'''Charizard''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''リザードン''' ''Lizardon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

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

Charizard has three forms:
* It can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Charizard X''' using the [[Charizardite X]] or '''Mega Charizard Y''' using the [[Charizardite Y]].
* It can [[Gigantamax]] into '''Gigantamax Charizard''' if it has the {{DL|Gigantamax|Gigantamax Factor}}.

Charizard is the [[game mascot]] of {{game|Red and Green|s|Pokémon Red Version}}, its {{game|Red and Blue|s|international counterpart}}, and its [[remake]], {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|Pokémon FireRed Version}}, appearing on the boxart of all three games.

Along with {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Talonflame}}, and {{p|Decidueye}}, Charizard is one of the [[List of the player's first Pokémon|first Pokémon]] available through [[Unite license]]s in {{g|UNITE}} as of version 1.12.1.2.

==Biology==
Charizard is a {{wp|dragon|draconic}}, bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It is primarily orange with a cream underside from the chest to the tip of its tail. It has a long neck, small blue eyes, slightly raised nostrils, and two horn-like structures protruding from the back of its rectangular head. Two fangs are visible in its upper jaw when its mouth is closed. Two large wings with blue-green undersides sprout from its back, and a horn-like appendage juts out from the top of the third joint of each wing. A single wing finger is visible through the center of each wing membrane. Charizard's arms are short and skinny compared to its robust belly, and each limb has three white claws. In {{g|Red and Green Versions}}, Charizard is seemingly shown holding a fireball, implying that it's capable of manipulating its flames using its hands; this is seen in media where it uses {{m|Fire Punch}}. It has stocky legs with cream-colored soles on each of its {{wp|plantigrade}} feet. The tip of its long, tapering tail burns with a sizable flame, which can intensify to a blue flame if Charizard is irritated.

Charizard flies in search of powerful opponents to battle, and its fire will burn hotter as it gains experience. Its fiery breath can melt boulders and massive glaciers and has been known to cause forest fires accidentally. Though its fiery breath is hot, it never turns it on any opponent weaker than itself. In the {{aniseries|GS}} episode ''[[EP134|Charizard's Burning Ambitions]]'', it is established that only a weak Charizard would show off its power. Its wings can carry it to an altitude of 4,600 feet (1,400 meters), but [[An Illustrated Book of POCKET MONSTERS]] notes that its droppings were found on {{wp|Mt. Fuji}}, implying it could fly thrice as high. In the {{aniseries|OS}} episode ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'', it was shown that Charizard is vulnerable to having its tail flame going out in the same way as {{p|Charmander}}, as [[Ash Ketchum]] warns [[Ash's Charizard|his Charizard]] to not let its flame go out. However, the side story episode ''[[HS17|Those Darn Electabuzz!]]'' showed that Charizard can swim underwater, with [[Pokémon Origins]] further showing that the flame on the tip of the tail can still keep burning underwater. Charizard typically inhabits {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountains and valleys}}, such as the [[Charicific Valley]] in [[Johto]]. However, Charizard can also live in volcanoes, forming packs with other members of its family, including {{p|Charmander}}. In [[Pokémon Snap]], it's shown that Charizard is fully capable of living inside lava within volcanic craters. In {{g|Sleep}}, as well as media like the {{pkmn|animated series}}, Charizard is known to sleep in an incredibly relaxed position, as it is very confident in its power. A Charizard sleeping flat on its back may be an indicator of that Charizard being especially strong.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>

Even though Charizard originally couldn't learn the [[move]] {{m|Fly}}, [[Pokémon Trainer]]s have been shown riding Charizard in official artwork dating back to the 1997 [[Bandai Pokémon Carddass Cards|Carddass Trading Cards]]. Ash himself was shown riding his Charizard already in the [[S02|second season]] of the [[original series]] of ''Pokémon the Series''. Eventually, in {{game|Yellow}}, Charizard became able to learn Fly and has since been frequently depicted as a Pokémon able to carry people on its back to fly them to distant areas. In [[Alola]], Charizard is a [[Poké Ride|Ride Pokémon]] called Charizard Glide, being used by the natives to fly around the region or make deliveries.

===Forms===
[[File:Mega Charizard X Mega Charizard Y artwork 2.png|left|thumb|250px|Mega Charizard X and Mega Charizard Y.]]
Charizard has three alternate forms: [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Charizard X, Mega Charizard Y, and [[Gigantamax]] Charizard.

Both of Charizard's Mega Evolutions feature a shorter snout, white, vertical slit pupils, and a bright underside reaching the lower jaw.

====Mega Charizard X====
As Mega Charizard X, its body and legs are more physically fit, though its arms remain thin. Its skin turns black with a sky-blue underside and soles. Two spikes with blue tips curve upward from the front and back of each shoulder, while the tips of its horns sharpen, turn blue, and curve slightly upward. Its brow and claws are larger, and its eyes are now red. It has two small, fin-like spikes under each horn and two more down its lower neck. The finger disappears from the wing membrane, and the lower edges are divided into large, rounded points. The third joint of each wing-arm is adorned with a claw-like spike. It breathes blue flames out the sides of its mouth, and the flame on its tail now burns blue consistently.

The overwhelming power of Mega Evolution causes Mega Charizard X's body to turn black and its intense flames to become blue and burn hotter.<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Mega%20Charizard%20X Mega Charizard X | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160219212327/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Mega%20Charizard%20X archived])</ref><ref name=MEgaCharizardXY>[https://pokemonletsgo.pokemon.com/en-gb/story/#:~:text=Mega%20Charizard%20X%20/%20Mega%20Charizard%20Y Mega Charizard X / Mega Charizard Y | Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon Let's Go, Eevee!]</ref>

====Mega Charizard Y====
As Mega Charizard Y, it becomes sleeker in appearance but retains its normal coloration. It has three pointed horns on the back of its head, the middle of which is longer. Its snout has larger fangs and a ridge on the nose. Its neck is shorter, but its torso is thinner and longer. It features longer {{wp|digitigrade}} feet. Its hands are less developed, with extremely shortened fingers that are no longer separated from each other. Small wings develop on its wrists, while the ones on its back become larger, lose the wing finger passing through their membrane and end up with ragged edges. The back of its tail has a large spike at the base and three smaller ones near the tip, which now burns with a longer flame.

Mega Charizard Y has an incredible flying prowess that allows it to reach great heights in the sky.<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Mega%20Charizard%20Y Mega Charizard Y | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160219212327/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Mega%20Charizard%20Y archived])</ref> Its speed and maneuverability is greater than that of a jet fighter,<ref name=MEgaCharizardXY/> and the source of its power is said to come from its bond with its {{pkmn|Trainer}}.

====Gigantamax Charizard====
[[File:Leon Charizard G-Max Wildfire.png|thumb|left|220px|Gigantamax Charizard's wingless body]]
Gigantamax Charizard's belly is now white instead of its normal cream coloration, with a distinctive pattern of diamonds (some fully colored yellow, others merely outlined in yellow) on the lower portion. A similar pattern (this time filled and edged with a brown color) is on each leg facing forward. Its hand and feet claws are proportionally larger; also, Charizard now stands in a digitigrade stance. The sclerae of the eyes become yellow. The glow of a flame can be seen in the mouth, and the teeth grow, with the lower front teeth and three teeth in the middle now protruding when the mouth is closed. Its tail flame has expanded with respect to its body, growing down the tail towards the body instead of simply sprouting from the end; this enlarged flame is where the three orbiting clouds signature to the Dynamax phenomenon manifest themselves. Each of its horns now emits flames, and its wings have become constructs of pure fire, with burning extensions that outline its clavicle and stop right before they connect on its chest.

Due to being enhanced by Gigantamax energy, the fire within Charizard's body has become much stronger, burning hotter than 3,600 degrees Fahrenheit (2,000 degrees Celsius) and continuing to rise in temperature when Gigantamax Charizard roars. When using its [[Signature move|signature]] [[G-Max Move]], {{m|G-Max Wildfire}}, it launches its colossal fiery wings in the shape of a bird, which circles opponents while continuously scorching them with flames even hotter than magma.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/gigantamax-charizard/ Gigantamax Charizard | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>

**[[Grisham]] uses a Charizard in all battles with or against the player in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. This Charizard is always holding a [[Charizardite X]] and will Mega Evolve into Mega Charizard X.
**If the player chose [[Litten (Pokémon)|Litten]], [[Gladion]] will have a Charizard in [[Pokémon League (Alola)/Title Defense|Title Defense]] a month after completing [[Episode RR]] in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}.
**[[Leon]]'s signature Pokémon is [[Leon's Charizard|his Charizard]], even naming his famous pose after it. Charizard first debuted in {{g|Sword and Shield}} and can [[Gigantamax]].
*Charizard Glide is a [[Poké Ride]] in {{g|Sun and Moon}} and their sister titles, {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}.

====In the side series games====

==In the TCG==
{{main|Charizard (TCG)}}
Charizard's [[Charizard (Base Set 4)|first-released TCG card]], which as part of the {{TCG|Base Set}}, was widely regarded at the height of popularity of Pokémon as the best card ever. This was because of its powerful attack, Fire Spin, and useful Pokémon Power, Energy Burn, which allowed it to convert any Energy attached to it to {{TCG|Fire}} Energy. {{m|Fire Spin}} needed four Fire Energy and could deal 100 damage, knocking out the majority of Pokémon cards. In addition, it had the highest HP then, at 120. Individual Charizard cards were sold up to as much as $150. First edition cards of this dwarfed this price at one point breaking the $1000 US price point. This Charizard card was reprinted in [[Wizards of the Coast]]'s {{TCG|Base Set 2}} and {{TCG|Legendary Collection}} sets, and released again with updated artwork in the {{TCG|Stormfront}} expansion.

===Cultural impact===
* Charizard was [[List of references to Pokémon in science|the inspiration for the naming]] of ''Chilicola charizard'', a species of stem-nesting bees. The discoverer, Spencer K. Monckton, was inspired to name the species after Charizard thanks to its mountainous habitat and the orange coloration found in the first specimen he observed.<ref name="Real-life taxonomic influence">[http://zookeys.pensoft.net/articles.php?id=7731 A revision of ''Chilicola'' (''Heteroediscelis''), a subgenus of xeromelissine bees (Hymenoptera, Colletidae) endemic to Chile: taxonomy, phylogeny, and biogeography, with descriptions of eight new species]</ref><ref>(June 1, 2016). "[https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/844107 One of 8 new endemic polyester bees from Chile bears the name of a draconic Pokemon]." ''EurekAlert!''. Pensoft Publishers.</ref>

===Concept and development===
Charizard, its pre-evolved forms, and Mega Charizard X were designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/19980121112202fw_/http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/POKEMON/INTER/ATSUKO/INTER_AT.HTM Interview with Atsuko Nishida on Game Freak's website] (archived, Japanese)</ref><ref>[https://funs-project.com/poplab/007/index_2.html Fun's Project interview with Atsuko Nishida] (Japanese)</ref>

===Origin===
Charizard may be based on {{wp|European dragon}}s, which are heavily associated with the element of fire in {{wp|European folklore}}; this draconic appearance would later be reflected in the {{2t|Fire|Dragon}} typing of Mega Charizard X. Like its pre-evolved forms, it may also take inspiration from lizards, dinosaurs, and the mythical {{wp|Salamanders in folklore|salamander}}. Its English and Japanese nomenclature may be a reference to how Western dragons are heavily inspired by lizards and other reptiles.

====Name origin====
Charizard may be a combination of ''char'' (to burn) and ''lizard''.

Lizardon may be a combination of ''lizard'' and either ''dragon'' or ''-don'' (common suffix in dinosaur names derived from the Ancient Greek word for tooth).

'''Blastoise''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カメックス''' ''Kamex'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

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

Blastoise has two forms:
* It can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Blastoise''' using the [[Blastoisinite]].
* It can [[Gigantamax]] into '''Gigantamax Blastoise''' if it has the {{DL|Gigantamax|Gigantamax Factor}}. Gigantamax Blastoise was introduced in [[The Isle of Armor]].

Blastoise is the [[game mascot]] of {{game|Red and Blue|s|Pokémon Blue Version}} and its [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Japanese]] counterpart, appearing on the boxart of both games.

==Biology==
[[File:Blastoise shell anime.png|thumb|left|200px|Blastoise inside its shell]]
Blastoise is a large, bipedal {{wp|turtle}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Its body is blue and is mostly hidden by its tough, brown shell. This shell has a cream-colored underside and a white ridge encircling its arms and separating the upper and lower halves. Two powerful water cannons/jet nozzles reside at the top of its shell over its shoulders. These cannons can be extended or withdrawn. Blastoise's head has triangular ears that are black on the inside, small brown eyes, and a cream-colored lower jaw. Its arms are thick, and it has three claws on each hand. Its feet have three claws on the front and one on the back. Poking out of the bottom of its shell is a stubby tail.

The powerful cannons on this Pokémon's back can produce water blasts that can pierce steel and concrete and be used for high-speed charges and propelling itself in the air. The speed of Blastoise's charges is similar to the force of a rocket. Blastoise makes itself heavy to withstand these powerful blasts and crush its opponents. It is shown in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP060|Beach Blank-Out Blastoise]]'' that Blastoise can take the role of a leader in large groups of {{p|Squirtle}} and {{p|Wartortle}}. Its preferred habitat seems to be {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's Edge Pokémon|freshwater ponds and lakes}}. Blastoise is capable of flying by propelling itself with water from the back openings of its shell. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Blastoise is known to sleep soundly while protected by its tough shell. It has also been seen sleeping with its belly exposed on very rare occasions, meaning that it is feeling completely secure in its surroundings and has quickly fallen asleep.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>

In [[Generation II]], Blastoise and its pre-[[Evolution|evolved]] forms were the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the [[move]] {{m|Skull Bash}} naturally, but other Pokémon could still inherit it via {{pkmn|breeding}}.

===Forms===
Blastoise has two forms: [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Blastoise and [[Gigantamax]] Blastoise.

====Mega Blastoise====
Mega Blastoise has two smaller shells over its arms, each with its own water cannon. Small ridges develop over its now-red eyes and extend to its ears — which angle slightly backward — and there is a small point on its chin. The two cannons on its back merge into a single, central water cannon of greater size that extends forward over Mega Blastoise's head and can retract back into its shell.

Mega Blastoise has a more aggressive disposition due to its increased strength.<ref>[https://pokemonletsgo.pokemon.com/en-gb/story/#:~:text=a%20jet%20plane!-,Mega%20Blastoise,-Blastoise%20normally%20has Mega Blastoise | Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon Let's Go, Eevee!]</ref> The power of its main cannon is equivalent to that of a tank gun at minimum and possesses a blast range of over 6 miles (10 kilometers). Its strengthened legs and back enable it to withstand the recoil from its own blasts,<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Mega%20Blastoise Mega Blastoise | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160219212327/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Mega%20Blastoise archived])</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/PokemonGoApp/status/1307824239408558085 PokémonGoApp Did You Know?]</ref> but it can also use its arm cannons to further support itself by using [[move]]s like {{m|Ice Beam}} to latch itself to the ground before firing a massive attack, such as during its Burst Attack in [[Pokkén Tournament]].

====Gigantamax Blastoise====
[[File:009Blastoise-Gigantamax 2.png|thumb|left|250px|Gigantamax Blastoise using [[G-Max Cannonade]]]]
As Gigantamax Blastoise, it becomes larger. Its eyes are white with bright blue sclerae. Its blue arms, head, and legs change to light blue, and the underside of its shell becomes dark red. Its shell becomes darker and transforms into a battleship-like formation, with 31 cannons of different sizes: sets of twin cannons emerge from hexagon and rectangle-shaped holes within the shell, and a main cannon protrudes from the center. Several white triangular spots are located on its tail and legs. Three red clouds surround the main cannon.

Gigantamax Blastoise can adapt to any situation using various cannon combinations. It is not very good at precision shooting, so instead of aiming its attacks, it prefers to overwhelm its opponent by launching dynamic, powerful torrents from its cannons. According to one legend, its main cannon is so staggeringly powerful that it can blast holes through the mountains. Gigantamax Blastoise can also individually align the 12 cannons surrounding its main cannon to attack in any direction.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/gigantamax-blastoise/ Gigantamax Blastoise | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>

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

===NPC appearances===
==== In the core series ====
*These notable Trainers all use Blastoise:
** If the player chose {{p|Charmander}}, the player's [[rival]] and [[friend]], {{ga|Blue}}, will pick {{p|Squirtle}} in [[Generation I]] and {{g|FireRed and LeafGreen}}. This Squirtle will eventually evolve into a {{p|Wartortle}} and then fully evolve into Blastoise.
** With exception of [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], {{ga|Red}} uses a Blastoise in all battles against the player as an NPC (except battle facilities). Red is representative of the player character from the [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]] [[Kanto]]-based titles, paying homage to Blastoise as [[box mascot]] of Pokémon Blue. Red is often seen with the Pokémon when not using {{p|Pikachu}}. In [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]] Red's Blastoise has the capabilities to [[Mega Evolve]] into Mega Blastoise.
** {{ga|Green}} uses a Blastoise in all battles against the player in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] This Blastoise is always holding a [[Blastoisinite]] and will Mega Evolve into Mega Blastoise.
** [[Misty]] uses a Blastoise in the [[Kanto Leaders Tournament]] of the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] in {{g|Black 2 and White 2}}.
** If the player chose {{p|Chimchar}}, {{ga|Dawn}} will use a Blastoise during weekend rematches in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} after entering the [[Hall of Fame]] 10 times.
**[[Professor Sycamore]] uses a Blastoise against the player in his second battle. It will not Mega Evolve.
**If the player chose [[Popplio (Pokémon)|Popplio]], [[Gladion]] will have a Blastoise in [[Pokémon League (Alola)/Title Defense|Title Defense]] a month after completing [[Episode RR]] in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}.
**[[Honey]] uses a Blastoise if the player chose {{p|Bulbasaur}} during [[The Isle of Armor]] DLC in {{g|Sword and Shield}}. Her Squirtle has the [[Gigantamax]] Factor and will evolve into a Blastoise who can [[Dynamax]] into Gigantamax Blastoise.

====In the side series games====
*[[Cordy]] uses a Blastoise in the first battle tutorial of {{g|Champions}}.

==== In the spin-off games ====
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: Blastoise is the leader of Team Hydro, a [[Rank (Mystery Dungeon)|Bronze Rank]] rescue team. It joins a new team designed to rescue [[Team A.C.T.]] from [[Magma Cavern]] but fails to reach them. Blastoise appears to go exploring a lot as it discovers [[Western Cave]] and [[Meteor Cave]]. It reaches the end of Western Cave with {{p|Charizard}} of Team A.C.T., but both are defeated by {{p|Mewtwo}}. Blastoise is quick to anger, a feature that Charizard exploits to boost morale.

===Main series===
[[File:Gary Blastoise.png|thumb|250px|Blastoise in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
[[File:Siebold Mega Blastoise.png|thumb|250px|[[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Blastoise in ''[[XYS01|Pokémon: Mega Evolution Special I]]'']]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Gary's Blastoise]]=====
{{Gary}} has a Blastoise that he received as a Squirtle from {{an|Professor Oak}}. It made its first appearance in ''[[EP269|The Ties That Bind]]'', during Gary's [[Silver Conference]] [[Full Battle]] against {{Ash}}.

=====[[Tierno's Blastoise]]=====
{{an|Tierno}} has a Blastoise that he received as a Squirtle from {{an|Professor Sycamore}}. He first appeared in ''[[XY090|Tag Team Battle Inspiration!]]'', having evolved from Wartortle.

=====Other=====
A Blastoise appeared in ''[[EP060|Beach Blank-Out Blastoise]]'', where it ruled over an island of Squirtle and Wartortle. It had a {{an|Jigglypuff}} stuck in one of its cannons, and Jigglypuff's {{m|Sing|song}} subsequently made everyone fall asleep.

A Blastoise [[nickname]]d Shellshocker appeared in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' and its remake ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]'', under the ownership of [[Neesha]]. It was taken away from her by one of Mewtwo's special [[Poké Ball]]s but was liberated by Ash along with the other confiscated Pokémon. Along with [[Ash's Charizard]] and [[Corey]]'s {{p|Venusaur}}, they were the only confiscated Pokémon not to be cloned and they had the same marks that Squirtletwo had, indicating that it was likely obtained by Mewtwo through different means than the ones used to clone. After being freed, it fought with {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}'s cloned Blastoise and lost. Neesha's Blastoise appeared in an alternate timeline of the main series that was introduced in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', where it was seen battling Corey's Venusaur; it is unknown if it holds the same nickname in that timeline.

In ''[[EP085|Fit To Be Tide]]'', [[Cissy]] used her Blastoise to compete against Ash and his {{AP|Lapras}} in a Wave Race for the {{badge|Coral-Eye}}. Despite a well-fought race, Ash ultimately won by having Lapras use {{m|Ice Beam}} and riding on the ice. It reappeared in flashbacks of ''[[EP098|A Way Off Day Off]]'', ''[[EP111|Hello, Pummelo!]]'', and ''[[EP113|Viva Las Lapras]]''.

Multiple Blastoise appeared in ''[[EP106|The Pokémon Water War]]'', under the ownership of [[Captain Aidan]]. They worked alongside a team of [[Team Wartortle|Wartortle]] and {{p|Squirtle}} that were used to extinguish fires. The team of Blastoise reappeared in a flashback in ''[[EP147|The Fire-ing Squad!]]''.

A Blastoise appeared in ''[[EP194|Ring Masters]]'' as one of the Pokémon competing in [[Rikishii Town]]'s [[Sumo Conference]]. It went up against [[Raiden]]'s {{p|Feraligatr}} and lost despite its extreme strength, thus allowing Feraligatr to proceed to the finals.

In ''[[EP248|One Trick Phony!]]'', [[Jessie]] borrowed a Blastoise from the {{jo|Battle Park}} and used it against Ash and his {{AP|Pikachu}} in an elaborate plan to capture it.

In ''[[HS01|A Family That Battles Together Stays Together!]]'', [[Lola]]'s Blastoise rescued {{ka|Flint}}'s {{p|Golem}} after it had fallen into water. It reappeared in a fantasy in ''[[AG177|Grating Spaces!]]''.

In ''[[AG092|Judgment Day!]]'', {{OBP|Jimmy|AG092}}'s Wartortle evolved into a Blastoise while it was still being captured by {{TRT}}. This allowed it to escape with its massive size.

In ''[[DP072|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! (Part 2)]]'', three Blastoise were captured by [[Kellyn]]'s [[Capture Styler]] so they could use {{m|Rain Dance}} in order to douse a forest fire that was caused by [[J's Salamence]].

In ''[[XYS01|Mega Evolution Special I]]'', [[Siebold]]'s Mega Blastoise battled [[Alain]] and his {{TP|Alain|Charizard}}. Blastoise was successful in defeating Charizard.

In ''[[SM027|A Glaring Rivalry!]]'', a {{tc|Sailor}}'s Blastoise battled {{an|Gladion}} and his {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Lycanroc|Midnight Form}} {{TP|Gladion|Lycanroc}} and was eventually defeated by {{m|Counter}}.

====Minor appearances====
In ''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]'', a {{p|Gastly}} created an illusion of Blastoise in order to frighten [[Ash's Squirtle]]. Gastly subsequently combined this Blastoise with an illusionary {{p|Venusaur}} to create a {{DL|Variant Pokémon|Venustoise}}, which terrified both Squirtle and Bulbasaur out of battling.

Blastoise made its physical debut in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'' in a flashback, Ash saw a Blastoise in an advertisement for the contest in which he won his special [[Ash's hat|hat]].

[[File:UNITE Blastoise.png|220px|thumb|Blastoise in Pokémon UNITE]]
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]===
When released from a {{i|Poké Ball}}, Blastoise will use {{m|Hydro Pump}} in one direction. Each Pump moves Blastoise backward slightly making it a danger to those fighting behind it as well.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Blastoise reappears as a Poké Ball Pokémon in Super Smash Bros. Melee. Like in SSB, it uses Hydro Pump as its attack. Blastoise's trophy also refers to Blastoise as the 'Definitive Water Type'.
====Trophy information====
''"Blastoise is the next evolutionary step after Wartortle. The thick jets of water they shoot from the cannons on their backs are strong enough to cut through steel plating. When in danger, they hide inside their armored shells. Blastoise is so popular among Trainers that it's considered the definitive {{type|Water}}."''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Blastoise was briefly considered as a possible playable character before it was switched out for Squirtle.

===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===

A trophy of Mega Blastoise also exists in both versions of the game.
====Trophy information====
=====Blastoise=====
'''NA:''' ''On a hot summer day, it's great to cool off by playing in a sprinkler. Don't look to Blastoise as a replacement, though—those water jets on its back are extremely powerful and would send you flying. In fact, Blastoise itself is so huge so it doesn't get blown away when it fires. Speaking of fires, Blastoise is better than a fire truck at putting them out!''

'''PAL:''' ''Tempted to have a Blastoise hose the mud off your bike? Well, don't. The water jets from its rocket cannons might look perfect for that, but they'd just blast your bike into oblivion. In fact, the reason Blastoise grow so big and heavy is so they don't get blown away themselves. If your house is on fire, though, feel free to get a Blastoise to help!''
=====Mega Blastoise=====
'''NA''': ''Some species of Pokémon living in [[Kalos]] have the ability to Mega Evolve, and here's one! Mega Blastoise is a bit bigger than Blastoise, and instead of two cannons on its shell, it has one huge cannon. This may seem like a downgrade, but wait–there are two on its arms! This math is easy: three is better than two.''

'''PAL''': ''Some species of Pokémon living in Kalos have the ability to Mega Evolve, and here's one! Mega Blastoise is a bit bigger than Blastoise, and instead of two cannons on its shell, it has one huge cannon. This may seem like a downgrade, but wait - there are two on its arms, too! Basic arithmetic: three is better than two.''

{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Blastoise shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Kabuto}} and {{p|Kabutops}}. They are all known as the Shellfish Pokémon.
** Despite this, Blastoise is based on a turtle not a shellfish. This may be due to the fact the Japanese category is more accurately translated "Shell" not "Shellfish".
* [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs|Early concept art]] for a Pokémon called "Karabajio" resembles Blastoise without its signature water cannons. The name may be a combination of "''carapace''" and ''{{wp|Caravaggio}}''.
* [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Blastoise is the only Mega-Evolved [[first partner Pokémon]] that does not have two types.
* The way Blastoise flies in [[New Pokémon Snap]] is a potential reference to {{wp|Gamera}}.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9-20DgZlJQ i didn't know Blastoise can do this... OH SH--]</ref> [[Pokkén Tournament DX]] and [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]] have also introduced similar motions for Blastoise's actions.
* Blastoise was originally considered for [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] alongside {{OBP|Charizard|Super Smash Bros.}} and {{OBP|Ivysaur|Super Smash Bros.}}, but director [[Masahiro Sakurai]] decided to go with {{OBP|Squirtle|Super Smash Bros.}} instead for evolutionary stage balance.<ref>[http://sourcegaming.info/2016/04/29/duflupdate/ The Definitive List of Unused Fighters in Smash]</ref>
* In 3D games before {{g|X and Y}}, when Blastoise uses {{m|Hydro Pump}}, two streams are fired from its cannons, whereas every other Pokémon only has one stream. Starting in Pokémon X and Y, Blastoise no longer had a unique animation for this move. However, the animation was brought back when Blastoise returned in [[The Indigo Disk]] expansion of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.

===Origin===
Blastoise's design appears to be a {{wp|turtle}} mixed with aspects of a {{wp|tank}}.

Gigantamax Blastoise's shell may be based on a {{wp|battleship}}. It may also be based on {{wp|Leonardo da Vinci}}'s design for an {{wp|Leonardo's fighting vehicle|armored fighting vehicle}}, which itself is inspired by a turtle's shell.

====Name origin====
Blastoise may be a combination of ''blast'' (referring to its cannons) and ''{{wp|tortoise}}''.

Kamex may be a combination of 亀 ''kame'' (tortoise, turtle) and マックス ''makkusu'' (max; maximum).

'''Venusaur''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フシギバナ''' ''Fushigibana'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Ivysaur}} starting at [[level]] 32. It is the final form of {{p|Bulbasaur}}.

Venusaur has two forms:
* It can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Venusaur''' using the [[Venusaurite]].
* It can [[Gigantamax]] into '''Gigantamax Venusaur''' if it has the {{DL|Gigantamax|Gigantamax Factor}}. Gigantamax Venusaur was introduced in [[The Isle of Armor]].

Venusaur is the [[game mascot]] of {{game|Red and Green|s|Pokémon Green Version}} and its [[remake]] {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|Pokémon LeafGreen Version}}, appearing on the box art of both games.

==Biology==
[[File:Erika Venusaur bulb closed PM.png|thumb|200px|left|Venusaur with its leaves closed]]
Venusaur is a squat, quadrupedal {{wp|amphibian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with bumpy, blue-green skin. It has small, circular red eyes and a short, blunt snout. Its mouth is wide with two pointed teeth in the upper jaw and four in the lower jaw. On top of its head are small, pointed ears with reddish-pink insides. It has three clawed toes on each foot. The bud on its back has bloomed into a large pink, white-spotted flower. The flower is supported by a thick, brown trunk surrounded by green fronds. A female Venusaur has a {{wp|gynoecium}} in the center of its flower.

Venusaur uses its flower to catch the sun's rays to convert them into energy, which causes the flower to become more vibrant along with a nutritious diet. The flower releases a soothing scent that attracts Pokémon and calms emotions and can heal the [[human]] heart. This scent becomes stronger after a rainy day. Venusaur is at its strongest in the summertime when there is much more sunlight to absorb. In the {{aniseries|OS}} episode ''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]'', Venusaur has demonstrated the ability to manipulate nature, release several vines from its back, and lead [[Evolution]] ceremonies for {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Ivysaur}}. This Pokémon is rarely found in the wild, but it has been known to inhabit {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Venusaur releases a soothing fragrance while sleeping.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>
{{left clear}}

===Forms===
Venusaur has two forms: [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Venusaur and [[Gigantamax]] Venusaur.

====Mega Venusaur====
Mega Venusaur's flower grows more prominent, and two smaller pink flowers bloom, one on its forehead and one on its rear. Additional leaves with woody stems, supported by vines, are also grown around the flower. Mega Venusaur also develops dark markings on its forehead below the new flower on its forehead.

Mega Venusaur's legs and back have become sturdier to support the extra weight of the flower, and its increased defenses allow it to withstand just about any attack.<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Mega%20Venusaur Mega Venusaur | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160406143554/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Mega%20Venusaur archived])</ref><ref>[https://pokemonletsgo.pokemon.com/en-gb/story/#:~:text=in%20the%20game.-,Mega%20Venusaur,-When%20Venusaur%20Mega Mega Venusaur | Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon Let's Go, Eevee!]</ref> It can create brambles from its flower which can absorb energy from to heal itself, fire a light beam attack after charging, and form a poisonous circle around itself to attack foes.{{fact}}

====Gigantamax Venusaur====
[[File:003Venusaur-Gigantamax 2.png|thumb|left|200px|Gigantamax Venusaur using {{m|G-Max Vine Lash}}]]
As Gigantamax Venusaur, it becomes larger with its flower blooming even further, covering its body. These flowers have a taller bud and extraordinarily thick, springy petals capable of shielding Gigantamax Venusaur. Its eyes have light green sclerae and orange irises. More foliage grows from under its flower, and the trunk supporting it becomes shorter. It has several light green markings located at its belly.

Gigantamax Venusaur attacks with its thick vines, which are powerful enough to topple down a 10-story building. Gigantamax Venusaur's flower can similarly spread enough pollen to resemble a volcanic eruption. Breathing in this pollen can cause uncontrollable sneezing, and inhaling large amounts can even cause fainting. However, this pollen also promotes plant growth in areas where it lands.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/gigantamax-venusaur/ Gigantamax Venusaur | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>

Gigantamax Venusaur is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Vine Lash}}.

In ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'', {{an|May}}'s Bulbasaur was revealed to have evolved all the way into a Venusaur during her absence from the series.

It was taken away from her by one of {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}'s special [[Poké Ball]]s but was liberated by Ash along with the other confiscated Pokémon. Along with [[Ash's Charizard]] and [[Neesha]]'s {{p|Blastoise}}, they were the only confiscated Pokémon not to be cloned and they had the same marks that Bulbasaurtwo had, indicating that it was likely obtained by Mewtwo through different means than the ones used to clone. Its clone reappeared in ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''. Corey's Venusaur also appeared in an alternate timeline of the main series that was introduced in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', where it was seen battling [[Neesha]]'s {{p|Blastoise}}; it is unknown if it holds the same nickname in that timeline.

In ''[[EP112|Enter The Dragonite]]'', {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}}'s Venusaur was used in a battle against [[Ash's Tauros]], and it lost to Tauros' {{m|Take Down}} attack.

In ''[[AG151|Weekend Warrior]]'', {{OBP|Jeremy|AG151}}'s Venusaur was used during the second half of the {{ka|Silver Town}} [[Pokémon Contest]]. Jeremy's Venusaur, which knew {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, came very close to defeating [[May's Combusken]], but the Young Fowl Pokémon came through and pulled off a come-from-behind victory.

[[Spenser]] has a Venusaur that first appeared in ''[[AG163|Cutting the Ties that Bind]]''. Spenser had Venusaur use {{m|Sweet Scent}} to drive away the furious {{p|Beedrill}}.

In ''[[XY017|A Rush of Ninja Wisdom!]]'', [[Nihei]]'s male Venusaur appeared in a fantasy. He made his physical debut in ''[[XY099|The Legend of the Ninja Hero!]]'' at [[Ninja Village]].

In ''[[XY100|A Festival of Decisions!]]'', Venusaur was used to battle the ninja army's Pokémon and was able to defeat a {{p|Gengar}}.

In ''[[XYS04|Mega Evolution Special IV]]'', a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Mega Venusaur was one of the ten Mega-Evolved Pokémon that [[Alain]] and his {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} had to defeat. It was Alain's first opponent, putting up a tough match, but was eventually defeated.

In ''[[SM142|A Full Battle Bounty!]]'', {{an|Professor Kukui}}'s male Venusaur was the third Pokémon he used in his [[Full Battle]] against Ash. He went up against {{AP|Rowlet}}, defeating it before losing to {{AP|Torracat}}.

In ''[[JN003|Ivysaur's Mysterious Tower!]]'', multiple Venusaur evolved from Ivysaur after they traveled to a new {{OBP|Gym|GO}}, which was under construction in [[Vermilion City]], so they could absorb the sunlight needed for the Evolution process.

====Minor appearances====
In ''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]'', a {{p|Gastly}} created an illusory Venusaur to frighten [[Ash's Bulbasaur]]. Gastly subsequently combined this Venusaur with an illusory {{p|Blastoise}} to create a {{DL|Variant Pokémon|Venustoise}}, which terrified both Squirtle and Bulbasaur to the point where they did not want to battle anymore.

Venusaur made its physical debut in ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]''.

In ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', a Venusaur sensed the disturbance caused by [[Lawrence III]].

In ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]'', a Venusaur was working out in the [[Kumquat Gym]]. However, this scene was removed from the dub due to the appearance of {{p|Jynx}}.

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]===
[[File:Venusaur SSB.png|thumb]]
Venusaur is one of the Pokémon that can appear from the gate on the rooftop of [[Silph Co.]] in the [[Saffron City (stage)|Saffron City]] stage. Venusaur will occasionally use {{m|Razor Leaf}} at any character in front of it.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When Venusaur is released from a {{i|Poké Ball}}, it uses the move {{m|Earthquake}} (which Venusaur couldn’t learn until [[Generation III]]), which acts similarly to {{smw|Donkey Kong}}'s Down Special. Any player caught in this will be sent flying.

Venusaur is also a part of the stage in [[Poké Floats]]. The front half will push itself onto the screen first will begin to move to the left after {{p|Snorlax}} leaves the screen.

====Trophy information====
''Evolving from Ivysaur, this deceptively toxic Pokémon has a huge flower on its back that emits a cloying fragrance: the scent lulls its enemies into a state of calmness. Venusaur's flower synthesizes sunshine into pure energy for its {{m|SolarBeam}} move. Think of Grass-type Pokémon, and Venusaur comes first.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Venusaur is briefly mentioned in Ivysaur's trophy description.

===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
[[File:Mega_Venusaur_3DS_trophy_SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Mega Venusaur trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'']]
Mega Venusaur appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.

====Trophy information====
''With a special type of Mega Stone called Venusaurite, Venusaur can Mega Evolve into Mega Venusaur in the middle of a battle. Not only does Venusaur get a large defense boost when it Mega Evolves, but the plants on its back grow so much, it looks like you're being attacked by a walking jungle. Now, that's got to be intimidating!''
{{-}}
===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Venusaur reprises its role as a stage element in the returning {{st|Saffron City}}. It is also a {{sbw|Spirit}}. Its Spirit Battle is against a giant {{SSB|Ivysaur}} on {{sbw|Garden of Hope}}, which has a poisonous floor.

==={{DetPikMov}}===
Two Venusaur appeared in {{DetPikMov}}.

===[[Pokémon UNITE]]===
[[File:UNITE Venusaur.png|220px|thumb|Venusaur in Pokémon UNITE]]
{{main|Venusaur (UNITE)}}
Venusaur is playable through obtaining a Unite License. It is a ranged attacker that starts as Bulbasaur and evolves into Ivysaur at level 5, which evolves into Venusaur at level 7.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Venusaur shares its height (6'7"/2.0 m), weight (220.5 lbs./100.0 kg) and Egg Groups (Monster and Grass), with another {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, {{p|Tropius}}.
* Venusaur's evolutionary line is the only [[first partner Pokémon]] evolutionary line to have the {{t|Poison}} type.
** Venusaur's evolutionary line is also the only first partner Pokémon evolutionary line to have each member appear at least once in the [[Super Smash Bros. series]].
* Venusaur is among [[Ken Sugimori]]'s favorite Pokémon. However, it is also his least favorite Pokémon to draw due to its complex design.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20101230153442/http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/sp/index4.html</ref>
* Venusaur's number in the [[National Pokédex]] and the [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Fiore Browser]] are the same: 003.
* Due to [[List of censored words in Generation V|the censor]] that prevents Pokémon with offensive [[nickname]]s being traded on the [[GTS]], a Venusaur with an English name could not be [[trade]]d on the GTS without a nickname in [[Generation V]].
* Venusaur shares its {{pkmn|category}} with its pre-evolved forms and {{p|Sunkern}}. They are all known as the Seed Pokémon.
* If the {{player}} chooses {{p|Charmander}} as their first partner Pokémon in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, or locks themselves out of receiving {{p|Bulbasaur}} in {{game|Yellow}}, it is impossible to get Venusaur registered in the [[Pokédex]] without [[trade|trading]], as no NPC in said games uses a Venusaur except the rival if the player chose {{p|Squirtle}}. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, Cooltrainer Albert uses a Venusaur in Knockout Mode at the [[Trainer Tower]].
* Venusaur is the first Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order to have [[gender differences]].
* Venusaur is the only Pokémon to be a [[Game mascot|mascot]] for a {{game|Red and Green|s|Japan-exclusive}} [[core series|core game]].
* In {{aniseries|XY}}, [[Nihei]] and Venusaur from [[Ninja Village]] might be a reference to {{wp|Jiraiya}}, a frog-riding figure in {{wp|Japanese folktales|Japanese folklore}}.
* In the {{pmin|Brazil|Brazilian Portuguese}} [[dub]] of the {{pkmn|animated series}}, Venusaur is intentionally referred to as "Venussauro", despite its name still maintaining the English spelling in written media. The same is true for its pre-evolved forms.

===Merchandise===
[[File:Venusaur Red Battle Chess.png|thumb|Venusaur in Pokémon Battle Chess]]
* Venusaur appears in {{DL|Pokémon Battle Chess|Pokémon Battle Chess}}. It behaves like the rook piece in chess.

===Origin===
According to [[Ken Sugimori]] in a Japanese interview discussing the Pokémon franchise, Venusaur and its pre-Evolutions were inspired by {{wp|frog}}s.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20101230153442/http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/sp/index4.html Page 4 of interview with Game Freak, hosted on Nintendo's official website] (Japanese, archived)</ref> In particular, its short legs, stout appearance, ear-like protrusions on its head, and the {{a|Thick Fat}} Ability on Mega Venusaur, together make it resemble {{wp|Ceratophrys|horned frogs}}. Unlike Bulbasaur, Venusaur's "ears" have hollows, indicating that they are in fact ears and not glands, as seen in many species of frogs and toads.

The flower on its back resembles the ''{{wp|Rafflesia arnoldii}}''.

====Name origin====
Venusaur may be a combination of ''Venus'' (referring to the {{wp|Venus flytrap}} plant) or ''venom'' and ''dinosaur''.

Fushigibana may be a combination of 不思議 ''fushigi'' (strange; mysterious) and 花 ''hana'' (flower).

==Pass Progression==
The pass contents differ if the player is male or female as certain fashion item appearances are gender specific. Items with a Silver Background are rewarded for progressing the Battle Pass, while items with a gold background are rewarded for progressing the Premium Battle Pass. Additionally, If the player owns any [[Mega Stone]] ([[Skarmorite]], [[Kangaskhanite]] or [[Gengarite]]) prior to redeeming the reward on the Battle Pass, they will be instead rewarded {{bag/s|VP|CP|size=24px}} 2,000 VP for that level.

'''Misty's Psyduck''' (Japanese: '''カスミのコダック''' ''Kasumi's Koduck'') was the fifth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} acquired by {{an|Misty}} in the [[Kanto]] [[region]], and the second she {{pkmn2|caught}} within the series.

