The '''Pokémon Trivia Quiz''' (Japanese: '''ポケモントリビアクイズ''' ''Pokémon Trivia Quiz'') is a segment featured at the end of some {{aniseries|AG|''Advanced Generation''}} episodes in Japan. The segment, for the most part, replaced [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Lecture]]. However, {{an|Professor Oak|Oak}} held special lectures about the [[Grand Festival]], the [[Hoenn League]], and upcoming {{pkmn|movie}}s during this time, as well as an ordinary lecture about a {{p|Beautifly}}. The segment debuted in [[AG105]] and ended in [[AG192]], and was succeeded by [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia]].

The segment consists of minigames, one for each episode in which Pokémon Trivia Quiz is featured in, about the animated series and individual Pokémon species. Before the series format change accompanying [[AG146]], the quizzes focused exclusively on questions that are quite difficult to understand without basic knowledge of the Japanese language and Japanese Pokémon names, involving plays on words. Afterward, various other types of quizzes were featured as well.

The hosts for the segment rotated among {{Ash}}, {{an|Brock}}, {{an|May}}, [[Max]], and Oak. {{p|Psyduck}} and {{p|Pikachu}} appeared in the background, while {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}} cheered the viewer on.

==Types of Pokémon Trivia Quizzes==
Various kinds of puzzles were featured on this segment and each one had its own set of rules.

'''Professor Sycamore''' (Japanese: '''プラターヌ博士''' ''Dr. Platane'') is a recurring character in {{aniseries|PTS}}. He is a [[Pokémon Professor]] from [[Lumiose City]].

==History==
==={{aniseries|XY}}===
Professor Sycamore debuted in ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'', when {{Ash}}, {{an|Clemont}} and {{an|Bonnie}} brought an injured {{AP|Froakie}} to him. Sycamore treated Froakie while explaining that he used to be owned by Trainers but had severe behavioral problems which caused him to either abandon or be abandoned by his past Trainers. Sycamore also explained that his area of research was [[Mega Evolution]], and {{p|Garchomp}} was the Pokémon he was researching since she was capable of achieving it.

After {{TRT}}'s failed attempt to steal Froakie caused Garchomp to go berserk, Sycamore joined Ash in his attempt to calm her down but was forced to simply watch from the bottom of [[Lumiose Gym|Prism Tower]]. After the situation had been resolved, he thanked Ash by giving him a new Kalos Pokédex and allowing him to take Froakie, who had bonded with the Trainer, with him.

In ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]'', Sycamore met {{an|Serena}} as she arrived to pick her first partner Pokémon.

In ''[[XY010|Mega-Mega Meowth Madness!]]'', Sycamore met up with Ash, Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie when they returned to Lumiose City. Later, he was captured by {{TRT}}, who sought for his knowledge about Mega Evolution. Serena and Bonnie were also captured when they tried to help the Professor. The three were rescued by Ash, {{AP|Pikachu}}, Clemont, and a {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}} from Sycamore's lab, but Team Rocket activated their newest mecha, which chased them across a forest. After Ash and Clemont unsuccessfully tried to defeat the mecha with Pikachu and Chespin, the group was saved by [[Meyer|Blaziken Mask]] and his {{p|Blaziken}}, who destroyed the mecha, and Team Rocket was then sent blasting off by Ash and Clemont. At the end of the episode, Sycamore allowed Clemont to capture Chespin when it wanted to travel with the group.

He appeared in a flashback in ''[[XYS01|Mega Evolution Special I]]'', which depicted [[Alain]]'s past job as his aide.

In ''[[XY028|The Bonds of Evolution!]]'', Sycamore met up with [[Diantha]] regarding Mega Evolution. He attempted to charm her secretary, [[Kathi Lee]], when she interrupted, only to be hit with a book. Later, he filmed Ash's battle with Diantha and {{p|Gardevoir}} Mega Evolving against Team Rocket.

[[File:Sycamore Lab staff.png|thumb|left|250px|Professor Sycamore with his assistants]]
In ''[[XY039|Summer of Discovery!]]'', it was revealed that Sycamore invited Ash and {{ashfr}} to participate in his annual [[Pokémon Summer Camp]]. It was also revealed he was the one who gave {{an|Tierno}}, {{an|Shauna}}, and {{an|Trevor}} their first partner Pokémon. He, along with his assistants, appeared throughout the event to officiate activities and announce winners.

In ''[[XYS03|Mega Evolution Special III]]'', Sycamore saw a TV report that showed Alain fighting [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Groudon}}, Primal {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Kyogre}}, and [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Rayquaza}} and was shocked to see him there.

In ''[[XY068|Garchomp's Mega Bond!]]'', Ash and his friends visited Sycamore before leaving [[Lumiose City]]. He showed the group a special machine that could determine which Pokémon could Mega Evolve with a certain Mega Stone, and found out the Mega Stone was [[Garchompite]]. However, Team Rocket stole the Garchompite, along with a Key Stone and the professor's Garchomp. But before they successfully Mega Evolve Garchomp, Professor Sycamore Mega Evolves his Garchomp for the first time with the help of [[Meyer|Blaziken Mask]].

In ''[[XY080|Performing with Fiery Charm!]]'', Sycamore watched Serena competing in the [[Dendemille Town]] [[Pokémon Showcase]] along with his lab assistants [[Sophie]] and [[Cosette]].

[[File:Sycamore casual clothes.png|thumb|250px|Professor Sycamore in casual clothing]]
In ''[[XY092|Cloudy Fate, Bright Future!]]'', Sycamore arrived in [[Anistar City]] to research the origins of the mysterious Anistar Sundial, which is said to have a connection with Mega Evolution. He was interrupted by {{OBP|Carrie|XY092}}, who mistakenly accuses Sycamore of being the cause of a looming crisis that [[Olympia]] predicted. In the [[XY093|next episode]], Professor Sycamore watched Ash's Gym Battle against Olympia. After Ash's win, he discussed with Olympia about her visions of the future.

In ''[[XY112|Master Class is in Session!]]'' and ''[[XY113|Performing a Pathway to the Future!]]'', Sycamore was watching Serena's performance in the [[Gloire City]] Master Class Pokémon Showcase alongside his assistants.

In ''[[XY125|A League of His Own!]]'', Sycamore reunited with Alain at the [[Lumiose Conference]] and tried to shake his hand, but Alain walked away. He then later appeared in the Conferences' stadium and was shocked to see that Alain could Mega Evolve his Charizard.

In ''[[XY127|Analysis Versus Passion!]]'', Sycamore first watched the battle between Alain and [[Remo]] and expressed concern over Alain's cold attitude. He and Diantha also commented on the battle between Ash and [[Sawyer]]. He continued to watch the battle in the [[XY128|next episode]].

In ''[[XY129|Kalos League Passion with a Certain Flare!]]'', Sycamore walked up to Ash and his friends, who were having a conversation while sitting in seats inside a Pokémon Center at the Lumiose Conference, and spoke to Mairin about Alain, letting Ash and his other friends in on the fact that Mairin and Alain knew each other. Alain later talked to the group about [[Ash's Greninja]] and it's Ash-Greninja form. At night, Professor Sycamore talked to Alain as he was talking to his Charizard. He was later seen watching, along with Diantha, as Ash and Alain each walked towards their respective sides of the battlefield in the Lumiose Conference's stadium, for the final round of the Conference.

In ''[[XY130|Finals Not for the Faint-Hearted!]]'' and ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', Sycamore watched the battle between Alain and Ash.

In ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'', Sycamore saved [[Mairin]] from a {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}, who tried to take her under [[Lysandre]]'s orders. Sycamore then battled the Grunt's {{p|Skorupi}} with his Garchomp and escaped with Mairin by taking advantage of the explosion caused by Garchomp countering Skorupi's {{m|Poison Sting}} with {{m|Dragon Claw}}.

[[File:Sycamore no lab coat.png|thumb|left|250px|Without his lab coat on]]
In ''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]'', Sycamore countered [[Aliana]]'s {{p|Druddigon}}'s {{m|Dark Pulse}} with an attack from his Mega Garchomp. He later joined Serena and Mairin on their mission to rescue [[Chespie]] from [[Lysandre Labs]], with the assistance of Team Rocket who commandeered a helicopter in order to travel to the laboratories.

In ''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'', Sycamore continued the mission from the previous episode. In ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'', Sycamore battled with his Garchomp alongside [[Steven Stone]]; and in ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', he battled alongside all the [[Gym Leader]]s of Kalos, Diantha, Ash, and Alain against the [[Giant Rock]].

In ''[[XY137|Battling With a Clean Slate!]]'', Sycamore drove Alain to his laboratory, for the surprise party which Ash and his friends were setting up. He later joined the party and after it finished, he gave out some medals to Ash and his friends and their Pokémon, for their assistance in fighting against [[Team Flare]].

In ''[[XY138|The First Day of the Rest of Your Life!]]'', Sycamore talked to Serena about putting on a {{pkmn|Showcase}} performance for the citizens of [[Lumiose City]] and later introduced the performance.
[[File:Mairin and Professor Sycamore.png|thumb|250px|Professor Sycamore with Mairin in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'']]
In ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]'', Sycamore told Ash and his friends that Alain was now going on a journey, along with Mairin, to find a new Key Stone and Mega Stone, due to the fact that he discarded his old ones because Lysandre gave them to him. Sycamore also noted that the Anistar Sundial is providing locations to Mega Stones throughout the region. He later talked to them again while in the middle of presenting a {{tc|Youngster}} with the choice of choosing from one of the three Kalos [[first partner Pokémon]].

In ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'', Sycamore and [[Alexa]] investigated some newly discovered ruins, which continued the statue of a petrified [[Aila]].

==={{aniseries|JN}}===
In ''[[JN115|Curtain Up! Fight the Fights!]]'', Professor Sycamore and Mairin watched Alain's [[World Coronation Series]] match against {{an|Leon}}. When Alain lost, Professor Sycamore comforted Mairin.

In ''[[JN129|A Flood of Torrential Gains!]]'', Professor Sycamore watched Ash's match against Leon alongside Alain and Mairin.

==Character==
Professor Sycamore is a helpful man, who often aids others when the need arises. Also, despite the situations, Sycamore remains calm, yet determined to finish the task, especially if it improves the Pokémon's relationship with its (possible) Trainer. Like Clemont, Professor Sycamore is a fan of new innovations and gadgets.

Friede grew up somewhere in the [[Kanto]] [[region]] with his childhood friend [[Orla]] and had {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} as his [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]]. After Orla moved to [[Slateport City]] in the [[Hoenn]] region, Friede finished growing up in Kanto and was taught by [[Lucca]]. He came to know the [[Roy's grandfather|elder]] on an [[Roy's hometown|island]] in Kanto as he looked after him. Also, Friede met [[Ludlow]] and came to see him as a mentor. Friede eventually became a [[Pokémon Professor]], after quitting his job at [[Exceed]] because he didn't want to be cooped up in a lab and lost the passion for researching, and began to live the carefree life with Ludlow on his [[fishing]] boat.

As revealed in ''[[HZ018|Flying Pikachu, Rising Higher and Higher!]]'', Friede was in the [[Paldea]] region with Ludlow when Lucca introduced him to a [[Flying Pikachu]], reigniting his passion for research. Friede eventually managed to convince Pikachu to become partners with him and traveled to Hoenn, where he had Orla convert Ludlow's fishing boat into an airship, which Friede named the [[Brave Olivine]]. Once the job was done, Orla and Ludlow joined Friede as the founding members of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]], with [[Captain Pikachu|Pikachu]] serving as the airship's figurehead captain.

Later, Friede met [[Murdock]], [[Wy-Yes]], and [[Mollie]] as they joined the Rising Volt Tacklers. Sometime after Wy-Yes left to become a journalist, Friede met Murdock's niece, [[Dot]], as he asked her for help in making an app for the team, which she accepted and joined the team. One day, Friede was contacted by Lucca as she asked him to bring her daughter [[Liko]], who was attending [[Indigo Academy]] in Kanto, to Paldea and protect her during the journey there.

====''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''====
[[File:Friede and Amethio rivalry.png|250px|thumb|Friede's rivalry with Amethio]]
Friede debuted in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]''. He was first seen coming to Liko's rescue on his Charizard's back after she was confronted by [[Amethio]]. His Charizard went up against [[Amethio's Ceruledge]], but the confrontation ended abruptly after they witnessed the power Liko's mysterious pendant held. After rescuing her and {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} from falling in [[HZ002|the next episode]], Friede flew her back to the [[Brave Olivine]] and introduced them to the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers. The [[Explorers]] soon attacked the ship, and Friede challenged Amethio to a battle, this time using [[Captain Pikachu]] against Amethio's Ceruledge, only for the battle to be cut short by Liko. After Liko's Sprigatito unleashed a {{m|Leafage}} strong enough to break the forcefield around the battlefield, Friede and Liko watched powerlessly as the Explorers fled, kidnapping Sprigatito in the process.

In ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'', Friede and some of the Rising Volt Tacklers got together to search for Liko's Sprigatito. When [[Murdock]]'s {{p|Rockruff}} found [[Onia]] shopping, Friede and Liko chased her back to a warehouse. There, he clashed against Amethio once again; this time, however, as a distraction to allow for Liko and Rockruff to be able to rescue Sprigatito. After they succeeded, Friede and Liko made their escape. At the end of the day, Friede confirmed that Liko's mother asked the group to protect Liko—something he had briefly mentioned earlier—and they decide to team up to uncover the mysteries surrounding Liko's pendant.

In ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', Friede spotted a familiar island off the coast of Kanto and docked the Brave Olivine for maintenance to be done on the airship. In order to gather materials, he sought the alder, but left empty-handed. In the [[HZ005|next]] [[HZ006|episodes]], Friede confronted Amethio once again on the island's shore. He managed to stall the Explorers's admin with Charizard, but got distracted for a moment, allowing his opponent to launch an assault on Liko, whose pendant activated at the right time to protect her. As the battle went on, Liko's pendant and Roy's [[Ancient Poké Ball]] reacted to each other's presence. Suddenly, a [[Black Rayquaza]] was released from the Poké Ball and quickly forced the Explorers to retreat with a {{m|Draco Meteor}} shower.

In ''[[HZ007|Special Training with Cap!]]'', Friede set up a special training session for Liko and Roy after being moved by their determination to get stronger. For the newly-recruited Rising Volt Tacklers to win, they only needed to land a single hit on his Pikachu, which proved to be much more difficult than it initially seemed due to his {{m|Double Team}}. After a break, he encouraged them both to battle against each other in order to see how much they've grown after the training.
[[File:Friede and Lucca.png|thumb|250px|left|Friede and Lucca]]
In ''[[HZ012|The Future I Choose]]'', after finding out there was a communication issue around their area, Friede went out with his Pikachu and Charizard and he soon found a {{p|Magneton}} using its magnetic field. Friede scared it away with his Pikachu, after that he was able to get a call from Liko, asking him if he could get water for the {{Berries}} that they planted, so he brought [[Ludlow]] with him to use his {{p|Quagsire}}'s {{m|Rain Dance}}. Friede later went to the [[Artazon]]'s library to find information about the Ancient Poké Ball. Coincidentally, he met his former homeroom teacher<ref>https://x.com/anipoke_PR/status/1789460483508260947?t=4BnStqkVp1nrKLTEclpsrQ&s=19</ref> [[Lucca]], whose {{p|Squawkabilly}} gave him a hint that Liko's grandmother [[Diana]] was currently in [[Galar]].

In ''[[HZ014|Fly! Wattrel!!]]'', Friede dispersed a group of Magneton disturbing the connection around the Brave Olivine. Fending them off, he restored the connection and left to pursue one of the Magneton. However, this ended up being a lure into an ambush by [[Spinel]], who remotely ordered his Pokémon to attack Friede's Charizard. Driven into a corner, Friede was forced to reveal his [[Tera Orb]], {{Tera}}stallizing his Charizard and turning the odds enough to force Spinel's Pokémon to retreat.

In ''[[HZ022|Charge! Galar Mine!]]'', Friede arrived with Liko and Roy to the [[Galar Mine]] to look for the Black Rayquaza, but got separated from them. While looking for Liko and Roy, Friede encountered the Explores and battled Amethio again. During the battle, a {{TP|Lucius|Galarian|Moltres}} {{p|Moltres}} that had an Ancient Poké Ball appeared. However, when Captain Pikachu got injured during the battle, Friede stayed to battle the Explores while Liko and Roy left with his partner in order for him to recover. In the [[HZ023|next episode]], Friede met up with Captain Pikachu, Liko, and Roy at [[Motostoke]]'s [[Pokémon Center]]. After his Charizard recovered from his injures, Friede and the group decided to go back to battle Moltres again in order to calm it down. They succeeded and Moltres returned to its Ancient Poké Ball.

In ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]'', Friede, Liko, and Roy arrived at [[Hammerlocke]] in order to find an [[ancient castle|castle]] that [[Diana]], Liko's grandmother, was at. Through her {{p|Squawkabilly}}, Friede and his friends were able to find her. They hung out at the castle until the Explorers, who have been following them, arrived at their location. In the [[HZ025|next episode]], as Diana stalled the enemy group, Friede took Liko and Roy through the castle's underground passage and instructed them to stay at a safe place while he climbed up the tower and tried estabilishing contact with the Brave Olivine. Soon, he was confronted by Amethio once more, and another battle of Charizard versus Ceruledge ensued. Despite initially attacking more carefully and from a distance this time, Amethio tricked them into activating Ceruledge's Weak Armor, which increased its speed again and allowed it to land a flurry of {{m|Night Slash}}es. Seemingly overwhelmed and about to be hit by a finishing {{m|Psycho Cut}}, Friede Terastallized Charizard into a Dark type, rendering the opposing attack useless, and finished off the battle by defeating Ceruledge with a supereffective {{m|Tera Blast}}. After [[Coral]] set off her {{p|Glalie}}'s {{m|Self-Destruct}}, Friede and his Pokémon managed to barely escape the explosion and reunited with the Rising Volt Tacklers.

In ''[[HZ031|Song Within the Mist]]'', Friede and his teammates got a lead on {{TP|Lucius|Lapras}}, who happened to be one of Lucius's Pokémon, after they got a led through a ship crew that saw the Transport Pokémon. After failing to get Lapras to come out, Friede realized that something was wrong, as he devised a plan to get the Transport Pokémon back. Through his plan, Friede realized that Lapras was using {{m|Mist}} to distract the ship's members so {{p|Wailord}} and various other Pokémon could steal food from them then lead them out when they were done to avoid suspicious. In the [[HZ032|next episode]], Friede was able to help prevent the Pokémon from stealing their food, but failed to keep up with them when Lapras used {{m|Ice Beam}} on their ship. Friede, Liko, and Roy decided to follow the create trail to where Lapras and her friends were hiding out. They were able to convince her that they were friends too and the Transport Pokémon returned to her Ancient Poké Ball. However, before setting off, Friede and its friends witnessed the Black Rayquaza arrive at their location.

In ''[[HZ033|Roar of the Black Rayquaza]]'', Friede watched as Amethio and {{TP|Liko|Terapagos}}, who transformed, battled the Black Rayquaza. After Terapagos collapsed and the Black Rayquaza went off, Friede talked with Diana, who revealed that she was planning to travel on her own again, which he understood. In the [[HZ034|next episode]], Friede attended a surprise party that Liko and Roy setup for Diana's departure. Once they bid farewell to her, the Rising Volt Tacklers resumed their search for the remaining Six Heroes. However, Friede informed his teammates that they are heading to [[Paldea]] first in order to gain information on Terapagos.

In ''[[HZ035|The Wild Pair, Friede and Cap!]]'', Friede took a job assignment from his friend [[Shine]], in order to raise money for supplies, with Liko and Roy accompany him. Their task was to find his {{p|Bramblin}}, which blew away from him, and they were informed that a group of {{OBP|Pokémon hunters|HZ035}} were operating near the area. Although they were able to find Bramblin a few times, Friede and his friends failed to keep at one place, which led the Tumbleweed Pokémon getting captured by the Pokémon Hunters. Fortunately, Friede and his friends efforts helped save Bramblin, as it [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Brambleghast}}, and defeated the Pokémon Hunters. After brining Brambleghast back to Shine and bringing in the Pokémon Hunters into the authorities, Friede was able to get paid, which will help the Rising Volt Tacklers get supplies for their return journey to Paldea.
[[File:Friede Amethio HZ045.png|250px|thumb|Friede and Amethio joining forces to battle Black Rayquaza]]
In ''[[HZ044|The Plan to Capture Rayquaza]]'', Friede and the Rising Volt Tacklers received information regarding the Explorers in Paldea, so he went to check out a suspicious watchtower with Liko and Roy. Friede decided to go in first, only to realize it was a trap by Spinel who wanted to distract him to ensure he does not interfere with his plans. The space was too enclosed to use Charizard so Friede sent out his Pikachu againt his oppnent's {{p|Umbreon}}. Captain Pikachu struggled intially against Umbreon due to its {{m|Foul Play}} and {{m|Reflect}} working against him, so Friede craftily formed a plan to allow him to break out of the watchtower using Umbreon's Reflect, allowing the two to escape with Charizard. Friede then joined up with his friends to interfere with the Explorers' plans to capture the Black Rayquaza.

In ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]'', Friede and the Rising Volt Tacklers watched in shock as Coral's attack sent Rayquaza crashing into their airship. Thankfully, Murdock and the rest were able to land it safely nearby. After the Explorers retreated, Friede joined Liko, Roy, and Dot in battling Rayquaza, until the [[Legendary Pokémon]] unleashed a {{m|Draco Meteor}}. Liko was promptly saved by Amethio and his Ceruledge, who reluctantly joined forces with Friede to take on Rayquaza. Both Trainers Terastallized their Pokémon and landed powerful consecutive attacks which seemed to overwhelm Rayquaza, but it used a powerful {{m|Dragon Ascent}} to defeat them. After Liko's newly [[Evolution|evolved]] {{p|Floragato}} and [[Roy's Fuecoco]] managed to hit Rayquaza, everyone's Pokémon were soon exhausted form the fight and the Legendary Pokémon flew back into the sky while Friede, Liko, Roy, and Dot reunited with the rest of the team. Friede soon suggested to the three to undergo [[Tera Training]] at [[Naranja Academy]] to become stronger Trainers.
[[File:Friede Yanga HZ054.png|250px|left|thumb|Friede investigating the Treasure of Eternity with [[Yanga]]]]
In ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]'', after a brief conversation with Orla about the Brave Olivine's fate, it was revealed that Friede went on a journey alone with Lucius's Pokémon and equipment. [[HZ054|Some time later]], this investigation took Friede back to [[Exceed]] where he found connections between Lucius's Pokémon and a project called ''Treasure of Eternity''. Upon meeting up with old acquaintances, Friede discovered that he was in a trap set by Spinel in the shadows and, before escaping, he discovered that the entire Treasure of Eternity project was no longer in Exceed's possession.

In ''[[HZ057|The Terapagos I Don't Know]]'', Friede met up with Liko, Roy, and Dot. They showed him the [[Scarlet Book]] that had a picture of Terapagos. After asking for information about Terapagos from Clavell and Geeta, Friede and his friends met with [[Raifort]], who provided a location and information about Laqua. Before continuing his own journey, Friede wished Liko, Roy, and Dot good luck in their second Gym Leader battles.
[[File:Friede and Carmine HZ069.png|250px|thumb|Friede's rivalry with [[Carmine]]]]
In ''[[HZ064|The Approaching Shadow!]]'', Friede was alerted by Roy and Dot that Liko was missing, so he decided to ask for [[Grusha]]'s help. In the [[HZ065|next episode]], Friede and Captain Pikachu caught up with the kids and was relieved that the [[Gym Leader]] had found Liko. Later, Friede asked the girl what Spinel was doing and, after hearing his story about using the Treasure of Eternity that sent the man's Umbreon into a rampage and how Terapagos destroyed the crystal, purifying its effects, Friede realized that it was the [[Laquium]] and decided to find out more information about it.

In ''[[HZ068|Into a New Sky! The Brave Olivine!]]'', Friede reunited with Liko, Roy, and Dot on the new Brave Olivine. After the children took a tour of the ship, Friede returned Lucius's Pokémon to Liko's care. After watching the [[Six Heroes]] test Liko, Roy, and Dot's improvements, Friede congratulated them on their growth as Trainers and decided to head towards [[Kitakami]], where they arrived shortly after thanks to the new improvements the ship had.

Already in Kitakami, in ''[[HZ069|Roy is Crocalor, and Crocalor is Roy!]]'', Friede and the others went to look for information about [[Briar]]'s whereabouts. While participating in the [[Countryside Harvest Festival]], a {{p|Sinistcha}} caught his attention, but when Friede met her Trainer [[Carmine]], he entered into a series of disputes with her. Eventually, overcoming all of the challenges proposed by her, Friede discovered that Briar was at the [[Crystal Pool]], and that thanks to Mollie's deeds, the group gained safe passage to be able to go there without much difficulty.

In ''[[HZ073|Kleavor the Solitary Warrior]]'', Friede and his group encountered [[Lucius's Kleavor]], but he and [[Perrin]] got separated from the others chasing after the latter's {{p|Growlithe}}. After reuniting with Liko's group once their battle with Kleavor ended, everybody assisted to a memory of Lucius encountering the Pokémon, as well as learning about his aquaintance named Rystal. Afterwards, Kleavor returned to its Ancient Poké Ball and joined the Rising Volt Tacklers.

In ''[[HZ078|Entei's Fierce Battle Cry!]]'', Friede, alongside Liko, Roy, and Dot, battled an {{p|Entei}} on a volcanic island in [[Johto]] thinking it was the specimen of Lucius. Eventually, they discovered that it was a {{pkmn2|wild}} one. Shortly after, they received notification from Briar of a possible warning from Entei in [[Area Zero]], so Friede and the Rising Volt Tacklers decided to return to Paldea.

[[File:Friede disappearance.png|thumb|250px|left|Friede and {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} disappearing to parts unknown]]
In ''[[HZ081|The Pillar of Fire]]'', Friede and the younger members battled against Lucius's Entei, which turned out to be a {{TP|Lucius|Gouging Fire}}, after passing Gouging Fire's trial with an intense battle, Gouging Fire returned to its Ancient Poké Ball. Afterwards the remaining Six Heroes summoned the Black Rayquaza to Area Zero, much to Friede and the younger members shock. In [[HZ082|the next episode]], Friede and the younger members battled against Rayquaza once more. Despite putting up a tough fight with great strategies, Rayquaza defeated most of the group's Pokemon, leaving Roy's Crocalor and Pagogo to battle Rayquaza. After Pagogo dealt massive damage to Rayquaza and Roy's Crocalor Terastallize then used a final move on it, the Sky High Pokémon was weekend enough for Roy to recapture it into its Ancient Poké Ball, fulfilling his dream. Friede and the Rising Volt Tacklers then followed Rayquaza in search for Laqua.

In ''[[HZ086|The Rising Volt Tacklers vs. The Explorers!]]'', Friede had a battle against Spinel. Despite Spinel's tricky tactics of swapping abilities and powerful coordinated attacks, Friede was able to win by outsmarting him with his own intuition. After Friede won, both Captain Pikachu and Charizard were exhausted, with Spinel fleeing as a result.

In ''[[HZ087|Guided by the Black Rayquaza!]]'', due to Gibeon and the Explorers mining for Laquium, the pink must it created affected the already battle-worn Captain Pikachu and Charizard, causing them to go berserk and knock each other out. Friede was forced to recall his Pokémon and watch on as Liko, Roy, Dot, and Amethio battled against Gibeon's Zygarde.

In ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', after Gibeon was defeated and the Laquium had been purified, Friede aided Liko, Roy, and Dot in escaping from the Six Heroes in Laqua who went berserk due to Spinel's schemes. As they attempted to board the Brave Olivine, a heavy gust of wind emerged. At the last moment, Friede managed to get Captain Pikachu onto the ship before he and Charizard were blown off, as they are sent tumbling back towards Laqua, leaving their status unknown. In ''[[HZ091|Eyes to the Skies Once Again, Part 2]]'', it was revealed that the Rising Volt Tacklers spent time looking for Friede before the Explorers closed off the area around Laqua but were unable to find him.

A year later, in [[HZ100]], it was revealed in a message sent a month earlier on the Rising Volt Tacklers' [[Rotom Phone]] app that Friede and Charizard survived the crash but were hiding somewhere due to heavy surveillance by the Explorers.

===Character===
[[File:Friede Captain Pikachu Donuts.png|250px|thumb|Friede and Captain Pikachu enjoying Murdock's donuts]]
Friede appears to be a young and competent {{pkmn|Trainer}}, albeit rather distracted and forgetful, as he forgets to mention certain things to his friends sometimes. Despite this, Friede is quite protective of his team, whether putting himself in danger to protect the ship or protecting his teammates from opponents, especially the younger members. In ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', Friede has stated that he doesn't like to be acknowledged as a [[Pokémon Professor]]. If someone were to say his name in any type of formality, he would rather change the subject. When he introduced [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] as official members of the Rising Volt Tacklers, they both said their thanks and both referred him as "''Mister'' Friede", which Friede quickly corrects them, preferring to be called simply by his name.

Friede also has a more immature and silly side, like when he eats the donuts made by [[Murdock]] for his niece [[Dot]] together with [[Captain Pikachu]], or when he is tricked by a merchant to buy his wares to remember two people who asked him about a [[Black Rayquaza]], however without getting any useful information. He also does not appear to take [[Amethio]] seriously, often making snarky remarks before their routinely battles. Nonetheless, he is a formidable Trainer with access to {{Tera}}stallization and has shown to be very wise, such as in ''[[HZ007|Special Training with Cap!]]'', when he offered advice and training for the younger members of the Rising Volt Tacklers in order to become great Pokémon Trainers.

Friede respects [[Lucca]] as she was his homeroom teacher and had done a lot for him, as he won't have met Captain Pikachu, regain his passion for researching and formed the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] without her help and guidance. Friede also seems to be close with [[Orla]], due to being friends with her since childhood. Although they were apart for many years, Friede's friendship with Orla remain strong, as he immediately went to her for help in making an airship and accepted her request in joining him on his adventures. In addition, Friede has a very good relationship with [[Ludlow]] and sees him as a mentor. Friede seems to be great friends with Murdock and enjoys hanging out with him. Friede even gets along really well with Mollie and the younger members, especially Liko and Roy, whom he is especially fond of and helps them through their goals.

Friede doesn't like to talk about his past and his life before forming the Rising Volt Tacklers, as seen in ''[[HZ018|Flying Pikachu, Rising Higher and Higher!]]'', when he didn't give the younger members any answer as to how Captain Pikachu was flying during a battle. However, after Orla told everyone that he was going to share as to how he met Captain Pikachu and the formation of the Rising Volt Tacklers with everyone, Friede gave in and decided to open up to his teammates about his past.

===Pokémon===
[[File:Friede and his Pokémon.png|250px|thumb|Friede and his Pokémon]]
Friede's team consists of strong and independent Pokémon who lead the rest of the Pokémon that belong to his teammates and the group who live on the Brave Olivine. Also, Friede's partners are strong in battle and are able to hold their own, but there have been times they were overwhelmed by a stronger opponent. In addition, Friede's Charizard is capable of {{Tera}}stallization.

===Accomplishments===
[[File:Pokémon distribution map.png|250px|thumb|The Pokémon distribution map]]
As a [[Pokémon Professor]], Friede worked on some important {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} reports.

* '''Pokémon distribution map''': Presented at academic conferences, and converted into an app on the [[Rotom Phone]], if the [[Trainer]] finds a Pokémon that is not listed on the map, the system generates a report on the species found.

==In the games==
===[[Pokémon Mezastar]]===
Friede, in a version based on the animated series, appeared in [[Pokémon Mezastar]]. In this game, Friede is seen using {{p|Sprigatito}}, {{p|Metagross}}, {{p|Fuecoco}}, and {{p|Charizard}}, with Sprigatito, Metagross, and Fuecoco being Pokémon that he was not seen using in animation, although it could be a reference to [[Liko's Sprigatito]], {{DL|Orla|Metagross|Orla's Metagross}}, and [[Roy's Fuecoco]]. In the [[Gorgeous Star set 1 (Mezastar)|first Gorgeous Star series]], as part of a tie-in with the animated series, [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] [[Liko]], [[Roy]], Friede or [[Explorers]] Admin [[Amethio]], could randomly challenge the player as a Trainer and Battle opponent.

=== Brandt ===

: ''For all the teams with used by Brandt and further information, see [[User:Rockapheller/Brandt|Brandt]]''

In March 2018, I have started to record all my Pokémon teams on each of my playthrough. '''Brandt''' is the original persona that I have been using for my initial playthroughs ever since. He typically catches Pokémon that are introduced in the generation of its game. For example, he would use only [[Generation V]] Pokémon in any Generation V game. The exception is when the Pokémon has an [[evolution]] or a new form that are introduced in that generation. The most remarkable example being [[Mega Evolution]]s being introduced in [[Generation VI]].

=== Brandy ===

: ''For all the teams with used by Brandy and further information, see [[User:Rockapheller/Brandy|Brandy]]''

'''Brandy''' is the female counterpart to Brandt. She typically follows the same rules as Brandt while making up her teams. Additionally, she tends to ignore the Pokémon that Brandt has trained already, and instead chooses different species.

=== City names ===

: ''For all the teams with the city name theme and further information, see [[User:Rockapheller/City names|City names]]''

The [[player character]]s are named after cities, and their regular members on the [[party]] are nicknamed after a specific theme. For instance, the player character in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] is named ''Athens'' due to the theme of the game. The regular members on Athens's teams are nicknamed after Greek gods and goddesses. Unlike the previous playthrough patterns, during the city name runs, the Pokémon teams are not restricted to the corresponding generation of the game. The only rule is to prevent using the same Pokémon that have been used before.

=== Blind playthrough ===

: ''For all the teams with the blind playthrough theme and further information, see [[User:Rockapheller/Blind playthrough|Blind playthrough]]''

'''Blind playthrough''' refers to the gameplays that occur right after the release of the game. The distinct feature of these gameplays is the fact that I am not aware of any newly released Pokémon in these games apart from the ones officially revealed through trailers, including the evolutions of the starters, and I am allowed to play with only newly released species. The first one occurred right after the release of [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], and the trend is intended to continue with the releases of next [[generation]]s.

== Laidback missions ==

'''Laidback missions''' refer to minor missions that I repeat on a daily basis until I reach my goal. These missions often contain finding a rare form of a Pokémon which would take a lot of time when done at once. The ultimate goal is to complete my [[Living Pokédex]] which I had completed once before the release of [[Generation VIII]] games [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].

== [[Living Pokédex]] ==

I have completed a Living Pokédex after the release of [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]] by using [[Pokémon X and Y|Pokémon X]], [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby]], and [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Sun]]. After the release of [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], I have been trying to keep up with it, although some of the newly released Pokémon have yet to be added. At the moment, all the Pokémon are stored in [[Pokémon HOME]]. Initially, none of the Pokémon were meant to have all their various forms, but after the release of [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], I have decided to find the missing forms as much as possible. The search still continues to this day.

=== Games ===

[[File:Slateport City Mt Chimney artwork.png|thumb|280px|Hoenn artwork from Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]

* My first game is one of original [[Hoenn]] games that I started playing in 2005, but I don't remember which version it was. I stopped playing the game very early, because I didn't like the [[region]] back then.
** The first game I completed is [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Pokémon FireRed]].
** My favorite set of games are [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]].
* I have completed a [[Living Pokédex]] in early 2018.
* My longest [[Pokémon battle]] has been against [[Pokémon Champion|Champion]] [[Wallace]] in {{v|Emerald}}, lasting around 1 hour.
* The first game version I played without knowing any species outside of the ones revealed in the official trailers is [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet]].

==== Gameplay ====

[[File:Green Mega Blastoise Evolutions.png|thumb|280px|A Mega evolved Blastoise]]

* I never leave my [[first partner Pokémon]].
* I catch the "national bird" Pokémon and keep them on my team until the end unless I already had trained one in another version before.
* There are no types that I never trained.{{tt|*|Stats below contain my teams that I started recording since March 2018}}
** My most trained type is {{t|Normal}}, with 24.
** My least trained type is {{t|Steel}}, with 6.
* I only play with the Pokémon that debut in the generation of its game, unless the generation introduces a new evolution or form to the species.
* Until [[Generation VI]] games, I would have my Pokémon either with a beneficial or ineffective nature. This rule is broken from [[Pokémon X and Y|Pokémon X]] and onwards due to arguably easiness of the games.
* I keep the level of my Pokémon on my team as close as possible.
* [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Alpha Sapphire]] has the only team which defeated the league first time with less than 6 Pokémon in the party.
** [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Alpha Sapphire]] is also the only team which contains a [[Mythical Pokémon]] in the regular party.
* I don't necessarily choose the gender of a specific Pokémon.
** [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold of Brandy]], [[Pokémon X and Y|X of Brandt]] and [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Violet of Brandt]] have the teams that coincidentally consist of the same gender Pokémon.
** Out of 22 [[first partner Pokémon]], only 4, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, [[Partner Pokémon|Partner Eevee]] and {{p|Decidueye}}, are female.
** So far, 14 teams of mine are male-oriented, 6 teams are female-oriented, 4 teams are equally distributed.
** Out of 132 Pokémon, 82 are male, 47 are female, 10 are genderless.
*** 7 genderless Pokémon are [[Legendary Pokémon|Legendary]].
*** 1 genderless Pokémon is [[Mythical Pokémon|Mythical]].
*** 1 genderless Pokémon is an [[Ultra Beast]].
* {{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Blastoise}} are the only Pokémon that I trained for more than one [[party]].
** {{p|Typhlosion}}, {{p|Braviary}}, and {{p|Zoroark}} are also trained twice, but with different [[List of Pokémon with form differences|form]]s.
** {{p|Primeape}} is also trained twice, but in second occurrance, it evolved into {{p|Annihilape}}, which was unavailable in the initial presence on the team.
* {{p|Golduck}} in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] is the only [[shiny Pokémon]] to be a regular member of the party.

A '''Pokémon Trainer'''<ref group="lower-alpha">In some early official media, "Trainer" was formatted in {{wp|Letter case#Sentence case|sentence case}} as "trainer". For example, ''"You've been finally granted your Pokémon '''trainer'''<nowiki/>'s license. Now it's time to to become the world's greatest Pokémon '''trainer'''!"'' (written on the back of the boxes of {{game|Red and Blue|s}})</ref> (Japanese: '''ポケモントレーナー''' ''Pokémon Trainer'') is a [[Human|person]] who {{pkmn2|caught|catches}}, {{pkmn|training|trains}}, cares for, and {{pkmn|battle}}s with {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The majority of people within the known [[Pokémon world]] are Trainers.

Pokémon Trainer is a broad term for any person who owns Pokémon, including {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s and {{tc|Pokémon Breeder|Breeders}}. However, the term is more often used to refer to people on a {{pkmn|journey}} to collect [[Gym]] [[Badge]]s and enter the [[Pokémon League]].

==In the core series games==
[[File:SugimoriTrainers.png|thumb|250px|left|Trainers from different classes, from left to right: a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket Grunt}}, a {{tc|Lass}}, and a {{tc|Bug Catcher}}]]
Many Trainers leave home, sometimes accompanied with a [[first partner Pokémon]] obtained from a [[Pokémon Professor]], to travel around one or more [[region]]s, doing such things as gathering information for a [[Pokédex]], perfecting their technique, collecting [[Gym]] [[Badge]]s, and working to become a [[Pokémon Master]]. No matter what their specialties or aims, there is one code that they all follow—when two Trainers make eye contact, they must have a {{pkmn|battle}}.

Pokémon Trainers come in all sorts of [[#Trainer class|classes]]: {{tc|Youngster}}s tend to stay close to home, and {{tc|Bug Catcher}}s swarm about the {{t|Bug}}-filled forests; {{tc|Hiker}}s traverse mountains and [[cave]]s, {{tc|Fisherman|Fishermen}} are rarely far from water, and {{tc|Ace Trainer}}s aspire to compete in the [[Pokémon League]]. A Trainer's class may reflect their [[Type expert|favorite type]], the areas they prefer, their technique, and their level of skill; however, even within each class, Trainers may vary greatly.
[[File:Ash Unova Pokédex.png|thumb|250px|A Pokédex and set of Poké Balls for a beginning Trainer in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'']]
Many towns have a [[Gym]] run by a strong and experienced Trainer known as a [[Gym Leader]]. Other Trainers may challenge a Gym Leader, and if the Gym Leader is defeated in battle, they award the challenger a [[Badge]]. However, in [[Pokémon animation]], the Gym Leader may award the Trainer a Badge for other reasons, since the Badge is a symbol of the Trainer's skill. For example, {{Ash}} won several of his early Badges by refusing to take an unfair advantage or going out of his way to save a Gym, which proved himself as an exceptional Trainer outside of battle. In [[Alola]], each of the four islands has a [[Island kahuna|kahuna]] who may be challenged by traveling Trainers taking the [[island challenge]] after the completion of their island's trials.

Above the level of Gym Leaders and island kahunas are the [[Elite Four]] members and the [[Pokémon League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}. There are also Trainers who serve as {{cat|Battle facility leaders|leaders}} for [[Battle facility|battle facilities]] not recognized by the Pokémon League, such as the [[Frontier Brain]]s of the [[Battle Frontier]] and the {{tc|Battle Chatelaine}}s of the [[Battle Maison]]. These Trainers are considered the cream of the crop, and should a Trainer defeat other Trainers at this level, it is not uncommon for them to be offered a place in these high ranks.

