'''Oddish''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ナゾノクサ''' ''Nazonokusa'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Gloom}} starting at [[level]] 21, who evolves into {{p|Vileplume}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Leaf Stone}}, or into {{p|Bellossom}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Sun Stone}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Oddish looks like a blue plant bulb with round feet, beady red eyes, and five leaves sprouting from its head. The top of the center leaf bends backwards.

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

====Special abilities====
Oddish, like many other {{type2|Grass}}s, can utilize the [[sun#Intense sunlight|sun]] to become faster in sunlight. Oddish is also able to learn spore-based moves like {{m|PoisonPowder}} and {{m|Sleep Powder}}, and restore health in moonlight.

===Behavior===
[[File:Oddish planted.png|200px|left|thumb|Oddish planted in the ground]]
Oddish searches for fertile, nutrient-rich soil, then plants itself. During the daytime, while it is planted, its feet are thought to change shape and become similar to the roots of trees. Oddish grows by absorbing moonlight, and the more fertile the soil, the glossier its leaves become. As only its leaves are exposed aboveground when it is buried into the soil, in order to avoid detection by enemies, it is said to look like a clump of weeds. It is also said to scream loudly if anyone tries to yank it out. Oddish is nocturnal, and awakes upon being exposed to moonlight. Upon awakening, it roams about actively, walking nearly 1000 feet and scattering its seeds to create more Oddish.

===Habitat===
[[File:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Oddish live in grassy plains, and can also be found in tropical areas such as jungles and swamps, where the ground is rich in nutrients. They are very common, being native to [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], and [[Sinnoh]]. They have also been recorded living in the [[White Forest]] in [[Unova]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Oddish most likely {{m|Ingrain|absorb some nutrients}} from the ground when they are buried.

==In the anime==
[[File:Eliza strong Oddish.png|thumb|200px|Oddish in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
An Oddish owned by {{jo|Mariah}} wanted to fly with its {{p|Hoppip}} friends in ''[[EP137|Foul Weather Friends]]'', even trying to color itself pink like a Hoppip. While it never flies, it still proves powerful enough to defeat [[Team Rocket]] on its own.

===Minor appearances===
Oddish are commonly found in the anime. Most of the time they play the victim and are usually being chased or attacked.

{{an|Misty}} attempts to catch an Oddish in ''[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]]'' despite not being a {{type2|Water}} because she thought it was cute. She is prevented from doing so by a {{AP|Bulbasaur}}. Misty later apologized to it for trying to catch it while in the Hidden Village.

[[James]]'s fiancée, [[Jessiebelle]], had an Oddish when she was a little girl, before it evolved into a Gloom and soon after, into a Vileplume.

Oddish is one of Pokémon in the [[Pichu Brothers]]' Possé.

An Oddish was used by one of the students of the [[Pokémon Trainer's School]] in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]''.

Four Oddish appeared in ''[[AG047|I Feel Skitty!]]'', one of which was owned by [[Eliza]].

An Oddish appeared in ''[[AG119|The Ribbon Cup Caper]]'' at the ship's Pokémon Center.

An Oddish appeared in ''[[AG143|The Saffron Con]]'' as a Pokémon owned by a Coordinator.

Oddish also appeared in ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part One]]''.

An Oddish appeared in ''[[DP088|Camping It Up!]]''.

Oddish appeared in ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'' as a few of the many local Pokémon who lives in [[Crown City]]. Three Oddish worked with several other Pokémon in surrounding {{OBP|Zorua|movie 13}} in the park to attack him, angry at Zorua for what {{OBP|Zoroark|movie 13}} did to the city. Before a fight broke out, the Oddish, along with the other Pokémon, were calmed by {{OBP|Celebi|movie 13}}.

[[File:Ash Oddish EToP.png|thumb|right|Ash's Oddish in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
{{Ash}} owns an Oddish in the manga [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. It is one of the few Pokémon that Ash owns in the manga but not in the {{pkmn|anime}}.

Oddish first appears in the chapter ''[[ET08|You Gotta Have Friends]]''. Its capture is not shown, instead, it appears with several of Ash's other Pokémon with a note explaining that "Ash has been very busy since the last comic".

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Oddish was one of the Pokémon seen during the mass migration of Pokémon at the [[Seafoam Islands]] ([[PS063|Chapter 063]]).

