'''Arceus''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アルセウス''' ''Arceus'') is a {{type2|Normal}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It is currently the final Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex]] as of [[Generation IV]]. Like {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}} before it, Arceus was not officially recognized by Nintendo until February, 2009, the year of its debut movie. It was later revealed by the [[Pokémon.com|official site]] on August 3rd, 2009, making all Pokémon in the games officially revealed.

Arceus is also known as "The Original One," as it is said that it created [[Sinnoh]], and possibly the entire [[Pokémon universe]], along with the [[lake guardians]] and [[dragon trio]]. The only legitimate way to get Arceus is with the [[Azure Flute]], which has yet to be distributed officially, or through a Nintendo event.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Arceus is an equine being similar to a {{wp|Qilin}} or {{wp|Centaur}}. Its body is white with a gray, vertically-striated underside, the pattern of which has similar recurrences on the underside of Arceus's mane, tail, and face, and Arceus's four pointed feet are tipped with gold hooves. Its mane is quite long, jutting away from its head, and its face is gray, with green eyes and red pupils, and a green circular pattern below its eyes. Arceus also has a streak of gold coloration on its head, and ears that point upward. Its neck is fairly long, with two pairs of extrusions to the sides, and a flap-like feature on the neck's underside that is colored white like much of the body. It also has a golden cross-like wheel attached to its body by its round abdomen, which changes color along with its eyes and hooves based on Arceus's {{t|{{arceustype}}|current type}}. The wheel also has four jewels attached to it. The pattern of striated gray of Arceus's underbelly resumes past Arceus's waist, the underside of Arceus's limbs also being gray in coloration, and with extrusions at the tops of the legs. Arceus's tail is fairly like its mane in shape and coloration.

====Gender differences====
Arceus is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
[[File:Arceus_Formes.gif|right|thumb|An animation displaying Arceus's different colorings while holding plates]]
According to legend, Arceus is thought to have created the [[Sinnoh]] region and possibly the entire [[Pokémon world]], the [[Lake guardians]]: {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and the [[dragon trio]]: {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}.

Arceus is multifarious; it can change forms and types with the use of the special [[plate]]s.

Arceus is [[signature move|the only known]] Pokémon who can learn {{m|Judgment}}. Arceus can also use many attacks of various types, but to a lesser extent than {{p|Smeargle}} or {{p|Mew}}. Arceus is also the only non-Dragon-type Pokémon other than Smeargle who can learn {{m|Draco Meteor}}, although it must become a {{type2|Dragon}} (by holding a {{DL|Plate|Draco Plate}}) in order to learn it.

According to the anime, its power can also bring back things that it once destroyed or make certain things to vanish into thin air. Arceus also has the ability to halt time.

===Behavior===
While normally a kind, heroic and benevolent Pokémon, Arceus does not suffer fools gladly, and will attack in a violent rampage if betrayed or deceived. It also holds long grudges if angered.

===Habitat===
Arceus lives at the [[Hall of Origin]], which can only be accessed by use of the [[Azure Flute]] at [[Spear Pillar]]. However, in the [[M12|twelfth Pokémon movie]], it seems to live in a wide dimension of stars and galaxies.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
In [[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]] it is said to "feed" off of the energy of the elemental plates.

==In the anime==
[[File:Arceus movie 12.png|thumb|250px|right|{{mov|Arceus|Arceus|12}} in the anime]]
{{an|Arceus}} made its debut in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. It was angry at the people of [[Michina Town]] for [[Damos]]'s unwitting betrayal of it in ancient times, and so attempted to destroy the land. When Ash and his friends are teleported by {{an|Dialga}} to ancient times, they directly influence the event, changing the future for the better so that Arceus will stop its destruction.

In ''[[DP152|Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', although Arceus is neither seen nor named, the [[Red Chain]] is said to contain the power of 'The Original One'. Using the Red Chain, Cyrus takes control of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} by causing a red ring similar to the one surrounding Arceus' body to appear around their bodies.

Arceus makes a cameo in the opening [[The Greatest - Everyday!]], along with the [[dragon trio]].

==In the manga==
[[Image:Encounter Arceus HGSS Special.png|thumb|right|Gold encountering Arceus]]Arceus appears as a central character in the Movie 12 manga adaptation, reprising its role from the film. After Arceus saved the world from a meteor, [[Damos]] took care of it. It gave Damos the [[Jewel of Life]] to make the land of [[Michīna]] rich and fertile. Damos then betrayed Arceus, and it has been outraged ever since.

In [[Pokémon Adventures]], {{adv|Gold}} and his team battle a wild Arceus in the opening pages of the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, and even [[Explotaro]]'s powerful [[Blast Burn]] attack is unable to damage the incredible beast.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Arceus (TCG)}}
Arceus appears in the TCG in all nine {{TCG|elemental types}}, and a player can have as many Arceus cards in their deck as they like, unlike all other cards in the game (besides {{TCG|Basic Energy card}}s). Cards based on Arceus first appeared in the {{TCG|Platinum: Arceus|Arceus}} expansion set.

[[File:Spr 4p 493-Unknown.png|thumb|right|Normal-color sprite for {{type2|???}} Arceus]][[File:Spr 4p 493-Unknown s.png|thumb|right|{{pkmn2|Shiny}} sprite for {{type2|???}} Arceus]]
* At level 80, Arceus is the second highest level non-glitch Pokémon available for capture. The highest is {{p|Magikarp}} which can be caught at up to level 100 in {{game|Platinum}}. It is, however, still the highest level {{pkmn2|legendary}} Pokémon available for capture.
* Arceus's English name has had three different pronunciations. Before it was officially revealed, fans pronounced it as "AR-see-oos", as does [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]. Then, a promotional trailer for ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' pronounced it as "Ar-SAY-us". Its official pronunciation was then revealed in a [[Pokémon.com]] mailbag as "ARK-ee-us". Its original pronunciation is still in popular usage, however, and isn't considered to be incorrect.
* Arceus's [[base stat]] total is 720, higher than any other Pokémon. {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 680|Previous Pokémon}}, among them {{p|Mewtwo}}, have only had a maximum total of 680.
** In its base form, Arceus has the highest [[base stat]] in {{stat|Defense}} of all {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.
* Arceus has the highest base [[experience]] yield of all Pokémon, tied with {{p|Happiny}}, {{p|Chansey}}, and {{p|Blissey}}. That means an Arceus would yield 13,933 experience points when defeated if it is at [[level]] 100 and belongs to a {{pkmn|Trainer}}.
* The code for Diamond and Pearl has sprites for Arceus using its Multitype ability with all 18 types, including {{type2|???}}. It is disputed whether the ???-type Arceus is obtainable, as there is no [[plate]] in the code that can be used for this. It is possible this sprite was programmed in to prevent game crashes caused by tampering with Arceus's type.
* Arceus's signature move, {{m|Judgment}}, is the only move that Arceus is guaranteed [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] for, as it is always the same type as Arceus itself. However, on the battle screen, Judgment is always displayed as a {{type2|Normal}} attack.
* Even though it is said that Arceus created the world with its thousand arms, it is not shown to have any arms at all, nor can it learn hand- and arm-based moves such as the elemental punches.
* Holding the {{DL|Plate|Sky Plate}}, Arceus is the only Pokémon able to become a pure {{type2|Flying}} outside of battle (other Pokémon can do so in battle through the use of {{m|Conversion}}, {{m|Conversion 2}}, and {{a|Color Change}}).
* With the appropriate [[plate]], Arceus is the only legendary {{t|Poison}}-, {{t|Bug}}-, or {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon.
* {{m|Earth Power}} is the only move with a fixed base power, besides {{m|Judgment}}, that Arceus learns by level-up which can receive [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] with a plate attached.
* Arceus is the only [[trio master]] not catchable by typical in-game mechanics, instead needing an event item (the [[Azure Flute]]) to be catchable in-game.
** Furthermore, Arceus is the only trio master of two [[Lake guardians|different]] [[Dragon trio|trios]].
* Arceus is the only Pokémon to never officially receive a [[List of Pokémon by Diamond & Pearl Battle Pokédex number|DPBP number]], although it or one of its forms probably would have been assigned DPBP#532 had that system continued to be used.
* The ring around Arceus's body appears to have a malevolent counterpart in the embodiment of the [[Red Chain]], as a red version of it is shown to ring Dialga and Palkia around the middle when [[Cyrus]] takes control of them in [[DP152]].
* Arceus is one of three Pokémon that can learn all of the [[HM]] moves, including ones which no longer have that status. The others are {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Smeargle}} through {{m|Sketch}}.
* Arceus is the one who is rumored to have prevented all Pokémon in the future from disappearing in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]]. Dialga explains that "it was no miracle" that they were saved, and that "a greater power" saved them all. Arceus is the leader of the dragon trio, of which Dialga is a member.
===Origin===
Arceus is particularly based on a {{wp|creator deity}}, present in many world cultures. It may also be a reference to the Chinese mythical creature, the {{wp|Qilin}}. Its myth is nearly identical to that of the {{wp|Pangu}}, the Chinese creation deity.

