==In the anime==
An Amulet Coin appeared in ''[[BW133|Capacia Island UFO!]],'' where it was found by {{Ash}}. Later, when he and {{TRT}} entered a UFO belonging to a group of Beheeyem, the Beheeyem told them that they lost an item looking like the Amulet Coin that was a vital part in getting the UFO to fly. Ash gave them the Amulet Coin he found, but it was not the right item. Instead, the Beheeyem sought a similar-looking item, which was found by [[James]] earlier on.

In ''[[BW134|The Journalist from Another Region!]]'', a Pokémon Sumo tournament was held during the Harvest Festival on [[Harvest Island]], and the prize was a Focus Band. Eventually it was won by Ash, who gave it to his {{AP|Pignite}} to wear.

In ''[[XY059|Under the Pledging Tree!]]'', a Rocky Helmet was one of the items offered to Ash by a market vendor in [[Coumarine City]] after Ash had wondered out loud what presents he should buy for an upcoming festival.

[[File:Air Balloon PBW.png|thumb|160px|Air Balloon in Be the Best! Pokémon B+W]]
===In the Be the Best! Pokémon B+W manga===
An Air Balloon appeared in ''[[PBW4|Challenge the Battle Subway!]]'', being held by [[Monta's Snivy]].

===In the Pocket Monsters Platinum: Aim to Be Battle King!! manga===
In ''[[PBK2|Walkthrough! Battle Tower!!]]'', [[Yū Shirogane|Yū]] had given his {{TP|Yū Shirogane|Infernape}} a Focus Sash to hold, allowing it to survive a {{p|Golem}}'s {{m|Earthquake}} at the {{OBP|Battle Tower|Generation IV}} and then defeat it with a {{m|Grass Knot}}.

In ''[[PBK7|Yū vs. Shin, Rival Showdown!!]]'', {{OBP|Shin|PBK}} had given his {{p|Wailord}} Choice Specs to hold, allowing its powered-up {{m|Water Spout}} to defeat Yū's {{p|Heatran}}. However, this strategy was turned against Shin when Yū used his {{p|Quagsire}}, whose {{a|Water Absorb}} rendered Water Spout useless, thus allowing Yū to snatch a victory from his [[rival]].

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}, six Focus Band were used by {{adv|Gold}} on his team against the [[Masked Man]].

Leftovers was seen various times in the {{chap|Emerald}} as a held item for various Pokémon, debuting in ''[[PS306|Pinsir Me, I Must Be Dreaming]]'', where it was used by a virtual Trainer's {{pkmn2|rental}} {{p|Aggron}} in the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Factory}}. One was also held by the {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}} that {{adv|Emerald}} rented for his battle with {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}}, as well as {{FB|Arena Tycoon|Greta}}'s {{p|Umbreon}} in ''[[PS317|Sneaky Like Shedinja]]''.

A Choice Band was the item held by the {{p|Linoone}} Emerald rented from the Battle Factory in ''[[PS306|Pinsir Me, I Must Be Dreaming]]''. It was used to strengthen its {{m|Frustration}} in some of its matches. This item later proved to be instrumental in taking down Noland's {{p|Mawile}} when Linoone used {{m|Trick}} to switch items with Mawile.

A Quick Claw was held by the {{p|Metagross}} Emerald borrowed from {{adv|Crystal}} for his battle against {{FB|Dome Ace|Tucker}} in ''[[PS323|A Cheeky Charizard Change-Up I]]'', allowing it to outspeed Tucker's {{p|Charizard}} and hit it with a super-effective {{m|Rock Tomb}}. This wasn't enough to knock out the Flame Pokémon, however, and Charizard was able to defeat Metagross with {{m|Overheat}}.

An Iron Ball appeared in the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}. {{adv|Diamond}} and {{adv|Pearl}} found it amongst the metal items drawn out of the ground in [[Celestic Town]] by the {{a|Magnet Pull|magnetic field}} from [[Cyrus]]'s {{p|Magnezone}}. It later appeared as an item that was used in conjunction with {{adv|Lax}}'s {{m|Fling}} in {{adv|Platinum}}'s battle against [[Fantina]] in ''[[PS373|Mirages of Mismagius II]]''.

A Zoom Lens was seen in ''[[PS356|Magnificent Meditite & Really Riolu I]]'' as a prize Diamond won in the [[Veilstone Game Corner]] using the [[Coin]]s {{adv|Platinum}} won from the [[slot machine]]s. Platinum tried the Zoom Lens on [[Chimler]] for training.

A Focus Sash was seen held by {{FB|Castle Valet|Darach}}'s {{p|Houndoom}} in ''[[PS420|Getting the Drop on Gallade II]]'', allowing it to survive a super-effective {{m|Focus Blast}} by {{adv|Platinum}}'s {{p|Lopunny}}. Platinum also rented a Focus Sash for her {{TP|Platinum|Empoleon}} to hold in the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation IV)|Battle Castle}}.

A Power Herb was held by {{adv|Cheren}}'s {{p|Unfezant}} in ''[[PS514|The Tournament Continues]]''. This allowed Unfezant to bypass the charging turn of its {{m|Sky Attack}} and quickly defeat [[Leo]]'s {{p|Deino}}.

'''Surskit''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アメタマ''' ''Ametama'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Water}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
Surskit is a blue insectoid Pokémon. Its body is round and has four long, skinny legs extending from it. It secretes oil from the tips of its feet, which enables it to walk on water as if it were skating. It has a yellow cap with a single antenna that can secrete a thick, sugary syrup or a sweet scent. The syrup is exuded when danger is sensed, while the scent is used to attract prey. Its eyes are dark and circular, and have small semicircular pink markings under them. It is known to inhabit {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|ponds, rivers, and similar wetlands}}, where is feeds on microscopic, aquatic organisms.

==In the anime==

===Major appearances===
Surskit first appeared in ''[[AG049|Maxxed Out!]]''. It was owned by a boy named {{OBP|Max|AG049}}, the [[doppelgänger‎]] of [[Max|May's little brother]], who intends for it to be his [[starter Pokémon]]. This made May's brother jealous as he did not know what his starter Pokémon would be at that time.

In ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', a Surskit was owned by [[Audrey and Kathryn|Kathryn]]. The Pond Skater Pokémon's only major role was helping to rotate the fan blades of the windmills in [[LaRousse City]].

{{an|May}} faced against a Surskit in the [[Izabe Island]] Contest during ''[[AG103|A Cacturne for the Worse]]''. [[Harley]] tricked May into thinking that Surskit was an extremely slow Pokémon and nearly lost due to this lie.

A {{pkmn|Coordinator}} named [[Brianna]] used a Surskit in the appeals round of the [[Pokémon Contest]] in ''[[AG162|Spontaneous Combusken]]''.

A Surskit appeared in ''[[XY005|A Blustery Santalune Gym Battle!]]'', under the ownership of [[Viola]]. It managed to defeat [[Ash's Pikachu]] with Signal Beam, but was defeated by Fletchling later. It reappeared in [[XY006|the next episode]] where it was now defeated by Pikachu. It appeared again in ''[[XY020|Breaking Titles at the Chateau!]]'' where it battled [[Grant]]'s {{p|Onix}} at the [[Battle Chateau]] but was defeated.

===Minor appearances===
A Surskit appeared in ''[[DP089|Up Close and Personable!]]''

Multiple Surskit made a brief appearance in ''[[DP176|Coming Full-Festival Circle!]]''.

Multiple Surskit appeared in ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'', living in Crown City.

A group of Surskit also appeared in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'' at [[Pokémon Hills]].

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Surskit.
** Surskit has the same two types that are most effective when using a {{ball|Net}}. However, it does not get a further bonus for having both.
** Surskit is the only Pokémon with a unique type combination that loses this distinction upon evolution.
** Because of its unique type combination, Surskit is the only Pokémon to resist both [[Ice (type)|Ice]] and [[Ground (type)|Ground]] type moves via typing alone.
* Surskit and {{p|Masquerain|its evolution}} are the only Pokémon to be in both the {{egg|Bug}} and {{egg|Water 1}} [[Egg Group]]s.
* Surskit is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 269.

===Origin===
This {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} is based on the {{wp|water strider}}.

====Name origin====
Surskit is a combination of ''surface'' or ''surf'' and ''skitter'' (moving in a hurried or twitchy manner).

Ametama may be a combination of 雨 ''ame'' (rain) and 玉 ''tama'' (sphere) or 魂 ''tama'' (spirit). It may also involve アメンボ ''amenbo'' (pond skater) and 飴玉 ''amedama'' (candy).

'''Wide Guard''' (Japanese: '''ワイドガード''' ''Wide Guard'') is a non-damaging {{type|Rock}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation V]].

==Effect==
===Generation V===
Wide Guard protects all Pokémon on the user's side of the field from damaging moves that target multiple Pokémon during that turn, even ones that also strike allies (even if used by an ally) such as {{m|Earthquake}} and {{m|Surf}}. Wide Guard cannot block [[status move]]s that target multiple Pokémon, such as {{m|Dark Void}} and {{m|Teeter Dance}}. Wide Guard will block these moves even in single battle.

Using Wide Guard, {{m|Quick Guard}}, {{m|Detect}}, {{m|Protect}}, or {{m|Endure}} consecutively decreases the chance of success by 50% for each successful use.

This move has +3 [[priority]], so will be executed before most other moves.

{{m|Feint}} and {{m|Shadow Force}} lift the effect of Wide Guard when successfully used on an opponent's team.

===Generation VI===
Wide Guard can now be used consecutively without failing, although it still decreases the chance of success for {{m|Protect}}, {{m|Detect}}, {{m|Endure}}, {{m|King's Shield}}, and {{m|Spiky Shield}}.

{{m|Hyperspace Fury}}, {{m|Hyperspace Hole}}, and {{m|Phantom Force}} will lift the effect of Wide Guard from the target's team when used successfully. Feint and Shadow Force now lift the effect of Wide Guard from all allies, if they hit an ally.

==Description==

Tier

2009-12-23T06:46:51Z

RegalStar: (Has anyone realized that the marriland tier list is over two years old? Platinum is younger for heaven's sake... Also fixed a grammar error.)

'''Tiers''' are an attempt by players to classify characters in a game by their competitive ability. They can be found in any game with variable characters, including [[Pokémon games|Pokémon]] and [[Super Smash Bros.]] The existence of tiers can be controversial as skill is usually has more impact on the outcome of a match. As such, tiers should be seen as a classification of each character's competitive potential at the height of the metagame.

==Tiers in Pokémon==
Pokémon features hundreds of species available for use, all varying in their base statistics and moveset potential. There are currently six tiers with various fansites individually deciding the Pokémon assumed to be in those tiers, most notably [[Smogon]]. The Pokémon tier list has received much criticism, because there is no "official" tier list for Pokémon.

Most battles are conducted using every tier except Uber. However, it is common for some battles to maintain use in one tier only. Usually Under-Used only, or Never-Used only.

===Uber===
The Uber tier is not designed to be balanced, its purpose is to be a banlist for OU and the other tiers, however this does not mean it is not, or cannot be played. Pokémon in the Uber tier are deemed too powerful or centralizing to be used fairly among other Pokémon. A common misconception, especially among players new to competitive battling, is that Uber tier contains all, or only, [[legendary Pokémon]]. While it is true that a majority of the accepted Ubers are indeed legendary, some are not and many legendary Pokemon are far from being Uber.

While most Pokémon in the Uber tier are there for their ability to power through teams or be defensive behemoths, {{p|Wobbuffet}} is included primarily because of its {{a|Shadow Tag}} [[ability]], along with {{m|Encore}}, which lets it trap any opponent Pokémon and lock them into any move, giving a free turn of set-up for any Pokémon, or giving an almost free kill with {{m|Counter}} or {{m|Mirror Coat}} which let it reflect most moves back. Tickle+Encore allows Wobbuffet to bring a slow Pokemon using a setup move down to -6 Defense with almost no risk, ready for a Pursuit user to switch in and KO. Wobbuffet's pre-evolution, {{p|Wynaut}}, is sometimes banned for similar reasons. {{p|Garchomp}} is another non-legendary that some fans consider for the list due to its high stats, brilliant movepool, and great typing.

===Over-Used===
Over-used, commonly abbreviated as "'''OU'''", refers to Pokémon that are most commonly seen in [[standard play]]. It is a misconception that all OU Pokémon are the most powerful in the game. OU is a term based on usage; however, there is a distinct correlation between usage and usefulness in the system.

There are exceptions to this such as {{p|Magneton}} in [[Generation III]], where it was considered an OU Pokémon merely because it was used primarily as a counter for {{p|Skarmory}}; a Pokémon commonly seen due to its high defense, low weaknesses, and stall-based movepool. The introduction of {{p|Magnezone}}, an evolution of Magneton, solidified its place in OU, due to increased stats, and a broader movepool.

===Borderline===
Pokémon in Borderline, commonly referred to as "'''BL'''", are considered by some to be too strong for Under-Used, but may be found in some OU battles. They are classified as BL because they generally do not have the capacity to compete in solid OU consistently due mostly to stats, weak movepools, or metagame shifts that makes the niche of the Pokémon less needed.

===Under-Used===
Under-Used, commonly referred to as "'''UU'''", designates Pokémon whose use is limited as they are not strong enough for general OU competition, usually due to sub-standard stats, movepools, easily exploitable weaknesses, or the existence of a stronger Pokémon that do nearly the same job as the UU Pokémon, making players use the stronger Pokémon instead of the UU Pokémon, giving it little use. UU Pokémon can, and are, used in OU battle, but are usually recommended by some solely for UU-type battles.

===Never-Used===
As the name implies, Never-Used, commonly referred to as "'''NU'''", is for Pokémon that have problems competing even in UU due to dismal stats and/or movepools. This is where most [[novelty Pokémon]] reside in tiers as well as Pokémon found early in a player's journey. They are recommended by most only for use in NU only battles. However, most NU Pokémon are very common among [[Pokémon Contest|contest]] [[Pokémon Coordinator|coordinator]]s.

===Not Fully Evolved===
This tier is more commonly known as "'''NFE'''", and as the name implies, contains almost every Pokémon that has not yet reached its final [[evolution]]. As such, they are rarely, if ever, used in competitive play, with very few exceptions.

==Tier variations==
Some Pokémon are listed in tiers but are sometimes used in competitive play outside of their own tier because they have a change during evolution that modified their disposition enough to allow them to stay competitive, even some in an unevolved state.
* {{p|Porygon2}}, which is due to its evolution, {{p|Porygon-Z}} having lower {{stat|Defense}}s, meaning Porygon2 can be used a [[Appendix:Metagame terminology#Wall|wall]], while its evolution can not.
* [[Stat-enhancing item#Light Ball|Light Ball]] {{p|Pikachu}} is also due to the Light Ball doubling Pikachu's Attack stats, as well as Pikachu being a very common fan favorite.
* {{p|Magneton}} as previously stated is still used in lower tiers because it still carries the ability to trap and Steel-type with {{a|Magnet Pull}}. However, some people use Magneton simply because its faster than its evolution, {{p|Magnezone}}.
* {{p|Marowak}} when used in battles when items are not allowed. Although it is fully evolved, a [[Stat-enhancing item#Thick Club|Thick Club]] doubles its Attack, greatly increasing its power. However, without the item, its base attack remains 80, putting it in UU, or NU in some cases.

'''Baton Pass''' (Japanese: '''バトンタッチ''' ''Baton Touch'') is a non-damaging {{type2|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation II]].

==Effect==
Baton Pass switches out the user, passing all temporary [[stat]] increases and decreases on to the Pokémon that replaces it in battle. Even moves that ensure hits such as {{m|Lock-On}} are passed. {{m|Substitute}}s, volatile battle [[status ailment]]s such as {{status|Confusion}}, {{m|Aqua Ring}}, {{m|Ingrain}}, and the effects of other moves that prevent ordinary switching (e.g., {{m|Mean Look}}) can also be passed.

No matter what [[Poké Ball]] the user was captured in, the animation will always display a normal Poké Ball.

==Trivia==
* In {{Game|Crystal}}, it could learn {{M|Water Gun}} through {{Pkmn|breeding}}, probably a reference to elephants. Elephants suck water up into the trunk and then blow it into their mouth. Also, they inhale water to spray on their body during bathing. However, in later games, it can't learn Water Gun at all. It cannot even learn {{m|Water Pulse}} via TM 03.
* Although it is a {{type2|Ground}} Pokémon, it learns no Ground-type moves by level-up.

===Origin===
This [[Pokémon]] is based on an elephant calf.

====Name origin====
Phanpy's name is derived from the word ''{{wp|elephant}}''. ''Gomazou'' is probably a combination of 当歳駒 ''tōsaigoma'', yearling, and 象 ''zō'', elephant. ''Phan'' obviously comes from ''elephant'' so ''-py'' might have been added to designate Phanpy's name in the diminutive to reflect its small size and its infantile appearance.

==Trivia==
* In {{Game|Crystal}}, it could learn {{M|Water Gun}} through {{Pkmn|breeding}}, probably a reference to elephants. Elephants suck water up into the trunk and then blow it into their mouth. Also, they inhale water to spray on their body during bathing. However, in later games, it can't learn Water Gun at all. It cannot even learn {{m|Water Pulse}} via TM 03.
* Although it is a {{type2|Ground}} Pokémon, it learns no Ground-type moves by level-up.

===Origin===
This [[Pokémon]] is based on an elephant calf.

====Name origin====
Phanpy's name is derived from the word ''{{wp|elephant}}''. ''Gomazou'' is probably a combination of 当歳駒 ''tōsaigoma'', yearling, and 象 ''zō'', elephant. ''Phan'' obviously comes from ''elephant'' so ''-py'' might have been added to designate Phanpy's name in the diminutive to reflect its small size and its infantile appearance.

'''Pikachu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ピカチュウ''' ''Pikachu'') is an {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pichu}} by [[happiness]], and evolves into {{p|Raichu}} when exposed to a {{stone|Thunderstone}}.

Pikachu is popularly known as the mascot of the [[Pokémon]] franchise.

It is the [[version mascot]] of {{game|Yellow}}, where it is the only [[starter Pokémon]] in that game, and has made numerous appearences on the boxes of spin-off titles.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
A Pikachu is a short, chubby, ground-dwelling rodent notable for its Electric abilities. Pikachu have short, yellow fur with brown stripes on the back, black-tipped ears, along with an unusually shaped tail, resembling a lightning bolt. Besides its evolution and pre-evolution, it may be related to {{p|Plusle}}, {{p|Minun}}, and {{p|Pachirisu}}, due to notable physical similarities.

Pikachu are known to have acute senses of hearing, thanks to their large ears. Most domestic Pikachu are very intelligent, understanding and interpreting human speech at levels far surpassing those of any pet dog.

In ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'', when [[Ash's Pikachu]] was injured, it was shown to have a heart rate of 156.
====Gender differences====
A female Pikachu has a small "dent" at the end of its tail that resembles a heart.

===Special abilities===
Exclusive to the Pikachu's subspecies is the ability to release electric {{m|discharge}}s of varying intensity, at will, through electric sacs in its cheeks. This electric energy can be manipulated into a variety of [[Moves|techniques]] which are mostly used in {{pkmn|battle}}, but which can be used to roast berries as well.

As Pikachu build up energy in their electricity glands, it often needs to discharge, as to not result in a short, or worse, which can lead to physical {{status|Paralysis|Paralysis}}, or in severe cases, death. Pikachu release the built-up energy through their tail, which acts as a grounding rod, to safely remove unneeded energy. A sure sign to tell if a location is inhabited by Pikachu is to look for patches of burnt grass, which is the result of the discharge. Through an inability to release a buildup of electricity, a Pikachu may develop a rare condition similar to the human flu. This illness is most often caused by strong nearby electro-magnetic forces, which severely impact the electric glands. If a Pikachu is introduced to a magnet, it will be attracted towards its cheeks, and display other common attributes of magnetism.

Pikachu and its evolution family, {{p|Pichu}} and {{p|Raichu}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Volt Tackle}}. In a few rare cases, Pikachu can learn to manipulate {{t|Water}} and, with the help of a surfboard, perform the move {{m|Surf}}. Other rare cases show that Pikachu can also learn, with the use of balloons, to perform the move {{m|Fly}}.

===Behavior===
In the wild, Pikachu often travel in packs, and are rarely territorial. However, when threatened, a group can generate an intense electrical offensive, and the electro-magnetic forces exerted by the resulting field can even produce a short lived, localized thunderstorm. Pikachu can be harmful pests, eating and sometimes destroying telephone poles, wires, and other electronic equipment.

Despite this, it is a popular pet, and relatively easy to maintain, with little exercise necessary for its well being. However, it is important to discharge the electricity in its cheeks periodically.

As many know, pulling on a Pikachu's tail will result in a severe shock to the offender. Another defense of Pikachu's is the use of its nasty {{m|Bite}} which has been known to leave quite a mark.

===Habitat===
[[File:Forest.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]
They are found mostly in forests, but possibly because of their attraction to their electricity or simply because they are not afraid of people, Pikachu commonly show up in civilized areas. They may even enter houses, presumably attracted by the electrical output generated by the dwellers' appliances. Pikachu are native only to the [[Kanto]] region, although they have been introduced to many other regions.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Living in wooded areas, Pikachu often are found foraging for [[berries]]. Instead of climbing trees, they use small electrical shocks to release the berries from the tree, roasting them at the same time.

As pets, they can be fed a variety of processed food. Alternatively, like most Pokémon, Pikachu are tolerant to most "human" foods, and sometimes enjoy them more than the more nutritional food designed for their biology. An example of this is the fact that [[Ash's Pikachu]] has been known to have a fondness of ketchup.

