'''Electric rodents''' is a [[Appendix:Fan terminology|fan term]] referring to a group of {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} based on {{wp|rodent}}s.

This group is also referred to by fans as the '''{{p|Pikachu}} family''', '''Pikachu clones''', or '''Pikaclones''', though these terms are sometimes used to include other Pokémon such as {{p|Marill}} or {{p|Mimikyu}}, which are not {{t|Electric}} [[type]]s, but otherwise resemble Pikachu in design. An equivalent term used within the Japanese [[Pokémon]] fandom is '''{{ruby|電気袋組|でんきぶくろぐみ}}''' ''Electric Pouch Group'', referencing the electric pouches on these Pokémon's cheeks.

The terms "electric mice" and "electric mouse Pokémon" are used informally to describe this group in a post on the official [https://www.facebook.com/Pokemon.official.Singapore/posts/2502021336791447 Pokémon Singapore Facebook page], promoting the "[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/goods/2019/12/191213_p02.html HOPPE DAISHŪGO]" collection of {{OBP|Pokémon Center|store}} merchandise. HOPPE DAISHŪGO can be translated as ''Great Gathering of Cheeks'', referencing the common trait these Pokémon have.

Pokémon art director and character designer [[Ken Sugimori]] acknowledged the concept of the recurring "electric rodents" theme in an interview published in Volume 201 of the ''Nintendo Dream'' magazine.<ref name=NDream>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 201, January 2011 ([http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-3/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref> [[Atsuko Nishida]] was responsible for designing six of the electric rodents, namely {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Raichu}},<ref name=Pokemon.com>[https://web.archive.org/web/20211108083831/https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/creator-profile-the-creators-of-pikachu/ Creator Profile: The Creators of Pikachu - Pokemon.com] (archived)</ref><ref name=GameFreak>[https://web.archive.org/web/19980121112202fw_/http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/POKEMON/INTER/ATSUKO/INTER_AT.HTM Interview with Atsuko Nishida on Game Freak's website]</ref> {{rf|Alolan}} Raichu,<ref>"What It Takes to Create a Pokémon."

==List of electric rodents==
There are 13 Pokémon considered to be electric rodents, with every [[generation]] introducing at least one.

Design-wise, all of these Pokémon are designed to resemble {{p|Pikachu}},<ref name=NDream/> with big round heads, black or brown button-like eyes (except for {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Raichu}}, whose eyes are blue), and electric pouches on their cheeks. All are in the {{egg|Fairy}} and/or {{egg|Field}} [[Egg Group]]s, except for {{p|Pichu}} and certain special forms of Pikachu, which are in the {{egg|No Eggs Discovered}} Egg Group. Additionally, all of these Pokémon have English names very close to being pure transliterations of their Japanese names. Prior to [[Generation VIII]], this group included the only Pokémon capable of learning {{m|Nuzzle}}, with {{p|Morpeko}} being the only member who cannot learn it. Most of the electric rodents have an [[Ability]] that gives them an immunity to {{type|Electric}} moves, such as {{a|Motor Drive}}, {{a|Lightning Rod}}, or {{a|Volt Absorb}}, with {{p|Dedenne}}, Alolan Raichu, Morpeko, and {{p|Pawmi}} being the exceptions (though Pawmi's evolved forms, {{p|Pawmo}} and {{p|Pawmot}}, gain Volt Absorb as a possible Ability). Every electric rodent has a [[List of Pokémon by gender ratio|gender ratio]] of one male to one female, save for special forms of Pikachu and Pichu that are exclusively a single gender. Every electric rodent in {{g|Sleep}} also belongs to the Snoozing [[sleep type]], except for Pichu, whose sleep type is Slumbering.

{{p|Pachirisu}} is the only member of this group revealed to actually be biologically related to Pikachu's evolutionary line.<ref>[[Pokédex]] entry: ''A species related to the Pikachu line. [...]'' ({{g|Legends: Arceus}})</ref> {{p|Pawmi}} is the only one (aside from {{p|Pikachu}} itself) to have an evolutionary line, having three stages, mirroring Pikachu's—although Pikachu's evolutionary line includes a [[baby Pokémon]], while Pawmi's lacks one.

The Pawmi line, being introduced in [[Generation IX]], have yet to be directly grouped with the electric rodents officially, though they share the same design theme and other overall similarities. Alolan Raichu and other forms of the Pikachu line are also not typically depicted with this group.

Listed below are the 13 species included in this group, as well as Alolan Raichu, Mega Raichu X, and Mega Raichu Y.

==Similar Pokémon==
{{p|Marill}} and {{p|Mimikyu}} are often viewed as "Pikachu clones" by fans, although neither of them are {{t|Electric}} types.

Marill has similar design traits to {{p|Pikachu}}, being a cute, round Pokémon with black button-like eyes. Marill and Pikachu are also both in the [[Fairy (Egg Group)|Fairy]] [[Egg Group]], and were both initially the first stage in a two-stage evolutionary line before gaining a pre-Evolution in the next generation which is a [[baby Pokémon]] that evolves via [[friendship Evolution]]. Prior to the release of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, Marill was often referred to as "Pikablu" by fans, and it was erroneously referred to as such on the [[Pokémon the First Movie Trading Cards|Topps trading cards for the first movie]]. However, Marill has never officially been acknowledged as related to the electric rodents.

{{p|Mimikyu}}'s design is directly inspired by Pikachu, and it is sometimes featured in official artwork showcasing these Pokémon. The Japanese web page for the "HOPPE DAISHŪGO" merchandise states: "よく見ると、でんきタイプではないポケモンが1匹、こっそり仲間入りしているね" (''"If you look closely, you'll see that one Pokemon that is not an Electric type has secretly joined the group."'') This references Mimikyu's behavior of pretending to be a Pikachu.

==In the games==
[[File:XY Battle BG Stickers.png|thumb|x150px|The "Stickers" battle menu background]]
{{p|Pachirisu}}'s [[Pokédex]] entry in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|Pokémon HeartGold, SoulSilver}}, and [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Scarlet]] states "It's one of the kinds of Pokémon with electric cheek pouches", which likely refers to this group.

In {{g|X and Y}}, the [[Options/Battle BGs|"Stickers" battle menu background]] features all the members of the group that existed at the time.
{{right clear}}

==In animation==
These Pokémon are owned by several characters in the {{pkmn|animated series}}. {{p|Pichu}} is the only member of this group that isn't owned or cared for by any of the major characters of the animated series, though it is confirmed in the first episode of {{aniseries|JN}}, ''[[JN001|Enter Pikachu!]]'', that [[Ash's Pikachu]] used to be a Pichu before they met.

===''Pokémon the Series''===
In ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} own a number of these Pokémon: Ash owns a {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{an|Dawn}} owns a {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}, {{an|Iris}} owns an {{p|Emolga}}, {{an|Bonnie}} cares for her brother {{an|Clemont}}'s {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}}, {{an|Sophocles}} owns a {{TP|Sophocles|Togedemaru}}, and [[Goh]] owns a female {{TP|Goh|Raichu}} that evolved from a Pikachu. Additionally, [[James]] of {{TRT}} owns a {{TP|James|Morpeko}}, and while it is not considered part of this group, [[Jessie]] owns a {{TP|Jessie|Mimikyu}}. Ash's friend {{Tracey}} owns a {{TP|Tracey|Marill}}, though Marill has never been officially connected to this group.

Additionally, Ash's [[rival]] in [[Alola]], [[Hau]], and in [[Galar]], [[Marnie]], own {{rf|Alolan}} Raichu and Morpeko, respectively. Dawn's rival [[Ursula]] owns both {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}}.

==Trivia==
*{{p|Emolga}} was the first electric rodent to be dual-[[type]]. After its introduction in [[Generation V]], all subsequent [[generation]]s have introduced dual-type electric rodents.
**Every unevolved dual-type electric rodent has a type immunity. Of these, {{p|Morpeko}} is the only one with an immunity to another electric rodent's type, being unaffected by {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Raichu}}'s {{t|Psychic}} type.
**Alolan Raichu is the first dual-type electric rodent without any immunities. However, as the Psychic type was originally immune to {{type|Ghost}} [[move]]s in [[Generation I]], this means that {{p|Pawmo}} and {{p|Pawmot}} are the only electric rodents whose secondary type have never had any immunities at any point in time.
**{{p|Pawmi}} is the first single-type electric rodent since {{p|Pachirisu}}, being introduced five generations later.
**Pawmo and Pawmot are the only electric rodents to share a type combination ({{t|Electric}}/{{type|Fighting}}), and subsequently, to have a type disadvantage against multiple electric rodents instead of one, those being {{p|Emolga}}, {{p|Dedenne}}, and Alolan Raichu. Due to being part Fighting-type, they are also the only electric rodents without a resistance to {{type|Flying}} moves.
*Pikachu is the only electric rodent to be a [[first partner Pokémon]] and to have a [[Gigantamax]] form, as well as to have an item unique to it (the [[Light Ball]]) and to have [[List of Pokémon with branched Evolutions|a branched Evolution]].
*Raichu is the only electric rodent to have a [[regional form]] and to be capable of undergoing [[Mega Evolution]].
*Pichu is the only electric rodent to be a [[baby Pokémon]].
*Emolga is the only electric rodent without a weakness to {{type|Ground}} moves or a resistance to Electric-type attacks, due to being part Flying-type.
*Alolan Raichu and Pikachu are the only electric rodents with unique [[Z-Move]]s ({{m|Catastropika}} for Pikachu, {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}} for [[Pikachu in a cap]], and {{m|Stoked Sparksurfer}} for Alolan Raichu).
*{{p|Togedemaru}} is the only electric rodent with a double weakness (to Ground-type moves) and double resistances (to Flying and {{type|Steel}} attacks).
*Morpeko is the first electric rodent since Pikachu's [[evolution]]ary line to have a [[signature move]] ({{m|Aura Wheel}}). It would be followed by Pawmot's {{m|Double Shock}} in [[Generation IX]].
*Pawmi and Pawmo are the first electric rodents introduced since Pikachu to be capable of evolving.
*{{p|Cramorant}} is exclusive to [[The Teal Mask]] expansion in {{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet|Scarlet}}, while {{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet|Violet}} instead features Morpeko. This choice may be due to Cramorant's unique form that involves holding a Pikachu in its mouth, linking both Pokémon to Pikachu in different ways.

==Trivia==
*{{p|Emolga}} was the first electric rodent to be dual-[[type]]. After its introduction in [[Generation V]], all subsequent [[generation]]s have introduced dual-type electric rodents.
**Every unevolved dual-type electric rodent has a type immunity. Of these, {{p|Morpeko}} is the only one with an immunity to another electric rodent's type, being unaffected by {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Raichu}}'s {{t|Psychic}} type.
**Alolan Raichu is the first dual-type electric rodent without any immunities. However, as the Psychic type was originally immune to {{type|Ghost}} [[move]]s in [[Generation I]], this means that {{p|Pawmo}} and {{p|Pawmot}} are the only electric rodents whose secondary type have never had any immunities at any point in time.
**{{p|Pawmi}} is the first single-type electric rodent since {{p|Pachirisu}}, being introduced five generations later.
**Pawmo and Pawmot are the only electric rodents to share a type combination ({{t|Electric}}/{{type|Fighting}}), and subsequently, to have a type disadvantage against multiple electric rodents instead of one, those being {{p|Emolga}}, {{p|Dedenne}}, and Alolan Raichu. Due to being part Fighting-type, they are also the only electric rodents without a resistance to {{type|Flying}} moves.
*Pikachu is the only electric rodent to be a [[first partner Pokémon]] and to have a [[Gigantamax]] form, as well as to have an item unique to it (the [[Light Ball]]) and to have [[List of Pokémon with branched Evolutions|a branched Evolution]].
*Raichu is the only electric rodent to have a [[regional form]] and to be capable of undergoing [[Mega Evolution]].
*Pichu is the only electric rodent to be a [[baby Pokémon]].
*Emolga is the only electric rodent without a weakness to {{type|Ground}} moves or a resistance to Electric-type attacks, due to being part Flying-type.
*Alolan Raichu and Pikachu are the only electric rodents with unique [[Z-Move]]s ({{m|Catastropika}} for Pikachu, {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}} for [[Pikachu in a cap]], and {{m|Stoked Sparksurfer}} for Alolan Raichu).
*{{p|Togedemaru}} is the only electric rodent with a double weakness (to Ground-type moves) and double resistances (to Flying and {{type|Steel}} attacks).
*Morpeko is the first electric rodent since Pikachu's [[evolution]]ary line to have a [[signature move]] ({{m|Aura Wheel}}). It would be followed by Pawmot's {{m|Double Shock}} in [[Generation IX]].
*Pawmi and Pawmo are the first electric rodents introduced since Pikachu to be capable of evolving.
*{{p|Cramorant}} is exclusive to [[The Teal Mask]] expansion in {{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet|Scarlet}}, while {{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet|Violet}} instead features Morpeko. This choice may be due to Cramorant's unique form that involves holding a Pikachu in its mouth, linking both Pokémon to Pikachu in different ways.

'''Lt. Surge's Raichu''' (Japanese: '''マチスのライチュウ''' ''Matisse's Raichu'') is [[Lt. Surge]]'s main Pokémon in {{pkmn|animation}} and in the {{pkmn|games}}.

==In animation==
===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|OS}}====
[[File:EP014.png|thumb|left|220px|Raichu's battle against Ash's Pikachu]]
Raichu appeared in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'', where he was responsible for brutally defeating many opponents, as the [[Pokémon Center]] started to get crowded. This happened before {{Ash}} entered the [[Vermilion Gym]]. Later during Ash's arrival, Lt. Surge sent him out to Ash and {{ashfr}}. Lt. Surge laughed at Ash for not making {{AP|Pikachu}} [[Evolution|evolve]], thinking that evolved Pokémon are always better. This infuriated Ash and made Pikachu, also infuriated, want to battle Raichu.

In the {{pkmn|battle}}, both sides started off with Thunder Shock, but Raichu's turned out to be more powerful, which weakened Pikachu drastically. Raichu then easily hit Pikachu with a combination of {{m|Mega Punch}} and {{m|Mega Kick}} before defeating him with a Thunderbolt.
[[File:Lt Surge JN.png|thumb|250px|Raichu and Lt. Surge]]
Ash returned to the Gym for a [[rematch]] after Pikachu was healed. He ignored Lt. Surge's advice on evolving Pikachu into a Raichu. In the rematch, Raichu was able to hit Pikachu with Body Slam but Pikachu was able to use two new attacks, {{m|Agility}} and {{m|Quick Attack}}, which were both learned before the rematch. As Raichu evolved too fast, he never learned any speedy attacks. Pikachu took advantage of this by using his speedy attacks to confuse Raichu. Lt. Surge decided to cancel them by having Raichu use Thunderbolt on the field. However, Pikachu dodged it by using his tail. When Raichu was about to use Thunderbolt again, he ran out of electricity, which gave Pikachu the upper hand. Pikachu finished Raichu off with his tail attack before Raichu made full contact with Take Down. As Ash eventually defeated Lt. Surge in a rematch, it proved to him that evolved Pokémon were not always better.

Raichu reappeared in a flashback in the Japanese version of ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]'', when Ash was recalling the fun times he had with Pikachu; and in another flashback in ''[[EP073|Bad To The Bone]]'', where Raichu was defeated in a Gym battle by [[Otoshi]]'s {{p|Marowak}}.

===={{aniseries|DP}}====
Both Raichu and Lt. Surge reappeared in a flashback in ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]''.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
In ''[[JN018|Destination: Coronation!]]'', it was revealed that Lt. Surge and Raichu left the Gym in the care of [[Visquez]] to go on a journey to become stronger.

====Personality and characteristics====
Raichu's attitude towards Ash's Pikachu almost completely mirrors Lt. Surge's attitude toward Ash. When they first met, he didn't have a high opinion of Pikachu. However, after being defeated, Raichu grew to respect him. He was shown to be a powerful {{pkmn|battle}}r that often used his strength to the point of cruelty, sending {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} after Pokémon to the [[Pokémon Center]]. Due to [[Evolution|evolving]] too fast, he never learned any speedy moves, which could put him at a disadvantage against a fast opponent.

===Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Lt Surge PO.png|thumb|250px|Raichu in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
In ''[[PO02|File 2: Cubone]]'', Raichu was used by Lt. Surge in his Gym battle against {{OBP|Red|Origins}}. However, it was defeated off-screen.

===GOTCHA!===
Lt. Surge's Raichu briefly appeared in [[GOTCHA!]].
{{-}}

==In the games==
Raichu appears as Lt. Surge's Pokémon in all games he appears in. In {{game|Yellow}}, it is his only Pokémon, much as in {{aniseries|PTS}}. In other games it is not his only Pokémon, but it is always present. Lt. Surge's Pikachu that he has in the games is also shown below, since Surge said in ''Pokémon the Series'' that he obtained his Raichu as a Pikachu.

Lt. Surge's Raichu debuted in ''[[PS029|Go for the Golbat]]'' during Surge's {{pkmn|battle}} with {{Adv|Red}}.

===={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}====
In ''[[PS139|Raising Raichu]]'', Raichu was used to battle the [[Masked Man]]. [[PS140|Later]], when Surge encountered the {{status|freeze|frozen}} [[Red Gyarados]] at the [[Lake of Rage]], he used Raichu to power up his submarine's underwater laser. However, as the thawed {{TP|Silver|Gyarados}} wasn't willing to fight him, but instead trying to break another block of ice at the bottom of the lake, Surge ended up using the laser on the ice block, which turned out to contain some of the gears of {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Silver}}, who had previously fought the Masked Man at the lake.

Raichu was also briefly seen in ''[[PS141|Hello, Lickitung]]'', where Surge used his sharp tail as a warning for [[Morty]] to not to struggle against him, as well as in ''[[PS154|Yikes, It's Yanma!]]'', where he was seen standing alongside Surge during the introduction of the [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] [[Gym Leader]]s.

===Merchandise===
====Kuchiba City Gym Deck====
The second wave of decks leading up to the release of {{TCG|Leaders' Stadium}} were released on July 25, 1998. The first deck focuses on Gym Leader [[Lt. Surge]] and his predominantly {{ct|Lightning}} Pokémon, and is named '''{{TCG|Kuchiba City Gym}}''' (Japanese: '''クチバシティジムマチス'''). The deck includes 60 main cards, four expansion cards, a coin, a rulebook, and Pokémon Gym Guide.

==Trivia==
* All of Lt. Surge's Pikachu and Raichu from {{g|Stadium}} and {{g|Stadium 2}} have the exclusive [[move]] {{m|Surf}}.
** Raichu has [[Game move errors|an illegal move combination]] in Pokémon Stadium 2: Surf can only be obtained as a special move as a Pikachu from Pokémon Stadium, while {{m|Reversal}} can only be obtained by {{pkmn|breeding}}.
* Raichu knowing {{m|Mega Punch}} and {{m|Mega Kick}} in {{game|Yellow}} is a direct reference to the moveset it uses in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]''.

Gardevoir is Diantha's first known Pokémon and is able to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Gardevoir. In ''[[XY028|The Bonds of Evolution!]]'', it was first seen fighting {{OBP|Magnus|XY028}}'s {{p|Absol}} in [[Brackish Town]], where it used its speed to completely avoid taking any damage before defeating it, doing so without needing to Mega Evolve. Later, Gardevoir battled {{AP|Pikachu}}, and was able to completely outmatch its opponent again in terms of speed and power. Before it could win, Gardevoir was captured by {{TRT}}, who attempted to flee with it. However, Diantha followed and Mega Evolved Gardevoir, who easily escaped its captors and sent them blasting off.

In ''[[XY042|Battling Into the Hall of Fame!]]'', an old photo in the [[Pokémon Summer Camp]] Hall of Fame revealed it to have evolved from a {{p|Ralts}} and to have been with Diantha since she was young.

In ''[[XY118|Championing a Research Battle!]]'', Gardevoir battled [[Ash's Greninja]]. Although Gardevoir initially held the upper hand, it eventually had to Mega Evolve to keep up with Greninja's [[Bond Phenomenon|unique transformation]]. When Greninja perfected its new form, it overpowered Gardevoir, but passed out from the resulting strain. Gardevoir was then targeted by Team Rocket again, but it easily sent them blasting off. It then dropped to its knees in exhaustion; Diantha thanked it for a job well done and recalled it.

In ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'', Gardevoir was seen trying to protect [[Lumiose City]] citizens from [[Team Flare]]'s attack alongside Diantha. In ''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]'', ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'', and ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', it continued to protect the Kalos region from Team Flare and assisted in the battle to destroy the [[Giant Rock]] while Diantha led the charge against it.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
[[File:Gardevoirite anime.png|thumb|250px|Gardevoir's Gardevoirite]]
Gardevoir appeared alongside Diantha on a television screen in ''[[JN103|The Future is Now, Thanks to Strategy!]]''.

In ''[[JN116|Pride of a Champion!]]'', Diantha used Gardevoir as her last Pokémon in her [[Masters Eight Tournament]] match against {{an|Lance}}. After Mega Evolving, Gardevoir was able to defeat {{p|Hydreigon}} and {{TP|Lance|Dragonite}}, despite the latter [[Dynamax]]ing, making Diantha the winner of the battle.

In ''[[JN122|It's... Champion Time!]]'', Diantha used Gardevoir as her last Pokémon in her Masters Eight Tournament match against {{an|Leon}}, while Leon still had five Pokémon left. It defeated his {{p|Rillaboom}} with Psychic. With {{TP|Leon|Charizard}} coming out next, Gardevoir Mega Evolved. Charizard [[Gigantamax]]ed and used {{m|G-Max Wildfire}}, with Gardevoir deflecting it back with Psychic. Charizard countered with {{m|Max Airstream}} before unleashing a second G-Max Wildfire, which broke through Gardevoir's combination attack. The damage was too much for Gardevoir to handle, and as a result, Diantha was eliminated from the tournament.

===Personality and characteristics===
Being calm just like its Trainer, Gardevoir proved powerful in its debut appearance, being able to dodge attacks from opponents with and without verbal commands, also proving a powerful bond with its Trainer.

[[File:Diantha Mega Gardevoir Adventures.png|thumb|170px|As a Mega Gardevoir]]
Gardevoir is [[Diantha]]'s only known Pokémon. It is able to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Gardevoir. It debuted in ''[[PS559|Chespin Sows the Seeds of Change]]'', where it was seen in the [[Lysandre Café]] with its {{pkmn|Trainer}}. Diantha had it Mega Evolve to make [[Lysandre]] back off from threatening {{adv|Trevor}}, {{adv|Shauna}}, and {{adv|Tierno}}.

In ''[[PS568|Connecting with Gardevoir]]'', Diantha used Gardevoir to battle {{tc|Team Flare Admin}} [[Chalmers]]'s multiple {{p|Skrelp}}. Using its Psychic powers, Gardevoir rescued [[Gurkinn]] and his {{p|Heracross}} from drowning in a lake. Afterward, it Mega Evolved to fight against Chalmers's {{p|Dragalge}}, which it easily defeated with a {{a|Pixilate}}-powered {{m|Hyper Beam}}. Gardevoir later helped save a wild {{p|Diancie}} from a thief alongside Gurkinn's Heracross and [[Korrina]]'s {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}}.

In ''[[PS575|Changing Gengar]]'', Gardevoir was used to battle against [[Malva]] and her {{TP|Malva|Braixen}}. Braixen started the battle with {{m|Magic Room}}, surrounding them both in a giant sphere of fire that isolated them from the outside. Malva noted that her plan was to use Magic Room to try and prevent Gardevoir from using Mega Evolution, only to find that the move has no effect on [[Mega Stone]]s. Despite this, Malva continued to order Braixen to furiously attack and trap Diantha. As they battled, the Magic Room began to sink into the ground. {{adv|Y}} and Shauna attempted to stop it but were unable to break open the Magic Room barrier before it fully disappeared.

In ''[[PS590|Yveltal Steals]]'', Gardevoir battled against Malva's {{p|Talonflame}}. Due to Malva stealing her Mega Charm, Diantha was unable to Mega Evolve Gardevoir during the battle. The battle was later interrupted when Malva ran off to try and save [[Lysandre]] from falling to his defeat at the hands of {{adv|X}}.

'''Brock's Sudowoodo''' (Japanese: '''タケシのウソッキー''' ''Takeshi's Usokkie'') was the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{an|Brock}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Kanto]] [[region]] during [[S09|the Battle Frontier saga]], and his eighth overall.

==In animation==
===History===
===={{aniseries|AG}}====
[[File:Brock with Sudowoodo.png|thumb|250px|left|Sudowoodo and Brock]]
Bonsly first appeared in ''[[AG156|From Cradle to Save]]'', where he was found by Brock and his friends near the [[Pokémon Ninja School]]. Starving, Bonsly began to cry uncontrollably, with Brock failing to feed him an [[Oran Berry]]. He switched to a bottle, which Bonsly finished readily. Realizing the young {{pkmn|category|Bonsai Pokémon}} was all alone, Brock suggested that Bonsly should join him. Bonsly, however, wanted to prove himself in a battle first. He faced off against [[Brock's Forretress]], whose Rapid Spin temporarily knocked Bonsly out, but this was not enough to catch him. However, once Bonsly got up, he was pricked by the Spikes that Forretress had fired while Bonsly was disoriented, knocking him down again and this time allowing Brock to catch him.

In ''[[AG159|Off the Unbeaten Path]]'', Brock and Bonsly competed in the [[Pokémon Orienteering]] Contest, with the goal being to find five checkpoints spread across the island. After obtaining the first checkpoint, the two get caught in a trap by {{TRT}}. They eventually escaped and showed up just in time to save {{an|May}} and [[Max]] from falling off a cliff. They are then approached by {{AP|Swellow}}, who informed them Team Rocket was up to no good. Due to this, the group ended up abandoning the race.

In ''[[AG165|King and Queen for a Day!]]'', Bonsly, along with [[Ash's Pikachu]], {{MTR}}, and [[James's Mime Jr.]], were blasted off after an encounter with {{TRT}}. After landing somewhere in the nearby town, the group was chased by three men in black suits. Escaping them a few times, they stumbled upon a casting crew, where it was revealed that a Bonsly and Mime Jr. had gone missing from the set. With no other choice, the {{OBP|Director|AG165}} decided to cast the two. Team Rocket, however, interrupted the filming, causing a fight to break out. Bonsly and Mime Jr. attacked each other and the battle was captured by the camera. The strange turn of events ended up satisfying the Director, who wrapped up the filming.

In ''[[AG167|What I Did for Love!]]'', Brock entered Bonsly in the [[Gardenia Town]] [[Pokémon Contest]] in an attempt to win the affections of a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} named [[Yuma]]. Bonsly was used in the [[Appeal|Appeals Round]], where he started off by using Fake Tears, followed by juggling baseballs that Brock threw to him using Flail. The performance impressed the [[Contest Judge|panel of judges]] enough for them to grant Brock a place among the {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s advancing to the [[Contest Battle]]s.

===={{aniseries|DP}}====
When Brock joined up with Ash in [[Sinnoh]], Bonsly was the only Pokémon he brought with him. Bonsly showed signs of maturation early into this journey, learning the [[move]] Mimic in ''[[DP013|A Staravia Is Born!]]'' and eating solid food in ''[[DP014|Leave it to Brocko!]]''. During the latter episode, after being captured by {{TRT}}, Bonsly [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Sudowoodo}} to help free Brock and a {{p|Nuzleaf}}, defeating [[James's Carnivine]] in a {{pkmn|battle}}. He was also shown to have gained a significant increase in his power and battling skills afterwards. Instead of being needy and heavily reliant on Brock's care, Sudowoodo was eager to help Brock in almost any task.
[[File:Brock Sudowoodo Rock Head.png|thumb|220px|Rock Head activated]]
In ''[[DP050|Tag! We're It...!]]'', Sudowoodo was used in the first round of the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]]. It was paired off with [[Holly]]'s {{p|Wingull}} and was up against a {{p|Yanma}} and {{p|Bagon}}. Wingull attacked with {{m|Blizzard}} but was countered by Yanma's {{m|Steel Wing}} while Sudowoodo used Double-Edge against Bagon's {{m|Zen Headbutt}}. While their opponents argue about strategy, Sudowoodo uses Flail and Wingull performs {{m|Aerial Ace}} to defeat their Pokémon and advance to the next round.

In ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]'', Sudowoodo was used in a tag battle alongside Ash and his {{AP|Pikachu}} against [[Roman]]'s Snorlax and [[Kylie]]'s Munchlax. He was able to defeat Munchlax with a powerful Double-Edge while Pikachu defeated Snorlax with one {{m|Volt Tackle}}.

In ''[[DP111|Saving the World from Ruins!]]'', Sudowoodo teamed up with Croagunk and [[Ash's Staravia]] to attack [[Team Galactic]]'s {{p|Golbat}} army. This created an opening for Pikachu to destroy Team Galactic's machine and free the {{type|Steel}} Pokémon that were being controlled.
[[File:DP125.png|thumb|250px|left|Sudowoodo preparing to battle Marilyn's Cherubi]]
In ''[[DP125|Battling a Cute Drama!]]'', Brock met a Trainer named [[Marilyn]] and quickly became irritated by Marilyn's superficial attitude towards Pokémon. He decided to teach her about the inner strength and beauty of Pokémon with a battle and used Sudowoodo as his first Pokémon. Sudowoodo scores a direct hit with Double-Edge, making Cherubi fall down dramatically. Marilyn ignores the fact it hit and remarks on how Cherubi took the hit, causing Brock to scold her some more. Brock orders Sudowoodo to use Mimic, causing it to fall dramatically too, followed by Fake Tears and Sudowoodo is soon sobbing on the floor. This causes Marilyn to start realizing the true battle strength of Pokémon. Wanting to move things along so he can view Marilyn's other Pokémon, [[James]] declares the round a tie.

In ''[[DP141|Challenging a Towering Figure!]]'', Sudowoodo was used in the [[Festival Battle Challenge]], a tournament marking the end of the [[Twinleaf Festival]] whose winner gets a chance to battle [[Palmer]]. Sudowoodo was seen defeating a Trainer's {{p|Furret}}, though he was knocked out of the tournament off-screen before the finals.

He was seen helping Ash train his {{AP|Infernape}} in ''[[DP185|Working on a Right Move!]]''. With this training, Infernape was able to learn {{m|Flare Blitz}}, which was so strong, it accidentally knocked Sudowoodo out in the process.

Brock used Sudowoodo in a battle against a [[Nurse Joy]] from the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency]] and her {{TP|Nurse Joy|Chansey}} in [[DPS02]]. However, he was caught off guard and defeated when Chansey used {{m|Attract}}. He was later seen cheering on [[Forrest]] when he battled the same Nurse Joy and helped Brock aid Forrest's {{p|Rhyperior}} to recover. Along with [[Lola]]'s {{p|Marill}}, he serves as a playmate to [[Brock's siblings]].

===={{aniseries|SM}}====
In ''[[SM103|Heart of Fire! Heart of Stone!]]'', Sudowoodo accompanied Brock to [[Alola]]. Sudowoodo was used to battle [[Olivia]] and her {{TP|Olivia|Lycanroc}}, only for the match to be interrupted by Team Rocket, who attempted to steal all of the Pokémon. When Team Rocket's efforts failed and they attempted to escape, Brock had Sudowoodo attack their [[Team Rocket's mechas|mecha]].

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Brock Sudowoodo salute.png|thumb|left|250px|Sudowoodo saluting]]
[[File:Brock Sudowoodo Happiny.png|thumb|220px|Sudowoodo and Happiny relaxing in ''[[DP084|Hungry for the Good Life!]]'']]
Being much younger than the other Pokémon in {{ashfr|the group}}, Bonsly was portrayed as needy, childlike, and easily upset. Brock was often seen bottle-feeding him until he could eat solid {{pkmn|food}}. Since his [[Evolution]], he has matured and is no longer a crybaby. In fact, he is very upbeat, as seen in ''[[DP033|All Dressed Up With Somewhere to Go!]]'', when he recovered from a crushing disappointment almost instantly. He also has an odd tendency to {{wp|salute}} Brock whenever he is called from his {{i|Poké Ball}}.

Bonsly occasionally took over from [[Max]] in getting Brock away from girls. However, rather than pull his ear, Bonsly would hit him with a powerful {{m|Double-Edge}}. He apparently did not want to share Brock, his "parent", with anyone else.

Since Brock brought another [[baby Pokémon]] onto his [[Party|team]] by hatching {{TP|Brock|Happiny}} from the {{pkmn|Egg}} he won in the [[Pokémon Dress-Up Contest]], Sudowoodo seems to have bonded with her, and the two frequently are featured doing activities together, almost as if Sudowoodo is an older sibling.

==In the games==
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the player can [[trade]] a Bonsly to [[Brock]] from the {{player}} in exchange for his {{p|Rhyhorn}}, which knows the [[Egg Move]] {{m|Thunder Fang}}. This likely serves as a [[List of cross-canon references|dual reference]] to his interest in [[Pokémon breeding]] and ownership of a Bonsly in {{aniseries|PTS}}.

==In the manga==
[[File:Brock Sudowoodo M10 manga.png|thumb|200px|Sudowoodo in ''The Rise of Darkrai'']]
===Movie adaptations===
====The Rise of Darkrai====
Brock sent out Sudowoodo in the manga version of ''{{ma|The Rise of Darkrai}}'' to battle {{mov|Darkrai|Darkrai|10}}. However, he, along with Happiny, was put to sleep by Darkrai.

==Trivia==
[[File:Brock bottle feeding Bonsly.png|thumb|220px|Brock bottle feeding Bonsly]]
* For [[DP019]], [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia]] is about Brock's Sudowoodo. He writes this Pokémon senryū about it: しんかして　もうなかないよ　ウソッキー ''You've evolved, so don't cry anymore, {{tt|Usokkie|Sudowoodo}}.''
* As a Bonsly, he was the only Pokémon owned by a main character that didn't eat [[Pokémon food]], since Brock always fed him with a bottle. However, he did begin eating Pokémon food before he evolved in ''[[DP014|Leave It To Brocko!]]''.
* Sudowoodo is the only Pokémon to date that Brock caught onscreen through the standard method of battling.
* Despite the fact that Brock specialized in {{type|Rock}} Pokémon as a [[Gym Leader]], Bonsly was the first new Rock-type Pokémon in his [[Party|team]] since his debut in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', 425 episodes before Bonsly was caught.
* Sudowoodo was the first Pokémon in the {{pkmn|animated series}} to [[Move-based Evolution|evolve by the method of knowing a certain move]].
* Sudowoodo is the first Rock-type Pokémon belonging to a main character of the animated series to have evolved onscreen.
* Sudowoodo is the only Pokémon in the animated series to have used the move {{m|Fake Tears}}.
* Sudowoodo, as a Bonsly, was the first Pokémon belonging to one of [[Ash's friends]] to activate his [[Ability]].

'''Jasmine's Steelix''' (Japanese: '''ミカンのハガネール''' ''Mikan's Haganeil'') is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} owned by [[Jasmine]] in the {{pkmn|games}}, {{pkmn|animation}}, and {{pkmn|manga}}.

==In animation==
===Main series===
===={{aniseries|GS}}====
[[File:Jasmine and Steelix.png|thumb|left|220px|Steelix and Jasmine]]
Jasmine was first seen with a Steelix in ''[[EP224|Nerves of Steelix!]]'', where it rescued [[Ash's Pikachu]] after he had been kidnapped by {{TRT}}. It easily managed to knock over their [[Team Rocket's mechas|mecha]] after [[Brock's Onix|Brock]] and [[Janina]]'s {{p|Onix}} had failed to do so. It then disabled the mecha with {{m|Crunch}}, and once Pikachu was safely back in Ash's possession, sent Team Rocket blasting off with a powerful swing of its {{m|Iron Tail}}. Steelix was used again later during the second round in her [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} against Ash. It was put up against Ash's Pikachu, who was fatigued from his previous battle against Jasmine's {{p|Magnemite}}. Additionally, his {{type|Electric}} moves had no effect on the part {{type|Ground}} Steelix, with his {{m|Quick Attack}} not doing much damage to Steelix's hard body. After a valiant effort, Pikachu was easily defeated by a slam from Steelix's Iron Tail.
[[File:EP224.png|thumb|220px|Steelix facing Ash's Cyndaquil]]
Ash then sent out his {{AP|Cyndaquil}} to battle against Steelix. Despite being at a type disadvantage, Steelix managed to defend itself against Cyndaquil's {{m|Flamethrower}} through use of its {{m|Sandstorm}} and then disappeared from the field by {{m|Dig}}ging underground. After resurfacing, its attempts to attack the {{pkmn|category|Fire Mouse Pokémon}} failed as Cyndaquil easily managed to dodge them all. It then reused its Sandstorm and Dig combination to defend against another Flamethrower. After continuously failing to hit one another, Ash had Cyndaquil use {{m|Smokescreen}} and use Steelix's holes to hide in. Once the smoke had been cleared, Cyndaquil managed to land a direct hit with Flamethrower from its hiding place. Jasmine then had her Steelix use Iron Tail on the ground, causing the tunnels below to cave in, forcing Cyndaquil out of the hole. After hitting Cyndaquil with Iron Tail, it looked like Steelix had won. However, Cyndaquil managed to recover and avoid being knocked out through use of Smokescreen. Steelix tried to use Sandstorm to defend against Flamethrower, but this tactic was turned against it in the end as its Sandstorm was set ablaze, surrounding Steelix in a tornado of superheated sand, [[Fainting|defeating]] the Iron Snake Pokémon, and earning Ash the {{Badge|Mineral}}.

It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[EP255|Why? Wynaut!]]''.

===={{aniseries|DP}}====
Steelix reappeared in ''[[DP180|Four Roads Diverged in a Pokémon Port!]]'', when Jasmine challenged [[Flint]] to a Pokémon battle. However, Steelix was unable to land a single hit on [[Flint's Infernape]] and was knocked out by a {{m|Flare Blitz}}.

====Personality and characteristics====
Not much is known about Steelix, as it and its Trainer, Jasmine, have appeared in very few episodes. However, Steelix has been shown to be quite capable in battle, as, during {{Ash}}'s [[Olivine Gym]] battle, it easily defeated {{AP|Pikachu}}, who was unable to deal any meaningful damage to it before fainting. Steelix has proven to be a difficult opponent even when at a type disadvantage, as shown in its battle against {{AP|Cyndaquil}}. During the fight, it employed a frightening strategy involving Sandstorm and Dig, where it created a Sandstorm to defend and obscure itself as it went underground before coming back up to strike the Fire Mouse Pokémon.

===GOTCHA!===
Jasmine's Steelix briefly appeared in [[GOTCHA!]].

==In the games==
:''Rusty redirects here. For the condition for [[Toy Pokémon]], see [[Rusty Pokémon]].''
Steelix have been used by the [[Gym Leader]] Jasmine since her debut in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} and has appeared in every game she has appeared in some capacity.

Another Steelix, nicknamed '''Rusty''' (Japanese: ネール ''Neil'') appears in Master Rank [[Pokémon Super Contest|Super Contests]] in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

Rusty is traded to the player in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} in exchange for any Pokémon, after obtaining the [[National Pokédex]] and exchanging phone numbers with Jasmine at the [[Olivine City]] Cafe (left of the Pokémon center) between 1:00 PM and 2:00 PM. Rusty appears to be a different Steelix than the one used in Gym battles, as he is consistently shown to be a male, while the battling Pokémon is female in [[Generation IV]] games. Rusty's level will be equal to the level of the Pokémon you trade for him. The trade also does not affect Jasmine's team in subsequent battles.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Jasmine Steelix Adventures.png|thumb|190px|Steelix in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
Jasmine's Steelix, [[nickname]]d ('''ハガネちゃん''' ''Hagane-chan'') in the original Japanese version, debuted in ''[[PS155|Capital Kabutops]]''. It was wearing a layer of rock over its steel body, causing everyone to believe it was an {{p|Onix}}. It battled [[Brock's Onix]], and as the two constricted each other, Onix took damage due to Steelix's much harder body and Steelix's outer coating began to chip and fall off. Exposed as being a fraud, Steelix broke out of its disguise and revealed itself to be Steelix. It then easily took down Brock's Onix, and Jasmine explained that her Steelix also used to be an Onix until it evolved. After {{adv|Professor Oak}} explained that Steelix has yet to be officially classified, Jasmine explained that because of its rarity, she hid Steelix's identity so it wouldn't be exploited.

===Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys===
[[File:Jasmine Steelix Golden Boys.png|thumb|190px|Steelix in Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys]]
Jasmine's Steelix appeared in ''[[GB17|A Spectacular Battle To Save Ampharos]]''. During the battle between [[Gold's Pikachu]] and {{GnB|Black}}'s {{p|Gyarados}}, Jasmine had it take Gold's place as she couldn't take waiting for Black to get defeated. However, since Gyarados was taken out by Steelix, they could not get to [[Cianwood City]].

In this manga, Steelix is contained in a [[Heavy Ball]].

===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
[[File:Jasmine Steelix PM.png|thumb|190px|Steelix in Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]
Steelix appeared in ''[[PM093|Tyrogue's in Love?!]]''. After {{TP|Red|Tyrogue}} confessed his feelings to Jasmine by giving her flowers, Steelix rose out of the ground as soon as Jasmine was about to accept the gift. As Steelix was after the same thing, both he and Tyrogue fought for her. As a result, {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} gave them some challenges in which they drank some milk, ate some snack balls and gag battled in the end.

However, Jasmine stopped the fighting between Steelix and Tyrogue. She took out a machine to determine who was compatible. As the machine pointed to Tyrogue and then to {{PPM|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}}, Steelix slammed his head onto the machine in frustration.

===History===
===={{aniseries|XY}}====
=====At Professor Sycamore's Laboratory=====
[[File:Ash Froakie past.png|thumb|left|250px|Froakie with its previous Trainers]]
Greninja's early life was first seen in a flashback in ''[[XY092|Cloudy Fate, Bright Future!]]''. As a Froakie, it hatched from an {{pkmn|Egg}} and initially lived its life alongside other {{p|Froakie}} in a pond. While the other Froakie spent their time playing and dancing, it spent most of its time away from the others training itself. Due to this, it was seen as a disturbance to the group and was attacked. A [[Nurse Joy]] healed Froakie and gave it to {{an|Professor Sycamore}} to be given away as a [[first partner Pokémon]]. It learned that it could only get strong with a {{pkmn|Trainer}} it truly trusted, and thus became very selective of its Trainer. As a result, Froakie had gone through several Trainers, always returning to Sycamore after either leaving them or being returned for being [[Obedience|disobedient]].

In ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', Froakie first saw Ash when he was kicked out of the [[Prism Tower]]. It continued to observe the group until {{TRT}} intervened in Ash and {{an|Clemont}}'s friendly Pokémon battle. It volunteered to help out by successfully using its Frubbles to counter [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]], but ended up receiving quite a bit of damage during the encounter.

In ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'', Ash decided to take Froakie to Sycamore's lab, where it was treated and restored to full health. Asking about its Trainer, Ash was informed, by Sycamore, that its Trainer had called to give Froakie back.

Later on, Team Rocket attempted to use a ring-type device against Froakie, but the lab's resident {{p|Garchomp}} got caught in it instead, causing her to go on a rampage after the machine malfunctioned. Ash, along with Froakie and his {{AP|Pikachu}}, headed out to rescue Garchomp. In order to prevent her from falling down the Prism Tower, Froakie used its Frubbles on Garchomp's feet, and Pikachu broke the device using {{m|Iron Tail}}.

