'''Entei''' (Japanese: '''エンテイ''' ''Entei'') is a {{type|Fire}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation II]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, the [[Paradox Pokémon]] {{p|Gouging Fire}} is said to be either an ancient relative of Entei or a version of it from a parallel timeline.

Along with {{p|Raikou}} and {{p|Suicune}}, Entei is one of the [[legendary beasts]] resurrected by {{p|Ho-Oh}} after the burning of the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]], said to represent the flames that incinerated it.

==Biology==
Entei is a massive, {{wp|lion|leonine}}, quadrupedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with some {{wp|mastiff}} qualities. It is covered in brown fur and a long, light gray cloud of smoke running along its entire back. It has gray plates on either side of the cloud and a plate beneath the cream belly fur on its chest. Entei has gray paws with brown pads and black cuff-like bands on its legs. Both front paws house three small, white retractable claws, which can be seen in battle or in [[Pokémon Camp]]. Its main faceplate is red and shaped like fins or a six-sided star. A gray plate, resembling a horseshoe mustache, covers its muzzle. It also has a yellow crest with three sloped points on its forehead and red eyes.

150 years ago, [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]] in [[Johto]] was hit by a lightning bolt, causing it to catch on a huge fire and would be later put out by a sudden downpout. [[List of disputed and unidentified Pokémon|Three unnamed Pokémon]] perished in the fire, however, the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Ho-Oh}} granted the trio new life, one of those Pokémon was revived as Entei, which represents the fire that destroyed the now Burned Tower.

It is said that an Entei is born whenever a new volcano appears, and that whenever Entei roars, a volcano erupts somewhere in the world. Entei races across {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}} at high speeds. It does this due to being unable to contain its extreme power. Entei is believed to represent the passion of magma, and is claimed to be the bringer of the summer's warmth. Entei can unleash massive bursts of fire capable of destroying anything it touches. Its fire is said to be hotter than the magma of a volcano. Entei loves [[Entei Treat]]s made by [[Snacksworth]], who once ran into and chased it in the past. {{p|Gouging Fire}} shares a resemblance to Entei. It is theorized to be an ancient Entei regenerated from a [[fossil]].

As mentioned in the [[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]], Entei is known to sometimes leak flames from its mouth.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex entry]]: "This Pokémon embodies the passion of magma. Flames apparently leak a little from Entei's mouth sometimes, even while it sleeps. After it has rested, it sweeps once more across the land, spewing waves of fire like an erupting volcano."</ref> It also leaks flames while it sleeps as well. After taking a good rest, Entei will sweep across the land, expelling waves of fire similar to an erupting volcano. Entei is known to enjoy eating Entei Biscuits. Entei can be lured over to a sleeping spot using the Entei Incense. Entei has three different sleep styles it sleeps in, they are called ''Energy-Storing Sleep'', ''Meditative Sleep'', and ''Volcano Sleep''.

==== In the spin-off games ====
* {{vg|Pokémon Ranger}}: [[Gordor]] considers Entei to be the best and most loyal of the Legendary trio. The player captures it when it is first unleashed in the [[Jungle Relic]], but it is still taken by the [[Go-Rock Squad]], using their new [[Super Styler]]. Entei later acts as the final boss of the game.
* {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}: {{mdc|Legendary beasts|smd|Entei}} encounters the {{player}} and their {{mdc|Partner Pokémon||partner}} along with {{mdc|Archen|smd}} soon after {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}} are turned to stone. He later battles them on [[Fire Island Volcano]], with the player and partner evolving mid-battle thanks to their [[Harmony Scarf|Harmony Scarves]]. Entei is later turned to stone and helps free the player and partner from the [[Voidlands]]. He goes by the title "Entei the Volcanic".

====Melee trophy information====
''A volcanic Fire-type, Entei is hotter than liquid magma and as tough as nails. This powerful creature was one of the three Pokémon running around the Burned Tower of Ecruteak City. Entei is extremely difficult to capture, as it tends to wander all over the landscape, sprouting intense flames from its body.''

====Brawl trophy information====
''"A Volcano Pokémon. When Entei barks, a volcano erupts, and it's said that a new Entei is born every time a volcano appears. A proverb claims that the warmth of summer is created by Entei racing through the clouds. Entei uses {{m|Fire Spin}}, a flaming vortex that traps and damages foes for multiple turns."''

====3DS/Wii U trophy information====
'''NA:''' ''One of the three Legendary Pokémon that rose from the ashes of the Burned Tower. It has a distinct white mane running down its back. When brought into battle, it unleashes a powerful Fire Spin attack that pulls in enemies, damages them, and then launches them as the fires peter out. Ouch!''

'''PAL:''' ''One of the three Legendary Pokémon to rise from the ashes of the Burned Tower. It has a distinctive white mane running along its back.

** The same is true when switching to {{p|Espeon}}, when the Pokédex is sorted alphabetically.
* An [[Pokémon Gold and Silver beta#Events|unused event]] present in the data of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} (but removed from {{v2|Crystal}}) allows for the player to obtain a level 40 Entei.

* Entei's numbers in the [[National Pokédex]] and the [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto Pokédex]] are identical: 0244 and 244, respectively.

===Concept and development===
Entei, along with {{p|Raikou}} and {{p|Suicune}}, was designed by [[Muneo Saitō]].<ref>Yoshida, Yuuya (May 1, 2014). [https://kai-you.net/article/5034 伝説ポケモンのイラストを手がける斉藤むねお、キャラデザ講座開講！] Kai-You.</ref><ref>(January 3, 2012). Ken Sugimori ([https://twitter.com/SUPER_32X @SUPER_32X]) [https://twitter.com/SUPER_32X/status/154156622212640768 on Twitter]. ([https://archive.vn/WfQab archive])</ref>

In the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo]], Entei is seen with a design resembling a canine. In the final game, Entei has a bright orange palette and is seen without the bangs of fur that usually drape down the front of its design. This was changed in {{game|Crystal}}, which more accurately depicts Entei's final design.

When asked if Entei was based on a particular animal, Muneo Saitō described the creation process behind the Pokémon as "a hairy, rock-like body, volcanic smoke rising from behind its head, a king with a dignified beard... Entei's design was coming together... You could say it was basically like a lion... But I didn't want it to be simply an animal, so I settled on a silhouette that could look like a dog or a cat (or neither)." <ref name="Saitō">(January 3, 2012). Muneo Saitō ([https://twitter.com/muneondo @muneondo]) [https://twitter.com/muneondo/status/154175027464507392 on Twitter]. ([https://archive.vn/fktq1 archive])</ref>

</gallery>

===Origin===
Entei has characteristics of {{wp|lion}}s and other animals, such as dogs and cats. It also has some {{wp|king|regal}} elements.<ref name="Saitō"/> Entei also visually resembles an erupting volcano: its red faceplate and yellow crown resemble lava, its neck shape and brown coloration are reminiscent of the rocky base of a volcano, and it has a cloud of flowing smoke. Entei and its {{t|Fire}} typing represent the fire that burned [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]] according to its legend; while {{p|Raikou}} represents the lightning that struck it, and {{p|Suicune}} represents the rain that put it out.

Entei may be inspired by some depictions of guardian lions in East Asia, such as the ''{{wp|komainu}}'', ''{{wp|shisa|shīsā}}'', or {{wp|Chinese guardian lions|''shíshī''}}. Its appearance and masses of fur are also similar to the {{wp|Barong (mythology)|Barong}}, a Balinese guardian lion spirit. Additionally, Entei also resembles certain breeds of large dogs, such as a {{wp|English Mastiff|mastiff}} or a {{wp|St. Bernard (dog breed)|St. Bernard}}.

====Name origin====
Entei may be derived from 炎 ''en'' (flame) and 帝 ''tei'' (emperor), forming a reference to 炎帝 ''Yándì'' ({{wp|Yan Emperor|Flame Emperor}}, legendary ancient Chinese ruler in pre-dynastic times). It may also involve 炎天 ''enten'' (blazing heat).

'''Raikou''' (Japanese: '''ライコウ''' ''Raikou'') is an {{type|Electric}} {{pkmn2|Legendary}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, the [[Paradox Pokémon]] {{p|Raging Bolt}} is said to be either an ancient relative of Raikou or a version of it from a parallel timeline.

Along with {{p|Entei}} and {{p|Suicune}}, Raikou is one of the [[legendary beasts]] resurrected by {{p|Ho-Oh}} after the burning of the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]], said to represent the lightning strike which ignited the fire.

==Biology==
Raikou is a quadrupedal, yellow, {{wp|tiger}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with black stripes and a white underside. It has a thin, light blue tail with sharp angles and a spark-shaped formation at the end. Most of its face consists of thick, white fur and shorter yellow fur around its red eyes. Raikou's muzzle is a light blue "X" and it has a black faceplate with two bumps that cover its forehead, nose, and ears. Raikou has two long fangs that make its appearance similar to the {{wp|saber-toothed cat}}. Its large claws each converge to form a single point and never retract. Extra fur hangs off its body in front of its thighs. Raikou has a mane across its back that resembles dull purple rain clouds and allows it to shoot bolts of lightning.

150 years ago, [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]] in [[Johto]] was hit by a lightning bolt, causing it to catch on a huge fire and would be later put out by a sudden downpout. [[List of disputed and unidentified Pokémon|Three unnamed Pokémon]] perished in the fire, however, the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Ho-Oh}} granted the trio new life, one of those Pokémon was revived as Raikou, which represents the lightning that struck the now Burned Tower.

A proverb claims that Raikou descended from the sky with a lightning bolt. Raikou is able to fly by creating storm clouds, as depicted in the [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs (animated special)]]. In ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', Raikou is shown to be distrustful of humans, though it may form some friendship with those who help it. Raikou tends to appear during thunderstorms and when other Electric-type Pokémon are in danger. Raikou is said to represent the speed of lightning and can control storm clouds at will. Raikou races across {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}} while barking cries that sound like thunder. Raikou's cries can also send shock waves in the air while shaking the ground at the same time. Raikou loves [[Raikou Treat]]s made by [[Snacksworth]], who once encountered and raced up a mountain with it in the past. {{p|Raging Bolt}} bears a resemblance to Raikou. According to Occulture, Raging Bolt is believed to be an ancestor of Raikou.

As mentioned in the [[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]], while Raikou is sleeping, its breath makes a rumbling sound similar to distant thunder.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex entry]]: "This Pokémon embodies the speed of lightning. It's said that when Raikou sleeps deeply, you can hear a rumbling like distant thunder in its breath. When it wakes, it sweeps once more across the land, roaring like crashing thunder."</ref> The moment Raikou awakens, it will quickly travel the lands, with a roar sounding similar to a crashing thunder. Raikou is known to enjoy eating Raikou Biscuits. Raikou can be lured over to a sleeping spot using the Raikou Incense. Raikou has three different sleep styles it sleeps in: ''Energy-Storing Sleep'', ''Meditative Sleep'', and ''Lightning Sleep''.

'''PAL:''' ''If you see a bolt of lightning flash across the ground instead of from the sky, you may have just caught a glimpse of Raikou.

It's said that this wild yet majestic Pokémon once perished in the Johto region, but Ho-Oh, filled with sorrow, resurrected it.''

==Trivia==
[[File:Raikou dex entry LoT.png|thumb|230px|Raikou in {{jo|Jimmy}}'s Pokédex]]
* Raikou is the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the {{pkmn|animated series}} whose image on the [[Pokédex]] was of stylized art rather than the standard art by the series character designer.
* Raikou's [[Effort values|effort value]] [[List of Pokémon by effort value yield|yield]] of 1 Special Attack and 2 Speed is unique.
* Raikou's numbers in the [[National Pokédex]] and the [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto Pokédex]] are identical: 0243 and 243, respectively.

===Concept and development===
In the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo|Nintendo Space World '97 demo]] of Pokémon Gold and Silver, Raikou is seen with a design resembling a canine. In the final game, Raikou is seen with an orange mane, more subdued faceplate, and lacking its blue "whiskers". This was changed in {{game|Crystal}}, which more accurately depicts Raikou's final design.

Raikou, along with {{p|Entei}} and {{p|Suicune}}, was designed by [[Muneo Saitō]].<ref>Yoshida, Yuuya (May 1, 2014). [https://kai-you.net/article/5034 伝説ポケモンのイラストを手がける斉藤むねお、キャラデザ講座開講！] Kai-You.</ref><ref>(January 3, 2012). Ken Sugimori ([https://twitter.com/SUPER_32X @SUPER_32X]) [https://twitter.com/SUPER_32X/status/154156622212640768 on Twitter]. ([https://archive.vn/WfQab archive])</ref>

When asked if the [[legendary beasts]] were based on any particular animals, Muneo Saitō explained that after {{p|Entei}}'s design came to be lion-like, he decided to incorporate leopard-like and tiger-like elements for Suicune and Raikou, respectively. Raikou's creation process was described as difficult, as "Raikou took many twists and turns; there was even a blue thunder version with a drum on its back".<ref name="Saitō">(January 3, 2012). Muneo Saitō ([https://twitter.com/muneondo @muneondo]) [https://twitter.com/muneondo/status/154176395826835456 on Twitter]. ([https://archive.vn/xccqr archive])</ref>

===Origin===
Raikou is partially based on a {{wp|tiger}}.<ref name="Saitō"/> Raikou's long upper fangs bear a resemblance to those of a {{wp|smilodon|saber-toothed tiger}}. Raikou and its {{t|Electric}} typing represent the lightning that struck the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]] according to its legend; while {{p|Entei}} represents the fire that burned it, and {{p|Suicune}} represents the rain that put it out.

One of the earlier designs for Raikou having a drum on its back may hint at it also being based on {{wp|Raijin}}— a Japanese god of lightning and thunder, depicted as carrying ''taiko'' drums to create the sound of thunder. Raijin is often given {{wp|oni}} features, a supernatural creature often associated with tiger pelts. It may have also been inspired by ''{{wp|raijū}}'', a lightning creature that can take the form of various animals and is said to be Raijin's companion.

The flowing purple cloud on Raikou's back seems to be based on a dark {{wp|nimbostratus cloud}} or {{wp|cumulonimbus cloud}}, the latter being associated with thunderstorms. This detail may also hint at Raikou being based on the ''{{wp|Nue}}'', a chimeric creature depicted with the limbs (and sometimes the body) of a tiger and accompanied by black clouds that it can shapeshift into.

====Name origin====
Raikou may be derived from 雷 ''rai'' (thunder) or 雷光 ''raikō'' (lightning) and 公 ''kō'' (lord/duke) or 皇 ''kō'' (emperor), where the former forms a reference to 雷公 ''{{wp|Leigong|Léigōng}}'' (Thunder Duke, god of thunder in Chinese mythology).

'''Luxray''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レントラー''' ''Rentorar'') is an {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Luxio}} starting at [[level]] 30. It is the final form of {{p|Shinx}}.

==Biology==
Luxray is a quadrupedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling a fully-grown lion. While its face, hind legs, torso, and the back of its front legs are blue, much of its body is covered with shaggy, black fur. The fur is longer around the shoulders and the base of the tail, and forms a mane on its head. The mane is larger on the male than on the female. It has yellow eyes with red sclerae, a blunt muzzle, and rounded ears with yellow insides. The eyes change to the color gold when using its ability. There are three yellow half-rings on the back of each foreleg. Its long, thin tail is tipped with a yellow four-pointed star.

Luxray has powerful eyesight that is capable of seeing through most objects, like X-ray vision. It uses this ability for hunting and keeping track of its offspring. However, this ability requires a lot of electricity to use. As a result, Luxray needs to sleep for long periods of time, sometimes into a deep sleep (as mentioned in [[Pokémon Sleep]]), in order to recover and store up more energy. Luxray live in packs, each having one male to lead them. As seen in [[Pokémon Concierge]], like its pre-Evolution {{p|Shinx}}, Luxray can make parts of its fur glow.

=====Other=====
Luxray made its animated series debut in ''[[DP059|Luxray Vision!]]'', under the ownership of {{OBP|Marble|DP059}}. Having recently evolved from Luxio, it was unable to use {{type|Electric}} moves and had a serious attitude problem for most of the episode.

In the original timeline of ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', a {{m|Hypnosis|hypnotized}} [[Damos]] commanded three Luxray to attack {{OBP|Arceus|M12}} with {{m|Shock Wave}}.

{{main|Luxray (TCG)}}

==Trivia==
* Luxray is the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a base stat total of 523.

===Origin===
Luxray resembles the {{wp|sphinx}}, which has a {{wp|lion|lion}}'s body and a humanoid head, and a full-grown male lion. The star on its tail maybe a reference to the neighboring constellation, {{wp|Leo (constellation)|Leo}}. It may also be based on a {{Wp|lynx}}, also seeming to take elements from the {{wp|Lynx (constellation)|constellation Lynx}}, as well as depictions of the {{wp|lynx (mythology)|lynx in mythology}}, which medieval bestiaries sometimes depicted as a lion-like creature and was said to possess supernatural eyesight.

====Name origin====
Luxray may be a combination of ''lux'' (Latin for light) and ''{{wp|X-ray}}'', referencing the mythological lynx's ability to see through solid objects.

Rentorar may be derived from レントゲン ''Röntgen'' (alternate name for the X-ray, named after its discoverer {{wp|Wilhelm Röntgen}}) and 虎 ''tora'' (tiger), perhaps referencing the name "Tigris" (Latin for tiger) that {{wp|Johannes Hevelius}} used for the constellation Lynx in his atlas.

'''Luxio''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ルクシオ''' ''Luxio'') is an {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Shinx}} starting at [[level]] 15 and evolves into {{p|Luxray}} starting at level 30.

==Biology==
Luxio is a feline, quadrupedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling a young lynx or lion. Blue and black fur cover most of its body. Its ears, face, hind paws, and front half of its body are blue, while its hindquarters are black. Additionally, Luxio has a tufty black mane surrounding its face. The mane is longer on the male Luxio, while the blue coloration on the hind paws extends to the ankles on the female. The insides of its rounded ears are yellow, as are its eyes. There are two yellow rings around each front leg and a yellow, four-point star on the tip of its tail.

When facing an opponent, Luxio extends its claws in preparation, which can unleash 1,000,000 volts of electricity. Even a slight scratch from these claws is enough to cause fainting. Besides for attacking, Luxio also uses its claws to communicate with others of its kind, by resting them on the others' forelegs and sending electrical pulses through them. Luxio live in small groups and are able to generate powerful electricity by gathering the group's tails together. Luxio are known to be kind enough to share the spoils from a hunt to its own kind.

As mentioned in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Luxio is often observed sleeping peacefully. It is believed that Luxio feel a sense of safety due living in small groups. On occasion, Luxio releases electricty from its claws while it slumbers. Researchers uses the rhythm released by the electric pulses to study Luxio's dreams.

===Evolution===
Luxio evolves from {{p|Shinx}} and evolves into {{p|Luxray}}.

==Trivia==
* Luxio is the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a base stat total of 363.
* The official Japanese Pokémon website (Pokemon.co.jp) has a picture of Luxio on its {{wp|HTTP 404}} error page.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/404 Pokemon.co.jp sample 404 error page]</ref> This alludes to Luxio's [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex number]], 0404.

===Origin===
Luxio resembles the {{wp|sphinx}}, which has a {{wp|lion|lion}}'s body and a humanoid head, and an adolescent male lion. The star on the end of its tail maybe a reference to the constellations, {{wp|Leo (constellation)|Leo}} and/or {{wp|Leo Minor}}. It may also be based on a {{wp|lynx}}, also seeming to take elements from the {{wp|Lynx (constellation)|constellation Lynx}}, as well as depictions of the {{wp|lynx (mythology)|lynx in mythology}}, which medieval bestiaries sometimes depicted as a lion-like creature.

====Name origin====
Luxio may be a combination of ''{{wp|lux}}'' (Latin for light) and ''leo'' (Latin for lion).

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Luxio}} starting at [[level]] 15, which evolves into {{p|Luxray}} starting at level 30.

==Biology==
[[File:Pokémon Concierge Shinx glowing.png|thumb|left|250px|Shinx's fur glowing]]
Shinx is a quadrupedal, feline {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling a {{wp|lion}} cub or {{wp|lynx}} kitten. Its front half is light blue, while the rear is black. There is a short tuft of fur on its head and smaller tufts on each cheek. The top tuft is smaller on the female Shinx. It has large, oval ears with yellow, star-shaped markings on the insides; yellow eyes; and a tiny, red nose. Whenever its mouth is open, small fangs can be seen in its upper jaw. A black marking encircles Shinx's neck like a collar, and there are yellow bands above its forepaws. The hind paws are black on the male Shinx and blue on the female. Spiked fur surrounds the base of its long tail, which is tipped with a yellow star shape.

Electricity is produced by the extension and contraction of muscles in Shinx's forelegs, which causes this Pokémon's fur to glow. If it senses danger, its fur can gleam brightly to blind predators so it can flee. Excited trembling is a sign that Shinx is generating tremendous amounts of electricity. It can send signals to other Shinx by shining the tip of its tail and shaking it. It has an aggressive nature; thus, taming a Shinx is said to take great patience. As mentioned in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Shinx can create electricity when it rolls around while asleep. On rare occasions, a sleeping Shinx releases discharge sparks.

===Evolution===
Shinx evolves into {{p|Luxio}}, which evolves into {{p|Luxray}}.

===Origin===

It may also be based on a {{Wp|lynx}}, also seeming to take elements from the {{wp|Lynx (constellation)|constellation Lynx}}, as well as depictions of the {{wp|lynx (mythology)|lynx in mythology}}, which medieval bestiaries sometimes depicted as a lion-like creature.

====Name origin====
Shinx may be a combination of ''shining'', ''shock'', ''sphinx'', or ''lynx''.

Kolink may be a combination of 子 ''ko'' (child) and リンクス ''lynx''.

'''Luxio''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ルクシオ''' ''Luxio'') is an {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Shinx}} starting at [[level]] 15 and evolves into {{p|Luxray}} starting at level 30.

==Biology==
Luxio is a feline, quadrupedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling a young lynx or lion. Blue and black fur cover most of its body. Its ears, face, hind paws, and front half of its body are blue, while its hindquarters are black. Additionally, Luxio has a tufty black mane surrounding its face. The mane is longer on the male Luxio, while the blue coloration on the hind paws extends to the ankles on the female. The insides of its rounded ears are yellow, as are its eyes. There are two yellow rings around each front leg and a yellow, four-point star on the tip of its tail.

When facing an opponent, Luxio extends its claws in preparation, which can unleash 1,000,000 volts of electricity. Even a slight scratch from these claws is enough to cause fainting. Besides for attacking, Luxio also uses its claws to communicate with others of its kind, by resting them on the others' forelegs and sending electrical pulses through them. Luxio live in small groups and are able to generate powerful electricity by gathering the group's tails together. Luxio are known to be kind enough to share the spoils from a hunt to its own kind.

As mentioned in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Luxio is often observed sleeping peacefully. It is believed that Luxio feel a sense of safety due living in small groups. On occasion, Luxio releases electricty from its claws while it slumbers. Researchers uses the rhythm released by the electric pulses to study Luxio's dreams.

===Evolution===
Luxio evolves from {{p|Shinx}} and evolves into {{p|Luxray}}.

==In animation==
[[File:Luxio anime.png|thumb|250px|Luxio in {{aniseries|HZ}}]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Clemont's Luxio]]====
In ''[[XY048|A Campus Reunion!]]'', {{an|Clemont}} {{pkmn2|caught}} a Luxio, which, prior to the episode, evolved from a Shinx that he befriended. In ''[[XY062|The Future Is Now, Thanks to Determination!]]'', Luxio evolved into a Luxray.

====Other====
Luxio debuted in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', where it was among the Pokémon residing in a garden in [[Alamos Town]]. Luxio seemed to be shy, as it hesitated before it ran to {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}' Pokémon. It later participated in a near-skirmish between two groups of Pokémon, caused by a misunderstanding. Afterwards, it was a bystander during the battle between {{mov|Dialga}} and {{mov|Palkia}}.

Luxio made its animated series debut in ''[[DP109|Leading a Stray!]]'', where it helped a {{p|Wailmer}} that was trapped in the sewers. As a result, the Wailmer made it back into the ocean safely and evolved into a {{p|Wailord}} before rejoining its pod.

===Minor appearances===
A Luxio appeared in the opening sequence of ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''.

A Luxio appeared in ''[[DP149|Sticking With Who You Know!]]''.

In ''[[DP160|A Marathon Rivalry!]]'', a Trainer's Luxio competed in the [[Pokéathlon]] held in [[Camellia Town]].

A Trainer's Luxio appeared in ''[[M23|Secrets of the Jungle]]''.

A Luxio appeared in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]'', under the ownership of a student of [[Indigo Academy]].

==Trivia==
* Luxio is the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a base stat total of 363.
* The official Japanese Pokémon website (Pokemon.co.jp) has a picture of Luxio on its {{wp|HTTP 404}} error page.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/404 Pokemon.co.jp sample 404 error page]</ref> This alludes to Luxio's [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex number]], 0404.

===Origin===
Luxio resembles the sphinx, which has a {{wp|lion|lion}}'s body and a humanoid head, and an adolescent male lion. The star on the end of its tail maybe a reference to the constellations, {{wp|Leo (constellation)|Leo}} and/or {{wp|Leo Minor}}. It may also be based on a {{wp|lynx}}, also seeming to take elements from the {{wp|Lynx (constellation)|constellation Lynx}}, as well as depictions of the {{wp|lynx (mythology)|lynx in mythology}}, which medieval bestiaries sometimes depicted as a lion-like creature.

====Name origin====
Luxio may be a combination of ''{{wp|lux}}'' (Latin for light) and ''leo'' (Latin for lion).

'''Shinx''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''コリンク''' ''Kolink'') is an {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Luxio}} starting at [[level]] 15, which evolves into {{p|Luxray}} starting at level 30.

==Biology==
[[File:Pokémon Concierge Shinx glowing.png|thumb|left|250px|Shinx's fur glowing]]
Shinx is a quadrupedal, feline {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling a {{wp|lion}} cub or {{wp|lynx}} kitten. Its front half is light blue, while the rear is black. There is a short tuft of fur on its head and smaller tufts on each cheek. The top tuft is smaller on the female Shinx. It has large, oval ears with yellow, star-shaped markings on the insides; yellow eyes; and a tiny, red nose. Whenever its mouth is open, small fangs can be seen in its upper jaw. A black marking encircles Shinx's neck like a collar, and there are yellow bands above its forepaws. The hind paws are black on the male Shinx and blue on the female. Spiked fur surrounds the base of its long tail, which is tipped with a yellow star shape.

Electricity is produced by the extension and contraction of muscles in Shinx's forelegs, which causes this Pokémon's fur to glow. If it senses danger, its fur can gleam brightly to blind predators so it can flee. Excited trembling is a sign that Shinx is generating tremendous amounts of electricity. It can send signals to other Shinx by shining the tip of its tail and shaking it. It has an aggressive nature; thus, taming a Shinx is said to take great patience. As mentioned in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Shinx can create electricity when it rolls around while asleep. On rare occasions, a sleeping Shinx releases discharge sparks.

===Evolution===
Shinx evolves into {{p|Luxio}}, which evolves into {{p|Luxray}}.

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

===Origin===
Shinx resembles the sphinx, which has a {{wp|lion|lion}}'s body and a humanoid head, and a lion cub. The star on the end of its tail maybe a reference to the constellation, {{wp|Leo Minor}}. It may also be based on a {{Wp|lynx}}, also seeming to take elements from the {{wp|Lynx (constellation)|constellation Lynx}}, as well as depictions of the {{wp|lynx (mythology)|lynx in mythology}}, which medieval bestiaries sometimes depicted as a lion-like creature.

====Name origin====
Shinx may be a combination of ''shining'', ''shock'', ''sphinx'', or ''lynx''.

Kolink may be a combination of 子 ''ko'' (child) and リンクス ''lynx''.

'''Electabuzz''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エレブー''' ''Eleboo'') is an {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Elekid}} starting at [[level]] 30 and evolves into {{p|Electivire}} when {{DL|Trade|Pokémon that evolve when traded|traded}} while holding an [[Electirizer]].

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

==Biology==
Electabuzz is a slightly {{wp|humanoid}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a few {{wp|feline}} traits. It has antennae with bulbous tips where its ears should be, two long tufts of fur on top of its head, small eyes, and two large fangs in its upper jaw. It is covered in yellow fur with many black stripes. There is a large, lightning bolt-shaped stripe on Electabuzz's chest, a V-shaped stripe on its forehead, one stripe on its side, a thick stripe down its back, two bands on each leg, several broken bands on each arm, and many rings around its long tail. There are three clawed toes on each of its feet, two in front and one in back, and five fingers on each hand.

