'''Fearow''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''オニドリル''' ''Onidrill'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Spearow}} starting at [[level]] 20.

==Biology==
Fearow is a large, mostly brown avian Pokémon with a vulturine neck and broad, powerful wings. It has a long, pointed, pink beak and a decorative red {{wp|Comb (anatomy)|coxcomb}} on top of its head. Its narrow eyes have very small pupils and do not appear to have colored irises. It has shaggy, feathers at the base of its neck and covering the upper portion of its wings. These feathers are cream-colored, as are the tips of its flight feathers. Its sharp-clawed talons are pink, with three toes pointing forward and one pointing backward.

Fearow has been around mostly unchanged for many years, as a Pokémon resembling it has been seen on ancient murals. Its large wings and stamina allow it to fly for an entire day without landing. Its long neck and beak allow it to pluck prey from both land and water, and it has even been known to steal from unwary humans. It will shoot upward, and then dive down to catch prey. It will also catch tiny insects that hide underground and circle the ocean for fish. Fearow are found naturally in open habitats with warmer climates, mainly {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|wastelands and desolate fields}}. Appears in the [[Regional Pokédex|regional Pokédexes]] of [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Kalos]] and [[Alola]].

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation IV]], Fearow weighs as much as {{ga|Lucas}}. It shares this characteristic with {{p|Skuntank}}, {{p|Togekiss}}, {{p|Sudowoodo}}, and {{p|Yanma}}.
* The English names of the {{p|Spearow}} family and {{p|Beedrill}} are almost reversed from the Japanese in that Beedrill is named Spear and Fearow, Spearow's evolution, is called Onidrill.

===Origin===
Fearow takes inspiration from many soaring, predatory birds. It has traits similar to raptors such as {{wp|hawk}}s and {{wp|vulture}}s, as well as similarities with {{wp|stork}}s. Its physical appearance may be vaguely based on a {{wp|cormorant}} or an {{wp|anhinga}}, despite the fact that they are water birds. It also shares characteristics with {{wp|chicken}}s and {{wp|snipe}}, most notably its {{wp|Comb (anatomy)|comb}} and long beak, respectively. Its coloration and size also resembles the {{wp|Goliath heron}}, whose feathers when ruffled look superficially like a comb.

====Name origin====
Fearow is a combination of ''fear'' and ''{{wp|sparrow}}''. It may also derive from ''feather'' or ''arrow''.

Onidrill is a combination of 鬼 ''oni'' (demon) and ''drill''. The first four syllables can be taken to mean 鬼鳥 ''onidori'' (demon bird).

'''Spearow''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''オニスズメ''' ''Onisuzume'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Fearow}} starting at [[level]] 20.

==Biology==
Spearow is an avian Pokémon that is very small. It has rough, brown plumage on its head and three brown tail feathers. It has narrow, dark brown eyes with white pupils and a short, hooked beak that is light pink. The feathers covering its wings are pinkish red with lighter tips, and it has a beige underside with two thin, horizontal stripes. Its light pink feet have two toes in front and one in the back. Black feathers cover its back.

Although inept at other aspects of its flying, such as height and distance, Spearow is still capable of flying quickly to protect its territory. However, it must flap its wings at high speeds to stay aloft. Spearow's loud shrieks can be heard over half a mile (one kilometer) away, and are used to warn other of its kind of danger. [[EP001|The anime]] has shown that Spearow sees in black and white and will chase its foes in a large flock. Spearow are found naturally in open habitats with warmer climates, mainly {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|desolate wastelands and fields}}, where it hunts for insects. Appears in the [[Regional Pokédex|regional Pokédexes]] of [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Kalos]] and [[Alola]]. {{p|Ekans}} is a natural predator of Spearow.

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
[[File:Spearow anime M20.png|250px|left|thumb|Spearow in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Ash's Fearow|Spearow (anime)]]=====
A large flock of Spearow debuted in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', where it attacked {{Ash}} after he hit {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Fearow|one particular Spearow}} on the head with a rock to weaken it (because {{AP|Pikachu}} refused to [[Obedience|obey]] and battle), thinking it was a {{p|Pidgey}}. The flock of Spearow returned with the leader, the very same Spearow that Ash had hit in the first episode, as a {{p|Fearow}} in ''[[EP081|Pallet Party Panic!]]''. The flock reappeared in flashbacks in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]'', ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]'', ''[[EP131|Fighting Flyer with Fire]]'', ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', and ''[[DP140|Historical Mystery Tour!]]''.

'''Raticate''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ラッタ''' ''Ratta'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Rattata}} starting at [[level]] 20.

In [[Alola]], Raticate has a {{2t|Dark|Normal}}-type [[regional form]]. In {{g|Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, it evolves from Alolan Rattata when leveled up at [[Time|night]] starting at level 20. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], it evolves from Alolan Rattata starting at [[level]] 20.

==Biology==
Raticate is a large rodent Pokémon. Although it is often depicted on its hind legs, it is a quadruped. It is mostly tawny colored with a cream underside. It has narrow black eyes, ears with ragged edges and dark insides, and large incisors that grow constantly. There are three whiskers on each side of its face, which it uses to maintain balance. It has short arms with three-fingered hands and webbed feet with three toes. The webbing on its feet allows it to swim. Its tail is long and scaly. A female will have shorter whiskers and lighter fur.

If attacked, Raticate stands up on its hind legs, bares its fangs and shrieks in an intimidating manner at its enemy. It is willing to take on larger foes if provoked enough. Its teeth are strong enough to gnaw through steel and their constant growth means it often needs to gnaw on something, like rocks and logs. It may even chew on the walls of houses, and is capable of chewing through cinderblocks and toppling concrete buildings. Its large incisors are also used for its former [[signature move]]s, {{m|Hyper Fang}} and {{m|Super Fang}}. This Pokémon typically lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|plains and savannas}}. Appears in the [[Regional Pokédex|regional Pokédexes]] of [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Kalos]] and [[Alola]], also appearing in the upgraded new regional Pokédex of [[Unova]] ([[Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]]).

In Alola, Raticate has become heavier and darker due to its urban environment and higher calorie diet.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/alolan-raticate/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Alolan Raticate]</ref> Its fur is mostly black with a brown, leaf-shaped patch on its belly and brown inside its ears. Its hands, feet, cheeks, and tail are a whitish-cream color, and its hands are much smaller. It has large, puffy cheeks with four whiskers under its chin and two sprouting sideways from the top of each cheek. Its large incisors are still visible, but its eyes are now red. This variant uses its nest as a food stockpile, and generally prefers to have the Alolan {{p|Rattata}} it commands collect food while it remains in its nest and eats. It is selective in what it eats, however, only eating fresh, high quality foods. Rumor has it that a certain high-class restaurant even exploits this selectivity, bringing Raticate along to buy ingredients and letting it taste test new dishes.

==Trivia==
* Raticate's [[catch rate]] was 90 in [[Generation I]] and {{Gen|II}}. This was changed to 127 in [[Generation III]].
* Raticate is the only Pokémon that shares its [[National Pokédex]] number with the level at which it evolves from its pre-evolution.
* Raticate and its {{p|Rattata|pre-evolution}} share their {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Raichu}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, and {{p|Sandslash}}. They are all known as the Mouse Pokémon.
** They all also have at least one family member with a [[regional form]] in Alola.
*Of all Totem Pokémon that can be battled in Alola, Totem Raticate is one of the only two Totem Pokémon that is battled in only one game out of the two versions - in this case, Moon and Ultra Moon. The other is {{p|Gumshoos|Totem Gumshoos}}.

===Origin===
Raticate most resembles a {{wp|muskrat}}, a semi-aquatic {{wp|rodent}}, due to the large teeth, whiskers, fur, and body shape. Its scruffy ears look like those of a {{wp|guinea pig}}. Its webbed feet may be inspired by the {{wp|coypu}}, a South American rodent.

Alolan Raticate may be based on the {{wp|Polynesian rat}}.

====Name origin====
Raticate seems to be a combination of ''{{wp|rat}}'' and ''eradicate'' (to destroy or exterminate) or ''masticate'' (to chew), relating to its mouth and teeth.

Ratta is likely derived from ''rat''.

'''Rattata''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''コラッタ''' ''Koratta'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Raticate}} starting at [[level]] 20.

In [[Alola]], Rattata has a {{2t|Dark|Normal}}-type [[regional form]]. In {{g|Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, it evolves into Alolan Raticate when leveled up at [[Time|night]] starting at level 20. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], it evolves into Alolan Raticate starting at [[level]] 20.

It is the only possible [[starter Pokémon]] in [[Pokémon Rumble]].

==Biology==
Rattata is a small, quadruped rodent Pokémon. It has purple fur with a cream-colored face, paws, and underbelly. It has narrow, red eyes, rounded ears with cream-colored insides, and a single whisker on each cheek. Its long tail is tightly curled at the end. Its most notable feature is its large teeth. Like most rodents, its teeth grow continuously throughout its life and must be worn down by gnawing. A female Rattata will have shorter whiskers and lighter fur.

Rattata can live wherever it can find food, which it searches for most of the day. Thanks to its sharp fangs, it is able to eat nearly anything. When it is threatened, Rattata can deliver a powerful bite. Its large teeth are also useful when using its former [[signature move]]s, {{m|Hyper Fang}} and {{m|Super Fang}}. {{p|Furret}} is the natural predator of the Rattatta. Its hardiness lets it live in many environments, although it mainly lives on {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|plains and savannas}}. Because it reproduces so quickly, a pair of Rattata can quickly colonize an area. Appears in the [[Regional Pokédex|regional Pokédexes]] of [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Kalos]] and [[Alola]], also appearing in the upgraded new regional Pokédex of [[Unova]] ([[Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]]).

Rattata are non-native to [[Alola]] and arrived in cargo ships. The Rattata population in Alola was booming until {{p|Yungoos}} was imported as a control measure. In order to avoid these new predators, Rattata altered its habits. It moved to more urban areas, became nocturnal, and formed large nests led by {{p|Raticate}}.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/alolan-rattata/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Alolan Rattata]</ref> Alolan Rattata searches out fresh food by smell and ignore anything spoiled. It has even been known to sneak into people's homes to find food. It has dark gray fur and grayish-purple ear insides. There are two tufts of fur on each ear and near the tip of its tail. Its long, thin whiskers are replaced by shorter, thicker tufts of fur as well. The line where its cream underbelly meets its gray fur is ragged instead of smooth. This variant of Rattata is the [[List of Pokémon by height|shortest]] {{type|Dark}}.

==Trivia==
* Alolan Rattata is the first {{type|Dark}} Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order.
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Rattata was originally known as ''Rattatak''.
* Rattata is notorious for being associated with the [[Appendix:F.E.A.R.|F.E.A.R.]] strategy.
* Rattata and its {{p|Raticate|evolution}} share their {{pkmn|category}} name with {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Raichu}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, and {{p|Sandslash}}. They are all known as the Mouse Pokémon.
** They also all have at least one family member with a [[regional form]] in Alola.
* Rattata has gained notoriety among the fanbase due to {{tc|Youngster}} [[Joey]] on {{rt|30|Johto}}, and his phone calls claiming his Rattata to be within the top percentage of the species.
* Rattata has the lowest base {{stat|HP}} of all {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.
** Alolan Rattata has the lowest base HP and {{stat|Special Attack}} of all {{type|Dark}} Pokémon.
* Alolan Rattata may be considered a counterpart of {{p|Yungoos}}. They can be caught at certain times of the day (Yungoos at day, Alolan Rattata at night). They also evolve into {{p|Gumshoos}} and Alolan {{p|Raticate}}, respectively, at level 20 at their respective times. Also, their evolved forms are the Totem Pokémon in their respective games (Gumshoos in {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Sun}} and {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun}}, Raticate in {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Moon}} and {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Moon}}).

===Origin===
Rattata is based on a {{wp|rat}}. The shape and position of its ears might be derived from the {{wp|Fancy rat#Body type|dumbo rat}}.

Alolan Rattata may be based on how Hawaiian rats tend to be more vicious than most other areas of the world, which would explain its {{t|Dark}} typing. Their regular attacks on sugar cane fields forced the locals to import the {{wp|Javan mongoose|small Asian mongoose}}, explaining the relationship between {{p|Yungoos}} and Rattata. However, the small Asian mongoose is diurnal while rats are nocturnal, thus the small Asian mongoose was ineffective at its intended role and became an {{wp|invasive species}}. This is reflected in-game by the fact that Yungoos can only be found during the day, while Alolan Rattata can only be found at night.

====Name origin====
Rattata may be a combination of ''rat'' and ''attack'', evident from its prototype name, ''Rattatak''.<ref>[http://www.reocities.com/Tokyo/Fuji/4362/019RATTATAK.JPG]</ref> It may also incorporate the onomatopoeic word ''rat-a-tat''.

Koratta is a combination of 子 ''ko'' (child) and ''Ratta'' ({{p|Raticate}}'s Japanese name), leaning toward the meaning "child Ratta." It may also be a combination of 小 ''ko'' (small) and ''rat''.

'''Rattata''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''コラッタ''' ''Koratta'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Raticate}} starting at [[level]] 20.

In [[Alola]], Rattata has a {{2t|Dark|Normal}}-type [[regional form]]. In {{g|Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, it evolves into Alolan Raticate when leveled up at [[Time|night]] starting at level 20. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], it evolves into Alolan Raticate starting at [[level]] 20.

It is the only possible [[starter Pokémon]] in [[Pokémon Rumble]].

==Biology==
Rattata is a small, quadruped rodent Pokémon. It has purple fur with a cream-colored face, paws, and underbelly. It has narrow, red eyes, rounded ears with cream-colored insides, and a single whisker on each cheek. Its long tail is tightly curled at the end. Its most notable feature is its large teeth. Like most rodents, its teeth grow continuously throughout its life and must be worn down by gnawing. A female Rattata will have shorter whiskers and lighter fur.

Rattata can live wherever it can find food, which it searches for most of the day. Thanks to its sharp fangs, it is able to eat nearly anything. When it is threatened, Rattata can deliver a powerful bite. Its large teeth are also useful when using its former [[signature move]]s, {{m|Hyper Fang}} and {{m|Super Fang}}. {{p|Furret}} is the natural predator of the Rattatta. Its hardiness lets it live in many environments, although it mainly lives on {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|plains and savannas}}. Because it reproduces so quickly, a pair of Rattata can quickly colonize an area. Appears in the [[Regional Pokédex|regional Pokédexes]] of [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Kalos]] and [[Alola]], also appearing in the [[New Unova Dex|upgraded]] new regional Pokédex of [[Unova]] ([[Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]]).

Rattata are non-native to [[Alola]] and arrived in cargo ships. The Rattata population in Alola was booming until {{p|Yungoos}} was imported as a control measure. In order to avoid these new predators, Rattata altered its habits. It moved to more urban areas, became nocturnal, and formed large nests led by {{p|Raticate}}.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/alolan-rattata/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Alolan Rattata]</ref> Alolan Rattata searches out fresh food by smell and ignore anything spoiled. It has even been known to sneak into people's homes to find food. It has dark gray fur and grayish-purple ear insides. There are two tufts of fur on each ear and near the tip of its tail. Its long, thin whiskers are replaced by shorter, thicker tufts of fur as well. The line where its cream underbelly meets its gray fur is ragged instead of smooth. This variant of Rattata is the [[List of Pokémon by height|shortest]] {{type|Dark}}.

==Trivia==
* Alolan Rattata is the first {{type|Dark}} Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order.
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Rattata was originally known as ''Rattatak''.
* Rattata is notorious for being associated with the [[Appendix:F.E.A.R.|F.E.A.R.]] strategy.
* Rattata and its {{p|Raticate|evolution}} share their {{pkmn|category}} name with {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Raichu}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, and {{p|Sandslash}}. They are all known as the Mouse Pokémon.
** They also all have at least one family member with a [[regional form]] in Alola.
* Rattata has gained notoriety among the fanbase due to {{tc|Youngster}} [[Joey]] on {{rt|30|Johto}}, and his phone calls claiming his Rattata to be within the top percentage of the species.
* Rattata has the lowest base {{stat|HP}} of all {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.
** Alolan Rattata has the lowest base HP and {{stat|Special Attack}} of all {{type|Dark}} Pokémon.
* Alolan Rattata may be considered a counterpart of {{p|Yungoos}}. They can be caught at certain times of the day (Yungoos at day, Alolan Rattata at night). They also evolve into {{p|Gumshoos}} and Alolan {{p|Raticate}}, respectively, at level 20 at their respective times. Also, their evolved forms are the Totem Pokémon in their respective games (Gumshoos in {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Sun}} and {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun}}, Raticate in {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Moon}} and {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Moon}}).

===Origin===
Rattata is based on a {{wp|rat}}. The shape and position of its ears might be derived from the {{wp|Fancy rat#Body type|dumbo rat}}.

Alolan Rattata may be based on how Hawaiian rats tend to be more vicious than most other areas of the world, which would explain its {{t|Dark}} typing. Their regular attacks on sugar cane fields forced the locals to import the {{wp|Javan mongoose|small Asian mongoose}}, explaining the relationship between {{p|Yungoos}} and Rattata. However, the small Asian mongoose is diurnal while rats are nocturnal, thus the small Asian mongoose was ineffective at its intended role and became an {{wp|invasive species}}. This is reflected in-game by the fact that Yungoos can only be found during the day, while Alolan Rattata can only be found at night.

====Name origin====
Rattata may be a combination of ''rat'' and ''attack'', evident from its prototype name, ''Rattatak''.<ref>[http://www.reocities.com/Tokyo/Fuji/4362/019RATTATAK.JPG]</ref> It may also incorporate the onomatopoeic word ''rat-a-tat''.

Koratta is a combination of 子 ''ko'' (child) and ''Ratta'' ({{p|Raticate}}'s Japanese name), leaning toward the meaning "child Ratta." It may also be a combination of 小 ''ko'' (small) and ''rat''.

'''Pidgeot''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ピジョット''' ''Pigeot'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pidgeotto}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Pidgey}}. It can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Pidgeot''' using the [[Pidgeotite]].

==Biology==
Pidgeot is an avian Pokémon with large wings, sharp talons, and a short, hooked beak. Its glossy {{wp|plumage}} is mostly brown with cream-colored underparts and flight feathers. Its head has a decorated crest that is nearly as long as its body. The center feathers of its crest are yellow, while the outer feathers are red. The fan-like feathers of its tail are red or brown. Its beak and legs are pink, and there three forward-facing toes and one backward-facing toe on each foot. Behind each eye is an angular black marking.

Pidgeot grows noticeably when it Mega Evolves developing a larger body and longer, broader wings. Its wingtips and tail feathers are tipped with blue, and its cream coloring is now white. Its eyes turn red and its pupils turn white. Mega Pidgeot has an even more elaborate crest on its head, with a streamer-like red plume extending from a mane of yellow feathers.

==Trivia==
* Pidgeot is depicted with red and yellow tail feathers in its official [[Generation I]] artwork, while the [[Generation III]] artwork depicts red ones only. This discrepancy is expressed in numerous ways in Pidgeot's in-game sprites and {{pkmn|anime}} depictions.
* When rebattling Gym Leaders in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, both [[Falkner]] and {{ga|Blue}} have a Pidgeot as their highest-leveled Pokémon.
** Coincidentally, Falkner is the first [[Gym Leader]] while Blue is the last.
* Mega Pidgeot is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 579.
* Mega Pidgeot is tied with {{p|Drampa}} and {{p|Porygon-Z}} for the highest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of all {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
Despite its name, Pidgeot's appearance and behavior do not resemble a {{wp|pigeon}} so much as that of a {{wp|bird of prey}}, especially an {{wp|osprey}} or an {{wp|Aquila (genus)|eagle}}. In particular, its {{Shiny}} coloration resembles a {{wp|golden eagle}}. Its eye markings strongly resemble the Sun and Sky gods of {{wp|Egyptian mythology}}, {{wp|Ra}} and {{wp|Horus}}.

====Name origin====
Pidgeot and Pigeot are combinations of ''{{wp|Columbidae|pigeon}}'' and ''jet'' (referring to its great speeds).

'''Pidgeotto''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ピジョン''' ''Pigeon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pidgey}} starting at [[level]] 18 and evolves into {{p|Pidgeot}} starting at level 36.

==Biology==
Pidgeotto is a raptor-like avian Pokémon. It is covered with brown feathers, and has a cream-colored face, underside, and flight feathers. It has a crest of pinkish-red feathers on its head and black, angular markings behind its eyes. The plumage of its tail has alternating red and yellow feathers with ragged tips. Its beak and legs are pink. Two of its toes point forward, while one points backward. Additionally, it has powerful, sharp talons that it uses to grasp prey.

Pidgeotto is a powerful flier capable of carrying prey several miles to its nest. It has amazing vision, which helps it locate preferred prey Pokémon such as {{p|Exeggcute}} and {{p|Magikarp}}. [[EP003|The anime]] has also shown it preying on {{p|Caterpie}}. Pidgeotto claims a sprawling territory of more than 60 miles (100 kilometers), which it defends fiercely. Its nest is usually in the center of its territory and it circles its territory throughout the day, looking out for food and intruders. It is most often found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|temperate forests}}. Appears in the [[Regional Pokédex|regional Pokédexes]] of [[Kanto]], [[Johto]] and [[Kalos]]. {{m|Gust}} and {{m|Feather Dance}} are its former [[signature move]]s.

===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Pidgeotto]]====
{{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} a Pidgeotto in ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]'', which also marked the species' debut. Since then, it played a role as one of Ash's main Pokémon. It participated in the [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}s against {{TRT}}, {{an|Brock}}, and {{an|Misty}}, and was frequently used for breaking Team Rocket's {{p|Meowth}}-shaped balloon. However, it was the only one of Ash's Pokémon at the time, save some of his numerous {{AP|Tauros}}, that did not participate in the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]]. It eventually evolved into {{p|Pidgeot}} and left Ash's party to guard other {{p|Pidgey}} and Pidgeotto.

