'''Block''' (Japanese: '''とおせんぼう''' ''Block'') is a non-damaging {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation III]].<br />
<br />
==Effect==<br />
===Generations III and IV===<br />
Block [[Escape prevention|prevents]] the target from [[Recall|switching out]] or [[Escape|fleeing]] (including via {{m|Teleport}}). It bypasses {{stat|accuracy}} checks to always hit, unless the target is in the [[semi-invulnerable turn]] of a move such as {{m|Dig}} or {{m|Fly}}. The effect only applies as long as the Pokémon that used it remains in battle.<br />
<br />
It is blocked by {{m|Protect}} and {{m|Detect}}.<br />
<br />
The affected Pokémon can still switch out via {{m|Baton Pass}}, but in that case, the Pokémon that switches in will now be affected. Affected Pokémon can also switch out with {{m|U-turn}}. Conversely, the Pokémon that used Block can switch out with Baton Pass and the effects of Block will still apply. Also, if the affected Pokémon is {{m|Roar}}ed at or hit with a {{m|Whirlwind}}, they will still be switched out.<br />
<br />
If a [[wild Pokémon]] uses Block on the player's Pokémon, the player will be unable to escape, unless the player's Pokémon has {{a|Run Away}} or is holding a [[Smoke Ball]].<br />
<br />
===Generation V===<br />
If a Pokémon traps a target with Block and then switches with Baton Pass the target will no longer be trapped. Pokémon affected by Block can switch out with {{m|Volt Switch}}. Also, {{m|Dragon Tail}} and {{m|Circle Throw}} will force the affected Pokémon to switch out.<br />
<br />
===Generation VI onward===<br />
Block no longer affects {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon. It will now hit the target even if it has used {{m|Protect}}, {{m|Detect}}, or {{m|Spiky Shield}}, but will fail if the target is protected by {{m|Crafty Shield}}.<br />
<br />
Pokémon affected by Block can also switch out with {{m|Parting Shot}} and {{m|Flip Turn}}.<br />
<br />
Block can be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Contest Spectacular combination]], causing certain moves ({{m|Explosion}}, {{m|Memento}}, {{m|Perish Song}}, and {{m|Self-Destruct}}) to gain an extra three appeal points if they are used in the next turn.<br />
<br />
If powered up by [[Normalium Z]] into Z-Block, the user's {{stat|Defense}} stat rises by one stage.<br />

Block inflicts the {{DL|Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)|stuck}} (previously Leg Hold{{sup/md|RB}}/Shadow Hold{{sup/md|TDS}}) status condition which prevents the target from moving (but may attack), or switch places with the team leader. This status lasts for 2-5{{sup/md|RB}}{{sup/md|TDS}}/ 7{{sup/md|GtI}}{{sup/md|SMD}}turns. In {{pkmn|Super Mystery Dungeon}} Ghost-type Pokémon cannot become stuck.<br />

==={{g|UNITE}}===<br />
In Pokémon UNITE, Block is {{p|Snorlax}}'s second move. It is obtained by reaching level 7 upgrading {{m|Rest}} into it instead of {{m|Yawn}}. The user creates and holds a wall in a targeted direction for 4 seconds. Enemies that contact the wall are knocked back and stunned. The user cannot attack or use abilities while Blocking but can move slowly. While Blocking the user's Defense and Sp. Defense are increased by 25%. At level 13, the user takes less damage while this move is in effect.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* Block was first teased in the anime during the episode "[[Extreme Pokemon|Extreme Pokemon!]]" (EP228) where Gary issues the command, "[[Arcanine (Pokémon)|Arcanine]], [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Block_(move)&veaction=edit&section=25 BLOCK]!!" to stop Ash as he tumbles down a hill. This was not yet identified explicitly as a technique at the time, coming just under a full year before the release of [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire]]. To execute the move Arcanine placed itself bodily in front of Ash, halting him completely.<br />
* In [[Generation III]], the status screen erroneously states that the move has 100% accuracy, even though it ignores accuracy and evasion checks.<br />

Albeit minor (only consisting in the presence of wild Kecleon and one Go-Rock Grunt), there's also a location called ''Amity Square'' in [[Fall City]]. Even if that one doesn't deserve its own article, I propose a redirect of this to Amity Square (Sinnoh) --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 23:09, 4 June 2007 (UTC)<br />
:There are two [[Viridian Forest]]s too. If the other one gets an article, I think we should do as we did with Viridian Forest, since Ranger's a side game too, even if it has greater links to the versions. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|<span style="color:#FF0000;">T</span>]][[User talk:TTEchidna|<span style="color:#FF0000;">T</span>]][[wp:Echidna|<span style="color:#FF0000;">E</span><span style="color:#0000FF;">chidna</span>]]''' 00:52, 5 June 2007 (UTC)<br />
::Nah, it doesn't deserve its own article (not more than [[Viridian Forest (Channel)]] did). How about just a link to [[Fall City]]? --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 01:34, 12 August 2007 (UTC)<br />

I had my Pikachu in the Square today and I got a Magost Berry, but it's not listed as one of the items that Pikachu can find... [[User:Manga-in-a-bottle|Manga-in-a-bottle]]<br />

== New glitch? ==<br />

I was playing platinum and walked out of amity square with my empoleon using the walkthrough walls cheat (not around the building through it) and went into a battle.In the battle there were 2 Lucas and 1 sent out my origin giratina and the other sent out a glitch Pokémon.

So you don't believe me? p.s. both glitch pokemon (there was one on the enemy team too) use struggle then faint.Also I was battling a psyduck but there was a shadow off to the side and there were sparkles coming off of nothing to the left.

== Question ==<br />
<br />
does walking in Amity Square with your pokémon cause it to raise any extra happiness? (e.g. seemed to remember that was mentioned somewhere and also many of the allowed pokémon are Happiness evolvers.) ZaphodBeeblebrox 21:47, 19 November 2008 (UTC)<br />
:Only {{p|Happiny}} and {{p|Buneary}} evolve by happiness and are let in. [[User:Dolphin2|Dolphins_are_awesome!]] 15:53, 22 December 2008 (UTC)<br />
::Not that I think they're still looking, but that really didn't answer the question. Maybe Zaphod just wants footprint ribbons faster, or is just curious about details. I'd answer, but I'm not sure. Zaphod mentioned your answer in the question and it would seem that s/he just wants to know if pokemon get happy faster there than the general pokeworld.

== Entrance ==<br />

== Drifloon berry rarity ==<br />
<br />
I have doubts that the rarity of berries are ''rare'' at all for Drifloon. I haven't done extensive testing, but berries seem a lot more common than some accessories listed as 'common'. I was finding a purple scale a few weeks ago and here are the results:<br /><br />
belue berry - 3,<br />
black beard - 5,<br />
cornn berry - 7,<br />
durin berry - 1,<br />
magost berry - 6,<br />
narrow leaf - 1,<br />
narrow scale - 4,<br />
nomel berry - 10,<br />
pamtre berry - 1,<br />
purple scale - 1,<br />
rabuta berry - 10,<br />
red feather - 1,<br />
spelon berry - 1,<br />
watmel berry - 4,<br />
white moustache - 5,<br />
yellow feather - 3.<br />
<br />
Two berries got a massive 15.8% occurrence rate each, and berries overall occurred 68% of the time. Interestingly though, I seemed to get berries more often the longer I was in there. This might be luck, though, or perhaps the more accessories you have, the less the chance of finding them. -- [[User:Pokey|Pokey]] 07:35, 26 June 2010 (UTC)<br />
:It seems I was mistaking psyduck's list for drifloon's here, but the post still stands for editors with permissions to edit (I can't). Nearly the whole list is missing, and I think it could do with a huge makeover. -- [[User:Pokey|Pokey]] 07:42, 26 June 2010 (UTC)<br />

:::Thanks for unprotecting. I'll add the items shortly but won't touch the rarity. My reasons being that I think the items are assigned probability rates when a Pokemon enters the zone. I went to test it again (data set 1), I tested 50 items, then left the zone and reentered with the same drifloon for another 50 (data set 2)<br />

According to the posted lists, this isn't supposed to be possible, but, uh, apparently it is.<br />

== Shroomish can find a big leaf in pearl? ==<br />
<br />
<br />
Shroomish found a big leaf in amity square on my Pearl version, literally 10 minutes ago. That's not on the list, and unfortunately I cannot venture to guess at it's rarity. unless someone wants to crack open the coding of amity square, that's all I've got on that, beyond a screenshot for proof.<br />
<br />
Attached screenshot for authenticity sake.<br />
<br />
Well... apparently I'm not "auto-confirmed" yet, so i cant upload my image. Anyone want to give me a backdoor into that?<br />
<br />
[[File:bigleaferror.jpg]]<br />
<br />
^^ until I can actually ADD that, I suppose I'll just place the big leaf into the list shared by Pikachu and Shroomish. I'm going to venture to guess that, since nobody else seems to have noticed it, it should go under the rare category. If someone wants more out of this, they can get it so that i can upload my image.<br />
<br />
[[User:Qprime|Qprime]] ([[User talk:Qprime|talk]]) 05:46, 24 February 2015 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Starting to think Shroomish might have simply been mis-grouped. I just got a blue feather, blue scale, rabuta berry, and white beard. NONE of which shrromish are supposed to be able to find, according to the current list. Other then the rabuta berry, this actually seems to more closely match Jigglypuffs list. Go Figure. I'll hold off on any more changes until this gets looked at for a few days.<br />

[[File:Amity Square DP.png|thumb|right|Amity Square in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}]]<br />
<br />
'''Amity Square''' (Japanese: '''ふれあいひろば''' ''Contact Square'') is a park in [[Sinnoh]] where {{pkmn|Trainer}}s can [[Walking Pokémon|walk]] around with their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and talk to them to check their moods. It is located north of [[Hearthome City]].<br />
<br />
The setup in Amity Square is identical to the {{p|Pikachu}} interaction system that was in {{game|Yellow}}. Only certain {{DL|List of Pokémon by height|small}} Pokémon can be taken for walks in Amity Square, usually of a "cute" appearance. Pokémon will fetch [[Accessory|Accessories]] or [[Berry#In Generation IV|Berries]] for their owners every 200 steps.<br />
<br />
In {{game|Platinum}}, more Pokémon are allowed in than before, and the area has been expanded and redesigned. It now includes a rather large pool of water on the west side, with a model of the [[Sinnoh]] region within. Rather than being able to cross the entire square as in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, it has been separated into exclusive east and west sides, each only accessible via their respective [[gate]]. Of special note, Pokémon Platinum allows all three of the Sinnoh {{pkmn2|starter}} Pokémon and their entire [[List of Pokémon by evolution family|evolution families]].<br />
<br />
The rock huts serve no purpose in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl; however, in Pokémon Platinum, they contain warp points that send the {{player}} to another rock hut in the park. Each hut contains three warp points, accessed by walking to the front, left, or right while inside the hut. <br />
<br />
After taking an allowable Pokémon for a walk, players will find that their party has been fully healed.<br />

===Berry and Accessories man===<br />
In {{game|Platinum}}, a man who, once a day, will give the player five of a [[Berry]] or one [[Accessory]] appears in the eastern side of the park. When the player enters the Square, the man will be in one of the isolated locations only accessible through the teleporters in the huts (the teleporter on the north side of a hut will always lead to one of the huts connected to the park's entrance/exit).<br />
<br />
So long as the player stays within the park, the man will always offer the same item, but if the player has not accepted an item from the man, he may change the item he offers (as well as his position) if the player exits and reenters the park (such that the scene changes).<br />

==In the anime==<br />
[[File:Amity Square anime.png|thumb|250px|Amity Square in the anime{{tt|*|Dub only}}]]<br />
In ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training!]]'', [[Paul]] {{pkmn|battle}}d [[Cynthia]] in a location called {{tt|自然公園|しぜんこうえん}} ''Nature Park'', which was called '''Amity Square''' in the [[dub]].<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Amity Square seems to be [[Game Freak]]'s testing ground for the [[walking Pokémon]] system, as the company increased the number of sprites and animations from {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} to {{game|Platinum}}, effectively granting access to more {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The system would later come to fruition in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} in a more expanded state and with all [[List of Pokémon by index number (Generation IV)|Pokémon and Pokémon forms up to Generation IV]] supported.<br />
* The northern section of Amity Square draws inspiration from {{wp|Cappadocia}}, where houses have been carved from {{wp|Hoodoo (geology)|hoodoo}}s.<br />
* It is revealed by a citizen of [[Hearthome City]] that [[Mr. Backlot]], owner of the {{si|Pokémon Mansion}}, owns Amity Square. The women at the [[gate]]s of his mansion say that the owner can be found in somewhere on the grounds, but this is false as he is always inside the mansion.<br />
* If the "walk through walls" cheat code is used, the game will pre-select the first Pokémon in the [[party]], which will be taken into the garden with the {{player}}; however, it will not be able to be seen or be able to {{a|Pickup|pick up}} [[item]]s. The player only notices the Pokémon's presence when speaking to the receptionists of either entrance.<br />

[[File:Amity Square DP.png|thumb|right|Amity Square in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}]]<br />
<br />
'''Amity Square''' (Japanese: '''ふれあいひろば''' ''Contact Square'') is a park in [[Sinnoh]] where {{pkmn|Trainer}}s can [[Walking Pokémon|walk]] around with their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and talk to them to check their moods. It is located north of [[Hearthome City]].<br />
<br />
The setup in Amity Square is identical to the {{p|Pikachu}} interaction system that was in {{game|Yellow}}. Only certain {{DL|List of Pokémon by height|small}} Pokémon can be taken for walks in Amity Square, usually of a "cute" appearance. Pokémon will fetch [[Accessory|Accessories]] or [[Berry#In Generation IV|Berries]] for their owners every 200 steps.<br />
<br />
In {{game|Platinum}}, more Pokémon are allowed in than before, and the area has been expanded and redesigned. It now includes a rather large pool of water on the west side, with a model of the [[Sinnoh]] region within. Rather than being able to cross the entire square as in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, it has been separated into exclusive east and west sides, each only accessible via their respective [[gate]]. Of special note, Pokémon Platinum allows all three of the Sinnoh {{pkmn2|starter}} Pokémon and their entire [[List of Pokémon by evolution family|evolution families]].<br />
<br />
The rock huts serve no purpose in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl; however, in Pokémon Platinum, they contain warp points that send the {{player}} to another rock hut in the park. Each hut contains three warp points, accessed by walking to the front, left, or right while inside the hut. <br />
<br />
After taking an allowable Pokémon for a walk, players will find that their party has been fully healed.<br />

===Berry and Accessories man===<br />
In {{game|Platinum}}, a man who, once a day, will give the player five of a [[Berry]] or one [[Accessory]] appears in the eastern side of the park. When the player enters the Square, the man will be in one of the isolated locations only accessible through the teleporters in the huts (the teleporter on the north side of a hut will always lead to one of the huts connected to the park's entrance/exit).<br />
<br />
So long as the player stays within the park, the man will always offer the same item, but if the player has not accepted an item from the man, he may change the item he offers (as well as his position) if the player exits and reenters the park (such that the scene changes).<br />

==In the anime==<br />
[[File:Amity Square anime.png|thumb|250px|Amity Square in the anime{{tt|*|Dub only}}]]<br />
In ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training!]]'', [[Paul]] {{pkmn|battle}}d [[Cynthia]] in a location called {{tt|自然公園|しぜんこうえん}} ''Nature Park'', which was called '''Amity Square''' in the [[dub]].<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Amity Square seems to be [[Game Freak]]'s testing ground for the [[walking Pokémon]] system, as the company increased the number of sprites and animations from {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} to {{game|Platinum}}, effectively granting access to more {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The system would later come to fruition in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} in a more expanded state and with all [[List of Pokémon by index number (Generation IV)|Pokémon and Pokémon forms up to Generation IV]] supported.<br />
* The northern section of Amity Square draws inspiration from {{wp|Cappadocia}}, where houses have been carved from {{wp|Hoodoo (geology)|hoodoo}}s.<br />
* It is revealed by a citizen of [[Hearthome City]] that [[Mr. Backlot]], owner of the {{si|Pokémon Mansion}}, owns Amity Square. The women at the [[gate]]s of his mansion say that the owner can be found in somewhere on the grounds, but this is false as he is always inside the mansion.<br />
* If the "walk through walls" cheat code is used, the game will pre-select the first Pokémon in the [[party]], which will be taken into the garden with the {{player}}; however, it will not be able to be seen or be able to {{a|Pickup|pick up}} [[item]]s. The player only notices the Pokémon's presence when speaking to the receptionists of either entrance.<br />

Albeit minor (only consisting in the presence of wild Kecleon and one Go-Rock Grunt), there's also a location called ''Amity Square'' in [[Fall City]]. Even if that one doesn't deserve its own article, I propose a redirect of this to Amity Square (Sinnoh) --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 23:09, 4 June 2007 (UTC)<br />
:There are two [[Viridian Forest]]s too.

I had my Pikachu in the Square today and I got a Magost Berry, but it's not listed as one of the items that Pikachu can find... [[User:Manga-in-a-bottle|Manga-in-a-bottle]]<br />

== New glitch? ==<br />
<br />
I was playing platinum and walked out of amity square with my empoleon using the walkthrough walls cheat (not around the building through it) and went into a battle.In the battle there were 2 Lucas and 1 sent out my origin giratina and the other sent out a glitch Pokémon.

So you don't believe me? p.s. both glitch pokemon (there was one on the enemy team too) use struggle then faint.Also I was battling a psyduck but there was a shadow off to the side and there were sparkles coming off of nothing to the left.

== Question ==<br />
<br />
does walking in Amity Square with your pokémon cause it to raise any extra happiness? (e.g. seemed to remember that was mentioned somewhere and also many of the allowed pokémon are Happiness evolvers.) ZaphodBeeblebrox 21:47, 19 November 2008 (UTC)<br />
:Only {{p|Happiny}} and {{p|Buneary}} evolve by happiness and are let in. [[User:Dolphin2|Dolphins_are_awesome!]] 15:53, 22 December 2008 (UTC)<br />
::Not that I think they're still looking, but that really didn't answer the question. Maybe Zaphod just wants footprint ribbons faster, or is just curious about details. I'd answer, but I'm not sure. Zaphod mentioned your answer in the question and it would seem that s/he just wants to know if pokemon get happy faster there than the general pokeworld.

== Drifloon berry rarity ==<br />
<br />
I have doubts that the rarity of berries are ''rare'' at all for Drifloon. I haven't done extensive testing, but berries seem a lot more common than some accessories listed as 'common'. I was finding a purple scale a few weeks ago and here are the results:<br /><br />
belue berry - 3,<br />
black beard - 5,<br />
cornn berry - 7,<br />
durin berry - 1,<br />
magost berry - 6,<br />
narrow leaf - 1,<br />
narrow scale - 4,<br />
nomel berry - 10,<br />
pamtre berry - 1,<br />
purple scale - 1,<br />
rabuta berry - 10,<br />
red feather - 1,<br />
spelon berry - 1,<br />
watmel berry - 4,<br />
white moustache - 5,<br />
yellow feather - 3.<br />
<br />
Two berries got a massive 15.8% occurrence rate each, and berries overall occurred 68% of the time. Interestingly though, I seemed to get berries more often the longer I was in there. This might be luck, though, or perhaps the more accessories you have, the less the chance of finding them. -- [[User:Pokey|Pokey]] 07:35, 26 June 2010 (UTC)<br />

== Shroomish can find a big leaf in pearl? ==<br />
<br />
<br />
Shroomish found a big leaf in amity square on my Pearl version, literally 10 minutes ago. That's not on the list, and unfortunately I cannot venture to guess at it's rarity. unless someone wants to crack open the coding of amity square, that's all I've got on that, beyond a screenshot for proof.<br />
<br />
Attached screenshot for authenticity sake.<br />
<br />
Well... apparently I'm not "auto-confirmed" yet, so i cant upload my image. Anyone want to give me a backdoor into that?<br />
<br />
[[File:bigleaferror.jpg]]<br />
<br />
^^ until I can actually ADD that, I suppose I'll just place the big leaf into the list shared by Pikachu and Shroomish. I'm going to venture to guess that, since nobody else seems to have noticed it, it should go under the rare category. If someone wants more out of this, they can get it so that i can upload my image.<br />

<br />
does walking in Amity Square with your pokémon cause it to raise any extra happiness? (e.g. seemed to remember that was mentioned somewhere and also many of the allowed pokémon are Happiness evolvers.) ZaphodBeeblebrox 21:47, 19 November 2008 (UTC)<br />

::Not that I think they're still looking, but that really didn't answer the question. Maybe Zaphod just wants footprint ribbons faster, or is just curious about details. I'd answer, but I'm not sure.

== Drifloon berry rarity ==<br />
<br />
I have doubts that the rarity of berries are ''rare'' at all for Drifloon. I haven't done extensive testing, but berries seem a lot more common than some accessories listed as 'common'. I was finding a purple scale a few weeks ago and here are the results:<br /><br />
belue berry - 3,<br />
black beard - 5,<br />
cornn berry - 7,<br />
durin berry - 1,<br />
magost berry - 6,<br />
narrow leaf - 1,<br />
narrow scale - 4,<br />
nomel berry - 10,<br />
pamtre berry - 1,<br />
purple scale - 1,<br />
rabuta berry - 10,<br />
red feather - 1,<br />
spelon berry - 1,<br />
watmel berry - 4,<br />
white moustache - 5,<br />
yellow feather - 3.<br />
<br />
Two berries got a massive 15.8% occurrence rate each, and berries overall occurred 68% of the time. Interestingly though, I seemed to get berries more often the longer I was in there. This might be luck, though, or perhaps the more accessories you have, the less the chance of finding them. -- [[User:Pokey|Pokey]] 07:35, 26 June 2010 (UTC)<br />

<br />
does walking in Amity Square with your pokémon cause it to raise any extra happiness? (e.g. seemed to remember that was mentioned somewhere and also many of the allowed pokémon are Happiness evolvers.) ZaphodBeeblebrox 21:47, 19 November 2008 (UTC)<br />

::Not that I think they're still looking, but that really didn't answer the question. Maybe Zaphod just wants footprint ribbons faster, or is just curious about details. I'd answer, but I'm not sure.

== Drifloon berry rarity ==<br />
<br />
I have doubts that the rarity of berries are ''rare'' at all for Drifloon. I haven't done extensive testing, but berries seem a lot more common than some accessories listed as 'common'. I was finding a purple scale a few weeks ago and here are the results:<br /><br />
belue berry - 3,<br />
black beard - 5,<br />
cornn berry - 7,<br />
durin berry - 1,<br />
magost berry - 6,<br />
narrow leaf - 1,<br />
narrow scale - 4,<br />
nomel berry - 10,<br />
pamtre berry - 1,<br />
purple scale - 1,<br />
rabuta berry - 10,<br />
red feather - 1,<br />
spelon berry - 1,<br />
watmel berry - 4,<br />
white moustache - 5,<br />
yellow feather - 3.<br />
<br />
Two berries got a massive 15.8% occurrence rate each, and berries overall occurred 68% of the time. Interestingly though, I seemed to get berries more often the longer I was in there. This might be luck, though, or perhaps the more accessories you have, the less the chance of finding them. -- [[User:Pokey|Pokey]] 07:35, 26 June 2010 (UTC)<br />

