==Broad Terms==
General terms that can apply to a number of different Pokémon.
===Annoyer===
A Pokémon designed with the sole purpose of annoying the opponent and making it difficult for him/her to use a move. Moves for this purpose include {{m|Confuse Ray}}, {{m|Thunder Wave}}, {{m|Protect}}, and {{m|Attract}}. It should be noted that the use of Annoyers has fallen since the start of [[Generation III]], mostly due to the fact that they rely too much on luck.
Though two relatively common annoyers in 4th gen are {{p|Jirachi}} ({{a|Serene Grace}}, {{m|Iron Head}}, {{m|Thunder Wave}}) and {{p|Togekiss}} ({{a|Serene Grace}}, {{m|Air Slash}}, {{m|Thunder Wave}}) these pokemon are also known as paraflinchers.

===Baton Passer===
A moveset with {{m|Baton Pass}} and at least one stat-boosting move or {{m|Psych Up}}, {{m|Mean Look}} or {{m|Substitute}}. Designed to raise one or more stats and/or activate one or more of the above moves, then Baton Pass the effects to another Pokémon. Stat boosts are countered by a '''Hazer''' or '''Pseudo-Hazer'''. A good example of a Baton Passer is {{p|Ninjask}}, who gains one level of Speed after each turn due to its ability {{a|Speed Boost}}. It often abuses the move {{m|Protect}} and may use {{m|Swords Dance}} and/or Substitute too. Ninjask commonly carry substitute and leichi berry so that it can baton pass 4 speed boosts, a leichi berry boost, and possibly a few swords dances or a substitute. Baton Passers can counter Pseudo-Hazers by passing {{m|Ingrain}}, but that can only be done by a {{p|Smeargle}}. Though this only affects Pseudo-Hazers who use roar or whirlwind, other pseudo hazers, such as pokemon who use perish song are unaffected, though baton passing to a Mr.Mime who is not affected because of soundproof is not affected by this.

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

===Choice Bander/CBer===
A moveset with physical attacks, and the hold item {{DL|In-battle effect item|Choice Band}}. Requires good prediction to use and counter.

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

===Counter===
A Pokémon that is able to successfully switch into the opposing Pokémon and is subsequently able to defeat it after switching in. For example, {{p|Gliscor}} is a counter to {{p|Heracross}}, since it resists Heracross's strongest attacks, {{m|Megahorn}} and {{m|Close Combat}}, and can defeat it easily with the Flying-type attack, {{m|Aerial Ace}}.
===Decoy/Death Fodder===
Any Pokémon that is 'sacrificed' against a strong opponent. The aim is to weaken the opponent's Pokémon before the sacrificial Pokémon is knocked out, then switch to a stronger Pokémon, preferably one whose moveset has an advantage over the opponent. A Decoy/Death Fodder is often used to switch to a different Pokémon without causing damage to the Pokémon one wants to battle by sacrificing the Decoy/Death Fodder.

===DDer===
Any Pokémon that makes use of {{m|Dragon Dance}}. Usually fast physical sweepers like {{p|Kingdra}} or {{p|Salamence}}.

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

===Endureversal/Flailer===
A moveset designed to {{m|Endure}} down to one HP, then {{m|Reversal}} or {{m|Flail}} for massive damage, since Reversal and Flail have 200 base power at 1%-4% HP. The item held is often a [[Salac Berry]] or a [[Liechi Berry]], tying in with the previous strategy.

===Evasion clause===
The use of evasion boosting moves like {{m|Double Team}}, or {{m|Minimize}}, is forbidden under the Evasion Clause. Similar moves which instead decrease the opposing Pokémon's accuracy, such as {{m|Sand-Attack}}, {{m|Mud-Slap}}, {{m|Mirror Shot}}, {{m|Mud Bomb}}, and {{m|Acupressure}}, are more widely accepted.

===Glass Cannon===
A Pokémon that has extremely high offensive stats, which are contrasted with its appalling defensive stats and often insufficient Speed (e.g. {{p|Sharpedo}} or {{p|Rampardos}}). A Choice Scarf is often employed on such Pokemon to make up for their lack of good Speed, but other Choice items also see use.

===Hax===
Something that relies more on chance than reliability or strategy. Hax can be manipulated in many different ways, including the use of [[items]] such as [[Quick Claw]], [[Focus Band]], or [[Brightpowder]], the use of moves such as {{m|Fissure}} or {{m|Sheer Cold}}. Critical hits and extra effects of attacks, such as {{m|Flamethrower}} burning the foe, are often considered hax. though with an attack that is specifically used for its chance to do something (I.E. discharge/lava plume for 30% status) also if an ability is used to increase the chance of something (I.E. super luck for critical hits, serene grace) are also generally not considered hax because with those abilities, many of times, it is more likely to hit a crit(super luck) or get the status(serene grace) than not. A very common version of hax is parahax.

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

===HM slave===

{{main|HM Slave}}

An [[HM]] slave is a Pokémon mostly untrained for battle which is used for basic case of learning HMs and being the one to use them out of battle when needed. It is mostly kept in a PC box and not part of a general team. It is used as an extra Pokémon that learns HMs, so a [[Pokémon trainer|trainer]] doesn't have to teach HMs to his or her main battlers. It is generally only brought out of a PC box when the use of HMs are needed. Due to {{p|Bibarel}} being capable of learning 6 HMs, it is often (if not always) [[tiers|classified]] as the authentically perfect HM slave.
{{p|Tropius}} is also regarded as a good HM slave as it can learn 5 HMs, including {{m|Fly}}.

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

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

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

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

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

===[[Masuda method]]===
A technique used to hatch {{shiny2}} {{pkmn|egg}}s involving Pokémon originating from games of different languages.

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

===Mono-color===
A way to play using pokemon of only one colour. E.g. {{p|Gallade}}, {{p|Tyranitar}}, {{p|Cradily}}, [[Shiny]] {{p|Salamence}}, {{p|Politoed}} and {{p|Breloom}}.

===[[One-hit knockout move|OHKO moves]]===
These are moves that cause a one-hit knock out when they hit; their accuracy is accordingly low (30%). Namely:
*{{m|Sheer Cold}}
*{{m|Fissure}}
*{{m|Horn Drill}}
*{{m|Guillotine}}

In Standard rules, OHKO moves are forbidden, so these are rarely seen.

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

===Pokes===
Short form for {{Pokemon}}. Used in many forums.

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

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

===Priority Move===
A move that allows the user to attack first despite having a lower Speed stat. The priority moves are {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Mach Punch}}, {{m|Vacuum Wave}}, {{m|ExtremeSpeed}}, {{m|Aqua Jet}}, {{m|Bullet Punch}}, {{m|Ice Shard}}, and {{m|Sucker Punch}}.

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

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

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

===Sleep talker (Restalker/STalker)===
A moveset with {{M|Rest}} and {{M|Sleep Talk}}. It is used to maintain a Pokémon's (usually with good defenses) health with Rest, but allow it to attack in the meantime with Sleep Talk. It's not a perfect strategy, as there is the chance Sleep Talk will call Rest again, but it works often enough to see use. {{p|Milotic}} is an excellent example of a sleeptalker due to {{a|Marvel Scale}}.

===Species clause===
A rule whereby the use of more than one of the same Pokémon, or Pokémon in the same evolution chain, is forbidden. Pokémon that evolve from the same Pokémon but are not an evolution of each other are exempted. For example, the use of {{p|Gorebyss}} and {{p|Huntail}} is allowed, but the use of Gorebyss and {{p|Clamperl}} or Clamperl and Clamperl in one team - is not. An official clause, the various Battle Towers and Console connectivity games enforce this.

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

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

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

===Standard rules===
It refers to the rules used in [[Wi-Fi]] battles by most Competitive Battlers. The rules include: No Ubers, no hacks, no OHKO Moves, no Hax Items and also the Sleep.
Evasion and Species Clauses are optional now, as smogon is thinking about removing them completely from the standard rule list. Standard rules do NOT include these any more, to include these, they must be mentioned.

===Sweeper===
A moveset designed with the object of quickly knocking out, or "sweeping," an opponent's team. Specializes in mostly direct attacks with stat-boosting moves also common. It is characterized by high Speed and offensive stats while very often having poor defensive stats and HP. Comes in three variations - Physical, Special, and Mixed. (Physical sweepers use physical moves, Special sweepers use special moves, and Mixed sweepers use both.) mixed sweepers can also be used as wall breakers which are mixed sweepers whose attacks are specifically chosen to take down common walls, like close combat for blissey or fire blast for skarmory. Common counters are bulky Pokémon and priority moves.

===Tank===
A Pokémon that can take hits and still fight back. Often functions as a Wall/Sponge but different because while being hard to KO, it can still threaten the opponent offensively. Some common tanks are Bronzong and Suicune.

===Trapper===
A set designed with the purpose of trapping a Pokémon for one reason or another. Moves such as {{m|Mean Look}} and {{m|Spider Web}} are standard trapping moves but moves such as {{m|Wrap}} and {{m|Fire Spin}} are also used sometimes. Might be used in tandem with {{m|Toxic}} or {{m|Curse}} (Ghost variety) to sap the opponent's health or {{m|Perish Song}} for a guaranteed knockout. Certain abilities, such as {{a|Shadow Tag}}, {{a|Magnet Pull}} and {{a|Arena Trap}}, trap automatically.

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

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

===Type Coverage===
Type coverage referrs to combinations of attacks that are unresisted. Common combinations for coverage are boltbeam (only resisted by lanturn and magnezone) which is thunder bolt and ice beam, and ghost+fighting has perfect coverage, though this is not favourable because of the lack of reliable physical ghost attacks, or reliable fighting special attacks(though this can be solved somewhat by hidden power).

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

===Wall===
A Pokémon with a very high defensive stat. Used to block attacks of that kind (e.g. Physical Wall). Synonymous with '''Sponge'''.

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

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

===Boltbeam===
A combination of {{m|Thunderbolt}} and {{m|Ice Beam}} on the same set that is resisted only by {{p|Magnezone}}, {{a|Volt Absorb}} {{p|Lanturn}}, and {{p|Shedinja}}. May also be used for any combination of {{t|Electric}} and {{t|Ice}} moves, such as {{m|Thunderbolt}} and HP Ice.

===CalmCune===
A {{p|Suicune}} with {{m|Calm Mind}}. Often it uses {{m|Rest}} also. A very powerful and over-used Pokémon due to Suicune's two weaknesses being special types, and as a result its effectiveness has been reduced with the Gen IV Attack/Special split. Some counters include a Hazer or PHazer, a strong physical Electric or Grass attack and the move {{m|Encore}}.

===Celetran===
A combination of {{p|celebi}} and {{p|heatran}} used in the same team, this works because celebi covers all of heatran's weaknesses and heatran covers all of celebi's weaknesses. Both of these pokemon have mixed wall stats, they can take on both physical and special hits.

There are other combinations like this, such as latias and a steel type is a combination that resists every type in the game, though these combinations are not as well known.

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

===Cleric===
A moveset that includes either {{m|Heal Bell}} or {{m|Aromatherapy}}. A good example of a Cleric is {{p|Blissey}}.

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

===F.E.A.R.===

{{main|F.E.A.R}}

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

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

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

===MixApe===
A commonly used mixed sweeper moveset for {{p|Infernape}} that is extremely useful for wall-breaking, especially Skarmbliss. The set consists of a combination of the moves {{m|Flamethrower}}/{{m|Fire Blast}}, {{m|Close Combat}}, {{m|Grass Knot}}, {{m|ThunderPunch}}, HP Ice and {{m|Nasty Plot}}. It usually holds the item Life Orb.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

===Wondertomb/Wondereye===
A hacked {{p|Spiritomb}} or {{p|Sableye}} with the ability {{a|Wonder Guard}}. Since {{p|Spiritomb}} and {{p|Sableye}} have no weaknesses, they can only be damaged by weather conditions, status problems, entry hazards such as {{m|Spikes}} or {{m|Stealth Rock}}, recoil moves and, curiously, the move {{m|Fire Fang}}. Note that the ability {{a|Mold Breaker}} will cancel out the Wonder Guard ability. Also, If the opponent has {{a|Scrappy}}, or uses {{m|Odor Sleuth}} or {{m|Foresight}} a Wondereye or Wondertomb can be hit with a super effective Fighting-type attack. {{m|Gastro Acid}} is a move that will cancel this ability as well. Also, {{m|Future Sight}} and {{m|Doom Desire}} will strike through Wonder Guard as well, and do not take type into account so Future Sight will still damage the partial dark type Spiritomb and Sableye. These instances prove that Wondereyes and Wondertombs are not invincible.

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

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

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

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

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

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

====NFE====
Not an actual tier, but a term used to describe Pokémon that are not fully evolved, and thus should not be used competitively until they evolve. There are some NFEs that can viably be used competitively, namely:
* {{p|Pikachu}} with [[Light Ball]]
* {{p|Magneton}}
* {{p|Scyther}}
* {{p|Porygon2}}
* {{p|Vigoroth}}
* {{p|Trapinch}} with {{a|Arena Trap}}
* {{p|Clamperl}} with [[DeepSeaTooth]]

Some NFEs do exactly the same as their evolution. These may also be used competitively, but only in lower [[tier]]s than their evolution. For example, {{p|Chansey}} can be used in UU because its evolution {{p|Blissey}} is in OU, which makes it banned from UU. Another example of this is {{p|Munchlax}} in NU. there are some pokemon that work in OU that are NFEs, such as porygon 2, because it fits in differently from its evolution, porygon z.

==Broad Terms==
General terms that can apply to a number of different Pokémon.
===Annoyer===
A Pokémon designed with the sole purpose of annoying the opponent and making it difficult for him/her to use a move. Moves for this purpose include {{m|Confuse Ray}}, {{m|Thunder Wave}}, {{m|Protect}}, and {{m|Attract}}. It should be noted that the use of Annoyers has fallen since the start of [[Generation III]], mostly due to the fact that they rely too much on luck.
Though two relatively common annoyers in 4th gen are {{p|Jirachi}} ({{a|Serene Grace}}, {{m|Iron Head}}, {{m|Thunder Wave}}) and {{p|Togekiss}} ({{a|Serene Grace}}, {{m|Air Slash}}, {{m|Thunder Wave}}) these pokemon are also known as paraflinchers.

===Baton Passer===
A moveset with {{m|Baton Pass}} and at least one stat-boosting move or {{m|Psych Up}}, {{m|Mean Look}} or {{m|Substitute}}. Designed to raise one or more stats and/or activate one or more of the above moves, then Baton Pass the effects to another Pokémon. Stat boosts are countered by a '''Hazer''' or '''Pseudo-Hazer'''. A good example of a Baton Passer is {{p|Ninjask}}, who gains one level of Speed after each turn due to its ability {{a|Speed Boost}}. It often abuses the move {{m|Protect}} and may use {{m|Swords Dance}} and/or Substitute too. Ninjask commonly carry substitute and leichi berry so that it can baton pass 4 speed boosts, a leichi berry boost, and possibly a few swords dances or a substitute. Baton Passers can counter Pseudo-Hazers by passing {{m|Ingrain}}, but that can only be done by a {{p|Smeargle}}. Though this only affects Pseudo-Hazers who use roar or whirlwind, other pseudo hazers, such as pokemon who use perish song are unaffected, though baton passing to a Mr.Mime who is not affected because of soundproof is not affected by this.

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

===Choice Bander/CBer===
A moveset with physical attacks, and the hold item {{DL|In-battle effect item|Choice Band}}. Requires good prediction to use and counter.

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

===Counter===
A Pokémon that is able to successfully switch into the opposing Pokémon and is subsequently able to defeat it after switching in. For example, {{p|Gliscor}} is a counter to {{p|Heracross}}, since it resists Heracross's strongest attacks, {{m|Megahorn}} and {{m|Close Combat}}, and can defeat it easily with the Flying-type attack, {{m|Aerial Ace}}.
===Decoy/Death Fodder===
Any Pokémon that is 'sacrificed' against a strong opponent. The aim is to weaken the opponent's Pokémon before the sacrificial Pokémon is knocked out, then switch to a stronger Pokémon, preferably one whose moveset has an advantage over the opponent. A Decoy/Death Fodder is often used to switch to a different Pokémon without causing damage to the Pokémon one wants to battle by sacrificing the Decoy/Death Fodder.

===DDer===
Any Pokémon that makes use of {{m|Dragon Dance}}. Usually fast physical sweepers like {{p|Kingdra}} or {{p|Salamence}}.

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

===Endureversal/Flailer===
A moveset designed to {{m|Endure}} down to one HP, then {{m|Reversal}} or {{m|Flail}} for massive damage, since Reversal and Flail have 200 base power at 1%-4% HP. The item held is often a [[Salac Berry]] or a [[Liechi Berry]], tying in with the previous strategy.

===Evasion clause===
The use of evasion boosting moves like {{m|Double Team}}, or {{m|Minimize}}, is forbidden under the Evasion Clause. Similar moves which instead decrease the opposing Pokémon's accuracy, such as {{m|Sand-Attack}}, {{m|Mud-Slap}}, {{m|Mirror Shot}}, {{m|Mud Bomb}}, and {{m|Acupressure}}, are more widely accepted.

===Glass Cannon===
A Pokémon that has extremely high offensive stats, which are contrasted with its appalling defensive stats and often insufficient Speed (e.g. {{p|Sharpedo}} or {{p|Rampardos}}). A Choice Scarf is often employed on such Pokemon to make up for their lack of good Speed, but other Choice items also see use.

===Hax===
Something that relies more on chance than reliability or strategy. Hax can be manipulated in many different ways, including the use of [[items]] such as [[Quick Claw]], [[Focus Band]], or [[Brightpowder]], the use of moves such as {{m|Fissure}} or {{m|Sheer Cold}}. Critical hits and extra effects of attacks, such as {{m|Flamethrower}} burning the foe, are often considered hax. though with an attack that is specifically used for its chance to do something (I.E. discharge/lava plume for 30% status) also if an ability is used to increase the chance of something (I.E. super luck for critical hits, serene grace) are also generally not considered hax because with those abilities, many of times, it is more likely to hit a crit(super luck) or get the status(serene grace) than not. A very common version of hax is parahax.

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

===HM slave===

{{main|HM Slave}}

An [[HM]] slave is a Pokémon mostly untrained for battle which is used for basic case of learning HMs and being the one to use them out of battle when needed. It is mostly kept in a PC box and not part of a general team. It is used as an extra Pokémon that learns HMs, so a [[Pokémon trainer|trainer]] doesn't have to teach HMs to his or her main battlers. It is generally only brought out of a PC box when the use of HMs are needed. Due to {{p|Bibarel}} being capable of learning 6 HMs, it is often (if not always) [[tiers|classified]] as the authentically perfect HM slave.
{{p|Tropius}} is also regarded as a good HM slave as it can learn 5 HMs, including {{m|Fly}}.

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

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

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

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

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

===[[Masuda method]]===
A technique used to hatch {{shiny2}} {{pkmn|egg}}s involving Pokémon originating from games of different languages.

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

===Mono-color===
A way to play using pokemon of only one colour. E.g. {{p|Gallade}}, {{p|Tyranitar}}, {{p|Cradily}}, [[Shiny]] {{p|Salamence}}, {{p|Politoed}} and {{p|Breloom}}.

===[[One-hit knockout move|OHKO moves]]===
These are moves that cause a one-hit knock out when they hit; their accuracy is accordingly low (30%). Namely:
*{{m|Sheer Cold}}
*{{m|Fissure}}
*{{m|Horn Drill}}
*{{m|Guillotine}}

In Standard rules, OHKO moves are forbidden, so these are rarely seen.

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

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

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

===Priority Move===
A move that allows the user to attack first despite having a lower Speed stat. The priority moves are {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Mach Punch}}, {{m|Vacuum Wave}}, {{m|ExtremeSpeed}}, {{m|Aqua Jet}}, {{m|Bullet Punch}}, {{m|Ice Shard}}, and {{m|Sucker Punch}}.

