Should information about Blue/Green from the manga appearing in the opening be mentioned? According to Wikipedia: "''It is interesting to note that she [Green], Red, and Blue appeared in the original American Red and Blue pamphlets with their starter pokemon (she had her Squirtle, Red his Bulbasaur, and Blue his Charmander) but few knew who she was and she had her back to the reader. Also, in the beginning of the first anime series Pikachu runs between her legs (again, to the confusion of American viewers-she was never seen in the anime and was not explained, many thought she was just a Lass.)"'' [[User Talk:Matkin22|Matkin22]]

No! Bulbapedia isn't reliable source on the Point of Pokemon! It's full of fake informations and hopeless speculations! I'll never believe that she's Blue from PokeSpe! Look at her and Look at Blue! They don't ever look alike! I believe in popular speculation that she's plain Lass (miniskirt, cute clothing and really Lass-ish design) I have an early Sugimori Art of Lass and I also have the early Sugimori Art of Red, Green and Blue with their Starters so I know it better. Blue is seen only from behind but she has completely different hair and black clothes. So, we can be sure that she's not Blue. She's likely to be Lass. And a small Trivia. She is actually seen in anime. She's got a few cameos in few episodes in Pokemon Center and other crowded places (like the not-so-famous "Boy in Hat"). - [[User:Maxim|Maxim]]

== Lyrics source ==

Okay, I don't know what's Leo's lyrics database, but it's not the source. I wrote it down myself. So stop adding it. Thanx.--[[User:ElectAbuzzzz|ElectAbuzzzz]] 19:04, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

:Have these lyrics been checked with an official source? I thought it was "''teach'' Pokémon to understand", not "''each'' Pokémon to understand"... maybe I'm just tired, though. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 19:11, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

::Okay, not checked, but this one I'm 100% certain about. It says SEARCHING far and wide EACH pokemon. You know, like "Gotta catch 'em all"? Teach makes no sense.--[[User:ElectAbuzzzz|ElectAbuzzzz]] 19:28, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

:::I hear it as "''Teach'' Pokémon to understand the power that's inside." which makes a lot more sense to me than "''Each'' Pokémon to understand the power that's inside." --[[User:MoonHitler|MoonHitler]] 21:00, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

==Dragonforce?==

Where did the idea of Dragonforce playing the theme song come from? 0_0 --[[User:Jonouchi|Ricco]] 02:36, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

==Other Language Lyrics==

I was wondering if there was somewhere to post the lyrics for the song in other languages? I have the lyrics for the Arabic dub theme song, along with a YouTube link. Is there anywhere on the site to post lyrics in other languages? -- [[User:Zedd|Zedd]] 18:49, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
:No, we don't include lyrics other than in Japanese and English. If enough people disagree with this, though, maybe we'll bring the issue to a vote. --[[User:ElectAbuzzzz|'''electAbuzz''']][[User talk:ElectAbuzzzz|'''z''']][[Special:Contributions/ElectAbuzzzz|'''z''']] 19:37, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

== Video? ==

With the use of Template:YouTubeVid, It is now possible to play YouTube videos embedded onto pages. if a admin wont mind, I would be glad to add these videos to their respectful pages. [[User:ShinyPikachu|Shiny]][[Pikachu (Pokémon)|Pikachu]] 01:37, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
:Several levels of totally-not-legal which would get us into TRUBL. No. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 01:44, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

== Error ==

This article includes a bit on Meowth's missing fang in the opening. Considering that scene was used in the Mezase Pokemon Master opening, shouldn't that bit of trivia go there instead of here? [[User:Mudkipchan|Mudkipchan]] 16:15, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
:Maybe a head-on comparison should be in order. If we look at around 0:40-0:41 in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsMpOHR-cpE this video of the US opening], we see the fang missing as Meowth jumps into the frame. The comparable scene from the Japanese opening is in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMTBU_W9ZQk this video] from 0:45-0:46; however, the "missing fang" is obscured by the onscreen lyrics. (The visuals are what's important here; the needless censor bleeps in the first video and {{wp|Vuvuzela|what happens when you click the soccer ball}} in the second are not important in the least.)

:My [[$1|2¢]]: No, the trivia should not be mentioned on the Japanese page ''instead'' of the English one. ''In addition'' to, maybe, but definitely not instead of. Yes, I do believe the "missing fang" was there in the original Japanese iteration (UPDATE 23:07, 4 July 2010 (UTC): Caught the missing fang in a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqV4lOlXWiA lyricless Chinese sequence] using the uncut Japanese video footage), but it's actually more noticable in the US opening because of the lack of onscreen lyrics. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 17:33, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

==Incorrect Lyrics?==

I have listened to this song and the part after "You teach me and I'll teach you" sounds a lot to me like "All day long" not "Pokémon". Does anyone else think that? [[User:Buddy999|Buddy999]] 15:58, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
:No. It's not. --[[User:ElectAbuzzzz|'''electAbuzz''']][[User talk:ElectAbuzzzz|'''z''']][[Special:Contributions/ElectAbuzzzz|'''z''']] 19:31, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

== "Each" or "Teach" ==

I personally believe the line is "Teach Pokémon to understand the power that's inside." rather than "Searching far and wide each Pokémon to understand" then randomly saying "The power that's inside." [[User:Harry Blue5|Harry Blue5]] 00:37, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
: I also think it's teach Pokémon I'll look in to it [[User:Pokemaster97|Pokemaster97]] 00:38, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
::I have [[I Choose You!|an old chapter book]] that has the Pokémon Theme lyrics in the front, and it says "each Pokémon". [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 00:41, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
:::Just listened to the theme song like 5 times it's EACH pokémon we'll leave the lyrics the same. Yay problem solved! [[User:Pokemaster97|Pokemaster97]] 00:43, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
::::(edit conflict) Is [[Tracey West]] anything more than a fan who has the rights to write Poké novelisations? I suppose its technically the closest thing we have to an official source, though. [[User:Harry Blue5|Harry Blue5]] 00:47, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
:::::The way I see it, it does make sense, it just isn't worded particularly well. ''I will travel. . . Searching far and wide [for] Each Pokémon [in order] to understand . . .'' or similar. Probably the poor wording was required to make it fit the tune and/or beat of the song. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 00:51, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
::::::I thought Ash already knew about "the power that's inside". His fault that he was an idiot. Pikachu started off as a jerk, Charizard was also mean, so teaching them it would make more sense. [[User:Harry Blue5|Harry Blue5]] 00:54, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
::::::It's been proven that its EACH. Your not making any sence. Yeah don't worry I'll ask the writers next time I go to Japan... [[User:Pokemaster97|Pokemaster97]] 00:58, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
:::::::The only other source I can think of is the lyrics booklet to the CD version of [[Pokémon 2.B.A. Master]], but alas, the cassette version has no lyrics and I bought my CD used so it has no booklet. So unless someone has the booklet and it contradicts my book, we'll stick with "each". It's the only printed source we have. [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 01:01, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
:::::::For the record, the word is 'sense' and the Japanese writers have little control over what the dub's lyrics are. Anyway, this discussion seems to be over, since there's that book. So unless anyone has any sources to say otherwise, then we'll just have to keep it as 'each'. [[User:Harry Blue5|Harry Blue5]] 01:06, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
::::::::I'd like to add that I was recently researching this- and I stumbled upon the lyrics of the spanish version, quote: "Enseñe a Pokémon de entender / El poder que hay dentro" which literally translates to "Teach Pokémon to understand / The power that's inside". The verb Enseñar = "to teach". Also, I definitely believe the syntax with "teach" makes much more sense. [[User:Pookiemons|Pookiemons]] 05:39, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

== A.J. ==

How do we know that the Sandshrew seen is A.J.'s? For that matter, how do we know the Kadabra in the next part as Sabrina's? --[[User:Nathan2055|Nathan2055]][[User Talk:Nathan2055|talk]] 19:54, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

== Lapras ==

Ash was seen riding on a Lapras. I know it wasn't until next season but this could be referring to Ash's temporary capture of Lapras. So I think we should list the Lapras as (Ash's). Who knows how much they've planned? For all we know they could have planned Palpitoad's capture since the before the first episode. (lol) [[User:Djulienr|Djulienr]] 21:41, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

== Spoilers ==

Should we also mention in the spoilers that Brock and Misty travels with Ash on his Journey? And we have Ash catching Bulbasaur, so why not Pidgeotto, Squirtle?--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 09:09, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

'''Pokémon Theme''' is the first opening theme music from the English dub of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was used from ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' to ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]''. Being featured in 83 episodes makes it the most-used dub opening theme. The opening animation uses footage from the first Japanese opening, ''[[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master]]''.

It was written and produced by [[John Loeffler]]. The lead vocal was sung by [[Jason Paige]].

A full version of the song is the first track on the [[Pokémon 2.B.A. Master]] audio CD, and includes a second verse not usually heard in the show. This version is also featured in the episodes of the anime [[EP021|''Bye Bye Butterfree'']], ''[[EP074|All Fired Up!]]'' and once again in ''[[EP080|Friends To The End]]''. Another full version sung by {{wp|Billy Crawford}} was the theme played during the opening credits of ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', and is the first track on the [[Pokémon the First Movie (soundtrack)|movie's soundtrack]].

==Synopsis==
The clip begins with {{p|Mewtwo}} and a shining {{p|Mew}} floating in space, as the camera focuses on Earth, while the sun starts to rise. The next scene shows {{Ash}} alone in a stadium. After that, a {{AP|Squirtle}}, {{DL|Giselle|Cubone}} and {{AP|Pidgeotto}} are shown quickly, before changing to a {{AP|Bulbasaur}} being caught, to which Ash snaps excitedly. Shortly afterwards, the camera shows a {{AP|Haunter}} using {{m|Lick}} on {{AP|Charmander}}, paralyzing him.

Ash then flips his hat backwards and throws a [[Poké Ball]] to the camera. In the following scene, Ash can be seen running along with his {{AP|Pikachu}}, an {{p|Arcanine}} and a {{p|Rapidash}}, who then jumps to the skies, disappearing between the [[legendary birds]], who are flying around. Then, a short clip of a {{DL|A.J.|Sandshrew}} unrolling itself, a {{TP|Sabrina|Kadabra}} and Charmander is shown, followed by Ash and Pikachu sitting on a {{p|Lapras}}, as they watch a {{p|Gyarados}} jumping out of the water, and a {{p|Dragonair}} jumping in. After that, a Poké Ball is seen trapping [[Ash's Caterpie|a Pokémon]] who has turned into red energy.

A battle between Pikachu and {{TP|Lt. Surge|Raichu}} is seen, with the former dodging a {{m|Body Slam}} of the latter; and then, a {{AP|Caterpie}} bracing for an {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}}' and a {{TP|James|Koffing}}'s incoming attack. In the next scene, Ash is seen hugging his Pikachu, followed by a giant {{p|Tentacruel}} attacking a building. Ash then is seen holding a Poké Ball; followed by an {{TP|Brock|Onix}}. Later, Ash appears to be looking at the screen, when {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} appear on either side of him, followed by [[Jessie]] and [[James]] rising up in front of them. Koffing, {{MTR}} and Ekans jump up next, followed by {{Gary}} holding a Poké Ball.

The camera then runs across {{p|Charizard}} while using {{m|Flamethrower}}, {{p|Blastoise}} while using {{m|Hydro Pump}} and {{p|Venusaur}}; before Pikachu runs between Ash and a {{tc|Lass}} and jumps. The next scene introduces {{an|Professor Oak}}, [[Delia Ketchum]], [[Officer Jenny]] and [[Nurse Joy]], as they nod, the camera then shows a giant Charizard using Flamethrower, and Ash and {{ashfr}} hide behind a boulder, later, a Squirtle is seen running towards Ash, followed by a hug.

The camera does a close-up on Pikachu, and subsequently zooms out, showing Pikachu standing on a Pidgeotto, a {{TP|Brock|Zubat}} holding a Squirtle, and a {{AP|Butterfree}} holding Bulbasaur. The last scene then shows up, on which Ash raises his feet and throws the Poké Ball to the screen, much like a {{wp|Pitcher|Baseball pitcher}}, followed by a spinning Poké Ball and the Pokémon logo.

'''Combee''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミツハニー''' ''Mitsuhoney'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Flying}} Pokémon.

[[Gender|Female]] Combee [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Vespiquen}} starting at [[level]] 21. Male Combee are not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Combee is a small insectoid Pokémon that resembles three pieces of orange, hexagonal honeycomb stuck together. Each hexagon has a round yellow face. The bottom-center face being the main thinker of the three is also the only one "bee" to have a full abdomen. The top two hexagons have a single antenna and a wing connected to an orange-colored joint.

Since Combee is a Bee Pokémon, it has been considered as a distant cousin of the {{p|Weedle}} family, mainly {{p|Beedrill}}.

====Gender differences====
Male Combee do not evolve. The lower face of a female Combee has a red spot on its forehead (which would become the red jewel on the head of a {{p|Vespiquen}}).

===Special abilities===
Combee can fly with its two wings as long as the top two "bees" co-ordinate their flapping. Combee's skills in battle are very limited, since it is only capable of learning a small handful of moves. Using its wings it can {{m|Gust|whip up fast winds}} to attack, and can also distract Pokémon with the {{m|Sweet Scent|sweet smell}} of its honey. More recently Combee and other {{type|Bug}} Pokémon have been found to have the ability to {{m|Bug Bite|bite opponents and eat a Berry they may be holding}}.

Through [[Move tutor|specialized training]] Combee are capable of learning a wider selection of attacks including {{m|Mud-Slap}} and {{m|Ominous Wind}} in the [[Johto]] or [[Sinnoh]] region, but such tutoring has not yet been successful in any of the other regions. However, it is clear from the nature of many of these attacks that they are beyond the natural capabilities of wild Combee anyway.

Combee also have abilities untapped by {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. Only through the orders of a Combee's queen can its {{m|Attack Order|powerful attacking skills}}, {{m|Defend Order|strong defensive maneuvers}} and {{m|Heal Order|expertise in healing}} be unlocked.

===Behavior===
[[Image:Combee wall.png|left|200px|thumb|A wall of Combee]]
Combee are mostly sociable among their own kind. They are generally harmless and when threatened will usually run away. A Combee will almost always be found collecting honey wherever they can.

The rare times they are not gathering honey, they are sleeping or protecting their queen {{p|Vespiquen}}. The former is done by creating a hive out of themselves and other Combee, locking together and feeling safe in larger numbers.

Combee are very suggestible creatures and will never defy the orders of its queen. When a Vespiquen feels threatened, its subject Combee will not think twice about risking their own lives and forming a ''Combee wall'' to protect the queen, then attacking and even killing the threat in an aggressive manner.

===Habitat===
Combee will commonly make residence in caves and hollow trees of forests and other natural, secluded areas with their queen {{p|Vespiquen}}. When a group of Combee aren't being led by a queen, they will usually create a make-shift hive (out of their own bodies) anywhere they feel safe.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
The honey that Combee collect are used for multiple things, but its main use is to be eaten.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Combee anime.png|right|thumb|200px|Combee in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Combee made an appearance in ''[[DP032|An Angry Combeenation!]]''.

===Minor appearances===
Several Combee made minor appearances living in the gardens of [[Alamos Town]] in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''.

Three Combee appeared in a forest at the beginning of ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''.

Combee also appeared living in [[Michina Town]] in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.

A group of Combee appeared in ''[[DP140|Historical Mystery Tour!]]''.

A photograph of multiple Combee appeared in ''[[BW054|The Four Seasons of Sawsbuck!]]''.

==Trivia==
* Combee is the only Pokémon species in which two genders exist where only one of the two can evolve.
** Combee is also the only Pokémon with a gender-dependent evolutionary line to have [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]].
** This is not counting Nidoran, as {{P|Nidoran♀}} and {{P|Nidoran♂}} are classified as two different Pokémon.
** Oddly enough, male Combee are more common than female Combee.
* Combee has three heads like {{p|Magneton}}, {{p|Dodrio}}, {{p|Dugtrio}} and {{p|Hydreigon}}; however, unlike the other three, it cannot learn {{m|Tri Attack}}.
** Along with this, Combee is the only Pokémon with three heads that evolves into a Pokémon with only one head.
* Combee is similar to {{p|Exeggcute}} in that their heads show different expressions.
* Combee is the only Pokémon with a [[base stat]] total of 244.
* Combee has the lowest base stat total of all {{type|Flying}} Pokémon.
** It also has the lowest base HP and Special Attack among Flying-type Pokémon.

===Origin===
Combee is based on {{wp|honeycomb}}s and {{wp|honeybee}}s.

====Name origin====
Combee is a combination of ''honeycomb'' and ''bee''. It may also involve ''combination'', referring to it being made up of three segments.

Mitsuhoney may be a combination of 蜜蜂 ''mitsubachi'' (honey bee), 三つ ''mittsu'' (three, referring to its anatomy), and ''honey''.

'''Vibrava''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ビブラーバ''' ''Vibrava'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Dragon}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Trapinch}} starting at [[level]] 35 and evolves into {{p|Flygon}} starting at level 45.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Vibrava is a Pokémon strongly resembling a dragonfly. In a stark contrast to its pre-evolution, its head is now much smaller with two yellow antennae adorning the front of it, and is now yellow with green bulging eyes with black pupils. It has a skinny yellow body, four skinny black legs with slender black feet and green rhombus-shaped wings, which appear to be layered. It also has two similar rhombus shapes at the end of its tail.

====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
Vibrava is capable of emitting and manipulating sound waves from its wings. This ability has been tuned to the point where this Pokémon is able to induce headaches in humans. Being a {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon, Vibrava can learn {{m|Draco Meteor}}.

===Behavior===
Upon evolution, Vibrava gains the ability of limited flight. However, its wings are not fully mature, and are ineffective at flying any significant distance. Although they are not this Pokémon's primary method of locomotion, they are their primary method of prey capture. By vibrating its wings rapidly, it produces ultrasonic waves. These waves are quite powerful, and can cause their prey to faint. Fortunately, these waves usually do not do more damage than a headache in humans.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Roughterrain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon}}]]
Vibrava live in deserts, they enjoy rocks and nearby trees if they can find any in their sandy habitat.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Vibrava hunts by vibrating its wings at high frequency. Once its prey has fainted, it injects the prey with potent venom.

==In the anime==
[[File:Brianna Vibrava Screech.png|thumb|right|Vibrava in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Vibrava's first anime appearance was in ''[[AG106|Beg, Burrow and Steal]]''. Dozens of {{p|Trapinch}} were seen evolving into them at an underground lake. {{TRT}} made a failed attempt to steal the Vibration Pokémon despite the fact the idea {{MTR}} had of using their previous forms as nut-crackers was now foiled. The Vibrava helped {{Ash}}, {{an|May}}, [[Max]], {{an|Brock}}, {{Ho|Hal}} and [[Elisa]] out of the underground labyrinth.

===Minor appearances===
Vibrava first appeared in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', in the form of a swarm.

A {{pkmn|Coordinator}} named [[Brianna]] used a Vibrava in the battle round of the [[Pokémon Contest]] on [[Chrysanthemum Island]] in ''[[AG162|Spontaneous Combusken]]''. Vibrava were also used by random coordinators in ''[[AG121|Hi Ho Silver Wind]]'' and ''[[AG160|Harley Rides Again]]''.

It also appeared in ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part One]]''.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Dex
|type=ground
|type2=dragon
|gen=3
|rubydex=To make prey faint, Vibrava generates ultrasonic waves by vigorously making its two wings vibrate. This Pokémon's {{m|Supersonic|ultrasonic waves}} are so powerful, they can bring on headaches in people.
|sapphiredex=Vibrava's wings have not yet completed the process of growing. Rather than flying long distances, they are more useful for generating ultrasonic waves by vibrating.
|emeralddex=It looses ultrasonic waves by rubbing its wings together. Since a Vibrava's wings are still in the process of growing, it can only fly short distances.
|frlgdex=It generates ultrasonic waves by violently flapping its wings. After making its prey faint, it melts the prey with acid.
|dpptdex=It violently shudders its wings, generating ultrasonic waves to induce headaches in people.
|hgssdex=It vibrates its wings vigorously, creating ultrasonic waves that cause serious headaches.
|bwdex=It violently shudders its wings, generating ultrasonic waves to induce headaches in people.

==Trivia==
* Vibrava and its evolution, {{p|Flygon}} share several characteristics usually associated with types other than theirs:
** Their evolutionary line, along with the {{p|Gligar}} line, are the only evolutionary families to be in the {{egg3|Bug}} with no {{type|Bug}} members.
** Vibrava and Flygon are the only {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon not to be in the {{egg3|Dragon}}.
* All of Vibrava's [[base stats]] go up by exactly 30 points when it evolves into {{p|Flygon}}.
* Vibrava shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Palpitoad}} and {{p|Seismitoad}}. They are all known as Vibration Pokémon.
* Despite its {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} Pokédex entry, the only {{type|Poison}} move Vibrava learns is [[Toxic]], through [[TM]].
** This may be because Vibrava is usually not found in the wild, considering it would likely not prey if it isn't wild.
===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Trapinch, Vibrava and Flygon}}
Vibrava is based on the adult stage of an {{wp|antlion}}. Often the adult antlion and dragonfly are confused with one another, and Vibrava could draw inspiration from both. In fact, some species of dragonflies are commonly called "sand dragons", which could account for Vibrava and Flygon's typing.

====Name origin====
Vibrava may be a combination of ''vibrate'' (to shake rapidly) and ''{{wp|larva}}''. It may also derive from ''{{wp|European dragon#Dragons in Catalan mythology|Vibra}}''.

==In other languages==
{{Other languages|type=ground|type2=dragon

Hey, Ive been playing the Gen I games, and Thrash seems to do 4 turns of damage all the time, not 2-3 as described...

'''Thrash''' (Japanese: '''あばれる''' ''Violent Struggle'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

==Effect==
===Generation I===
Thrash has a Power of 90 and has 20 PP, it does damage for 3-4 (chosen randomly) turns. Once used (even if it misses on the turn of
its use), the user will only be able to use Thrash, and will not be able to switch out. At the
end of this duration, the user will become confused.

If the Thrash duration is disrupted (such as by full paralysis or hurting itself due to
confusion), it will immediately end. The user will only become confused if Thrash is fully
executed, without its duration being disrupted. Sleep, freeze, partial trapping, and flinching
will pause but not disrupt the duration of Thrash.

In Stadium, after the duration of Thrash ends, there will be a notice that the user becomes confused for some time.

===Generation II-IV===
The duration of Thrash is decreased to 2-3 turns.

===Generation V===
The Power of Thrash is increased to 120 and its PP is reduced to 10.
It is disrupted if it is not successful due to missing, {{status|sleep}}ing, {{status|paralysis}}, {{status|freeze}}, {{status|flinch}}ing, a {{m|Protect}}ing target, or {{a|Wonder Guard}} immunity. If a disruption occurs on what would have been the final, confusion-inducing turn of Thrash, the user will still become confused.