==In the anime==
[[File:Pikachu_thunderbolt.png||thumb|[[Ash's Pikachu]] using {{m|Thunderbolt}}]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Pikachu]]====
[[Ash Ketchum]] has a Pikachu that he [[Starter Pokémon|obtained]] from [[Professor Oak]] in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', the first episode of the Pokémon anime series. It has appeared in every non-special episode and every every Pokémon movie since.

[[File:Pikachusinging.png|left|thumb|[[Ash's Pikachu]] with other {{pkmn2|wild}} Pikachu]]
Ash was given the opportunity to release Pikachu in ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]'', though Pikachu chose to stay with him. This episode also featured many other wild Pikachu.

A Pikachu named Sugar belonging to the owners of a restaurant went missing prior to ''[[DP024|Cooking up a Sweet Story!]]'', and Ash's Pikachu had to fill in for it so that its owner would have the confidence to win a cooking competition. At the end of the episode, the Pikachu returns, however, it has evolved into a {{p|Raichu}}.
[[File:AFriendinDeed.gif||thumb|{{OP|Ash|Pikachu}} and [[Sparky|Ritchie's Pikachu]]]]

====[[Sparky|Ritchie's Pikachu]]====
[[Ritchie]] also has a Pikachu nicknamed [[Sparky]], who debuted in ''[[EP078|A Friend In Deed]]''. Sparky, unlike most Pikachu, has a tuft of fur on the top of its head.

====[[Ashachu]]====
Ash gets turned into a Pikachu in ''[[EP241|Hocus Pokémon]]'' by a Pokémon magician named {{Jo|Lily}}. He reverts to his human form at the beginning of [[EP242|the next episode]].

====Other====
At least 20 other Pikachu appeared in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'' to help Ash's Pikachu defeat [[Team Rocket]]'s [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} to send them blasting off for the first time.

Another Pikachu nicknamed '''[[Puka]]''' was owned by a man named {{ka|Victor}} on [[Seafoam Islands|Seafoam Island]] in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]''. This blue-eyed Pikachu had the ability to sense tidal waves approaching.

A Pikachu has also been owned by [[Luana]]'s son, [[Travis]]. Luana mistook Ash for Travis when she saw Pikachu on Ash's shoulder.

[[File:Mewtwospikachu.jpg|left|thumb|{{an|Mewtwo}}'s cloned Pikachu with different ear marks]]
In ''[[AG086|Lights, Camerupt, Action]]'', [[Elijah]] used a Pikachu in one of his movies. This Pikachu helped {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}} on their mission to rescue Princess {{p|Kirlia}} from the evil {{p|Exploud}}.

In ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', {{an|Mewtwo}} clones Ash's Pikachu. This Pikachu can be told apart from Ash's due to spikes on the black marks at the tips of its ears. It is also comparatively more aggressive than Ash's Pikachu and slurs its speech, defects possibly caused by Ash tampering with Mewtwo's cloning machine during the cloning process.

A Pikachu also had a part in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]''. He was kidnapped by a {{p|Skarmory}} and Team Go-Getters set out to rescue him as their first mission. Pikachu provided them with some items in the battle.

===Minor appearances===
Aside from Ash's Pikachu, Pokémon of this species, wild and Trainers' alike, are rarely seen in the anime. This is most likely due to the fact that Ash's Pikachu is seen in every episode.

[[James]] used a Pikachu in the Pokémon League Entrance Exam in ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', but it was defeated by the instructor's {{p|Graveler}}. James, after interfering with a battle {{Ash}} was having with the instructor, later tried to steal this Pikachu.

A Pikachu belonging to an unnamed Aura Guardian appeared in a flashback in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]''.

==In the manga==
[[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] prominently features a Pikachu.

A {{PiPiPi|Pikachu}} is one of the main characters in [[Pokémon PiPiPi Adventure]].

A more mouse-like {{TP|Isamu Akai|Pikachu}} that communicates through pantomime is one of [[Isamu Akai]]'s Pokémon in {{OBP|Pocket Monsters|manga}}.

{{OBP|Satoshi|Zensho}} has a Pikachu as one of the members of his team in [[Pokémon Zensho]]. It later evolves into a {{p|Raichu}}.

[[Shū]]'s first Pokémon was a {{OBP|Pikachu|Get da ze!}} he found abandoned in the forest in [[Pokémon Get da ze!]].

Ash's Pikachu was the main character in the short-lived [[Pokémon Newspaper Strip]].

A story called "Akari and Pikachu's Birthday" is featured in the final volume of [[How I Became a Pokémon Card]].

In [[Golden Boys]], {{OBP|Gold|Golden Boys}} was in possession of a Pikachu, which ended up being [[Eusine]]'s.

A Pikachu makes a cameo in [[Pokémon Battle Frontier]] during one of the battles. Also, a photo album owned by {{FB|Salon Maiden|Anabel}} has a Pikachu on the cover.
===Pokémon Special===
[[File:PSPikachu.jpg|thumb|right|Pikachu in [[Pokémon Special]]]]

Pikachu debuted in its own round in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}, ''[[PS004|Wanted: Pikachu!]]''. Here, a [[Pika|Pikachu]] was stealing all the crops in a town. The townsfolk kept chasing it around, but end up getting shocked by it. {{Special|Red}} arrives and captures it, ending the chaos.

In the ninth volume, {{Special|Yellow}} is seen to have a new addition to her team: a [[Chuchu|Pikachu]] she had found injured in the [[Viridian Forest]] and nursed back to health. When Pika is left behind by Red on his trip to [[Mt. Silver]], Pika joins Yellow and Chuchu on their trip to Johto.

Pika and Chuchu share a loving relationship, one that is so strong that even [[Jasmine]] noticed, prompting her to hand Yellow a slip with the Pokémon Daycare's address on it. In Volume 13, after Yellow and Wilton are brought to the Daycare after being shipwrecked, Yellow finds that Pika and Chuchu now have an egg shortly after they were "put together." The egg eventually hatches into {{Special|Gold}}'s Pichu.

Wild Pikachu also appeared in the R/S and D/P sagas.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Mangadexheader}}
{{Mangadexbody|Pokémon Special|[[PS004]]|When several of these Pokémon gather, their electricity could build up and cause lightning storms. Forest dwellers, they are few in number and exceptionally rare. The pouches in their cheeks discharge electricity at their opponents. The Pikachu are believed to be highly intelligent.}}
{{Mangadexfooter}}

==In the TCG==
{{main|Pikachu (TCG)}}
Pikachu somehow manages to find its way into many of the expansions, causing there to be {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Pikachu (TCG)}} known non-reprint Pokémon cards featuring Pikachu. There are also various Trainer cards with Pikachu in the card's artwork too, including the very sought-after tournament promos such as {{OBP|No.1 Trainer|Tournament promo}}.

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

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

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

*{{TFG|Next Quest}}: {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Pikachu|18}}

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]===
Pikachu is a playable character and the only Pokémon that is playable from the start of the game. It is in the fifth box of the second row. Its main stage is [[Saffron City]].

In the hands of a skilled player, Pikachu is not to be taken lightly. Alongside electrical attacks, it has very good aerial attacks and superb recovery. Because of this, top-level SSB players have placed Pikachu at the top of their list, theoretically making it the best character in the game.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Pikachu is a returning playable character and the only Pokémon that is playable from the start of the game. It is initially placed to the right of Mario but moves to the bottom row after Luigi is unlocked. Its main stage is [[Pokémon Stadium (stage)|Kanto: Pokémon Stadium]].

While Pikachu's play style remained the same, it was powered down in the sequel. The tier lists for Melee place Pikachu in either the Middle or Low tier.

====Trophy information====
=====Classic Mode=====
It's safe to say that Pikachu is the most famous and popular of all Pokémon. It has electric pouches in both cheeks; when in danger, it shoots electricity at its enemies. Although Pikachu can evolve into Raichu by exposure to a Thunderstone, many Trainers like Pikachu so much that they don't let it evolve.

=====Adventure Mode=====
While its electrical attacks, such as Thunder and Thunder Jolt, are powerful, Pikachu is at its best speeding around the fray and waiting for its chance to strike. You can control the path of Pikachu's two-directional Quick Attack, allowing you to jump twice. Hold down the B Button to charge up Skull Bash.

=====All-Star Mode=====
The angle of the Control Stick controls the direction of Pikachu's Quick Attack. Pikachu will move blindingly fast, and it will also cause damage to any character it runs into. Move the Control Stick during Quick Attack and Pikachu will move in up to two directions. Be sure to check out the ceilings on the level when you use Thunder.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
[[File:Pikachu_Brawl.jpg|140px|thumb|right|Pikachu in Brawl.]]
Pikachu is a returning playable character to the franchise. Its Final Smash move is {{m|Volt Tackle}}.
It has different designs for hats including Red's hat from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.

====Subspace Emissary====
Pikachu is first seen in the "Research Facility" stage where it is being used to power a generator. Responding to its shrieks of pain, {{wp|Samus Aran|Zero Suit Samus}} saves it by destroying the generator. The two then face a group of {{wp|R.O.B}} Sentries. Pikachu then joins Samus to search for her stolen power suit. The suit is soon recovered and then are soon confronted by {{wp|Metroid (series)#Recurring characters|Ridley}}. He grabs Samus and begins dragging her across the walls. It is now that Pikachu returns the favor as it zaps Ridley with a powerful Thunder attack. After, Pikachu can be used to battle the final boss.

====[[wp:Metal Gear|Codec]] information (on Shadow Moses Island)====
*'''[[wp:List of recurring Metal Gear characters#Mei Ling|Mei Ling]]:''' ''"Ooh! How cuute!"''
*'''{{wp|Solid Snake}}:''' ''"What? The [[List of Pokémon by color#Yellow|yellow thing]]?"''
*'''Mei Ling:''' ''"That's Pikachu. It's a [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|Pokémon]]. They're popular all over the {{pkmn|world}}, you know. And it may look cute, but be careful. It can store large amounts of {{t|electric}}ity in those adorable little cheeks. It'll try to pepper you with [[Pikachu (Pokémon)#Smash Bros.-only moves|electric shocks]]."''
*'''Solid Snake:''' ''"Couldn't be much worse than [[wp:Ocelot (Metal Gear)|Ocelot's]] old torture device..."''
*'''Mei Ling:''' ''"Oh, and, Snake?"''
*'''Solid Snake:''' ''"What?"''
*'''Mei Ling:''' ''"I was wondering, could you maybe try and {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} Pikachu for me? Pleeeeease?"''
*'''Solid Snake:''' ''"Give me a break! What do I look like, a [[Pokémon Trainer]]?"''
*'''Mei Ling:''' ''"Fine... Sorry I asked."''

====Trophy information====
''"A Mouse Pokémon. Its lightning-bolt tail and round cheeks are its trademarks. When danger draws near, it uses tiny electric pouches within its cheeks to discharge electricity. When it's really fired up, it unleashes thunderbolts on its rivals. It's said to recharge when it's {{status|Sleep|sleeping}}. It evolves into {{p|Raichu}}."''

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}: Pikachu stars in the mini-game "Thundering Dynamo" alongside {{p|Voltorb}}. This mini-game involves charging up electric power.

====Smash Bros.-only moves====
'''Thunder Jolt''' (Japanese: '''でんげき''' ''Electric Attack'') is {{p|Pikachu}}'s standard special move in all three ''Smash Bros.'' games. When used, Pikachu will release a small, blue bolt that slowly jumps across the platform. It can also turn around at some corners.

When used in midair, Pikachu will instead make a white ball that will travel in a downward diagonal line until it reaches a platform. In ''Brawl'', there is a purple sphere around the white ball.

==Trivia==
* The "secret" move for Pikachu's evolution line, {{m|Volt Tackle}}, is actually based on (and in the Japanese version, named after) {{wp|Pulseman}}'s signature move, Voltteccer. To get this move, a {{p|Pichu}} must be bred from a parent Pikachu or {{p|Raichu}} holding a [[Light Ball]], though this can only happen in {{game|Emerald}} and on.
** A Pikachu knowing Surf and Volt Tackle can be obtained from [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] by defeating [[Stargazer Colosseum]] for the first time.
** A Surfing Pikachu can also be won in Pokémon Stadium. Players must beat Prime Cup Master Ball R-2 using a team containing a Pikachu from the player's Game Pak. The Pikachu must be used in every battle, and no continues may be used. After successfully winning, the Pikachu will optionally be allowed to learn Surf.
** All of Lt. Surge's Pikachu and Raichu in {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} and [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] know Surf.
* Pikachu is the smallest and lightest [[version mascot]], likely owing to the fact that it is neither fully evolved nor legendary, unlike the rest.
* In the games, Pikachu is the first Pokémon to have its [[cry]] changed to that of its anime counterpart. This only happened in {{game|Yellow}}. [[Junichi Masuda]] details the modification of [[Ikue Ohtani]]'s voice to a sound capable of being made by the low-tech [[Game Boy]] in his [http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/?p=144 Director's Column]. In some parts of the game, though, Pikachu's original cry was used.
* Pikachu is in all six regional [[Pokédex]]es, though it is only known to be native to Kanto. It is imported from Kanto to Hoenn's Safari Zone and Mr. Backlot's house in Sinnoh. However, it may also be native to Fiore and/or Almia, as their presence there is unexplained.
* Pikachu is the first {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order.
* Pikachu is one of fourteen Pokémon that one can collect [[Meister|foreign Pokédex entries]] for in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* Pikachu and {{p|Raichu}} share the same [[species]] name with {{p|Rattata}}, {{p|Raticate}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, and {{p|Sandslash}}. They are all known as Mouse Pokémon, though Rattata and Raticate have also been called the Rat Pokémon.
* On {{ga|Red}}'s final team in [[Mt. Silver]] at the end of the [[Generation II]] games, Pikachu was the highest leveled Pokémon to be faced in any Pokémon game, excluding the [[Pokémon Stadium series|Stadium]]/{{pkmn|Colosseum}}/{{pkmn|Battle Revolution}} series and the [[Battle Tower]]/[[Battle Frontier]], at level 81. This places it one level higher than the wild {{p|Arceus}} that appears at the [[Hall of Origin]]. In {{game|Platinum}}, {{ga|Pearl}}'s final party includes several members that are higher leveled than {{ga|Red's Pikachu}}, and higher-level {{p|Magikarp}} can be found in the [[Resort Area]]'s pond. However, with the advent of {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Red's Pikachu is once more the highest leveled trained Pokémon, at level 88, and highest leveled Pokémon after the Magikarp from the Resort Area and discounting Battle Frontier-esque facilities and games as noted above.
* Pikachu is the first Pokémon in the National Dex listing to have a {{pkmn2|baby}} relative.
** This also makes it the first Pokémon in National Dex order to be related to a Pokémon of another generation.
* Pikachu is the only Pokémon included in the [[Pokémon Stadium (Japanese)|original Pokémon Stadium]] that was {{p|Raichu|capable of evolving further}} when the game was released. Strangely, Raichu was excluded from the said game.
* Pikachu is the only starter Pokémon which cannot be evolved in the game that it is the starter for.
** Pikachu is also the only [[main series]] [[starter Pokémon]] that does not have a 7:1 male to female gender ratio.
*In 2008, Japanese researchers discovered a new protein which helps carry electrical impulses from the eyes to the brain and named it {{wp|Pikachurin}}. They based themselves on Pikachu for the choice of the name because they noticed that both Pikachu and the protein have amazing speed and agility.
* Pikachu has appeared in every non-special episode, as well as in every Pokémon movie.
* Pikachu is the first Pokémon in Pokédex order to require an [[evolution stone]] to evolve.
* Although its [[Pokédex]] entry in Yellow states that a Pikachu will try to bite anyone that yanks its tail, Pikachu is unable to learn {{m|Bite}}.
===Origin===
Pikachu has physical aspects resembling several species of {{wp|rodent}}s, such as mice.
====Name origin====
Pikachu is a combination of ピカピカ ''pikapika'' which is Japanese onomatopoeia for sparkle and チューチュー ''chūchū'' which is the sound of squeaking. It may be named after the {{wp|pika}}, a lagomorph, but this is less likely. "Pika" also means "quick" in {{wp|Finnish}}.

'''Substitute''' (Japanese: '''みがわり''' ''Scapegoat'') is a non-damaging {{type2|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

==Effect==
===Generation I===
Using 25% of its maximum [[HP]], the user creates a Substitute with 1 HP more than the amount of HP lost by the user. If the user's maximum HP is 3 or less, it will not lose any HP when the Substitute is made. A Substitute will have the same current type(s) and current stats of the Pokémon that created it.

Once created, all stat modifying attacks and side effects used by the target against the user will fail, though all current stat modifiers will remain in effect, and any stat modifiers used by the user will also be applied to the Substitute. Until it breaks, a Substitute will absorb all damage done by the target (even if the damage done exceeds the remaining HP of the Substitute), but will not reduce the actual amount of damage that the target's attacks do. An one-hit KO will break a Substitute on contact.

Substitute will not protect the user from self-inflicted [[status ailment]]s, but it will protect it from any status ailment generated by an opponent move and damage due to those status ailments.

Substitute will not alter the execution of {{m|Bide}}, {{m|Counter}}, {{m|Disable}}, {{m|Haze}}, {{m|Leech Seed}}, {{m|Super Fang}}, {{m|Transform}}, or partial trapping moves, and it will not absorb crash damage, recoil damage, or recurrent damage. However, a Substitute will absorb self-inflicted confusion damage and prevent the user from {{status|Flinch|flinching}}.

If a Pokémon breaks a Substitute with {{m|Hyper Beam}}, it will not need to recharge. If a Pokémon breaks a Substitute with {{m|Explosion}} or {{m|Selfdestruct}}, it will not faint, though its picture will no longer be visible until it switches out or uses Substitute. If a Pokémon breaks a Substitute with a recoil move, it will not take any recoil damage. If a Pokémon breaks a Substitute with a draining move, no HP will be restored to it. Note that in each of these cases, the Substitute has to be broken, not merely damaged, by the referenced attack.

If the user's current HP is less than 25% (rounded down) of its maximum HP, it will be too weak to make a Substitute. If the user's current HP is exactly equal to 25% (rounded down) of its maximum HP, it will create a Substitute, and then faint.

In Stadium, Substitute will protect the user from {{m|Absorb}}, {{m|Dream Eater}}, {{m|Leech Life}}, {{m|Leech Seed}}, {{m|Mega Drain}}, and all status ailments inflicted by the opponent. If the user's current HP is exactly equal to 25% (rounded down) of its maximum HP, it will be too weak to create a Substitute. If a Pokémon breaks a Substitute with {{m|Explosion}} or {{m|Selfdestruct}}, it will faint.

===Generation II - IV===
The effects of Substitute are the same as the previous generation; however, if the user has a status ailment, they will still take any damage from that status ailment after they have used Substitute.

If the Substitute is broken by a target's {{m|Selfdestruct}} or {{m|Explosion}}, the user of that move will faint.

If the user of Substitute has 25% or less of its Max HP (rounded down), or it only has a maximum of 1 HP, such as {{p|Shedinja}}, it will be unable to make a Substitute.

A Substitute can be {{m|Baton Pass}}ed, and can absorb damage due to partial-trapping moves.

==Trivia==
[[Image:SubFly.jpg|thumb|right|A Substitute "Levitating"]]
*In the handheld games, battle animations have the Substitute switch places with the Pokémon while the Pokémon is actually attacking. The 3D consoles' battle animations will play out as if the Substitute was the one attacking.
**However in [[Pokémon Stadium]] and [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], the Substitute does switch places with the Pokémon while the Pokémon is actually attacking.
*Substitutes are interpreted differently throughout all forms of Pokémon canon. In the games, Substitutes are seen as a plush-like decoy which simply replaces the Pokémon. In the anime, Substitutes are seen to be exact clones of the user. In the manga, Substitutes are like the anime representation, but more spectral and transparent, as shown by [[Pika|Red's Pikachu]] in ''[[PS028|Peace of Mime]]''.
* {{p|Shedinja}} is capable of learning Substitute by both {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} [[move tutor]] as well as by [[TM90]] in [[Generation IV]] (as well as inheriting it from its pre-evolution). Despite this, it cannot use it, as its HP is too low to make a substitute.
*In the games the plush slightly resembles the [[Pokémon]] {{p|Tyranitar}}.

'''Regigigas''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レジギガス''' ''Regigigas'') is a {{type2|Normal}} [[legendary Pokémon]]. It is the [[trio master|master]] of [[Hoenn]]'s [[legendary golems]].

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

It comes to life only when {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}} are gathered. Therefore, it requires the three to be in the player's [[party]] to awaken it within [[Snowpoint Temple]], where it sleeps. It still appears on the map if they are absent, but does not awaken and the player regards it as a statue.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Regigigas shares several traits with the [[Regis]]. For instance, it has seven dot-like "eyes" arranged in a specific pattern. It has six spots that are apart from its eyes, which seem to be gemstones. These gemstones seem to represent the Regis with the red gems representing {{p|Regirock}}, the blue gems representing {{p|Regice}} and the silver gems representing {{p|Registeel}}. It has a golem-like shape and long arms with short legs. Its body is covered in black stripes, and it has moss growing in its back and feet, which may indicate it has been asleep for a long time.

====Gender differences====
Regigigas is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
Regigigas has the ability {{a|Slow Start}}, which causes Regigigas's Attack and Speed to be halved the first five turns. According to its [[Pokédex]] entries, the legends say that its extremely high attack stat, combined with its colossal strength, enables it to move continents.

Regigigas is capable of communicating via telepathy.