While leaving Professor Sycamore's laboratory the next day, Froakie threw a chunk of its Frubbles in Ash's face in order to get his attention. It motioned to a {{i|Poké Ball}} lying on the ground in front of it, expressing its desire to join his party. When Ash approved, Froakie happily pressed the Poké Ball's button and was {{pkmn2|caught}}.

=====With Ash=====
[[File:Ash Froakie Frubble.png|thumb|250px|Froakie throwing its Frubbles]]
In ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]'', Froakie was introduced to {{an|Professor Oak}}, who was fascinated by the Bubble Frog Pokémon. For most of the subsequent trip on {{rt|4|Kalos}}, Froakie was seen outside of its Poké Ball. After a wild {{AP|Fletchling}} took a [[Berry]] that {{an|Bonnie}} was going to give to a {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}}, Froakie stubbornly attempted to fight Fletchling, only to lose. After Ash learned that it was only trying to get payback at Fletchling for making Bonnie sad, he and Froakie challenged Fletchling to one final battle by climbing the rocks to match Fletchling's speed. Although Fletchling escaped from Ash's Poké Ball once, Froakie later defeated it, which ended in both its defeat and catch.

In ''[[XY013|Kindergarten Chaos!]]'', Froakie battled {{OBP|Penelope|XY013}}'s {{p|Sylveon}} and was about to finish Sylveon off when it was infatuated with {{m|Attract}} and defeated with a {{m|Draining Kiss}}. As the group arrived at the kindergarten where Penelope worked, Froakie was left embarrassed by its loss and stood alone while the other Pokémon played with the kindergartners. When Team Rocket appeared and stole Pikachu and Sylveon, Froakie and [[Randall]], one of the children, were accidentally trapped in Team Rocket's truck during the chaos. Later, when Ash entered the truck, the three worked together to break the glass containers holding Pikachu and Sylveon, helping Randall get over his fear of Pokémon in the process. Froakie and Pikachu managed to defeat Team Rocket and sent them blasting off. Afterward, Froakie and Randall gave each other a fist bump as a sign of their new friendship, before the group said goodbye to everyone at the kindergarten.

In ''[[XY017|A Rush of Ninja Wisdom!]]'', Froakie battled [[Sanpei's Frogadier]]. During the battle, Frogadier used {{m|Quick Attack}} and was able to defeat Froakie, who was unable to keep up with Frogadier's moves despite its stubbornness about winning the battler. Impressed by Frogadier's Quick Attack, Ash wanted to teach it to Froakie with the help of [[Sanpei]]. However, despite lots of training, Froakie still wasn't able to perfect Quick Attack. Suddenly, Team Rocket attacked the group and caught Pikachu and Frogadier. Thanks to its training, Froakie managed to learn {{m|Double Team}} and used it to free Pikachu and Frogadier. Working with Frogadier, they both used Water Pulse to blast Team Rocket off.
[[File:Ash Froakie vs Grant Onix.png|thumb|250px|left|Froakie battling Grant's Onix]]
In ''[[XY024|An Undersea Place to Call Home!]]'', Froakie, in order to save itself and a {{p|Skrelp}} from a whirlpool, jumped on boxes and debris to escape from the whirlpool and reach safety. This gave Ash the idea for the Rock Tomb Climb. In [[XY025|the next episode]], Ash used Froakie as his first Pokémon in his [[Cyllage Gym]] Battle against [[Grant]]. Froakie went up against his {{p|Onix}}. During the battle, Onix used its signature move {{m|Rock Tomb}}, but Froakie used this opportunity to perform Rock Tomb Climb by climbing on the falling rocks. After reaching the top, Froakie used Water Pulse, which dealt major damage to Onix. After narrowly dodging an Iron Tail, it climbed up Onix's large body and defeated it with Water Pulse. Froakie went up against Grant's last Pokémon, {{p|Tyrunt}}, during which Froakie performed Rock Tomb Climb again. However, Tyrunt jumped high and used {{m|Draco Meteor}}, knocking Froakie out.

In ''[[XY035|The Forest Champion!]]'', Froakie was used to battle a wild {{AP|Hawlucha}} Ash had befriended. After an exchange of multiple attacks, Hawlucha used {{m|Flying Press}}, but Froakie countered with Pound at the last minute, causing a collision that knocked out both Pokémon and ended the battle in a draw. Later, Froakie was seen when Ash caught Hawlucha. It would later have a conflict with Hawlucha in ''[[XY038|Forging Forest Friendships!]]''. In the wake of learning {{m|Cut}}, Ash and Clemont decided to have a battle in which Froakie and Hawlucha battled against {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}} and {{TP|Clemont|Bunnelby}}. Ash commanded Hawlucha to use {{m|Karate Chop}} to counter Bunnelby's {{m|Mud Shot}}, but Froakie used Water Pulse on Bunnelby instead. This angered Hawlucha, who wanted to hit Bunnelby. The dispute later escalated, requiring them to be separated by Ash. In an attempt to defuse the tension, Ash decided to train the two in using a new move called "Super Flying Cut". During the training, Ash was kidnapped by a wild {{p|Trevenant}}, and both Froakie and Hawlucha got separated from the rest of the group in the process. After finding [[Ash's hat]], the two resolved their differences and sought to find their Trainer. After finding him, they battled Team Rocket, overcoming their Pokémon with their new special move and blasting them off. Having a newfound respect for each other, Froakie and Hawlucha gave each other a fist bump, solidifying their new friendship.
[[File:XY052.png|thumb|250px|Froakie teaming up with Sanpei's Greninja]]
In ''[[XY052|A Stealthy Challenge!]]'', Froakie was training with Ash and Pikachu when Bonnie noticed Sanpei in the water. It went rescued him and his {{p|Greninja}}, who were previously attacked by [[Saizo]] and his {{p|Barbaracle}}. After thwarting another attack, the group decided to help Sanpei find a mansion so he could deliver a secret document given to him by his mentor. Eventually, after they and their Trainers were separated from the rest of the group, Froakie and Greninja encountered Saizo once more and had a rematch. However, neither their joint attacks nor the involvement of Pikachu gave them the upper hand. The three are eventually trapped in rocks by Barbaracle's {{m|Mud-Slap}}, which also blinded Pikachu and Greninja. Froakie managed to break free and evolve into a Frogadier; it weakened the Collective Pokémon with its new move {{m|Aerial Ace}} before Saizo fled the battle. After reaching the mansion, it was revealed that Saizo was in fact Sanpei's mentor, who had been testing his student and that the document was actually blank. Frogadier and Greninja had a battle at the end of the episode, but the outcome was unknown.

In ''[[XY058|The Green, Green Grass Types of Home!]]'', Ash used Frogadier as his third and final Pokémon in his [[Coumarine Gym]] Battle against [[Ramos]]. Despite being at a type disadvantage, it went up against {{p|Weepinbell}}, which had already defeated Fletchinder and Hawlucha. Frogadier was eventually able to defeat the Flycatcher Pokémon with Aerial Ace, which overcame and destroyed its {{m|Grass Knot}}. Frogadier's next battle is up against Ramos's last Pokémon, his {{p|Gogoat}}. During the battle, Gogoat used {{m|Leech Seed}} on Frogadier, trapping it while draining Frogadier's health and then used {{m|Razor Leaf}}, circling around Frogadier while launching leaves at it. As a result, neither Ash nor Frogadier were able to see Gogoat. Then, Ash remembered the advice that Ramos gave him; that getting flustered would only make matters worse, and that if he kept a level head he'd be able to see the important things. With the advice in mind, Ash had Frogadier listen for the sounds of Gogoat's movements. After getting hit by multiple leaves, it finally managed to sense Gogoat, cut through the Razor Leaf, and did major damage with Aerial Ace before using Double Team. Though the Mount Pokémon took out the copies with Vine Whip, this gave Frogadier an opening. It hit Gogoat with Water Pulse and knocked it out, giving Ash the win and earning him the {{badge|Plant}}.
[[File:Ash and Greninja.png|thumb|250px|left|Greninja and Ash]]
In ''[[XY073|A Fashionable Battle!]]'', Ash used Frogadier and Hawlucha for his [[Double Battle]] against [[Sawyer]]. They went up against [[Sawyer's Treecko]] and {{p|Bagon}} and won. However, before Ash and Sawyer could continue their battle, they were interrupted by the commotion caused by [[Valerie]]'s Fashion Show. Later, in ''[[XY075|Rivals: Today and Tomorrow!]]'', Ash used Frogadier as his third Pokémon in his three-versus-three battle against Sawyer. It went up against {{p|Treecko}}, despite the type disadvantage. During the battle, Treecko suddenly evolved into {{p|Grovyle}}, learning {{m|Leaf Blade}} in the process. Despite this development, however, Frogadier took advantage of smoke, created by the collision of its Water Pulse and Grovyle's Bullet Seed, to get into the air and attack Grovyle with Water Pulse from behind, defeating the Wood Gecko Pokémon. After the battle, both Frogadier and Grovyle were impressed with the other's abilities and developed a rivalry with each other.

In ''[[XY092|Cloudy Fate, Bright Future!]]'', Frogadier's past was revealed by [[Olympia]], who also predicted it would gain great power. In [[XY093|the next episode]], Frogadier was used along with Talonflame in a [[Double Battle]] against [[Olympia]]'s two {{p|Meowstic}} at the Anistar Gym. The two initially had a difficult time dodging their opponents' moves thanks to their {{m|Helping Hand}}-boosted {{m|Future Sight}} and the female Meowstic's Ability {{a|Keen Eye}}. However, Ash came up with a strategy to have Pikachu keep track of the time it took for Future Sight to hit its mark. During an exchange of attacks, Frogadier was {{status|Paralysis|paralyzed}} by the female Meowstic's {{m|Thunder Wave}}. Eventually, it and Talonflame charged at the Meowstic and managed to grab onto them. Thanks to Pikachu, they were able to let them go at the moment Future Sight was executed, causing it to hit Meowstic instead. As Talonflame knocked the female Meowstic out with Flame Charge, Frogadier prepared to defeat the male with Water Pulse. Despite initial difficulties with its paralysis, Frogadier managed to overpower the male Meowstic's Psyshock, thanks to Ash's words of encouragement, and knocked Meowstic out. This gave Ash the victory, earning him the {{badge|Psychic}}.

In ''[[XY099|The Legend of the Ninja Hero!]]'', Frogadier was seen training with Ash and then met up with Sanpei and his Greninja again; they took the group to their hometown, the [[Ninja Village]]. Frogadier watched the battle between Sanpei's Greninja and [[Nihei]]'s {{p|Venusaur}} with great interest and was shocked when Greninja was defeated. Then, Frogadier followed Ash and his friends and saw the shrine dedicated to the Hero Greninja. When the village was attacked, Frogadier and Ash, along with Sanpei and Greninja, chased after the kidnappers of {{kal|Hanzo}}, the village elder, but were confronted by [[Heidayu]] and his {{p|Bisharp}}.

In [[XY100|the next episode]], Frogadier, along with Pikachu and Sanpei's Greninja, began to battle Heidayu's Bisharp. Bisharp easily overcame their combined efforts, but it was defeated due to the intervention of Saizo and his Barbaracle. Later, Frogadier joined Pikachu and Sanpei's Greninja in a rematch with Bisharp, but they still struggled against the Sword Blade Pokémon. While the three Pokémon struggled to stand after being subjected to Bisharp's {{m|Snarl}}, Heidayu ordered Bisharp to finish Pikachu off with Shadow Claw. At the last moment, Frogadier got up and jumped in front of Pikachu to protect him, causing it to evolve into Greninja and learn {{m|Water Shuriken}}. Following its Evolution, Greninja was matched with Bisharp due to its new powerful attack. Hearing Ash's words of encouragement, Greninja mysteriously transformed into a new form, that would later be known as '''Ash-Greninja''' ('''サトシゲッコウガ''' ''Satoshi-Gekkouga''). With its new power, Greninja knocked Bisharp out with a powerful Cut. Afterward, the torrent of water surrounding it dissipated and Greninja reverted to its normal form, leaving Ash confused over what just happened. After the Ninja Army was defeated, Greninja bade Sanpei and his Greninja farewell as Ash and his friends left the village.
[[File:Ash Greninja Sawyer Sceptile.png|thumb|250px|Greninja's rivalry with Sawyer's Sceptile]]
In ''[[XY102|Meeting at Terminus Cave!]]'', Greninja was used by Ash to retrieve [[Squishy]], who was captured by Team Rocket at the time. Greninja quickly retrieved it and returned it to Bonnie. After Squishy defeated [[Team Flare]]'s Pokémon and ran away, Greninja battled [[Celosia]]'s {{p|Manectric}} and [[Bryony]]'s {{p|Liepard}}, who chased after Squishy. During the battle, it transformed into its Ash-Greninja form and easily beat Manectric and Liepard back with its great speed and power, forcing Team Flare to retreat. During the battle, it was shown that Ash and Greninja share each other's pain and exhaustion while Greninja was in its Ash-Greninja form. Afterward, Greninja and Ash fell to their knees in exhaustion.

In ''[[XY106|A Meeting of Two Journeys!]]'', Greninja was first used to battle Sawyer's Sceptile. It was eventually able to defeat Sceptile with Aerial Ace upon transforming into Ash-Greninja. Its transformation was noticed by [[Alain]], who was passing by. The next day, Alain requested a battle with Greninja, and Ash agreed. During the battle between Greninja and [[Alain's Charizard]], Charizard [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]], while Greninja again evolved into Ash-Greninja. In the end, Charizard was able to defeat Greninja with {{m|Blast Burn}}.

In ''[[XY116|The Synchronicity Test!]]'', Clemont developed an invention that would monitor Ash and Greninja's pulse so the group would know more about Greninja's transformation ability. Greninja was sent out to spar with [[Clemont's Luxray]] to try and trigger the transformation. Despite multiple attacks being exchanged, the battle was eventually called off since both Pokémon became tired and Greninja's transformation still hadn't taken place. After Alain showed up, he and Ash agreed to have a rematch, with Greninja battling Alain's Charizard once more. During the battle, Charizard Mega Evolved and managed to hit Greninja with a powerful Thunder Punch. This triggered its transformation into Ash-Greninja, and it was able to match Charizard in combat with its increased power. However, the battle was called off when Ash collapsed from exhaustion. When Ash regained consciousness, he realized that he and Greninja would have to be more careful in using the transformation. Thus, he vowed to train harder in order to perfect it.

In ''[[XY118|Championing a Research Battle!]]'', Ash and his friends met up with [[Diantha]], who battled Ash and Greninja with {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}} after hearing of the latter's special power. Eventually, Greninja and Ash reached the point where they could transform into Ash-Greninja. Diantha was impressed by its special form, as Greninja started to gain the upper hand. It was able to keep up with Gardevoir's speed and strike it. Diantha finally had Gardevoir Mega Evolve and repel Greninja's attacks. With their power matched, Ash and Greninja reached Ash-Greninja's final form, and the water veil that surrounded Greninja turned into a massive, back-mounted shuriken, much to everyone's shock. Greninja attacked with its new Water Shuriken, which proved to be stronger against Gardevoir's {{m|Shadow Ball}}. However, before the battle could progress any further, both Greninja and Ash passed out again from exhaustion. As a result, Gardevoir had to fend off Team Rocket while the two regained consciousness. Greninja and Ash soon recovered and vowed to fully master their newfound transformation.
[[File:Ash Greninja Lumiose Conference.png|thumb|left|250px|As Ash-Greninja in the Lumiose Conference]]
From ''[[XY119|A Full-Strength Battle Surprise!]]'' to ''[[XY121|Seeing the Forest for the Trees!]]'', Ash and Greninja faced a major personal crisis in being able to perfect the Ash-Greninja form. Ash first started having doubts about himself after Greninja lost to Sawyer's Sceptile during their three-on-three battle, having been unable to transform. [[XY120|Later on]], Ash and Greninja finally managed to activate the form during the Gym battle against [[Wulfric]], but despite that, Greninja still lost due to being frozen by {{p|Avalugg}}'s attacks. Blaming himself for their loss, Ash decided to leave Greninja at the [[Pokémon Center]] and walked off into the [[Kalos Route 20|Winding Woods]] alone. In [[XY121|the following episode]], Greninja left to look for Ash. With Squishy's help, they reunited during a blizzard and worked together to save a bunch of {{p|Spewpa}} that were trapped on a tree branch hanging above a cliff. As a result, they were able to get their feelings in sync, and Greninja was able to perfect the Ash-Greninja form. Afterward, Ash and Greninja, along with some forest Pokémon, sought shelter in a cave, where the two promised to start over again. Later on, they reunited with the group and returned to the Pokémon Center. There, Greninja showed Ash its Poké Ball and rolled it over to him, just like the time when it was first caught, signifying their resolve to start over again.

In ''[[XY122|A Real Icebreaker!]]'', Greninja was sent out as Ash's third and final Pokémon during the rematch against Wulfric, and it battled his {{p|Abomasnow}} this time, despite having a severe type disadvantage. During the battle, Greninja proved to hold its own against Abomasnow. As a result, Wulfric revealed his [[Key Stone]] and Mega Evolved Abomasnow. Against Mega Abomasnow, Greninja had a much harder time, but after an exchange of attacks, it eventually finished Abomasnow off with a powerful Aerial Ace. This gave Ash the win and earned him his final [[Kalos]] Badge, the {{badge|Iceberg}}.

In ''[[XY125|A League of His Own!]]'', Ash used Greninja in the first round of the [[Lumiose Conference]], where it faced [[Titus]]'s {{p|Altaria}}. Greninja transformed into Ash-Greninja during the battle, shocking the spectators, and defeated Altaria with a single Water Shuriken. In ''[[XY128|A Riveting Rivalry!]]'', Greninja was used as Ash's final Pokémon in the semifinals. It faced off against Sawyer's Sceptile again, during which both Pokémon transformed into their more powerful forms. Despite Sceptile's attempts to corner Greninja with {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, Greninja was able to dodge every single Frenzy Plant-summoned tree root and slice through them using Cut, thanks to its shared senses with Ash and its full trust in him. Greninja fired a massive Water Shuriken while Sceptile countered with Leaf Storm, triggering a large explosion. After the smoke cleared, only Greninja remained standing, giving Ash the win and allowing him to advance to the finals.
[[File:XY131.png|thumb|250px|Greninja's battle against Alain's Charizard]]
In ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', Greninja was Ash's final Pokémon used in the finals against Alain. After defeating Alain's Bisharp, it faced off against Charizard. After several exchanges of attacks, Ash and Alain had their Pokémon use Water Shuriken and Blast Burn, respectively. As Greninja unleashed all of its power into the attack, its Shuriken grew to a massive size and changed to a fiery red-orange color. Both Pokémon fired off their attacks, with both scoring a direct hit on their opponent. Although initially, both Pokémon were still standing, Greninja wasn't able to take the damage and soon fainted, causing Alain to win the Lumiose Conference.

In ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'', Greninja, along with Ash and his other Pokémon, was taken captive at the top of Prism Tower by [[Lysandre]], who intended to use their [[Bond Phenomenon]] for his plans. In [[XY133|the next episode]], it and Ash were hit by a miniature version of the Team Flare's Mega Evolution energy ray, designed to control them, but they broke free using Bond Phenomenon. After Alain's Charizard broke Ash's other Pokémon free, Greninja, along with everyone else, battled [[Lysandre's Pyroar]] and {{Shiny}} Mega {{p|Gyarados}}. [[XY134|Later on]], Pyroar, Noivern, Hawlucha, and Goodra were defeated; and [[Malva]] appeared and decided to fight alongside Ash and Alain.

The battle finally concluded in ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'', when Greninja and Charizard hit Gyarados with a respective Cut and Dragon Claw, allowing Pikachu to finish the Atrocious Pokémon off with a Thunderbolt. Greninja later helped [[Serena's Braixen]], [[Steven's Metagross]], and Professor Sycamore's Garchomp fight against the [[Giant Rock]]. Greninja managed to sense [[Chespie]]'s location inside the Giant Rock and managed to throw a Water Shuriken into its body, marking the location. It, along with the other Pokémon, was eventually subdued by the Giant Rock's roots but was freed by a combined attack from the Pokémon of all the Kalos Gym Leaders and Diantha. After coming up with a strategy, everyone combined their powers to fend off the Giant Rock's roots, allowing Ash and Alain to reach its center and save Chespie, bringing the creature down. After the resurrection of the Giant Rock, which was now controlled by Lysandre, Greninja, Pikachu, and Alain's Charizard managed to destroy Lysandre's control device, allowing Squishy and [[Z2]] to destroy the Giant Rock.

In ''[[XY139|Facing the Needs of the Many!]]'', Greninja detected the presence of one of the Giant Rock's remaining roots. After transforming into Ash-Greninja, it was able to see the root's underground source and used {{m|Water Shuriken}} on it, causing the root to wither away. After [[Xerosic]] revealed his plans to create Neo-[[Team Flare]] and kidnapped {{an|Clemont}}, Ash sent Greninja to follow him. It helped Ash and his friends defeat Xerosic in battle, leading to Xerosic's arrest. However, parts of the Giant Rock still remained. After [[Squishy]] appeared and saved {{an|Bonnie}} from another root, it led Greninja and the group to [[Z2]], who requested Greninja to help it and Squishy detect and destroy all of the Giant Rock's remnants. Greninja accepted Z2's request and bid farewell to Ash and his friends. In [[XY140|the following episode]], Greninja was seen destroying a root, with Squishy and Z2 watching nearby.

[[File:Ash Greninja aura.png|thumb|left|250px|Greninja helping Lucario strengthen its Aura]]
[[File:Ash Kalos Pokémon JN132.png|thumb|250px|Greninja encouraging Pikachu in a vision]]
In ''[[JN108|Catching the Aura of Fate!]]'', Greninja reunited with Ash and Pikachu, and accepted its former Trainer's request for help in training {{AP|Lucario}}. After quickly defeating Lucario in a sparring match, Greninja witnessed the Aura Pokémon run off in frustration. Greninja found Lucario and offered it some advice in order to strengthen its [[Aura]] abilities, showcasing that it needed to be in perfect balance. However, after sensing a cluster of giant roots that was attacking Ash and [[Goh]], Greninja and Lucario went back to help the boys. Greninja and Lucario teamed up to take the roots down through a combination of Water Shuriken and {{m|Aura Sphere}}. Returning to its duty, Greninja bid goodbye to Ash, Goh, and Lucario.

Greninja reappeared in ''[[JN109|Aim For The Eight!]]'', sensing Lucario as it drew power from its allies' Aura during Ash's battle against [[Raihan]] in [[Galar]]. In ''[[JN125|Whittle While You Work!]]'', Greninja sensed Lucario once again as the Aura Pokémon drew power from its Aura during Ash's battle against {{an|Cynthia}} in the [[Masters Eight Tournament]].

In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Greninja appeared as a vision to Pikachu during his battle against [[Leon's Charizard]].

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

In ''[[JN142|The Same Moon, Now and Forever!]]'', Greninja appeared in a flashback as Frogadier.

===Personality and characteristics===
As a Froakie, it was a stubborn, picky Pokémon, displayed by the fact that it had several other Trainers that it refused to listen to, either forcing them to return it to Professor Sycamore or abandoning them and returning to the lab itself. It is also extremely similar to Ash personality wise, as it is not afraid to leap into danger regardless of its own safety and doesn't back down from a fight. It is clear that it recognizes these traits in Ash, hence why it was finally willing to accept being taken into Ash's wing. It also has a sense of honor, as demonstrated when it attacked {{p|Fletchling}} just because it made {{an|Bonnie}} cry. In ''[[XY011|The Bamboozling Forest!]]'', it is shown to have a good judgment of character, as it became suspicious of Meowth when he pretended to side with it, {{AP|Pikachu}}, and {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}} under a temporary truce. Froakie is prone to blushing when praised, as shown when being thanked by Bonnie in ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]'' and {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}} in ''[[XY011|The Bamboozling Forest!]]''. As shown in ''[[XY013|Kindergarten Chaos!]]'', Greninja as a Froakie gets embarrassed when losing in a bad way, such as when it lost because of Attract.
[[File:Ash-Greninja water veil.png|thumb|left|250px|Covered in a water veil as Ash-Greninja]]
Since evolving into a Frogadier, its personality remained largely the same. It is still shown to be loyal to Ash, as shown when it hugged him after its victory in the Coumarine City Gym battle. Greninja is a responsible Pokémon that can take initiative to protect its friends and allies, as shown in ''[[XY071|So You're Having a Bad Day!]]'', it volunteered to scout ahead to protect {{an|Serena}} and Chespin after they had gotten separated from the group and defended them from a wild {{p|Pangoro}}. Greninja also appears to be good with younger Pokémon and children. As a Froakie, in addition to challenging Fletchling for making Bonnie cry, it was able to befriend the timid [[Randall]] during one of {{TRT}}'s schemes. As a Frogadier, it can be seen looking after {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} in ''[[XY059|Under the Pledging Tree!]]'' while Ash and his friends were preparing gifts for their Pokémon.
[[File:Ash Froakie protecting Pikachu.png|thumb|250px|Froakie protecting Pikachu]]
Greninja cares deeply for its friends and would go to great lengths to keep them safe from danger, as seen when it took an attack for {{AP|Talonflame}} in the [[Anistar Gym]] battle against [[Olympia]] in ''[[XY093|All Eyes on the Future!]]''. Greninja has even shown to be the peace maker of the group and is usually the voices of reason whenever there is conflict. Greninja is also very wise, offering advice and encouragement to those who need it, as seen in ''[[JN108|Catching the Aura of Fate!]]'', when [[Ash's Lucario]] had trouble finding balance in its [[Aura]] and bond with their Trainer.

Greninja seems to appreciate and respect bravery and selflessness, and as such, aims to be so itself. This is first shown when it took a hit for Pikachu during Team Rocket's attack despite not knowing Pikachu or his Trainer, and then proceeded to help them both in combat. It respects those with these traits, as it does Ash. Greninja was impressed and surprised by Ash's willingness to put himself in danger to help a Garchomp that wasn't his Pokémon and barely knew, and admired this show of self-sacrifice and selflessness to the point Greninja as a Froakie went alongside Ash to face Garchomp. It also showed genuine concern for Ash's safety when Ash jumped off the Prism Tower. A lack of these traits in its previous Trainers may be what caused Greninja to leave them.

Greninja has been shown to enjoy battling, and seems to enjoy the opportunity to fight a strong opponent. Once recognizing Sawyer's Grovyle's strength, it developed a rivalry with it. It also seems to relish at both the thought and the action of defeating a strong opponent, as seen when it grinned before fighting Sawyer's Grovyle, and defeating Grant's Onix.

Greninja's close bond with Ash was also one of his greatest insecurities, as their repeated failure to master the Ash-Greninja form started to weigh heavily on Trainer and Pokémon alike. When Ash left Greninja in the Pokémon center after the loss to Wulfric, out of a sense of guilt for Greninja's injuries, a saddened Greninja gave chase as soon as he recovered. It was revealed Greninja also felt responsible for their loss. After fully synchronizing their feelings to save a Spewpa, however, Ash explained to Greninja why he wanted to become a Pokémon Trainer, and that he saw his Pokémon as his closest friends. After that, Greninja and Ash came to fully understand each other.

To that end, Ash taught Froakie how to jump on the projectiles for momentum and use them to get close to Onix for powerful hits. Ash dubbed this technique 'Rock Tomb Climb'.

Froakie gets on Hawlucha's back, and Hawlucha starts flying. Froakie would jump off of Hawlucha, and use {{m|Cut}} on the target. Then Hawlucha would come down and hit the same target, resulting in major damage. This was mastered during the battle with {{TRT}}, resulting in their defeat.

==In the games==
===In the core series===
Ash's Greninja is featured in the {{FB|Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon|Special Demo Version}} of {{g|Sun and Moon}}. In it, {{ga|Elio}}, the [[player character]], is given a Greninja with Ash as his [[Original Trainer]] to take care of, met by Ash on [[XY002|October 17, 2013]] at level 5 in the [[Alola]] [[region]]. It has Hardy [[nature]], 31 {{IV}} in Attack, Special Attack, Speed and 20 {{IV}} in HP, Defense, Special Defense, 2 {{EV}}s in HP, 128 EVs in Attack, 128 EVs in Special Attack, and 252 EVs in Speed. Completing the demo allows the player to transfer the Greninja to the full game, which resets its nature while keeping its IVs and EVs the same.

Like in {{aniseries|PTS}}, this Greninja can transform into {{form|Greninja|Ash-Greninja}} by defeating a Pokémon in a battle with two or more Pokémon, activating its unique [[Ability]], {{a|Battle Bond}}. Internally, Battle Bond Greninja, before transforming, are treated as an alternate form separate from Greninja with {{a|Torrent}} or {{a|Protean}}. Greninja can only transform in [[Generation VII]]; in [[Generation IX]], Battle Bond simply gives stat boosts to Greninja.

==Trivia==
* Greninja's capture as a Froakie marks the first time that Ash catches a [[first partner Pokémon]] as his first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in a [[region]].
** Greninja is also the first of Ash's first regional catches that is not a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} Pokémon since {{AP|Heracross}} in ''[[EP119|A Sappy Ending]]'', 682 episodes earlier, as well as the only one of his first series catches that isn't capable of flying in any of its Evolutions.
* Greninja is Ash's only Pokémon to be owned by more than one Trainer before him.
* Greninja, as a Frogadier, never lost a single {{pkmn|battle}}.
* Greninja is the only {{type|Water}} [[first partner Pokémon]] to have [[Evolution|evolved]] under Ash's ownership.
** Greninja is also the first fully evolved Water-type first partner Pokémon owned by a main character.
** As a Froakie, Greninja was also Ash's first Water type to evolve under his ownership since his {{p|Krabby}} evolved into {{AP|Kingler}} in ''[[EP075|Round One - Begin!]]'', 776 episodes earlier.
** Greninja is also Ash's only Water type to have evolved twice.
* Greninja is the first Water-type first partner Pokémon to:
** Evolve since [[Brock's Marshtomp]], who evolved from {{p|Mudkip}} in ''[[AG148|A Chip Off the Old Brock]]'', 429 episodes earlier.
*** This is also the first time that a Water-type first partner Pokémon has evolve into a dual type since Brock's Marshtomp as well.
** Have evolved in its native region.
* Greninja is the first of Ash's first partner Pokémon to have its Egg revealed onscreen.
* Greninja is the first Pokémon belonging to a main character to change [[form]].
* Out of all Pokémon that have been {{pkmn2|released}} by Ash, Greninja:
** Is the only one to be a first partner Pokémon.
** Is the first one to physically appear outside of the [[series]] it was released in, as well as the only one that was caught and released outside of the original series with this distinction.
** Has spent the most amount of time on his [[Party|team]] before being released, lasting for 137 episodes.
* In the original Japanese version of ''[[XY098|Dream a Little Dream from Me!]]'', Frogadier, as a Froakie in a dream, spoke in archaic Japanese, a trope common among ninjas in modern Japanese fiction.
* When Greninja evolved from Frogadier in ''[[XY100|A Festival of Decisions!]]'', it evolved in a similar situation to when it evolved from Froakie in ''[[XY052|A Stealthy Challenge!]]'', with [[Ash's Pikachu]] and [[Sanpei]]'s Greninja already hurt by the enemy and laying down in defeat.
** The episode in which Frogadier evolved into Greninja aired in Japan almost exactly a year after the episode in which it evolved from Froakie to Frogadier, with only one day shy of being a full year.
* In the dub of ''[[XY013|Kindergarten Chaos!]]'', Ash implied that Greninja is male by calling it a "he".
* Greninja is the only Pokémon Ash caught in [[Kalos]] to have never been weak to {{type|Ice}} attacks in any stage of its Evolution.
** Inversely, Greninja is the only Pokémon Ash caught in Kalos that does not resist {{type|Grass}} attacks.
* Greninja's transformation into its Ash-Greninja form marked the debut of the form, as it would not appear in the games until the release of [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], almost a year later.

Cosplay Pikachu

2026-07-07T21:52:06Z

Reinhartmax:

[[File:ORAS Contest art.png|thumb|300px|Artwork featuring Cosplay Pikachu with {{ga|Brendan}} and {{ga|May}} in [[Contest]]s from {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}]]
'''Cosplay Pikachu''' (Japanese: '''おきがえピカチュウ''' ''Clothes-changing Pikachu'') is a [[Pikachu variants|variant]] female {{p|Pikachu}} that is able to be dressed up into five different costumes corresponding to each of the five [[Contest condition]]s ({{OBP|Cool|condition}}ness, {{OBP|Beautiful|condition|Beauty}}, {{OBP|Cute|condition}}ness, {{OBP|Clever|condition}}ness, and {{OBP|Tough|condition}}ness), and learn exclusive [[move]]s, which are linked to these costumes.

Without a costume, Cosplay Pikachu has the appearance of a female Pikachu with a black heart on the tip of its tail (fitting the heart-shaped notch all female Pikachu have on their tail).

==In the core series games==
In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, after the first time the player takes part in a {{pkmn|Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectacular}}, an [[Non-player character|NPC]] will give the player Cosplay Pikachu because according to her it matches the player's costume; the Cosplay Pikachu she gives the player will be in the Pikachu Rock Star costume for male players or the Pikachu Pop Star costume for female players. When obtained, Cosplay Pikachu will have its [[Hidden Ability]] and its [[Contest condition]] in each category is equally elevated. Cosplay Pikachu cannot be {{Shiny}}.

Cosplay Pikachu can switch between costumes at any time by going to any [[Contest Hall]] in the [[Hoenn]] region and talking to the {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} in the green room. This Pokémon Breeder can also remove the costume.

Upon removing a costume, Cosplay Pikachu will forget the special move associated with the previous costume. Upon putting on a new costume, Cosplay Pikachu will learn the special move associated with the new costume. When changing costume, if Cosplay Pikachu knows four moves but not the special move of its previous costume, the player will be prompted to replace a move with the new exclusive move in order for it to put on the costume. If Cosplay Pikachu's only known move is the special move and the costume is removed, then it will learn {{m|Thunder Shock}}. Cosplay Pikachu can remain in a costume even if it forgets the associated special move.

Unlike other Pikachu, Cosplay Pikachu is in the {{egg3|No Eggs Discovered}}, meaning it cannot [[Pokémon breeding|breed]]. It also cannot [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Raichu}} and is unaffected by the [[Eviolite]]. Like any Pikachu, though, Cosplay Pikachu is affected by the [[Light Ball]].

Cosplay Pikachu cannot be deposited in {{g|Bank}}, nor can it be [[trade]]d via [[Wonder Trade]] or [[Global Trade System]]. If used in a link battle involving [[Pokémon X and Y]], it shows up as a regular Pikachu in the [[Kalos]] games.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon GO===
Pikachu Libre appears in {{g|GO}}, where it can only be caught during a potential reward encounter for Trainers that have at least reached rank 10 (Legend since Season 6) in the [[GO Battle League]].

Pikachu Pop Star and Pikachu Rock Star were both added in the game as part of [[List of events in Pokémon GO#Global events|Pokémon GO Fest 2021]]. They can be obtained from [[Special Research]] occurring during the event and are mutually exclusive to each other.

Pikachu, Ph. D. was added in the game on March 1st, 2024 as the reward for getting the platinum Showcase Star medal.

Those Cosplay Pikachu, like in the core series, are always female.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''====
Five Pikachu wearing the Cosplay Pikachu outfits appeared in ''[[XY078|Lights! Camera! Pika!]]'', under the ownership of [[Frank]]. Out of these, Pikachu Rock Star and Pikachu Libre were shown to be regular male Pikachu, while the others were female Pikachu with a black heart marking on their tails like in the games.

Frank was filming {{DL|Movies in the Pokémon world|The Lightning-fast Hero! Super Pikachu!!|a Pikachu movie}}, with Pikachu Libre acting as the villain and the others as residents of [[Pikachu Land]]. Seeing [[Ash's Pikachu]], he decided to give it the role of the movie's hero, "Super Pikachu". With {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} helping out, the movie was successfully filmed and completed.

Multiple Cosplay Pikachu also appeared in the extra scenes of the [[Poké TV]] program for [[XY101]], called ''Performer News'', in which they were seen performing in [[Pokémon Showcase]]s.

====[[Pokémon movie]]s====
One of each Cosplay Pikachu variant appeared in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', amongst the multiple Pikachu summoned by {{an|Hoopa}} as part of a prank against Ash and his Pikachu. After initially panicking due to their new surroundings, the entire Pikachu horde, including the Cosplay Pikachu, was calmed down by Ash's Pikachu and sent back to their original homes in an orderly fashion with the help of Hoopa's portals.

There are several Cosplay Pikachu, all but one of which are male; the only exception was Pikachu Pop Star, which is the only one with the black tail tip. They reappeared in a flashback in ''[[PS603|Slowbro Has an Idea]]''.

===Pokémon UNITE Manga - Come On Over to Aeos Island!===
In [[Pokémon UNITE Manga - Come On Over to Aeos Island!]], during ''[[COA2|Zirco's Holowear]]'', [[Zirco]] thinks of Pikachu Pop Star as he describes [[Pokémon Contests]] as having "pizzazz". Pikachu Pop Star is depicted with the heart shaped tail and black mark, indicating that it is female.

==Trivia==
* Cosplay Pikachu shares several similarities with {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}'s [[Spiky-eared Pichu]]. Both are [[Gender|female]]-only variants of the {{p|Pikachu}} evolutionary line who were introduced in [[remake]]s. They are both incapable of [[Evolution|evolving]], [[breed]]ing, or being [[transfer]]red to later games. If used in a link battle involving games that predated them, they show up as regular forms of the Pokémon. They also both cannot be obtained as {{Shiny}}, though Shiny models do exist in the game code for them. They also appear as alternate costumes in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.
* As of [[Generation VIII]], two of Cosplay Pikachu's special moves, {{m|Draining Kiss}} and {{m|Electric Terrain}}, are able to be learned by any Pikachu via [[TM]].
* Despite no longer being present in the game data of the [[Generation VII]] games, a poster featuring Pikachu Pop Star can be seen on the wall in {{pkmn2|Totem}} {{p|Mimikyu}}'s room in the {{OBP|Thrifty Megamart|Abandoned Site}}.
* In most official books, these costumes are stated to have come from [[Kanto]].
* Cosplay Pikachu's costumes are often not considered distinct forms of Pikachu:
** In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Cosplay Pikachu is registered as a single form, in its uncostumed appearance.
** In {{g|Bank}}, Cosplay Pikachu is not registered as a form at all.

'''Rocky Ridges''' (Japanese:'''ゴツゴツやまの街''' ''Rugged Mountain Town'') is one of two areas in {{g|Pokopia}} that can be unlocked after meeting {{p|Kyogre}} in [[Withered Wasteland]], the other being [[Bleak Beach]]. It is what remains of [[Pewter City]] after a series of catastrophic [[weather]] anomalies ravaged the {{pkmn|world}} and forced [[human]]s to take refuge in space.

{{poko|Ditto}} arrives in Rocky Ridges through the [[gate]] from Withered Wasteland, accompanied by [[Professor Tangrowth]].

Rocky Ridges is connected to the [[Sparkling Skylands]] to the east, and [[Withered Wasteland]] to the south-east through gates.

==Places of interest==
===Ridge Pokémon Center===
The Ridge [[Pokémon Center]] is initially a pile of rubble on a stone platform, having been torn down by extreme [[weather]]. It is eventually rebuilt by Ditto and a group of other Pokémon, after which a [[Human Records|note]] can be found on the floor inside, alongside a counter with a [[cash register]], a [[3D printer]], a healing machine, and some furniture.

===Kitchen===
[[Chef Dente]] is first met in a storage room connected to a kitchen, buried under the hill across from the Pokémon Center, after rescuing her from a hanging [[barrel]]. In order to save Chef Dente, {{poko|Ditto}} learns how to {{poko|Cooking|cook}} meals to power up its [[Transform (specialty)|moves]].

===DJ Rotom's room===
[[DJ Rotom]] is first met after Ditto investigates a stereo speaker system in a room buried in the hill directly east of the Pokémon Center. This room is an extension of a tunnel in the abandoned mines underneath Rocky Ridges, this section leading to the ruins of the [[Pewter Museum of Science]].

===Pewter Museum of Science===
The ruins of the Pewter Museum of Science can be found in the northern part of Rocky Ridges, either by {{m|Rock Smash|breaking}} through the walls blocking access through the mines, or by climbing over the {{i|ash}} covered hills. Ditto can meet {{p|Gimmighoul}} here, with the [[collect (specialty)|collect]] allowing Ditto to trade [[Rainbow Feather]]s, [[Silver Feather]]s, or [[Appraise (specialty)|appraised]] [[large lost relic]]s for other items.

==Demographics==
While there are no longer any [[human]]s living here, Rocky Ridges is inhabited by a handful of Pokémon before {{poko|Ditto}} starts making new [[Habitat Dex|habitats]].

Not counting Ditto and [[Professor Tangrowth]], Rocky Ridges is initially inhabited by two Pokémon:
* [[Chef Dente]]
* {{p|Gimmighoul}}

Additionally, some Pokémon appear without their habitat as Ditto completes requests:
* [[DJ Rotom]]

==Items==

An incredible plan. But the foundation members said<br>that in order to avoid panic they had to keep both<br>the disaster and the project out of the public eye as<br>much as possible.

Naturally this left them shorthanded.

Skilled computer technicians were in particularly<br>high demand.

That's why the foundation sought me out after I<br>discovered the disaster—recruitment.

I took them up on their offer.

Until this point, I had always lived as I pleased.<br>But if I could save Pokémon using my skills, I had<br>to do it.

The work was tough but also rewarding.

Eventually, the public began to take notice of the<br>disaster. The foundation gradually evacuated<br>those who noticed to a “safe place,” but to avoid<br>panic, they waited until the last minute to tell people<br>that their destination was space.

In the middle of this unbelievable situation, I found<br>a flaw in the plan."

It’s a plan to safely store all Pokémon on the planet<br>in a massive computer system while humanity takes<br>refuge in space.

I can’t be sure that such a thing is even possible,<br>and being parted from our Pokémon will be terribly<br>painful, but...<br>this may be the only way that people and Pokémon<br>will be able to live together again someday.

I was also asked to join a survey team after we move<br>to space, but I held off on responding.

After humanity relocates, a small group will be sent<br>back to the planet to survey the environment and do<br>maintenance on the conservation system. But given<br>my age, I don’t know if I'll still be spry enough to be<br>of much help. I think it’s a task best left to the young."

Charlotte’s an eager eater, but the one food she<br>doesn’t like is [[Chesto Berry|Chesto Berries]]. She made a rather<br>strained expression when I fed her some.

A chef shouldn’t be picky about things like that, but<br>I'd feel bad forcing her to eat something she doesn’t<br>like. What to do...

July 3

I made a special soup just for Charlotte using Chesto<br>Berries as a secret ingredient. She seemed to really<br>like it, and she appeared very satisfied as she finished<br>off the whole pot! I wonder how shocked she'd be if<br>she knew it had Chesto Berries. I look forward to the<br>day when she figures it out."

There's been a bunch of extreme weather or whatever<br>recently that’s killing off all the trees, but I FINALLY<br>found a tree that still had berries on it!