In the dark, Electabuzz will glow light blue from the electrical charges running across its body. It is constantly leaking more electricity than it consumes. Being near an Electabuzz will cause a human's hair to stand on end. Electabuzz often gathered groups around tall trees to wait for the upcoming storm. During torrential thunderstorms, Electabuzz will compete to find locations likely to be struck by lightning to absorb the electric power. Electabuzz is often used as an alternative to lightning rods because it is unharmed by the absorption of electricity. It is also capable of entirely nonverbal communication via electrical currents when near another of its species. Blackouts have been known to happen when groups of Electabuzz gather to consume electricity from power plants, they often get blamed for the occurring power outages. As a result, {{type|Ground}} Pokémon are kept around power plants to keep Electabuzz from raiding, although the blackouts are usually the fault of the electric companies, not Electabuzz. There is ongoing research on using Electabuzz to store away lightning until it is needed to be used later.

As demonstrated in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'', Electabuzz is sent into a rage by the color red. In battle, Electabuzz windmills its arms, apparently to add momentum to its punches. This method of battle seems ineffective, as opponents can escape in the meantime. Electabuzz typically resides near power plants and can cause blackouts in cities, though it can also be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}.

===Evolution===
Electabuzz evolves from {{p|Elekid}} and evolves into {{p|Electivire}}.

==Trivia==
* In English, the {{pkmn|category}} "Electric Pokémon" is shared by {{p|Elekid}}, Electabuzz, and Kantonian {{p|Zapdos}}.
** In Japanese, Elekid has the category でんきポケモン ''Denki Pokémon'' (Electric Pokémon), while the other two Pokémon share the category でんげきポケモン ''Dengeki Pokémon'' (Electric Shock Pokémon).
* {{p|Magmar}} and Electabuzz seem to be counterparts; both evolve in a very similar way (first at level 30, then after being traded holding an item which has a name that ends with the suffix "-izer"), both have the same gender ratio (75% male, 25% female), and both are often [[Version-exclusive Pokémon|exclusive]] to one version of a pair of games (Electabuzz is exclusive to [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed]], {{B2W2|White 2}}, and [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond]], while Magmar is exclusive to [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Blue]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|LeafGreen]], {{B2W2|Black 2}}, and [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Shining Pearl]]). They both have similar status-inducing Abilities in Flame Body and Static, as well as the same Hidden Ability, Vital Spirit. Since Generation V, they also often learn similar moves at the same level. They even have the same special moves when purified in Pokémon XD: {{m|Follow Me}} and {{m|Cross Chop}}. Their evolutionary relatives were released in the same generation (Generation II and IV). Both also appear to be based on beings from Japanese mythology; Electabuzz has similarities to the {{wp|oni}} and Magmar has similarities to the {{wp|Karura}}.
** Electabuzz and Magmar are the only version-exclusive pair from Pokémon Red and Blue to not be version-exclusive in {{LGPE}}.
* Electabuzz is the only member of its family not to have some physical relation to an {{wp|AC power plugs and sockets|AC power unit}}. Elekid's head is shaped like a power plug while Electivire's back pattern looks like a power socket.

===Design variations===
{{main|Pokémon controversies#Four-fingered hands|Pokémon controversies → Four-fingered hands}}
In its {{game|Red and Blue|s}} artwork, Electabuzz has four fingers; however, it is typically depicted with five fingers in its sprites and artwork, as well as in the {{pkmn|animated series}}. In its {{g|Stadium}} model, which was reused for several subsequent [[side series]] titles, namely {{g|Colosseum}}, {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, and {{g|Battle Revolution}}, it is depicted with six fingers.

===Origin===
Electabuzz seems to be based on the Japanese ''{{wp|oni}}'', a horned hairy {{wp|ogre}} that wears {{wp|tiger}} skin as clothing and sometimes has powers of thunder and lightning. Most notably, {{wp|Raijin}}, who is often depicted as an oni, is a god of lightning. Its tail resembles that of a tiger. Its horns may be based on {{wp|Tesla coil}}s.

====Name origin====
Electabuzz may be a combination of ''electric'' and ''buzz'' (possibly referring to the humming sound of electricity).

Eleboo may be a combination of ''electric'' or エレキ ''eleki'' (electric) and ブンブン ''bunbun'' (buzz).

'''Pombon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ポムケン''' ''Pomken'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation X]].

Along with {{p|Browt}} and {{p|Gecqua}}, Pombon is one of the three [[first partner Pokémon]] available at the beginning of [[Pokémon Winds and Waves]]. They were also the first Generation X Pokémon to be revealed to the public on February 27, 2026, through a [[Pokémon Presents]] video presentation.

==Biology==
Pombon is a short canine Pokémon with a large head, short limbs, and a curly tail. Its body is covered mostly in fluffy orange fur, though the front of its upper muzzle is light yellow, and the tip of the tuft of fur on its head and a oval patch of fur on its chest, right below its throat, are red. It also has black oval-shaped eyes, and a red nose and paw pads, which resemble the {{wp|kanji}} symbol for fire (火).

Inside Pombon's lungs is an organ that generates heat, which causes the red area on its chest to glow slightly.<ref name="WWsite" /> Pombon is described to have an innocent, friendly temperament.<ref name=WWsite>[https://windswaves.pokemon.com/en-us/ Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves | Announcement Trailer] — Pokemon.com</ref>

==Trivia==
* Pombon shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Growlithe}}, {{p|Lillipup}}, {{p|Rockruff}}, {{p|Yamper}}, and {{p|Fidough}}. They are all known as the Puppy Pokémon.

===Origin===
Pombon may be based on the {{wp|Pomeranian dog}} breed.

====Name origin====
Pombon may be a combination of ''Pom'' ({{wp|Clipping (morphology)|clipping}} of Pomeranian), ''bonfire'', and possibly a play of ''{{wp|Pom-pom|pompon}}'' (decorative ball or tuft of fibrous material).

Pomken may be a combination of ''Pom'' (clipping of Pomeranian), 焔 ''homura'' (flame), and 犬 ''ken'' (dog).

'''Drampa''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ジジーロン''' ''Jijilong'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VII]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Drampa can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Drampa''' using the [[Drampanite]]. Mega Drampa was introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].

==Biology==
[[File:Drampa SM concept art.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Concept art of Drampa for {{g|Sun and Moon}}]]
Drampa is a serpentine {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} similar to a {{wp|Chinese dragon}}. Most of its skin is bluish-green, but the lower half of its face and the underside of its neck is a pale green. There are three spots on each of its sides that are also light green. It has pink eyes with rounded, yellow eyebrows, short whiskers resembling a mustache, floppy ears, and a small, white beard with a circular extension. On top of its head is a mop of white hair split into four rounded sections: two draped down either side of its head. Fluffy white fur drapes the lower half of its body and conceals its arms when they are tucked against its chest. When its arms are spread, two short claws are revealed on each hand. It has a bushy white tail with a small, curved spike at the base.

This draconic Pokémon lives alone in the mountains 10,000 feet above sea level. The {{Berries}} it feeds on do not grow at this altitude, so it descends to the base of the mountains daily at dawn. Drampa is known to have a kind and compassionate personality. It loves communicating with people and Pokémon, and is especially gentle with children. It often appears in places where children gather, such as schools and parks. Mothers of the children never worry about Drampa playing with them, as Drampa is willing to protect children from any form of danger. Despite its gentle nature, it becomes enraged if a child it cares for is hurt, and can go as far as to burn the bully's house down if able.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20171021235955mp_/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/drampa/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Drampa]</ref>Drampa is known to stir up a gale of wind when angered, while flattening anything that gets in its way as Drampa rampages. During its rampage, Drampa's {{m|Dragon Breath}} attack is strong enough to demolish buildings. As seen in the {{aniseries|SM}} episode ''[[SM059|Tasting the Bitter with the Sweet!]]'' and [[New Pokémon Snap]], Drampa is capable of flying.

Prior to [[Generation VIII]], Drampa was the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Berserk}} as an [[Ability]].

===Forms===
Drampa can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Drampa.
[[File:Mega Drampa fur rising.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Mega Drampa's eyes glow, and its fur rises when it is enraged or attacking.]]
As Mega Drampa, Drampa regains its youthful vigor, holding its long neck high above its body. Its white fur turns dark grey and becomes spikier. It now holds its claws out of its front fur, these claws are light grey and there are three per hand. At the back of its fur-covered body are swirling, lighter grey curls. Mega Drampa's expression turns angry and its beard elongates, turning the same shade of dark grey as its fur. It additionally gains two additional mustaches shaped like inverted horseshoe mustaches. Mega Drampa's hair perks into four curled spikes. When its mouth is open, Mega Drampa has four visible fangs.

Mega Drampa's cells are reinvigorated, reactivating its youth. It can manipulate the atmosphere to summon storms. Mega Drampa is constantly floating off the ground.

==Trivia==
* Drampa can be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Turtonator}}:
** Both are dual-type Pokémon, with {{t|Dragon}} as the secondary type.
** Both have a base stat total of 485, with the same stat values but distributed differently (aside from {{stat|Speed}}, which has the same value for the two Pokémon).
** They are {{pkmn2|version-exclusive}}: Drampa is exclusive to {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Moon}}, and {{pkmn|Sword and Shield|Shield}}, while Turtonator is exclusive to {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun}}, and {{pkmn|Sword and Shield|Sword}}.
* Drampa and Mega Drampa were designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/804500572967555072 Tweet by ありがひとし/ArigaHitoshi (@ariga_megamix).] Posted on December 2, 2016.</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/2016357810372804793 Tweet by ありがひとし/ArigaHitoshi (@ariga_megamix).] Posted on January 28, 2026.</ref>
* Mega Drampa has the highest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of all {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.
* Prior to the [[Mega Dimension]] DLC for {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, Drampa was the only Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VII]] that was capable of [[Mega Evolution]].

===Origin===
Drampa appears to be based on a {{wp|Chinese dragon}}, such as the {{wp|Zhulong (mythology)|Zhulong}} (torch dragon), a mythological creature with the face of an old man and the body of a {{wp|dragon}}. Its friendly and caring disposition towards children, elderly appearance, and name may be a reference to grandparents. Its behavior may also be based on Chinese dragons being benevolent creatures. Drampa's white fur resembles {{wp|cumulus cloud}}s which maybe a reference to the traditional connection between Chinese dragons and clouds, where {{wp|Feilong|flying dragons}} are frequently depicted soaring through or riding upon them..

Mega Drampa's fur becoming black resembles {{wp|cumulonimbus cloud|storm clouds}}, alluding to its capacity to summon them. This ability is typical of Chinese dragons, most specifically of {{wp|Shenlong}} (god dragon), who is called a master of rain. Mega Drampa's youth being restored may be a reference to {{wp|atavism}}.

====Name origin====
Drampa may be a combination of ''dragon'' and ''grampa'' (a variation on ''grandpa'').

Jijilong may be a combination of 爺 ''jijī'' (an informal term for an old man) and 龍 ''Lóng'' ({{wp|Chinese dragon}}).

'''Altaria''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''チルタリス''' ''Tyltalis'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Swablu}} starting at [[level]] 35.

Altaria can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Altaria''' using the [[Altarianite]]. Mega Altaria was introduced in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.

==Biology==
Altaria is a blue, avian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Its body and cloud-like wings are covered in fluffy, white feathers. It often folds its wings behind it, obscuring its back. Two long, blue plumes extend like streamers from the back of its head. It has a short, hooked beak and prominent cheek patches, both of which are white. Additionally, it has beady, black eyes. It has a long neck and short legs protruding from its fluffy body. The feet are blue, with four toes, three claws forward, and one backward. The tail comprises five feathers, the outer two longer than the inner ones.

This Pokémon uses its wings to catch updrafts and soar across the sky calmly and gracefully. It gracefully glides through the clouds, often while singing or humming in a soprano voice. Its voice seems to have special properties that induce a dreamy state for listeners. Altaria can be very affectionate, enveloping people it has bonded with in its cotton-like wings. While normally kind, Altaria can attack foes with shrill cries without mercy if provoked. As shown in the {{aniseries|HZ}} episode ''[[HZ065|Liko and Amethio]]'', Altaria's beak is strong enough to shatter boulders. According to [[Solana]] in the {{aniseries|AG}} episode ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys' Crisis!]]'', Altaria uses geomagnetic fields to navigate their flight, and any disturbances can affect their sense of direction. Altaria is often found living in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests}}, though it also inhabits mountain ranges. Altaria has been shown to enjoy water in both the {{pkmn|animated series}} and the {{Trading Card Game}}, although if its wings are exposed to too much of it, they lose their fluffiness, revealing their actual anatomy. As mentioned in the [[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]], Altaria is known to sleep while wrapped inside its wings. While sleeping in its soft, beautiful wings, Altaria may be enjoying the most comfortable sleep ever.

===Forms===
Altaria can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Altaria.

Mega Altaria has more extensive cloud-like plumage, with a large, fluffy mass extending from its back. The feathers have grown as a self-protective measure and glimmer with an iridescent sheen. Its cottony wings are more distinct than its base form, and its blue belly is now exposed. Additional fluff surrounds its neck like a collar, and its head is adorned with a hat-like crest. A single, small feather curls out from its forehead, though its facial features are unchanged. Its tail feathers have grown into a long, wavy streamer with three longer central plumes.

Mega Altaria's singing voice is even more beautiful than its regular form. By singing its beautiful melodies, Mega Altaria's crystal-clear voice can make its listeners experience a dreamy wonderment.<ref>[https://x.com/Pokemon/status/1967996909672407224 | Pokémon Official X Account]</ref> It is known for its pleasant personality and is not timid.<ref>[http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/new-mega-evolutions/mega-altaria Mega Altaria]</ref> Mega Altaria's {{wp|Down feather|down}} is so soft that it seems as though just one touch can melt it. In reality, the down is so strong that just a few strands of it could be used to lift a dump truck.

==Trivia==
* Altaria is the only {{type|Dragon|Dragon-type}} Pokémon that evolves from a {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.
** It is also the only Pokémon whose pre-Evolution and [[Mega Evolution]] do not share any types.
* No other Pokémon has the [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|same type combination]] as Mega Altaria.
** Mega Altaria is also the only Mega Evolved Pokémon with a unique type combination.
*In [[Pokémon Sleep]], due to dual-type Pokémon being retooled into single-type Pokémon, Altaria was classified as a pure Dragon-type, and consequently was the only Dragon-type Pokémon to be available in the game at launch; more Dragon-type Pokémon, such as {{P|Dratini}} and {{P|Bagon}}, would be introduced to the game later on.
* Altaria and the {{p|Applin}} family require only 600,000 experience points to reach level 100, the least of all Dragon-type Pokémon.

===Origin===
Altaria appears to be primarily inspired by a {{wp|Bluebird}}. Its Dragon typing and the elongated body it gains after evolution may also suggest influence from {{wp|Chinese dragons}}. In Chinese culture, dragons, much like bluebirds, bear associations with auspiciousness and good fortune. Another possible motif is the traditional connection between Chinese dragons and clouds, where {{wp|Feilong|flying dragons}} are frequently depicted soaring through or riding upon them.

Altaria may also be based on a {{wp|Peng (mythology)|Peng}}, a Chinese legendary bird of enormous size, said to travel 3000 {{wp|li (unit)|li}} in one flap of its mighty, {{wp|cloud}}-like wings. It is often portrayed as having a fish's head and whiskers. Altaria may also resemble a {{wp|cockatiel}}, albeit with clouds as wings. Similar characteristics shared with cockatiels include its crest and cheek spots. The resemblance is further expanded upon by Altaria's {{Shiny}} form resembling a {{wp|lutino cockatiel}}, which is famous for its mostly white and yellow coloration.

The shape of the fluff on Mega Altaria's head may draw inspiration from {{wp|dutch cap}}s or {{wp|ushanka}}s.

====Name origin====
Altaria may be a combination of ''{{wp|alto}}'' (Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian for ''high''; musical {{wp|Part (music)|part}} between tenor and soprano) and ''aria'' (Italian for ''air''; musical piece for a single voice). Both words being terminologies used in music relate to Altaria's singing abilities. The name may also refer to the star ''{{wp|Altair}}'' (named after the Arabic phrase Al-Nisr Al-Ṭa'ir, "the flying eagle")<ref>https://www.dictionary.com/browse/altair</ref>, the brightest star in the constellation {{wp|Aquila (constellation)|Aquila}}, with the latter's name being the Latin word for eagle; or the former name of the star {{wp|Delta Draconis}}, ''Altais'', a yellow star in the constellation {{wp|Draco (constellation)|Draco}}, with the latter's name being the Latin word for dragon.

Tyltalis may be derived from チルット ''Tyltto'' ({{p|Swablu}}) and ''alis'' (Latin for wings). It may also be a reference to the play ''{{wp|The Blue Bird (play)|The Blue Bird}}'' (L'Oiseau bleu) by Belgian playwright {{wp|Maurice Maeterlinck}}, featuring two siblings named ''Mytyl'' and ''Tyltyl'' tasked in finding the {{wp|bluebird of happiness}}. The latter half of the name may be derived from ''{{wp|cockatrice}}'', a mythical creature with a draconic or serpentine body and a rooster's head. It may also involve チル ''chiru'' ({{wp|Ryukyuan languages|Ryukyuan}} for crane) or ''Tyl'' (alternate name of the star {{wp|Epsilon Draconis}}, located in the constellation Draco) and ''Altais'' (former name of the star Delta Draconis, also located in the constellation Draco).

'''Swablu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''チルット''' ''Tyltto'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Altaria}} starting at [[level]] 35.

==Biology==
Swablu is an avian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a round, blue body. Since it has no discernible neck, its body appears to be all head. There are two long feathers on top of its head, and it has a short, rounded white beak and beady, black eyes. Its wings are fluffy and white, resembling cotton or clouds and are made of air. The wings have a light and fluffy feel. It has tiny, white feet and two pointed tail feathers.

Swablu does not like dirty surroundings, so it cleans things with its cottony wings diligently. It uses streams, freshwater springs, or a manmade shower to wash its wings when they become dirty from polishing. It is commonly found living in flocks in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forested habitats}}, but often flies closer to towns during the spring. Swablu is very friendly and largely unafraid of humans. As a result, it frequently perches on people's heads like a fluffy hat. Swablu can easily hide from foes in clouds thanks to its appearance. As mentioned in the [[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]], Swablu is known to sleep curled up with its wings folded. Swablu is believed to be dreaming about perching atop someone's head.

===Evolution===
Swablu evolves into {{p|Altaria}}.

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

==Trivia==
* Swablu is the only {{type|Normal|Normal-type}} Pokémon that evolves into a {{type|Dragon|Dragon-type}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
Swablu may be based on a {{wp|bluebird}} combined with {{wp|cotton}} or a {{wp|cloud}}. It also shares traits more specifically with the {{wp|ultramarine lorikeet}}. Behaviorally, it is similar to the {{wp|Canada jay}} in that they are both given to sitting on people's heads.

Other possible inspiration is the {{wp|oriental magpie}}. Considered an omen of good fortune in Chinese culture, various {{wp|magpies}} species are known for their singing abilities and blue color. In the Chinese folk tale "{{wp|The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl}}", a bridge of magpies is responsible to reunite the cowherd (represented by the star Altair) and the weaver girl (represented by the star Vega) every year on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month. The Qixi Festival, also known as the Magpie Festival, is celebrated in China on this date. In addition, besides the star Altair being referenced in the name of Swablu's [[Evolution]], the Qixi Festival is referenced in {{p|Altaria}}'s Chinese name.

====Name origin====
Swablu may be a combination of ''{{wp|Cotton swab|swab}}'' (small wad of cotton on a rod) and ''blue''. It may also involve ''{{wp|swallow}}'' (a type of bird).

Tyltto may be a reference to the play ''{{wp|The Blue Bird (play)|The Blue Bird}}'' (L'Oiseau bleu) by Belgian playwright {{wp|Maurice Maeterlinck}}, featuring two siblings named ''Mytyl'' and ''Tyltyl'' tasked in finding the {{wp|bluebird of happiness}}. It may also involve チル ''chiru'' ({{wp|Ryukyuan languages|Ryukyuan}} for crane), ''Tyl'' (alternate name of the star {{wp|Epsilon Draconis}}, located in the constellation {{wp|Draco (constellation)|Draco}}), and ''cotton''.

'''Zeraora''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゼラオラ''' ''Zeraora'') is an {{type|Electric}} [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced during [[Generation VII]], in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}.

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Zeraora can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Zeraora''' using the [[Zeraorite]]. Mega Zeraora was introduced in the [[Mega Dimension]] DLC for {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

Zeraora was officially revealed on April 9, 2018, on [[Oha Suta]].

Zeraora is the last Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Alola Pokédex]] in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.

==Biology==
[[File:Fula City Zeraora.png|200px|thumb|left|Zeraora's claws glowing when attacking]]
Zeraora is a bipedal, feline {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with primarily yellow and black fur. The fur is thinner and black on its lower legs, lower body, upper arms, and face, and is thicker and yellow everywhere else. There is also a zigzagging black stripe on each thigh and two more stripes on each forearm. There are small tufts of light blue fur on its chest and a longer tuft on its forehead. Zeraora also has a single, lightning bolt-shaped blue whisker on each cheek. A long, ponytail-like or tail-like bunch of fur extends from between its shoulders. Zeraora has large ears with black insides and blue eyes. Its forepaws have four clawed fingers and light blue pads, while its hindpaws have only three clawed toes.

In [[Pokémon the Movie: The Power of Us: Zeraora's Story]], it is explained that Zeraora was supposedly born from an explosion caused by a bolt of lightning striking an erupting volcano. It lacks an electricity-generating organ, so it gathers and stores electricity from outside sources. Through the strong electric currents emitted from its paw pads, Zeraora can create a very powerful magnetic field that it can use to levitate and move at high speeds. Its fur is known to stand on end whenever it is using massive amounts of electricity.<ref>[https://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/ultra/en-us/gallery-detail-19.html Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon | Zeraora] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20180813214028/https://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/ultra/en-us/gallery-detail-19.html archived])</ref> Zeraora can tear its opponents apart limb from limb by electrifying its claws. Even if the opponent dodges, they can still get electrocuted by the flying sparks. Zeraora can travel as fast as a lightning strike, with lightning flashing and thunder echoing when it runs. According to the [[Pokécology]] book, it is the fastest known Pokémon, with a top speed of 720,000 miles per hour (1,158,727.68 kilometers per hour, or Mach 938.3930029155).

Zeraora is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Plasma Fists}}.

===Forms===
[[File:Mega Zeraora Charging With Power.png|200px|thumb|left|Mega Zeraora's two tufts of fur rising while it attacks]]
Zeraora can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Zeraora.

As Mega Zeraora, its fur becomes predominantly black, while the stripes on its thighs, the ends of the furs that extend from its nape, and the outlines on its facial fur remain yellow. Its face, neck, torso, upper arms, and the insides of its ears become gray. The fur that extends from its nape splits into two. Its lower legs become light blue, matching the larger tufts of fur on its chest. A blue spike extends from the back of each of its hands, and the tuft on its forehead sharpens into a horn. All of these light blue portions are where its electric energy is concentrated the most.

It is said that Mega Evolution removes an internal limiter within Zeraora's body that contains the electricity in its body, allowing Mega Zeraora to accumulate and store electric energy equivalent to 10 bolts of lightning. By removing this limiter, Mega Zerora is said to become the strongest {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/legends_z-a_dlc/ja/pokemon/251119_01/ メガゼラオラ｜『Pokémon LEGENDS Z-A M次元ラッシュ』公式サイト (Mega Zeraora | "Pokémon LEGENDS Z-A M-Dimension Rush" Official Website)]</ref> It unleashes its full power and releases this energy at its own leisure, so its {{pkmn|Trainer}} needs to either trust its decision or be so in sync with Mega Zeraora that they can match its timing. Its stored energy is potent enough for it to easily fell multiple nearby opponents in a single strike.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/news/mega_zeraora A Shocking Reveal | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref>

He used it to save {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} from {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Ultra Ruin Guzzlord|Guzzlord}}. Afterwards, it battled Pikachu and won. It also appeared in [[SM101|the next episode]].

==Trivia==
* Zeraora is the only {{type|Electric}} [[Mythical Pokémon]], excluding {{p|Arceus}} while holding a [[Zap Plate]].
* On April 26, 2018, [[The Pokémon Company]] released a special [[Battle Video]] for {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} {{DL|Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Version history|version 1.2}} that allowed Zeraora to be legitimately used and battled against in-game prior to its official release, using the code <code>QKUW-WWWW-WWWL-J5TL</code>.
* [[Marshadow (Pokémon)|Marshadow]], Zeraora, and [[Zarude (Pokémon)|Zarude]] were each revealed in the [[I Choose You! trilogy|“I Choose You!” movie trilogy]], portrayed alongside Johto Pokémon [[Ho-Oh (Pokémon)|Ho-Oh]], [[Lugia (Pokémon)|Lugia]], and [[Celebi (Pokémon)|Celebi]] respectively. Each member of the trio has a “Z” theme (Marshadow with its Zenith form & exclusive [[Z-Move]], and the names for the other two).
* In [[The Isle of Armor]] DLC for {{g|Sword and Shield}}, in order to obtain a {{Shiny}} Zeraora, a [[Dynamax]] Zeraora was required for one million players to battle, making it the only Mythical Pokémon that could be encountered in a [[Max Raid Battle]].
* Mega Zeraora has the highest base {{stat|Attack}} and base stat total of all Electric-type Pokémon.
** Mega Zeraora also has the highest base {{stat|Speed}} of all Mega-Evolved Pokémon.

===Origin===
Zeraora's feline appearance may take inspiration from {{wp|cat}}s and {{wp|tiger}}s. Its {{t|Electric}} type may allude to {{wp|Kanehekili}}, the Hawaiian god of thunder. Its design may also reference the {{wp|oni}}, a supernatural creature often associated with tiger pelts and lightning; or even the ''{{wp|raijū}}'', a creature that is the embodiment of lightning in an animal form, which is sometimes represented as a cat. Based on its swift movement and slicing up of its opponents, it may also draw inspiration from the {{wp|kamaitachi}}. Its {{Shiny}} coloration may be based on {{wp|white tiger}}s.

Because of its black and gray fur and massive amount of electrical energy, Mega Zeraora may be based on {{wp|thunderstorm}}s. The tail-like strip of fur on Zeraora's back splitting into two on Mega Zeraora may be a reference to the {{wp|nekomata}}, a cat {{wp|yōkai}} that has gained powers such that its tail is split into two.

====Name origin====
Zeraora's name may be derived from ''{{wp|Zeus}}'' (Greek god of thunder), زر ''zarra'' (Arabic for "to beam/glitter/shine", "to encroach upon one's enemy"), and 虎 ''tora'' (Japanese for tiger) or ''tora'' (Faroese for thunder).

'''Dragonite''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カイリュー''' ''Kairyu'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Flying}} [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Dragonair}} starting at [[level]] 55. It is the final form of {{p|Dratini}}.

Dragonite can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Dragonite''' using the [[Dragoninite]]. Mega Dragonite was introduced in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Dragon Fossil Adventures.png|thumb|left|230px|The skeleton of a Dragonite in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
Dragonite is a {{wp|dragon|draconic}}, bipedal {{wp|reptile|reptilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with light orange skin. It has large, grayish-green eyes and a round snout with small nostrils. A pair of long, thin antennae sprout from the top of its head with a small horn set between them. Its striated underbelly is cream-colored and extends from its neck to the tip of its long, tapering tail. It has thick arms and legs ending in three claws each. The leg joints are well defined, while its arms have a smooth, rounded appearance. Dragonite's wings are small relative to its body with teal wing membranes. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Dragonite is known to sleep soundly while displaying its belly.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> This rare sight is said to be an exhausted Dragonite resting after flying over the vast seas.