==Trivia==
*In [[Generation II]], [[Bill's grandfather]] asks the player to bring him a ''round'', ''green'' Pokémon that has leaves growing on its head, which is obviously Oddish. However, in those games, and in subsequent generations, Oddish's body (unless it is {{shiny}}) is blue. The mistake might have been a translation error caused by the ambiguity of the word "aoi", which can mean both blue and green. This is fixed in HeartGold and SoulSilver.
*Oddish is one of the two only Pokémon so far to be revealed to have a scientific name: ''Oddium Wanderus''. The other one is {{p|Kabutops}}.
*In Pokémon Platinum, Oddish is the one of the few Pokémon not in the Sinnoh Pokédex, and not introduced in Generation IV, to have a new sprite. {{p|Muk}}, {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Hitmonlee}}, {{p|Ninetales}}, {{p|Krabby}}, {{p|Primeape}}, and {{p|Registeel}} are the others.
* Oddish is the first Pokémon in National Pokédex order to be part of a branched evolutionionary family.
* Despite several Pokédex entries stating that it buries itself into the ground during the day, and the fact that in several spin-off games it is seen doing it, it cannot learn the move {{m|Dig}}.
* Oddish can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Bellsprout}}. Both of them are {{t|Grass}}/{{type2|Poison}} {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} and are {{cat|Pokémon that are part of a three-stage evolutionary line|part of a three-stage evolutionary line}}, who evolve into their evolved forms at or above level 21, and whose second evolutionary event utilizes a {{evostone|Leaf Stone}}. Oddish is exclusive to [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red]] and [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed]], while Bellsprout is exclusive to [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Blue]] and [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|LeafGreen]], with both Pokémon found in the same locations in their respective versions. Additionally, both can be found at the [[White Forest]] in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon White]], and both Pokémon have had their {{pkmn|egg}} designs revealed.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Oddish}}
Oddish is most likely based on a {{wp|mandrake (plant)|mandrake}}.

====Name origin====
Oddish's name is a combination of the words ''odd'' and the vegetable known as ''{{wp|radish}}'', although ''oddish'' is a word in itself, meaning somewhat odd. ''Nazonokusa'' may be taken to mean 謎の草, enigmatic grass.

'''Oddish''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ナゾノクサ''' ''Nazonokusa'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Gloom}} starting at [[level]] 21, who evolves into {{p|Vileplume}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Leaf Stone}}, or into {{p|Bellossom}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Sun Stone}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Oddish looks like a blue plant bulb with round feet, beady red eyes, and five leaves sprouting from its head. The top of the center leaf bends backwards.

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

====Special abilities====
Oddish, like many other {{type2|Grass}}s, can utilize the [[sun#Intense sunlight|sun]] to become faster in sunlight. Oddish is also able to learn spore-based moves like {{m|PoisonPowder}} and {{m|Sleep Powder}}, and restore health in moonlight.

===Behavior===
[[File:Oddish planted.png|200px|left|thumb|Oddish planted in the ground]]
Oddish searches for fertile, nutrient-rich soil, then plants itself. During the daytime, while it is planted, its feet are thought to change shape and become similar to the roots of trees. Oddish grows by absorbing moonlight, and the more fertile the soil, the glossier its leaves become. As only its leaves are exposed aboveground when it is buried into the soil, in order to avoid detection by enemies, it is said to look like a clump of weeds. It is also said to scream loudly if anyone tries to yank it out. Oddish is nocturnal, and awakes upon being exposed to moonlight. Upon awakening, it roams about actively, walking nearly 1000 feet and scattering its seeds to create more Oddish.

===Habitat===
[[File:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Oddish live in grassy plains, and can also be found in tropical areas such as jungles and swamps, where the ground is rich in nutrients. They are very common, being native to [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], and [[Sinnoh]]. They have also been recorded living in the [[White Forest]] in [[Unova]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Oddish most likely {{m|Ingrain|absorb some nutrients}} from the ground when they are buried.

==In the anime==
[[File:Eliza strong Oddish.png|thumb|200px|Oddish in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
An Oddish owned by {{jo|Mariah}} wanted to fly with its {{p|Hoppip}} friends in ''[[EP137|Foul Weather Friends]]'', even trying to color itself pink like a Hoppip. While it never flies, it still proves powerful enough to defeat [[Team Rocket]] on its own.