But as soon as I started shaking the tree to get the<br>berries off, some super serious-looking lady came<br>up and started yelling at me!

She was like, “Those are NOT for you! They're for<br>Pokémon! There are already FAR too few berries!”

Blah blah blah. She was so annoying! But something<br>else she said was actually kinda interesting...

Apparently she’s making an app or something to get<br>a bunch of people to work together and create a<br>comfortable environment for Pokémon to live in.

Basically, if you do good stuff for the environment...<br>the app will reward you with cool prizes!

In other words, she’s gonna bribe people to work for<br>her by promising ‘em cool stuff. Not a bad idea!

The '''Sparkling Skylands''' (Japanese:'''キラキラうきしまの街''' ''Floating Island Town'') is the final unlockable area in {{g|Pokopia}}, only unlockable after befriending {{p|Kyogre}} in [[Withered Wasteland]], {{p|Raikou}} in [[Bleak Beach]], and {{p|Volcanion}} in [[Rocky Ridges]]. It is what remains of [[Saffron City]] after a series of catastrophic [[weather]] anomalies ravaged the {{pkmn|world}} and forced [[human]]s to take refuge in space.

{{poko|Ditto}} arrives in the Sparkling Skylands through the [[gate]] from either Bleak Beach or Rocky Ridges, accompanied by [[Professor Tangrowth]].

The Sparkling Skylands is connected to Rocky Ridges to the west, Withered Wasteland to the east, and Bleak Beach to the south through gates. The gate to Withered Wasteland is blocked from the Sparkling Skylands' side, making it inaccessible from Withered Wasteland until this blockage has been removed.

==Places of interest==
===Skyland Pokémon Center===
The Skyland [[Pokémon Center]] is initially a pile of rubble on a stone tile platform, having been torn down by extreme [[weather]]. It is eventually rebuilt by Ditto and a group of other Pokémon, after which a [[Human Records|note]] can be found on the floor inside, alongside a counter with a [[cash register]], a [[3D printer]], a healing machine, and some furniture.

===Tinkmaster's tower===
[[Tinkmaster]] has built a tower of junk left behind by humans, with a room at the top. {{poko|Ditto}} meets Tinkmaster outside this room after Tinkmaster is sent flying out through the doors by an explosion inside.

===Big building===
The big building sitting on one of the islands is the ruins of the [[Silph Co.]] building. Tinkmaster will ask Ditto to help her rebuild this building.

===High-rise ruins===
To the east, just infront of the [[gate]] to [[Withered Wasteland]], is a neighborhood of ruined high-rise buildings. {{p|Gardevoir}} is also found here.

===Underground office===
An underground office appears in the Sparkling Skylands after [[List of Pokémon in Pokémon Pokopia|every available Pokémon]] have been registered in Ditto's [[Pokédex]]. Inside is a [[printer]] that lets Ditto print out a [[diploma]]. Unlocking this office also allows Ditto to learn the [[recipe (Pokopia)|recipe]]s for the [[shutter]], [[card reader]], and printer.

==Demographics==
While there are no longer any [[human]]s living here, the Sparkling Skylands is inhabited by a handful of Pokémon before {{poko|Ditto}} starts making new [[Habitat Dex|habitats]].

Not counting Ditto and [[Professor Tangrowth]], the Sparkling Skylands is initially inhabited by six Pokémon:
* {{p|Rookidee}}
* {{p|Dragonite}}
* [[Tinkmaster]]
* {{p|Gardevoir}}
* {{p|Poliwrath}}
* {{p|Gyarados}}


==Items==

{{incomplete|section|needs remaining items}}

===Nature===
These items can be found growing in the Sparkling Skylands.

| "In order to escape the disaster, humanity would<br>temporarily take refuge in space while Pokémon<br>would be safely stored in a computer system.<br>This was the general overview of the plan.

But no computer system will keep running forever.

The foundation planned to send a select few<br>members back to the planet at regular intervals to<br>perform ongoing maintenance.

But for humanity to survive in space for any length of<br>time, it would take a tremendous amount of energy.<br>I calculated that even a slight deviation from the<br>original plan would result in insufficient energy to<br>return, leaving humankind stranded in space for<br>dozens, or even hundreds, of years.

If that happened, the essential system protecting the<br>Pokémon would eventually cease to function.

So I decided to add a little touch of my own to the<br>system’s programming.

First, it will continuously check the weather data<br>across the globe in search of environments that can<br>prove even slightly habitable to Pokémon.

Next, if maintenance is not performed for a long<br>period of time and the system begins to approach<br>its limits, it will release the Pokémon most suited<br>to those environments.

Of course, ideally humans will return someday and<br>live alongside Pokémon once more.

But on the off chance humanity never returns from<br>space...I think releasing the Pokémon into a wild<br>world rather than leaving them asleep in a computer<br>would be a happier outcome.

It may sound strange coming from the program’s<br>creator, but I hope it never has to run."

| "The day of departure finally arrived, and {{p|Tangela}} was<br>still nowhere to be found.

So I decided to join the survey team after all.

It will give me the opportunity to return to the planet<br>periodically, and I can search when I’m there.

If there are any strange machines or rare tools on the<br>ship, I should borrow them.

Then I'll find Tangela and show them to him.

I'm certain he’lI examine them with his usual curiosity.

Until then...please, be safe."

Of course I can’t spill all the beans...but I can spill<br>some of ‘em!

You've probably heard the rumors about having all<br>the humans evacuate into outer space. Well! Our boss<br>tells me that the rumors are true!

But apparently they don’t want Team R doing bad<br>stuff in outer space, so they’re gonna split us up...<br>and send us all to different areas! Not cool, people.<br>I can’t be the only one who thinks that’s not cool!

But our boss has us covered.

Turns out that warehouse is ACTUALLY Team R’s<br>secret weapon for getting us into outer space<br>together! I cried happy tears! Our boss rules!

How are we gonna get to outer space on our own,<br>you ask? Well...I can’t tell ya that! Haha!"

I did a little work on the rocke—uh, the warehouse—<br>to trick people walking by into wanting to help out<br>with my mission.

It was a LOT of work, but I just had to keep in mind<br>that I was working hard in the moment so I could take<br>it easy later! Not a bad way to do things, I think!

The engineers all looked kinda annoyed with me,<br>but they did lend me a hand.

I'm gonna go ahead and report to the boss what<br>I've accomplished. I bet he’ll be so proud!"

| "In a most unfortunate turn of events, [[Poké Life]] never<br>received a chance to be put to use.

The drastic deterioration of the global environment<br>continues, and the plan to evacuate all of humanity<br>into space has finally been put into action.

Efforts have begun to gather as many Pokémon as<br>possible from all over the world and send them into<br>the [[Pokémon Center]] system for safekeeping.

I was unable to make my dream a reality, but there is<br>at least one silver lining in all of this.

Even after we humans leave this planet, the Pokémon<br>Center system will remain active in order to keep all<br>of the Pokémon inside safe.

The system will also keep a record of environmental<br>data around each Pokémon Center. The framework<br>we developed for Poké Life will be used for this.

The recorded data will be analyzed by research teams<br>set to return from space at regular intervals.

They say this is how we will determine when it’s safe<br>for all of humanity to return to the planet together.

My time here is short. I must soon go to space myself.

My new dream will be of the day when humans and<br>Pokémon can once again live together on this planet."

'''Moon''' (Japanese: '''ムーン''' ''Moon'') is a [[Pokédex holder|main character]] in the manga series [[Pokémon Adventures]].

==Character==
[[File:Sun Moon Adventures.png|thumb|left|270px|Moon's love of Poison-types]]
Moon is a girl from the [[Sinnoh]] region. She does not enjoy [[Alola]]'s tropical air, stating that it doesn't suit her character. She isn't one to be fooled by others, easily seeing through {{adv|Sun}}'s deception and seeing through the lies of the {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}}s. Moon is a pharmacist and is proficient with making various types of medicine. Due to this occupation, Moon is very knowledgeable about various poisons, as certain kinds can be used to make medicine. In addition to the possible benefits of poison, Moon favors {{type|Poison}} Pokémon and finds them to be cute. Moon is also a skilled archer, which helps her get medicinal supplies by firing at the desired item with her bow and arrow.

Due to coming from a family of scholars, Moon prefers to use her intelligence to devise strategies in battle. As such, concepts she considers "unscientific", such as luck, tend to annoy her if they end up defeating her strategies. For her skills, she is given the title of '''"Mixer"''' ({{tt|調合る者|つくるもの}} ''Mixer'').

==History==
{{spoilers}}

===Background===
Moon was born to a family of scholars in the Sinnoh region. Ever since she was a small child, she studied various poisons and Poison-type Pokémon. At the age of six, she earned a doctorate for her studies, earning her the nickname (Japanese: '''ミス・ポイズン''' ''Miss Poison''). After causing various poison-related accidents, she chose to research ways to counter poisons, eventually becoming a pharmacist at age ten. Moon worked alongside [[Mr. Berlitz]]. Due to a mistake on her part, a {{p|Piplup}} became poisoned and could only be cured with materials that only exist in the [[Alola]] region. Although Mr. Berlitz was reluctant at first, he agreed to allow Moon to leave after [[Roseanne]] arrived with a {{TP|Moon|Rotom}} requested to be delivered to [[Professor Kukui]].

==={{MangaArc|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}===
[[File:Moon assistant Adventures.png|thumb|left|220px|Moon working as an assistant in Sinnoh]]
Moon debuted in ''[[PASM01|The Grand Entrance and Delivery Boy Sun]]'', where she encountered a boy named {{adv|Sun}} doing part-time work removing wild {{p|Pyukumuku}} from the [[Hau'oli City]] Beachfront. When the {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}}s that hired Sun came to check up on his work, they tried getting out of paying him by planting an extra Pyukumuku on the beach. When Moon pointed this out, the male Grunt had his {{p|Salandit}} attack her and then feign injury to force Sun to pay for its medical bills. Angered, Sun used his {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Meowth}}, [[Cent]], to defeat the Grunts and forced them to flee. Afterward, Sun apologized to Moon for causing her trouble and offered to help with her delivery to Professor Kukui.

In ''[[PASM02|The Delivery of Rotom and the Girl]]'', Moon and Sun were attacked by the [[Guardian deities|guardian deity]] of [[Melemele Island]], {{p|Tapu Koko}}. After a quick battle, Tapu Koko ran away and left behind a [[Sparkling Stone]], which Sun picked up. Later, Moon and Sun arrived at Professor Kukui's house on {{rt|1|Alola}}, where they found the man testing the moves of his {{p|Rowlet}} and {{p|Popplio}}. After a quick introduction, Moon delivered Rotom to Kukui, who wanted one due to it being capable of combining with Sun's [[Pokédex]]. When Rotom tried entering the Pokédex, it ran away in disgust because Sun's constant mishandling of the device left it dirty and smelling bad. After Sun retrieved Rotom, he told Moon about the festival being held in [[Iki Town]] the next day and suggested she go to it before going back home.

In ''[[PASM04|The Decision and the Tournament of Six]]'', Moon met [[Olivia]], one of the [[island kahuna]]s, and helped her pick the roster of a tournament being held at the Iki Town Festival. During the placement, Moon encountered [[Lillie]]. When a Pokémon Lillie called {{DL|Nebby|In the manga|Nebby}} escaped from her bag and ran off to [[Mahalo Trail]], she and Moon chased after it. They found Nebby under attack by a group of wild {{p|Spearow}}, but as Lillie was too scared to move, Moon had to step in and save it. When Moon got to Nebby, it used its powers to break the bridge they were standing on, causing both to fall into the water before Tapu Koko caught them and brought them to safety. After learning that Lillie was entered in the tournament by accident, Moon decided to take her place instead.

In ''[[PASM06|The Party Crasher and Guzma the Destroyer]]'', Moon faced [[Gladion]] in the second battle of the second round of the tournament. Moon tried to ask Gladion about a mysterious [[Ultra Wormhole]] that she saw at Mahalo Trail, but Gladion only agreed to answer if she beat him. During their battle, Moon proved to be an effective strategist and nearly defeated Gladion's {{p|Porygon}}, but it eventually managed to win through luck. The shock of losing to something she considered unscientific as luck shocked Moon to the point where she completely ignored the final battle of the tournament.

In ''[[PASM08|Going Ashore and Neighboring Akala Island]]'', Moon and Sun traveled with Kukui to [[Akala Island]]. After rescuing Kukui's Rowlet from the pair of Skull Grunts, he allowed Moon to keep it after seeing how attached they were. Sun was given the task of delivering special [[Mirage Berry|Mirage Berries]] to each of Alola's guardian deities. Afterward, Moon revealed that Rotom decided to stay with her after fusing with a spare Pokédex she received from Kukui to become the [[Rotom Pokédex]]. Later, Moon and Sun arrived at [[Heahea City]], where they met [[Kiawe]], [[Mallow]], and [[Lana]], the [[Trial Captain]]s of Akala Island. Kiawe tested Sun to see if he was worthy in taking part of the [[Island challenge]] and eventually accepted him after they had a short battle. Lana, still unsure, told the group to follow her to [[Brooklet Hill]].

[[File:Moon Adventures.png|thumb|left|120px|Moon's first outfit]]
In ''[[PASM09|True Identity and the Totem Pokémon of Brooklet Hill]]'', Moon and Mallow went to [[Lush Jungle]] to search for the Mirage Berry. Shortly after arriving, they found {{p|Tapu Lele}} battling a {{p|Xurkitree}} emerging from another wormhole. Moon sent Rotom to get information about the mysterious creature, but it ended up shutting down after Xurkitree blasted it with an electrical shock. Moon tried firing a Poké Ball-tipped arrow, but it failed to catch Xurkitree, who managed to escape. Tapu Lele left in anger while Moon collected its fallen scales. When Moon pointed out they didn't know Xurkitree's actual name, Mallow suggested giving it the code name "Lighting".

In ''[[PASM11|Homecoming and the Brilliant Professional Golfer]]'', Mallow had her and Moon's Pokémon communicate with the wild Pokémon in the area to help them find the Mirage Berry. After successfully finding what they came for, Mallow received a call from Kiawe, who had been attacked by someone. After informing Sun and Lana, the four regrouped at [[Konikoni City]] before heading to [[Memorial Hill]], where they found an injured Kiawe lying on the ground. A group of Skull Grunts appeared, claiming they were the ones who defeated Kiawe. Mallow and Lana stayed behind to battle the Grunts while Moon, Sun, and Kiawe went to the [[Ruins of Life]] to check up on Tapu Lele. Shortly after arriving, Kiawe told Sun about [[Z-Move]]s and helped him practice the pose for {{m|Inferno Overdrive}}, which he planned to have Sun use against Gladion, the person who defeated him. As Sun did not possess a [[Z-Ring]], Kiawe allowed Sun to borrow his own, but they were interrupted by Gladion, who had joined [[Team Skull]] as an Enforcer. Gladion managed to capture Tapu Lele, was still recovering from a battle it had with Xurkitree. Kiawe tried giving his Z-Ring to Sun, but it was destroyed by Gladion's {{TP|Gladion|Type: Null}}. When Gladion claimed Sun wouldn't have won even with the Z-Move, a voice appeared, pointing out that if he truly believed that, then he wouldn't have destroyed the Z-Ring. The voice is revealed to be [[Kahili]], who uses her Pokémon to distract Type: Null before delivering Sun his finished Z-Ring.

In ''[[PASM13|Unleashing the Incredible Z-Move]]'', Sun and {{adv|Dollar}} successfully executed Inferno Overdrive, which managed to crack Type: Null's mask. Gladion gave up on Tapu Lele, deciding it was too weak to fight the mysterious creatures appearing in Alola. As he left, Gladion revealed the Ultra Wormholes are the result of something trying to break free into their world. Afterward, Tapu Lele woke up and Sun delivered the Mirage Berry to it. As thanks for healing it, Tapu Lele challenged Moon, Sun, Kiawe, and Kahili to a battle to test their strength. Despite the combined effort of their Pokémon, Tapu Lele easily blocked their attacks. Sun, refusing to give up, managed to land a hit on Tapu Lele after Dollar [[Evolution|evolved]] into a {{p|Torracat}}. The attack didn't harm Tapu Lele, but it acknowledged their determination and flew off. Afterward, Moon tried to consult Rotom about what Gladion said when he left, but the only answer it could give was "{{adv|Necrozma}}."

In ''[[PASM14|Flash and Cosmog's Secret]]'', Moon faced {{p|Lurantis}}, the [[Totem Pokémon]] of Lush Jungle, and defeated it. Afterward, she and the others grouped together at Mallow's restaurant in Konikoni City to speak to Kukui's wife, [[Professor Burnet]], over a video phone. They speculated the Ultra Wormholes appearing in Alola may have been the result of Nebby's power. Kukui told Burnet to take Lillie and meet with him, Moon, and Sun at [[Ula'ula Island]], where Sun has to go to deliver the next Mirage Berry. Later that night, Burnet and Lillie traveled to Kukui's yacht via [[Mantine Surf]], but a wild {{p|Bruxish}} appeared and used its powers to give everyone headaches and cause them to pass out. Sun and Lillie ended up separated from the others while Moon, Kukui, and Burnet were rescued by the [[Aether Foundation]] and taken to their base of operations, [[Aether Paradise]]. There, they met [[Faba]] and [[Wicke]], who explained what happened to everyone and gave them a tour of the location.

After finishing their stay, in ''[[PASM18|Confusion and Monsters from Another World]]'', Moon, Kukui, and Burnet traveled to Ula'ula. Moon traveled to [[Po Town]], where she found the place under siege by a group of mysterious creatures, now known as [[Ultra Beast]]s. Gladion revealed the Aether Foundation's president, [[Lusamine]], gave a second Cosmog to Guzma to fuel her desire to create a paradise filled with nothing but Ultra Beasts and herself. Guzma denied the accusation that he was being used, only for a {{p|Nihilego}} to grab him and drag him towards an Ultra Wormhole. Moon attempted to rescue Guzma, but was stopped by Xurkitree. Sun managed to free Moon with his team, but ended up swatted away by Xurkitree, causing him to crash-land onto a car. The other beasts broke out of Po Town's barrier, allowing them to wreak havoc on the rest of Ula'ula. The Captains headed off to evacuate any innocents caught in the beasts' attacks while Moon stayed behind to heal Sun's injuries. When Moon pointed out that Sun reacted strangely when Gladion mentioned the Aether Foundation, Sun revealed the reason he had been collecting money was to buy back the island the Aether Foundation stole from his [[Sun's great-grandfather|great-grandfather]]. Before he could explain any further, Moon and Sun were approached by [[Anabel]] and {{adv|Looker}} of the [[International Police]].

[[File:Moon bow Adventures.png|thumb|rightt|200px|Moon using her bow]]
In ''[[PASM20|An Urgent Task and the Capture of an Ultra Beast]]'', Anabel questioned the children about what they knew of the Ultra Beasts, but Sun was wary of the International Police, as he found their desire to protect and take in Pokémon used in crimes too similar to the goals of the Aether Foundation. After receiving a bribe from Anabel, Sun allowed Moon to give the officer information about the beasts that appeared in Alola. After having Looker sent off to investigate, Anabel told Sun and Moon about the beasts' species names as well as their codenames. The group was then attacked by {{p|Blacephalon}}, another beast that emerged from a wormhole. Sun and Anabel managed to stun Blacephalon long enough for Anabel to attempt a capture. The {{i|Poké Ball}} did not work on Blacephalon, revealing they only work properly on regular Pokémon. Blacephalon retaliated by using {{m|Mind Blown}} on the group, but was blown away by Tapu Bulu's {{m|Whirlwind}}. After Kukui and Burnet arrived with the Mirage Berry, Sun was reluctant to give it up, as he believed the guardian deities had no reason to help humans, because they were the ones responsible for causing the danger in Alola to begin with. Moon disagreed with this statement and argued that if humans were the cause for the danger, then they should take responsibility by helping fix it as well. Moon and Sun then gave the Mirage Berry to Tapu Bulu, who readily accepted it.

In ''[[PASM21|Thieving and Boss Crabominable]]'', Moon, Sun, and Anabel traveled to [[Poni Island]]. While Sun went off to find information on where to find {{p|Tapu Fini}}, Moon and Anabel arrived at [[Seafolk Village]], which had been evacuated due to the Ultra Beasts' attacks. Worried that some injured people may still be there, Anabel requested that Moon help heal any hurt civilians. As they walked through [[Poni Wilds]], Moon asked Anabel how she knew the names of the Ultra Beasts. Anabel then revealed that she knew because she is a Faller, a human who had passed through an Ultra Wormhole.

In ''[[PASM23|Battle in Vast Poni Canyon]]'', Moon and Anabel traveled to [[Vast Poni Canyon]], where they witnessed Faba battling [[Plumeria]]. Worried that his plans could be jeopardized, Faba had his {{tc|Aether Foundation Employee}}s battle Moon and Anabel, hoping the distraction would give him the chance to escape. Faba fled to the [[Poni Altar]] while Moon, Anabel, and Plumeria followed him. Later, Tapu Koko appeared and placed Moon on the Altar with Sun, where they played the [[Sun Flute|Sun]] and [[Moon Flute]]s together, causing the Altar to react.

In ''[[PASM25|Summon the Emissaries of the Moon and the Sun]]'', the Poni Altar released a bright light that allowed Nebby and another {{p|Cosmoem}} to evolve into {{p|Lunala}} and {{adv|Solgaleo}}, respectively. After explaining what the two [[Legendary Pokémon]] were, Anabel received a call from Looker, who reported that a large number of Ultra Beasts emerged from Po Town and have made their way to Poni Island. While the others fought the beasts, Sun confronted Faba, demanding that the Aether Foundation return his great-grandfather's island. Faba revealed to Sun that the island had already been converted into Aether Paradise, and money he suggested Sun gather wouldn't nearly be enough to return the island back to its previous state. A giant Ultra Wormhole with a {{p|Necrozma}}'s hand emerging from it opened in front of everyone. The hand possessed Solgaleo's body, forcing it to grab Sun and jump into the wormhole with it while Moon and Lunala followed after.

At some point, Sun and Moon ended up separated from Lunala and ended up trapped in the [[Ultra Deep Sea]] for six months. In ''[[PASM26|Adventure in the Dark Dimension]]'', Lunala reappeared, only for Moon and Sun to find it being [[Ultra Warp Ride|ridden]] by [[Dulse]] and [[Zossie]] of the [[Ultra Recon Squad]]. After overhearing that Dulse had met with the Aether Foundation to create Poké Balls capable of capturing the Ultra Beasts, Sun confronted the strangers, demanding to know what their connection with the Aether Foundation was. After Dulse and Zossie explained themselves, Moon asked the two if they could take her and Sun back to Alola. Though Dulse refused, Lunala returned to Moon and Sun, leaving him no choice but to stay behind while Moon, Sun, and Zossie rode on Lunala's back to Alola. As they traversed through [[Ultra Space]], Zossie taught Sun how to use Ultra Warp Ride and told him and Moon about the various worlds the Ultra Beasts come from. After passing through an Ultra Wormhole, the three arrived at the Ultra Recon Squad's home world, the [[Ultra Megalopolis]].

In ''[[PASM28|Arrival at the Scientific Megalopolis]]'', the Ultra Beast {{p|Stakataka}} appeared in hopes of fighting the weakened Necrozma. Zossie took Moon and Sun to the [[Megalo Tower]], where they met [[Soliera]], another Ultra Recon Squad member. Soliera lured Stakataka to the tower as she wanted to test the bonds between people and Pokémon in order to find a way to return light to the Ultra Megalopolis. By disguising itself as a building, Stakataka hid itself from view, allowing it to easily capture Sun. Moon and Lunala fought to rescue Sun, but were unable to use their full strength without risking Sun's safety. After noticing Stakataka's many eyes, Sun had Moon shoot the Zygarde Cube with an arrow, releasing {{adv|Zygarde}} Cells everywhere. The Cells stuck to Stakataka, blinding it and preventing it from dodging Lunala's next attack. The battle alerted Necrozma, who released Solgaleo and leapt from the Megalo Tower to try and absorb Lunala as well. Lunala tried fighting back, but was overpowered. Moon and Sun sent out their Pokémon to help, but were stopped by Lusamine. Angered by her presence, Sun claimed that Lusamine was responsible for taking away his great-grandfather's island. Offended, Lusamine sent out a Nihilego and commanded it to become one with her.

In ''[[PASM30|Madness!! Mother Lusamine!]]'', Necrozma fully absorbed Lunala to become its Dawn Wings form, it battled Lusamine and her team, who aimed to capture it. With one of the [[Beast Ball]]s that Lusamine dropped, Sun captured Stakataka and used it to battle Lusamine, who retaliated by sending out the rest of her Ultra Beasts to attack. At Soliera's suggestion, Moon attempted to stop Lusamine by capturing Nihilego with a Beast Ball, but the risk of Lusamine suffering negative side effects from a forced separation prevented her from firing the arrow. When Necrozma fled to the Megalo Tower, Lusamine and her Ultra Beasts chased it while Moon, Sun, and the Ultra Recon Squad members followed them. At the top, Moon attempted to capture Nihilego again, but was blinded by a bright light emanating from a wormhole Necrozma created. The wormhole sucked everyone into it and dropped them off in the skies above [[Mount Lanakila]]. After landing safely in a field of snow, an unconscious Moon was found by [[Ryuki]] and carried off to somewhere else. Later, she found herself trapped in a cage at Aether Paradise by Faba and Plumeria, who had dressed herself in Moon's previous outfit.

Faba revealed that he had researched Moon's past in order to learn more about her. He also showed that Sun reunited with Lillie and they managed to safely separate Lusamine from Nihilego, but were forced to protect her while they battled Necrozma. After being freed by Gladion, they attempted to confront Faba, but were forced to battle [[Ryuki]] after he was tricked into attacking them. As her own Pokémon were hidden away by Faba, Gladion allowed Moon to use his Silvally while he stayed behind to face Ryuki. Moon fled to Secret Lab B and reunited with her Pokémon, only to be interrupted by a group of Aether Foundation Employees. Moon had her team fight off the Employees while she made medicine for Gladion and his Pokémon, leading to {{p|Dartrix}} evolving into {{p|Decidueye}}. Once the medicine was complete, Moon prepared to leave and meet with Gladion again, only to be approached by Lunala.

Moon and Lunala traveled back to Mount Lanakila, where they regrouped with Anabel and Looker. Anabel revealed she was in possession of a Beast Ball and she intended to use it on Necrozma once Sun managed to weaken it enough. By combining Lunala, Solgaleo, and Zygarde's attacks, Moon and Sun managed to down Necrozma, but it mustered enough strength to destroy Anabel's Beast Ball. Sun revealed he picked up the Beast Ball Moon tried using on Lusamine earlier. The last Beast Ball was given to Zossie, who captured Necrozma in the hopes that the Ultra Recon Squad could potentially heal its injured state.

Several months later, Moon had returned to Sinnoh, but eventually decided to move to Alola permanently. On a video phone, she spoke to Kukui, who told Moon about the changes to the people of Alola that had happened while she was away. After hanging up, Moon was called by her sister, who told her that they needed to start preparing for the move.

==={{MangaArc|Sword & Shield}}===
In ''[[PASS30|Oh My!! The Disappearance of Henry]]'', [[Oleana]] mentioned Moon to {{Casey}} and [[Marvin]] when discussing {{p|Eternatus}}'s poison, believing she might know something about how to negate its effects. She was later called in ''[[PASS31|Flutter!! Tickets to a New Land]]'' by [[Klara]] and explained how to make an antidote to cure {{Henry}}.

==={{MangaArc|Scarlet & Violet}}===
In this chapter, it was revealed that Moon developed an [[Antidote]] for use on humans who had been poisoned by Pokémon. [[Atticus]] used it to heal {{Scarlet}} after their battle.

'''Ditto''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メタモン''' ''Metamon'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

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

Ditto is well known for its unique ability to [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] with any Pokémon other than the Pokémon in the {{egg|No Eggs Discovered}} group and other Ditto, including some [[Gender unknown|gender-unknown]] Pokémon, to produce Eggs of the other's species.

{{OBP|Ditto|Pokopia}} is the main protagonist of [[Pokémon Pokopia]], spending most of the game in [[human]] form.

==Biology==
In its natural state, Ditto is a light-purple or pink blob-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with {{wp|Vestigiality|vestigial}} facial features. It is often referred to as amorphous, but has a relatively consistent appearance in official artwork, including two small nubs on its "head", a few soft lumps at its base, and two {{wp|Pseudopodia|pseudopod}}-like protrusions in place of arms. The face consists of beady eyes and a simple mouth; almost always pulled into a smile.

Ditto bears a variety of unusual and often entirely unique traits that set it apart from every other Pokémon. It is capable of [[Ditto transformations|transforming]] into an exact replica of any physical object or living creature, including its form and properties. Each Ditto has its own strengths and weaknesses when it comes to transforming; being unable to remain transformed while laughing and getting details of its transformation wrong if based on memory being apparently universal. The [[Bandai Pokémon Carddass Cards]] depict Ditto being able to transform separate sections of its body into parts from multiple Pokémon at once. Similarly, in [[Pokémon Pokopia]], Ditto can transform parts of its body even while transformed as a [[human]], such as transforming its arms into {{p|Bulbasaur}}'s vines to use {{m|Leafage}}. In the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episodes ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]'' and ''[[SM046|Deceiving Appearances!]]'', as well as in the [[Ditto (TCG)|TCG]] and some {{spin-off games}}, it is shown that occasionally Ditto cannot change its face during transformation; this trait has become synonymous with the species, despite being incongruous with their depiction in the [[core series]] games. While its transformation ability allows it to get along with almost anything, it does not get along with its own kind, which it will quickly (and generally fruitlessly) attempt to transform into.

While Ditto can transform into a [[human]], it cannot mimic human speech. It transforms into a rock when sleeping to avoid being attacked. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Ditto is known to sleep while still transformed into either a rock or Pokémon, the latter is noted to be a very rare occasion.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> In [[Blueberry Academy]], various [[Blueberry Quest|Ditto Blocks]]<ref name=DittoBlock>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/_images/news/dec_23/p10_03_en.jpg Screenshot from the SV website showing a quest with a Ditto Block.]</ref> can be found as objectives in [[Blueberry Quest]]s throughout the [[Terarium]], where Ditto will seemingly transform into one of the many cubes with rounded edges that make up many of the structures of the Terarium. Despite being milestones for the player to obtain, and not actually obtainable themselves, they can still be {{Shiny}}.<ref name=ShinyDittoBlock>[https://twitter.com/jflash727/status/1735463386895270079 A player finding a Shiny Ditto block in the Terarium.]</ref>

Ditto is never far from {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|civilization or people}}, and is the only Pokémon capable of using the [[Metal Powder]] and [[Quick Powder]] items. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Imposter}} as an [[Ability]].

Ditto first became available in {{g|GO}} on November 23, 2016, disguised as other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the {{pkmn2|wild}}. Players will only find out whether a Pokémon is a Ditto if successfully [[caught Pokémon|captured]], upon which a cutscene will show the Pokémon transforming back into Ditto.<ref>[https://pokemongolive.com/en/post/ditto/ Ditto has been discovered... - Pokémon GO]</ref> Ditto can be used in {{OBP|Gym|GO}} and {{OBP|Raid Battle|GO}}s, in which it will Transform into the first Pokémon it sees; however Ditto cannot be used in {{OBP|Trainer Battle|GO}}s.

As of September 1, 2021, wild Ditto may be Shiny, and some Pokémon whose [[Shiny Pokémon (GO)|Shiny forms]] are available may transform into Ditto. If a player encounters a Shiny Pokémon in the wild, it cannot be a disguised Ditto, but non-Shiny Pokémon have a small chance of being a Shiny Ditto.<ref>[https://pokemongohub.net/post/guide/how-does-shiny-ditto-work-in-pokemon-go/ How Does Shiny Ditto Work in Pokémon GO? | Pokémon GO Hub]</ref>

As of December 11, 2023, wild Ditto may be disguised as any of the following species:<ref>(December 1, 2023). [https://pokemongolive.com/post/adamant-time-kanto-event/ Catch up in time for the Adamant Time event, and party up in a Kanto comeback!]</ref>

== In animation==
[[File:Ditto anime.png|250px|thumb|{{Shiny}} and normal-colored Ditto in {{aniseries|DP}}]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Duplica's Ditto]]====
[[Duplica]] has a Ditto that debuted in ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]'', where they used to perform for people, only to lack an audience since people saw that Ditto could not change its face. Ditto fixed that problem near the end of the episode, when it was captured by {{TRT}}.

====Other====
In ''[[EP111|Hello Pummelo]]'', {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}} used a Ditto in a [[Full Battle]] against {{Ash}} at the [[Pummelo Stadium]]. It faced [[Ash's Pikachu]], but ended up losing after Pikachu used {{m|Agility}} and then slammed its tail down on Ditto.

Sometime before ''[[EP174|Imitation Confrontation]]'', Duplica found another Ditto, which she [[nickname]]d Mini-Dit. This second Ditto could transform into an exact mirror image of anything, but it could not change its size.

In ''[[AG083|Unfair Weather Friends]]'', a Ditto was [[Brodie]]'s partner-in-crime. It reappeared in the same role in ''[[AG119|The Ribbon Cup Caper]]''.

A Ditto appeared in [[PK15]].

In ''[[DP173|Dealing With A Fierce Double Ditto Drama!]]'', [[Narissa]] used two Ditto nicknamed Ditto 1 and Ditto 2. Ditto 2 is {{DL|List of alternately colored Pokémon in animation|Ditto 2|Shiny}}.

In ''[[SM046|Deceiving Appearances!]]'', five Ditto were getting vaccinated at [[Aether Paradise]]. One of them escaped but was soon rescued. One of them reappeared in a flashback in ''[[SM047|A Masked Warning!]]''. All of them reappeared in ''[[SM096|Don't Ignore the Small Stufful!]]''.

In ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', [[Margo]] befriended a Ditto. It and a {{p|Teddiursa}} were targeted by [[Pokémon hunter]]s looking for {{OBP|Zeraora|M21}}, but they were saved by Zeraora, {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}}, and his friends.

In ''[[JN019|A Talent for Imitation!]]'', a Ditto works as a film actor because {{m|Transform}} is unusually efficient for impersonations. Its latest role was in a movie directed by [[Kublock]], about {{p|Gardevoir}} twins, but it ran away due to Kublock's overly strict attitude and its increasing inability to use Transform as effectively. Ditto eventually ran into and befriended Team Rocket, who taught it how to overcome its nerves and regain its confidence. As a result, it returned to the set and production resumed without any further problems.

===Minor appearances===
In ''[[EP122|Flower Power]]'', a Ditto was part of [[Florando]]'s annual [[Pokémon Exhibition]].

In a flashback in ''[[EP129|Ignorance is Blissey]]'', a Ditto was at the [[Pokémon Nurse School]].

In ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]'', the [[Pokémon Trainers' School]] lent a Ditto to the school's underage students for use in lessons.

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

A Ditto appeared in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]''.

A {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Ditto appeared in ''[[XY138|The First Day of the Rest of Your Life!]]''.

A Trainer's Ditto appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]''.

In ''[[SM131|The Battlefield of Truth and Love!]]'', a Trainer's Ditto watched the {{pkmn|battle}}s of the [[Manalo Conference]]. It reappeared in ''[[SM133|Battling on the Wing!]]''.

In ''[[JN001|Enter Pikachu!]]'', {{an|Mew}} transformed into a Ditto during a fantasy while {{an|Professor Oak}} was teaching [[Goh]] and [[Chloe]].

In ''[[JN050|A Pinch of This, a Pinch of That!]]'', two Ditto were in the [[Wild Area]].

A Trainer's Ditto appeared in ''[[JN125|Whittle While You Work!]]''.

A Ditto appeared in ''[[JN136|This Could be the Start of Something Big!]]''.

A {{tc|Student}}'s Ditto appeared in ''[[HZ101|Terastallization vs. Mega Evolution!]]''.

In [[HZ118]], Liko and Ann found a {{Shiny}} Ditto, amongst multiple other Ditto that were transformed into Ditto Blocks.

==In the manga==
[[File:Duplica Ditto EToP.png|thumb|200px|Ditto in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]
===The Electric Tale of Pikachu ===
{{main|Duplica's Ditto}}
[[Duplica]] and her Ditto appeared in ''[[ET07|Pikachu's Excellent Adventure]]''. Finding Ditto appealing, {{an|Misty}} decided to capture one of her own, but the plan was called off when {{AP|Pikachu|Pikachu (EToP)}} went missing.

Ditto was also featured in a minicomic, in which it transformed into [[Ash Ketchum (EToP)|Ash]], harassed Misty, and thereby got Ash into a lot of pain.

Ditto was the first Pokémon {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}} used against Ash in ''[[ET17|The Orange Crew Supreme Gym Leader]]''.

===Magical Pokémon Journey===
{{main|Master Ditto}}
In [[Magical Pokémon Journey]], there is a ninja master named Master Ditto who appears several times in the manga. His first appearance is in ''[[PPP13|The Wal Comes Tumbling Down]]''.

===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
{{main|Ditty}}
In ''[[PS016|Tauros the Tyrant]]'', Ditto is one of the members on {{adv|Green}}'s team. As a master of transformation, Green uses Ditto extensively in her schemes, such as morphing over her face to disguise her appearance (like when she infiltrated the [[Silph Co.]] building disguised as [[Sabrina]]), camouflaging into its background for subterfuge, as well as forming a protective shield with Green's umbrella.

===={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}====
A {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Ditto appeared in ''[[PS107|Gligar Glide]]'', where it was seen in the [[Goldenrod Game Corner]].

Ditto is seen later used by [[Team Rocket]] in ''[[PS127|Miltank Melee]]'', to lure {{adv|Crystal}} and [[Eusine]] away from {{p|Suicune}} and smother them when discovered. It was, however, defeated by Crystal's {{p|Hitmonchan}}, [[Monlee]].

===={{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}} ====

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
[[File:Ditto Melee.png|thumb|Ditto in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]]]
Ditto was originally intended to be one of the Pokémon randomly released from a {{i|Poké Ball}}. It would have transformed into a copy of the user's character and aided them in battle. However, it was removed for unknown reasons before the game's release. Ditto can still be unlocked through the debug menu (which is only accessible through the use of Action Replay), though it does not do anything other than deal 7-8% damage to those who touch it.

As for its official status, Ditto only appears as a random trophy and as a cameo in the Tournament Mode menu. In Winner Out or Loser Out tournaments, holding down L and R and pressing A will give the player a random character and color for each match. The usual character image will instead be a picture of Ditto.

====Trophy information ====
''Every Ditto has the ability to copy a Pokémon's entire cell structure in an instant and become its exact replica. They're terrible at remembering techniques, but when they use {{m|Transform}}, they temporarily learn all of their foe's moves. If a Ditto starts to laugh, it weakens and can't hold its transformation.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
[[File:SSB Ditto.png|thumb|250px|Ditto in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]]]
Ditto appears as a Pokémon summoned from the {{i|Poké Ball}}, where it uses {{m|Transform}} to duplicate the shape of the summoning character while still maintaining its own color. It then attacks opposing fighters. Ditto also appears as a {{sbw|Spirit}}. The corresponding Spirit Battle is set on {{OBP|Pokémon Stadium|stage}} against a {{sbw|Kirby}} who favors Inhale, referencing Ditto's Transform. The aforementioned Poké Ball summon is the only item that spawns.

==Trivia ==
[[File:Spr 2d 188.png|thumb|Sprite of Animon from the 1997 demo]]
*Ditto has a scrapped Evolution in the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo|1997 Nintendo Space World demo]] of Pokémon Gold and Silver named アニモン ''Animon'', which evolves from Ditto using a [[Metal Coat]].
*Ditto is the only Pokémon to date with a [[catch rate]] of 35. However, in Generations [[Generation III|III]] and [[Generation IV|IV]], if Ditto {{m|transform}}s into another Pokémon, its catch rate will become that of the new Pokémon. In [[Generation IX]], its catch rate will become 0 by mistake if the Pokémon is not the primary [[form]], [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender]] (for Pokémon with differing stats or movesets), or [[regional form]].
* Ditto and {{p|Manaphy}} are the only Pokémon that are both able to breed yet unobtainable through breeding.
* In [[Pokémon Snap]], Ditto takes the form of {{p|Bulbasaur}} in the {{OBP|Cave|Snap}} stage. The {{player}} can cause them to return to their Ditto form by hitting them with an object. When the player takes their picture, Ditto has the same eyes when it is transformed as when it is not. This trait is shared by [[Duplica]]'s Ditto in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]'', although it was understood that this was not natural. {{TCG|Ditto|Ditto cards}} from the {{TCG|EX Delta Species}} {{Trading Card Game}} expansion, the Clefairy Ditto that may appear in the [[Veilstone Game Corner]]'s slot machines, and [[Howard Clifford]]'s Ditto in {{DetPikMov}} also have this trait.
*Ditto is one of two Pokémon to have two different species-specific [[Stat-enhancing item]]s associated with it, the other being {{p|Clamperl}}. Ditto's two associated items, the Metal Powder and Quick Powder, seem to be the same colors as Ditto's normal and {{Shiny}} forms, respectively.
*In [[Pokémon Rumble]], since {{m|Transform}} was not programmed into the game, Ditto can only know {{m|Struggle}}. Since PP does not exist in Rumble, this makes Ditto the only Pokémon in Rumble that can use Struggle. However, Transform does exist in [[Pokémon Rumble Blast]], so Ditto has a move from that game onward.
*Ditto is the most common Pokémon in [[Pokémon Trozei!]], appearing in every area. This is due to its ability to transform, enabling the player a way to advance further if no links are available before Ditto appears.
*Prior to [[Generation VI]], Ditto and {{p|Poliwag}} had the same [[cry]].
*Since Transform copies its target's stats (except HP), Ditto cannot utilize its Special Attack stat before Transforming, though it can use its Attack stat for {{m|Struggle}} and {{status|confusion}} damage.
* Since Ditto's only move, Transform, cannot copy moves in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series and has only one PP, its only move after transforming is Struggle.
**However, in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Red/Blue Rescue Team]] and in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], a player-controlled Ditto can learn the TM moves {{m|Vacuum-Cut}} and {{m|Wide Slash}}.
**Since [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], Ditto is able to get the moveset of the target Pokémon when it transforms.
*In Generation VI, Ditto is only given one move animation (despite the two animations minimum most Pokémon have for contact and non-contact moves).
*On October 4, 2017, [[The Pokémon Company]] posted a Ditto-themed music video onto their YouTube channel titled [[Dit-to Ditto]].
*In [[Pokémon GO]], Ditto appears in the wild disguised as other Pokémon. After being caught, it will reveal its true form. At one point, a large amount of Ditto were seen disguised as the then-unrevealed [[Mythical Pokémon]], {{p|Meltan}}.
*In Pokémon GO, Ditto and {{p|Shedinja}} are the only Pokémon that cannot be used in [[Trainer Battle (GO)|Trainer Battles]], unless the battle is against [[Team GO Rocket]].
*Ditto is the only non-playable Pokémon that can be defeated in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]].
*In {{g|Shuffle}}, Ditto was originally coded as a wildcard prior to its official release, allowing it to match with any other Pokémon icon - its effect from {{g|Battle Trozei}}. This was not a {{OBP|skill|Shuffle}} effect (as its skill was {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Swarm}}), but rather a quality specific to Ditto itself. Some players obtained Ditto illegitimately during this time, and used its effect to gain high scores in [[competitive stage]]s from September 2015 until Ditto's official release in 2017, when the skill was changed to Shuffle's version of {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Transform}}.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonShuffle/comments/3lyk41/explaining_the_significance_of_ditto_spoilers/ "Explaining the significance of Ditto" - MikoUK - Reddit]</ref>
* Ditto is the only [[Generation I]] Pokémon that does not have evolutionary relatives, an alternate form (such as a [[regional variant]], [[Gigantamax]] form, or [[Mega Evolution]]), or a strong association with another Pokémon that it does not share an evolutionary line with (like the [[Mew duo]]).
*Ditto has the most [[sleep style]]s of any Pokémon, with a total of 11.

