Professor DJM:

In Marill and Azumarill, the tail is said to be filled with an oily substance, while Azurill's page says that its filled with a nutritional substance. Is this the same oil? Does it feed off of it or even produce it naturally? -[[User:Professor DJM|Professor DJM]]

Professor DJM:

Why does Pokémon Emerald reference it as the 'Gangster of the Sea' if, as every older fan knows, Tentacreul was also deemed the 'Gangster of the Sea' a long time ago in the pokédex and in the episode ''Tentacool and Tentacreul''? Is Sharpedo more mischevious or more feared now? (I predict a challenge.) -[[User:Professor DJM|Professor DJM]]

'''Corphish''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: ヘイガニ ''Heigani'') is a {{t|Water}}-type Pokémon.

=Pokédex entries=
; [[Pokémon Ruby]]
: Corphish were originally foreign Pokémon that were imported as pets. They eventually turned up in the wild. This Pokémon is very hardy and has greatly increased its population.
; [[Pokémon Sapphire]]
: Corphish catches prey with its sharp claws. It has no likes or dislikes when it comes to food - it will eat anything. This Pokémon has no trouble living in filthy water.
; [[Pokémon Emerald]]
: Once it grips prey with its large pincers, it will never let go, no matter what. It is a hardy Pokémon that can thrive in any environment.
; [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]]
: It came from overseas. It is a very hardy creature that will quickly proliferate, even in polluted streams.

=Name origin=
Corphish's name is possibly a pun on ''[[wp:crayfish|crayfish]]''.

Alternatively, it could be a homonymic play on the arcane Newfoundland fishing term ''corfish''; the meaning of "corfish" is not clear. According to "West to Pemaquid,"[http://members.skyweb.net/~channy/Westto.html], corfish were a "kind of dried fish," specifically, "a green variety." It goes on to say that the other kind of dried fish was called "dunfish," which we can ascertain from the 1913 Webster means "''codfish cured in a particular manner, so as to be of a superior quality.''" We can assume from this that "corfish" is thus probably a type of preserved, dried codfish, and, according to ''West to Pemaquid'', lower quality than dunfish (''corfish ... was suitable for sale ... as slave food ...''). "Colony of Avalon,"[http://www.heritage.nf.ca/avalon/history/documents/letter_48.html] further asserts corfish to mean "wet-cured fish" (to ''cure'' being to preserve using salts or smoke). ''Corfish'' is mostly obsolete, but is still sometimes used, and can especially be found in old English; for example, see page 279 of ''Captain John Smith: A Select Edition of His Writings'' or ''New England Before the Pilgrim Fathers Landed''[http://www.gutenberg.org/files/16038/16038-h/16038-h.htm]: "Of dry fish we made about 40000. of Cor fish about 7000," and "With these Furres, the Traine, and Corfish I returned for England in the Bark ..." (1614). The ''Dictionary of Newfoundland English'' defines "corfish," but it is not widely available.

Old English also used the forms "cor fish" and "cor-fish." Other references to corfish in archaic documents, particularily those authored by Captain John Smith, which provides clues to its meaning are as follows:
*"''where they take nothing but small Cod, where of the greatest they make Cor-fish, and the rest is hard dried, which we call Poore-John, would amaze a man with wonder.''[http://webroots.org/library/usahist/ghov2-01.html]
*:"''Newfoundland doth yearly freight near eight hundred sail of ships with a silly, lean, skinny poor-john, and cor fish ...''"[http://www.heritage.nf.ca/avalon/history/documents/letter_62.html]

Its Japanese name is based on 平家蟹 ''heikegani'', [[wp:Heike crab|Heike crab]].

Corphish first appeared in [[AG023]]. [[Ash Ketchum]] battled and captured this Ruffian Pokémon at the end of the episode. [[Ash's Corphish]] serves as the main comedy relief member of Ash's team and the only Pokémon that Ash captured in [[Hoenn]] that hasn't evolved, save for his {{p|Torkoal}} (which doesn't have an evolved form).

'''Baltoy''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: ヤジロン ''Yajilon'') is a {{t|Ground}}/{{t|Psychic}}-type Pokémon.

=Pokédex entries=
; [[Pokémon Ruby]]
: Baltoy moves while spinning around on its one foot. Primitive wall paintings depicting this Pokémon living among people were discovered in some ancient ruins.
; [[Pokémon Sapphire]]
: As soon as it spots others of its kind, Baltoy congregates with them and then begins crying noisily in unison. This Pokémon sleeps while cleverly balancing itself on its one foot.
; [[Pokémon Emerald]]
: A Baltoy moves by spinning on its single foot. It has been depicted in murals adorning the walls of a once-bustling city in an ancient age.
; [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]]
: It was discovered in ancient ruins. While moving, it constantly spins. It stands on one foot even when asleep.