<div>[[File:Pokérus Adventures.png|thumb|right|230px|Pokémon infected with Pokérus in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]<br />
The '''Pokérus''' (Japanese: '''ポケルス''' ''Pokérus''), from "Pokémon virus", is a microscopic life-form that may attach to {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, first appearing in the [[Generation II]] {{pkmn|games}}. <br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
<!--Do the nurse's comments differ between DPPt and HGSS?--><br />
Unlike other [[status ailment]]s, Pokérus cannot be healed at a [[Pokémon Center]] or with any [[status ailment healing item]], and can only be obtained by the Pokémon in question once. When a Pokémon has the Pokérus, it gains double the [[effort values]] from battling (i.e., fighting a {{p|Magikarp}} will give two {{stat|Speed}} EVs, rather than one). Effort points gained from [[vitamins]] and [[wings]] are not doubled. The infected Pokémon can infect other Pokémon with the virus for a period of about two days. However, the Pokérus timer can be delayed by several methods including placing the infected Pokémon in a PC Box.<br />
<br />
Pokérus has a 3 in 65,536 chance of being generated on a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, either {{pkmn2|wild}} or [[Pokémon breeding|bred]]. Through battling or capturing this wild Pokémon, {{player}}s could get this helpful virus onto their own Pokémon, and subsequently spread it around. Due to the overwhelmingly low chance of encountering the virus (about 1/3 of the chance to encounter a {{Shiny}} Pokémon), and the fact that most would not even recognize a Pokémon with the virus and may flee from it, many players would never have a Pokémon with the virus.<br />
<br />
In later generations, the Pokérus became more accessible, with worldwide trading facilitated by the [[Nintendo DS]]'s Wi-Fi capabilities beginning [[Generation IV]]. In fact, it is common courtesy to infect Pokémon to be traded on the Global Trade Station with Pokérus within some parts of the fandom. Also, a Pokémon's chances of being infected with the virus very slightly increase when a Pokémon has been traded from another game.<br />
<!--Proof of this last statement, please? What's the higher 'rus chance?--><br />
<br />
===Infection===<br />
When infected, a Pokémon's status screen will indicate it much as it does any other status condition (with icons being different for Generation III and IV, while Generation V has the same as Generation IV and Gen II having no icon at all). When another normal status condition, such as {{status|Sleep}}, affects the Pokémon, the Pokérus icon will be replaced. As long as the Pokémon is infected with Pokérus, it can spread the virus to the other Pokémon in the player's party. The infection may spread if the infected Pokémon is in the main party after a battle. An uninfected Pokémon must be next to a Pokémon infected with Pokérus in the main party for the virus to spread. If Pokémon that have already been infected and cured from Pokérus are in the main party and are on either side of a Pokémon currently with the disease, Pokérus will not spread after any amount of battles. Pokémon that are put into the [[PC]] will keep the status indefinitely. From Generation III onward, {{pkmn|Egg}}s may catch Pokérus like any other Pokémon.<br />
<br />
===After having the virus===<br />
Once a Pokémon's immune system has fought off the virus, they cannot spread it further, nor can it be spread to them by other Pokémon. In Generations II and III, a dot will appear on the Pokémon's status screen to indicate that they have had the virus previously, while in Generation IV and V, it will be a small smiley face. Though the virus is gone, its positive effects will remain, most specifically the ability for that Pokémon to gain double {{EV}}s.<br />
<br />
Any Pokémon on the player's party at the moment the system clock reaches midnight after a certain number of days in that position (number of days depends on the strain and generation) will become immune. An easy way to keep a "vessel" for future spreading is to always send the infected Pokémon to the PC, {{pkmn|Day Care}}, {{pkmn|Stadium 2}} (in [[Generation II]]), {{g|Box Ruby & Sapphire}} (in [[Generation III]]), or [[My Pokémon Ranch]] (in [[Generation IV]]) before midnight. The game also recognizes immunizing if the system is turned off and on again on the next day.<br />
<br />
===In Generation II===<br />
When the player first encounters the virus in one of the [[Generation II]] games, the nurse at the [[Pokémon Center]] will make note of it when the Pokémon is first healed after contracting it, saying that there are "small life forms" on the Pokémon. After leaving the Pokémon Center, [[Professor Elm]] will call the player to tell them that the virus has no effect and will wear off. A Pokémon with active Pokérus will list its status as such, and a Pokémon that has had Pokérus and is cured will have a small dot near its HP meter on the status screen.<br />
====Nurse's comments====<br />
"''Your <sc>Pokémon</sc> appear to have tiny life forms stuck to them.<br> Your <sc>Pokémon</sc> are healthy and seem to be fine.<br> But we can't tell you anything more at a <sc>Pokémon Center</sc>.''"<br />
====Elm's explanation====<br />
''"Hello, <player>?<br>I discovered an odd thing.<br>Apparently there's something called <sc>Pokérus</sc> that infects <sc>Pokémon</sc>.<br>Yes, it's like a virus, so it's called <sc>Pokérus</sc>.<br>It multiplies fast and infects other <sc>Pokémon</sc> too. But that's all.<br>It doesn't seem to do anything, and it goes away over time.<br>I guess it's nothing to worry about. Bye!"''<br />
<br />
====Technical information====<br />
In [[Generation II]], Pokérus is stored in a Pokémon's [[Pokémon data structure in Generation II|data structure]] as a single byte at offset 0x1C. Within the byte, the upper 4 bits (upper nibble) and lower 4 bits (lower nibble) are represented in hexadecimal format as '''XY''', where '''X''' represents the specific strand of Pokérus the Pokémon has contracted, and '''Y''' represents the number of days remaining before the infected Pokémon is cured of the virus.<br><br />
<br />
This means that there exist 256 possible states of Pokérus: 1 unaffected state, 240 infected states (39 legitimate and 201 hacked), 15 cured states:<br />
* An unaffected state is always represented as 0 (hex 00).<br />
* An infected state is represented by any number between 1 and 255 that has a remainder when divided by 16. In other words, when the lower nibble '''Y''' is nonzero, the Pokémon is infected.<br />
** For example, 33 (hex 21) represents an infected state, since 33 divided by 16 would produce 1 as a remainder.<br />
* A cured state is represented by any number between 1 and 255 that does not have a remainder when divided by 16. In other words, when the lower nibble '''Y''' is zero, the Pokémon is cured.<br />
** Possible 'cured' values can be 16, 32, 48, 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, 144, 160, 176, 192, 208, 224 or 240 (hex values 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, A0, B0, C0, D0, E0 or F0 respectively).<br />
<br />
=====Remaining days=====<br />
Whenever the game's internal clock strikes midnight, every Pokémon in the player's party has their Pokérus value decreased by one point. Once the '''Y''' value reaches 0, the Pokémon will be cured of Pokérus.<br><br />
For example, if a given Pokémon's Pokérus value was 65 (hex 41), it would decrease down to 64 (hex 40) and therefore be cured. However, if the value was 82 (hex 52), it would instead decrease down to 81 (hex 51). This means that if consistently left in the player's party, it is possible for a Pokémon to remain infected with Pokérus for a potential maximum of 15 days.<br />
<br />
=====Specific strain=====<br />
Whenever the game assigns a Pokérus value to any given Pokémon, '''Y''' values between 1 through 4 are used, depending upon the '''X''' value generated. (However, any '''Y''' value can be attained through hacking, meaning that if left in the player's party, a Pokémon can only remain infected with Pokérus for a legitimate maximum time span of 4 days.)<br />
<br />
The value of '''X''' represents the specific Pokérus strain that the Pokémon has been infected with:<br />
{| {{bluetable}}<br />
! style="background: #ccf" | Strand #<br>(X value)<br />
! style="background: #ccf" | Duration<br>(Y value)<br />
! style="background: #ccf" | Pokérus value<br />
|-<br />
| 00 || 1 day || 001 (hex 01)<br />
|-<br />
| 01 || 2 days || 018 (hex 12)<br />
|-<br />
| 02 || 3 days || 035 (hex 23)<br />
|-<br />
| 03 || 4 days || 052 (hex 34)<br />
|-<br />
| 04 || 1 day || 065 (hex 41)<br />
|-<br />
| 05 || 2 days || 082 (hex 52)<br />
|-<br />
| 06 || 3 days || 099 (hex 63)<br />
|-<br />
| 07 || 4 days || 116 (hex 74)<br />
|-<br />
| 08 || 1 day || 129 (hex 81)<br />
|-<br />
| 09 || 2 days || 146 (hex 92)<br />
|-<br />
| 10 (hex A) || 3 days || 163 (hex A3)<br />
|-<br />
| 11 (hex B) || 4 days || 180 (hex B4)<br />
|-<br />
| 12 (hex C) || 1 day || 193 (hex C1)<br />
|-<br />
| 13 (hex D) || 2 days || 210 (hex D2)<br />
|-<br />
| 14 (hex E) || 3 days || 227 (hex E3)<br />
|-<br />
| 15 (hex F) || 4 days || 244 (hex F4)<br />
|}<br />
<br />
For example, if a Pokémon has a Pokérus value of 50 (hex 32), meaning it has strain 3 and will be cured in 2 more days. If it were to infect another Pokémon, the new Pokémon would obtain the Pokérus value of 52 (hex 34), meaning it would instead be cured in 4 more days. The strain remains constant when copied over. The remaining number of days prior to being cured however, depends on the strain itself.<br />
<br />
Currently, there is no known way to determine how specific strains are generated by the game (other than the fact that there is a 3 in 65,536 chance of a wild Pokémon carrying Pokérus). However one of these 16 strains is illegitimate: Strain 0. This is because when Pokérus values between 1 through 15 (hexadecimals 01 through 0F) eventually decrease down to 0 (hexadecimal 00), a Pokémon would not only be cured of Pokérus, but would also lose any sign of having been infected in the first place—meaning that they could become reinfected at a later point in time.<br />
<br />
As a result, out of the 240 possible states of Pokérus infection, only 39 of them are considered legitimate. This can be calculated by adding up all of the 15 legitimate strains and multiplying each of them by the possible number of remaining infected days (2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 39).<br />
<br />
====Erasing Pokérus from a Pokémon====<br />
If a Pokémon with any stage of Pokérus (active or cured) is traded back to a [[Generation I]] game, or withdrawn from Stadium 2 by a Generation I game, all traces of that Pokémon having had Pokérus will disappear. This is because a Pokémon's Pokérus status is not saved in any form in the Generation I games, thereby making it possible for a Pokémon to legitimately contract Pokérus multiple times by trading it back and forth, once it becomes cured of a given infection.<br />
<br />
===In Generation III===<br />
The Pokérus operates in much the same way as in Generation II, though it can infect {{pkmn|Egg}}s too. Also, it can only be contracted or cured in {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. In {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, as well as {{pkmn|Colosseum}} and {{Pokémon XD}}, since the [[time]] function is absent, and a Pokémon with Pokérus will keep it indefinitely (it can't spread Pokérus, either)<!-- at least FRLG!-->, until it is transferred to the [[Hoenn]]-based games.<br />
<br />
====Nurse's comments====<br />
[[File:Pokerus screenshot RSE.png|thumb|right|240px|A player being told their Pokémon has caught Pokérus]]<br />
"''Your <sc>Pokémon</sc> may be infected with <sc>Pokérus</sc>.<br>Little is known about the <sc>Pokérus</sc> except that they are microscopic life-forms that attach to <sc>Pokémon</sc>.<br>While infected, <sc>Pokémon</sc> are said to grow exceptionally well.''"<br />
<br />
===In Generation IV===<br />
The mechanics remain the same from Generation III. Additionally, much like storage in {{g|Box Ruby & Sapphire}} and in the PC, storage in [[My Pokémon Ranch]] will keep a Pokémon's Pokérus status indefinitely.<br />
<br />
It will also double the effects of the new EV increasing items as well.<br />
<br />
In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, [[Professor Elm]] calls the player a little while after healing their first Pokémon with Pokérus and tells them that it has no effect and will wear off.<br />
<br />
If he is called back, he will claim that Pokémon will level up better with the Pokérus while infected.<br />
<br />
====Nurse's comments====<br />
"''Your Pokémon may be infected with the Pokérus.<br>Little is known about the Pokérus except that they are microscopic life-forms that attach to Pokémon.<br>While infected, Pokémon are said to grow exceptionally well.''"<br />
<br />
====Elm's explanation====<br />
When calling the player: "''Hello, <player>?<br>I discovered an odd thing.<br>Apparently there's something called <sc>Pokérus</sc> that infects <sc>Pokémon</sc>.<br>Yes, it's like a virus, so it's called <sc>Pokérus</sc>.<br>It multiplies fast and infects other <sc>Pokémon</sc> too. But that's all.<br>It doesn't seem to do anything, and it goes away over time.<br>I guess it's nothing to worry about. Bye!''"<br />
<br />
When called by the player: "''Hello, <player>?<br>It seems that <sc>Pokémon</sc> that have been infected with <sc>Pokérus</sc> level up better.<br>We're not quite sure why..."''<br />
<br />
===In Generation V===<br />
The mechanics remain more or less the same, sharing similarity to the strain phenomenon in [[Generation II]]. However, a difference would be that the icon that would appear if a Pokémon has previously had Pokérus would be a pinkish color instead of the former yellow/orange color.<br />
<br />
To determine if any Pokémon in the player's party is to be infected, the game calls the Mersenne Twister table and then discards the lower half (16 bits) of the 32 bit number, then does & 0x3FFF (bitwise and) on the result. If the result is 0, a Pokémon in the party will be infected.<br />
<br />
To determine what party member is to be infected, the game takes another value from the Mersenne Twister table, multiplies it by the party count, then discards the lowest 32 bits of the result. If that party member already has been infected, nothing else will happen.<br />
<br />
Now that the given Pokémon is to be infected, the game takes the next value from the Mersenne Twister table, discards the lower 24 bits, then enters a loop to determine the strain. The strains are biased towards the lower number strains. Once a strain has been determined, the duration the infection will last is determined. For a given strain ''s'', the duration is ''s''+''s''%4. <br />
<br />
Refer to the Generation II table for strains and duration, as it is exactly the same. However, strains 0x0 and 0x8 are not obtainable legitimately.<br />
<br />
====Nurse's comments====<br />
"''Oh... It looks like your Pokémon may be infected with the Pokérus. <br>Little is known about the Pokérus, except that it is a microscopic life-form that attaches to Pokémon. <br>While infected, Pokémon are said to grow exceptionally well.''"<br />
<br />
<br />
===In Generation VI===<br />
In Generation VI, Pokérus does not affect effort values gained during [[Super Training]].<br />
<br />
====Nurse's comments====<br />
"''Oh... It looks like your Pokémon may be infected with the Pokérus. <br>Little is known about the Pokérus, except that it is a microscopic life-form that attaches to Pokémon. <br>While infected, Pokémon are said to grow exceptionally well.''"<br />

==In the anime==<br />
In ''[[SS008|Oaknapped]]'', [[Dr. Namba]] explained to {{an|Professor Oak}} that the mysterious viral lifeform Pokérus is an important component of the Pokémon Power Acceleration Project (PPAP), a secret project that aims to infect Pokémon with Pokérus to evolve them at a faster rate. However, all of his specimens have died out. Professor Oak also explains that the term "Pokérus" was coined by combining the words "Pokémon" and "virus" together. Later, Professor Oak began researching about the Pokérus and [[Team Rocket]]'s true intentions of using it.<br />
<br />
==In the manga==<br />
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br />
Pokérus was discussed in ''[[PS439|Alternate Dimension Showdown IX]]'', when {{adv|Platinum}}'s team was discovered to have this virus and, as a result, became stronger. Her {{p|Froslass}}, {{p|Pachirisu}}, and {{p|Cherrim}} had it prior to being taken from the hospital, and then it spread to the rest of her party. At the hospital, [[Daisy Oak]] and [[Pokémon Professor#In the Pokémon Adventures manga|Yanase Berlitz]] realize the infection is, in fact, Pokérus.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Pokérus is an example of a mutualistic virus (while seemingly oxymoronic, a "virus" is classified by infecting cells, rather than negative effects), in which both host and virus benefit. Viruses with possible positive effects exist in the real world,<ref>http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v447/n7142/full/nature05762.html</ref> but all of Pokérus's known effects are objectively positive. A notable difference between biological viruses and the Pokérus is that biological viruses infect a host cell by mutating the cell's DNA. Pokérus only affects the host Pokémon's [[effort values]], not the host's [[individual values]], which are regarded as the Pokémon analogue to DNA.<br />
* The chance of encountering a [[Shiny Pokémon]] with Pokérus is 1/178,956,971. By comparison, the chance of getting struck by lightning is roughly 1/500,000, which means any given player is several hundred times more likely to get struck by lightning then to even encounter a Shiny pokemon with the Pokérus.<br />

'''Gastly''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゴース''' ''Ghos'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Poison}} Pokémon. It is the first {{t|Ghost}} type pokémon numerically and chronologically.<br />
<br />
It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Haunter}} starting at [[level]] 25, which evolves into {{p|Gengar}} when [[trade]]d.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
===Physiology===<br />
Gastly appears to be {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon consisting of only a head|nothing more than a black ball}} of ghostly matter or gas that is surrounded by a purple glow of smog. Gastly has big, white eyes and a mouth with a pair of fangs in it. Gastly's face is similar to {{p|Cloyster}}'s, but the two Pokémon aren't related.<br />
<br />
====Gender differences====<br />
None.<br />
<br />
===Special abilities===<br />
[[File:Gastly hands.png|thumb|200px|Gastly's "hands"]]<br />
Due to having a body made of gas, Gastly can slip into any place it wants. However, Gastly's body will dwindle away when exposed to a strong wind but it can probably regenerate itself later. A Gastly is capable of toppling an {{wp|Indian Elephant}} within two seconds by enveloping it in poisonous gas.<br />
<br />
Despite Gastly's evolutionary level, it is quite powerful at using special attacks such as {{m|Shadow Ball}}, {{m|Dark Pulse}}, {{m|Thunderbolt}}, and {{m|Energy Ball}}. Gastly can learn quite a few moves with all sorts of disruptive effects such as {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, {{m|Confuse Ray}}, {{m|Hypnosis}}, {{m|Taunt}}, and {{m|Embargo}}.<br />
<br />
There have been claims that on rare occasions, a Gastly can gain the ability to speak like a human and transform itself. However, it apparently can communicate with telepathy.<br />
<br />
Gastly can learn and use the elemental punches, despite appearing to have no hands. Though it can create hands from its gas.<br />
<br />
===Behavior===<br />
As a {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon, Gastly tend to be pranksters that go scaring people just for the fun of it. They are also proficient at sneaking up on unsuspecting prey and {{m|Hypnosis|putting it to sleep}} or poisoning it through their skin. As Gastly's body is blown away by wind, groups of them gather under the eaves of houses to prevent being blown away.<br />
<br />
===Habitat===<br />
[[File:Cave Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon}}]]<br />
Gastly live in old, dilapidated buildings and can also be found at cemeteries. It is a common sight in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], and [[Sinnoh]].<br />
<br />
===Diet===<br />
{{main|Pokémon food}}<br />
As the victims of Gastly's gas enveloping technique have been called prey, it can be presumed that it derives energy from them. It may also {{m|lick}} its prey.<br />
<br />
==In the anime==<br />
[[File:Gastly EP020.png|220px|thumb|right|Gastly in the anime]]<br />
===Major appearances===<br />
Gastly first appeared in ''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]''. This Gastly had the ability to [[talking Pokémon|talk]] and shape-shift. He kept posing himself as the spirit of the woman which legend said turned to stone after many years of waiting for her love to return to her. As the ghost of the maiden, Gastly kept on toying with the minds of young men.<br />
<br />
The first time a regular Gastly appeared was in ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]''. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} went to [[Lavender Town]] in search of a {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon to aid Ash in defeating [[Sabrina]]. It reappeared in a flashback in the [[EP024|following episode]].<br />
<br />
An [[Officer Jenny]] owned a Gastly in ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-volts]]''. This Gastly appeared to be the only Pokémon not affected by the psychic wave caused by Butch & Cassidy's {{p|Drowzee}}.<br />
<br />
[[Morty]] used a Gastly to battle Ash in ''[[EP182|From Ghost to Ghost]]''. In the same episode, multiple Gastly hypnotized {{TRT}}.<br />
<br />
A pair of Gastly were among a group of Ghost Pokémon living in an abandoned mine in ''[[AG146|Fear Factor Phony]]''. The Ghost Pokémon couldn't stand the partying {{T|Psychic}} Pokémon that lived in the nearby town, so they created a {{p|Haunter}}-like illusion to scare everyone away.<br />
<br />
===Minor appearances===<br />
A Gastly appeared in ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll!]]''.<br />
<br />
A Gastly made a brief cameo appearance in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''.<br />
<br />
A Gastly appeared in ''[[DP090|Ghoul Daze!]]''.<br />

==In the manga==<br />
[[File:Agatha Gastly Adventures.png|thumb|right|150px|[[Agatha]]'s Gastly, as seen in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]<br />
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br />
Gastly first appears in {{PAV|1}} of [[Pokémon Adventures]] under the ownership of [[Koga]], possessing the corpses of dead Pokémon in [[Pokémon Tower]]. {{adv|Red}}'s [[Saur|Bulbasaur]] manages to defeat it by sucking up the surrounding air with its bulb, along with Gastly's gaseous form, and expelling it in a {{m|SolarBeam}}. In the process, the two also freed Red's rival {{adv|Blue}}, who was under its ghostly possession.<br />
<br />
Gastly also forms as part of the {{type|Ghost}} army [[Agatha]] sends out to attack the [[Gym Leader]]s. She also has a Gastly as a member of her main team.<br />
<br />
[[Morty]] also has a Gastly which was used along with {{p|Misdreavus}} to battle {{p|Suicune}}.<br />
<br />
The [[Masked Man]] also used a Gastly in his team to capture {{p|Celebi}}, due to its type advantage. It was purposed to possess intruders that entered the [[Ilex Forest]]. Later, during the fight at the [[Indigo Plateau|Indigo Stadium]], it impaired {{p|Suicune}} using its {{m|Curse}} technique, locking it and [[Misty]] inside Suicune's crystal wall. It was later defeated by [[Eusine]]'s {{p|Haunter}}.<br />
<br />
Many Gastly also appear in the {{adv|Diamond & Pearl chapter}} when {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}} spend the night in the [[Old Chateau]].<br />

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===<br />
In ''[[PM007|Get Rid of The Ghost Pokémon!!]]'', while {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}}, [[Red's Clefairy|Clefairy]] and [[Red's Pikachu (Pocket Monsters)|Pikachu]] were in {{OBP|Blue|Pocket Monsters}}'s mansion, they stumble across a Gastly that Clefairy ends up battling. However, since Blue didn't officially control it, it is unknown if it belongs to him.<br />
<br />
A Gastly appeared in ''[[PM018|Which One is the Real Clefairy!?]]'' while Red had a confrontation with {{OBP|Giovanni|Pocket Monsters}} and his twin brother. This Gastly was out of its gas form.<br />
<br />
A Gastly took part in a baseball match in ''[[PM021|Fierce Competition at the Pokémon Baseball Tournament!]]''.<br />
<br />
A Gastly was with {{OBP|Green|Pocket Monsters}} in [[PM042]]. However, it is unknown if the Gastly is actually his.<br />
<br />
{{OBP|Giovanni|Pocket Monsters}} was revealed to have a Gastly when he was coming up with three grand schemes in [[PM047]]<br />
<br />
===In the Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys manga===<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Gastly's prototype name was "Spirit".<br />
* No other Pokémon have the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] as Gastly and {{p|Haunter|its}} {{p|Gengar|evolutions}}.<br />
* Gastly and its evolution {{p|Haunter}} are the [[List of Pokémon by weight|lightest Pokémon]] in existence.<br />
* Despite all of them being part {{t|Poison}} type, Gastly together with its [[evolution]]ary family are not able to learn Poison-type moves by leveling up.<br />
* Gastly's evolution line is the only Ghost-type family that requires the [[Silph Scope]] to be seen. Therefore, they must be the only ones that are invisible normally while in the wild; even then, they can only be seen in their native region of [[Kanto]].<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
Gastly seems to be based on general cartoonish {{wp|ghost}}s and spirits, or maybe a {{wp|will o' the wisp}}. It may also have been based on the Japanese {{wp|youkai}} sōgen bi, the decapitated head of a monk whose head is doomed to wander the Earth, consumed by fire. Its {{type|Poison}} is most likely a reference to poisonous or polluted gases.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
Gastly may be a combination of ''{{wp|gas}}'' and ''ghastly'' (dreadfully frightening or horrible).<br />
<br />
Ghos is a shortened form of ''{{wp|ghost}}'' and may also incorporate ''gas'' into its name.<br />
<br />
==In other languages==<br />
{{Other languages|type=ghost|type2=poison<br />

'''Cloyster''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パルシェン''' ''Parshen'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ice}} Pokémon.<br />
<br />
It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Shellder}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Water Stone}}.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
===Physiology===<br />
Cloyster is an enormous bivalve with a large rugged shell that features a number of spikes. Six of the spikes, 3 per side, are especially long and conical. Resembling turrets, they enhance the ability of the shell to protect the pokémon's soft insides from foes. Even so, the shell offers little in the way of protection against special attacks. Cloyster's shell has a nested gray-colored secondary shell inside its larger purple outer shell. Its {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon consisting of only a head|"head"}} and face resemble a very large black pearl, with a pronounced horn-like white spike jutting out above its "head." Its face is similar to {{p|Gastly}}, though the two Pokémon are not related. It is has been noted that the nature of the inner contents of a Cloyster's shell are not actually known due to the difficulty of observing them.<br />
<br />
====Gender differences====<br />
None.<br />
<br />
===Special abilities===<br />
Cloyster possesses incredible {{stat|Defense|defensive capabilities}} unrivaled anywhere else in the Kanto region. Cloyster’s entire fighting style is focused around its uncanny defense: its shell. Cloyster attacks by firing sharp spikes off of its shell via telling moves such as [[Spike Cannon (move)|spike cannon]] while it keeps clamped tightly shut. It is said to be impossible to open from the outside. Aside from its remarkable defense, Cloyster is also capable of unleashing a considerable arsenal of offenses, mostly including {{t|Water}} and {{type|Ice}} attacks, but reaching to {{t|Poison}} and {{type|Dark}} as well. This Pokémon is generally unmoving on land, though capable of moving quickly only underwater using syphon-jet propulsion much like any other bivalve. It is sometimes depicted as having the ability to inexplicably float through the air.<br />
<br />
===Behavior===<br />
In spite of its grim semblance and its menacing guise, Cloyster's behavior is actually quite unremarkable. In battle, the cowardly Cloyster clamps its monstrous, impenetrable shell tightly shut so that it may not be forced ajar. It then attacks recklessly and aimlessly in all directions with the random, ballistic fire of the spikes on its shell. This haphazard, hit-or-miss style of attack does not earn Cloyster high respect in the field of tactical gumption or cleverness. Though its personality may be lacking, the grimace on its face is perpetual.<br />
<br />
===Habitat===<br />
[[File:Sea Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon}}]]<br />
Cloyster live deep under the sea, usually on the seabed or amongst coral and rocks. Their range is basically the same as {{p|Shellder}}'s.<br />

==In the manga==<br />
[[File:Lorelei Cloyster Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Cloyster in Pokémon Adventures]]<br />
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br />
{{main|Lorelei's Cloyster}}<br />
First seen against {{adv|Yellow}} in conjunction with her {{p|Dewgong}}. Later, in the battle on [[Cerise Island]], it kept the voodoo dolls of {{adv|Green}} and [[Sabrina]] (which kept their arms bound by an ice cuff) safely out of reach while Lorelei {{pkmn|battle}}d them. Although it initially seemed that with Green out cold, Sabrina stood little chance, she feigned attacking repeatedly and slowly sapped Cloyster's strength using {{m|Mega Drain}}, eventually fainting it. Lorelei realized this, and quickly took back the dolls.<br />
<br />
Cloyster reappeared again in Lorelei's attempt to defend [[Quest Island|Seven Island]]. It is then remarked that Cloyster is the strongest fighter Lorelei has in her arsenal due to the tough shell it possesses, said to withstand the damage of a Napalm Bomb. However, though they fought valiantly and pushed [[Sird]] to her limits, ultimately the insidious villain won by having her {{p|Starmie}} {{m|camouflage}} itself and attack where they couldn't defend.<br />
<br />
The boss of Team Rocket, {{adv|Giovanni}}, is shown in several rounds using Cloyster. He used it to freeze two {{p|Magmar}} after having a chat with {{adv|Red}}. Then, when Red came to beat him, he used it to freeze [[Poli]].<br />
<br />
In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Cloyster is drawn by [[Mato]] as having a blue marking like a jewel on its head, beneath the spike. The official art by [[Ken Sugimori]], however, does not. This is likely because the white circle seen on Cloyster's head in most early sprites and the Generation I Sugimori art was interpreted by Mato as a jewel, but was actually intended just to be glare. [[Satoshi Yamamoto]], who took over starting at {{PAV|10}}, did not make the same error.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
[[File:CloysterShell.png|thumb|right|250px|A shell without a Cloyster in it.]]<br />
* Cloyster has the highest {{stat|Defense}} of both Water and Ice types.<br />
* Cloyster's {{2v|Red|Blue}}' sprite shows its shell positioned horizontally instead of vertically.<br />
* Although it is stated many times in the Pokédex entry for Cloyster that its innards have never been seen, in the seventh episode of the original series, during the events at the [[Cerulean Gym]] a hollow Cloyster shell is shown hanging from the ceiling. It apparently had been reused as a loudspeaker. This leaves wide open the possibility that a Cloyster's innards could have been observed, if the shell is from the real thing.<br />
* It is never confirmed that this shell came from an actual Cloyster; it may be a man-made ornament. This would imply that people make fake Cloyster shells somewhere in the pokemon world, probably as one among the many, many types of pokémon merchandise.<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
It appears to be based on a {{wp|bivalve}}, more specifically the genus {{wp|spondylus}}, with a black {{wp|pearl}} as its head.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
Cloyster is a pun on ''cloister'' (to seclude or shelter oneself) which contains the word, ''{{wp|oyster}}'' or is a portmantaeu of ''clam'' and ''oyster''.<br />
<br />
Parshen may be a combination of パール ''{{wp|pearl}}'' and シェル ''shell''.<br />

'''Cloyster''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パルシェン''' ''Parshen'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ice}} Pokémon.<br />
<br />
It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Shellder}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Water Stone}}.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
===Physiology===<br />
Cloyster is an enormous bivalve with a large rugged shell that features a number of spikes. Six of the spikes, 3 per side, are especially long and conical. Resembling turrets, they enhance the ability of the shell to protect the pokémon's soft insides from foes. Even so, the shell offers little in the way of protection against special attacks. Cloyster's shell has a nested gray-colored secondary shell inside its larger purple outer shell. Its {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon consisting of only a head|"head"}} and face resemble a very large black pearl, with a pronounced horn-like white spike jutting out above its "head." Its face is similar to {{p|Gastly}}, though the two Pokémon are not related. It is has been noted that the nature of the inner contents of a Cloyster's shell are not actually known due to the difficulty of observing them.<br />
<br />
====Gender differences====<br />
None.<br />
<br />
===Special abilities===<br />
Cloyster possesses incredible {{stat|Defense|defensive capabilities}} unrivaled anywhere else in the Kanto region. Cloyster’s entire fighting style is focused around its uncanny defense: its shell. Cloyster attacks by firing sharp spikes off of its shell via telling moves such as [[Spike Cannon (move)|spike cannon]] while it keeps clamped tightly shut. It is said to be impossible to open from the outside. Aside from its remarkable defense, Cloyster is also capable of unleashing a considerable arsenal of offenses, mostly including {{t|Water}} and {{type|Ice}} attacks, but reaching to {{t|Poison}} and {{type|Dark}} as well. This Pokémon is generally unmoving on land, though capable of moving quickly only underwater using syphon-jet propulsion much like any other bivalve. It is sometimes depicted as having the ability to inexplicably float through the air.<br />
<br />
===Behavior===<br />
In spite of its grim semblance and its menacing guise, Cloyster's behavior is actually quite unremarkable. In battle, the cowardly Cloyster clamps its monstrous, impenetrable shell tightly shut so that it may not be forced ajar. It then attacks recklessly and aimlessly in all directions with the random, ballistic fire of the spikes on its shell. This haphazard, hit-or-miss style of attack does not earn Cloyster high respect in the field of tactical gumption or cleverness. Though its personality may be lacking, the grimace on its face is perpetual.<br />
<br />
===Habitat===<br />
[[File:Sea Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon}}]]<br />
Cloyster live deep under the sea, usually on the seabed or amongst coral and rocks. Their range is basically the same as {{p|Shellder}}'s.<br />

==In the manga==<br />
[[File:Lorelei Cloyster Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Cloyster in Pokémon Adventures]]<br />
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br />
{{main|Lorelei's Cloyster}}<br />
First seen against {{adv|Yellow}} in conjunction with her {{p|Dewgong}}. Later, in the battle on [[Cerise Island]], it kept the voodoo dolls of {{adv|Green}} and [[Sabrina]] (which kept their arms bound by an ice cuff) safely out of reach while Lorelei {{pkmn|battle}}d them. Although it initially seemed that with Green out cold, Sabrina stood little chance, she feigned attacking repeatedly and slowly sapped Cloyster's strength using {{m|Mega Drain}}, eventually fainting it. Lorelei realized this, and quickly took back the dolls.<br />
<br />
Cloyster reappeared again in Lorelei's attempt to defend [[Quest Island|Seven Island]]. It is then remarked that Cloyster is the strongest fighter Lorelei has in her arsenal due to the tough shell it possesses, said to withstand the damage of a Napalm Bomb. However, though they fought valiantly and pushed [[Sird]] to her limits, ultimately the insidious villain won by having her {{p|Starmie}} {{m|camouflage}} itself and attack where they couldn't defend.<br />
<br />
The boss of Team Rocket, {{adv|Giovanni}}, is shown in several rounds using Cloyster. He used it to freeze two {{p|Magmar}} after having a chat with {{adv|Red}}. Then, when Red came to beat him, he used it to freeze [[Poli]].<br />
<br />
In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Cloyster is drawn by [[Mato]] as having a blue marking like a jewel on its head, beneath the spike. The official art by [[Ken Sugimori]], however, does not. This is likely because the white circle seen on Cloyster's head in most early sprites and the Generation I Sugimori art was interpreted by Mato as a jewel, but was actually intended just to be glare. [[Satoshi Yamamoto]], who took over starting at {{PAV|10}}, did not make the same error.<br />
<br />
===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===<br />
{{main|Lorelei's Cloyster}}<br />
[[Lorelei]]'s Cloyster is the first opponent {{Zensho|Satoshi}} faces in the Pokémon League.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
[[File:CloysterShell.png|thumb|right|250px|A shell without a Cloyster in it.]]<br />
* Cloyster has the highest {{stat|Defense}} of both Water and Ice types.<br />
* Cloyster's {{2v|Red|Blue}}' sprite shows its shell positioned horizontally instead of vertically.<br />
* Although it is stated many times in the Pokédex entry for Cloyster that its innards have never been seen, in the seventh episode of the original series, during the events at the [[Cerulean Gym]] a hollow Cloyster shell is shown hanging from the ceiling. It apparently had been reused as a loudspeaker. This leaves wide open the possibility that a Cloyster's innards could have been observed.<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
It appears to be based on a {{wp|bivalve}}, more specifically the genus {{wp|spondylus}}, with a black {{wp|pearl}} as its head.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
Cloyster is a pun on ''cloister'' (to seclude or shelter oneself) which contains the word, ''{{wp|oyster}}'' or is a portmantaeu of ''clam'' and ''oyster''.<br />
<br />
Parshen may be a combination of パール ''{{wp|pearl}}'' and シェル ''shell''.<br />

::::Understood. But seriously, you don't have to be a smart Alec. I came to you for help, not insults.

