about the situation, Liko and Roy asked her to tell them about how she came aboard the Brave Olivine. Later, when Blanca realized her daughter had become a Trainer, she challenged Dot to a battle, much to the latter's confusion. During their battle, Dot conveyed to Blanca how much she had grown as a person after joining the Rising Volt Tacklers. Her determination to win allowed Quaxly to learn {{m|Low Kick}} and defeat Blanca's {{p|Lycanroc}}. Afterward, Dot asked if she could end the trial period and become a permanent member of the Rising Volt Tacklers, which Blanca readily agreed to.

===Character===
[[File:Dot eyes.png|250px|thumb|Dot with her hair up]]
As an influencer and a video distributor, it is Nidothing's job to entertain young aspiring Trainers. Within the videos, she is seen as perky, using exaggerated teaching methods, and giving a beginner's guide to Trainers interested in starting their own {{pkmn|journey}}. However, after becoming a Pokémon Trainer herself in ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]'', Dot got a taste of Pokémon battles, which she found enjoyable. Dot also uses the experiences she gained from being a Trainer as inspiration for her videos, as seen in ''[[HZ026|Terapagos's Adventure!]]'', when she attempted to make a video about [[Multi Battle]], but was interrupted by {{an|Terapagos}}, although she did finish making the video in the [[HZ027|next episode]].

As Nidothing, she always starts her videos or livestreams with the catchphrase, '''''What's up!''''' (Japanese: '''よぉーっす！''' ''Yoo-su!''). Her Japanese catchphrase is a combination of the common English slang "yo" and part of {{p|Quaxly}}'s Japanese name. Outside of being a streamer, Dot seems to be reclusive and spends most of her time behind doors creating videos, and is rarely seen by the other [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] members. Rather than having herself talk to [[Roy]] and [[Liko]], she used {{TP|Dot|Quaxly}} as a messenger to communicate with them. Due to her shyness, having lunch with the other members is bothersome to her. However, after being touched by Liko's kindness, Dot opens up a bit, as seen in ''[[HZ008|The Door That Never Opens]]'' when she sneaked out of her room to grab the donuts [[Murdock]] made for her and Quaxly. This was shown again in the [[HZ009|next episode]], where Dot took [[Ludlow]] advice to the heart, as she realized that she and Liko do have some similarities, even leaving a drawing for her at her room.
[[File:Roy Liko Dot.png|250px|thumb|left|Dot and her friends]]
Dot eventually grew to consider Liko a friend, as seen in ''[[HZ013|An Unexpected Picnic!]]'', when she was surprised that she wanted to share experiences with her by giving her and Ludlow their own picnic to enjoy on the [[Brave Olivine]]. Dot also went out of her way to look for Liko when she went missing in ''[[HZ015|Someone We Can't See! Whosawhatsit?]]'', as she left her room and the Brave Olivine to find her. At first, Dot found Roy annoying, but was intrigued that he had a rare {{i|Poké Ball}} that had a Black Rayquaza inside it. However, after teaming up with him in looking for Liko and battling against the [[Explorers]], Dot warmed up to Roy and came to see him as a friend. Dot also watched Roy's second battle against [[Friede]] in ''[[HZ017|Special Training Time!]]''.

Dot tends to get easily nervous or anxious on a tight schedule, or frustrated when she sees a comment on one of her videos she doesn't like. Dot is also shown to grow increasingly afraid and conflicted about any of her fans finding out that she's Nidothing. However, Dot does show guilt for her unwelcoming attitude towards others, deciding to read Liko's comment as Nidothing during said livestream to make up for turning her down. Despite not wanting others to know the truth, Dot does bring herself to make an attempt to confess to Liko that she is Nidothing after gradually warming up to her, as seen in ''[[HZ011|Arboliva's Forest]]''. However, after being encouraged by Quaxly, Dot fully tells Liko the truth about being Nidothing in ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]''. Dot even told Roy that she is Nidothing, as she came to trust him to know the truth about her influencer and a video distributor identity.

Dot dislikes being misled, as seen in ''[[HZ015|Someone We Can't See! Whosawhatsit?]]'', when she found out that the information she got about Liko's whereabouts were false. This was shown again in ''[[HZ027|As Long as I'm with My Friends]]'', when she got misled in getting information about the [[Black Rayquaza]]. Although she still spends most of her time in her room, Dot seems to be more open in leaving it and interacting with others. Dot also seems to be comfortable in letting Liko and Roy in her room. In addition, Dot seems to be interacting with the rest of her teammates and Murdock a little bit more, as she is starting to open up to them.

She appears to be tomboyish in appearance. In Japanese, she uses the {{wp|Japanese pronouns|first-person personal pronoun}} {{tt|僕|ぼく}} ''boku'', a pronoun which is primarily used by males; when used by females, it is associated with tomboys.

===Pokémon===
[[File:Dot team.png|thumb|250px|Dot and her Pokémon]]
Dot's team consists of Pokémon who are the opposite of her in personality, as they have shown the traits that their Trainer doesn't usually show. Also, Dot's Pokémon have shown to have an influence on others, especially to their Trainer, such as her Quaxly's outgoing personality and her Tinkatink's determination to go for what you really want.

==Blurb==

As our heroes make their way through the Lumiose Badlands, Clemont remembers his promise to battle Ash at the Lumiose Gym for Ash’s fifth Gym badge. But Clemont now has doubts about his own readiness to take the challenge...

When they reach the Kalos Power Plant, our heroes discover it has been seized by Team Rocket! The villains have also taken control of all the Electric-type Pokémon in the area, including Pikachu, Dedenne, and Luxio, and they’re threatening to shut down power to Lumiose City.

It’s an uphill battle, but our heroes demonstrate exceptional bravery in rescuing the Pokémon from Team Rocket’s clutches. And after helping to overload the power plant’s systems, Clemont’s Luxio evolves into a Luxray!

When the plant manager prepares to fly to Lumiose City to report, Clemont asks if he can come along. He needs some time to sharpen his skills before his Gym battle with Ash, so he bids the rest of our heroes goodbye for now!

==Plot==
On their way to [[Lumiose City]] via the [[Kalos Route 13|Lumiose Badlands]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are sharing lunch. However, {{an|Clemont}} has been thinking a lot recently about how Ash never forgot about [[XY009|the promise they made to each other]] and their Gym battle at the [[Lumiose Gym]]. Lost in thought about his anxiety for the upcoming battle, Clemont accidentally burns their food, causing the others to express their concern and ask if he is all right. After Clemont assures them that he is fine, the group continues onward and comes across the [[Kalos Power Plant]]. {{an|Bonnie}} tells Ash and {{an|Serena}} that Clemont built the plant, though her brother corrects her that he only helped with the programming and explains to them that the Power Plant generates solar energy in space and then sends it to Earth.

As they approach the Plant, however, Clemont notices that the parabolic antennae are facing down instead of up like they usually do. The group continues forward when {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}}, and {{TP|Clemont|Luxio}} all cry out in pain before their eyes glow red and they run to the Plant. The group chases after them, only to find a plethora of {{t|Electric}} Pokémon waiting at the entrance, all of them with the same hypnotized look as Pikachu, Dedenne, and Luxio. Unable to get in after their Pokémon, Clemont remembers the Power Plant has giant air vents from the blueprints he saw. Arriving there, Ash tells {{AP|Frogadier}} to use its frubbles to stop the fan in one of the vents, allowing them to sneak inside.

Following Clemont's lead, the four of them crawl through the ventilation system and stop to look down into a room after spotting three workers tied up there. Ash and his friends fall through the vent into the room, where they free the workers and ask for an explanation. The workers tell them how [[Team Rocket trio|a group of criminals]] had tricked them into allowing them inside before commandeering the Power Plant. When they mention that the criminals had a talking {{MTR}}, Ash and the others immediately realize that Team Rocket is behind this. With the workers free, they form a plan to free the Electric Pokémon and oust Team Rocket from the Plant. The Power Plant workers will clear the way for Ash and company to get to the central control room, and when the superconducting ring turns red, indicating a backwards flow of electricity, Clemont will initiate an electric surge that will cause a temporary overload and give the Pokémon time to break free of their control.

The group hides in the center area of the plant, but Team Rocket spots them immediately and demonstrates their control by shutting down the power in Lumiose City, leaving the group unable to do anything for fear of the havoc Team Rocket is wreaking. Seizing their opportunity, Team Rocket uses guidance waves to have Pikachu attack Ash, but their plan nearly backfires when Ash is able to withstand the zapping and get close to Pikachu. In response to this, Luxio charges forward and tackles Ash, at which point Clemont runs forward and tries to stop Luxio. However, Luxio attacks his Trainer with a vicious {{m|Thunder Fang}} attack. Clemont holds on to Luxio, saying that he is right there with his Pokémon and he knows how much pain Luxio must be in. Mimicking Ash's vow to never give up until Luxio is free from Team Rocket's control, Luxio finally hears Clemont's voice just as the superconducting ring in the center of the Plant glows red. Taking this chance, Clemont attaches his [[Clemontic Gear|Aipom Arm]] to the floor and uses his body as Luxio's grounding, telling his Pokémon to keep discharging as much as he can. The overload is successful and Pikachu, Dedenne, Luxio, and the other Pokémon are temporarily freed from Team Rocket's control. As Clemont nearly passes out from the electricity he endured, Luxio [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Luxray}} and uses {{m|Electric Terrain}} to destroy the mind-controlling devices, before all the Electric Pokémon join forces and send Team Rocket blasting off again.

Outside, Clemont apologizes for destroying parts of the Power Plant in his attempt to stop Team Rocket. Though they thank him for his efforts and saving the power supply for Lumiose City. As one of the workers leaves for Lumiose City in a helicopter, to everyone's surprise, Clemont asks to go with him, wanting to have some time at the Gym to train, reflect on himself, and prepare for his Gym battle with Ash. As the helicopter flies away, Ash promises to win the Voltage Badge from Clemont and Clemont vows that he will not lose to Ash.