Regigigas is also capable of controlling the [[legendary golems]], even if they already belong to a {{pkmn|Trainer}}.

===Behavior===
===Habitat===
It resides in the [[Snowpoint Temple]], having done so for hundreds, maybe thousands of years. According to the [[braille]] in the [[Generation III]] games, it was sealed away in order to protect people, and three keys (the [[legendary golems]]) were created so that only one with the power of {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}} would be able to catch it.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Regigigasanime.png|right|thumb|250px|Regigigas in the anime]]
Regigigas appeared in ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. In the movie, it lives in a temple in the mountains of [[Gracidea]]. It had been asleep for centuries, for so long that moss began to grow on its body. However, when [[Zero]] entered the [[Reverse World]] and began shattering pillars of ice within it, the glacier in front of Regigigas' temple suffered catastrophic explosions and began moving. This disturbed the great titan's slumber, rousing it into action.

When [[Dawn's Buneary]] and {{TP|Dawn|Swinub}} failed to stop the glacier with the help of a large group of wild Pokémon, Regigigas appeared in the command of a herd of dozens of {{p|Mamoswine}} and together, they began pushing on the glacier to hold it back. Though at first they managed to still its movement and move it back slightly, in the end they too failed. It was only when {{an|Giratina}} healed the broken ice pillars in the Reverse World that the glacier stopped. Regigigas returned to its temple at the end of the movie, where it is seen using {{m|Hyper Beam}} on [[Team Rocket]] during the credits.

Another Regigigas appeared in [[DP129]] at [[Snowpoint Temple]]. J wanted to steal it so it was rudely awakened by her. She shattered the pillars of ice, rock, and steel surrounding it and then she used her Salamence's {{m|Flamethrower}} on it. It went on a rampage after, using {{m|Hyper Beam}} on practically anything. It even used {{m|Confuse Ray}} to control [[Pyramid King Brandon]]'s set of [[legendary golems]] to help it. At the end of the episode, it healed Brandon and his golems using {{m|Hidden Power}} to restore them from their petrification. It was then taken back to the temple to return to its slumber.

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]], [[Hareta]] captures Regigigas by persuading it to help him stop [[Team Galactic]].

==Trivia==
* Due to {{a|Slow Start|its ability}} reducing its potential, Regigigas has more in common with {{p|Slaking}} than it does with other [[Legendary Pokémon|legendaries]]. They share the same base stat total of 670, the same base {{stat|Attack}} stat of 160, and [[ability|abilities]] that limit their power.
* Although it is thought to be unique, it is possible to see and fight another, under the ownership of [[Palmer]] along with a {{p|Heatran}} and {{p|Cresselia}} in the 49th consecutive battle in the Battle Tower. [[Riley]] uses one too, possibly confirming that Regigigas is, like {{p|Cresselia}}, {{p|Heatran}}, and the other [[legendary golems]], a more common legendary species than that of others.
* It is the only Pokémon who can learn TMs that cannot learn {{TM|17|Protect}} or {{TM|44|Rest}}. This is probably to prevent people from countering its own ability by avoiding damage or healing itself.
* Regigigas is the only one of the [[Legendary Golems|Regis]] not to have its type in its name. {{p|Regirock}} is a {{type2|Rock}}, {{p|Regice}} is an {{type2|Ice}}, and {{p|Registeel}} is {{type2|Steel}}.
** Regigigas is also the only one of the Regis that does not use the remix of the legendary golem battle theme in Platinum. Instead, it uses the legendary battle theme, much like in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}.
*Due to their [[Type|typings]], Regigigas and the other legendary golems all share a common weakness to {{type2|Fighting}} moves.
* Regigigas and {{p|Slaking}} have the highest [[base stats|base stat]] in {{stat|Attack}} of all {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon. They have the third highest attack of all Pokémon, after {{p|Deoxys}}'s Attack Forme and {{p|Rampardos}}.
* Despite being called the Colossal Pokémon, Regigigas is only the fourteenth tallest Pokémon and only the eighth heaviest.
* Regigigas is one of only two Normal-type legendary Pokémon (the other is {{p|Arceus}}, but its type can change).
* By hacking to get Cherish Balls, it is possible to trick the game into opening [[Rock Peak Ruins|Rock Peak]], [[Iceberg Ruins|Iceberg]], and [[Iron Ruins]]: by catching Regigigas in a Cherish Ball, the game thinks the Regigigas was obtained at a Nintendo event.
===Origin===
This [[Pokémon]] is based on the {{wp|golem}}s of Hebrew legend. The legends cast them as servants of higher powers and are said to have writing on their heads. When the writing is removed, the creature would be weakened.
====Name origin====
The first part of its name is ''Regi'', ''kings'' or ''to rule, govern or control'', or possibly ''regius'', ''royal''. The last part of its name, ''gigas'', means ''giant''. This means it is the King of the [[Legendary Golems|Giants]].

'''Regigigas''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レジギガス''' ''Regigigas'') is a {{type2|Normal}} [[legendary Pokémon]]. It is the [[trio master|master]] of [[Hoenn]]'s [[legendary golems]].

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

It comes to life only when {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}} and {{p|Registeel}} are gathered. Therefore, it requires the three to be in the player's [[party]] to awaken it within [[Snowpoint Temple]], where it sleeps. It still appears on the map if they are absent, but does not awaken and the player regards it as a statue.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Regigigas shares several traits with the [[Regis]]. For instance, it has seven dot-like "eyes" arranged in a specific pattern. It has six spots that are apart from its eyes, which seem to be gemstones. These gemstones seem to represent the Regis with the red gems representing {{p|Regirock}}, the blue gems representing {{p|Regice}} and the silver gems representing {{p|Registeel}}. It has a golem-like shape and long arms with short legs. Its body is covered in black stripes, and it has moss growing in its back and feet, which may indicate it has been asleep for a long time.

====Gender differences====
Regigigas is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
Regigigas has the ability {{a|Slow Start}}, which causes Regigigas's Attack and Speed to be halved the first five turns. According to its [[Pokédex]] entries, the legends say that its extremely high attack stat, combined with its colossal strength, enables it to move continents.

Regigigas is capable of communicating via telepathy.

Regigigas is also capable of controlling the [[legendary golems]], even if they already belong to a {{pkmn|Trainer}}.

===Behavior===
===Habitat===
It resides in the [[Snowpoint Temple]], having done so for hundreds, maybe thousands of years. According to the [[braille]] in the [[Generation III]] games, it was sealed away in order to protect people, and three keys (the [[legendary golems]]) were created so that only one with the power of {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}} would be able to catch it.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Regigigasanime.png|right|thumb|250px|Regigigas in the anime]]
{{an|Regigigas}} appeared in ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. It commanded a herd of {{p|Mamoswine}}.

Another Regigigas appeared in [[DP129]] at [[Snowpoint Temple]]. J wanted to steal it so it was rudely awakened by her. She shattered the pillars of ice, rock, and steel surrounding it and then she used her Salamence's {{m|Flamethrower}} on it. It went on a rampage after, using {{m|Hyper Beam}} on practically anything. It even used {{m|Confuse Ray}} to control [[Pyramid King Brandon]]'s set of [[legendary golems]] to help it. At the end of the episode, it healed Brandon and his golems using {{m|Hidden Power}} to restore them from their petrification. It was then taken back to the temple to return to its slumber.

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]], [[Hareta]] captures Regigigas by persuading it to help him stop [[Team Galactic]].

==In the TCG==

===NPC appearances===

==Trivia==
* Due to {{a|Slow Start|its ability}} reducing its potential, Regigigas has more in common with {{p|Slaking}} than it does with other [[Legendary Pokémon|legendaries]]. They share the same base stat total of 670, the same base {{stat|Attack}} stat of 160, and [[ability|abilities]] that limit their power.
* Although it is thought to be unique, it is possible to see and fight another, under the ownership of [[Palmer]] along with a {{p|Heatran}} and {{p|Cresselia}} in the 49th consecutive battle in the Battle Tower. [[Riley]] uses one too, possibly confirming that Regigigas is, like {{p|Cresselia}}, {{p|Heatran}}, and the other [[legendary golems]], a more common legendary species than that of others.
* It is the only Pokémon who can learn TMs that cannot learn {{TM|17|Protect}} or {{TM|44|Rest}}. This is probably to prevent people from countering its own ability by avoiding damage or healing itself.
* Regigigas is the only one of the [[Legendary Golems|Regis]] not to have its type in its name. {{p|Regirock}} is a {{type2|Rock}}, {{p|Regice}} is an {{type2|Ice}}, and {{p|Registeel}} is {{type2|Steel}}.
** Regigigas is also the only one of the Regis that does not use the remix of the legendary golem battle theme in Platinum. Instead, it uses the legendary battle theme, much like in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}.
* Regigigas and {{p|Slaking}} have the highest [[base stats|base stat]] in {{stat|Attack}} of all {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon. They have the third highest attack of all Pokémon, after {{p|Deoxys}}'s Attack Forme and {{p|Rampardos}}.
* Despite being called the Colossal Pokémon, Regigigas is only the fourteenth tallest Pokémon and only the eighth heaviest.
* Regigigas, {{p|Aerodactyl}}, {{p|Snubbull}} and {{p|Granbull}} have the most amount of starting moves: 7.
* Regigigas is one of only two Normal-type legendary Pokémon (the other is {{p|Arceus}}).

===Origin===
This [[Pokémon]] is based on the {{wp|golem}}s of Hebrew legend. The legends cast them as servants of higher powers and are said to have writing on their heads. When the writing is removed, the creature would be weakened.

====Name origin====
The first part of its name is ''Regi'', ''kings'' or ''to rule, govern or control'', or possibly ''regius'', ''royal''. The last part of its name, ''gigas'', means ''giant''. This means it is the King of the [[Legendary Golems|Giants]].

'''Misty's Corsola''' (Japanese: '''カスミのサニーゴ''' ''Kasumi's Sunnygo'') was the second [[Pokémon]] acquired by [[Misty]] in the [[Johto]] [[region]] and her ninth in total. Its Japanese voice actress is ''[[Ikue Ohtani]]'' and its English voice actress is [[Kayzie Rogers]].

In ''[[EP210|Around the Whirlpool]]'', {{Ash}}, Misty, and [[Brock]] met [[Professor Elm]] who showed off his {{p|Corsola}}. Seeing it also made Misty want to have one.

In ''[[EP213|A Corsola Caper!]]'', the group met a family who raised Corsola to make jewelry out of their shed body parts. However, a wild Corsola came along and invaded the ranch looking for a friend, causing the Corsola in the area to flee. Eventually, all of the Corsola were recovered and Misty caught the wild Corsola with the [[Poké Ball#Generation II Poké Balls|Lure Ball]] she got from [[Kurt]].

Corsola also seems to have a stubborn and aggressive personality. It then became one of Misty's most used Pokémon and she continued to use it regularly throughout her travels in the Johto region. It was also used in the [[Whirl Cup]].

'''Battling the Enemy Within''' (Japanese: '''バトルピラミッド！VSレジロック!!''' ''Battle Pyramid! VS Regirock!!'') is the 178th episode of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, and the 452nd episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It first aired in Japan on May 25, 2006 and in the United States on December 6, 2006.


{{spoilers}}
==Synopsis==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr|the others}} finally see the [[Battle Frontier (Hoenn)#Battle Pyramid|Battle Pyramid]], and Ash is confident that he will win. However, they fall into a hole and plummet into an ancient ruin. [[Max]] spots a light source ahead, and Ash heads for it. Meanwhile, [[Team Rocket]] finds the pit Ash and the others fell through. The ground is unstable, and Team Rocket widens the pit, falling in as well.

Ash finds a {{p|Pikachu}} statue and grabs it, even though Max tries to convince him not to, causing the pillar it was resting on the rise. Nearby, a wall flashes, matching the Pikachu statue. Ash set off a boulder trap, forcing the group to run away. They run into an explorer, calling them foolish kids. He summons {{p|Regirock}}, using {{m|Focus Punch}} to destroy the boulder. The man identifies himself as [[Pyramid King Brandon|Brandon]] and scolds Ash for his carelessness. Brandon talks about the ruins, called Pokélantis, where the king tried to control {{p|Ho-Oh}}. The king disappeared after Ho-Oh destroyed the village. Team Rocket overhears and misinterprets that Ho-Oh is in the ruins, so they set off to find it.

Ash is excited that he might run into Ho-Oh, but Brandon doesn't want them to follow. Ash reveals that he won six Battle Frontier symbols and runs off. Brandon and the others pursue Ash. Meanwhile, Team Rocket finds a {{p|Smoochum}} statue and sets off a boulder trap similar to the one Ash set off.

Ash runs into the door leading into the king’s chamber, and he manages to get inside. However, the others cannot follow as quickly. Brandon tries to find the mechanism that opens the king's chamber. Inside the king’s chamber, Ash finds the king's throne, the stone orb resting on it. He grabs it and holds the orb above his head. Brandon gets the door open and they get inside. Brandon tries to get Ash to set the orb down, but the orb activates. A dark voice chants a spell as dark energy envelopes Ash, causing him to fall to his knees. The others rush to him, and Ash starts to laugh, but it sounds deeper...

Team Rocket encounters a door, and {{MTR}} looks into the keyhole, seeing a bird silhouette. They think its Ho-oh and open it, setting off a {{p|Pidgey}}.

Ash is enveloped with dark energy, which reaches out and grabs {{an|May}}'s [[Poké Ball]]s. May takes them back and everyone wonders what happened to Ash. Ash declares himself as the [[King of Pokélantis]], and Brandon reveals that Ash is possessed. Brandon confronts the king due to his failure to imprison Ho-oh. Brandon steps forward and challenges the king to a battle. Brandon announces that he is the king of the Battle Pyramid. If the king wins, he will rule the world. The king accepts.

Team Rocket finds another passageway. They hear a roar, thinking its Ho-oh. They run down the hall, finding a {{p|Salamence}} instead. It uses {{m|Flamethrower}} to send them running. Meanwhile, Brandon takes the king and the others to the pyramid, meeting [[Scott]]. Inside, Scott finds out that Ash is possessed, while revealing that Brandon explores ruins as well as being the brain.

The battle is set for a one-on-one match. Brandon sends out Regirock. Ash wakes up inside another dimension. However, he does see what the king sees. Noticing the battle, Ash summons {{AP|Sceptile}}, which the king replicates in reality. Ash orders Sceptile to use {{m|Leaf Blade}}, which the king replicates. Regirock uses {{m|Iron Defense}} to nullify the attack. The king orders Sceptile to use {{m|Bullet Seed}}, but Iron Defense also nullifies it. The king orders Sceptile to fire Bullet Seed at the ceiling. Sceptile is hesitant at first but obeys. The attack causes rocks to crash atop Regirock, burying it. The group notes that Ash would never attack in that manner. Brandon calls the king a coward for his tactic, but Ash hears the insult from his isolation. Ash breaks the spell, taking control of his body to counter the insult, but the king’s control quickly returns.

Regirock breaks out of the tomb and immediately uses {{m|Hyper Beam}}. The king orders Sceptile to use the referee as cover. Sceptile initially hesitates, not used to Ash using such dirty tricks, but the king tells him to obey and Sceptile is made to move behind the referee, forcing Brandon to cancel the attack. The king uses Sceptile’s Leaf Blade on Regirock’s leg, causing it to kneel down. Regirock uses {{m|Lock-On}}, targeting Sceptile. The king orders another Leaf Blade on the other leg, rendering Regirock immobile. Regirock uses Hyper Beam again, and although Sceptile attempts to dodge, Lock On ensures that Hyper Beam hits and it knocks Sceptile out. The king loses, but he refuses, ordering Pikachu to go. May, Brock, and Max block Pikachu and try to break through to Ash. The king appears resistant and orders Pikachu to use Thunderbolt, but it refuses. Brandon reminds Ash that they’re his good friends, and Ash gets {{AP|Pikachu}} to use {{m|Thunderbolt}} on his body. The attack frees Ash from captivity and purges the king from his body. Brandon uses the spell to abolish the king back to the orb.

Ash returns and the others are relieved. Brandon admits to Scott that Ash's friends freed him from the spell. Meanwhile, Team Rocket finds another hatch, opening it and finding a {{p|Hoothoot}}. Jessie throws a rock, angering Hoothoot and prompting it to attack. Team Rocket run into a spring trap and sends them flying out of the ruins.

As sunset occurs, Brandon tells Ash that his own carelessness and arrogance attracted the king and rendered him vulnerable. Ash admits that maybe he is still a foolish kid at times, but he still wants the chance to battle Brandon fair and square. Unfortunately, Brandon declines the challenge as he has some more ruins to visit but he tells Ash he will get in touch... when the time is right, and he advises Ash to train hard until that time. Brandon enters the Battle Pyramid, and Scott advises the group to stand back. The group discovers that the Pyramid can fly, allowing it to move to the ruins Brandon desires to explore. Ash spots the real Ho-oh flying in the distance, remembering how he saw it when he first started. He uses it to inspire himself to train for the rematch. But for now, the Grand Festival is on the horizon for May and she can't wait to put herself to the ultimate test...

==Major events==
* {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}} meet [[Pyramid King Brandon]], the seventh and final [[Frontier Brain]].
* Ash is possessed by the King of Pokélantis Empire's evil spirit which comes from the stone sphere sealed in the Ancient Ruins, and Brandon agrees to battle in order to save Ash.
* Ash's Sceptile fights Brandon's Regirock in an informal battle and loses.

Dark (type)

2009-05-23T02:46:41Z

RegalStar: /* Trivia */ (Punishment and Fling can go beyond 80 too)

{{ElementalTypes|dark}}
{{TypeNotice|Dark|あく|Aku}}
Some notable trainers of Dark-types include [[Karen]] of the [[Indigo Plateau]] [[Elite Four]] and [[Sidney]] of the [[Hoenn]] Elite Four. Notably, the Dark-type is the only type that has not had at least one [[Pokémon Gym]] dedicated to it.

==Statistical averages==
===Overall===
{{BaseStatNoCat|
type=dark|
HP=66 |
Attack=93 |
Defense=59 |
SpAtk=76 |
SpDef=60 |
Speed=71 }}

===Fully evolved===
{{BaseStatNoCat|
type=dark|
HP=75.69 |
Attack=103.06 |
Defense=75.75 |
SpAtk=85.19 |
SpDef=73.81 |
Speed=77.25 }}


==Battle properties==
Dark-type moves:

* Are super-effective against: {{t|Ghost}}, {{t|Psychic}}
* Are not very effective against: '''Dark''', {{t|Fighting}}, {{T|Steel}}
* Have no effect against: None

Dark-type Pokémon:

* Resist: '''Dark''', {{t|Ghost}}
* Are weak to: {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Fighting}}
* Have immunity to: {{t|Psychic}}

==Characteristics==
Dark-type Pokémon were added in [[Generation II]].

Dark-type Pokémon are notable for the fact that they don't have any strong stat trends other than Attack (which is in and of itself modified by a few powerful outliers and slightly ironic as Dark was a special type, not a physical type.), but usually have relatively poor defenses, with the exception of {{p|Umbreon}} and {{p|Tyranitar}} (the second is probably due to {{t|Rock|its other type}}). Just the same, Pokémon that are both Dark-type and {{type2|Ghost}} have no true weaknesses, as the resistances of the Dark-type cover the weaknesses of Ghost, and vice-versa. One of the greatest advantages of the Dark-type is that they are immune to {{type2|Psychic}}s.

Dark-type moves, when combating Psychic-types, are especially useful due to their secondary effects; {{m|Crunch}} lowers Defense (an already low stat among Psychic-types), {{m|Bite}} causes [[Status_ailments#flinch|Flinching]], {{m|Faint Attack}} never misses, {{m|Night Slash}} has a high [[critical hit]] ratio while {{m|Pursuit}} hits Pokémon as they switch for double damage. Many Dark-type moves also involve stealing or deception, such as moves like {{m|Thief}}, which steals an opponent's held item, and {{m|Snatch}}, which steals the beneficial effects of an opponent's moves.

Interestingly, despite the fact that in generations prior to [[Generation IV]], all Dark-type moves were [[special move]]s, there is only ''one'' special Dark-type move in Generation IV (Dark Pulse), which itself was actually introduced in that generation, meaning all Dark-type moves from before are actually considered [[physical move]]s.

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

In total, there are 23 Pokémon with the Dark-type.

==Trivia==
* There are no Dark-type moves with a base power greater than 80, making it the only elemental type without a single move with a base power of 100 or more.
* None of the main characters of the {{pkmn|anime}} own a Dark-type Pokémon. However, {{Ash}}, [[James]], and {{an|May}} own or have owned Pokémon that can evolve into a Dark-type.
* Before {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, damaging Dark-type moves were all considered [[special move|special]], but all damaging Dark-type moves that existed then became [[physical move|physical]] in Generation IV. There is currently only one special Dark-type move (excluding {{m|Hidden Power}}), and it was created in Generation IV: {{m|Dark Pulse}}.
* While holding the {{DL|Plate|Dread Plate}}, {{p|Arceus}}'s {{m|Judgment}} becomes the strongest Dark-type move and the only one to have a base power of more than 80 consistently.
* Officially, this type's Brazilian Portuguese translation is "Noturno", but at times it is named as "Sombrio" or "Trevas" as well.

'''Dusknoir''' is a character from [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]]. He is a supporting character that plays a significant role in the game. He was first introduced to the player as a famous and wise Pokémon, exploring the world, solving mysteries but later turns out to be a main antagonist. At the end of Explorers of the Sky, he is reformed.