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

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

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

===Sleep talker (Restalker/STalker)===
A moveset with {{M|Rest}} and {{M|Sleep Talk}}. It is used to maintain a Pokémon's (usually with good defenses) health with Rest, but allow it to attack in the meantime with Sleep Talk. It's not a perfect strategy, as there is the chance Sleep Talk will call Rest again, but it works often enough to see use. {{p|Milotic}} is an excellent example of a sleeptalker due to {{a|Marvel Scale}}.

===Species clause===
A rule whereby the use of more than one of the same Pokémon, or Pokémon in the same evolution chain, is forbidden. Pokémon that evolve from the same Pokémon but are not an evolution of each other are exempted. For example, the use of {{p|Gorebyss}} and {{p|Huntail}} is allowed, but the use of Gorebyss and {{p|Clamperl}} or Clamperl and Clamperl in one team - is not. An official clause, the various Battle Towers and Console connectivity games enforce this.

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

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

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

===Standard rules===
It refers to the rules used in [[Wi-Fi]] battles by most Competitive Battlers. The rules include: No Ubers, no hacks, no OHKO Moves, no Hax Items and also the Sleep.
Evasion and Species Clauses are optional now, as smogon is thinking about removing them completely from the standard rule list. Standard rules do NOT include these any more, to include these, they must be mentioned.

===Sweeper===
A moveset designed with the object of quickly knocking out, or "sweeping," an opponent's team. Specializes in mostly direct attacks with stat-boosting moves also common. It is characterized by high Speed and offensive stats while very often having poor defensive stats and HP. Comes in three variations - Physical, Special, and Mixed. (Physical sweepers use physical moves, Special sweepers use special moves, and Mixed sweepers use both.) mixed sweepers can also be used as wall breakers which are mixed sweepers whose attacks are specifically chosen to take down common walls, like close combat for blissey or fire blast for skarmory. Common counters are bulky Pokémon and priority moves.

===Tank===
A Pokémon that can take hits and still fight back. Often functions as a Wall/Sponge but different because while being hard to KO, it can still threaten the opponent offensively. Some common tanks are Bronzong and Suicune.

===Trapper===
A set designed with the purpose of trapping a Pokémon for one reason or another. Moves such as {{m|Mean Look}} and {{m|Spider Web}} are standard trapping moves but moves such as {{m|Wrap}} and {{m|Fire Spin}} are also used sometimes. Might be used in tandem with {{m|Toxic}} or {{m|Curse}} (Ghost variety) to sap the opponent's health or {{m|Perish Song}} for a guaranteed knockout. Certain abilities, such as {{a|Shadow Tag}}, {{a|Magnet Pull}} and {{a|Arena Trap}}, trap automatically.

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

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

===Type Coverage===
Type coverage referrs to combinations of attacks that are unresisted. Common combinations for coverage are boltbeam (only resisted by lanturn and magnezone) which is thunder bolt and ice beam, and ghost+fighting has perfect coverage, though this is not favourable because of the lack of reliable physical ghost attacks, or reliable fighting special attacks(though this can be solved somewhat by hidden power).

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

===Wall===
A Pokémon with a very high defensive stat. Used to block attacks of that kind (e.g. Physical Wall). Synonymous with '''Sponge'''.

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

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

===Boltbeam===
A combination of {{m|Thunderbolt}} and {{m|Ice Beam}} on the same set that is resisted only by {{p|Magnezone}}, {{a|Volt Absorb}} {{p|Lanturn}}, and {{p|Shedinja}}. May also be used for any combination of {{t|Electric}} and {{t|Ice}} moves, such as {{m|Thunderbolt}} and HP Ice.

===CalmCune===
A {{p|Suicune}} with {{m|Calm Mind}}. Often it uses {{m|Rest}} also. A very powerful and over-used Pokémon due to Suicune's two weaknesses being special types, and as a result its effectiveness has been reduced with the Gen IV Attack/Special split. Some counters include a Hazer or PHazer, a strong physical Electric or Grass attack and the move {{m|Encore}}.

===Celetran===
A combination of {{p|celebi}} and {{p|heatran}} used in the same team, this works because celebi covers all of heatran's weaknesses and heatran covers all of celebi's weaknesses. Both of these pokemon have mixed wall stats, they can take on both physical and special hits.

There are other combinations like this, such as latias and a steel type is a combination that resists every type in the game, though these combinations are not as well known.

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

===Cleric===
A moveset that includes either {{m|Heal Bell}} or {{m|Aromatherapy}}. A good example of a Cleric is {{p|Blissey}}.

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

===F.E.A.R.===

{{main|F.E.A.R}}

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

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

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

===MixApe===
A commonly used mixed sweeper moveset for {{p|Infernape}} that is extremely useful for wall-breaking, especially Skarmbliss. The set consists of a combination of the moves {{m|Flamethrower}}/{{m|Fire Blast}}, {{m|Close Combat}}, {{m|Grass Knot}}, {{m|ThunderPunch}}, HP Ice and {{m|Nasty Plot}}. It usually holds the item Life Orb.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

===Wondertomb/Wondereye===
A hacked {{p|Spiritomb}} or {{p|Sableye}} with the ability {{a|Wonder Guard}}. Since {{p|Spiritomb}} and {{p|Sableye}} have no weaknesses, they can only be damaged by weather conditions, status problems, entry hazards such as {{m|Spikes}} or {{m|Stealth Rock}}, recoil moves and, curiously, the move {{m|Fire Fang}}. Note that the ability {{a|Mold Breaker}} will cancel out the Wonder Guard ability. Also, If the opponent has {{a|Scrappy}}, or uses {{m|Odor Sleuth}} or {{m|Foresight}} a Wondereye or Wondertomb can be hit with a super effective Fighting-type attack. {{m|Gastro Acid}} is a move that will cancel this ability as well. Also, {{m|Future Sight}} and {{m|Doom Desire}} will strike through Wonder Guard as well, and do not take type into account so Future Sight will still damage the partial dark type Spiritomb and Sableye. These instances prove that Wondereyes and Wondertombs are not invincible.

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

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

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

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

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

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

====NFE====
Not an actual tier, but a term used to describe Pokémon that are not fully evolved, and thus should not be used competitively until they evolve. There are some NFEs that can viably be used competitively, namely:
* {{p|Pikachu}} with [[Light Ball]]
* {{p|Magneton}}
* {{p|Scyther}}
* {{p|Porygon2}}
* {{p|Vigoroth}}
* {{p|Trapinch}} with {{a|Arena Trap}}
* {{p|Clamperl}} with [[DeepSeaTooth]]

Some NFEs do exactly the same as their evolution. These may also be used competitively, but only in lower [[tier]]s than their evolution. For example, {{p|Chansey}} can be used in UU because its evolution {{p|Blissey}} is in OU, which makes it banned from UU. Another example of this is {{p|Munchlax}} in NU. there are some pokemon that work in OU that are NFEs, such as porygon 2, because it fits in differently from its evolution, porygon z.

==Broad Terms==
General terms that can apply to a number of different Pokémon.
===Annoyer===
A Pokémon designed with the sole purpose of annoying the opponent and making it difficult for him/her to use a move. Moves for this purpose include {{m|Confuse Ray}}, {{m|Thunder Wave}}, {{m|Protect}}, and {{m|Attract}}. It should be noted that the use of Annoyers has fallen since the start of [[Generation III]], mostly due to the fact that they rely too much on luck.
Though two relatively common annoyers in 4th gen are {{p|Jirachi}} ({{a|Serene Grace}}, {{m|Iron Head}}, {{m|Thunder Wave}}) and {{p|Togekiss}} ({{a|Serene Grace}}, {{m|Air Slash}}, {{m|Thunder Wave}}) these pokemon are also known as paraflinchers.

===Baton Passer===
A moveset with {{m|Baton Pass}} and at least one stat-boosting move or {{m|Psych Up}}, {{m|Mean Look}} or {{m|Substitute}}. Designed to raise one or more stats and/or activate one or more of the above moves, then Baton Pass the effects to another Pokémon. Stat boosts are countered by a '''Hazer''' or '''Pseudo-Hazer'''. A good example of a Baton Passer is {{p|Ninjask}}, who gains one level of Speed after each turn due to its ability {{a|Speed Boost}}. It often abuses the move {{m|Protect}} and may use {{m|Swords Dance}} and/or Substitute too. Ninjask commonly carry substitute and leichi berry so that it can baton pass 4 speed boosts, a leichi berry boost, and possibly a few swords dances or a substitute. Baton Passers can counter Pseudo-Hazers by passing {{m|Ingrain}}, but that can only be done by a {{p|Smeargle}}. Though this only affects Pseudo-Hazers who use roar or whirlwind, other pseudo hazers, such as pokemon who use perish song are unaffected, though baton passing to a Mr.Mime who is not affected because of soundproof is not affected by this.

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

===Choice Bander/CBer===
A moveset with physical attacks, and the hold item {{DL|In-battle effect item|Choice Band}}. Requires good prediction to use and counter.

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

===Counter===
A Pokémon that is able to successfully switch into the opposing Pokémon and is subsequently able to defeat it after switching in. For example, {{p|Gliscor}} is a counter to {{p|Heracross}}, since it resists Heracross's strongest attacks, {{m|Megahorn}} and {{m|Close Combat}}, and can defeat it easily with the Flying-type attack, {{m|Aerial Ace}}.
===Decoy/Death Fodder===
Any Pokémon that is 'sacrificed' against a strong opponent. The aim is to weaken the opponent's Pokémon before the sacrificial Pokémon is knocked out, then switch to a stronger Pokémon, preferably one whose moveset has an advantage over the opponent. A Decoy/Death Fodder is often used to switch to a different Pokémon without causing damage to the Pokémon one wants to battle by sacrificing the Decoy/Death Fodder.

===DDer===
Any Pokémon that makes use of {{m|Dragon Dance}}. Usually fast physical sweepers like {{p|Kingdra}} or {{p|Salamence}}.

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

===Endureversal/Flailer===
A moveset designed to {{m|Endure}} down to one HP, then {{m|Reversal}} or {{m|Flail}} for massive damage, since Reversal and Flail have 200 base power at 1%-4% HP. The item held is often a [[Salac Berry]] or a [[Liechi Berry]], tying in with the previous strategy.

===Evasion clause===
The use of evasion boosting moves like {{m|Double Team}}, or {{m|Minimize}}, is forbidden under the Evasion Clause. Similar moves which instead decrease the opposing Pokémon's accuracy, such as {{m|Sand-Attack}}, {{m|Mud-Slap}}, {{m|Mirror Shot}}, {{m|Mud Bomb}}, and {{m|Acupressure}}, are more widely accepted.

===Glass Cannon===
A Pokémon that has extremely high offensive stats, which are contrasted with its appalling defensive stats and often insufficient Speed (e.g. {{p|Sharpedo}} or {{p|Rampardos}}). A Choice Scarf is often employed on such Pokemon to make up for their lack of good Speed, but other Choice items also see use.

===Hax===
Something that relies more on chance than reliability or strategy. Hax can be manipulated in many different ways, including the use of [[items]] such as [[Quick Claw]], [[Focus Band]], or [[Brightpowder]], the use of moves such as {{m|Fissure}} or {{m|Sheer Cold}}. Critical hits and extra effects of attacks, such as {{m|Flamethrower}} burning the foe, are often considered hax. though with an attack that is specifically used for its chance to do something (I.E. discharge/lava plume for 30% status) also if an ability is used to increase the chance of something (I.E. super luck for critical hits, serene grace) are also generally not considered hax because with those abilities, many of times, it is more likely to hit a crit(super luck) or get the status(serene grace) than not. A very common version of hax is parahax.

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

===HM slave===

{{main|HM Slave}}

An [[HM]] slave is a Pokémon mostly untrained for battle which is used for basic case of learning HMs and being the one to use them out of battle when needed. It is mostly kept in a PC box and not part of a general team. It is used as an extra Pokémon that learns HMs, so a [[Pokémon trainer|trainer]] doesn't have to teach HMs to his or her main battlers. It is generally only brought out of a PC box when the use of HMs are needed. Due to {{p|Bibarel}} being capable of learning 6 HMs, it is often (if not always) [[tiers|classified]] as the authentically perfect HM slave.
{{p|Tropius}} is also regarded as a good HM slave as it can learn 5 HMs, including {{m|Fly}}.

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

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

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

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

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

===[[Masuda method]]===
A technique used to hatch {{shiny2}} {{pkmn|egg}}s involving Pokémon originating from games of different languages.

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

===Mono-color===
A way to play using pokemon of only one colour. E.g. {{p|Gallade}}, {{p|Tyranitar}}, {{p|Cradily}}, [[Shiny]] {{p|Salamence}}, {{p|Politoed}} and {{p|Breloom}}.

===[[One-hit knockout move|OHKO moves]]===
These are moves that cause a one-hit knock out when they hit; their accuracy is accordingly low (30%). Namely:
*{{m|Sheer Cold}}
*{{m|Fissure}}
*{{m|Horn Drill}}
*{{m|Guillotine}}

In Standard rules, OHKO moves are forbidden, so these are rarely seen.

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

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

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

===Priority Move===
A move that allows the user to attack first despite having a lower Speed stat. The priority moves are {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Mach Punch}}, {{m|Vacuum Wave}}, {{m|ExtremeSpeed}}, {{m|Aqua Jet}}, {{m|Bullet Punch}}, {{m|Ice Shard}}, and {{m|Sucker Punch}}.

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

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

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

===Sleep talker (Restalker/STalker)===
A moveset with {{M|Rest}} and {{M|Sleep Talk}}. It is used to maintain a Pokémon's (usually with good defenses) health with Rest, but allow it to attack in the meantime with Sleep Talk. It's not a perfect strategy, as there is the chance Sleep Talk will call Rest again, but it works often enough to see use. {{p|Milotic}} is an excellent example of a sleeptalker due to {{a|Marvel Scale}}.

===Species clause===
A rule whereby the use of more than one of the same Pokémon, or Pokémon in the same evolution chain, is forbidden. Pokémon that evolve from the same Pokémon but are not an evolution of each other are exempted. For example, the use of {{p|Gorebyss}} and {{p|Huntail}} is allowed, but the use of Gorebyss and {{p|Clamperl}} or Clamperl and Clamperl in one team - is not. An official clause, the various Battle Towers and Console connectivity games enforce this.

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

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

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

===Standard rules===
It refers to the rules used in [[Wi-Fi]] battles by most Competitive Battlers. The rules include: No Ubers, no hacks, no OHKO Moves, no Hax Items and also the Sleep.
Evasion and Species Clauses are optional now, as smogon is thinking about removing them completely from the standard rule list. Standard rules do NOT include these any more, to include these, they must be mentioned.

===Sweeper===
A moveset designed with the object of quickly knocking out, or "sweeping," an opponent's team. Specializes in mostly direct attacks with stat-boosting moves also common. It is characterized by high Speed and offensive stats while very often having poor defensive stats and HP. Comes in three variations - Physical, Special, and Mixed. (Physical sweepers use physical moves, Special sweepers use special moves, and Mixed sweepers use both.) mixed sweepers can also be used as wall breakers which are mixed sweepers whose attacks are specifically chosen to take down common walls, like close combat for blissey or fire blast for skarmory. Common counters are bulky Pokémon and priority moves.

===Tank===
A Pokémon that can take hits and still fight back. Often functions as a Wall/Sponge but different because while being hard to KO, it can still threaten the opponent offensively. Some common tanks are Bronzong and Suicune.

===Trapper===
A set designed with the purpose of trapping a Pokémon for one reason or another. Moves such as {{m|Mean Look}} and {{m|Spider Web}} are standard trapping moves but moves such as {{m|Wrap}} and {{m|Fire Spin}} are also used sometimes. Might be used in tandem with {{m|Toxic}} or {{m|Curse}} (Ghost variety) to sap the opponent's health or {{m|Perish Song}} for a guaranteed knockout. Certain abilities, such as {{a|Shadow Tag}}, {{a|Magnet Pull}} and {{a|Arena Trap}}, trap automatically.

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

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

===Type Coverage===
Type coverage referrs to combinations of attacks that are unresisted. Common combinations for coverage are boltbeam (only resisted by lanturn and magnezone) which is thunder bolt and ice beam, and ghost+fighting has perfect coverage, though this is not favourable because of the lack of reliable physical ghost attacks, or reliable fighting special attacks(though this can be solved somewhat by hidden power).

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

===Wall===
A Pokémon with a very high defensive stat. Used to block attacks of that kind (e.g. Physical Wall). Synonymous with '''Sponge'''.

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

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

===Boltbeam===
A combination of {{m|Thunderbolt}} and {{m|Ice Beam}} on the same set that is resisted only by {{p|Magnezone}}, {{a|Volt Absorb}} {{p|Lanturn}}, and {{p|Shedinja}}. May also be used for any combination of {{t|Electric}} and {{t|Ice}} moves, such as {{m|Thunderbolt}} and HP Ice.

===CalmCune===
A {{p|Suicune}} with {{m|Calm Mind}}. Often it uses {{m|Rest}} also. A very powerful and over-used Pokémon due to Suicune's two weaknesses being special types, and as a result its effectiveness has been reduced with the Gen IV Attack/Special split. Some counters include a Hazer or PHazer, a strong physical Electric or Grass attack and the move {{m|Encore}}.

===Celetran===
A combination of {{p|celebi}} and {{p|heatran}} used in the same team, this works because celebi covers all of heatran's weaknesses and heatran covers all of celebi's weaknesses. Both of these pokemon have mixed wall stats, they can take on both physical and special hits.

There are other combinations like this, such as latias and a steel type is a combination that resists every type in the game, though these combinations are not as well known.

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

===Cleric===
A moveset that includes either {{m|Heal Bell}} or {{m|Aromatherapy}}. A good example of a Cleric is {{p|Blissey}}.

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

===F.E.A.R.===

{{main|F.E.A.R}}

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

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

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

===MixApe===
A commonly used mixed sweeper moveset for {{p|Infernape}} that is extremely useful for wall-breaking, especially Skarmbliss. The set consists of a combination of the moves {{m|Flamethrower}}/{{m|Fire Blast}}, {{m|Close Combat}}, {{m|Grass Knot}}, {{m|ThunderPunch}}, HP Ice and {{m|Nasty Plot}}. It usually holds the item Life Orb.

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

===RNG===
An abbreviation for Random Number Generator. Players often manipulate the RNG to gain increased chances of catching [[shiny Pokémon]].

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

===Wondertomb/Wondereye===
A hacked {{p|Spiritomb}} or {{p|Sableye}} with the ability {{a|Wonder Guard}}. Since {{p|Spiritomb}} and {{p|Sableye}} have no weaknesses, they can only be damaged by weather conditions, status problems, entry hazards such as {{m|Spikes}} or {{m|Stealth Rock}}, recoil moves and, curiously, the move {{m|Fire Fang}}. Note that the ability {{a|Mold Breaker}} will cancel out the Wonder Guard ability. Also, If the opponent has {{a|Scrappy}}, or uses {{m|Odor Sleuth}} or {{m|Foresight}} a Wondereye or Wondertomb can be hit with a super effective Fighting-type attack. {{m|Gastro Acid}} is a move that will cancel this ability as well. Also, {{m|Future Sight}} and {{m|Doom Desire}} will strike through Wonder Guard as well, and do not take type into account so Future Sight will still damage the partial dark type Spiritomb and Sableye. These instances prove that Wondereyes and Wondertombs are not invincible.