===Minor appearances===
Oddish are commonly found in the anime. Most of the time they play the victim and are usually being chased or attacked.

{{an|Misty}} attempts to catch an Oddish in ''[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]]'' despite not being a {{type2|Water}} because she thought it was cute. She is prevented from doing so by a {{AP|Bulbasaur}}. Misty later apologized to it for trying to catch it while in the Hidden Village.

[[James]]'s fiancée, [[Jessiebelle]], had an Oddish when she was a little girl, before it evolved into a Gloom and soon after, into a Vileplume.

Oddish is one of Pokémon in the [[Pichu Brothers]]' Possé.

An Oddish was used by one of the students of the [[Pokémon Trainer's School]] in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]''.

Four Oddish appeared in ''[[AG047|I Feel Skitty!]]'', one of which was owned by [[Eliza]].

An Oddish appeared in ''[[AG119|The Ribbon Cup Caper]]'' at the ship's Pokémon Center.

An Oddish appeared in ''[[AG143|The Saffron Con]]'' as a Pokémon owned by a Coordinator.

Oddish also appeared in ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part One]]''.

An Oddish appeared in ''[[DP088|Camping It Up!]]''.

Oddish appeared in ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'' as a few of the many local Pokémon who lives in [[Crown City]]. Three Oddish worked with several other Pokémon in surrounding {{OBP|Zorua|movie 13}} in the park to attack him, angry at Zorua for what {{OBP|Zoroark|movie 13}} did to the city. Before a fight broke out, the Oddish, along with the other Pokémon, were calmed by {{OBP|Celebi|movie 13}}.

==In the manga==
[[File:Ash Oddish EToP.png|thumb|right|Ash's Oddish in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
{{Ash}} owns an Oddish in the manga [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. It is one of the few Pokémon that Ash owns in the manga but not in the {{pkmn|anime}}.

Oddish first appears in the chapter ''[[ET08|You Gotta Have Friends]]''. Its capture is not shown, instead, it appears with several of Ash's other Pokémon with a note explaining that "Ash has been very busy since the last comic".

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Oddish was one of the Pokémon seen during the mass migration of Pokémon at the [[Seafoam Islands]] ([[PS063|Chapter 063]]).

==Trivia==
*In [[Generation II]], [[Bill's grandfather]] asks the player to bring him a ''round'', ''green'' Pokémon that has leaves growing on its head, which is obviously Oddish. However, in those games, and in subsequent generations, Oddish's body (unless it is {{shiny}}) is blue. The mistake might have been a translation error caused by the ambiguity of the word "aoi", which can mean both blue and green. This is fixed in HeartGold and SoulSilver.
*Oddish is one of the two only Pokémon so far to be revealed to have a scientific name: ''Oddium Wanderus''. The other one is {{p|Kabutops}}.
*In Pokémon Platinum, Oddish is the one of the few Pokémon not in the Sinnoh Pokédex, and not introduced in Generation IV, to have a new sprite. {{p|Muk}}, {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Hitmonlee}}, {{p|Ninetales}}, {{p|Krabby}}, {{p|Primeape}}, and {{p|Registeel}} are the others.
* Oddish is the first Pokémon in National Pokédex order to be part of a branched evolutionionary family.
* Despite several Pokédex entries stating that it buries itself into the ground during the day, and the fact that in several spin-off games it is seen doing it, it cannot learn the move {{m|Dig}}.
* Oddish can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Bellsprout}}. Both of them are {{t|Grass}}/{{type2|Poison}} {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} and are {{cat|Pokémon that are part of a three-stage evolutionary line|part of a three-stage evolutionary line}}, who evolve into their evolved forms at or above level 21, and whose second evolutionary event utilizes a {{evostone|Leaf Stone}}. Oddish is exclusive to [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red]] and [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed]], while Bellsprout is exclusive to [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Blue]] and [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|LeafGreen]], with both Pokémon found in the same locations in their respective versions. Additionally, both can be found at the [[White Forest]] in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon White]], and both Pokémon have had their {{pkmn|egg}} designs revealed.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Oddish}}
Oddish is most likely based on a {{wp|mandrake (plant)|mandrake}}.

====Name origin====
Oddish's name is a combination of the words ''odd'' and the vegetable known as ''{{wp|radish}}'', although ''oddish'' is a word in itself, meaning somewhat odd. ''Nazonokusa'' may be taken to mean 謎の草, enigmatic grass.