===Glitches===
====Index 000 post-capture====
In [[Generation I]], if the player manages to capture an [['M (00)]], it will still be in battle with the player, and the battle will not end. Catching 'M (00) again results in the second one becoming a Ditto of the same level.

====Transform glitches====
{{main|List of Transform glitches}}

===Origin ===
{{Bulbanews|Unused Pokémon design revealed in magazine interview}}
In the sixth issue of {{wp|Best Buy}}'s @Gamer magazine, Game Freak developers [[Junichi Masuda]] and [[Ken Sugimori]] revealed that Ditto was originally based on the iconic {{wp|smiley}} face. Its eyes and mouth are exactly like ":)", which is an emoticon representing the smiley.

Additionally, Ditto strongly resembles an ''{{wp|amoeba}}'', a single-celled organism with no definite shape. This may emphasize its ability to alter its cellular composition. This could also explain why Ditto is unavailable through breeding, since single-celled organisms reproduce differently from multi-cellular plants and animals. It also could partially be based on an {{wp|Cellular differentiation|undifferentiated cell}}, a cell in the body that can change into any other cell by sampling it. In addition, it could have been based on a {{wp|blob}} or {{wp|modeling clay}}.

Ditto's ability to change into other beings is reminiscent of a variety of mythical creatures like {{wp|changeling}}s, {{wp|doppelgänger}}s, or {{wp|skin-walker}}s.

====Name origin====
Ditto is literally ''ditto'' (that which was stated before; copy of a document; imitation).

Metamon may be a combination of ''metamorphose'' (to undergo a physical transformation) or ''meta-'' (prefix meaning "encompassing" or "transcending", which may refer to {{m|Transform}} allowing Ditto to take on the shape of every other Pokémon) and ''monster''.

'''Tangela''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''モンジャラ''' ''Monjara'') is a {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

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

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

==Biology==
[[File:Tangela178PokémonCard151.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Tangela swinging on a tree branch]]
Tangela is a {{wp|plant}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} covered by periwinkle blue, seaweed-like vines that obscure its face. There is a small opening in the vines that reveals its eyes surrounded by a black space. The vines give Tangela a round shape, but it is unknown what it looks like without them. Its vines are covered in fine hair and are always growing. If damaged or lost, replacements are {{a|Regenerator|quickly grown back}}. There is a pair of pink-red boot-like feet poking out from under the vines, but no visible arms.

Tangela can ensnare and entangle anything that moves too close to it with its vines. The vines constantly jiggle and sway, unnerving enemies and causing a tickling sensation if ensnared. Tangela's vines will snap off easily and painlessly if the target pulls on them, so it can quickly escape. The vines of Tangela are said to have a refreshing flavor and scent. In [[Galar]], its vines are used as herbs. Tangela has been sighted in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|temperate grasslands}} and swamps, and has been known to playfully swing on tree branches using its vines.

===Evolution===
Tangela evolves into {{p|Tangrowth}}.

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Tangela was originally known as "Meduza," a name derived from the Greek mythological character {{wp|Medusa}}.

===Origin===
Due to the mystery around Tangela's appearance under its {{wp|vine}}s, it may be based on the {{wp|List of swamp monsters|swamp monster}} from the short story "{{wp|It! (short story)|It!}}" by {{wp|Theodore Sturgeon}}. In addition, it may also be inspired by the Sargassum seaweed monsters written by the English writer {{wp|William Hope Hodgson}}, which inspired monsters in Japanese pop culture.

It may also be based on ''{{wp|Selaginella lepidophylla}}'', a plant that forms {{wp|tumbleweed}}s; and {{wp|Medusa}}, a {{wp|Gorgons|Gorgon}} of {{wp|Greek mythology}} (which is especially supported by the fact that Tangela's beta name was "Meduza"). In addition, it may be based on a {{wp|Green Man}}, a motif represented as a face surrounded by leaves and vines. All of these potential inspirations may have also influenced Tangela's {{Shiny}} variant's green coloration.

Its [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] state that its vines will be entangled with its surroundings. This may be a reference to {{wp|thigmotropism}}, a biological reaction plants have towards contact that encourages them to coil around objects they touch as they grow, allowing stability in their stems and branches.

====Name origin====
Tangela may be a combination of ''tangle'' and ''-ella'' (suffix used to form taxonomic names).

Monjara may be a combination of ''monster'', もじゃもじゃ ''mojamoja'' (shaggy or unkempt), and 毛むくじゃら ''kemukujara'' (densely covered in thick hair).

'''Tangela''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''モンジャラ''' ''Monjara'') is a {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

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

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

==Biology==
[[File:Tangela178PokémonCard151.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Tangela swinging on a tree branch]]
Tangela is a {{wp|plant}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} covered by periwinkle blue, seaweed-like vines that obscure its face. There is a small opening in the vines that reveals its eyes surrounded by a black space. The vines give Tangela a round shape, but it is unknown what it looks like without them. Its vines are covered in fine hair and are always growing. If damaged or lost, replacements are {{a|Regenerator|quickly grown back}}. There is a pair of pink-red boot-like feet poking out from under the vines, but no visible arms.

Tangela can ensnare and entangle anything that moves too close to it with its vines. The vines constantly jiggle and sway, unnerving enemies and causing a tickling sensation if ensnared. Tangela's vines will snap off easily and painlessly if the target pulls on them, so it can quickly escape. The vines of Tangela are said to have a refreshing flavor and scent. In [[Galar]], its vines are used as herbs. Tangela has been sighted in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|temperate grasslands}} and swamps, and has been known to playfully swing on tree branches using its vines.

===Evolution===
Tangela evolves into {{p|Tangrowth}}.

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

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Tangela was originally known as "Meduza," a name derived from the Greek mythological character {{wp|Medusa}}.

===Origin===
Due to the mystery around Tangela's appearance under its {{wp|vine}}s, it may be based on the {{wp|List of swamp monsters|swamp monster}} from the short story "{{wp|It! (short story)|It!}}" by {{wp|Theodore Sturgeon}}. In addition, it may also be inspired by the Sargassum seaweed monsters written by the English writer {{wp|William Hope Hodgson}}, which inspired monsters in Japanese pop culture.

It may also be based on ''{{wp|Selaginella lepidophylla}}'', a plant that forms {{wp|tumbleweed}}s; and {{wp|Medusa}}, a {{wp|Gorgons|Gorgon}} of {{wp|Greek mythology}} (which is especially supported by the fact that Tangela's beta name was "Meduza"). In addition, it may be based on a {{wp|Green Man}}, a motif represented as a face surrounded by leaves and vines. All of these potential inspirations may have also influenced Tangela's {{Shiny}} variant's green coloration.

Its [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] state that its vines will be entangled with its surroundings. This may be a reference to {{wp|thigmotropism}}, a biological reaction plants have towards contact that encourages them to coil around objects they touch as they grow, allowing stability in their stems and branches.

'''Ditto''' (Japanese: '''メタモン''' ''Metamon'') is the main protagonist of {{g|Pokopia}}. Taking the form of a [[human]], Ditto uses its abilities of {{m|Transform|transformation}} to imitate the [[move]]s of certain other Pokémon it meets, with the goal of creating a paradise.

==In the spin-off games==
===History===
====Background====
Prior to the disappearance of [[human]]s, it was the partner Pokémon of a [[Pokémon Trainer]] who traveled the [[Kanto]] [[region]] with it. One day, when practicing transformation, it surprised its Trainer by transforming into them.<ref>''"I tried getting it to transform into a Water type, but despite its best efforts, we had little success. I guess it's not so easy. After giving it a lot of encouragement, I was shocked when it suddenly transformed into ME! It copied every detail of my clothes, my haircut... Only its face still looked like Ditto."'' - Someone's journal #2</ref> This is the same form it takes in the present day.

====[[Pokémon Pokopia]]====
Ditto finds its {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s old [[Pokédex]], with a picture of its Trainer petting Ditto. Upon discovering the device, Ditto proceeds to copy the appearance of its Trainer, setting off on its own adventure. With the help of various Pokémon, Ditto is able to use {{m|Transform}} to replicate certain moves and collect materials such as [[lumber]] and {{OBP|stone|item}}s to create a paradise for it and the other Pokémon it meets.
[[File:Pokopia Ditto.png|thumb|right|200px|Ditto's true appearance]]

===Appearance===
Visually, Ditto appears identical to other members of its species. Unusual of its species, Ditto tends to maintain its humanlike form by instead making alterations to specific sections of its body that are necessary for imitation, such as transforming its arms into plant stems to use {{m|Leafage}}. However, it does take on the form of {{p|Lapras}}, {{p|Graveler}}, {{p|Dragonite}}, and {{p|Magnemite}} when imitating their respective moves.

===Personality and characteristics===
As a Pokémon, Ditto is capable of understanding the speech of other Pokémon; by listening to the wants and likes of the Pokémon on the island, Ditto uses its power of mimicry to create a habitat that best suits the nearby residents. From this, it appears to be a benevolent Pokémon dedicated to using its powers to restore the environment for the Pokémon which reside there. In its dialogue options, Ditto tends to mimic the speech patterns of the Pokémon it is speaking to.

While it appears to be a typical Ditto while untransformed, [[Professor Tangrowth]] frequently mentions that it has a "mysterious power" to bring Pokémon together. Unlike most Ditto, this Ditto seems more adept at maintaining human form and using human tools, such as kitchenware, and is clever enough to realize {{OBP|crafting|Pokopia}} recipes on its own. It was noted by its Trainer to be quite curious in nature, particularly about humans and their activities.<ref>''"The whole time the chef was cooking, Ditto was watching intently. It's always been so full of curiosity. I've noticed it seems particularly interested in the things humans do."'' - Someone's journal #3</ref> On the other hand, when {{m|Transform|transforming}} into other Pokémon, Ditto usually only transforms a part of its mimicked human body to use [[move]]s. When it does fully transform, it tends to appear more diminutive and cartoony compared to its target.

'''Ditto''' (Japanese: '''メタモン''' ''Metamon'') is the main protagonist of {{g|Pokopia}}. Taking the form of a human, Ditto uses its abilities of {{m|Transform|transformation}} to imitate the [[move]]s of the Pokémon residing in the area with the goal of creating a paradise.

==In the spin-off games==
[[File:Pokopia Ditto.png|thumb|right|200px|Ditto's true appearance]]
===Appearance===
Visually, Ditto appears identical to other members of its species. Unusual of its species, Ditto tends to maintain its humanlike form by instead making alterations to specific sections of its body that are necessary for imitation, such as transforming its arms into plant stems to use {{m|Leafage}}. However, it does take on the form of {{p|Lapras}}, {{p|Dragonite}}, {{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Graveler}} when imitating their respective moves.

===Personality and characteristics===
As a Pokémon, Ditto is capable of understanding the speech of other Pokémon; by listening to the wants and likes of the Pokémon on the island, Ditto uses its power of mimicry to create a habitat that best suits the nearby residents. From this, it appears to be a benevolent Pokémon dedicated to using its powers to restore the environment for the Pokémon which reside there. In its dialogue options, Ditto tends to mimic the speech patterns of the Pokémon it is speaking to.

While it appears to be a typical Ditto while untransformed, [[Professor Tangrowth]] frequently mentions that it has a "mysterious power" to bring Pokémon together. Unlike most Ditto, this Ditto seems more adept at maintaining human form and using human tools, such as kitchenware, and is clever enough to realize {{OBP|crafting|Pokopia}} recipes on its own. It was noted by its Trainer to be quite curious in nature, particularly about humans and their activities.<ref>''"The whole time the chef was cooking, Ditto was watching intently. It's always been so full of curiosity. I've noticed it seems particularly interested in the things humans do."'' - Someone's journal #3</ref> On the other hand, when {{m|Transform|transforming}} into other Pokémon, Ditto usually only transforms a part of its mimicked human body to use [[move]]s. When it does fully transform, it tends to appear more diminutive and cartoony compared to its target.

===History===
====Background====
Prior to the disappearance of [[human]]s, it was the partner Pokémon of a [[Pokémon Trainer]] who traveled the [[Kanto]] [[region]] with it. One day, when practicing transformation, it surprised its Trainer by transforming into them.<ref>''"I tried getting it to transform into a Water type, but despite its best efforts, we had little success. I guess it's not so easy. After giving it a lot of encouragement, I was shocked when it suddenly transformed into ME! It copied every detail of my clothes, my haircut... Only its face still looked like Ditto."'' - Someone's journal #2</ref> This is the same form it takes in the present day.

====[[Pokémon Pokopia]]====
Ditto finds a discarded [[Pokédex]], with a picture of a [[Pokémon Trainer]] alongside a Ditto. Upon discovering the strange device, Ditto proceeds to copy the form of the Trainer, setting off on its own adventure. With the help of the nearby Pokémon, Ditto is able to replicate the moves of many different Pokémon, collecting building material such as wood and rocks to create a paradise for it and the other Pokémon living in the area.

'''Roy's Lucario''' (Japanese: '''ロイのルカリオ''' ''Roy's Lucario''), also known as the (Japanese: '''黄色いルカリオ''' ''Yellow Lucario'') and '''Yellow Flash''' (Japanese: '''イエローブラスト''' ''Yellow Blast''), is the first Pokémon [[Roy]] caught in the [[Kalos|Kalos region]] and his third overall. It is a [[Shiny Pokémon]].

==History==
[[File:Lucario choosing Roy.png|thumb|250px|left|Lucario choosing to go with [[Roy]]]]
As revealed in ''[[HZ112|Mega Evolution - Roy]]'', {{p|Lucario}}, known as the "Yellow Flash" at the time, was considered to be the strongest Pokémon living at the [[Lost Mayo Maze]] in the [[Kalos]] [[region]], always looking out for opponents at its level. After the incident in [[Laqua]], [[Master Mayonnaise]] tasked [[Roy]] and [[Ult]] to find the palace and challenge the Yellow Flash as part of their [[Mega Evolution]] training. However, after making their way there, both of them were easily defeated by Lucario due to its speed. In the [[HZ113|next episode]], Lucario led Roy and Ult back to its lair, giving the two {{pkmn|Trainer}}s a chance for a [[rematch]].

In ''[[HZ114|Mega Evolution - Bonds]]'', Lucario battled both Roy and Ult once more. Although Ult Mega Evolved his {{p|Sableye}}, due to its inexperience with Mega Evolution, Lucario still managed to defeat it, with {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}} being the only one left to battle. Despite the odds, thanks to Roy's singing and predictions, Crocalor was able to avoid Lucario's attacks and counter its speed. Upon sensing Roy's [[aura]], Lucario was so motivated that it somehow Mega Evolved even though Roy had not {{pkmn2|caught}} it yet. Mega Lucario then attacked Crocalor with Flash Cannon, but it was ultimately defeated by Crocalor's {{m|Flamethrower}}. Inspired by both Roy and Crocalor's strength, Lucario begged Roy to let it join his team, after which Roy caught Lucario as his third Pokemon.
[[File:Roy and Lucario.png|thumb|250px|Lucario and Roy]]
Lucario debuted at the very end of ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', where it was seen alongside [[Roy]] and the rest of his [[Party|team]].

In ''[[HZ090|Eyes to the Skies Once Again (Part One)]]'', Lucario was used to battle against a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Slaking}} that was being influenced by [[Laquium]]. It immediately [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] alongside [[Ult]]'s {{p|Sableye}}, allowing them to weaken their opponent enough for [[Captain Pikachu]] to finish it off. In the [[HZ091|following episode]], Lucario went up against [[Ann]]'s {{p|Samurott}} and quickly won without Mega Evolving.

In ''[[HZ101|Terastallization vs. Mega Evolution!]]'', Lucario teamed up with Crocalor for a [[Double Battle]] against {{an|Nemona}}'s {{p|Pawmot}} and {{p|Ribombee}}. They initially struggled against their opponents, as their defined roles as attacker and support, respectively, allowed them to deal big damage and remain healthy through most of the battle. Once Roy managed to disrupt it, however, they were able to launch a strong counterattack. Soon, Lucario Mega Evolved while Pawmot {{Tera}}stallized, and the ensuing clash of {{t|Fighting}} [[type]]s ended up with Lucario's victory, thus making Roy win by default.
[[File:Roy Lucario Lucarionite.png|thumb|250px|left|Lucario's [[Lucarionite]]]]
In ''[[HZ107|Friends as Two, Me and You]]'', Lucario, alongside the rest of Roy's party and Ult's Sableye, battled against [[Indi]] and [[Rubina]]'s {{form|Darmanitan|Zen Mode}} {{p|Darmanitan}}. Due to the [[Explorers]] being assisted by an army of {{p|Rabsca}}, they managed to keep the upper hand for the majority of the battle. However, once Ult's {{p|Dragonite}} emerged, Mega Evolved, and defeated the Rabsca, Lucario was able to Mega Evolve before teaming up with Mega Dragonite to deal the finishing blow, defeating the two Darminitan.

In ''[[HZ110|The Six Heroes Unleashed!]]'', Lucario was used alongside the rest of Roy, [[Liko]], and Ult's Pokémon to battle against five of the [[Six Heroes]], who were under the influence of the Super [[Strong Sphere]]s. Together, they stalled for time to allow Pagogo to purify the Laquium away from the heroes' bodies, only for the Explorers to use the Super Strong Spheres on them a second time. In the [[HZ111|following episode]], after being Mega Evolved, Lucario teamed up with Ult's Mega Dragonite to take on {{TP|Lucius|Moltres}} and {{TP|Lucius|Lapras}}. They performed a combination tactic that temporarily stunned their opponents, but before they could follow up with an actual attack, Lucario and Dragonite were simultaneously taken out by {{TP|Lucius|Arboliva}}.

[[File:Lucarionite Z anime.png|thumb|250px|right|Lucario's [[Lucarionite Z]]]]
In [[HZ129]], Lucario was sent out as Roy's second Pokémon during his battle against the [[Black Rayquaza]], fighting it alongside Ult's Mega Dragonite in its own Mega-Evolved form. Lucario even defended Dragonite from Rayquaza's Draco Meteor to help its teammate last longer in the fight. Despite landing some strong hits, Lucario was ultimately defeated by a powerful combination of Rayquaza's {{m|Dragon Ascent}} and {{m|Dragon Pulse}}.

In [[HZ131]], Lucario received a [[Lucarionite Z]] from Master Mayonnaise and then proceeded to have a battle against his {{p|Hawlucha}}. Initially, they were in equal footing, though Hawlucha's showboating personality left it vulnerable to Lucario's attacks. Once Hawlucha Mega Evolved, however, its enhanced attack power and defenses overwhelmed Lucario, who didn't achieve the new Mega Evolution, seemingly out of sync with its Trainer, and fell to a {{m|Flying Press}}. After the battle was over, Master Mayonnaise pointed out that Lucario and Roy still needed to master their aura powers, and they all agreed to train together.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Roy and Lucario Aura.png|thumb|left|250px|Lucario and Roy connecting through [[Aura]]]]
This Lucario, distinct with its rare yellow [[Aura]]—a potential mark of its Shininess—forges a particularly strong bond with [[Roy]] through its sensitivity to Aura. More than just loyal, this Pokémon exhibits a remarkable battle readiness and has proven to be a formidable force, even capable of [[Mega Evolution]], making it a dependable asset in any challenge Roy faces. Lucario's ability to sense Aura has been helpful when predicting its opponents' next move, as seen in its battle against [[Ann]]'s {{p|Samurott}} in ''[[HZ091|Eyes to the Skies Once Again (Part Two)]]'' and the [[Laquium]]-afflicted {{p|Steelix}} in ''[[HZ092|Following Traces of Laquium]]''.
[[File:Lucario Skeledirge Kilowattrel.png|thumb|250px|Lucario, {{TP|Roy|Skeledirge}}, and {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}}]]
Lucario has a mostly stoic and serious personality, much like most of its {{p|Lucario|species}}. On occasion, it has shown to become exasperated by the antics of others, such as in ''[[HZ096|Crash! Team Dragon Rampage]]'', when Roy had to resort to it since [[Roy's Crocalor]] was too full to battle or when it saw [[Ult]] heading to the wrong direction. Due to it being caught after the disbandment of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]], it is not used to the eccentric antics of the younger members and their Pokémon and, as a result, tends to keep to itself in such moments, as seen in ''[[HZ093|Clash of the Nidothing Fans]]'', when it just stood by awkwardly as everyone added to Roy's song, seemingly confused and unsure of what to do. Despite this, Lucario is still capable of showing joy and affection, especially towards Roy and Skeledirge, and is perfectly capable of working alongside other Pokémon. Lucario, upon first being defeated by Roy's Crocalor in battle revealed a rarer and more adorable side of its personality, instantly begging Roy in order to join his team, showing keen admiration, excitement and respect towards stronger opponents.

Lucario seems to have an interesting relationship with Ult's {{p|Sableye}} as the two of them often battle and work well together, especially when they Mega Evolve, likely due to them training together in [[Kalos]] alongside their Trainers. Also, like their Trainers, they can be at odds with each other and Lucario would tease Sableye, but does share a fist bump with the Darkness Pokémon after working together to win a battle.

Despite always being ready to assist Roy in more serious situations, Lucario has also shown an eagerness for friendly battles as well, as shown in ''[[HZ091|Eyes to the Skies Once Again (Part Two)]]'' and ''[[HZ101|Terastallization vs. Mega Evolution!]]''. In ''[[HZ105|Riding the Waves]]'', Lucario is shown to be a good swimmer and enjoys other activities such as surfing with Roy. Lucario appears to dislike sweets, as shown in ''[[HZ098|Reunion in Cortondo]]'', where it was the only Pokémon not seen enjoying [[Katy]]'s confections.

'''Tangela''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''モンジャラ''' ''Monjara'') is a {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

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

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

==Biology==
[[File:Tangela178PokémonCard151.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Tangela swinging on a tree branch]]
Tangela is a {{wp|plant}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} covered by blue, seaweed-like vines that obscure its face. There is a small opening in the vines that reveals its eyes surrounded by a black space. The vines give Tangela a round shape, but it is unknown what it looks like without them. Its vines are covered in fine hair and are always growing. If damaged or lost, replacements are {{a|Regenerator|quickly grown back}}. There is a pair of red boot-like feet poking out from under the vines, but no visible arms.

Tangela can ensnare and entangle anything that moves too close to it with its vines. The vines constantly jiggle and sway, unnerving enemies and causing a tickling sensation if ensnared. Tangela's vines will snap off easily and painlessly if the target pulls on them, so it can quickly escape. The vines of Tangela are said to have a refreshing flavor and scent. In [[Galar]], its vines are used as herbs. Tangela has been sighted in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|temperate grasslands}} and swamps, and has been known to playfully swing on tree branches using its vines.

===Evolution===
Tangela evolves into {{p|Tangrowth}}.

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

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

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Tangela was originally known as "Meduza," a name derived from the Greek mythological character {{wp|Medusa}}.

===Origin===
Due to the mystery around Tangela's appearance under its {{wp|vine}}s, it may be based on the {{wp|List of swamp monsters|swamp monster}} from the short story "{{wp|It! (short story)|It!}}" by {{wp|Theodore Sturgeon}}. In addition, it may also be inspired by the Sargassum seaweed monsters written by the English writer {{wp|William Hope Hodgson}}, which inspired monsters in Japanese pop culture.

It may also be based on ''{{wp|Selaginella lepidophylla}}'', a plant that forms {{wp|tumbleweed}}s; and {{wp|Medusa}}, a {{wp|Gorgons|Gorgon}} of {{wp|Greek mythology}} (which is especially supported by the fact that Tangela's beta name was "Meduza"). In addition, it may be based on a {{wp|Green Man}}, a motif represented as a face surrounded by leaves and vines. All of these potential inspirations may have also influenced Tangela's {{Shiny}} variant's green coloration.

Its [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] state that its vines will be entangled with its surroundings. This may be a reference to {{wp|thigmotropism}}, a biological reaction plants have towards contact that encourages them to coil around objects they touch as they grow, allowing stability in their stems and branches.

====Name origin====
Tangela may be a combination of ''tangle'' and ''-ella'' (suffix used to form taxonomic names).

Monjara may be a combination of ''monster'', もじゃもじゃ ''mojamoja'' (shaggy or unkempt), and 毛むくじゃら ''kemukujara'' (densely covered in thick hair).

'''Professor Tangrowth''' (Japanese: '''モジャンボはかせ''' ''Dr. Mojumbo'') is a supporting character of {{g|Pokopia}}. He is a {{p|Tangrowth}} and the last remaining {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in [[Kanto]] before [[Ditto (Pokopia)|Ditto]] came along,<ref>[https://pokopia.pokemon.com/en-us/explore/ Explore | Pokémon Pokopia]</ref> and teaches Ditto the basics of life in town.<ref name=PokopiaTwitter>(November 13, 2025). [https://twitter.com/Pokemon/status/1989000303786512489 Tweet by Pokémon (@Pokemon).] ([https://archive.ph/iKCKe archive])</ref>

Evoking the appearance of a [[Pokémon Professor]], Professor Tangrowth has a unique appearance compared to regular Tangrowth, with white vines covering the top half of its body. It wears and uses [[human]] tools,<ref name=PokopiaTwitter/> namely a broken pair of glasses, a stick, and a [[TM]] on top of its head.

==History==
===Background===
When Professor Tangrowth was still a young {{P|Tangela}}, he was found injured and weak by a [[Pokémon Professor]], who healed him with a [[Potion]], causing the Pokémon to take a liking to them and follow them home. Now living with the professor, he started playing with their grandchild and even other [[Pokémon Trainer]]s who come to visit. During that time, he also became interested in [[human]] devices and activities, seeming intrigued by the professor working on a computer and looking enthralled by things such as [[Pokédex]]es and {{i|Poké Ball}}s. He would later demonstrate a strong understanding of the purpose and operation of most common human technology, ostensibly as a result of its observations.

While humanity is evacuated into space, all Pokémon, including Tangela, would be stored in a massive computer system as part of the "Pokémon Conservation Project". However, when the professor entrusted him to other project members to store him away, Tangela ran off, likely to try and get back home. The day of departure had arrived, but Tangela was nowhere to be found, leading to the professor leaving the Pokémon behind. After the humans' disappearance and his evolution into {{p|Tangrowth}}, he found and wore the professor's glasses on his chest.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

{{-}}

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

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

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

==== Mr. Windychu & Ms. Wavychu ====
[[Mr. Windychu]] and [[Ms. Wavychu|Mrs. Wavychu]] will be characters in [[Pokémon Winds and Waves]] respectively.

They resemble a tanned Pikachu with clothes similar to the playable character. No further information is known.

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

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

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

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

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

====In the spin-off games====
* [[Pokémon Stadium]]: Pikachu stars in the mini-game "Thundering Dynamo" alongside {{p|Voltorb}}. This mini-game involves charging up electric power.
* [[Hey You, Pikachu!]]: Pikachu stars alongside an unnamed child (who bears a striking resemblance to Red) who was recently taught how to interact with wild {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} by [[Professor Oak]]. The boy and Pikachu form a bond and go on many adventures together, and one day, Pikachu decides to live with the boy.
* {{g|Stadium 2}}: Pikachu can be used in "Pichu's Power Plant" if it is [[transfer]]red from another game.
* {{g|Pinball}}: Pikachu serves as a Ball-Saver, but it will only work if the Lightning Meter is full.
* {{g|Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire}}: Pikachu has the same role as in Pokémon Pinball, but is sometimes helped by Pichu. Pikachu also appears on the Catch 'Em Mode banner.
* {{g|Channel}}: Much like Hey You, Pikachu!, this game focuses on a boy and a Pikachu bonding through social interactions, such as going outside and talking to other Pokémon, and watching TV together.
* [[Pokémon Pokopia]]: A Pikachu named [[Peakychu]] is a supporting character in the game.

===[[Held item]]s===
Pokémon caught in [[Generation I]] must be [[trade]]d to a [[Generation II]] game in order for a held item to appear. In {{game|Yellow}}, the player gets the [[Light Ball]] by trading the {{OBP|Pikachu|Yellow}} received at the beginning of the game, otherwise the Pikachu will be holding a Berry. In [[Pokéwalker]], only Pikachu found in [[Yellow Forest]] are carrying items.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

===Main series===
====Major appearances====
=====[[Ash's Pikachu]]=====
[[Ash Ketchum]] has a Pikachu that he obtained from {{an|Professor Oak}} in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', the first episode of {{aniseries|PTS}}, which also marked the species' debut. He was the main {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} character of the animated series from the [[original series]] to {{aniseries|JN}} and appeared in almost every non-special episode and every [[Pokémon movie]] released throughout that point. In ''[[JN013|The Climb to Be the Very Best!]]'', he was revealed to be capable of [[Gigantamax]]ing. He always [[Walking Pokémon|remains outside]] of his {{i|Poké Ball}}.

=====[[Pikachutwo]]=====
In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} cloned Ash's Pikachu. This Pikachu can be distinguished from Ash's due to the spikes in the black marks found on 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. It reappeared in the sequel special ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'' and the remake movie ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]''.

=====[[Puka]]=====
A Pikachu [[nickname]]d Puka was owned by {{OBP|Victor|EP067}} on {{an|Seafoam Island}} in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]''. This blue-eyed Pikachu saved Ash from drowning by having the ability to sense tidal waves approaching.

=====[[Sparky]]=====
[[Ritchie]] 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, and, unlike Ash's Pikachu, has no problem with living inside a Poké Ball.

=====[[Ashachu]]=====
Ash was [[Human–Pokémon transformation|turned into a Pikachu]] in ''[[EP241|Hocus Pokémon]]'' by a Pokémon magician named {{OBP|Lily|EP241}}. He reverted to his human self at the beginning of [[EP242|the next episode]].

=====[[Cosplay Pikachu]]=====
All of the Cosplay Pikachu appeared in ''[[XY078|Lights! Camera! Pika!]]'', under the ownership of [[Frank]]. They reappeared in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', where they were all summoned by {{an|Hoopa}} as part of a prank on Ash and his Pikachu.

=====[[Ash's Pikachu (M20)]]=====
In the ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'' alternate continuity, {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20}} has a Pikachu who is his first Pokémon and his main partner, almost always remaining outside of his Poké Ball.

=====[[Goh's Pikachu]]=====
[[Goh]] {{pkmn2|caught}} a Pikachu in [[JN035|''Gotta Catch a'' What?!]]. She, along with a few others of her kind, later evolved into Raichu during the episode.

=====[[Captain Pikachu]]=====
In ''[[HZ002|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part Two)]]'', a Pikachu nicknamed Captain Pikachu appeared under the ownership of [[Friede]]. It is capable of {{Tera}}stallizing into a {{t|Flying}} [[type]], as first seen in [[HZ121]].

=====Other=====
In ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]'', many wild Pikachu appear and Ash's Pikachu wants to play with them. Eventually, Ash tries to release him thinking it'd be best for Pikachu to be with his own kind, but he refused to leave Ash's side.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

'''Ditto''' (Japanese: '''メタモン''' ''Metamon'') is the main protagonist of {{g|Pokopia}}. Taking the form of a human, Ditto uses its abilities of {{m|Transform|transformation}} to imitate the [[move]]s of the Pokémon residing in the area with the goal of creating a paradise.

==In the spin-off games==
[[File:Pokopia Ditto.png|thumb|right|200px|Ditto's true appearance]]
===Appearance===
Visually, Ditto appears identical to other members of its species. Unusual of its species, Ditto tends to maintain its humanlike form by instead making alterations to specific sections of its body that are necessary for imitation, such as transforming its arms into plant stems to use {{m|Leafage}}. However, it does take on the form of {{p|Lapras}}, {{p|Dragonite}}, {{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Graveler}} when imitating their respective moves.

===Personality===
As a Pokémon, Ditto is capable of understanding the speech of other Pokémon; by listening to the wants and likes of the Pokémon on the island, Ditto uses its power of mimicry to create a habitat that best suits the nearby residents. From this, it appears to be a benevolent Pokémon dedicated to using its powers to restore the environment for the Pokémon which reside there.

===History===
====Background====
Currently, not much is known about Ditto's life prior to the start of [[Pokémon Pokopia]]. It is implied to have been captured at some point, as it comes out of a {{i|Poké Ball}} and its [[human]] form is based off a trainer it cared for.

====[[Pokémon Pokopia]]====
Ditto finds a discarded [[Pokédex]], with a picture of a [[Pokémon Trainer]] alongside a Ditto. Upon discovering the strange device, Ditto proceeds to copy the form of the Trainer, setting off on its own adventure. With the help of the nearby Pokémon, Ditto is able to replicate the moves of many different Pokémon, collecting building material such as wood and rocks to create a paradise for it and the other Pokémon living in the area.

Notes:
* '''Moonblast:'''
** Description prior to Version 2.10.0 (from June 28, 2021): Has a moderate chance of lowering the target's Sp. Atk.

==={{g|UNITE}}===
In Pokémon UNITE, Moonblast is {{p|Gardevoir}}'s first move. It is obtained by reaching level 7 as {{p|Kirlia}} and upgrading {{m|Confusion}} into it instead of {{m|Psychic}}. The user moves back while firing a blast, stunning the first enemy hit and damaging all enemies in a cone behind it. At level 13, the move also grants the user a shield.

===Description===

* In the [https://bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/wiki/E3_Nintendo_Direct_reveals_masses_of_information June 11, 2013 press release] for {{g|X and Y}}, it was stated that Moonblast would lower the target's Attack stat; however, in the final game, it lowers their Special Attack instead.

{{types}}
The '''Electric type''' (Japanese: '''でんきタイプ''' ''Electric type'') is one of the eighteen [[type]]s. Electric-type [[move]]s are super effective against {{t|Flying}}- and {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, while Electric-type Pokémon are weak to {{type|Ground}} moves.

==Battle properties==
''Note: Type effectiveness multipliers may vary in other {{pkmn|games}} outside the [[core series]].''

* The {{t|Steel}} type was introduced in [[Generation II]].

===Additional effects===
In [[Generation I]], Electric-type {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} cannot get [[Paralysis (status condition)|paralyzed]] by damage-dealing Electric-type [[move]]s, but can get paralyzed by other means. From [[Generation VI]] onward, Electric-type Pokémon cannot get paralyzed at all.

When the move {{m|Mud Sport}} (introduced in [[Generation III]]) is in effect, the power of Electric-type moves is decreased by 67% (50% prior to [[Generation V]]). When {{m|Electric Terrain}} (introduced in [[Generation VI]]) is in effect, the [[power]] of Electric-type moves is increased by 30% (50% prior to [[Generation VIII]]) if the user is [[grounded]].

All {{type|Normal}} moves become Electric-type moves when affected by the moves {{m|Ion Deluge}} (introduced in Generation VI) or {{m|Plasma Fists}} (introduced in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}). If the target is affected by the move {{m|Electrify}} (introduced in Generation VI) before it uses a move, the target's move becomes Electric-type for that turn.

Only Electric-type Pokémon can use the move {{m|Double Shock}}, which will cause the user to no longer be Electric-type unless {{Tera}}stalized.

==Pokémon==
As of {{CURRENTGEN}}, {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Electric-type Pokémon|pages}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are Electric-type (counting those that are Electric-type in at least one of their [[form]]s, including [[Alolan form]]s), which makes up {{#expr: ({{PAGESINCATEGORY:Electric-type Pokémon|pages}}/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}% of all Pokémon, making it the third rarest [[type]] among Pokémon after {{t|Fairy}} and before {{t|Ghost}}. After the introduction of {{p|Pawmo}}, {{p|Pawmot}}, and {{p|Iron Hands}} in Generation IX, all other types have been paired up with Electric at least once, making Electric the fifth type to have this trait after {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Water}}, {{t|Psychic}}, and {{t|Dark}}.

The Pokémon below are listed by their current types. {{DL||Changed types|Some Pokémon}} have had their types changed, usually when a new type was introduced.

==Moves==
As of {{CURRENTGEN}}, there are 50 Electric-type [[move]]s, which makes up 5.35% of all moves (excluding those that are Electric-type only under certain circumstances), making it the 6th most common type among moves, after {{t|Water}} and {{t|Dark}} and before {{t|Fire}}.

Prior to [[Generation IV#Advances in gameplay|changes in Generation IV]], all damaging Electric-type moves were [[special move|special]], but they may now also be [[physical move|physical]] depending on the attack.

==Abilities==
===Interacting with the Electric type===
A {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with the [[Ability]] {{a|Protean}} or {{a|Libero}} will become Electric-type if it uses an Electric-type [[move]]. A Pokémon with {{a|Color Change}}, {{a|Imposter}}, {{a|Mimicry}}, {{a|RKS System}}, or {{a|Multitype}} will become Electric-type if (respectively) it is hit by an Electric-type move, is sent out against an Electric-type opponent, if the [[terrain]] is {{m|Electric Terrain|electric}}, if it is holding an [[Electric Memory]], or if it is holding a [[Zap Plate]]/[[Electrium Z]].

Since Generation VI, Electric-type Pokémon are also immune to becoming paralyzed from the {{Abilities}} {{a|Static}}, {{a|Synchronize}}, or {{a|Effect Spore}}.

==In spin-off games==
===Pokémon Sleep===
Unlike in the core series games, in {{g|Sleep}}, each Pokémon can only have one type, which determines the kind of [[Berry]] that the Pokémon will gather for {{Sleep|Snorlax}} to feed on. Electric-type Pokémon will gather [[Grepa Berry|Grepa Berries]], and typically have the Snoozing [[sleep type]].

The following is a list of Electric-type Pokémon in Pokémon Sleep.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Lightning (TCG)}}
Lightning-type Pokémon in the TCG are generally weak to {{TCG|Fighting}} and {{TCG|Lightning}} with resistances to {{TCG|Metal}} and {{TCG|Fighting}}. Lightning-type Pokémon are strong against {{TCG|Water}} and any Pokémon that is a {{type|Flying}} in the games, whilst some {{TCG|Fighting|Fighting-type}} Pokémon can resist this [[type]].

==Trivia==
* [[Generation IX]] introduced the most Electric-type {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} of any [[generation]], with twelve, and [[Generation VI]] introduced the fewest, with three.
* [[Generation VII]] and {{gen|VIII}} introduced the most Electric-type [[move]]s of any generation, each with nine, and [[Generation II]] introduced the fewest, with two.
* The Electric type is tied with {{t|Ice}} for having the fewest Pokémon capable of [[Mega Evolution]], with five.
* [[Generation III]] is the only generation that introduced no dual-type Electric-type Pokémon.
* Generation VI is the only generation that introduced no pure Electric-type Pokémon.
* {{g|Sword and Shield}} and {{g|Legends: Arceus}} are the only games not to include a major Electric-type specialist.
* The Electric type is tied with the {{t|Normal}} type for having the fewest weaknesses.
* All Electric-type moves introduced in [[Generation I]] have names beginning with the word "Thunder".
* In the first season of the {{pkmn|animated series}} and during much of [[Generation I]], the {{type|Rock}} was often wrongly assumed to be unaffected by Electric-type attacks. This was likely due to the fact that at the time, most Rock-type Pokémon (namely the {{p|Geodude}} and {{p|Rhyhorn}} [[Evolution]] lines, and {{p|Onix}}) were part {{type|Ground}} and thus immune to Electric-type moves. However, the only Rock-type Pokémon who aren't also Ground-type around at the time (the then five [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]]) were actually weak to them.
* In {{aniseries|PTS}}, Ground-type Pokémon's immunity to Electric-type attacks was treated inconsistently during the [[original series]] and early parts of the {{aniseries|RS|''Ruby and Sapphire'' series}}, notably during the {{aniseries|OS}} episode ''[[EP005|Showdown at Pewter City]]'', where [[Ash's Pikachu]] was able to hurt [[Brock's Onix]] by simply having his voltage raised and Onix being doused in water.
** The move {{m|Soak}}, introduced in [[Generation V]], has exactly the effect of the latter.
* In ''[[AG007|Tree's a Crowd]]'', {{an|Brock}} states that {{type|Grass}} Pokémon resist Electric-type moves due to being able to diffuse the electricity into trees and the ground. He also explains that if Grass-type Pokémon are in the air, they cannot diffuse the electricity from Electric-type attacks, thereby dealing normally effective damage.

List of alternately colored Pokémon in animation

Reinhartmax:

{{MissingInfo|2|enva|java}}
This is a list of '''[[List of alternately colored Pokémon|alternately colored Pokémon]] in various [[Pokémon animation|Pokémon animated media]]'''. This page also includes [[Shiny Pokémon]] as well as other Pokémon with unique appearances and features.

=={{aniseries|PTS}}==
Pokémon with a different color scheme have appeared in the {{pkmn|animated series}} even before the {{pkmn|games}}, with a [[pink Butterfree]] being one of the first to appear in ''[[EP021|Bye Bye Butterfree]]''. Many alternately colored Pokémon appear in the [[Orange Islands]] saga due to the setting's tropical climate. Many of these Pokémon have different color palettes than the palette for [[Shiny Pokémon]] of that species that were introduced in {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}. After the games' release, Pokémon with the regular Shiny palette began to make appearances starting with {{aniseries|GS}}.

===Shiny Pokémon===
{{TrainerPoké
|main=Ash's Noctowl
|trainer=Ash
|pkmn=Noctowl

|type2=Flying
|img=Ash Noctowl.png

|vajp=Yūji Ueda
|vaen=Yūji Ueda
|desc={{AP|Noctowl}} was the very first Shiny Pokémon to appear in the {{pkmn|animated series}}. In ''[[EP154|Fowl Play!]]'', [[Dr. Wiseman]] was trying to capture this {{p|Noctowl}} using traps rather than [[Poké Ball]]s, but Noctowl outwitted him and escaped the traps each time—usually leaving him hypnotized in the process. After {{Ash}} rescued it from {{TRT}}, it challenged Ash to a battle wherein had {{AP|Pikachu}} battle it and he captured it, adding it to his team.}}

{{TrainerPoké
|nick=Shuckle
|type1=Bug
|type2=Rock
|shiny=yes
|img=Old Man Shuckle Shiny Shuckle.png
|epnum=EP170
|epname=A Better Pill to Swallow

|desc=In ''[[EP170|A Better Pill to Swallow]]'', [[Old Man Shuckle]] sought out this {{p|Shuckle}} for its ability to create a special juice that was necessary for a special medicine to ensure Pokémon obedience. However, {{TRT}} got hold of the Shuckle and drank its juice pure, which had the effect of making all nearby Pokémon obsessed with them. Old Man Shuckle was able to cure this by throwing a powder at them that apparently acted as an antidote.

