==Sketch==
Can {{p|Smeargle}} copy Transform with {{m|Sketch}}? --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 06:18, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
: Yes, I think it does. [[User:Tesh|Tesh]] 19:46, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
In Gen II. Otherwise, no.--[[User:Goukazaru|Goukazaru]] 23:00, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

==Shiny==
Okay, if Ditto is shiny and uses Transform on a regular Pokemon, will the transformed Ditto be Shiny? Will it be shiny if its a normal Ditto transforming into a Shiny Pokemon? What about if their both shiny?--[[User:Goukazaru|Goukazaru]] 23:00, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

If the Ditto that you're using is Shiny, YES, it will transform shiny no matter what type of Pokémon you use it on. If you use a regular Ditto on a Shiny Pokémon, NO, it will not transform shiny. --'''[[User:Theryguy512|Theryguy]][[User:Theryguy512/Contribution Page|5]][[User:Theryguy512/Mission Page|1]][[User:Theryguy512/Sandbox|2]]''' 23:03, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Actually on a wifi battle I used Transform with my mew against a shiny girantina and It was a shiny girantina.Darkmaster0 21:36, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Hunting ditto, I saw a not-shiny turn into my shiny Rapidash. It even gave the sparkle after it escaped the first pokeball. It is most definitely not shiny itself, however. {{unsigned|Ryvaken}}

==Substitute==
How about with Substitute and Baton Pass? On substitute, does ditto transform into the Substitute? If so, and it uses Baton Pass, and it gets sent back out via Baton Pass, will it still be a Ditto or the substitute? Finally, if a Pokemon transforms into Ditto, then into another Pokemon (like, say, Shedinja), and gets caught, will it be a Shedinja still, or Ditto? ---[[User:ht14|ht14]] 21:45, 12 March 2007 (GMT)
:No, it won't turn into the substitute. It'll just fail (I think). And for your last question, you're saying that the ditto transforms twice in one battle. That can't be done, unless you use a mew. And if it gets caught, It woundn't be the transformed Pokémon, it'll be the Mew. (right?)--'''[[User:Theryguy512|Theryguy]][[User talk:Theryguy512|5]][[User:Theryguy512/Contribution Page|1]][[User:Theryguy512/Similarities|2]]''' 10:51, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

== Wait, is this true? ==

"In-game, if a wild Pokémon uses Transform and is subsequently caught, it will become a Ditto, regardless of what species it originally was."

So, wait, if there's a wild Smeargle that somehow copies your Ditto's transform and you catch it, you'll have caught a Ditto, and not a Smeargle? --[[User:Someone Else|Someone Else]] 14:44, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

No, the effect of Transorm is only during the battle. {{unsigned|MathijsP}}

:If this were true as of [[Generation III]], then you'd pretty much need a [[Master Ball]] to catch the World's Edge Island {{p|Mew}} in {{v2|Emerald}}. Trust me, if that's true for [[Generation I]], then they fixed it after either that generation or [[Generation II]]. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 15:36, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

::This IS true, but *ONLY* in RBY. It was fixed for GSC.[[User:Blueapple128|Blueapple128]] 17:21, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

==Stats and other things==
I've a few queries as to what happens with transform and the following:
* Hold Items - Does the Transformed Pokémon have it's original item, or what the target is holding?
* Stats - Are they the exact same as the target with same EVs, or are they calculated on the EVs of the transformed Pokémon?
** On the same note, what happens with nature stat changes?
[[User:Gywall|'''Gywall''']]([[User_talk:Gywall|Talk]]) 09:53, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
:Right. The held item remains the same for both Pokemon. So the transformed Pokemon will still have its original item. The stats of the target, including the EV's are copied and including any stat increases/decreases. The nature of the target is also copied. [[User:Tesh|'''TESH''']][[User_talk:Tesh|'''IGIGAS''']] 17:31, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