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

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

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

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

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

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

====NFE====
Not an actual tier, but a term used to describe Pokémon that are not fully evolved, and thus should not be used competitively until they evolve. There are some NFEs that can viably be used competitively, namely:
* {{p|Pikachu}} with [[Light Ball]]
* {{p|Magneton}}
* {{p|Scyther}}
* {{p|Porygon2}}
* {{p|Vigoroth}}
* {{p|Trapinch}} with {{a|Arena Trap}}
* {{p|Clamperl}} with [[DeepSeaTooth]]

Some NFEs do exactly the same as their evolution. These may also be used competitively, but only in lower [[tier]]s than their evolution. For example, {{p|Chansey}} can be used in UU because its evolution {{p|Blissey}} is in OU, which makes it banned from UU. Another example of this is {{p|Munchlax}} in NU. there are some pokemon that work in OU that are NFEs, such as porygon 2, because it fits in differently from its evolution, porygon z.

==Broad Terms==
General terms that can apply to a number of different Pokémon.
===Annoyer===
A Pokémon designed with the sole purpose of annoying the opponent and making it difficult for him/her to use a move. Moves for this purpose include {{m|Confuse Ray}}, {{m|Thunder Wave}}, {{m|Protect}}, and {{m|Attract}}. It should be noted that the use of Annoyers has fallen since the start of [[Generation III]], mostly due to the fact that they rely too much on luck.
Though two relatively common annoyers in 4th gen are {{p|Jirachi}} ({{a|Serene Grace}}, {{m|Iron Head}}, {{m|Thunder Wave}}) and {{p|Togekiss}} ({{a|Serene Grace}}, {{m|Air Slash}}, {{m|Thunder Wave}}) these pokemon are also known as paraflinchers.

===Baton Passer===
A moveset with {{m|Baton Pass}} and at least one stat-boosting move or {{m|Psych Up}}, {{m|Mean Look}} or {{m|Substitute}}. Designed to raise one or more stats and/or activate one or more of the above moves, then Baton Pass the effects to another Pokémon. Stat boosts are countered by a '''Hazer''' or '''Pseudo-Hazer'''. A good example of a Baton Passer is {{p|Ninjask}}, who gains one level of Speed after each turn due to its ability {{a|Speed Boost}}. It often abuses the move {{m|Protect}} and may use {{m|Swords Dance}} and/or Substitute too. Ninjask commonly carry substitute and leichi berry so that it can baton pass 4 speed boosts, a leichi berry boost, and possibly a few swords dances or a substitute. Baton Passers can counter Pseudo-Hazers by passing {{m|Ingrain}}, but that can only be done by a {{p|Smeargle}}. Though this only affects Pseudo-Hazers who use roar or whirlwind, other pseudo hazers, such as pokemon who use perish song are unaffected, though baton passing to a Mr.Mime who is not affected because of soundproof is not affected by this.

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

===Choice Bander/CBer===
A moveset with physical attacks, and the hold item {{DL|In-battle effect item|Choice Band}}. Requires good prediction to use and counter.

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

===Counter===
A Pokémon that is able to successfully switch into the opposing Pokémon and is subsequently able to defeat it after switching in. For example, {{p|Gliscor}} is a counter to {{p|Heracross}}, since it resists Heracross's strongest attacks, {{m|Megahorn}} and {{m|Close Combat}}, and can defeat it easily with the Flying-type attack, {{m|Aerial Ace}}.
===Decoy/Death Fodder===
Any Pokémon that is 'sacrificed' against a strong opponent. The aim is to weaken the opponent's Pokémon before the sacrificial Pokémon is knocked out, then switch to a stronger Pokémon, preferably one whose moveset has an advantage over the opponent. A Decoy/Death Fodder is often used to switch to a different Pokémon without causing damage to the Pokémon one wants to battle by sacrificing the Decoy/Death Fodder.

===DDer===
Any Pokémon that makes use of {{m|Dragon Dance}}. Usually fast physical sweepers like {{p|Kingdra}} or {{p|Salamence}}.

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

===Endureversal/Flailer===
A moveset designed to {{m|Endure}} down to one HP, then {{m|Reversal}} or {{m|Flail}} for massive damage, since Reversal and Flail have 200 base power at 1%-4% HP. The item held is often a [[Salac Berry]] or a [[Liechi Berry]], tying in with the previous strategy.

===Evasion clause===
The use of evasion boosting moves like {{m|Double Team}}, or {{m|Minimize}}, is forbidden under the Evasion Clause. Similar moves which instead decrease the opposing Pokémon's accuracy, such as {{m|Sand-Attack}}, {{m|Mud-Slap}}, {{m|Mirror Shot}}, {{m|Mud Bomb}}, and {{m|Acupressure}}, are more widely accepted.

===Glass Cannon===
A Pokémon that has extremely high offensive stats, which are contrasted with its appalling defensive stats and often insufficient Speed (e.g. {{p|Sharpedo}} or {{p|Rampardos}}). A Choice Scarf is often employed on such Pokemon to make up for their lack of good Speed, but other Choice items also see use.

===Hax===
Something that relies more on chance than reliability or strategy. Hax can be manipulated in many different ways, including the use of [[items]] such as [[Quick Claw]], [[Focus Band]], or [[Brightpowder]], the use of moves such as {{m|Fissure}} or {{m|Sheer Cold}}. Critical hits and extra effects of attacks, such as {{m|Flamethrower}} burning the foe, are often considered hax. though with an attack that is specifically used for its chance to do something (I.E. discharge/lava plume for 30% status) also if an ability is used to increase the chance of something (I.E. super luck for critical hits, serene grace) are also generally not considered hax because with those abilities, many of times, it is more likely to hit a crit(super luck) or get the status(serene grace) than not. A very common version of hax is parahax.

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

===HM slave===

{{main|HM Slave}}

An [[HM]] slave is a Pokémon mostly untrained for battle which is used for basic case of learning HMs and being the one to use them out of battle when needed. It is mostly kept in a PC box and not part of a general team. It is used as an extra Pokémon that learns HMs, so a [[Pokémon trainer|trainer]] doesn't have to teach HMs to his or her main battlers. It is generally only brought out of a PC box when the use of HMs are needed. Due to {{p|Bibarel}} being capable of learning 6 HMs, it is often (if not always) [[tiers|classified]] as the authentically perfect HM slave.
{{p|Tropius}} is also regarded as a good HM slave as it can learn 5 HMs, including {{m|Fly}}.

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

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

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

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

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

===[[Masuda method]]===
A technique used to hatch {{shiny2}} {{pkmn|egg}}s involving Pokémon originating from games of different languages.

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

===[[One-hit knockout move|OHKO moves]]===
These are moves that cause a one-hit knock out when they hit; their accuracy is accordingly low (30%). Namely:
*{{m|Sheer Cold}}
*{{m|Fissure}}
*{{m|Horn Drill}}
*{{m|Guillotine}}

In Standard rules, OHKO moves are forbidden, so these are rarely seen.

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

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

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

===Priority Move===
A move that allows the user to attack first despite having a lower Speed stat. The priority moves are {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Mach Punch}}, {{m|Vacuum Wave}}, {{m|ExtremeSpeed}}, {{m|Aqua Jet}}, {{m|Bullet Punch}}, {{m|Ice Shard}}, and {{m|Sucker Punch}}.

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

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

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

===Sleep talker (Restalker/STalker)===
A moveset with {{M|Rest}} and {{M|Sleep Talk}}. It is used to maintain a Pokémon's (usually with good defenses) health with Rest, but allow it to attack in the meantime with Sleep Talk. It's not a perfect strategy, as there is the chance Sleep Talk will call Rest again, but it works often enough to see use. {{p|Milotic}} is an excellent example of a sleeptalker due to {{a|Marvel Scale}}.

===Species clause===
A rule whereby the use of more than one of the same Pokémon, or Pokémon in the same evolution chain, is forbidden. Pokémon that evolve from the same Pokémon but are not an evolution of each other are exempted. For example, the use of {{p|Gorebyss}} and {{p|Huntail}} is allowed, but the use of Gorebyss and {{p|Clamperl}} or Clamperl and Clamperl in one team - is not. An official clause, the various Battle Towers and Console connectivity games enforce this.

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

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

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

===Standard rules===
It refers to the rules used in [[Wi-Fi]] battles by most Competitive Battlers. The rules include: No Ubers, no hacks, no OHKO Moves, no Hax Items and also the Sleep.
Evasion and Species Clauses are optional now, as smogon is thinking about removing them completely from the standard rule list. Standard rules do NOT include these any more, to include these, they must be mentioned.

===Sweeper===
A moveset designed with the object of quickly knocking out, or "sweeping," an opponent's team. Specializes in mostly direct attacks with stat-boosting moves also common. It is characterized by high Speed and offensive stats while very often having poor defensive stats and HP. Comes in three variations - Physical, Special, and Mixed. (Physical sweepers use physical moves, Special sweepers use special moves, and Mixed sweepers use both.) mixed sweepers can also be used as wall breakers which are mixed sweepers whose attacks are specifically chosen to take down common walls, like close combat for blissey or fire blast for skarmory. Common counters are bulky Pokémon and priority moves.

===Tank===
A Pokémon that can take hits and still fight back. Often functions as a Wall/Sponge but different because while being hard to KO, it can still threaten the opponent offensively. Some common tanks are Bronzong and Suicune.

===Trapper===
A set designed with the purpose of trapping a Pokémon for one reason or another. Moves such as {{m|Mean Look}} and {{m|Spider Web}} are standard trapping moves but moves such as {{m|Wrap}} and {{m|Fire Spin}} are also used sometimes. Might be used in tandem with {{m|Toxic}} or {{m|Curse}} (Ghost variety) to sap the opponent's health or {{m|Perish Song}} for a guaranteed knockout. Certain abilities, such as {{a|Shadow Tag}}, {{a|Magnet Pull}} and {{a|Arena Trap}}, trap automatically.

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

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

===Type Coverage===
Type coverage referrs to combinations of attacks that are unresisted. Common combinations for coverage are boltbeam (only resisted by lanturn and magnezone) which is thunder bolt and ice beam, and ghost+fighting has perfect coverage, though this is not favourable because of the lack of reliable physical ghost attacks, or reliable fighting special attacks(though this can be solved somewhat by hidden power).

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

===Wall===
A Pokémon with a very high defensive stat. Used to block attacks of that kind (e.g. Physical Wall). Synonymous with '''Sponge'''.

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

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

===Boltbeam===
A combination of {{m|Thunderbolt}} and {{m|Ice Beam}} on the same set that is resisted only by {{p|Magnezone}}, {{a|Volt Absorb}} {{p|Lanturn}}, and {{p|Shedinja}}. May also be used for any combination of {{t|Electric}} and {{t|Ice}} moves, such as {{m|Thunderbolt}} and HP Ice.

===CalmCune===
A {{p|Suicune}} with {{m|Calm Mind}}. Often it uses {{m|Rest}} also. A very powerful and over-used Pokémon due to Suicune's two weaknesses being special types, and as a result its effectiveness has been reduced with the Gen IV Attack/Special split. Some counters include a Hazer or PHazer, a strong physical Electric or Grass attack and the move {{m|Encore}}.

===Celetran===
A combination of {{p|celebi}} and {{p|heatran}} used in the same team, this works because celebi covers all of heatran's weaknesses and heatran covers all of celebi's weaknesses. Both of these pokemon have mixed wall stats, they can take on both physical and special hits.

There are other combinations like this, such as latias and a steel type is a combination that resists every type in the game, though these combinations are not as well known.

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

===Cleric===
A moveset that includes either {{m|Heal Bell}} or {{m|Aromatherapy}}. A good example of a Cleric is {{p|Blissey}}.

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

===F.E.A.R.===

{{main|F.E.A.R}}

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

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

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

===MixApe===
A commonly used mixed sweeper moveset for {{p|Infernape}} that is extremely useful for wall-breaking, especially Skarmbliss. The set consists of a combination of the moves {{m|Flamethrower}}/{{m|Fire Blast}}, {{m|Close Combat}}, {{m|Grass Knot}}, {{m|ThunderPunch}}, HP Ice and {{m|Nasty Plot}}. It usually holds the item Life Orb.

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

===RNG===
An abbreviation for Random Number Generator. Players often manipulate the RNG to gain increased chances of catching [[shiny Pokémon]].

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

===Wondertomb/Wondereye===
A hacked {{p|Spiritomb}} or {{p|Sableye}} with the ability {{a|Wonder Guard}}. Since {{p|Spiritomb}} and {{p|Sableye}} have no weaknesses, they can only be damaged by weather conditions, status problems, entry hazards such as {{m|Spikes}} or {{m|Stealth Rock}}, recoil moves and, curiously, the move {{m|Fire Fang}}. Note that the ability {{a|Mold Breaker}} will cancel out the Wonder Guard ability. Also, If the opponent has {{a|Scrappy}}, or uses {{m|Odor Sleuth}} or {{m|Foresight}} a Wondereye or Wondertomb can be hit with a super effective Fighting-type attack. {{m|Gastro Acid}} is a move that will cancel this ability as well. Also, {{m|Future Sight}} and {{m|Doom Desire}} will strike through Wonder Guard as well, and do not take type into account so Future Sight will still damage the partial dark type Spiritomb and Sableye. These instances prove that Wondereyes and Wondertombs are not invincible.

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

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

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

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

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

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

====NFE====
Not an actual tier, but a term used to describe Pokémon that are not fully evolved, and thus should not be used competitively until they evolve. There are some NFEs that can viably be used competitively, namely:
* {{p|Pikachu}} with [[Light Ball]]
* {{p|Magneton}}
* {{p|Scyther}}
* {{p|Porygon2}}
* {{p|Vigoroth}}
* {{p|Trapinch}} with {{a|Arena Trap}}
* {{p|Clamperl}} with [[DeepSeaTooth]]

Some NFEs do exactly the same as their evolution. These may also be used competitively, but only in lower [[tier]]s than their evolution. For example, {{p|Chansey}} can be used in UU because its evolution {{p|Blissey}} is in OU, which makes it banned from UU. Another example of this is {{p|Munchlax}} in NU. there are some pokemon that work in OU that are NFEs, such as porygon 2, because it fits in differently from its evolution, porygon z.

HM slave

2010-03-04T19:40:01Z

Pokemongirl1:

{{incomplete}}
An '''HM slave''', or sometimes '''HM mule''' or '''HM whore''', is a Pokémon which is in the party not to be used in {{pkmn|battle}}, but to provide the use of [[HM]] moves or other {{cat|moves usable outside of battle}} that typically are not suitable for a powerful team. An HM slave itself is usually considered to be a Pokémon that can have all four of its moves taken up by HMs, and occasionally by any move usable outside of battle.

Most HM slaves are incredibly common Pokémon, typically those which can be captured on the first [[routes]] of a given game. A majority of them are {{type2|Normal}}, which is fitting, considering that this type is shared with three of the eight current HMs, and {{m|Rock Smash}}, though it is {{t|Fighting}}, is also usually available to them as well. {{type2|Water}} Pokémon are also common, as they also have three HM moves which share their type, and many are also able to use at least one or two of the other five. Because of these two tendencies, as well as its typing, {{p|Bibarel}} is often regarded as the ideal HM slave.

Due to both {{m|Fly}} and {{m|Defog}} sharing the {{type2|Flying}}, Pokémon of this type are also considered to be good HM slaves in Generation IV, especially considering Defog's effect does nothing to harm the opponent directly at all (while Flash lowered the opponent's accuracy, causing moves to sometimes miss, Defog merely lowers their evasiveness). HM slaves like {{p|Tropius}} and {{p|Pelipper}} are ideal for these roles since they are capable of using other HM moves along with Fly and Defog.

Typically, [[legendary Pokémon]] like {{p|Lugia}} and most especially {{p|Mew}} can learn many, if not all, HM moves. Because their high stats mean they are ''incredibly'' useful for battle, most consider it a waste to put ''any'' HM moves, aside from perhaps {{m|Surf}} or {{m|Waterfall}}, on a legendary, especially an event legendary like Mew, available only occasionally directly from [[Nintendo]] itself.

For Generation III, an example of two Pokémon learning all eight of the HMs and are available in the Hoenn region are Tropius (Cut, Fly, Strength and Rock Smash) and Psyduck (Surf, Flash, Waterfall and Dive).

Pokemongirl1: /* Baton Pass Chain */

__NOTOC__
{{cleanup}}
{{-}}
{{incomplete}}

==Broad Terms==
General terms that can apply to a number of different Pokémon.
===Annoyer===
A Pokémon designed with the sole purpose of annoying the opponent and making it difficult for him/her to use a move. Moves for this purpose include {{m|Confuse Ray}}, {{m|Thunder Wave}}, {{m|Protect}}, and {{m|Attract}}. It should be noted that the use of Annoyers has fallen since the start of [[Generation III]], mostly due to the fact that they rely too much on luck.
Though two relatively common annoyers in 4th gen are {{p|Jirachi}} ({{a|Serene Grace}}, {{m|Iron Head}}, {{m|Thunder Wave}}) and {{p|Togekiss}} ({{a|Serene Grace}}, {{m|Air Slash}}, {{m|Thunder Wave}}) these pokemon are also known as paraflinchers.

===Baton Passer===
A moveset with {{m|Baton Pass}} and at least one stat-boosting move or {{m|Psych Up}}, {{m|Mean Look}} or {{m|Substitute}}. Designed to raise one or more stats and/or activate one or more of the above moves, then Baton Pass the effects to another Pokémon. Stat boosts are countered by a '''Hazer''' or '''Pseudo-Hazer'''. A good example of a Baton Passer is {{p|Ninjask}}, who gains one level of Speed after each turn due to its ability {{a|Speed Boost}}. It often abuses the move {{m|Protect}} and may use {{m|Swords Dance}} and/or Substitute too. Ninjask commonly carry substitute and leichi berry so that it can baton pass 4 speed boosts, a leichi berry boost, and possibly a few swords dances or a substitute. Baton Passers can counter Pseudo-Hazers by passing {{m|Ingrain}}, but that can only be done by a {{p|Smeargle}}. Though this only affects Pseudo-Hazers who use roar or whirlwind, other pseudo hazers, such as pokemon who use perish song are unaffected, though baton passing to a Mr.Mime who is not affected because of soundproof is not affected by this.

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

===Choice Bander/CBer===
A moveset with physical attacks, and the hold item {{DL|In-battle effect item|Choice Band}}. Requires good prediction to use and counter.

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

===Counter===
A Pokémon that is able to successfully switch into the opposing Pokémon and is subsequently able to defeat it after switching in. For example, {{p|Gliscor}} is a counter to {{p|Heracross}}, since it resists Heracross's strongest attacks, {{m|Megahorn}} and {{m|Close Combat}}, and can defeat it easily with the Flying-type attack, {{m|Aerial Ace}}.
===Decoy/Death Fodder===
Any Pokémon that is 'sacrificed' against a strong opponent. The aim is to weaken the opponent's Pokémon before the sacrificial Pokémon is knocked out, then switch to a stronger Pokémon, preferably one whose moveset has an advantage over the opponent. A Decoy/Death Fodder is often used to switch to a different Pokémon without causing damage to the Pokémon one wants to battle by sacrificing the Decoy/Death Fodder.

===DDer===
Any Pokémon that makes use of {{m|Dragon Dance}}. Usually fast physical sweepers like {{p|Kingdra}} or {{p|Salamence}}.

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

===Endureversal/Flailer===
A moveset designed to {{m|Endure}} down to one HP, then {{m|Reversal}} or {{m|Flail}} for massive damage, since Reversal and Flail have 200 base power at 1%-4% HP. The item held is often a [[Salac Berry]] or a [[Liechi Berry]], tying in with the previous strategy.

===Evasion clause===
The use of evasion boosting moves like {{m|Double Team}}, or {{m|Minimize}}, is forbidden under the Evasion Clause. Similar moves which instead decrease the opposing Pokémon's accuracy, such as {{m|Sand-Attack}}, {{m|Mud-Slap}}, {{m|Mirror Shot}}, {{m|Mud Bomb}}, and {{m|Acupressure}}, are more widely accepted.