None of Shuckle's moves are known.}}

It was later used to help stop the {{pkmn|battle}} between {{DL|Kyogre and Groudon (Ruby and Sapphire series)|Kyogre}} and {{DL|Kyogre and Groudon (Ruby and Sapphire series)|Groudon}}. In {{aniseries|JN}}, it was used to battle [[Leon's Charizard]] in the finals of the [[World Coronation Series]], where it was defeated, despite possessing both a type advantage and the ability to [[Dynamax]].}}

[[File:Leon Cinderace Libero Ground.png|thumb|250px|{{an|Leon}}'s {{p|Cinderace}} with its type having changed to {{t|Ground}} via {{a|Libero}} in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
Various {{pkmn|battle}} mechanics, such as certain [[move]]s and {{Abilities}}, may cause a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s [[type]] or the type of its moves to change or even be removed.

==In the core series games==
===Changing the type of a Pokémon===
Some moves and Abilities cause a Pokémon's [[type]]s to be temporarily changed, added, or removed in battle. The original types are still displayed in the Pokémon's [[summary]]. All type changes are undone when the Pokémon is [[Recall|switched out]], [[Fainting|faints]], or the battle ends.

Through type change, a Pokémon can have up to three types at once or no type at all:
* If a new type is added (such as {{t|Grass}} via {{m|Forest's Curse}} or {{t|Ghost}} via {{m|Trick-or-Treat}}) to a dual-type Pokémon, it will have three types at once. However, if Forest's Curse is used on a Pokémon affected by Trick-or-Treat or vice-versa, the new type will replace the previously added one.
* If one or more types are removed through {{m|Burn Up}} or {{m|Double Shock}}, and the Pokémon has no more types left, it will become [[typeless]] until it is switched out, faints, or the battle ends.

The type change can add or remove type-related immunities to [[status condition]]s, such that a Pokémon cannot be {{status|poison}}ed after gaining the {{type|Poison}} or {{type|Steel}}; or conversely, an originally {{type|Poison}} or {{type|Steel}} Pokémon can become poisoned after its type has changed (and will remain poisoned even after the battle ends). However, any status conditions the Pokémon already has are not influenced by the type change; for example, a poisoned Pokémon will retain this status condition even after becoming a Poison or Steel type.

If a Pokémon copies the types of another (by using {{m|Conversion}} in [[Generation I]] only, {{m|Reflect Type}}, {{m|Transform}}, or via {{a|Imposter}}), the target's type changes are copied as well. If the target is currently typeless, the user will become a pure {{t|Normal}} type. However, if the target was typeless and then gained a type via {{m|Forest's Curse}} or {{m|Trick-or-Treat}}, the user will have two types: Normal and the added one.

The type changes are not transferred via {{m|Baton Pass}}.

|}
|}

=====Terastallizing=====
{{main|Terastal phenomenon}}
After Terastallizing, a Pokémon will change from its original typing to its Tera Type. It will keep the {{STAB}} of its old type(s), but will also gain STAB for moves of its Tera Type. If a Pokémon's Tera Type matches one of its original types, STAB for moves of that type will be raised to a modifier of 2× (2.25× for a Pokémon with {{a|Adaptability}}). It is also the only way that a Pokémon can gain the [[Stellar (type)|Stellar]] type.

===Changing the type of a move===
In the core series games, the move-changing Abilities are applied first and then the move-changing moves. Some examples:

* If {{m|Tackle}} (an originally {{type|Normal}} move) changes type by Abilities such as {{a|Aerilate}}, {{a|Galvanize}}, {{a|Pixilate}}, or {{a|Refrigerate}}, then Tackle will not be affected by {{m|Ion Deluge}} or {{m|Plasma Fists}}, which are moves that specifically change Normal-type moves into the {{type|Electric}}.
* If {{m|Play Rough}} (an originally Fairy-type move) is changed into Normal-type by {{a|Normalize}}, then it can be affected by Ion Deluge and Plasma Fists, becoming an Electric-type move.

Some moves are affected in different ways:
* {{m|Flying Press}} is {{type|Fighting}} that normally deals Fighting/Flying damage. If the type of this move changes, then it deals damage according to the current type and Flying.
* {{m|Freeze-Dry}} always deals super-effective damage against a {{type|Water}} Pokémon, even if the type of this move has changed.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
====Changing Pokémon types====
{{incomplete|section|Confirm if a Pokémon that has changed type (such as from Conversion or Color Change) gains the terrain abilities, such as a Water-type Pokémon able to walk on water, or a Ghost-type Pokémon able to go through walls}}

In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]], most of the available moves and Abilities that change a Pokémon's type simply work as in the [[core series]]. The temporary type changes last only in the current floor of the [[mystery dungeon|dungeon]].

Prior to [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Gates to Infinity]], the move {{m|Conversion 2}} caused the [[Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)#Conversion 2|status condition of the same name]] for 11 turns. If the Pokémon with this status condition is hit by a move, it will turn into a type that has the best matchup against it (even if it's a non-damaging move).

====Changing move types====
The {{a|Normalize}} Ability is available from [[Generation IV]] onwards, while {{a|Aerilate}}, {{a|Pixilate}}, and {{a|Refrigerate}} are only found in {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon]}}. They work similarly as in the core series games.

In Super Mystery Dungeon, the move Electrify causes the {{DL|Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)|Electrify|status condition of the same name}}.

==In animation==
[[File:Arceus M12 Multitype.png|thumb|250px|{{OBP|Arceus|M12}} changing into a {{t|Ghost}} type with {{a|Multitype}}]]
[[File:Gladion Silvally RKS System Dark.png|thumb|250px|[[Gladion's Silvally]] changing into a {{t|Dark}} type with {{a|RKS System}}]]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
The possibility of changing types was rarely mentioned on-screen prior to {{aniseries|JN}}, with the notable exceptions of {{p|Arceus}} and {{p|Silvally}}, whose {{Abilities}}—{{a|Multitype}} and {{a|RKS System}}, respectively—are integral to the Pokémon's biology and, as such, were heavily featured in battle.

Several [[move]]s and Abilities that change Pokémon's types in the games have appeared, but are not known to do the same in {{aniseries|PTS}} include:
* {{m|Conversion}} (Japanese: テクスチャー ''Texture'') has the user copy the target's color and texture. While unconfirmed, Conversion appears to alter the way the user is affected by opposing attacks, as if its type also had changed.
* {{m|Transform}} has been used on multiple occasions by {{p|Ditto}} and {{p|Mew}}, turning them into a copy of the target, and allowing them to use [[move]]s from the Pokémon they copied.
* {{m|Camouflage}} and {{a|Color Change}} work similarly, turning the user invisible.
* {{a|Zen Mode}} changes {{p|Darmanitan}}'s form, but the type change included in this process has yet to be explicitly mentioned.
* {{m|Relic Song}} does not appear to deal damage, but still changes {{p|Meloetta}}'s forms, affecting its battle style and available moves, and it makes plants grow as well.
* {{m|Forest's Curse}} binds the targets with vines from below.

The type-changing Abilities {{a|Imposter}}, {{a|Protean}}, and {{a|Mimicry}}, as well as the moves {{m|Conversion 2}}, {{m|Roost}}, {{m|Reflect Type}}, {{m|Soak}}, and {{m|Magic Powder}}, have never been shown to be used in the series.

Despite Soak having not appeared in the series, its effect of turning the target into a pure {{t|Water}} type to allow {{type|Electric}} attacks to hit Pokémon normally resistant or outright immune to them, like {{t|Ground}} types, have been directly referenced in ''[[SM109|A Grand Debut!]]'', after [[Ash's Pikachu]] drenched [[Hapu's Mudsdale]] in seawater, allowing him to finish the battle off with a {{m|Gigavolt Havoc}}. This effect can be traced even further back to ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', prior to the move even debuting in the games, when Ash's Pikachu defeated [[Brock's Onix]] with an Electric attack after it had been doused by the sprinklers.

====''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''====
In ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', {{OBP|Arceus|M12}} changed between types with {{a|Multitype}}. This marks the first time a type change is confirmed to have happened in animated series-related media, as Arceus changed into a {{t|Ghost}} type to turn itself immune to {{OBP|Palkia|movie}}'s {{m|Aura Sphere}}.

===={{aniseries|SM}}====
In ''[[SM049|Mission: Total Recall!]]'', [[Gladion's Silvally]] changed type for the first time using the {{a|RKS System}}, turning into a {{t|Dark}} type with the [[Dark Memory]]. It did the same with other [[Memory|Memories]] throughout the rest of the series.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
In ''[[JN068|Advice to Goh!]]'', a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Moltres}} lost its {{t|Fire}} type after using {{m|Burn Up}}.

In ''[[JNS04|The Arceus Chronicles (Part 4)]]'', a wild {{p|Arceus}} changed into a {{t|Water}} type with {{a|Multitype}}.

In ''[[JN116|Pride of a Champion!]]'', [[Diantha]]'s {{p|Gourgeist}} used {{m|Trick-or-Treat}} and added the {{t|Ghost}} type to [[Lance's Gyarados]], allowing Gourgeist to deal more damage with its Ghost-type attacks. It also did the same with Lance's {{p|Hydreigon}}, though this didn't come into play at any point.

In ''[[JN129|A Flood of Torrential Gains!]]'', {{an|Leon}}'s {{p|Cinderace}} had its type changed by {{a|Libero}} for the first time: after using {{m|Scorching Sands}}, it became a pure {{t|Ground}} type, making it immune to Ash's Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}}. It also changed its type several times in ''[[JN131|Paring Pokémon While Parrying!]]'' while fighting [[Ash's Dracovish]].

===''Pokémon Horizons: The Series''===
Similar to the games, {{Tera}}stallization has been used to change a Pokémon's type on multiple occasions, first being shown in ''[[HZ010|Nemona and Brassius and...]]'' when [[Brassius]] Terastallized his {{p|Sudowoodo}} into a {{t|Grass}} type.

==In the manga==
[[File:Gladion Silvally Rock type.png|thumb|230px|Silvally changing into a Rock type via the RKS System in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Yellow}}====
In ''[[PS077|Striking Golduck]]'', {{adv|Blue}}'s {{p|Porygon}} used {{m|Conversion}} to become a {{t|Ghost}} type and make [[Agatha's Gengar]]'s physical attacks ineffective against it.

===={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}====
In ''[[PS160|Playful Porygon2]]'', [[Blue's Porygon2]] used {{m|Conversion 2}} to become a {{t|Dark}} type in order to resist the attacks from [[Silver's Sneasel]].

===={{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}====
In ''[[PS455|All About Arceus IV]]'', [[Archer]] used the [[Plate]]s gathered by {{adv|Silver}} to activate {{adv|Arceus}}'s {{a|Multitype}} and change its type several times as a demonstration of Arceus's powers.

===={{MangaArc|X & Y}}====
In ''[[PS591|Mewtwo Angered]]'', [[Emma|Essentia]]'s {{adv|Zygarde}} used {{m|Camouflage}} to change its type and blend into its surroundings while battling {{adv|Blaine}}'s {{adv|Mewtwo}}.

In ''[[PS595|Magearna Moves]]'', [[Cassius]]'s {{p|Gourgeist}} used {{m|Trick-or-Treat}} to turn {{p|Magearna}} into a Ghost type and give it the type's weaknesses.

===={{MangaArc|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}====
In ''[[PASM34|Destroy!! Results of the Training!]]'', [[Gladion's Silvally]] was revealed to have changed into a {{t|Fire}} type using its {{a|RKS System}} to free {{adv|Moon}} from the cell she was held in. Later, Moon used a [[Rock Memory]] to change Silvally into a {{t|Rock}} type to fight [[Ryuki]]'s {{p|Turtonator}} more effectively.

===={{MangaArc|Scarlet & Violet}}====
{{Tera}}stallization has been used to change a Pokémon's type in multiple instances, the first time occurring in ''[[PASV01|Speeding! Paldea's Prince of Speed!!]]'', where {{Scarlet}} Terastallized her {{p|Pikachu}} into a {{t|Flying}} type while battling {{adv|Nemona}}'s {{p|Pawmi}}.

===Phantom Thief Pokémon 7===
In ''[[P7-11|Into The Hands Of Evil?!]]'', [[Io]]'s {{p|Porygon-Z}} used Conversion 2 to change its type.

'''Greedent''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヨクバリス''' ''Yokubarisu'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Skwovet}} starting at [[level]] 24.

==Biology==
[[File:Pokécology Greedent.png|thumb|left|200px|Greedent gathers so many Berries in its tail that they spill over]]
Greedent is a bipedal, squirrel-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a tan and brown plump body, a buck tooth, orange nose, stumpy limbs, and a huge tail twice as long as its body. It has a darker brown area on its cheeks that can also be found on its chest, the underside of its tail, and the tips of its ears. Its fur is fluffy and messy. It also has orange freckles on its big cheeks and orange inside of its ears. Its eyes are a black oval-shape with white pupils, with a ring of light brown fur surrounding them.

True to its name, Greedent is extremely greedy and gluttonous. Greedent constantly gathers {{Berries}} and stuffs them into its tail; it will run to gather Berries even if it's in the middle of a battle. It stuffs its tail with so many Berries that they fall out constantly, especially when it is hit or [[Fainting|faints]]. It may also stash {{p|Bounsweet}} in its tail, as it considers the latter's sweet scent to be attractive. Dimwitted, Greedent will not often notice the loss of the food they store. Its sharp teeth are strong enough to gnaw through the strongest of Berry shells.

Greedent and its pre-evolved form, {{p|Skwovet}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Stuff Cheeks}} by leveling up.

===Evolution===
Greedent evolves from {{p|Skwovet}}.

Greedent is playable through obtaining a Unite License. It is a melee defender that starts as Skwovet, which evolves into Greedent at level 5.

==Trivia==
* When Greedent is damaged in the games, a [[Leppa Berry]] falls out of its tail.
* In [[Generation IX]], prior to the Version 2.0.1 update of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Greedent was unable to learn {{m|Trailblaze}} via [[TM]], while its pre-Evolution could.

===Origin===
Greedent may be based on the {{wp|Red squirrel|Eurasian red squirrel}}, a species of squirrel that is endangered in {{wp|Great Britain}}. Their dimwitted nature compared to Skwovet may reference the fact that grey squirrels are more intelligent than red squirrels in real life.

====Name origin====
Greedent may be a combination of ''greed'' and ''rodent''.

Yokubarisu may be a combination of 欲張り ''yokubari'' (greed), 栗鼠 ''risu'' (squirrel), and ''avarice'' (a synonym for greed).

'''Smeargle''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ドーブル''' ''Doble'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

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

Smeargle is best known for its [[signature move]] {{m|Sketch}}, which permanently copies the last move used by the opponent (with a few exceptions), thus allowing Smeargle to learn almost any move.

==Biology==
[[File:Jack Pollockson Smeargle.png|thumb|left|220px|Smeargle with various tail colors]]
[[File:Sugimori Smeargle AG.jpg|thumb|250px|{{aniseries|AG}} reference sheet]]
Smeargle is a bipedal, {{wp|beagle}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with white and brown fur. It has a long tail with an end resembling a paintbrush. The tail tip oozes with a mysterious paint-like fluid, and although the color of the paint is predetermined for each individual Smeargle, it may otherwise vary; a Smeargle's paint hue may also change in intensity with its emotional state. Smeargle has a footprint on its back that is typically the same color as the paint on the tip of its tail, though Smeargle can have separate back and tail colors in {{g|Stadium 2}}. The mark is placed on Smeargle's back as a sign of adulthood. Smeargle also has a round structure on its head with a point that resembles a {{wp|beret}}. It has floppy, brown ears and a brown collar on its neck. The rings encircling Smeargle's eyes are also brown, as are Smeargle's eyelids. Its arms have two brown bands, and its legs have only one. Each of its limbs has three digits.

Smeargle's in-game appearances in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} as well as [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] all depict it with red paint on its back and tail while its {{Shiny}} coloration is depicted with green; the inverse is true in the [[Generation III]] [[core series]] games and in every game from [[Generation IV]] onwards. Pokémon Stadium 2 and the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP197|The Art of Pokémon]]'' both depict Smeargle that have blue back and tail colors, with the animated series episode also depicting Smeargle that have yellow back and tail colors. Its Shiny coloration in Stadium 2 can also be seen with teal, orange, or indigo paint on its back and tail.

Smeargle uses its paint to mark its territory. There are over 5,000 known different marks that Smeargle uses, and paintings of certain symbols are highly valued by Smeargle fanatics, who will pay large sums to own them. It can also use its [[signature move]], {{m|Sketch}}, to copy moves from other Pokémon. Smeargle is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Sketch. Smeargle is often found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas}} filled with graffiti.

==Trivia==
* Due to its [[signature move]] {{m|Sketch}}, Smeargle can legitimately know almost any [[move]], giving it a number of distinctions:
** Smeargle can pass down any [[Egg Move]] combination to any {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the {{egg3|Field}}. This was important in Generations II to V, when only the father could pass down Egg Moves.
** {{m|Hidden Power}}-evaluating NPCs cannot identify the type of Smeargle's Hidden Power even if Smeargle possesses the move, due to being unable to use the TM for it.
** Prior to [[Generation IX]], Smeargle was able to sketch {{m|Hyperspace Fury}} and {{m|Dark Void}}, but the moves would always fail when used by Pokémon other than {{p|Hoopa}} {{form|Hoopa|Unbound}} (and starting in {{g|Sun and Moon}}), {{p|Darkrai}}, respectively.
* Smeargle is the only Pokémon capable of learning the same move by leveling up more than four times—some Pokémon have the same move available at level 1 as well as by leveling up, while Smeargle has the same move available ten times as it levels up.
* In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]] mission "Smeargle's Desperate Plea", even though the Smeargle refuses to have a paw painted onto its back, the paw print is nonetheless present on its sprite.
* In [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], the paint on Smeargle's back and tail is red in its normal coloration and green in its shiny coloration, which how it was depicted in the [[Generation II]] [[Core series|core series]] games despite the inverse being the case in the [[Generation III]] core series games at the time of their release.
* In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], Smeargle can have either red, green or blue back and tail paint colors and its {{Shiny}} coloration can have either teal, indigo or orange back and tail paint colors respectively, determined by a combination of its [[Stat#Speed|Speed]], [[Stat#Defense|Defense]], [[Stat#Special|Special]] and [[Stat#Attack|Attack]] [[Individual values|DVs]].<ref>[https://bluemoonfalls.com/pages/general/stadium-hues#smeargle Stadium's Color Changing Pokémon - Blue Moon Falls]</ref>
** Uniquely, Pokémon Stadium 2 is the only game in which Smeargle is depicted with additional paint colors that aren't tied to its Shiny coloration. It is also the only instance of the paint on Smeargle's back and tail being shown as two separate colors.
* Because it's only ever capable of learning Sketch by level up, and being unable to learn any [[TM]] or [[HM]] move, Smeargle has both the smallest and the largest move pool out of any Pokémon.

===Origin===
Smeargle appears to be based on a {{wp|beagle}} and a {{wp|painter}}. Its tail is used as a {{wp|paintbrush}}, its head looks like it is wearing a {{wp|beret}}, a hat often associated with painters, and it has a {{wp|footprint}} stamped on its back which is a form of art.

====Name origin====
Smeargle may be a combination of ''smear'' and ''beagle''.

Doble may be a combination of ''dog'', ''daub'', ''doodle'', and ''double'' (referring to Smeargle's ability to copy moves).

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

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

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

==Biology==
Tangrowth is a large {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a black body wrapped in a large mass of blue vines. The vines are used to entangle foes and prey. A pair of saucer-like eyes peek out from beneath the tangled mess of vines. Its stubby black feet are tipped with red. Tangrowth has a pair of blue boneless arms that have three fingers. The arms are made from bundles of vines and can be extended to a great length. The fingers on these arms are completely red on a female Tangrowth, while they have red tips on a male.

Tangrowth is unfazed if one of its arms is broken off, as it will {{a|Regenerator|easily grow back}}. It hunts by disguising itself as a shrub, then grabbing prey with its vines. However, Tangrowth has been known to consume fruit as well. Predators have been known to eat Tangrowth's vines. When the climate is warm, its vine growth is accelerated to the point where not even its eyes can be seen. If its vines grow too long, Tangrowth shortens them by tearing bits of them off. Tangrowth is very rare in the wild, though it can be found in temperate grasslands and swamps.

===Evolution===
Tangrowth evolves from {{p|Tangela}}.

==In animation==
[[File:Verona Tangrowth.png|thumb|250px|Tangrowth in {{aniseries|DP}}]]
===Major appearances===
Tangrowth made its animated series debut in ''[[DP134|Promoting Healthy Tangrowth!]]'', where it was trying to save a dying tree that was a key part of the forest. With the help of {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, it was able to save the tree.

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

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

In ''[[DP185|Working on a Right Move!]]'', a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Tangrowth competed in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]. It defeated another Trainer's {{p|Hippowdon}}.

In ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'', {{OBP|Mewtwo|M16}}'s flashback featured a Tangrowth. When Mewtwo passed out from an explosion caused by a lighting strike, Tangrowth caught it in its arms and helped nurse it back to health.

A Trainer's Tangrowth appeared in ''[[HZ050|Trending Terastallization! Dance, Dance, Quaxly!]]''.

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

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

A Tangrowth liberated by [[Team Plasma]] appeared in ''[[PS547|The Final Battle]]'' as one of the Pokémon stuck in [[N's Castle]].

===Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!===
A Tangrowth appeared in ''[[DPA14|A Novel Test!!]]'', under the ownership of [[Jupiter]].

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

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

===Origin===
Due to the mystery around Tangela's appearance under the {{wp|vine}}s, Tangrowth may be based on the {{wp|List of swamp monsters|swamp monster}} from the short story "{{wp|It! (short story)|It!}}" by {{wp|Theodore Sturgeon}}, which is ultimately revealed to have formed around a human skeleton. It may also be based on a {{wp|Green Man}}, a motif that is represented as a face surrounded by leaves and vines (this may also have inspired Tangrowth's {{Shiny}} variant's green color). Given that it evolves thanks to {{m|Ancient Power}}, it may also draw some inspiration from a shaggy {{wp|caveman}}, matching the prehistoric theme of {{p|Yanmega}} and {{p|Mamoswine}}, which evolve with the same move.

Its [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] state that its vines will bind and ensnare its surroundings. This may be a reference to {{wp|thigmotropism}}, a biological reaction plants have towards contact that encourages them to coil around objects they touch as they grow, allowing stability in their stems and branches.

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

Mojumbo may be a combination of もじゃもじゃ ''mojamoja'' (shaggy or unkempt) and ''jumbo''.

'''Ditto''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メタモン''' ''Metamon'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

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

Ditto is well known for its unique ability to [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] with any Pokémon other than the Pokémon in the {{egg|No Eggs Discovered}} group and other Ditto, including some [[Gender unknown|gender-unknown]] Pokémon, to produce Eggs of the other's species. Ditto is also seen sometimes transforming into Humans.

[[Ditto (Pokopia)|Ditto]] (in human form) is the main protagonist of the upcoming [[Pokémon Pokopia]].

==Biology==
In its natural state, Ditto is a light-purple or pink blob-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with {{wp|Vestigiality|vestigial}} facial features. It is often referred to as amorphous, but has a relatively consistent appearance in official artwork, including two small nubs on its "head", a few soft lumps at its base, and two {{wp|Pseudopodia|pseudopod}}-like protrusions in place of arms. The face consists of beady eyes and a simple mouth; almost always pulled into a smile.

Ditto bears a variety of unusual and often entirely unique traits that set it apart from every other Pokémon. It is capable of [[Ditto transformations|transforming]] into an exact replica of any physical object or living creature, including its form and properties. Each Ditto has its own strengths and weaknesses when it comes to transforming; being unable to remain transformed while laughing and getting details of its transformation wrong if based on memory being apparently universal. The [[Bandai Pokémon Carddass Cards]] depict Ditto being able to transform separate sections of its body into parts from multiple Pokémon at once. Similarly, in [[Pokémon Pokopia]], Ditto can transform parts of its body even while transformed as a [[human]], such as transforming its arms into {{p|Bulbasaur}}'s vines to use {{m|Leafage}}. In the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episodes ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]'' and ''[[SM046|Deceiving Appearances!]]'', as well as in the [[Ditto (TCG)|TCG]] and some {{spin-off games}}, it is shown that occasionally Ditto cannot change its face during transformation; this trait has become synonymous with the species, despite being incongruous with their depiction in the [[core series]] games. While its transformation ability allows it to get along with almost anything, it does not get along with its own kind, which it will quickly (and generally fruitlessly) attempt to transform into.

While Ditto can transform into a [[human]], it cannot mimic human speech. It transforms into a rock when sleeping to avoid being attacked. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Ditto is known to sleep while still transformed into either a rock or Pokémon, the latter is noted to be a very rare occasion.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> In [[The Indigo Disk]], various [[Blueberry Quest|Ditto Blocks]]<ref name=DittoBlock>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/_images/news/dec_23/p10_03_en.jpg Screenshot from the SV website showing a quest with a Ditto Block.]</ref> can be found as objectives in [[Blueberry Quest]]s throughout the [[Terarium]], where Ditto will seemingly transform into one of the many cubes with rounded edges that make up many of the structures of the Terarium. Despite being milestones for the player to obtain, and not actually obtainable themselves, they can still be {{Shiny}}.<ref name=ShinyDittoBlock>[https://twitter.com/jflash727/status/1735463386895270079 A player finding a Shiny Ditto block in the Terarium.]</ref>

Ditto is never far from {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|civilization or people}}, and is the only Pokémon capable of using the [[Metal Powder]] and [[Quick Powder]] items. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Imposter}} as an [[Ability]].

Ditto first became available in {{g|GO}} on November 23, 2016, disguised as other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the {{pkmn2|wild}}. Players will only find out whether a Pokémon is a Ditto if successfully [[caught Pokémon|captured]], upon which a cutscene will show the Pokémon transforming back into Ditto.<ref>[https://pokemongolive.com/en/post/ditto/ Ditto has been discovered... - Pokémon GO]</ref> Ditto can be used in {{OBP|Gym|GO}} and {{OBP|Raid Battle|GO}}s, in which it will Transform into the first Pokémon it sees; however Ditto cannot be used in {{OBP|Trainer Battle|GO}}s.

As of September 1, 2021, wild Ditto may be Shiny, and some Pokémon whose [[Shiny Pokémon (GO)|Shiny forms]] are available may transform into Ditto. If a player encounters a Shiny Pokémon in the wild, it cannot be a disguised Ditto, but non-Shiny Pokémon have a small chance of being a Shiny Ditto.<ref>[https://pokemongohub.net/post/guide/how-does-shiny-ditto-work-in-pokemon-go/ How Does Shiny Ditto Work in Pokémon GO? | Pokémon GO Hub]</ref>

== In animation==
[[File:Ditto anime.png|250px|thumb|{{Shiny}} and normal-colored Ditto in {{aniseries|DP}}]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Duplica's Ditto]]====
[[Duplica]] has a Ditto that debuted in ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]'', where they used to perform for people, only to lack an audience since people saw that Ditto could not change its face. Ditto fixed that problem near the end of the episode, when it was captured by {{TRT}}.

====Other====
In ''[[EP111|Hello Pummelo]]'', {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}} used a Ditto in a [[Full Battle]] against {{Ash}} at the [[Pummelo Stadium]]. It faced [[Ash's Pikachu]], but ended up losing after Pikachu used {{m|Agility}} and then slammed its tail down on Ditto.

Sometime before ''[[EP174|Imitation Confrontation]]'', Duplica found another Ditto, which she [[nickname]]d Mini-Dit. This second Ditto could transform into an exact mirror image of anything, but it could not change its size.

In ''[[AG083|Unfair Weather Friends]]'', a Ditto was [[Brodie]]'s partner-in-crime. It reappeared in the same role in ''[[AG119|The Ribbon Cup Caper]]''.

A Ditto appeared in [[PK15]].

In ''[[DP173|Dealing With A Fierce Double Ditto Drama!]]'', [[Narissa]] used two Ditto nicknamed Ditto 1 and Ditto 2. Ditto 2 is {{DL|List of alternately colored Pokémon in animation|Ditto 2|Shiny}}.

In ''[[SM046|Deceiving Appearances!]]'', five Ditto were getting vaccinated at [[Aether Paradise]]. One of them escaped but was soon rescued. One of them reappeared in a flashback in ''[[SM047|A Masked Warning!]]''. All of them reappeared in ''[[SM096|Don't Ignore the Small Stufful!]]''.

In ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', [[Margo]] befriended a Ditto. It and a {{p|Teddiursa}} were targeted by [[Pokémon hunter]]s looking for {{OBP|Zeraora|M21}}, but they were saved by Zeraora, {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}}, and his friends.

In ''[[JN019|A Talent for Imitation!]]'', a Ditto works as a film actor because {{m|Transform}} is unusually efficient for impersonations. Its latest role was in a movie directed by [[Kublock]], about {{p|Gardevoir}} twins, but it ran away due to Kublock's overly strict attitude and its increasing inability to use Transform as effectively. Ditto eventually ran into and befriended Team Rocket, who taught it how to overcome its nerves and regain its confidence. As a result, it returned to the set and production resumed without any further problems.

===Minor appearances===
[[File:Shiny Ditto anime.png|250px|thumb|{{Shiny}} Ditto in {{aniseries|HZ}}]]
In ''[[EP122|Flower Power]]'', a Ditto was part of [[Florando]]'s annual [[Pokémon Exhibition]].

In a flashback in ''[[EP129|Ignorance is Blissey]]'', a Ditto was at the [[Pokémon Nurse School]].

In ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]'', the [[Pokémon Trainers' School]] lent a Ditto to the school's underage students for use in lessons.

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

A Ditto appeared in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]''.

In ''[[SM131|The Battlefield of Truth and Love!]]'', a Trainer's Ditto watched the {{pkmn|battle}}s of the [[Manalo Conference]]. It reappeared in ''[[SM133|Battling on the Wing!]]''.

In ''[[JN001|Enter Pikachu!]]'', {{an|Mew}} transformed into a Ditto during a fantasy while {{an|Professor Oak}} was teaching [[Goh]] and [[Chloe]].

In ''[[JN050|A Pinch of This, a Pinch of That!]]'', two Ditto were in the [[Wild Area]].

A Trainer's Ditto appeared in ''[[JN125|Whittle While You Work!]]''.

A Ditto appeared in ''[[JN136|This Could be the Start of Something Big!]]''.

Multiple Ditto appeared in ''[[PT04|Wait for Me, Magikarp!]]''.

==In the manga==
[[File:Duplica Ditto EToP.png|thumb|200px|Ditto in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]
===The Electric Tale of Pikachu ===
{{main|Duplica's Ditto}}
[[Duplica]] and her Ditto appeared in ''[[ET07|Pikachu's Excellent Adventure]]''. Finding Ditto appealing, {{an|Misty}} decided to capture one of her own, but the plan was called off when {{AP|Pikachu|Pikachu (EToP)}} went missing.

Ditto was also featured in a minicomic, in which it transformed into [[Ash Ketchum (EToP)|Ash]], harassed Misty, and thereby got Ash into a lot of pain.

===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
{{main|Ditty}}
In ''[[PS016|Tauros the Tyrant]]'', Ditto is one of the members on {{adv|Green}}'s team. As a master of transformation, Green uses Ditto extensively in her schemes, such as morphing over her face to disguise her appearance (like when she infiltrated the [[Silph Co.]] building disguised as [[Sabrina]]), camouflaging into its background for subterfuge, as well as forming a protective shield with Green's umbrella.

===={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}====
A {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Ditto appeared in ''[[PS107|Gligar Glide]]'', where it was seen in the [[Goldenrod Game Corner]].

Ditto is seen later used by [[Team Rocket]] in ''[[PS127|Miltank Melee]]'', to lure {{adv|Crystal}} and [[Eusine]] away from {{p|Suicune}} and smother them when discovered. It was, however, defeated by Crystal's {{p|Hitmonchan}}, [[Monlee]].

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
[[File:Ditto Melee.png|right|thumb|A screenshot of Ditto in Melee]]
Ditto was originally intended to be one of the Pokémon randomly released from a {{i|Poké Ball}}. It would have transformed into a copy of the user's character and aided them in battle. However, it was removed for unknown reasons before the game's release. Ditto can still be unlocked through the debug menu (which is only accessible through the use of Action Replay), though it does not do anything other than deal 7-8% damage to those who touch it.

As for its official status, Ditto only appears as a random trophy and as a cameo in the Tournament Mode menu. In Winner Out or Loser Out tournaments, holding down L and R and pressing A will give the player a random character and color for each match. The usual character image will instead be a picture of Ditto.

====Trophy information ====
''Every Ditto has the ability to copy a Pokémon's entire cell structure in an instant and become its exact replica. They're terrible at remembering techniques, but when they use {{m|Transform}}, they temporarily learn all of their foe's moves. If a Ditto starts to laugh, it weakens and can't hold its transformation.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
[[File:SSB Ditto.png|thumb|250px|Ditto in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]]]
Ditto appears as a Pokémon summoned from the {{i|Poké Ball}}, where it uses {{m|Transform}} to duplicate the shape of the summoning character while still maintaining its own color. It then attacks opposing fighters. Ditto also appears as a {{sbw|Spirit}}.

==Trivia ==
[[File:Spr 2d 188.png|thumb|Sprite of Animon from the 1997 demo]]
*Ditto has a scrapped Evolution in the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo|1997 Nintendo Space World demo]] of Pokémon Gold and Silver named アニモン ''Animon'', which evolves from Ditto using a [[Metal Coat]].
*Ditto is the only Pokémon to date with a [[catch rate]] of 35. However, in Generations [[Generation III|III]] and [[Generation IV|IV]], if Ditto {{m|transform}}s into another Pokémon, its catch rate will become that of the new Pokémon. In [[Generation IX]], its catch rate will become 0 by mistake if the Pokémon is not the primary [[form]], [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender]] (for Pokémon with differing stats or movesets), or [[regional form]].
* Ditto and {{p|Manaphy}} are the only Pokémon that are both able to breed yet unobtainable through breeding.
* In [[Pokémon Snap]], Ditto takes the form of {{p|Bulbasaur}} in the {{OBP|Cave|Snap}} stage. The {{player}} can cause them to return to their Ditto form by hitting them with an object. When the player takes their picture, Ditto has the same eyes when it is transformed as when it is not. This trait is shared by [[Duplica]]'s Ditto in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]'', although it was understood that this was not natural. {{TCG|Ditto|Ditto cards}} from the {{TCG|EX Delta Species}} {{Trading Card Game}} expansion, the Clefairy Ditto that may appear in the [[Veilstone Game Corner]]'s slot machines, and [[Howard Clifford]]'s Ditto in {{DetPikMov}} also have this trait.
*Ditto is one of two Pokémon to have two different species-specific [[Stat-enhancing item]]s associated with it, the other being {{p|Clamperl}}. Ditto's two associated items, the Metal Powder and Quick Powder, seem to be the same colors as Ditto's normal and {{Shiny}} forms, respectively.
*In [[Pokémon Rumble]], since {{m|Transform}} was not programmed into the game, Ditto can only know {{m|Struggle}}. Since PP does not exist in Rumble, this makes Ditto the only Pokémon in Rumble that can use Struggle. However, Transform does exist in [[Pokémon Rumble Blast]], so Ditto has a move from that game onward.
*Ditto is the most common Pokémon in [[Pokémon Trozei!]], appearing in every area. This is due to its ability to transform, enabling the player a way to advance further if no links are available before Ditto appears.
*Prior to [[Generation VI]], Ditto and {{p|Poliwag}} had the same [[cry]].
*Since Transform copies its target's stats (except HP), Ditto cannot utilize its Special Attack stat before Transforming, though it can use its Attack stat for {{m|Struggle}} and {{status|confusion}} damage.
* Since Ditto's only move, Transform, cannot copy moves in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series and has only one PP, its only move after transforming is Struggle.
**However, in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Red/Blue Rescue Team]] and in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], a player-controlled Ditto can learn the TM moves [[Vacuum-Cut]] and [[Wide Slash]].
**Since [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], Ditto is able to get the moveset of the target Pokémon when it transforms.
*In Generation VI, Ditto is only given one move animation (despite the two animations minimum most Pokémon have for contact and non-contact moves).
*On October 4, 2017, [[The Pokémon Company]] posted a Ditto-themed music video onto their YouTube channel titled [[Dit-to Ditto]].
*In [[Pokémon GO]], Ditto appears in the wild disguised as other Pokémon. After being caught, it will reveal its true form. At one point, a large amount of Ditto were seen disguised as the then-unrevealed [[Mythical Pokémon]], {{p|Meltan}}.
*In Pokémon GO, Ditto and {{p|Shedinja}} are the only Pokémon that cannot be used in [[Trainer Battle (GO)|Trainer Battles]], unless the battle is against [[Team GO Rocket]].
*Ditto is the only non-playable Pokémon that can be defeated in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]].
*In {{g|Shuffle}}, Ditto was originally coded as a wildcard prior to its official release, allowing it to match with any other Pokémon icon - its effect from {{g|Battle Trozei}}. This was not a {{OBP|skill|Shuffle}} effect (as its skill was {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Swarm}}), but rather a quality specific to Ditto itself. Some players obtained Ditto illegitimately during this time, and used its effect to gain high scores in [[competitive stage]]s from September 2015 until Ditto's official release in 2017, when the skill was changed to Shuffle's version of {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Transform}}.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonShuffle/comments/3lyk41/explaining_the_significance_of_ditto_spoilers/ "Explaining the significance of Ditto" - MikoUK - Reddit]</ref>
* Ditto is the only [[Generation I]] Pokémon that does not have evolutionary relatives, an alternate form (such as a [[regional variant]], [[Gigantamax]] form, or [[Mega Evolution]]), or a strong association with another Pokémon that it does not share an evolutionary line with (like the [[Mew duo]]).
*Ditto has the most [[sleep style]]s of any Pokémon, with a total of 11.

===Glitches===
====Index 000 post-capture====
In [[Generation I]], if the player manages to capture an [['M (00)]], it will still be in battle with the player, and the battle will not end. Catching 'M (00) again results in the second one becoming a Ditto of the same level.

====Transform glitches====
{{main|List of Transform glitches}}

===Origin ===
{{Bulbanews|Unused Pokémon design revealed in magazine interview}}
In the sixth issue of {{wp|Best Buy}}'s @Gamer magazine, Game Freak developers [[Junichi Masuda]] and [[Ken Sugimori]] revealed that Ditto was originally based on the iconic {{wp|smiley}} face. Its eyes and mouth are exactly like ":)", which is an emoticon representing the smiley.

Additionally, Ditto strongly resembles an ''{{wp|amoeba}}'', a single-celled organism with no definite shape. This may emphasize its ability to alter its cellular composition. This could also explain why Ditto is unavailable through breeding, since single-celled organisms reproduce differently from multi-cellular plants and animals. It also could partially be based on an {{wp|Cellular differentiation|undifferentiated cell}}, a cell in the body that can change into any other cell by sampling it. In addition, it could have been based on a {{wp|blob}} or {{wp|modeling clay}}.

Ditto's ability to change into other beings is reminiscent of a variety of mythical creatures like {{wp|changeling}}s, {{wp|doppelgänger}}s, or {{wp|skin-walker}}s.

====Name origin====
Ditto is literally ''ditto'' (that which was stated before; copy of a document; imitation).

Metamon may be a combination of ''metamorphose'' (to undergo a physical transformation) or ''meta-'' (prefix meaning "encompassing" or "transcending", which may refer to {{m|Transform}} allowing Ditto to take on the shape of every other Pokémon) and ''monster''.

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

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

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

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

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

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

==Biology==
[[File:HOME0845Go.png|thumb|left|250px|A Pikachu who has been accidentally partially {{a|Gulp Missile|swallowed}} by a {{p|Cramorant}}]]
Pikachu is a short, chubby {{wp|rodent}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It is covered in yellow fur with two horizontal brown stripes on its back. It has a small mouth, long, pointed ears with black tips, and brown eyes. Each cheek is a red circle that contains a pouch for electricity storage. It has short forearms with five fingers on each paw, and its feet each have three toes. At the base of its lightning bolt-shaped tail is a patch of brown fur. A [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|female]] Pikachu has a "V"-shaped notch at the end of its tail, which looks like the top of a heart. It is classified as a quadruped, but it has been known to stand and walk on its hind legs; therefore, Pikachu is a facultative biped.

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

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

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

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

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

</div>

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

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

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

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

{{-}}

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

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

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

|}

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

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

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

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

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

====In the spin-off games====
* [[Pokémon Stadium]]: Pikachu stars in the mini-game "Thundering Dynamo" alongside {{p|Voltorb}}. This mini-game involves charging up electric power.
* [[Hey You, Pikachu!]]: Pikachu stars alongside an unnamed child (who bears a striking resemblance to Red) who was recently taught how to interact with wild {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} by [[Professor Oak]]. The boy and Pikachu form a bond and go on many adventures together, and one day, Pikachu decides to live with the boy.
* {{g|Stadium 2}}: Pikachu can be used in "Pichu's Power Plant" if it is [[transfer]]red from another game.
* {{g|Pinball}}: Pikachu serves as a Ball-Saver, but it will only work if the Lightning Meter is full.
* {{g|Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire}}: Pikachu has the same role as in Pokémon Pinball, but is sometimes helped by Pichu. Pikachu also appears on the Catch 'Em Mode banner.
* {{g|Channel}}: Much like Hey You, Pikachu!, this game focuses on a boy and a Pikachu bonding through social interactions, such as going outside and talking to other Pokémon, and watching TV together.
* [[Pokémon Pokopia]]: A Pikachu named [[Peakychu]] is a supporting character in the game.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

===Main series===
====Major appearances====
=====[[Ash's Pikachu]]=====
[[Ash Ketchum]] has a Pikachu that he obtained from {{an|Professor Oak}} in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', the first episode of {{aniseries|PTS}}, which also marked the species' debut. He was the main {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} character of the animated series from the [[original series]] to {{aniseries|JN}} and appeared in almost every non-special episode and every [[Pokémon movie]] released throughout that point. In ''[[JN013|The Climb to Be the Very Best!]]'', he was revealed to be capable of [[Gigantamax]]ing. He always [[Walking Pokémon|remains outside]] of his {{i|Poké Ball}}.

=====[[Pikachutwo]]=====
In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} cloned Ash's Pikachu. This Pikachu can be distinguished from Ash's due to the spikes in the black marks found on 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. It reappeared in the sequel special ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'' and the remake movie ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]''.

=====[[Puka]]=====
A Pikachu [[nickname]]d Puka was owned by {{OBP|Victor|EP067}} on {{an|Seafoam Island}} in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]''. This blue-eyed Pikachu saved Ash from drowning by having the ability to sense tidal waves approaching.

=====[[Sparky]]=====
[[Ritchie]] 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, and, unlike Ash's Pikachu, has no problem with living inside a Poké Ball.

=====[[Ashachu]]=====
Ash was [[Human–Pokémon transformation|turned into a Pikachu]] in ''[[EP241|Hocus Pokémon]]'' by a Pokémon magician named {{OBP|Lily|EP241}}. He reverted to his human self at the beginning of [[EP242|the next episode]].

=====[[Cosplay Pikachu]]=====
All of the Cosplay Pikachu appeared in ''[[XY078|Lights! Camera! Pika!]]'', under the ownership of [[Frank]]. They reappeared in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', where they were all summoned by {{an|Hoopa}} as part of a prank on Ash and his Pikachu.