=Name origin=
Baltoy's name appears to be a portmanteau of ''balance'' and ''toy''. ''Yajilon'' is an abbreviation of 弥次郎兵衛 ''yajirobe'e'', balancing toy. Baltoy's German name is derived from the English word ''puppet''.

Its design is similar to the 遮光器土偶 ''shakōkidogū'' - a "spaceman" clay figurine from the [[wp:Jomon|Jōmon period]] of Japanese history.

In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], Baltoy knows {{m|Shadow Blitz}} and {{m|Shadow Mist}} as a [[Shadow Pokémon]], and learns {{m|Refresh}} after being [[Purification|purified]].

=In the anime=
Baltoy first appeared in [[AG076]], under the ownership of a girl named Calista.

In [[AG099]], [[Tate and Liza]] were using Baltoy's {{M|Confusion}} to recreate weightlessness during a Pokémon Battle, even though their main Pokémon arleady possess the ability to float in mid-air. Later in that same episode, these Clay Doll Pokémon stopped [[Team Rocket]] from stealing the rocketship.

'''Charizard''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: リザードン ''Lizardon'') is a {{t|Fire}}/{{t|Flying}}-type Pokémon.

Charizard comes with the [[Abilities|Ability]] Blaze, which increases the power of Fire-type attacks by 50% once the Pokémon has less than one-third of its maximum HP.

Charizard evolves from Charmeleon starting at Level 36.

=Biology=
==Physiology==
Unlike its pre-evolution cousins, it has powerful wings that can allow it to fly at blinding speeds, although the faster it flies, the more strain is put on the pokémon, and it must rest for a good while after doing so. It is also more vulnerable to attacks the more outspread its wings are, so its newfound flying ability should be treated with as much care as a flying pokémon. It has a considerably higher defense than its cousins, though as noted before caution should be used about its wings,which have little defense. Its physical strength now matches the strength of its fire attacks, and it can withstand mid-high altitude pressure, allowing it to fly above mountains, and can even withstand the high pressure and extreme heat of volcanoes. Its a very powerful pokémon to own, but you have to make sure it likes and obeys you before it evolves, or it can ignore or even attack its trainer. Its Rage atttack is nigh unstoppable.

; [[Pokémon Yellow]]
: When expelling a blast of super hot fire, the red flame at the tip of its tail burns more intensely.
; [[Pokémon Stadium]]
: Its fiery breath reaches incredible temperatures. It can quickly melt glaciers weighing 10,000 tons.
; [[Pokémon Gold]] / [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]
: If Charizard becomes furious, the flame at the tip of its tail flares up in a whitish-blue color.
; [[Pokémon Silver]]
: Breathing intense, hot flames, it can melt almost anything. Its breath inflicts terrible pain on enemies.
; [[Pokémon Crystal]]
: It uses its wings to [[Fly (move)|fly]] high. The temperature of its fire increases as it gains experience in battle.
; [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire]]
: Charizard [[Fly (move)|flies]] around the sky in search of powerful opponents. It breathes fire of such great heat that it melts anything. However, it never turns its fiery breath on any opponent weaker than itself.
; [[Pokémon Emerald]]
: A Charizard flies about in search of strong opponents. It breathes intense flames that can melt any material. However, it will never torch a weaker foe.
; [[Pokémon FireRed]]
: Its wings can carry this Pokémon close to an altitude of 4,600 feet. It blows out fire at very high temperatures.
; [[Pokémon LeafGreen]]
: It spits fire that is hot enough to melt boulders. It may cause forest fires by blowing flames.

=Name origin=
Charizard's name is a combination of the words ''char'', to burn, and ''lizard''. ''Lizardon'', on the other hand, is a corruption of ''lizard''.

Charizard resembles the [[wp:European dragon|European dragon]], which had many forms in the legends that described it. Although it is a {{t|Fire}}-type [[Pokémon]], it can learn {{t|Dragon}}-type attacks.

[[Ash Ketchum]] has a [[Ash's Charizard|Charizard]] that he obtained as a Charmander in ''[[EP011|Charmander the Stray Pokémon]]''. It evolved into Charmeleon in ''[[EP043|March of the Exeggutor Squad]]'' and quickly evolved again into Charizard in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''. From the time of its becoming Charmeleon to the [[Orange Islands]] episode ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'', Charizard refused to obey Ash. After ''Charizard Chills'', however, it became one of Ash's strongest Pokémon, perhaps even stronger than [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]].