===Glass Cannon===
A Pokémon that has extremely high offensive stats, which are contrasted with its appalling defensive stats and often insufficient Speed (e.g. {{p|Sharpedo}} or {{p|Rampardos}}). A Choice Scarf is often employed on such Pokemon to make up for their lack of good Speed, but other Choice items also see use.

===Hax===
Something that relies more on chance than reliability or strategy. Hax can be manipulated in many different ways, including the use of [[items]] such as [[Quick Claw]], [[Focus Band]], or [[Brightpowder]], the use of moves such as {{m|Fissure}} or {{m|Sheer Cold}}. Critical hits and extra effects of attacks, such as {{m|Flamethrower}} burning the foe, are often considered hax. though with an attack that is specifically used for its chance to do something (I.E. discharge/lava plume for 30% status) also if an ability is used to increase the chance of something (I.E. super luck for critical hits, serene grace) are also generally not considered hax because with those abilities, many of times, it is more likely to hit a crit(super luck) or get the status(serene grace) than not.

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

===HM slave===

{{main|HM Slave}}

An [[HM]] slave is a Pokémon mostly untrained for battle which is used for basic case of learning HMs and being the one to use them out of battle when needed. It is mostly kept in a PC box and not part of a general team. It is used as an extra Pokémon that learns HMs, so a [[Pokémon trainer|trainer]] doesn't have to teach HMs to his or her main battlers. It is generally only brought out of a PC box when the use of HMs are needed. Due to {{p|Bibarel}} being capable of learning 6 HMs, it is often (if not always) [[tiers|classified]] as the authentically perfect HM slave.
{{p|Tropius}} is also regarded as a good HM slave as it can learn 5 HMs, including {{m|Fly}}.

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

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

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

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

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

===[[Masuda method]]===
A technique used to hatch {{shiny2}} {{pkmn|egg}}s involving Pokémon originating from games of different languages.

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

===[[One-hit knockout move|OHKO moves]]===
These are moves that cause a one-hit knock out when they hit; their accuracy is accordingly low (30%). Namely:
*{{m|Sheer Cold}}
*{{m|Fissure}}
*{{m|Horn Drill}}
*{{m|Guillotine}}

In Standard rules, OHKO moves are forbidden, so these are rarely seen.

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

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

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

===Priority Move===
A move that allows the user to attack first despite having a lower Speed stat. The priority moves are {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Mach Punch}}, {{m|Vacuum Wave}}, {{m|ExtremeSpeed}}, {{m|Aqua Jet}}, {{m|Bullet Punch}}, {{m|Ice Shard}}, and {{m|Sucker Punch}}.

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

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

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

===Sleep talker (Restalker/STalker)===
A moveset with {{M|Rest}} and {{M|Sleep Talk}}. It is used to maintain a Pokémon's (usually with good defenses) health with Rest, but allow it to attack in the meantime with Sleep Talk. It's not a perfect strategy, as there is the chance Sleep Talk will call Rest again, but it works often enough to see use. {{p|Milotic}} is an excellent example of a sleeptalker due to {{a|Marvel Scale}}.

===Species clause===
A rule whereby the use of more than one of the same Pokémon, or Pokémon in the same evolution chain, is forbidden. Pokémon that evolve from the same Pokémon but are not an evolution of each other are exempted. For example, the use of {{p|Gorebyss}} and {{p|Huntail}} is allowed, but the use of Gorebyss and {{p|Clamperl}} or Clamperl and Clamperl in one team - is not. An official clause, the various Battle Towers and Console connectivity games enforce this.

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

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

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

===Standard rules===
It refers to the rules used in [[Wi-Fi]] battles by most Competitive Battlers. The rules include: No Ubers, no hacks, no OHKO Moves, no Hax Items and also the Sleep.
Evasion and Species Clauses are optional now, as smogon is thinking about removing them completely from the standard rule list. Standard rules do NOT include these any more, to include these, they must be mentioned.

===Sweeper===
A moveset designed with the object of quickly knocking out, or "sweeping," an opponent's team. Specializes in mostly direct attacks with stat-boosting moves also common. It is characterized by high Speed and offensive stats while very often having poor defensive stats and HP. Comes in three variations - Physical, Special, and Mixed. (Physical sweepers use physical moves, Special sweepers use special moves, and Mixed sweepers use both.) mixed sweepers can also be used as wall breakers which are mixed sweepers whose attacks are specifically chosen to take down common walls, like close combat for blissey or fire blast for skarmory. Common counters are bulky Pokémon and priority moves.

===Tank===
A Pokémon that can take hits and still fight back. Often functions as a Wall/Sponge but different because while being hard to KO, it can still threaten the opponent offensively. Some common tanks are Bronzong and Suicune.

===Trapper===
A set designed with the purpose of trapping a Pokémon for one reason or another. Moves such as {{m|Mean Look}} and {{m|Spider Web}} are standard trapping moves but moves such as {{m|Wrap}} and {{m|Fire Spin}} are also used sometimes. Might be used in tandem with {{m|Toxic}} or {{m|Curse}} (Ghost variety) to sap the opponent's health or {{m|Perish Song}} for a guaranteed knockout. Certain abilities, such as {{a|Shadow Tag}}, {{a|Magnet Pull}} and {{a|Arena Trap}}, trap automatically.

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

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

===Type Coverage===
Type coverage referrs to combinations of attacks that are unresisted. Common combinations for coverage are boltbeam (only resisted by lanturn and magnezone) which is thunder bolt and ice beam, and ghost+fighting has perfect coverage, though this is not favourable because of the lack of reliable physical ghost attacks, or reliable fighting special attacks(though this can be solved somewhat by hidden power).

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

===Wall===
A Pokémon with a very high defensive stat. Used to block attacks of that kind (e.g. Physical Wall). Synonymous with '''Sponge'''.

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

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

===Boltbeam===
A combination of {{m|Thunderbolt}} and {{m|Ice Beam}} on the same set that is resisted only by {{p|Magnezone}}, {{a|Volt Absorb}} {{p|Lanturn}}, and {{p|Shedinja}}. May also be used for any combination of {{t|Electric}} and {{t|Ice}} moves, such as {{m|Thunderbolt}} and HP Ice.

===CalmCune===
A {{p|Suicune}} with {{m|Calm Mind}}. Often it uses {{m|Rest}} also. A very powerful and over-used Pokémon due to Suicune's two weaknesses being special types, and as a result its effectiveness has been reduced with the Gen IV Attack/Special split. Some counters include a Hazer or PHazer, a strong physical Electric or Grass attack and the move {{m|Encore}}.

===Celetran===
A combination of {{p|celebi}} and {{p|heatran}} used in the same team, this works because celebi covers all of heatran's weaknesses and heatran covers all of celebi's weaknesses. Both of these pokemon have mixed wall stats, they can take on both physical and special hits.

There are other combinations like this, such as latias and a steel type is a combination that resists every type in the game, though these combinations are not as well known.

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

===Cleric===
A moveset that includes either {{m|Heal Bell}} or {{m|Aromatherapy}}. A good example of a Cleric is {{p|Blissey}}.

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

===F.E.A.R.===

{{main|F.E.A.R}}

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

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

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

===MixApe===
A commonly used mixed sweeper moveset for {{p|Infernape}} that is extremely useful for wall-breaking, especially Skarmbliss. The set consists of a combination of the moves {{m|Flamethrower}}/{{m|Fire Blast}}, {{m|Close Combat}}, {{m|Grass Knot}}, {{m|ThunderPunch}}, HP Ice and {{m|Nasty Plot}}. It usually holds the item Life Orb.

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

===RNG===
An abbreviation for Random Number Generator. Players often manipulate the RNG to gain increased chances of catching [[shiny Pokémon]].

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

===Wondertomb/Wondereye===
A hacked {{p|Spiritomb}} or {{p|Sableye}} with the ability {{a|Wonder Guard}}. Since {{p|Spiritomb}} and {{p|Sableye}} have no weaknesses, they can only be damaged by weather conditions, status problems, entry hazards such as {{m|Spikes}} or {{m|Stealth Rock}}, recoil moves and, curiously, the move {{m|Fire Fang}}. Note that the ability {{a|Mold Breaker}} will cancel out the Wonder Guard ability. Also, If the opponent has {{a|Scrappy}}, or uses {{m|Odor Sleuth}} or {{m|Foresight}} a Wondereye or Wondertomb can be hit with a super effective Fighting-type attack. {{m|Gastro Acid}} is a move that will cancel this ability as well. Also, {{m|Future Sight}} and {{m|Doom Desire}} will strike through Wonder Guard as well, and do not take type into account so Future Sight will still damage the partial dark type Spiritomb and Sableye. These instances prove that Wondereyes and Wondertombs are not invincible.

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

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

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

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

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

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

====NFE====
Not an actual tier, but a term used to describe Pokémon that are not fully evolved, and thus should not be used competitively until they evolve. There are some NFEs that can viably be used competitively, namely:
* {{p|Pikachu}} with [[Light Ball]]
* {{p|Magneton}}
* {{p|Scyther}}
* {{p|Porygon2}}
* {{p|Vigoroth}}
* {{p|Trapinch}} with {{a|Arena Trap}}
* {{p|Clamperl}} with [[DeepSeaTooth]]

Some NFEs do exactly the same as their evolution. These may also be used competitively, but only in lower [[tier]]s than their evolution. For example, {{p|Chansey}} can be used in UU because its evolution {{p|Blissey}} is in OU, which makes it banned from UU. Another example of this is {{p|Munchlax}} in NU. there are some pokemon that work in OU that are NFEs, such as porygon 2, because it fits in differently from its evolution, porygon z.

==Broad Terms==
General terms that can apply to a number of different Pokémon.
===Annoyer===
A Pokémon designed with the sole purpose of annoying the opponent and making it difficult for him/her to use a move. Moves for this purpose include {{m|Confuse Ray}}, {{m|Thunder Wave}}, {{m|Protect}}, and {{m|Attract}}. It should be noted that the use of Annoyers has fallen since the start of [[Generation III]], mostly due to the fact that they rely too much on luck.
Though two relatively common annoyers in 4th gen are {{p|Jirachi}} ({{a|Serene Grace}}, {{m|Iron Head}}, {{m|Thunder Wave}}) and {{p|Togekiss}} ({{a|Serene Grace}}, {{m|Air Slash}}, {{m|Thunder Wave}}) these pokemon are also known as paraflinchers.

===Baton Passer===
A moveset with {{m|Baton Pass}} and at least one stat-boosting move or {{m|Psych Up}}, {{m|Mean Look}} or {{m|Substitute}}. Designed to raise one or more stats and/or activate one or more of the above moves, then Baton Pass the effects to another Pokémon. Stat boosts are countered by a '''Hazer''' or '''Pseudo-Hazer'''. A good example of a Baton Passer is {{p|Ninjask}}, who gains one level of Speed after each turn due to its ability {{a|Speed Boost}}. It often abuses the move {{m|Protect}} and may use {{m|Swords Dance}} and/or Substitute too. Ninjask commonly carry substitute and leichi berry so that it can baton pass 4 speed boosts, a leichi berry boost, and possibly a few swords dances or a substitute. Baton Passers can counter Pseudo-Hazers by passing {{m|Ingrain}}, but that can only be done by a {{p|Smeargle}}. Though this only affects Pseudo-Hazers who use roar or whirlwind, other pseudo hazers, such as pokemon who use perish song are unaffected, though baton passing to a Mr.Mime who is not affected because of soundproof is not affected by this.

===Baton Pass Chain===
Continuous use of the move {{m|Baton Pass}} on various Pokémon in order to accumulate stat boosts, often used to boost and pass a variety of different stats that one Pokémon couldn't pass itself.

===Choice Bander/CBer===
A moveset with physical attacks, and the hold item {{DL|In-battle effect item|Choice Band}}. Requires good prediction to use and counter.

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

===Counter===
A Pokémon that is able to successfully switch into the opposing Pokémon and is subsequently able to defeat it after switching in. For example, {{p|Gliscor}} is a counter to {{p|Heracross}}, since it resists Heracross's strongest attacks, {{m|Megahorn}} and {{m|Close Combat}}, and can defeat it easily with the Flying-type attack, {{m|Aerial Ace}}.
===Decoy/Death Fodder===
Any Pokémon that is 'sacrificed' against a strong opponent. The aim is to weaken the opponent's Pokémon before the sacrificial Pokémon is knocked out, then switch to a stronger Pokémon, preferably one whose moveset has an advantage over the opponent. A Decoy/Death Fodder is often used to switch to a different Pokémon without causing damage to the Pokémon one wants to battle by sacrificing the Decoy/Death Fodder.

===DDer===
Any Pokémon that makes use of {{m|Dragon Dance}}. Usually fast physical sweepers like {{p|Kingdra}} or {{p|Salamence}}.

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

===Endureversal/Flailer===
A moveset designed to {{m|Endure}} down to one HP, then {{m|Reversal}} or {{m|Flail}} for massive damage, since Reversal and Flail have 200 base power at 1%-4% HP. The item held is often a [[Salac Berry]] or a [[Liechi Berry]], tying in with the previous strategy.

===Evasion clause===
The use of evasion boosting moves like {{m|Double Team}}, or {{m|Minimize}}, is forbidden under the Evasion Clause. Similar moves which instead decrease the opposing Pokémon's accuracy, such as {{m|Sand-Attack}}, {{m|Mud-Slap}}, {{m|Mirror Shot}}, {{m|Mud Bomb}}, and {{m|Acupressure}}, are more widely accepted.

===Glass Cannon===
A Pokémon that has extremely high offensive stats, which are contrasted with its appalling defensive stats and often insufficient Speed (e.g. {{p|Sharpedo}} or {{p|Rampardos}}). A Choice Scarf is often employed on such Pokemon to make up for their lack of good Speed, but other Choice items also see use.

===Hax===
Something that relies more on chance than reliability or strategy. Hax can be manipulated in many different ways, including the use of [[items]] such as [[Quick Claw]], [[Focus Band]], or [[Brightpowder]], the use of moves such as {{m|Fissure}} or {{m|Sheer Cold}}. Critical hits and extra effects of attacks, such as {{m|Flamethrower}} burning the foe, are often considered hax. though with an attack that is specifically used for its chance to do something (I.E. discharge/lava plume for 30% status) also if an ability is used to increase the chance of something (I.E. super luck for critical hits, serene grace) are also generally not considered hax because with those abilities, many of times, it is more likely to hit a crit(super luck) or get the status(serene grace) than not.

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

===HM slave===

{{main|HM Slave}}

An [[HM]] slave is a Pokémon mostly untrained for battle which is used for basic case of learning HMs and being the one to use them out of battle when needed. It is mostly kept in a PC box and not part of a general team. It is used as an extra Pokémon that learns HMs, so a [[Pokémon trainer|trainer]] doesn't have to teach HMs to his or her main battlers. It is generally only brought out of a PC box when the use of HMs are needed. Due to {{p|Bibarel}} being capable of learning 6 HMs, it is often (if not always) [[tiers|classified]] as the authentically perfect HM slave.
{{p|Tropius}} is also regarded as a good HM slave as it can learn 5 HMs, including {{m|Fly}}.

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

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

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

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

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

===[[Masuda method]]===
A technique used to hatch {{shiny2}} {{pkmn|egg}}s involving Pokémon originating from games of different languages.

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

===[[One-hit knockout move|OHKO moves]]===
These are moves that cause a one-hit knock out when they hit; their accuracy is accordingly low (30%). Namely:
*{{m|Sheer Cold}}
*{{m|Fissure}}
*{{m|Horn Drill}}
*{{m|Guillotine}}

In Standard rules, OHKO moves are forbidden, so these are rarely seen.

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

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

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

===Priority Move===
A move that allows the user to attack first despite having a lower Speed stat. The priority moves are {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Mach Punch}}, {{m|Vacuum Wave}}, {{m|ExtremeSpeed}}, {{m|Aqua Jet}}, {{m|Bullet Punch}}, {{m|Ice Shard}}, and {{m|Sucker Punch}}.

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

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

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

===Sleep talker (Restalker/STalker)===
A moveset with {{M|Rest}} and {{M|Sleep Talk}}. It is used to maintain a Pokémon's (usually with good defenses) health with Rest, but allow it to attack in the meantime with Sleep Talk. It's not a perfect strategy, as there is the chance Sleep Talk will call Rest again, but it works often enough to see use. {{p|Milotic}} is an excellent example of a sleeptalker due to {{a|Marvel Scale}}.

===Species clause===
A rule whereby the use of more than one of the same Pokémon, or Pokémon in the same evolution chain, is forbidden. Pokémon that evolve from the same Pokémon but are not an evolution of each other are exempted. For example, the use of {{p|Gorebyss}} and {{p|Huntail}} is allowed, but the use of Gorebyss and {{p|Clamperl}} or Clamperl and Clamperl in one team - is not. An official clause, the various Battle Towers and Console connectivity games enforce this.

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

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

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

===Standard rules===
It refers to the rules used in [[Wi-Fi]] battles by most Competitive Battlers. The rules include: No Ubers, no hacks, no OHKO Moves, no Hax Items and also the Sleep.
Evasion and Species Clauses are optional now, as smogon is thinking about removing them completely from the standard rule list. Standard rules do NOT include these any more, to include these, they must be mentioned.

===Sweeper===
A moveset designed with the object of quickly knocking out, or "sweeping," an opponent's team. Specializes in mostly direct attacks with stat-boosting moves also common. It is characterized by high Speed and offensive stats while very often having poor defensive stats and HP. Comes in three variations - Physical, Special, and Mixed. (Physical sweepers use physical moves, Special sweepers use special moves, and Mixed sweepers use both.) mixed sweepers can also be used as wall breakers which are mixed sweepers whose attacks are specifically chosen to take down common walls, like close combat for blissey or fire blast for skarmory. Common counters are bulky Pokémon and priority moves.

===Tank===
A Pokémon that can take hits and still fight back. Often functions as a Wall/Sponge but different because while being hard to KO, it can still threaten the opponent offensively. Some common tanks are Bronzong and Suicune.

===Trapper===
A set designed with the purpose of trapping a Pokémon for one reason or another. Moves such as {{m|Mean Look}} and {{m|Spider Web}} are standard trapping moves but moves such as {{m|Wrap}} and {{m|Fire Spin}} are also used sometimes. Might be used in tandem with {{m|Toxic}} or {{m|Curse}} (Ghost variety) to sap the opponent's health or {{m|Perish Song}} for a guaranteed knockout. Certain abilities, such as {{a|Shadow Tag}}, {{a|Magnet Pull}} and {{a|Arena Trap}}, trap automatically.

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

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

===Type Coverage===
Type coverage referrs to combinations of attacks that are unresisted. Common combinations for coverage are boltbeam (only resisted by lanturn and magnezone) which is thunder bolt and ice beam, and ghost+fighting has perfect coverage, though this is not favourable because of the lack of reliable physical ghost attacks, or reliable fighting special attacks(though this can be solved somewhat by hidden power).

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

===Wall===
A Pokémon with a very high defensive stat. Used to block attacks of that kind (e.g. Physical Wall). Synonymous with '''Sponge'''.

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

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

===Boltbeam===
A combination of {{m|Thunderbolt}} and {{m|Ice Beam}} on the same set that is resisted only by {{p|Magnezone}}, {{a|Volt Absorb}} {{p|Lanturn}}, and {{p|Shedinja}}. May also be used for any combination of {{t|Electric}} and {{t|Ice}} moves, such as {{m|Thunderbolt}} and HP Ice.

===CalmCune===
A {{p|Suicune}} with {{m|Calm Mind}}. Often it uses {{m|Rest}} also. A very powerful and over-used Pokémon due to Suicune's two weaknesses being special types, and as a result its effectiveness has been reduced with the Gen IV Attack/Special split. Some counters include a Hazer or PHazer, a strong physical Electric or Grass attack and the move {{m|Encore}}.

