==Maximum Power?==

Does Fury Cutter have a maximum power gain? [[User:Gywall|'''Gywall''']]([[User_talk:Gywall|Talk]]) 13:51, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
:I read somewhere that it maxes out after it's power has reached a value of 16 times it's original power (10). So that would mean after 5 turns it's power would reach 160 and in the next turn it would reset. [[User:Tesh|'''TESH''']][[User_talk:Tesh|'''IGIGAS''']] 19:24, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
:Are we even sure of that?--[[User:Dragonbeastx|DRAGON]][[User talk:Dragonbeastx|BEAST]][[User:Dragonbeastx/The Aura Spot|X]] 23:34, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
::I just tried this in Diamond. The 6th hit did at least as much damage as the 5th. It doesn't reset, but maxes out, so the base power would go 10, 20, 40, 80, 160, 160, 160, etc. [[User:Meeve|Meeve]] 04:09, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

== STAB and Technician ==
[[Scyther]] can learn Fury Cutter. This being a Bug-type move with base power less-than 60, what would (should/etc) happen when a [[Technician]] Scyther uses this move? Would it start with an increased base power of <tt>10 × 3/2 × 3/2 = 22</tt> and double from there, achieving an attack power of whopping <tt>'''352'''</tt> at the fifth turn? Or it would cap at attack power of 160 as with the normal version? If it is the former, would it be notable to mention in the article? --[[User:Solovino|Solovino]] 21:10, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
:First off, STAB Doesn't Affect base power directly. It is multiplied at the end. Meaning that the first time Fury attack is used the Base power is effectively 15. As to how it affects base power, it depends on whether the game doubles the last base power used or doubles the listed base power or it might simply cap off at 160. I would say that it is probably the second one, but I can't say for certain. Here is a chart for the first two cases. Feel free to fix it if anyone finds some errors with my math.

And what happens if we add a Metronom item in all this? [[User:Q's bone|Q's bone]] 04:57, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

== Gen3 bit weights may be wrong ==

In the process of my hacking, I believe I've found that the bit weights in Gen3 listed on this page are partially wrong, namely the isEgg and isNicknamed flags. I'm going to edit them to what I believe are the correct values, but if anyone knows differently, feel free to change them back. -Aerolite

UPDATE: Further hacking has revealed something that I didn't expect - the most significant bit in the IVs actually controls the ability a Pokemon has. If clear, the Pokemon will have its first ability. If set, the Pokemon will have its second. If the Pokemon doesn't have a second ability, when the IVs are generated, this bit is forced clear. If it is artificially set on a Pokemon with only one ability, then said Pokemon will have ''no ability''. --[[User:Aerolite|Aerolite]] 03:40, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

==Gen II & III==
if i give my Magneton Hidden Power in Gen II & III and it's type is one of the special types (grass, fire, water, etc..) does that mean it gets based on the Sp. Atk. or is it still physical because HP is technically a Normal-type attack? '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 02:50, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

:Let's take for instance, Hidder Power Bug. That'll be Physical, since Bug was a Physical type back in GenII and III. However, HP Ice'd be Special, since Ice is a Special type in II and III. Hope that clears up something. [[User:Tina|Tina]] [[Special:Contributions/Tina|δ]][[User talk:Tina|♫]] 02:53, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

::not entirely. hows about, if i had HP Ice on Magneton, it would run off the Sp. Atk stat instead of attack (unlike a normal-type move) thus making it useful to me (because of Magnetons high Sp.

==HP==
Hidden Power is often referred to as 'HP' by competitive battlers. However, if you search HP on Bulbapedia, you are redirected to the stats page. This could be confusing to a new player.

== Hidden Power and STAB ==

Under Movesets, Hidden Power is bolded as being a STAB for Normal-type Pokémon. However, since (i) Hidden Power's type and magnitude depends on variable stats for each ''individual'' Pokémon, let alone each species, and (ii) there is no such thing as a Normal-type Hidden Power that can be activated, should this bolding be discontinued?

== Most learned move? ==

Since every pokemon that learns a TM learns Hidden Power, and also Unown, a pokemon that doesn't learn any TMs, learns hidden power, doesn't that make it the most learned move in the game? That sounds like it should be added to the trivia section.