Arceus may also be inspired by (or a representation of) {{wp|Avalokiteśvara}} who, in {{wp|Buddhism}}, is either pictured with eleven heads and one thousand arms (the latter of which is mentioned in Arceus's flavor text) or in a white four-armed manifestation (which could look similar to Arceus's Normal form).

Some inspiration may have come from a {{wp|horse}}, because of its Platinum sprite and attack movements in Pokémon Battle Revolution.

====Name origin====
Arceus's name may come from the words ''arch'' (highest) and ''deus'', which is Latin and Greek for ''god''. It may also have a root in the Latin word ''arcanus'', which means ''secret; sacred mystery''.

Arceus's name may also come from the word ''archaic'' (ancient), which comes from the Greek ''arkhaios'', and is derived from the ancient Greek word for "beginning", ''arkhē''. It could have also come from the Latin word ''archetypus'' (original). Alternatively, Arceus's name can be seen as a portmanteau of ''Zeus'', the most powerful of Greek gods and ''arch'' (highest).

Another theory may be the combination of Zeus and Ra spelled backwards. Zeus being the king of gods and ''Ra'' being the solar god and creator. Those two cualities are shared by the pokemon.

Arceus's name is pronounced with a soft "c" by the announcer in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]; in keeping with its probable name origin, it is pronounced with a hard "c" in television commercials and in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.

'''Pyramid King Brandon''' (Japanese: '''ピラミッドキングジンダイ''' ''Pyramid King Jindai'') is the [[Frontier Brain]] and chief of the {{ho|Battle Frontier}}'s {{DL|Battle Frontier (Hoenn)|Battle Pyramid}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Brandon DP.png|left|250px|thumb|Brandon in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
He is shrouded in mystery for most of the [[Pokémon: Battle Frontier|Battle Frontier saga]]. Unlike the other [[Frontier Brain|Brains]], his silhouette is not shown on its own during the opening and is only seen in the center of the group shot. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s will only find out the location of the Battle Pyramid after they have collected the other six symbols. This may mean that Brandon ranks higher than the rest of the Frontier Brains, although in the [[Pokémon games|video games]] and {{pkmn|manga}} this position belongs to {{FB|Salon Maiden|Anabel}}. When {{Ash}} finally gets his sixth Frontier Symbol in ''[[AG170|Second Time's the Charm]]'', he learns that it is located near [[Pewter City]].

His first {{pkmn|battle}} with Brandon occurred in ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within]]''. However, Ash was possessed by an [[King of Pokélantis|ancient king]] of the Pyramid who battled [[Brandon's Regirock]] with [[Ash's Sceptile]]. Sceptile unfortunately was defeated, though Ash eventually regained control of his body and the Pyramid was moved to an area near the [[Indigo Plateau]].

For their second battle in ''[[AG186|Overjoyed!]]'', [[Ash's Torkoal]] squared off against [[Brandon's Registeel]]. However, Torkoal too was defeated by Brandon's [[legendary Pokémon]].

Ash and {{ashfr|co.}} met up with Brandon in a forest, in ''[[AG189|Gathering the Gang of Four]]''. In ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]'', Brandon and Ash fought in a 4 vs 4 battle. Brandon's {{p|Dusclops}} defeated [[Ash's Charizard]] in the first round, but was then defeated by [[Ash's Bulbasaur]]. Then, Brandon's {{p|Ninjask}} squared off against [[Ash's Squirtle]]. Squirtle was able to beat Ninjask with a {{m|Hydro Pump}}. In the next round, Squirtle was defeated by Brandon's {{p|Solrock}}, which on its turn, drew with Bulbasaur. With both competitors left to their last Pokémon, Ash used his {{AP|Pikachu}} while Brandon unveiled yet another Pokémon from his legendary army—this time, a {{TP|Brandon|Regice}}. Pikachu however, managed to hold its own against the [[Legendary Golems|legendary golem]] and came out victorious, becoming only the second Pokémon in the anime to have defeated a legendary Pokémon, after Charizard.

Brandon appears again in [[DP128]] where he is challenged to a battle by [[Paul]]. He also wins the match easily.

In [[DP129]], Brandon tries and fails to stop [[J|Pokémon Hunter J]] from disturbing {{p|Regigigas}} and it then goes on a rampage. It eventually calms down when Brandon saves it from being turned into a statue by [[J]]. He then leaves {{TP|Brandon|Regirock}}, {{TP|Brandon|Registeel}} and {{TP|Brandon|Regice}} at the [[Snowpoint Temple]] to protect Regigigas.

==In the games==
Any Trainer arriving at the top of the Battle Pyramid just after Brandon must battle against him for the status of the Pyramid's conqueror.

Brandon appreciates the grand life of the explorer. He recalls the passion, danger, and desperation of his death-defying and life-affirming adventures. When defeated in battle, he'll praise the grandness of the match and hand over the Brave Symbol.

===Quotes===
* First battle:
''"Young adventurer... Wouldn't you agree that explorations are the grandest of adventures? Your own wits! Your own strength! Your own Pokémon! And, above all, only your courage to lead you through unknown worlds... Aah, yes, indeed this life is grand! Grand, it is! Eh? I'm Brandon. I'm the Pyramid King, which means I'm in charge here. Most people call me the chief! You coming here means you have that much confidence in yourself, am I right? Hahahah! This should be exciting! Now, then! Bring your courage to our battle!"''

''"That's it! You’ve done great! You've worked hard for this! Hahahah! Grand it was! Grand, yes, indeed! Well done! You've earned recognition! Your Frontier Pass, please! Young explorer! I look forward to our next meeting! "''

* Second battle:
''"...You've finally returned, young explorer... Your love for adventure seems to come deep from within your heart... Yes... You are exactly as I was in my own youth... ... ... ...Ah... The passionate! The dangerous! The desperate! Those days of death-defying, life-affirming adventures are back... Now, then! I sense my courage is off the meter! Everything you have! I'm braced for it all!"''

''"That's it! You've done it! You kept working for this! Hahahah! Remarkable! Yes, it's grand, indeed! Young explorer! You've bested me through and through! Here! I want you to have this! Ah, yes! It just goes to show that I have much to learn still! May our paths cross again! Farewell for now, young explorer!"''

==In the Pokémon Special manga==
Brandon took witness to {{Special|Emerald}}'s battle with Noland and immediately refined his facility for him, just in case. He seems to carry a special dislike for Emerald, but treats him fairly - explaining the rules of the {{Ho|Battle Frontier}} and showing off his Pokémon to the boy before the challenge. He expects Emerald to be tired out during their confrontation, but is surprised to see that Emerald used a {{p|Phanpy}}'s {{a|Pickup}} ability to collect enough items to keep his team refreshed. Brandon says he favors [[one-hit knockout move]]s, like {{m|Explosion}}.

===Pokémon===
The following is the listing for Brandon's Pokémon in the Pokémon Special manga:

|}

==Trivia==
* Brandon tends to yell "Nooo!!" (Japanese: 喝！！ ''Katsu!!'') when he disapproves of something in the anime.
* Brandon is the only character in the {{pkmn|anime}} to officially own Pokémon that have been deemed [[Legendary Pokémon|legendary]].
* He is also the only character to have been challenged 3 times (including the non-official battle with the Ancient King) by Ash before being defeated. In terms of the number of the battles with Ash, he is one of few known Trainers to have battled Ash more than twice, the other two being [[Clair]] and {{Gary}}. Both also battled Ash thrice, although in Clair's case, the first two official Gym battles were interrupted.
* Both of the teams that he uses in {{game|Emerald}} are made up of the members of a [[legendary trio]] found in the [[Generation III]] paired [[version]]s. Coincidentally, both trios can also be found in {{v2|Platinum}}, but not in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}.
*He is the secon human to be turned into stone, the first is [[Ash Ketchup]]. However unlike Ash, Brandon don't die.

'''Sand Tomb''' (Japanese: '''すなじごく''' ''Sand Hell'') is a damage-dealing {{type2|Ground}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation III]].