==In animation==
===History===
===={{aniseries|OS}}====
=====Kanto=====
[[File:Misty Psyduck EP027.png|thumb|left|220px|Psyduck was accidentally caught after Misty dropped a Poké Ball]]
In ''[[EP027|Hypno's Naptime]]'', the Pokémon of [[HopHopHop Town]] had been turned listless by the {{t|Psychic}} waves produced by a {{p|Hypno}}. When a {{p|Drowzee}} nullified the waves, the Pokémon were cured, except for a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Psyduck}} that [[Nurse Joy]] had been looking after due to a chronic {{wp|headache}}. {{an|Brock}} wanted to impress her, so he promised to take care of the {{pkmn|category|Duck Pokémon}}. Later, it was discovered that Psyduck had a permanent headache, so Brock passed it off to Misty because she is a {{type|Water}} [[Type expert|specialist]]. Misty tried to avoid Psyduck, but she accidentally caught it when she dropped a {{i|Poké Ball}} that subsequently rolled towards Psyduck. Psyduck tapped the Ball's control with its bill twice and essentially {{pkmn2|caught}} itself by accident.

Out of all of Misty's early Pokémon, Psyduck was arguably the one with the most personality. Psyduck did not like to stay in its Poké Ball, and usually popped out according to its mood. This personality trait came in handy quite a bit - when Misty or her other Pokémon were captured, it was usually Psyduck who escaped and ran to get help, as in ''[[EP028|Pokémon Fashion Flash]]''. However, Psyduck also tended to frustrate Misty, often emerging for a {{pkmn|battle}} when Misty would prefer to use another Pokémon. Although in these cases, Psyduck generally managed to win thanks to its Psychic [[Move|attacks]].

In ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]'', Misty grew frustrated with Psyduck's chronic headaches and tried to [[trade]] it with Brock for his {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}}, though he refused. Later on, when {{TRT}} was attacking the [[Fuchsia Gym]], Psyduck popped out of its Poké Ball when Misty attempted to send out {{TP|Misty|Starmie}}. Misty tried battling with it, but its {{m|Tail Whip}} and {{m|Scratch}} were useless against {{TP|James|Weezing}} and {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}. Although the battle seemed lost, Psyduck's headache grew strong enough to unlock its Psychic abilities and sent Team Rocket blasting off. [[Koga]] and {{an|Aya}} both offered to trade for Psyduck after witnessing its strength, but Misty declined, claiming she wouldn't trade Psyduck for the world.

In ''[[EP049|So Near, Yet So Farfetch'd]]'' Misty had her backpack stolen by stolen by [[Keith (EP049)|Keith]] and his {{p|Farfetch'd}}, which contained all her Poké balls. When neither of them were looking, Psyduck popped out of its Poké Ball and wandered away. It reunited with Misty who was happy to see it, but grew frustrated with Psyduck unable to answer her questions. Eventually, with difficulty, Psyduck led them to Keith. After Farfetch'd defeats Ash's Bulbasaur, Misty decides to battle him next, only to realize she didn't get her Poké Balls back yet. Psyduck steps in to battle Farfetch'd, who laughs and repeatedly hits it in the head with its Leek. This made Psyduck's headache so bad that it sent Farfetch'd and Keith flying into a tree, winning the battle

In ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'', Misty mistakenly used Psyduck during the [[Queen of the Princess Festival]], the main event in the annual [[Princess Festival]]. It managed to defeat [[Jessie]]'s newly-acquired {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}}, who had easily defeated the rest of Misty's temporary team of {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, and Vulpix. This made Misty the winner of the competition and earned her a [[Pokémon doll]] collection as a prize.

Misty left Psyduck at a breeding center in ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]'', unaware that it was a scheme by [[Team Rocket]]'s [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] to steal Pokémon. The group visited a nearby restaurant, learning they could get an all-you-can-eat meal for free if they could bring the chef his favorite Pokémon: a Psyduck. Shocked, Misty and the group head back to the breeding center to retrieve Psyduck, only to find it closed and soon uncover that it is a Team Rocket scheme. After facing police custody and a battle against Team Rocket, Misty and Psyduck are reunited and return to the restaurant to enjoy the all-you-can-eat offer.

[[File:Pokémon in Love.png|thumb|220px|Psyduck starred in Cleavon Schpielbunk's movie "Pokémon in Love"]]
When film producer [[Cleavon Schpielbunk]] wanted to cast a movie with only Pokémon in ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quack-tion]]'', Psyduck ended up becoming the co-star of Schpielbunk's {{p|Wigglytuff}}, since it was the only Pokémon willing to put up with Wigglytuff's diva attitude due to its own stupidity. Despite this, Psyduck apparently impressed Wigglytuff with its Psychic abilities after the Duck Pokémon saved the other Pokémon in the film from being captured by Team Rocket.

=====Orange Islands=====
In ''[[EP091|Bye Bye Psyduck]]'', Misty's Psyduck seemed to have gotten separated from the group. Later on, a girl named {{OBP|Marina|EP091}} arrived with a lost Psyduck. Misty assumed it was hers and noticed that its tail was glowing bright pink, which Marina pointed out that Psyduck would [[Evolution|evolve]] soon. Misty and Marina had a {{pkmn|battle}}, during which Ash tossed Misty her [[bag]]. It landed in the water, and when Misty retrieved it, she found a {{p|Golduck}}. Thinking her Psyduck evolved, she battled with Golduck, winning the match against Marina. Even when {{TRT}} barged in to steal Marina's Pokémon, Golduck easily rescued them. However, when Misty attempted to [[recall]] Golduck, her Psyduck popped out instead, revealing that the Golduck was a {{pkmn2|wild}} one and that her Psyduck never even left his Poké Ball.

Misty cleverly used Psyduck in battle in ''[[EP110|The Stun Spore Detour]]''. As {{MTR}} was about to attack, she recalled {{TP|Misty|Staryu}} and sent out Psyduck. Meowth angrily bit Psyduck's head, which caused Psyduck to have a severe headache, allowing it to use its psychic powers and defeat him.

===={{aniseries|GS}}====
[[File:EP217.png|thumb|left|220px|Psyduck in the Whirl Cup]]
In ''[[EP147|The Fire-ing Squad!]]'', Psyduck was entered into the [[Fire and Rescue Grand Prix]] with Ash, alongside his Pikachu and Squirtle, as well as Misty's Staryu. The group competed against a team of {{p|Muk}} to see who can put out a fire the fastest. Squirtle and Staryu used dual Water Guns on the fire while Pikachu kicked dirt at it. Things were going well until Psyduck got in the way and ended up getting thrown into the fire. Squirtle rescued it, but the loss in time cost them the match.

In ''[[EP217|The Perfect Match!]]'', Misty was going to use {{TP|Misty|Corsola}} to battle against Ash and his {{AP|Kingler}} in the [[Whirl Cup]], but Psyduck popped out of his Poké Ball instead. Kingler used its {{m|Vise Grip}} on Psyduck, which caused it to get a headache. Misty then had Psyduck use Confusion, which sent Kingler flying into Ash and knocked it out, giving Misty the victory.

In ''[[EP256|Just Add Water]]'', Misty was having a battle with [[Dorian]], the Gym Leader of the unofficial {{DL|Gym|Coastline Gym}}. Psyduck watched Misty battle him until {{TRT}} showed up and captured Misty and Dorian. Psyduck then became angry and determined, unlike the usual attitude it displayed, and wanted to battle Team Rocket. {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} used {{m|Bite}} on Psyduck-which caused it to get a headache-allowing it to use its Confusion attack. Psyduck then used {{m|Psychic}} to blast Team Rocket off. Afterwards, Dorian was amazed by Psyduck's power and complimented on it, saying Misty easily would have won the battle if she had used Psyduck. Psyduck, however, only seemed confused by the compliment.

===={{g|Chronicles}}====
In ''[[HS02|Cerulean Blues]]'', Psyduck accidentally came out of its Poké Ball alongside {{TP|Misty|Politoed}}, who was sent out to calm down a rampaging {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}}. Upon emerging, Psyduck fell into the pool and started to panic, though Gyarados headbutted it out before he drowned.
[[File:Misty and Psyduck.png|thumb|250px|Psyduck and Misty]]
In ''[[HS05|The Blue Badge of Courage]]'', Misty and {{Tracey}} tried to teach Psyduck how to swim. Their efforts proved to be unsuccessful as Psyduck freaked out whenever it touched the water, and they stopped when [[Sakura]] appeared. It later attempted to battle [[Kinso]]'s {{p|Feraligatr}}, but was scared off immediately. Soon after, Misty and Tracey resumed their attempts at teaching Psyduck to swim, but the two were interrupted when Kinso informed Misty that [[Gym Badge thieves|thieves]] stole all of the Badges. Psyduck eventually battled and defeated the thieves' Pokémon alongside [[Sakura's Espeon]], doing so when it got a headache mid-battle and activated its Psychic powers.

===={{aniseries|SM}}====
In ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', Psyduck greeted Misty upon her return to the [[Cerulean Gym]]. It was later used in a battle against [[Lana's Popplio]] and [[Mallow's Steenee]]. Steenee started the battle with {{m|Magical Leaf}} while Popplio quickly followed with {{m|Bubble Beam}}. Psyduck showed its improved battling abilities, firing a now-mastered {{m|Water Gun}}. Popplio, however, created a balloon to absorb the attack, then launched the water-filled balloon at Psyduck, trapping it inside. Misty commanded Psyduck to use Confusion but it didn't respond. Steenee launched another Magical Leaf, breaking the balloon and causing Psyduck to land on its head, giving it a headache. This triggered Psyduck to successfully use Confusion, but before it could do anything more to his opponents, Misty ordered Psyduck to put Popplio and Steenee down, ending the battle prematurely.

In ''[[SM102|Alola, Alola!]]'', Psyduck accompanied Misty to [[Alola]]. It let itself out of its Poké Ball while at [[Anela]]'s stand and ended up swallowing a whole watermelon.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
[[File:Misty Psyduck and Ash Pikachu.png|thumb|left|250px|Psyduck and {{AP|Pikachu}}]]
In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Psyduck watched Ash's [[Masters Eight Tournament]] match against {{an|Leon}} alongside Misty and {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}}.

Psyduck reappeared in ''[[JN138|A Fated Face-Off!]]''. During the episode, it reunited with Ash and watched as he and its Trainer battled over a wild {{p|Clauncher}}. It celebrated along with Misty and {{TP|Misty|Azurill}} after Misty won the battle and caught her new Pokémon. In ''[[JN139|Must Be Our Heroes and the Witch!]]'', it popped out of its Poké Ball to be evaluated by {{an|Cilan}}. The [[Pokémon Connoisseur]] found it and Misty's clashing personalities to be a perfect match.

In ''[[JN141|A Squad's Worth of Passion!]]'', Psyduck was called out alongside {{TP|Misty|Politoed}} and {{TP|Misty|Clauncher}} to help the [[Squirtle Squad]] stop a rampaging fire.

In ''[[JN145|Rocket Revengers!]]'', Psyduck came out to help Staryu against [[James's Yamask]] and [[Jessie's Frillish]]. However, its confidence quickly turned to panic as its vision was obscured by Yamask's mask.

In ''[[JN147|The Rainbow and the Pokémon Master!]]'', Psyduck said goodbye to {{AP|Pikachu}} as its Trainer split away from the group to return to Cerulean City.

===Personality and characteristics===
{{bulbanews|Personality & Development: Misty's Psyduck}}
Misty's Psyduck can easily be described as dimwitted and absent-minded. When it pops out of its Poké Ball, it often doesn't know how it got there. It is perpetually confused, and even when it summons powerful moves, it appears confused about how it managed to pull off such a feat. Psyduck's motivation for jumping out of its Poké Ball remains unknown, as it clearly does not enjoy or excel at battling.
[[File:Misty yelling at Psyduck.png|thumb|left|220px|Misty yelling at Psyduck]]
Psyduck cannot swim, which is unusual for its species. In deep water, it will panic and flail about, like a non-swimmer afraid of drowning. On one occasion, Psyduck was given a lifebelt for it to enjoy the water. It also has trouble in battle. It knows several powerful {{type|Psychic}} techniques, but can only use them when its headaches become severe.
[[File:Misty Psyduck drowning.png|thumb|220px|Psyduck's inability to swim]]
Psyduck truly loves and cares for Misty; however, the pair's relationship is tumultuous. For comic purposes, Misty seems to go to the limit of violence with Psyduck, such as when she suggested she smash a bike on Psyduck's head in order to activate its psychic powers in ''[[EP036|The Bridge Bike Gang]]''. Psyduck is quite unconcerned to these threats of violence, perhaps because it knows how Misty truly feels. Despite its faults, Psyduck always tries to be there for her, whether she likes it or not. In ''[[EP256|Just Add Water]]'', Psyduck pushed Ash aside, wild with anger at Team Rocket's abduction of Misty and insisting on battling. However, after a few seconds, it completely forgot what it was doing and went back to looking confused.

Misty constantly complains about Psyduck's faults and how its dopey look gives her a headache, but she actually deeply cares for Psyduck. She has never considered releasing Psyduck, though she tried trading it for [[Brock's Vulpix]] in ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]''. Though it has been suggested several times; she instantly shoots down such ideas, like when [[Koga]] and {{an|Aya}} both offered a [[trade]] with her. She also boasts about Psyduck's strengths when he comes through for her, such as during the [[Queen of the Princess Festival]]. Since ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', Misty's relationship with Psyduck has greatly improved, as has its battle techniques, as shown by her enthusiastically greeting Psyduck upon her return to the Gym.

In ''[[SM102|Alola, Alola!]]'', Psyduck was shown to also have a big appetite, which was shown when it swallowed a whole watermelon, and also when it ate the food that {{an|Brock}} had cooked for himself, Misty, and Ash. This was seen again in [[SM103|the next episode]], where Psyduck wanted some of Misty's ice cream. Misty offered it some of the ice cream, only for Psyduck to eat the whole ice cream cone.

* It took Psyduck [[SM043|942 episodes]] to use {{m|Water Gun}} properly, the longest that any Pokémon owned by a main character has taken to master a move.
* Although Psyduck learned Psychic in ''[[EP256|Just Add Water]]'', it hasn't used the move since that episode.

'''Jessie's Arbok''' (Japanese: '''ムサシのアーボック''' ''Musashi's Arbok'') was the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} [[Jessie]] was known to have; she received it as a {{wp|chūgen}} gift (a [[birthday]] gift in the dub).

==In animation==
===History===
===={{aniseries|OS}}====
=====Kanto=====
[[File:EP002.png|thumb|220px|left|Team Rocket attacking the Viridian Pokémon Center]]
It was mentioned in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'' that [[Jessie]] received {{p|Ekans}} as a [[birthday]] present (for {{wp|chūgen}} in the original Japanese version). It is unknown who the gift was from.

Arbok first appeared in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'' as an Ekans. Throwing their {{i|Poké Ball}}s down from their [[Team Rocket's mechas|Meowth balloon]], Jessie and [[James]] used both it and [[James's Koffing]] to quickly overtake the defenseless {{ci|Viridian}} [[Pokémon Center]]. Koffing's job was to create a {{m|Smokescreen}} while Ekans destroyed the computers. Chasing {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and [[Nurse Joy]], Ekans scared all of Ash's Pokémon, and Misty attempt with {{p|Goldeen}} didn't succeed. However, Nurse Joy's {{p|Pikachu}} came out and replenished [[Ash's Pikachu]] with a {{m|Thunder Shock}} attack while at the same time attacking the Rocket trio. Giving Ash's Pikachu enough power to stand up, Ash charged up Pikachu using Misty's charred bike, letting him have his own Thunder Shock. As Team Rocket was being electrocuted, Koffing's {{m|Smog}} was ignited by the voltage, causing the entire Pokémon Center to explode and sending Team Rocket blasting off.
[[File:Meowth being ignored by Ekans and Koffing.png|thumb|220px|Ekans and Koffing ignoring Meowth's orders]]
While the [[SS Anne|St. Anne]] had already sunk into the ocean in ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]'', Ekans was responsible for the vessel flooding with seawater after Jessie ordered it to open a hole in the floor to escape. Team Rocket later escaped with Ash and {{ashfr}} thanks to their {{t|Water}} Pokémon.

Ekans was separated from Jessie in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'' along with {{MTR}} and Koffing after a group of {{p|Gyarados}} sent them flying with {{m|Dragon Rage}}. When Team Rocket's Pokémon came across Ash's Pokémon, who were also separated from their Trainer, Meowth ordered Ekans and Koffing to attack them. However, they both refuse to listen, simply stating Meowth is not their Trainer. Meowth tried to convince the two Pokémon that, as bad guys, they don't need the company of their Trainers to do anything bad, but Ekans told him that "there are no bad Pokémon; only their Trainers are bad." Because of the situation, the two groups of Pokémon joined forces to look for their Trainers. The next day, Ekans and the rest of the Pokémon were seen being chased by a group of giant mechanical Pokémon. It would not be until they jumped into a mine cart their Trainers were riding that Ekans would be reunited with Jessie.

In ''[[EP018|Beauty and The Beach]]'', Ekans and Koffing were entered into the [[Beach Beauty and Pokémon Costume Contest]]. The two dressed up as an {{p|Omastar}} before being kicked off the stage by [[Gary Oak]]. Ekans and Koffing later served as models for Team Rocket's "Salon Roquet" in ''[[EP028|Pokémon Fashion Flash]]'', showing off elaborate outfits designed by Jessie and James in an attempt to lure in customers and steal their Pokémon. After being discovered by Ash and his friends, Ekans attempted to battle Pikachu and {{an|Brock}}'s {{TP|Brock|Geodude}}, but its gaudy otufit restricted its movement. It was then blasted out of the building by [[Suzie]]'s {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}}.
[[File:Arbok Weezing Viridian Gym.png|thumb|220px|left|Arbok and Weezing battling in the Viridian Gym]]
It eventually [[Evolution|evolved]] into an Arbok in ''[[EP031|Dig Those Diglett!]]'', along with Koffing, after James and Jessie were desperate for them to evolve. Despite their new forms, however, they were easily overwhelmed by a horde of {{p|Diglett}} and {{p|Dugtrio}}.

In ''[[EP044|The Problem with Paras]]'', Arbok, along with Weezing, faked losing a battle against [[Cassandra]]'s {{p|Paras}} so it could gain the confidence to evolve.

In ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'', Jessie used Arbok during the [[Queen of the Princess Festival]] competition. Arbok helped Jessie reach the finals, but ultimately, it was defeated by Pikachu's {{m|Thunder Shock}}.

In ''[[EP061|The Misty Mermaid]]'', Team Rocket attempted to steal the {{type|Water}} Pokémon belonging to the [[Cerulean Gym]]. The trio attacked during an underwater performance, with Arbok and Weezing coming out to battle, though Weezing immediately floated to the surface. Despite being alone and outnumbered, Arbok rounded up its opponents and moved in to finish them off. However, a {{p|Seel}} intervened, evolved into {{OBP|Dewgong|Cerulean Gym}}, and {{status|freeze|froze}} Arbok with {{m|Ice Beam}}.

In ''[[EP063|The Battle Of The Badge]]'', Arbok was used by Jessie when she acted as the temporary [[Viridian City]] Gym Leader. It was swiftly defeated by a {{m|Thunderbolt}} from Ash's Pikachu.

In ''[[EP070|Go West Young Meowth]]'', Arbok and Weezing defended Meowth from his old gang. Their distraction allowed Meowth to take on the leader, a {{p|Persian}}. and defeat it.

=====Orange Islands=====
In ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-Volts]]'', Arbok was used to try to nab the Pokémon [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] stole. It, along with the rest of Team Rocket's Pokémon, was hypnotized by Butch and Cassidy's {{p|Drowzee}} and forced to attack its Trainer. They were later freed by Ash and his Pikachu and joined together to battle Drowzee.

In ''[[EP104|Bound For Trouble]]'', Arbok saved Meowth from a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{p|Pidgeot}}, using {{m|Wrap}} and {{m|Bite}} to scare it off.

===={{aniseries|GS}}====
Jessie used Arbok as her main battling Pokémon in [[Johto]], preferring it over {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}} and later {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}.
[[File:Jessie Arbok James Weezing.png|thumb|220px|Arbok fighting alongside Weezing]]
In ''[[EP128|The Whistle Stop]]'', when Team Rocket stole a whistle from [[Arielle]], {{MTR}} blew it in the right note to cause Arbok to dance around and cry out in reaction. This allowed Meowth to command it to help capture a group of {{p|Ledyba}} from Arielle by having it dig underground and jump out in front of them for Meowth to throw a net on them and tie them in ropes. Arbok used its tail to grab the ropes when they tried to escape. Still, the Ledyba eventually escaped and dragged Arbok into Jessie's Lickitung and [[James's Victreebel]], who were attacking the [[twerp]]s and Arielle.

In ''[[EP169|Beauty and the Breeder]]'', Arbok, alongside the rest of Team Rocket's Pokémon, was entered in the [[Pokémon Beauty Contest]]. They impressed the crowd with their stylish looks before getting thrown out by [[Officer Jenny]] for breaking the rules.

In ''[[EP173|Wobbu-Palooza!]]'', Arbok was used alongside Victreebel to try to stop the [[Wobbuffet Festival crashers]], since everyone else refused to fight due to festival rules. Arbok battled their {{p|Hitmonlee}} and lost quickly to his {{m|Rolling Kick}} and {{m|High Jump Kick}} attacks. Wobbuffet was sent out afterward and managed to defeat them with his {{m|Counter}}.

In ''[[EP174|Imitation Confrontation]]'', Arbok battled [[Duplica]]'s {{p|Ditto}}, Mini-Dit. Mini-Dit {{m|transform}}ed into Wobbuffet and used his moveset to battle Arbok and Weezing before transforming into Pikachu and blasting Team Rocket off.

In ''[[EP181|A Ghost of a Chance]]'', Arbok and Weezing battled against [[Morty's Gengar]]. Due to its ability to turn invisible and hide in the shadows, Gengar was able to disorient the two before defeating them with {{m|Shadow Ball}}.

In ''[[EP202|The Big Balloon Blow-Up]]'', Jessie used Arbok's Poison Sting to pop some of her competitor's balloons during the [[Pokémon Balloon Race]]. This caused a number of them to drop out, though Team Rocket ended up not finishing due to Pikachu destroying their balloon.

In ''[[EP220|The Mystery is History]]'', Jessie sent out Arbok against [[Cassidy]]'s {{p|Houndour}} to see who would be the one to steal a {{p|Lugia}} [[nickname]]d [[Silver (Lugia)|Silver]]. Arbok's Poison Sting was easily overwhelmed by Houndour's {{m|Flamethrower}}, after which Ash and his friends arrived to intervene. In ''[[EP222|A Promise is a Promise]]'', the battle for the {{an|Lugia}} continues. The attacks from both sides of Team Rocket's Pokémon broke the energy barrier holding Lugia captive, and it blasts them all away.

===={{aniseries|RS}} and {{pkmn|Chronicles}}====
In ''[[AG002|A Ruin with a View]]'', Jessie sent out Arbok alongside Weezing to battle the {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}s who approached them. Not long after being sent out, [[Team Magma]]'s {{p|Houndoom}} used {{m|Roar}} to send Arbok and Weezing back into their Poké Balls.

In ''[[HS03|We're No Angels!]]'', Arbok and Weezing accidentally made Team Rocket the town heroes by destroying a mecha heading towards them.

In ''[[AG005|In the Knicker of Time!]]'', Arbok and Weezing battled Ash and {{ashfr}} for the final time, where they were blasted off by Pikachu's {{m|Thunder}}.

In ''[[AG006|A Poached Ego!]]'', Team Rocket took on [[Rico]], a [[Pokémon hunter|Pokémon poacher]] who had captured a herd of Ekans and {{p|Koffing}} in [[Petalburg Woods]]. Arbok battled Rico's {{p|Fearow}} and managed to hold its beak shut, leading Rico to [[recall]] it. In the follow-up match, Arbok knocked Fearow out with {{m|Headbutt}}, allowing Meowth to free the captured Pokémon. James and Jessie reluctantly ordered Weezing and Arbok to stay in the wild and guard the young Ekans and Koffing. The pair tearfully escaped into the wilderness as Jessie, James, and Meowth fought Rico and his {{p|Tyranitar}} by themselves.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
Arbok appeared in a fantasy in ''[[JN145|Rocket Revengers!]]'' when Team Rocket reminisced about their old Pokémon.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Jessie Arbok James Weezing depressed.png|thumb|220px|left|Arbok and Weezing depressed]]
[[File:Jessie and Arbok.png|thumb|220px|Arbok and Jessie]]
Jessie often relied on Arbok in {{pkmn|battle}} because of its intimidating nature and its abilities to use {{m|Dig}} and swim in the water, like in ''[[EP061|The Misty Mermaid]]''. Outside of battling, Arbok was deeply attached and loyal to [[Jessie]], as revealed during its temporary separation from her in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'', and its later release in ''[[AG006|A Poached Ego!]]''. Jessie offered Arbok support in times of difficulty, like during blastoffs or when it failed its movie audition in ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quacktion]]''.

Despite its loyalty to Jessie, Arbok showed a moral conscience of its own, revealing in ''Island of the Giant Pokémon'' when it was an Ekans that there is no such thing as an evil Pokémon; rather, that moral responsibility lies with the {{pkmn|Trainer}}. There have also been rare occasions where Arbok and Weezing refused to obey their Trainers, such as in ''[[EP047|A Chansey Operation]]'', where they refused to attack a {{p|Chansey}} because it had treated the injuries they suffered from Team Rocket's schemes and ''[[EP207|Got Miltank?]]'', where Arbok, along with the rest of Team Rocket's Pokémon, refused to attack the {{p|Miltank}} or any of the Pokémon at an oasis where humans are not welcomed out of respect.

==Trivia==
[[File:DP161 Arbok flute.png|thumb|250px|Jessilina and her Arbok-shaped flute]]
* Aside from {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}, Arbok holds the record for the most appearances out of Jessie's Pokémon, at 143 main series episodes.
* Arbok's arrow-like pattern on its neck differs in some episodes. Sometimes, the ends of the arrow stretch until the ends of its eye-like patterns on its chest and is only a few inches wide. Similarly, there are two red dots on its arrow in some episodes, and in other episodes, there are none.
* In ''[[EP061|The Misty Mermaid]]'', Arbok was revealed to be able to swim without the need for air.
* Arbok's use of {{m|Glare}} in ''[[EP033|The Flame Pokémon-athon!]]'' marks the first time a main character's Pokémon has used a [[signature move]].
* Its gender was hinted in the Japanese version of ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]''. In the subtitles, it refers to itself and {{TP|James|Koffing|Weezing}} as おれたち ''{{wp|Japanese pronouns|ore-tachi}}'', which is a pronoun normally used by males meaning "we", also used by characters such as {{Ash}}, {{an|Brock}}, and [[James]] in the Japanese version.
* Out of all the Pokémon owned by Jessie or James, Arbok has used the most moves, with eleven.

'''James's Weezing''' (Japanese: '''コジロウのマタドガス''' ''Kojirō's Matadogas'') was the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} [[James]] was known to have, and his third overall. He received it as a {{jwp|歳暮|year-end gift}} (a [[Christmas]] gift in the dub).

==In animation==
===History===
===={{aniseries|OS}}====
=====Kanto=====
[[File:EP002.png|thumb|220px|left|Team Rocket attacking the Viridian Pokémon Center]]
It was revealed in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'' that [[James]] received {{p|Koffing}} as a gift last Christmas, {{jwp|歳暮|oseibo}} (a customary gift given during the winter season) in the original Japanese version. In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], it was revealed to have been given to him by {{an|Giovanni}}.

Weezing first appeared in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'' as a Koffing. James used it alongside [[Jessie]]'s {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}} to quickly overtake the defenseless {{ci|Viridian}} [[Pokémon Center]]. Koffing's job was to create a {{m|Smokescreen}} while Ekans destroyed the computers. Chasing everyone into the back room, Koffing and Ekans accompanied their Trainers in intimidating {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and [[Nurse Joy]], which caused Misty to decide to battle {{TRT}}. However, this was a failed effort as both of them managed to catch up to Ash in no time. However, Nurse Joy's {{p|Pikachu}} came out and healed [[Ash's Pikachu]] with a {{m|Thunder Shock}} attack, while at the same time attacking the Team Rocket trio. Giving Ash's Pikachu enough power to stand up, Ash charged up Pikachu using Misty's charred bike, letting him use his own Thunder Shock. As the group was electrocuted, Koffing used {{m|Smog}}. The electricity climbed up the toxic gas, causing the entire Pokémon Center to explode and sending Team Rocket blasting off for the first time.
[[File:Meowth being ignored by Ekans and Koffing.png|thumb|220px|Koffing and Ekans ignoring Meowth's orders]]
Koffing was separated from James in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'' along with {{MTR}} and Ekans after a group of {{p|Gyarados}} sent them flying with {{m|Dragon Rage}}. When Team Rocket's Pokémon came across Ash's Pokémon, who were also separated from their Trainer, Meowth ordered Koffing and Ekans to attack them. However, they both refuse to listen, simply stating Meowth is not their Trainer. Meowth tried to convince the two Pokémon that, as bad guys, they didn't need the company of their Trainers to do anything bad, but Ekans told him that "there are no bad Pokémon; only their Trainers are bad." Because of the situation, the two groups of Pokémon joined forces to look for their Trainers. The next day, Koffing and the rest of the Pokémon were seen being chased by a group of giant mechanical Pokémon. It would not be until they jumped into a mine cart their Trainers were riding that Koffing would be reunited with James.

In ''[[EP018|Beauty and The Beach]]'', Koffing and Ekans were entered into the [[Beach Beauty and Pokémon Costume Contest]]. The two dressed up as an {{p|Omastar}} before being kicked off the stage by [[Gary Oak]]. In ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]'', Team Rocket attempted to sneak into the [[Celadon Gym]] to steal a perfume formula. Inside, they encountered a {{p|Gloom}}, and James sent out Koffing to deal with it. It released {{m|Poison Gas}}, but the Weed Pokémon enjoyed the stench and countered by releasing its own. In ''[[EP028|Pokémon Fashion Flash]]'', Koffing and Ekans served as models for "Salon Roquet," a money-making scheme devised by Team Rocket on [[Scissor Street]]. After the ruse was discovered by Ash and his friends, Koffing battled against Pikachu and {{an|Brock}}'s {{TP|Brock|Geodude}}, using a {{m|Sludge}} attack to blind them. The excessive clothing that Jessie and James had dressed Koffing and Weezing in slowed them down, however, and they were blown out of the building by a {{m|Fire Spin}} from [[Suzie]]'s {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}}.
[[File:Arbok Weezing Viridian Gym.png|thumb|220px|left|Weezing and Arbok battling in the Viridian Gym]]
It eventually [[Evolution|evolved]] into a Weezing in ''[[EP031|Dig Those Diglett!]]'', along with Ekans, after James and [[Jessie]] were desperate for them to evolve. Despite their new forms, however, they were easily overwhelmed by a horde of {{p|Diglett}} and {{p|Dugtrio}}.

In ''[[EP044|The Problem with Paras]]'', Weezing, along with Arbok, faked losing a battle against [[Cassandra]]'s {{p|Paras}} so it could gain the confidence to evolve.

In ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'', Jessie used Weezing during the [[Queen of the Princess Festival]] contest. Weezing helped Jessie make it to the finals but ultimately failed against Pikachu's Thunder Shock.

In ''[[EP063|The Battle Of The Badge]]'', Weezing was used by Jessie when she acted as the temporary [[Viridian City]] Gym Leader. It was swiftly defeated by a {{m|Thunderbolt}} from Ash's Pikachu.

In ''[[EP066|The Evolution Solution]]'', Weezing was used to battle a {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio|Shellder}} James dug up. Weezing easily defeated it after dodging its {{m|Ice Beam}}. Just as James was about to catch it, Jessie jumped in and {{pkmn2|caught}} it herself.

In ''[[EP070|Go West Young Meowth]]'', Weezing and Arbok defended Meowth from his old gang. Their distraction allowed Meowth to take on the leader, a {{p|Persian}}. and defeat it.

=====Orange Islands=====
In ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-Volts]]'', Weezing was used to try to nab the Pokémon [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] stole. It, along with the rest of Team Rocket's Pokémon, was hypnotized by Butch and Cassidy's {{p|Drowzee}} and forced to attack its Trainer. They were later freed by Ash and his Pikachu and joined together to battle Drowzee.

In ''[[EP110|The Stun Spore Detour]]'', Jessie was paralyzed by a {{p|Vileplume}}, which could be cured with [[Salveyo weed]]. James and Meowth found the herb on a {{TP|Misty|Poliwag}}, and Weezing was sent out to battle [[Misty's Staryu]] over who would obtain it. Staryu easily cut through Weezing's Smog with {{m|Double-Edge}}, defeating it. It later tried attacking the Poliwag directly, but was smacked away by {{m|Double Slap}}. Ultimately, Misty left them some of the Salveyo weed to help Jessie.

===={{aniseries|GS}}====
Throughout the [[Johto]] [[region]], James tended to use {{TP|James|Victreebel}} for combat over Weezing. Weezing was mainly used during this time to create smoke to cover the trio's escapes and entrances.
[[File:Jessie Arbok James Weezing.png|thumb|220px|Weezing fighting alongside Arbok]]
In ''[[EP169|Beauty and the Breeder]]'', Weezing, alongside the rest of Team Rocket's Pokémon, was entered in the [[Pokémon Beauty Contest]]. They impressed the crowd with their stylish looks before getting thrown out by [[Officer Jenny]] for breaking the rules.

In ''[[EP174|Imitation Confrontation]]'', Weezing battled [[Duplica]]'s {{p|Ditto}}, Mini-Dit. Mini-Dit {{m|transform}}ed into Wobbuffet and used his moveset to battle Weezing and Arbok before transforming into Pikachu and blasting Team Rocket off.

In ''[[EP181|A Ghost of a Chance]]'', Weezing and Arbok battled against [[Morty's Gengar]]. Due to its ability to turn invisible and hide in the shadows, Gengar was able to disorient the two before defeating them with {{m|Shadow Ball}}.

In ''[[EP202|The Big Balloon Blow-Up]]'', James used Weezing's Smog to choke up the competition during the [[Pokémon Balloon Race]]. This caused several competitors to drop out, though Team Rocket ended up not finishing due to Pikachu destroying their balloon.

===={{aniseries|RS}} and {{pkmn|Chronicles}}====
In ''[[AG002|A Ruin with a View]]'', James sent out Weezing alongside Arbok to battle the {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}s who approached them. Not long after being sent out, [[Team Magma]]'s {{p|Houndoom}} used {{m|Roar}} to send Weezing and Arbok back into their {{i|Poké Ball}}s.

In ''[[HS03|We're No Angels!]]'', Weezing and Arbok accidentally made Team Rocket the town heroes by destroying a mecha heading towards them.

In ''[[AG005|In the Knicker of Time!]]'', Weezing and Arbok battled Ash and {{ashfr}} for the final time, where they were blasted off by Pikachu's {{m|Thunder}}.

In ''[[AG006|A Poached Ego!]]'', Team Rocket took on [[Rico]], a [[Pokémon hunter|Pokémon poacher]] who had captured a herd of Ekans and {{p|Koffing}} in [[Petalburg Woods]]. Eventually, James and Jessie reluctantly ordered Weezing and Arbok to stay in the wild and guard the young Ekans and Koffing. The pair tearfully escaped into the wilderness as Jessie, James, and Meowth fought Rico and his {{p|Tyranitar}} by themselves.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
Weezing appeared in a fantasy in ''[[JN145|Rocket Revengers!]]'' when Team Rocket reminisced about their old Pokémon.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Jessie Arbok James Weezing depressed.png|thumb|220px|left|Weezing and Arbok depressed]]
[[File:James and Weezing.png|thumb|220px|Weezing and James]]
Weezing was extremely loyal to James, caring about him a great deal and only taking orders from him. In ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'', as a Koffing, it refused to attack {{Ash}}'s Pokémon on {{MTR}}'s orders, simply because he was not James. In addition, Koffing and Ekans were very sad about being separated from their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, and they cried happily upon reuniting with them.

Despite its loyalty to James, Weezing showed a moral conscience of its own, revealing in ''Island of the Giant Pokémon'' when it was a Koffing that there is no such thing as an evil Pokémon; rather, that moral responsibility lies with the {{pkmn|Trainer}}. There have also been rare occasions where Weezing and Arbok refused to obey their Trainers, such as in ''[[EP047|A Chansey Operation]]'', where they refused to attack a {{p|Chansey}} because it had treated the injuries they suffered from Team Rocket's schemes; and ''[[EP207|Got Miltank?]]'', where Weezing, along with the rest of Team Rocket's Pokémon, agreed to not attack the {{p|Miltank}} or any of the Pokémon at a Pokémon-exclusive oasis out of respect.

Weezing and Arbok, even before their [[Evolution]]s, were a deadly duo. In ''[[EP033|The Flame Pokémon-athon!]]'', Weezing defended Arbok after it was injured by a {{p|Ponyta}}'s flames and retaliating with {{m|Smog}}, even though its Smog ignited the flames. Weezing often provided the {{m|Smokescreen}} for Team Rocket's grand entrances and escapes. Its {{m|Sludge}} was also commonly used to blind Pokémon like in ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]''.

==Trivia==
[[File:James Weezing M22.png|thumb|250px|Weezing in ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]'']]
* Weezing spent 279 episodes in James's [[party]], longer than any of his other Pokémon.
** It also holds the record for the most appearances out of James's Pokémon at 115 main series episodes.
* In ''[[EP061|The Misty Mermaid]]'', Weezing is shown to be less dense than water, causing it to float.
* Though Team Rocket began chasing {{AP|Pikachu}} mainly because it was powerful enough to blow up the Pokémon Center, it should be noted that Koffing was part of the cause as its gas reacted with the electricity to create the explosion.
* Not including temporary Pokémon, Weezing, as a Koffing, was the first Pokémon belonging to a main character in the {{pkmn|animated series}} to use a {{m|Poison Gas|move}} it [[animated series move errors|cannot legally learn]] in the {{pkmn|games}}.
* Weezing is the first main character-owned Pokémon [[List of Pokémon by shape#Pokémon consisting of multiple bodies|to consist of multiple bodies]].
* [[Michael Haigney]]'s voice for Koffing was inspired by a man named Paul, who Haigney saw regularly while they worked at CBS Broadcasting. Paul wheeled a coffee wagon around the CBS office buildings and would announce his presence with a booming voice, asking "Coffee? Coffee?" as he passed by.<ref>Haigney, Michael.

'''Brock's Geodude''' (Japanese: '''タケシのイシツブテ''' ''Takeshi's Isitsubute'') was the second {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} acquired by {{an|Brock}} in {{aniseries|PTS}}; Brock has a Geodude in most of the {{pkmn|games}} he appears in as well.

==In animation==
===''Pokémon the Series''===
====History====
====={{aniseries|OS}}=====
======Kanto======
[[File:Brock Geodude Ash Pidgeotto.png|thumb|left|220px|Geodude fighting Pidgeotto]]
Geodude debuted in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', during {{an|Brock}}'s [[rematch]] with {{Ash}} at the [[Pewter Gym]]. Initially, it was used against {{AP|Pidgeotto}}; it was unfazed by Pidgeotto's {{m|Gust}}, demonstrating its strong defense, and as a result, it was able to defeat Pidgeotto without any trouble. Next, Geodude went up against {{AP|Pikachu}}, but was fried by a very powerful {{m|Thunderbolt}}, despite the fact that it is {{t|Ground|immune}} to {{t|Electric}} attacks.

Like most of Brock's Pokémon, Geodude received very little screentime. Brock typically used Geodude in situations in which he needed to battle, but could not use {{TP|Brock|Onix}} because of its enormous size. One such occasion was ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'', when Brock's Geodude joined a larger group of Geodude attacking {{TRT}}. Geodude acted a firefighter for the first time in ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]'', where it dropped dirt onto the burning [[Celadon Gym]]. It later battled alongside Pikachu against Team Rocket in ''[[EP028|Pokémon Fashion Flash]]'', where it used {{m|Seismic Toss}} against [[Jessie]]'s {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}} before being blinded by a {{m|Sludge}} attack from [[James]]' {{TP|James|Koffing}}.
[[File:Geodude dirt on fire.png|thumb|220px|Geodude fighting a fire]]
In ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]'', Brock entered Geodude in the [[P1 Grand Prix]]. It lost in the first round to {{OBP|Giant|EP029}}'s {{p|Hitmonlee}} which was used by Team Rocket. Initially, Brock sent Geodude back into the ring where it was kicked mercilessly, but on {{OBP|Anthony|EP029}}'s advice, Brock threw in the towel and apologized to Geodude for making it fight.

Geodude also dug a hole to rescue {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''. However, before the pair could be pulled to safety, {{p|Aerodactyl}} broke through the hole and held Ash captive. Geodude displayed the first use of its Tackle attack while breaching Team Rocket's house with Ash, {{AP|Pidgeotto}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{TP|Misty|Staryu}} in ''[[EP050|Who Gets to Keep Togepi?]]''.

Geodude's advantage over fire was once again demonstrated by helping Onix, {{AP|Charizard}}, and [[Blaine's Magmar]] dam the erupting [[Cinnabar Island]] volcano in ''[[EP059|Volcanic Panic]]''. It was kept cool by the efforts of Squirtle and Staryu.

======Orange Islands======
Geodude accompanied Brock to the [[Orange Islands]]. In ''[[EP082|A Scare in the Air]]'', during battle with Team Rocket, it hurled {{TP|James|Weezing}} through the side of a blimp, causing severe damage and forcing the blimp to crash land on [[Valencia Island]]. In ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]'', Geodude stayed with Brock at [[Professor Ivy]]'s lab. It was seen, along with {{TP|Brock|Onix}}, {{TP|Brock|Zubat}}, and {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}}, bidding goodbye to Ash and Misty as they parted ways with Brock. However, it returned to Pallet Town with him when he decided to leave Ivy.

====={{aniseries|GS}}=====
[[File:Misty polishing Geodude.png|thumb|left|220px|Misty polishing Geodude]]
When Brock returned to the group in ''[[EP115|A Tent Situation]]'', he brought Geodude with him, as revealed in ''[[EP130|A Bout With Sprout]]'', where it and the rest of Brock's team were shown off to the kids attending [[Earl Dervish]]'s [[Pokémon academy]].

In ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', Geodude was sent out alongside Brock and Misty's Pokémon to stop {{an|Giovanni}} and the rest of [[Team Rocket]] from recapturing {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}. Their distraction gave Ash the time he needed to take Mewtwo to the top of [[Mount Quena]] so it could be healed.