'''Professor Elm''' (Japanese: '''ウツギ博士''' ''Dr. Utsugi'') is the resident [[Pokémon Professor]] of [[New Bark Town]] in the [[Johto]] region. Saying so himself, Professor Elm studies unusual Pokémon abilities. He also specializes in [[Pokémon breeding]], and is credited with the discovery of [[Pokémon egg]]s. According to [[Professor Oak]], in {{v2|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Professor Elm "is the best when it comes to the research of [[Evolution|Pokémon evolution]]."

Elm gives one of the three [[starter Pokémon]] of Johto—{{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, and {{p|Totodile}}—to {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}{{sup|C}}, or {{ga|Lyra}}{{sup|HGSS}} so that he or she will have an easier time getting to [[Mr. Pokémon]]'s house.

==In the games==
[[Image:Professor Elm.png|thumb|right|Elm's art from Gold, Silver, and Crystal.|80px]]
Professor Elm works at his Laboratory in [[New Bark Town]] with his aide. He lives in a small house near his laboratory with his wife and son, who wants to grow up to be a [[Pokémon Professor]] like his dad. Elm is known for being a little scatter-brained and disorganized when he gets wrapped up with his research. He holds [[Professor Oak]] in high regards. At the start of Pokémon [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Gold, Silver]], [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Crystal]], [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold, and SoulSilver]] he gives the {{player}} his or her first [[starter Pokémon]].

After successfully hatching the {{pkmn|egg}} containing {{p|Togepi}}, he gives the player an {{evostone|Everstone}}.

Also, after defeating the [[Elite Four]], he gives the player a [[Master Ball]] and a ticket to the [[S.S. Aqua]].

===Pokémon===
====In Generation II====
In [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Gold, Silver]], and [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Crystal]], Professor Elm will give out one of these Pokémon to Trainers.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Professor Elm anime.png|220px|left|thumb|Professor Elm in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Elm was the top student of {{an|Professor Oak}}, and often argues with him over their research. Elm is also well known for his very long and unnecessary speeches. He is also absent-minded and Elm has a habit of getting incredibly wrapped up in his research that he is completely oblivious to his surroundings.

{{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} first met Professor Elm in the episode ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'dile]]''. After a period of travel, they met up again while he was studying in the [[Whirl Islands]] with [[Captain Marius]], and finally again when Ash returns to New Bark Town.

As the head of the Pokémon Preservation Council, he asked Ash to deliver an {{pkmn|egg}} that had been poached from Mt. Silver to him. This hatched into a {{AP|Larvitar}}, which Professor Elm then asked Ash to deliver to its home.

His most recent appearance was a short cameo in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]''.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], he was initially to be brought several Pokémon by [[Joey]] from [[Professor Oak]], but before that happened, the Totodile that he was studying was stolen, and he was knocked unconscious before he could do anything. Gold then arrived and took Cyndaquil as well to catch the thief.

After Gold first battled with the [[Masked Man]] at the [[Ilex Forest]] and lost, Elm was able to get a sample of his clothing and found particles on them, but he did not know what they were. Elm then contacted Gold when he was battling the Masked Man for a second time, informing him that the particles on the clothes are the same substance used for Gym Badges, and that the Masked Man must be a Gym Leader. He tells Gold that he shouldn't try to fight him, but Gold simply replies with "It's too late".

A while beforehand, he decided that Gold was trustworthy enough to try and hatch an egg for him, saying that it hadn't moved an inch while it was in the lab. While the egg did hatch into a {{p|Togepi}}, due to Gold's habits of visiting arcades while it was an egg, it learned how to play dice, pool, and poker, making Elm furious about how Gold had turned it into a delinquent. Little did he know, with Togepi's aggression came Gold's innate talent for bringing the fullest potential of baby Pokémon, allowing it to easily defeat the wild {{p|Gligar}} that tried to eat it right before it hatched (and the {{p|Tyranitar}} that {{adv|Silver}} borrowed from [[Lance]]).

Joey stays behind with him to help Elm with chores and research.

Afterwards, both Joey and Elm make a cameo in the [[Diamond & Pearl chapter (Adventures)|DP saga]], talking with [[Professor Rowan]] via videophone.