==Effect==
===Generation III===
Sand Tomb traps the target in a sandstorm for 2-5 turns, inflicting damage at the end of each turn.

If a [[wild Pokémon]] uses Sand Tomb on the player's Pokémon, the player may [[escape]] if his or her Pokémon has the {{a|Run Away}} [[ability]]. However, Run Away does not allow the player to switch the Pokémon out.

===Generation IV===
Sand Tomb's effects are the same as in Generation III. If the user of Sand Tomb is holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Grip Claw}}, the duration of Sand Tomb is always 5 turns.

==Trivia==
The Japanese name, すなじごく (Sand Hell), is probably an idiom referring to the trap an ant lion nymph (q.v. {{p|Trapinch}}) uses to catch prey—a small pit in sand that ants et al. can easily stumble into, but can't climb out of. The nymph itself lies hidden at the bottom of the pit.

'''Froslass''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ユキメノコ''' ''Yukimenoko'') is a [[elemental types|dual-type]] {{2t|Ice|Ghost}} [[Pokémon]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from [[gender|female]] {{p|Snorunt}} when exposed to radiation from a {{evosto|Dawn}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Froslass doesn't have any feet, so it floats in the air like its counterpart, Glalie. What appears to be her torso is hollow, as is stated in the Pokédex's entry for Froslass, which is probably the reason for its surprisingly low weight. This "body" appears to resemble a {{wp|kimono}}, especially due to the fact that the red band around her waist is reminiscent of an {{wp|Obi (sash)|Obi}}. Froslass's head must serve as her actual body. Her arms, which hang off the sides of her head like ears, are flared at the wrist to further give it a kimono look. Froslass's head is shaped like a droplet of water turned on its side. The head has two ice crystals on top of it, as well as several holes through which a purple skin can be seen. From two of them, crystal-blue eyes with yellow {{wp|sclera}}s peek out.

====Gender differences====
Froslass is a female only species. {{p|Glalie}} partially counts as its male counterpart, because they both evolve from the same Pokémon. However, a Glalie could still be female.

====Special abilities====
Froslass has slightly weaker defensive stats than its counterpart, Glalie; however, Froslass has more speed than Glalie. Froslass has a few noticeable differences in its movepool as well. For example, Froslass can use more {{type2|Ghost}} moves than either Snorunt and Glalie can (such as {{m|Confuse Ray}} and {{m|Ominous Wind}}) instead of learning moves like {{m|Dark Pulse}}, {{m|Earthquake}} or {{m|Explosion}}. Froslass can also wield {{t|Electric}}al attacks and {{m|Psychic}} much like other Ghost Pokémon.

===Behavior===

Froslass are very caring. They will stop at nothing to protect and nurse those they trust.

===Habitat===
Froslass live in very snowy areas. Their rarity is quite high.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

While it is difficult to tell what Froslass feed on, they are sometimes found with a [[Babiri Berry]] in their possession.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Frosslass anime.png|thumb|right|210px|Froslass in the anime]]
Froslass had a brief appearance in the {{pkmn|movie}} ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'' where she helped [[Ash's friends]] to stop the glacier.

Froslass made her anime debut in [[DP116]] where she kidnapped {{an|Dawn}}'s {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and {{MTR}} forcing {{Ash}}, {{an|Dawn}}, [[Brock]] and [[Team Rocket]] to help her by saving her child {{p|Snorunt}} from a {{OBP|hunter|DP116}}.

==In the manga==

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Froslass.
* Unlike most other breedable {{type2|Ghost}}s, Froslass is not in the {{egg|Indeterminate}} egg group. It shares this trait with {{p|Sableye}}, which is in the {{egg|Humanshape}} egg group, and {{p|Shedinja}}, which is in the {{egg|Mineral}} egg group, but can only breed with {{p|Ditto}}.
* Froslass and Shedinja are the only two Ghost-types that evolve from a Pokémon that wasn't a Ghost-type, if Shedinja's appearance in the player's party counts as an evolution.
* Froslass is one of three Ghost-types whose [[List of Pokémon by color|color]] isn't in the black or purple category. The others are {{p|Shedinja}} (brown) and {{p|Rotom}} (red).
* Froslass is the only Ghost-type Pokémon that cannot learn {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}.
** However in {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}, it protects itself with a ghostly fire, which is shown in most, if not all, cases to be Will-O-Wisp.
* Although Froslass is a Ghost-type Pokémon and it is stated that it floats in the air, it does not have the ability to {{a|Levitate}}.
* Froslass is the last {{type2|Ice}} Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order.
* Froslass is the only Ghost-type that can learn {{m|Wake-Up Slap}} by level-up.
* As of [[Generation IV]], Froslass is the last Pokémon in the [[National Pokédex]] that evolves from {{p2|Snorunt|another Pokémon}} from a prior generation.
* Froslass is tied with {{p|Gengar}} for the fastest Ghost-type Pokémon, with a base Speed of 110.
* In Platinum, its [[Pokédex]] entry states its breath is -58 degrees, as to the -60 degrees stated in its Diamond and Pearl entries.
*Despite being able to use hands Froslass is unable to learn [[Shadow Claw]] or other scratching move.
===Origin===
Froslass is most likely based on {{wp|Yuki-onna}}, a female ice-spirit of Japanese folklore.

====Name origin====
Its English name comes from ''frost'' and ''lass''. Its Japanese name may come from 雪 ''yuki'', snow, and 女の子 ''menoko'', an old word for ''girl''. It also sounds like a corruption of 着物 ''{{wp|kimono}}''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Frosdedje
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Momartik - From ''môme'' (lass) and ''arctique'' (arctic).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 눈여아 ''Nun'yeoa''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese]]: 霜童女 ''Shuang Tong Nu''

Pokemon487: /* Trivia */

[[Image:Dragontrio.PNG|thumb|right|250px|Dialga, Palkia and Giratina at Spear Pillar (art by [[Ken Sugimori]])]]
The '''dragon trio''' is a term used to refer to three powerful legendary Pokémon of the [[Sinnoh]] region: {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}.

Much like members of other legendary trios, the three Pokémon have similar appearances. Each has {{t|Dragon}} as their secondary type, as well as a [[base stat]] total of {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 680|680}}, divided among the stats as 150-120-120-100-100-90, in different orders.

Dialga controls time and Palkia controls space, two aspects of the [[wp:spacetime|four-dimensional universe]] that the [[Pokémon world]], like our own, is a part of. The final member, Giratina, apparently has control over other dimensions like the [[Distortion World]], which may itself be a location with a fourth spacial dimension.

The three members of this trio share the ability {{a|Pressure}}, however Giratina's [[Form differences#Giratina|Origin Forme]] has {{a|Levitate}}. Likewise, the three are the [[version mascot]]s of the three [[Generation IV]] [[Sinnoh]]-based games, and have similar level-up learnsets.

==Trivia==
*Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina all have footprints that look like crowns. Dialga's looks like a king's crown, Palkia's looks like a queen's, and Giratina's is smaller than that, possibly a prince's.
*Of the three, Palkia is the only member of its trio to share its type with {{p2|Kingdra|another Pokémon}}.
*Giratina (in {{v2|Platinum}}), has its own unique battle music, is able to change forms (between [[Form differences#Giratina|Altered Forme and Origin Forme]]), and has two different menu sprites. Also, Giratina is the only member whose {{game3|Platinum|box art}} differs from its original sprite in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}.
*This trio is the only one whose members are not all in a direct National Dex sequence: {{p|Heatran}} and {{p|Regigigas}} divide Dialga and Palkia from Giratina.
*The first elemental moves show Dialga as physical, the secondary elemental moves shows Giratina as physical and last moves shows Palkia and Giratina.

'''Reflect''' (Japanese: '''リフレクター''' ''Reflector'') is a non-damaging {{type2|Psychic}} move introduced in [[Generation I]].

==Effect==
===Generation I===
Reflect doubles the user's {{stat|Defense}} when the opponent damages the user with a [[physical move]].

Reflect will fail if the user is already under its effect. The effect of Reflect is ignored by self-inflicted confusion damage and critical hits. If Reflect causes the user's defense to reach 1024 or higher at any time during battle calculations, it will be reduced {{wp|modulo operation|mod}} 1024.

===Generation II===
Reflect will be in effect for 5 turns and will halve damage taken from physical moves.

===Generation III===
Same as above, but Reflect will disappear after 5 turns or when the opponent uses {{m|Brick Break}} or {{m|Shadow Shed}} in {{Pokémon XD}}.

===Generation IV===
Same as above, but if {{DL|In-battle effect item|Light Clay}} is held when Reflect is used, it will extend the duration of Reflect from 5 to 8 turns.