So, wait. If you have a level 1 ditto, and you use transform against a level 100 Mewtwo, you'll have the level 100's stats, but with a level 1's HP? Or do you have the stats of a level 1 Mewtwo with the same IVs, EVs, Nature, etc? [[User:Talonos|Talonos]] 22:22, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

== Ditto ==

I battled Ditto vs. Ditto in Crystal, where my speed was higher than the opponent. What happened was that my Ditto successfully transformed, but the other Ditto didn't. Eventually, the opponent DID get into {{m|Struggle}}. So I'm confused... [[User:Ht14|ht14]] 03:52, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
:Might happen only in DP. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 05:10, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
::I guess that's true, as it's confirmed with [[Serebii.net]]...[[User:Ht14|ht14]] 22:09, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

== Transform glitch? ==

On the Ditto page, it says that there is a glitch in D/P involving Ditto using transform on the foe then keeping the foe's moveset somehow after the battle. Is this true? If it is, how do you do it? [[User:Blueapple128|Blueapple128]] 17:22, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Yes it happened to me before but i deleted the moves and brought it to a tutor and got transform again i thinl its because if you use transform then you switch out then run ayat you keep the moveset[[User:Leftywright|Leftywright]] 07:58, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

== Usage on Pokémon in the midst of a move with a semi-invulnerable turn ==
My tests indicate that Transform ''cannot'' be used on a Pokémon who is in the midst of a move with a semi-invulnerable turn like Dig, Fly, and Bounce, at least in Generation IV. However, the pages for Dig and Fly both indicate that Transform will ''not'' miss on a Pokémon using these moves. But both of those pages list this under Generation I, so the behavior may have changed in Generation IV. I don't want to simply change these pages if the behavior in older generations does not match IV. Is anyone here able to test Transform on a Pokémon using Dig or Fly in a previous generation? — [[User:Laoris|Laoris]] ([[User_Talk:Laoris|Blah]]) 18:13, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

== Transformed Sketch? ==

If a Ditto/Mew Transformed into a Smeargle, then tried to use Sketch, would it fail? And, if not, would the Sketched move stay on the Ditto/Mew that transformed? It sounds like it wouldn't work but it would be awesome to get moves other than Transform on a Ditto. --[[User:Alex S.|Alex S.]] 04:08, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

:Although I never tried it, I'm pretty sure that this actually did work in Generation II, which led to a bit of a hullabaloo over whether or not to allow moves gained like this to be included in Tournament play. However, as I've said, I've never actually done this myself. Can anyone confirm? [[User:Schreiber|Schreiber]] 23:53, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

== STAB Question ==

Will a pokémon that uses Transform and changes type(s) get STAB for the new type(s) or retain the STAB for the original type(s)? Is it the same for all generations?

[[User:White Phoenix|White Phoenix]] 03:18, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

:Now that it's not worded for a forum, I'll tell you. The Transformed Pokémon copies everything BUT the target's item, and HP. Otherwise, stats, attacks, ability, and types are the same. And because they're now a new type, they get the STAB of the copied Pokémon, but only if the moves used are the same type, just like what happens normally. '''[[Team Rocket|R.A.]] [[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Hunter]] [[User Talk:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Blade]]''' 12:47, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

== Copying IVs ==

Obviously, at one point; Ditto was able to copy its foes [[Individual Values|IVs]], at least to some extent; it was presumably the whole basis to the "Shiny Ditto Trick" In Gen I/II. However, very little information is given about the idea of copying IVs, so it makes me wonder if it still works... or even to what extent it worked to begin with. (The "Shiny Ditto Trick" was somewhat convoluted...) --[[User:Saethori|Saethori]] 23:53, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

== Copy Ability? ==

Does it copy the target's ability? I was battling a ditto recently, and i paralized it after it transformed. If it didn't copy the ability, then it would've still had limber and wouldn't have been able to be paralized, right? [[User:Morgil27|Morgil27]] 03:55, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