Pokemaster124: /* Ash’s Greninja */ new section

==Red Zygarde==
In the intro, there's one scene where Ash and the others are standing to defend Puni-chan from Team Flare, Alain, and what seems to be a Red Zygarde in 50% forme. It's Z2, but it's red. I talked to a friend and he says he sees a red version too. Is this an animation error, or something more? [[User:Pikatwig|Pikatwig]] ([[User talk:Pikatwig|talk]]) 07:41, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
:Unless you're talking about somthing else, Zygarde (and Team Flare/Alain/Charizard) just have a red tint from whatever's below them. It's not actually red. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 08:57, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

== Ash’s Greninja ==

I noticed in the animation opening spoilers it says about Sawyers’s Grovyle evolving into Sceptile and being able to mega evolve but could you also add Ash’s Frogadier evolving into Greninja and becoming Ash-Greninja. If not I understand I just thought that because it was still Frogadier at the end of Kalos Quest [[User:Pokemaster124|Pokemaster124]] ([[User talk:Pokemaster124|talk]]) 12:49, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

Poké Ball

Pokemaster124: /* Pokémon housed in Ancient Poké Balls */Added the episodes english title in which arboliva appeared

{{Featured|May 9, 2007}}
{{search|type of item|the item called Poké Ball|Poké Ball (item)}}
----
[[File:Poké Balls GL.png|thumb|250px|27 Poké Ball variants found in the [[core series]] (prior to Pokémon Legends: Arceus)]]
[[File:Poké Ball sketch.png|thumb|250px|Original concept]]
A '''Poké Ball''' (Japanese: '''モンスターボール''' ''Monster Ball'') is a type of [[item]] that is critical to a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s quest, used for {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} and storing {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Both a general term used to describe the various kinds as well as a specific term to refer to the most basic among these variations, Poké Balls are ubiquitous in the modern Pokémon world.

Up to six Pokémon can be carried with a {{pkmn|Trainer}} in Poké Balls, while more Poké Balls can be held in the [[Bag]] for later use. These six Pokémon in the Poké Balls can be attached to the user's belt for carrying them around. Some Pokémon do not like to be carried around in Poké Balls, such as [[Ash's Pikachu]].

Stylized Poké Balls are used in many places to symbolize Pokémon in general: the logos of the [[Battle Frontier]]s, the [[Pokémon Contest]]s, the [[Pokéathlon]], and the [[Pokémon Musical]] all feature a Poké Ball in their design, while several Poké Balls can be seen in every Pokémon Center. The headgear of the protagonists of [[Kanto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Unova]]-based games feature Poké Ball designs, as do the [[Bag]]s of the protagonists of [[Johto]]-based games. {{ga|Ethan}}'s headgear is also similar to the top half of an Ultra Ball, and {{ga|Lucas}}'s Bag prominently features a Poké Ball.

==In the core series games==
The strength of a Poké Ball is determined by how much it raises a [[wild Pokémon]]'s [[catch rate]], and may in fact vary depending on the conditions of the battle. Poké Balls limit the power of Pokémon contained inside, taming them, though they do not cause the Pokémon inside to always obey the Trainer.

===History===
{{main|History of Poké Balls}}
[[File:Legends Arceus Poké Ball.png|thumb|150px|A Poké Ball used by those who explored the Hisui region]]
The invention of Poké Balls occurred in the [[Johto]] region, where [[Apricorn]]s grow; these fruit were cut apart and carved out, then fitted with a special device, and used to catch wild Pokémon. Some Trainers still use Poké Balls made from Apricorns, while [[Kurt]], a resident of [[Azalea Town]], still constructs them. [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] shows that the first settlers of the [[Sinnoh]] region, back when it was known as the [[Hisui]] region, used pre-modern Poké Balls made of [[Tumblestone]] and Apricorns, with [[Professor Laventon]] claiming they were a more recent invention. According to [[Professor Elm]], before the invention of the Poké Ball, people would [[Walking Pokémon|walk with their Pokémon]].

In the games, in the [[Memory Link]] event {{DL|Memory Link|A New Light}}, [[Drayden]] claims that Poké Balls did not exist during his childhood.

Modern Poké Balls are not normally made from Apricorns, with the exception of specialist Poké Balls such as the [[Moon Ball]]. Modern Poké Balls are manufactured by [[Silph Co.]], the [[Devon Corporation]], and the Kalos [[Poké Ball Factory]].

===Mechanics and design===
Though the technology behind a Poké Ball remains unknown and has evolved through the centuries to accommodate the diverse requirements of their creators, the basic mechanics are simple enough to understand and tend to remain constant: in a [[Pokémon battle]], once an opposing wild Pokémon has been weakened, the Pokémon Trainer can throw a Poké Ball at it. When a Poké Ball hits the Pokémon, as long as it is not deflected, the Poké Ball will open, cause the Pokémon to shrink, store it inside, and close. A Pokémon in this state is given a chance to struggle to attempt to break free from the ball and escape, being instantly growing back in size. Should a Pokémon escape a Poké Ball, the device is destroyed in the games (unlike in the anime). A Pokémon who does not escape the Ball will be {{pkmn2|caught}}. [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] elaborates a bit on how the Pokémon are contained in a Poké Ball, with [[Professor Laventon]] explaining that Pokémon have the ability to reduce their size to miniscule, and Poké Balls take advantage of this to contain them.

Poké Balls are specifically constructed for Pokémon capture, transport, and training. As well as being physically difficult to escape from (as they seal tightly shut as soon as a Pokémon is taken into them) the environment of a Poké Ball is designed to be attractive to Pokémon also; according to Lucian of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four]], weakened Pokémon instinctively curl up tight in an attempt to heal themselves, an action that the environment of the Poké Ball encourages. Furthermore, while it is not known how caught Pokémon perceives their time inside their Ball, the device is said to replicate a "Pokémon-friendly" environment that is "designed for comfort". All of these factors strongly discourage Pokémon from escaping their Balls. In the manga, Bugsy refers to his "capture net" as being the net that is supposedly inside a Poké Ball, but visible and already deployed. According to Kurt, this invisible net captures and physically stores a Pokémon.

When a Trainer [[Dynamax]]es or [[Gigantamax]]es a Pokémon, the Poké Ball expands to the size of an {{wp|Ball (association football)|association football}}.

In some games, a [[Ball Capsule]] can be used in combination with [[Seal]]s to create special effects when the Pokémon is sent out.

===Poké Ball accuracy===
:''See also: [[Catch rate]]''

In some scenarios, a Poké Ball can miss the wild Pokémon completely (in contrast to breaking if the Poké Ball does not successfully capture the Pokémon):
* In the [[Generation I]] games, it was possible for a ball to miss the Pokémon when the likelihood of catching the Pokémon in question was particularly low—rather than the ball throwing animation playing and the ball wiggling zero times, a message would come up stating "You missed the <sc>Pokémon</sc>!".
* In the Generation I games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the {{OBP|ghost|Pokémon Tower}}s in [[Lavender Town]]'s [[Pokémon Tower]] dodge any ball thrown at them before being unmasked by the [[Silph Scope]]. The [[Marowak (ghost)|Marowak ghost]] will dodge all Poké Balls even if it is unmasked.
* In {{LGPE}}, and in {{g|Legends: Arceus}} outside of battle, Poké Balls are thrown manually, and the player must aim properly to hit the Pokémon. Some Poké Balls, namely the {{hi|Heavy Ball}} and [[Feather Ball]] lines, have noticeably different throwing distances and trajectories compared to the standard variations.

In other scenarios, it is simply not possible to use Poké Balls in the first place:
* In the Generation I and II core series games, if both the player's party and their current [[Pokémon Storage System|Box]] are full, the player cannot throw a Poké Ball.
* In the [[core series]] games, in {{pkmn2|wild}} battles the player cannot throw a Poké Ball if there are multiple opponents—such as in wild [[Double Battle]]s, [[Horde Encounter]]s, or [[SOS Battle]]s—with the game claiming that it's impossible to aim.
** This is not the case in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}.
* From {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} onward, it is not possible to throw a Poké Ball if the opposing Pokémon is in the [[semi-invulnerable turn]] of a move (such as {{m|Fly}} or {{m|Dig}}).
* Starting in [[Generation V]], in [[Double Battle|Double]] and [[Triple Battle]]s, it is not possible to issue a command to one Pokémon and then throw a Poké Ball as the second Pokémon's turn. However, it is still possible to throw a Poké Ball if one Pokémon is in the middle of a two-turn move.
* In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, [[Ghetsis]] uses his cane to control a wild {{p|Kyurem}} and orders it to attack the {{player}}. The cane also emits signals that disrupt the use of empty Poké Balls, preventing Kyurem from being captured during the climax.
* In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, the player is forbidden from throwing Poké Balls at wild Pokémon in a [[Island challenge|trial]] site until the trial has been cleared.
* In Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, a signal that prevents the use of empty Poké Balls is broadcast throughout [[Aether Paradise]] to protect the Pokémon living there. This prevents the player from capturing the wild {{p|Nihilego}} that attacks them on their first visit to the facility.
* In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, the player cannot use a Poké Ball on a {{p|Necrozma}} that has {{form|Necrozma|fused}} with a {{p|Solgaleo}} or {{p|Lunala}}.
* In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, the player cannot catch a Pokémon whose level is above the limit the player's current [[Badge]]s can allow. Such Pokémon is described as "very strong-looking".
* In [[The Crown Tundra]] expansion, the player cannot catch {{p|Spectrier}} or {{p|Glastrier}} during the encounter with it in the village because "It won't let its guard down!"
* In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, the player cannot catch the {{form|Giratina|Origin Forme}} {{p|Giratina}} encountered inside the Distortion Room in [[Ramanas Park]].
* In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, the player cannot catch certain Pokémon, including [[noble Pokémon]] and {{p|Arceus}}.
* In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, the player cannot throw a Poké Ball at a wild {{Tera}} Pokémon until it is sufficiently weakened, breaking through its transformation.

* Check if a Pokémon caught in HGSS with a Johto-exclusive ball (Level Ball, Friend Ball, Moon Ball, etc.) appears with the correct ball in the summary and battles in games where those balls are unavailable (Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Gen V, and Gen VI)
* Check if the Johto-exclusive ball is preserved if a Pokémon is traded back and forth between HGSS and DPPt
* Check if the Johto-exclusive ball is preserved if a Pokémon is transferred all the way from HGSS to gen VII
}}

In the Pokémon games so far, there have been 34 (38 if the Hisuian Poké Ball, Great Ball, Ultra Ball, and Heavy Ball are considered distinct from their modern-day counterparts) different varieties of Poké Balls, all differing from each other in some way, whether it be an increased ability to catch a Pokémon from the wild or an effect which occurs only after the Pokémon has been caught. From Generation III onward, each variety of Poké Ball has a unique animation when it sends out a Pokémon (and also when it catches one prior to Generation VI), and the type of Poké Ball used to catch the Pokémon is preserved on its [[summary]] screen.