== Help in Floccesy Ranch ==<br />
<br />
You recently edited floccesy ranch, removing the cleanup tag i added back when the encounter rates were bad.<br />
There was a discussion on the talk page about the encounter rates and how the original ones there were wrong.<br />
I put some placeholder ones in, which were then replaced by rarities from the official strategy guide.<br />
They have since been replaced by someone who has not bothered to comment on the talk page, and thus you thought the cleanp was resolved when those who havn't read the talk page put values in.<br />
Could you help, and reconsider the cleanup tag?----[[User:Aquatix|<span style="color:#0077FF">'''Aquatix'''</span>]] <small>''([[User talk:Aquatix|<span style="color:#47A9FF">talk to me!</span>]])''</small> 12:00, 5 November 2012 (UTC)<br />
:I can't really help with the encounter rates because I don't have access to the game data and I don't own any guidebooks. I removed the {{template|cleanup}} tag because the correct tag for that situation is the {{template|incomplete}} tag, which was already in the article.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|<font color="#AB0909">電</font><font color="#063A73">禅</font>]]<small>[[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|<font color="#fff" face="Tahoma"><span style="text-shadow:#000 0.2em 0.1em 0.1em; class=texhtml">Den Zen</span></font>]]</small>''' 13:50, 5 November 2012 (UTC)<br />

==John Loeffler==<br />
I undid the hiding, and put "according to john loeffler." all admins, leave me alone about this, because i was asked to put this there by John himself. the facebook accuont said that his name was John Loeffler, he lived in New York city and that he is a composer and singer, so that's proof that it's the real one. i do not know how to send links of the facebook conversation to you without revealing my realk name, (Christian Woods is my sudanym, like how Ted Lewis is Ed Paul) but i do know this: John Loeffler is going to try to check on this page within 24 hours, and i want him to see to his satisfaction that i did the edit, just to show that i kept my word, mmkay?<br />
side note: You can send Kenji girl after me, but i know that i'm not wrong, and that i'm not operating against pollicy, i swear on it. I'm nearly taking a request and allowing the information to be given out. it's not like john said "But don't tell anyone, it's a big big secret!" or anything, so don't try and make it a secret, mmkay? mmkay? thanks. and admins, i don't want any infractions because of this. i just want it to get out there and to let people see it, just as john asked me to. thanks.

== Dragon Rage in BW085 ==<br />
<br />
Why not include that error about Dragon Rage being a critical hit? Who determines which aspects of the games are adopted into the anime and which aren't? Because it seems like a helluva lot else does. In fact, we'd have to go back and remove roughly half of all errors ever added because the anime ''may'' work under different rules. The anime, which I need not remind, is based on the games. Heck, for all we know, the anime writers ''intentionally'' wrote that Electric doesn't affect Rock-types when they made that "error" about a half-dozen times in the first season. We should just go ahead and say that indeed, a Rhyhorn is vulnerable to Electricity in its horn and mouth. It's the same logic (rather, lack thereof). Water beats Fire, Pikachu's Static Ability causes Paralysis, and Dragon Rage does 40 damage. Even something as specific as a Pokémon's level is mentioned several times. Why does one person set the precedent for a piece of noteworthy trivia? I don't care if he or she's an admin, or even if there is a circle of admins who agree with him/her, clearly there are four people who made the effort to note that information. Let's not forget either that whatever precedents the Bulbapedia staff have established are not automatically what the writers intended. Also, you'd think that instead of complaining each time the same reasonable error was added, you guys could add a handy-dandy <!-- hidden message --> (hidden message) in the Error section. --[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|IWannaBeTheVeryBest]] ([[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|talk]]) 07:10, 16 November 2012 (UTC)<br />
: So apparently someone had the sense to put that message in after the fourth person added the error. Clap-clap. Here's another problem: the writer says that it's because Cilan uses a "completely different term"? I'm sorry, maybe he said something else in Farsi, but in ''English'' he said it "looks like a critical hit!" Come on. I don't even need to point out how this person's definition of "completely different" is laughable. --[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|IWannaBeTheVeryBest]] ([[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|talk]]) 07:18, 16 November 2012 (UTC)<br />
::Eh, the ''English'' version is just a dub. In the ''original'' Japanese version, he just said "Kibago hit the target" (this can be mentioned in the Dub edits section). Also, Dragon Rage obviously works differently in the anime than it does in the games, because there are no HPs (and levels were quickly retconned to not exist). Or do you think that Gary's Golem had less than 40 HP? If you still disagree, you should contact {{u|Kenji-girl}}.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|<font color="#AB0909">電</font><font color="#063A73">禅</font>]]<small>[[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|<font color="#fff" face="Tahoma"><span style="text-shadow:#000 0.2em 0.1em 0.1em; class=texhtml">Den Zen</span></font>]]</small>''' 14:09, 16 November 2012 (UTC)<br />

I noticed you fixed the redlinks in my pokémon subpage.

== Too large? ==<br />
<br />
For a while now, I was looking after the [[Pokémon.com online games]] article, as no one seemed to update it. It is still incomplete (needs info on a recently released game, etc.). Just now, I noticed something: it surpasses the [[Décor]] article, which has an oversize notice, by around 12k bytes, yet the former has neither an oversize notice nor an indication of suggesting separate pages. Also, I plan on incorporating some [[User:Berrenta /Trophy|trophy tables that are in the works]], which would make the article larger. Do you think there should be subpages for trophies and/or pre-revamp games? I asked on the article's talkpage and did not get a response yet. [[User:Berrenta|Berrenta]] ([[User talk:Berrenta|talk]]) 18:46, 15 December 2012 (UTC)<br />
:The Décor article has the oversized and merge tags because it has so many templates that some of them can't even be seen. The Pokémon.com games has almost zero templates so we don't have to split it and you can add the tables there when they are ready.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|<font color="#AB0909">電</font><font color="#063A73">禅</font>]]<small>[[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|<font color="#fff" face="Tahoma"><span style="text-shadow:#000 0.2em 0.1em 0.1em; class=texhtml">Den Zen</span></font>]]</small>''' 19:24, 15 December 2012 (UTC)<br />

I am new and would like some advice on making better edits to this site ([[User:Icestar649|Icestar649]] ([[User talk:Icestar649|talk]]) 00:08, 20 December 2012 (UTC))<br />
:Pretty much [[User talk:Crystal Talian#Moving Sections|what Crystal said]]. Most importantly, read the {{bp|Manual of style}} very well and add a period/question mark/exclamation mark after every sentence.

I see how Forretress' trivia was unnotable even though characters in the anime don't usually get anything other than standard Poké Balls.

Thanks for catching my mistake on {{TCG ID|Vending|Pidgeotto|S3}}. To be honest, I'm rather frazzled and distracted by the sudden interest in the [[TCG move errors]] page. Our database is no where near ready to tackle that page fully and accurately, and I'm just kind of disappointed no one came to talk to me about my plans for that page before doing it. (There are 3 tasks I wanted to have finished before that move error page was even considered, since they would make that undertaking so much easier.) Anyway, that's not at all your fault...I just appreciate your help in handling some of the debris that is falling because of the work on that page.

== Pokemon shipwrek ==<br />
In the Hindi dub instead of "Lataak ki Rassi" {Vine Whip} they by mistakenly called it "Dhaga chodo" which literally means <br />
release thread.So I am not objecting you as you are a Senior Administrator but as I know Hindi that move was said wrong.<br />
So I think that your edit should be reverted as I gave the correct information and I am telling you that after that in NO Hindi<br />
dub Vine Whip was called "Dhaga Chodo" from then it was always called "Lataak ki rassi" so I think that was a dub mistake<br />
because not before not afterwards not ever it was called dhaga chodo but I am NOT objecting you but I think you should one<br />
more time think over it.<br />
Thanking You <br />
Yours faithfully<br />

::Speaking of Abilities, on the page itself, I wanted to write about how their game mechanics differ from the anime ones such as the ones that do not activate despite meeting the requirements such as {{a|Sand Stream}}, but I don't know how to word it.

:::I'm not sure how to word it either.

Thank you for adding the information to the Berry pages! However, make sure when you're writing Pokémon that you include the accented e (é) and to capitalize it.

== Cloyster resized. ==<br />
<br />
There's no need to upload smaller one. I fixed the image (as well as grammar, it's as far as I know can mean either "it is" or "it has", its =/= it's). Look at the page, you see I am using the normal one. Also it's good idea to put the images at the top of section. Sometimes this trick is useful - Eg. Colress' artwork is in reality ''bigger'' than what you uploaded but it's resized for the article. [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] ([[User talk:Marked +-+-+|talk]])<br />
<br />
thanks. Sorry for the it's/its error. I'm good with being expressive, but sometimes little grammatical things like that slip by. I try to keep a lid on it but stuff gets through.</div>Qprimehttps://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Gastly_(Pok%C3%A9mon)&diff=1874876Gastly (Pokémon)2013-04-02T09:54:52Z<p>Qprime: expanded trivia</p>

'''Gastly''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゴース''' ''Ghos'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Poison}} Pokémon. <br />
<br />
It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Haunter}} starting at [[level]] 25, which evolves into {{p|Gengar}} when [[trade]]d.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
===Physiology===<br />
Gastly appears to be {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon consisting of only a head|nothing more than a black ball}} of ghostly matter or gas that is surrounded by a purple glow of smog. Gastly has big, white eyes and a mouth with a pair of fangs in it. Gastly's face is similar to {{p|Cloyster}}'s, but the two Pokémon aren't related.<br />
<br />
====Gender differences====<br />
None.<br />
<br />
===Special abilities===<br />
[[File:Gastly hands.png|thumb|200px|Gastly's "hands"]]<br />
Due to having a body made of gas, Gastly can slip into any place it wants. However, Gastly's body will dwindle away when exposed to a strong wind but it can probably regenerate itself later. A Gastly is capable of toppling an {{wp|Indian Elephant}} within two seconds by enveloping it in poisonous gas.<br />
<br />
Despite Gastly's evolutionary level, it is quite powerful at using special attacks such as {{m|Shadow Ball}}, {{m|Dark Pulse}}, {{m|Thunderbolt}}, and {{m|Energy Ball}}. Gastly can learn quite a few moves with all sorts of disruptive effects such as {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, {{m|Confuse Ray}}, {{m|Hypnosis}}, {{m|Taunt}}, and {{m|Embargo}}.<br />
<br />
There have been claims that on rare occasions, a Gastly can gain the ability to speak like a human and transform itself. However, it apparently can communicate with telepathy.<br />
<br />
Gastly can learn and use the elemental punches, despite appearing to have no hands. Though it can create hands from its gas.<br />
<br />
===Behavior===<br />
As a {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon, Gastly tend to be pranksters that go scaring people just for the fun of it. They are also proficient at sneaking up on unsuspecting prey and {{m|Hypnosis|putting it to sleep}} or poisoning it through their skin. As Gastly's body is blown away by wind, groups of them gather under the eaves of houses to prevent being blown away.<br />
<br />
===Habitat===<br />
[[File:Cave Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon}}]]<br />
Gastly live in old, dilapidated buildings and can also be found at cemeteries. It is a common sight in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], and [[Sinnoh]].<br />
<br />
===Diet===<br />
{{main|Pokémon food}}<br />
As the victims of Gastly's gas enveloping technique have been called prey, it can be presumed that it derives energy from them. It may also {{m|lick}} its prey.<br />
<br />
==In the anime==<br />
[[File:Gastly EP020.png|220px|thumb|right|Gastly in the anime]]<br />
===Major appearances===<br />
Gastly first appeared in ''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]''. This Gastly had the ability to [[talking Pokémon|talk]] and shape-shift. He kept posing himself as the spirit of the woman which legend said turned to stone after many years of waiting for her love to return to her. As the ghost of the maiden, Gastly kept on toying with the minds of young men.<br />
<br />
The first time a regular Gastly appeared was in ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]''. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} went to [[Lavender Town]] in search of a {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon to aid Ash in defeating [[Sabrina]]. It reappeared in a flashback in the [[EP024|following episode]].<br />
<br />
An [[Officer Jenny]] owned a Gastly in ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-volts]]''. This Gastly appeared to be the only Pokémon not affected by the psychic wave caused by Butch & Cassidy's {{p|Drowzee}}.<br />
<br />
[[Morty]] used a Gastly to battle Ash in ''[[EP182|From Ghost to Ghost]]''. In the same episode, multiple Gastly hypnotized {{TRT}}.<br />
<br />
A pair of Gastly were among a group of Ghost Pokémon living in an abandoned mine in ''[[AG146|Fear Factor Phony]]''. The Ghost Pokémon couldn't stand the partying {{T|Psychic}} Pokémon that lived in the nearby town, so they created a {{p|Haunter}}-like illusion to scare everyone away.<br />
<br />
===Minor appearances===<br />
A Gastly appeared in ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll!]]''.<br />
<br />
A Gastly made a brief cameo appearance in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''.<br />
<br />
A Gastly appeared in ''[[DP090|Ghoul Daze!]]''.<br />

[[File:Agatha Gastly Adventures.png|thumb|right|150px|[[Agatha]]'s Gastly, as seen in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]<br />
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br />
Gastly first appears in {{PAV|1}} of [[Pokémon Adventures]] under the ownership of [[Koga]], possessing the corpses of dead Pokémon in [[Pokémon Tower]]. {{adv|Red}}'s [[Saur|Bulbasaur]] manages to defeat it by sucking up the surrounding air with its bulb, along with Gastly's gaseous form, and expelling it in a {{m|SolarBeam}}. In the process, the two also freed Red's rival {{adv|Blue}}, who was under its ghostly possession.<br />
<br />
Gastly also forms as part of the {{type|Ghost}} army [[Agatha]] sends out to attack the [[Gym Leader]]s. She also has a Gastly as a member of her main team.<br />
<br />
[[Morty]] also has a Gastly which was used along with {{p|Misdreavus}} to battle {{p|Suicune}}.<br />
<br />
The [[Masked Man]] also used a Gastly in his team to capture {{p|Celebi}}, due to its type advantage. It was purposed to possess intruders that entered the [[Ilex Forest]]. Later, during the fight at the [[Indigo Plateau|Indigo Stadium]], it impaired {{p|Suicune}} using its {{m|Curse}} technique, locking it and [[Misty]] inside Suicune's crystal wall. It was later defeated by [[Eusine]]'s {{p|Haunter}}.<br />
<br />
Many Gastly also appear in the {{adv|Diamond & Pearl chapter}} when {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}} spend the night in the [[Old Chateau]].<br />
<br />
===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===<br />
In ''[[PM007|Get Rid of The Ghost Pokémon!!]]'', while {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}}, [[Red's Clefairy|Clefairy]] and [[Red's Pikachu (Pocket Monsters)|Pikachu]] were in {{OBP|Blue|Pocket Monsters}}'s mansion, they stumble across a Gastly that Clefairy ends up battling. However, since Blue didn't officially control it, it is unknown if it belongs to him.<br />
<br />
A Gastly appeared in ''[[PM018|Which One is the Real Clefairy!?]]'' while Red had a confrontation with {{OBP|Giovanni|Pocket Monsters}} and his twin brother. This Gastly was out of its gas form.<br />
<br />
A Gastly took part in a baseball match in ''[[PM021|Fierce Competition at the Pokémon Baseball Tournament!]]''.<br />
<br />
A Gastly was with {{OBP|Green|Pocket Monsters}} in [[PM042]]. However, it is unknown if the Gastly is actually his.<br />
<br />
{{OBP|Giovanni|Pocket Monsters}} was revealed to have a Gastly when he was coming up with three grand schemes in [[PM047]]<br />
<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Gastly's prototype name was "Spirit".<br />
* No other Pokémon have the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] as Gastly and {{p|Haunter|its}} {{p|Gengar|evolutions}}. Due to this fact during the first generation there were no pure ghost types as all existing ghost types were also poison types.<br />
* Gastly and its evolution {{p|Haunter}} are the [[List of Pokémon by weight|lightest Pokémon]] in existence.<br />
* Despite all of them being part {{t|Poison}} type, Gastly together with its [[evolution]]ary family are not able to learn Poison-type moves by leveling up.<br />
* Gastly's evolution line is the only Ghost-type family that requires the [[Silph Scope]] to be seen. Therefore, they must be the only ones that are invisible normally while in the wild; even then, they can only be seen in their native region of [[Kanto]].<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
Gastly seems to be based on general cartoonish {{wp|ghost}}s and spirits, or maybe a {{wp|will o' the wisp}}. It may also have been based on the Japanese {{wp|youkai}} sōgen bi, the decapitated head of a monk whose head is doomed to wander the Earth, consumed by fire. Its {{type|Poison}} is most likely a reference to poisonous or polluted gases.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
Gastly may be a combination of ''{{wp|gas}}'' and ''ghastly'' (dreadfully frightening or horrible).<br />
<br />
Ghos is a shortened form of ''{{wp|ghost}}'' and may also incorporate ''gas'' into its name.<br />

'''Gastly''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゴース''' ''Ghos'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Poison}} Pokémon. <br />
<br />
It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Haunter}} starting at [[level]] 25, which evolves into {{p|Gengar}} when [[trade]]d.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
===Physiology===<br />
Gastly is an example of what would seem to be a non-biological organism, that is, it dosen't appear to have many of the traits related to life as we understand it. Gastly appears to be {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon consisting of only a head|nothing more than a dense black nucleus}} of ghostly matter or gas that is surrounded by a thinner aura of purple smog. Gastly has big, white eyes and a mouth with a pair of fangs in it. The attachment of these appendages to the rest of its body is ill-defined at best, most often depicted as hovering just before the nuclious within the smog aura. Gastly's face is similar in style to {{p|Cloyster}}'s although the two Pokémon share absolutely no relation. It is variously stated that ghastly is made entirely of gas, and its evolutionary line has repeatedly demonstrated it's ability to pass through solid objects, so it is safe to assume that there is no solid structure anywhere in this pokémon's physiology.<br />
<br />
====Gender differences====<br />
None.<br />
<br />
===Special abilities===<br />
[[File:Gastly hands.png|thumb|200px|Gastly's "hands"]]<br />
Due to having a body made of gas, Gastly can slip into any place it wants. However, Gastly's body will dwindle away when exposed to a strong wind but it can probably regenerate itself later. A Gastly is capable of toppling an {{wp|Indian Elephant}} within two seconds by enveloping it in poisonous gas.<br />
<br />
Despite Gastly's evolutionary level, it is quite powerful at using special attacks such as {{m|Shadow Ball}}, {{m|Dark Pulse}}, {{m|Thunderbolt}}, and {{m|Energy Ball}}. Gastly can learn quite a few moves with all sorts of disruptive effects such as {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, {{m|Confuse Ray}}, {{m|Hypnosis}}, {{m|Taunt}}, and {{m|Embargo}}.<br />
<br />
There have been claims that on rare occasions, a Gastly can gain the ability to speak like a human and transform itself. However, it apparently can communicate with telepathy.<br />
<br />
Gastly can learn and use the elemental punches, despite appearing to have no hands. Though it can create hands from its gas.<br />
<br />
===Behavior===<br />
As a {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon, Gastly tend to be pranksters that go scaring people just for the fun of it. They are also proficient at sneaking up on unsuspecting prey and {{m|Hypnosis|putting it to sleep}} or poisoning it through their skin. As Gastly's body is blown away by wind, groups of them gather under the eaves of houses to prevent being blown away.<br />
<br />
===Habitat===<br />
[[File:Cave Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon}}]]<br />
Gastly live in old, dilapidated buildings and can also be found at cemeteries. It is a common sight in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], and [[Sinnoh]].<br />
<br />
===Diet===<br />
{{main|Pokémon food}}<br />
As the victims of Gastly's gas enveloping technique have been called prey, it can be presumed that it derives energy from them. It may also {{m|lick}} its prey.<br />
<br />
==In the anime==<br />
[[File:Gastly EP020.png|220px|thumb|right|Gastly in the anime]]<br />
===Major appearances===<br />
Gastly first appeared in ''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]''. This Gastly had the ability to [[talking Pokémon|talk]] and shape-shift. He kept posing himself as the spirit of the woman which legend said turned to stone after many years of waiting for her love to return to her. As the ghost of the maiden, Gastly kept on toying with the minds of young men.<br />
<br />
The first time a regular Gastly appeared was in ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]''. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} went to [[Lavender Town]] in search of a {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon to aid Ash in defeating [[Sabrina]]. It reappeared in a flashback in the [[EP024|following episode]].<br />
<br />
An [[Officer Jenny]] owned a Gastly in ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-volts]]''. This Gastly appeared to be the only Pokémon not affected by the psychic wave caused by Butch & Cassidy's {{p|Drowzee}}.<br />
<br />
[[Morty]] used a Gastly to battle Ash in ''[[EP182|From Ghost to Ghost]]''. In the same episode, multiple Gastly hypnotized {{TRT}}.<br />
<br />
A pair of Gastly were among a group of Ghost Pokémon living in an abandoned mine in ''[[AG146|Fear Factor Phony]]''. The Ghost Pokémon couldn't stand the partying {{T|Psychic}} Pokémon that lived in the nearby town, so they created a {{p|Haunter}}-like illusion to scare everyone away.<br />
<br />
===Minor appearances===<br />
A Gastly appeared in ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll!]]''.<br />
<br />
A Gastly made a brief cameo appearance in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''.<br />
<br />
A Gastly appeared in ''[[DP090|Ghoul Daze!]]''.<br />

==In the manga==<br />
[[File:Agatha Gastly Adventures.png|thumb|right|150px|[[Agatha]]'s Gastly, as seen in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]<br />
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br />
Gastly first appears in {{PAV|1}} of [[Pokémon Adventures]] under the ownership of [[Koga]], possessing the corpses of dead Pokémon in [[Pokémon Tower]]. {{adv|Red}}'s [[Saur|Bulbasaur]] manages to defeat it by sucking up the surrounding air with its bulb, along with Gastly's gaseous form, and expelling it in a {{m|SolarBeam}}. In the process, the two also freed Red's rival {{adv|Blue}}, who was under its ghostly possession.<br />
<br />
Gastly also forms as part of the {{type|Ghost}} army [[Agatha]] sends out to attack the [[Gym Leader]]s. She also has a Gastly as a member of her main team.<br />
<br />
[[Morty]] also has a Gastly which was used along with {{p|Misdreavus}} to battle {{p|Suicune}}.<br />
<br />
The [[Masked Man]] also used a Gastly in his team to capture {{p|Celebi}}, due to its type advantage. It was purposed to possess intruders that entered the [[Ilex Forest]]. Later, during the fight at the [[Indigo Plateau|Indigo Stadium]], it impaired {{p|Suicune}} using its {{m|Curse}} technique, locking it and [[Misty]] inside Suicune's crystal wall. It was later defeated by [[Eusine]]'s {{p|Haunter}}.<br />
<br />
Many Gastly also appear in the {{adv|Diamond & Pearl chapter}} when {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}} spend the night in the [[Old Chateau]].<br />
<br />
===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===<br />
In ''[[PM007|Get Rid of The Ghost Pokémon!!]]'', while {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}}, [[Red's Clefairy|Clefairy]] and [[Red's Pikachu (Pocket Monsters)|Pikachu]] were in {{OBP|Blue|Pocket Monsters}}'s mansion, they stumble across a Gastly that Clefairy ends up battling. However, since Blue didn't officially control it, it is unknown if it belongs to him.<br />
<br />
A Gastly appeared in ''[[PM018|Which One is the Real Clefairy!?]]'' while Red had a confrontation with {{OBP|Giovanni|Pocket Monsters}} and his twin brother. This Gastly was out of its gas form.<br />
<br />
A Gastly took part in a baseball match in ''[[PM021|Fierce Competition at the Pokémon Baseball Tournament!]]''.<br />
<br />
A Gastly was with {{OBP|Green|Pocket Monsters}} in [[PM042]]. However, it is unknown if the Gastly is actually his.<br />
<br />
{{OBP|Giovanni|Pocket Monsters}} was revealed to have a Gastly when he was coming up with three grand schemes in [[PM047]]<br />
<br />
===In the Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys manga===<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Gastly's prototype name was "Spirit".<br />
* No other Pokémon have the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] as Gastly and {{p|Haunter|its}} {{p|Gengar|evolutions}}.<br />
* Gastly and its evolution {{p|Haunter}} are the [[List of Pokémon by weight|lightest Pokémon]] in existence.<br />
* Despite all of them being part {{t|Poison}} type, Gastly together with its [[evolution]]ary family are not able to learn Poison-type moves by leveling up.<br />
* Gastly's evolution line is the only Ghost-type family that requires the [[Silph Scope]] to be seen. Therefore, they must be the only ones that are invisible normally while in the wild; even then, they can only be seen in their native region of [[Kanto]].<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
Gastly seems to be based on general cartoonish {{wp|ghost}}s and spirits, or maybe a {{wp|will o' the wisp}}. It may also have been based on the Japanese {{wp|youkai}} sōgen bi, the decapitated head of a monk whose head is doomed to wander the Earth, consumed by fire. Its {{type|Poison}} is most likely a reference to poisonous or polluted gases.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
Gastly may be a combination of ''{{wp|gas}}'' and ''ghastly'' (dreadfully frightening or horrible).<br />
<br />
Ghos is a shortened form of ''{{wp|ghost}}'' and may also incorporate ''gas'' into its name.<br />

'''Cloyster''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パルシェン''' ''Parshen'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ice}} Pokémon.<br />
<br />
It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Shellder}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Water Stone}}.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
===Physiology===<br />
Cloyster is an enormous bivalve with a large rugged shell that features a number of spikes. Six of the spikes, 3 per side, are especially long and conical. Resembling turrets, they enhance the ability of the shell to protect the pokémon's soft insides from foes. Even so, the shell offers little in the way of protection against special attacks. Cloyster's shell has a nested gray-colored secondary shell inside its larger purple outer shell. Its {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon consisting of only a head|"head"}} and face resemble a very large black pearl, with a pronounced horn-like white spike jutting out above its "head." Its face is similar to {{p|Gastly}}, though the two Pokémon are not related. It is has been noted that the nature of the inner contents of a Cloyster's shell are not actually known due to the difficulty of observing them.<br />
<br />
====Gender differences====<br />
None.<br />
<br />
===Special abilities===<br />
Cloyster possesses incredible {{stat|Defense|defensive capabilities}} unrivaled anywhere else in the Kanto region. Cloyster’s entire fighting style is focused around its uncanny defense: its shell. Cloyster attacks by firing sharp spikes off of its shell via telling moves such as [[Spike Cannon (move)|spike cannon]] while it keeps clamped tightly shut. It is said to be impossible to open from the outside. Aside from its remarkable defense, Cloyster is also capable of unleashing a considerable arsenal of offenses, mostly including {{t|Water}} and {{type|Ice}} attacks, but reaching to {{t|Poison}} and {{type|Dark}} as well. This Pokémon is generally unmoving on land, though capable of moving quickly only underwater using syphon-jet propulsion much like any other bivalve. It is sometimes depicted as having the ability to inexplicably float through the air.<br />
<br />
===Behavior===<br />
In spite of its grim semblance and its menacing guise, Cloyster's behavior is actually quite unremarkable. In battle, the cowardly Cloyster clamps its monstrous, impenetrable shell tightly shut so that it may not be forced ajar. It then attacks recklessly and aimlessly in all directions with the random, ballistic fire of the spikes on its shell. This haphazard, hit-or-miss style of attack does not earn Cloyster high respect in the field of tactical gumption or cleverness. Though its personality may be lacking, the grimace on its face is perpetual.<br />
<br />
===Habitat===<br />
[[File:Sea Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon}}]]<br />
Cloyster live deep under the sea, usually on the seabed or amongst coral and rocks. Their range is basically the same as {{p|Shellder}}'s.<br />