== Capture Method Change? ==

I was just hunting a ditto with my snorlax in front. I didn't have anyone weak enough to damage it without KOing it, so I just tried hucking balls at it. It escaped them quickly. However, to my surprise, I got one, then two wiggles out of two Heavy Balls before it escaped them. Am I right in thinking that once a pokémon uses Transform, any of the special considerations for capture aside from level (and gender, I think?) that apply for the original are applied to the Transformed one? In other words, once a pokémon Transforms, do special balls check for the new Transformed form instead of the original ditto for capture rate-increasing criteria? [[User:FerreTrip|FerreTrip]] 16:58, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
: I just caught one of the buggers after having it Transform into my gyarados, putting it to sleep with my newly-withdrawn venomoth, then hucking a Net Ball at it. Caught it right away. I think this might be further proof. (Nicknamed it "TrickyFish", btw. X3 ) [[User:FerreTrip|FerreTrip]] 17:06, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

== Exp Yield ==

From my own experience in HG/SS, it DOES copy the Pokemon's Exp Yield: I defeated two different Ditto: One used transform on Pidgeot and the other was fainted before that, and both were Level 35. The one that fainted before transforming rewarded 270 Exp where the one that was able to transform into Pidgeot rewarded 810 Exp. This wasn't the case in B/W though, because I've seen Ditto transform into nearly every Pokemon I've ever used at Giant Chasm from Emboar to Arceus, and always rewarded around 1,000 or so Exp no matter which it transformed into. [[User:Shiramu Kuromu|Shiramu Kuromu]] 23:51, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

== Chatter? ==

If a ditto transform into a chatot that knows chatter what would happen if the ditto tried to use it? [[User:Savelijah|Savelijah]] 14:08, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
:Just tested it. It works normally. Ditto always uses Chatot's default cry though, not its cry via Chatter. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 14:20, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

== Type Change ==

When transforming into a Pokémon that had been "Soaked" would Ditto take the Pokémon's original type or Water? [[User:Male gardevoir|--Wild Gardevoir ♂]] 02:28, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

== In Double battles? ==

Here's a Generation III question -- can multiple Pokemon each use Transform during a [[double battle]], long as that they are not using it on each other? --''[[User:Stratelier|Stratelier]]'' 02:24, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
:I was doing some testing last night and realized that at least in Generation V the answer is 'yes' -- I had a Smeargle and Ditto both transform into the same wild Patrat around Nacrene. --''[[User:Stratelier|Stratelier]]'' 16:56, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

== EV yield ==

Does Transform copy EV yield? [[User:Tk3141|Tk3141]] 02:05, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
:Yes, for instance, I was battling a wild Ditto with a Flareon, so it transformed into Flareon, and gave me 2 EV's in attack upon defeat. [[User:Redtroopa|Redtroopa]] ([[User talk:Redtroopa|talk]]) 16:47, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

== Mew Transform Glitch ==

Hey guys, in Pokemon Blue i was battling Blue's Gyarados with a level 19 Mew, it transformed into enemy Pokemon and, after Mew defeated Gyarados, it went up to level 20, level in which Mew learns Megapunch. At last Mew retained the Gyarados sprite but regained the old moves plus Megapunch. Should we add this case in "Oddities"? --{{unsigned|snort}}

== Pokemon Stat-enhancing Items + Transform ==

I don't know if this is worth an edit but, with the exception of Ditto's two items, a pokemon will retain the boosts from its [[Stat-enhancing item]] item even after Transformation.
i.e If Latios transformed into another Pokemon holding Soul Dew. Latios would have the Target Pokemon's stats and those stats would be boosted by Soul Dew.

