[[File:Spore VII.png|thumb|{{m|Spore}} is an example of a status move.]]
The '''status move''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|変化技|へんかわざ}}''' ''status move'') [[damage category|category]] includes several moves that do not directly inflict [[damage]], unlike [[physical move|physical]] and [[special move]]s. Status moves include moves that change the [[weather]], inflict [[status condition]]s, or raise or lower the [[stat]]s of a Pokémon, among other effects.

This term was introduced in [[Generation V]], in addition to '''Status move''' and '''status-changing move''' (although '''healing or status-changing move''' has also been used since {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}). From [[Generation VI]] onwards, the games almost always use only '''status move'''.

In {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, it is known as '''special technique''' or '''special move''' (Japanese: '''とくしゅなわざ''' ''special move''), although only the latter name is used in the sequel [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]. From [[Generation IV]] onwards, they are identified by the status move symbol in the [[summary]]. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, it is known as '''changing attack''' (Japanese: '''へんかわざ''' ''changing move''). In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], it is referred to as '''Other'''.

Status moves typically do not employ [[type effectiveness]], so may affect Pokémon regardless of their types; however, {{type|Ground}} Pokémon are immune to {{m|Thunder Wave}} based on type interactions, and {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon are immune to {{m|Glare}} based on type interactions in Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|III}} only. Furthermore, status moves may be unable to affect Pokémon based on type-related interactions other than effectiveness; for example, {{type|Poison}} Pokémon cannot be afflicted with {{status|poison}} and are thus unaffected by {{m|Poison Gas}} (unless the user has {{a|Corrosion}}).

The majority of {{t|Normal}}- and {{type|Psychic}} [[move]]s, as well as the only {{type|???}} move (prior to Generation V, when the type stopped existing), are in this category. Very few moves of the other 16 types are status moves; for example, the {{type|Dragon}} and {{type|Fire}} only have three status moves each.

In the Generation {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}} [[core series]] games, when an in-game opponent outside of the {{gdis|Battle Tower|II}} uses a [[status move]] that would decrease one of the target's stats, that move has a 25% chance to fail in addition to its normal chance to miss.<ref>[https://github.com/pret/pokered/blob/master/engine/battle/effects.asm pret/pokered/engine/battle/effects.asm]</ref> In the Generation {{gen|II}} [[core series]] games, this condition also applies to status moves that would inflict a {{DL|Status condition|Non-volatile status|non-volatile status condition}} upon the target.<ref>[https://github.com/pret/pokegold/blob/master/engine/battle/effect_commands.asm pret/pokegold/engine/battle/effect_commands.asm]</ref>

When a Pokémon [[Dynamax]]es, its status moves temporarily become {{m|Max Guard}}.

==Terminology==
===Pokémon Stadium series===
In {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, the terms "special technique" or "special move" (Japanese: とくしゅなわざ ''special move'' in both cases) refer to status moves. In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], the word "technique" was replaced by "move" in all move descriptions.

Sometimes, their type is mentioned in the move description as well, as in "special Normal-type technique" or "special Psychic-type move".

These status moves are described as "special moves" in both Stadium games: {{m|Conversion}}, {{m|Hypnosis}}, {{m|Kinesis}}, {{m|Lovely Kiss}}, and {{m|Thunder Wave}}.

These status moves are described as "special techniques" in {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, and as "special moves" in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] (although they use the same Japanese term): {{m|Agility}}, {{m|Confuse Ray}}, {{m|Light Screen}}, {{m|Meditate}}, {{m|Reflect}}, {{m|Sing}}, {{m|Supersonic}}, and {{m|Teleport}}.

For comparison, the term "special attack" (Japanese: とくしゅこうげき ''special attack'') is sometimes used referring to [[special move]]s in the Stadium games. This includes the "special attacks" mentioned in the description of {{m|Light Screen}} and {{m|Mirror Coat}}. The moves {{m|Fire Punch}}, {{m|Ice Punch}}, {{m|Thunder Punch}}, and {{m|Future Sight}} are also referred to as "special attacks".

===Generation III===
From {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} onwards, {{m|Snatch}} refers to status moves as "healing or status-changing moves" or "healing or stat-changing moves".

===Generation IV===
Starting in this generation, the status moves are identified by their symbol as seen in the Pokémon's [[summary]].

The name "changing attack" (Japanese: へんかわざ ''changing move'') is seen in one of the three lists of TMs for sale, which are based on the moves's categories, at the Exchange Service Corner from the {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Generation IV}} in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} (unlike in {{game|Platinum}}, where there is a single list of TMs available for sale in the Battle Frontier).

===Generation V onwards===
These terms were introduced in introduced in {{game|Black and White|s}}: "status move" (only found in the description of {{a|Prankster}}), "Status move" (found in the [[Help System]]: "Moves are classified as Physical, Special, or Status moves."), and "status-changing move" (used in the description of {{a|Magic Bounce}} and {{a|Wonder Skin}}).

In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], [[Cheren]]'s descriptions of Prankster, Magic Bounce, and Wonder Skin use "status move".

From [[Generation VI]] onwards, "status move" is almost always consistently used.

'''Unseen Fist''' (Japanese: '''ふかしのこぶし''' ''Invisible Fist'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]]. It is the signature Ability of {{p|Urshifu}}.

==Effect==
===In battle===
When using a [[contact]] move, Pokémon with Unseen Fist ignore {{cat|protection moves}} in effect for their targets, except {{m|Max Guard}}. This applies even if the user is holding [[Protective Pads]], but does NOT apply if the user is holding a [[Punching Glove]], as it turns {{cat|punching moves}} into non-contact moves.

====Affected moves====
The table below lists the moves affected by Unseen Fist, as well as the forms of Urshifu that can learn those moves.

It also has the power to see the past, present, and future of any kind.<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/calyrex/</ref>One legend said Calyrex used its foresight ability to save creatures of a forest from a meteor one time. Another legend mentions Calyrex stealing the body of a human that causes mischief. Calyrex has the ability to take control of humans in order to communicate. It has been referred to as the "King of Bountiful Harvests" due to its role in bring lush vegetation and harvests yearly. It can provide healings or blessings such as ending the heart. While it show no mercy to those that stand in its way, it will heal the wounds of a foe afterwards. Calyrex is powerful enough to move entire forest and its Pokémon to new location. When riding either {{p|Glastrier}} or {{p| Spectrier}} it ran all over [[Galar]] to bring green within the region's wastelands.

==Trivia==

===Origin===
Calyrex may be based on an {{wp|arctic hare}} and a {{wp|Crown (headgear)|crown}}. The large bulbs on its head and around its neck resemble berries or flowers. It also bears some resemblance to fictional taxidermy creations, such as the American {{wp|jackalope}} or the German {{wp|wolpertinger}}. Its {{wp|Buddhist prayer beads|beads}} around its neck each bear the {{wp|Hōjō clan}} symbol. Conceptually, it may be based on pre-Victorian depictions of {{wp|Fairy|fairies}} and {{wp|Elf|elves}}, or any one of a number of {{wp|Horned deity|Horned deities}} from various European pagan religions, such as {{wp|Cernunnos}} or {{wp|Herne the Hunter}}. Its fusion forms are a reference to cavalry, or the folklore of the {{wp|Wild Hunt}}.

====Name origin====
Calyrex may be a combination of ''calyx'' (Latin for bud) and ''rex'' (Latin for king), or {{wp|carex}}.

Budrex may be a combination of ''bud'' and ''rex'' (Latin for king).

'''Sheer Force''' (Japanese: '''ちからずく''' ''Sheer Force'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation V]].

==Effect==
{{AbilityResearch|Full list of items and Abilities which are negated by it}}
===In battle===
Sheer Force raises the base power of all damaging moves that have any [[additional effect]]s by 30%, but their additional effects are ignored.

Reducing the target's stats, increasing the user's stats, inflicting a [[status condition]] or {{status|confusion}} to the target, and causing the target to {{status|flinch}} are all considered additional effects, so moves with these effects will have their power increased and their additional effect ignored.

Sheer Force does not consider [[recoil]] or decreasing the user's own stats to be additional effects. Properties of moves—such as {{cat|Moves with a high critical-hit ratio|having a high critical-hit ratio}}, {{cat|moves that cannot miss|being unable to miss}}, having {{cat|Moves that have variable power|variable power}} or {{cat|Moves that power up|powering up}}, or having a {{cat|Moves with a charging turn|charging turn}}, among others—are not considered additional effects. Moves that have one of these properties in addition to an additional effect will be powered up and only the additional effect will be negated. For example, {{m|Flare Blitz}} inflicts recoil damage to the user, but also has an additional effect to {{status|burn}}; if the user has Sheer Force, Flare Blitz's damage will be boosted by 30% and the user will take recoil damage, but it cannot burn the target. Effects of {{m|Fling}} caused by holding specific items are not considered additional effects for the purposes of Sheer Force.

If (and only if) a move is boosted by the effect of Sheer Force, that move will no longer trigger item or Ability effects that activate after attacking. This includes the effects of [[Eject Button]], [[Shell Bell]], [[Red Card]], [[Kee Berry]], and [[Maranga Berry]] as well as the Abilities {{a|Color Change}}, {{a|Pickpocket}}, {{a|Wimp Out}}, {{a|Emergency Exit}}, and {{a|Berserk}}. Only the effect(s) that activate after attacking will be negated; therefore, if a Pokémon with Sheer Force holding a [[Life Orb]] uses a move boosted by Sheer Force, it will gain the passive damage boost (because it is not activated after the attack), but the Pokémon will not be damaged by the Life Orb.

Sheer Force does not affect [[Max Move]]s, neither powering them up nor removing their secondary effects.

The table below lists the moves affected by Sheer Force, as well as the Pokémon that can have Sheer Force and learn those moves.

'''Terrain Pulse''' (Japanese: '''だいちのはどう''' ''Terrain Pulse'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

==Effect==
{{MoveResearch|Is this a pulse move? Does Mega Launcher affect base power?}}
Terrain Pulse deals damage. When there is no [[terrain]] active, Terrain Pulse is a {{type|Normal}} move. Under any type of terrain, Terrain Pulse's [[power]] doubles to 100 (type power-ups from the terrain will be put into effect in addition to this boost).

Terrain Pulse's type changes depending on the [[terrain]] at the time it is used.
* {{type|Electric}} if the battlefield is {{m|Electric Terrain}}.
* {{type|Grass}} if the battlefield is {{m|Grassy Terrain}}.
* {{type|Fairy}} if the battlefield is {{m|Misty Terrain}}.
* {{type|Psychic}} if the battlefield is {{m|Psychic Terrain}}.

When used as a [[Max Move]], Terrain Pulse will display as Max Strike but will change into the appropriately typed Max Move upon execution, depending on the present terrain when Max Strike is actually executed.

Dynamax

2020-05-28T16:43:17Z

Pyritie: /* Effects on held items */ removed "of"

[[File:SwSh Prerelease Dynamax Pikachu.png|thumb|A Dynamax {{p|Pikachu}}]]
'''Dynamax''' (Japanese: '''ダイマックス''' ''Daimax'') is a temporary transformation affecting Pokémon that was introduced in [[Generation VIII]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who obtain a [[Dynamax Band]] are able to Dynamax their Pokémon. According to [[Professor Magnolia]], the Pokémon distorts space to change its size while affecting the world around them. This transformation has another special variant known as [[Gigantamax]].

==History==
After its defeat thousands of years ago by {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}}, {{p|Eternatus}}'s energy leaked out during its slumber in the form of Galar particles. This resulted in the creation of {{cat|Power Spots}}, where Trainers can trigger the Dynamax transformation. Some Power Spots had Gym Stadiums built over them, and others in the [[Wild Area]] became [[Pokémon Den|Pokémon Dens]], where [[Max Raid Battle|Max Raid Battles]] take place. Parts of Eternatus's body, known as [[Wishing Star]]s, rained across [[Galar]], allowing whoever found them to Dynamax their Pokémon when at a Power Spot. [[Dynamax Band|Dynamax Bands]] were created to help anyone fully utilize the transformation there.

==Effects==
{{incomplete|section|Effects of item-affecting moves See comment tags}}
Dynamaxing increases a Pokémon's size drastically, as well as changing the moves of the Pokémon and increasing their HP in battle (except for {{p|Shedinja}}), but can only be used once during a battle, and ends after three turns or if the user is switched out. In addition, it can only be performed in areas known to have {{cat|Power Spots}}, such as [[Galar]]'s [[Gym|Gym Stadiums]] and {{gdis|Battle Tower|VIII}}. When Dynamaxed, all of the Pokémon's [[move]]s will turn into [[Max Move]]s that correspond to those moves' [[type]]s and categories. Like with [[Mega Evolution]], Dynamax is activated at the start of the turn before all other moves are executed. If a Dynamax Pokémon is unable to use any moves (e.g. running out of {{PP}}), it will use {{m|Struggle}}.

In a [[Max Raid Battle]], the wild Pokémon is a Dynamax Pokémon for the entire duration of the battle. Only one of the Trainers' Pokémon can Dynamax during a Max Raid Battle for three turns. The first Trainer with the chance to Dynamax is the host, with the chance passing to the next player who joined until it returns to the first player.

{{p|Zacian}}, {{p|Zamazenta}}, and {{p|Eternatus}}, including Pokémon {{m|transform}}ed into one of these, cannot Dynamax.

===Gigantamax===
{{main|Gigantamax}}
If a Pokémon has the Gigantamax Factor, it can undergo Gigantamax, a special kind of Dynamax that results in a different appearance to its regular form in addition to being larger. Only specific individual members of a select group of species can Gigantamax. Each Gigantamax Pokémon has an exclusive Max Move known as a [[G-Max Move]]. Other than having a G-Max Move, Gigantamax is functionally identical to a Dynamax.

===Dynamax Level and HP===
Dynamaxing provides Pokémon with an increase to its maximum and current HP (with the exception of Shedinja) by the same factor. The amount of HP gained depends on the Pokemon's Dynamax Level, which can be increased with [[Dynamax Candy]]. At Dynamax Level 0, a Pokémon will gain 50% more HP. For every Dynamax Level above that, the Pokemon will gain 5% more HP, up to a 100% HP increase at Dynamax Level 10. All other [[statistic|stats]], as well as its [[Ability]] and [[held item]], remain the same.

Whenever a Pokémon enters into or reverts from Dynamax, its current HP is adjusted to retain the same percentage of HP remaining rounded up. For instance, if a Pokémon at Dynamax Level 10 has 100/200 HP remaining, then upon Dynamaxing, its HP will be adjusted to 200/400. Conversely, if the same Pokémon has 101/400 HP in Dynamax form, then its HP will be adjusted down to 51/200 when its Dynamax expires. All effects that are based on a percentage of the Dynamaxed Pokémon's maximum HP (e.g. {{m|Life Dew}}, {{m|Leech Seed}}, [[Poison (status condition)|poisoning]]) are calculated based on its maximum non-Dynamax HP. If {{m|Endeavor}} or {{m|Pain Split}} is used against a Dynamax Pokémon, the damage it receives would only be based on its non-Dynamax HP. The same Dynamax Pokémon described above will have its HP lowered to 101/200 hit with a 1-HP user's Endeavor. However, {{m|Brine}}'s bonus damage is still calculated based on the Dynamax HP.

===Immunities===
Dynamax Pokémon are immune to {{status|Flinch}}ing. {{m|Fake Out}} can still damage a Dynamax Pokémon, but will have no secondary effect. They are unaffected by {{cat|moves affected by weight}}, such as {{m|Low Kick}} and {{m|Heavy Slam}}, [[one-hit knockout move]]s, and {{m|Destiny Bond}}. Moves and Abilities that replace the target's [[Ability]] with the user's, including {{m|Skill Swap}}, {{m|Entrainment}}, and {{a|Wandering Spirit}}, have no effect on Dynamax Pokémon. However, moves that {{cat|Ability-changing moves|change or suppress}} the Dynamax Pokémon's Ability altogether, such as {{m|Gastro Acid}} and {{m|Worry Seed}}, still work.

Dynamax Pokémon cannot be switched out by the effects of {{cat|Moves that switch the target out}}, like {{m|Roar}} and {{m|Whirlwind}}, but can be forced out by {{a|Emergency Exit}} or an [[Eject Button]]. {{m|Circle Throw}} and {{m|Dragon Tail}} will still damage Dynamax Pokémon. [[Red Card]] also fails to switch out a Dynamax Pokémon, but can be activated and consumed. If a Dynamax Pokémon has {{a|Magic Bounce}} and is targeted by {{m|Parting Shot}}, the move will be reflected and force the Dynamax Pokémon to switch out (the owner of the Dynamax Pokémon is still able to choose the Pokémon that it is replaced with).

