RedGyarados: /* Trivia */

[[File:MainSeriesStarters.png|thumb|320px|Artwork featuring the starter Pokémon up to Generation IV]]
At the beginning of their quest, {{pkmn|Trainer}}s are given a '''starter Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''はじめてのポケモン''' ''Beginning Pokémon'' or '''さいしょのポケモン''' ''first Pokémon''; known as '''{{tt|'御三家|ごさんけ}}''' ''the big three'' among Japanese fans). This Pokémon will be used to {{pkmn|battle}} the first [[wild Pokémon]] that the Trainer encounters. Once another Pokémon is caught, the starter may be retired, but it is often with this Pokémon that Trainers learn friendship and trust. As such, even advanced Trainers may still use their starters, and it will often be the most powerful Pokémon on his or her team.

==In the games==
In the main {{pkmn|games}}, each starter Pokémon is at [[level]] 5, armed with one damage-dealing [[move]] and another that affects [[stat]]s. Trainers can choose between a {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Water}}, or {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon ([[Pokémon Yellow Version|with one exception]]). The Trainer that will be designated as the player's [[rival]] will always choose or have the Pokémon of the starter trio that has a type advantage over the one the player chooses, though it may not be the case that they remain the true rival.

The following is a list of starters by region:

===Normal starters===
====Main series====
=====[[Kanto]]=====
In {{game5|Red|Green|Blue|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, [[Professor Oak]] will bring Trainers to his lab to give them one of the following to begin their journey:

| colspan="2" style="background:#{{fire color}}" | [[Fire (type)|{{color|FFF|Fire}}]]
| colspan="2" style="background:#{{water color}}" | [[Water (type)|{{color|FFF|Water}}]]
|- align="center" style="background: #{{kanto color light}}"
| {{MSP|003|Venusaur}}
| {{pcolor|Venusaur|{{kanto color dark}}}}
| {{MSP|006|Charizard}}
| {{pcolor|Charizard|{{kanto color dark}}}}
| {{MSP|009|Blastoise}}
| {{pcolor|Blastoise|{{kanto color dark}}}}
|- align="center"
| style="background:#{{grass color}}; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 5px;" | {{t|Grass|{{color|FFF|Grass}}}}
| style="background:#{{poison color}}" | [[Poison (type)|{{color|FFF|Poison}}]]
| style="background:#{{fire color}}" | [[Fire (type)|{{color|FFF|Fire}}]]
| style="background:#{{flying color}}" | [[Flying (type)|{{color|FFF|Flying}}]]
| colspan="2" style="background:#{{water color}}; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 5px;" | [[Water (type)|{{color|FFF|Water}}]]
|}

The player's {{ga|Blue|rival}} will then pick the type-advantageous starter, and the remaining Pokémon will sit in its [[Poké Ball]] on Oak's desk for the rest of the game.

Professor Oak offers one of this trio of Pokémon to the player in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} after the player has defeated {{ga|Red}}, making reference to the fact that he gives them out as starters in Kanto-based games, suggesting the player will be able to make it to [[Viridian City|the next town]] with one of these Pokémon by his or her side.

In {{game|Yellow}}, Oak instead gives out:

{| align="center" style="background: #{{kanto color dark}}; font-size:85%; -moz-border-radius: 10px; border: 5px solid #{{kanto color}}"
|-
! style="width:80px; background: #{{kanto color light}}; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 5px; -moz-border-radius-topright: 5px;" | [[File:025.png]] '''{{color2|{{kanto color dark}}|Red's Pikachu (game)|Pikachu}}'''
|-
| align="center" colspan="2" style="background:#{{electric color}}; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 5px; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 5px;" | [[Electric (type)|{{color|FFF|Electric}}]]
|}

This {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} is the same one that attacked the player when they ventured onto {{rt|1|Kanto}} that Oak caught, which will be the only choice the player gets. Another notable change here involves the player's rival receiving an {{p|Eevee}} from Oak, which will evolve into one of its three [[Generation I]] evolutions, depending on the outcome of the battles between the player and the rival.

It should be noted that during the adventure, the player will be able to get the original three Kanto starters through special events not present in the earlier games. It remains to be the only main series game to allow the player to obtain all three starter Pokémon from a previous game legitimately, without trading. The Pikachu received from Oak will also refuse to evolve into {{p|Raichu}} by use of a {{evostone|Thunderstone}} unless it is traded away to do so.

=====[[Johto]]=====
In {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, [[Professor Elm]] will have an errand for the player to run, and will give them one of the following for protection on this errand, which they will then keep after completion:

{| align="center" style="background: #{{johto color dark}}; font-size:85%; -moz-border-radius: 10px; border: 5px solid #{{johto color}}"

|}

After the player meets with [[Mr. Pokémon]] and receives a [[Pokédex]] from [[Professor Oak]], Professor Elm will call the player to tell them that {{ga|Silver|a thief}} has taken a Pokémon. As the player returns to [[New Bark Town]], he or she will encounter the thief, who will have the stolen Pokémon with the type advantage over the player's own. From this point onward, the thief will be the player's rival, while Professor Elm keeps the Pokémon that was left behind by the thief on his desk for the remainder of the game (in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the last Pokémon mysteriously disappears at some point).

In Generation II, the Pokémon will be holding a {{DL|Berries (Generation II)|Berry}} when received from Elm, though the rival's stolen starter will not.

In {{game|Emerald}}, after the player has caught all Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]] with the exception of {{p|Jirachi}} and {{p|Deoxys}}, [[Professor Birch]] will offer one of these Pokémon as a reward.

=====[[Hoenn]]=====
In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, after [[Professor Birch]] is rescued from a {{p|Poochyena}}{{sup|RS}} or {{p|Zigzagoon}}{{sup|E}}, he allows the player to keep the Pokémon they chose to rescue him with, either:

|}

The player's neighbor, {{ga|Brendan}} or {{ga|May}}, already has his or her starter, which is always the one with the type advantage. [[Wally]] starts with {{p|Ralts}}; he seeks [[Norman]]'s and the player's assistance in catching his first Pokémon. By the end of the game, it seems that the player's nominal rival, the son/daughter of Professor Birch, has stopped being a Trainer, and Wally is actually the true rival, facing the player before he or she can leave {{ho|Victory Road}} and staying there to rebattle the player later.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, [[Steven Stone]] offers one of these Pokémon to the player after he or she has defeated {{ga|Red}}.

=====[[Sinnoh]]=====
In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, when two {{p|Starly}} attack the player and rival at [[Lake Verity]], to which they travel upon hearing reports of a [[Shiny Pokémon|red]] {{p|Gyarados}}, they will choose one of the following from [[Professor Rowan]]'s briefcase, which he left at the lake:

|}

The player's friend and rival {{ga|Barry}} will choose the starter that has a type advantage against the player's choice, and the [[non-player character|NPC]] who is the other-gender choice ({{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}}) will have the Pokémon weak to the player's choice. After fighting off the two Starly at the lake and returning the briefcase to Rowan, the professor will allow the player and {{ga|Barry}} to keep the Pokémon they used. Compared to previous games, NPC Trainers use their own starter Pokémon more than before, with notable figures such as the [[Gym Leader]] [[Gardenia]] and [[Elite Four]] member {{EF|Flint}} using them, as do several other Trainers.

In {{game|Platinum}}, the player and the rival are stopped by Professor Rowan just as they are about to run through tall grass to get to Sandgem Town to ask the Professor for Pokémon. After some questions about the player and the rival's love for Pokémon, he decides to entrust them with one starter Pokémon each.

=====[[Unova]]=====
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, [[Professor Araragi]] leaves a gift with the player's [[mom|mother]] in [[Kanoko Town]] to give to him or her, containing the following three Pokémon:

{| class="roundy" align="center" style="background: #{{Unova color dark}}; text-align: center; font-size:85%; border: 5px solid #{{Unova color}}"

|}

The player's friend [[Cheren]] will choose the Pokémon that is strong against the player's choice, while the player's other friend [[Bel]] will choose the one weak to the player's choice. The choice of starter Pokémon affects which of the [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Sanyou City]] will be battled; players who chose Snivy will face [[Pod]], a {{type2|Fire}} specialist, players who chose Tepig will face [[Corn]], a {{type2|Water}} specialist, and players who chose Oshawott will face [[Dent]], a {{type2|Grass}} specialist. Also, the choice affects the Pokémon given to the player in the [[Site of Dreams]]. Choosing Snivy gives the player a {{p|Hiyappu}}, Tepig a {{p|Yanappu}} and Oshawott a {{p|Baoppu}}.

====Side series====
=====[[Orre]]=====
In {{g|Colosseum}}:

{| align="center" style="background: #{{colo color dark}}; text-align: center; font-size:85%; -moz-border-radius: 10px; border: 5px solid #{{colo color}}"
|-

|}

A first for the Pokémon games, these starter Pokémon come as a pair as to represent the double-battle system, and are also different in that they are in the player's possession right at start of play. Umbreon is at level 26, knowing the [[TM]] moves {{m|Taunt}} and {{m|Snatch}}, as well as {{m|Bite}} which is otherwise only available through {{pkmn|breeding}} at such a level. Espeon is at level 25, knowing the TM moves {{m|Return}} and {{m|Reflect}}. Both are always male.

In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]:

|}

This starter Pokémon is also in the player's possession right at the beginning. It is at level 10, knowing Bite which is again unique for this level. At an early point in the game, the player is offered one of five evolutionary items, {{evostone|Water Stone}}, {{evostone|Thunderstone}}, {{evostone|Fire Stone}}, {{evostone|Moon Shard}} and {{evostone|Sun Shard}}, to make the Eevee evolve into any of its [[Generation III|(then)]] [[Eeveelution|evolutions]].

In Pokémon XD, if the player completes the [[Mt. Battle]] challenge and beats all 100 trainers without quitting or switching Pokémon, [[Battlus]] will give him/her one of the Johto starters.

Upon their tenth birthday, youths can register for a [[Pokédex]] and pick up a starter Pokémon from the local [[Pokémon professor]] or [[Pokémon Center]] free of charge. Starters are usually raised specifically to be easy to train.

Like in the games, the specific starter Pokémon available vary from region to region, but are the same in each region as the games. That is, Kanto Trainers can only choose Bulbasaur, Charmander or Squirtle, Johto Trainers can only choose Chikorita, Cyndaquil, or Totodile, and so on.

In ''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]'', it was shown where starter Pokémon come from. Each region has special breeding grounds for starter Pokémon. The [[Pokémon League]] sends these breeders the Pokémon eggs for them to hatch at secret breeding grounds. The breeders then hatch, care for, and raise the young Pokémon until they are ready to be proper starters for new Trainers. As these young ones are virtually defenseless, the locations of breeding grounds (or even the knowledge of their existence) is a secret unknown to most in the [[Pokémon world]]. This is likely to guard against unscrupulous individuals or groups (such as [[Team Rocket]]) from poaching the young Pokémon.

Other rookie Trainers may receive their first Pokémon from a friend or relative instead; this means that Trainers can, in fact, start with any Pokémon, provided that their first Pokémon is received from someone that is not sanctioned by the Pokémon League.