==In the manga==<br />
[[File:Lorelei Cloyster Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Cloyster in Pokémon Adventures]]<br />
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br />
{{main|Lorelei's Cloyster}}<br />
First seen against {{adv|Yellow}} in conjunction with her {{p|Dewgong}}. Later, in the battle on [[Cerise Island]], it kept the voodoo dolls of {{adv|Green}} and [[Sabrina]] (which kept their arms bound by an ice cuff) safely out of reach while Lorelei {{pkmn|battle}}d them. Although it initially seemed that with Green out cold, Sabrina stood little chance, she feigned attacking repeatedly and slowly sapped Cloyster's strength using {{m|Mega Drain}}, eventually fainting it. Lorelei realized this, and quickly took back the dolls.<br />
<br />
Cloyster reappeared again in Lorelei's attempt to defend [[Quest Island|Seven Island]]. It is then remarked that Cloyster is the strongest fighter Lorelei has in her arsenal due to the tough shell it possesses, said to withstand the damage of a Napalm Bomb. However, though they fought valiantly and pushed [[Sird]] to her limits, ultimately the insidious villain won by having her {{p|Starmie}} {{m|camouflage}} itself and attack where they couldn't defend.<br />
<br />
The boss of Team Rocket, {{adv|Giovanni}}, is shown in several rounds using Cloyster. He used it to freeze two {{p|Magmar}} after having a chat with {{adv|Red}}. Then, when Red came to beat him, he used it to freeze [[Poli]].<br />
<br />
In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Cloyster is drawn by [[Mato]] as having a blue marking like a jewel on its head, beneath the spike. The official art by [[Ken Sugimori]], however, does not. This is likely because the white circle seen on Cloyster's head in most early sprites and the Generation I Sugimori art was interpreted by Mato as a jewel, but was actually intended just to be glare. [[Satoshi Yamamoto]], who took over starting at {{PAV|10}}, did not make the same error.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* Cloyster has the highest {{stat|Defense}} of both Water and Ice types.<br />
* Cloyster's {{2v|Red|Blue}}' sprite shows its shell positioned horizontally instead of vertically.<br />
* Although it is stated many times in the pokedex entry for Cloyster that it's innards have never been seen, in the seventh episode of the original series, during the events at the [[Cerulean Gym]] a hollow Cloyster shell is shown hanging from the ceiling. It apparently had been repurposed as a loudspeaker. This leaves wide open the possibility that a Cloyster's innards could have been observed.<br />
[[File:CloysterShellsmaller.png|220px|thumb|right|A shell with no Cloyster in it.]]<br />
===Origin===<br />
It appears to be based on a {{wp|bivalve}}, more specifically the genus {{wp|spondylus}}, with a black {{wp|pearl}} as its head.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
Cloyster is a pun on ''cloister'' (to seclude or shelter oneself) which contains the word, ''{{wp|oyster}}'' or is a portmantaeu of ''clam'' and ''oyster''.<br />
<br />

'''Cloyster''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パルシェン''' ''Parshen'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ice}} Pokémon.<br />
<br />
It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Shellder}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Water Stone}}.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
===Physiology===<br />
Cloyster is an enormous bivalve with a large rugged shell that features a number of spikes. Six of the spikes, 3 per side, are especially long and conical. Resembling turrets, they enhance the ability of the shell to protect the pokémon's soft insides from foes. Even so, the shell offers little in the way of protection against special attacks. Cloyster's shell has a nested gray-colored secondary shell inside its larger purple outer shell. Its {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon consisting of only a head|"head"}} and face resemble a very large black pearl, with a pronounced horn-like white spike jutting out above its "head." Its face is similar to {{p|Gastly}}, though the two Pokémon are not related. It is has been noted that the nature of the inner contents of a Cloyster's shell are not actually known due to the difficulty of observing them.<br />
<br />
====Gender differences====<br />
None.<br />
<br />
===Special abilities===<br />
Cloyster possesses incredible {{stat|Defense|defensive capabilities}} unrivaled anywhere else in the Kanto region. Cloyster’s entire fighting style is focused around its uncanny defense: its shell. Cloyster attacks by firing sharp spikes off of its shell via telling moves such as [[Spike Cannon (move)|spike cannon]] while it keeps clamped tightly shut. It is said to be impossible to open from the outside. Aside from its remarkable defense, Cloyster is also capable of unleashing a considerable arsenal of offenses, mostly including {{t|Water}} and {{type|Ice}} attacks, but reaching to {{t|Poison}} and {{type|Dark}} as well. This Pokémon is generally unmoving on land, though capable of moving quickly only underwater using syphon-jet propulsion much like any other bivalve. It is sometimes depicted as having the ability to inexplicably float through the air.<br />
<br />
===Behavior===<br />
In spite of its grim semblance and its menacing guise, Cloyster's behavior is actually quite unremarkable. In battle, the cowardly Cloyster clamps its monstrous, impenetrable shell tightly shut so that it may not be forced ajar. It then attacks recklessly and aimlessly in all directions with the random, ballistic fire of the spikes on its shell. This haphazard, hit-or-miss style of attack does not earn Cloyster high respect in the field of tactical gumption or cleverness. Though its personality may be lacking, the grimace on its face is perpetual.<br />
<br />

==In the manga==<br />
[[File:Lorelei Cloyster Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Cloyster in Pokémon Adventures]]<br />
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br />
{{main|Lorelei's Cloyster}}<br />
First seen against {{adv|Yellow}} in conjunction with her {{p|Dewgong}}. Later, in the battle on [[Cerise Island]], it kept the voodoo dolls of {{adv|Green}} and [[Sabrina]] (which kept their arms bound by an ice cuff) safely out of reach while Lorelei {{pkmn|battle}}d them. Although it initially seemed that with Green out cold, Sabrina stood little chance, she feigned attacking repeatedly and slowly sapped Cloyster's strength using {{m|Mega Drain}}, eventually fainting it. Lorelei realized this, and quickly took back the dolls.<br />
<br />
Cloyster reappeared again in Lorelei's attempt to defend [[Quest Island|Seven Island]]. It is then remarked that Cloyster is the strongest fighter Lorelei has in her arsenal due to the tough shell it possesses, said to withstand the damage of a Napalm Bomb. However, though they fought valiantly and pushed [[Sird]] to her limits, ultimately the insidious villain won by having her {{p|Starmie}} {{m|camouflage}} itself and attack where they couldn't defend.<br />
<br />
The boss of Team Rocket, {{adv|Giovanni}}, is shown in several rounds using Cloyster. He used it to freeze two {{p|Magmar}} after having a chat with {{adv|Red}}. Then, when Red came to beat him, he used it to freeze [[Poli]].<br />
<br />
In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Cloyster is drawn by [[Mato]] as having a blue marking like a jewel on its head, beneath the spike. The official art by [[Ken Sugimori]], however, does not. This is likely because the white circle seen on Cloyster's head in most early sprites and the Generation I Sugimori art was interpreted by Mato as a jewel, but was actually intended just to be glare. [[Satoshi Yamamoto]], who took over starting at {{PAV|10}}, did not make the same error.<br />
<br />
===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===<br />
{{main|Lorelei's Cloyster}}<br />
[[Lorelei]]'s Cloyster is the first opponent {{Zensho|Satoshi}} faces in the Pokémon League.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* Cloyster has the highest {{stat|Defense}} of both Water and Ice types.<br />
* Cloyster's {{2v|Red|Blue}}' sprite shows its shell positioned horizontally instead of vertically.<br />
* Although it is stated many times in the pokedex entry for Cloyster that it's innards have never been seen, in the seventh episode of the original series, during the events at the [[Cerulean Gym]] a hollow Cloyster shell is shown hanging from the ceiling. It apparently had been repurposed as a loudspeaker. This leaves wide open the possibility that a Cloyster's innards could have been observed.<br />
[[File:CloysterShellsmaller.png]]<br />
===Origin===<br />
It appears to be based on a {{wp|bivalve}}, more specifically the genus {{wp|spondylus}}, with a black {{wp|pearl}} as its head.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
Cloyster is a pun on ''cloister'' (to seclude or shelter oneself) which contains the word, ''{{wp|oyster}}'' or is a portmantaeu of ''clam'' and ''oyster''.<br />
<br />
Parshen may be a combination of パール ''{{wp|pearl}}'' and シェル ''shell''.<br />
<br />
==In other languages==<br />

'''Cloyster''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パルシェン''' ''Parshen'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ice}} Pokémon.<br />
<br />
It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Shellder}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Water Stone}}.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
===Physiology===<br />
Cloyster is an enormous bivalve with a large rugged shell that features a number of spikes. Six of the spikes, 3 per side, are especially long and conical. Resembling turrets, they enhance the ability of the shell to protect the pokémon's soft insides from foes. Even so, the shell offers little in the way of protection against special attacks. Cloyster's shell has a nested gray-colored secondary shell inside its larger purple outer shell. Its {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon consisting of only a head|"head"}} and face resemble a very large black pearl, with a pronounced horn-like white spike jutting out above its "head." Its face is similar to {{p|Gastly}}, though the two Pokémon are not related. It is has been noted that the nature of the inner contents of a Cloyster's shell are not actually known due to the difficulty of observing them.<br />
<br />
====Gender differences====<br />
None.<br />
<br />
===Special abilities===<br />
Cloyster possesses incredible {{stat|Defense|defensive capabilities}} unrivaled anywhere else in the Kanto region. Cloyster’s entire fighting style is focused around its uncanny defense: its shell. Cloyster attacks by firing sharp spikes off of its shell via telling moves such as [[Spike Cannon (move)|spike cannon]] while it keeps clamped tightly shut. It is said to be impossible to open from the outside. Aside from its remarkable defense, Cloyster is also capable of unleashing a considerable arsenal of offenses, mostly including {{t|Water}} and {{type|Ice}} attacks, but reaching to {{t|Poison}} and {{type|Dark}} as well. This Pokémon is generally unmoving on land, though capable of moving quickly only underwater using syphon-jet propulsion much like any other bivalve. It is sometimes depicted as having the ability to inexplicably float through the air.<br />
<br />
===Behavior===<br />
In spite of its grim semblance and its menacing guise, Cloyster's behavior is actually quite unremarkable. In battle, the cowardly Cloyster clamps its monstrous, impenetrable shell tightly shut so that it may not be forced ajar. It then attacks recklessly and aimlessly in all directions with the random, ballistic fire of the spikes on its shell. This haphazard, hit-or-miss style of attack does not earn Cloyster high respect in the field of tactical gumption or cleverness. Though its personality may be lacking, the grimace on its face is perpetual.<br />
<br />
===Habitat===<br />
[[File:Sea Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon}}]]<br />
Cloyster live deep under the sea, usually on the seabed or amongst coral and rocks. Their range is basically the same as {{p|Shellder}}'s.<br />

==In the manga==<br />
[[File:Lorelei Cloyster Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Cloyster in Pokémon Adventures]]<br />
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br />
{{main|Lorelei's Cloyster}}<br />
First seen against {{adv|Yellow}} in conjunction with her {{p|Dewgong}}. Later, in the battle on [[Cerise Island]], it kept the voodoo dolls of {{adv|Green}} and [[Sabrina]] (which kept their arms bound by an ice cuff) safely out of reach while Lorelei {{pkmn|battle}}d them. Although it initially seemed that with Green out cold, Sabrina stood little chance, she feigned attacking repeatedly and slowly sapped Cloyster's strength using {{m|Mega Drain}}, eventually fainting it. Lorelei realized this, and quickly took back the dolls.<br />
<br />
Cloyster reappeared again in Lorelei's attempt to defend [[Quest Island|Seven Island]]. It is then remarked that Cloyster is the strongest fighter Lorelei has in her arsenal due to the tough shell it possesses, said to withstand the damage of a Napalm Bomb. However, though they fought valiantly and pushed [[Sird]] to her limits, ultimately the insidious villain won by having her {{p|Starmie}} {{m|camouflage}} itself and attack where they couldn't defend.<br />
<br />
The boss of Team Rocket, {{adv|Giovanni}}, is shown in several rounds using Cloyster. He used it to freeze two {{p|Magmar}} after having a chat with {{adv|Red}}. Then, when Red came to beat him, he used it to freeze [[Poli]].<br />
<br />
In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Cloyster is drawn by [[Mato]] as having a blue marking like a jewel on its head, beneath the spike. The official art by [[Ken Sugimori]], however, does not. This is likely because the white circle seen on Cloyster's head in most early sprites and the Generation I Sugimori art was interpreted by Mato as a jewel, but was actually intended just to be glare. [[Satoshi Yamamoto]], who took over starting at {{PAV|10}}, did not make the same error.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* Cloyster has the highest {{stat|Defense}} of both Water and Ice types.<br />
* Cloyster's {{2v|Red|Blue}}' sprite shows its shell positioned horizontally instead of vertically.<br />
* Although it is stated many times in the pokedex entry for Cloyster that it's innards have never been seen, in the seventh episode of the original series, during the events at the [[Cerulean Gym]] a hollow Cloyster shell is shown hanging from the ceiling. It apparently had been repurposed as a loudspeaker. This leaves wide open the possibility that a Cloyster's innards could have been observed.<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
It appears to be based on a {{wp|bivalve}}, more specifically the genus {{wp|spondylus}}, with a black {{wp|pearl}} as its head.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
Cloyster is a pun on ''cloister'' (to seclude or shelter oneself) which contains the word, ''{{wp|oyster}}'' or is a portmantaeu of ''clam'' and ''oyster''.<br />
<br />
Parshen may be a combination of パール ''{{wp|pearl}}'' and シェル ''shell''.<br />

'''Cloyster''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パルシェン''' ''Parshen'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ice}} Pokémon.<br />
<br />
It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Shellder}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Water Stone}}.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
===Physiology===<br />
Cloyster is an enormous bivalve with a large rugged shell that features a number of spikes. Six of the spikes, 3 per side, are especially long and conical. Resembling turrets, they enhance the ability of the shell to protect the pokémon's soft insides from foes. Even so, the shell offers little in the way of protection against special attacks. Cloyster's shell has a nested gray-colored secondary shell inside its larger purple outer shell. Its {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon consisting of only a head|"head"}} and face resemble a very large black pearl, with a pronounced horn-like white spike jutting out above its "head." Its face is similar to {{p|Gastly}}, though the two Pokémon are not related. It is has been noted that the nature of the inner contents of a Cloyster's shell are not actually known due to the difficulty of observing them.<br />
<br />
====Gender differences====<br />
None.<br />
<br />
===Special abilities===<br />
Cloyster possesses incredible {{stat|Defense|defensive capabilities}} unrivaled anywhere else in the Kanto region. Cloyster’s entire fighting style is focused around its uncanny defense: its shell. Cloyster attacks by firing sharp spikes off of its shell via telling moves such as [[Spike Cannon (move)|spike cannon]] while it keeps clamped tightly shut. It is said to be impossible to open from the outside. Aside from its remarkable defense, Cloyster is also capable of unleashing a considerable arsenal of offenses, mostly including {{t|Water}} and {{type|Ice}} attacks, but reaching to {{t|Poison}} and {{type|Dark}} as well. This Pokémon is generally unmoving on land, though capable of moving quickly only underwater using syphon-jet propulsion much like any other bivalve. It is sometimes depicted as having the ability to inexplicably float through the air.<br />
<br />
===Behavior===<br />
In spite of its grim semblance and its menacing guise, Cloyster's behavior is actually quite unremarkable. In battle, the cowardly Cloyster clamps its monstrous, impenetrable shell tightly shut so that it may not be forced ajar. It then attacks recklessly and aimlessly in all directions with the random, ballistic fire of the spikes on its shell. This haphazard, hit-or-miss style of attack does not earn Cloyster high respect in the field of tactical gumption or cleverness. Though its personality may be lacking, the grimace on its face is perpetual.<br />
<br />
===Habitat===<br />
[[File:Sea Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon}}]]<br />
Cloyster live deep under the sea, usually on the seabed or amongst coral and rocks. Their range is basically the same as {{p|Shellder}}'s.<br />

==In the manga==<br />
[[File:Lorelei Cloyster Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Cloyster in Pokémon Adventures]]<br />
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br />
{{main|Lorelei's Cloyster}}<br />
First seen against {{adv|Yellow}} in conjunction with her {{p|Dewgong}}. Later, in the battle on [[Cerise Island]], it kept the voodoo dolls of {{adv|Green}} and [[Sabrina]] (which kept their arms bound by an ice cuff) safely out of reach while Lorelei {{pkmn|battle}}d them. Although it initially seemed that with Green out cold, Sabrina stood little chance, she feigned attacking repeatedly and slowly sapped Cloyster's strength using {{m|Mega Drain}}, eventually fainting it. Lorelei realized this, and quickly took back the dolls.<br />
<br />
Cloyster reappeared again in Lorelei's attempt to defend [[Quest Island|Seven Island]]. It is then remarked that Cloyster is the strongest fighter Lorelei has in her arsenal due to the tough shell it possesses, said to withstand the damage of a Napalm Bomb. However, though they fought valiantly and pushed [[Sird]] to her limits, ultimately the insidious villain won by having her {{p|Starmie}} {{m|camouflage}} itself and attack where they couldn't defend.<br />
<br />
The boss of Team Rocket, {{adv|Giovanni}}, is shown in several rounds using Cloyster. He used it to freeze two {{p|Magmar}} after having a chat with {{adv|Red}}. Then, when Red came to beat him, he used it to freeze [[Poli]].<br />
<br />
In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Cloyster is drawn by [[Mato]] as having a blue marking like a jewel on its head, beneath the spike. The official art by [[Ken Sugimori]], however, does not. This is likely because the white circle seen on Cloyster's head in most early sprites and the Generation I Sugimori art was interpreted by Mato as a jewel, but was actually intended just to be glare. [[Satoshi Yamamoto]], who took over starting at {{PAV|10}}, did not make the same error.<br />
<br />
===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===<br />
{{main|Lorelei's Cloyster}}<br />
[[Lorelei]]'s Cloyster is the first opponent {{Zensho|Satoshi}} faces in the Pokémon League.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* Cloyster has the highest {{stat|Defense}} of both Water and Ice types.<br />
* Cloyster's {{2v|Red|Blue}}' sprite shows its shell positioned horizontally instead of vertically.<br />
* Although it is stated many times in the pokedex entry for Cloyster that it's innards have never been seen, in the seventh episode of the original series, during the events at the [[Cerulean Gym]] a hollow Cloyster shell is shown hanging from the ceiling. It apparently had been repurposed as a loudspeaker. This leaves wide open the possibility that a Cloyster's innards could have been observed.<br />
[[File:CloysterShell.png]]<br />
===Origin===<br />
It appears to be based on a {{wp|bivalve}}, more specifically the genus {{wp|spondylus}}, with a black {{wp|pearl}} as its head.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
Cloyster is a pun on ''cloister'' (to seclude or shelter oneself) which contains the word, ''{{wp|oyster}}'' or is a portmantaeu of ''clam'' and ''oyster''.<br />
<br />
Parshen may be a combination of パール ''{{wp|pearl}}'' and シェル ''shell''.<br />

'''Cloyster''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パルシェン''' ''Parshen'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ice}} Pokémon.<br />
<br />
It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Shellder}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Water Stone}}.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
===Physiology===<br />
Cloyster is an enormous bivalve with a large rugged shell that features a number of spikes. Six of the spikes, 3 per side, are especially long and conical. Resembling turrets, they enhance the ability of the shell to protect the pokémon's soft insides from foes. Even so, the shell offers little in the way of protection against special attacks. Cloyster's shell has a nested gray-colored secondary shell inside its larger purple outer shell. Its {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon consisting of only a head|"head"}} and face resemble a very large black pearl, with a pronounced horn-like white spike jutting out above its "head." Its face is similar to {{p|Gastly}}, though the two Pokémon are not related. It is has been noted that the nature of the inner contents of a Cloyster's shell are not actually known due to the difficulty of observing them.<br />
<br />
====Gender differences====<br />
None.<br />
<br />
===Special abilities===<br />
Cloyster possesses incredible {{stat|Defense|defensive capabilities}} unrivaled anywhere else in the Kanto region. Cloyster’s entire fighting style is focused around its uncanny defense: its shell. Cloyster attacks by firing sharp spikes off of its shell via telling moves such as [[Spike Cannon (move)|spike cannon]] while it keeps clamped tightly shut. It is said to be impossible to open from the outside. Aside from its remarkable defense, Cloyster is also capable of unleashing a considerable arsenal of offenses, mostly including {{t|Water}} and {{type|Ice}} attacks, but reaching to {{t|Poison}} and {{type|Dark}} as well. This Pokémon is generally unmoving on land, though capable of moving quickly only underwater using syphon-jet propulsion much like any other bivalve. It is sometimes depicted as having the ability to inexplicably float through the air.<br />
<br />
===Behavior===<br />
In spite of its grim semblance and its menacing guise, Cloyster's behavior is actually quite unremarkable. In battle, the cowardly Cloyster clamps its monstrous, impenetrable shell tightly shut so that it may not be forced ajar. It then attacks recklessly and aimlessly in all directions with the random, ballistic fire of the spikes on its shell. This haphazard, hit-or-miss style of attack does not earn Cloyster high respect in the field of tactical gumption or cleverness. Though its personality may be lacking, the grimace on its face is perpetual.<br />
<br />
===Habitat===<br />
[[File:Sea Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon}}]]<br />
Cloyster live deep under the sea, usually on the seabed or amongst coral and rocks. Their range is basically the same as {{p|Shellder}}'s.<br />

==In the manga==<br />
[[File:Lorelei Cloyster Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Cloyster in Pokémon Adventures]]<br />
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br />
{{main|Lorelei's Cloyster}}<br />
First seen against {{adv|Yellow}} in conjunction with her {{p|Dewgong}}. Later, in the battle on [[Cerise Island]], it kept the voodoo dolls of {{adv|Green}} and [[Sabrina]] (which kept their arms bound by an ice cuff) safely out of reach while Lorelei {{pkmn|battle}}d them. Although it initially seemed that with Green out cold, Sabrina stood little chance, she feigned attacking repeatedly and slowly sapped Cloyster's strength using {{m|Mega Drain}}, eventually fainting it. Lorelei realized this, and quickly took back the dolls.<br />
<br />
Cloyster reappeared again in Lorelei's attempt to defend [[Quest Island|Seven Island]]. It is then remarked that Cloyster is the strongest fighter Lorelei has in her arsenal due to the tough shell it possesses, said to withstand the damage of a Napalm Bomb. However, though they fought valiantly and pushed [[Sird]] to her limits, ultimately the insidious villain won by having her {{p|Starmie}} {{m|camouflage}} itself and attack where they couldn't defend.<br />
<br />
The boss of Team Rocket, {{adv|Giovanni}}, is shown in several rounds using Cloyster. He used it to freeze two {{p|Magmar}} after having a chat with {{adv|Red}}. Then, when Red came to beat him, he used it to freeze [[Poli]].<br />
<br />
In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Cloyster is drawn by [[Mato]] as having a blue marking like a jewel on its head, beneath the spike. The official art by [[Ken Sugimori]], however, does not. This is likely because the white circle seen on Cloyster's head in most early sprites and the Generation I Sugimori art was interpreted by Mato as a jewel, but was actually intended just to be glare. [[Satoshi Yamamoto]], who took over starting at {{PAV|10}}, did not make the same error.<br />
<br />
===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===<br />
{{main|Lorelei's Cloyster}}<br />
[[Lorelei]]'s Cloyster is the first opponent {{Zensho|Satoshi}} faces in the Pokémon League.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* Cloyster has the highest {{stat|Defense}} of both Water and Ice types.<br />
* Cloyster's {{2v|Red|Blue}}' sprite shows its shell positioned horizontally instead of vertically.<br />
* Although it is stated many times in the pokedex entry for Cloyster that it's innards have never been seen, in the seventh episode of the original series, during the events at the [[Cerulean Gym]] a hollow Cloyster shell is shown hanging from the ceiling. It apparently had been repurposed as a loudspeaker. This leaves wide open the possibility that a Cloyster's innards could have been observed.<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
It appears to be based on a {{wp|bivalve}}, more specifically the genus {{wp|spondylus}}, with a black {{wp|pearl}} as its head.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
Cloyster is a pun on ''cloister'' (to seclude or shelter oneself) which contains the word, ''{{wp|oyster}}'' or is a portmantaeu of ''clam'' and ''oyster''.<br />
<br />
Parshen may be a combination of パール ''{{wp|pearl}}'' and シェル ''shell''.<br />

'''Cloyster''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パルシェン''' ''Parshen'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ice}} Pokémon.<br />
<br />
It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Shellder}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Water Stone}}.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
===Physiology===<br />
Cloyster is an enormous bivalve with a large rugged shell that features a number of spikes. Six of the spikes, 3 per side, are especially long and conical. Resembling turrets, they enhance the ability of the shell to protect the pokémon's soft insides from foes. Even so, the shell offers little in the way of protection against special attacks. Cloyster's shell has a nested gray-colored secondary shell inside its larger purple outer shell. Its {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon consisting of only a head|"head"}} and face resemble a very large black pearl, with a pronounced horn-like white spike jutting out above its "head." Its face is similar to {{p|Gastly}}, though the two Pokémon are not related. It is has been noted that the nature of the inner contents of a Cloyster's shell are not actually known due to the difficulty of observing them.<br />
<br />
====Gender differences====<br />
None.<br />
<br />
===Special abilities===<br />
Cloyster possesses incredible {{stat|Defense|defensive capabilities}} unrivaled anywhere else in the Kanto region. Cloyster’s entire fighting style is focused around its uncanny defense: its shell. Cloyster attacks by firing sharp spikes off of its shell via telling moves such as [[Spike Cannon (move)|spike cannon]] while it keeps clamped tightly shut. It is said to be impossible to open from the outside. Aside from its remarkable defense, Cloyster is also capable of unleashing a considerable arsenal of offenses, mostly including {{t|Water}} and {{type|Ice}} attacks, but reaching to {{t|Poison}} and {{type|Dark}} as well. This Pokémon is generally unmoving on land, though capable of moving quickly only underwater using syphon-jet propulsion much like any other bivalve. It is sometimes depicted as having the ability to inexplicably float through the air.<br />
<br />
===Behavior===<br />
In spite of its grim semblance and its menacing guise, Cloyster's behavior is actually quite unremarkable. In battle, the cowardly Cloyster clamps its monstrous, impenetrable shell tightly shut so that it may not be forced ajar. It then attacks recklessly and aimlessly in all directions with the random, ballistic fire of the spikes on its shell. This haphazard, hit-or-miss style of attack does not earn Cloyster high respect in the field of tactical gumption or cleverness. Though its personality may be lacking, the grimace on its face is perpetual.<br />
<br />
===Habitat===<br />
[[File:Sea Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon}}]]<br />
Cloyster live deep under the sea, usually on the seabed or amongst coral and rocks. Their range is basically the same as {{p|Shellder}}'s.<br />

==In the manga==<br />
[[File:Lorelei Cloyster Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Cloyster in Pokémon Adventures]]<br />
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br />
{{main|Lorelei's Cloyster}}<br />
First seen against {{adv|Yellow}} in conjunction with her {{p|Dewgong}}. Later, in the battle on [[Cerise Island]], it kept the voodoo dolls of {{adv|Green}} and [[Sabrina]] (which kept their arms bound by an ice cuff) safely out of reach while Lorelei {{pkmn|battle}}d them. Although it initially seemed that with Green out cold, Sabrina stood little chance, she feigned attacking repeatedly and slowly sapped Cloyster's strength using {{m|Mega Drain}}, eventually fainting it. Lorelei realized this, and quickly took back the dolls.<br />
<br />
Cloyster reappeared again in Lorelei's attempt to defend [[Quest Island|Seven Island]]. It is then remarked that Cloyster is the strongest fighter Lorelei has in her arsenal due to the tough shell it possesses, said to withstand the damage of a Napalm Bomb. However, though they fought valiantly and pushed [[Sird]] to her limits, ultimately the insidious villain won by having her {{p|Starmie}} {{m|camouflage}} itself and attack where they couldn't defend.<br />
<br />
The boss of Team Rocket, {{adv|Giovanni}}, is shown in several rounds using Cloyster. He used it to freeze two {{p|Magmar}} after having a chat with {{adv|Red}}. Then, when Red came to beat him, he used it to freeze [[Poli]].<br />
<br />
In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Cloyster is drawn by [[Mato]] as having a blue marking like a jewel on its head, beneath the spike. The official art by [[Ken Sugimori]], however, does not. This is likely because the white circle seen on Cloyster's head in most early sprites and the Generation I Sugimori art was interpreted by Mato as a jewel, but was actually intended just to be glare. [[Satoshi Yamamoto]], who took over starting at {{PAV|10}}, did not make the same error.<br />
<br />
===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===<br />
{{main|Lorelei's Cloyster}}<br />
[[Lorelei]]'s Cloyster is the first opponent {{Zensho|Satoshi}} faces in the Pokémon League.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* Cloyster has the highest {{stat|Defense}} of both Water and Ice types.<br />
* Cloyster's {{2v|Red|Blue}}' sprite shows its shell positioned horizontally instead of vertically.<br />
* Although it is stated many times in the pokedex entry for Cloyster that it's innards have never been seen, in the seventh episode of the original series, during the events at the [[cerulean gym]] a hollow Cloyster shell is shown hanging from the ceiling. It apparently had been repurposed as a loudspeaker. This leaves wide open the possibility that a Cloyster's innards could have been observed.<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
It appears to be based on a {{wp|bivalve}}, more specifically the genus {{wp|spondylus}}, with a black {{wp|pearl}} as its head.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
Cloyster is a pun on ''cloister'' (to seclude or shelter oneself) which contains the word, ''{{wp|oyster}}'' or is a portmantaeu of ''clam'' and ''oyster''.<br />
<br />
Parshen may be a combination of パール ''{{wp|pearl}}'' and シェル ''shell''.<br />