==Trivia==
* Professor Elm is the only {{pkmn|professor}} in the main series that doesn't welcome the player to the world of Pokémon at the start of the game. [[Professor Oak]] takes his place instead.
** As such, he is also the only Professor without a large in-game sprite, having only the overworld sprite.
* Professor Elm is also the only Professor to give the [[player character]] a [[starter Pokémon]] that does not also give them a [[Pokédex]].
* In the anime, Professor Elm is the only professor that didn't give one of his starter Pokémon to a main character.

I need help changing one of the type effects of Tentacool over to somewhere else. I am a new member so I don't know how to do all these changes so if someone can help that will be nice.

what needs to be changed is electric needs to be taken out of tentacool's weakness column and put in the regular effect column. if someone can tell me how to do that then that will be nice thanks again.

'''Tentacool''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メノクラゲ''' ''Menokurage'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Tentacruel}} starting at [[level]] 30.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Tentacool resembles a box jellyfish. It has a light blue, {{a|clear body}} with two large, transparent, crystal-like red eyes on each side of its body, and one small one in the middle. It has two tentacles laced with stinging cells. The tentacles extend from beneath its round, blue lower body, which has a cape-like formation in the back.

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

====Special abilities====
Tentacool absorbs sunlight and refracts it using water inside its body to convert it into beam energy, as seen in the episode ''[[EP019|Tentacool and Tentacruel]]''. It can also {{a|Liquid Ooze|ooze poison}} if threatened. Its evolution is able to control Pokémon it touches with its tentacles, but it is unknown if Tentacool have this ability.

===Behavior===

This Pokémon shoots beams from its crystal-like eyes, and are often found floating in shallow waters.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Sea.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon}}]]
Tentacool can be found throughout the ocean, usually congregating in places where warm currents and cold currents come together, and where minerals are plentiful. They are extremely common in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Tentacool anime.png|thumb|210px|Tentacool in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Tentacool's debut appearance was in the episode ''[[EP019|Tentacool and Tentacruel]]''.

===Minor appearances===
It also appeared in ''[[EP080|Friends to the End]]'' during [[Ritchie]] and [[Assunta]]'s battle. However, it is unknown who it belonged to.

A school of Tentacool appeared in a flashback in ''[[AG103|A Cacturne for the Worse]]''. {{an|May}} fears them due to being surrounded by them at one point, and her mother trying to catch her, thinking that ''she'' was a Tentacool.

A Tentacool appeared in ''[[DP089|Up Close and Personable!]]''.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
Tentacool's first appearance is a cameo in ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]'' as one of the Pokémon that escapes from [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]].

One of the members of the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] in [[Vermilion City]] apparently bathes with her Tentacool on a regular basis. She is seen again with her Tentacool in {{PAV|14}} during the Chairman's call out to all {{pkmn|Trainer}}s to send their Pokémon to help the fight in [[Ilex Forest]].

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Tentacool was originally known as "Jilly".
* Tentacool and {{p|Tentacruel}} are the only non-genderless Pokémon that can have the ability {{a|Clear Body}}.
* Tentacool was the first [[Generation IV hybrid]] [[glitch Pokémon]] discovered.
* Prior to [[Generation V]], Tentacool is one of the few Pokémon to be present in every Generation's regional Pokédex. Other Pokémon that are also present include: {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Raichu}}, {{p|Zubat}}, {{p|Golbat}}, {{p|Tentacruel}}, {{p|Magikarp}}, and {{p|Gyarados}}.

===Origin===
Tentacool is based on a {{wp|jellyfish}}, possibly a species of {{wp|box jellyfish}} like {{wp|Chironex fleckeri}} or {{wp|Carukia barnesi}}.

====Name origin====
Tentacool's name is a combination of ''{{wp|tentacle}}'' and the adjective ''cool''. Its Japanese name may be a combination of 目の敵 ''menokataki'', enemy, and 水母 ''kurage'', {{wp|jellyfish}}, or alternatively, it may be a pun on the Japanese expression 目の毒 ''menodoku'', "poison to the eye" (referring to a tempting thing but one that must not be looked at), considering that its evolution's name is ドククラゲ ''dokukurage''.