In ''[[EP193|Sick Daze]]'', it was revealed that Brock usually polished his Rock Pokémon, so Misty took up the job of polishing Geodude while Brock was sick. Geodude was captured by Team Rocket, but was rescued when Brock, {{TP|Brock|Pineco}}, and {{TP|Brock|Golbat}} intervened.

In ''[[EP196|Control Freak!]]'', Geodude dug a pathway to get into the ancient ruins. However, once inside, Jessie, in possession of the ancient Queen's mask and scepter, took control of Geodude, along with Onix and Pikachu. However, once Jessie, James and Meowth escaped with Pikachu on Onix, Geodude was left behind and snapped free of Jessie's control.

Geodude acted as a firefighter for the third time in ''[[EP253|Great Bowls of Fire!]]'', where it attempted to rescue the Pokémon trapped by a raging fire in the [[Dragon Holy Land]]. It also managed to save the sacred Prayer Flame from the burning shrine.

=====[[Pokémon Chronicles]]=====
Brock lent Geodude, as well as his {{TP|Brock|Crobat}} and {{TP|Brock|Steelix}}, to his younger brother [[Forrest]], who took on the role of [[Gym Leader]] of the [[Pewter Gym]] when Brock went to [[Hoenn]] to accompany Ash in ''[[HS01|The Family That Battles Together, Stays Together]]''.

====={{aniseries|RS}}=====
In ''[[AG177|Grating Spaces!]]'', Brock visited the Pewter Gym, where he was welcomed back by his Pokémon, including Geodude. Forrest ordered Geodude to Tackle {{MTR}}, and then it used its newly learned Sandstorm to create a distraction whilst Steelix created defenses with boulders. It then charged and took down [[Jessie]]'s {{p|Charizard}} with a Mega Punch.
[[File:Brock and Geodude.png|thumb|250px|Geodude and Brock]]

====={{aniseries|SM}}=====
In ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'', Geodude was sent out of its {{i|Poké Ball}} so it could be compared with its [[Alolan form]].

In ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', Brock used Geodude in a battle against [[Sophocles's Togedemaru]] and {{an|Lillie}}'s Alolan {{p|Vulpix}}, [[Snowy]]. It took [[Type#Type effectiveness|no damage]] from Togedemaru's {{m|Zing Zap}} and knocked away Snowy's {{m|Powder Snow}} with a {{m|Gyro Ball}}-based [[Counter Shield]], after which the battle was called off.

====Personality and characteristics====
Geodude received very little character development as it did not receive much screen time. However, it comes across as markedly mature and tough. This was shown by the fact that it shoved Larvitar into the sand headfirst, during ''[[EP259|Entei at Your Own Risk]]'', having no patience for babying it like Ash, Pikachu, and the others. It is very fond of its Trainer, who has trained it for many years, and was known to polish Geodude for maintenance. In ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', in contrast to its serious personality, it showed its excitement when seeing [[Misty's Psyduck]] again and even gave it a high-five.

===Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Brock Geodude PO.png|thumb|250px|Geodude in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
Brock's Geodude appeared in ''[[PO01|File 1: Red]]''. It was the first Pokémon Brock used during his Gym battle with {{OBP|Red|Origins}}. At first, Red chose to use his {{TP|Red|Charmander}}, but since Charmander's only attacking moves were {{m|Ember}} and {{m|Scratch}}, it was unable to deal practically any [[damage]] on the Rock-type Pokémon, which struck back with Tackle, taking out almost all of Charmander's Hit Points. Thanks to Brock's advice, Red decided to switch Pokémon for a better type match-up and sent out his {{p|Nidoran♂}} whose super effective {{m|Double Kick}} was more than enough to defeat Geodude.

====={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}=====
[[Brock]] owns six Geodude in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, each [[nickname]]d with names from "Geoone" to "Geosix", respectively, and he often carries them around himself like a belt. One of them appeared in ''[[PS005|Onix Is On!]]'' watching the battles with his Trainer.

'''Brock's Vulpix''' (Japanese: '''タケシのロコン''' ''Takeshi's Rokon'') was the fourth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} acquired by {{an|Brock}} in the [[Kanto]] [[region]], and the second he acquired within {{aniseries|PTS}}. It originally belonged to [[Suzie]] before being given to Brock, and was later returned to her.

==In animation==
===History===
===={{aniseries|OS}}====
=====Kanto=====
[[File:Suzie and Vulpix.png|thumb|left|220px|Vulpix and Suzie]]
Vulpix was given to Brock by [[Suzie]] in ''[[EP028|Pokémon Fashion Flash]]''. Suzie was Brock's idol, and Vulpix took a liking to him, which was surprising, as the little Pokémon had a very snobbish nature. It even liked Brock's homemade [[Pokémon food]]. It drove away {{TRT}} with a very powerful {{m|Fire Spin}}, driving home the point that a focus on outer beauty could eclipse a Pokémon's inner strength. Impressed with the way Brock cared for his {{TP|Brock|Geodude}} and [[Ash's Pikachu]], Suzie decided that Brock might be able to take better care of Vulpix than she could.

Like many of Brock's Pokémon, Vulpix received very little screentime compared to the Pokémon of other main characters. Brock was often seen {{pkmn|groomer|grooming and pampering}} it when it was featured. This led to events in ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]'', where Misty offered to [[trade]] her {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} for Vulpix, being sick of her Psyduck's headache and annoyed at Brock's compliments of Vulpix. Later the group met the [[Eevee brothers]] in ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]'' who were throwing an [[Evolution]] party for their younger brother [[Mikey]] to evolve his {{p|Eevee}}. Pyro of the Eevee Brothers offered Brock a [[Fire Stone]] to evolve Vulpix, to which Brock declined, stating that he didn't want to force Vulpix to evolve if it didn't want to.

Vulpix battled under Brock's ownership for the first time in ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]''. It easily defeated Team Rocket with a Flamethrower, earning the attention of a {{DL|Gym|Yas Gym}} recruiter.

During the [[Princess Festival]] in ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'', Brock lent Vulpix to {{an|Misty}} for the [[Queen of the Princess Festival]] as she wanted a more balanced [[Party|team]]. It was seen defeating a {{p|Tangela}} with Flamethrower en route to the final. However, it was defeated easily by [[Jessie's Lickitung]]'s tongue attack.
[[File:Brock and Vulpix.png|thumb|220px|Vulpix and Brock]]
Vulpix auditioned for the lead role in ''{{DL|Movies in the Pokémon world|Pokémon in Love}}'', [[Cleavon Schpielbunk]]'s film, in ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quacktion!]]''. However, it abandoned the stage once it became apparent that the lead {{p|Wigglytuff}} was impossibly picky.

Brock also used Vulpix to help Ash train sometimes, such as in ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]'', when it fought Pikachu in a training match, resulting in the two of them discovering the ruins of [[Pokémopolis]].

=====[[Orange Islands]]=====
In ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]'', when Brock decided to stay with [[Professor Ivy]] while Ash and {{an|Misty}} explored the [[Orange Islands]], Vulpix remained with him. It was seen, along with {{TP|Brock|Onix}}, {{TP|Brock|Geodude}}, and {{TP|Brock|Zubat}}, bidding goodbye to Ash and Misty as they parted ways with Brock. However, it returned with him to Pallet Town when he decided to leave Ivy.

===={{aniseries|GS}}====
[[File:Brock Suzie Beauty Contest.png|thumb|left|220px|Vulpix in the Pokémon Beauty Contest]]
When Brock returned to the group in ''[[EP115|A Tent Situation]]'', he brought Vulpix with him, as revealed in ''[[EP130|A Bout With Sprout]]'', where it and the rest of Brock's team were shown off to the kids attending [[Earl Dervish]]'s [[Pokémon academy]].

Vulpix battled [[Miki]]'s {{p|Skarmory}} in ''[[EP152|Hot Matches!]]''. Its Flamethrower was dodged by Skarmory via {{m|Agility}}. Vulpix attempted to outrun Skarmory with its own Agility, but Skarmory used {{m|Steel Wing}} on Vulpix, rendering it [[Fainting|unable to continue battling]].

In ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'', Vulpix was called up against [[Molly Hale]]. It battled against {{p|Teddiursa}}, where the two traded multiple blows with Quick Attack and {{m|Fury Swipes}} before Vulpix collapsed.

Brock later met up with Suzie again in ''[[EP169|Beauty and the Breeder]]'' and returned Vulpix to her. He said at the time that he had always felt that Vulpix wasn't really his and was just looking after it for a time. Brock and Suzie later entered the [[Pokémon Beauty Contest]] as partners, with Vulpix being their Pokémon of choice for the event.

Vulpix reappeared in a flashback in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]''.
{{-}}

===Personality and characteristics===
Vulpix proved to be a rather particular Pokémon. It quickly took a liking and was affectionate towards {{an|Brock}}, who was often seen {{pkmn|groomer|grooming and pampering}} it. Though Vulpix was very temperamental and wary towards new people, as seen when it used Flamethrower on {{an|Misty}} in ''[[EP028|Pokémon Fashion Flash]]''. [[Suzie]] explained that Vulpix doesn't like being touched by strangers. This was further showcased in ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quacktion!]]'' when it left the stage because a {{p|Wigglytuff}} was not to its liking. Despite its cute exterior, Vulpix possesses a lot of power, which was showcased on a few occasions.

===Moves used===
{{anmov/h|fire||Brock Vulpix {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 4}}|0=Flamethrower|1=Quick Attack|2=Fire Spin|3=Agility}}.png|Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 4}}|0=Flamethrower|1=Quick Attack|2=Fire Spin|3=Agility}}}}

* Brock told Vulpix to use Agility in ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]''. This was a [[Animated series move errors#Dub only|dubbing error]]. In the original, it was commanded to use {{m|Quick Attack}}.

{{cardlist/footer|Fire}}

==Trivia==
* Since Brock mentioned in ''[[EP169|Beauty and the Breeder]]'' that he always knew it never really was his Pokémon to begin with, even though he explicitly caught it with a [[Poké Ball]] in its [[EP028|debut episode]], Vulpix can be considered the only Pokémon not to be owned by a main character, despite being placed in said Trainer's Poké Ball.
** In its debut episode, Vulpix was able to be caught by one of Brock's Poké Balls without any problem, even though it was already Suzie's Pokémon.
* Not including temporary Pokémon, Vulpix is Brock's only Pokémon to no longer be under his possession.
* Vulpix is the only {{type|Fire}} Pokémon Brock has owned.
* Vulpix was the first Fire-type Pokémon owned by one of [[Ash's friends]].
* When Brock obtained Vulpix, he caught it by simply taking out a {{i|Poké Ball}} and opening it, thus drawing Vulpix inside without making contact. This is the only known Pokémon capture without a direct physical contact between Poké Ball and Pokémon that has occurred.

'''Dodrio''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ドードリオ''' ''Dodorio'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Doduo}} starting at [[level]] 31.

==Biology==
Dodrio is a large, wingless, three-headed [[wp:Bird|avian]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Each head has a long, sharp beak and a black V-shaped, feather crest. It has bristly brown feathers covering its head and upper body, while its lower half has a smooth layer of black feathers. Its tail consists of three pale red feathers with lighter tips. Its wingless body rests on two long and slender, but powerful legs with feet that have three clawed toes in front and one in back. A male has black necks, whereas a female has brown necks; both genders have brown legs.

Each head has its own working brain and distinct personality. Each head represents and expresses either sorrow, anger, or joy. Despite being separate, it has the innate ability to use all three of its brains to collect data, formulate, and then execute complex plans and strategies. However, on occasion, it may overthink, which causes it to become immobilized and unable to carry out any action whatsoever. Being separate individuals on the same body, the three heads will continue to bicker until they, or at least one of them, gets to eat. This satisfies the other two heads, quelling them and temporarily ending their infighting. The strongest of Dodrio's heads and the thickest neck will become the leader and gain primary control of the body. Another form of adaptation that it has acquired is the ability to have at least one head alert at all times. Extreme caution is advised when all three heads are facing separate directions. It is in this state that it is the most dangerous and going near it may result in a severe pecking.

Along with its three heads, it has three sets of hearts and lungs as well. This allows it to efficiently oxygenate and pump blood throughout its body, thus giving it increased endurance to run vast distances without rest. It is especially prone to race vigorously across {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grassy plains}}, even in arid seasons with little rainfall. As a result, despite being slower than {{p|Doduo}}, Dodrio can keep running for an even longer time. As mentioned in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Dodrio is known to usually sleep standing up.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> Each of the three heads taking turns sleeping while one head stays awake. However, should Dodrio become very tired, even the head that remains awake may start to doze off.

===Evolution===
Dodrio evolves from {{p|Doduo}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:Dodrio Fly Stad.png|thumb|250px|Dodrio flying in [[Pokémon Stadium]]]]
* While one of its heads is saying something in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]], the others say ''me too'' or ''mine too'', but its pre-evolved form's other head will not.
* Dodrio is the only Pokémon whose National Pokédex number is the whole number portion of its weight in kilograms.
* According to its Pokédex entries, {{p|Doduo}} can run at 60 mph (100 km/h), while Dodrio can only run at nearly 40 mph (60 km/h). However, Dodrio's base {{stat|Speed}} stat is higher.
* Dodrio is featured in the [[Generation III]] wireless mini-game, [[Dodrio Berry Picking]], where it is required that players own a Dodrio to be able to play.
* Before [[Generation IV]], the necks of normal Dodrio were beige (which became the female neck color), while its {{p|Doduo|pre-Evolution's}} necks were black (which became the male neck color).
* Dodrio and Doduo are the only {{type|Flying}} {{DL|List of Pokémon by shape|Pokémon consisting of a head and legs}}.

===Origin===
Despite its name, Dodrio seems like it has more in common with {{wp|ostrich}}es than {{wp|dodo}}s. It also seems to show some similarities to the {{wp|moa}}, an extinct flightless bird; and the {{wp|emu}}, another flightless bird. It also resembles the {{wp|kiwi (bird)|kiwi}} in some ways as well. Its crests also indicate it was based on {{wp|cassowary|cassowaries}}. The triple head might be a biological mutation. It may also draw inspiration from the {{wp|Asura (Buddhism)|Buddhist asuras}}, three-headed demigods whose faces are sometimes said to each embody one of three emotions: joy, anger, and sorrow. This connection was alluded to in its [[Pokédex entry]] in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP033|The Flame Pokémon-athon!]]'' and in its entry in {{g|Stadium}}.

====Name origin====
Dodrio may be a combination of ''{{wp|dodo}}'' (an extinct, flightless bird) and ''trio'' (group of three).

Dodorio may be a combination of ドードー ''dodo'', 鳥 ''tori'' (bird), and トリオ ''trio''.

'''Raichu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ライチュウ''' ''Raichu'') is an {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pikachu}} when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]]. It is the final form of {{p|Pichu}}.

In [[Alola]], Raichu has a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Psychic}} [[regional form]]: '''{{rf|Alolan}} Raichu'''. It evolves from Pikachu when exposed to a Thunder Stone. All Pikachu in Alola will evolve into this form regardless of their origin. It is the final form of Pichu in the Alola [[region]].

[[Kanto]]nian Raichu can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into two forms:
*'''Mega Raichu X''' using the [[Raichunite X]].
*'''Mega Raichu Y''' using the [[Raichunite Y]].
Both forms of Mega Raichu were introduced in the [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]] for {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. Alolan Raichu cannot Mega Evolve.

==Biology==
[[File:Raichu OS concept art.png|thumb|200px|left|Concept art of Raichu for the [[original series]]]]
Raichu is a bipedal, {{wp|rodent}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Even though it's classified as bipedal, Raichu usually gets around on all fours. It is covered in brown/dark orange fur and has a white belly. Its bifurcated ears are brown on the outside, yellow on the insides, and end in a distinctive curl. There is a circular yellow marking on each cheek where its electric sacs are, and it has a triangular, dark brown nose. Its arms and feet have patches of brown fur at the end, and the soles of its long feet are tan with a circular orange pad in the center. On its back are two horizontal brown stripes. Its long, thin tail has a lightning bolt-shaped end, with [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|the tip being chipped]] on [[Gender|females]].

Raichu's tail serves as a ground to protect itself from its own high-voltage power by releasing electricity into the surface. Conversely, it can gather electricity when planted underground like a rod or from the atmosphere. Raichu exudes a weak electrical charge from its body which makes it glow slightly in the dark. It can store over 100,000 volts of electricity, which is enough to knock out foes several times its size, such as a {{p|Copperajah}} or {{p|Dragonite}}. If Raichu's sacs are fully charged, its ears will stand straight up, and its muscles will be stimulated. However, possibly as a result of stress, it becomes more aggressive as it stores electricity and may even threaten its {{pkmn|Trainer}}. If its sacs are excessively charged, it discharges electricity through its tail into the ground, leading to scorched patches near its nest. Being the result of [[Evolution]] via [[Evolution stone]], Raichu is rarely found in the {{pkmn2|wild}}, though they can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests and woodlands}}. Part of the reason why Raichu is rarely seen with Trainers is because people prefer the look it had as a {{p|Pikachu}}. As revealed in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'', Raichu is not capable of learning speed-based [[move]]s such as {{m|Agility}} and {{m|Quick Attack}} upon evolving and is only able to when it is still a Pikachu. Raichu, along with Pikachu and {{p|Pichu}}, is related to {{p|Pachirisu}}. In {{g|Sleep}}, it is shown that Raichu sometimes releases electricity while sleeping, so anyone who approaches it is at risk of being electrocuted. It may also plant its tail into the ground as it rests.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>

Raichu and its pre-evolved forms are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Volt Tackle}}.
{{left clear}}

===Forms===
Raichu has a [[regional form]], {{rf|Alolan}} Raichu, and two [[Mega Evolution]]s: Mega Raichu X and Mega Raichu Y.

====Alolan Raichu====
In the [[Alola]] [[region]], Raichu has lighter coloring and more rounded features. Its eyes are blue with yellow half-circles along the bottom. It has large yellow ears with an inner spiral toward the base and brown on the inside. These ears are thicker and less pointed than a standard Raichu's ear. In addition to its white belly, Alolan Raichu has white markings on its paws with bright yellow lines between its digits. The stripes on its back have also turned white, and there is a small, white circular marking on each heel. The lightning bolt-shaped tip of its tail has rounded edges.

By gathering its psychic power in its tail, Alolan Raichu can ride it like a {{wp|surfboard}} and float in the air. It emits a sweet aroma from its cheeks if someone rubs them, though it also causes them to get a light shock. This is thought to be connected to its psychic abilities. Alolan Raichu's origins were initially a mystery, with the [[Human|people]] of Alola jokingly suggesting that its form changed because it ate too many sweet and fluffy round pancakes,<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/alolan-raichu/ Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon | Alolan Raichu] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160812052414/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/alolan-raichu/ archived])</ref> especially those made with a secret Alolan recipe. However, researchers believe this transformation was caused by its diet in general, as well as Alola's weather and climate. Alolan Raichu uses psychokinesis to control electricity and attacks foes with star-shaped thunderbolts. It is sometimes known by the name "''hodad''". Befitting its surfboard-like tail, it is a talented surfer which uses its psychic abilities to ride waves and practice its skills on beaches. While normally found in Alola, it has been seen in the [[Coastal Biome]] of the [[Terarium]] during rare [[mass outbreak]] [[Poké Portal News|events]].

Alolan Raichu is the only known Pokémon capable of using the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Stoked Sparksurfer}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Surge Surfer}} as an [[Ability]].

</gallery>

====Mega Raichu X====
As Mega Raichu X, it takes on a color scheme reminiscent of {{p|Pikachu}} with its red cheeks and bright yellow fur, but its overall appearance retains a distinctive resemblance to regular Raichu.<ref name=ZAsite>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-gb/news/mega-dimension-hoopa The Mythical Pokémon Hoopa Holds the Key to the Story | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref><ref name=ZAsiteJP">[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/legends_z-a_dlc/ja/pokemon/250912_01/#anc02 ライチュウがメガシンカしたすがた、「メガライチュウＸ」「メガライチュウＹ」を発見！｜『Pokémon LEGENDS Z-A M次元ラッシュ』公式サイト (Discover Raichu's Mega Evolved forms, "Mega Raichu X" and "Mega Raichu Y"! | "Pokémon LEGENDS Z-A M-Dimension Rush" Official Website)]</ref> Its original brown eyes have become red. Its tail has split into two identical tails, which are similar in shape to Pikachu's tail, except for the zig-zagging black fur coloration at the base of each tail. Both of its arms and ears are much larger. The yellow insides of its ears are gone, and its ears now sport a solid black color with golden tips. It also now has two prominent fang-like {{wp|Canine tooth|canine teeth}}, though artwork often depicts it with its left or right tooth exposed when its mouth is open. When using electricity, its cheeks and its tails glow brightly.

Mega Raichu X's two tails can generate an electromagnetic force to create enough repulsion for it to float and swiftly propel itself in the air. It focuses its electric power into its fists as its primary method of attack, allowing it to take down much larger opponents in one strike. It has ample subcutaneous fat which stores up electricity, augmenting its defenses and allowing it to maintain a high electrical output for long periods of time.<ref name=ZAsite/><ref name=ZAsiteJP"/> Its appearance while levitating resembles the letter "X", and its ears and forked tail produce 50 million volts of electricity as it flies.

</gallery>

====Mega Raichu Y====
As Mega Raichu Y, it takes on an appearance distinctly resembling Pikachu,<ref name=ZAsite/><ref name=ZAsiteJP"/> but it retains its original yellow cheeks, though its fur is a lighter shade of an orangish brown. Its brown eyes have become blue, and the lightning bolt-shaped tip of its tail is enlarged. The patches of brown fur at the ends of its arms and feet are now gone, as well as the yellow insides of its ears, which now sport a solid orange color with black tips. A pair of horn-like yellow protrusions made of fur jut out of its ears, resembling two lightning bolts. The ends of these "horns" have the distinctive curls found on the ears of regular Raichu. Additionally, Mega Raichu Y now has two prominent {{wp|Canine tooth|canines}}. When using electricity, its cheeks and horn-like fur glow brightly; in key artwork for [[Mega Dimension]], Mega Raichu Y's teeth are also shown glowing. Its appearance with its tail extended resembles the letter "Y".

Mega Raichu Y's greatest strength is its ability to unleash its power instantaneously, making it excel in short, decisive {{pkmn|battle}}s. The amount of electricity it generates from its sacs is amplified, coursing in a zig-zag pattern between its tail and "horns"; this allows it to use powerful {{type|Electric}} [[move]]s. Amassing so much energy gives it a wild and combative temperament, so it prefers a straightforward approach to fighting instead of performing tactical maneuvers.<ref name=ZAsite/><ref name=ZAsiteJP"/> Mega Raichu Y fires "Y"-shaped electric bolts from the tip of its tail and the spiky tufts of fur growing out of its temples.

===Evolution===
Raichu [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pikachu}} and is the final form of {{p|Pichu}}.

In [[Alola]], Raichu has a [[regional form]] that evolves from Pikachu and is the final form of Pichu in said [[region]].

===Main series===
====Major appearances====
=====[[Lt. Surge's Raichu]]=====
In ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'', [[Lt. Surge]] has a Raichu that defeated [[Ash's Pikachu]] with its sheer power during [[Ash Ketchum]]'s [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}. After unsuccessfully discussing the prospect of [[Evolution]] with {{ash|Pikachu}} to match Raichu's power, Ash used a strategy relying on Pikachu's speed to defeat Raichu during a [[rematch]] the next day.

=====[[Goh's Raichu]]=====
In ''[[JN035|Gotta Catch a'' ''What?!]]'', a [[Gender|female]] Pikachu that was newly {{pkmn2|caught}} by [[Goh]] evolved into Raichu by using a [[Thunder Stone]].

=====Other=====
In ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]'', a Raichu caused trouble for {{AP|Pikachu}} and his friends at the [[Pokémon Theme Park]], alongside a {{p|Marill}}, {{p|Snubbull}}, and {{p|Cubone}}.

In ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quack-tion]]'', {{OBP|Katrina|EP069}} decided to use her Raichu, nicknamed Raichie, in the [[Cleavon Schpielbunk]] film "{{DL|Movies in the Pokémon world|Pokémon in Love}}".

In ''[[EP090|Stage Fight!]]'', [[Kay]]'s Raichu was a part a {{pkmn|Showboat|stage show}} that featured "{{pkmn2|talking}}" Pokémon, but it had stage fright and was very timid around others due to an incident where it startled Kay with its electricity when they first met. Raichu eventually gained back its confidence around Kay and helped defeat Team Rocket.

In ''[[EP139|Mild 'n Wooly]]'', [[Ellen]] commonly used a Raichu to round up a herd of {{p|Mareep}} with its {{m|Thunderbolt}}.

In ''[[DP024|Cooking Up a Sweet Story]]'', [[Abigail]]'s missing Pikachu was revealed to have evolved into a Raichu when it returned.

A Raichu appeared in ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'', under the ownership of [[Sho]], who sought to have possession of one Pokémon each from the Pikachu evolutionary line. It battled [[Ash's Pikachu]] twice in that episode, with Raichu being victorious the first time and Pikachu triumphing during the rematch.

In ''[[DP088|Camping It Up!]]'', the [[Pokémon Summer Academy]] lent a Raichu to {{Ash}} for {{pkmn|training}}. It has a very skittish Raichu for its students.

In ''[[DP165|Flint Sparks the Fire!]]'' and ''[[DP166|The Fleeing Tower of Sunyshore!]]'', [[Volkner]] has a Raichu that is his main battling Pokémon. Raichu briefly reappeared again alongside Volkner during the ending credits of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

A female Raichu debuted in ''[[XY065|Good Friends, Great Training!]]'', under the ownership of {{an|Tierno}}. She reappeared in ''[[XY126|Valuable Experience for All!]]'', where Tierno used her in his battle against Ash along with {{TP|Tierno|Wartortle}}, battling Pikachu and {{AP|Goodra}}, but they were both eventually defeated. Raichu later battled [[Sawyer]], defeating {{p|Aegislash}} before being recalled after fighting {{p|Slurpuff}}. Raichu later battled {{TP|Sawyer|Sceptile}} but soon lost.

==Trivia==

* Raichu and its pre-[[Evolution|evolved]] form both share their {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Rattata}}, {{p|Raticate}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, {{p|Sandslash}}, {{p|Pawmi}}, and {{p|Pawmo}}. They are all known as the Mouse {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, though Rattata and Raticate were originally called the Rat Pokémon prior to [[Generation III]].
* In {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, there is a {{tc|Scientist}} at the [[Cinnabar Lab|Pokémon Lab]] in [[Cinnabar Island]] who will [[trade]] a Raichu for an {{p|Electrode}}. If the player talks to him after the trade, he will mention that the Raichu evolved, which is not possible as it is already fully evolved. This mistake was due to the original translation of the script of the {{jpn|Pokémon Blue Version|Japanese Blue}} (in which Scientist traded a {{p|Graveler}} for a {{p|Kadabra}}) rather than that of {{game|Red and Green|s}}. This error was corrected in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, as the script was re-translated.
* Raichu's FireRed and {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Sun}} [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] discuss Raichu's electricity being able to knock out an {{wp|Indian elephant}}. In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, this is changed to {{p|Copperajah}}, which is based on the Indian elephant.
** This is also the only Pokédex entry in the game to mention a Pokémon not obtainable in [[Hisui]].
* Several Pokédex entries say Raichu can discharge up to {{m|Thunderbolt|100,000 volts}}. However, its {{g|Stadium}} entry instead says that it can discharge up to 10,000 volts. This is likely a translation error due to the way numbers are read in Japanese, where 100,000 is literally read as "ten ten-thousands".
* Although {{p|Pikachu}} is the [[first partner Pokémon]] of {{game|Yellow}}, it is not possible to directly make it evolve into Raichu in the game, so it must be traded from {{2v2|Red|Blue}}. Pikachu's refusal to evolve is a reference to [[Ash's Pikachu]] in {{aniseries|PTS}}.
* Raichu is the 26th Pokémon in both the [[National Pokédex]] and the [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number in Pokémon Sun and Moon|Alola Pokédex]] in {{g|Sun and Moon}}.
* Alolan Raichu is:
** the only Pokémon with its [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]].
** the only [[regional form]] of a Pokémon with an exclusive [[Z-Move]], {{m|Stoked Sparksurfer}}.
*** along with Pikachu, the only [[electric rodent]] with an exclusive Z-Move.
** the first dual-type electric rodent without any immunities.
** the only [[Alolan form]] of a Pokémon available in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} (outside of [[Poké Portal News]] [[mass outbreak]]s) that can only be obtained by [[transfer]]ring it from other games.
** the only Pokémon whose Alolan form is obtainable in {{g|Legends: Z-A}} without the [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]].
* Raichu is:
** along with {{p|Slowbro}}, the only Pokémon to have both a [[Mega Evolution]] and a regional form, as well as the only electric rodent with either.
** the first Pokémon to be revealed to have two Mega Evolutions since {{g|X and Y}}.
** the first Pokémon whose Mega Evolutions were revealed in promotional trailers for the Mega Dimension DLC of Pokémon Legends: Z-A.
** the last Pokémon whose Mega Evolutions were introduced before the aforementioned game's release, along with the Mega-Evolved forms of the fully evolved [[Kalos first partner Pokémon]].
* Raichu is the most common Pokémon found amongst [[rival]]s, being used by five of them.
* The Raichu family is the only evolutionary line to have access to Mega Evolution, exclusive Z-Moves, and [[Gigantamax]].

===Concept and development===
Raichu and {{rf|Alolan}} Raichu were designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]].<ref name=USUM>"What It Takes to Create a Pokémon." Interview with [[Ken Sugimori]] in ''[[Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon Edition: The Official National Pokédex]]'', p. 21</ref> The concept of Alolan Raichu came from [[Masafumi Nukita]], which also involved writing its [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]].<ref>https://archive.is/tS5lL</ref>

Raichu originally had an evolved form named [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs#Gorochu|Gorochu]] (Japanese: '''ゴロチュウ''' ''Gorochū''), which would have had two horns and fangs.<ref>[https://www.yomiuri.co.jp/fukayomi/20180501-OYT8T50139/3/ Page 3 of Yomiuri interview] with [[Ken Sugimori]], [[Kōji Nishino]], and [[Atsuko Nishida]] (Japanese)</ref><ref>''[https://www.siliconera.com/pikachu-originally-second-evolution-called-gorochu-large-fangs-two-horns/ Pikachu Originally Had A Second Evolution Called ‘Gorochu’ With Large Fangs And Two Horns]'' — SiliconEra</ref> [[Ken Sugimori]] stated that while there was nothing wrong with its appearance, it was nonetheless omitted from {{game|Red and Green|s}}, as the staff found that the game balance was better without it, and the limited game space meant that some Pokémon originally designed to evolve twice were changed to evolve only once.<ref name=Pokemon.com>[https://web.archive.org/web/20211108083831/https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/creator-profile-the-creators-of-pikachu/ Creator Profile: The Creators of Pikachu - Pokemon.com] (archived)</ref>

===Origin===
Raichu's legs and long tail resemble those of a {{wp|jerboa}} or {{wp|kangaroo rat}}.

{{rf|Alolan}} Raichu may be based on the concept of [[surfing Pikachu]] and the sport of {{wp|surfing}} itself, which originated in and is the state sport of {{wp|Hawaii}} (the inspiration for the [[Alola]] [[region]]), as well as the [[wiktionary:hodad|hodad]] concept of being a fake surfer; ''hodad'' is referred to as another name for Alolan Raichu in its [[Pokédex]] entry in {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Pokémon Ultra Sun}}. Its design and {{t|Psychic}} [[type]] may have been influenced by [[Puka]], a surfing {{p|Pikachu}} in {{aniseries|PTS}} which had psychic powers and blue eyes. In the {{g|Stadium series}}, {{pkmn|Colosseum}}, {{XD}}, and {{pkmn|Battle Revolution}}, Raichu rides on its tail when using the move {{m|Surf}}. According to [[Ken Sugimori]], he asked [[Atsuko Nishida]] to design Alolan Raichu since she was the one who had worked on the original Raichu design. Nishida insisted that Raichu "has always been cuter than people might think", and designed Alolan Raichu to emphasize its cuteness; in particular, she designed it with the motif of {{wp|bread}}. The in-game lore of people believing that its [[Evolution]] is induced by eating pancakes was added afterward to play up the concept.<ref name=USUM/> The fact that Alolan Raichu was designed after bread may have also inspired the sweet fragrance it can release from its cheeks, as well as the look of its paws which resemble {{wp|whipped cream}} decorations, {{wp|cream puff}}s, or ''{{wp|baozi}}''.

Both Mega Raichu X and Mega Raichu Y resemble their assigned letters, and also take elements from Pikachu's design, such as its colors and the shape of its body and tail. Mega Raichu X takes after regular Raichu, with its color scheme and tail shape being inspired by Pikachu<ref name=ZAsite/> while retaining the same body shape. Mega Raichu Y appears to be the inverse, with its body shape being inspired by Pikachu's<ref name=ZAsite/> while its colors and tail shape remain mostly the same. Mega Raichu X's {{Shiny}} coloration resembles that of regular Raichu, whereas Mega Raichu Y's is instead similar to Pikachu's. Old media has also portrayed Pikachu as having a circular spot on its belly, a feature that Raichu has in all of its [[form]]s. They could also be inspired by the scrapped [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs#Gorochu|Gorochu]] species, as it was described as having fangs and two horns; both versions of Mega Raichu have fangs, and Mega Raichu Y is mentioned to have horn-like fur. The latter's rabbit-like appearance suggests that it may be inspired by the [[wp:Jackalope|jackalope]].

====Name origin====
Raichu may be a combination of 雷 ''rai'' (thunder) and チューチュー ''chūchū'' (onomatopoeia for the squeak of a mouse).

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

At Brock's persistent request, our heroes stop by Caesar Street, a town of breeders famous for its Pokémon beauty salons. Brock makes a special request to visit a salon called Coron. The owner of the Beauty Salon, Coron, is a breeder who has received the most superior ranking in the Pokémon Breeder Contest for three years straight. Recently, a store called Salon Roquet has been introducing outrageous fashions, making wild profits and disrupting long-term shop-owners.

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} find themselves on [[Scissor Street]], also referred to as {{tc|Pokémon Breeder|Breeder}}'s Lane. {{an|Brock}} explains that it is well known for its high-end {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} salons and beauty parlors. {{an|Misty}} pauses outside of one venue in particular to examine a poster featuring a {{p|Koffing}} and {{p|Ekans}} adorned with a number of gaudy accessories. Inside the salon, named Salon Roquet, {{TRT}} enacts their latest moneymaking scheme, running a bustling beauty parlor. They give a woman's {{p|Raichu}} and {{p|Dodrio}} a makeover, much to the displeasure of both Pokémon. Misty considers getting in line, but is interrupted by Brock who announces that he has found the store he is looking for. Ash and Misty follow him a short distance to a less crowded storefront, whereupon Brock is suddenly struck by a fit of apparent nervousness and freezes. Oblivious, Ash and Misty enter first and are greeted by a feminine voice that snaps Brock back to reality.

Inside, they meet a Pokémon Breeder named [[Suzie]], after she finishes gently massaging a {{p|Chansey}} for a customer. However, Misty quickly shifts her attention to a {{p|Vulpix}} that is fast asleep on a chair. Ash scans it with his [[Pokédex]] while Misty approaches the sleeping Pokémon. Misty, enthralled by the cute Vulpix, picks it up while offering numerous compliments. However, Vulpix, annoyed by the interruption of its nap, fires a {{m|Flamethrower}} at Misty's face before falling back asleep. Brock, who has been unusually silent up to this point, suddenly blurts out that he wants to become Suzie's pupil. Everyone is shocked, especially Suzie, who explains she does not have time for students due to her busy workload. After Ash asks, Brock explains that Suzie is a highly accomplished and popular Pokémon Breeder. Misty asks about Vulpix, but Ash cuts Brock off before he can go into detail about how terrific a model the Pokémon is.

Later, Suzie serves tea for the three while {{AP|Pikachu}} happily munches on some food. Suzie compliments Pikachu's shiny coat, and asks if Brock makes his {{pkmn|food}}. Brock replies that he does, and Misty explains that it is Brock's own recipe. Suzie explains that she too got into [[Pokémon breeding]] because of her interest in Pokémon nutrition. During this exchange, Vulpix suddenly joins Pikachu in eating his food. This surprises Suzie, who explains that Vulpix usually does not eat anything she has not made herself.

Misty decides to ask Suzie about all the flashily dressed Pokémon they saw outside. Suzie points out that ever since Salon Roquet opened up, {{pkmn|Trainer}}s have been focusing on making their Pokémon look as flashy as possible, though Suzie laments that this clashes with her goal of bringing out the inner strengths and personality of Pokémon. Ash agrees, explaining that he feels showing off is a waste of time. However, Misty counters that even Pokémon like to dress up once in a while. This leads to an argument between Ash and Misty about what is more important for a Pokémon and its Trainer. Ash jokingly suggests that, if fashion is so important to Misty, she should take her {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} over to Salon Roquet. Misty loves the idea and calls out Psyduck, much to Ash's amusement.

After Misty heads out, Suzie expresses doubt in her own methods, but Brock and Ash quickly reassure her. Brock suggests a way in which Suzie can compete with the growing popularity of salons like Salon Roquet. Soon after, Suzie explains that if a Pokémon has been injured in a battle, it should be given a therapeutic massage, which she demonstrates on Pikachu. As Brock had hoped, Suzie's lecture starts to draw the crowd away from Salon Roquet. As Suzie, Ash, and Brock demonstrate the importance of good communication between Pokémon and Trainer, Trainers arriving from Salon Roquet begin to doubt if they made the right choice.

Meanwhile, at Salon Roquet, [[Jessie]] orders {{MTR}} to send in the next customer, though they are shocked to see it is Misty with her Psyduck. Team Rocket drag her in for a makeover of her own, with her protests that Psyduck was the one who needed the makeover falling on deaf ears. Despite this, she loves the bright and flashy results, and asks the undercover Jessie and [[James]] to continue. Annoyed at the attention being given to Misty, Meowth mentions Pikachu and that they should interrogate her until she tells them where he is, tipping Misty off to his identity. Jessie and James begin attacking Meowth, chastising him for blowing their cover, as they had already intended to do what he had suggested prior to his outburst. Meowth scratches them, revealing their true identities. Misty screams that she will never tell Team Rocket anything, but James grabs her and threatens to paint her face like {{wp|Frankenstein}} if she does not. Thinking that over for a moment, she suddenly realizes that Psyduck has gone missing. In fact, Psyduck has run back to Suzie's salon, where it tells Pikachu that Misty is in trouble. Pikachu signals that Misty is in danger, and takes off, with Brock, Ash, and Suzie following close behind.

They make their way back to Salon Roquet, where they face off against Team Rocket in order to save Misty, who they have tied to a chair. They are startled and amused to see what Team Rocket has done to Misty's face, but Team Rocket defends the bizarre makeover, claiming they are conducting important beauty research. This starts an argument between Suzie and Team Rocket about whether beauty is on the inside or the outside. Meowth, however, interrupts by revealing Team Rocket's fraudulent intentions. Team Rocket offers a trade: Misty for Pikachu. Ash refuses and challenges them to a {{pkmn|battle}}. However, James pushes a button on a microphone which summons their latest invention, the Salon Roquet Battling Platform.

Jessie sends out {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}}, and James sends out {{TP|James|Koffing}}, both of which are still dressed in their ridiculous outfits. Ash sends out Pikachu, and Brock uses {{TP|Brock|Geodude}}. Brock orders a {{m|Seismic Toss}}, and Geodude carries Ekans into the air and flings it down. However, Ekans turns the momentum of the throw into a spinning wheel strike and slams into Pikachu. Ash calls for a {{m|Thunder Shock}}, but the spinning of Koffing and Ekans makes their extravagant outfits deflect the lightning. James orders {{m|Sludge}}, blinding both Pikachu and Geodude. But as Team Rocket's Pokémon are sent in to finish them off, Ekans and Koffing end up tripping over their outfits, halting the attack. Meowth tries to help the tangled Pokémon, but Vulpix cuts in. Suzie makes her stand and exclaims that if people only focus on their Pokémon's outer beauty, its inner strength will be lost. Vulpix's powerful {{m|Fire Spin}} drives the message home and sends Team Rocket blasting off. Brock takes the opportunity to explain to the crowd that Vulpix is a prime example that a cute exterior hides inner strength. The crowd, taking the words to heart, begin to remove all the flashy items from their Pokémon and wipe off the applied makeup. Misty, who was accidentally charred by the Fire Spin, is furious at Psyduck for not helping her, unaware of the part that it had alerted her friends she was in danger, and demands that the {{t|Water}} type untie her.

Back at her salon, Suzie thanks Ash and his friends for helping her regain confidence in her beliefs. She plans to leave the salon for a while and go on a journey to learn what it truly means to be a Pokémon Breeder, and proclaims she is still a student and now Brock's rival. Suzie says that Brock is the first person other than herself that Vulpix has shown affection to, and asks that Brock take care of {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}} for her while she is on her journey. Brock gratefully accepts, and transfers the small {{pkmn|category|Fox Pokémon}} to its new {{i|Poké Ball|Ball}}. Meanwhile, Ash looks at Misty's made-up face again and cracks up laughing, angering her.

Soon enough, Ash and his friends are on their way once again and wave goodbye to Suzie. Meanwhile, Team Rocket runs past, pursued by a crowd of their angry former customers.