Dynamax Pokémon cannot be affected by {{m|Disable}} or {{a|Cursed Body}}. A Max Move can still be used if its base move was disabled prior to Dynamax. Dynamax Pokémon are also immune to {{m|Encore}}, {{m|Torment}}, and {{m|Instruct}}.

===Effects on held items===
[[Choice Band]], [[Choice Scarf]], [[Choice Specs]], {{a|Gorilla Tactics}}, and {{a|Sheer Force}} temporarily stop working (including the stat boosts) if the holder is Dynamaxed. However, [[Assault Vest]] still works accordingly and prevents the holder from using [[Max Guard]].

===Effects on Transformed Pokémon===
If {{m|Transform}} or {{a|Imposter}} is used against a Dynamax Pokémon, only its base form and base moves will be copied, and the user can Dynamax separately. The Gigantamax Factor, however, is not copied at all; instead, the user can only achieve the standard Dynamax form. Additionally, if a Pokémon incapable of Dynamax (e.g. {{p|Zacian}}) is copied, then the user will not be able to Dynamax afterwards. If a Pokémon attempts to copy a Max Move (e.g. using {{m|Copycat}}), it will copy the base move of that Max Move.

==In the anime==
[[File:Lance Red Gyarados Dynamax.png|thumb|250px|[[Lance]]'s [[Red Gyarados|Gyarados]] Dynamaxed in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Dynamaxing was first featured in ''[[JN005|Mind-Boggling Dynamax!]]'', where {{Ash}} and [[Goh]] witnessed a {{p|Snorlax}} [[Gigantamax]]ing in the [[Wild Area]] and had to figure out a way to stop an incoming train from colliding with it.

In [[JN012]], [[Lance]]'s [[Red Gyarados]] was shown Dynamaxing during his battle against [[Leon]] and his {{p|Charizard}} at the finals of the [[World Championships|Pokémon World Championships]], which was held at [[Wyndon Stadium]]. Leon Gigantamaxed his Charizard in response to Lance's Dynamax.

Later in the same episode, {{TRT}} inadvertently caused a {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Drednaw}} to Gigantamax outside Wyndon Stadium. It reappeared in [[JN013]], where it battled [[Ash's Pikachu]]. In the process, Pikachu was also exposed to some Dynamax energy and subsequently Gigantamaxed. This resulting power and size boost allowed Pikachu to defeat Drednaw.

==In the manga==
[[File:Max Raid Battle Adventures.png|thumb|200px|A Dynamax Gurdurr in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokemon Adventures manga===
A Dynamax Pokémon first appeared in {{chap|Sword & Shield}}, where [[Sōdo Tsurugi|Sōdo]], [[Shirudomiria Tate|Shirudomiria]], and a pair of {{tc|Team Yell Grunt}}s battled a Dynamax {{p|Gurdurr}} in a [[Max Raid Battle]]. After defeating it, Sōdo was able to catch it, add it to his [[party]], and [[nickname]] it Tekkotsun.

Dynamax appeared again during Sōdo's [[Gym]] battle against [[Milo]], where the {{type|Grass}} [[Gym Leader]] Dynamaxed his {{p|Eldegoss}}. Sōdo responded by doing the same with his {{p|Sirfetch'd|Ransun}}.

In [[JNM04]], [[Lance]]'s [[red Gyarados]] Dynamaxed during a battle against [[Leon]]'s {{p|Charizard}}.

==In the TCG==
Dynamax is featured in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] as {{VMAX}}. It was added as a new mechanic to the game in the {{TCG|Sword & Shield}} expansion (the {{TCG|Sword}} and {{TCG|Shield}} sets in Japan).

Released along with the first {{TCG|Pokémon V}} cards, '''Pokémon VMAX''' introduce the Dynamax and [[Gigantamax]] mechanics into the Trading Card Game. Pokémon VMAX evolve from their respective Pokémon V, giving them boosted {{TCG|Hit Points}} (so far, the biggest HPs in a Pokémon card) and more powerful attacks. When a VMAX Pokémon is knocked out, the opponent takes three Prize cards instead of one.

So far, all released VMAX Pokémon have one or two attacks and no abilities. While keeping the same layout of Pokémon V, VMAX Pokémon cards have a rainbow background and details on the card's bottom, as well its illustration also fading into the top-most area and having the visual aura of Dynamaxing/Gigantamaxing on the Pokémon.

'''Torment''' (Japanese: '''いちゃもん''' ''Falsely Accuse'') is a non-damaging {{type|Dark}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation III]]. It was [[TM41]] from Generation III to {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}.

==Effect==
===Generations III and IV===
Torment prevents the target from selecting the same move for use twice in a row. If a Pokémon has selected the move it used last turn and becomes affected with Torment, it may still use the move this turn (even if it moves after the user of Torment).

If the target can only use one move (e.g. is holding a Choice item, only has one move with PP, is under the effect of {{m|Encore}}, etc.), the target will be forced to use {{m|Struggle}} every second round. Struggle is not affected by Torment; if a Pokémon has run out of PP for all of its moves, it can continue to use Struggle. Moves such as {{m|Rollout}} will still be fully executed under the effects of Torment.

===Generation V onward===
Torment can now be reflected with {{m|Magic Coat}}.

Pokémon that know Torment are banned from participating in films at [[Pokéstar Studios]].

Torment does not work on Pokémon under the protection of {{a|Aroma Veil}}.

Torment can also be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Contest Spectacular combination]], causing certain moves ({{m|Counter}}, {{m|Destiny Bond}}, {{m|Grudge}}, {{m|King's Shield}}, {{m|Metal Burst}}, {{m|Mirror Coat}} and {{m|Spite}}) to give an extra three appeal points if used in the next turn.

A Pokémon affected by Torment can upgrade a [[status move]] into a [[Z-Move]] even if it used that move during the previous turn.

Torment does not prevent the target from repeating its most recent move via {{m|Instruct}}.

If powered up by a [[Darkinium Z]] into Z-Torment, the user's {{stat|Defense}} stat rises by one stage.

Torment will fail if used on a [[Dynamax]] Pokémon, and a Pokémon under the effect of Torment can remove it by Dynamaxing.

Instead of prohibiting a move from being used twice in a row, Torment seals the last move the target used. If a user's move is sealed by Torment, it will remain sealed until the user moves to the next floor.

'''Encore''' (Japanese: '''アンコール''' ''Encore'') is a non-damaging {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation II]]. It is [[TR30]] in [[Generation VIII]].

==Effect==
===Generation II===
Encore prevents the target from using any move except the last move that it used for 2 to 6 turns.

If the Pokémon affected by Encore runs out of {{PP}} for the affected move, the effects of Encore end immediately. If the move the Pokémon is locked into by Encore is {{m|disable}}d, the Pokémon will be forced to use {{m|Struggle}} until the effects of Disable or Encore have worn off.

Encore can hit through a {{m|substitute}}.

Encore will fail if the last move the target used was {{m|Transform}}, {{m|Mimic}}, {{m|Sketch}}, {{m|Mirror Move}}, Encore itself, {{m|Struggle}}, or a move that has no {{PP}}. It will also fail if the foe has not used a move yet.

If a Pokémon is affected by Encore before it can use its move that turn, it will be forced to use the move that Encore has locked it into.

===Generation III===
Like {{m|Disable}}, {{m|Torment}} can now be used to force the opponent to use {{m|Struggle}} every second turn.

A Pokémon affected by Encore cannot select the targets of its moves. If the Pokémon chooses to use the move, if that move can target a foe, a random foe will be targeted.

If a Pokémon is affected by Encore before it uses its move that turn, and it is now locked into a move other than the one it selected, it will be forced to use the move that Encore has locked it into; even if the move it is forced to use has a different [[priority]] than the move it had selected, the Pokémon will still move with the priority of the move it had selected. If the move the Pokémon is forced to use is the same as it had selected, the move will execute on its designated target that turn; otherwise, if the move it is locked into is a move that can target a single opponent, it will target a random opponent. If a Pokémon is forced to use {{m|Focus Punch}} on a turn it chose another move, the charging message does not appear, but it will still lose its focus if it took damage from an attack that turn.

===Generation IV===
Encore now lasts for 3 to 7 turns.

If a Pokémon is forced to use {{m|Acupressure}} on a turn it chose another move, it will randomly target either itself or an ally when executed.

===Generations V and VI===
Encore now lasts exactly 3 turns. It can now be reflected by {{m|Magic Coat}}, but will then fail.

A Pokémon affected by Encore can now select the target of its moves.

If a Pokémon is forced to use {{m|Focus Punch}} on a turn it chose another move, the charging message does not appear and it can be executed regardless of whether the Pokémon took damage that turn. If a Pokémon is forced to use {{m|Acupressure}} on a turn it chose another move, it will always target the user, not an ally.

Encore cannot affect a Pokémon under the effect of {{a|Aroma Veil}}.

Encore can be used as a part of a [[Contest combination|Contest Spectacular combination]], causing certain moves ({{m|Counter}}, {{m|Destiny Bond}}, {{m|Grudge}}, {{m|King's Shield}}, {{m|Metal Burst}}, {{m|Mirror Coat}} and {{m|Spite}}) to give an extra three appeal points if any of them is used in the next turn.

===Generation VII===
Encore now fails if the target's last move was a {{cat|Moves that call other moves|move that calls other moves}} (such as {{m|Metronome}}). It will also fail if the last target's last move was a [[Z-Move]]. A Pokémon affected by Encore can use a Z-Move even if it is locked into another move (including the turn it is affected by Encore).

If a Pokémon is forced to use {{m|Beak Blast}} on a turn it chose another move, Beak Blast will fail.

Encore will fail if used against a Pokémon that has used {{m|Shell Trap}}.

If a Pokémon uses a move at an increased [[priority]] due to selecting an increased priority move before being affected by Encore, Pokémon affected by {{m|Psychic Terrain}}, {{a|Queenly Majesty}}, and {{a|Dazzling}} will block the move.

If powered up by a [[Normalium Z]] into Z-Encore, the user's {{stat|Speed}} stat is raised by one stage.

Using Encore on a [[Dynamax]] Pokémon will fail, and a Dynamax Pokémon will ignore the effect of Encore if it was affected by it before it Dynamaxed.

'''Disable''' (Japanese: '''かなしばり''' ''Temporary Binding'') is a non-damaging {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

==Effect==
===Generation I===
Disable randomly selects one move that is in the target's current move set and whose current PP is greater than 0, and gives it a randomly chosen disable duration length of 0 to 7, which is reduced by 1 each time the Pokémon attempts to execute an attack. While the move is disabled, a message of "disabled!" will appear in place of the disabled move's PP, and the target will be unable to use the move until the round after Disable wears off (attempting to select the move will just result in a notice that the move is disabled).

Disable will fail if one of the target's moves is already disabled.

If the target does manage to select the move (such as if it knows the move twice because of {{m|Mimic}}, or if the user is faster than the target and disables the attack that the target was going to use during that round) and attempts to execute it before the disable duration is over, it will only result in a wasted turn and a message that the move is disabled. Since the check to see if a move is disabled happens after the duration reduction, it is possible to disable the move the target was about to use for only 1 turn and as a result have Disable end immediately, still allowing the target to use said move during that round. It is also possible for the target to still use the disabled move if it is called via {{m|Metronome}} or {{m|Mirror Move}}.

If the target has only one move and that move is successfully disabled, it will use {{m|Struggle}} until it can select its move again. Disable will fail if the target has no PP for any of its moves.

Turns spent flinching, fast asleep, frozen solid, recharging, or partially trapped will not count towards the Disable duration length.

Even if unsuccessful (for any reason), using Disable against a Pokémon using {{m|Rage}} will cause its rage to build.

In Stadium, Disable will cause a Pokémon's rage to build only if successful. The disabled move's PP is not replaced with a "disabled!" message, though attempting to select the move will still result in a notice that the move is disabled.

Accuracy in this generation is 55%.

===Generation II===
Disable now disables the last move that the target used, giving it a disable duration length of 2-8, which is reduced by 1 each time the target attempts to execute an attack. It will also fail if the target has not used a move yet, or if the last move it used was {{m|Struggle}}. {{m|Sleep Talk}} can still call a disabled move.

===Generation III===
Disable now lasts 2-5 turns.

===Generation IV===
Disable's accuracy is changed from 55% to 80%.

Disable now lasts 4-7 turns.

===Generation V onwards===
Disable now lasts 4 turns. Its accuracy is changed from 80% to 100% and it can now be reflected with {{m|Magic Coat}}.

Disable does not affect Pokémon under the protection of {{a|Aroma Veil}}.

If powered up by a [[Normalium Z]] into Z-Disable, all of the user's lowered stats are reset.

If the last move the target used was a [[Max Move|Max Move]], Disable will fail.

==In other games==
===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]===
Disable {{status|paralyze}}s the opponent instead of disabling a move. It is unaffected by evasion and accuracy.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity]], Disable seals the move that its target most recently used on the floor.

===[[Super Smash Bros.]] series===
{{SSB|Mewtwo}} uses {{sbw|Disable}} as its down special move. Rather than disabling a move, Disable stuns the opponent, leaving them vulnerable for a short period of time. The move only works if the opponent is making eye contact with Mewtwo. Also, the opponent has to be standing on the ground, or they take weak knockback instead.

===Description===

Neutralizing Gas (Ability)

{{AbilityInfobox
|gen=8
|name=Neutralizing Gas
|jpname=かがくへんかガス
|jptrans=Chemical Change Gas
|jptranslit=Kagaku Henka Gasu
|colorscheme=poison
|text8=If the Pokémon with Neutralizing Gas is in the battle, the effects of all Pokémon's Abilities will be nullified or will not be triggered.
}}
'''Neutralizing Gas''' (Japanese: '''かがくへんかガス''' ''Chemical Change Gas'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]]. It is the [[signature Ability]] of {{p|Koffing}}'s [[evolution]]ary lines.

==Effect==
===In battle===
{{AbilityResearch|How does it affect other [[:Category:Abilities that cannot be suppressed|Abilities that cannot be suppressed]]?}}
Neutralizing Gas suppresses the effects of {{Abilities}} of other Pokémon currently in battle.

Once Neutralizing Gas is no longer applying, {{cat|Abilities that activate upon entering battle|Abilities that activate when a Pokémon is switched in}} (such as {{a|Intimidate}}) that were suppressed immediately activate regardless of whether they have already activated (except {{a|Unnerve}}, which applies without displaying a message, and {{a|Imposter}}). If it stops applying because the Pokémon with Neutralizing Gas is switched out, those Abilities activate before the switch occurs (e.g. if Intimidate is activated this way, it will decrease the Attack of the Pokémon with Neutralizing Gas before it switches out).

Neutralizing Gas cannot suppress Neutralizing Gas,  {{a|Stance Change}}, or {{a|Schooling}}.

Neutralizing Gas cannot be copied by {{a|Trace}}, {{m|Role Play}}, or {{m|Entrainment}}. Neutralizing Gas cannot be swapped by {{m|Skill Swap}} or {{a|Wandering Spirit}}. It can, however, be suppressed or overridden through {{m|Gastro Acid}}, {{m|Worry Seed}}, {{m|Simple Beam}}, {{m|Role Play}}, {{m|Entrainment}}, or {{a|Mummy}}. These effects persist even if Neutralizing Gas is suppressed through Gastro Acid—a Pokémon with Mold Breaker will still fail to use Skill Swap on a Pokémon with (suppressed) Neutralizing Gas.<ref name="Smogon Research Thread">https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/sword-shield-battle-mechanics-research.3655528/post-8430587</ref>

{{a|Mold Breaker}} is suppressed by Neutralizing Gas.

===Outside of battle===
Neutralizing Gas has no effect outside of battle.

Mark

2020-04-27T13:44:23Z

Pyritie: I feel like specifying weatherless is important because we have no data on how common weather marks are

{{samename|male player character from {{ga|Pokémon Trading Card Game}} and [[Pokémon Card GB2: Here Comes Team GR!|its sequel]]|Mark (GB)}}
{{samename|selectable shape markings on a Pokémon's summary screen|Pokémon Storage System#Markings|Pokémon Storage System → Markings}}
{{samename|mark on a Pokémon's status screen that indicates which game it came from|Origin mark}}
A '''mark''' (Japanese: '''あかし''' ''mark'') is a special marking that a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} can have when {{pkmn2|caught}} that was introduced in [[Generation VIII]]. As with Ribbons, they are shown on a Pokémon's summary screen and grant a particular title to a Pokémon that is shown when it is sent out in {{pkmn|battle}}. However, unlike [[Ribbon]]s, a mark cannot be earned by any Pokémon—it is already set when a Pokémon is caught.