==Description==

==Talk page==
Hey. You're prohibited to use your talk page to post personal information that would usually go on one's userpage. That is called {{bp|Userspace_policy#Circumventing_the_userspace_policy|Circumventing the userspace policy}}. When the time comes and you're able to edit your userspace, then you may put that information on your page. But it should never be put on your talk page.

:: You're not allowed to use your talk page as a sandbox...

==Userspace limits==
Hi. I noticed you have been editing the <code>User:</code> namespace a lot recently. Please don't do it any more, though. Bulbapedia's {{bp|Userspace policy}} restricts the amount you can edit your userpage: no more than three edits per day and make sure you contribute to our {{bp|mainspace}} more than your userspace. This policy was instated to promote people helping out in the mainspace, and also to control strain on our server. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, after all, so help us out by contributing to some articles before coming back to your personal userpage. The more often you edit in the mainspace, the more you will be allowed to edit your userpage. Thanks! --- [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 20:31, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

==Hold on!==
If you did not read your last warning, then please read it now. You have edited the <code>User:</code> namespace too much. In the past, no one was allowed to edit their userpages because some users were over-editing their own userpages. Your personal editing privileges can be taken away, so please do not edit your page any more for now. Instead, how about helping contribute to some of Bulbapedia's [[Special:Random|many articles]]? Thank you. --- [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 20:47, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

==Final userspace warning==
Do not edit the <code>User:</code> namespace any more. If you edit your page any more without making some edits to the mainspace, then the privilege for you to edit the userspace will be removed. This has been your final warning. --- [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 20:52, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

Hey. You're prohibited to use your talk page to post personal information that would usually go on one's userpage. That is called {{bp|Userspace_policy#Circumventing_the_userspace_policy|Circumventing the userspace policy}}. When the time comes and you're able to edit your userspace, then you may put that information on your page. But it should never be put on your talk page.

==Userspace limits==
Hi. I noticed you have been editing the <code>User:</code> namespace a lot recently. Please don't do it any more, though. Bulbapedia's {{bp|Userspace policy}} restricts the amount you can edit your userpage: no more than three edits per day and make sure you contribute to our {{bp|mainspace}} more than your userspace. This policy was instated to promote people helping out in the mainspace, and also to control strain on our server. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, after all, so help us out by contributing to some articles before coming back to your personal userpage. The more often you edit in the mainspace, the more you will be allowed to edit your userpage. Thanks! --- [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 20:31, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

==Hold on!==
If you did not read your last warning, then please read it now. You have edited the <code>User:</code> namespace too much. In the past, no one was allowed to edit their userpages because some users were over-editing their own userpages. Your personal editing privileges can be taken away, so please do not edit your page any more for now. Instead, how about helping contribute to some of Bulbapedia's [[Special:Random|many articles]]? Thank you. --- [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 20:47, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

==Final userspace warning==
Do not edit the <code>User:</code> namespace any more. If you edit your page any more without making some edits to the mainspace, then the privilege for you to edit the userspace will be removed. This has been your final warning. --- [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 20:52, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

== about his pokemon... ==

Look, I know the Jr. novelizations of pokemon aren't exactly canon with the pokemon series and all that, but didn't they mention Gary also having a Charizard and a Venusaur in addition to his Blastoise in the book "Stage fight"? I mean, sure, that book might not have been canon (It mentioned Ash's Pidgeot still being under his command despite his releasing it right after it evolved and defeated Fearow), but shouldn't it at least be worth noting in at least the Trivia section? just wondering.

~~Weedle Mchairybug~~

== Gary's Appearance ==
I'm not sure if this is valid but, aside from the fact that he has the same voice actor, but he also wears the same clothing as the video game, in the Kanto series of Pokemon he wore the same thing or at least a strong look-a-like of his game counterpart, in the rest of the series (from the point of Pokemon: FireRed and LeafGreen) Gary changes to a black shirt and purple pants, I believe that ever since that time and the fact that his character was not designed to wear new clothing, that he still looks the way he is in Diamond and Pearl Series

Also, Ash, Brock and Misty changes their clothing during each arc, this is just something i felt i need to being to notice, if you already know this sorry. - [[User:Gaiden|Gaiden]] 07:23, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
:Yeah. Gary's design during the Gen I/II era of the anime (AKA, the [[original series]] in its entirety) was based off of {{ga|Blue}}'s Red/Blue art.

Both you and the article are right. [[User:Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 21:15, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

== Current Pic ==

Is that what his hair looks like now, or is that a bad angle? Because he looks completely different than he used to... so i was wondering if that was just a bad pic (and if so, can we get a better one?) or if he really just changed THAT much [[User:CherryParanoia|CherryParanoia]] 07:11, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

There is nothing wrong with the image.
But still, i will try to search a better image (if possible).

:There's nothing wrong with the image. Don't change it at all unless you find a pan shot. As for his appearance, he's looked like that since [[AG192]]. They gave him the appearance of {{ga|Blue}} in FRLG. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 17:27, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Oh, so he DID just change a lot. Because his hair is completely different in that picture, and i've seen some shots online in which his hair has the original style (but the new color). If i find them again, should i upload them here? [[User:CherryParanoia|CherryParanoia]] 20:52, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

There is nothing wrong with his hairs.
It is just a shady look. Checkout gary's old picture and new one, there is a slight (a little) difference and that is because of shade (i think).
--♫♪[[User:Adyniz|'''Ady''']][[User talk:Adyniz|'''niz''']]♪♫ 03:48, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

It's nothing about the shade. It's the fact his hair looks more like Brock's in the picture. Like, it's not long enough in the front and everything. Thats why i thought it was just a bad shot. If his hair is still long in the front, then we need a new pic. If he's gotten a complete renovation... then it's fine. [[User:CherryParanoia|CherryParanoia]] 16:54, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

I think it's fine. If we want more info about it then we have to wait for Gary's next appearance.

== Latest trivia ==

"Gary is the only main rival not to have at least one Grass-type Pokémon."

What exactly qualifies as a "main rival"? I would consider both Ritchie and Zoey as main rivals and they don't have Grass-types. Or was this person just talking about Ash's regular rivals? Gary, Paul, and Barry. Cause if that's it, then it's not really notable. I think it should be removed on the of either it's not notable due to Ash's lack of regular rivals or that it isn't true as Zoey is very much a regular rival and does not have a Grass-type. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 20:07, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
:Well, Paul, Barry and Gary are the rivals to appear the most but Ritchie also appears a lot. I wouldn't say that there is any main rivals, except Gary, and he isn't even really a rival any more. [[User:Solar Dragon|Solar Dragon]] 20:10, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

== Recently added Trivia ==

''Gary is the only main rival not to have at least one {{type|Grass}} Pokémon.''

Who counts as a "main rival"? If we are just counting Ash's rivals, then there are only two "main" rivals - Gary and Paul. If we count Barry then we should probably count Richie, who doesn't have any grass types. If we are counting Contest rivals then Zoey doesn't have any grass types. If we really are just counting Gary, Paul and Barry, then is it really notable, especially given that the following are also true: Gary doesn't have a fighting type, Barry doesn't have a ground type, rock type, fire type or Dark type, while Paul is the only one with an Ice type and Gary is the only one with a dragon type.

:::Or at least a very bad piece of trivia as we could go through them all, as Werdnae said, and place them all up. It is just pointless so it was best to remove it. [[User:Solar Dragon|Solar Dragon]] 20:25, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

== Birthday? ==

Didn't he and Ash both start their journey on there 10th birthday? If so, it should be put in the trivia that he and Ash both have the same birthday. --Kimori Geckarbor Hinoarashi 22:53, 18 October 2009 (UTC) [[User:Kimori-Hinoarashi|Kimori-Hinoarashi]]
:I think the anime said that Oak gives out his Pokémon once a year. I also think the "starting at 10" thing comes from the games, while in the anime trainers ''can'' get their license to be a trainer at 10. I think...

== Dodrio ==

Are we sure that the Dodrio that Gary has is the same Doduo he had at Oak's lab? I mean, in that episode, Gary was revealed to have over 200 Pokémon, implying most if not ALL non-legendaries known at the time, as well as multiples of some of them. Therefore, it is possible, nay, likely, that this Dodrio and that Doduo are not the same Pokémon. Unless I missed something, of course. Gary never identified this Dodrio as the Doduo from Showdown at the Po-Ke Corral, did he? - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno. Master|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Missingno._Master|contribs]])'' 20:38, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
:You may have a point there. Doduo's necks are black, while Dodrio's are brown. Speaking of brown necks, I came here to theorize that Gary's Dodrio is a female. [[User:Pressthebutton|Pressthebutton]] ([[User talk:Pressthebutton|talk]]) 14:57, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

== Gary's eye color ==

== Surname? ==

Just being curious, does anybody ever say that Gary's surname is Oak? [[User:Krisi|Krisi]] 10:52, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
:Yes. I can't give you an exact episode number, but yes. They've said his full name before. [[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 11:01, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
::Oh, okay then. Just because I couldn't remember a single instance, and I was assuming that people ony say his surname is Oak, because, you know, Prof. Oak is his grandfather... But you know, if the professor was his mother's father, Gary's surname would probably be something else. Except is somehow both ot his parents are called Oak.

'''Oshawott''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミジュマル''' ''Mijumaru'') is a {{type|Water}} {{obp|Pokémon|species}}.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Dewott}} starting at [[level]] 17, which evolves into {{p|Samurott}} starting at level 36.

Along with {{p|Snivy}} and {{p|Tepig}}, Oshawott is one of three [[starter Pokémon]] of [[Unova]] available at the beginning of {{game|Black and White|s}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Oshawott is a bipedal sea otter-like Pokémon, primarily light blue, dark blue, and white in coloration. Oshawott has a rounded, spherical white head, with small, triangular dark-blue ears to the sides. Oshawott's eyes are large, dark, and ovoid in shape; its dark-orange nose is shaped like an oval on its side. Oshawott also possesses speckles to the sides of its face, most likely meant to be a stylistic implication of short whiskers in the common manner of cartoon canines, and light blue bubble-esque features composing a "collar" around its neck. Oshawott's torso is light blue, and decorated with a pale yellow seashell feature in the center. Made out of {{wp|keratin}}, this appendage, called a "[[scalchop]]", can be removed and used in various ways; mainly, as a weapon. Its small, digit-less and somewhat rounded arms are white in coloration, with its feet—having, unlike its forearms, discernible digits—colored dark blue. Oshawott also possesses a slightly plank-shaped dark blue tail and a pair of fangs unseen until it opens its mouth.

====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
It can fight skillfully by detaching the [[scalchop]] on its belly. The scalchop can be used for a variety of different purposes, such as a sword, shield, and boomerang. Somehow, this scalchop grows from its bellybutton, according to one of the books in the library of the Nacrene Museum.

===Behavior===
If Oshawott is attacked, it will fight back using its scalchop without any hesitation. When eating, Oshawott uses its forepaws to move food to its mouth, rather than going down on all fours to eat it.

===Habitat===
Oshawott mainly live in water but may come to land.

===Diet===

==In the anime==
[[File:Ash Oshawott.png|thumb|right|250px|Oshawott in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Oshawott]]====
Ash's Oshawott first appears in ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'', under the ownership of [[Professor Juniper]]. He begins to admire Ash and decides to leave the lab and follow him wherever he goes. He then saves {{Ash}} and {{an|Iris}} from {{TRT}} in ''[[BW002|Enter Iris and Axew!]]'' and reappears again in ''[[BW003|A Sandile Gusher of Change!]]'' where he officially joins Ash's [[party]].

===Minor appearances===
In ''[[BW019|A Connoisseur's Revenge!]]'' multiple Trainers' Oshawott were seen at a [[Poké Mart]].

Later, a flashback of [[Burgundy]]'s {{p|Dewott}} as an Oshawott was shown after it had been beaten by [[Cilan's Pansage]].

==Trivia==
[[File:PokéSun May09 10.png|thumb|The three silhouettes on [[Pokémon Sunday]]]]
* Oshawott and its fellow [[Unova]] starter Pokémon were first revealed as silhouettes on the May 9, 2010 episode of [[Pokémon Sunday]]. They were later revealed in full in the June 2010 issue of [[CoroCoro]].
* Oshawott is the only {{type|Water}} starter Pokémon to be based on a mammal.
* Oshawott is the only starter Pokémon whose name begins with a vowel, discounting {{p|Eevee}}.
* Oshawott and its evolutions are the only {{type|Water}} starter Pokémon that are not in any of the Water [[Egg group]]s, being exclusive to the {{egg3|Field}}.
* Oshawott has the lowest base stat total of all {{type|Water}} starter Pokémon.
* Oshawott, along with {{p|Snivy}} and {{p|Tepig}}, has the lowest [[List of Pokémon by effort value yield|base experience yield]], with a base of 28.
* [[Ken Sugimori]] said that Oshawott and its evolutions were the hardest for the team to design during production, as conceptualizing its evolutions were difficult. They eventually settled on a samurai theme and making its final form a sea lion after a trip to an aquarium.{{fact}}
* Oshawott, along with the other two Unova starter Pokémon, are the only starter Pokémon to evolve at an odd number: 17.
* Oshawott's evolutionary line and {{p|Turtwig}}'s evolutionary line are the only starter Pokémon evolutionary lines that share Hidden Abilities.
* Oshawott is the only Pokémon introduced in Generation V whose name starts with O.

===Origin===
Oshawott is based on a {{wp|sea otter}} pup and {{wp|samurai}}<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/sp/index5.html (dead link)</ref>. The way that Oshawott's [[Scalchop]] rests on its belly resembles the way otters look when cracking open shells to eat. This Scalchop also holds similarities with {{wp|Japanese war fan}}s, which were often used by samurai for defensive purposes.

====Name origin====
Oshawott may be a combination of ''ocean'', ''shell'', ''water'', and ''{{wp|otter}}''. It may be a reference to {{wp|Oshawa}}, {{wp|Canada}}, as Canada contains many protected areas in which sea otters reside, the name of which comes from the Ojibwa word ''aazhaway'' ("crossing the river" or "to leave one's canoe behind"). It may also derive from {{wp|George Ohsawa}}, a famed dietitian born into a poor samurai family during the {{wp|Meiji Restoration}} of Japan.

Mijumaru may be a combination of 水 ''mizu'' (water) or 未熟 ''mijuku'' (naive or immature) and 丸 ''maru'' (round). ''Maru'' is also a common suffix in male Japanese names. ''Miju'' may also refer to an otter named ''Mijbil'', the subject of a autoboigraphical novel and movie called ''{{wp|Ring of Bright Water}}''.

'''Smoochum''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ムチュール''' ''Muchul'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ice|Psychic}} [[baby Pokémon]].

She [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Jynx}} starting at [[level]] 30.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Smoochum is a small Pokémon that resembles a baby girl. She has a large head with blonde hair, pink colored skin, large eyes, and a pair of large lips. She has a light colored chest, arms and feet and a purple colored abdomen, giving her the appearance of wearing pants.

====Gender differences====
Smoochum is an all-female species with no male counterpart.

===Special abilities===
Smoochum's lips are sensitive enough that Smoochum use them to identify and examine objects.

===Behavior===
A Smoochum will use her lips to examine something that she sees for the first time. When walking, a Smoochum rocks her head back and forth. Despite being a Baby Pokémon, Smoochum are very conscious about their appearance. When given the chance, a Smoochum will look at her reflection to make sure she isn't dirty.

===Habitat===
[[File:Urban.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon}}]]
Smoochum, like her {{p|Jynx|evolution}}, prefers colder areas.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
They are often found with [[Aspear Berry|Aspear Berries]]. The effect is useless, considering Aspear Berries cure the [[Frozen|Frozen]] aliment, and Smoochum's ice-type prevents the ailment altogether; so it so far seems that Smoochum just like sour foods, as the Aspear Berry is sour. However, they are also sometimes found with Hondew Berries, which are not sour at all.

==In the anime==

==Trivia==
[[File:Pokémon mini Smoochum Purple boxart.jpg|thumb|right|A Smoochum Purple [[Pokémon mini]]]]
* [[Jessie]] seems to have an obsession with Smoochum, as seen in many episodes such as ''[[AG168|Three Jynx and a Baby]]''.
* Smoochum is the only {{type|Ice}} [[Baby Pokémon]].
* Smoochum is the only Ice-type Pokémon in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by color|Pink|pink color group}}.
** Although classified as pink in the Pokédex, it has been depicted as purple on several occasions, including the [[Pokémon mini]] console modeled after it.

===Origin===
Smoochum may be based on ガン黒 ''{{wp|ganguro}}'', blonde-haired, tanned Japanese girls, but is meant to resemble an otherwise normal human child. {{wp|Yuki Onna}}, a possible origin for Jynx, is sometimes shown as holding a seemingly human child. Smoochum could also be based on the legend of ''{{wp|Kintarō}}'', a human child raised by the {{wp|Yama Uba}}, another possible origin of Jynx.

====Name origin====
Smoochum is derived from ''smooch'' (a {{wp|kiss}}). It also may be a combination of ''smooch'' and ''chum'' (friend). It may also be a pun on "smooch 'em."

Muchul is a combination of 夢中 ''muchū'' (daze or trance) and ちゅう ''chu'' (the sound of a kiss).

==Trivia==
[[File:Pokémon mini Smoochum Purple boxart.jpg|thumb|right|A Smoochum Purple [[Pokémon mini]]]]
* [[Jessie]] seems to have an obsession with Smoochum, as seen in many episodes such as ''[[AG168|Three Jynx and a Baby]]''.
* Smoochum is the only {{type|Ice}} [[Baby Pokémon]].
* Smoochum is the only Ice-type Pokémon in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by color|Pink|pink color group}}.
** Although classified as pink in the Pokédex, it has been depicted as purple on several occasions, including the [[Pokémon mini]] console modeled after it.

===Origin===
Smoochum may be based on ガン黒 ''{{wp|ganguro}}'', blonde-haired, tanned Japanese girls, but is meant to resemble an otherwise normal human child. {{wp|Yuki Onna}}, a possible origin for Jynx, is sometimes shown as holding a seemingly human child. Smoochum could also be based on the legend of ''{{wp|Kintarō}}'', a human child raised by the {{wp|Yama Uba}}, another possible origin of Jynx.

====Name origin====
Smoochum is derived from ''smooch'' (a {{wp|kiss}}). It also may be a combination of ''smooch'' and ''chum'' (friend). It may also be a pun on "smooch 'em."

Muchul is a combination of 夢中 ''muchū'' (daze or trance) and ちゅう ''chu'' (the sound of a kiss).

'''Smoochum''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ムチュール''' ''Muchul'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ice|Psychic}} [[baby Pokémon]].

She [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Jynx}} starting at [[level]] 30.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Smoochum is a small Pokémon that resembles a baby girl. She has a large head with blonde hair, pink colored skin, large eyes, and a pair of large lips. She has a light colored chest, arms and feet and a purple colored abdomen, giving her the appearance of wearing pants.

====Gender differences====
Smoochum is an all-female species with no male counterpart.

===Special abilities===
Smoochum's lips are sensitive enough that Smoochum use them to identify and examine objects.

===Behavior===
A Smoochum will use her lips to examine something that she sees for the first time. When walking, a Smoochum rocks her head back and forth. Despite being a Baby Pokémon, Smoochum are very conscious about their appearance. When given the chance, a Smoochum will look at her reflection to make sure she isn't dirty.

===Habitat===
[[File:Urban.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon}}]]
Smoochum, like her {{p|Jynx|evolution}}, prefers colder areas.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
They are often found with [[Aspear Berry|Aspear Berries]]. The effect is useless, considering Aspear Berries cure the [[Frozen|Frozen]] aliment, and Smoochum's ice-type prevents the ailment altogether; so it may be that Smoochum just likes sour foods, as the Aspear Berry is sour.

==Trivia==
[[File:Pokémon mini Smoochum Purple boxart.jpg|thumb|right|A Smoochum Purple [[Pokémon mini]]]]
* [[Jessie]] seems to have an obsession with Smoochum, as seen in many episodes such as ''[[AG168|Three Jynx and a Baby]]''.
* Smoochum is the only {{type|Ice}} [[Baby Pokémon]].
* Smoochum is the only Ice-type Pokémon in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by color|Pink|pink color group}}.
** Although classified as pink in the Pokédex, it has been depicted as purple on several occasions, including the [[Pokémon mini]] console modeled after it.

===Origin===
Smoochum may be based on ガン黒 ''{{wp|ganguro}}'', blonde-haired, tanned Japanese girls, but is meant to resemble an otherwise normal human child. {{wp|Yuki Onna}}, a possible origin for Jynx, is sometimes shown as holding a seemingly human child. Smoochum could also be based on the legend of ''{{wp|Kintarō}}'', a human child raised by the {{wp|Yama Uba}}, another possible origin of Jynx.

====Name origin====
Smoochum is derived from ''smooch'' (a {{wp|kiss}}). It also may be a combination of ''smooch'' and ''chum'' (friend). It may also be a pun on "smooch 'em."

Muchul is a combination of 夢中 ''muchū'' (daze or trance) and ちゅう ''chu'' (the sound of a kiss).

==In other languages==

'''Cilan's Stunfisk''' (Japanese: '''デントのマッギョ''' ''Dent's Maggyo'') is the third {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} {{an|Cilan}} obtained.

==History==
[[File:Cilan and Stunfisk.png|thumb|left|220px|Cilan and Stunfisk]]
Stunfisk was first seen inhabiting a lake with its friend {{AP|Palpitoad}} and a group of {{p|Tympole}} in ''[[BW032|Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open!]]''. Palpitoad asked for Stunfisk's help to get rid of {{Ash}} and {{AP|Oshawott}} as it viewed them as intruders. Stunfisk managed to get them out of the lake and planned to guard against them, but {{an|Cilan}} used his [[fishing]] skills with his special lure to catch and pull Stunfisk to shore. Palpitoad then appeared before the group and had Stunfisk fire {{m|Mud Bomb}} at the [[Pokémon Connoisseur]] but he managed to evade it. Cilan then lifted his fishing rod in the air and started to spin Stunfisk around, keeping it at bay until Ash was able to defeat Palpitoad. Once he did, Cilan dropped the Trap Pokémon to the ground which, with the combination of dizziness, knocked it out and Cilan captured it.

In ''[[BW041|The Club Battle Hearts of Fury: Emolga Versus Sawk!]]'', it battled against [[Luke]]'s {{p|Larvesta}} in the quarter finals of the [[Club Battle]] tournament, in which Stunfisk showed the remarkable ability to leap into the air and glide, flapping its fins as wings. Even though Stunfisk's {{m|Scald}} was super effective against Larvesta, Larvesta minimized the damage by covering itself in its own {{m|String Shot}}, acting as a shield. Larvesta then roasted Stunfisk with a powerful {{m|Flamethrower}}, knocking it out.

In ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]'' Stunfisk was called out to battle {{p|Tornadus}} and {{p|Thundurus}}, blocking a {{m|Thunder}} attack aimed at {{TP|Iris|Axew}} with its Mud Bomb, it then teamed up with {{AP|Pikachu}} to battle. Stunfisk used its amazing jumping ability to get itself and Pikachu into the air so that they could launch a {{m|ThunderShock}}—{{m|Thunderbolt}} combination at the two [[legendary Pokémon]]. However, Pikachu was knocked off Stunfisk's back and it was then struck by a powerful {{m|Hammer Arm}} attack, knocking it out.

In ''[[BW067|Cilan Takes Flight!]]'', Cilan called upon Stunfisk to participate in [[Skyla]]'s 'Air battle' simulation, during which she predicted that Stunfisk would be defeated by her {{p|Swoobat}}. However, by the time Stunfisk was sent out to battle her, Swoobat had already been defeated by {{TP|Cilan|Crustle}}. Stunfisk was sent out to fight Skyla's {{p|Swanna}} after Crustle was defeated. Despite ThunderShock being extremely effective against Swanna, it was still able to throw Stunfisk off momentum and into the air with {{m|Hurricane}}. Cilan had Stunfisk take advantage of its situation and use Scald whilst spinning, showering Swanna in hot water, which [[Burn (status ailment)|burnt]] it. Stunfisk was then defeated after Swanna used {{m|Aqua Ring}} to heal the burn and hit it with {{m|Brave Bird}}.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Cilan Stunfisk flying.png|thumb|200px|Stunfisk showing its ability to "fly".]]
In its debut, Stunfisk was quite aggressive, like the other Pokémon living in the lake. However strong Stunfisk was, it still obeyed {{AP|Palpitoad}}, proving it doesn't function well in a group without being a 'follower'. After Cilan caught Stunfisk, its personality did not change; as shown in ''[[BW036|Archeops In The Modern World!]]'' where after being brought out by {{TP|Iris|Emolga}}'s {{m|Volt Switch}} it attacked a newly revived curious {{p|Archen}} with a {{m|ThunderShock}} attack when Archen bit it and subsequently laughed. However, it seems to have completely accepted Cilan as its Trainer, and new leader figure. In ''[[BW062|Crisis at Chargestone Cave!]]'', Stunfisk did not show any agression towards the other Pokémon, even smiling as it watched {{AP|Oshawott}} flirt with Emolga, showing that it is satisfied with its group.
Stunfisk can also somehow "fly".

Talk:Aron (Pokémon)

Pressthebutton: /* Unnaturally Heavy */ new section

This "Trivia" piece might be a stretch. You know how similar Aron and Sheildon are? Well, have you guys ever noticed that both their names are very close to human names? As in Aron-Aaron and Shieldon-Sheldon?

This only occurred to me because I'd been mispronouncing Aron's name as Aaron until recently, lol. - ''unsigned comment from {{u|Udivision}} ([[User talk:Udivision|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Udivision|contribs]]){{ #if: 18:54, 22 February 2009 | 18:54, 22 February 2009 |}}''

== Trivia ==

It is pretty obvious that it's English name could have been based on Iron. Should be added to the trivia. ♢ [[User:DeadUniverse|DeadUniverse]] [[User talk:DeadUniverse|Hello!]] ♢ 16:40, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

== Sturdy Sandstorm combo? ==

Over on the TV Tropes wiki, a user proposed that in Generation V, because the "Sturdy" ability now functions similarly to the Focus Sash, there is a potentially deadly combo:

* Breed an Aron with Sturdy, Endeavor, and equip the Shell Bell on it.
* Create a Sandstorm in battle, then have Aron use Endeavor.
** If the opponent strikes first, Aron survives because it's Sturdy and has full HP.
** Endeavor then reduces the opponent to 1 HP; this counts as damage, causing the shell bell to restore Aron's on HP, potentially back to full.
** The sandstorm finishes the opponent off at end of turn.
** Possible to rinse and repeat for the remainder of battle.

Can anyone verify this? The obvious counter-tactics appear to be:
* Pokemon immune to Sandstorm
* Swipe moves
* Nullifying either Aron's ability (Mold Breaker, Skill Swap, etc.) or item (Knock Off, Embargo, etc.) prior to attack

--''[[User:Stratelier|Stratelier]] 19:33, 31 January 2011 (UTC)''
:Well, I have already an Aron like this waiting in a box, and everything you mentioned is true. An another Sturdy combo is level 2 Probopass with Leftovers and knowing Pain Split, Protect and Magic Coat.----'''''無限の知性''''' ◎ [[User:Dennou Zenshi|ＤＥＮＮＯＵ]]'''[[Special:Random|◆]]'''[[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|ＺＥＮＳＨＩ]] 19:43, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

The title says it all. I personally think Aron is WAY too heavy for its height, even though it's a Rock-Steel type. Please discuss if you want to. [[User:Pressthebutton|Pressthebutton]] 21:00, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

== Georgia's Pawniard Likely Did NOT Evolve ==

Here's the deal: Pawniard can only learn Guillotine at level 62, and Georgia's Pawniard clearly knew Guillotine when it first appeared. However, Pawniard evolves into Bisharp 10 levels before. So, how did Pawniard evolve if it knew Guillotine? Who knows, maybe Georgia caught two Pawniard. [[User:Pressthebutton|Pressthebutton]] 01:51, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
P.S. GŌTTĀ CĀTCH THÉM ĀLL!
:There is so much wrong with that logic I don't even know where to begin. OK, first, levels are disregarded in the anime. Second, even if levels weren't disregarded in the anime, nothing would be stopping Georgia from stopping Pawniard's evolution until it learned Guillotine and then letting it evolve afterwards. Pawniard don't evolve ONLY at level 52. Level 52 is just the lowest level at which they can attempt to evolve. Pawniard will attempt to evolve at all levels from 52 to 100. Third, even assuming the rest of your logic was right, Pawniard can be bred to know Guillotine at level 1. - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno.

:No. It ''does'' already list the important things that pertain to Burgundy. Of course it lists every episode she's been in; she's only been in five episodes.

I know it's just battled, but so has Conkeldurr. Yes he appeared in three and like a half episodes. But other then evolving(which Dewott has too), he hasn't done anything of note either. The only time he appeared outside of battle was at the start of the Donamite for like a minute.[[User:1rkhachatryan|RBK]] 06:32, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

:In my opinion, Dewott just battled Cilan and lost. Cilan then evaluated it and Burgundy got mad. In short, Burgundy started the rivalry herself not Dewott.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:58, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

Yes but she got mad at the words Dento said about Dewott, again, no Dewott, no rivalry. Also Timburr had nothing to do with that devolopement, it was all Trip. As you said, Timburr just battled and lost, same as Dewott, you can't just use that for one pokemon and not the other.[[User:1rkhachatryan|RBK]] 07:04, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
:Conkeldurr still did more than Dewott. Heck, it has more appearances than Servine now. Appeared in five episodes while Dewott appeared in three, one at the very end of the episode. Not to mention the status of the characters. Trip appears more often than Burgundy and is also Ash's first rival if the region. It be wiser to wait to see if Burgundy appears more outside of the arc episodes, discounting the debut appearance, and use Dewott in said episodes. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 07:21, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

'''Absol''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アブソル''' ''Absol'') is a {{type2|Dark}} Pokémon.

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Absol is a quadrupedal felid Pokémon. Its dark blue to gray body is covered in white fur, with a ruff around its neck and chest, and a tuft on the top of its head adorned with a single blue-black oval. It has a cat-like face, a scythe-like tail and a sickle-shaped growth on the side of its head. Its body is sleek and feline, making it well suited for its life in the mountains. Its broad, circular feet are equipped with three claws each, and spikes protrude from the heels of its hind legs and the elbows of its anterior legs. Its head resembles a Yin-Yang symbol.

====Gender differences====
None

===Special abilities===
Using its horn, Absol is able to predict when a natural disaster will occur and tries to warn people when one is approaching. This often has the unfortunate effect of Absol itself being blamed for the disaster. The sickle that protrudes from an Absol's head is sharp enough to cut clean slices through metal and rock.

===Behavior===
It sharply senses even subtle changes in the sky and the land to predict natural disasters. Although Absol rarely venture down into areas inhabited by humans, when they do it is to warn people of the impending catastrophe. Absol tend to be quiet and observant Pokémon. They often carry an air of intelligence and serenity about them, though some can become violent and ill-willed if mistreated. Absol can be extremely vicious adversaries in battle and are known to deal attacks with flawless precision.

===Habitat===
[[File:Mountain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon}}]]
Absol tend to live in mountainous regions and forests far away from people.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Izabe Island Absol.png|right|219px|thumb|Absol in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Absol first appeared in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. The Disaster Pokémon showed up to take {{p|Jirachi}} back to [[Forina]]. However, Absol wasn't evil, and helped Jirachi once it returned to Forina.

The Disaster Pokémon made its first anime appearance in ''[[AG107|Absol-ute Disaster]]''. The people of a town were blaming Absol for all the bad things that were happening to their town during the past month. {{Ash}} and friends (along with a boy named [[Nicky]]) went out to search whether or not the accusations were true. They found out that the Absol was actually warning the town about a flood.

[[Drew]] captured and trained an Absol for the [[Kanto]] [[Grand Festival]], as seen in ''[[AG180|May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!]]''

===Minor appearances===
An Absol owned by [[Mollie]] appeared in ''[[AG167|What I Did for Love!]]'' She used it in a {{pkmn|Contest}} where it battled [[Brock's Marshtomp]] and lost.

An Absol appeared in ''[[DP020|Mutiny in the Bounty]]'', captured by the evil [[Pokémon Hunter|Hunter]] [[J]] and [[J's henchmen|her henchmen]] after [[Ash's Pikachu]], [[Melodi]]'s {{p|Gardevoir}} and {{TRT}}'s {{MTR}} got stolen. The Absol was returned to its rightful owner after Ash, Team Rocket, and Melodi reunited with their Pokémon and some of J's minions were arrested.

An Absol made a brief cameo in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'' and ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''.

==Trivia==
* Although several of Absol's Pokédex entries claim that it can sense disaster, it cannot have the abilites {{a|Anticipation}} or {{a|Forewarn}}.
** It can, however, learn {{m|Future Sight}}.
* Absol has the highest Attack of any non-legendary Pokémon which is not a part of an evolutionary family.
* Absol is the only Pokémon that can learn {{m|Psycho Cut}} by level that is not a {{type2|Psychic}} itself.
* Absol appears on [[Mt. Coronet]] in places that one can first access when heading to [[Spear Pillar]] for {{v2|Platinum}}'s climax, where a disaster is about to occur.
**Similarly, in Pokémon Black and White, Absol can be found at the [[Giant Chasm]], a place where disasters are said to befall Trainers and [[Unova Route 13|Route 13]], 13 being an unlucky number.
* Absol was the last answer to the [[Pokémon Trainer's Choice]].
* Absol learns the most variations of {{m|Slash}} of any Pokémon (barring {{p|Smeargle}}). In addition to Slash itself, it can learn {{m|Night Slash}}, {{m|Psycho Cut}} and {{m|Shadow Claw}}. The only variation Absol cannot learn is {{m|Cross Poison}}.
* Absol is the only non-[[legendary Pokémon]] featured on the box art for {{g|Box Ruby & Sapphire}}, though it often appears in legends.
* Absol is the only {{type2|Dark}} Pokémon in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by color|White|white color group}}.
* Absol learns the most moves of all non-Legendary Pokémon: 78.
* In Pokémon Ranger, Absol deals the most damage to the Styler, at 6, even over Metagross.

===Origin===
Absol is most likely based on the Bai Ze of Chinese mythology, also known as the {{wp|kutabe}} or hakutaku. It is generally described as a white beast that can take the form of a large mountainous lion, distinguished by having one or two horns on its head. They also are said to sometimes have an extra eye on their head or back. This "eye" could also be the middle symbol that appears on Absol's forehead. Absol's head is modeled after a {{wp|Yin and yang|Taijitu ("yin-yang")}}.
The Bai Ze (kutabe) predicted that a plague would sweep through the Toyama Prefecture of Japan. It is considered to be intelligent, and gifted with the ability to understand human speech. This would also match the fact of Absol's independence, habitat, and body seeing to be reminiscent of a {{wp|mountain lion|cougar}} and its independent nature. It may be also be based on the {{wp|black cat}} superstition. Absol's humanized face and feline appearance may also be a homage to the {{wp|sphinx}}. A less likely theory is that it may be derived from the white {{wp|Chamois|chamois}}, a mountain dwelling goat like animal of which local superstition claims to represent the embodiment of death and if should any hunter harm one, would die within the year.

====Name origin====
Absol may derive from 物騒 ''bussō'' (dangerous), or it may be a combination of ''Ab'' (prefix meaning away or departure) and ''sol'' (Latin for ''sun''), referring to its {{type2|Dark}} nature. It may also be a shortening of ''absolution'' or ''absolve'', referring to that while Absol foretells disasters, it does not cause them, thereby absolving it of guilt. It may also derive from ''Absalom'', a name which is said to bring bad luck, according to in Jewish tradition.

'''Absol''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アブソル''' ''Absol'') is a {{type2|Dark}} Pokémon.

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Absol is a quadrupedal felid Pokémon. Its dark blue to gray body is covered in white fur, with a ruff around its neck and chest, and a tuft on the top of its head adorned with a single blue-black oval. It has a cat-like face, a scythe-like tail and a sickle-shaped growth on the side of its head. Its body is sleek and feline, making it well suited for its life in the mountains. Its broad, circular feet are equipped with three claws each, and spikes protrude from the heels of its hind legs and the elbows of its anterior legs. Its head resembles a Yin-Yang symbol.

====Gender differences====
None

===Special abilities===
Using its horn, Absol is able to predict when a natural disaster will occur and tries to warn people when one is approaching. This often has the unfortunate effect of Absol itself being blamed for the disaster. The sickle that protrudes from an Absol's head is sharp enough to cut clean slices through metal and rock.

===Behavior===
It sharply senses even subtle changes in the sky and the land to predict natural disasters. Although Absol rarely venture down into areas inhabited by humans, when they do it is to warn people of the impending catastrophe. Absol tend to be quiet and observant Pokémon. They often carry an air of intelligence and serenity about them, though some can become violent and ill-willed if mistreated. Absol can be extremely vicious adversaries in battle and are known to deal attacks with flawless precision.

===Habitat===
[[File:Mountain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon}}]]
Absol tend to live in mountainous regions and forests far away from people.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Izabe Island Absol.png|right|219px|thumb|Absol in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Absol first appeared in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. The Disaster Pokémon showed up to take {{p|Jirachi}} back to [[Forina]]. However, Absol wasn't evil, and helped Jirachi once it returned to Forina.

The Disaster Pokémon made its first anime appearance in ''[[AG107|Absol-ute Disaster]]''. The people of a town were blaming Absol for all the bad things that were happening to their town during the past month. {{Ash}} and friends (along with a boy named [[Nicky]]) went out to search whether or not the accusations were true. They found out that the Absol was actually warning the town about a flood.

[[Drew]] captured and trained an Absol for the [[Kanto]] [[Grand Festival]], as seen in ''[[AG180|May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!]]''

===Minor appearances===
An Absol owned by [[Mollie]] appeared in ''[[AG167|What I Did for Love!]]'' She used it in a {{pkmn|Contest}} where it battled [[Brock's Marshtomp]] and lost.

An Absol appeared in ''[[DP020|Mutiny in the Bounty]]'', captured by the evil [[Pokémon Hunter|Hunter]] [[J]] and [[J's henchmen|her henchmen]] after [[Ash's Pikachu]], [[Melodi]]'s {{p|Gardevoir}} and {{TRT}}'s {{MTR}} got stolen. The Absol was returned to its rightful owner after Ash, Team Rocket, and Melodi reunited with their Pokémon and some of J's minions were arrested.

An Absol made a brief cameo in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'' and ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''.

==Trivia==
* Although several of Absol's Pokédex entries claim that it can sense disaster, it cannot have the abilites {{a|Anticipation}} or {{a|Forewarn}}.
** It can, however, learn {{m|Future Sight}}.
*** No other Dark-type Pokemon can learn {{m|Future Sight}}.
* Absol has the highest Attack of any non-legendary Pokémon which is not a part of an evolutionary family.
* Absol is the only Pokémon that can learn {{m|Psycho Cut}} by level that is not a {{type2|Psychic}} itself.
* Absol appears on [[Mt. Coronet]] in places that one can first access when heading to [[Spear Pillar]] for {{v2|Platinum}}'s climax, where a disaster is about to occur.
**Similarly, in Pokémon Black and White, Absol can be found at the [[Giant Chasm]], a place where disasters are said to befall Trainers and [[Unova Route 13|Route 13]], 13 being an unlucky number.
* Absol was the last answer to the [[Pokémon Trainer's Choice]].
* Absol learns the most variations of {{m|Slash}} of any Pokémon (barring {{p|Smeargle}}). In addition to Slash itself, it can learn {{m|Night Slash}}, {{m|Psycho Cut}} and {{m|Shadow Claw}}. The only variation Absol cannot learn is {{m|Cross Poison}}.
* Absol is the only non-[[legendary Pokémon]] featured on the box art for {{g|Box Ruby & Sapphire}}, though it often appears in legends.
* Absol is the only {{type2|Dark}} Pokémon in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by color|White|white color group}}.
* Absol learns the most moves of all non-Legendary Pokémon: 78.
* In Pokémon Ranger, Absol deals the most damage to the Styler, at 6, even over Metagross.
* Absol is the only Dark-type Pokemon that can have the ability {{a|Justified}}.
** Absol is also the only pure Dark-type Pokemon that can have the ability {{a|Pressure}} and the ability {{a|Super Luck}}.
*** Furthermore, Absol is the only Pokemon whose ability can either be {{a|Pressure}}, {{a|Super Luck}}, or {{a|Justified}}.

===Origin===
Absol is most likely based on the Bai Ze of Chinese mythology, also known as the {{wp|kutabe}} or hakutaku. It is generally described as a white beast that can take the form of a large mountainous lion, distinguished by having one or two horns on its head. They also are said to sometimes have an extra eye on their head or back. This "eye" could also be the middle symbol that appears on Absol's forehead. Absol's head is modeled after a {{wp|Yin and yang|Taijitu ("yin-yang")}}.
The Bai Ze (kutabe) predicted that a plague would sweep through the Toyama Prefecture of Japan. It is considered to be intelligent, and gifted with the ability to understand human speech. This would also match the fact of Absol's independence, habitat, and body seeing to be reminiscent of a {{wp|mountain lion|cougar}} and its independent nature. It may be also be based on the {{wp|black cat}} superstition. Absol's humanized face and feline appearance may also be a homage to the {{wp|sphinx}}. A less likely theory is that it may be derived from the white {{wp|Chamois|chamois}}, a mountain dwelling goat like animal of which local superstition claims to represent the embodiment of death and if should any hunter harm one, would die within the year.

====Name origin====
Absol may derive from 物騒 ''bussō'' (dangerous), or it may be a combination of ''Ab'' (prefix meaning away or departure) and ''sol'' (Latin for ''sun''), referring to its {{type2|Dark}} nature. It may also be a shortening of ''absolution'' or ''absolve'', referring to that while Absol foretells disasters, it does not cause them, thereby absolving it of guilt. It may also derive from ''Absalom'', a name which is said to bring bad luck, according to in Jewish tradition.

'''Absol''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アブソル''' ''Absol'') is a {{type2|Dark}} Pokémon.

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Absol is a quadrupedal felid Pokémon. Its dark blue to gray body is covered in white fur, with a ruff around its neck and chest, and a tuft on the top of its head adorned with a single blue-black oval. It has a cat-like face, a scythe-like tail and a sickle-shaped growth on the side of its head. Its body is sleek and feline, making it well suited for its life in the mountains. Its broad, circular feet are equipped with three claws each, and spikes protrude from the heels of its hind legs and the elbows of its anterior legs. Its head resembles a Yin-Yang symbol.

====Gender differences====
None

===Special abilities===
Using its horn, Absol is able to predict when a natural disaster will occur and tries to warn people when one is approaching. This often has the unfortunate effect of Absol itself being blamed for the disaster. The sickle that protrudes from an Absol's head is sharp enough to cut clean slices through metal and rock.

===Behavior===
It sharply senses even subtle changes in the sky and the land to predict natural disasters. Although Absol rarely venture down into areas inhabited by humans, when they do it is to warn people of the impending catastrophe. Absol tend to be quiet and observant Pokémon. They often carry an air of intelligence and serenity about them, though some can become violent and ill-willed if mistreated. Absol can be extremely vicious adversaries in battle and are known to deal attacks with flawless precision.

===Habitat===
[[File:Mountain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon}}]]
Absol tend to live in mountainous regions and forests far away from people.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Izabe Island Absol.png|right|219px|thumb|Absol in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Absol first appeared in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. The Disaster Pokémon showed up to take {{p|Jirachi}} back to [[Forina]]. However, Absol wasn't evil, and helped Jirachi once it returned to Forina.

The Disaster Pokémon made its first anime appearance in ''[[AG107|Absol-ute Disaster]]''. The people of a town were blaming Absol for all the bad things that were happening to their town during the past month. {{Ash}} and friends (along with a boy named [[Nicky]]) went out to search whether or not the accusations were true. They found out that the Absol was actually warning the town about a flood.

[[Drew]] captured and trained an Absol for the [[Kanto]] [[Grand Festival]], as seen in ''[[AG180|May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!]]''

===Minor appearances===
An Absol owned by [[Mollie]] appeared in ''[[AG167|What I Did for Love!]]'' She used it in a {{pkmn|Contest}} where it battled [[Brock's Marshtomp]] and lost.

An Absol appeared in ''[[DP020|Mutiny in the Bounty]]'', captured by the evil [[Pokémon Hunter|Hunter]] [[J]] and [[J's henchmen|her henchmen]] after [[Ash's Pikachu]], [[Melodi]]'s {{p|Gardevoir}} and {{TRT}}'s {{MTR}} got stolen. The Absol was returned to its rightful owner after Ash, Team Rocket, and Melodi reunited with their Pokémon and some of J's minions were arrested.

An Absol made a brief cameo in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'' and ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''.