Despite its bulky build, Dragonite is capable of flying faster than the speed of sound, being able to circle the globe in sixteen hours. A kind-hearted Pokémon with human-like intelligence, Dragonite shows signs of altruism: it is said to save humans from drowning and lead lost or foundering ships to safety. As demonstrated in ''[[EP253|Great Bowls of Fire!]]'', however, it will go on an uncontrollable, destructive rampage if its environment is threatened. Dragonite will usually calm down and be satisfied after smashing down anything that has angered it to smithereens. It is known to engage in fierce battles with {{p|Kingdra}} whenever they meet. Dragonite has been referred to as the "sea guardian" and the "Sea Incarnate"; as such, there are many ships with figureheads decorated with Dragonite's look. [[Drayden]] stated in ''[[JN065|Thrash of the Titans!]]'' that Dragonite's power is capable of affecting the weather. In [[Fiore]], Dragonite used by {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}}s to travel to different areas in the region, this flying service is called the ''Dragonite Bus''. Dragonite is very rare in the wild, typically {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|living near the sea}}. Some claim that there is [[Dragonite Island|an island]] somewhere in the ocean that only Dragonite inhabit.

In [[Generation II]], Dragonite and its pre-evolved forms were the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Outrage}}, but other Pokémon could still inherit it via {{pkmn|breeding}}.

===Forms===
[[File:Ult Mega Dragonite Hyper Beam.png|thumb|left|250px|Mega Dragonite firing a {{m|Hyper Beam}} from the pearl near the tip of its tail]]
Dragonite can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Dragonite.

As Mega Dragonite, it gains features that are distinctive of {{p|Dragonair}}.<ref name=ZAsite/> Dragonite's antennae grows into large feathery wings on its head, which are light tan in color with white tips. These head wings function as feelers, while also allowing Mega Dragonite to fly.<ref name=ZAsite/> Conversely, the wings on its back have shrunk and become purely teal. Feathery wing-like structures also sprout from Mega Dragonite's shoulders and legs. Mega Dragonite's tail is longer and has a multi-colored pearl near the tip; this pearl glows when Mega Dragonite performs certain attacks. Mega Dragonite's horn is white and now located on its forehead, and it has teal-green eyes. Its cream-colored underbelly no longer extends to its tail, and the numerous straight lines segmenting it are replaced with only five V-shaped ones.

Mega Dragonite's speed and strength have increased significantly from its regular form, but the process of Mega Evolution has also deluged its kindness and helpful nature. Its merciful nature makes it prefer to end matches quickly, smiling as it attacks its opponents with powerful techniques. Likewise, it will rush to help someone it senses to be in trouble, even while it is battling.<ref name=ZAsite>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/mega-dragonite Pokémon Legends: Z-A | Mega Dragonite] — Pokémon Official Website</ref> As seen in the {{aniseries|HZ}} episode [[HZ107]], Mega Dragonite can fire moves like {{m|Hyper Beam}} from the pearl near the tip of its tail. According to the [[Mega Nidothing's Mega Mega! Mega Evolution]] short in [[HZ111]], Mega Dragonite possesses the power to blast through mountains, causing significant destruction in the process.

The Dragon Pokémon easily withstood the attacks from Red's Pokémon and even destroyed the HM before being defeated by [[Misty]] and her [[Gyara]]dos.

[[Lance]] of the [[Elite Four]] owns a {{TP|Lance|Dragonite}} that first appeared in ''[[PS063|Extricated from Exeggutor]]''.

Dragonite was very dedicated to Lance's plan of eradicating most of humanity to create a utopia for Pokémon. It has made several appearances since then, during which it, like its Trainer, has become more benevolent.

====Trophy information====
'''NA:''' ''Dragonite are known for their helpfulness toward people at sea, searching for drowning sailors or leading lost ships back to shore. This is probably why so many are quick to praise Dragonite for their kindness! In battle, though, Dragonite uses its strong body combined with quick moves. Don't worry - win or lose, it'll be friendly when the battle is over.''

'''PAL:''' ''A benevolent Pokémon said to search the ocean for drowning swimmers and guide damaged ships to shore. Because of this, many people venerate Dragonite as a guardian of the sea. In battle, on the other hand, it's a fearsome foe, soaring rapidly through the air to deliver incredible attacks. Let's be thankful it's usually friendly.''

===[[Pokémon UNITE]]===
{{main|Dragonite (UNITE)}}

* Mega Dragonite was the first Mega Evolved Pokémon to be introduced after [[Generation VI]].
* Mega Dragonite and Mega [[Beedrill (Pokémon)|Beedrill]] are the only Pokémon to lower one of their base attacking stats when they undergo Mega Evolution.

===Cultural impact===
The design of Dragonite has been compared by Chinese Pokémon fans to the {{wp|Moomins}}, a Finnish story series. The phrase 快龍就是嚕嚕米 ''Kuailong jiùshì Lǔlǔmǐ'' (lit. "Dragonite is Moomins") is a meme among Chinese fans, and was even shown on the side of the {{wp|Taipei 101}} during the 2023-24 New Year's Countdown in Taiwan.<ref>(January 3, 2024). "[https://tech.udn.com/tech/story/123154/7680001 影／寶可夢快龍獲「台灣最高認證」！台北101外牆1句話讓網笑翻：新年就被臭]." 科技玩家 (Tech.UDN.com)</ref>

===Origin===
Dragonite's benevolent behavior and its description as the "guardian of the sea" may suggest inspiration from {{wp|Chinese dragon|Chinese}} and {{wp|Japanese dragon}}s. Physically, Dragonite resembles a classic {{wp|European dragon}}, but its design also parallels giant monsters from {{wp|kaijū}} films, such as {{wp|Godzilla}}.

Dragonite’s evolutionary line may have been inspired by the life cycle of Chinese dragons described in the Shi Yi Ji: “A water snake (shui hui, 水虺) after five hundred years transforms into a jiao (蛟); a jiao, after a thousand years, becomes a {{wp|Chinese dragon|long}} (龍); a long, after five hundred years, becomes a jiaolong (角龍, ‘horned dragon’); and after a thousand years, it transforms into a {{wp|yinglong}} (應龍).”<ref>[https://archive.org/details/cu31924021444728/page/2/mode/2up Visser, Marinus Willern de (1913). The Dragon in China and Japan. p.72]</ref> In this context, Dragonite may have been inspired by the Yinglong, a winged dragon and rain deity from ancient Chinese mythology, regarded as the final stage in the evolution of dragons.<ref>[https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%87%89%E9%BE%8D#%E6%9C%80%E7%BB%88%E4%B9%8B%E9%BE%99 最终之龙]</ref> The Yinglong, symbolizing both the sea and war, was depicted as an emblem on the flag of the former Coast Guard Command<ref>[https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%B5%B7%E5%B2%B8%E5%B7%A1%E9%98%B2%E5%8F%B8%E4%BB%A4%E9%83%A8#/media/File:Republic_of_China_Coast_Guard_(ROCCG)_Flag.svg ROCCGC Flag]</ref> of the {{wp|Taiwan (Republic of China)}} and is currently featured on the flag of the {{wp|Coast Guard Administration}}.<ref>[https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%87%89%E9%BE%8D#%E6%A8%99%E8%AA%8C 標誌]</ref> This symbolic association may have influenced the descriptions of Dragonite in its Pokédex entries.

Due its coloration, it is possibly that Dagronite might be inspired by {{wp|Yellow Dragon|Huanglong}}, the Yellow Dragron. In Chinese cosmology, Huanglong represents the center and is associated with the Yellow Emperor.

Mega Dragonite's design incorporates features from its pre-Evolution {{p|Dragonair}}, namely the head wings and the pearl on its tail.<ref name=ZAsite/> Its Shiny coloration also resembles Dragonair's standard colors. Its design may also invoke {{wp|angel}}s — the six wings Mega Dragonite gains upon Mega Evolving may reference the {{wp|seraph}}, a type of angel described in the Christian Bible to have six wings, with two wings covering its face and two wings covering its feet.

====Name origin====
Dragonite may be a combination of ''{{wp|dragon}}'' and ''{{wp|knight}}'', ''night'', or ''draconite'' (a mythical stone said to be found in the heads of dragons and are pyramidal in shape, similar to Dragonite's horn).

Kairyu may be derived from 海竜 ''kairyū'' (sea dragon). It may also involve 怪獣 ''kaijū'' (monster), 快 ''kai'' (cheerful), and 破壊 ''hakai'' (destruction).

'''Zeraora''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゼラオラ''' ''Zeraora'') is an {{type|Electric}} [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced during [[Generation VII]], in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}.

While it cannot [[Evolution|evolve]] further into any other Pokémon, Zeraora will be able to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Zeraora''' in the upcoming [[Mega Dimension]] DLC for {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

Zeraora was officially revealed on April 9, 2018, on [[Oha Suta]].

Zeraora is the last Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Alola Pokédex]] in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.

==Biology==
[[File:Fula City Zeraora.png|200px|thumb|left|Zeraora's claws glowing when attacking]]
Zeraora is a bipedal, feline {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with primarily yellow and black fur. The fur is thinner and black on its lower legs, lower body, upper arms, and face, and is thicker and yellow everywhere else. There is also a zigzagging black stripe on each thigh and two more stripes on each forearm. There are small tufts of light blue fur on its chest and a longer tuft on its forehead. Zeraora also has a single, lightning bolt-shaped blue whisker on each cheek. A long, ponytail-like or tail-like bunch of fur extends from between its shoulders. Zeraora has large ears with black insides and blue eyes. Its forepaws have four clawed fingers and light blue pads, while its hindpaws have only three clawed toes.

In [[Pokémon the Movie: The Power of Us: Zeraora's Story]], it is explained that Zeraora was supposedly born from an explosion caused by a bolt of lightning striking an erupting volcano. It lacks an electricity-generating organ, so it gathers and stores electricity from outside sources. Through the strong electric currents emitted from its paw pads, Zeraora can create a very powerful magnetic field that it can use to levitate and move at high speeds. Its fur is known to stand on end whenever it is using massive amounts of electricity.<ref>[https://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/ultra/en-us/gallery-detail-19.html Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon | Zeraora] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20180813214028/https://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/ultra/en-us/gallery-detail-19.html archived])</ref> Zeraora can tear its opponents apart limb from limb by electrifying its claws. Even if the opponent dodges, they can still get electrocuted by the flying sparks. Zeraora can travel as fast as a lightning strike, with lightning flashing and thunder echoing when it runs. According to the [[Pokécology]] book, it is the fastest known Pokémon, with a top speed of 720,000 miles per hour (1,158,727.68 kilometers per hour, or Mach 938.3930029155).

Zeraora is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Plasma Fists}}.

===Forms===
[[File:Mega Zeraora Charging With Power.png|200px|thumb|left|Mega Zeraora's two tufts of fur rising while it attacks]]
Zeraora can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Zeraora.

As Mega Zeraora, its fur becomes predominantly black, while the stripes on its thighs, the ends of the furs that extend from its nape, and the outlines on its facial fur remain yellow. Its face, neck, torso, upper arms, and the insides of its ears become gray. The fur that extends from its nape splits into two. Its lower legs become light blue, matching the larger tufts of fur on its chest. A blue spike extends from the back of each of its hands, and the tuft on its forehead sharpens into a horn. All of these light blue portions are where its electric energy is concentrated the most.

It is said that Mega Evolution removes an internal limiter within Zeraora's body that contains the electricity in its body, allowing Mega Zeraora to accumulate and store electric energy equivalent to 10 bolts of lightning. It unleashes its full power and releases this energy at its own leisure, so its {{pkmn|Trainer}} needs to either trust its decision or be so in sync with Mega Zeraora that they can match its timing. Its stored energy is potent enough for it to easily fell multiple nearby opponents in a single strike.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/news/mega_zeraora A Shocking Reveal | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref>

===Major appearances===
====[[Zeraora (M21)]]====
Zeraora debuted in ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]''. Living in [[Fula City]], it was once hunted down by [[Pokémon hunter]]s and developed a hostility towards all humans following a fire that ravaged Fula City fifty years ago.

====Other====
Zeraora made its animated series debut in ''[[SM100|Battling the Beast Within!]]''. {{al|Dia}}, a former member of the [[Ultra Rangers]], befriended it at some point prior to the episode's events. He used it to save {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} from {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Ultra Ruin Guzzlord|Guzzlord}}. Afterwards, it battled Pikachu and won. It also appeared in [[SM101|the next episode]].

===Minor appearances===

{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Zeraora is the only {{type|Electric}} [[Mythical Pokémon]], excluding {{p|Arceus}} while holding a [[Zap Plate]].
* On April 26, 2018, [[The Pokémon Company]] released a special [[Battle Video]] for {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} {{DL|Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Version history|version 1.2}} that allowed Zeraora to be legitimately used and battled against in-game prior to its official release, using the code <code>QKUW-WWWW-WWWL-J5TL</code>.
* In [[The Isle of Armor]] DLC for {{g|Sword and Shield}}, in order to obtain a {{Shiny}} Zeraora, a [[Dynamax]] Zeraora was required for one million players to battle, making it the only Mythical Pokémon that could be encountered in a [[Max Raid Battle]].

===Origin===
Zeraora's feline appearance may take inspiration from {{wp|cat}}s and {{wp|tiger}}s. Its {{t|Electric}} type may allude to {{wp|Kanehekili}}, the Hawaiian god of thunder. Its design may also reference the {{wp|oni}}, a supernatural creature often associated with tiger pelts and lightning; or even the ''{{wp|raijū}}'', a creature that is the embodiment of lightning in an animal form, which is sometimes represented as a cat. Based on its swift movement and slicing up of its opponents, it may also draw inspiration from the {{wp|kamaitachi}}. Its {{Shiny}} coloration may be based on {{wp|white tiger}}s.

Mega Zeraora may be based on {{wp|thunderstorm}}s. The tail-like strip of fur on Zeraora's back splitting into two on Mega Zeraora may be a reference to the {{wp|nekomata}}, a cat {{wp|yōkai}} that has gained powers such that its tail is split into two.

====Name origin====
Zeraora's name may be derived from ''{{wp|Zeus}}'' (Greek god of thunder), زر ''zarra'' (Arabic for "to beam/glitter/shine", "to encroach upon one's enemy"), and 虎 ''tora'' (Japanese for tiger) or ''tora'' (Faroese for thunder).

'''Dragonite''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カイリュー''' ''Kairyu'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Flying}} [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Dragonair}} starting at [[level]] 55. It is the final form of {{p|Dratini}}.

Dragonite can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Dragonite''' using the [[Dragoninite]]. Mega Dragonite was introduced in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Dragon Fossil Adventures.png|thumb|left|230px|The skeleton of a Dragonite in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
Dragonite is a {{wp|dragon|draconic}}, bipedal {{wp|reptile|reptilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with light orange skin. It has large, grayish-green eyes and a round snout with small nostrils. A pair of long, thin antennae sprout from the top of its head with a small horn set between them. Its striated underbelly is cream-colored and extends from its neck to the tip of its long, tapering tail. It has thick arms and legs ending in three claws each. The leg joints are well defined, while its arms have a smooth, rounded appearance. Dragonite's wings are small relative to its body with teal wing membranes. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Dragonite is known to sleep soundly while displaying its belly.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> This rare sight is said to be an exhausted Dragonite resting after flying over the vast seas.

Despite its bulky build, Dragonite is capable of flying faster than the speed of sound, being able to circle the globe in sixteen hours. A kind-hearted Pokémon with human-like intelligence, Dragonite shows signs of altruism: it is said to save humans from drowning and lead lost or foundering ships to safety. As demonstrated in ''[[EP253|Great Bowls of Fire!]]'', however, it will go on an uncontrollable, destructive rampage if its environment is threatened. Dragonite will usually calm down and be satisfied after smashing down anything that has angered it to smithereens. It is known to engage in fierce battles with {{p|Kingdra}} whenever they meet. Dragonite has been referred to as the "sea guardian" and the "Sea Incarnate"; as such, there are many ships with figureheads decorated with Dragonite's look. [[Drayden]] stated in ''[[JN065|Thrash of the Titans!]]'' that Dragonite's power is capable of affecting the weather. In [[Fiore]], Dragonite used by {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}}s to travel to different areas in the region, this flying service is called the ''Dragonite Bus''. Dragonite is very rare in the wild, typically {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|living near the sea}}. Some claim that there is [[Dragonite Island|an island]] somewhere in the ocean that only Dragonite inhabit.

In [[Generation II]], Dragonite and its pre-evolved forms were the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Outrage}}, but other Pokémon could still inherit it via {{pkmn|breeding}}.

===Forms===
[[File:Ult Mega Dragonite Hyper Beam.png|thumb|left|250px|Mega Dragonite firing a {{m|Hyper Beam}} from the pearl near the tip of its tail]]
Dragonite can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Dragonite.

As Mega Dragonite, it gains features that are distinctive of {{p|Dragonair}}.<ref name=ZAsite/> Dragonite's antennae grows into large feathery wings on its head, which are light tan in color with white tips. These head wings function as feelers, while also allowing Mega Dragonite to fly.<ref name=ZAsite/> Conversely, the wings on its back have shrunk and become purely teal. Feathery wing-like structures also sprout from Mega Dragonite's shoulders and legs. Mega Dragonite's tail is longer and has a multi-colored pearl near the tip; this pearl glows when Mega Dragonite performs certain attacks. Mega Dragonite's horn is white and now located on its forehead, and it has teal-green eyes. Its cream-colored underbelly no longer extends to its tail, and the numerous straight lines segmenting it are replaced with only five V-shaped ones.

Mega Dragonite's speed and strength have increased significantly from its regular form, but the process of Mega Evolution has also deluged its kindness and helpful nature. Its merciful nature makes it prefer to end matches quickly, smiling as it attacks its opponents with powerful techniques. Likewise, it will rush to help someone it senses to be in trouble, even while it is battling.<ref name=ZAsite>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/mega-dragonite Pokémon Legends: Z-A | Mega Dragonite] — Pokémon Official Website</ref> As seen in the {{aniseries|HZ}} episode [[HZ107]], Mega Dragonite can fire moves like {{m|Hyper Beam}} from the pearl near the tip of its tail. According to the [[Mega Nidothing's Mega Mega! Mega Evolution]] short in [[HZ111]], Mega Dragonite possesses the power to blast through mountains, causing significant destruction in the process.

====Major appearances====
=====[[Drake's Dragonite]]=====
In ''[[EP111|Hello, Pummelo!]]'' and ''[[EP112|Enter The Dragonite]]'', {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}} was shown to own a Dragonite, which he used in a [[Full Battle]] against {{Ash}} at the [[Pummelo Stadium]]. Being Drake's ace, it proved to be extremely powerful, using many powerful [[move]]s to defeat three of Ash's Pokémon before ultimately losing to {{AP|Pikachu}}, earning Ash the [[Orange League]] [[Winner's Trophy]].

=====[[Lance's Dragonite]]=====
In ''[[EP235|Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution]]'' and ''[[EP236|Rage of Innocence]]'', {{an|Lance}} used a Dragonite to fight [[Team Rocket]] and defeat the {{TP|Lance|Red Gyarados|Gyarados}}. In ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'', it helped stop the feuding of {{DL|Kyogre and Groudon (Ruby and Sapphire series)|Groudon}} and {{DL|Kyogre and Groudon (Ruby and Sapphire series)|Kyogre}}, and in ''[[JN116|Pride of a Champion!]]'', it fought [[Diantha]] in the [[Masters Eight Tournament]].

=====[[Iris's Dragonite]]=====
In ''[[BW089|Iris and the Rogue Dragonite!]]'', {{an|Iris}} {{pkmn2|caught}} a male Dragonite. He had a notably hostile personality and was initially difficult for Iris to {{pkmn|training|train}}.

=====[[Ash's Dragonite]]=====
Ash caught a newly evolved Dragonite in ''[[JN010|A Test in Paradise!]]'' who became a core member of his team throughout {{aniseries|JN}}.

=====Other=====
[[File:Giant Dragonite.png|thumb|250px|The giant Dragonite in ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'']]
Dragonite debuted as an unidentified [[giant Pokémon]] in ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]''. In the episode, [[Bill]] was deeply fascinated by it.

In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' and its remake ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]'', a Dragonite delivered an invitation to Ash and {{ashfr}} from {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} to come to [[New Island]].

In ''[[EP252|Fangs For Nothin']]'' and ''[[EP253|Great Bowls of Fire]]'', a female Dragonite living in the [[Dragon Holy Land]] used to belong to the former [[Blackthorn Gym]] {{OBP|Gym Leader|EP253}}, but it had become a [[wild Pokémon]] following her Trainer's passing. [[Clair]] was later revealed to have {{pkmn2|caught}} Dragonite sometime before ''[[BW136|A Pokémon of a Different Color!]]''.

In ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'', {{an|Professor Oak}} used a Dragonite to battle the {{pkmn2|Mirage}} {{p|Mewtwo}} created by [[Dr. Yung]]. Despite working alongside [[Misty's Gyarados]], [[May's Combusken]], and [[Ash's Pikachu]], as well as Dragonite's own immense power, they were all defeated.

In ''[[DP118|Pursuing a Lofty Goal!]]'', [[Provo]]'s Dragonite competed in the [[Squallville PokéRinger]]. They went up against [[Paul]], but in the end, Dragonite lost to {{TP|Paul|Honchkrow}} after the latter was able to land a [[critical hit]] with {{m|Sky Attack}} due to its {{a|Super Luck}} [[Ability]].

In ''[[JN010|A Test in Paradise!]]'', multiple Dragonite were living on [[Dragonite Island]]. One of them was targeted by {{TRT}}, but their plan to capture it was thwarted by the Dragonair that would evolve into Ash's Dragonite.

In [[HZ106]], [[Ult]] was revealed to own a Dragonite that belonged to his father. It is kept inside a [[Dusk Ball]] and is capable of [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]].

In [[HZ117]], a Dragonite appeared under the ownership of [[Drayton]].

====Trophy information====
'''NA:''' ''Dragonite are known for their helpfulness toward people at sea, searching for drowning sailors or leading lost ships back to shore. This is probably why so many are quick to praise Dragonite for their kindness! In battle, though, Dragonite uses its strong body combined with quick moves. Don't worry - win or lose, it'll be friendly when the battle is over.''

'''PAL:''' ''A benevolent Pokémon said to search the ocean for drowning swimmers and guide damaged ships to shore. Because of this, many people venerate Dragonite as a guardian of the sea. In battle, on the other hand, it's a fearsome foe, soaring rapidly through the air to deliver incredible attacks. Let's be thankful it's usually friendly.''

===Cultural impact===
The design of Dragonite has been compared by Chinese Pokémon fans to the {{wp|Moomins}}, a Finnish story series. The phrase 快龍就是嚕嚕米 ''Kuailong jiùshì Lǔlǔmǐ'' (lit. "Dragonite is Moomins") is a meme among Chinese fans, and was even shown on the side of the {{wp|Taipei 101}} during the 2023-24 New Year's Countdown in Taiwan.<ref>(January 3, 2024). "[https://tech.udn.com/tech/story/123154/7680001 影／寶可夢快龍獲「台灣最高認證」！台北101外牆1句話讓網笑翻：新年就被臭]." 科技玩家 (Tech.UDN.com)</ref>

===Origin===
Dragonite physically resembles a classic {{wp|European dragon}} but its benevolent behavior and its description as the "guardian of the sea" may suggest inspiration from {{wp|Chinese dragon|Chinese}} and {{wp|Japanese dragon}}s.

Dragonite’s evolutionary line may have been inspired by the life cycle of Chinese dragons described in the Shi Yi Ji: “A water snake (shui hui, 水虺) after five hundred years transforms into a jiao (蛟); a jiao, after a thousand years, becomes a {{wp|Chinese dragon|long}} (龍); a long, after five hundred years, becomes a jiaolong (角龍, ‘horned dragon’); and after a thousand years, it transforms into a {{wp|yinglong}} (應龍).”<ref>[https://archive.org/details/cu31924021444728/page/2/mode/2up Visser, Marinus Willern de (1913). The Dragon in China and Japan. p.72]</ref> In this context, Dragonite may have been inspired by the Yinglong, a winged dragon and rain deity from ancient Chinese mythology, regarded as the final stage in the evolution of dragons.<ref>[https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%87%89%E9%BE%8D#%E6%9C%80%E7%BB%88%E4%B9%8B%E9%BE%99 最终之龙]</ref> The Yinglong, symbolizing both the sea and war, was depicted as an emblem on the flag of the former Coast Guard Command<ref>[https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%B5%B7%E5%B2%B8%E5%B7%A1%E9%98%B2%E5%8F%B8%E4%BB%A4%E9%83%A8#/media/File:Republic_of_China_Coast_Guard_(ROCCG)_Flag.svg ROCCGC Flag]</ref> of the {{wp|Taiwan (Republic of China)}} and is currently featured on the flag of the {{wp|Coast Guard Administration}}.<ref>[https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%87%89%E9%BE%8D#%E6%A8%99%E8%AA%8C 標誌]</ref> This symbolic association may have influenced the descriptions of Dragonite in its Pokédex entries.

Mega Dragonite's design incorporates features from its pre-Evolution {{p|Dragonair}}, namely the head wings and the pearl on its tail.<ref name=ZAsite/> Its Shiny coloration also resembles Dragonair's standard colors. Its design may also invoke {{wp|angel}}s — the six wings Mega Dragonite gains upon Mega Evolving may reference the {{wp|seraph}}, a type of angel described in the Christian Bible to have six wings, with two wings covering its face and two wings covering its feet.

====Name origin====
Dragonite may be a combination of ''{{wp|dragon}}'' and ''{{wp|knight}}'', ''night'', or ''draconite'' (a mythical stone said to be found in the heads of dragons and are pyramidal in shape, similar to Dragonite's horn).

Kairyu may be derived from 海竜 ''kairyū'' (sea dragon). It may also involve 怪獣 ''kaijū'' (monster), 快 ''kai'' (cheerful), and 破壊 ''hakai'' (destruction).

'''Zeraora''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゼラオラ''' ''Zeraora'') is an {{type|Electric}} [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced during [[Generation VII]], in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}.

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Zeraora will be able to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Zeraora''' in the upcoming [[Mega Dimension]] DLC for {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

Zeraora was officially revealed on April 9, 2018, on [[Oha Suta]].

Zeraora is the last Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Alola Pokédex]] in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.

==Biology==
[[File:Fula City Zeraora.png|200px|thumb|left|Zeraora's claws glowing when attacking]]
Zeraora is a bipedal, feline {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with primarily yellow and black fur. The fur is thinner and black on its lower legs, lower body, upper arms, and face, and is thicker and yellow everywhere else. There is also a zigzagging black stripe on each thigh and two more stripes on each forearm. There are small tufts of light blue fur on its chest and a longer tuft on its forehead. Zeraora also has a single, lightning bolt-shaped blue whisker on each cheek. A long, ponytail-like or tail-like bunch of fur extends from between its shoulders. Zeraora has large ears with black insides and blue eyes. Its forepaws have four clawed fingers and light blue pads, while its hindpaws have only three clawed toes.

In [[Pokémon the Movie: The Power of Us: Zeraora's Story]], it is explained that Zeraora was supposedly born from an explosion caused by a bolt of lightning striking an erupting volcano. It lacks an electricity-generating organ, so it gathers and stores electricity from outside sources. Through the strong electric currents emitted from its paw pads, Zeraora can create a very powerful magnetic field that it can use to levitate and move at high speeds. Its fur is known to stand on end whenever it is using massive amounts of electricity.<ref>[https://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/ultra/en-us/gallery-detail-19.html Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon | Zeraora] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20180813214028/https://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/ultra/en-us/gallery-detail-19.html archived])</ref> Zeraora can tear its opponents apart limb from limb by electrifying its claws. Even if the opponent dodges, they can still get electrocuted by the flying sparks. Zeraora can travel as fast as a lightning strike, with lightning flashing and thunder echoing when it runs. According to the [[Pokécology]] book, it is the fastest known Pokémon, with a top speed of 720,000 miles per hour (1,158,727.68 kilometers per hour, or Mach 938.3930029155).

Zeraora is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Plasma Fists}}.

===Forms===
[[File:Mega Zeraora Charging With Power.png|200px|thumb|left|Mega Zeraora's two tufts of fur rising while it attacks]]
Zeraora can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Zeraora.

As Mega Zeraora, its fur becomes predominantly black, while the stripes on its thighs, the ends of the furs that extend from its nape, and the outlines on its facial fur remain yellow. Its face, neck, torso, upper arms, and the insides of its ears become gray. The fur that extends from its nape splits into two. Its lower legs become light blue, matching the larger tufts of fur on its chest. A blue spike extends from the back of each of its hands, and the tuft on its forehead sharpens into a horn. All of these light blue portions are where its electric energy is concentrated the most.