Approximately 5% of Pokémon encountered in the wild will have a mark. Any Pokémon obtained after cooking [[curry]] while [[Pokémon Camp|camping]] will have the Curry Mark. Pokémon hatched from {{pkmn|Egg}}s or caught in a [[Max Raid Battle]] will never have a mark, so it is currently impossible to have a Pokémon with both a [[Hidden Ability]] and a mark.

For weatherless wild encounters, of the 5% that have a mark:<ref name="Smogon Research Thread">https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/pokemon-sword-and-shield-datamine-thread.3656143/post-8441943</ref>
* Approximately 40% will have the Uncommon mark
* Approximately 40% will have a time-based mark
* Approximately 20% will have one of marks 69-97

Hi I mostly edit pages when smogon's mechanics research threads find something new.

Mark

{{samename|male player character from {{ga|Pokémon Trading Card Game}} and [[Pokémon Card GB2: Here Comes Team GR!|its sequel]]|Mark (GB)}}
{{samename|selectable shape markings on a Pokémon's summary screen|Pokémon Storage System#Markings|Pokémon Storage System → Markings}}
{{samename|mark on a Pokémon's status screen that indicates which game it came from|Origin mark}}
A '''mark''' (Japanese: '''あかし''' ''mark'') is a special marking that a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} can have when {{pkmn2|caught}} that was introduced in [[Generation VIII]]. As with Ribbons, they are shown on a Pokémon's summary screen and grant a particular title to a Pokémon that is shown when it is sent out in {{pkmn|battle}}. However, unlike [[Ribbon]]s, a mark cannot be earned by any Pokémon—it is already set when a Pokémon is caught. Only Pokémon caught through normal battles can have a mark—Pokémon hatched from eggs or caught in a [[Max Raid Battle]] will never have a mark. Therefore, it is currently impossible to have a Pokémon with both a [[Hidden Ability]] and a mark.

Approximately 5% of Pokémon encountered in the wild will have a mark. Any Pokémon obtained after cooking [[curry]] while [[Pokémon Camp|camping]] will have the Curry Mark.

Of those 5%, caught in an area without a weather condition<ref name="Smogon Research Thread">https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/pokemon-sword-and-shield-datamine-thread.3656143/post-8441943</ref>:
* ~40% will have the Uncommon mark
* ~40% will have a time-based mark
* ~20% will have one of marks 69-97

A '''mark''' (Japanese: '''あかし''' ''mark'') is a special marking that a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} can have when {{pkmn2|caught}} that was introduced in [[Generation VIII]]. As with Ribbons, they are shown on a Pokémon's summary screen and grant a particular title to a Pokémon that is shown when it is sent out in {{pkmn|battle}}. However, unlike [[Ribbon]]s, a mark cannot be earned by any Pokémon—it is already set when a Pokémon is caught. Only Pokémon caught through normal battles can have a mark -- Pokémon hatched from eggs or caught in a [[Raid Battle]] will never have a mark.

Approximately 5% of Pokémon encountered in the wild will have a mark. Any Pokémon obtained after cooking [[curry]] while [[Pokémon Camp|camping]] will have the Curry Mark.

Of those 5%, caught in an area without a weather condition<ref name="Smogon Research Thread">https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/pokemon-sword-and-shield-datamine-thread.3656143/post-8441943</ref>:
* ~40% will have the Uncommon mark
* ~40% will have a time-based mark
* ~20% will have one of marks 69-97

'''Frisk''' (Japanese: '''おみとおし''' ''Unobstructed Sight'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

==Effect==
===In battle===
====Generations IV and V====

Frisk allows the Pokémon to see the opponent's held item upon entering battle. If the foe is holding an item, a message identifying the item will be shown right after the Pokémon with Frisk enters the battle. If the foe is not holding an item, no message will appear.

In a [[Double Battle|Double]] or [[Triple Battle]], an unidentified opponent is randomly chosen and their held item revealed. The item revealed may be from a non-adjacent opponent.

====Generation VI====
Frisk now identifies the held items of all opposing Pokémon, regardless of position, in the order of left to right from that team's perspective.

===Outside of battle===
Frisk has no effect outside of battle.

Ice Face (Ability)

Pyritie: /* In battle */

{{AbilityInfobox

|jptranslit=Aisu Feisu

|gen=8
|text8=The Pokémon's ice head can take a physical attack as a substitute, but the attack also changes the Pokémon's appearance. The ice will be restored when it hails.
}}

'''Ice Face''' (Japanese: '''アイスフェイス''' ''Ice Face'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]]. It is the [[signature Ability]] of {{p|Eiscue}}.

==Effect==
{{AbilityResearch|Check to see if affected by moves that alter Abilities}}
===In battle===
When an Eiscue that's in its Ice Face form is hit by a [[physical move]], it takes no [[damage]] and changes into its Noice Face form. If a {{OBP|hail|weather condition}}storm is set up after Eiscue has changed into its Noice Face form, it will be restored to its Ice Face form at the end of the turn.

Ice Face does not protect against [[special move]]s. A Noice Face Eiscue can be restored to its Ice Face form once per hailstorm, and will not be restored if the hailstorm has been set up before it changed into its Noice Face form.

This form change persists even when Eiscue is switched out, but resets at the end of the battle.

===Outside of battle===
Ice Face has no effect outside of battle.

'''Weather Ball''' (Japanese: '''ウェザーボール''' ''Weather Ball'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation III]]. Prior to [[Generation IV]], it was the [[signature move]] of {{p|Castform}}. In [[Generation VIII]] it is [[TM46]].

==Effect==
{{MoveResearch|Damage category in shadowy aura}}
When the [[weather]] is clear, Weather Ball is a {{type|Normal}} move. During any type of weather except [[strong winds]], Weather Ball's [[power]] doubles to 100 (type power-ups from the weather will be put into effect in addition to this boost).

Weather Ball's type changes depending on the [[weather]] at the time it is used.
* {{type|Fire}} if it is [[Harsh sunlight|sunny]].
* {{type|Water}} if it is [[rain]]ing.
* {{type|Ice}} if it is {{weather|hail}}ing.
* {{type|Rock}} if there is a {{weather|sandstorm}}.
* {{type|Normal}} if it is [[fog]]gy, if there are [[strong winds]], or there is no special weather condition in effect.
* {{type|???}} if there is a [[shadowy aura]].

Pokémon with {{a|Bulletproof}} are immune to Weather Ball, regardless of the weather.

Weather Ball can also be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], giving the user four extra appeal points if a weather summoning move was used in the prior turn. It is also part of a Contest Spectacular combination, giving the user three extra appeal points if a weather summoning move was used in the prior turn.

===Generation IV===
Weather Ball is affected by {{a|Normalize}}.

===Generation V onwards===
Weather Ball is unaffected by {{a|Normalize}}, {{a|Pixilate}}, {{a|Refrigerate}}, and {{a|Aerilate}}. However, it is affected by {{m|Ion Deluge}} (if the move would be Normal-type) and {{m|Electrify}}.

When used as a [[Z-Move]] with [[Normalium Z]], Weather Ball will be turned into {{m|Breakneck Blitz}}, but then Breakneck Blitz will turn into the Z-Move of the type corresponding to the type Weather Ball would be in that weather. This does not occur if Weather Ball is turned into a Z-Move via another move like {{m|Sleep Talk}}.
The same effect happens when Weather Ball is used as a [[Max Move]], displaying as {{m|Max Strike}} but changing into the appropriate Max Move corresponding to the type Weather Ball would be in the current weather.

In Pokémon GO, Weather Ball is a Charged Attack that has been available since March 30, 2019. Unlike in the core series, Weather Ball's type is fixed and does not depend on the [[weather]]. The game's data instead stores its type variations as separate move entries.

==Trivia==
* Despite Weather Ball becoming a Rock-type move in a {{weather|sandstorm}} and a {{type|???}} move in {{weather|Shadow Sky}}, Castform itself will not change form under these conditions.
* Prior to Generation IV, Weather Ball was one of the only two moves (along with {{m|Hidden Power}}) which could be either physical or special, due to the damage category being determined by the type.

'''G-Max Finale''' (Japanese: '''キョダイダンエン''' ''{{tt|Kyodai|Giganta}} Finale'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Fairy}} [[G-Max Move]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]]. It is the exclusive G-Max Move of [[Gigantamax]] {{p|Alcremie}}.

==Effect==
G-Max Finale inflicts damage to a target and heals the user and its allies by 1/6 of their maximum HP (including the dynamax HP boost). Its [[power]] and whether it is a [[special move|special]] or [[physical move]] depends on the move it is based on.

Utility Umbrella

'''Utility Umbrella''' (Japanese: '''ばんのうがさ''' ''Utility Umbrella'') is a type of [[held item]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

==In the core series games==
===Price===
{{ItemPrice/head|Other Items}}
{{ItemPrice|{{gameabbrev8|SwSh}}|N/A|{{pdollar}}2,000}}
|}
|}

===Effect===
{{AbilityResearch|Does it prevent Sliggoo from evolving? If a Pokémon holds a Utility Umbrella, is it unaffected by its ally's Flower Gift?}}
The Pokémon holding Utility Umbrella is unaffected by effects of [[rain]] and [[harsh sunlight]]. Effects of {{weather|sandstorm}} and {{weather|hail}} work as normal.

The holder's moves and abilities that are affected by rain and sun behave as if there was no weather present. For example, if the holder has {{a|Chlorophyll}} and is in harsh sunlight, it will not have its speed doubled.

{{type|Water}} and {{type|Fire}} moves targeted at the holder will not have their power halved or increased in rain or sun. Moves with a different accuracy in rain or sun, such as {{m|Thunder}}, have their normal accuracy when targeted at the holder. On the other hand, normal weather effects will happen for moves used by the holder. For example, if the holder uses {{m|Scald}} in rain at a target that is not holding another Utility Umbrella, its power will be 1.5×, and so on. Similarly, {{m|Solar Beam}}'s number of turns to charge and power is unaffected by weather if used by a Pokémon holding the Utility Umbrella.<ref name="Smogon Research Thread">https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/sword-shield-battle-mechanics-research.3655528/</ref>

A Pokémon holding the Utility Umbrella can be {{status|frozen}} in harsh sunlight.

Self-targeting moves such as {{m|Growth}} or {{m|Synthesis}} will behave as if no weather is present if used by a Pokémon holding a Utility Umbrella, only boosting stats by 1 stage or healing by 50% respectively.

In rain or sun, the holder's {{m|Weather Ball}} will be {{type|Normal}} and its power will not be doubled, but it will be {{type|Ice}} or {{type|Rock}} with doubled power in hail and sandstorm, respectively, as normal.<ref name="Smogon Research Thread">https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/sword-shield-battle-mechanics-research.3655528/</ref>

Overcast Form {{p|Cherrim}} holding a Utility Umbrella cannot change to Sunshine Form. If a Sunshine Form Cherrim gains the Utility Umbrella (through a move such as {{m|Trick}}), it will immediately change to Overcast Form. Likewise, a Cherrim losing the Utility Umbrella in the sun will immediately change to Sunshine Form.<ref name="Smogon Research Thread">https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/sword-shield-battle-mechanics-research.3655528/</ref>

All sand and hail-related moves, abilities, and effects occurr as normal. For example, {{type|Rock}} Pokémon holding the Utility Umbrella will still get a 50% SpD boost in sand, a holder using {{m|Aurora Veil}} in hail will succeed, and a holder will still take damage at the end of each turn if it isn't the appropriate type. {{a|Ice Face}} is not affected by the Utility Umbrella; if hail starts, Noice Face {{p|Eiscue}} holding a Utility Umbrella will still change to Ice Face Eiscue.

Eject Pack

{{ItemInfobox/BagRowBottom|VIII|Other Items}}
{{ItemInfobox/Fling|50|colorscheme=Other Items}}
|}

The '''Eject Pack''' (Japanese: '''だっしゅつパック''' ''Break-Out Pack'') is a type of consumable [[held item]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]]. It is an [[in-battle effect item]] that switches out the holder if any of its [[Statistic|stats]] are lowered.

==In the core series games==
===Price===
{{ItemPrice/head|Other Items}}
{{ItemPrice|{{gameabbrev8|SwSh}}|N/A|{{pdollar}}2,000}}
|}
|}

===Effect===
If any of the holder's [[Statistic|stats]] is lowered (including by the use of its own moves such as {{m|Overheat}}), the Eject Pack is consumed and the holder automatically [[Recall|switches out]]. Eject Pack will not be consumed or cause a switch if the holder is hit by {{m|Parting Shot}}, since a maximum of one Pokémon can be caused to switch as the result of a single move, and the user of Parting Shot will switch instead. If multiple Eject Packs would trigger during the same attack, only the fastest Pokémon uses theirs.

The Pokémon holding Utility Umbrella is '''only''' unaffected by effects of [[Rain]] and [[Harsh sunlight]]. Effects of [[Sandstorm (weather condition)|Sandstorm]] and [[Hail (weather condition)|Hail]] work as normal.

The holder's moves and abilities that are affected by rain and sun behave as if there was no weather present. For example, if the holder has {{a|Chlorophyll}} and is in harsh sunlight, it will not have its speed doubled.

{{type|Water}} and {{type|Fire}} moves targeted at the holder will not have their power halved or doubled in rain or sun. Moves with a different accuracy in rain or sun, such as {{m|Thunder}}, have their normal accuracy when targeted at the holder. On the other hand, normal weather effects will happen for moves used ''by'' the holder -- for example, if the holder uses {{m|Scald}} in rain at a target that is not holding another Utility Umbrella, its power will be doubled, and so on. Similarly, {{m|Solar Beam}}'s number of turns to charge and power is unaffected by weather if used by a Pokémon holding the Utility Umbrella.<ref name="Smogon Research Thread">https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/sword-shield-battle-mechanics-research.3655528/</ref>

The Utility Umbrella will allow the holder to be frozen in harsh sunlight.

Self-targeting moves such as {{m|Growth}} or {{m|Synthesis}} will behave as if no weather is present if used by a Pokémon holding the Utility Umbrella, only boosting stats by 1 stage or healing by 50% respectively.

In rain or sun, the holder's {{m|Weather Ball}} will be {{type|Normal}} and its power will not be doubled, but it will be {{type|Ice}} or {{type|Rock}} with doubled power in hail and sand, respectively, as normal.<ref name="Smogon Research Thread">https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/sword-shield-battle-mechanics-research.3655528/</ref>

Overcast Form {{p|Cherrim}} holding a Utility Umbrella cannot change to Sunshine Form. If a Sunshine Form Cherrim gains the Utility Umbrella (through a move such as {{m|Trick}}), it will immediately change to Overcast Form. Likewise, a Cherrim losing the Utility Umbrella in the sun will immediately change to Sunshine Form.<ref name="Smogon Research Thread">https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/sword-shield-battle-mechanics-research.3655528/</ref>

All sand and hail-related moves, abilities, and effects occurr as normal. For example, {{type|Rock}} Pokémon holding the Utility Umbrella will still get a 50% SpD boost in sand, a holder using {{m|Aurora Veil}} in hail will succeed, and a holder will still take damage at the end of each turn if it isn't the appropriate type. {{a|Ice Face}} is not affected by the Utility Umbrella; if {{weather|hail}} starts, Noice Face {{p|Eiscue}} holding a Utility Umbrella will still change to Ice Face Eiscue.

'''Protect''' (Japanese: '''まもる''' ''Protect'') is a non-damaging {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation II]]. It was [[TM17]] from Generation II to [[Generation VI]]. It is [[TM07]] in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]. It is [[TM25]] in [[Generation VIII]].

==Effect==
===Generation II===
Protect protects the user from all effects of moves that target it during the turn it is used, including damage.

This does not include damage inflicted by [[weather]] it is susceptible to, or damage from a [[status condition]] that it obtained on a previous turn (as these are not moves that targeted the user this turn). If the user [[priority|goes last]] this turn, the move will fail.

Protect will fail if the user is behind a {{m|substitute}}.