===Celetran===
A combination of {{p|celebi}} and {{p|heatran}} used in the same team, this works because celebi covers all of heatran's weaknesses and heatran covers all of celebi's weaknesses. Both of these pokemon have mixed wall stats, they can take on both physical and special hits.

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

===Cleric===
A moveset that includes either {{m|Heal Bell}} or {{m|Aromatherapy}}. A good example of a Cleric is {{p|Blissey}}.

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

===F.E.A.R.===

{{main|F.E.A.R}}

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

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

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

===MixApe===
A commonly used mixed sweeper moveset for {{p|Infernape}} that is extremely useful for wall-breaking, especially Skarmbliss. The set consists of a combination of the moves {{m|Flamethrower}}/{{m|Fire Blast}}, {{m|Close Combat}}, {{m|Grass Knot}}, {{m|ThunderPunch}}, HP Ice and {{m|Nasty Plot}}. It usually holds the item Life Orb.

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

===RNG===
An abbreviation for Random Number Generator. Players often manipulate the RNG to gain increased chances of catching [[shiny Pokémon]].

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

===Wondertomb/Wondereye===
A hacked {{p|Spiritomb}} or {{p|Sableye}} with the ability {{a|Wonder Guard}}. Since {{p|Spiritomb}} and {{p|Sableye}} have no weaknesses, they can only be damaged by weather conditions, status problems, entry hazards such as {{m|Spikes}} or {{m|Stealth Rock}}, recoil moves and, curiously, the move {{m|Fire Fang}}. Note that the ability {{a|Mold Breaker}} will cancel out the Wonder Guard ability. Also, If the opponent has {{a|Scrappy}}, or uses {{m|Odor Sleuth}} or {{m|Foresight}} a Wondereye or Wondertomb can be hit with a super effective Fighting-type attack. {{m|Gastro Acid}} is a move that will cancel this ability as well. Also, {{m|Future Sight}} and {{m|Doom Desire}} will strike through Wonder Guard as well, and do not take type into account so Future Sight will still damage the partial dark type Spiritomb and Sableye. These instances prove that Wondereyes and Wondertombs are not invincible.

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

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

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

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

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

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

====NFE====
Not an actual tier, but a term used to describe Pokémon that are not fully evolved, and thus should not be used competitively until they evolve. There are some NFEs that can viably be used competitively, namely:
* {{p|Pikachu}} with [[Light Ball]]
* {{p|Magneton}}
* {{p|Scyther}}
* {{p|Porygon2}}
* {{p|Vigoroth}}
* {{p|Trapinch}} with {{a|Arena Trap}}
* {{p|Clamperl}} with [[DeepSeaTooth]]

Some NFEs do exactly the same as their evolution. These may also be used competitively, but only in lower [[tier]]s than their evolution. For example, {{p|Chansey}} can be used in UU because its evolution {{p|Blissey}} is in OU, which makes it banned from UU. Another example of this is {{p|Munchlax}} in NU. there are some pokemon that work in OU that are NFEs, such as porygon 2, because it fits in differently from its evolution, porygon z.

==Broad Terms==
General terms that can apply to a number of different Pokémon.
===Annoyer===
A Pokémon designed with the sole purpose of annoying the opponent and making it difficult for him/her to use a move. Moves for this purpose include {{m|Confuse Ray}}, {{m|Thunder Wave}}, {{m|Protect}}, and {{m|Attract}}. It should be noted that the use of Annoyers has fallen since the start of [[Generation III]], mostly due to the fact that they rely too much on luck.
Though two relatively common annoyers in 4th gen are {{p|Jirachi}} ({{a|Serene Grace}}, {{m|Iron Head}}, {{m|Thunder Wave}}) and {{p|Togekiss}} ({{a|Serene Grace}}, {{m|Air Slash}}, {{m|Thunder Wave}}) these pokemon are also known as paraflinchers.

===Baton Passer===
A moveset with {{m|Baton Pass}} and at least one stat-boosting move or {{m|Psych Up}}, {{m|Mean Look}} or {{m|Substitute}}. Designed to raise one or more stats and/or activate one or more of the above moves, then Baton Pass the effects to another Pokémon. Stat boosts are countered by a '''Hazer''' or '''Pseudo-Hazer'''. A good example of a Baton Passer is {{p|Ninjask}}, who gains one level of Speed after each turn due to its ability {{a|Speed Boost}}. It often abuses the move {{m|Protect}} and may use {{m|Swords Dance}} and/or Substitute too. Ninjask commonly carry substitute and leichi berry so that it can baton pass 4 speed boosts, a leichi berry boost, and possibly a few swords dances or a substitute. Baton Passers can counter Pseudo-Hazers by passing {{m|Ingrain}}, but that can only be done by a {{p|Smeargle}}. Though this only affects Pseudo-Hazers who use roar or whirlwind, other pseudo hazers, such as pokemon who use perish song are unaffected, though baton passing to a Mr.Mime who is not affected because of soundproof is not affected by this.

===Baton Pass Chain===
Continuous use of the move {{m|Baton Pass}} on various Pokémon in order to accumulate stat boosts, often used to boost and pass a variety of different stats that one Pokémon couldn't pass itself.

===Choice Bander/CBer===
A moveset with physical attacks, and the hold item {{DL|In-battle effect item|Choice Band}}. Requires good prediction to use and counter.

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

===Counter===
A Pokémon that is able to successfully switch into the opposing Pokémon and is subsequently able to defeat it after switching in. For example, {{p|Gliscor}} is a counter to {{p|Heracross}}, since it resists Heracross's strongest attacks, {{m|Megahorn}} and {{m|Close Combat}}, and can defeat it easily with the Flying-type attack, {{m|Aerial Ace}}.
===Decoy/Death Fodder===
Any Pokémon that is 'sacrificed' against a strong opponent. The aim is to weaken the opponent's Pokémon before the sacrificial Pokémon is knocked out, then switch to a stronger Pokémon, preferably one whose moveset has an advantage over the opponent. A Decoy/Death Fodder is often used to switch to a different Pokémon without causing damage to the Pokémon one wants to battle by sacrificing the Decoy/Death Fodder.

===DDer===
Any Pokémon that makes use of {{m|Dragon Dance}}. Usually fast physical sweepers like {{p|Kingdra}} or {{p|Salamence}}.

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

===Endureversal/Flailer===
A moveset designed to {{m|Endure}} down to one HP, then {{m|Reversal}} or {{m|Flail}} for massive damage, since Reversal and Flail have 200 base power at 1%-4% HP. The item held is often a [[Salac Berry]] or a [[Liechi Berry]], tying in with the previous strategy.

===Evasion clause===
The use of evasion boosting moves like {{m|Double Team}}, or {{m|Minimize}}, is forbidden under the Evasion Clause. Similar moves which instead decrease the opposing Pokémon's accuracy, such as {{m|Sand-Attack}}, {{m|Mud-Slap}}, {{m|Mirror Shot}}, {{m|Mud Bomb}}, and {{m|Acupressure}}, are more widely accepted.

===Glass Cannon===
A Pokémon that has extremely high offensive stats, which are contrasted with its appalling defensive stats and often insufficient Speed (e.g. {{p|Sharpedo}} or {{p|Rampardos}}). A Choice Scarf is often employed on such Pokemon to make up for their lack of good Speed, but other Choice items also see use.

===Hax===
Something that relies more on chance than reliability or strategy. Hax can be manipulated in many different ways, including the use of [[items]] such as [[Quick Claw]], [[Focus Band]], or [[Brightpowder]], the use of moves such as {{m|Fissure}} or {{m|Sheer Cold}}. Critical hits and extra effects of attacks, such as {{m|Flamethrower}} burning the foe, are often considered hax. though with an attack that is specifically used for its chance to do something (I.E. discharge/lava plume for 30% status) also if an ability is used to increase the chance of something (I.E. super luck for critical hits, serene grace) are also generally not considered hax because with those abilities, many of times, it is more likely to hit a crit(super luck) or get the status(serene grace) than not.

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

===HM slave===

{{main|HM Slave}}

An [[HM]] slave is a Pokémon mostly untrained for battle which is used for basic case of learning HMs and being the one to use them out of battle when needed. It is mostly kept in a PC box and not part of a general team. It is used as an extra Pokémon that learns HMs, so a [[Pokémon trainer|trainer]] doesn't have to teach HMs to his or her main battlers. It is generally only brought out of a PC box when the use of HMs are needed. Due to {{p|Bibarel}} being capable of learning 6 HMs, it is often (if not always) [[tiers|classified]] as the authentically perfect HM slave.
{{p|Tropius}} is also regarded as a good HM slave as it can learn 5 HMs, including {{m|Fly}}.

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

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

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

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

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

===[[Masuda method]]===
A technique used to hatch {{shiny2}} {{pkmn|egg}}s involving Pokémon originating from games of different languages.

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

===[[One-hit knockout move|OHKO moves]]===
These are moves that cause a one-hit knock out when they hit; their accuracy is accordingly low (30%). Namely:
*{{m|Sheer Cold}}
*{{m|Fissure}}
*{{m|Horn Drill}}
*{{m|Guillotine}}

In Standard rules, OHKO moves are forbidden, so these are rarely seen.

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

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

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

===Priority Move===
A move that allows the user to attack first despite having a lower Speed stat. The priority moves are {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Mach Punch}}, {{m|Vacuum Wave}}, {{m|ExtremeSpeed}}, {{m|Aqua Jet}}, {{m|Bullet Punch}}, {{m|Ice Shard}}, and {{m|Sucker Punch}}.

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

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

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

===Sleep talker (Restalker/STalker)===
A moveset with {{M|Rest}} and {{M|Sleep Talk}}. It is used to maintain a Pokémon's (usually with good defenses) health with Rest, but allow it to attack in the meantime with Sleep Talk. It's not a perfect strategy, as there is the chance Sleep Talk will call Rest again, but it works often enough to see use. {{p|Milotic}} is an excellent example of a sleeptalker due to {{a|Marvel Scale}}.

===Species clause===
A rule whereby the use of more than one of the same Pokémon, or Pokémon in the same evolution chain, is forbidden. Pokémon that evolve from the same Pokémon but are not an evolution of each other are exempted. For example, the use of {{p|Gorebyss}} and {{p|Huntail}} is allowed, but the use of Gorebyss and {{p|Clamperl}} or Clamperl and Clamperl in one team - is not. An official clause, the various Battle Towers and Console connectivity games enforce this.

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

===Sponge===
A Pokémon with a very high defensive stat. Used to block attacks of that kind (e.g. Special Sponge). Synonymous with '''Wall'''.

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

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

===Standard rules===
It refers to the rules used in [[Wi-Fi]] battles by most Competitive Battlers. The rules include: No Ubers, no hacks, no OHKO Moves, no Hax Items and also the Sleep.
Evasion and Species Clauses are optional now, as smogon is thinking about removing them completely from the standard rule list. Standard rules do NOT include these any more, to include these, they must be mentioned.

===Sweeper===
A moveset designed with the object of quickly knocking out, or "sweeping," an opponent's team. Specializes in mostly direct attacks with stat-boosting moves also common. It is characterized by high Speed and offensive stats while very often having poor defensive stats and HP. Comes in three variations - Physical, Special, and Mixed. (Physical sweepers use physical moves, Special sweepers use special moves, and Mixed sweepers use both.) mixed sweepers can also be used as wall breakers which are mixed sweepers whose attacks are specifically chosen to take down common walls, like close combat for blissey or fire blast for skarmory. Common counters are bulky Pokémon and priority moves.

===Tank===
A Pokémon that can take hits and still fight back. Often functions as a Wall/Sponge but different because while being hard to KO, it can still threaten the opponent offensively. Some common tanks are Bronzong and Suicune.

===Trapper===
A set designed with the purpose of trapping a Pokémon for one reason or another. Moves such as {{m|Mean Look}} and {{m|Spider Web}} are standard trapping moves but moves such as {{m|Wrap}} and {{m|Fire Spin}} are also used sometimes. Might be used in tandem with {{m|Toxic}} or {{m|Curse}} (Ghost variety) to sap the opponent's health or {{m|Perish Song}} for a guaranteed knockout. Certain abilities, such as {{a|Shadow Tag}}, {{a|Magnet Pull}} and {{a|Arena Trap}}, trap automatically.

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

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

===Type Coverage===
Type coverage referrs to combinations of attacks that are unresisted. Common combinations for coverage are boltbeam (only resisted by lanturn and magnezone) which is thunder bolt and ice beam, and ghost+fighting has perfect coverage, though this is not favourable because of the lack of reliable physical ghost attacks, or reliable fighting special attacks(though this can be solved somewhat by hidden power).

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

===Wall===
A Pokémon with a very high defensive stat. Used to block attacks of that kind (e.g. Physical Wall). Synonymous with '''Sponge'''.

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

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

===Boltbeam===
A combination of {{m|Thunderbolt}} and {{m|Ice Beam}} on the same set that is resisted only by {{p|Magnezone}}, {{a|Volt Absorb}} {{p|Lanturn}}, and {{p|Shedinja}}. May also be used for any combination of {{t|Electric}} and {{t|Ice}} moves, such as {{m|Thunderbolt}} and HP Ice.

===CalmCune===
A {{p|Suicune}} with {{m|Calm Mind}}. Often it uses {{m|Rest}} also. A very powerful and over-used Pokémon due to Suicune's two weaknesses being special types, and as a result its effectiveness has been reduced with the Gen IV Attack/Special split. Some counters include a Hazer or PHazer, a strong physical Electric or Grass attack and the move {{m|Encore}}.

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

===Cleric===
A moveset that includes either {{m|Heal Bell}} or {{m|Aromatherapy}}. A good example of a Cleric is {{p|Blissey}}.

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

===F.E.A.R.===

{{main|F.E.A.R}}

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

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

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

===MixApe===
A commonly used mixed sweeper moveset for {{p|Infernape}} that is extremely useful for wall-breaking, especially Skarmbliss. The set consists of a combination of the moves {{m|Flamethrower}}/{{m|Fire Blast}}, {{m|Close Combat}}, {{m|Grass Knot}}, {{m|ThunderPunch}}, HP Ice and {{m|Nasty Plot}}. It usually holds the item Life Orb.

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

===RNG===
An abbreviation for Random Number Generator. Players often manipulate the RNG to gain increased chances of catching [[shiny Pokémon]].

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

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

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

===Celetran===
A combination of {{p|celebi}} and {{p|heatran}} used in the same team, this works because celebi covers all of heatran's weaknesses and heatran covers all of celebi's weaknesses. Both of these pokemon have mixed wall stats, they can take on both physical and special hits.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

===Wondertomb/Wondereye===
A hacked {{p|Spiritomb}} or {{p|Sableye}} with the ability {{a|Wonder Guard}}. Since {{p|Spiritomb}} and {{p|Sableye}} have no weaknesses, they can only be damaged by weather conditions, status problems, entry hazards such as {{m|Spikes}} or {{m|Stealth Rock}}, recoil moves and, curiously, the move {{m|Fire Fang}}. Note that the ability {{a|Mold Breaker}} will cancel out the Wonder Guard ability. Also, If the opponent has {{a|Scrappy}}, or uses {{m|Odor Sleuth}} or {{m|Foresight}} a Wondereye or Wondertomb can be hit with a super effective Fighting-type attack. {{m|Gastro Acid}} is a move that will cancel this ability as well. Also, {{m|Future Sight}} and {{m|Doom Desire}} will strike through Wonder Guard as well, and do not take type into account so Future Sight will still damage the partial dark type Spiritomb and Sableye. These instances prove that Wondereyes and Wondertombs are not invincible.

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

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

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

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

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

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

====NFE====
Not an actual tier, but a term used to describe Pokémon that are not fully evolved, and thus should not be used competitively until they evolve. There are some NFEs that can viably be used competitively, namely:
* {{p|Pikachu}} with [[Light Ball]]
* {{p|Magneton}}
* {{p|Scyther}}
* {{p|Porygon2}}
* {{p|Vigoroth}}
* {{p|Trapinch}} with {{a|Arena Trap}}
* {{p|Clamperl}} with [[DeepSeaTooth]]

Some NFEs do exactly the same as their evolution. These may also be used competitively, but only in lower [[tier]]s than their evolution. For example, {{p|Chansey}} can be used in UU because its evolution {{p|Blissey}} is in OU, which makes it banned from UU. Another example of this is {{p|Munchlax}} in NU.

__NOTOC__

{{-}}
{{incomplete}}

==Broad Terms==
General terms that can apply to a number of different Pokémon.
===Annoyer===
A Pokémon designed with the sole purpose of annoying the opponent and making it difficult for him/her to use a move. Moves for this purpose include {{m|Confuse Ray}}, {{m|Thunder Wave}}, {{m|Protect}}, and {{m|Attract}}. It should be noted that the use of Annoyers has fallen since the start of [[Generation III]], mostly due to the fact that they rely too much on luck.
Though two relatively common annoyers in 4th gen are {{p|Jirachi}} ({{a|Serene Grace}}, {{m|Iron Head}}, {{m|Thunder Wave}}) and {{p|Togekiss}} ({{a|Serene Grace}}, {{m|Air Slash}}, {{m|Thunder Wave}}) these pokemon are also known as paraflinchers.

===Baton Passer===
A moveset with {{m|Baton Pass}} and at least one stat-boosting move or {{m|Psych Up}}, {{m|Mean Look}} or {{m|Substitute}}. Designed to raise one or more stats and/or activate one or more of the above moves, then Baton Pass the effects to another Pokémon. Stat boosts are countered by a '''Hazer''' or '''Pseudo-Hazer'''. A good example of a Baton Passer is {{p|Ninjask}}, who gains one level of Speed after each turn due to its ability {{a|Speed Boost}}. It often abuses the move {{m|Protect}} and may use {{m|Swords Dance}} and/or Substitute too. Ninjask commonly carry substitute and leichi berry so that it can baton pass 4 speed boosts, a leichi berry boost, and possibly a few swords dances or a substitute. Baton Passers can counter Pseudo-Hazers by passing {{m|Ingrain}}, but that can only be done by a {{p|Smeargle}}. Though this only affects Pseudo-Hazers who use roar or whirlwind, other pseudo hazers, such as pokemon who use perish song are unaffected, though baton passing to a Mr.Mime who is not affected because of soundproof is not affected by this.

===Baton Pass Chain===
Continuous use of the move {{m|Baton Pass}} on various Pokémon in order to accumulate stat boosts, often used to boost and pass a variety of different stats that one Pokémon couldn't pass itself.

===Choice Bander/CBer===
A moveset with physical attacks, and the hold item {{DL|In-battle effect item|Choice Band}}. Requires good prediction to use and counter.

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

===Counter===
A Pokémon that is able to successfully switch into the opposing Pokémon and is subsequently able to defeat it after switching in. For example, {{p|Gliscor}} is a counter to {{p|Heracross}}, since it resists Heracross's strongest attacks, {{m|Megahorn}} and {{m|Close Combat}}, and can defeat it easily with the Flying-type attack, {{m|Aerial Ace}}.
===Decoy/Death Fodder===
Any Pokémon that is 'sacrificed' against a strong opponent. The aim is to weaken the opponent's Pokémon before the sacrificial Pokémon is knocked out, then switch to a stronger Pokémon, preferably one whose moveset has an advantage over the opponent. A Decoy/Death Fodder is often used to switch to a different Pokémon without causing damage to the Pokémon one wants to battle by sacrificing the Decoy/Death Fodder.

===DDer===
Any Pokémon that makes use of {{m|Dragon Dance}}. Usually fast physical sweepers like {{p|Kingdra}} or {{p|Salamence}}.

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

===Endureversal/Flailer===
A moveset designed to {{m|Endure}} down to one HP, then {{m|Reversal}} or {{m|Flail}} for massive damage, since Reversal and Flail have 200 base power at 1%-4% HP. The item held is often a [[Salac Berry]] or a [[Liechi Berry]], tying in with the previous strategy.