It is said that Mega Evolution removes an internal limiter within Zeraora's body that contains the electricity in its body, allowing Mega Zeraora to accumulate and store electric energy equivalent to 10 bolts of lightning. It unleashes its full power and releases this energy at its own leisure, so its {{pkmn|Trainer}} needs to either trust its decision or be so in sync with Mega Zeraora that they can match its timing. Its stored energy is potent enough for it to easily fell multiple nearby opponents in a single strike.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/news/mega_zeraora A Shocking Reveal | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref>

====Other====
Zeraora made its animated series debut in ''[[SM100|Battling the Beast Within!]]''. {{al|Dia}}, a former member of the [[Ultra Rangers]], befriended it at some point prior to the episode's events. He used it to save {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} from {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Ultra Ruin Guzzlord|Guzzlord}}. Afterwards, it battled Pikachu and won. It also appeared in [[SM101|the next episode]].

==Trivia==
* Zeraora is the only {{type|Electric}} [[Mythical Pokémon]], excluding {{p|Arceus}} while holding a [[Zap Plate]].
* On April 26, 2018, [[The Pokémon Company]] released a special [[Battle Video]] for {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} {{DL|Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Version history|version 1.2}} that allowed Zeraora to be legitimately used and battled against in-game prior to its official release, using the code <code>QKUW-WWWW-WWWL-J5TL</code>.
* In [[The Isle of Armor]] DLC for {{g|Sword and Shield}}, in order to obtain a {{Shiny}} Zeraora, a [[Dynamax]] Zeraora was required for one million players to battle, making it the only Mythical Pokémon that could be encountered in a [[Max Raid Battle]].

===Origin===
Zeraora's feline appearance may take inspiration from {{wp|cat}}s and {{wp|tiger}}s. Its {{t|Electric}} type may allude to {{wp|Kanehekili}}, the Hawaiian god of thunder. Its design may also reference the {{wp|oni}}, a supernatural creature often associated with tiger pelts and lightning; or even the ''{{wp|raijū}}'', a creature that is the embodiment of lightning in an animal form, which is sometimes represented as a cat. Based on its swift movement and slicing up of its opponents, it may also draw inspiration from the {{wp|kamaitachi}}. Its {{Shiny}} coloration may be based on {{wp|white tiger}}s.

Mega Zeraora maybe based on {{wp|black cat}}s. Mega Zeraora's two tail-like strips of fur from its back maybe a reference to the {{wp|nekomata}}, a cat {{wp|yōkai}} that has gained powers and its tail is split into two.

====Name origin====
Zeraora's name may be derived from ''{{wp|Zeus}}'' (Greek god of thunder), زر ''zarra'' (Arabic for "to beam/glitter/shine", "to encroach upon one's enemy"), and 虎 ''tora'' (Japanese for tiger) or ''tora'' (Faroese for thunder).

'''Zeraora''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゼラオラ''' ''Zeraora'') is an {{type|Electric}} [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced during [[Generation VII]], in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}.

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Zeraora will be able to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Zeraora''' in the upcoming [[Mega Dimension]] DLC for {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

Zeraora was officially revealed on April 9, 2018, on [[Oha Suta]].

Zeraora is the last Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Alola Pokédex]] in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.

==Biology==
[[File:Fula City Zeraora.png|200px|thumb|left|Zeraora's claws glowing when attacking]]
Zeraora is a bipedal, feline {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with primarily yellow and black fur. The fur is thinner and black on its lower legs, lower body, upper arms, and face, and is thicker and yellow everywhere else. There is also a zigzagging black stripe on each thigh and two more stripes on each forearm. There are small tufts of light blue fur on its chest and a longer tuft on its forehead. Zeraora also has a single, lightning bolt-shaped blue whisker on each cheek. A long, ponytail-like or tail-like bunch of fur extends from between its shoulders. Zeraora has large ears with black insides and blue eyes. Its forepaws have four clawed fingers and light blue pads, while its hindpaws have only three clawed toes.

In [[Pokémon the Movie: The Power of Us: Zeraora's Story]], it is explained that Zeraora was supposedly born from an explosion caused by a bolt of lightning striking an erupting volcano. It lacks an electricity-generating organ, so it gathers and stores electricity from outside sources. Through the strong electric currents emitted from its paw pads, Zeraora can create a very powerful magnetic field that it can use to levitate and move at high speeds. Its fur is known to stand on end whenever it is using massive amounts of electricity.<ref>[https://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/ultra/en-us/gallery-detail-19.html Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon | Zeraora] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20180813214028/https://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/ultra/en-us/gallery-detail-19.html archived])</ref> Zeraora can tear its opponents apart limb from limb by electrifying its claws. Even if the opponent dodges, they can still get electrocuted by the flying sparks. Zeraora can travel as fast as a lightning strike, with lightning flashing and thunder echoing when it runs. According to the [[Pokécology]] book, it is the fastest known Pokémon, with a top speed of 720,000 miles per hour (1,158,727.68 kilometers per hour, or Mach 938.3930029155).

Zeraora is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Plasma Fists}}.

===Forms===
[[File:Mega Zeraora Charging With Power.png|200px|thumb|left|Mega Zeraora's two tufts of fur rising while it attacks]]
Zeraora can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Zeraora.

As Mega Zeraora, its fur becomes predominantly black, while the stripes on its thighs, the ends of the furs that extend from its nape, and the outlines on its facial fur remain yellow. Its face, neck, torso, upper arms, and the insides of its ears become gray. The fur that extends from its nape splits into two. Its lower legs become light blue, matching the larger tufts of fur on its chest. A blue spike extends from the back of each of its hands, and the tuft on its forehead sharpens into a horn. All of these light blue portions are where its electric energy is concentrated the most.

It is said that Mega Evolution removes an internal limiter within Zeraora's body that contains the electricity in its body, allowing Mega Zeraora to accumulate and store electric energy equivalent to 10 bolts of lightning. It unleashes its full power and releases this energy at its own leisure, so its {{pkmn|Trainer}} needs to either trust its decision or be so in sync with Mega Zeraora that they can match its timing. Its stored energy is potent enough for it to easily fell multiple nearby opponents in a single strike.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/news/mega_zeraora A Shocking Reveal | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref>

====[[Zeraora (M21)]]====

====Other====
Zeraora made its animated series debut in ''[[SM100|Battling the Beast Within!]]''. {{al|Dia}}, a former member of the [[Ultra Rangers]], befriended it at some point prior to the episode's events. He used it to save {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} from {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Ultra Ruin Guzzlord|Guzzlord}}. Afterwards, it battled Pikachu and won. It also appeared in [[SM101|the next episode]].

{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Zeraora is the only {{type|Electric}} [[Mythical Pokémon]], excluding {{p|Arceus}} while holding a [[Zap Plate]].
* On April 26, 2018, [[The Pokémon Company]] released a special [[Battle Video]] for {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} {{DL|Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Version history|version 1.2}} that allowed Zeraora to be legitimately used and battled against in-game prior to its official release, using the code <code>QKUW-WWWW-WWWL-J5TL</code>.
* In [[The Isle of Armor]] DLC for {{g|Sword and Shield}}, in order to obtain a {{Shiny}} Zeraora, a [[Dynamax]] Zeraora was required for one million players to battle, making it the only Mythical Pokémon that could be encountered in a [[Max Raid Battle]].

===Origin===
Zeraora's feline appearance may take inspiration from {{wp|cat}}s and {{wp|tiger}}s. Its {{t|Electric}} type may allude to {{wp|Kanehekili}}, the Hawaiian god of thunder. Its design may also reference the {{wp|oni}}, a supernatural creature often associated with tiger pelts and lightning; or even the ''{{wp|raijū}}'', a creature that is the embodiment of lightning in an animal form, which is sometimes represented as a cat. Based on its swift movement and slicing up of its opponents, it may also draw inspiration from the {{wp|kamaitachi}}. Its {{Shiny}} coloration may be based on {{wp|white tiger}}s.

Mega Zeraora maybe based on {{wp|black cat}}s.

====Name origin====
Zeraora's name may be derived from ''{{wp|Zeus}}'' (Greek god of thunder), زر ''zarra'' (Arabic for "to beam/glitter/shine", "to encroach upon one's enemy"), and 虎 ''tora'' (Japanese for tiger) or ''tora'' (Faroese for thunder).

Zeraora is a bipedal, feline {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with primarily yellow and black fur. The fur is thinner and black on its lower legs, lower body, upper arms, and face, and is thicker and yellow everywhere else. There is also a zigzagging black stripe on each thigh and two more stripes on each forearm. There are small tufts of light blue fur on its chest and a longer tuft on its forehead. Zeraora also has a single, lightning bolt-shaped blue whisker on each cheek. A long, ponytail-like or tail-like bunch of fur extends from between its shoulders. Zeraora has large ears with black insides and blue eyes. Its forepaws have four clawed fingers and light blue pads, while its hindpaws have only three clawed toes.

In [[Pokémon the Movie: The Power of Us: Zeraora's Story]], it is explained that Zeraora was supposedly born from an explosion caused by a bolt of lightning striking an erupting volcano. It lacks an electricity-generating organ, so it gathers and stores electricity from outside sources. Through the strong electric currents emitted from its paw pads, Zeraora can create a very powerful magnetic field that it can use to levitate and move at high speeds. Its fur is known to stand on end whenever it is using massive amounts of electricity.<ref>[https://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/ultra/en-us/gallery-detail-19.html Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon | Zeraora] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20180813214028/https://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/ultra/en-us/gallery-detail-19.html archived])</ref> Zeraora can tear its opponents apart limb from limb by electrifying its claws. Even if the opponent dodges, they can still get electrocuted by the flying sparks. Zeraora can travel as fast as a lightning strike, with lightning flashing and thunder echoing when it runs. According to the [[Pokécology]] book, it is the fastest known Pokémon, with a top speed of 720,000 miles per hour (1,158,727.68 kilometers per hour, or Mach 938.3930029155).

Zeraora is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Plasma Fists}}.

===Forms===
[[File:Mega Zeraora Charging With Power.png|200px|thumb|left|Mega Zeraora's two tufts of fur rising while it attacks]]
Zeraora can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Zeraora.

As Mega Zeraora, its fur becomes predominantly black, while the stripes on its thighs, the ends of the furs that extend from its nape, and the outlines on its facial fur remain yellow. Its face, neck, torso, upper arms, and the insides of its ears become gray. The fur that extends from its nape splits into two. Its lower legs become light blue, matching the larger tufts of fur on its chest. A blue spike extends from the back of each of its hands, and the tuft on its forehead sharpens into a horn. All of these light blue portions are where its electric energy is concentrated the most.

It is said that Mega Evolution removes an internal limiter within Zeraora's body that contains the electricity in its body, allowing Mega Zeraora to accumulate and store electric energy equivalent to 10 bolts of lightning. It unleashes its full power and releases this energy at its own leisure, so its {{pkmn|Trainer}} needs to either trust its decision or be so in sync with Mega Zeraora that they can match its timing. Its stored energy is potent enough for it to easily fell multiple nearby opponents in a single strike.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/news/mega_zeraora A Shocking Reveal | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref>

[[File:Zeraora M21.png|thumb|250px|Zeraora in ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'']]
===Major appearances===
====[[Zeraora (M21)]]====
Zeraora debuted in ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]''. Living in [[Fula City]], it was once hunted down by [[Pokémon hunter]]s and developed a hostility towards all humans following a fire that ravaged Fula City fifty years ago.

====Other====
Zeraora made its animated series debut in ''[[SM100|Battling the Beast Within!]]''. {{al|Dia}}, a former member of the [[Ultra Rangers]], befriended it at some point prior to the episode's events. He used it to save {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} from {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Ultra Ruin Guzzlord|Guzzlord}}. Afterwards, it battled Pikachu and won. It also appeared in [[SM101|the next episode]].

==Trivia==
* Zeraora is the only {{type|Electric}} [[Mythical Pokémon]], excluding {{p|Arceus}} while holding a [[Zap Plate]].
* On April 26, 2018, [[The Pokémon Company]] released a special [[Battle Video]] for {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} {{DL|Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Version history|version 1.2}} that allowed Zeraora to be legitimately used and battled against in-game prior to its official release, using the code <code>QKUW-WWWW-WWWL-J5TL</code>.
* In [[The Isle of Armor]] DLC for {{g|Sword and Shield}}, in order to obtain a {{Shiny}} Zeraora, a [[Dynamax]] Zeraora was required for one million players to battle, making it the only Mythical Pokémon that could be encountered in a [[Max Raid Battle]].

===Origin===
Zeraora's feline appearance may take inspiration from {{wp|cat}}s and {{wp|tiger}}s. Its {{t|Electric}} type may allude to {{wp|Kanehekili}}, the Hawaiian god of thunder. Its design may also reference the {{wp|oni}}, a supernatural creature often associated with tiger pelts and lightning; or even the ''{{wp|raijū}}'', a creature that is the embodiment of lightning in an animal form, which is sometimes represented as a cat. Based on its swift movement and slicing up of its opponents, it may also draw inspiration from the {{wp|kamaitachi}}. Its {{Shiny}} coloration may be based on {{wp|white tiger}}s.

====Name origin====
Zeraora's name may be derived from ''{{wp|Zeus}}'' (Greek god of thunder), زر ''zarra'' (Arabic for "to beam/glitter/shine", "to encroach upon one's enemy"), and 虎 ''tora'' (Japanese for tiger) or ''tora'' (Faroese for thunder).

'''Vaporeon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''シャワーズ''' ''Showers'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Eevee}} when exposed to a [[Water Stone]].

It is one of Eevee's [[Eeveelution|final forms]], the others being {{p|Jolteon}}, {{p|Flareon}}, {{p|Espeon}}, {{p|Umbreon}}, {{p|Leafeon}}, {{p|Glaceon}}, and {{p|Sylveon}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Galea Vaporeon Acid Armor.png|left|thumb|250px|A Vaporeon melting into water molecules]]
Vaporeon is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that shares physical traits with both aquatic and land animals. Vaporeon's body is light blue with a dark blue marking around its head and a spiky ridge down its spine. It has black eyes and a tiny black nose. There is a white fin encircling its neck and three fins with cream-colored webbing on its head. Two of these fins are on either side of its head, similar to ears; and one is directly on top of its head, resembling a {{wp|dorsal fin}}. Vaporeon is a quadruped with three small toes on each foot and dark blue paw pads on the hind feet. Its split tail fin has been mistaken for a mermaid's in the past and is believed to be the origin of mermaid folklore. It can detect moisture with its fins, which vibrate when sensing incoming rain.

Vaporeon is mostly found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban settings}} under the ownership of a {{pkmn|Trainer}}. It is rarely seen in the wild, where it generally prefers clean freshwater lakes and shores, but has also been observed in coastal ocean waters near [[Maricopia Reef|coral reefs]] and blue holes. It has developed gills to become better suited to an aquatic lifestyle, and its cell composition's similarity to water allows it to melt into the water. This ability enables Vaporeon to remain camouflaged while swimming, hiding itself from enemies and allowing it to ambush its prey: fish Pokémon.

===Evolution===
Vaporeon evolves from {{p|Eevee}}.

== Other appearances ==

=== [[Pokémon UNITE]] ===
{{Main|Vaporeon (UNITE)}}
Vaporeon is planned to release as a Defender some time in the future. It will be a Special Attack based Pokémon.

==Trivia==
* Vaporeon weighs the most out of all the Eeveelutions.
* Vaporeon is the only {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that appears in the [[List of Pokémon by Pal Park location#Field|field section]] of [[Pal Park]].
* In {{game|Yellow}}, Vaporeon is programmed to learn both {{m|Haze}} and {{m|Mist}} at level 42; however, a bug prevents a Pokémon from learning more than one move at the same level when leveled up outside of the [[Pokémon Day Care]], so Vaporeon can only learn Mist if it reaches level 42 in the Day Care.
* In {{g|Colosseum}}, Vaporeon possesses a snow-like visual effect surrounding its body in battle. No other Pokémon in the series has this effect.
* Vaporeon is the only Eeveelution that does not share any weakness with another Eeveelution.

===Design variations===
In some [[Generation I]] sprites, Vaporeon had a notably different design, with the backs of its ears being all black, fins on each leg, and a fin running down the entire length of its back. It also had a more protuberant snout, giving it a more dog-like appearance. All of these details were removed in [[Generation II]]. Notably, these details weren't present in its original {{game|Red and Green|s}} artwork.

===Concept and development===
Vaporeon was designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]].<ref name=EVs>(2018) ''EVs''. ([http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-eevee-origins/ English translation] written by Anthony Madry and commissioned by Dr. Lava)</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/atsuko_nishida/status/783643367523557376 Tweet by AtsukoNishida (@atsuko_nishida).] Posted on October 5, 2016.</ref>

===Origin===
According to Atsuko Nishida, Vaporeon and especially its tail were designed with the idea of {{wp|mermaid}}s in mind.<ref name=EVs/> Additionally, Nishida had originally designed Vaporeon to have traits of {{wp|Canidae|dogs}}, but Ken Sigoumi redesigned Vaporeon to have traits of {{wp|Felidae|cats}}.<ref name=EVs/>

Due to its aquatic motif, it also seems to have elements of {{wp|fish}} and {{wp|Cetacea|cetaceans}}. It may also involve a pun on {{wp|catfish}}. Similarly, it may also draw some inspiration from {{wp|List of aquatic humanoids|fish people}} in general, often represented in popular culture as having fins for ears and green or blue skin. The ability to become invisible and turn into water might be inspired by some water {{wp|fairies}}, such as the {{wp|asrai}}.

Vaporeon's chimeric aspect of having a fish tail is similar to many legendary creatures, such as the {{wp|sea goat}} and the {{wp|Hippocampus (mythology)|hippocamp}}. Noticeably, due to the fringe around its neck resembling a {{wp|ruff (clothing)|ruff}} and a {{wp|lion}}'s mane, Vaporeon also shares similarities with the heraldic {{wp|sea-lion}} or the similar-looking {{wp|Merlion}}.

====Name origin====
Vaporeon may be a combination of ''{{wp|vapor}}'' and ''[[Wiktionary:eon#Noun|eon]]'' (an immeasurably long period of time, possibly referring to how long {{wp|evolution}} takes naturally). ''Eon'' is a suffix all {{p|Eevee}} [[Evolution]]s share and was Eevee's English prototype name.

Showers corresponds to the English noun ''[[Wiktionary:shower#Noun|shower]]'' (plural ''showers''), plausibly referring to {{wp|Shower (precipitation)|rain}} or the bathroom {{wp|shower}}, as well as the verb ''[[Wiktionary:shower#Verb|shower]]'' (third-person singular simple present ''showers''), meaning either to spray with water or to use a shower.

'''Vaporeon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''シャワーズ''' ''Showers'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Eevee}} when exposed to a [[Water Stone]].

It is one of Eevee's [[Eeveelution|final forms]], the others being {{p|Jolteon}}, {{p|Flareon}}, {{p|Espeon}}, {{p|Umbreon}}, {{p|Leafeon}}, {{p|Glaceon}}, and {{p|Sylveon}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Galea Vaporeon Acid Armor.png|left|thumb|250px|A Vaporeon melting into water molecules]]
Vaporeon is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that shares physical traits with both aquatic and land animals. Vaporeon's body is light blue with a dark blue marking around its head and a spiky ridge down its spine. It has black eyes and a tiny black nose. There is a white fin encircling its neck and three fins with cream-colored webbing on its head. Two of these fins are on either side of its head, similar to ears; and one is directly on top of its head, resembling a {{wp|dorsal fin}}. Vaporeon is a quadruped with three small toes on each foot and dark blue paw pads on the hind feet. Its split tail fin has been mistaken for a mermaid's in the past and is believed to be the origin of mermaid folklore. It can detect moisture with its fins, which vibrate when sensing incoming rain.

Vaporeon is mostly found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban settings}} under the ownership of a {{pkmn|Trainer}}. It is rarely seen in the wild, where it generally prefers clean freshwater lakes and shores, but has also been observed in coastal ocean waters near [[Maricopia Reef|coral reefs]] and blue holes. It has developed gills to become better suited to an aquatic lifestyle, and its cell composition's similarity to water allows it to melt into the water. This ability enables Vaporeon to remain camouflaged while swimming, hiding itself from enemies and allowing it to ambush its prey: fish Pokémon.

===Evolution===
Vaporeon evolves from {{p|Eevee}}.

{{Main|Vaporeon (UNITE)}}
Vaporeon is planned to release as a Defender some time in the future. It will be a Special Attack based Pokémon.

==Trivia==
* Vaporeon weighs the most out of all the Eeveelutions.
* Vaporeon is the only {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that appears in the [[List of Pokémon by Pal Park location#Field|field section]] of [[Pal Park]].
* In {{game|Yellow}}, Vaporeon is programmed to learn both {{m|Haze}} and {{m|Mist}} at level 42; however, a bug prevents a Pokémon from learning more than one move at the same level when leveled up outside of the [[Pokémon Day Care]], so Vaporeon can only learn Mist if it reaches level 42 in the Day Care.
* In {{g|Colosseum}}, Vaporeon possesses a snow-like visual effect surrounding its body in battle. No other Pokémon in the series has this effect.
* Vaporeon is the only Eeveelution that does not share any weakness with another Eeveelution.

===Design variations===
In some [[Generation I]] sprites, Vaporeon had a notably different design, with the backs of its ears being all black, fins on each leg, and a fin running down the entire length of its back. It also had a more protuberant snout, giving it a more dog-like appearance. All of these details were removed in [[Generation II]]. Notably, these details weren't present in its original {{game|Red and Green|s}} artwork.

===Concept and development===
Vaporeon was designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]].<ref name=EVs>(2018) ''EVs''. ([http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-eevee-origins/ English translation] written by Anthony Madry and commissioned by Dr. Lava)</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/atsuko_nishida/status/783643367523557376 Tweet by AtsukoNishida (@atsuko_nishida).] Posted on October 5, 2016.</ref>

===Origin===
According to Atsuko Nishida, Vaporeon and especially its tail were designed with the idea of {{wp|mermaid}}s in mind.<ref name=EVs/> Additionally, Nishida had originally designed Vaporeon to have traits of {{wp|Canidae|dogs}}, but Ken Sigoumi redesigned Vaporeon to have traits of {{wp|Felidae|cats}}<ref name=EVs/>

Due to its aquatic motif, it also seems to have elements of {{wp|fish}} and {{wp|Cetacea|cetaceans}}. It may also involve a pun on {{wp|catfish}}. Similarly, it may also draw some inspiration from {{wp|List of aquatic humanoids|fish people}} in general, often represented in popular culture as having fins for ears and green or blue skin. The ability to become invisible and turn into water might be inspired by some water {{wp|fairies}}, such as the {{wp|asrai}}.

Vaporeon's chimeric aspect of having a fish tail is similar to many legendary creatures, such as the {{wp|sea goat}} and the {{wp|Hippocampus (mythology)|hippocamp}}. Noticeably, due to the fringe around its neck resembling a {{wp|ruff (clothing)|ruff}} and a {{wp|lion}}'s mane, Vaporeon also shares similarities with the heraldic {{wp|sea-lion}} or the similar-looking {{wp|Merlion}}.

====Name origin====
Vaporeon may be a combination of ''{{wp|vapor}}'' and ''[[Wiktionary:eon#Noun|eon]]'' (an immeasurably long period of time, possibly referring to how long {{wp|evolution}} takes naturally). ''Eon'' is a suffix all {{p|Eevee}} [[Evolution]]s share and was Eevee's English prototype name.

Showers corresponds to the English noun ''[[Wiktionary:shower#Noun|shower]]'' (plural ''showers''), plausibly referring to {{wp|Shower (precipitation)|rain}} or the bathroom {{wp|shower}}, as well as the verb ''[[Wiktionary:shower#Verb|shower]]'' (third-person singular simple present ''showers''), meaning either to spray with water or to use a shower.

'''Cubchoo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''クマシュン''' ''Kumasyun'') is an {{type|Ice}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Beartic}} starting at [[level]] 37.

==Biology==
Cubchoo is a bipedal, ursine {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a light blue head and neck. Its head is slightly pointed at the top and has large round ears; shiny, dark, oval eyes; and a darker blue muzzle. Cubchoo has a shiny dark nose, from which a considerable amount of light blue nasal mucus — the source of its attacks — constantly droops. The lower part of its body is white. It has rounded forepaws, digit-less feet with black paw pads, and a small round tail.

Cubchoo's mucus can cause frostbite, and is inhaled and used for its attacks, as well as smeared on anyone it dislikes. Cubchoo's mucus is also an indicator of its health. When it is healthy, its mucus is sticky and its {{type|Ice}} moves become stronger. However, if it is in bad health, the mucus becomes watery or even nonexistent, which weakens its Ice-type techniques. Cubchoo inhabits cold regions, along the shorelines.

===Evolution===
Cubchoo evolves into {{p|Beartic}}.

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

==Trivia==
[[File:Legends Arceus Cubchoo.png|thumb|200px|Cubchoo mentioned in Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]
* Despite not being available in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], Cubchoo is mentioned by a [[Galaxy Team]] member in the [[Alabaster Icelands]].
* Cubchoo was designed by a staff member who had been wanting to use an idea for freezing snot for some time.<ref>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 201, January 2011 ([http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-3/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref>

===Origin===
Cubchoo is based on a {{wp|polar bear}} cub. The mucus it possesses is likely inspired by the fact that cold weather often results in a runny nose.

====Name origin====
Cubchoo may be a combination of ''cub'' and ''ah-choo'' (sound of a sneeze).

Kumasyun may be a combination of 熊 ''kuma'' (bear) and くしゅん ''kushun'' (onomatopoeia of a sneeze). It may also incorporate 熊 ''xióng'' (Chinese for bear).

'''Cubchoo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''クマシュン''' ''Kumasyun'') is an {{type|Ice}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Beartic}} starting at [[level]] 37.

==Biology==
Cubchoo is a bipedal, ursine {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a light blue head and neck. Its head is slightly pointed at the top and has large round ears; shiny, dark, oval eyes; and a darker blue muzzle. Cubchoo has a shiny dark nose, from which a considerable amount of light blue nasal mucus — the source of its attacks — constantly droops. The lower part of its body is white. It has rounded forepaws, digit-less feet with black paw pads, and a small round tail.

Cubchoo's mucus can cause frostbite, and is inhaled and used for its attacks, as well as smeared on anyone it dislikes. Cubchoo's mucus is also an indicator of its health. When it is healthy, its mucus is sticky and its {{type|Ice}} moves become stronger. However, if it is in bad health, the mucus becomes watery or even nonexistent, which weakens its Ice-type techniques. Cubchoo inhabits cold regions, along the shorelines.

===Evolution===
Cubchoo evolves into {{p|Beartic}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:Legends Arceus Cubchoo.png|thumb|200px|Cubchoo mentioned in Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]
* Despite not being available in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], Cubchoo is mentioned by a [[Galaxy Team]] member in the [[Alabaster Icelands]].
* Cubchoo was designed by a staff member who had been wanting to use an idea for freezing snot for some time.<ref name=NintendoInt>[http://web.archive.org/web/20101228065540/http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/sp/index5.html Page 5 of interview with Game Freak, hosted on Nintendo's official website] (Japanese, archived)</ref>

===Origin===
Cubchoo is based on a {{wp|polar bear}} cub. The mucus it possesses is likely inspired by the fact that cold weather often results in a runny nose.

====Name origin====
Cubchoo may be a combination of ''cub'' and ''ah-choo'' (sound of a sneeze).

Kumasyun may be a combination of 熊 ''kuma'' (bear) and くしゅん ''kushun'' (onomatopoeia of a sneeze). It may also incorporate 熊 ''xióng'' (Chinese for bear).

'''Blaziken''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''バシャーモ''' ''Bursyamo'') is a [[Type|dual-type]] {{2t|Fire|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Combusken}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Torchic}}.

Blaziken can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Blaziken''' using the [[Blazikenite]].

==Biology==
[[File:257Blaziken Dream 2.png|thumb|left|200px|Blaziken firing up its wrist flames]]
Blaziken is a bipedal, chicken-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The majority of Blaziken's body is red with accents of beige, yellow, and gray. Behind its head, there are beige, hair-like feathers that continue downward and surround its chest and abdomen. It has a small red face with a V-shaped crest on its head. Blaziken's blue eyes are semicircular with yellow sclerae, and its mouth is similar to a hooked beak. It has featherless, gray hands with three fingers each, and three clawed toes that are not normally visible due to the shaggy, yellow feathers on the bottom of its legs. A female has a shorter mask and hair than a male.