==History==
{{spoiler}}
Dusknoir has been sent by [[Primal Dialga]] to pursue {{OBP|Grovyle|Mystery Dungeon 2 character}} and the {{player|main character}}s. He pretends to be an explorer who is famous for his wisdom and for exploring alone. At first, when Dusknoir meets the player, he does not know the player's name and he actually rescues the player and the partner from the {{p|Luxio}} clan. He portrays Grovyle as a criminal from the future and says that he is also from the future to bring Grovyle to justice. The [[Wigglytuff Guild|whole guild]] falls for Dusknoir's lie and goes after Grovyle and tries to prevent him from stealing any more [[Time Gears]].

The player and its partner at one point approach Dusknoir with questions about the player's [[Dimensional Scream]] ability and asks if he knows anything about where the player came from. They mention the player's name, with the player noticing that despite claiming to know nothing about the player's memory loss, Dusknoir might have had a small smile. When Grovyle is caught and is about to be taken back to the future, Dusknoir calls the duo up to him and says hastily that it is too soon for good-byes, and grabs them both and takes them to the future before the rest of the crowd even realizes what has just happened. They, however, manage to escape from the future with Grovyle as their new ally.
[[File:PMD sky anime Dusknoir.png|thumb|left|Encountering Dusknoir]]
They meet Dusknoir again at the end of the [[Hidden Land]] and battle him and six {{p|Sableye}}, where he is finally defeated by them forcing back an attack that appeared to be {{m|Shadow Ball}} into the 'mouth' on his stomach, severely injuring him and sending his Sableye running back to the future in disbelief that Dusknoir had lost. After they defeat him, he rises a unleashes an attack on the player and tries to finish it of , but Grovyle steps in and Grovyle then takes Dusknoir back to the future with him to prevent him from stopping the player and their partner from changing the future. Dusknoir, Grovyle, Primal Dialga, the Sableye, and the player are all erased from time when the player and their partner stop Temporal Tower's collapse, but Dialga revives the player as a reward for their sacrifice.

In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Sky}}, Dusknoir, Grovyle, Primal Dialga and the Sableye appear to survive, but are trapped in the dark future. Primal Dialga orders for Dusknoir to be executed for his failure in the past game by Primal Dialga's army, but gets away with the help of Grovyle. The two of them team up together to defeat Primal Dialga.

As they travel through the now-abandoned Temporal Tower and the [[Great Iceberg]], Grovyle and Dusknoir begin to develop a sort of kinship with each other. Dusknoir eventually asks Grovyle why he is willing to sacrifice his life to change the past (hence eliminating the dark future from existence), and Grovyle responds that it is better to live a short life with glory than a long, empty life.

At the end of the Great Iceberg, they see Celebi held hostage by a {{p|Spiritomb}}. Grovyle attempts to rescue her, whereupon he is captured in an electric field; Dusknoir reveals the supposed execution order was a ruse; he intends to possess Grovyle, travel to the past ''again'', and ruin things there. However, Grovyle, speaking of his newly-formed trust in Dusknoir, believes that not everything was indeed faked, that Dusknoir ''did'' identify with Grovyle at some point during the journey. Grovyle is correct - Dusknoir had begun to question whether self-preservation in a bleak future was a good idea. Just before Spiritomb kills Grovyle, Dusknoir rescues Grovyle from the electric field, whereupon Spiritomb flees.

It is at this point that Primal Dialga appears and attacks Dusknoir for his betrayal. The effects of Dialga's defeat in the past (the final boss battle in the main storyline) begin to take effect; time is slowly starting to flow. Dusknoir, now sincerely sharing Grovyle's goal, teams with him and Celebi in an effort to find Primal Dialga. After cornering Dialga at the Passage of Time, they defeat him, and the effects of the past finally take effect in full force; the Pokémon of the future are vanishing, and time flows again. After Primal Dialga vanishes, Dusknoir asks Grovyle one final question: whether this sacrifice is worth his life. With Grovyle's assurance that it is, he finally feels content and vanishes; Grovyle and Celebi follow soon after. Soon, everything in the future is erased from time.

However, the Pokémon of the future (Dusknoir, Grovyle, Celebi, Dialga) eventually find themselves in a newly-restored future, appearing at the Passage of Time, surprised they have not vanished. Dialga, now restored to his normal state, remarks that their resurrection is due to the actions of a {{p|Arceus|being}} "on an even higher tier than itself". With joy and hope restored to the future world, each of them is free to live their life as they truly wish.

Abilities in this category affect the user in a negative way during battle, and should generally be avoided or switched with an opponent, unless the Pokémon has a move that produces an unusual effect, such as {{m|Switcheroo}} with Klutz, or when one desires the positive part of the ability (such as Dry Skin's immunity to water).

== A few fixes? ==

As a competitive battler quite a few things jump out at me as needing fixes.

Ubers:
Wobbufet is not uncountable due to CounterCoat (Many others get this combo, Swampert for example) but due to the definition of counter requiring the ability to switch in and the fact that (outside of Batton Pass/U-turn, Shed Shell and another Wobby switching out) nothing can switch into it. It is also not an Uber by all tier lists (the Official Sever on Shoddy allows it in OU matches) so may not be the best choice as an example, but it is interesting so should stay IMO but with a clear mention that it is listed as Uber by many but not all sources.

Wynaut is not banned from OU due to its own battling powers, but rather due to its fully evolved form being Uber. Many lists allow Pre-Evos of Ubers and so allow Wynaut.

Garchomp has been classed as Uber by Smogon and most other lists followed suit, but not all. Also Chompy was banned for many other very complicated reasons which I would think that Bulbapedia would not want to go into (Overcentralization, almost always getting at least 1 kill, extreme popularity, ect). The reasons listed "high stats, movepool, and low amount of weaknesses" could be applyed to many other OUs.

I will post suggestions for the other sections when I have time [[User:Eric the espeon|Eric the espeon]] 21:27, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
:Yeah, only the problem with that idea is that we aren't listing the Pokémon in each tier anymore--The [[Blastoise (Pokémon)|Kk]][[Gary's Blastoise|ll]][[Blastoise (TCG)|nn]][[User:Kkllnn|ator]] [[User Talk:Kkllnn| blastoise]] 21:29, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

== Defining Tiers ==

I have a request.

Can we provide three things to this article?

Tiers - The correct definition of Tiers
Tier Lists - The current definition of Tiers would fall under the term Tier List
Skill - A warning for people on how to interpret Tier Lists

Tiers: Tiers are an idea, which states that some objects with certain value(s) are greater than other objects bound by laws. In the case of Pokemon, this would mean that certain Pokemon are better than other Pokemon at playing the game. What is the game? The game is Pokemon battling. What is the goal? The goal is to defeat the other team of Pokemon. If Pokemon A can contribute more to the final goal than Pokemon B, then A would be considered a higher Tier than B. In most games, balance is impossible, unless the two characters/cars/objects are exactly the same, or if the differences are quantifiable and measurable. For example, a fighting game in which two fighters, A and B, do damage to each other continuously over a time would be equal if A did 1 damage every 1/2 of a second and B did 2 damage every 1 second. However, in Pokemon, stats are extremely difficult to measure, and due to the large variance in even the same Pokemon (due to IVs, EVs, Natures, and, especially, movesets), it is difficult to measure them. Yet, because it is difficult to measure them, it is difficult to balance them. Pokemon is an unbalanced game. So, for Pokemon, the existence and idea of Tiers are a fact. In fact, Tiers have a bigger impact on Pokemon due to the wild variances between statistics and due to the fact that Pokemon is a turn-based game and that one can have 6, unbalanced characters on their team. For example, Flamethrower is a superior move to Ember. Tyranitar nearly 100% outclasses Absol in physical sweeping ability, 100% outclasses it in support ability (due to Sandstorm), completely outclasses it in special sweeping, completely outclasses it as a physical wall, completely outclasses it as a special wall, and has better synergy with it's team of 5 other Pokemon. Thus, we can easily say that Tyranitar does more to aid in reaching the goal than Absol, and Tyranitar is definitively a better Pokemon than Absol.

Tier Lists: Tier Lists are the opinions. Tier Lists are an effort to quantify Tiers. Tier Lists usually have more restrictions on them than the game originally comes with, and those restrictions are collectively known as a metagame. For example, Smogon's standard list comes with the restriction of banning Pokemon they have deemed as especially overpowered and overcentralizing to the metagame, such as Mewtwo or Deoxys-Attack Forme. In the game of Pokemon, Pokemon who have a low-risk, high return on the user's part are banned by Smogon. The metagame also represents the usage of certain strategies, and those strategies are not used often without reason. The move Pursuit is notable. If it weren't for the prevalence of Pursuit, Celebi would be considered Uber, or too overpowered. However, due to the large presence of Psychic-types, who are usually the premier special sweepers but physically frail, Pursuit has worked hand in hand with the boosted usage of strong, physical Dark-types. Due to Pursuit being omnipresent in the metagame, Celebi is considered OU. In Pokemon, there also exist counters. Most games have counters, as some characters have natural advantages that would help them defeat other characters. This is extremely significant in Pokemon, and is more obvious in one on one battles between Pokemon. A Glaceon may be considered a counter to Garchomp. Glaceon also has a high Defense, allowing it to sometimes switch into Garchomp, especially it's commonly used Earthquake or even Outrage, take the next shot of Earthquake or Outrage, then OHKO it with Ice Beam. However, this does not mean Garchomp is a worse Pokemon. In fact, Garchomp has easy ways to defeat it's counters, by way of attacks such as Swords Dance or Fire Fang. Plus, Garchomp contributes more to it's team than Glaceon. Garchomp has a wider range of resists and has higher HP, and can actually take physical hits better than Glaceon, despite it's physical defense being it's best stat, and can easily KO more Pokemon than Glaceon. Garchomp is a better Pokemon than Glaceon in the Smogon metagame, and thus is reflected in their Tier Lists. In fact, Garchomp is a better Pokemon in the Official Nintendo metagame, as the only differences between the Smogon and Nintendo metagame are the ban list, However, if there was a metagame in which Earthquake, Outrage, Dragon Claw, Fire Fang, and Swords Dance could not be used, then Glaceon would be a better Pokemon than Garchomp.

Skill: Although I wrote this here last, this should probably go near the top of the article. This is the main warning for those reading this article. It should be said that Skill is always a higher deciding factor in most video games. A more skilled player will usually triumph over a less skilled player. Indications of less skill would include things such as teaching Earthquake to a Pokemon with low Attack Power, using Earthquake on a Pokemon with Levitate, etc, etc. Skill differences would also include predicting ability, teaching a Pokemon certain movesets, learning to use certain moves at certain times, knowing when the switch, using Pokemon to their best roles, etc, etc. When player A uses Pokemon who are more powerful than the Pokemon on player B's team, player B simply is simply less likely to win. Through good prediction, good movesets, etc, player B can always defeat player A. As another example, even though there is a prevalence of teams full of sweepers, Pokemon designed to KO as many other Pokemon as possible, it is still possible to win using other methods, such as Baton Passing with Pokemon who aren't considered high up on a Tier List, such as Medicham and Smeargle, or Stalling, with "UU" Pokemon such as Weezing.

I hope this wasn't too much to read. To be honest, I was sifting through the archives and noticed people saying "Tiers are BS" and I sort of wanted to clear it up, and maybe see if they were willing to read the other side of the argument, and see that they had some notions which were flat out wrong.

I also want to make the argument about articles being bad because they are opinions; for one, tiers aren't opinions. Tier Lists might be opinions. However, there is a true and clear concept for tiers. It's good to see the Tier List gone, because that's not Bulbapedia's job, but the previous arguments bashing it for being opinions might have been valid if it weren't for the fact that Shipping articles have a place on Bulbapedia. But, a Shipping article are about an idea supported by some purported facts, and Tiers are an idea supported by purported facts. Every game information site that has a competitive flavor to it should have an article on tiers, and explain them in the context of the game.

Hopefully, we can agree to a base definition for Skill, Tiers, and Tier Lists that can be on the page. The Skill part would be sort of a warning to people who supposedly want to choose a team based on the tiers. We might also want to remove Smogon's definitions for UU, BL, OU, etc. Instead of referencing Smogon, we could simply state that there are Pokemon who are clearly used very much, such as Gengar and Infernape, and Pokemon who are not used very often, such as Luvdisc, and mention ban lists. Thus, there would be no need to go into BL, which is 100% a "fanon" thing.

[[User: GoldenBattler | GoldenBattler]]

:Congratulations. Encyclopedia. We don't do recommended movesets, we don't have a tier list. We just give the people the facts about each and every Pokémon and let them decide what they wanna use. Better than the tier thing anyway. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 09:03, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

::Well, I didn't really expect you to read that wall, but you clearly didn't get the point. Who said something about recommended movesets? Nobody. Who said something about your tier list? I did, but I stated that I was glad that Bulbapedia's tier list was gone. I was simply asking for a better definition of tiers, and I also want the whole "Tiers are opinions" mindset, which is false, to go away. [[User: GoldenBattler | GoldenBattler]]

== Legendaries and Ubers ==

Could someone who can edit this page add a note in the Ubers section saying not all legendaries are Ubers? I'm getting rather sick of people telling me off because I use legendaries that are part of OU/UU. Thanks. [[User:RegalStar|RegalStar]] 19:34, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

'''Smeargle''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ドーブル''' ''Doble'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Its single move, {{m|Sketch}}, allows it to learn nearly any move in existence.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Smeargle are unusual white and brown Pokémon that seem unremarkable at first, but they possess a tail with an end that resembles a paintbrush. This paintbrush is oozing with paint. The color of the paint is apparently different for each Smeargle. Although sprites from the game depict green, brown and red, the anime also shows yellow and blue. It's been implied that each Smeargle has a different colored tail.

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

====Special abilities====
Smeargle secretes a fluid from its tail, which can be used as paint. Smeargle is the only Pokémon known to express itself in an artistic fashion. Smeargle is also the only Pokémon that can learn ''any'' move '''permanently''' thanks to its [[signature move]], {{m|Sketch}}.

===Behavior===
Smeargle live in groups. When a Smeargle reaches adulthood, the other members of the group draw a paw-print pattern on its back. Those who refuse to let themselves be marked are ostracized from the pack.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Urban.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Urban Pokémon|Urban Pokémon]]]]
Smeargle are very adaptable, and can live just about anywhere. One can always tell when a Smeargle's territory is found because it will mark the boundary with the paint-like substance excreted by its tail.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:199episode.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Three Smeargle in the anime]]
Smeargle first appeared in ''[[PK07|Pikachu & Pichu]]'' as part of the [[Pichu Brothers]] Possé.

In ''[[EP197|The Art Of Pokémon]]'', a trio of Smeargle were vandalizing [[Whitestone]].

A Smeargle was used by one of the students of the {{g|Trainer's School}} in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]''.

A Smeargle was seen working in a nail salon in ''[[DP026|Getting the Pre-Contest Titters]]''.

==In the manga==
[[Whitney]] gave her Smeargle to [[DJ Mary]]. In the Emerald Saga, a lot of Smeargle were found in Artisan Cave.

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

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: After rescuing Smeargle from [[Howling Forest]], it will change the rescue base's flag on request.
* [[Pokémon Channel]]: A Smeargle appears in a television program called Smeargle's Art Study. He will rate the painting hanging on the player's bedroom wall, namely a picture the player made.

==Trivia==
* Smeargle is the only non-legendary, non-{{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon able to legally know {{m|Draco Meteor}}. Smeargle is also the only non-starter Pokémon able to legally know {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}} and {{m|Hydro Cannon}} and the only one able to legally know them all.
* Smeargle is one of three Pokémon legally able to use {{m|Transform}}, the others being {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Ditto}}.
* Since Sketch lets Smeargle learn any move, it can also pass down egg moves to any Pokémon in the {{egg3|Ground}}.
* In [[Generation II]] games, Smeargle's shiny form changes its original brownish color to green. In later games, however, green becomes its most common color, while the shiny color is red. The exception to this is [[Colosseum]], where its tail appears red.
*{{wp|paradox|Paradoxically}}, Smeargle is simultaneously the Pokémon with the smallest movepool (learning only one move ever, which ties it with {{p|Ditto}} and {{p|Unown}}) and the Pokémon with the largest movepool (using that move to "learn" almost any other move).

===Origin===
Smeargle appears to be based on a {{wp|beagle}} and a {{wp|painter}}.

====Name origin====
Smeargle's name may be a combination of ''smear'' and ''beagle''. Its Japanese name may be a combination of ''dog'' and ''doodle'' or ''dabble'' – to splatter liquid, which could be a reference to paint being splattered.

==In other languages==
* [[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Farbeagle - From ''Farbe'' (color) and ''beagle''.
* [[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Queulorior - From ''queue'' (tail) and ''colorier'' (color).

{{p|Chatot}} is a character in {{g|Mystery Dungeon 2}}. He is the head of intelligence of the guild and {{OBP|Wigglytuff|Mystery Dungeon 2 character}}'s second-in-command, as well as his best friend. Chatot assigns explorations to the [[Wigglytuff Guild|guild members]], and is in charge when Wigglytuff falls asleep. Although he means well, he can be somewhat hotheaded. His personality is also somewhat erratic, but to a lesser extent than Wigglytuff. Chatot accompanies the player and partner during the [[Brine Cave]] exploration, up until the relay point, where he angrily chases Team Skull. After reprimanding the wounded {{p|Skuntank}}, he heads forward, and when the player and partner spot him, he protects them and is attacked by {{p|Kabutops}} and the {{p|Omastar}} brothers, much like before, where he explored the same dungeon with Wigglytuff, and was attacked in the same manner.

After the credits roll, in the team's [[Mystifying Forest]] exploration, he plays as one of the "minions" of "the grand master of all things bad," A.K.A. Wigglytuff.

==In the anime==

Chatot made an appearance in the ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness]]'' as Wigglytuff's partner. He is voiced by 阪口大助 ''[[Daisuke Sakaguchi]]'' in Japanese and [[Maddie Blaustein]] in English.

Although he doesn't have much of a role outside of the guild, he explains to [[Team Poképals]] about the legend of the [[Time Gears]] and the evil work of [[Grovyle (Mystery Dungeon 2 character)|Grovyle the Thief]].

'''Belly Drum''' (Japanese: '''はらだいこ''' ''Belly Drum'') is a non-damaging {{type2|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation II]].

==Effect==
Belly Drum deducts one half of the user's maximum HP from its current HP and, in return, it maximizes the user's {{stat|Attack}} stat by raising it twelve stages (up to +6). Belly Drum fails if the user's current HP is less than half its maximum.

==Synopsis==
{{Incomplete synopsis}}
On their way to [[Celestic Town]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}} have to take {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} to the [[Pokémon Center]] after it collapsed from excessive contest training. Meanwhile, [[Team Rocket]], who were following the group on a slope, decide to have lunch in a luxury restaurant. But then [[Jessie]] notices that {{MTR}}'s golden charm is buried under rolls of flab. The trio now realizes that, due to them having lead a rich and luxurious life ever since they had earned the money at the summer school, they have become lazy and grown a lot in flesh. Wanting to return to their former "sharp and cool" shapes, they start a harsh training session and stage a robbery like their first appearance, on a Pokémon Center.

==Trivia==
* Both ''[[Team Rocket Forever]]'' and ''[[Face Forward Team Rocket!]]'' are used as background music, as well as ''[[Double Trouble]]''.
**Only a couple of verses were repeated over and over in Double Trouble, due to the fact that the 4Kids voice actors are in it. The only exception was the BG vocals
* Music from ''[[Pokémon Heroes]]'' is used.
* Team Rocket used their [[Team Rocket motto#Original motto|original motto]] in this episode, and the background music used in it from the [[original series]] can also be heard. James displayed his famous rose as well.
* Team Rocket makes a reference to their first [[Team Rocket's mechas|machine]] being vulnerable to Electric attacks, similar to theirs in this episode.
* [[Professor Oak's lecture]]: {{p|Chingling}}
* A girl who is seen in the Pokémon Center telling Dawn how she raised her {{p|Glaceon}} has a design very similar to [[Pietra]] from ''[[EP204|Right On, Rhydon!]]''.
* This episode marks the first appearance of {{p|Mew}} in an episode of the anime (although it is merely in one of {{MTR}}'s fantasies). As a result, this means that all of the [[Generation I]] Pokémon have appeared in an episode of the anime at some point.
* The disguise Team Rocket wears in this episode looks very similar to [[The Black Arachnid]]'s, especially when Meowth appears, which the Black Arachnid also owns.
* The dub's title is a pun on the phrase, "a lean mean fighting machine".
* According to {{p|Meowth}}'s translation, {{p|Piplup}} recognizes Team Rocket's disguised Pokémon, which rarely happens in the anime.
* Ash and Team Rocket read the title card.
*Pikachu is seen charging electricity for an attack in its tail, instead of the electric pouches in its cheeks as per norm.

'''Octillery''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''オクタン''' ''Okutank'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Remoraid}} starting at [[level]] 25.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Octillery are red cephalopod Pokémon with yellow bumps on their rock-hard heads and yellow suction cups on each tentacle. They possess 8 tentacles, two of them are used for manipulating objects while the other six don't appear to be used as much aside from a stabilizing role. Octillery may be a distant cousin of {{p|Gyarados}} and {{p|Milotic}}, since all three aquatic Pokémon evolve from weak fish-like Pokémon.

====Gender differences====
Female Octillery have smaller suction cups on their tentacles. The yellow bumps on their head are also smaller.

====Special abilities====
Octillery is much more powerful than its pre-evolved form, Remoraid, but it happens to be much slower. Octillery's tentacles boast stronger gripping power. It also is capable of using {{m|Sludge Bomb}}, {{m|Gunk Shot}}, {{m|Energy Ball}}, {{m|Flash Cannon}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}.

