{{TypeNotice|Rock|いわ|Iwa}}
Notable trainers that specialize in the Rock-type include [[Brock]] of [[Pewter City]], [[Roxanne]] of [[Rustboro City]] and [[Roark]] of [[Oreburgh City]]. They are, notably, all the first [[Gym Leader]] encountered in their respective regions.

==Statistical averages==

{{BaseStats|
HP=63 |

==Battle properties==
Rock-type moves:
*Are super-effective against: {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Ice}}
*Are not very effective against: {{t|Fighting}}, {{t|Ground}}, {{t|Steel}}
* Have no effect against: None
Rock-type Pokémon:
*Resist: {{t|Normal}}, {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Poison}}
*Are weak to: {{t|Fighting}}, {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Ground}}, {{t|Steel}}, {{t|Water}}
*Have immunity to: None

==Characteristics==
Defensively, the Rock-type is outstanding. However, they are weak to five types, two of which are Special-based (until [[Generation IV]]), an area Rock-types are not particularly strong in. On the other hand, they are also strong against four types. Compounding this large number of weaknesses is the fact that many Rock types are dual-types with {{t|Ground}} or {{t|Water}}, giving them a large vulnerability to {{t|Grass}}-type moves. Dual-typed with {{t|Steel}} also gives the Rock type a large disadvantage with {{t|Ground}}, although due to their high defense they will still be highly resistant to most Ground attacks.

=Trivia=
* If there were a hypothetical Pokémon of all 17 types, it would only be weak to Rock-type moves. However it's possible to create more weaknesses by using moves like {{m|Foresight}} to remove immunities.
* There were no Pure Rock Pokémon in the first generation.
* No [[Physical move|physical]] Rock-type move is 100% accurate.
* In the first season of the [[Pokémon anime]] the Rock-type was often wrongly assumed to be unaffected by {{t|Electric}} attacks. This was probably because in the first generation {{p|Rhydon}}, {{p|Golem}} and {{p|Onix}} were both Ground and Rock, and were the most used Rock-types in the first generation so it was easy to mistake the type effectiveness.
* The Rock-type is tied with the {{t|Grass}} type for the largest number of type weaknesses. When not dual-typed with another type, is it weak to {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Water}}, {{t|Ground}}, {{t|Fighting}} and {{t|Steel}}.

Grass (type)

Psyduck: /* Trivia */

{{ElementalTypes}}
{{TypeNotice|Grass|くさ|Kusa}}
So far, there are only two notable Grass-type specialists: [[Erika]] of [[Celadon City]] and [[Gardenia]] of [[Eterna City]].

==Statistical averages==

{{BaseStats|
HP=57 |
Attack=61 |
Defense=63 |
SpAtk=72 |
SpDef=64 |
Speed=57 }}

==Battle properties==
Grass-type moves:
* Are super effective against: {{t|Ground}}, {{t|Rock}}, {{t|Water}}
* Are not very effective against: {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Dragon}}, {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Flying}}, '''Grass''', {{t|Poison}}, {{t|Steel}}
* Have no effect against: None

Grass-type Pokémon:
* Resist: {{t|Electric}}, '''Grass''', {{t|Ground}}, {{t|Water}}
* Are weak to: {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Ice}}, {{t|Poison}}
* Have immunity to: None

==Characteristics==
Defensively, the Grass-type is best at defending against certain {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon, such as {{p|Raikou}} and {{p|Jolteon}}. Many Electric-type Pokémon carry the move Hidden Power, usually of the {{type2|Grass}}, {{type2|Ice}}, or {{type2|Water}}. If the Electric-type doesn't carry an Ice-type move, it may not have any moves that a Grass-type Pokémon isn't resistant to; at the most, the Electric-type can hit with a normal effectiveness move that doesn't benefit from [[same-type attack bonus]], such as Crunch. The Grass-type isn't very good at defending against other Special types; {{type2|Fire}} and Ice-type moves are commonly carried by special attackers, and Grass-types won't be able to switch into a move benefiting from same-type attack bonus and then be able to survive a super effective move.

When defending against Physical moves, the Grass-type has limited value. The Grass-type resists {{type2|Ground}} moves, but has no resistance to {{type2|Rock}} or {{type2|Steel}} moves and is weak to {{type2|Flying}} moves. A Grass-type can, however, utilize a Ground-type move, a powerful super effective Grass-type move, or a move like Sleep Powder to incapacitate the foe.