==Trivia==
* Pidgeotto is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 349.
* Pidgeotto's [[Pokémon Red and Green beta#Localization-specific information|early English name]] was the same as its evolved form {{p|Pidgeot}}.

===Origin===
Despite its name, Pidgeotto's design appears to be less inspired by a {{wp|pigeon}} and more by an {{wp|osprey}} or other {{wp|bird of prey}}.

====Name origin====
Pidgeotto may be a combination of the corruptions of ''{{wp|Columbidae|pigeon}}'' and ''[[wiktionary:diciotto|diciotto]]'', which is Italian for 18, the level {{p|Pidgey}} evolves into Pidgeotto. Its name may also refer to {{wp|Otto Lilienthal}}, a pioneer of unpowered heavier-than-air flight.

Pigeon is literally ''pigeon''.

'''Pidgey''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ポッポ''' ''Poppo'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Pidgeotto}} starting at [[level]] 18, which evolves into {{p|Pidgeot}} starting at [[level]] 36.

==Biology==
Pidgey is a small, plump-bodied avian Pokémon. It is primarily brown with a cream-colored face, underside, and flight feathers. On top of its head is a short crest of three tufts. The center crest feathers are brown and the outer two tufts are cream-colored. Just under its crest are its narrow, brown eyes. Angular black marking extend from behind its eyes down its cheeks. It has a short, stubby beak and feet with two toes in front and one in back. Both its beak and feet are a grayish-pink. It has a short, brown tail made of three feathers.

Pidgey has an extremely sharp sense of direction and homing instincts. It can locate its nest even when far removed from familiar surroundings. It is a docile Pokémon, and generally prefers to flee from its enemies rather than fight them. By flapping its wings rapidly, it can whip up dust clouds and create whirlwinds to protect itself and flush out potential prey. {{m|Gust}} and {{m|Feather Dance}} are its former [[signature move]]s. Pidgey is very common throughout its range and can often be seen in meadows and {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|temperate forests}}. Appears in the [[Regional Pokédex|regional Pokédexes]] of [[Kanto]], [[Johto]] and [[Kalos]]. {{p|Ekans}} is a natural predator of Pidgey.

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Pidgey was originally going to be named ''Pidge''.
* Pidgey shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Spearow}}, {{p|Natu}}, and {{p|Rookidee}}. They are all known as the Tiny Bird Pokémon, though Natu has also been called the Little Bird Pokémon.
* Pidgey is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 251.
* In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Pidgey is erroneously depicted with four talons on each foot, as opposed to three.
* Pidgey has the shortest [[cry]] of any Pokémon, being only 0.181 of a second long.

===Origin===
Despite its name, Pidgey more closely resembles a {{wp|Old World sparrow|sparrow}}, a {{wp|cedar waxwing}}, or a {{wp|Carolina wren}} than a {{wp|Columbidae|pigeon}}. However, there have been some references to Pidgey Mail, alluding to {{wp|homing pigeon}}s. Its {{pkmn|category}}, "tiny bird", added to the sound of the end of its name, could suggest that Pidgey is also based on a {{wp|chickadee}}. However, it and its evolved forms seem to have more traits related to {{wp|osprey}}s than pigeons or chickadees.

====Name origin====
Pidgey may be a corruption of ''{{wp|pigeon}}'' or a combination of ''{{wp|Budgerigar|budgie}}'' (a type of bird), ''{{wp|chickadee}}'' (a type of bird), or ''pudgy'' (referring to its plump physique).

Poppo may be derived from the onomatopoeia of the sound a pigeon makes: ポッポッポ ''poppoppo''.

'''Beedrill''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''スピアー''' ''Spear'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Kakuna}} starting at [[level]] 10. It is the final form of {{p|Weedle}}. It can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Beedrill''' using the [[Beedrillite]].

==Biology==
Beedrill mostly resembles a bipedal, yellow wasp; however, it only has four legs instead of six and lacks {{wp|Simple eye in invertebrates|pigment pits}}. Beedrill's head is round with a slightly pointed mouth, large, red eyes, and black antennae with a sharp bend in the middle. Its forelegs are tipped with long, conical stingers. It stands on its other two legs, which are long, segmented, and insectoid in shape. Beedrill has two pairs of rounded, veined wings, and another stinger on its yellow-and-black striped abdomen.

As Mega Beedrill, its gains more defined features. The antennae are shorter and T-shaped. Its eyes become longer and sleeker. It now has three pairs of wings; the uppermost pair is larger with a black trim along the top. Its stingers become longer and larger, resembling javelins. Additional conical, black-and-yellow stingers with white tips take the place of its legs. Its abdomen becomes larger, grooved and is attached to its thorax by a black structure. A similar black structure connects its head and thorax. The stinger on its abdomen is now a pale yellow, and it now has black stripes over its entire body. Fast-acting poison is stored in the stingers on its limbs, while the tail stinger produces a slow-acting poison that is used to finish opponents. The instantaneous poisons are instead used to prevent the foe from fleeing.<ref name= "Mega">[https://web.archive.org/web/20141016185128/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com:80/en-us/pokemon/new-mega-evolutions/mega-beedrill Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire site | Mega Beedrill (archived)]</ref>

Beedrill is highly territorial and normally lives in colonies. As seen in [[EP004|the anime]], Beedrill seems to be especially concerned with the welfare of {{p|Weedle}} and {{p|Kakuna}} and it will respond aggressively to those that disturb them. Disturbing a swarm of Beedrill will cause the whole colony to attack. It flies at high speed and attacks using the large venomous stingers on its forelegs and abdomen. The two stingers on its forelimbs allow it to use its former [[signature move]], {{m|Twineedle}}. It will take the victims of its attacks back to its nest for food. Beedrill nests in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|temperate forests}} and misty wooded areas. Appears in the [[Regional Pokédex|regional Pokédexes]] of [[Kanto]], [[Johto]] and [[Kalos]].

==Trivia==
* Beedrill's English name was [[Pokémon Red and Green beta#Pokémon names|originally]] going to be spelled ''Beedril''.
* Beedrill can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Butterfree}}. Both of their unevolved stages evolve into their respective first evolutionary stages at level 7, which then evolve into their respective final forms at level 10. They both also go through metamorphosis-like evolution and share a base stat total of 395. Also, while Beedrill is a version exclusive of Black and Black 2, Butterfree is exclusive to White and White 2.
* In [[Pokémon Conquest]], Beedrill is the only Pokémon that is featured without its evolutionary relatives.
* [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Beedrill was designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/548085137955508224 ありがひとし/HitoshiAriga on Twitter]</ref>
* Mega Beedrill has the highest {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Speed}} base stats of all {{type|Poison}} Pokémon. It also has the lowest {{stat|Special Attack}} base stat of all Poison-type and Mega Evolved Pokémon, the lowest {{stat|Defense}} of all Mega Evolved Pokémon, and the lowest single base stat of any Mega Evolved Pokémon.
** Mega Beedrill is the only Mega Evolved Pokémon whose base Special Attack is lower than that of its base form.

===Origin===
Beedrill's design appears to simply be a stylized {{wp|bee}} or {{wp|wasp}}. However, it has a much closer resemblance to an {{wp|Asian giant hornet}}.

====Name origin====
Beedrill is a combination of ''{{wp|bee}}'' and ''{{wp|drill}}'' (indicating its needle-like arms).

Spear is literally ''spear'', referring to its stingers. In addition, the reverse of スピアー is アピス ''Apis'' (the genus for the {{wp|honey bee}}).

'''Kakuna''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''コクーン''' ''Cocoon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Weedle}} starting at [[level]] 7 and evolves into {{p|Beedrill}} starting at level 10.

==Biology==
Kakuna is a yellow, cocoon-like Pokémon. Kakuna has a dome-shaped head and black, triangular eyes. It has two scythe-like arms in the middle of its body. When it comes close to evolving, its body gives off heat that makes it warm to the touch. Kakuna remains virtually immobile and waits for evolution often hanging from tree branches by long strands of silk. When attacked, however, it can extend its poison barbs. Kakuna nests in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|temperate forests}} and misty wooded areas. Occasionally, it will also nest at the mouths of tunnels and caves, as seen in [[Pokémon Snap]]. Appears in the [[Regional Pokédex|regional Pokédexes]] of [[Kanto]], [[Johto]] and [[Kalos]].

==Trivia==
[[File:Bandai Kakuna card.jpg|thumb|Kakuna's arms extended in [[Ken Sugimori]] artwork|100px]]
* Kakuna shares its {{pkmn|category}} name with {{p|Metapod}}, {{p|Silcoon}}, and {{p|Cascoon}}. They are all known as the Cocoon Pokémon.
** They also share the same base stat total, learnset, [[Ability]], and EV yield.
*** This ties them as the evolved Pokémon with the lowest base stat total.
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], "Kokoon" was the prototype English name for Kakuna. This is the same as its romanized Japanese name.
* The "arms" on Kakuna seen in its {{2v2|Red|Blue}} sprite are commonly mistaken to be a sprite error, as they are rarely shown in any other media. They have so far only been shown on its Red and Blue sprite and a Pocket Monsters Bandai card.
* Kakuna has the lowest base {{stat|Attack}} of all {{type|Poison}} Pokémon.


===Origin===
Kakuna's design appears to be based on the {{wp|Honey bee life cycle|pupa stage}} of a {{wp|bee}} (more specifically, the common honeybee pupa) or {{wp|wasp}}.

Kakuna's characteristic of dangling from a thread, as seen in the {{pkmn|anime}} and some [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off games]], may be based on hanging {{wp|Ichneumonoidea|parasitoid wasp}} cocoons.

====Name origin====
Kakuna is a corruption of ''{{wp|Pupa|cocoon}}''.

Cocoon is literally ''cocoon''.

'''Weedle''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ビードル''' ''Beedle'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Kakuna}} starting at [[level]] 7, which evolves into {{p|Beedrill}} starting at level 10.

==Biology==
Weedle is a larval Pokémon with a segmented body ranging in color from yellow to reddish-brown. Each segment of its body is a sphere. It has a bulbous red nose on its face and two spherical feet on each body segment. The combination of red and yellow coloration creates a bright warning to predators that it is poisonous. Weedle has a conical, two-inch (five centimeter) venomous stinger on its head and a barbed one on its tail. Weedle can retaliate against attackers and those who step on it with its strong toxin. It can distinguish its favorite kinds of leaves using its acute sense of smell. As a young Bug Pokémon, its daily appetite for leaves matches its weight. Weedle can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|temperate forests}} and usually hides in grass, bushes, and under the leaves it eats. This Pokémon appears in the [[Regional Pokédex|regional Pokédexes]] of [[Kanto]], [[Johto]] and [[Kalos]].

==Trivia==
[[File:Kokana.png|thumb|100px|Weedle's early design, Kokana]]
* Weedle has the lowest base stat total of all {{type|Poison}} Pokémon.
** Weedle is tied with {{p|Magikarp}}, {{p|Carvanha}}, {{p|Igglybuff}}, {{p|Caterpie}}, and {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Attack Forme}} {{p|Deoxys}} for having the lowest Special Defense stat of all Pokémon.
** Weedle is tied with {{p|Gastly}} for having the lowest base {{stat|Defense}} of all Poison-type Pokémon, as well as being tied with {{p|Ledyba}} for having the lowest base Defense of all Bug-type Pokémon.
* Until {{game|Platinum}}, Weedle was completely incapable of dealing damage to {{type|Steel}} Pokémon—outside of {{m|Struggle}}—because it could only learn {{m|Poison Sting}}, to which Steel types are immune. From Platinum onward, Weedle can learn {{m|Bug Bite}}.
* An {{DL|List of unused Pokémon and character designs|Kokana|early design}} of Weedle's sprite was shown on Game Freak's official Japanese website.
* Prior to Generation VI, Weedle's body style was [[File:Body02.png]].
* Weedle was [[List of references to Pokémon in popular culture|the inspiration for the naming]] of ''Stentorceps weedlei'', a species of wasps. Both Weedle and ''Stentorceps weedlei'' exhibit the distinctive feature of having a spine in the middle of the organism's head.<ref name="Real-life taxonomic influence">[http://www.waspweb.org/Cynipoidea/Figitidae/Eucoilinae/Stentorceps/Stentorceps_weedlei.htm ''Stentorceps weedlei'' Nielsen & Buffington]</ref>
* Weedle is the only Pokémon that cannot legitimately know any {{type|Normal}} moves.

===Origin===
Weedle appears to be based on the {{wp|larva}} of a {{wp|wasp}} or {{wp|hornet}}. Weedle's red nose and legs also resemble spots that appear on the larvae of some species of wasp or hornet.

====Name origin====
Weedle may be a combination of ''{{wp|worm}}'' and ''needle'', referring to the stingers on its body. It may also be a corruption of ''{{wp|weevil}}'', another sort of bug.

Beedle is a combination of ''{{wp|bee}}'' and ''needle''.

'''Beedrill''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''スピアー''' ''Spear'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Kakuna}} starting at [[level]] 10. It is the final form of {{p|Weedle}}. It can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Beedrill''' using the [[Beedrillite]].

==Biology==
Beedrill mostly resembles a bipedal, yellow wasp; however, it only has four legs instead of six and lacks {{wp|Simple eye in invertebrates|pigment pits}}. Beedrill's head is round with a slightly pointed mouth, large, red eyes, and black antennae with a sharp bend in the middle. Its forelegs are tipped with long, conical stingers. It stands on its other two legs, which are long, segmented, and insectoid in shape. Beedrill has two pairs of rounded, veined wings, and another stinger on its yellow-and-black striped abdomen.

As Mega Beedrill, its gains more defined features. The antennae are shorter and T-shaped. Its eyes become longer and sleeker. It now has three pairs of wings; the uppermost pair is larger with a black trim along the top. Its stingers become longer and larger, resembling javelins. Additional conical, black-and-yellow stingers with white tips take the place of its legs. Its abdomen becomes larger, grooved and is attached to its thorax by a black structure. A similar black structure connects its head and thorax. The stinger on its abdomen is now a pale yellow, and it now has black stripes over its entire body. Fast-acting poison is stored in the stingers on its limbs, while the tail stinger produces a slow-acting poison that is used to finish opponents. The instantaneous poisons are instead used to prevent the foe from fleeing.<ref name= "Mega">[https://web.archive.org/web/20141016185128/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com:80/en-us/pokemon/new-mega-evolutions/mega-beedrill Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire site | Mega Beedrill (archived)]</ref>

Beedrill is highly territorial and normally lives in colonies. As seen in [[EP004|the anime]], Beedrill seems to be especially concerned with the welfare of {{p|Weedle}} and {{p|Kakuna}} and it will respond aggressively to those that disturb them. Disturbing a swarm of Beedrill will cause the whole colony to attack. It flies at high speed and attacks using the large venomous stingers on its forelegs and abdomen. The two stingers on its forelimbs allow it to use its former [[signature move]], {{m|Twineedle}}. It will take the victims of its attacks back to its nest for food. Beedrill nests in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|temperate forests}} and misty wooded areas. Appears in the [[Regional Pokédex|regional Pokédexes]] of [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]].

==Trivia==
* Beedrill's English name was [[Pokémon Red and Green beta#Pokémon names|originally]] going to be spelled ''Beedril''.
* Beedrill can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Butterfree}}. Both of their unevolved stages evolve into their respective first evolutionary stages at level 7, which then evolve into their respective final forms at level 10. They both also go through metamorphosis-like evolution and share a base stat total of 395. Also, while Beedrill is a version exclusive of Black and Black 2, Butterfree is exclusive to White and White 2.
* In [[Pokémon Conquest]], Beedrill is the only Pokémon that is featured without its evolutionary relatives.
* [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Beedrill was designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/548085137955508224 ありがひとし/HitoshiAriga on Twitter]</ref>
* Mega Beedrill has the highest {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Speed}} base stats of all {{type|Poison}} Pokémon. It also has the lowest {{stat|Special Attack}} base stat of all Poison-type and Mega Evolved Pokémon, the lowest {{stat|Defense}} of all Mega Evolved Pokémon, and the lowest single base stat of any Mega Evolved Pokémon.
** Mega Beedrill is the only Mega Evolved Pokémon whose base Special Attack is lower than that of its base form.

===Origin===
Beedrill's design appears to simply be a stylized {{wp|bee}} or {{wp|wasp}}. However, it has a much closer resemblance to an {{wp|Asian giant hornet}}.

====Name origin====
Beedrill is a combination of ''{{wp|bee}}'' and ''{{wp|drill}}'' (indicating its needle-like arms).

Spear is literally ''spear'', referring to its stingers. In addition, the reverse of スピアー is アピス ''Apis'' (the genus for the {{wp|honey bee}}).

'''Kakuna''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''コクーン''' ''Cocoon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Weedle}} starting at [[level]] 7 and evolves into {{p|Beedrill}} starting at level 10.

==Biology==
Kakuna is a yellow, cocoon-like Pokémon. Kakuna has a dome-shaped head and black, triangular eyes. It has two scythe-like arms in the middle of its body. When it comes close to evolving, its body gives off heat that makes it warm to the touch. Kakuna remains virtually immobile and waits for evolution often hanging from tree branches by long strands of silk. When attacked, however, it can extend its poison barbs. Kakuna nests in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|temperate forests}} and misty wooded areas. Occasionally, it will also nest at the mouths of tunnels and caves, as seen in [[Pokémon Snap]]. Appears in the [[Regional Pokédex|regional Pokédexes]] of [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]].

==Trivia==
[[File:Bandai Kakuna card.jpg|thumb|Kakuna's arms extended in [[Ken Sugimori]] artwork|100px]]
* Kakuna shares its {{pkmn|category}} name with {{p|Metapod}}, {{p|Silcoon}}, and {{p|Cascoon}}. They are all known as the Cocoon Pokémon.
** They also share the same base stat total, learnset, [[Ability]], and EV yield.
*** This ties them as the evolved Pokémon with the lowest base stat total.
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], "Kokoon" was the prototype English name for Kakuna. This is the same as its romanized Japanese name.
* The "arms" on Kakuna seen in its {{2v2|Red|Blue}} sprite are commonly mistaken to be a sprite error, as they are rarely shown in any other media. They have so far only been shown on its Red and Blue sprite and a Pocket Monsters Bandai card.
* Kakuna has the lowest base {{stat|Attack}} of all {{type|Poison}} Pokémon.


===Origin===
Kakuna's design appears to be based on the {{wp|Honey bee life cycle|pupa stage}} of a {{wp|bee}} (more specifically, the common honeybee pupa) or {{wp|wasp}}.

Kakuna's characteristic of dangling from a thread, as seen in the {{pkmn|anime}} and some [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off games]], may be based on hanging {{wp|Ichneumonoidea|parasitoid wasp}} cocoons.

====Name origin====
Kakuna is a corruption of ''{{wp|Pupa|cocoon}}''.

Cocoon is literally ''cocoon''.

'''Weedle''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ビードル''' ''Beedle'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Kakuna}} starting at [[level]] 7, which evolves into {{p|Beedrill}} starting at level 10.

==Biology==
Weedle is a larval Pokémon with a segmented body ranging in color from yellow to reddish-brown. Each segment of its body is a sphere. It has a bulbous red nose on its face and two spherical feet on each body segment. The combination of red and yellow coloration creates a bright warning to predators that it is poisonous. Weedle has a conical, two-inch (five centimeter) venomous stinger on its head and a barbed one on its tail. Weedle can retaliate against attackers and those who step on it with its strong toxin. It can distinguish its favorite kinds of leaves using its acute sense of smell. As a young Bug Pokémon, its daily appetite for leaves matches its weight. Weedle can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|temperate forests}} and usually hides in grass, bushes, and under the leaves it eats. This Pokémon appears in the [[Regional Pokédex|regional Pokédexes]] of [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]].

==Trivia==
[[File:Kokana.png|thumb|100px|Weedle's early design, Kokana]]
* Weedle has the lowest base stat total of all {{type|Poison}} Pokémon.
** Weedle is tied with {{p|Magikarp}}, {{p|Carvanha}}, {{p|Igglybuff}}, {{p|Caterpie}}, and {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Attack Forme}} {{p|Deoxys}} for having the lowest Special Defense stat of all Pokémon.
** Weedle is tied with {{p|Gastly}} for having the lowest base {{stat|Defense}} of all Poison-type Pokémon, as well as being tied with {{p|Ledyba}} for having the lowest base Defense of all Bug-type Pokémon.
* Until {{game|Platinum}}, Weedle was completely incapable of dealing damage to {{type|Steel}} Pokémon—outside of {{m|Struggle}}—because it could only learn {{m|Poison Sting}}, to which Steel types are immune. From Platinum onward, Weedle can learn {{m|Bug Bite}}.
* An {{DL|List of unused Pokémon and character designs|Kokana|early design}} of Weedle's sprite was shown on Game Freak's official Japanese website.
* Prior to Generation VI, Weedle's body style was [[File:Body02.png]].
* Weedle was [[List of references to Pokémon in popular culture|the inspiration for the naming]] of ''Stentorceps weedlei'', a species of wasps. Both Weedle and ''Stentorceps weedlei'' exhibit the distinctive feature of having a spine in the middle of the organism's head.<ref name="Real-life taxonomic influence">[http://www.waspweb.org/Cynipoidea/Figitidae/Eucoilinae/Stentorceps/Stentorceps_weedlei.htm ''Stentorceps weedlei'' Nielsen & Buffington]</ref>
* Weedle is the only Pokémon that cannot legitimately know any {{type|Normal}} moves.