:I've added it. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:29, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

==Catch rate==
For a long time catch rate had been listed as being copied in Generation I. However, this [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Transform_(move)&diff=1807740&oldid=1800616 was disproven]. I think what it might be is the item held when traded to Gen II that is copied (since this value is identical to the catch rate in Gen I). Could someone test this? --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:29, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
:It's both, I think. Maybe the person who tested it originally didn't get that Ditto's HP down as far as he thought? I no longer have a GBC Link Cable to test it with, but if either the hold item or the catch rate is changing, then they both are - since they are the same data bit. Still, from my testing in Gen I, it looks like a Ditto is much easier to catch as something with low catch rate than as something with a high catch rate. As such, I bet it does transform its hold item as well. But again, I have no way to know for sure, as I lack the ability to trade to my Gen II games. --[[User:GoldenSandslash15|GoldenSandslash15]] ([[User talk:GoldenSandslash15|talk]]) 23:52, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
::I just tested it on my Red: I encountered a L26 Ditto and had it transform into a Spearow, then got it to about 30% health and threw a Great Ball at it. The ball shook once before the Ditto broke out, whereas if it had Spearow's catch rate it would have been caught with certainty. Therefore, catch rate is definitely not copied. I can't see how you would test the Gen II item theory, though, since in a trade the Ditto appears as itself and IIRC you can't have a link battle between Gen I and Gen II games. [[User:Arcorann|Arcorann]] ([[User talk:Arcorann|talk]]) 08:12, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
:::"if either the hold item or the catch rate is changing, then they both are - since they are the same data bit" - that's not entirely true. The held item in Gen II is saved in the Pokémon's personal data structure, and in Gen I this is set to the Pokémon's catch rate upon capture; the catch rate is stored in the species data structure. As for testing it, the point I'm trying to make is that if you catch a Ditto after it transforms into a Spearow (it would need to be a Spearow caught in Gen I and has never been in Gen II), it would be holding a Berry when traded to Gen II rather than Metal Powder; or at least, that is what I'm proposing ''might'' happen. What I need is someone to try this. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 09:21, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

== "Stats" vs. "Stat levels" ==

Sorry, but I'm way confused. Assuming, first of all, that HP is entirely unaffected by it and {{a|Imposter}}:
#Are targets' stats copied exactly, or are the [[EV]]s and [[IV]]s copied, along with the base stats, and then used to calculate for the transformer's level?
#What exactly are "Stat levels"?

Thanks. [[User:Togepikachu|TogePikachu]] 14:06, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
:#The actual stats are copied. I'm not sure if it also copies IVs (such that Hidden Power changes); it would be necessary to test this in each generation.
:#I've changed "Stat levels" to "Stat modifications". It is referring to stat changes due to Growl/Swords Dance/etc. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 15:09, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

Should it really be counted as that under the Pokémon in the Anime section? I mean, we never saw it as a Pikachu...so, idk.
:It was specifically stated that Lt. Surge had evolved it from a Pikachu rather than catching it as a Raichu.

:::: This is a question that comes up frequently in my mind. Most glaringly about Lt. Surge. "He's the Lightning American" he's a military officer and he's been in a "War." I would like very much to know where these things occurred. For example: Is there an America? If we are assuming from the Anime that Japan is where many of the Pokemon games are set then we can also assume that since they go to Hollywood mention "Chinese Food" that there is a rest of the world, and it's similar to ours. Ok, so that much taken at face value...what war was he in? In Red and Blue there's some mention that there was a "War" and he was involved. in FR/LG other trainers and people claim that he saved them in the war, and that an electric Pokemon had saved him, and that he was a pilot. Possible I suppose, but then we are to glean from these tidbits, that 1) Lt. Surge is an Air Force or Navy pilot Officer, and 2) That Pokemon were used in warfare at least at some point in history. Which is the part of the Pokemon history I want to see cannon material about. --[[User:Ginocoolowski|Ginocoolowski]] 20:52, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

== Japanese name ==

Is it possible that his Japanese is spelt like ''Matisse'' instead of ''Machisu''. It said that his Korean name is a transliteration of Matisse so why couldn't his Japanese name be the same? I believe Machisu can be a transliteration of Matisse.