==Trivia==
* [[Meowth's Song]] replaced [[One Hundred Fifty-One]] as the [[List of Japanese ending themes|Japanese ending theme]].
* The outfits [[Jessie]] and [[James]] wear in this episode are a [[List of references to popular culture in Pokémon|reference]] to the two main characters from the manga series ''{{wp|The Rose of Versailles}}''. These outfits later reappeared in ''[[EP088|In the Pink]]'' and ''[[AG047|I Feel Skitty!]]''.
* This episode marks the first time a variation of Team Rocket's {{motto}} is used.
* According to the third book of the "Kids Pocket Books Pocket Monsters" series, the Chansey's Trainer in this episode is homosexual.
* There is a parallel between this episode and the {{pkmn|Super Contest}}s in [[Sinnoh]], as Team Rocket's Ekans and Koffing dress up, analogous to the Visual portion of the Super Contests, and perform, analogous to the Dance portion, before attacking, analogous to the Acting portion.
* When {{an|Brock}} obtains {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}}, he captures it by simply taking out a {{i|Poké Ball}} and opening it, thus drawing Vulpix inside without making contact. To date, this is the only Pokémon catch without direct physical contact between the Poké Ball and the Pokémon that has occurred.
* This is the first episode where [[Brock's Geodude]] is seen using a move.
* When it first aired in Japan, this episode was followed by [[Pocket Monsters, Fall Special!]], a 90-minute [[clip show]] summing up from [[EP001]] to [[EP027]].
* The style in which Jessie and James dress {{an|Misty}} in is the popular fashion in Japan, "Shinorer fashion", started by {{wp|Tomoe Shinohara}}.
* At the end of the episode, the idea of a Pokémon in flashy outfits and makeup were looked down upon by the characters. In the future, both the animated series and the {{pkmn|games}} would go on to feature concepts of Pokémon wearing clothes, such as {{pkmn|Super Contest}}s and [[Cosplay Pikachu]].
* A line from the customer's Chansey in the Japanese version, specifically when it admires itself in the mirror, can be heard in the Japanese versions of ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. In ''Super Smash Bros.'', it can be heard when Chansey appears in [[Saffron City (stage)|Saffron City]] and when it is summoned via the [[Poké Ball (item)#Super Smash Bros. series|Poké Ball]]. In ''Melee'', it can be heard after Chansey's Poké Ball summoning.

===Errors===
* The blurb mistakenly refers to [[Scissor Street]] as ''Caesar Street'' and [[Suzie]] as ''Coron''.
* When Jessie asks {{an|Misty}} if she likes her new look, James's mouth moves, but no sound can be heard.
* When Misty looks at herself in the mirror, her reflection is not reversed.
* When Misty yells for {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} and lifts her head, her neck overlaps James's arm.
* When Brock introduces Vulpix, it has seven tails.
* During Suzie's lecture, the {{p|Rattata}} has a completely purple face.
* When Suzie says that the Pokémon's inner beauty matters, [[Ash's hat]] turns completely red.
* When {{TP|Brock|Geodude}} uses {{m|Seismic Toss}} on {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}}, causing Ekans to roll towards {{AP|Pikachu}}, Pikachu's back stripes are missing.
* When {{m|Thunder Shock}} fails to work on {{TP|James|Koffing}} and {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}}, Ekans's rattle is the same color as its body.
** In the same scene, the stripe on its underbelly is missing. This also happens when it and Koffing trip over their outfits.
* When Koffing and Ekans trip over their outfits, Koffing's lower body briefly disappears.
* When Vulpix is seen from behind before battling Team Rocket, its hind left leg overlaps its tail and attaches to its hind right leg.
* When Ekans and Koffing spin to deflect Pikachu's Thunderbolt, Ekans's Japanese voice is heard.
* When Vulpix uses {{m|Fire Spin}}, one of its tails disappears for a split-second.
* When {{TRT}} blasts off, all of Ekans's bands are colored yellow instead of only the one on its "neck".
* Near the very end, when Ash is laughing at Misty's face, her shirt is red instead of yellow.

===Dub edits===
* [[Kanto Pokérap]]: Day 3
* A total of twenty-two scenes were digitally edited in the dub to remove Japanese characters.
* Jessie and James's code names were removed from the dub.
* Misty does not ask for permission to touch Vulpix in the dub.
* The details of two of Suzie's accomplishments differ between the Japanese original and the English dub. In the original, it is mentioned that she was nominated as Trainer of the Year, and that she ranked number one in Pokémon breeding for four years in a row. The English dub calls her the most popular Pokémon Breeder for four years straight, and states that she has a hugely popular website with upwards of 10,000 hits per day.
* One of Misty's responses to Ash regarding her Psyduck differs between the Japanese original and the English dub. In the original, Misty says that she is the cute one. In the English dub she questions what Ash knows about fashion.

'''Eevee''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イーブイ''' ''Eievui'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into one of [[Eeveelution|eight different Pokémon]] through various methods.
* Since [[Generation I]]:
** Eevee evolves into {{p|Vaporeon}} when exposed to a [[Water Stone]].
** Eevee evolves into {{p|Jolteon}} when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]].
** Eevee evolves into {{p|Flareon}} when exposed to a [[Fire Stone]].
* Since [[Generation II]]:
** Eevee evolves into {{p|Espeon}} when [[friendship Evolution|leveled up with high friendship]] during the [[Time-based Evolution|day]] or with a [[Sun Shard]] in the [[Player character|player's]] [[Bag]].
** Eevee evolves into {{p|Umbreon}} when leveled up with high friendship during the [[Time-based Evolution|night]] or with a [[Moon Shard]] in the player's Bag.
* Since [[Generation IV]]:
** Eevee evolves into {{p|Leafeon}} when leveled up near a [[Moss Rock]] or when exposed to a [[Leaf Stone]].
** Eevee evolves into {{p|Glaceon}} when leveled up near an [[Ice Rock]] or when exposed to an [[Ice Stone]].
* Since [[Generation VI]]:
** Eevee evolves into {{p|Sylveon}} when leveled up while knowing a {{type|Fairy}} [[move]] and having high friendship or at least two hearts of [[affection]].
(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]] for these details.)

Additionally, Eevee has two [[#Form data|forms]]: the '''{{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|partner}} Eevee''' and '''Gigantamax Eevee'''. It can [[Gigantamax]] into Gigantamax Eevee if it has the {{DL|Gigantamax|Gigantamax Factor}}. The partner Eevee and Eevee with the Gigantamax Factor cannot evolve.

Eevee is the [[game mascot]] of and the [[List of the player's first Pokémon|player's first Pokémon]] in {{LGPE|Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!}}. It also serves as the player's first Pokémon in {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}} and {{g|Conquest}}. It also is the first Pokémon employee in {{g|Café Mix}}. In {{game|Yellow}}, [[Professor Oak]] had originally intended to give Eevee to the player as their first Pokémon, but it is taken by {{ga|Blue}} instead.

==Biology==
Eevee is a small, {{wp|mammal}}ian, quadrupedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with primarily brown fur. The tip of its bushy tail and its large furry collar are cream-colored. It has short, slender legs with three small toes and a pink paw pad on each foot. Eevee has brown eyes, long pointed ears with dark brown interiors, and a small black nose.

Eevee has an unstable and irregularly shaped genetic structure that causes it to mutate when exposed to the radiation of [[Evolution stone]]s. Its DNA is easily influenced by its environment, which allows it to suddenly and perfectly adapt to harsh habitats by [[Evolution|evolving]] into one of [[Eeveelution|eight different Pokémon]]. The reason why only Eevee has such unusual genes, which are the key to solving the mysteries of Evolution, remains unknown. Even its face can end up becoming similar to that of its {{pkmn|Trainer}}. Eevee is an extremely rare Pokémon mostly found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|cities and towns}}. In {{g|Sleep}}, it is suggested that it dreams about which form it will evolve into in the future.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>

Eevee is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Extreme Evoboost}}.

===Forms===
Eevee has two forms: the {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|partner}} Eevee and [[Gigantamax]] Eevee.

====Partner Eevee====
The partner Eevee has purple eyes and a lighter shade of fur. These design elements were likely taken from ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', which implemented similar traits starting in {{aniseries|AG}}. It has higher [[base stat]]s than a normal Eevee and can use [[move]]s its regular counterpart cannot. The white tip on a [[Variant Pokémon#Eevee|female partner Eevee]]'s tail has larger, rounder scallops than other Eevee, taking the shape of a heart. Before {{g|Sword and Shield}}, this trait was unique and wasn't found on other female Eevee. However, it has since been implemented into regular Eevee as a [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender difference]]. As a result, {{g|GO}} was updated to apply this change to all female Eevee as well.

The partner Eevee is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the [[move]]s {{m|Bouncy Bubble}}, {{m|Buzzy Buzz}}, {{m|Sizzly Slide}}, {{m|Glitzy Glow}}, {{m|Baddy Bad}}, {{m|Sappy Seed}}, {{m|Freezy Frost}}, and {{m|Sparkly Swirl}}, as well as the partner power {{m|Veevee Volley}}.

====Gigantamax Eevee====
As [[Gigantamax]] Eevee, it has become larger. Its fur collar becomes longer with several triangular furs pointing straight up, and its right ear has three red clouds circling it. Due to its fur becoming fluffier and more luxurious, any enemies caught in it will become enamored and lose the will to fight. Eevee becomes even friendlier and more playful and rambunctious after Gigantamaxing, desiring to play with its opponent and often unintentionally crushing them with its size.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/gigantamax-eevee/ Gigantamax Eevee | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>

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

===Form data===
Eevee has two forms: the {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|partner}} Eevee and [[Gigantamax]] Eevee. Only Gigantamax Eevee is recognized by an in-game [[Pokédex]] (in {{g|Sword and Shield}} and {{g|HOME}}). Partner Eevee has only been named in promotional materials.<ref>[https://pokemonletsgo.pokemon.com/en-us/story/ Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! | Experience the World of Pokémon]</ref>

====Partner Eevee====
The {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|partner}} Eevee is the Pokémon the player starts with in {{LGPE|Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!}}. [[Gender|Female]] partner Eevee also have a [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|distinct pattern]] on their tail (although this was applied to all female Eevee in subsequent [[generation]]s); male Partner Eevee and standard Eevee of either gender have the same pattern. It has higher base stats than normal Eevee. Unlike other Eevee, the partner Eevee can learn the exclusive moves {{m|Bouncy Bubble}}, {{m|Buzzy Buzz}}, {{m|Sizzly Slide}}, {{m|Glitzy Glow}}, {{m|Baddy Bad}}, {{m|Sappy Seed}}, {{m|Freezy Frost}}, and {{m|Sparkly Swirl}}, as well as having access to the [[partner power]] {{m|Veevee Volley}}.

The partner Eevee is not differentiated from standard Eevee in {{LGPE}}'s Pokédex, and it cannot be transferred out of the games.

===Evolution data===
Eevee can evolve into eight different Pokémon (collectively called [[Eeveelution]]s).

Eevee can always evolve into {{p|Vaporeon}}, {{p|Jolteon}}, or {{p|Flareon}} when exposed to a [[Water Stone]], [[Thunder Stone]], or [[Fire Stone]], respectively.

Since [[Generation II]], Eevee can evolve into {{p|Espeon}} or {{p|Umbreon}} when [[friendship Evolution|leveled up with high friendship]] (220 before [[Generation VIII]] or 160 since) during the [[time|day]]/night, respectively. In a few games without a [[time|clock]], it cannot evolve into Espeon or Umbreon; in {{Pokémon XD}} only, Eevee will evolve if the player has the [[Sun Shard]]/[[Moon Shard]] in their [[Bag]].

Since [[Generation IV]], Eevee can evolve into {{p|Leafeon}} or {{p|Glaceon}} when it levels up near a [[Moss Rock]] or [[Ice Rock]], respectively. Not all games have Moss and Ice Rocks, so since [[Generation VIII]], Eevee can also evolve into Leafeon or Glaceon when exposed to a [[Leaf Stone]] or [[Ice Stone]].

Since [[Generation VI]], Eevee can evolve into {{p|Sylveon}} if it knows a {{type|Fairy}} [[move]] and has high [[affection]] (at least two levels) when it levels up. Since affection was folded into [[friendship]] in [[Generation VIII]], it can evolve if its friendship is at least 160 instead.

If multiple [[Methods of Evolution|evolutionary conditions]] are met simultaneously, {{p|Leafeon}} and {{p|Glaceon}} are prioritized over {{p|Sylveon}}, and Sylveon is prioritized over {{p|Espeon}} and {{p|Umbreon}}.

The {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|partner Eevee}} and Eevee with the {{DL|Gigantamax|Gigantamax Factor}} cannot evolve. Since {{LGPE}} only include the first 151 Pokémon, Eevee can only evolve into Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon in those games. Similarly, {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} does not feature Sylveon.

===Main series===
====Major appearances====
=====[[May's Eevee]]=====
In ''[[AG150|May's Egg-Cellent Adventure]]'', {{an|May}} received an {{pkmn|Egg}} from a [[Day-Care Couple]]. That Egg hatched into an Eevee in ''[[AG157|Time Warp Heals All Wounds]]''. Eevee eventually evolved into a {{p|Glaceon}} before May met back up with {{ashfr|the group}} in ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]''.

=====[[Serena's Eevee]]=====
{{an|Serena}} {{pkmn2|caught}} an Eevee in ''[[XY089|A Frolicking Find in the Flowers!]]''. She later evolved into a {{p|Sylveon}} in ''[[XY105|Party Dancecapades!]]''.

=====[[Sandy]]=====
A male {{pkmn2|wild}} Eevee first appeared in a series of shorts titled [[Where Are You Going, Eevee?]]. The {{DL|Where Are You Going, Eevee?|Episode 1|first episode}} debuted after ''[[SM093|Lillier and the Staff!]]''. He made his animated series debut in ''[[SM099|We Know Where You're Going, Eevee!]]'', where he was caught by {{an|Lana}} and given the [[nickname]] Sandy.

=====[[Gary's Eevee]]=====
In ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]'', [[Gary Oak]] has an Eevee, which defeated [[Ash's Pikachu]] in {{pkmn|battle}}. It evolved into an {{p|Umbreon}} sometime before ''[[EP171|Power Play!]]''.

[[Sakura]] owned an Eevee in ''[[EP183|Trouble's Brewing]]''. By the time {{Ash}} and his friends met up with Sakura again in ''[[EP226|Espeon, Not Included]]'', her Eevee had evolved into an {{p|Espeon}}.

=====[[Gladion's Eevee]]=====
{{an|Gladion}}'s Eevee appeared in a flashback in ''[[SM027|A Glaring Rivalry!]]''. In the present day, it has evolved into an Umbreon.

=====[[Chloe's Eevee]]=====
[[Chloe]] owns a female Eevee, which she caught in ''[[JN049|To Train, or Not to Train!]]''.

For unknown reasons, she is incapable of evolving, despite the experiments done to her by [[Pinery]] and her assistants at the [[Eevee Evolution Lab]].

=====Other=====

Eevee debuted in ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]'', under the ownership of [[Mikey]], who was hiding it from [[Eevee brothers|his three older brothers]] because they wanted him to evolve it just like they did to their own Eevee.

Sadly, this attack isn't incredibly powerful. ''

'''PAL''': ''This adorable Normal-type Pokémon's ability to evolve in so many different ways makes it a popular choice with {{pkmn|Trainer|trainers}}. When brought out in {{pkmn|battle}}, Eevee uses Take Down on the first opponent it sees, but...[[Type effectiveness|it's not very effective]]. Never mind. Eevee may not be the toughest Pokémon, but it'll always be one of the cutest. ''

==Trivia==
* Eevee was designed by [[Motofumi Fujiwara]].<ref name=EVs/><ref>[https://twitter.com/atsuko_nishida/status/783643367523557376 Tweet by AtsukoNishida (@atsuko_nishida).] Posted on October 5, 2016.</ref>
* Eevee's English name is a {{wp|palindrome}}.
**Its English name also contains only two unique characters, less than any other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s English name.
** It is one of five Pokémon whose English name is palindromic, with the other four being {{p|Girafarig}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Alomomola}}, and {{p|Farigiraf}}.
** In early English promotional material for {{pkmn|Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue}}, Eevee was called "Eon", the suffix of all of its evolved forms.
* Eevee is:
** the Pokémon with the most [[List of Pokémon with branched Evolutions|branched Evolutions]] (and evolved forms in general), with eight, and the only one with more than four.
** the only Pokémon with branched Evolutions in [[Generation I]].
** the only evolving Pokémon that cannot evolve into a Pokémon that it shares at least one [[type]] with (though {{p|Azurill}} also had this trait prior to it and {{p|Marill}} gaining the {{type|Fairy}} in [[Generation VI]]).
** the only non-{{t|Grass}} or {{type|Water}} Pokémon which can evolve via a [[Leaf Stone]] or [[Water Stone]].
** the only pre-existing Pokémon to [[List of cross-generational evolutionary lines|receive an Evolution]] in [[Generation VI]], though many received [[Mega Evolution]]s.
** the only pre-existing Pokémon to [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|receive a gender difference]] after [[Generation IV]].
* Eevee and its Evolutions are the subject of [[Eevee Day]], an officially recognized observance celebrated annually on November 21 (11/21), which is {{wp|goroawase}} for "i-i-bu-i", Eevee's Japanese name. It was certified by the Japan Anniversary Association in 2018.<ref name="EeveeDay">(November 21, 2018). "[https://prtimes.jp/main/html/rd/p/000000049.000026665.html 正式認定！11月21日は「イーブイの日」!!]" 株式会社ポケモン ([[The Pokémon Company]]) on PR Times.</ref>
* The fan-made term to describe Eevee's Evolutions, "[[Eeveelution]]", was made official after its use in the strategy guide for {{g|Stadium 2}}, followed by {{TCG|Eeveelution|a TCG Theme Deck}}.
* Only the Generation I evolved forms of Eevee maintain its distinctive ruff in their designs. The later [[generations]]' evolved forms dropped this motif entirely.
* Four of Eevee's evolved forms evolve through abnormal means in the {{g|Mystery Dungeon series}} ({{p|Espeon}}, {{p|Umbreon}}, {{p|Leafeon}}, and {{p|Glaceon}}).
** In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, Eevee evolves using the {{DL|Mystery Dungeon evolutionary items|Sun Ribbon}} or {{DL|Mystery Dungeon evolutionary items|Lunar Ribbon}} with at least 1 star of [[IQ]], a {{DL|Mystery Dungeon evolutionary items|Mossy Rock}}, or a {{DL|Mystery Dungeon evolutionary items|Frozen Rock}} into its respective evolved forms.
** In {{vg|Pokémon Ranger}}, all of Eevee's evolved forms up to [[Generation III]] can be [[Caught Pokémon|caught]]; however, Eevee itself is completely unobtainable. This was changed in {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}.
* Despite Eevee being obtainable before the {{un|Pokémon League}} and Leafeon and Glaceon being included in the [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|Unova regional Pokédex]] in {{B2W2}}, it cannot evolve into them until after entering the [[Hall of Fame]]. This is because [[Twist Mountain]] and [[Pinwheel Forest]] are inaccessible before then.
* All of Eevee's Evolutions up to {{p|Sylveon}} were of types that had been considered [[special moves|special]] before [[Generation IV]]. The only special move type not included is the {{t|Dragon}} type.
* Eevee and {{p|Pikachu}} are the only non-fully evolved Pokémon with exclusive [[Z-Move]]s.
* Despite the fact that {{an|May}}, {{Gary}}, and [[Sakura]] each owned an Eevee that went on to evolve, Eevee was never seen evolving onscreen in {{aniseries|PTS}} until ''[[DP174|Last Call — First Round!]]'', when [[Ursula]] evolved her two Eevee into {{p|Flareon}} and {{p|Vaporeon}} during a Contest appeal, over thirteen years into the series.
* As a species, Eevee has appeared in the [[Party|teams]] of the most main characters in ''Pokémon the Series'', with {{an|May}}, {{an|Serena}}, and {{an|Lana}} each owning one.
** This also makes Eevee the only Pokémon in the series to have been owned by more than two different main characters.
* Eevee has more [[signature moves]] than any other Pokémon, with a total of eleven.
* Between {{LGPE}} and {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, Eevee used its {{pkmn|animated series}} [[cry]] alongside {{p|Pikachu}}. From {{g|Legends: Arceus}} onward, Eevee's cry switched back to its traditional game cry.

===Origin===
In the 2018 artbook ''EVs'', [[Motofumi Fujiwara]] revealed that the idea for Eevee came from [[Satoshi Tajiri]]'s request to have a Pokémon that evolves into multiple types. Fujiwara himself designed Eevee as a "blank slate" for its varied Evolutions; as such, while Eevee has traits of foxes, dogs, and cats, it is not based on any specific animal. Fujiwara also envisioned Eevee as a creature that could exist "in people's memories"; namely, vague memories of seeing a cat or dog-like creature that players might have experienced in their childhood.<ref name=EVs>(2018) ''EVs''.

'''Misty's Staryu''' (Japanese: '''カスミのヒトデマン''' ''Kasumi's Hitodeman'') was one of the three original {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} acquired by {{an|Misty}} in the [[Kanto]] [[region]] prior to the start of the {{pkmn|animated series}}, and the second one seen in her possession. Staryu also appeared in most of the {{pkmn|games}} Misty appears in.

==In animation==
===History===
===={{aniseries|OS}}====
=====Kanto=====
[[File:Ash vs Misty EP007.png|left|thumb|220px|Staryu in the Cerulean Gym battle]]
Staryu first appeared in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]'', where it was sent out by Misty to defeat {{TRT}}'s {{MTR}} at [[Mt. Moon]]. It first attacked Meowth with a {{m|Swift}}, followed by a {{m|Water Gun}} that sent him blasting off.

Misty used Staryu in her Gym battle against {{Ash}} in [[EP007|the next episode]]. When Ash did not recognize Staryu, he used his [[Pokédex]] on it; he later commented "Leave it to a girl to show off her jewelry!". Staryu demonstrated an Ability similar to {{a|Natural Cure}}, despite Abilities not having been introduced at the time, by diving into the water to negate {{TP|Ash|Butterfree}}'s {{m|Stun Spore}} and {{m|Sleep Powder}}. It also seemed to be rather clumsy, as it missed Butterfree and nearly slipped, almost falling into the water. Despite this, Staryu was able to beat Butterfree by Tackling it into the water.

Staryu was also used for its strong swimming abilities, helping {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} escape the sunken [[S.S. Anne|St. Anne]] in ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]'', and also later helped the team escape [[James's Gyarados]]. It reappeared in ''[[EP019|Tentacool & Tentacruel]]'', where it helped {{TP|Misty|Goldeen}} and {{TP|Misty|Starmie}} rescue sailors and repel attacks from invading {{p|Tentacool}}. Staryu later helped put out a fire at the [[Celadon Gym]] in ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]'' and battled Team Rocket at the [[Pokémon Fan Club|Pokémon Lover's Club]] in ''[[EP027|Hypno's Naptime]]''. It also tried to help the group get to the [[North Pole]], along with Goldeen, Starmie, and {{AP|Squirtle}} in ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'', however it, along with its fellow swimmers, tired out before they made it.

Misty intended to use Staryu during the [[Queen of the Princess Festival]] contest in ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'', but, as is often the case with Misty calling out Staryu, {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} came out instead. A similar situation happened in ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quack-tion]]'', where Misty wanted to have Staryu audition for a movie. However, Staryu did get a role in helping provide the rain effects for the final scene.

In ''[[EP059|Volcanic Panic]]'', it was sent out to cool off {{TP|Brock|Onix}}, {{TP|Brock|Geodude}}, and {{AP|Pikachu}} with water as they dammed the erupting [[Cinnabar Island]] volcano.

=====Orange Islands=====
[[File:Misty Staryu EP103.png|thumb|220px|Misty swimming with Staryu]]
Staryu would again be called to help tow a raft to escape a [[Fukuhara Island No. 4|crumbling island]] made up of {{p|Kabuto}} that were then reviving in ''[[EP089|Shell Shock!]]''. It also danced on stage in ''[[EP090|Stage Fight!]]'' to help a traveling riverboat show that dubbed acting Pokémon with human voices backstage.

Staryu's strength was called upon in ''[[EP091|Bye Bye Psyduck]]'', battling {{OBP|Marina|EP091}}'s {{p|Tentacruel}}. Upon entering battle, Marina commented that it was an excellent looking Staryu, and Misty responded that Staryu was one of her favorite Pokémon and that she polished it daily. The pampering appeared to pay off, as it was able to take down Tentacruel with one Swift attack. It was, however, defeated by Marina's powerful {{p|Psyduck}}.

In ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]'', Staryu utilized its excellent swimming skills to rescue [[Mahri]] and her {{p|Seel}} from the whirlpools of [[Trovitopolis]].

Staryu teamed up with {{Tracey}}'s {{TP|Tracey|Marill}} and [[Captain Aidan]]'s Team {{p|Squirtle}} in ''[[EP106|The Pokémon Water War]]'' to fight a fire. They managed to help out long enough for [[Team Wartortle]] to come and take care of the rest.

In ''[[EP110|The Stun Spore Detour]]'', [[Misty's Politoed|a wild Poliwag]] sought protection from James and Meowth by hiding behind Misty. Staryu defeated [[James's Weezing]] by using Tackle, followed by Double-Edge, which not only cut through Weezing's {{m|Smog}}, but also sent Weezing flying.

In ''[[EP113|Viva Las Lapras]]'', Staryuwas called out, along with Goldeen, {{TP|Misty|Poliwag}}, and Squirtle, to help defeat the pirate poachers attempting to capture {{AP|Lapras}}'s mother and family. It joined the other Pokémon in destroying the pirates' cannons with its Water Gun.

===={{aniseries|GS}}====
[[File:Misty and Staryu.png|thumb|220px|left|Staryu and Misty]]
Although Misty used Staryu quite often in Kanto and during the [[Orange Islands]] saga, after she {{pkmn2|caught}} her Poliwag, she started to use it less often. By the end of the Johto saga, Misty hardly ever used Staryu, preferring to use her {{TP|Misty|Corsola}} and Politoed.

In ''[[EP147|The Fire-ing Squad!]]'', Staryu was entered into the [[Fire and Rescue Grand Prix]] with Ash, alongside [[Ash's Pikachu]], his Squirtle, and Psyduck. The group competed against a team of {{p|Muk}} to see who could put out a fire the fastest. Staryu and Squirtle used duel Water Guns while Pikachu kicked dirt at it. Things went well until Psyduck got in the way and ended up getting thrown into the fire. Squirtle rescued it, but the loss in time cost them the match.

Staryu was later used to fight Ash to win a {{AP|Totodile}} in ''[[EP151|The Totodile Duel]]''. It battled his {{AP|Chikorita}}, showing high determination, digging in its heels against a Tackle and dodging through {{m|Razor Leaf}} and {{m|Vine Whip}}. It was also able to strike a powerful Water Gun that jetted Chikorita several feet up and across the battlefield. It was, however, beaten to the ground by a powerful Vine Whip. Misty later apologized to Staryu, saying she hoped she had not pushed it too hard and only did so because she had an immense amount of faith in the Pokémon.

In ''[[EP157|The Fortune Hunters]]'', Staryu was sent out alongside Totodile to stop [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]]'s fake {{pkmn|Day Care}} scheme. Staryu landed a hit on Butch's {{p|Primeape}} before being taken down by {{m|Dynamic Punch}}.

In ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'', Staryu was called up against [[Molly Hale]]. Being underwater, Staryu showed to be even more capable than on land. It went up against {{p|Mantine}} and scored a couple of Tackles before looping around for another run. Before it was able to hit, Staryu was hit by Mantine's {{m|Whirlpool}}, although the attack, even combined with a direct hit from Bubble Beam, was not able to even affect it slightly. It then easily dissipated the Whirlpool with Rapid Spin and went on the offensive with several high speed Tackles, chasing Mantine through the water in dogged pursuit. The rest of the battle was not shown.

In ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', Staryu was sent out alongside Misty and Brock's Pokémon to stop {{an|Giovanni}} and the rest of [[Team Rocket]] from recapturing {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}. Their distraction gave Ash the time he needed to take Mewtwo to the top of [[Mount Quena]] so it could be healed.

Staryu acted as a firefighter again in ''[[EP253|Great Bowls of Fire!]]'', where it attempted to rescue the Pokémon trapped by a raging fire in the [[Dragon Holy Land]].

====[[Pokémon Chronicles]]====
In ''[[HS02|Cerulean Blues]]'', Staryu was used to defend the [[Cerulean Gym]] from a challenge by the [[Invincible Pokémon Brothers]]. Staryu battled very well, until Kim's {{p|Hitmonchan}} launched a sneak attack on it, knocking it out. Despite not being able to battle, Staryu won by default due to the Pokémon Brother's cheating by using the illegal sneak attack. Kim tried to justify himself, but [[Nurse Joy]]'s ruling stood.

In ''[[HS16|Luvdisc is a Many Splendored Thing!]]'', Staryu performed as a part of {{an|Daisy}}'s water ballet.

===={{aniseries|RS}}====
In ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'', Misty used Staryu to battle [[Dr. Yung]]'s {{pkmn2|Mirage}} {{p|Aggron}}. Staryu began with a direct hit with Bubble Beam, which failed to faze Aggron. It was then struck with a strong {{m|Sandstorm}} attack. Misty then ordered Staryu to use Water Gun, but this was countered with {{m|Thunder Wave}}, and the Star Shape Pokémon was finished off with a volley of {{m|Bullet Seed}}s.

===={{aniseries|SM}}====
[[File:Misty Staryu tired.png|thumb|220px|Staryu's flashing gem when tired]]
In ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'', Misty sent Staryu out to destroy [[Team Rocket's mechas|Team Rocket's mecha]] with Bubble Beam.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
In ''[[JN145|Rocket Revengers!]]'', Misty sent out Staryu to use Water Gun to stop a {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} from [[James's Yamask]]. It then joined Misty and Psyduck in battling him and [[Jessie's Frillish]].

===Personality and characteristics===
While Staryu does not seem to have much of a personality due to its extremely un-anthropomorphic features, its core and stance are often indicators of its emotions. Most of its personality is seen in battle, where it is shown to be confident and powerful, often being Misty's top choice. The two have a strong relationship, with Misty having mentioned she polishes Staryu daily.

On land, Staryu's wide array of attacks make it a tough opponent, while its speed is maximized in the water, where it often used by Misty for its strong swimming abilities. Its excellent swimming capabilities were showcased in ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]'', where it was able to navigate the whirlpools of [[Trovitopolis]] while carrying Misty, [[Mahri]], and her {{p|Seel}}. This is in contrast to Seel and [[Team Rocket's mechas|Team Rocket's submarine]], who were unable to move through the rough waters. It often shimmers when called into {{pkmn|battle}}s, and its core glows pink, accompanied by a siren-like noise, when tired or weakened.

'''Ash's Pidgeot''' (Japanese: '''サトシのピジョット''' ''Satoshi's Pigeot'') was the second {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Kanto]] [[region]], and his third overall.

==In animation==
===History===
===={{aniseries|OS}}====
[[File:Ash catching Pidgeotto.png|thumb|left|220px|Pidgeotto being caught]]
Ash caught Pidgeot as a Pidgeotto in [[Viridian Forest]] in ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]''. Having [[EP001|previously]] failed to capture its pre-Evolution {{p|Pidgey}} and a {{p|Spearow}}, Ash was prepared to fight the Pidgeotto before attempting a capture. However, his {{AP|Caterpie}} was easily overwhelmed by the {{type|Flying}} Pokémon. After recalling Caterpie, Ash sent out his {{AP|Pikachu}}. Pikachu used {{m|Thunder Shock}} to weaken Pidgeotto, allowing Ash to capture it. Later, Ash used Pidgeotto in its first battle against {{TRT}}, but it was ultimately defeated.

In ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]'', Pidgeotto was used to weaken a wild {{p|Weedle}} for Ash to capture, but the Weedle escaped when [[Samurai]] arrived and challenged Ash to a battle. Weakened by the battle with Weedle, Pidgeotto battled Samurai's {{p|Pinsir}}. Pidgeotto started off with {{m|Sand Attack}}, but Pinsir simply ran through the dust and defeated it with a single {{m|Tackle}}.
[[File:Brock Geodude Ash Pidgeotto.png|thumb|220px|Pidgeotto fighting Geodude]]
In ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', it battled {{TP|Brock|Geodude}} in Ash's [[rematch]] with {{an|Brock}}. Its {{m|Gust}} proved ineffective on the {{2t|Rock|Ground}} type Pokémon, and it was quickly knocked out.

In ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', Pidgeotto was used in Ash's [[Cerulean Gym]] match against {{an|Misty}}, where it fought {{TP|Misty|Starmie}}. Pidgeotto started off with {{m|Whirlwind}}, but {{p|Starmie}} jumped into the water and hit Pidgeotto with Tackle. Starmie went for another Tackle but got knocked into the water by Pidgeotto's {{m|Wing Attack}}. Starmie, however, quickly recovered and struck it with Tackle again. As Starmie returned to attack again, Pidgeotto used Gust to propel it with great force into the Gym's wall. The battle was interrupted by Team Rocket, who tried to steal the Gym's Pokémon.

Pidgeotto was used in a battle to repel {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s aboard the [[S.S. Anne|St. Anne]] in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'', where it joined a group of other Pidgeotto to use Gust on the Grunts. In [[EP016|the following episode]], Ash sent Pidgeotto to scout for land after the ship had capsized; instead, it discovered Team Rocket adrift in the water and rescued them before they could drown.

In ''[[EP019|Tentacool & Tentacruel]]'', Pidgeotto bore Pikachu into battle against a [[Giant Pokémon|giant]] {{p|Tentacruel}}, and was the only one of itself, Butterfree, and {{TP|Brock|Zubat}} to avoid Tentacruel's attacks, allowing Pikachu to attempt to negotiate a truce with the Tentacruel. In ''[[EP027|Hypno's Naptime]]'', Pidgeotto used Gust to blow Team Rocket off the roof of the [[Pokémon Fan Club|Pokémon Lover's Club]] building in [[HopHopHop Town]].
[[File:Ash Pidgeotto towing balloon.png|thumb|220px|left|Pidgeotto towing Ash to the Indigo Plateau]]
In ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]'', Pidgeotto was used in Ash's [[Fuchsia Gym]] battle against [[Koga]], where it faced his {{p|Venonat}}, which promptly [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Venomoth}}. Pidgeotto tried blowing Venomoth's {{m|Stun Spore}} away with Whirlwind but failed to do so, crippling it. Pidgeotto was put to sleep by {{m|Sleep Powder}}, forcing Ash to substitute it for {{AP|Charmander}}.

In ''[[EP063|The Battle Of The Badge]]'', Pidgeotto played a very important part in Ash's [[Viridian Gym]] battle. [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] and {{AP|Squirtle}} were being brutalized by {{an|Giovanni}}'s {{p|Kingler}} and {{p|Machamp}}, commanded by [[Jessie]], but Pidgeotto turned the tables by using a {{m|Quick Attack}} and {{m|Double-Edge}} combination to inflict serious damage on her {{p|Rhydon}}.
[[File:Ash Pidgeot released.png|thumb|220px|Pidgeot leaving]]
In ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]'', Pidgeotto was sent out to battle an ancient {{pkmn2|giant}} {{p|Gengar}}. However, its Gust did not affect Gengar, and the monster absorbed it. It was saved after the giant {{p|Jigglypuff}} put the huge creature to sleep.

In ''[[EP079|Friend and Foe Alike]]'', Pidgeotto towed [[Team Rocket's mechas|Team Rocket's balloon]] to the stadium at the [[Indigo Plateau]] to allow Ash to reach his battle with [[Ritchie]] in time. However, this left it too exhausted to battle, leaving Ash with only his disobedient Charizard to fight with once Squirtle and Pikachu were defeated.

In ''[[EP081|Pallet Party Panic]]'', following the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]], Ash made a brief stop at [[Pallet Town]] before setting off for the [[Orange Islands]]. Traversing through Viridian Forest along the way, he encountered the {{p|Spearow}} he had tried to catch [[EP001|the first day of his journey]], who had since evolved into {{DL|Ash's Fearow|In animation|Fearow}} and was leading other wild Spearow in harassing the local Pidgey flock. Pidgeotto tried to lead the wild Pidgey to safety but was badly injured. Desperate to help its fellow birds, Pidgeotto evolved into Pidgeot and attacked Fearow with Gust and Quick Attack. It led the other Pidgey and Pidgeotto to defeat Fearow. After their victory, Ash released Pidgeot to guard the wild Pidgey so that Fearow would not return for a revenge attack, promising to return to it once he was done with his errand at the Orange Islands.

===={{aniseries|GS}}====
Pidgeot appeared in a flashback in ''[[EP131|Fighting Flyer with Fire]]'', where the sight of [[Falkner]]'s Pidgeot reminded Ash of his old friend. It appeared in another flashback as a Pidgeotto in ''[[EP147|The Fire-ing Squad!]]'', when Ash reminisced about his time with Squirtle.
{{-}}
[[File:Ash Kanto Pokémon JN132.png|thumb|250px|Pidgeot encouraging Pikachu in a vision]]
===={{aniseries|BW}}====
Pidgeot appeared in a flashback as a Pidgeotto in ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]'', when Ash recalled [[Snow Way Out!|the night]] he was stuck in a snowstorm and his entire [[Party|team]], including Pidgeotto, helped keep Ash warm.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Pidgeot appeared as a vision to Pikachu during his battle against [[Leon's Charizard]].

In ''[[JN135|Heroes Unite!]]'', Pidgeot appeared in a fantasy while Ash reminisced about the Pokémon he'd caught on his journey.

In ''[[JN147|The Rainbow and the Pokémon Master!]]'', Pidgeot reunited with Ash when it saved Pikachu from being captured by Team Rocket. Seeing that the members of its flock had grown up, Ash invited Pidgeot to rejoin his team, which it accepted.
{{left clear}}

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Ash and Pidgeot.png|thumb|250px|left|Pidgeot and Ash]]
[[File:Ash Pidgeot flock.png|thumb|250px|Pidgeot with its flock]]
Pidgeot did not undergo as much character development as his other five original team members, as it had far fewer episodes focused on it. However, it was loyal and had an extremely strong relationship with Ash, the only one of his original six Pokémon he had never been on bad terms with before or after capture. It always followed his orders to the letter, even when this ran the risk of self-injury, such as when taking on {{DL|Ash's Fearow|In animation|Fearow}}, [[Jessie's Arbok]], and the ancient {{pkmn2|giant}} {{p|Gengar}}.

Early in Ash's journey, Pidgeotto was one of his primary battlers, but it was gradually weeded out as an everyday battler after Ash added more Pokémon to his team. It was typically used to blow away {{m|Smokescreen}}s, pop holes in [[Team Rocket's mechas|Team Rocket's balloon]], or conduct aerial searches.

It was shown to have a protective nature to it in ''[[EP081|Pallet Party Panic]]'' when it risked itself and later evolved to protect a flock of {{p|Pidgey}} and {{p|Pidgeotto}} from a flock of Spearow lead by a Fearow. It decided to keep protecting them, leaving Ash in the process, until they were strong enough to protect themselves.

==In the manga==
[[File:Ash Pidgeotto EToP.png|thumb|200px|Pidgeotto in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
[[Ash Ketchum (EToP)|Ash]] also owns a Pidgeotto in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] {{pkmn|manga}}. It is the fourth Pokémon that Ash captures in the manga. It first debuts in ''[[ET02|Play Misty For Me]]''. In that chapter, it was given the nickname {{wp|Walter Pidgeon|Walter Pidgeotto}} (Japanese: '''ビジョン''' ''Vision'').

Pidgeotto's capture is not shown; it is first seen when Ash is writing home to [[Daisy Oak|May Oak]] describing the Pokémon he has caught on his journey so far. Later, he tries to use it in his Gym battle against {{an|Misty}}, but it has disappeared from its {{i|Poké Ball}}, leaving a note saying "I'm beat! Off to get some R&R. Don't forget to write! -Pidgeotto".

It is unknown if Pidgeotto has permanently left Ash's party following this. It does not appear in the manga since then, including when Ash brings his entire party out of their Poké Balls in ''[[ET08|You Gotta Have Friends]]''. The role of Ash's main Flying Pokémon is instead filled by [[Ash's Fearow]].

==Trivia==
[[File:OPJ10 Pidgeot Larvitar.png|thumb|220px|Pidgeot in Spurt!]]
* Pidgeot is the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} of the {{t|Normal}} and {{t|Flying}} [[type]]s to have been owned by a main character in {{aniseries|PTS}}.
* Pidgeot is the first of {{Ash}}'s Pokémon:
** To have been caught in an [[Evolution|evolved]] form.
** To have used a [[move]] that causes [[recoil]] damage, in this case, {{m|Double-Edge}}.
* Pidgeotto never won a [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} under Ash's ownership; though it took a strong lead against both [[Misty's Starmie]] and {{an|Giovanni}}'s {{p|Rhydon}} (under [[Jessie]]'s command), neither battle was officially called for Ash.
* Pidgeot is the only Pokémon that Ash has had in his active [[Party|team]] at the time of a [[Pokémon League Conference]] that has not been seen participating in a League battle.
* Pidgeot is the only member of Ash's original team of six that was never seen using {{m|Tackle}}.
* Pidgeot is the only one of Ash's released Pokémon to permanently rejoin his team.
* Out of all the Pokémon that were obtained and evolved during {{aniseries|OS}}, Pidgeotto took the longest to evolve, at 78 episodes.
* Pidgeot is Ash's oldest caught Pokémon to currently be under his ownership.
* Out of all of Ash's Pokémon, Pidgeot holds the record for having the most amount of episodes between its capture and being left in {{an|Professor Oak}}'s care, at 1,229 episodes.
* Pidgeotto's Evolution into Pidgeot seems to have been teased, or at least influenced, by [[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master|the first opening]] of the {{pkmn|animated series}}, which displays Ash throwing a Poké Ball containing a Pidgeot to battle a {{p|Fearow}}.
* Pidgeot made a cameo appearance in the tenth Japanese opening theme, [[Spurt!]]. However, it did not return in any episodes aired with the opening.
** It also appeared in the [[Battle Frontier (English song)|corresponding dub opening]] alongside {{AP|Larvitar}}'s mother, thus making it the only one of Ash's Pokémon to have its Spurt! scene carried across to the dub opening.
* In {{game|Yellow}} and the [[Generation II]] games (as well as [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|their remakes]]), it is possible to catch {{pkmn2|underleveled}} Pidgeotto in [[Viridian Forest]], possibly as a [[List of cross-canon references|reference]] to Ash's Pidgeotto.

'''Charmander''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒトカゲ''' ''Hitokage'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Charmeleon}} starting at [[level]] 16, which evolves into {{p|Charizard}} starting at level 36.