===Origin===
Weedle appears to be based on the {{wp|larva}} of a {{wp|wasp}} or {{wp|hornet}}. Weedle's red nose and legs also resemble spots that appear on the larvae of some species of wasp or hornet.

====Name origin====
Weedle may be a combination of ''{{wp|worm}}'' and ''needle'', referring to the stingers on its body. It may also be a corruption of ''{{wp|weevil}}'', another sort of bug.

Beedle is a combination of ''{{wp|bee}}'' and ''needle''.

'''Butterfree''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''バタフリー''' ''Butterfree'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Metapod}} starting at [[level]] 10. It is the final form of {{p|Caterpie}}. It also has a [[Gigantamax]] form.

==Biology==
Butterfree resembles a vaguely anthropomorphic butterfly with a purple body. Unlike true insects, it only has two body segments and four light blue legs. The upper pair of legs resembles small, three-fingered hands, while the lower pair resembles long, digit-less feet. Butterfree has two black antennae, a light blue snout with two fangs underneath, and large, red compound eyes. Its two pairs of wings are white with black {{wp|Insect wing#Venation|venation}}. Two oval scales on a female Butterfree's lower wings are black, but they are white on a male.

As Gigantamax Butterfree, its size increases to gigantic length with altered look. The wings and its pattern changes to light and dark green color with white. The antennae changes to bright green and extends to the point the tip bends with three red clouds surrounding it. The eyes changes to bright glowing red. A Fur like circle is attach to both the wings and back of Butterfree. Several green scales can be seen floating around Butterfree. Gigantamax Butterfree's scales are its most effect weapons, capable of releasing paralysis, poisoning, or sleep through its wings. The massive wings are powerful enough to lift a 10-ton truck through a simple flap. The wind it generates can scattered poisonous scales throughout the area, making it dangerous to be near it.<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/gigantamax-butterfree/</ref>

Butterfree's wings are covered with poisonous powders that fall off continuously as it flies. It will defend {{p|Caterpie}} from bird Pokémon using this powder. This powder also repels water, enabling it to gather honey even in the rain. Butterfree will roam up to six miles (ten kilometers) from its nest in search of honey, which it carries with the hairs of its legs. Sometimes it has territorial disputes with {{p|Cutiefly}} over fields of flowers. It also consumes sap from trees pierced by {{p|Heracross}}, as seen in [[EP119|the anime]]. Butterfree is found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|temperate forests and jungles}}, but it has also [[EP021|been observed]] flying near the ocean as part of its migratory breeding pattern. This Pokémon appears in the [[Regional Pokédex|regional Pokédexes]] of [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Kalos]], [[Alola]] and [[Galar]].

Gigantamax Butterfree is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the exclusive [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Befuddle}}.

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
[[File:Ash Butterfree M20.png|250px|thumb|left|Butterfree in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
[[File:Orange Islands Butterfree.png|thumb|250px|An {{DL|List of alternately colored Pokémon in the anime|Orange Archipelago Butterfree}} in the anime]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Ash's Butterfree]]=====
{{Ash}} had a Butterfree that he {{pkmn2|caught}} as a {{p|Caterpie}}, the first Pokémon he ever caught. It evolved from {{p|Metapod}} in ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]''. Butterfree was also the first Pokémon Ash [[released Pokémon|let go]], allowing it to mate with a [[pink Butterfree]] in ''[[EP021|Bye-Bye Butterfree]]''.

Butterfree also appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', which is set in a different continuity from the main series. It evolved from Metapod during a {{pkmn|battle}} against a group of {{p|Primeape}}.

=====[[Pink Butterfree]]=====
A pink Butterfree appeared in ''[[EP021|Bye-Bye Butterfree]]''. Ash's Butterfree fell in love with it and fought to save it from Team Rocket. At the end of the episode, Ash released his Butterfree to mate with the pink Butterfree. The pink Butterfree reappeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', which is set in a timeline different from the main series.

=====Other=====
Multiple {{pkmn2|wild}} Butterfree appeared in ''[[EP021|Bye-Bye Butterfree]]'', where they engaged in a mating ceremony that Ash's Butterfree took a part of.

A Butterfree [[nickname]]d Happy debuted in ''[[EP078|A Friend in Deed]]'', under the ownership of [[Ritchie]]. It was used to help Ritchie get out of {{TRT}}'s runaway truck safely. It reappeared in ''[[EP079|Friend and Foe Alike]]'' and ''[[EP080|Friends to the End]]'', where it was used during Ritchie's battles in the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]].

An {{DL|List of alternately colored Pokémon in the anime|Orange Archipelago Butterfree|Orange Archipelago variant}} of Butterfree living on [[Valencia Island]] appeared in ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]''. It had not eaten for days despite [[Professor Ivy]]'s effort to make different kinds of food for it. It took a liking to {{an|Brock}}'s food, however, and was one of the reasons he stayed behind. It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[EP115|A Tent Situation]]''.

A Butterfree appeared in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'', under the ownership of {{OBP|Lisa|M03}}. It was used in a battle against Ash and went up against his {{AP|Bulbasaur}}. The match ended with Bulbasaur being dazed with {{m|Sleep Powder}} and finished off with a gust of wind.

A {{pkmn2|giant}} Butterfree appeared in ''[[AG142|Caterpie's Big Dilemma]]'', under the ownership of [[Zander]]. After {{TRT}} kidnapped Dr. Gordon and flew away on [[Jessie's Dustox]], it evolved from a Metapod to chase Team Rocket. Butterfree shrunk back to its normal size at the end of the episode.

A Butterfree appeared in ''[[AG151|Weekend Warrior]]'', under the ownership of {{OBP|Jeremy|AG151}}. He used it in the [[Appeal|Appeals Round]] of the {{ka|Silver Town}} [[Pokémon Contest]].

A Butterfree appeared in ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing]]'', under the ownership of [[Drew]]. He used it during his [[Double Battle|two-on-two]] [[Contest Battle]] against {{an|May}}. Butterfree battled alongside {{p|Roselia}} against {{TP|May|Combusken}} and {{TP|May|Beautifly}} and managed to win.

Multiple Butterfree appeared in ''[[BW130|Butterfree and Me!]]'', where they evolved from Metapod on [[Wayfarer Island]]. One Butterfree had been befriended by Ash as a Caterpie, and Ash spent much of the episode helping it eventually evolve into its final form.

Multiple wild Butterfree appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', where, much like the events of ''Bye-Bye Butterfree'', they engaged in a mating ceremony that {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}}'s Butterfree took a part of.

==Trivia==

* Butterfree was the first Pokémon shown in the {{pkmn|anime}} to have an alternate color, [[Pink Butterfree|pink]]. This has only been seen in a single female, and unlike a {{Shiny}} Butterfree, which has green eyes and pink wings, limbs, and snout, this Butterfree only differed in its pink body and wings.
* Butterfree has been trained by four important {{pkmn|Trainer}}s in the {{pkmn|anime}}: {{Ash}}, [[Ritchie]], [[Solidad]], and [[Drew]].
* Butterfree shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Beautifly}}. They are both known as the Butterfly Pokémon.
* Butterfree can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Beedrill}}. Both of their unevolved stages evolve at level 7 and again at level 10. They both go through metamorphosis-like evolution and have the same base stat total of 395. Also, while Beedrill is [[Game-exclusive Pokémon|exclusive]] to {{game3|Black and White|Black|s}} and [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Black 2]], Butterfree is exclusive to White and White 2.

===Origin===
Butterfree's design appears to be based on the {{wp|Aporia crataegi|black-veined white}} {{wp|butterfly}}.

[[Gigantamax]] Butterfree resembles the ''{{wp|kaiju}}'' {{wp|Mothra}}.

====Name origin====
Butterfree is a combination of ''{{wp|butterfly}}'' and ''free'', possibly referring to its ability to fly after being grounded for two evolutionary stages. It may also involve パタパタ ''patapata'' (onomatopoeia for something flapping, such as wings) and 振る ''furu'' (to flap, as in wings).

'''Metapod''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''トランセル''' ''Transel'') is a {{type|Bug}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Caterpie}} starting at [[level]] 7 and evolves into {{p|Butterfree}} starting at level 10.

==Biology==
Metapod is a Pokémon that resembles a green {{wp|chrysalis}}. Its body is crescent-shaped with several segments making up the lower point. The front of its shell resembles a face with heavy-lidded eyes and a sharply pointed nose. The back of its shell consists of several geometrically shaped portions and projections. Its soft body is protected by a hard outer shell while it undergoes {{wp|metamorphosis}}. While this shell is said to be as hard as steel, a sudden, powerful impact could cause its liquid innards to pop out, leaving it completely exposed. Metapod generally remains motionless, rebuilding its cells for evolution. If an enemy discovers Metapod, it is unable to do anything other than harden its outer shell. Metapod lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|temperate forests and jungles}}. This Pokémon appears in the [[Regional Pokédex|regional Pokédexes]] of [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Kalos]], [[Alola]] and [[Galar]].

==In the anime==
===In the [[Pokémon anime|main series]]===
[[File:Ash Metapod M20.png|thumb|left|250px|Metapod in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
[[File:Metapod evolution anime.png|thumb|200px|Metapod's original evolution method in the anime]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Ash's Metapod]]=====
{{Ash}} had a Metapod that he {{pkmn2|caught}} as a {{p|Caterpie}} and evolved in ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]'', thus also marking the species' debut. It eventually evolved into {{p|Butterfree}} in ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]'', following an attack by a horde of {{p|Beedrill}}.

Metapod also appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', which is set in a different continuity from the main series. It evolved from Caterpie during a {{pkmn|battle}} against {{p|Pinsir}} and later evolved into Butterfree after a battle against {{p|Primeape}}.

=====Other=====
A Metapod appeared in ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]'', under the ownership of [[Samurai]]. It battled Ash's own Metapod, but because both Metapod only knew {{m|Harden}}, the battle went on for hours until a swarm of {{p|Beedrill}} forced the battle to end.

A Metapod appeared in ''[[EP144|Gettin' The Bugs Out]]'', under the ownership of [[Bugsy]]. He used it during his [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} against Ash. Metapod battled {{AP|Chikorita}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} before being defeated by the latter's {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Unlike most Metapod, this one was actually able to fight back by using {{m|Tackle}}. Multiple other Metapod were also seen inside the [[Azalea Gym]] in the same episode.

A Metapod appeared in ''[[AG142|Caterpie's Big Dilemma]]'', under the ownership of [[Zander]]. It became {{pkmn2|giant}} after eating some enhanced [[Rare Candy|Rare Candies]]. Zander's Caterpie knocked down part of a radio tower in order to make a place for it to evolve into Metapod. It later evolved again to become a Butterfree.

Multiple Metapod appeared in ''[[BW130|Butterfree and Me!]]'', where they evolved into Butterfree on [[Wayfarer Island]]. One Metapod had been befriended by Ash as a Caterpie, and Ash helped it eventually evolve into Butterfree.

====Minor appearances====
Multiple Metapod appeared in ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]'', where Ash and [[Sam]] witnessed them as they were evolving into Butterfree.

A Metapod appeared in ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]''.

A Metapod made a brief cameo appearance in ''[[EP097|Tracey Gets Bugged]]'' as one of the Bug-type Pokémon on [[Murcott Island]].

A {{pkmn2|wild}} Metapod appeared in ''[[PK04|Pikachu's Rescue Adventure]]''.

A Metapod appeared in ''[[EP121|Illusion Confusion!]]'' as one of the illusions created by a group of {{p|Haunter}} and {{p|Gengar}}.

A Metapod appeared in ''[[DP064|Riding the Winds of Change!]]''.

A Metapod appeared in ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]''.

A Metapod appeared in ''[[SM008|Lillie's Egg-xhilarating Challenge!]]'', where it was among the Pokémon playing in {{an|Lillie}}'s garden. It appeared again in ''[[SM030|The Ol' Raise and Switch!]]''.

A Trainer's Metapod appeared in ''[[SM086|I Choose Paradise!]]'', where it was among the Pokémon seen at the [[Pokémon Paradise Resort]].

Two Trainers' Metapod appeared in ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', where they joined the rest of [[Alola]] in showering {{DL|Light trio (anime)|Necrozma}} with light so it could return to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|true form}}.

A Metapod appeared in ''[[SM129|Battle Royal 151!]]'', where it was among the Pokémon watching {{an|Bewear}} and {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Stufful}} put on a performance in their hot springs.

==Trivia==
* Metapod shares its {{pkmn|category}} name with {{p|Kakuna}}, {{p|Silcoon}}, and {{p|Cascoon}}. They are all known as the Cocoon Pokémon.
** They also share the same base stat total, learnset, [[Ability]], and EV yield.
*** This ties them as the evolved Pokémon with the lowest base stat total.
* Metapod is the first Pokémon to evolve in [[M04|a movie]], and part of the first evolution cycle in [[EP003|an episode]].
* Until the release of {{game|Platinum}}, when its pre-evolution became able to learn {{m|Bug Bite}}, Metapod was unable to damage {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon except by using {{m|Struggle}}. It shared this trait with {{p|Caterpie}}.
** Due to this, it was impossible to complete a [[Generation I]] game using only Caterpie or Metapod since Struggle could not hit Ghost types at the time.
* Metapod is usually depicted with white sclerae, such as in the games, trading cards, and promotional illustrations, but it has yellow sclerae in the anime.
* In the anime episode ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]'', the process of Metapod's evolution was similar to a real life butterfly emerging from its cocoon. In [[AG142|later]] [[BW130|episodes]], however, Metapod is shown to evolve like any other Pokémon.
* {{wp|Ume Aoki}}, a Japanese cartoonist famous for her work on the manga ''Hidamari Sketch'' and as the character designer for the anime ''Puella Magi Madoka Magica'', utilizes a likeness of herself cosplaying as a Metapod to represent herself in her works.
* In the Space World '97 [[Super Game Boy]] demo version of Pokémon Gold, Metapod has a unique orange sprite that is exclusive to the demo.
* In the [[Gym Pokémon (TCG)|Gym Pokémon]] card set, Metapod has an alternate color scheme of gray instead of green.

===Origin===
Metapod appears to be based on an amalgamation of {{wp|butterfly}} chrysalises, resembling the general shape of a {{wp|Papilio polyxenes|black swallowtail}} chrysalis (or possibly a {{wp|Pieris brassicae|large white}}) with a large nose-like protrusion and side protrusions resembling a {{wp|Battus polydamas|polydamas swallowtail}} or {{wp|Battus philenor|pipevine swallowtail}} chrysalis.

====Name origin====
Metapod is a combination of ''{{wp|metamorphosis}}'' and ''pod'' (referring to its {{wp|Pupa|chrysalis}} state).

Transel may be a combination of ''transform'' and ''{{wp|cell}}'' or ''shell''.

'''Caterpie''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キャタピー ''' ''Caterpie'') is a {{type|Bug}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Metapod}} starting at [[level]] 7, which evolves into {{p|Butterfree}} starting at level 10.

==Biology==
[[File:Caterpie emitting stench.png|thumb|left|250px|Caterpie emitting a terrible stench]]
Caterpie is a Pokémon that resembles a green caterpillar with a yellow underside and teardrop-shaped tail. There are yellow ring-shaped markings down the sides of its segmented body, which resemble its eyes and are meant to scare off predators. Its most notable characteristic is the bright red antenna ({{wp|osmeterium}}) on its head, which releases a stench to repel predators. Despite these features and its camouflage in green foliage, Caterpie is often preyed upon by {{type|Flying}} Pokémon. Its four tiny feet are tipped with suction cups, permitting this Pokémon to scale most surfaces with minimal effort.

Caterpie is easy to capture and grows quickly, making it ideal for new {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. It will shed its skin many times before finally cocooning itself in thick silk. It can also spit this silk in order to entangle foes as seen in [[EP003|the anime]]. It has a voracious appetite, which drives it to eat a hundred leaves a day. It will even eat leaves bigger than itself. According to [[PS054|Pokémon Adventures]], its favorite food is the Vermilion flower. Caterpie lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|temperate forests and jungles}}. This Pokémon appears in the [[Regional Pokédex|regional Pokédexes]] of [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Kalos]], [[Alola]] and [[Galar]].

==In the anime==

Caterpie debuted in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', where {{Ash}} encountered it in [[Viridian Forest]]. He {{pkmn2|caught}} it in ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]'', making Caterpie the first Pokémon he caught in the {{pkmn2|wild}}. It evolved into Metapod in the same episode after a {{pkmn|battle}} with {{TRT}}, and then into Butterfree during [[EP004|the following episode]].

Caterpie also appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', which is set in a different continuity from the main series. It evolved into Metapod during a battle against {{p|Pinsir}} and later into Butterfree after a battle against {{p|Primeape}}.

==In the manga==
[[File:Kitty Caterpie.png|thumb|200px|Caterpie in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
{{main|Ash's Caterpie}}
{{Ash}}'s Caterpie is the second [[wild Pokémon]] that Ash {{pkmn2|caught|catches}}, being caught in ''[[ET01|Pikachu, I See You!]]''. It evolves twice in ''[[ET02|Play Misty For Me]]''—first into {{p|Metapod}} while Ash is showing off his Pokémon to {{an|Misty}}, and then into {{p|Butterfree}} during his [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} against Misty.

Caterpie then followed Yellow to {{rt|9|Kanto}}, where she and {{adv|Blue}} were {{pkmn|training}}. It took Yellow a whole day to properly {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} this Caterpie with a {{i|Poké Ball}}, but once she prevailed, Yellow welcomed Caterpie to her team and called it "Kitty". It then became one of Yellow's most useful Pokémon, whose string was commonly used to make floaters. However, in the {{pkmn|battle}} against [[Lance]], Yellow did not have a [[Pokédex]], which she needed to stop her Pokémon from evolving. As a result, Kitty evolved into {{p|Metapod}} and then into {{p|Butterfree}} right afterwards.

==Trivia==
* Caterpie was both the first Pokémon to be captured and the first Pokémon to [[Evolution|evolve]] in the {{pkmn|anime}}.
* Caterpie shares its {{pkmn|category}} name with {{p|Wurmple}}. They are both known as the Worm Pokémon.
* Until the release of {{game|Platinum}}, when it became able to learn {{m|Bug Bite}}, Caterpie was unable to do anything to a {{t|Ghost}} type except {{m|Struggle|struggling}} and {{m|String Shot|lowering its Speed}}. It shares this trait with its evolution, {{p|Metapod}}. This is also true for {{p|Weedle}}, and its evolution, {{p|Kakuna}}, against {{t|Steel}} types before {{game|Platinum}} was released.
** Due to this, it was impossible to complete a [[Generation I]] game using only Caterpie or Metapod, since Struggle couldn't hit Ghost types at the time.
* In the anime and in Pokémon Adventures, Caterpie holds the record as the Pokémon who takes the least time to evolve twice, taking only [[BW130|one episode]] in the anime and [[PS89|one chapter]] in Pokémon Adventures.
** [[Polibo|Poliwag]] and [[Togebo|Togepi]] also share this record, but in Pokémon Adventures only.
* Prior to Generation VI, Caterpie's body style was [[File:Body02.png]].
* In ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]'', when Caterpie evolves into Metapod, the process was similar to a real caterpillar going into pupation. [[AG142|Later]] [[BW130|episodes]] show Caterpie evolving like the rest of the Pokémon do.
* Caterpie is tied with {{p|Weedle}}, {{p|Magikarp}}, {{p|Igglybuff}}, {{p|Carvanha}}, {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Attack Forme}} {{p|Deoxys}}, and {{p|Stonjourner}} for having the lowest Special Defense stat of all Pokémon.

===Origin===
Caterpie is a stylized {{wp|caterpillar}}, most resembling an {{wp|Papilio xuthus|Asian swallowtail}}. Its "antenna" is an {{wp|osmeterium}}, an organ unique to swallowtail caterpillars which, like Caterpie, they use to emit a foul odor. The tip of Caterpie's tail resembles the horn at the rear end of most species of {{wp|Sphingidae|hawk moth}} larvae.

====Name origin====
Caterpie is a corruption of ''{{wp|caterpillar}}''.

== Your edits ==

In regards to your latest series of edits, there are a couple of things for you to learn:

#The plural form for any Pokémon species is the same as its singular form. For example, "Spearow" is both singular and plural.
#Never use the <nowiki>{{p}}</nowiki> template for a non-Pokémon article like [[evolutionary stone]].

== Pokemon sharing habitats ==

I don't think Pokémon sharing similar habitats (due to being based off similar animals) is worth noting, as it is very obvious that would be the case.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 07:13, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

I'm basing a lot more on game locations (the core series) and regional pokedex than real animals. What happens is that coincidences occur. The only climate criterion I'm using is the regions in which Pokémon are found. For example: Sinnoh is located on the northern boundaries of the world where the temperature is cooler and Hoenn have a warmer climate than other regions, similar to an equatorial climate.[[User:Ralph Martin]] 12:31, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

== Your edits ==

In regards to your latest series of edits, there are a couple of things for you to learn:

#The plural form for any Pokémon species is the same as its singular form. For example, "Spearow" is both singular and plural.
#Never use the <nowiki>{{p}}</nowiki> template for a non-Pokémon article like [[evolutionary stone]].

== Pokemon sharing habitats ==

I don't think Pokémon sharing similar habitats (due to being based off similar animals) is worth noting, as it is very obvious that would be the case.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 07:13, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

I'm relying a lot more on game locations and regional pokedex than real animals. What happens is that coincidences occur. The only climate criterion I'm using is the regions in which Pokémon are found.

'''Lanturn''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ランターン''' ''Lantern'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Chinchou}} starting at [[level]] 27.