Prior to Generation VI, all hatched Pokémon are in a standard Poké Ball. In [[Generation VI]], a [[Pokémon breeding|bred]] Pokémon will be in the same Poké Ball as its mother, unless its mother was in a Cherish Ball or Master Ball, in which case the Pokémon will be in a standard Poké Ball; Pokémon bred from a male or gender-unknown Pokémon and {{p|Ditto}} will hatch in a standard Poké Ball. Since [[Generation VII]], Pokémon bred from a male and a Ditto inherit the father's ball as well, and if two Pokémon of the same species in different balls are bred, the resulting offspring will be in either the mother's or father's ball. This also applies if the parents are different [[regional form]]s. Much like the Cherish Ball or Master Ball, the Strange Ball introduced in [[Generation VIII]] cannot be inherited and resulting offspring will be in standard Poké Balls.

Regardless of type of Poké Ball, {{m|Fling}} will fail if the user is holding one.

Starting in [[Generation III]], each type of Poké Ball has an [[index number]] associated with it that is stored in the [[Pokémon data substructures (Generation_III)#Origins|data structure]] of the Pokémon when {{pkmn2|caught}} or otherwise obtained a given type of ball. [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II|II]] did not store this data, resulting in any Pokémon [[transfer]]red from [[Virtual Console]] via [[Poké Transporter]] being placed into standard Poké Balls. Pokémon caught in [[Park Ball]]s within [[Pal Park]] will retain their original Poké Ball and index number from Generation III. Pokémon originating from {{g|Legends: Arceus}} which are then transferred into another game, (vice versa for those caught outside Legends: Arceus and then transferred in), will be displayed in [[Strange Ball]]s while visiting a game where the Pokémon's ball is not programmed into the game, but will still retain its original index number. Pokémon originating from Legends: Arceus visiting {{g|Sword and Shield}} will temporarily have their ball converted into a standard Poké Ball, with their original ball data being stored in [[Pokemon HOME]]'s server.

Every Poké Ball (except the Beast Ball and Master Ball) has a 0.1× catch rate modifier when attempting to catch an [[Ultra Beast]].

| In {{g|Sun and Moon}} only, a Heavy Ball will always fail to catch a Pokémon whose weight is less than 220.46 lbs (100.0 kg) and whose catch rate is less than or equal to 20. This is because the game will set the catch rate to 0 when the catch rate becomes negative due to the -20 modifier that is applied.

===Other variants===
* The [[GS Ball]] is an event item that appears only in {{game|Crystal}}, where it was part of a giveaway on the [[Mobile System GB]] for Japanese games, similar to [[event item]]s given out via [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] and [[Nintendo Network]] from [[Generation IV]] onward. It was not used to catch any Pokémon and was placed in the [[Key Items]] pocket. If given to [[Kurt]] for inspection, it will activate an event where the player can catch a {{p|Celebi}} in [[Ilex Forest]].
* A few sprites in the [[Generation III]] core series games have off-color Poké Balls due to sprite palette limitations. While they are most likely intended to be standard Poké Balls, their color scheme is sometimes distinct from the usual color scheme.
* When transferring Pokémon via [[Poké Transfer]], a blue-colored Poké Ball is used to catch the Pokémon in the minigame. They are shot using a bow.
* In the [[Timegate Traveler Series]] featured in [[Pokéstar Studios]], the future is ruled by {{type|Bug}} Pokémon that capture wild humans in Human Balls (Japanese: '''ヒューマンボール''' ''Human Ball'') instead of the other way around. They have no visual difference to Poké Balls.
* In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, the [[Dynamax Band]] allows Trainers to increase the size of Poké Balls, making them look like giant [[Premier Ball]]s.
** When a Pokémon is [[Dynamax]]ed (including [[Gigantamax]]ing) with a Dynamax Band, the Trainer returns their active Pokémon to its Poké Ball, then turns the Poké Ball into a giant Poké Ball. This giant Poké Ball is then thrown, sending out the Dynamax Pokémon.
** In [[Max Raid Battle]]s and [[Dynamax Adventure]]s, when the {{pkmn2|wild}} Dynamax Pokémon is defeated, the Trainer turns an empty Poké Ball into a giant Poké Ball, then throws it at the wild Dynamax Pokémon in an attempt to catch it.

[[File:Itemball.png|thumb|220px|{{ga|Red}} finding an item ball on {{rt|2|Kanto}}]]

Items contained in Poké Balls have been present from the very first games, with many items that are found on the field being found in Poké Balls in conspicuous locations. These items are sometimes important, and usually will be among the required items for pickup along the way. Sometimes, even Poké Ball variants can be found in item balls, though it may be that the item ball itself is supposed to represent the ball that is found. Many other items, however, are hidden, and are not in item balls, instead being directly on the field, and can be found more easily using an Itemfinder or [[Dowsing Machine]].

{{p|Voltorb}}, {{p|Electrode}}, {{p|Foongus}}, {{p|Amoonguss}}, and {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Stunfisk}} appear as item balls in the overworld, but attack when interacted with (or if at close range for Galarian Stunfisk), except the Foongus in [[Accumula Town]]. In {{LGPE}}, fake item balls appear upside down.

===Game icons===
Poké Balls are often featured in the icons for Pokémon games, which are used on the home screens for the [[Nintendo DS]], [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]], and [[Nintendo Switch|Switch]].

==In the side series games==
[[File:Snag Ball.png|thumb|250px|[[Wes]] about to throw a [[Great Ball]] turned into a Snag Ball]]
===Pokémon Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness===
In {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, a [[Snag Ball]] is not a single, separate type of Poké Ball, but rather any type of existing Poké Ball that has been "unlocked" by the Snag Machine, allowing it to [[snagging|snag]] an already-[[caught Pokémon]] during a {{pkmn|battle}}. While it is ''able'' to be used on any Pokémon, [[Rui]] will only allow [[Wes]] to use it on [[Shadow Pokémon]], while [[Michael]]'s Aura Reader will render the Snag Machine inoperable when a Pokémon other than a Shadow Pokémon is targeted.

It is possible to snag a [[Shadow Pokémon]] even if there are two on the opposing side of the field, unlike catching Pokémon in the core series games.
{{-}}

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon GO===
Players do not battle wild Pokémon in [[Pokémon GO]], and using Poké Balls is a matter of the player's aim. To throw one, the player must press their finger on the Poké Ball, move it, and release it. The Ball and Pokémon exist in a 3D environment, so the player may miss the Pokémon by throwing the Ball the wrong distance or too far to the side. Additionally, the wild Pokémon may attempt to dodge or attack every few seconds. When a Pokémon is attacking, any Poké Balls that hit it will be deflected. When a Pokémon dodges, it will move around but can still be hit by a thrown Ball.

:''See more: [[Caught Pokémon#Pokémon GO|Caught Pokémon → Pokémon GO]]

On the aiming screen, a colored circle displays over the Pokémon, gradually shrinks to nothing, then resets to its widest before continuing to shrink again. If the player's throw lands inside this circle, they will get a "Nice!", "Great!", or "Excellent!" catch chance bonus depending on how small the circle was. The player can also improve their catch chance by throwing a curveball. If the player spins the Ball while holding it, it will temporarily retain the spin and curve left or right when thrown.

:''See more: [[Catch rate (GO)]]

Three types of Poké Balls were available in Pokémon GO upon release: regular Poké Balls, Great Balls, and Ultra Balls. These remain the only types of Poké Balls that are generally available. They can be repeatably obtained by:
* Spinning [[PokéStop]]s or {{OBP|Gym|GO}}s (Lv. 12+ for Great Balls and Lv. 20+ for Ultra Balls)
* Opening a [[Gift]] (Lv. 12+ for Great Balls and Lv. 20+ for Ultra Balls)
* Completing certain [[Field Research]] or [[Special Research]] tasks
* Weekly [[Adventure Sync]] rewards

The player also receives Poké Balls upon [[Trainer level|leveling up]].
* Poké Balls awarded up to level 11 (including 50 Poké Balls starting at level 1)
* Great Balls awarded from level 12 to level 19
* Ultra Balls awarded starting level 20

Regular Poké Balls may be purchased in the Shop at the following rates:
* 20 for {{PCoin}}100
* 100 for {{PCoin}}460
* 200 for {{PCoin}}800

All three types of balls have also been available in limited-time Box deals.

Premier Balls debuted in Pokémon GO on June 20, 2017,{{fact}} a few days after its first anniversary with the introduction of {{OBP|Raid Battle|GO}}s. They can only be used for catching Raid Bosses and {{OBP|Shadow Pokémon|GO}}, and other types of Poké Balls cannot be used on them. If the player runs out, the Raid Boss or Shadow Pokémon will flee. The number of Premier Balls are awarded to the player after a Raid Battle or [[Team GO Rocket]] battle is based on how well they battled. Unused Premier Balls are not retained and do not roll over to future challenges. Like in the main series, Premier Balls are just as effective as regular Poké Balls.

Beast Balls debuted in Pokémon GO on July 1, 2022 at Pokémon GO Fest 2022 Berlin.{{fact}} They can only be used for catching [[Ultra Beast]]s, and other types of Poké Balls cannot be used on them. Currently, an unlimited number of Beast Balls are provided to the player during an Ultra Beast encounter.

Master Balls have existed in Pokémon GO's coding since release, but they didn't debut until May 22, 2023, as a reward from the Let's GO! [[Special Research]]. Future opportunities to get Master Balls are planned.<ref>[https://pokemongolive.com/post/masterball/ Never miss with the Master Ball—coming soon to Pokémon GO!]</ref>

===Pokémon Snap===
[[File:Pester Ball.png|thumb|A Pester Ball]]
In {{g|Snap}}, the [[Pester Ball]]s appear similar to Poké Balls at a glance. However, they are not used to catch Pokémon, and instead will release a Pokémon repellent on contact.