==Trivia==
* Although several of Absol's Pokédex entries claim that it can sense disaster, it cannot have the abilites {{a|Anticipation}} or {{a|Forewarn}}.
** It can, however, learn {{m|Future Sight}}.
* Absol has the highest Attack of any non-legendary Pokémon which is not a part of an evolutionary family.
* Absol is the only Pokémon that can learn {{m|Psycho Cut}} by level that is not a {{type2|Psychic}} itself.
* Absol appears on [[Mt. Coronet]] in places that one can first access when heading to [[Spear Pillar]] for {{v2|Platinum}}'s climax, where a disaster is about to occur.
**Similarly, in Pokémon Black and White, Absol can be found at the [[Giant Chasm]], a place where disasters are said to befall Trainers and [[Unova Route 13|Route 13]], 13 being an unlucky number.
* Absol was the last answer to the [[Pokémon Trainer's Choice]].
* Absol learns the most variations of {{m|Slash}} of any Pokémon (barring {{p|Smeargle}}). In addition to Slash itself, it can learn {{m|Night Slash}}, {{m|Psycho Cut}} and {{m|Shadow Claw}}. The only variation Absol cannot learn is {{m|Cross Poison}}.
* Absol is the only non-[[legendary Pokémon]] featured on the box art for {{g|Box Ruby & Sapphire}}, though it often appears in legends.
* Absol is the only {{type2|Dark}} Pokémon in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by color|White|white color group}}.
* Absol learns the most moves of all non-Legendary Pokémon: 78.
* In Pokémon Ranger, Absol deals the most damage to the Styler, at 6, even over Metagross.
* Absol is the only Dark-type Pokemon that can have the ability {{a|Justified}}.
** Absol is also the only pure Dark-type Pokemon that can have the ability {{a|Pressure}} and the ability {{a|Super Luck}}.
*** Furthermore, Absol is the only Pokemon whose ability can either be {{a|Pressure}}, {{a|Super Luck}}, or {{a|Justified}}.

===Origin===
Absol is most likely based on the Bai Ze of Chinese mythology, also known as the {{wp|kutabe}} or hakutaku. It is generally described as a white beast that can take the form of a large mountainous lion, distinguished by having one or two horns on its head. They also are said to sometimes have an extra eye on their head or back. This "eye" could also be the middle symbol that appears on Absol's forehead. Absol's head is modeled after a {{wp|Yin and yang|Taijitu ("yin-yang")}}.
The Bai Ze (kutabe) predicted that a plague would sweep through the Toyama Prefecture of Japan. It is considered to be intelligent, and gifted with the ability to understand human speech. This would also match the fact of Absol's independence, habitat, and body seeing to be reminiscent of a {{wp|mountain lion|cougar}} and its independent nature. It may be also be based on the {{wp|black cat}} superstition. Absol's humanized face and feline appearance may also be a homage to the {{wp|sphinx}}. A less likely theory is that it may be derived from the white {{wp|Chamois|chamois}}, a mountain dwelling goat like animal of which local superstition claims to represent the embodiment of death and if should any hunter harm one, would die within the year.

====Name origin====
Absol may derive from 物騒 ''bussō'' (dangerous), or it may be a combination of ''Ab'' (prefix meaning away or departure) and ''sol'' (Latin for ''sun''), referring to its {{type2|Dark}} nature. It may also be a shortening of ''absolution'' or ''absolve'', referring to that while Absol foretells disasters, it does not cause them, thereby absolving it of guilt. It may also derive from ''Absalom'', a name which is said to bring bad luck, according to in Jewish tradition.

'''Absol''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アブソル''' ''Absol'') is a {{type2|Dark}} Pokémon.

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Absol is a quadrupedal felid Pokémon. Its dark blue to gray body is covered in white fur, with a ruff around its neck and chest, and a tuft on the top of its head adorned with a single blue-black oval. It has a cat-like face, a scythe-like tail and a sickle-shaped growth on the side of its head. Its body is sleek and feline, making it well suited for its life in the mountains. Its broad, circular feet are equipped with three claws each, and spikes protrude from the heels of its hind legs and the elbows of its anterior legs. Its head resembles a Yin-Yang symbol.

====Gender differences====
None

===Special abilities===
Using its horn, Absol is able to predict when a natural disaster will occur and tries to warn people when one is approaching. This often has the unfortunate effect of Absol itself being blamed for the disaster. The sickle that protrudes from an Absol's head is sharp enough to cut clean slices through metal and rock.

===Behavior===
It sharply senses even subtle changes in the sky and the land to predict natural disasters. Although Absol rarely venture down into areas inhabited by humans, when they do it is to warn people of the impending catastrophe. Absol tend to be quiet and observant Pokémon. They often carry an air of intelligence and serenity about them, though some can become violent and ill-willed if mistreated. Absol can be extremely vicious adversaries in battle and are known to deal attacks with flawless precision.

===Habitat===
[[File:Mountain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon}}]]
Absol tend to live in mountainous regions and forests far away from people.

==In the anime==
[[File:Izabe Island Absol.png|right|219px|thumb|Absol in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Absol first appeared in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. The Disaster Pokémon showed up to take {{p|Jirachi}} back to [[Forina]]. However, Absol wasn't evil, and helped Jirachi once it returned to Forina.

The Disaster Pokémon made its first anime appearance in ''[[AG107|Absol-ute Disaster]]''. The people of a town were blaming Absol for all the bad things that were happening to their town during the past month. {{Ash}} and friends (along with a boy named [[Nicky]]) went out to search whether or not the accusations were true. They found out that the Absol was actually warning the town about a flood.

[[Drew]] captured and trained an Absol for the [[Kanto]] [[Grand Festival]], as seen in ''[[AG180|May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!]]''

===Minor appearances===
An Absol owned by [[Mollie]] appeared in ''[[AG167|What I Did for Love!]]'' She used it in a {{pkmn|Contest}} where it battled [[Brock's Marshtomp]] and lost.

An Absol appeared in ''[[DP020|Mutiny in the Bounty]]'', captured by the evil [[Pokémon Hunter|Hunter]] [[J]] and [[J's henchmen|her henchmen]] after [[Ash's Pikachu]], [[Melodi]]'s {{p|Gardevoir}} and {{TRT}}'s {{MTR}} got stolen. The Absol was returned to its rightful owner after Ash, Team Rocket, and Melodi reunited with their Pokémon and some of J's minions were arrested.

An Absol made a brief cameo in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'' and ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''.

**Similarly, in Pokémon Black and White, Absol can be found at the [[Giant Chasm]], a place where disasters are said to befall Trainers and [[Unova Route 13|Route 13]], 13 being an unlucky number.
* Absol was the last answer to the [[Pokémon Trainer's Choice]].
* Absol learns the most variations of {{m|Slash}} of any Pokémon (barring {{p|Smeargle}}). In addition to Slash itself, it can learn {{m|Night Slash}}, {{m|Psycho Cut}} and {{m|Shadow Claw}}. The only variation Absol cannot learn is {{m|Cross Poison}}.
* Absol is the only non-[[legendary Pokémon]] featured on the box art for {{g|Box Ruby & Sapphire}}, though it often appears in legends.
* Absol is the only {{type2|Dark}} Pokémon in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by color|White|white color group}}.

* Absol is the only Dark-type Pokemon that can have the ability {{a|Justified}}.
** Absol is also the only pure Dark-type Pokemon that can have the ability {{a|Pressure}} and the ability {{a|Super Luck}}

===Origin===
Absol is most likely based on the Bai Ze of Chinese mythology, also known as the {{wp|kutabe}} or hakutaku. It is generally described as a white beast that can take the form of a large mountainous lion, distinguished by having one or two horns on its head. They also are said to sometimes have an extra eye on their head or back. This "eye" could also be the middle symbol that appears on Absol's forehead. Absol's head is modeled after a {{wp|Yin and yang|Taijitu ("yin-yang")}}.
The Bai Ze (kutabe) predicted that a plague would sweep through the Toyama Prefecture of Japan. It is considered to be intelligent, and gifted with the ability to understand human speech. This would also match the fact of Absol's independence, habitat, and body seeing to be reminiscent of a {{wp|mountain lion|cougar}} and its independent nature. It may be also be based on the {{wp|black cat}} superstition. Absol's humanized face and feline appearance may also be a homage to the {{wp|sphinx}}. A less likely theory is that it may be derived from the white {{wp|Chamois|chamois}}, a mountain dwelling goat like animal of which local superstition claims to represent the embodiment of death and if should any hunter harm one, would die within the year.

====Name origin====
Absol may derive from 物騒 ''bussō'' (dangerous), or it may be a combination of ''Ab'' (prefix meaning away or departure) and ''sol'' (Latin for ''sun''), referring to its {{type2|Dark}} nature. It may also be a shortening of ''absolution'' or ''absolve'', referring to that while Absol foretells disasters, it does not cause them, thereby absolving it of guilt. It may also derive from ''Absalom'', a name which is said to bring bad luck, according to in Jewish tradition.

'''Absol''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アブソル''' ''Absol'') is a {{type2|Dark}} Pokémon.

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Absol is a quadrupedal felid Pokémon. Its dark blue to gray body is covered in white fur, with a ruff around its neck and chest, and a tuft on the top of its head adorned with a single blue-black oval. It has a cat-like face, a scythe-like tail and a sickle-shaped growth on the side of its head. Its body is sleek and feline, making it well suited for its life in the mountains. Its broad, circular feet are equipped with three claws each, and spikes protrude from the heels of its hind legs and the elbows of its anterior legs. Its head resembles a Yin-Yang symbol.

====Gender differences====
None

===Special abilities===
Using its horn, Absol is able to predict when a natural disaster will occur and tries to warn people when one is approaching. This often has the unfortunate effect of Absol itself being blamed for the disaster. The sickle that protrudes from an Absol's head is sharp enough to cut clean slices through metal and rock.

===Behavior===
It sharply senses even subtle changes in the sky and the land to predict natural disasters. Although Absol rarely venture down into areas inhabited by humans, when they do it is to warn people of the impending catastrophe. Absol tend to be quiet and observant Pokémon. They often carry an air of intelligence and serenity about them, though some can become violent and ill-willed if mistreated. Absol can be extremely vicious adversaries in battle and are known to deal attacks with flawless precision.

===Habitat===
[[File:Mountain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon}}]]
Absol tend to live in mountainous regions and forests far away from people.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Izabe Island Absol.png|right|219px|thumb|Absol in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Absol first appeared in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. The Disaster Pokémon showed up to take {{p|Jirachi}} back to [[Forina]]. However, Absol wasn't evil, and helped Jirachi once it returned to Forina.

The Disaster Pokémon made its first anime appearance in ''[[AG107|Absol-ute Disaster]]''. The people of a town were blaming Absol for all the bad things that were happening to their town during the past month. {{Ash}} and friends (along with a boy named [[Nicky]]) went out to search whether or not the accusations were true. They found out that the Absol was actually warning the town about a flood.

[[Drew]] captured and trained an Absol for the [[Kanto]] [[Grand Festival]], as seen in ''[[AG180|May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!]]''

===Minor appearances===
An Absol owned by [[Mollie]] appeared in ''[[AG167|What I Did for Love!]]'' She used it in a {{pkmn|Contest}} where it battled [[Brock's Marshtomp]] and lost.

An Absol appeared in ''[[DP020|Mutiny in the Bounty]]'', captured by the evil [[Pokémon Hunter|Hunter]] [[J]] and [[J's henchmen|her henchmen]] after [[Ash's Pikachu]], [[Melodi]]'s {{p|Gardevoir}} and {{TRT}}'s {{MTR}} got stolen. The Absol was returned to its rightful owner after Ash, Team Rocket, and Melodi reunited with their Pokémon and some of J's minions were arrested.

An Absol made a brief cameo in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'' and ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''.

==Trivia==
* Although several of Absol's Pokédex entries claim that it can sense disaster, it cannot have the abilites {{a|Anticipation}} or {{a|Forewarn}}.
** It can, however, learn {{m|Future Sight}}.
* Absol has the highest Attack of any non-legendary Pokémon which is not a part of an evolutionary family.
* Absol is the only Pokémon that can learn {{m|Psycho Cut}} by level that is not a {{type2|Psychic}} itself.
* Absol appears on [[Mt. Coronet]] in places that one can first access when heading to [[Spear Pillar]] for {{v2|Platinum}}'s climax, where a disaster is about to occur.
**Similarly, in Pokémon Black and White, Absol can be found at the [[Giant Chasm]], a place where disasters are said to befall Trainers and [[Unova Route 13|Route 13]], 13 being an unlucky number.
* Absol was the last answer to the [[Pokémon Trainer's Choice]].
* Absol learns the most variations of {{m|Slash}} of any Pokémon (barring {{p|Smeargle}}). In addition to Slash itself, it can learn {{m|Night Slash}}, {{m|Psycho Cut}} and {{m|Shadow Claw}}. The only variation Absol cannot learn is {{m|Cross Poison}}.
* Absol is the only non-[[legendary Pokémon]] featured on the box art for {{g|Box Ruby & Sapphire}}, though it often appears in legends.
* Absol is the only {{type2|Dark}} Pokémon in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by color|White|white color group}}.
* Absol learns the most moves of all non-Legendary Pokémon: 78.
* In Pokémon Ranger, Absol deals the most damage to the Styler, at 6, even over Metagross.
* Absol is the only Dark-type Pokemon that can have the ability {{a|Justified}}.

===Origin===
Absol is most likely based on the Bai Ze of Chinese mythology, also known as the {{wp|kutabe}} or hakutaku. It is generally described as a white beast that can take the form of a large mountainous lion, distinguished by having one or two horns on its head. They also are said to sometimes have an extra eye on their head or back. This "eye" could also be the middle symbol that appears on Absol's forehead. Absol's head is modeled after a {{wp|Yin and yang|Taijitu ("yin-yang")}}.
The Bai Ze (kutabe) predicted that a plague would sweep through the Toyama Prefecture of Japan. It is considered to be intelligent, and gifted with the ability to understand human speech. This would also match the fact of Absol's independence, habitat, and body seeing to be reminiscent of a {{wp|mountain lion|cougar}} and its independent nature. It may be also be based on the {{wp|black cat}} superstition. Absol's humanized face and feline appearance may also be a homage to the {{wp|sphinx}}. A less likely theory is that it may be derived from the white {{wp|Chamois|chamois}}, a mountain dwelling goat like animal of which local superstition claims to represent the embodiment of death and if should any hunter harm one, would die within the year.

====Name origin====
Absol may derive from 物騒 ''bussō'' (dangerous), or it may be a combination of ''Ab'' (prefix meaning away or departure) and ''sol'' (Latin for ''sun''), referring to its {{type2|Dark}} nature. It may also be a shortening of ''absolution'' or ''absolve'', referring to that while Absol foretells disasters, it does not cause them, thereby absolving it of guilt. It may also derive from ''Absalom'', a name which is said to bring bad luck, according to in Jewish tradition.

'''Lavender Town''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|シオンタウン|Shion Taun}}''' ''Shion Town'') is a small town located in northeast [[Kanto]], just south of the [[Rock Tunnel]]. Though the Lavender Town of [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]] is known mainly for ghost sightings in the [[Pokémon Tower]] and as the main gravesite of Pokémon, it is noticeably modernized in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] with the inclusion of a broadcasting station.

According to the citizens of the town during Generations I and III, Lavender Town is known as the grave site of Pokémon. All the memorial services are held in [[Pokémon Tower]]. According to local citizens, the [[Literal ghost|ghosts]] that appear in the Tower are the spirits of Pokémon that have died or were killed (the latter is the case with the mother [[Marowak (literal ghost)|Marowak]] in the tower, which died at [[Team Rocket]]'s hands).
North of Lavender is {{rt|10|Kanto}} and the [[Rock Tunnel]]. West of the town is {{rt|8|Kanto}}, while to the south is {{rt|12|Kanto}} and the [[Silence Bridge]].

==Places of interest==
===Pokémon Tower===
{{Main|Pokémon Tower}}
In [[Generation I]], Pokémon Tower is a seven-floor graveyard that holds the grave of departed Pokémon. On all seven floors, the tower houses hundreds of graves of deceased {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Many people visit the building daily to pay their respects to the fallen. On all floors other than the first two, though, the possibility of being attacked by [[wild Pokémon]] is present. Populated by {{tc|Channeler}}s, it was notable for numerous ghost sightings (Pokémon killed by [[Team Rocket]]), as well as the location of Team Rocket's kidnapping of [[Mr. Fuji]]. Although players can encounter {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon here, they can not be seen or captured unless they have a [[Silph Scope]].

Aside from graves, the tower is home to wild {{p|Cubone}} as well as many {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon. In [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]], [[Team Rocket]] tried to steal the Cubone to sell their valuable skulls. In the process, a mother {{p|Marowak}} that was protecting her Cubone child was killed. [[Literal ghost|The ghost]] of the mother Marowak haunted the tower until {{ga|Red}}/{{ga|Leaf}} was able to knock it out, setting her spirit free. The Ghost-type Pokémon in the tower appear to have a unique ability to disguise themselves as the ghosts of humans. However, a [[Silph Scope]] will reveal their true natures and identity, allowing the Pokémon to be engaged in battle. Any Pokémon who attempts to fight ghosts without a Silph Scope will be "too scared to move."

===Kanto Radio Tower===
In [[Generation II]] and {{gen|IV}}, the tower was converted to the Kanto Radio Tower, with all graves being moved to either the [[House of Memories]] or underground. The new House of Memories is placed where the [[Poké Mart]] has been before. The Kanto radio tower can be entered, like its [[Goldenrod Radio Tower|Johto counterpart]], but only the ground floor, as the upper floors are completely off limits. This was done to prevent a similar take over that was seen in Johto. Talking to the receptionist on the ground floor, the player can receive a [[Pokégear]] radio card for Kanto.

The Radio Tower broadcasts music and radio programs, including the [[Poké Flute]] channel, to the radios and [[Pokégear]] of Kanto. After restoring power to Kanto by fixing the generator at the [[Power Plant]], trainers can receive the {{DL|Pokégear|Radio|EXPN Card}} from the manager of the tower, allowing Pokégears to tune into the Poké Flute channel, which can be used to move {{p|Snorlax}} from its slumber. Unlike the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]] in [[Goldenrod City]], only one floor, the ground floor, is open to the public as a result of [[Team Rocket]]'s infiltration of the Goldenrod tower. The stairs in [[Generation II]] lead down into a basement instead of up into the tower, but the player is blocked by a guard.

===Lavender Volunteer Pokémon House===
[[File:Lavender Volunteer Pokémon House.png|240px|thumb|right|The inside of the Volunteer House]]
The Lavender Volunteer Pokémon House, located in central Lavender Town, was founded by [[Mr. Fuji]]. The organization exists to care for abandoned and orphaned Pokémon. Many members of the organization live in the safe house, looking after the abandoned Pokémon. Many Pokémon have stayed at the Volunteer Pokémon House over time, including {{p|Psyduck}}, {{p|Nidorino}} and after the Team Rocket attack on the Pokémon Tower, {{p|Cubone}}. {{p|Cubone}} has been Mr. Fuji's biggest concern ever since the attack on the Pokémon Tower and the death of [[Marowak (literal ghost)|its mother]], praying for it every night and caring for it everyday in the Volunteer Pokémon House. After going through the Pokémon Tower and defeating Team Rocket, Mr. Fuji will give the player a [[Poké Flute]] in gratitude.

The Lavender Volunteer Pokémon House is in fact Mr. Fuji's own house, however, it is designed for abandoned Pokémon. There is a pen in the corner for Pokémon to play in, and a kitchen area that has a delicious smelling odor admitting from it. There are also Pokémon magazines lined on the shelf, such as the Pokémon Insider, Pokémon Fan, and on the table there is an open copy of Pokémon Fan Magazine with a clipping of the Monthly Grand Prize Draw application form missing. In addition to this there are several different kind of pot plants around the room and a TV with a show about a Pokémon having fun.

===Name Rater===
{{main|Name Rater}}

The Name Rater is located in the south end of town, and allows the player to change, or grant a nickname to any of their Pokémon. If the Pokémon was caught by the player that currently owns it, he'll say that the name could be better and offer the player the option of changing it. If the Pokémon he's judging was obtained via a trade, he will say that the name is perfect and refuse to change it. However, if both players have identical [[Trainer ID number|trainer IDs and secret IDs]], he will allow name changes.

===House of Memories===
{{main|House of Memories}}
The House of Memories, named Soul House in [[Generation II]], is a small building located on the south-eastern side of Lavender Town during the events of Generation II and IV. The House of Memories was built to hold graves from the [[Pokémon Tower]] when it was converted to the Kanto Radio Tower. There are many chambers within the building, but they cannot be accessed by anyone other than [[Mr. Fuji]]. There are no wild Pokémon or {{pkmn|battle|Trainer battles}} found within the House of Memories.

==Demographics==
===Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen===
Lavender Town's population is 41, making it the largest town in the [[Pokémon world]]. Most of the population here are brought up living around the [[Pokémon Tower]], so they believe in ghosts and they are very religious, attending services at the Tower and praying for Pokémon's well-being. The number makes it the third largest settlement in Kanto.

===Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver===
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the population of Lavender Town is 30. Lavender Town suffered a large decline in population from FireRed and LeafGreen to HeartGold and SoulSilver.

==Difference between generations==
===Generation I and III===
Lavender Town is very consistent in the way of layout, a [[Pokémon Center]] in the north-western district of the town, the [[Pokémon Tower]] on the eastern side of town, the Lavender Volunteer Pokémon House, located in central Lavender Town, the [[Name Rater]] and other residential house on the southern side, and the [[Poké Mart]] located on the south-eastern side. The Pokémon Tower in Generation I is cave-like on the outside with the Tower covered by rocks and mountain, however, this isn't the case in Generation III and the building is a complete tower. Apart from this, most aesthetic features have been enhanced. Trees have become bigger, the cement road has been changed to a gravel path, flowers are more visible and most other sprites have been upgraded to Generation III standards.

===Generation II and IV===
In [[Generation II]] and {{gen|IV}} only, the tower was converted into a Radio Tower, broadcasting music and radio programs, including the [[Poké Flute]] channel, to the radios and [[Pokégear]] of Kanto. Unlike the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]] in [[Goldenrod City]], only one floor, the ground floor, is open to the public as a result of [[Team Rocket]]'s infiltration of the Goldenrod tower. The stairs in [[Generation II]] lead down into a basement instead of up into the tower, but the player is blocked by a guard.

To compensate for the loss of the burial site, the graves were moved to a small building, the Soul House, at the south end of the town. Most of them were placed in secret chambers that only Mr. Fuji knows about. In Generation IV, the Soul House was renamed House of Memories. The House of Memories was built over the [[Poké Mart]], which was relocated next to the [[Pokémon Center]] in the north-western district of Lavender Town.

==In the spin-off games==
===In Pokémon Pinball===
In {{g|Pinball}}, Lavender Town appears on the Red table; catchable {{obp|Pokémon|species}} include {{p|Pidgey}}, {{p|Ekans}}, {{p|Mankey}}, {{p|Growlithe}}, {{p|Magnemite}}, {{p|Gastly}}, {{p|Cubone}}, {{p|Electabuzz}} and {{p|Zapdos}}.