===Evasion clause===
The use of evasion boosting moves like {{m|Double Team}}, or {{m|Minimize}}, is forbidden under the Evasion Clause. Similar moves which instead decrease the opposing Pokémon's accuracy, such as {{m|Sand-Attack}}, {{m|Mud-Slap}}, {{m|Mirror Shot}}, {{m|Mud Bomb}}, and {{m|Acupressure}}, are more widely accepted.

===Glass Cannon===
A Pokémon that has extremely high offensive stats, which are contrasted with its appalling defensive stats and often insufficient Speed (e.g. {{p|Sharpedo}} or {{p|Rampardos}}). A Choice Scarf is often employed on such Pokemon to make up for their lack of good Speed, but other Choice items also see use.

===Hax===
Something that relies more on chance than reliability or strategy. Hax can be manipulated in many different ways, including the use of [[items]] such as [[Quick Claw]], [[Focus Band]], or [[Brightpowder]], the use of moves such as {{m|Fissure}} or {{m|Sheer Cold}}. Critical hits and extra effects of attacks, such as {{m|Flamethrower}} burning the foe, are often considered hax. though with an attack that is specifically used for its chance to do something (I.E. discharge/lava plume for 30% status) also if an ability is used to increase the chance of something (I.E. super luck for critical hits, serene grace) are also generally not considered hax because with those abilities, many of times, it is more likely to hit a crit(super luck) or get the status(serene grace) than not.

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

===HM slave===

{{main|HM Slave}}

An [[HM]] slave is a Pokémon mostly untrained for battle which is used for basic case of learning HMs and being the one to use them out of battle when needed. It is mostly kept in a PC box and not part of a general team. It is used as an extra Pokémon that learns HMs, so a [[Pokémon trainer|trainer]] doesn't have to teach HMs to his or her main battlers. It is generally only brought out of a PC box when the use of HMs are needed. Due to {{p|Bibarel}} being capable of learning 6 HMs, it is often (if not always) [[tiers|classified]] as the authentically perfect HM slave.
{{p|Tropius}} is also regarded as a good HM slave as it can learn 5 HMs, including {{m|Fly}}.

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

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

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

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

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

===[[Masuda method]]===
A technique used to hatch {{shiny2}} {{pkmn|egg}}s involving Pokémon originating from games of different languages.

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

===[[One-hit knockout move|OHKO moves]]===
These are moves that cause a one-hit knock out when they hit; their accuracy is accordingly low (30%). Namely:
*{{m|Sheer Cold}}
*{{m|Fissure}}
*{{m|Horn Drill}}
*{{m|Guillotine}}

In Standard rules, OHKO moves are forbidden, so these are rarely seen.

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

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

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

===Priority Move===
A move that allows the user to attack first despite having a lower Speed stat. The priority moves are {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Mach Punch}}, {{m|Vacuum Wave}}, {{m|ExtremeSpeed}}, {{m|Aqua Jet}}, {{m|Bullet Punch}}, {{m|Ice Shard}}, and {{m|Sucker Punch}}.

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

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

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

===Sleep talker (Restalker/STalker)===
A moveset with {{M|Rest}} and {{M|Sleep Talk}}. It is used to maintain a Pokémon's (usually with good defenses) health with Rest, but allow it to attack in the meantime with Sleep Talk. It's not a perfect strategy, as there is the chance Sleep Talk will call Rest again, but it works often enough to see use. {{p|Milotic}} is an excellent example of a sleeptalker due to {{a|Marvel Scale}}.

===Species clause===
A rule whereby the use of more than one of the same Pokémon, or Pokémon in the same evolution chain, is forbidden. Pokémon that evolve from the same Pokémon but are not an evolution of each other are exempted. For example, the use of {{p|Gorebyss}} and {{p|Huntail}} is allowed, but the use of Gorebyss and {{p|Clamperl}} or Clamperl and Clamperl in one team - is not. An official clause, the various Battle Towers and Console connectivity games enforce this.

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

===Sponge===
A Pokémon with a very high defensive stat. Used to block attacks of that kind (e.g. Special Sponge). Synonymous with '''Wall'''.

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

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

===Standard rules===
It refers to the rules used in [[Wi-Fi]] battles by most Competitive Battlers. The rules include: No Ubers, no hacks, no OHKO Moves, no Hax Items and also the Sleep.
Evasion and Species Clauses are optional now, as smogon is thinking about removing them completely from the standard rule list. Standard rules do NOT include these any more, to include these, they must be mentioned.

===Sweeper===
A moveset designed with the object of quickly knocking out, or "sweeping," an opponent's team. Specializes in mostly direct attacks with stat-boosting moves also common. It is characterized by high Speed and offensive stats while very often having poor defensive stats and HP. Comes in three variations - Physical, Special, and Mixed. (Physical sweepers use physical moves, Special sweepers use special moves, and Mixed sweepers use both.) mixed sweepers can also be used as wall breakers which are mixed sweepers whose attacks are specifically chosen to take down common walls, like close combat for blissey or fire blast for skarmory. Common counters are bulky Pokémon and priority moves.

===Tank===
A Pokémon that can take hits and still fight back. Often functions as a Wall/Sponge but different because while being hard to KO, it can still threaten the opponent offensively. Some common tanks are Bronzong and Suicune.

===Trapper===
A set designed with the purpose of trapping a Pokémon for one reason or another. Moves such as {{m|Mean Look}} and {{m|Spider Web}} are standard trapping moves but moves such as {{m|Wrap}} and {{m|Fire Spin}} are also used sometimes. Might be used in tandem with {{m|Toxic}} or {{m|Curse}} (Ghost variety) to sap the opponent's health or {{m|Perish Song}} for a guaranteed knockout. Certain abilities, such as {{a|Shadow Tag}}, {{a|Magnet Pull}} and {{a|Arena Trap}}, trap automatically.

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

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

===Type Coverage===
Type coverage referrs to combinations of attacks that are unresisted. Common combinations for coverage are boltbeam (only resisted by lanturn and magnezone) which is thunder bolt and ice beam, and ghost+fighting has perfect coverage, though this is not favourable because of the lack of reliable physical ghost attacks, or reliable fighting special attacks(though this can be solved somewhat by hidden power).

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

===Wall===
A Pokémon with a very high defensive stat. Used to block attacks of that kind (e.g. Physical Wall). Synonymous with '''Sponge'''.

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

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

===Boltbeam===
A combination of {{m|Thunderbolt}} and {{m|Ice Beam}} on the same set that is resisted only by {{p|Magnezone}}, {{a|Volt Absorb}} {{p|Lanturn}}, and {{p|Shedinja}}. May also be used for any combination of {{t|Electric}} and {{t|Ice}} moves, such as {{m|Thunderbolt}} and HP Ice.

===CalmCune===
A {{p|Suicune}} with {{m|Calm Mind}}. Often it uses {{m|Rest}} also. A very powerful and over-used Pokémon due to Suicune's two weaknesses being special types, and as a result its effectiveness has been reduced with the Gen IV Attack/Special split. Some counters include a Hazer or PHazer, a strong physical Electric or Grass attack and the move {{m|Encore}}.

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

===Cleric===
A moveset that includes either {{m|Heal Bell}} or {{m|Aromatherapy}}. A good example of a Cleric is {{p|Blissey}}.

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

===F.E.A.R.===

{{main|F.E.A.R}}

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

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

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

===MixApe===
A commonly used mixed sweeper moveset for {{p|Infernape}} that is extremely useful for wall-breaking, especially Skarmbliss. The set consists of a combination of the moves {{m|Flamethrower}}/{{m|Fire Blast}}, {{m|Close Combat}}, {{m|Grass Knot}}, {{m|ThunderPunch}}, HP Ice and {{m|Nasty Plot}}. It usually holds the item Life Orb.

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

===RNG===
An abbreviation for Random Number Generator. Players often manipulate the RNG to gain increased chances of catching [[shiny Pokémon]].

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

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

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

===Celetran===
A combination of {{p|celebi}} and {{p|heatran}} used in the same team, this works because celebi covers all of heatran's weaknesses and heatran covers all of celebi's weaknesses. Both of these pokemon have mixed wall stats, they can take on both physical and special hits.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

===Wondertomb/Wondereye===
A hacked {{p|Spiritomb}} or {{p|Sableye}} with the ability {{a|Wonder Guard}}. Since {{p|Spiritomb}} and {{p|Sableye}} have no weaknesses, they can only be damaged by weather conditions, status problems, entry hazards such as {{m|Spikes}} or {{m|Stealth Rock}}, recoil moves and, curiously, the move {{m|Fire Fang}}. Note that the ability {{a|Mold Breaker}} will cancel out the Wonder Guard ability. Also, If the opponent has {{a|Scrappy}}, or uses {{m|Odor Sleuth}} or {{m|Foresight}} a Wondereye or Wondertomb can be hit with a super effective Fighting-type attack. {{m|Gastro Acid}} is a move that will cancel this ability as well. Also, {{m|Future Sight}} and {{m|Doom Desire}} will strike through Wonder Guard as well, and do not take type into account so Future Sight will still damage the partial dark type Spiritomb and Sableye. These instances prove that Wondereyes and Wondertombs are not invincible.

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

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

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

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

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

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

====NFE====
Not an actual tier, but a term used to describe Pokémon that are not fully evolved, and thus should not be used competitively until they evolve. There are some NFEs that can viably be used competitively, namely:
* {{p|Pikachu}} with [[Light Ball]]
* {{p|Magneton}}
* {{p|Scyther}}
* {{p|Porygon2}}
* {{p|Vigoroth}}
* {{p|Trapinch}} with {{a|Arena Trap}}
* {{p|Clamperl}} with [[DeepSeaTooth]]

Some NFEs do exactly the same as their evolution. These may also be used competitively, but only in lower [[tier]]s than their evolution. For example, {{p|Chansey}} can be used in UU because its evolution {{p|Blissey}} is in OU, which makes it banned from UU. Another example of this is {{p|Munchlax}} in NU.

== Ooooo...SaTaN ==

Okay, I'm close to coming down hard on whoever put that thing about Satan in there. If somebody thinks Darkrai is a Satanic Pokémon, they can keep it to themselves. It's fan-made CRAP and it has no place on Bulbapedia. That is the only evidence to support it is probably coincidental. Going by this thinking, any Pokémon that can learn [[Pursuit]] is "Satanic," and {{p|Politoed}} can learn [[Pursuit]]! Jeez, people! Keep it on the forum! -[[User:Politoed666|Politoed666]] 00:35, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

==Pallet Town==

You start out in your room.There is a potion in your PC. Head down the stairs, '''your mom will say:''' ''Today is the day you get your first Pokémon and gain the ability to go onto Route 1''. In the lab, your rival is there, he says that Oak isn't there. Go to Route 1 and Oak will run up''', with your Mom!!. (they will stay one step away from you oak will be across from you, your mom will be next to you, this unfortunately blocks the exit so I hatched a plan that begins with oak taking one step forward to talk to you) ''' Oak will give you the "it isn't safe thing"''' and your mom will tell you that she meant get a pokemon ''then'' go to route 1. You follow them to the lab (well, you follow Oak, your mom follows you)(my plan finishes, oak walks away, you follow oak, that's why I made him step forward, to be able to walk away with you right behind him, and your mom will follow you as you pass her, ingenious)and your mom stops a step away from the door and tells you to go on (can't have the party organizer not at the party).'''

In the lab, Oak gives you and your rival a chance for a pokemon, there is a table with threee, you take one then your rival '''runs''' up (no running inside silly) and takes the super-effective one. '''Then Professor Oak walks (old man) up and takes the third (no stealing for you)''' When you try to leave, your rival battles you. He has a charmander level 5. '''When you leave the lab, your mom and a small croud of people are there to congratulate you, your mom takes a step forward and gives you a bag and that phone thingy from emerald that lets you battle gym leaders again.'''

==Route 1==
Go forward lots and lots, '''in the area that you are walking up (after the second grass patch, near the 2 jumpy things) 2 [[Team Rocket Grunts]] (Jessie and James, but you don't know that)(^o^) walk up (what, early game appearances are cool), they say: ''Move kid, we have a job to do in Pallet Town'', you move and they walk away towards Pallet Town.''' Go the rest of the way to Viridian city.

==Viridian City==
There's an old man blocking your way towards the north of the city. In the Pokemart, the shopkeeper will tell you that he has a package to be delivered to oak.

==Pallet Town... Again==
In Oak's lab, oak gets the package and gives you and your rival Pokedexes. Your Rival will run off and '''suddenly,''' ''Aaaaah'' '''will sound out, oak will say:''' ''That sound came from my Granddaughter's house, come on''. '''You will follow Oak to Daisy's house (her house has been conveniently relocated next to the lab) and when you go in, the 2 grunts (Jessie and James, though you still don't know it) will look like this: T=Table corner M=Table corner with half a map D=Daisy J=Jessie A=James O=Oak M=Me R=Rival E=exit'''

Row 8 E

'''Your rival will turn to you and say:''' ''I couldn't beat them'' '''and oak will ask you to team up with your rival to beat them, you must agree and your rival and you will both step forward to battle them (this conveniently clears the door so that we can have some running outside, it also clears one side of you so that you can move aside, clever I know), they reveal that they are Team Rocket (but they keep their names confidential) and tell you that they require a Town Map do steal several valuable items and this is the only place to get one. then they battle you, double battle style! They have a {{p|Koffing}} and {{p|Ekans}}, level 8 and will be referred to as "Team Rocket Grunts" your rival will have a {{p|Charmander}} lv 8. beat them and oak says:''' ''I'll go get the police'' '''and runs out (see, I told you that clearing access to let oak out was a good idea) then "the grunts" look at eachother and Jessie tells james to get the map, James runs forward, gets the map, says''' ''let's go'' '''then jessie and james both run towards you and you move out of the way (see, good old free space, also my idea) then your rival looks at you, takes a step forward, says:''' ''Um... [[User:Pokemonguy1|Pokémon lovers]] [[User talk:Pokemonguy1|Any questions?]] 00:48, 2 May 2009 (UTC) ... thanks, well, smell ya later'' '''then he runs down and out. Daisy does the L shaped walk and thanks you by '''giving you a town map''' and by registering your rival on your cally thingy.'''

==Viridian City um.. haven't we been here before?==
There is an old man who gives you the old how to catch a pokemon lecture, if you go west, your rival will battle you with a level 10 charmander and a level 9 pidgey

==Viridian forest==
Same old...

==Pewter City==
Woohoo, finally, a gym battle but wait, what's this, another choice? You must choose.

===Pewter Gym===

'''Liam will see you when you walk right in front of that long column of Rocks, you may think that will block you but... no, he says:''' ''You can't battle my teacher till you beat me, you may want to know why I call him my teacher? Because I was trained by Brock himself'' '''When you win he tells you to go on and moves off to the side (if you're on one side, he moves to the other) and whenever you come in the gym from then on, he is off to the side.'''

'''Liam has:Geodude lv. 9 Sandshrew lv. 10'''
'''Brock Has a Geodude lv.12 and an Onix Lv. 14'''

===Museum===
'''Now this, you'll need to leave the city (ya ya it's only 50 pokédollars). When you go in, you will see the Moon Stone with the 2 grunts (Jessie and James though you still don't know it) looking at it (The Stone is only 2 spaces large so they take up the whole thing). Talk to them or else you'll have to come back again and now you could of gotten an antidote for that money. When you talk to them they say:''' ''Oh no, you're here. We were planing on stealing this Moon Stone for lots of money but now that you're here we gotta bolt. See ya!'' '''They run away and you automatically walk up to the side of the Moon Stone furthest from the entrance. You read the description (it says:''' ''The Moon Stone. This rare stone was found thousands of years ago in Mt.Moon, it is said to have mystical powers.'' '''Once you read the description, Giovanni (In his Black suit/the one that you see him in in the game, yes it matters) will come up to the other space of the Moon stone and say: (looking at the stone, not you, How rude)''' ''Those criminals were right, this Moon Stone would fetch a lot of money, though stealing it would be wrong...'' '''An exclamation point appears above his head and he turns to you. ''Sorry, I didn't see you there. Yes this Moon Stone is worth a lot but as I said, it is wrong to steal and I'm glad you stopped them. Wait, sorry, I haven't properly introduced myself. I am Giovanni, Viridian City Gym Leader. I can see by your Stone Badge that you are a Gym challenger, maybe we will meet some day, but no day soon as I have very important business to attend to. Well it was very nice meeting you [[User:Pokemonguy1|Pokémon lovers]] [[User talk:Pokemonguy1|Any questions?]] 00:48, 2 May 2009 (UTC), but I have to go, bye'' '''He leaves and you can finally leave Pewter City.'''

==Route 3==
Nothin new...

===Pokémon Center===
Would you look at this, there's a pokemon center here! Well ladidadidadi...skip the magikarp seller...dadida *exclamation point* (!) There is no real exclamation point on the person's head, this is just added information as commentary by Pokemonguy1, and does not represent any part of the game whatsoever. Anyways, that taken care of, the exclamation point was for the fact that '''Brock is right next to the spot that you stand to heal your pokemon (what really creeps me out is how he got here so fast) You don't have to talk to him but if you do, he will tell you the legend of the ancient pokemon, how they lived in mt. moon in the olden times and how he plans to find them, then he leaves.'''

==Mt Moon==
O.K. nothings different except that instead of that one grunt before the super nerd, '''there are 2 (you can guess which) and they battle you because they are sad because they couldn't find any fossils (meanwhile the guy like 6 steps ahead of them has 2). Also, after you beat the game, Brock is off very deep in the mountain and he will tell you that he found hundreds of each type of fossil and he will give you the one you don't have.'''

==Cerulean City==

===Gym===
'''You failed, closed (a sign says she's on a date by bill's cottage)! But when you come back...

But before you do this...

===Nugget Bridge, Rival===
Name says it all, the only difference is that the grunt at the end '''stays a grunt'''.

==Bill's House==
This house has a '''Misty (and a boy) out front staring at the lake, Misty puts up an exclamation point then goes back to the gym after telling you she's on a date, then her "boyfriend" follows. Bill hasn't changed.

===Cerulean Police Investigation House===
'''Before you beat misty, the police officer in front of it won't let you through, after however, the officer and (OMG) his Growlithe are battling James (still a grunt in your eyes) alone (alleluia, I thought they were joined at the hip...) and his koffing Team Aqua/Team Magma at Mt.Chimney style right next to the door. Go into the house and the officer will ask you to stop the other grunt. Go out back and Jessie is there, she tells you that Team Rocket wants to make money by selling TMs and Battles you. When you win, James comes in and tells her that he beat the police officer and that they have to go, the screen goes black and they disapear. The officer comes in and tells you what a TM is and wonders why Team Rocket wants it.'''

==Vermillion City==
Vermillion city has, the gym (same as before) and the SS Anne. The S.S Anne, has the rival battle and then you go up and see''' the captain and Lt. Surge facing the 2 grunts then your rival runs up the stairs.''' S=Stairs L=Lt.Surge R=Rival C=Captain Y=You J=Jessie A=James

The your rival does the "smell ya later" line and leaves then 2 police officers walk in, they ask what happened and Lt.Surge tells them, they connect the TM thievery to this (HM thievery) then leave, Surge introduces himself and leaves,''' the captain gives you cut.

==Celadon City==
Gym=same, '''there is now a perfume shop that you must go to before battling the gym (there is a lovesick man blocking the entrance saying that he will wait forever till Erica returns from the perfume shop). In the shop, erica sees you, gives you a sample and then leaves to the gym.'''

===Rocket Gemecorner===
In the new gamecorner, '''the 2 grunts (Jessie and James) are guarding "the Bosses" room, they complain that you forced the boss to confine them to the bases then battle you. Then you go into the boss's room and see... a guy in an orange suit (see told you the black suit thing mattered)! The guy does not reveal his name but he does battle you (under the name "Team Rocket Leader") then, when you win, he admits that he may have gone a bit to hard on the 2 grunts and that he will give them one more test mission, then the screen goes black and when it goes white again, he is gone.'''
==Lavender Town==
Same thing '''except at the top is the 2 grunts (apparently this is their mission) and they tell you that Cubone skulls are high on the market these days. Beat them, they run.'''