===Pokémon UNITE===
[[File:UNITEPokeBall.PNG|thumb|left|250px|A Unite Ball catching a Pokémon]]
In {{g|UNITE}}, Trainers use regular Poké Balls to send out their own Pokémon, after they have been [[fainted|knocked out]] in battle. (At the start of a Unite Battle, all Pokémon are present on the field.) A unique variety of Poké Ball, the '''Unite Ball''', is used as part of Unite Battles. (They are also known as '''Aeos Balls''') Unite Balls are orange, purple, and yellow in colour, with a yellow stripe around in the middle and a white button. The pattern gives the Unite Ball a "U" design. Each Trainer has a Unite Ball, and uses it to [[Caught Pokémon|catch]] the [[wild Pokémon]] their Pokémon [[fainting|knocks out]] in Unite Battles. After doing so, the Unite Ball stores the [[Aeos energy]] the Pokémon held. The stored energy is used by Pokémon to score at [[goal zones]]. At the start of an Unite Battle, the player's Unite Ball only holds a maximum of 30 Aeos energy. After their Pokémon reaches [[Level]] 9, the capacity increases to 40. At level 12, the capacity is boosted again to 50. While the interface only depicts a single Unite Ball, Trainers only have one Unite Ball canonically. Regardless, they throw a Unite Ball for every wild Pokémon defeated even if more than one is defeated at the same time.

In [[Mer Stadium|Mer Stadium's Catch 'Em Battles]], certain wild Pokémon have a white glow around them. When these Pokémon are defeated and captured, the player can send them out from their Unite Ball to temporarily take the place of their selected Pokémon. This function replaces the Trainer's {{DL|Pokémon UNITE|Battle Items}}. Additionally, after enough time has passed, the Battle Item will return to normal and that Pokémon will not be able to be switched into battle. If the captured Pokémon is sent out, a timer is set. When that timer elapses or the Pokémon faints, the Trainer's original Pokémon is sent back into battle from its Poké Ball. Defeating a Wild Pokémon while currently using a [[Caught Pokémon]] does not allow the player to switch to the defeated Wild Pokémon.

In [[Shivre City (Panic Parade)|Panic Parade]], certain wild Pokémon have a white glow around them and a Aeos Ball icon over their heads. When these Pokémon are defeated and captured, the player can send them out from their Unite Ball. This function replaces the Trainer's {{DL|Pokémon UNITE|Battle Items|Battle Item}}, and after using the Battle Item will return to normal. (Although "normal" in Panic Parade means no Battle Item at all.) If another item is picked up or another capturable Pokémon is captured, the first Pokémon is lost. The sent out Pokémon wanders to the nearest opposing Pokémon, uses their [[Unite Move]], then is recalled and leaves the battle.

Unite Balls (mislabeled Poké Balls) are used as part of the Prize Machine menu. By throwing Unite Balls at one of the items on display, the prize gauge for that item is increased. When the prize gauge of an item is full, the item is obtained. A single Unite Ball has a 66% chance to add 1 unit to the prize gauge, a 30% chance to add 2 units to the prize gauge, a 3.3% chance to add 3 units, a 0.6% chance to add 5 units, and a 0.1% chance to add 10 units. Players get 2 Unite Balls every 12 hours, and can spend {{DL|Pokémon UNITE|Aeos gems}} to hasten this timer. (Oddly, the menu's text states that "Poké Balls always hit their target..." in this mode, even though Unite Balls have never been shown to miss in any media.) Some events provide additional Unite Balls in the Prize Machine menu. Sometimes, these additional Unite Balls have alternate names, such as '''Holiday Balls'''.

===Pokémon Pinball series===
{{main|Ball Upgrade (Pinball)}}
In [[Pokémon Pinball]] and [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]], the {{i|Poké Ball}}, [[Great Ball]], [[Ultra Ball]], and [[Master Ball]] are available.

The Poké Ball is the normal ball used in the pinball tables since the beginning of the game. In both games, if the player lights up the three Field Multiplier Lanes found in all tables, the ball is upgraded to the next kind of Poké Ball (a Poké Ball is upgraded into a Great Ball, a Great Ball into an Ultra Ball, and an Ultra Ball into a Master Ball). If a minute passes without new Poké Ball upgrades, the ball returns to the previous state. If the player loses a ball, the next ball is a Poké Ball.

The bonus points are as follows:
* The {{i|Poké Ball}} has no bonus multiplier.
* The [[Great Ball]] multiplies bonus points by ×2.
* The [[Ultra Ball]] multiplies bonus points by ×3.
* The [[Master Ball]] multiplies bonus points by ×4 in [[Pokémon Pinball]] and by ×5 in [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]].

===Learn with Pokémon: Typing Adventure===
In [[Learn with Pokémon: Typing Adventure]], the Typing Balls are thrown after one successfully types a Pokémon's name. It has the overall design like that of a normal Poké Ball, only having an additional vertical line at the bottom, resembling the letter "T".

===Super Smash Bros. series===
[[File:Poké Ball SSBB.png|thumb|220px|Render of a Poké Ball from [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
{{smashWiki|Poké Ball}}
In the {{sbw|Super Smash Bros. series}}, Poké Balls appear as items, which fighters can pick up and throw to release a random Pokémon. These Pokémon will typically attack the opponents of the player who summoned them, but may also have other effects. Starting in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U'', the Master Ball also appears as an item, which has the same effect as Poké Balls but can only summon {{pkmn2|Legendary}} or [[Mythical Pokémon]] (or {{p|Goldeen}}).

The Pokémon that can appear from Poké Balls differ between the games. The {{DL|Super Smash Bros.|Poké Ball Pokémon}} in [[Super Smash Bros.]] all come from [[Generation I]], the {{DL|Super Smash Bros. Melee|Poké Ball Pokémon}} in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] come from up to [[Generation II]], the {{DL|Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Poké Ball Pokémon}} in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] come from up to [[Generation IV]], the {{DL|Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Poké Ball and Master Ball Pokémon|Poké Ball Pokémon}} in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]] come from up to [[Generation VI]], and the {{DL|Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Poké Ball and Master Ball Pokémon|Poké Ball Pokémon}} in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]] come from up to [[Generation VII]]. The only Pokémon that have appeared in all of the Super Smash Bros. games as Poké Ball Pokémon are {{p|Goldeen}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, and {{p|Mew}}.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
====Mechanics====
[[File:Paul Chimchar release.png|thumb|220px|[[Paul]] releasing {{TP|Paul|Chimchar}}]]
[[File:Anime Poke Ball Mechanics.jpg|thumb|220px|[[List of production terminology in Pokémon#Settei|Settei]] of a Poké Ball from the [[Original series]]]]

[[File:Poke Ball Interior.png|thumb|left|220px|Interior of a Poké Ball from the anime]]
In the anime, Poké Balls are not always at full size. Pressing the button on the front will convert it between its full size, about the size of a {{wp|Baseball (object)|baseball}}, to a smaller size, about that of a {{wp|Table tennis#Ball|ping-pong ball}}, and back again. The larger size makes throwing the ball easier, while the smaller one makes for easier storage on a belt clip, in pockets, and in Bags.

When a Pokémon is sent out from a Poké Ball, it will be accompanied by a distinctive sound effect and a bright light as it returns from its energy form and materializes nearby, often on the ground. This bright light has been shown to vary depending on the type of Ball in which the Pokémon is contained in the games, while it has always been shown to be white in the anime. Pokémon are recalled to their Poké Ball by holding up the Poké Ball with its button pointed at the Pokémon. A beam of red, white, or blue light will shoot from the button, converting the Pokémon back into energy and returning it to the Ball. The beam, however, has a limited range and can be dodged by the Pokémon. If the beam hits a person, they will be stunned for a moment, but aside from that, no ill effects will make themselves apparent.

[[Released Pokémon|Releasing]] a Pokémon from a Trainer's ownership, unlike normally sending the Pokémon out, will bathe the Pokémon in a blue glow, and the Poké Ball will no longer mark it, making it able to be caught by another Trainer's Poké Ball.

A Poké Ball can also be broken, which will release it from ownership, as seen when Jessie releases her Dustox in ''[[DP073|Crossing Paths]]''. If a Trainer has done so accidentally, it must somehow be fixed before the Pokémon can be recalled. This was seen in ''[[EP107|Pokémon Food Fight!]]'', where Ash becomes unable to recall Snorlax after its Poké Ball is broken. In the manga, if a Poké Ball is broken before a Pokémon is sent out, then that particular Pokémon cannot be used until their Poké Ball has been repaired. This happened several times in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, such as during {{adv|Red}}'s battle against {{adv|Giovanni}}, where the opening mechanism for the Poké Balls of Red's [[Saur|Venusaur]] and [[Gyara]]dos were damaged, preventing either of them from being used in the match.

[[File:Iris Dragonite inside Poké Ball.png|thumb|left|250px|[[Iris's Dragonite]] inside a Poké Ball in the anime]]
Pokémon appear to be conscious while inside Poké Balls. Several Pokémon have shown the ability to leave and return to their Poké Balls at will, most notably among them [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]], [[Misty's Psyduck]], [[Ash's Oshawott]], [[Brock's Croagunk]], and [[Clemont's Chespin]], who tend to do so in every episode that they appear in. In ''[[EP031|Dig Those Diglett!]]'', many Pokémon belonging to [[Gary Oak]], as well as other Trainers, including Ash Ketchum, demonstrated the ability to prevent themselves from being sent from their Poké Balls, as they refused to fight against the Diglett, though this has not been demonstrated since. Pokémon have also been shown to be able to hear orders given by their Trainer right before they are sent out.

Pokémon can even make their Poké Ball jump and roll around at high speeds, while also being able to navigate, as seen in {{LGPE}}, when the {{ga|partner Pokémon}} moves its Poké Ball onto an empty pedestal in [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] after being caught in [[Pallet Town]].

[[File:Ash Pikachu failed catch.png|thumb|220px|A Poké Ball failing to catch an already owned Pokémon]]
Poké Balls are able to communicate with a Trainer's [[Pokédex]], as the system updates itself with information on newly-caught Pokémon, and keeps track of how many Pokémon the Trainer has with them. If a Trainer catches a new Pokémon with the full six already with them, the Pokédex will automatically send the newly-caught Pokémon in its Poké Ball to the [[Pokémon Storage System]] that the Trainer is using. As shown in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'', a Pokémon caught by a Poké Ball is "marked" by it, and thus most Poké Balls thrown at it will have no effect aside from temporarily stunning it. In the games, as well as in ''[[EP073|Bad to the Bone]]'', however, the Trainer of the Pokémon will block a Poké Ball thrown by another, though it is possible that this is more out of courtesy to their Pokémon than to prevent capture outright. In ''[[EP011|Charmander – The Stray Pokémon]]'', Ash was able to catch his {{AP|Charmander}} in a Poké Ball despite his previous ownership by [[Damian|another Trainer]], though it may have lost its "mark" when it abandoned its previous Trainer by refusing to return to its old Poké Ball. Earlier in the same episode, Ash failed to catch the same Charmander while it still held its loyalty, despite its weak condition.