Along with {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Squirtle}}, Charmander is one of the three [[Kanto first partner Pokémon|first partner Pokémon of Kanto]] available at the beginning of [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Blue]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]].

==Biology==
[[File:Ash Charmander waiting for Damian.png|thumb|left|250px|Charmander protecting the flame on its tail from the rain]]
Charmander is a bipedal, {{wp|reptile|reptilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a primarily orange body and blue eyes. Its underside from the chest down and the soles of its feet are cream-colored. It has two small fangs visible in its upper jaw and two smaller fangs in its lower jaw. A fire burns at the tip of this Pokémon's slender tail, which has blazed there since Charmander's birth.

The flame can indicate Charmander's health and mood, burning brightly when the Pokémon is strong, weakly when it is exhausted, wavering when it is happy, and blazing when it is enraged. It is said that Charmander would die if its flame were to go out. However, if the Pokémon is healthy, the flame will continue to burn even if it gets a bit wet and is said to steam in the rain. Charmander can be found in hot, {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountainous areas}}. It has been recently seen living in the [[Terarium]] of [[Blueberry Academy]]. However, it is found far more often in the ownership of {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. As seen in [[Pokémon Snap]] and [[New Pokémon Snap]], Charmander exhibits pack behavior, calling others of its species if it finds food and watching the flames on each other's tails to ensure they don't go out. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Charmander is known to sleep while curled up. Supposedly, it draws warmth from the flame on its tail. During quiet nights, the sounds of its flame can be heard by listening carefully while Charmander sleeps.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>

Charmander [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Charmeleon}}, which evolves into {{p|Charizard}}.

===NPC appearances===
====In the core series====
*If the player chose {{p|Bulbasaur}}, the player's [[rival]], {{ga|Blue}}, will pick Charmander in [[Generation I]] and {{g|FireRed and LeafGreen}}. Blue will use this Charmander in his first three battles against the player before it evolves into {{p|Charmeleon}}.
*[[Professor Sycamore]] will use a Charmander in his first battle against the player in {{g|X and Y}}.

====In the spin-off games====
* [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]]: Charmander is one of {{OBP|Pikachu|PokéPark}}'s best friends. After falling through the mysterious tunnel, he almost lands into a pool of molten lava, only to be saved by the [[Lava Zone]] leader, {{p|Blaziken}}, who takes him in as his pupil and trains to become stronger. After he's been found, he journeys to the [[Meeting Place]], where he helps {{p|Piplup}} mend the balloon and makes fireworks. He later accompanies Pikachu to the [[Sky Pavilion]] along with {{p|Piplup}} and {{p|Chikorita}}, where he meets {{p|Mew}}. Once the [[Sky Prism]] has been restored, Charmander celebrates by firing off the fireworks he made.

==In the manga==
[[File:X Salamè Charmander.png|thumb|220px|Charmander in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
====Major appearances====
=====[[Blue's Charmander]]=====
Charmander debuted in ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]''. It first appeared in {{adv|Red}}'s fantasy, then as one of {{adv|Blue}}'s first Pokémon, received from his grandfather {{adv|Professor Oak}}. He has since evolved into {{p|Charmeleon}} before facing off against [[Brock]] of [[Pewter City]], and then to {{p|Charizard}} before the [[Silph Co.]] {{pkmn|battle}}s against [[Team Rocket]].

=====[[Salamè]]=====
After {{adv|X}}'s {{p|Chespin}}, [[Marisso]], lost to him in a battle, X decided to take him and named him Salamè in ''[[PS559|Chespin Sows the Seeds of Change]]''. He later evolved into a Charmeleon alongside Marisso, who evolved into a {{p|Quilladin}} in ''[[PS577|Quilladin Stands]]''.

Green's Charmander has evolved into {{p|Charizard}}. It seems to be able to skip the {{p|Charmeleon}} stage, as it was seen evolving directly into Charizard. Although it has devolved back to the Charmander stage, it currently seems to have permanently evolved back into Charizard.

{{OBP|Blue|Ruby-Sapphire}} also owns a Charmander.

===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
{{main|Ash's Charmander}}
{{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}}'s Charmander makes a few appearances in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]].

The capture of Ash's Charmander diverges considerably from ''[[Pokémon the Series]]''.

Ash is shown to own a Charmander despite this, his own Charmander first appears in ''[[ET08|You Gotta Have Friends]]''. Ash's Charmander's capture is not shown in the manga, instead, when Charmander first appears from its {{i|Poké Ball}}, it is simply stated that "Ash has been busy since the last comic".

Ash's Charmander reappears as a {{p|Charizard}} in the chapter ''[[ET13|The Indigo Finals]]'' at the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]]. In this chapter, Charizard battles [[Zippo|Charley]], [[Ritchie]]'s own Charizard.

===Magical Pokémon Journey===
{{main|Peanut's Charmander}}
{{main|Mandy (MPJ)}}
In [[Magical Pokémon Journey]], the sickly Trainer [[Peanut]] owns an aggressive Charmander. Peanut's Charmander first appears in ''[[PPP11|Charmander's Peanut]]''.

A Charmander first appeared in [[GDZ33]], under the ownership of a researcher.

===Pocket Monsters XY: The Legend of the Pokémon Dragon King===
{{OBP|Akira|LDK}} owns a Charmander, as seen in [[LDK1]]. It evolved into a Charizard in the same chapter.

===Movie adaptations===
A Charmander appeared in a flashback in [[ICYR1]], under the ownership of {{an|Professor Oak}}.

===Pokémon Journeys===
{{main|Leon's Charmander}}
A Charmander appeared in a flashback in ''[[JNM13|Sword and Shield... The Legends Awaken! (Part 1)]]'', under the ownership of [[Leon]]. It is now his Charizard in the present day.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Charmander appears as a trophy.

====Trophy information====
''"A Lizard Pokémon. It just downright likes hot stuff. The always-burning tail indicates its mood--waving gently when content and burning intensely when angry. If the tail were to go out, it would be the end of Charmander's life. Its tail is believed to emit steam when it rains. Charmander evolves into Charmeleon by leveling up."''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Charmander appears as a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}}.

==={{DetPikMov}}===
Multiple Charmander appeared in {{DetPikMov}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:Niue Dollar Pokémon.png|thumb|250px|$1 coins from {{wp|Niue}}]]
* Charmander, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, and their respective evolutionary lines have exactly the same base stats in the same distribution.
* {{wp|Niue}} released a one-dollar coin featuring Charmander as part of a commemorative promotion for the [[Pokémon]] franchise, with Charmander on one side and the nation's coat of arms on the other.

===Concept and development===
Charmander and its evolved forms were designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/19980121112202fw_/http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/POKEMON/INTER/ATSUKO/INTER_AT.HTM Interview with Atsuko Nishida on Game Freak's website] (archived, Japanese)</ref><ref>[https://funs-project.com/poplab/007/index_2.html Fun's Project interview with Atsuko Nishida] (Japanese)</ref>

===Design variations===
In its [[Generation I]] [[#Sprites|sprites]] and original key artwork, Charmander is depicted with a small line of spikes on its back. These spikes are also seen on [[Blue's Charmander]] in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, where the spikes are larger and easier to see, and on [[Green's Charizard|Green's Charmander]] in the [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga.

Additionally, Charmander is depicted with [[Pokémon controversies#Four-fingered hands|an inconsistent number of fingers]] in its designs. The original sprites designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]] for {{game|Red and Green|s}} featured three fingers, while the artwork [[Ken Sugimori]] drew based on those sprites had four fingers. Currently, the {{pkmn|animated series}}, {{pkmn|movie}}s, and [[List of animated series specials|specials]], as well as artwork unrelated to {{pkmn|games}} and {{pkmn|merchandise}}, use the three-finger design; while the key artwork used since {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, as well as the games' 3D models and artwork based on those (such as artwork for {{LGPE}}), feature the four-finger design. The number of fingers used for {{Trading Card Game}} card art often varies between illustrators, and even within a single illustrator's works; compare {{TCG|Boundaries Crossed}} {{TCG ID|Boundaries Crossed|Charmander|18}} and {{TCG|Generations}} {{TCG ID|Generations|Charmander|RC3}}, both illustrated by [[Akira Komayama]].

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Charmander}}
Charmander's design was based on Charizard in such a way that it was surprising to see it evolving into the latter Pokémon.<ref name=Origin>[https://web.archive.org/web/20211108083831/https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/creator-profile-the-creators-of-pikachu/ Creator Profile: The Creators of Pikachu - Pokemon.com] (archived)</ref> In particular, Charmander was designed as a {{wp|lizard}}.<ref name=Origin/> Based on its name, Charmander is also based on a {{wp|salamander}}, which are amphibians that physically resemble lizards. {{wp|Cultural depictions of salamanders|In folklore and mythology}}, salamanders are often thought of as fire spirits capable of surviving in extreme heat or flames. As Charizard is based on a {{wp|European dragon}}, Charmander's lizardlike design seems to reference how Western dragons in folklore are heavily inspired by lizards and other reptiles, as well as how various types of lizards are likened to (and named after) dragons due to this connection. Its bipedal design resembles a baby {{wp|theropod}} dinosaur.

====Name origin====
Charmander is a combination of ''char'' (to burn) and ''salamander'', as stated in the January 1999 "POCKEMON JOURNAL" on the official [[Game Freak]] website.<ref>(January 1999). [https://web.archive.org/web/19990221135156/http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/POKEMON/NEWS/NEWS.HTM GAME FREAK | POCKEMON JOURNAL] (archive)</ref> Alternatively, in a 2016 interview with [[Tsunekazu Ishihara]] by INSIDE, Charmander is stated to be a combination of ''{{wp|charcoal}}'' (carbon residue produced by strongly heating wood) and ''{{wp|Salamandra}}'' (a genus of salamander including four species of fire salamander).<ref>(February 27, 2016). "[https://web.archive.org/web/20220928180754/https://www.inside-games.jp/article/2016/02/27/96339_2.html ポケモンが現実世界と仮想世界を繋いでいく、20年目の挑戦・・・株式会社ポケモン代表取締役社長・石原恒和氏インタビュー]" ''inside-games.jp''.</ref>

Hitokage may be a combination of 火 ''hi'' (fire) and 蜥蜴 ''tokage'' (lizard), forming together the word 火蜥蜴 ''hitokage'' (mythical salamander).

==In other languages==

'''Magikarp''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''コイキング''' ''Koiking'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

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

==Biology==
[[File:Magikarp Jump Pattern 30.png|thumb|left|200px|The "Blue Raindrops" variety of Magikarp]]
Magikarp is a {{wp|fish|piscine}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with large, heavy reddish-orange scales. It has large, vacant eyes and pink lips. Its {{wp|fish fin|pectoral}} and tail fins are white. On its back is a stiff, three-peaked yellow fin, resembling a crown; there is an identical fin on its underside. It also has long {{wp|barbel (anatomy)|barbels}}. The barbels are white on a female and pale-yellow on a male.

A long-lived Magikarp is able to utilize its immense splashing power to leap high enough to scale mountains. It also has a strong enough immune system to survive in the most polluted of waters. However, it is usually overlooked by Trainers because of its slow movements and physical weakness: even in the heat of battle, it will do nothing but flop around. It is believed that the ancestors of Magikarp were actually much stronger than modern Magikarp, and this led scientists to research this species.

Magikarp is found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|many bodies of water}}, such as lakes, rivers, and ponds. However, due to its weak swimming ability, it usually lives downstream of the water's flow. In [[Generation I]], {{m|Splash}} was its [[signature move]]. It is often seen using Splash to leap out of the water, which makes it an easy target for predators such as {{p|Pidgeotto}} and {{p|Pidgeot}}. {{p|Frillish}} is also known to prey on Magikarp.

In [[Hoppy Town]], there are at least [[Variant Pokémon#Magikarp|31 unique pattern varieties]] of Magikarp, with their scales coming in colors such as gray, black, white, purple, pink, violet, apricot, and brown. These patterns can be classified by groups, depending on how the Magikarp looks while it is still small; a specific pattern arises when it becomes bigger. Which patterns can be caught depend on the type of Old Rod; the better the rod, the more groups of patterns can be fished. The people in Hoppy Town train their Magikarp to jump the highest in order to compete in a series of [[League]]s to win prizes.

===Evolution===
Magikarp evolves into {{p|Gyarados}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:Magikarp Red Battle Chess.png|thumb|Magikarp in Pokémon Battle Chess]]
* Magikarp and {{p|Gyarados}} are the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that can be obtained without a [[trade]], [[transfer]], or {{pkmn2|event}} in every [[core series]] game.
* Magikarp, Gyarados, and {{p|Regigigas}} are the three Pokémon that can be encountered in the {{pkmn2|wild}} at the lowest and highest levels (not counting [[Hyperspace Lumiose|hyperspace]] levels). In {{game|Platinum}}, Magikarp can be found at levels ranging from level 1 to 100 in the [[Resort Area]], and in {{B2W2}}, it can be found at the same levels in the [[Nature Preserve]]; both require a [[Super Rod]]. Magikarp can also be encountered at level 100 in the rightmost lake of [[Fellhorn Gorge]] in [[Kitakami]].
* Magikarp and its evolved form require the fewest [[Egg cycle]]s to hatch, with five.
** Magikarp and its evolved form are also the only Pokémon with a [[List of Pokémon by breeding attributes|unique base Egg cycle]].
* In the [[Generation I]] games, Magikarp, {{p|Slowpoke}}, and {{p|Rhyhorn}} are the only Pokémon to have their [[List of Pokémon icons in Generations I and II|icon]] changed upon [[Evolution]].
* Magikarp was the first Pokémon featured in [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Lecture]] in [[EP061]].
* Magikarp and its evolved form's [[Egg Group]] combination ({{egg|Water 2}} and {{egg|Dragon}}) is unique.
* Magikarp is one of fourteen Pokémon that one could collect [[foreign Pokédex entries]] for in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* Magikarp shares several notable similarities to {{p|Feebas}}:
** Its level-up moves are exactly the same as those of Feebas.
*** However, Feebas can learn multiple moves from [[TM]]s and [[HM]]s, hatch from an Egg with [[Egg Move]]s, and learn new moves via Move Tutors, making it slightly more useful in battle.
** Magikarp shares its {{pkmn|category}} name with Feebas. They are both known as the Fish Pokémon.
** Magikarp and Feebas have almost identical stats. However, Magikarp has a higher {{stat|Special Attack}} and {{stat|Defense}}, while Feebas has a higher {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Defense}}. Both Attack and Defense stats for Magikarp and Feebas are reversed.
** They share the largest base stat total increase of all Pokémon when they evolve: 340 (from 200 to 540).
** They both change appearances drastically after Evolution, evolving into serpentine, dragon-like Pokémon.
* Magikarp has the lowest base {{stat|Attack}} stat of all {{type|Water}} Pokémon.
** Magikarp is also tied with {{p|Caterpie}}, {{p|Weedle}}, {{p|Igglybuff}}, {{p|Carvanha}}, {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Attack Forme}} {{p|Deoxys}}, and {{p|Stonjourner}} for having the lowest base {{stat|Special Defense}} stat of all Pokémon.
* Magikarp is the only Pokémon which can be found in every [[Pokémon Snap]] course except [[Rainbow Cloud]], which features only {{p|Mew}}.
* Together with {{p|Pichu}}, {{p|Rattata}}, {{p|Ninjask}}, {{p|Goldeen}}, and {{p|Seedot}}, Magikarp is the easiest Pokémon to catch in {{vg|Pokémon Ranger}}, with only one loop necessary.
* Magikarp is the only Pokémon in [[Pokémon Conquest]] that uses a move that it does not share a type with, as it uses {{m|Splash}}.
* On July 28, 2016, and May 12, 2017, [[The Pokémon Company]] and [[The Pokémon Company International]] respectively posted a Magikarp-themed music video onto their YouTube channels, titled [[the Magikarp Song]].
* Magikarp appears in {{DL|Pokémon Battle Chess|Pokémon Battle Chess}}. It doesn't behave like any traditional piece in chess. When damaged, it reveals Gyarados.
* Although Magikarp is stated by multiple Pokédex entries to be "the weakest Pokémon", there are several Pokémon with lower [[base stats|base stat totals]], such as {{p|Sunkern}}, or with access to fewer viable moves, such as {{p|Unown}} only being able to learn {{m|Hidden Power}}, and {{p|Cosmog}} and {{p|Cosmoem}} being unable to learn any damaging moves at all.
* In the {{pmin|Brazil|Brazilian Portuguese}} [[dub]] of the {{pkmn|animated series}}, especially during the [[S01|Indigo League]] arc of {{aniseries|OS}}, Magikarp was often referred to as "Magikarpa". Unlike what happened with the {{p|Bulbasaur}} line, this pronunciation was not kept in future series.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Magikarp}}
Magikarp appears to be based on the {{wp|Asian carp}}, which are easily frightened by disturbances in water and can jump 8–10 feet (2.5–3 m.) in the air. Its Shiny coloration may be a visual pun on a {{wp|goldfish}}. The golden dorsal fin of Magikarp may be based on a crown which likely originate from the pun on the Japanese word for goldfish 金魚 ''Kingyo''. Magikarp's permanently open mouth may be a reference to ''{{wp|koinobori}}'', a carp-shaped {{wp|windsock}} traditionally flown to celebrate {{wp|Children's Day (Japan)|Children's Day}} in Japan.

Magikarp's Evolution into Gyarados may be based on a legend about how carp that leaped over the {{wp|Longmen (mythology)|Dragon Gate}} would become dragons. Several waterfalls and cataracts in China are believed to be the location of the Dragon Gate. This legend is an allegory of the drive and efforts needed to overcome obstacles. This may have inspired an element in {{g|Snap}} where, after certain steps are taken, a Magikarp can splash its way into a waterfall where it evolves, as well as in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, as there is a waterfall in the Fabled Springs area of the [[Coronet Highlands]] where a school of Magikarp can be found at the plunge pool of the waterfall, while a small population of Gyarados can be found at the edge of the waterfall.

====Name origin====
Magikarp may be a combination of ''magic'' (referring to its drastic power increase upon evolving into Gyarados or to magical goldfishes) and ''{{wp|carp}}''.

Koiking may be a combination of 鯉 ''{{wp|koi}}'' (carp) and ''king'', which may come from 金魚 ''kingyo'' (goldfish).

'''Cubone''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カラカラ''' ''Karakara'') is a {{type|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Marowak}} starting at [[level]] 28.

In [[Alola]], Cubone evolves into {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Marowak}} when leveled up at [[Time-based Evolution|night]] starting at level 28.

==Biology==
Cubone is a small, bipedal, {{wp|dinosaur}}-like {{wp|reptile|reptilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a light brown hide that covers most of its body, except for its cream-colored belly. Two small claws, one on each hand, serve as its thumbs, and one large nail on each foot make up its toes. It has two small spikes on its back and a short tail. On its head, Cubone wears the skull of its dead mother as a helmet. Because of this, much of its actual face has never been seen, except for its triangular, black (sometimes green or blue) eyes and a small area surrounding them, and in its [[Bandai Namco]] card a bit of its mouth, where it has a pair of a few sharp teeth and a long pink tongue. The skull has two rounded horns on the top of its head and a tooth-like point on the lower sides. Under the skull, Cubone has a brown snout. This small Pokémon survives only through the immense skill it possesses in wielding the bone it carries as a weapon.

It is called the {{pkmn|category|Lonely Pokémon}} because of its tendency to keep to itself and avoid social situations, due to the trauma caused by the death of its {{p|Marowak}} mother. Cubone is said to have lost its mother shortly after being born. Cubone will often weep at night in mourning of its mother. When Cubone cries, the skull that it wears on its head vibrates and emits "a plaintive and mournful sound." On the night of a full moon, the cries are said to be especially terrible. Cubone seems to recognize a likeness of its mother in the full moon, and so it howls with a particular sadness. Its cries attract {{p|Mandibuzz}}, its natural predator, who uses this Pokémon's bones to decorate itself and its nest. It is said a Cubone will evolve into a {{p|Marowak}} once it comes to terms with the pain of its mother's death. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Cubone is known to cry while sleeping.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> It is theorized that Cubone's dreams are about its deceased mother. The dreams Cubone have make it cry, but crying makes it stronger. Cubone lives in rocky areas, usually on {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountains}} or in caves. It also once inhabited the Pokémon Tower in [[Lavender Town]] where deceased Pokémon were buried and mourned. One such Cubone's mother is shown as a ghost there.

Cubone and its evolved form, {{p|Marowak}}, are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the moves {{m|Bone Club}} and {{m|Bonemerang}}. Cubone and Marowak are also the only known Pokémon capable of using the [[Thick Club]] item. In Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|III}}, {{m|Bone Rush}} was another one of their signature moves.

===Evolution===
Cubone evolves into {{p|Marowak}}.

In [[Alola]], it evolves into {{rf|Alolan}} Marowak.

==Trivia==

[[File:Bandai Cubone card.jpg|thumb|200px|Cubone's face partially revealed]]
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Cubone was originally known as "Orphon", a corruption of the word "orphan", based on its abandonment at birth.
* Cubone is [[Midori Harada]]'s favorite {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
* Cubone is one of the Pokémon that appears in the [[Pokémon 151]] clothing line.
* Cubone is the only Pokémon that can [[Evolution|evolve]] into a dual-[[type]] Pokémon that doesn't share any types with its Evolution.
* A [[Bandai Pokémon Carddass Cards|Japanese trading card]], which features Cubone using the move {{m|Growl}}, partially reveals Cubone's face.
* While {{rf|Alolan}} Marowak shares the {{a|Rock Head}} [[Ability]] with Cubone, Cubone is unable to retain this Ability after evolving in the [[Alola]] [[region]]. This is because Cubone's Rock Head is its first Ability, while Alolan Marowak's Rock Head is its Hidden Ability. It shares this trait with {{p|Tyrogue}} and {{p|Hitmontop}}'s Ability {{a|Steadfast}}.
* In the [[PO02|second episode]] of [[Pokémon Origins]], a mother Marowak is shown protecting her child Cubone from [[Team Rocket]]. Even though the Marowak is alive, the Cubone is still wearing a skull.
* Despite the Pokédex saying that Cubone wears the skull of its dead mother, Cubone are born wearing the skull when hatched from [[Pokémon Egg|Eggs]].
* In ''[[The Official Pokémon Handbook|The Official Pokémon Handbook: Deluxe Edition]]'', there is no mention of Cubone wearing the skull of its mother. Instead, this is said in Cubone's Pokédex entry from this book: ''"Cubone uses the bones of ancient Pokémon to make armor and crude weapons."''

===Origin===
Cubone was created out of the thought of how sad it would be for a Pokémon to die.<ref>Satoshi Tajiri: "There's also Cubone, who was born from the thought of how sad it would be for a Pokémon to die. The bone Cubone holds is actually the bone of its dead mother. Cubone treasures it." [http://lavacutcontent.com/satoshi-tajiri-1997-interview/ Translation: Satoshi Tajiri Cuts Loose (1997 Interview)]</ref> In its design, it is reptilian in nature and seems to be loosely based on bipedal {{wp|dinosaur}}s. It also could be based on primitive cultures that wore bones for decoration and used them for weapons. The use of its bone {{m|Bonemerang|as a boomerang and as a weapon at the same time}} seems to be a reference to the {{wp|boomerang}}'s original use for hunting in {{wp|Indigenous Australians|Indigenous Australian}} cultures.

====Name origin====
Cubone is a combination of ''cub'' and ''bone''.<ref name=MonsterKids>Dockery, Daniel (October 4, 2022). ''[[Monster Kids: How Pokémon Taught a Generation to Catch Them All]]''. Running Press. p. 33. ISBN 978-0762479504.</ref>

Karakara may be derived from カラカラ ''karakara'' (onomatopoeia for light clattering), contrasting with the ガラガラ ''garagara'' (onomatopoeia for heavy clattering) in {{p|Marowak}}'s Japanese name.

'''Cubone''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カラカラ''' ''Karakara'') is a {{type|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Marowak}} starting at [[level]] 28.

In [[Alola]], Cubone evolves into {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Marowak}} when leveled up at [[Time-based Evolution|night]] starting at level 28.

==Biology==
Cubone is a small, bipedal, {{wp|dinosaur}}-like {{wp|reptile|reptilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a light brown hide that covers most of its body, except for its cream-colored belly. Two small claws, one on each hand, serve as its thumbs, and one large nail on each foot make up its toes. It has two small spikes on its back and a short tail. On its head, Cubone wears the skull of its dead mother as a helmet. Because of this, much of its actual face has never been seen, except for its triangular, black (sometimes green or blue) eyes and a small area surrounding them, and in its [[Bandai Namco]] card a bit of its mouth, where it has a pair of a few sharp teeth and a long pink tongue. The skull has two rounded horns on the top of its head and a tooth-like point on the lower sides. Under the skull, Cubone has a brown snout. This small Pokémon survives only through the immense skill it possesses in wielding the bone it carries as a weapon.

It is called the {{pkmn|category|Lonely Pokémon}} because of its tendency to keep to itself and avoid social situations, due to the trauma caused by the death of its {{p|Marowak}} mother. Cubone is said to have lost its mother shortly after being born. Cubone will often weep at night in mourning of its mother. When Cubone cries, the skull that it wears on its head vibrates and emits "a plaintive and mournful sound." On the night of a full moon, the cries are said to be especially terrible. Cubone seems to recognize a likeness of its mother in the full moon, and so it howls with a particular sadness. Its cries attract {{p|Mandibuzz}}, its natural predator, who uses this Pokémon's bones to decorate itself and its nest. It is said a Cubone will evolve into a {{p|Marowak}} once it comes to terms with the pain of its mother's death. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Cubone is known to cry while sleeping.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> It is theorized that Cubone's dreams are about its deceased mother. The dreams Cubone have make it cry, but crying makes it stronger. Cubone lives in rocky areas, usually on {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountains}} or in caves. It also once inhabited the Pokémon Tower in [[Lavender Town]] where deceased Pokémon were buried and mourned. One such Cubone's mother is shown as a ghost there.

Cubone and its evolved form, {{p|Marowak}}, are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the moves {{m|Bone Club}} and {{m|Bonemerang}}. Cubone and Marowak are also the only known Pokémon capable of using the [[Thick Club]] item. In Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|III}}, {{m|Bone Rush}} was another one of their signature moves.

===Evolution===
Cubone evolves into {{p|Marowak}}.

In [[Alola]], it evolves into {{rf|Alolan}} Marowak.

''"A Lonely Pokémon. It wears its mother's skull as a helmet--for this reason, no one has ever seen its face.

==Trivia==

[[File:Bandai Cubone card.jpg|thumb|200px|Cubone's face partially revealed]]
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Cubone was originally known as "Orphon", a corruption of the word "orphan", based on its abandonment at birth.
* Cubone is [[Midori Harada]]'s favorite {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
* Cubone is one of the Pokémon that appears in the [[Pokémon 151]] clothing line.
* Cubone is the only Pokémon that can [[Evolution|evolve]] into a dual-[[type]] Pokémon that doesn't share any types with its Evolution.
* A [[Bandai Pokémon Carddass Cards|Japanese trading card]], which features Cubone using the move {{m|Growl}}, partially reveals Cubone's face.
* While {{rf|Alolan}} Marowak shares the {{a|Rock Head}} [[Ability]] with Cubone, Cubone is unable to retain this Ability after evolving in the [[Alola]] [[region]]. This is because Cubone's Rock Head is its first Ability, while Alolan Marowak's Rock Head is its Hidden Ability. It shares this trait with {{p|Tyrogue}} and {{p|Hitmontop}}'s Ability {{a|Steadfast}}.
* In the [[PO02|second episode]] of [[Pokémon Origins]], a mother Marowak is shown protecting her child Cubone from [[Team Rocket]]. Even though the Marowak is alive, the Cubone is still wearing a skull.
* Despite the Pokédex saying that Cubone wears the skull of its dead mother, Cubone are born wearing the skull when hatched from [[Pokémon Egg|Eggs]].
* In ''[[The Official Pokémon Handbook|The Official Pokémon Handbook: Deluxe Edition]]'', there is no mention of Cubone wearing the skull of its mother. Instead, this is said in Cubone's Pokédex entry from this book: ''"Cubone uses the bones of ancient Pokémon to make armor and crude weapons."''

===Origin===
Cubone was created out of the thought of how sad it would be for a Pokémon to die.<ref>Satoshi Tajiri: "There's also Cubone, who was born from the thought of how sad it would be for a Pokémon to die. The bone Cubone holds is actually the bone of its dead mother. Cubone treasures it." [http://lavacutcontent.com/satoshi-tajiri-1997-interview/ Translation: Satoshi Tajiri Cuts Loose (1997 Interview)]</ref> In its design, it is reptilian in nature and seems to be loosely based on bipedal {{wp|dinosaur}}s. It also could be based on primitive cultures that wore bones for decoration and used them for weapons. The use of its bone {{m|Bonemerang|as a boomerang and as a weapon at the same time}} seems to be a reference to the {{wp|boomerang}}'s original use for hunting in {{wp|Indigenous Australians|Indigenous Australian}} cultures.

====Name origin====
Cubone is a combination of ''cub'' and ''bone''.<ref name=MonsterKids>Dockery, Daniel (October 4, 2022). ''[[Monster Kids: How Pokémon Taught a Generation to Catch Them All]]''. Running Press. p. 33. ISBN 978-0762479504.</ref>

Karakara may be derived from カラカラ ''karakara'' (onomatopoeia for light clattering), contrasting with the ガラガラ ''garagara'' (onomatopoeia for heavy clattering) in {{p|Marowak}}'s Japanese name.

'''Oddish''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ナゾノクサ''' ''Nazonokusa'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Gloom}} starting at [[level]] 21, which evolves into either {{p|Vileplume}} when exposed to a [[Leaf Stone]] or {{p|Bellossom}} when exposed to a [[Sun Stone]].

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]] for these details.)

==Biology==
[[File:Oddish planted.png|thumb|left|250px|An Oddish with its body buried in the ground]]
Oddish is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a blue {{wp|bulb|plant bulb}} or a {{wp|root vegetable}}. It has a round body, beady red eyes, a small mouth, and ovoid feet. Five large, green leaves sprout from its head. As demonstrated in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP137|Foul Weather Friends]]'', these leaves are prehensile and can be used to scale vertical surfaces and catch light objects. When defeated in the [[Pokémon Stadium series]], Oddish's leaves fall off its head. Known by the scientific name ''Oddium Wanderus'', Oddish lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}.

A nocturnal Pokémon, Oddish buries its sensitive body in the ground during the day to avoid the sun and fool predators. If its leaves are pulled in this state, it will respond by shrieking horribly. It starts to move when its leaves begin absorbing moonlight, which it uses to grow. Oddish will wander up to 1,000 feet (300 meters) during the night to scatter its seeds and find a nutrient-rich patch of soil in which to plant itself. The more fertile the earth, the glossier its leaves will be. It is thought that its feet become like tree roots while planted.

Prior to [[Generation II]], Oddish and its evolved forms were the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Petal Dance}}.

===Evolution===
Oddish evolves into {{p|Gloom}}, which evolves into either {{p|Vileplume}} or {{p|Bellossom}}.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]].)

In {{g|GO}}, Oddish could be obtained by completing the [[Special Research]], ''Distracted by Something Shiny''.

===Evolution data===
Oddish [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Gloom}} starting at [[level]] 21, which evolves into {{p|Vileplume}} when exposed to a [[Leaf Stone]] or {{p|Bellossom}} when exposed to a [[Sun Stone]]. Gloom cannot evolve into Bellossom in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} before the player obtains the [[National Pokédex]], as its Evolution will be interrupted. Gloom also cannot evolve into Bellossom in {{LGPE}}, as Bellossom is not present in those games.

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

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation II]], [[Bill's grandfather]] asks the {{player}} to bring him a "round, green" {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with leaves growing on its head, referring to Oddish. However, in those games and subsequent generations, Oddish's body (unless it is {{Shiny}}) is blue. The mistake might have been a translation error caused by the ambiguity of the Japanese word 青い ''aoi'', which can mean both blue and green. This is fixed in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
* Oddish has a scientific name: ''Oddium wanderus'', given in its {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|FireRed}} and {{pkmn|X and Y|Y}} [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]]. The only other Pokémon with a known scientific name is {{p|Kabutops}}, with ''Kabutops maximus''.
** In the Japanese versions of FireRed and Y, as well as {{2v2|Red|Green}}, Oddish's Pokédex entries instead state that it has the alias name アルキメンデス ''Arukimendesu''. This can either be seen as a corruption of ''{{wp|Archimedes}}'', the Greek mathematician; or as a direct reference to the popular Japanese instant noodles brand ''{{jwp|アルキメンデス|Archimendes}}'', which literally means 歩き麺です ''aruki men desu'' (instant noodles on the go). The latter may reference Oddish's appearance when walking.
* Oddish can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Bellsprout}}. Both are {{2t|Grass|Poison}}-type {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}}, {{cat|Pokémon that are part of a three-stage evolutionary line|part of a three-stage evolutionary line}}, can evolve starting at level 21, and whose second evolutionary event utilizes a [[Leaf Stone]]. Oddish is [[Version-exclusive Pokémon|exclusive]] to {{game3|Red and Blue|Pokémon Red|s}}, {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|FireRed|s}}, and [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu!]] while Bellsprout is exclusive to Blue, LeafGreen, and Let's Go, Eevee!, with both Pokémon found in the same locations in their respective versions. Additionally, both can be found at [[White Forest]] in {{game3|Black and White|White|s}}, and both Pokémon have had their {{pkmn|Egg}} designs revealed.
* In {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, Oddish is programmed to be able to learn {{m|Charm}} through {{pkmn|breeding}}, but no other Pokémon in the {{egg2|Grass}} can legitimately learn it to pass down as an [[Egg Move]] in those games. In [[Generation III]] and {{Gen|IV}}, Oddish can inherit the move from {{p|Shroomish}} by chain breeding. In Generation V onwards, Oddish can inherit the move directly from {{p|Cottonee}}.
* There is a recurring gag in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' where when {{Ash}} hears rustling in a bush, he looks in it and finds an Oddish.
* Oddish was featured in the third episode of [[Beyond the Pokédex]].
* In ''{{OBP|Pokémon Activity Book|1999}}'' (page 4), Oddish is referred to as the opposite of "evenish".

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Oddish}}
Oddish seems to be based on {{wp|mandrake}}, plants from the ''{{wp|Mandragora}}'' genus whose roots sometimes resemble human figures. Its habit of screaming when yanked out of the ground may be a reference to the myth that mandrakes will emit a deadly cry when uprooted. Its round body is also similar to various {{wp|bulb|bulbous}} plant such as {{wp|onion}}s as well as {{wp|root vegetable}}s such as {{wp|radish}}es and {{wp|turnip}}s. Its leaves are similar in shape to those of the {{wp|Dracaena trifasciata|snake plant}}.

====Name origin====
Oddish may be derived from ''oddish'' (somewhat odd) or a combination of ''odd'' (strange) and ''{{wp|radish}}''.

Nazonokusa may be a play on 謎の草 ''nazo no kusa'' (enigmatic herb).

==Blurb==

The party arrives in Celadon City, a perfectly pleasant town full of large department stores, condominiums, and fancy arcades. Brock and Misty are mesmerized, listening to a pretty young girl in a miniskirt, selling perfume. Appalled by the price of the perfume, Ash is kicked out of the department store, and heads for the Pokémon gym alone, but he is denied entrance to the Celadon Gym. The perfume that Ash criticized in the department store is produced in this gym. Brock and Misty enter the gym and befriend those who inhabit it, but Ash must go to some outrageous lengths in order to even set foot in the gym let alone prove himself worthy of battle against its Master.

==Plot==
As {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrive at [[Celadon City]], everyone but Ash notices a wonderful smell in the air, and {{an|Brock}} runs off. Ash finds him with his face against a store window, noticing several girls inside. Ash thinks Brock is wasting time and proceeds to leave, but {{an|Misty}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} are revealed to be inside the perfume store, admiring the variety of aromas. Misty asks about the cost, but Ash steps inside and urges her not to waste her money. The [[Erika|female manager]] confronts Ash, but he pushes it further by arguing that all perfumes are a waste and turn guys into zombies, pointing to Brock. Everyone in the store is against Ash about his remark, even his own friends, and they kick him out. Ash storms away and heads to the [[Celadon Gym]], but when he tries to enter, none of the Trainers are willing to let him in, having learned about his perfume distaste since the perfume originates from the [[Gym]]. The lead Trainer stamps a red cross on Ash's face before kicking him out and closing the doors.

Meanwhile, {{TRT}} sets up a ladder to sneak into the Gym and steal the perfume formula. While exploring the interior forest, [[Jessie]] runs into a {{p|Gloom}}. [[James]] waves at Gloom's face, waking it up. James sends out his {{TP|James|Koffing}} to unleash {{m|Poison Gas}}, but Gloom is unaffected by the attack, breathing it as if it were fresh air. Gloom responds by releasing its stench, the putrid smell instantly knocking out Team Rocket. {{MTR}} is unaffected since he does not have a nose, but the Trainers knock Meowth out with a hammer before planting red cross marks on all three of them, taking them outside and suspending them from a tree branch.

Ash runs into Team Rocket tied up in the tree. James asks Ash to free them, but Jessie refuses at first and taunts Ash for not getting into the Gym. Jessie offers to help Ash get inside the Gym if he releases them. Though reluctant at first, Ash does not want to pass up the opportunity to get the [[Badge]]. They go to the department store and Team Rocket dresses Ash up in a dress and blonde wig. Ash speaks about wanting to get back at the Trainers, but Team Rocket subtly points out that Ash needs to change his voice. Ash coughs and speaks again in a high-pitched voice, setting up his disguise. Jessie and James dress up as Ash's parents and go to the Gym to enroll Ash in the [[Pokémon training]] classes under the name {{DL|Cross-dressing|Ashley}}. Ash notices that the girl registering him into the class is the same one he saw at the store, but the disguise holds and he is successfully admitted. Team Rocket runs off to find the secret perfume formula while Ash unintentionally distracts the Trainers. Meowth, hiding under James's disguise, pulls out a blaster ball, asking what to do with it, and Jessie orders Meowth to plant it.

The Gym Trainers work out with their {{type|Grass}} Pokémon while Erika finishes telling a story to the group. Ash enters the room and finds Misty and Brock in the group. Ash finds out that Erika is not only the Gym Leader, but she is also the store manager from before. Brock steps forward to introduce the seemingly shy Ashley, as Ash notices Pikachu in the group as well. Misty asks Erika why Gloom does not emit its horrible smell. Erika points out that as long as Gloom feels safe, it will not smell. Erika recounts that she first met Gloom, her first Pokémon and motivation to become a Grass-type Gym Leader, when she was a child after she ran into a wild {{p|Grimer}}. Gloom came to her defense and used its stench to send Grimer scurrying. As Erika finishes the story, Misty wishes that Ash could have heard the story. Ash responds in his normal voice, raising suspicion as Misty takes a closer look at Ash. Pikachu gets closer and hugs Ash's leg. He pushes Pikachu away, making him angrily {{m|Thunder Shock|shock}} Ash, destroying the disguise. Ash drops the facade and challenges Erika to a {{pkmn|battle}}. Meanwhile, Team Rocket breaks into the safe holding the perfume.

Erika accepts the challenge and sets up a three-on-three battle. Ash sends out {{AP|Bulbasaur}} while Erika sends out {{p|Tangela}}, which prompts Ash to check his [[Pokédex]]. Bulbasaur attacks with {{m|Vine Whip}}, but Tangela uses {{m|Constrict}} to pull Bulbasaur closer before following up with {{m|Stun Spore}}, {{status|Paralysis|paralyzing}} Bulbasaur. Ash [[recall]]s Bulbasaur and Erika offers to treat it with a [[Paralyze Heal]], but he refuses. He briefly considers using {{AP|Primeape}}, but [[EP025|knowing from experience]] how [[Obedience|unruly]] the {{pkmn|category|Pig Monkey Pokémon}} is, he changes his mind and sends out {{AP|Charmander}} instead. Erika sends out {{p|Weepinbell}} and opens with a {{m|Razor Leaf}} attack. Charmander uses {{m|Flamethrower}} to stop the attack and send it back as fireballs. Charmander follows it up with a {{m|Skull Bash}} to [[fainting|knock out]] Weepinbell. Erika points out Ash's lack of empathy towards his Pokémon as she sends out Gloom. It releases its stench and upon smelling it, Charmander jumps into the air, holding his nose in disgust before fainting. Ash tries to decide on his next Pokémon, but Pikachu steps forward and offers to battle. Ash is not optimistic, but Pikachu is confident that he will win.

Team Rocket interrupts the battle and jumps down onto the battlefield. Meowth detonates a bomb, which is still attached to him, sending Team Rocket blasting off, though they manage to escape with the perfume. The bomb starts a massive fire and the Trainers quickly recall their Pokémon. Everyone gets outside as the fire grows out of control and threatens to destroy the Gym. Everyone tries to put the fire out, but their attempts are not very effective. Ash feels guilty that he allowed Team Rocket inside (and the prior remark about the Gym's perfume that caused the whole mess in the first place), but Misty snaps him out of it. He sends {{AP|Squirtle}} while Misty sends out {{TP|Misty|Staryu}} and {{TP|Misty|Starmie}} to fire {{m|Water Gun}} at the fire. Brock sends {{TP|Brock|Geodude}} to drop dirt on the flames. As they begin to get a hold of the fire, Erika runs around, frantic because she cannot find Gloom. She thinks Gloom is still inside and attempts to run in, but Misty stops her. Ash runs in instead. He finds Gloom scared, but as he approaches, Gloom releases its smell. The ceiling begins to cave in around Gloom. Ash takes a chance and holds his breath as he rushes into the room. He gets up to Gloom, but can no longer hold his breath as he takes a breath. However, he finds no smell, as Gloom knows that it will be safe.

Ash runs out of the burning Gym with Gloom in hand and everyone congratulates Ash for his bravery. The next day, Erika presents the {{Badge|Rainbow}} to Ash because he saved Gloom. Ash points out the lost potion, but Erika reveals that the bottle only held an ingredient of the secret perfume: Gloom's scent. Meanwhile, Team Rocket opens the bottle, the contents knocking them out.