===List of starter Pokémon in the anime===
* {{Ash}} received a {{AP|Pikachu}} from [[Professor Oak]].
* {{an|Brock}} received an {{p|Onix}} from {{ka|Flint|his father}} that now belongs to his brother, [[Forrest]], with whom it evolved into a {{TP|Brock|Steelix}}.
* {{Gary}} received a {{p|Squirtle}} from Professor Oak that [[evolution|evolved]] into a {{TP|Gary|Blastoise}}.
* [[James]]'s first Pokémon is his pet {{p|Growlithe}} named [[Growlie]]. However, he left it at home when he ran away.
* {{an|Casey}} received a {{p|Chikorita}} from [[Professor Elm]] that evolved into a {{TP|Casey|Meganium}}.
* {{Jo|Jimmy}} received a {{p|Cyndaquil}} from Professor Elm that evolved into a {{TP|Jimmy|Typhlosion}}.
* {{Jo|Marina}} received a {{p|Totodile}} from Professor Elm that evolved into a [[Wani-Wani|Feraligatr]].
* [[Vincent]] received a Chikorita from Professor Elm that evolved into a {{TP|Vincent|Meganium}}.
* {{Jo|Harrison}} received a {{p|Torchic}} from [[Professor Birch]] that evolved into a {{TP|Harrison|Blaziken}}.
* {{an|May}} received a Torchic from [[Professor Birch]] that evolved into a {{TP|May|Blaziken}}.
* {{Ho|Tommy}}'s first Pokémon was a {{p|Mudkip}}, that he evolved into a {{p|Marshtomp}}. He lost it on the [[Abandoned Ship]], where it evolved again into {{p|Swampert}}. They were later reunited.
* {{Ho|Stephanie}} (''[[AG034|Having a Wailord of a Time]]'') received a {{p|Mudkip}} from Nurse Joy at the [[Slateport City]] [[Pokémon Center]].
**[[Stephanie's father]] received a {{p|Treecko}} at the same time.
* [[Xander]]'s (''[[AG142|Caterpie's Big Dilemna]]'') Caterpie was implied to be his starter Pokémon in the episode, as he mentioned that his Caterpie was his first Pokémon, albeit it was "not caught".
* {{Ka|Gilbert}} (''[[SS014|Journey to the Starting Line]]'') received a {{p|Bulbasaur}} from Professor Oak.
* {{an|Dawn}} received a {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} from [[Professor Rowan]].
* [[Yuzo]] said that he started his Pokémon journey with a {{p|Starly}}.
* [[Paul]]'s starter Pokémon was a {{p|Turtwig}}, now a {{TP|Paul|Torterra}}.
* {{Si|Kenny}}'s first Pokémon was a {{p|Piplup}} that evolved into an {{TP|Kenny|Empoleon}}.
* [[Tyler]] (''[[DP080|Thief That Keeps on Thieving!]]'') received a {{p|Piplup}} named ''Pippy'' from an unknown location in East [[Sinnoh]].
* [[Zoey]]'s first Pokémon was a {{TP|Zoey|Glameow}} that she raised after it was abandoned. It is her signature Pokémon.
* [[Max]] intends to begin his journey with the {{p|Ralts}} that he met in ''[[AG109|Do I Hear a Ralts?]]''.
* {{an|Lyra}} received a {{p|Chikorita}} from [[Professor Elm]].
* [[Khoury]] received a {{p|Totodile}} from [[Professor Elm]].
* [[Shooti]] received a {{TP|Shooti|Snivy}} from [[Professor Araragi]] in [[BW001]].
* {{an|Iris}}'s first Pokémon was a {{TP|Iris|Kibago}} that was given to her by a [[Old woman (Unova)|respected old woman]] in her hometown.

Several characters have also captured Pokémon in the wild that are, in the games, only available as starter Pokémon.
* Ash Ketchum captured a {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, a {{AP|Charmander}}, and a {{AP|Squirtle}} in quick succession in the [[Kanto]] region. Of the three, only Charmander evolved, becoming a {{p|Charmeleon}}, and later a {{AP|Charizard}}, both of which were ''very'' disobedient to Ash until [[EP105|an incident]] in the [[Orange Archipelago]], after which it served Ash as it had when it was a Charmander. Bulbasaur was also going to evolve, but decided itself against becoming an {{p|Ivysaur}} in ''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]''.
* Ash also captured the three [[Johto]] region starters, {{p|Chikorita}}, {{AP|Cyndaquil}} and {{AP|Totodile}}, of which Cyndaquil and Chikorita evolved, into {{AP|Quilava}} and {{AP|Bayleef}}, respectively.
* Ash captured as well a {{AP|Treecko}} in [[Hoenn]], while Brock captured a {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}}. Treecko evolved twice, becoming {{AP|Sceptile}} before Ash left it at [[Professor Oak]]'s lab, while Brock's Mudkip evolved into {{TP|Brock|Marshtomp}}. Along with May's {{TP|May|Torchic}}, the traveling trio had the three starters of Hoenn.
* {{an|May}} captured a {{p|Bulbasaur}} midway through her journey in Hoenn, and was given a {{TP|May|Squirtle}} by Professor Oak when she journeyed to Kanto. Bulbasaur evolved all the way into {{TP|May|Venusaur}} during May's travels through Johto. Squirtle also evolved into {{TP|May|Wartortle}} during May's travels through Johto.
* In [[Sinnoh]], Ash repeated himself by capturing {{AP|Turtwig}}, which has since evolved into a {{AP|Torterra}}. His rival, [[Paul]] owned a Chimchar that was confirmed to be caught in the wild. It was released, recaught by Ash, and is now an {{AP|Infernape}}.
* Dawn hatched a {{TP|Dawn|Cyndaquil}} during her journey in Sinnoh.
* Ash reused his pattern from the [[original series]] of capturing all starters in [[Unova]], {{AP|Oshawott}}, {{AP|Tepig}} and {{AP|Snivy}}. However this time around he caught them in reverse of the Pokédex order rather than following it as he did in the original series.
* Gary Oak had an {{TP|Gary|Eevee}} at least since Ash was traveling in the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]]. As it was revealed to be under his ownership before his Blastoise, it caused many to hearken back to {{game|Yellow}}, where the player starts with {{p|Pikachu}}, like Ash, and the rival starts with Eevee. Either way, it was disproven that this was the case when Gary finally revealed his Blastoise to Ash. His Eevee eventually evolved into {{TP|Gary|Umbreon}}.

==In the manga==
===In Pokémon Adventures===
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], the Starter Pokémon featured in the games are reserved for the few people who hold a Pokédex. [[Professor Oak]] produces three Pokédex for each region, and gives out the three starter Pokémon in each region along with the Pokédex to Trainers he thinks are talented. He has colleagues and friends like Professor Birch do this for him in regions in which he isn't present.

Most characters in the manga do not start out with one of the Pokédex-related starter Pokémon. Instead, they usually have a Pokémon they were given by their parents when they were infants that they use as their starter Pokémon. Occasionally, it is not directly stated which Pokémon were their starter Pokémon in the manga, but in profiles of their teams, their starter Pokémon is marked with a star and is among the highest level in the party, even if they acquired more than one Pokémon at first.

====List of starter Pokémon in Pokémon Adventures====
* {{adv|Red}}'s starter was his [[Poli|Poliwag]]. Later, Professor Oak gave him a [[Saur|Bulbasaur]], which became a {{p|Venusaur}} in his travels.
* {{adv|Blue}}'s starter was his [[Blue's Scizor|Scyther]]. His grandfather later gave him a {{TP|Blue|Charmander}}, which evolved twice into a {{p|Charizard}} before Red's had.
* {{adv|Green}}'s starter was her [[Green's Wigglytuff|Jigglypuff]]. She stole a [[Blasty|Squirtle]] from Professor Oak and later obtained the third Pokédex after breaking down in tears in front of Professor Oak, who then recognized her a true Pokédex Holder and forgave her theft. By the time this happened, it had already evolved to a {{p|Blastoise}}.
* {{adv|Yellow}}'s starter a [[Ratty|Rattata]] that Red caught for her. Later, she borrowed Red's [[Pika|Pikachu]], and after Red took him back, caught a [[Chuchu|female Pikachu]] for herself. She originally borrowed Red's Pokédex for her journey to find and save Red, which she received permanently in the end of the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}} after the three Pallet Town trainers received National Pokédexes (and the other two copies of the original Pokédex were destroyed dangerously close to the data transfer's finish). Like the Pikachu in {{v2|Yellow}}, neither evolved.
* {{adv|Gold}}'s starter was his [[Aibo|Aipom]] that his mother gave him. Professor Elm allows him to keep a [[Exbo|Cyndaquil]], which becomes a {{p|Typhlosion}} alongside the other two starters.
* {{adv|Silver}}'s starter was the Sneasel that Giovanni gave him as a child. He later stole a {{TP|Silver|Totodile}} from Professor Elm, as well as the first Pokédex of [[Johto]]. His starter evolved twice into a {{p|Feraligatr}}.
* {{adv|Crystal}}'s starter is officially her Smoochum, although she acquired many wild Pokémon that lived as a family while she was in the wild. [[Megaree|Chikorita]] later ran away from Professor Elm to go with her, and became a {{p|Meganium}} midway into their journey.
* {{adv|Ruby}}'s starter was his [[Nana|Poochyena]] that he received from his father, though he also received his Skitty and Ralts at the same time. Later, he got Professor Birch's [[Zuzu|Mudkip]]. It evolved into a {{p|Swampert}} from the concussive battles it underwent. He was never formally given the Pokédex, it ended up in his hands, and he was allowed to keep it.
* {{adv|Sapphire}}'s first Pokémon was the Aron her father gave her. Later, he gave her a [[Toro|Torchic]] along with her Pokédex, which evolved twice under her care into {{p|Blaziken}}.
* [[Wally]]'s first Pokémon was a Kecleon that Ruby helped him capture. However, he also borrowed Ruby's Ralts and rescued the Treecko intended for Emerald, but they ended up returned to their rightful owners, and the third Pokédex was returned to Birch, which was then finally given to Emerald.
* {{adv|Emerald}}'s first battle Pokémon was the {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}} he rescued from the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}, which was supposed to be his in the first place. It evolved from its {{p|Grovyle}} stage in the wild, after evolving once in Wally's care.
* {{adv|Diamond}}'s first was his Munchlax, and later he received a [[Wig|Turtwig]] from Professor Rowan because of a misunderstanding. It has since evolved to {{p|Torterra}} alongside the others.
* {{adv|Pearl}}'s first was his [[Chahiko|Chatot]], and later he received a [[Chimhiko|Chimchar]] from Professor Rowan with Diamond. The Chimchar has since evolved twice into an {{p|Infernape}}.
* {{adv|Platinum}}'s first Pokémon was her [[Platinum's Rapidash|Ponyta]], and later she received a [[Platinum's Empoleon|Piplup]] from Professor Rowan. It has since become an {{p|Empoleon}} under her care.
* {{adv|Black}} started with a {{p|Wargle}} and a {{p|Munna}}, though it isn't clear which was his first.