[[File:Rice Ball Poké Ball.png|thumb|left|220px|Ash catching a [[rice ball]] thrown by a wild {{AP|Mankey|Primeape}}]]
Other wireless capabilities of Poké Balls are shown in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', as when the electricity of the city is down, {{OBP|Rebecca|M07}} claims that the "Poké Ball Management System" was no longer working without power. A similar mechanism is suggested to exist in the games, with the Paradise Protection Protocol issuing a lock signal that disables the use of any Poké Balls that do not have a specific ID.

Poké Balls are able to be decorated to no ill effect, with several Poké Balls that have been painted with special colors being seen in the anime.

Should a Pokémon escape a Poké Ball, the device will return to the Trainer, who can attempt once again to catch the Pokémon.

It has sometimes been shown that [[item]]s can be contained in Poké Balls, apparently able to be captured in much the same way as a Pokémon. The anime has used this as a gag on several occasions, most notably in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', where {{Ash}} accidentally catches a [[rice ball]] when he throws a Poké Ball in an attempt to catch a wild Mankey.
{{-}}

====Types of Poké Ball====
[[File:Poké Ball anime.png|thumb|left|250px|A basic Poké Ball in the anime]]
[[File:Ashball.png|thumb|250px|{{Ash}} pulling out a Poké Ball, preparing to catch a Pokémon]]
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, the basic Poké Ball is the most commonly used of all varieties, with other varieties appearing either very few times or not at all. A vast majority of Pokémon are shown to be stored in regular Poké Balls, to the point that large collections of Poké Balls can be seen with no variation among them. Even [[Ash's Pikachu]], the most prominent Pokémon in the anime which spends all its time [[walking Pokémon|outside with Ash]], has a plain Poké Ball that differs from others only by the small yellow lightning bolt symbol on it, as seen in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''.

Despite this, the various other types of Poké Ball have been seen in the anime, usually to illustrate a special property about that particular ball. The lack of the different types is unsurprising, however, due to the fact that, when the anime was first created, the games themselves did not even keep track of the Poké Ball that a Pokémon was caught in, and thus, it made no difference in sending a Pokémon out. This has recently become less common as of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', possibly to reflect the fact that NPC Trainers in [[Generation VII]] have certain types of Poké Balls associated with them.

The first time that a Poké Ball aside from the normal variation was seen was in [[EP035]], where Ash was given 30 Safari Balls in order to compete in the Safari Game. With these 30 Safari Balls, Ash attempted to catch various rare Pokémon; however, he only managed to capture an entire herd of {{AP|Tauros}}. They appeared in Safari Balls in ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-Ké Corral]]''; however, whenever Ash uses one of his Tauros in a battle, it is sent out from a standard Poké Ball.

[[File:Poké Ball success.png|thumb|left|250px|A Poké Ball after catching a Pokémon in ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]'']]
The [[GS Ball]] was the second of the variant Poké Balls to [[EP083|appear in the anime]], this time with a special purpose. This mysterious ball was unable to be opened by [[Professor Ivy]], and served as the reason for Ash's journeys to the [[Orange Archipelago]] (to pick it up) and [[Johto]] (to deliver it to [[Kurt]]), so that what was contained within it could be discovered. {{p|Celebi}} was long rumored to be related to the ball, something which the [[Pokémon Adventures]] and game canons verify, while [[Masamitsu Hidaka|a director of the anime]] confirmed that, had it not been insisted that {{OBP|Celebi|M04}} appear in a central role in [[M04|the fourth movie]], the GS Ball arc would have concluded with Celebi being released from the ball and traveling with Ash and his friends.

Also related to Kurt, as in the games, the first non-standard Poké Ball variants, the [[Apricorn]] balls, made an appearance in the anime, and several were given to the members of the main cast. All three members of the main cast received a Fast Ball each in ''[[EP143|Going Apricorn!]]'', with {{an|Brock}} using his to catch a {{TP|Brock|Pineco}} shortly after receiving it. Many other Apricorn Poké Balls also appeared in a fantasy in this episode. In the [[EP144|next episode]], Brock received a Heavy Ball, while Ash and {{an|Misty}} received a Lure Ball each. While Brock's Heavy Ball and Ash and Misty's Fast Balls would remain unused (and have not been mentioned since), both Ash and Misty would use their Lure Balls to capture a {{AP|Totodile}} and {{TP|Misty|Corsola}}, respectively. Another Heavy Ball appeared in ''[[AG065|Gulpin It Down]]'', where it was used to capture a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{p|Gulpin}}, though this was not the one belonging to Brock. In ''[[EP183|Trouble's Brewing]]'', the {{DL|Kimono Girl|In the anime|Kimono Sisters}} (excluding [[Sakura]]) were shown keeping their [[Eeveelution]]s inside Apricorn Poké Balls, with Satsuki's {{p|Jolteon}}'s ball being a Moon Ball, Sumomo's {{p|Vaporeon}}'s ball being a Lure Ball, and Tamao's {{p|Umbreon}}'s ball being a Fast Ball. While Koume's {{p|Flareon}}'s ball wasn't shown, her kimono pattern indicates it being a Love Ball.
[[File:Ash Poké Ball.png|thumb|250px|Ash calling out a Pokémon]]
The Master Ball itself has only appeared once as an actual Poké Ball, in ''[[AG075|Whiscash and Ash]]'', where it was used by [[Sullivan]] in a last resort attempt to catch a wild {{p|Whiscash}} called "[[Nero]]". Despite the fact that a Master Ball cannot be escaped from, the Whiscash ''swallowed'' the Master Ball, thus preventing capture, and disappeared back into the water. While not a Poké Ball itself, Misty owns a beach ball that is designed like the Master Ball, which can be seen in ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]'' and ''[[EP167|A Hot Water Battle]]''.

The Generation III specialty balls have mostly been seen in cameos. The Repeat Ball and Luxury Ball appeared in the opening of ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. These balls contained {{ga|Brendan}}'s {{p|Shiftry}} and {{p|Aggron}}, respectively.

The debut of most of the specialty balls, both from Generation III and IV, came in the ending [[Which One ~ Is It?]], which contained the first appearance of the Great Ball and Ultra Ball, as well as the first anime appearance of the Premier, Heal, Net, Dusk, Nest, Quick, Timer, and Dive Balls.

The first proper appearance of the Great, Ultra, Net, Nest, Dusk, Dive, Repeat, Premier, and Heal Balls was in ''[[XY079|A Frenzied Factory Fiasco!]]'', where these balls were seen being manufactured at the [[Poké Ball Factory]], in addition to normal Poké Balls, Luxury Balls, and Safari Balls, although the last ones were not shown. Although [[James]] did mention a Quick Ball in the Japanese version, one was never shown in the episode (a fact that was picked up by the [[dub]], which removed the Quick Ball reference). {{TRT}} tried to steal many of these Poké Balls, but were foiled by Ash and his friends.

[[File:Dawn Poké Ball.png|thumb|left|250px|{{an|Dawn}}'s Poké Balls with Ball Capsules and Seals]]
It was revealed in ''[[SM004|First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-Style!]]'' that James had been collecting Poké Balls. When Jessie's attempts to catch a {{TP|Jessie|Mimikyu}} with typical Poké Balls had failed, she grabbed the Luxury Ball James had been polishing and used it instead, capturing Mimikyu, much to James's dismay. The rest of James's collection appeared in ''[[SM062|Acting True to Form!]]'', where it was revealed to also contain a Great, Ultra, Premier, Dusk, Heal, and Quick Ball, marking the first proper anime appearance of a Quick Ball. The collection reappeared in ''[[JN026|Splash, Dash, and Smash for the Crown!]]'', where it now consisted of a Premier, Dive, Nest, Quick, Heal, and Dusk Ball.

{{an|Gladion}} keeps all of his known Pokémon in special Poké Balls. His {{TP|Gladion|Lycanroc}} is kept in an Ultra Ball (as first seen in ''[[SM027|A Glaring Rivalry!]]''), his {{TP|Gladion|Silvally}} is kept in a Premier Ball (as first seen in ''[[SM037|Rising from the Ruins!]]''), his {{TP|Gladion|Umbreon}} is kept in a Heal Ball (as first seen in ''[[SM053|Rescuing the Unwilling!]]''), his {{TP|Gladion|Zoroark}} is kept in a Dusk Ball (as first seen in the [[Poké Problem]] extra scene of [[SM127]]), and his {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Lillie|Nihilego}} is kept in a Beast Ball (as first seen in ''[[JN111|The Homecoming Crown!]]'').

[[File:James Poké Ball collection.png|thumb|250px|James's Poké Ball collection]]
Beast Balls debuted in ''[[SM061|A Mission of Ultra Urgency!]]'', in which the [[Aether Foundation]] provided multiple of them for Ash and {{ashcl}} to use during their missions as [[Ultra Guardians]]. Since then, Beast Balls have appeared in {{cat|Ultra Guardians episodes|a number of episodes}}. Most of the time they are only used to temporarily hold {{an|Ultra Beasts}} until they are released back into [[Ultra Space]]. The only Ultra Beasts that have been kept in a Beast Ball for longer than one episode are [[Ash's Naganadel]] and Gladion's {{p|Nihilego}}.

In ''[[JN045|Sword and Shield... The Legends Awaken!]]'', {{an|Leon}} used an Ultra Ball in an attempt to catch {{TP|Goh|Eternatus}}, only for Eternatus to break out.
[[File:Sealed Poké Ball anime.png|thumb|250px|left|A sealed Poké Ball]]
Many other Poké Balls have been shown in the anime; however, most of these are cosmetic alterations alone, such as Poké Balls with gold plating, diamond studded Poké Balls, and Poké Balls with stickers or special designs on them, usually to denote an organization. [[Ball Capsule]]s and [[Seal]]s can also be used to customize a Poké Ball's appearance, and they add special effects when the Pokémon is sent out. In the anime, they are mostly used by {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s during [[Pokémon Contest]]s to create a showy entrance and ensure that the Pokémon will make a good impression right out of the Poké Ball.

Notably, a broken Poké Ball, snapped in half at its rusted hinges, was kept by both Ash and {{Gary}}, symbolizing their rivalry. After Ash defeated Gary during the [[Silver Conference]], Gary gave his half of the Ball to Ash as a sign of ending their rivalry.

In ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', it was shown that if a Trainer catches a Pokémon while they already have six on hand, it is automatically sent to the regional {{pkmn|Professor}}. ''[[BW018|Sewaddle and Burgh in Pinwheel Forest]]'' shows a major difference in what happens after a Pokémon is captured. Instead of being automatically sent to the regional Professor, the Poké Ball is sealed and the button becomes red. The Pokémon is kept inactive until it is switched out by another actively in the Trainer's party.

=====Other variants=====
[[File:HZ029 Poké Ball 3.png|thumb|250px|Some of [[Khana]]'s custom Poké Balls]]
* A green Poké Ball appeared in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''. Interestingly, the cover of the book {{OBP|Grass Pokédex|book}} greatly resembles this Poké Ball, and is labeled as a Safari Ball.
** In addition to this, the artwork of {{ga|Brendan}}, in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, features Brendan holding a green Poké Ball.
* Several objects were used to contain and control Pokémon before Poké Balls themselves were developed. Large monumental objects have been shown several times in episodes to be containers for large ancient Pokémon, as seen most notably in ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]''. Smaller objects have also been used, such as the staff belonging to [[Sir Aaron]], which contained his partner, {{OBP|Lucario|M08}}, until {{Ash}} released it in the current era. Special armor developed by [[Marcus]] was used to control Pokémon in ancient [[Michina Town]], though it did not directly ''contain'' the Pokémon; unlike other methods of using Pokémon, these Pokémon were enslaved, instead of befriended, and they turned against him the moment the armor was broken.
* {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} had a collection of strange Poké Balls known as (Japanese: '''ミュウツーボール''' ''Mewtwo Balls'') in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', which incorporated an eye into their design, and were used primarily to capture Pokémon to be cloned. These balls had no trouble catching Pokémon which were already captured—even if they were already inside of Poké Balls.
* In ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'', [[Molly Hale]], whose imagination caused the power of the {{OBP|Unown|M03}} to change the world around them, was able to use strange, crystalline Poké Balls when she challenged {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}}. The Pokémon sent from these appeared normally, but dissolved into crystal, rather than being recalled. These crystal Poké Balls only appeared when used by her imagined older selves, and do not appear to actually exist.
* A special variant of Poké Ball, the Lake Ball, was used during the [[Seaking Catching Competition]] in ''[[EP168|Hook, Line, and Stinker]]''; this is viewed by many to be similar to the Sport Ball used in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]]. They appear as blue and white Poké Balls, with a fish pattern around the edge, and a yellow arrow on the top and bottom of the ball. They don't shake after capture, implying an automatic catch.
* In ''[[EP248|One Trick Phony!]]'', specially marked Poké Balls appeared at the {{jo|Battle Park}}, containing the Park's [[rental Pokémon]]. They looked almost exactly like standard Poké Balls, except that they had the Park's stylized "BP" logo on the top.
* Older Poké Balls have also appeared in the anime, specifically the one carried by [[Sam]] in ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]'', which was colored differently, and it had a knob that needed to be twisted before the Pokémon inside could be sent out. While it is unknown how these types were manufactured, it is likely that they were made by hand using Apricorns, prior to the standardization and mass production of modern-day Poké Balls.
* The [[Iron-Masked Marauder]], an agent of [[Team Rocket]], used special [[Dark Ball]]s that corrupted Pokémon caught inside them and made them into mindless servants of the Trainer, as well as raising their power significantly. Multiple Pokémon were caught in these Poké Balls, including the {{pkmn2|Mythical}} {{OBP|Celebi|M04}} and a powerful {{p|Tyranitar}}. They seem capable of catching any Pokémon without fail.
* As in the games, the [[GS Ball]] appeared in the anime, and was the primary motivation for Ash's trip to the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]], where he would compete in his second Pokémon League. It also served as the catalyst for his journey to [[Johto]], as he needed to deliver the ball to [[Kurt]]. Former director [[Masamitsu Hidaka]] revealed that a shelved storyline, that would have concluded the GS Ball's arc, involved a {{p|Celebi}} that would have traveled with Ash and his friends through at least part of Johto. The storyline was viewed as redundant after the decision was made to introduce Celebi in the fourth movie instead.
* ''[[AG104|Claydol, Big and Tall]]'' featured the "Stone Ball", a huge Poké Ball made of stone used to keep an evil, giant {{p|Claydol}} that levied destruction everywhere. This Poké Ball is about the size of a two-story house.
* In ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within!]]'', an ancient relic resembling a Poké Ball was first mentioned by {{an|Brandon}}, who told Ash and his friends a story about the [[King of Pokélantis]], who had once tried to control {{p|Ho-Oh}} for his own evil purposes. When Ash later found the relic, it was revealed that the King of Pokélantis's spirit was actually sealed within it, and it possessed Ash until it was banished from his body and resealed back inside the relic.
* In ''[[BW037|A Fishing Connoisseur in a Fishy Competition!]]'', a specially marked Poké Ball, called the "Fishing Poké Ball", was used in the fake fishing contest set up by {{TRT}}. This Poké Ball highly resembled the regular red and white Poké Ball, except that it had a dark fish mark on its red part.
* In ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', the participants of the [[Pokémon Catch Race]] used special "Catch Race Poké Balls" to catch specifically marked Pokémon around [[Fula City]]. These Poké Balls feature a blue-and-white color scheme, with a gold button.
* In ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', starting from ''[[JN003|Ivysaur's Mysterious Tower!]]'', the Team Rocket trio was provided with the [[Rocket Prize Master]], a vending machine that lets them borrow random Pokémon from it, contained in special Team Rocket Poké Balls. When a Pokémon is sent out from them, these Balls drop a small leaflet explaining details about the Pokémon in question.
* Dynamaxed Poké Balls were first used in ''[[JN012|Flash of the Titans!]]'' during {{an|Lance}} and {{an|Leon}}'s [[World Coronation Series]] {{pkmn|battle}}. In ''[[JN045|Sword and Shield... The Legends Awaken!]]'', [[Goh]], with Ash's help, used a Dynamaxed Poké Ball to catch a weakened {{TP|Goh|Eternatus}}, which was later sealed away.
* In [[HZ029]], several custom-made Poké Balls created by [[Khana]] were shown. These include the Rocket Ball, which has miniature rocket engines that boost its speed; the Boomerang Ball, which curves back around once thrown; the Bomb-Bomb Ball, which has a fuse that lights up when the ball is about to be thrown and causes the ball to explode when it burns out; the Chase Ball, which homes in on the target Pokémon on a set of wheels; and an unnamed Ball that Khana gave to [[Orla]] as a gift at the end of the episode.

====History====
{{main|History of Poké Balls}}
As mentioned, the generic Poké Ball design is not constant and has been remodeled and altered innumerable times in order to create new Poké Balls that are adapted for specific conditions. For example, it is seen in several anime episodes such as ''[[AG065|Gulpin it Down!]]'' and ''[[AG104|Claydol Big and Tall]]'' that normal Poké Balls have difficulty catching Pokémon which are extremely large or extremely heavy. In the latter episode, it is revealed that ancient civilizations overcame this issue by constructing immense Poké Balls many times the size of the standard model known today, and made from stone instead. Other civilizations such as [[Pokémopolis]] also discovered new technologies that more closely resembled modern Poké Ball technology, such as the [[Pokémopolis#Pokémopolis artifacts|Dark Device]] and the [[Pokémopolis#Pokémopolis artifacts|Unearthly Urn]], which were also adapted for the capture and storage of massive Pokémon but in small containers. However, devices like these became lost to the ages and their roles were subsequently supplanted by Heavy Balls in the modern world.

In ''[[EP095|A Shipful of Shivers]]'', modern Poké Balls are found in the [[ghost ship]], implying that modern Poké Balls were first made at least 300 years ago. According to ''[[Pocket Monsters: The Animation]]'', Poké Balls were developed to allow for various Trainers to efficiently capture and train Pokémon in relatively little risk to themselves, as the act of training a Pokémon often results in severe injuries and even death. It also claims that the Pokémon {{p|Primeape}} and its notoriously violent nature was directly responsible for their creation.

Prior to the invention of Poké Balls, Pokémon were referred to as magical creatures (Japanese: {{tt|魔獣|まじゅう}} ''majū''), indicating that the name Pokémon, short for Pocket Monster, did not come into common parlance as a term until Poké Balls allowed the various magical creatures to be stored easily.

====Ancient Poké Ball====
[[File:Roy Ancient Poké Ball anime.png|thumb|250px|Ancient Poké Ball]]
The search for these Poké Balls is an important plot within ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''. These Poké Balls, in addition to capturing Pokémon, seem to have unique powers and react to certain stimuli, like Liko's pendant and other Ancient Poké Balls.

=====History=====
[[Roy]] is in possession of an antique Poké Ball that he refers to as the Ancient Poké Ball. It was found by [[Roy's grandfather|his grandfather]] and later given to him. It first appeared in ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', where Roy mentioned how he had never managed to open it. In ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', the ball reacted with [[Liko]]'s pendant and opened to reveal a {{Shiny}} {{p|Rayquaza}} that flew away soon after. The ball is said to have belonged to an [[Lucius|ancient adventurer]] who once commanded Rayquaza. In [[HZ011]], another identical ancient Poké Ball appeared under the possession of a giant {{p|Arboliva}}. In the [[HZ012|next episode]], this Poké Ball was revealed to be Arboliva's, and to have been owned by the ancient adventurer as well.

</gallery>

===Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Poké Ball PO.png|thumb|250px|A Poké Ball in Pokémon Origins]]
Besides the regular Poké Ball, the other Generation I variations of it were also seen during the [[Pokémon Origins]] miniseries. In ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]'', it was shown that [[Giovanni]] kept his strongest Pokémon, {{p|Rhyhorn}} and {{p|Rhydon}}, within Ultra Balls. In ''[[PO04|File 4: Charizard]]'', {{OBP|Red|Origins}} was seen catching an {{p|Arbok}} with a Great Ball and a {{p|Chansey}} with a Safari Ball. He also used Ultra Balls to capture the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, and {{p|Mewtwo}}.

The Master Ball only appeared in a demonstration in ''File 3: Giovanni'', as it was still under development at the time. After [[Team Rocket]] was driven out of the [[Silph Co.]] building by Red, the development of the Master Ball was put on hold for a while.

Additionally, in Pokémon Origins, the sound effects and bright light used when a Trainer is catching, sending out, or recalling a Pokémon differ in comparison to the sound effects and lights that are used in the main Pokémon anime, more resembling the effects seen in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.