==In the anime==
<gallery>
Image:Reflect Anime.jpg|Magcargo using '''Reflect'''.
</gallery>
An invisible wall is put in front of the Pokémon, an almost indestructible defense move that when it's surpassed its breaks in little pieces like a glass breaking. Basically it cut an attack damage in half, the move also lasts several turns even if the Pokémon is changed.

===Pokémon===
'''{{p|Magcargo}}'''. The move is created when its eyes turns light blue and its wall is flexible.
* Used by [[Flannery]]'s Magcargo in ''[[AG056|Going, Going, Yawn!]]'' in a official battle against [[Ash Ketchum]], after its defeat the wall was still working with {{p|Slugma}} until [[Ash's Pikachu]] broke it with {{m|Quick Attack}}.
'''{{p|Alakazam}}'''. The invisible wall is created when it crosses its spoons.
* Used by a [[giant Pokémon|giant]] Alakazam in ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis.]]''
'''{{p|Xatu}}'''. The wall is created when its eyes turns light blue and it opens its wings, when it closes it, the wall disappeared.
* Used by {{ho|Calista}}'s Xatu in ''[[AG076|Me, Myself and Time]]'' to protect them from the rocks.
'''{{p|Lunatone}}'''. The wall is created when its eyes turn blue and sings its name.
*Used by [[Liza]]'s Lunatone in [[AG100]]

'''Giratina''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ギラティナ''' ''Giratina'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Dragon}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon. However, it can change form.

Giratina is the [[version mascot]] of {{game|Platinum}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
As first revealed by Japan's CoroCoro Magazine, Giratina has two forms. The first (Altered Forme) is the form that appeared in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions]]. In this form, Giratina is has a large, gray, centipede-like body with six short legs. Its legs have gold claws and gold bands on them. It has a tail and a thick black stripe running vertically along the front of its body. There is a series of red horizontal stripes running across the large black one. Three gold half-rings circle the back half of Giratina's neck at the same points that three of the red stripes are at on its front, resembling a ribcage. On its back are two large, black wings that are decorated with red, conical objects. The wings seem oddly out of place, due to the fact that Giratina seems far too heavy to fly effectively. The wings also seem to be ghostly, as it can change shape as if it was made of a liquid. Giratina's head and eyes resemble those of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, causing many to theorize that it is related to the two. This assumption is confirmed in Pokémon Platinum. Giratina's {{shiny2}} form is nearly opposite in color compared to the original. The colors of the shiny Origin Forme is the same as the Altered Forme's except for the wings which appear to be a dark shade of brown.

The second is a new Origin Forme which made its debut in ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''; it uses this form when traveling through different dimensions. This form is more serpentine than Giratina's Altered Forme. The Origin Forme of Giratina has six black streamers on its back that each have a red spike at the end. Its mouth is hidden by the head plates, which swing open sideways when the mouth is opening. Giratina's legs have been reduced to spike-like protrusions. There are four more golden spikes near the edge of the tail. This version of Giratina also appears in {{game|Platinum}}.
 

====Gender differences====
Giratina is a genderless and is considered the only one of its kind.

====Special abilities====
As to be expected with other {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon, Giratina is capable of using Ghost, {{t|Dark}}, {{t|Psychic}} and {{t|Electric}}al attacks. Unlike other {{t|Dragon}} Pokémon, Giratina lacks the ability to wield {{t|Ice}}- and {{type2|Fire}} attacks (save for {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, which most Ghost-types learn anyway). Giratina is one out of seven Pokémon that is capable of using {{m|Aura Sphere}}. Since Giratina is a "true" Dragon Pokémon, it is also capable of using {{m|Draco Meteor}}.

In Platinum, Giratina can transform to its Origin Forme by equipping the Platinum Orb. If the orb is unequipped in battle, it goes back to Altered Forme. The Origin Forme has higher offensive stats while the Altered Forme has higher defenses. Since Giratina's Origin Forme (and the Platinum Orb, for that matter) is exclusive to Platinum, when it is traded it will revert back to its Altered Forme, and the Platinum Orb it was holding goes back into the Bag.

Giratina is able to control dimensions besides those of time and space.

Giratina is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Shadow Force}}.

===Behavior===
Judging by the events in Pokémon Platinum and [[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]], its portrayal in [[Sinnoh myths|ancient folklore]], and its Platinum Pokédex entry, it's assumed that Giratina is a highly aggressive Pokémon that is very protective of [[Distortion World|its home]].

===Habitat===
Unlike {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, Giratina is a one-of-a-kind Pokémon due to its "legendary" status. Legends claim that Giratina appears in cemeteries and that this Pokémon supposedly lives in the spirit world, on the reverse side of this one.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Giratina Movie11.JPG|thumb|right|210px|Giratina's Altered Forme in a preview for [[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]].]]
{{an|Giratina}} made its anime debut in ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. In the movie, Giratina lures {{p|Dialga}} into the Reverse World in order to exact revenge against the Temporal Pokémon for causing damage to the Reverse World. [[Zero]] also attempts to copy Giratina's powers in order to take control over the Reverse World.

It will make another appearance in the [[To the Conquering of Space-Time|twelfth movie]] alongside {{an|Dialga}} and {{an|Palkia}}.

* Giratina is the only dual-type Pokémon that has weaknesses to both of its own types, as well as the only {{type2|Ghost}} legendary Pokémon.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Giratina.
* Giratina is one of very few non-{{type2|Flying}} Pokémon that is able to learn {{m|Fly}}. The others are: {{p|Vibrava}}, {{p|Flygon}}, {{p|Latios}}, and {{p|Latias}} (all four of which have the [[ability]] {{a|Levitate}}), {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Smeargle}}, and {{p|Arceus}} (all three of which can learn all [[HM]] moves)
* It is one of eight Pokémon which can change into forms specific to itself, the other seven being {{p|Castform}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Cherrim}}, {{p|Burmy}}, {{p|Rotom}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, and {{p|Arceus}}. Like Deoxys's other forms were not available in the original two versions of its generation, {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, but later became available in the rest of [[Generation III|its generation]], Giratina's Origin Forme is only available in {{game|Platinum}}.
* The Altered Forme is shorter and heavier than the Origin Forme.
* In {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, Giratina is met at level 70, while in {{v2|Platinum}}, Giratina is met at level 47, the same as {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}.
* Giratina, as of Platinum, is the only Pokémon to come out from above instead of from the left of the screen during the start of the battle.
* When Giratina is first battled in Platinum, it does not have a shadow. After capture though, it gains one when leaving a [[Poké Ball]].
* The first released sprite of its Origin Forme was not used in Platinum.
* Giratina is the only one of the [[dragon trio]] with a catch rate of 3.
* Giratina is the last {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon in the National Pokédex.
* In its Origin Forme, Giratina has the highest {{stat|Attack}} stat of all {{type2|Ghost}}
Pokémon.
* Giratina's Altered Forme is the second heaviest of all Pokémon, surpassed only by {{p|Groudon}}.
* Giratina is the only Pokémon in a legendary trio that is separated from the other members of its group in the Pokédex.
*Giratina may be the death god of the pokemon due of {{m2|Heal Block|preventing from stay living}} and appear in cementerys.
*Giratina also is similar to a demon: '''Renegade''' angels that where send to a punish place.
**in Giratina's case an Pokemon Deity that was send to a Inverse World.

===Origin===
Giratina is possibly based on a {{wp|basilisk}}. In the Altered Forme, the wings may be based on a bat's, and its body has the insect-like, six-legged feature, but its posture is similar to a [[wp:sauropod|sauropod]]. Its Origin Forme has a body similar to a serpent, while the six protrusions on its body may be based off of a [[wp:scorpion|scorpion]]'s stinger.

====Name origin====
Giratina's name may be derived from {{wp|platinum}} (written as ''platina'' in {{wp|katakana}}) and either {{wp|guillotine}}, [http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Girasol girasol], {{wp|giraffe}} or girare (meaning to wander).

'''Dialga''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ディアルガ''' ''Dialga'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Dragon}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Dialga is the version mascot of [[Pokémon]] {{v|Diamond}}, appearing on the boxart.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Dialga is dinosaur-like, similar to {{p|Palkia}}, though it seems to be based off of a sauropod. It is mainly dark blue with some gray metallic portions, such as its chestplate, which has a diamond in the center. It also has various light blue spots. It has a somewhat wing-like structure on its back, and a crest on its head, resembling a type of dinosaur. Dialga also has long claws and a short tail.
====Gender differences====
Dialga is a genderless species, although, in {{g|Mystery Dungeon 2}} it is referred to as a male.

