[[Image:Audrey_Catherine.jpg|thumb|Audrey and Kathryn with Surskit (left) and Masquerain]]
Surskit first appeared in ''[[AG049|Maxxed Out]]''. It was owned by a boy named {{Ho|Max}}, the doppelganger of [[Max|May's little brother]], who intends for it to be his [[Starter Pokémon]]. This made May's brother jealous as he did not know what his Starter Pokémon would be at that time.

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

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

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

A Surskit appeared in [[DP089]].

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] combination as Surskit.
* Surskit is the only Pokémon that, when it evolves, loses its {{type2|Water}}.
* Surskit is, along with {{p|Wingull}} and {{p|Magikarp}}, the only {{t|Water}}-type that cannot learn {{m|Surf}}.
* Due to [[Misty]]'s fear of {{t|Bug}}-type Pokémon and her love of {{t|Water}}-types, it would be interesting to see how she would react to Surskit.
* The only {{t|Bug}} type moves Surskit can learn are through [[breeding]].
===Origin===
This [[Pokémon]] is based on the {{wp|water strider}}.
====Name origin====
Surskit's name comes from a combination of ''surf'' or ''surface'' and ''skit''. ''Ametama'' is probably a combination of 雨 ''ame'', rain, and 玉 ''tama'', sphere, although the latter could also be 魂 ''tama'', spirit. The Japanese name could also include アメンボ ''amenbo'', pond skater.

'''Probopass''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ダイノーズ''' ''Dainose'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Steel}} Pokémon. It is the evolved form of {{p|Nosepass}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Probopass has small round eyes, in contrast to Nosepass's perpetually closed ones. Its nose is much bigger in proportion to its body and has a bushy "mustache." The "mustache" appears to be iron filings caught by its magnetic nose. It has three small objects on its sides and back that look like Nosepass; they are called "Mini-Noses" by the [[Pokédex]]. These "Mini-Noses" can be detached and form a new {{p|Nosepass}}. It also has a big hat-like magnet on top of its head.

====Gender differences====

Probopass appeared in ''[[DP058|Nosing 'Round The Mountain!]]'', under [[Alan]]'s ownership.

In [[DP062]] [[Professor Oak's Lecture]] was on Probopass.

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Special]], {{Special|Diamond}} was separated from {{Special|Pearl}} and {{Special|Berlitz}} because of [[Cyrus]]'s Probopass and {{p|Magnezone}}.

==Trivia==
* Some have cited Probopass's shiny form to have a resemblance to Mario, another Nintendo character, probably due to the moustache under its compass nose, and the red 'hat' upon its head.
* Probopass slightly resembles a {{wp|Mr. Potato Head}}.

===Origin===
Probopass is based off of the {{wp|pukau}}-wearing {{wp|moai}} statues of {{wp|Easter Island}} (with a mustache added).
====Name origin====
Probopass is a combination of ''{{wp|proboscis}}'' and ''{{wp|compass}}''. Dainose's name is a combination of 大 ''dai'', big, and ''nose'' – thus literally meaning "big nose." Its German name, Voluminas, comes from ''{{tt|voluminös|voluminous}}'' and ''{{tt|Nase|nose}}''. Its French name, Tarinorme, comes from ''{{tt|tarin|nose}}'' and ''{{tt|énorme|huge}}''.

Poké Radar

2008-08-23T21:36:59Z

Resolver13:

The '''Poké Radar''' (Japanese: '''ポケトレ''' ''Poké Tore'') is a [[key item]] in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]] that is used to seek out [[wild Pokémon]] hiding in long grass. Like the [[Vs Seeker]], its battery must be charged after use by walking around. It takes fifty steps to fully charge the Poké Radar.

After [[the player]] has seen every Pokémon in the [[Sinnoh Dex]], they will be able to meet [[Professor Oak]] in [[Professor Rowan]]'s lab in [[Sandgem Town]]. After upgrading the [[Pokédex]] to the [[National Dex|National model]], he will also give away the Poké Radar, but will not explain it very thoroughly.