=====[[Ash's Pikachu (M20)]]=====
In the ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'' alternate continuity, {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20}} has a Pikachu who is his first Pokémon and his main partner, almost always remaining outside of his Poké Ball.

=====[[Goh's Pikachu]]=====
[[Goh]] {{pkmn2|caught}} a Pikachu in [[JN035|''Gotta Catch a'' What?!]]. She, along with a few others of her kind, later evolved into Raichu during the episode.

=====[[Captain Pikachu]]=====

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

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

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

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

* The Pikachu family is the only evolutionary family to have access to [[Mega Evolution]], exclusive Z-Moves, and [[Gigantamax]].
* When starting a [[new game]] in {{game|Yellow}}, Pikachu's front sprite appears with a slightly different [[List of color palettes by index number in Generation I|color palette]] (the palette index number 0x10) than usual when it is introduced by [[Professor Oak]]. This is the same red/yellow palette used for {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Mewtwo}}, and {{p|Jynx}} (except the [[Virtual Console]] Jynx), as well as the {{pkmn|battle}} sprites of all [[Pokémon Trainer]]s.
** Due to the color palette used at the start of Pokémon Yellow, Pikachu has red cheeks (in the [[Game Boy Color]]) or pink cheeks (in the [[Super Game Boy]]). However, in this game's normal gameplay, Pikachu has dark orange cheeks instead.
* In {{game|Yellow}} and from [[Generation VI]] to {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, Pikachu uses its {{pkmn|animated series}} [[cry]] ([[Voice acting in the Pokémon games|voiced]] by [[Ikue Otani]]). Before Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, it was the only Pokémon to do so in the core series games.
** Its battle cry differs from status or [[Pokédex]] screens.
** The {{OBP|Pikachu|Yellow}} received at the beginning of {{game|Yellow}} has unique [[Voice acting in the Pokémon games|voice clips]] in [[Pokémon Stadium]] and {{pkmn|Stadium 2}}.
** From {{g|Legends: Arceus}} onward, Pikachu's cry switched to a slightly modified version of its pre-Gen VI cry.
* Pikachu is the only core series first partner Pokémon that does not have a 7:1 gender ratio.
* {{game4|BWB2W2}} are the only core series games in which Pikachu cannot be obtained without transporting or through an event.
* Pikachu is the only not fully evolved Pokémon whose [[base stats]] increased in Generation VI, as well as the only Pokémon to receive more than one stat increase: Defense and Special Defense.
* Pikachu is the 25th Pokémon in both the [[National Pokédex]] and [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number in Pokémon Sun and Moon|Alola Pokédex]] in {{g|Sun and Moon}}.
* In the Japanese {{jpn|Pokémon Stadium}}, Pikachu is the only usable Pokémon that is not fully [[Evolution|evolved]].
* Pikachu is the only Pokémon that can be caught in all three pinball titles: {{g|Pinball}}, {{g|Pinball mini}}, and {{g|Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire}}.
* According to ''[[A Sneak Peek at Pokémon]]'', Pikachu can deliver a constant current of 1000 {{wp|ampere}}s.
* Pikachu is currently represented in the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}} by more cards than any other Pokémon, with {{#expr: {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Pikachu (TCG)}} - 1}} unique cards.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

'''Snorlax''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カビゴン''' ''Kabigon'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Munchlax}} when [[friendship Evolution|leveled up with high friendship]].

Snorlax can [[Gigantamax]] into '''Gigantamax Snorlax''' if it has the {{DL|Gigantamax|Gigantamax Factor}}.

In Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}} games, their [[remake]]s, and {{g|X and Y}}, [[Wild Pokémon|wild]] Snorlax can be found sleeping in inconvenient locations. In order to catch one, a [[Pokémon Trainer]] must first awaken it with music from either a [[Poké Flute]] or the [[Pokégear]] set to the Poké Flute channel.

Snorlax is the [[game mascot]] of {{g|Sleep}}, appearing on the game's logo.

==Biology==
[[File:Snorlax swimming.png|thumb|left|220px|Snorlax swimming in the sea]]
Snorlax is a huge, bipedal, dark blue-green {{wp|mammal}}ian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a cream-colored face, belly, and feet. Its body is composed of mostly its belly, as its limbs are comparatively small. Its head is large with small, pointed ears, and two pointed teeth protruding from its lower jaw. It has round feet, which both have three claws and a circular brown paw pad, and short arms with five claws on each hand. Snorlax's bulk makes it the [[List of Pokémon by weight|heaviest]] {{t|Normal}} type.

Snorlax is often found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountains and forests}}. It wakes up only to eat, requiring between 880-900 lbs. (399-400 kg) of food per day before returning to its slumber, although it can also eat while it is resting. It is not a picky eater, as its strong stomach allows it to eat even moldy food without feeling any ill effects. Once a Snorlax enters its slumber, it is almost impossible to wake it up. A [[Poké Flute]] is one of the few things that can awaken Snorlax from its slumber. It can even handle thorny plants or {{p|Muk}}'s poison. Snorlax is docile enough to let children and small Pokémon bounce on its large stomach. Despite its apparent laziness, however, Snorlax can exhibit tremendous power when prompted. In the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP094|Snack Attack]]'', Snorlax is shown to be capable of swimming in the water. Snorlax is known to appear without warning in villages and steal their food supplies, such as rice granaries, which has long been considered a disaster whenever it happens. Snorlax also tends to sleep on areas with bridges, often blocking others from crossing through. [[Professor Neroli]] does research on Snorlax, particularly on their ability to attract Pokémon around them to sleep. A lot of Pokémon tend to gather around Snorlax to sleep near it or on it.

Snorlax is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Pulverizing Pancake}}.
{{left clear}}
===Forms===
[[File:143Snorlax-Gigantamax 2.png|thumb|left|250px|Gigantamax Snorlax attacking]]
Snorlax has a [[Gigantamax]] form.

As Gigantamax Snorlax, seeds and small pebbles that were tangled in its belly fur go through immense growth, causing patches of grass, bushes, rocks, and a large tree to sprout upon its belly. The tree has three red clouds circling it. The {{Berries}} that grow on Gigantamax Snorlax's tree include a [[Sitrus Berry]], a [[Magost Berry]], and a [[Haban Berry]].

Gigantamax Snorlax almost never moves; even when in battle it only slightly lifts its body and attacks by flailing with its arms and legs. However, its attacks are very powerful — Gigantamax Snorlax is considered to be one of the strongest [[Dynamax]] Pokémon to have been discovered.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/gigantamax-snorlax/ Gigantamax Snorlax | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>

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

===Evolution===
Snorlax evolves from {{p|Munchlax}}.

==Game data==
====In the core series====
*These notable Trainers have a Snorlax:
** {{ga|Red}} owns a Snorlax in all appearances as the NPC. As Red is represpentative of the [[player character]] from the [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]] [[Kanto]]-based games, it is likely one of two Snorlax found throughout the games. Snorlax is one of Red's most recurring and representative Pokémon, appearing frequently beside his {{tp|Red|Pikachu}} and {{p|Venusaur}}.
** [[Anabel]]'s main partner is a Snorlax, who appears in all battles against the player in {{g|Emerald}} and [[Generation VII]].
** [[Barry]]'s {{p|Munchlax}} evolves into his Snorlax throughout the plot of {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} and their remakes, {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}.
** [[Koji Nishino]], a real developer at [[GAME FREAK]] uses a Snorlax in [[Generation V]]. A reference to how the Pokémon was modeled after him.
** In [[Generation VII]], [[Professor Kukui]] uses a Snorlax against the player at the [[Alola Pokémon League]].
** Also in Generation VII, the [[Masked Royal]] will use a Snorlax in optional battles in the [[Battle Royal Dome]]. This may be considered the same Snorlax as Kukui's.
** [[Hop]] will use a Snorlax partway through {{g|Sword and Shield}}. He will rotate in and out of its usage.
** In {{g|Sword and Shield}} another GAME FREAK staff member, [[Shigeki Morimoto]], also uses a Snorlax. This Snorlax can [[Gigantamax]].
** [[Kamado]] has a Snorlax in all battles against the player in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. It can be seen as a parallel to [[Professor Rowan]]'s own {{p|Munchlax}}.
*A Snorlax appears on the [[Pokétch]]'s timer.

===NPC appearances===
====In the spin-off games====
* {{vg|Pokémon Ranger}}: Snorlax will be seen sleeping throughout the game, effectively cutting off certain areas until later on. It will eventually remain in a cave in the [[Sekra Range]]. Once the rest of the [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Ranger Browser]] has been completed, it will wake up and can be captured.
* [[Pokémon Sleep]]: {{Sleep|Snorlax}} is a central character in the game, attracting other Pokémon to sleep beside it via Drowsy Power.
* [[Pokémon Pokopia]]: A Snorlax named [[Mosslax]] is a supporting character in the game.

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

==Other appearances==
[[File:Snorlax SSBB.png|thumb|200px|Snorlax in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]===
When released from a {{i|Poké Ball}}, Snorlax will ascend into the air before descending over a large area of the screen with a {{m|Body Slam}} that sends any opponent underneath flying.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Snorlax does the same maneuver as it did in the previous game, but covers a smaller area.

Snorlax is also a [[Poké Floats|Poké Float]]. It is lying down asleep and so fighting occurs on its head and belly.

====Melee trophy information====
''Snorlax love to sleep and love to eat: these portly Pokémon get grumpy if they don't get 888 pounds of food per day. After snacking out, they always nap. They have cast-iron stomachs and can eat moldy and even rotten food with no digestion problems. They are the heaviest Pokémon on record, weighing in at over 1,000 pounds.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Snorlax once again performs the same maneuver as the previous games.

====Brawl trophy information====
''"A Sleeping Pokémon. It's the ultimate loafer. Sometimes children like to play on top its big belly. Once in a slumber, not even the hardest rain or the fiercest wind will wake it. Snorlax recovers health and restores its physical state by sleeping, and it proves daunting with its damaging {{m|Snore}} attack. Snorlax is the king of Sleeping Pokémon."''

===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
[[File:Snorlax SSB4.png|thumb|240px|Snorlax in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS.]]
[[File:Snorlax_3DS_trophy_SSB4.png|thumb|left|150px|Snorlax trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'']]
Snorlax reappears as a Poké Ball summon in these games, behaving the same way as before.

Snorlax also appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.

It is also a tour item in the Wii U version's Smash Tour. If a player uses it on the board, they are unable to be launched for that turn.

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''This sleepy, Normal-type Pokémon is huge! It eats more than 900 lb. of food every day. Most of the time not spent eating is spent sleeping. That big, round body comes in handy when it's brought onto a Smash Bros. battlefield—the Body Slam attack will send anyone who gets hit flying into the air!''

'''PAL''': ''Snorlax is often referred to as the Sleeping Pokémon, and there's a good reason for that! This giant loafer spends almost all its time snoozing, getting up for just long enough each day to scoff up a tidy 400kg of food. In this game, it soars into the air and uses its Body Slam attack, smacking into fighters like a giant wrecking ball.''
{{-}}

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Snorlax reappears as a Poké Ball summon, retaining its behavior from past games. It also appears as a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}}. In the Spirit Battle, Snorlax, who is depicted as a giant gray King K. Rool, is immobile but has 500 HP and slowly regains HP. The player fails if they cannot KO Snorlax before the time runs out.

==Trivia==
* In several 3D games, such as in the core series and [[Pokémon Stadium series]], Snorlax open their eyes when they faint.
* In [[Pokémon Snap]], Snorlax stands up and dances to the music when the [[Poké Flute]] is used.
* In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, if the {{player}} interacts with a Snorlax that is {{pkmn2|walking}} with them while at [[Mt. Silver]], the message "SNORLAX is feeling very eager" will appear. This is due to {{ga|Red}}, who is also at Mt. Silver, owning a Snorlax as well. While the player is on Mt. Silver, unique messages will also appear if the player interacts with a walking {{p|Pikachu}} or {{p|Charizard}}.
* In {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, Snorlax is programmed to be able to learn {{m|Charm}} through {{pkmn|breeding}}, but no other Pokémon in the {{egg2|Monster}} can legitimately learn it to pass down as an [[Egg Move]] in those games. In [[Generation III]] on, Snorlax can inherit the move from {{p|Bulbasaur}} by chain breeding.
* Snorlax's evolutionary line is the only one to have all of its members appear from a {{i|Poké Ball}} within a single [[Super Smash Bros.]] game.
* In {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, Snorlax is the only Pokémon to receive a +40 catch rate modifier when a [[Heavy Ball]] is used.
** In {{game|Crystal}}, a [[List of glitches in Generation II#Heavy Ball junk data glitch|bug]] causes the capture formula for the [[Heavy Ball]] to incorrectly retrieve the weights of {{p|Kadabra}}, {{p|Tauros}}, and {{p|Sunflora}}, so they also get a +40 catch rate modifier.
* Snorlax is the only {{DL|List of Pokémon by color|black}} Pokémon introduced in Generation I.
* Snorlax is tied with {{p|Gengar}} for the most [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', with a total of 7.
* Snorlax is the subject of a campaign known as [[Project Snorlax]], which was launched by [[The Pokémon Company]] on March 17, 2023.
* Snorlax's English name was suggested by Bill Giese, who assisted in the naming of many [[Generation I]] Pokémon.<ref name=MonsterKids />
* Snorlax, {{p|Pikachu}}, and {{p|Eevee}} are the only Pokémon to have access to both [[Gigantamax]] and an exclusive [[Z-Move]].
** Snorlax is the only fully-evolved Pokémon with this distinction.

===Design variations===
{{main|Pokémon controversies#Four-fingered hands|Pokémon controversies → Four-fingered hands}}
Snorlax was originally depicted with an inconsistent number of claws on its hands. In its original artwork for {{game|Red and Green|s}}, Snorlax had four claws on each of its hands. This is also seen in the early {{pkmn|manga}}, such as [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] and [[Ash and Pikachu]], and in Snorlax's [[Bandai Pokémon Carddass Cards|Carddass]] card art.

In its artwork for {{game|Red and Blue|s}} and its front sprites prior to {{game|Emerald}}, as well as in early depictions in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, Snorlax only has three visible claws on each hand. Notably, despite having five fingers in its artwork for {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, only three claws are visible in its front sprite for those games.

Snorlax has always been depicted with five fingers in {{aniseries|PTS}}, including the [[original series]], and from Emerald onward, it is consistently depicted with five fingers across media.

A few of Snorlax's early sprites and artwork can be seen below. For the rest of Snorlax's sprites, see its [[#Sprites|Sprites]] section. For more images, see [[a:Category:Snorlax|Snorlax images on the Bulbagarden Archives]].

===Concept and development===
Snorlax was designed by [[Ken Sugimori]].<ref>[https://www.yomiuri.co.jp/fukayomi/20180501-OYT8T50139/1/ Page 1 of Yomiuri interview] with [[Ken Sugimori]], [[Kōji Nishino]], and [[Atsuko Nishida]] (Japanese)</ref>

===Origin===
Snorlax's appearance and behavior of constantly eating and sleeping were directly inspired by [[Game Freak]] planner [[Kōji Nishino]].<ref>[https://www.yomiuri.co.jp/fukayomi/20180501-OYT8T50139/2/ Page 2 of Yomiuri interview] with [[Ken Sugimori]], [[Kōji Nishino]], and [[Atsuko Nishida]] (Japanese)</ref><ref name=GameInformer /> Additionally, Snorlax may be loosely based on {{wp|hibernation|hibernating}} {{wp|bear}}s or {{wp|teddy bear}}s. It may also be based on a {{wp|Postprandial somnolence|food coma}}, as it eats large quantities of food, then takes a nap, both of which are symptomatic of the condition. Snorlax's Gigantamax form resembles a small hill or nature park.

====Name origin====
Snorlax is a combination of ''snore'' and ''[[Wiktionary:lax|lax]]'' or ''[[Wiktionary:lackadaisical|lackadaisical]]''. It was reportedly derived from ''Esquilax'', the name of a nonexistent medieval creature described in ''{{wp|The Simpsons}}'' episode "{{wp|Lisa's Wedding}}".<ref name=MonsterKids>Dockery, Daniel (October 4, 2022). ''[[Monster Kids: How Pokémon Taught a Generation to Catch Them All]]''. Running Press. p. 33. ISBN 978-0762479504.</ref> Snorlax may also involve ''relax''.<ref>(2006). ''[[Pokémon Fan (US)|Pokémon Fan]]: 10th Anniversary News Booklet'', p. 8 ([https://archive.org/details/10-anni-book/ Archive])</ref>

Kabigon is derived from ''{{wk|Kirby}}'' (Japanese: カービィ ''Kābī''), the eponymous main character of [[Nintendo]]'s {{wk|Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' video game series}}. In an interview with Game Informer, [[Junichi Masuda]] stated that Kōji Nishino, the main inspiration for Snorlax, used to be called "Kirby" by Game Freak staff as a nod to his large appetite.<ref name=GameInformer>Shea, Brian (October 24, 2019). "[https://web.archive.org/web/20230805233026/https://www.gameinformer.com/interview/2019/10/24/more-burning-questions-for-the-pokemon-series More Burning Questions For The Pokémon Series]."

'''Ditto''' (Japanese: '''メタモン''' ''Metamon'') is the main protagonist of {{g|Pokopia}}. Taking the form of a human, Ditto uses its abilities of {{m|Transform|transformation}} to imitate the [[Move|moves]] of the Pokémon residing in the area with the goal of creating a paradise.

==In the games==
{{missing image|needs=Screenshots of Cut, Rototiller, Surf and Glide and Ditto's new inhale ability seen in the February 24, 2026 Nintendo Treehouse presentation. https://youtu.be/3Hsv-oFuvVs}}
Ditto finds a discarded [[Pokédex]], with a picture of a [[Pokémon Trainer]] alongside a Ditto. Upon discovering the strange device, Ditto proceeds to copy the form of the Trainer, setting off on its own adventure. With the help of the nearby Pokémon, Ditto is able to replicate the moves of many different Pokémon, collecting building material such as wood and rocks to create a paradise for it and the other Pokémon living in the area.

===Personality and characteristics===
Currently, not much is known about Ditto's life prior to the start of Pokémon Pokopia. It is implied to have been captured at some point, as the game's reveal trailer has it come out of a [[Poké Ball (item)|Poké Ball]]. Unusual of its species, Ditto appears to maintain its humanlike form at all times, instead making alterations to specific sections of its body when necessary for imitation, such as transforming its arms into plant stems to use {{m|Leafage}}. As a Pokémon, Ditto is capable of understanding the speech of other Pokémon; by listening to the wants and likes of the Pokémon on the island, Ditto uses its power of mimicry to create a habitat that best suits the nearby residents. Due to this, it appears to be a benevolent Pokémon that uses its powers to improve life for its fellow Pokémon.

===History===
====Pre-series====
[[File:Lucius and Rayquaza.png|thumb|left|250px|Lucius, Rystal, Pagogo, and the Black Rayquaza traveling together]]
100 years prior to the events of the series, Lucius discovered the existences of a mysterious Pokémon paradise named [[Laqua]] in fairytales, with that motivation, Lucius decided to go on a {{pkmn|journey}} to find it alongside his {{Shiny|Black}} [[Black Rayquaza|Rayquaza]]. As theorized by [[Briar]] and [[Friede]] in ''[[HZ071|Encounters at the Crystal Pool]]'', Lucius at some point gained a copy of the [[Scarlet Book]], which led him to learn about {{P|Terapagos}}. One day, Lucius noticed a woman named [[Rystal]] carrying a Pokémon being chased by thieves, as he arrived in time to save them. Seeing that Rystal had a Terapagos that she [[nickname]]d [[Pagogo]], Lucius became excited to meet it in person. Lucius was then joined by Rystal as she expressed her desire to travel with him, which he accepted. During their journey, Lucius and Rystal met all kinds of Pokémon, five of them even joined the duo on their mission to find Laqua. Alongside Rayquaza, they became known as the [[Six Heroes]]. One of them was a {{DL|Six Heroes|Kleavor}} in [[Hisui]], Lucius saved it from a group of angry villagers and during the encounter, his Lapras was injured by the Kleavor. Despite this, Kleavor joined Lucius, who decided to set off on the journey again alongside Rystal. At some point, Lucius also asked {{DL|Six Heroes|Arboliva}} to look for something currently unknown.
[[File:The original Explorers.png|thumb|right|250px|Lucius, [[Gibeon]], and [[Rystal]], the original [[Explorers]]]]
While looking for leads on Laqua, Rystal and Lucius meet a man named [[Gibeon]], as he joined them on their journey thanks to their shared interest in Laqua. Later, they co-founded the group known as the [[Explorers]]. However, little did Lucius know, Rystal became pregnant with their {{OBP|Layla|Horizons|child}}. Together, they traveled through various [[region]]s until they found Laqua. The three admird the beautiful paradise and they saw various Legendary Pokémon leaving peacefully there. Wondering how such a prosperous environment was created, they explored further in and discovered some pink crystals known as [[Laquium]], which stimulated the growth of the plants around it, so much actually that it started devastating the land. Lucius and Rystal decided to leave Laqua, worried that the crystal's power could negatively influence them. However, Gibeon disagreed and started using his [[White Zygarde|Zygarde]] to dig the crystals out, fascinated by their powers, but the crystals started to expand and spread pink mist around, causing many [[wild Pokémon]] to go feral, and the plant life to grow out of control and wither simultaneously. Fearing they might bring the destruction of the [[Pokémon world|world]], Lucius called to his Six Heroes to stop it and even Gibeon's Zygarde tried to help, only to have 40% of its [[Zygarde Cell|Cells]] blown away, reducing it to a 10% Forme Zygarde. Gibeon fell into a crack created by the crystals, but Lucius and Rystal refused to give up: Pagogo then changed into its Stellar Form and, alongside the Six Heroes, stopped the crystals's expansion with a barrier, but Lucius remained trapped and was eventually encased into the Laquium, which kept him alive, but dormant from then on. Fortunately, Rystal was able to escape and raise their daughter Layla on her own, but Lucius would never get to meet her.

Many years later, Layla's own daughter [[Diana]] found a briefcase in her home's attic as a young girl, inside it she found the dormant [[Pagogo]] and Lucius's old diary. The text in the diary motivated her to travel on her own journey to find out if these stories were real, unaware that the writer was her grandfather. At some point in her journey, Diana also somehow found Lucius's empty belt.

As revealed during a flashback in ''[[HZ087|Guided by the Black Rayquaza!]]'', Lucius was awakened by the voice of Gibeon's Zygarde, who told him that it had been observing Laqua and the rest of the world for 100 years, agreeing with him that the Laquium was dangerous as it kept expanding over Laqua. Over the course of the series, Zygarde regularly told Lucius what was happening outside, including about the reformed Explorers and the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] seeking the [[Six Heroes]].

===={{aniseries|HZ}}====
[[File:Six Heroes storybook.png|250px|left|thumb|Lucius and the [[Six Heroes]] as depicted in [[Alex]]'s book]]
The still unnamed Ancient Adventurer was first mentioned by [[Roy]] when describing his feats to [[Liko]] in ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]''. Lucius briefly appeared in a fantasy in ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'' when Roy told his [[Roy's grandfather|grandfather]] about his dreams.

A real vision of Lucius was first shown in ''[[HZ012|The Future I Choose]]'', just after the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] helped restore a [[Arboliva's Forest|forest]] that had been destroyed by a wildfire, the Pokémon in Liko's pendant came to life. With {{p|Arboliva}}'s assistance, the Pokémon showed Liko and Roy a vision of the past where Lucius asked Arboliva to look for something. Later, Liko and Roy read a book by [[Alex|Liko's father]] that told the history of Lucius's adventures, based on stories told by Liko's grandmother [[Diana]].
[[File:Lucius diary and belt.png|right|thumb|250px|Lucius's diary and belt]]
Lucius appeared again in a vision for Liko, Roy, and [[Friede]] in ''[[HZ023|Fiery Galarian Moltres]]''. This time, the mysterious adventurer was seen talking to Moltres about achieving [[Laqua]]. In the [[HZ024|next episode]], Diana revealed that she found a diary in her childhood with memories of Lucius's adventures. She also revealed that Laqua is the name of the paradise that Lucius was looking for and that at some point Terapagos was with Lucius on this journey.

In ''[[HZ025|Rivals in the Dark of Night!]]'', Liko read Lucius' memories where he left a message inspiring people to live in harmony with Pokémon while together seeking a better future. Diana also revealed the identity of Lucius' remaining Pokémon that were lost around the world; {{p|Lapras}}, {{p|Kleavor}}, and {{p|Gouging Fire|Entei}}. In ''[[HZ026|Terapagos's Adventure]]'', Diana showed Liko a photograph of Lucius. She also took advantage and gave her Lucius' belt where he carried his former companions' Poké Ball. Lucius appeared in a fantasy in ''[[HZ057|The Terapagos I Don't Know]]'' alongside Terapagos while [[Raifort]] told Liko and her friends the story of Laqua.

In ''[[HZ071|Encounters at the Crystal Pool]]'', Liko showed Briar the work written by Lucius in his diary, which led the group to go to the shore of the [[Crystal Pool]] with Terapagos to try to find the spirit of the Legendary Trainer, but they did not have any answers at that time, which made them decide to meet again when Briar had more answers.

In ''[[HZ074|The Three Explorers]]'', Lucius appeared in a fantasy. After reuniting with Diana, the Rising Volt Tacklers discovered some details about Lucius's life and his relationship with the Explorers. Later, Liko and Diana discovered that they had blood ties to the legendary adventurer.

Once Liko and the Rising Volt Tacklers managed to gather the Six Heroes in ''[[HZ082|Beyond the Shining Rainbow]]'', Lucius appeared in a final vision to the group alongside Rystal and Gibeon, about to enter Laqua.
[[File:Lucius and Terapagos.png|left|thumb|250px|Lucius freed in the present day and reuniting with [[Pagogo]] after 100 years]]
In ''[[HZ083|The Truth Revealed!]]'', [[Hamber]] recounted Gibeon's vision for the events with Lucius to [[Amethio]], thus making Amethio believe that in reality Lucius betrayed Gibeon's trust. Hamber also revealed to Amethio that Liko is a descendant of Lucius and how the current events may be a work of destiny that has waited about a hundred years to happen.
[[File:HZ089.png|thumb|right|250px|Lucius and [[Gibeon]] fading away due to the destruction of [[Laquium]]]]
In ''[[HZ087|Guided by the Black Rayquaza!]]'', after Gibeon began using [[White Zygarde|Zygarde]]'s power and the Six Heroes and Pagogo joined forces, Lucius "awakened" in the present day. Explaining to Liko and the other Rising Volt Tacklers that he had been aware of everything that had happened over the past hundred years with Zygarde's help, Lucius confronted Gibeon, warning him of how damaging the use of Laquium would be to the world. Trying to remember the old days, Gibeon warned that it was too late and with the help of [[Spinel]] they began mining the Laquium that was in Laqua. Although Zygarde's perspective on the Laquium still differed from Gibeon's, it decided to team up with its Trainer in order to test Amethio, Liko, Roy, and [[Dot]].

In ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', after the Laquium was purified by Pagogo and the Six Heroes, Lucius and Gibeon began to fade away, due to the Laquium keeping them alive being gone. Lucius released the Six Heroes from their Ancient Poké Balls, before fading away peacefully with Gibeon, saying that Rystal was waiting for them. Later in the episode, due to the destruction caused by the Six Heroes, Liko tripped and dropped Lucius's belt, Ancient Poké Balls, and diary into a fissure, but Friede reassured them that his story will live as long as they remember it.

===Character===
Although much of Lucius is based on legend and myth, his deeds have resonated for years. This meant that the stories of Lucius's deeds inspired several Trainers across the last century, such as [[Roy]] and [[Diana]]. He was also shown to be really adventurous, travelling to many different regions with the goal of reaching the Laqua paradise. During the flashbacks in which he was seen, it was shown that Lucius had a deep connection with all of his Pokémon. During a flashback shown in ''[[HZ081|The Pillar of Fire]]'', Lucius was shown to have a more relaxed and cheerful side as he tried to get closer to his Pokémon.
[[File:Lucius left in Laqua.png|thumb|left|250px|Lucius remaining in [[Laqua]] after the [[Laquium]] is sealed by [[Pagogo]] and the [[Six Heroes]]]]
As revealed in ''[[HZ075|The Wonders of the World!]]'', Lucius was a founding member of the [[Explorers]], alongside his allies Rystal and Gibeon. During the flashback in ''[[HZ073|Kleavor the Solitary Warrior]]'', Lucius was shown to be compassionate, protecting and freeing a Kleavor from angered villagers who had just captured it for terrorizing their village. Even when the Kleavor tried attacking him after being freed, scarring his Lapras in the process, Lucius still offered it a chance to join them in their journey to Laqua. Lucius was shown to be selfless and self-sacrificing, as he chose to stay behind on Laqua to keep the Laquium crystals in check, regardless of his own safety.

Even after 100 years trapped within [[Laquium]], Lucius did not change one bit, staying positive and warmly welcoming the Rising Volt Tacklers to [[Laqua]] and specially congratulating his descendant [[Liko]] and his biggest fan Roy for their progress. Lucius was a wise person who wished to protect the world from threats like Laquium, which Lucius believed to have a power that goes against the natural order of the world and that'll only lead to destruction. With the help of Pagogo and the Six Heroes, he planned to rid the world of it once and for all, even if it meant him fading away, believing the world must be left to the next generation.

Lucius had a complicated relationship with Gibeon, who believed Lucius and Rystal had betrayed him 100 years ago. Lucius never intended to do that, however, wishing they could've talked more in the past, even apologizing to Gibeon for their fight, but Gibeon refused to accept it, claiming it was too late now. After Zygarde left Gibeon, Lucius explained that he had only lost because of the bonds between Liko and her Meowscarada, which Gibeon, as a scientist, couldn't understand the logic behind, but Lucius asked him if Zygarde only sided with him to show what the bonds between people and Pokémon can really do, which seemed to finally make Gibeon reflect. With this, Lucius and Gibeon finally reconciled and peacefully faded away to see Rystal once again.

===Pokémon===
[[File:Lucius Six Heroes HZ089.png|thumb|right|250px|Lucius and his Pokémon, the [[Six Heroes]]]]
100 years ago, Lucius traveled alongside six Pokémon that he encountered through the various [[region]]s he traveled to during his {{pkmn|journey}}. Collectively, they were known as the '''[[Six Heroes]]''', and each of them had a specific purpose. After an explosion created by the [[Laquium]] crystals in [[Laqua]], Lucius's Poké Balls were scattered around the world while he was kept trapped within the paradise. When Lucius passed away in ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', his Pokémon were released from their Poké Balls.

Lucius kept all his Pokémon in [[Ancient Poké Ball]]s.

===History===
====Pre-series====
[[File:Lucius and Rayquaza.png|thumb|left|250px|Lucius, Rystal, Pagogo, and the Black Rayquaza traveling together]]
100 years prior to the events of the series, Lucius discovered the existences of a mysterious Pokémon paradise named [[Laqua]] in fairytales, with that motivation, Lucius decided to go on a {{pkmn|journey}} to find it alongside his {{Shiny|Black}} [[Black Rayquaza|Rayquaza]]. As theorized by [[Briar]] and [[Friede]] in ''[[HZ071|Encounters at the Crystal Pool]]'', Lucius at some point gained a copy of the [[Scarlet Book]], which led him to learn about {{P|Terapagos}}. One day, Lucius noticed a woman named [[Rystal]] carrying a Pokémon being chased by thieves, as he arrived in time to save them. Seeing that Rystal had a Terapagos that she [[nickname]]d [[Pagogo]], Lucius became excited to meet it in person. Lucius was then joined by Rystal as she expressed her desire to travel with him, which he accepted. During their journey, Lucius and Rystal met all kinds of Pokémon, five of them even joined the duo on their mission to find Laqua. Alongside Rayquaza, they became known as the [[Six Heroes]]. One of them was a {{DL|Six Heroes|Kleavor}} in [[Hisui]], Lucius saved it from a group of angry villagers and during the encounter, his Lapras was injured by the Kleavor. Despite this, Kleavor joined Lucius, who decided to set off on the journey again alongside Rystal. At some point, Lucius also asked {{DL|Six Heroes|Arboliva}} to look for something currently unknown.
[[File:The original Explorers.png|thumb|right|250px|Lucius, [[Gibeon]], and [[Rystal]], the original [[Explorers]]]]
While looking for leads on Laqua, Rystal and Lucius meet a man named [[Gibeon]], as he joined them on their journey thanks to their shared interest in Laqua. Later, they co-founded the group known as the [[Explorers]]. However, little did Lucius know, Rystal became pregnant with their {{OBP|Layla|Horizons|child}}. Together, they traveled through various [[region]]s until they found Laqua. The three admird the beautiful paradise and they saw various Legendary Pokémon leaving peacefully there. Wondering how such a prosperous environment was created, they explored further in and discovered some pink crystals known as [[Laquium]], which stimulated the growth of the plants around it, so much actually that it started devastating the land. Lucius and Rystal decided to leave Laqua, worried that the crystal's power could negatively influence them. However, Gibeon disagreed and started using his [[White Zygarde|Zygarde]] to dig the crystals out, fascinated by their powers, but the crystals started to expand and spread pink mist around, causing many [[wild Pokémon]] to go feral, and the plant life to grow out of control and wither simultaneously. Fearing they might bring the destruction of the [[Pokémon world|world]], Lucius called to his Six Heroes to stop it and even Gibeon's Zygarde tried to help, only to have 40% of its [[Zygarde Cell|Cells]] blown away, reducing it to a 10% Forme Zygarde. Gibeon fell into a crack created by the crystals, but Lucius and Rystal refused to give up: Pagogo then changed into its Stellar Form and, alongside the Six Heroes, stopped the crystals's expansion with a barrier, but Lucius remained trapped and was eventually encased into the Laquium, which kept him alive, but dormant from then on. Fortunately, Rystal was able to escape and raise their daughter Layla on her own, but Lucius would never get to meet her.

Many years later, Layla's own daughter [[Diana]] found a briefcase in her home's attic as a young girl, inside it she found the dormant [[Pagogo]] and Lucius's old diary. The text in the diary motivated her to travel on her own journey to find out if these stories were real, unaware that the writer was her grandfather. At some point in her journey, Diana also somehow found Lucius's empty belt.

As revealed during a flashback in ''[[HZ087|Guided by the Black Rayquaza!]]'', Lucius was awakened by the voice of Gibeon's Zygarde, who told him that it had been observing Laqua and the rest of the world for 100 years, agreeing with him that the Laquium was dangerous as it kept expanding over Laqua. Over the course of the series, Zygarde regularly told Lucius what was happening outside, including about the reformed Explorers and the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] seeking the [[Six Heroes]].

The still unnamed Ancient Adventurer was first mentioned by [[Roy]] when describing his feats to [[Liko]] in ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]''. Lucius briefly appeared in a fantasy in ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'' when Roy told his [[Roy's grandfather|grandfather]] about his dreams.

With {{p|Arboliva}}'s assistance, the Pokémon showed Liko and Roy a vision of the past where Lucius asked Arboliva to look for something.

[[File:Lucius diary and belt.png|right|thumb|250px|Lucius's diary and belt]]
Lucius appeared again in a vision for Liko, Roy, and [[Friede]] in ''[[HZ023|Fiery Galarian Moltres]]''. This time, the mysterious adventurer was seen talking to Moltres about achieving [[Laqua]]. In the [[HZ024|next episode]], Diana revealed that she found a diary in her childhood with memories of Lucius's adventures. She also revealed that Laqua is the name of the paradise that Lucius was looking for and that at some point Terapagos was with Lucius on this journey.

In ''[[HZ025|Rivals in the Dark of Night!]]'', Liko read Lucius' memories where he left a message inspiring people to live in harmony with Pokémon while together seeking a better future. Diana also revealed the identity of Lucius' remaining Pokémon that were lost around the world; {{p|Lapras}}, {{p|Kleavor}}, and {{p|Gouging Fire|Entei}}. In ''[[HZ026|Terapagos's Adventure]]'', Diana showed Liko a photograph of Lucius. She also took advantage and gave her Lucius' belt where he carried his former companions' Poké Ball. Lucius appeared in a fantasy in ''[[HZ057|The Terapagos I Don't Know]]'' alongside Terapagos while [[Raifort]] told Liko and her friends the story of Laqua.

In ''[[HZ071|Encounters at the Crystal Pool]]'', Liko showed Briar the work written by Lucius in his diary, which led the group to go to the shore of the [[Crystal Pool]] with Terapagos to try to find the spirit of the Legendary Trainer, but they did not have any answers at that time, which made them decide to meet again when Briar had more answers.

In ''[[HZ074|The Three Explorers]]'', Lucius appeared in a fantasy. After reuniting with Diana, the Rising Volt Tacklers discovered some details about Lucius's life and his relationship with the Explorers. Later, Liko and Diana discovered that they had blood ties to the legendary adventurer.

Once Liko and the Rising Volt Tacklers managed to gather the Six Heroes in ''[[HZ082|Beyond the Shining Rainbow]]'', Lucius appeared in a final vision to the group alongside Rystal and Gibeon, about to enter Laqua.
[[File:Lucius and Terapagos.png|left|thumb|250px|Lucius freed in the present day and reuniting with [[Pagogo]] after 100 years]]
In ''[[HZ083|The Truth Revealed!]]'', [[Hamber]] recounted Gibeon's vision for the events with Lucius to [[Amethio]], thus making Amethio believe that in reality Lucius betrayed Gibeon's trust. Hamber also revealed to Amethio that Liko is a descendant of Lucius and how the current events may be a work of destiny that has waited about a hundred years to happen.
[[File:HZ089.png|thumb|right|250px|Lucius and [[Gibeon]] fading away due to the destruction of [[Laquium]]]]
In ''[[HZ087|Guided by the Black Rayquaza!]]'', after Gibeon began using [[White Zygarde|Zygarde]]'s power and the Six Heroes and Pagogo joined forces, Lucius "awakened" in the present day. Explaining to Liko and the other Rising Volt Tacklers that he had been aware of everything that had happened over the past hundred years with Zygarde's help, Lucius confronted Gibeon, warning him of how damaging the use of Laquium would be to the world. Trying to remember the old days, Gibeon warned that it was too late and with the help of [[Spinel]] they began mining the Laquium that was in Laqua. Although Zygarde's perspective on the Laquium still differed from Gibeon's, it decided to team up with its Trainer in order to test Amethio, Liko, Roy, and [[Dot]].

In ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', after the Laquium was purified by Pagogo and the Six Heroes, Lucius and Gibeon began to fade away, due to the Laquium keeping them alive being gone. Lucius released the Six Heroes from their Ancient Poké Balls, before fading away peacefully with Gibeon, saying that Rystal was waiting for them. Later in the episode, due to the destruction caused by the Six Heroes, Liko tripped and dropped Lucius's belt, Ancient Poké Balls, and diary into a fissure, but Friede reassured them that his story will live as long as they remember it.

===Character===
Although much of Lucius is based on legend and myth, his deeds have resonated for years. This meant that the stories of Lucius's deeds inspired several Trainers across the last century, such as [[Roy]] and [[Diana]]. He was also shown to be really adventurous, travelling to many different regions with the goal of reaching the Laqua paradise. During the flashbacks in which he was seen, it was shown that Lucius had a deep connection with all of his Pokémon. During a flashback shown in ''[[HZ081|The Pillar of Fire]]'', Lucius was shown to have a more relaxed and cheerful side as he tried to get closer to his Pokémon.
[[File:Lucius left in Laqua.png|thumb|left|250px|Lucius remaining in [[Laqua]] after the [[Laquium]] is sealed by [[Pagogo]] and the [[Six Heroes]]]]
As revealed in ''[[HZ075|The Wonders of the World!]]'', Lucius was a founding member of the [[Explorers]], alongside his allies Rystal and Gibeon. During the flashback in ''[[HZ073|Kleavor the Solitary Warrior]]'', Lucius was shown to be compassionate, protecting and freeing a Kleavor from angered villagers who had just captured it for terrorizing their village. Even when the Kleavor tried attacking him after being freed, scarring his Lapras in the process, Lucius still offered it a chance to join them in their journey to Laqua. Lucius was shown to be selfless and self-sacrificing, as he chose to stay behind on Laqua to keep the Laquium crystals in check, regardless of his own safety.

Even after 100 years trapped within [[Laquium]], Lucius did not change one bit, staying positive and warmly welcoming the Rising Volt Tacklers to [[Laqua]] and specially congratulating his descendant [[Liko]] and his biggest fan Roy for their progress. Lucius was a wise person who wished to protect the world from threats like Laquium, which Lucius believed to have a power that goes against the natural order of the world and that'll only lead to destruction. With the help of Pagogo and the Six Heroes, he planned to rid the world of it once and for all, even if it meant him fading away, believing the world must be left to the next generation.

Lucius had a complicated relationship with Gibeon, who believed Lucius and Rystal had betrayed him 100 years ago. Lucius never intended to do that, however, wishing they could've talked more in the past, even apologizing to Gibeon for their fight, but Gibeon refused to accept it, claiming it was too late now. After Zygarde left Gibeon, Lucius explained that he had only lost because of the bonds between Liko and her Meowscarada, which Gibeon, as a scientist, couldn't understand the logic behind, but Lucius asked him if Zygarde only sided with him to show what the bonds between people and Pokémon can really do, which seemed to finally make Gibeon reflect. With this, Lucius and Gibeon finally reconciled and peacefully faded away to see Rystal once again.

===Pokémon===
[[File:Lucius Six Heroes HZ089.png|thumb|right|250px|Lucius and his Pokémon, the [[Six Heroes]]]]
100 years ago, Lucius traveled alongside six Pokémon that he encountered through the various [[region]]s he traveled to during his {{pkmn|journey}}. Collectively, they were known as the '''[[Six Heroes]]''', and each of them had a specific purpose. After an explosion created by the [[Laquium]] crystals in [[Laqua]], Lucius's Poké Balls were scattered around the world while he was kept trapped within the paradise. When Lucius passed away in ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', his Pokémon were released from their Poké Balls.

Lucius kept all his Pokémon in [[Ancient Poké Ball]]s.

'''Rotom''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ロトム''' ''Rotom'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Rotom has the ability to possess the motors of certain appliances and [[#Form data|change forms]]. It also learns a new [[move]] depending on which appliance it possesses. Rotom's form can be changed in by allowing it to possess the appliances in [[Rotom's Room]] or from the appliances ordered from the [[Rotom Catalog]].

* When it has not possessed any appliance or is possessing a {{wp|Electric light|light bulb}}, it is dual-type {{2t|Electric|Ghost}}, and learns {{m|Thunder Shock}} if the move it had in its other forms is the only one it knows.
* When it possesses a {{wp|microwave oven}}, it becomes '''Heat Rotom''', is dual-type {{2t|Electric|Fire}}, and learns {{m|Overheat}}.
* When it possesses a {{wp|washing machine}}, it becomes '''Wash Rotom''', is dual-type {{2t|Electric|Water}}, and learns {{m|Hydro Pump}}.
* When it possesses a {{wp|refrigerator}}, it becomes '''Frost Rotom''', is dual-type {{2t|Electric|Ice}}, and learns {{m|Blizzard}}.
* When it possesses an {{wp|Fan (machine)|electric fan}}, it becomes '''Fan Rotom''', is dual-type {{2t|Electric|Flying}}, and learns {{m|Air Slash}}.
* When it possesses a {{wp|lawn mower}}, it becomes '''Mow Rotom''', is dual-type {{2t|Electric|Grass}}, and learns {{m|Leaf Storm}}.