===Pokémon Generations===
[[File:Ultra Ball PG.png|thumb|left|250px|An Ultra Ball in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
The only Poké Ball variant seen in [[Pokémon Generations]] was an Ultra Ball, which appeared in ''[[PG09|The Scoop]]''. It was shown being used by {{player|a Trainer}} to catch a {{p|Deoxys}} in outer space.
{{-}}

==In the manga==
In the various [[Pokémon manga]], Poké Balls have been shown to appear differently, as an attempt to explain how a Trainer knows which Pokémon is in which ball, as most Pokémon manga series were, like the anime, developed at a time when the games could not keep track of the ball a Pokémon was contained in.

===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
[[File:Poké Ball EToP.png|thumb|left|200px|A Poké Ball in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]
[[File:Enormo Poké Ball EToP.png|thumb|200px|The Enormo Poké Ball-X1]]
In [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], the rules are more similar to the anime; however, Poké Balls are numbered on the outside, on the button, so that a Trainer knows which member of their team they are sending into battle. In The Electric Tale of Pikachu, Trainers must obtain a license before they are legally allowed to purchase Poké Balls.

It is also possible for a Pokémon to be placed inside a Poké Ball without it being owned by a Trainer. In ''[[ET11|Days of Gloom and Glory]]'', [[Meowzie]] steals a Poké Ball from a shop and puts her kitten in it so that it will not be hurt by a flood affecting the city.

In ''[[ET04|Haunting My Dreams]]'', a giant Poké Ball named the Enormo Poké Ball-X1 (Japanese: '''ビッグモンスターボールX1''' ''Big Monster Ball-X1'') or EPB-X1 for short, was created to capture the gigantic {{p|Haunter}}, [[Black Fog]]. It was destroyed when the Black Fog used {{m|Explosion}} to free itself after being captured.
{{-}}

===Magical Pokémon Journey===
In [[Magical Pokémon Journey]], the main characters generally do not capture Pokémon, rather, they befriend them. Although [[Almond]], one of the main characters, is known to be a [[Pokémon Trainer]], he is not actually depicted capturing or raising any Pokémon. In fact, in the bonus materials of {{Vol|Magical Pokémon Journey|2}}, in which the cast of the manga meet {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} in a series of crossovers, it is revealed that [[Hazel]] and [[Coconut]] do not even know what Poké Balls are. When Ash and Misty explain that they are used to capture Pokémon, they both proceed to attempt to use them to capture Almond, as he is each of their love interest.

===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Yellow Seadra Poké Ball.png|thumb|200px|{{adv|Yellow}}'s {{p|Seadra}} inside his Poké Ball in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, the tops of Poké Balls are semitransparent, allowing the Pokémon inside, which is miniaturized, to be seen through the ball, while the Pokémon can likewise see out of the ball it is contained in. In this manga, unlike in the anime, Pokémon already captured can be recaught in another Poké Ball, as is seen when {{adv|Red}} recatches [[Gyara|Misty's Gyarados]] in ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'' (though {{adv|Blue}} states that catching a Pokémon that belongs to another is not possible in ''[[PS050|Lapras Lazily]]'').

Like in the anime and the games, specialty balls do exist, although they are much more commonly used than in the anime. In ''[[PS026|Holy Moltres]]'', [[Team Rocket]] was shown to have caught the {{adv|legendary birds}} in Ultra Balls. In ''[[PS035|And Mewtwo... Three!]]'', [[Blaine]] gave Red the [[Master Ball]], which Red used to catch {{adv|Mewtwo}} shortly afterwards. In ''[[PS101|Teddiursa's Picnic]]'', {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Silver}} received a Friend Ball and Heavy Ball, respectively, with Silver using his ball to catch an {{TP|Silver|Ursaring}}, while Gold used his to catch a {{p|Teddiursa}} for [[Maizie]]. Close to the end of the {{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}, the [[Masked Man]] was shown creating a [[GS Ball]] and using it to catch {{adv|Celebi}}. In ''[[PS528|Innocent Scientist]]'', {{adv|Blake}} used Luxury Balls while trying to catch the {{p|Genesect}} controlled by [[Colress]], eventually succeeding. In ''[[PS583|Scizor Defends]]'', a Quick Ball was seen amongst the Poké Balls that {{adv|Y}} had used while trying to catch an {{p|Absol}}. Safari Balls have been seen being used by Red at the {{safari|Kanto|Kanto Safari Zone}}, by {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}} at the [[Great Marsh]], and by Silver at the {{safari|Johto|Johto Safari Zone}}. {{adv|Crystal}} and {{adv|Emerald}} have also been shown using special balls to catch Pokémon, with Crystal specializing in [[Apricorn]] balls and Emerald specializing in Poké Balls introduced in [[Generation III]]. Additionally, the three original types of Poké Ball are used to identify the Trainer's rank; most Trainers keep their Pokémon in Poké Balls, [[Gym Leader]]s use Great Balls, and [[Elite Four]] members use Ultra Balls.

In the {{MangaArc|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}, Beast Balls were created for the [[Aether Foundation]] by Colress as a means of catching [[Ultra Beast]]s.

Like in the games, but unlike the anime, Pokémon placed in their balls don't recover from [[status condition]]s nor regain lost health, no matter how much time passes.

====Variants====
* [[Bruno]] has modified his Poké Balls so that they are fitted onto the ends of his {{wp|Nunchaku|nunchucks}}. By swinging them quickly and throwing the nunchuck forward, Bruno can have his Pokémon quickly attack his opponent, giving him the advantage.
* [[Koga]] and his daughter [[Janine]] modified their Poké Balls into {{wp|shuriken}} to fit their ninja theme. In addition to being used as weapons, they can also be used to have their Pokémon pop up from different locations to surprise the opponent or to hold items to help an ally.
* [[Bugsy]] had [[Kurt]] modify his butterfly net into something he calls a Capture Net. His net has a Poké Ball nested into the middle of it. The bag of the net is made of the same material of the inside of a Poké Ball. Once a Pokémon is covered in the bag, they will automatically be sucked into the Poké Ball.
* [[Falkner]] has modified his Poké Balls into boomerangs using the feathers of his {{p|Skarmory}}. Because of Skarmory's feathers being transparent, they have the tendency to turn invisible, confusing enemies when Falkner throws them in random directions only for them to turn around and go straight for them.
* [[Erika]] and {{adv|Moon}} modified their Poké Balls to be at the end of their arrows.
* In ''[[PS283|It Takes Patience, Knowledge and a Really Quick Beedrill]]'', {{adv|Giovanni}} used a specifically designed Poké Ball with the letters "DNA" on its top half to capture {{adv|Deoxys}}.
* Multiple Dynamaxed Poké Balls appeared in the {{MangaArc|Sword & Shield}}, being used to both capture Dynamax Pokémon and send them out.

===Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys===
Besides regular Poké Balls, Apricorn Poké Balls also received notable attention in the [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys]] manga. They were first featured in ''[[GB07|The Great Search! Let's Rescue The Slowpoke!]]'', where {{GnB|Gold}} and [[Kurt]] used some of Kurt's hand-made Poké Balls to save a group of {{p|Slowpoke}} from drowning in the flooding [[Slowpoke Well]]. Kurt's Level Ball also proved crucial in stopping the [[Black Tyranitar]]'s rampage during the manga's climax.

===Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All===
[[File:Poké Ball PM.png|thumb|200px|A Poké Ball in [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]]]
In [[Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All]], Poké Balls are depicted as solid, with no visual identification as to which Poké Ball is which. In ''[[GDZ15|Special Chapter - Get Pikachu!]]'', it is revealed that when [[Shu]] met {{TP|Shu|Pikachu}}, Pikachu's Poké Ball had been abandoned in a forest because it was defective and it was causing Pikachu's electricity to be released throughout the surrounding area.

===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
In [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]], Poké Balls are often shown as transparent to identify when a Pokémon is inside. They usually have their typical appearance from far away, suggesting that they may not always be transparent, or are only see-through from up close. Pokémon appear to be able to see the world outside of their Poké Balls, as shown in ''[[PM003|Bring Down the Powerful Opponent Onix!!]]'', when {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} sees {{OBP|Red's Pikachu|Pocket Monsters|Pikachu}} inside his Poké Ball, and they talk to each other. In ''[[PM001|Introducing the Pokémon Clefairy!!]]'', when {{PPM|Green}} is choosing Charmander as his [[starter Pokémon]], he is shown to be able to pick up and lift Charmander directly from the Poké Ball without throwing it first.

==In the TCG==
[[File:Rocket Sneak Attack artwork.png|thumb|Ultra Ball]]
Several variants of Poké Ball have been released in card form in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], ranging from the standard variants found in the games and other media to variants specific to the TCG. Generally, Poké Balls are depicted as {{TCG|Item}} cards that search the player's [[deck]] for {{TCG|Pokémon}} and put them into the player's [[hand]]. Many Poké Ball cards require some number of successful {{TCG|coin}} flips in order to allow for the search to succeed, but some cards use the order of the player's [[deck]] to create inconsistency instead. There are even Poké Ball cards that are guaranteed to work, but these cards are balanced by only finding specific subsets of Pokémon, requiring some cost to be paid, or having another drawback.

Some cards, such as {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Apricorn Maker|121}} and {{TCG ID|Shining Fates|Ball Guy|57}}, refer to Poké Ball cards as a group, using the phrase "Item cards that have the word “Ball” in their name". This phraseology excludes cards with "Balloon" in their name even though they otherwise meet the criteria. (An example of an excluded card was {{TCG ID|BREAKpoint|Bursting Balloon|97}}, before the [[errata]] that changed {{TCG|Pokémon Tool}} to be a subtype of [[Trainer card|Trainer]] rather than a subset of Items.)