'''Tentacool''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メノクラゲ''' ''Menokurage'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Tentacruel}} starting at [[level]] 30.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Tentacool resembles a box jellyfish. It has a light blue, {{a|clear body}} with two large, transparent, crystal-like red eyes on each side of its body, and one small one in the middle. It has two tentacles laced with stinging cells. The tentacles extend from beneath its round, blue lower body, which has a cape-like formation in the back.

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

====Special abilities====
Tentacool absorbs sunlight and refracts it using water inside its body to convert it into beam energy, as seen in the episode ''[[EP019|Tentacool and Tentacruel]]''. It can also {{a|Liquid Ooze|ooze poison}} if threatened. Its evolution is able to control Pokémon it touches with its tentacles, but it is unknown if Tentacool have this ability.

===Behavior===

This Pokémon shoots beams from its crystal-like eyes, and are often found floating in shallow waters.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Sea.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon}}]]

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Tentacool was originally known as "Jilly".
* Tentacool and {{p|Tentacruel}} are the only non-genderless Pokémon that can have the ability {{a|Clear Body}}.
* Tentacool was the first [[Generation IV hybrid]] [[glitch Pokémon]] discovered.
* Prior to [[Generation V]], Tentacool is one of the few Pokémon to be present in every Generation's regional Pokédex. Other Pokémon that are also present include: {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Raichu}}, {{p|Zubat}}, {{p|Golbat}}, {{p|Tentacruel}}, {{p|Magikarp}}, and {{p|Gyarados}}.

===Origin===
Tentacool is based on a {{wp|jellyfish}}, possibly a species of {{wp|box jellyfish}} like {{wp|Chironex fleckeri}} or {{wp|Carukia barnesi}}.

====Name origin====
Tentacool's name is a combination of ''{{wp|tentacle}}'' and the adjective ''cool''. Its Japanese name may be a combination of 目の敵 ''menokataki'', enemy, and 水母 ''kurage'', {{wp|jellyfish}}, or alternatively, it may be a pun on the Japanese expression 目の毒 ''menodoku'', "poison to the eye" (referring to a tempting thing but one that must not be looked at), considering that its evolution's name is ドククラゲ ''dokukurage''.

'''Geodude''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イシツブテ''' ''Isitsubute'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Ground}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Graveler}} starting at [[level]] 25, who evolves into {{p|Golem}} via [[trade]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Geodude is a gray boulder with bulging rocky eyebrows, trapezoidal eyes with brown irises, and muscular five-fingered arms. It has the ability to levitate, although is not {{a|Levitate|unaffected from attacks from the ground}}.
====Gender differences====
None

====Special abilities====
It has a {{a|Rock Head|hard head}} and a {{a|Sturdy|sturdy body}}. {{m|Rock Throw|Throwing rocks}} is a common type of offense by Geodude. As Geodude is also a Ground-type, it can use moves like {{m|Earthquake}}. Geodude also possesses the ability to {{m|Explosion|explode}}.

===Behavior===
Geodude usually sit still on mountain paths or in [[cave]]s, which is why they are often mistaken for rocks. Geodude uses its arms to steadily climb steep mountain paths, hoisting itself over. Geodude also uses its arms to swing its fists around when angered, such as when it is carelessly stepped upon. Geodude are proud of their sturdy bodies and bash against each other in a contest of sorts to prove whose body is harder. When Geodude sleeps deeply, it buries itself halfway into the ground, and will not awaken even if it is stepped upon. In the morning Geodude rolls downhill in search of food.

===Habitat===
[[File:Mountain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon}}]]
Geodude can be most often found on mountain trails, fields, under rocks, or in caves. They are a common sight in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]].

==Trivia==
* Geodude is one of five Generation I Pokémon that had its base experience yield changed in [[Generation III]]. Its former base experience was 86. The others are {{p|Abra}}, {{p|Machop}}, {{p|Omanyte}}, and {{p|Kabuto}}.
* Geodude, along with its evolutions, have been in all Japan-centric [[List of Pokémon that appear in every regional Pokédex| regional Pokédexes]].
* Geodude has been used by all of the Gym Leaders specializing in the {{type2|Rock}}. However, [[Brock]] does not use Geodude in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] as he did in [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]], though he does use its evolved form, {{p|Graveler}}, and in the [[Fighting Dojo]], it evolves into a {{p|Golem}}.
* Geodude are sometimes shown as being able to float as there is a circular shadow underneath them starting in [[Generation III]] and onwards. It was also shown floating in the [[Pokémon Stadium series|Stadium]] games and in the [[Pikachu Short]], ''[[PK07|Pikachu & Pichu]].'' Despite all of these factors it cannot have the {{a|Levitate}} ability or learn {{m|Magnet Rise}}.
* In one episode of ''{{wp|Fillmore!}}'', a cheerleading coach instructs her team to build a human pyramid "as strong as a Geodude using its {{m|Harden}} attack". However, Geodude and its evolutions became unable to learn Harden after [[Generation II]].