Each time any of Protect, {{m|Detect}}, or {{m|Endure}} is successfully used without other moves used in between, the success rate will halve. In this generation, the success rate is implemented as a single byte over 255 which starts at the maximum of 255 and is floor-divided by 2 each time. This causes the success rate to drop to 0 on its ninth consecutive successful use.<ref>https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/51bad5a/battle/effects/protect.asm#L54-L61</ref>

===Generation III===
Protect can now be used when the user is behind a {{m|substitute}}.

Like in Generation II, the success rates of Protect, {{m|Detect}}, and {{m|Endure}} halve each time any of the three are used successfully and consecutively. In this generation, the halving was intended to cap at a 12.5% success rate on the fourth consecutive successful use, but a bug{{fact}} causes the cap to not work, causing the game to read garbage values and causing Protect's success rate on the fifth and future turns to follow an erratic sequence.<ref>[http://no2.pic.bz/document/waza/each/6F.html ポケットモンスター情報センター　2号館] (Japanese)</ref><ref>[http://www.nicovideo.jp/sm19862416 【ポケモン】TASさんがまもるの限界に挑戦してみた【ルビー】] (Japanese)</ref>

The following success rates are accurate to Ruby and Sapphire; from the 53rd turn onward, FireRed and LeafGreen have a different sequence of values, as does Emerald.<ref>http://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php?topic=6603.0</ref> These numbers represent success rates out of 65536, which means that the move has a 1/65536 chance of missing on the first use.<ref>[http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm19879961 TASさんがまもるの限界に挑戦(裏)] (Japanese)</ref>

Protect can also be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], with the user gaining an extra appeal point if {{m|Harden}} was used in the prior turn.

===Generation IV===
Protect now properly caps at a minimum success rate of 12.5% on the fourth and future consecutive turns.

In {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} only, if an attack is given perfect accuracy through the effect of a move ({{m|Lock-On}}/{{m|Mind Reader}}), the weather ({{m|Thunder}} in [[Rain]], or {{m|Blizzard}} in {{weather|Hail}}), a [[Micle Berry]], or an Ability ({{a|No Guard}}), it has a chance to hit through Protect equal to <code>(100 - move {{stat|accuracy}})%</code>. [[One-hit knockout move|OHKO]] moves are unaffected, and will never hit through Protect. This behavior was reverted in Platinum.

===Generation V===
Protect's success rate no longer has a lower bound of 12.5%. {{m|Quick Guard}} and {{m|Wide Guard}} now also count toward this halving.<ref>[http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3715158&postcount=772 Smogon forums]</ref>


===Generation VI onwards===
Successfully using Protect, {{m|Detect}}, {{m|Endure}}, {{m|Wide Guard}}, {{m|Quick Guard}}, {{m|Spiky Shield}}, {{m|King's Shield}}, or {{m|Baneful Bunker}} consecutively now divides the chance of success of Protect, Detect, Endure, Spiky Shield, King's Shield, and Baneful Bunker by 3 for each consecutive use, with a minimum (1/3)^6 (1/729 or ~0.1%) chance.<ref>https://twitter.com/0x7bdf/status/591858756733931521</ref>

If a damaging [[Z-Move]] or a [[Max Move]] targets a Pokémon that used Protect, the move will bypass Protect but only do 25% of the original damage. The effects of Protect are not lifted.

If powered up by a [[Normalium Z]] into Z-Protect, all of the user's lowered stats are reset.

===Moves that bypass Protect===
In addition to damaging [[Z-Move]]s and [[Max Move]]s, the following moves cannot be stopped by Protect:

Additionally, Feint, Shadow Force, Phantom Force, Hyperspace Fury, and Hyperspace Hole lift Protect's protection for the rest of the turn.

{{cat|Moves that target the user}}, {{cat|moves that target the user and all allies}}, {{cat|moves that target all Pokémon}} (except {{m|Shadow Shed}}, {{m|Shadow Half}}, and {{m|Teatime}}), and [[entry hazard]] moves cannot be blocked by Protect.

[[File:Protect Shield GO.png|thumb|right|150px|Protect Shield in Pokémon GO]]
In [[Pokémon GO]], the '''Protect Shield''' is a feature in {{OBP|Trainer Battle|GO}}s. The Protect Shield is only a mechanic and not actually a move known by any Pokémon. The Protect Shield prevents all damage from an incoming Charged Attack, but the player can only use a Protect Shield twice per battle. Protect Shields do not prevent any stat modifiers, to either the user or the target, from occurring as a result of a Charged Attack.
{{-}}

===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]===
The user is protected from all attacks for a set amount of turns, which ends on the user's turn. However, items such as [[toss items]] can still hit.

===Description===
{{movedesc|normal}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrevmd|RB}}|The user gains the Protect status, preventing damage from enemy attacks and moves.}}

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation II]], after the "[Pokémon's name] protected itself!" message appears, there is another message saying that the opponent's move missed. This is caused by Protect's effect internally leading moves with an accuracy check to miss, and was changed in [[Generation III]] to omit the second message.
* Protect is the most common move among the movesets of Video Game World Championships team's winners.

'''Protect''' (Japanese: '''まもる''' ''Protect'') is a non-damaging {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation II]]. It was [[TM17]] from Generation II to [[Generation VI]]. It is [[TM07]] in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]. It is [[TM25]] in [[Generation VIII]].

==Effect==
===Generation II===
Protect protects the user from all effects of moves that target it during the turn it is used, including damage.

This does not include damage inflicted by [[weather]] it is susceptible to, or damage from a [[status condition]] that it obtained on a previous turn (as these are not moves that targeted the user this turn). If the user [[priority|goes last]] this turn, the move will fail.

Protect will fail if the user is behind a {{m|substitute}}.

Each time any of Protect, {{m|Detect}}, or {{m|Endure}} is successfully used without other moves used in between, the success rate will halve. In this generation, the success rate is implemented as a single byte over 255 which starts at the maximum of 255 and is floor-divided by 2 each time. This causes the success rate to drop to 0 on its ninth consecutive successful use.<ref>https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/51bad5a/battle/effects/protect.asm#L54-L61</ref>

===Generation III===
Protect can now be used when the user is behind a {{m|substitute}}.

Like in Generation II, the success rates of Protect, {{m|Detect}}, and {{m|Endure}} halve each time any of the three are used successfully and consecutively. In this generation, the halving was intended to cap at a 12.5% success rate on the fourth consecutive successful use, but a bug{{fact}} causes the cap to not work, causing the game to read garbage values and causing Protect's success rate on the fifth and future turns to follow an erratic sequence.<ref>[http://no2.pic.bz/document/waza/each/6F.html ポケットモンスター情報センター　2号館] (Japanese)</ref><ref>[http://www.nicovideo.jp/sm19862416 【ポケモン】TASさんがまもるの限界に挑戦してみた【ルビー】] (Japanese)</ref>

The following success rates are accurate to Ruby and Sapphire; from the 53rd turn onward, FireRed and LeafGreen have a different sequence of values, as does Emerald.<ref>http://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php?topic=6603.0</ref> These numbers represent success rates out of 65536, which means that the move has a 1/65536 chance of missing on the first use.<ref>[http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm19879961 TASさんがまもるの限界に挑戦(裏)] (Japanese)</ref>

Protect can also be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], with the user gaining an extra appeal point if {{m|Harden}} was used in the prior turn.

===Generation IV===
Protect now properly caps at a minimum success rate of 12.5% on the fourth and future consecutive turns.

In {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} only, if an attack is given perfect accuracy through the effect of a move ({{m|Lock-On}}/{{m|Mind Reader}}), the weather ({{m|Thunder}} in [[Rain]], or {{m|Blizzard}} in {{weather|Hail}}), a [[Micle Berry]], or an Ability ({{a|No Guard}}), it has a chance to hit through Protect equal to <code>(100 - move {{stat|accuracy}})%</code>. [[One-hit knockout move|OHKO]] moves are unaffected, and will never hit through Protect. This behavior was reverted in Platinum.

===Generation V===
Protect's success rate no longer has a lower bound of 12.5%. {{m|Quick Guard}} and {{m|Wide Guard}} now also count toward this halving.<ref>[http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3715158&postcount=772 Smogon forums]</ref>


===Generation VI onwards===
Successfully using Protect, {{m|Detect}}, {{m|Endure}}, {{m|Wide Guard}}, {{m|Quick Guard}}, {{m|Spiky Shield}}, {{m|King's Shield}}, or {{m|Baneful Bunker}} consecutively now divides the chance of success of Protect, Detect, Endure, Spiky Shield, King's Shield, and Baneful Bunker by 3 for each consecutive use, with a minimum (1/3)^6 (1/729 or ~0.1%) chance.<ref>https://twitter.com/0x7bdf/status/591858756733931521</ref>

If a damaging [[Z-Move]] or a [[Max Move]] targets a Pokémon that used Protect, the move will bypass Protect but only do 25% of the original damage. The effects of Protect are not lifted.

If powered up by a [[Normalium Z]] into Z-Protect, all of the user's lowered stats are reset.

===Moves that bypass Protect===
In addition to damaging [[Z-Move]]s and [[Max Move]]s, the following moves cannot be stopped by Protect:

[[File:Protect Shield GO.png|thumb|right|150px|Protect Shield in Pokémon GO]]
In [[Pokémon GO]], the '''Protect Shield''' is a feature in {{OBP|Trainer Battle|GO}}s. The Protect Shield is only a mechanic and not actually a move known by any Pokémon. The Protect Shield prevents all damage from an incoming Charged Attack, but the player can only use a Protect Shield twice per battle. Protect Shields do not prevent any stat modifiers, to either the user or the target, from occurring as a result of a Charged Attack.
{{-}}

===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]===
The user is protected from all attacks for a set amount of turns, which ends on the user's turn. However, items such as [[toss items]] can still hit.

===Description===
{{movedesc|normal}}

{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrevmd|GTI}}|You'll get the Protect status, which enables you to evade enemies' attacks and move effects. Its chance of failing rises if you use it multiple times in a row.}}

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation II]], after the "[Pokémon's name] protected itself!" message appears, there is another message saying that the opponent's move missed. This is caused by Protect's effect internally leading moves with an accuracy check to miss, and was changed in [[Generation III]] to omit the second message.
* Protect is the most common move among the movesets of Video Game World Championships team's winners.

'''Protect''' (Japanese: '''まもる''' ''Protect'') is a non-damaging {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation II]]. It was [[TM17]] from Generation II to [[Generation VI]]. It is [[TM07]] in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]. It is [[TM25]] in [[Generation VIII]].

==Effect==
===Generation II===
Protect protects the user from all effects of moves that target it during the turn it is used, including damage.

This does not include damage inflicted by [[weather]] it is susceptible to, or damage from a [[status condition]] that it obtained on a previous turn (as these are not moves that targeted the user this turn). If the user [[priority|goes last]] this turn, the move will fail.

Protect will fail if the user is behind a {{m|substitute}}.

Each time any of Protect, {{m|Detect}}, or {{m|Endure}} is successfully used without other moves used in between, the success rate will halve. In this generation, the success rate is implemented as a single byte over 255 which starts at the maximum of 255 and is floor-divided by 2 each time. This causes the success rate to drop to 0 on its ninth consecutive successful use.<ref>https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/51bad5a/battle/effects/protect.asm#L54-L61</ref>

===Generation III===
Protect can now be used when the user is behind a {{m|substitute}}.

Like in Generation II, the success rates of Protect, {{m|Detect}}, and {{m|Endure}} halve each time any of the three are used successfully and consecutively. In this generation, the halving was intended to cap at a 12.5% success rate on the fourth consecutive successful use, but a bug{{fact}} causes the cap to not work, causing the game to read garbage values and causing Protect's success rate on the fifth and future turns to follow an erratic sequence.<ref>[http://no2.pic.bz/document/waza/each/6F.html ポケットモンスター情報センター　2号館] (Japanese)</ref><ref>[http://www.nicovideo.jp/sm19862416 【ポケモン】TASさんがまもるの限界に挑戦してみた【ルビー】] (Japanese)</ref>

The following success rates are accurate to Ruby and Sapphire; from the 53rd turn onward, FireRed and LeafGreen have a different sequence of values, as does Emerald.<ref>http://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php?topic=6603.0</ref> These numbers represent success rates out of 65536, which means that the move has a 1/65536 chance of missing on the first use.<ref>[http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm19879961 TASさんがまもるの限界に挑戦(裏)] (Japanese)</ref>

Protect can also be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], with the user gaining an extra appeal point if {{m|Harden}} was used in the prior turn.

===Generation IV===
Protect now properly caps at a minimum success rate of 12.5% on the fourth and future consecutive turns.

In {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} only, if an attack is given perfect accuracy through the effect of a move ({{m|Lock-On}}/{{m|Mind Reader}}), the weather ({{m|Thunder}} in [[Rain]], or {{m|Blizzard}} in {{weather|Hail}}), a [[Micle Berry]], or an Ability ({{a|No Guard}}), it has a chance to hit through Protect equal to <code>(100 - move {{stat|accuracy}})%</code>. [[One-hit knockout move|OHKO]] moves are unaffected, and will never hit through Protect. This behavior was reverted in Platinum.

===Generation V===
Protect's success rate no longer has a lower bound of 12.5%. {{m|Quick Guard}} and {{m|Wide Guard}} now also count toward this halving.<ref>[http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3715158&postcount=772 Smogon forums]</ref>


===Generation VI onwards===
Successfully using Protect, {{m|Detect}}, {{m|Endure}}, {{m|Wide Guard}}, {{m|Quick Guard}}, {{m|Spiky Shield}}, {{m|King's Shield}}, or {{m|Baneful Bunker}} consecutively now divides the chance of success of Protect, Detect, Endure, Spiky Shield, King's Shield, and Baneful Bunker by 3 for each consecutive use, with a minimum (1/3)^6 (1/729 or ~0.1%) chance.<ref>https://twitter.com/0x7bdf/status/591858756733931521</ref>

If a damaging [[Z-Move]] or a [[Max Move]] targets a Pokémon that used Protect, the move will bypass Protect but only do 25% of the original damage. The effects of Protect are not lifted.

If powered up by a [[Normalium Z]] into Z-Protect, all of the user's lowered stats are reset.

===Moves that bypass Protect===
In addition to damaging [[Z-Move]]s and [[Max Move]]s, the following moves cannot be stopped by Protect:

Additionally, Feint, Shadow Force, Phantom Force, Hyperspace Fury, and Hyperspace Hole lift Protect's protection for the rest of the turn.

{{cat|Moves that target the user}}, {{cat|moves that target the user and all allies}}, {{cat|moves that target all Pokémon}} (except {{m|Shadow Shed}} and {{m|Shadow Half}}), and [[entry hazard]] moves cannot be blocked by Protect.

[[File:Protect Shield GO.png|thumb|right|150px|Protect Shield in Pokémon GO]]
In [[Pokémon GO]], the '''Protect Shield''' is a feature in {{OBP|Trainer Battle|GO}}s. The Protect Shield is only a mechanic and not actually a move known by any Pokémon. The Protect Shield prevents all damage from an incoming Charged Attack, but the player can only use a Protect Shield twice per battle. Protect Shields do not prevent any stat modifiers, to either the user or the target, from occurring as a result of a Charged Attack.
{{-}}

===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]===
The user is protected from all attacks for a set amount of turns, which ends on the user's turn. However, items such as [[toss items]] can still hit.

===Description===
{{movedesc|normal}}

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation II]], after the "[Pokémon's name] protected itself!" message appears, there is another message saying that the opponent's move missed. This is caused by Protect's effect internally leading moves with an accuracy check to miss, and was changed in [[Generation III]] to omit the second message.
* Protect is the most common move among the movesets of Video Game World Championships team's winners.

'''Protect''' (Japanese: '''まもる''' ''Protect'') is a non-damaging {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation II]]. It was [[TM17]] from Generation II to [[Generation VI]]. It is [[TM07]] in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]. It is [[TM25]] in [[Generation VIII]].

==Effect==
===Generation II===
Protect protects the user from all effects of moves that target it during the turn it is used, including damage.

This does not include damage inflicted by [[weather]] it is susceptible to, or damage from a [[status condition]] that it obtained on a previous turn (as these are not moves that targeted the user this turn). If the user [[priority|goes last]] this turn, the move will fail.

Protect will fail if the user is behind a {{m|substitute}}.

Each time any of Protect, {{m|Detect}}, or {{m|Endure}} is successfully used without other moves used in between, the success rate will halve. In this generation, the success rate is implemented as a single byte over 255 which starts at the maximum of 255 and is floor-divided by 2 each time. This causes the success rate to drop to 0 on its ninth consecutive successful use.<ref>https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/51bad5a/battle/effects/protect.asm#L54-L61</ref>

===Generation III===
Protect can now be used when the user is behind a {{m|substitute}}.