==Trivia==
* For [[DP001]], [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about the starter Pokémon of Sinnoh. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about them: シンオウで　たびがはじまる　ポケモンと ''Shin'ō de tabi ga hajimaru Pokémon to.'' "In [[Sinnoh]], a journey begins with Pokémon."
* For [[BW003]], [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about the starter Pokémon of Unova. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about them: パートナー　みず・くさ・ほのお　まよっちゃう ''Pātonā, mizu kusa honō, mayocchau.'' "Partner, {{t|Water}}, {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Fire}}, I can't decide."
* All starters in the [[main series]] besides Pikachu have a 7:1 ratio of males to females.
** Due to this, as well as the way in which gender and shininess were determined, it was ''impossible'' to have a shiny female starter Pokémon in [[Generation II]], as the lowest Attack [[IV]] a [[shiny Pokémon]] could have was 2, while the highest Attack IV a female Pokémon in that gender group could have was 1.
* Each of the {{type2|Grass}} starters is based on a reptilian creature, with Bulbasaur and Chikorita being based on {{wp|dicynodont|prehistoric}} {{wp|sauropod|reptiles}}, Treecko on {{wp|gecko}}s, Turtwig on {{wp|turtle}}s, and Snivy on a lizard/snake.
* When [[gender differences]] were introduced in [[Generation IV]], none of the {{type2|Water}} starters received gender differences. Also, the Sinnoh region's starters were the only set not to have any gender differences, despite being introduced in the same generation as that feature.
* The Hoenn starters all evolve for the first time at level 16, then again at level 36. The Unova starters all evolve for the first time at level 17, and then again at level 36. Other trios have differences among the three in either one or both evolutionary levels.
**The Unova starters are also the only Region's starters at which all 3 evolve into their second stage at an odd number.
* Other than {{p|Pikachu}} in the main series, {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Squirtle}} are the only starter Pokémon to appear in more than one [[regional Pokédex]].
* The starter Pokémon of Generation III each had their own [[signature moves]]: {{m|Leaf Blade}} (Sceptile), {{m|Blaze Kick}} (Blaziken), and {{m|Muddy Water}} (Swampert). However once Generation IV came around, other Pokémon were capable of learning these moves. Currently, the only Starter Pokémon family with a signature move exclusive to them is {{p|Pokabu}} and its evolutions, the move being {{m|Heat Stamp}}.
* Only the Johto starters' final forms can be legitimately obtained in a type of Poké Ball other than the standard one. This is due to the ability to [[snagging|snag]] the starters' middle forms in {{g|Colosseum}}.
* In interviews with [[Junichi Masuda]] during 2009, he stated that starter Pokémon are the Pokémon from each game that the most work goes into, and usually take significantly more time than other Pokémon in each generation.
* When a starter Pokémon is first obtained, all are at level 5. Each knows one {{type2|Normal}} [[physical move]] and a stat-altering [[status move]] at this level, except for {{p|Pikachu}}, which has {{m|ThunderShock}} instead of a Normal-type move.
* Other than the Mystery Dungeon series, Pokémon Colosseum is the only Pokémon game that the player starts out with two Pokémon. They are also the highest leveled.
* In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, and eventually {{2v2|Black|White}}, all of the starter Pokémon are taken, instead of one being left at the lab.
* All of the Grass-type starters have the ability {{a|Overgrow}}, the Fire-type ones {{a|Blaze}}, and the Water-type ones {{a|Torrent}}. The exception to this are the evolutions of the {{p|Eevee}} obtained in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness.
** However, through the [[Dream World]], it is possible to find Starter Pokémon with other abilities.
* In the National Pokédex and the regional Pokédexes, the Grass-type starter comes numerically before the others. The Water-type ones always come last numerically.
* Espeon and Umbreon are the only starters that are received fully evolved. Also, these two are the only starters which are received together.
* Neither of the main series starters that are based on birds ({{p|Torchic}} and {{p|Piplup}}) are half {{type2|Flying}}, and neither are able to {{m|fly}}. However, the birds Torchic and Piplup were based on actually aren't able to fly.
* {{p|Bulbasaur}} is the only starter Pokémon in the main series to have a secondary-type in its unevolved stage.
* All three Johto starters stay a single type throughout their evolutionary lines, while all three Sinnoh starters are dual-types by their last evolutionary stage.
* As of [[Generation IV]], every starter-type in the main series (with the exception of {{t|Electric}}) has had one Pokémon in its final-stage of evolution to have a double weakness; {{p|Charizard}} is doubly weak to {{type2|Rock}}, {{p|Swampert}} is doubly weak to {{type2|Grass}} and {{p|Torterra}} is doubly weak to {{type2|Ice}}.
* Two of the three Johto fully evolved starters, {{p|Typhlosion}} and {{p|Feraligatr}}, share the position of the fully evolved starter to have the longest name. However, they tie with the non-fully evolved starters {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Charmeleon}}. Also, two of the three Unova starters, {{p|Snivy}} and {{p|Tepig}}, share the position of the starter or its evolutions with the shortest name 

===Anime similarities===
* Ash has owned all five Grass-type starters: {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Chikorita}}, {{AP|Treecko}}, {{AP|Turtwig}} and {{AP|Snivy}}. All of them except Bulbasaur and Snivy have evolved since then.
*Each {{type2|Water}} starter Pokémon obtained by a main character was not battled: [[Ash's Squirtle]] and {{AP|Oshawott}} chose to join his team, while Ash fought and won against Misty for his {{AP|Totodile}}. Brock did not battle {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}} to obtain it. May received her {{TP|May|Squirtle}} from [[Professor Oak]], and Dawn received her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} from [[Professor Rowan]].
* {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Treecko}} are both based on lizards (salamander, gecko). Ash had the final forms of them: {{AP|Charizard}} and {{AP|Sceptile}}. It should be noted, however, that a real life salamander is an amphibian, not a lizard; however, Charmander is based upon the legendary creature known as the {{wp|salamander (legendary creature)|Salamander}}.
* {{p|Squirtle}} and {{p|Turtwig}} are both based on turtles and were the starters of two of Ash's rivals, {{Gary}} and [[Paul]].
* {{p|Torchic}} and {{p|Piplup}} are both based on birds (chicken, penguin). They were also both owned by the anime's resident [[Pokémon Coordinator]]s.
* Both May and Dawn have a second starter Pokémon from a previous generation with a type disadvantage to their first.

Scientist (Trainer class)

2010-12-22T14:53:31Z

RedGyarados: /* Intro */

A '''Scientist''' (Japanese: '''はぐれけんきゅういん''' ''Researcher Gone Astray'' in Generations I, II and [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HGSS]], '''けんきゅういん''' ''Researcher'' in Generations III, V, and [[DPPt]]) is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] that first debuted in the [[Generation I]] games. They are men in [[wp:White coat|lab coats]] and glasses, with the ones in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} as well as {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} holding {{wp|beaker (glassware)|beakers}} as well. They are often aligned with [[Team Rocket]], as shown throughout the first four generations, and with [[Team Galactic]], as shown in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

They generally use inorganic or artificial Pokémon such as {{p|Porygon}}, {{p|Muk}}, and {{p|Voltorb}} but also {{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon in [[Sinnoh]]-and [[Unova]]-based games. Scientists of the Sinnoh and Unova regions also have a tendency to use [[Battle item]]s such as X Attack.

In {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, Scientists are known as '''Lab Men'''. In the English version of [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], Scientists are known as '''Researchers''', while Scientists working for [[Cipher]] are called '''Cipher R&D''' in XD.

In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Scientists appearing outside of the [[Battle Frontier (Generation IV)|Battle Frontier]] have a sprite unique to themselves with clothes consisting of a tattered lab coat, unkempt hair, and black pants, while Scientists within the Battle Frontier use the Diamond, Pearl and Platinum sprite, which has them wearing a normal-looking lab coat and white pants. This may be a reference to mad scientists.

In {{2v2|Black|White}}, female Scientists were introduced.

==Characteristics==
Defensively speaking, against most types, the Grass type are risky to use. {{type2|Ice}} moves (and to a lesser extent {{type2|Fire}} moves) are commonly carried by special attackers. It is also weak to {{type2|Flying}} and {{type2|Bug}} moves. Given all of this, along with their exposure to a majority of the types (five, tied with Rock-types), Grass-types are difficult to switch into play. Most of their resistances are of little use. For example, {{type2|Water}}s are able to use Ice Beam, which can cripple Grass-types. They are resistant to Ground but many of them are half Poison-type, which would neutralize their resistance to the powerful and popular {{m|Earthquake}}. Almost every Electric-type can now learn {{m|Signal Beam}}.

In spite of their defensive flaws, it is typical for Grass-types to learn {{m|Leech Seed}}, and {{m|Synthesis}}, among other disabling moves. This enables these Pokémon to provide support to the rest of their team, and can make them difficult to faint. In addition, a particular asset of this type is being the only one immune to Leech Seed. However, it can be affected by Leech Seed if the previous Pokémon was seeded and has {{m|Baton Pass}}ed into a Grass-type Pokémon. Also, resistances to Water, {{t|Electric}} and even {{type2|Ground}} help the Grass type to block common moves.

Offensively, Grass-types have problems. The main problem Grass-type moves face is that nearly all of the few Pokémon they are advantageous against are also weak to moves of other types, hence making them seem dwarfed by the other moves. Other problems are that {{t|Grass|too}} {{t|Bug|many}} {{t|Fire|Pokémon }} {{t|Steel|types}} {{t|Flying|resist}} {{t|Dragon|these}} {{t|Poison|moves}} to rely on them as a main form of dealing damage, and most of them aren't very powerful. Even then, most of the powerful moves have drawbacks, which can cause more trouble. For example, {{m|Leaf Storm}} sharply lowers Special Attack, {{m|Wood Hammer}} causes recoil damage, and {{m|Frenzy Plant}} requires a turn to recharge after being used. Making matters worse, the majority of Grass-types have very narrow movesets, often where the only damage-dealing level up moves are Grass-type and {{type2|Normal}} moves. (As seen in Pokémon such as Meganium, Cherrim and Sunflora). Another problem is that double resistances to Grass are extremely common, even more so than double weaknesses. (To compare, 21 Pokémon are doubly weak to Grass, while 66 Pokémon doubly resist it.)

Grass-type Pokémon seem to be affected by [[weather conditions]] more than most other Pokémon, due to their closeness with plants and nature. Most power up under {{m|Sunny Day|intense sunlight}}, while a few others work best under other conditions. Pokémon such as {{p|Ludicolo}} in {{m|Rain Dance|heavy rain}}, {{p|Cacturne}} in {{m|sandstorm}}s or {{p|Abomasnow}} in {{m|hail}}storms are such Grass-types.

When used in contests, Grass-type moves typically become [[Smart Contest|Smart]] moves, but can also be any of the other four Contest types.

In total, there are 75/649 Pokémon with the Grass type.

* The Grass type is tied with the {{type2|Rock}} for the largest number of weaknesses when unpaired, with five: {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Ice}}, {{t|Fire}} and {{t|Poison}}. Coincidentally, Rock is super effective against all of Grass's weaknesses except for Poison.
* Although about a third of the Grass-type Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation I]], only {{p|Tangela|one}} is a pure Grass-type.
* The Grass type has been paired with every type that it is super effective against.
* All Pokémon that have seven weaknesses are partially of the Grass type.
* There is at least one Pokémon with each type combination that has a double weakness to Grass. For example, {{p|Omanyte}} is {{2t|Water|Rock}}, {{p|Whiscash}} is {{2t|Water|Ground}}, and {{2t|Rock|Ground}} types are the most plentiful.
** This trait is also shared with {{t|Water}}, {{t|Flying}} and {{t|Psychic}}.
* Grass is the only starter type that doesn't have its own variation of {{m|Eruption}}. Fire has Eruption, while Water has {{m|Water Spout}}.
*Grass has been resisted by the most types, having the {{t|Dragon}}, {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Steel}}, {{t|Fire}}, and {{t|Poison}} types resist it, as well as resisting itself.
* The {{p|Paras}} and {{p|Tamagetake}} families are the only Grass type Pokémon that aren't at least somewhat Green, or do not evolve to or from a Pokémon or have a shiny or alternate form that is.
** {{p|Exeggcute}} evolves into {{p|Exeggutor}}, the {{p|Tangela}} family is green when shiny, and the {{p|Shikijika}} family is green only in their summer forms.