Offensively, Grass-type moves are limited. They are best at taking down Pokémon like {{p|Swampert}} and {{p|Rhydon}} on which they deal four times normal damage. For this reason, they are good in [[Mt. Moon]] and [[Rock Tunnel]], which are populated by {{p|Geodude}}. However, too many Pokémon resist Grass-type moves to rely on them as a main form of dealing damage, and most Grass-type moves aren't very powerful.

Most Grass-types learn Leech Seed, and many learn Sleep Powder and Stun Spore. This makes Grass-types able to provide support to the rest of a team, and makes Grass-type Pokémon much harder to faint. Grass-types are also the only type with immunity to Leech Seed, which is often a valuable trait.

=Trivia=

* The Grass-type is tied with the {{t|Rock}} type for the largest number of type weaknesses. When not dual-typed with another type, is it weak to {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Ice}}, {{t|Fire}} and {{t|Poison}}.
* Before the second generation was introduced, the only pure Grass Pokémon was [[Tangela (Pokémon)|Tangela]].

Grass (type)

Psyduck: /* Trivia */

{{ElementalTypes}}
{{TypeNotice|Grass|くさ|Kusa}}
So far, there are only two notable Grass-type specialists: [[Erika]] of [[Celadon City]] and [[Gardenia]] of [[Eterna City]].

==Statistical averages==

{{BaseStats|
HP=57 |
Attack=61 |
Defense=63 |
SpAtk=72 |
SpDef=64 |
Speed=57 }}

==Battle properties==
Grass-type moves:
* Are super effective against: {{t|Ground}}, {{t|Rock}}, {{t|Water}}
* Are not very effective against: {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Dragon}}, {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Flying}}, '''Grass''', {{t|Poison}}, {{t|Steel}}
* Have no effect against: None

Grass-type Pokémon:
* Resist: {{t|Electric}}, '''Grass''', {{t|Ground}}, {{t|Water}}
* Are weak to: {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Ice}}, {{t|Poison}}
* Have immunity to: None

==Characteristics==
Defensively, the Grass-type is best at defending against certain {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon, such as {{p|Raikou}} and {{p|Jolteon}}. Many Electric-type Pokémon carry the move Hidden Power, usually of the {{type2|Grass}}, {{type2|Ice}}, or {{type2|Water}}. If the Electric-type doesn't carry an Ice-type move, it may not have any moves that a Grass-type Pokémon isn't resistant to; at the most, the Electric-type can hit with a normal effectiveness move that doesn't benefit from [[same-type attack bonus]], such as Crunch. The Grass-type isn't very good at defending against other Special types; {{type2|Fire}} and Ice-type moves are commonly carried by special attackers, and Grass-types won't be able to switch into a move benefiting from same-type attack bonus and then be able to survive a super effective move.

When defending against Physical moves, the Grass-type has limited value. The Grass-type resists {{type2|Ground}} moves, but has no resistance to {{type2|Rock}} or {{type2|Steel}} moves and is weak to {{type2|Flying}} moves. A Grass-type can, however, utilize a Ground-type move, a powerful super effective Grass-type move, or a move like Sleep Powder to incapacitate the foe.

Offensively, Grass-type moves are limited. They are best at taking down Pokémon like {{p|Swampert}} and {{p|Rhydon}} on which they deal four times normal damage. For this reason, they are good in [[Mt. Moon]] and [[Rock Tunnel]], which are populated by {{p|Geodude}}. However, too many Pokémon resist Grass-type moves to rely on them as a main form of dealing damage, and most Grass-type moves aren't very powerful.

Most Grass-types learn Leech Seed, and many learn Sleep Powder and Stun Spore. This makes Grass-types able to provide support to the rest of a team, and makes Grass-type Pokémon much harder to faint. Grass-types are also the only type with immunity to Leech Seed, which is often a valuable trait.

=Trivia=

* The Grass-type is tied with the {{t|Rock}} type for the largest number of type weaknesses. When not dual-typed with another type, is it weak to {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Ice}}, {{t|Fire}} and {{t|Poison}}.
* Before the second generation was introduced, the only pure Grass Pokémon was [[Tangla (Pokémon)|Tangela]].