Like in Generation II, the success rates of Protect, {{m|Detect}}, and {{m|Endure}} halve each time any of the three are used successfully and consecutively. In this generation, the halving was intended to cap at a 12.5% success rate on the fourth consecutive successful use, but a bug{{fact}} causes the cap to not work, causing the game to read garbage values and causing Protect's success rate on the fifth and future turns to follow an erratic sequence.<ref>[http://no2.pic.bz/document/waza/each/6F.html ポケットモンスター情報センター　2号館] (Japanese)</ref><ref>[http://www.nicovideo.jp/sm19862416 【ポケモン】TASさんがまもるの限界に挑戦してみた【ルビー】] (Japanese)</ref>

The following success rates are accurate to Ruby and Sapphire; from the 53rd turn onward, FireRed and LeafGreen have a different sequence of values, as does Emerald.<ref>http://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php?topic=6603.0</ref> These numbers represent success rates out of 65536, which means that the move has a 1/65536 chance of missing on the first use.<ref>[http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm19879961 TASさんがまもるの限界に挑戦(裏)] (Japanese)</ref>

Protect can also be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], with the user gaining an extra appeal point if {{m|Harden}} was used in the prior turn.

===Generation IV===
Protect now properly caps at a minimum success rate of 12.5% on the fourth and future consecutive turns.

In {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} only, if an attack is given perfect accuracy through the effect of a move ({{m|Lock-On}}/{{m|Mind Reader}}), the weather ({{m|Thunder}} in [[Rain]], or {{m|Blizzard}} in {{weather|Hail}}), a [[Micle Berry]], or an Ability ({{a|No Guard}}), it has a chance to hit through Protect equal to <code>(100 - move {{stat|accuracy}})%</code>. [[One-hit knockout move|OHKO]] moves are unaffected, and will never hit through Protect. This behavior was reverted in Platinum.

===Generation V===
Protect's success rate no longer has a lower bound of 12.5%. {{m|Quick Guard}} and {{m|Wide Guard}} now also count toward this halving.<ref>[http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3715158&postcount=772 Smogon forums]</ref>


===Generation VI onwards===
Successfully using Protect, {{m|Detect}}, {{m|Endure}}, {{m|Wide Guard}}, {{m|Quick Guard}}, {{m|Spiky Shield}}, {{m|King's Shield}}, or {{m|Baneful Bunker}} consecutively now divides the chance of success of Protect, Detect, Endure, Spiky Shield, King's Shield, and Baneful Bunker by 3 for each consecutive use, with a minimum (1/3)^6 (1/729 or ~0.1%) chance.<ref>https://twitter.com/0x7bdf/status/591858756733931521</ref>

If a damaging [[Z-Move]] or a [[Max Move]] targets a Pokémon that used Protect, the move will bypass Protect but only do 25% of the original damage. The effects of Protect are not lifted.

If powered up by a [[Normalium Z]] into Z-Protect, all of the user's lowered stats are reset.

===Moves that bypass Protect===
In addition to damaging [[Z-Move]]s, the following moves cannot be stopped by Protect:

[[File:Protect Shield GO.png|thumb|right|150px|Protect Shield in Pokémon GO]]
In [[Pokémon GO]], the '''Protect Shield''' is a feature in {{OBP|Trainer Battle|GO}}s. The Protect Shield is only a mechanic and not actually a move known by any Pokémon. The Protect Shield prevents all damage from an incoming Charged Attack, but the player can only use a Protect Shield twice per battle. Protect Shields do not prevent any stat modifiers, to either the user or the target, from occurring as a result of a Charged Attack.
{{-}}

===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]===
The user is protected from all attacks for a set amount of turns, which ends on the user's turn. However, items such as [[toss items]] can still hit.

===Description===
{{movedesc|normal}}

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation II]], after the "[Pokémon's name] protected itself!" message appears, there is another message saying that the opponent's move missed. This is caused by Protect's effect internally leading moves with an accuracy check to miss, and was changed in [[Generation III]] to omit the second message.
* Protect is the most common move among the movesets of Video Game World Championships team's winners.

'''Protect''' (Japanese: '''まもる''' ''Protect'') is a non-damaging {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation II]]. It was [[TM17]] from Generation II to [[Generation VI]]. It is [[TM07]] in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]. It is [[TM25]] in [[Generation VIII]].

==Effect==
===Generation II===
Protect protects the user from all effects of moves that target it during the turn it is used, including damage.

This does not include damage inflicted by [[weather]] it is susceptible to, or damage from a [[status condition]] that it obtained on a previous turn (as these are not moves that targeted the user this turn). If the user [[priority|goes last]] this turn, the move will fail.

Protect will fail if the user is behind a {{m|substitute}}.

Each time any of Protect, {{m|Detect}}, or {{m|Endure}} is successfully used without other moves used in between, the success rate will halve. In this generation, the success rate is implemented as a single byte over 255 which starts at the maximum of 255 and is floor-divided by 2 each time. This causes the success rate to drop to 0 on its ninth consecutive successful use.<ref>https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/51bad5a/battle/effects/protect.asm#L54-L61</ref>

===Generation III===
Protect can now be used when the user is behind a {{m|substitute}}.

Like in Generation II, the success rates of Protect, {{m|Detect}}, and {{m|Endure}} halve each time any of the three are used successfully and consecutively. In this generation, the halving was intended to cap at a 12.5% success rate on the fourth consecutive successful use, but a bug{{fact}} causes the cap to not work, causing the game to read garbage values and causing Protect's success rate on the fifth and future turns to follow an erratic sequence.<ref>[http://no2.pic.bz/document/waza/each/6F.html ポケットモンスター情報センター　2号館] (Japanese)</ref><ref>[http://www.nicovideo.jp/sm19862416 【ポケモン】TASさんがまもるの限界に挑戦してみた【ルビー】] (Japanese)</ref>

The following success rates are accurate to Ruby and Sapphire; from the 53rd turn onward, FireRed and LeafGreen have a different sequence of values, as does Emerald.<ref>http://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php?topic=6603.0</ref> These numbers represent success rates out of 65536, which means that the move has a 1/65536 chance of missing on the first use.<ref>[http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm19879961 TASさんがまもるの限界に挑戦(裏)] (Japanese)</ref>

Protect can also be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], with the user gaining an extra appeal point if {{m|Harden}} was used in the prior turn.

===Generation IV===
Protect now properly caps at a minimum success rate of 12.5% on the fourth and future consecutive turns.

In {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} only, if an attack is given perfect accuracy through the effect of a move ({{m|Lock-On}}/{{m|Mind Reader}}), the weather ({{m|Thunder}} in [[Rain]], or {{m|Blizzard}} in {{weather|Hail}}), a [[Micle Berry]], or an Ability ({{a|No Guard}}), it has a chance to hit through Protect equal to <code>(100 - move {{stat|accuracy}})%</code>. [[One-hit knockout move|OHKO]] moves are unaffected, and will never hit through Protect. This behavior was reverted in Platinum.

===Generation V===
Protect's success rate no longer has a lower bound of 12.5%. {{m|Quick Guard}} and {{m|Wide Guard}} now also count toward this halving.<ref>[http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3715158&postcount=772 Smogon forums]</ref>


===Generation VI onwards===
Successfully using Protect, {{m|Detect}}, {{m|Endure}}, {{m|Wide Guard}}, {{m|Quick Guard}}, {{m|Spiky Shield}}, {{m|King's Shield}}, or {{m|Baneful Bunker}} consecutively now divides the chance of success of Protect, Detect, Endure, Spiky Shield, King's Shield, and Baneful Bunker by 3 for each consecutive use, with a minimum (1/3)^6 (1/729 or ~0.1%) chance.<ref>https://twitter.com/0x7bdf/status/591858756733931521</ref>

If a damaging [[Z-Move]] or a [[Max Move]] targets a Pokémon that used Protect, the move will bypass Protect but only do 25% of the original damage. The effects of Protect are not lifted.

If powered up by a [[Normalium Z]] into Z-Protect, all of the user's lowered stats are reset.

===Moves that bypass Protect===
In addition to damaging [[Z-Move]]s, the following moves cannot be stopped by Protect:

Additionally, Feint, Shadow Force, Phantom Force, Hyperspace Fury, and Hyperspace Hole lift Protect's protection for the rest of the turn.

{{cat|Moves that target the user}}, {{cat|moves that target the user and all allies}}, {{cat|moves that target all Pokémon}} (except {{m|Shadow Shed}} and {{m|Shadow Half}}), and [[entry hazard]] moves cannot be blocked by Protect.

[[File:Protect Shield GO.png|thumb|right|150px|Protect Shield in Pokémon GO]]
In [[Pokémon GO]], the '''Protect Shield''' is a feature in {{OBP|Trainer Battle|GO}}s. The Protect Shield is only a mechanic and not actually a move known by any Pokémon. The Protect Shield prevents all damage from an incoming Charged Attack, but the player can only use a Protect Shield twice per battle. Protect Shields do not prevent any stat modifiers, to either the user or the target, from occurring as a result of a Charged Attack.
{{-}}

===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]===
The user is protected from all attacks for a set amount of turns, which ends on the user's turn. However, items such as [[toss items]] can still hit.

===Description===
{{movedesc|normal}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrevmd|RB}}|The user gains the Protect status, preventing damage from enemy attacks and moves.}}

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation II]], after the "[Pokémon's name] protected itself!" message appears, there is another message saying that the opponent's move missed. This is caused by Protect's effect internally leading moves with an accuracy check to miss, and was changed in [[Generation III]] to omit the second message.
* Protect is the most common move among the movesets of Video Game World Championships team's winners.

'''Protect''' (Japanese: '''まもる''' ''Protect'') is a non-damaging {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation II]]. It was [[TM17]] from Generation II to [[Generation VI]]. It is [[TM07]] in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]. It is [[TM25]] in [[Generation VIII]].

==Effect==
===Generation II===
Protect protects the user from all effects of moves that target it during the turn it is used, including damage.

This does not include damage inflicted by [[weather]] it is susceptible to, or damage from a [[status condition]] that it obtained on a previous turn (as these are not moves that targeted the user this turn). If the user [[priority|goes last]] this turn, the move will fail.

Protect will fail if the user is behind a {{m|substitute}}.

Each time any of Protect, {{m|Detect}}, or {{m|Endure}} is successfully used without other moves used in between, the success rate will halve. In this generation, the success rate is implemented as a single byte over 255 which starts at the maximum of 255 and is floor-divided by 2 each time. This causes the success rate to drop to 0 on its ninth consecutive successful use.<ref>https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/51bad5a/battle/effects/protect.asm#L54-L61</ref>

===Generation III===
Protect can now be used when the user is behind a {{m|substitute}}.

Like in Generation II, the success rates of Protect, {{m|Detect}}, and {{m|Endure}} halve each time any of the three are used successfully and consecutively. In this generation, the halving was intended to cap at a 12.5% success rate on the fourth consecutive successful use, but a bug{{fact}} causes the cap to not work, causing the game to read garbage values and causing Protect's success rate on the fifth and future turns to follow an erratic sequence.<ref>[http://no2.pic.bz/document/waza/each/6F.html ポケットモンスター情報センター　2号館] (Japanese)</ref><ref>[http://www.nicovideo.jp/sm19862416 【ポケモン】TASさんがまもるの限界に挑戦してみた【ルビー】] (Japanese)</ref>

The following success rates are accurate to Ruby and Sapphire; from the 53rd turn onward, FireRed and LeafGreen have a different sequence of values, as does Emerald.<ref>http://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php?topic=6603.0</ref> These numbers represent success rates out of 65536, which means that the move has a 1/65536 chance of missing on the first use.<ref>[http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm19879961 TASさんがまもるの限界に挑戦(裏)] (Japanese)</ref>

Protect can also be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], with the user gaining an extra appeal point if {{m|Harden}} was used in the prior turn.

===Generation IV===
Protect now properly caps at a minimum success rate of 12.5% on the fourth and future consecutive turns.

In {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} only, if an attack is given perfect accuracy through the effect of a move ({{m|Lock-On}}/{{m|Mind Reader}}), the weather ({{m|Thunder}} in [[Rain]], or {{m|Blizzard}} in {{weather|Hail}}), a [[Micle Berry]], or an Ability ({{a|No Guard}}), it has a chance to hit through Protect equal to <code>(100 - move {{stat|accuracy}})%</code>. [[One-hit knockout move|OHKO]] moves are unaffected, and will never hit through Protect. This behavior was reverted in Platinum.

===Generation V===
Protect's success rate no longer has a lower bound of 12.5%. {{m|Quick Guard}} and {{m|Wide Guard}} now also count toward this halving.<ref>[http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3715158&postcount=772 Smogon forums]</ref>


===Generation VI onwards===
Successfully using Protect, {{m|Detect}}, {{m|Endure}}, {{m|Wide Guard}}, {{m|Quick Guard}}, {{m|Spiky Shield}}, {{m|King's Shield}}, or {{m|Baneful Bunker}} consecutively now divides the chance of success of Protect, Detect, Endure, Spiky Shield, King's Shield, and Baneful Bunker by 3 for each consecutive use, with a minimum (1/3)^6 (1/729 or ~0.1%) chance.<ref>https://twitter.com/0x7bdf/status/591858756733931521</ref>

If a damaging [[Z-Move]] or a [[Max Move]] targets a Pokémon that used Protect, the move will bypass Protect but only do 25% of the original damage. The effects of Protect are not lifted.

If powered up by a [[Normalium Z]] into Z-Protect, all of the user's lowered stats are reset.

===Moves that bypass Protect===
In addition to damaging [[Z-Move]]s, the following moves cannot be stopped by Protect:

Additionally, Feint, Shadow Force, Phantom Force, Hyperspace Fury, and Hyperspace Hole lift Protect's protection for the rest of the turn.

{{cat|Moves that target the user}}, {{cat|moves that target the user and all allies}}, {{cat|moves that target all Pokémon}} (except {{m|Shadow Shed}} and {{m|Shadow Half}}), and [[entry hazard]] moves cannot be blocked by Protect.

[[File:Protect Shield GO.png|thumb|right|150px|Protect Shield in Pokémon GO]]
In [[Pokémon GO]], the '''Protect Shield''' is a feature in {{OBP|Trainer Battle|GO}}s. The Protect Shield is only a mechanic and not actually a move known by any Pokémon. The Protect Shield prevents all damage from an incoming Charged Attack, but the player can only use a Protect Shield twice per battle. Protect Shields do not prevent any stat modifiers, to either the user or the target, from occurring as a result of a Charged Attack.
{{-}}

===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]===
The user is protected from all attacks for a set amount of turns, which ends on the user's turn. However, items such as [[toss items]] can still hit.

===Description===
{{movedesc|normal}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrevmd|RB}}|The user gains the Protect status, preventing damage from enemy attacks and moves.}}

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation II]], after the "[Pokémon's name] protected itself!" message appears, there is another message saying that the opponent's move missed. This is caused by Protect's effect internally leading moves with an accuracy check to miss, and was changed in [[Generation III]] to omit the second message.
* Protect is the most common move among the movesets of Video Game World Championships team's winners.

Fossil

2020-03-04T13:00:07Z

Pyritie: /* Generation VIII */

{{samename|the TCG set|Fossil (TCG)}}
----
A '''Fossil''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|化石|カセキ}}''' ''Fossil'') is a trace or piece of an organism from the past, such as a skeleton, shell, or leaf, preserved in the earth.

In the [[Pokémon world]], Fossils of prehistoric Pokémon are [[item]]s which can be revived into living Pokémon using techniques developed by the [[Devon Corporation]] and a research laboratory on [[Cinnabar Island]]. The two institutions purportedly developed their techniques independently of each other at around the same time. There are also other scientists around the Pokémon world who can revive Fossils using these techniques.

Pokémon revived from Fossils are commonly called Fossil Pokémon.

==In the games==
Scientists who can revive Fossils can be found in every [[core series]] game except the [[Generation II]] games.
* [[Kanto]]: [[Cinnabar Lab]]{{sup/1|RBY}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}{{sup/7|PE}} or [[Pewter Museum of Science]]{{sup/4|HGSS}}
* [[Hoenn]]: [[Devon Corporation]]
* [[Sinnoh]]: [[Oreburgh Mining Museum]]
* [[Unova]]: {{DL|Nacrene City|Nacrene Museum}}
* [[Kalos]]: [[Ambrette Town#Fossil Lab|Ambrette Fossil Lab]]
* [[Alola]]: {{DL|Alola Route 8|Fossil Restoration Center}}
* [[Galar]]: {{rt|6|Galar}}

Prior to Generation IV, Fossils were Key Items. However, from Generation IV and on, they are normal items, meaning that they can be traded freely between games. The table below summarizes the natural availability of the Fossils in the core series games.