== Stat modification in battle. ==

okay, this is probably the best place to raise the question.

the stat altering moves change stats in "levels" of up to six. how much does each "level" change the stats by? If this is already listed somewhere, i don't know where to find it.
:As far as I can tell, it works like this<nowiki>:</nowiki> Unmodified, stats are multiplied by 2/2 (with the exception of evasion and accuracy, which use 3/3 instead). Raising a stat by one level adds 1 to the numerator, whereas lowering by one level adds 1 to the denominator. This means that if you use a move like [[Growl]], the opponent's attack stat is multiplied by 2/3. Using it again changes 2/3 to 2/4, a.k.a. 1/2, and if you use it again it goes to 2/5, then 2/6, (or 1/3,) etc. --[[User:Legollama|Legollama]] 02:09, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

:: No. Switching out resets all stat alterations, +ve or -ve. - [[User:Solarys|Solarys]] 06:03, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

==Speed question==

If two Pokémon have the same speed stat in battle, what determines which will attack first? [[User:Lucario12|Lucario12]] 16:48, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
:Good question. I'm sure that it will be chosen randomly. [[User:Tesh|'''TESH''']][[User_talk:Tesh|'''IGIGAS''']] 16:54, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

== All Stats Referred to Collectively ==

It's just an idea but I've noticed something. I've had the idea of instead of just reffering to a Pokemon's indivisual Stats; HP, Attack, Defense, Special Atk, Special Def and Speed, one could refer to all values that effect a battle.
Observe;

'''S'''pecial Attack

'''H'''P

'''A'''ttack

'''D'''efense

'''S'''pecial Defense

'''E'''vasiveness

'''A'''ccuracy

'''S'''peed

Reading the first letter of each Stat forms the word "SHADSEAS" (or an alteration on the order). What do you think? Could it be a new lingo? [[User:Bttsstewart|Bttsstewart]] 17:33, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
:Maybe, but the order seems pretty messy to me, as I'm more comfortable with the order HP-Atk-Def-SPAtk-SPDef-Spd.

== Evasion stages/modifiers? ==

What's the maximum % of evasion a PKMN can have? (I.e. 6 uses of Double Team, Bright Powder and Hail/Sandstorm ability bonus.)

Firstly, do the items/abilities stack with each other and stages linearly or diminishingly?

If linearly, it will be 96.67%: 6 stages (9/3 multiplier) = 66.67% evasion + 20% from ability boost + 10% from Bright Powder

If diminishingly with stages only, it's 76.67%: 66.67% + 6.67%{{tt|*|(100-66.67)×0.2)}} from ability boost + 3.33%{{tt|*|(100-66.67)×0.1)}} from Bright Powder

Or if diminishingly with each other AND stages, it's around 75~76%, depending on whether the item or ability is accounted for first.

- [[User:Solarys|Solarys]] 06:01, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

:I've been wondering this same thing, every time one of my Pokémon will get hit by {{m|Smokescreen}} or {{m|Sand-Attack}}, they miss more then half the time. But additional uses don't seem to make a huge difference. [[User:Derian|[[Derian]]]] 19:00, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Hey, sorry to revert the awesome-looking formula images in the [[Stats#Formula|#Formula]] section to text, but they're incorrect.

Generations {{gen|III}} and {{gen|IV}} have ''Nature ×'' '''at first''', when [[Stats#Nature|#Nature]] says this:

: ''After all other calculations are finished, the stat that the nature enhances will be 110% of what it would be without the nature, and the stat hindered will be 90% of its normal value.''

Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}} have ''EV / 2048'', when [[Effort values#Generation I]] says the formula is [[File:Statexp.png]].

And since I don't know how to make those awesome-looking formula images or even update them, I'll leave it to the uploader to modify them.

I disagree with changing the terms to the obsolete ones. It is confusing.

In the first paragraph under Effort Values, before the formulas, shouldn’t that be “For every 4 ''effort points'' gained, a level 100 Pokémon will have 1 extra point in its stats”? And where did the 50 and 2048 come from? It isn’t mentioned anywhere on this page or in the Effort Values article.

I specifically tested it on an Adamant Magikarp with perfect Atk IV, the formula gives me a stat of 8, and in the game it is 7 (I tested the IV with the IV Man). And in other Pokémon (Breloom IIRC), I had the same problem. Could someone test it? --[[User:Miliko|Miliko]] 18:52, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

:The way I sure the games do it, is for the type, each variable equals the last bit in its IV and, for the Power, each Variable equals the second to last bit. I just put it a section below this one.