'''Cloyster''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パルシェン''' ''Parshen'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ice}} Pokémon.<br />
<br />
It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Shellder}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Water Stone}}.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
===Physiology===<br />
Cloyster is an enormous bivalve with a large rugged shell that features a number of spikes. Six of the spikes, 3 per side, are especially long and conical. Resembling turrets, they enhance the ability of the shell to protect the pokémon's soft insides from foes. Even so, the shell offers little in the way of protection against special attacks. Cloyster's shell has a nested gray-colored secondary shell inside its larger purple outer shell. Its {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon consisting of only a head|"head"}} and face resemble a very large black pearl, with a pronounced horn-like white spike jutting out above its "head." Its face is similar to {{p|Gastly}}, though the two Pokémon are not related. It is has been noted that the nature of the inner contents of a Cloyster's shell are not actually known due to the difficulty of observing them.<br />
<br />
====Gender differences====<br />
None.<br />
<br />
===Special abilities===<br />
Cloyster possesses incredible {{stat|Defense|defensive capabilities}} unrivaled anywhere else in the Kanto region. Cloyster’s entire fighting style is focused around its uncanny defense: its shell. Cloyster attacks by firing sharp spikes off of its shell via telling moves such as [[Spike Cannon (move)|spike cannon]] while it keeps clamped tightly shut. It is said to be impossible to open from the outside. Aside from its remarkable defense, Cloyster is also capable of unleashing a considerable arsenal of offenses, mostly including {{t|Water}} and {{type|Ice}} attacks, but reaching to {{t|Poison}} and {{type|Dark}} as well. This Pokémon is generally unmoving on land, though capable of moving quickly only underwater using syphon-jet propulsion much like any other bivalve. It is sometimes depicted as having the ability to inexplicably float through the air.<br />
<br />
===Behavior===<br />
In spite of its grim semblance and its menacing guise, Cloyster's behavior is actually quite unremarkable. In battle, the cowardly Cloyster clamps its monstrous, impenetrable shell tightly shut so that it may not be forced ajar. It then attacks recklessly and aimlessly in all directions with the random, ballistic fire of the spikes on its shell. This haphazard, hit-or-miss style of attack does not earn Cloyster high respect in the field of tactical gumption or cleverness. Though its personality may be lacking, the grimace on its face is perpetual.<br />
<br />
===Habitat===<br />
[[File:Sea Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon}}]]<br />
Cloyster live deep under the sea, usually on the seabed or amongst coral and rocks. Their range is basically the same as {{p|Shellder}}'s.<br />

==In the manga==<br />
[[File:Lorelei Cloyster Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Cloyster in Pokémon Adventures]]<br />
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br />
{{main|Lorelei's Cloyster}}<br />
First seen against {{adv|Yellow}} in conjunction with her {{p|Dewgong}}. Later, in the battle on [[Cerise Island]], it kept the voodoo dolls of {{adv|Green}} and [[Sabrina]] (which kept their arms bound by an ice cuff) safely out of reach while Lorelei {{pkmn|battle}}d them. Although it initially seemed that with Green out cold, Sabrina stood little chance, she feigned attacking repeatedly and slowly sapped Cloyster's strength using {{m|Mega Drain}}, eventually fainting it. Lorelei realized this, and quickly took back the dolls.<br />
<br />
Cloyster reappeared again in Lorelei's attempt to defend [[Quest Island|Seven Island]]. It is then remarked that Cloyster is the strongest fighter Lorelei has in her arsenal due to the tough shell it possesses, said to withstand the damage of a Napalm Bomb. However, though they fought valiantly and pushed [[Sird]] to her limits, ultimately the insidious villain won by having her {{p|Starmie}} {{m|camouflage}} itself and attack where they couldn't defend.<br />
<br />
The boss of Team Rocket, {{adv|Giovanni}}, is shown in several rounds using Cloyster. He used it to freeze two {{p|Magmar}} after having a chat with {{adv|Red}}. Then, when Red came to beat him, he used it to freeze [[Poli]].<br />
<br />
In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Cloyster is drawn by [[Mato]] as having a blue marking like a jewel on its head, beneath the spike. The official art by [[Ken Sugimori]], however, does not. This is likely because the white circle seen on Cloyster's head in most early sprites and the Generation I Sugimori art was interpreted by Mato as a jewel, but was actually intended just to be glare. [[Satoshi Yamamoto]], who took over starting at {{PAV|10}}, did not make the same error.<br />
<br />
===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===<br />
{{main|Lorelei's Cloyster}}<br />
[[Lorelei]]'s Cloyster is the first opponent {{Zensho|Satoshi}} faces in the Pokémon League.<br />

'''Cloyster''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パルシェン''' ''Parshen'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ice}} Pokémon.<br />
<br />
It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Shellder}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Water Stone}}.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
===Physiology===<br />
Cloyster is an enormous bivalve with a large rugged shell that features a number of spikes. Six of the spikes, 3 per side, are especially long and conical. Resembling turrets, they enhance the ability of the shell to protect the pokémon's soft insides from foes. Even so, the shell offers little in the way of protection against special attacks. Cloyster's shell has a nested gray-colored secondary shell inside its larger purple outer shell. Its {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon consisting of only a head|"head"}} and face resemble a very large black pearl, with a pronounced horn-like white spike jutting out above its "head." Its face is similar to {{p|Gastly}}, though the two Pokémon are not related. It is has been noted that the inner contents of a Cloysters shell are unknown.<br />
<br />
====Gender differences====<br />
None.<br />
<br />
===Special abilities===<br />
Cloyster possesses incredible {{stat|Defense|defensive capabilities}} unrivaled anywhere else in the Kanto region. Cloyster’s entire fighting style is focused around its uncanny defense: its shell. Cloyster attacks by firing sharp spikes off of its shell via telling moves such as [[Spike Cannon (move)|spike cannon]] while it keeps clamped tightly shut. It is said to be impossible to open from the outside. Aside from its remarkable defense, Cloyster is also capable of unleashing a considerable arsenal of offenses, mostly including {{t|Water}} and {{type|Ice}} attacks, but reaching to {{t|Poison}} and {{type|Dark}} as well. This Pokémon is generally unmoving on land, though capable of moving quickly only underwater using syphon-jet propulsion much like any other bivalve. It is sometimes depicted as having the ability to inexplicably float through the air.<br />
<br />
===Behavior===<br />
In spite of its grim semblance and its menacing guise, Cloyster's behavior is actually quite unremarkable. In battle, the cowardly Cloyster clamps its monstrous, impenetrable shell tightly shut so that it may not be forced ajar. It then attacks recklessly and aimlessly in all directions with the random, ballistic fire of the spikes on its shell. This haphazard, hit-or-miss style of attack does not earn Cloyster high respect in the field of tactical gumption or cleverness. Though its personality may be lacking, the grimace on its face is perpetual.<br />
<br />
===Habitat===<br />
[[File:Sea Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon}}]]<br />
Cloyster live deep under the sea, usually on the seabed or amongst coral and rocks. Their range is basically the same as {{p|Shellder}}'s.<br />

==In the manga==<br />
[[File:Lorelei Cloyster Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Cloyster in Pokémon Adventures]]<br />
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br />
{{main|Lorelei's Cloyster}}<br />
First seen against {{adv|Yellow}} in conjunction with her {{p|Dewgong}}. Later, in the battle on [[Cerise Island]], it kept the voodoo dolls of {{adv|Green}} and [[Sabrina]] (which kept their arms bound by an ice cuff) safely out of reach while Lorelei {{pkmn|battle}}d them. Although it initially seemed that with Green out cold, Sabrina stood little chance, she feigned attacking repeatedly and slowly sapped Cloyster's strength using {{m|Mega Drain}}, eventually fainting it. Lorelei realized this, and quickly took back the dolls.<br />
<br />
Cloyster reappeared again in Lorelei's attempt to defend [[Quest Island|Seven Island]]. It is then remarked that Cloyster is the strongest fighter Lorelei has in her arsenal due to the tough shell it possesses, said to withstand the damage of a Napalm Bomb. However, though they fought valiantly and pushed [[Sird]] to her limits, ultimately the insidious villain won by having her {{p|Starmie}} {{m|camouflage}} itself and attack where they couldn't defend.<br />
<br />
The boss of Team Rocket, {{adv|Giovanni}}, is shown in several rounds using Cloyster. He used it to freeze two {{p|Magmar}} after having a chat with {{adv|Red}}. Then, when Red came to beat him, he used it to freeze [[Poli]].<br />
<br />
In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Cloyster is drawn by [[Mato]] as having a blue marking like a jewel on its head, beneath the spike. The official art by [[Ken Sugimori]], however, does not. This is likely because the white circle seen on Cloyster's head in most early sprites and the Generation I Sugimori art was interpreted by Mato as a jewel, but was actually intended just to be glare. [[Satoshi Yamamoto]], who took over starting at {{PAV|10}}, did not make the same error.<br />

===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===<br />
{{main|Lorelei's Cloyster}}<br />
[[Lorelei]]'s Cloyster is the first opponent {{Zensho|Satoshi}} faces in the Pokémon League.<br />

'''Cloyster''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パルシェン''' ''Parshen'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ice}} Pokémon.<br />
<br />
It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Shellder}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Water Stone}}.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
===Physiology===<br />
Cloyster is an enormous bivalve with a large rugged shell that features a number of spikes. Six of the spikes, 3 per side, are especially long and conical. Resembling turrets, they enhance the ability of the shell to protect the pokémon's soft insides from foes. Even so, the shell offers little in the way of protection against special attacks. Cloyster's shell has a nested gray-colored secondary shell inside its larger purple outer shell. Its {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon consisting of only a head|"head"}} and face resemble a very large black pearl, with a pronounced horn-like white spike jutting out above its "head." Its face is similar to {{p|Gastly}}, though the two Pokémon are not related.<br />
<br />
====Gender differences====<br />
None.<br />
<br />
===Special abilities===<br />
Cloyster possesses incredible {{stat|Defense|defensive capabilities}} unrivaled anywhere else in the Kanto region. Cloyster’s entire fighting style is focused around its uncanny defense: its shell. Cloyster attacks by firing sharp spikes off of its shell via telling moves such as [[Spike Cannon (move)|spike cannon]] while it keeps clamped tightly shut. It is said to be impossible to open from the outside. Aside from its remarkable defense, Cloyster is also capable of unleashing a considerable arsenal of offenses, mostly including {{t|Water}} and {{type|Ice}} attacks, but reaching to {{t|Poison}} and {{type|Dark}} as well. This Pokémon is generally unmoving on land, though capable of moving quickly only underwater using syphon-jet propulsion much like any other bivalve. It is sometimes depicted as having the ability to inexplicably float through the air.<br />
<br />
===Behavior===<br />
In spite of its grim semblance and its menacing guise, Cloyster's behavior is actually quite unremarkable. In battle, the cowardly Cloyster clamps its monstrous, impenetrable shell tightly shut so that it may not be forced ajar. It then attacks recklessly and aimlessly in all directions with the random, ballistic fire of the spikes on its shell. This haphazard, hit-or-miss style of attack does not earn Cloyster high respect in the field of tactical gumption or cleverness. Though its personality may be lacking, the grimace on its face is perpetual.<br />
<br />
===Habitat===<br />
[[File:Sea Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon}}]]<br />
Cloyster live deep under the sea, usually on the seabed or amongst coral and rocks. Their range is basically the same as {{p|Shellder}}'s.<br />

==In the manga==<br />
[[File:Lorelei Cloyster Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Cloyster in Pokémon Adventures]]<br />
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br />
{{main|Lorelei's Cloyster}}<br />
First seen against {{adv|Yellow}} in conjunction with her {{p|Dewgong}}. Later, in the battle on [[Cerise Island]], it kept the voodoo dolls of {{adv|Green}} and [[Sabrina]] (which kept their arms bound by an ice cuff) safely out of reach while Lorelei {{pkmn|battle}}d them. Although it initially seemed that with Green out cold, Sabrina stood little chance, she feigned attacking repeatedly and slowly sapped Cloyster's strength using {{m|Mega Drain}}, eventually fainting it. Lorelei realized this, and quickly took back the dolls.<br />
<br />
Cloyster reappeared again in Lorelei's attempt to defend [[Quest Island|Seven Island]]. It is then remarked that Cloyster is the strongest fighter Lorelei has in her arsenal due to the tough shell it possesses, said to withstand the damage of a Napalm Bomb. However, though they fought valiantly and pushed [[Sird]] to her limits, ultimately the insidious villain won by having her {{p|Starmie}} {{m|camouflage}} itself and attack where they couldn't defend.<br />
<br />
The boss of Team Rocket, {{adv|Giovanni}}, is shown in several rounds using Cloyster. He used it to freeze two {{p|Magmar}} after having a chat with {{adv|Red}}. Then, when Red came to beat him, he used it to freeze [[Poli]].<br />
<br />
In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Cloyster is drawn by [[Mato]] as having a blue marking like a jewel on its head, beneath the spike. The official art by [[Ken Sugimori]], however, does not. This is likely because the white circle seen on Cloyster's head in most early sprites and the Generation I Sugimori art was interpreted by Mato as a jewel, but was actually intended just to be glare. [[Satoshi Yamamoto]], who took over starting at {{PAV|10}}, did not make the same error.<br />
<br />
===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===<br />
{{main|Lorelei's Cloyster}}<br />
[[Lorelei]]'s Cloyster is the first opponent {{Zensho|Satoshi}} faces in the Pokémon League.<br />

'''Cloyster''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パルシェン''' ''Parshen'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ice}} Pokémon.<br />
<br />
It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Shellder}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Water Stone}}.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
===Physiology===<br />
Cloyster is an enormous bivalve with a large rugged shell that features a number of spikes. Six of the spikes, 3 per side, are especially long and conical. Resembling turrets, they enhance the ability of the shell to protect the pokémon's soft insides from foes. Even so, the shell offers little in the way of protection against special attacks. Cloyster's shell has a nested gray-colored secondary shell inside its larger purple outer shell. Its {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon consisting of only a head|"head"}} and face resemble a very large black pearl, with a pronounced horn-like white spike jutting out above its "head." Its face is similar to {{p|Gastly}}, though the two Pokémon are not related.<br />
<br />
====Gender differences====<br />
None.<br />
<br />
===Special abilities===<br />
Cloyster possesses incredible {{stat|Defense|defensive capabilities}} unrivaled anywhere else in the Kanto region. Cloyster’s entire fighting style is focused around its uncanny defense: its shell. Cloyster attacks by firing sharp spikes off of its shell via telling moves such as [[spike cannon]] while it keeps clamped tightly shut. It is said to be impossible to open from the outside. Aside from its remarkable defense, Cloyster is also capable of unleashing a considerable arsenal of offenses, mostly including {{t|Water}} and {{type|Ice}} attacks, but reaching to {{t|Poison}} and {{type|Dark}} as well. This Pokémon is generally unmoving on land, though capable of moving quickly only underwater using syphon-jet propulsion much like any other bivalve. It is sometimes depicted as having the ability to inexplicably float through the air.<br />
<br />
===Behavior===<br />
In spite of its grim semblance and its menacing guise, Cloyster's behavior is actually quite unremarkable. In battle, the cowardly Cloyster clamps its monstrous, impenetrable shell tightly shut so that it may not be forced ajar. It then attacks recklessly and aimlessly in all directions with the random, ballistic fire of the spikes on its shell. This haphazard, hit-or-miss style of attack does not earn Cloyster high respect in the field of tactical gumption or cleverness. Though its personality may be lacking, the grimace on its face is perpetual.<br />
<br />
===Habitat===<br />
[[File:Sea Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon}}]]<br />
Cloyster live deep under the sea, usually on the seabed or amongst coral and rocks. Their range is basically the same as {{p|Shellder}}'s.<br />

==In the manga==<br />
[[File:Lorelei Cloyster Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Cloyster in Pokémon Adventures]]<br />
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br />
{{main|Lorelei's Cloyster}}<br />
First seen against {{adv|Yellow}} in conjunction with her {{p|Dewgong}}. Later, in the battle on [[Cerise Island]], it kept the voodoo dolls of {{adv|Green}} and [[Sabrina]] (which kept their arms bound by an ice cuff) safely out of reach while Lorelei {{pkmn|battle}}d them. Although it initially seemed that with Green out cold, Sabrina stood little chance, she feigned attacking repeatedly and slowly sapped Cloyster's strength using {{m|Mega Drain}}, eventually fainting it. Lorelei realized this, and quickly took back the dolls.<br />
<br />
Cloyster reappeared again in Lorelei's attempt to defend [[Quest Island|Seven Island]]. It is then remarked that Cloyster is the strongest fighter Lorelei has in her arsenal due to the tough shell it possesses, said to withstand the damage of a Napalm Bomb. However, though they fought valiantly and pushed [[Sird]] to her limits, ultimately the insidious villain won by having her {{p|Starmie}} {{m|camouflage}} itself and attack where they couldn't defend.<br />
<br />
The boss of Team Rocket, {{adv|Giovanni}}, is shown in several rounds using Cloyster. He used it to freeze two {{p|Magmar}} after having a chat with {{adv|Red}}. Then, when Red came to beat him, he used it to freeze [[Poli]].<br />
<br />
In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Cloyster is drawn by [[Mato]] as having a blue marking like a jewel on its head, beneath the spike. The official art by [[Ken Sugimori]], however, does not. This is likely because the white circle seen on Cloyster's head in most early sprites and the Generation I Sugimori art was interpreted by Mato as a jewel, but was actually intended just to be glare. [[Satoshi Yamamoto]], who took over starting at {{PAV|10}}, did not make the same error.<br />

[[Lorelei]]'s Cloyster is the first opponent {{Zensho|Satoshi}} faces in the Pokémon League.<br />

===Origin===<br />
It appears to be based on a {{wp|bivalve}}, more specifically the genus {{wp|spondylus}}, with a black {{wp|pearl}} as its head.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
Cloyster is a pun on ''cloister'' (to seclude or shelter oneself) which contains the word, ''{{wp|oyster}}'' or is a portmantaeu of ''clam'' and ''oyster''.<br />

'''Ash Ketchum''' (Japanese: '''サトシ''' ''Satoshi'') is the main character of both the [[Pokémon anime]] and ''[[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]'' manga, and is widely believed to be based on the {{ga|Red|protagonist}} of the [[Generation I| first generation]] Pokémon games, however this title is disputed with [[Red (game)|Trainer Red]] also laying plausible claim to said character role. <br />
<br />
He shares his Japanese name—which can be taken to mean "wisdom" or "reason" (智)—with the creator of the [[Pokémon]] franchise, [[Satoshi Tajiri]]. His English surname is a pun of the original English motto, "[[Gotta catch 'em all!]]." <br />

==In the anime==<br />
===Character===<br />
[[File:Ash anime.png|200px|thumb|Ash Ketchum in the [[original series]]]]<br />
Ash's main goal in life, as described in [[EP001|the first episode]], is to be the world's greatest [[Pokémon Master]]. Unfortunatly for him, it quickly becomes abundantly clear that he shares this goal with a great many people, most of whom are far more capable then he. Ash began his journey at the age of 10 as a warm-hearted and well-intentioned but stubborn, rash and amateur [[Pokémon Trainer]]. He was forced to accept the cheeky {{AP|Pikachu}} from {{an|Professor Oak}} as his [[starter Pokémon]] because he carelessly broke his alarm clock in his sleep and woke up late on the day he was set to get his first Pokémon. He was determined to achieve his goal, however, and when Pikachu saw that he was willing to compromise his own safety to keep it safe he formed a strong bond of friendship with Pikachu. This would set his course for the future.<br />
[[File:Ash fleeing spearow.png|thumb|left|200px|Ash trying to keep Pikachu safe]]<br />
However, from that point, Ash still had a lot to learn about becoming a Trainer. The [[Ash's Butterfree|first Pokémon]] he {{pkmn2|caught}}, was caught by luck, as he knew absolutely nothing about [[Pokémon battle|battling]], and was hesitant to admit it whenever he was wrong. Many of his first [[Gym]] [[Badge]]s were given to him merely out of gratitude for his assistance rather than claiming an actual victory in battle over the [[Gym Leader]]s; of his first five Gym battles, only his victory over [[Lt. Surge]] was an actual victory. Every time he thought he was doing well, he would somehow cross paths with his childhood [[rival]], [[Gary Oak]]. He always reminded Ash that he was always a step or seven behind, with Gary catching around forty-five Pokémon by the time Ash had only caught his {{AP|seventh|Kingler}}. This hampered matters further when, owing to his inexperience, his {{AP|Charizard}}, one of his most powerful Pokémon, refused to listen to him until [[EP105|Ash could prove himself]] to the powerful Fire type.<br />
<br />
Over time, Ash's dedication to his goal paid off. After earning his first eight Badges he went on to compete in the [[Indigo League]], advancing to the fifth round - one further than Gary, and ending up in the top 16. After recovering from his defeat, he continued on to improve his skills; take on new challenges; and compete in more [[Pokémon League]] competitions - triumphing in the [[Orange League]] and the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ash AG.png|200px|thumb|left|Ash in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}]]<br />
Ash has changed a great deal over the course of the series, particularly in regards to his skill at [[Pokémon training]], but his earnestness, rashness, and determination have remained. Never straying from his goal, he has remained loyal to {{ashfr}}, his family, and his supporters, but most of all his Pokémon. Ash became a great Trainer by learning to find and use the inner strength of each of his Pokémon by bonding with them. For example, when he received a banner filled with prints from his Pokémon in ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!]]'', he knew which Pokémon placed specific prints, showing his close bond with them. He also learns where their hidden abilities lie, as well as resorting to unorthodox strategies when fighting particularly challenging opponents. For example, he uses his Pikachu's speed to outmaneuver larger foes and attack. In another instance, his {{AP|Charizard}} defeated [[Gary's Blastoise]] by causing the field to overheat before mounting a close-quarters attack while Blastoise was blinded by the steam. He also prefers to train a Pokémon to be the best it can without forcing it to [[Evolution|evolve]], as evidenced by his treatment of {{AP|Gligar|Gliscor}} in ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear With Fear!]]''. He is happy when his Pokémon evolve but lets them choose whether or not they want to evolve instead of forcing them.<br />
[[File:AshAura.png|thumb|right|250px|Ash using Aura inside the [[Tree of Beginning]]]]<br />
Early on, Ash originally trained not to further himself but instead to catch more Pokémon than Gary. He later slowed his pace which allowed him to focus on the individual traits of each Pokémon. At the [[Johto]] League [[Silver Conference]], with great humility and maturity, Ash finally won a battle against his old rival, signifying a great milestone in his history. His maturity has also increased in his dealings with Pokémon. This is shown when [[Ash's Primeape|a Mankey]] stole his {{AP|hat}} in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', he screamed and yelled at it, even climbing trees just to get his hat back, but when [[Dawn's Ambipom|an Aipom]] did the same in ''[[AG179|Slaking Kong]]'', he stated merely that he would feel strange without a hat. When Aipom stole his hat again in ''[[DP009|Setting the World on its Buneary!]]'', however, while it was under his ownership, he chased after it in the same manner as before.<br />
<br />
In most episodes of the anime, especially those during the Johto League saga, Ash befriends someone who will influence him and cause him to strive to become a better Trainer. Although he is not a dependent individual, he is still young and has learned to make his way relying on {{ashfr}}, particularly the maternal skills of Brock. The honor of "best friend" is usually reserved for Pikachu but Ash has come to see his closest human friends in the same light over time; using the term for {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'' as well as {{an|May}} and [[Max]] in ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within]]''.<br />
<br />
He has traversed much of the [[Pokémon world]] and has thus far participated in four [[Pokémon League#Championship competitions|Pokémon League regional competitions]], but he is still learning new things about Pokémon all the time.<br />
[[File:Ash DP 1.png|thumb|right|200px|Ash in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}]]<br />
Ash has gained a close connection with many [[legendary Pokémon]], including {{an|Mewtwo}}, {{an|Ho-Oh}}, {{OBP|Lugia|M02}}, {{OBP|Latias|M05}}, {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Azelf}}, {{OBP|Shaymin|M11}}, {{mov|Giratina}}, {{OBP|Arceus|M12}}, {{OBP|Victini|M14}}, {{OBP|Reshiram|M14}}{{tt|*|Black—Victini and Reshiram}}, {{OBP|Zekrom|M14}}{{tt|*|White—Victini and Zekrom}} and {{an|Meloetta}}. In the English dub [[M02|second movie]], he was revealed to be "The Chosen One" - the one who would bring balance back to the world when it was disrupted. <br />
<br />
Although viewed as a normal human, Ash does have some special abilities, as he is said to have the same [[aura]] as [[Sir Aaron]], a legendary hero, and is theoretically able to manipulate it in much the same way. Therefore, he made a connection with Sir Aaron's {{mov|Lucario|Lucario|08}}. However, he has not received any training in this field, opting to continue his Pokémon journey instead. He has also been likened to an ancient aura guardian in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', who also had a partner {{p|Pikachu}}. Later, in ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Parts 1]]'' and ''[[DP072|2]]'', Ash uses aura again to locate a lost {{p|Riolu}} and read Riolu's mind as well. This time, however, he merely senses the aura, rather than manipulating it.<br />
<br />
[[File:AshWallace.png|thumb|left|200px|Ash in the [[Wallace Cup]]]]<br />
Ash has also participated in Contests. He has a [[Contest Pass]] for the [[Sinnoh]] region, as well as one for the Hoenn region as it was required to watch one of the Contests held there. Ash carries half of a broken [[Poké Ball]] with him everywhere, while Gary has the other half, as a symbol of their ongoing, but now friendly, rivalry; [[Misty's special lure]], which she sent to him as a gift; and half of a Ribbon he received in a Contest against May before she left the group to compete in Johto. Ash also participated in the [[Wallace Cup]] on the suggestion of [[Wallace]] but he lost in the third round.<br />
<br />
Ash soon obtained all of the Sinnoh Gym Badges. During his battles in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], he managed to advance to the Top 4, during which time he defeated his long-time Sinnoh rival [[Paul]] for the first time, and fought against {{si|Tobias}}, becoming the only known Trainer to defeat his {{p|Darkrai}}. Though he lost later on in the battle, he seems to be okay with losing, as he has become closer to his Pokémon than ever before. Ash, {{an|Dawn}}, and Brock then set off on their own paths to follow their respective dreams, with Brock saying he will no longer be joining Ash on his next journey.<br />
<br />
In the {{series|Best Wishes}}, Ash came with Professor Oak and his mom on a trip to the [[Unova]] region. After losing in a battle to [[Trip]] and seeing the power of the legendary {{p|Zekrom}}, Ash became interested in traveling Unova to meet new Pokémon, as well as new friends. He is now currently in journey in [[Unova]], first bringing along only his Pikachu as he did in Hoenn.<br />
<br />
During his time in Unova, along with his quest for the badges, Ash also competed in the local competitions [[Club Battle]], [[Clubsplosion]] and [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]], despite battling quite well, he failed to win them and managed to be the runner-up of two of the three. Despite these mishaps, he didn't feel bad for seeing his friends winning the awards. After managing to obtain the Unova badges he was allowed to participate in the [[Vertress Conference]] along with his current and some new rivals. In the preliminary round, he battled Trip one-on-one, defeating him for the first time and ending their rivalry. Ash also defeated Stephan. He then battled one of his recent rivals, {{un|Cameron}}, where he lost in ''[[BW108|A Unova League Evolution!]]'', making it to the top 8 of the Vertress Conference.<br />
<br />
One particular characteristic about Ash that has not changed over the course of the series aside from his determination and his passion for raising and training Pokémon is that he is incredibly selfless. He will often (and this has happened for just about every one of his Pokémon) go to extraordinary lengths to earn a Pokémon's trust and respect; and he will often go out of his way to better understand a Pokémon that he sees as troubled. He is also very fair-minded and trusting, a true testament to his good-natured character.<br />
<br />
===Family===<br />
[[File:Younger Ash DP138.png|thumb|left|250px|A young Ash]]<br />
Ash is an only child that lived with his mother, [[Delia Ketchum]], until he left for his Pokémon journey at the age of ten.<br />
<br />
His father has not been introduced. The anime suggests that his father was once a Pokémon Trainer who began his journey in Pallet Town, and that he is still living. In the original, he is also confirmed to have a grandfather, and his son (Ash's father) followed his footsteps. An interview with the series' storyboarder confirmed Ash's father is a Trainer on his own journey. According to the same storyboarder, Ash's father may or may not be introduced in the series, depending on its necessity to further Ash's maturity and development as a Trainer.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon===<br />
[[File:Ash Pokemon with Oak.png|thumb|right|300px|A majority of Ash's Pokémon at Professor Oak's lab]]<br />
As a Trainer, Ash has captured and befriended a sizable number of Pokémon over the course of the anime. His philosophy on {{pkmn|training}} is that Pokémon are individuals and that a combination of trust, friendship and hard work are needed to overcome adversity. He seems to battle best with Pokémon that are similar to Pikachu: ones that are [[Appendix:Metagame terminology#Sweeper|speedy and maneuverable, yet able to perform high-powered attacks]]; however, he is willing to work with any Pokémon that comes into his care. Ash's battle style is generally spontaneous and fairly unorthodox, and his Pokémon often reflect these traits.<br />