==In the anime==
In the anime, {{Ash}} travels to Lavender Town to catch a {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon to fight [[Sabrina]], and ends up befriending a {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}}. Only the [[Pokémon Tower]] is seen during the episode and it is different from the tower in the games. The tower is home to some playful {{p|Gengar}}, {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}} and {{p|Gastly}}. The {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Dome}} is also located near the city.

==In the manga==
===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
In the [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga, {{Ash}} visits Lavender Town in the chapter ''[[ET04|Haunting My Dreams]]''. After reuniting with {{an|Brock}} and challenging [[Sabrina]] in [[Saffron City]], they travel to Lavender Town when a giant {{p|Haunter}} who has been terrorizing people and Pokémon in the area for years sucks out Sabrina's soul. Originally planning to capture the Haunter, known as the Black Fog, it explodes using {{m|Selfdestruct}} rather than allow itself to be captured by humans.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}} of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, Lavender Town appears in ''[[PS013|Sigh For Psyduck]]'' and again in ''[[PS014|That Awful Arbok!]]''. {{adv|Red}} was traveling through Lavender Town when it was raining, trying to ask for a place to shelter, but the townspeople did not listen. Then, a man named [[Mr. Fuji]] came up to Red whilst paying his respects to his {{p|Doduo}}, which had passed away. At Mr. Fuji's home, Fuji told Red about a [[Pokémon Tower|cemetery]] that was haunted by [[Literal ghost|ghosts]], then telling Red that the townspeople wouldn't listen because they were afraid of the ghosts. He later told Red that {{adv|Blue}} had passed through, had gone to Lavender Tower, and hadn't come back for months.

So Red went there to investigate and found many gravestones. Then a {{p|Psyduck}} came out from behind the shadows only to find out it was a zombie, then other zombie Pokémon came out. Red decided to attack with [[Saur|Bulbasaur]]'s {{m|Razor Leaf}} to only do nothing, until Bulbasaur used {{m|Vine Whip}} which turned it to dust and bones. Suddenly all the other zombie Pokémon started attacking, under the control of a ghost. Red then saw Blue with his {{TP|Blue|Charmeleon|Charizard}} started attacking Red, suddenly a {{p|Gastly}} appeared only to be attacked by Blue which took the curse of Blue and his Charmeleon with a bit of help from Red. Suddenly, [[Koga]] appeared with an {{p|Arbok}} which was spewing venom everywhere. After a big battle, Blue's Charmeleon cut Arbok in half, and Koga made a hasty getaway with his {{p|Golbat}}. Mr. Fuji's {{p|Doduo}} had a place to rest in peace.

==Trivia==
* Lavender Town's Japanese motto is {{tt|シオンはむらさきとうといいろ|Shion wa murasaki toutoi iro}} "''Shion is the color of purple nobility.''"
* In the German versions, Lavender Town is called Lavandia, the same name as the French for [[Mauville City]].
* In early copies of the Japanese {{game|Red and Green|s}} and {{game|Blue|_(Japanese)}}, and the localized {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, Lavender Town's theme was slightly different and included a few high pitched notes in the background at certain intervals of its music. These were accidentally set an octave too high, and were corrected in later releases.
* Its English motto before [[Generation IV]] was "''The Noble Purple Town''".
* In the Japanese edition of the {{wp|Bible|Christian Bible}}, {{wp|Mt. Zion}} is called '''シオンの{{tt|山|さん}}''' ''{{tt|Shion no San|Mt. Shion}}'', which is the same as the Japanese name of Lavender Town.

Status condition

2012-05-19T22:52:43Z

Pressthebutton: /* Followed */

'''Status ailments''' affect a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s ability to battle. There are three kinds of status. The first are non-volatile, the second are volatile, and the third lasts while a Pokémon is in battle. The [[Pokérus]] is a similar but unrelated concept.

==Non-volatile status==
Non-volatile status ailments are status ailments that will remain until a Pokémon is healed at a [[Pokémon Center]], a specific [[status ailment healing item|curative item]] is used, or, in case of Freeze and Sleep, after a certain amount of turns during the battle. A Pokémon inflicted with a non-volatile status will still be affected after being pulled out of battle (unless they have the {{a|Natural Cure}} ability), and after a battle is over. It is only possible for a Pokémon to be afflicted by one of these at a time. In [[Generation III]] and beyond, certain [[Ability|Abilities]] will cause or prevent them, as well as benefit from them.

===Burn===
[[File:Ursaring Burn status.png|thumb|250px|{{TP|Paul|Ursaring}} is burned]]
{{main|Burn (status ailment)}}
The burn condition (BRN) reduces a Pokémon's Attack power by half (except for Pokémon with the {{a|Guts}} ability, where this condition raises Attack by 50%). Additionally, at the end of a turn, the Pokémon loses 1/8 its maximum hit points (in [[Generation I]] or in the case of Pokémon with the ability {{a|Heatproof}}, the Pokémon loses 1/16 of its maximum hit points). Normally {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon and Pokémon with the {{a|Water Veil}} ability cannot be burned; however, if a Pokémon is burned then has its type changed to Fire or its ability changed to Water Veil, the burn will remain. All [[Burn (status ailment)#Moves|moves which can cause burn]] are Fire-type except for {{m|Tri Attack}} ([[Generation II]] onwards), {{m|Fling}} when the {{DL|In-battle effect item|Flame Orb}} is held, {{m|Scald}} and {{m|Ice Burn}}. In Generation V, Pokémon glow red when afflicted with burn.

===Freeze===
[[File:Frozen Pokémon.png|left|thumb|250px|{{TP|Iris|Excadrill}} is frozen]]
{{main|Freeze (status ailment)}}
The freeze condition (FRZ) causes a Pokémon to be unable to make a move. Damaging {{type2|Fire}} moves used on a frozen Pokémon will remove the freeze status. As of [[Generation II]], freeze has a random, 20% chance to be cured on its own on the frozen Pokémon's turn. Consequently, the frozen Pokémon may thaw out on the turn of freezing; however, in [[Generation I]], a frozen Pokémon never thaws without external aid. Pokémon cannot be frozen in {{weather|sunny}} weather; contrary to popular belief, sunny weather does not cause a quicker thawing.

{{type2|Ice}} Pokémon cannot be frozen by Ice-type moves; however, they can be frozen by Tri Attack and Secret Power. A frozen Pokémon can still use the moves {{m|Fusion Flare}}, {{m|Flame Wheel}}, {{m|Sacred Fire}}, {{m|Flare Blitz}} and {{m|Scald}} while frozen; these moves will thaw the user, thaw the opponent if possible, and deal damage to the opponent. All [[Freeze (status ailment)#Moves|moves which cause freezing]] are Ice-type except Tri Attack (Generation II onwards) and Secret Power (when used in snow or ice; [[Generation IV]] only). It is also the only non-volatile status which has no move that causes it 100% of the time. The only move to provide more than a 10% chance of freezing is {{m|Secret Power}} when used on snow or ice, which provides a 30% chance. In Generation V, Pokémon glow blue and stop moving when afflicted with freeze.

A frozen [[Form differences#Shaymin|Sky Forme]] {{p|Shaymin}} will revert to its Land Forme.

===Paralysis===
[[File:Ash Pikachu Static.png|right|thumb|250px|{{TP|Paul|Ursaring}} is paralyzed]]
{{main|Paralysis (status ailment)}}
The paralysis condition (PAR) causes a Pokémon to be unable to attack ("fully paralyzed") a quarter of the time. Additionally, its Speed is reduced to 25% of its previous value (except for Pokémon with the {{a|Quick Feet}} ability, where this condition raises the Speed by 50%). Many [[Paralysis (status ailment)#Moves|moves that cause paralysis]] are of the {{t|Electric}} type. {{type|Ground}} Pokémon can be paralyzed, but not by Electric-type moves or by the [[Battle Arcade]]. In Generation V, Pokémon glow yellow when afflicted with paralysis and their animation will be slowed significantly.

===Poison===
[[File:Poisoned Pokémon.png|left|thumb|250px|{{TP|Ash|Gliscor}} is poisoned]]
{{main|Poison (status ailment)}}
The poison condition (PSN) causes a Pokémon to lose 1/8 of its maximum hit points every turn (in [[Generation I]], it loses 1/16). Normally {{t|Steel}}- and {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon and Pokémon with the {{a|Immunity}} ability cannot be poisoned; however, if a Pokémon is poisoned then has its type changed to Steel or Poison or its ability changed to Immunity, the poison will remain. In addition, in Generation II, Steel-type Pokémon can be poisoned by {{m|Twineedle}}.

A poisoned Pokémon also loses 1 hit point for every four steps taken while not in battle. In [[Generation IV]], a Pokémon whose HP is reduced to 1 via poison outside of battle will have the poison status removed. As of [[Generation V]], no HP is lost outside of battle, making it similar to a burn but without the attack reduction. All [[Poison (status ailment)#Moves|moves which can poison]] are of the Poison-type except {{m|Twineedle}}, {{m|Secret Power}}, and {{m|Fling}} (which poisons only if [[Poison Barb]] is held). In Generation V, Pokémon glow purple when afflicted with poison.

===={{anchor|Badly poisoned|Bad poison}}====
The badly poisoned condition is caused by {{m|Toxic}} and {{m|Poison Fang}}, as well as by {{m|Toxic Spikes}} after it is used twice. It is the same as Poison except its damage begins at 1/16 and grows an additional 1/16 every turn, taking 2/16 max hit points the second turn, then 3/16 the third turn, and 4/16 the fourth, and so on. In [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]], switching a Pokémon out of active battle would change the badly poisoned condition to normal poison. In [[Generation III]] and beyond, the "badly poisoned" effect will remain even after switching a Pokémon out of battle and back in, but the damage counter will be reset. After a battle is over, the "badly poisoned" status will become a normal poison. All [[Poison (status ailment)#Moves that badly poison|moves which can badly poison]] are of the Poison-type except {{m|Fling}} (which badly poisons only if {{DL|In-battle effect item|Toxic Orb}} is held). In Generation V, Pokémon glow purple when afflicted with bad poison.

===Sleep===
[[File:Sleeping Pokémon.png|thumb|250px|{{TP|Ash|Heracross}} sleeping]]
{{main|Sleep (status ailment)}}
A Pokémon that is asleep (SLP) is immobilized and can only use the moves {{m|Snore}} and {{m|Sleep Talk}}.

Sleep lasts for a randomly chosen duration of 1 to 3 turns in {{game|Black and White|s}} and {{g|Stadium}}.<ref>[http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3698857&postcount=770 RNG Research: Battle RNG - Sleep Duration]</ref> In all other games, except the Japanese versions of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, sleep lasts 1 to 5 turns. In the Japanese version of {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, the minimum and maximum sleep count is 1 turn higher, lasting 2 to 6 turns.<ref>[http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=648215&postcount=24 DP Battle Tower Records]</ref> A Pokémon can inflict self-induced sleep using the move {{m|Rest}}, which will restore all of the Pokémon's health and remove any other non-volatile status ailment. A [[Level#Disobedience|disobedient]] Pokémon may also nap during battle. There are, as of [[Generation V]], eleven moves that cause sleep.

In Generation I, a Pokémon that wakes up is not able to attack that same turn, but since Generation II, it is able to attack as soon as the sleep wears off. In Generation V, a Pokémon's sleep counter is reset to its original amount when switched out; this also applies for self-induced sleep. Also in Generation V, Pokémon close their eyes while sleeping and they move slower as well.
{{-}}

==Volatile status==
A volatile status will wear off when a Pokémon is taken out of battle or a battle is over. Many of these will also wear off after a number of turns pass. All of these conditions may be passed to another Pokémon by using {{m|Baton Pass}} unless stated otherwise. Since they aren't shown in battle as a status aliment (having an icon) a Pokémon can be affected with multiple volatile ailments and a non-volatile aliment at the same time.

===Confusion===
[[File:Snivy Confused Status.png|right|250px|{{TP|Ash|Snivy}} confused|thumb|250px]]
The confused condition causes a Pokémon to hurt itself in its confusion 50% of the time. The damage is done as if the Pokémon attacked itself with a 40-power typeless physical attack.

Confusion wears off after 1-4 attacking turns. This means that turns recharging, such as after using {{m|Hyper Beam}}, and turns unable to attack, such as from {{status|paralysis}}, will not lower the remaining number of turns of confusion. However, a sleeping Pokémon may hurt itself in confusion if using a move such as {{m|Snore}} or {{m|Sleep Talk}}. Multi-turn attacks such as {{m|Fly}} and {{m|Dive}} require that confusion be checked both turns, further reducing the chance of successful attack.

Pokémon with the {{a|Own Tempo}} Ability are immune to being confused. Confusion can be cured with [[Persim Berry|Persim Berries]], the [[Yellow Flute]], and items that cure all status ailments such as [[Full Heal]]s and [[Lum Berry|Lum Berries]]; it is the only volatile status ailment to be able to be cured by items that heal all status ailments.

Confusion is transferred by {{m|Baton Pass}}.

A {{tc|Ninja Boy}} on {{rt|211|Sinnoh}} erroneously states that confusion only wears off if the Pokémon is switched out.

In the {{series|original}} of the anime, Pokémon showed no physical difference when confused. They would often get dizzy and miss their attacks as opposed to attacking themselves. In the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, Pokémon would get purple circles around their eyes as a sign of confusion and begin hurting themselves, or attacking their partner if in a [[Double Battle]]. In the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, Pokémon's eyes become swirls and a circle of {{p|Torchic}} run around the confused Pokémon's head, with the confusion causing its attacks to miss. In the {{series|Best Wishes}}, a Pokémon's eyes become stars and multiple stars spin around their head when they are confused.

===Curse===
If a {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon uses {{m|Curse}}, the Pokémon it is used on loses ¼ of its maximum hit points every turn, and the user immediately loses half of their maximum hit points in exchange. A Pokémon afflicted by Curse cannot be healed except by switching out. If the victim of a Ghost-type Curse uses {{m|Baton Pass}}, the health-sapping effect is transferred to its replacement. Also, in [[Generation II]], defeating the opponent will prevent the Pokémon it is used on taking damage from Curse on that turn.

===Encore===
{{m|Encore}} forces the Pokémon to repeat its last attack for 2-5 turns in Generation II, 4-8 turns in Generations III and IV, and 3 turns in Generation V. In Generation V, if the Pokémon has {{m|Magic Coat}} active, the move will fail.

===Flinch===
[[File:Ash Chimchar flinch.png|thumb|{{AP|Chimchar}} flinching in fear]]
The flinch status is a one-turn status that prevents a Pokémon from attacking. A Pokémon can only flinch if the opponent attacks first. Pokémon with the {{a|Inner Focus}} ability are also immune to this. Most [[List of moves that cause flinching|moves that cause flinching]] are [[physical move]]s. Pokémon with {{a|Steadfast}} still flinch, but gain {{stat|Speed}} each time they do so.

It is known as cringing in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]].

===Identify===
The opponent's evasion modification will not affect the accuracy of a Pokémon that uses {{m|Foresight}}, {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, or {{m|Miracle Eye}}. In addition, a {{t|Normal}}- or {{type2|Fighting}} move used by a Pokémon that has used Foresight or Odor Sleuth will affect {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon, and {{type2|Psychic}} moves used by a Pokémon that has used Miracle Eye will affect {{type2|Dark}} Pokémon.

==={{anchor|attraction|Infatuation}}===
[[File:Ash Snivy Attract effect.png|thumb|right|{{AP|Oshawott}} is infatuated]]
A Pokémon that is infatuated cannot attack 50% of the time, even against Pokémon other than the one it is infatuated with. It is caused when {{m|Attract}} is used on an opponent of the opposite [[gender]], may be caused when a Pokémon makes [[contact]] with a Pokémon with {{a|Cute Charm}} of the opposite gender, and is caused to the target of the infatuation when a Pokémon holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Destiny Knot}} is infatuated. Pokémon with the {{a|Oblivious}} Ability are immune to infatuation. Infatuation cannot be passed with {{m|Baton Pass}}. Infatuation will end as soon as either the affected Pokémon or the Pokémon it is attracted to is removed from the battle. It can also be removed by consuming a [[Mental Herb]] or playing a [[Red Flute]].

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] games, [[Status ailments in Mystery Dungeon#Volatile status conditions|Infatuation]] prevents the Pokémon from doing anything for 5-6 turns, and causes linked moves to cease.

===Nightmare===
{{m|Nightmare}} only affects a sleeping Pokémon. The sleeping Pokémon loses ¼ of its maximum hit points every turn. If the sleeping Pokémon awakens, then the nightmare will no longer be in effect. If Baton Pass switches out a Pokémon that is not asleep, then the nightmare will no longer be in effect.

===Partially trapped===
[[File:Jessie Seviper Wrap.png|thumb|right|Gastrodon being trapped by {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}'s {{m|Wrap}}]]
When a Pokémon is hit by {{m|Magma Storm}}, {{m|Sand Tomb}}, {{m|Whirlpool}}, {{m|Wrap}}, {{m|Bind}}, {{m|Clamp}}, or {{m|Fire Spin}}, it becomes partially trapped. Until Generation V, this lasted 2-5 turns unless a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Grip Claw}} was held; as of Generation V, partial trapping lasts 4-5 turns unless a Grip Claw is held. If the user of a partial trapping move is holding a Grip Claw, the move will last for 5 turns. A Pokémon can be affected by any number of partial trapping moves at a time.

====Generation I====
In Generation I, partial trapping moves inflict damage for 2-5 turns. There is a 37.5% chance that they will last 2 turns, a 37.5% chance that they will last 3 turns, a 12.5% chance that they will last 4 turns, and a 12.5% chance that they will last 5 turns. Though technically only the first attack can be a critical hit, every attack during the duration will do the same amount of damage. During this turn duration, the target will be unable to attack, and if the user of the move attacks before the target when used, the target will be unable to attack during that round as well.

Damage done by partial trapping move's continuing duration is done after recurrent damage. If the user switches out before the turn duration ends, the target will be unable to attack during that turn. If the target switches out before the turn duration ends, the partial trapping move will automatically be used against the incoming Pokémon, deducting an additional PP from the move. If at such a time the partial trapping move has 0 PP, it will still be used against the incoming Pokémon. After that use, the current PP of the move will roll over to 63, and full PP ups will be applied to it.

Even if the partial trapping move misses, it will negate the recharge turn normally required for Hyper Beam. Additionally, if the user of the partial trapping move attacks before the user of Hyper Beam during a recharge turn and the use of the partial trapping move misses, the user of Hyper Beam will automatically use Hyper Beam during that turn. If at such a time Hyper Beam has 0 PP, Hyper Beam will still be used, and afterwards its current PP will roll over to 63, and full PP ups will be applied to it.

In-game, the target will get to select a move during each turn of the partial trapping move's duration, and will attack the incoming Pokémon with the selected move if the player switches before the duration is over.

In {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, it is possible to select a move during each turn of the partial trapping move's duration. If the target switches out before the duration ends, the incoming Pokémon will not automatically be attacked. The partial trapping move will negate the recharge turn of Hyper Beam only if successful.

====In Generation II - IV====
The target is now able to attack during a partial trapping move's duration, and can act normally. Instead, they inflict 1/16 of the target's maximum HP as damage for two to five turns upon use, in addition to the damage dealt when it is used. They also trap the target, preventing switching and [[escape]]. If a trapped Pokémon uses {{m|Rapid Spin}}, it will be freed.

If a [[wild Pokémon]] uses a partial trapping move on the player's Pokémon, the player may [[escape]] if the affected Pokémon has {{a|Run Away}} or is holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Smoke Ball}}. However, these do not allow the player to switch the Pokémon out.

If the user of the partial trapping move is holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Grip Claw}}, the duration will always be 5 turns. Also, if an affected Pokémon is holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Shed Shell}}, it can switch out.

If the user of the partial trapping move switches out, the move's effects end.

====Generation V====
All partial trapping moves now last 4-5 turns unless a Grip Claw is held, which causes the moves to last 5 turns. The item {{DL|In-battle effect item|Binding Band}} increases the damage dealt from 1/16 to 1/8 of the target's maximum HP while trapped.

===Perish Song===
After three turns, all Pokémon who heard the {{m|Perish Song}} will faint, excluding Pokémon with the {{a|Soundproof}} ability. Any Pokémon who heard it can avoid the effect of fainting if it is switched out before the 3-turn count finishes. {{m|Baton Pass}} transfers the Perish Song countdown.

===Seeding===
[[File:Ash Bulbasaur Leech Seed effect.png|thumb|200px|A {{p|Solrock}} affected by Leech Seed]]
Seeding can only be caused by {{m|Leech Seed}}. Each turn, a seeded Pokémon loses 1/8 (1/16 in [[Generation I]]) of its maximum hit points. The opponent is healed by the same amount. {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon are immune to {{m|Leech Seed}}. If a Pokémon affected by Leech Seed uses {{m|Baton Pass}}, Leech Seed is transferred to its replacement, even if it is a Grass-type. Even if the affected Pokémon switches out again within the battle, if sent out again, the effects still remain (unless Baton Passed again). If the user of Leech Seed switches out, the health granted by the effect is applied to the new replacement. There is no requirement for the Pokémon to use the move again, or even to know it. Unlike in the games, {{m|Leech Seed}} does not appear to restore the health of the Pokémon that used the attack.
{{-}}

===Taunt===
{{m|Taunt}} prevents the Pokémon from using any non-damaging moves. This effect will wear off after two to four turns, or if one switches out. Pokémon using {{m|Substitute}} can still be afflicted with this status ailment.

===Torment===
{{m|Torment}} renders the Pokémon incapable of using the same move twice in a row. If the Pokémon is holding a [[Choice item]] or only has one move remaining with {{PP}}, it is forced to use {{m|Struggle}} every second turn.

==Volatile battle status==
===Defense Curl===
[[File:Ash Phanpy Defense Curl.png|thumb|{{AP|Phanpy}} curls up, ready to use {{m|Rollout}}]]
Using {{m|Defense Curl}} causes the power of {{m|Rollout}} and {{m|Ice Ball}} to double for the Pokémon. This effect is not transferred by {{m|Baton Pass}}.

===Focus Energy===
[[File:Roark Cranidos Focus Energy.png|thumb|left|{{TP|Roark|Cranidos}} focusing its energy]]
When a Pokémon uses {{m|Focus Energy}}, its {{DL|Damage modification|critical hit}} rate quadruples.

===Followed===
If a Pokémon uses {{m|Follow Me}} or {{m|Rage Powder}}, it forces opposing Pokémon to target the user rather than the user's partner during [[Double Battle]]s, as well as [[Triple Battle]]s, where it only effects adjacent targets. This is an increased priority move, and therefore will always go before attacks during the turn.

If the user's partner is switching out, it will not divert an opponent from using {{m|Pursuit}} on its partner. It does not stop the effects of moves which hit multiple Pokémon in a battle.