Hoenn Route 114

'''Route 114''' is the northwesternmost [[route]] in all of [[Hoenn]]. It is a remote, scenic location, passing some of Hoenn's oldest rock formations, and is home to wild Pokémon not found elsewhere in the region.

==Route description==
Route 114 begins with a path leading west out of [[Fallarbor Town]], passing the [[Fossil Maniac]]'s house and several small ponds. A [[Fisherman]] stands on the pond's edge, ready to challenge trainers. Past him, near the large rock formation, is a man and his {{p|Poochyena}}, who, if the player speaks to him, will give out {{TM|05|Roar}}. The rock formation behind him has several things, as well, up the {{m|waterfall}}, including one of the many possible entrances to [[Terra Cave]] in {{game|Emerald}}.

Continuing, the route turns south, where a bridge will take trainers across a large lake created by the waterfall, in which is an island with one of the many opportunities to make a [[secret base]]. It is here where the scenery changes, once more becoming lush and green, just before the rocky landscape of [[Meteor Falls]]' exterior is reached. On the southeastern shore of the lake is where [[Lanette]] lives, as well. Here is where many trainers reside, all of different classes. There are {{tc|Poké Maniac|PokéManiacs}}, {{tc|Kindler}}s, and of course, as always in the mountains, {{tc|Hiker}}s. Following the path up to the entrance of Meteor Falls will as well take trainers past many opportunities to make a [[secret base]].

'''Turtwig''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ナエトル''' ''Naetle'') is a {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Grotle}} starting at [[level]] 18, who evolves into {{p|Torterra}} starting at [[level]] 32.

Along with {{p|Chimchar}} and {{p|Piplup}}, it is one of the three [[starter Pokémon]] the {{player}} can choose at the beginning of {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Turtwig's appearance is characteristic of a turtle or tortoise, and it is primarily light green in coloration. Its prominent, yellow-colored jawbone may denote a relationship to the snapping turtle. Its green and yellow body is covered by a shell. A small seedling grows on a brown-colored patch on its head, similar to the plant bulb on {{p|Bulbasaur}}'s back and the leaf on {{p|Chikorita}}'s head, the plant part revealing its Grass-type nature. The brown shell on its back has a thick black stripe and rim, and is apparently made of {{t|Ground|earth}}. The shell should feel moist on a healthy Turtwig. Turtwig’s eyes are yellow, as are its feet, and Turtwig’s tail is small.

====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Turtwig can utilize the [[Weather conditions#Intense sunlight|sun]] in order to use moves like {{m|Synthesis}} and {{m|SolarBeam}}. Its rock hard shell provides great defense but reduces its speed. Turtwig receives a huge {{a|Overgrow|power boost}} to its {{type2|Grass}} moves when it is weary from battle. Turtwig are also capable of many other Grass-type moves such as {{m|Razor Leaf}} and {{m|Giga Drain}}.

===Behavior===
Turtwig is a Pokémon that tends to be non-violent. As a show of affection, some Turtwig have been known to chomp their trainer's head. The leaf on its head will wilt if it becomes thirsty. As a result, it lives in areas that are close to lakes.

Turtwig is also sometimes either shy and lazy, or outgoing and protective.

===Habitat===
Turtwig are somewhat scarce in the wild. They're usually given to young [[Pokémon Trainer]]s as a [[starter Pokémon]] by [[Professor Rowan]]. Turtwig can be found living along lakes in dense forests.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
As a plant-based Pokémon, Turtwig usually nourishes itself through photosynthesis. It can eat [[berry|berries]] like other Pokémon. It also drinks water, which hardens its soil-based shell. On a very healthy Turtwig, the shell should feel moist.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Gardenia Turtwig.png|thumb|210px|[[Gardenia's Turtwig]]]]
Turtwig made its debut appearance in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden Voyage]]''. It was a starter Pokémon [[Professor Rowan]] was giving out. It had a relaxing nature.

Another Turtwig appeared in ''[[DP004|Dawn of a New Era!]]''. It was under the ownership of a trainer at the [[Pokémon Center]].

{{Ash}} obtained his {{AP|Turtwig|Grotle}} in ''[[DP005|Gettin' Twiggy With It]]''. It eventually evolved in ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy!]]''.

The [[Gym Leader]] [[Gardenia]] has a {{TP|Gardenia|Turtwig}} that first appeared in ''[[DP031|The Grass-Type is Always Greener!]]''. It was used in the gym battle against Ash in ''[[DP037|The Grass Menagerie]]''. It defeated {{AP|Staravia|Staraptor}}, but lost to Ash's Turtwig.

Another Turtwig also appeared in ''[[DP126|Classroom Training!]]''. A young boy was using it at the Trainers School to battle a {{p|Chimchar}}.

[[Paul]]'s starter was a Turtwig, which has fully evolved into a {{TP|Paul|Torterra}}. It appeared as a Turtwig in a flashback with Paul in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'' where it was watching [[Reggie]] battle [[Pyramid King Brandon|Brandon]].

{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Diamond & Pearl''|Sinnoh}}

==In the manga==
{{adv|Diamond}} owns a Turtwig, which he nicknamed "[[Wig]]" in [[Pokémon Adventures]], which evolved into a {{p|Grotle}} simultaneously with [[Chimhiko]] ({{adv|Pearl}}'s {{p|Chimchar}}), and {{adv|Platinum}}'s {{p|Piplup}} in [[Eterna City]], and then again in [[Veilstone City]] into a {{p|Torterra}} along with Chimhiko.

==Trivia==
[[File:PokéSun May09 10.png|thumb|The three silhouettes on [[Pokémon Sunday]]]]
* Tepig and its fellow {{2v2|Black|White}} starters were first revealed as silhouettes on the May 9, 2010 episode of [[Pokémon Sunday]]. They were later revealed in full in the June 2010 issue of [[CoroCoro]].
* Tepig has the lowest base stat total of all {{type2|Fire}} [[starter Pokémon]].
* Tepig's {{p|Chaoboo|evolutionary}} {{p|Enbuoh|line}} is the only [[Generation V]] starter Pokémon evolutionary line which has a [[signature move]], {{m|Heat Stamp}}.
* Tepig is currently the only [[Evolution|unevolved]] {{type2|Fire}} [[starter Pokémon]] whose English name does not contain the letter C.
** In fact, it is only the second one whose English name ''doesn't'' begin with the letter C, along with {{p|Torchic}}.
** Tepig is also the first {{type2|Fire}} [[starter Pokémon]] that is fully quadrupedal, instead of being at least partly bipedal like other {{type2|Fire}} [[starter Pokémon]].
** However, its evolved forms can use two legs like all other {{type2|Fire}} [[starter Pokémon]]'s evolved forms.

===Origin===
Tepig is based on a {{wp|Saddleback (pig)|saddleback piglet}}. It and its evolutions, as stated by Ken Sugimori, were designed in a Chinese style.

====Name origin====
Tepig may be a combination of "tepid", meaning ''lukewarm'', '"temperature" and "pig".
Pokabu is derived from ぽかぽか ''pokapoka'', warmth circulating through one's body, combined with 豚 ''buta'', pig; or ブー ''bū'', "oink".

==In other languages==
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Gruikui - Derived from "grui grui" (french for the pig's oink) and ''cuit'' (cooked).
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Floink

([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ジャローダ''' ''Jalorda'') is a {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon introduced in [[Generation V]].

It evolves from {{p|Janovy}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Snivy}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Jalorda is a primarily pale-green, snake-like Pokémon. Jalorda has curled pale-green patterns on the sides of its face and snout, and small, pointed yellow extensions on the back of their heads. Its face and upper neck are white-colored, and curled, tendril-like darker green extensions spread out from the sides of its lower neck, forming a curling pattern lower down the body, resembling a fancy collar. It has narrow red eyes. The upper section of its body is dark green, and the lower pale green. Curled yellow patterns adorn its body, and a sprig-like feature of several leaves tip its tail. It has lost its legs completely, and now only has small, stubby hands.

====Gender differences====
None

===Special abilities===
Jalorda is able to amplify sunlight inside its body. Its piercing stare can stop opponents in their tracks.

===Behavior===
Jalorda holds its head high pretentiously while fighting. It doesn't take most opponents seriously, unless said opponent is particularly powerful.

==Trivia==
* Measuring up to 3.3 meters, Jalorda is both the tallest fully evolved {{Type|Grass}} Pokémon and fully evolved [[starter Pokémon]].
* Jalorda is the only evolution of a starter Pokémon without legs.
* Jalorda, {{p|Daikenki}} and {{p|Enbuoh}} all share the same base stat total of 528.

===Origin===
Jalorda is based off multiple species of non-venomous {{wp|snakes}} and limbless lizards, such as the {{wp|Green Vine Snake}}, the {{wp|Emerald Tree Boa}}, the {{wp|Royal Python}} or the snake-like {{wp|Lialis burtonis}}. Its design was based off of {{wp|Strelitzia}}s, most likely either the {{wp|strelitzia juncea}} and/or the {{wp|strelitzia reginae}}. Its appearence may have also been inspired by the {{wp|Quetzalcoatl}}; a green, {{wp|Feathered Serpent (deity)|feathered serpent deity}}. Jalorda's appearance may have been based on the {{wp|acanthus (ornament)|acanthus leaf}} motifs used specially during the 18th century. It and its pre-evolutions were confirmed to have been inspired from European, specifically French, royalty. The fact that Jalorda amplifies sunlight in its body, as stated in its Pokédex entry, may be an allusion to King {{wp|Louis XIV}}, a famous French king who referred to himself as the "Sun King". Jalorda's white face also alludes to the {{wp|skin whitening}} fashion, mostly used by the European aristocracy in the 17th century. {{p|Snivy}} and its evolutionary line may also be based off of the {{wp|Serpent (Bible)|Serpent}} in the {{wp|Garden of Eden}} story from the {{wp|Old Testament}}. {{wp|God in Christianity|God}} had cursed the serpent to crawl on its belly and lose its legs for leading mankind into sin. Jalorda's {{a|Antagonist|Dream World ability}} also suggests this. The fact that Jalorda can seize opponents with its piercing stare makes a reference to the {{wp|Basilisk}}, king of serpents in European legends.

====Name origin====
Jalorda's name is derived from "Ja", meaning snake, and lord.

==Characteristics==
Defensively speaking, against most types, the Grass type are risky to use. {{type2|Ice}} moves (and to a lesser extent {{type2|Fire}} moves) are commonly carried by special attackers. It is also weak to {{type2|Flying}} and {{type2|Bug}} moves. Given all of this, along with their exposure to a majority of the types (five, tied with Rock-types), Grass-types are difficult to switch into play. Most of their resistances are of little use. For example, {{type2|Water}}s are able to use Ice Beam, which can cripple Grass-types. They are resistant to Ground but many of them are half Poison-type, which would neutralize their resistance to the powerful and popular {{m|Earthquake}}. Almost every Electric-type can now learn {{m|Signal Beam}}.

In spite of their defensive flaws, it is typical for Grass-types to learn {{m|Leech Seed}}, and {{m|Synthesis}}, among other disabling moves. This enables these Pokémon to provide support to the rest of their team, and can make them difficult to faint. In addition, a particular asset of this type is being the only one immune to Leech Seed. However, it can be affected by Leech Seed if the previous Pokémon was seeded and has {{m|Baton Pass}}ed into a Grass-type Pokémon. Also, resistances to Water, {{t|Electric}} and even {{type2|Ground}} help the Grass type to block common moves.