Blaziken has a courageous personality. Blaziken has strong, muscular legs that give it great lower body strength. This lower body strength helps its kicking and jumping abilities. Its jumps are powerful enough to jump over a 30-story building in a single leap. Blaziken's wrists have gray wristband-like markings capable of producing a tuft of fire above them. Blaziken can also make flames spout from its ankles. This allows it to cloak its feet or fists, and it uses these abilities while practicing a form of {{wp |martial art}}. Its flames burn more intensely when it faces stronger opponents.

The blazing punches of Blaziken can leave its foes scorched and blackened. Every several years, its old feathers burn off, and new, supple feathers grow back in their place. While Blaziken is rarely found in the wild, it is known to inhabit {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}. As mentioned in [[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]], Blaziken will occasionally blow out flames and throw powerful kicks while it slumbers. It's believed to be because Blaziken couldn't get enough battling while it was awake. Blaziken has four different sleep styles: ''Knee-Up Sleep'', ''Focus Energy Sleep'', ''Blaze Kick Sleep'', and ''Atop-Belly Sleep''.

In [[Generation III]], {{m|Blaze Kick}} was its [[signature move]].
===Forms===
Blaziken can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Blaziken.

As Mega Blaziken, it loses its yellow markings and gains black markings on its upper legs and chest. Its hair-like feathers take on a wing-like shape and point upward, and the portion around its chest is rough around its shoulders. The crest on its head changes into a flat horn that curves backward. The fire it creates on its wrists is now longer.

When Blaziken Mega Evolves into Mega Blaziken, it further hones the power of its kicks, always a source of pride to it. As it unleashes a flurry of savage kicks, its legs can begin to burn from the friction of the surrounding atmosphere. According to the [[Mega Evolution Pokédex Short]], as Mega Blaziken's body temperature increases, its power and speed continue to ramp up.<ref name="Mega">[https://web.archive.org/web/20150202050257/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/starter-pokemon/starter-pokemon Starter Pokémon]</ref>

==Trivia==
[[File:Latias Blaziken.jpg|150px|thumb|Pre-alpha sketch of the unused Pokémon]]
[[File:Torchic Beta.jpg|150px|thumb|Pre-alpha sketch of Torchic]]
* Blaziken is the only Pokémon in the final stage of a [[first partner Pokémon]] in the [[core series]] to {{DL|Core series|Pokémon|appear in the animated series before its debut generation}}.
* [[Media:Latias Blaziken.jpg|A pre-alpha sketch]] depicts an [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs|unused Pokémon]] with the traits of both Blaziken and {{p|Latias}}. Likewise, Mega Blaziken's ears appear similar to those in a pre-alpha sketch of Torchic.
* Blaziken and its pre-evolved forms are the only evolutionary line of a first partner Pokémon in which all members have a [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender difference]].
* Mega Blaziken is the only Mega-Evolved Pokémon officially introduced in {{g|X and Y}} that is not native to [[Kalos]].
** Additionally, it is the first Mega-Evolved Pokémon obtainable through an [[event]].
** It is also the only Mega-Evolved Pokémon whose Ability is the same as its base form's [[Hidden Ability]].
* Blaziken was designed by [[Ken Sugimori]], and is among the first [[Hoenn]] Pokémon to be designed.<ref name=ND84>''Nintendo Dream'' Volume 84, February/March 2003 ([http://lavacutcontent.com/sugimori-masuda-gen-3-interview/ English translation] written by Jacob Newcomb and commissioned by Dr. Lava)</ref>

===Origin===
Blaziken is based on the {{wp|Shamo chickens|Shamo chicken}}.<ref name=ND84>''Nintendo Dream'' Volume 84, February/March 2003 ([http://lavacutcontent.com/sugimori-masuda-gen-3-interview/ English translation] written by Jacob Newcomb and commissioned by Dr. Lava)</ref> The feathery legs resemble those of a {{wp|Cochin chicken}}. It bears resemblance to {{wp|Horus}} and {{wp|Ra}}, two anthropomorphic ancient Egyptian deities with falcon heads. Blaziken may also be based on the {{wp|Basan (legendary bird)|basan}}, a legendary fire-breathing chicken of Japanese folklore, or possibly the ''{{wp|karura}}''. It may also be based on the mythical {{wp|Phoenix (mythology)|phoenix}}, as its feathers burn off every few years. It may also draw inspiration from the ''{{jwp|天狗火#松明丸|taimatsu-maru}}'', creatures that resembled raptors or ''{{wp|tengu}}'' and trailed flames.

Its {{t|Fighting}} type and human-like body type may draw inspiration from {{wp|Muay Thai}} fighters, since Blaziken's official artwork depicts a typical {{wp|Knee (strike)#Flying|flying knee}} and Mega Blaziken's stance portrays a {{wp|Muay Thai#Defenses in practice|check}}.

====Name origin====
Blaziken may be a combination of ''blaze'' and ''{{wp|chicken}}''.

Bursyamo may be a combination of ''burn'' or ''burst'' and 軍鶏 ''{{wp|Shamo (chicken)|shamo}}''.

'''Blaziken''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''バシャーモ''' ''Bursyamo'') is a [[Type|dual-type]] {{2t|Fire|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Combusken}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Torchic}}.

Blaziken can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Blaziken''' using the [[Blazikenite]].

==Biology==
[[File:257Blaziken Dream 2.png|thumb|left|200px|Blaziken firing up its wrist flames]]
Blaziken is a bipedal, chicken-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The majority of Blaziken's body is red with accents of beige, yellow, and gray. Behind its head, there are beige, hair-like feathers that continue downward and surround its chest and abdomen. It has a small red face with a V-shaped crest on its head. Blaziken's blue eyes are semicircular with yellow sclerae, and its mouth is similar to a hooked beak. It has featherless, gray hands with three fingers each, and three clawed toes that are not normally visible due to the shaggy, yellow feathers on the bottom of its legs. A female has a shorter mask and hair than a male.

Blaziken has a courageous personality. Blaziken has strong, muscular legs that give it great lower body strength. This lower body strength helps its kicking and jumping abilities. Its jumps are powerful enough to jump over a 30-story building in a single leap. Blaziken's wrists have gray wristband-like markings capable of producing a tuft of fire above them. Blaziken can also make flames spout from its ankles. This allows it to cloak its feet or fists, and it uses these abilities while practicing a form of {{wp |martial art}}. Its flames burn more intensely when it faces stronger opponents.

The blazing punches of Blaziken can leave its foes scorched and blackened. Every several years, its old feathers burn off, and new, supple feathers grow back in their place. While Blaziken is rarely found in the wild, it is known to inhabit {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}. As mentioned in [[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]], Blaziken will occasionally blow out flames and throw powerful kicks while it slumbers. It's believed to be because Blaziken couldn't get enough battling while it was awake. Blaziken has four different sleep styles: ''Knee-Up Sleep'', ''Focus Energy Sleep'', ''Blaze Kick Sleep'', and ''Atop-Belly Sleep''.

In [[Generation III]], {{m|Blaze Kick}} was its [[signature move]].
===Forms===
Blaziken can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Blaziken.

As Mega Blaziken, it loses its yellow markings and gains black markings on its upper legs and chest. Its hair-like feathers take on a wing-like shape and point upward, and the portion around its chest is rough around its shoulders. The crest on its head changes into a flat horn that curves backward. The fire it creates on its wrists is now longer.

When Blaziken Mega Evolves into Mega Blaziken, it further hones the power of its kicks, always a source of pride to it. As it unleashes a flurry of savage kicks, its legs can begin to burn from the friction of the surrounding atmosphere. According to the [[Mega Evolution Pokédex Short]], as Mega Blaziken's body temperature increases, its power and speed continue to ramp up.<ref name="Mega">[https://web.archive.org/web/20150202050257/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/starter-pokemon/starter-pokemon Starter Pokémon]</ref>

==Trivia==
[[File:Latias Blaziken.jpg|150px|thumb|Pre-alpha sketch of the unused Pokémon]]
[[File:Torchic Beta.jpg|150px|thumb|Pre-alpha sketch of Torchic]]
* Blaziken is the only Pokémon in the final stage of a [[first partner Pokémon]] in the [[core series]] to {{DL|Core series|Pokémon|appear in the animated series before its debut generation}}.
* [[Media:Latias Blaziken.jpg|A pre-alpha sketch]] depicts an [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs|unused Pokémon]] with the traits of both Blaziken and {{p|Latias}}. Likewise, Mega Blaziken's ears appear similar to those in a pre-alpha sketch of Torchic.
* Blaziken and its pre-evolved forms are the only evolutionary line of a first partner Pokémon in which all members have a [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender difference]].
* Mega Blaziken is the only Mega-Evolved Pokémon officially introduced in {{g|X and Y}} that is not native to [[Kalos]].
** Additionally, it is the first Mega-Evolved Pokémon obtainable through an [[event]].
** It is also the only Mega-Evolved Pokémon whose Ability is the same as its base form's [[Hidden Ability]].
* Blaziken was designed by [[Ken Sugimori]], and is among the first [[Hoenn]] Pokémon to be designed.<ref name=ND84>''Nintendo Dream'' Volume 84, February/March 2003 ([http://lavacutcontent.com/sugimori-masuda-gen-3-interview/ English translation] written by Jacob Newcomb and commissioned by Dr. Lava)</ref>

===Origin===
Blaziken is based on the Japanese {{wp|Shamo chickens|Shamo chicken}}.<ref name=ND84>''Nintendo Dream'' Volume 84, February/March 2003 ([http://lavacutcontent.com/sugimori-masuda-gen-3-interview/ English translation] written by Jacob Newcomb and commissioned by Dr. Lava)</ref> The feathery legs resemble those of a {{wp|Cochin chicken}}. It bears resemblance to {{wp|Horus}} and {{wp|Ra}}, two anthropomorphic ancient Egyptian deities with falcon heads. Blaziken may also be based on the {{wp|Basan (legendary bird)|basan}}, a legendary fire-breathing chicken of Japanese folklore, or possibly the ''{{wp|karura}}''. It may also be based on the mythical {{wp|Phoenix (mythology)|phoenix}}, as its feathers burn off every few years. It may also draw inspiration from the ''{{jwp|天狗火#松明丸|taimatsu-maru}}'', creatures that resembled raptors or ''{{wp|tengu}}'' and trailed flames.

Its {{t|Fighting}} type and human-like body type may draw inspiration from {{wp|Muay Thai}} fighters, since Blaziken's official artwork depicts a typical {{wp|Knee (strike)#Flying|flying knee}} and Mega Blaziken's stance portrays a {{wp|Muay Thai#Defenses in practice|check}}.

====Name origin====
Blaziken may be a combination of ''blaze'' and ''{{wp|chicken}}''.

Bursyamo may be a combination of ''burn'' or ''burst'' and 軍鶏 ''{{wp|Shamo (chicken)|shamo}}''.

'''Slaking''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ケッキング''' ''Kekking'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Vigoroth}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Slakoth}}.

==Biology==
Slaking is a large, bulky, ape-like bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Most of its shaggy fur is brown, along with the semi-circle patterning under its eyes. Its face, chest, hands, and feet are lighter in color. Its brows are thick and jutting, and it has a large, pink [[wp:Pig|pig]]-like snout. Around its neck is a white collar of fur that extends over the top of its head before ending in a small tuft. It has large, five-fingered hands and two-toed feet.

During most of the day, Slaking lolls around and sleeps. It is considered the laziest Pokémon, but even when it is lounging it's saving energy. It can exert a lot of power by releasing built-up energy all at once and is said to be feared for its immense strength. Slaking lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|tropical forests}}, where it feeds on grass and ripened fruit that falls from trees. It only moves around when there is no more food within reach for it to eat. As mentioned in the [[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]], it is rare to see Slaking dozing off while consuming the grass around it.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex entry]]: "It is the world's laziest Pokémon, spending all day lying down and lolling about. On very rare occasions you might even see a Slaking that dozed off while snacking on the grass around it."</ref>

In [[Generation III]], {{m|Slack Off}} was its [[signature move]]. Prior to [[Generation V]] and in [[Generation IX]], Slaking and its unevolved form, {{p|Slakoth}}, are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Truant}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===
Slaking evolves from {{p|Vigoroth}} and is the final form of {{p|Slakoth}}.

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

In ''[[XY126|Valuable Experience for All!]]'', [[Sawyer]] used a Slaking in the [[Lumiose Conference]], during which it defeated a Trainer's {{p|Medicham}}. In ''[[XY127|Analysis Versus Passion!]]'', it was used during Sawyer's [[Full Battle]] against {{Ash}}, where it defeated {{AP|Hawlucha}} before losing to {{AP|Talonflame}}.

A Slaking appeared in ''[[HZ090|Eyes to the Skies Once Again, Part 1]]'', having been affected by the [[Laquium]].

===Ash & Pikachu===
{{main|Norman's Slaking}}
[[Norman]]'s Slaking appeared in ''[[SP25|I'll Win With My Own Battle Style!!]]''.

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Norman's Slaking}}
{{adv|Norman}}'s signature Pokémon is a {{TP|Norman|Slaking}}, who first appeared in ''[[PS186|Brushing Past Breloom]]''. Although it would seem that his {{a|Truant|Ability}} would be of a major hindrance, he shows that by having a {{p|Spinda}} tag alongside him and use {{m|Skill Swap}} in times of need, his impressive strength and speed would be wielded to their maximum. Additionally, the move {{m|Bulk Up}} allows him to bolster his stats even more.

{{adv|Emerald}} used a Slaking during his {{gdis|Battle Factory|III}} challenge in ''[[PS306|Pinsir Me, I Must Be Dreaming]]''. Thanks to {{m|Slack Off}}, it was able to outlast a {{p|Hitmonlee}} despite its type and speed disadvantages. After the battle, it was swapped with a {{p|Linoone}}.

The Battle Factory rented a Slaking, which was stolen by [[Guile Hideout]] in ''[[PS315|Skirting Around Surskit I]]''.

[[Spenser]] used a Slaking against the young boy in ''[[PS325|Standing in the Way with Starmie]]'', but their {{pkmn|battle}} was not seen.

A Slaking appeared in a flashback as one of the Pokémon trained by the [[International Police]] in ''[[PS528|Innocent Scientist]]''.

===Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire===
A Slaking appeared in ''[[PMRS17|Serious Bicycle Match!]]'', under the ownership of [[Rydel's rival]].

==In the TCG==

==In the TFG==
One Slaking figure has been released.
* {{TFG|Groundbreakers}}: {{TFG ID|Groundbreakers|Slaking|28}}

==Other appearances==
==={{DetPikMov}}===
Two Slaking appeared in {{DetPikMov}}.

==Trivia==
* Slaking has several similarities to {{p|Regigigas}}. They are both {{t|Normal}} types, have [[:Category:Abilities with negative effects|hindering]] {{Abilities}} ({{a|Truant}} and {{a|Slow Start}}), have the highest base {{stat|Attack}} stat of all {{type|Normal}} Pokémon, and have the same base stat totals.
* Slaking has the highest base stat total of any non-{{pkmn2|Mythical}}, {{pkmn2|Legendary}}, or [[Mega Evolution]].
* A {{DL|List of unused Pokémon and character designs|Godzillante & Gorillaimo|pre-alpha sketch}} from the development of [[Capsule Monsters]] depicts a Pokémon that bears a slight resemblance to Slaking.

===Origin===
Slaking appears to draw inspiration from {{wp|sloth}}s, more specifically the prehistoric giant ground sloths ''{{wp|Megatherium}}'' or ''{{wp|Eremotherium}}'' due to its large size. It also closely resembles a {{wp|great ape}}, a {{wp|gorilla}} in particular, with the "-king" in both its Japanese and English names possibly alluding to {{wp|King Kong}}. Its lazy behavior is based on the concept of Slakoth going from a sloth to being motivated, then deciding it wasn't worth it.<ref name=ND84>''Nintendo Dream'' Volume 84, February/March 2003 ([http://lavacutcontent.com/sugimori-masuda-gen-3-interview/ English translation] written by Jacob Newcomb and commissioned by Dr. Lava)</ref> It also has some similarities to human {{wp|old age|elder}}s, suck as its baldness and white fur on its head and around its neck, and being so much less active than Vigoroth.

====Name origin====
Slaking may be derived from ''slacking'', or a combination of ''slack'' and ''king''.

Kekking may be a combination of 欠勤 ''kekkin'' (absence from work) and ''king''.

'''Vigoroth''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヤルキモノ''' ''Yarukimono'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Slakoth}} starting at [[level]] 18 and evolves into {{p|Slaking}} starting at level 36.

==Biology==
Vigoroth is a white, sloth-like, bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a teardrop-shaped tuft of red fur on its forehead. It has stubby ears, two small, triangular teeth in each jaw, a brown lower jaw, and large eyes encircled by brown rings. There are two stripes on its back, which are also brown. Its arms are long, and its hands and feet have two sharp black claws. The undersides of its hands and feet have circular red pads, and its rear also has a baboon-like patch of red. The fur on its chest, tail, and sides of its maw are shaggy.

Vigoroth's heart beats ten times faster than it did as a {{p|Slakoth}}, and as such, it cannot sit still for even a minute. Attempting to stand still or sleep raises its stress level and agitates its blood. It likes to go berserk by spinning its arms to destroy anything in its path. It runs wild through the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|jungle.}} Due to its rampages, it is always hungry. As mentioned in the [[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]], despite Vigoroth appearing to be fast alseep at first glance, it is unable to sleep deeply.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex entry]]: "This Pokémon is incapable of sitting still. It's said that Vigoroth's blood is so agitated that it's unable to sleep deeply, even when it seems at first glance to be fast asleep."</ref>

===Evolution===
Vigoroth evolves from {{p|Slakoth}} and evolves into {{p|Slaking}}.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Vigoroth (TCG)}}
==Trivia==
===Origin===
Vigoroth seems to be based on {{wp|sloth}}s, exhibiting traits most similar to {{wp|two-toed sloth}}s and {{wp|ground sloth}}s in particular. It also exhibits some similarities to {{wp|Old World monkey}}s, particularly to {{wp|baboon}}s who have bright red rumps, short tails, and are known for violent outbursts just like Vigoroth. It also has some similarities to human {{wp|youth}}s such as it extreme hyperactivity and tendency to cause destruction, as youths are full of energy and can be reckless and the tuft of fur on its head being more devoloped than that of Slakoth.

====Name origin====
Vigoroth may be a combination of ''vigor'' or ''vigorous'' and ''{{wp|sloth}}''.

Yarukimono may be a combination of やる気 ''yaruki'' (motivation) and 樹懶 ''namakemono'' (sloth).

There is a scruff of fur on top of its head, and it has a large pink [[wp:Pig|pig]]-like snout, pink eyelids, and dark rings around its eyes. It has long, lanky arms, but shorter legs. Each paw has two sharp claws, and there are pink paw pads on the back feet. Its underbelly and rear are also pink.

Slakoth lolls around and sleeps for more than twenty hours a day, which can make those around it drowsy. Since it does not move very much, it does not need much food and only eats three leaves each day. Its heart only beats once a minute. In [[Generation III]], {{m|Slack Off}} was its [[signature move]]. It makes its nest in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|tropical forests}}, and keeps the same one during its entire life. However, it can travel far by swimming in rivers. As mentioned in the [[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]], Drowsy Power is the only thing that make Slakoth move in order sleep near {{p|Snorlax}}.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex entry]]: "Slakoth spends nearly all its time in a day sprawled out, trying to use as little energy as possible. Drowsy Power is the only thing that can successfully lure it to come and sleep by Snorlax's side."</ref>

Prior to [[Generation V]] and in [[Generation IX]], Slakoth and its fully evolved form, {{p|Slaking}}, are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Truant}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===
Slakoth evolves into {{p|Vigoroth}}, which evolves into {{p|Slaking}}.

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

==Trivia==
* Slakoth is one of fourteen {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that one could collect [[foreign Pokédex entries]] for in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* According to [[Ken Sugimori]] in an interview, Slakoth's name was conceived first before its character design was created.<ref name=ND84 />
* In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Slakoth, despite being programmed to spawn in [[South Province (Area Three)]], will not do so due to the lack of appropriate trees in the area.

===Origin===
Slakoth is based on {{wp|sloth}}s,<ref name=ND84>''Nintendo Dream'' Volume 84, February/March 2003 ([http://lavacutcontent.com/sugimori-masuda-gen-3-interview/ English translation] written by Jacob Newcomb and commissioned by Dr. Lava)</ref>; the number of digits on its paws suggest it is based on the {{wp|two-toed sloth}}. It also has some similarities to human {{wp|infant}}s, such as spending more time sleeping than awake, and primarily lying on its stomach, as babies do not have the muscle mass to hold themselves upright.

====Name origin====
Slakoth may be a combination of ''slack off'' and ''{{wp|sloth}}''.

Namakero may be a combination of 怠ける ''namakeru'' (to slack off/laze around) and 樹懶 ''namakemono'' (sloth).

'''Vigoroth''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヤルキモノ''' ''Yarukimono'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Slakoth}} starting at [[level]] 18 and evolves into {{p|Slaking}} starting at level 36.

==Biology==
Vigoroth is a white, sloth-like, bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a teardrop-shaped tuft of red fur on its forehead. It has stubby ears, two small, triangular teeth in each jaw, a brown lower jaw, and large eyes encircled by brown rings. There are two stripes on its back, which are also brown. Its arms are long, and its hands and feet have two sharp black claws. The undersides of its hands and feet have circular red pads, and its rear also has a baboon-like patch of red. The fur on its chest, tail, and sides of its maw are shaggy.

Vigoroth's heart beats ten times faster than it did as a {{p|Slakoth}}, and as such, it cannot sit still for even a minute. Attempting to stand still or sleep raises its stress level and agitates its blood. It likes to go berserk by spinning its arms to destroy anything in its path. It runs wild through the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|jungle.}} Due to its rampages, it is always hungry. As mentioned in the [[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]], despite Vigoroth appearing to be fast alseep at first glance, it is unable to sleep deeply.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex entry]]: "This Pokémon is incapable of sitting still. It's said that Vigoroth's blood is so agitated that it's unable to sleep deeply, even when it seems at first glance to be fast asleep."</ref>

===Evolution===
Vigoroth evolves from {{p|Slakoth}} and evolves into {{p|Slaking}}.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Vigoroth (TCG)}}
==Trivia==
===Origin===
Vigoroth seems to be based on {{wp|sloth}}s, exhibiting traits most similar to {{wp|two-toed sloth}}s and {{wp|ground sloth}}s in particular. It also exhibits some similarities to {{wp|Old World monkey}}s, particularly to {{wp|baboon}}s who have bright red rumps, short tails, and are known for violent outbursts just like Vigoroth. It also has some similarities to human {{wp|youth}}s such as it extreme hyperactivity, tendency to cause destruction and harm, and the red fur on its head resembling a {{wp|mohawk haistyle|mohawk}}.

====Name origin====
Vigoroth may be a combination of ''vigor'' or ''vigorous'' and ''{{wp|sloth}}''.

Yarukimono may be a combination of やる気 ''yaruki'' (motivation) and 樹懶 ''namakemono'' (sloth).

'''Slaking''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ケッキング''' ''Kekking'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Vigoroth}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Slakoth}}.

==Biology==
Slaking is a large, bulky, ape-like bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Most of its shaggy fur is brown, along with the semi-circle patterning under its eyes. Its face, chest, hands, and feet are lighter in color. Its brows are thick and jutting, and it has a large, pink [[wp:Pig|pig]]-like snout. Around its neck is a white collar of fur that extends over the top of its head before ending in a small tuft. It has large, five-fingered hands and two-toed feet.

During most of the day, Slaking lolls around and sleeps. It is considered the laziest Pokémon, but even when it is lounging it's saving energy. It can exert a lot of power by releasing built-up energy all at once and is said to be feared for its immense strength. Slaking lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|tropical forests}}, where it feeds on grass and ripened fruit that falls from trees. It only moves around when there is no more food within reach for it to eat. As mentioned in the [[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]], it is rare to see Slaking dozing off while consuming the grass around it.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex entry]]: "It is the world's laziest Pokémon, spending all day lying down and lolling about. On very rare occasions you might even see a Slaking that dozed off while snacking on the grass around it."</ref>

In [[Generation III]], {{m|Slack Off}} was its [[signature move]]. Prior to [[Generation V]] and in [[Generation IX]], Slaking and its unevolved form, {{p|Slakoth}}, are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Truant}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===
Slaking evolves from {{p|Vigoroth}} and is the final form of {{p|Slakoth}}.

Slaking debuted in ''[[AG069|Love, Petalburg Style]]'', under the ownership of [[Norman]]. In [[AG070|the following episode]], [[Ash's Grovyle]] defeated it during a [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}, winning {{Ash}} the {{badge|Balance}}.

=====Other=====
Multiple Slaking appeared in ''[[AG179|Slaking Kong]]'', where they played a major role.

In ''[[XY126|Valuable Experience for All!]]'', [[Sawyer]] used a Slaking in the [[Lumiose Conference]], during which it defeated a Trainer's {{p|Medicham}}. In ''[[XY127|Analysis Versus Passion!]]'', it was used during Sawyer's [[Full Battle]] against {{Ash}}, where it defeated {{AP|Hawlucha}} before losing to {{AP|Talonflame}}.

A Slaking appeared in ''[[HZ090|Eyes to the Skies Once Again, Part 1]]'', having been affected by the [[Laquium]].

In ''[[BW134|The Journalist from Another Region!]]'', a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Slaking was entered in the [[Pokémon Sumo Tournament]] on [[Harvest Island]]. It was [[Ash's Pignite]]'s second opponent, and it lost due to not even trying to make an effort in the battle.

In ''[[JN095|The Good, The Bad, and The Lucky!]]'', [[James]] pulled a Slaking from the [[Rocket Prize Master]] that did absolutely nothing to help him.

===Ash & Pikachu===
{{main|Norman's Slaking}}
[[Norman]]'s Slaking appeared in ''[[SP25|I'll Win With My Own Battle Style!!]]''.

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Norman's Slaking}}
{{adv|Norman}}'s signature Pokémon is a {{TP|Norman|Slaking}}, who first appeared in ''[[PS186|Brushing Past Breloom]]''. Although it would seem that his {{a|Truant|Ability}} would be of a major hindrance, he shows that by having a {{p|Spinda}} tag alongside him and use {{m|Skill Swap}} in times of need, his impressive strength and speed would be wielded to their maximum. Additionally, the move {{m|Bulk Up}} allows him to bolster his stats even more.

{{adv|Emerald}} used a Slaking during his {{gdis|Battle Factory|III}} challenge in ''[[PS306|Pinsir Me, I Must Be Dreaming]]''. Thanks to {{m|Slack Off}}, it was able to outlast a {{p|Hitmonlee}} despite its type and speed disadvantages. After the battle, it was swapped with a {{p|Linoone}}.

The Battle Factory rented a Slaking, which was stolen by [[Guile Hideout]] in ''[[PS315|Skirting Around Surskit I]]''.

[[Spenser]] used a Slaking against the young boy in ''[[PS325|Standing in the Way with Starmie]]'', but their {{pkmn|battle}} was not seen.

A Slaking appeared in a flashback as one of the Pokémon trained by the [[International Police]] in ''[[PS528|Innocent Scientist]]''.

===Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire===
A Slaking appeared in ''[[PMRS17|Serious Bicycle Match!]]'', under the ownership of [[Rydel's rival]].

==Other appearances==
==={{DetPikMov}}===
Two Slaking appeared in {{DetPikMov}}.

==Trivia==
* Slaking has several similarities to {{p|Regigigas}}. They are both {{t|Normal}} types, have [[:Category:Abilities with negative effects|hindering]] {{Abilities}} ({{a|Truant}} and {{a|Slow Start}}), have the highest base {{stat|Attack}} stat of all {{type|Normal}} Pokémon, and have the same base stat totals.
* Slaking has the highest base stat total of any non-{{pkmn2|Mythical}}, {{pkmn2|Legendary}}, or [[Mega Evolution]].
* A {{DL|List of unused Pokémon and character designs|Godzillante & Gorillaimo|pre-alpha sketch}} from the development of [[Capsule Monsters]] depicts a Pokémon that bears a slight resemblance to Slaking.