== Possible HP Combos ==

The Section about the number of possible Hidden Power combinations is not entirely correct. The section says that since there are 32 possible values for each IV, the number of possible combinations is 32^6. If you get down to purely what the outcome is, then there are only 4^6 combinations. If you graph the outcomes for for the possible numbers this is what you get.

Basically, you take the binary version of the IV and look at the last two bits to get the the outcome. This means that even though each IV is a number 0-31, the outcome boils down to a number 0-3. So there are 4 significant values for each IV, and there are 6 IV's so there are 4^6 (2^12) combinations for Hidden Power. That comes out to be 4096 possible outcomes.

Hidden Power (move)/Calculation

2010-06-25T18:51:11Z

Professor: /* Type */

{{m|Hidden Power}} is a {{type2|Normal}} move. However, the real type of Hidden Power is determined by a Pokémon's [[Individual values|IVs]] and may be one of 16 types, excluding {{t|Normal}}- and {{type2|???}}s. Its power varies from 30 to 70 and is also determined by the user's IVs as well.

==Type==
Let us consider an example Pokémon, like Pikachu with this set of IVs:

{{Hidden Power calculation/IV|30|31|31|31|30|31}}

Hidden Power's type of a Pokémon with given IVs is represented by a number, calculated with this formula:
:[[Image:HPcalc1.png]]

'''HPtype'''='''Floor'''<big><big>[</big></big><big>'''('''</big>a+2*b+4*c+8*d+16*e+32*f<big>''')'''</big>*15/63<big><big>]</big></big>

where ''a,b,c,d,e,f'' are calculated in this way:

* a=1 if the Individual Value of HP is [[wp:Even_and_odd_numbers|odd]]. If not, a=0
* b=1 if the Individual Value of Attack is odd. If not, b=0
* c=1 if the Individual Value of Defense is odd. If not, c=0
* d=1 if the Individual Value of Speed is odd. If not, d=0
* e=1 if the Individual Value of Special Attack is odd. If not, e=0
* f=1 if the Individual Value of Special Defense is odd. If not, f=0

Which simply means that every element of the sum in the brace is the {{wp|remainder}} of division of corresponding IV and 2, multiplied by appropriate power of 2 (20 in case of ''a'' and 25 in case of ''f''). The sum may range from 0 (when all IVs are even) to 63 (when all IVs are odd), inclusively. It is worth mentioning that the computed sum may be easily calculated by putting its variables ''a,b,c,d,e,f'' together in reverse order and interpreting this as a number in the [[wp:Binary numeral system|binary system]], which then needs to be reverted to [[wp:Decimal|decimal system]]:

''fedcba(2)'' = 32''f''+16''e''+8''d''+4''c''+2''b''+''a'' (10)

The summed value is then multiplied by 15 and divided by 63, to be sure that the number representing Hidden Power Type will range from 0 to 15, inclusively (16 values in total). The calculated number is then [[wp:Floor_function|rounded down (''floor[]'')]], which simply means that only integral part of the calculated number is considered.

The resulting number will correspond to a type; utilize the table below.

{|border="1" style="border: 1px solid black; border-collapse: collapse; color=#FFFF" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3"

|-style="background-color: #{{Water color}}; color:#FFFFFF" align="center"

|-style="background-color: #{{Grass color}}; color:#FFFFFF" align="center"
| 10
| {{typecolor|Grass}}
|-style="background-color: #{{Electric color}}; color:#FFFFFF" align="center"

| 14
| {{typecolor|Dragon}}
|-style="background-color: #{{Dark color}}; color:#FFFFFF" align="center; color:#FFFFFF" align="center"
| 15
| {{typecolor|Dark}}
|}

In our example, we get:

{{Hidden Power calculation/IV|30 ''0''|31 ''1''|31 ''1''|31 ''1''|30 ''0''|31 ''1''}}

HP Type = Floor[('''0 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 0 + 32''')*15/63] = Floor['''46*15/63'''] = '''Floor[10.952]''' = '''10''', which means that our Pikachu has a {{type2|Grass}} {{m|Hidden Power}}.