In [[Generation IV]], Rotom had {{t|Ghost}} as its secondary [[type]] regardless of its form.

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

In [[Generation VII]], Rotom can possess a special [[Pokédex]] and become the [[Rotom Pokédex]], which has the ability to [[Talking Pokémon|speak human language]]. In [[Generation VIII]] and [[Generation IX]], Rotom can possess a smartphone that doubles as a Pokédex and become the [[Rotom Phone]], which can also be used to power a [[Rotom Bike]]. Rotom are also used in [[Rotomi]] terminals, and [[Drone Rotom]].

==Biology==
Rotom is a small, orange {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that has a body made of plasma. It is mostly spherical, with a bulb below its body and a long pointed protrusion on top, making it shaped like a lightning rod. There is a whitish blue aura of electricity around it that forms lightning bolt-shaped appendages. When moving quickly, these appendages tend to disappear, in favor of a long similar-looking trail of blue electricity. It has teeth, and its unique, blue eyes have a dividing line across them. In its base form, Rotom cannot be touched by anyone without the latter being shocked in the process. According to the [[Rotom Catalog]], Rotom in its base form is possessing a light bulb. It lacks any sort of circulatory system or pulse.<ref>[[Rotom Pokédex]], ({{g|Sun and Moon}}): "''Waaah! If I had a pulse, it would be pounding like crazzzy right now!''"</ref>

Rotom has the ability to enter and control electronic appliances. It typically uses its abilities to cause mischief, often using the household items it possess to pull pranks on unsuspecting people, as seen in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[DP105|Get Your Rotom Running!]]''. Despite this, some Rotom have taken to inhabiting electronics with the intent of helping others. The [[Rotom Pokédex]], [[Rotom Phone]]s, [[Rotomi]], and [[Drone Rotom]] are some examples. Additionally, in [[Galar]], the Rotom Phone is used to power the [[Rotom Bike]]. Some of these forms allow Rotom to [[Talking Pokémon|speak human languages]], and demonstrate that Rotom is highly intelligent. It tends to reside in abandoned buildings. Research continues on Rotom and its ability to power unique motors. In the ''Pokémon the Series'' episode ''[[XY081|Rotom's Wish!]]'', a specific Rotom was shown to have the ability to [[time travel]].

===Forms===
[[File:Rotom parts.png|thumb|200px|left|Rotom and the appliances]]
<div style="float:right; display:flex; flex-flow:row wrap;">
[[File:Brock and Rotom.png|thumb|220px|left|Rotom transforming]]
</div>
Rotom has five alternate forms: Heat Rotom, Wash Rotom, Frost Rotom, Fan Rotom, and Mow Rotom.

Rotom's forms can be accessed by possessing specific household appliances with a special motor. When Rotom changes forms, its eyes and electric aura change colors, and its aura appendages take on different shapes. In modern [[Sinnoh]], Rotom's forms were said to have been first discovered and documented by [[Charon]]. However, Rotom existed in [[Hisui]] and was also documented in the [[List of Pokémon by Hisui Pokédex number|Hisui Pokédex]].

It has an aptitude for manipulating flames, which it uses for mischievous purposes, such as happily scorching the surrounding are or burning people's favorite outfits. Heat Rotom will become lethargic if the oven it possesses is malfunctioning.

====Wash Rotom====
Rotom transforms into Wash Rotom by inhabiting a {{wp|washing machine}}. Its appendages turn into clothespins, and its eyes and aura become blue.

It enjoys playing water-based pranks, such as spraying cold water everywhere or flooding people's rooms, and blasts enemies with water to intimidate them and incite them to retreat.

====Frost Rotom====
Rotom transforms into Frost Rotom by taking control of a {{wp|refrigerator}}. Its appendages are shaped like lightning bolts, and its eyes and aura become purple. It fights by spewing cold air, which it gleefully uses for practical jokes like freezing people's baths or its surroundings. The special motor within the refrigerator is the key to Rotom's ability to change forms.

====Fan Rotom====
Rotom turns into Fan Rotom by taking over an {{wp|mechanical fan|electric fan}}. Its appendages turn into air curls, and its eyes and aura become yellow. It can stir up powerful gusts of wind to blow away opponents, which it applies to its love for pranks by blowing away everything around it, such as important documents it finds. The electric fan that Fan Rotom inhabits was invented by a boy, and was the first Rotom-related appliance to be developed, leading to the creation of many other appliances like it.

====Mow Rotom====
Rotom turns into Mow Rotom by possessing a {{wp|lawn mower|lawn mower}}. Its appendages turn into a ripped strip, and its eyes and aura become green. focuses its antics on plants. As it mows down grass, it scatters the clippings everywhere and destroys flowers and trees. The lawn mower Mow Rotom possesses led to the development of the [[Rotom Pokédex]].

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
====In the core series====
[[File:Rotom Pokédex Talking.png|thumb|250px|The [[Rotom Pokédex]] in {{g|Sun and Moon}} appears in the bottom screen]]
* These notable Trainers own a Rotom:
** [[Colress]] uses a Wash Rotom in his post-game matches in {{B2W2}}.

====Form change====
When Rotom changes into an appliance form, it learns a new move in the same way that other Pokémon may learn new moves upon evolving; if Rotom would change from one appliance form to another and knows the special move of its current form, the old special move is automatically forgotten and Rotom learns the new one. If Rotom changes to its base form, it forgets the special move of the form it was in (if it still knows it); if the only move that Rotom knows right before reverting to its base form is the form's special move, then that move will be replaced with {{m|Thunder Shock}}. In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, reverting to the base form will teach it Thunder Shock even if it knows another move. In {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, the special moves appear through the move reminder following the form change. Heat, Wash, and Frost Rotom can also learn their respective special moves via TM.

===Form data===
Rotom has five alternate forms it can change between, in addition to its default form. To take on these alternate forms, Rotom possesses a different {{wp|home appliance|household appliance}}, and each has its own special [[move]]. These alternate forms were introduced in {{game|Platinum}}.
* When Rotom is not possessing any appliance (prior to Generation VIII) or possessing a {{wp|Electric light|light bulb}} (starting in [[Generation VIII]] except in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}), it is {{2t|Electric|Ghost}}.
* Heat Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|microwave oven}}, knows {{m|Overheat}}, and is {{2t|Electric|Fire}}.
* Wash Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|washing machine}}, knows {{m|Hydro Pump}}, and is {{2t|Electric|Water}}.
* Frost Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|refrigerator}}, knows {{m|Blizzard}}, and is {{2t|Electric|Ice}}.
* Fan Rotom, which has possessed an {{wp|Fan (machine)|electric fan}}, knows {{m|Air Slash}}, and is {{2t|Electric|Flying}}.
* Mow Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|lawn mower}}, knows {{m|Leaf Storm}}, and is {{2t|Electric|Grass}}.

In [[Generation IV]], all forms of Rotom are {{2t|Electric|Ghost}}-type; from [[Generation V]] onward, the appliance forms replace the Ghost type with the type of their associated move. All appliance forms have the same [[base stats]], with a higher total than that of Rotom's default form; the only base stat of normal Rotom that is higher than its appliance forms is its Speed.

* In Pokémon Platinum and {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl}}, the appliances are located in [[Rotom's Room]] in the [[Team Galactic Eterna Building]], which can only be accessed by using the {{si|Secret Key}}.
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the appliances are located in [[Rotom's Room]] in [[Silph Co.]], which can be accessed when entering the broken elevator with Rotom as the [[walking Pokémon]].
* In {{game4|BWB2W2}}, the appliances are located in boxes in the basement of [[Shopping Mall Nine]].
* In {{g|X and Y}}, the appliances are located in boxes on the second floor of the {{kal|Pokémon Research Lab|Sycamore Pokémon Lab}} in [[Lumiose City]].
* In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the appliances are located in boxes in [[Professor Birch]]'s lab in [[Littleroot Town]].
* In {{game4|SMUSUM}}, the appliances are located in boxes in the basement of [[Professor Kukui]]'s lab in [[Alola Route 1|Hau'oli Outskirts]].
* In {{g|Sword and Shield|Sword, Shield}}, {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, Shining Pearl}}, and {{g|Scarlet and Violet|Scarlet, and Violet}}, the [[Rotom Catalog]] appears as a [[Key Item]] that allows the player to change Rotom's form at will wherever they are. In Sword and Shield, it can be obtained in a house in [[Wyndon]] from a {{tc|League Staff}} member after defeating him in {{pkmn|battle}}. In Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, the Rotom Catalog is automatically obtained after letting Rotom enter an appliance in Rotom's Room. Rotom must have been in a form at least once to unlock that form in the Rotom Catalog. In Scarlet and Violet, it can be purchased from an auction in the [[Porto Marinada Market]] if the player owns a Rotom.
* In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, an appliance may sometimes be sold by [[Ginter]] of the [[Ginkgo Guild]]; after being purchased, it is placed in the [[player's house|player's quarters]] in [[Jubilife Village#Your Quarters|Jubilife Village]].

Using these locations, Rotom can also return the appliance to change back to its default form. In Generation IV, Rotom changes back to its default form when taken into the [[Union Room]] or [[Wi-Fi Club]], or when deposited in the [[Pokémon Day Care]].

[[Pokémon Egg|Hatched]] Rotom will always be in their standard form.

Upon changing into an appliance form, Rotom will learn the special move associated with the form, and upon changing from an appliance form, it will forget that special move. When changing forms, if Rotom knows four moves but not the special move of its previous form, the player will be prompted to replace a move with the new exclusive move (Rotom cannot change to an appliance form unless it does). If Rotom's only known move is its special move and it changes to its default form, then the Rotom will learn {{m|Thunder Shock}}. If Rotom forgets the move that is tied to its appliance form, it remains in its appliance form.

Rotom's appliance forms first appeared as silhouettes in August 2008, shortly before the Japanese release of {{game|Platinum}}, with a statement that indicated that these Pokémon would be in the game. Days before the game's release, it was revealed that these Pokémon were the alternate forms of Rotom. These new forms made their debut in Pokémon Platinum, and have been included in every [[core series]] game since.

In Generation IV, there are five separate appliances and changing Rotom's form temporarily removes that appliance from the room, so the player can never have more than one of each form. From Generation V onward, this limitation is removed. In [[Hisui]], five separate appliances are again depicted, but changing Rotom's form does not remove that appliance from the room.

Rotom's appliance forms are not present in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]]. In {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, they are a permanent form difference, with each form being a separate Pokémon on the [[Connection Orb]].

[[File:Oak Rotom.png|thumb|250px|Rotom in {{aniseries|BW}}]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Professor Oak's Rotom]]=====
{{an|Professor Oak}} {{pkmn2|caught}} a Rotom on [[Torom Island]] in ''[[BW128|To Catch a Rotom!]]''. Rotom is a prankster, often scaring {{Ash}} by appearing over the video phone whenever he calls Professor Oak. It also appeared in [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Holo Caster]] in {{aniseries|XY}}, helping Professor Oak with his explanation, and often laughing at him when he gets hurt.

====={{an|Rotom Pokédex}}=====
A Rotom inhabiting Ash's [[Alola]]n [[Pokédex]] debuted in ''[[SM003|Loading the Dex!]]''. As a Pokédex, Rotom has access to data about many different Pokémon species, but it often hurts itself and others by trying to see a Pokémon do a certain action after reading its information.

==Trivia==
[[File:Rotom Pokédex type.png|thumb|250px|The [[Rotom Pokédex]]'s type in the {{pkmn|animated series}}]]
* In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl}}, {{v2|Platinum}}, {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl}}, Rotom uses [[Pokémon Diamond & Pokémon Pearl: Super Music Collection|Battle! (Legendary Pokémon)]] as its battle theme, even though Rotom is not a [[Legendary Pokémon]]. To date, Rotom is the only Pokémon with this trait.
* Rotom's alternate forms, along with {{p|Arceus}}'s forms, were the only alternative forms of a Pokémon not featured in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}}. However, despite being introduced a year before the game was released like Rotom, {{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Giratina}}'s alternate forms made an appearance in the game.
* Rotom is tied with {{p|Tynamo}} as the [[List of Pokémon by weight|lightest]] {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.
* Rotom was the first Pokémon mentioned to have an {{DL|List of Pokémon by gender ratio|unknown gender}} in the {{pkmn|animated series}}.
* In ''[[JN037|That New Old Gang of Mine!]]'', {{Ash}}'s [[Rotom Phone]] listed the {{an|Rotom Pokédex}} as a pure Electric-type.
* In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Rotom's forms can't master their exclusive moves, even with a [[Seed of Mastery]].

====Generation V type change====
* Rotom is the only Pokémon to have its type changed to a type that was not newly introduced.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Rotom's base form or Heat Rotom, making Rotom the only Pokémon with more than one unique type combination.
* Despite becoming part {{type|Flying}}, Fan Rotom retains the [[Ability]] {{a|Levitate}}, being the only Flying-type Pokémon with this Ability. As its Flying type already makes it immune to {{type|Ground}} [[move]]s, its Ability is effectively useless under normal conditions.
** In [[Inverse Battle]]s, Fan Rotom is still protected from Ground-type moves due to Levitate, making it the only Flying-type Pokémon to not be affected by Ground-type moves in these battles by default.
* All of Rotom's appliance forms (except Mow Rotom) are tied for or have the fewest weaknesses of all Pokémon of their secondary types.
** All of Rotom's alternate forms (except Mow Rotom) are also the lightest Pokémon of their secondary typing.
* Heat Rotom is tied with {{form|Castform|Sunny Form}} {{p|Castform}}, {{p|Litwick}}, and {{p|Scorbunny}} for the [[List of Pokémon by height|shortest]] {{type|Fire}} Pokémon.
* Frost Rotom is:
** tied with {{form|Castform|Snowy Form}} {{p|Castform}} and {{p|Snom}} for the shortest {{type|Ice}} Pokémon,
** the only {{type|Ice}} Pokémon in the {{egg3|Amorphous}},
** one of the only Ice-type Pokémon, the others being Snom and {{p|Chien-Pao}}, to not be able to learn {{m|Ice Beam}}.

===Origin===
Rotom appears to be based on {{wp|poltergeist}}s or {{wp|tsukumogami}}, a type of ghost that possesses household items. Many of its Pokédex entries are reminiscent of {{wp|gremlin}}s. Its Pokédex entry from [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] specifically calls it a "{{wp|will-o'-the-wisp}} powered by electricity"; will-o'-the-wisps are typically ghost-like lights that inhabit marshes. Usually will-o'-the-wisps appear as balls of fire, another form of {{wp|Plasma (physics)|plasma}}. Rotom may also be an embodiment of {{wp|ball lightning}} or electronic "{{wp|magic smoke}}".


Each of Rotom's forms appears as an electronic object with arms made out of electric sparks. Its regular and most common form seems to be based on a {{wp|Electric light|light bulb}}, as listed in the [[Rotom Catalog]]. The other forms directly possess a household object:
* Heat Rotom possesses a {{wp|microwave oven}}, with its arms also resembling the rounded hands of {{wp|oven mitt}}s, cooking wear to take out hot foods from an {{wp|oven}}.
* Wash Rotom possesses a {{wp|washing machine}}, with its arms resembling a pair of {{wp|clothespin}}s, a type of peg used to hold up wet clothes to dry.
* Frost Rotom possesses a {{wp|refrigerator}}. Its lower drawer resembling a freezer. While its arms resemble that of lightning bolts, they could also be a depiction of fractured ice.
* Fan Rotom possesses an {{wp|Fan (machine)|electric fan}}, particularly a desk or table fan. Its arms resemble a cartoonish depiction on gusts of wind.
* Mow Rotom possesses a {{wp|lawn mower}}. Its rounded face and wheels makes the species resemble a reel mower with a bag used for storing grass attached to its back. Its teeth and arms become pointed, bringing to mind the {{wp|saw}} or blade of a lawn mower.

Among its other forms, the [[Rotom Bike]] resembles an {{wp|electric bicycle}}, a type of bike that use an electric motor. The Rotom Bike's Water Mode may be based on the concept of a {{wp|Pedalo|paddle boat}}, sometimes called a water bike, that is used to traverse water by pedaling. The [[Rotom Dex]], [[Rotom Phone]] and [[Rotomi]] may be based on {{wp|virtual assistant}}s or forms of {{wp|artificial intelligence}} used to assist the usage of electric devices and software.

====Name origin====
Rotom is derived from ''{{wp|motor}}'' spelled backwards.

In-universe, an old notebook in [[Rotom's Room]] of {{g|Platinum}} and {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} describes how a person discovered and named the first known Rotom. It appeared out of a lawn mower's motor, and the person named it Rotom due to this origin.

'''Misty's Starmie''' (Japanese: '''カスミのスターミー''' ''Kasumi's Starmie'') was one of the three original {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} acquired by {{an|Misty}} in the [[Kanto]] [[region]] prior to the start of the {{pkmn|animated series}}, and the third to be seen in her possession.

==In animation==
===''Pokémon the Series''===
====History====
====={{aniseries|OS}}=====
[[File:Starmie Debut.png|thumb|left|220px|Starmie in its debut]]
Misty rarely used Starmie in {{pkmn|battle}}, generally favoring {{TP|Misty|Staryu}} to battle on land and often {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} by mistake. Starmie was typically featured in a more instrumental capacity than its pre-evolved counterpart, being used to {{m|Surf|traverse water}} on many occasions.

In ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', Starmie was used in {{an|Misty}}'s [[Cerulean Gym]] match against {{Ash}}. Misty had successfully beaten {{AP|Butterfree}} with {{TP|Misty|Staryu}}, and Starmie was called out against {{AP|Pidgeotto}}, suggesting that, at this time, Starmie was more powerful than Staryu. It dived underwater to dodge Pidgeotto's {{m|Whirlwind}} and shot up into the air to land a Tackle. However, its second Tackle was deflected by {{m|Wing Attack}}. It was blown into a Gym wall by a {{m|Gust}} attack, on the brink of losing before {{TRT}} intervened. The battle was called off and Ash was given the {{Badge|Cascade}} regardless.
[[File:Misty and Starmie.png|thumb|220px|Starmie and Misty]]
In ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'', Misty was incensed by {{OBP|Joe|EP009}}'s insistence that he could easily defeat her {{t|Water}} Pokémon as he had done it countless times on the simulator. She promptly challenged him to a real battle and sent out Starmie to prove its strength against his {{p|Weepinbell}}. Starmie used a single {{m|Water Gun}} and knocked out Weepinbell, leading to Joe's ridicule by [[Giselle]]. However, Misty then challenged Giselle, calling her out for not being a true friend. Giselle's {{p|Graveler}} proved to be a very powerful opponent, deflecting Water Gun by spinning and then smashing into Starmie, shattering the center gem and knocking it through the window and into the pool. Starmie's regenerative abilities were also demonstrated, as by the next time it was seen, its central core was repaired.

Starmie was sent out to battle a wild {{p|Oddish}} in ''[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]]''. It successfully weakened Oddish with Water Gun and Tackle, but was knocked out in one Tackle from the {{AP|Bulbasaur}} that came to its defense.

It later helped to rescue the trio from the sinking [[S.S. Anne|St. Anne]] in ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]'', carrying {{an|Brock}} from the ship, and later towing the group's raft out of the range of [[James]]'s raging {{TP|James|Gyarados}}. In ''[[EP019|Tentacool & Tentacruel]]'', it rescued the sailors that had been attacked.
[[File:Misty Starmie Pikachu Squirtle Pokemon-athon.png|thumb|left|220px|Starmie bearing Misty across the water]]
It appeared to have an [[Ability]] similar to {{a|Water Absorb}}, even though Abilities did not exist when Misty was a main character. This was demonstrated when, in ''[[EP021|Bye Bye Butterfree]]'', Starmie chased Team Rocket away with a Tackle, but was knocked out when [[Jessie]] smashed it with a hammer. However, it seemed to regain its health when Misty jetted water on it. In ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]'', it helped Staryu and {{AP|Squirtle}} put out the fire at [[Celadon Gym]] with Water Gun.

Starmie paired with Misty in ''[[EP033|The Flame Pokémon-athon!]]'' during the [[Big P Pokémon Race]]. It made the final four as it was able to surf across the river course. However, like the other contestants, its efforts were sabotaged by Team Rocket, and it was blinded by a {{m|Sludge}} attack from {{TP|James|Weezing}}, taking it out long enough to allow [[Dario]], the man who had encouraged Team Rocket, to make a break for the finish line.

Misty attempted to round off her team of four in ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'' with Starmie, but Psyduck popped out of its {{i|Poké Ball}} instead. This happened quite commonly with Starmie and Psyduck.

In ''[[EP061|The Misty Mermaid]]'', Misty stopped off at the Cerulean Gym after {{TP|Misty|Horsea}} was feeling sick due to a lack of open water exercise. Misty also reluctantly left Starmie there because her [[Sensational Sisters|sisters]] wanted to borrow it for their water ballet performances.
[[File:Misty Starmie Horsea Cerulean Gym.png|thumb|220px|Starmie, with Horsea, living at the Cerulean Gym]]

=====[[Pokémon Chronicles]]=====
Misty reunited with Starmie in ''[[HS02|Cerulean Blues]]'', when she assumed the role of the Cerulean Gym Leader. Starmie was later scared off during {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}}'s rampage.

Starmie briefly reappeared in ''[[HS11|A Date with Delcatty]]'' when Misty was feeding the Pokémon.

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

====={{aniseries|JN}}=====
In ''[[JN140|Bearing Down Easy!]]'', Misty used Starmie to destroy some ice so Ash and his friends could chase after a {{p|Beartic}}. It was soon after recalled to avoid being frozen.

====Personality and characteristics====
As Starmie wasn't given many onscreen appearances, little is known about its personality. When in {{pkmn|battle}}, it was shown to be quite obedient and loyal to {{an|Misty}}. Starmie has been known to sometimes droop and bend its points when in pain or disappointment.

====Moves used====

===Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Misty Starmie PO.png|250px|thumb|Starmie in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
In ''[[PO02|File 2: Cubone]]'', Misty used Starmie in her [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} against {{OBP|Red|Origins}}, but was defeated off-screen.

===Pokémon Masters Animated Trailer===
{{main|Misty (Masters)#In animation|Misty (Masters) → In animation}}
Misty's Starmie appeared in the [[Pokémon Masters Animated Trailer]].

===GOTCHA!===
Misty's Starmie briefly appeared in [[GOTCHA!]].

'''Brock's Steelix''' (Japanese: '''タケシのハガネール''' ''Takeshi's Haganeil'') was the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} acquired by {{an|Brock}} in {{aniseries|PTS}}, and is his main battling Pokémon in both [[Pokémon animation]] and the {{pkmn|games}}. It was given to Brock by his father, {{ka|Flint}}.

==In animation==
===History===
===={{aniseries|OS}}====
=====Kanto=====
[[File:Young Brock Onix.png|thumb|220px|left|Onix becoming Brock's [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]]]]
{{an|Brock}} received Steelix as an {{p|Onix}} from his father, {{ka|Flint}}, on his tenth birthday, as seen in a flashback in ''[[AG034|Having a Wailord of a Time]]''. Onix was Brock's first Pokémon and has consistently been his strongest.

Onix was first seen in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' during Brock's [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} with {{Ash}} at the [[Pewter Gym]], where it was used against {{AP|Pikachu}}. Onix wasn't fazed by Pikachu's {{m|Thunder Shock}}s because of its secondary {{t|Ground}} type, and was easily able to subdue Pikachu with a {{m|Bind}}. Ash forfeited the match because he couldn't stand to see Pikachu in pain. Onix was also used in Brock's rematch with Ash where it battled Pikachu again. This time Pikachu's newly learned {{m|Thunderbolt}} attack was able to cause damage to Onix, though it was still not enough to defeat it. Onix once again had Pikachu in a Bind until Brock told it to stop because Brock didn't want to hurt Pikachu. Eventually Pikachu's Thunderbolt set off the sprinklers, severely damaging Onix because of its weakness to water. Pikachu took Onix down with one final Thunderbolt, but Ash chose to forfeit. Brock decided to give Ash the {{Badge|Boulder}} anyway, joining him on his journey and bringing Onix with him.

Like most of {{cat|Brock's Pokémon}}, Onix received very little screen time compared to the Pokémon of the other main characters. This may have been due to its massive size.
[[File:Brock Onix staircase.png|thumb|220px|Onix forming a staircase to help Brock and Ash escape]]
Onix was sent out in an attempt to prevent {{TRT}} from escaping with a Moon Stone in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''. It {{m|Dig|tunneled}} through the ground and burst up to disrupt the escaping Team Rocket, and although it fought to a stalemate with {{TP|James|Koffing}}, it held them up long enough for Ash and the others to arrive and save the day. In ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]'', when the trio was trapped in the upside-down sunken [[S.S. Anne|St. Anne]], Onix was used as a bridge and ladder to allow the group to reach the lower levels of the ship.
[[File:Brock Onix Rhyhorn race.png|thumb|220px|left|Onix and Brock in the race]]
Onix was used as Brock's steed in ''[[EP033|The Flame Pokémon-athon!]]'' during the [[Big P Pokémon Race]]. It managed to maintain second behind [[Dario]] and just ahead of a farmhand on a {{p|Rhyhorn}}. However, the race involved crossing a body of water, which the two {{type|Rock}} Pokémon could not cross, and Onix had to withdraw. Onix was noticeably upset by this and even wept.

In ''[[EP050|Who Gets To Keep Togepi?]]'', Brock used Onix in the four-way tournament, where it went up against {{MTR}}. It seemed to outclass the tiny {{type|Normal}} Pokémon with {{m|Rock Throw}}. Still, Meowth was extremely determined after seeing {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} and managed to defeat Onix by splashing it with two buckets of water and then using {{m|Fury Swipes}}. Brock accused Meowth of cheating, though he defended his rights to be a protective parent unhindered.

In ''[[EP059|Volcanic Panic]]'', it helped stop the erupting volcano by helping {{TP|Brock|Geodude}}, [[Blaine's Magmar]], [[Ash's Charizard]], and Ash's Pikachu clog the lava flow with boulders. [[Misty's Staryu]] and [[Ash's Squirtle]] bathed Onix in water to help keep it from overheating.

Brock used it in ''[[EP071|To Master the Onixpected!]]'' in an attempt to restrain a [[Giant Pokémon|giant]] {{TP|Bruno|Onix}}, and in ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]'', in an attempt to restrain a giant {{p|Gengar}}. It was absorbed into the ancient Pokémon just like Team Rocket, the scientists, and {{AP|Pidgeotto}}, but reappeared at the end of the episode.

In ''[[EP076|Fire and Ice]]'', Brock called out Onix to rescue Ash's Pokémon from Team Rocket, who tried to steal them under the ploy of healing them at a fake [[Pokémon Center]]. It quickly caught their balloon in its jaws and, after the group had retrieved Ash's Pokémon, sent them blasting off by bursting it.

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

===={{aniseries|GS}}====
When Brock returned to the group in ''[[EP115|A Tent Situation]]'', he brought Onix with him, as revealed in ''[[EP120|Roll On, Pokémon!]]'', where it lost a battle with a powerful {{p|Donphan}}.
[[File:Brock Onix afraid of water.png|thumb|220px|Onix swatting Ash and Misty aside trying to dodge Totodile]]
In ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'', Onix was called up against [[Molly Hale]]. It battled {{p|Phanpy}} and was defeated by {{m|Rollout}}.

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

In ''[[EP193|Sick Daze]]'', it was revealed that Brock usually polished his Geodude and Onix as part of his [[Breeder]] duties. The dubious task of polishing Brock's Onix fell to Ash, who attempted to shorten his chore through the use of his {{AP|Totodile}}'s {{m|Water Gun}}, which caused Onix to panic and earned Ash a reprimand from {{an|Misty}}. It was captured by Team Rocket, but was rescued by the arrival of Brock, {{TP|Brock|Golbat}}, and {{TP|Brock|Pineco}} and used Rock Throw to send Team Rocket blasting off.

In ''[[EP196|Control Freak!]]'', Jessie, possessing an ancient Queen's mask and scepter, took control of Onix, Geodude, and Pikachu. Team Rocket ordered a hasty retreat by ordering Onix to carry them out of the underground chambers. When Team Rocket fled, Onix was freed from the scepter's influence. In ''[[EP259|Entei at Your Own Risk]]'', Onix comically buried {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} in hot sand as it collapsed in the bed to relax. It later used its large, dense body to shield the group from Team Rocket's Twisty Turbo Tempest machine suction.

In ''[[EP204|Right On, Rhydon!]]'', Brock used Onix in an attempt to impress [[Pietra]], whose {{type|Ground}} Pokémon were struggling to create a tunnel. It smashed its head against the hardened rock several times, but it quickly fled after some water hit its back.

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

====[[Pokémon Chronicles]]====
[[File:Brock and Steelix.png|thumb|left|220px|Steelix and Brock]]
In ''[[HS01|A Family That Battles Together Stays Together!]]'', Onix was used in a battle against Brock's mother [[Lola]] and her {{p|Mantine}} to decide if the [[Pewter City]] Gym would become a {{type|Water}} Gym. Despite being at a type disadvantage, Onix defeated Mantine, allowing the Pewter Gym to remain as a Rock-type Gym. Afterward, Brock ended up lending Onix, Geodude, and Crobat to his eldest sibling, [[Forrest]], who took on the role of [[Gym Leader]] at Pewter City while Brock went to [[Hoenn]].

===={{aniseries|RS}}====
When Brock returned to the Gym in ''[[AG177|Grating Spaces]]'', Onix had [[Evolution|evolved]] into a Steelix under Forrest's care. Steelix was revealed to have learned {{m|Iron Tail}} and a powerful {{m|Dragon Breath}} attack during its time at the Gym. It was used in a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] with Ash and his {{AP|Donphan}} against disguised [[Jessie]] and [[James]], and their newly obtained {{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Aggron}}. The battle was eventually stopped after Team Rocket was exposed.

===={{aniseries|DP}}====
In [[DPS02]], Steelix was called out by Forrest to have a Gym battle against [[Nurse Joy]]. However, Nurse Joy refused to battle anyone but Brock or Flint at the time.

===={{aniseries|SM}}====
In ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', Steelix battled [[Kiawe's Turtonator]]. A while into the battle, {{an|Kiawe}} figured that Steelix was too strong and decided to use a [[Z-Move]] to finish the match. In response, Brock surprised everyone by revealing a [[Key Stone]] and [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] his Steelix into Mega Steelix. Turtonator successfully launched an {{m|Inferno Overdrive}} at Steelix, but despite dealing heavy damage, it wasn't able to deal a decisive blow, much to Kiawe's shock. Steelix defeated Turtonator with a {{m|Stone Edge}}.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
Steelix reappeared in ''[[JNS03|The Arceus Chronicles (Part 3)]]'', where it teamed up with {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} and {{TP|Brock|Blissey}} to fight against the [[Team Galactic]] {{tc|Commander}}s. It fought against [[Jupiter]]'s {{p|Skuntank}}, striking it with a powerful Stone Edge before being pushed back by {{m|Flamethrower}}. {{an|Cynthia}} eventually showed up, allowing Brock and Steelix to leave and help stop the rampaging {{p|Heatran}}.
[[File:Steelixite anime.png|thumb|250px|Steelix's Steelixite]]
In ''[[JN139|Must Be Our Heroes and the Witch!]]'', Brock, hypnotized by a {{p|Hatterene}}, sent Steelix out to battle Ash, Misty, and {{an|Cilan}}.

In ''[[JN146|Ash and Latios]]'', Steelix was used to fight against a {{OBP|Pokémon hunter|JN146}}, who was trying to capture {{p|Latios}} and {{an|Latias}}. Although Steelix was briefly turned to stone by the hunter's device, it was restored when Pikachu destroyed the machine.

===Personality and characteristics===
Like many of {{cat|Brock's Pokémon}}, Steelix received very little personality development while onscreen, which was not often, most likely due to its size. However, it is very loyal to Brock as his [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]] and reflects his personality closely. Like {{an|Brock}}, Steelix was very intimidating and serious in its debut, mercilessly crushing {{AP|Pikachu}} in obedience to its commands. It also has a tough exterior that hides a sensitive interior. Just as Brock gets emotional over women, Steelix is morbidly afraid of water. During the [[Big P Pokémon Race]] in ''[[EP033|The Flame Pokémon-athon!]]'', Onix kept up a top three position until they hit a body of water and were forced to retire, causing it to cry in disappointment. When necessity forced it to expose itself to water when damming the {{DL|Cinnabar Island|Volcano|Cinnabar volcano}}, it only permitted the tip of its tail to be soaked.

As a Steelix, its personality remains much the same. It was very happy to see Brock again after its Evolution and has continued battling loyally alongside him. Even when Brock was lost in {{p|Hatterene}}'s illusions in ''[[JN139|Must Be Our Heroes and the Witch!]]'' and commanded Steelix to attack {{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}}, Steelix's unwavering loyalty was evident in its obedience.

===Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Brock Onix PO.png|thumb|250px|Onix in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
Onix was the second Pokémon that Brock used during his Gym battle against {{OBP|Red|Origins}} in ''[[PO01|File 1: Red]]''. At first, it took supereffective [[damage]] from a {{m|Double Kick}} made by Red's {{p|Nidoran♂}}, but was able to defeat him with {{m|Bide}}. It proceeded to defeat Red's {{p|Spearow}}, {{p|Rattata}}, and {{p|Metapod}} in quick succession, although the latter managed to land a {{m|String Shot}} on it before being defeated. Red was left with only {{TP|Red|Charmander}}, and as it had also been significantly weakened while battling [[Brock's Geodude]], both Trainers knew that the first one to land a hit on the opponent would win. Thanks to Onix's speed having been reduced by Metapod's String Shot, Charmander was able to outspeed the {{pkmn|category|Rock Snake Pokémon}} and strike it with {{m|Scratch}}, defeating it and giving Red the victory.

===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Brock Onix Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Onix in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
====History====
====={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}=====
Brock's Onix debuted in ''[[PS005|Onix is On!]]'', where it took on {{adv|Red}} during his battle to earn the {{badge|Boulder}}. As Red's [[Poli|other]] [[Saur|Pokémon]] were completely exhausted from the numerous Gym Trainer battles required to reach Brock, Red was forced to use his [[Pika]]chu, which he had only recently caught and was having difficulty connecting with. This led to Pikachu making his own decisions during the battle, even at one point ignoring Onix and attacking Red instead. However, when Onix tried to attack Pikachu with {{m|Skull Bash}}, the Electric Mouse was able to shock Onix into pieces, making Red the winner.

In ''[[PS033|The Winged Legends]]'', Onix was used to stop a group of {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s trying to flee from [[Saffron City]].

====={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}=====
In ''[[PS150|Chinchou in Charge]]'', Onix was used as a replacement bridge for Brock, [[Misty]], and [[Erika]] at the [[Tohjo Falls]], as the original bridge over the falls was broken. Onix collapsed when the trio was attacked by a large group of {{p|Zubat}}, {{p|Golbat}}, and {{p|Crobat}}.

In ''[[PS155|Capital Kabutops]]'', Onix was used in an {{wp|exhibition game|exhibition match}} against [[Jasmine]] and her {{TP|Jasmine|Steelix}}. Steelix was wearing a layer of rock over its steel body to disguise itself, causing everyone to believe it was an Onix. As the two constricted each other, Onix took damage due to {{p|Steelix}}'s much harder body, and the Iron Snake's outer coating began to chip and fall off. Exposed as being a fraud, Steelix broke out of its disguise and revealed its true identity. Onix was quickly taken down by Steelix's {{m|Crunch}}.

===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
[[File:Brock Onix EToP.png|thumb|200px|Onix in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
Brock's Onix briefly appeared in ''[[ET02|Play Misty For Me]]'', taking part in the Gym battle between {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}} and Brock, eventually getting defeated. It reappeared in ''[[ET04|Haunting My Dreams]]'', where it was used to battle the {{pkmn2|giant}} {{p|Haunter}} known as the [[Black Fog]]. However, like almost every other Pokémon participating in the battle, it ended up being defeated.

===Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure===
Brock's Onix only appeared as a silhouette in [[JBA5]] along with its Trainer.

===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
[[File:Brock Onix PM.png|thumb|left|200px|Onix in Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]
Brock's Onix appeared in ''[[PM003|Bring Down the Powerful Opponent Onix!!]]'', during {{PPM|Red}}'s battle with Brock. After witnessing {{PPM|Green}} and his {{TP|Green|Charmander}} being tossed out of the Gym, {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} was initially too afraid to face Onix in battle and attempted to flee, but later gained courage to fight after learning that his cousin {{PPM|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} was part of Brock's collection, which infuriated Clefairy.

During the battle, Clefairy tried to use an assortment of tricks to win the battle, which only prolonged the fight. Eventually Clefairy led Onix around a ceiling column, trapping Onix as it became entangled around it. Onix managed to free itself and attempted to crush Clefairy by wrapping its tail around him, but stopped after Clefairy cunningly drew his picture onto Onix's tail, which confused Onix and caused it to chase after its tail. This made Onix dizzy, and Clefairy subsequently knocked it out by smashing the fallen pillar onto its head, thus winning the battle.

===Pokémon Zensho===
[[File:Brock Onix Zensho.png|thumb|100px|Onix in Pokémon Zensho]]
In [[PZ02]], {{zensho|Satoshi}} battled Brock's Onix with his {{Zensho|Satoshi's Charmander|Charmander}}. Although initially having trouble against the huge Rock-type, Charmander eventually won the battle by chopping off the horn on Onix's head, defeating it.

[[File:Masters Arc Suit Steven Lance Cynthia artwork.png|thumb|250px|Artwork of {{mas|Steven}}, {{mas|Lance}}, and {{mas|Cynthia}} wearing their arc suits]]
An '''arc suit''' (Japanese: '''アルコス''' ''Arceus Costume'') is a special type of outfit appearing in [[Pokémon Masters EX]] that is designed to resemble {{p|Arceus}}. They are granted, through the power of [[sync stone ultimate|sync stones ultimate]], to {{pkmn|Trainers}} who have a very strong bond with their partner Pokémon. The outfits are said to have been blessed by Arceus. Once a Trainer has awakened their arc suit, they can freely activate it again at will. However, it is a temporary transformation; it reverts to the Trainer's original clothes after a certain amount of time.

Unlike [[sygna suit]]s, which denote a [[sync pair]] formed with a different partner Pokémon than normal, arc suit sync pairs are new sync pairs formed with the same partner Pokémon. These sync pairs can be scouted to join the {{player}}'s team through special [[sync pair scout]]s called Arc Suit Fairs.

==Mechanics==
Arc suit sync pairs have two special passive {{mas|skill}}s on top of their three regular passive skills: one that strengthens all allies based on the number of sync pairs of a certain type that are on the team, and one that raises all allies' type rebuff of a particular type and lowers all opponents' type rebuff of the same type upon entering a battle. These passive skills share their name with the corresponding type of [[Plate]].

Arc suit sync pairs' [[sync move]]s all have a unique animation where they receive divine power from Arceus while standing in the [[Hall of Origin]] from {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, rather than having their sync move mindscape displayed in the background. These sync moves are called "divine moves"<ref>[https://x.com/PokemonMasters/status/1828835061770186972 Tweet explaining the term "divine move"]</ref>, and they all have an additional effect.

Arc suit sync pairs also have special golden [[sync grid]] tiles that can be activated for zero energy. One tile is unlocked each time the pair's move level increases, and unlike other sync grid tiles that can be activated for zero energy, these golden tiles can power up moves or grant additional grid {{mas|skill}}s.

All arc suit sync pairs have a special role called [[File:Masters Multi.png|30px|link=]] Multi, which allows them to lower the opponent's type rebuff of a particular type the first time their sync move is used each battle once raised to {{6EX}}. The specialties of an arc suit sync pair, as well as the items required to unlock their level cap, are dependent on their [[EX role]].

'''Dot's Quaquaval''' (Japanese: '''ドットのウェルカモ''' ''Dot's Welkamo''), or '''Nidothing's Quaquaval''' (Japanese: '''ぐるみんのウェルカモ''' ''Gurumin's Welkamo''), is the [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]] that [[Dot]] obtained, as a {{p|Quaxly}}. {{p|Quaquaval}} takes part in her videos to teach young viewers on basic knowledge on how to become a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. He is Dot's main {{pkmn|battle|battling}} Pokémon, and is usually [[Walking Pokémon|outside]] his {{i|Poké Ball}}.

==In animation==
===History===
====Pre-series====
Prior to the series, {{p|Quaquaval}} was a [[wild Pokémon|wild]] {{p|Quaxly}} living in the [[Brave Olivine]] alongside of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]. Eventually, he formed a close bond with [[Ludlow]] and [[Dot]]. He usually kept Ludlow company when he was [[fishing]] or participated in Nidothing's videos.

===={{aniseries|HZ}}====
=====As a wild Pokémon=====
[[File:Ludlow and Dot Quaxly.png|thumb|left|250px|Quaxly and [[Ludlow]]]]
Quaquaval first debuted as a Quaxly in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]'' accompanied by Nidothing, assisting with her videos about how to be a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. In [[HZ002|the following episode]], Quaxly could be seen again panicking as the Rising Volt Tacklers were traveling through a thunderstorm, heading in Dot's room for safety.

In ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', after the encounter of the [[Black Rayquaza]], Quaxly found the tracker that the [[Explorers]] had [[HZ003|previously]] placed on the bottom of the [[Brave Olivine]] and gave it to [[Ludlow]], revealing how they had found the group's location before destroying it.

In ''[[HZ007|Special Training with Cap!]]'', [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] tried to introduce themselves to Dot. As they were waiting for a response on the other side of the door, coming out from the flap of the door was Quaxly, surprising Liko. Quaxly gave Liko and Roy a Dot's message as they were asking her for help in knowing how to get better at [[Pokémon battle]]s. Later, Quaxly again came out from the flap, this time surprising Roy. Quaxly gave both of them a clue to where the Black Rayquaza was hinted to be last seen.
[[File:Liko Floragato Roy Crocalor Dot Quaxwell.png|thumb|250px|Quaxwell with {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}} and {{TP|Liko|Floragato}}]]
In ''[[HZ013|An Unexpected Picnic!]]'', with the help of [[Murdock]], Liko gave Ludlow and Dot the opportunity to have a chance of experiencing a [[picnic]], though Dot was hesitant to give a chance, Quaxly gave her a sincere smile and encouraged Dot to come out of her room to make her own [[sandwich]]. Quaxly as usual, attended the event with Ludlow and Dot.

In ''[[HZ015|Someone We Can't See! Whosawhatsit?]]'', when Liko disappeared, Dot personally volunteered to help search for her. When asked by [[Friede]] if she has a Pokémon in mind that would be ready to enter a Pokémon battle, Quaxly volunteered to battle alongside Dot as her partner.

=====With Dot=====
[[File:Dot choosing Quaxly.png|thumb|250px|left|Quaxly being picked to be [[Dot]]'s [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]]]]
In ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]'', Quaxly was officially caught as Dot's [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]]. He participated in his first battle against [[Spinel]]'s Pokémon with the aid of Liko, Roy, and their respective partners, with Quaxly assisting Sprigatito in defeating Magneton. Afterwards, he encouraged Dot to reveal her true identity as Nidothing to Liko, one of her fans, after several previous failures.