====Currently in rotation====<br />
<!--Please do not remove the "minus Pikachu". It implies that Pikachu remains on hand at all times.--><br />
<!--Pikachu and Charizard to be listed as with Ash after the latter one returns.--><br />
In the [[Unova]] region, Ash does not keep the same party at all times like he had done previously. Instead, he swaps his on hand Pokémon (with the exception of Pikachu) with ones that are being stored at [[Professor Juniper]]'s lab, much like he did with his {{AP|Kingler}} and {{AP|Muk}} in [[Kanto]] with {{an|Professor Oak}}.<br />

==In the manga==<br />
===In the Ash and Pikachu manga===<br />
Ash is a starring character in [[Ash and Pikachu]], a manga series based on the [[Johto]] saga of the Pokémon anime.<br />
<br />
===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===<br />
{{main|Ash Ketchum (EToP)}}<br />
Ash Ketchum is a starring character in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], a manga series based on the anime. Ash's journey in The Electric Tale of Pikachu follows roughly the same plot as in the anime: first traveling the [[Kanto]] region to participate in the [[Pokémon League]], before embarking on a journey around the [[Orange Archipelago]].<br />
<br />
===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===<br />
[[File:Ash and Brock MPJ.png|thumb|Ash and Brock in Magical Pokémon Journey]]<br />
Ash, along with {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}}, made cameo appearances in bonus chapters of the [[Magical Pokémon Journey]] manga. In the bonus chapters, Ash and {{ashfr}} have mistakenly wandered into the world Magical Pokémon Journey is set in. The bonus chapters chronicle their attempts to return to their own world (of the {{pkmn|anime}}) and their encounters with various aspects of the Magical Pokémon Journey canon which differ from the anime's canon (such as the use of [[Poké Ball]]s).<br />
<br />
===In the movie adaptations===<br />
[[File:DP series trio.png|thumb|left|200px|Ash with his friends in the movie 10 manga adaptation]]<br />
Since Ash and his Pikachu have appeared in every [[Pokémon movie]] to date, likewise, Ash is a main character in every Pokémon movie manga adaptations. The same applies with Ash's team as they made similar appearances.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
[[File:Ash catches a Pokemon.png|thumb|250px|Ash after catching a Pokémon.]]<br />
[[File:Ash Dewgong Drawing.png|thumb|200px|Ash's drawing of a Dewgong]]<br />
* Ash has never officially caught a Pokémon of the {{t|Steel}}, {{t|Psychic}}, or {{t|Ghost}} types. <br />
** This excludes both his unofficial {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}}, a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Poison}} and in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga, where he has caught a {{p|Slowpoke}}, a dual-type {{2t|Water|Psychic}}.<br />
* The date of Ash's birth, according to [[Takeshi Shudo]]'s anime novelizations, is 10 years, 10 months, and 10 days ''exactly'' prior to the day he began his Pokémon journey. Being that the same novelization declares that Pokémon Trainers obtain their first Pokémon in April of the year following their 10th birthday, and the anime itself began broadcast on the first of that month in 1997 in Japan, Ash's birthday, if April 1 was the first day of his journey, would be May 22.<br />
* When [[Veronica Taylor]] was interviewed in the documentary "Adventures in Voice Acting", she stated that during her audition for the role of Ash, he was known as Casey at the time. This name would later be given to a {{an|Casey|recurring character from Johto}}.<br />
* Ash has shown to possess some {{wp|drawing}} abilities which were shown in ''[[DP089|Up Close and Personable!]]'' where he drew a {{p|Dewgong}}.<br />
* Ash has been shown to be a good climber, as mentioned in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'' (as {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} say "He climbs like a {{p|Mankey}}!") and shown in several episodes throughout the series. He demonstrates this again in ''[[BW002|Enter Iris and Axew!]]'', when he climbs up a tree to try and save {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Iris|Axew}}.<br />

'''Ash Ketchum''' (Japanese: '''サトシ''' ''Satoshi'') is the main character of both the [[Pokémon anime]] and ''[[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]'' manga, and is widely believed to be based on the {{ga|Red|protagonist}} of the [[Generation I| first generation]] Pokémon games, however this title is disputed with [[Red (game)|Trainer Red]] also laying plausible claim to said character role. <br />
<br />
He shares his Japanese name—which can be taken to mean "wisdom" or "reason" (智)—with the creator of the [[Pokémon]] franchise, [[Satoshi Tajiri]]. His English surname is a pun of the original English motto, "[[Gotta catch 'em all!]]." <br />

===Character===<br />
[[File:Ash anime.png|200px|thumb|Ash Ketchum in the [[original series]]]]<br />
Ash's main goal in life, as described in [[EP001|the first episode]], is to be the world's greatest [[Pokémon Master]]. Ash began his journey at the age of 10 as a warm-hearted and well-intentioned but stubborn, rash and amateur [[Pokémon Trainer]]. He was forced to accept the cheeky {{AP|Pikachu}} from {{an|Professor Oak}} as his [[starter Pokémon]] because he carelessly broke his alarm clock in his sleep and woke up late on the day he was set to get his first Pokémon. He was determined to achieve his goal, however, and when Pikachu saw that he was willing to compromise his own safety to keep it safe he formed a strong bond of friendship with Pikachu. This would set his course for the future.<br />
[[File:Ash fleeing spearow.png|thumb|left|200px|Ash trying to keep Pikachu safe]]<br />
However, from that point, Ash still had a lot to learn about becoming a Trainer. The [[Ash's Butterfree|first Pokémon]] he {{pkmn2|caught}}, was caught by luck, as he knew absolutely nothing about [[Pokémon battle|battling]], and was hesitant to admit it whenever he was wrong. Many of his first [[Gym]] [[Badge]]s were given to him merely out of gratitude for his assistance rather than claiming an actual victory in battle over the [[Gym Leader]]s; of his first five Gym battles, only his victory over [[Lt. Surge]] was an actual victory. Every time he thought he was doing well, he would somehow cross paths with his childhood [[rival]], [[Gary Oak]]. He always reminded Ash that he was always a step or seven behind, with Gary catching around forty-five Pokémon by the time Ash had only caught his {{AP|seventh|Kingler}}. This hampered matters further when, owing to his inexperience, his {{AP|Charizard}}, one of his most powerful Pokémon, refused to listen to him until [[EP105|Ash could prove himself]] to the powerful Fire type.<br />
<br />
Over time, Ash's dedication to his goal paid off. After earning his first eight Badges he went on to compete in the [[Indigo League]], advancing to the fifth round - one further than Gary, and ending up in the top 16. After recovering from his defeat, he continued on to improve his skills; take on new challenges; and compete in more [[Pokémon League]] competitions - triumphing in the [[Orange League]] and the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ash AG.png|200px|thumb|left|Ash in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}]]<br />
Ash has changed a great deal over the course of the series, particularly in regards to his skill at [[Pokémon training]], but his earnestness, rashness, and determination have remained. Never straying from his goal, he has remained loyal to {{ashfr}}, his family, and his supporters, but most of all his Pokémon. Ash became a great Trainer by learning to find and use the inner strength of each of his Pokémon by bonding with them. For example, when he received a banner filled with prints from his Pokémon in ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!]]'', he knew which Pokémon placed specific prints, showing his close bond with them. He also learns where their hidden abilities lie, as well as resorting to unorthodox strategies when fighting particularly challenging opponents. For example, he uses his Pikachu's speed to outmaneuver larger foes and attack. In another instance, his {{AP|Charizard}} defeated [[Gary's Blastoise]] by causing the field to overheat before mounting a close-quarters attack while Blastoise was blinded by the steam. He also prefers to train a Pokémon to be the best it can without forcing it to [[Evolution|evolve]], as evidenced by his treatment of {{AP|Gligar|Gliscor}} in ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear With Fear!]]''. He is happy when his Pokémon evolve but lets them choose whether or not they want to evolve instead of forcing them.<br />
[[File:AshAura.png|thumb|right|250px|Ash using Aura inside the [[Tree of Beginning]]]]<br />
Early on, Ash originally trained not to further himself but instead to catch more Pokémon than Gary. He later slowed his pace which allowed him to focus on the individual traits of each Pokémon. At the [[Johto]] League [[Silver Conference]], with great humility and maturity, Ash finally won a battle against his old rival, signifying a great milestone in his history. His maturity has also increased in his dealings with Pokémon. This is shown when [[Ash's Primeape|a Mankey]] stole his {{AP|hat}} in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', he screamed and yelled at it, even climbing trees just to get his hat back, but when [[Dawn's Ambipom|an Aipom]] did the same in ''[[AG179|Slaking Kong]]'', he stated merely that he would feel strange without a hat. When Aipom stole his hat again in ''[[DP009|Setting the World on its Buneary!]]'', however, while it was under his ownership, he chased after it in the same manner as before.<br />
<br />
In most episodes of the anime, especially those during the Johto League saga, Ash befriends someone who will influence him and cause him to strive to become a better Trainer. Although he is not a dependent individual, he is still young and has learned to make his way relying on {{ashfr}}, particularly the maternal skills of Brock. The honor of "best friend" is usually reserved for Pikachu but Ash has come to see his closest human friends in the same light over time; using the term for {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'' as well as {{an|May}} and [[Max]] in ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within]]''.<br />
<br />
He has traversed much of the [[Pokémon world]] and has thus far participated in four [[Pokémon League#Championship competitions|Pokémon League regional competitions]], but he is still learning new things about Pokémon all the time.<br />
[[File:Ash DP 1.png|thumb|right|200px|Ash in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}]]<br />
Ash has gained a close connection with many [[legendary Pokémon]], including {{an|Mewtwo}}, {{an|Ho-Oh}}, {{OBP|Lugia|M02}}, {{OBP|Latias|M05}}, {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Azelf}}, {{OBP|Shaymin|M11}}, {{mov|Giratina}}, {{OBP|Arceus|M12}}, {{OBP|Victini|M14}}, {{OBP|Reshiram|M14}}{{tt|*|Black—Victini and Reshiram}}, {{OBP|Zekrom|M14}}{{tt|*|White—Victini and Zekrom}} and {{an|Meloetta}}. In the English dub [[M02|second movie]], he was revealed to be "The Chosen One" - the one who would bring balance back to the world when it was disrupted. <br />
<br />
Although viewed as a normal human, Ash does have some special abilities, as he is said to have the same [[aura]] as [[Sir Aaron]], a legendary hero, and is theoretically able to manipulate it in much the same way. Therefore, he made a connection with Sir Aaron's {{mov|Lucario|Lucario|08}}. However, he has not received any training in this field, opting to continue his Pokémon journey instead. He has also been likened to an ancient aura guardian in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', who also had a partner {{p|Pikachu}}. Later, in ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Parts 1]]'' and ''[[DP072|2]]'', Ash uses aura again to locate a lost {{p|Riolu}} and read Riolu's mind as well. This time, however, he merely senses the aura, rather than manipulating it.<br />
<br />
[[File:AshWallace.png|thumb|left|200px|Ash in the [[Wallace Cup]]]]<br />
Ash has also participated in Contests. He has a [[Contest Pass]] for the [[Sinnoh]] region, as well as one for the Hoenn region as it was required to watch one of the Contests held there. Ash carries half of a broken [[Poké Ball]] with him everywhere, while Gary has the other half, as a symbol of their ongoing, but now friendly, rivalry; [[Misty's special lure]], which she sent to him as a gift; and half of a Ribbon he received in a Contest against May before she left the group to compete in Johto. Ash also participated in the [[Wallace Cup]] on the suggestion of [[Wallace]] but he lost in the third round.<br />
<br />
Ash soon obtained all of the Sinnoh Gym Badges. During his battles in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], he managed to advance to the Top 4, during which time he defeated his long-time Sinnoh rival [[Paul]] for the first time, and fought against {{si|Tobias}}, becoming the only known Trainer to defeat his {{p|Darkrai}}. Though he lost later on in the battle, he seems to be okay with losing, as he has become closer to his Pokémon than ever before. Ash, {{an|Dawn}}, and Brock then set off on their own paths to follow their respective dreams, with Brock saying he will no longer be joining Ash on his next journey.<br />
<br />
In the {{series|Best Wishes}}, Ash came with Professor Oak and his mom on a trip to the [[Unova]] region. After losing in a battle to [[Trip]] and seeing the power of the legendary {{p|Zekrom}}, Ash became interested in traveling Unova to meet new Pokémon, as well as new friends. He is now currently in journey in [[Unova]], first bringing along only his Pikachu as he did in Hoenn.<br />
<br />
During his time in Unova, along with his quest for the badges, Ash also competed in the local competitions [[Club Battle]], [[Clubsplosion]] and [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]], despite battling quite well, he failed to win them and managed to be the runner-up of two of the three. Despite these mishaps, he didn't feel bad for seeing his friends winning the awards. After managing to obtain the Unova badges he was allowed to participate in the [[Vertress Conference]] along with his current and some new rivals. In the preliminary round, he battled Trip one-on-one, defeating him for the first time and ending their rivalry. Ash also defeated Stephan. He then battled one of his recent rivals, {{un|Cameron}}, where he lost in ''[[BW108|A Unova League Evolution!]]'', making it to the top 8 of the Vertress Conference.<br />
<br />
One particular characteristic about Ash that has not changed over the course of the series aside from his determination and his passion for raising and training Pokémon is that he is incredibly selfless. He will often (and this has happened for just about every one of his Pokémon) go to extraordinary lengths to earn a Pokémon's trust and respect; and he will often go out of his way to better understand a Pokémon that he sees as troubled. He is also very fair-minded and trusting, a true testament to his good-natured character.<br />
<br />
===Family===<br />
[[File:Younger Ash DP138.png|thumb|left|250px|A young Ash]]<br />
Ash is an only child that lived with his mother, [[Delia Ketchum]], until he left for his Pokémon journey at the age of ten.<br />
<br />
His father has not been introduced. The anime suggests that his father was once a Pokémon Trainer who began his journey in Pallet Town, and that he is still living. In the original, he is also confirmed to have a grandfather, and his son (Ash's father) followed his footsteps. An interview with the series' storyboarder confirmed Ash's father is a Trainer on his own journey. According to the same storyboarder, Ash's father may or may not be introduced in the series, depending on its necessity to further Ash's maturity and development as a Trainer.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon===<br />
[[File:Ash Pokemon with Oak.png|thumb|right|300px|A majority of Ash's Pokémon at Professor Oak's lab]]<br />
As a Trainer, Ash has captured and befriended a sizable number of Pokémon over the course of the anime. His philosophy on {{pkmn|training}} is that Pokémon are individuals and that a combination of trust, friendship and hard work are needed to overcome adversity. He seems to battle best with Pokémon that are similar to Pikachu: ones that are [[Appendix:Metagame terminology#Sweeper|speedy and maneuverable, yet able to perform high-powered attacks]]; however, he is willing to work with any Pokémon that comes into his care. Ash's battle style is generally spontaneous and fairly unorthodox, and his Pokémon often reflect these traits.<br />

<!--Please do not remove the "minus Pikachu". It implies that Pikachu remains on hand at all times.--><br />
<!--Pikachu and Charizard to be listed as with Ash after the latter one returns.--><br />
In the [[Unova]] region, Ash does not keep the same party at all times like he had done previously. Instead, he swaps his on hand Pokémon (with the exception of Pikachu) with ones that are being stored at [[Professor Juniper]]'s lab, much like he did with his {{AP|Kingler}} and {{AP|Muk}} in [[Kanto]] with {{an|Professor Oak}}.<br />

==In the manga==<br />
===In the Ash and Pikachu manga===<br />
Ash is a starring character in [[Ash and Pikachu]], a manga series based on the [[Johto]] saga of the Pokémon anime.<br />
<br />
===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===<br />
{{main|Ash Ketchum (EToP)}}<br />
Ash Ketchum is a starring character in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], a manga series based on the anime. Ash's journey in The Electric Tale of Pikachu follows roughly the same plot as in the anime: first traveling the [[Kanto]] region to participate in the [[Pokémon League]], before embarking on a journey around the [[Orange Archipelago]].<br />
<br />
===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===<br />
[[File:Ash and Brock MPJ.png|thumb|Ash and Brock in Magical Pokémon Journey]]<br />
Ash, along with {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}}, made cameo appearances in bonus chapters of the [[Magical Pokémon Journey]] manga. In the bonus chapters, Ash and {{ashfr}} have mistakenly wandered into the world Magical Pokémon Journey is set in. The bonus chapters chronicle their attempts to return to their own world (of the {{pkmn|anime}}) and their encounters with various aspects of the Magical Pokémon Journey canon which differ from the anime's canon (such as the use of [[Poké Ball]]s).<br />
<br />
===In the movie adaptations===<br />
[[File:DP series trio.png|thumb|left|200px|Ash with his friends in the movie 10 manga adaptation]]<br />
Since Ash and his Pikachu have appeared in every [[Pokémon movie]] to date, likewise, Ash is a main character in every Pokémon movie manga adaptations. The same applies with Ash's team as they made similar appearances.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
[[File:Ash catches a Pokemon.png|thumb|250px|Ash after catching a Pokémon.]]<br />
[[File:Ash Dewgong Drawing.png|thumb|200px|Ash's drawing of a Dewgong]]<br />
* Ash has never officially caught a Pokémon of the {{t|Steel}}, {{t|Psychic}}, or {{t|Ghost}} types. <br />
** This excludes both his unofficial {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}}, a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Poison}} and in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga, where he has caught a {{p|Slowpoke}}, a dual-type {{2t|Water|Psychic}}.<br />
* The date of Ash's birth, according to [[Takeshi Shudo]]'s anime novelizations, is 10 years, 10 months, and 10 days ''exactly'' prior to the day he began his Pokémon journey. Being that the same novelization declares that Pokémon Trainers obtain their first Pokémon in April of the year following their 10th birthday, and the anime itself began broadcast on the first of that month in 1997 in Japan, Ash's birthday, if April 1 was the first day of his journey, would be May 22.<br />
* When [[Veronica Taylor]] was interviewed in the documentary "Adventures in Voice Acting", she stated that during her audition for the role of Ash, he was known as Casey at the time. This name would later be given to a {{an|Casey|recurring character from Johto}}.<br />
* Ash has shown to possess some {{wp|drawing}} abilities which were shown in ''[[DP089|Up Close and Personable!]]'' where he drew a {{p|Dewgong}}.<br />
* Ash has been shown to be a good climber, as mentioned in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'' (as {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} say "He climbs like a {{p|Mankey}}!") and shown in several episodes throughout the series. He demonstrates this again in ''[[BW002|Enter Iris and Axew!]]'', when he climbs up a tree to try and save {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Iris|Axew}}.<br />

'''Ash Ketchum''' (Japanese: '''サトシ''' ''Satoshi'') is the main character of both the [[Pokémon anime]] and ''[[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]'' manga, and is widely believed to be based on the {{ga|Red|protagonist}} of the [[Generation I| first generation]] Pokémon games, however this title is disputed with [[trainer red|Trainer Red]] also laying plausible claim to said character role. <br />
<br />
He shares his Japanese name—which can be taken to mean "wisdom" or "reason" (智)—with the creator of the [[Pokémon]] franchise, [[Satoshi Tajiri]]. His English surname is a pun of the original English motto, "[[Gotta catch 'em all!]]." <br />

==In the anime==<br />
===Character===<br />
[[File:Ash anime.png|200px|thumb|Ash Ketchum in the [[original series]]]]<br />
Ash's main goal in life, as described in [[EP001|the first episode]], is to be the world's greatest [[Pokémon Master]]. Ash began his journey at the age of 10 as a warm-hearted and well-intentioned but stubborn, rash and amateur [[Pokémon Trainer]]. He was forced to accept the cheeky {{AP|Pikachu}} from {{an|Professor Oak}} as his [[starter Pokémon]] because he carelessly broke his alarm clock in his sleep and woke up late on the day he was set to get his first Pokémon. He was determined to achieve his goal, however, and when Pikachu saw that he was willing to compromise his own safety to keep it safe he formed a strong bond of friendship with Pikachu. This would set his course for the future.<br />
[[File:Ash fleeing spearow.png|thumb|left|200px|Ash trying to keep Pikachu safe]]<br />
However, from that point, Ash still had a lot to learn about becoming a Trainer. The [[Ash's Butterfree|first Pokémon]] he {{pkmn2|caught}}, was caught by luck, as he knew absolutely nothing about [[Pokémon battle|battling]], and was hesitant to admit it whenever he was wrong. Many of his first [[Gym]] [[Badge]]s were given to him merely out of gratitude for his assistance rather than claiming an actual victory in battle over the [[Gym Leader]]s; of his first five Gym battles, only his victory over [[Lt. Surge]] was an actual victory. Every time he thought he was doing well, he would somehow cross paths with his childhood [[rival]], [[Gary Oak]]. He always reminded Ash that he was always a step or seven behind, with Gary catching around forty-five Pokémon by the time Ash had only caught his {{AP|seventh|Kingler}}. This hampered matters further when, owing to his inexperience, his {{AP|Charizard}}, one of his most powerful Pokémon, refused to listen to him until [[EP105|Ash could prove himself]] to the powerful Fire type.<br />
<br />
Over time, Ash's dedication to his goal paid off. After earning his first eight Badges he went on to compete in the [[Indigo League]], advancing to the fifth round - one further than Gary, and ending up in the top 16. After recovering from his defeat, he continued on to improve his skills; take on new challenges; and compete in more [[Pokémon League]] competitions - triumphing in the [[Orange League]] and the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ash AG.png|200px|thumb|left|Ash in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}]]<br />
Ash has changed a great deal over the course of the series, particularly in regards to his skill at [[Pokémon training]], but his earnestness, rashness, and determination have remained. Never straying from his goal, he has remained loyal to {{ashfr}}, his family, and his supporters, but most of all his Pokémon. Ash became a great Trainer by learning to find and use the inner strength of each of his Pokémon by bonding with them. For example, when he received a banner filled with prints from his Pokémon in ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!]]'', he knew which Pokémon placed specific prints, showing his close bond with them. He also learns where their hidden abilities lie, as well as resorting to unorthodox strategies when fighting particularly challenging opponents. For example, he uses his Pikachu's speed to outmaneuver larger foes and attack. In another instance, his {{AP|Charizard}} defeated [[Gary's Blastoise]] by causing the field to overheat before mounting a close-quarters attack while Blastoise was blinded by the steam. He also prefers to train a Pokémon to be the best it can without forcing it to [[Evolution|evolve]], as evidenced by his treatment of {{AP|Gligar|Gliscor}} in ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear With Fear!]]''. He is happy when his Pokémon evolve but lets them choose whether or not they want to evolve instead of forcing them.<br />
[[File:AshAura.png|thumb|right|250px|Ash using Aura inside the [[Tree of Beginning]]]]<br />
Early on, Ash originally trained not to further himself but instead to catch more Pokémon than Gary. He later slowed his pace which allowed him to focus on the individual traits of each Pokémon. At the [[Johto]] League [[Silver Conference]], with great humility and maturity, Ash finally won a battle against his old rival, signifying a great milestone in his history. His maturity has also increased in his dealings with Pokémon. This is shown when [[Ash's Primeape|a Mankey]] stole his {{AP|hat}} in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', he screamed and yelled at it, even climbing trees just to get his hat back, but when [[Dawn's Ambipom|an Aipom]] did the same in ''[[AG179|Slaking Kong]]'', he stated merely that he would feel strange without a hat. When Aipom stole his hat again in ''[[DP009|Setting the World on its Buneary!]]'', however, while it was under his ownership, he chased after it in the same manner as before.<br />
<br />
In most episodes of the anime, especially those during the Johto League saga, Ash befriends someone who will influence him and cause him to strive to become a better Trainer. Although he is not a dependent individual, he is still young and has learned to make his way relying on {{ashfr}}, particularly the maternal skills of Brock. The honor of "best friend" is usually reserved for Pikachu but Ash has come to see his closest human friends in the same light over time; using the term for {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'' as well as {{an|May}} and [[Max]] in ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within]]''.<br />
<br />
He has traversed much of the [[Pokémon world]] and has thus far participated in four [[Pokémon League#Championship competitions|Pokémon League regional competitions]], but he is still learning new things about Pokémon all the time.<br />
[[File:Ash DP 1.png|thumb|right|200px|Ash in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}]]<br />
Ash has gained a close connection with many [[legendary Pokémon]], including {{an|Mewtwo}}, {{an|Ho-Oh}}, {{OBP|Lugia|M02}}, {{OBP|Latias|M05}}, {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Azelf}}, {{OBP|Shaymin|M11}}, {{mov|Giratina}}, {{OBP|Arceus|M12}}, {{OBP|Victini|M14}}, {{OBP|Reshiram|M14}}{{tt|*|Black—Victini and Reshiram}}, {{OBP|Zekrom|M14}}{{tt|*|White—Victini and Zekrom}} and {{an|Meloetta}}. In the English dub [[M02|second movie]], he was revealed to be "The Chosen One" - the one who would bring balance back to the world when it was disrupted. <br />
<br />
Although viewed as a normal human, Ash does have some special abilities, as he is said to have the same [[aura]] as [[Sir Aaron]], a legendary hero, and is theoretically able to manipulate it in much the same way. Therefore, he made a connection with Sir Aaron's {{mov|Lucario|Lucario|08}}. However, he has not received any training in this field, opting to continue his Pokémon journey instead. He has also been likened to an ancient aura guardian in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', who also had a partner {{p|Pikachu}}. Later, in ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Parts 1]]'' and ''[[DP072|2]]'', Ash uses aura again to locate a lost {{p|Riolu}} and read Riolu's mind as well. This time, however, he merely senses the aura, rather than manipulating it.<br />
<br />
[[File:AshWallace.png|thumb|left|200px|Ash in the [[Wallace Cup]]]]<br />
Ash has also participated in Contests. He has a [[Contest Pass]] for the [[Sinnoh]] region, as well as one for the Hoenn region as it was required to watch one of the Contests held there. Ash carries half of a broken [[Poké Ball]] with him everywhere, while Gary has the other half, as a symbol of their ongoing, but now friendly, rivalry; [[Misty's special lure]], which she sent to him as a gift; and half of a Ribbon he received in a Contest against May before she left the group to compete in Johto. Ash also participated in the [[Wallace Cup]] on the suggestion of [[Wallace]] but he lost in the third round.<br />
<br />
Ash soon obtained all of the Sinnoh Gym Badges. During his battles in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], he managed to advance to the Top 4, during which time he defeated his long-time Sinnoh rival [[Paul]] for the first time, and fought against {{si|Tobias}}, becoming the only known Trainer to defeat his {{p|Darkrai}}. Though he lost later on in the battle, he seems to be okay with losing, as he has become closer to his Pokémon than ever before. Ash, {{an|Dawn}}, and Brock then set off on their own paths to follow their respective dreams, with Brock saying he will no longer be joining Ash on his next journey.<br />
<br />
In the {{series|Best Wishes}}, Ash came with Professor Oak and his mom on a trip to the [[Unova]] region. After losing in a battle to [[Trip]] and seeing the power of the legendary {{p|Zekrom}}, Ash became interested in traveling Unova to meet new Pokémon, as well as new friends. He is now currently in journey in [[Unova]], first bringing along only his Pikachu as he did in Hoenn.<br />
<br />
During his time in Unova, along with his quest for the badges, Ash also competed in the local competitions [[Club Battle]], [[Clubsplosion]] and [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]], despite battling quite well, he failed to win them and managed to be the runner-up of two of the three. Despite these mishaps, he didn't feel bad for seeing his friends winning the awards. After managing to obtain the Unova badges he was allowed to participate in the [[Vertress Conference]] along with his current and some new rivals. In the preliminary round, he battled Trip one-on-one, defeating him for the first time and ending their rivalry. Ash also defeated Stephan. He then battled one of his recent rivals, {{un|Cameron}}, where he lost in ''[[BW108|A Unova League Evolution!]]'', making it to the top 8 of the Vertress Conference.<br />
<br />
One particular characteristic about Ash that has not changed over the course of the series aside from his determination and his passion for raising and training Pokémon is that he is incredibly selfless. He will often (and this has happened for just about every one of his Pokémon) go to extraordinary lengths to earn a Pokémon's trust and respect; and he will often go out of his way to better understand a Pokémon that he sees as troubled. He is also very fair-minded and trusting, a true testament to his good-natured character.<br />
<br />
===Family===<br />
[[File:Younger Ash DP138.png|thumb|left|250px|A young Ash]]<br />
Ash is an only child that lived with his mother, [[Delia Ketchum]], until he left for his Pokémon journey at the age of ten.<br />
<br />
His father has not been introduced. The anime suggests that his father was once a Pokémon Trainer who began his journey in Pallet Town, and that he is still living. In the original, he is also confirmed to have a grandfather, and his son (Ash's father) followed his footsteps. An interview with the series' storyboarder confirmed Ash's father is a Trainer on his own journey. According to the same storyboarder, Ash's father may or may not be introduced in the series, depending on its necessity to further Ash's maturity and development as a Trainer.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon===<br />
[[File:Ash Pokemon with Oak.png|thumb|right|300px|A majority of Ash's Pokémon at Professor Oak's lab]]<br />
As a Trainer, Ash has captured and befriended a sizable number of Pokémon over the course of the anime. His philosophy on {{pkmn|training}} is that Pokémon are individuals and that a combination of trust, friendship and hard work are needed to overcome adversity. He seems to battle best with Pokémon that are similar to Pikachu: ones that are [[Appendix:Metagame terminology#Sweeper|speedy and maneuverable, yet able to perform high-powered attacks]]; however, he is willing to work with any Pokémon that comes into his care. Ash's battle style is generally spontaneous and fairly unorthodox, and his Pokémon often reflect these traits.<br />