==Damage==
Damage of the Hidden Power is calculated in a very same manner like its type, using the following formula:
:[[Image:HPcalc2.png]]

'''HPPower''' = '''Floor'''<big><big>[</big></big><big>'''('''</big>'''('''u+2*v+4*w+8*x+16*y+32*z''')'''*40/63<big>''')'''</big>+30<big><big>]</big></big>

* u=1 if the Individual Value of HP divided by 4 has a remainder of 2 or 3. If not, u=0.
* v=1 if the Individual Value of Attack divided by 4 has a remainder of 2 or 3. If not, v=0.
* w=1 if the Individual Value of Defense divided by 4 has a remainder of 2 or 3. If not, w=0.
* x=1 if the Individual Value of Speed divided by 4 has a remainder of 2 or 3. If not, x=0.
* y=1 if the Individual Value of Special Attack divided by 4 has a remainder of 2 or 3. If not, y=0.
* z=1 if the Individual Value of Special Defense divided by 4 has a remainder of 2 or 3. If not, z=0.

Like before, the sum may range from 0 to 63, inclusively. The calculated number is then multiplied by 40 and divided by 63 to make sure that the fraction will not exceed 40. Then, the number is increased by 30 and rounded down, making Hidden Power's power a number ranging from 30 to 70, inclusively.

In our example, we get:

{{Hidden Power calculation/IV|30 ''1''|31 ''1''|31 ''1''|31 ''1''|30 ''1''|31 ''1''}}

HP Type = Floor[((1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + 32)*40/63)+30] = Floor [(63*40/63)+30] = Floor[70] = '''70''', which means that our Pikachu's Hidden Power's power is '''70'''

{{Hidden Power calculation/IV|30|31|31|31|30|31}}
{{Hidden Power calculation/Type|Grass|70|000|564}}

==Number of possible Hidden Powers==
As there are 6 IVs, ranging from 0 to 31 (32 in total), the number of different possible Hidden Powers should be 326=230, which is more than one billion possibilities. But let us consider two Pokémon with one different IV:

{{Hidden Power calculation/IV|'''30'''|31|31|31|30|31|Ani025MS.png}}

and

{{Hidden Power calculation/IV|'''26'''|31|31|31|30|31|Ani025MS.png}}

As we see, both 26 and 30 are divisible by 2 and give the remainder of 2 when divided by 4. So, in both cases the algorithms will interpret the IVs of those Pokémon in the same way, returning Grass-type Hidden Power with 70 power. It means that for the mentioned algorithms an IV of 30 is treated in the same way like IVs of 2,6,10,14,18,22 and 26 (8 in total).

In fact, there are only four possibilities of IV:

{|border="0" style="border-collapse: collapse; " cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3"
|-
|1
|IV that '''is not''' even and '''does not give''' the remainder of 2 or 3 while dividing by 4:
|1, 5, 9, 13, 17, 21, 25, 29
|-
|2
|IV that '''is''' even and '''gives''' the remainder of 2 or 3 while dividing by 4:
|2, 6, 10, 14, 18, 22, 26, 30
|-
|3
|IV that '''is not''' even and '''gives''' the remainder of 2 or 3 while dividing by 4:
|3, 7, 11, 15, 19, 23, 27, 31
|-
|4
|IV that '''is''' even and '''does not give''' the remainder of 2 or 3 while dividing by 4:
|0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28
|}

In other words: only four IVs that give different remainders when divided by four would cover all possible Hidden Power types and powers.

If so, the number of possible Hidden Powers should be 46=212=64*64=4096. This number, however is again far too large, as the real number of possible variations of Hidden power is simply 16*41=656, as Hidden Power exists in 16 types and has 41 different powers. The significant difference between 656 and 4096 is explained by the function ''floor[]'', which reduces theoretically different numbers (for example 10.952 and 10.476) to the same number (in this case 10).

==Percentage distribution of different variations of Hidden Power==
Due to the fact that both Hidden Power's type and its power are the products of rounding down, chances of getting a Pokémon with certain Hidden Power are not equal, as one might have thought, and are different for every Hidden Power's type and damage value.

As it was stated before, the number of theoretically different Hidden Powers is 4096, which is the result of multiplying theoretical values of possible types (64) and powers (also 64). It means that every of 64 "types" comes into 64 "powers". After rounding down, however, the number of 64 "types" is reduced to 16 and the number of 64 "powers" to 41.