It can only be used in the standard tall grass, while on foot, at which point, a tune will begin to play, and one or more patches of the long grass will begin to move. Patches that shake more violently than others are oftentimes more rare Pokémon, including Pokémon exclusive to the use of the Poké Radar. When a player walks into one of these moving patches, a [[battle]] with a wild Pokémon will instantly begin.

If the Pokémon that is found is [[faint]]ed or [[captured Pokémon|captured]] in a [[Poké Ball]], a '''chain''' will begin. These chains consist of multiple members of the same [[Pokémon]] species (such as {{p|Farfetch'd}}) encountered one after another. The only catch is this: a player must not encounter any Pokémon just by walking through non-wiggling grass, only by walking into the grass that shakes, therefore, it is recommended that [[Repel]] is used in order to ensure this and get a higher chain. Also, going into the same type of grassy patch the chain was started in that is the farthest away increases the chances of meeting the same kind of Pokémon consecutively.
One of the many functions of the [[Pokétch]] is to display the current chain and the three best chains made so far.
[[Image:PokéRadarShinyFormula.png|thumb|right|The formula for the probability of finding a shiny Pokémon. Nc is the number of Pokémon in the chain, up to 40.]]
Long chains increase the chance of finding a [[Alternate coloration|shiny]] Pokémon, which is indicated by the patch of grass glowing white twice rather than shaking.

I don't understand it but it looks interesting.
--[[User:Scwizard|Scwizard]] 00:03, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

== Chains ==

Unless it's just my crappy luck, catching Pokemon doesn't always continue a chain; usually it works only half the time. Similarly, most of my chains consist of three or four Pokemon (five at the most, so far), even with the help of Max Repels, before encountering an entirely new species (ie, four Bagons, then Machop). The article is very misleading in that, unless it's just my own interpretation, it almost guarantees you'll encounter Bagon after Bagon after Bagon until you do something to break the chain rather than chains simply ending on their own like what has happened to me on more than several occasions. I would alter the article myself, but I would like to listen to the comments of others first. // [[User:Szayel Aporro|'''''SzayelAporro''''']] 21:14, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
:The method itself is not wrong - it has been proven through lots of testing. However, I think there are some subtleties to continuing the chain that need to be made more clear. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] [[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|T]]-[[Special:Contributions/Fabu-Vinny|C]]-[[User:Fabu-Vinny/Sandbox|S]] 21:23, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

=="Formula"==
Cam someone please describe the formula for catchin a shiny in words? Im not a super genius.....[[Image:491.png|45px 45px]][[User:Kpokefan|'''K''']][[User talk:Kpokefan|'''P''']][[User:Kpokefan/Missions|'''F''']][[Image:Cal.png|30px 30px]] 18:20, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
:Your chances of encountering one are 1 out of 8192. That not hard to understand.--[[User:Urutapu|Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？]] ([[User talk:Urutapu|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Urutapu|contribs]]) 23:34, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

is that ''it''? im talkin bout using the radar, how it improves the chances! [[Image:491.png|45px 45px]][[User:Kpokefan|'''K''']][[User talk:Kpokefan|'''P''']][[User:Kpokefan/Missions|'''F''']][[Image:Cal.png|30px 30px]] 00:09, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

By using the radar and building a chain, your odds of finding a shiny pokemon increases to about .5%(1 in 200) at 40 pokemon chained, way better than 1 in 8192. So if you really want shiny pokemon, the radar is the way to go. There are still pokemon that you can't get with the radar though, for those pokemon you're stuck at 1 in 8192.

Theoretically, you couldn't chain over 40 because at 41 the formula divides by 0, and beyond 41 you have negative percentages. However I've seen various accounts of people chaining above 40, so it is possible.

Resolver13:

After reading the article, I'm still not sure how this cave works.

Is it a set puzzle (ie. is there a specific order of directions to follow in order to reach Giratina in just three rooms), or is it totally random whether the next room will contain a pillar or not?

The answer should probably be worked into the article somehow. -[[User:Pat|Pat]] 15:32, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

I also have a concern/question. You see, I reached Giratina in 6 rooms, and then caught it. When I went back to get the item, I found a reaper cloth which, according to the article, is the wrong item. [[User:Resolver13|Resolver13]] 06:55, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

I don't understand it but it looks interesting.