Octillery is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Octazooka}} by leveling up.

===Behavior===
===Habitat===
[[Image:Sea.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Sea Pokémon|Sea Pokémon]]]]
Both Octillery and {{p|Remoraid}} are normally found in oceans. However, they are occasionally found in freshwater lakes.

===Diet===
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

==In the anime==
[[Image:Halrey's Octillery.PNG|right|thumb|[[Harley]]'s Octillery]]
In ''[[EP215|Octillery The Outcast!]]'', a trainer in the [[Whirl Islands]] tried to get one of his Remoraid to evolve into an Octillery.

In ''[[AG021|Which Wurmple's Which?]]'', {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|friends}} were fishing and found an Octillery, which landed on [[Max]]'s head.

[[Harley]] has an Octillery. It debuted in ''[[AG160|Harley Rides Again]]'', where it defeated [[May's Munchlax]] in the [[Wisteria Town]] {{pkmn|Contest}}.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Special===
Octillery first appeared in {{PSV|10}} under [[Team Rocket]]'s control.

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

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: Octillery is the leader of Team Constrictor, a [[Rank#Mystery Dungeon|Silver Rank]] rescue team. It joins a new team with {{P|Blastoise}} and {{P|Golem}} designed to travel through [[Magma Cavern]], but is defeated.

==Trivia==
*Octillery is the only [[Generation II]] Pokémon whose name starts with an O (unless you take {{p|Feraligatr}}'s, {{p|Sentret}}'s, {{p|Furret}}'s and {{p|Stantler}}'s Japanese names into account (which are Ordile, Otachi, Ootachi, and Odoshishi in that order). The only Pokémon since then to have a name starting with an O in any language is Swellow's Japanese name, Ohsubame.
*Octillery is also the only non-{{t|Grass}} Pokémon, aside from {{p|Mantine}}, {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Gulpin}}, {{p|Swalot}} and {{p|Remoraid}}, to learn {{m|Bullet Seed}} and the only non-{{t|Rock}} Pokémon, aside from {{p|Wormadam}}'s {{t2|Ground|Sandy Cloak}} form, to learn {{m|Rock Blast}}. It is also the only non-{{t|Poison}} Pokémon to learn {{m|Gunk Shot}} by leveling up.
*Octillery is capable of learning up to 12 different-typed moves, discounting {{m|Hidden Power}}. The only type moves it cannot learn are {{t|Dragon}}, {{t|Fighting}}, {{t|Ghost}}, {{t|Ground}}, and {{t|Flying}}.
*Octillery's sprite in Platinum has darkened considerably compared to other games. This also happens with {{p|Scizor}}, {{p|Wooper}}, and {{p|Quagsire}}.
**Its {{v2|Platinum}} sprite is almost identical to its {{v2|Gold and Silver|s}} sprites. This also happens with {{p|Scizor}}.
*{{p|Remoraid}} and Octillery are the only non-legendary, non-{{type2|Ice}} Pokémon to learn Ice Beam naturally that do not gain Ice as a secondary type through evolution.
===Origin===
This [[Pokémon]] is based on an {{wp|octopus}}. It also has some basis on a tank.
====Name origin====
Octillery's name is a combination of ''octopus'' and ''{{wp|artillery}}'', referring to its many attacks with the "Beam" or similar suffixes. Similarly for ''Okutank'', but with ''{{wp|tank}}'' instead of ''artillery''.

'''Ash's Pikachu''' (Japanese: '''サトシのピカチュウ''' ''Satoshi's Pikachu'') was the [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]] obtained by {{Ash}} on his journey as a {{g|Trainer}}. Its universal voice actress is 大谷育江 ''[[Ikue Ohtani]]''. However, in some episodes during the first season of the English dub, [[Rachael Lillis]] provided its voice when the original Japanese track couldn't be saved.

==In the anime==
===History===
[[image:PikachuDP.png|thumb|left|Ash's Pikachu]]
In the first episode of the {{g|anime}}, ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', Ash woke up late the day he was supposed to go to [[Professor Oak]]'s laboratory to obtain his first Pokémon. When he arrived at the lab, the three available starter Pokémon, {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}} had already been taken by other trainers who arrived earlier. Seeing that Ash was disappointed, Professor Oak gave him Pikachu, which did not take a liking to its new trainer. It refused to go into a [[Poké Ball]], and when Ash failed to catch a wild Pokémon, it laughed at him. However, by the end of the episode, Ash gained Pikachu's trust by protecting it from an attack by a flock of {{p|Spearow}} and rushing it to the {{g|Center}}. Pikachu and Ash soon became inseparable. In ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]'', Ash gave Pikachu his consent to remain in a forest filled with Pikachu, but Pikachu returned to Ash's side.
 
[[Image:Ashs 1st pokeball.JPG|thumb|right|200px|Pikachu's [[Poké Ball]], which has a special lightning bolt mark. Ash carries it around but hasn't used it since the very first episode]]
In general, Pikachu as a species are not particularly powerful, but Ash's Pikachu is an anomaly, overcoming odds in battle numerous times. In ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', it defeated [[Brock's Onix]] with an {{type2|Electric}} attack that triggered the sprinkler system causing Onix to be drenched in water, one of its weaknesses. In ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'', Pikachu fought [[Lt. Surge]]'s {{TP|Lt. Surge|Raichu}} and lost. During a resulting hospital stay, it refused to become Raichu's equal by evolving via a {{evostone|Thunderstone}}, and in the second battle, Pikachu overcame Raichu by using its superior speed. In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', {{MTR}} remarked that Pikachu's power "far exceeds its evolutionary level." Ash's Pikachu has also defeated very high level Pokémon that Ash's other Pokémon were unable to, such as {{p|Dragonite}} and {{p|Metagross}}. It has helped Ash win innumerable battles and [[Gym]] and {{pkmn|League}} matches.

However, at times, {{p|Pikachu}} has lived up to its species' frail and brittle strengths, particularly in Gym battles where it was defeated with relative ease by its opponent; for example, it was overpowered very easily by [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]] (in their first battle), [[Sabrina's Kadabra]], [[Blaine's Magmar]] (Thanks to its use of the 'Air Lens' technique, which heated the air around Magmar to deflect electric attacks), [[Falkner's Pidgeot]] (Having already defeated his {{p|Hoothoot}} and {{p|Dodrio}}), [[Bugsy's Scyther]] (After already battling his {{p|Metapod}}), [[Whitney's Miltank]] (Defeating it in the rematch thanks to Ash's strategy and it being worn down by {{AP|Cyndaquil}} and {{AP|Totodile}}), [[Clair's Dragonair]], [[Roark's Rampardos]] ''and'' [[Fantina's Drifblim]]. It also drew against [[Winona]]'s {{p|Pelipper}}, which would have been an easy match considering Pikachu's enormous type advantage, due to Pelipper's technique of using {{m|Steel Wing}} to ground electric attacks. It also struggled against [[Crasher Wake's Floatzel]] too.

Pikachu is extremely loyal to Ash, and while it is not always immediately trusting of strangers, it is generally friendly to humans and Pokémon alike. It acted as a guardian and big sibling to [[Misty's Togepi]], and has been seen mediating and even breaking up fights among other Pokémon, such as in ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]''. In ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', Pikachu, {{MTR}}, and Meowth's clone were the only Pokémon not to participate in the giant battle; Pikachu stood motionless as its clone repeatedly slapped its face.

However, even Pikachu has had exceptions to this rule. During the Hoenn Saga, Pikachu developed amnesia at one point and sided with [[Team Rocket]] for a while. Later within the same series, Pikachu was possessed by the Red Orb and controlled by Groudon, nearly causing a disaster. On several occasions, Pikachu has developed an "electric flu" causing it to become overcharged, and extremely powerful. During these instances, Pikachu will sometimes attack its friends and Ash. In all of these cases, Pikachu did not intentionally mean harm upon anyone and Pikachu is always extremely sorry for what happened.

Since Ash's first encounter with [[Team Rocket]] in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', Pikachu has been pursued by the trio of [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}. Throughout the series, it has been Jessie, James and Meowth's desire to steal this Pokémon from Ash and present it to [[Giovanni|their boss]]. To do this, they have come up with many schemes. Though they try, try, and try some more, every last one of their plots fail, usually with the help of Ash, his friends, other Trainers, an [[Officer Jenny]], or even themselves (such as in the [[DP001|first episode]] of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}).

As shown in a handful of episodes, the first being ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'', Pikachu has a special fondness for ketchup, but it will eat and enjoy almost any other human or Pokémon food. A running joke in the anime also seems to be the destruction of a female character's [[bike]] with one of Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}}s at the beginning of each series, which then causes her to {{ashfr|follow Ash}} for the remainder of the series. This has happened to [[Misty]], {{an|May}}, and {{an|Dawn}} so far.

Pikachu is the primary mascot of the Pokémon franchise, mostly due to Ash's ownership of it. It appears on nearly all merchandise and promotional material for the series, and became, due to the anime, the [[version mascot]] of and only [[starter Pokémon]] in {{game|Yellow}}.

Pikachu became the second non-legendary to defeat a [[legendary Pokémon]] in the anime after {{AP|Charizard}}, beating [[Brandon's Regice]] in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier]]'', giving Ash his final [[Symbol|Frontier Symbol]].

Pikachu was also the only Pokémon to come with Ash to [[Hoenn]], and just the same one of only two Pokémon to join Ash on his journey to [[Sinnoh]]. It is worth noting that Ash tried to bring only Pikachu again but {{AP|Aipom}} snuck on board the ship. Up until the capture of [[Dawn's Pachirisu]], Pikachu was the only {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon in the anime owned by a main character.

In Hoenn, Pikachu learned how to surf. It also learned how to box from Ash in ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]''.

In Sinnoh, it defeated [[Roark]]'s Onix in the [[Oreburgh Gym]] rematch.

Pikachu battled again the [[Pastoria Gym]] battle, where it battled [[Crasher Wake]]'s Gyarados and defeated it with a {{m|Volt Tackle}} to the face. It also battled [[Crasher Wake's Floatzel]] for a moment, allowing [[Ash's Buizel]] a moment to recover.

In [[DP102]] Pikachu lost to [[Fantina's Drifblim]] after a fierce battle.

Moves that have been used most recently are italicized.

====Moves improvised====
An attack where Pikachu stored electricity in its tail similar to {{m|Tail Whip}} (although Tail Whip doesn't do any damage) was used to defeat [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]] in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]''

Thunder Armor was a one-time technique in the episode ''[[AG100|Solid as a Solrock]]'', Pikachu is seen using Thunder on itself while riding Ash's Swellow. This increased their attack power greatly, and they easily overpowered their opponents.

Volt Tail was used in ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'' against [[Sho]]'s {{p|Raichu}}. This is merely a combination of {{m|Volt Tackle}} and {{m|Iron Tail}}.
 

==In the games==
Pikachu was one of {{Ash}}'s three Pokémon in {{g|Puzzle League}}. {{ga|Red's Pikachu}} in {{game|Yellow}} and the [[Generation II]] games also seems to be based off of it. The Pikachu in the Super Smash Bros. series may be based on Ash's Pikachu.

==In the manga==
Pikachu has appeared in two mangas based on the anime, namely ''[[Ash & Pikachu]]'' and ''[[Electric Tale of Pikachu]]''. In both, it was Ash's [[starter Pokémon]], much like the [[EP001|first anime episode]], though in ''Electric Tale'', it was found in Ash's house, not given to him by Oak.

==Trivia==
[[Image:Ash'sHatAG.jpg|right|thumb|Ash and Pikachu.]]
*Ash's Pikachu is also the subject of many 'gamebreaking' abilities that normally do not fit in the general stasis of the games. This includes Pikachu's ability to sometimes hurt ground types with Electric moves (sparking the meme "Aim for the Horn!"), and using moves that do not exist, or moves in a way that do not work in the games, such as the infamous "Thunder Armor".
*Pikachu took a liking towards [[Misty]] in the beginning of the series. In ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]'' Misty was able to hold and pet Pikachu, something that Ash had not been capable of just [[EP001|two episodes earlier.]] Also, it refused to battle for Ash against her in Ash's Gym battle against Misty in ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City.]]'' It retained this liking towards Misty throughout the series, such as when it was very happy to see her again after [[AG044|a while]] in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team.]]''
*Pikachu is Ash's only {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon and was the only Electric-type owned by a main character in the anime until the capture of {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} by Dawn.
*For ''[[DP013|A Staravia is Born]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Ash's Pikachu. He writes this {{g|senryū}} about it: パートナー　サトシとピカチュウ　いいかんじ ''Partners Satoshi and Pikachu: a pleasant feeling''.
*Out of all five regions that Ash visited, [[Kanto]] and [[Hoenn]] are the only ones that Ash started out with just Pikachu. He did try to go to [[Sinnoh]] with Pikachu alone but Aipom followed him. At the beginning of each, Pikachu was also, in some way, injured, and ended up destroying the [[bike]] of a girl who would later travel with Ash.
*Throughout the series the yellowish color of Pikachu has become lighter and Pikachu's body has become more slender.
*Pikachu has never been seen defeating any of {{Gary}}'s Pokémon.
*Pikachu was used in all of Ash's Johto Gym matches.
*Pikachu was the first of Ash's Pokémon to disobey him. Other Pokémon that would do so, and be better remembered for their disobedience than Pikachu, are {{AP|Primeape}} and {{AP|Charizard}}.
*Although Pikachu has battled all the members of the {{p|Electabuzz}} evolutionary family at one time or another, ([[Rudy]]'s Electabuzz, [[Gary's Electivire]] and [[Paul's Elekid]]) it has not won even once. However Pikachu has defeated an Electabuzz ([[Dr. Namba]]'s) with the help of [[Sparky]]. On every other occasion, Pikachu fought one-on-one and either tied or lost.
*Ash's act of keeping Pikachu outside its Poké Ball on a permanent basis has been mimicked by several other characters in the anime. [[Ritchie]], when he first meets Ash, keeps [[Sparky]] inside of its ball, but later is shown to carry it on his shoulder much like Ash does. Dawn, likewise, does the same with her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}. Unlike Ash's Pikachu, however, neither Sparky nor Piplup is shown to have complained about being in the ball.
*Ash's Pikachu has only been seen returned to a Poké Ball once, during ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''. It has only come from a Poké Ball twice, the first time being when it was given to Ash by [[Professor Oak]] in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', and the second after being cloned in the first movie. {{an|Dawn}} once attempted to capture Pikachu, however, due to it being owned by Ash (and therefore already "marked" by a Poké Ball), she failed.
**In [[EP005|Ash's first battle with Brock]], he tries to call back Pikachu with its Poké Ball, but it is blocked by {{TP|Brock|Onix|Steelix}}'s {{m|Bind}}.

===Pikachu's language===
[[Image:Pikachu the Boxer.jpg|thumb|Boxing Pikachu]]Some of Pikachu's speech is consistent enough that it seems that some phrases actually mean something. For instance, Pikachu always uses "Pikapi" when referring to Ash (notice that it sounds somewhat similar to "Satoshi"). Other speech includes:
*PikaPikachu: ''My name is Pikachu''. When Ash and his friends are introducing themselves to the [[characters of the day]], it says this.
*Pi-Kachu: It says this during the sponsor spots in the original Japanese.
*Pikachu-Pi: ''[[Misty|Kasumi-chan]]'' (Misty)
*Pika-Chu: ''[[Brock|Takeshi]]'' (Brock)
*PiPiPi: ''{{TP|Misty|Togepi}}'' (Togepi)
*PikakaPika: ''[[Ash's Bulbasaur|Fushigidane]]'' (Bulbasaur)
*PikaPika: ''[[Ash's Squirtle|Zenigame]]'' (Squirtle) or ''[[Ash's Staravia|Mukubird]]'' (Staravia) or ''[[Ash's Chimchar|Hikozaru]]'' (Chimchar)
*PiPikachu: ''[[Team Rocket|Rocket-dan]]'' (Team Rocket). It also says this after Ash wins a badge, catches a new Pokémon or anything similar.
*Pi-ka: Used for multiple things such as "eiga" (movie) as seen during trailers for each upcoming {{g|movie}}. Can also be used for "yes".
*Pi-ka-chu?: ''Are you alright?'': When a character or Pokémon is injured, Pikachu says this.
*Specific names for {{Tracey}}, {{an|May}}, [[Max]], and {{an|Dawn}} have not been heard.
*Chuuu-Pika: ''{{m|Iron Tail}}''. It says this when using {{m|Iron Tail}}.
*Pika-Chuuuuuuuu: ''{{m|Thunderbolt}}''. It says this when using {{m|Thunderbolt}}.
*PikaPikaPika...Pi-ka: ''{{m|Volt Tackle}}''. It says this when using {{m|Volt Tackle}}
*ChuChuChu...: ''{{m|Quick Attack}}''. It may also say this when using {{m|Agility}}.
*PiPiPiPiPi...: ''{{m|Quick Attack}}''. It may also say this when using {{m|Agility}}.
**Pikachu will occasionally use pantomime to specify what it is talking about. In particular, it has a face to represent {{AP|Turtwig}}. Pikachu can also mime many other Pokémon which it demonstrated during [[DP033|a cosplay competition]].

===Gender debate===
Pikachu is the most seen Pokémon in the anime and fans have often wondered what gender Pikachu is. While this debate has existed since [[Generation II|gender was introduced]], it recently flared up due to [[gender differences]] being [[Generation IV|introduced in recent games]]. For the sake of neutrality, this article will assume Pikachu's gender is unknown until explicitly stated.

*Because there is no indent on Pikachu's tail, many cite this as proof that it is indeed male. Others disagree, noting Pikachu is from [[Kanto]] (which has not yet been shown to have Pikachu with indented tails in the games besides transferring a FR/LG Pikachu into Pal Park), and was introduced during the time of the [[Generation I]] games, before gender itself was even known for any Pokémon.
** Some also cite a crush that [[Dawn's Buneary]], who is female, has on Pikachu as proof.
** Also, Ash has, on several occasions, referred to his Pikachu as his "buddy".
**In the song ''[[Pikachu (I Choose You)]]'', Pikachu is referred to as Ash's brother.
**In ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]'', {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} are cheering for Dawn in cheerleader outfit, while Pikachu is wearing a male kimono. This may suggest Pachirisu, Piplup and Buneary are female, while Pikachu is male.
**In ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]'', it, {{AP|Turtwig}}, and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} also look embarrassed being in maid outfits, much like Ash himself is, which may indicate that Pikachu, Turtwig, and Piplup are male.
**In the episode ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'' Pikachu is carrying the shopping packages with Ash and Brock due to the Princess Festival rules, it may symbolize that he is a male too.
**In Latin America, the pronoun used to refer to Pikachu is 'he'.
* There is also some evidence supporting the theory that Pikachu might be female.
** Gender differences don't seem to apply consistently to Pokémon caught outside [[Sinnoh]].
** Misty has on at least one occasion pictured Pikachu in dresses.
** [[Dawn's Buneary]] relation with Pikachu is one sided meaning the Buneary might not know Pikachu's gender.
** [[Ash's Bayleef]]'s extreme rivalry with Pikachu for Ash might point to Pikachu being female too.

Despite there appearing more evidence that Pikachu is male, there isn't enough to definitively state whether it is male or female.

'''Ash's Pikachu''' (Japanese: '''サトシのピカチュウ''' ''Satoshi's Pikachu'') was the [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]] obtained by {{Ash}} on his journey as a {{g|Trainer}}. Its universal voice actress is 大谷育江 ''[[Ikue Ohtani]]''. However, in some episodes during the first season of the English dub, [[Rachael Lillis]] provided its voice when the original Japanese track couldn't be saved.

==In the anime==
===History===
[[image:PikachuDP.png|thumb|left|Ash's Pikachu]]

In general, Pikachu as a species are not particularly powerful, but Ash's Pikachu is an anomaly, overcoming odds in battle numerous times. In ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', it defeated [[Brock's Onix]] with an {{type2|Electric}} attack that triggered the sprinkler system causing Onix to be drenched in water, one of its weaknesses. In ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'', Pikachu fought [[Lt. Surge]]'s {{TP|Lt. Surge|Raichu}} and lost. During a resulting hospital stay, it refused to become Raichu's equal by evolving via a {{evostone|Thunderstone}}, and in the second battle, Pikachu overcame Raichu by using its superior speed. In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', {{MTR}} remarked that Pikachu's power "far exceeds its evolutionary level." Ash's Pikachu has also defeated very high level Pokémon that Ash's other Pokémon were unable to, such as {{p|Dragonite}} and {{p|Metagross}}.

It also drew against [[Winona]]'s {{p|Pelipper}}, which would have been an easy match considering Pikachu's enormous type advantage, due to Pelipper's technique of using {{m|Steel Wing}} to ground electric attacks.

In all of these cases, Pikachu did not intentionally mean harm upon anyone and Pikachu is always extremely sorry for what happened.

Since Ash's first encounter with [[Team Rocket]] in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', Pikachu has been pursued by the trio of [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}.

Volt Tail was used in ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'' against [[Sho]]'s {{p|Raichu}}. This is merely a combination of {{m|Volt Tackle}} and {{m|Iron Tail}}.
 

==In the games==
Pikachu was one of {{Ash}}'s three Pokémon in {{g|Puzzle League}}. {{ga|Red's Pikachu}} in {{game|Yellow}} and the [[Generation II]] games also seems to be based off of it. The Pikachu in the Super Smash Bros. series may be based on Ash's Pikachu.