==Saffron City==
In Saffron the only difference is that '''The 2 grunts are once again guarding the boss's room and once again they have been confined. Then you see the boss (still in his orange (anime) suit). He is talking with the president and he has sabrina yelling at him, a grunt is next to him and you do your first (and last) with a gym leader double battle (sabrina and you vs. Giovanni and grunt) you win giovanni leaves'''

==Fuchsia City==
'''In the safari zone, 2 grunts run by with a kanghaskan between them, then Koga runs through after them, you hear a crash and the baby Kanghaskan runs back through the path.'''

==Cinnabar Island==
'''This island has the 2 grunts receiving a shipment of fossils from a burglar, then you see them in the lab trying to reanimate those fossils, but blaine is there and he argues no with them (and wins). '''

==Viridian City what is this, the third time?==
In Giovanni's gym, he is in his black suit arguing with Agatha, she says that she will close the gym unless he stops being absent, she sees you then walks away. Giovanni speaks to you and (for some reason) thinks that you have figured out his secret identity, he does the spin switch thing into his orange suit then back again and battles you. When you win, he will warn you to go to the pokemon center and he will disapear forever (hehehe). In the center, Jessie and James are there and this time they are actually there with names (they reveal their names just as meowth runs in, they tell you that once they got meowth, the boss promoted them). Finally, they battle you with very powerful pokemon (the first triple battle/Arbok + Weezing + Meowth) when you win, they complain that they got promoted just as team rocket was disbanded.

==Victory Road==
Bruno is near the end here, he tells you that you are almost there.

==Indigo Plateau==
At the end, Lance (not your rival) takes you to the hall of fame.

==Sevii Islands==
nuttin changed except that now on 4 island, you battle with lorelei (double battle) against the grunts. Also on the five island rocket warehouse, the 2 admins double battle you, the girls pokemon each get bumped up a level and they have names (blass and tough Blasstough > Blastough > Blastofgh > Blastofg > Blastoff).

==The Legendary Pokémon==
===Articuno===
In the seafoam islands before you beat the game, it is blocked by a rockfall, but after, there is a guy there with a bunch of grunts looking at Articuno, he says his name is Frost(the ice guy from shadows of Almia with a new name) and that he is going to capture articuno. Beat him (he's got an arbok, a weezing, and a Jynx) he battles you with 2 grunts so it's the second triple battle. then he loses and captures articuno, then he runs.

===Zapdos===
In the power plant before you beat the game, it is blocked by an engineer, but after, there is a guy there with a bunch of grunts looking at Zapdos, he says his name is spark(the electric guy from shadows of Almia with a new name) and that he is going to capture zapdos. Beat him (he's got an arbok, a weezing, and an electabuzz) he battles you with 2 grunts so it's the third triple battle. then he loses and captures zapdos, then he runs.

===Moltres===
In Mt.Ember before you beat the game, it is blocked by a rock, but after, there is a guy there with a bunch of grunts looking at Moltres, he says his name is Ember(the fire guy from shadows of Almia with a new name) and that he is going to capture moltres. Beat him (he's got an arbok, a weezing, and a magmar) he battles you with 2 grunts so it's the fourth triple battle. then he loses and captures moltres, then he runs.

===Mewtwo===
In cerulean cave that guy is blocking the entrance. All three birds are there and so iis a weird woman. You battle all three admins (frost, spark, ember) at once (fifth triple battle). they then free the birds in acts of remorse and then the woman (who calls herself Madame Boss) battles you as a machine starts up, she brags about having created the ultimate pokemon. You win, mewtwo is created, he starts to destroy the world and then the birds come and stop him, Madame boss tells you to battle mewtwo (good luck). then, she cries and tries to get the data of mewtwo back to retry to create it again but this time right. But Giovanni (black suit) comes in and calls her "mom" and begs her to stop, so she does.

===Mew===
If you ever come back, there will be a mew in the place of the machine.

==Pallet Town==

You start out in your room.There is a potion in your PC. Head down the stairs, '''your mom will say:''' ''Today is the day you get your first Pokémon and gain the ability to go onto Route 1''. In the lab, your rival is there, he says that Oak isn't there. Go to Route 1 and Oak will run up''', with your Mom!!. (they will stay one step away from you oak will be across from you, your mom will be next to you, this unfortunately blocks the exit so I hatched a plan that begins with oak taking one step forward to talk to you) ''' Oak will give you the "it isn't safe thing"''' and your mom will tell you that she meant get a pokemon ''then'' go to route 1. You follow them to the lab (well, you follow Oak, your mom follows you)(my plan finishes, oak walks away, you follow oak, that's why I made him step forward, to be able to walk away with you right behind him, and your mom will follow you as you pass her, ingenious)and your mom stops a step away from the door and tells you to go on (can't have the party organizer not at the party).'''

In the lab, Oak gives you and your rival a chance for a pokemon, there is a table with threee, you take one then your rival '''runs''' up (no running inside silly) and takes the super-effective one. '''Then Professor Oak walks (old man) up and takes the third (no stealing for you)''' When you try to leave, your rival battles you. He has a charmander level 5. '''When you leave the lab, your mom and a small croud of people are there to congratulate you, your mom takes a step forward and gives you a bag and that phone thingy from emerald that lets you battle gym leaders again.'''

==Route 1==
Go forward lots and lots, '''in the area that you are walking up (after the second grass patch, near the 2 jumpy things) 2 [[Team Rocket Grunts]] (Jessie and James, but you don't know that)(^o^) walk up (what, early game appearances are cool), they say: ''Move kid, we have a job to do in Pallet Town'', you move and they walk away towards Pallet Town.''' Go the rest of the way to Viridian city.

==Viridian City==
There's an old man blocking your way towards the north of the city. In the Pokemart, the shopkeeper will tell you that he has a package to be delivered to oak.

==Pallet Town... Again==
In Oak's lab, oak gets the package and gives you and your rival Pokedexes. Your Rival will run off and '''suddenly,''' ''Aaaaah'' '''will sound out, oak will say:''' ''That sound came from my Granddaughter's house, come on''. '''You will follow Oak to Daisy's house (her house has been conveniently relocated next to the lab) and when you go in, the 2 grunts (Jessie and James, though you still don't know it) will look like this: T=Table corner M=Table corner with half a map D=Daisy J=Jessie A=James O=Oak M=Me R=Rival E=exit'''

They have a {{p|Koffing}} and {{p|Ekans}}, level 8 and will be referred to as "Team Rocket Grunts" your rival will have a {{p|Charmander}} lv 8. beat them and oak says:''' ''I'll go get the police'' '''and runs out (see, I told you that clearing access to let oak out was a good idea) then "the grunts" look at eachother and Jessie tells james to get the map, James runs forward, gets the map, says''' ''let's go'' '''then jessie and james both run towards you and you move out of the way (see, good old free space, also my idea) then your rival looks at you, takes a step forward, says:''' ''Um... [[User:Pokemonguy1|Pokémon lovers]] [[User talk:Pokemonguy1|Any questions?]] 00:48, 2 May 2009 (UTC) ... thanks, well, smell ya later'' '''then he runs down and out.

'''This island has the 2 grunts receiving a shipment of fossils from a burglar, then you see them in the lab trying to reanimate those fossils, but blaine is there and he argues no with them (and wins). '''

==Viridian City what is this, the third time?==
In Giovanni's gym, he is in his black suit arguing with Agatha, she says that she will close the gym unless he stops being absent, she sees you then walks away. Giovanni speaks to you and (for some reason) thinks that you have figured out his secret identity, he does the spin switch thing into his orange suit then back again and battles you. When you win, he will warn you to go to the pokemon center and he will disapear forever (hehehe). In the center, Jessie and James are there and this time they are actually there with names (they reveal their names just as meowth runs in, they tell you that once they got meowth, the boss promoted them). Finally, they battle you with very powerful pokemon (the first triple battle/Arbok + Weezing + Meowth) when you win, they complain that they got promoted just as team rocket was disbanded.

==Victory Road==
Bruno is near the end here, he tells you that you are almost there.

==Indigo Plateau==
At the end, Lance (not your rival) takes you to the hall of fame.

==Sevii Islands==
nuttin changed except that now on 4 island, you battle with lorelei (double battle) against the grunts. Also on the five island rocket warehouse, the 2 admins double battle you, the girls pokemon each get bumped up a level and they have names (blass and tough Blasstough > Blastough > Blastofgh > Blastofg > Blastoff).

==The Birds==
===Articuno===
In the seafoam islands before you beat the game, it is blocked by a rockfall, but after, there is a guy there with a bunch of grunts looking at Articuno, he says his name is Frost(the ice guy from shadows of Almia with a new name) and that he is going to capture articuno. Beat him (he's got an arbok, a weezing, and a Jynx) he battles you with 2 grunts so it's the second triple battle. then he loses and captures articuno, then he runs.

===Zapdos===
In the power plant before you beat the game, it is blocked by an engineer, but after, there is a guy there with a bunch of grunts looking at Zapdos, he says his name is spark(the electric guy from shadows of Almia with a new name) and that he is going to capture zapdos. Beat him (he's got an arbok, a weezing, and an electabuzz) he battles you with 2 grunts so it's the third triple battle. then he loses and captures zapdos, then he runs.

===Moltres===
In Mt.Ember before you beat the game, it is blocked by a rock, but after, there is a guy there with a bunch of grunts looking at Moltres, he says his name is Ember(the fire guy from shadows of Almia with a new name) and that he is going to capture moltres. Beat him (he's got an arbok, a weezing, and a magmar) he battles you with 2 grunts so it's the fourth triple battle. then he loses and captures moltres, then he runs.

===Mewtwo===
In cerulean cave that guy is blocking the entrance. All three birds are there and so iis a weird woman. You battle all three admins (frost, spark, ember) at once (fifth triple battle). they then free the birds in acts of remorse and then the woman (who calls herself Madame Boss) battles you as a machine starts up, she brags about having created the ultimate pokemon. You win, mewtwo is created, he starts to destroy the world and then the birds come and stop him, Madame boss tells you to battle mewtwo (good luck). then, she cries and tries to get the data of mewtwo back to retry to create it again but this time right. But Giovanni (black suit) comes in and calls her "mom" and begs her to stop, so she does.

===Mew===
If you ever come back, there will be a mew in the place of the machine.

==RE:Archives==
Im a bit confuzzled by what you said on my page--[[User:David aipom|Davidaipom]] 19:40, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
:See the "move" button at the top of most pages, between "history" and "watch" (or "unwatch" in some cases)? When you archive, the best thing to do is click on that button and move the page to <code>User:David aipom/Archive N</code> or something. That way, the history of the page is preserved with the archive, so people can go back and look at that more easily. In the meantime, your new page starts more or less completely from scratch, so all the stupid comments and two-day-old arguments some jerk puts on your page don't even show up in the history.
:I don't think there's anything wrong with your way; that is to say, there's no reason to try to do it now, as that'll probably screw things up.

==Help==
Hi! I need some help.
I'm trying to update some Pokémon learnsets with platinum level up Moves.
Everything is going fine in the Pokémon pages, but I can't seem to update the Move page correctly, since I can't put a platinum mark on the Pokémon when updating the learnset list. To illustrate what I mean, see the difference between the {{p|Glaceon}} and {{m|Barrier}} pages.
I tried doing it by repeating the format of other pages and looking at some tutoring pages, but I just can't figure it out.
Thanks in advance.--{{u|Mr. Charlie}} 20:01, 13 September 2008 (GMT)

:So, I will wait until the new templates are ready to be used and then start updating the moves pages. Or should I update now putting the templates as if they existed?--{{u|Mr. Charlie}} 21:55, 13 September 2008 (GMT)

::Great, thanks again. I'll do a little more, and update pages like {{m|Bug Bite}}, then I might take a break. I got too excited about it, I'm strangely happy about Caterpie getting a new move. It inspired me to work.--{{u|Mr. Charlie}} 24:18, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

How are the platinum level-up moves supposed to be listed in Pokémon pages?--'''[[User:Diby|Di]]'''[[User talk:Diby|b]][[Special:Contributions/Diby|y]] 10:54, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
:On top of the DP ones. Put them where they would normally be by order of level-up; just be sure you use the twelfth (I think it's twelfth...) field to specify which games you're referring to. For example, on {{p|Glaceon}}'s page, you'll notice how it learns {{m|Barrier}} by level-up at lv. 78 in Platinum only, because the twelfth field has a Pt in it to denote that. If it learns a move in did in DP at a different level in Pt, put in both and use the switch to denote the different games.

::::Yes, people ''should'' read the Messages from the Editor, but sadly, a lot of people don't bother to read it.

Surely 1 revert edit isnt a war.

Hey, yeah regarding your last edit to the template, changing all those links from using {{red link|Template:La}} to normal, which was actually what it was before {{u|EspeonA}} changed them to use the la template, just wondering which is the right process? The la template seems to be used in many other places.     -–<×vVvvv [[User talk:S1tHSL4y3r|τλικ]] to [[User:S1tHSL4y3r|ς1tHςι4γ3r]] ^^vVv×>–- 07:50, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
:[[User:Maverick Nate|Mav]] deleted {{red link|Template:Fi}} on the grounds that it was "lazy," and since La is similar to that, I figured we should phase it out.

::::I personally think Template:La and Template:Fi aren't lazy at all, since they still require you to write out the words that are needed to use correctly. Template:Soa is lazy, because it uses no effort at all to link {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}, but <nowiki>{{la|Colosseum Leader|Taylor}} is easier than [[Colosseum Leader Taylor|Taylor]]</nowiki> because it avoids having to retype the same things over again. In fact, to me, it's just a nifty template that's similar to linking <nowiki>[[Colosseum Leader Taylor]]</nowiki> except it shows up as just [[Taylor]] instead of [[Colosseum Leader Taylor]]. [[Special:Contributions/EspeonA|—]] '''[[User_talk:EspeonA|e]][[User:EspeonA|A]]''' 23:15, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
:::::<big>S</big>till, it's not that too hard to just type the name an extra time, because templates, even if it's by an incy little bit, still affect server speed, and when you get heaps of templates and pages all interlinking with each other, especially if templates start being used for all sorts of 'lazy' reasons, (no matter how handy it becomes), it's not a good idea.

:::::Also, the {{template|Ci}} template, does that get used anymore? Just that I've never actually seen it being used myself.     -–<×vVvvv [[User talk:S1tHSL4y3r|τλικ]] to [[User:S1tHSL4y3r|ς1tHςι4γ3r]] ^^vVv×>–- 00:06, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
::::::I always see {{template|Ci}} used whenever there's a contest going on or something.. Like, {{ci|Pacifidlog}} [[Pokémon Contest]] or {{ci|Hearthome}} [[Ribbon]]. That goes for {{template|To}} too. I can't remember any other times it's used off the top of my head. [[Special:Contributions/EspeonA|—]] '''[[User_talk:EspeonA|e]][[User:EspeonA|A]]''' 05:14, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
:::::::Strictly speaking, we don't ''need'' any of the LTs, as it's easy enough to write out <nowiki>[[Psychic (move)|]]</nowiki>, which becomes [[Psychic (move)|Psychic]]. The only ones we really ''should'' use are {{template|p}}, {{template|m}}, {{template|a}}, and {{template|t}} (although we often use {{template|type2}} instead), as that way, people are more likely to remember the parentheticals. {{template|g}} and {{template|pkmn}} allow us to avoid hunting down the e-acute for Pokémon in some cases. Other than those, they're mostly for convenience. I'm not immune from this laziness myself; I designed {{template|badge}} because of all the badge links that work like that. But templates like {{template|DL}} and especially {{template|OBP}} bother me. At that point, it's almost as easy to write out the link as it is to use the template.

:I don't know if I'm a high enough power to give that permission, especially since I'm sort of out-of-the-loop as admins go. Personally, I'm a little more comfortable with that particular template, as it does have a specific purpose and save a few keystrokes. Not many, though. I'd suggest asking TTE, who Mav says has a system for determining what is or isn't laziness template (although I'd rather he not blame me for filling his talk page, so maybe you should e-mail or PM him instead). --[[User:Martonimos|((Marton]] [[User talk:Martonimos|imos))]] 22:26, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

From About.com[http://parentingteens.about.com/cs/designerdrugs/l/blketamine2.htm]

'''What is Ketamine?'''

'''Slang or Street Names: Special K''', K, Vitamin K, Cat Valiums Ketamine is an injectable anesthetic that has been approved for both human and animal use in medical settings since 1970. About 90 percent of the ketamine legally sold today is intended for veterinary use.

Ketamine is produced in liquid form or as a white powder that is often snorted or smoked with marijuana or tobacco products. In some cities (Boston, New Orleans, and Minneapolis/St. Paul, for example), ketamine is reportedly being injected intramuscularly.

At higher doses, ketamine can cause delirium, amnesia, impaired motor function, high blood pressure, depression, and potentially fatal respiratory problems.
Low-dose intoxication from ketamine results in impaired attention, learning ability, and memory.

After much splurging on eBay, I've got way more scans, including [http://alamedyang.livejournal.com/1702.html these].

"different quality" images that are not inadequate as such, but (I think) not as good as my scans. The issue is that they say stuff like they were "donated by the very lovely people at _______" and I don't want to insultingly change all these images all over the place, and yet... >_< I'm not very good at this wiki stuff.

Yo, I'm out for most of the day but I've uploaded all the drafts I made that PokéBeach posted scans for. I knew they'd come in handy.

I'm going to try to get as many images for them uploaded into the archives, however, and they'll be in [[a:Category:Platinum|Category:Platinum]] at the Archives. As for sources, all remaining cards are from Galactic's Conquest except the following:
*'''Entry Pack DPt:''' #37 Palkia, #38 Shaymin, #49 Grotle, #56 Monferno, #59 Prinplup, #60 Probopass, #68 Carnivine, #70 Chimchar, #71 Combee, #79 Lapras, 84 Nosepass, #85 Piplup, #98 Tauros, #100 Torkoal. I'm pretty sure that's all of them.
*'''Giratina vs Dialga Deck Kit:''' #111 Miasma Valley.

Hi, Maverick. Could you delete [[Potpourri Island]] and move [[Popuri Island]] into "Potpourri Island" (yes, it's the same place).

So can you give me some links, going through which, I can learn a thing or two about the do-s and don't-s about editing these pages. I would also like to know how a user like me (who don't get to play the TCG) can help Project TCG. Thanks.--''[[User:Sher-e-Bengal|Sher]]-e-[[User_talk:Sher-e-Bengal|Bengal]]''- 04:36, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
:Template:G was ruled as a laziness template, and I would prefer that it is not used in my project. Also, the only link that would do any good would be the non-existant TCG Mos, (which I will still have to write). I know nothing about the TFG, but I do believe that a new set of Figures is in limbo for release, and those will probably need pages soon. There are some plans I have for project TCG, but most of the things are done, all we are doing now is catching up on mini-projects that are somewhat just fix wording if you find it and such. My side of the TCG is kind of complete/put off until we get other things done, so you will probably have better luck asking Politoed666 if you could help with the Deck side of the TCG. Sorry.

==Multiple Edits==
The reason I am making multiple edits is because I couldn't find the edit mode. On the wiki I am used to, it is on the left side-bar, but on this wiki it is not there. So I was going through and editing things one section at a time. Though, I think I see it now, on the top of the page, so that shouldn't happen again.