In the games, relatively few [[Pokémon Trainer]]s possess Pokémon revived from Fossils, since they are considered rare and difficult to obtain.

===[[Generation I]]===
In {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, the first three Fossils were introduced. They have also appeared in most of the later games. They can be resurrected into these respective Pokémon:

{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background:#{{kanto color dark}}; border:5px solid #{{kanto color}}"
|-

| style="background:#{{flying color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|{{flying color dark}}|Old Amber|Old Amber}}
|}

The Helix and Dome Fossils are chosen at the end of [[Mt. Moon]], being guarded by a Super Nerd, but the player may only choose one to keep. The other one that the Super Nerd takes will be revived and put on display in the Safari Zone. The Old Amber is located in the secret part of the [[Pewter Museum of Science]], which can only be accessed with [[HM01]] Cut.

A scientist in the Pokémon Lab on [[Cinnabar Island]] can revive the Fossils. The resulting Pokémon are level 30.

During this generation (and their [[Generation III]] {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|remakes|s}}), all Fossils are Key Items, and cannot be traded to other games to be revived.

[[Lance]] is the first Trainer to be seen with a Fossil Pokémon, possessing an Aerodactyl due to its {{t|Dragon|draconic}} appearance.

===[[Generation II]]===
No new Fossils were introduced in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, and these games have no means by which to revive or acquire Fossils. However, {{p|Omanyte}}, {{p|Kabuto}}, and {{p|Aerodactyl}} are prominently featured in the puzzles located at [[Ruins of Alph]]. Of the three, only Aerodactyl is actually obtainable in the games via an in-game [[trade]] with an NPC in Kanto (for {{p|Chansey}}). Omanyte and Kabuto must be traded from Generation I.

[[Lance]], who is now the [[Pokémon Champion]], continues to have an Aerodactyl on his team. In addition, [[Brock]], being a Fossil enthusiast, has an {{p|Omastar}} and a {{p|Kabutops}} in this generation's games, as well as the [[Pokémon Stadium series|Stadium games]] in [[Gym Leader Castle]]. His fondness of Fossils is referenced again in the next generation of games when a man in [[Mt. Moon]] mentions that Brock helps excavate Fossils at the location, which implies that he excavated Omastar and Kabutops's Fossils himself.

===[[Generation III]]===
In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, two new Fossils were introduced. They can be resurrected into these respective Pokémon:

{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background:#{{hoenn color dark}}; border:5px solid #{{hoenn color}}"
|-
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Root Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|345|Lileep}}
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Claw Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|347|Anorith}}
|-
| style="background:#{{grass color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|{{grass color dark}}|Root Fossil}}
| style="background:#{{bug color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|{{bug color dark}}|Claw Fossil}}
|}

In Ruby and Sapphire, the player can choose one of either the Root or Claw Fossils at {{rt|111|Hoenn}}, and upon choosing, the other will sink away into the sand. In Emerald, however, while the player can only choose one initially at the [[Mirage Tower]], they can retrieve the other later at the end of the [[Desert Underpass]]. In the Generation I remakes, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the player can obtain the same Fossils as in the original games: either the Helix or the Dome Fossil, and the Old Amber.

Additionally, {{p|Relicanth}} is also an ancient Pokémon which is partially Rock-type, and it can be considered a {{wp|living fossil}}. However, since it survived extinction for approximately a hundred million years and can be caught in the wild instead of being revived from a Fossil, it is rarely included in the Fossil Pokémon group.

[[Steven Stone]], a rock collector whose father is head of the Devon Corporation, has two Fossil Pokémon, {{p|Cradily}} and {{p|Armaldo}}. In {{v2|Emerald}}, [[Roxanne]] will eventually gain a Kabutops, an Omastar, and an Aerodactyl for her team. Also, in FireRed and LeafGreen, Lance continues to have Aerodactyl on his team.

In {{g|Colosseum}}'s Story Mode, various characters use the [[Hoenn]] Fossils, as well as Relicanth. The most famous of these users are [[Miror B.]] and [[Gonzap]], each of whom at some point has an Armaldo on his team. In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], this relative ubiquity is cut considerably, with Lileep, Anorith, Cradily, and Armaldo only appearing once. With that said, Relicanth deserves special mention as a member of [[Zook]]'s team, while an Aerodactyl will appear on [[Greevil]]'s team once his [[Shadow Pokémon]] have been Snagged.

FireRed and LeafGreen Fossils are obtained the same way as in Generation I, while Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald Fossils may be revived by a scientist in the [[Devon Corporation]] building in [[Rustboro City]]. Newly resurrected Pokémon are level 20 in Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald and level 5 in FireRed and LeafGreen.

===[[Generation IV]]===
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, two new Fossils were again introduced:

{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background:#{{sinnoh color dark}}; border:5px solid #{{sinnoh color}}"
|-
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Skull Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|408|Cranidos}}
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Armor Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|410|Shieldon}}
|-
| style="background:#{{rock color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|{{rock color dark}}|Skull Fossil}}
| style="background:#{{steel color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|{{steel color dark}}|Armor Fossil}}
|}

These Fossils can be turned into level 20 Pokémon at the [[Oreburgh Mining Museum]].

In Diamond and Pearl, for the first time in the series, the Fossils the player is able to receive are dependent on the version played: Skull Fossils are available in Diamond only and Armor Fossils in Pearl only. In Platinum, whichever Fossil a player digs up will depend on whether the Trainer ID is even or odd. If the Trainer ID is even, the player will dig up Armor Fossils only, and if the Trainer ID is odd, the player will dig up Skull Fossils only.

In [[Sinnoh]], when players travel [[the Underground|underground]], they can find most of the Fossils by digging, along with several other rare items, potentially. After getting the [[National Pokédex]], they can also find the five Fossils from the previous three generations. However, the chances of finding most of the previous generation Fossils, much like with several other items, follows a similar formula to the Sinnoh Fossils. This makes it easier to find certain Fossils which are found uncommonly, while the others become more difficult in the opposite version which instead are found very rarely. For example, the Helix and Claw Fossils have an easier chance to be found if the Skull Fossil is available, or the Dome and Root Fossil if the Armor Fossil is available. The Old Amber is the only Fossil whose ratio remains unchanged regardless of version as it will always be found rarely.

In [[Johto]]'s [[Generation IV]] games, the [[Dome Fossil|Dome]]{{sup/4|SS}} and [[Helix Fossil|Helix]]{{sup/4|HG}} Fossils as well as the [[Old Amber]] can be found randomly by smashing [[breakable rock]]s outside [[Ruins of Alph]]. [[Root Fossil|Root]]{{sup/4|SS}} and [[Claw Fossil|Claw]]{{sup/4|HG}} Fossils can be found randomly by smashing [[breakable rock]]s in the [[Cliff Cave]] after entering the [[Hall of Fame]]. Fossils found in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} can be revived as level 20 Pokémon at the [[Pewter Museum of Science]]. The Skull and Armor Fossils are absent from both games, so either they, or the Pokémon revived from them, must be transferred from Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum.

In this generation, Fossils are considered to be normal items. As such, they can be held by a Pokémon and traded to another game.

[[Roark]] has a Cranidos, while his father, [[Byron]], has a {{p|Bastiodon}}. {{p|Rampardos}} and Shieldon are also used by two minor Trainers. In the post-Elite Four stage of the games, {{p|Aerodactyl}} can be spotted with another Trainer.

As in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, [[Brock]] has an {{p|Omastar}} and a {{p|Kabutops}} on his team in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} and also uses a Rampardos in rematches. [[Lance]] continues to have Aerodactyl on his initial team, but it is not used in rematches.

===[[Generation V]]===
{{game|Black and White|s}} once again brought a new set of Fossils to the Pokémon world:

{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background:#{{unova color dark}}; border:5px solid #{{unova color}}"
|-
| width="120px" style="background:#{{water color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Cover Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|564|Tirtouga}}
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Plume Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|566|Archen}}
|-
| style="background:#{{rock color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|{{rock color dark}}|Cover Fossil}}
| style="background:#{{flying color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|{{flying color dark}}|Plume Fossil}}
|}

These Fossils can be revived into level 25 Pokémon using a machine in the [[Nacrene City]] Museum.

In Pokémon Black and White, one of these two Fossils will be given away by a person in [[Relic Castle]], similar to how the Helix and Dome Fossils are originally obtained in the Kanto-based games.

In the [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|sequels]] to these games, the fossils are instead given away by former Gym Leader [[Lenora]].

In [[Chargestone Cave]], a couple of {{tc|Ace Trainer}}s battle with a {{p|Tirtouga}} and an {{p|Archen}}. In Black 2 and White 2, two {{tc|Backpacker}}s on {{rt|1|Unova}} also use teams entirely made out of Fossil Pokémon.

The two final evolutions of the Fossil Pokémon released in this generation ({{p|Carracosta}} and {{p|Archeops}}) are used by [[N]] in the final battle against him in [[N's Castle]].

After defeating [[Ghetsis]]{{sup/5|BW}} or [[Iris]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}, Fossils of previous generations will be given out by a {{tc|Worker}} in [[Twist Mountain]], with one being given out per day.

While it cannot be revived via fossil, {{p|Genesect}} is known to have been created by [[Team Plasma]] by reviving a prehistoric Pokémon and upgrading it by attaching a cannon to its back.

===[[Generation VI]]===
Two Fossil Pokémon were introduced for {{g|X and Y}}.

{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background:#{{kalos color dark}}; border:5px solid #{{kalos color}}"
|-
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Jaw Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|696|Tyrunt}}
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Sail Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|698|Amaura}}
|-
| style="background:#{{dragon color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|{{dragon color dark}}|Jaw Fossil}}
| style="background:#{{ice color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|{{ice color dark}}|Sail Fossil}}
|}

One of the two Fossils is given to the player in [[Glittering Cave]] and can be restored at the research facility in [[Ambrette Town]]. The resulting Pokémon are level 20. The [[Old Amber]] can also be collected after this by smashing [[breakable rock]]s in the back of Glittering Cave.

Gym Leader [[Grant]] uses {{p|Tyrunt}} and {{p|Amaura}} and their evolved forms in subsequent rematches. Champion [[Diantha]] also uses {{p|Tyrantrum}} and {{p|Aurorus}}.

After defeating the {{OBP|Pokémon League|Kalos|Elite Four}}, the player can return to Glittering Cave and smash rocks to find the Skull, Armor, Plume, and Cover Fossils, regardless of version, as well as Root and Claw Fossils{{sup/6|X}} or Dome and Helix Fossils{{sup/6|Y}}.

In Hoenn's Generation VI games, the Root and Claw Fossil are collected and restored the same way as the original Ruby and Sapphire games. Restoring fossils can be done at the second floor of the [[Devon Corporation]]. During the post-game, a number of other fossils can be collected by smashing [[breakable rock]]s at the [[Mirage spot]]s. While the Old Amber can be found regardless of version, the Dome, Armor, and Plume Fossils are exclusive to Omega Ruby and the Helix, Skull, and Cover Fossils are exclusive to Alpha Sapphire. The Jaw and Sail Fossils are absent from both games, so either they, or the Pokémon that are revived from them, must be transferred from X and Y.

===[[Generation VII]]===
Generation VII introduces no new Fossils, but the player may obtain most of the previous Fossils depending on the game. In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], only the fossils from Sinnoh and Unova are available. Their location is at [[Olivia]]'s jewelry shop in [[Konikoni City]], where the player can buy a [[Skull Fossil]] and a [[Cover Fossil]] in Pokémon Sun or an [[Armor Fossil]] and a [[Plume Fossil]] in Pokémon Moon.

In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], this has been expanded to include more of the previous fossils which were absent from the original games. The [[Helix Fossil|Helix]], [[Claw Fossil|Claw]], and [[Jaw Fossil|Jaw]] Fossils may be purchased alongside the Skull and Cover Fossils in Ultra Sun, and the [[Dome Fossil|Dome]], [[Root Fossil|Root]], and [[Sail Fossil|Sail]] Fossils may be purchased alongside the Armor and Plume Fossils in Ultra Moon. Additionally, unlike the original games, any of these fossils can now also be obtained from Isle Aphun at [[Poké Pelago]] regardless of version. This is done from conducting a Rare Treasure-Hunting expedition (or an Interesting Item-Hunting expedition once the island has reached Development Level 3), where any of these fossils have a very rare chance of being obtained.

The Fossils can be revived at the Fossil Restoration Center on {{rt|8|Alola}}. The newly revived Pokémon come at level 15.

Unlike the other Fossils, the [[Old Amber]] is unobtainable in [[Alola]]. Instead, an {{p|Aerodactyl}} can be obtained at [[Seafolk Village]] as a [[gift Pokémon]].

Several minor Trainers use some of these Fossil Pokémon or their evolved forms as part of their teams. In addition for Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon only, [[Olivia]] uses both {{p|Lileep}} and {{p|Anorith}} during her grand trial. Later, when the player faces Olivia at the {{al|Pokémon League}}, they have evolved into {{p|Cradily}} and {{p|Armaldo}} respectively as part of her upgraded team.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], all the Kanto Fossils are obtainable in the same locations as they were in Generations I and III. In addition, more of them can be found on the second floor of [[Cerulean Cave]], where random rare items spawn occasionally.

The only notable Trainer who uses a Fossil Pokémon in these games is {{ga|Blue}}, who uses an Aerodactyl as a part of his team when rematched at the [[Viridian Gym]].

===[[Generation VIII]]===
Generation VIII introduced four new fossils, the most of any generation. Reviving fossils in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] is a much different process than it has been in the past generations. Two completely different fossils must be combined, by [[Cara Liss]] on {{rt|6|Galar}}, to form a chimeric Fossil Pokémon. These Pokémon all start at [[level]] 10, are genderless, and [[No Eggs Discovered (Egg Group)|cannot breed]].

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
[[File:Dome Fossil anime.png|thumb|250px|Dome Fossil in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
[[File:Sunkern leaf fossil.png|thumb|250px|A fossilized {{p|Sunkern}} leaf in the anime]]
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, most Fossil Pokémon are in fact, not extinct, but have simply been hibernating underground for millions of years, as seen in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', ''[[EP089|Shell Shock!]]'', and ''[[EP163|Fossil Fools]]''. However, [[Professor Proctor]] and {{Gary}} have both used research to directly revive Fossil Pokémon, as seen in ''[[AG102|Where's Armaldo?]]'' and ''[[HS15|Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl!]]'', respectively. Unlike in the {{pkmn|games}}, where Fossils of ancient Pokémon are resurrected into the skeletons of the prehistoric using a machine that recreates the missing organs that had decomposed away from the genes extracted in the remains, this Aerodactyl was in fact completely revived from a Fossil that was fully preserved inside of an Old Amber for millions of years and thus still had the memories of its past life.

[[Butler]] tried to create a {{p|Groudon}} for [[Team Magma]] in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' from a fossilized remnant, but the experiment failed and Butler left Team Magma.

[[Roark]], as he does in the {{pkmn|games}}, has a Cranidos which evolves into a {{TP|Roark|Rampardos}}. This Pokémon, as well as several other Fossil Pokémon, appear in ''[[DP016|A Gruff Act to Follow!]]'', ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets!]]'', and ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos we Watched!]]''. [[Byron]], his father, also has quite a collection in [[Canalave Gym|his Gym]]. This includes the Fossil Pokémon {{p|Kabuto}}, {{p|Kabutops}}, {{p|Omanyte}}, {{p|Omastar}}, {{p|Cradily}}, and {{p|Armaldo}}, as well as a giant Claw Fossil. He also kept a {{p|Sunkern}} leaf Fossil that Roark found when he was a child.

In ''[[BW014|A Night in the Nacrene City Museum!]]'', a {{p|Kabuto}} Fossil was first seen chasing [[Hawes]], as he claimed it to be doing, but was later seen safely placed in a display case. Hawes later explained what it was to the trio. It was later revealed that the {{p|Yamask}} in the Nacrene City Museum was using its move {{m|Psychic}} to make the Dome Fossil float and chase after Hawes after he put its mask in a display case, thinking that it was a replica Yamask mask given to him as a gift from the company that made a {{p|Cofagrigus}} replica after purchasing it from them for the museum.