==In the manga==
Pikachu has appeared in two mangas based on the anime, namely ''[[Ash & Pikachu]]'' and ''[[Electric Tale of Pikachu]]''. In both, it was Ash's [[starter Pokémon]], much like the [[EP001|first anime episode]], though in ''Electric Tale'', it was found in Ash's house, not given to him by Oak.

==Trivia==
[[Image:Ash'sHatAG.jpg|right|thumb|Ash and Pikachu.]]
*Ash's Pikachu is also the subject of many 'gamebreaking' abilities that normally do not fit in the general stasis of the games. This includes Pikachu's ability to sometimes hurt ground types with Electric moves (sparking the meme "Aim for the Horn!"), and using moves that do not exist, or moves in a way that do not work in the games, such as the infamous "Thunder Armor".
*Pikachu took a liking towards [[Misty]] in the beginning of the series. In ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]'' Misty was able to hold and pet Pikachu, something that Ash had not been capable of just [[EP001|two episodes earlier.]] Also, it refused to battle for Ash against her in Ash's Gym battle against Misty in ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City.]]'' It retained this liking towards Misty throughout the series, such as when it was very happy to see her again after [[AG044|a while]] in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team.]]''
*Pikachu is Ash's only {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon and was the only Electric-type owned by a main character in the anime until the capture of {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} by Dawn.
*For ''[[DP013|A Staravia is Born]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Ash's Pikachu. He writes this {{g|senryū}} about it: パートナー　サトシとピカチュウ　いいかんじ ''Partners Satoshi and Pikachu: a pleasant feeling''.
*Out of all five regions that Ash visited, [[Kanto]] and [[Hoenn]] are the only ones that Ash started out with just Pikachu. He did try to go to [[Sinnoh]] with Pikachu alone but Aipom followed him. At the beginning of each, Pikachu was also, in some way, injured, and ended up destroying the [[bike]] of a girl who would later travel with Ash.
*Throughout the series the yellowish color of Pikachu has become lighter and Pikachu's body has become more slender.
*Pikachu has never been seen defeating any of {{Gary}}'s Pokémon.
*Pikachu was the first of Ash's Pokémon to disobey him. Other Pokémon that would do so, and be better remembered for their disobedience than Pikachu, are {{AP|Primeape}} and {{AP|Charizard}}.
*Although Pikachu has battled all the members of the {{p|Electabuzz}} evolutionary family at one time or another, ([[Rudy]]'s Electabuzz, [[Gary's Electivire]] and [[Paul's Elekid]]) it has not won even once. However Pikachu has defeated an Electabuzz ([[Dr. Namba]]'s) with the help of [[Sparky]]. On every other occasion, Pikachu fought one-on-one and either tied or lost.
*Ash's act of keeping Pikachu outside its Poké Ball on a permanent basis has been mimicked by several other characters in the anime. [[Ritchie]], when he first meets Ash, keeps [[Sparky]] inside of its ball, but later is shown to carry it on his shoulder much like Ash does. Dawn, likewise, does the same with her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}. Unlike Ash's Pikachu, however, neither Sparky nor Piplup is shown to have complained about being in the ball.
*Ash's Pikachu has only been seen returned to a Poké Ball once, during ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''. It has only come from a Poké Ball twice, the first time being when it was given to Ash by [[Professor Oak]] in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', and the second after being cloned in the first movie. {{an|Dawn}} once attempted to capture Pikachu, however, due to it being owned by Ash (and therefore already "marked" by a Poké Ball), she failed.
**In [[EP005|Ash's first battle with Brock]], he tries to call back Pikachu with its Poké Ball, but it is blocked by {{TP|Brock|Onix|Steelix}}'s {{m|Bind}}.

===Pikachu's language===
[[Image:Pikachu the Boxer.jpg|thumb|Boxing Pikachu]]Some of Pikachu's speech is consistent enough that it seems that some phrases actually mean something. For instance, Pikachu always uses "Pikapi" when referring to Ash (notice that it sounds somewhat similar to "Satoshi"). Other speech includes:
*PikaPikachu: ''My name is Pikachu''. When Ash and his friends are introducing themselves to the [[characters of the day]], it says this.
*Pi-Kachu: It says this during the sponsor spots in the original Japanese.
*Pikachu-Pi: ''[[Misty|Kasumi-chan]]'' (Misty)
*Pika-Chu: ''[[Brock|Takeshi]]'' (Brock)
*PiPiPi: ''{{TP|Misty|Togepi}}'' (Togepi)
*PikakaPika: ''[[Ash's Bulbasaur|Fushigidane]]'' (Bulbasaur)
*PikaPika: ''[[Ash's Squirtle|Zenigame]]'' (Squirtle) or ''[[Ash's Staravia|Mukubird]]'' (Staravia) or ''[[Ash's Chimchar|Hikozaru]]'' (Chimchar)
*PiPikachu: ''[[Team Rocket|Rocket-dan]]'' (Team Rocket). It also says this after Ash wins a badge, catches a new Pokémon or anything similar.
*Pi-ka: Used for multiple things such as "eiga" (movie) as seen during trailers for each upcoming {{g|movie}}. Can also be used for "yes".
*Pi-ka-chu?: ''Are you alright?'': When a character or Pokémon is injured, Pikachu says this.
*Specific names for {{Tracey}}, {{an|May}}, [[Max]], and {{an|Dawn}} have not been heard.
*Chuuu-Pika: ''{{m|Iron Tail}}''. It says this when using {{m|Iron Tail}}.
*Pika-Chuuuuuuuu: ''{{m|Thunderbolt}}''. It says this when using {{m|Thunderbolt}}.
*PikaPikaPika...Pi-ka: ''{{m|Volt Tackle}}''. It says this when using {{m|Volt Tackle}}
*ChuChuChu...: ''{{m|Quick Attack}}''. It may also say this when using {{m|Agility}}.
*PiPiPiPiPi...: ''{{m|Quick Attack}}''. It may also say this when using {{m|Agility}}.
**Pikachu will occasionally use pantomime to specify what it is talking about. In particular, it has a face to represent {{AP|Turtwig}}. Pikachu can also mime many other Pokémon which it demonstrated during [[DP033|a cosplay competition]].

===Gender debate===
Pikachu is the most seen Pokémon in the anime and fans have often wondered what gender Pikachu is. While this debate has existed since [[Generation II|gender was introduced]], it recently flared up due to [[gender differences]] being [[Generation IV|introduced in recent games]]. For the sake of neutrality, this article will assume Pikachu's gender is unknown until explicitly stated.

*Because there is no indent on Pikachu's tail, many cite this as proof that it is indeed male. Others disagree, noting Pikachu is from [[Kanto]] (which has not yet been shown to have Pikachu with indented tails in the games besides transferring a FR/LG Pikachu into Pal Park), and was introduced during the time of the [[Generation I]] games, before gender itself was even known for any Pokémon.
** Some also cite a crush that [[Dawn's Buneary]], who is female, has on Pikachu as proof.
** Also, Ash has, on several occasions, referred to his Pikachu as his "buddy".
**In the song ''[[Pikachu (I Choose You)]]'', Pikachu is referred to as Ash's brother.
**In ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]'', {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} are cheering for Dawn in cheerleader outfit, while Pikachu is wearing a male kimono. This may suggest Pachirisu, Piplup and Buneary are female, while Pikachu is male.
**In ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]'', it, {{AP|Turtwig}}, and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} also look embarrassed being in maid outfits, much like Ash himself is, which may indicate that Pikachu, Turtwig, and Piplup are male.
**In the episode ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'' Pikachu is carrying the shopping packages with Ash and Brock due to the Princess Festival rules, it may symbolize that he is a male too.
**In Latin America, the pronoun used to refer to Pikachu is 'he'.
* There is also some evidence supporting the theory that Pikachu might be female.
** Gender differences don't seem to apply consistently to Pokémon caught outside [[Sinnoh]].
** Misty has on at least one occasion pictured Pikachu in dresses.
** [[Dawn's Buneary]] relation with Pikachu is one sided meaning the Buneary might not know Pikachu's gender.
** [[Ash's Bayleef]]'s extreme rivalry with Pikachu for Ash might point to Pikachu being female too.

Despite there appearing more evidence that Pikachu is male, there isn't enough to definitively state whether it is male or female.

== Nicknames for species? ==

I think Shedinjask may be on the right track as far as that goes... this page needs to be cleaned up anyway... lemme get a list of the nicknames and I'll see, eh?

Do people still do that? I'd say using Iron Ball or Lagging Tail would be far more effective in the current generation. --[[User:Phred|Phred]] 04:05, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

== a question ==

can someone please explain this whole "metagame" thing to me? There seems not to be a [[Metagame]] article. [[:User:Origamiguy|OrigamiGuy</nowiki>">折り紙ガイ]] 12:03, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Also, it would be nice if we had a list of OU UU and NU pokemon. [[User:Noname|Noname]]
:I agree. I'd like to know what Pokémon are OU, UU, and NU. I swear i saw an article on there before, but i can't remember which one. I really have no idea what Pokémon are UU, NU, and OU, But it'd be nice too see if any of the Pokémon in my main party are Overused or Underused.

:Since Smogon.com pretty much controls the metagame, if you can prove to them that it works well enough there, and they come up with a cool name for it, then yes. Good luck. (looks at Solrock page). [[User:PsychoRobo|PsychoRobo]] 19:51, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

== Proof? ==

"Shaymin in its Sky Forme may also see use as a flinchaxor, due to its Serene Grace, high Speed and Special Attack, and the ability to learn Air Slash."

== Garchomp now considered Uber ==
{{p|Garchomp}} has been added to the Uber tiers at Smogon.com so I've added him to the Ubers list.

Definitions for most parts are wrong. These terms stemmed out from Smogon as usage based tiers and I am changing the definitions to reflect that.--[[User:Outrage DD|Outrage DD]] 20:01, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
::[http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11508 SMogon Thread regarding Tiers] So I'm not saying that Competitive Battlign = Smogon always, but that these terms did originate from that source, and must have the proper definitions.--[[User:Outrage DD|Outrage DD]] 20:09, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
::Also forgot to add this quote from that thread that will sum this all up "People want to know which Pokemon are good. Now lets think about this: "since we are basing standards on which Pokemon are used in a competitive enviroment (namely, what you would use in a tournament), would someone over use a bad Pokemon?" No. People want to win, and since people like to use the best Pokemon, we have a correlation between usage and power. The problem comes around when people group Pokemon obviously meant for the BL tier in the OU tier and it becomes a meaningless list of what people think is strong"--[[User:Outrage DD|Outrage DD]] 20:11, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

== Stop ==

Can whoever keeps editing {{p|Garchomp}} off the Uber list please stop it. Especially since you aren't giving any reasons for removing it. [[User:Mr. Black|Mr. Black]] 05:49, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
:{{p|Castform}} = NU. Castform's {{m|Blizzard}} = OHKO on Garchomp. That's why I keep removing Garchomp from Uber. [[user:chocolate|Cho]][[user talk:chocolate|col]][[special:contributions/chocolate|ate]] 14:39, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

:I don't even think anyone should even humor that kind of stupidity and ignorance to the ways of the game. Garchomp was extensively tested by players much better than you. If you're going to dispute the logic of Smogon, at least come up with an argument more effective than "it can be one-hit killed by Castform." The icing on the cake is that you're not even correct, considering it runs Yache Berry. [[user:Lulz|Lulz]] 10:43, 28 November 2008 (EST)

::And '''I''' actually tested it myself. The Garchomp '''did''' even have Yache Berry, and my Castform still OHKO'd it with Blizzard. If Garchomp can be OHKO'd by a NU even when it's holding a Yache Berry, there's no way it's Uber. [[User:Chocolate|Chocolate]][[User talk:Chocolate|((Talk to Me]][[Special:Contributions/Chocolate||Look at My Contributions))]] 19:44, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

:::Once again, you are ignorant to the ways of the game. That is not a competitive situation. Castform will never realistically be able to kill Garchomp with Blizzard because it has 70 Speed and no defenses. Let's say I have a Garchomp out against something that can't do shit to anything to it, like a Blissey without Ice Beam (and yes, they are common, Flamethrower is often over Ice Beam). If you switch your Castform in, I will use Swords Dance and outrun/kill it with Earthquake. The only time Castform will EVER outrun Garchomp is with a Choice Scarf, in which case you will do 61.45% - 72.63% with Blizzard, factoring in Yache and a +SpA nature. The only time you'll ever have a shot at OHKOing a 4 HP/min SpD Garchomp with Blizzard is if you run Modest Choice Specs, which won't even do it 100% of the time and I will still outrun and kill you with Earthquake. Now, I'd also like to get into the fact that this isn't even how tiers work. Pokemon aren't rated for their sturdiness at all. It should be noted that Deoxys-A is an Uber even though it actually will die to virtually any attack with 50/20/20 defenses. This is because it outruns just about everything in OU save for Ninjask (it can even run Extremespeed for it) and it has amazing type coverage + 180 in both attacking stats. If your test, which consists of taking a faulty calculation out of context and throwing it out there, was the way Smogon tested for Uber status, Deoxys-A would be in OU. Even if Garchomp DID die to Castform Blizzard (it doesn't always even with specs, you clearly were fighting a Garchomp with crappy IVs/Nature/etc.), it still wouldn't be Uber because the reason for it being banned was that if it switched in on something that couldn't damage it, which is quite a few things, it was essentially guaranteed a kill because with a Swords Dance it could 2HKO anything in OU and nothing could reliably OHKO it through the Yache except for Choice Band Weavile who is risking getting killed by any one of Garchomp's attacks if it switches in on a Scarfer or Bander by mistake. Let's not even mention that it might be running SUBSTITUTE, in which case Weavile is completely screwed if it stays in. Your logic is incredibly faulty and if you continue editing Garchomp out of Ubers even after reading this, I can't imagine what anybody could say to convince you of anything at all. [[user:Lulz|Lulz]] 23:40, 28 November 2008 (EST)

::::Only things is, it's not only '''one''' Garchomp. My Castform has OHKO'd '''5''' of them with just Blizzard. [[User:Chocolate|Chocolate]][[User talk:Chocolate|((Talk to Me]][[Special:Contributions/Chocolate||Look at My Contributions))]] 01:36, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
:::::Check the Archives. This has been discussed before. Just Because technically Fearow beats Heracross doesnt mean that Fearow is OU or Heracross Is UU. Tiers are not a "This pokemon trumps all below this category" Its a "Stats better, movepool better, typing better, therefore its the better pokemon"[[User:DCM|DCM]][[User talk:DCM|((Shut the **** up]][[Special:Contributions/DCM|Spy on My Edits))]]

::::::But some of Garchomp's stats are horrible. Like its {{Stat|Special Defense}}. [[User:Chocolate|Chocolate]][[User talk:Chocolate|((Talk to Me]][[Special:Contributions/Chocolate||Look at My Contributions))]] 01:41, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
:::::::True. But Heracross has terrible stats too. But one stat doesnt sink a pokemon, and when you look at his movepool and what attacks he learns to benefit it, along with his typing, he is incredible, near broken[[User:DCM|DCM]][[User talk:DCM|((Shut the **** up]][[Special:Contributions/DCM|Spy on My Edits))]]
::::::::Don't say true, it's not true. Garchomp's Special Defense is not horrible in the least, it's actually quite decent. Combined with 108 HP, 85 SD is very respectable. I made a very long summary of the overcentralizing aspects of Garchomp and it's not Uber because it has "horrible" special defense? Which you define as 85? I'd also like to add that you said SOME of its stats are horrible. Other than Special Defense and Special Attack (which it doesn't even need on its most broken set), which are horrible, none of its stats are below 95, so I don't see where you get "some of Garchomp's stats are horrible". It doesn't have a single stat that can be defined as horrible, and it isn't "near broken". It IS broken. Chocolate you cannot argue with my calculation, you are obviously battling on Wi-Fi where there are a lot more factors than there are on a battling simulator like Shoddy Battle, where these Pokemon are being tested at their full potential. [[user:Lulz|Lulz]] 24:13, 2 December 2008 (EST)

{{Indent}} I will never agree with Garchomp being Uber no matter what. [[User:Chocolate|Chocolate]][[User talk:Chocolate|((Talk to Me]][[Special:Contributions/Chocolate||Look at My Contributions))]] 15:40, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
:Then you are not being objective and you shouldn't be editing a Wiki article. [[user:Lulz|Lulz]] 4:18, 18 December 2008 (EST)

::TBH, none of this is even fact. Tiers are nothing but a matter of opinion. People are bound to disagree with what Pokémon belong in what tiers, making it a matter of opinion. Simply, I don't believe in Garchomp's true strengths, and that's just my 2¢. I'd appreciate if we could just stop arguing about this. [[Santa Claus|♥]][[User:Chocolate|Chocolate]] ([[wp:Christmas|Merry Christmas!]]) 01:16 12/19/2008

:::Castform's Blizzard also 1HKOs 32/8 Rayquaza. I don't mean anything by saying this though - merely did the calc on a whim. [[User:RegalStar|RegalStar]] 06:03, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

== EV spreads ==

I'm editing out any mention of (exact) EV spreads since for the most part they are opinionative. For example, someone mentioned a 126/126 EV spread for Infernape's offenses saying that is the standard. It is not, and its only the standard with those who are inexperienced and believe that Infernape would benefit more from this spread when it really doesn't ( 126 Atk EVs doesn't OHKO a Blissey and 24 EVs gives a good enough shot). Besides, it sounds too much like we're telling people what to use, and people ''do'' tailorr EV spreads for their specific needs.--[[User:Outrage DD|Outrage DD]] 15:00, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Actually, 126 ATK EVs is enough to OHKO Blissey with Life Orb (any Infernape running 126 / 126 without Life Orb is foolish) and it is the most common Infernape in Wi-Fi Competitive Battling. I'm not saying put it back in there or anything, just pointing that out [[User:Mr. Black|Mr. Black]] 10:40, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

== Trivia ==
* The episode's title is a parody on {{wp|Fairy Tales}}.
* This episode title is almost identical to that of a chapter in the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga, [[DP01-03|Clefairy Tale]].
* Near the end of this episode, a chef said he was going to cook {{wp|chicken}}. This leads reason to believe that animals may exist in the {{g|world}}.
* This episode raised many theories on which Pokémon are indeed aliens. Many believe that alien Pokémon are in fact Pokémon in the {{egg3|Fairy}}. The evidence backing this theory is the fact that the scanner beeped when near Clefairy, Jigglypuff, and Misty (holding Togepi, which evolves into Togetic). In addition, some could say that when Oswald's scanner beeps when detecting Team Rocket's "aliens", it was actually beeping when Ash approached it with Pikachu, another member of the Fairy egg group.
* Team Rocket, disguised as aliens, mutter something that is heard as "nomekop," which happens to be the word "Pokémon" said backwards.

=== Errors ===
* The box for the VHS tape of this episode has Oswald's name as "Orville".
* In this episode, Jigglypuff was shown to be taller than Clefairy, when in actuality, it is the other way around.
* When the gang falls out of the rocket ship on to the skyscraper, they don't have Brock's backpack, but later he is seen wearing it.

'''Ash's Gliscor''' (Japanese: '''サトシグライオン''' ''Satoshi's Glion'') is the fourth Pokémon [[captured Pokémon|captured]] by [[Ash Ketchum]], and his only fully evolved so far, in the [[Sinnoh]] region. Its voice actor as Gligar in both English and Japanese is 小西克幸 ''[[Katsuyuki Konishi]]''.

==History==
Ash caught Gliscor as a Gligar in ''[[DP064|Riding the Winds of Change!]]'' It, along with many other {{p|Gligar}} and a {{TP|Paul|Gliscor}} had become trapped in a city after being blown there by a violent windstorm. Gliscor's attempts at using sonar to navigate out of the city were blocked by the tall buildings, and only served to attract more Gligar and the Pokémon soon formed a pack.
[[Image:Ash's Gligar 2.jpg|thumb|183px|left|As a Gligar]]
The pack survived by picking fruit from trees, and stealing food from humans. After Ash and his friends helped the pack, {{p|Gligar}} decided to travel with Ash, allowing him to capture it.

Gligar seems to have a habit of sticking out its tongue and winking when appearing. It also has the tendency to crash land on top of Ash due to its inability to glide properly. It would also cry when scolded by Ash as shown in ''[[DP081|Chim - Charred! ]]'' and ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear With Fear!]]''. Not only that, Gligar seems to be a crybaby of sorts, tearing up very often, especially in fear. Additionally, Gligar seems to be extremely eager to win Ash's attention and approval.

It evolved into a Gliscor in ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear With Fear!]]'' in order to save Ash from a fall. It used the [[Razor Fang]] Ash received from [[Gary Oak|Gary]] after Gligar had a practice battle with [[Gary's Umbreon|his Umbreon]]. It also perfected {{m|X-Scissor}}. It appears to have kept its personality traits even after evolution, as it still cries when scolded by Ash and also winks and sticks its tongue out.

In [[DP100]], Gliscor was used as a sparring partner by [[Paul's Torterra]] to help illustrate how [[Ash's Grotle]] could deal with its reduced speed.

In [[DP101]], Gliscor battled Jun's Roserade and the battle ended in a tie, with both Pokémon knocking each other out at the same time.

In [[DP106]], Gliscor learned {{m|Fire Fang}} and is revealed to have learned {{m|Screech}}.