===Origin===
Slaking appears to draw inspiration from {{wp|sloth}}s, more specifically the prehistoric giant ground sloths ''{{wp|Megatherium}}'' or ''{{wp|Eremotherium}}'' due to its large size. It also closely resembles a {{wp|great ape}}, such as a {{wp|gorilla}}, with the "-king" in both its Japanese and English names possibly alluding to {{wp|King Kong}}. It's lazy behavior is based on the concept of slakoth going from a sloth to being motivated, then deciding it wasn't worth it.<ref name=ND84>''Nintendo Dream'' Volume 84, February/March 2003 ([http://lavacutcontent.com/sugimori-masuda-gen-3-interview/ English translation] written by Jacob Newcomb and commissioned by Dr. Lava)</ref> It also has some similarities to human {{wp|old age|elder}}s, due to its baldness, pink snout, and white fur on its head and around its neck and being less much less active than Vigoroth.

====Name origin====
Slaking may be derived from ''slacking'', or a combination of ''slack'' and ''king''.

Kekking may be a combination of 欠勤 ''kekkin'' (absence from work) and ''king''.

'''Vigoroth''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヤルキモノ''' ''Yarukimono'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Slakoth}} starting at [[level]] 18 and evolves into {{p|Slaking}} starting at level 36.

==Biology==
Vigoroth is a white, sloth-like, bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a teardrop-shaped tuft of red fur on its forehead. It has stubby ears, two small, triangular teeth in each jaw, a brown lower jaw, and large eyes encircled by brown rings. There are two stripes on its back, which are also brown. Its arms are long, and its hands and feet have two sharp black claws. The undersides of its hands and feet have circular red pads, and its rear also has a baboon-like patch of red. The fur on its chest, tail, and sides of its maw are shaggy.

Vigoroth's heart beats ten times faster than it did as a {{p|Slakoth}}, and as such, it cannot sit still for even a minute. Attempting to stand still or sleep raises its stress level and agitates its blood. It likes to go berserk by spinning its arms to destroy anything in its path. It runs wild through the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|jungle.}} Due to its rampages, it is always hungry. As mentioned in the [[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]], despite Vigoroth appearing to be fast alseep at first glance, it is unable to sleep deeply.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex entry]]: "This Pokémon is incapable of sitting still. It's said that Vigoroth's blood is so agitated that it's unable to sleep deeply, even when it seems at first glance to be fast asleep."</ref>

===Evolution===
Vigoroth evolves from {{p|Slakoth}} and evolves into {{p|Slaking}}.

==In animation==
[[File:Pokémon Grand Eating Contest Vigoroth.png|thumb|250px|Vigoroth in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
===Main series===
====Major appearances====
Vigoroth debuted in ''[[AG003|There's no Place Like Hoenn]]'', under the ownership of [[Norman]]. In ''[[AG069|Love, Petalburg Style]]'' and ''[[AG070|Balance of Power]]'', it was used in a [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} against {{Ash}}. It defeated {{AP|Torkoal}} due to its speed, but the match against {{AP|Pikachu}} ended in a draw because it was {{status|Paralysis|paralyzed}} by Pikachu's {{a|Static}} [[Ability]].

In ''[[AG088|The Garden of Eatin']]'', a {{p|Snorlax}} was causing trouble for [[Marcel]] by eating the bananas in his [[Banana Slakoth Garden]]. No one was able to stop it until one of the Slakoth in the garden [[Evolution|evolved]] into a Vigoroth and defeated Snorlax, allowing Marcel to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it.

==Trivia==
===Origin===
Vigoroth seems to be based on {{wp|sloth}}s, exhibiting traits most similar to {{wp|two-toed sloth}}s and {{wp|ground sloth}}s in particular. It also exhibits some similarities to {{wp|Old World monkey}}s, particularly to {{wp|baboon}}s who have bright red rumps, short tails, and are known for violent outbursts just like Vigoroth. It also has some similarities to human {{wp|youth}}s such as it extreme hyperactivity and the red fur on its head resembling a {{wp|mohawk haistyle|mohawk}}.

====Name origin====
Vigoroth may be a combination of ''vigor'' or ''vigorous'' and ''{{wp|sloth}}''.

Yarukimono may be a combination of やる気 ''yaruki'' (motivation) and 樹懶 ''namakemono'' (sloth).

'''Slaking''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ケッキング''' ''Kekking'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Vigoroth}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Slakoth}}.

==Biology==
Slaking is a large, bulky, ape-like bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Most of its shaggy fur is brown, along with the semi-circle patterning under its eyes. Its face, chest, hands, and feet are lighter in color. Its brows are thick and jutting, and it has a large, pink [[wp:Pig|pig]]-like snout. Around its neck is a white collar of fur that extends over the top of its head before ending in a small tuft. It has large, five-fingered hands and two-toed feet.

During most of the day, Slaking lolls around and sleeps. It is considered the laziest Pokémon, but even when it is lounging it's saving energy. It can exert a lot of power by releasing built-up energy all at once and is said to be feared for its immense strength. Slaking lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|tropical forests}}, where it feeds on grass and ripened fruit that falls from trees. It only moves around when there is no more food within reach for it to eat. As mentioned in the [[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]], it is rare to see Slaking dozing off while consuming the grass around it.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex entry]]: "It is the world's laziest Pokémon, spending all day lying down and lolling about. On very rare occasions you might even see a Slaking that dozed off while snacking on the grass around it."</ref>

In [[Generation III]], {{m|Slack Off}} was its [[signature move]]. Prior to [[Generation V]] and in [[Generation IX]], Slaking and its unevolved form, {{p|Slakoth}}, are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Truant}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===
Slaking evolves from {{p|Vigoroth}} and is the final form of {{p|Slakoth}}.

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

Slaking debuted in ''[[AG069|Love, Petalburg Style]]'', under the ownership of [[Norman]]. In [[AG070|the following episode]], [[Ash's Grovyle]] defeated it during a [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}, winning {{Ash}} the {{badge|Balance}}.

=====Other=====
Multiple Slaking appeared in ''[[AG179|Slaking Kong]]'', where they played a major role.

In ''[[XY126|Valuable Experience for All!]]'', [[Sawyer]] used a Slaking in the [[Lumiose Conference]], during which it defeated a Trainer's {{p|Medicham}}. In ''[[XY127|Analysis Versus Passion!]]'', it was used during Sawyer's [[Full Battle]] against {{Ash}}, where it defeated {{AP|Hawlucha}} before losing to {{AP|Talonflame}}.

A Slaking appeared in ''[[HZ090|Eyes to the Skies Once Again, Part 1]]'', having been affected by the [[Laquium]]. [[Roy]] and [[Ult]] battled it with their [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Roy|Lucario}} and {{p|Sableye}} before [[Captain Pikachu]] defeated it with {{m|Volt Tackle}}.

====Minor appearances====
A Slaking appeared in the opening sequence of ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''.

In ''[[BW134|The Journalist from Another Region!]]'', a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Slaking was entered in the [[Pokémon Sumo Tournament]] on [[Harvest Island]]. It was [[Ash's Pignite]]'s second opponent, and it lost due to not even trying to make an effort in the battle.

In ''[[JN095|The Good, The Bad, and The Lucky!]]'', [[James]] pulled a Slaking from the [[Rocket Prize Master]] that did absolutely nothing to help him.

===Ash & Pikachu===
{{main|Norman's Slaking}}
[[Norman]]'s Slaking appeared in ''[[SP25|I'll Win With My Own Battle Style!!]]''.

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Norman's Slaking}}
{{adv|Norman}}'s signature Pokémon is a {{TP|Norman|Slaking}}, who first appeared in ''[[PS186|Brushing Past Breloom]]''. Although it would seem that his {{a|Truant|Ability}} would be of a major hindrance, he shows that by having a {{p|Spinda}} tag alongside him and use {{m|Skill Swap}} in times of need, his impressive strength and speed would be wielded to their maximum. Additionally, the move {{m|Bulk Up}} allows him to bolster his stats even more.

{{adv|Emerald}} used a Slaking during his {{gdis|Battle Factory|III}} challenge in ''[[PS306|Pinsir Me, I Must Be Dreaming]]''. Thanks to {{m|Slack Off}}, it was able to outlast a {{p|Hitmonlee}} despite its type and speed disadvantages. After the battle, it was swapped with a {{p|Linoone}}.

The Battle Factory rented a Slaking, which was stolen by [[Guile Hideout]] in ''[[PS315|Skirting Around Surskit I]]''.

[[Spenser]] used a Slaking against the young boy in ''[[PS325|Standing in the Way with Starmie]]'', but their {{pkmn|battle}} was not seen.

A Slaking appeared in a flashback as one of the Pokémon trained by the [[International Police]] in ''[[PS528|Innocent Scientist]]''.

===Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire===
A Slaking appeared in ''[[PMRS17|Serious Bicycle Match!]]'', under the ownership of [[Rydel's rival]].

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

==In the TFG==
One Slaking figure has been released.
* {{TFG|Groundbreakers}}: {{TFG ID|Groundbreakers|Slaking|28}}

==Other appearances==
==={{DetPikMov}}===
Two Slaking appeared in {{DetPikMov}}.

==Trivia==
* Slaking has several similarities to {{p|Regigigas}}. They are both {{t|Normal}} types, have [[:Category:Abilities with negative effects|hindering]] {{Abilities}} ({{a|Truant}} and {{a|Slow Start}}), have the highest base {{stat|Attack}} stat of all {{type|Normal}} Pokémon, and have the same base stat totals.
* Slaking has the highest base stat total of any non-{{pkmn2|Mythical}}, {{pkmn2|Legendary}}, or [[Mega Evolution]].
* A {{DL|List of unused Pokémon and character designs|Godzillante & Gorillaimo|pre-alpha sketch}} from the development of [[Capsule Monsters]] depicts a Pokémon that bears a slight resemblance to Slaking.

===Origin===
Slaking appears to draw inspiration from {{wp|sloth}}s, more specifically the prehistoric giant ground sloths ''{{wp|Megatherium}}'' or ''{{wp|Eremotherium}}'' due to its large size. It also closely resembles a {{wp|great ape}}, such as a {{wp|gorilla}}, with the "-king" in both its Japanese and English names possibly alluding to {{wp|King Kong}}. It's lazy behavior is based on the concept of slakoth going from a sloth to being motivated, then deciding it wasn't worth it.<ref name=ND84>''Nintendo Dream'' Volume 84, February/March 2003 ([http://lavacutcontent.com/sugimori-masuda-gen-3-interview/ English translation] written by Jacob Newcomb and commissioned by Dr. Lava)</ref> It also has some similarities to human elders, due to its baldness, pink snout, and white fur on its head and around its neck and being less much less active than it's previous evolution.

====Name origin====
Slaking may be derived from ''slacking'', or a combination of ''slack'' and ''king''.

Kekking may be a combination of 欠勤 ''kekkin'' (absence from work) and ''king''.

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

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pikachu}} when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]]. It is the final form of {{p|Pichu}}.

In [[Alola]], Raichu has a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Psychic}} [[regional form]]. It evolves from Pikachu when exposed to a Thunder Stone. All Pikachu in Alola will evolve into this form regardless of their origin. It is the final form of Pichu in the Alola region.

Kantonian Raichu will be able to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Raichu X''' using the [[Raichunite X]] and '''Mega Raichu Y''' using the [[Raichunite Y]] in the upcoming [[Mega Dimension]] DLC for {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

==Biology==
Raichu is a bipedal, {{wp|rodent}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Even though it's classified as bipedal, Raichu usually get around on all fours. Raichu is covered in dark orange fur with a white belly. Its bifurcated ears are brown on the outside, yellow on the insides, and end in a distinctive curl. There is a circular yellow marking on each cheek where its electric sacs are, and it has a triangular, dark brown nose. Its arms and feet have patches of brown fur at the end, and the soles of its long feet are tan with a circular orange pad in the center. On its back are two horizontal brown stripes. Its long, thin tail has a lightning bolt-shaped end. The tip of this lightning bolt is chipped on females. Raichu exudes a weak electrical charge from its body and glows slightly in the dark.

Raichu's tail is used to gather electricity from the atmosphere, or it can be planted in the ground to search for electricity. It also protects Raichu from its high-voltage power. Raichu can store over 100,000 volts of electricity, enough to knock out a {{p|Copperajah}}. If Raichu's sacs are fully charged, its ears will stand straight up, and its muscles will become stimulated. However, it will become aggressive if it has stored too much electricity and stress. To prevent it from reaching this state, it discharges electricity through its tail into the ground. This leads to scorched patches near its nest. Being the result of [[Evolution]] via [[Evolution stone]], Raichu is rarely found in the wild, though they can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests and woodlands}}. Part of the reason why Raichu is rarely seen with [[Pokémon Trainer]]s is because people prefer the look it had as a {{p|Pikachu}}. As revealed in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'', Raichu is not capable of learning speed attacks upon evolving and can only learn them when they're still a Pikachu. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Raichu is known to sleep while discharging electricity, and a long tail is planted into the ground like a rod. It can electrocute anyone who comes near it while sleeping.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>

Raichu and its pre-evolved forms are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Volt Tackle}}.

===Forms===
Raichu has a [[regional form]]: {{rf|Alolan}} Raichu and two [[Mega Evolution]]s, Mega Raichu X and Mega Raichu Y.

;Alolan Raichu
In [[Alola]], Raichu has lighter coloring and more rounded features. Its eyes are blue with yellow half-circles along the bottom. It has large yellow ears with an inner spiral toward the base and brown on the inside. These ears are thicker and less pointed than a standard Raichu's ear. In addition to its white belly, {{rf|Alolan}} Raichu has white markings on its paws with bright yellow lines between its digits. The stripes on its back have also turned white, and there is a small, white circular marking on each heel. The lightning bolt-shaped tip of its tail has rounded edges. By collecting its psychic power in its tail, it can ride it like a {{wp|surfboard}} and float in the air. While its cheek sacs are still used to store electricity, rubbing them releases a sweet aroma while also getting a light shock. This is also thought to be connected to its Psychic abilities.

Alolan Raichu's origins were initially a mystery at the time. The people of Alola suggested it ate too many sweet and fluffy pancakes,<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/alolan-raichu/ Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon | Alolan Raichu] ([http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/alolan-raichu/ archived])</ref> especially those made with a secret Alolan recipe. However, researchers believe the change is related to Alolan Raichu's diet in general. It is also believed the weather and climate of the [[Alola]] region played a role in the transformation. Alolan Raichu is capable of unleashing star-shaped thunderbolts. It is also known by the name ''hodad''. While normally found in [[Alola]], it has been seen in the [[Coastal Biome]] of the [[Terarium]] during rare [[mass outbreak]] [[Poké Portal News|events]].

Alolan Raichu is the only known Pokémon capable of using the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Stoked Sparksurfer}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Surge Surfer}} as an [[Ability]].

;Mega Raichu X
As Mega Raichu X, it takes on a color scheme reminiscent of {{p|Pikachu}} with its red cheeks and bright yellow fur, but its overall appearance retains a distinctive resemblance to Kantonian Raichu.<ref name=ZAsite>(September 12, 2025). [https://legends.pokemon.com/en-gb/news/mega-dimension-hoopa The Mythical Pokémon Hoopa Holds the Key to the Story | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> Its original brown eyes have become red. Its tail has split into two identical tails, which are similar in shape to Pikachu's tail, except for the zig-zagging black fur coloration at the base of each tail. Both of its arms and ears are much larger. The yellow insides of its ears are gone, and its ears now sport a solid black color with golden tips. It also now has a noticeable fang-like left {{wp|canine tooth}}. When using electricity, its cheeks and its tails glow brightly. Its appearance while levitating resembles the letter X.

Mega Raichu X's tails generate electromagnetic force, creating enough repulsion for it to float and propel itself swiftly in the air. It focuses its electric power into its fists as its primary method of attack, allowing it to down much larger foes in one strike. It has ample subcutaneous fat which stores up electricity, augmenting its defenses and allowing it to maintain a high electrical output.<ref name=ZAsite/>
{{left clear}}

;Mega Raichu Y
As Mega Raichu Y, it takes on an appearance distinctly resembling Pikachu,<ref name=ZAsite/> but it retains its original color scheme as regular Raichu with its yellow cheeks and orange fur. Its original brown eyes have become blue, and the lightning bolt-shaped tip of its tail is enlarged. The patches of brown fur at the ends of its arms and feet are now gone, as well as the yellow insides of its ears, which now sport a solid orange color with black tips. A pair of horn-like yellow protrusions made of fur jut out of its ears, resembling a pair of lightning bolts. The ends of these "horns" have the distinctive curls found on the ears of regular Raichu. Additionally, Mega Raichu Y now has two prominent {{wp|Canine tooth|canines}}. When using electricity, its cheeks and horn-like fur glow brightly; in key artwork for [[Mega Dimension]], Mega Raichu Y's teeth are also shown glowing. Its appearance with its tail extended resembles the letter Y.

Mega Raichu Y can generate more powerful electricity in larger quantities using the sacs on its cheeks. When it does so, the energy is amplified, coursing in a zig-zag pattern between its tail and "horns". Amassing so much electricity gives Mega Raichu Y a wild and combative temperament, and it prefers a straightforward approach to battling as opposed to performing tactical maneuvers. This also because its greatest strength is its ability to unleash this energy instantaneously, making it excel in short, decisive battles.<ref name=ZAsite/>

===Evolution===
Raichu [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pikachu}} and is the final form of {{p|Pichu}}.

In [[Alola]], Raichu has a [[regional form]] that evolves from Pikachu and is the final form of Pichu in the Alola region.

An Alolan Raichu that knew the move {{m|Volt Tackle}} in [[Generation VII]] and transferred in via {{g|Bank}} and {{g|HOME}} can be retaught the move using the Pokémon HOME [[Pokémon_HOME#Move_Reminder|move reminder]] functionality. This is the only way for Alolan Raichu to know the move in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. An Alolan Raichu knowing the move is blocked from online trades and can not be used in [[Battle Stadium]].

===Main series===
====Major appearances====
=====[[Lt. Surge's Raichu]]=====
In ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'', [[Lt. Surge]] has a Raichu that defeated [[Ash's Pikachu]] with its sheer power during {{Ash}}'s [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}. After unsuccessfully discussing the prospect of [[Evolution]] with Pikachu to match Raichu's power, Ash used a strategy relying on Pikachu's speed to defeat Raichu during a [[rematch]] the next day.

=====[[Goh's Raichu]]=====
In ''[[JN035|Gotta Catch a'' ''What?!]]'', a female Pikachu that was newly {{pkmn2|caught}} by [[Goh]] evolved into Raichu by using a [[Thunder Stone]].

=====Other=====

==Trivia==

* No other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Alolan Raichu.
* In {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, there is a {{tc|Scientist}} at the [[Cinnabar Lab|Pokémon Lab]] in [[Cinnabar Island]] who will [[trade]] a Raichu for an {{p|Electrode}}. If the player talks to him after the trade, he will mention that the Raichu evolved, which is not possible. This mistake was due to the original translation of the script of the {{jpn|Pokémon Blue Version|Japanese Blue}} (in which this person traded a Graveler for a Kadabra) rather than that of {{game|Red and Green|s}}. This error was corrected in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, as the script was re-translated.
* Raichu's FireRed and {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Sun}} Pokédex entries discuss Raichu's electricity being able to knock out an {{wp|Indian elephant}}. In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, this is changed to {{p|Copperajah}}, which is based on the Indian elephant.
** This is also the only Pokédex entry in Legends: Arceus to mention a Pokémon not obtainable in [[Hisui]].
* Several Pokédex entries claim Raichu can discharge up to {{m|Thunderbolt|100,000 volts}}. However, its Stadium entry claims it can only discharge up to 10,000 volts. This is likely a translation error due to the way numbers are read in Japanese, where 100,000 literally reads "ten ten-thousands".
* Although {{p|Pikachu}} is the [[first partner Pokémon]] of {{game|Yellow}}, it is not possible to directly evolve it into Raichu in the game, and must be traded in from {{2v2|Red|Blue}}. This inability to evolve Pikachu is a reference to [[Ash's Pikachu]] in {{aniseries|PTS}}.
* Raichu and its pre-[[Evolution|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 Pokémon, though Rattata and Raticate were originally called the Rat Pokémon prior to [[Generation III]].
* Raichu is the 26th 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}}.
* Alolan Raichu is the only [[regional form]] Pokémon to have a [[Z-Move]] exclusive to it, that being {{m|Stoked Sparksurfer}}.
* Raichu is the most common Pokémon found amongst [[rival]]s, being used by five of them.
* Alolan Raichu is the only [[Alolan form]] available in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} that can only be obtained by transferring from other games, outside of [[Poké Portal News]] events.
* Raichu is the first Pokémon to have a [[Mega Evolution]] added through DLC expansion.
* Raichu and {{p|Slowbro}} are the only Pokémon to have both a Mega Evolution and a regional form.
* Raichu, between its regular and Alolan forms, is the only Pokémon to have access to both Mega Evolution and an exclusive [[Z-Move]].
* Raichu is the only Pokémon with two Mega Evolutions:
** Which were not released in {{g|X and Y}}.
** Which are not [[version-exclusive Pokémon]].
** Whose types do not change.
* Mega Raichu X and Mega Raichu Y were the last Mega Evolutions to be revealed in promotional trailers before the release of {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, along with the Mega Evolved forms of the fully evolved [[Kalos first partner Pokémon]].
** Mega Raichu X and Mega Raichu Y were the first Mega Evolutions to be revealed for the [[Mega Dimension]] DLC.
* The Raichu family is the only evolutionary family to have access to Mega Evolution, exclusive Z-Moves, and [[Gigantamax]].

===Concept and development===
Raichu and {{rf|Alolan}} Raichu were designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]].<ref name=USUM>"What It Takes to Create a Pokémon." Interview with Ken Sugimori in ''[[Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon Edition: The Official National Pokédex]]'', p. xxi</ref> The concept of Alolan Raichu came from [[Masafumi Nukita]], which also involved writing its [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]].<ref>https://archive.is/tS5lL</ref>

Raichu originally had an evolved form 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/ Page 3 of Yomiuri interview] with [[Ken Sugimori]], [[Kōji Nishino]], and [[Atsuko Nishida]] (Japanese)</ref><ref>''[https://www.siliconera.com/pikachu-originally-second-evolution-called-gorochu-large-fangs-two-horns/ Pikachu Originally Had A Second Evolution Called ‘Gorochu’ With Large Fangs And Two Horns]'' — SiliconEra</ref> [[Ken Sugimori]] stated that while there was nothing wrong with its appearance, it was nonetheless omitted from {{game|Red and Green|s}}, as the staff found that the game balance was better without it, and the limited game space meant that some Pokémon originally designed to evolve twice were changed to evolve only once.<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>

===Origin===
Raichu's legs and long tail resemble those of a {{wp|jerboa}} or {{wp|kangaroo rat}}.

{{rf|Alolan}} Raichu may be based on the concept of [[surfing Pikachu]] and the sport of {{wp|surfing}} itself, which originated in and is the state sport of {{wp|Hawaii}} (the inspiration for the [[Alola]] [[region]]), as well as the [[wiktionary:hodad|hodad]] concept of being a fake surfer; ''hodad'' is referred to as another name for Alolan Raichu in its [[Pokédex]] entry in {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Pokémon Ultra Sun}}. Its design and {{t|Psychic}} type may have been influenced by [[Puka]], a surfing Pikachu that appeared in {{aniseries|PTS}} which had psychic powers and blue eyes. In the {{g|Stadium series}}, {{pkmn|Colosseum}}, {{XD}}, and {{pkmn|Battle Revolution}}, Raichu rides on its tail when using the move {{m|Surf}}.

According to [[Ken Sugimori]], he asked [[Atsuko Nishida]] to design Alolan Raichu since she was the one who had worked on the original Raichu design. Nishida insisted that Raichu "has always been cuter than people might think", and designed Alolan Raichu to emphasize Raichu's cuteness; in particular, she designed it with the motif of {{wp|bread}}. The in-game lore of people believing that its [[Evolution]] is induced by eating pancakes was added afterward to play up the concept.<ref name=USUM/> The fact that Alolan Raichu was designed after bread may have also inspired the sweet fragrance it can release from its cheeks, as well as the look of its paws which resemble {{wp|whipped cream}} decorations, {{wp|cream puff}}s, or ''{{wp|baozi}}''.

Both Mega Raichu X and Mega Raichu Y resemble their assigned letters, and also seem to take elements from {{p|Pikachu}}'s design, such as its color and the shape of its body and tail. Mega Raichu X takes after regular Raichu, with its color scheme and tail shape potentially being inspired by Pikachu, while retaining the body shape of Raichu. Mega Raichu Y appears to be the inverse, with its body shape potentially being inspired by Pikachu,<ref>"It bears a distinctive resemblance to {{p|Pikachu}}." - [https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/news/mega-dimension-hoopa The Mythical Pokémon Hoopa Holds the Key to the Story] {{g|Legends: Z-A}} official website</ref> while retaining the colors and tail shape of Raichu. Old media has also portrayed Pikachu as having a circular spot on its belly, a feature that Raichu has in all its [[form]]s. They could also be inspired by the scrapped Gorochu species, as Gorochu was described as having fangs and two horns; both Mega-Evolved forms of Raichu have fangs, and Mega Raichu Y is mentioned to have horn-like fur.

====Name origin====
Raichu may be a combination of 雷 ''rai'' (thunder) and チューチュー ''chūchū'' (onomatopoeia for the squeak of a mouse).

'''Drampa''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ジジーロン''' ''Jijilong'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VII]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Drampa can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Drampa''' using the [[Drampanite]]. Mega Drampa was introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].

==Biology==
Drampa is a serpentine {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} similar to a {{wp|Chinese dragon}}. Most of its skin is bluish-green, but the lower half of its face and the underside of its neck is a pale green. There are three spots on each of its sides that are also light green. It has pink eyes with rounded, yellow eyebrows, short whiskers resembling a mustache, floppy ears, and a small, white beard with a circular extension. On top of its head is a mop of white hair split into four rounded sections: two draped down either side of its head. Fluffy white fur drapes the lower half of its body and conceals its arms when they are tucked against its chest. When its arms are spread, two short claws are revealed on each hand. It has a bushy white tail with a small, curved spike at the base.

This draconic Pokémon lives alone in the mountains 10,000 feet above sea level. The {{Berries}} it feeds on do not grow at this altitude, so it descends to the base of the mountains daily at dawn. Drampa is known to have a kind and compassionate personality. It loves communicating with people and Pokémon, and is especially gentle with children. It often appears in places where children gather, such as schools and parks. Mothers of the children never worry about Drampa playing with them, as Drampa is willing to protect children from any form of danger. Despite its gentle nature, it becomes enraged if a child it cares for is hurt, and can go as far as to burn the bully's house down if able.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20171021235955mp_/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/drampa/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Drampa]</ref>Drampa is known to stir up a gale of wind when angered, while flattening anything that gets in its way as Drampa rampages. During its rampage, Drampa's {{m|Dragon Breath}} attack is strong enough to demolish buildings. As seen in the {{aniseries|SM}} episode ''[[SM059|Tasting the Bitter with the Sweet!]]'' and [[New Pokémon Snap]], Drampa is capable of flying.

Prior to [[Generation VIII]], Drampa was the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Berserk}} as an [[Ability]].

=== Forms ===
Drampa can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Drampa.
[[File:Mega Drampa fur rising.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Mega Drampa's eyes glow, and its fur rises when it is enraged or attacking]]
As Mega Drampa, Drampa regains its youthful vigor, holding its long neck high above its body. Its white fur turn dark grey and become spikier. It now holds its claws out of its front fur, these claws are light grey and there are three per hand. At the back of its fur-covered body are swirling, lighter grey curls. Mega Drampa's expression turns angry and its beard elongates, turning the same shade of dark grey as its fur. It additionally gains two additional mustaches shaped like inverted horseshoe mustaches. Mega Drampa's hair perks into four curled spikes. When its mouth is open, Mega Drampa has four visible fangs.

Mega Drampa's cells are reinvigorated, reactivating its youth. It can manipulate the atmosphere to summon storms. Mega Drampa is constantly floating off the ground.

It reunited with them in the present day, when it also helped [[Harper and Sarah]], and it has since made further appearances in {{aniseries|SM}}.