====Special abilities====
Dialga has the ability to warp time.

Similar to most other {{type2|Dragon}}s, Dialga is capable of wielding various elemental attacks (except for {{t|Water}} attacks). Dialga can also utilize several {{t|Ground}}-, {{t|Rock}}- and {{Type2|Steel}} moves. It is one of the few Pokémon that can use {{m|Aura Sphere}}.

Dialga's powers can be amplified by the [[Type-enhancing item#Adamant Orb|Adamant Orb]].

Dialga is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Roar of Time}} (apart from an event {{p|Darkrai}} released for the [[The Rise of Darkrai|tenth movie]] in Japan, the Toys "R" Us and [[Nintendo]] World Store Darkrai, and {{p|Smeargle}} which can {{m|Sketch}} the move).

===Behavior===
Being that Dialga, like Palkia, primarily resides in a different dimension, its behavior is nearly impossible to study.

===Habitat===
Dialga lives in another dimension, and can only be summoned to the main Pokémon universe by using the [[Red Chain]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Dialga Statue.jpg|thumb|left|Dialga in the DP opening]][[Image:Dialga Movie10.JPG|right|thumb|230px|{{an|Dialga}} alongside {{an|Palkia}} in ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]'']]
{{an|Dialga}} appears in the [[The Rise of Darkrai|tenth movie]] of the [[Pokémon anime]] along with {{an|Palkia}}. It fights with {{an|Palkia}} and {{an|Darkrai}}, nearly destroying [[Alamos Town]].

The same Dialga made another appearence in the [[Giratina and the Sky Warrior|eleventh movie]]. On its return trip back to its own dimension, Dialga ended up in the [[Reverse World]] and got attacked by {{an|Giratina}}, who is mad that the battle that Dialga had with Palkia damaged its world.

The Dialga appears once again in [[To the Conquering of Space-Time|the twelfth movie]], this time co-starring with both other members of [[legendary titans|its trio]].

Dialga's statue appears with its silhouette in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]''

Dialga also makes a cameo in the Diamond and Pearl theme song.

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon DP (Shigekatsu Ihara)|Pokémon DP]], [[Hareta]] and [[Mitsumi]] set out on a journey with the intention of finding the god-like Pokémon, Dialga. Oddly, Palkia does not receive a mention.

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

==Other appearances==

===Super Smash Bros. Brawl===
[[Image:SSBBSpearPillarDialga.png|right|thumb|Dialga on Spear Pillar]]
Dialga appears as a stage Pokémon in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], along with {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Cresselia}}, and the [[Lake trio]] on the stage [[Spear Pillar]]. It affects the stage much differently than that of its counterpart, such as slowing down time, and even going off of its post to attack the players in the middle. It can also distort the stage, like Palkia, but only slightly and not as extreme, as well as shoot beams from various locations.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
{{spoilers}}
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]]: Dialga appears in the main storyline, but mostly as [[Primal Dialga]] (Japanese: やみのディアルガ ''Dark Dialga''). In the future, because of the collapse of the [[Temporal Tower]], Dialga has lost control of itself and has entered a state of self-preservation, keeping time frozen and refusing to let it flow properly. When the player and partner return from the future and arrive at the Tower, soon to collapse, they have to battle Dialga, having almost turned Primal, to put some sense into it and restore the Tower. After this, Dialga revives the player (who was erased from existence) in gratitude.

==Trivia==
* Dialga's US name was officially revealed on January 20th 2006, along with Palkia's name.
* Dialga has an astounding eleven resistances and one immunity, making it one of the most resistant Pokémon, second only to {{p|Magnemite}} and its two evolutions, although the aforementioned has more weaknesses as well. It is also tied in resistances and immunity with {{p|Empoleon}}.
* Dialga is the second Pokémon to have the ability to manipulate time, the first being {{p|Celebi}}.
* Dialga is the seventh tallest Pokémon and the tallest Generation IV Pokémon.
* No other Pokémon shares the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Dialga.
* Dialga is the only {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon that isn't weak to Dragon-type moves as of [[Generation IV]], due to the {{type2|Steel}}'s resistance to them.
* Despite being genderless in the main series games, Dialga is referred to as a male in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]].
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]], Dialga, along with {{p|Palkia}} and {{p|Regigigas}}, all speak in capital letters, unlike the other Pokémon in the game.
* Dialga, along with Palkia and {{p|Phione}}, has the second highest [[catch rate]] out of all the legendary Pokémon, with a catch rate of 30, only topped by {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, and {{p|Shaymin}} with catch rates of 45.
* Diamond in several languages starts with "D", like Dialga.
* The spikes on the Dialga's back, at a certain point of view, look similar to a [[Time Gears|time gear]]. In the anime, when Dialga uses Roar of Time, the spine extends and the five spikes become thinner and more pronounced.
* Dialga is the second Pokémon in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] series to feature an [[alternate coloration]] that is not its shiny coloration, the first being {{p|Kecleon}}.
* Dialga's Steel typing may reference the fact that diamond is the hardest mineral on earth.
**Dialga steel type makes reference to the time: the steel born from a rock, grows in a factory and dies in oxidation.This cycle is similar to the life cycle of any creature: born,grow and die.
* Dialga and {{p|Palkia}} are the first legendary Pokémon to be seen at a level that is not divisible by 5, appearing at Level 47.
**This only applies to {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, due to the fact that in {{g|Platinum}}, they are both encountered at level 70.
* Interestingly, only two of Dialga's level-up moves are super effective against it: {{m|Aura Sphere}} and {{m|Earth Power}}.
* Since Dialga has been confirmed to be in the 12th movie, Dialga is the first legendary Pokémon to have 3 major roles in the movies. Dialga also has the most major movie appearances of any Pokémon besides Pikachu and Meowth.

===Origin===
Dialga is based after a {{wp|dinosaur}} with a {{wp|diamond}}. The dinosaur it is possibly based on is the largest dinosaur, known as {{wp|Amphicoelias}}. It was the longest, tallest, and biggest dinosaur in the world, hence the size of Dialga.

====Name origin====
The ''Dia'' in its name is derived from the word ''diamond'', even though the Japanese word for diamond is ダイヤモンド ''daiyamondo''. The "''ga''" part in its name may be a corruption of "''gon''", referring to its origin and type. Its name could also be a reference to a {{wp|Sundial|sun dial}}, which is used to tell the time, or a dial found on a clock. However, the Greek root "''dia''" can be translated to the word ''through'', and one can refer to Dialga as going "through" time.

'''Giratina''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ギラティナ''' ''Giratina'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Dragon}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon. However, it can change form.

Giratina is the [[version mascot]] of {{game|Platinum}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
As first revealed by Japan's CoroCoro Magazine, Giratina has two forms. The first (Altered Forme) is the form that appeared in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions]]. In this form, Giratina is has a large, gray, centipede-like body with six short legs. Its legs have gold claws and gold bands on them. It has a tail and a thick black stripe running vertically along the front of its body. There is a series of red horizontal stripes running across the large black one. Three gold half-rings circle the back half of Giratina's neck at the same points that three of the red stripes are at on its front, resembling a ribcage. On its back are two large, black wings that are decorated with red, conical objects. The wings seem oddly out of place, due to the fact that Giratina seems far too heavy to fly effectively. The wings also seem to be ghostly, as it can change shape as if it was made of a liquid. Giratina's head and eyes resemble those of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, causing many to theorize that it is related to the two. This assumption is confirmed in Pokémon Platinum. Giratina's {{shiny2}} form is nearly opposite in color compared to the original. The colors of the shiny Origin Forme is the same as the Altered Forme's except for the wings which appear to be a dark shade of brown.

The second is a new Origin Forme which made its debut in ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''; it uses this form when traveling through different dimensions. This form is more serpentine than Giratina's Altered Forme. The Origin Forme of Giratina has six black streamers on its back that each have a red spike at the end. Its mouth is hidden by the head plates, which swing open sideways when the mouth is opening. Giratina's legs have been reduced to spike-like protrusions. There are four more golden spikes near the edge of the tail. This version of Giratina also appears in {{game|Platinum}}.
 

====Gender differences====
Giratina is a genderless and is considered the only one of its kind.

====Special abilities====
As to be expected with other {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon, Giratina is capable of using Ghost, {{t|Dark}}, {{t|Psychic}} and {{t|Electric}}al attacks. Unlike other {{t|Dragon}} Pokémon, Giratina lacks the ability to wield {{t|Ice}}- and {{type2|Fire}} attacks (save for {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, which most Ghost-types learn anyway). Giratina is one out of seven Pokémon that is capable of using {{m|Aura Sphere}}. Since Giratina is a "true" Dragon Pokémon, it is also capable of using {{m|Draco Meteor}}.