However, just as there are many Trainers with noble goals and lawful methods, there are also corrupt Trainers, including a number of [[villainous team]]s and [[Pokémon hunter|Pokémon thieves]]. These Trainers often use powerful Pokémon to take what they want and further their plans.

While the viability of [[Pokémon training]] as a lifestyle is never outright stated in most games, it is implied in {{g|Sun and Moon}} that it does not guarantee a sufficient income. Several [[Eevee users]] are seen having to take up part-time jobs in order to obtain the finances needed to support themselves, with the latter being unable to go into retirement using just the funds from Pokémon training.

During the time period in which {{g|Legends: Arceus}} is set, the term "Pokémon Trainer" was not in use, though a few people at the time still kept, trained, cared for, and battled with Pokémon as partners. The phrase "Pokémon wielder" or "wielder of Pokémon" is used by [[Volo]] to describe himself and the player (though no other contemporaneous character uses the term) and in [[Raifort]]'s explanation about the [[treasures of ruin]]; the same Japanese phrase has also been translated as "Pokémon user" or "user of Pokémon" in past games going back to {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}.

===Trainer class===
'''Trainer classes''', officially known as a '''Trainer type'''{{sup/4|PtHGSS}} (Japanese: '''トレーナータイプ''' ''Trainer type''), '''Trainer Title'''{{sup/ss|PBR}} (Japanese: '''かたがき''' ''title''), or '''title'''{{sup/4|HGSS}}{{sup/5|BWB2W2}} (Japanese: '''{{ruby|肩書|かたが}}き''' ''title''), are the types of [[non-player character|non-playable]] Pokémon Trainers that players can battle in all [[core series]] Pokémon games. They come in different varieties and sprites which describe their occupation, estimated age, and sometimes what Pokémon they train. For example, a {{tc|Psychic}} is a young adult with telekinetic powers who trains {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon.

All Trainer classes have overworld or field sprites that sometimes may be used for non-Trainers. Unlike in-battle sprites, overworld sprites may be shared between multiple Trainer classes such as the {{tc|Ace Trainer}} overworld sprite, which is shared with {{tc|Dragon Tamer}}s and {{tc|Pokémon Ranger}}s in Generation IV. Notable Trainer classes, such as Gym Leaders, have unique sprites between each individual one. Trainer classes can be combined in certain [[Double Battle]]s; for example a {{tc|Crush Girl}} and a {{tc|Black Belt}} can team up to form a {{tc|Crush Kin}}; however, special class names are not created for Trainers involved in a [[Multi Battle]].

From [[Generation III]] to [[Generation V]], the {{player}} assumes the form of a generic Trainer class of their choice when data of this player is exchanged wirelessly or through [[record mixing]] to another core series game of the same generation. In [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], the player can choose a Trainer Title for their [[Custom Pass]].

===As a Trainer class===
[[File:Red HGSS battle.png|thumb|250px|The Trainer class as it appears in-battle]]
In the games, Pokémon Trainer (rendered as "{{PK}}{{MN}} Trainer" until [[Generation VI]], in which the full title "Pokémon Trainer" is written out) is used as the Trainer class for certain storyline characters. These opponents tend to be the most powerful non-arena Trainers the player will face. This class is used for all [[rival]]s (except {{ga|Blue}} and {{ga|Silver}}, who are instead outright referred to as rivals), every opponent in link battles and the [[Pokémon World Tournament]], {{DL|Battle Tree|special Trainers}} in the [[Battle Tree]], and {{DL|Battle Agency|Bosses}} of the [[Battle Agency]], as well as the following characters:

* {{game|Gold and Silver|s|Pokémon Gold, Silver}}, and {{v2|Crystal}}: {{ga|Red}}, {{ga|Cal}}, and {{ga|Carrie}}
* {{game|Emerald}}: {{Steven}}
* [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl]], and [[Pokémon Platinum|Platinum]]: {{ga|Lucas}}{{tt|*|as NPC}}, {{ga|Dawn}}{{tt|*|as NPC}}, and the [[Stat Trainers]] ([[Cheryl]], [[Mira]], [[Riley]], [[Buck]], and [[Marley]])

==In the spin-off games==
===Play It! series===
In the introduction of [[Pokémon Play It!]] and [[Pokémon Play It! Version 2]], {{OBP|Julie|Play It!}} says that she and the [[player character]] are Pokémon Trainers. However, they play the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}} rather than train Pokémon. In the lesson "What's a Trainer card?", Julie mentions that [[Bill]] is a Trainer as well.

===Super Smash Bros. series===
[[File:Pokemon Trainer SSBU.png|thumb|200px|Pokémon Trainer in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]
{{main|Pokémon Trainer (Super Smash Bros.)}}
There is a {{player|playable character}} called "{{sbw|Pokémon Trainer|Pokémon Trainer}}" in the game [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]. His appearance is based on {{ga|Red}}'s [[Generation III]] design, and he uses members of the [[List of Pokémon by evolutionary line|evolutionary lines]] of the [[Kanto first partner Pokémon]] to battle against the others, namely {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}}. While he was absent in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], he returned in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], along an alternate female version based on {{ga|Leaf}}.

====Trophy information====
[[File:Pokémon Trainer 3DS trophy SSB4.png|thumb|left|150px|Pokémon Trainer trophy in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]]
[[File:Pokémon Trainer XY 3DS trophy SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Pokémon Trainer X&Y trophy in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]]
Two trophies appear in the 3DS version of [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], one of the Brawl character and one of the player characters from {{g|X and Y}}.

=====Pokémon Trainer=====
'''NA''': ''Pop quiz! What do Misty, Brock, Cynthia, Iris, and Ash all have in common? That's right—they're all Pokémon Trainers! This Pokémon Master in the making is the same. Back in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, [[Pokémon Theme|he fought to be the very best—like no one ever was. To smash them was his real test—to launch them was his cause!]]''

'''PAL''': ''Quiz time! What do Misty, Brock, Cynthia, Iris and Ash all have in common? That's right - they're all Pokémon Trainers! This Pokémon Master in the making is just the same. He fought to be the very best - like no one ever was - back in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. To smash them was his real test - to launch them was his cause.''

=====Pokémon Trainer (Pokémon X & Y) (NA)/Trainers (PAL)=====
'''NA''': ''We suppose it's possible you've missed out up till now, so let us explain: in Pokémon, you set out from your hometown on a Pokémon journey, catching Pokémon and fighting battles with them. In Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, you reach the next town and find yourself embroiled in a tale of... No, wait—no spoilers! ''

'''PAL''': ''If you've been living under a rock for some years now, let us explain. In Pokémon, you start from your home town on your own Pokémon journey, catching Pokémon and fighting battles with them. In Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, you reach the next town and find yourself embroiled in a tale of... Well, we won't spoil it for you.''

===Pokémon Shuffle===
In {{g|Shuffle}}, [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] Pokémon (which appear as bosses in [[stage (Shuffle)#Main stage|main stage]]s and [[competitive stage]]s) are each accompanied by a Pokémon Trainer. These Pokémon Trainers are depicted in silhouette. The first one, located in Stage 10 of [[Puerto Blanco]], owns a Audino capable of [[Mega Evolution]]. They ask the player to battle them. Afterward, they give the player a [[Audinite]] that they can use to [[Mega Evolve]] their own Audino, and provide some instructions on how to use it.

All other Trainers only have one line before sending out their Pokémon, and do not say anything after the battle. This also applies to any additional playthroughs of Stage 10. If the stage was one of the main stages, the Mega Stone corresponding to their Pokémon is still rewarded after the battle. However, there is no accompanying dialogue
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* For ''[[DP005|Gettin' Twiggy With It!]]'', [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia]] is about Pokémon Trainers. He writes this {{wp|senryū}} about it: 「さあ10さい　ぼくもわたしも　トレーナー」 ''"Ah, the age 10; we will all be Trainers."''
* It is stated in {{aniseries|PTS}} that a person may not become a Trainer until the age of 10; however, this is not the case in other media as some Trainers are obviously below the minimum age, such as the Trainer classes {{tc|Twins}}, {{tc|Tuber}}, and {{tc|Preschooler}}. Some Preschoolers in the [[Battle Subway]] emphasize the fact that they are four years old. However, in the {{aniseries|BW}} episode ''[[BW065|Battling the Bully!]]'', {{an|Cilan}} mentions that young kids are allowed to have battles for fun.
** In addition, [[Poppy]] of the Paldea Elite Four is stated to be 9 years old.
* In [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]], the word "Trainer" is not capitalized. However, it is capitalized in later games.
* In ''[[Pocket Monsters: The Animation]]'', it was revealed that Pokémon training was a very dangerous sport, as the mere act of training a Pokémon can result in severe injuries or even death. It also mentions that various men try to go out and become a Pokémon trainer at age 10 (which was considered the legal age of adulthood), and there was a high dropout rate regarding whether they become skilled Trainers that afterwards they come across as incompetent. It is also implied that this is the reason why many professional workplaces are primarily staffed by women.
* [[Pokémon X and Y]] introduced the most new Trainer classes of any [[core series]] game, with 47.
* {{game|Crystal}} and {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} introduced the fewest new Trainer classes of any core series games, with one each.
* The only Trainer classes to appear in every main line game are the {{tc|Black Belt}}, {{tc|Hiker}}, and {{tc|Youngster}}.

'''Chimecho''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''チリーン''' ''Chirean'') is a {{type|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Chingling}} when [[friendship Evolution|leveled up with high friendship]] during the [[Time-based Evolution|night]].

==Biology==
Chimecho is a small, round {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a mainly bluish-white body shaped like a fūrin {{wp|wind chime}}. It has beady, yellow eyes and three stubby limbs. Its body has a horizontal {{wp|Amaranth (color)|amaranth}}-colored pattern. Underneath its body extends a long, tag-like tail that has amaranth patterning at the bottom. A yellow, globular growth, referred to as a ''suction cup'' or a ''sucker'', is connected to the top of its body.

Chimecho can create ultrasonic sound waves and other noises. It uses seven different echoing cries to communicate with others. It is nocturnal and usually lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}} and woods, but some are found in mountainous regions. An omnivorous species, it eats Berries that it plucks with its tail and can knock out large prey using powerful waves of air, which are thought to be created by Chimecho amplifying the faint sound of wind inside its body.

===Evolution===
Chimecho evolves from {{p|Chingling}}.

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

===Main series===
[[File:Maya Chimecho.png|thumb|250px|Chimecho in {{aniseries|DP}}]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[James's Chimecho]]=====
Chimecho debuted in ''[[AG084|Who's Flying Now?]]'', where [[James]] {{pkmn2|caught}} it during the [[Fortree City]] Feather Carnival. It appeared in the {{TRT}} {{motto}} right after [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]], and James cherished it so much that he did not allow it to battle. In ''[[AG147|Sweet Baby James]]'', James left his Chimecho with his [[Nanny and Pop-Pop]] to recover from illness at his old vacation home in [[Saffron City]].

=====Other=====
In ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness]]'' and ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - Beyond Time & Darkness]]'', a Chimecho was part of [[Wigglytuff's Guild]]. She prepared the meals for the guild.

In ''[[DP154|Mastering Current Events!]]'', {{OBP|Maya|DP154}}'s Chimecho used winds to fly. It was used against [[McCann|her grandfather]] in battle, but it was defeated by his {{p|Scizor}}.

====Minor appearances====
A Chimecho appeared in ''[[DP004|Dawn Of A New Era!]]''.

==Trivia==
* Chimecho is the very last Pokémon by {{DL|List of Pokémon by index number (GBA)|index number}} in the [[Generation III]] games (excluding glitch Pokémon and {{p|Unown}} forms), except in {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, where this trait belongs to {{p|Munchlax}}.

===Origin===
Chimecho appears to be based on Japanese glass wind bells known as ''{{wp|wind chime#Eastern and Southern Asia|fūrin}}'', which are hung around {{wp|Shinto shrine}}s to predict disasters and ward off evil spirits. Its red and white coloration is reminiscent of the dresses worn by {{wp|miko}}.

====Name origin====
Chimecho may be a combination of ''chime'' and ''echo''.

Chirean may be a combination of ちりんちりん ''chirinchirin'' (the sound of a bell chiming) and 風鈴 ''fūrin'' (wind chime).

Pokémon journey

2025-10-10T14:29:38Z

Rockapheller: Too many exceptions (Blake, Whitley, Henry, Casey)

{{samename|seventh series of {{aniseries|PTS}}|Pokémon Journeys: The Series}}
A '''Pokémon journey''' is a quest undertaken by a [[Pokémon Trainer]] to learn to live and work with {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. In [[Pokémon animation]], a person's Pokémon journey can begin as early as the age of 10, when they can first legally apply for a [[Pokémon Trainer's license]]. It is at this point that a [[Pokémon Professor]] can give them a [[first partner Pokémon]] native to their own [[region]], though many people befriend or are given other Pokémon prior to being legally able to be Trainers.

Pokémon Trainers may choose to journey alone or with friends and people they meet along the way. On their journey, Trainers can stay at a [[Pokémon Center]] free of charge, where their Pokémon can be healed by the resident [[Pokémon Center lady]].

==In the games==
[[File:RedStart.png|frame|The beginning of {{ga|Red}}'s [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Pokémon journey]]]]
The [[core series]] games chronicle the Pokémon journey of an individual Trainer, the {{player}}, across a region that is dependent on the game being played. The player will often begin a journey around the same time as one or more [[rival]]s, whom they will meet at various points through their travels, and may {{pkmn|battle}} against or [[Multi Battle|along]] with them. This journey is typically focused on defeating the region's eight Pokémon Gyms, defeating the [[Elite Four]], and becoming the {{pkmn|Champion}}, though there are often sidequests along the way. A [[villainous team]] will always show up during the journey to impede the player's progress, and often, after the Pokémon League has been conquered, several post-League areas are available to continue the journey.

While sending children alone on a Pokémon journey is a normal part of life in the [[Pokémon world]], many [[mother]]s remain understandably hesitant at letting their children grow up.

Some [[spin-off game]]s, like [[Pokémon Shuffle]], explicitly define their narratives as a "journey". That does not hold true for every narrative where Trainers head out into the world to meet Pokémon.

==In animation==
[[File:Ash Journey Beginning.png|thumb|240px|left|Ash, ready to go on a new journey]]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
The {{pkmn|animated series}} initially follows the Pokémon journey of [[Ash Ketchum]], who started off with his first Pokémon, a {{AP|Pikachu}}, in [[EP001|the first episode]] of {{aniseries|PTS}}, and continues to journey across the {{pkmn|world}} in order to compete in each of the regional [[Pokémon League]] competitions. His ultimate goal is to become a [[Pokémon Master]]. He is joined by {{ashfr}} along the way, each with their own goals.

The animated series has established that children may apply for their [[Pokémon Trainer's license]], obtain their first Pokémon, and set out on their journey at the age of 10. Ash and many others received their first partner Pokémon from the resident Professor, while some have received theirs from a local [[Pokémon Center]] or by other means. Seven-year-old [[Max]], although barred from owning Pokémon, accompanied his sister {{an|May}} on her journey. Sometimes children younger than 10 have been shown to have Pokémon in their possession, notably {{an|Iris}} who had a [[Iris's Excadrill|Drilbur]] at a young age.
[[File:Liko Roy Dot.png|thumb|250px|Liko and her traveling companions]]
Starting a Pokémon journey is considered a rite of passage for children, and Ash has followed in the footsteps of both his father and grandfather. A journey can continue into adulthood, which is the case for {{OBP|Silver|HS18}} and apparently Ash's father. {{OBP|Mandy|AG151}} even views an adult on a Pokémon journey as somewhat immature, preferring that they settle down instead.

Pokémon journeys have many different possibilities, with some Trainers choosing to gather a region's [[Badge]]s from its [[Gym|Pokémon Gyms]], their ultimate goal being the Pokémon League challenge. Other Trainers instead choose to become {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s, gathering [[Ribbon]]s by competing in [[Pokémon Contest]]s with the goal of winning the [[Grand Festival]] to become a [[Top Coordinator]]. Some other Trainers may choose to become {{pkmn|Performer}}s and compete in [[Pokémon Showcase]]s with the goal of being the {{DL|Pokémon Performer|Kalos Queen}}. Others journey in order to learn about and be proficient about certain [[type]]s of Pokémon while some may choose to journey to pursue certain occupations like [[Pokémon breeding]], {{pkmn|Watcher|Pokémon watching}}, and {{pkmn|Stylist|Pokémon styling}}. Regardless of the reason behind the journey, Trainers must learn to work in all sorts of circumstances to become the best in their field.

===''Pokémon Horizons: The Series''===
In {{aniseries|HZ}}, the {{pkmn|animated series}} started to show [[Liko]]'s journey through the [[Pokémon world]], being joined soon by [[Roy]] and [[Dot]] through the [[Paldea]] region to learn more about the [[Terastal phenomenon]].

[[HZ091|Some time later]], the three begin a quest across the world to purge [[Laquium]]'s influence from [[wild Pokémon]] and clear the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]'s names.

'''Malamar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カラマネロ''' ''Calamanero'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Inkay}} starting at [[level]] 30 when leveled up while the game system is held upside-down; or, if playing on the [[Nintendo Switch 2]], while the Joy-Con 2 controllers are attached to the console upside-down.

Malamar will be able to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Malamar''' in the upcoming game {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

==Biology==
[[File:MalamarXYPromo58.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Malamar under water]]
Malamar is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles an upside-down squid. Several purple tentacles with bright blue undersides sprout from the top of its head. It has yellow eyes with black sclerae, a dark pink {{wp|cephalopod beak|beak-like mouth}}, and lighter purple eyelids. Its main body is dark purple and has six circular yellow lights on the front and back. There is also a yellow stripe nearly encircling its upper body. Covering its main body is a transparent {{wp|Mantle (mollusc)|mantle}} with two white fins on the bottom that function as legs. On each side of the mantle is a long tentacle with dark pink at the top and white, scythe-like fins at the ends. The edge of Malamar's fins are said to be extremely sharp and can be enhanced using {{m|Psycho Cut|psychic energy}} during battles.

Malamar possesses strong hypnotic powers, which are said to be the most powerful of any Pokémon. Malamar uses its hypnotic power to force others to do its bidding. Those under Malamar's control will lose their memories surrounding the event. People often utilize this ability for nefarious deeds. Malamar's hypnotic powers are said to have played a role in several history-changing events. It lures prey with the flashing pattern on its luminescent body and hypnotic motions, then ensnares them in its tentacles. The prey is then finished off with digestive fluids. Both the {{pkmn|animated series}} and the [[TCG]] show Malamar living near water or even under water. As shown in the {{aniseries|XY}} episode ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', it uses its tentacles to propel itself, swimming leg-first. As depicted in ''[[XY019|A Conspiracy to Conquer!]]'' and ''[[XY054|Facing the Grand Design!]]'', Malamar is shown to be highly intelligent, reaching almost human levels, and capable of running devices designed and handled by humans.

Prior to [[Generation VIII]] and in [[Generation IX]], Malamar and its pre-evolved form, Inkay, were the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Topsy-Turvy}}.

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

As Mega Malamar, its "feet" join together and its lower body becomes much thinner, so it opts to levitate. Its tentacles form an afro-like shape while glowing an even brighter blue than before. Its bioluminescence causes it to rapidly flash rainbow light from its body. In particular, when using hypnosis, its right arm tentacle glows teal while its left glows purple. Its shoulders have also changed shape to resemble shoulder pads.

Mega Malamar is capable of even greater feats of hypnosis. As shown during the [[My Friend Malamar]] campaign, it can completely warp the personalities of its victims in mere seconds, forcing them to erratically praise it. It may even act maliciously enough to hypnotize its own Trainer.

===Evolution===
Malamar evolves from {{p|Inkay}}.

===Major appearances===
====[[Malamar (anime)]]====
An evil, psychopathic Malamar appeared in ''[[XY019|A Conspiracy to Conquer!]]''. It had hypnotized an [[Officer Jenny]] to pose as "Madame X". While it was defeated in the end, it escaped. Malamar reappeared in ''[[XY054|Facing the Grand Design!]]'', along with two other evil Malamar, where they attempted to initiate their plan of world conquest. After being foiled again, they used a machine to [[Time travel|escape into the future]].

====Other====
Six Malamar appeared in ''[[XY054|Facing the Grand Design!]]'', along with the three evil Malamar. Unlike the three evil Malamar, these Malamar were peaceful and lived with Pokémon living in the forest. They later helped [[James]] and {{an|Clemont}} stop the three evil Malamar from completing their plans and rescue their friends.

A Malamar appeared in ''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'', under the ownership of [[Xerosic]]. Xerosic used his Malamar to battle several of Clemont's Pokémon, but it was soon defeated. It reappeared in ''[[XY139|Facing the Needs of the Many!]]'', where it attempted to {{m|Hypnosis|hypnotize}} Clemont, but failed.

A Malamar appeared in ''[[JN115|Curtain Up! Fight the Fights!]]'', under the ownership of [[Alain]]. It fought [[Leon's Charizard]] in the [[Masters Eight Tournament]] and lost.

===Minor appearances===

==Trivia==
[[File:My Friend Calamanero Pokémon Center announcement.jpg|thumb|250px|"My Friend Calamanero" Pokémon Center campaign announcement]]
* In addition to {{p|Inkay}}'s method of [[Evolution]] into Malamar being unique, it would have been impossible in any of the previous [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]] because the [[Nintendo 3DS]] is Nintendo's first handheld system with an internal {{wp|gyroscope}}.
* Malamar and its pre-Evolution were designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[http://hitoshiariga.deviantart.com/art/Pocket-Monsters-XY-413536751 Pocket Monsters XY by HitoshiAriga on deviantART]</ref>
* Malamar and its pre-Evolution are the only Pokémon to have {{a|Contrary}} as a standard [[Ability]] instead of a [[Hidden Ability]].
* Malamar is the subject of the "[[My Friend Malamar]]" (Japanese: マイ・フレンド・カラマネロ ''My Friend Calamanero'') campaign, which began online on September 4, 2025.
** Additionally, its [[Mega Evolution]] as first teased in a video called ''Malamar.mp4'' on September 4th, 2025.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ac_I3IgArY0</ref> The rest of video was released as ''SPECIAL REPORT: The Truth About Malamar'' on September 10th, 2025.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HxSr_6RiiY</ref>

===Origin===
Malamar is based on an upside-down {{wp|squid}}. According to Hitoshi Ariga, Malamar's upside-down design was inspired by the fact that squids are commonly illustrated upside-down in pictorial books.<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/921753659381202944 Tweet by ありがひとし/HitoshiAriga (@ariga_megamix).] Posted on Oct 21, 2017.</ref> Its hypnosis ability appears to be a reference to the {{wp|cuttlefish}} and its ability to mesmerize prey by rhythmically changing color. Its body orientation and bioluminescence may also have been inspired by the {{wp|vampire squid}}'s abilities to invert its tentacles and produce light.

Additionally, as alluded to by Ariga,<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/1115591492926468096 Tweet by ありがひとし/HitoshiAriga (@ariga_megamix).] Posted on April 9, 2019.</ref> Malamar's physical appearance and its use of hypnosis to forcefully control others may be inspired by a stereotypical extraterrestrial supervillain, a fairly common in trope {{wp|tokusatsu}} shows. Its tentacles acting as living hair also shares some similarities with {{wp|witches}} and {{wp|gorgon}}-like monsters.

====Name origin====
Malamar may be a combination of ''mal-'' (Latin-derived prefix for bad), μαλάκιο ''malákio'' (Greek for {{wp|mollusk}}), ''{{wp|calamari}}'', and ''mare'' (Latin for sea). It could also be a reference to the Spanish expression ''mala mar'' (literally "bad sea"), used by fishermen or sailors to describe rough sea conditions.

Calamanero may be a combination of ''calamaro'' (Italian for squid) and ''nero'' (Italian for "black" and "ink"). It may also involve 絡ます ''karamasu'' (to entangle) and 魔 ''ma'' (demon).

'''Malamar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カラマネロ''' ''Calamanero'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Inkay}} starting at [[level]] 30 when leveled up while the game system is held upside-down; or, if playing on the [[Nintendo Switch 2]], while the Joy-Con 2 controllers are attached to the console upside-down.

Malamar will be able to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Malamar''' in the upcoming game {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

==Biology==
[[File:MalamarXYPromo58.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Malamar under water]]
Malamar is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles an upside-down squid. Several purple tentacles with bright blue undersides sprout from the top of its head. It has yellow eyes with black sclerae, a dark pink {{wp|cephalopod beak|beak-like mouth}}, and lighter purple eyelids. Its main body is dark purple and has six circular yellow lights on the front and back. There is also a yellow stripe nearly encircling its upper body. Covering its main body is a transparent {{wp|Mantle (mollusc)|mantle}} with two white fins on the bottom that function as legs. On each side of the mantle is a long tentacle with dark pink at the top and white, scythe-like fins at the ends. The edge of Malamar's fins are said to be extremely sharp and can be enhanced using {{m|Psycho Cut|psychic energy}} during battles.

Malamar possesses strong hypnotic powers, which are said to be the most powerful of any Pokémon. Malamar uses its hypnotic power to force others to do its bidding. Those under Malamar's control will lose their memories surrounding the event. People often utilize this ability for nefarious deeds. Malamar's hypnotic powers are said to have played a role in several history-changing events. It lures prey with the flashing pattern on its luminescent body and hypnotic motions, then ensnares them in its tentacles. The prey is then finished off with digestive fluids. Both the {{pkmn|animated series}} and the [[TCG]] show Malamar living near water or even under water. As shown in the {{aniseries|XY}} episode ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', it uses its tentacles to propel itself, swimming leg-first. As depicted in ''[[XY019|A Conspiracy to Conquer!]]'' and ''[[XY054|Facing the Grand Design!]]'', Malamar is shown to be highly intelligent, reaching almost human levels, and capable of running devices designed and handled by humans.

Prior to [[Generation VIII]] and in [[Generation IX]], Malamar and its pre-evolved form, Inkay, were the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Topsy-Turvy}}.

===Evolution===
Malamar evolves from {{p|Inkay}}.

==In animation==
[[File:Malamar anime.png|thumb|250px|Malamar in {{aniseries|XY}}]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Malamar (anime)]]====
An evil, psychopathic Malamar appeared in ''[[XY019|A Conspiracy to Conquer!]]''. It had hypnotized an [[Officer Jenny]] to pose as "Madame X". While it was defeated in the end, it escaped. Malamar reappeared in ''[[XY054|Facing the Grand Design!]]'', along with two other evil Malamar, where they attempted to initiate their plan of world conquest. After being foiled again, they used a machine to [[Time travel|escape into the future]].

====Other====
Six Malamar appeared in ''[[XY054|Facing the Grand Design!]]'', along with the three evil Malamar. Unlike the three evil Malamar, these Malamar were peaceful and lived with Pokémon living in the forest. They later helped [[James]] and {{an|Clemont}} stop the three evil Malamar from completing their plans and rescue their friends.

A Malamar appeared in ''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'', under the ownership of [[Xerosic]]. Xerosic used his Malamar to battle several of Clemont's Pokémon, but it was soon defeated. It reappeared in ''[[XY139|Facing the Needs of the Many!]]'', where it attempted to {{m|Hypnosis|hypnotize}} Clemont, but failed.

A Malamar appeared in ''[[JN115|Curtain Up! Fight the Fights!]]'', under the ownership of [[Alain]]. It fought [[Leon's Charizard]] in the [[Masters Eight Tournament]] and lost.

===Minor appearances===
Malamar debuted in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]''.

==Trivia==
[[File:My Friend Calamanero Pokémon Center announcement.jpg|thumb|250px|"My Friend Calamanero" Pokémon Center campaign announcement]]
* In addition to {{p|Inkay}}'s method of [[Evolution]] into Malamar being unique, it would have been impossible in any of the previous [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]] because the [[Nintendo 3DS]] is Nintendo's first handheld system with an internal {{wp|gyroscope}}.
* Malamar and its pre-Evolution were designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[http://hitoshiariga.deviantart.com/art/Pocket-Monsters-XY-413536751 Pocket Monsters XY by HitoshiAriga on deviantART]</ref>
* Malamar and its pre-Evolution are the only Pokémon to have {{a|Contrary}} as a standard [[Ability]] instead of a [[Hidden Ability]].
* Malamar is the subject of the "[[My Friend Malamar]]" (Japanese: マイ・フレンド・カラマネロ ''My Friend Calamanero'') campaign, which began online on September 4, 2025.

===Origin===
Malamar is based on an upside-down {{wp|squid}}. According to Hitoshi Ariga, Malamar's upside-down design was inspired by the fact that squids are commonly illustrated upside-down in pictorial books.<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/921753659381202944 Tweet by ありがひとし/HitoshiAriga (@ariga_megamix).] Posted on Oct 21, 2017.</ref> Its hypnosis ability appears to be a reference to the {{wp|cuttlefish}} and its ability to mesmerize prey by rhythmically changing color. Its body orientation and bioluminescence may also have been inspired by the {{wp|vampire squid}}'s abilities to invert its tentacles and produce light.

Additionally, as alluded to by Ariga,<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/1115591492926468096 Tweet by ありがひとし/HitoshiAriga (@ariga_megamix).] Posted on April 9, 2019.</ref> Malamar's physical appearance and its use of hypnosis to forcefully control others may be inspired by a stereotypical extraterrestrial supervillain, a fairly common in trope {{wp|tokusatsu}} shows. Its tentacles acting as living hair also shares some similarities with {{wp|witches}} and {{wp|gorgon}}-like monsters.

====Name origin====
Malamar may be a combination of ''mal-'' (Latin-derived prefix for bad), μαλάκιο ''malákio'' (Greek for {{wp|mollusk}}), ''{{wp|calamari}}'', and ''mare'' (Latin for sea). It could also be a reference to the Spanish expression ''mala mar'' (literally "bad sea"), used by fishermen or sailors to describe rough sea conditions.

Calamanero may be a combination of ''calamaro'' (Italian for squid) and ''nero'' (Italian for "black" and "ink"). It may also involve 絡ます ''karamasu'' (to entangle) and 魔 ''ma'' (demon).

== Some additions (and question about sign languages) ==

Would there be a way to add "I love Malamar" in sign languages? (ASL, BSL, etc.) Through glossing, video, etc.

Some additions as well:

'''Λατρεύω το Μάλαμαρ!''' - Greek (I don't know what grammatical gender Malamar would have in Greek; usually loawords would take on the gender of the original or based n the ending of the word, but since English/Malamar has no grammatical gender, and because -ar isn't a native ending in Greek, I went with the neuter "το". Native Greek speakers can correct me on this one.

'''Jeg elsker Malamar!''' - Danish (Like for a lot of languages, it can be a bit hard to find information on distinguishing phrases for romantic love from those for nonromantic. From my understanding, saying "Jeg elsker [object]" is a bit like saying "I love [object]" in English, where the phrase can be interpreted as romantic, but for animals/objects, that isn't necessarily the case. Again, native speakers please correct me on this.)

'''Malamar amo!''' - Latin (free word order, went with object first to emphasize our great Malamar. Having more issues with grammatical gender and declensions with this one. If you want to make a declension table for "Malamar", be my guest.)

'''Mi amas Malamar!''' - Esperanto

[[User:Welkamo|Welkamo]] ([[User talk:Welkamo|talk]]) 01:47, 7 September 2025 (UTC)

:More of this. You have opened Pandora's box.
:'''Mwen renmen Sepiatroce!''' - Haitian Creole (French-based creole, so I used the French name.
:'''Ek is mal oor Malamar!''' - Afrikaans
:'''.. / .-.. --- ...- . / -- .- .-.. .- -- .- .-.''' Morse Code
:'''01001001 00100000 01101100 01101111 01110110 01100101 00100000 01001101 01100001 01101100 01100001 01101101 01100001 01110010''' - Binary
:'''Ես սիրում եմ քեզ, Մալամար։''' - Armenian (more literally "I love you, Malamar")

For Yiddish, "איך האָב ליב מאַלאַמאר!" "Ikh hob lib Malamar" (notably the ! should be at the far left, I'm not sure how to get it to be on the left since I just joined Bulbapedia lol)

For Latin, assuming that the Latin name for Malamar would be ''Malamārius'' (as the origin of the name extends to Italian ''calamaro'' from Latin ''calamārius''), it would be "Malamārium amō!" assuming I've correctly translated that.

'''Brock's Marshtomp''' (Japanese: '''タケシのヌマクロー''' ''Takeshi's Numacraw'') was the second {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{an|Brock}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]], and his seventh overall.

==In animation==
===History===
===={{aniseries|RS}}====
=====Hoenn=====
[[File:AG025.png|thumb|left|220px|Rescuing a baby {{p|Mudkip}} in its debut]]
Brock obtained Marshtomp as a Mudkip in ''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]''. Mudkip was a [[wild Pokémon]], though it frequented [[Old Man Swamp]]'s property on [[Dewford Town|Dewford Island]], where he raised Mudkip for the [[Pokémon League]]. It tended to act as a guardian to the young Mudkip and was noticeably larger. Old Man Swamp feared that Mudkip would eventually become lonely once all of the hatchlings were sent out to the new {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. Brock eventually befriended it after a few failed attempts. Later, Mudkip, Brock, and Brock's other Pokémon, {{TP|Brock|Forretress}} and {{TP|Brock|Lotad}}, had to rescue a baby Mudkip from falling over a waterfall. They managed to save it, but right after the ordeal they were attacked by {{TRT}}. Mudkip and Brock's Lotad used {{m|Water Gun}} on the ground around the [[team Rocket's mechas|mecha]] to make it sink into the ground, and [[Ash's Pikachu]] finished the job with {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Old Man Swamp later suggested that Mudkip go with Brock, to which it happily agreed.

During the group's {{pkmn|journey}} through [[Hoenn]], Mudkip was usually seen alongside Brock's {{p|Lombre}}. The two were often called out to use a dual-Water Gun attack.
[[File:Brock and Marshtomp.png|thumb|220px|Marshtomp and Brock]]
In ''[[AG026|Turning Over a Nuzleaf!]]'', Mudkip, along with Pikachu, {{AP|Treecko}}, {{AP|Corphish}}, {{TP|May|Torchic}}, {{TP|May|Silcoon}}, and Lotad, were separated from the group after a {{OBP|Loudred|recurring}} attacked them. Mudkip and Pikachu attempted to lead the group of Pokémon as they searched for their Trainers. However, a group of {{p|Nuzleaf}} began to capture the Pokémon one by one after Corphish damaged the leaf on one of the Nuzleaf's heads. Mudkip and Pikachu were not captured and worked together to save the others until Ash and the group arrived.

In ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'', Mudkip teamed up with Pikachu to face [[Colonel Hansen]]'s {{p|Ninjask}} in order to give {{an|Misty}} time to run away. Unfortunately, the speedy Pokémon were able to escape due to creating a smokescreen with {{m|Shadow Ball}} and tunneling away with {{m|Dig}}.

In ''[[AG046|Candid Camerupt!]]'', Mudkip battled [[Winstrate family|Victor]]'s {{p|Zigzagoon}}. Mudkip opened by using Water Gun, which Zigzagoon dodged. Zigzagoon then shockingly responded with a {{m|Thunderbolt}}, ending the battle with just the one [[move]].

In ''[[AG092|Judgment Day!]]'', Mudkip was used in a mock battle alongside Lombre against [[Ash's Swellow]] and Corphish to help {{OBP|Jimmy|AG092}} train as a [[Battle judge|referee]]. Lombre was quickly pushed into a tough position and Brock had it play dead to give Jimmy an easy judgment. As Jimmy wondered what to do, Ash commanded Swellow to attack Lombre, who retaliated with {{m|Razor Leaf}}. The attack failed to knock out Swellow and it and Mudkip attacked with dual Water Guns, which Corphish blocked. Jimmy declared Corphish unable to battle, though it sprung back up immediately after. His teacher scolded him for the rash judgement and the battle was put to an end.

In ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'', Mudkip and {{TP|May|Beautifly}} distracted [[Archie]], giving {{DL|Kyogre and Groudon (Ruby and Sapphire series)|Groudon}} the opportunity to defeat {{p|Kyogre}}.

=====Kanto Battle Frontier=====
[[File:AG167.png|thumb|220px|left|Marshtomp in the Gardenia Town Contest]]
Brock decided to bring Mudkip with him across the [[Kanto]] [[region]] during Ash's {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} challenge.

In ''[[AG148|A Chip Off the Old Brock]]'', Mudkip [[Evolution|evolved]] into a Marshtomp when it was having a practice battle against Ash's Grovyle. It automatically learned {{m|Mud Shot}} upon evolution due to it becoming part {{t|Ground}} [[type]]. In the same episode, it became smitten with a {{p|Flaaffy}}, much like the way Brock was smitten by [[Mariah (AG148)|its Trainer]].

In ''[[AG167|What I Did For Love!]]'', Brock decided to enter the [[Gardenia Town]] [[Pokémon Contest]] in attempt to win the affections of a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} named [[Yuma]]. Marshtomp was motivated to help its Trainer, so Brock decided to use it in the [[Contest Battle|Battle Round]] of the Contest. It performed rather well, taking out {{OBP|Mollie|AG167}}'s {{p|Absol}}. In the finals, it fought against [[May's Eevee]] and was able to use its fins to sense Eevee's underground movements and detect exactly where it would come up after using {{m|Dig}}. Despite this, Eevee eventually won.

Brock left Marshtomp at the [[Pewter Gym]] when he decided to join {{Ash}} in the [[Sinnoh]] region.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
[[File:Brock Marshtomp in love.png|thumb|220px|Marshtomp in love]]
In ''[[JN143|Ride, Lapras, Ride!]]'', Marshtomp was shown to have rejoined Brock's team. During the episode, it helped in freeing a trapped {{p|Wailmer}}. Despite Wailmer evolving into a {{p|Wailord}} and getting stuck again, they were able to free the Float Whale Pokémon.

===Personality and characteristics===
Initially, Mudkip was distrustful of strangers and was very protective of those it cared for, similar to [[Ash's Bulbasaur]]. This is shown in [[AG025|its debut appearance]], where it viewed Brock and the others as intruders of its land. Once Brock gained its trust, it turned into an extremely loyal Pokémon and felt safer around strangers. During its travels with Brock, it was shown to be more of a sensible type and it was seen assisting {{AP|Pikachu}} in breaking up and resolving arguments between the other Pokémon. It is also friendly with younger Pokémon. It was particularly useful when it came to locating objects and missing people or Pokémon thanks to the fin on its head, which was hypersensitive to any vibration.

When Mudkip evolved into Marshtomp, it retained the same personality but also developed somewhat of a flirtatious side, like its Trainer, as seen in ''[[AG148|A Chip Off the Old Brock]]'' when it fell madly in love with {{OBP|Mariah|AG148}}'s {{p|Flaaffy}}.

Pokémon journey

2025-04-28T07:47:23Z

Rockapheller: /* In other languages */

{{samename|seventh series of {{aniseries|PTS}}|Pokémon Journeys: The Series}}
A '''Pokémon journey''' is a quest undertaken by a [[Pokémon Trainer]] to learn to live and work with {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. In [[Pokémon animation]], a person's Pokémon journey can begin as early as the age of 10, when they can first legally apply for a [[Pokémon Trainer's license]]. It is at this point that a [[Pokémon Professor]] can give them a [[first partner Pokémon]] native to their own [[region]], though many people befriend or are given other Pokémon prior to being legally able to be Trainers.

Pokémon Trainers may choose to journey alone or with friends and people they meet along the way. On their journey, Trainers can stay at a [[Pokémon Center]] free of charge, where their Pokémon can be healed by the resident [[Pokémon Center lady]].

==In the games==
[[File:RedStart.png|frame|The beginning of {{ga|Red}}'s [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Pokémon journey]]]]
The [[core series]] games chronicle the Pokémon journey of an individual Trainer, the {{player}}, across a region that is dependent on the game being played. The player will often begin a journey around the same time as one or more [[rival]]s, whom they will meet at various points through their travels, and may {{pkmn|battle}} against or [[Multi Battle|along]] with them. This journey is typically focused on defeating the region's eight Pokémon Gyms, defeating the [[Elite Four]], and becoming the {{pkmn|Champion}}, though there are often sidequests along the way. A [[villainous team]] will always show up during the journey to impede the player's progress, and often, after the Pokémon League has been conquered, several post-League areas are available to continue the journey.

While sending children alone on a Pokémon journey is a normal part of life in the [[Pokémon world]], many [[mother]]s remain understandably hesitant at letting their children grow up.

Some [[spin-off game]]s, like [[Pokémon Shuffle]], explicitly define their narratives as a "journey". That does not hold true for every narrative where Trainers head out into the world to meet Pokémon.

==In animation==
[[File:Ash Journey Beginning.png|thumb|240px|left|Ash, ready to go on a new journey]]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
The {{pkmn|animated series}} initially follows the Pokémon journey of [[Ash Ketchum]], who started off with his first Pokémon, a {{AP|Pikachu}}, in [[EP001|the first episode]] of {{aniseries|PTS}}, and continues to journey across the {{pkmn|world}} in order to compete in each of the regional [[Pokémon League]] competitions. His ultimate goal is to become a [[Pokémon Master]]. He is joined by {{ashfr}} along the way, each with their own goals.

The animated series has established that children may apply for their [[Pokémon Trainer's license]], obtain their first Pokémon, and set out on their journey at the age of 10. Ash and many others received their first partner Pokémon from the resident Professor, while some have received theirs from a local [[Pokémon Center]] or by other means. Seven-year-old [[Max]], although barred from owning Pokémon, accompanied his sister {{an|May}} on her journey. Sometimes children younger than 10 have been shown to have Pokémon in their possession, notably {{an|Iris}} who had a [[Iris's Excadrill|Drilbur]] at a young age.
[[File:Liko Roy Dot.png|thumb|250px|Liko and her traveling companions]]
Starting a Pokémon journey is considered a rite of passage for children, and Ash has followed in the footsteps of both his father and grandfather. A journey can continue into adulthood, which is the case for {{OBP|Silver|HS18}} and apparently Ash's father. {{OBP|Mandy|AG151}} even views an adult on a Pokémon journey as somewhat immature, preferring that they settle down instead.