== Chains ==

Unless it's just my crappy luck, catching Pokemon doesn't always continue a chain; usually it works only half the time. Similarly, most of my chains consist of three or four Pokemon (five at the most, so far), even with the help of Max Repels, before encountering an entirely new species (ie, four Bagons, then Machop). The article is very misleading in that, unless it's just my own interpretation, it almost guarantees you'll encounter Bagon after Bagon after Bagon until you do something to break the chain rather than chains simply ending on their own like what has happened to me on more than several occasions. I would alter the article myself, but I would like to listen to the comments of others first. // [[User:Szayel Aporro|'''''SzayelAporro''''']] 21:14, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
:The method itself is not wrong - it has been proven through lots of testing. However, I think there are some subtleties to continuing the chain that need to be made more clear. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] [[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|T]]-[[Special:Contributions/Fabu-Vinny|C]]-[[User:Fabu-Vinny/Sandbox|S]] 21:23, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

=="Formula"==
Cam someone please describe the formula for catchin a shiny in words? Im not a super genius.....[[Image:491.png|45px 45px]][[User:Kpokefan|'''K''']][[User talk:Kpokefan|'''P''']][[User:Kpokefan/Missions|'''F''']][[Image:Cal.png|30px 30px]] 18:20, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
:Your chances of encountering one are 1 out of 8192. That not hard to understand.--[[User:Urutapu|Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？]] ([[User talk:Urutapu|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Urutapu|contribs]]) 23:34, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

is that ''it''? im talkin bout using the radar, how it improves the chances! [[Image:491.png|45px 45px]][[User:Kpokefan|'''K''']][[User talk:Kpokefan|'''P''']][[User:Kpokefan/Missions|'''F''']][[Image:Cal.png|30px 30px]] 00:09, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

By using the radar and building a chain, your odds of finding a shiny pokemon increases to about .5%(1 in 200) at 40 pokemon chained, way better than 1 in 8192. So if you really want shiny pokemon, the radar is the way to go. There are still pokemon that you can't get with the radar though, for those pokemon you're stuck at 1 in 8192.

You can't chain over 40 because at 41 the formula divides by 0, and beyond 41 you have negative percentages.

'''Staraptor''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ムクホーク''' ''Mukuhawk'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} Pokémon.

Staraptor evolves from {{p|Staravia}} at Level 34.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Staraptor bares a resemblance to a cross between a large gray and white starling and a hawk. It also shares similarities with the great-horned owl and harpy eagle. The "M" on the center of its chest resembles the first letter of its Japanese name (''Mukuhawk''). The downward crest on its head makes it appear larger in order to frighten its enemies.

====Gender differences====
A female has a smaller white spot on its forehead.

====Special abilities====

===Behavior===
Staraptor are a highly aggressive and dangerous flying-type Pokémon. They often live alone, or with a mate. They are found during the day often soaring up high in the sky searching for prey below. In the mornings and the evenings, they are found at their favorite roost, preening or eating their catch. At night, they roost high in their favorite trees.

===Habitat===

Staraptor live in an array of habitats including open forest, grassland, wetland, mountains, and coniferous forests.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Staraptor have the strength and the stamina to capture and eat prey larger than itself. They circle the prey from high above in the air, then dive and snatch up the prey then, finish it off with their sharp beaks.

===In the anime===
[[Image:AnimeMukuhawk.jpg|thumb|Staraptor in the anime]]
Staraptor first appeared in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage]]''. {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} unintentionally hit Staraptor with {{m|BubbleBeam}} and caused it to use {{m|Gust}} which wrecked [[Professor Rowan]]'s lab.

A Staraptor belonging to [[Reggie]] appeared in ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]'' and started teaching Ash's {{AP|Staravia}} {{m|Brave Bird}}.

After [[J]] dropped {{Ash}} out of her airship in [[DP072]], he was saved by a Staraptor that [[Hajime]] had captured with his Capture Styler.

'''Linoone''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マッスグマ''' ''Massuguma'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Linoone are little weasel/badger-like creatures. Their long bodies are like a weasel's, and their sharp elongated claws are like a badger's. They also have small sharp teeth that are efficiently used with their claws in hunting.