As for why they named him Matisse, I think it might have to do with [http://www.matissesoftware.com/index.html the software company] and not the actual {{wp|Henri Matisse|artist}}. I think it's worth investigating. --[[Special:Contributions/Kenji-girl|☆]][[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 21:37, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

== Poké Ball that Lt. Surge is holding ==

I was doing some edits on some sprites for a webcomic, and I noticed the colors on Lt. Surge's Poké Ball on the Fire Red and Leaf Green sprite. What Poké Ball is he holding? Does anyone know? [[User:Pokedex493|Pokedex493]] 20:06, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

[[File:Spr FRLG Lt Surge.png]]
:There's six pixels of color there. It's practically impossible to make out what kind of ball it is. Besides, it's probably not significant. Sprites have a limit on the number of colors they can contain, and to save space they probably just used a color from elsewhere on the sprite (in this case, the shading on his hair). --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] [[User talk:AndyPKMN|(talk)]] 20:36, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

== "Lt. Surge" is American . Is this explanation described only in a original Japanese version? ==

'''Pokémon Stadium''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンスタジアム'''), sometimes known as '''Pokémon Stadium 0''' among English-speaking fans to distinguish it from the later sequels, is the first game of the Stadium series, and was released in Japan in 1998. This version featured only 42 {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} instead of all of the 151 [[Generation I]] Pokémon. As a result, not even every [[evolution]] family was included. This game was originally intended to make the finals of the tournaments held in Japan available for those who didn't participate in them, so that they could challenge the finalists with their own Pokémon. The demand for a complete game was high so an [[Nintendo 64DD]] expansion disk was announced shortly before the release of the game. As the 64DD was a commercial failure, a sequel with all of the Generation I Pokémon (known as the original {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}} elsewhere in the world) was released instead.

==Gameplay==
The game starts with a keyboard, and it asks if the player or players would like to use their Game Boy Pokémon. If not, the player can only access the Battle Mode.<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_npsj/qa/qa.html Pokémon Stadium Q&A, Question 3 (Japanese)]</ref>
*'''Battle''' ('''バトル'''): Players can battle against other humans or computer-controlled opponents.
*'''Organize''' ('''せいとん'''): Players can transfer Pokémon and items between their [[party]], [[Pokémon Storage System|PC boxes]], and storage boxes in the game.
*'''List''' ('''いちらん'''): A list of a player's Pokémon and their stats can be examined.
*'''Pokédex''' ('''ずかん''', or '''[[Pokédex|Encyclopedia]]'''): Players can view their Pokédex in 3D.
*'''Register''' ('''とうろく'''): A team can be registered.
*'''Party''' ('''てもち'''): The player can examine their current party.
*'''GB''' ('''[[Game Boy Tower]]''' in international versions): A [[Generation I]] game can be played on the Nintendo 64.

Many of these features were integrated into [[Pokémon_Stadium_(English)#Oak.27s_Lab|Oak's Lab]] in future Pokémon Stadium games.

[[Image:Japanpkmnstadium.jpg‎|thumb|240px|The main menu. An error message that tells the player that the game has not/cannot access game data from a Generation 1 game cartridge.]]

==Battle Mode==
Battle Mode features two modes: '''Free Battle''' ('''フリーバトル''') and '''Tournament''' ('''トーナメント''').

===Free Battle===
In Free Battle, a player can battle against another human or a computer-controlled player under one of three rulesets: the L1-30 Division, the L50-55 Division, or Free Battle, where Pokémon of any level may be used.

There are eight pre-set Trainers with Pokémon ranging from [[level]] 20 to 100.