When [[James]] was in the Pokémon League Entrance Exam, he used a Charizard that he eventually tried to steal in [[EP056]].

In [[EP134]], Ash left his Charizard in the Charicific Valley with Lisa.

'''Charizard''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: リザードン ''Lizardon'') is a {{t|Fire}}/{{t|Flying}}-type Pokémon.

Charizard comes with the [[Abilities|Ability]] Blaze, which increases the power of Fire-type attacks by 50% once the Pokémon has less than one-third of its maximum HP.

Charizard evolves from Charmeleon starting at Level 36.

=Biology=
==Physiology==
Unlike its pre-evolution cousins, it has powerful wings that can allow it to fly at blinding speeds, although the faster it flies, the more strain is put on the pokémon, and it must rest for a good while after doing so. It is also more vulnerable to attacks the more outspread its wings are, so its newfound flying ability should be treated with as much care as a flying pokémon. It has a considerably higher defense than its cousins, though as noted before caution should be used about its wings,which have little defense. Its physical strength now matches the strength of its fire attacks, and it can withstand mid-high altitude pressure, allowing it to fly above small mountains, and can even withstand the high pressure and extreme heat of volcanoes. Its a very powerful pokémon to own, but you have to make sure it likes and obeys you before it evolves, or it can ignore or even attack its trainer. Its Rage atttack is nigh unstoppable.

=Name origin=
Charizard's name is a combination of the words ''char'', to burn, and ''lizard''. ''Lizardon'', on the other hand, is a corruption of ''lizard''.

Charizard resembles the [[wp:European dragon|European dragon]], which had many forms in the legends that described it. Although it is a {{t|Fire}}-type [[Pokémon]], it can learn {{t|Dragon}}-type attacks.

[[Ash Ketchum]] has a [[Ash's Charizard|Charizard]] that he obtained as a Charmander in ''[[EP011|Charmander the Stray Pokémon]]''. It evolved into Charmeleon in ''[[EP043|March of the Exeggutor Squad]]'' and quickly evolved again into Charizard in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''. From the time of its becoming Charmeleon to the [[Orange Islands]] episode ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'', Charizard refused to obey Ash. After ''Charizard Chills'', however, it became one of Ash's strongest Pokémon, perhaps even stronger than [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]].

When [[James]] was in the Pokémon League Entrance Exam, he used a Charizard that he eventually tried to steal in [[EP056]].

In [[EP134]], Ash left his Charizard in the Charicific Valley with Lisa.

A Charizard was used by Team Rocket in [[EP248]] in an elaborate plan to capture Pikachu. It was up against Ash's [[Totodile]].

'''Venusaur''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: フシギバナ ''Fushigibana'') is a {{t|Grass}}/{{t|Poison}}-type Pokémon.

Venusaur comes with the [[Abilities|Ability]] Overgrow, which increases the power of Grass-type attacks by 50% once the Pokémon has less than one-third of its maximum HP.

Venusaur evolves from {{p|Ivysaur}} starting at Level 32.

=Biology=
==Physiology==
They are considerably larger and heavier than both of its pre-evolution cousins, and as such it moves slower than the two. However, its special attacks are faster than ever, as the plant on its back has now reached its final stage and flowered. It is also able to charge at its enemies to gain speed, then perform moves such as Skull Bash and Body Slam with a force more powerful than a speeding armored truck. It also has an incredible leap for such a heavy pokémon, and its able to dodge attacks and jump across close rock formations. Its only downside is that its weight causes a small quake as it lands, which can break the platform its trying to land on, or cause it to get buried in mud or sand.

===Special abilities===
==Behavior==
Rarely in the wild, Venusaur usually lead the evolution rituals every year, away from human eyes. They are very rare in the wild, and a trainer needs to be well-experienced when around Venusaur.

They still have a loyalty streak, though this isn't much seen, since most Venusaur act as the trainer's bodyguard and is rarely abandoned, if ever. For some unknown reason, possibly of age, Venusaur are very solitary, even after being caught.

==Habitat==
==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

=Pokédex entries=
; [[Pokémon Red and Blue]] / [[Pokémon LeafGreen]]
: The plant blooms when it is absorbing solar energy. It stays on the move to seek sunlight.
; [[Pokémon Yellow]]
: The flower on its back catches the sun's rays. The sunlight is then absorbed and used for energy.
; [[Pokémon Stadium]]
: Absorbs solar energy as nutrition. When it is catching the sun's rays, it often remains quiet and still.
; [[Pokémon Gold]] / [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]
: By spreading the broad petals of its flower and catching the sun's rays, it fills its body with power.
; [[Pokémon Silver]]
: It is able to convert sunlight into energy. As a result, it is more powerful in the summertime.
; [[Pokémon Crystal]]
: As it warms itself and absorbs the sunlight, its flower petals release a pleasant fragrance.
; [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire]]
: There is a large flower on Venusaur's back. The flower is said to take on vivid colors if it gets plenty of nutrition and sunlight. The flower's aroma soothes the emotions of people.
; [[Pokémon Emerald]]
: Venusaur's flower is said to take on vivid colors if it gets plenty of nutrition and sunlight. The flower's aroma soothes the emotions of people.
; [[Pokémon FireRed]]
: A bewitching aroma wafts from its flower. The fragrance becalms those engaged in a battle.