===Minimize===
A Pokémon having used {{m|Minimize}} will take double damage if hit by the moves {{m|Steamroller}} or {{m|Stomp}} (though this behavior is not present in [[Generation I]]).

===Mist===
[[File:Kenny Prinplup Mist effect.png|thumb|Mist surrounds {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}]]
{{m|Mist}} prevents a Pokémon's stats from being lowered by the opponent's attacks. The user may still lower its own stats with moves like {{m|Superpower}}. The move {{m|Defog}} cancels out Mist.

===Reflect and Light Screen===
{{m|Reflect}} and {{m|Light Screen}} last for five turns (eight with [[Light Clay]]) and heighten the user's entire team's {{stat|Defense}} or {{stat|Special Defense}}, respectively. Either of them can be broken by {{m|Brick Break}} or {{m|Defog}}.

===Safeguard===
[[File:Conway Slowking Safeguard.png|thumb|left|{{p|Slowking}} creating a Safeguard]]
{{m|Safeguard}} prevents the user and its party from being affected by any status condition for five turns, except those caused by [[Ability|Abilities]] or [[held item]]s and self-inflicted statuses. It also does not block the effect of {{m|Yawn}} if Yawn has already been used.

===Substitute===
The Pokémon that uses {{m|Substitute}} loses ¼ of its total HP (rounded down) to make a Substitute which will absorb hits until it "breaks" (damage the Substitute has taken is greater than the HP used to make it). From [[Generation II]] onward, Substitutes block all status ailments and will immediately break if a one-hit knockout attack connects with them. In [[Generation I]], however, a substitute only blocks primary status ailments; attacks like {{m|Thunder Wave}} and {{m|Spore}} completely circumvent the Substitute. Substitutes can be transferred by {{m|Baton Pass}}.

===Taking aim===
[[File:Brandon Registeel Lock-On.png|thumb|[[Brandon's Regis|Registeel]] taking aim at its opponent]]
When a Pokémon uses {{m|Mind Reader}} or {{m|Lock-On}} to take aim at a target, the next damage-dealing move will hit that target without fail, even if the opponent uses a move that offers a turn of invulnerability, such as {{m|Fly}}. This effect can be {{m|Baton Pass}}ed.

===Trapped===
[[File:Conway Dusknoir Mean Look.png|thumb|left|200px|{{p|Dusknoir}} using Mean Look]]
A Pokémon successfully trapped by {{m|Mean Look}}, {{m|Spider Web}}, {{m|Block}}, {{m|Shadow Hold}}, {{a|Shadow Tag}}, {{a|Arena Trap}}, or {{a|Magnet Pull}} cannot switch until the Pokémon that used the move is defeated or switches. The trapped Pokémon can escape if it is holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Shed Shell}}; uses {{m|U-turn}}, {{m|Volt Switch}}, or {{m|Baton Pass}}; or is successfully hit with {{m|Whirlwind}}, {{m|Roar}}, {{m|Dragon Tail}}, or {{m|Circle Throw}}. Prior to Generation V, if a Pokémon trapped by a move uses Baton Pass, the Pokémon brought out will be trapped instead. The effects of moves that prevent ordinary switching is no longer passed in Generation V. Being trapped also prevents fleeing.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* If a Pokémon under a status ailment (such as a poisoned {{p|Cascoon}}) evolves, the condition will be kept even if the Pokémon gains a new [[type]] or [[Ability]] that would normally prevent it.

:Because it's junk. NO ONE at all wants to read about a glitched {{p|Charizard}}. By that standard, why not have a seperate article for EVERY Pokémon that can be caught using the Mew glitch? I say merge it with the trivia on the Pokémon's page. It's far too trivial to warrant its own article. Even then, a glitch Pokémon should only have some reference on here if it's especially notable in some way, and then I think they should all be combined into one article, "Glitch Pokémon." -[[Image:Spr 3e 186.gif|30px]][[User:Politoed666|Politoed]][[User talk:Politoed666|666]][[Image:Spr 3e 186.gif|30px]]

'''Lotad''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ハスボー''' ''Hassboh'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Grass}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Lombre}} starting at [[level]] 14, which evolves into {{p|Ludicolo}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Water Stone}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Lotad has a blue body with a yellow bill-like mouth and six small blue legs. It appears to have a lilypad on its back. It is believed that when a Lotad's leaf becomes too big, it starts to float on the water.

====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
Lotad has most of the abilities of both {{t|Grass}}- and {{type2|Water}} Pokémon. It is able to float into the middle of ponds and lakes and photosynthesize food for itself without direct competition from others. It can also serve as ferries for smaller Pokémon that can't swim.

===Behavior===
Lotad is usually quite placid and easygoing. On rare occasions, It travels on land in search of clean water. If it does not drink water for too long, the leaf on its head wilts.

===Habitat===
[[File:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
Lotad is mostly found in wet areas like lakes and ponds where it floats.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

One of these Lotad were given to {{an|Brock}}. This particular Lotad was a bit slow and sometimes stared blankly for a few seconds before attacking. It evolved into {{p|Lombre}} in ''[[AG063|Take the Lombre Home]]'', and into a {{p|Ludicolo}} in ''[[AG105|Once in a Mawile]]''.

====Other====
Another Lotad appeared in ''[[DP025|Oh Do You Know The Poffin Plan!]]'' It belonged to [[Forsythia]].

==Trivia==
*Lotad and its evolutions, along with {{p|Kingdra}} and {{p|Palkia}}, are the only Pokémon to have a 1/4x resistance against {{t|Water}}.
*Lotad is the only Pokémon that is currently able to learn {{m|Water Gun}} by breeding, although {{p|Phanpy}} previously could in {{game|Crystal}}.
*Lotad and its evolutions are the only Pokémon that have both their types as two of the main types of starter Pokémon, not including {{t|Electric}}.
*As of [[Generation V]], no other Pokémon have same dual [[egg group]] as Lotad's {{p|Lombre|evolutionary}} {{p|Ludicolo|line}}. In this case, both in {{egg|Water 1}} and {{egg|Grass}} are unique.
* Lotad can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Seedot}}. Both of them are {{type|Grass}} {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}} and are {{cat|Pokémon that are part of a three-stage evolutionary line|part of a three-stage evolutionary line}}, who evolve into their evolved forms at or above level 14, and whose second evolutionary event utilizes a [[Evolutionary stone]]. Lotad is exclusive [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Sapphire]], while Seedot is exclusive to [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby]], with both Pokémon found in the same locations in their respective versions. Additionally, both Pokémon can be found in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} by using the [[Dual-slot mode]], with Lotad requiring [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Sapphire]], and Seedot requiring [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby]]. Both can also be found in the [[White Forest]] in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon White]], and both have the same base stat total, with both having equal stats arranged differently.

===Origin===
Lotad seems to be a literal example of a {{wp|Nymphaeaceae|lily pad}}. Given its general shape and habitat, it may have also been partially inspired by a {{wp|tardigrade}}.

====Name origin====
Lotad is a combination of ''{{wp|lotus}}'' and ''{{wp|tadpole}}'' or ''{{wp|lily pad}}''.

Hassboh is based on 蓮 ''hasu'' (lotus) and 赤ん坊 ''akanbō'' (baby) or 帽子 ''bōshi'' (hat).

PP

2012-05-12T19:36:56Z

Pressthebutton: /* Intro */

[[File:PP Screen.png|frame|right|A {{p|Froslass}} nicknamed Cirno displaying partially-depleted PP: {{m|Avalanche}} and {{m|Shadow Ball}} have been used once each, and {{m|Ice Beam}} has been used three times.]]
'''Power points''' (Japanese: '''パワーポイント''' ''Power points''), '''PP''' for short, are the energy that a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} requires in order to perform a [[move]].

==In the games==
Power points have existed in every generation, being the secondary reason for healing Pokémon at a Pokémon Center. Each move is assigned a base power point value that is either 1 or an integer multiple of 5, up to 40. In general, weaker moves learned at lower levels will have higher PP, while more powerful moves that are learned by TM only or at high levels will have lower PP.

When a move is learned, its PP will automatically be set to the base PP value, allowing it to be used immediately. However, with TMs in {{game|Black and White|s}} being reusable, this not the case. The PP value will be the same as it was before, regardless of the maximum PP value of the new move, unless the new move has less base PP than the remaining PP of the replaced move.

When PP of a move has been depleted, the Pokémon will no longer be able to use that move until PP is restored. When all of a Pokémon's moves' PP has been depleted, ordering it to attack will result in the Pokémon using {{m|Struggle}}, causing great harm to itself and minimal damage to its opponent.

The ability {{a|Pressure}} will cause all moves that target the Pokémon with this ability to use two PP per use instead of one, causing them to deplete faster. A move which has only 1 PP remaining will execute as normal in these situations. Moves that do not target the Pokémon with Pressure, such as [[Status moves]] which target the user, deplete as normal.

A move that can be used outside of battle, such as {{m|Dig}} or the many [[HM]] moves, will be able to be used regardless of its PP on the field, and will not subtract PP for its overworld uses.

Some moves, especially the [[Shadow moves]] of {{g|Colosseum}} and {{XD}}, have no PP value, giving them effectively infinite PP.

===Increasing PP===
All moves, except those which have a base PP of 1, can have their usability increased using a [[PP Up]] or [[PP Max]]. PP Ups boost the move's PP by 20% of the original value per PP Up, and can be used up to three times on the same move. PP Maxes boost a move's PP by 60% of the original value and can only be used once, counting as 3 PP Ups. If a PP Max is used on a move that has already been boosted by a PP Up, it will boost the PP to whatever the maximum would be, serving as two PP Ups if one has already been used, and as one if two have been.

===Restoration===
PP can be restored using [[Ether|Elixirs and Ethers]], with the plain Ether restoring 10 PP for one move, Max Ether restoring full PP for one move, plain Elixir restoring 10 PP for all of a Pokémon's moves, and Max Elixir restoring full PP for all of a Pokémon's moves. The PP of all party Pokémon's moves will be restored when they are healed at a Pokémon Center, while the PP of individual Pokémon will be restored if they are deposited into the PC.

PP can also be restored using [[Leppa Berry|Leppa Berries]], which restores 10 PP for one move, the berry equivalent of Ether.

===Base value alteration===
In [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}, the maximum PP of a move that began at 40 PP would be 61, probably due to a lack of data space; this is fixed from [[Generation III]] onward, increasing the maximum to its "proper" value of 64.

Between Generation III and [[Generation IV]], the base PP of several moves, such as {{m|Recover}} and {{m|Giga Drain}}, was altered. If PP Ups had been used on one of these moves in Generation III, this is carried over to Generation IV, with the PP Ups now boosting based on the new value, rather than the old. A Pokémon with Giga Drain with 2 PP Ups used on it in Generation III, having 7 PP for that move, would have 14 PP when transferred to Generation IV, for example.

===Glitches===
A notable glitch found in Generation I allowed {{m|Struggle|struggling}} to be avoided by allowing the game to self-select a move to be used, which could happen to any move used immediately after a Pokémon was defrosted, or due to a handful of moves' effects ({{m|Bind}}, {{m|Clamp}}, {{m|Fire Spin}}, {{m|Hyper Beam}}, {{m|Metronome}}, {{m|Mimic}}, and {{m|Wrap}}) because of the auto-selection involved with partial trapping moves. A move used with 0 PP in this way would {{wp|arithmetic underflow|underflow}} to the maximum possible value, 63 PP, and, due to the way the data is structured, a move that 0 PP Ups had been used on would gain full PP Up status, while those on which PP Ups had been used would lose one PP Up boost. This glitch was addressed in Generation II games and later, which prevent a move from being executed if it has 0 PP.

==In the anime==
While, like other stats, PP has not been directly referenced by the anime, many Pokémon have been seen to have trouble using a specific move repeatedly, such as [[Ash's Pikachu]]'s increasing weakness using {{m|Thunderbolt}} on {{an|Mewtwo}}'s Poké Balls as they chased him down. Pokémon also get visibly exhausted over the course of a battle, even if they don't take any hits.

'''Marshtomp''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヌマクロー''' ''Numacraw'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ground}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Mudkip}} starting at [[level]] 16 and evolves into {{p|Swampert}} starting at level 36.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Marshtomp is a bipedal amphibious creature, mostly light-blue in color with orange and black accentuation. Marshtomp has an angular black fin on his head small, orange eyes, and orange, pointed gills on the ends of both cheeks, similar to those on Mudkip. Marshtomp has fairly long arms with three-fingered hands. Marshtomp’s underside is a lighter shade of blue, the coloration extending to above the circular patch of orange coloration on its belly. Marshtomp has legs with three small toes upon its feet, and two black fins as its tails.

====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
Several of Marshtomp’s attacks and notable abilities revolve around mud, which it can move through faster through than it can through water. {{m|Mud Shot}} is one of Marshtomp's special moves because they learn it when they first evolve, and is commonly used by both captive and wild Marshtomp alike. Due to a thin, sticky film enveloping its body, Marshtomp is able to live on land. However, Marshtomp becomes weakened if its skin dries out, so it replenishes fluids by playing in mud. Due to its sturdy legs, it has sure footing even in mud, enabling it to quickly overwhelm struggling foes. Marshtomp can utilize its fins like a radar. It is also sensitive to movements on the ground, even underground.

===Behavior===
Marshtomp can be mild mannered, but are very protective of their kind, and are known to hurl mud at foes, the trait growing fierce upon evolution. Due to its sure footing in mud, it is able to quickly overwhelm struggling foes. Marshtomp plays in mud on beaches when the ocean tide is low, and burrows into dirt to sleep.
===Habitat===
[[File:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
Marshtomp and members of its evolution family live in swamps and wetlands deep in isolated islands. They tend to dislike freshwater ponds, lakes, and riverbeds. Oddly, they travel great distances to freshwater beaches to make their nests.

After the Flaaffy was healed, Marshtomp became infatuated with the pink electrical sheep, though it ultimately rejected him. Marshtomp remained on Brock's team until it was left in [[Pewter City]] he departed for Sinnoh.

==In the manga==
[[File:Zuzu Marshtomp.png|thumb|150px|[[Zuzu]], {{adv|Ruby}}'s {{p|Swampert}}, as a Marshtomp]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Zuzu}}
{{adv|Ruby}}'s {{p|Mudkip}}, Zuzu, evolved upon his arrival at [[Slateport City]], which Ruby was happy to record a video of. Afterwards, it was used in battle with {{tc|Magma Admin}} [[Mack]] as Ruby escaped the villain using his knowledge of [[Pokéblock]]s and natures that determine preference. After again being forced to battle with yet another Magma Admin, this time in the form of [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]], it became a {{p|Swampert}}, though this time Ruby was too depressed after his fight with {{adv|Sapphire}} to commemorate this occasion.

==Trivia==
* Marshtomp is the only middle evolution {{type2|Water}} [[starter Pokémon]] with two [[type]]s.

===Origin===
Marshtomp is based on the {{wp|mudpuppy}} or {{wp|mudskipper}}. It may also be based on the {{wp|axolotl}}, like its {{p|Mudkip|pre-evolved form}}. However, the single fin on Marshtomp's head is reminiscent of the {{wp|Murmillo|Murmillo Helmet}} worn by murmillo-class Roman gladiators or the {{wp|Corinthian Helmet}} (with a horsehair crest) which is worn by Greek Hoplites. "Murmillo" is also a Greek word for a type of saltwater fish.

====Name origin====
Marshtomp is a combination of ''{{wp|marsh}}'' and ''stomp''.

Numacraw may be a combination of 沼 ''numa'' ({{wp|swamp}}) and ''crawfish'' ({{wp|crayfish}}, a freshwater crustacean), ''crawl'', or ''claw'' (as "l" and "r" are phonetically interchangeable).

'''May''' (Japanese: '''ハルカ''' ''Haruka'') serves as the [[rival]] in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, should the {{player}} choose to play as the {{ga|Brendan|male character}}. She is also the female choice in the games, but ''May'' is never among the default names for the character.

The [[Generation III]] games deviated from the tradition of naming characters as their respective game names, such as {{ga|Red}} in the [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]] games. As such, May's counterparts include {{an|May}} from the {{pkmn|anime}} and {{adv|Sapphire}} in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==In the games==
===Role===
If May is selected as the player character she starts her journey moving from her home in Johto to her new home in the town of Littleroot in Hoenn. After saving Prof. Birch from a wild Pokémon, she is given one of the three starters of the Hoenn region. May develops a close bond with {{ga|Brendan}}, and eventually [[Wally]], who both act as her rivals. May goes on to gather the eight badges of Hoenn, stop the plans of [[Team Aqua]]{{sup|Sa}}{{sup|E}}/[[Team Magma]]{{sup|Ru}}{{sup|E}} and conquer the Pokémon League all before going off to face the Battle Frontier.

If May is not selected as the player, she is helping her dad finish the Hoenn [[Pokédex]] and becoming a Pokémon professor. She is also the player's rival and friend. Unlike other [[rival]]s (except for {{ga|Brendan}} when playing as May), she gives up being a {{pkmn|Trainer}}, making them the only rivals unavailable for battle after defeating the [[Elite Four]]. Additionally, they both are the only ones to not [[evolution|evolve]] their [[starter Pokémon]] into its final form.

I... I have this dream of becoming friends with <sc>Pokémon</sc> all over the world. I... I heard about you, <player>, from my dad, <sc>[[Professor Birch|Prof. Birch]]</sc>. I was hoping you would be nice, <player>, and that we could be friends. Oh, this is silly, isn't it? I...I've just met you, <player>. Eheheh... Oh, no! I forgot!

*After being defeated
:''"I think I know why my dad has an eye out for you now. I mean, you just got that <sc>Pokemon</sc> but it already likes you. You might be able to befriend any kind of <sc>Pokémon</sc> easily. Well, it’s time to head back to the Lab."''

:''"Oh, by the way, I passed [[Mr. Briney]] in Petalburg Woods. I guess he's on his way home to his cottage by the sea. <player>, you just moved here so you might not know this, but Mr. Briney was once a revered seafarer."''

====={{rt|110|Hoenn}}=====
:''"Hi, <player>, long time no see! While I was searching for other <sc>Pokémon</sc>, my <sc>Pokénon</sc> grew stronger. So... How about a little battle?"''

=====[[Lavaridge Town]]=====
:''"<player>! Long time no see! Oh? While I was visiting the hot springs, you got the <sc>Lavaridge Gym Badge</sc>. You must have caught some good <sc>Pokémon</sc>... No, I guess you raised some. I guess it would be okay for you to have this."''

:''"Achah! <player>, you're strong! I was worried that you might be struggling with your training."''

*After being defeated
:''"But I had absolutely nothing to be worried about! Keep it up! And, here! I have a present for you."''
:''"Use <sc>{{m|Fly}}</sc> and your <sc>Pokémon</sc> will instantly carry you to any town you've already visited. But to use <sc>Fly</sc> you have to get the <sc>{{Badge|Feather|Gym Badge}}</sc> from <sc>[[Fortree City]]</sc>. That's important, so don't forget. You should <sc>Fly</sc> home and visit <sc>Littleroot</sc> for a change. I bet your mom's worried about you, <player>. Well, let's meet again somewhere!"''

=====[[Lilycove City]]=====
:''"Oh, hey, <player>, are you shopping, too? I bought a whole bunch of <sc>Dolls</sc> and <sc>Posters</sc>. Of course, I've also caught a lot of <sc>Pokémon</sc>, and I'm raising them properly, too. Actually, I'm more worried if you're raising Pokémon properly, <player>. I'll battle with you, so you can show me your Pokémon, <player>."''
::'''Yes''': ''"The Pokémon I raised won't be beaten by your Pokémon, <player>!"''
::'''No''': ''Oh, why? <player>, haven't you been raising your Pokémon? That's not a very good showing as a <sc>Trainer</sc>."''

*When defeated
:''"... ... ... ... ...I remember the battle I had with you, <player>, on <sc>Route 103</sc>. That battle helped you become this strong, <player>, didn't it?"''

*After being defeated
:''"I'm thinking of going back to <sc>Littleroot</sc> soon. I've caught a decent group of <sc>Pokémon</sc>, and my <sc>Pokédex</sc> is coming along, so I'm going home to show my dad. <player>, what are you going to do> Collect all the <sc>Gym Badges</sc> and take the <sc>Pokémon League</sc> challenge?

===Names===
While the player can name this character as is the case with all player characters, there are several default names provided for her. In {{v2|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, she has four default names, including three shared between the two versions. The two variant names between games collaborates with the theme of the plot, referring to "land" and "sea" respectively.

In the English version, these names are '''Terra''' and '''Mar'''ina; in the Japanese version, ムツミ '''''Mutsu'''mi'' and ナミ '''''Nami''''' (陸 ''mutsu'' means land and 波 ''nami'' means a wave of water). This is also the case in other languages. Unlike Brendan's name list, none of the three shared names correspond to this theme. 

In all translated versions of {{v2|Emerald}}, May has the same default names as in Pokémon Ruby, as well as 16 additional names which don't seem to hold any significance, with the exception of the German version. In this case, Emerald has only 15 additional names, plus the corresponding Sapphire name, Martina. Consequently, in the rest of the translated versions, there is no default name that relates to "sea". Notably, as the player character, the name May (or its other language counterparts) is never offered as a default name in any version.

As a rival, May's name is static.

The full list of default names for May as the female playable character in the games are as follows:

==Counterparts==
[[File:MayDiamondPearl.png|thumb|right|May in the anime]]
===In the anime===
{{main|May (anime)}}
In the anime, a character based on May was a [[Pokémon Coordinator]] and {{Ash}}'s traveling companion throughout the [[Advanced Generation series]].

===In the manga===
Her counterpart in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga is {{adv|Sapphire}} who, unlike her other counterparts, takes up Gym challenges and is an all-around tomboy thanks to a traumatic incident with {{adv|Ruby}} where a {{p|Salamence}} attacked them when they were children. She does have a feminine side however, as is shown in later volumes.

A counterpart to May, {{OBP|Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire}}, appears in the [[Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire]] manga. Just like {{an|May|May's anime counterpart}}, she is a {{pkmn|Coordinator}} who chooses {{p|Torchic}} as her [[starter Pokémon]].

Although they do not look alike, she has the same Japanese default name as {{OBP|Haruka|CCP}} from the [[Pokémon Chamo-Chamo ☆ Pretty ♪]] manga series. Likewise, Haruka is a {{pkmn|Coordinator}} who also chooses {{p|Torchic}} as her starter Pokémon, just like May's {{an|May|anime counterpart}}.

==Trivia==
* As the player character (along with {{ga|Brendan}}), they are the only set of player characters that have both a mother and a father present in the games.
* May and Brendan are the only rivals whose [[starter Pokémon]] does not reach its final form.
** They are also the only rivals who can't be fought in rematches after the player defeats the [[Elite Four]].