==Moves used==

* {{m|X-Scissor}}
* {{m|Sand-Attack}}
* {{m|Steel Wing}}
* {{m|Screech}}
* {{m|Fire Fang}}

==Trivia==
* Gliscor is the third {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon Ash has ever owned whose other type wasn't Normal, the other two being {{AP|Butterfree}} and {{AP|Charizard}}.
* Ash's capture of Gligar brought another {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} to the protagonists in the [[Diamond & Pearl series]], the others being {{TP|Dawn|Aipom}} and {{TP|Brock|Sudowoodo}}. Gligar has since evolved into Gliscor, a {{cat|Generation IV Pokémon}}.
* Gliscor and [[Dawn's Mamoswine]] are the only Pokémon in the party of Ash and his friends that aren't in the original [[Sinnoh Pokédex]]. [[Jessie]], however, has {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}, {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} and {{TP|Jessie|Yanmega}}.
* Gligar's means of capture was similar to [[Ash's Squirtle]], in that it was part of a group of Pokémon of its species causing trouble for a town, joined because it wanted to go with Ash, filled Ash's [[party]] with six members, and was captured shortly before Ash met up with the region's third [[Gym Leader]].
* Gligar appeared on {{rt|215}}, a route where it is possible to catch Gligar via the [[dongle method]] using {{game|Emerald}}.
* Gligar was the fourth Pokémon caught by Ash to debut with no revealed attacks, after {{AP|Krabby}}, {{AP|Muk}}, and {{AP|Tauros}}. Its battle debut wasn't until ''[[DP070|The Bells are Singing!]]'', revealing three attacks at once. It is, however, the only Pokémon of Ash's Sinnoh team to not debut with any attacks at all.
* In ''[[DP068|A Triple Fighting Chance!]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Ash's Gligar.
* Gliscor appears to show behavior that is like [[Ash's Bayleef]] and {{AP|Aipom}}. This is shown in ''[[DP070|The Bells are Singing!]]'' when Gligar hugs Ash.
** In ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]'', Gligar appeared to be blushing just moments before it tackled Ash to the floor; why it did so is unclear, but may be further evidence that it might be female.
** Further, in ''[[DP081|Chim - Charred!]]'' Gligar repeatedly goes to Ash for hugs and affection. Gligar listens very intently and contemplatively to Ash's encouragement, seeming to drink in his every word, and is even startled when the other Pokémon encourage it. This behavior is also calls to mind [[Ash's Bayleef]] and [[Dawn's Ambipom|Ash's Aipom]], both of whom showed interest in Ash and are both female Pokémon. Also, the three Pokémon have English names which are also similar to their respective Japanese names, and each has evolved once.
** Yet another parallel between the three Pokémon is that they each evolved to save their trainers from danger; Chikorita evolved into Bayleef to save Ash, Aipom evolved into Ambipom to save Dawn, while Gligar evolved into Gliscor to save Ash.
** Another interesting relationship to note of is that these three Pokémon have run away from Ash (due to a conflict between them) at various points of time (Bayleef did so in ''[[EP200|Turning Over a New Bayleef]]'', Aipom did so in ''[[AG182|Aipom and Circumstance]]'', while Gliscor did so in ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear With Fear!]]'', when it was still a Gligar), but they patch things up with him pretty quickly, usually strengthening their bond at the end of the episode.
* ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear With Fear!]]'', the episode in which Gligar evolved into Gliscor, first aired in Japan on the Thursday of the same week that the dub of ''[[DP064|Riding the Winds of Change]]'', the episode in which Gligar is captured, first aired in the United States. The same happened thing to [[Dawn's Piloswine]].
* Gliscor is Ash's only Pokémon and the third of a main character's Pokémon to evolve via an item ([[Razor Fang]]). The first one was [[Misty's Politoed]] ([[King's Rock]]) and the second was [[Brock's Ludicolo]] ({{evostone|Water Stone}}). Coincidentally, all these Pokémon evolved with items that belonged to someone else, and the Pokémon belong to the anime's original three protagonists.
[[Image:AshridingGliscor.jpg|220px|Gliscor carrying Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}}|thumb|right]]
* Gliscor is the third Generation IV Pokémon to evolve from a Generation II Pokémon on-screen after [[Dawn's Ambipom]] and [[Jessie's Yanmega]], and the fourth Generation II Pokémon to evolve into a Generation IV Pokémon overall, since [[Paul's Murkrow]] evolved into Honchkrow off-screen between ''[[DP064|Riding the Winds of Change!]]'' and ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]''.
* Gliscor now shares a trait with {{AP|Glalie}} as the Pokémon that filled up Ash's sixth party slot in [[Hoenn]] and Sinnoh, respectively, and evolving soon after.
* Ash's Gliscor is smaller than [[Paul's Gliscor]], a relationship similar to that which [[Ash's Krabby]] shared with a {{p|Krabby}} that another [[Gary Oak|rival]] of Ash's caught.
* Gliscor is the only one of Ash's {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon to have some difficulties in flying, or in its case, gliding. Unfortunately for Gliscor, it also had difficulty moving on the ground after its evolution, something that was used comically in [[DP094]]. It appears to have overcome this by [[DP100]] by bouncing on its tail.
*Gliscor is the only one in Ash's current team who can have more than one ability, which is still currently unknown.
*Gliscor is the only member of Ash's [[Sinnoh]] [[team]] who has yet to participate in a Gym Battle.
*Similar to {{AP|Corphish}}, Gliscor mostly functions as the comedic relief on Ash's team (i.e. crash landing, getting left behind by [[Brock]], bouncing around on its tail, etc.), although {{AP|Staravia}} shares this role at times.
**Coincidentally both have clawed appendages.

RegalStar:

Several Pokémon, such as [[Unown]] and the [[Magnemite]] evolutionary line, do not say anything at any level, other than "Shhnnn... shhnnn..." This should probably be noted but I don't know the best way to word it, nor do I know all of the Pokémon who are like this. They seem to mostly be the "non-biological" ones... [[User:DocSigma|DocSigma]] 13:03, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
:Adding onto that, both my {{p|Drifblim}} and my {{p|Golbat}} said something about being shunned... but they said it at LV. 4 happiness and LV. 1 happiness, respectively. We should probably put something on there that tells the reader that some Pokémon say different things, but I'm not sure how to word it...--The [[Blastoise (Pokémon)|Kk]][[Gary's Blastoise|ll]][[Blastoise (TCG)|nn]][[User:Kkllnn|ator]] [[User Talk:Kkllnn| blastoise]] 22:08, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Okay, based on my Lileep, Haunter, Vulpix and Lickilicky, I added a couple of others. I remember a full L4 Ghost would say something about chomping on the trainer's neck, but I forgot some of it.
- ''unsigned comment from [[User:Draikonor|Draikonor]] ([[User talk:Draikonor|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Draikonor|contribs]]){{ #if: | {{{2}}} |}}''

Clefairy's quote on level 4 (I got the ribbon on this level): "If I said there can be friendship between Pokémon and people, will <sc>Pokémon</sc>'s friends understand? But if you see <sc>Trainer</sc> and <sc>Pokémon</sc>, you will understand. Because <sc>Trainer</sc> and <sc>Pokémon</sc> are friends!" - Maybe different Pokémon sometimes have different level 4 quotes as well? [[User:RegalStar|RegalStar]] 22:58, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Repel

2008-12-03T18:46:05Z

RegalStar: /* Super Repel */

A '''Repel''' is an item which lets the {{player}} walk a certain number of steps without encountering Pokémon with a lower level than the first member in the player's party. It is manufactured by [[Silph Co.]], and is sold in most Poké Marts. Its design is similar to that of an aerosol can and is similar to insect repellent. It is available in three strengths.

==Types of Repel==
===Repel===
The most standard and common type of Repel. It keeps lower level Pokémon away for 100 steps and can be bought from Poké Marts for {{PDollar}}350.

===Super Repel===
An improved Repel that does the same job as regular Repel, however for 200 steps. Super Repel costs {{PDollar}}500. It is found at most Poké Marts. It's the most cost effective Repel of the three.

===Max Repel===
Max Repel is the best Repel and works for 250 steps. It is the most expensive at {{PDollar}}700. It is rare, but is available later in the game.

==[[Image:Cleanse_Tag_sprite.png]]Cleanse Tag==
Keeps wild Pokémon away if the first Pokémon in a party holds it. It is found in the top floor of the [[Lost Tower]] at the bottom of [[Solaceon Town]] ({{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}). Not purchasable.

Move variations

2008-12-01T06:42:27Z

RegalStar: /* Variations of Quick Attack */ Since when is Vacuum Wave Hitmonchan's signature move?

'''Move variations''' are moves that are identical to each other in terms of damage, PP, and accuracy, but have different [[elemental types]], [[damage category|damage categories]], or secondary effects. Below are the various move archetypes and the moves that fall into their categories.

"Move archetypes" are listed by base damage. Within each archetype table, moves are listed by generation first, to show the original basis of the move, and then listed alphabetically.

RegalStar: /* 2 Rivals */

This page belongs in the anime section of the game character. We have it for almost all the other game characters that appear in the anime so why should this be any different. [[User:Jmath|'''Jm''']][[User talk:Jmath|'''a''']][[Special:Contributions/Jmath|'''th''']] 14:00, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
:Because he's different. He's a [[Cross-canon counterparts|Cross-canon counterpart]]. It would be just like having Ash as a subsection of {{ga|Red}}'s article. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 14:04, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
::No he isn't. Jun is basically the same character. Unlike Ash and Red who have some differences. [[User:Jmath|'''Jm''']][[User talk:Jmath|'''a''']][[Special:Contributions/Jmath|'''th''']] 14:08, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
::Shut up, he is! He's a [[Cross-canon counterparts|Cross-canon counterpart]]. We have articles on all Cross-canon counterparts: {{Ash}}, {{Gary}}, {{jo|Jimmy}}, {{jo|Marina}}, [[Vincent]] {{an|May}} and {{an|Dawn}}, we also have articles on ALL manga counterparts, then why not on Jun, too? He's got a FULL appearance, unlike {{ga|Silver}}, [[Brendan]] and [[Lucas]], so he fully deserves a specific article. He is also a MAIN game rival (unlike [[Wally]], who didn't appear in anime, but if he did, he would deserve nothing more than an anime subsection in the game article). Remember for your life - Cross-canon counterpart = Different Character! --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 14:04, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
:::They can only be cross-canon counterparts if one of the characters are based off on the other. But Jun is exactly the same as his game character. Personality, Pokémon, everything. [[User:Jmath|'''Jm''']][[User talk:Jmath|'''a''']][[Special:Contributions/Jmath|'''th''']] 14:14, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
::::No, that's not true. Any MAIN character counterpart is considered different (except the mentioned three, whose appearances weren't long enough) and please, don't say anything about his personality. That's what we call gun-jumping. We don't even really know what Pokémon will he posess. Rival counterpart = Different character. It's a thing you just have to remember. Don't act like you know more than me about Pokémon. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 14:17, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
:::::We don't even know if Jun will be appearing again. And even if Jun is different so should the countless number of game characters that appeared in the show. [[User:Jmath|'''Jm''']][[User talk:Jmath|'''a''']][[Special:Contributions/Jmath|'''th''']] 14:20, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
::::::{{jo|Jimmy}} also appeared for only one episode (though I agree that he SHOULD NOT be put to the template). So, your logic fails. He's an Inter-Media Counterpart not matter if you like it or not. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 14:22, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
:::::::I was not talking about Jimmy. I'm talking about all the gym leaders, game villains, Elite 4, heck even [[Cheryl]] and [[Mira]]. [[User:Jmath|'''Jm''']][[User talk:Jmath|'''a''']][[Special:Contributions/Jmath|'''th''']] 14:24, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
::::::::Then why does {{jo|Jimmy}} have an article about him in your opinion? He's just an one-time character, so shouldn't he be just a subsection of {{ga|Gold}} according to your logic? The Gym Leaders, Villains, Elite 4 and Other Characters you mentioned are actually the same characters in all canons they appear. It's generally accepted that only counterparts of MAIN game characters count as separate characters. Main characters = Game protagonists, Rivals (the characters you can name, in general). It's a generally-accepted standard and Jun meets it. So, don't argue. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 14:29, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
::::::::: Jmath does have a point, Dawn's mother doesn't have an article, and she's pretty important, I would even say more important than Jun, because Johanna has a relation to Dawn. I don't see why Jun would deserve his own article. When Johanna even doesn't. --[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] 14:32, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
::::::::::FAIL. Johanna is not a MAIN game characters, not a rival or protagonist, she is just a mother. She may be important in the anime, in the games she's not. So, her anime incarnation DOES NOT deserve an article. Your argument failed like a bomb in ocean. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 14:34, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
:::::::::::Jimmy isn't exactly same as Gold. They're still different just as Ash and Red are different. And by your logic, May and Dawn should go also be in the games page. [[User:Jmath|'''Jm''']][[User talk:Jmath|'''a''']][[Special:Contributions/Jmath|'''th''']] 14:37, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
::::::::::::No, they shouldn't. Because they are protagonists/rivals. My main criteria is not the importance of the character in the other canon, name difference or design differences but rather his ROLE IN THE GAME. This is a criteria everyone here agrees with. You're arguing with me for no reason. And you keep losing. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 14:40, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
: Professor Oak, Professor Birch, Professor Elm, Professor Rowan also don't have their own articles (And argue all you want but Professor OAK IS IMPORTANT IN THE GAMES). And plus what you said makes no sense, how is a parent/relative less important than a game rival? Add to the fact we have articles of COTD's and still other characters don't have their own articles. SO YOUR LOGIC FAILS. --[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] 14:44, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
::No, it does not fail. The Professors are important, but they're not MAIN characters. And saying that protagonist's parent who just sits in house and sometimes enter Contests is more important that the game rival is just RIDICULOUS. Please, don't insist that you know anything about the things you have no idea about. It's what I hate the most in people like you. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 14:48, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
::: Then why the hell do we have articles of people who only showed up once in the anime when these characters I mentioned showed up more than once. See that doesn't make sense. Sure argue I don't know what the hell I'm talking about but you don't either. --[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] 14:50, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
::::Please, leave COTDs away. They are completely unrelated here. They are completely unrelated to the game characters we are currently talking about. If they appeared in the game, they would have one articles on all their incarnations, but they NEVER appear in the games, so they have only one article - about their one and only incarnation - the anime one. So sorry, you fail again. Your reasons are one of the most stupid ones I've heard in awhile. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 14:54, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
::::IT MAKES NO SENSE. Why is Jun so important, just because he's a damn rival protaginist? If Jun appears only once he's just akin to a COTD. So he get's his own article (just like COTD's). Again it makes no sense. Jun could not important at all, his anime team mirrors his team in the games, which I can't say the same about Professor Oak, Johanna, Professor Elm, and blah blah blah, because they have differences between the two. Professor Oak never had Dragonite in the games, and Johanna never had a Glameow in the games (she only had a Kangaskhan).You know I can understand that it would make some articles with little information(a paragraph at the most). But remember COTD's information really small (just pointing to the connection not importance). And besides if Johanna's game information was so damn important, it would show up on this page http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Mom. And when I pointed to the COTDs, you totally missed the point. See your arguement is if they didn't have a important role in the games they don't deserve their own article. Okay I get it but why is it when they aren't important to the anime they deserve their own article. Isn't that a double standard? --[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] 15:14, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
:::::He may be a COTD in the anime but in the game he's a MAIN character and all his Cross-canon incarnations count as separate characters. It's you who started mixing random characters to this. They have no bearing here. They're a separate issue. And the fact that they possess different Pokémon than in the games doesn't reflect anything. It's about the characters, not their Pokémon. Please leave non-protagonist characters alone, they're a separate issue. And do you realise that the thing about COTDs you mentioned are actually an argument IN FAVOUR of having an article on Jun. You're contradicting yourself. I could use your arguements against you if I wanted it, but I don't feel like doing it. You have weak and newbish reasons. I'm sick of debating with people like you. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 15:20, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
:::::: Like me? Damn if you are so sure you know anything about me, write my biography. And no I wasn't contradicting myself I was making a connection. It's only a contradiction when I'm adamant about Jun not having an article. In fact I have no problem with it, the problem I do have is that while Jun has it's own articles, certain characters don't. And hell if COTD was any indication of anything, it would mean we would have articles about Johanna, Professor Oak because hell they showed up in the anime, don't they deserve their own anime articles. Who cares that they have game information? And again it's all double standards. Oh but I suppose YOU don't have a problem with it.--[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] 15:32, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
:::::::: I forgot, when I said Jun could be like COTD, I meant that it "should" be on his game page, just like Professor Oak, and Johanna. But again double standards.--[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] 15:36, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Adding to the fire, but, seriously, the answer to the problem is in his name. If his game article is going to be called "Pearl (game)", then "Jun (anime)" should deserve his own page, BECAUSE he's not called Pearl. GLs, the five partners, all direct game references with no name changes don't deserve their own separate page.

HOWEVER. Jun's game name defaults as Pearl. He is not Pearl. He is Jun (and hopefully, in the future, Barry). He should get his own paged based on the fact that he isn't called his default game name, just like Ash isn't called Red and Gary isn't called Green/Blue. Riley will still be Riley, Winona was still Winona. Pearl isn't Jun, and it isn't fair to designate him under Pearl simply because nothing changed about him personally. They'll act the same, but Gary acted the same way as his game C/P all through Kanto, and if this was then, Gary still would have gotten his own page.

: I have no problem with Gary or Ash from the anime because it's obvious they are slightly different then their Game counterparts. When we have Jun who is exactly like his game counterpart only his name is different is the problem. Jun looks exactly like Pearl (game) and most likely has the same team (3 of his 6 are). Forget it....... I don't care anymore, have your weird Bulbapedia format, where a game rival is more important than a game/anime article character is related to an anime article character.--[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] 16:01, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

== Okay, here's why he's not under Pearl's page. ==

Because '''''he's not Pearl any more than Gary Oak is Blue'''''. Remember, Gary was as much a jerk as Blue. They even both said "smell ya later" I believe. Gary's team may not be based on Blue's in any games, but so what? What's to say Jun's last three Pokémon aren't something completely random?

He has the same clothes. Great. He has the same team. Great. Gary has the same clothes as Blue in both RGBY and FRLG and he's got a separate article.

The title of the episode is ''Rival Trainer Jun Appears!'' not ''Rival Trainer Pearl Appears!''. His name is Jun. Not Pearl. Just like how {{tt|Kenta|Jimmy}}, not {{ga|Gold}}, and {{jo|Marina}}, not {{tt|Crys|Kris}}, appeared in the ''[[Legend of Thunder]]'' special. Brendan and Lucas weren't given separate names nor even much of an appearance, but Jun appears in an episode titled after and focusing on him. Jimmy and Marina do the same in LOT, though they didn't exactly name the thing.

Essentially, though, here's what it is: Game protagonists and rivals who appear in the anime get a separate page for their anime iteration if their role is large enough. {{ga|Silver}} appeared in the opening for LOT, and nothing else (plus {{an|Silver}} is that old guy who everyone <s>knows</s> thinks is [[Ash Ketchum|the idiot]]'s dad anyway). {{ga|Brendan}} was in the opening segment of three movies, but did little more than send out one Pokémon and order it to use a move. Whoo, give the man a page. No really. He's not notable enough in the anime for his own page. {{ga|Lucas}} does even less; he battled only ONCE in a movie opening.

Plus, well, with the exception of May and Dawn, all of the game protagonists and antagonists have different names from their anime counterparts. {{tt|Satoshi|Ash}}, not Red. {{tt|Shigeru|Gary}}, not {{tt|Green|Blue}}. {{tt|Kenta|Jimmy}}, not Gold. Marina, not {{tt|Crys|Kris}}. {{tt|Jun|And he's gonna be protected from moving to an English name until next year or longer!}}, not Pearl.

In closing.

:Thanks, TTE! Anyway, would you mind unblocking the page. There are things I would change. There is no proof that he's from Twinleaf. I would also delete the template. There is no proof that he'll be a recurring rival. I know the page was created pretty early but I'm a bit sick of the fact that Bulbapedia Admins block EVERYTHING lately. The blocked pages are usually the ones I want to edit. It sometimes feels that the admins simply want to use their powers.

'''Yawn''' is a non-damaging {{type2|Normal}} move introduced in [[Generation III]].

== Effect ==
The turn Yawn is used the only effect will be the user yawning at the opponent. At the end of the next turn though, the target will fall asleep unless it gets affected by another status condition before or a status-protecting move is used ({{m|Safeguard}}, {{m|Uproar}}).

Yawn will fail immediately if the target is under any other major status condition, or when used against a Pokémon having {{a|Insomnia}} or {{a|Vital Spirit}}.

==In the anime==

===Pokémon===
'''{{p|Snorlax}}'''. The Pokémon spits many pink bubbles, each of which drifts into someone's face, bursts, and then makes the target drift into a slumber a few seconds later.
* Used by [[Marcel]]'s Snorlax in ''[[AG088|The Garden of Eatin!]]'' '''Debut'''.

'''{{p|Hippopotas}}'''. The Pokémon belches up a large bubble which drifts into someone's face, bursts, and then makes the target drift into slumber a few seconds later.

'''Shedinja''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヌケニン''' ''Nukenin'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Ghost}} Pokémon. It is considered a "special" evolution of {{p|Nincada}}, appearing only when it evolves into {{p|Ninjask}} and there is an extra space in the player's [[party]] and an extra [[Poké Ball]] in their bag.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Shedinja is a brownish Pokémon resembling an insect's exoskeleton. Shedinja has a white halo floating over its head and a black hole on its back. As a matter of fact, it is the shed remains of a {{p|Nincada}} after it evolves into a {{p|Ninjask}}. However, there is no logical explanation as to how Shedinja gained a "life" of its own.
====Gender differences====
This Pokémon is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
It is rumored that if a human peers into its back, their soul will be stolen. Shedinja is impervious to direct-damage from all attacks that its type combination isn't weak to. However, any direct-damage from attacks that Shedinja is weak to (or any form of indirect damage) will always knock it out.