===Minor appearances===

==In the TCG==
{{main|Drampa (TCG)}}
==Trivia==
* Drampa can be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Turtonator}}. Both are {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon with the same base stat total. They also share the same stat values, but with different distributions aside from {{stat|Speed}}. While Drampa is exclusive to [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Moon]], and [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Shield]], Turtonator is exclusive to Pokémon Sun, Ultra Sun, and Sword.
**These parallels were lessened, however, when Drampa received a [[Mega Evolution]] in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, while Turtonator lacks an alternate form of any kind.
* Drampa was designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/804500572967555072 Tweet by ありがひとし/ArigaHitoshi (@ariga_megamix).] Posted on December 2, 2016.</ref>
* Mega Drampa has the highest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of all {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.
* Drampa is the only Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VII]] that is capable of [[Mega Evolution]].
* Drampa and {{p|Feraligatr}} are the only Pokémon to have different [[Pokémon category|categories]] after Mega Evolving.

===Origin===
Drampa appears to be based on a {{wp|Chinese dragon}}, such as the {{wp|Zhulong (mythology)|Zhulong}} (torch dragon), a mythological creature with the face of an old man and the body of a {{wp|dragon}}. Its friendly and caring disposition towards children, elderly appearance, and name may be a reference to grandparents. Its behavior may also be based on Chinese dragons being benevolent creatures. Drampa's white fur resembles {{wp|cumulus cloud}}s.

Mega Drampa's fur becoming black resembles {{wp|cumulonimbus cloud|storm clouds}}, alluding to its capacity to summon them. This ability is typical of Chinese dragons, most specifically of {{wp|Shenlong}} (god dragon), who is called a master of rain.

====Name origin====
Drampa may be a combination of ''dragon'' and ''grampa'' (a variation on ''grandpa'').

Jijilong may be a combination of 爺 ''jijī'' (an informal term for an old man) and 龍 ''Lóng'' ({{wp|Chinese dragon}}).

'''Feraligatr''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''オーダイル''' ''Ordile'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Croconaw}} starting at [[level]] 30. It is the final form of {{p|Totodile}}.

Feraligatr can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Feraligatr''' using the [[Feraligite]]. Mega Feraligatr was introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].

==Biology==
[[File:Sleep Style 0160-1.png|thumb|left|200px|Feraligatr sleeps with one eye open]]
Feraligatr is a bulky, bipedal, {{wp|Crocodylia|crocodilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with blue scales. It has large, powerful jaws lined with several sharp fangs. Three teeth are visible when its jaws are closed: two in its lower jaw and one in its upper jaw. Its eyes are red with black markings around them and ridges above them and its lower jaw is yellow. There are three red spines on its body, each with three points: one on top of its head, one between its shoulders, and one near the tip of its tail. There are also several groups of large, rectangular scales on its arms, knees, tail, and waist. Its back is slightly hunched with ridges behind the shoulders and hips. On its lower body is a yellow, V-shaped marking that extends up to its thighs; there is a thin line through the center of the marking. Its arms have five clawed fingers each, and its feet three clawed toes.

Feraligatr opens its powerful jaws to intimidate its foes and viciously shakes its head once it clamps down on foes or prey. Because it has difficulty supporting its weight out of the water, it has been known to move on all fours. However, when hunting or fighting, it is agile and fast, due to its powerful hind legs. Feraligatr can rarely be found living near {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|the water's edge}}. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Feraligatr and its pre-Evolutions are known to sleep with one eye open and rest only half of its brain at a time — a practice known as {{wp|Unihemispheric slow-wave sleep|unihemispheric sleep}}. As Feraligatr sleeps, it constantly keeps watch on its surroundings; it will immediately charge towards threats should it sense any.

===Forms===
Feraligatr can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Feraligatr.

Mega Feraligatr's back spikes transform into an enormous, hood-like, dark red fin; this fin has serrated edges and two false eyes on either of its sides. The false eyes are red with black "sclerae" debossed into the surface; the centers of the false eyes glow white when Mega Feraligatr brings down its hood fin. Mega Feraligatr also gains stubby red arm-like fins on the sides of its body, a smaller back spike behind its hood fin, and two red ridge lines on either side of the back spike. Mega Feraligatr has three dark red spikes on each of its arms, covering its rectangular scales. The uncovered rectangular scales on Mega Feraligatr's shoulders and knees, along with its lower body and three-clawed toes, turn a blue-gray color. The V-shaped marking seen in regular Feraligatr is moved up slightly on Mega Feraligatr.

Mega Feraligatr uses its hood-like fin and arm spikes together to form a gigantic false jaw, by clasping its hands together as the "lower jaw" and bringing down its hood as the "upper jaw". This false jaw has a bite force that is ten times more powerful than Mega Feraligatr's actual jaws. When Mega Feraligatr closes its false jaw, its shape together with the arm-like fins on Mega Feraligatr's sides makes it resemble its pre-Evolution, {{p|Totodile}}.

* {{TFG|Next Quest}}: {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Feraligatr|2}}

==Trivia==
* Feraligatr reaches its final evolutionary form earlier than any other [[first partner Pokémon]], at level 30. However, {{p|Totodile}} evolves at level 18, the latest of any basic first partner Pokémon, tied with {{p|Turtwig}}.
* Feraligatr is the only fully evolved [[Johto]] first partner Pokémon to appear in [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]].
* Mega Feraligatr is tied with Hero Form {{p|Palafin}} for the highest base {{stat|Attack}} stat of all {{type|Water}} Pokémon.
* Feraligatr and {{p|Drampa}} are the only Pokémon to have different [[Pokémon category|categories]] after [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]].

===Origin===
Feraligatr appears to be based on a {{wp|crocodilia}}n. It visually resembles an {{wp|alligator}}. The yellow marking on its belly might be a reference to the yellow stripes on young {{wp|American alligator}}s. In {{g|Sleep}}, Feraligatr and its pre-Evolutions are revealed to sleep with one eye open, just like real-life crocodiles. The crest on Feraligatr's head is similar to the {{wp|mohawk hairstyle}} which may allude to Feraligatr's boisterous personality.

Mega Feraligatr's appearance when closing its external "jaw" is similar to that of its pre-Evolution {{p|Totodile}}. It also bears a resemblance to the Rex Genome of Kamen Rider Revi from ''{{wp|Kamen Rider Revice}}''.

====Name origin====
Feraligatr may be a combination of ''feral'' or ''ferocious'' and ''{{wp|alligator}}''. The shortening of "gator" into ''gatr'' may be a result of the ten-character limit on English Pokémon names in [[Generation II]].

Ordile may be a combination of 王 ''ō'' (king), 皇 ''ō'' (emperor), or 大 ''ō'' (large), and ''{{wp|crocodile}}''.

'''Drampa''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ジジーロン''' ''Jijilong'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VII]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Drampa can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Drampa''' using the [[Drampanite]]. Mega Drampa was introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].

==Biology==
Drampa is a serpentine {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} similar to a {{wp|Chinese dragon}}. Most of its skin is bluish-green, but the lower half of its face and the underside of its neck is a pale green. There are three spots on each of its sides that are also light green. It has pink eyes with rounded, yellow eyebrows, short whiskers resembling a mustache, floppy ears, and a small, white beard with a circular extension. On top of its head is a mop of white hair split into four rounded sections: two draped down either side of its head. Fluffy white fur drapes the lower half of its body and conceals its arms when they are tucked against its chest. When its arms are spread, two short claws are revealed on each hand. It has a bushy white tail with a small, curved spike at the base.

This draconic Pokémon lives alone in the mountains 10,000 feet above sea level. The {{Berries}} it feeds on do not grow at this altitude, so it descends to the base of the mountains daily at dawn. Drampa is known to have a kind and compassionate personality. It loves communicating with people and Pokémon, and is especially gentle with children. It often appears in places where children gather, such as schools and parks. Mothers of the children never worry about Drampa playing with them, as Drampa is willing to protect children from any form of danger. Despite its gentle nature, it becomes enraged if a child it cares for is hurt, and can go as far as to burn the bully's house down if able.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20171021235955mp_/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/drampa/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Drampa]</ref>Drampa is known to stir up a gale of wind when angered, while flattening anything that gets in its way as Drampa rampages. During its rampage, Drampa's {{m|Dragon Breath}} attack is strong enough to demolish buildings. As seen in the {{aniseries|SM}} episode ''[[SM059|Tasting the Bitter with the Sweet!]]'' and [[New Pokémon Snap]], Drampa is capable of flying.

Prior to [[Generation VIII]], Drampa was the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Berserk}} as an [[Ability]].

=== Forms ===
Drampa can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Drampa.

As Mega Drampa, Drampa regains its youthful vigor, holding its long neck high above its body. Its white fur turn dark grey and become spikier. It now holds its claws out of its front fur, these claws are light grey and there are three per hand. At the back of its fur-covered body are swirling, lighter grey curls. Mega Drampa's expression turns angry and its beard elongates, turning the same shade of dark grey as its fur. It additionally gains two additional mustaches shaped like inverted horseshoe mustaches. Mega Drampa's hair perks into four curled spikes. When its mouth is open, Mega Drampa has four visible fangs.

Mega Drampa's cells are reinvigorated, reactivating its youth. It can manipulate the atmosphere to summon storms.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Drampa (TCG)}}
==Trivia==
* Drampa can be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Turtonator}}. Both are {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon with the same base stat total. They also share the same stat values, but with different distributions aside from {{stat|Speed}}. While Drampa is exclusive to [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Moon]], and [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Shield]], Turtonator is exclusive to Pokémon Sun, Ultra Sun, and Sword.
**These parallels were lessened, however, when Drampa received a [[Mega Evolution]] in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, while Turtonator lacks an alternate form of any kind.
* Drampa was designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/804500572967555072 Tweet by ありがひとし/ArigaHitoshi (@ariga_megamix).] Posted on December 2, 2016.</ref>
* Mega Drampa has the highest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of all {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.
* Drampa is the only Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VII]] that is capable of [[Mega Evolution]].
* Drampa and {{p|Feraligatr}} are the only Pokémon to have different [[Pokémon category|categories]] after Mega Evolving.

===Origin===
Drampa appears to be based on a {{wp|Chinese dragon}}, such as the {{wp|Zhulong (mythology)|Zhulong}} (torch dragon), a mythological creature with the face of an old man and the body of a {{wp|dragon}}. Its friendly and caring disposition towards children, elderly appearance, and name may be a reference to grandparents. Its behavior may also be based on Chinese dragons being benevolent creatures. The white fur on the lower half of its body resembles {{wp|cumulus cloud}}s. This makes Drampa resemble a Chinese dragon flying through clouds.

Mega Drampa's fur becoming black resembles storm clouds, alluding to its capacity to summon them. This ability is typical of Chinese dragons, most specifically of {{wp|Shenlong}} (god dragon), who is called a master of rain.

====Name origin====
Drampa may be a combination of ''dragon'' and ''grampa'' (a variation on ''grandpa'').

Jijilong may be a combination of 爺 ''jijī'' (an informal term for an old man) and 龍 ''Lóng'' ({{wp|Chinese dragon}}).

'''Drampa''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ジジーロン''' ''Jijilong'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VII]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Drampa can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Drampa''' using the [[Drampanite]]. Mega Drampa was introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].

==Biology==
Drampa is a serpentine {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} similar to a {{wp|Chinese dragon}}. Most of its skin is bluish-green, but the lower half of its face and the underside of its neck is a pale green. There are three spots on each of its sides that are also light green. It has pink eyes with rounded, yellow eyebrows, short whiskers resembling a mustache, floppy ears, and a small, white beard with a circular extension. On top of its head is a mop of white hair split into four rounded sections: two draped down either side of its head. Fluffy white fur drapes the lower half of its body and conceals its arms when they are tucked against its chest. When its arms are spread, two short claws are revealed on each hand. It has a bushy white tail with a small, curved spike at the base.

This draconic Pokémon lives alone in the mountains 10,000 feet above sea level. The {{Berries}} it feeds on do not grow at this altitude, so it descends to the base of the mountains daily at dawn. Drampa is known to have a kind and compassionate personality. It loves communicating with people and Pokémon, and is especially gentle with children. It often appears in places where children gather, such as schools and parks. Mothers of the children never worry about Drampa playing with them, as Drampa is willing to protect children from any form of danger. Despite its gentle nature, it becomes enraged if a child it cares for is hurt, and can go as far as to burn the bully's house down if able.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20171021235955mp_/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/drampa/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Drampa]</ref>Drampa is known to stir up a gale of wind when angered, while flattening anything that gets in its way as Drampa rampages. During its rampage, Drampa's {{m|Dragon Breath}} attack is strong enough to demolish buildings. As seen in the {{aniseries|SM}} episode ''[[SM059|Tasting the Bitter with the Sweet!]]'' and [[New Pokémon Snap]], Drampa is capable of flying.

Prior to [[Generation VIII]], Drampa was the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Berserk}} as an [[Ability]].

As Mega Drampa, Drampa regains its youthful vigor, holding its long neck high above its body. Its white fur turn dark grey and become spikier. It now holds its claws out of its front fur, these claws are light grey and there are three per hand. At the back of its fur-covered body are swirling, lighter grey curls. Mega Drampa's expression turns angry and its beard elongates, turning the same shade of dark grey as its fur. It additionally gains two additional mustaches shaped like inverted horseshoe mustaches. Mega Drampa's hair perks into four curled spikes.

Mega Drampa's cells are reinvigorated, reactivating its youth. It can manipulate the atmosphere to summon storms.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Drampa (TCG)}}
==Trivia==
* Drampa can be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Turtonator}}. Both are {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon with the same base stat total. They also share the same stat values, but with different distributions aside from {{stat|Speed}}. While Drampa is exclusive to [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Moon]], and [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Shield]], Turtonator is exclusive to Pokémon Sun, Ultra Sun, and Sword.
**These parallels were lessened, however, when Drampa received a [[Mega Evolution]] in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, while Turtonator lacks an alternate form of any kind.
* Drampa was designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/804500572967555072 Tweet by ありがひとし/ArigaHitoshi (@ariga_megamix).] Posted on December 2, 2016.</ref>
* Mega Drampa has the highest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of all {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.
* Drampa is the only Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VII]] that is capable of [[Mega Evolution]].
* Drampa and {{p|Feraligatr}} are the only Pokémon to have different [[Pokémon category|categories]] after Mega Evolving.

===Origin===
Drampa appears to be based on a {{wp|Chinese dragon}}, such as the {{wp|Zhulong (mythology)|Zhulong}} (torch dragon), a mythological creature with the face of an old man and the body of a {{wp|dragon}}. Its friendly and caring disposition towards children, elderly appearance, and name may be a reference to grandparents. Its behavior may also be based on Chinese dragons being benevolent creatures. The white fur on the lower half of its body resembles {{wp|cumulus cloud}}s. This makes Drampa resemble a Chinese dragon flying through clouds.

Mega Drampa's fur becoming black resembles storm clouds, alluding to its capacity to summon them. This ability is typical of Chinese dragons, most specifically of {{wp|Shenlong}} (god dragon), who is called a master of rain.

====Name origin====
Drampa may be a combination of ''dragon'' and ''grampa'' (a variation on ''grandpa'').

Jijilong may be a combination of 爺 ''jijī'' (an informal term for an old man) and 龍 ''Lóng'' ({{wp|Chinese dragon}}).

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

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pikachu}} when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]]. It is the final form of {{p|Pichu}}.

In [[Alola]], Raichu has a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Psychic}} [[regional form]]. It evolves from Pikachu when exposed to a Thunder Stone. All Pikachu in Alola will evolve into this form regardless of their origin. It is the final form of Pichu in the Alola region.

Raichu will be able to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Raichu X''' using the [[Raichunite X]] and '''Mega Raichu Y''' using the [[Raichunite Y]] in the [[Mega Dimension]] DLC for the upcoming {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

==Biology==
Raichu is a bipedal, {{wp|rodent}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Even though it's classified as bipedal, Raichu usually get around on all fours. Raichu is covered in dark orange fur with a white belly. Its bifurcated ears are brown on the outside, yellow on the insides, and end in a distinctive curl. There is a circular yellow marking on each cheek where its electric sacs are, and it has a triangular, dark brown nose. Its arms and feet have patches of brown fur at the end, and the soles of its long feet are tan with a circular orange pad in the center. On its back are two horizontal brown stripes. Its long, thin tail has a lightning bolt-shaped end. This lightning bolt is chipped on females. Raichu exudes a weak electrical charge from its body and glows slightly in the dark.

Raichu's tail is used to gather electricity from the atmosphere, or it can be planted in the ground to search for electricity. It also protects Raichu from its high-voltage power. Raichu can store over 100,000 volts of electricity, enough to knock out a {{p|Copperajah}}. If Raichu's sacs are fully charged, its ears will stand straight up, and its muscles will become stimulated. However, it will become aggressive if it has stored too much electricity and stress. To prevent it from reaching this state, it discharges electricity through its tail into the ground. This leads to scorched patches near its nest. Being the result of Evolution via [[Evolution stone]], Raichu is rarely found in the wild, though they can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests and woodlands}}. The main reason Raichu is rarely seen with Pokémon trainers is because people prefer the look it had as {{p|Pikachu}}. As revealed in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'', Raichu is not capable of learning speed attacks upon evolving and can only learn them when they're still Pikachu. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Raichu is known to sleep while discharging electricity, and a long tail is planted into the ground like a rod. It can electrocute anyone who comes near it while sleeping.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>

Raichu and its pre-evolved forms are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Volt Tackle}}.

===Forms===
Raichu has a [[regional form]]: {{rf|Alolan}} Raichu and two [[Mega Evolution]]s, Mega Raichu X and Mega Raichu Y.

;Alolan Raichu
In [[Alola]], Raichu has lighter coloring and more rounded features. Its eyes are blue with yellow half-circles along the bottom. It has large yellow ears with an inner spiral toward the base and brown on the inside. These ears are thicker and less pointed than a standard Raichu's ear. In addition to its white belly, {{rf|Alolan}} Raichu has white markings on its paws with bright yellow lines between its digits. The stripes on its back have also turned white, and there is a small, white circular marking on each heel. The lightning bolt-shaped tip of its tail has rounded edges. By collecting its psychic power in its tail, it can ride it like a {{wp|surfboard}} and float in the air. While its cheek sacs are still used to store electricity, rubbing them releases a sweet aroma while also getting a light shock. This is also thought to be connected to its Psychic abilities.

Alolan Raichu's origins were initially a mystery at the time. The people of Alola suggested it ate too many sweet and fluffy pancakes,<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/alolan-raichu/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Alolan Raichu]</ref> especially those made with a secret Alolan recipe. However, researchers believe the change is related to Alolan Raichu's diet in general. It is also believed the weather and climate of the [[Alola]] region played a role in the transformation. Alolan Raichu is capable of unleashing star-shaped thunderbolts. It is also known by the name ''hodad''. While normally found in [[Alola]], it has been seen in the [[Coastal Biome]] of the [[Terarium]] during rare [[mass outbreak]] [[Poké Portal News|events]].

Alolan Raichu is the only known Pokémon capable of using the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Stoked Sparksurfer}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Surge Surfer}} as an [[Ability]].

;Mega Raichu X

As Mega Raichu X, it takes on a color scheme reminiscent of {{p|Pikachu}} with its red cheeks and brighter yellow fur, but its overall appearance retains a distinctive resemblance to Kantonian Raichu.<ref name=ZAsite>(September 12, 2025). [https://legends.pokemon.com/en-gb/news/mega-dimension-hoopa The Mythical Pokémon Hoopa Holds the Key to the Story] — Pokémon Official Website</ref> Its original brown eyes have become red. Its tail has split into two identical tails, which are similar in shape to Pikachu's tail, except for the zig-zagging black fur coloration at the base of each tail. Both of its arms and ears are much larger. The yellow insides of its ears are gone, and its ears now sport a solid black color with golden tips. When using electricity, its cheeks and its tails glow brightly. Its appearance while levitating resembles the letter X.

Mega Raichu X's tails generate electromagnetic force, creating enough repulsion for it to float and propel itself swiftly in the air. It focuses its electric power into its fists as its primary method of attack, allowing it to down much larger foes in one strike. It has ample subcutaneous fat which stores up electricity, augmenting its defenses and allowing it to maintain a high electrical output.<ref name=ZAsite/>

;Mega Raichu Y

As Mega Raichu Y, it takes on an appearance distinctly resembling Pikachu,<ref name=ZAsite/> but it retains its original color scheme as regular Raichu with its yellow cheeks and orange fur. Its original brown eyes have become blue. The lightning bolt-shaped tip of its tail is enlarged. The patches of brown fur at the ends of its arms and feet are now gone. The yellow insides of its ears are gone, and its ears now sport a solid orange color with black tips. A pair of horn-like yellow protrusions made of fur juts out of its ears, resembling a pair of lightning bolts. The ends of these "horns" have the distinctive curls found on the ears of regular Raichu. When using electricity, its cheeks and horn-like fur glow brightly. Its appearance with its tail extended resembles the letter Y.

Mega Raichu Y can generate even more and even stronger electricity in the sacs on its cheeks. When it does so, the energy is amplified, coursing in a zig-zag pattern between its tail and "horns". Amassing so much electricity gives Mega Raichu Y a wild and combative temperament, and it prefers a straightforward approach to battling as opposed to performing tactical maneuvers. This also because its greatest strength is its ability to unleash this energy instantaneously, making it excel in short, decisive battles.<ref name=ZAsite/>

==Trivia==

* No other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Alolan Raichu.
* In {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, there is a {{tc|Scientist}} at the [[Cinnabar Lab|Pokémon Lab]] in [[Cinnabar Island]] who will [[trade]] a Raichu for an {{p|Electrode}}. If the player talks to him after the trade, he will mention that the Raichu evolved, which is not possible. This mistake was due to the original translation of the script of the {{jpn|Pokémon Blue Version|Japanese Blue}} (in which this person traded a Graveler for a Kadabra) rather than that of {{game|Red and Green|s}}. This error was corrected in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, as the script was re-translated.
* Raichu's FireRed and Sun Pokédex entries discuss Raichu's electricity being able to knock out an Indian elephant. In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, this is changed to {{p|Copperajah}}, which is based on the Indian elephant.
** This is also the only Pokédex entry in Legends: Arceus to mention a Pokémon not obtainable in [[Hisui]].
* Several Pokédex entries claim Raichu can discharge up to {{m|Thunderbolt|100,000 volts}}. However, its Stadium entry claims it can only discharge up to 10,000 volts. This is likely a translation error due to the way numbers are read in Japanese, where 100,000 literally reads "ten ten-thousands".
* Although {{p|Pikachu}} is the [[first partner Pokémon]] of {{game|Yellow}}, it is not possible to directly evolve it into Raichu in the game, and must be traded in from {{2v2|Red|Blue}}. This inability to evolve Pikachu is a reference to [[Ash's Pikachu]] in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]''.
* Raichu and its pre-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 Pokémon, though Rattata and Raticate were originally called the Rat Pokémon prior to [[Generation III]].
* Raichu is the 26th 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}}.
* Alolan Raichu is the only regional form Pokémon to have a {{m|Stoked Sparksurfer|Z-Move}} exclusive to it.
* Raichu is the most common Pokémon found amongst [[rival]]s, being used by five of them.
* Alolan Raichu is the only [[Alolan form]] available in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} that can only be obtained by transferring from other games, outside of [[Poké Portal News]] events.
* Raichu is the first Pokémon to have a [[Mega Evolution]] added through DLC expansion.
* Raichu and {{p|Slowbro}} are the only Pokémon to have both a Mega Evolution and a regional form.
* Raichu, between its Kantonian and [[Alolan form]]s, is the only Pokémon to have access to Mega Evolution and an exclusive [[Z-Move]].
* Raichu is the only Pokémon with two Mega Evolutions:
** To not have them released in {{g|X and Y}}.
** To not have them be [[version-exclusive Pokémon]].
** Whose types are the same across the three forms.
* Mega Raichu X and Mega Raichu Y were the last Mega Evolutions to be revealed in promotional trailers before the release of {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, along with the Mega-Evolved forms of the fully evolved [[Kalos first partner Pokémon]].

===Concept and development===
Raichu and {{rf|Alolan}} Raichu were designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]].<ref name=USUM>"What It Takes to Create a Pokémon." Interview with Ken Sugimori in ''[[Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon Edition: The Official National Pokédex]]'', p. xxi</ref> The concept of Alolan Raichu came from [[Masafumi Nukita]], which also involved writing its [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]].<ref>https://archive.is/tS5lL</ref>

Raichu originally had an evolved form 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/ Page 3 of Yomiuri interview] with [[Ken Sugimori]], [[Kōji Nishino]], and [[Atsuko Nishida]] (Japanese)</ref><ref>''[https://www.siliconera.com/pikachu-originally-second-evolution-called-gorochu-large-fangs-two-horns/ Pikachu Originally Had A Second Evolution Called ‘Gorochu’ With Large Fangs And Two Horns]'' — SiliconEra</ref> [[Ken Sugimori]] stated that while there was nothing wrong with its appearance, it was nonetheless omitted from {{game|Red and Green|s}}, as the staff found that the game balance was better without it, and the limited game space meant that some Pokémon originally designed to evolve twice were changed to evolve only once.<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>

===Origin===
Raichu's legs and long tail resemble those of a {{wp|jerboa}} or {{wp|kangaroo rat}}.

{{rf|Alolan}} Raichu may be based on the concept of [[surfing Pikachu]] and the sport of {{wp|surfing}} itself, which originated in Hawaii (the inspiration for the [[Alola]] [[region]]), as well as the [[wiktionary:hodad|hodad]] concept of being a fake surfer; ''hodad'' is referred to as another name for Alolan Raichu in its [[Pokédex]] entry in {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Pokémon Ultra Sun}}. Its design and {{t|Psychic}} typing may have been influenced by [[Puka]], a surfing Pikachu that appeared in {{aniseries|PTS}} which had psychic powers and blue eyes. In the {{g|Stadium series}}, {{pkmn|Colosseum}}, {{XD}}, and {{pkmn|Battle Revolution}}, Raichu rides on its tail when using the move {{m|Surf}}.

According to [[Ken Sugimori]], he asked [[Atsuko Nishida]] to design Alolan Raichu since she was the one who had worked on the original Raichu design. Nishida insisted that Raichu "has always been cuter than people might think", and designed Alolan Raichu to emphasize Raichu's cuteness; in particular, she designed it with the motif of {{wp|bread}}. The in-game lore of people believing that its Evolution is induced by eating pancakes was added afterward to play up the concept.<ref name=USUM/> The fact that Alolan Raichu was designed after bread may have also inspired the sweet fragrance it can release from its cheeks, as well as the look of its paws which resemble {{wp|whipped cream}} decorations, {{wp|cream puff}}s, or ''{{wp|baozi}}''.

Both Mega Raichu X and Mega Raichu Y seem to be modeled after their assigned letters and also takes elements from {{p|Pikachu}}'s design, such as color, body shape, and tail shape. Since they also have fangs, and with Mega Raichu Y being described as having horn-like fur, they could also be inspired by the scrapped Gorochu species.

====Name origin====
Raichu may be a combination of 雷 ''rai'' (thunder) and チューチュー ''chūchū'' (onomatopoeia for the squeak of a mouse).

'''Floatzel''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フローゼル''' ''Floazel'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Buizel}} starting at [[level]] 26.

==Biology==
Floatzel is an orange {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling an anthropomorphic otter or weasel with longer arms than legs. It has four fingers on each hand and three toes on each foot. Its feet are small in comparison to the rest of the body. It has two pointed blue fins on its arms; two aligned, backward-swept, pointed fins on its head; and two tails, which can spin like a propeller in a similar way to its pre-Evolution's. It has cream colorations on its forehead, eyelids, muzzle, belly, and the tips of its forelimbs and tails. It also has one cream, slightly protruding, oval-shaped spot on its back if it is female, and two of these spots if it is male. There is an orange teardrop shape near the bottom of its belly, and a pattern of two black triangles on the edges of its muzzle. It has small, sharp canine teeth, the top two of which can be seen when its mouth is closed.

Floatzel has a yellow flotation sac, which seems to behave similar to rubber. The flotation sac goes in a kind of ring behind its head, down in front of its arms, then back behind its rear above the tails. Floatzel's sac developed as a result of chasing prey in the water. To help it dive, Floatzel can deflate its flotation sac, and then inflate it once again when it wishes to surface. Floatzel's sac allows it to not drown, even in stormy seas. Along with hunting for food, Floatzel can use its swimming capabilities to assist in the rescues of drowning people, by carrying them like a raft. It is often seen near fishing hamlets.

===Evolution===
Floatzel evolves from {{p|Buizel}}.