Talk:Dratini (Pokémon)

2012-05-10T02:50:16Z

Pressthebutton: /* Unusual Differences */ new section

== Edit request ==

→Pokedex entries
:<nowiki>|heartgolddex=It is born large to start with. It repeatedly sheds its skin as it steadily grows longer.</nowiki>
♥ [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❀]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|✿]] 02:50, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

== More on the name origin ==

It might also be possible that the suffix "-ini" is an Italian suffix for an endearing or "small" version of something. (It certainly is this way in Italian.) Although, if that were the case, the suffix "-ino" or "-ina" might also apply, making "-ini" the plural.

Personally, I think this one makes more sense, but who knows. [[User:Ztobor|Ztobor]] 01:13, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
:Agreed. Changed. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 05:19, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

== Safari Zone, Yellow ==

I checked Dratini's Pokédex Area in Yellow and it says ''AREA UNKNOWN'', despite being catchable in Safari Zone by fishing... [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] 13:47, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
:That will be because it can only be caught while fishing. In Gen I, the Pokedex des not give the fishing locations, so if it is only found by fishing, it will say "Area Unknown" (a good example is Magikarp). '''X'''[[User:Vuvuzela2010|'''Vuvuzela2010''']]'''X''' 14:27, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

== Coloring ==

I got a Dratini from the Game Corner in FireRed and it was a shade of blue that made me think I might have gotten a shiny Dratini, My hopes were dashed when it evolved. Still, I find the fact the Spite on Bulbapedia and the sprite of my Dratini seemed different. [[User:Truthseeker4449|Truthseeker4449]] 16:56, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
:Shiny dratini aren't blue. ♣♣ ''[[User:Focus58|Ƒǿҫὑṩ]] [[User talk:Focus58|❺❽]]'' ♣♣ 16:59, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

== Unusual Differences ==

In my opinion, Dratini's height and width go together HORRIBLY. I mean, you'd expect a 5'11" Pokemon to weight more than 7.3 pounds, right? Also, despite this comment, I have nothing against Dratini. [[User:Pressthebutton|Pressthebutton]] 02:50, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

* Use {{bp|wikicode}} and {{bp|link templates}} when adding content to a page.
* Use proper grammar and spelling, and read the {{bp|manual of style}}.
* You can't create a userpage until you've added to the encyclopedia. It's a privilege. See the {{bp|userspace policy}}.
* Use {{bp|Talk page policy|talk pages}} to resolve editing disputes. Don't "edit war," or constantly re-edit/undo the same thing on a page.
* If you have a question about something, be proactive. Take a look at our {{bp|FAQ}}. If you're still stuck, ask for help. The {{bp|staff}} won't bite.

==Talk page==
Hey. You're prohibited to use your talk page to post personal information that would usually go on one's userpage. That is called {{bp|Userspace_policy#Circumventing_the_userspace_policy|Circumventing the userspace policy}}. When the time comes and you're able to edit your userspace, then you may put that information on your page. But it should never be put on your talk page.

:Sorry, I got mixed up. [[User:Pressthebutton|Pressthebutton]] 15:48, 8 April 2012 (UTC) EDIT [[User:Pressthebutton|Pressthebutton]] 19:35, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
:: You're not allowed to use your talk page as a sandbox... Now that you're autoconfirmed, {{redlink|User:Pressthebutton/Sandbox|you can make a separate page for sandbox in the userspace.}} You can do anything that you want to do in that page.

==Userspace limits==
Hi. I noticed you have been editing the <code>User:</code> namespace a lot recently. Please don't do it any more, though. Bulbapedia's {{bp|Userspace policy}} restricts the amount you can edit your userpage: no more than three edits per day and make sure you contribute to our {{bp|mainspace}} more than your userspace. This policy was instated to promote people helping out in the mainspace, and also to control strain on our server. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, after all, so help us out by contributing to some articles before coming back to your personal userpage. The more often you edit in the mainspace, the more you will be allowed to edit your userpage. Thanks! --- [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 20:31, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

==Hold on!==
If you did not read your last warning, then please read it now. You have edited the <code>User:</code> namespace too much. In the past, no one was allowed to edit their userpages because some users were over-editing their own userpages. Your personal editing privileges can be taken away, so please do not edit your page any more for now. Instead, how about helping contribute to some of Bulbapedia's [[Special:Random|many articles]]? Thank you. --- [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 20:47, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

==Final userspace warning==
Do not edit the <code>User:</code> namespace any more. If you edit your page any more without making some edits to the mainspace, then the privilege for you to edit the userspace will be removed. This has been your final warning. --- [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 20:52, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
:Ok. Also, keep in mind that my midnight may not be the same as yours. [[User:Pressthebutton|Pressthebutton]] 01:50, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

:::All of our time-dependant policies are based under {{wp|UTC}} time. We also have a convenient JavaScript clock up at the top of every page, just so editors can be sure what time it is via UTC. Additionally, since you made '''11''' userspace edits, I ''highly'' suggest that you avoid editing the userspace for a few days as well as make a ''minimum'' of '''15''' constructive mainspace edits in order to offset the userspace edits as if they were made over the span of 4 days, within the 3-per-day limit, as explained in the {{bp|userspace policy}}. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 13:00, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

It does not need that template. That only goes on gym leaders or other major game characters page.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 14:00, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
:I am aware of that: I just had an urge to make it. [[User:Pressthebutton|Pressthebutton]] 00:37, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

== The Preview Button ==
Instead of editing a page several times in a row, try using the preview button to make sure your edit looks the way you want it to. It's right next to the Save Changes button...

Pressthebutton: /* Taken care of */

[[File:Isis.png|230px|thumb|right|Isis]]
'''Isis''' (Japanese: '''イシス''' ''Isis'') is a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} that appeared in ''[[DP057|Bibarel Gnaws Best!]]''.

She takes care of a {{p|Bibarel}} for the [[expert stonecutter]] that she's been friends with since she was a girl. She was appointed to look after Bibarel and organize the workers temporarily when the expert stonecutter was out. When Bibarel stopped working after the departure of the expert stonecutter she was extremely depressed and blamed herself for not being able to gain the trust from a childhood friend. After it turned out that the plans for a new bridge were dangerous Isis realized that Bibarel was actually trying to protect the lives of people and became friends with Bibarel again.

Then, {{Ash}} and Brock sent out {{AP|Chimchar}}, {{AP|Turtwig}}, {{AP|Buizel}} and {{TP|Brock|Sudowoodo}}, and used their moves to cut the stone. Unfortunately, they weren't the right dimensions.

Then, just as Bibarel started to get angry, {{TRT}} appeared. They captured the worker's {{p|Machoke}} and {{p|Machamp}}, and then Bibarel. To {{TRT}}'s dismay, Bibarel used her strong front teeth to chew right through the cage bars, but after she was freed, she still refused to work.

When the [[head engineer]] arrived and put his {{p|Rhydon}} to work, Bibarel attacked. She didn't want to let the engineer's Pokémon touch the stone quarry. Then, the expert stonecutter appeared, scaring off the engineer and Bibarel and [[Ash's friends|the gang]] got right to work, and finally finished the bridge on time.

Bibarel's only known move is {{m|Super Fang}}.}}

Then, just as Bibarel started to get angry, {{TRT}} appeared. They captured the worker's {{p|Machoke}} and {{p|Machamp}}, and then Bibarel. To {{TRT}}'s dismay, Bibarel used her strong front teeth to chew right through the cage bars, but after she was freed, she still refused to work.

When the [[head engineer]] arrived and put his {{p|Rhydon}} to work, Bibarel attacked. She didn't want to let the engineer's Pokémon touch the stone quarry. Then, the expert stonecutter appeared, scaring off the engineer and Bibarel and [[Ash's friends|the gang]] got right to work, and finally finished the bridge on time.

Bibarel's only known move is {{m|Super Fang}}.}}

'''Reggie''' (Japanese: '''レイジ''' ''Reiji'') is [[Paul]]'s older brother. He is a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} living in [[Veilstone City]].

==History==
[[File:Younger Reggie.png|thumb|left|250px|Reggie in his battle with {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}]]
Reggie first appeared in ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]''. During this meeting, he and Ash battled in a three-on-three match; although {{AP|Ash's Staravia|Staraptor}} lost to his {{p|Swalot}}, {{AP|Turtwig|Torterra}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} successfully defeated his {{p|Bibarel}} and {{p|Staraptor}} respectively.

Reggie has earned the 8 badges from [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]]. He has also challenged the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} and won six of the seven Frontier [[Symbol]]s. He decided to become a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder|breeder}} after failing to get the [[Symbol|Brave Symbol]], as revealed in ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy]]''. Unlike his younger brother, he treats his Pokémon with love and care and thanks them after working hard in a battle. This difference was also noted by [[Zoey]] who said that Paul and Reggie seemed like complete opposites.

In ''[[DP067|Crossing the Battle Line!]]'', Reggie and his {{p|Staraptor}} helped {{AP|Ash's Staravia|Staraptor}} to learn {{m|Brave Bird}}. He appeared again in ''[[DP069|Enter Galactic!]]'' where he used [[Paul's Electivire|Paul's Electabuzz]] to help Ash fight [[Team Galactic]].

He made a cameo appearance in ''[[DP111|Saving the World From Ruins!]]''. He also appeared in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'', where he watched his brother's battle against {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}. In this episode Reggie's loss against Brandon, which was being watched by Paul, was shown in a flashback. Back then he was told by Brandon that he lacked a unique battle strategy which is why he gave up on being a Pokémon Trainer. This incident is what caused Paul to be more focused on a Pokémon's strength than anything else.

Reggie reappeared in ''[[DP131|Pedal to the Mettle!]]'' and ''[[DP132|Evolving Strategies!]]'' to watch the battle between {{Ash}} and [[Paul]], which was suggested by him at the end of ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'' to see how far the two {{pkmn|Trainer}}s have developed.

He reappeared in ''[[DP186|Familiarity Breeds Strategy!]]'' and explained that work was keeping him from attending the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]. After discussing Paul's Pokémon line-up and what he had learned as a result from meeting Ash, Reggie encouraged his brother to win. After that, he was seen watching the battle on television between Paul and Ash.

==Character==
Reggie seems to have the same attitude towards Pokémon as Ash, which is very surprising seeing as that he is the older brother of [[Paul]]. He has become friends with Ash and {{Ashfr}}. Several people have noted that Reggie and Paul are as different as Ash and Paul are.

When [[Team Galactic]] [[DP069|attempted]] to steal the Veilstone Meteorites, Reggie used Electabuzz to fight off the {{p|Golbat}} that [[Saturn]]'s grunts were using to create a distraction. During the battle, Electabuzz and Pikachu saved each other from sneak attacks and this helped them end their feud. Afterwards Reggie sent Electabuzz back to Paul for his upcoming battle at the [[Pastoria Gym]].}}

It was mentioned in ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]'' that Reggie takes care of [[Paul]]'s other reserve Pokémon as well. Paul had left {{p|Electabuzz}} with Reggie prior to ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]'' and had taken it back before ''[[DP081|Chim - Charred!]]''.

It is unknown if any of these Pokémon belong to Paul; possibly none of them, given Paul's recruitment methods. Also, Paul may not be the only trainer Reggie looks after Pokémon for and the above ones may belong to other unknown trainers.

2012-05-06T15:00:24Z

Pressthebutton: /* Gender */

== Name ==

I'm surprised that this hasn't been named '''Sir Aaron's Lucario''', seeing as it is his Pokémon. But is ownership lost after the trainer dies? But now they're both dead, isn't Lucario Sir Aaron's Pokémon once more? Like in the ending where they eat chocolate? [[User:Tesh|'''TESHIGIGAS''']] [[Image:Ani486MS.gif|{{{2|486}}}]] 16:30, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
:I'm guessing the reason it was named Lucario (anime) is because although it belonged to Sir Aaron, it wasn't really shown under his ownership except for in flashbacks. Also, Bulbapedia as a rule that we don't name Pokémon articles after characters of the day. Now, while Sir Aaron isn't technically a character of the day, perhaps it was the same sort of reasoning in naming the article the way it was named. That, and the fact that it's consistent with the other major Pokémon characters in movies (ie, {{OBP|Jirachi|M06}}, {{an|Manaphy}}, {{an|Mewtwo}}, {{an|Latios}}, {{an|Latias}}). Personally, I think it's fine the way it is. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] [[User talk:PAK Man|Talk]] 17:20, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
::I just got curious, but now I know follows a pattern. Thanks anyway. [[User:Tesh|'''TESHIGIGAS''']] [[Image:Ani486MS.gif|{{{2|486}}}]] 17:22, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
:::Lucario is notable enough for an article - that isn't an issue and doesn't affect the naming. The name is such because Lucario was an apprentice of Aaron rather than actually owned by him. (If Ash hypothetically trained under Riley, he wouldn't become Riley's Ash.) --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] [[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|T]]-[[Special:Contributions/Fabu-Vinny|C]]-[[User:Fabu-Vinny/Sandbox|S]] 17:35, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

== Deceased ==

WE DON'T KNOW THAT LUCARIO DIED. If that was the case, then why would we see Lucario and Aaron in the end credits? Not a vision of the past, for they were eating chocolate. Not Heaven, because Pokémon doesn't bring that sort of thing into play. When you die, you don't become a bunch of light and just vanish. I say it's more like suspended animation. [[User:Kiryu|Kiryu]] 01:59, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
:Sadly, going either way requires speculation. How do you know there is no Poké-Heaven? Maybe they they ghosts when eating the chocolate. Or maybe you're right. Who knows for sure? [[User:The Dark Fiddler|The Dark Fiddler]] - [[User talk:The Dark Fiddler|10% Satisfaction Guaranteed!]] 02:03, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

:::From what i've heard, unconfirmed material shouldn't be on here. Also from what i've heard, lucario being deceased is not confirmed. Genders that aren't confirmed aren't allowed here, why is everything else? ([[User:GT4GTR|GT4GTR]] 12:11, 10 August 2009 (UTC))
:::Anyone? Should it be changed because it's uncomfirmed? ([[User:GT4GTR|GT4GTR]] 01:28, 12 September 2009 (UTC))
::::Why not change it to "deceased(uncomfirmed)"?--[[user:Mtn otter|Mtn otter]] We are the Void 13:13, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

::::::There is no inarguable proof that this lucario actually died, therefore, unless we get an interview with one of the writers of the movie, it is unconfirmed. Besides, until the togepi episode came out, Ash's pikachu's gender was "male (confirmed in dub olnly)", which is an even ''worse'' entry.--[[user:Mtn otter|Mtn otter]] We are the Void 17:07, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
:::::::Not really. We had to have that because there are people who actually believed that Pikachu was female. And they would say that because he was only called "he" in the dub, it wasn't official since the dub normally has mistakes. '''[[Team Rocket|R.A.]] [[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Hunter]] [[User Talk:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Blade]]''' 19:10, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
Yes, but there are people who actually beleive that lucario did not die. Just as it never stated pikacu's gender, nobody ever said that he died. To us it looked more like it and Aaron were absorbed into the tree itself.--[[user:Mtn otter|Mtn otter]] We are the Void 18:52, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

For instance, I do believe Lucario is not dead, and neither is Aaron: in the credits, they were shown not very far away from Cameran Palace, and it was foggy, so it must have been in their own time (even though they were eating chocolate). I think, when Lucario vanished the aura of Aaron and Lucario was absorbed by the tree and they were transported to the past. --[[User:Prospekt|Prospekt]] 21:41, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
:That's a huge amount of speculation. Aaron and Lucario both gave up their Aura, and Aura is life energy. Without any life energy, something dies. Instead of being sent back in time, the foggy area in the credits is much mor elikely to be the Pokémon world's afterlife.[[User:Reign|Reign]] 06:51, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

:That could be true, but it's a bit strange that there was a palace in the 'afterlife' which was exactly like the Cameran Palace. Moreover, the anime never shows anything like afterlife. Still, it could be the afterlife. Or it may not. We will never know. - [[User:Vargamate|Vargamate]] 18:14, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

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

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

==Lake guardians and Loundred==

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

== Pikachu Short Marill ==

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

== Slowking ==

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

:I oppose. Slowking has done too little to even have its own article.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F''']][[Reshiram (Pokémon)|orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F''']][[Zekrom (Pokémon)|ire]] 12:03, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

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

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

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

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

== Sunglasses Krokorok and Ash ==

When [[BW065]] airs, should we add Sunglasses Krokorok to recurring wild Pokemon that have been caught knwoing that Ash will catch it? [[User:Chomper4|Chomper4]] 16:50, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

Mold Breaker (Ability)

2012-05-05T16:12:47Z

Pressthebutton: /* Generation V */

{{AbilityInfobox
|name=Mold Breaker
|jpname=かたやぶり

'''Mold Breaker''' (Japanese: '''かたやぶり''' ''Mold-Breaking'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation IV]]. Twelve {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} have this Ability.

==Effect==
===In battle===
====Generation IV====
When a Pokémon with Mold Breaker is brought out, the message "'''<name> has Mold Breaker!'''" will be displayed.

Mold Breaker negates the effects of [[ability|abilities]] that could ''potentially'' weaken or negate moves or the side-effects of moves that the Mold Breaker Pokémon use (Mold Breaker will allow the user's {{m|Earthquake}} to hit a Pokémon with {{a|Levitate}}, but has no effect on your ally's Earthquake).

Mold Breaker nullifies the following abilities (even if they would end up boosting the power of the Mold Breaker Pokémon's move): {{a|Battle Armor}}, {{a|Clear Body}}, {{a|Damp}}, {{a|Dry Skin}}, {{a|Filter}}, {{a|Flash Fire}}, {{a|Flower Gift}}, {{a|Heatproof}}, {{a|Hyper Cutter}}, {{a|Immunity}}, {{a|Inner Focus}}, {{a|Insomnia}}, {{a|Keen Eye}}, {{a|Leaf Guard}}, {{a|Levitate}}, {{a|Lightningrod}}, {{a|Limber}}, {{a|Magma Armor}}, {{a|Marvel Scale}}, {{a|Motor Drive}}, {{a|Oblivious}}, {{a|Own Tempo}}, {{a|Sand Veil}}, {{a|Shell Armor}}, {{a|Shield Dust}}, {{a|Simple}}, {{a|Snow Cloak}}, {{a|Solid Rock}}, {{a|Soundproof}}, {{a|Sticky Hold}}, {{a|Storm Drain}}, {{a|Sturdy}}, {{a|Suction Cups}}, {{a|Tangled Feet}}, {{a|Thick Fat}}, {{a|Unaware}}, {{a|Vital Spirit}}, {{a|Volt Absorb}}, {{a|Water Absorb}}, {{a|Water Veil}}, {{a|White Smoke}}, and {{a|Wonder Guard}}.

Mold Breaker only negates these abilities in the event they weaken or negate moves; they are active in any other instance. While Mold Breaker allows a Pokémon to bypass the effects of moves that prevent status (i.e. Immunity, Insomnia, Limber, Own Tempo, and Vital Spirit, but not Leaf Guard), the status the Pokémon's move inflicts will be cured instantly after the attack. Lightningrod and Storm Drain still divert attacks in double or triple battles, but will not prevent attacks when they land (and will not make any Electric- or Water-type attacks hit with 100% accuracy, respectively). Dry Skin still heals or damages the Pokémon in the appropriate weather.

====Generation V====
When a Pokémon with Mold Breaker is brought out, the message "'''<name> breaks the mold!'''" will be displayed. As this is a strange quote from several points of view, the quote can lead to confusion and/or hilarity.

Mold Breaker nullifies the same abilities as in Generation IV, as well as the following abilities (even if they would end up boosting the power of the Mold Breaker Pokémon's move): {{a|Big Pecks}}, {{a|Contrary}}, {{a|Heavy Metal}}, {{a|Light Metal}}, {{a|Magic Bounce}}, {{a|Multiscale}}, {{a|Telepathy}}, and {{a|Wonder Skin}}.

===Outside of battle===
Mold Breaker has no effect outside of battle.

Blue (game)/Red, Green, and Blue

2012-05-04T23:04:14Z

Pressthebutton: /* Intro */

This is a list of the teams of {{ga|Blue|the rival}} in {{game2|Red|Green|Blue}}. His [[starter Pokémon]] depends on the player's choice (he will choose the one that weakens the player's), while the remainder of his team will be filled out based on this choice. In the battle on the S.S. Anne, Blue has a Raticate; however, before the next battle, Blue is facing a gravestone and he no longer has the Raticate. Some believe that his Raticate died or was killed, while others assume that he simply deposited it in the PC.

Pressthebutton: /* Intro */

This is a list of the teams of {{ga|Blue|the rival}} in {{game2|Red|Green|Blue}}. His [[starter Pokémon]] depends on the player's choice (he will choose the one that weakens the player's), while the remainder of his team will be filled out based on this choice. In the battle on the S.S. Anne, Blue has a Raticate; however, before the next battle, Blue is facing a gravestone and he no longer has the Raticate. Some believe that his Raticate was killed or died, while others assume that he simply deposited it in the PC.

Animation physics

2012-05-03T03:23:17Z

Pressthebutton: /* Move and type effectiveness errors */

'''Anime physics''' is a [[fanon]] term used to describe all the unusual, impossible, and sometimes absurd moments in the {{pkmn|anime}} where real-world physics do not seem to apply. At times, the term can also be used to describe when an [[move|attack]] works differently in the anime than it would in the {{Pkmn|games}}. Some common examples are unusual feats of strength and agility, surviving lethal attacks, and the {{wp|magic satchel}} theory (the ability to hold innumerable items in one [[bag]]).

Anime physics are often caused by several factors. Inconsistencies in animation, such as objects changing size in-between scenes or even single video frames, are usually the result of unintentional mistakes on the animators' part. Some mistakes, such as characters frequently having different heights throughout an episode or show (without specific reason), are simply the result lack of skill or care on the animators' part.

Deviations from standard laws defined in the real world are common in some genres of animation, in this case the Pokémon anime. Characters may sustain damage that normally would result in mortal injuries or immediate death, but instead are simply left soot-covered (in the case of explosions or incineration), disheveled, or fatigued. Characters may not age, whether or not time does actually pass within the fictional universe. In the Pokémon universe, main characters often mention weeks, months, or even a year to have passed, but themselves do not age. [[Ash Ketchum]], who at his [[EP001|debut]] was confirmed to be 10 years old, [[BW001|remains at the age of 10 to this day]], despite the fact that episodes occasionally state weeks to have passed since the previous one.

A common deviation from normalcy in most fiction, especially that for children and young adults, is characters never seeming to require excretion of waste that humans in the real world require. Although references to bathrooms are made, characters may never be witnessed mentioning the need to use one, or attending one. This is usually due to the common societal taboo against discussing urination or defecation, and the fact that such references are needless filler in the context of most stories.