[[Lenora]] gave a Plume Fossil to [[Professor Juniper]] and [[Fennel]] prior to ''[[BW036|Archeops In The Modern World!]]''. They successfully resurrected a female {{p|Archen}} from the Fossil using {{p|Musharna}}'s dream energy. With the help of {{Ash}} and his {{AP|Tranquill}}, Archen learned how to fly and then evolved into {{p|Archeops}}.

{{an|Kiawe}} found two fossils in ''[[SM032|Treasure Hunt, Akala Style!]]'', during the [[Poké Ride|Stoutland Search]] treasure hunt set up for Ash and his classmates by [[Olivia]]. On the first round, he found a Skull Fossil, and on the second one, he found a Plume Fossil.

===In Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Super Nerd PO.png|thumb|250px|Dome and Helix Fossils in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
The Dome and Helix Fossils were seen briefly in ''[[PO02|File 2: Cubone]]'', being hogged by a {{tc|Super Nerd}} whom {{OBP|Red|Origins}} encountered on [[Mt. Moon]].

In ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]'', Red was seen using a {{p|Kabutops}} in his battle against [[Giovanni]], presumably revived from a Dome Fossil. Since Red is mentioned to have caught all 150 [[Generation I]] Pokémon (excluding {{p|Mew}}) by the time of ''[[PO04|File 4: Charizard]]'', it means that he has also obtained the other Kanto Fossil Pokémon, presumably also revived from Fossils. As {{OBP|Blue|Origins}} was mentioned to have collected 148 Pokémon, it is likely that he had also collected all Kanto Fossil Pokémon.

[[File:Old Amber revive.png|150px|right|thumb|{{p|Aerodactyl}} being revived from [[Old Amber]] in [[Blaine]]'s lab]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, Lance and Brock both have Fossil Pokémon, just as in the games. Misty also temporarily has an {{p|Omanyte}}, but she gives this to {{adv|Yellow}}. In addition, {{adv|Red}} uses [[Blaine]]'s laboratory to revive an [[Aero]]dactyl. In [[Hoenn]], {{adv|Ruby}} fights a revived {{p|Lileep}} and an {{p|Anorith}} at [[Professor Cozmo]]'s laboratory in [[Fallarbor Town]]. In [[Sinnoh]], [[Roark]] has a {{p|Cranidos}} like in the games, and [[Byron|his father]] a [[Don|Shieldon]], which he later gives to {{adv|Diamond}}. In [[Unova]], [[N]] had an {{p|Archeops}}, which he released, and {{adv|Black}} has a [[Costa|Carracosta]], given to him by [[Marshal]] as a {{p|Tirtouga}}. {{adv|Blake}} also has a {{p|Kabutops}}. In [[Kalos]], [[Grant]] has an {{p|Aurorus}} and a {{p|Tyrantrum}}.

==In the TCG==
All Fossils have appeared in the TCG at one point or another, usually being released in the same expansion as the Pokémon which are revived from them, and being released as {{TCG|Trainer card}}s. Initially, only the {{TCG|Mysterious Fossil}} card existed, which could be evolved into any of the three Generation I Fossil Pokémon; however, its use was eventually discontinued in favor of individual {{TCG|Dome Fossil}}, {{TCG|Helix Fossil}}, and {{TCG|Old Amber}} cards to match the {{TCG|Claw Fossil|Claw}}, {{TCG|Root Fossil|Root}}, {{TCG|Skull Fossil|Skull}}, {{TCG|Armor Fossil|Armor}}, {{TCG|Cover Fossil|Cover}}, {{TCG|Plume Fossil|Plume}}, {{TCG|Jaw Fossil|Jaw}}, and {{TCG|Sail Fossil|Sail}} Fossil cards. {{TCG|Ultra Prism}} brought the return of a shared Trainer card which could evolve into any Fossil Pokémon released during the Sun & Moon Series, this time known as {{TCG|Unidentified Fossil}}.

In addition, there are some other Fossil (related) cards, like {{TCG|Buried Fossil}} from {{TCG|Skyridge}} (the only non-Trainer Fossil cards, which is a {{TCG|Colorless}} {{e|Colorless}} type Pokémon instead); {{TCG|Fossil Egg}} from {{TCG|Neo Discovery}}; and {{TCG|Holon Fossil}} from {{TCG|EX Holon Phantoms}}.

==Trivia==
* The [[Generation I]] Fossil Pokémon are the only {{type|Rock}} Pokémon of that generation that are not part {{type|Ground}}.
* {{p|Cranidos}} and {{p|Rampardos}} are the only Fossil Pokémon that are pure-Rock type.
* {{p|Tirtouga}} and {{p|Carracosta}} are the only Fossil Pokémon to have Rock as their secondary type.
* {{p|Archen}} and {{p|Archeops}} are the only Fossil Pokémon without Hidden Abilities.
* {{p|Aerodactyl}} is the only Fossil Pokémon capable of [[Mega Evolution]].
* [[Generation VIII]] is the first generation to have fossil Pokémon that aren't Rock types, are genderless, and are incapable of {{pkmn|breeding}}.
* The Fossilized Drake and Fossilized Fish appear to have an inventory sprite mix up, as the Fossilized Fish offers the "-vish" head for {{p|Arctovish}} and {{p|Dracovish}}, but the item itself looks more like the Draco- body, with the same being said for the Fossilized Drake looking like the "-vish" head but offers instead the "Draco-" body for Dracovish and {{p|Dracozolt}}.

'''Mudsdale''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''バンバドロ''' ''Banbadoro'') is a {{type|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Mudbray}} starting at [[level]] 30.

==Biology==
Mudsdale is a large, equine Pokémon with short, brown fur and a black-and-red mane and tail. It has heavy-lidded, black eyes with a red rim along the bottom, a red blaze on its muzzle, and long, pointed black ears with brown insides. This Pokémon's mane extends down around its eyes. Along the top of its neck, its mane is black with red at the tip and stands up straight. On either side of its neck, the mane forms three thick structures similar to {{wp|dreadlocks}} with red mud around the tips. The mane extends all the way down Mudsdale's back in a thin line before becoming its tail. The tail appears similar to its dreadlocks, but is much larger and has several black notches missing from the mud around the tip. Around its hooves is a protective coating of red mud, which has three notches around the bottom.

Mudsdale is known for both its powerful body and emotional fortitude, which prevents it from becoming agitated. Regardless of the trouble it is in, it will never cry out and defeats opponents with a single blow.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/mudsdale/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Mudsdale]</ref> The mud around its legs gives its kicks extra force; one kick can turn a car into a scrap pile. When galloping, its hooves can dig holes in asphalt. While it is not swift, it has excellent stamina and can continue on for three days and three nights while dragging over 10 tons. It will mix dirt and saliva to create a special mud with resistance to both wind and water. Because of its unique qualities, the walls of some old house were coated with Mudsdale's mud.

==In the anime==
[[File:Hapu Mudsdale.png|250px|thumb|left|Mudsdale in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Major appearances===
Mudsdale debuted in ''[[SM075|Some Kind of Laziness!]]'' as a [[Poké Ride|Ride Pokémon]] used by [[Acerola]] and {{Ash}}. It helped them cross a sandstorm in the middle of the [[Haina Desert]] and reach the [[Ruins of Abundance]], where they hoped to find {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Tapu Bulu}}. It was used by Acerola to go to the Ruins of Abundance again in ''[[SM077|Guiding an Awakening!]]''.

[[Hapu]]'s Mudsdale first appeared in ''[[SM104|That's Some Spicy Island Research!]]''. It helps Hapu in her radish field by carrying the grown radishes in its bags. Mudsdale was later used to battle {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}}s [[Tupp]], [[Zipp]], and [[Rapp]]; and it easily defeated their Pokémon with {{m|High Horsepower}}.

===Minor appearances===
A Mudsdale appeared in ''[[SM083|Dummy, You Shrunk the Kids!]]''. It walked across a river, unknowingly causing a tidal wave that splashed a shrunken Ash, {{an|Lillie}}, and {{an|Sophocles}}.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Mudsdale debuted in ''[[PASM03|Pokémon Move Specialist Professor Kukui]]'' as a [[Poké Ride|Ride Pokémon]] owned by {{adv|Sun}}.

[[Hapu]] owns a Mudsdale, which she first used in [[PASM21]] in order to protect Sun from a group of {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Crabrawler}}.

Category:Sound-based moves

2020-01-23T13:18:02Z

Pyritie:

These moves are moves which use sound.

Pokémon with the {{a|Soundproof}} Ability are unaffected by all of these moves, except {{m|Heal Bell}} in [[Generation V]]. Pokémon affected by {{m|Throat Chop}} cannot use sound-based moves for two turns. Sound-based moves used by a Pokémon with {{a|Liquid Voice}} become {{type|Water}} moves. Sound-based moves used by a Pokémon with {{a|Punk Rock}} are boosted by 30%, and Pokémon with {{a|Punk Rock}} take half damage from sound-based moves. If a Pokémon is holding a [[Throat Spray]] item and uses a sound-based move, the Throat Spray will be activated. From [[Generation VI]] onward, Pokémon behind {{m|substitute}}s can be hit by them.

List of glitches in Generation VIII

2020-01-23T11:43:31Z

Pyritie: /* Sucker Punch/Quash glitch */

{{GlitchResearch|Checking which glitches have been fixed in v1.1.0}}
This is a '''list of glitches''' that occur in the [[Generation VIII]] [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]].

==Sword and Shield==

===Berry tree glitch===
This glitch involves shaking a Berry tree from behind. It ultimately allows for the player to walk through walls.

{{youtubevid|NFmgCQepj9Q|BLAINES}}

===Dynamax glitches===
====Summary screen move mismatch====
When a Pokémon is [[Dynamax]]ed, if the {{player}} looks at the party screen, the moves will be listed as if the Pokémon weren't Dynamaxed (Example: {{m|Rock Slide}}, {{m|Rock Blast}}, {{m|Sandstorm}}, {{m|Stone Edge}}). However, when checking the summary screen, the moves are displayed as [[Max Move]]s, in this case, {{m|Max Rockfall}} (three) and {{m|Max Guard}}.

===Evolution cancelling glitch===
If the {{player}} cancels [[evolution]] of a Pokémon, the proper stamp will appear on the [[Y-Comm]] regardless.

===Menu glitch===
A glitch which allows the player to move the cursor in a frame just before using an Experience Candy or starting an evolution. This applies the item/evolution sequence to the other Pokémon, and allows for major consequences such as evolving underleveled Pokémon (if the first Pokémon is of the same species), male {{p|Salandit}}, {{p|Combee}} (which become female {{p|Salazzle}}, {{p|Vespiquen}}), special event Pokémon that normally cannot evolve but can be forced to via level up and this glitch (involving event {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Eevee}}) and Pokémon inside Eggs. If the species do not match, or evolution is impossible, the game may halt on an error message; closing the software.

{{youtubevid|BGhfc3tFd0M|ChickasaurusGL}}

===Move Relearner glitches===
These glitches occur when attempting to use a Move Relearner when there are at least 67 available moves (i.e. this can be done with a {{p|Mew}} which previously knew many Technical Records). It can cause the game to halt on an error message, closing the software. Other times, the player is able to see a glitched move (sometimes with a blank name, other times "———"). This glitch was found by SciresM.

{{youtubevid|e6iig5Z9YqE|ChickasaurusGL}}

===Sucker Punch/Quash glitch===
In a [[Double Battle]] where the player who didn't initiate the challenge is down to their final Pokémon, that Pokémon's {{m|Sucker Punch}} or {{m|Quash}} will fail when used against the opponent on their right. This applies regardless of what move the Pokémon selected for the turn.
With the release of the version 1.1 update to [[Sword and Shield]], this glitch was fixed and Sucker Punch and Quash can now correctly hit Pokémon in that position.

===Symbiosis glitch===
If an [[item]] can be consumed during switch-in, {{a|Symbiosis}} will activate it twice and consume the item that it passes.

===Rose Tower glitch===
This glitch occurs when the player flies to another location from the outside of Rose Tower before going inside the tower itself. The map shows the objective "Search for the bad League staff member hiding around Wyndon Monorail Terminal!" despite having already done so by this stage of the game. This area is no longer accessible and prevents the story from progressing as the player has no other means of going back to Rose Tower. This glitch was found by hikaribruh.

Lagging Tail

2020-01-23T11:40:20Z

Pyritie: /* Effect */ This isn't a change to how lagging tail worked in the past, but since it's now the only exception to new mechanics, I think it should be mentioned

Forces the holder to move last in its [[priority]] bracket, regardless of its {{stat|Speed}}. This item is unaffected by {{m|Trick Room}}.

====Generation IV====
If multiple Pokémon holding a Lagging Tail or [[Full Incense]] use moves with the same priority, the Pokémon with the lower Speed will move first (regardless of Trick Room).

A Pokémon with {{a|Stall}} moves before Pokémon holding a Lagging Tail or [[Full Incense]]. If a Pokémon with Stall also holds a Lagging Tail or Full Incense, Stall does not affect when the Pokémon moves.

====Generation V onward====
If multiple Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Stall}} or that are holding a Lagging Tail or [[Full Incense]] use moves with the same priority, the Pokémon move relatively according to {{stat|Speed}} (the order is reversed during Trick Room).

====Generation VIII====
Despite this generation introducing dynamic {{stat|Speed}} recalculation, a Pokémon obtaining a Lagging Tail through a move such as {{m|Trick}} will still keep its same move order until the following turn.

'''Tar Shot''' (Japanese: '''タールショット''' ''Tar Shot'') is a non-damaging {{type|Rock}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]]. It is the [[signature move]] of {{p|Coalossal}}.

==Effect==
Tar Shot lowers the target’s {{stat|Speed}} stat by one stage. In addition, it doubles the effectiveness of {{type|Fire}} moves used on the target.
Unlike other effects that affect type weaknesses such as {{a|Fluffy}}, Tar Shot will affect the "super effective/not very effective" messages displayed on screen during move selection and when an attack hits.

List of glitches in Generation VIII

2020-01-13T13:39:32Z

Pyritie: /* Sucker Punch glitch */ this has been fixed, see: https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1215430874784772097

{{GlitchResearch|Checking which glitches have been fixed in v1.1.0}}
This is a '''list of glitches''' that occur in the [[Generation VIII]] [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]].

==Sword and Shield==

===Berry tree glitch===
This glitch involves shaking a Berry tree from behind. It ultimately allows for the player to walk through walls.

{{youtubevid|NFmgCQepj9Q|BLAINES}}

=== Evolution cancelling glitch ===
If the {{player}} cancels [[evolution]] of a Pokémon, the proper stamp will appear on the [[Y-Comm]] regardless.

===Menu glitch===
A glitch which allows the player to move the cursor in a frame just before using an Experience Candy or starting an evolution. This applies the item/evolution sequence to the other Pokémon, and allows for major consequences such as evolving underleveled Pokémon (if the first Pokémon is of the same species), male {{p|Salandit}}, {{p|Combee}} (which become female {{p|Salazzle}}, {{p|Vespiquen}}), special event Pokémon that normally cannot evolve but can be forced to via level up and this glitch (involving event {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Eevee}}) and Pokémon inside Eggs. If the species do not match, or evolution is impossible, the game may halt on an error message; closing the software.

{{youtubevid|BGhfc3tFd0M|ChickasaurusGL}}

===Move Relearner glitches===
These glitches occur when attempting to use a Move Relearner when there are at least 67 available moves (i.e. this can be done with a {{p|Mew}} which previously knew many Technical Records). It can cause the game to halt on an error message, closing the software. Other times, the player is able to see a glitched move (sometimes with a blank name, other times "———"). This glitch was found by SciresM.

{{youtubevid|e6iig5Z9YqE|ChickasaurusGL}}

===Sucker Punch/Quash glitch===
In a [[Double Battle]] where the player who didn't initiate the challenge is down to their final Pokémon, that Pokémon's Sucker Punch or Quash will fail when used against the opponent on their right. This applies regardless of what move the Pokémon selected for the turn.
With the release of the version 1.1 update to [[Sword and Shield]], this glitch was fixed and Sucker Punch and Quash can now correctly hit Pokémon in that position.

===Rose Tower glitch===
This glitch occurs when the player flies to another location from the outside of Rose Tower before going inside the tower itself. The map shows the objective "Search for the bad League staff member hiding around Wyndon Monorail Terminal!" despite having already done so by this stage of the game. This area is no longer accessible and prevents the story from progressing as the player has no other means of going back to Rose Tower. This glitch was found by hikaribruh.