==Biology==
Lanturn is a blue Pokémon that resembles an {{wp|anglerfish}}. It has big, red eyes with a yellow mask-like marking around them and small, light blue {{wp|fish fin|pectoral fins}}. The lower half of its tailfin is yellow and has jagged edges. On its back is a Y-shaped antenna with a spherical orb at each tip; this antenna is a modification of its dorsal fin. Inside its orbs are bacteria that produce light by absorbing Lanturn's bodily fluids. It lures prey using the glow, then blinds them by using an intense flash before it swallows them whole. The flash it creates is visible on the surface from a depth of over three miles (five kilometers). This has earned it the nickname "The Deep-Sea Star". Lanturn inhabits the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon|deep sea}}.

==In the anime==
===Major appearances===
[[File:Ambrette Aquarium Lanturn.png|thumb|left|250px|Lanturn in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Lanturn debuted in ''[[EP220|The Mystery is History]]'', under the ownership of [[Oliver]]. He often uses it to swim on water. He also used it to play with a baby {{p|Lugia}} [[nickname]]d {{OBP|Silver|Johto}}, which it befriended. It has since made further appearances in ''[[EP221|A Parent Trapped!]]'' and ''[[EP222|A Promise is a Promise]]''.

==Trivia==
* Lanturn has the highest base {{stat|HP}} of all {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.
* Lanturn shares the same {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Ampharos}}. They are both known as the Light Pokémon.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Chinchou and Lanturn}}
It is based on an {{wp|anglerfish}}, more specifically the {{wp|footballfish}}, although it shares some similarities with {{wp|dolphins}}. It is also possible that Lanturn's origin contains a small piece of the {{wp|Hellenistic}} god, {{wp|Apollo}}. He was the god of light and his animal was the dolphin.

====Name origin====
Lanturn is a corruption of ''{{wp|lantern}}''. It may also be a combination of ''lantern'' and ''turn'' (as in "turn on the light").

Lantern is literally ''lantern''.

'''Mamoswine''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マンムー''' ''Mammoo'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ice|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Piloswine}} when [[level]]ed up while knowing {{m|Ancient Power}}. It is the final form of {{p|Swinub}}.

==Biology==
Mamoswine resembles a wooly mammoth crossed with a boar. Its brown fur is very thick to endure harsh cold and protect from snow and ice. Its tusks, which are smaller on a female Mamoswine than on a male, are made of pure, solid ice. Mamoswine has a blue mask-like pattern with a white rim around its face, resembling ski goggles. The fur on its muzzle is tan and shaggy, and its nose resembles that of a pig. Mamoswine's feet are black with three thick toes, and its tail is small. It can endure harsh cold and hunger for an almost indefinite amount of time, as indicated by a ten-thousand-year-old specimen reviving. Mamoswine lived all around the world during the last {{wp|ice age}}, but its population thinned when the climate grew warmer. Mamoswine, alongside its pre-evolved forms [[Swinub]] and [[Piloswine]], inhabited cold places, such as mountainous regions and frozen tundra.

Since then, Mamoswine became a reliable partner and was used in many [[Contest Battle]]s.

==Trivia==
* Mamoswine's {{game3|Diamond and Pearl|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl|s}}, {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|SoulSilver|s}}, {{game3|Black 2 and White 2|Black 2, White 2|s}} and {{pkmn|X and Y|Y}} Pokédex entries are a reference to how {{wp|woolly mammoth}}s became extinct.
* Mamoswine would have been obtainable in both [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]] if it had existed, as {{p|Piloswine}} could learn {{m|Ancient Power}} in both generations. It shares this trait with {{p|Lickilicky}}.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Mamoswine and its pre-evolutions, {{p|Swinub}} and {{p|Piloswine}}.
** Mamoswine and its pre-evolutions are also the only Pokémon weak to the types of all three [[starter Pokémon]].

===Origin===
Mamoswine appears to be based on a combination of a {{wp|woolly mammoth}} and a {{wp|wild boar}}. The blue around its eyes also resembles ski goggles.

====Name origin====
Mamoswine is a combination of ''mammoth'' and ''swine''.

Mammoo may be a combination of ''mammoth'' and ぶうぶう ''būbū'' ({{wp|onomatopoeia}} for oinking).

'''Yanmega''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メガヤンマ''' ''Megayanma'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Yanma}} when [[level]]ed up while knowing {{m|Ancient Power}}.

==Biology==
Yanmega is a large, dark green dragonfly Pokémon. Its large eyes are red with black lines that make a sideways "T" shape in each one. It has two large, white fangs or mandibles next to its small mouth. Its immense jaw power allows it to bite apart foes while flying by at high speed. Each of Yanmega's segments have a red spot on them, while the last tail segment has a black triangular plate. It has two similar plates on the back of its thorax and a third on its head. It has four white, oval wings with red tips, and there are two smaller white wings on the end of its tail. Yanmega can create shock waves by beating its wings. These shock waves are so powerful, they may inflict critical injuries on the foe. These wings are powerful enough to carry an adult human. Yanmega also has six thin, black legs. Yanmega is very rare in the wild, though it can be found in wooded and swampy areas alongside its pre-evolved form [[Yanma]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Keanan Yanmega.png|thumb|left|250px|Yanmega in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Jessie's Yanmega]]====
[[Jessie]] has a female Yanmega that debuted in ''[[DP080|The Thief That Keeps on Thieving!]]'', which also served as the species' main series debut. After {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} her as a {{p|Yanma}}, Jessie used her in a {{pkmn|battle}} against {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, where she evolved into Yanmega in the same episode. Yanmega was then used in several [[Pokémon Contest]]s before Jessie left her at the {{an|Team Rocket HQ}} when she headed to [[Unova]], so she would not attract attention by using a Pokémon foreign to the [[region]].

====Other====
Multiple Yanmega appeared in flashbacks in ''[[XY055|A Slippery Encounter!]]'', ''[[XY056|One for the Goomy!]]'', and ''[[XY061|An Oasis of Hope!]]''. They later physically appeared in ''[[XY069|Defending the Homeland!]]'' and ''[[XY070|Beyond the Rainbow!]]''. They are the minions of a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{an|Florges}}, who had ordered them to attack [[Ash's Goodra]]'s homeland in a flashback. They were then used again to attack Goodra itself. Two reappeared in ''[[XY139|Facing the Needs of the Many!]]'' and [[XY140|the following episode]].

===Minor appearances===
Yanmega debuted in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''.

A Yanmega appeared in ''[[M12|Arceus and The Jewel of Life]]''.

A Yanmega appeared in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'', under the ownership of [[Merilyn]]. It was mostly used as her means of transportation.

===In the movie adaptations===
A Yanmega under [[Merilyn]]'s ownership appeared in ''{{ma|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction}}''.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{tc|Commander}} [[Mars]] owns a Yanmega. In ''[[PS394|Yikes, Yanmega! II]]'', it was ordered through a floating speaker-camera device to summon a swarm of Yanmega to infiltrate [[Professor Rowan]]'s lab. The swarm dispersed after {{adv|Diamond}} had [[Tru]] destroy the device with its improvised {{m|Razor Leaf}}. In the {{chap|Platinum}}, Mars' Yanmega faced [[Cheryl]]'s {{p|Blissey}}.

Multiple Yanmega appeared in ''[[PS392|Well Met, Weepinbell]]'', ''[[PS393|Yikes, Yanmega! I]]'', and ''Yikes, Yanmega! II''.

==Trivia==
* Despite having significantly higher Special Attack than Attack, Yanmega gives out 2 Attack [[effort value]]s when defeated.
* Two generations after Yanmega's debut, [[Mega Pokémon]] were introduced. These Pokémon have the word "mega" in front of their names, similar to Yanmega's name in Japan.

===Origin===
It is, as its name suggests, based on the ''{{wp|Meganeura|Meganeura monyi}}'', a particularly large, prehistoric species of {{wp|Odonata|dragonflies and damselflies}}. Its species name suggests it's based on a {{wp|Green Darner|green darner}}.

====Name origin====
Yanmega and Megayanma are a combination of 蜻蜓 ''yanma'' (large dragonfly) and ''{{wp|Meganeura}}'' (a genus commonly referred to as "griffinflies", consisting of gigantic prehistoric versions of modern dragonflies/damselflies). Megayanma may also literally be "''mega yanma''".

'''Tangrowth''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''モジャンボ''' ''Mojumbo'') is a {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Tangela}} when [[level]]ed up while knowing {{m|Ancient Power}}.

==Biology==
Tangrowth is a large Pokémon with a black body wrapped in blue vines. The vines are used to entangle foes and prey. A pair of saucer-like eyes peeks out from beneath the tangled mess of vines. However, these eyes may be hidden in warm seasons due to how profusely the vines grow. Its stubby black feet are tipped with red. Tangrowth has a pair of blue boneless arms that have three fingers. These fingers are completely red on a female Tangrowth, while they have red tips on a male. Tangrowth is unfazed if one of its arms is broken off, as it will easily grow back. Tangrowth is very rare in the wild, though can be found in temperate grasslands alongside its pre-evolved form [[Tangela]].

==In the anime==

===Major appearances===
Tangrowth made its main series debut in ''[[DP134|Promoting Healthy Tangrowth!]]'', where it was trying to save a dying tree that was a key part of the forest. With the help of {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, it was able to save the tree.

A Tangrowth appeared in ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'', under the ownership of {{OBP|Tammy|M13}}; it helps her at her flower shop. Tangrowth later worked alongside {{OBP|Joe|M13}}'s {{p|Mightyena}} to stop {{OBP|Zorua|M13}} from escaping when they spotted it.

===Minor appearances===
Tangrowth debuted in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', where it had a minor role.

A Tangrowth briefly appeared in ''[[DP185|Working on a Right Move!]]'', under the ownership of a {{pkmn|Trainer}} competing in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]. It was shown defeating another Trainer's {{p|Hippowdon}}.

A Tangrowth appeared in {{OBP|Mewtwo|Best Wishes series}}'s flashback in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.

==In the manga==
[[File:Jupiter Tangrowth Adventures.png|thumb|130px|Tangrowth in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Phantom Thief Pokémon 7 manga===
[[Hiori]] has a Tangrowth who debuted in ''[[P7-03|Challenge From A Rival]]''. Its vines can be used as ropes to lower Hiori and others down from roofs. It can also use {{m|Sleep Powder}} to help Hiori get by guards.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In ''[[PS396|Getting Past Gastrodon]]'', [[Jupiter]] attacked {{adv|Platinum}}, [[Candice]], and [[Maylene]] using her Tangrowth, {{p|Sableye}}, and {{p|Gastrodon}} when they arrived in [[Lake Acuity]]. Most notably, it faced off against Candice's {{p|Abomasnow}}, and was able to overpower and defeat it using a {{type|Fire}}d {{m|Natural Gift}}. In subsequent appearances, Jupiter's Tangrowth used only Natural Gift, and its strategy was easily worked around.

===In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga===
A Tangrowth was shown under the ownership of [[Jupiter]] in ''[[DPA14|A Novel Test!!]]''.

==Trivia==
* Until the release of {{game|Platinum}}, the only way to obtain Tangrowth was to transfer a {{p|Tangela}} via [[Pal Park]] and evolve it. This was the only case in which a {{cat|Generation IV Pokémon}} was only obtainable through Pal Park.

===Origin===
It is based on vines. Considering Tangrowth's shaggy appearance, Tangrowth may be based on an exaggerated concept of a shaggy {{wp|caveman}}. It may also be based on a {{wp|Green Man}}, a motif that is represented as a face surrounded by leaves and vines. Its appearance and behavior also match that of the {{wp|Bornean orangutan}} and {{wp|Sumatran orangutan}}.

====Name origin====
Tangrowth is a combination of ''tangle'' and ''growth''.

Mojumbo is a combination of もじゃもじゃ ''mojamoja'' (shaggy or unkempt) and ''jumbo'' (referring to its size).

'''Ambipom''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エテボース''' ''Eteboth'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Aipom}} when [[level]]ed up while knowing {{m|Double Hit}}.

==Biology==
Ambipom is a purple, simian Pokémon with two tails, each with a large, rounded hand with three red-tipped fingers. The tails also have a cuff of a rounded frill on the wrists. The bases of Ambipom's tails also have a similar frill. It has round ears with red insides. Ambipom has an arrangement of a split hair sticking out from the top of its head. These strands of hair are longer on a female. It has a purple, triangular nose and wide eyes.

Ambipom can leap from tree to tree with brilliant speed. To eat, it deftly shucks nuts with its two tails. As it has two hands on its tails, it rarely uses its arms. Ambipom works in large colonies in heavily wooded areas and makes rings by linking tails with another Ambipom, apparently in friendship. It also shows affection by using both of its tails to wrap and squeeze people. It lives along with its young, {{p|Aipom}}. It lives high in the treetops of tropical, temperate and even boreal forests, using its tails for balance as it swings from branch to branch. In [[Alola]] region, while searching for comfortable trees, Ambipom get into territorial disputes with {{p|Passimian}}, in which they win half the time.

==In the anime==
[[File:Dawn Ambipom.png|thumb|250px|left|Ambipom in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Dawn's Ambipom]]====
Ambipom debuted in ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]'', where's {{an|Dawn}}'s Aipom, formerly owned by {{Ash}}, evolved. Upon evolving, she matured greatly and became one of Dawn's most talented Pokémon, being used in many of her {{pkmn|Contest}}s. She was later given to [[O]] in ''[[DP124|To Thine Own Pokémon Be True!]]'', in order to train and then become a ping-pong champion at his training center in [[Vermilion City]].

===Minor appearances===
Three {{pkmn|Trainer}}s' Ambipom appeared in ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'' as residents of the [[Azoth Kingdom]].

===Pokédex entries===

==In the manga==
[[File:Aibo.png|thumb|200px|Ambipom in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Aibo}}
{{adv|Gold}}'s Aipom, Aibo, evolved into an Ambipom prior to his {{pkmn|battle}} with {{adv|Arceus}}. However, he debuted in ''[[PS448|Pleased as Punch With Parasect]]''. This event, however, distressed [[Togebo]], being the only Pokémon on his team that was in his basic stage.

===In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga===
A Trainer used an Ambipom against [[Hareta]] in ''[[DPA25|Clash! Hareta vs. Koya]]''.

==Trivia==
===Origin===
Ambipom appears to be based on a {{wp|New World monkey}} and the exaggerated concept of their {{wp|prehensile tail}}. Ambipom also shares its large smile with a {{wp|cymbal-banging monkey toy}}. It may vaguely reference the {{wp|Ahuizotl (creature)|ahuizotl}}, a creature of Aztec mythology with monkey hands and a fifth human hand on its tail.

====Name origin====
Ambipom is a combination of the prefix ''[[Wiktionary:ambi-|ambi-]]'' (from the Latin for ''both''), referring to ambidexterity, and a corruption of ''palm''.

Eteboth may be a combination of 猿公 ''etekō'' (monkey), 得手 ''ete'', meaning strong point, and ''both'', possibly referring to the ambidextrous nature of the hands on its tail.

'''Ambipom''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エテボース''' ''Eteboth'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Aipom}} when [[level]]ed up while knowing {{m|Double Hit}}.

==Biology==
Ambipom is a purple, simian Pokémon with two tails, each with a large, rounded hand with three red-tipped fingers. The tails also have a cuff of a rounded frill on the wrists. The bases of Ambipom's tails also have a similar frill. It has round ears with red insides. Ambipom has an arrangement of a split hair sticking out from the top of its head. These strands of hair are longer on a female. It has a purple, triangular nose and wide eyes.

Ambipom can leap from tree to tree with brilliant speed. To eat, it deftly shucks nuts with its two tails. As it has two hands on its tails, it rarely uses its arms. Ambipom works in large colonies in heavily wooded areas and makes rings by linking tails with another Ambipom, apparently in friendship. It also shows affection by using both of its tails to wrap and squeeze people. It lives along with its young, {{p|Aipom}}. It lives high in the treetops of tropical, temperate and even boreal forests, using its tails for balance as it swings from branch to branch. In Alola region, while searching for comfortable trees, Ambipom get into territorial disputes with {{p|Passimian}}, in which they win half the time.

==In the anime==
[[File:Dawn Ambipom.png|thumb|250px|left|Ambipom in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Dawn's Ambipom]]====
Ambipom debuted in ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]'', where's {{an|Dawn}}'s Aipom, formerly owned by {{Ash}}, evolved. Upon evolving, she matured greatly and became one of Dawn's most talented Pokémon, being used in many of her {{pkmn|Contest}}s. She was later given to [[O]] in ''[[DP124|To Thine Own Pokémon Be True!]]'', in order to train and then become a ping-pong champion at his training center in [[Vermilion City]].

===Minor appearances===
Three {{pkmn|Trainer}}s' Ambipom appeared in ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'' as residents of the [[Azoth Kingdom]].

===Pokédex entries===

==In the manga==
[[File:Aibo.png|thumb|200px|Ambipom in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Aibo}}
{{adv|Gold}}'s Aipom, Aibo, evolved into an Ambipom prior to his {{pkmn|battle}} with {{adv|Arceus}}. However, he debuted in ''[[PS448|Pleased as Punch With Parasect]]''. This event, however, distressed [[Togebo]], being the only Pokémon on his team that was in his basic stage.

===In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga===
A Trainer used an Ambipom against [[Hareta]] in ''[[DPA25|Clash! Hareta vs. Koya]]''.

==Trivia==
===Origin===
Ambipom appears to be based on a {{wp|New World monkey}} and the exaggerated concept of their {{wp|prehensile tail}}. Ambipom also shares its large smile with a {{wp|cymbal-banging monkey toy}}. It may vaguely reference the {{wp|Ahuizotl (creature)|ahuizotl}}, a creature of Aztec mythology with monkey hands and a fifth human hand on its tail.

====Name origin====
Ambipom is a combination of the prefix ''[[Wiktionary:ambi-|ambi-]]'' (from the Latin for ''both''), referring to ambidexterity, and a corruption of ''palm''.

Eteboth may be a combination of 猿公 ''etekō'' (monkey), 得手 ''ete'', meaning strong point, and ''both'', possibly referring to the ambidextrous nature of the hands on its tail.

'''Yanmega''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メガヤンマ''' ''Megayanma'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Yanma}} when [[level]]ed up while knowing {{m|Ancient Power}}.

==Biology==
Yanmega is a large, dark green dragonfly Pokémon. Its large eyes are red with black lines that make a sideways "T" shape in each one. It has two large, white fangs or mandibles next to its small mouth. Its immense jaw power allows it to bite apart foes while flying by at high speed. Each of Yanmega's segments have a red spot on them, while the last tail segment has a black triangular plate. It has two similar plates on the back of its thorax and a third on its head. It has four white, oval wings with red tips, and there are two smaller white wings on the end of its tail. Yanmega can create shock waves by beating its wings. These shock waves are so powerful, they may inflict critical injuries on the foe. These wings are powerful enough to carry an adult human. Yanmega also has six thin, black legs. Yanmega is very rare in the wild, though it can be found in wooded and swampy areas.

==In the anime==
[[File:Keanan Yanmega.png|thumb|left|250px|Yanmega in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Jessie's Yanmega]]====
[[Jessie]] has a female Yanmega that debuted in ''[[DP080|The Thief That Keeps on Thieving!]]'', which also served as the species' main series debut. After {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} her as a {{p|Yanma}}, Jessie used her in a {{pkmn|battle}} against {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, where she evolved into Yanmega in the same episode. Yanmega was then used in several [[Pokémon Contest]]s before Jessie left her at the {{an|Team Rocket HQ}} when she headed to [[Unova]], so she would not attract attention by using a Pokémon foreign to the [[region]].

====Other====
Multiple Yanmega appeared in flashbacks in ''[[XY055|A Slippery Encounter!]]'', ''[[XY056|One for the Goomy!]]'', and ''[[XY061|An Oasis of Hope!]]''. They later physically appeared in ''[[XY069|Defending the Homeland!]]'' and ''[[XY070|Beyond the Rainbow!]]''. They are the minions of a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{an|Florges}}, who had ordered them to attack [[Ash's Goodra]]'s homeland in a flashback. They were then used again to attack Goodra itself. Two reappeared in ''[[XY139|Facing the Needs of the Many!]]'' and [[XY140|the following episode]].

===Minor appearances===
Yanmega debuted in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''.

A Yanmega appeared in ''[[M12|Arceus and The Jewel of Life]]''.

A Yanmega appeared in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'', under the ownership of [[Merilyn]]. It was mostly used as her means of transportation.

==In the manga==
[[File:Mars Yanmega Adventures.png|thumb|160px|Yanmega in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the movie adaptations===
A Yanmega under [[Merilyn]]'s ownership appeared in ''{{ma|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction}}''.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{tc|Commander}} [[Mars]] owns a Yanmega. In ''[[PS394|Yikes, Yanmega! II]]'', it was ordered through a floating speaker-camera device to summon a swarm of Yanmega to infiltrate [[Professor Rowan]]'s lab. The swarm dispersed after {{adv|Diamond}} had [[Tru]] destroy the device with its improvised {{m|Razor Leaf}}. In the {{chap|Platinum}}, Mars' Yanmega faced [[Cheryl]]'s {{p|Blissey}}.

Multiple Yanmega appeared in ''[[PS392|Well Met, Weepinbell]]'', ''[[PS393|Yikes, Yanmega! I]]'', and ''Yikes, Yanmega! II''.

==Trivia==
* Despite having significantly higher Special Attack than Attack, Yanmega gives out 2 Attack [[effort value]]s when defeated.
* Two generations after Yanmega's debut, [[Mega Pokémon]] were introduced. These Pokémon have the word "mega" in front of their names, similar to Yanmega's name in Japan.