In Platinum, Giratina can transform to its Origin Forme by equipping the Platinum Orb. If the orb is unequipped in battle, it goes back to Altered Forme. The Origin Forme has higher offensive stats while the Altered Forme has higher defenses. Since Giratina's Origin Forme (and the Platinum Orb, for that matter) is exclusive to Platinum, when it is traded it will revert back to its Altered Forme, and the Platinum Orb it was holding goes back into the Bag.

Giratina is able to control dimensions besides those of time and space.

Giratina is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Shadow Force}}.

===Behavior===
Judging by the events in Pokémon Platinum and [[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]], its portrayal in [[Sinnoh myths|ancient folklore]], and its Platinum Pokédex entry, it's assumed that Giratina is a highly aggressive Pokémon that is very protective of [[Distortion World|its home]].

===Habitat===
Unlike {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, Giratina is a one-of-a-kind Pokémon due to its "legendary" status. Legends claim that Giratina appears in cemeteries and that this Pokémon supposedly lives in the spirit world, on the reverse side of this one.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Giratina Movie11.JPG|thumb|right|210px|Giratina's Altered Forme in a preview for [[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]].]]
{{an|Giratina}} made its anime debut in ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. In the movie, Giratina lures {{p|Dialga}} into the Reverse World in order to exact revenge against the Temporal Pokémon for causing damage to the Reverse World. [[Zero]] also attempts to copy Giratina's powers in order to take control over the Reverse World.

It will make another appearance in the [[To the Conquering of Space-Time|twelfth movie]] alongside {{an|Dialga}} and {{an|Palkia}}.

* Giratina is the only dual-type Pokémon that has weaknesses to both of its own types, as well as the only {{type2|Ghost}} legendary Pokémon.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Giratina.
* Giratina is one of very few non-{{type2|Flying}} Pokémon that is able to learn {{m|Fly}}. The others are: {{p|Vibrava}}, {{p|Flygon}}, {{p|Latios}}, and {{p|Latias}} (all four of which have the [[ability]] {{a|Levitate}}), {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Smeargle}}, and {{p|Arceus}} (all three of which can learn all [[HM]] moves)
* It is one of eight Pokémon which can change into forms specific to itself, the other seven being {{p|Castform}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Cherrim}}, {{p|Burmy}}, {{p|Rotom}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, and {{p|Arceus}}. Like Deoxys's other forms were not available in the original two versions of its generation, {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, but later became available in the rest of [[Generation III|its generation]], Giratina's Origin Forme is only available in {{game|Platinum}}.
* The Altered Forme is shorter and heavier than the Origin Forme.
* In {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, Giratina is met at level 70, while in {{v2|Platinum}}, Giratina is met at level 47, the same as {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}.
* Giratina, as of Platinum, is the only Pokémon to come out from above instead of from the left of the screen during the start of the battle.
* When Giratina is first battled in Platinum, it does not have a shadow. After capture though, it gains one when leaving a [[Poké Ball]].
* The first released sprite of its Origin Forme was not used in Platinum.
* Giratina is the only one of the [[dragon trio]] with a catch rate of 3.
* Giratina is the last {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon in the National Pokédex.
* In its Origin Forme, Giratina has the highest {{stat|Attack}} stat of all {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon.
* Giratina's Altered Forme is the second heaviest of all Pokémon, surpassed only by {{p|Groudon}}.
* Giratina is the only Pokémon in a legendary trio that is separated from the other members of its group in the Pokédex.

===Origin===
Giratina is possibly based on a {{wp|basilisk}},due to the fact that Giratina appear a serpent and a basilisk kills with eyes and Giratina learns Scary Face. In the Altered Forme, the wings may be based on a bat's, and its body has the insect-like, six-legged feature, but its posture is similar to a [[wp:sauropod|sauropod]]. Its Origin Forme has a body similar to a serpent, while the six protrusions on its body may be based off of a [[wp:scorpion|scorpion]]'s stinger.

====Name origin====
Giratina's name may be derived from {{wp|platinum}} (written as ''platina'' in {{wp|katakana}}) and either {{wp|guillotine}}, [http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Girasol girasol], {{wp|giraffe}} or girare (meaning to wander).

'''Palkia''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パルキア''' ''Palkia'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Dragon}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Palkia is the version mascot of [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Pearl]], appearing on the boxart.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Palkia looks dinosaur-like, similar to Dialga, though it seems to be based off of a therapod. Although it possesses wings, it does not possess the ability to fly more than a couple feet off the ground. It has plates on its shoulder area, where two pink pearls lie encrusted. Palkia has a long neck and a powerful tail.

====Gender differences====
Palkia is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
Palkia has the ability to warp space. In the Pearl version of the game, it is mentioned on the statue in [[Eterna City]] that it can create alternate realities.

Palkia's skills in battle are mostly the same as Dialga's, except that Palkia can learn a handful of {{type2|Water}} moves. Palkia is also slightly faster than Dialga and has weaker defensive stats.

Palkia's powers can be amplified with the [[Lustrous Orb]].

In {{g|Mystery Dungeon 2}}, Palkia travels by creating a large yellow sphere from its two pearls, then using it to fly very fast.

Palkia is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Spacial Rend}} (apart from an event {{p|Darkrai}} released for the tenth movie in Japan, another released in US, and {{p|Smeargle}} who can {{m|Sketch}} it).

===Behavior===
Like Dialga, Palkia lives in a different dimension, making its behavior nearly impossible to study.

===Habitat===
Legends say that it lives "in a gap in the spatial dimension parallel to ours."

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Palkia Movie10.JPG|right|250px|thumb|In ''The Rise of Darkrai'']] {{an|Palkia}} makes an appearance in ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]'' along with {{an|Dialga}} and {{an|Darkrai}}, in which it fights with Dialga and nearly destroys [[Alamos Town]].

In ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', it did not have a main role, but appeared in a flashback to its battle with Dialga from ''The Rise of Darkrai''.

Finally, in ''[[To the Conquering of Space-Time]]'', Palkia, alongside {{an|Dialga}} and {{an|Giratina}}, fight a battle which awakens {{p2|Arceus|an ancient power}}...

A silhouette of Palkia appeared in ''[[DP033|All Dressed up with Somewhere to Go]]''.

Palkia's statue appears with its silhouette in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]''

Palkia also makes a cameo in the [[Together]] and [[Diamond and Pearl (song)|Diamond and Pearl]] openings.

==In the manga==

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

==Other appearances==
===Super Smash Bros. Brawl===
[[Image:SSBBSpearPillarPalkia.png|right|thumb|Palkia on Spear Pillar]]
Palkia occasionally appears on the [[Spear Pillar]] stage as one of three Pokémon that controls it. Unlike Dialga and {{p|Cresselia}}, it'll use its powers to distort the stage however possible. Some examples include tilting the stage, turning the stage completely upside down and reversing the screen itself (the last two will cause the movement controls to be reversed temporarily). It often shoot beams in the cave below, dealing a lot of damage to the players that get caught in the blast.

==Trivia==
* Palkia's US name was revealed, along with Dialga's, on 20th January 2006.
* Palkia has a [[footprint]] that is the same shape as crowns. The other two members of the dragon trio, {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Giratina}}, also have crown-shaped footprints.
* Palkia and {{p|Kingdra}} are the only two Pokémon that are {{t|Dragon}}/{{type|Water}}.
** Due to this, Palkia is the only member of the [[dragon trio]] that does not have a unique type combination.
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]], Palkia, along with {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Regigigas}}, all speak in capital letters, unlike the other Pokémon in the game.
* Palkia, along with Dialga and {{p|Phione}}, has the second highest [[catch rate]] after {{p|Shaymin}} out of all the legendary Pokémon, with a catch rate of 30.
* Although Palkia is genderless in the main games, it is referred to as a male in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]].
* Palkia's {{t|Water}} typing could be explained by the fact that {{wp|pearl}}s come from {{wp|oyster}}s, which live underwater.
**The water type on Palkia colud be an explanation to the space: the water can take any shape and the space can do that,also the water could be or too big (ocean) or too small (pond) the space a world or a universe.
* Palkia and {{p|Dialga}} are the first legendary Pokémon to be met at a level that is not divisible by 5, appearing at Level 47.
**This only applies to {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, due to the fact that in {{g|Platinum}}, they are both encountered at level 70.
* Palkia is in the highest IQ group. It takes this position in IQ group J and is the only Pokémon in IQ group J.
===Origin===
Palkia is likely based after a European {{wp|dragon}} with a {{wp|pearl}}. Like {{p|Dialga}}'s origin possibly from the largest sauropod dinosaur, {{wp|Amphicoelias}}, Palkia may be based on another sauropod, the bipedal {{wp|Plateosaurus}}.
====Name origin====
The ''Pal (Paru)'' in its name is derived from the Japanese word for pearl, パール ''pāru''.