Pokémon journeys have many different possibilities, with some Trainers choosing to gather a region's [[Badge]]s from its [[Gym|Pokémon Gyms]], their ultimate goal being the Pokémon League challenge. Other Trainers instead choose to become {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s, gathering [[Ribbon]]s by competing in [[Pokémon Contest]]s with the goal of winning the [[Grand Festival]] to become a [[Top Coordinator]]. Some other Trainers may choose to become {{pkmn|Performer}}s and compete in [[Pokémon Showcase]]s with the goal of being the {{DL|Pokémon Performer|Kalos Queen}}. Others journey in order to learn about and be proficient about certain [[type]]s of Pokémon while some may choose to journey to pursue certain occupations like [[Pokémon breeding]], {{pkmn|Watcher|Pokémon watching}}, and {{pkmn|Stylist|Pokémon styling}}. Regardless of the reason behind the journey, Trainers must learn to work in all sorts of circumstances to become the best in their field.

===''Pokémon Horizons: The Series''===
In {{aniseries|HZ}}, the {{pkmn|animated series}} started to show [[Liko]]'s journey through the [[Pokémon world]], being joined soon by [[Roy]] and [[Dot]] through the [[Paldea]] region to learn more about the [[Terastal phenomenon]].

[[HZ091|Some time later]], the three begin a quest across the world to purge [[Laquium]]'s influence from [[wild Pokémon]] and clear the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]'s names.

'''Steven Stone''' (Japanese: '''ツワブキ・ダイゴ''' ''Daigo Tsuwabuki'') is a skilled {{pkmn|Trainer}} who [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Steel}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He is the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Hoenn]] [[region]]'s [[Hoenn League|Pokémon League]] in [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]], [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire]], as well as the Hoenn League Champion during {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

A collector of rare stones, Steven is the son of the [[Mr. Stone|president]] of the [[Devon Corporation]], and makes his home in [[Mossdeep City]]. In the Hoenn-based games, he wanders the region, aiding the {{player}} on their {{pkmn|journey}}. In {{game|Emerald}}, he is a former Champion, with [[Wallace]] taking his place.

==In the core series games==

[[File:Steven Pokémon League ORAS.png|thumb|200px|Steven challenging the player]]
In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, Steven is first met in [[Granite Cave]] when the {{player}} delivers him a [[letter]] from [[Mr. Stone|his father]]. As thanks, Steven gives the player the [[TM]] for {{m|Steel Wing}} before leaving. He is later briefly met again on {{rt|118|Hoenn}} after the player has crossed the body of water running across the route. On {{rt|120|Hoenn}}, he gifts the player with the [[Devon Scope]], allowing them to detect invisible {{p|Kecleon}}. At his house in [[Mossdeep City]], Steven gives the player {{HM|08|Dive}}. After {{p|Groudon}}{{sup/3|R}}/{{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/3|S}} has been awakened, Steven tells the player follow him to [[Sootopolis City]], where he escorts them to the [[Cave of Origin]]. Later, at the {{ho|Pokémon League}} in [[Ever Grande City]], Steven reveals himself to be the [[Hoenn League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}. Following his defeat, he escorts the player into the [[Hall of Fame]].

In {{game|Emerald}}, Steven is a powerful, wandering Trainer who gave up competing seriously to spend more time looking for rare rocks and stones. In addition to the encounters in Ruby and Sapphire, Steven now also assists the player in stopping [[Team Magma]]'s takeover of the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] by joining them in a [[Multi Battle]] against [[Maxie]] and [[Tabitha]]. Once the player has defeated the new Champion, [[Wallace]], a special chamber opens up at [[Meteor Falls]], where Steven challenges the player to a high-level battle.

In {{game|Platinum}}, the person who gives the player their [[Villa]] in the [[Resort Area]] mentions that the man who gave him the Villa came to [[Sinnoh]] to collect rare stones and returned to his home in [[Hoenn]] after finding all the rare stones he wanted, heavily hinting that the previous owner was Steven.

Steven also appears in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, introducing himself as the Hoenn Champion. The player first meets him when they leave the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] in [[Vermilion City]] after collecting {{OBP|Copycat|character}}'s [[Lost Item]], where he will inform them that there have been reports of a {{p|Latios}}{{sup/4|SS}}/{{p|Latias}}{{sup/4|HG}} {{pkmn2|roaming}} [[Kanto]]. The player meets him a second time after defeating {{ga|Red}} in [[Mt. Silver Cave]], appearing in the [[Silph Co.]] building in [[Saffron City]] and letting the player choose one of three colored stones: the Green Stone, the Red Stone, or the Blue Stone. Depending on which color is picked, he will give the player one of the three [[Hoenn first partner Pokémon]]. He can later be found in the [[Pewter Museum of Science]], examining a shelf. After visiting and speaking to him there, he will return to the Silph Co. building and offer to [[In-game trade|trade]] the player a {{p|Beldum}} holding a [[Dawn Stone]] for a {{p|Forretress}}.

If the player has the [[Enigma Stone]] and enters the Pewter Museum of Science, an event will occur in which Steven will be talking to one of the museum's researchers. When he is spoken to, he will notice the Enigma Stone and have the researcher examine it. The researcher will extract the [[Soul Dew]] from the stone and give it to the player. Steven will tell the player that Soul Dew is said to be the solidified spirits of Latias and Latios, and that it can bring out their true potential. Upon walking outside, Latias{{sup/4|SS}}/Latios{{sup/4|HG}} will be waiting to battle the player, drawn to them by the Soul Dew. Once it has been caught, Steven will head back to Hoenn.

In {{game|Black and White|s}}, a tourist who visits [[Undella Town]] in the {{season|summer}} mentions Steven, explaining that he is a very powerful Pokémon Trainer who collects stones. In {{B2W2}}, Steven appears alongside the other Champions from the first five [[generation]]s as an opponent in the [[Champions Tournament]] at the [[Pokémon World Tournament]].

In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Steven performs mostly the same role as he did in Ruby and Sapphire, with several alterations. For example, the encounter with him in Granite Cave now serves as foreshadowing for [[Primal Reversion]], and the encounter with him on Route 118 leads to him and the player visiting [[Southern Island]] to defend Latios{{sup/6|OR}}/Latias{{sup/6|AS}} from Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Team Aqua]]{{sup/6|AS}}, after which he gives the player a [[Mega Bracelet]] and teaches them about [[Mega Evolution]] before they return to mainland and part ways. On Route 120, in addition to the Devon Scope, he also gives the player the [[Mega Stone]] for the Hoenn first partner Pokémon they chose at the start of the game.

Steven plays a major role in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire's [[Delta Episode]], attempting to find a way to stop a [[Grand Meteor Delta|giant meteoroid]] from destroying the [[Pokémon world]]. He summons the player to his help via their [[PokéNav Plus]], first having them come to the [[Devon Corporation]] building in [[Rustboro City]] so that his father can explain the situation. Afterwards, Steven heads for the Mossdeep Space Center, while the player retrieves a [[Meteorite Shard]] required to power a device called the dimensional shifter, which is meant to warp the meteoroid away. Steven later retrieves another Meteorite Shard from Meteor Falls for the same purpose, where he and the player also meet an elder of the [[Draconid people]]. When the Space Center is later invaded by Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}}, the player joins Steven in a Multi Battle against [[Courtney]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Matt]]{{sup/6|AS}} and a [[Grunt]]. Afterwards, the dimensional shifter is stolen and destroyed by [[Zinnia]], who calls Steven and [[Professor Cozmo]] out on not considering the possibility that the device could've sent the meteoroid to [[Pokémon multiverse|another world]] that would have no method of dealing with it. Figuring that Zinnia is trying to use {{p|Rayquaza}} to stop the meteoroid, Steven enlists Wallace's help in letting the player gain access to the [[Sky Pillar]]. At the end of the Delta Episode, a cutscene shows Steven requesting Wallace to take his place as Champion once he leaves the Pokémon League to travel someday, which Wallace accepts.

After the Delta Episode, Steven also appears as a Multi Battle partner at the [[Battle Maison]]. After he's beaten in a [[rematch]] at the Pokémon League, he gives the player a [[Metagrossite]].

In Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, after the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]], Steven will leave a Beldum and a note for the player at his house in Mossdeep City. In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, he leaves one for the player after the Delta Episode is fully completed and has it hold an [[Iron Plate]].

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Steven Adventures.png|thumb|320px|Steven in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
====={{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}=====
Steven is the [[Hoenn League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}, having taken the position from [[Wallace]], who turned down the title despite winning the previous Pokémon League tournament.

Steven debuted in ''[[PS191|Blowing Past Nosepass II]]''. There, he spoke to [[Captain Stern]] about the status of the creation of the [[Submarine Explorer 1]]. In ''[[PS194|Guile from Mawile]]'', Steven rescued {{adv|Ruby}} from a hoard of rampaging {{p|Mawile}} in [[Granite Cave]]. Once they escaped, Steven considered recruiting Ruby to help him combat [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]], but decided against it due to Ruby's young age. Steven said his farewells to Ruby and headed off.

In ''[[PS250|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon XII]]'', Steven arrived at the [[Lilycove Department Store]] and found Wallace battling [[Tabitha]], who had gone berserk from touching the [[Blue Orb]]. Steven revealed that after the Submarine Explorer 1 was stolen, he went to other regions and recruited the Hoenn [[Elite Four]] as allies against {{adv|Super-ancient Pokémon|Groudon and Kyogre}}. Steven passed his title of Hoenn League Champion to Wallace and sent the Elite Four to three locations where the [[Legendary Pokémon]] [[Brandon's legendary giants#Pokémon Adventures|Registeel, Regirock, and Regice]] were sealed. With a [[blind boy]]'s help, Steven attempted to decipher an stone slab containing the secret to awaken the sleeping Pokémon. The slab was too damaged to properly translate, forcing the plan to be abandoned.

In ''[[PS253|A Royal Rumble with Regirock, Regice and Registeel I]]'', Steven found [[Sootopolis City]] surrounded by a massive explosion of energy. Amidst the chaos, Steven found and rescued {{adv|Sapphire}}, who handed him a [[letter]] she received from his father, [[Mr. Stone]]. The letter contained a decoding for the missing part of the slab, allowing Steven to finish the translation. With assistance from Sapphire's {{p|Wailord|Lorry}} and {{p|Relicanth|Relly}}, Steven successfully awakened {{p|Registeel}}, {{p|Regirock}}, and {{p|Regice}}. Steven and Sapphire were then separated by another explosion. Steven, Wallace, and the Elite Four separated into three teams of two and used Registeel, Regirock, and Regice to contain the energy generated from Groudon and Kyogre's clash and prevent it from spreading throughout Hoenn. Their efforts lasted for several weeks until ''[[PS263|It All Ends Now IV]]'', when Ruby and [[Norman]] ended Groudon and Kyogre's battle with {{p|Rayquaza}}'s power, returning the super-ancient Pokémon to their slumber. Controlling three Legendary Pokémon for so long left Steven so exhausted that he collapsed and died soon after. With Steven's passing, Registeel, Regirock, and Regice returned to the wild.

In ''[[PS263|It All Ends Now VIII]]'', Steven and those who lost their lives in the fight against Groudon and Kyogre were revived by Ruby's {{adv|Celebi}}'s [[time travel]] powers. With Team Magma and Team Aqua defeated, Steven celebrated the victory with his allies and thanked Ruby and Sapphire for their assistance in the battle.

====={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}=====
[[File: Steven ORAS chapter.png|thumb|200px|left|Steven in the thirteenth chapter]]
In the thirteenth chapter, it was discovered that [[Grand Meteor Delta]], a giant meteoroid, would crash into Hoenn and destroy the planet. To prevent this disaster, Steven enlisted the help of Ruby, Sapphire, and {{adv|Emerald}}. In ''[[PS596|Metagross Investigates]]'', Steven had [[Ultima]] train the Hoenn [[Pokédex holder]]s' Pokémon—[[Mumu]], [[Chic]], and {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}}—in mastering the ultimate moves so they would be prepared to use [[Mega Evolution]]. Despite Ruby being elsewhere on other business, Mr. Stone had everyone move onto the next phase once the training had finished.

In ''[[PS601|Beedrill Prepares]]'', Steven, Sapphire, and Emerald arrived on the [[Sea Mauville]]. The former energy plant contained a machine called an [[ultimate weapon|Absorber]] capable of fueling a dimensional shifter designed to deal with Grand Meteor Delta. That night, Emerald was attacked by a mischievous {{p|Hoopa}}. Steven assisted Emerald in battling the [[Mythical Pokémon]], revealing he was capable of using Mega Evolution as well. Hoopa eventually escaped before Steven and Emerald could defeat or identify it.

In ''[[PS603|Slowbro Has an Idea]]'', Steven and Mr. Stone used the Absorber to drain Emerald's Sceptile and Sapphire's Chic of their life energy while in their Mega-Evolved states. Once the process was finished, the Sea Mauville was raided by by [[Zinnia]], a [[Draconid people|Draconid]] with a hatred for the [[Devon Corporation]]. Zinnia and her allies made of former Team Magma and Aqua members attempted to destroy the dimensional shifter, forcing Steven, Sapphire, and Emerald to defend it. By the time Ruby returned, everyone realized that Sapphire and the shifter had disappeared due to Hoopa's interference. With the shifter gone, Zinnia attempted to steal Steven's [[Key Stone]] but was convinced to leave when Ruby offered up his and Emerald's [[Mega Bracelet]]s in exchange.

In ''[[PS606|Diancie Shines]]'', Steven and Mr. Stone stayed behind while Ruby and the others went ahead to find an alternate solution to the meteoroid impact. They received a call from the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] stating that Sapphire successfully delivered the shifter. While [[Professor Cozmo]] and [[Professor Cozmo's assistants|his assistants]] outfitted the shifter onto a rocket, Steven and his father traveled to [[Mossdeep City]] to deal with the public, who had learned of the upcoming disaster due to a news leak. In ''[[PS608|Groudon Returns]]'', Steven and Mr. Stone arrived at Mossdeep. Sapphire told Steven that she sensed Zinnia's presence and went off to prevent her from interfering with the rocket's launch. Sapphire and Zinnia's clash led to them battling on top of the rocket as it flew through the air. Eventually, Sapphire was defeated, allowing Zinnia to destroy the dimensional shifter and knock the rocket down into the ocean.

In [[PS615]], Steven and Mr. Stone arrived at Sootopolis, where Zinnia was taken to after she failed to get {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}} to join her. Mr. Stone apologized for trying to control Rayquaza years ago, only for Zinnia to reject it, claiming he was only trying to save face for his failures. When Zinnia gave up and stated it was impossible to stop disaster, Emerald suggested the differing factions worked together to save the planet. Together, everyone gathered allies from across Hoenn, [[Kanto]], and [[Johto]] to assist in stopping Grand Meteor Delta. While the plan was being set up, Steven gave Zinnia a jar of Key Stones that were collected at the [[Embedded Tower]]. When Zinnia assumed the stones Steven and Hoenn Pokédex holders used were stolen from the late [[Aster]], Steven explained he received those from the [[Gurkinn|Mega Evolution guru]] in the [[Kalos]] region.

In ''[[PAORAS21|Omega Alpha Adventure 21]]'', the plan to destroy Grand Meteor Delta went underway. Ruby and Sapphire rode on Mega Rayquaza into space, where they attacked the meteoroid with {{m|Dragon Ascent}}. Back on Earth, Steven and the three allied regions launched a simultaneous attack on Grand Meteor Delta, successfully shattering it into pieces. With the crisis averted, Steven and the others watched as Ruby and Sapphire flew back to Sootopolis with Rayquaza.

Once everything had returned to normal, Steven was revealed to be taking {{p|Diancie}} back to its home in Kalos.

In ''[[PS417|Leaping Past Lopunny]]'', Steven was revealed to have spent time collecting stones in the [[Sinnoh]] region. After obtaining the stones he wanted, Steven sold the [[Villa]] he had built to use as a home base. The Villa was bought by {{adv|Platinum}} shortly afterward.

==Trivia==
* In {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, as well as {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|their remakes}}, Steven states that his favorite Pokémon is {{p|Beldum}} and that his favorite move is {{m|Steel Wing}}. Consequently, he leaves Beldum in his house as a {{pkmn2|gift}} for the {{player}}, and gives the player the [[TM]] for Steel Wing in [[Granite Cave]].
* In Emerald, when the player speaks to Steven in [[Meteor Falls]] before their battle, he mistakenly refers to battling alongside the player in the {{ci|Sootopolis}} Space Center. The Space Center is actually in [[Mossdeep City]].
* The battle with Steven against [[Maxie]] and [[Tabitha]] is the only occasion in the [[Generation III]] games where the player teams up with an ally for a [[Multi Battle]].
** It is also the only Multi Battle with an NPC ally where the NPC's Pokémon gains [[experience]].
*** While it is normally impossible for Steven's {{p|Metang}} to gain enough experience in this battle to [[Level|level up]], enabling this through [[Cheating|hacking]] will cause Metang to evolve.
* Steven's [[Trainer ID number]] is 61226 in Pokémon Emerald, 23478 in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, and 11214 in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
** The ID number 11214 is a nod to the release date of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire; November 21, 2014.
* Steven shares his French name (Pierre) with [[Brock]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Pewter City]]. In the French dub of ''[[AG022|A Hole Lotta Trouble]]'', he keeps his English name of Steven Stone so as to not be confused with {{an|Brock}}, who was traveling with {{Ash}} at the time when {{ashfr|the group}} met Steven.
** However, from ''[[XY075|Rivals: Today and Tomorrow!]]'' onward, he is referred to as Pierre Rochard.
** In the games where both Steven and Brock appear, Steven is referred to as "P. Rochard" (HeartGold and SoulSilver) and "Rochard" (Black 2 and White 2).
* Despite being a {{type|Steel}} specialist, all of Steven's teams feature just as many or more {{type|Rock}} Pokémon.
* In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Steven mentions to [[Wallace]] that he will relinquish his position as Champion sometime in order to travel the world, and asks Wallace if he will become Champion in his place, [[List of cross-generational references|referencing]] their roles in Emerald.
* In the rematch with Steven in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, all of his Pokémon have at least one immunity.
** In the Elite Four and Champion rematch in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Steven is the only trainer in the Hoenn Pokémon League to use a Pokémon from {{p|Aerodactyl|Generation I}}.
* In Emerald, {{ga|Brendan}} and {{ga|May}} share their battle theme with Steven.
* If the player skips obtaining the [[HM]] for {{m|Dive}} from Steven's house in Ruby and Sapphire (by [[Trade|trading]] in a Pokémon with the move), Steven will leave the HM at his house in the post-game alongside Beldum.
* In Emerald, during the Multi Battle at the [[Mossdeep Space Center]], if the player has a Pokémon with {{a|Guts}} out at the same time with Steven's {{p|Skarmory}}, it may attempt to target the player's Pokémon with {{m|Toxic}} to trigger the [[Ability]].

===History===
[[File:Young Roy.png|250px|left|thumb|Young Roy]]
====Pre-series====
Roy grew up on an [[Roy's hometown|island]] in the [[Kanto]] region with his [[Roy's parents|parents]] and [[Roy's grandfather|grandfather]]. During his childhood, Roy would travel with his parents on a cargo ship and his grandfather would tell the story of a [[Lucius|Legendary Adventurer]], which inspired him to become a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. Sometime later, Roy was left under his grandfather's care when his parents went traveling on their own for business, as he received a mysterious {{i|Poké Ball}} from his grandfather and decided to undercover the mystery of it. Also, Roy would sing to himself until a group of wild Pokémon heard him and followed him.
{{left clear}}

====''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''====
Roy debuted in ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]''. In the morning after [[HZ002|a storm]], he ran to the beach, where he found the flag missing from the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]' [[Brave Olivine|airship]].

In ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', it was revealed that Roy attends virtual school and that he couldn't catch a Pokémon because there were no Pokémon Trainers on the island. After noticing that his [[Secret Base]] had been raided, Roy came across a {{p|Fuecoco}} and befriended it. Soon, they heard a commotion nearby and ran towards it to find [[Liko]] and {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} running from a group of [[wild Pokémon]]. Despite their best efforts to escape, however, they were cornered and tied up by multiple {{m|String Shot}}s until [[Friede]] came to their rescue. Afterwards, Roy and Fuecoco parted ways.

Wanting to meet Fuecoco again, Roy [[HZ005|snuck on the Brave Olivine]], but he got zapped by [[Captain Pikachu]], waking up everyone on the aircraft in the process. Roy wanted Fuecoco to be his partner, but Friede told him that Fuecoco had to reciprocate those feelings as well. He and Liko searched all over the Brave Asagi, and while they weren't able to find Fuecoco that night, Roy decided to leave it some [[Oran Berry|Oran Berries]]. In the next day, Roy stumbled upon an agitated Fuecoco, who told him that there was trouble brewing at the Brave Olivine. At the beach, Roy partnered with Fuecoco to battle against [[Zirc]] and his {{p|Rhydon}}. By chanting alongside the Fire Croc Pokémon, Roy helped Fuecoco to successfully fire off an {{m|Ember}}.
[[File:Roy RVT.png|thumb|250px|Roy joining the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]]]
In ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', Roy battled against [[Amethio]] for the first time and, even alongside Liko, was quickly overwhelmed by his strength. When {{TP|Amethio|Ceruledge}} was about to finish off Fuecoco and Sprigatito, Roy's Ancient Poké Ball started to shine brightly and released a {{Shiny|Black}} [[Black Rayquaza|Rayquaza]], who fired a {{m|Draco Meteor}} that forced the [[Explorers]] to retreat and flew away. Later that day, Roy opened his heart to Fuecoco, confessing that he wanted it to be his partner. Fuecoco reciprocated those feelings and spat out a Poké Ball that Friede's {{p|Charizard}} gave it, allowing Roy to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it. After stating he wanted to realize both his and {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}}'s dreams, his grandfather allowed him to go out on his [[Pokémon journey]] with the Rising Volt Tacklers.

In ''[[HZ007|Special Training with Cap!]]'', Liko and Roy had a sparring battle, which ended with both of their Pokémon just exhausting themselves. After a training session with [[Captain Pikachu]], they had another battle, which went much better. Although Roy ended up losing, he wasn't dejected, and promised to battle Liko again later.

In ''[[HZ009|Welcome to Paldea!]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers landed in [[Paldea]]. In [[HZ010|the following episode]], Roy and Liko visited [[Artazon]] to meet [[Gym Leader]] [[Brassius]], who had supposedly seen the Black Rayquaza. Brassius eventually admitted this to have been the case, with the encounter having left him in an artistic slump, as he felt his Rayquaza statue was not as good as the real thing. Roy, however, thought Brassius's statue looked just as good as the actual Rayquaza. After hearing how Rayquaza had been the inspiration behind his journey, Brassius challenged Roy to a battle to see if he was worthy of facing Rayquaza. During the battle, Brassius told Roy to remember to keep an eye on his own Pokémon, allowing Roy to spot that Fuecoco had just learned {{m|Stomping Tantrum}}. Despite this new [[move]], however, Fuecoco was still defeated after Brassius {{Tera}}stallized his {{p|Sudowoodo}}, ending the match in Roy's loss. After the battle, Roy expressed interest in getting to try out using the Terastal phenomenon himself. After learning that Brassius saw the Black Rayquaza flying over [[Arboliva's Forest]], Roy and Liko decided to make it their next destination.

In ''[[HZ011|Arboliva's Forest]]'', [[Nemona]] led Roy and Liko to Arboliva's Forest, only to find part of it burned down after a lightning strike started a wildfire. While searching the area, Roy came across a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{TP|Lucius|Arboliva}} with an Ancient Poké Ball. Mistakenly assuming the pair were trying to harm the Pokémon living in the forest, Arboliva began attacking Roy and Liko. While Roy and Liko kept Arboliva distracted, [[Mollie]] treated an injured {{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Wooper}}, calming Arboliva down. In the [[HZ012|following episode]], the Rising Volt Tacklers held a successful group effort to replant the damaged part of the forest. Liko's pendant briefly transformed into a mysterious Pokémon just before Arboliva returned to its Ancient Poké Ball.
[[File:Roy catches Wattrel.png|thumb|250px|left|Roy catches {{TP|Roy|Wattrel}}]]
In ''[[HZ013|An Unexpected Picnic!]]'', a {{p|Wattrel}} stole a [[sandwich]] that Roy had made for Fuecoco. Roy chased after Wattrel, until it reached a cliff, where it turned around to face Fuecoco. After a brief confrontation, Roy agreed to share the sandwich, only for Wattrel to steal both halves of it. Soon after, Roy noticed that Wattrel wasn't flying away with others of its kind. In the [[HZ014|next episode]], Roy sought Wattrel out again in order to help it learn to fly. Wattrel's fear of heights made this hard, so Roy eventually got the idea of using [[Ludlow]]'s [[fishing]] rod to support Wattrel mid-air while it attempted to fly. This strategy eventually succeeded, allowing Wattrel to fly as high as the others of its kind. Happy to see Wattrel flying, Roy was about to leave, only for Wattrel to fly after him. Taking this as a sign that Wattrel wanted to be caught by Roy, [[Murdock]] gave him a {{i|Poké Ball}} to do so. When a sudden gust of wind threw Wattrel off-balance, Roy threw the Poké Ball at it before it could hit the ground, saving it and adding it to his [[party|team]].
[[File:Liko Roy Dot Paldean first partners.png|thumb|250px|Roy, [[Liko]], and [[Dot]] battling the [[Explorers]]]]
In ''[[HZ015|Someone We Can't See! Whosawhatsit?]]'', Roy was informed that Liko went missing while shopping, so he and the Rising Volt Tacklers went looking for her. However, Roy wondered off when his Wattrel ran to chase after a {{p|Corvisquire}} until they went to [[Levincia]] City. After meeting up with Friede, Roy met [[Dot]] for the first time and went looking for Liko, being able to find her. Roy was then informed that Liko had her pendant stolen and they agreed to get it back. In the [[HZ016|next episode]], Roy and his friends found [[Spinel]], the one who stole the object, and then battled him. After Liko got her pendant back, Roy and his friends made their escape thanks to Arboliva.

In ''[[HZ017|Special Training Time!]]'', Roy decided to train his Pokémon in teamwork in the hopes of helping his Fuecoco and Wattrel get along better, due to their constant arguing. Roy asked Friede to battle them, which he accepted. However, due to Fuecoco and Wattrel lack of teamwork, Roy lost the match. The boy then decided to train his Pokémon and was able to get them to work together. Next, he asked Friede a rematch but, although Fuecoco and Wattrel's teamwork improved, Roy lost to Friede again.

In [[HZ018|next episode]], Roy and his friends got curious as to how Captain Pikachu was able to fly during his battle against him. Although they asked Friede for answers, they couldn't get the information they wanted. However, Roy and his friends refused to give up as they decided to ask the rest of the members, but couldn't get an answer from them either. Despite this, Roy and his friends curiosity did get the rest of the members curious as well. They all decided to ask Friede for answers, as they were able to convince him into telling them as to how he met Captain Pikachu and the formation of the Rising Volt Tacklers.

In ''[[HZ020|Kabu's Battle Training!]]'', Roy arrived at [[Motostoke Stadium]] with Liko in order to get some information about the Black Rayquaza from [[Motostoke]] Gym Leader [[Kabu]], due to being from [[Hoenn]]. However, Roy and Liko receive some training from Kabu then did a tag battle against him. Despite Fuecoco learning {{m|Flamethrower}}, Roy lost to Kabu while Liko forfeited because she felt bad for her opponent, {{OBP|Wakaba|HZ020}}. After the battle, Roy and Liko found out through Kabu that the Black Rayquaza is at the [[Galar Mine]].

In ''[[HZ022|Charge! Galar Mine!]]'', Roy with Liko and Friede arrived at the Galar Mine, but got separated from them. However, Roy was able to meet back up with Liko and encounter the Explores again. During the battle, Roy and his friends met a {{rf|Galarian}} {{TP|Lucius|Moltres}} that had an Ancient Poké Ball, which got him to realize that its one of Lucius's Pokémon. Unfortunately, Roy and Liko were forced to retreat when Moltres proved to be too strong and Captain Pikachu was injured as they left the mine. In the [[HZ023|next episode]], Roy and Liko arrived at the [[Pokémon Center]] in [[Motostoke]] where they reunited with Friede and agreed to battle Moltres again. After finding Moltres again at the Galar Mine, Roy battled the Legendary Pokémon again in order to calm it down. After Moltres calmed down, Roy witnessed the Legendary Pokémon return to Ancient Poké Ball, as Liko took it under her care.

In ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]'', Roy, Liko, and Friede arrived at [[Hammerlocke]] in order to find an [[Old Castle]] that [[Diana]], Liko's grandmother, was at. Through her {{p|Squawkabilly}}, Roy and his friends were able to find her. They hung out at the castle until the Explorers, who have been following them, arrived at their location. In the [[HZ025|next episode]], Roy and Liko tried to escape the Explorers, but were forced to battle Zirc and Onia, being able to defeat them. After the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived, Roy and his friends were able to escape from the Explorers.

In ''[[HZ031|Song Within the Mist]]'', Roy joined his friends and Ludlow in finding a {{TP|Lucius|Lapras}}, who happened to be one of Lucius's Pokémon, after they got a led through a ship crew that saw the Transport Pokémon. Fortunately, Roy, Liko, Dot, and Ludlow were able to find Lapras, but they failed to get it to come out, as it was covered by the {{m|Mist}} and two Pokémon appeared on the ship. When Friede devised a plan to get Lapras back, Roy and Liko stayed on the deck to wait for the Transport Pokémon. Through the Professor and Captain Pikachu, the two saw Lapras with battle scars and other various Pokémon on a {{p|Wailord}}, who also had scars as well. In the [[HZ032|next episode]], Roy joined Liko and Friede in going after Lapras and, after convincing it that they were friends, the Transport Pokémon returned to its Ancient Poké Ball and Liko took it under her care. However, before setting off, Roy and his friends witnessed the Black Rayquaza arriving at their location.

In ''[[HZ033|Roar of the Black Rayquaza]]'', Roy attempted to battle the Black Rayquaza, but couldn't because Amethio arrived to battle it and {{TP|Liko|Terapagos}} transformed in order to protect its friends. However, after Terapagos collapsed and the Black Rayquaza left, Roy was depressed that he didn't get to battle the Legendary Pokémon. Fortunately, after doing a training battle with Liko against Diana, Roy cheered up and understood that he had a long way to go in order to battle the Black Rayquaza. In the [[HZ034|next episode]], Roy and Liko overheard Diana's intentions to continue traveling alone. They decided to organize a surprise farewell party for her. Through the help of their teammates, Roy and Liko surprised Diana with the party, which she appreciated. Once they bid farewell to Diana, the Rising Volt Tacklers resumed their search for the remaining Six Heroes. However, Roy was informed by Friede that they were heading to Paldea first in order to gain information on Terapagos.

In ''[[HZ037|Fuecoco…Becomes a Crook?!]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers took on a job to deal with a group of {{p|Sandile}}, {{p|Krokorok}}, and {{p|Krookodile}} that were disturbing some {{OBP|archeologists|HZ037}}. Roy and Fuecoco eventually found the group and quickly befriended them upon learning they were a family trying to protect their {{pkmn|Egg}}s. When the archeologists' digging equipment disturbed the young Sandile, Krookodile and the Krokorok went on a rampage in order to destroy the machinery. By learning {{m|Disarming Voice}}, Fuecoco managed to calm its new friends down. Afterward, once the situation was explained to both parties, Krookodile and its family agreed to work alongside the archeologists.

In ''[[HZ042|Transform! Hero of the Seas, Palafin]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers successfully returned to Paldea. In the [[HZ043|following episode]], Roy and Liko were challenged to a battle by [[Coral]] and [[Sidian]], respectively. Fuecoco struggled to land any hits on Coral's {{p|Glalie}} due to it freezing the battlefield, but upon noticing Fuecoco's growing frustration, Roy commanded it to use Stomping Tantrum, creating an ice fence that sent Glalie flying. Impressed by her opponents' determination, Coral decided to stop holding back, only to be forcibly pulled away by Sidian for a mission involving the Black Rayquaza.

In ''[[HZ044|The Plan to Capture Rayquaza]]'', Coral, Sidian, and [[Chalce]] used a machine capable of recreating Terapagos's energy to summon the Black Rayquaza. While Dot worked on a kill program for the machine, Roy and Liko used their Pokémon to keep the Explorers distracted. Their efforts worked, but after Dot shut the machine down, Coral lost her temper and commanded her Glalie to use {{m|Self-Destruct}}. The attack collided with Rayquaza's {{m|Dragon Pulse}}, creating an explosion powerful enough to blast the {{pkmn|category|Sky High Pokémon}} directly into the hull of the Brave Olivine.
[[File:Roy and Nemona.png|left|250px|thumb|Roy and [[Nemona]]]]
In ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]'', the ship was safely docked while the Explorers retreated, realizing their operation was a failure. Hoping to convey Terapagos's desire to reach [[Laqua]], Roy, Liko, Friede, and Dot challenged Rayquaza to a battle, which it readily accepted. Amethio later joined the fray and teamed up with Friede, with them Terastallizing Ceruledge and {{TP|Friede|Charizard}}, respectively, but both were eventually defeated by a devastating {{m|Dragon Ascent}}. Roy and Liko confronted Rayquaza next, but despite Fuecoco learning {{m|Flame Charge}} and Sprigatito evolving into {{TP|Liko|Floragato}}, they were unable to do much against the Sky High Pokémon. After Rayquaza took off, the Rising Volt Tacklers regrouped. While the Brave Olivine underwent repairs, Roy, Liko, and Dot decided to become stronger by learning how to use the Terastal phenomenon as well.

In ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]'', Roy, Liko, and Dot were enrolled in [[Naranja Academy]] as part of the Terastal course. They each received a [[Tera Orb]] and were tasked with battling the Paldea [[Gym Leader]]s as part of their [[Tera Training]]. To Roy's excitement, Brassius was chosen as his opponent. Roy also met [[Ann]], Liko's friend from [[Indigo Academy]]. After watching Liko and Ann battle, Roy and his friends set off for Liko's battle against [[Katy]] in [[Cortondo]].

In ''[[HZ048|Sparkle! The Glow of Fire and Art!]]'', Roy, Liko, and Dot arrived in Artazon. Roy's Basics Test was temporarily postponed due to the town having its annual [[Artazon Art Festival]]. In the meantime, Roy faced Nemona in a battle, but was defeated. Frustrated, Roy asked to rematch Nemona, only for Brassius to suggest Roy participate in the festival in order to realize why he lost. Together, Roy and Fuecoco made a clay Charizard sculpture capable of breathing fire provided by Fuecoco's Flamethrower. This allowed Roy to realize he was failing to utilize any opportunity and resources in battles, impressing Brassius as a result. During his rematch with Brassius, Roy properly used strategies to see through Brassius's tactics, then defeated him after Terastallizing Fuecoco for the first time.

In ''[[HZ052|Wattrel's High Wind Warning!]]'', while looking for wild Pokémon to make a research report on, Roy noticed that Wattrel still struggled to fly properly in strong winds. That night, Roy and Fuecoco found that Wattrel had left their tent to go train in secret. The three also encountered [[Ryme]], a Trainer Roy bonded with over their shared love of music. The following morning, Roy found a wild {{p|Capsakid}} had gotten stuck on a cliff. Remembering words of encouragement Ryme gave it earlier, Wattrel worked up the courage to fly down and save the Capsakid despite the strong winds blowing in the area. When Roy slipped and fell off the ledge he was standing on, Wattrel immediately rushed in to save its Trainer, [[Evolution|evolving]] into {{p|Kilowattrel}} in the process.

[[File:Roy and Brassius.png|250px|thumb|Roy and [[Brassius]]]]
In ''[[HZ055|Showdown! The Paldea Elite Four]]'', Roy, Liko, and Dot participated in the [[Elite Four Tag Battle]] alongside the respective Gym Leaders they battled in their Basics Tests. Roy and Fuecoco teamed up with Brassius and his {{p|Dolliv}} to battle [[Hassel]]'s {{p|Baxcalibur}} and {{p|Flapple}}. Although both Trainers creatively combined their Pokémon's moves in a variety of ways, Fuecoco and Dolliv were eventually taken out by a {{a|Thermal Exchange}}-boosted {{m|Glaive Rush}} from Baxcalibur. Despite the loss, Roy promised Nemona that he would keep improving as a Trainer so he could one day face her in another battle.

In ''[[HZ057|Roy and Fuecoco's First Snow!]]'', Roy, Liko, Dot, and Friede met with [[Clavell]] and [[Geeta]], hoping to learn more about Terapagos from them. Although they didn't have much knowledge on the subject, Clavell and Geeta revealed that a sketch in the [[Scarlet Book]] depicted a third Terapagos form. Later, Roy and the others met another teacher, [[Raifort]], who provided them with some information on Laqua. Afterward, the students were each assigned a second Gym Leader to face as part of the implementation tests. Roy was paired with Ryme in [[Montenevera]], but the group decided to head to [[Medali]] first for Dot's battle against [[Larry]].

In ''[[HZ061|Resonating Spirits in a Challenge to Ryme!]]'', Roy and his friends arrived in Montenevera, where they reunited with Nemona. After defeating [[MC Sledge]] and his {{p|Sableye}}, Roy faced Ryme in a rap battle, where he impressed the Gym Leader with his skills. In the Terastal battle, Roy sent out Kilowattrel against Ryme's Houndstone, but it was quickly defeated. He then switched it out for Fuecoco, who managed to take out Houndstone after being encouraged by their song. When Ryme switched in her {{p|Toxtricity}}, it used its moves and {{a|Punk Rock}} Ability to negate all of Fuecoco's attacks. Backed into a corner, Roy Terastallized Fuecoco, but they were unable to launch a single attack before Toxtricity defeated them. Ryme scolded Roy for failing to utilize Fuecoco's strengths properly, failed him, and told Roy to challenge her again at a later time.

In ''[[HZ062|A New Song for Fuecoco]]'', Roy and Fuecoco participated in Nemona's [[Hyper Training]] session to prepare for their rematch with Ryme. While taking a break, Roy explained to the others how his love of singing came from the songs he and his parents sung together before they left on a long voyage together. Once their training had finished, Roy returned to Ryme and faced her in another battle. With a new song they created together, Roy and Fuecoco fared much better against Toxtricity, even forcing Ryme to Terastallize it. Eventually, Toxtricity was taken out by Fuecoco's Tera-boosted Flamethrower, giving Roy the victory and a passing grade on his exam. Afterward, Roy admitted that his and Fuecoco's song isn't for making them stronger in battle, it symbolizes the bond he and Fuecoco share. Ryme congratulated Roy on his victory, but noted how it's up to him whether or not Fuecoco reaches its full potential.

In ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]'', Roy, Liko, and Dot returned to the Naranja Academy, where Nemona informed them of the upcoming [[Course Students Battle Tournament]] to celebrate the end of the Tera Training course. Roy was then informed by Dot that the Explorers were trying to hack into the academy's systems to steal information on Terapagos. After splitting up, Roy found Coral and challenged her, Roy soon took the fight outside the classroom to prevent the destruction of student artworks, in which Coral followed in pursuit: after a clash of power between Fuecoco's Flamethrower and Glalie's {{m|Blizzard}}, the boy encouraged his Partner Pokémon, who ultimately outclassed his opponent and defeated Glalie, forcing Coral to retreat in anger. Later, after reuniting with Liko and Dot, the three were informed by [[Dendra]] that both Roy and Liko would face each other in the next round of the tournament.
[[File:HZ067.png|250px|left|thumb|Roy battling Liko in the [[Course Students Battle Tournament]]]]
In ''[[HZ067|Shine on, Terastallization! Liko vs. Roy!]]'', their fight begun, with their selected Pokémon being their first partners. After his Pokémon got into trouble due to Floragato's vine, Roy switched him for Kilowattrel, who took the lead thanks to its flight and speed and paralyzed Floragato, forcing Liko to recall it for {{TP|Liko|Hattrem}}. The latter tried to immobilize Kilowattrel with her psychic powers, but was still defeated, although she managed to cure the paralysis of her teammate thanks to her {{a|Healer}} [[Ability]]. Liko then ordered Floragato to trick the opponent with the vine before defeating him with {{m|Scratch}}. Roy sent Fuecoco back to the field, who after being encouraged by his Trainer, Ryme, and the crowd, evolved into {{p|Crocalor}}. Both Trainers Terastallized their Pokémon, but Crocalor prevailed and defeated Floragato, making Roy the winner of the battle.

In [[HZ068]], Raifort told Roy, Liko, and Dot about [[Briar]], a Terapagos researcher currently stationed in the land of [[Kitakami]]. Roy and the others boarded the fully-repaired Brave Olivine, where they received a tour of the ship's new additions. When Friede returned Lucius's belt and Ancient Poké Balls, Arboliva, Galarian Moltres, and Lapras came out and challenged the younger Rising Volt Tacklers members to a practice battle. Roy and Crocalor went up against Moltres, where after exchanging several attacks, Moltres returned to its Poké Ball, satisfied with Roy's progress. Later that night, the Brave Olivine reached Kitakami.