===Origin===
It is, as its name suggests, based on the ''{{wp|Meganeura|Meganeura monyi}}'', a particularly large, prehistoric species of {{wp|Odonata|dragonflies and damselflies}}. Its species name suggests it's based on a {{wp|Green Darner|green darner}}.

====Name origin====
Yanmega and Megayanma are a combination of 蜻蜓 ''yanma'' (large dragonfly) and ''{{wp|Meganeura}}'' (a genus commonly referred to as "griffinflies", consisting of gigantic prehistoric versions of modern dragonflies/damselflies). Megayanma may also literally be "''mega yanma''".

'''Yanmega''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メガヤンマ''' ''Megayanma'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Yanma}} when [[level]]ed up while knowing {{m|Ancient Power}}.

==Biology==
Yanmega is a large, dark green dragonfly Pokémon. Its large eyes are red with black lines that make a sideways "T" shape in each one. It has two large, white fangs or mandibles next to its small mouth. Its immense jaw power allows it to bite apart foes while flying by at high speed. Each of Yanmega's segments have a red spot on them, while the last tail segment has a black triangular plate. It has two similar plates on the back of its thorax and a third on its head. It has four white, oval wings with red tips, and there are two smaller white wings on the end of its tail. Yanmega can create shock waves by beating its wings. These shock waves are so powerful, they may inflict critical injuries on the foe. These wings are powerful enough to carry an adult human. Yanmega also has six thin, black legs. Yanmega is very rare in the wild, though can be found in wooded and swampy areas.

==In the anime==
[[File:Keanan Yanmega.png|thumb|left|250px|Yanmega in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Jessie's Yanmega]]====
[[Jessie]] has a female Yanmega that debuted in ''[[DP080|The Thief That Keeps on Thieving!]]'', which also served as the species' main series debut. After {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} her as a {{p|Yanma}}, Jessie used her in a {{pkmn|battle}} against {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, where she evolved into Yanmega in the same episode. Yanmega was then used in several [[Pokémon Contest]]s before Jessie left her at the {{an|Team Rocket HQ}} when she headed to [[Unova]], so she would not attract attention by using a Pokémon foreign to the [[region]].

====Other====
Multiple Yanmega appeared in flashbacks in ''[[XY055|A Slippery Encounter!]]'', ''[[XY056|One for the Goomy!]]'', and ''[[XY061|An Oasis of Hope!]]''. They later physically appeared in ''[[XY069|Defending the Homeland!]]'' and ''[[XY070|Beyond the Rainbow!]]''. They are the minions of a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{an|Florges}}, who had ordered them to attack [[Ash's Goodra]]'s homeland in a flashback. They were then used again to attack Goodra itself. Two reappeared in ''[[XY139|Facing the Needs of the Many!]]'' and [[XY140|the following episode]].

===Minor appearances===
Yanmega debuted in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''.

A Yanmega appeared in ''[[M12|Arceus and The Jewel of Life]]''.

A Yanmega appeared in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'', under the ownership of [[Merilyn]]. It was mostly used as her means of transportation.

==In the manga==
[[File:Mars Yanmega Adventures.png|thumb|160px|Yanmega in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the movie adaptations===
A Yanmega under [[Merilyn]]'s ownership appeared in ''{{ma|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction}}''.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{tc|Commander}} [[Mars]] owns a Yanmega. In ''[[PS394|Yikes, Yanmega! II]]'', it was ordered through a floating speaker-camera device to summon a swarm of Yanmega to infiltrate [[Professor Rowan]]'s lab. The swarm dispersed after {{adv|Diamond}} had [[Tru]] destroy the device with its improvised {{m|Razor Leaf}}. In the {{chap|Platinum}}, Mars' Yanmega faced [[Cheryl]]'s {{p|Blissey}}.

Multiple Yanmega appeared in ''[[PS392|Well Met, Weepinbell]]'', ''[[PS393|Yikes, Yanmega! I]]'', and ''Yikes, Yanmega! II''.

==Trivia==
* Despite having significantly higher Special Attack than Attack, Yanmega gives out 2 Attack [[effort value]]s when defeated.
* Two generations after Yanmega's debut, [[Mega Pokémon]] were introduced. These Pokémon have the word "mega" in front of their names, similar to Yanmega's name in Japan.

===Origin===
It is, as its name suggests, based on the ''{{wp|Meganeura|Meganeura monyi}}'', a particularly large, prehistoric species of {{wp|Odonata|dragonflies and damselflies}}. Its species name suggests it's based on a {{wp|Green Darner|green darner}}.

====Name origin====
Yanmega and Megayanma are a combination of 蜻蜓 ''yanma'' (large dragonfly) and ''{{wp|Meganeura}}'' (a genus commonly referred to as "griffinflies", consisting of gigantic prehistoric versions of modern dragonflies/damselflies). Megayanma may also literally be "''mega yanma''".

'''Bellossom''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キレイハナ''' ''Kireihana'') is a {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Gloom}} when exposed to a [[Sun Stone]]. It is one of {{p|Oddish}}'s final forms, the other being {{p|Vileplume}}.

==Biology==
Bellossom is a primarily green Pokémon with circular blue eyes and red markings on its cheeks. It has two bright red flowers on its head and green and yellow leaves around its waist that resemble a skirt, all adding to the appearance of a hula dancer. Bellossom's petals are said to be more beautiful the worse the {{p|Gloom}} it evolved from smelled. When it rubs the petals on its head together, it creates a pleasing sound. Bellossom does not possess feet; in the [[EP122|anime]], its center-most leaves bent as it was getting ready to spring, suggesting that it uses its leaves as substitutes for feet or legs. However, the Pokédex does classify it as a biped.

Bellossom is often seen dancing and chanting. In particular, Bellossom dances when cloudy weather persists, or when the heavy rainfall season ends and it is drawn out by the warm sunlight. Being the result of an evolution via [[evolutionary stone]], Bellosom is rarely found in the wild, though they can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grassy plains}}.

==Other appearances==
[[File:Sleep Powder SSBB.png|220px|thumb|Bellossom in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When released from a {{i|Poké Ball}}, Bellossom will use its {{m|Sweet Scent}} to put any nearby opponents into a deep sleep. As Bellossom stays on-screen for longer than most Pokémon, this gives the thrower time to power up a smash move. It is also available as a trophy.

====Trophy information====
"''From time to time, these beautiful flower Pokémon will gather in numbers and perform an odd sort of dance to call out the sun. While in the midst of this strange exhibition, their petals brush together to create a peaceful and soothing melody. A Gloom will only evolve into a Bellossom if it's exposed to a [[Sun Stone]].''"

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Bellossom makes a return appearance in Brawl, once again using its {{m|Sweet Scent}} to put opponents to sleep and leave them vulnerable to attacks.

====Trophy Information====
''"A Flower Pokémon. After spells of cloudy weather, Bellossom will gather to call out the sun by performing a dance. When exposed long enough to the sun, the leaves on its body will spin around. {{a|Chlorophyll|A Bellossom's Speed is also known to increase with sun exposure}}. Its main specialty is poison attacks. Also, Bellossom will close its flowers when sleeping."''

===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
Bellossom returns as a Poké Ball summon, once again using {{m|Sweet Scent}} to put opponents to sleep.

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''A Grass-type Pokémon, Bellossom evolves from Gloom, losing its secondary Poison type. It also gets smaller. It's most common to find Bellossom in tropical climates, grouped together and dancing. In Smash Bros., the Sweet Scent from Bellossom can put even the most hardened fighters to sleep.''

'''PAL''': ''Two unusual things happen when Gloom evolves into Bellossom: it gets smaller, and it loses its secondary type, Poison, becoming a purely Grass-type Pokémon. These Pokémon are most commonly found in groups in the tropics. Here, the more damage fighters have taken, the longer Sweet Scent keeps them asleep!''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Bellossom returns for the fourth time in the series, retaining {{m|Sweet Scent}}, which lulls nearby foes to sleep.

==Trivia==
[[File:1999 Bellossom Artwork.png|thumb|right|Bellossom's early artwork]]
* In its {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} artwork, and artwork made earlier, Bellossom's body is shown with a blue color instead of its usual green. This color is similar to that of its evolutionary relatives and its Shiny color in [[Generation II]].
* Bellossom is the only single-type Pokémon that evolves from a dual-type Pokémon (thus the only Pokémon which loses its secondary type upon evolution).
* Bellossom shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Vileplume}} and {{p|Bellsprout}}. They are all known as the Flower Pokémon.
* In [[Generation II]], Bellossom could not learn {{m|Sludge Bomb}} from TM36, despite its pre-evolutions being able to do so. This was changed starting in [[Generation III]].

===Origin===
Bellossom may be based on a ''{{wp|Rafflesia keithii}}'' and a {{wp|hula}} dancer. Judging from its body structure and [[Pokédex]] entries, it may also be based on a bell.

====Name origin====
Bellossom is a combination of ''bella'' or ''belle'' (Spanish and French for ''pretty'') and ''blossom''. It may also involve ''bell''.

Kireihana is a combination of 綺麗 ''kirei'' (pretty) and 花 ''hana'' (flower). It may also involve 鈴 ''rei'' (bell).

==In other languages==

'''Nosepass''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ノズパス''' ''Nosepass'') is a {{type|Rock}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Probopass}} when [[level]]ed up in a [[special magnetic field]].

==Biology==
Nosepass is a blue, angular, hard bipedal Pokémon that closely resembles the {{wp|Easter Island Heads}}. Its bright red, triangular nose is highly magnetic and slightly resembles a 3D arrow. This nose functions as an {{wp|electromagnet}} and always points north. It has arms and legs without any visible joints and small, circular holes on the undersides. Its arms resemble compass needles. It has similar circular holes on the sides of its head. Its eyes, covered by dark, somewhat mask-like markings, have the appearance of being closed.

Nosepass cannot go near others, since it would repel them with its magnetic nose. Its magnetism is stronger in cold seasons. To protect itself when in danger, it raises its magnetism and draws iron objects to its body. This technique is also used to capture prey, though it can pull natural enemies close too. Nosepass only moves a little over 3/8 of an inch each year, but can quickly spin its body into the ground like a drill during emergency situations. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|caves}}. {{p|Metang}} (and possibly its evolved form {{p|Metagross}}) are natural predators of Nosepass.

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
[[File:Roxanne Nosepass.png|220px|thumb|left|Nosepass in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Roxanne's Nosepass]]=====
Nosepass debuted in ''[[AG016|A Winner By a Nosepass]]'', under the ownership of [[Roxanne]]. It was used in her [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} against {{Ash}}, where it was eventually defeated by {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Iron Tail}}.

=====Other=====
In ''[[AG183|Aipom and Circumstance]]'', a young man named [[Hank]] used his Nosepass to track down {{Ash}}'s missing {{AP|Aipom}}.

In ''[[DP058|Nosing 'Round the Mountain!]]'', Ash battled a boy named [[Alan]] and his Nosepass at [[Mt. Coronet]] at Alan's request. The Nosepass then evolved into {{p|Probopass}}.

Four Nosepass appeared in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', under the ownership of [[Damos]]. In the original timeline set up by the movie, they were used by Damos, who was under {{m|Hypnosis}}, to attack {{OBP|Arceus|M12}} with {{m|Shock Wave}}. When Ash and {{ashfr}} traveled to the past to prevent this, [[Marcus]], the one responsible for hypnotizing Damos, managed to use the Nosepass again to attack Arceus.

====Minor appearances====
A Nosepass appeared in the opening sequence of ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''.

A Nosepass appeared in the opening sequence of ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''.

A {{pkmn|Coordinator}}'s Nosepass appeared in ''[[DP095|Battling The Generation Gap!]]'', where it was participating in the [[Appeal|Performance Stage]] of the {{to|Celestic}} {{pkmn|Contest}}.

Multiple Nosepass appeared in ''[[DP112|Cheers on Castaways Isle!]]''.

A Nosepass briefly appeared in ''[[DP183|League Unleashed!]]'', under the ownership of a {{pkmn|Trainer}} participating in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]. It was seen lying down on the ground after it was knocked out by [[Barry's Empoleon]].

In [[Pokémon Adventures]], [[Roxanne]]'s main Pokémon is a Nosepass. It first appeared in ''[[PS190|Blowing Past Nosepass I]]''. During her battle against {{adv|Sapphire}} she used Nosepass's {{a|Magnet Pull}} so that her {{p|Aron}} cannot be switched. She saves its Poké Ball inside a hollowed-out book. Later when fighting against [[Team Magma]] in [[Lilycove City]], Nosepass uses its {{m|Block}} attack to stop {{p|Groudon}} from moving. Unfortunately, Roxanne allows Team Magma to knock Nosepass out to protect some civilians.

In ''[[PS349|Passing by Probopass and Maneuvering around Magnezone]]'', [[Cyrus]] attacks {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}} with a Nosepass and {{p|Magneton}} at [[Mt. Coronet]]. Due to Mt. Coronet's magnetic field, the Pokémon quickly evolve into {{p|Probopass}} and {{p|Magnezone}}, respectively.

==Trivia==
* Nosepass is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 375.
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Nosepass is programmed to be able to learn {{m|Head Smash}} through {{pkmn|breeding}}, but no other Pokémon in the {{egg2|Mineral}} can legitimately learn it to pass down as an [[Egg Move]] in those games. It was removed from Nosepass's Egg Move list in [[Generation V]], but in more recent games, some Pokémon in the Mineral Egg Group have become able to pass it down.
* Due to [[List of censored words in Pokémon Black and White Versions|the censor]] that prevents Pokémon with offensive [[nickname]]s being traded on the [[GTS]], an English language Nosepass cannot be traded on the GTS without a nickname in {{game|Black and White|s}}.
* When displayed on the overworld map in [[Pokémon GO]], Nosepass's model will always face north.

===Origin===
{{bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Nosepass and Probopass}}
It is based on the {{wp|Moai}} statues of {{wp|Easter Island}}, as well as a {{wp|compass}}.

Its nasal compass may be based on the expression "{{wp|follow one's nose}}", meaning "to trust to one's instincts". It also could be based on the {{wp|ethmoid bone}} that is located between the {{wp|nasal cavity}} and the brain, and is known to give some species their sense of direction via {{wp|magnetoreception}}.

====Name origin====
Nosepass is a combination of ''nose'' and ''{{wp|compass}}.

'''Glalie''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''オニゴーリ''' ''Onigohri'') is an {{type|Ice}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Snorunt}} starting at [[level]] 42. It is one of Snorunt's final forms, the other being {{p|Froslass}}. It can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Glalie''' using the [[Glalitite]].

==Biology==
Glalie is a spherical Pokémon that consists of a black rock core covered by ice. The icy covering has several holes and spaces across this Pokémon's body. Blue eyes and a mouth with flat teeth are visible through three of these holes. There are two large, black, conical horns on either side of Glalie's head.

Mega Glalie's jaw is dislocated because of the overwhelming energy, causing its mouth to extend to the length of its face. The lower jaw is all black except for two light-blue, conical, icy spikes. The pupils in Mega Glalie's eyes are now red instead of black. The horns on top Mega Glalie's head have been partially turned into ice, with the addition of a third horn on its forehead.

Glalie's icy body is actually rock that is not particularly hard. It does not melt, and it can control ice by instantly freezing moisture in the air into any desirable shape. This ability is used to drape itself in ice armor and freeze its prey, which it then consumes whole. It prefers consuming Pokémon like {{p|Vanillite}} that are already frozen though. It can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|caves}}, particularly when the outside weather lacks snow. Mega Glalie can spill endless blizzards from its broken mouth, though it gets irritated by the fact that it can no longer consume its prey.

{{Ash}}'s {{p|Snorunt}} evolved into {{AP|Glalie}} in ''[[AG123|Rhapsody in Drew]]''. It only stayed during the [[Ever Grande Conference]]. It is now residing at {{an|Professor Oak}}'s [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|lab]].

=====Other=====
A Glalie appeared in ''[[DP116|The Drifting Snorunt!]]'', under the ownership of a {{OBP|Poacher|DP116}}. The poacher used Glalie to assist in capturing a Snorunt, which it did by frightening it into submission. However, it was defeated by [[Ash's Chimchar]] and a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Froslass}}.

A Glalie appeared in a flashback in ''[[BW140|Survival of the Striaton Gym!]]'', under the ownership of [[Morana]]. It was seen battling and defeating [[Cress's Panpour]].

A Glalie that can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] appeared in ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'', under the control of [[Levi]]'s Mega Wave. Glalie was used to battle against {{OBP|Volcanion|M19}}. It was later freed from Levi's control when [[Alva]]'s Mega Wave Crystal was destroyed, and it escaped.

====Minor appearances====
A Glalie appeared in the opening sequence of ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''.

A Glalie made a brief cameo in ''[[SS021|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - Beyond Time & Darkness]]''.

==In the manga==
[[File:Noland Glalie Adventures.png|thumb|150px|Glalie in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In ''[[PS251|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon XIII]]'', [[Glacia]] of the [[Hoenn]] [[Elite Four]] was seen in possession of a Glalie.

{{FB|Factory Head|Noland}} is seen picking a Glalie as one of his [[rental Pokémon]] in his {{pkmn|battle}} against {{adv|Emerald}} in ''[[PS307|Gotcha Where I Wantcha, Glalie]]''. Although he came close to winning by delivering a would-be-fatal {{m|Sheer Cold}} that succeeded in hitting his target, [[Emerald's Sceptile]] was in fact, unbeknownst to both Noland and Emerald, not meant to be a rental Pokémon and survived due to his higher level. He eventually lost to Sceptile's {{m|Iron Tail}}, allowing Emerald to win the [[Symbol|Knowledge Symbol]].

The {{gdis|Battle Factory|III}} rented a Glalie, which was stolen by [[Guile Hideout]] in ''[[PS315|Skirting Around Surskit I]]''.

A Glalie appeared in the {{chap|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}, where it was seen on [[Mount Lanakila]].

==Trivia==
* Glalie shares all of its base stats with {{p|Phione}}.

===Origin===
Similar to Jynx, Glalie is based on human features, most likely on a cold, distant person or facial expression. It also looks somewhat similar to an ice hockey mask. Due to its horns and teeth, it may be based on a standard {{wp|Oni (folklore)|oni}} or possibly even {{wp|onigiri}} ([[rice ball]]), as its Japanese name suggests. It also resembles a {{wp|hail}}stone.

====Name origin====
Glalie may be a combination of ''{{wp|glacier}}'' and ''{{wp|Goaltender|goalie}}''.

Onigohri is a combination of 鬼 ''{{wp|Oni (folklore)|oni}}'' (demon) and 氷 ''kōri'' (ice). It may also be a pun on ''{{wp|onigiri}}'', which it slightly resembles. ''Gohri'' also bears phonetic similarity to ''goalie''.

'''Kecleon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カクレオン''' ''Kakureon'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

Kecleon, along with {{p|Wailmer}} and {{p|Azurill}}, was one of the first {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}} revealed, in early March 2001.

==Biology==
[[File:Invisible Kecleon.png|200px|left|thumb|An invisible Kecleon]]
Kecleon is a bipedal, reptilian Pokémon that is usually green. On either sides of its head are yellow frills, which are connected by lines to its yellow lips and rings around its eyes. There are small ridges on its shoulders and a red zigzag stripe around its midsection. The hands and feet have three short digits each, and it has yellow soles. It also has a long skinny tail that is usually curled tightly in a spiral.

Kecleon is able to change the colors of its body at will, and is known for frequently using this ability to camouflage itself. However, it is unable to change the color of its red stripe. Its color also changes based on its mood and health, darkening in color with better health. By using camouflage to appear almost invisible, it can sneak up on prey and ensnare it with its long pink tongue. If unnoticed for too long though, it pouts and may never reveal itself. A purplish variant has been seen in [[EP205|the anime]] and the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]; whether this is an example of it changing color or simply a different kind of Kecleon is unknown. This Pokémon lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|tropical and temperate forests}}.

Due to its Abilities, this Pokémon will change its type throughout the battle, thus changing its weaknesses. For instance, if hit by{{tt|*|with Color Change}} or when using{{tt|*|with Protean}} a Fighting-type move, it will become more vulnerable to a Psychic-type attack and more resistant to a Dark-type attack if either is used next.

==Trivia==
* Kecleon is the hardest Pokémon to recruit in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], with a base recruit rate of -33.9%. It can only be recruited if the player is level 90 or higher, and if they are holding a [[Recruitment items|Friend Bow]]. Even after all this, Kecleon's recruit rate is only 0.1%. Requirements changed in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Explorers of Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]]; the player must instead be at level 99, while holding a [[Golden Mask]] with the "Fast Friend" [[IQ]] skill; these requirements come in conjunction with its base recruit rate decreasing to -49.5%.
* The [[Pokémon Colosseum beta#Unused Shadow Pokémon e-mails|internal files]] for [[Pokémon Colosseum]] lists Kecleon as being meant to be a [[Shadow Pokémon]] multiple times.

===Origin===
Kecleon is based on a {{wp|chameleon}}, most likely the {{wp|veiled chameleon}}.

====Name origin====
Kecleon and Kakureon may be a combination of 隠れる ''kakureru'' (to hide) and ''{{wp|chameleon}}''.

'''Seviper''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ハブネーク''' ''Habunake'') is a {{type|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

It is well known for its ongoing feud against {{p|Zangoose}}.

==Biology==
Seviper is a serpentine Pokémon that is usually depicted scrunched up like an accordion. It is mostly black, but has several markings on its body. It has yellow hexagon markings that run from its head to its tail, small yellow bumps where it touches the ground, and various purple scar-like marks. It has elongated red fangs that protrude from its upper jaw and fierce red eyes. Its tail is partially red and has a blade-like shape. Seviper sharpens its tail on rocks, and can use it for its former [[signature move]], {{m|Poison Tail}}.