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

==In animation==
[[File:Captain Floatzel.png|thumb|250px|Floatzel in {{aniseries|HZ}}]]
===Main series===
====Major appearances====
Floatzel debuted in ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! (Part 1)]]'', where [[Kellyn]] used his [[Capture Styler]] on it so he could use it to escape from a group of {{p|Sharpedo}} that belonged to [[J's henchmen]].

In ''[[DP083|A Crasher Course in Power!]]'', [[Crasher Wake]] used a male Floatzel during his [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} against {{Ash}}. After battling hard against {{AP|Pikachu}}, Floatzel then went up against {{AP|Buizel}}, whom he lost to after a close-range {{m|Water Pulse}}. He knows many different defensive techniques to guard himself against attacks, such as inflating the flotation sac around his body and blocking with his fin. He reappeared briefly in flashbacks in ''[[DP178|For The Love Of Meowth]]'' and ''[[DP180|League Unleashed!]]''; and during the ending credits of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'', where he was seen alongside his Trainer.

In ''[[DP174|Last Call — First Round!]]'', {{si|Kenny}} used a male Floatzel in the [[Appeal|Performance Stage]] of the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] along with {{TP|Kenny|Empoleon}}. Their [[Double Performance]] was going well until Empoleon's {{m|Flash Cannon}} sent Floatzel flying backwards. In ''[[DP180|Four Roads Diverged in a Pokémon Port!]]'', he and Kenny were given advice by [[Jasmine]] before being targeted by {{TRT}}.

====Minor appearances====
In ''[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team!]]'', the [[Pokémon Summer Academy]] lent a Floatzel to [[Conway]] for use in the second leg of the [[Pokémon Triathlon]].

In ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'', a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Floatzel competed in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]].

Two Floatzel appeared in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''.

A Trainer's Floatzel appeared in ''[[JN090|Showdown at the Gates of Warp!]]''.

A Floatzel appeared in ''[[HZ031|Song Within the Mist]]'', under the ownership of a {{OBP|Captain|HZ031}}.

====Pokédex entries====
{{Animedexheader|Sinnoh}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Wake Floatzel Adventures.png|thumb|100px|Floatzel in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
In ''[[PS348|A Big Stink Over Stunky]]'', a Floatzel is first seen acting as the motor jet for [[Professor Rowan]] and his assistant ({{adv|Platinum}}'s [[Mr. Berlitz|father]]) as they arrived in [[Canalave City]].

In ''[[PS364|A Skuffle with Skorupi]]'', [[Crasher Wake]] is seen with a Floatzel, which he used to battle [[Platinum's Empoleon]], but after a close battle, lost. A few volumes later, under Wake's command, {{adv|Pearl}} attempted to catch one himself, but failed to do so and resorted to catching the weaker {{p|Buizel}}.

Multiple Floatzel appeared in ''[[PS401|Besting Buizel I]]''.

Two Floatzel appeared in a flashback in ''[[PS440|The Final Dimensional Duel X]]''.

A Floatzel appeared in a flashback as one of the Pokémon trained by the [[International Police]] in ''[[PS528|Innocent Scientist]]''.

{{main|Floatzel (TCG)}}

==Trivia==

===Origin===
Floatzel may be based on a {{wp|weasel}} and {{wp|sea otter}} combined with various flotation devices such as {{wp|inflatable armbands}}, a {{wp|life jacket}}, and a {{wp|Lifeboat (shipboard)#Liferaft versus lifeboat|life raft}}. Floatzel's two tails can rotate like a screw, similar to how boats use {{wp|propeller}}s that push away water to move forward.

====Name origin====
Floatzel and Floazel may be combinations of ''float'' and ''{{wp|weasel}}'', as well as ''flotsam'' (property or debris from a shipwreck that float in the sea).

'''Buizel''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ブイゼル''' ''Buoysel'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Floatzel}} starting at [[level]] 26.

==Biology==
[[File:Flying Buizel.png|thumb|left|250px|Buizel flying using its tail in ''[[DP011|Mounting a Coordinator Assault]]'']]
Buizel is an orange {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling a weasel and a sea otter. It has a yellow collar around its neck and two blue fins on its arms. Buizel has a cream-colored spot above each eye and two black parallel marks on its cheeks. The underside of its face and stomach are also cream-colored, as are the tips of its two tails. A male Buizel has two cream-colored spots on their back, while a female has only one.

Buizel's yellow collar is a flotation sac that can be inflated when it inhales. By doing so, Buizel can keep its face above water to watch for prey movement or survey its surroundings. Conversely, it deflates this sac in order to dive. Its tails can spin to act as a propeller, allowing it to swim and slice through obstacles like seaweed. In the {{aniseries|DP}} episode ''[[DP011|Mounting a Coordinator Assault!]]'', it is also shown to be able to fly using its spinning tail. Buizel usually lives alongside bodies of water.

===Evolution===
Buizel evolves into {{p|Floatzel}}.

'''Monferno''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''モウカザル''' ''Moukazaru'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Chimchar}} starting at [[level]] 14 and evolves into {{p|Infernape}} starting at level 36.

==Biology==
Monferno is a bipedal, primate-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Orange fur covers most of its body, except for its ears, muzzle, fingers, circular areas on its palms, feet, and chest, which are tan. A small tuft of fur extends from the top of Monferno's head, and it has oval, brown eyes. Its eyes have a thick blue marking above and a small, red marking in-between. Its muzzle is short and blunt, with two small, pointed teeth in its upper jaw. There is a white ruff of fur around its neck and gold bands around its arms near its shoulders. It has five fingers on each hand, but only three toes on each foot. Its long tail has a red ring around the base and a flame burning at the tip.

The flame on Monferno's tail has several purposes. Primarily, it can be controlled to keep opponents at an ideal distance or stretched in order to make Monferno appear larger. The size of its flame, in combination with the brightness of its facial marking, indicates this Pokémon's position in its pack. The bigger the flame and the brighter the pattern, the higher the Pokémon's position. In addition to using its flaming tail as a weapon, Monferno can also leap from ceilings or walls to perform aerial attacks.

===Evolution===
Monferno evolves from {{p|Chimchar}} and evolves into {{p|Infernape}}.

==Trivia==
* Monferno shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Pancham}}. They are both known as the Playful Pokémon.
* Monferno and its evolutionary relatives were designed by [[Takao Unno]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/TakaoUnno/status/386157379563188224 Tweet by @TakaoUnno.] Posted on Oct 4, 2013.</ref>

===Origin===
Monferno may be based on a {{wp|monkey}}, possibly a {{wp|golden snub-nosed monkey}} or a {{wp|mandrill}} with some elements of a {{wp|chimpanzee}} in particular. It also appears to be a direct impression of the {{wp|Monkey Kung Fu}}, a type of martial arts, which could explain its {{t|Fighting}} type.

====Name origin====
Monferno may be a combination of ''{{wp|monkey}}'' and ''inferno''.

Moukazaru may be a combination of 猛火 ''mōka'' (roaring flames) and 猿 ''saru'' (monkey).

'''Monferno''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''モウカザル''' ''Moukazaru'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Chimchar}} starting at [[level]] 14 and evolves into {{p|Infernape}} starting at level 36.

==Biology==
Monferno is a bipedal, primate-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Orange fur covers most of its body, except for its ears, muzzle, fingers, circular areas on its palms, feet, and chest, which are tan. A small tuft of fur extends from the top of Monferno's head, and it has oval, brown eyes. Its eyes have a thick blue marking above and a small, red marking in-between. Its muzzle is short and blunt, with two small, pointed teeth in its upper jaw. There is a white ruff of fur around its neck and gold bands around its arms near its shoulders. It has five fingers on each hand, but only three toes on each foot. Its long tail has a red ring around the base and a flame burning at the tip.

The flame on Monferno's tail has several purposes. Primarily, it can be controlled to keep opponents at an ideal distance or stretched in order to make Monferno appear larger. The size of its flame, in combination with the brightness of its facial marking, indicates this Pokémon's position in its pack. The bigger the flame and the brighter the pattern, the higher the Pokémon's position. In addition to using its flaming tail as a weapon, Monferno can also leap from ceilings or walls to perform aerial attacks.

===Evolution===
Monferno evolves from {{p|Chimchar}} and evolves into {{p|Infernape}}.

==Trivia==
* Monferno shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Pancham}}. They are both known as the Playful Pokémon.
* Monferno and its evolutionary relatives were designed by [[Takao Unno]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/TakaoUnno/status/386157379563188224 Tweet by @TakaoUnno.] Posted on Oct 4, 2013.</ref>

===Origin===
Monferno may be based on a {{wp|monkey}}, possibly a {{wp|golden snub-nosed monkey}} or a {{wp|mandrill}} with elements of a {{wp|chimpanzee}} in particular. It also appears to be a direct impression of the {{wp|Monkey Kung Fu}}, a type of martial arts, which could explain its {{t|Fighting}} type.

====Name origin====
Monferno may be a combination of ''{{wp|monkey}}'' and ''inferno''.

Moukazaru may be a combination of 猛火 ''mōka'' (roaring flames) and 猿 ''saru'' (monkey).

'''Monferno''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''モウカザル''' ''Moukazaru'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Chimchar}} starting at [[level]] 14 and evolves into {{p|Infernape}} starting at level 36.

==Biology==
Monferno is a bipedal, primate-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Orange fur covers most of its body, except for its ears, muzzle, fingers, circular areas on its palms, feet, and chest, which are tan. A small tuft of fur extends from the top of Monferno's head, and it has oval, brown eyes. Its eyes have a thick blue marking above and a small, red marking in-between. Its muzzle is short and blunt, with two small, pointed teeth in its upper jaw. There is a white ruff of fur around its neck and gold bands around its arms near its shoulders. It has five fingers on each hand, but only three toes on each foot. Its long tail has a red ring around the base and a flame burning at the tip.

The flame on Monferno's tail has several purposes. Primarily, it can be controlled to keep opponents at an ideal distance or stretched in order to make Monferno appear larger. The size of its flame, in combination with the brightness of its facial marking, indicates this Pokémon's position in its pack. The bigger the flame and the brighter the pattern, the higher the Pokémon's position. In addition to using its flaming tail as a weapon, Monferno can also leap from ceilings or walls to perform aerial attacks.

===Evolution===
Monferno evolves from {{p|Chimchar}} and evolves into {{p|Infernape}}.

==Trivia==
* Monferno shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Pancham}}. They are both known as the Playful Pokémon.
* Monferno and its evolutionary relatives were designed by [[Takao Unno]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/TakaoUnno/status/386157379563188224 Tweet by @TakaoUnno.] Posted on Oct 4, 2013.</ref>

===Origin===
Monferno may be based on a {{wp|monkey}}, possibly a {{wp|golden snub-nosed monkey}} or a {{wp|mandrill}} in particular with elements of a {{wp|chimpanzee}}. It also appears to be a direct impression of the {{wp|Monkey Kung Fu}}, a type of martial arts, which could explain its {{t|Fighting}} type.

====Name origin====
Monferno may be a combination of ''{{wp|monkey}}'' and ''inferno''.

Moukazaru may be a combination of 猛火 ''mōka'' (roaring flames) and 猿 ''saru'' (monkey).

'''Monferno''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''モウカザル''' ''Moukazaru'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Chimchar}} starting at [[level]] 14 and evolves into {{p|Infernape}} starting at level 36.

==Biology==
Monferno is a bipedal, primate-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Orange fur covers most of its body, except for its ears, muzzle, fingers, circular areas on its palms, feet, and chest, which are tan. A small tuft of fur extends from the top of Monferno's head, and it has oval, brown eyes. Its eyes have a thick blue marking above and a small, red marking in-between. Its muzzle is short and blunt, with two small, pointed teeth in its upper jaw. There is a white ruff of fur around its neck and gold bands around its arms near its shoulders. It has five fingers on each hand, but only three toes on each foot. Its long tail has a red ring around the base and a flame burning at the tip.

The flame on Monferno's tail has several purposes. Primarily, it can be controlled to keep opponents at an ideal distance or stretched in order to make Monferno appear larger. The size of its flame, in combination with the brightness of its facial marking, indicates this Pokémon's position in its pack. The bigger the flame and the brighter the pattern, the higher the Pokémon's position. In addition to using its flaming tail as a weapon, Monferno can also leap from ceilings or walls to perform aerial attacks.

===Evolution===
Monferno evolves from {{p|Chimchar}} and evolves into {{p|Infernape}}.

==Trivia==
* Monferno shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Pancham}}. They are both known as the Playful Pokémon.
* Monferno and its evolutionary relatives were designed by [[Takao Unno]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/TakaoUnno/status/386157379563188224 Tweet by @TakaoUnno.] Posted on Oct 4, 2013.</ref>

===Origin===
Monferno may be based on a monkey, possibly a {{wp|golden snub-nosed monkey}} or a {{wp|mandrill}} in particular. It also appears to be a direct impression of the {{wp|Monkey Kung Fu}}, a type of martial arts, which could explain its {{t|Fighting}} type.

====Name origin====
Monferno may be a combination of ''{{wp|monkey}}'' and ''inferno''.

Moukazaru may be a combination of 猛火 ''mōka'' (roaring flames) and 猿 ''saru'' (monkey).

'''Wooloo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ウールー''' ''Wooluu'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Dubwool}} starting at [[level]] 24.

==Biology==
[[File:WoolooCrownZenith121.jpg|thumb|left|150px|A rolling Wooloo]]
Wooloo is a black {{wp|sheep|ovine}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a thick coat of white wool that makes it look spherical. Its small head pokes out of the front of the wool, along with two short horns. Wooloo's eyes have yellow sclerae, black irises, and white, horizontal pupils. Two large ears are visible behind gray strings of wool that resemble braided pigtails. Wooloo's wool covers its entire body and most of its short hooved legs, along with a tail that is barely visible on its rear end.

Wooloo's fleece is extremely fluffy and can serve as a cushion, allowing it to survive even a fall from a cliff without any injuries. Its fur grows continuously, being able to fully grow back in just three months after it is completely shaved. The fur is a specialty product in [[Galar]], being used for clothing and carpets; the clothing made from Wooloo's wool has a remarkable strength. If Wooloo's fur grows too long, it will be unable to move. Wooloo live in herds and are known to mimic the actions of their herd leader or Trainer. They have a friendly disposition and dislike conflict, and can escape from enemies by simply rolling away.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/wooloo/ Wooloo | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref> {{p|Yamper}} is used to herd Wooloo.

==Trivia==
[[File:Company Icon Daily Discovery.png|thumb|150px|Icon of Daily Discovery]]
* The company logo for [[Poké Job|Daily Discovery]] depicts a silhouette of a lock of hair from Wooloo.

===Origin===
Wooloo is based on a {{wp|sheep}},<ref name=InsideGamer/> perhaps specifically black-faced breeds of domestic sheep. The shape of its wool resembles a {{wp|Cotton pad|cotton ball}}. The grey hair on the sides of its head appear to be stylized in form of {{wp|braid}}s.

In an interview with Inside.Gamer, {{g|Sword and Shield}} director [[Shigeru Ohmori]] mentioned that one challenge present when designing Wooloo is the existence of {{p|Mareep}}, another Pokémon designed after sheep.<ref name=InsideGamer>O., Jack (2019). "[https://inside.gamer.nl/in-gesprek-met-ohmori-en-masuda-over-pokemon-sword-en-shield/ In gesprek met Ohmori en Masuda over Pokémon Sword en Shield]." ''Inside.Gamer.nl'' (Dutch)</ref>

====Name origin====
Wooloo may be a combination of ''wool'' and ''{{wp|loom}}''. It may also be derived from the Japanese name.

Wooluu may be derived from ウール ''ūru'' (wool) with the final vowel elongated.

'''Mareep''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メリープ''' ''Merriep'') is an {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Flaaffy}} starting at [[level]] 15, which evolves into {{p|Ampharos}} starting at [[level]] 30.

==Biology==
[[File:Sugimori Mareep AG.jpg|thumb|left|250px|''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' reference sheet]]
Mareep is an {{wp|sheep|ovine}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with fluffy cream-colored wool covering its entire body, as well as a curly tuft of wool in the middle of its head. Its head is blue, and it has small brown eyes. Its four feet are blue and have two digits on each foot, and it appears to be on tiptoe at all times. Its conical ears and tail have a yellow-and-black striped pattern. Mareep has an orange sphere at the end of its tail, which acts like a small light bulb. This sphere glows brighter the more electricity and heat it has.

Mareep's wool grows continuously and stores electricity, rubbing together and building a static charge. Its volume increases when it builds up with electricity. Touching the wool when it is charged will result in a static shock. During the summer, the fleece is shed, but it grows back in a week. Air is also stored in its fur, which allows it to stay cool during summer and warm during winter. It tends to avoid {{pkmn|battle}}s in the wild and has a mild disposition. Mareep is most often found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grassy fields}}, though it can also be found in farms where its wool is used to make high-quality clothing. Clothing made from Mareep's wool builds up static electricity easily, and as such, a special process has to be used on it. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Mareep is known to roll over in its sleep.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>

===Evolution===
Mareep evolves into {{p|Flaaffy}}, which evolves into {{p|Ampharos}}.

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

==Trivia==
===Origin===
Mareep is based on a {{wp|sheep}}.<ref name=InsideGamer>O., Jack (2019). "[https://inside.gamer.nl/in-gesprek-met-ohmori-en-masuda-over-pokemon-sword-en-shield/ In gesprek met Ohmori en Masuda over Pokémon Sword en Shield]." ''Inside.Gamer.nl'' (Dutch)</ref> Its yellowish wool might be inspired by the {{wp|Golden Fleece}} in {{wp|Greek mythology|Greek}} and {{wp|Roman mythology}}. It is also likely that its {{t|Electric}} type is a reference to how wool is able to build up static charges. Mareep and its evolved forms may also have been based on the title of the sci-fi novel ''{{wp|Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?}}''.

====Name origin====
Mareep may be a combination of ''Mary'' (from the nursery rhyme "{{wp|Mary Had a Little Lamb}}") and ''{{wp|sheep}}''. ''Mareep'' is also an anagram of ''{{wp|ampere}}'', a unit of electric current.

Merriep may be a combination of ''merry'', メー ''mē'' (the sound made by sheep), or ''Mary'' and ''sheep''.

'''Tentacruel''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ドククラゲ''' ''Dokukurage'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Tentacool}} starting at [[level]] 30.

It is [[Ecologically similar Pokémon|ecologically similar]] to {{p|Toedscruel}}; however, the two are separate species.

==Biology==
[[File:Tentacruel orbs.png|thumb|left|250px|Tentacruel's orbs glowing]]
Tentacruel is a large, {{wp|cnidarian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has a clear, light blue body with two large, red orbs on either side and a smaller orb in the center. Its eyes are visible in its round lower body, which is black. Extending from its lower body are two blue, beak-like appendages and numerous grayish tentacles. Its red orbs glow whenever it is excited or agitated, communicating with its own kind, and it may alert others to danger by stridently flashing them. They are also capable of refracting sunlight, storing energy, and firing ultrasonic waves.

Tentacruel's primarily light blue body helps it camouflage in the water. It has a total of eighty tentacles, which it can readily extend during hunts to ensnare its prey in a net-like shape before immobilizing it with poison. The tentacles can grow or shrink with ease. Its tentacles can absorb water to stretch even further. Most of these tentacles are hidden and kept short, leaving up to fourteen exposed. However, it tends to lose tentacles as it ages. While Tentacruel are rarely seen, they can gather in large groups which scares away any nearby fish Pokémon. Tentacruel lives in underwater rock formations and can be found throughout the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon|ocean}}.

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Tentacruel was originally known as "Manowar", after the {{wp|Portuguese man o' war}}.
* Tentacruel, {{p|Toedscruel}}, and their respective evolutionary lines have exactly the same base stats in the same distribution.
* Tentacruel's {{type|Water}} is strong against Toedscruel's {{type|Ground}}, but weak to its {{type|Grass}}. Similarly, Tentacruel's {{type|Poison}} is strong against Toedscruel's Grass-type, but weak to its Ground-type.
* Even though many of Tentacruel's Pokédex entries mention it having 80 tentacles, it is never shown to have that many, with its main artwork only showing up to 14 tentacles.
===Origin===
Tentacruel may take inspiration from the {{wp|jellyfish}} and the {{wp|Portuguese man o' war}}, as evidenced by its {{pkmn|category}} and prototype English name, respectively. It also shares some characteristics of a {{wp|squid}}. Additionally, Tentacruel resembles several varieties of the {{wp|bug-eyed monster}} and other alien invaders from 1950s {{wp|B movie|B-movies}}, which is reflected in its ability to fire lasers from the gems on its head and the shape of its body resembling a {{wp|flying saucer}}.

====Name origin====
Tentacruel may be a combination of ''{{wp|tentacle}}'' and ''cruel''.

Dokukurage may be a combination of 毒 ''doku'' (poison) and 水母 ''kurage'' ({{wp|jellyfish}}).

'''Incineroar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ガオガエン''' ''Gaogaen'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Torracat}} starting at [[level]] 34. It is the final form of {{p|Litten}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Incineroar SM concept art.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Concept art of Incineroar for {{g|Sun and Moon}}]]
Incineroar is a {{wp|humanoid}} {{wp|feline}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a muscular build. It has a short snout with a small red nose, bright green eyes with yellow sclerae, and tiny, pointed ears. Large tufts of red fur extend from its cheeks, and much of its face is also red. The upper half of its muzzle and the top and back of its head are black. A thin red stripe runs vertically along its head to its snout, where it splits into a V-shape over its eyes. Its torso is gray with several black stripes and seems to resemble a wrestler's tank top; the front and back both have a single vertical stripe up the center, crossed by two horizontal lines. Around Incineroar's waist is a belt formed from flames that somewhat resembles a championship wrestling belt. In the front center is a small, yellow flame shape. The arms, legs, and tail are all red with black stripes forming bands around them. The arms have three stripes, spiky tufts of black fur over the shoulders, and large five-fingered hands with white claws and a single light red pad on the palm. Its legs have only two stripes and simple three-toed paws, and the tail has one stripe and a tuft of spiky black fur around the tip.

Incineroar's flame belt is produced from within its body and bursts from its navel and waist as its fighting spirit rises. In addition to spewing fire from its navel, it uses ferocious kicks and punches. Incineroar is an expert on no-holds-barred battles. The flames from its navel can reach a temperature of up to 3,600 degrees Fahrenheit. This Pokémon disregards the safety of its opponents and on-lookers, sometimes striking the opposing Trainer with attacks. Incineroar usually attacks first by unleashing both ferocious punches and flinging furious kick combos and then finishing the opponent by spewing fire from its navel. It is a violent Pokémon with rough, aggressive, and egotistical behavior. It will sometimes ignore its Trainer's orders when it is not in the mood to listen. Despite this, it finds fighting unworthy opponents boring and gets motivated to fight a challenging one. Weak or injured opponents also cause them to lose the desire to fight, which others sometimes use to their advantage.

It also values the attention of the crowd as Incineroar's spirit goes up while the crowd is excited or falters when the crowd is bored. When Incineroar's fighting spirit rises, so does the temperature around its navel waist. While it tends to act like a {{wp|heel (professional wrestling)|heel}}, Incineroar is very happy internally when receiving the admiration of children or young Pokémon.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20170718173730/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/incineroar/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site (archived page) | Incineroar]</ref> It is also willing to help out children and small Pokémon, further showing its hidden soft side.

In [[Generation VII]], {{m|Darkest Lariat}} was its signature move.

Incineroar is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Malicious Moonsault}}.

===Evolution===
Incineroar evolves from {{p|Torracat}} and is the final form of {{p|Litten}}.

{{main|Incineroar (Super Smash Bros.)}}

Incineroar debuted in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as a new fighter.

It also has a move called 'Alolan Whip', which is not based on any preexisting move.

==Trivia==
* Official confidential art featuring {{p|Decidueye}}, Incineroar, {{p|Primarina}}, and [[Mallow]] was leaked on the Internet on June 4, 2016. This leak happened 145 days before these Pokémon were officially revealed on October 27, 2016.<ref name="leakedart">[http://66.media.tumblr.com/0250e03bd66ab9ca99dc62e78ecf5d7b/tumblr_o8adnyxaSF1qhkgqso1_540.jpg Official confidential art of Decidueye, Incineroar, and Primarina | Game Freak]</ref> From the leaked material, it is known that Incineroar's code name was "トラ 3", or "Tiger 3" during development.
* Incineroar is the only evolved form of a [[first partner Pokémon]] to have a lower [[base stats|base stat]] than its pre-evolved forms. Its base {{stat|Speed}} stat is 30 points lower than {{p|Torracat}}'s and 10 points lower than {{p|Litten}}'s.
* {{SSB|Incineroar}} is the only [[Generation VII]] Pokémon to be playable in the [[Super Smash Bros. series]], though many others appear from {{i|Poké Ball}}s.

===Origin===
Incineroar is based on a {{wp|tiger}}.<ref name=leakedart/> It also shares elements with a {{wp|professional wrestling|professional wrestler}}. In addition, its [[Pokémon category|category]] and secondary {{t|Dark}} type bring to mind a {{wp|Heel (professional wrestling)|heel}}, a wrestler who embodies {{wp|vice}}, in contrast to a {{wp|Face (professional wrestling)|face}}, who embodies {{wp|virtue}}. It also has traits of {{wp|domestic cat}}s. Its shiny form maybe based on a {{wp|white tiger}}.

====Name origin====
Incineroar is a combination of ''incinerate'' and ''roar''.

Gaogaen may be a combination of ガオー ''gao'' (the sound of a roar) and 火炎 ''kaen'' (flame).

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

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

It is [[Ecologically similar Pokémon|ecologically similar]] to {{p|Toedscool}}; however, the two are separate species.

==Biology==
[[File:Tentacool possession.png|thumb|250px|left|Tentacool possessing a {{MTR}}]]
Tentacool is a small, {{wp|cnidarian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has a light blue, clear body with two large, transparent, red, crystalline eyes on each side of its body and one small one in the middle. Near the base of its body is a pointed, beak-like projection and two eyes with small pupils. There are two grayish tentacles extending from beneath its round lower body, which has a cape-like formation on the back.

Tentacool's entire body is made of 99% water, and the remaining 1% contains the organ that produces its poison. It absorbs sunlight and refracts it using the water inside its body to convert it into beam energy. Its tentacles are laced with stinging cells and, as seen in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP019|Tentacool & Tentacruel]]'', it can control Pokémon it touches with its tentacles. The tentacles break off occasionally, but they can regenerate. The poison from its tentacles is so potent, that someone would need to be immediately rushed to the hospital. Tentacool is not a very strong swimmer, traveling throughout the world using {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon|ocean}} currents. Tentacool searches for food while drifting on the surface of shallow seas. Tentacool can blend in the water, making it very difficult to spot. It will sometimes wash ashore and shrivel up due to dehydration, though it remains equally as dangerous. Tentacool may be revived if thrown back into the sea.

Tentacool is mistakenly believed to be a species relative of {{p|Toedscool}}; in actuality, the two Pokémon are biologically unrelated.

===Evolution===
Tentacool evolves into {{p|Tentacruel}}.

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

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Tentacool was originally known as "Jilly".
* Tentacool, {{p|Toedscool}}, and their respective evolutionary lines have exactly the same base stats in the same distribution.
* Tentacool's {{type|Water}} is strong against Toedscool's {{type|Ground}}, but weak to its {{type|Grass}}. Similarly, Tentacool's {{type|Poison}} is strong against Toedscool's Grass-type, but weak to its Ground-type.

===Origin===
Tentacool seems to be based on a {{wp|jellyfish}}, possibly a species of {{wp|box jellyfish}} such as ''{{wp|Chironex fleckeri}}'' or ''{{wp|Carukia barnesi}}''. The fact that it has only two tentacles may be based on the ''{{wp|Tentaculata}}'' class of {{wp|comb jellies}}, most of which are known for having a pair of long tentacles that are used to catch prey. It also shares some characteristics of a {{wp|squid}}.

Tentacool also resembles several varieties of the {{wp|bug-eyed monster}} and other alien invaders from 1950s {{wp|B movie|B-movies}}, which is reflected in its ability to fire lasers from the gems on its head.

====Name origin====
Tentacool may be a combination of ''{{wp|tentacle}}'' and ''cool''. It may also involve ''{{wp|Tentaculata}}'' (class of comb jellies).

Menokurage may be a combination of 目の敵 ''me no kataki'' (enemy) or 目の毒 ''me no doku'' (temptation, literally "poison to the eye") and 水母 ''kurage'' ({{wp|jellyfish}}).