'''Dragapult''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ドラパルト''' ''Doraparuto'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Ghost}} [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Drakloak}} starting at [[level]] 60. It is the final form of {{p|Dreepy}}.

==Biology==
Dragapult resembles a lizard, but with features resembling a stealth bomber plane as well. Its head is triangular, with a dark blue coloring in the center and pink coloring on the sides. It has four triangular horns, all of which are hollow inside. It also possesses a pair of yellow eyes. It possesses a small, lizard-like body with two short arms as well as a pair of legs, each with claw-like protrusions. Its belly is yellow, with three red chevron marks embedding it. Its upper body is a very dark blue, while its lower body is a light blue. It has a very long tail that composes much of its height.

Dragapult carries a pair of {{p|Dreepy}} inside its horns, which it will fire at its opponents like supersonic missiles during battle. It is said that the Dreepy it carries greatly enjoy being sent flying towards opponents at immense speeds. Much of Dragapult's behavior beyond this, however, remains a mystery.

Dragapult is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the the move {{m|Dragon Darts}}.

==Trivia==
* Dragapult has the lowest base {{stat|Special Defense}} stat of all [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]].
* Dragapult has the highest base {{stat|Speed}} stat of all {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon.
** Moreover, Dragapult has the highest base {{stat|Speed}} stat of all pseudo-legendary Pokémon.
* Dragapult and its evolutionary family are the only Pokémon that are in the {{egg|Dragon}} and {{egg|Amorphous}} [[Egg Group]]s.
* Dragapult is the lightest pseudo-legendary Pokémon, as well as the tallest.
* Dragapult is the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon that cannot learn {{m|Earthquake}}.
* If Dragapult [[Dynamax]]es, it will temporarily disappear before reaching its largest size.

===Origin===
Dragapult may be based on the ''{{wp|Diplocaulus}}'', an extinct {{wp|amphibian}} with a similarly-shaped skull. A complete tail has never been found in a ''Diplocaulus'' fossil, which may explain Dragapult's ghostly, translucent tail. Its head also resembles a {{wp|Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit|B-2 Spirit}}, a stealth bomber aircraft. Its name and propensity for holding and firing Dreepy may be a reference to projectile weapons, such as {{wp|catapult}}s and {{wp|crossbow}}s.

It may also be a reference to the {{wp|paternal care}} behavior present in many amphibian species. The {{t|Dragon}} typing may be a reference to the {{wp|Olm}}, a type of {{wp|salamander}} native to central and southeastern Europe that was believed to be a {{wp|dragon}} offspring by locals.

====Name origin====
Dragapult and Doraparuto may be a combination of ''dragon'' and ''catapult''.

'''No Retreat''' (Japanese: '''はいすいのじん''' ''Last Stand'') is a non-damaging {{type|Fighting}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]]. It is the [[signature move]] of {{p|Falinks}}.

==Effect==
No Retreat raises the user's {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Defense}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, {{stat|Special Defense}}, and {{stat|Speed}} by one stage each. It also prevents the user from [[switching out]] or [[escape|fleeing]]. No Retreat fails if the user is prevented from switching out or fleeing from No Retreat.

If the user has already been given the "Can't Escape" status by another move such as {{m|Mean Look}}, No Retreat will successfully grant its stat boosts but will not create an additional status line to trap the user again. In this case, using No Retreat multiple times will create multiple boosts.

Holding a [[Shed Shell]] allows the user of No Retreat to switch out even after using the move.

* The Japanese, Chinese, and Korean names of this move literally mean "to fight with one's back to the river," an idiom for a desperate last stand. The idiom originated from the historical {{wp|Battle of Jingxing}}, where the now-renowned Chinese general {{wp|Han Xin}} ordered his army to fight with a river at their backs and no way to cross, successfully routing an enemy ten times their number.

'''Ally Switch''' (Japanese: '''サイドチェンジ''' ''Side Change'') is a non-damaging {{type|Psychic}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation V]]. It was [[TM51]] in Generation V.

==Effect==
===Generation V-VI===
Ally Switch causes the user to switch places with the ally next to itself, and is an increased-[[priority]] move. It will fail if the user is in the middle of the field in a [[Triple Battle]], if the user has no ally opposite it, or if used in a Single Battle, [[Multi Battle]], [[Rotation Battle]], or [[Horde Encounter]].

If a Pokémon targeted an ally with a move, but as a result of Ally Switch the Pokémon is now targeting itself when it would execute the move, the move will fail (even if the move is {{m|Acupressure}}).

Ally Switch does not trigger {{m|Pursuit}}.

===Generation VII===
Ally Switch had its priority increased to +2.

If powered up by a [[Psychium Z]] into Z-Ally Switch, the user's {{stat|Speed}} stat rises by two stages.

==Description==
{{movedesc|Psychic}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev5|BWB2W2}}|The user teleports using a strange power and switches its place with one of its allies.}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev6|XYORAS}} {{gameabbrev7|SMUSUM}}|The user teleports using a strange power and switches places with one of its allies.}}

Defog (move)

'''Defog''' (Japanese: '''きりばらい''' ''Fog Wipe'') is a non-damaging {{type|Flying}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation IV]]. It is [[HM05]] in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, moving the traditional HM05, {{m|Flash}}, to [[TM70]]. However, in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, it loses its HM status in favor of {{m|Whirlpool}}.

Defog cannot be used outside of battle without the {{badge|Fen}} in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} and the {{badge|Relic}} in {{v2|Platinum}}.

==Effect==
===In battle===
====Generation IV====
Defog lowers the target's {{stat|evasion}} one stage, even if the target is behind a {{m|substitute}}. It bypasses {{stat|accuracy}} checks to always hit, unless the target is in the {{cat|Moves with a semi-invulnerable turn|semi-invulnerable turn}} of a move such as {{m|Dig}} or {{m|Fly}}.

Defog clears away any [[fog]] on the field, as well as {{m|Light Screen}}, {{m|Reflect}}, {{m|Safeguard}}, {{m|Mist}}, {{m|Spikes}}, {{m|Toxic Spikes}}, and {{m|Stealth Rock}} on the target's side of the field.

====Generation V====
Defog can now be reflected with {{m|Magic Coat}} and no longer lowers the evasion of a Pokémon behind a {{m|substitute}}.

====Generation VI onward====
Defog now clears away {{m|Spikes}}, {{m|Toxic Spikes}}, {{m|Stealth Rock}}, and {{m|Sticky Web}} on both the user's and target's side of the field as well as {{m|Aurora Veil}} on the target's side of the field. It still clears away Light Screen, Reflect, Safeguard, and Mist only from the target's side of the field.

If powered up by a [[Flyinium Z]] into Z-Defog, the user's accuracy is raised by one stage.

===Outside of battle===
====Generation IV====
Defog clears away [[fog]] from the area. The effect lasts until the {{player}} leaves the area.

====Generation V onward====
Defog can no longer be used outside of battle.

==Trivia==
* The Bag sprite for the HM containing Defog is mistakenly that of a {{type|Water}} HM, rather than a {{type|Flying}} one.
* Like {{m|Flash}} was in Generations {{gen|I}}, {{gen|II}}, and {{gen|III}}, Defog is not critical to the completion of the game, as a player can traverse foggy areas without using the move. However, unlike with dark caves requiring Flash to light them, foggy areas affect battles within them.
* In the anime, Ash sometimes uses his {{AP|Pidgeotto}}'s and {{AP|Unfezant}}'s {{m|Gust}} and his {{AP|Noctowl}}'s {{m|Whirlwind}} in a similar manner.
* If a player teaches a Pokémon Defog by HM in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} and trades it to HeartGold or SoulSilver, the Pokémon can be freely imported to {{2v2|Black|White}} via the [[Poké Transfer]], due to Defog not being needed outside of battle in HeartGold and SoulSilver. The same can be done with {{m|Whirlpool}} by transferring a Pokémon that learned it by HM in HeartGold or SoulSilver to Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum.

'''Pollen Puff''' (Japanese: '''かふんだんご''' ''Pollen Ball'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Bug}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation VII]]. It is the [[signature move]] of {{p|Ribombee}}.

==Effect==
{{MoveResearch|What is the effect when Pollen Puff is powered up by a Z-Crystal? Does it let Pollen Puff bypass Heal Block, similarly to Floral Healing?}}

Pollen Puff's effect varies depending on the target. If it targets an opponent, it deals damage. If it targets an ally, it restores up to 50% of the target's maximum {{stat|Hit Points|HP}}. Pokémon with {{a|Bulletproof}} are immune to Pollen Puff.

Pokémon affected by {{m|Heal Block}} cannot target allies with Pollen Puff (but they can target an opponent); if only the ally is affected by Heal Block but the user is not, Pollen Puff can target it, but it will fail to heal it.

==Description==
{{movedesc|Bug}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev7|SMUSUM}}|The user attacks the enemy with a pollen puff that explodes. If the target is an ally, it gives the ally a pollen puff that restores its HP instead.}}

'''Spotlight''' (Japanese: '''スポットライト''' ''Spotlight'') is a non-damaging {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation VII]].

==Effect==
Spotlight causes the move's target to become the {{status|center of attention}}, forcing all attacks from the target's foes to target it instead of their intended target. This effect overrides any other forms of redirection, either through moves like {{m|Follow Me}} and {{m|Rage Powder}}, abilities like {{a|Storm Drain}} and {{a|Lightning Rod}}, or {{m|Ally Switch}}.

If powered up by a [[Normalium Z]] into Z-Spotlight, the user's {{stat|Special Defense}} stat rises by 1 stage.

==Description==

* The German name of the move {{m|Follow Me}} is ''Spotlight'', which exists as a {{wp|loanword}} from English. This move is named ''Rampenlicht'' instead, which is a translation of the same term.

Plasma Fists (move)

Pyritie: /* Effect */ ion deluge page has a lot of extra info about edge cases, and it's the same effect, so we might as well link to it

'''Plasma Fists''' (Japanese: '''プラズマフィスト''' ''Plasma Fist'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Electric}} [[move]] introduced in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}. It is the [[signature move]] of {{p|Zeraora}}.

==Effect==
Plasma Fists inflicts damage. In the remainder of the current turn, all {{type|Normal}} moves will become {{type|Electric}}, including [[status move]]s. This has the same effect as {{m|Ion Deluge}}.

===Other effects===
Plasma Fists does not exist in the game data of {{g|Sun and Moon}}. As a result, a Pokémon knowing Plasma Fists cannot be traded from Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon to Sun and Moon, and if a Pokémon in [[Pokémon Bank]] knows the move it cannot be withdrawn in Pokémon Sun and Moon. In order to be transferred to Pokémon Sun and Moon, the Pokémon (excluding {{p|Zeraora}} which has no data in {{g|Sun and Moon}}) must forget Plasma Fists.

'''Sandstorm''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|砂あらし|すなあらし}}''' ''Sandstorm'') is a type of [[weather]] introduced in battle in [[Generation II]]. It was introduced in the overworld in [[Generation III]].

It will last for five turns if created using {{a|Sand Stream}} ([[Generation VI]] onwards) or {{m|Sandstorm}}, or eight if created while holding a [[Smooth Rock]]. If created using Sand Stream (prior to Generation VI) or encountered in the overworld, it will last until replaced.

==Effects==
[[File:Roxanne Nosepass Sandstorm.png|thumb|250px|Sandstorm in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===In battle===
* At the end of each turn, damages each Pokémon for 1/16 (⅛ in [[Generation II]]) of its maximum HP, unless it is {{t|Rock}}-, {{t|Steel}}-, or {{type|Ground}}; has one of the Abilities {{a|Sand Force}}, {{a|Sand Rush}}, {{a|Sand Veil}}, {{a|Magic Guard}}, or {{a|Overcoat}}; or is holding [[Safety Goggles]].
* Activates the following [[Ability|Abilities]]: {{a|Sand Force}}, {{a|Sand Rush}}, {{a|Sand Veil}}.
* From Generation IV onward, raises the {{stat|Special Defense}} of all {{type|Rock}} Pokémon by 50%.
* Changes {{m|Weather Ball}} to a {{type|Rock}} move and doubles its power.
* From Generation III onward, halves the power of {{m|Solar Beam}} and {{m|Solar Blade}}.
* Causes {{m|Shore Up}} to recover ⅔ of max {{stat|HP}} instead of ½.
* Causes {{m|Moonlight}}, {{m|Synthesis}}, and {{m|Morning Sun}} to recover ¼ of max {{stat|HP}} (half the normal amount in [[Generation II]]).

===Outside of battle===
{{MoveResearch|Are Sweet Scent and Honey affected by weather in the Gen VII games?}}

From {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} to {{g|X and Y}}, {{m|Sweet Scent}} and [[Honey]] will fail if there is a sandstorm in the area, or if any other type of weather is present. In the [[Generation III]] games and {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Sweet Scent and Honey are unaffected by the weather.

==Variations==
===Normal===
Sand is whipped around by wind, making it difficult to see. Found in Hoenn on {{rt|111|Hoenn}}, in Sinnoh on {{rt|228|Sinnoh}}, and in Unova inside the [[Desert Resort]].

===Light===
Several sand particles are whipped diagonally across the screen. In Generation V, it is found on {{rt|4|Unova}}{{sup/5|BW}}{{sup/5|W2}} and at the entrance to the [[Desert Resort]]{{sup/5|BW}}{{sup/5|B2W2}}.

===Windstorm===
This variation does not create sandstorm weather in battles where it occurs, but the overworld effect resembles a sandstorm. Found in [[Kalos]] on {{rt|13|Kalos}}, bits of dust and debris are blown around by a strong wind from the west. Occasionally the wind abates, but whenever it is blowing, it hinders the player's movement westward.

*There is a typo in [[Pokémon X & Pokémon Y: The Official Kalos Region Pokédex & Postgame Adventure Guide]] that states that during the sandstorm weather condition, the Speed of {{type|Rock}} Pokémon goes up, rather than the Special Defense stat.

Contact

2018-01-12T17:56:43Z

Pyritie:

'''Contact''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|接触|せっしょく}}''' ''contact'') or '''direct attack''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|直接攻撃|ちょくせつこうげき}}''' ''direct attack'') is a property of [[move]]s in the [[Pokémon games]] that was introduced in [[Generation III]]. Making contact occurs when a Pokémon physically touches the target when using a move in {{pkmn|battle}}. Moves that make contact are affected by and can trigger various [[item]]s and {{Abilities}}, such as {{a|Tough Claws}} and the [[Sticky Barb]].

Whether a move makes contact is independent of its [[damage category]]. Most [[physical move]]s do make contact and make up the majority of contact moves. Most [[special move]]s do not make contact, and no [[status move]]s make contact. Prior to [[Generation VII]], all moves that make contact only target a single Pokémon.

Hitting a {{m|substitute}} does not make contact with the Pokémon behind it. While {{status|confusion}} damage is physical, it does not make contact.

{{MoveResearch|Do Z-moves make contact?}}

==Moves involving contact==
In Generation III only, {{m|AncientPower}} and {{m|Overheat}} make contact, while {{m|Covet}}, {{m|Faint Attack}} and {{m|Fake Out}} do not.

==Trivia==
* In {{g|Colosseum}} and {{pkmn|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, battle animations for contact moves do not show the attacking Pokémon hitting the defending one at all. As in the {{pkmn|Stadium series}}, physical blows usually utilize quick camera cuts between the attacking and defending Pokémon to imply direct contact.

Pyritie: I feel like this link is more useful for soak. You don't really care about things like seasonal sawsbucks or giratina formes here.

'''Soak''' (Japanese: '''みずびたし''' ''Waterlog'') is a non-damaging {{type|Water}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation V]].

==Effect==
===Generation V===
Soak changes the target's [[type]] to pure {{t|Water}}. The effect lasts as long as the target remains in battle; however, [[Form-changing Abilities|changing form]] or {{m|transform}}ing undoes the effect. Soak succeeds even if the target is already a pure Water-type Pokémon.

Soak fails if used on a {{m|substitute}} or {{p|Arceus}}.

===Generation VI onward===
If used on a pure Water-type Pokémon, Soak's animation will still play, but the game will now state that the move has failed. Soak fails if used on {{p|Silvally}}.

Soak can be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Contest Spectacular combination]], with the user gaining an extra three appeal points if the move {{m|Rain Dance}} was used in the prior turn.

If powered up by a {{DL|Z-Crystal|Waterium Z}} into Z-Soak, the user's {{stat|Special Attack}} stat raises one stage.