===Tournament===
This mode features two tournaments based upon [[Rule_variants#Japanese_tournaments|official Pokémon tournaments]].
*L1-30 Division: This tournament is based on the [[Rule_variants#Japanese_tournaments|Nintendo Cup '98]]. There are four divisions: the Poké Ball, {{tt|Great|Super}} Ball, {{tt|Ultra|Hyper}} Ball, and Master Ball.
*L50-55 Division: This tournament is based on the [[Rule_variants#Japanese_tournaments|Nintendo Cup '97]]. The total levels of the three Pokémon selected cannot exceed 155. The opponents in this mode are based on actual competitors in the 1997 tournament.

Unlike future Pokémon Stadiums, there are no Continues.

The credits roll after a tournament is cleared.

After one of the tournaments is cleared, the player obtains a Doduo Game Boy upgrade that allows the Game Boy games to be played with frame skip at double speed. When both tournaments are cleared, the Dodrio Game Boy is obtained, allowing the games to be played with frame skip at triple speed.

==Pokémon==
Pocket Monsters Stadium only featured 42 Pokémon available for play. Most of these Pokémon were used in official tournaments, with a few Pokémon added for type balance. <ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_npsj/qa/qa.html Pokémon Stadium Q&A, Question 1 (Japanese)]</ref> Below is a list of the Pokémon that were included in the game.

While the other 109 Pokémon cannot be used in battle, their 3D sprites can still be viewed in the other modes.

==Special Pokémon==
If the player clears the Master Ball division of the L1-30 Division with a {{p|Pikachu}} in his or her party, the Pikachu can learn Surf. A Surfing Pikachu can also be [[Pokémon_Stadium_(English)#Surf_Pikachu|obtained]] in the [[Pokémon Stadium (English)|international Pokémon Stadium]].

==Trivia==
* From the start, Nintendo had no plans on making a sequel or an expansion to this. The game was foremost a promotional game to increase the main series popularity. The stadium's sole purpose was to enable battling in 3D. The demand for a Pokémon 3D game on the N64 was answered with a separate project that Game Freak worked on simultaneously during the development of this game.
* {{p|Pikachu}} is the only Pokémon allowed to battle in this game that can still evolve in [[Generation I]]; in fact, {{p|Raichu}} does not appear in the game at all.
* The game received a lot of criticism because of the difficulty of this game. Mostly because in L1-30 Division lots of the opponents' Pokémon had powerful moves like Blizzard even though none of the rentals had them.
* This is the only game of the Stadium-series where {{p|Pikachu}} can learn Surf in the Japanese versions.
* The game is compatible with {{game|Yellow}} despite being released beforehand. A similar situation exists with {{g|Colosseum}}, which contains 3D models of the [[player characters]] from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} even though Colosseum was released several months beforehand.
* During the credits, {{p|Caterpie}}, {{p|Weedle}}, {{p|Hitmonchan}}, {{p|Hitmonlee}}, {{p|Clefairy}}, and {{p|Jigglypuff}} are shown battling, even though these Pokémon cannot be used in the game.
* The game's name may be a reference to {{jwp|64マリオスタジアム|64 Mario Stadium}}, a Nintendo-centric Japanese variety show that featured televised coverage of Pokémon tournaments.

'''Cerulean Cape''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ハナダのみさき|Hanada no Misaki}}''' ''{{tt|Hanada|Cerulean}} Cape'') is the unofficial name given to the northeastern-most point in the region of [[Kanto]] located at the east end of {{rt|25|Kanto}}. This location is home to [[Bill]] in the Sea Cottage (in the games) or [[Bill's Lighthouse|his lighthouse]] (in the anime) and is a popular spot for trainers and tourists alike. Many couples consider it a prime dating spot.

==Sea Cottage==
The Sea Cottage (Japanese: '''みさきのこや''' ''Cape Cottage'') is a small building located in the northeast of Kanto. It is on Cerulean Cape and is home to [[Bill]].