In [[HZ071]], Roy, Liko, Dot, and Friede arrived at the [[Crystal Pool]]. While Friede went off to fetch Briar, the children were attacked by a wild Terastallized {{p|Milotic}}. Through teamwork, Roy and the others managed to calm down and befriend the Milotic, which impressed Briar, who had returned with Friede just as the battle concluded. Roy's group and Briar had a discussion on Terapagos, its forms, and its connection to [[Area Zero]]. Once night fell, Briar suggested using the Crystal Pool's legendary ability to allow people to see those that have passed on. Terapagos tried to summon Lucius's spirit, but nothing happened. Afterward, Roy's group said farewell to Briar and returned to the Brave Olivine. Later, Dot introduced the Rising Volt Tacklers to [[Perrin]], a photographer who saw [[Lucius's Kleavor]].

In [[HZ072]], Roy, Liko, Dot, Friede, and Perrin traveled to [[Tengu Mountain]], where the latter found Kleavor. Roy and Crocalor were separated from the others when they fell into an underground cave. Once they escaped and reunited with the others, everyone decided to use scratches left in the terrain to determine where Kleavor resided, oblivious to the fact that it had been watching them.

In [[HZ073]], once Roy and the others successfully tracked Kleavor down, Lapras emerged from its Poké Ball to greet its old friend. Liko and Lapras asked Kleavor to join the Rising Volt Tacklers on their quest, to which it responded by entering a nearby cave. Roy, Liko, and Dot traversed the cave, eventually finding Kleavor waiting for them inside a bamboo grove. Realizing Kleavor aimed to test their might, Roy and the others accepted its challenge and sent out their Pokémon to face it. After a long battle over various terrains, Kleavor emerged victorious over Roy, Liko, and Dot's Terastallized Pokémon. Despite their loss, Kleavor acknowledged Roy and the others' strength and entered its Ancient Poké Ball. As they returned to the Brave Olivine, Roy and the others said goodbye to Perrin.
[[File:OPJ32 Rotom Photo HZ083.png|thumb|right|170px|the Rising Volt Tacklers battle [[Black Rayquaza|Rayquaza]] again]]
In [[HZ078]], Roy and his friends went to [[Johto]] to search for Lucius's {{DL|Six Heroes|Entei}}. After finding it, they battled Entei on a volcanic island, only to discover it was not Lucius's Entei but a wild one. Upon hearing Briar's discovery of what could be Lucius's Entei in [[Area Zero]], the group returned to Paldea. In [[HZ079]], Roy, Liko, and Dot battled Geeta in a 1 v 3 battle to show that they were strong enough to survive against the [[Paradox Pokémon]]. After a long teamwork, Liko's Floragato and Geeta's {{p|Glimmora}} left standing, with Floragato eventually emerging victorous thanks to her {{a|Overgrow}} ability. In this way, the Rising Volt Tacklers were granted permission to enter the Area Zero area to search for Lucius's Entei.

In [[HZ081]], Roy and his friends battled against Lucius's Entei, which turned out to be a Gouging Fire, after passing Gouging Fire's trial with an intense battle, Gouging Fire returned to its Ancient Poké Ball. Afterwards the remaining Six Heroes summoned the Black Rayquaza to Area Zero, much to Roy and his friends shock. In [[HZ082]], Roy and his friends battled against Rayquaza once more. Despite putting up a tough fight with great strategies, Rayquaza defeated most of the group's Pokemon, leaving Crocalor and Pagogo to battle Rayquaza. After Pagogo dealt massive damage to Rayquaza, it used its remaining strength to Terastallize Crocalor for a final assault, Roy commanded Crocalor for a final Flame Charge which weakened Rayquaza enough for Roy to recapture it into its Ancient Poké Ball, fulfilling his dream. Despite recapturing Rayquaza, Roy realized his new goal was to have Rayquaza acknowledge him to be worthy of being its Trainer. He and the Rising Volt Tacklers then followed Rayquaza in search for Laqua.

In [[HZ086]], Roy battled against Coral in Laqua, despite his opponent's use of a powerful Terastallized Paradox Pokemon, Roy and Crocalor were ultimately able to outsmart and defeat their opponents.

In [[HZ089]], a year after the incident in Laqua, Roy took custody of Captain Pikachu and also acquired a shiny {{TP|Roy|Lucario}}.

===Character===
[[File:Roy and Grandfather.png|250px|thumb|left|Roy and [[Roy's grandfather|his grandfather]]]]
Roy is an upbeat and energetic boy who likes to go hunting for treasures. Adventurous by nature, Roy seeks to start a journey to meet Pokémon he has not seen and see the world, just like the fabled [[Lucius|Ancient Adventurer]] he has heard about from his {{TP|Roy|grandfather}}. Although he starts inexperienced about the inner workings of being a [[Pokémon Trainer]], he is nonetheless adept at other related activities, such as building [[Secret Base]]s, and an expert in stone throwing, being able to ricochet pebbles for long distances to cut {{Berries}} from trees and create distractions, which makes his {{i|Poké Ball}} throws very accurate. Roy also seems to enjoy mysteries and doesn't rest until he’s solved them.

He is shown to enjoy singing and eating, especially berries and spicy food. Roy's enjoyment of berries and spicy flavored foods is also shown in his [[curry]], as seen in ''[[HZ027|As Long as I'm with My Friends]]'', as most of the ingredients he uses are spicy flavored and berries. However, despite berries and spicy stuff being his favorite food, Roy does like certain other types of foods, such as sweets. Roy also gets excited to eat in general, as seen in ''[[HZ019|The Bittersweet Truth]]'', when he and Fuecoco got excited to eat all the sweets that [[Murdock]] and {{OBP|Mitchell|HZ019}} made from their unexpected bake-off. In addition to being a good singer, Roy is a skilled rapper. As revealed in ''[[HZ062|A New Song for Fuecoco]]'', Roy's love for singing comes from his parents, as they used to sing together whenever he was with them on their cargo ship, and even long after they had left, he would bond with the island Pokémon this way. He continues to use his newfound passion for singing as a means to not only have fun but improve his bond with Fuecoco, as he came up with a new song and battle tactic that is less predictable and stronger than before, allowing him and Fuecoco to win their rematch against [[Ryme]] in the same episode and fully gaining her respect to the point where she hyped up the crowd along with Roy when him and Fuecoco starting singing during his battle against [[Liko]] in ''[[HZ067|Shine on, Terastallization! Liko vs. Roy!]]''.
[[File:Liko_Roy_Dot.png|thumb|250px|Roy, Liko, and Dot]]
After befriending and spending time with Fuecoco and Liko, Roy learns that the feelings of the Trainer and the Pokémon have to coincide in order for a partnership to be born. Roy is also shown to be passionate about Pokémon, particularly [[Legendary Pokémon]], with his dream being to meet and battle them, much like the Ancient Adventurer, who managed to catch the {{Shiny|Black}} [[Black Rayquaza|Rayquaza]]. In addition, Roy would help any Pokémon in trouble as he would solve or work out their problems. Due to living on an island for most of his life, Roy can get excited to see various places for the first time. However, despite this, Roy does have social skills as he isn't shy to talk with people or Pokémon. Although, Roy can be oblivious when it comes to the field of romance until someone points it out to him. Roy also enjoys being around nature, and often does his online classes in various spots on the island, with him deciding to make the battlefield on the Brave Olivine his main place to do them.
[[File:Roy parents.png|thumb|250px|left|Roy and [[Roy's parents|his parents]]]]
Roy shares a close relationship with his grandfather, as he raised and took care of him growing up. Since meeting [[Friede]] in ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', Roy began to show admiration for him, as he looks up to him for both his skills and knowledge as Pokémon Trainer and [[Pokémon Professor|Professor]]. Roy also takes inspiration from Friede, as seen in ''[[HZ017|Special Training Time!]]'', when he was inspired by his Pokémon training together and decided to do the same thing for his Pokémon. In addition, Roy seems to have a great relationship with the rest of his teammates. However, out of all of his teammates, Roy seems to have a special relationship with Liko and [[Dot]], as he often hangs out with them and enjoys their company. Throughout their journey, they would support each other, usually training together to become both better Trainers and versions of themselves. Roy also would go to Liko and Dot for advice whenever he is stuck in a jam.

Ever since the events in ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', Roy took an interest in Pokémon battles and enjoys them, but lacked experiences and tended to be reckless while relying on brute force. However, thanks to the help of others, Roy has shown gradual improvement in his skills. His potential as a battler even got the attention of [[Pokémon Champion|Champion]]-ranked Trainer [[Nemona (anime)|Nemona]], which lead to them to developing a friendly rivalry, where she desires to battle him often and frequently watches his important battles as well as help him train for upcoming ones. Roy has also learned that having his Pokémon train with each other not only helps them become stronger, but also would help strengthen both their friendship and teamwork, as seen in ''[[HZ017|Special Training Time!]]''. In addition, Roy learns that failure in a Pokémon battle is part of a Trainers growth in order to improve. At first, Roy was only focusing on the battle and not everything around him. However, through [[Brassius]]'s advice in ''[[HZ048|Sparkle! The Glow of Fire and Art!]]'', Roy realizes that using everything around him such as the environment and small details of Pokemon can help him in battle. Overtime, Roy has learnt to strategise and adapt better during battles to avoid becoming too predictable, getting caught off guard or overwhelmed by his opponent, allowing him to win more often. He also no longer panics during battles, remaining calm and confident while guiding his Pokémon. This is especially shown in [[HZ068]] where he effortlessly commanded his {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}} whenever he was scared or distressed against [[Lucius's Moltres|Lucius’s Moltres]]. However, Roy will still struggle to focus during a battle if something is genuinely weighing on his mind, as shown in ''[[HZ065|Liko and Amethio]]'', when Liko went missing, as he and Dot were unable to put a one hundread percent into their battle against the [[Explorers]] because they were worried about her safety.

Roy has shown to be somewhat of an amateur artist. His artistic ability is displayed whenever he crafted cardboard cutouts of Pokémon for training purposes as shown in ''[[HZ014|Fly! Wattrel!!]]'' and in ''[[HZ037|Fuecoco…Becomes a Crook?!]]'', as well as when he and Fuecoco presented an impressive {{p|Charizard}} sculpture that represented their respective dreams during the [[Artazon Art Festival]]. This has allowed him to form a close mentor-student relationship with Brassius and even gain the respect of [[Hassel]]. His artistic nature is even shown in battle as seen in ''[[HZ055|Showdown! The Paldea Elite Four]]'' when he combined his Fuecoco's moves with the moves of Brassius's {{p|Dolliv}}, creating a spectacular display. Additionally, his fondness and appreciation for art also stretches to the works of other people, like when he was the first to compliment Brassius’s Black Rayquaza sculpture in ''[[HZ010|Nemona and Brassius and…]]'', or when he moved his battle against [[Coral]] outside in ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]'' to prevent the other students’ artworks from getting burnt during their fight.

As early as ''[[HZ013|An Unexpected Picnic!]]'', Roy has displayed an eagerness for taking photos on his [[Rotom Phone]], wanting to capture special moments with his friends and Pokémon during his journey. This was later emphasised in ''[[HZ061|Resonating Spirits in a Challenge to Ryme!]]'', when he and Fuecoco looked back fondly at different photos that were taken up until that point, with Roy even getting another photo alongside his Pokémon partners and the wild Pokémon he befriended on [[Glaseado Mountain]] in the same episode.

===Pokémon===
[[File:Roy party.png|thumb|250px|Roy and his Pokémon]]
Roy's team consist of gluttons and had various problems, which was either fear or insecurities. However, Roy was able to help his Pokémon overcome their fears and insecurities, such as his {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}}'s (while he was a {{p|Fuecoco}}) embarrassment of singing in front of others and [[Roy's Kilowattrel|Kilowattrel]]'s (while it was a {{p|Wattrel}}) fear of heights. Roy's Pokémon also look up to [[Friede]]'s Pokémon, due to them being a {{t|Fire}} and {{type|Electric}}.

==Trivia ==
*Roy was originally designed by [[Ken Sugimori]] before being adapted for the animated series by the series' character designers.<ref name=anipoke20230303>[https://twitter.com/anipoke_PR/status/1631603322170769409 Tweet by アニメ「ポケットモンスター」公式 (@anipoke_PR).] Posted on March 3, 2023.</ref><ref name=LikoRoyConcept>[https://natalie.mu/comic/gallery/news/515226/2010334 Concept art on Natalie] (the concept art's file name is "riko_roy_sugimori.jpg")</ref>
*Roy has a stylized {{p|Unown}} “R” on his shirt, which directly alludes to his name.
*Roy is the first:
**Male main character to keep his Japanese name in the English dub of the animated series.
**Male main character to own a Pokémon that debuted before him, as {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} debuted one episode before [[HZ003|Roy's debut]].
**Main human character that didn't debut in the first episode of his series since {{an|Cilan}}.
**Main character to have obtained or caught a [[first partner Pokémon]] as their first Pokémon in their home region since {{an|Serena}}, who obtained her {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}} in ''[[XY004|A Shocking Cheeky Friendship!]]'', 435 episodes earlier.
**[[Rising Volt Tacklers]] member to defeat a [[Gym Leader]] in a [[Pokémon battle]].
**Male main character other than {{Ash}} to:
***Battle a member of the [[Elite Four]] onscreen.
***Defeat a {{pkmn|Champion}}.
***Be able to use more then one battle technique.
**Main character to catch a [[Shiny Pokémon]] offscreen.
*Roy's name was changed in the German, Spanish, French, and Portuguese localizations of the animated series, presumably due to a naming conflict with [[Raihan]], one of the [[Gym Leader]]s in {{g|Sword and Shield}}, who is named "Roy" in those languages. His name was also changed in the Korean localization of the animated series, presumably due to a naming conflict with [[James]], who is named "Roy" in that language.
*When {{Tera}}stallizing his {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}}, Roy uses the phrase '''sparkle, gem of dreams''' (Japanese: '''輝け、夢の結晶''' ''shine bright, crystallization of our dreams'').
*Roy's in-game [[Trainer ID number]] is 230512, the Japanese air date of ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]''.

===History===
[[File:Young Roy.png|250px|left|thumb|Young Roy]]
====Pre-series====
Roy grew up on an [[Roy's hometown|island]] in the [[Kanto]] region with his [[Roy's parents|parents]] and [[Roy's grandfather|grandfather]]. During his childhood, Roy would travel with his parents on a cargo ship and his grandfather would tell the story of a [[Lucius|Legendary Adventurer]], which inspired him to become a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. Sometime later, Roy was left under his grandfather's care when his parents went traveling on their own for business, as he received a mysterious {{i|Poké Ball}} from his grandfather and decided to undercover the mystery of it. Also, Roy would sing to himself until a group of wild Pokémon heard him and followed him.
{{left clear}}

====''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''====
Roy debuted in ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]''. In the morning after [[HZ002|a storm]], he ran to the beach, where he found the flag missing from the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]' [[Brave Olivine|airship]].

In ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', it was revealed that Roy attends virtual school and that he couldn't catch a Pokémon because there were no Pokémon Trainers on the island. After noticing that his [[Secret Base]] had been raided, Roy came across a {{p|Fuecoco}} and befriended it. Soon, they heard a commotion nearby and ran towards it to find [[Liko]] and {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} running from a group of [[wild Pokémon]]. Despite their best efforts to escape, however, they were cornered and tied up by multiple {{m|String Shot}}s until [[Friede]] came to their rescue. Afterwards, Roy and Fuecoco parted ways.

Wanting to meet Fuecoco again, Roy [[HZ005|snuck on the Brave Olivine]], but he got zapped by [[Captain Pikachu]], waking up everyone on the aircraft in the process. Roy wanted Fuecoco to be his partner, but Friede told him that Fuecoco had to reciprocate those feelings as well. He and Liko searched all over the Brave Asagi, and while they weren't able to find Fuecoco that night, Roy decided to leave it some [[Oran Berry|Oran Berries]]. In the next day, Roy stumbled upon an agitated Fuecoco, who told him that there was trouble brewing at the Brave Olivine. At the beach, Roy partnered with Fuecoco to battle against [[Zirc]] and his {{p|Rhydon}}. By chanting alongside the Fire Croc Pokémon, Roy helped Fuecoco to successfully fire off an {{m|Ember}}.
[[File:Roy RVT.png|thumb|250px|Roy joining the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]]]
In ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', Roy battled against [[Amethio]] for the first time and, even alongside Liko, was quickly overwhelmed by his strength. When {{TP|Amethio|Ceruledge}} was about to finish off Fuecoco and Sprigatito, Roy's Ancient Poké Ball started to shine brightly and released a {{Shiny|Black}} [[Black Rayquaza|Rayquaza]], who fired a {{m|Draco Meteor}} that forced the [[Explorers]] to retreat and flew away. Later that day, Roy opened his heart to Fuecoco, confessing that he wanted it to be his partner. Fuecoco reciprocated those feelings and spat out a Poké Ball that Friede's {{p|Charizard}} gave it, allowing Roy to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it. After stating he wanted to realize both his and {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}}'s dreams, his grandfather allowed him to go out on his [[Pokémon journey]] with the Rising Volt Tacklers.

In ''[[HZ007|Special Training with Cap!]]'', Liko and Roy had a sparring battle, which ended with both of their Pokémon just exhausting themselves. After a training session with [[Captain Pikachu]], they had another battle, which went much better. Although Roy ended up losing, he wasn't dejected, and promised to battle Liko again later.

In ''[[HZ009|Welcome to Paldea!]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers landed in [[Paldea]]. In [[HZ010|the following episode]], Roy and Liko visited [[Artazon]] to meet [[Gym Leader]] [[Brassius]], who had supposedly seen the Black Rayquaza. Brassius eventually admitted this to have been the case, with the encounter having left him in an artistic slump, as he felt his Rayquaza statue was not as good as the real thing. Roy, however, thought Brassius's statue looked just as good as the actual Rayquaza. After hearing how Rayquaza had been the inspiration behind his journey, Brassius challenged Roy to a battle to see if he was worthy of facing Rayquaza. During the battle, Brassius told Roy to remember to keep an eye on his own Pokémon, allowing Roy to spot that Fuecoco had just learned {{m|Stomping Tantrum}}. Despite this new [[move]], however, Fuecoco was still defeated after Brassius {{Tera}}stallized his {{p|Sudowoodo}}, ending the match in Roy's loss. After the battle, Roy expressed interest in getting to try out using the Terastal phenomenon himself. After learning that Brassius saw the Black Rayquaza flying over [[Arboliva's Forest]], Roy and Liko decided to make it their next destination.

In ''[[HZ011|Arboliva's Forest]]'', [[Nemona]] led Roy and Liko to Arboliva's Forest, only to find part of it burned down after a lightning strike started a wildfire. While searching the area, Roy came across a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{TP|Lucius|Arboliva}} with an Ancient Poké Ball. Mistakenly assuming the pair were trying to harm the Pokémon living in the forest, Arboliva began attacking Roy and Liko. While Roy and Liko kept Arboliva distracted, [[Mollie]] treated an injured {{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Wooper}}, calming Arboliva down. In the [[HZ012|following episode]], the Rising Volt Tacklers held a successful group effort to replant the damaged part of the forest. Liko's pendant briefly transformed into a mysterious Pokémon just before Arboliva returned to its Ancient Poké Ball.
[[File:Roy catches Wattrel.png|thumb|250px|left|Roy catches {{TP|Roy|Wattrel}}]]
In ''[[HZ013|An Unexpected Picnic!]]'', a {{p|Wattrel}} stole a [[sandwich]] that Roy had made for Fuecoco. Roy chased after Wattrel, until it reached a cliff, where it turned around to face Fuecoco. After a brief confrontation, Roy agreed to share the sandwich, only for Wattrel to steal both halves of it. Soon after, Roy noticed that Wattrel wasn't flying away with others of its kind. In the [[HZ014|next episode]], Roy sought Wattrel out again in order to help it learn to fly. Wattrel's fear of heights made this hard, so Roy eventually got the idea of using [[Ludlow]]'s [[fishing]] rod to support Wattrel mid-air while it attempted to fly. This strategy eventually succeeded, allowing Wattrel to fly as high as the others of its kind. Happy to see Wattrel flying, Roy was about to leave, only for Wattrel to fly after him. Taking this as a sign that Wattrel wanted to be caught by Roy, [[Murdock]] gave him a {{i|Poké Ball}} to do so. When a sudden gust of wind threw Wattrel off-balance, Roy threw the Poké Ball at it before it could hit the ground, saving it and adding it to his [[party|team]].
[[File:Liko Roy Dot Paldean first partners.png|thumb|250px|Roy, [[Liko]], and [[Dot]] battling the [[Explorers]]]]
In ''[[HZ015|Someone We Can't See! Whosawhatsit?]]'', Roy was informed that Liko went missing while shopping, so he and the Rising Volt Tacklers went looking for her. However, Roy wondered off when his Wattrel ran to chase after a {{p|Corvisquire}} until they went to [[Levincia]] City. After meeting up with Friede, Roy met [[Dot]] for the first time and went looking for Liko, being able to find her. Roy was then informed that Liko had her pendant stolen and they agreed to get it back. In the [[HZ016|next episode]], Roy and his friends found [[Spinel]], the one who stole the object, and then battled him. After Liko got her pendant back, Roy and his friends made their escape thanks to Arboliva.

In ''[[HZ017|Special Training Time!]]'', Roy decided to train his Pokémon in teamwork in the hopes of helping his Fuecoco and Wattrel get along better, due to their constant arguing. Roy asked Friede to battle them, which he accepted. However, due to Fuecoco and Wattrel lack of teamwork, Roy lost the match. The boy then decided to train his Pokémon and was able to get them to work together. Next, he asked Friede a rematch but, although Fuecoco and Wattrel's teamwork improved, Roy lost to Friede again.

In [[HZ018|next episode]], Roy and his friends got curious as to how Captain Pikachu was able to fly during his battle against him. Although they asked Friede for answers, they couldn't get the information they wanted. However, Roy and his friends refused to give up as they decided to ask the rest of the members, but couldn't get an answer from them either. Despite this, Roy and his friends curiosity did get the rest of the members curious as well. They all decided to ask Friede for answers, as they were able to convince him into telling them as to how he met Captain Pikachu and the formation of the Rising Volt Tacklers.

In ''[[HZ020|Kabu's Battle Training!]]'', Roy arrived at [[Motostoke Stadium]] with Liko in order to get some information about the Black Rayquaza from [[Motostoke]] Gym Leader [[Kabu]], due to being from [[Hoenn]]. However, Roy and Liko receive some training from Kabu then did a tag battle against him. Despite Fuecoco learning {{m|Flamethrower}}, Roy lost to Kabu while Liko forfeited because she felt bad for her opponent, {{OBP|Wakaba|HZ020}}. After the battle, Roy and Liko found out through Kabu that the Black Rayquaza is at the [[Galar Mine]].

In ''[[HZ022|Charge! Galar Mine!]]'', Roy with Liko and Friede arrived at the Galar Mine, but got separated from them. However, Roy was able to meet back up with Liko and encounter the Explores again. During the battle, Roy and his friends met a {{rf|Galarian}} {{TP|Lucius|Moltres}} that had an Ancient Poké Ball, which got him to realize that its one of Lucius's Pokémon. Unfortunately, Roy and Liko were forced to retreat when Moltres proved to be too strong and Captain Pikachu was injured as they left the mine. In the [[HZ023|next episode]], Roy and Liko arrived at the [[Pokémon Center]] in [[Motostoke]] where they reunited with Friede and agreed to battle Moltres again. After finding Moltres again at the Galar Mine, Roy battled the Legendary Pokémon again in order to calm it down. After Moltres calmed down, Roy witnessed the Legendary Pokémon return to Ancient Poké Ball, as Liko took it under her care.

In ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]'', Roy, Liko, and Friede arrived at [[Hammerlocke]] in order to find an [[Old Castle]] that [[Diana]], Liko's grandmother, was at. Through her {{p|Squawkabilly}}, Roy and his friends were able to find her. They hung out at the castle until the Explorers, who have been following them, arrived at their location. In the [[HZ025|next episode]], Roy and Liko tried to escape the Explorers, but were forced to battle Zirc and Onia, being able to defeat them. After the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived, Roy and his friends were able to escape from the Explorers.

In ''[[HZ031|Song Within the Mist]]'', Roy joined his friends and Ludlow in finding a {{TP|Lucius|Lapras}}, who happened to be one of Lucius's Pokémon, after they got a led through a ship crew that saw the Transport Pokémon. Fortunately, Roy, Liko, Dot, and Ludlow were able to find Lapras, but they failed to get it to come out, as it was covered by the {{m|Mist}} and two Pokémon appeared on the ship. When Friede devised a plan to get Lapras back, Roy and Liko stayed on the deck to wait for the Transport Pokémon. Through the Professor and Captain Pikachu, the two saw Lapras with battle scars and other various Pokémon on a {{p|Wailord}}, who also had scars as well. In the [[HZ032|next episode]], Roy joined Liko and Friede in going after Lapras and, after convincing it that they were friends, the Transport Pokémon returned to its Ancient Poké Ball and Liko took it under her care. However, before setting off, Roy and his friends witnessed the Black Rayquaza arriving at their location.

In ''[[HZ033|Roar of the Black Rayquaza]]'', Roy attempted to battle the Black Rayquaza, but couldn't because Amethio arrived to battle it and {{TP|Liko|Terapagos}} transformed in order to protect its friends. However, after Terapagos collapsed and the Black Rayquaza left, Roy was depressed that he didn't get to battle the Legendary Pokémon. Fortunately, after doing a training battle with Liko against Diana, Roy cheered up and understood that he had a long way to go in order to battle the Black Rayquaza. In the [[HZ034|next episode]], Roy and Liko overheard Diana's intentions to continue traveling alone. They decided to organize a surprise farewell party for her. Through the help of their teammates, Roy and Liko surprised Diana with the party, which she appreciated. Once they bid farewell to Diana, the Rising Volt Tacklers resumed their search for the remaining Six Heroes. However, Roy was informed by Friede that they were heading to Paldea first in order to gain information on Terapagos.

In ''[[HZ037|Fuecoco…Becomes a Crook?!]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers took on a job to deal with a group of {{p|Sandile}}, {{p|Krokorok}}, and {{p|Krookodile}} that were disturbing some {{OBP|archeologists|HZ037}}. Roy and Fuecoco eventually found the group and quickly befriended them upon learning they were a family trying to protect their {{pkmn|Egg}}s. When the archeologists' digging equipment disturbed the young Sandile, Krookodile and the Krokorok went on a rampage in order to destroy the machinery. By learning {{m|Disarming Voice}}, Fuecoco managed to calm its new friends down. Afterward, once the situation was explained to both parties, Krookodile and its family agreed to work alongside the archeologists.

In ''[[HZ042|Transform! Hero of the Seas, Palafin]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers successfully returned to Paldea. In the [[HZ043|following episode]], Roy and Liko were challenged to a battle by [[Coral]] and [[Sidian]], respectively. Fuecoco struggled to land any hits on Coral's {{p|Glalie}} due to it freezing the battlefield, but upon noticing Fuecoco's growing frustration, Roy commanded it to use Stomping Tantrum, creating an ice fence that sent Glalie flying. Impressed by her opponents' determination, Coral decided to stop holding back, only to be forcibly pulled away by Sidian for a mission involving the Black Rayquaza.

In ''[[HZ044|The Plan to Capture Rayquaza]]'', Coral, Sidian, and [[Chalce]] used a machine capable of recreating Terapagos's energy to summon the Black Rayquaza. While Dot worked on a kill program for the machine, Roy and Liko used their Pokémon to keep the Explorers distracted. Their efforts worked, but after Dot shut the machine down, Coral lost her temper and commanded her Glalie to use {{m|Self-Destruct}}. The attack collided with Rayquaza's {{m|Dragon Pulse}}, creating an explosion powerful enough to blast the {{pkmn|category|Sky High Pokémon}} directly into the hull of the Brave Olivine.
[[File:Roy and Nemona.png|left|250px|thumb|Roy and [[Nemona]]]]
In ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]'', the ship was safely docked while the Explorers retreated, realizing their operation was a failure. Hoping to convey Terapagos's desire to reach [[Laqua]], Roy, Liko, Friede, and Dot challenged Rayquaza to a battle, which it readily accepted. Amethio later joined the fray and teamed up with Friede, with them Terastallizing Ceruledge and {{TP|Friede|Charizard}}, respectively, but both were eventually defeated by a devastating {{m|Dragon Ascent}}. Roy and Liko confronted Rayquaza next, but despite Fuecoco learning {{m|Flame Charge}} and Sprigatito evolving into {{TP|Liko|Floragato}}, they were unable to do much against the Sky High Pokémon. After Rayquaza took off, the Rising Volt Tacklers regrouped. While the Brave Olivine underwent repairs, Roy, Liko, and Dot decided to become stronger by learning how to use the Terastal phenomenon as well.

In ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]'', Roy, Liko, and Dot were enrolled in [[Naranja Academy]] as part of the Terastal course. They each received a [[Tera Orb]] and were tasked with battling the Paldea [[Gym Leader]]s as part of their [[Tera Training]]. To Roy's excitement, Brassius was chosen as his opponent. Roy also met [[Ann]], Liko's friend from [[Indigo Academy]]. After watching Liko and Ann battle, Roy and his friends set off for Liko's battle against [[Katy]] in [[Cortondo]].

In ''[[HZ048|Sparkle! The Glow of Fire and Art!]]'', Roy, Liko, and Dot arrived in Artazon. Roy's Basics Test was temporarily postponed due to the town having its annual [[Artazon Art Festival]]. In the meantime, Roy faced Nemona in a battle, but was defeated. Frustrated, Roy asked to rematch Nemona, only for Brassius to suggest Roy participate in the festival in order to realize why he lost. Together, Roy and Fuecoco made a clay Charizard sculpture capable of breathing fire provided by Fuecoco's Flamethrower. This allowed Roy to realize he was failing to utilize any opportunity and resources in battles, impressing Brassius as a result. During his rematch with Brassius, Roy properly used strategies to see through Brassius's tactics, then defeated him after Terastallizing Fuecoco for the first time.

In ''[[HZ052|Wattrel's High Wind Warning!]]'', while looking for wild Pokémon to make a research report on, Roy noticed that Wattrel still struggled to fly properly in strong winds. That night, Roy and Fuecoco found that Wattrel had left their tent to go train in secret. The three also encountered [[Ryme]], a Trainer Roy bonded with over their shared love of music. The following morning, Roy found a wild {{p|Capsakid}} had gotten stuck on a cliff. Remembering words of encouragement Ryme gave it earlier, Wattrel worked up the courage to fly down and save the Capsakid despite the strong winds blowing in the area. When Roy slipped and fell off the ledge he was standing on, Wattrel immediately rushed in to save its Trainer, [[Evolution|evolving]] into {{p|Kilowattrel}} in the process.

[[File:Roy and Brassius.png|250px|thumb|Roy and [[Brassius]]]]
In ''[[HZ055|Showdown! The Paldea Elite Four]]'', Roy, Liko, and Dot participated in the [[Elite Four Tag Battle]] alongside the respective Gym Leaders they battled in their Basics Tests. Roy and Fuecoco teamed up with Brassius and his {{p|Dolliv}} to battle [[Hassel]]'s {{p|Baxcalibur}} and {{p|Flapple}}. Although both Trainers creatively combined their Pokémon's moves in a variety of ways, Fuecoco and Dolliv were eventually taken out by a {{a|Thermal Exchange}}-boosted {{m|Glaive Rush}} from Baxcalibur. Despite the loss, Roy promised Nemona that he would keep improving as a Trainer so he could one day face her in another battle.

In ''[[HZ057|Roy and Fuecoco's First Snow!]]'', Roy, Liko, Dot, and Friede met with [[Clavell]] and [[Geeta]], hoping to learn more about Terapagos from them. Although they didn't have much knowledge on the subject, Clavell and Geeta revealed that a sketch in the [[Scarlet Book]] depicted a third Terapagos form. Later, Roy and the others met another teacher, [[Raifort]], who provided them with some information on Laqua. Afterward, the students were each assigned a second Gym Leader to face as part of the implementation tests. Roy was paired with Ryme in [[Montenevera]], but the group decided to head to [[Medali]] first for Dot's battle against [[Larry]].

In ''[[HZ061|Resonating Spirits in a Challenge to Ryme!]]'', Roy and his friends arrived in Montenevera, where they reunited with Nemona. After defeating [[MC Sledge]] and his {{p|Sableye}}, Roy faced Ryme in a rap battle, where he impressed the Gym Leader with his skills. In the Terastal battle, Roy sent out Kilowattrel against Ryme's Houndstone, but it was quickly defeated. He then switched it out for Fuecoco, who managed to take out Houndstone after being encouraged by their song. When Ryme switched in her {{p|Toxtricity}}, it used its moves and {{a|Punk Rock}} Ability to negate all of Fuecoco's attacks. Backed into a corner, Roy Terastallized Fuecoco, but they were unable to launch a single attack before Toxtricity defeated them. Ryme scolded Roy for failing to utilize Fuecoco's strengths properly, failed him, and told Roy to challenge her again at a later time.

In ''[[HZ062|A New Song for Fuecoco]]'', Roy and Fuecoco participated in Nemona's [[Hyper Training]] session to prepare for their rematch with Ryme. While taking a break, Roy explained to the others how his love of singing came from the songs he and his parents sung together before they left on a long voyage together. Once their training had finished, Roy returned to Ryme and faced her in another battle. With a new song they created together, Roy and Fuecoco fared much better against Toxtricity, even forcing Ryme to Terastallize it. Eventually, Toxtricity was taken out by Fuecoco's Tera-boosted Flamethrower, giving Roy the victory and a passing grade on his exam. Afterward, Roy admitted that his and Fuecoco's song isn't for making them stronger in battle, it symbolizes the bond he and Fuecoco share. Ryme congratulated Roy on his victory, but noted how it's up to him whether or not Fuecoco reaches its full potential.

In ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]'', Roy, Liko, and Dot returned to the Naranja Academy, where Nemona informed them of the upcoming [[Course Students Battle Tournament]] to celebrate the end of the Tera Training course. Roy was then informed by Dot that the Explorers were trying to hack into the academy's systems to steal information on Terapagos. After splitting up, Roy found Coral and challenged her, Roy soon took the fight outside the classroom to prevent the destruction of student artworks, in which Coral followed in pursuit: after a clash of power between Fuecoco's Flamethrower and Glalie's {{m|Blizzard}}, the boy encouraged his Partner Pokémon, who ultimately outclassed his opponent and defeated Glalie, forcing Coral to retreat in anger. Later, after reuniting with Liko and Dot, the three were informed by [[Dendra]] that both Roy and Liko would face each other in the next round of the tournament.
[[File:HZ067.png|250px|left|thumb|Roy battling Liko in the [[Course Students Battle Tournament]]]]
In ''[[HZ067|Shine on, Terastallization! Liko vs. Roy!]]'', their fight begun, with their selected Pokémon being their first partners. After his Pokémon got into trouble due to Floragato's vine, Roy switched him for Kilowattrel, who took the lead thanks to its flight and speed and paralyzed Floragato, forcing Liko to recall it for {{TP|Liko|Hattrem}}. The latter tried to immobilize Kilowattrel with her psychic powers, but was still defeated, although she managed to cure the paralysis of her teammate thanks to her {{a|Healer}} [[Ability]]. Liko then ordered Floragato to trick the opponent with the vine before defeating him with {{m|Scratch}}. Roy sent Fuecoco back to the field, who after being encouraged by his Trainer, Ryme, and the crowd, evolved into {{p|Crocalor}}. Both Trainers Terastallized their Pokémon, but Crocalor prevailed and defeated Floragato, making Roy the winner of the battle.

In [[HZ068]], Raifort told Roy, Liko, and Dot about [[Briar]], a Terapagos researcher currently stationed in the land of [[Kitakami]]. Roy and the others boarded the fully-repaired Brave Olivine, where they received a tour of the ship's new additions. When Friede returned Lucius's belt and Ancient Poké Balls, Arboliva, Galarian Moltres, and Lapras came out and challenged the younger Rising Volt Tacklers members to a practice battle. Roy and Crocalor went up against Moltres, where after exchanging several attacks, Moltres returned to its Poké Ball, satisfied with Roy's progress. Later that night, the Brave Olivine reached Kitakami.

In [[HZ071]], Roy, Liko, Dot, and Friede arrived at the [[Crystal Pool]]. While Friede went off to fetch Briar, the children were attacked by a wild Terastallized {{p|Milotic}}. Through teamwork, Roy and the others managed to calm down and befriend the Milotic, which impressed Briar, who had returned with Friede just as the battle concluded. Roy's group and Briar had a discussion on Terapagos, its forms, and its connection to [[Area Zero]]. Once night fell, Briar suggested using the Crystal Pool's legendary ability to allow people to see those that have passed on. Terapagos tried to summon Lucius's spirit, but nothing happened. Afterward, Roy's group said farewell to Briar and returned to the Brave Olivine. Later, Dot introduced the Rising Volt Tacklers to [[Perrin]], a photographer who saw [[Lucius's Kleavor]].

In [[HZ072]], Roy, Liko, Dot, Friede, and Perrin traveled to [[Tengu Mountain]], where the latter found Kleavor. Roy and Crocalor were separated from the others when they fell into an underground cave. Once they escaped and reunited with the others, everyone decided to use scratches left in the terrain to determine where Kleavor resided, oblivious to the fact that it had been watching them.

In [[HZ073]], once Roy and the others successfully tracked Kleavor down, Lapras emerged from its Poké Ball to greet its old friend. Liko and Lapras asked Kleavor to join the Rising Volt Tacklers on their quest, to which it responded by entering a nearby cave. Roy, Liko, and Dot traversed the cave, eventually finding Kleavor waiting for them inside a bamboo grove. Realizing Kleavor aimed to test their might, Roy and the others accepted its challenge and sent out their Pokémon to face it. After a long battle over various terrains, Kleavor emerged victorious over Roy, Liko, and Dot's Terastallized Pokémon. Despite their loss, Kleavor acknowledged Roy and the others' strength and entered its Ancient Poké Ball. As they returned to the Brave Olivine, Roy and the others said goodbye to Perrin.
[[File:OPJ32 Rotom Photo HZ083.png|thumb|right|170px|the Rising Volt Tacklers battle [[Black Rayquaza|Rayquaza]] again]]
In [[HZ078]], Roy and his friends went to [[Johto]] to search for Lucius's {{DL|Six Heroes|Entei}}. After finding it, they battled Entei on a volcanic island, only to discover it was not Lucius's Entei but a wild one. Upon hearing Briar's discovery of what could be Lucius's Entei in [[Area Zero]], the group returned to Paldea. In [[HZ079]], Roy, Liko, and Dot battled Geeta in a 1 v 3 battle to show that they were strong enough to survive against the [[Paradox Pokémon]]. After a long teamwork, Liko's Floragato and Geeta's {{p|Glimmora}} left standing, with Floragato eventually emerging victorous thanks to her {{a|Overgrow}} ability. In this way, the Rising Volt Tacklers were granted permission to enter the Area Zero area to search for Lucius's Entei.

In [[HZ081]], Roy and his friends battled against Lucius's Entei, which turned out to be a Gouging Fire, after passing Gouging Fire's trial with an intense battle, Gouging Fire returned to its Ancient Poké Ball. Afterwards the remaining Six Heroes summoned the Black Rayquaza to Area Zero, much to Roy and his friends shock. In [[HZ082]], Roy and his friends battled against Rayquaza once more. Despite putting up a tough fight with great strategies, Rayquaza defeated most of the group's Pokemon, leaving Crocalor and Pagogo to battle Rayquaza. After Pagogo dealt massive damage to Rayquaza, it used its remaining strength to Terastallize Crocalor for a final assault, Roy commanded Crocalor for a final Flame Charge which weakened Rayquaza enough for Roy to recapture it into its Ancient Poké Ball, fulfilling his dream. Despite recapturing Rayquaza, Roy realized his new goal was to have Rayquaza acknowledge him to be worthy of being its Trainer. He and the Rising Volt Tacklers then followed Rayquaza in search for Laqua.

In [[HZ086]], Roy battled against Coral in Laqua, despite his opponent's use of a powerful Terastallized Paradox Pokemon, Roy and Crocalor were ultimately able to outsmart and defeat their opponents.

In [[HZ089]], a year after the incident in Laqua, Roy took custody of Captain Pikachu and also acquired a shiny {{TP|Roy|Lucario}}.

===Character===
[[File:Roy and Grandfather.png|250px|thumb|left|Roy and [[Roy's grandfather|his grandfather]]]]
Roy is an upbeat and energetic boy who likes to go hunting for treasures. Adventurous by nature, Roy seeks to start a journey to meet Pokémon he has not seen and see the world, just like the fabled [[Lucius|Ancient Adventurer]] he has heard about from his {{TP|Roy|grandfather}}. Although he starts inexperienced about the inner workings of being a [[Pokémon Trainer]], he is nonetheless adept at other related activities, such as building [[Secret Base]]s, and an expert in stone throwing, being able to ricochet pebbles for long distances to cut {{Berries}} from trees and create distractions, which makes his {{i|Poké Ball}} throws very accurate. Roy also seems to enjoy mysteries and doesn't rest until he’s solved them.