<!--Please do not remove the "minus Pikachu". It implies that Pikachu remains on hand at all times.--><br />
<!--Pikachu and Charizard to be listed as with Ash after the latter one returns.--><br />
In the [[Unova]] region, Ash does not keep the same party at all times like he had done previously. Instead, he swaps his on hand Pokémon (with the exception of Pikachu) with ones that are being stored at [[Professor Juniper]]'s lab, much like he did with his {{AP|Kingler}} and {{AP|Muk}} in [[Kanto]] with {{an|Professor Oak}}.<br />

==In the manga==<br />
===In the Ash and Pikachu manga===<br />
Ash is a starring character in [[Ash and Pikachu]], a manga series based on the [[Johto]] saga of the Pokémon anime.<br />
<br />
===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===<br />
{{main|Ash Ketchum (EToP)}}<br />
Ash Ketchum is a starring character in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], a manga series based on the anime. Ash's journey in The Electric Tale of Pikachu follows roughly the same plot as in the anime: first traveling the [[Kanto]] region to participate in the [[Pokémon League]], before embarking on a journey around the [[Orange Archipelago]].<br />
<br />
===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===<br />
[[File:Ash and Brock MPJ.png|thumb|Ash and Brock in Magical Pokémon Journey]]<br />
Ash, along with {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}}, made cameo appearances in bonus chapters of the [[Magical Pokémon Journey]] manga. In the bonus chapters, Ash and {{ashfr}} have mistakenly wandered into the world Magical Pokémon Journey is set in. The bonus chapters chronicle their attempts to return to their own world (of the {{pkmn|anime}}) and their encounters with various aspects of the Magical Pokémon Journey canon which differ from the anime's canon (such as the use of [[Poké Ball]]s).<br />
<br />
===In the movie adaptations===<br />
[[File:DP series trio.png|thumb|left|200px|Ash with his friends in the movie 10 manga adaptation]]<br />
Since Ash and his Pikachu have appeared in every [[Pokémon movie]] to date, likewise, Ash is a main character in every Pokémon movie manga adaptations. The same applies with Ash's team as they made similar appearances.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
[[File:Ash catches a Pokemon.png|thumb|250px|Ash after catching a Pokémon.]]<br />
[[File:Ash Dewgong Drawing.png|thumb|200px|Ash's drawing of a Dewgong]]<br />
* Ash has never officially caught a Pokémon of the {{t|Steel}}, {{t|Psychic}}, or {{t|Ghost}} types. <br />
** This excludes both his unofficial {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}}, a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Poison}} and in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga, where he has caught a {{p|Slowpoke}}, a dual-type {{2t|Water|Psychic}}.<br />
* The date of Ash's birth, according to [[Takeshi Shudo]]'s anime novelizations, is 10 years, 10 months, and 10 days ''exactly'' prior to the day he began his Pokémon journey. Being that the same novelization declares that Pokémon Trainers obtain their first Pokémon in April of the year following their 10th birthday, and the anime itself began broadcast on the first of that month in 1997 in Japan, Ash's birthday, if April 1 was the first day of his journey, would be May 22.<br />
* When [[Veronica Taylor]] was interviewed in the documentary "Adventures in Voice Acting", she stated that during her audition for the role of Ash, he was known as Casey at the time. This name would later be given to a {{an|Casey|recurring character from Johto}}.<br />
* Ash has shown to possess some {{wp|drawing}} abilities which were shown in ''[[DP089|Up Close and Personable!]]'' where he drew a {{p|Dewgong}}.<br />
* Ash has been shown to be a good climber, as mentioned in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'' (as {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} say "He climbs like a {{p|Mankey}}!") and shown in several episodes throughout the series. He demonstrates this again in ''[[BW002|Enter Iris and Axew!]]'', when he climbs up a tree to try and save {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Iris|Axew}}.<br />

'''Ash Ketchum''' (Japanese: '''サトシ''' ''Satoshi'') is the main character of both the [[Pokémon anime]] and ''[[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]'' manga, and is widely believed to be based on the {{ga|Red|protagonist}} of the [[Generation I| first generation]] Pokémon games, however this title is disputed with [[Trainer Red]] also laying plausible claim to said character role. <br />
<br />
He shares his Japanese name—which can be taken to mean "wisdom" or "reason" (智)—with the creator of the [[Pokémon]] franchise, [[Satoshi Tajiri]]. His English surname is a pun of the original English motto, "[[Gotta catch 'em all!]]." <br />

==In the anime==<br />
===Character===<br />
[[File:Ash anime.png|200px|thumb|Ash Ketchum in the [[original series]]]]<br />
Ash's main goal in life, as described in [[EP001|the first episode]], is to be the world's greatest [[Pokémon Master]]. Ash began his journey at the age of 10 as a warm-hearted and well-intentioned but stubborn, rash and amateur [[Pokémon Trainer]]. He was forced to accept the cheeky {{AP|Pikachu}} from {{an|Professor Oak}} as his [[starter Pokémon]] because he carelessly broke his alarm clock in his sleep and woke up late on the day he was set to get his first Pokémon. He was determined to achieve his goal, however, and when Pikachu saw that he was willing to compromise his own safety to keep it safe he formed a strong bond of friendship with Pikachu. This would set his course for the future.<br />
[[File:Ash fleeing spearow.png|thumb|left|200px|Ash trying to keep Pikachu safe]]<br />
However, from that point, Ash still had a lot to learn about becoming a Trainer. The [[Ash's Butterfree|first Pokémon]] he {{pkmn2|caught}}, was caught by luck, as he knew absolutely nothing about [[Pokémon battle|battling]], and was hesitant to admit it whenever he was wrong. Many of his first [[Gym]] [[Badge]]s were given to him merely out of gratitude for his assistance rather than claiming an actual victory in battle over the [[Gym Leader]]s; of his first five Gym battles, only his victory over [[Lt. Surge]] was an actual victory. Every time he thought he was doing well, he would somehow cross paths with his childhood [[rival]], [[Gary Oak]]. He always reminded Ash that he was always a step or seven behind, with Gary catching around forty-five Pokémon by the time Ash had only caught his {{AP|seventh|Kingler}}. This hampered matters further when, owing to his inexperience, his {{AP|Charizard}}, one of his most powerful Pokémon, refused to listen to him until [[EP105|Ash could prove himself]] to the powerful Fire type.<br />
<br />
Over time, Ash's dedication to his goal paid off. After earning his first eight Badges he went on to compete in the [[Indigo League]], advancing to the fifth round - one further than Gary, and ending up in the top 16. After recovering from his defeat, he continued on to improve his skills; take on new challenges; and compete in more [[Pokémon League]] competitions - triumphing in the [[Orange League]] and the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ash AG.png|200px|thumb|left|Ash in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}]]<br />
Ash has changed a great deal over the course of the series, particularly in regards to his skill at [[Pokémon training]], but his earnestness, rashness, and determination have remained. Never straying from his goal, he has remained loyal to {{ashfr}}, his family, and his supporters, but most of all his Pokémon. Ash became a great Trainer by learning to find and use the inner strength of each of his Pokémon by bonding with them. For example, when he received a banner filled with prints from his Pokémon in ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!]]'', he knew which Pokémon placed specific prints, showing his close bond with them. He also learns where their hidden abilities lie, as well as resorting to unorthodox strategies when fighting particularly challenging opponents. For example, he uses his Pikachu's speed to outmaneuver larger foes and attack. In another instance, his {{AP|Charizard}} defeated [[Gary's Blastoise]] by causing the field to overheat before mounting a close-quarters attack while Blastoise was blinded by the steam. He also prefers to train a Pokémon to be the best it can without forcing it to [[Evolution|evolve]], as evidenced by his treatment of {{AP|Gligar|Gliscor}} in ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear With Fear!]]''. He is happy when his Pokémon evolve but lets them choose whether or not they want to evolve instead of forcing them.<br />
[[File:AshAura.png|thumb|right|250px|Ash using Aura inside the [[Tree of Beginning]]]]<br />
Early on, Ash originally trained not to further himself but instead to catch more Pokémon than Gary. He later slowed his pace which allowed him to focus on the individual traits of each Pokémon. At the [[Johto]] League [[Silver Conference]], with great humility and maturity, Ash finally won a battle against his old rival, signifying a great milestone in his history. His maturity has also increased in his dealings with Pokémon. This is shown when [[Ash's Primeape|a Mankey]] stole his {{AP|hat}} in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', he screamed and yelled at it, even climbing trees just to get his hat back, but when [[Dawn's Ambipom|an Aipom]] did the same in ''[[AG179|Slaking Kong]]'', he stated merely that he would feel strange without a hat. When Aipom stole his hat again in ''[[DP009|Setting the World on its Buneary!]]'', however, while it was under his ownership, he chased after it in the same manner as before.<br />
<br />
In most episodes of the anime, especially those during the Johto League saga, Ash befriends someone who will influence him and cause him to strive to become a better Trainer. Although he is not a dependent individual, he is still young and has learned to make his way relying on {{ashfr}}, particularly the maternal skills of Brock. The honor of "best friend" is usually reserved for Pikachu but Ash has come to see his closest human friends in the same light over time; using the term for {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'' as well as {{an|May}} and [[Max]] in ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within]]''.<br />
<br />
He has traversed much of the [[Pokémon world]] and has thus far participated in four [[Pokémon League#Championship competitions|Pokémon League regional competitions]], but he is still learning new things about Pokémon all the time.<br />
[[File:Ash DP 1.png|thumb|right|200px|Ash in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}]]<br />
Ash has gained a close connection with many [[legendary Pokémon]], including {{an|Mewtwo}}, {{an|Ho-Oh}}, {{OBP|Lugia|M02}}, {{OBP|Latias|M05}}, {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Azelf}}, {{OBP|Shaymin|M11}}, {{mov|Giratina}}, {{OBP|Arceus|M12}}, {{OBP|Victini|M14}}, {{OBP|Reshiram|M14}}{{tt|*|Black—Victini and Reshiram}}, {{OBP|Zekrom|M14}}{{tt|*|White—Victini and Zekrom}} and {{an|Meloetta}}. In the English dub [[M02|second movie]], he was revealed to be "The Chosen One" - the one who would bring balance back to the world when it was disrupted. <br />
<br />
Although viewed as a normal human, Ash does have some special abilities, as he is said to have the same [[aura]] as [[Sir Aaron]], a legendary hero, and is theoretically able to manipulate it in much the same way. Therefore, he made a connection with Sir Aaron's {{mov|Lucario|Lucario|08}}. However, he has not received any training in this field, opting to continue his Pokémon journey instead. He has also been likened to an ancient aura guardian in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', who also had a partner {{p|Pikachu}}. Later, in ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Parts 1]]'' and ''[[DP072|2]]'', Ash uses aura again to locate a lost {{p|Riolu}} and read Riolu's mind as well. This time, however, he merely senses the aura, rather than manipulating it.<br />
<br />
[[File:AshWallace.png|thumb|left|200px|Ash in the [[Wallace Cup]]]]<br />
Ash has also participated in Contests. He has a [[Contest Pass]] for the [[Sinnoh]] region, as well as one for the Hoenn region as it was required to watch one of the Contests held there. Ash carries half of a broken [[Poké Ball]] with him everywhere, while Gary has the other half, as a symbol of their ongoing, but now friendly, rivalry; [[Misty's special lure]], which she sent to him as a gift; and half of a Ribbon he received in a Contest against May before she left the group to compete in Johto. Ash also participated in the [[Wallace Cup]] on the suggestion of [[Wallace]] but he lost in the third round.<br />
<br />
Ash soon obtained all of the Sinnoh Gym Badges. During his battles in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], he managed to advance to the Top 4, during which time he defeated his long-time Sinnoh rival [[Paul]] for the first time, and fought against {{si|Tobias}}, becoming the only known Trainer to defeat his {{p|Darkrai}}. Though he lost later on in the battle, he seems to be okay with losing, as he has become closer to his Pokémon than ever before. Ash, {{an|Dawn}}, and Brock then set off on their own paths to follow their respective dreams, with Brock saying he will no longer be joining Ash on his next journey.<br />
<br />
In the {{series|Best Wishes}}, Ash came with Professor Oak and his mom on a trip to the [[Unova]] region. After losing in a battle to [[Trip]] and seeing the power of the legendary {{p|Zekrom}}, Ash became interested in traveling Unova to meet new Pokémon, as well as new friends. He is now currently in journey in [[Unova]], first bringing along only his Pikachu as he did in Hoenn.<br />
<br />
During his time in Unova, along with his quest for the badges, Ash also competed in the local competitions [[Club Battle]], [[Clubsplosion]] and [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]], despite battling quite well, he failed to win them and managed to be the runner-up of two of the three. Despite these mishaps, he didn't feel bad for seeing his friends winning the awards. After managing to obtain the Unova badges he was allowed to participate in the [[Vertress Conference]] along with his current and some new rivals. In the preliminary round, he battled Trip one-on-one, defeating him for the first time and ending their rivalry. Ash also defeated Stephan. He then battled one of his recent rivals, {{un|Cameron}}, where he lost in ''[[BW108|A Unova League Evolution!]]'', making it to the top 8 of the Vertress Conference.<br />
<br />
One particular characteristic about Ash that has not changed over the course of the series aside from his determination and his passion for raising and training Pokémon is that he is incredibly selfless. He will often (and this has happened for just about every one of his Pokémon) go to extraordinary lengths to earn a Pokémon's trust and respect; and he will often go out of his way to better understand a Pokémon that he sees as troubled. He is also very fair-minded and trusting, a true testament to his good-natured character.<br />
<br />
===Family===<br />
[[File:Younger Ash DP138.png|thumb|left|250px|A young Ash]]<br />
Ash is an only child that lived with his mother, [[Delia Ketchum]], until he left for his Pokémon journey at the age of ten.<br />
<br />
His father has not been introduced. The anime suggests that his father was once a Pokémon Trainer who began his journey in Pallet Town, and that he is still living. In the original, he is also confirmed to have a grandfather, and his son (Ash's father) followed his footsteps. An interview with the series' storyboarder confirmed Ash's father is a Trainer on his own journey. According to the same storyboarder, Ash's father may or may not be introduced in the series, depending on its necessity to further Ash's maturity and development as a Trainer.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon===<br />
[[File:Ash Pokemon with Oak.png|thumb|right|300px|A majority of Ash's Pokémon at Professor Oak's lab]]<br />
As a Trainer, Ash has captured and befriended a sizable number of Pokémon over the course of the anime. His philosophy on {{pkmn|training}} is that Pokémon are individuals and that a combination of trust, friendship and hard work are needed to overcome adversity. He seems to battle best with Pokémon that are similar to Pikachu: ones that are [[Appendix:Metagame terminology#Sweeper|speedy and maneuverable, yet able to perform high-powered attacks]]; however, he is willing to work with any Pokémon that comes into his care. Ash's battle style is generally spontaneous and fairly unorthodox, and his Pokémon often reflect these traits.<br />

<!--Please do not remove the "minus Pikachu". It implies that Pikachu remains on hand at all times.--><br />
<!--Pikachu and Charizard to be listed as with Ash after the latter one returns.--><br />
In the [[Unova]] region, Ash does not keep the same party at all times like he had done previously. Instead, he swaps his on hand Pokémon (with the exception of Pikachu) with ones that are being stored at [[Professor Juniper]]'s lab, much like he did with his {{AP|Kingler}} and {{AP|Muk}} in [[Kanto]] with {{an|Professor Oak}}.<br />

==In the manga==<br />
===In the Ash and Pikachu manga===<br />
Ash is a starring character in [[Ash and Pikachu]], a manga series based on the [[Johto]] saga of the Pokémon anime.<br />
<br />
===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===<br />
{{main|Ash Ketchum (EToP)}}<br />
Ash Ketchum is a starring character in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], a manga series based on the anime. Ash's journey in The Electric Tale of Pikachu follows roughly the same plot as in the anime: first traveling the [[Kanto]] region to participate in the [[Pokémon League]], before embarking on a journey around the [[Orange Archipelago]].<br />
<br />
===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===<br />
[[File:Ash and Brock MPJ.png|thumb|Ash and Brock in Magical Pokémon Journey]]<br />
Ash, along with {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}}, made cameo appearances in bonus chapters of the [[Magical Pokémon Journey]] manga. In the bonus chapters, Ash and {{ashfr}} have mistakenly wandered into the world Magical Pokémon Journey is set in. The bonus chapters chronicle their attempts to return to their own world (of the {{pkmn|anime}}) and their encounters with various aspects of the Magical Pokémon Journey canon which differ from the anime's canon (such as the use of [[Poké Ball]]s).<br />
<br />

==Trivia==<br />
[[File:Ash catches a Pokemon.png|thumb|250px|Ash after catching a Pokémon.]]<br />
[[File:Ash Dewgong Drawing.png|thumb|200px|Ash's drawing of a Dewgong]]<br />
* Ash has never officially caught a Pokémon of the {{t|Steel}}, {{t|Psychic}}, or {{t|Ghost}} types. <br />
** This excludes both his unofficial {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}}, a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Poison}} and in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga, where he has caught a {{p|Slowpoke}}, a dual-type {{2t|Water|Psychic}}.<br />
* The date of Ash's birth, according to [[Takeshi Shudo]]'s anime novelizations, is 10 years, 10 months, and 10 days ''exactly'' prior to the day he began his Pokémon journey. Being that the same novelization declares that Pokémon Trainers obtain their first Pokémon in April of the year following their 10th birthday, and the anime itself began broadcast on the first of that month in 1997 in Japan, Ash's birthday, if April 1 was the first day of his journey, would be May 22.<br />
* When [[Veronica Taylor]] was interviewed in the documentary "Adventures in Voice Acting", she stated that during her audition for the role of Ash, he was known as Casey at the time. This name would later be given to a {{an|Casey|recurring character from Johto}}.<br />
* Ash has shown to possess some {{wp|drawing}} abilities which were shown in ''[[DP089|Up Close and Personable!]]'' where he drew a {{p|Dewgong}}.<br />
* Ash has been shown to be a good climber, as mentioned in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'' (as {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} say "He climbs like a {{p|Mankey}}!") and shown in several episodes throughout the series. He demonstrates this again in ''[[BW002|Enter Iris and Axew!]]'', when he climbs up a tree to try and save {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Iris|Axew}}.<br />

Thank you for adding the information to the Berry pages! However, make sure when you're writing Pokémon that you include the accented e (é) and to capitalize it. If you don't know how to write it on your keyboard, the accented e is on the character palette, along with 'Poké'.

'''Berries''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|きのみ|Kinomi}}''' ''Berries'') are small, juicy, fleshy fruit. As in the real world, a large variety exists in the Pokémon world, with a large range of [[flavor]]s, names, and effects. First found in the [[Generation II]] games, many Berries have since become critical [[held item]]s in battle, where their various effects include HP and status ailment restoration, stat enhancement, and even damage negation.<br />
<br />
==In Generation II==<br />
[[File:GSC Berry Tree.png|frame|A Berry tree in Gold, Silver and Crystal]]<br />
In their introductory generation, Berries were somewhat hard to obtain, with a very limited amount of trees scattered across the Kanto and Johto regions, each giving out only one Berry of one of the ten types each day. Berries regenerated at midnight every day, and could be picked at any time. Wild Pokémon often held Berries, while several could be won as prizes in certain competitions. [[Apricorn]]s are seen by many as similar to these Berries, in regards to their maturity time, availability, and other aspects.<br />
<br />
===List of Berries===<br />
{{main|Berries (Generation II)}}<br />
The main Berry list from Generation II incorporated several functions of different healing items into the group of ten Berries. The names were simplistic, often describing only what the Berry itself did, with names like PRZCureBerry and PSNCureBerry standing out to many.<br />

[[File:Berries.png|thumb|left|Oran and Pecha Berries artwork]]<br />
Much as other aspects of the Pokémon franchise received their most major updates in the transition from Generation II to Generation III, the Berry system was completely overhauled in [[Generation III]]. Each of the Berries introduced in Generation III was given a number, not unlike the [[Pokédex]] numbers given to Pokémon, with the first ten in this ordering system having identical or nearly-identical effects to the Berries of Generation II. Several more Berries, found at the end of the listing, are extremely rare, with effects similar to items like {{DL|Battle item|X Attack}}. A majority of Berries, however, find their only use in being made into [[Pokéblock]]s for {{pkmn|Contest}}s. In the same way most Pokémon resemble real-world animals, these Berries typically resemble real-world fruit (though not all fruit represented are Berries, botanically or in common parlance, in real life). Descriptive tags detail some of their traits, much like a Pokédex entry, which are often shared with their real-world counterparts.<br />
<br />
While in Generation II, all Berries would regenerate at midnight, with only one fruit available from each tree each day, Generation III elaborated the system, giving each Berry a specific growth time, ranging between four hours and four days, and four stages of maturity which would be reached at the quarter, halfway, and three-quarters point of the full maturity time. Additionally, Berries no longer grew only in a specific plant that was a permanent fixture in the landscape, but in plants that disappeared when the Berries were picked from them, leaving behind a patch of [[soft soil]] where another Berry could be planted.<br />
<br />
This [[soft soil]] only exists in [[Hoenn]], however, and is not present in the [[Kanto]] or [[Orre]] regions. Thus, in {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, Berries that the {{player}} obtains can be repeatedly grown in any patch of soft soil, but not in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. However, in FireRed and LeafGreen, many varieties of Berries can be repeatedly obtained in the [[Sevii Islands]]' [[Berry Forest]], where certain Berries regularly fall off trees and [[items#recurring items|regenerate themselves]].<br />
<br />
Beginning in this generation, Berries are typically grouped in "families". This is an unofficial term for a group of five Berries that have the same growth period and similar flavoring distributions (such as Razz, which is mostly spicy but somewhat dry, and Bluk, which is mostly dry but somewhat sweet).<br />
<br />
In {{game2|FireRed|LeafGreen|Emerald}}, Berries can be ground up into [[Berry Powder]], which can be exchanged for [[herbal medicine]] or [[vitamin]]s in [[Cerulean City]] or [[Slateport City]].<br />
<br />
In Pokémon Emerald, a further advancement came to the Berry system, though only slightly. Six Berries, previously only usable to make Pokéblocks, were given an additional use. The {{b|Pomeg}}, {{b|Kelpsy}}, {{b|Qualot}}, {{b|Hondew}}, {{b|Grepa}}, and [[Tamato Berry|Tamato Berries]], formerly useless outside of the Contest circuit, now became known by fans as "EV Berries", as they now lowered the [[effort values]] gained by a Pokémon in battle while raising its friendship.<br />
<br />
===List of Berries===<br />
The Generation III Berry list has its core in the first ten Berries in order, with the ones coming last in sequence being among the most rare and sought after for their in-battle effect. A majority of these Berries are used solely for Pokéblock making, falling between those with other effects in the listing.<br />

<br />
====e-Reader Berries====<br />
The following Berries exist only in the games if the specific [[e-Reader]] card is swiped while the e-Reader is linked to a Ruby or Sapphire game cartridge. These Berries cannot be traded to other Generation III games, and if held by a Pokémon sent to Generation IV through [[Pal Park]], it will become an [[Enigma Berry]] when the Pokémon is recaught. As the e-Reader's lifespan was much shorter than expected by Nintendo, only two series of these special Berry e-cards were released, [[Pokémon Battle e: Series 1|the first]] both in Japan and internationally, and [[Pokémon Battle e: Series 2|the second]] only in Japan.<br />

==In Generation IV==<br />
[[File:DPPt Berry Tree.png|frame|{{ga|Dawn}} poses with her {{b|Razz}} and {{b|Bluk}} trees]]<br />
Much like most other aspects of Generation III, Berries remained very much the same in Generation IV, with the main set of 43 carried over to the new games. The e-Reader Berries, perhaps due to their relative obscurity and exclusivity to Ruby and Sapphire (as the e-Reader was incompatible with the international releases of FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald), are not present in this generation, though {{gdis|Chilan Berry|III|one of them}} shares its name in all languages with one of the newly-introduced Berries.<br />
<br />
A total of 21 new Berries were introduced in Generation IV, with 16 of them weakening {{DL|Damage modification|super effective}} moves used on the holder, one for each type, and one weakening any {{type|Normal}} move used on the holder. The remaining four are exclusive to [[Event Pokémon|events]], being held by event Pokémon given out in conjunction with the first three {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} {{pkmn|movie}}s. This brings the total amount of Berries to 64.<br />
<br />
Several Berries' growth times were changed in Generation IV, most notably that of the [[Tamato Berry]], which formerly grew in the same amount of time as the others in its flavor group, now grows in the same amount of time as the rest of the EV Berries. Other Berries whose growth times changed remained with the same growth times as the rest of their flavor group. Many Berries also received edits to their tree styles, with different palettes used to give each tree a more unique appearance, rather than the similar appearance several, most notably {{b|Razz}} and {{b|Bluk}}, had.<br />
[[File:HGSS Berry Tree.png|frame|Miniature {{b|Wacan}} and {{b|Yache}} trees grow in the [[Berry Planter]]]]<br />
[[File:Berry Pot.png|thumb|left|120px|A Berry Pot with a {{b|Leppa}} tree growing inside.]]<br />
In addition to the base growth time changes, special [[mulch]] was introduced that could be spread over a patch of soft soil to alter the growth rate of Berry plants, allowing them to be tended to more easily by those with a busy schedule. This mulch is available only at the [[Berry Master]]'s house in [[Sinnoh]] or at the flower shop in [[Goldenrod City]] in [[Johto]].<br />
<br />
Like how Berries were most used in Generation III to make Pokéblocks, in Generation IV Berries are used to make [[Poffin]], which achieves a similar [[condition]]-enhancing effect. Aside from this, those which have no in-battle effect can be traded in for [[Accessory|Accessories]] to be used to dress up Pokémon for {{pkmn|Super Contest}}s and pictures.<br />
<br />
While in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, [[soft soil]] could be found in most places in [[Sinnoh]], much like in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, no soft soil exists in [[Johto]] or [[Kanto]], visited in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. The [[Berry Pots]], however, hold four portable patches of soft soil, allowing the player to carry their Berry trees with them ''anywhere''.<br />
<br />
===List of Berries===<br />
The Generation IV Berry list is exactly the same as the Generation III list, but with all Berries falling after {{b|Belue}} moved back 17 places, to accommodate the type-resistant Berries. The other four event Berries are added to the end, after the [[Enigma Berry]]. All Berries now have some in-battle or out-of-battle use, but can also be used to make [[Poffin]]s.<br />