===In the games===
[[File:Billshouse.png|thumb|left|Sea Cottage in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}]]
[[File:Seacottage.png|thumb|right|The Sea Cottage in [[Generation III]]]]
In Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|III}}, the Sea Cottage is home to Bill. He was experimenting with his cellular teleportation device when he was accidentally turned into a {{p|Clefairy}}. After he is rescued, the player is rewarded with a ticket for the [[S.S. Anne]]. Also, Bill will insist that the player look at the rare Pokémon on his computer, {{p|Eevee}}, {{p|Flareon}}, {{p|Jolteon}} and {{p|Vaporeon}}.

In Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}, Bill's grandfather is housesitting and will ask players to show him certain Pokémon. In return, he will give out certain [[evolutionary stone]]s.

In [[Generation IV]], there is an area next to Bill's Sea Cottage. It is where {{p|Suicune}} can be found and caught after it has finished wandering throughout [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]].

===In the anime===
While the Sea Cottage does not appear in the anime, the [[Bill's Lighthouse|lighthouse]] in ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'' fills the same purpose as the home of Bill. {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|co.}} first stumbled across the lighthouse after he captured his {{AP|Krabby|Kingler}} and it disappeared. When [[Brock]] explained that Krabby was being sent to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], Ash immediately wanted to call him to see if Krabby made it safely. Spotting the lighthouse, the gang decided to trek there.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
The Sea Cottage debuts in ''[[PS009|...But Fearow Itself!]]'' in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}} as Bill's home and where he makes all his inventions. Bill is transformed into a mutated {{p|Rattata}} when he was fixing one of his two Pokémon Transporters. The round doesn't show another machine inside, but it has an antenna in its roof. When Bill was a mutated Rattata he got snatched by a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Fearow}} which {{adv|Red}} later captures. Later Bill is turned back to normal with the help of Red.

* [[Misty]], the [[Cerulean City]] [[Gym Leader]], likes to bring her dates to the cape on the east side of Route 25. One such date was interrupted in [[Generation II]] when the {{player}} encountered Misty at the land bridge between the two ponds following the restoration of power to Kanto. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the date instead takes place on the hill located just east of the cottage.
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Misty mentions how she loves watching the sunset when talking to her, yet she is on the east coast staring off into the east, while the sun would set in the west.

'''Charmeleon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''リザード''' ''Lizardo'') is a {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Charmander}} starting at [[level]] 16, and evolves into {{p|Charizard}} starting at level 36.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Charmeleon is a bipedal, reptilian creature similar to Charmander. It has crimson scales that are much darker than that of the bright orange Charmander. It has a tail with the tip burning with fire, a trait seen in many {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon, especially the Charmander evolutionary line. Its skull has developed a horn-like protrusion to the rear and its mouth has elongated into a snout. Its front and back claws are far sharper and longer than Charmander.
====Gender differences====
None.
====Special abilities====
Charmeleon can {{m|Flamethrower|breathe fire}}. This fire is much hotter than Charmander's. This is a result of a larger flame burning at the tip of its tail than that of Charmander's.

It possesses incredibly large claws which it utilizes in its powerful {{m|Slash}} attack. Its tail is also very powerful, having enough strength to lift an adult man.

===Behavior===
Charmeleon tend to be stubborn, bad-tempered, and simply hot-headed. Due to their incredible power at such a low level, they can easily feel they are better than their trainers and will sometimes disregard attack commands. When tame, however, they are a formidable opponent and a loyal partner. Wild Charmeleon are ready to evolve when they begin to travel in different areas battling random opponents, and the flames on their tails begin to flash larger.

===Habitat===
[[File:Mountain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon}}]]
Charmeleon are rare in the wild, but thrive in harsh environments such as craggy mountains and active volcanoes. Charmeleon also dwell in large numbers in abandoned mines and heated valleys. It is most likely to be found in [[Kanto]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Charmeleon when in the wild will hunt solitary much unlike Charmander who hunt in packs. Their diet consists that of the average omnivorous Pokémon diet.