Also, I deleted the new user-info off of my talk page, but not anything that Rex said to me. At least, I did not mean to delete anything that rex said to me. {{unsigned|Jacobe}}
:well, not all wikis are the same and im inclined to think youre not even entirely familiar how a wiki works. you removed the welcome template, which is against the rules, but, you should probably actually look through the template and read on our policies and general rules of editing. also, you dont have to go to someone elses page to comment, it breaks up the conversation. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 00:58, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

== Togepi evolution line gender ratios ==

I'm sorry, but 223 is not the correct gendercode for {{p|Togepi}} and its evolution line. If it were, the line's gender ratio would be 87.5% favoring female (to which 223 is that ratio's gendercode), thus making [[Fein]]'s shadow {{p|Togetic}} very easy to obtain as a female. However, the evolution line's actual gender ratio is 87.5% favoring male (this ratio's gendercode is 31), which means the shadow Togetic is an absolute ***** to try to get female. I don't see how you honestly believed Togepi and its evolution line was female-dominated, especially given how Mystery Dungeon 1 portrayed Togetic and Blissey (a female-only species) as lovers in some Wonder Mail deliveries...--[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 04:38, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

::::All of them together is kind of <s>not generic</s> abnormal. BTW, all trivia is useless. That doesn't make it bad. --[[User:Politoed666|ニョロトノ]][[User talk:Politoed666|''666'']] 00:51, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
:::::I don't seem to be able to recall any other Pokémon that have curved objects attached to their heads, with the possible exceptions of Pinsir, Tauros, and Heracross's horns. Actually, I should've worded that better to exclude horns, as neither sickles nor bananas are horns. I'll give you that much. Now, I'll go over the trivia and see how generic it is.

*Introduced in Gen. III. That applies to a good number of Pokémon. Fairly generic.
*In their first games, were only found on one route each, rarely, and said routes had rainfall and their north exits led to Fortree. Doesn't apply to anything else, with the POSSIBLE exception of Kecleon. Not generic in the least.
*No evolutions. Roughly 90% of Pokémon are involved in evolution. Somewhat generic.
*Uncommon type combos. Applies to some Pokémon, depending on type. Slightly generic.
*Colo. shadow Pokémon, level in high 40s, Realgam colosseum. Only applies to 4 Pokémon total, as Metagross was lv. 50 and T-Tar lv. 55. Not generic.
*Curved object on head. I should've worded it differently to exclude horns. Generic.
*One ability initially, given another in Gen. IV, shares ability w/2-member evo family where stone is needed, and lowest form comes from Gen. II, and all of them share a type, plus the flying thing, and the letter S and two-word name. I don't think it applies to anything else. Couldn't get less generic than this.
*Quadrupedal. Possibly the most generic piece of trivia here.
*Not in original Sinnoh dex, but in Platinum's expansion. Applies to almost 60 Pokémon. Kinda generic.
*Jap and English names identical. Applies to a fair amount of Pokémon. Fairly generic.

In review, it seems that a few of these are somewhat generic. However, you can't deny I've found a stunning amount of similarities. I think a compromise could work here: I could re-add only the non-generic trivia. What say you? I'm [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]].

EVERYONE RUN!" whenever you see someone with a larger-then-normal suitcase.
:We're not censoring you, we're just making sure you don't do damage to the website when you say stuff. Say whatever you like, just do it all in one edit, please! Or at least attempt to.

==Hi==
I noticed you have been editing the <code>User:</code> namespace a lot today. You may not be aware of this, but Bulbapedia has a {{Bulbapedia|Userspace policy}} that asks users to try and minimize the number of Userspace edits they make in a short period of time. Instead of making multiple edits, why not use the Preview button (Alt + Shift + P) located right next to the edit button to look at your page and see how it is coming? That way, your page can look great while staying within the required amount of edits. Just wait until tomorrow, ok? Thanks! ----[[Flash Fire (ability)|freezing]][[Heat Wave (move)|COLD]] ([[user:Cold|page]], [[User talk:Cold|talk]]) 20:34, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Is it really necessary to create misspelled redirects?--[[Flash Fire (ability)|freezing]][[Heat Wave (move)|COLD]] ([[user:Cold|page]], [[User talk:Cold|talk]]) 23:47, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
:I believe so. And 'Poison' is a quite common mispelled word. But if you want me to stop, I will. --'''[[User:Theryguy512|Theryguy]][[User Talk:Theryguy512|512]]''' 23:48, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

== [[Mankey]] redirect ==

The entire reason it wasn't a disambig is because Ash caught his {{TP|Ash|Primeape}} directly in that stage of evolution. The fact that it evolved onscreen doesn't change the fact that Ash caught it afterward; it never belonged to Ash in the Mankey stage. The only way that Mankey would be a Pokémon that belonged to Ash before evolving, which is what your disambig listing said, is if Ash had caught it before it evolved, which didn't happen.

For the record, an unrelated Mankey Ash caught in the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga is pretty much unnotable since Ash quickly traded it for a bogus map. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 04:43, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

::OK to insert false information? Anyone who knows anything knows Ash didn't catch the Pokémon in question until ''after'' it had evolved into Primeape. Ergo Ash never owned a Mankey in the anime, which is what that disambig was implying. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 04:48, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

:::I am aware of that. But due to the fact the Primeape WAS a Mankey in the beginning of the episode, TTE gave me full permission to create the disambig. He also allowed me to make [[Spearow]]. --'''[[User:Theryguy512|Theryguy]][[User Talk:Theryguy512|512]]''' 14:01, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Pokemongirl1: /* In the games */

[[Image:GabbyandTy.JPG|thumb|Art of Gabby and Ty from the TCG.]]

'''Gabby''' (Japanese: '''マリ''' ''Mari'') and '''Ty''' (Japanese: '''ダイ''' ''Dai'') are a pair of co-workers who can be found making interviews all over [[Hoenn]]. Gabby is an interviewer and Ty is her trusty cameraman.

==In the games==
Gabby and Ty appear in various places around Hoenn in {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, on [[Route 120]], [[Route 118]] or [[Route 111]]. They will battle the main character of the game, then give a short inteview asking for a word. The results of the battle will later be broadcast on televisions across the region. In [[Generation IV]], a reporter named Kristin will appear in Master Contest and she holds a Magneton. People believe this is Gabby.

===Pokémon===
This listing is for Gabby and Ty's Pokémon in the video games in which they have appeared.

==In the Pokémon Special manga==
Gabby and Ty are also featured as fairly important supporting characters in the [[Pokémon Special]] manga, in the Chuang Yi translation they are called '''Maryann''' and '''Tyler'''. They worked at a TV station run by [[Archie]], unknown to most of the public as the leader of [[Team Aqua]].

At first, they met {{Special|Sapphire}} when she had to fetch [[Mr. Stone]]'s {{p|Castform}} from being stuck in a fountain. Gabby offered to interview Sapphire, but the girl said she didn't like TV and refused. The whole thing was a plot by Team Aqua to kidnap the president of [[Devon Corporation]]. Mr. Stone was injured in the attack, and Castform was left with Gabby and Ty. They discovered that the criminals were really after the [[Devon Goods]] needed by [[Captain Stern]].

Despite their insistence that Mr. Stone had been attacked by men dressed like pirates, Archie ran the story that he was actually injured by wild Pokémon.

Gabby and Ty tracked down Captain Stern and explained the situation to him. [[Norman]] happened to be there as well, looking for his son, {{Special|Ruby}}, who had saved Captain Stern from Team Magma members. Norman discovered where Ruby had last been, and Gabby and Ty decided to follow him.

They tracked Norman and Ruby to the [[Weather Institute]] on [[Route 119]]. The area was experiencing heavy rainfall. Norman and and Ruby were engaged in a rough and dangerous battle on the slippery staircases of the Weather Institute. Gabby pleaded with Castform to do something, so the little Pokémon used {{m|Sunny Day}} to clear up the weather. Although it stopped the battle, Ruby and Norman nearly plummeted to their deaths, but were saved at the last moment by Ruby's [[Running Shoes]].

Ruby and Norman resolved their conflict and the duo drove the young [[Pokémon Coordinator]] to the [[Rank#Main series|Normal Rank]] [[Contest House]] in [[Verdanturf Town]], as Norman was called back to his gym by [[Winona]]. Castform had been lonely ever since Mr. Stone had been hurt, so Gabby decided to give it to Ruby.

Gabby, Ruby and Ty all saw a mysterious {{p|Absol}} near [[Rusturf Tunnel]] before Ruby ended up in another conflict with [[Team Magma]]. Gabby and Ty then drove Ruby to the other Contest House in [[Fallarbor Town]] and discovered that [[Mt. Chimney]] had recently gone dead. While Ruby was taking part in the contests, they went to [[Professor Cozmo|Professor Cozmo's]] laboratory to investigate the events. To their shock, they discovered for some reason, their TV station refused to report this big news to the public.

Gabby called her boss to ask why this news story wasn't being covered, but [[Archie]] said he didn't want to cause the public to panic. Confused, the two interviewers parted ways with Ruby to investigate the Hoenn crisis further.

Gabby and Ty returned to their Hoenn TV headquarters in [[Lilycove City]]; there they witnessed Archie and [[Maxie]] battling each other. Gabby finally realized that Archie was the head of Team Aqua and had been airing exaggerated news of Team Magma's deeds while refusing to address Team Aqua's actions.

Later, Absol took them to Sootopolis.

==Trivia==
*Mesprit is somewhat unique among the members of its trio, as it leaves [[Lake Verity]] to [[Roaming Pokémon|roam]] [[Sinnoh]] after being found. This is somewhat similar to how {{p|Suicune}} was treated in {{v|Crystal}}, although the opposite was true then, as Suicune was the only one of the [[legendary beasts]] to be confronted and fought normally while the other two roamed [[Johto]].
**Also, in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]], Mesprit is the only one of the lake trio to fight the main character ''before'' the end of the main story.
*Despite being genderless in the main series games, Mesprit is referred to as a female in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]].
*Mesprit shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Kirlia}}. They are both known as Emotion Pokémon.
*Mesprit is the first [[Legendary Pokémon]] seen in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} of the {{pkmn|anime}}.
*Azelf's {{game|Pearl}} [[Pokédex]] entry mentions that Mespirit, {{p|Uxie}}, and {{p|Azelf}} emerged from the same {{pkmn|egg}}.
*Mesprit's {{v2|Platinum}} sprite is the only one of its trio to have the same tail pose as its Sugimori artwork.
===Origin===
Mesprit is based after a {{wp|spirit}} or a {{wp|sprite}} and the color {{wp|magenta}}. Mesprit and the rest of the trio could possibly have originated from the {{wp|Imperial Regalia of Japan}}, which are also called the Three Sacred Treasures. Mesprit would be the {{wp|Yasakani no Magatama}}, which embodies benevolence.
====Name origin====
The English name comes from the personal pronoun ''me'' and ''esprit'' (French for "spirit") or ''{{wp|Sprite (creature)|sprite}}''. Its Japanese name may come from the Japanese verb 笑む ''emu'', meaning ''to smile'', or ''emotion'', and ''esprit'' or ''sprite''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Vesprit
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Crefollet - From ''créer'' (create) and ''feu follet'' ({{wp|Will-o'-the-wisp|Will-O-Wisp}}, also the French translation for the {{M2|Will-O-Wisp|move of the same name}}).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 엠라이트 ''Emlight''

== WTF? ==

Giratina controls dimensions? That's stupid... can somebody remove that? Time and Space (depth, lengh and width) are the freaking dimensions everyone!!! So Giratina has more power than both Dialga and Palkia? I think not. Remember that Giratina lives in the Distortion World... a place that disobeys the laws of Time and Space. '''[[User:Hfc2x|hfc]][[User talk:Hfc2x|2X]]''' 22:26, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

There are 2 types of dimensions, matematical, which you were talking about, and spacial, which would be under Giratina's control. If you don't belive me, look up "Plane (metaphysics)" on Wikipedia. The dimensions that Giratina controls are '''alternate planes of exictence''', also called '''dimensions'''!- ''unsigned comment from {{u|GuyNamedSean}} ([[User talk:GuyNamedSean|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/GuyNamedSean|contribs]]){{ #if: | {{{2}}} |}}''
:It seems that Giratina can control gravity, or atleast that is how I enterpreted the explanation of its form shift. It also makes some sense because gravity could be considered a third factor in time-space [[User:Enigmaberry|Enigmaberry]] 02:29, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

== Bubbly Mew ==

Wherever I go, whatever I read that's about Mew or the first movie, it says something like "The Bubbly Mew appeared in the first move", or something like that. Now, why is it called "Bubbly Mew" and why is it just the Mew in the first movie? And where did that term of Bubbly Mew ever come from?--[[User:Dragonbeastx|DRAGON]][[User talk:Dragonbeastx|BEAST]][[User:Dragonbeastx/The Aura Spot|X]] 22:25, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
:Maybe it's that the Mew in the first movie enjoyed making bubbles. [[user:Simpsonsdude13| SD13 Simpsondude13>''']][[user talk:Simpsonsdude13|SD13 Talk]] 20:44, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
==Phione?==
Does Phione really count? And why not Unown? I always thought of the symbols as legends. Me and my fellow torchics agree on this - Sk8torchic
:Phione counts because to get one you have to breed a legendary. Unown doesn't because it's extremely distant from any other legendary. Note the beasts and the birds. Sure they're separated by the powerhouses and events by Dratini and Larvitar's families, but they're next to each other and divided from the others by no more than three Pokémon. Unown has 50 down and 42 up. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 23:41, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
::So all legends have to be near each other in the pokedex? Since when? Me and my fellow torchics agree on this - Sk8torchic 16:07, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

:::Besides, nobody would buy Unown being legendary, what with how they're found all over the place in the [[Ruins of Alph]], [[Tanoby Chambers]], and [[Solaceon Ruins]]. Trust me, in the time it takes to breed for one Phione, odds are one could catch 2 PC boxes entirely full of Unown (although there's no guarantee that all 28 forms would be included)...--[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 16:54, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

== Can we really stop saying that Rayquaza is based on a Ziz ==

It really isn't. The closest thing we have to a bird whose wingspan is large enough to block out the sun is Lugia, atleast according to the accounts of an elderly NPC in Ecruteak city.--[[User:Outrage DD|Outrage DD]] 22:05, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, that's it.

Excuse me, but do you mind that Jirachi's entry says that it's similiar to the Beanstar from Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga? I know the idea might be farfected, but it's a possiblity.--[[User:Pokencyclopedia|Pokencyclopedia]] 06:45, 6 September 2005 (CDT)

==Obtainable==
Should it be noted that Jirachi is obtainable via a special Pokemon Colosseum preview disk that came with Jirachi: Wish Maker? That's how I got my jirachi, a few years back. -- [[Image:Ani157MS.gif]][[User:Bug Catcher Jam|Chris]][[Image:Ani465MS.gif]] 03:50, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
:Or, to be more accurate, the [[Pokémon Colosseum Bonus Disc]]. -- [[Image:Ani157MS.gif]][[User:Bug Catcher Jam|Chris]][[Image:Ani465MS.gif]] 07:12, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, you get the Bonus Disc if you pre-ordered ''Colosseum''. I didn't pre-order, and I wanted a Jirachi so bad those four years ago. [[User:BlueJirachi|BlueJirachi]] 02:48, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
:At the time, my then girlfriend had the disk and gave me one. Still have it, in my Diamond PC.

==Welcome==
Welcome to [[Bulbapedia]], {{BASEPAGENAME}}!

As a new user, you may wish to learn a few things that will be useful in your editing:
*For a basic overview of wiki code, see [[Help:Editing|this page]].
*The {{bp|manual of style}} is very important. Make sure to read it. It outlines all official policies of Bulbapedia.
*The word [[Pokémon]] is spelled with a capital '''P''' and an accented '''é'''. The P, of course, is accessed easily by holding Shift and pressing the P key, while the é can be accessed using Alt + 130 or Alt + 0233 on a Windows computer, and Option + e, then e again on a Mac. Otherwise, you can click it in the character palette below the editbox.
*The word [[Poké Ball]] is spelled as two words. The "Poké" part is identical to the four beginning letters in "Pokémon"; "Ball" is spelled with a captial '''B''' (which is, again, accessed by holding Shift and pressing the B key). The spelling "Pokéball" arises frequently, but is incorrect.
*The word "you" and all forms of it should not be used on encyclopedic pages unless it is a quote from Pokémon or other media. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, not a walkthrough.
*On {{bp|talk page}}s, please sign your comments with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).
*The use of {{cat|link templates}} is official policy. For an explanation on their use, see the page on {{bp|shortlinks}}.
*If you happen to spot a vandal in the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] that has not been dealt with, please see {{bp|dealing with vandalism|this page}} for how to deal with it.
*A list of pages that are linked to, but have not been created, can be found at [[Special:Wantedpages|this page]]. A list of short articles that may require more information can be found {{cat|stubs|here}}, while a list of articles that need improvement can be found {{cat|articles needing improvement|here}}.
*For a future capture, release, trade, or evolution of a Pokémon belonging to a main character of the {{pkmn|anime}}, please do not create or move the page to reflect your suspicions, even if they are shared by many others. Policy here is to wait until the episode in which the event happens takes place is aired, unless there is substantial evidence for the suspicion (such as [[Brock's Happiny]] being held in his arms).
*Image uploading is done on [[Bulbagarden Archives]], a separate wiki accessible through the toolbox in the sidebar. You will have to register separately for it, as well. This is done so that both Bulbapedia and [[Bulbanews]] have access to the images uploaded.
*If you want to make a page about a character you made up, please create it at User:{{PAGENAME}}/(name), not merely (name). Bulbapedia's main namespace is reserved for ''actual, official Pokémon, items, characters, and locations''. Also, please try to make sure that subpages are not categorized by templates used within.
*Having said this, please make sure that you do contribute adequately to the main namespace. Bulbapedia is not MySpace or Facebook.
*A list of the admins that you can contact in case of a problem, can be found [[Special:Listusers/sysop|here]].

Thank you, and have a good time editing here! [[User:Tesh|'''TESH''']][[User_talk:Tesh|'''IGIGAS''']] 11:12, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Actually, it DID use Ice Beam against Team Rocket, that's why it's on the list. If it never used it, it wouldn't be on the list.

If I omitted or missed a thing, please correct my doing. --[[User:Kevzo8|Ke]][[Special:Contributions/Kevzo8|vz]][[User_talk:Kevzo8|o8]] 07:09, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Slow down on editing the <code>User:</code> namespace. There are only three userspace edits allowed per day, and you have gone over the limit. Editing your userpage too much will lead to it being locked again.

== [[Spearow]] ==
I am aware of the fact that Ash never technically owned a Spearow. However, when Ash first encountered [[Ash's Fearow|his Fearow,]] it WAS a {{p|Spearow}}. Due to this, TTE gave me full permission to create the page. He also gave me permission to create [[Mankey]] for the same reason. Also, in the manga, the Fearow was NEVER seen as a Spearow (At least as far as I know). --'''[[User:Theryguy512|Theryguy]][[User Talk:Theryguy512|512]]''' 14:17, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
:Ehh, it was a Spearow in the anime only which was not technically owned by Ash in the anime. However, in the manga, he owned the Fearow. The reason why I added "in the Electric Tale of Pikachu manga" part because it was never his in the anime, which might confuse the readers. But then again, it wasn't a Spearow in the manga, and that's why I said in the summary "the page doesn't make sense". Do you get my point? It was a Spearow in the anime that was never his, but it was his Fearow in the manga.. the relation of the canons.

{{incomplete}}
The '''Canalave Library''' is the only library in [[Sinnoh]] and it has shelves of books, containing [[Sinnoh myths|the myths of Sinnoh]]. It is on the north-west of [[Canalave City]] and it is the place the player, the {{ga|Pearl|rival}}, {{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}} and [[Professor Rowan]] meet up before the player goes to [[Lake Valor]]. There are three floors and when you get to the top to meet with Professor Rowan and Lucas/Dawn, there will be an earthquake. You will go down and proceed to Lake Acuity later. There are also several books that the player can read on the third floor.