Grass (type)

Psyduck: /* Trivia */

{{ElementalTypes}}
{{TypeNotice|Grass|くさ|Kusa}}
So far, there are only two notable Grass-type specialists: [[Erika]] of [[Celadon City]] and [[Gardenia]] of [[Eterna City]].

==Statistical averages==

{{BaseStats|
HP=57 |
Attack=61 |
Defense=63 |
SpAtk=72 |
SpDef=64 |
Speed=57 }}

==Battle properties==
Grass-type moves:
* Are super effective against: {{t|Ground}}, {{t|Rock}}, {{t|Water}}
* Are not very effective against: {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Dragon}}, {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Flying}}, '''Grass''', {{t|Poison}}, {{t|Steel}}
* Have no effect against: None

Grass-type Pokémon:
* Resist: {{t|Electric}}, '''Grass''', {{t|Ground}}, {{t|Water}}
* Are weak to: {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Ice}}, {{t|Poison}}
* Have immunity to: None

==Characteristics==
Defensively, the Grass-type is best at defending against certain {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon, such as {{p|Raikou}} and {{p|Jolteon}}. Many Electric-type Pokémon carry the move Hidden Power, usually of the {{type2|Grass}}, {{type2|Ice}}, or {{type2|Water}}. If the Electric-type doesn't carry an Ice-type move, it may not have any moves that a Grass-type Pokémon isn't resistant to; at the most, the Electric-type can hit with a normal effectiveness move that doesn't benefit from [[same-type attack bonus]], such as Crunch. The Grass-type isn't very good at defending against other Special types; {{type2|Fire}} and Ice-type moves are commonly carried by special attackers, and Grass-types won't be able to switch into a move benefiting from same-type attack bonus and then be able to survive a super effective move.

When defending against Physical moves, the Grass-type has limited value. The Grass-type resists {{type2|Ground}} moves, but has no resistance to {{type2|Rock}} or {{type2|Steel}} moves and is weak to {{type2|Flying}} moves. A Grass-type can, however, utilize a Ground-type move, a powerful super effective Grass-type move, or a move like Sleep Powder to incapacitate the foe.

Offensively, Grass-type moves are limited. They are best at taking down Pokémon like {{p|Swampert}} and {{p|Rhydon}} on which they deal four times normal damage. For this reason, they are good in [[Mt. Moon]] and [[Rock Tunnel]], which are populated by {{p|Geodude}}. However, too many Pokémon resist Grass-type moves to rely on them as a main form of dealing damage, and most Grass-type moves aren't very powerful.

Most Grass-types learn Leech Seed, and many learn Sleep Powder and Stun Spore. This makes Grass-types able to provide support to the rest of a team, and makes Grass-type Pokémon much harder to faint. Grass-types are also the only type with immunity to Leech Seed, which is often a valuable trait.

=Trivia=

* The Grass-type is tied with the {{t|Rock}} type for the largest number of type weaknesses. When not dual-typed with another type, is it weak to {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Ice}}, {{t|Fire}} and {{t|Poison}}.
* Before the second generation was introduced, the only pure Grass Pokémon was [[Tangla (Pokémon)|Tangela)]].

Grass (type)

Psyduck: /* Trivia */

{{ElementalTypes}}
{{TypeNotice|Grass|くさ|Kusa}}
So far, there are only two notable Grass-type specialists: [[Erika]] of [[Celadon City]] and [[Gardenia]] of [[Eterna City]].

==Statistical averages==

{{BaseStats|
HP=57 |
Attack=61 |
Defense=63 |
SpAtk=72 |
SpDef=64 |
Speed=57 }}

==Battle properties==
Grass-type moves:
* Are super effective against: {{t|Ground}}, {{t|Rock}}, {{t|Water}}
* Are not very effective against: {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Dragon}}, {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Flying}}, '''Grass''', {{t|Poison}}, {{t|Steel}}
* Have no effect against: None

Grass-type Pokémon:
* Resist: {{t|Electric}}, '''Grass''', {{t|Ground}}, {{t|Water}}
* Are weak to: {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Ice}}, {{t|Poison}}
* Have immunity to: None

==Characteristics==
Defensively, the Grass-type is best at defending against certain {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon, such as {{p|Raikou}} and {{p|Jolteon}}. Many Electric-type Pokémon carry the move Hidden Power, usually of the {{type2|Grass}}, {{type2|Ice}}, or {{type2|Water}}. If the Electric-type doesn't carry an Ice-type move, it may not have any moves that a Grass-type Pokémon isn't resistant to; at the most, the Electric-type can hit with a normal effectiveness move that doesn't benefit from [[same-type attack bonus]], such as Crunch. The Grass-type isn't very good at defending against other Special types; {{type2|Fire}} and Ice-type moves are commonly carried by special attackers, and Grass-types won't be able to switch into a move benefiting from same-type attack bonus and then be able to survive a super effective move.