==In Generation V==<br />
[[File:DW Garden.png|thumb|300px|right|{{p|Mew}} visiting the {{pkmn|Dream World}} Garden, where a blooming {{b|Sitrus}} tree can be spotted.]]<br />
<br />
Unlike most games since Ruby and Sapphire, when the mechanic of growing Berries was introduced, Black and White do not allow players to plant and grow Berries in [[Unova]]. Berries cannot be transferred from another region using the [[Poké Transfer]], but some wild Unova Pokémon (like {{p|Minccino}}) can be found holding them, and the player may obtain them as gifts from NPCs or Trainers (such as {{tc|Pokémon Ranger}}s), or purchase them from Florist shops at [[Join Avenue]] in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}.<br />
<br />
Players may plant Berries in the [[Pokémon Dream World]] using the garden found in the area to the left of their Dream World home. Berries will take 50% longer to grow in the Dream World compared to their growth rates in Generation IV. Two rows are available from the beginning for players to plant their Berries in, with each row containing spaces for three Berries. As the player accumulates Dream Points {{p|Diglett}} will show up to expand the garden by plowing a new row (starting with a third row added at 900 points), up to a maximum of ten rows.<br />
<br />
As with Generation IV, the Berry plots require watering or they will dry out; a player can water their own Berries as often as needed (any time the garden soil is not described as "very moist"), and when visiting another player's home may water their Berries as well (up to 20 times for each voyage to the Dream World). This process of growing Berries in concentrated patches makes growing and cultivating more efficient as a counterbalance to the slower growth rate. Berry plants never die and resprout in the Dream World—they remain in their fruit-bearing stage until the Berries are picked.<br />
<br />
Berries may be sold to an [[item maniac]] on {{rt|5|Unova}} for various amounts, depending on the kind of Berry. This is also the sole use for Berries that do not serve a purpose in battles.<br />
* Berries that can be sold for {{pdollar}}30000 include: {{b|Lansat}}, {{b|Starf}}, {{b|Enigma}}, {{b|Micle}}, {{b|Custap}}, {{b|Jaboca}}, and {{b|Rowap}}.<br />
* Berries that can be sold for {{pdollar}}500 include: {{b|Razz}}, {{b|Bluk}}, {{b|Nanab}}, {{b|Wepear}}, {{b|Pinap}}, {{b|Cornn}}, {{b|Magost}}, {{b|Rabuta}}, {{b|Nomel}}, {{b|Spelon}}, {{b|Pamtre}}, {{b|Watmel}}, {{b|Durin}}, and {{b|Belue}}.<br />
* Berries that can be sold for {{pdollar}}20 include any Berry not listed above.<br />
<br />
Within the Dream World, combinations of Berries can be traded for [[Décor]].<br />
<br />
If the [[bag]] is sorted, it uses the same order of Berries in Generation IV except that all Berries that do not serve a purpose are moved to the end of the list.<br />
<br />
==Proper care of Berry plants==<br />
After a Berry is planted in soft soil, a player can ignore it until it bears fruit, which will often yield more Berries than initially planted, as most Berry trees will bear more than one fruit at minimum. Truly effective care, however, requires that the player pay close attention to the growing times, watering it, and picking it when it bears fruit so as to reap the benefit.<br />
<br />
===In Generation III===<br />
In general, plants must be watered at least once per growth period in order to get the maximum yield. When a plant is fully-grown, the player has an amount of time equal to the full growth time of the plant to pick the Berry; otherwise the plant will return to its "sprouting" stage. This can be done up to 9 times (for a total of 10 plantings) before the plant is permanently lost.<br />
<br />
====Formula====<br />
[[File:Berry Math Formula.png|frame|right|Berry formula]]<br />
The formula that the games use to decide how many fruits a specific Berry tree will bear is to the right of the page. This formula is calculated as follows:<br />
*''a'' is the maximum number of Berries that can appear on the plant<br />
*''b'' is the minimum number of Berries that can appear on the plant<br />
*''c'' is a number randomly chosen between ''a'' and ''b'', inclusive<br />
*''d'' is the number of growth stages during which the plant was watered<br />
<br />
This formula is only used if the player has watered the plant ''at least once'' during its growth. If the plant is left to its own devices, it will ''always'' bear the minimum number of fruit.<br />
<br />
====Stages====<br />
After they are planted in soft soil, all Berries have four stages of growth, which they will assume after a quarter, half, and three quarters of their full growth time has passed since their planting. Specific messages are associated with specific growth times, and will be displayed if the player checks the plant.<br />

===In Generation IV===<br />
[[File:Dryberries.png|thumb|right|The Razz plant has very dry soil; it has not been watered since it sprouted. The Bluk plant has dry soil; it has not been watered since it was growing taller. The Nanab plant has just been watered.]]<br />
The mechanics of Berry growth was expanded in Generation IV, where it is no longer sufficient to water a plant in each stage of growth for some Berries (conversely, for some Berries it is sufficient to water every two stages of growth). This is due to a new moisture mechanic introduced in these games.<br />
<br />
Each plant has a moisture rating that ranges from 0 to 100. When a Berry is planted or watered, the moisture rating will be reset to 100. Every hour afterwards, the moisture rating is deducted by a value specific to the Berry that is planted; this value is increased by 50% with the {{DL|Mulch|Growth Mulch}} and decreased by 50% with the {{DL|Mulch|Damp Mulch}}. Should the moisture rating be 0 when this occurs, however, the maximum yield of the plant is decreased by 1 (to a minimum of 2). Players are given a visual indication of the moisture rating of the plant, as the soil will lighten once the moisture rating falls below 50, and will appear to be dry once the moisture rating is 0.<br />
<br />
As with Generation III, players have an amount of time equal to the full growth time of the Berry before a fully-grown plant returns to its "sprouting stage". This time is raised by 50% if the player uses {{DL|Mulch|Stable Mulch}}. The use of {{DL|Mulch|Gooey Mulch}} will allow a total of 14 resproutings (for a total of 15 plantings) instead of 9 before the plant is permanently lost.<br />

===In the PokéPark series===<br />
[[File:PokePark Berry.png|thumb|A Berry from [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]].]]<br />
In [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]], Berries are used as a form of currency to pay for Attractions or training. One can earn Berries by clearing Skill Games or by earning the Bonus in an Attraction. When found on the field, green Berries are worth 10, red Berries are worth 50, and golden Berries are worth 100. There also exists a Big Berry, which some Pokémon desire to eat. They will become friends with Pikachu if one is carried to them. One Pokémon that eats Big Berries is Munchlax.<br />
<br />
Berries return as a form of currency in [[PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond]], with minor changes. Attractions are now free, but now items can be bought and sold for Berries, and other Pokémon will give the player Berries upon befriending, often as a token for beating them in certain challenges. Pokémon can also be re-challenged after befriending them, and they will continue to give the player Berries provided the player continues to win. On the field, Green Berries are worth 1, Red Berries are worth 30, and Gold Berries are worth 100. Big Berries are replaced by [[Items in PokéPark 2#Stinkberry|Stinkberries]], which displease most Pokémon (including the one carrying it), but Munchlax loves them.<br />

==In the TCG==<br />
Berries were introduced in the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}} in the {{TCG|Neo Genesis}} expansion, released shortly after {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} themselves. All of them are Pokémon Tools, a special subclass of {{TCG|Trainer card}} that may be attached to a Pokémon in play, much in the same way that items can be held by Pokémon in the games. Most of the TCG Berries are in fact Berries from the games, however, several of them are unique to the TCG. <br />
<br />
There are also Basic Pokémon cards that have Berries as held items, which were introduced in the {{TCG|Mysterious Treasures}} expansion. These held items work in the same fashion as Poké-Bodies, in that the effect the item provides is active whenever the Pokémon is in play.<br />

==In the anime==<br />
[[File:EP088.png|thumb|A pink Rhyhorn eating a Pinkan Berry]]<br />
In the anime, while several ordinary fruits from the real world have and continue to be featured, Berries have appeared on occasion as well, suggesting that the Berries are not the only fruit in the Pokémon world. Additionally, the Berries that have made an appearance in the games are not the only Berries featured. [[Pinkan Berry|Pinkan Berries]] appeared, central to the plot of ''[[EP088|In the Pink]]'', where they had the amazing property of changing a Pokémon's coloration completely to pink, and due to the rarity of strangely-colored Pokémon, only grew on an isolated island in the [[Orange Archipelago]] that was kept secret to prevent poachers from stealing Pokémon who lived there. A {{p|Snover}} was also shown to grow Berries on its body in ''[[DP121|The Lonely Snover!]]'', though they had no strange effects when consumed by humans or Pokémon. [[Rinka Berry|Rinka Berries]] were central to the plot in the [[Pikachu shorts|Pikachu short]] [[PK23]]. These Berries were said to clear one's throat and restore the consumer's voice.<br />

'''Berries''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|きのみ|Kinomi}}''' ''Berries'') are small, juicy, fleshy fruit. As in the real world, a large variety exists in the Pokémon world, with a large range of [[flavor]]s, names, and effects. First found in the [[Generation II]] games, many Berries have since become critical [[held item]]s in battle, where their various effects include HP and status ailment restoration, stat enhancement, and even damage negation.<br />
<br />
==In Generation II==<br />
[[File:GSC Berry Tree.png|frame|A Berry tree in Gold, Silver and Crystal]]<br />
In their introductory generation, Berries were somewhat hard to obtain, with a very limited amount of trees scattered across the Kanto and Johto regions, each giving out only one Berry of one of the ten types each day. Berries regenerated at midnight every day, and could be picked at any time. Wild Pokémon often held Berries, while several could be won as prizes in certain competitions. [[Apricorn]]s are seen by many as similar to these Berries, in regards to their maturity time, availability, and other aspects.<br />
<br />
===List of Berries===<br />
{{main|Berries (Generation II)}}<br />
The main Berry list from Generation II incorporated several functions of different healing items into the group of ten Berries. The names were simplistic, often describing only what the Berry itself did, with names like PRZCureBerry and PSNCureBerry standing out to many.<br />

==In Generation III==<br />
[[File:RSE Berry Tree.png|frame|{{ga|Brendan}} finding {{b|Oran}} and {{b|Pecha}} trees]]<br />
[[File:Berries.png|thumb|left|Oran and Pecha Berries artwork]]<br />
Much as other aspects of the Pokémon franchise received their most major updates in the transition from Generation II to Generation III, the Berry system was completely overhauled in [[Generation III]]. Each of the Berries introduced in Generation III was given a number, not unlike the [[Pokédex]] numbers given to Pokémon, with the first ten in this ordering system having identical or nearly-identical effects to the Berries of Generation II. Several more Berries, found at the end of the listing, are extremely rare, with effects similar to items like {{DL|Battle item|X Attack}}. A majority of Berries, however, find their only use in being made into [[Pokéblock]]s for {{pkmn|Contest}}s. In the same way most Pokémon resemble real-world animals, these Berries typically resemble real-world fruit (though not all fruit represented are Berries, botanically or in common parlance, in real life). Descriptive tags detail some of their traits, much like a Pokédex entry, which are often shared with their real-world counterparts.<br />
<br />
While in Generation II, all Berries would regenerate at midnight, with only one fruit available from each tree each day, Generation III elaborated the system, giving each Berry a specific growth time, ranging between four hours and four days, and four stages of maturity which would be reached at the quarter, halfway, and three-quarters point of the full maturity time. Additionally, Berries no longer grew only in a specific plant that was a permanent fixture in the landscape, but in plants that disappeared when the Berries were picked from them, leaving behind a patch of [[soft soil]] where another Berry could be planted.<br />
<br />
This [[soft soil]] only exists in [[Hoenn]], however, and is not present in the [[Kanto]] or [[Orre]] regions. Thus, in {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, Berries that the {{player}} obtains can be repeatedly grown in any patch of soft soil, but not in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. However, in FireRed and LeafGreen, many varieties of Berries can be repeatedly obtained in the [[Sevii Islands]]' [[Berry Forest]], where certain Berries regularly fall off trees and [[items#recurring items|regenerate themselves]].<br />
<br />
Beginning in this generation, Berries are typically grouped in "families". This is an unofficial term for a group of five Berries that have the same growth period and similar flavoring distributions (such as Razz, which is mostly spicy but somewhat dry, and Bluk, which is mostly dry but somewhat sweet).<br />
<br />
In {{game2|FireRed|LeafGreen|Emerald}}, Berries can be ground up into [[Berry Powder]], which can be exchanged for [[herbal medicine]] or [[vitamin]]s in [[Cerulean City]] or [[Slateport City]].<br />
<br />
In Pokémon Emerald, a further advancement came to the Berry system, though only slightly. Six Berries, previously only usable to make Pokéblocks, were given an additional use. The {{b|Pomeg}}, {{b|Kelpsy}}, {{b|Qualot}}, {{b|Hondew}}, {{b|Grepa}}, and [[Tamato Berry|Tamato Berries]], formerly useless outside of the Contest circuit, now became known by fans as "EV Berries", as they now lowered the [[effort values]] gained by a Pokémon in battle while raising its friendship.<br />
<br />
===List of Berries===<br />
The Generation III Berry list has its core in the first ten Berries in order, with the ones coming last in sequence being among the most rare and sought after for their in-battle effect. A majority of these Berries are used solely for Pokéblock making, falling between those with other effects in the listing.<br />

<br />
====e-Reader Berries====<br />
The following Berries exist only in the games if the specific [[e-Reader]] card is swiped while the e-Reader is linked to a Ruby or Sapphire game cartridge. These Berries cannot be traded to other Generation III games, and if held by a Pokémon sent to Generation IV through [[Pal Park]], it will become an [[Enigma Berry]] when the Pokémon is recaught. As the e-Reader's lifespan was much shorter than expected by Nintendo, only two series of these special Berry e-cards were released, [[Pokémon Battle e: Series 1|the first]] both in Japan and internationally, and [[Pokémon Battle e: Series 2|the second]] only in Japan.<br />

==In Generation IV==<br />
[[File:DPPt Berry Tree.png|frame|{{ga|Dawn}} poses with her {{b|Razz}} and {{b|Bluk}} trees]]<br />
Much like most other aspects of Generation III, Berries remained very much the same in Generation IV, with the main set of 43 carried over to the new games. The e-Reader Berries, perhaps due to their relative obscurity and exclusivity to Ruby and Sapphire (as the e-Reader was incompatible with the international releases of FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald), are not present in this generation, though {{gdis|Chilan Berry|III|one of them}} shares its name in all languages with one of the newly-introduced Berries.<br />
<br />
A total of 21 new Berries were introduced in Generation IV, with 16 of them weakening {{DL|Damage modification|super effective}} moves used on the holder, one for each type, and one weakening any {{type|Normal}} move used on the holder. The remaining four are exclusive to [[Event Pokémon|events]], being held by event Pokémon given out in conjunction with the first three {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} {{pkmn|movie}}s. This brings the total amount of Berries to 64.<br />
<br />
Several Berries' growth times were changed in Generation IV, most notably that of the [[Tamato Berry]], which formerly grew in the same amount of time as the others in its flavor group, now grows in the same amount of time as the rest of the EV Berries. Other Berries whose growth times changed remained with the same growth times as the rest of their flavor group. Many Berries also received edits to their tree styles, with different palettes used to give each tree a more unique appearance, rather than the similar appearance several, most notably {{b|Razz}} and {{b|Bluk}}, had.<br />
[[File:HGSS Berry Tree.png|frame|Miniature {{b|Wacan}} and {{b|Yache}} trees grow in the [[Berry Planter]]]]<br />
[[File:Berry Pot.png|thumb|left|120px|A Berry Pot with a {{b|Leppa}} tree growing inside.]]<br />
In addition to the base growth time changes, special [[mulch]] was introduced that could be spread over a patch of soft soil to alter the growth rate of Berry plants, allowing them to be tended to more easily by those with a busy schedule. This mulch is available only at the [[Berry Master]]'s house in [[Sinnoh]] or at the flower shop in [[Goldenrod City]] in [[Johto]].<br />
<br />
Like how Berries were most used in Generation III to make Pokéblocks, in Generation IV Berries are used to make [[Poffin]], which achieves a similar [[condition]]-enhancing effect. Aside from this, those which have no in-battle effect can be traded in for [[Accessory|Accessories]] to be used to dress up Pokémon for {{pkmn|Super Contest}}s and pictures.<br />
<br />
While in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, [[soft soil]] could be found in most places in [[Sinnoh]], much like in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, no soft soil exists in [[Johto]] or [[Kanto]], visited in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. The [[Berry Pots]], however, hold four portable patches of soft soil, allowing the player to carry their Berry trees with them ''anywhere''.<br />
<br />
===List of Berries===<br />
The Generation IV Berry list is exactly the same as the Generation III list, but with all Berries falling after {{b|Belue}} moved back 17 places, to accommodate the type-resistant Berries. The other four event Berries are added to the end, after the [[Enigma Berry]]. All Berries now have some in-battle or out-of-battle use, but can also be used to make [[Poffin]]s.<br />

==In Generation V==<br />
[[File:DW Garden.png|thumb|300px|right|{{p|Mew}} visiting the {{pkmn|Dream World}} Garden, where a blooming {{b|Sitrus}} tree can be spotted.]]<br />
<br />
Unlike most games since Ruby and Sapphire, when the mechanic of growing Berries was introduced, Black and White do not allow players to plant and grow Berries in [[Unova]]. Berries cannot be transferred from another region using the [[Poké Transfer]], but some wild Unova Pokémon (like {{p|Minccino}}) can be found holding them, and the player may obtain them as gifts from NPCs or Trainers (such as {{tc|Pokémon Ranger}}s), or purchase them from Florist shops at [[Join Avenue]] in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}.<br />
<br />
Players may plant Berries in the [[Pokémon Dream World]] using the garden found in the area to the left of their Dream World home. Berries will take 50% longer to grow in the Dream World compared to their growth rates in Generation IV. Two rows are available from the beginning for players to plant their Berries in, with each row containing spaces for three Berries. As the player accumulates Dream Points {{p|Diglett}} will show up to expand the garden by plowing a new row (starting with a third row added at 900 points), up to a maximum of ten rows.<br />
<br />
As with Generation IV, the Berry plots require watering or they will dry out; a player can water their own Berries as often as needed (any time the garden soil is not described as "very moist"), and when visiting another player's home may water their Berries as well (up to 20 times for each voyage to the Dream World). This process of growing Berries in concentrated patches makes growing and cultivating more efficient as a counterbalance to the slower growth rate. Berry plants never die and resprout in the Dream World—they remain in their fruit-bearing stage until the Berries are picked.<br />
<br />
Berries may be sold to an [[item maniac]] on {{rt|5|Unova}} for various amounts, depending on the kind of Berry. This is also the sole use for Berries that do not serve a purpose in battles.<br />
* Berries that can be sold for {{pdollar}}30000 include: {{b|Lansat}}, {{b|Starf}}, {{b|Enigma}}, {{b|Micle}}, {{b|Custap}}, {{b|Jaboca}}, and {{b|Rowap}}.<br />
* Berries that can be sold for {{pdollar}}500 include: {{b|Razz}}, {{b|Bluk}}, {{b|Nanab}}, {{b|Wepear}}, {{b|Pinap}}, {{b|Cornn}}, {{b|Magost}}, {{b|Rabuta}}, {{b|Nomel}}, {{b|Spelon}}, {{b|Pamtre}}, {{b|Watmel}}, {{b|Durin}}, and {{b|Belue}}.<br />
* Berries that can be sold for {{pdollar}}20 include any Berry not listed above.<br />
<br />
Within the Dream World, combinations of Berries can be traded for [[Décor]].<br />
<br />
If the [[bag]] is sorted, it uses the same order of Berries in Generation IV except that all Berries that do not serve a purpose are moved to the end of the list.<br />
<br />
==Proper care of Berry plants==<br />
After a Berry is planted in soft soil, a player can ignore it until it bears fruit, which will often yield more Berries than initially planted, as most Berry trees will bear more than one fruit at minimum. Truly effective care, however, requires that the player pay close attention to the growing times, watering it, and picking it when it bears fruit so as to reap the benefit.<br />
<br />
===In Generation III===<br />
In general, plants must be watered at least once per growth period in order to get the maximum yield. When a plant is fully-grown, the player has an amount of time equal to the full growth time of the plant to pick the Berry; otherwise the plant will return to its "sprouting" stage. This can be done up to 9 times (for a total of 10 plantings) before the plant is permanently lost.<br />
<br />
====Formula====<br />
[[File:Berry Math Formula.png|frame|right|Berry formula]]<br />
The formula that the games use to decide how many fruits a specific Berry tree will bear is to the right of the page. This formula is calculated as follows:<br />
*''a'' is the maximum number of Berries that can appear on the plant<br />
*''b'' is the minimum number of Berries that can appear on the plant<br />
*''c'' is a number randomly chosen between ''a'' and ''b'', inclusive<br />
*''d'' is the number of growth stages during which the plant was watered<br />
<br />
This formula is only used if the player has watered the plant ''at least once'' during its growth. If the plant is left to its own devices, it will ''always'' bear the minimum number of fruit.<br />
<br />
====Stages====<br />
After they are planted in soft soil, all Berries have four stages of growth, which they will assume after a quarter, half, and three quarters of their full growth time has passed since their planting. Specific messages are associated with specific growth times, and will be displayed if the player checks the plant.<br />

===In Generation IV===<br />
[[File:Dryberries.png|thumb|right|The Razz plant has very dry soil; it has not been watered since it sprouted. The Bluk plant has dry soil; it has not been watered since it was growing taller. The Nanab plant has just been watered.]]<br />
The mechanics of Berry growth was expanded in Generation IV, where it is no longer sufficient to water a plant in each stage of growth for some Berries (conversely, for some Berries it is sufficient to water every two stages of growth). This is due to a new moisture mechanic introduced in these games.<br />
<br />
Each plant has a moisture rating that ranges from 0 to 100. When a Berry is planted or watered, the moisture rating will be reset to 100. Every hour afterwards, the moisture rating is deducted by a value specific to the Berry that is planted; this value is increased by 50% with the {{DL|Mulch|Growth Mulch}} and decreased by 50% with the {{DL|Mulch|Damp Mulch}}. Should the moisture rating be 0 when this occurs, however, the maximum yield of the plant is decreased by 1 (to a minimum of 2). Players are given a visual indication of the moisture rating of the plant, as the soil will lighten once the moisture rating falls below 50, and will appear to be dry once the moisture rating is 0.<br />
<br />
As with Generation III, players have an amount of time equal to the full growth time of the Berry before a fully-grown plant returns to its "sprouting stage". This time is raised by 50% if the player uses {{DL|Mulch|Stable Mulch}}. The use of {{DL|Mulch|Gooey Mulch}} will allow a total of 14 resproutings (for a total of 15 plantings) instead of 9 before the plant is permanently lost.<br />

===In the PokéPark series===<br />
[[File:PokePark Berry.png|thumb|A Berry from [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]].]]<br />
In [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]], Berries are used as a form of currency to pay for Attractions or training. One can earn Berries by clearing Skill Games or by earning the Bonus in an Attraction. When found on the field, green Berries are worth 10, red Berries are worth 50, and golden Berries are worth 100. There also exists a Big Berry, which some Pokémon desire to eat. They will become friends with Pikachu if one is carried to them. One Pokémon that eats Big Berries is Munchlax.<br />
<br />
Berries return as a form of currency in [[PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond]], with minor changes. Attractions are now free, but now items can be bought and sold for Berries, and other Pokémon will give the player Berries upon befriending, often as a token for beating them in certain challenges. Pokémon can also be re-challenged after befriending them, and they will continue to give the player Berries provided the player continues to win. On the field, Green Berries are worth 1, Red Berries are worth 30, and Gold Berries are worth 100. Big Berries are replaced by [[Items in PokéPark 2#Stinkberry|Stinkberries]], which displease most Pokémon (including the one carrying it), but Munchlax loves them.<br />

<br />
==In the TCG==<br />
Berries were introduced in the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}} in the {{TCG|Neo Genesis}} expansion, released shortly after {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} themselves. All of them are Pokémon Tools, a special subclass of {{TCG|Trainer card}} that may be attached to a Pokémon in play, much in the same way that items can be held by Pokémon in the games. Most of the TCG Berries are in fact Berries from the games, however, several of them are unique to the TCG. <br />
<br />
There are also Basic Pokémon cards that have Berries as held items, which were introduced in the {{TCG|Mysterious Treasures}} expansion. These held items work in the same fashion as Poké-Bodies, in that the effect the item provides is active whenever the Pokémon is in play.<br />

==In the anime==<br />
[[File:EP088.png|thumb|A pink Rhyhorn eating a Pinkan Berry]]<br />
In the anime, while several ordinary fruits from the real world have and continue to be featured, Berries have appeared on occasion as well, suggesting that the Berries are not the only fruit in the Pokémon world. Additionally, the Berries that have made an appearance in the games are not the only Berries featured. [[Pinkan Berry|Pinkan Berries]] appeared, central to the plot of ''[[EP088|In the Pink]]'', where they had the amazing property of changing a Pokémon's coloration completely to pink, and due to the rarity of strangely-colored Pokémon, only grew on an isolated island in the [[Orange Archipelago]] that was kept secret to prevent poachers from stealing Pokémon who lived there. A {{p|Snover}} was also shown to grow Berries on its body in ''[[DP121|The Lonely Snover!]]'', though they had no strange effects when consumed by humans or Pokémon. [[Rinka Berry|Rinka Berries]] were central to the plot in the [[Pikachu shorts|Pikachu short]] [[PK23]]. These Berries were said to clear one's throat and restore the consumer's voice.<br />

'''Sitrus Berry''' (Japanese: '''オボンのみ''' ''Obon Fruit'') is a type of [[Berry]] introduced in [[Generation III]]. It is the spiritual successor of the [[Gold Berry]] from [[Generation II]], initially having an identical effect when used on or by a pokemon. The effect of the Sitrus Berry was later upgraded in [[Generation IV]] so that it restores 25% of the user's max HP.<br />

==Uses==<br />
===In-Battle===<br />
====Generation III====<br />
A Sitrus Berry, if held by a Pokémon, can restore 30 {{stat|HP}} when its HP drops to below ⅓, or can be used as an item to restore 30 HP at any time.<br />
<br />
====[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] series====<br />
A Sitrus Berry recovers all of the user's HP when used. Additionally, <!--in the first installment,-->if eaten when the user's HP is full, the user's maximum HP is increased by 2.<br />

====Generation V====<br />
When held by a Pokémon, a Sitrus Berry will restore ¼ of its {{stat|HP}} when its HP is below ½. It can also be used as an item to restore ¼ of a Pokémon's HP at any time. Due to a [[List of glitches in Generation V#Sitrus Berry glitch|glitch]] in {{game|Black and White|s}}, dropping below half HP by taking self-inflicted damage from {{status|confusion}} will not activate the Sitrus Berry.<br />

<br />
==Growth and harvest==<br />
===Generation III===<br />
A Leppa Berry will mature from a planted seed to a full-grown, fruit-bearing tree in 16 hours, with 4 hours per stage. A Leppa tree will yield 2-3 Berries.<br />
<br />
===Generation IV===<br />
A Leppa Berry will mature from a planted seed to a full-grown, fruit-bearing tree in 16 hours, with 4 hours per stage. A Leppa tree will yield 2-5 Berries.<br />
<br />
==Uses==<br />
===In-battle===<br />
A Leppa Berry, if held by a Pokémon, can restore 10 [[Power points|PP]] of the first move that drops to 0, or can be used as an item to restore 10 PP to any move.<br />
<br />
When used in conjunction with {{m|Natural Gift}}, a Leppa Berry will take on the {{t|Fighting}}-type with a power of 60.<br />
<br />
===Berry Blending===<br />
{{BerryBlender|Red|Purple|Purple}}<br />
<br />
===Berry Crushing===<br />
At 100% performance, this Berry will contribute 30 units of powder.<br />
<br />
===Poffin Cooking===<br />
At 100% performance, a Leppa Berry will produce at least a level 13 Spicy Poffin when cooking alone.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*The Leppa Berry is one of only two Berries which has a unique growth period: In Generation III it was the only Berry that grew in 16 hours, while it is joined in that group by the [[Oran Berry]] and [[Persim Berry]] in Generation IV. The only other Berry with a growth period unique to itself is the [[Lum Berry]].<br />
* When used as an item, its effect is identical to that of a regular [[Ether#Ether|Ether]].<br />
** This makes it the most attainable method of PP restoration, as it can easily be planted for more, (unlike [[Ether]]s which cannot be bought -- or planted) and is easily attainable by various methods such as finding them, using {{a|Pickup}}, the [[Pokéwalker]] which was only in HeartGold and SoulSilver, or via {{m|Rock Smash}} which again potentially yielded Ethers in HeartGold and SoulSilver. It is also the only method of PP restoration in link battles outside of the [[Wonder Launcher]].<br />

<br />
==In the anime==<br />
[[File:Berry Basket.png|200px|thumb|In the anime]]<br />
The Aspear Berry played a slightly important role in ''[[DP024|Cooking Up A Sweet Story]]''. During the episode, [[Abigail]]'s {{p|Pikachu}}, Sugar, was perfecting a way to use {{m|Thunderbolt}} on Aspear Berries so that they were tender enough to use in a cake.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*This Berry's {{m|Natural Gift}} type is ice; coincidentally, it also acts in the same way as an [[Ice Heal]] when used on a Pokémon.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon's]] [[Pokémon News (Mystery_Dungeon)#Rawst Berry's Effect|Pokémon News #44]], it mentions that an unripe Rawst Berry is colored green. The ripe ones are sky blue, but are bitter compared to the unripe ones.<br />
<br />
Ironically, Rawst Berries are always found on a wild [[Fire (type)|Fire-type]] Pokémon, despite the fact that Fire-type Pokémon are immune to [[Burn (status ailment)|burns]], and as such have no use for a burn-curing Berry themselves.<br />