Seviper wraps around its opponents to make them unable to move. Its tail and fangs are venomous, and are used for striking and poisoning prey or enemies. It has been bitter enemies with {{p|Zangoose}} for many generations. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands and savannas.}}

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
[[File:Keanan Seviper.png|thumb|250px|left|Seviper in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Jessie's Seviper]]=====
Seviper debuted in ''[[AG008|A Tail with a Twist]]''. [[Jessie]] was so impressed by how it beat up [[Ash's Treecko]], that she had to capture it. After it bit off a chunk of her hair accidentally, she beat it up with her own two hands. After [[James]] and {{MTR}} calmed her back down, she captured it in a {{i|Poké Ball}}. Seviper became Jessie's main battling partner replacing her {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}. Jessie was made to leave Seviper at {{an|Team Rocket HQ|Team Rocket Headquarters}} when she headed to the [[Unova]] [[region]] so they wouldn't attract attention by using Pokémon not from Unova.

=====[[Lucy's Seviper]]=====
A Seviper appeared in ''[[AG158|Queen of the Serpentine]]'', under the ownership of {{FB|Pike Queen|Lucy}}. She first used it to fight off {{TRT}}, during which it clashed against Jessie's own Seviper. It was then used to battle [[Ash's Donphan]] at the [[Battle Pike]], where it lost.

=====Other=====
A Seviper appeared in ''[[BW114|Saving Braviary!]]'', under the ownership of [[Schwarz and Weiss|Schwarz]]. Schwarz sent it out after he and Weiss caught {{an|N}} getting away with {{p|Braviary}}. It was then used to battle {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} and was eventually defeated in a battle by [[Iris's Excadrill]].

Multiple Seviper appeared in ''[[XY069|Defending the Homeland!]]''. They were one of {{an|Florges}}'s minions who were ordered to attack {{AP|Goodra}}'s homeland. Two of them reappeared in ''[[XY070|Beyond the Rainbow!]]'', ''[[XY112|Master Class is in Session!]]'', and ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]''.

====Minor appearances====
A Seviper appeared in a flashback in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]''.

A Seviper appeared in a flashback in ''[[XY065|Good Friends, Great Training!]]''.

[[File:Team Plasma Seviper Animated Trailer.png|thumb|250px|Seviper in the animated trailer]]
A Seviper appeared in the [[Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2 Animated Trailer]], under the ownership of a female {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}. It was ordered to attack {{ga|Nate}}, [[Hugh]], and [[Cheren]] with {{m|Bite}} aboard the [[Plasma Frigate]], but Nate's {{p|Arcanine}} intercepted with its own Bite before Hugh's {{p|Samurott}} attacked it with {{m|Ice Beam}}.

[[File:Seviper Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Seviper in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Lucy's Seviper}}
In ''[[PS183|Trying to Trounce Torchic]]'', a {{pkmn2|wild}} Seviper attacked {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}} after the latter took him to her [[Secret Base]]. [[Chic|Her Torchic]] was able to put it down for the time being with its {{m|Ember}} barrage, but it rose back up after Sapphire fainted from an earlier wound. Ruby, seeing that there was no one around to see him fight, knocked it out cold before leaving Sapphire a letter and a change of clothes.

A Seviper appeared in the wild in ''[[PS207|On the Loose and Hyper with Zangoose and Seviper I]]'' and ''[[PS208|On the Loose and Hyper with Zangoose and Seviper II]]'' where it broke Ruby's {{i|Poké Ball}}s in unison with a wild {{p|Zangoose}}. The then-uncaptured [[Feefee]] was able to take them both out, resulting in it being forced into his team (which provided a sharp contrast between the well-groomed [[Nana]] and [[Kiki]], and [[Mumu]] and itself).

As in the {{pkmn|games}}, [[Pike Queen Lucy]] uses a Seviper as her main Pokémon, which was able to defeat two [[rental Pokémon]] in an exhibition match, and later fought {{adv|Emerald}} before losing. She first appeared in ''[[PS304|Swanky Showdown with Swalot]]''.

A Seviper {{pkmn2|caught}} by {{adv|Crystal}} and lent to {{adv|Emerald}} for his [[Battle Pike]] challenge appeared in a fantasy in ''[[PS309|Moving Past Milotic]]''.

==Trivia==
* In an [[AG077|infamous]] [[Pokémon Trainer's Choice]], Seviper was incorrectly claimed to be an evolution of {{p|Arbok}}.
* Seviper and its rival {{p|Zangoose}} share several characteristics, such as being in the Field Egg Group, residing in the same Friend Area, and being the only two Pokémon with a base stat total of 458.
** Seviper and Zangoose also have the exact opposite [[Experience]] group, with Seviper being in the Fluctuating group and Zangoose being in the Erratic group.
* Seviper is the only pure {{t|Poison}} type to not have an evolutionary relative.

===Origin===
Seviper is based on a viper; specifically, the {{wp|habu}}, a type of venomous {{wp|snake}} that was often pitted against {{wp|mongoose}}s in roadside shows. This practice is now considered inhumane and is rarely seen today. Aside from its scars, the shape of its color pattern resembles that of the {{wp|Trimeresurus elegans|elegant pitviper}}. The rivalry it shares with Zangoose is based on the relationship between mongooses and snakes.

====Name origin====
Seviper is a combination of ''sever'' (to cut and detach) or ''severe'' (intense) and ''{{wp|viper}}''.

Habunake is a combination of 波布 ''{{wp|habu}}'' and ''snake''.

'''Zangoose''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ザングース''' ''Zangoose'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

It is well known for its ongoing feud against {{p|Seviper}}.

==Biology==
Zangoose is a bipedal Pokémon resembling a cross between a mongoose and cat. Although it is classified as a bipedal Pokémon, it usually walks on all fours. Its fur is mostly white with deep red, scar-like markings on the face, chest, and forepaws. It has two long, black claws on its forepaws, and pink paw pads on its hind feet. It has pink eyes, long ears, and a small red nose. When it opens its mouth, two sharp fangs can be seen on its upper jaw. There are small tufts of white fur on its shoulders, and it has a large, fluffy tail.

Zangoose is bitter enemies with {{p|Seviper}}, which it has battled for many generations. Its claws are its best weapons, and can be used for its former [[signature move]], {{m|Crush Claw}}. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands and savannas}}.

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
[[File:Black Belt Zangoose.png|thumb|left|220px|Zangoose in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
====Major appearances====
Zangoose debuted in ''[[AG048|ZigZag Zangoose]]'', under the ownership of [[Nicholai]]. It battled {{Ash}} and his {{AP|Treecko}}, but suddenly, Zangoose noticed [[Jessie's Seviper]] and started to battle it instead. Ash, {{ashfr}}, and even {{TRT}} did not know what was going on, but it was Zangoose and {{p|Seviper}}'s natural rivalry that got the two fighting. They were suddenly knocked into a river and Seviper then used {{m|Poison Tail}}, knocking Zangoose unconscious. {{an|Brock}} nursed Zangoose back to health with herbal medicine and left it to rest. Later, Seviper reappeared and engaged it in battle again. After a long and fierce battle, Zangoose finally knocked out the Fang Snake Pokémon with a {{m|Crush Claw}}.

In ''[[SS020|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness]]'', Zangoose was a member of Team Razor Wind, along with {{p|Scyther}} and {{p|Sandslash}}. The trio of clawed Pokémon were first seen being blasted out of the [[Wigglytuff's Guild|Wigglytuff Guild]]. Team Razor Wind overheard that [[Team Poképals]] were assigned with the task of traveling to the Labyrinth Cave to get a {{p|Gabite}} Scale for an ailing {{p|Shinx}}, and decided to attempt beating [[Team Poképals]]. Unfortunately for Team Razor Wind, Gabite beat them up. It reappeared alongside its team in ''[[SS021|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - Beyond Time & Darkness]]''.

In ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze!]]'', it was discovered that [[Paul]] found {{TP|Paul|Chimchar}} being attacked by a group of {{pkmn2|wild}} Zangoose. Due to the {{a|Blaze|amazing power}} it used fighting the Zangoose, Paul decided to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it. Also in this episode, Chimchar was matched against a {{tc|Black Belt}}'s Zangoose and nearly lost to it during the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]].

In ''[[DP053|Tears For Fears!]]'', another group of Zangoose appeared before {{TRT}} and fought with [[Jessie's Seviper]]. Later, Chimchar found the courage to defeat them.

A powerful Zangoose appeared in ''[[DP135|Beating the Bustle and Hustle!]]'', under the ownership of [[Crimson]]. During the battle against {{Ash}} and [[Officer Jenny]], Zangoose was able to defeat {{AP|Buizel}} but fell to {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Iron Tail}}.

A Zangoose appeared in ''[[BW114|Saving Braviary!]]'', under the ownership of the {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}} [[Schwarz and Weiss|Weiss]]. Weiss sent it out after he and Schwarz caught {{an|N}} getting away with an injured Braviary. It was then used to battle {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, and was eventually defeated in a battle by [[Ash's Pikachu]] with help from the same Braviary. Additional Team Plasma Grunts used several Zangoose in ''[[BW120|Ash and N: A Clash of Ideals!]]'', during [[Team Plasma]]'s assault on the White Ruins.

====Minor appearances====
A {{pkmn|Coordinator}}'s Zangoose appeared in a flashback in ''[[AG060|Delcatty Got Your Tongue]]''. It was defeated by [[Dr. Abby]]'s {{p|Skitty}} during the [[Grand Festival]].

==Trivia==
* Zangoose and its rival {{p|Seviper}} share several characteristics, such as being in the {{egg|Field}} Egg Group, residing in the same [[Friend Area]], and being the only two Pokémon with a base stat total of 458.
** Zangoose and Seviper also have the exact opposite [[Experience]] group, with Zangoose being in the Erratic group and Seviper being in the Fluctuating group.

===Origin===
Zangoose is based on the {{wp|mongoose}}, a cat-like carnivore that is well known for its ability to hunt and kill venomous snakes. It also bears physical resemblance to the Angora and Persian cat breeds. The rivalry it shares with Seviper is based on the relationship between both cats and mongooses towards {{wp|snake}}s.

====Name origin====
Zangoose is a combination of 刪 ''san'' (cut down) and ''mongoose''. It may also derive from 残痕 ''zankon'' (scar) due to the markings on its body.

'''Torkoal''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''コータス''' ''Cotoise'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
Torkoal is a tortoise-like, quadruped Pokémon. It has a large black rock-like shell with holes that glow with a red warmth. Its skin is reddish brown with gray-black bands on its legs and neck. It has a long neck and its eyes seem permanently closed. Torkoal lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountains,}} where it looks for large deposits of coal. It uses the coal to fill the hollow spaces in its shell, and then burns it for energy.
It is also commonly found in volcanic areas.

Because coal is Torkoal's source of energy, it becomes immobile once it runs out of coal to burn. A Torkoal is healthy if the smoke spouting from its shell has tremendous velocity. When it blows out smoke from its nostrils and the top of its back, it sounds like a locomotive horn. It blows out black smoke before fleeing and while being attacked.

'''Carvanha''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キバニア''' ''Kibanha'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Sharpedo}} starting at [[level]] 30.

==Biology==
Carvanha is a fish Pokémon with a body covered in tiny, sharp {{wp|denticle}}s. The top half of its spherical body is blue, while the bottom half is red with a yellow, four-pointed star below its mouth. It has two yellow {{wp|dorsal fins}} above its eyes that resemble shark fins, and a matching {{wp|Fish anatomy#fins|pelvic fin}} on its belly. Its pectoral fins are also yellow. The caudal fin is composed of two red spines with a thin yellow membrane stretched between them.

It has powerful jaws and razor sharp teeth that are able to chew through solid steel and rip up boat hulls. It swarms any intruder and prey that invade its territory, and becomes timid when it is alone. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon|rivers that course through jungles}}. It has also been reported inhabiting rivers of temperate regions.

'''Swalot''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マルノーム''' ''Marunoom'') is a {{type|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Gulpin}} starting at [[level]] 26.

==Biology==
Swalot is a tall, purple, amorphous Pokémon. It has red, beady eyes and yellow whiskers. A female Swalot has shorter whiskers than a male. It has puckered lips and can fit an automobile tire in its mouth. Its hands have three fingers. It has a single row of black rhombi running across its midsection, and can expand and contract its body at will. It is capable of swallowing anything whole, and can digest anything except its own stomach lining. It covers prey and opponents with powerful poison. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands and savannas.}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Reggie Swalot.png|left|thumb|220px|Swalot in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Major appearances===
Swalot debuted in ''[[AG122|Deceit and Assist]]'', under the ownership of {{OBP|Anthony|AG122}}. He had been {{pkmn|training}} it since it was a {{p|Gulpin}}. It was used to compete in the [[Grand Festival]], during which it battled {{an|May}} and lost.

A Swalot appeared in ''[[AG127|From Brags to Riches]]'', under the ownership of [[Dominick]]. He used his Swalot and {{p|Tropius}} in a battle against {{Ash}}, where they battled {{AP|Corphish}} and {{AP|Torkoal}}. However, Corphish ultimately managed to defeat Swalot. It reappeared in a flashback in [[AG128|the next episode]].

[[Paul]]'s brother, [[Reggie]], owns a Swalot, which appeared in ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]''. Reggie used Swalot in his battle against Ash, where it battled {{AP|Staravia}} and was able to defeat it.

===Minor appearances===
A Swalot that was painted to look like a {{p|Grimer}} was shown at the [[Pokémon Dress-Up Contest]] in ''[[DP033|All Dressed Up With Somewhere To Go!]]''.

A {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Swalot appeared in ''[[XY039|Summer of Discovery!]]''.

==In the manga==
[[File:Swalot Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Swalot in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Unlike its {{p|Gulpin|pre-evolution}}, Swalot has only made one key appearance in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}}, being one of the Factory Pokémon, alongside {{p|Electrode}}, fighting [[Pike Queen Lucy]] and [[Palace Maven Spenser]] in ''[[PS304|Swanky Showdown with Swalot]]''. Although it seemingly won using a {{m|Hyper Beam}} after putting the former's {{TP|Lucy|Seviper}} to sleep, the serpent awoke using its {{a|Shed Skin}} ability and counterattacked with a {{m|Dig}} maneuver, defeating it.

The {{gdis|Battle Tower|III}} rented a Swalot, which was stolen by [[Guile Hideout]] in ''[[PS334|The Final Battle VII]]''.

In a flashback, a Swalot appeared as one of the Pokémon trained by the [[International Police]] in ''[[PS528|Innocent Scientist]]'', alongside Electrode.

{{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}s own multiple Swalot, which first appeared in ''[[PAXY26|Rhyhorn Charges]]''.

'''Gulpin''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゴクリン''' ''Gokulin'') is a {{type|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Swalot}} starting at [[level]] 26.

==Biology==
Gulpin is a round, green, amorphous Pokémon. It has a black diamond marking on its back and a yellow feather-like adornment on its head. A female has a shorter feather than a male. Its face consists of puckered lips and slanted eyes that are usually closed. It has two stubby appendages that are the same shape as its lips. It swallows anything of its own size whole, since its stomach comprises most of its body. Its heart and brain are very small in comparison to its stomach. The unique stomach acid it has allows it to digest almost anything. When it is digesting, vile, overpowering gases are expelled. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands and savannas.}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Nebel Plateau Gulpin.png|left|220px|thumb|Gulpin in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Major appearances===
Multiple Gulpin debuted in ''[[AG065|Gulpin it Down]]'', where they were eating all of the food in the harbor city {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} were in. Because of this, [[Professor Jacuzzi]] made several efforts to stop them, but one such effort wound up [[Giant Pokémon|enlarging]] one of the Gulpin, as well as [[Ash's Treecko]]. Both were eventually restored.

Multiple Gulpin appeared in ''[[XY069|Defending the Homeland!]]'' and ''[[XY070|Beyond the Rainbow!]]'' as Pokémon that lived in the wetlands that [[Ash's Goodra]] was from. They reappeared in ''[[XY112|Master Class is in Session!]]'' and ''[[XY113|Performing a Pathway to the Future!]]'' to watch {{an|Serena}}'s performance along with the rest of the wetland Pokémon. They appeared once again in ''[[XY123|A Diamond in the Rough!]]'', when Ash and his friends returned to the wetlands.

A Gulpin appeared in ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'' as a resident of the [[Nebel Plateau]]. It was particularly close to the {{OBP|Volcanion|M19}} guarding Nebel Plateau. Sometime ago, it had been abandoned by a {{pkmn|Trainer}} whose last act before departure was to hug it. As a result, Gulpin came to associate hugging with abandonment, which nearly strained its newly-formed relationship with Ash when he also hugged it. Later, it helped [[Clemont]] to break the bonds holding Ash and Volcanion together by using {{m|Gastro Acid}}.

===Minor appearances===
A Gulpin appeared in ''[[AG086|Lights, Camerupt, Action!]]'' as an actor in one of [[Elijah]]'s movies.

A {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Gulpin appeared in a flashback in ''[[AG166|Curbing the Crimson Tide!]]'', where it was revealed to be one of the Pokémon defeated by a disguised {{p|Scizor}} known as "Red Lightning".

A Gulpin appeared in ''[[XY005|A Blustery Santalune Gym Battle!]]''.

A Gulpin appeared in ''[[XY009|Clemont's Got a Secret!]]''.

A Gulpin appeared in ''[[XY016|A Jolting Switcheroo!]]''.

A Gulpin appeared in ''[[XY021|A PokéVision of Things to Come!]]''.

A Gulpin appeared in ''[[XY026|A Battle by Any Other Name!]]''.

A Gulpin appeared in ''[[XY028|The Bonds of Evolution!]]''.

A Gulpin appeared in ''[[XY029|Heroes - Friends and Faux Alike!]]''.

A Trainer's Gulpin appeared in ''[[XY047|Dreaming a Performer's Dream!]]''.

Multiple Gulpin appeared in a flashback in ''[[XY055|A Slippery Encounter!]]'' and ''[[XY061|An Oasis of Hope!]]''.

Two Gulpin appeared in a flashback in ''[[XY056|One for the Goomy!]]''.

Four Gulpin appeared in a flashback in ''[[XY065|Good Friends, Great Training!]]''.

A Trainer's Gulpin appeared in ''[[XY091|A Performance Pop Quiz!]]''.

A Trainer's Gulpin appeared in ''[[SM086|I Choose Paradise!]]'', where it was among the Pokémon seen at the [[Pokémon Paradise Resort]].

A Trainer's Gulpin appeared in ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', where it joined the rest of [[Alola]] in showering {{DL|Light trio (anime)|Necrozma}} with light so it could return to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|normal form}}.

The {{gdis|Battle Factory|III}} rented a Gulpin, as seen in ''[[PS326|Lemme at 'Em, Lapras!]]''. It was stolen by [[Guile Hideout]] in [[PS327|the next chapter]].

==In the TCG==

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
[[File:SSBB Gulpin.png|220px|thumb|Gulpin in Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]
After being released from its {{i|Poké Ball}}, Gulpin will wait until an opponent passes by, then will use {{m|Swallow}} to trap and constantly damage them. The opponent may also be beat on while in Gulpin's mouth for extra damage.

====Trophy information====
''"A Stomach Pokémon. While it's a carefree Pokémon with a lovable face, it can swallow something the size of itself in one gulp. Its stomach is filled with gastric juices strong enough to dissolve anything it eats. As it matures, it learns {{m|Wring Out}}, a move which is as strong as the remaining strength of the Pokémon. It evolves into Swalot."''

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]]: Hitting the {{p|Linoone}} on the left of the [[Ruby Field]] will make a Gulpin jump onto the table. Making three appear will activate Travel Mode.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: Gulpin runs the Link Shop in [[Pokémon Square]].

==Trivia==
* Gulpin is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 302.
* Gulpin can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Baltoy}}. Both of them are {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}}. Gulpin is exclusive to {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|Pokémon SoulSilver|s}}, while Baltoy is exclusive to {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|Pokémon HeartGold|s}}, with both Pokémon found in a [[Pokémon outbreak]] in the same locations in their respective versions. Additionally, both can be snagged as Shadow Pokémon in {{Pokémon XD}} at the [[Cipher Lab]], with both Pokémon having the same [[Shadow move]], {{m|Shadow Blitz}}.

===Origin===
Gulpin's appearance may be based on a single, giant poison gland or even a {{wp|gallbladder}}, the green sac-like organ that stores gastric acid. It also shares similarities with some snake species known to swallow their prey whole.

====Name origin====
Gulpin is a shortening of ''gulping'' (swallowing). It may also be a combination of "gulp" and "sculpin", as its appearance vaguely resembles the related [[wp:blobfish|blobfish]].

Gokulin may be a combination of ゴクリ ''gokuri'' (the sound of gulping) and ''toxin''.

'''Minun''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マイナン''' ''Minun'') is an {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any Pokémon, it does seem to be related to {{p|Plusle}}.

==Biology==
Minun is cream-colored bipedal Pokémon with blue markings. It has a dot-like nose, and a cream-colored minus sign in the middle of its circular blue cheeks. It has long, flat ears that are mostly blue. Its limbs are stubby and digitless, and it has blue front paws. Its short tail is tipped with a blue minus sign.

Minun cares more for its teammates than itself, sending off showers of sparks when it cheers for them. When its partner is in trouble, it gives off increasing amounts of sparks. It can create electric pom-poms for cheering. Its electrical current promotes blood circulation and energizes its target. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands and savannas}}. However, it will hide under the eaves of houses when it rains due to its dislike of water.