==Trivia==
* Although Hidden Power is listed as a Normal-type move, somewhat ironically it is impossible to get a Normal-type Hidden Power. However, the reasoning behind this is due to the statistical impossibility of it.

==External links==

Since Base Power = 60 + (20 × (No. of stat increases - No. of stat decreases)), what would happen if the foe had 3 or more stat decreases? The math says the Base Power would be 0, -20, etc, but does the game do something to prevent that, and if not, what does a negative base power do?

'''Camouflage''' (Japanese: '''ほごしょく''' ''Camouflage'') is a non-damaging {{type2|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation III]].

==Effect==
Camouflage changes the Pokémon's type to a type corresponding to the battlefield terrain.
* If Camouflage is used on [[tall grass|grasslands]] or water [[puddles]], the user becomes a {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon.
* If Camouflage is used on sand or marsh, the user becomes a {{type2|Ground}} Pokémon.
* If Camouflage is used on rocky surfaces and caves, the user becomes a {{type2|Rock}} Pokémon.
* If Camouflage is used {{m|Surf|on}} or {{m|Dive|under}} water, the user becomes a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.
* If Camouflage is used on snowy fields or [[Ice tile|ice]], the user becomes an {{type2|Ice}} Pokémon.
* If Camouflage is used on a plain terrain or a building floor, the user becomes a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.

In contests, the appeal points earned depends on the appeal points earned by the preceding Pokémon. If it was three or below, the user gets double the appeal points. However, if it was greater than three, the user receives no appeal points.

==Trivia==
*{{P|Kecleon}} is able to blend in with its surroundings with its ability {{a|Color Change}}. However, it is unable to learn Camouflage. This is possibly because Color Change would likely change Kecleon's type just after it had used Camouflage.

This may just be a problem with my used Crystal game I bought, but the time only passes while the game is on. My Silver version time is the same as real world time. Is it supposed to be like this in Crystal? If, so, it is probably worth mentioning

== Evolution times ==

Listings for evolutions use the terms "Day" and "Night" and link to this page, but those terms are used in a different context to the more common times of day this article deals with, leading to the incorrect information being given.

While there's a small mention of this with Eevee's evolutions (making it sound like the times given are specific to eevee), hidden in a rather irrelevant paragraph, the rest of the article is rather misleading when looking for an explantion of the terms.

Perhaps the evolutionary times should be put in their own section to make this clearer and less confusing? Would also be good then if the links for evolutions be updated to jump straight to that section. --[[User:Zeal|'''Zeal''']] [[User talk:Zeal|T]] / [[Special:Contributions/Zeal|C]] 09:17, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

== Changing DS Time ==

I remember hearing that in some games that use the DS's internal clock, changing the time on it will postpone all time based functions for 24 hours in the game. Is this also the case in Fourth generation pokémon games, or can one change the time with impunity? [[User:Darien Shields|Darien Shields]] 10:29, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanking you in advance for your comments.--[[User:Beligaronia|Beligaronia]] ([[User talk:Beligaronia|talk]]) 07:32, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

== Displaying the current time in the article ==

It seems to me that the function that's supposed to display the current time and date (e.g. morning, Sunday) for the different generations in the last sentence of the beginning is broken. At the moment, I'm getting "In Generation II games set to UTC time, it is currently on Sunday, while in Generation IV games set to UTC time, it is currently on Sunday.", but I'm pretty sure that's not how it's supposed to work. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to fix it. -- [[User:Socob|Socob]] ( [[User_talk:Socob|Talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Socob|Contribs]] ) 00:32, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

== Changing DS clock ==

I'm not sure if there is a policy against noting hacks / abuses / cheats, but here are some things which might be integrated into this article (Gen IV section):
* Daily events (swarms, Jubilife lottery, vocabulary at Snowpoint, massages (both), berry-giving NPCs (all), Sunyshore ribbon girl, seal store refresh) all reset if the DS clock is set to 23:59 and the hour rolls over while the game is on.
* Nocturnal pokemon can be found during any time of the (our time) day by changing the DS's clock to late (and vice versa)
**Same works for police officers
I have not found a way to manipulate the time for berry growth, though. I don't think they are triggered by the turn of a day. In fact I believe the berry plants die if the DS clock is reset too much.
-- [[User:Pokey|Pokey]] 10:24, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

If you begin a battle in the afternoon, close your DS lid then resume the battle in the evening, will throwing a Dusk Ball be effective? Basically, when throwing a Dusk Ball does it perform a time check directly from the DS's clock or does it rely on what the time was when the battle started?--[[User:Hasfusel|Hasfusel]] 14:06, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

* No, the game will not change time mid-battle. When you start a battle, the time is set then and there and won't change until the battle ends. Afterward the time sets itself to the current time of day. I have only done this in platinum but, it should work the same way for all five games.