=Name origin=
Venusaur's name is a combination of the words ''venus'' and ''saur'', which is [[wp:Greek language|Greek]] for ''lizard''. Its Japanese name is a pun on 不思議な花 ''fushigi na hana'', strange flower. The French name comes from a combination of ''floral'' and ''bizzare''. Its German name derives from ''Bisamratte'' (musk rat) and ''Flora''.

Although the flower on Venusaur's back does not look like a [[wp:Venus Flytrap|Venus Flytrap]], this [[Pokémon]] does rememble the dinosaurs of the [[wp:Triassic period|Triassic period]], as do its pre-evolutions {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Ivysaur}}.

'''Venusaur''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: フシギバナ ''Fushigibana'') is a {{t|Grass}}/{{t|Poison}}-type Pokémon.

Venusaur comes with the [[Abilities|Ability]] Overgrow, which increases the power of Grass-type attacks by 50% once the Pokémon has less than one-third of its maximum HP.

Venusaur evolves from {{p|Ivysaur}} starting at Level 32.

=Biology=
They are considerably larger and heavier than both of its pre-evolution cousins, and as such it moves slower than the two. However, its special attacks are faster than ever, as the plant on its back has now reached its final stage and flowered. It is also able to charge at its enemies to gain speed, then perform moves such as Skull Bash and Body Slam with a force more powerful than a speeding armored truck. It also has an incredible leap for such a heavy pokémon, and its able to dodge attacks and jump across close rock formations. Its only downside is that its weight causes a small quake as it lands, which can break the platform its trying to land on, or cause it to get buried in mud or sand.

==Physiology==
===Special abilities===
==Behavior==
Rarely in the wild, Venusaur usually lead the evolution rituals every year, away from human eyes. They are very rare in the wild, and a trainer needs to be well-experienced when around Venusaur.

They still have a loyalty streak, though this isn't much seen, since most Venusaur act as the trainer's bodyguard and is rarely abandoned, if ever. For some unknown reason, possibly of age, Venusaur are very solitary, even after being caught.

==Habitat==
==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

=Pokédex entries=
; [[Pokémon Red and Blue]] / [[Pokémon LeafGreen]]
: The plant blooms when it is absorbing solar energy. It stays on the move to seek sunlight.
; [[Pokémon Yellow]]
: The flower on its back catches the sun's rays. The sunlight is then absorbed and used for energy.
; [[Pokémon Stadium]]
: Absorbs solar energy as nutrition. When it is catching the sun's rays, it often remains quiet and still.
; [[Pokémon Gold]] / [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]
: By spreading the broad petals of its flower and catching the sun's rays, it fills its body with power.
; [[Pokémon Silver]]
: It is able to convert sunlight into energy. As a result, it is more powerful in the summertime.
; [[Pokémon Crystal]]
: As it warms itself and absorbs the sunlight, its flower petals release a pleasant fragrance.
; [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire]]
: There is a large flower on Venusaur's back. The flower is said to take on vivid colors if it gets plenty of nutrition and sunlight. The flower's aroma soothes the emotions of people.
; [[Pokémon Emerald]]
: Venusaur's flower is said to take on vivid colors if it gets plenty of nutrition and sunlight. The flower's aroma soothes the emotions of people.
; [[Pokémon FireRed]]
: A bewitching aroma wafts from its flower. The fragrance becalms those engaged in a battle.

=Name origin=
Venusaur's name is a combination of the words ''venus'' and ''saur'', which is [[wp:Greek language|Greek]] for ''lizard''. Its Japanese name is a pun on 不思議な花 ''fushigi na hana'', strange flower. The French name comes from a combination of ''floral'' and ''bizzare''. Its German name derives from ''Bisamratte'' (musk rat) and ''Flora''.

Although the flower on Venusaur's back does not look like a [[wp:Venus Flytrap|Venus Flytrap]], this [[Pokémon]] does rememble the dinosaurs of the [[wp:Triassic period|Triassic period]], as do its pre-evolutions {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Ivysaur}}.