Offensively, Grass-types have problems. The main problem Grass-type moves face is that nearly all of the few Pokémon they are advantageous against are also weak to moves of other types, hence making them seem dwarfed by the other moves. Other problems are that {{t|Grass|too}} {{t|Bug|many}} {{t|Fire|Pokémon }} {{t|Steel|types}} {{t|Flying|resist}} {{t|Dragon|these}} {{t|Poison|moves}} to rely on them as a main form of dealing damage, and most of them aren't very powerful. Even then, most of the powerful moves have drawbacks, which can cause more trouble. For example, {{m|Leaf Storm}} sharply lowers Special Attack, {{m|Wood Hammer}} causes recoil damage, and {{m|Frenzy Plant}} requires a turn to recharge after being used. Making matters worse, the majority of Grass-types have very narrow movesets, often where the only damage-dealing level up moves are Grass-type and {{type2|Normal}} moves. (As seen in Pokémon such as Meganium, Cherrim and Sunflora). Another problem is that double resistances to Grass are extremely common, even more so than double weaknesses. (To compare, 21 Pokémon are doubly weak to Grass, while 66 Pokémon doubly resist it.)

Grass-type Pokémon seem to be affected by [[weather conditions]] more than most other Pokémon, due to their closeness with plants and nature. Most power up under {{m|Sunny Day|intense sunlight}}, while a few others work best under other conditions. Pokémon such as {{p|Ludicolo}} in {{m|Rain Dance|heavy rain}}, {{p|Cacturne}} in {{m|sandstorm}}s or {{p|Abomasnow}} in {{m|hail}}storms are such Grass-types.

When used in contests, Grass-type moves typically become [[Smart Contest|Smart]] moves, but can also be any of the other four Contest types.

In total, there are 75/649 Pokémon with the Grass type.

==Pokémon==
There are 75 Pokémon with the Grass-type, making it the fourth most common type.

==Trivia==
* The Grass type is tied with the {{type2|Rock}} for the largest number of weaknesses when unpaired, with five: {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Ice}}, {{t|Fire}} and {{t|Poison}}. Coincidentally, Rock is super effective against all of Grass's weaknesses except for Poison.
* Although about a third of the Grass-type Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation I]], only {{p|Tangela|one}} is a pure Grass-type.
* The Grass type has been paired with every type that it is super effective against.
* All Pokémon that have seven weaknesses are partially of the Grass type.
* There is at least one Pokémon with each type combination that has a double weakness to Grass. For example, {{p|Omanyte}} is {{2t|Water|Rock}}, {{p|Whiscash}} is {{2t|Water|Ground}}, and {{2t|Rock|Ground}} types are the most plentiful.
** This trait is also shared with {{t|Water}}, {{t|Flying}} and {{t|Psychic}}.
* Grass is the only starter type that doesn't have its own variation of {{m|Eruption}}. Fire has Eruption, while Water has {{m|Water Spout}}.
*Grass has been resisted by the most types, having the {{t|Dragon}}, {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Steel}}, {{t|Fire}}, and {{t|Poison}} types resist it, as well as resisting itself.

{{StrategyWiki}}
'''Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンXD {{tt|闇|やみ}}の{{tt|旋風|かぜ}}ダーク・ルギア''' ''Pokémon XD: Whirlwind of Darkness, Dark Lugia'') is [[Genius Sonority]]'s second Pokémon game for the [[Nintendo GameCube]]. The "XD" in the title stands for "eXtra Dimension."

The game once again takes place in the [[Orre]] region, about five years after the events of [[Pokémon Colosseum]]. In their second attempt at world domination, the criminal organization [[Cipher]] has created a [[Shadow Lugia]], a.k.a "XD001," which they believe is immune to purification.

===Generation IV===
*{{p|Munchlax}}

These Pokémon are not catchable, but they have special roles in the game. The Herbalist's Munchlax will often appear at a Poké Spot and make the hero receive a false alarm that a wild Pokémon has appeared to eat his Poké Snacks. When the hero finds Munchlax, the Herbalist will appear to take it back to her store, and she will offer the hero ten more Poké Snacks for his trouble.

A girl's Bonsly can be found inside the [[S.S. Libra]] after it appears in the desert. This Bonsly is apparently a Pokémon that Cipher forgot to take to [[Cipher Key Lair]]. After saving Bonsly and taking it to the girl in [[Pyrite Town]], she'll allow the hero to play a special [[Battle Bingo#Bonsly_Card|bingo card]] at [[Realgam Tower]], which features Bonsly as a usable Pokémon.

==Connectivity==
Players can transfer snagged Pokémon from Pokémon XD to any of the portable [[Generation III]] games: [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby, Sapphire]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, LeafGreen]] and {{v|Emerald}}. This transference functions identically to the [[trade|trading]] function in the [[main series]] games, but can only happen in [[Phenac City]].

==Trivia==
* Though {{p|Lugia}} is the main focus of the game, it has the second highest level of all snaggable [[Shadow Pokémon]] in this game (tied with {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, and {{p|Salamence}}). The Shadow Pokémon of the highest level in this game is a {{p|Dragonite}}.
* Pokémon XD is only the second true sequel Pokémon game, after the [[Generation II]] games, which are a sequel to [[Generation I]].
**Before the release of Pokémon XD, Reggie Fils-Aime stated that Pokémon XD would not be a sequel to [[Pokémon Colosseum]] but rather a whole new game, having a similar style to {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}.
* If one trades a Pokémon from {{pkmn|Colosseum}} to a [[Generation III|GBA game]] and then to this game, it will say the Pokémon was met in Distant Land, even though it was caught in the same land, Orre.
* If a player pre-ordered this game, they could receive a limited edition [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] skin featuring [[Shadow Lugia]], {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Eevee}}, and [[Michael]].
* In the game, the player can capture Lugia, then Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres. Coincidentally in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' the [[Lawrence III|antagonist]] of the movie captures Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres to capture Lugia.
*The game's name may be a reference to Lugia's original name before the release of Gold and Silver, Pokemon X.
*Unlike most games, traveling by foot is not required as transportation to get to new lands. Michael uses a scooter instead.

{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Diamond and Pearl}}
'''Pokémon Diamond Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターダイヤモンド''' ''Pocket Monsters Diamond'') and '''Pokémon Pearl Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターパール''' ''Pocket Monsters Pearl'') are the first [[main series]] Pokémon RPGs released on the [[Nintendo DS]], beginning [[Generation IV]]. The games were released in Japan on September 28, 2006 and in North America on April 22, 2007. They take place in the region of [[Sinnoh]] and the {{player}}'s starting area is [[Twinleaf Town]].

==Plot==
At the start, the player sees a [[television|newscast]] about a sighting of a [[Shiny Pokémon|red]] {{p|Gyarados}}. The player then heads to his or her {{ga|Barry|best friend}}'s house and goes to [[Lake Verity]] with him to see if there are any similar Pokémon living in it. Once there, two wild {{p|Starly}} attack. Nearby is a briefcase containing [[Starter Pokémon|three Pokémon]] that the two choose from to fight off the {{type2|Flying}}s. As is always the case, the player's best friend, who becomes the rival, takes the Pokémon that has a type advantage over the player's choice. The professor's assistant, who is the alternate-[[gender]] player character of the player, takes the remaining starter. After the Starly is defeated, the two return to Twinleaf Town with [[Professor Rowan]]'s briefcase. Back in Twinleaf Town the player's mother gives him or her a pair of [[Running Shoes]], and then the player leaves for Sandgem Town to return the briefcase. After meeting Professor Rowan, he gives the player the Pokémon chosen at the lake to keep and a [[Pokédex]]. This sets one of the primary aims of the game, completing the Pokédex. The player then sets off to explore Sinnoh and defeat [[Gym Leader]]s in order to advance further in the plot, challenge the [[Elite Four]] and become the [[Champion]] of Sinnoh.

During the course of the game, there are many conflicts with the evil [[Team Galactic]] and its leader, [[Cyrus]]. When the power of {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}} (depending on the version), summoned by Cyrus, begins to overwhelm Sinnoh, {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}} and {{p|Azelf}} appear and negate the power flow, and the player must catch or defeat the [[Legendary Pokémon|legendary]].

After the player defeats the Elite Four, there are further activities to pursue. These mainly concern the capture of previously unavailable Pokémon, extra features such as the PokéRadar, exploration of previously unaccessable places such as the [[Fight Area|Fight]], [[Survival Area|Survival]], and [[Resort Area|Resort Areas]] and the perfection of battle skills in the {{si|Battle Tower}}.

==Blurb==
"Welcome to the next [[Generation IV|generation]] of Pokémon!" As a rookie [[Pokémon Trainer]], you will need to catch, train and battle Pokémon on your journey to become the [[Pokémon League]] Champion. You will face many challenges along the way, as you search for the Pokémon that rules time or space in Pokémon Diamond Version or Pokémon Pearl Version. Discover more than 100 new Pokémon in the [[Sinnoh]] region. Meet goals and earn the ability to import Pokémon from your GBA [[version]]s! Battle and trade with your friends around the world using [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]]!

==Connectivity==
[[{{ns:6}}:Pokémon Pearl.jpg|right|thumb|North American Pokémon Pearl DS card]]

* Diamond and Pearl are compatible with the [[Generation III|Game Boy Advance Pokémon RPGs]] after seeing the first 150 Pokémon in the Sinnoh Pokédex. The GBA cartridge is inserted into the GBA slot of the Nintendo DS, while Diamond or Pearl is in its DS card slot to upload Pokémon.
* Pokémon uploads are restricted to six per 24-hour period per GBA cartridge, and the player will have to re-capture such transferred Pokémon in [[Pal Park]] located at the end of [[Route 221]] before transferring from another GBA game.
** However there is a [[Pal Park Glitch|way]] to bypass this restriction.
* Pokémon knowing any of the [[Generation III]] [[HM]] [[move]]s ({{m|Cut}}, {{m|Fly}}, {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Strength}}, {{m|Flash}}, {{m|Rock Smash}}, {{m|Waterfall}}, and {{m|Dive}}) cannot be transferred; therefore, it is necessary to go to the [[Move Deleter]] in [[Fuchsia City]] or [[Lilycove City]] to remove them before transfer.
* The player cannot transfer any of the Pokémon back to the GBA cartridge once they are transferred to their Diamond/Pearl copy; the transfer is permanent.
* While a GBA game is in the DS, [[dual-slot mode]] activates and it becomes possible to capture Pokémon in the wild in Sinnoh that do not natively appear, though this may only happen after the [[National Pokédex]] is obtained.
* The DS's native support for Wi-Fi is employed, allowing players to trade, battle and communicate using "voice chat" online.
* Diamond and Pearl feature wireless connectivity to [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], much as their predecessors connected to the [[Nintendo 64]] and [[Nintendo GameCube]] and their respective battle arena games.
* Diamond and Pearl feature a global trading system, which allows trainers to search for any Pokémon they want, or put up one of their own Pokémon for trade for any Pokémon. Players of other games can search for the Pokémon that others have put onto the [[Global Terminal|Global Trade Station]].
* Diamond and Pearl feature connectivity to {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}. By completing a special mission in Ranger, an [[Pokémon egg|Egg]] can be sent from Ranger to Diamond or Pearl, where it can be hatched into the legendary Pokémon, {{p|Manaphy}}.
* Diamond and Pearl also feature connectivity to [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]]. By completing three special missions in the game, a {{p|Manaphy}} {{pkmn|egg}}, a {{p|Riolu}} with {{m|Aura Sphere}} and a {{p|Darkrai}} with {{m|Dark Void}} can be sent from the game to Diamond or Pearl.
* Diamond and Pearl also feature connection to the [[Wii|WiiWare]] title [[My Pokémon Ranch]], in which Pokémon can be raised and stored in a farm-like environment, much like [[Generation III]]'s [[Pokémon Box: Ruby & Sapphire]].