In ''[[HZ027|As Long as I'm with My Friends]]'', Quaxly accompanied Dot and other members of the Team to collect ingredients for a [[curry]] cook off between Liko and Roy. He used Water Gun to scare off a group of {{p|Skwovet}} and {{p|Greedent}} that attacked Roy and Fuecoco. Afterwards, he happily ate curry alongside his Trainer and the other Rising Volt Tacklers after the curry cook off had been counted as a draw.

In ''[[HZ039|Tinkatink's Ideal Hammer]]'', Quaxly worked with Dot to help a wild {{p|Tinkatink}} get her hammer back from a {{p|Orthworm}}, as Dot had him use Water Gun around the area in order to corner it. Dot's planned work and Quaxly was able to help Tinkatink get her hammer back, and the {{pkmn|category|Metalsmith Pokémon}} was able to defeat it.

In ''[[HZ041|A Wild Mom Appears!]]'', Dot used Quaxly in a battle against her mother, [[Franka]], and her {{form|Lycanroc|Midnight Form}} {{p|Lycanroc}}. Quaxly was initially at a disadvantage due to Lycanroc's use of {{m|Counter}}, but while following Dot's order to aim for Lycanroc's legs, the Duckling Pokémon ended up learning {{m|Low Kick}} and defeated Lycanroc, winning Dot the battle.

In ''[[HZ044|The Plan to Capture Rayquaza]]'', Quaxly and Tinkatink were used to battle [[Chalce]]'s {{p|Medicham}}, keeping them distracted long enough for Dot to install a kill program into the generator the Explorers were using to lure out the [[Black Rayquaza]]. In [[HZ045|the following episode]], Quaxly helped take on the Black Rayquaza. With assistance from [[Captain Pikachu]]'s Rising {{m|Volt Tackle}}, Quaxly and Sprigatito were sent flying high enough to launch attacks at Rayquaza. Despite this, Quaxly was eventually taken out by a stray {{m|Draco Meteor}}.
[[File:HZ050.png|thumb|250px|Quaxly battling [[Iono's Bellibolt]]]]
In ''[[HZ049|Dot and Nidothing]]'', Quaxly participated in a livestreamed training battle against Roy's Fuecoco as per Iono's request. However due to his Trainer getting nervous and unable to issue her commands, Quaxly was clueless as what to do and was instantly defeated by Fuecoco as a result. Quaxly soon confronted his Trainer about needing to rely on her Nidothing costume in public. Quaxly then battled against a wild {{p|Varoom}}, with his bravery and determination inspiring Dot to let go of her fears and become more confident in public, allowing her to command Quaxly properly to defeat the Single-Cyl Pokémon.

In ''[[HZ050|Trending Terastallization! Dance, Dance, Quaxly!]]'', Quaxly's battle against Iono's {{p|Bellibolt}} began. Using his superior agility, Quaxly launched a variety of attacks at his opponent, only to activate Bellibolt's {{a|Electromorphosis}} [[Ability]], powering up its {{type|Electric}} moves. Although Dot had Quaxly Terastallize for the first time, they were unable to defeat Bellibolt even with Quaxly's newly-learnt {{m|Liquidation}}. Iono then won the battle with Bellibolt's Terastal-boosted {{m|Discharge}}. Despite the loss, Dot and Quaxly still managed to pass their basics test for fully letting loose and having fun in battle, showing how their bond had improved.

In ''[[HZ055|Showdown! The Paldea Elite Four]]'', Quaxly was used in a tag battle alongside Iono's Bellibolt against [[Poppy]]'s {{p|Tinkaton}} and {{p|Copperajah}}. Both Pokémon struggled to deal damage to their opponents and deal with the effects of {{m|Sandstorm}}, but Quaxly had an idea to use his dancing footwork for triggering Bellibolt's Electromorphosis Ability to strengthen its moves. Dot and Iono soon formed a plan which allowed a Terastallized Quaxly to distract and clash with Tinkaton while a supercharged Bellibolt ambushed and defeated the unsuspecting Copperajah with a powerful {{m|Zap Cannon}}, winning the match by default.
[[File:HZ059.png|thumb|250px|left|Quaxly battling [[Larry#In animation|Larry]]'s {{P|Staraptor}}]]
In ''[[HZ058|Food Fit for a Kingambit!]]'', Quaxly was used by Dot at the [[Anything Goes Café]] to help calm down some kids who were scared by {{p|Kingambit}} with his dancing skills. Quaxly was then used in a battle against [[Sidian]]'s {{p|Garganacl}} to spread its salt around to attract more customers to the café. After the job was done, Quaxly and his Trainer soon headed of for the test battle against [[Larry]].

In ''[[HZ059|Dance, Quaxly! The Blue Medali Step!]]'', Quaxly was used against Larry's {{p|Dudunsparce}}. He was {{status|paralyzed}} by {{m|Glare}} and then recalled in favor of Tinkatink. He later went up against {{p|Staraptor}}. He struggled at first, but was motivated by Dot to utilize his dancing skills to boost the power of his attacks to deal more damage to his opponent. Quaxly then suddenly [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Quaxwell}}, surprising everyone and Terastallizing immediately after his Evolution to deal more damage to Staraptor further, but his paralysis effect soon returned. Larry then got serious, Terastallizing Staraptor and defeating Quaxwell with {{m|Facade}} soon after. Despite the loss, Quaxwell and his Trainer still passed the test overall for their opportunistic use of Terastallization, and Dot once again vowed to grow more stronger as a Trainer alongside her partner.

In ''[[HZ067|Shine on, Terastallization! Liko vs. Roy!]]'', Quaxwell was used to battle against [[Rob]]'s {{p|Darumaka}} during the [[Tera Training Student Battle Tournament]], in which Quaxwell won after Terastallizing. After the events of the tournament, Quaxwell and his Trainer met up with Poppy, who encouraged them on their progress.

In ''[[HZ068|Into a New Sky! The Brave Olivine!]]'', Quaxwell faced off against Lucius's Lapras in a training battle, where he had to avoid most of Lapras's icy attacks. Dot then came up with a plan to have Quaxwell skate on the ice Lapras created to dodge its attacks and hit it with a supereffective Low Kick. Quaxwell was then Terastallized to do more damage, and although Lapras was still standing after the attack, it was impressed by Dot and Quaxwell's strength and returned to its Poké Ball.

In ''[[HZ070|Tinkatink's Hammer Wasn't Made in a Day]]'', while on their way to meet [[Briar]] at the [[Crystal Pool]], Quaxwell and the others were pestered by a wild {{p|Bombirdier}}. The Bombirdier stole a metal plate Tinkatink wanted to forge into a new hammer, forcing her, Dot, and Quaxwell to chase after it. Later, Dot tried to Terastallize Quaxwell against the Bombirdier, only to drop her Tera Orb when a second Bombirdier came to help its partner. Once Tinkatink retrieved the plate and forged it into a new hammer, she evolved into {{p|Tinkatuff}} and helped Quaxwell drive the two Item Drop Pokémon into fleeing. Quaxwell and Dot then praised Tinkatuff for how much she had grown.

In ''[[HZ071|Encounters at the Crystal Pool]]'', Quaxwell and Dot reached the Crystal Pool on [[Oni Mountain]]. After Friede left to look for Briar, a wild Terastalized {{p|Milotic}} emerged from the water and attacked the group. Quaxwell fought alongside Crocalor and Floragato, struggling at first due to Milotic's constant swimming and dodging. Dot used Quaxwell to lure Milotic out, so Crocalor could calm it down and it decided to let the group stay. Quaxwell was then used in a battle against [[Perrin]]'s {{p|Leafeon}}, as his Trainer wanted information regarding {{TP|Lucius|Kleavor}} from her. Quaxwell struggled due to the [[type]] disadvantage at first, but he soon learnt {{m|Air Cutter}} to gain the upper hand and eventually defeated Leafeon.
[[File:HZ073.png|thumb|250px|Quaxwell, Floragato, and Crocalor challenging {{TP|Lucius|Kleavor}}]]
In ''[[HZ072|The Search for Kleavor!]]'', Quaxwell accompanied his trainer on [[Tengu Mountain]] in seach for Lucius's Kleavor, along the way the group were hypnotized by a wild Trevenant, causing them to walk in circles until Quaxwell tripped on a rock, waking him up and helping him in turn to wake the rest of the group up, Quaxwell then worked together with Perrin's Hisuian Growlithe in fending off Trevenant. Quaxwell and Dot then reunited with the rest of Liko's group in their search for Kleavor.

In ''[[HZ073|Kleavor the Solitary Warrior]]'', Dot, Quaxwell and their friends encountered Lucius's Kleavor, with Quaxwell, Floragato, and Crocalor battling it to show their strength in order to convince the Pokémon to join their group. Kleavor had the advantage of strength and battle experience, but their strategies eventually paid off in dealing big damage to it, causing it to use {{m|Stone Axe}} to take them more seriously. In the end despite Terastallizing and doing major damage to Kleavor, Quaxwell and her two friends were still defeated, but Kleavor was impressed enough by their strength to join their group.

In ''[[HZ078|Entei's Fierce Battle Cry!]]'', Quaxwell faced what was presumed to be Lucius' {{DL|Six Heroes|Entei}} along with Captain Pikachu, Floragato, and Crocalor. Although they failed to defeat it, {{p|Entei}} recognized their strength, but revealed itself to be a wild Pokémon and not the one the Rising Volt Tacklers were looking for.
[[File:HZ088.png|thumb|left|250px|Quaxwell teaming up with Floragato, Crocalor, and {{TP|Amethio|Ceruledge}} to take on the {{shiny|White}} {{TP|Gibeon|Zygarde}}]]
In ''[[HZ079|Over the Top!]]'', Quaxwell, Floragato, and Crocalor faced [[Geeta]]'s {{p|Glimmora}} and two {{p|Glimmet}}. After a great team effort, Quaxwell and Crocalor were defeated, with the only Floragato and Glimmora remaining on the field, but Liko's Pokémon eventually managed to win thanks to her {{a|Overgrow}} Ability. In this way, the Rising Volt Tacklers were granted entry into [[Area Zero]] to search for Entei.

In ''[[HZ081|The Pillar of Fire]]'', Quaxwell and his friends battled against Lucius's "Entei". Quaxwell was struggling due to "Entei" [[Protection|protecting]] itself with {{m|Burning Bulwark}}, and its surprising resistance to Water-type attacks. He then managed to learn {{m|Aqua Cutter}} in the midst of battle, allowing him to damage "Entei" more effectively. After learning from Briar about "Entei" actually being a Gouging Fire, Quaxwell and his friends formed a new plan of attack. Quaxwell Terastallized along with Crocalor and Floragato, managing to deal good hits on Gouging Fire, even putting out its flames with consecutive Aqua Cutter attacks. After Captain Pikachu stunned Gouging Fire and Floragato took back the other [[Ancient Poké Ball]]s, Quaxwell's group as a whole passed Gouging Fire's test, earning its trust before it returned to its Ancient Poké Ball. In the [[HZ082|next episode]], Quaxwell joined the fight against Black Rayquaza but was ultimately defeated.

In ''[[HZ086|The Rising Volt Tacklers vs. The Explorers!]]'', Quaxwell battled against Chalce's Medicham, despite his opponent anticipating and countering his moves, thanks to Dot's unpredictable tactics, Quaxwell was able to gain the upper hand in the fight to deal more damage to Medicham. In [[HZ087|the next episode]], Quaxwell Terastallized and teamed up with Floragato, Crocalor, and Ceruledge in order to face off against [[Gibeon]]'s [[White Zygarde|Zygarde]]. Despite the group's efforts, however, they were still no match for the Order Pokémon. After the battle, Zygarde got up and revealed it was testing Liko's and her friends' strength and resolve all along.

In ''[[HZ102|The Knight in the Ruins]]'', Quaxwell was used alongside Tinkatuff in a [[Double Battle]] battle against [[Penny]]'s Pokemon. Despite Terastallizing and doing damage to {{p|Sylveon}}, Quaxwell was defeated by {{p|Flareon}}, causing Dot's defeat.

In ''[[HZ109|Tinkatuff's Hammer Wasn't Made in a Year!]]'', Quaxwell was used to battle against Coral and Sidian, buying enough time for Tinkatuff to forge her new hammer. Although Quaxwell was defeated by Glalie, Tinkatuff with Dot and Gimmighoul's help was able to make her new hammer, which led her to evolve into {{p|Tinkaton}}, defeating the Explorers and sending them retreating.

In [[HZ125]], Quaxwell and Tinkaton were brought out to battle [[Lucius's Arboliva]]. However, despite his efforts, Quaxwell was knocked out by Arboliva.

In [[HZ127]], Quaxwell battled against Penny's {{p|Vaporeon}}. Despite struggling against his opponent's {{a|Water Absorb}} Ability, Quaxwell continued to dodge and counter his opponent's attacks. After Vaporeon was ordered to attack Tinkaton and Gholdengo, Quaxwell stepped in to protect them continuously, resulting in his defeat.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Dot and Quaxwell.png|thumb|250px|Quaxwell and Dot]]
As their {{p|Quaxly|species}} are known for, Quaquaval, while he was a Quaxly, loves to be clean and dislikes being dirty, as seen in ''[[HZ007|Special Training with Cap!]]'', when [[Roy]] attempted to touch the Duckling Pokémon, but unexpectedly got his hand slapped by him. Despite this, Quaxly has shown to be friendly, as he befriended [[Liko's Sprigatito]] and [[Roy's Fuecoco]] right away, even staying friends with them after they both evolved into their middle and final stages. Quaxly also has a habit of making poses for various reasons and is a good dancer, as he enjoys doing it. He has been shown to be out-going as he often accompanies [[Ludlow]], who he gets along well with, and watches the rest of the members of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]. In addition, Quaquaval has been shown to be the voice of reason to those around him, especially to [[Dot]] and his teammates, as he encourages his Trainer to participate in social interactions and other situations she usually avoids. Quaquaval is even the peace maker to his teammates, as shown in [[HZ127]] when he stopped them from arguing over a [[Sitrus Berry]] by cutting it in half for them to share.

Quaquaval is very loyal to Dot and shares a close bond with her, not needing to be called by her when needed in her room. Quaxly even chose Dot to be his {{pkmn|Trainer}} and has been waiting for her to catch him, as seen in ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]''. His closeness to Dot has been seen when he would sit on her shoulders. After evolving into Quaxwell, he would often give Dot a boast when she would get tired from walking. In addition, Quaxly would show his support in having new friends join Dot's [[party|team]], as shown in ''[[HZ039|Tinkatink's Ideal Hammer]]'', when he gave his Trainer a {{I|Poké Ball}} in order to catch a {{p|Tinkatink}} they befriended. This was shown again in ''[[HZ105|Riding the Waves]]'', when Quaxwell gave his support in letting Dot catch a {{p|Gimmighoul}} that has been [[HZ102|following]] [[HZ103|them]].
[[File:Gholdengo Quaxwell Tinkaton.png|thumb|left|250px|Quaxwell, {{TP|Dot|Tinkaton}}, and {{TP|Dot|Gholdengo}}]]
Behind the scene of their livestream in ''[[HZ008|The Door That Never Opens]]'', Quaxly can be seen being skeptical when Dot fumbles or gives generic advice. Quaxly acts like a director, keeping Dot focused on the streams, avoiding a potential break in character live or when making videos. Quaxly also would help with Dot's fans as Nidothing, as shown in ''[[HZ036|Mission: Find Oinkologne's Partner!]]'', when he accompanied [[Liko]] and Roy to meet a fan that asked his Trainer for help. In addition, Quaxly would make sure that no one knows about Dot's identity as Nidothing, as shown in ''Tinkatink's Ideal Hammer'', when he blocked the camera so his Trainer wasn't exposed, after Tinkatink tried to take the zipper from Dot's costume.
[[File:HZ123 RVT Mochi dance.png|240px|thumb|right|Quaxwell enjoying the Mochi dance while the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] are possessed by [[Diana]]'s {{p|Pecharunt}}.]]
He and {{TP|Dot|Tinkaton}} became close friends after meeting each other in their first stages, as he went out of his way to help her, while she was a Tinkatink, retrieve her hammer from a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Orthworm}}. Ever since they became teammates, he keeps an eye on Tinkatink, as he prevents her from making hammers from unnecessary items and keeps her out of trouble. They also formed a sibling relationship, as he comes to see her as his little sister and is protective of her. After Quaxly defeated [[Franka]]'s {{p|Lycanroc}} in a battle, Quaxly and Tinkatink shared a happy hug to celebrate his win.

At first, Quaquaval would find Gimmighoul annoying when it would take control of him, Dot and {{p|Tinkatuff}} into collecting coins for it. However, he quickly accepted Gimmighoul as his teammate and befriended it, even seeing it as his youngest sibling. Quaxwell's friendship with Gimmighoul grows after it evolved into {{TP|Dot|Gholdengo}}. He has also shown the same protectiveness for Gholdengo like he does for Tinkaton.

Quaquaval is shown to be aware of his surroundings. In ''Quaxly, We Can Do It'', before {{p|Arboliva}}'s [[Ancient Poké Ball]] shined, Quaxly sensed something strange when the van that [[Spinel]] was operating went past Liko, Roy, and Dot. He also sneakily hid next to the kitchen door after [[Friede]] thought the coast was clear in ''The Door That Never Opens''. After his Evolution, Quaxwell has become even more confident than before and has been seen practicing his dance moves more often, and incorporating dancing to his battle style as a whole.

Due to being a {{type|Water}}, Quaquaval enjoys being in the water and doing various activities in it, even becoming sad when he doesn't get a chance to play in it, as seen in ''[[HZ105|Riding the Waves]]''. Upon seeing his friends surfing with their Trainers, Quaquaval took an interest in it and encouraged Dot to try it. Ever since losing to [[Lucius's Arboliva]] in [[HZ125]], Quaxwell became determined to get stronger in order to help Dot and his friends, as he has been seeing training none stop, as seen in [[HZ127]].

'''Flash Fire''' (Japanese: '''もらいび''' ''Catching on Fire'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation III]].

==Effect==
===In battle===
====Generation III====
Flash Fire makes the Pokémon immune to {{type|Fire}} moves and will activate when hit by one. When activated, the [[power]] of the Pokémon's Fire-type moves is increased by 50%. While subsequent hits by Fire-type moves will not provide further increases in power, the Pokémon remains immune to the moves.

Flash Fire will not activate if the Pokémon is {{cat|Protection moves|protected}} from the Fire-type move.

Flash Fire will not work while the user is {{status|Freeze|frozen}}.

Flash Fire's boost is not passed with {{m|Baton Pass}}.

====Generation IV====
Instead of boosting Fire-type moves' power, Flash Fire now technically boosts the Pokémon's {{stat|Attack}} or {{stat|Special Attack}} by 50% during damage calculation if a Fire-type move is being used, resulting in effectively the same effect.

Flash Fire can be activated by {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}.

====Generation V onwards====
Flash Fire is now functional even if the user is {{status|Freeze|frozen}}. The Pokémon will not be thawed out, however.

===Outside of battle===
====Generation VIII====
In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, if a Pokémon with Flash Fire is in the first place in the [[party]] (even if [[fainting|fainted]]), there is a 51% chance the game will force an encounter with a {{type|Fire}} Pokémon, if one is possible. In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, the chance is 50%.
====Generation IX====
In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, this Ability has no effect outside of battle, with its former field function effectively being replaced by {{DL|Sandwich|Meal Powers}}.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], Flash Fire will neutralize {{type|Fire}} moves and increase the Pokémon's Flash Fire value by 1 for the rest of the floor; this effect can be stacked twice. If the Pokémon performs a Fire-type move, their Special Attack is temporarily increased by that amount of stages (but cannot increase past +10).

'''Koraidon''' (Japanese: '''コライドン''' ''Koraidon'') is a {{pkmn2|Legendary}} [[Paradox Pokémon|Paradox]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and a major character in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Scarlet]]. It was found weakened at [[Poco Path]]'s beach and fed by the {{player}}, choosing to accompany them as their [[Ride Pokémon|ride]] from then on.

In {{g|Violet}}, its role is filled in by [[Miraidon (game)|Miraidon]].

===History===
====Background====
Around 10 years ago, Koraidon was brought from either an ancient past or another timeline to [[Area Zero]] by [[Professor Sada]]'s [[time machine]]. She eventually brought the Pokémon to her home, where her son [[Arven]] lived with his {{p|Maschiff}}. Koraidon lived with the family in secret for some time until, one day, it attacked several wild Pokémon and attracted unwanted attention, forcing Sada to take it back to Area Zero.

At some point, a second Koraidon was brought through the time machine, but this one proved far more belligerent and aggressive than the first. One day, the aggressive Koraidon forced a violent territorial dispute which ended with Research Station No. 4 being destroyed and Sada being gravely injured trying to protect the passive Koraidon. Wounded and traumatized, the timid Koraidon flew away from Area Zero.

====[[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Scarlet]]====
[[File:Koraidon Scarlet.png|thumb|250px|left|Koraidon meeting the player for the first time]] It flies out of the [[Great Crater of Paldea]] before it loses consciousness and crash lands on a beach below [[Poco Path]]. The [[Player character|player]] happens to fall to the beach where Koraidon is resting in its Limited Build and offers it their [[Sandwich (item)|sandwich]], which revitalizes it enough to assume its Apex Build. As Koraidon leads the player through [[Inlet Grotto]], a group of {{p|Houndour}} led by a {{p|Houndoom}} starts to harass Koraidon. Though it tries to scare them off by roaring, this only causes the Houndour to attack the player instead, forcing Koraidon to grab them and escape. However, this uses up its remaining strength, reverting it to its Limited Build again. The player meets Arven at Poco Path, who regards Koraidon with contempt and gives the player [[Koraidon's Poké Ball]] after battling them, all too glad to have Koraidon off his hands.

=====Path of Legends=====
After the player attends [[Naranja Academy]] and begins the Treasure Hunt, Koraidon regains enough strength to access its Sprinting Build, allowing the player to ride it across the [[Paldea]] region. One of the player's long-term objectives is to find and defeat the five [[Titan Pokémon]], helping Arven find the source of their strength: the [[Herba Mystica]]. Arven creates recipes with the Herba Mystica to help his wounded {{p|Mabosstiff}} recover from its injuries. Koraidon, having acquired a taste for sandwiches, eagerly prompts the player to share their Herba Mystica sandwiches with it, despite Arven's objections. Eating the sandwiches causes Koraidon to regain its strength and unlock more abilities to traverse Paldea with.

=====★ Starfall Street ★=====
Everytime the player defeats one of the bosses of [[Team Star]] and leaves their bases, [[Penny]] appears outside to congratulate and pay the player for their work, Koraidon however, comes out of its Poké Ball and starts to playfully lick Penny all over, showing great affection to her even against her will.

=====The Way Home=====
After the player completes all three story paths, they, [[Nemona]], Arven, and Penny prepare to enter Area Zero, but Koraidon fearfully hesitates due to its trauma. The player and company force it to carry them down into the crater anyway, but while it manages to get them all down there (despite a rough landing), Koraidon returns to its Poké Ball and refuses to come out. It is finally called back out in front of the [[Zero Lab]] before the door is opened, but as this happens, Koraidon encounters its old nemesis, the aggressive Koraidon, who immediately threatens it before entering the now-opened Zero Lab. This leaves it too scared to help the player and friends fend off the other hostile [[Paradox Pokémon]] from the Zero Lab, but Arven, who is piecing together the truth of his and Koraidon's past, encourages it to face its enemy inside the lab while he holds back the Paradox Pokémon outside.

The player and Koraidon meet the late Professor Sada's AI counterpart inside the lab, and when the other Koraidon approaches them, she returns it to its [[Master Ball]]. The player heeds AI Sada's request to shut down the professor's [[time machine]] before it releases enough ancient Pokémon to destroy Paldea's ecosystem, but the time machine resists by overriding the AI and making it battle the player. After the AI's team is defeated, the Paradise Protection Protocol initializes in response, locking all Poké Balls not registered to Professor Sada's ID and forcing the AI to send out the aggressive Koraidon. The player's only option is to send out Koraidon, since its Poké Ball is still registered to Sada's ID. Having recovered its strength, and with moral support from the player and friends, Koraidon assumes its Apex Build and faces its nemesis, finally defeating it thanks to {{Tera}}stallization and its friends's support. From this moment on, the player can freely switch Koraidon between serving as their Ride Pokémon in its Sprinting Build (and other associated Builds) or a member of their party in its Apex Build.

=====[[The Teal Mask]]=====
During the player's schooltrip to [[Kitakami]], Koraidon comes out of its Poké Ball again as it hears the word sandwich, surprising [[Kieran]] that the player possesses such an amazing and rare Pokémon.

=====[[The Indigo Disk]]=====
Later on, the player enters [[Blueberry Academy]]'s BB League. One of the BB League's [[Elite Four]], [[Amarys]], requires the player to pass her Flying Time Trial, in which challengers must clear the course on flight-capable Ride Pokémon within a certain amount of time. To enable this, Amarys gives the player a supplement made from herbs growing in the [[Terarium]] that temporarily enables Koraidon to enter its Flying Build, allowing it to freely fly through the air. Later on, after the player, Kieran, [[Carmine]] and [[Briar]] travel all the way into [[Area Zero Underdepths]], Kieran, determined to defeat the player using {{p|Terapagos}}, Terastallizes it and causes it to lose control and almost kill him with a Terastal energy blast, being saved just in time by Koraidon who was sent out to protect him by the player.

After the story is completed, Amarys offers more supplements so the player and Koraidon can fly whenever they need to, but to her surprise, Koraidon devours all of the supplements right away, causing it to power up and gain permanent access to its Flying Build. Later on, when the player travels to Kitakami's [[Crystal Pool]] having with them, both Terapagos and [[Briar's Book]], Terapagos will use its powers and the stones in the Crystal Pool to temporarily bring a Professor Sada from a parallel timeline, there. In excitement, Koraidon comes out of its Poké Ball once again to excitedly greet their former owner, who it clearly cares and misses deeply, becoming saddened as Sada returns to her own timeline now with Briar's Book

===Personality and characteristics===
{{Main|Koraidon (Pokémon)}}
Koraidon has a meek and gentle personality. Though initially wary, it bonds with the player and accompanies them during their journey throughout the Paldea [[region]]. Koraidon shows compassion towards [[Arven]]'s {{p|Mabosstiff}} and curiosity towards [[Penny]], despite the former's initial distaste of it and the latter's shyness. Throughout the journey, it slowly regains its strength, allowing Koraidon to utilize additional forms to help the player navigate Paldea's terrain. Koraidon is initially hesitant to enter Area Zero due to its previous encounter with the other Koraidon, but with the support of the player and friends, Koraidon finds the courage to face its old nemesis and finally defeat it.

It is shown to have a voracious appetite. During the Path of Legends quest, Koraidon develops a taste for Herba Mystica [[sandwich]]es, much to Arven's initial perplexity. After completing the story of The Indigo Disk, Amarys gives the player an ample supply of Flying Build supplements, but Koraidon immediately and eagerly gobbles them all in one go.

====Appearance====
:''See also: [[Koraidon (Pokémon)#Form data|Koraidon → Form data]]''
In Pokémon Scarlet, Koraidon can assume a series of Builds which can be used for travel. By pressing +, the player can enter and use Koraidon's Sprinting Build. In this Build, the player can ride on Koraidon, replacing the [[bike]] and [[Ride Pokémon]] from previous games. At first, Koraidon can only be ridden in its Sprinting Build. It can jump by pressing B, and swim in bodies of water inside settlements.

Miraidon will be given an upgrade after each [[Titan Pokémon]] the player defeats, which allows it to eat their [[Herba Mystica]]:

* Defeating the Stony Cliff Titan {{p|Klawf}}, Koraidon will eat its [[Sweet Herba Mystica]] and gain the ability to dash in its Sprinting Build, giving it a higher-speed option when pressing the left stick. It may be possible to activate dash from jumping or sliding down steep hills.
* Defeating the Open Sky Titan {{p|Bombirdier}}, Koraidon will eat its [[Bitter Herba Mystica]] and gain the ability to change into its Swimming Build, allowing it to swim outside of cities and towns, replacing the {{m|Surf}} [[HM]] from earlier games.
* Defeating the Lurking Steel Titan {{p|Orthworm}}, Koraidon will eat its [[Salty Herba Mystica]] and gain the ability to jump higher by holding the B button.
* Defeating the Quaking Earth Titan {{p|Great Tusk}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Treads}}{{sup/9|V}}, Koraidon will eat its [[Sour Herba Mystica]] and gain the ability to change into its Gliding Build. Working similarly to {{hi|Ride Pokémon|Braviary}}, pressing B while in the air gives Koraidon the ability to fall slower and travel in the air for a short time before dropping.
* Defeating the False Dragon Titan {{p|Tatsugiri}}, Koraidon will eat its [[Spicy Herba Mystica]] and gain the ability to climb. Similar to {{hi|Ride Pokémon|Sneasler}}, by jumping and touching a wall, Koraidon can attach itself to said wall if the player presses B, allowing it to climb the wall in all directions. Pressing the B button again allows Koraidon to detach itself from the wall.
* When confronting its fellow Koraidon at the end of the game, Koraidon gains the ability to finally change into its Apex Build, allowing the player to subsequently use it in proper battles.
* After completing [[The Indigo Disk]]'s main story, the player can talk to [[Amarys]] in Classroom 3-2 of [[Blueberry Academy]]. Doing so, she'll offer it a large amount of a supplement that enhances a Pokémon's flight capabilities, granting Koraidon the ability to fly in its Gliding Build. Working somewhat similarly to [[Soaring in the sky|Soar]], pushing down the Left Stick while in Gliding Build allows Koraidon to fly freely around the map. This can't be used while [[Ogre Oustin']].

==Trivia==
* Koraidon and {{ga|Miraidon}} are the only [[Legendary Pokémon]] available to the player at the start of the game, although they can't be used in battle until the end of the main story.
* Despite it originally being registered to Sada's ID, by the time the player can use it in battle, it is registered to the player's ID. The same is also true with Miraidon and [[Professor Turo]]. However, this is not the case in the battle against the Paradise Protection Protocol, as Koraidon's met data is incomplete at that time.

====Background====
Around 10 years ago, Miraidon was brought from either a distant future or another timeline to [[Area Zero]] by [[Professor Turo]]'s [[time machine]]. He eventually brought the Pokémon to his home, where his son [[Arven]] lived with his {{p|Maschiff}}. Miraidon lived with the family in secret for some time until, one day, it attacked several wild Pokémon and attracted unwanted attention, forcing Turo to take it back to Area Zero.

====History====
===== Background =====
Prior to the events of the manga, {{Violet}} and [[Old Roto]] witnessed an injured Miraidon crash-landing on a beach near [[Cabo Poco]]. When Violet went to check to see if Miraidon was alright, it got up and stole one of his [[sandwich]]es. Miraidon took a liking to the boy and began following him around. Later, Violet received a call from [[Professor Turo]], who informed him that Miraidon could regain its lost power if fed the [[Herba Mystica]]. At Turo's suggestion, Violet set out to find Turo's son {{adv|Arven}}, who had been doing research on the mysterious plants.

====={{MangaArc|Scarlet & Violet}}=====
[[File:Miraidon power up Adventures.png|250px|thumb|left|Miraidon powering up after eating a [[Herba Mystica]] [[Sandwich (item)|sandwich]]]]
Shortly after setting foot in [[Uva Academy]] in ''[[PASV01|Speeding! Paldea's Prince of Speed!!]]'', Violet began looking for Arven's whereabouts. His search led to him crashing the school's opening ceremony and competing in a race against several teachers. All the commotion alerted Arven, who demanded to know how Violet came in contact with Miraidon. Violet ignored the question and instead dragged Arven along to assist in his quest to obtain the Herba Mystica.

In ''[[PASV08|Acquisition! New Ability: Dash!!]]'', at [[South Province (Area Three)]], Violet and Arven fought {{p|Klawf}}, the Stony Cliff [[Titan Pokémon|Titan]]. By using the area's terrain to its advantage, Klawf managed to avoid Violet and Miraidon's pursuit, eventually leaving the latter too exhausted to move. After Klawf was defeated, Arven used the [[Sweet Herba Mystica]] it was guarding to make sandwiches for everyone. The herb-filled sandwich successfully powered Miraidon up, giving it the ability to dash, much to Violet's delight.

In [[PASV10]], Arven convinced Violet he needed to train himself to use Miraidon's new speed efficiently so they wouldn't crash into wild Pokémon all the time. While training, Arven received word of a new Titan Pokémon, and the three set out to find it. Upon discovering Titan {{p|Bombirdier}}, they were met with a barrage of boulders raining down the path. Putting their training to the test, Violet and Miraidon successfully reached Bombirdier, allowing the Trainers to battle it. After defeating it, Arven made sandwiches with the [[Bitter Herba Mystica]]. The herb-filled sandwich powered Miraidon up once again, giving it the ability to swim.

In [[PASV14]], while trying to raid [[Team Star]]'s Fire crew, the Schedar Squad, Violet encountered {{Scarlet}}, who wanted to borrow Miraidon to help her find the [[treasures of ruin]]. When Violet refused, Scarlet tied him up with her {{p|Tarountula}}'s thread and stole the Paradox Pokémon. Miraidon, instead of listening to her, raced off towards Arven to eat a sandwich.

In [[PASV17]], Scarlet and Arven sought out and fought {{p|Orthworm}}, the Lurking Steel Titan. During the battle, it was revealed that Miraidon could sense the Herba Mystica connected to the Titan Pokémon and would pursue them without encouragement. It chased down the elusive Pokémon across [[East Province (Area Three)]] until they were able to reconnect with Violet and defeat it. Afterward, Arven made sandwiches with the [[Salty Herba Mystica]]. The herb-filled sandwich powered Miraidon up once again, giving it the ability to jump higher. Scarlet, realizing Miraidon wasn't at full strength, returned it to Violet for the time being.

Violet and Arven returned to [[Asado Desert]] to defeat {{p|Iron Treads}}, The Quaking Earth Titan. They quickly ran into complications when it was revealed that Iron Treads had shared its Herba Mystica with a {{p|Great Tusk}}, creating a second Titan Pokémon to defeat. Miraidon led Violet into battle while Arven rode Violet's {{p|Cyclizar}}, with the two Dragon-types working together to distract and tire out the Titans. Eventually, with help from [[Kofu]] and [[Saguaro]], the Titans were defeated. Afterward, Arven made sandwiches with the [[Sour Herba Mystica]]. The herb-filled sandwich powered Miraidon up once again, giving it the ability to glide.

====Personality and characteristics====
[[File:Violet Miraidon sandwich thinking.png|175px|thumb|Miraidon thinking about eating one of [[Arven]]'s sandwiches]]
Miraidon has a voracious appetite, which is best shown over its love of sandwiches-specifically ones made by Arven. Its appetite is so strong that it has chowed down on [[Old Roto]] multiple times in an attempt to eat one of Arven's meals and ran away from Violet for the potential to enjoy one. After losing its strength, it chose to stay with Violet due to his kindness and willingness to continue feeding it. It is a fast Pokémon perfect for races, a befitting trait alongside Violet's self-proclaimed title as the "Prince of Speed".

Miraidon can sense the [[Herba Mystica]] that [[Titan Pokémon]] have consumed and will give chase without being ordered to.

==Trivia==
*Miraidon and {{ga|Koraidon}} are the only [[Legendary Pokémon]] available to the player at the start of the game, although they can't be used in battle until the end of the main story.
* Despite it originally being registered to Turo's ID, by the time the player can use it in battle, it is registered to the player's ID. The same is also true with Koraidon and [[Professor Sada]]. However, this is not the case in the battle against the Paradise Protection Protocol, as Miraidon's met data is incomplete at that time.<ref>[https://twitter.com/orangeauroratwt/status/1634778456805494786 @orangeauroratwt on Twitter]</ref>

'''Ann''' (Japanese: '''アン''' ''Ann'') is a character in {{aniseries|HZ}}. She is a student at [[Indigo Academy]] and a friend and roommate of [[Liko]].

==In animation==
===History===
[[File:Liko and Ann.png|left|250px|thumb|Ann and Liko]]
Ann first appeared in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]''. She met [[Liko]] when she arrived at the room they were sharing together. After getting the [[Pokédex]] installed on her [[Rotom Phone]], she was given {{p|Oshawott}} to be her [[first partner Pokémon]]. The next day, Ann had her first ever Pokémon battle, using Oshawott to battle against [[Liko's Sprigatito]], which was soon called off. One night, Ann spotted Liko looking at [[Diana|her grandmother]]'s pendant and asked about it.

After Liko noticed how close she and Oshawott were compared to how close she was with her Sprigatito, Ann gave her advice. When the time came for a school break, Ann headed home, leaving Liko at the academy.

Ann reappeared in ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'', when she spoke to Liko after she had joined the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]].

In ''[[HZ008|The Door That Never Opens]]'', Ann spoke to Liko when she attended a class online. During the conversation, the two talked about the live stream that [[Dot|Nidothing]] would do in a few hours.

In ''[[HZ021|The Lonely Hatenna]]'', she contacted Liko and revealed that she had acquired her second Pokémon in the form of her {{p|Sandshrew}}.

In ''[[HZ035|The Wild Pair, Friede and Cap!]]'', Ann spoke with Liko before class and noted that she had caught a {{TP|Liko|Hatenna}}. Ann appeared again when Liko gave her presentation for class.

In ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]'', Ann arrived at [[Naranja Academy]], having enrolled as a temporary student to train for [[Tera Training]]. After reuniting with Liko, she met [[Roy]] and [[Dot]] and had a battle with Liko, using her {{p|Dewott}} to battle against {{p|Floragato}}. After a tough battle, Liko emerged victorious.

During her Tera Training journey, Ann received her challenge, and managed to pass her first exam.

In ''[[HZ054|The Treasure of Eternity]]'', Ann met up again with Liko and her friends and, after being introduced to {{an|Terapagos}}, she spent the day with them. During the return to Naranja Academy, Ann revealed to Liko her real feelings as a Trainer and together they arrived at [[Mesagoza]]. In the [[HZ055|next episode]], Ann stayed with Liko and her friends while they received information that they would participate in a battle against members of [[Paldea]]'s [[Elite Four]]. During the battles, Ann watched the matches with Liko. In ''[[HZ056|Liko vs. Rika! Towards the Battle's End]]'', she watched her friend and [[Katy]]'s battle against [[Rika]] alongside {{an|Nemona}} and Roy.

In ''[[HZ057|The Terapagos I Don't Know]]'', Ann was seen with the other students during [[Clavell]]'s speech that began the second part of the Training. Despite this, her Gym challenge was not revealed.
[[File:Ann vs Niko HZ066.png|250px|thumb|Ann battling Niko in the [[Tera Training Student Battle Tournament]]]]
In ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]'', Ann participated in the [[Tera Training Student Battle Tournament]] at the Naranja Academy, where she faced [[Niko]]. In the [[HZ067|next episode]], Ann took care of Terapagos while Liko battled Roy, and during the climax of the battle, Ann joined the others in cheering for her friends. After the conclusion of Tera Training and the tournament, Ann revealed to Liko that she was returning to [[Kanto]] to continue her studies at [[Indigo Academy]] and that she would like to face Liko again when she is stronger.

Ann reappeared in a flashback in ''[[HZ085|The Pokémon Paradise of Laqua!]]''.

One year later, in ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', some time after Liko returned to Indigo Academy, Ann was heard telling her roommate that she was going to be late for class.

In ''[[HZ090|Eyes to the Skies Once Again, Part 1]]'', Ann was seen with Liko attending a class on {{DL|Type|type effectiveness}}. After the class, she went with her new and evolved {{p|Samurott}} for the second part of the class, leaving Liko in the classroom. In the past year, Ann has become one of the best students at Indigo Academy, standing out for the Selection Team, which competes for a spot in the [[Pokémon League]]. During a battle against a Trainer and her {{p|Wartortle}}, Liko discovered that Ann had received an offer to join [[Blueberry Academy]] from the institution's [[Cyrano|director]].
[[File:Ann Vs Roy HZ091.png|left|250px|thumb|Ann vs Roy]]
At night, the two talked about everything Liko had been through in the last few months, which made Liko think about her feelings after the events in [[Laqua]]. The next day, Ann talked to Liko about the offer she received and how the possibility of being in the Pokémon League was getting closer and closer. Some time later, Ann tried to defend the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] from some students, seeing that this subject still made Liko sad.

In ''[[HZ091|Eyes to the Skies Once Again, Part 2]]'', Ann met up with Roy again when he went to the Indigo Academy to seek Liko's help. Then in the cafeteria, the three talked about what happened to the Rising Volt Tacklers and all the public manipulation that [[Exceed]] and [[Spinel]] did on top of the events in Laqua. When Liko decided to go after {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}}, who had disappeared, Ann challenged Roy to a Pokémon battle, where, despite giving her best, Samurott was defeated by Roy's Lucario.

This battle began to draw the attention of some students at Indigo Academy because of Roy's affiliation with the Rising Volt Tacklers. After the battle, it was Liko's turn to battle and Ann served as the referee. Afterwards, Ann was approached by some students due to Roy's presence and Liko intervened and exposed that she herself is a member of the Rising Volt Tacklers, thus revealing the whole truth to those present. After Liko decided to continue traveling with Roy, Ann and Roy had a conversation about how the last year was for Liko and the three said goodbye at the bus stop. Alongside her Pokémon, Ann once again saw Liko start over, this time trying to expose the whole truth.

Ann was mentioned by Liko in ''[[HZ111|Better, Farther, Stronger!]]'', where she revealed that Ann accepted [[Cyrano]]'s invitation and became an exchange student at Blueberry Academy.

In [[HZ115]], Ann had a [[Double Battle]] with [[Lacey]], but the outcome of the battle was unknown. After reuniting with Liko, Roy, and Dot, Ann met [[Ult]] for the first time before watching Roy in a Double Battle against Nemona.

In [[HZ127]], Ann had a battle against Liko, using her Samurott to battle against [[Liko's Armarouge]]. After a tough battle, both Pokémon were defeated, resulting in a double knockout.

===Character===
[[File:Ann party.png|250px|thumb|Ann and her Pokémon]]
Ann is an energetic girl who is very extroverted. She has a habit of being messy, but is shown to be considerate, keeping her mess to herself. She expresses concern and encourages her close friend [[Liko]] to try and understand her partner Pokémon.

In ''[[HZ021|The Lonely Hatenna]]'', Ann revealed that she wants to be a {{pkmn|Trainer}} that focuses on {{pkmn|battle}}s, while Liko was still figuring out her path at the time. In ''[[HZ054|The Treasure of Eternity]]'', Ann revealed that her main goal was the [[Pokémon League]].

A year later, Ann had gained significant reputation and respect within Indigo Academy. This prestige led to her receiving invitations to join other Academies, including an exchange student program in [[Blueberry Academy]] from director [[Cyrano]] himself, which she accepted before ''[[HZ111|Better, Farther, Stronger!]]''.

===Pokémon===
Ann's Pokémon are very close and friendly to each other. Ann is also very attached to her Pokémon, to the point that she considers them the biggest reason she follows through on her dreams.

Despite being a beginner {{pkmn|Trainer}} like [[Liko]], her Dewott managed to stand its ground despite her Pokémon's weakness against Floragato. Ann is also a versatile Trainer, using specific [[move]]s on her Pokémon to cover their weaknesses, as analyzed by [[Rika]].