==Examples==

===Loose physics===
Some phenomena that appear in the anime (as well as the entire [[Pokémon]] canon) are impossible in real-world physics.
* [[Poké Ball]]s change in size and convert Pokémon to and from a plasma-like substance (the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} retains its consciousness in this state).
* [[Move|Moves]] like {{m|Water Gun}} are depicted as spitting water, but usually the Pokémon spits much more water than its body could hold.
* In ''[[DP044|Mass Hip-Po-Sis!]]'', {{p|Hippopotas}} initially doesn't weigh down {{TRT}}'s [[Team Rocket's mechas|balloon]], but it does after using {{m|Sand Tomb}}. This means the move creates the sand out of nothing.
* In the anime, many things explode. Most attacks explode when they connect with an opposing attack, even if the attacks would not normally do so (even, and some would say especially, inert, non-volatile substances such as leaves or water).
**In [[Pokémon Contests]], almost every move will explode and send a shower of sparkles down into the crowd.
**Some moves explode when they clearly cannot, such as a {{m|Bite}} attack.
**Sometimes moves are amplified in power and even made to explode just to enable them to blast off [[Team Rocket#In the anime|Team Rocket]].
* During some of the battles in the anime, the Pokémon stay in the air longer than usual despite their weight, either when using attacks or receiving attacks (not including Pokémon that fly naturally). This is evident in ''[[DP108|Dealing With Defensive Types!]]'' when {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Chimchar|Infernape}} battles against [[Byron]]'s {{p|Bronzor}} and actually can be seen floating.
** On a similar note, many attacks do not move at the speed they normally would (or should), sometimes even leaving enough time for characters to have a three or four sentence conversation. An example is in ''[[DP103|Jumping Rocket Ship!]]''. {{an|Barry}} has his {{TP|Barry|Empoleon}} use {{m|Hydro Pump}} a few seconds before Ash's Chimchar uses {{m|Flamethrower}}, and they clash in the exact middle of the battlefield. This could just mean that that Flamethrower accelerates much quicker, but before the attacks even collide, Jessie gets in several lines of dialogue.
* In ''[[Like It or Lup It!]]'', [[Dawn's Piplup]] uses {{m|BubbleBeam}} while spinning in the air. Defying the laws of physics, Piplup manages to "float" in the air while releasing the bubbles which spin around Piplup when BubbleBeam is supposed to travel in a straight direction, not floating around slowly.
* In almost every episode, [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} manage to get launched hundreds of feet into the air, sometimes crashing through the roof of a building or a cave wall, by various means (usually a Pokémon attack). However, others standing near them will not be moved or even affected, and Team Rocket never get too hurt from the flight, which would surely kill a normal person. They also are in a stationary position during the first part of their flight, and then start suddenly spinning, normally after making a humorous comment.
** In ''[[SS012|Training Daze]]'', Team Rocket is already flying when the episode starts and they don't land during the episode.
** Similarly, in ''[[SS002|Cerulean Blues]]'', Misty is struck by numerous {{m|Poison Sting}} attacks, but suffers no lasting injuries. Also, the Invincible Pokémon Brothers are blasted through the [[Gym]]'s roof by a {{m|Hyper Beam}}, yet can still be heard to make a comment as they fly off.
* Characters throughout the anime have repeatedly been shown to take attacks such as {{m|Thunderbolt}} (the Japanese name meaning 100,000 Volts), and Flamethrower with no long-lasting harmful effects, though there are obvious problems with this in the real world.
** One example of this is in ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]'', where {{an|Brock}} is shown to survive taking one of {{AP|Charmander}}'s Flamethrower to the face. Less than ten seconds after the attack he is shown looking perfectly fine with the attack not even damaging his clothes. These types of scenes often are like this one in that they are intended to be humorous.
* Pokémon often disobey {{wp|Newton's laws of motion|Newton's Third Law}}: Attacks, such as Hyper Beam, that blast the target backwards do nothing of the sort to the user. This is especially notable with flying or levitating Pokémon; they can't even brace themselves against the ground.
* In ''[[DP170|An Elite Coverup!]]'', Team Rocket's {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} can be seen running on top of {{TP|Jessie| Wobbuffet}} while staying in place. This would be impossible because then Mime Jr. would run in Wobbuffet's inertial reference frame and increase speed in respect to Wobbuffet.
* Whenever Team Rocket has prop decoys such as a fake building to hide away from pursuers, the building always decreases in height after it falls so that the pursuers are not crushed.

===Magic satchels===
[[File:Cilan cookware.png|thumb|200px|right|Contents of Cilan's backpack.]]
* Ash and his friends seem to have an unlimited amount of space in their bags or pockets, especially Brock and {{an|Cilan}}, from a sleeping bag to the things they use to cook.
* In ''[[EP115|A Tent Situation]]'', Tracey brings out around 40-50 sketch books to show to [[Professor Oak]] and then puts them back in the same bag that they should not have fit into in the first place.
* Cilan appears to keep a table, chairs, and a miniature kitchen complete with tableware in his backpack.

===Move and type effectiveness errors===
* Many times when [[Ash's Pikachu]] fights a {{type2|Ground}} Pokémon, it uses an {{type2|Electric}} move and it will cause damage.
** Since the beginning of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, Electric-type attacks have been consistently shown to have no effect on Ground-type Pokémon.
* {{an|May}}'s {{TP|May|Squirtle|Wartortle}} attacked and damaged [[Harley]]'s {{p|Banette}} with {{m|Tackle}} in ''[[AG174|New Plot, Odd Lot]]'', despite the {{t|Ghost}} type's immunity to {{type2|Normal}} attacks.
* In multiple instances, {{m|Shadow Ball}} is able to hit {{type|Normal}} Pokémon, despite being a {{type|Ghost}} attack.
* Pokémon without {{a|Sturdy}} surviving [[one-hit knockout move]]s, like {{m|Horn Drill}}, without fainting.

* Some non-damaging attacks cause damage to the Pokémon being attacked, such as [[Pyramid King Brandon#Dusclops|Brandon's Dusclops]] using {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}.
** Furthermore, it affected [[Ash's Charizard]] which, as a {{type|Fire}} Pokémon, should be unaffected by Will-O-Wisp.
* {{m|Safeguard}} has been able to protect against attacks instead of status problems.
* {{m|Light Screen}} has been able to block physical attacks, even though it usually only affects special attacks.
* {{type|Psychic}} moves have had effect on {{type|Dark}} Pokémon, even though Dark-type Pokémon are immune to the effects of Psychic-type moves.
** In ''[[SS005|The Blue Badge of Courage]]'', {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} uses {{m|Confusion}} on a {{p|Poochyena}} that belongs to the [[Gym Badge thieves]].
** In ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'', [[Karl]]'s {{p|Bronzor}} levitated {{mov|Zorua|Zorua|13}} with {{m|Psychic}}. As a {{type|Dark}} Pokémon, Zorua is immune to {{type|Psychic}} moves.
* In ''[[DP031|The Grass-Type Is Always Greener!]]'', [[Gardenia#Turtwig|Gardenia's Turtwig]] used {{m|Leech Seed}} on [[Ash's Turtwig]], even though Grass-type Pokémon are immune to the effects of Leech Seed.
* In ''[[EP066|The Evolution Solution]]'', Shellder was [[Fainting|knocked out]] by [[James's Weezing]]'s {{m|Haze}} attack. Haze does no damage, therefore cannot replicate this effect.
* In ''[[AG185|Duels of the Jungle]]'', a {{p|Weavile}} dodged a {{m|Swift}} used by {{Ash|Ash's}} {{AP|Aipom}}, even though Swift cannot miss in the games.
*In ''[[BW049| Enter Elesa, Electrifying Gym Leader!]]'', [[Elesa]]'s Zebstrika dodges {{m|Swift}}, even though Swift cannot miss in the games.

===Other conflicts with the games===
* The weight of some Pokémon is sometimes ignored in the anime:
** {{Ash}} was able to pick up {{TP|Ash|Larvitar}} despite it weighing more than [[List of Pokémon by weight|150 lbs (70 kg)]], according to game data. {{p|Hippopotas}} is also similar, due to the fact that there are 109 lbs (49 kg) of weight is bearing down on Ash's head and neck. Someone of similar stature in the real world would be prone to serious (if not irreparable) head, back, and/or neck injuries. Similarly, {{an|May}}'s {{TP|May|Beautifly}} has often landed on people's heads with no adverse effects despite the species weighing 62 lbs (24 kg).
** In ''[[AG147|Sweet Baby James]]'', Jessie picks up [[May's Munchlax]] and puts it in a bag, despite it weighing over 220 lbs (100 kg). On another note of this, in ''[[AG159|Off the Unbeaten Path]]'', [[Max]] was able to carry it on his back despite Munchlax weighing around four times as much as Max.
* The anime often makes Pokémon bigger than the games say they are, like {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}.
* In the anime, certain {{type2|Water}} Pokémon like {{p|Carvanha}} and {{p|Sharpedo}} can't be used by Trainers without being in water when [[Pokémon battle|battling]], unlike how they seem to "float" over the ground in the games, specifically the 3D games.
* In ''[[AG170|Second Time's the Charm!]]'', Ash recalled his {{AP|Corphish}} and sent it right back out again, which is impossible in the games.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Machop}} starting at [[level]] 28 and evolves into {{p|Machamp}} when [[trade]]d.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Machoke appear as larger, {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a bipedal, tailless form|tailless}} {{p|Machop}} with red marks along their muscular arms. Their faces are more reptilian than before. The marks actually look like places where the skin has stretched apart because it can barely contain its huge muscles. Machoke wear black wrestling tights for better movement and a large, golden belt with a little red P on the buckle.
====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
Machoke are Pokémon of immense strength. In fact, they are so strong that even with the power-save belt they constantly wear to control their power they are able to lift a dump truck with one hand.

===Behavior===
Strong and capable, Machoke helps people with labor.
===Habitat===
[[File:Mountain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon}}]]
Machoke live in mountains, in foreboding areas where they can hone their skills. They can also be found in urban areas, as they are often employed for manual labor. They are most common in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]] and [[Sinnoh]].

[[File:Machoke Adventures.png|200px|right|thumb|Machoke in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga]]
Machoke debuts in its own round, ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]''. Here, it protected the [[Viridian Gym]] from intruders, attacking {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Professor Oak}}, but [[Saur|Bulbasaur]] defeated it with a {{m|SolarBeam}}.

{{Adv|Blue}} also had a Machoke that evolved into [[Blue's Machamp|Machamp]] under Red's care, but was traded back afterwards..

Machoke was seen again in {{PAV|18}} as one of [[Brawly]]'s Pokémon; it is unconfirmed if this Machoke evolved from the Machop he had in {{PAV|16}}. Machoke attempted to fight [[Mack]]'s fiery illusions in {{PAV|20}} at the [[Lilycove Museum]], but failed miserably and ended up getting burned. His {{p|Hariyama}} succeeded in doing so, however.

===In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga===
A {{tc|Galactic Grunt}} uses a Machoke in ''[[DPA05|Find Munchlax!!]]''.

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Machoke was originally known as "Kung-Foo". This name is a corruption of ''kung fu'', a Chinese martial art.
* In [[The Official Pokémon Handbook]], Machoke is described as being extremely narcissistic; "Machoke,[...]likes its own body way too much. Sometimes it's too busy looking at itself in the mirror to train", which is exactly the opposite of the description given in Pokémon Stadium; "Although it is incredibly strong, it is always modest".
* In the anime, Machoke appears to have a greenish skin pigment, while it keeps a purple color in the games and in Ken Sugimori's official artwork.
* In the {{wp|Family Guy}} episode ''{{wp|April in Quahog}}'', a superhero that strongly resembles Machoke is seen depicted on a poster in Chris's room.
* Machoke's belt looks very similar to the Winner's Belt prop in {{game|Black and White|s}}.
* There is a short, non-famous creepypasta about and named after this Pokemon. It theorizes about a Machoke's muscles somehow partially going through its skin.

===Origin===
Machoke appears to be based on a {{wp|bodybuilder}} or wrestler with some reptilian traits.
====Name origin====
Machoke may be a combination of ''macho'' ({{wp|Spanish (language)|Spanish}} for ''overly masculine'' or ''chauvinist'') and ''choke''. ''Macho'' has come to mean tough or masculine in English. Akin to {{p|Mr. Mime}}, the masculine attribute has no reflection on gender assignment, as both species can be male and female; however, {{p|Machop}}'s evolutionary line does have a 3:1 male:female ratio, making the species predominantly—but not entirely—male.

Goriky is a corruption of 剛力 ''gōriki'' ({{wp|Hercules|herculean}} strength).

'''Octillery''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''オクタン''' ''Okutank'') is a {{type2|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Remoraid}} starting at [[level]] 25.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Octillery are red cephalopod Pokémon with turret-like mouths, yellow bumps on their rock-hard heads, and yellow suction cups on each tentacle. They possess eight tentacles, two of which are used for manipulating objects while the other six don't appear to be used as much aside from a stabilizing role.

====Gender differences====
Female Octillery have smaller suction cups on their tentacles. The yellow bumps on their head are also smaller.

===Special abilities===
Octillery is much more powerful than its pre-evolved form, Remoraid, but it happens to be much slower. Octillery's tentacles boast stronger gripping power. Because of that, it is very hard for it to be blown away. It is also capable of using various moves that either launch projectiles or beams, such as {{m|Sludge Bomb}}, {{m|Flamethrower}}, {{m|Energy Ball}}, {{m|Flash Cannon}}, {{m|Rock Blast}}, {{m|Bullet Seed}}, {{m|Charge Beam}}, and due to its status as a fully evolved Pokémon, it can also use {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}.

Octillery is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Octazooka}} by leveling up.

===Behavior===
Octillery are relaxed Pokémon who love fuss from their trainers. Wild Octillery will spurt ink at predators to protect their young from danger. Even though caught Octillery are more docile, wild Octillery can be very stubborn at times. Octillery instinctively sneak into rocky holes, and if it gets sleepy, it steals the nest of a fellow Octillery. It sometimes sprays ink on prey by sticking out only its mouth, and its suction cups hold prey tightly.

===Habitat===

==Trivia==
* Octillery is the only non-{{t|Poison}} Pokémon to learn {{m|Gunk Shot}} by leveling up.
* {{p|Remoraid}} and Octillery are the only non-legendary, non-{{type2|Ice}} Pokémon to learn Ice Beam naturally that do not gain Ice as a secondary type through evolution.
** Excluding {{m|SolarBeam}}, Octillery can learn all moves that contain "Beam" in their name via [[TM]], [[level|leveling up]], or [[move tutor]].
* Octillery is the only Pokémon so far to have an attack specifically named after it. In Japanese, "{{m|Octazooka}}" is known as "Okutank Cannon"
* Although it is said in many Pokédex entries to have a rock hard head, it cannot learn {{m|Headbutt}} or {{m|Iron Head}}, and does not have the ability {{a|Rock Head}}.
*Octillery is the only Generation II Pokémon whose name starts with the letter O.
*Even though Octillery is classified as the Jet Pokémon, it cannot learn {{m|Aqua Jet}} by any means.
**Despite being based on a cannon, learning a high number of projectile moves not its type and being a Water-type, Octillery can not learn {{m|Hydro Pump}}. However, it can learn {{m|Water Spout}} through breeding.
* There is a short, non-famous creepypasta called "Octillery". The plot includes a female Octillery torturing her trainer out of fear.

===Origin===
This {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} is based on an {{wp|octopus}}. It also has some basis on a tank or a wheeled cannon.

====Name origin====
Octillery is a combination of ''{{wp|octopus}}'' and ''{{wp|artillery}}''.

Okutank is a combination of ''octopus'' and ''{{wp|tank}}''.

'''Smeargle''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ドーブル''' ''Doble'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

Smeargle is best known for its ability to use the move {{m|Sketch}}, which permanently copies the last move used by the opponent. Due to this, it can legitimately have any [[move]] in the Pokémon games except for {{m|Chatter}}, and it can pass on any [[Egg move]] to Pokémon in the {{egg3|Field}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Smeargle are beagle-like, bipedal white and brown Pokémon that seem unremarkable at first, but they possess a long tail with an end that resembles a paintbrush. This paintbrush oozes with paint, and the color of the paint is apparently different for each Smeargle. Although sprites from the game depict green, brown and red, the anime also shows yellow and blue. It's been implied that each Smeargle has a different colored tail.

Smeargle each have a footprint on their backs that have the same color as the tail-tip. Smeargle also have a round structure on their heads with a point that resembles a beret in shape, with floppy, brown colored ears and a brown colored ‘collar’ on their necks. The rings encircling a Smeargle’s eyes are also brown, as are Smeargle’s eyelids. Their arms have two brown bands, and their legs only one, and each of the limbs have three digits, the fingers apparently being dexterous.

====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
Smeargle secretes a fluid from its tail, which can be used as paint. Smeargle is the only Pokémon known to express itself in an artistic fashion. Smeargle is also the only Pokémon that can learn nearly any move permanently (with the exception of {{m|Struggle}} and {{m|Chatter}}) thanks to its [[signature move]], {{m|Sketch}}.

===Behavior===
Smeargle live in groups. When a Smeargle reaches adulthood, the other members of the group draw a paw-print pattern on its back. Those who refuse to let themselves be marked are ostracized from the pack.

===Habitat===
[[File:Urban.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon}}]]
Smeargle are very adaptable, and can live just about anywhere. One can always tell when a Smeargle's territory is found because it will mark the boundary with the paint-like substance excreted by its tail.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==Trivia==
* Due to its [[signature move]] {{m|Sketch}}, Smeargle can legally possess any move (other than {{m|Chatter}}), giving it a number of distinctions:
** Smeargle is the only Pokémon able to have both {{m|Thrash}} and {{a|Own Tempo}}, making it able to use the move without becoming confused; the same also applies to {{m|Outrage}}.
** Smeargle is the only non-{{pkmn2|legendary}}, non-{{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon able to legally know {{m|Draco Meteor}} without the need for an event.
** Smeargle is also the only non-starter Pokémon able to legally know {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}}, {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, {{m|Grass Pledge}}, {{m|Fire Pledge}}, and {{m|Water Pledge}} and the only one able to legally know them all.
** Smeargle can pass down any [[Egg move]] combinations to any Pokémon in the {{egg3|Field}}.
** {{m|Hidden Power}}-evaluating NPCs cannot identify the type of Smeargle's Hidden Power even if Smeargle posesses the move, due to being unable to use the TM for it.
* Smeargle is the only Pokémon capable of learning the same move more than twice - some Pokémon have the same move available at level 1 as well as by leveling up, while Smeargle has the same move available ten times as it levels up.
* Initially, the normal sprite of Smeargle featured a tail tipped with red paint, while the {{Shiny}} form had green paint; this was changed in later generations, reversing the colors. However, Smeargle's art has always featured a green-tipped tail.
** In 3D games, Smeargle's tail is red for the normal Smeargle and green for the Shiny version, despite the corresponding handheld games.
** In the anime, Smeargle have been seen with different colored-tipped tails.
* In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]] mission "Smeargle's Desperate Plea", even though the Smeargle refuses to have a paw painted onto its back, the paw print is nonetheless present on its sprite.
* Smeargle can use Chatter by using a sketched Metronome. Since it ends up using Struggle once all its moves run out of PP as any other Pokémon would, this gives Smeargle an enormous movepool, which can only be matched by a Pokémon that knows Metronome, as long as the other said Pokémon isn't in a Generation I game.

===Origin===
Smeargle appears to be based on a {{wp|beagle}} and a {{wp|painter}}.

====Name origin====
Smeargle's name may be a combination of ''smear'' and ''beagle''. It could also contain {{wp|Gollum|Sméagol}}, the diminutive imp from {{wp|The Hobbit}} and its sequels.

''Doble'' may be a combination of ''dog'' and ''doodle'' or ''dabble'' – to splatter liquid, which could be a reference to paint being splattered. ''Doble'' also means ''double'' in Spanish, perhaps referencing Smeargle's ability to copy opponent's techniques.

== Translation ==

It seems as if 宿主 ''yadonushi'' (parasitic host) is much more appropriate than 宿借り ''yadokari'' (hermit crab), given that Shellder is essentially a parasite on Yadon's head. And I quote the PokéDex:

''When its head was bitten, toxins entered Slowpoke's head and unlocked an extraordinary power.'' (Silver)
''Every time it yawns, Shellder injects more poison into it. The poison makes it more intelligent.'' (Crystal)
''Slowking undertakes research every day in an effort to solve the mysteries of the world. However, this Pokémon apparently forgets everything it has learned if the Shellder on its head comes off.'' (Ru/Sa)

And for Slowbro:

''The Shellder that latches onto the Slowbro's tail is said to feed on the host's leftover scraps'' (RB)
''Naturally dull to begin with, it lost its ability to feel pain due to Shellder's seeping poison.'' (Silver)
''An attached Shellder won't let go because of the tasty flavor that oozes out of its tail.'' (Crystal)

-[[User:Argy|Argy]]

>Why can't it be both? "King of the parastic hermit crabs"?

- Zeta {{unsigned|Zeta}}

I don't see why it is a hermit crab. Yes, Shellder acts as a shell, but Slowking doesn't live inside it, and Shellder is living as opposed to being empty. -[[User:Argy|Argy]]

>Yes, but Yadon still refers to "hermit crab", and Shellder isn't even involved at that stage. It's relative, "Yadoran" ALSO refers to hermit crab. It refers to hermit crab because everything else in it's evolutionary path refers to hermit crabs, even if Slowking diverges a little, it certainly doesn't diverge more than Yadon - who has no shell at all!

- Zeta {{unsigned|Zeta}}

You have the relationship reversed - Shelder is the parasite (寄生), and Slowking is the host (宿主). Interestingly, one of the other meanings of 宿主 is landlord. However, I am inclined to think that ''yado'' is a reference to hermit crabs more than anything else. {{unsigned|Zhen Lin}}

Well, let's just compromise, then. I'll add the part about hermit crabs, even though I still see absolutely '''no''' connection. Zeta, Yadon still has the potential to become a parasitic host, so that isn't out of the question. -[[User:Argy|Argy]]

==Should we have a Slowking (Pokémon 4Ever) Article==
Should we make an article about the Slowking in [[Pokémon 4Ever]]? --[[User:Theryguy512]]
:I think no, because Slowking appeared in [[The Power of One]], didn't it? --[[User:DarkfireTaimatsu|DarkfireTaimatsu]] 19:30, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

==Trivia==
Is it worth noting that Shellder's shiny form is gold, something that shiny Slowbro's honor, Shiny Slowking's shellder isn't gold?--[[User:Goukazaru|Nostalgia]] 03:21, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
Well, if you think about it, the chances of a shiny Shellder latching onto a shiny Slopoke in anyway is really unlikely (1 in roughly 4000). I think that because the chances are so small, its 1. The reason why its not depicted that way, and 2. not worth mentioning.--[[User:Blaziken=Tahu|Blaziken=Tahu]] 22:25, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