==In the anime==
===Major appearances===
[[File:Ritchie_Zippo.png|thumb|right|Charmeleon in the anime]]
===={{AP|Ash's Charmeleon|Charizard}}====
{{Ash}}'s {{p|Charmander}} evolved into Charmeleon in ''[[EP043|March of the Exeggutor Squad]]''. It quickly grew unruly and disobedient and evolved into {{AP|Charizard}} soon after, in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''.

====[[Zippo|Ritchie's Charmeleon (Zippo)]]====
[[Ritchie]]'s Charmander, nicknamed [[Zippo]], evolved into a Charmeleon off-screen and was first seen in its evolved form in ''[[EP221|A Parent Trapped]]''.

====Other====
In ''[[EP087|The Crystal Onix]]'', [[Mateo]] used a Charmeleon to make glass and battle the titular Crystal {{p|Onix}}.

[[Sam]] used a Charmeleon in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'' to battle the [[Iron-Masked Marauder]].

A Charmeleon also appeared under the ownership of a trainer named {{ho|Jimmy}} in ''[[AG092|Judgment Day]]''.

Charmeleon also appeared in ''[[AG191|Once More With Reeling]]''.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Blue Charmeleon Adventures.png|thumb|right|Blue's Charmeleon]]
{{main|Blue's Charizard}}
Charmeleon debuts in ''[[PS005|Onix is On!]]'', part of the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}, battling in the [[Pewter Gym]] as one of {{adv|Blue}}'s Pokémon. It evolved from Charmander sometime between ''[[PS003|The Secret of Kangaskhan]]'' and this round. It has since evolved into {{p|Charizard}} with Blue's harsh training, and became even more powerful, assisting in the defeat of both the [[Team Rocket]] triads [[Koga]] and Sabrina, and continued to act as the powerhouse for both Blue and {{adv|Red}}, in the two times it was (temporarily) traded to him since then.

===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===
In [[Pokémon Zensho]], {{Zensho|Satoshi}} has a Charmeleon that evolved from the Charmander he received from {{adv|Professor Oak}}. It later evolves again into Charizard.

==Trivia==
* Charmeleon and {{p|Charizard}} share the same [[species]] name as {{p|Flareon}}, {{p|Moltres}}, and {{p|Infernape}}. They are all known as Flame Pokémon.
* Charmeleon is one of the two members of a Generation I evolution family of a starter Pokémon not to have appeared in the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series. The other member is {{p|Wartortle}}.
* Charmeleon and its evolution family are the only Pokémon who have flames as part of their bodies that do not go out naturally (with the Pokémon still being alive).
** However, in the console games, if the Pokémon is afflicted by a {{status|freeze}}, its flame will effectively stop burning.
* In Generation I, Charmeleon is capable of learning {{m|Leer}}. However, in Generation II and onwards, this move is replaced by {{m|Scary Face}}.
* Curiously, Charmeleon can learn {{m|Metal Claw}} via leveling up in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, but in Generation IV it can only learn it as an egg move, however this is most likely to make Brock easier to deal with.

===Origin===
Charmeleon resembles a small dinosaur with remnants of {{p|Charmander}}'s {{wp|salamander}}-like appearance. Although its nomenclature suggests commonality with the {{wp|chameleon}}, Charmeleon exhibits very few of the major physiologically distinguishing traits of the chameleon. Charmeleon hasn't the specialized {{wp|Dactyly#Zygodactyly|zygodactylic}} feet, separately mobile eyes, extrudable tongue, or the ability to {{wp|Chameleon#Change of color|change color}} like some members of the chameleon species. The few characteristics it does share are the similarly looking snout, a prominent head crest (which resembles a small horn in its Generation I back sprite), and extensive use of its tail. Chameleons have {{wp|prehensile}} tails used for climbing and grasping, while Charmeleon utilizes its tail as a weapon.

====Name origin====
Charmeleon's name is a portmanteau of the word ''char'', to burn, and ''{{wp|chameleon}}''. Its Japanese name is a corruption of the Katakana spelling of ''lizard''.