==In the anime==
[[File:Ursula Minun.png|thumb|left|220px|Minun in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Major appearances===
Minun debuted alongside {{p|Plusle}} in ''[[AG038|A Different Kind of Misty!]]''. Both Pokémon were owned by [[Thatcher]], who was responsible for protecting a lighthouse. The two reappeared in ''[[AG052|Cheer Pressure]]'', where Thatcher was {{pkmn|training}} them to be cheerleaders. Both were often seen [[Walking Pokémon|outside of their Poké Balls]].

A Minun and Plusle appeared in ''[[AG086|Lights, Camerupt, Action!]]'', under the ownership of [[Elijah]]. They were among his actors. The plot of the movie was that Pikachu, Minun, and Plusle were setting out to rescue Princess {{p|Kirlia}} from an evil {{p|Exploud}}.

A Minun and Plusle appeared in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', where they served as the {{pkmn|movie}}'s comic relief. The pair helped [[Tory Lund]] to overcome his fear of Pokémon. Both briefly reappeared in a montage in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', which chronicled the preceding nine movies.

A Minun and Plusle appeared in ''[[DP161|Yes in Dee Dee, It's Dawn!]]'' and ''[[DP162|Playing the Performance Encore!]]'', under the ownership of [[Ursula]]. Also, in the former episode, one appeared along with a Plusle in {{an|Dawn}}'s flashback when she confessed that, as a child, she had a fear of both of them.

===Minor appearances===
A Minun appeared in [[PK13]].

A Minun had a cameo appearance alongside Plusle in ''[[SS019|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters Out of the Gate!]]'', where they were rescued by [[Team A.C.T.]]

It reappeared in ''[[XY091|A Performance Pop Quiz!]]'' alongside Plusle and its {{pkmn|Trainer}}, where they participated in the [[Anistar City]] Showcase; and again in ''[[XY112|Master Class is in Session!]]'', where it was used in the Master Class Showcase in [[Gloire City]].

A Minun appeared in ''[[PK27|Pikachu and the Pokémon Music Squad]]''. It was among the Pokémon residing in a forest.

==Trivia==
* Minun shares its {{pkmn|category}} with its partner {{p|Plusle}}. They are both known as the Cheering Pokémon.
* Minun and Plusle have the same base stats, although the stat distribution is different with Minun being more defense-oriented and Plusle being more offense-oriented.
* Minun has never appeared in the anime without a Plusle alongside it, unlike Plusle who has appeared alone a few times as [[Solana]]'s {{ra|Partner Pokémon}}.
* Minun's first major appearance in the anime was in episode 312, the same number as its position in the National Pokédex.
* Unused text in {{g|Colosseum}} suggests that a {{pkmn2|Shadow}} Minun was going to appear in the game.
* In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], there are several files for {{sbw|Unused content (SSBB)#Characters|unused playable characters}}. One of these files is named "Pra_Mai", leading some players to speculate that Plusle and Minun were considered to appear as a tag team, like {{sbw|Ice Climbers (SSBB)|Ice Climbers}}.

===Origin===
It appears to be based on a {{wp|cheerleading}} {{wp|mouse}}, {{wp|chipmunk}} or {{wp|rabbit}}. It could also be the incarnation of a negative charge.

====Name origin====
Minun is derived from ''minus'', referring to something with a negative electrical charge.

'''Plusle''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''プラスル''' ''Prasle'') is an {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any Pokémon, it does seem to be related to {{p|Minun}}.

==Biology==
Plusle is cream-colored bipedal Pokémon with red markings. It has a dot-like nose, and a cream-colored plus sign in the middle of its circular red cheeks. It has long, flat ears that are mostly red. Its limbs are stubby and digitless, and it has red front paws. Its short tail is tipped with a red plus sign.

Plusle can create sparkly pom-poms by shorting out the electrical current in its palms. It uses these pom-poms to cheer on its teammates, and will cry loudly if they lose. It climbs telephone poles to absorb electricity. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands and savannas.}}

==Trivia==
* Plusle shares its {{pkmn|category}} with its partner {{p|Minun}}. They are both known as the Cheering Pokémon.
* Plusle and Minun have the same base stat total and the same base stats, although the stat distribution is different with Plusle being more offense-oriented and Minun being more defense-oriented.
* In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], there are several files for {{sbw|Unused content (SSBB)#Characters|unused playable characters}}. One of these files is named "Pra_Mai", leading some players to speculate that Plusle and Minun were considered to appear as a tag team, like {{sbw|Ice Climbers (SSBB)|Ice Climbers}}.

===Origin===
It seems to be based on a {{wp|cheerleading}} {{wp|mouse}}, {{wp|chipmunk}} or {{wp|rabbit}}. It could also be an incarnation of a positive electric charge.

====Name origin====
Plusle and Prasle are derived from プラス ''purasu'', meaning plus, as in something with a positive electrical charge. A partial anagram of ''[[List of references to Pulseman|pulse]]'' may also be present in its name.

'''Manectric''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ライボルト''' ''Livolt'') is an {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Electrike}} starting at [[level]] 26. It can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Manectric''' using the [[Manectite]].

==Biology==
Manectric is a canine, quadruped Pokémon. Its body is mainly blue with a spiky, yellow mane on its head and yellow tufts of fur on its haunches and around its front feet. Its mane sticks straight up and has three points. It has a jagged upper jaw, red eyes, and holes on either side of its head that seem to be its ears. Each of its paws has three claws. Its blue, spike-like tail is bent at a sharp angle.

The yellow mane on Mega Manectric is considerably larger than its previous state. The center spike on its head has shifted, and now forms a large, tilted growth that extends over its snout and has a point on either end. The remaining two head spikes are thinner, longer, and have small, pointed bulbs in place of the earholes. The mane now extends down the length of Mega Manectric's body, forming four additional spikes. One of these spikes extends down past the Pokémon's chest and has points on both ends. The tufts of fur on its haunches are now blue and form more numerous, thinner points. While it retains the yellow tufts around its front feet, they now have two short spikes extending backward. Finally, Mega Manectric lacks the sharply angled tail of its previous state and now has red claws.

Manectric gathers electricity its mane and then discharges it. This process creates thunderclouds, which it uses in battle. Since lightning falls in its vicinity, it is said to have been born from lightning and make its nest where lightning has struck. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands and savannas}}, and often appears in front of people.

==In the anime==
[[File:Officer Jenny Manectric.png|thumb|250px|left|Manectric in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Wattson's Manectric]]====
Manectric made its main series debut under the ownership of [[Wattson]], who obtained it as an {{p|Electrike}} in ''[[AG040|Watt's with Wattson?]]''. It evolved in ''[[AG059|A Manectric Charge]]'', where it battled [[Ash's Torkoal]] and won.

====[[Officer Jenny's Manectric]]====
[[Officer Jenny]]s in the [[Kalos]] [[region]] mostly use Manectric, as {{TP|Officer Jenny|Growlithe}} and {{p|Herdier}} are not native to the region.

====Other====
A Manectric appeared in ''[[DP042|The Electrike Company!]]'', under the ownership of [[Jaco]]. After it evolved from an Electrike and sent {{TRT}} flying, {{OBP|Cal|DP042}} allowed it to bypass an upcoming test and graduate to go on to work for a power generation company.

Five Manectric appeared in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', under the ownership of [[Damos]]. In the original timeline set up by the movie, they were used by Damos, who was under {{m|Hypnosis}}, to attack {{OBP|Arceus|M12}} with {{m|Shock Wave}}.

A Manectric appeared in ''[[XY102|Meeting at Terminus Cave!]]'', under the ownership of [[Celosia]]. It was sent out to pursue [[Squishy]], alongside [[Bryony]]'s {{p|Liepard}}. It was stopped in its tracks by [[Ash's Pikachu]] and {{AP|Greninja}}. After it and Liepard were both overwhelmed by Greninja's Ash-Greninja form, Manectric used {{m|Flash}} to allow [[Team Flare]] to escape.

A Manectric that can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] appeared in ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'', under the control of [[Cherie]]'s Mega Wave. Manectric was used to battle against Pikachu, [[Clemont's Luxray]], and {{OBP|Volcanion|M19}}. It was later freed from Cherie's control when [[Alva]]'s Mega Wave Crystal was destroyed, and it escaped.

==Trivia==
* Mega Manectric is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 575.

===Origin===
It may be based on a {{wp|maned wolf}} and a {{wp|yōkai}} of Japanese lore, the 雷獣 ''{{wp|Raijū}}'', an elemental lightning creature that can take on the shape of various mammals, including a blue {{wp|wolf}} wrapped in white and yellow lightning. Manectric's snout also resembles a {{wp|crocodile clip}}.

====Name origin====
Manectric may be a combination of ''mane'' and ''electric''.

Livolt may be a combination of ''lion'' or ''live'' (referring to a wire actively carrying an electric current) and ''volt''. It may also be a combination of 雷 ''rai'' (thunder) and ''bolt''.

'''Electrike''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ラクライ''' ''Rakurai'') is an {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Manectric}} starting at [[level]] 26.

==Biology==
Electrike is a green, canine Pokémon with yellow markings. It has a large head crest with angular, lightning-like markings on the side. Its snout has a yellow blaze, and four fangs are discernible when its mouth is open. It has a yellow stripe down its back. Each of its four legs has a spike, with the ones on its hind legs being longer. It has yellow crescent-shaped paw pads on its front feet, while the pads on its hind feet are circular. It has a small, pointed, yellow-tipped tail.

Using the electric charge found in its fur, Electrike stimulates its leg muscles and runs faster than the human eye can follow. It uses friction from the atmosphere to generate electricity. Because of this, its body gives off showers of sparks in seasons with arid air or before a storm. As shown [[DP042|in the anime]], using metal brushes to groom the Electrike will cause the metal to conduct the electrical charge in the fur and subsequently shock the handler. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands and savannas}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Wattson Electrike.png|left|thumb|220px|left|Electrike in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Wattson's Electrike]]====
Electrike made its main series debut in ''[[AG040|Watt's with Wattson?]]''. After [[Wattson]] was easily defeated by {{Ash}} during their [[Mauville Gym|Gym]] battle, Wattson needed some time alone. During this, an Electrike came to comfort the [[Mauville City]] [[Gym Leader]]. Wattson decided to keep it as one of his own Pokémon. It later evolved into {{p|Manectric}} in ''[[AG059|Manectric Charge]]''.

====Other====
An Electrike appeared in ''[[DP042|The Electrike Company!]]'', under the ownership of [[Jaco]]. Though Jaco thought that Electrike wasn't that strong and wouldn't pass a test, Ash and friends helped Electrike control its power, resulting in it evolving into a Manectric.

Five Electrike appeared in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', under the ownership of [[Damos]]. In the original timeline set up by the movie, they were used by Damos, who was under {{m|Hypnosis}}, to attack {{OBP|Arceus|M12}} with {{m|Shock Wave}}. When {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} traveled to the past to prevent this, [[Marcus]], the one responsible for hypnotizing Damos, managed to use the Electrike again to attack Arceus.

===Minor appearances===
Two Electrike debuted in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. One was seen with its {{pkmn|Trainer}} in the opening sequence of the movie, while another was one of the residents of [[Forina]], {{OBP|Jirachi|M06}}'s home.

A {{pkmn|Coordinator}}'s Electrike appeared in ''[[AG050|Pros and Con Artists]]''.

A Coordinator's Electrike appeared in ''[[AG121|Hi Ho Silver Wind!]]''.

An Electrike appeared in the opening sequence of ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''.

A {{pkmn2|wild}} Electrike appeared in ''[[DP088|Camping It Up!]]''

An Electrike appeared in [[SS027]].

An Electrike appeared in ''[[XY048|A Campus Reunion!]]''.

Multiple Electrike appeared in ''[[XY062|The Future Is Now, Thanks to Determination!]]'', where they were among the {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} being controlled by {{TRT}}.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Wattson's Electrike}}
{{main|Élec}}

In ''[[PS204|Plugging Past Electrike I]]'', [[Wattson]] owned an Electrike, which later evolved into a {{TP|Wattson|Manectric}}.

An Electrike, nicknamed Rikelec (Japanese: '''ライガン''' ''Raigan''), under the ownership of Chance (Japanese: '''ノブヒロ''' ''Nobuhiro''), appeared while {{adv|Ruby}} was participating in a Pokémon Contest in ''[[PS200|Tripped Up by Torkoal]]''.

Multiple Electrike were among the {{type|Electric}} Pokémon that charged the [[Prism Tower]] during a blackout in ''[[PAXY10|Pangoro Poses a Problem]]''.

One of these Electrike that supplied power to the Prism Tower witnessed {{adv|X}} activate a [[Mega Evolution]] during a battle inside the Tower itself. He then followed X's group and evolved into a Manectric shortly before joining X's team, being named [[Élec]].

===In the Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire manga===

==Trivia==
* Electrike shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Jolteon}} in the English translation. They are both known as the Lightning Pokémon.

===Origin===
Electrike may be based on a {{wp|maned wolf}} pup and a {{wp|yōkai}} of Japanese lore, the 雷獣 ''{{wp|Raijū}}'', an elemental lightning creature that can take on the shape of various mammals.

====Name origin====
Electrike may be a combination of ''electric'' and ''strike''.

Rakurai literally means 落雷 (bolt of lightning).

'''Delcatty''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エネコロロ''' ''Enekororo'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Skitty}} when exposed to a [[Moon Stone]].

==Biology==
Delcatty is a quadruped, feline Pokémon with a mostly tan body. It has a pointed, whisker-like protrusion on each cheek. Its purple ears have three tufts of fur at the tips, and there is a purple ruff-like collar with pin-like extensions around its neck. It has slim legs with tiny, digitless paws. It also possesses a purple, flower-like tuft of hair on the end of its thin tail.

Delcatty is happy most of the time and rarely gets involved in conflicts. When it is disturbed, it just moves to another area instead of fighting. It prefers to do as it pleases at its own pace, so its daily routine is random. It is popular among female Trainers, and used in competitions for its style and sublime fur. It is nocturnal and active at dusk. Being the result of an evolution via [[evolutionary stone]], Delcatty is rarely found in the wild, though they can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|tropical and temperate forests}}. It does not have a permanent nest, and instead finds comfortable spots to sleep.

==Trivia==
* As of [[Generation VII]], Delcatty's {{EV}} yield (1 HP, 1 Speed) is unique.

===Origin===
Delcatty is based on a domestic cat. It may also draw inspiration from {{wp|lynx}}es, cats with a ruffed face and tufted ears. Delcatty's collar resembles an {{wp|Orthopedic pillow|orthopedic neck pillow}}, which could be a reference to the fact that it sleeps whenever and wherever it decides.

====Name origin====
Delcatty is a combination of ''delicate'' and ''catty''.

Enekororo is a combination of 狗尾草 ''enokorogusa'' ({{wp|Foxtail (diaspore)|foxtail grass}}), 猫 ''neko'' ({{wp|cat}}), and 心 ''kokoro'' (heart).

'''Skitty''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エネコ''' ''Eneco'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Delcatty}} when exposed to a [[Moon Stone]].

==Biology==
Skitty is a pink, feline Pokémon with a stumpy body and four short legs. On its face is a cream-colored, crescent-shaped marking. It has slit-like eyes and tufted ears with purple interiors. Its slender tail has a bulky pink section at the end, terminated by three pin-like structures with yellow ball-like tips. In battle, its tail puffs out, and threatens opponents with a sharp growl.

It is fascinated by moving objects, and chases them. It is known to chase its own tail and become dizzy from it. Although it can be difficult to earn its trust, it is very popular due to its adorable looks and behavior. It can use the moves of other Pokémon through the use of {{m|Assist}}, its former [[signature move]]. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|holes in trees in tropical and temperate forests.}}

* The [[Fluffy Tail]] item resembles Skitty's tail.
* Skitty is the only {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}} that evolves via [[Moon Stone]].

===Origin===
Skitty is based on a {{wp|kitten}} with its tail resembling {{wp|Foxtail (diaspore)|foxtail grass}} or a pin holder.

====Name origin====
Skitty is a combination of ''skittish'' and ''kitty'' (slang for ''{{wp|cat}}'').

Eneco is a combination of 狗尾草 ''enokorogusa'' ({{wp|Foxtail (diaspore)|foxtail grass}}, a type of plant that Skitty's tail resembles) and 猫 ''neko'' (cat).

'''Shedinja''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヌケニン''' ''Nukenin'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It is considered a special evolution of {{p|Nincada}}, appearing only when Nincada [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Ninjask}} starting at [[level]] 20, as long as there is an extra space in the player's [[party]] and an extra {{i|Poké Ball}} in the player's bag. An extra Poké Ball is not necessary to obtain Shedinja in Generation III.

==Biology==
Shedinja is a Pokémon based on a cicada's shed exoskeleton. Most of its body is light brown, but the abdomen is gray. It has four protrusions on its underside instead of legs; the top pair is brown, while the lower is gray. There are round protrusions on the side of its head with narrow slits for eyes. Two lines encircle its abdomen and a white halo floats above its head. On its back is a pair of tattered wings divided into three wingtips. A hole between its wings reveals that its body is completely hollow and dark, as it possesses no internal organs. It is said that looking into this empty space will steal one's spirit. Its shell is very hard, which gives it strong defense but renders it incapable of movement. It does not breathe and floats without moving its wings. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|tropical and temperate forests}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Hansen Shedinja.png|thumb|left|210px|Shedinja in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Major appearances===
Shedinja debuted in ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'', under the ownership of [[Colonel Hansen]]. It was his main battling Pokémon. It reappeared in ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]'', where it was eventually defeated by [[Misty's Gyarados]]'s {{m|Flamethrower}}.

===Minor appearances===
A {{pkmn|Coordinator}}'s Shedinja made cameos in ''[[AG121|Hi Ho Silver Wind!]]'' and ''[[AG122|Deceit and Assist]]'', where it was seen competing in the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]]. Another Shedinja also appeared in a cameo in a visualization in the former episode.

A Coordinator's Shedinja appeared in ''[[AG143|The Saffron Con]]''.

A {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Shedinja appeared in ''[[XY077|A Relay in the Sky!]]'', where it was a participant in the [[Pokémon Sky Relay]]. It was in a team also consisting of {{p|Vibrava}} and {{p|Ninjask}}.

{{Animedexbody|AG044|Shedinja|May's Pokédex|Shedinja, the Shed Pokémon. Shedinja possesses a hard, powerful body, giving it {{a|Wonder Guard|strong defenses}}.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Advanced Generation''|Hoenn}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Amber Shedinja Adventures.png|thumb|125px|Shedinja in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Shedinja first appeared in ''[[PS246|Can I Ninjask You a Question?]]'', when [[Aqua Admin Amber]], having been deprived of his Pokémon after being abandoned by [[Archie]], borrowed a Nincada from his comrade [[Shelly]], which then immediately evolves into a {{p|Ninjask}}, putting [[Wattson]] in quite a pinch with the incredible speed it gained by the minute. Although the old Gym Leader eventually managed to defeat it, a Shedinja formed from the shell Ninjask shed and attacked him from behind, sending him sinking into the ocean.

In ''[[PS317|Sneaky Like Shedinja]]'', {{FB|Arena Tycoon|Greta}} used Shedinja to exploit its {{a|Wonder Guard}} [[Ability]], as well as the fact that it has one base HP, requiring no items to resuscitate itself.

In ''[[PS311|A Dust-Up With Dusclops]]'', a Shedinja was used by {{adv|Emerald}} in his [[Battle Pyramid]] challenge.

A student's Shedinja appeared in ''[[PS530|Movie Panic]]''.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Shedinja (TCG)}}

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Shedinja appears as a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}}. In the Spirit Battle, Shedinja, depicted as a yellow Mr. Game & Watch, has only 1 HP, but Wonder Guard is depicted as giving Shedinja complete invincibility for 90% of the match. However, the invincibility is disabled periodically for about a second, allowing the player to KO Shedinja with just one hit.

Shedinja can also be damaged by {{m|Struggle}} and any of the [[Shadow move]]s from [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and {{Pokémon XD}}. The moves {{m|Beat Up}}, {{m|Future Sight}}, and {{m|Doom Desire}} can hit Shedinja prior to [[Generation V]].

In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]], the standard A-button tackle will do one HP damage. In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], foe Shedinja always has a maximum of 5 HP, whereas in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Explorers of Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]], foe Shedinja always has a maximum of 10 HP. However, as a team member, Shedinja's HP is not capped.