He is shown to enjoy singing and eating, especially berries and spicy food. Roy's enjoyment of berries and spicy flavored foods is also shown in his [[curry]], as seen in ''[[HZ027|As Long as I'm with My Friends]]'', as most of the ingredients he uses are spicy flavored and berries. However, despite berries and spicy stuff being his favorite food, Roy does like certain other types of foods, such as sweets. Roy also gets excited to eat in general, as seen in ''[[HZ019|The Bittersweet Truth]]'', when he and Fuecoco got excited to eat all the sweets that [[Murdock]] and {{OBP|Mitchell|HZ019}} made from their unexpected bake-off. In addition to being a good singer, Roy is a skilled rapper. As revealed in ''[[HZ062|A New Song for Fuecoco]]'', Roy's love for singing comes from his parents, as they used to sing together whenever he was with them on their cargo ship, and even long after they had left, he would bond with the island Pokémon this way. He continues to use his newfound passion for singing as a means to not only have fun but improve his bond with Fuecoco, as he came up with a new song and battle tactic that is less predictable and stronger than before, allowing him and Fuecoco to win their rematch against [[Ryme]] in the same episode and fully gaining her respect to the point where she hyped up the crowd along with Roy when him and Fuecoco starting singing during his battle against [[Liko]] in ''[[HZ067|Shine on, Terastallization! Liko vs. Roy!]]''.
[[File:Liko_Roy_Dot.png|thumb|250px|Roy, Liko, and Dot]]
After befriending and spending time with Fuecoco and Liko, Roy learns that the feelings of the Trainer and the Pokémon have to coincide in order for a partnership to be born. Roy is also shown to be passionate about Pokémon, particularly [[Legendary Pokémon]], with his dream being to meet and battle them, much like the Ancient Adventurer, who managed to catch the {{Shiny|Black}} [[Black Rayquaza|Rayquaza]]. In addition, Roy would help any Pokémon in trouble as he would solve or work out their problems. Due to living on an island for most of his life, Roy can get excited to see various places for the first time. However, despite this, Roy does have social skills as he isn't shy to talk with people or Pokémon. Although, Roy can be oblivious when it comes to the field of romance until someone points it out to him. Roy also enjoys being around nature, and often does his online classes in various spots on the island, with him deciding to make the battlefield on the Brave Olivine his main place to do them.
[[File:Roy parents.png|thumb|250px|left|Roy and [[Roy's parents|his parents]]]]
Roy shares a close relationship with his grandfather, as he raised and took care of him growing up. Since meeting [[Friede]] in ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', Roy began to show admiration for him, as he looks up to him for both his skills and knowledge as Pokémon Trainer and [[Pokémon Professor|Professor]]. Roy also takes inspiration from Friede, as seen in ''[[HZ017|Special Training Time!]]'', when he was inspired by his Pokémon training together and decided to do the same thing for his Pokémon. In addition, Roy seems to have a great relationship with the rest of his teammates. However, out of all of his teammates, Roy seems to have a special relationship with Liko and [[Dot]], as he often hangs out with them and enjoys their company. Throughout their journey, they would support each other, usually training together to become both better Trainers and versions of themselves. Roy also would go to Liko and Dot for advice whenever he is stuck in a jam.

Ever since the events in ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', Roy took an interest in Pokémon battles and enjoys them, but lacked experiences and tended to be reckless while relying on brute force. However, thanks to the help of others, Roy has shown gradual improvement in his skills. His potential as a battler even got the attention of [[Pokémon Champion|Champion]]-ranked Trainer [[Nemona (anime)|Nemona]], which lead to them to developing a friendly rivalry, where she desires to battle him often and frequently watches his important battles as well as help him train for upcoming ones. Roy has also learned that having his Pokémon train with each other not only helps them become stronger, but also would help strengthen both their friendship and teamwork, as seen in ''[[HZ017|Special Training Time!]]''. In addition, Roy learns that failure in a Pokémon battle is part of a Trainers growth in order to improve. At first, Roy was only focusing on the battle and not everything around him. However, through [[Brassius]]'s advice in ''[[HZ048|Sparkle! The Glow of Fire and Art!]]'', Roy realizes that using everything around him such as the environment and small details of Pokemon can help him in battle. Overtime, Roy has learnt to strategise and adapt better during battles to avoid becoming too predictable, getting caught off guard or overwhelmed by his opponent, allowing him to win more often. He also no longer panics during battles, remaining calm and confident while guiding his Pokémon. This is especially shown in [[HZ068]] where he effortlessly commanded his {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}} whenever he was scared or distressed against [[Lucius's Moltres|Lucius’s Moltres]]. However, Roy will still struggle to focus during a battle if something is genuinely weighing on his mind, as shown in ''[[HZ065|Liko and Amethio]]'', when Liko went missing, as he and Dot were unable to put a one hundread percent into their battle against the [[Explorers]] because they were worried about her safety.

Roy has shown to be somewhat of an amateur artist. His artistic ability is displayed whenever he crafted cardboard cutouts of Pokémon for training purposes as shown in ''[[HZ014|Fly! Wattrel!!]]'' and in ''[[HZ037|Fuecoco…Becomes a Crook?!]]'', as well as when he and Fuecoco presented an impressive {{p|Charizard}} sculpture that represented their respective dreams during the [[Artazon Art Festival]]. This has allowed him to form a close mentor-student relationship with Brassius and even gain the respect of [[Hassel]]. His artistic nature is even shown in battle as seen in ''[[HZ055|Showdown! The Paldea Elite Four]]'' when he combined his Fuecoco's moves with the moves of Brassius's {{p|Dolliv}}, creating a spectacular display. Additionally, his fondness and appreciation for art also stretches to the works of other people, like when he was the first to compliment Brassius’s Black Rayquaza sculpture in ''[[HZ010|Nemona and Brassius and…]]'', or when he moved his battle against [[Coral]] outside in ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]'' to prevent the other students’ artworks from getting burnt during their fight.

As early as ''[[HZ013|An Unexpected Picnic!]]'', Roy has displayed an eagerness for taking photos on his [[Rotom Phone]], wanting to capture special moments with his friends and Pokémon during his journey. This was later emphasised in ''[[HZ061|Resonating Spirits in a Challenge to Ryme!]]'', when he and Fuecoco looked back fondly at different photos that were taken up until that point, with Roy even getting another photo alongside his Pokémon partners and the wild Pokémon he befriended on [[Glaseado Mountain]] in the same episode.

===Pokémon===
[[File:Roy party.png|thumb|250px|Roy and his Pokémon]]
Roy's team consist of gluttons and had various problems, which was either fear or insecurities. However, Roy was able to help his Pokémon overcome their fears and insecurities, such as his {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}}'s (while he was a {{p|Fuecoco}}) embarrassment of singing in front of others and [[Roy's Kilowattrel|Kilowattrel]]'s (while it was a {{p|Wattrel}}) fear of heights. Roy's Pokémon also look up to [[Friede]]'s Pokémon, due to them being a {{t|Fire}} and {{type|Electric}}.

==Trivia ==
*Roy was originally designed by [[Ken Sugimori]] before being adapted for the animated series by the series' character designers.<ref name=anipoke20230303>[https://twitter.com/anipoke_PR/status/1631603322170769409 Tweet by アニメ「ポケットモンスター」公式 (@anipoke_PR).] Posted on March 3, 2023.</ref><ref name=LikoRoyConcept>[https://natalie.mu/comic/gallery/news/515226/2010334 Concept art on Natalie] (the concept art's file name is "riko_roy_sugimori.jpg")</ref>
*Roy has a stylized {{p|Unown}} “R” on his shirt, which directly alludes to his name.
*Roy is the first:
**Male main character to keep his Japanese name in the English dub of the animated series.
**Male main character to own a Pokémon that debuted before him, as {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} debuted one episode before [[HZ003|Roy's debut]].
**Main human character that didn't debut in the first episode of his series since {{an|Cilan}}.
**Main character to have obtained or caught a [[first partner Pokémon]] as their first Pokémon in their home region since {{an|Serena}}, who obtained her {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}} in ''[[XY004|A Shocking Cheeky Friendship!]]'', 435 episodes earlier.
**[[Rising Volt Tacklers]] member to defeat a [[Gym Leader]] in a [[Pokémon battle]].
**Male main character other than {{Ash}} to:
***Battle a member of the [[Elite Four]] onscreen.
***Defeat a {{pkmn|Champion}}.
***Be able to use more then one battle technique.
**Main character to catch a [[Shiny Pokémon]] offscreen.
*Roy's name was changed in the German, Spanish, French, and Portuguese localizations of the animated series, presumably due to a naming conflict with [[Raihan]], one of the [[Gym Leader]]s in {{g|Sword and Shield}}, who is named "Roy" in those languages. His name was also changed in the Korean localization of the animated series, presumably due to a naming conflict with [[James]], who is named "Roy" in that language.
*When {{Tera}}stallizing his {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}}, Roy uses the phrase '''sparkle, gem of dreams''' (Japanese: '''輝け、夢の結晶''' ''shine bright, crystallization of our dreams'').
*Roy's in-game [[Trainer ID number]] is 230512, the Japanese air date of ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]''.

===History===
[[File:Young Roy.png|250px|left|thumb|Young Roy]]
====Pre-series====
Roy grew up on an [[Roy's hometown|island]] in the [[Kanto]] region with his [[Roy's parents|parents]] and [[Roy's grandfather|grandfather]]. During his childhood, Roy would travel with his parents on a cargo ship and his grandfather would tell the story of a [[Lucius|Legendary Adventurer]], which inspired him to become a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. Sometime later, Roy was left under his grandfather's care when his parents went traveling on their own for business, as he received a mysterious {{i|Poké Ball}} from his grandfather and decided to undercover the mystery of it. Also, Roy would sing to himself until a group of wild Pokémon heard him and followed him.
{{left clear}}

====''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''====
Roy debuted in ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]''. In the morning after [[HZ002|a storm]], he ran to the beach, where he found the flag missing from the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]' [[Brave Olivine|airship]].

In ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', it was revealed that Roy attends virtual school and that he couldn't catch a Pokémon because there were no Pokémon Trainers on the island. After noticing that his [[Secret Base]] had been raided, Roy came across a {{p|Fuecoco}} and befriended it. Soon, they heard a commotion nearby and ran towards it to find [[Liko]] and {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} running from a group of [[wild Pokémon]]. Despite their best efforts to escape, however, they were cornered and tied up by multiple {{m|String Shot}}s until [[Friede]] came to their rescue. Afterwards, Roy and Fuecoco parted ways.

Wanting to meet Fuecoco again, Roy [[HZ005|snuck on the Brave Olivine]], but he got zapped by [[Captain Pikachu]], waking up everyone on the aircraft in the process. Roy wanted Fuecoco to be his partner, but Friede told him that Fuecoco had to reciprocate those feelings as well. He and Liko searched all over the Brave Asagi, and while they weren't able to find Fuecoco that night, Roy decided to leave it some [[Oran Berry|Oran Berries]]. In the next day, Roy stumbled upon an agitated Fuecoco, who told him that there was trouble brewing at the Brave Olivine. At the beach, Roy partnered with Fuecoco to battle against [[Zirc]] and his {{p|Rhydon}}. By chanting alongside the Fire Croc Pokémon, Roy helped Fuecoco to successfully fire off an {{m|Ember}}.
[[File:Roy RVT.png|thumb|250px|Roy joining the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]]]
In ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', Roy battled against [[Amethio]] for the first time and, even alongside Liko, was quickly overwhelmed by his strength. When {{TP|Amethio|Ceruledge}} was about to finish off Fuecoco and Sprigatito, Roy's Ancient Poké Ball started to shine brightly and released a {{Shiny|Black}} [[Black Rayquaza|Rayquaza]], who fired a {{m|Draco Meteor}} that forced the [[Explorers]] to retreat and flew away. Later that day, Roy opened his heart to Fuecoco, confessing that he wanted it to be his partner. Fuecoco reciprocated those feelings and spat out a Poké Ball that Friede's {{p|Charizard}} gave it, allowing Roy to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it. After stating he wanted to realize both his and {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}}'s dreams, his grandfather allowed him to go out on his [[Pokémon journey]] with the Rising Volt Tacklers.

In ''[[HZ007|Special Training with Cap!]]'', Liko and Roy had a sparring battle, which ended with both of their Pokémon just exhausting themselves. After a training session with [[Captain Pikachu]], they had another battle, which went much better. Although Roy ended up losing, he wasn't dejected, and promised to battle Liko again later.

In ''[[HZ009|Welcome to Paldea!]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers landed in [[Paldea]]. In [[HZ010|the following episode]], Roy and Liko visited [[Artazon]] to meet [[Gym Leader]] [[Brassius]], who had supposedly seen the Black Rayquaza. Brassius eventually admitted this to have been the case, with the encounter having left him in an artistic slump, as he felt his Rayquaza statue was not as good as the real thing. Roy, however, thought Brassius's statue looked just as good as the actual Rayquaza. After hearing how Rayquaza had been the inspiration behind his journey, Brassius challenged Roy to a battle to see if he was worthy of facing Rayquaza. During the battle, Brassius told Roy to remember to keep an eye on his own Pokémon, allowing Roy to spot that Fuecoco had just learned {{m|Stomping Tantrum}}. Despite this new [[move]], however, Fuecoco was still defeated after Brassius {{Tera}}stallized his {{p|Sudowoodo}}, ending the match in Roy's loss. After the battle, Roy expressed interest in getting to try out using the Terastal phenomenon himself. After learning that Brassius saw the Black Rayquaza flying over [[Arboliva's Forest]], Roy and Liko decided to make it their next destination.

In ''[[HZ011|Arboliva's Forest]]'', [[Nemona]] led Roy and Liko to Arboliva's Forest, only to find part of it burned down after a lightning strike started a wildfire. While searching the area, Roy came across a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{TP|Lucius|Arboliva}} with an Ancient Poké Ball. Mistakenly assuming the pair were trying to harm the Pokémon living in the forest, Arboliva began attacking Roy and Liko. While Roy and Liko kept Arboliva distracted, [[Mollie]] treated an injured {{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Wooper}}, calming Arboliva down. In the [[HZ012|following episode]], the Rising Volt Tacklers held a successful group effort to replant the damaged part of the forest. Liko's pendant briefly transformed into a mysterious Pokémon just before Arboliva returned to its Ancient Poké Ball.
[[File:Roy catches Wattrel.png|thumb|250px|left|Roy catches {{TP|Roy|Wattrel}}]]
In ''[[HZ013|An Unexpected Picnic!]]'', a {{p|Wattrel}} stole a [[sandwich]] that Roy had made for Fuecoco. Roy chased after Wattrel, until it reached a cliff, where it turned around to face Fuecoco. After a brief confrontation, Roy agreed to share the sandwich, only for Wattrel to steal both halves of it. Soon after, Roy noticed that Wattrel wasn't flying away with others of its kind. In the [[HZ014|next episode]], Roy sought Wattrel out again in order to help it learn to fly. Wattrel's fear of heights made this hard, so Roy eventually got the idea of using [[Ludlow]]'s [[fishing]] rod to support Wattrel mid-air while it attempted to fly. This strategy eventually succeeded, allowing Wattrel to fly as high as the others of its kind. Happy to see Wattrel flying, Roy was about to leave, only for Wattrel to fly after him. Taking this as a sign that Wattrel wanted to be caught by Roy, [[Murdock]] gave him a {{i|Poké Ball}} to do so. When a sudden gust of wind threw Wattrel off-balance, Roy threw the Poké Ball at it before it could hit the ground, saving it and adding it to his [[party|team]].
[[File:Liko Roy Dot Paldean first partners.png|thumb|250px|Roy, [[Liko]], and [[Dot]] battling the [[Explorers]]]]
In ''[[HZ015|Someone We Can't See! Whosawhatsit?]]'', Roy was informed that Liko went missing while shopping, so he and the Rising Volt Tacklers went looking for her. However, Roy wondered off when his Wattrel ran to chase after a {{p|Corvisquire}} until they went to [[Levincia]] City. After meeting up with Friede, Roy met [[Dot]] for the first time and went looking for Liko, being able to find her. Roy was then informed that Liko had her pendant stolen and they agreed to get it back. In the [[HZ016|next episode]], Roy and his friends found [[Spinel]], the one who stole the object, and then battled him. After Liko got her pendant back, Roy and his friends made their escape thanks to Arboliva.

In ''[[HZ017|Special Training Time!]]'', Roy decided to train his Pokémon in teamwork in the hopes of helping his Fuecoco and Wattrel get along better, due to their constant arguing. Roy asked Friede to battle them, which he accepted. However, due to Fuecoco and Wattrel lack of teamwork, Roy lost the match. The boy then decided to train his Pokémon and was able to get them to work together. Next, he asked Friede a rematch but, although Fuecoco and Wattrel's teamwork improved, Roy lost to Friede again.

In [[HZ018|next episode]], Roy and his friends got curious as to how Captain Pikachu was able to fly during his battle against him. Although they asked Friede for answers, they couldn't get the information they wanted. However, Roy and his friends refused to give up as they decided to ask the rest of the members, but couldn't get an answer from them either. Despite this, Roy and his friends curiosity did get the rest of the members curious as well. They all decided to ask Friede for answers, as they were able to convince him into telling them as to how he met Captain Pikachu and the formation of the Rising Volt Tacklers.

In ''[[HZ020|Kabu's Battle Training!]]'', Roy arrived at [[Motostoke Stadium]] with Liko in order to get some information about the Black Rayquaza from [[Motostoke]] Gym Leader [[Kabu]], due to being from [[Hoenn]]. However, Roy and Liko receive some training from Kabu then did a tag battle against him. Despite Fuecoco learning {{m|Flamethrower}}, Roy lost to Kabu while Liko forfeited because she felt bad for her opponent, {{OBP|Wakaba|HZ020}}. After the battle, Roy and Liko found out through Kabu that the Black Rayquaza is at the [[Galar Mine]].

In ''[[HZ022|Charge! Galar Mine!]]'', Roy with Liko and Friede arrived at the Galar Mine, but got separated from them. However, Roy was able to meet back up with Liko and encounter the Explores again. During the battle, Roy and his friends met a {{rf|Galarian}} {{TP|Lucius|Moltres}} that had an Ancient Poké Ball, which got him to realize that its one of Lucius's Pokémon. Unfortunately, Roy and Liko were forced to retreat when Moltres proved to be too strong and Captain Pikachu was injured as they left the mine. In the [[HZ023|next episode]], Roy and Liko arrived at the [[Pokémon Center]] in [[Motostoke]] where they reunited with Friede and agreed to battle Moltres again. After finding Moltres again at the Galar Mine, Roy battled the Legendary Pokémon again in order to calm it down. After Moltres calmed down, Roy witnessed the Legendary Pokémon return to Ancient Poké Ball, as Liko took it under her care.

In ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]'', Roy, Liko, and Friede arrived at [[Hammerlocke]] in order to find an [[Old Castle]] that [[Diana]], Liko's grandmother, was at. Through her {{p|Squawkabilly}}, Roy and his friends were able to find her. They hung out at the castle until the Explorers, who have been following them, arrived at their location. In the [[HZ025|next episode]], Roy and Liko tried to escape the Explorers, but were forced to battle Zirc and Onia, being able to defeat them. After the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived, Roy and his friends were able to escape from the Explorers.

In ''[[HZ031|Song Within the Mist]]'', Roy joined his friends and Ludlow in finding a {{TP|Lucius|Lapras}}, who happened to be one of Lucius's Pokémon, after they got a led through a ship crew that saw the Transport Pokémon. Fortunately, Roy, Liko, Dot, and Ludlow were able to find Lapras, but they failed to get it to come out, as it was covered by the {{m|Mist}} and two Pokémon appeared on the ship. When Friede devised a plan to get Lapras back, Roy and Liko stayed on the deck to wait for the Transport Pokémon. Through the Professor and Captain Pikachu, the two saw Lapras with battle scars and other various Pokémon on a {{p|Wailord}}, who also had scars as well. In the [[HZ032|next episode]], Roy joined Liko and Friede in going after Lapras and, after convincing it that they were friends, the Transport Pokémon returned to its Ancient Poké Ball and Liko took it under her care. However, before setting off, Roy and his friends witnessed the Black Rayquaza arriving at their location.

In ''[[HZ033|Roar of the Black Rayquaza]]'', Roy attempted to battle the Black Rayquaza, but couldn't because Amethio arrived to battle it and {{TP|Liko|Terapagos}} transformed in order to protect its friends. However, after Terapagos collapsed and the Black Rayquaza left, Roy was depressed that he didn't get to battle the Legendary Pokémon. Fortunately, after doing a training battle with Liko against Diana, Roy cheered up and understood that he had a long way to go in order to battle the Black Rayquaza. In the [[HZ034|next episode]], Roy and Liko overheard Diana's intentions to continue traveling alone. They decided to organize a surprise farewell party for her. Through the help of their teammates, Roy and Liko surprised Diana with the party, which she appreciated. Once they bid farewell to Diana, the Rising Volt Tacklers resumed their search for the remaining Six Heroes. However, Roy was informed by Friede that they were heading to Paldea first in order to gain information on Terapagos.

In ''[[HZ037|Fuecoco…Becomes a Crook?!]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers took on a job to deal with a group of {{p|Sandile}}, {{p|Krokorok}}, and {{p|Krookodile}} that were disturbing some {{OBP|archeologists|HZ037}}. Roy and Fuecoco eventually found the group and quickly befriended them upon learning they were a family trying to protect their {{pkmn|Egg}}s. When the archeologists' digging equipment disturbed the young Sandile, Krookodile and the Krokorok went on a rampage in order to destroy the machinery. By learning {{m|Disarming Voice}}, Fuecoco managed to calm its new friends down. Afterward, once the situation was explained to both parties, Krookodile and its family agreed to work alongside the archeologists.

In ''[[HZ042|Transform! Hero of the Seas, Palafin]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers successfully returned to Paldea. In the [[HZ043|following episode]], Roy and Liko were challenged to a battle by [[Coral]] and [[Sidian]], respectively. Fuecoco struggled to land any hits on Coral's {{p|Glalie}} due to it freezing the battlefield, but upon noticing Fuecoco's growing frustration, Roy commanded it to use Stomping Tantrum, creating an ice fence that sent Glalie flying. Impressed by her opponents' determination, Coral decided to stop holding back, only to be forcibly pulled away by Sidian for a mission involving the Black Rayquaza.

In ''[[HZ044|The Plan to Capture Rayquaza]]'', Coral, Sidian, and [[Chalce]] used a machine capable of recreating Terapagos's energy to summon the Black Rayquaza. While Dot worked on a kill program for the machine, Roy and Liko used their Pokémon to keep the Explorers distracted. Their efforts worked, but after Dot shut the machine down, Coral lost her temper and commanded her Glalie to use {{m|Self-Destruct}}. The attack collided with Rayquaza's {{m|Dragon Pulse}}, creating an explosion powerful enough to blast the {{pkmn|category|Sky High Pokémon}} directly into the hull of the Brave Olivine.
[[File:Roy and Nemona.png|left|250px|thumb|Roy and [[Nemona]]]]
In ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]'', the ship was safely docked while the Explorers retreated, realizing their operation was a failure. Hoping to convey Terapagos's desire to reach [[Laqua]], Roy, Liko, Friede, and Dot challenged Rayquaza to a battle, which it readily accepted. Amethio later joined the fray and teamed up with Friede, with them Terastallizing Ceruledge and {{TP|Friede|Charizard}}, respectively, but both were eventually defeated by a devastating {{m|Dragon Ascent}}. Roy and Liko confronted Rayquaza next, but despite Fuecoco learning {{m|Flame Charge}} and Sprigatito evolving into {{TP|Liko|Floragato}}, they were unable to do much against the Sky High Pokémon. After Rayquaza took off, the Rising Volt Tacklers regrouped. While the Brave Olivine underwent repairs, Roy, Liko, and Dot decided to become stronger by learning how to use the Terastal phenomenon as well.

In ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]'', Roy, Liko, and Dot were enrolled in [[Naranja Academy]] as part of the Terastal course. They each received a [[Tera Orb]] and were tasked with battling the Paldea [[Gym Leader]]s as part of their [[Tera Training]]. To Roy's excitement, Brassius was chosen as his opponent. Roy also met [[Ann]], Liko's friend from [[Indigo Academy]]. After watching Liko and Ann battle, Roy and his friends set off for Liko's battle against [[Katy]] in [[Cortondo]].

In ''[[HZ048|Sparkle! The Glow of Fire and Art!]]'', Roy, Liko, and Dot arrived in Artazon. Roy's Basics Test was temporarily postponed due to the town having its annual [[Artazon Art Festival]]. In the meantime, Roy faced Nemona in a battle, but was defeated. Frustrated, Roy asked to rematch Nemona, only for Brassius to suggest Roy participate in the festival in order to realize why he lost. Together, Roy and Fuecoco made a clay Charizard sculpture capable of breathing fire provided by Fuecoco's Flamethrower. This allowed Roy to realize he was failing to utilize any opportunity and resources in battles, impressing Brassius as a result. During his rematch with Brassius, Roy properly used strategies to see through Brassius's tactics, then defeated him after Terastallizing Fuecoco for the first time.

In ''[[HZ052|Wattrel's High Wind Warning!]]'', while looking for wild Pokémon to make a research report on, Roy noticed that Wattrel still struggled to fly properly in strong winds. That night, Roy and Fuecoco found that Wattrel had left their tent to go train in secret. The three also encountered [[Ryme]], a Trainer Roy bonded with over their shared love of music. The following morning, Roy found a wild {{p|Capsakid}} had gotten stuck on a cliff. Remembering words of encouragement Ryme gave it earlier, Wattrel worked up the courage to fly down and save the Capsakid despite the strong winds blowing in the area. When Roy slipped and fell off the ledge he was standing on, Wattrel immediately rushed in to save its Trainer, [[Evolution|evolving]] into {{p|Kilowattrel}} in the process.

[[File:Roy and Brassius.png|250px|thumb|Roy and [[Brassius]]]]
In ''[[HZ055|Showdown! The Paldea Elite Four]]'', Roy, Liko, and Dot participated in the [[Elite Four Tag Battle]] alongside the respective Gym Leaders they battled in their Basics Tests. Roy and Fuecoco teamed up with Brassius and his {{p|Dolliv}} to battle [[Hassel]]'s {{p|Baxcalibur}} and {{p|Flapple}}. Although both Trainers creatively combined their Pokémon's moves in a variety of ways, Fuecoco and Dolliv were eventually taken out by a {{a|Thermal Exchange}}-boosted {{m|Glaive Rush}} from Baxcalibur. Despite the loss, Roy promised Nemona that he would keep improving as a Trainer so he could one day face her in another battle.

In ''[[HZ057|Roy and Fuecoco's First Snow!]]'', Roy, Liko, Dot, and Friede met with [[Clavell]] and [[Geeta]], hoping to learn more about Terapagos from them. Although they didn't have much knowledge on the subject, Clavell and Geeta revealed that a sketch in the [[Scarlet Book]] depicted a third Terapagos form. Later, Roy and the others met another teacher, [[Raifort]], who provided them with some information on Laqua. Afterward, the students were each assigned a second Gym Leader to face as part of the implementation tests. Roy was paired with Ryme in [[Montenevera]], but the group decided to head to [[Medali]] first for Dot's battle against [[Larry]].

In ''[[HZ061|Resonating Spirits in a Challenge to Ryme!]]'', Roy and his friends arrived in Montenevera, where they reunited with Nemona. After defeating [[MC Sledge]] and his {{p|Sableye}}, Roy faced Ryme in a rap battle, where he impressed the Gym Leader with his skills. In the Terastal battle, Roy sent out Kilowattrel against Ryme's Houndstone, but it was quickly defeated. He then switched it out for Fuecoco, who managed to take out Houndstone after being encouraged by their song. When Ryme switched in her {{p|Toxtricity}}, it used its moves and {{a|Punk Rock}} Ability to negate all of Fuecoco's attacks. Backed into a corner, Roy Terastallized Fuecoco, but they were unable to launch a single attack before Toxtricity defeated them. Ryme scolded Roy for failing to utilize Fuecoco's strengths properly, failed him, and told Roy to challenge her again at a later time.

In ''[[HZ062|A New Song for Fuecoco]]'', Roy and Fuecoco participated in Nemona's [[Hyper Training]] session to prepare for their rematch with Ryme. While taking a break, Roy explained to the others how his love of singing came from the songs he and his parents sung together before they left on a long voyage together. Once their training had finished, Roy returned to Ryme and faced her in another battle. With a new song they created together, Roy and Fuecoco fared much better against Toxtricity, even forcing Ryme to Terastallize it. Eventually, Toxtricity was taken out by Fuecoco's Tera-boosted Flamethrower, giving Roy the victory and a passing grade on his exam. Afterward, Roy admitted that his and Fuecoco's song isn't for making them stronger in battle, it symbolizes the bond he and Fuecoco share. Ryme congratulated Roy on his victory, but noted how it's up to him whether or not Fuecoco reaches its full potential.

In ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]'', Roy, Liko, and Dot returned to the Naranja Academy, where Nemona informed them of the upcoming [[Course Students Battle Tournament]] to celebrate the end of the Tera Training course. Roy was then informed by Dot that the Explorers were trying to hack into the academy's systems to steal information on Terapagos. After splitting up, Roy found Coral and challenged her, Roy soon took the fight outside the classroom to prevent the destruction of student artworks, in which Coral followed in pursuit: after a clash of power between Fuecoco's Flamethrower and Glalie's {{m|Blizzard}}, the boy encouraged his Partner Pokémon, who ultimately outclassed his opponent and defeated Glalie, forcing Coral to retreat in anger. Later, after reuniting with Liko and Dot, the three were informed by [[Dendra]] that both Roy and Liko would face each other in the next round of the tournament.
[[File:HZ067.png|250px|left|thumb|Roy battling Liko in the [[Course Students Battle Tournament]]]]
In ''[[HZ067|Shine on, Terastallization! Liko vs. Roy!]]'', their fight begun, with their selected Pokémon being their first partners. After his Pokémon got into trouble due to Floragato's vine, Roy switched him for Kilowattrel, who took the lead thanks to its flight and speed and paralyzed Floragato, forcing Liko to recall it for {{TP|Liko|Hattrem}}. The latter tried to immobilize Kilowattrel with her psychic powers, but was still defeated, although she managed to cure the paralysis of her teammate thanks to her {{a|Healer}} [[Ability]]. Liko then ordered Floragato to trick the opponent with the vine before defeating him with {{m|Scratch}}. Roy sent Fuecoco back to the field, who after being encouraged by his Trainer, Ryme, and the crowd, evolved into {{p|Crocalor}}. Both Trainers Terastallized their Pokémon, but Crocalor prevailed and defeated Floragato, making Roy the winner of the battle.

In [[HZ068]], Raifort told Roy, Liko, and Dot about [[Briar]], a Terapagos researcher currently stationed in the land of [[Kitakami]]. Roy and the others boarded the fully-repaired Brave Olivine, where they received a tour of the ship's new additions. When Friede returned Lucius's belt and Ancient Poké Balls, Arboliva, Galarian Moltres, and Lapras came out and challenged the younger Rising Volt Tacklers members to a practice battle. Roy and Crocalor went up against Moltres, where after exchanging several attacks, Moltres returned to its Poké Ball, satisfied with Roy's progress. Later that night, the Brave Olivine reached Kitakami.

In [[HZ071]], Roy, Liko, Dot, and Friede arrived at the [[Crystal Pool]]. While Friede went off to fetch Briar, the children were attacked by a wild Terastallized {{p|Milotic}}. Through teamwork, Roy and the others managed to calm down and befriend the Milotic, which impressed Briar, who had returned with Friede just as the battle concluded. Roy's group and Briar had a discussion on Terapagos, its forms, and its connection to [[Area Zero]]. Once night fell, Briar suggested using the Crystal Pool's legendary ability to allow people to see those that have passed on. Terapagos tried to summon Lucius's spirit, but nothing happened. Afterward, Roy's group said farewell to Briar and returned to the Brave Olivine. Later, Dot introduced the Rising Volt Tacklers to [[Perrin]], a photographer who saw [[Lucius's Kleavor]].

In [[HZ072]], Roy, Liko, Dot, Friede, and Perrin traveled to [[Tengu Mountain]], where the latter found Kleavor. Roy and Crocalor were separated from the others when they fell into an underground cave. Once they escaped and reunited with the others, everyone decided to use scratches left in the terrain to determine where Kleavor resided, oblivious to the fact that it had been watching them.

In [[HZ073]], once Roy and the others successfully tracked Kleavor down, Lapras emerged from its Poké Ball to greet its old friend. Liko and Lapras asked Kleavor to join the Rising Volt Tacklers on their quest, to which it responded by entering a nearby cave. Roy, Liko, and Dot traversed the cave, eventually finding Kleavor waiting for them inside a bamboo grove. Realizing Kleavor aimed to test their might, Roy and the others accepted its challenge and sent out their Pokémon to face it. After a long battle over various terrains, Kleavor emerged victorious over Roy, Liko, and Dot's Terastallized Pokémon. Despite their loss, Kleavor acknowledged Roy and the others' strength and entered its Ancient Poké Ball. As they returned to the Brave Olivine, Roy and the others said goodbye to Perrin.
[[File:OPJ32 Rotom Photo HZ083.png|thumb|right|170px|the Rising Volt Tacklers battle [[Black Rayquaza|Rayquaza]] again]]
In [[HZ078]], Roy and his friends went to [[Johto]] to search for Lucius's {{DL|Six Heroes|Entei}}. After finding it, they battled Entei on a volcanic island, only to discover it was not Lucius's Entei but a wild one. Upon hearing Briar's discovery of what could be Lucius's Entei in [[Area Zero]], the group returned to Paldea. In [[HZ079]], Roy, Liko, and Dot battled Geeta in a 1 v 3 battle to show that they were strong enough to survive against the [[Paradox Pokémon]]. After a long teamwork, Liko's Floragato and Geeta's {{p|Glimmora}} left standing, with Floragato eventually emerging victorous thanks to her {{a|Overgrow}} ability. In this way, the Rising Volt Tacklers were granted permission to enter the Area Zero area to search for Lucius's Entei.

In [[HZ081]], Roy and his friends battled against Lucius's Entei, which turned out to be a Gouging Fire, after passing Gouging Fire's trial with an intense battle, Gouging Fire returned to its Ancient Poké Ball. Afterwards the remaining Six Heroes summoned the Black Rayquaza to Area Zero, much to Roy and his friends shock. In [[HZ082]], Roy and his friends battled against Rayquaza once more. Despite putting up a tough fight with great strategies, Rayquaza defeated most of the group's Pokemon, leaving Crocalor and Pagogo to battle Rayquaza. After Pagogo dealt massive damage to Rayquaza, it used its remaining strength to Terastallize Crocalor for a final assault, Roy commanded Crocalor for a final Flame Charge which weakened Rayquaza enough for Roy to recapture it into its Ancient Poké Ball, fulfilling his dream. Despite recapturing Rayquaza, Roy realized his new goal was to have Rayquaza acknowledge him to be worthy of being its Trainer. He and the Rising Volt Tacklers then followed Rayquaza in search for Laqua.

In [[HZ086]], Roy battled against Coral in Laqua, despite his opponent's use of a powerful Terastallized Paradox Pokemon, Roy and Crocalor were ultimately able to outsmart and defeat their opponents.
===Character===
[[File:Roy and Grandfather.png|250px|thumb|left|Roy and [[Roy's grandfather|his grandfather]]]]
Roy is an upbeat and energetic boy who likes to go hunting for treasures. Adventurous by nature, Roy seeks to start a journey to meet Pokémon he has not seen and see the world, just like the fabled [[Lucius|Ancient Adventurer]] he has heard about from his {{TP|Roy|grandfather}}. Although he starts inexperienced about the inner workings of being a [[Pokémon Trainer]], he is nonetheless adept at other related activities, such as building [[Secret Base]]s, and an expert in stone throwing, being able to ricochet pebbles for long distances to cut {{Berries}} from trees and create distractions, which makes his {{i|Poké Ball}} throws very accurate. Roy also seems to enjoy mysteries and doesn't rest until he’s solved them.

He is shown to enjoy singing and eating, especially berries and spicy food. Roy's enjoyment of berries and spicy flavored foods is also shown in his [[curry]], as seen in ''[[HZ027|As Long as I'm with My Friends]]'', as most of the ingredients he uses are spicy flavored and berries. However, despite berries and spicy stuff being his favorite food, Roy does like certain other types of foods, such as sweets. Roy also gets excited to eat in general, as seen in ''[[HZ019|The Bittersweet Truth]]'', when he and Fuecoco got excited to eat all the sweets that [[Murdock]] and {{OBP|Mitchell|HZ019}} made from their unexpected bake-off. In addition to being a good singer, Roy is a skilled rapper. As revealed in ''[[HZ062|A New Song for Fuecoco]]'', Roy's love for singing comes from his parents, as they used to sing together whenever he was with them on their cargo ship, and even long after they had left, he would bond with the island Pokémon this way. He continues to use his newfound passion for singing as a means to not only have fun but improve his bond with Fuecoco, as he came up with a new song and battle tactic that is less predictable and stronger than before, allowing him and Fuecoco to win their rematch against [[Ryme]] in the same episode and fully gaining her respect to the point where she hyped up the crowd along with Roy when him and Fuecoco starting singing during his battle against [[Liko]] in ''[[HZ067|Shine on, Terastallization! Liko vs. Roy!]]''.
[[File:Liko_Roy_Dot.png|thumb|250px|Roy, Liko, and Dot]]
After befriending and spending time with Fuecoco and Liko, Roy learns that the feelings of the Trainer and the Pokémon have to coincide in order for a partnership to be born. Roy is also shown to be passionate about Pokémon, particularly [[Legendary Pokémon]], with his dream being to meet and battle them, much like the Ancient Adventurer, who managed to catch the {{Shiny|Black}} [[Black Rayquaza|Rayquaza]]. In addition, Roy would help any Pokémon in trouble as he would solve or work out their problems. Due to living on an island for most of his life, Roy can get excited to see various places for the first time. However, despite this, Roy does have social skills as he isn't shy to talk with people or Pokémon. Although, Roy can be oblivious when it comes to the field of romance until someone points it out to him. Roy also enjoys being around nature, and often does his online classes in various spots on the island, with him deciding to make the battlefield on the Brave Olivine his main place to do them.
[[File:Roy parents.png|thumb|250px|left|Roy and [[Roy's parents|his parents]]]]
Roy shares a close relationship with his grandfather, as he raised and took care of him growing up. Since meeting [[Friede]] in ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', Roy began to show admiration for him, as he looks up to him for both his skills and knowledge as Pokémon Trainer and [[Pokémon Professor|Professor]]. Roy also takes inspiration from Friede, as seen in ''[[HZ017|Special Training Time!]]'', when he was inspired by his Pokémon training together and decided to do the same thing for his Pokémon. In addition, Roy seems to have a great relationship with the rest of his teammates. However, out of all of his teammates, Roy seems to have a special relationship with Liko and [[Dot]], as he often hangs out with them and enjoys their company. Throughout their journey, they would support each other, usually training together to become both better Trainers and versions of themselves. Roy also would go to Liko and Dot for advice whenever he is stuck in a jam.

Ever since the events in ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', Roy took an interest in Pokémon battles and enjoys them, but lacked experiences and tended to be reckless while relying on brute force. However, thanks to the help of others, Roy has shown gradual improvement in his skills. His potential as a battler even got the attention of [[Pokémon Champion|Champion]]-ranked Trainer [[Nemona (anime)|Nemona]], which lead to them to developing a friendly rivalry, where she desires to battle him often and frequently watches his important battles as well as help him train for upcoming ones. Roy has also learned that having his Pokémon train with each other not only helps them become stronger, but also would help strengthen both their friendship and teamwork, as seen in ''[[HZ017|Special Training Time!]]''. In addition, Roy learns that failure in a Pokémon battle is part of a Trainers growth in order to improve. At first, Roy was only focusing on the battle and not everything around him. However, through [[Brassius]]'s advice in ''[[HZ048|Sparkle! The Glow of Fire and Art!]]'', Roy realizes that using everything around him such as the environment and small details of Pokemon can help him in battle. Overtime, Roy has learnt to strategise and adapt better during battles to avoid becoming too predictable, getting caught off guard or overwhelmed by his opponent, allowing him to win more often. He also no longer panics during battles, remaining calm and confident while guiding his Pokémon. This is especially shown in [[HZ068]] where he effortlessly commanded his {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}} whenever he was scared or distressed against [[Lucius's Moltres|Lucius’s Moltres]]. However, Roy will still struggle to focus during a battle if something is genuinely weighing on his mind, as shown in ''[[HZ065|Liko and Amethio]]'', when Liko went missing, as he and Dot were unable to put a one hundread percent into their battle against the [[Explorers]] because they were worried about her safety.

Roy has shown to be somewhat of an amateur artist. His artistic ability is displayed whenever he crafted cardboard cutouts of Pokémon for training purposes as shown in ''[[HZ014|Fly! Wattrel!!]]'' and in ''[[HZ037|Fuecoco…Becomes a Crook?!]]'', as well as when he and Fuecoco presented an impressive {{p|Charizard}} sculpture that represented their respective dreams during the [[Artazon Art Festival]]. This has allowed him to form a close mentor-student relationship with Brassius and even gain the respect of [[Hassel]]. His artistic nature is even shown in battle as seen in ''[[HZ055|Showdown! The Paldea Elite Four]]'' when he combined his Fuecoco's moves with the moves of Brassius's {{p|Dolliv}}, creating a spectacular display. Additionally, his fondness and appreciation for art also stretches to the works of other people, like when he was the first to compliment Brassius’s Black Rayquaza sculpture in ''[[HZ010|Nemona and Brassius and…]]'', or when he moved his battle against [[Coral]] outside in ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]'' to prevent the other students’ artworks from getting burnt during their fight.

As early as ''[[HZ013|An Unexpected Picnic!]]'', Roy has displayed an eagerness for taking photos on his [[Rotom Phone]], wanting to capture special moments with his friends and Pokémon during his journey. This was later emphasised in ''[[HZ061|Resonating Spirits in a Challenge to Ryme!]]'', when he and Fuecoco looked back fondly at different photos that were taken up until that point, with Roy even getting another photo alongside his Pokémon partners and the wild Pokémon he befriended on [[Glaseado Mountain]] in the same episode.