==Features==
The day-night system first appearing in [[Generation II]] returns, with the same three [[time]] periods, but better transitioning between them. A new multifunction device called the [[Pokétch]], short for Pokémon Watch, is also introduced. The [[Pokémon professor|regional Professor]]'s name is [[Professor Rowan]], after [[wp:Rowan|a tree]] like the others, and he allows the player and his or her rival to keep the [[starter Pokémon]] they used against attacking wild Pokémon at the beginning of the game.

A new battle system is used for Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. In this new battle system, attacks are declared either physical or special by how the attack itself operates, i.e. whether the attack touches the enemy or not, instead of the attack type, as was previously the case. For example, {{m|ThunderPunch}} is now [[physical move|physical]] and {{m|Hyper Beam}} turns into [[special move|special]]. This was initially highly controversial with fans of the series, as it was considered to "waste" some of the Pokémon that were more powerful in [[Generation III]], like {{p|Blaziken}} and {{p|Sceptile}}, though it now allows for a more versatile set of moves to be viable for these Pokémon.

Though it was reported initially that the games would feature {{t|Dark}}/{{t|Psychic}}/{{t|Fighting}} starters, this is not the case. The games retain the starters in the type trio of previous generations, {{t|Grass}}/{{t|Fire}}/{{t|Water}}, this time being {{p|Turtwig}}, {{p|Chimchar}}, and {{p|Piplup}}, respectively.

===Contests===
{{main|Pokémon Super Contest}}
In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, a significant amount of changes have been made to the Pokémon Contests introduced in [[Generation III]], now known as Super Contests.

Instead of making [[Pokéblock]]s with berries, berry-flavored muffins called [[Poffin]] are made. This is done in [[Hearthome City]], though not within the contest hall, instead it is done at the Poffin House, which is near the Pokémon Center in Hearthome. Using the DS's touchscreen, players must stir the Poffin as directed by arrows that appear.

The first round of the contests themselves is similar to the first round in Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald, but instead of relying solely on contest stats, Pokémon must be dressed up using [[Accessory|accessories]] with the stylus within a time limit. Each particular contest will require different accessories, and higher ranks may require more to be put on the Pokémon.

The second round is a dancing round, using buttons on the touch screen to either perform a dance that the others will find hard to mimic (if the player's Pokémon is the main dancer) or to copy the lead Pokémon's dance moves. Each Pokémon gets a turn at being the leader, and the leader must try to dance in time with the music, and so, obviously, so do the background dancers. The A, B, X, and Y buttons also work.

The third round is very similar to the appeals round in Generation III, and the main difference is that there are three judges and only four appeals, rather than one judge and five appeals. A Pokémon will get more points if it is the only Pokémon to perform for a particular judge, less if another one appeals for that judge and so on. The crowd system is still in place, but this time, each judge has a different meter, making it both potentially risky and potentially rewarding to appeal to a judge that all of the other Pokémon are appealing to. In addition, Pokémon will receive bonus points for appeals regardless of the impression on the judge, and points are not added simply for raising a judge's "voltage."

===New gyms===
As is always the case, there are eight new [[Gym]]s in Sinnoh, each with their own type affiliation. The new [[Gym Leader]]s are [[Roark]] ({{t|Rock}}), [[Gardenia]] ({{t|Grass}}), [[Maylene]] ({{t|Fighting}}), [[Crasher Wake]] ({{t|Water}}), [[Fantina]] ({{t|Ghost}}), [[Byron]] ({{t|Steel}}), [[Candice]] ({{t|Ice}}) and [[Volkner]] ({{t|Electric}}).

===Elite Four===
The new [[Elite Four]] is located at the [[Pokémon League (Sinnoh)|Pokémon League]]. The Elite trainers are [[Aaron (Elite Four)|Aaron]] ({{t|Bug}}), [[Bertha]] ({{t|Ground}}), [[Flint (Elite Four)|Flint]] ({{t|Fire}}) and [[Lucian]] ({{t|Psychic}}); the [[Champion]] is [[Cynthia]], who has Pokémon of mixed types.

===New Pokémon===
:: ''See [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number]] and [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number]]''
As the first [[Generation IV]] games, Diamond and Pearl were the first sightings of 107 new Pokémon, bringing the total amount to 493.

The new Pokémon began being unveiled in 2004, with the release of ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'' in Japan, where {{p|Munchlax}} was revealed.

{{cat|Generation IV Pokémon|Fourth-generation Pokémon}} continued being unveiled in 2005, with the Japanese release of ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''. The movie featured {{p|Lucario}}, {{p|Bonsly}}, {{p|Mime Jr.}} and {{p|Weavile}}.

2006 was crunch time for the fourth generation. The ninth movie, ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', featured {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Mantyke}}, {{p|Buizel}} and {{p|Chatot}}, and {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} were soon confirmed to be on the two games' [[Version mascots|boxart]]. On September 27, all 107 of the new Pokémon's menu icons were revealed on [[Filb.de]].

During the week that followed the games' Japanese release, [[Serebii.net]] featured a "Discovery Trench" that revealed the names and stats of many of the previously-unknown Pokémon to the general public.

====[[Version-exclusive Pokémon|Version exclusives]]====
The following Pokémon are only obtainable in one game of this pair. In order to obtain Pokémon exclusive to the other game of this pair, they must be traded either from that game or from another compatible game of [[Generation IV]] which has that Pokémon available. Alternatively, all Pokémon released prior to these games may be migrated from a [[Generation III]] game.

==Compatibility==
Trading exists between Diamond and Pearl Versions through the [[Nintendo DS]]'s internal wireless connection. It connects to {{game|Platinum}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} in the same manner. [[Pokémon egg|Eggs]] received from {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}} and its sequels are also sent through wireless. Diamond and Pearl also have the ability to connect to the {{wp|internet}} with the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi]] system, and also the [[Nintendo Wii]]. Due to improvements in international linking, some [[Pokémon]] can have [[Meister|foreign Pokédex entries]].

Diamond and Pearl also maintain backward compatibility with the [[Generation III]] games, however standard trading is not allowed. A player's Pokémon may be permanently transferred via [[Pal Park]], and some Pokémon that could previously not be caught can be found using the [[dual-slot mode]].

Also, by connecting to the Wii with a Nintendo DS, players can copy their [[party]] Pokémon to their copy of [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], as well as [[My Pokémon Ranch]]. However, only Diamond and Pearl are compatible with My Pokémon Ranch, while Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum are all compatible with Pokémon Battle Revolution.

==Reception==
Pokémon Diamond and Pearl were critically well received, with Nintendo Power calling them "the ultimate Pokémon experience." <ref>[http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/ds/pokemondiamond?q=pokemon 1 Pokemon Diamond (ds) reviews at Metacritic.com] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref> The inclusion of Wi-Fi features and the voice chat feature were also praised. However, the games were criticized for their somewhat basic graphics, with IGN commenting "if you're looking for impressive visuals you're not going to get them."<ref>[http://uk.ds.ign.com/articles/782/782443p2.html IGN: Pokemon Diamond Version Review] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref> Despite this, Diamond and Pearl received a "Great" score of 8.5/10 on the site.<ref>[http://ds.ign.com/objects/707/707323.html Pokemon Diamond | Pokemon Diamond Version (2007)] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref>

According to {{wp|Famitsu}}, Pokémon Diamond and Pearl sold 1,586,360 units in the four days after its release. On December 27, 2006, it was announced that the two games combined became the first Nintendo DS games to hit five million units shipped.<ref>[http://www.famitsu.com/game/news/2006/12/27/103,1167202517,65081,0,0.html 『ポケットモンスターダイヤモンド･パール』の出荷本数が500万本を突破！ ] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref>

Sales of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl in Japan exceeded the five million mark in the 29th week of sales (April 9 - 15, 2007).<ref>[[Bulbanews]]: [[n:Diamond, Pearl sales cross 5 million mark in Japan|Diamond, Pearl sales cross 5 million mark in Japan]] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref> In the United States, over 533,000 pre-orders were taken before release<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20070425074506/http://press.nintendo.com/articles.jsp?id=11981 NINTENDO ADVISES POKÉMON FANS: PRE-ORDERS TOP 500,000] (Wayward archive) (retrieved January 13, 2010)</ref>, and one million copies were sold within five days.

==Trivia==
* Pokémon Diamond and Pearl are the first main series games in which the rival's starter Pokémon is not at level 5 during the first rival battle.
* Pokémon Diamond and Pearl contain many references to {{wp|Internet meme}}s and {{wp|chatspeak}}. The lead translator, [[Nob Ogasawara]], is a member of the {{wp|Something Awful|Something Awful Forums}}, leading to numerous internet references. There are also multiple references to the Something Awful website and community scattered throughout the game, such as one Pokémon Trainer announcing "{{wp|My Tank is Fight|My Pokémon is Fight!}}". "Noob" is also used several times, "Owned" is said by a [[Team Galactic|Galactic]] grunt and [[Buck]], and ROFL is available as a speech option. Also, in the {{player}}'s first encounter with Team Galactic, they tell [[Professor Rowan]] to "hand over his research so that they would refrain from causing {{wp|Giant Enemy Crab|massive damage}} to his assistant". The receptionist in the [[Team Galactic HQ]] and a [[Fisherman]] on [[Route 212]] use the phrase "For the Win". In Veilstone City, a girl tells a man asked her in a strange language "{{wp|List of Internet phenomena#Games|if she liked Pokémon or something}}", and a clown tells the player {{wp|Pro Wrestling (Nintendo Entertainment System)#"A winner is you"|"A winner is you"}}. Perhaps coincidentally, [[Twinleaf Town]] shares its Japanese name with that of the original *chan imageboard, {{wp|Futaba Channel|2chan}}.
* Diamond and Pearl (and also {{v2|Platinum}}) are also the first main series Pokémon games not to have their storage media colored outside of Japan, and the first games in which the lab of the region's [[Pokémon Professor]] is not in the player's hometown.
* The Sinnoh region's starters are the first [[starter Pokémon]] which all gain a second type through evolution.
* The leaders and [[Elite_Four#Sinnoh_Elite_Four|Elite Four]] of Sinnoh do not always use Pokémon of their specialized type. This problem was fixed in {{v2|Platinum}} with an [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number#Platinum_expansion|expansion]] added to the Pokédex.
* Diamond and Pearl are the second Pokémon games that require their saved data to be deleted before saving a new game, with the first being [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]].
* Korean characters do not appear in non-Korean games and vice-versa; they appear as empty spaces.
* Diamond and Pearl are also the first two games in which [[baby Pokémon]] previously available only through {{pkmn|breeding}} can be found in the wild, if one would not count catching {{p|Wynaut}} on [[Mirage Island]] in the Hoenn-based games.
**Also, certain Pokémon that normally [[Evolution|evolve]] via [[Trade|trading]] may be caught in the wild as well.
* Diamond and Pearl are the first set of games where all 3 of the starter Pokémon are utilized in the storyline of the game.
* Non-Asian versions of Diamond and Pearl are the first main Pokémon games to capitalize the names of characters, locations, items, etc. normally (e.g. Team Galactic and Ultra Ball aren't completely capitalized) as opposed to writing them in all capital letters (e.g. TEAM ROCKET or ULTRA BALL) as was in previous games. However, Pokémon names are still written this way due to backward compatibility with previous games.
* On the English versions of the box art, the Pokémon logo has the registered trademark symbol(®). However, the in-game title screen has the trademark symbol(™).
* The frame rate for the Generation IV games is 30 frames per second, lower than that of the Generation III games. This is most likely due to the 3D graphics.
* These games are the first games where the upgrade to the National Pokédex is not required for allowing non-regional Pokémon on these versions from trading, though the only drawback is that a non-regional Pokémon does not count on the number of Pokémon seen or caught and their number is listed as ??? until the National Pokédex is acquired.
* The types of the version mascots, [[Dragon]], [[Steel]], and [[Water]] match the types of the [[Champion|Champions]] [[Lance]], [[Steven]], and [[Wallace]].
*On the back cover of the Australian/New Zealand version of Pokémon Diamond, it states "...as you search for the Pokémon that rules ''space'' in Pokémon Diamond Version." This is an error, as it should say "...as you search for the Pokémon that rules ''time'' in Pokémon Diamond Version." This error was corrected on the boxart of other regions.
*When you complete the Sinnoh Pokédex or the National Pokédex, you can visit one of the villas in the Valor Lakefront, containing the director of Game Freak. He will give you a "reward", a one-time letter commemorating that Pokédex's completion. It does not affect the game.