== Gen IV Day-change Movie clip ==

I just noticed that the times shown on the Sinnoh Time-Of-Day movie clip are not consistent with the times stated above. In the clip one of the time lapses shows "8:00 am - 11:59 am" for one of the transitions. But in the segment under Generation II it says that Morning turns to day at 10:00 am. So either there is no transition between Morning and day or someone goofed. What do you guys think? [[User:Professor|Prof. Sternberg]] 00:42, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

* Daily events (swarms, Jubilife lottery, vocabulary at Snowpoint, massages (both), berry-giving NPCs (all), Sunyshore ribbon girl, seal store refresh) all reset if the DS clock is set to 23:59 and the hour rolls over while the game is on.
* Nocturnal pokemon can be found during any time of the (our time) day by changing the DS's clock to late (and vice versa)
**Same works for police officers
I have not found a way to manipulate the time for berry growth, though. I don't think they are triggered by the turn of a day. In fact I believe the berry plants die if the DS clock is reset too much.

If you begin a battle in the afternoon, close your DS lid then resume the battle in the evening, will throwing a Dusk Ball be effective? Basically, when throwing a Dusk Ball does it perform a time check directly from the DS's clock or does it rely on what the time was when the battle started?--[[User:Hasfusel|Hasfusel]] 14:06, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

* No, the game will not change time mid-battle. When you start a battle, the time is set then and there and won't change until the battle ends. Afterward the time sets itself to the current time of day. I have only done this in platinum but, it should work the same way for all five games.

== Gen IV Day-change Movie clip ==

I just noticed that the times shown on the Sinnoh Time-Of-Day movie clip are not consistent with the times stated above. In the clip one of the time lapses shows "8:00 am - 11:59 am" for one of the transitions. But in the segment under Generation II it says that Morning turns to day at 10:00 am. So either there is no transition between Morning and day of someone goofed. What do you guys think? [[User:Professor|Prof. Sternberg]] 00:41, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

This may just be a problem with my used Crystal game I bought, but the time only passes while the game is on. My Silver version time is the same as real world time. Is it supposed to be like this in Crystal? If, so, it is probably worth mentioning

What in-game time is it when you staart playing [[platinum]]?

== Evolution times ==

Listings for evolutions use the terms "Day" and "Night" and link to this page, but those terms are used in a different context to the more common times of day this article deals with, leading to the incorrect information being given.

While there's a small mention of this with Eevee's evolutions (making it sound like the times given are specific to eevee), hidden in a rather irrelevant paragraph, the rest of the article is rather misleading when looking for an explantion of the terms.

Perhaps the evolutionary times should be put in their own section to make this clearer and less confusing? Would also be good then if the links for evolutions be updated to jump straight to that section. --[[User:Zeal|'''Zeal''']] [[User talk:Zeal|T]] / [[Special:Contributions/Zeal|C]] 09:17, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

== Regarding times at which pokemon can be found in the wild ==

I've seen some pages relating to specific pokemon and they don't have information about what time they can be caught in the wild. Wouldn't that be useful? I didn't know where else to bring up this issue so yeah ^^. --[[User talk:Qwertyasdf|([[User talk:Qwertyasdf|(QQ)∞wertyasdf]] 10:08, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

== Daisy Oak in Gen. 3 ==

If there's no internal clock in FR/LG what determines when Daisy will next give a grooming? [[User:Smythe|Smythe]] 05:01, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

:Never mind. It seems the game uses a step counter. [[User:Smythe|Smythe]] 19:08, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

== Changing DS Time ==

I remember hearing that in some games that use the DS's internal clock, changing the time on it will postpone all time based functions for 24 hours in the game. Is this also the case in Fourth generation pokémon games, or can one change the time with impunity? [[User:Darien Shields|Darien Shields]] 10:29, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
:Nope, that's how it is. You can't change the time without consequences. Although I don't know if that applies if you use your game with a different DS with different time settings... --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 12:29, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