When defending against Physical moves, the Grass-type has limited value. The Grass-type resists {{type2|Ground}} moves, but has no resistance to {{type2|Rock}} or {{type2|Steel}} moves and is weak to {{type2|Flying}} moves. A Grass-type can, however, utilize a Ground-type move, a powerful super effective Grass-type move, or a move like Sleep Powder to incapacitate the foe.

Offensively, Grass-type moves are limited. They are best at taking down Pokémon like {{p|Swampert}} and {{p|Rhydon}} on which they deal four times normal damage. For this reason, they are good in [[Mt. Moon]] and [[Rock Tunnel]], which are populated by {{p|Geodude}}. However, too many Pokémon resist Grass-type moves to rely on them as a main form of dealing damage, and most Grass-type moves aren't very powerful.

Most Grass-types learn Leech Seed, and many learn Sleep Powder and Stun Spore. This makes Grass-types able to provide support to the rest of a team, and makes Grass-type Pokémon much harder to faint. Grass-types are also the only type with immunity to Leech Seed, which is often a valuable trait.

A '''badge''' (Japanese: '''バッジ''' ''badge'') is an item which denotes a [[Pokémon trainer]] as having defeated a [[Gym Leader]]. Trainers need to collect a certain number of [[gym]] badges in order to qualify for a region's [[Pokémon League]]. Young trainers usually begin their initial Pokémon journey by travelling from city to city in order to collect them. Badges are small enough to fit easily between one's thumb and index finger, and can be pinned to a shirt.

Badges affect a [[Pokémon]]'s behavior. A symbol of competence on the trainer's part, badges force Pokémon under a certain [[level]] to obey. Additionally, trainers cannot have a Pokémon use an [[HM]] move outside battle without the appropriate badge. Also, beginning in [[Generation IV]], the number of badges affects the items that various [[Poké Marts]] will sell a trainer. The more badges, the more expensive and rare items become available for purchase.

=List of badges=

==Sinnoh League==
Trainers in [[Sinnoh]] must collect eight badges to compete in the Sinnoh Regional Pokémon League. When they are touched in the games, they play a single note, and will make an octave when all eight are collected. When a player rubs the stylus across them numerous times to polish them (they gradually tarnish), they will begin to shine. This process can be continued until four sparkles are visible. The notes are also the most clearly defined when there are four sparkles.

Unlike previous generations, these badges apparently do not affect stats; if they do, no one informs the player of this fact. Furthermore, it is the number of badges that determines which Pokémon obey the trainer, rather than the badges themselves (this distinction is important owing to the fact that the order of obtaining the Cobble and Fen Badges can be reversed). For every second badge the maximum level of obeying Pokémon increases (2 badges - Level 30; 4 badges - Level 50; 6 badges - Level 70; 8 badges - Level 100).

=In the anime=
The [[Pokémon anime|anime]] has a few different rules for badges than in the games. Primarily, badges seem to do nothing beside signify the defeat of a given Gym Leader. A Pokémon may choose not to obey its trainer even if he or she has gained all eight badges, such as [[Ash's Charizard]].

Gym Leaders are quite lenient about giving out badges in the Anime. Additionally, trainers do not necessarily have to win a battle with the Gym Leader in order to earn a badge. The Orange Crew, for example, all have entire Gym matches devoted to unconventional battling styles and [[Ash Ketchum]] was awarded several badges because of his kind heart and determination. In Kanto, both Misty and Brock gave him the badges from their Gym because they were his friends (or at least that's what Misty says).

Participation in the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]] yields a final Indigo League badge at the closing ceremony. It is larger, however, and square shaped.

Moving up a grade in [[Pokémon Tech]] is the equivalent of winning two Gym badges. Upon graduation, students may immediately apply for entry in the Pokémon League.