Although it possesses wings, it does not possess the ability to fly more than a couple feet off the ground. It has plates on its shoulder area, where two pink pearls lie encrusted. Palkia has a long neck and a powerful tail.

====Gender differences====
Palkia is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
Palkia has the ability to warp space. In the Pearl version of the game, it is mentioned on the statue in [[Eterna City]] that it can create alternate realities.

Palkia's skills in battle are mostly the same as Dialga's, except that Palkia can learn a handful of {{type2|Water}} moves. Palkia is also slightly faster than Dialga and has weaker defensive stats.

Palkia's powers can be amplified with the [[Lustrous Orb]].

In {{g|Mystery Dungeon 2}}, Palkia travels by creating a large yellow sphere from its two pearls, then using it to fly very fast.

Palkia is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Spacial Rend}} (apart from an event {{p|Darkrai}} released for the tenth movie in Japan, another released in US, and {{p|Smeargle}} who can {{m|Sketch}} it).

===Behavior===
Like Dialga, Palkia lives in a different dimension, making its behavior nearly impossible to study.

===Habitat===
Legends say that it lives "in a gap in the spatial dimension parallel to ours."

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Palkia Movie10.JPG|right|250px|thumb|In ''The Rise of Darkrai'']] {{an|Palkia}} makes an appearance in ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]'' along with {{an|Dialga}} and {{an|Darkrai}}, in which it fights with Dialga and nearly destroys [[Alamos Town]].

In ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', it did not have a main role, but appeared in a flashback to its battle with Dialga from ''The Rise of Darkrai''.

Finally, in ''[[To the Conquering of Space-Time]]'', Palkia, alongside {{an|Dialga}} and {{an|Giratina}}, fight a battle which awakens {{p2|Arceus|an ancient power}}...

A silhouette of Palkia appeared in ''[[DP033|All Dressed up with Somewhere to Go]]''.

Palkia's statue appears with its silhouette in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]''

Palkia also makes a cameo in the [[Together]] and [[Diamond and Pearl (song)|Diamond and Pearl]] openings.

[[Image:SSBBSpearPillarPalkia.png|right|thumb|Palkia on Spear Pillar]]
Palkia occasionally appears on the [[Spear Pillar]] stage as one of three Pokémon that controls it. Unlike Dialga and {{p|Cresselia}}, it'll use its powers to distort the stage however possible. Some examples include tilting the stage, turning the stage completely upside down and reversing the screen itself (the last two will cause the movement controls to be reversed temporarily). It often shoot beams in the cave below, dealing a lot of damage to the players that get caught in the blast.

==Trivia==
* Palkia's US name was revealed, along with Dialga's, on 20th January 2006.
* Palkia has a [[footprint]] that is the same shape as crowns. The other two members of the dragon trio, {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Giratina}}, also have crown-shaped footprints.
* Palkia and {{p|Kingdra}} are the only two Pokémon that are {{t|Dragon}}/{{type|Water}}.
** Due to this, Palkia is the only member of the [[dragon trio]] that does not have a unique type combination.
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]], Palkia, along with {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Regigigas}}, all speak in capital letters, unlike the other Pokémon in the game.
* Palkia, along with Dialga and {{p|Phione}}, has the second highest [[catch rate]] after {{p|Shaymin}} out of all the legendary Pokémon, with a catch rate of 30.
* Although Palkia is genderless in the main games, it is referred to as a male in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]].
* Palkia's {{t|Water}} typing could be explained by the fact that {{wp|pearl}}s come from {{wp|oyster}}s, which live underwater.
**The water type on Palkia colud be an explanation to the space: the water can take any shape and the space can do that,also the water could be or too big (ocean) or too small (pond) the space a wordl or a universe.
* Palkia and {{p|Dialga}} are the first legendary Pokémon to be met at a level that is not divisible by 5, appearing at Level 47.
**This only applies to {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, due to the fact that in {{g|Platinum}}, they are both encountered at level 70.
* Palkia is in the highest IQ group. It takes this position in IQ group J and is the only Pokémon in IQ group J.
===Origin===
Palkia is likely based after a European {{wp|dragon}} with a {{wp|pearl}}. Like {{p|Dialga}}'s origin possibly from the largest sauropod dinosaur, {{wp|Amphicoelias}}, Palkia may be based on another sauropod, the bipedal {{wp|Plateosaurus}}.
====Name origin====
The ''Pal (Paru)'' in its name is derived from the Japanese word for pearl, パール ''pāru''.

===Quotes===
====Before battle====
''"One look at you tells me many things about you. Together, you and your Pokémon overcame all the challenges you faced, however difficult. It means that you've triumphed over any personal weaknesses, too. The power you learned... I can feel it emanating from you. That's enough talking. Let's get on with why you're here. I, Cynthia, accept your challenge as the Pokémon League Champion! There won't be any letup from me!"''

OR

''"Have you been keeping well? Thank you for Mt. Coronet. I'm truly grateful. Together, you and your Pokémon overcame all the challenges you faced, however difficult. It means that you've triumphed over any personal weaknesses, too. The power you learned... I can feel it emanating from you. But that's enough talk. Let's get on with why you're here. As the Pokémon League Champion, I accept your challenge!"''

The bottom quote is only said the ''very'' first time she is challenged. After winning at least once, it permanently changes to the top quote.

====During battle====
''"I can't remember the last time I was put in a corner like this!"''

''"I won't let this end yet! This match is too fun to let it end this easily!"''

====When defeated====
''"Just a few moments ago, you were the most powerful challenger. And just now, you became the most powerful of all the Trainers. You are now our newest Champion!"''

==In the manga==
===[[Pokémon Special]]===
She first appeared in Eterna City just after the trio's [[starters]] evolved. She lent them some help before the Gym challenge. She later appears after {{Special|Platina}}'s Gym challenge in [[Pastoria City]] to help some injured {{p|Psyduck}}.

==Trivia==
* Cynthia, in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, is the first [[League Champion]] since {{game|Yellow}}'s {{ga|Blue}} not to use any {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon in battle as Champion.
** However, in {{v2|Platinum}}, a {{p|Togekiss}} is added to her team instead of a {{p|Gastrodon}}.
* Cynthia is the first female NPC champion (player characters {{ga|Leaf}}, {{ga|Kris}}, {{ga|May}}, and {{ga|Dawn}} become champion at the end of their journey) and the first NPC champion since {{ga|Blue}} to not have a type theme.
* Cynthia's hairbands resemble Lucario's "Aura Sensors" in shape, yet has a yellow stripe making it similar to an {{p2|Umbreon|Umbreon's ear}}.
* Cynthia is the only member of the Sinnoh [[Elite Four]] not to use any Pokémon released in [[Generation II]].
** However, she has a Togekiss in Platinum, which [[evolution|evolves]] from {{p2|Togetic|a Generation II Pokémon}}.
* As of Platinum, Cynthia owns the only two non-[[Legendary]] Pokémon capable of learning the move {{m|Aura Sphere}}.
* Lucario is the only Pokémon on Cynthia's team that is male.

'''Roserade''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ロズレイド''' ''Roserade'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Roselia}} via {{stone|Shiny Stone}}. It is the final form of {{p|Budew}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
The three spikes that Roserade had on its head when it was a {{p|Roselia}} have been replaced with "hair" made of white rose petals. Roserade no longer has a leafy skirt, but a leafy cape instead. This Pokémon species has eyes that are similar to the Pokémon of {{p|Ralts}}'s evolutionary line. The single roses that Roserade had in its hands when it was a Roselia have now become bouquets of roses instead.
====Gender differences====
A female has a longer cape than a male.

====Special abilities====
Roserade can generally use any attacks that its [[Roserade (Pokémon)#Evolution|pre-evolutions]] can use, but with greater strength. Roserade is able to learn how to perform {{m|Weather Ball}}. As a fully evolved Pokémon, Roserade can use {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}.

===Behavior===
Roserade tend to have quite a deceptive nature. A Roserade lures anything to it with a pleasant aroma and kills the victim with thorny vines hidden within the bouquets it holds in its arms. This is may be how Roserade hunts for food.