== Making a new setion for "Time specific events" ==

Would anyone object to me adding the contents of my [[User:Beligaronia/Sandbox|Sandbox]] into this article? This deals with events that occur at specific times but not on specific days and are therefore missed off the days of the week article. I would plan to add this to the bottom of the page below Generation IV. If you do object please elaborate (either to say the whole concept is pointless or that it needs to be improved before it could be added). Thanking you in advance for your comments.--[[User:Beligaronia|Beligaronia]] ([[User talk:Beligaronia|talk]]) 07:32, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

If anyone can comfirm otherwise, feel free to change it and the other page. --[[User:Oatzy|Oatzy]] 20:16, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

:: Oops. Yeah, the second was supposed to be both AM (6am to 10am).--[[User:Oatzy|Oatzy]] 22:14, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

== Displaying the current time in the article ==

It seems to me that the function that's supposed to display the current time and date (e.g. morning, Sunday) for the different generations in the last sentence of the beginning is broken. At the moment, I'm getting "In Generation II games set to UTC time, it is currently on Sunday, while in Generation IV games set to UTC time, it is currently on Sunday.", but I'm pretty sure that's not how it's supposed to work. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to fix it. -- [[User:Socob|Socob]] ( [[User_talk:Socob|Talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Socob|Contribs]] ) 00:32, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

'''Burmy''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミノムッチ''' ''Minomutchi'') is a {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon.

Burmy's [[evolution]]s are [[gender]] dependent: female Burmy evolve into {{p|Wormadam}} and male Burmy evolve into {{p|Mothim}}, both starting at [[level]] 20.

It changes its cloak based on the location where it last battled. It will be the Plant Cloak if it last battled outside or in tall grass, the Sandy Cloak if it last battled in a cave, on a beach, or faced a Pokémon from a Honey tree, and the Trash Cloak if it last battled in a building. In the wild it is always the Plant Cloak variation. Its cloak only affects what its second type will be if it evolves into {{p|Wormadam}}; it otherwise does not affect gameplay.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
[[File:Burmy no cloak.png|thumb|left|Burmy without any Cloak on as seen in the anime]]
[[File:Burmy Manga.jpg|thumb|right|Burmy without any Cloak on as seen in the manga]]
Burmy has a black segmented body with a coil-like appendage on the top its head. It has a beak-like mouth and yellow eyes. Burmy has six stubby legs (the first two pairs are black, while the back pair is yellow). Burmy's body is normally covered by a coat of leaves, sand, or pink building insulation.
====Gender differences====
A female Burmy evolves into a {{p|Wormadam}} while a male Burmy evolves into {{p|Mothim}}. There are no visual differences between male and female Burmy.

====Special abilities====
Even if it is born where there are no cocooning materials, it somehow always ends up with a cloak. If a Burmy is female, when it evolves the materials used to compose its cloak become a permanent fixture on its body, and give it varying types and movesets depending on which material was used.

===Behavior===
It usually hangs from trees, wearing a cloak made out of leaves and small twigs to protect itself from the cold. It will not hesitate to collect nearby materials to construct a new cloak if the old one breaks or falls off.

===Habitat===
Like most Bug-types, it is found mostly in forested areas, particularly trees. However, it'll make itself at home in rocky places or even in urban environments if it gets the opportunity.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
It probably feeds on the tree sap that it camouflages in. This makes it easy to attract with [[Honey]].

==In the anime==
[[Image:Burmy-anime.jpg|thumb|Burmy in the anime]]
Burmy has had cameos in the Japanese opening [[Together]] and in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation]]'' where {{an|Dawn}} tried and failed to catch one.

Burmy also starred in ''[[DP030|Some Enchanted Sweetening]]'', the episode [[Cheryl]] made her debut. She caught a wild Burmy that was lured to the Honey she put on a tree. After battles with Team Rocket, the Burmy evolved into a {{TP|Cheryl|Mothim}}.