===Pokémon===
[[File:Roy party.png|thumb|250px|Roy and his Pokémon]]
Roy's team consist of gluttons and had various problems, which was either fear or insecurities. However, Roy was able to help his Pokémon overcome their fears and insecurities, such as his {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}}'s (while he was a {{p|Fuecoco}}) embarrassment of singing in front of others and [[Roy's Kilowattrel|Kilowattrel]]'s (while it was a {{p|Wattrel}}) fear of heights. Roy's Pokémon also look up to [[Friede]]'s Pokémon, due to them being a {{t|Fire}} and {{type|Electric}}.

==In the games ==
===[[Pokémon Mezastar]]===
Roy, in a version based on the animated series, appeared in [[Pokémon Mezastar]]. In this game, Roy is seen using {{p|Quaxly}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Sprigatito}}, and {{p|Fuecoco}}, with Quaxly, Charizard, and Sprigatito being Pokémon that he was not seen using in the animated series, although it could be a reference to [[Dot's Quaxly]], [[Friede's Charizard]], and [[Liko's Sprigatito]]. In the [[Gorgeous Star set 1 (Mezastar)|first Gorgeous Star series]], as part of a tie-in with the animated series, [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] [[Liko]], Roy, [[Friede]] or [[Explorers]] Admin [[Amethio]], could randomly challenge the player as a Trainer and Battle opponent.

==Trivia ==
*Roy was originally designed by [[Ken Sugimori]] before being adapted for the animated series by the series' character designers.<ref name=anipoke20230303>[https://twitter.com/anipoke_PR/status/1631603322170769409 Tweet by アニメ「ポケットモンスター」公式 (@anipoke_PR).] Posted on March 3, 2023.</ref><ref name=LikoRoyConcept>[https://natalie.mu/comic/gallery/news/515226/2010334 Concept art on Natalie] (the concept art's file name is "riko_roy_sugimori.jpg")</ref>
*Roy has a stylized {{p|Unown}} “R” on his shirt, which directly alludes to his name.
*Roy is the first:
**Male main character to keep his Japanese name in the English dub of the animated series.
**Male main character to own a Pokémon that debuted before him, as {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} debuted one episode before [[HZ003|Roy's debut]].
**Main human character that didn't debut in the first episode of his series since {{an|Cilan}}.
**Main character to have obtained or caught a [[first partner Pokémon]] as their first Pokémon in their home region since {{an|Serena}}, who obtained her {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}} in ''[[XY004|A Shocking Cheeky Friendship!]]'', 435 episodes earlier.
**[[Rising Volt Tacklers]] member to defeat a [[Gym Leader]] in a [[Pokémon battle]].
**Male main character other than {{Ash}} to:
***Battle a member of the [[Elite Four]] onscreen.
***Defeat a {{pkmn|Champion}}.
***Be able to use more then one battle technique.
**Main character to catch a [[Shiny Pokémon]] offscreen.
*Roy's name was changed in the German, Spanish, French, and Portuguese localizations of the animated series, presumably due to a naming conflict with [[Raihan]], one of the [[Gym Leader]]s in {{g|Sword and Shield}}, who is named "Roy" in those languages. His name was also changed in the Korean localization of the animated series, presumably due to a naming conflict with [[James]], who is named "Roy" in that language.
*When {{Tera}}stallizing his {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}}, Roy uses the phrase '''sparkle, gem of dreams''' (Japanese: '''輝け、夢の結晶''' ''shine bright, crystallization of our dreams'').
*Roy's in-game [[Trainer ID number]] is 230512, the Japanese air date of ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]''.

'''Ethan''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ヒビキ}}''' ''Hibiki'') is the main {{player|playable character}} in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} and is the male choice in {{game|Crystal}}, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. In Crystal, his female counterpart is {{ga|Kris}}, while in HeartGold and SoulSilver, his female counterpart is {{ga|Lyra}}.

==Terminology==
He was first named '''Ethan''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ヒビキ}}''' ''Hibiki'') when he appeared as a [[non-player character]] in [[Generation IV]] games. He is also known by {{mas|Ethan|the same name}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]].

In the game manuals from [[Generation II]], his name depends on the game version: '''Gold'''{{sup/2|G}}, '''Silver'''{{sup/2|S}}, or '''Chris'''{{sup/2|C}} (Japanese: '''{{j|ゴールド}}''', '''{{j|シルバー}}''', or '''{{j|クリス}}''').

The different names are seen in the player's story from the game manuals. For instance:
* ''"The Professor showed '''Gold''' three Pokémon [...]"'' (referring to the player in Pokémon Gold's manual)
* ''"The Professor showed '''Silver''' three Pokémon [...]"'' (referring to the player in Pokémon Silver's manual)

In the player's story from Pokémon Crystal's manual, the Japanese name '''{{j|クリス}}''' simultaneously refers to either player character. However, this was adapted as "'''you'''" instead in the English version. For instance:

* Japanese version of Crystal's manual:
*: 「'''クリス'''はパートナーとなる1{{ruby|匹|ぴき}}のポケモンを{{ruby|選|えら}}ぶと」 ('''''Kris/Chris''' chooses 1 partner Pokémon and [...]'')
* English version of Crystal's manual:
*: ''"After '''you''' choose your Pokémon [...]"''

In several game screenshots from the English manual of Pokémon Crystal, the male player character is named '''Chris'''.

In the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo]], his name is '''{{j|サトシ}}'''{{sup/2|G}} ''Satoshi'' or '''{{j|シゲル}}'''{{sup/2|S}} ''Shigeru''. These are {{Ash}}'s and {{Gary}}'s respective Japanese names, and correspond to the second entry in the list of optional names for {{ga|Red}} and {{ga|Blue}} in {{game|Red and Green|s}}.

In [[Pokémon Puzzle Challenge]], he appears as an unnamed player character.

Before he received an official name in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, most fans called him '''Gold''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ゴールド}}''' ''Gold'').

==In the core series games==
===As the protagonist===
Ethan's journey as a {{pkmn|Trainer}} begins when [[Professor Elm]] asks him to run an errand for [[Mr. Pokémon]], who lives north of [[Cherrygrove City]] on {{rt|30|Johto}}. Because he may encounter dangerous [[wild Pokémon]] along the way, Elm gives him a choice between three Pokémon to protect him: {{p|Cyndaquil}}, {{p|Totodile}} or {{p|Chikorita}}.

Ethan spots another boy his age watching Elm's Lab from outside. When Ethan tries to talk to him, the boy abruptly shoves him away. This boy, {{ga|Silver}}, will become Ethan's rival.

Ethan continues onward and finally meets Mr. Pokémon and completes his errand. While there he meets [[Professor Oak]] who, upon realizing Ethan's bond with his new Pokémon, gives him a [[Pokédex]]. On his way back home, Ethan again meets Silver, who has stolen one of Elm's remaining Pokémon. After defeating the boy in battle, the boy tells Ethan his name{{sup/2|GSC}}/Ethan learns the boy's name from his dropped {{ga|Trainer Card}}{{sup/4|HGSS}}, and Ethan relays it to the police in New Bark Town. Professor Elm allows Ethan to keep the Pokémon he chose earlier, and also encourages him to compete in the [[Johto League]].

Ethan begins on a Pokémon journey in the [[Johto]] [[region]], facing off against its eight [[Gym Leader]]s, defeating and disbanding the revived [[Team Rocket]], and becoming [[Pokémon Champion|Pokémon League Champion]] by defeating the [[Elite Four]] and its previous Champion, [[Lance]] at [[Indigo Plateau]]. Along the way he also teaches Silver to respect Pokémon as living creatures and not just as tools for battle.

After being declared the Pokémon League Champion, Ethan then journeys by [[S.S. Aqua|ship]] from [[Olivine City]] to [[Vermilion City]] in [[Kanto]]. Traveling around that region, he battles against another set of eight Gym Leaders. Upon getting permission from [[Professor Oak]] in [[Pallet Town]], Ethan heads for [[Mt. Silver]] via {{rt|28|Kanto}}. His journey comes to a close when, deep in Mt. Silver's cave, he faces the Champion from Pallet Town, Pokémon Trainer {{ga|Red}}, who had been training there since shortly after he became Pokémon League Champion [[Generation I|three]] [[Generation III|years prior]].

===As a non-playable character===
====Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal====
In {{game|Crystal}}, if {{ga|Kris}} is selected, then the male player character does not appear in the game, except as an opponent in the [[Trainer House]]. Even when playing as Kris, the player's sprite is changed to Ethan's during link battles and in the [[Trainer House]].

====Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver====
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, if playing as {{ga|Lyra}}, Ethan appears as an NPC in the game. When playing as Ethan, Lyra takes on this role instead.

Ethan meets the player in [[New Bark Town]] at the start of the game. In this particular scene, he is seen with a {{p|Marill}}. He teaches the player how to catch Pokémon on {{rt|29|Johto}} (replacing the [[Dude]] from {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}). His grandparents run the [[Pokémon Day Care]] on {{rt|34|Johto}}. He also gives the player the [[Fashion Case]] in [[Goldenrod Tunnel]] and the [[Vs. Recorder]] on {{rt|31|Johto}}.

When called from certain locations, Ethan will mention that something will happen if the player takes a certain Pokémon there.

====Pokémon====
Ethan uses this party to show the {{player}} how to catch Pokémon when {{ga|Lyra}} is selected as the player character in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

[[File:Jimmy.png|thumb|250px|{{jo|Jimmy}}, Ethan's first animation counterpart]]
====''Pokémon the Series''====
{{main|Jimmy (Johto)}}
{{jo|Jimmy}}, the main protagonist of ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', is the first {{pkmn|animation}} counterpart of Ethan, and seems to be based on him in the most basic sense, much more than {{Ash}} was based on his game counterpart, {{ga|Red}}. {{jo|Jimmy}} follows Ethan's design from {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. Much like Ethan, Jimmy is from [[New Bark Town]] and receives [[Jimmy's Typhlosion|a first partner Pokémon]] from Professor Elm. He also encounters the counterparts of [[Silver (game)#Counterparts|Silver]] and [[Marina (Johto)|Kris]] on his journey.

Ethan's second counterpart has a cameo appearance at the beginning of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'', where he had a {{pkmn|battle}} against Ash. This counterpart follows Ethan's updated design from {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. It has been argued that this is Jimmy in an updated look, rather than a different counterpart, but this counterpart is identified as "Hibiki" (Ethan's Japanese name) in the Japanese DVD of the movie.

====Pokémon Generations====
Ethan made two brief appearances in ''[[PG04|The Lake of Rage]]''. First, he and [[Lance]] infiltrated the [[Team Rocket HQ]] separately. He then communicated with Lance through his [[Pokégear]] about updates on their mission, and acted as a decoy for Lance's attacks.

Much like the other [[player character]]s depicted in Pokémon Generations, Ethan doesn't have any lines of dialogue.

==Trivia==
[[File:Sugimori Jimmy anime.png|Concept art of Jimmy for ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' by Ken Sugimori|thumb|220px]]
* The {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} artwork was originally presented in the '''''Official Guidebook of [[Nintendo Space World]] '97''''' (Japanese: '''{{j|NINTENDOスペースワールド'97オフィシャルガイドブック}}'''), along with {{ga|Silver}}, {{prof|Oak}}, {{tc|School Kid|Schoolboy}}, {{tc|Lass}}, {{tc|Firebreather}}, [[Kimono Girl]], {{tc|Fisher}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Slowking}}, {{p|Ampharos}}, {{p|Donphan}}, and the [[List of Pokémon by New Pokédex number|new Pokédex]].
* A 1997 pamphlet describing {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} mentions that the protagonist has a brother three years his senior. However, this aspect of his character was discarded by the time of the final release.
* Ethan is 4'11" (1.50 m) tall and weighs 88.2 lbs (40 kg) in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. This was confirmed by checking the heights and weights of certain {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the [[Pokédex]]. As such, {{p|Clefable}} and {{p|Latias}} are both the same weight as Ethan.
* Ethan is the only male player character to have two female counterparts; {{ga|Kris}} and {{ga|Lyra}}, or two {{pkmn|animation}} counterparts; {{jo|Jimmy}} and a cameo appearence at the beginning of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.
** Ethan's first animation counterpart having a different name, Jimmy, likely stems from the fact that Ethan did not become his canon name until {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.
* The majority of his Japanese default names from {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} are shared with {{ga|Red}} and {{ga|Lucas}}. The same holds true for their {{ga|Lyra|respective}} {{ga|Leaf|female}} {{ga|Dawn|counterparts}}.
* On the "Area" map on the [[Pokédex]] in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Ethan's headshot sprite shows his hat from {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}. An earlier, unused version of this sprite is also found within other scrapped [[Pokégear]] graphics data, in which {{ga|Kris}} appears instead of {{ga|Lyra}}.
* In [[Generation IV]], Ethan is depicted with two different eye colors. His eyes are gray in his Generation IV artwork while they are brown in the HeartGold and SoulSilver games, as seen in the opening animation.
* One of {{SSB|Pokémon Trainer}}'s palette swaps in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]] has a color scheme based on Ethan's appearance in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}.
* The Japanese optional name カケル ''Kakeru'', along with the English optional name ''Chase'', were eventually given to the {{ga|Chase|male protagonist}} of [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]].

'''Nurse Joy''' (Japanese: '''ジョーイ''' ''Joy'', referred to as '''ジョーイさん''' ''Joy-{{wp|Japanese honorifics#San|san}}'' by most characters) are kind doctors who take care of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. As revealed in ''[[DP028|Drifloon in the Wind!]]'', Joy is not the first name of these women, but actually the family name. They are based on the [[Pokémon Center lady|Pokémon Center ladies]] from the {{pkmn|games}}.

====History====
====={{aniseries|OS}}=====
======Kanto======
[[File:Nurse Joy.png|thumb|left|250px|Nurse Joy before {{aniseries|BW}}]]
Nurse Joy debuted in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]''. With his {{AP|Pikachu}} critically injured from the [[EP001|events of the last episode]], Ash rushed the Electric Mouse Pokémon to the Pokémon Center in [[Viridian City]] with the help of the [[Officer Jenny]] of the area. After healing Pikachu, {{TRT}} overtook the Pokémon Center, forcing her to rely on her own {{p|Pikachu}} generator built inside the lab. While they hid from Team Rocket, Nurse Joy activated the computer and started to transfer the Poké Balls containing injured Pokémon to the Pokémon Center in [[Pewter City]]. The next morning, Pewter City's Nurse Joy called and told her sister that all the Pokémon had made it safely to her center, to which the Viridian Nurse Joy was grateful.

Vermilion City's Nurse Joy and Chansey were often busy thanks to [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]]. She stopped Ash and Misty from fighting, reminding them that the hospital required peace. Following Ash's Gym defeat in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'', Nurse Joy offered Ash her [[Thunder Stone]] to evolve Pikachu into Raichu, but Ash accepted Pikachu's refusal to do so. Nurse Joy then advised Ash that Pikachu would require more rest to regain its stamina for its upcoming rematch.

In ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]'', Ash went to Nurse Joy to heal Pikachu after he developed a cold. This Nurse Joy was uncharacteristically ill-tempered, but nevertheless, she instructed Ash to leave Pikachu with her overnight. Meanwhile, a horde of {{p|Grimer}} stopped the local hydroelectric plant from working. The power outage cut off power to all of the Pokémon Center's machines, which threatened all of the ill and injured Pokémon. After Ash caught {{AP|Muk}}, [[Gringey City]]'s power was restored. Afterwards, Nurse Joy thanked Ash for his assistance, which helped inspire her to become a better nurse.

In ''[[EP036|The Bridge Bike Gang]]'', Nurse Joy was supposed to deliver medicine for injured Pokémon over in [[Sunnytown]], but was unable to leave the Pokémon Center because of other commitments. She gave Ash and his friends the medicine as they volunteered to deliver it to Sunnytown. After dealing with a bike gang, the group successfully arrived in Sunnytown. The Nurse Joy there fed it to a {{p|Shellder}}, and it became well.

A Nurse Joy working for the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency]] arrived in [[Dark City]] to authenticate the currently unofficial Yas and Kaz Gyms in ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]''. She ultimately determined that neither Gym was worthy of being an official Gym because they were using Pokémon as gang tools. As a result, the two rival Gyms agreed to stop their street fighting and work together to reconstruct Dark City.

In ''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]'', Nurse Joy ran some tests on [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] when its bulb was glowing. She revealed to Ash that Bulbasaur was about to evolve due to the planet alignment and lunar cycle, though it refused, much to the disappointment of the other now-evolved {{p|Ivysaur}} and {{p|Venusaur}}.

In ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', a Nurse Joy with dreams of entering the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]] took the [[Pokémon League Admissions Exam]]. She explained to Ash and his friends that she opted for taking the test because her work keeps her from traveling and gathering the required [[Gym]] [[Badge]]s. She was one of the top-scoring applicants in the theoretical portions of the exam, but was later told by [[Pokémon League entrance exam instructor|one of the instructors]] that she would have to take the test again after a disturbance caused by Team Rocket.

[[Old Shore Wharf]]'s Nurse Joy was kidnapped and hypnotized by {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''. Her medical expertise and Pokémon knowledge was pivotal to the success of Mewtwo's [[cloning]] operation on [[New Island]]. Nurse Joy was featured on the hologram {{pkmn|Trainer}} invitations. Throughout the movie she was dressed in a frilled long-sleeved dress with a hat, which obscured her iconic Nurse Joy appearance. She formally greeted the Trainers to New Island, and after Mewtwo released her from its possession, she was formally revealed to be the same missing Nurse Joy from Old Shore Wharf. She watched on in horror as the Pokémon and their clones fought on. After the resolution, like all other characters and their respective Pokémon, she had her memory wiped and was returned to Old Shore Wharf. Ash and his friends saw her again at her Pokémon Center at Old Shore Wharf, where she was helping other Trainers while they sought refuge from a strong storm. This Nurse Joy reappeared in ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]'', a remake of ''Mewtwo Strikes Back'', where she played the same role.

Several Nurse Joys from all across [[Kanto]] were present at the [[Indigo Plateau]] to help heal all of the Pokémon League competitors' Pokémon. In ''[[EP079|Friend and Foe Alike]]'', a Nurse Joy reminded Ash that losing against a friend like [[Ritchie]] meant he could support him.

======Orange Islands======
[[File:Nurse Joy EP092.png|thumb|220px|Nurse Joy as seen in ''[[EP092|The Joy of Pokémon]]'']]
Ash and his friends found a Pokémon Center on [[Valencia Island]] in ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]''. There, Nurse Joy directed them to [[Professor Ivy]]'s laboratory and stated that she was the second cousin of the sister-in-law of [[Saffron City]]'s Nurse Joy.

In ''[[EP084|The Lost Lapras]]'', Ash took a sick {{AP|Lapras}} to Nurse Joy on [[Tangelo Island]]. She concluded that Lapras needed rest and had become afraid of human contact since the incident with the [[three punks]]. She filled in Ash about the [[Orange League|Orange Crew]] on the Orange Islands.

A Nurse Joy led an excavation crew on [[Fukuhara Island No. 4]] in ''[[EP089|Shell Shock]]''. A {{OBP|reporter|EP089}} interviewed Nurse Joy about the {{p|Kabuto}} inhabiting there. She later led them to the fossils within a cave in the island, even though [[Umberto]] warned them about not disturbing the fossils. When the island was about to get swallowed up by the tide, she boarded a raft that the crew had made and safely rafted away on it.

In ''[[EP092|The Joy of Pokémon]]'', a tan and muscular Nurse Joy Ash and his friends met on an {{OBP|unnamed island|EP092}} went from island to island to help sick and injured Pokémon. She invited them to her local clinic for lunch. The group volunteered to help out Nurse Joy on taking care of the sick Pokémon. Later, while Joy was attempting to help baby {{p|Seel}}, Team Rocket arrived and trapped the group in a net. It wasn't until a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{p|Gyarados}} removed the net that Joy got a chance to finally take care of the baby Seel.

In ''[[EP097|Tracey Gets Bugged]]'', [[Murcott Island]]'s Nurse Joy and Chansey worked on {{Tracey}}'s newly caught {{TP|Tracey|Scyther}}. Joy concluded that it had lost its swarm leadership position from battling a younger {{p|Scyther}}, thus forcing it into exile. She carefully took Scyther's bandages off before it responded to its swarm's cries from Team Rocket attempting to capture it. The battle against Team Rocket restored respect between Tracey's Scyther and the others.

On [[Butwal Island]], Nurse Joy is responsible for managing the weekly airdropped supplies from Valencia Island in addition to her duties at the local Pokémon Center, as revealed in ''[[EP107|Pokémon Food Fight]]''. She also repaired Ash's broken {{i|Poké Ball}}, allowing him to return his {{AP|Snorlax}}.

In [[EP250]], Nurse Joy ran a Pokémon Center in the [[Ice Path|Ice Cave]]. She had some {{type|Ice}} Pokémon there instead of a Chansey. The Nurse Joy from the Orange Island was seen in a photograph in that episode, and was said to be the elder sister of the nurse in charge of the Pokémon Center in the Ice Cave.

In ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'', upon returning to [[Viridian City]], it was revealed that the local Nurse Joy had since repaired Misty's bicycle after it was [[EP001|stolen and destroyed]] by Ash. Misty was thrilled to have her bike finally returned to her, though she was also saddened because this meant she was officially splitting up with Ash and Brock because of her acquired responsibilities at the [[Cerulean Gym]].

====={{aniseries|RS}}=====
======Hoenn======
In ''[[AG002|A Ruin with a View]]'', {{an|May}} was introduced to [[Oldale Town]]'s Nurse Joy and learned about the Pokémon Center. Nurse Joy allowed [[Professor Alden]] to use one the Center's rooms as an office for his ongoing research. Nurse Joy, May, and Ash were later locked in a storage room by [[Team Magma]] but escaped through the vents.

Nurse Joy first appeared as one of the [[Contest Judge]]s during the [[Rustboro City]] [[Pokémon Contest]] in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]''. The local Nurse Joy fulfill these roles across other [[Hoenn]] Contest events, as well as those in [[Kanto]] and [[Sinnoh]].

Unfortunately, the {{p|Torchic}} evolved, leaving only {{p|Mudkip}} and {{p|Treecko}} for the new Trainers. As a result, Nurse Joy decided to keep the newly evolved {{p|Combusken}} to help guard the Pokémon Center.

In ''[[AG037|Jump for Joy!]]'', the Nurse Joy of [[Mauville City]] was kidnapped by a wild {{p|Shiftry}} after a {{p|Nuzleaf}} in its group fell ill.

With Brock's help, Nurse Joy healed Nuzleaf, allowing Shiftry and the other {{type|Grass}} Pokémon to return her to her Center.

The Nurse Joy of [[Petalburg City]] was revealed to also be a pyrotechnic expert. As a result, in ''[[AG069|Love, Petalburg Style!]]'', she secretly helped [[Norman]] arrange a {{p|Beautifly}}-shaped fireworks display to celebrate his anniversary with [[Caroline]]. However, their secret meetings were discovered by Caroline and Norman's assistant {{ho|Kenny}}, and initially mistaken as signs of Norman having an affair with Nurse Joy. Eventually, the true purpose of Norman and Nurse Joy's meetings were revealed when {{TRT}} accidentally sabotaged the machine meant to fire the fireworks.

In ''[[AG087|Crazy as a Lunatone]]'', a Nurse Joy was possessed by a {{p|Lunatone}} in [[Volley Town]]. Unlike the other Nurse Joys, she didn't allow Ash and his friends to stay in a room for the night. Later, Nurse Joy went back to normal when Lunatone collapsed after using {{m|Psychic}}. Since Lunatone's condition became bad, Nurse Joy, with the help of the group, took Lunatone to {{DL|Volley Town|Camerupt Point}}.

In ''[[AG108|Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snorunt!]]'', a Nurse Joy ran her Pokémon Center on the snowy part of [[Izabe Island]]. A {{AP|Snorunt}} would come by that particular Pokémon Center and take things from visitors. When Ash was in a snow cave, Nurse Joy and the others came by to pick him up. However, before Ash could reunite with Nurse Joy and the others, Team Rocket interrupted them by catching Pikachu and Snorunt. Snorunt was able to escape and Nurse Joy thought of a plan to get Pikachu back which involved Ash throwing Snorunt at Team Rocket's balloon.

======Kanto Battle Frontier======
[[Potpourri Island]]'s Nurse Joy runs the Pokémon Orienteering Festival seen in ''[[AG159|Off the Unbeaten Path]]''.

Nurse Joy eventually declared [[James]] the winner and later alerted May to the nearby [[Wisteria Town]] Contest.

In ''[[AG186|Overjoyed!]]'', Scott introduced Ash and his friends to [[Fennel Valley]]'s Nurse Joy, who was a big fan of battles and Pokémon Contests. Nurse Joy, a former Pokémon Trainer, offered Ash a practice battle to prepare him against [[Brandon]], which he accepts. Her Chansey battled {{AP|Corphish}} and won with a close-range {{m|Solar Beam}}. This Nurse Joy appeared from ''Overjoyed!'' to ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]''.

====={{aniseries|DP}}=====
Two young Joys, named [[Marnie and Paige]], appeared in ''[[DP028|Drifloon on the Wind]]'', where it was revealed that Joy is the surname of the family, rather than the given name of each individual woman. Their mother, of course, was an ordinary Nurse Joy.

In ''[[DP033|All Dressed Up With Somewhere To Go!]]'', a Nurse Joy acted as one of the judges of the [[Pokémon Dress-Up Contest]], overseeing the competition along with [[Mr. Sukizo]] and [[Officer Jenny]].

While attempting to seek a Nurse Joy to investigate Brock's glowing {{pkmn|Egg}} in ''[[DP038|One BIg Happiny Family!]]'', the group found a seemingly abandoned Pokémon Center. A Chansey directed the group to a crying Nurse Joy, who revealed that the Cycling Road has stopped servicing customers. With encouragement from Brock and Chansey, she regained her composure and examined the Egg before it hatched into {{TP|Brock|Happiny}}. Following Nurse Joy's advice, Brock located a round stone for Happiny to carry in her pouch in order to keep her happy.

In ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love!]]'', [[Sandalstraw Town]]'s Nurse Joy ran some tests on [[Dawn's Piplup]] and realized it was about to evolve. However, since Piplup refused to evolve and had been using {{m|Bide}} to stop it from happening, Nurse Joy gave {{an|Dawn}} an [[Everstone]].

In ''[[DP167|Teaching the Student Teacher!]]'', the Nurse Joy who runs the [[Neighborly Town]] Pokémon Center was busy taking care of too many Pokémon. For this reason, she would not be able to attend the town's Pokémon Contest and so [[Johanna]] agreed to fill in for her.

In ''[[DP174|Last Call — First Round!]]'', three Nurse Joys judged the [[Appeal|Performance Stage]] of the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]]: the Nurse Joy from [[Jubilife City]] judged the Red Stage along with [[Top Coordinator]] [[Fantina]], the Nurse Joy from [[Pastoria City]] judged the Green Stage along with [[Mr. Sukizo]], and the Nurse Joy from [[Lilycove City]] judged the Blue Stage along with [[Raoul Contesta]]. After the Performance Stage was over, the only Nurse Joy who judged the [[Contest Battle|Battle Stage]] was the one from Lilycove City.

====={{aniseries|BW}}=====
[[File:Nurse Joy anime BW.png|thumb|250px|Nurse Joy in ''Pokémon the Series: Black & White'']]
======Unova======
In ''[[BW002|Enter Iris and Axew!]]'', Nurse Joy's redesign debuted. {{TP|Nurse Joy|Audino}}, the standard partner of the Nurse Joys of [[Unova]], debuted in ''[[BW006|Dreams by the Yard Full!]]''.

======Decolore Islands======
After foiling another one of Team Rocket's plans in ''[[BW124|Danger, Sweet as Honey!]]'', Ash and his friends headed to the [[Pokémon Center]] to have their Pokémon healed. After arriving, Nurse Joy explained that the mountains have many dangerous Pokémon such as {{p|Beedrill}} and {{p|Ursaring}} and noted that it would have been safer to go through the coastline route. After which, Audino informed them that the honey and dessert were ready. Nurse Joy then invited them in and began serving them desserts.

In ''[[BW127|The Island of Illusions!]]'', a rather elderly Nurse Joy first appeared overhearing the group's conversation on the mysterious shadow they just saw. Later, she appeared protecting the group from a [[Giant Pokémon|giant]] {{p|Heatmor}} and disappeared along with the Heatmor and the {{a|Illusion|mysterious fog}}. After successfully reaching a rather desolate Pokémon Center and curing [[Iris's Axew]]'s [[Sleep (status condition)|sleep]], the group encountered her again where she revealed herself to be an older Nurse Joy tasked with the special duty of investigating established Pokémon Centers. She explained that she had been receiving reports of a Pokémon Center operating illegally on the island, which is why she was deployed to investigate. When {{p|Zoroark}} created an illusion of the past and explained the reasons behind illegally keeping the Pokémon Center open all this time, a moved Nurse Joy agreed to keep the Center running for the wild Pokémon and asks for Zoroark's assistance in doing so, to which it happily agrees. Later, she and the Illusion Fox Pokémon bid farewell to the group as they set off on their new adventure.

A Nurse Joy living on [[Torom Island]] appeared in ''[[BW128|To Catch a Rotom!]]''. She explained that the {{p|Rotom}} on the island find the local power plant's electricity delicious, so the lights were always flickering on and off. In addition, the island's {{p|Rotom}} used to play pranks on the people of the island, so the locals created a playground of electrical devices where the Rotom could play without bothering anyone. {{an|Professor Oak}} then decided to go with Ash and his friends to this electrical playground, where they hoped to see a Rotom.

In ''[[BW133|Capacia Island UFO!]]'', Nurse Joy first appeared with her Audino, greeting Ash, {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}} upon their arrival in the Pokémon Center. Next morning, as Ash looked for help after seeing Iris, Axew and Cilan's faces turned odd, she revealed her face to have turned odd as well, much to his horror. She is then seen gathering the townspeople along with Audino and [[Officer Jenny]] to listen to what {{p|Beheeyem}} has to say.

In ''[[BW138|Go, Go Gogoat!]]'', Nurse Joy participated in [[Alexa]]'s recording. She explained how the latest equipment functioned at twice the normal speed and allowed her to repair any equipment or medicine she might need for a Pokémon's treatment. She was then seen carrying Ash and {{ashfr}}' Poké Balls for a thorough inspection of their Pokémon.

====={{aniseries|XY}}=====
[[File:Nurse Joy anime XY.png|thumb|250px|Nurse Joy in ''Pokémon the Series: XY'']]
She received another redesign at the beginning of ''Pokémon the Series: XY''.

In ''[[XY021|A Pokévision of Things to Come!]]'', Nurse Joy starred in a [[Pokévision]] video with her {{TP|Nurse Joy|Wigglytuff}} where they made it to the top 10.

In ''[[XY046|The Clumsy Crier Quiets the Chaos!]]'', Nurse Joy dealt with a clumsy Wigglytuff. As a result of a {{p|Salamence}} going on a rampage, she had to deal with many injured Pokémon, including a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}'s {{p|Teddiursa}}. Nurse Joy told a tale to the group about how Wigglytuff became her helpers in the [[Kalos]] region. Team Rocket came by and stole Pikachu and Wigglytuff. They accidentally wake up the same Salamence from before. Nurse Joy and the group came by to retrieve Pikachu and Wigglytuff. Nurse Joy attempted to calm Salamence but it attacked with {{m|Flamethrower}}. Wigglytuff {{m|protect}}ed her from Salamence's attack, retelling the tale that another Wigglytuff did with the {{p|Flygon}}. Wigglytuff was able to calm Salamence and Salamence managed to defeat Team Rocket with {{m|Hyper Beam}}.

In ''[[XY096|A Giga Battle with Mega Results!]]'', Nurse Joy searched for a Mega Stone for her Audino. While doing so, her leg became stuck in a fissure. She was unable to get out until Ash and his friends found her stuck there. Using {{an|Clemont}}'s [[Clemontic Gear|Aipom Arm]], the group was able to get Nurse Joy out of the fissure. As a reward, she took the group to the Pokémon Center she worked in. Inside, an Audino she was working with did not get along with her as she left without telling it where she was going. When a Trainer was rushing in with an injured {{p|Makuhita}}, both Nurse Joy and Audino put aside their differences and treated the Makuhita right away, only to go back to fighting again. Nurse Joy revealed that their fighting occurred ever since the [[Head Nurse]] put Audino with her. Outside, Team Rocket broke in the Pokémon Center and stole all the Poké Balls. Nurse Joy took on Team Rocket with Audino by Mega Evolving it. After using Mega Audino's {{m|Heal Pulse}}, Ash was able to defeat Team Rocket with Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}}. As a result, Nurse Joy and Audino both got along with each other.

====={{aniseries|SM}}=====
[[File:Nurse Joy anime SM.png|thumb|250px|Nurse Joy in ''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon'']]
Nurse Joy received another redesign for ''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon''. In the [[Alola]] region, her assistants are {{TP|Nurse Joy|Comfey}} and {{TP|Nurse Joy|Blissey}}. Each island of Alola has its own Nurse Joy, with the four of them being sisters.

[[Melemele Island]]'s Nurse Joy, who runs the {{rt|1|Alola}} [[Pokémon Center]], debuted in ''[[SM004|First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-Style!]]'', in which she met {{Ash}} for the first time and treated his {{AP|Pikachu}}. The Nurse Joy from [[Akala Island]] first appeared in ''[[SM031|The Island Whisperer!]]'', where she was seen working in her Pokémon Center in [[Paniola Town]].

In ''[[SM068|Real Life...Inquire Within!]]'', Ash and {{ashcl}} were on work experience at the Melemele Island Pokémon Center when local Nurse Joy became ill. Ash and his classmates volunteered to substitute for her, and the Nurse Joy from Akala Island later appeared to assist the group in the treatment of [[Zipp]]'s {{p|Garbodor}}. At the end of the episode, the Nurse Joy from Melemele Island had recovered from her cold.

Melemele Island's Nurse Joy reappeared in ''[[SM102|Alola, Alola!]]'', where she received help from {{an|Brock}} who was visiting the Alola Region. The [[SM103|next episode]] revealed that as a thank you for helping her, Nurse Joy had given Brock one of her {{TP|Brock|Comfey}}.

[[Poni Island]]'s Nurse Joy appeared from ''[[SM104|That's Some Spicy Island Research!]]'' to ''[[SM109|A Grand Debut!]]''. Ash and his classmates stayed with her at the [[Seafolk Village]] Pokémon Center while they completed their school projects.

[[Ula'ula Island]]'s Nurse Joy debuted in ''[[SM117|Drawn with the Wind!]]''.

All four Nurse Joy sisters appeared in ''[[SM129|Battle Royal 151!]]'', where they were on standby during the [[Manalo Conference]].

====={{aniseries|JN}}=====
In ''[[JN006|Working My Way Back to Mew!]]'', {{Ash}} and [[Goh]] visited a Kantonian Nurse Joy after {{TP|Goh|Scorbunny}} was {{status|poison}}ed by a wild {{p|Venonat}}'s {{m|Poison Powder}}. She briefly took Scorbunny into her care and healed it.

In ''[[JN021|Caring for a Mystery!]]'', the same Nurse Joy who gave Ash the Thunder Stone gave Ash an Egg that eventually hatched into a {{AP|Riolu}}.

In ''[[JN022|Goodbye, Friend!]]'', [[Littleroot Town]]'s Nurse Joy gave Ash and Goh an advice on how to locate migrating {{p|Beautifly}}.

A Galarian Nurse Joy debuted in ''[[JN027|Toughing It Out!]]''. Unlike her other regional designs, she doesn't wear any pink; rather, she wears a gray-and-white uniforms. It was also revealed that Galar's Nurse Joy employ {{p|Indeedee}} as their assistants. In the episode, [[Wyndon]]'s Nurse Joy healed Ash's {{rf|Galarian}} {{AP|Farfetch'd}}. She reappeared in [[JN028|the next episode]].

[[File:Alternate World Nurse Joy.png|thumb|250px|Alternate World Nurse Joy]]
An alternate version of Nurse Joy from the {{pkmn|multiverse#In animation|Alternate World}} appeared in ''[[JN090|Showdown at the Gates of Warp!]]''. She operates the Pokémon Center in [[Sandgem Town]].

In ''[[JN144|Getting to the Heart of it All!]]'', a Nurse Joy was revealed to have lost her [[Substitute (doll)|substitute doll]] when her family moved in her childhood. This doll was later reborn as a {{p|Banette}} and started searching for its owner. Thanks to Ash and his friends, Banette was reunited with Nurse Joy and became her assistant.

====Character====
Nurse Joy is not a single entity. Rather, there are many Joys who work as nurses across the various regions of the [[Pokémon world]]. As a rule, Nurse Joys are kind, earnest, honest Pokémon nurses who take care of sick and injured Pokémon, but will confront a [[Pokémon Trainer]] if they are not properly caring for their Pokémon.

Nurse Joys are all extremely similar-looking relatives. They are not entirely identical, though aside from themselves, it seems that {{an|Brock}} is the only one who can tell them apart. However, each Nurse Joy will have a different color cross on her hat that indicates which location she works at. The trait of a family made up of nearly identical members is also shared by [[Officer Jenny]], [[Don George]], and [[Porter]].

[[File:Marnie and Paige.png|thumb|left|220px|Two young Joys named [[Marnie and Paige]]]]
There are several notable Nurse Joys who appear vastly different from the others. A Nurse Joy acts as the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency|Pokémon League inspector]] in ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'', her first appearance as anything but an ordinary Nurse Joy. Another Nurse Joy living in the [[Orange Islands]] has made her career instead as an archaeologist, leading an expedition to [[Fukuhara Island No. 4]] in ''[[EP089|Shell Shock]]''. A muscle-bound, kayak-paddling Nurse Joy who also lives in the archipelago was featured, along with her befriended {{pkmn2|giant}} {{p|Magikarp}}, in ''[[EP092|The Joy of Pokémon]]''. Other Nurse Joys living on the islands have a noticeably darker skin tone than their mainland counterparts, likely due to living in a more tropical region. In ''[[BW127|The Island of Illusions!]]'', a Nurse Joy appears as a Pokémon Center investigator, tasked with the investigation of illegally operating Pokémon Centers. Not unlike the Pokémon League inspector Nurse Joy, her first appearance did not allude to her true identity, and she was visibly older when she finally revealed herself.

Although there are many exceptions, Nurse Joy will generally have {{TP|Nurse Joy|Chansey}} in [[Kanto]], the [[Orange Islands]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], and [[Sinnoh]], {{TP|Nurse Joy|Audino}} in [[Unova]] and the [[Decolore Islands]], {{TP|Nurse Joy|Wigglytuff}} in [[Kalos]], {{TP|Nurse Joy|Blissey}} and {{TP|Nurse Joy|Comfey}} in [[Alola]], and {{p|Indeedee}} in [[Galar]] to assist her.

Nurse Joys give out [[first partner Pokémon]] to beginning Trainers in towns or cities without [[Pokémon Professor]]s, such as [[Slateport City]]. Adhering to their role as government workers, they may also work as inspectors for the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency]], grading Pokémon Gyms. Nurse Joys living in locations with [[Contest Hall]]s will also be a part of the [[Contest Judge|panel of judges]] for [[Pokémon Contest]]s and [[Grand Festival]] tournaments. When reviewing a Pokémon's [[Appeal|performance]] or [[Contest Battle|battle]], Nurse Joys will often comment on the Pokémon's health and sync with the {{pkmn|Coordinator}}. Unlike fellow judges [[Raoul Contesta|Mr. Contesta]] and [[Mr. Sukizo]], who only judge competitions sanctioned by the [[Pokémon Activities Committee]], Nurse Joy has been seen judging informal Pokémon Contests in ''[[AG191|Once More With Reeling!]]'' and ''[[DP022|Borrowing on Bad Faith!]]''.

===''I Choose You!'' trilogy===
[[File:Nurse Joy M20.png|thumb|250px|Nurse Joy as seen in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'']]
Three Nurse Joy appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', which is part of a [[I Choose You! trilogy|trilogy]] set in a different continuity from the {{pkmn|animated series}}.

One of them was seen operating a [[Pokémon Center]] in a forest, where she healed [[Verity]]'s Pokémon. She then warned Verity about {{TRT}}, who were wanted for stealing Pokémon. Shortly after, a Trainer came running in the Pokémon Center with his injured {{p|Vaporeon}}, who the Trainer claimed was defeated by an {{p|Entei}}. Nurse Joy proceeded to take care of Vaporeon, but was shocked when she saw all of the Trainers in the Pokémon Center leaving to chase after Entei.

Another Nurse Joy was seen operating a Pokémon Center in an unnamed town. She healed [[Ash's Charmeleon]] after it got badly injured in a battle with [[Cross]].

A third Nurse Joy operated a Pokémon Center near a lake, close to the [[Mt. Tensei|Raizen Mountains]]. She healed {{OBP|Ash's Pikachu|M20}} after he had battled with {{an|Ho-Oh}}.

A Nurse Joy later appeared in ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', where she was seen working in the [[Pokémon Center]] of [[Fula City]].