===List of Poké Ball cards based on the games===
* The standard {{TCG ID|Jungle|Poké Ball|64}} card, which was the first released, debuted in the {{TCG|Jungle}} expansion and has since been featured in many others. If a coin flip is successful, it searches the deck for a {{TCG|Pokémon}} and puts it in the player's hand.
* The Ultra Ball can be seen in the artwork of {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Rocket's Sneak Attack|16}}, from the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} expansion. The 'H' on this Ultra Ball is derived from its Japanese name, ''Hyper Ball''. The {{TCG ID|Dark Explorers|Ultra Ball|102}} itself would appear in {{TCG|Dark Explorers}}, with its effect requiring the player to discard 2 cards from the hand to search the deck for a Pokémon.
* The {{TCG ID|EX FireRed & LeafGreen|Great Ball|92}}, which first appeared in the {{TCG|EX FireRed & LeafGreen|TCG expansion}} coinciding with the {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|remakes}} of the [[Generation I]] games, is somewhat of an upgrade to the Poké Ball, and does not require the coin flip that the Poké Ball does, instead restricting the search to Basic Pokémon. Later, in {{TCG|Emerging Powers}}, {{TCG ID|Emerging Powers|Great Ball|93}}'s effect was changed to have the player search the top 7 cards of the deck for any one Pokémon card and put it in the hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Gym Challenge|Master Ball|116}}, first appearing in the {{TCG|Gym Challenge}} expansion, and in the games the most powerful of the Poké Balls, provides a vastly different effect than the standard. Rather than searching the entire deck, only the top seven cards may be searched. One {{TCG|Pokémon}} found in these seven can be put into the hand, while the rest must be shuffled back into the deck. In {{TCG|Plasma Blast}}, the {{TCG ID|Plasma Blast|Master Ball|94}} was changed to an {{TCG|ACE SPEC card}} that allowed the player to search the entire deck for any one Pokémon.
* Debuting in the {{TCG|Skyridge}} expansion, the {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Lure Ball|128}} is different from the basic Poké Balls in that it draws from the {{TCG|discard pile}} rather than the deck. For each heads flipped, with a maximum of three, an {{TCG|Evolution card}} can be returned from the discard pile and put into the hand. It has since been reprinted in {{TCG|Celestial Storm}}.
* Also debuting in Skyridge, the {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Friend Ball|126}}, another [[Apricorn]] Ball, has a unique effect entirely, allowing the user to search their deck for a Pokémon of the same {{TCG|type}} as one of the opponent's Pokémon, making it effective in decks that typically match up well against their own type. It was also reprinted in Celestial Storm.
* The {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Fast Ball|124}} allows the player to go through their deck, turning over cards one at a time until they find the first evolution card, and then taking that into their hand, shuffling afterward. Like the other two Apricorn Balls, it debuted in Skyridge, but unlike the others, it has not appeared since.
* The {{TCG ID|Great Encounters|Premier Ball|101}}, debuting in the {{TCG|Great Encounters}} expansion, is special, much as in the games, and allows the player to search either the deck ''or'' the discard pile for a {{TCG|Pokémon LV.X}} to put into their hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Luxury Ball|86}}, first found in the {{TCG|Stormfront}} expansion, is among the rarest of the Poké Ball varieties in the games, though its catch rate is the same as that of a normal Poké Ball. Likewise it is so with the TCG, allowing a non-{{TCG|Pokémon LV.X|LV.X}} Pokémon to be searched from the deck, but only if another Luxury Ball card is not in the discard pile.
* The {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Quick Ball|114}} released in the {{TCG|Mysterious Treasures}} expansion has a similar effect to the Fast Ball released in Skyridge, allowing the player to uncover cards from their deck until they find a Pokémon. An expansion of the Fast Ball's use, any Pokémon can be found, though this may prove an issue if the player is looking for an Evolution card specifically and finds a Basic Pokémon first, and vice versa. The Quick Ball was rereleased in the {{TCG|Sword & Shield}} expansion with a different effect, requiring players to discard 1 card in order to search their deck for a Basic Pokémon.
* The {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Dusk Ball|110}}, also first found in Mysterious Treasures, features an effect somewhat opposite from the Master Ball's: Instead of the top seven cards being searched, only the bottom seven cards may be, and a Pokémon found there may be put into the player's hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Next Destinies|Heavy Ball|88}}, first found in {{TCG|Next Destinies}}, allows the player to search through their deck for a Pokémon who has a retreat cost of 3 or more and put it in their hand, whereas the {{TCG ID|Next Destinies|Level Ball|89}}, also found in {{TCG|Next Destinies}}, allows them to do the same with a Pokémon that has 90 HP or less.
* The {{TCG ID|Primal Clash|Repeat Ball|136}}, found only in {{TCG|Primal Clash}}, allows the player to search their deck for a Pokémon with the same name as one of their Pokémon in play.
* The {{TCG ID|Sun & Moon|Nest Ball|123}}, first found in {{TCG|Sun & Moon}}, allows the player to search their deck for a Basic Pokémon and put it on their bench,
* The {{TCG ID|Sun & Moon|Timer Ball|134}}, first found in {{TCG|Sun & Moon}}, allows the player to search their deck for a number of Evolution Pokémon equal to the number of heads from flipping two coins.
* The {{TCG ID|Lost Thunder|Net Ball|187}}, first found in {{TCG|Lost Thunder}}, allows the player to search their deck for a Basic {{e|Grass}} Pokémon or a {{e|Grass}} Energy card and put it into their hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Celestial Storm|Beast Ball|125}}, first found in {{TCG|Celestial Storm}}, allows the player to look at their Prize Cards, and swap an [[Ultra Beast]] found there with the Beast Ball card.
* The {{TCG ID|Unified Minds|Cherish Ball|191}}, first found in {{TCG|Unified Minds}}, allows the player to search their deck for any {{TCG|Pokémon-GX}} and put it into their hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Evolving Skies|Dream Ball|146}}, first found in {{TCG|Evolving Skies}}, allows the player to search their deck for a Pokémon and put it on their bench, but the card can only be played if the player took it as a face down Prize card.
* The {{TCG ID|Astral Radiance|Feather Ball|141}}, first found in {{TCG|Astral Radiance}}, allows the player to search their deck for a Pokémon with no Retreat Cost and put it into their hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Astral Radiance|Hisuian Heavy Ball|146}}, first found in Astral Radiance, allows the player to look at their Prize cards, and swap a Basic Pokémon found there with the Hisuian Heavy Ball card.

===List of Poké Balls original to the TCG===
* The {{TCG ID|Expedition|Dual Ball|139}} is merely two Poké Balls together, and has a similar effect to using two plain Poké Ball cards, requiring two coin flips to search for up to two Basic Pokémon, depending on how many heads appear.
* The {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Team Magma Ball|80}} is [[Team Magma]]'s Poké Ball variant, found only in the {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}} expansion. It allows the user to search for a Team Magma's Pokémon, but if a coin flip results in tails, the search is limited to {{TCG|Basic Pokémon|Basic}} Team Magma Pokémon.
* The {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Team Aqua Ball|75}} is [[Team Aqua]]'s Poké Ball variant, also found only in the {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}} expansion. It works ''exactly'' the same as the Team Magma Ball, searching for Team Aqua's Pokémon instead.
* The {{TCG ID|EX Team Rocket Returns|Rocket's Poké Ball|89}} is the [[Team Rocket]] variation on the Poké Ball, found in the {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}} expansion. No coin flip is required, and it simply allows the player to search for a {{TCG|Dark Pokémon}}.
* The {{TCG ID|Plasma Freeze|Team Plasma Ball|105}} is the [[Team Plasma]] variant of the Poké Ball, found in the {{TCG|Plasma Freeze}} expansion. It allows the user to search for a Team Plasma Pokémon without a coin flip required.
* The {{TCG ID|Double Crisis|Team Magma's Great Ball|31}} is another Team Magma Poké Ball variant, found in the {{TCG|Double Crisis}} expansion. It searches the deck for a Basic Team Magma Pokémon and a basic {{e|Fighting}} energy.
* The {{TCG ID|Double Crisis|Team Aqua's Great Ball|27}} is another Team Aqua Poké Ball variant, also found in the {{TCG|Double Crisis}} expansion. It searches the deck for a Basic Team Aqua Pokémon and a basic {{e|Water}} energy instead.

==In the novels==
===Pocket Monsters: The Animation===
In [[Pocket Monsters: The Animation]], it is said that Poké Balls were invented in 1925 by [[Professor Westwood V|Professor Nishinomori]].

==In the guidebooks==
According to the [[Encyclopedia Pokemonica]], [[Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia]], and a [[Pokémon Daisuki Club]] site describing the [[Pokémon world]], modern Poké Balls were developed in 1925 from the research of [[Professor Westwood V|Professor Westwood]] of [[Celadon University]].

==Trivia==
* {{an|Professor Oak}} has written {{wp|senryū}} about the Poké Ball in two of his lectures:
** For [[DP003]], the [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia]] featured this senryū: 「ゲットだぜ　なげかたいろいろ　モンスターボール」 ''"I caught a Pokémon! {{tt|Monster Balls|Poké Balls}} can be thrown in all sorts of ways."''
** For [[BW002]], the [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Live Caster]] featured this senryū: 「あっポケモン　モンスターボール　わすれずに」 ''"Oh, a Pokémon; don't forget to bring your {{tt|Monster Balls|Poké Balls}}."''
* In {{g|Pinball}}, the Poké Balls serve as the balls in the machine; they can be used to capture Pokémon and are upgraded depending on the multiplier bonus at the time.
* In some early artwork for {{game|Red and Green|s}}, Poké Balls are shown on the ground in two pieces while the Pokémon are in battle, rather than in the more familiar hinged form they take now. This may be a carryover from when Pokémon was known as Capsule Monsters, as the Poké Ball sprites in [[Generation I]] also do not show the button on the ball. In [[Generation II]], Poké Balls split in half when capturing a Pokémon as part of their animation, while the anime had been using the hinge style since the very first episode.
* In the earlier volumes of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, Poké Balls captured and released Pokémon in large puffs of smoke, often with a strong sound effect. This may have been based on the capture and release animations in Generation I and II. As [[Generation III]] onwards exchanged the smoke effect for Ball-specific animations, the effect in the manga shifted instead to bursts of light.
* Poké Balls are inspired by the capsules for {{wp|gashapon}} machines, which contain small, handheld toys.
* In Generation II, after catching a Pokémon, the Poké Ball's color palette changes to that of the Pokémon that was just caught. It then changes back to normal thereafter.
* Starting in Generation III, all Poké Ball types have a special effect that appears whenever the ball is opened. These special effects also can be seen in [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. In [[Generation IV]] and [[Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]], customizable special effects are available through [[Seal]]s.
* In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, [[Cyrus]]'s computer indicates that a Poké Ball would limit the power of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}. This leads to [[Team Galactic]] creating the [[Red Chain]] instead to shackle them so they can control their full power.
* [[Generation VI]] is the only completed generation to date to not have introduced a new type of Poké Ball.