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

====Special abilities====
Since Linoone have a keen sense of smell, they are able to locate and {{a|Pickup}} items while its trainer walks around.

When the Generation IV games were introduced, Linoone was given another ability. Due to the fact that it loves berries more than almost anything else, it is a complete {{a2|Gluttony|glutton}} when it comes to them.

===Behavior===
Linoone are incredibly fast, but they aren't the best at cornering, so they typically run in a straight line. Linoone have an attraction to anything round, and will grab any round object they see if given the chance. They carry a snatched object in their expandable cheek pouches and deposit it in any of a number of secret stashes they keep on their territory.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Grassland Pokémon|Grassland Pokémon]]]]

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Linoone anime.jpg|thumb|right|170px|A Linoone helping [[Ash's Pikachu]]]]
Linoone made a cameo in ''[[Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' as one of the Pokémon living in [[Forina]].

In ''[[AG112|Showdown at Linoone]]'', a Linoone nicknamed "Token" had developed a bad habit of stealing anything round.

In ''[[AG155|Green Guardian]]'', [[Solana]] used her device to get help from plenty of Linoone to slash the wipes.

In ''[[DP005|Gettin' Twiggy With It!]]'', an injured Linoone is nursed back to health.

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

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
[[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]]: When {{p|Chikorita}} uses {{m|Razor Leaf}} on the Ruby Field, two Linoone will pop out. Hitting the left Linoone will make a {{p|Gulpin}} appear, activating Travel Mode when there are three Gulpin on the table. Hitting the right Linoone will change the stance of {{p|Makuhita}} allowing it to punch the ball towards the Upgrade.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Dex

==Trivia==
Linoone's [[Generation IV]] sprite is very similar to its [[Generation III]] sprite. The only change is Linoone's left back leg.
===Origin===
Linoone is probably based on a {{wp|badger}}.
====Name origin====
Linoone's name may be a combination of ''line'', referring to its sleek appearance, and ''{{wp|raccoon}}''. It could also be referring to its ability to only run in straight lines. Its Japanese name may be a combination of ''mass'', referring to its growth since evolving, and 穴熊 ''anaguma'', badger. Some also say that its name is derived from まっすぐ ''massugu'', meaning straight, as in a line.

'''Pinsir''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カイロス''' ''Kailios'') is a {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon. It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Pinsir come with the [[Ability|abilities]] {{a|Hyper Cutter}}, which prevents {{stat|Attack}} reduction, or {{a|Mold Breaker}}, which allows the user to use moves regardless of the target's ability.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Pinsir has a brown body with a large pair of white horns that are dotted in small spikes. Pinsir has short legs with three toes each and skinny, three-clawed arms. Pinsir's mouth has long, flat teeth.
====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
Pinsir's horns have enough crushing power to shatter thick logs and can allow Pinsir to lift things twice its own weight.

===Behavior===
Pinsir's movements are made sluggish when exposed to cold weather, so they hide in burrows, treetops or tree roots during chilly nights. Pinsir are also known to dig holes to sleep in by using their horns to dig.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Forest.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Forest Pokémon|Forest Pokémon]]]]
Pinsir are mostly found in jungle-like areas, but have also been imported into [[Kanto]]'s [[Kanto Safari Zone|Safari Zone]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:EP004 010.jpg|right|thumb|[[Samurai|Samurai's]] Pinsir.]]
Pinsir first appeared in ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]''. A [[samurai]] used it to battle against {{Ash}}.

At the beginning of ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', Raymond used a Pinsir to battle [[Ash's Pikachu]], alongside his {{p|Golem}} and {{p|Venomoth}}. All three of Raymond's Pokémon were defeated by Pikachu.

Pinsir made an appearance on an island that was mainly inhabited by Bug-type Pokémon in ''[[EP097|Tracey Gets Bugged]]''.

In ''[[EP119|A Sappy Ending]]'', Pinsir were being driven into a forest that was {{p|Heracross}} territory because [[Team Rocket]] was stealing the sap from the trees that were in their territory.

Pinsir was also being used by a building company that had plans on demolishing a [[Pokémon Center]] in ''[[H013|Celebi and Joy]]''.