==Trivia==
[[File:Ashley.png|thumb|100px|Ash as "Ashley"]]
* [[James]] mentions a real world animal, a skunk, when describing the smell Gloom emitted.
* The {{p|Paras}} line is the only [[Generation I]] {{type|Grass}} evolutionary line that is not represented in this episode.
* With the help of {{TRT}}, Ash [[Cross-dressing|cross-dresses]] to get into [[Celadon Gym]]. This, therefore, marks the first time Ash cross-dresses in the {{pkmn|animated series}}.
* [[Jessie]]'s method of using her legs to persuade [[James]] to go along with her plan may be a reference to a similar technique used by {{wp|Xenia Onatopp}} in the seventeenth James Bond film, ''{{wp|GoldenEye}}''; and a technique Jessie repeats in ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]''.
* In the episode, Meowth mentions that the cartoonists forgot to give him a nose, [[breaking the fourth wall]]. However, this was only in the [[dub]].
* This episode was [[Banned episodes|banned]] in {{pmin|South Korea}} for unknown reasons, likely due to featuring Japanese culture.
* This episode marks the only appearance of [[Ash's Primeape]] between its [[EP025|capture]] and [[EP029|departure]] episodes, although merely in a flashback.
* When the fire in the Gym starts, an unseen character voiced by [[Veronica Taylor]] can be heard saying "We [[gotta catch 'em all!]]".
* Parts of this episode are remade in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]''.
* James's disguise in this episode is a [[List of references to popular culture in Pokémon|reference]] to a character played by {{wp|Cha Katō}}.
* Ash shouting, "Fine! Fine! Fine!" in the Japanese version is a reference to a line from the ending of the series ''{{wp|Matchless Raijin-Oh}}'', a series which was also written by the writer of this episode, Hideki Sonoda.
** Coincidentally, the main character Jin Hyuga from the aforementioned series is voiced by [[Rica Matsumoto]], the voice actress for Ash.
* Shots from this episode were remade and reused in a flashback in ''[[JN094|Suffering the Flings and Arrows!]]''.

===Errors===
* At the beginning of the episode, the orange stripe on {{Ash}}'s [[bag]] is cream-colored.
* When [[Erika]] finishes telling the story about {{p|Omanyte}}, a miniature {{p|Victreebel}} is seen next to {{p|Gloom}} and {{p|Tangela}}, in the respect that it is only slightly taller than the two of them.
* When Erika explains that Gloom does not always have a bad smell, her bow is colored white like her apron instead of red.
* When the battle between Ash and Erika is about to begin, [[Ash's hat]] faces backward. However, when Ash sends out his {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, it faces forward.
* When Jessie opens the bottle of perfume at the end of the episode, Meowth's forepaws are colored orange instead of cream.

===Dub edits===
* [[Kanto Pokérap]]: Day 1 (Version 2)
* Most of the scenes involving the perfume shop had kanji removed from them.
* Erika's explanation towards what perfume was differed between the two versions. The English version resembled a kind of cheer, while the Japanese version mentioned that perfume helps people relax, gives them energy, and gives them a peace of mind.
* In the Japanese version, the women that deny Ash entry to the Gym state that Erika ordered for him to be banned. In the English dub, all direct mentions of Erika banning Ash from the Gym were omitted.
* The Cleopatra reference was dub only.
* The scene setting up the gag involving Meowth's lacking a nose was played out slightly differently between the two versions. In the Japanese version, Meowth was reacting along with everyone else about the smell, but then Jessie mentions "hana" as in "flower", by which point Meowth thinks about his own nose because hana means both "nose" and "flower" in Japanese. He starts panicking until he realizes that he doesn't have a nose. In the English dub, Meowth is complaining about his nose being on fire until Jessie reminds Meowth that he doesn't even have a nose, thus causing Meowth to panic about his nose "being dissolved by the fumes". He soon realizes that the "cartoonists never gave him one". Presumably, this was done due to this being an untranslatable joke.
** On a related note, Meowth's line of the [[breaking the fourth wall|cartoonists never giving him one]] was dub only.
* The department store had some banners removed as well as some kanji.
* The bombs are called "blaster balls" in the dub.
* The line about Erika having to accept challenges as Gym Leaders due to League rules was dub only.

'''Omanyte''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''オムナイト''' ''Omnite'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Water}} [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

It is revived from a [[Helix Fossil]] and [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Omastar}} starting at [[level]] 40.

==Biology==
[[File:Omanyte Omastar Withdraw.png|thumb|left|220px|Omanyte and Omastar hiding in their shells]]
Omanyte is a small extinct {{wp|cephalopod}} {{wp|mollusk}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} similar to an {{wp|Ammonoidea|ammonite}} or {{wp|nautilus}}. It has a sky blue body with ten tentacles and a pale yellow, helix-spiraled shell on its back. The shell's rim has two circular indents where Omanyte's large saucer-like eyes protrude. If attacked or threatened, it quickly withdraws into its hard shell.

Omanyte is considered extinct, although it can be revived from [[fossil]]s. Its fossils have been excavated in areas that were once {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|oceans}} long ago. Omanyte regulated its buoyancy by storing and releasing air within its shell and controlled direction by twisting its tentacles. While Omanyte fed on {{wp|plankton}}, it was preyed on by {{p|Archeops}} and {{p|Carracosta}}. Omanyte can now be found in the wild due to being released by people or escaping after being restored to life, causing this species to become a problem.

===Evolution===
Omanyte evolves into {{p|Omastar}}.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]].)

===Origin===
Omanyte appears to be based on the {{wp|Ammonoidea|ammonite}}, prehistoric mollusks related to the present-day squid and octopus that lived between the {{wp|Devonian}} period and the {{wp|Cretaceous}} period.

====Name origin====
Omanyte may be derived from ''{{wp|ammonite}}''.

Omnite may be a combination of 鸚鵡貝 ''ōmugai'' ({{wp|nautilus}}) and ''ammonite''.

'''Grimer''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ベトベター''' ''Betbeter'') is a {{type|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Muk}} starting at [[level]] 38.

In [[Alola]], Grimer has a dual-type {{2t|Poison|Dark}} [[regional form]]. It evolves into Alolan Muk starting at level 38. These Grimer can also be found in [[Blueberry Academy]]'s [[Terarium]].

==Biology==
[[File:Grimer OS concept art.png|thumb|200px|left|Concept art of Grimer for the [[original series]]]]
Grimer is a slimy, amorphous {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, born from sludge in dirty streams or seabeds that are exposed to lunar radiation. It has two large eyes with beady pupils and a gaping mouth with a gray tongue. While it lacks any visible legs, it does have two arms with three digits on each hand. Its purple sludge body contains a variety of pungent bacteria, which are so potent that it renders soil barren and incapable of supporting plant life. It is constantly oozing a bacteria-rich fluid from all parts of its body. Should it run out of internal germs, Grimer will die. Pieces of it often break off during travel and go on to become new Grimer. When combined with another Grimer, it produces new poisonous compounds.

Due to its lack of a solid form, Grimer is capable of squeezing into any space or crevices with relative ease. It uses this to penetrate sewage pipes and feed off of the filthy wastewater inside. Its population fluctuates based on the availability of waste, which is Grimer's main diet. It can be found in polluted lakes and streams, as well as within {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|cities and factories}} where trash and industrial waste can be found. In recent years, thanks to efforts in environmental improvements and a decrease in their food source of waste, Grimer is now facing extinction.

Prior to [[Generation IV]], Grimer and its evolved form, {{p|Muk}}, were the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Stench}} as an [[Ability]].

===Forms===
[[File:Alolan Grimer SM concept art.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Concept art of {{rf|Alolan}} Grimer for {{g|Sun and Moon}}]]
Grimer has a [[regional form]]: {{rf|Alolan}} Grimer.

Grimer was brought to Alola to deal with the excess waste generated by the region's increased population. Alolan Grimer eats solid garbage instead of sludge; this new diet has caused its body composition and form to change. Alolan Grimer's body is green with a line of yellow sludge along its lower lip that extends around behind its head, a bright blue tongue, and small black crescent-shaped spaces behind its eyes. It also has two blunt "teeth" in its upper jaw, which are actually crystallized toxins formed by its diet. It is not known how to break down these toxic crystals, but direct contact with them is known to be dangerous. Lethal poisons leak out of Alolan Grimer's body when these crystals fall out. Because it produces and stores toxins within its body, Alolan Grimer does not produce a foul stench like Kantonian Grimer.<ref>[https://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-ca/pokemon/alolan-muk/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Alolan Muk]</ref><ref>[[Samson Oak#Quotes|Samson Oak]]: "''Did you know that Alolan Grimer are in fact not native to the region at all, but instead are what we would call naturalized Pokémon? There is not so much sludge and pollution for Grimer to feed on here in Alola, though, so they have grown to feed on garbage instead. They do not give off a foul stench, thanks to the way they contain any poisons within their bodies, but their crystals are terribly poisonous!''"</ref>

There are usually about one hundred Alolan Grimer found living near waste-disposal sites in Alola, assisting people in dealing with garbage. Alolan Grimer is widely used and a very popular Pokémon used in garbage disposal facilities around the world. Alolan Grimer is perpetually hungry and must constantly eat trash. If no trash is readily available, it will eat other manufactured products instead.<ref>[https://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-ca/pokemon/alolan-grimer/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Alolan Grimer]</ref>
In addition to garbage, Alolan Grimer preys on {{p|Trubbish}} and {{p|Garbodor}}; its introduction to Alola caused their populations to decrease in the region. They can also be found in the [[Coastal Biome]] of [[Blueberry Academy]]'s [[Terarium]], where Alola's island life is simulated.

Alolan Grimer and its evolved form, Alolan {{p|Muk}}, are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Power of Alchemy}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===
Grimer evolves into {{p|Muk}}.

{{rf|Alolan}} Grimer evolves into Alolan Muk.

Grimer debuted in a flashback in ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]''.

In ''[[DP088|Camping It Up!]]'', a Grimer was assigned to {{an|Dawn}} by the [[Pokémon Summer Academy]]. She temporarily trained it, though its low self-esteem proved difficult.

===Pokémon Adventures===
In ''[[PS029|Go for the Golbat]]'', [[Koga]] wore a Grimer on his shoulder in the form of a ninja outfit.

He used it again during the {{pkmn|battle}} against [[Agatha]], but to little effect.

In ''[[PS119|A Flaaffy Kerfuffle]]'', a Grimer was in {{adv|Professor Oak}}'s fantasy when he explained that {{pkmn|Trainer}}s should only have six Pokémon with them.

[[Janine]] owns a Grimer in ''[[PS156|Notorious Noctowl]]''. She used it against [[Falkner]] during the [[Gym Leader]] face-off; during the battle; it used its {{m|Minimize}} attack to outwit his {{p|Noctowl}}.

A Grimer appeared in ''[[PM023|Clefairy Evolves... At Last?!]]''.

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

==Trivia==
* In ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]'', Grimer's {{pkmn|animated series}} debut, Grimer had a very strong odor that made most people around the Grimer cover their noses from the smell. However, in later episodes, Grimer's smell has seemingly ceased to exist. This is most obvious in ''[[DP088|Camping It Up!]]'', where {{an|Dawn}} is given a Grimer to train, and it immediately hugs her, but no one complains about any smell.
* Grimer shares similar traits to {{p|Koffing}} and {{p|Trubbish}}. All three Pokémon are pure {{type|Poison}} Pokémon with a single evolved form, roughly the same base stat totals and Evolution levels, and appear to be based on a different kind of pollution; Grimer being water pollution.
* {{rf|Alolan}} Grimer and its Alolan Evolution were designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/804500572967555072 Tweet by ありがひとし/ArigaHitoshi (@ariga_megamix).] Posted on December 2, 2016.</ref>
* Alolan Grimer had no [[Egg Move]]s in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} prior to Version 2.0.1. This was presumably unintentional, as it regained them in said version. The same situation occurred with {{p|Luvdisc}} and {{p|Cacnea}}.
* Alolan Grimer and its evolved form, Alolan {{p|Muk}}, are the only {{type|Dark}} {{DL|List of Pokémon by shape|Pokémon consisting of a head and arms}}.

===Origin===
Grimer appears to be a pile of living {{wp|sludge}}, and may be based upon the general concept of living slime in popular culture. It may also be based on the imagined fear that heavy pollution, caused by the leakage and/or improper disposal of toxic/radioactive waste, may result in the creation of new and undesirable life. It may also be based on ''Dorotabō'', a one-eyed, three-fingered ''{{wp|yōkai}}'' that rises from the mud of neglected, overgrown rice fields.

Alolan Grimer may be based on an {{wp|oil slick}}, particularly the rainbow colors that are produced when a thin layer of oil floats on top of water; this is due to a phenomenon called {{wp|thin-film interference}}. In the real world, oil spills are a major threat to ecosystems in the world's oceans and particularly in Hawaii, which Alola is based on. Its reduced size may reference {{wp|insular dwarfism}} or, since its Alolan Form was brought about by human influence, {{wp|dwarfing}}.

====Name origin====
Grimer may be derived from ''grime'' (dirt or filth).

Betbeter may be derived from べとべと ''betobeto'' and べたべた ''betabeta'', both meaning sticky.

'''Bellsprout''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マダツボミ''' ''Madatsubomi'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Weepinbell}} starting at [[level]] 21, which evolves into {{p|Victreebel}} when exposed to a [[Leaf Stone]].

==Biology==
Bellsprout is a {{wp|plant}}-based {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a stem-like brown body. There is a single green leaf on each side of its body. It has a yellow bell-shaped head with what appear to be pink lips at the end and beady black eyes. It is capable of spitting corrosive acid from its mouth. Its stem is long, thin and very flexible, making it capable of swerving rapidly to avoid many attacks or moving with blinding speed to capture prey. Its roots resemble feet, and it uses them as such.

It will plant its roots in the ground to replenish water, but it is unable to flee while it is rooted. Bellsprout prefers hot and humid places, thus it lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|temperate forests and jungles}}. As mentioned in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Bellsprout is known to sleep while planting its roots deep in the ground.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> Because Bellsprout feels so safe while sleeping, it tends to forget that it may need to run from danger.

===Evolution===
Bellsprout evolves into {{p|Weepinbell}}, which evolves into {{p|Victreebel}}.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]].)

Later, during the {{MangaArc|Yellow}}, it was revealed to have fully evolved.

In ''[[PS022|A Hollow Victreebel]]'', a hidden colony of Bellsprout evolutionary line members in the {{safari|Kanto}} captured {{adv|Red}} for their [[Evolution]] ritual.

By morning, Red had {{pkmn2|caught}} multiple Safari Zone Pokémon, including several Bellsprout.

A sextet of Bellsprout was seen in ''[[PS097|Bellsprout Rout]]'', during {{adv|Gold}}'s visit to [[Sprout Tower]].

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

==Trivia==
* Bellsprout shares its {{pkmn|category}} name with {{p|Vileplume}} and {{p|Bellossom}}. They are all known as the Flower Pokémon.
* Bellsprout can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Oddish}}. Both of them are {{2t|Grass|Poison}} type {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}}, {{cat|Pokémon that are part of a three-stage evolutionary line|part of a three-stage evolutionary line}}, can evolve starting at level 21, and whose second evolutionary event utilizes a [[Leaf Stone]]. Bellsprout is exclusive to {{game|Red and Blue|s|Pokémon Blue}}, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|LeafGreen}}, and [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Eevee!]] while Oddish is exclusive to Pokémon Red, FireRed, and Let's Go, Pikachu!, with both Pokémon found in the same locations in their respective versions. Additionally, both can be found at [[White Forest]] in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon White}}, and both Pokémon have had their {{pkmn|Egg}} designs revealed.
* Despite learning {{m|Leech Life}} through {{pkmn|breeding}}, Bellsprout and its evolved forms could not learn it through [[TM]] until {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.
* Bellsprout is tied with {{p|Sunkern}} and {{p|Seedot}} for the lowest base {{stat|Special Defense}} stat of all {{type|Grass}} Pokémon.

===Concept and development===
Bellsprout, along with its evolutionary relatives, was designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/19980121112202fw_/http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/POKEMON/INTER/ATSUKO/INTER_AT.HTM Interview with Atsuko Nishida on Game Freak's website] (archived, Japanese)</ref><ref>[https://funs-project.com/poplab/007/index_2.html Fun's Project interview with Atsuko Nishida] (Japanese)</ref>

===Origin===
Bellsprout may be based on carnivorous {{wp|pitcher plant}}s, particularly those of the ''{{wp|Nepenthes}}'' genus. Given that Bellsprout has been [[Erika's_Bellsprout_(Gym_Heroes_75)|depicted]] among bellflowers and the Japanese name of [[Violet City]], home of [[Sprout Tower]], means {{wp|Platycodon|Chinese bellflower}}, it may also be based on bellflowers.

Its {{game|Red and Green|s}} Pokédex entry suggests that it is based on the {{wp|mandrake}}, a plant known for having "man-shaped" roots. Bellsprout may also be inspired by Rene Magritte's painting, [https://www.wikiart.org/en/rene-magritte/the-rights-of-man-1947 The Rights of Man].

====Name origin====
Bellsprout may be a combination of ''bell'' and ''sprout''.

Madatsubomi may be derived from まだ蕾 ''mada tsubomi'' (still in bud).

'''Oddish''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ナゾノクサ''' ''Nazonokusa'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Gloom}} starting at [[level]] 21, which evolves into either {{p|Vileplume}} when exposed to a [[Leaf Stone]] or {{p|Bellossom}} when exposed to a [[Sun Stone]].

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]] for these details.)

==Biology==
[[File:Oddish planted.png|thumb|left|250px|An Oddish with its body buried in the ground]]
Oddish is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a blue {{wp|bulb|plant bulb}} or a {{wp|root vegetable}}. It has a round body, beady red eyes, a small mouth, and ovoid feet. Five large, green leaves sprout from its head. As demonstrated in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP137|Foul Weather Friends]]'', these leaves are prehensile and can be used to scale vertical surfaces and catch light objects. When defeated in the [[Pokémon Stadium series]], Oddish's leaves fall off its head. Known by the scientific name ''Oddium Wanderus'', Oddish lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}.

A nocturnal Pokémon, Oddish buries its sensitive body in the ground during the day to avoid the sun and fool predators. If its leaves are pulled in this state, it will respond by shrieking horribly. It starts to move when its leaves begin absorbing moonlight, which it uses to grow. Oddish will wander up to 1,000 feet (300 meters) during the night to scatter its seeds and find a nutrient-rich patch of soil in which to plant itself. The more fertile the earth, the glossier its leaves will be. It is thought that its feet become like tree roots while planted.

Prior to [[Generation II]], Oddish and its evolved forms were the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Petal Dance}}.

===Evolution===
Oddish evolves into {{p|Gloom}}, which evolves into either {{p|Vileplume}} or {{p|Bellossom}}.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]].)

In {{g|GO}}, Oddish could be obtained by completing the [[Special Research]], ''Distracted by Something Shiny''.

===Evolution data===
Oddish [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Gloom}} starting at [[level]] 21, which evolves into {{p|Vileplume}} when exposed to a [[Leaf Stone]] or {{p|Bellossom}} when exposed to a [[Sun Stone]]. Gloom cannot evolve into Bellossom in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} before the player obtains the [[National Pokédex]], as its Evolution will be interrupted. Gloom also cannot evolve into Bellossom in {{LGPE}}, as Bellossom is not present in those games.

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

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation II]], [[Bill's grandfather]] asks the {{player}} to bring him a "round, green" {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with leaves growing on its head, referring to Oddish. However, in those games and subsequent generations, Oddish's body (unless it is {{Shiny}}) is blue. The mistake might have been a translation error caused by the ambiguity of the Japanese word 青い ''aoi'', which can mean both blue and green. This is fixed in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
* Oddish has a scientific name: ''Oddium wanderus'', given in its {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|FireRed}} and {{pkmn|X and Y|Y}} [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]]. The only other Pokémon with a known scientific name is {{p|Kabutops}}, with ''Kabutops maximus''.
** In the Japanese versions of FireRed and Y, as well as {{2v2|Red|Green}}, Oddish's Pokédex entries instead state that it has the alias name アルキメンデス ''Arukimendesu''. This can either be seen as a corruption of ''{{wp|Archimedes}}'', the Greek mathematician; or as a direct reference to the popular Japanese instant noodles brand ''{{jwp|アルキメンデス|Archimendes}}'', which literally means 歩き麺です ''aruki men desu'' (instant noodles on the go). The latter may reference Oddish's appearance when walking.
* Oddish can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Bellsprout}}. Both are {{2t|Grass|Poison}}-type {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}}, {{cat|Pokémon that are part of a three-stage evolutionary line|part of a three-stage evolutionary line}}, can evolve starting at level 21, and whose second evolutionary event utilizes a [[Leaf Stone]]. Oddish is [[Version-exclusive Pokémon|exclusive]] to {{game3|Red and Blue|Pokémon Red|s}}, {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|FireRed|s}}, and [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu!]] while Bellsprout is exclusive to Blue, LeafGreen, and Let's Go, Eevee!, with both Pokémon found in the same locations in their respective versions. Additionally, both can be found at [[White Forest]] in {{game3|Black and White|White|s}}, and both Pokémon have had their {{pkmn|Egg}} designs revealed.
* In {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, Oddish is programmed to be able to learn {{m|Charm}} through {{pkmn|breeding}}, but no other Pokémon in the {{egg2|Grass}} can legitimately learn it to pass down as an [[Egg Move]] in those games. In [[Generation III]] and {{Gen|IV}}, Oddish can inherit the move from {{p|Shroomish}} by chain breeding. In Generation V onwards, Oddish can inherit the move directly from {{p|Cottonee}}.
* There is a recurring gag in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' where when {{Ash}} hears rustling in a bush, he looks in it and finds an Oddish.
* Oddish was featured in the third episode of [[Beyond the Pokédex]].
* In ''{{OBP|Pokémon Activity Book|1999}}'' (page 4), Oddish is referred to as the opposite of "evenish".

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Oddish}}
Oddish seems to be based on {{wp|mandrake}}, plants from the ''{{wp|Mandragora}}'' genus whose roots sometimes resemble human figures. Its habit of screaming when yanked out of the ground may be a reference to the myth that mandrakes will emit a deadly cry when uprooted. Its round body is also similar to various {{wp|bulb|bulbous}} plant such as {{wp|onion}}s as well as {{wp|root vegetable}}s such as {{wp|radish}}es and {{wp|turnip}}s. Its leaves are similar in shape to those of the {{wp|Dracaena trifasciata|snake plant}}.

====Name origin====
Oddish may be derived from ''oddish'' (somewhat odd) or a combination of ''odd'' (strange) and ''{{wp|radish}}''.

Nazonokusa may be a play on 謎の草 ''nazo no kusa'' (enigmatic herb).

'''Gloom''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''クサイハナ''' ''Kusaihana'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Oddish}} at [[level]] 21 and evolves into either {{p|Vileplume}} when exposed to a [[Leaf Stone]] or {{p|Bellossom}} when exposed to a [[Sun Stone]].

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]] for these details.)

==Biology==
[[File:Gloom eyes.png|thumb|left|250px|Gloom's eyes as seen in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'']]
Gloom is a blue, bipedal ''{{wp|Rafflesia}}''-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with rudimentary hands and feet. On its head is a flower with spherical petals surrounded by four reddish-brown leaves. The petals are a dark reddish-brown and have white spots. A female displays a single large spot on each petal, while a male will have many smaller spots. Gloom's eyes are wide and often appear closed and its lips are thin and purple.

Gloom trickles sticky nectar from its mouth with the appearance and consistency of drool. This can be used as a fertilizer for plants. Both this nectar and the flower on Gloom's head release a foul odor strong enough to induce fainting in humans over a mile (1.6 kilometers) away. However, it can also attract prey, and even a very small number of humans find it pleasing. This odor is a key ingredient for some perfume production. When it is in danger, the odor worsens, but it will not emit its odor if it feels safe. Gloom lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grassy plains}}.

Prior to [[Generation II]], Gloom and its evolutionary relatives were the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Petal Dance}}.

===Evolution===
Gloom evolves from {{p|Oddish}} and evolves into either {{p|Vileplume}} or {{p|Bellossom}}.

In {{g|GO}}, Gloom can be obtained by completing 1/6 of the [[Special Research]], ''A Seven-Colored Shadow''.

===Evolution data===
Gloom [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Oddish}} at [[level]] 21 and evolves into either {{p|Vileplume}} when exposed to a [[Leaf Stone]] or {{p|Bellossom}} when exposed to a [[Sun Stone]]. Gloom cannot evolve into Bellossom in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} before the player obtains the [[National Pokédex]], as its Evolution will be interrupted. Gloom also cannot evolve into Bellossom in {{LGPE}}, as Bellossom is not present in those games.

==Trivia==
* Gloom is the only dual-type Pokémon that can evolve into {{p|Bellossom|a single-type Pokémon}}.
* In ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', [[James]]'s description of Gloom's stench is confused in some sources as a description of his {{TP|James|Koffing}}.
* Although Gloom has the {{a|Chlorophyll}} Ability, it is actually based on a genus of plants (''{{wp|Rafflesia}}'') that do not contain {{wp|chlorophyll}}.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Gloom and Vileplume}}
Gloom seems to be based on a {{wp|mandrake}}, plants from the ''{{wp|Mandragora}}'' genus whose roots sometimes resemble human figures, and the {{wp|Bud|budding}} stage of ''{{wp|Rafflesia}}'', a genus of parasitic plants known for their large, foul smelling flowers. Its brown leaves may also allude to its parasitic origins, as if the flower is drawing nutrients away from Oddish's formerly green leaves and causing them to wilt. Female Gloom resemble ''{{wp|Rafflesia hasseltii}}'' due to the larger spots on their petals.

Its tendency to emit a foul odor when it feels threatened is similar to a {{wp|skunk}} and comes from Rafflesia's rotting flesh smell. The fact that its pungent pollen can be made into a fragrant {{wp|perfume}} may be a reference to {{wp|musk}}, an aromatic substance secreted from the glands of various animals that is a common perfume ingredient but smells unpleasant in high concentrations.

====Name origin====
Gloom may be derived from ''gloom'' (a state of depression), ''glue'' (due to the sticky substance), and ''{{wp|Flower|bloom}}''. It may also involve ''{{wp|glume}}'' (a leaf-like structure).

Kusaihana may be derived from 臭い花 ''kusai hana'' (stinking flower).

'''Misty's Staryu''' (Japanese: '''カスミのヒトデマン''' ''Kasumi's Hitodeman'') was one of the three original {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} acquired by {{an|Misty}} in the [[Kanto]] [[region]] prior to the start of the {{pkmn|animated series}}, and the second one seen in her possession. Staryu also appeared in most of the {{pkmn|games}} Misty appears in.

==In animation==
===History===
===={{aniseries|OS}}====
=====Kanto=====
[[File:Ash vs Misty EP007.png|left|thumb|220px|Staryu in the Cerulean Gym battle]]
Staryu first appeared in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]'', where it was sent out by Misty to defeat {{TRT}}'s {{MTR}} at [[Mt. Moon]]. It first attacked Meowth with a {{m|Swift}}, followed by a {{m|Water Gun}} that sent him blasting off.

Misty used Staryu in her Gym battle against {{Ash}} in [[EP007|the next episode]]. When Ash did not recognize Staryu, he used his [[Pokédex]] on it; he later commented "Leave it to a girl to show off her jewelry!". Staryu demonstrated an Ability similar to {{a|Natural Cure}}, despite Abilities not having been introduced at the time, by diving into the water to negate {{TP|Ash|Butterfree}}'s {{m|Stun Spore}} and {{m|Sleep Powder}}. It also seemed to be rather clumsy, as it missed Butterfree and nearly slipped, almost falling into the water. Despite this, Staryu was able to beat Butterfree by Tackling it into the water.

Staryu was also used for its strong swimming abilities, helping {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} escape the sunken [[S.S. Anne|St. Anne]] in ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]'', and also later helped the team escape [[James's Gyarados]]. It reappeared in ''[[EP019|Tentacool & Tentacruel]]'', where it helped {{TP|Misty|Goldeen}} and {{TP|Misty|Starmie}} rescue sailors and repel attacks from invading {{p|Tentacool}}, and later helped put out a fire at the [[Celadon Gym]] in [[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]] It also tried to help the group get to the [[North Pole]], along with Goldeen, Starmie, and {{AP|Squirtle}} in ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'', however it, along with its fellow swimmers, tired out before they made it.

Misty intended to use Staryu during the [[Queen of the Princess Festival]] contest in ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'', but, as is often the case with Misty calling out Staryu, {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} came out instead. A similar situation happened in ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quack-tion]]'', where Misty wanted to have Staryu audition for a movie. However, Staryu did get a role in helping provide the rain effects for the final scene.

In ''[[EP059|Volcanic Panic]]'', it was sent out to cool off {{TP|Brock|Onix}}, {{TP|Brock|Geodude}}, and {{AP|Pikachu}} with water as they dammed the erupting [[Cinnabar Island]] volcano.

=====Orange Islands=====
[[File:Misty Staryu EP103.png|thumb|220px|Misty swimming with Staryu]]
Staryu would again be called to help tow a raft to escape a [[Fukuhara Island No. 4|crumbling island]] made up of {{p|Kabuto}} that were then reviving in ''[[EP089|Shell Shock!]]''. It also danced on stage in ''[[EP090|Stage Fight!]]'' to help a traveling riverboat show that dubbed acting Pokémon with human voices backstage.

Staryu's strength was called upon in ''[[EP091|Bye Bye Psyduck]]'', battling {{OBP|Marina|EP091}}'s {{p|Tentacruel}}. Upon entering battle, Marina commented that it was an excellent looking Staryu, and Misty responded that Staryu was one of her favorite Pokémon and that she polished it daily. The pampering appeared to pay off, as it was able to take down Tentacruel with one Swift attack. It was, however, defeated by Marina's powerful {{p|Psyduck}}.

In ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]'', Staryu utilized its excellent swimming skills to rescue [[Mahri]] and her {{p|Seel}} from the whirlpools of [[Trovitopolis]].

Staryu teamed up with {{Tracey}}'s {{TP|Tracey|Marill}} and [[Captain Aidan]]'s Team {{p|Squirtle}} in ''[[EP106|The Pokémon Water War]]'' to fight a fire. They managed to help out long enough for [[Team Wartortle]] to come and take care of the rest.

In ''[[EP110|The Stun Spore Detour]]'', [[Misty's Politoed|a wild Poliwag]] sought protection from James and Meowth by hiding behind Misty. Staryu defeated [[James's Weezing]] by using Tackle, followed by Double-Edge, which not only cut through Weezing's {{m|Smog}}, but also sent Weezing flying.

In ''[[EP113|Viva Las Lapras]]'', Staryuwas called out, along with Goldeen, {{TP|Misty|Poliwag}}, and Squirtle, to help defeat the pirate poachers attempting to capture {{AP|Lapras}}'s mother and family. It joined the other Pokémon in destroying the pirates' cannons with its Water Gun.

[[File:Misty and Staryu.png|thumb|220px|left|Staryu and Misty]]
Although Misty used Staryu quite often in Kanto and during the [[Orange Islands]] saga, after she {{pkmn2|caught}} her Poliwag, she started to use it less often. By the end of the Johto saga, Misty hardly ever used Staryu, preferring to use her {{TP|Misty|Corsola}} and Politoed.

In ''[[EP147|The Fire-ing Squad!]]'', Staryu was entered into the [[Fire and Rescue Grand Prix]] with Ash, alongside [[Ash's Pikachu]], his Squirtle, and Psyduck. The group competed against a team of {{p|Muk}} to see who could put out a fire the fastest. Staryu and Squirtle used duel Water Guns while Pikachu kicked dirt at it. Things went well until Psyduck got in the way and ended up getting thrown into the fire. Squirtle rescued it, but the loss in time cost them the match.

Staryu was later used to fight Ash to win a {{AP|Totodile}} in ''[[EP151|The Totodile Duel]]''. It battled his {{AP|Chikorita}}, showing high determination, digging in its heels against a Tackle and dodging through {{m|Razor Leaf}} and {{m|Vine Whip}}. It was also able to strike a powerful Water Gun that jetted Chikorita several feet up and across the battlefield. It was, however, beaten to the ground by a powerful Vine Whip. Misty later apologized to Staryu, saying she hoped she had not pushed it too hard and only did so because she had an immense amount of faith in the Pokémon.

In ''[[EP157|The Fortune Hunters]]'', Staryu was sent out alongside Totodile to stop [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]]'s fake {{pkmn|Day Care}} scheme. Staryu landed a hit on Butch's {{p|Primeape}} before being taken down by {{m|Dynamic Punch}}.

In ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'', Staryu was called up against [[Molly Hale]]. Being underwater, Staryu showed to be even more capable than on land. It went up against {{p|Mantine}} and scored a couple of Tackles before looping around for another run. Before it was able to hit, Staryu was hit by Mantine's {{m|Whirlpool}}, although the attack, even combined with a direct hit from Bubble Beam, was not able to even affect it slightly. It then easily dissipated the Whirlpool with Rapid Spin and went on the offensive with several high speed Tackles, chasing Mantine through the water in dogged pursuit. The rest of the battle was not shown.

In ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', Staryu was sent out alongside Misty and Brock's Pokémon to stop {{an|Giovanni}} and the rest of [[Team Rocket]] from recapturing {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}. Their distraction gave Ash the time he needed to take Mewtwo to the top of [[Mount Quena]] so it could be healed.

Staryu acted as a firefighter again in ''[[EP253|Great Bowls of Fire!]]'', where it attempted to rescue the Pokémon trapped by a raging fire in the [[Dragon Holy Land]].

====[[Pokémon Chronicles]]====
In ''[[HS02|Cerulean Blues]]'', Staryu was used to defend the [[Cerulean Gym]] from a challenge by the [[Invincible Pokémon Brothers]]. Staryu battled very well, until Kim's {{p|Hitmonchan}} launched a sneak attack on it, knocking it out. Despite not being able to battle, Staryu won by default due to the Pokémon Brother's cheating by using the illegal sneak attack. Kim tried to justify himself, but [[Nurse Joy]]'s ruling stood.

In ''[[HS16|Luvdisc is a Many Splendored Thing!]]'', Staryu performed as a part of {{an|Daisy}}'s water ballet.

===={{aniseries|RS}}====
In ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'', Misty used Staryu to battle [[Dr. Yung]]'s {{pkmn2|Mirage}} {{p|Aggron}}. Staryu began with a direct hit with Bubble Beam, which failed to faze Aggron. It was then struck with a strong {{m|Sandstorm}} attack. Misty then ordered Staryu to use Water Gun, but this was countered with {{m|Thunder Wave}}, and the Star Shape Pokémon was finished off with a volley of {{m|Bullet Seed}}s.

===={{aniseries|SM}}====
[[File:Misty Staryu tired.png|thumb|220px|Staryu's flashing gem when tired]]
In ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'', Misty sent Staryu out to destroy [[Team Rocket's mechas|Team Rocket's mecha]] with Bubble Beam.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
In ''[[JN145|Rocket Revengers!]]'', Misty sent out Staryu to use Water Gun to stop a {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} from [[James's Yamask]]. It then joined Misty and Psyduck in battling him and [[Jessie's Frillish]].

===Personality and characteristics===
While Staryu does not seem to have much of a personality due to its extremely un-anthropomorphic features, its core and stance are often indicators of its emotions. Most of its personality is seen in battle, where it is shown to be confident and powerful, often being Misty's top choice. The two have a strong relationship, with Misty having mentioned she polishes Staryu daily.

On land, Staryu's wide array of attacks make it a tough opponent, while its speed is maximized in the water, where it often used by Misty for its strong swimming abilities. Its excellent swimming capabilities were showcased in ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]'', where it was able to navigate the whirlpools of [[Trovitopolis]] while carrying Misty, [[Mahri]], and her {{p|Seel}}. This is in contrast to Seel and [[Team Rocket's mechas|Team Rocket's submarine]], who were unable to move through the rough waters. It often shimmers when called into {{pkmn|battle}}s, and its core glows pink, accompanied by a siren-like noise, when tired or weakened.

'''Ash's Squirtle''' (Japanese: '''サトシのゼニガメ''' ''Satoshi's Zenigame'') was the fifth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Kanto]] [[region]], and his sixth overall.

==In animation==
===History===
===={{aniseries|OS}}====
=====Kanto=====
[[File:Ash and Squirtle.png|thumb|250px|left|Squirtle and Ash]]
Squirtle first appeared in ''[[EP012|Here Comes the Squirtle Squad]]'' as the leader of a gang known as the [[Squirtle Squad]], a group of rogue Squirtle who were deserted by their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. {{MTR}} managed to befriend the Squirtle Squad by convincing them that [[Jessie]] and [[James]] were his pets. On Meowth's orders, the Squirtle Squad captured {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} so they could take {{AP|Pikachu}} back to Meowth. Ash managed to convince the Squirtle Squad to free him and allow him to get a [[Super Potion]] for Pikachu, who was badly injured after an earlier encounter with a {{p|Goldeen}}. The Squirtle Squad allowed Ash to go, but they threatened to execute Misty (bleach her hair in the English [[dub]]) if he didn't return by the next day.
[[File:Ash Squirtle bombs.png|thumb|220px|Squirtle saving Ash, after Ash had done the same]]
When Ash got back with the Super Potion, Team Rocket betrayed the Squirtle Squad and began bombing them after they captured Pikachu. The group ran for cover inside the Squirtle Squad's cave; however, when Ash noticed that the leader was stuck on its shell, he rushed in and shielded Squirtle's body with his own. Dazed and with more bombs en route, Ash told Squirtle to save itself. Touched by Ash's loyalty, Squirtle tearfully carried Ash to the cave and then defeated Team Rocket with {{m|Water Gun}}. However, Team Rocket's bombs had started a forest fire, which the Squirtle Squad worked together to put out. Once it was extinguished, [[Officer Jenny]] appointed the Squirtle Squad as the official town firefighters. The leader, however, preferred to join Ash on his {{pkmn|journey}} rather than fight fires alongside his group, as it wanted to repay Ash for saving its life during the bombing. After being accepted, Squirtle ran into Ash's arms, as the Trainer declared he had {{pkmn2|caught}} a Squirtle.

During its time with Ash, Squirtle became one of Ash's three most trustworthy Pokémon, next to Pikachu and {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, and it was used often. Squirtle's {{t|Water}} type and ability to swim helped Ash a few times, notably during the escape from St. Anne in ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]''.

Squirtle was separated from Ash in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]''-along with Pikachu, Bulbasaur, and {{AP|Charmander}}-after a group of {{p|Gyarados}} sent them flying with {{m|Dragon Rage}}. During the separation, Squirtle remained relatively good-spirited, though was shown to be worried when Bulbasaur suggested they were abandoned. When Ash's Pokémon came across Team Rocket's Pokémon, who were also separated from their Trainers, the two groups of Pokémon joined forces to look for them. The next day, the group came across a group of giant Pokémon and ended up being chased by them straight to Ash, his friends, and Team Rocket, allowing them to reunite.

In ''[[EP019|Tentacool & Tentacruel]]'', Squirtle and {{TP|Brock|Zubat}} battled a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{p|Tentacruel}}, but they were knocked out by Tentacruel's attack. Ash later attempted to send Squirtle out to battle [[Sabrina]]'s {{TP|Sabrina|Kadabra}} in ''[[EP024|Haunter versus Kadabra]]'', but it refused to battle the [[Saffron City]] [[Gym Leader]]'s powerful {{t|Psychic}} Pokémon. In ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]'', Squirtle uses Water Gun to help douse a fire caused by Team Rocket at the [[Celadon Gym]].
[[File:Misty Starmie Pikachu Squirtle Pokemon-athon.png|thumb|left|220px|Squirtle bearing Pikachu across the water]]
In ''[[EP033|The Flame Pokémon-athon!]]'', Squirtle served as Pikachu's partner during the [[Big P Pokémon Race]], while Ash took [[Lara Laramie]]'s place and used her {{p|Ponyta}}. Despite their significant disadvantage due to Squirtle's short legs and Pikachu's weight, they reached the water stage, putting them in the top four with Ash, {{an|Misty}}, and [[Dario]]. However, {{TRT}} intervened, provoking a battle, and the two were incapacitated by {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}'s {{m|Glare}}.

In ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', Squirtle tried to stop a fuse from detonating explosives, but failed. This resulted in Ash, Pikachu, and Team Rocket being trapped underground with hostile Prehistoric Pokémon. Only Squirtle was rescued from the rubble by Misty and Brock.

In ''[[EP060|Beach Blank-Out Blastoise]]'', Squirtle was instrumental in helping rescue a colony of Squirtle, {{p|Wartortle}}, and a {{p|Blastoise}} from {{an|Jigglypuff}} and later Team Rocket. It donned its signature black sunglasses and bolstered morale amongst the other Turtle Pokémon.
[[File:Ash Squirtle Nidorino.png|thumb|220px|Squirtle landing the knockout blow in the second round of the Indigo League, with its signature finisher, Skull Bash]]
Squirtle's Gym battle debut came late and its Kanto Gym record was two losses, the first to [[Blaine]]'s {{p|Ninetales}} in ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', who Ash believed would be disadvantaged against Squirtle. Ninetales' {{m|Fire Spin}} completely overpowered Water Gun and took Squirtle down in one hit. In ''[[EP059|Volcanic Panic]]'', it was then sent out to fight the fire to cool off {{TP|Brock|Onix}}, {{TP|Brock|Geodude}}, and Pikachu with water as they dammed the volcano. The second loss was against {{an|Giovanni}}'s {{p|Machamp}}, under the control of [[Jessie]] in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]''. Squirtle took damage from {{p|Machamp}}'s {{m|Karate Chop}}, but the battle was ended when Giovanni's Pokémon defected and Team Rocket was sent blasting off.

Ash used Squirtle during his [[Indigo Plateau Conference]]. In ''[[EP075|Round One - Begin!]]'', Ash relied on Squirtle to battle [[Mandi]], but his powerful {{AP|Kingler}} took the sweep and Squirtle was unnecessary. However, it won Ash's second round by using {{m|Skull Bash}} to defeat a {{p|Nidorino}} in ''[[EP076|Fire and Ice]]'' after it revealed its ability to use {{m|Withdraw}} to absorb the Nidorino's Tackle.