==Trivia==
[[File:Nurse Joy photo.png|thumb|250px|A photo of the Nurse Joys from Kalos]]
* Nurse Joy, [[Officer Jenny]], and [[Don George]] all have Japanese names that begin with the kana ジ, while their English names all start with the same sound, {{wp|Voiced palato-alveolar affricate|dʒ}}. They also all happen to be part of a large, extended family.
* Every Nurse Joy in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Unova]] can be easily told apart by the color of the cross on their hat, while Nurse Joys in [[Kalos]] are told apart by the color of the badge on their lapel. Colors can repeat in different regions, however.
* Nurse Joy is the third character in the English dub to have her original voice actress reprise her role following [[Pokémon USA recasting controversy|the voice actor switch]], after {{an|Giovanni}} and [[Raoul Contesta]].
** Both of Nurse Joy's voice actresses during the [[4Kids Entertainment]] [[dub]], [[Megan Hollingshead]] and [[Bella Hudson]], have reprised their roles at one point since [[The Pokémon Company International]] took over the dubbing of the {{pkmn|animated series}}.
** Nurse Joy is the only female character with this distinction, and the only one who wasn’t voiced by [[Craig Blair]] prior to regaining her original voice actress.
* Nurse Joy was the first character from a previous series to appear in ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''.

'''Blastoise''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カメックス''' ''Kamex'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

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

Blastoise has two forms: '''Mega Blastoise''' and '''Gigantamax Blastoise'''. It can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Blastoise using the [[Blastoisinite]], and can [[Gigantamax]] into Gigantamax Blastoise if it has the {{DL|Gigantamax|Gigantamax Factor}}. Gigantamax Blastoise was introduced in [[The Isle of Armor]].

Blastoise is the [[game mascot]] of the [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Japanese]] and international versions of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Blue]], appearing on the boxart of both games.

==Biology==
[[File:Blastoise shell EP060.png|thumb|left|200px|Blastoise inside its shell]]
Blastoise is a large, bipedal {{wp|turtle}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Its body is blue and is mostly hidden by its tough, brown shell. This shell has a cream-colored underside and a white ridge encircling its arms and separating the upper and lower halves. Two powerful water cannons/jet nozzles reside at the top of its shell over its shoulders. These cannons can be extended or withdrawn. Blastoise's head has triangular ears that are black on the inside, small brown eyes, and a cream-colored lower jaw. Its arms are thick, and it has three claws on each hand. Its feet have three claws on the front and one on the back. Poking out of the bottom of its shell is a stubby tail.

The powerful cannons on this Pokémon's back can produce water blasts that can pierce steel and concrete and be used for high-speed charges. The speed of Blastoise's charges is similar to the force of a rocket. Blastoise makes itself heavy to withstand these powerful blasts and crush its opponents. It is shown in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP060|Beach Blank-Out Blastoise]]'' that Blastoise can take the role of a leader in large groups of {{p|Squirtle}} and {{p|Wartortle}}. Its preferred habitat seems to be {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's Edge Pokémon|freshwater ponds and lakes}}. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Blastoise is known to sleep soundly while protected by its tough shell.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> Blastoise has also been seen sleeping with its belly exposed on very rare occasions. This is due to Blastoise feeling completely secure in its surroundings and quickly falling asleep.

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

===Forms===
Blastoise has two forms: Mega Blastoise and [[Gigantamax]] Blastoise.

;Mega Blastoise
When [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]], Blastoise develops two smaller shells over its arms, each with its own water cannon. Small ridges develop over its now-red eyes and extend to its ears — which angle slightly backward — and there is a small point on its chin. The two cannons on its back merge into a single, central water cannon of greater size that extends forward over Mega Blastoise's head and can retract back into its shell.

This main cannon has power equivalent to that of a tank gun at minimum and possesses a blast range of over 6 miles (10 kilometers). Mega Blastoise's strengthened legs and back enable it to withstand the recoil from its own blasts, but it can also use its arm cannons to further support itself by using moves such as {{m|Ice Beam}} to latch itself to the ground before firing a massive attack, such as during its Burst Attack in [[Pokkén Tournament]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20150329055725/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/ Pokémon X and Y site | Mega Pokémon (archived)]</ref>

[[File:009Blastoise-Gigantamax 2.png|thumb|left|250px|Gigantamax Blastoise shooting streams of water from its cannons]]
;Gigantamax Blastoise
As Gigantamax Blastoise, it becomes larger. Its eyes are white with bright blue sclerae. Its blue arms, head, and legs change to light blue, and the underside of its shell becomes dark red. Its shell becomes darker and transforms into a battleship-like formation, with 31 cannons of different sizes: sets of twin cannons emerge from hexagon and rectangle-shaped holes within the shell, and a main cannon protrudes from the center. Several white triangular spots are located on its tail and legs. Three red clouds surround the main cannon.

Gigantamax Blastoise can adapt to any situation using various cannon combinations. It is not very good at precision shooting, so instead of aiming its attacks, it prefers to overwhelm its opponent by launching dynamic, powerful torrents from its cannons. According to one legend, its main cannon is so staggeringly powerful it can blast holes through the mountains. Gigantamax Blastoise can also individually align the 12 cannons surrounding its main cannon to attack in any direction.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/gigantamax-blastoise/ Gigantamax Blastoise | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>

Gigantamax Blastoise is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Cannonade}}.

===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: Blastoise is the leader of Team Hydro, a [[Rank (Mystery Dungeon)|Bronze Rank]] rescue team. It joins a new team designed to rescue [[Team A.C.T.]] from [[Magma Cavern]] but fails to reach them. Blastoise appears to go exploring a lot as it discovers [[Western Cave]] and [[Meteor Cave]]. It reaches the end of Western Cave with {{p|Charizard}} of Team A.C.T., but both are defeated by {{p|Mewtwo}}. Blastoise is quick to anger, a feature that Charizard exploits to boost morale.

=====Other=====
A Blastoise appeared in ''[[EP060|Beach Blank-Out Blastoise]]'', where it ruled over an island of Squirtle and Wartortle. It had a {{an|Jigglypuff}} stuck in one of its cannons, and Jigglypuff's {{m|Sing|song}} subsequently made everyone fall asleep.

A Blastoise [[nickname]]d Shellshocker appeared in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' and its remake ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]'', under the ownership of [[Neesha]].

Along with [[Ash's Charizard]] and [[Corey]]'s {{p|Venusaur}}, they were the only confiscated Pokémon not to be cloned and they had the same marks that Squirtletwo had, indicating that it was likely obtained by Mewtwo through different means than the ones used to clone.

In ''[[EP085|Fit To Be Tide]]'', [[Cissy]] used her Blastoise to compete against Ash and his {{AP|Lapras}} in a Wave Race for the {{badge|Coral-Eye}}.

===[[Super Smash Bros.]]===

====Trophy information====
''"Blastoise is the next evolutionary step after Wartortle. The thick jets of water they shoot from the cannons on their backs are strong enough to cut through steel plating. When in danger, they hide inside their armored shells. Blastoise is so popular among Trainers that it's considered the definitive {{type|Water}}."''

A trophy of Mega Blastoise also exists in both versions of the game.
====Trophy information====
=====Blastoise=====
'''NA:''' ''On a hot summer day, it's great to cool off by playing in a sprinkler. Don't look to Blastoise as a replacement, though—those water jets on its back are extremely powerful and would send you flying. In fact, Blastoise itself is so huge so it doesn't get blown away when it fires. Speaking of fires, Blastoise is better than a fire truck at putting them out!''

'''PAL:''' ''Tempted to have a Blastoise hose the mud off your bike? Well, don't. The water jets from its rocket cannons might look perfect for that, but they'd just blast your bike into oblivion. In fact, the reason Blastoise grow so big and heavy is so they don't get blown away themselves. If your house is on fire, though, feel free to get a Blastoise to help!''
=====Mega Blastoise=====
'''NA''': ''Some species of Pokémon living in [[Kalos]] have the ability to Mega Evolve, and here's one! Mega Blastoise is a bit bigger than Blastoise, and instead of two cannons on its shell, it has one huge cannon. This may seem like a downgrade, but wait–there are two on its arms! This math is easy: three is better than two.''

'''PAL''': ''Some species of Pokémon living in Kalos have the ability to Mega Evolve, and here's one! Mega Blastoise is a bit bigger than Blastoise, and instead of two cannons on its shell, it has one huge cannon. This may seem like a downgrade, but wait - there are two on its arms, too! Basic arithmetic: three is better than two.''

==Trivia==
* Blastoise shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Kabuto}} and {{p|Kabutops}}. They are all known as the Shellfish Pokémon.
* [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs|Early concept art]] for a Pokémon called "Karabajio" resembles Blastoise without its signature water cannons. The name may be a combination of "''carapace''" and ''{{wp|Caravaggio}}''.
* [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Blastoise is the only Mega-Evolved [[first partner Pokémon]] that does not have two types.
* The way Blastoise flies in [[New Pokémon Snap]] is a potential reference to {{wp|Gamera}}.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9-20DgZlJQ i didn't know Blastoise can do this... OH SH--]</ref>
* Blastoise was originally considered for [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] alongside {{OBP|Charizard|Super Smash Bros.}} and {{OBP|Ivysaur|Super Smash Bros.}}, but director [[Masahiro Sakurai]] decided to go with {{OBP|Squirtle|Super Smash Bros.}} instead for evolutionary stage balance.<ref>[http://sourcegaming.info/2016/04/29/duflupdate/ The Definitive List of Unused Fighters in Smash]</ref>

===Origin===
Blastoise's design appears to be a {{wp|turtle}} mixed with aspects of a {{wp|tank}}. Blastoise's cannons may have been derived from the functioning tubes found in {{wp|mussel}}s and some other {{wp|shellfish}}, thus its {{pkmn|category}}.

Gigantamax Blastoise's shell may be based on a {{wp|battleship}}. It may also be based on {{wp|Leonardo da Vinci}}'s design for an {{wp|Leonardo's fighting vehicle|armored fighting vehicle}}, which itself is inspired by a turtle's shell.

====Name origin====
Blastoise may be a combination of ''blast'' (referring to its cannons) and ''{{wp|tortoise}}''.

Kamex may be a combination of 亀 ''kame'' (tortoise, turtle) and マックス ''makkusu'' (max; maximum).

'''Wartortle''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カメール''' ''Kameil'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Squirtle}} starting at [[level]] 16 and evolves into {{p|Blastoise}} starting at level 36.

==Biology==
[[File:May Wartortle Rapid Spin.png|thumb|left|250px|Wartortle inside its shell while spinning]]
Wartortle is a bipedal, indigo {{wp|reptile|reptilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} similar to a {{wp|turtle}}. It has brown eyes, a dark blue streak on each cheek, and two sharp teeth protruding from its upper jaw. It has three clawed fingers and pointed toes. On each side of its head are feather-like ears covered in pale blue fur. A brown shell with a pale yellow underside encases its body. A thick, white rim separates the upper and lower halves of the shell. An older Wartortle may have scars and algae growing on its shell. Poking out of the bottom of the shell is a thick, wavy tail that also has light blue fur and cannot be fully withdrawn into its shell. Its tail fur will darken with age. Its tail symbolizes longevity and good luck, making this Pokémon popular with the elderly.

Because it is larger than Squirtle and has a larger shell, Wartortle has a more difficult time walking on land and keeping its balance in the water. Wartortle moves its furry ears and tail as both rudders and balancing rods to maintain balance while swimming at high speeds. Air can be stored in its fur for extended underwater diving. It hides in water when hunting and emerges to surprise its prey. It's shown in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP060|Beach Blank-Out Blastoise]]'' that Wartortle can be found living in colonies on islands. Still, its preferred habitat seems to be {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's Edge Pokémon|freshwater ponds and lakes}}. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], is known to sleep with its body tucked into its shell while remaining wary of threats.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> It leaves its long, furry tail poking out a bit to feel out its surroundings in case of danger.

In [[Generation II]], Wartortle and its evolutionary relatives were the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Skull Bash}} naturally, but other Pokémon could still inherit it via {{pkmn|breeding}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:008Wartortle OS anime.png|thumb|150px|Wartortle's [[original series]] art]]
* Even though Wartortle's ears are depicted lighter than its face in the official Sugimori stock art and most of its game sprites, early promotional pictures portrayed its ears the same color as its face.

===Origin===
Wartortle's design appears to be a stylized {{wp|turtle}}. Its feathery tail is a reference to Japanese legends of the ''{{wp|Cultural depictions of turtles#Japan|minogame}}'' (蓑亀), a turtle which lived for 10,000 years and grew a tail made of {{wp|seaweed}}. The use of its tail to store oxygen seems to be a reference to certain turtles that breathe through their {{wp|cloaca}}, placed near the tail. The tail also resembles {{wp|wind wave}}s.

====Name origin====
Wartortle may be a combination of ''war'' or ''warrior'', ''water'', ''{{wp|tortoise}}'', and ''turtle''.

Kameil may be a combination of 亀 ''kame'' (turtle, tortoise) and ''tail''.

'''Squirtle''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゼニガメ''' ''Zenigame'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Wartortle}} starting at [[level]] 16, which evolves into {{p|Blastoise}} starting at [[level]] 36.

Along with {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Charmander}}, Squirtle is one of the three [[Kanto first partner Pokémon|first partner Pokémon of Kanto]] available at the beginning of [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Blue]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]].

==Biology==
[[File:May Squirtle Withdraw.png|thumb|left|200px|Squirtle in its shell]]
Squirtle is a small {{wp|reptile|reptilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a light-blue {{wp|Testudines|turtle}}. While it typically walks on its two short legs, it has been shown to run on all fours in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]. It has large, purplish, or reddish eyes and a slightly hooked upper lip. Each of its hands and feet has three pointed digits. The end of its long, squirrel-like tail curls inward. Its body is encased by a tough shell that forms and hardens after birth. This shell is brown on the top, pale yellow on the bottom, and has a thick white ridge between the two halves.

Squirtle's shell is a useful tool. It can withdraw into the shell for protection or to sleep. The grooved, rounded shape helps to reduce water resistance, allowing the Pokémon to swim at high speeds. Squirtle can spray foamy water from its mouth with great accuracy. Squirtle is scarce in the wild, although it can be found {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's Edge Pokémon|around small ponds and lakes}}. Squirtle can also be found residing around rivers in mountainous regions, as shown in ''[[Pokémon Snap]]'' and ''[[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]''. In the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP060|Beach Blank-Out Blastoise]]'', Squirtle is shown to be found living on secluded islands with other members of their evolutionary line. {{p|Sharpedo}} is a natural predator of Squirtle. As shown in ''[[Pokémon Sleep]]'', Squirtle is known to sleep by withdrawing its limbs and head into its shell.<ref>[[Pokémon Sleep|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> It does this to protect itself from threats while sleeping. It also occasionally rocks contentedly from side to side while sleeping.

In [[Generation II]], Squirtle and its evolved forms were the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Skull Bash}} naturally, but other Pokémon could still inherit it via {{pkmn|breeding}}.

====[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]====
{{sbw|Squirtle}} is seen on the stage [[Poké Floats]] and is the first Poké Float to appear. Play begins on its head and arms until it slowly leaves off the bottom of the screen. After traveling through all the Poké Floats, the screen will be empty for a few seconds before Squirtle pops up and the cycle begins again.

====Trophy information====
''Retreating into its shell and spitting water at its foes is Squirtle's trademark response to danger. It's one of the three Pokémon that Trainers can receive from Professor Oak in Pokémon Red and Blue. Squirtle evolves into Wartortle and then Blastoise, ramping up its water powers with each evolution.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
{{sbw|Squirtle (SSBB)|Squirtle}} is a playable Pokémon used by the {{SSB|Pokémon Trainer}} alongside {{p|Ivysaur}} and {{p|Charizard}}. It can use {{m|Waterfall}} to recover from falls as well as {{m|Withdraw}}, in which case it retreats to its shell and shoots water from the back of it propelling him forwards. It also uses {{m|Water Gun}} to push enemies with a stream of water. Squirtle is a lightweight and uses various attacks using its shell and {{type|Water}} moves to combat its foes. It uses {{m|Hydro Pump}} in the Pokémon Trainer's Final Smash, {{DL|Final Smash|Triple Finish}}.

{{SmashMoves|type=Water|game=Brawl|Spe=Water Gun|SpeM=yes|SpeS=Withdraw|SpeSM=yes|SpeU=Waterfall|SpeUM=yes|SpeD=Pokémon Change|FS=Triple Finish|FS2=Hydro Pump}}

====Trophy information====
''"A Tiny Turtle Pokémon. In times of danger, it pulls its arms and legs inside its shell to protect from enemy attacks. When it conceals its neck, it also shoots a powerful stream of water from its mouth. Its shell not only protects its body, but also reduces water friction when in the water. When leveled up, it evolves into Wartortle."''

===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
Squirtle does not return as a playable character in either version of the game. Instead, it appears as a trophy in both versions.

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''At the start of their Pokémon adventures, many aspiring trainers visit Professor Oak to choose one of three first partner Pokémon. Squirtle's always a popular choice, what with it being so gosh-darn adorable. When it's in danger, though, it withdraws into its shell and spits a high-pressure burst of water—a bit less adorable.''

'''PAL''': ''At the start of their Pokémon adventures, many aspiring trainers visit Professor Oak to choose one of three first partner Pokémon. Squirtle's always a popular choice, what with him being so flipping adorable. When it's in danger, though, it withdraws into its shell and spits a high-pressure burst of water, which isn't quite so adorable.''

==Trivia==
* There was a scene in the 2004 film ''{{wp|Godzilla: Final Wars}}'' where a boy throws an action figure of Squirtle into a fire and insults it. This is also a presumed reference to {{wp|Gamera}}.<ref>[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Film/GodzillaFinalWars Film / Godzilla: Final Wars]</ref>

===Cultural impact===
[[File:Niue Dollar Pokémon.png|thumb|250px|$1 coins from {{wp|Niue}}]]
* {{wp|Niue}} released a one-dollar coin featuring Squirtle as part of a commemorative promotion for the [[Pokémon]] franchise, with Squirtle on one side and the nation's coat of arms on the other.

===Origin===
Squirtle's design is based on both its final evolved form and baby {{wp|turtle}}s,<ref name=Origin>[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> though its anatomy and semi-aquatic lifestyle are much more similar to {{wp|terrapin}}s, with proportions matching those of the {{wp|big-headed turtle}}. Much like Wartortle, its tail is a reference to Japanese legends of the ''{{wp|Cultural depictions of turtles#Japan|minogame}}'' (蓑亀), a turtle which lived for 10,000 years and grew a tail made of {{wp|seaweed}}.

====Name origin====

Squirtle is a combination of ''squirt'' (to spray) and ''turtle''. The name was chosen in apparent reference to {{wp|water gun}}s, which were thought of as "cool" toys for children.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/19990221135156/http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/POKEMON/NEWS/NEWS.HTM GAME FREAK | POCKEMON JOURNAL] (archive)</ref> "Squirt" is also a slang term for a small child.

Zenigame may be a combination of 銭 ''zeni'' (money) and 亀 ''kame'' (turtle), forming the word 銭亀 ''zenigame'' (baby {{wp|Japanese pond turtle}}). According to {{game|Black and White|s}}'s television program ''{{DL|Television|PokéQuiz}}'', "'Zeni' is an old-fashioned word for money. Squirtle's shells look like old coins, so that's how they got their name!"

'''Soundproof''' (Japanese: '''ぼうおん''' ''Soundproof'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation III]].

==Effect==
===In battle===
Soundproof makes the Pokémon immune to [[sound-based move]]s.

====Generations III and IV====
Pokémon with Soundproof are immune to all sound-based moves, including their own. Pokémon with Soundproof, including inactive Pokémon, are not affected by {{m|Heal Bell}}.

In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, a {{status|sleep}}ing Pokémon with this Ability cannot be woken with a [[Poké Flute]].

In Generation III and IV only, Pokémon with this Ability can still fall asleep during an {{m|uproar}}.

====Generation V====
Pokémon with Soundproof can now be affected by Heal Bell.

====Generation VI to VII====
Active Pokémon with Soundproof cannot be affected by Heal Bell. (Inactive Pokémon can be affected by Heal Bell even if they have Soundproof.)

====Generation VIII====
Pokémon with Soundproof are no longer immune to their own sound-based moves.

====Sound-based moves====
The Ability affects the following moves:

Zygarde Cell

2024-12-01T19:15:57Z

Rockapheller: /* In other languages */

{{incomplete|2=Animated series info + other media}}
[[File:718Zygarde-Cell.png|thumb|150px|A Zygarde Cell]]
A '''Zygarde Cell''' (Japanese: '''ジガルデ・セル''' ''Zygarde Cell'') is a cell-like component of the Pokémon, {{p|Zygarde}}, that make up the majority of its body. They have no will and act only at the direction of a [[Zygarde Core|Core]]. Resembling Zygarde Cores, Zygarde Cells are green, flat, worm-like creatures with two disproportionate eyes, the left containing a green pupil. A dark green hexagon appears on their backs.

==In the core series games==
[[File:Key Zygarde Cell Sprite.png|thumb|96px|A Zygarde Cell when first found in {{g|Sun and Moon}}]]
Zygarde Cells that are collected by the {{player}} are stored in a [[Zygarde Cube]]. This items appears in {{g|Sun and Moon}}, its upper versions; {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, and {{g|Sword and Shield}}.

In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, 95 Cells can be found around the [[Alola]] region. In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, the Zygarde Cube that [[Dexio]] gives to the player initially has 40 Cells, and will give the player his own Zygarde (10% Forme) containing another 10% of the Cells given. More Zygarde Cells can be obtained by separating other Zygarde with the [[Reassembly Unit]], coming from both [[transfer|in and outside]] of Alola. In [[Generation VII]] Cells transferred into Alola can be separated into more cells, but they will not count towards the overall count of 100. The Zygarde Cube will keep track of how many Cells are contained within it, with the 5 [[Zygarde Core]]s being counted as Cells.

In Sword and Shield, Zygarde Cells do not appear directly and only appear in the item description for the Zygarde Cube. There is no Reassembly Unit in [[Galar]] and form transformation is done with the Zygarde Cube instead.

In all games, Zygarde Cells, along with Zygarde Cores, appear during the transformation sequence into Zygarde's Complete Forme when {{a|Power Construct}} activates. Similar green hexagonal shapes appear during Zygarde's {{m|Thousand Arrows}} and {{m|Thousand Waves}} attacks

===Locations===
In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, 95 Cells can be found around the [[Alola]] region. A majority of these Cells remain hidden until the {{player}} receives the [[Zygarde Cube]] from [[Dexio]] and [[Sina]] in [[Heahea City]] on [[Akala Island]]. Many of them are also tied to the [[time]] of day the game is currently at. No Cells are found in the overworld in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon and are instead replaced by a similar mechanic of [[Totem Sticker]]s.

The locations of all the Cells in Pokémon Sun and Moon are below.

Zygarde Cell

Rockapheller: /* In other languages */

{{incomplete|2=Animated series info + other media}}
[[File:718Zygarde-Cell.png|thumb|150px|A Zygarde Cell]]
A '''Zygarde Cell''' (Japanese: '''ジガルデ・セル''' ''Zygarde Cell'') is a cell-like component of the Pokémon, {{p|Zygarde}}, that make up the majority of its body. They have no will and act only at the direction of a [[Zygarde Core|Core]]. Resembling Zygarde Cores, Zygarde Cells are green, flat, worm-like creatures with two disproportionate eyes, the left containing a green pupil. A dark green hexagon appears on their backs.

==In the core series games==
[[File:Key Zygarde Cell Sprite.png|thumb|96px|A Zygarde Cell when first found in {{g|Sun and Moon}}]]
Zygarde Cells that are collected by the {{player}} are stored in a [[Zygarde Cube]]. This items appears in {{g|Sun and Moon}}, its upper versions; {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, and {{g|Sword and Shield}}.

In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, 95 Cells can be found around the [[Alola]] region. In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, the Zygarde Cube that [[Dexio]] gives to the player initially has 40 Cells, and will give the player his own Zygarde (10% Forme) containing another 10% of the Cells given. More Zygarde Cells can be obtained by separating other Zygarde with the [[Reassembly Unit]], coming from both [[transfer|in and outside]] of Alola. In [[Generation VII]] Cells transferred into Alola can be separated into more cells, but they will not count towards the overall count of 100. The Zygarde Cube will keep track of how many Cells are contained within it, with the 5 [[Zygarde Core]]s being counted as Cells.

In Sword and Shield, Zygarde Cells do not appear directly and only appear in the item description for the Zygarde Cube. There is no Reassembly Unit in [[Galar]] and form transformation is done with the Zygarde Cube instead.

In all games, Zygarde Cells, along with Zygarde Cores, appear during the transformation sequence into Zygarde's Complete Forme when {{a|Power Construct}} activates. Similar green hexagonal shapes appear during Zygarde's {{m|Thousand Arrows}} and {{m|Thousand Waves}} attacks

===Locations===
In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, 95 Cells can be found around the [[Alola]] region. A majority of these Cells remain hidden until the {{player}} receives the [[Zygarde Cube]] from [[Dexio]] and [[Sina]] in [[Heahea City]] on [[Akala Island]]. Many of them are also tied to the [[time]] of day the game is currently at. No Cells are found in the overworld in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon and are instead replaced by a similar mechanic of [[Totem Sticker]]s.

The locations of all the Cells in Pokémon Sun and Moon are below.

'''Rockapheller''' (also known as ''Brandt'') is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] who travels across all the [[region]]s in the [[Pokémon world]] through [[Pokémon anime]], [[Pokémon games]] and [[Pokémon manga]] in order to [[Pokémon training|train]] [[Pokémon (species)|Pokémon]] and compete at the [[Pokémon League]], or engage with [[Myths and legends involving Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|the legends and myths]], as well as trainers of every [[region]] in order to understand the nature of Pokémon, people, world and the franchise as a whole.

== Pokémon teams ==

=== Brandt ===

: ''For all the teams with used by Brandt and further information, see [[User:Rockapheller/Brandt|Brandt]]''

In March 2018, I have started to record all my Pokémon teams on each of my playthrough. '''Brandt''' is the original persona that I have been using for my initial playthroughs ever since. He typically catches Pokémon that are introduced in the generation of its game. For example, he would use only [[Generation V]] Pokémon in any Generation V game. The exception is when the Pokémon has an [[evolution]] or a new form that are introduced in that generation. The most remarkable example being [[Mega Evolution]]s being introduced in [[Generation VI]].

'''Brandy''' is the female counterpart to Brandt. She typically follows the same rules as Brandt while making up her teams. Additionally, she tends to ignore the Pokémon that Brandt has trained already, and instead chooses different species.

=== City names ===

: ''For all the teams with the city name theme and further information, see [[User:Rockapheller/City names|City names]]''

The [[player character]]s are named after cities, and their regular members on the [[party]] are nicknamed after a specific theme. For instance, the player character in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] is named ''Athens'' due to the theme of the game. The regular members on Athens's teams are nicknamed after Greek gods and goddesses. Unlike the previous playthrough patterns, during the city name runs, the Pokémon teams are not restricted to the corresponding generation of the game. The only rule is to prevent using the same Pokémon that have been used before.

=== Blind playthrough ===

: ''For all the teams with the blind playthrough theme and further information, see [[User:Rockapheller/Blind playthrough|Blind playthrough]]''

'''Blind playthrough''' refers to the gameplays that occur right after the release of the game. The distinct feature of these gameplays is the fact that I am not aware of any newly released Pokémon in these games apart from the ones officially revealed through trailers, including the evolutions of the starters, and I am allowed to play with only newly released species. The first one occurred right after the release of [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], and the trend is intended to continue with the releases of next [[generation]]s.

== Laidback missions ==

'''Laidback missions''' refer to minor missions that I repeat on a daily basis until I reach my goal. These missions often contain finding a rare form of a Pokémon which would take a lot of time when done at once. The ultimate goal is to complete my [[Living Pokédex]] which I had completed once before the release of [[Generation VIII]] games [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].

== [[Living Pokédex]] ==

I have completed a Living Pokédex after the release of [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]] by using [[Pokémon X and Y|Pokémon X]], [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby]], and [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Sun]]. After the release of [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], I have been trying to keep up with it, although some of the newly released Pokémon have yet to be added. At the moment, all the Pokémon are stored in [[Pokémon HOME]]. Initially, none of the Pokémon were meant to have all their various forms, but after the release of [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], I have decided to find the missing forms as much as possible. The search still continues to this day.

==== Gameplay ====

[[File:Green Mega Blastoise Evolutions.png|thumb|280px|A Mega evolved Blastoise]]

* I never leave my [[first partner Pokémon]].
* I catch the "national bird" Pokémon and keep them on my team until the end unless I already had trained one in another version before.
* There are no types that I never trained.{{tt|*|Stats below contain my teams that I started recording since March 2018}}
** My most trained type is {{t|Normal}}, with 24.
** My least trained type is {{t|Steel}}, with 6.
* I only play with the Pokémon that debut in the generation of its game, unless the generation introduces a new evolution or form to the species.
* Until [[Generation VI]] games, I would have my Pokémon either with a beneficial or ineffective nature. This rule is broken from [[Pokémon X and Y|Pokémon X]] and onwards due to arguably easiness of the games.
* I keep the level of my Pokémon on my team as close as possible.
* [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Alpha Sapphire]] has the only team which defeated the league first time with less than 6 Pokémon in the party.
** [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Alpha Sapphire]] is also the only team which contains a [[Mythical Pokémon]] in the regular party.
* I don't necessarily choose the gender of a specific Pokémon.
** [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold of Brandy]], [[Pokémon X and Y|X of Brandt]] and [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Violet of Brandt]] have the teams that coincidentally consist of the same gender Pokémon.
** Out of 22 [[first partner Pokémon]], only 4, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, [[Partner Pokémon|Partner Eevee]] and {{p|Decidueye}}, are female.
** So far, 14 teams of mine are male-oriented, 6 teams are female-oriented, 4 teams are equally distributed.
** Out of 132 Pokémon, 82 are male, 47 are female, 10 are genderless.
*** 7 genderless Pokémon are [[Legendary Pokémon|Legendary]].
*** 1 genderless Pokémon is [[Mythical Pokémon|Mythical]].
*** 1 genderless Pokémon is an [[Ultra Beast]].
* {{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Blastoise}} are the only Pokémon that I trained for more than one [[party]].
** {{p|Typhlosion}}, {{p|Braviary}}, and {{p|Zoroark}} are also trained twice, but with different [[List of Pokémon with form differences|form]]s.
** {{p|Primeape}} is also trained twice, but in second occurrance, it evolved into {{p|Annihilape}}, which was unavailable in the initial presence on the team.
* {{p|Golduck}} in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] is the only [[shiny Pokémon]] to be a regular member of the party.

Legendary Pokémon

2024-11-24T18:00:04Z

Rockapheller: /* Galarian Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres */

:''"Legendary" and "Legend" redirect here. For other uses, see [[Legendary (disambiguation)]].''
----
[[File:2018 Legendary Pokemon Distributions artwork.png|thumb|350px|Artwork depicting a variety of Legendary Pokémon]]

'''Legendary Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|伝説|でんせつ}}のポケモン''' ''Legendary Pokémon'') are a group of incredibly rare and often very powerful {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. They are often featured prominently in the [[Myths and legends involving Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|legends and myths]] of the [[Pokémon world]], with some even going so far as to view them as deities.

As of [[Generation IX]], there are currently {{#expr:{{PAGESINCATEGORY:Legendary Pokémon}} - 16}} Legendary Pokémon. No explicit criteria defines what makes a Pokémon a Legendary Pokémon. Instead, the only way to identify a Pokémon as belonging to this group is through statements from official media, such as the {{pkmn|games}} or {{pkmn|animation}}.

==Terminology==
{{main|Terminology of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon}}

[[Mythical Pokémon]] are a related but separate group of Pokémon, which are usually {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive. In Western language media, Mythical Pokémon were considered to be Legendary Pokémon prior to [[Generation V]]; in Japanese and Korean media, the two groups have always been considered distinct.

[[Special Pokémon]] are a subcategory of Legendary Pokémon that are restricted or banned from certain official tournaments, battle facilities, and link battle formats. Most Special Pokémon are Legendary [[game mascot]]s.

In some uncommon cases, the term "Legendary Pokémon" is used to refer to Mythical Pokémon even after the Generation V games, such as in a painting of {{p|Arceus}} in the [[Lilycove Museum]] from [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], as well as {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Shaymin}}'s trophies in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]].

==Overview==
===In the core series games===
[[File:USUM Ultra Necrozma and Legendary Pokemon.jpg|thumb|250px|Various Legendary Pokémon battling by [[Kazuma Koda]]]]
Legendary Pokémon are usually encountered as [[List of wild Pokémon from in-game events|interactable]] or [[roaming Pokémon]]. Starting in {{v2|Platinum}}, Legendary Pokémon will reappear when the player defeats the {{pkmn|Champion}}, if the Pokémon fainted earlier.

Legendary Pokémon are most commonly [[gender unknown]], although many are not. In the [[core series]] games, no Legendary Pokémon can [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] or hatch from an {{pkmn|Egg}}. Legendary Pokémon usually cannot [[Evolution|evolve]], although {{p|Type: Null}}, {{p|Cosmog}}, {{p|Cosmoem}}, and {{p|Kubfu}} all can. Many Legendary Pokémon can change [[form]]s. Legendary Pokémon are often part of a [[Groups of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|group of Legendary Pokémon]], most commonly a Legendary duo or trio.

Legendary Pokémon typically appear near the end of a [[regional Pokédex]], with [[Mythical Pokémon]] immediately after them.

====Statistical average====
High [[base stats]] are shared by most Legendary Pokémon, and they generally have a base stat total of at least 600. These averages consider alternate [[form]]s as separate Pokémon.
{{BaseStatNoCat
|type=Pokemon
|HP=97.10
|Attack=112.73
|Defense=100.85
|SpAtk=115.76
|SpDef=105.46
|Speed=94.69
|Total=626.59
}}

====Multiple Legendary Pokémon====
{{main|Population of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon}}
Most Legendary Pokémon can be obtained only once per save file; in order to obtain multiple, a player would need to [[trade]] Pokémon between games or [[Event Pokémon|obtain one through an event]]. However, in some cases, there are multiple Legendary Pokémon of the same species either found or mentioned in-game, even though they may not be available to the player.

===In the spin-off games===
====Trading Card Game series====
{{main|Legendary Cards}}
In [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] and [[Pokémon Trading Card Game 2: The Invasion of Team GR!]], there are four [[Legendary Cards]], which are central to the plot: {{TCG ID|Promotional Card|Articuno|P03}}, {{TCG ID|Promotional Card|Zapdos|P10}}, {{TCG ID|Promotional Card|Moltres|P02}}, and {{TCG ID|Pokémon Card GB|Dragonite|promo}}. The latter is not a Legendary Pokémon, but rather a [[Pseudo-legendary Pokémon|pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon.

===In animation===
====''Pokémon the Series''====
In {{aniseries|PTS}}, Legendary Pokémon typically make their debut in a {{pkmn|movie}}, rather than first appearing in an {{pkmn|animated series}} episode. Many are worshiped as {{wp|deity|gods}} by particular groups of people. They are often only seen by special {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, usually [[Ash Ketchum]], and by people who have a special connection to them. Ill-intentioned people often seek to possess them, due to their power and rarity. Some Legendary Pokémon exhibit stubborn behavior and a rudely distrust of humans, like {{p|Raikou}}.

Trainers owning Legendary and Mythical Pokémon, or even battling with non-owned Pokémon, are not unheard of. [[Noland]] has befriended and fought official {{pkmn|battle}}s with an {{TP|Noland|Articuno}}. Likewise, {{an|Brandon}} owned the three {{TP|Brandon|legendary giants}} in [[Poké Balls]] and trained them. {{si|Tobias}} participated in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]] with the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Latios}}. Another Trainer entered the same tournament with a {{p|Heatran}}. A [[Nurse Joy]] who visited the [[Pewter Gym]] under assignment of the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency|PIA]] kept a {{p|Latias}} in a Poké Ball. {{an|Gladion}} stole a {{p|Type: Null}}, which he managed to evolve into a {{TP|Gladion|Silvally}}. [[Goh]] has also succeeded in catching several Legendary Pokémon, including {{TP|Goh|Eternatus}}, a {{TP|Goh|Suicune}}, and a {{p|Regieleki}}. [[Project Mew]] members [[Quillon]] and [[Danika]] both own an {{p|Urshifu}} each, and the former has also caught the three original legendary giants for research purposes. {{Gary}} caught a {{p|Regidrago}} as a part of a Project Mew mission, while [[Horace]] was later revealed to have caught a {{p|Virizion}} during his own mission. The ancient adventurer [[Lucius]] used to travel with a [[Black Rayquaza|Shiny Rayquaza]], {{p|Moltres|Galarian Moltres}}, and an {{p|Entei}}.

There are some cases in which Legendary Pokémon are implied to breed in the wild, as seen with {{p|Lugia}} in {{aniseries|GS}}, and {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}} at the end of ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]''.

==List of Legendary Pokémon==
Of the {{numpkmn}} Pokémon species, 71 are Legendary Pokémon ({{#expr: (71/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}%). Each released [[generation]] has introduced at least three Legendary Pokémon.
{{spoilers}}

===Generation I===
Four Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation I]], with one trio and one standalone Legendary Pokémon.

====Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres====
{{main|Legendary birds}}
The legendary birds—{{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}}—are a trio of Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Kanto]] region. Each of them is based on a mythical bird. Each is also associated with a {{season}} (though none of the three are associated with autumn).

The legendary beasts—{{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}}—are a trio of Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Johto]] region. These legendary Pokémon are based on many different creatures, both real and mythical, as well as mythological deities.

According to legend, three Pokémon were trapped in the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]] when it was struck by lightning and burned to the ground, resulting in their death; the trio was revived by the power of {{p|Ho-Oh}} and now [[roaming Pokémon|roam across the land]] because of their great power. It is unknown whether the three were already a Suicune, Raikou, and Entei when they died, or whether they were simply three non-Legendary Pokémon, and Ho-Oh reincarnated them as the first Legendary beasts. The legendary beasts of the Johto region are not the only individuals of these species, however; for example, a new Entei is said to be born whenever a new volcano is formed.

In [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Scarlet]], a sketch resembling the members of the Legendary Beasts can be found in the [[Scarlet Book]], dubbed "An Imagined Pokémon". Later, in the game's [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]] DLC, [[Paradox Pokémon|Paradox counterparts]] of Suicune, Entei and Raikou are discovered in the form of {{p|Walking Wake}}, {{p|Gouging Fire}} and {{p|Raging Bolt}}, that were all brought to [[Area Zero]] at some point by [[Professor Sada]] through her [[time machine]].

In {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, Lugia is turned into a [[Shadow Lugia]] by the criminal syndicate [[Cipher]].

{{an|Ho-Oh}} is notably the first Legendary Pokémon that appeared in the {{pkmn|animated series}} (outside of the [[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master|opening animation]], at least), flying over a rainbow as [[Ash Ketchum]] started his journey, at the end of ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''. Ash has subsequently seen it several times over the course of his journey, but has never come face-to-face with it. Ho-Oh also featured in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'' in a prominent role.

===Generation III===
Eight new Legendary Pokémon were added to the roster in [[Generation III]], bringing the total to 17. At this point in the series, Legendary Pokémon began to have a greater role in the storyline of the core series games, with the [[villainous team]]s plotting to reawaken the ancient Legendary Pokémon for their own use.

This Legendary trio, as well as its leader, {{p|Regigigas}}, often require solving puzzles to find them in the games; in the Hoenn games, they can only be encountered after solving [[braille]] puzzles.

The legend of the giants is told in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. Long ago, an ancient Pokémon, {{p|Regigigas}}, was said to have moved the continents into their present positions by pulling them with ropes. After it was finished, it created three Pokémon in its image: {{p|Regirock}}, from clay; {{p|Regice}}, from ice; and {{p|Registeel}}, from magma. Ancient people, seeing that the Pokémon was so powerful, sealed it away in the [[Snowpoint Temple]], while those it had created were separated from it and taken to the Hoenn region, sealed in three chambers, and left in the hopes that one day, someone would unlock the chambers and be able to tame the three so as to tame Regigigas.

In [[The Crown Tundra]] DLC for {{g|Sword and Shield}} the trio becomes a quintet with two more introduced members: {{p|Regieleki}} and {{p|Regidrago}}.

In Emerald, after the player has defeated [[Wallace]], their mother will ask if the Pokémon mentioned on TV was red or blue, and depending on that, one of the two will be roaming Hoenn. The other member of the duo will be found on [[Southern Island]], accessible by [[Eon Ticket]], in Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald; and in [[Pewter City]], through the [[Enigma Stone]] event, in HeartGold and SoulSilver.

Rayquaza can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] without the need of a [[Mega Stone]]. only need to know the [[move]] {{m|Dragon Ascent}}.

According to legend, thousands of years ago, during the primal age, the world was overflowing with natural energy. Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre fought over that energy in endless furious clashes. In the face of Primal Groudon and Kyogre's great power, people could do nothing. However, Rayquaza intervened, and its power overwhelmed that of the two Primal Pokémon, and peace returned to the world. A thousand years later, a meteoroid hit the earth, causing cracks in the ground that unleashed natural energy, causing Groudon and Kyogre to re-battle each other. Humans had a collective memory of how Rayquaza saved their race long ago, and that wish combined with the power of the Meteorite allowed Rayquaza to Mega Evolve for the first time and calm the two from quarreling.

Alola's [[island kahuna]]s are each chosen by their island's guardian deity. [[Grand trial]]s are often done in favor and praise of the Tapu. The Tapu are known to be very kind in certain situations, lending gifts, but they can also be very cruel, destroying certain locations or harming others when feeling angered.

According ''The Light of Alola'', a book found in the [[Malie City|Malie Library]], the tapu fought off against a beast from another [[dimension]] and lost. They were rewarded with the [[Tapunium Z]], their signature [[Z-Crystal]]. The beast then created multiple {{p|Cosmog}} for the tapu to take care of and protect as they grow up before returning to [[Ultra Space]].