'''Magikarp''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''コイキング''' ''Koiking'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Magikarp is a reddish-orange, medium-sized fish. Its notable characteristics include large, heavy scales. Its fins are primarily white, but it has two stiff, three-peaked fins on its back and stomach which are both yellow. It also has long {{wp|barbel (anatomy)|barbels}}.

====Gender differences====
A female has white barbels and a male has tan ones. The male also has a slightly bigger light band on its forehead compared to the female, suggesting it is slightly larger.

====Special abilities====
Long-lived Magikarp are able to utilize their immense {{m|splash}}ing power to leap high enough to jump mountains. Magikarp also have a strong enough immune system to survive in the most polluted of waters.

===Behavior===
Although this Pokémon is capable of surviving in even the most polluted ponds, it is usually overlooked by trainers because it is pathetically weak: even in the heat of battle it will do nothing but flop around. It is not a strong swimmer, and currents in the water will sweep it downstream. They are normally seen using {{m|Splash}}, which is unusual, as it makes them easy targets to predators. Before the species multiplied, it is believed that the ancestors of Magikarp were actually much stronger than the Magikarp seen today, and this belief has led scientists to research this species.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
Magikarp is found in 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. Magikarp are extremely plentiful, living in almost any region. No one really knows how this Pokémon survived, however.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Giant Magikarp.png|thumb|right|210px|A giant Magikarp in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Several episodes, the first one being in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'', involve a particular [[Magikarp salesman|salesman]] trying to sell certain Pokémon to someone. The person he is usually trying to con is [[James]] and he usually sells {{TP|Magikarp salesman|Magikarp}}, claiming that they're very valuable.

In ''[[EP092|The Joy of Pokémon]]'', a [[Nurse Joy]] from the Orange Islands befriended a giant Magikarp that saved her as a child. It evolved into an equally large Gyarados, but it remained friendly.

In ''[[EP109|The Wacky Watcher]]'', {{Ash}}, [[Misty]] and {{Tracey}} help a Pokémon Watcher named [[Quincy T. Quackenpoker]] observe the migration and evolution of a school of Magikarp.

Another, in ''[[DP021|Ya See We Want an Evolution]]'', was nicknamed the strongest. This male Magikarp was unique in that it was in fact able to battle surprisingly well, even giving Pikachu a hard time.

===Minor appearances===
Magikarp are very often seen in any underwater scene. This is most likely a reference to their extreme abundance in the games.

[[Team Rocket]] used a Magikarp-shaped submarine during the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]].

Several Magikarp appeared in ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]'' swimming along with [[Team Rocket]]'s Magikarp-shaped submarine.

{{AP|Totodile}} juggled three Magikarp with its Water Gun in ''[[EP153|Love, Totodile Style]]''

In ''[[AG092|Judgement Day]]'', a {{shiny2}} Magikarp appeared in a flashback under the ownership of {{ho|Jimmy}} and was later traded.

A Magikarp appeared in ''[[DP086|Arriving in Style!]]''.

In ''[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team]]'', Jessie used a different Magikarp which was comfirmed to be male in the second leg of the Pokémon Triathlon.

It was also seen as part of [[Lila]]'s famous "Tiger Lily Smile" background in ''[[DP095|Battling the Generation Gap!]]''.

Another Magikarp also appeared in ''[[DP140|Historical Mystery Tour!]]''.

A group of Magikarp appeared in ''[[DP151|The Needs of Three!]]''.

|golddex=An underpowered, pathetic Pokémon. It may jump high on rare occasions, but never more than seven feet.
|silverdex=For no reason, it jumps and splashes about, making it easy for predators like {{p|Pidgeotto}} to catch it mid-jump.
|stadiumdex=Whoever its opponent, and however horrible the attack it receives, all it does is {{m|Splash}} around.
|crystaldex=This weak and pathetic Pokémon gets easily pushed along rivers when there are strong currents.
|stadium2dex=An underpowered, pathetic Pokémon. It may jump high on rare occasions, but never more then seven feet.
|rubydex=Magikarp is a pathetic excuse for a Pokémon that is only capable of flopping and splashing. This behavior prompted scientists to undertake research into it.
|sapphiredex=Magikarp is virtually useless in battle as it can only splash around. As a result, it is considered to be weak. However, it is actually a very hardy Pokémon that can survive in any body of water no matter how polluted it is.
|emeralddex=Its swimming muscles are weak, so it is easily washed away by currents. In places where water pools, you can see many Magikarp deposited there by the flow.
|firereddex=It is virtually worthless in terms of both power and speed. It is the most weak and pathetic Pokémon in the world.
|leafgreendex=In the distant past, it was somewhat stronger than the horribly weak descendants that exist today.
|diamonddex=It is said to be the world's weakest Pokémon. No one knows why it has managed to survive.
|pearldex=It is unable to swim against even slow-moving currents. It always splashes about for some reason.
|platinumdex=A Magikarp living for many years can leap a mountain using Splash. The move remains useless, though.

==Trivia==
* As of {{game|Platinum}}, Magikarp is tied at the lowest (with {{p|Regigigas}}), and ironically, the highest level non-glitch Pokémon available for capture at level 1 and 100, beating out even the level 80 {{p|Arceus}} for highest. It is only available in a pond in the [[Resort Area]] with a [[Super Rod]] in Platinum, where only Magikarp can be caught and range in levels anywhere from level 1 to 100.
* Magikarp, as well as Gyarados, has been in all four regional [[Pokédex]]es.
* Even though Magikarp is said to be the weakest Pokémon in existence, there are seven Pokémon weaker than it and one equal to it in terms of [[List of Pokémon by base stats|base stat average]].
* Magikarp is one of three {{type2|Water}}s that cannot learn {{m|Surf}} (the others being {{p|Surskit}} and {{p|Wingull}}), as well as the only Water-type that cannot learn any Ice-type or Water-type [[move]]s.
* Magikarp is one of fourteen Pokémon that one could collect [[Meister|foreign Pokédex entries]] in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* Magikarp shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Feebas}}. They are both known as the Fish Pokémon.
* Even though it's listed as a freshwater Pokémon, Magikarp's abundant in oceans as well.
* Magikarp takes the shortest time to hatch out of all Pokémon.
* Every one of Magikarp's Pokédex entries talks about either its lack of strength, its tendency to {{m|Splash}}, or both.
* Magikarp's FireRed Pokédex entry remarks on its lack of power and speed. While the power part is true, Magikarp in fact sports a base 80 speed stat, making it quite fast.
* Magikarp's sprite in {{game|Platinum}} is the only one in which its mouth is closed.
* The Pokédex entries for Magikarp in Gold and HeartGold versions and Platinum version contradict each other; Gold and HeartGold versions says that Magikarp never jumps more than seven feet, whereas Platinum version states that it may jump over a mountain.
*Magikarp is the only Pokémon that can learn attacking moves but can't get [[STAB]] on any of them.
*Together with {{p|Pichu}} and {{p|Seedot}}, Magikarp is the easiest Pokémon to catch in [[Pokémon Ranger (game)|Pokémon Ranger]], with only one loop necessary.

===Origin===
Magikarp is based on a legend about how carp that leapt over the 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 Pokémon Snap, where after certain steps are taken, a Magikarp will splash it way into a waterfall where it evolves.

Magikarp may also be based on Asian carps, which are easily frightened by disturbances in water and can jump 8-10 feet in the air.
====Name origin====
Magikarp's name is a combination of ''magic'' and ''{{wp|carp}}'' (this may be mocking the Magikarp as a species, as someone with 'magic' powers is generally thought to be quite powerful, which Magikarp is not). It may also the combination of ''Magi'', the three kings from the story of the {{wp|Nativity of Jesus|Nativity}}, and ''carp''. Its Japanese name is a combination of 鯉 ''{{wp|koi}}'', carp, and the English word ''king'', giving its name an ironic slant similar to its English name.

'''Typhlosion''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''バクフーン''' ''Bakphoon'') is a {{type2|Fire}} [[Pokémon]].

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

==Biology==
Typhlosion, in appearance, becomes much different than its pre-evolutions; however, some resemblances remain. For instance, it is both a biped and a quadruped, like Cyndaquil and Quilava, respectively. The fiery vents on its back disappear, making way for a new ring of them around its neck and shoulders.

===Physiology===
Typhlosion has a somewhat bearlike physique, with bulky thighs and a collar of fire around its neck. Typhlosion’s ears are thinner compared to Quilava, and lack ear insides. Typhlosion’s face, underside, arms, and legs are a shade of cream, and its back is dark blue. The fur of a Typhlosion is very coarse and highly flame-retardant, giving it an extreme resistance to heat and fire attacks. This may also be to keep it from injuring itself during battle when using attacks such as {{m|Flamethrower}} or {{m|Flame Wheel}}. On Typhlosion’s rear is a spiky, coarse fringe of its back fur.

====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
When a Typhlosion's health drops in battle, the {{a|Blaze}} ability comes into play. This gives its {{type2|Fire}} attacks a boost of 1.5 times their normal power. Typhlosion hides behind a shimmering heat haze that it creates using its intensely hot flames. It can even generate enough heat to make any object go up in flames when angered. It can also rub its blazing fur together to cause huge, devastating explosive blasts, also capable of burning anything to cinders, and its {{m|Flame Wheel}} is second to none.

===Behavior===
Its personality has dramatically changed since it was a Cyndaquil, being rather quick-tempered and making anything go up in flames when angered. It also now is a natural biped, in contrast to its pre-evolutions. Most artwork of Typhlosion display it with its mouth open, as if yelling in fury.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Typhlosion make their nests along mountainsides and heated grasslands. However, they are rarely found in the wild, with the majority being evolved from a {{p|Cyndaquil}} that [[Professor Elm]] gives to the [[Johto]] region's beginning Trainers.