==Trivia==
* From [[Generation IV]] onwards, a basic {{i|Poké Ball}} (a requirement for evolution) is removed from the [[Bag]] upon evolution to produce a Shedinja. In [[Generation III]], Shedinja instead copied the ball Nincada was in; this is the only legitimate way to get a Shedinja in a non-standard Poké Ball.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Shedinja.
* Shedinja has the lowest base stat total of all {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon, and the lowest base {{stat|Special Defense}} stat of all Ghost-type Pokémon.
* Shedinja is the only evolved Pokémon that has a lower base stat total than its {{p|Nincada|pre-evolved form}}.
* Shedinja is one of only three Pokémon (other than [[baby Pokémon]]) to have a different [[Egg Group]] than its evolutionary relatives, being in the {{egg3|Mineral}} while {{p|Nincada}} and {{p|Ninjask}} are in the {{egg3|Bug}}. (The other two Pokémon that share this trait are {{p|Nidorina}} and {{p|Nidoqueen}}, which are both in the {{egg|Undiscovered}} group.) However, because it {{egg|Gender unknown|has no gender}}, it cannot breed with Pokémon other than {{p|Ditto}}.
* Shedinja inherits the same game of origin, [[personality value]], {{IV}}s, {{EV}}s, [[original Trainer|OT]], [[Trainer ID number|Trainer ID number and Secret ID number]], and met location as the Nincada that shed it. It also inherits the [[Pokérus]] if the Nincada had it. Among other things, due to keeping the same game of origin, personality value, and Trainer and Secret ID numbers, Shedinja will be Shiny if and only if the Nincada was {{Shiny}}.
* The Shedinja shed from a Nincada has no [[nickname]], and the player is not given an opportunity to nickname it. The only way to give Shedinja a nickname is for the Nincada's original Trainer to take it to a [[Name Rater]].
* Shedinja's {{a|Wonder Guard}} Ability renders it immune to 13 of 18 attack types, the most of any Pokémon; four of these immunities (to {{t|Ice}}, {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Steel}}, and {{t|Fairy}}) are entirely unique to Shedinja. This also gives it a few further distinctions:
** Even if it is affected by {{m|Foresight}} or {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, Shedinja is still immune to {{t|Normal}} and {{type|Fighting}} attacks.
** Shedinja is immune to all [[one-hit knockout move]]s, unless a Pokémon with {{a|Aerilate}} uses {{m|Guillotine}} or {{m|Horn Drill}}.
**Shedinja is the only Pokémon immune to {{t|Ground}} attacks during {{m|Gravity}}, as well as {{m|Thousand Arrows}}.
** If {{m|Soak}} is used to make Shedinja a {{t|Water}} type, it will have immunities to 16 of 18 attack types.
* Prior to [[Generation V]], if Nincada learns a move upon evolving into {{p|Ninjask}}, Shedinja will also know this move. This means that Shedinja can learn any of Ninjask's level up moves starting at level 20, but can only simultaneously have multiple of them if they are learned at the same level. From Generation V onward, Shedinja starts with the moves Nincada knew prior to evolution.
* Shedinja is the only genderless Pokémon that can learn Egg Moves (as a Nincada). {{p|Staryu}} and {{p|Starmie}} have [[Egg Move]]s programmed into their data in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, but there is no way for them to learn these moves.
* Even though looking into the crack on Shedinja's back is said to steal one's spirit, all of Shedinja's back sprites display it perfectly, yet no negative effects happen to the {{player}} in-game.
* Shedinja is the only Pokémon in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]] to be able to change its name.
* In [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], wild Shedinja will spawn on any tile where a wild Nincada was defeated after several turns have passed. They move once every two turns and do not attack. Additionally, other wild Pokémon will try to attack the wild Shedinja if they are nearby, allowing them to evolve without defeating the player or their allies if they succeed in causing it to faint.
* Shedinja is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 236.

===1 HP trivia===
Shedinja has many unique characteristics derived from the fact that it has only 1 HP:
* Shedinja is the only Pokémon to have a stat not calculated by the [[Statistic#In Generation III onward|standard formula]]; if it were, Shedinja would have at least 11 HP even at [[level]] 1.
* Shedinja is the only Pokémon that cannot gain any additional HP {{EV}}s.
** In [[Generation VI]], {{EV}}s in HP can be earned from [[Super Training]], though they have no effect for Shedinja.
* Having only 1 HP, Shedinja's {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} stats normally have no practical purpose in battle. However, if Shedinja receives a {{m|substitute}} through Baton Pass, its Defense and Special Defense are factored into damage the substitute takes. Shedinja's Defense and Special Defense stats also become relevant if a Pokémon uses {{m|Transform}} on it or if Shedinja uses {{m|Power Trick}} (via {{m|Mimic}}), or if an opponent has {{a|Download}}
* From [[Generation IV]] onward, Shedinja is the only Pokémon that can knock itself out from full health with the recoil damage from {{m|Struggle}}.
* Outside of battle, Shedinja immediately recovers from {{status|poison}} after four steps in [[Generation IV]]; in [[Generation III]], it will immediately faint after four steps.
* Despite it being able to learn {{m|Substitute}}, {{m|Bide}}, and {{m|Rest}}, they will always fail; consequently, the only way Shedinja can have a substitute is via {{m|Baton Pass}}.
* Although Shedinja can learn {{m|Sandstorm}}, it cannot normally use it without making itself faint without [[Safety Goggles]].
* If Shedinja uses {{m|Pain Split}} (via Mimic), it will cut the target's HP in half, similarly to {{m|Super Fang}}.
* Shedinja is the only Pokémon that has its HP restored to maximum when leveled up with a {{DL|Vitamin|Rare Candy}} (prior to [[Generation VI]]) or revived with a {{DL|Revive|Revive}}.
* In [[Generation V]] onward, if a Shedinja has {{a|Sturdy}} (for example, being hit by {{m|Worry Seed}} followed by {{m|Skill Swap}} with something with Sturdy), it can survive any damaging move or {{status|confusion}} damage.
* If a Shedinja is holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Focus Sash}}, it can survive any single damaging move (unless it's multi-hit) or instance of {{status|confusion}} damage.
* Shedinja is the only Pokémon that will never recover HP using an {{cat|HP-draining moves|HP-draining move}}.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Nincada, Ninjask and Shedinja}}
It is based on the {{wp|Exuvia|shed husk}} that {{wp|cicada}}s leave behind when they finish their {{wp|metamorphosis}} into adults. Concerning its species' ninja theme, it also appears to be a reference to the fabled ninjutsu technique 空蝉 ''utsusemi'', where a ninja uses a dummy or replica of itself to evade and escape from threats, and where its namesake also alludes to the cast off shed husk of a cicada. It may also be based on a guardian angel, due to the halo-like object floating above its head. Its Ability {{a|Wonder Guard}} probably alludes to this.

====Name origin====
Shedinja is a combination of ''shed'' (to cast off skin or exoskeleton) and ''{{wp|ninja}}''.

Nukenin is a pun on 抜け忍 ''nukenin,'' a term for ninja who have abandoned their clan and lord. It also combines 抜け殻 ''nukegara'' (casting off skin) and ''ninja''.

'''Ninjask''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''テッカニン''' ''Tekkanin'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Nincada}} starting at [[level]] 20. This evolution can trigger the creation of a second Pokémon, {{p|Shedinja}}, when the player has an extra {{i|Poké Ball}} and an extra slot in their [[party]].

==Biology==
Ninjask is a small, cicada-like Pokémon with two pairs of wings. Its body is mostly black with accents of yellow and gray. Most of its head is yellow, but there is a solid band of black between its gleaming red eyes. The band expands into a circular pattern on its forehead, between two pointed crests on the sides of its head. The underside of its head is gray and segmented, making it somewhat resemble a veil. On its back is a patch of black with a stretch of yellow, shaped like an upside down letter Y. Most of its carapace and abdomen is black, but there is a ring of yellow near the tip. Its gray insectoid arms extend from its chest, and usually have their small, yellow claws turned inward. There is a similar pair of back legs. It has large, veined wings with triangular, red tipping.

Ninjask is a very fast Pokémon that is said to be able to evade any attack, and was long believed to be invisible due to its high speed. If it is not trained properly, it will refuse to obey its Trainer and cry loudly. Due to this, it is said to put the Trainer's abilities to the test. Hearing its loud cries for too long induces a headache. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|tropical and temperate forests,}} where it congregates around tree sap to feed.

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
[[File:Sky Relay Ninjask.png|250px|thumb|left|Ninjask in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
====Major appearances====
Two Ninjask debuted in ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'' and ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage]]'', under the ownership of [[Colonel Hansen]]. Along with a {{p|Shedinja}}, they were his main Pokémon.

A Ninjask appeared in ''[[AG156|From the Cradle to Save]]'', under the ownership of [[Evian]]. He used it as his partner-in-training. It was first used to search for [[Angela]]'s {{p|Kecleon}} after she assigned {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} to search for it. Later, it was captured by {{TRT}}, but was freed by [[Ash's Grovyle]].

A Ninjask appeared in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]'', under the ownership of {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}. It was used against Ash at the [[Battle Pyramid]]. Ninjask battled {{AP|Squirtle}} but was eventually defeated.

Multiple Ninjask appeared in ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'', under the ownership of [[Goone]]. They were used for various tasks, such as capturing and transporting Pokémon to attacking larger Pokémon en masse.

A Ninjask appeared in a flashback in ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze!]]'', where it was revealed to have been {{pkmn2|caught}} by [[Paul]] at some point during his {{pkmn|journey}}. It physically appeared in ''[[DP187|A Real Rival Rouser!]]'', where Paul used it during his [[Full Battle]] against Ash in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]. Ninjask faced off against {{AP|Gliscor}} before Gliscor was [[recall]]ed and {{AP|Infernape}} was sent out in its place. It eventually lost to Infernape.

====Minor appearances====
A Ninjask appeared in ''[[AG080|That's Just Swellow]]'' as one of the participants of the [[Crossgate PokéRinger]] competition.

A Ninjask appeared in the opening sequence of ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''.

'''Nincada''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ツチニン''' ''Tutinin'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Ninjask}} starting at [[level]] 20. Additionally, if the {{player}} has a spare slot in the [[party]] and an extra {{i|Poké Ball}}, a {{p|Shedinja}} will appear in the player's party when Nincada evolves. An extra Poké Ball is not necessary to obtain Shedinja in Generation III.

==Biology==
Nincada is a small, whitish, insectoid Pokémon. It has a pointed snout, a thin stripe that dips in a V-shaped pattern between its eyes, and two whisker-like antennae on its face. Its eyes are black with green iris-like rings inside. As it is virtually blind, it uses its antennae to sense its surroundings. On its back is a pair of small, green wings. Its hind legs are white, but the forelegs are brown and have sharp claws. The claws are used to carve the roots of tree and absorb moisture and nutrients. Nincada builds underground nests at the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|roots of trees in tropical and temperate forests.}} It does not like sunlight, so it avoids it.

==In the anime==

===Major appearances===
Nincada debuted in ''[[AG027|A Three Team Scheme]]''. It belonged to a boy named [[Keanu]], who lived in his [[Secret Base]] in solitude. It later became a target for one of {{TRT}}'s schemes.

===Minor appearances===
A Nincada appeared in ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! (Part 1)]]'', where [[Kellyn]] used his [[Capture Styler]] on it and had it {{m|Dig}} a pit trap for [[J's henchmen]] to fall in.

==In the manga==

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
A Nincada belonging to {{tc|Aqua Admin}} [[Shelly]] appeared in ''[[PS246|Can I Ninjask You a Question?]]'', where it was given to fellow admin [[Aqua Admin Amber|Amber]]. Amber's new Pokémon soon evolved into {{p|Ninjask}}, leaving behind a {{p|Shedinja}}, as well.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Vigoroth}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Slakoth}}.

==Biology==
Slaking is a large, bulky, ape-like bipedal Pokémon. Most of its shaggy fur is brown, along with the semi-circle patterning under its eyes. Its face, chest, hands, and feet are lighter in color. Its brows are thick and jutting, and it has a large, pink, pig-like nose. Around its neck is a white collar of fur that extends over the top of its head before ending in a small tuft. It has large, five-fingered hands and two-toed feet.

During most of the day, Slaking lolls around and sleeps. It is considered the laziest Pokémon, but even when it is lounging it's saving energy. It can exert a lot of power by releasing built up energy all at once, and can regain lost energy through the use of its former [[signature move]], {{m|Slack Off}}. Slaking lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|tropical forests,}} where it feeds on grass and ripened fruit that falls from trees. It only moves around when there is no more food within reach for it to eat.

====Major appearances====
=====[[Norman's Slaking]]=====
Slaking debuted in ''[[AG069|Love, Petalburg Style]]'', belonging to {{an|May}}'s father, [[Norman]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Petalburg City]]. In [[AG070|the following episode]], [[Ash's Grovyle]] defeated it during a [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}, winning {{Ash}} the {{badge|Balance}}. Slaking appeared again in ''[[DP079|Strategy With a Smile!]]'', where it was seen watching the [[Wallace Cup]] on television with Norman.

=====Other=====
Multiple Slaking appeared in ''[[AG179|Slaking Kong]]'', where they played a major role.

A Slaking debuted in ''[[XY126|Valuable Experience for All!]]'', under the ownership of [[Sawyer]]. He used it in the [[Lumiose Conference]], during which it defeated a Trainer's {{p|Medicham}}. It was later used in ''[[XY127|Analysis Versus Passion!]]'' during Sawyer's [[Full Battle]] against {{Ash}}, where it defeated {{AP|Hawlucha}} before losing to {{AP|Talonflame}}.

====Minor appearances====
A Slaking appeared in the opening sequence of ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''.

A {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Slaking appeared in ''[[BW134|The Journalist from Another Region!]]'', where it was entered in the [[Pokémon Sumo Tournament]] on [[Harvest Island]]. It was [[Ash's Pignite]]'s second opponent, and it lost due to not even trying to make an effort in the battle.

==In the manga==
[[File:Norman Slaking Adventures.png|thumb|230px|Slaking in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Norman's Slaking}}
[[Norman]]'s signature Pokémon is a {{TP|Norman|Slaking}}, who first appeared in ''[[PS186|Brushing Past Breloom]]''. Although it would seem that his {{a|Truant|Ability}} would be of major hindrance, he shows that by having a {{p|Spinda}} tag alongside him and use {{m|Skill Swap}} in times of need, his impressive strength and speed would be wielded to their maximum. Additionally, the move {{m|Bulk Up}} allows him to bolster his stats even more.

{{adv|Emerald}} used a Slaking during his {{gdis|Battle Factory|III}} challenge in ''[[PS306|Pinsir Me, I Must Be Dreaming]]''. Thanks to {{m|Slack Off}}, it was able to outlast a {{p|Hitmonlee}} despite its type and speed disadvantages. After the battle, it was swapped with a {{p|Linoone}}.

The Battle Factory rented a Slaking, which was stolen by [[Guile Hideout]] in ''[[PS315|Skirting Around Surskit I]]''.

[[Palace Maven Spenser]] used a Slaking against the young boy in ''[[PS325|Standing in the Way with Starmie]]'', but their {{pkmn|battle}} was not seen.

A Slaking appeared in a flashback as one of the Pokémon trained by the [[International Police]] in ''[[PS528|Innocent Scientist]]''.

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
Slaking was owned by [[Rydel's rival]] in ''[[PMRS17|Serious Bicycle Match!]]''.

==Trivia==
* Slaking has several similarities to {{p|Regigigas}}. They are both {{t|Normal}} types, have hindering abilities ({{a|Truant}} and {{a|Slow Start}}), have the highest base {{stat|Attack}} stat of all {{type|Normal}} Pokémon, and have the same base stat totals.
* A {{DL|List of unused Pokémon and character designs|Godzillante & Gorillaimo|pre-alpha sketch}} from the development of ''[[Capsule Monsters]]'' depicts a Pokémon that bears a slight resemblance to Slaking.

===Origin===
It appears to draw inspiration from {{wp|sloth}}s and some form of {{wp|ape}}. The inspiration from sloths makes it somewhat resemble a ''{{wp|Megatherium}}'', also known as the Giant Ground Sloth; however, it more closely resembles a {{wp|gorilla}}.

====Name origin====
Slaking is a combination of ''slake'' (to slacken) or a corruption of ''slack'' (to become lazy) and ''king''. It may also be a play on ''slacking''.

Kekking may be a combination of 欠勤 ''kekkin'' (not showing up for work) and ''king''.

'''Slakoth''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ナマケロ''' ''Namakero'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Vigoroth}} starting at [[level]] 18, which evolves into {{p|Slaking}} starting at [[level]] 36.

==Biology==
Slakoth is a brown, quadruped Pokémon with sloth-like qualities. It has coarse, shaggy fur with two dark brown stripes on its back. There is a scruff of fur on top of its head, and it has a large, pig-like pink nose, pink eyelids, and dark rings around its eyes. It has long, lanky arms, but shorter legs. Each paw has two sharp claws, and there are pink paw pads on the back feet. Its underbelly and read are also pink.

Slakoth lolls around and sleeps for more than twenty hours a day, which can make those around it drowsy. Since it does not move very much, it does not need much food and only eats three leaves each day. Its heart only beats once a minute. It is capable of regaining lost energy through use of its former [[signature move]], {{m|Slack Off}}. It makes its nest in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|tropical forests,}} and keeps the same one during its entire life. However, it can travel far by swimming in rivers.

==In the anime==
[[File:Marcel Slakoth.png|thumb|210px|left|Slakoth in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Major appearances===
Slakoth physically debuted in ''[[AG069|Love, Petalburg Style]]'' and ''[[AG070|Balance of Power]]'', under the ownership of [[Norman]]. It was used in his [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} against {{Ash}}, where it battled {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{AP|Torkoal}}. It proved to be a strong battler against Pikachu with its powerful {{m|Blizzard}} attack, but it lost to Torkoal's {{m|Flamethrower}}.

Multiple Slakoth appeared in ''[[AG088|The Garden of Eatin']]''. They lived in the [[Banana Slakoth Garden]], which is run by [[Marcel]]. A {{p|Snorlax}} was eating all of the bananas in the garden and no one was able to stop it until one of the Slakoth in the garden evolved into {{p|Vigoroth}} and defeated it.

===Minor appearances===
Slakoth debuted in [[Max]]'s flashback in ''[[AG034|Having a Wailord of a Time]]''.

A Slakoth appeared in ''[[AG119|The Ribbon Cup Caper]]'' at the [[S.S. St. Flower]]'s [[Pokémon Center]].

A Slakoth appeared in ''[[DP029|The Champ Twins!]]''.

A Slakoth appeared in ''[[DP088|Camping It Up!]]'', where {{OBP|Mitchell|DP088}} used it during the first activity of the [[Pokémon Summer Academy]].

A Slakoth appeared in ''[[DP090|Ghoul Daze!]]''.

A {{pkmn|Coordinator}}'s Slakoth appeared in ''[[DP162|Playing the Performance Encore!]]'', where it was used in the [[Contest Battle|Battle Stage]] of the {{to|Daybreak}} {{pkmn|Contest}} along with a {{p|Shroomish}}.

A Slakoth appeared in ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]''.

In ''[[PS264|It All Ends Now V]]'', [[Norman]] was seen with two Slakoth that he used to try to stop {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}} from fleeing from its confines.

A Slakoth appeared in ''[[PS525|The Transfer Student]]''.

===In the Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire manga===
In the [[Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire]] manga, Norman owns a Slakoth. In ''[[PMRS04|There's Someone More Important Than Clefairy?!]]'', it swallows the {{badge|Balance}} and [[Red's Clefairy]] helps to retrieve it from its stomach.

==Trivia==
* Slakoth is one of fourteen Pokémon that one could collect [[foreign Pokédex entries]] for in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.

===Origin===
As its name implies, it appears to have been based on sloths, specifically two-toed sloths.

====Name origin====
Slakoth may be a combination of ''slack'' (to be lazy) and ''{{wp|sloth}}'' as well as a play on the phrase "to slack off."

Namakero may be a combination of 樹懶 ''namakemono'' (sloth) and なまける ''namakeru'' (slack off).

'''Breloom''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キノガッサ''' ''Kinogassa'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Shroomish}} starting at [[level]] 23.

==Biology==
Breloom is a bipedal, mushroom-like Pokémon with some kangaroo-like qualities. Most of its body is green, but its head to its neck and its tail are beige. On top of its head is a green, mushroom-like cap with beige gills underneath and a round, red berry-like growth with a hole in the middle on either side. It has oval, black eyes, a beak-like mouth, and frilled segments around the base of its neck. There are two red claws on each of its hands and feet. At the end of its tail, there are seed clusters made of hardened toxic spores that are horrible to eat.

Breloom can stretch its short arms to deliver fast punches. Additionally, it has light, springy footwork that allows it to get close to opponents. Another way it closes in on opponents is by incapacitating them with spores released from the holes in its cap. Its technique is equal to that of professional boxers. It prefers to live in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|tropical forests,}} where it feeds on decomposing trees and plants.

==In the anime==

====Major appearances====
Breloom appeared in ''[[AG082|A Shroomish Skirmish]]'', where they attacked {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} after [[Evolution|evolving]] from Shroomish and were furious at {{TRT}} for stealing their {{pkmn|food}}. {{an|May}}'s newly evolved {{TP|May|Combusken}} took on the leader Breloom in a vicious hand-to-hand fight and suddenly declared a truce between them, saving the day.

A Breloom debuted in ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]'', under the ownership of {{si|Kenny}}. It was used in a {{pkmn|battle}} against [[Ash's Turtwig]].

==Trivia==
* Breloom and its {{p|Shroomish|pre-evolved form}} share their species name with {{p|Paras}}, {{p|Parasect}}, {{p|Foongus}}, and {{p|Amoonguss}}. They are all known as the Mushroom Pokémon.

===Origin===
Breloom is based on a {{wp|mushroom}}, specially {{wp|agaric}} types. Because many of Breloom's localized names seem to reference hats, its {{t|Fighting}} type might be related to various sorts of {{wp|Kasa (hat)|traditional Asian hats}}, some used by monks, samurais, and soldiers. Since Breloom's body structure resembles that of a {{wp|kangaroo}}, its Fighting type could also be related to the {{wp|boxing kangaroo}}.

The shapes of its head and tail resemble that of the armored {{wp|dinosaurs}} ''{{wp|Pachycephalosaurus}}'' and ''{{wp|Ankylosaurus}}'', respectively.

====Name origin====
Breloom may be a combination of ''{{wp|umbrella}}'' and ''{{wp|mushroom}}''. In Latin, ''bellum'' means ''war'', perhaps a nod to its Fighting type.

Kinogassa may be a combination of 茸 ''kinoko'' (mushroom) and 笠 {{wp|Kasa (hat)|''kasa''}} or 傘 ''kasa'' (umbrella). It may also involve a corruption of 衣笠茸 {{wp|Phallus indusiatus|''kinugasatake''}}.