[[Anthony (coordinator)|Anthony]] was using {{p|Swalot}} and Pinsir for the double-battle portion of the [[Grand Festival]] in ''[[AG123|Rhapsody in Drew]]''. However, he lost to [[May (anime)|May]].

[[Gary Oak]] also has a Pinsir, which was seen in his profile in ''[[EP269|The Ties that Bind!]]''.

Pinsir has made a cameo in ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]'' as a Pokémon belonging to [[Factory Head Noland|Noland]].

[[Howie]], a [[character of the day]] in ''[[AG175|The Ole' Berate and Switch]]'', has a Pinsir. [[Ash's Corphish]] battled against this Pinsir during a bogus competion that [[Team Rocket]] created.

At the beginning of ''[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', [[The Phantom]] used this Stagbeetle Pokémon alongside {{p|Parasect}} to attack [[Jack Walker]].

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

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]: Pinsir stars in a mini-game alongside {{p|Scyther}} called "Clear Cut Challenge." Each player chops a falling log for each round of the game. The score for each player is determined by how close you are to the white line on the log. Cut anywhere above the log will cause you to lose points.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Dex
|type=bug
|gen=1
|redbluedex=If it fails to crush the victim in its pincers, it will swing it around and {{m2|Seismic Toss|toss}} it hard.
|yellowdex=Grips its prey in its pincers and squeezes hard! It can't move if it's cold, so it lives in warm places.
|golddex=With its horns, it digs burrows to sleep in at night. In the morning, damp soil clings to its body.
|silverdex=Swings its long antlers wildly to attack. During cold periods, it hides deep in forests.
|crystaldex=When the temperature drops at night, it sleeps on treetops or among roots where it is well hidden.
|stadium2dex=With its horns, it digs burrows to sleep in at night. In the morning, damp soil clings to its body.
|rubydex=Pinsir is astoundingly strong. It can grip a foe weighing twice its weight in its horns and easily lift it. This Pokémon's movements turn sluggish in cold places.
|sapphiredex=Pinsir has a pair of massive horns. Protruding from the surface of these horns are thorns. These thorns are driven deeply into the foe's body when the pincer closes, making it tough for the foe to escape.
|emeralddex=Their pincers are strong enough to shatter thick logs. Because they dislike cold, Pinsir burrow and sleep under the ground on chilly nights.
|firereddex=Its two long pincer horns are powerful. Once they grip an enemy, they won't release until the foe is torn.
|leafgreendex=If it fails to crush the foe in its pincers, it will swing around and toss the opponent.
|stadiumdex=Grips and tears at its enemy with the two pincers on its head. Enemies with hard bodies are {{m2|ViceGrip|gripped}} and {{m2|Seismic Toss|tossed}}.
|diamonddex=It grips prey with its pincers until the prey is {{m2|Guillotine|torn in half}}. What it can't tear, it tosses far.
|pearldex=It grips prey with its pincers until the prey is torn in half. What it can't tear, it tosses far.

==Trivia==
* Although Pinsir was introduced in [[Generation I]] as a pure {{type2|Bug}}, it could not learn any Bug-type attacks by level-up until [[Generation IV]].
* Pinsir is the only pure Bug-type Pokémon that does not have either a [[gender]] counterpart or an evolution.
* Before the release of {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, it was speculated that {{p|Heracross}} would be a pre-evolution or evolution of {{P|Pinsir}}.
*Pinsir has the highest Attack and Defense of all Generation I Bug-types.
*While in [[Generation I]], Pinsir and Scyther were version counterparts, in [[Generation II]] Scyther got an evolution and Pinsir did not.
*Pinsir's movepool is more similar to a {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon than to a {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
It is based on a {{wp|stag beetle}}.

====Name origin====
Pinsir's name is a corruption of ''pincer'', referring to the claws on its head. Its Japanese name may be based on 傀 ''kai'', large, or 魁偉 ''kaii'', brawny. It could also be a combination of the Japanese 刈 ''kai'', cut, and the {{wp|Greek language|Greek}} word for bug, κοριός ''korios''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Pinsir
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Scarabrute - A combination of ''scarabée'', a type of beetle that was sacred in {{wp|Ancient Egypt}}, and ''brute''.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 쁘사이저 ''Ppeusaijeo''