===Diet===
Typhlosion have several sharp canine teeth along their gumlines, suggesting a carnivorous diet.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Jimmy's Typhlosion.png|thumb|right|{{jo|Jimmy}}'s {{TP|Jimmy|Typhlosion}}]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Jimmy's Typhlosion]]====
Typhlosion's first anime appearance was in the ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'' special, under the ownership of {{jo|Jimmy}}. It was his [[starter Pokémon]], which he got as a {{p|Cyndaquil}} from [[Professor Elm]].

====Other====

===Minor appearances===
Typhlosion made its main series debut in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School]]'' at the [[Pokémon Trainer's School]].

Another Typhlosion appeared in ''[[AG055|Poetry Commotion]]'' under the ownership of [[Mr. Moore]], [[Flannery]]'s grandfather.

==In the manga==
{{adv|Gold}}'s Quilava evolved into [[Explotaro|Typhlosion]] to protect {{adv|Silver}}, {{adv|Crystal}}, and himself from {{p|Lugia}}.

==Trivia==
* Typhlosion is the only final form of a {{type2|Fire}} [[starter Pokémon]] that does not have two [[Elemental type|types]]: {{p|Charizard}} is {{2t|Fire|Flying}} while both {{p|Blaziken}} and {{p|Infernape}} are {{2t|Fire|Fighting}}.
** Typhlosion is also one of only two final form Fire-type Pokémon that has undergone two evolutions and does not have a secondary type, the other being {{p|Magmortar}}.
* Typhlosion has the same base stat values as {{p|Charizard}}.
* Typhlosion is the only final form of a Fire-type starter Pokémon that can only learn {{m|Flare Blitz}} by breeding. {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Blaziken}} and {{p|Infernape}} learn it by leveling up.
* Though it is a bipedal Pokémon, its [[body style]] is shared with quadrupedal Pokémon.
===Origin===
The appearance of this [[Pokémon]] is based on a {{wp|badger}} or {{wp|wolverine}}.
====Name origin====
Typhlosion's name is a combination of ''{{wp|typhoon}}'' and ''explosion''. Its name is also similar to the word ''typhus'', a Greek word meaning 'hazy' (which would describe the effect that the intense heat Typhlosion generates has on the air surrounding it), and may also be related to ''tephra'', volcanic material. The first three syllables of its Japanese name spell 爆風 ''bakufū'', blast, and the second part comes directly from typhoon.

'''Gyarados''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ギャラドス''' ''Gyarados'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Flying}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Gyarados is a large dragon Pokémon most similar in appearance to those seen in Chinese mythology. Its serpentine body is largely blue, but its underbelly and the spots along its body are yellow. It has a three-pointed, dark blue crest on its head and four white fins down its back. Its mouth is very large and gaping, but bears some resemblance to that of its pre-evolution {{p|Magikarp}}. Like Magikarp, it has barbels on its face. Its pectoral and dorsal fins also resemble Magikarp's. Gyarados is only rarely shown with its mouth closed.

====Gender differences====
A female has white barbels.

====Special abilities====
Gyarados, like most dragon-like Pokémon, has a high {{Stat|Attack}} stat, causing it to rely more on physical attacks than special ones. It is one of the few {{type2|Water}}s able to wield both {{type2|Fire}} and {{type2|Electric}} attacks. Its fangs can crush stones and its scales are harder than steel.

===Behavior===
This Pokémon bears little resemblance to its docile {{p|Magikarp|pre-evolution}}. Gyarados is infamously known for its fierce temper and wanton destructive tendencies. Once it has worked itself into a frenzy, it will not calm until everything around it is destroyed—this tendency is attributed to the dramatic structural changes its brain undergoes during evolution. It seems attracted to violence, although this Pokémon is very rarely seen in the wild. During times of human conflict Gyarados are said to appear, burning entire cities down to the ground.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
Gyarados usually live in large bodies of water, such as lakes and ponds or even seas and oceans. The [[Lake of Rage]] is the best known nesting area for Gyarados, and most famously, the [[red Gyarados]], however, they are still quite rare even in the Lake Of Rage, as they are seldom found in the wild.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Gyarados 2.jpg|thumb|210px|right|[[Misty's Gyarados]] in ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]'']]
[[File:Gyarados Hyper Beam.png|thumb|210px|[[Red Gyarados]] using {{m|Hyper Beam}}]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Misty's Gyarados]]====
[[Misty]] obtained a Gyarados after passing the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency|PIA]] test in ''[[SS002|Cerulean Blues]]''. Prior to the test, Misty was terrified of Gyarados, but in order to pass the test, she had to overcome her fear of it. In the end, she calmed and kept the Gyarados.

====[[Red Gyarados]]====
''[[EP235|Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution]]'' and ''[[EP236|Rage Of Innocence]]'' focused on a [[red Gyarados]]. It was on a destructive rampage until [[Lance]] captured it. This Gyarados appeared again in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'' to stop the feuding of {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}.

====Other====
Gyarados had a cameo appearance in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' It was then seen in ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]''. [[James]] was frustrated with his {{p|Magikarp}} and kicked it into the water. That Magikarp [[Evolution|evolved]] into a Gyarados.

Groups of Gyarados were seen from within a submarine disguised as or styled after a Gyarados by [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]'' shortly before the onset of a massive, annual tidal wave celebrated by local surfers who were apparently not aware of the annual migration. According to James, the Gyarados gathered each year in this location to lay their eggs.

A Gyarados was used in ''[[DP083|A Crasher Course in Power!]]'', under the ownership of [[Crasher Wake]].

===Minor appearances===
In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', a Gyarados owned by [[Fergus]] was one of the Pokémon that were captured and cloned by {{an|Mewtwo}}. Fergus attacked Mewtwo with Gyarados' Hyper Beam but Mewtwo turned the attack back on itself, knocking the Gyarados out. The Gyarados clone is seen again in ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''.

A Gyarados appeared in ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]''.

[[Nurse Joy]] had befriended a {{pkmn2|giant}} Magikarp that later evolved into Gyarados in ''[[EP092|The Joy of Pokémon]]''. Despite Magikarp being giant, it was regular-sized as a Gyarados.

The Magikarp that [[Dr. Quackenpoker]] had been observing evolved into Gyarados in ''[[EP109|The Wacky Watcher!]]''.

[[Trinity]] used a Gyarados in her battle against Misty in the Whirl Cup in ''[[EP217|The Perfect Match!]]''.

A Gyarados appeared in ''[[DP047|Sandshrew's Locker!]]''.

A Gyarados is used by one of the students of [[Pokémon Summer Academy]] in the second leg of the Pokémon Triathlon in ''[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team!]]''.

A Gyarados {{m|Hyper Beam|blasted Team Rocket}} away in ''[[DP138|Strategy Begins at Home!]]''.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
Gyarados debuts in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}} in its own round, ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]''. Here, an enraged one attacks its own trainer, [[Misty]], but is recaught by {{adv|Red}}, who supposedly returns it to her. The drastic change in attitude of the Pokémon was the result of a [[Team Rocket]] experiment as is shown in ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]''.

Later on, Misty traded this Gyarados to Red in exchange for Red's {{p|Krabby}}.

Gyarados is later seen with [[Lance]], using its {{m|BubbleBeam}} to shield him from the lava of [[Mt. Cerise]].

A [[Red Gyarados]] was seen in the [[Lake of Rage]] three years later, but it was caught by {{adv|Silver}}. It had the ability to control the other Gyarados in the lake.

When Red borrows {{adv|Blue}}'s {{p|Charizard}} to travel to [[Mt. Silver]], he temporarily trades his Gyarados to Blue. It later appears as one of Blue's Pokémon in {{PAV|13}}, used against {{p|Entei}}, and later part of his revealed team during the [[Gym Leader]] faceoff. Prior to the FireRed and LeafGreen saga, Blue returns Gyarados to Red.

Both Gyarados have remained on their {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s teams to this day.

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

[[Shiny Pokémon|Red]] Gyarados have appeared three times in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]], once in {{TCG|Neo Revelation}} as {{TCG ID|Neo Revelation|Shining Gyarados|65}}, once in {{TCG|EX Holon Phantoms}} as [[Gyarados ☆ δ (EX Holon Phantoms 102)|Gyarados]] {{Star}} δ, and in {{TCG|HeartGold & SoulSilver}} as {{TCG ID|HeartGold & SoulSilver|Gyarados|123}}. The most recent appearance in HeartGold & SoulSilver most likely commemorates Red Gyarados's initial appearance as a significant part of the storyline in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}.

==Game data==
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, a [[Shiny Pokémon|red]] Gyarados is featured on the TV on a program called "Search for the Red Gyarados." It is this that inspires {{ga|Lucas}} or {{ga|Dawn}} and {{ga|Barry|their rival}} to go to [[Lake Verity]], to see if there is a rare Pokémon dwelling in it.
===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}: A Gyarados appears in the [[Miracle Sea]]. He attempts to take control of the {{p|Phione}}, but is stopped by the player's team.
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}}: The same Gyarados takes on the same role as it did in Time and Darkness.

==Trivia==
* According to some Nintendo of America artwork, Gyarados was originally slated to have the English name Skullkraken, a combination of the words "skull" and "{{wp|kraken}}" (a mythological sea monster). This name would be impossible because of the games' a 10-character limit on English Pokémon names.
* Despite being part {{type2|Flying}}, it does not have wings and the only Flying-type move it can learn is {{m|Bounce}}, which is only possible via [[move tutor]] in {{game|Platinum}}. However, it has been seen flying in the {{pkmn|anime}}.
** It is shown hovering in its 3D models, but does not have the {{a|Levitate}} ability.
* In Generation II and Generation IV, Gyarados is the only 100%-certain {{shiny2}} encounter and the first of only two [[shiny Pokémon]] to be integrated into a game's plot (the second was {{mdc|Celebi|2}} in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]]).
* In the Pokémon anime, Gyarados's eyes are violet instead of the red that appears in its sprites and official artwork.
* Gyarados is one of ten non-{{t|Bug}}, {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon that cannot learn {{m|Fly}}.
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]], Gyarados is the only non-legendary boss Pokémon to speak entirely in capital letters.
* In the anime episode ''[[DP047|Sandshrew's Locker!]]'', Gyarados has the same cry as Dialga.
* In many ways, Gyarados is the [[Kanto]] counterpart of [[Hoenn]]'s {{p|Milotic}}. Both are the evolved forms of incredibly weak fish Pokémon, and both appear in times of conflict, Gyarados to destroy, Milotic to becalm. Both have base stat totals of 540 with numbers matching down to the digits, but a different distribution in their stats: Gyarados is more Physical-Attack/Special Defense based while Milotic is more of an Special-Defense/Special Attack based. They both have the same HP, Defense, and Speed.
* Along with [[Charizard]] and [[Aerodactyl]], Gyarados is commonly used by [[Dragon-type]] based gym leaders and Elite 4 members despite not actually being a true Dragon type.

===Origin===
It appears to be based on a sea dragon or {{wp|sea serpent}}. Gyarados is partially based on a legend about how carp that leapt over the 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 (which can be tied to the fact that Gyarados' pre-evolution, Magikarp, could possibly take a lot of drive and effort to legitimately evolve into Gyarados).
====Name origin====
Gyarados's name may be derived from a combination of 虐殺 ''gyakusatsu'' massacre/slaughter, and 逆境 ''gyakkyō'', hardship/adversity. Both words relate to the creature's violent nature and the hardship it experienced before evolving. The end of Gyarados' name, ドス ''dosu'', is a Japanese onomatopeic word representing the piercing of flesh, once again owing to Gyarados' violent nature. Alternatively, the ''dos'' may just indicate that it's the second in its evolutionary line.