Trainers can take a three-part test that awards a single badge which allows entry into the Pokémon League.
===Gary===
[[Image:Gary_badges.JPG|thumb|left|Gary's 10 badges]]
[[Gary Oak]] acquired more than the standard eight Kanto League badges, thus leading to confusion as to whether or not there is a finite number of badges that can be given out in a given region. By [[EP063]] he is shown to have at least ten badges, only 3 of which correspond to known Kanto league badges, suggesting there are at least fifteen gyms in Kanto. This would, therefore, provide one gym for every element at that time.
{{-}}

===Otoshi===
[[Image:Otoshi_badges.JPG|thumb|left|Otoshi's 8 badges]]
[[Image:Other_badges.JPG|thumb|right|An unnamed trainer's 8 badges]]
In addition, before Ash competes in the Indigo League, a trainer named [[Otoshi]] is shown in the episode ''[[EP073|Bad to the Bone]]''; he owns eight badges, but only shares four in common with Ash; later in the episode another trainer is seen with eight other completely different badges altogether. In total, Ash, Gary, Otoshi and the other trainer display 28 different types of badges, so there must be at least this number of gyms in Kanto at the time, assuming they are all from the same region.

On closer inspection, Otoshi's badges each look somewhat similar to Ash's badges and only differ in size and shape. Similarly, what can be identified as a Soul Badge, Thunder Badge, Marsh Badge, and Volcano Badge slide across the screen every time his Marowak knocks out a Pokémon in his flashback. His badges are in this order from upper-left to bottom-right: Thunder, ? (Rainbow), Cascade, Volcano, Marsh, Soul, Boulder, and Earth. This hints that there may be different varieties of the same badge.

Later, during Ash's Johto League challenge, he is given what is referred to in the show as the "[[Silver Wing]] Badge"; however, this is not an official gym badge and is not recognized in the games as a badge at all, but rather an item used to make {{p|Lugia}} appear in the [[Whirl Islands]].

===Morrison===
[[Image:Morrison_badge.JPG|thumb|100px|left|Morrison's 8th badge]]
At the Hoenn Pokémon League Championship in [[AG126]], [[Morrison]] is shown to have an eighth badge different from Ash's, suggesting that there are at least 9 gyms in Hoenn.
{{-}}

=In the Pokémon Special manga=
In [[Pokémon Special]], badges have mystical and mysterious qualities that can somehow increase the power of the Pokémon owned by the trainer who wields the badges.

It is not known what sort of material badges are made of, but they have been used for other purposes. The [[Mask of Ice]], for instance, made an armored mask out of crushed badges.

[[Team Rocket]] used seven Kanto Gym badges to power a machine that combined {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Moltres}} into [[Zapmolcuno|a single beast]]. The machine also had a secret slot for the Earth Badge, which Lance manipulated to further his own goals by turining [[Cerise Island]] into a giant badge energy amplifier.

Badges are not required to enter the Pokémon League tournament, however without eight badges, a trainer must battle their way in to qualify for the finals.

=In the Electric Tale of Pikachu manga=
In the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]], badges work in a way similar to the anime, however, there are some minor differences. All badges have the Pokémon League logo printed on them.

In addition, Pokémon trainers are organized by class, much like Pokémon Tech "Class D", "Class C" and so forth. Badges increase the the rank of the trainer who owns them. Ash once believed that he could increase his rank by capturing rare wild Pokémon, however this was not the case.

=Trivia=
*With the exception of the Rainbow Badge and Rising Badge, all badges were renamed for audiences outside of Japan before [[Generation III]]. Generation III was the first time none were renamed, and this continued in [[Generation IV]] with the exception of the Icicle Badge, which had been the Glacier Badge in Japan. This was changed due to the fact that the badge of [[Mahogany Town]] is called the Glacier Badge in English, while it is called the Ice Badge in Japan.
*The Orange League is the only known Pokémon League with fewer than 8 badges.
*With the exception of the Earth Badge, every eighth badge enables the use of {{HM|07|Waterfall}} outside of battle.

==Origin==

===Name origin===
An ''[[wp:amp|amp]]'' is a measure of electrical current. ''Pharos'' is the name of an area of Northern Egypt, where the [[wp:Lighthouse of Alexandria|Lighthouse of Alexandria]] is located. Ampharos's Japanese name can be taken to mean 電流, electric current. It may also be taken to be 電竜, electric-dragon, although this isn't a dictionary word. The French meaning seems to be a corruption of ''Lighthouse amp''.