In ''[[EP079|Friend and Foe Alike]]'', Squirtle was sent out to battle [[Ritchie]]'s {{p|Butterfree}}, [[nickname]]d Happy. However, it was easily put to sleep by {{m|Sleep Powder}} and Ash lost the round.

=====Orange Islands=====
Squirtle was used more prominently in the [[Orange Islands|Orange Island]] Gyms, first in competition against [[Cissy]]'s {{p|Seadra}} in ''[[EP085|Fit To Be Tide]]''. Both Pokémon had to shoot cans with Water Gun, but when they hit the final can at the same time, the match resulted in a draw. Though it did not win, Ash still congratulated it on its admirable work.

In ''[[EP093|Naval Maneuvers]]'', it joined Pikachu, Bulbasaur, and Ash in steering an ice sled down the mountain, resulting in a win for Ash.
[[File:Ash Squirtle Hydro Pump Rudy Starmie.png|thumb|left|220px|Learning Hydro Pump to overcome Rudy's Starmie]]
One of Squirtle's most notable battles and its only Gym battle win was in ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]''. Earlier, it helped Pikachu and Bulbasaur destroy the targets during the preliminary trial, before coming out third against [[Rudy]]'s {{p|Starmie}}. Its powerful Water Gun managed to match Squirtle's, and Rudy's music allowed Starmie to dance away from Squirtle's moves and then use {{m|Thunderbolt}} to knock Squirtle into submission. Squirtle then propelled itself away from Thunderbolt, and while using Withdraw, it learned Hydro Pump to become airborne and hit Starmie hard. Closing the battle with Skull Bash, Ash won the battle and his third [[Orange League]] Gym Badge.
[[File:EP106.png|thumb|220px|Squirtle's rivalry with the leader of Team Wartortle]]
In ''[[EP106|The Pokémon Water War]]'', Squirtle attempted to rescue a warehouse on fire, but when the fire spread, it needed rescuing by [[Captain Aidan]] and [[Team Wartortle]]. This shot Squirtle's confidence as a firefighter and Ash pleaded with Aidan to allow Squirtle to train with his team for a short period. Squirtle struck up a rivalry with the lead Wartortle, and it eventually proved itself during the training exercises. Team Rocket later trapped Squirtle and Team Wartortle, but Squirtle's thinking allowed the group to escape: they flooded the cabin to allow mobility, and then tricked {{MTR}} into cutting the nets before blasting Team Rocket away. Squirtle then joined the effort at a burning apartment and halted the fire, saving the day.

In ''[[EP111|Hello, Pummelo!]]'', Squirtle was sent out against {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}}'s Onix, who managed to evade Water Gun with {{m|Dig}} and then caught Squirtle with {{m|Bind}}. However, Squirtle broke free with a Withdraw-Hydro Pump combination, then hit Onix with Skull Bash to knock it out. In [[EP112|the next episode]], it fought {{TP|Drake|Dragonite}}, only for its Hydro Pump to be countered by Dragonite's Water Gun. Squirtle was able to use Withdraw in time to evade most of the following {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but was still badly hurt. Squirtle used Bubble Beam to hit Dragonite dead-on, but this was the only successful attack and it was beaten by a slam from Dragonite's tail. Pikachu went on to defeat the exhausted Dragonite and Squirtle earned a place in the [[Palace of Victory|Orange League Hall of Fame]].

In ''[[EP113|Viva Las Lapras]]'', Squirtle was called out, along with Misty's {{TP|Misty|Goldeen}}, {{TP|Misty|Staryu}}, and {{TP|Misty|Poliwag}}, to help defeat the pirate poachers attempting to capture Lapras's mother and family. It joined the other Pokémon in destroying the pirates' cannons with its Water Gun.

===={{aniseries|GS}}====
[[File:Ash Squirtle Bulbasaur.png|thumb|left|220px|Squirtle saying goodbye to Bulbasaur]]
Squirtle accompanied Ash to [[Johto]] as well; the final time it would serve as a permanent member of his team. In ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'dile]]'', Squirtle was used against Team Rocket with Pikachu, Bulbasaur, and Charizard. Combining its Water Gun with their attacks, it fired directly on Team Rocket's Pokémon. In ''[[EP118|The Double Trouble Header]]'', it was sent out to battle against Team Rocket along with Bulbasaur after they captured Pikachu and [[Casey's Chikorita]].

During its time with Ash, Squirtle and Bulbasaur showed concern for their Trainer on occasions, such as when Ash, Pikachu, and his soon to be caught Chikorita were lost in a snowstorm in ''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue]].''

In ''[[EP127|Once in a Blue Moon]]'', a Quagsire stole the [[GS Ball]] and swam away. Ash tried to run after it but ended up sending out Squirtle to chase it down. After failing to wrestle it out of the Quagsire's mouth, Squirtle used Water Gun, causing the GS Ball to slip out of Quagsire's mouth, and allowing Pikachu to catch it on the shore. While both Quagsire and Squirtle were using Water Gun against each other, Misty tried once again to catch it, but before throwing the Poké Ball, Officer Jenny stopped them and arrested them for violating the Quagsire Preservation Restrictions.
[[File:EP267.png|thumb|220px|Squirtle defeating Macy's Quilava]]
In ''[[EP147|The Fire-ing Squad!]]'', it competed in the annual [[Fire and Rescue Grand Prix]], a firefighting competition. Officer Jenny and the Squirtle Squad planned to compete, but they were confused without their leader. Ash's Squirtle led the Squirtle Squad to win the Grand Prix, and afterwards Squirtle returned to the Squirtle Squad for further training as an elite firefighting team. It said goodbye to his friends, and Bulbasaur extended a {{m|Vine Whip|vine}} to its long-time friend, shaking solemnly.

Squirtle returned briefly to [[EP267|battle in the]] [[Silver Conference]] after {{AP|Kingler}} was badly injured by a group of renegade {{p|Voltorb}}. Squirtle joined {{AP|Totodile}} and {{AP|Phanpy}} against the {{type|Fire}} Trainer [[Macy]]. It was Ash's last Pokémon, faced with an advantaged {{p|Electabuzz}}. However, Squirtle proved much faster and managed to hit Electabuzz with a series of Water Guns before it could launch any {{type|Electric}} moves. A Skull Bash was enough to knock out Electabuzz and even up the match for Ash, leaving just {{p|Quilava}} left. Squirtle used an explosion of moves to cover a stealthy Water Gun, but was hit and knocked on his back by Quilava. As Macy went in for the knockout, Squirtle used Hydro Pump to hit Quilava with water and his own body, sealing the victory for Ash. Squirtle stayed around to watch Ash's Silver Conference battles, and then returned to Officer Jenny and the Squirtle Squad in ''[[EP272|Johto Photo Finish!]]''

====[[Pokémon Chronicles]]====
Squirtle made an appearance, along with the rest of the [[Squirtle Squad]], in ''[[HS07|Of Meowth and Pokémon (Part 2)]]''. It and two other members of the Squirtle Squad ambushed {{DL|Pichu Brothers|Smoochum}} and attacked her with a Water Gun, sending her flying.

===={{aniseries|RS}}====
[[File:Ash Bulbasaur Charizard Squirtle.png|thumb|250px|left|Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Charizard]]
In ''[[AG189|Gathering the Gang of Four!]]'', Squirtle returned to help Ash with his final battle against {{an|Brandon}} at the [[Battle Pyramid]], meeting [[May's Squirtle]] in the process. It expressed happiness in seeing Pikachu and Bulbasaur again and departed with the two, Ash, and Charizard for the woods. Though tension between the group began to erupt, they settled their differences and sat as Ash recalled his meetings with the four of them. After Pikachu was captured by Team Rocket, Squirtle participated in saving its teammate.

In ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]'', Squirtle battled Brandon's {{p|Ninjask}}. Squirtle's {{m|Rapid Spin}} successfully deflected {{m|Aerial Ace}}, but Ninjask gained the upper hand by stalling Squirtle with Double Team and hitting with Aerial Ace. Squirtle managed to escape {{m|Sandstorm}} with Hydro Pump, but became blinded by {{m|Sand Attack}}, leaving it exposed to Ninjask's attacks. While the next Hydro Pump missed, the water was able to clear Squirtle's eyes. Squirtle then swiftly unleashed Skull Bash, knocking Ninjask out of the battle. Squirtle was then matched up against Brandon's {{p|Solrock}}. In this battle, all of Squirtle's moves were dodged or blocked by Solrock's Psychic moves. A missed Rapid Spin saw Squirtle crash into the wall, and it was flattened by {{m|Solar Beam}}, causing it to lose the battle. After Ash defeated Brandon, Squirtle returned to the Squirtle Squad.

===={{aniseries|BW}}====
In ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]'', Ash recalled [[Snow Way Out!|the night]] he was stuck in a snowstorm, and Squirtle, along with the rest of its teammates, helped keep Ash warm.

===={{aniseries|SM}}====
[[File:Ash Kanto Pokémon JN132.png|thumb|250px|Squirtle encouraging Pikachu in a vision]]
Squirtle and some of its fellow Squirtle Squad members reappeared in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'', where they were photographed by {{Rotom}}.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Squirtle appeared as a vision to Pikachu during his battle against [[Leon's Charizard]].

In ''[[JN135|Heroes Unite!]]'', Squirtle appeared in a fantasy while Ash reminisced about the Pokémon he'd caught on his journey.

In ''[[JN141|A Squad's Worth of Passion!]]'', Team Rocket was revealed to have become the Squirtle Squad's managers, using their fame to earn money through firefight shows and merchandise. When Team Rocket prevented Ash from meeting Squirtle, it mistook Ash walking away as him not caring about it and became upset. Ash tried to greet it at a hotel later, but the meeting only resulted in it getting into a fight with Bulbasaur and Charizard. When a warehouse caught fire, Squirtle led the Squirtle Squad to the scene. With Ash joining in to fight the fire, he and Squirtle were able to reconcile and put out the flames. It then turned out that Team Rocket had taken the Squirtle Squad without Officer Jenny's permission, and she took them back under her care, though not before Squirtle shared one more heartfelt hug with Ash.

===Personality and characteristics===
{{bulbanews|Personality & Development: Ash's Squirtle}}
[[File:Ash Squirtle stuck on shell.png|thumb|left|220px|Squirtle stuck on its shell]]
[[File:Squirtle Squad.png|thumb|250px|Squirtle and the Squirtle Squad]]
Squirtle is one of Ash's most trustworthy Pokémon, but it is by no means perfect. Compared especially with its closest friend, the very serious {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, it comes across as immature and mischievous, particularly during its time with the [[Squirtle Squad]], where it led the gang to commit various pranks and other acts, and how it embarrassed itself trying to intimidate a {{p|Snubbull}} in ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]''. However, through Squirtle's travels with Ash, it matured considerably, and his behavior when it reunited with the Squad later on had a noticeable difference. Although very loyal to Ash after the latter saved its life, it was somewhat cynical at times. This was best demonstrated during the events of ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'', where, while searching for their Trainers, Squirtle briefly speculated that their Trainers may have been eaten by the local wildlife.

Mature or not, Squirtle is a born leader and prefers to wear his signature dark sunglasses when faced with tough situations. It donned them while investigating {{an|Jigglypuff}}'s presence on {{OBP|Unnamed island|EP060|an island}} in ''[[EP060|Beach Blank-Out Blastoise]]'', and also when it competed against [[Team Wartortle]] to prove itself, after his firefighting spirit hurt by his inability to put out the fire that Team Wartortle had extinguished. While prideful, Squirtle has proven adaptable in most situations and prefers collaboration over rivalry.

Squirtle's nimble movements and defensive shell make it a tough competitor. After rejoining the Squirtle Squad as their team leader in ''[[EP147|The Fire-ing Squad!]]'', Squirtle's battle skills were overhauled. Its performance during the [[Silver Conference]] revealed that it was able to see through thick smoke. It is also able to overcome getting stuck on its shell by using Hydro Pump.

==In the manga==
===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
[[File:Ash Squirtle EToP.png|thumb|200px|Squirtle in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
{{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}}'s Squirtle first appeared in ''[[ET08|You Gotta Have Friends]]'', though its capture was not shown, and it was merely stated that "Ash has been busy since the last comic". Squirtle was first seen when a lonely Ash decides to play with his other Pokémon while {{AP|Pikachu|Pikachu (EToP)}} was off playing another group of {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Pikachu}}. Squirtle got into a fight with {{AP|Fearow}} while Ash was attacked by his other two Pokémon.

Squirtle was used in the second round of the 88th Pokémon League tournament and helped win the second round. In the fifth round, Squirtle was used to battle [[Ritchie]]'s {{p|Butterfree}}, Happy. The two fought hard but the match ended in a tie when Happy was knocked out and Squirtle was put to sleep.

In ''[[ET14|The Orange Islands]]'', Squirtle was used to drive away a group of wild {{p|Krabby}} that were terrorizing a wild {{AP|Lapras}}.

In ''[[ET16|You Bet Your Wife]]'', Ash decided to use Squirtle in a dance competition in his Gym battle against [[Rudy]]. Squirtle simply retreated into its shell and rolled around to dance. Later, it was used to battle Rudy's {{p|Starmie}} in the third round of their three-on-three battle. Despite Starmie having powerful {{type|Electric}} attacks and the ability to latch onto Squirtle tightly, Squirtle managed to turn the battle around by tossing Starmie off with Hydro Pump and finishing it off with Skull Bash, winning the match for Ash in the process.

In ''[[ET18|Pikachu's Plan]]'', Squirtle took part in Ash's battle against {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}}. It was his third-to-last Pokémon left standing, but was defeated in seconds when Drake sent out his {{TP|Drake|Dragonite}}.

In ''[[ET19|Ash vs. Gary]]'', Squirtle was used to send a Poké Ball flying towards a {{p|Slowpoke}} that Ash and Gary were competing to capture. Squirtle's Hydro Pump proved successful, allowing Ash to capture the Slowpoke first.

==Trivia==
* Squirtle is the first {{type|Water}} Pokémon owned by Ash.
* Squirtle is the only member of Ash's original team of six ({{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Butterfree}}, {{AP|Pidgeot}}, {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Charizard}}, and itself) that has neither [[Evolution|evolved]] nor ever explicitly refused to evolve.
* Squirtle is the first of Ash's Pokémon to have been placed in a [[Poké Ball]] off-screen, the others being [[Mimey|Mr. Mime]] and {{AP|Lapras}}.
* Squirtle's gender was hinted at in the Japanese version of ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]''. In the subtitles, it refers to itself as おれ ''{{wp|Japanese pronouns|ore}}'', which is a pronoun normally used by males, also used by characters such as {{Ash}}, {{an|Brock}}, and [[James]] in the Japanese version.
* Squirtle is the only Pokémon owned by Ash to have used a [[move]] for the first time in a {{pkmn|movie}}.
* Squirtle is Ash's only non-temporary [[first partner Pokémon]] that's never been under the care of a regional {{pkmn|Professor}}.
* The way Ash's Squirtle uses {{m|Hydro Pump}} in the {{pkmn|animated series}} is a [[List of references to popular culture in Pokémon|reference]] to {{wp|Gamera}}'s spinning flight. {{g|UNITE}} and [[Pokkén Tournament DX]] subsequently introduced a similar motion for {{p|Blastoise}}'s {{m|Rapid Spin}}.
* In the Italian redubbing, when {{Ash}} asks Squirtle if he is ready, Squirtle responds with "Squirtle pronto!" ("Squirtle ready!"). Squirtle never said this line in the original dub or in any other dub.

==Blurb==

The party arrives in Celadon City, a perfectly pleasant town full of large department stores, condominiums, and fancy arcades. Brock and Misty are mesmerized, listening to a pretty young girl in a miniskirt, selling perfume. Appalled by the price of the perfume, Ash is kicked out of the department store, and heads for the Pokémon gym alone, but he is denied entrance to the Celadon Gym. The perfume that Ash criticized in the department store is produced in this gym. Brock and Misty enter the gym and befriend those who inhabit it, but Ash must go to some outrageous lengths in order to even set foot in the gym let alone prove himself worthy of battle against its Master.

==Plot==
As {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrive at [[Celadon City]], everyone but Ash notices a wonderful smell in the air, and {{an|Brock}} runs off. Ash finds him with his face against a store window, noticing several girls inside. Ash thinks Brock is wasting time and proceeds to leave, but {{an|Misty}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} are revealed to be inside the perfume store, admiring the variety of aromas. Misty asks about the cost, but Ash steps inside and urges her not to waste her money. The [[Erika|female manager]] confronts Ash, but he pushes it further by arguing that all perfumes are a waste and turn guys into zombies, pointing to Brock. Everyone in the store is against Ash about his remark, even his own friends, and they kick him out. Ash storms away and heads to the [[Celadon Gym]], but when he tries to enter, none of the Trainers are willing to let him in, having learned about his perfume distaste since the perfume originates from the [[Gym]]. The lead Trainer stamps a red cross on Ash's face before kicking him out and closing the doors.

Meanwhile, {{TRT}} sets up a ladder to sneak into the Gym and steal the perfume formula. While exploring the interior forest, [[Jessie]] runs into a {{p|Gloom}}. [[James]] waves at Gloom's face, waking it up. James sends out his {{TP|James|Koffing}} to unleash {{m|Poison Gas}}, but Gloom is unaffected by the attack, breathing it as if it were fresh air. Gloom responds by releasing its stench, the putrid smell instantly knocking out Team Rocket. {{MTR}} is unaffected since he does not have a nose, but the Trainers knock Meowth out with a hammer before planting red cross marks on all three of them, taking them outside and suspending them from a tree branch.

Ash runs into Team Rocket tied up in the tree. James asks Ash to free them, but Jessie refuses at first and taunts Ash for not getting into the Gym. Jessie offers to help Ash get inside the Gym if he releases them. Though reluctant at first, Ash does not want to pass up the opportunity to get the [[Badge]]. They go to the department store and Team Rocket dresses Ash up in a dress and blonde wig. Ash speaks about wanting to get back at the Trainers, but Team Rocket subtly points out that Ash needs to change his voice. Ash coughs and speaks again in a high-pitched voice, setting up his disguise. Jessie and James dress up as Ash's parents and go to the Gym to enroll Ash in the [[Pokémon training]] classes under the name {{DL|Cross-dressing|Ashley}}. Ash notices that the girl registering him into the class is the same one he saw at the store, but the disguise holds and he is successfully admitted. Team Rocket runs off to find the secret perfume formula while Ash unintentionally distracts the Trainers. Meowth, hiding under James's disguise, pulls out a blaster ball, asking what to do with it, and Jessie orders Meowth to plant it.

The Gym Trainers work out with their {{type|Grass}} Pokémon while Erika finishes telling a story to the group. Ash enters the room and finds Misty and Brock in the group. Ash finds out that Erika is not only the Gym Leader, but she is also the store manager from before. Brock steps forward to introduce the seemingly shy Ashley, as Ash notices Pikachu in the group as well. Misty asks Erika why Gloom does not emit its horrible smell. Erika points out that as long as Gloom feels safe, it will not smell. Erika recounts that she first met Gloom, her first Pokémon and motivation to become a Grass-type Gym Leader, when she was a child after she ran into a wild {{p|Grimer}}. Gloom came to her defense and used its stench to send Grimer scurrying. As Erika finishes the story, Misty wishes that Ash could have heard the story. Ash responds in his normal voice, raising suspicion as Misty takes a closer look at Ash. Pikachu gets closer and hugs Ash's leg. He pushes Pikachu away, making him angrily {{m|Thunder Shock|shock}} Ash, destroying the disguise. Ash drops the facade and challenges Erika to a {{pkmn|battle}}. Meanwhile, Team Rocket breaks into the safe holding the perfume.

Erika accepts the challenge and sets up a three-on-three battle. Ash sends out {{AP|Bulbasaur}} while Erika sends out {{p|Tangela}}, which prompts Ash to check his [[Pokédex]]. Bulbasaur attacks with {{m|Vine Whip}}, but Tangela uses {{m|Constrict}} to pull Bulbasaur closer before following up with {{m|Stun Spore}}, {{status|Paralysis|paralyzing}} Bulbasaur. Ash [[recall]]s Bulbasaur and Erika offers to treat it with a [[Paralyze Heal]], but he refuses. He briefly considers using {{AP|Primeape}}, but [[EP025|knowing from experience]] how [[Obedience|unruly]] the {{pkmn|category|Pig Monkey Pokémon}} is, he changes his mind and sends out {{AP|Charmander}} instead. Erika sends out {{p|Weepinbell}} and opens with a {{m|Razor Leaf}} attack. Charmander uses {{m|Flamethrower}} to stop the attack and send it back as fireballs. Charmander follows it up with a {{m|Skull Bash}} to [[fainting|knock out]] Weepinbell. Erika points out Ash's lack of empathy towards his Pokémon as she sends out Gloom. It releases its stench and upon smelling it, Charmander jumps into the air, holding his nose in disgust before fainting. Ash tries to decide on his next Pokémon, but Pikachu steps forward and offers to battle. Ash is not optimistic, but Pikachu is confident that he will win.

Team Rocket interrupts the battle and jumps down onto the battlefield. Meowth detonates a bomb, which is still attached to him, sending Team Rocket blasting off, though they manage to escape with the perfume. The bomb starts a massive fire and the Trainers quickly recall their Pokémon. Everyone gets outside as the fire grows out of control and threatens to destroy the Gym. Everyone tries to put the fire out, but their attempts are not very effective. Ash feels guilty that he allowed Team Rocket inside (and the prior remark about the Gym's perfume that caused the whole mess in the first place), but Misty snaps him out of it. He sends {{AP|Squirtle}} while Misty sends out {{TP|Misty|Staryu}} and {{TP|Misty|Starmie}} to fire {{m|Water Gun}} at the fire. Brock sends {{TP|Brock|Geodude}} to drop dirt on the flames. As they begin to get a hold of the fire, Erika runs around, frantic because she cannot find Gloom. She thinks Gloom is still inside and attempts to run in, but Misty stops her. Ash runs in instead. He finds Gloom scared, but as he approaches, Gloom releases its smell. The ceiling begins to cave in around Gloom. Ash takes a chance and holds his breath as he rushes into the room. He gets up to Gloom, but can no longer hold his breath as he takes a breath. However, he finds no smell, as Gloom knows that it will be safe.

Ash runs out of the burning Gym with Gloom in hand and everyone congratulates Ash for his bravery. The next day, Erika presents the {{Badge|Rainbow}} to Ash because he saved Gloom. Ash points out the lost potion, but Erika reveals that the bottle only held an ingredient of the secret perfume: Gloom's scent. Meanwhile, Team Rocket opens the bottle, the contents knocking them out.

[[File:Ashley.png|thumb|100px|Ash as "Ashley"]]
* [[James]] mentions a real world animal, a skunk, when describing the smell Gloom emitted.
* The {{p|Paras}} line is the only [[Generation I]] {{type|Grass}} evolutionary line that is not represented in this episode.
* With the help of {{TRT}}, Ash [[Cross-dressing|cross-dresses]] to get into [[Celadon Gym]]. This, therefore, marks the first time Ash cross-dresses in the {{pkmn|animated series}}.
* [[Jessie]]'s method of using her legs to persuade [[James]] to go along with her plan may be a reference to a similar technique used by {{wp|Xenia Onatopp}} in the seventeenth James Bond film, ''{{wp|GoldenEye}}''; and a technique Jessie repeats in ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]''.
* In the episode, Meowth mentions that the cartoonists forgot to give him a nose, [[breaking the fourth wall]]. However, this was only in the [[dub]].
* This episode was [[Banned episodes|banned]] in {{pmin|South Korea}} for unknown reasons, likely due to featuring Japanese culture.
* This episode marks the only appearance of [[Ash's Primeape]] between its [[EP025|capture]] and [[EP029|departure]] episodes, although merely in a flashback.
* When the fire in the Gym starts, an unseen character voiced by [[Veronica Taylor]] can be heard saying "We [[gotta catch 'em all!]]".
* Parts of this episode are remade in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]''.
* James's disguise in this episode is a [[List of references to popular culture in Pokémon|reference]] to a character played by {{wp|Cha Katō}}.
* Ash shouting, "Fine! Fine! Fine!" in the Japanese version is a reference to a line from the ending of the series ''{{wp|Matchless Raijin-Oh}}'', a series which was also written by the writer of this episode, Hideki Sonoda.
** Coincidentally, the main character Jin Hyuga from the aforementioned series is voiced by [[Rica Matsumoto]], the voice actress for Ash.
* Shots from this episode were remade and reused in a flashback in ''[[JN094|Suffering the Flings and Arrows!]]''.

===Errors===
* At the beginning of the episode, the orange stripe on {{Ash}}'s [[bag]] is cream-colored.
* When [[Erika]] finishes telling the story about {{p|Omanyte}}, a miniature {{p|Victreebel}} is seen next to {{p|Gloom}} and {{p|Tangela}}, in the respect that it is only slightly taller than the two of them.
* When Erika explains that Gloom does not always have a bad smell, her bow is colored white like her apron instead of red.
* When the battle between Ash and Erika is about to begin, [[Ash's hat]] faces backward. However, when Ash sends out his {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, it faces forward.
* When Jessie opens the bottle of perfume at the end of the episode, Meowth's forepaws are colored orange instead of cream.

===Dub edits===
* [[Kanto Pokérap]]: Day 1 (Version 2)
* Most of the scenes involving the perfume shop had kanji removed from them.
* Erika's explanation towards what perfume was differed between the two versions. The English version resembled a kind of cheer, while the Japanese version mentioned that perfume helps people relax, gives them energy, and gives them a peace of mind.
* In the Japanese version, the women that deny Ash entry to the Gym state that Erika ordered for him to be banned. In the English dub, all direct mentions of Erika banning Ash from the Gym were omitted.
* The Cleopatra reference was dub only.
* The scene setting up the gag involving Meowth's lacking a nose was played out slightly differently between the two versions. In the Japanese version, Meowth was reacting along with everyone else about the smell, but then Jessie mentions "hana" as in "flower", by which point Meowth thinks about his own nose because hana means both "nose" and "flower" in Japanese. He starts panicking until he realizes that he doesn't have a nose. In the English dub, Meowth is complaining about his nose being on fire until Jessie reminds Meowth that he doesn't even have a nose, thus causing Meowth to panic about his nose "being dissolved by the fumes". He soon realizes that the "cartoonists never gave him one". Presumably, this was done due to this being an untranslatable joke.
** On a related note, Meowth's line of the [[breaking the fourth wall|cartoonists never giving him one]] was dub only.
* The department store had some banners removed as well as some kanji.
* The bombs are called "blaster balls" in the dub.
* The line about Erika having to accept challenges as Gym Leaders due to League rules was dub only.

'''Pikachu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ピカチュウ''' ''Pikachu'') is an {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pichu}} when [[friendship Evolution|leveled up with high friendship]] and evolves into {{p|Raichu}} when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]].

In [[Alola]], Pikachu evolves into {{rf|Alolan}} Raichu when exposed to a Thunder Stone.

Pikachu has sixteen alternate [[#Form data|forms]] that fall into four groups: '''[[Cosplay Pikachu]]''', '''[[Pikachu in a cap]]''', the '''{{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|partner}} Pikachu''', and '''Gigantamax Pikachu'''. Ordinary Pikachu can [[Gigantamax]] into Gigantamax Pikachu if it has the {{DL|Gigantamax|Gigantamax Factor}}. Additionally, many other [[Pikachu variants]] have appeared in various media.

Cosplay Pikachu, Pikachu in a cap, the partner Pikachu, and Pikachu with the Gigantamax Factor cannot evolve. The {{OBP|Pikachu|Yellow}} received at the beginning of {{g|Yellow Version}} will refuse to evolve into Raichu unless it is [[trade]]d and evolved on another save file.

Pikachu is popularly known as the mascot of the [[Pokémon]] franchise and one of [[Nintendo]]'s major mascots. It is also the [[game mascot]] and the [[List of the player's first Pokémon|player's first Pokémon]] in [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Pokémon: Yellow Version: Special Pikachu Edition]] and {{LGPE|Let's Go, Pikachu!}}, as well as in {{g|Rumble Blast}} and {{g|Rumble World}}, and has made numerous appearances on the covers of spin-off games.

==Biology==
[[File:HOME0845Go.png|thumb|left|200px|A Pikachu who has been accidentally partially {{a|Gulp Missile|swallowed}} by a {{p|Cramorant}}]]
Pikachu is a short, chubby {{wp|rodent}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It is covered in yellow fur with two horizontal brown stripes on its back. It has a small mouth, long, pointed ears with black tips, and brown eyes. Each cheek is a red circle that contains a pouch for electricity storage. It has short forearms with five fingers on each paw, and its feet each have three toes. At the base of its lightning bolt-shaped tail is a patch of brown fur. A [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|female]] Pikachu has a "V"-shaped notch at the end of its tail, which looks like the top of a heart. It is classified as a quadruped, but it has been known to stand and walk on its hind legs; therefore, Pikachu is a facultative biped.

Pikachu stores electric energy using the small pouches in its cheeks in case it is attacked, so one might feel a small shock if it is touched. These pouches become electrically charged during the night as it sleeps, so a dozy Pikachu may occasionally discharge electricity after waking up. If it does not get enough sleep, it will not be able to release said electricity at its full power. When angered or threatened, Pikachu quickly unleashes the electric energy from its cheeks, which can reach the intensity of a lightning bolt. This also serves as a sign that it's wary, and it will feel stressed if it's unable to fully release the electricity. In ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]'', Pikachu is shown to accumulate energy in its glands, which it will need to eject to avoid complications. When several Pikachu form a group, they are capable of causing thunder storms by building up electricity. If one Pikachu sees another one who is weakened and in need of help, it revitalizes it by recharging it with an electric shock. However, as seen with [[Peakychu]], overusing this ability alters its physical structure, causing it to lose its ability to generate electricity and its fur to become pale. In [[Alola]], a plan was recently announced to help build an electric power plant by gathering many Pikachu. If its cheek sacs are very soft and stretchy, this means that it can generate powerful electricity. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Pikachu is known to emit electricity through its cheeks while sleeping, perhaps because it's dreaming of firing electric shots.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>

Pikachu is a curious, playful, and intelligent Pokémon who primarily eats fruits and roasts {{Berries}} with its electricity to make them tender enough to eat. However, it can end up accidentally burning them too much if it underestimates the intensity of its charge, as it has a tendency to blast new things it finds. In [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], it is also depicted eating and sometimes destroying telephone poles, wires, and other electronic equipment. Pikachu raises its tail to monitor its surroundings and bites [[Human|people]] who yank it, as it does not like having it pulled. While doing this, its tail is sometimes struck by lightning. {{pkmn2|Wild}} Pikachu live in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forested areas}} away from people and with others of its kind in nests, as seen in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]''. Such forests are dangerous, though, as trees there are often struck by lightning. When Pikachu meet, their tails make contact and they exchange electricity through them to greet each other. Relatedly, in ''[[SM091|A Plethora of Pikachu!]]'', it is shown that Pikachu from Alola are known to greet each other by sniffing one another and rubbing their tails together. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, it is considered exceptionally rare, though it seems to be a quite common Pokémon in other forms of media. Many [[Pokémon Trainer]]s prefer Pikachu's cute appearance over {{p|Raichu}}'s, which is why the latter is not commonly seen among them. Because of the popularity of Pikachu-themed merchandise, {{p|Mimikyu}} dresses itself in a Pikachu cloth in an effort to look less scary and make friends and appease its loneliness.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/mimikyu/ Mimikyu | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160917171041/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/mimikyu/ archived])</ref> Unfortunately, its creepy costume only ends up doing the opposite. By occasion, Pikachu can get unintentionally {{a|Gulp Missile|swallowed}} by {{p|Cramorant}}. While startled, it looks for ways to escape from the latter. Pikachu, along with {{p|Pichu}} and Raichu, is related to {{p|Pachirisu}}.

Pikachu and its [[evolution]]ary relatives are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the [[move]] {{m|Volt Tackle}}. It is also the only known Pokémon capable of using the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Catastropika}}, as well as the only one who can use the [[Light Ball]] [[item]].
{{left clear}}

===Forms===
Pikachu has sixteen additional forms that fall into four groups: [[Cosplay Pikachu]], [[Pikachu in a cap]], the {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|partner}} Pikachu, and [[Gigantamax]] Pikachu. Additionally, many other [[Pikachu variants]] have appeared in various media.

====Cosplay Pikachu====
[[Cosplay Pikachu]] is always [[Gender|female]], has a black heart-shaped spot at the end of its tail, and can be dressed in any of five outfits corresponding to the five [[Contest conditions]]: [[Cool]], [[Beautiful]], [[Cute]], [[Clever]], and [[Tough]].

</div>

====Pikachu in a cap====
[[Pikachu in a cap]] is always male and has eight variants, each wearing one of [[Ash Ketchum]]'s {{AP|hat}}s from {{aniseries|PTS}}. This form of Pikachu is somewhat rare and wears the hat of its partner, who is its {{pkmn|Trainer}}. The cap is a bit loose because it is not the right size, but brims with memories of Pikachu and its Trainer's first encounter and is proof that they have traveled through many [[region]]s together.

Pikachu in a cap is the only known Pokémon capable of using the Z-Move {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}}, but cannot use {{m|Catastropika}} or [[Gigantamax]].

====Partner Pikachu====
The {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|partner}} Pikachu is the Pokémon the player starts with in {{LGPE|Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu!}}. It can be either gender and has higher [[base stat]]s than normal Pikachu. The partner Pikachu is not differentiated from standard Pikachu in {{LGPE}}'s [[Pokédex]], and it cannot be [[transfer]]red to other games.

The partner Pikachu is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the moves {{m|Zippy Zap}}, {{m|Floaty Fall}}, and {{m|Splishy Splash}}, as well as the [[Partner Pokémon (Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!)#Exclusive moves|Partner Power]] {{m|Pika Papow}}.

{{-}}

====Gigantamax Pikachu====
As [[Gigantamax]] Pikachu, it becomes larger and chubbier, and its tail becomes longer with three red clouds floating around it.

The Gigantamax phenomenon expands Pikachu's power and forms its massive body and tail. As a result, the might of Gigantamax Pikachu's electricity is equal to that of a power plant; despite this, it is difficult to use to power peoples' homes since it can only remain in this form for a short amount of time. All the electricity it produces in its cheek sacs goes to its tail, enabling it to attack foes in {{pkmn|battle}}s with electric jolts as powerful as lightning strikes.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/gigantamax-pikachu/ Gigantamax Pikachu | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>

Gigantamax Pikachu is the only known Pokémon capable of using the [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Volt Crash}}.

==== Mr. Windychu and Ms. Wavychu ====
[[Mr. Windychu]] and [[Ms. Wavychu]] are characters in [[Pokémon Winds and Waves]].

They resemble tanned Pikachu with clothes similar to the playable character.

===Evolution===
Pikachu [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pichu}} and evolves into {{p|Raichu}}.

In [[Alola]], it evolves into {{rf|Alolan}} Raichu.

[[Cosplay Pikachu]], [[Pikachu in a cap]], {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Partner Pikachu}}, and Pikachu with the {{DL|Gigantamax|Gigantamax Factor}} cannot evolve.

==Game data==
===As the player===
{{main|Pikachu (PokéPark)}}
Pikachu appears as the [[player character]] in both [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]] and its sequel, [[PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond]]. He falls down a mysterious tunnel one day with his friends {{p|Charmander}}, {{p|Chikorita}}, and {{OBP|Piplup|PokéPark}} and ends up in the {{ga|PokéPark}}. There, he goes on a quest to save the PokéPark from certain destruction. He later travels to a new PokéPark, which is being threatened by the ever-expanding [[Wish Park]]. At the new PokéPark, he meets {{p|Snivy}}, {{p|Tepig}}, and {{p|Oshawott}}, and they help to save it from danger.

===NPC appearances===
====In the core series====
* These notable [[Pokémon Trainer]]s all use Pikachu:
** [[Lt. Surge]] uses a Pikachu in {{game5|Red|Green|Blue|FireRed|LeafGreen}}.
** {{ga|Red}}, who makes NPC appearances in [[Generation II]], {{pkmn|HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold, SoulSilver}}, {{B2W2|Black 2, White 2}}, and [[Generation VII]], owns a {{TP|Red|Pikachu}}, typically as his highest [[level]]ed Pokémon. Usually, he represents the {{player}} from the [[Kanto]]-based games, particularly {{game|Yellow}} in which his [[first partner Pokémon]] was a Pikachu. Starting in HeartGold and SoulSilver, Pikachu will always be holding a [[Light Ball]] when applicable.
** [[Wattson]] uses a Pikachu exclusively in his second rematch in {{game|Emerald}}. In subsequent {{pkmn|battle}}s, it has [[Evolution|evolved]] into a {{p|Raichu}}.
** [[Trevor]] uses his Pikachu during the main story of {{g|X and Y}}. In his second battle against the player, it has evolved into a Raichu.
** [[Hau]]'s main partner in {{game4|7}} is a Pikachu who eventually evolves into an {{rf|Alolan}} Raichu. It is first seen as a {{p|Pichu}}.
** {{ga|Trace}}'s main partner in {{LGPE|Pokémon Let's Go, Eevee!}} is a Pikachu which later evolves into a Raichu.
** The player's [[friend]] in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, either {{ga|Rei}} or {{ga|Akari}} (depending on the player's [[gender]]), has a Pikachu. It is seen as their main partner and will often appear outside its {{hi|Poké Ball}}.
** The {{tc|Poké Kid}} {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} is known to use Pikachu. In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, only male Poké Kids will use Pikachu as a parallel to the female Poké Kids, who use {{p|Eevee}}.
**[[Zach]] uses a Pikachu in all of his battles against the player in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.
* [[Ikue Ohtani]], the voice of Pikachu, makes cameo appearances in Pokémon Gold, Silver, HeartGold and SoulSilver (all as [[Picknicker]] Brooke), in X and Y (as [[Breeder]] Mercy), and in all [[Generation VII]] games, where she owns a Pikachu. In {{LGPE}}, Ikue is the [[Master Trainer]] for Pikachu.
* Pikachu has appeared in the overworld in many titles as interactable NPCs.
* Several images of Pikachu show up in {{pkmn2|Totem}} {{p|Mimikyu}}'s chamber, notably [[Ash's Pikachu]] and [[Cosplay Pikachu|Pikachu Pop Star]].

====In the spin-off games====
* [[Pokémon Stadium]]: Pikachu stars in the mini-game "Thundering Dynamo" alongside {{p|Voltorb}}. This mini-game involves charging up electric power.
* [[Hey You, Pikachu!]]: Pikachu stars alongside an unnamed child (who bears a striking resemblance to Red) who was recently taught how to interact with wild {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} by [[Professor Oak]]. The boy and Pikachu form a bond and go on many adventures together, and one day, Pikachu decides to live with the boy.
* {{g|Stadium 2}}: Pikachu can be used in "Pichu's Power Plant" if it is [[transfer]]red from another game.
* {{g|Pinball}}: Pikachu serves as a Ball-Saver, but it will only work if the Lightning Meter is full.
* {{g|Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire}}: Pikachu has the same role as in Pokémon Pinball, but is sometimes helped by Pichu. Pikachu also appears on the Catch 'Em Mode banner.
* {{g|Channel}}: Much like Hey You, Pikachu!, this game focuses on a boy and a Pikachu bonding through social interactions, such as going outside and talking to other Pokémon, and watching TV together.
* [[Pokémon Pokopia]]: A Pikachu named [[Peakychu]] is a supporting character in the game. Due to using up large amounts of her own electricity to aid her friends, she has become abnormally pale and can no longer generate electricity without outside assistance.

===Form data===
Pikachu has sixteen additional forms that fall into four groups: [[Cosplay Pikachu]], [[Pikachu in a cap]], the {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|partner}} Pikachu, and [[Gigantamax]] Pikachu. All forms except the partner Pikachu are recognized by an in-game [[Pokédex]]; partner Pikachu has only been named in promotional materials.<ref>[https://pokemonletsgo.pokemon.com/en-us/story/ Experience the World of Pokémon | Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!]</ref>

====Cosplay Pikachu====
[[Cosplay Pikachu]] is the base form of a group of six interchangeable forms exclusive to {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. It is a [[Gender|female]] Pikachu who has a black, heart-shaped mark at the end of its tail, obtained from a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} after the player takes part in their first {{pkmn|Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectacular}}. Cosplay Pikachu can change forms by dressing up in different costumes corresponding to each of the five [[contest condition]]s ({{OBP|Cool|condition|Coolness}}, {{OBP|Beautiful|condition|Beauty}}, {{OBP|Cute|condition|Cuteness}}, {{OBP|Clever|condition|Cleverness}}, and {{OBP|Tough|condition|Toughness}}); each form also automatically learns a [[move]] that Pikachu otherwise could not learn. Cosplay Pikachu can change or remove its costume at any [[Contest Hall]], forgetting the move it learned with the last costume (if it still knows it) and learning the move from the new costume (if applicable). If Cosplay Pikachu removes its costume while the only move it knows is the move tied to its costume, it learns {{m|Thunder Shock}}.

Unlike other Pikachu, Cosplay Pikachu cannot [[Evolution|evolve]] or {{pkmn|breeding|breed}}. It also cannot be [[trade]]d via the [[Global Trade System|GTS]] or [[Wonder Trade]]. Additionally, as it is not present in any games besides Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Cosplay Pikachu cannot be deposited into {{g|Bank}}, and it does not register as a separate form in Pokémon Bank's [[Pokédex]], despite it registering separately in the Pokédex of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.

====Pikachu in a cap====
[[Pikachu in a cap]] are eight {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive, non-interchangeable forms of Pikachu that debuted in {{g|Sun and Moon}}. Like [[Ash's Pikachu]], these Pikachu are always [[gender|male]], and they cannot [[Evolution|evolve]] or {{pkmn|breeding|breed}}. They are also able to use the event-exclusive [[Z-Crystal]] [[Pikashunium Z]] and its corresponding [[Z-Move]] {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}}. Their [[cry|cries]] differ from that of regular Pikachu. They are not present in {{LGPE}}, {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, or {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

Six variants exist in Pokémon Sun and Moon, one for each of [[Ash's hat]]s from the [[original series]] to {{aniseries|SM}}. A seventh variant debuted in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, wearing the Partner Cap, Ash's hat from ''[[M20|Pokémon the Movie: I Choose You!]]''. An eighth variant debuted in the Version 1.2.0 update of {{g|Sword and Shield}}, wearing the World Cap, Ash's hat from {{aniseries|JN}}.