Shedinja's movepool is the same as Ninjask's, but with the addition of several {{type2|Ghost}} moves.

===Behavior===
Shedinja appear to be wise and intelligent Pokémon. They are also very quiet and stealthy, like a Ninja. They are protective over Ninjask but otherwise very little is known about them.

===Habitat===
Shedinja probably live in forests, anywhere where there are Nincada and Ninjasks and many other bug Pokémon.
[[Image:Forest.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Forest Pokémon|Forest Pokémon]]]]

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Shedinja don't eat anything at all.

==In the anime==
Shedinja first appeared in ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]''. It was owned by [[Colonel Hansen]].

Since then, it has appeared in some episodes involving [[Pokémon Contest]]s as an extra.

Shedinja can also be damaged by {{m|Struggle}} and any of the [[Shadow moves]] from [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD]]. Also, the move {{m|Future Sight}} can still hit it.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2|its sequel]], the standard A-button tackle will do one HP damage and wild Shedinja always has a maximum of 5 HP. However, as a team member, Shedinja's HP is not capped.

===Learnset===
{{learnset intro|Shedinja}}
In addition to its normal movepool, Shedinja can also learn a single move from Ninjask's movepool or more than one, if Ninjask would learn multiple moves in a single level. This is because when Shedinja is "shed," it copies Ninjask's current moveset.

==Trivia==
* Shedinja is the only Pokémon whose HP [[IVs|IV]] cannot be determined, due to it always having the same amount of HP. To figure out a Shedinja's HP IV, one must find out the HP IV of the Ninjask that shed it.
* A [[Poké Ball]] is only needed to obtain a Shedinja in the [[Generation IV]] games. In other games, it creates its own Poké Ball in the same way that eggs do.
* Shedinja can be in any type of Poké Ball provided it is the first one listed in the player's bag upon its evolution.
* No other Pokémon shares the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Shedinja.
* Shedinja has the lowest base HP stat of all Pokémon.
**Shedinja's base HP stat is also the lowest base stat number of any legitimate Pokémon (although it is tied with {{p|Missingno.}}'s base Defense stat).
* Shedinja also has the lowest total base stat of all Pokémon that cannot evolve again.
* Shedinja is one of only three Pokémon that is not a [[baby Pokémon]] to have a different [[egg group]] than its evolutionary relatives (if Nincada and Ninjask are considered part of its evolutionary line), being in the {{egg|Mineral}} egg group while {{p|Nincada}} and {{p|Ninjask}} are in the {{egg|Bug}} group. It cannot breed normally with Mineral group Pokémon either way, however, as it has no gender. The other two Pokémon that share this trait are {{p|Nidorina}} and {{p|Nidoqueen}}.
*Despite having the lowest HP of all Pokémon, a defeated Shedinja will give 2 HP [[EV]]s.
*Shedinja is one of three Ghost-types whose [[List of Pokémon by color|color]] isn't in the black or purple category. The others are {{p|Froslass}} (white) and {{p|Rotom}} (red).
* Shedinja is one of the only two {{type2|Ghost}}s that cannot learn {{m|Psychic}}, the other being {{p|Rotom}}.
* During [[Generation III]], Shedinja's entire body was a dull shade of gold. Shedinja's colors were changed to suit its official artwork in [[Generation IV]].

===Origin===
It is based on the shed husk that {{wp|cicada}}s leave behind when they finish their {{wp|metamorphosis}} into adults.
====Name origin====
Shedinja's name is a combination of ''shed'', casting off of skin or exoskeleton, and ''{{wp|ninja}}''. Its Japanese name is a combination of 抜け殻 ''nukegara'', casting off skin, and 忍者 ''ninja''. ''Nukenin'' is also a term describing ninja who have abandoned their clan and lord.

|sapphiredex=Shedinja is a peculiar Pokémon. It seems to appear unsought in a [[Poké Ball]] after a {{p|Nincada}} evolves. This bizarre Pokémon is entirely immobile - it doesn't even breathe.

Shedinja can also be damaged by {{m|Struggle}} and any of the [[Shadow moves]] from [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD]]. Also, the move {{m|Future Sight}} can still hit it.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2|its sequel]], the standard A-button tackle will do one HP damage and wild Shedinja always has a maximum of 5 HP. However, as a team member, Shedinja's HP is not capped.

===Learnset===
{{learnset intro|Shedinja}}
In addition to its normal movepool, Shedinja can also learn a single move from Ninjask's movepool or more than one, if Ninjask would learn multiple moves in a single level. This is because when Shedinja is "shed," it copies Ninjask's current moveset.

==Trivia==
* Shedinja is the only Pokémon whose HP [[IVs|IV]] cannot be determined, due to it always having the same amount of HP. To figure out a Shedinja's HP IV, one must find out the HP IV of the Ninjask that shed it.
* A [[Poké Ball]] is only needed to obtain a Shedinja in the [[Generation IV]] games. In other games, it creates its own Poké Ball in the same way that eggs do.
* Shedinja can be in any type of Poké Ball provided it is the first one listed in the player's bag upon its evolution.
* No other Pokémon shares the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Shedinja.
* Shedinja has the lowest base HP stat of all Pokémon.
**Shedinja's base HP stat is also the lowest base stat number of any legitimate Pokémon (although it is tied with {{p|Missingno.}}'s base Defense stat).
* Shedinja also has the lowest total base stat of all Pokémon that cannot evolve again..
* Shedinja is one of only three Pokémon that is not a [[baby Pokémon]] to have a different [[egg group]] than its evolutionary relatives (if Nincada and Ninjask are considered part of its evolutionary line), being in the {{egg|Mineral}} egg group while {{p|Nincada}} and {{p|Ninjask}} are in the {{egg|Bug}} group. It cannot breed normally with Mineral group Pokémon either way, however, as it has no gender. The other two Pokémon that share this trait are {{p|Nidorina}} and {{p|Nidoqueen}}.
*Despite having the lowest HP of all Pokémon, a defeated Shedinja will give 2 HP [[EV]]s.
*Shedinja is one of three Ghost-types whose [[List of Pokémon by color|color]] isn't in the black or purple category. The others are {{p|Froslass}} (white) and {{p|Rotom}} (red).
* Shedinja is one of the only two {{type2|Ghost}}s that cannot learn {{m|Psychic}}, the other being {{p|Rotom}}.
* During [[Generation III]], Shedinja's entire body was a dull shade of gold. Shedinja's colors were changed to suit its official artwork in [[Generation IV]].

===Origin===
It is based on the shed husk that {{wp|cicada}}s leave behind when they finish their {{wp|metamorphosis}} into adults.
====Name origin====
Shedinja's name is a combination of ''shed'', casting off of skin or exoskeleton, and ''{{wp|ninja}}''. Its Japanese name is a combination of 抜け殻 ''nukegara'', casting off skin, and 忍者 ''ninja''. ''Nukenin'' is also a term describing ninja who have abandoned their clan and lord.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Ninjatom - A combination of ''ninja'' and ''tomb''.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Munja
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 껍질몬 ''Kkeopjilmon''

Professor Oak's Pokémon Lecture

2008-11-08T03:14:29Z

RegalStar:

'''Professor Oak's lecture''', also named '''Professor Oak's Big Encyclopedia''' in the DP series, is a segment featured at the end of {{pkmn|anime}} episodes in Japan.

Generally, the lecture will start with [[Professor Oak]] using the reels of a [[wp:slot machine|slot machine]] to show the silhouette of a [[Pokémon]]. The display on his computer will switch to show the image of the Pokémon, surrounded by some general information. He will then show some clips of the Pokémon in the anime as he discusses it. After this, he will show a live example of the Pokémon in [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|his laboratory]]. Frequently, the Pokémon will attack or hurt him shortly after. The lecture closes with a [[Pokémon senryū]].

There are also some special lectures, such as those which will promote an upcoming [[Pokémon movie|movie]] or discuss one of the characters.

The segment has never been used in the dub, though footage from the lecture of {{p|Alakazam}} was used to introduce the VHS release of ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.

'''Focus Punch''' is a highly-damaging {{type2|Fighting}} move introduced in [[Generation III]].

==Effect==
The user of Focus Punch will charge up during the start of then turn, then attack on the end, unless it is hit by the opponent's move, in which case it will lose its focus and be unable to move.

If used in a double battle, the user will make its move the last of all four Pokémon. The Pokémon will be unable to make its move if hit before launching the attack.

In Mystery Dungeon series, Focus Punch instead has a charge-up turn (akin to Skull Bash, Sky Attack, et cetera), and can hit even when the user is hit during the turn of charge-up, unless the user is inflicted with Paralysis.

RegalStar:

==Welcome==
Welcome to [[Bulbapedia]], {{BASEPAGENAME}}!

As a new user, you may wish to learn a few things that will be useful in your editing:
*For a basic overview of wiki code, see [[Help:Editing|this page]].
*The {{bp|manual of style}} is very important. Make sure to read it. It outlines all official policies of Bulbapedia.
*The word [[Pokémon]] is spelled with a capital '''P''' and an accented '''é'''. The P, of course, is accessed easily by holding Shift and pressing the P key, while the é can be accessed using Alt + 130 or Alt + 0233 on a Windows computer, and Option + e, then e again on a Mac. Otherwise, you can click it in the character palette below the editbox.
*The word [[Poké Ball]] is spelled as two words. The "Poké" part is identical to the four beginning letters in "Pokémon"; "Ball" is spelled with a captial '''B''' (which is, again, accessed by holding Shift and pressing the B key). The spelling "Pokéball" arises frequently, but is incorrect.
*The word "you" and all forms of it should not be used on encyclopedic pages unless it is a quote from Pokémon media. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, not a walkthrough.
*On {{bp|talk page}}s, please sign your comments with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).
*The use of {{cat|link templates}} is official policy. For an explanation on their use, see the page on {{bp|shortlinks}}.
*If you happen to spot a vandal in the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] that has not been dealt with, please see {{bp|dealing with vandalism|this page}} for how to deal with it.
*A list of pages that are linked to, but have not been created, can be found at [[Special:Wantedpages|this page]]. A list of short articles that may require more information can be found {{cat|stubs|here}}, while a list of articles that need improvement can be found {{cat|articles needing improvement|here}}.
*A list of the admins that you can contact in case of a problem, can be found [[Special:Listusers/sysop|here]].

Thank you, and have a good time editing here! '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 05:11, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

== Pokémon plural ==

Not only is it not "Pokémons", the plurals of the individual species are also not made by adding an s. The singular and plural are the same, much like sheep. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]][[Image:Ani155MS.gif|Fire echy]]''' 20:43, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

[[Diamond]] and [[Pearl]] are disambigs. Use the {{template|special}} or {{template|spe}} templates to link to Special characters. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 03:36, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
:I didn't touch them. It seems some tags gets changed automatically whenever the page gets changed - I've seen it before, too. [[User:RegalStar|RegalStar]] 23:55, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

'''Wobbuffet''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ソーナンス''' ''Sonans'') is a {{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Wynaut}} at [[level]] 15.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Wobbuffet is a tall, cyan-colored blob-like creature with a black tail that has two eye-spots on it. Wobbuffet has flipper-like arms and a crooked expression on its face as a opposed to the perpetual smile that {{p2|Wynaut|its un-evolved form}} has. It also walks on four legs at it's base.
====Gender differences====
Female Wobbuffet appear to be wearing lipstick.

====Special abilities====
Wobbuffet is only capable of {{M|counter}}ing enemy attacks.

===Behavior===
When two Wobbuffet meet, they usually try to test each others' endurance. Even though Wobbuffet are classified as "Patient" Pokémon, a [[Pokémon Trainer]] who has it often finds that his or her Wobbuffet tends to pop out of its [[Poké Ball]] by itself, shouting out in agreement of something someone said.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Cave.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Cave Pokémon|Cave Pokémon]]]]
Wobbuffet live in dark caves to keep their tail hidden.

===Diet===
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

==In the anime==
[[Image:Musashitosonans.jpg|right|thumb|Jessie and Wobbuffet]]
[[Jessie]] has a {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} that frequently emerges from its [[Poké Ball]] to shout its name or cause what Jessie considers to be trouble. It has appeared in almost every episode since she accidentally traded her {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}} for it in ''[[EP146|Tricks of the Trade]]''. However, she rarely uses Wobbuffet in battle.

''[[EP173|Wobbu-palooza]]'' featured a town in which everyone owned a Wobbuffet.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Special===
Wobbuffet first appeared in {{PSV|11}} under the ownership of {{Special|Crystal}}'s mother.

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

==Other appearances==
[[Image:Wobbuffet Brawl.jpg|thumb|right|Wobbuffet in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
When released from a [[Poké Ball]], Wobbuffet will stand on the stage in one place. Anyone attacking or running into it will be damaged by its {{m|Counter}}, apart from the player who threw the Poké Ball, who will only be knocked back.

Wobbuffet is also a [[Poké Floats|Poké Float]] in Melee. It appears on its side and never fully reveals itself. When it first appears, it will quickly return off-screen but will then come back and remain to allow for fighting to take place on top of it.

====Melee trophy information====
A Patient Pokémon, Wobbuffet lives in darkness to hide its mismatched black tail. Even for a stoic Pokémon, this creature is a testament to self-control; it will not actively attack an opponent. Its {{M|Counter}} and {{M|Mirror Coat}} moves are solely used for reflecting attacks directly back at its antagonist.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: Wobbuffet and {{p|Wynaut}} send the player on a mission into the [[Uproar Forest]]. As thanks for completing it, they help to remodel the rescue base. Notably, the Wobbuffet is the only Pokémon in the entire game that doesn't speak human language.

==Trivia==
*Its name, when paired with the Japanese name of its pre-evolution, {{p|Wynaut}}, ソーナノ ''Sohnano'', makes for a potential perpetual conversation of "that's the way it is" followed by "really?", and so on, as seen in [[Camp Pikachu]].
*Wobbuffet is the one of the three non-[[legendary Pokémon]] to be considered "uber" in the metagame due to its HP stat, attacks, and ability overcentralizing the game completely. All its trainer needs to do when using Wobbuffet is predict whether the opponent's next attack will be physical or special to deal double damage. They can also use {{M|Encore}} and instantly apply the previous move. In addition, because of its ability, a Mirror Match or a Wynaut Vs. Wobbuffet in a 1-on-1 battle can instantly lock the game for more than 70 turns or permanently if both Pokémon are equipped with [[Leftovers]]. This was fixed in the Generation IV games to prevent such an event; Pokémon with {{A|Shadow Tag}} can freely switch out of other Pokémon with Shadow Tag.
*Wobbuffet has the third highest base HP stat in the game, after {{p|Blissey}} and {{p|Chansey}}.
*Wobbuffet is one of fourteen Pokémon that one could collect [[Meister (Sinnoh)|foreign Pokédex entries]] for.
*It is unknown where the female Wobbuffet's "lipsticks" come from.
===Origin===
It is based on the late Japanese comedian 林家三平 ''{{wp|Sanpei Hayashiya}}'', who was famous for repeatedly touching his hand to his forehead while saying one of his trademark lines, そうなんす、奥さん ''sō na-n-su, okusan'', "That's the way it is, ma'am."

In addition, its form and available moves may be based on a {{wp|punching bag}}; that is, when it is hit, it bounces back. In addition, it may be based on a monster from Pac-Man.
====Name origin====
Wobbuffet's name is a combination of ''wobble'' and ''buffet'', meaning to strike repeatedly, possibly referring to its action of slapping its own forehead. Its Japanese name is homophonous with the interjection そうなんす ''sō na-n-su'', which roughly means "that's the way it is."

==In other languages==
* [[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Woingenau - Means "Where to, exactly?"
* [[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Qulbutoke - A play on ''Culbuto'' and the expression ''OK''.
* [[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 마자용 ''Majayong'' - A play on ''Majayo'', which means "That's correct/That's right".

Platinum (Adventures)

RegalStar: /* Trivia */ I don't see why this remains to be unknown.

'''Platina''' (Japanese: '''プラチナ''' ''Platina''), usually referred to as '''Ojōsama''' (Japanese: '''お嬢様''') (a term used to refer to the daughter of someone of high class) is the female main character for the [[Diamond & Pearl chapter (Special)|Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]] story arc of [[Pokémon Special]]. At first, she was only known by her family name, but her given name was recently revealed to match [[Pokémon Platinum]].

Platina is a member of the house of '''Berlitz''' (Japanese: '''ベルリッツ''' ''Berlitz''), a 200-year old family of wealthy scholars famous in [[Sinnoh]]. She wears diamond and pearl rings. She does not give her name to commoners.

The Berlitz family tradition is for members coming of age to travel to the peak of [[Mt. Coronet]] to obtain materials to make their personal family crest. At the suggestion of the Berlitz butler, Sebastian, her father hired two bodyguards to protect her in her journey. [[Professor Rowan]] provided her with three [[Pokédex]]es, three [[Pokétch]]es, and the three Sinnoh [[starter Pokémon]] so that Platina would share them with her bodyguards to assist him in his research.

However, because {{Special|Diamond}} and {{Special|Pearl}} coincidentally match the bodyguards' description--one in a red scarf and the other in a green scarf--Berlitz presumes they are her bodyguards instead, and the duo think that this journey is a sort of [[wp:Reality television|reality TV show]]. Berlitz assumed that they were actually her bodyguards, chosen so the trio would not seem odd.

Platina is amazed by the closeness of Pearl and Diamond, as well as their various skills: Pearl's assortment of [[Battle|battling]] advice and Diamond's ability to cook [[Poffin]]s and instincts on Pokémon. She also is an audience for their various Manzai attempts and is amused by them at times. Platina often can be demanding of Pearl, annoying him. Platina is also unaware of a {{s|CommonerShipping|crush}} Diamond has on her.

Platina is very knowledgeable as a result of reading lots of books during her childhood. However, since beginning her journey she has decided that it is better to actually experience as much as possible. For this reason, Platina challenges the [[Gym]]s of Sinnoh and also takes on other challenges such as the [[Super Contest]]s of [[Hearthome City]]. Ironically, Berlitz can actually be very unobservant at times, and didn't know that Pearl and Dia weren't her bodyguards. She has shown a natural tendency to recognize patterns and has an almost encyclopedic knoweldge of various areas of Sinnoh and Pokémon in general, although towards the beginning of her journey, she had difficulty dealing with wild Pokémon.

It seems, that after saving her from [[Team Galactic]], Platina gains respect for [[Diamond]] and [[Pearl]], by calling them by their frist names, but, she still refuses to give her name, making the boys assume that Berlitz's name is 'The Lady', after hearing the name by Pearl's Chatot, by the little bird hear a convsation with Platina and her butler.

* Platina has borrowed all of {{Special|Diamond}} and {{Special|Pearl}}'s Pokémon so far to battle various Gym Leaders: Monferno and Chatot for [[Maylene]], Torterra for [[Crasher Wake]] and Munchlax for [[Fantina]].

==Trivia==
*In the beginning of the Diamond & Pearl chapter of Pokémon Special, there were some moments where Platina's first name was actually said, but her first name was always covered by another's speech bubble (to show that it's drowned out by that person's speech). For example, when facing the gym leader [[Maylene]], she is announced as the challenger, but yells when her name is said, so that her first name is unheard. The writers were most likely waiting for the release of {{game|Platinum}} to name her for it.

Ash's Bayleef

'''Ash's Bayleef''' (Japanese: '''サトシのベイリーフ''' ''Satoshi's Bayleaf'') was the second [[Pokémon]] that [[Ash Ketchum]] [[Captured Pokémon|caught]] in the [[Johto]] region. Her voice actress in both Japanese and English is ''[[Mika Kanai]]''.

==History==
[[Image:ChikoritaRescue.jpg|thumb|left|As a Chikorita]]
Bayleef was introduced in ''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue]]'' as a {{p|Chikorita}}. Chikorita was especially stubborn, going so far as to fight against [[Ash's Charizard]] despite obvious overwhelming odds; she was injured in the process. [[Team Rocket]] tried to convince the stubborn Pokémon to join them, but Ash eventually won her confidence.

Chikorita developed what seemed to be a crush on Ash, constantly fighting for his attention and trying to get his approval.

In ''[[EP199|Current Events]]'', Chikorita evolved into Bayleef to protect Ash from Team Rocket. However, it took a while for the amorous Pokémon to realize that she had grown so much - she continued to act as though she was still small enough to leap into Ash's arms for quite some time.

Bayleef's personality is stubborn, sometimes violent, and passionate. She easily gets jealous of the attention Ash's other Pokémon receive - especially [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]]. Some of her more extreme personality traits seemed to have mellowed with evolution, however.

==Moves used==
* ''{{m|Razor Leaf}}''
* ''{{m|Vine Whip}}''
* ''{{m|Body Slam}}''
* {{m|Sweet Scent}}
* {{m|Tackle}}
* ''{{m|Headbutt}}''

Italicized moves have been used recently

==Trivia==
* Bayleef is confirmed to be a female. In ''[[EP136|Chikorita's Big Upset]]'', the local [[Nurse Joy]] refers to it as a she.
* Chikorita was the only Pokémon that Ash owned that evolved during the Johto saga. Despite this, he also had another evolved Pokémon: [[Ash's Noctowl|Noctowl]].
* Chikorita took as many episodes to evolve as another Pokémon that had a crush on Ash: {{TP|Dawn|Aipom}}. They were both {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} before their evolution as well, and their Japanese names are both very similar to their English names. Both Pokémon also use their Japanese voices in the dub.
*Bayleef is the only one of {{Ash}}'s evolved [[starter Pokémon]] not to reach its final evolution.