===Habitat===
Roserade lives in fields and woods with temperate climates.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Since Roserade is a plant-based Pokémon, Roserade probably nourishes itself through photosynthesis. Roserade probably eats insects that are attracted to the scent of flowers like the ones Roserade has.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Pearl's Roserade.jpg|thumb|Jun's Roserade]]
Roserade first appeared in ''[[DP025|Oh Do You Know The Poffin Plan]]'', under the ownership of [[Forsythia]]. Forsythia first met her Roserade when it was a Budew. Roserade also protects Forsythia's garden from being ravaged.

Another appearance of Roserade was in [[DP037|''The Grass Menagerie!'']] when Ash was battling [[Gardenia]].

Another Roserade appeared in ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]'' as one of the Pokémon attacked by {{an|Darkrai}} and being treated by [[Alicia]] in [[Alice]]'s flashback of her grandmother.

[[Drew]] is revealed to have evolved his {{p|Roselia}} into a {{TP|Drew|Roserade}} by {{an|May}} in ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]'', and was first seen in "person" watching the [[Wallace Cup]] with Drew in ''[[DP079|Strategy With a Smile!]]''

Roserade appeared in [[DP101]] under the ownership of {{an|Jun}}. It was used against his battle against Ash. It defeated {{AP|Chimchar}} with its {{m|Poison Jab}} while it tied with {{AP|Gliscor}}.

==In the manga==
[[Gardenia]] used a Roserade while battling against {{Special|Platina}}.

==In the TCG==

==Trivia==
*A Roserade costume is available in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] to the Cool Girl class.
*Though {{p|Jynx}} is more noticeable, Roserade may have been based on ganguro, a style in Japan that was popular around the 90s where women would acquire a dark tan, bleach their hair to blonde or some other light color, and wear white or light-colored makeup.
*Although Roserade's front sprites show gender differences, its back sprites do not. The same occurs with {{p|Mamoswine}}, and the opposite occurs with {{p|Torchic}}, {{p|Buizel}} and {{p|Floatzel}}.
*Roserade is the only final form dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} Pokémon not introduced in the same generation as all other members of its evolutionary line. It is also the only final form Pokémon of this type combination whose name does not start with "V".
* Since no leveling up is required to evolve it from Roselia, and breeding Budew is optional, Roserade is one of the two fully evolved three-stage Pokémon capable of legitimately being level 1 ({{p|Porygon-Z}} being the other).
*Despite the pokedex is saying that Roserade uses whips Roserade is unable to use [[Vine Whip]], [[Frenzy Plant]] or [[Power Whip]].
**However in the anime [[Grass Knot]] is depicted as long vines.

===Origin===
Roserade is based on a bouquet of roses.
====Name origin====
Roserade's name is probably a combination of ''rose'' and ''masquerade'', due to the appearance of wearing a mask.

'''Fantina's Drifblim''' (Japanese: '''メリッサフワライド''' ''Melissa's Fuwaride'') is [[Fantina]]'s main Pokémon in the anime. She had hatched it from its egg.

Drifblim first appeared as a {{p|Drifloon}} in [[DP093]]. Fantina used it in a informal battle against Ash. Drifloon was easily able to defeat [[Ash's Buizel]] and put his {{AP|Chimchar}} to sleep. During Drifloon's battle against {{AP|Pikachu}}, it evolves into {{p|Drifblim}} and puts Pikachu to sleep, forcing Ash to forfeit.

[[Image:Drifloonfantina.jpg|thumb|left|As a Drifloon]]
Ash had his rematch with Fantina in [[DP102]]. She called Drifblim out as her final Pokémon. A common strategy that {{p|Drifblim}} used was to come in close and grab the opponent and then execute {{m|Hypnosis}} at point-blank range. This proved to be very effective as it was quickly able to defeat both Pikachu and Buizel.

In the final match Drifblim battled Chimchar. Despite proving to be a tough opponent, it ultimately was defeated earning Ash the {{badge|Relic}}.

* {{m|Hypnosis}}
* {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}
* {{m|Ominous Wind}}
* {{m|Psychic}}

==Trivia==
*As a {{p|Drifloon}}, it was able to lift [[Ash's Buizel]] even though {{p|Buizel}} weighes 65 pounds compared to {{p|Drifloon}}, who weighs only 2.6 pounds.
*Furthermore, {{p|Drifblim}} is the first known Pokémon used by a [[Gym Leader]] other than [[Brock]] and [[Misty]] that was hatched from an {{pkmn|Egg}}.
*Despite being a Ghost Pokemon,Fantina is able to grab and hug him.Maybe Ghost Pokemon are able to control their material form.

'''Cresselia''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''クレセリア''' ''Crecelia'') is a {{type2|Psychic}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Cresselia has a blue, swan-like body with a yellow underside, and two magenta tufts that form an arc across her chest. The yellow ornaments on the sides of her head give her head the appearance of a crescent moon. Cresselia also has glowing, pink, ring-like wings on her sides and back.
====Gender differences====
Cresselia is a female-only species.
====Special abilities====
Cresselia has the power to dispel the nightmares induced by {{p|Darkrai}}, and in return induce pleasant dreams. She can also heal psychological scars if the sufferer looks at her. Some fans say Cresselia is the "{{wp|Sandman}}" of the Pokémon world.

Cresselia is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Lunar Dance}}.

===Behavior===
She appears to be gentle, worrying for the ill and giving peace to those tormented by Darkrai.
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]], her opposition to {{p|Darkrai}} becomes clearly evident, with the story showing scenes of Cresselia chasing it.

===Habitat===
Cresselia lives at [[Fullmoon Island]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Cresselia anime.jpg|right|thumb|210px|Cresselia in the anime]]
Cresselia first appeared in a {{wp|Cameo appearance|cameo}} in the beginning of [[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]].

Cresselia made her debut appearance in the anime in [[DP104]] where she battled {{p|Darkrai}}.

==In the manga==

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

==Other appearances==
===Super Smash Bros. Brawl===
Cresselia appears on the [[Spear Pillar]] stage as one of three Pokémon who appear in the center (the others being Dialga and Palkia). Cresselia acts completely different than the other two in terms of attacks she uses. She'll often shoot {{m|Psycho Cut}}s around the field, and sometimes shoot one large Psycho Cut as if it were a boomerang, hitting anyone that touches it.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]]: Cresselia has made it her mission to foil {{p|Darkrai}}'s plot of plunging everyone in the world into an endless nightmare. After healing {{p|Azurill}} of its nightmare, she joins the player's team as a guest in [[Dark Crater]]. After defeating Darkrai, Cresselia will offer to officially join the team.

==Trivia==
* When Cresselia is encountered, the music is the same as an ordinary [[wild Pokémon]]. She shares this trait with {{p|Shaymin}}. However, in Cresselia's case, this may be intended to catch the player off-guard.
* Cresselia can be seen as an [[legendary duo|opposite]] of {{p|Darkrai}}, as Darkrai causes nightmares, where Cresselia prevents them. Also, their islands are shaped and named opposite of each other, and their types are frequently known as opposites.
** Furthermore, in the TCG, one of the attacks on [[Darkrai_(Great_Encounters_3)|Darkrai 3/106 of Great Encounters]], Darkness Pursuit, has a base damage of 100 if Cresselia is the opposing Pokémon. Otherwise, it deals 50 damage.
* Cresselia is one of three legendary Pokémon that has a definite gender.
* Cresselia is the last {{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon in [[National Dex]] order as of [[Generation IV]].
* Cresselia's three main colors (pink, yellow and blue) are the same as the main colors of the [[Lake trio]].
** Due to this Cresselia may be the trio master while [[Arceus]] is the master of the dragon trio.
* Cresselia is the second Pokémon with information about it relating it to an aurora, the first being {{p|Deoxys}}.
** In Deoxys's case, it can project aurora-like light patterns, as shown in ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]'', while in Cresselia's case, it can release aurora-like particles from its tail, and can learn {{m|Aurora Beam}}.

===Origin===
Cresselia is based after a {{wp|swan}} with features of heavenly bodies such as a crescent moon-shaped head and rings like {{wp|Saturn}}'s around its body.
She is also the same as the {{wp|Sarimanok}}, a colorful Filipino being with the same trait as Cresselia.

====Name origin====
Her name is derived from {{wp|Lunar phase|crescent}}, referring to a {{wp|phase of the moon}}. The ''selia'' in her name may be derived from {{wp|Selene}}, the Greek goddess of the Moon.