The original six Pikachu in a cap were distributed via [[serial code]]s in Pokémon Sun and Moon in celebration of the 20th [[Pokémon movie]], and by extension, the 20th anniversary of ''[[Pokémon the Series]]''. Partner Cap Pikachu was distributed in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon via a [[QR Code]] that can be [[QR Scanner|scanned]]. All eight Pikachu in a cap (including World Cap Pikachu) were distributed via serial codes in Pokémon Sword and Shield to commemorate the TV show's [[JN040|timeslot change]] to Fridays in Japan; uniquely, the Pikachu from this distribution can learn {{m|Volt Tackle}} from the [[Move Reminder]].

</div>

====Partner Pikachu====
The {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|partner}} Pikachu has a separate [[List of Pokémon by index number in Generation VII|internal index]] from standard Pikachu. This allows it to have higher [[base stats]] than wild Pikachu.

The partner Pikachu is not differentiated from standard Pikachu in {{LGPE}}'s [[Pokédex]], and it cannot be [[transfer]]red to other games.

[[Gigantamax]] Pikachu can only be obtained through special methods, and the {{DL|Gigantamax|Gigantamax Factor}} cannot be inherited through {{pkmn|breeding}}.

The {{OBP|Pikachu|Yellow}} received at the beginning of {{game|Yellow}} will refuse to evolve into {{p|Raichu}} unless it is [[trade]]d and evolved on another save file.

===Main series===
====Major appearances====
=====[[Ash's Pikachu]]=====

==In the TCG==
[[File:PikachuBaseSet58.jpg|200px|thumb|Pikachu in the TCG]]
[[File:GBML Bronze Pikachu Coin.png|thumb|100px|left|Pikachu TCG Coin]]
{{main|Pikachu (TCG)}}
Pikachu manages to find its way into many of the expansions, causing there to be {{#expr: {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Pikachu (TCG)}} - 1}} known non-reprint {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} cards featuring it. There are also various {{pkmn|Trainer}} cards with Pikachu in the card's artwork too, including the very sought-after tournament promos such as {{OBP|No.1 Trainer|Tournament promo}}.

The first Pikachu that appeared in the TCG was {{TCG ID|Base Set|Pikachu|58}} in the {{TCG|Base Set}} (which was reprinted in {{TCG|Base Set 2}} and in {{TCG|POP Series 2}} with different artwork). It was followed in {{TCG|Jungle|the next set}} by another {{TCG ID|Jungle|Pikachu|60}} (which was also reprinted in the {{TCG|Legendary Collection}}). The third Pikachu card released was the first-ever English {{TCG|Wizards Black Star Promos|promo card}}, {{TCG ID|Wizards Promo|Pikachu|1}}. The original Base Set Pikachu was also released as a special promotional card at {{wp|E3}}.

In the early days of the TCG, several notable errors were made regarding the Pikachu cards. The Base Set Pikachu was released with altered artwork at first, depicting it with red cheeks, instead of the original yellow. While this matched [[Ken Sugimori]]'s artwork, the yellow color on its cheeks was intentional by the artist, who depicted Pikachu using {{m|ThunderShock}}. This error appeared in both the E3 promotional version and the normal Base Set release. A second error was made in the production of Jungle set booster packs, which, instead of the Jungle set's Pikachu, sometimes contained first edition versions of the Pikachu that was released as a promo card.

Pikachu has also been featured on a number of TCG {{TCG|coin}}s, with one being included with the English and European languages-only {{tcg|Base Set 2}}. This coin was also featured in the {{g|Play It!}} PC game. A Pikachu coin is also featured in the [[Game Boy]] game {{vg|Pokémon Trading Card Game}}, and is one of the coins that can be obtained in {{g|Trading Card Game 2: The Invasion of Team GR!}}, where it is given by {{TCG GB|Isaac}} to winners of the [[Lightning Club]].

==In the TFG==
Two Pikachu figures have been released.

==={{OBP|Detective Pikachu|video game}}===
Detective Pikachu stars a {{OBP|Detective Pikachu|character|Pikachu}} that is [[Talking Pokémon|capable of speaking the human language]], but only the player character, [[Tim Goodman]], is capable of hearing him. Much like {{MTR}} from ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', he is incapable of using [[move]]s that most Pikachu are capable of using. This Pikachu also really loves to drink coffee. Early on in the game, a regular Pikachu also briefly appears.

==Trivia==
* Pikachu and its evolved form both share their {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Rattata}}, {{p|Raticate}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, {{p|Sandslash}}, {{p|Pawmi}}, and {{p|Pawmo}}. They are all known as the Mouse {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, though Rattata and Raticate were originally called the Rat Pokémon prior to [[Generation III]].
* [[Veronica Taylor]] has said Pikachu is her favorite {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. [[Sarah Natochenny]] has as well, shared with {{p|Mew}}.
* In [[Generation VIII]] onwards, Pikachu is capable of learning {{m|Surf}} via [[TM]], when it was previously only obtainable through special means.
* Pikachu is the only Pokémon that serves as the [[List of the player's first Pokémon|player's first Pokémon]] in the [[core series]] games that has a pre-evolved form. However, {{p|Pichu}} (its pre-evolved form) does not exist in either game in which it fills this role.
* Pikachu has the most {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive [[move]]s available to it.
* Pikachu is the only Pokémon with two exclusive [[Z-Move]]s.
* Pikachu and {{p|Eevee}} are the only non-fully evolved Pokémon with exclusive Z-Moves.
* The Pikachu family is the only evolutionary family to have access to [[Mega Evolution]], exclusive Z-Moves, and [[Gigantamax]].
* When starting a [[new game]] in {{game|Yellow}}, Pikachu's front sprite appears with a slightly different [[List of color palettes by index number in Generation I|color palette]] (the palette index number 0x10) than usual when it is introduced by [[Professor Oak]]. This is the same red/yellow palette used for {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Mewtwo}}, and {{p|Jynx}} (except the [[Virtual Console]] Jynx), as well as the {{pkmn|battle}} sprites of all [[Pokémon Trainer]]s.
** Due to the color palette used at the start of Pokémon Yellow, Pikachu has red cheeks (in the [[Game Boy Color]]) or pink cheeks (in the [[Super Game Boy]]). However, in this game's normal gameplay, Pikachu has dark orange cheeks instead.
* In {{game|Yellow}} and from [[Generation VI]] to {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, Pikachu uses its {{pkmn|animated series}} [[cry]] ([[Voice acting in the Pokémon games|voiced]] by [[Ikue Otani]]). Before Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, it was the only Pokémon to do so in the core series games.
** In {{game|Yellow}}, only the [[First partner Pokémon|first partner]] Pikachu uses the animated series cry (technically, this applies to all Pikachu [[Original Trainer|originally received or caught]] by the player, but catching additional Pikachu is impossible without cheating) with [[Outsider Pokémon|outsider]] or NPC Pikachu using their original cries. In other games however all specimens of the species use the animated series cry.
** Its battle cry differs from status or [[Pokédex]] screens.
** The {{OBP|Pikachu|Yellow}} received at the beginning of {{game|Yellow}} has unique [[Voice acting in the Pokémon games|voice clips]] in [[Pokémon Stadium]] and {{pkmn|Stadium 2}}.
** From {{g|Legends: Arceus}} onward, Pikachu's cry switched to a slightly modified version of its pre-Gen VI cry.
* Pikachu is the only core series first partner Pokémon that does not have a 7:1 gender ratio.
* {{game4|BWB2W2}} are the only core series games in which Pikachu cannot be obtained without transporting or through an event.
* Pikachu is the only not fully evolved Pokémon whose [[base stats]] increased in Generation VI, as well as the only Pokémon to receive more than one stat increase: Defense and Special Defense.
* Pikachu is the 25th Pokémon in both the [[National Pokédex]] and [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number in Pokémon Sun and Moon|Alola Pokédex]] in {{g|Sun and Moon}}.
* In the Japanese {{jpn|Pokémon Stadium}}, Pikachu is the only usable Pokémon that is not fully [[Evolution|evolved]].
* Pikachu is the only Pokémon that can be caught in all three pinball titles: {{g|Pinball}}, {{g|Pinball mini}}, and {{g|Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire}}.
* According to ''[[A Sneak Peek at Pokémon]]'', Pikachu can deliver a constant current of 1000 {{wp|ampere}}s.
* Pikachu is currently represented in the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}} by more cards than any other Pokémon, with {{#expr: {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Pikachu (TCG)}} - 1}} unique cards.

===Merchandise===
[[File:Pikachu Red Battle Chess.png|thumb|Pikachu in Pokémon Battle Chess]]
* Pikachu appears in {{DL|Pokémon Battle Chess|Pokémon Battle Chess}}. It doesn't behave like any traditional piece in chess but behaves like a gold general in shogi.
* Pikachu was the focus of a {{OBP|Pokémon Center|store}} [[Sleeping Pikachu Collection|collection]] in June 2014.

===Real life===
* The {{wp|Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade}} has included three Pikachu balloons. "Flying Pikachu" was the first, flown from 2001 to 2005, and was used in a morning rush hour test of wind conditions in {{wp|Times Square}} after an accident involving an {{wp|M&M's}} balloon in the 2005 parade.<ref>[http://www.nytimes.com/2006/05/23/nyregion/23balloon.html?_r=0 Pikachu Soars as Trial Balloon for a Safer Macy's Parade | New York Times]</ref> It was last used in the August 2006 {{pkmn|10th Anniversary|Party of the Decade}} in New York City's {{wp|Bryant Park}}. The second balloon debuted in the 2006 parade, features glowing cheeks, and chases a {{i|Poké Ball}} balloon. The third, introduced in the 2014 parade, wears a green scarf and holds a small, Pikachu-shaped snowman.

===Cultural impact===
[[File:Niue Dollar Pikachu.jpg|thumb|200px|$1 coin from {{wp|Niue}} featuring Pikachu]]
* The nation of {{wp|Niue}} released a one-dollar coin with its coat of arms on one side and Pikachu on the other to promote the [[Pokémon]] franchise.
* Pikachu has served as [[List of references to Pokémon in science|the inspiration for the naming]] of several scientific discoveries:
** In 2008, Japanese researchers discovered a new protein that helps carry electrical impulses from the eyes to the brain and named it {{wp|pikachurin}}.

===Concept and development===
Pikachu was designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]], a core designer at [[Game Freak]].<ref>[http://www.natsume.com/news/news_pdffiles/pid_129_HSBigNames0806.pdf THE TALENT BEHIND HOMETOWN STORY | Natsume]</ref><ref name=Pokemon.com /> Pikachu had a short, stout design during the initial release of {{g|Red and Green}}, but its design was altered for ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' and subsequent entries of the games, becoming slightly taller and skinnier. According to [[Ken Sugimori]], Pikachu's design was altered to make animating its actions easier.<ref name=Pokemon.com /> Pikachu is depicted with a white belly similar to its evolved form, {{p|Raichu}}, in the [[Bandai Pokémon Carddass Cards]], {{file|Bandai Pikachu card.jpg|as seen here}}.

Pikachu also originally had a second-stage [[Evolution]] named [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs#Gorochu|Gorochu]] (Japanese: '''ゴロチュウ''' ''Gorochū''), which would have had two horns and fangs.<ref>[https://www.yomiuri.co.jp/fukayomi/20180501-OYT8T50139/3/ ピカチュウは大福？　初めて明かされる誕生秘話 (Is Pikachu Daifuku?

[[Gigantamax]] Pikachu was designed by [[James Turner]].<ref>https://twitter.com/JamesTurner_42/status/1559091292889497602</ref>

===Origin===
Pikachu was originally a {{wp|daifuku}}-like creature with ears sticking out. Its black ear tips are remnants of this original concept.<ref name=Pokemon.com /><ref name=SiliconEra/>

Nishida named Pikachu "without giving it much thought", and while it wasn't originally intended to be based on a {{wp|mouse}}, [[Game Freak]] CEO [[Satoshi Tajiri]] made the decision to base it on such. During the process of making Pikachu "cuter", as per the instructions of game designer [[Kōji Nishino]], Nishida added cheek pouches for it to store electricity in. These were inspired by {{wp|squirrel}}s, which store food in their cheeks. Pikachu's yellow coloration and lightning bolt-shaped tail were given to express Pikachu's electrical attributes and make its type easier to recognise and understand. According to Nishida, Pikachu's stripes aren't based on anything in particular, and were added to fill the empty space on Pikachu's back, as it is always visible during battle.<ref name=Pokemon.com /><ref name=SiliconEra />

Pikachu's [[Gigantamax]] form is a reference to its earlier, more rotund design from [[Generation I]] and {{gen|II}}.<ref name=Chunkachu>https://twitter.com/JamesTurner_42/status/1559317105798811648.</ref>

====Name origin====
Pikachu is a combination of ピカピカ ''pikapika'' ({{wp|onomatopoeia}} for sparkle) and チューチュー ''chūchū'' (the sound of a mouse squeaking).<ref name=Pokemon.com /><ref>[http://edition.cnn.com/ASIANOW/time/magazine/99/1122/pokemon6.fullinterview2.html The Ultimate Game Freak | Time]</ref>

'''Arbok''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アーボック''' ''Arbok'') is a {{type|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Ekans}} starting at [[level]] 22.

==Biology==
[[File:Arbok internal anatomy Adventures.png|thumb|left|250px|Internal anatomy of Arbok, as seen in ''[[PS014|That Awful Arbok!]]'']]
Arbok is a serpentine {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a {{wp|cobra}}. It has narrow eyes and several sharp teeth. Just below its head is a large hood with a face-like pattern. This pattern has over 20 possible variations. The pattern typically has two red and yellow eyespots outlined in black, a wide black streak resembling an upturned mouth, and a black V-shaped stripe above the eyespots.

Arbok is capable of crushing opponents by coiling its body around them and squeezing them tightly. It can even flatten steel oil drums. If it encounters an enemy, it raises its head, mimics, and stuns the opponent using the frightening pattern on its body. It can also make eerie sounds by expelling air from its mouth. [[Pokémon Adventures|It has been stated]] that if any part of Arbok's body except for the head is cut off, it can regrow the rest of its body again in a few weeks. It also can detect vibrations as shown in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP128|The Whistle Stop]]''. The ''Pokémon the Series'' episode ''[[EP061|The Misty Mermaid]]'' shows that Arbok can spend long periods underwater and survive in aquatic environments. {{DL|Agatha|Pokémon Adventures|One particular Arbok}} could change its pattern at any time to increase power to different stats and get invulnerability to [[status condition]]s, if the pattern is uncovered.

Arbok is territorial. It lashes out at intruders with long fangs tipped with deadly venom. Vengeful in nature, it will not give up a chase once it targets its prey or an opponent, no matter how far. It makes its home in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grassy savannas and plains}}, but it can also be found in forests and desolate wastelands alongside its pre-evolved form {{p|Ekans}}. In the wild, it hunts smaller Pokémon such as {{p|Wooper}}, and also preys on {{p|Pidgey}} and {{p|Spearow}} Eggs. When hunting, it uses the pattern on its hood to immobilize prey, then constricts them, and finally poisons the target to finish them off and eat them. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Arbok is known to display its belly while sleeping. It is theorized that Arbok does this to scare other Pokémon away by showcasing its fearsome markings.

Before [[Generation II]], Arbok and its pre-evolved form, Ekans, were the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Glare}}.

===Evolution===
Arbok evolves from {{p|Ekans}}.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]].)

==Trivia==
* In ''{{OBP|Pokémon Activity Book|1999}}'' (page 4), Arbok is referred to as the opposite of "aren't-bok".

===Design variations===
{{main|Arbok variants}}
[[File:Game Boy music CD.png|thumb|200px|Arbok with a face pattern, as seen in the [[Game Boy: Entire Pokémon Sounds Collection CD]]]]
The face-like pattern on Arbok's chest differs between games. Its appearance in [[Generation I]], {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, and from [[Generation IV]] onward differs from the variants shown in [[Generation II]] and in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. This supports Pokédex text which notes differences between Arbok in different areas; however, its markings in [[Johto]]- and [[Hoenn]]-based remakes differ from those in the original games set in those regions.

Other media have featured additional variations. In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Arbok can change their own patterns, as done by [[Agatha]]'s Arbok. The {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Dark Arbok|2}} card from the {{Trading Card Game}} depicts another pattern.

===Origin===
Arbok seems to be based on the {{wp|Indian cobra}} due to its {{wp|venom|venomous}} bite and hood markings. It may also be based on the {{wp|king cobra}}, which is the world's largest venomous snake. Its powerful {{wp|constriction}} is reminiscent of {{wp|boidae|boa}}s, {{wp|anaconda}}s, and {{wp|pythonidae|python}}s. Its frightening face-like belly patterns may be inspired by {{wp|mask}}s or {{wp|Body painting#Face painting|face paint}}. The fact that it is in the {{egg3|Dragon}} and its ability to learn {{m|Glare}} may be a reference to the legendary {{wp|basilisk}}, a venomous, serpentine dragon said to be able to kill people with its stare.

====Name origin====
Arbok is ''{{wp|cobra}}'' spelled backwards, but with the ''c'' replaced with a ''k''.<ref>[[The Official Pokémon Handbook]], p. 36</ref>

'''Ekans''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アーボ''' ''Arbo'') is a {{type|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Arbok}} starting at [[level]] 22.

==Biology==
Ekans is a purple, {{wp|snake|serpentine}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Its eyes, underbelly, the thick stripe around its neck, and the rattle are yellow. Ekans have three pairs of black lines encircling their body, and another line connects to each slit-pupil eye and curves toward its nose. Its large mouth has a round, pink tongue and no visible teeth. While painful, a newborn Ekans's bite is not venomous. This Pokémon grows longer with age.

Ekans live in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grassy savannas and plains}}, moving stealthily through the grass. It can also be found in forests and desolate wastelands, where it preys on Eggs from {{p|Pidgey}} and {{p|Spearow}} nests but will strike other prey from behind. By flicking its tongue out, it can detect danger and the scent of prey. Its jaw can detach to swallow large prey, but such a meal can make Ekans too heavy to move or become stuck and cause them to faint. It wraps itself around tree branches at night to rest. If not in a tree, it will coil itself up—a position in which it can defend itself from all directions. In [[M02|the second movie]], it is revealed to possess some swimming abilities. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Ekans are known to sleep with their bodies all coiled up. It is believed that Ekans do this to terrify foes, no matter which direction the foe is.

Before [[Generation II]], Ekans and its evolved form, {{p|Arbok}}, were the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Glare}}.

===Evolution===
Ekans evolves into {{p|Arbok}}.

===Main series===
[[File:Vermilion Forest Ekans.png|thumb|250px|Ekans in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Jessie's Ekans]]=====
[[Jessie]] received an Ekans as a {{wp|chūgen}} gift (a [[birthday]] gift in the dub) prior to the start of the series. It debuted in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', which also marked the species' debut. It was extremely loyal to her and eventually evolved into an {{p|Arbok}} in ''[[EP031|Dig Those Diglett!]]'' just to make her happy.

=====[[Team Meanies]]=====
Ekans was part of Team Meanies in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters Out of the Gate!]]''. {{p|Gengar}} commanded the Poisonous Snake Pokémon to eat all of the {{Berries}} Team Go-Getters had collected. At one point, Ekans was incorrectly referred to as Arbok by Gengar. While this was an intentional error that Ekans rebuked in the original version (due to the similarities between the Japanese names), this came across as a general mistake in the dub and was corrected in reruns of the episode.

=====Other=====
In ''[[AG006|A Poached Ego!]]'', multiple Ekans were captured by [[Rico]]. Jessie released her Arbok along with [[James's Weezing]] so they could protect these Ekans and a group of captured {{p|Koffing}}.

In ''[[SM065|Turning Heads and Training Hard!]]'', a {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}}'s Ekans was quickly defeated by [[Ilima]] and his {{p|Eevee}}. In ''[[SM129|Battle Royal 151!]]'', it competed in the [[Manalo Conference]], only to be defeated by Ilima's Eevee again.

==Trivia==
[[File:023Ekans RB.png|thumb|200px|[[Ken Sugimori]] artwork of Ekans from {{game|Red and Blue|s}}]]
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Ekans was originally known as "Arbo", its romanized Japanese name.
* In early official art of Ekans, all of the bands on its body were colored yellow instead of just the one on its "neck". This was changed in later art.
* An Ekans was originally going to be featured in {{g|Snap}}, as shown in an early test shot of an environment that was never featured in the final product. This is also true of its Evolution, Arbok.{{fact}}
* Ekans is one of fourteen {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that one can collect [[foreign Pokédex entries]] for in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* Ekans has never received a [[Pokédex entry]] in the {{pkmn|animated series}}, despite debuting in [[EP002|the second episode]] of {{aniseries|OS}}. Thus, it is the Pokémon with the most episodes aired after its debut without it getting a Pokédex entry.

===Origin===
Ekans seems to be based on various {{wp|snake}}s. Its {{wp|venom|venomous}} bite and tail {{wp|rattlesnake#Anatomy|rattle}} are similar to a {{wp|rattlesnake}}, while its lack of visible teeth and diet of eggs are similar to an {{wp|dasypeltis|egg-eating snake}}. The single yellow stripe around its neck is reminiscent of the {{wp|ring-necked snake}}, and the line connecting its eyes is reminiscent of the marking on the back of the {{wp|Indian cobra}}'s hood. The fact that it is in the {{egg3|Dragon}} and its ability to learn {{m|Glare}} may be a reference to the legendary {{wp|basilisk}}, a venomous, serpentine dragon said to be able to kill people with its stare.

====Name origin====
Ekans is ''snake'' spelled backwards.<ref>[[The Official Pokémon Handbook]], p. 36</ref><ref>(February 27, 2016). "[https://web.archive.org/web/20220928180754/https://www.inside-games.jp/article/2016/02/27/96339_2.html ポケモンが現実世界と仮想世界を繋いでいく、20年目の挑戦・・・株式会社ポケモン代表取締役社長・石原恒和氏インタビュー]" ''inside-games.jp''.</ref>

The Japanese name Arbo (アーボ) may be derived from ''{{wp|cobra}}'', or ''{{wp|Boidae|boa}}'' (ボア) spelled backwards.

'''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 {{wp|bird|avian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} 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 snatch food 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}}.

===Evolution===
Fearow evolves from {{p|Spearow}}.

==Trivia==
* As of [[Generation VII]], Fearow is the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a base stat total of 442.

===Origin===
Fearow seems to be based on various predatory birds, particularly {{wp|vulture}}s and {{wp|condor}}s due to its long neck, sharp beak, shaggy feathers, broad wings, and soaring flight. The {{wp|comb (anatomy)|comb}} on its head is similar to a {{wp|rooster|rooster}}'s comb or a {{wp|mohawk hairstyle}}. Its long neck and beak are also reminiscent of various water birds such as {{wp|cormorant}}s, {{wp|darter}}s, {{wp|stork}}s, and {{wp|heron}}s, particularly the {{wp|Goliath heron}}. Its Pokédex entries describe multiple hunting methods, either divebombing prey like {{wp|falcon}}s and {{wp|hawk}}s or probing through soil and water like {{wp|sandpiper}}s and {{wp|snipe}}s.

====Name origin====
Fearow may be a combination of ''fear'' (referring to its intimidating appearance) and ''{{wp|old world sparrow|sparrow}}''. It may also involve ''feather'' and ''arrow'' (referring to its sharp beak).

Onidrill may be a combination of 鬼 ''{{wp|oni}}'' (demon), 鳥 ''tori'' (bird), and ドリル ''doriru'' (drill).

'''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 {{wp|bird|avian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} 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. In the [[EP001|first episode]] of ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', Spearow is revealed to see 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. {{p|Ekans}} is a natural predator of Spearow. Spearow preys on {{p|Sunkern}}.

===Evolution===
Spearow evolves into {{p|Fearow}}.

[[File:Spearow anime.png|thumb|250px|Spearow in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
====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 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!]]''. They also reappeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', which was set in a timeline different to that of the main series.

=====Other=====
In ''[[EP084|The Lost Lapras]]'', [[Three punks|a Trainer]] ordered a Spearow to attack a {{AP|Lapras}}. When Ash and Pikachu came to Lapras's defense, Spearow battled Pikachu, only for it and its {{pkmn|Trainer}} to flee after {{Tracey}} appeared, sketched them, and began comparing them in terms of how they were trained. According to Tracey, Spearow was vitamin-deficient.

In ''[[JN018|Destination: Coronation!]]'', [[Goh]] chased a {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Spearow}} while on his way to the [[Vermilion Gym]] and caught it off-screen. It has since made further appearances in {{aniseries|JN}}.

==In the TFG==
One Spearow figure has been released.

* {{TFG|Next Quest}}: {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Spearow|35}}

==Trivia==
* Spearow shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Pidgey}}, {{p|Natu}}, and {{p|Rookidee}}. They are all known as the Tiny Bird Pokémon, though Natu has also been called a Little Bird Pokémon.
* Spearow is tied with {{p|Hoothoot}}, {{p|Ledyba}}, {{p|Taillow}}, {{p|Wingull}}, {{p|Starly}}, and {{p|Pikipek}} for the lowest base {{stat|Defense}} of all {{type|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

===Origin===
Spearow seems to be based on a {{wp|old world sparrow|sparrow}} with characteristics of a {{wp|shrike}} such as its hooked beak. Shrikes are territorial and are sometimes called "butcher birds" due to their brutal feeding habits, which may be the basis for Spearow's aggressive nature.

====Name origin====
Spearow may be a combination of ''spear'' (referring to its sharp beak) and ''{{wp|old world sparrow|sparrow}}''.

Onisuzume may be a combination of 鬼 ''oni'' (ogre) and 雀 ''suzume'' (sparrow).

'''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 dual-type {{2t|Dark|Normal}} [[regional form]]: '''{{rf|Alolan}} Raticate'''. It evolves from {{rf|Alolan}} Rattata when [[level]]ed up at [[Time-based Evolution|night]] starting at level 20.

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]] for these details.)

==Biology==
Raticate is a large, {{wp|rodent}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Although it is often depicted on its hind legs, it is a quadruped. It is primarily 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, . It has short arms with three-fingered hands and webbed feet with three toes. Its tail is long and scaly. [[Gender|Females]] have [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|shorter whiskers]].

Raticate uses its whiskers to maintain balance, so it slows down if they're cut off. It does not like having its whiskers touched, so it will bite [[Human|people]] who do regardless of how friendly they are, and may even bite off someone's hand if provoked enough. Its feet's webbing act as flippers, allowing it to swim in rivers and even oceans to [[Predation|hunt]] for {{pkmn|food}}. If attacked, Raticate stands up on its hind legs, bares its fangs, and shrieks to intimidate its enemy. Like {{p|Rattata}}, its teeth are strong enough to gnaw through steel and constantly grow, so it often needs to gnaw on something, like rocks and logs, to pare them down. It may even chew on the walls of houses, and is capable of chewing through cinderblocks and toppling concrete buildings. It typically lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|plains and savannas}}. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Raticate is known to sleep with a log in its teeth, gnawing at it in the process. Even asleep, it grinds its teeth to trim them, but it may end up sometimes gnawing on trees if this isn't sufficient.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>

Prior to [[Generation IV]], Raticate and {{p|Rattata}} were the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the [[move]]s {{m|Hyper Fang}} and {{m|Super Fang}}.

===Forms===
Raticate has a [[regional form]]: {{rf|Alolan}} Raticate.

In the [[Alola]] [[region]], Raticate has mostly black fur 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.

Raticate and Rattata are not native to Alola, having been brought to the region via cargo ships. Their populations grew drastically until {{p|Yungoos}} and {{p|Gumshoos}} were imported as a control measure.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/alolan-rattata/ Alolan Rattata | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160908104319/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/alolan-rattata/ archived])</ref><ref>''[[SM009|To Top a Totem!]]''</ref> It is also said that Raticate swam to Alola to escape its enemies. Alolan Raticate is heavier and darker than its [[Kanto]]nian counterpart due to its urban environment and higher calorie diet. Its prefered kind of food is fresh fruits and high-class ingredients, so restaurants earn a good reputation by making use of its taste buds and having it try different dishes and select the right ingredients while shopping. It uses its nest as a food stockpile, and generally prefers to have the Alolan Rattata it commands to go out and forage for food while it remains in its nest and eats.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/alolan-raticate/ Alolan Raticate | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20170227055454/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/alolan-raticate/ archived])</ref> Each Alolan Raticate has its own territory, and disputes between them over food and feeding grounds happen frequently. It and Alolan Rattata are Gumshoos' favorite prey, but as they are active at different times of they day, they rarely encounter each other.

A special Alolan Raticate in [[Alola]] acts as the [[Totem Pokémon]] for [[Ilima]]'s {{DL|Island challenge|trial}} in [[Verdant Cavern]]. This Raticate possesses [[Z-Power]], an energy that originates from [[Ultra Wormhole]]s and takes the form of a golden, flaring aura. The reward for defeating Totem Raticate and completing the trial is a [[Normalium Z]] (in {{aniseries|SM}}, it is a [[Darkinium Z]] instead).

===Evolution===
Raticate [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Rattata}}.

{{rf|Alolan}} Raticate evolves from Alolan Rattata.

==In the TFG==

* {{TFG|Groundbreakers}}: {{TFG ID|Groundbreakers|Raticate|27}}

==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 {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that shares its [[National Pokédex]] number with the [[level]] at which it [[Evolution|evolves]] from its pre-evolved form, although this is likely a coincidence.
* Raticate and {{p|Rattata}} both share their {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Raichu}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, {{p|Sandslash}}, {{p|Pawmi}}, and {{p|Pawmo}}. They are all known as the Mouse Pokémon, though {{p|Rattata}} and Raticate were originally called the Rat Pokémon prior to [[Generation III]].
* Of all the [[Totem Pokémon]] that can be {{pkmn|battle}}d in [[Alola]], Totem Raticate is one of the only two Totem Pokémon that is battled in only one {{pkmn|games|game}} out of the two versions — in this case, {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Moon}} and {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Moon}}. The other is Totem {{p|Gumshoos}}.
** During the cutscene before Totem Raticate's battle, it uses {{p|Gumshoos}}'s [[cry]] instead of its own.
* {{rf|Alolan}} Raticate and Alolan Rattata are the only [[regional form]]s that cannot be [[transfer]]red out of {{g|HOME}} into any [[Generation VIII]] or {{gen|IX}} game.

===Design variations===
{{main|Pokémon controversies#Four-fingered hands|Pokémon controversies → Four-fingered hands}}
In its [[#Sprites|sprites]] and artwork for {{game|Red and Green|s}} and {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, Raticate originally had four fingers on its front paws instead of three.

===Origin===
Raticate appears to be based on a {{wp|rat}}, with inspiration from several other types of rodents. Its webbed feet are a trait of semi-aquatic rodents such as a {{wp|muskrat}} or a {{wp|coypu}}, its prominent and exposed incisors may be inspired by {{wp|blesmol}}s, and its scruffy ears are similar to a {{wp|guinea pig}}.

Alolan Raticate appears to be based on the {{wp|black rat}}, {{wp|brown rat}}, or {{wp|Polynesian rat}}, all of which are {{wp|invasive species}} in {{wp|Hawaii}}. Their attacks on sugar cane fields caused the locals to import the {{wp|small Indian mongoose}} into Hawaii as a form of pest control, explaining the relationship between {{p|Yungoos}}/{{p|Gumshoos}} and Rattata/Raticate. Its gluttonous behavior, ability to command groups of Rattata to steal, and hostile relationship with the detective-inspired Gumshoos are reminiscent of a stereotypical {{wp|crime boss}}. It has {{wp|cheek pouches}} similar to {{wp|chipmunks}} and {{wp|hamsters}}.

====Name origin====
Raticate may be a combination of ''{{wp|rat}}'' and ''eradicate'' (to destroy or exterminate) or ''masticate'' (to chew).

Ratta may be derived from ラット ''ratto'' (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 dual-type {{2t|Dark|Normal}} [[regional form]]: '''{{rf|Alolan}} Rattata'''. It evolves into Alolan Raticate when [[level]]ed up at [[Time-based Evolution|night]] starting at level 20.

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]] for these details.)

Rattata is the player's [[List of the player's first Pokémon#Pokémon Rumble series|first]] [[Toy Pokémon]] in [[Pokémon Rumble]] and [[Pokémon Rumble Rush]].

==Biology==
[[File:Rattata OS concept art.png|thumb|200px|left|Concept art of Rattata for the [[original series]]]]
Rattata is a small, quadrupedal {{wp|rodent}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has purple fur with a cream-colored face, paws, and underbelly. It has narrow eyes containing white sclera and pupil with red irises, 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. [[Gender|Female]] Rattata have [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|shorter whiskers]].

Rattata is a fidgety Pokémon who can live wherever it can find {{pkmn|food}}, which it searches for most of the day. Its long and sharp fangs, which can chew on nearly anything, continuously grow throughout its lifetime and leave it unable to eat if they become too long, so it nibbles on hard objects to whittle them down and avoid starving to death. If its {{pkmn|Trainer}} doesn't give it something to gnaw on, it will end up chewing on door frames and table legs among other objects. When it is threatened, Rattata can deliver a powerful bite. It is very cautious, so it constantly keeps its ears up, even while asleep, and will immediately scurry away from the slightest sound. {{p|Furret}} is the natural predator of Rattata. Although it mainly lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|plains and savannas}}, its hardiness lets it live in many environments, including dirty ones, where it forms its nest. When it finds a place where food is available, it settles down and produces offspring. Because it reproduces so quickly, a pair of Rattata can quickly colonize an area, making it a common sight. Seeing one indicates that over 40 of them are around. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Rattata is known to sleep sometimes with a log in its mouth. It will wake itself up with the sound of its teeth grinding if it does not take good care of them.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>

Prior to [[Generation IV]], Rattata and {{p|Raticate}} were the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the [[move]]s {{m|Hyper Fang}} and {{m|Super Fang}}.

===Forms===
[[File:Alolan Rattata SM concept art.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Concept art of Alolan Rattata for {{g|Sun and Moon}}, shown standing on its hind legs and grouping near Alolan Raticate]]
Rattata has a [[regional form]]: {{rf|Alolan}} Rattata.

In the [[Alola]] [[region]], Rattata 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 also replaced by shorter, thicker tufts of fur. The line where its cream underbelly meets its gray fur is ragged instead of smooth. Unlike its [[Kanto]]nian form, it often stands on its hind legs, giving it a more bipedal appearance.

Rattata and Raticate are non-native to Alola and came to the region in cargo ships. The Rattata population in Alola was booming until {{p|Yungoos}} and {{p|Gumshoos}} were 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 Alolan {{p|Raticate}}. These adaptations and territorial disputes eventually led to it acquiring its new appearance. Alolan Rattata searches for fresh food and ignores anything spoiled.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/alolan-rattata/ Alolan Rattata | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160908104319/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/alolan-rattata/ archived])</ref><ref>''[[SM009|To Top a Totem!]]''</ref> Its whiskers provide it with a keen sense of smell, allowing it to find hidden food instantly. [[Human]]s are known to use it when they go shopping for fresh food. Alolan Rattata becomes active when the sun sets and looks for food to give to its boss. It has even been known to sneak into people's homes by gnawing through doors with their incisors. There has been a massive outbreak of Rattata in Alola due to this behavior, making them an issue of public concern. It and Alolan Raticate are Gumshoos' preferred prey, but they hardly ever encounter each other due to their opposing circadian rhythms.

==Trivia==
* 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 [[F.E.A.R.]] strategy.
* Rattata and its [[Evolution|evolved]] form both share their {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Raichu}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, {{p|Sandslash}}, {{p|Pawmi}}, and {{p|Pawmo}}. They are all known as the Mouse {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, though Rattata and {{p|Raticate}} were originally called the Rat Pokémon prior to [[Generation III]].
* Rattata has gained notoriety among the [[Pokémon]] fanbase due to {{tc|Youngster}} [[Joey]]'s claims that his Rattata is the best among its species.
* Rattata has the lowest base {{stat|HP}} of all {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.
** {{rf|Alolan}} Rattata has the lowest base HP and {{stat|Special Attack}} of all {{type|Dark}} Pokémon.
* Alolan Rattata ties with {{p|Morpeko}} for the [[List of Pokémon by height|shortest]] Dark-type Pokémon.
* Alolan Rattata may be considered a counterpart of {{p|Yungoos}}. They can be {{pkmn2|caught}} at certain [[time]]s of the day (Yungoos at day, Alolan Rattata at night). They also evolve into {{p|Gumshoos}} and Alolan Raticate, respectively, at [[level]] 20 at their [[Time-based Evolution|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}}).
* Alolan Rattata and Raticate are the only [[regional form]]s that cannot be transferred out of {{g|HOME}} into any [[Generation VIII]] or [[Generation IX]] game.
* Together with {{p|Magikarp}}, {{p|Seedot}}, {{p|Ninjask}}, {{p|Pichu}}, and {{p|Goldeen}}, Rattata is the easiest Pokémon to catch in {{vg|Pokémon Ranger}}, with only one loop necessary.

===Origin===
Rattata appears to be based on a {{wp|rat}} or a {{wp|mouse}}. It may draw visual inspiration from hairy-tailed {{wp|Pack rat|packrats}}.

Alolan Rattata appears to be based on the {{wp|black rat}}, {{wp|brown rat}}, or {{wp|Polynesian rat}}, all of which are {{wp|invasive species}} in {{wp|Hawaii}}. Their attacks on sugar cane fields caused the locals to import the {{wp|small Indian mongoose}} into Hawaii as a form of pest control, hence the relationship between {{p|Yungoos}}/{{p|Gumshoos}} and Rattata/Raticate. Its thieving behavior and tendency to work in groups under the command of a Raticate are reminiscent of a {{wp|gangster}}. The shape of its whiskers resembles the knot of a ''hokkamuri'' — a cloth wrapped around the head and tied under the nose as a form of disguise, typically worn by thieves in Japanese media for comedic effect.

====Name origin====
Rattata may be a combination of ''rat'' and ''attack'', as indicated by its [[Pokémon Red and Green beta#Localization-specific information|pre-release name]]. It may also incorporate ''rat-a-tat'' (a tapping sound).

Koratta may be a combination of 子 ''ko'' (child) or 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}}.

Pidgeot can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Pidgeot''' using the [[Pidgeotite]]. Mega Pidgeot was introduced in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.

==Biology==
Pidgeot is an {{wp|bird|avian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} 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 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, with three forward-facing toes and one backward-facing toe on each foot. Behind each eye is an angular black marking.

Pidgeot's powerful wings can stir up windstorms in just a few flaps, and it may spread its wings to intimidate enemies. It is capable of flying faster than the speed of sound. Pidgeot's plumage is often described as beautiful, making it a popular choice for skilled {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. It typically dwells in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|temperate forests}} with thick growth and large trees. It is known to prey on {{p|Magikarp}}, which it can spot from great heights.

In [[Generation III]], {{m|Feather Dance}} was Pidgeot's [[signature move]], but other Pokémon could still inherit it via {{pkmn|breeding}}.

===Forms===
Pidgeot can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Pidgeot.

Pidgeot grows noticeably when it [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolves]], developing a larger body and longer, broader wings. Its wingtips and tail feathers are tipped with cyan, and its cream coloring is now white. Its eyes turn magenta and its pupils turn white. The reason is due to Mega Evolution causing the minerals to be absorbed into the wings, resulting in the coloration of its wings. Mega Pidgeot has an even more elaborate crest on its head, with a streamer-like magenta plume extending from a mane of yellow feathers. A magenta feather projects from the front of its crest, with a single magenta highlight on the left side.

As a result of Mega Evolution, Mega Pidgeot's body is much stronger, along with its wings. The crest is sensitive to air currents, acting like a large antenna and stabilizing Mega Pidgeot's flight.<ref name= "Mega">[http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/new-mega-evolutions/mega-pidgeot Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160323174011/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/new-mega-evolutions/mega-pidgeot archived])</ref> Thanks to its tough and well-developed wings, Mega Pidgeot can whip out gusts of wind that are powerful enough to smash through large trees. Additionally, its increased wing power allows it to fly for two weeks without rest.

==Trivia==
* When rematching [[Gym Leader]]s in {{g|HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions}}, 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 Evolution|Mega]] Pidgeot is [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|the only Pokémon]] with a base [[stat]] total of 579.
* Mega Pidgeot is the only Mega Evolved Pokémon where its lowest stat ({{stat|Special Attack}}, although it is tied with {{stat|Special Defense}}) in its base form becomes its highest stat.

===Design variations===
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 early in-game [[#Sprites|sprites]]. Additionally, Pidgeot are often depicted with brown tail feathers in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]''.

===Origin===
Despite its name, Pidgeot does not resemble a {{wp|pigeon}} so much as a {{wp|bird of prey}} such as an {{wp|osprey}} or an {{wp|Aquila (genus)|eagle}} due to its large size and predatory behavior. Its {{Shiny}} colors in particular resemble a {{wp|golden eagle}}. It also shares some characteristics with various {{wp|passerine}} birds such as {{wp|Old World sparrow|sparrow}}s, {{wp|chickadee}}s, {{wp|waxwing}}s, and {{wp|wren}}s. Its colorful {{wp|crest (feathers)|crest}} is somewhat similar to the crests of {{wp|cockatoo}}s. The black markings around its eyes are reminiscent of {{wp|Ra}} and {{wp|Horus}}, the sun and sky gods of {{wp|Egyptian mythology}} who were depicted with the heads of {{wp|falcon}}s.

Mega Pidgeot's crest seems to be inspired by {{wp|punk fashion|punk hairstyles}}.

====Name origin====
Pidgeot and Pigeot may be a combination of ''{{wp|Columbidae|pigeon}}'' and ''{{wp|jet aircraft|jet}}'' (referring to its speedy flight).