A group of Burmy also appeared in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Sinnoh}}
{{Animedexbody|DP002|Burmy|Dawn's Pokédex|Burmy, the Bag Worm Pokémon. To {{m|protect}} itself from the cold wind, Burmy uses leaves and branches to make a cloak around itself.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Diamond & Pearl''|Sinnoh}}

==In the manga==
[[Platinum]]'s intended bodyguard [[Phool]] is seen using a Burmy alongside [[Ignor]]'s {{p|Buizel}}, fending off an attack from an {{p|Abra}} and {{p|Croagunk}} belonging to [[Team Galactic]].

==In the TCG==

==Trivia==
* Burmy is one of four Pokémon whose evolution is based on gender (the other three being {{p|Combee}} into {{p|Vespiquen}}, {{p|Kirlia}} into {{p|Gallade}}, and {{p|Snorunt}} into {{p|Froslass}}). However, both of its genders have a specific evolution linked to them, unlike the other three.
* Burmy and {{p|Wormadam}} share the same [[species]] name with {{p|Pineco}} and {{p|Forretress}}. They are all known as Bagworm Pokémon.
* Along with {{p|Wurmple}} and {{p|Clamperl}}, it is one of the only Pokémon whose multiple evolutionary paths are all Pokémon of the same generation as it is.
* Burmy's coat does not change if leveled up with an {{DL|Experience-affecting item|Exp. Share}}, making this a viable option for keeping a wanted cloak to evolution.
* In ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'' Burmy was shown temporarily without its cloak.
* Burmy's evolutionary family is one of the most complex, with two factors deciding its evolutionary event: its gender and its appearance.
* If Wormadam's three forms are considered different Pokémon (internally, by the games, they are considered to be), Burmy is one of three Pokémon able to evolve into more than two species, the others being {{p|Eevee}} and {{p|Tyrogue}}.
===Origin===
Burmy is based on a bagworm pupa, which will metamorphose into a moth if male, or remain a pupa-like creature if female.
====Name origin====
Burmy's name may be a combinaton of "bag" and "wormy". Burmy's Japanese name may be based on 蓑虫 ''minomushi'', the Japanese name for the {{wp|bagworm}}.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Burmy
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Cheniti - From ''chenille'' (caterpillar) and ''petit'' (small).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 도롱충이 ''Dorongchung'i''

Fashion Case

Professor:

[[Image:Fashion Case sprite.png|thumb|right]]

The '''Fashion Case''' (Japanese: '''アクセサリーいれ''' ''Accessory Container'') is a [[key item]] in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} as well as {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver}} which holds [[accessory|accessories]] and [[backdrop]]s.

It can be picked up in [[Jubilife City]] after double battling with {{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}}, with one backdrop and a few accessories to start with. In the case of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver}}, {{ga|Ethan}}/{{ga|Lyra}} will give it to the player when first entering the [[Goldenrod Tunnel]].

Extra Accessories and Backdrops can be picked up by Pokémon in [[Amity Square]] or won in the Pokémon Lottery or a [[Super Contest]]. Accessories may also be found by the Massage Lady in [[Veilstone City]] or traded from berries at the [[Pick a Peck of Colors Flower Shop]] in [[Floaroma Town]]. There is also a lady in the [[Pal Park]] building who will give the player certain accessories or backgrounds if certain Pokémon GBA games are in the DS's GBA slot. There are several different sections: The fluffs section, the mineral/rock section, the scales section, the feather section, the leaf/beard section, the silver section, the element section, the metal section, the other section, the contest prize section, and the head accessories section. There are fifteen backdrops to collect.

For a list of the accesories that may be obtained, see [[Accessories]]

Hi! I'm rather new to Bulbapedia, but I want to do what i can to help. I have some ideas on Project Locations that I have already shared with the Project Leader.

By the way, can anyone tell me where I can learn about editing the pages? I mean I have checked the [[Manual of style]] but I can't find any thing about the boxes on the side of the screen on user pages or any thing like that.

==My Qualifications==

*I can scrutinize even the most well written Arcticles (Don't worry. I don't consider this as my defining feature ) ;)
*I speak Spanish
*I have a pretty expansive knowledge of writting Java programs
*I am in love with the Pokémon Universe

==Contacts==

I can be contacted at my E-mail Address:
:stefanSternberg@gmail.com

If anyone contacts me, it would be prefeable that one puts the phrase "Concerning Bulbapedia" in the letter before the "Dear Professor," part in the E-mail. This is just a simple formality to help me separate my E-mails into groups.