===Origin===
Geodude may be based on the "pet rock". However, Geodude may be intended to be nothing more than a living boulder.

====Name origin====
Geodude's name may be a combination of the prefix ''geo'', earth, and ''dude'', a slang word for a male. It may also be from {{wp|geode}}, a usually hollow volcanic rock with crystal inside, and dude. ''Isitsubute'' is a combination of 石 ''ishi'', stone, and 礫 ''tsubute'', throwing stones, literally "a stone throwing stones".

'''Geodude''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イシツブテ''' ''Isitsubute'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Ground}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Graveler}} starting at [[level]] 25, who evolves into {{p|Golem}} via [[trade]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Geodude is a gray boulder with bulging rocky eyebrows, trapezoidal eyes with brown irises, and muscular five-fingered arms. It has the ability to levitate, although is not {{a|Levitate|unaffected from attacks from the ground}}.
====Gender differences====
100% male

====Special abilities====
It has a {{a|Rock Head|hard head}} and a {{a|Sturdy|sturdy body}}. {{m|Rock Throw|Throwing rocks}} is a common type of offense by Geodude. As Geodude is also a Ground-type, it can use moves like {{m|Earthquake}}. Geodude also possesses the ability to {{m|Explosion|explode}}.

===Behavior===
Geodude usually sit still on mountain paths or in [[cave]]s, which is why they are often mistaken for rocks. Geodude uses its arms to steadily climb steep mountain paths, hoisting itself over. Geodude also uses its arms to swing its fists around when angered, such as when it is carelessly stepped upon. Geodude are proud of their sturdy bodies and bash against each other in a contest of sorts to prove whose body is harder. When Geodude sleeps deeply, it buries itself halfway into the ground, and will not awaken even if it is stepped upon. In the morning Geodude rolls downhill in search of food.

===Habitat===
[[File:Mountain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon}}]]
Geodude can be most often found on mountain trails, fields, under rocks, or in caves. They are a common sight in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]].

==Trivia==
* Geodude is one of five Generation I Pokémon that had its base experience yield changed in [[Generation III]]. Its former base experience was 86. The others are {{p|Abra}}, {{p|Machop}}, {{p|Omanyte}}, and {{p|Kabuto}}.
* Geodude, along with its evolutions, have been in all Japan-centric [[List of Pokémon that appear in every regional Pokédex| regional Pokédexes]].
* Geodude has been used by all of the Gym Leaders specializing in the {{type2|Rock}}. However, [[Brock]] does not use Geodude in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] as he did in [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]], though he does use its evolved form, {{p|Graveler}}, and in the [[Fighting Dojo]], it evolves into a {{p|Golem}}.
* Geodude are sometimes shown as being able to float as there is a circular shadow underneath them starting in [[Generation III]] and onwards. It was also shown floating in the [[Pokémon Stadium series|Stadium]] games and in the [[Pikachu Short]], ''[[PK07|Pikachu & Pichu]].'' Despite all of these factors it cannot have the {{a|Levitate}} ability or learn {{m|Magnet Rise}}.
* In one episode of ''{{wp|Fillmore!}}'', a cheerleading coach instructs her team to build a human pyramid "as strong as a Geodude using its {{m|Harden}} attack". However, Geodude and its evolutions became unable to learn Harden after [[Generation II]].

===Origin===
Geodude may be based on the "pet rock". However, Geodude may be intended to be nothing more than a living boulder.

====Name origin====
Geodude's name may be a combination of the prefix ''geo'', earth, and ''dude'', a slang word for a male. It may also be from {{wp|geode}}, a usually hollow volcanic rock with crystal inside, and dude. ''Isitsubute'' is a combination of 石 ''ishi'', stone, and 礫 ''tsubute'', throwing stones, literally "a stone throwing stones".