====Cosmog and Cosmoem====
{{main|Light trio}}
{{p|Cosmog}} and its evolved form {{p|Cosmoem}} are {{type|Psychic}} Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in [[Alola]]. They are the pre-Evolutions of {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}}.

Ultra Wormholes can be created using gasses extracted by Cosmog,<ref>[[Lusamine]], {{g|Sun and Moon}}:''"I was able to open the Ultra Wormhole using just the gases we'd extracted from Cosmog when it was in Aether Paradise, wasn't I?"''</ref> but more can be created in heavier doses using the Pokémon as a whole. Cosmog evolves into Cosmoem under extreme stress, causing the Pokémon to condense into a smaller immobile form resembling a cocoon. With the help of the [[Sun Flute|Sun]] and [[Moon Flute]]s being played during certain times of the day, Cosmoem can evolve into either Solgaleo or Lunala when brought to the [[Altar of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|SUS}} or the [[Altar of the Moone]]{{sup/7|MUM}}.

====Solgaleo, Lunala, and Necrozma====
{{p|Solgaleo}}, {{p|Lunala}}, and {{p|Necrozma}} are a trio of Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Alola]] region. Solgaleo and Lunala are the [[game mascot]]s of {{g|Sun and Moon}}, while Dusk Mane Necrozma and Dawn Wings Necrozma are the mascots of {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}. They are said to have come from [[Ultra Space]].

Solgaleo and Lunala have {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences#Solgaleo|form like-transformations}} known as Radiant Sun phase and Full Moon phase respectively when using their powers. Necrozma has three additional forms (all introduced in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}): Dusk Mane Necrozma, Dawn Wings Necrozma, and Ultra Necrozma. It transforms into Dusk Mane Necrozma or Dawn Wings Necrozma when it has absorbed Solgaleo or Lunala, respectively. Either of these two forms can transform into Ultra Necrozma after absorbing enough light to restore its true form.

All three have their own unique Z-Crystals: [[Solganium Z]], [[Lunalium Z]] and [[Ultranecrozium Z]]. Necrozma, while transformed into either Dusk Mane or Dawn Wings, can make use of the other two's Z-Crystals. [[Z-Power]] comes from light produced by Necrozma,<ref>[[Dulse]], {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun}}: ''"These...auras...must have been particularly strong at the trial locations. And the Z-Power for the Z-Moves... It is also similar to the auras of the Totem Pokémon. Both came to Alola as Necrozma's light!"''</ref> while [[Z-Crystal]]s and [[Sparkling Stone]]s (and [[Z-Ring]]/[[Z-Power Ring]]s by extension) are pieces of Necrozma that channel Z-Power in order to produce [[Z-Move]]s.

According to ''The Light of Alola'', a book in the [[Malie City|Malie Library]], they gave light to the Alola region when it was first created. According to legends, when Solgaleo and Lunala appeared from an [[Ultra Wormhole]], the ancient kings of Alola bowed down to them and worshiped them. The guardian deities battled them and lost, with the duo gifting the tapu the [[Tapunium Z]] after their defeat. In legends in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Necrozma is referred to as "The Blinding One", as it once shared light across [[Alola]] and Ultra Space, before an unknown injury caused Necrozma to lose its true form. This resulted in Necrozma becoming extremely vicious and constantly in pain, which made it steal light from other worlds, and even from Solgaleo and Lunala, in order to sustain itself and regain the form it once had.

Every few decades, they migrate to the Dyna Tree at [[Dyna Tree Hill]] in the [[Crown Tundra]]. The trio battles one another each time they meet, although their rivalry does not seem as intense as that of their Kantonian counterparts. For some time, the Galarian legendary birds were believed to be the same as the Kantonian [[legendary birds]] due to their similar characteristics to {{t|Ice}}, {{t|Electric}}, and {{t|Fire}}, respectively.

====Calyrex, Glastrier, and Spectrier====
{{p|Calyrex}}, {{p|Glastrier}}, and {{p|Spectrier}} are three Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Crown Tundra]] of the [[Galar]] region. They were introduced in [[The Crown Tundra]] DLC for {{g|Sword and Shield}}.

Calyrex can take on one of two alternate forms by combining with Glastrier or Spectrier using the [[Reins of Unity]]. When riding Glastrier, it becomes Ice Rider Calyrex; when riding Spectrier, it becomes Shadow Rider Calyrex.

According to legend, {{p|Glastrier}} or {{p|Spectrier}} had been terrorizing [[Freezington]], ruling the area as the "lord of the tundra". One day, Calyrex was nursed back to health by Freezington's citizens. To repay the citizens, Calyrex defeated Glastrier/Spectrier and gained its loyalty, making the Pokémon its loyal steed. Afterwards, Calyrex ruled over the [[Crown Tundra]]—known as the King of Bountiful Harvests, it helped spread vegetation and supported the harvest every year with its loyal steed. It was renowned for its graceful and regal movements.

====Enamorus====
{{p|Enamorus}} is Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Hisui]] region. It was introduced in {{g|Legends: Arceus}} as the fourth member of the [[forces of nature]].

In [[Hisui]], it and {{p|Landorus}} were worshipped as the gods of field and spring who brought life to the region and signaled the end of winter, hence its title as the "Herald of Spring". According to legend, while it is known to be kind with its love, it will not hesitate to punish those who disrespect life.

===Generation IX ===
In [[Generation IX]], 11 Legendary Pokémon were introduced, bringing the total to 71. Of these, six were introduced in the base game of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, four in [[The Teal Mask]], and one in [[The Indigo Disk]].

====Wo-Chien, Chien-Pao, Ting-Lu, and Chi-Yu====
{{main|Treasures of ruin}}
The treasures of ruin—{{p|Wo-Chien}}, {{p|Chien-Pao}}, {{p|Ting-Lu}}, and {{p|Chi-Yu}}—are a quartet of Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Paldea]] region. They have been referred to as cursed treasures and Pokémon of Ruin. All of them are {{type|Dark}}.

According to legend, these four Legendary Pokémon were once four ancient treasures, but were corrupted by negative human emotions. They came into the possession of an ancient king of Paldea. Eventually, the king's greed awakened them and unleashed disasters, resulting in these berserk Pokémon destroying the kingdom. All four were later sealed away in shrines by ancient Pokémon wielders after a fierce battle.

====Koraidon and Miraidon====
{{main|Paradox duo}}
{{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}} are a duo of Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Paldea]] region. They are the [[game mascot]]s of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. They are [[Paradox Pokémon]], being past and future relatives of {{p|Cyclizar}}, respectively. Both are far more aggressive and powerful than their contemporary counterpart.

They can change into various forms to better facilitate travelling: Sprinting Build, Swimming Build, and Gliding Build for Koraidon; and Drive Mode, Aquatic Mode, and Glide Mode for Miraidon. While low in power, Koraidon and Miraidon assume the Limited Build and Low-Power Mode, respectively, while at their full strength, they battle in Apex Build and Ultimate Mode, respectively.

====Okidogi, Munkidori, and Fezandipiti====
{{main|Loyal Three}}
The Loyal Three—{{p|Okidogi}}, {{p|Munkidori}}, and {{p|Fezandipiti}}—are a trio of Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in [[Kitakami]]. They were first introduced in [[The Teal Mask]] DLC for {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.

In [[Kitakami]], they were believed to have protected Kitakami from {{p|Ogerpon}}, whose appearance frightened the villagers, causing them to be worshiped as heroes. In truth, the Loyal Three traveled to Kitakami after hearing of Ogerpon and its partner's masks, snuck into the cave Ogerpon settled in, and stole the [[Wellspring Mask|Wellspring]], [[Hearthflame Mask|Hearthflame]], and [[Cornerstone Mask]]s, leaving only the [[Teal Mask]] behind. Upon returning to its cave, an enraged Ogerpon donned the mask and went out to the village, cudgel in hand, to search for its friend. Upon meeting the Loyal Three, gloating over their stolen masks, Ogerpon attacked and defeated them, before leaving. The villagers, misunderstanding the situation, believed that the Loyal Three were protecting the village, creating a shrine and festival to celebrate their perceived heroism.

====Ogerpon====
{{p|Ogerpon}} is a Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in [[Kitakami]]. It was introduced in [[The Teal Mask]] DLC for {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.

It has four forms: [[Teal Mask]], [[Wellspring Mask]], [[Hearthflame Mask]], and [[Cornerstone Mask]]—each form possessing a unique {{Tera}}stallized state.

According to legend in The Teal Mask, it is said to have terrorized the land of Kitakami before being stopped by the [[Loyal Three]]: {{p|Okidogi}}, {{p|Munkidori}} and {{p|Fezandipiti}}. However, in reality, it defeated the trio for stealing three of its masks and hurting its human companion, but the villagers watching it assumed it had come to attack the village, seeing it as a terrible ogre. Only the mask maker who made Ogerpon's masks knew the true story, with this story being passed down to his descendants.

====Terapagos====
{{p|Terapagos}} is a Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in [[Paldea]]. It was introduced in [[The Indigo Disk]] DLC for {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.

Terapagos has three {{fd|Terapagos|forms}}: Normal Form, Terastal Form, and Stellar Form.

It is the origin of the [[Terastal phenomenon]] and was seen as only fiction by many in the Scarlet Book{{sup/9|S}}/Violet Book{{sup/9|V}}, the only ones knowing about its existence being [[Heath]] and [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}}. Around two million years ago, Terapagos lived on the surface of [[Paldea]] during ancient times, until seismic shifts caused it to fall underground. There, it remained asleep for many years as the [[Great Crater of Paldea]] formed, along with [[Area Zero]] and the [[Area Zero Underdepths]].

==Trivia==
*{{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}} are the only Legendary Pokémon to have their [[base stats]] reduced between generations.
*There have been Legendary Pokémon of every type except {{t|Bug}} type (excluding Silvally holding a [[Bug Memory]]).
*Every Special and Mythical Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Alola Pokédex]] is marked by a special golden background in its [[Pokédex]] page instead of a regular blue one; other Legendary Pokémon and Ultra Beasts are marked by a special green one.
*{{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Kubfu}}, {{p|Urshifu}}, and {{p|Terapagos}} are the only Legendary Pokémon that can be either gender.
** Heatran and Terapagos have an equal chance of being either gender, while Kubfu and Urshifu both have a 7:1 chance of being male.
***While Terapagos is coded to have an equal chance of being either gender, the Terapagos caught in [[The Indigo Disk]] will always be male.
*In an interview promoting the launch of {{game|Black and White|s}}, [[Junichi Masuda]] stated that Legendary Pokémon are the most difficult to design names for because Game Freak strives to make sure that the names of Legendary Pokémon are universal across the different translations, so extra work must be put into their names to make sure that they work universally in all languages.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20101228065540/http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/sp/index5.html 女子大生が訊く『ポケットモンスターブラック・ホワイト』] (archive)</ref> This is consistent with the relatively small number of Legendary Pokémon that have had their names changed significantly outside of Japan (currently 21: the [[legendary birds]], the [[lake guardians]], the [[forces of nature]], {{p|Type: Null}}, {{p|Silvally}}, the [[guardian deities]], {{p|Eternatus}}, {{p|Kubfu}}, {{p|Urshifu}}, {{p|Glastrier}}, {{p|Spectrier}}, {{p|Calyrex}}, and—in [[Pokémon in Greater China|Chinese]] only—the [[Mew duo]]).
* Each member of the [[Legendary beasts]] and the [[Tao trio]] has its own remix of each trio's designated battle theme:
**In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Suicune's theme uses bells, Entei's theme uses an electric guitar, and Raikou's theme is synthesized.
**Reshiram's theme employs a burning fire effect, Zekrom's theme employs a crackling thunder effect, and normal Kyurem's theme features an extra slapped bass part playing in the background.
*The [[Generation I]] games and their later remakes are the only [[core series]] games where:
**The main plot does not involve any Legendary Pokémon.
*Prior to [[Generation VI]], the core series games which serve as region debuts did not have any Legendary Pokémon from previous generations available without trades, transfers, or events.
**From [[Generation III]] onwards, all upper versions, sequels, and remakes in the core series have Legendary Pokémon from multiple generations available without trades, transfers, or events.
*The legendary birds are the Legendary Pokémon that have been available in the wild in the greatest number of core series games, each being able to be caught in twenty core series games ([[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]], {{v2|Yellow}}, [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, LeafGreen]], {{v2|Platinum}}, [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold, SoulSilver]], [[Pokémon X and Y|X, Y]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, Ultra Moon]], {{LGPE|Let's Go, Pikachu!, Let's Go, Eevee!}}, [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Sword, Shield]], [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Shining Pearl,]] [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Scarlet, and Violet]]).
*Every Legendary Pokémon has slow [[List of Pokémon by experience type|leveling rate]].
*In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], the [[Adventure Log]] lists recruiting Unown as an accomplishment. The Adventure Log otherwise only lists Mythical and Legendary Pokémon recruits, with the exception of {{p|Rotom}}.
*Rotom happens to be the only non-Legendary Pokémon to have the battle music of a Legendary Pokémon during at least one of its encounters, this encounter being in the [[Old Chateau]] in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl}}, {{v2|Platinum}}, {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl}}.
** In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky, Rotom has only one exclusive item that is found behind a locked door in a specific dungeon. It and {{p|Spiritomb}} are the only Pokémon that are neither Legendary nor Mythical that do this.
*So far, there is at least one Legendary Pokémon directly or indirectly related to each "battle gimmick" introduced in their respective regions:
**The [[Aura trio]] (specifically Xerneas and Yveltal) are theorized to be indirectly responsible for creating [[Mega Evolution]] in the [[Kalos]] region, while {{p|Rayquaza}} is believed to be responsible for Mega Evolution occurring in the [[Hoenn]] region.
** The [[Light trio]] and [[Guardian deities]] are directly related to [[Z-Move]]s.
**Eternatus is directly responsible for [[Dynamax]] and [[Gigantamax]].
**Terapagos is directly responsible for the [[Terastal phenomenon]].

Legendary Pokémon

2024-11-24T17:57:52Z

[[File:2018 Legendary Pokemon Distributions artwork.png|thumb|350px|Artwork depicting a variety of Legendary Pokémon]]

'''Legendary Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|伝説|でんせつ}}のポケモン''' ''Legendary Pokémon'') are a group of incredibly rare and often very powerful {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. They are often featured prominently in the [[Myths and legends involving Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|legends and myths]] of the [[Pokémon world]], with some even going so far as to view them as deities.

As of [[Generation IX]], there are currently {{#expr:{{PAGESINCATEGORY:Legendary Pokémon}} - 16}} Legendary Pokémon. No explicit criteria defines what makes a Pokémon a Legendary Pokémon. Instead, the only way to identify a Pokémon as belonging to this group is through statements from official media, such as the {{pkmn|games}} or {{pkmn|animation}}.

==Terminology==
{{main|Terminology of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon}}

[[Mythical Pokémon]] are a related but separate group of Pokémon, which are usually {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive. In Western language media, Mythical Pokémon were considered to be Legendary Pokémon prior to [[Generation V]]; in Japanese and Korean media, the two groups have always been considered distinct.

[[Special Pokémon]] are a subcategory of Legendary Pokémon that are restricted or banned from certain official tournaments, battle facilities, and link battle formats. Most Special Pokémon are Legendary [[game mascot]]s.

In some uncommon cases, the term "Legendary Pokémon" is used to refer to Mythical Pokémon even after the Generation V games, such as in a painting of {{p|Arceus}} in the [[Lilycove Museum]] from [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], as well as {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Shaymin}}'s trophies in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]].

==Overview==
===In the core series games===
[[File:USUM Ultra Necrozma and Legendary Pokemon.jpg|thumb|250px|Various Legendary Pokémon battling by [[Kazuma Koda]]]]
Legendary Pokémon are usually encountered as [[List of wild Pokémon from in-game events|interactable]] or [[roaming Pokémon]]. Starting in {{v2|Platinum}}, Legendary Pokémon will reappear when the player defeats the {{pkmn|Champion}}, if the Pokémon fainted earlier.

Legendary Pokémon are most commonly [[gender unknown]], although many are not. In the [[core series]] games, no Legendary Pokémon can [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] or hatch from an {{pkmn|Egg}}. Legendary Pokémon usually cannot [[Evolution|evolve]], although {{p|Type: Null}}, {{p|Cosmog}}, {{p|Cosmoem}}, and {{p|Kubfu}} all can. Many Legendary Pokémon can change [[form]]s. Legendary Pokémon are often part of a [[Groups of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|group of Legendary Pokémon]], most commonly a Legendary duo or trio.

Legendary Pokémon typically appear near the end of a [[regional Pokédex]], with [[Mythical Pokémon]] immediately after them.

====Statistical average====
High [[base stats]] are shared by most Legendary Pokémon, and they generally have a base stat total of at least 600. These averages consider alternate [[form]]s as separate Pokémon.
{{BaseStatNoCat
|type=Pokemon
|HP=97.10
|Attack=112.73
|Defense=100.85
|SpAtk=115.76
|SpDef=105.46
|Speed=94.69
|Total=626.59
}}

====Multiple Legendary Pokémon====
{{main|Population of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon}}
Most Legendary Pokémon can be obtained only once per save file; in order to obtain multiple, a player would need to [[trade]] Pokémon between games or [[Event Pokémon|obtain one through an event]]. However, in some cases, there are multiple Legendary Pokémon of the same species either found or mentioned in-game, even though they may not be available to the player.

===In the spin-off games===
====Trading Card Game series====
{{main|Legendary Cards}}
In [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] and [[Pokémon Trading Card Game 2: The Invasion of Team GR!]], there are four [[Legendary Cards]], which are central to the plot: {{TCG ID|Promotional Card|Articuno|P03}}, {{TCG ID|Promotional Card|Zapdos|P10}}, {{TCG ID|Promotional Card|Moltres|P02}}, and {{TCG ID|Pokémon Card GB|Dragonite|promo}}. The latter is not a Legendary Pokémon, but rather a [[Pseudo-legendary Pokémon|pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon.

===In animation===
====''Pokémon the Series''====
In {{aniseries|PTS}}, Legendary Pokémon typically make their debut in a {{pkmn|movie}}, rather than first appearing in an {{pkmn|animated series}} episode. Many are worshiped as {{wp|deity|gods}} by particular groups of people. They are often only seen by special {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, usually [[Ash Ketchum]], and by people who have a special connection to them. Ill-intentioned people often seek to possess them, due to their power and rarity. Some Legendary Pokémon exhibit stubborn behavior and a rudely distrust of humans, like {{p|Raikou}}.

Trainers owning Legendary and Mythical Pokémon, or even battling with non-owned Pokémon, are not unheard of. [[Noland]] has befriended and fought official {{pkmn|battle}}s with an {{TP|Noland|Articuno}}. Likewise, {{an|Brandon}} owned the three {{TP|Brandon|legendary giants}} in [[Poké Balls]] and trained them. {{si|Tobias}} participated in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]] with the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Latios}}. Another Trainer entered the same tournament with a {{p|Heatran}}. A [[Nurse Joy]] who visited the [[Pewter Gym]] under assignment of the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency|PIA]] kept a {{p|Latias}} in a Poké Ball. {{an|Gladion}} stole a {{p|Type: Null}}, which he managed to evolve into a {{TP|Gladion|Silvally}}. [[Goh]] has also succeeded in catching several Legendary Pokémon, including {{TP|Goh|Eternatus}}, a {{TP|Goh|Suicune}}, and a {{p|Regieleki}}. [[Project Mew]] members [[Quillon]] and [[Danika]] both own an {{p|Urshifu}} each, and the former has also caught the three original legendary giants for research purposes. {{Gary}} caught a {{p|Regidrago}} as a part of a Project Mew mission, while [[Horace]] was later revealed to have caught a {{p|Virizion}} during his own mission. The ancient adventurer [[Lucius]] used to travel with a [[Black Rayquaza|Shiny Rayquaza]], {{p|Moltres|Galarian Moltres}}, and an {{p|Entei}}.

There are some cases in which Legendary Pokémon are implied to breed in the wild, as seen with {{p|Lugia}} in {{aniseries|GS}}, and {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}} at the end of ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]''.

==List of Legendary Pokémon==
Of the {{numpkmn}} Pokémon species, 71 are Legendary Pokémon ({{#expr: (71/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}%). Each released [[generation]] has introduced at least three Legendary Pokémon.
{{spoilers}}

===Generation I===
Four Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation I]], with one trio and one standalone Legendary Pokémon.

====Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres====
{{main|Legendary birds}}
The legendary birds—{{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}}—are a trio of Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Kanto]] region. Each of them is based on a mythical bird. Each is also associated with a {{season}} (though none of the three are associated with autumn).

In [[The Crown Tundra]] DLC for {{g|Sword and Shield}}, each bird gains a [[Galarian form]].

====Mewtwo====
{{p|Mewtwo}} is a Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Kanto]] region.

Mewtwo is the enhanced clone of the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Mew}}. Mewtwo was too powerful for its creators and escaped from the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}}, wrecking it in the process. Mewtwo then made its home in [[Cerulean Cave]], where all kinds of powerful Pokémon live.

In {{g|X and Y}}, Mewtwo gained the ability to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] through the use of its [[Mega Stone]]s, [[Mewtwonite X]] and [[Mewtwonite Y]].

In [[Pokken Tournament]], Mewtwo is turned into [[Shadow Mewtwo]] by a Shadow synergy stone, which possessed it. It can also Mega Evolve into Mega Shadow Mewtwo X.

{{-}}
===Generation II===
Five more Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation II]], for a running total of 9. The Legendary Pokémon introduced in this generation down can be separated into a trio and a duo.

====Raikou, Entei, and Suicune====
{{main|Legendary beasts}}
The legendary beasts—{{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}}—are a trio of Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Johto]] region. These legendary Pokémon are based on many different creatures, both real and mythical, as well as mythological deities.

According to legend, three Pokémon were trapped in the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]] when it was struck by lightning and burned to the ground, resulting in their death; the trio was revived by the power of {{p|Ho-Oh}} and now [[roaming Pokémon|roam across the land]] because of their great power. It is unknown whether the three were already a Suicune, Raikou, and Entei when they died, or whether they were simply three non-Legendary Pokémon, and Ho-Oh reincarnated them as the first Legendary beasts. The legendary beasts of the Johto region are not the only individuals of these species, however; for example, a new Entei is said to be born whenever a new volcano is formed.

In [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Scarlet]], a sketch resembling the members of the Legendary Beasts can be found in the [[Scarlet Book]], dubbed "An Imagined Pokémon". Later, in the game's [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]] DLC, [[Paradox Pokémon|Paradox counterparts]] of Suicune, Entei and Raikou are discovered in the form of {{p|Walking Wake}}, {{p|Gouging Fire}} and {{p|Raging Bolt}}, that were all brought to [[Area Zero]] at some point by [[Professor Sada]] through her [[time machine]].

===Generation III===
Eight new Legendary Pokémon were added to the roster in [[Generation III]], bringing the total to 17. At this point in the series, Legendary Pokémon began to have a greater role in the storyline of the core series games, with the [[villainous team]]s plotting to reawaken the ancient Legendary Pokémon for their own use.

This Legendary trio, as well as its leader, {{p|Regigigas}}, often require solving puzzles to find them in the games; in the Hoenn games, they can only be encountered after solving [[braille]] puzzles.

The legend of the giants is told in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. Long ago, an ancient Pokémon, {{p|Regigigas}}, was said to have moved the continents into their present positions by pulling them with ropes. After it was finished, it created three Pokémon in its image: {{p|Regirock}}, from clay; {{p|Regice}}, from ice; and {{p|Registeel}}, from magma. Ancient people, seeing that the Pokémon was so powerful, sealed it away in the [[Snowpoint Temple]], while those it had created were separated from it and taken to the Hoenn region, sealed in three chambers, and left in the hopes that one day, someone would unlock the chambers and be able to tame the three so as to tame Regigigas.

In [[The Crown Tundra]] DLC for {{g|Sword and Shield}} the trio becomes a quintet with two more introduced members: {{p|Regieleki}} and {{p|Regidrago}}.

In Emerald, after the player has defeated [[Wallace]], their mother will ask if the Pokémon mentioned on TV was red or blue, and depending on that, one of the two will be roaming Hoenn. The other member of the duo will be found on [[Southern Island]], accessible by [[Eon Ticket]], in Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald; and in [[Pewter City]], through the [[Enigma Stone]] event, in HeartGold and SoulSilver.

Rayquaza can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] without the need of a [[Mega Stone]]. only need to know the [[move]] {{m|Dragon Ascent}}.

According to legend, thousands of years ago, during the primal age, the world was overflowing with natural energy. Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre fought over that energy in endless furious clashes. In the face of Primal Groudon and Kyogre's great power, people could do nothing. However, Rayquaza intervened, and its power overwhelmed that of the two Primal Pokémon, and peace returned to the world. A thousand years later, a meteoroid hit the earth, causing cracks in the ground that unleashed natural energy, causing Groudon and Kyogre to re-battle each other. Humans had a collective memory of how Rayquaza saved their race long ago, and that wish combined with the power of the Meteorite allowed Rayquaza to Mega Evolve for the first time and calm the two from quarreling.

Alola's [[island kahuna]]s are each chosen by their island's guardian deity. [[Grand trial]]s are often done in favor and praise of the Tapu. The Tapu are known to be very kind in certain situations, lending gifts, but they can also be very cruel, destroying certain locations or harming others when feeling angered.

According ''The Light of Alola'', a book found in the [[Malie City|Malie Library]], the tapu fought off against a beast from another [[dimension]] and lost. They were rewarded with the [[Tapunium Z]], their signature [[Z-Crystal]]. The beast then created multiple {{p|Cosmog}} for the tapu to take care of and protect as they grow up before returning to [[Ultra Space]].

====Cosmog and Cosmoem====
{{main|Light trio}}
{{p|Cosmog}} and its evolved form {{p|Cosmoem}} are {{type|Psychic}} Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in [[Alola]]. They are the pre-Evolutions of {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}}.

Ultra Wormholes can be created using gasses extracted by Cosmog,<ref>[[Lusamine]], {{g|Sun and Moon}}:''"I was able to open the Ultra Wormhole using just the gases we'd extracted from Cosmog when it was in Aether Paradise, wasn't I?"''</ref> but more can be created in heavier doses using the Pokémon as a whole. Cosmog evolves into Cosmoem under extreme stress, causing the Pokémon to condense into a smaller immobile form resembling a cocoon. With the help of the [[Sun Flute|Sun]] and [[Moon Flute]]s being played during certain times of the day, Cosmoem can evolve into either Solgaleo or Lunala when brought to the [[Altar of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|SUS}} or the [[Altar of the Moone]]{{sup/7|MUM}}.

====Solgaleo, Lunala, and Necrozma====
{{p|Solgaleo}}, {{p|Lunala}}, and {{p|Necrozma}} are a trio of Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Alola]] region. Solgaleo and Lunala are the [[game mascot]]s of {{g|Sun and Moon}}, while Dusk Mane Necrozma and Dawn Wings Necrozma are the mascots of {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}. They are said to have come from [[Ultra Space]].

Solgaleo and Lunala have {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences#Solgaleo|form like-transformations}} known as Radiant Sun phase and Full Moon phase respectively when using their powers. Necrozma has three additional forms (all introduced in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}): Dusk Mane Necrozma, Dawn Wings Necrozma, and Ultra Necrozma. It transforms into Dusk Mane Necrozma or Dawn Wings Necrozma when it has absorbed Solgaleo or Lunala, respectively. Either of these two forms can transform into Ultra Necrozma after absorbing enough light to restore its true form.

All three have their own unique Z-Crystals: [[Solganium Z]], [[Lunalium Z]] and [[Ultranecrozium Z]]. Necrozma, while transformed into either Dusk Mane or Dawn Wings, can make use of the other two's Z-Crystals. [[Z-Power]] comes from light produced by Necrozma,<ref>[[Dulse]], {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun}}: ''"These...auras...must have been particularly strong at the trial locations. And the Z-Power for the Z-Moves... It is also similar to the auras of the Totem Pokémon. Both came to Alola as Necrozma's light!"''</ref> while [[Z-Crystal]]s and [[Sparkling Stone]]s (and [[Z-Ring]]/[[Z-Power Ring]]s by extension) are pieces of Necrozma that channel Z-Power in order to produce [[Z-Move]]s.

According to ''The Light of Alola'', a book in the [[Malie City|Malie Library]], they gave light to the Alola region when it was first created. According to legends, when Solgaleo and Lunala appeared from an [[Ultra Wormhole]], the ancient kings of Alola bowed down to them and worshiped them. The guardian deities battled them and lost, with the duo gifting the tapu the [[Tapunium Z]] after their defeat. In legends in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Necrozma is referred to as "The Blinding One", as it once shared light across [[Alola]] and Ultra Space, before an unknown injury caused Necrozma to lose its true form. This resulted in Necrozma becoming extremely vicious and constantly in pain, which made it steal light from other worlds, and even from Solgaleo and Lunala, in order to sustain itself and regain the form it once had.

The trio fight each other over it every time they meet, although they do not appear to have as strong a rivalry as their Kantonian counterparts. For a time, the Galarian legendary birds were believed be the same as the Kantonian [[legendary birds]] due to them possessing similar characteristics to {{t|Ice}}, {{t|Electric}}, and {{t|Fire}}, respectively.

Calyrex can take on one of two alternate forms by combining with Glastrier or Spectrier using the [[Reins of Unity]]. When riding Glastrier, it becomes Ice Rider Calyrex; when riding Spectrier, it becomes Shadow Rider Calyrex.

According to legend, {{p|Glastrier}} or {{p|Spectrier}} had been terrorizing [[Freezington]], ruling the area as the "lord of the tundra". One day, Calyrex was nursed back to health by Freezington's citizens. To repay the citizens, Calyrex defeated Glastrier/Spectrier and gained its loyalty, making the Pokémon its loyal steed. Afterwards, Calyrex ruled over the [[Crown Tundra]]—known as the King of Bountiful Harvests, it helped spread vegetation and supported the harvest every year with its loyal steed. It was renowned for its graceful and regal movements.

====Enamorus====
{{p|Enamorus}} is Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Hisui]] region. It was introduced in {{g|Legends: Arceus}} as the fourth member of the [[forces of nature]].

In [[Hisui]], it and {{p|Landorus}} were worshipped as the gods of field and spring who brought life to the region and signaled the end of winter, hence its title as the "Herald of Spring". According to legend, while it is known to be kind with its love, it will not hesitate to punish those who disrespect life.

===Generation IX ===
In [[Generation IX]], 11 Legendary Pokémon were introduced, bringing the total to 71. Of these, six were introduced in the base game of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, four in [[The Teal Mask]], and one in [[The Indigo Disk]].

====Wo-Chien, Chien-Pao, Ting-Lu, and Chi-Yu====
{{main|Treasures of ruin}}
The treasures of ruin—{{p|Wo-Chien}}, {{p|Chien-Pao}}, {{p|Ting-Lu}}, and {{p|Chi-Yu}}—are a quartet of Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Paldea]] region. They have been referred to as cursed treasures and Pokémon of Ruin. All of them are {{type|Dark}}.

According to legend, these four Legendary Pokémon were once four ancient treasures, but were corrupted by negative human emotions. They came into the possession of an ancient king of Paldea. Eventually, the king's greed awakened them and unleashed disasters, resulting in these berserk Pokémon destroying the kingdom. All four were later sealed away in shrines by ancient Pokémon wielders after a fierce battle.

====Koraidon and Miraidon====
{{main|Paradox duo}}
{{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}} are a duo of Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Paldea]] region. They are the [[game mascot]]s of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. They are [[Paradox Pokémon]], being past and future relatives of {{p|Cyclizar}}, respectively. Both are far more aggressive and powerful than their contemporary counterpart.

They can change into various forms to better facilitate travelling: Sprinting Build, Swimming Build, and Gliding Build for Koraidon; and Drive Mode, Aquatic Mode, and Glide Mode for Miraidon. While low in power, Koraidon and Miraidon assume the Limited Build and Low-Power Mode, respectively, while at their full strength, they battle in Apex Build and Ultimate Mode, respectively.

====Okidogi, Munkidori, and Fezandipiti====
{{main|Loyal Three}}
The Loyal Three—{{p|Okidogi}}, {{p|Munkidori}}, and {{p|Fezandipiti}}—are a trio of Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in [[Kitakami]]. They were first introduced in [[The Teal Mask]] DLC for {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.

In [[Kitakami]], they were believed to have protected Kitakami from {{p|Ogerpon}}, whose appearance frightened the villagers, causing them to be worshiped as heroes. In truth, the Loyal Three traveled to Kitakami after hearing of Ogerpon and its partner's masks, snuck into the cave Ogerpon settled in, and stole the [[Wellspring Mask|Wellspring]], [[Hearthflame Mask|Hearthflame]], and [[Cornerstone Mask]]s, leaving only the [[Teal Mask]] behind. Upon returning to its cave, an enraged Ogerpon donned the mask and went out to the village, cudgel in hand, to search for its friend. Upon meeting the Loyal Three, gloating over their stolen masks, Ogerpon attacked and defeated them, before leaving. The villagers, misunderstanding the situation, believed that the Loyal Three were protecting the village, creating a shrine and festival to celebrate their perceived heroism.

====Ogerpon====
{{p|Ogerpon}} is a Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in [[Kitakami]]. It was introduced in [[The Teal Mask]] DLC for {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.

It has four forms: [[Teal Mask]], [[Wellspring Mask]], [[Hearthflame Mask]], and [[Cornerstone Mask]]—each form possessing a unique {{Tera}}stallized state.

According to legend in The Teal Mask, it is said to have terrorized the land of Kitakami before being stopped by the [[Loyal Three]]: {{p|Okidogi}}, {{p|Munkidori}} and {{p|Fezandipiti}}. However, in reality, it defeated the trio for stealing three of its masks and hurting its human companion, but the villagers watching it assumed it had come to attack the village, seeing it as a terrible ogre. Only the mask maker who made Ogerpon's masks knew the true story, with this story being passed down to his descendants.

====Terapagos====
{{p|Terapagos}} is a Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in [[Paldea]]. It was introduced in [[The Indigo Disk]] DLC for {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.

Terapagos has three {{fd|Terapagos|forms}}: Normal Form, Terastal Form, and Stellar Form.

It is the origin of the [[Terastal phenomenon]] and was seen as only fiction by many in the Scarlet Book{{sup/9|S}}/Violet Book{{sup/9|V}}, the only ones knowing about its existence being [[Heath]] and [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}}. Around two million years ago, Terapagos lived on the surface of [[Paldea]] during ancient times, until seismic shifts caused it to fall underground. There, it remained asleep for many years as the [[Great Crater of Paldea]] formed, along with [[Area Zero]] and the [[Area Zero Underdepths]].

==Trivia==
*{{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}} are the only Legendary Pokémon to have their [[base stats]] reduced between generations.
*There have been Legendary Pokémon of every type except {{t|Bug}} type (excluding Silvally holding a [[Bug Memory]]).
*Every Special and Mythical Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Alola Pokédex]] is marked by a special golden background in its [[Pokédex]] page instead of a regular blue one; other Legendary Pokémon and Ultra Beasts are marked by a special green one.
*{{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Kubfu}}, {{p|Urshifu}}, and {{p|Terapagos}} are the only Legendary Pokémon that can be either gender.
** Heatran and Terapagos have an equal chance of being either gender, while Kubfu and Urshifu both have a 7:1 chance of being male.
***While Terapagos is coded to have an equal chance of being either gender, the Terapagos caught in [[The Indigo Disk]] will always be male.
*In an interview promoting the launch of {{game|Black and White|s}}, [[Junichi Masuda]] stated that Legendary Pokémon are the most difficult to design names for because Game Freak strives to make sure that the names of Legendary Pokémon are universal across the different translations, so extra work must be put into their names to make sure that they work universally in all languages.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20101228065540/http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/sp/index5.html 女子大生が訊く『ポケットモンスターブラック・ホワイト』] (archive)</ref> This is consistent with the relatively small number of Legendary Pokémon that have had their names changed significantly outside of Japan (currently 21: the [[legendary birds]], the [[lake guardians]], the [[forces of nature]], {{p|Type: Null}}, {{p|Silvally}}, the [[guardian deities]], {{p|Eternatus}}, {{p|Kubfu}}, {{p|Urshifu}}, {{p|Glastrier}}, {{p|Spectrier}}, {{p|Calyrex}}, and—in [[Pokémon in Greater China|Chinese]] only—the [[Mew duo]]).
* Each member of the [[Legendary beasts]] and the [[Tao trio]] has its own remix of each trio's designated battle theme:
**In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Suicune's theme uses bells, Entei's theme uses an electric guitar, and Raikou's theme is synthesized.
**Reshiram's theme employs a burning fire effect, Zekrom's theme employs a crackling thunder effect, and normal Kyurem's theme features an extra slapped bass part playing in the background.
*The [[Generation I]] games and their later remakes are the only [[core series]] games where:
**The main plot does not involve any Legendary Pokémon.
*Prior to [[Generation VI]], the core series games which serve as region debuts did not have any Legendary Pokémon from previous generations available without trades, transfers, or events.
**From [[Generation III]] onwards, all upper versions, sequels, and remakes in the core series have Legendary Pokémon from multiple generations available without trades, transfers, or events.
*The legendary birds are the Legendary Pokémon that have been available in the wild in the greatest number of core series games, each being able to be caught in twenty core series games ([[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]], {{v2|Yellow}}, [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, LeafGreen]], {{v2|Platinum}}, [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold, SoulSilver]], [[Pokémon X and Y|X, Y]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, Ultra Moon]], {{LGPE|Let's Go, Pikachu!, Let's Go, Eevee!}}, [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Sword, Shield]], [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Shining Pearl,]] [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Scarlet, and Violet]]).
*Every Legendary Pokémon has slow [[List of Pokémon by experience type|leveling rate]].
*In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], the [[Adventure Log]] lists recruiting Unown as an accomplishment. The Adventure Log otherwise only lists Mythical and Legendary Pokémon recruits, with the exception of {{p|Rotom}}.
*Rotom happens to be the only non-Legendary Pokémon to have the battle music of a Legendary Pokémon during at least one of its encounters, this encounter being in the [[Old Chateau]] in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl}}, {{v2|Platinum}}, {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl}}.
** In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky, Rotom has only one exclusive item that is found behind a locked door in a specific dungeon. It and {{p|Spiritomb}} are the only Pokémon that are neither Legendary nor Mythical that do this.
*So far, there is at least one Legendary Pokémon directly or indirectly related to each "battle gimmick" introduced in their respective regions:
**The [[Aura trio]] (specifically Xerneas and Yveltal) are theorized to be indirectly responsible for creating [[Mega Evolution]] in the [[Kalos]] region, while {{p|Rayquaza}} is believed to be responsible for Mega Evolution occurring in the [[Hoenn]] region.
** The [[Light trio]] and [[Guardian deities]] are directly related to [[Z-Move]]s.
**Eternatus is directly responsible for [[Dynamax]] and [[Gigantamax]].
**Terapagos is directly responsible for the [[Terastal phenomenon]].

'''Rockapheller''' (also known as ''Brandt'') is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] who travels across all the [[region]]s in the [[Pokémon world]] through [[Pokémon anime]], [[Pokémon games]] and [[Pokémon manga]] in order to [[Pokémon training|train]] [[Pokémon (species)|Pokémon]] and compete at the [[Pokémon League]], or engage with [[Myths and legends involving Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|the legends and myths]], as well as trainers of every [[region]] in order to understand the nature of Pokémon, people, world and the franchise as a whole.

== Pokémon teams ==

=== Brandt ===

: ''For all the teams with used by Brandt and further information, see [[User:Rockapheller/Brandt|Brandt]]''

In March 2018, I have started to record all my Pokémon teams on each of my playthrough. '''Brandt''' is the original persona that I have been using for my initial playthroughs ever since. He typically catches Pokémon that are introduced in the generation of its game. For example, he would use only [[Generation V]] Pokémon in any Generation V game. The exception is when the Pokémon has an [[evolution]] or a new form that are introduced in that generation. The most remarkable example being [[Mega Evolution]]s being introduced in [[Generation VI]].

=== Brandy ===

: ''For all the teams with used by Brandy and further information, see [[User:Rockapheller/Brandy|Brandy]]''

'''Brandy''' is the female counterpart to Brandt. She typically follows the same rules as Brandt while making up her teams. Additionally, she tends to ignore the Pokémon that Brandt has trained already, and instead chooses different species.

=== City names ===

: ''For all the teams with the city name theme and further information, see [[User:Rockapheller/City names|City names]]''

The [[player character]]s are named after cities, and their regular members on the [[party]] are nicknamed after a specific theme. For instance, the player character in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] is named ''Athens'' due to the theme of the game. The regular members on Athens's teams are nicknamed after Greek gods and goddesses. Unlike the previous playthrough patterns, during the city name runs, the Pokémon teams are not restricted to the corresponding generation of the game. The only rule is to prevent using the same Pokémon that have been used before.

=== Blind playthrough ===

: ''For all the teams with the blind playthrough theme and further information, see [[User:Rockapheller/Blind playthrough|Blind playthrough]]''

'''Blind playthrough''' refers to the gameplays that occur right after the release of the game. The distinct feature of these gameplays is the fact that I am not aware of any newly released Pokémon in these games apart from the ones officially revealed through trailers, including the evolutions of the starters, and I am allowed to play with only newly released species. The first one occurred right after the release of [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], and the trend is intended to continue with the releases of next [[generation]]s.

== Laidback missions ==

'''Laidback missions''' refer to minor missions that I repeat on a daily basis until I reach my goal. These missions often contain finding a rare form of a Pokémon which would take a lot of time when done at once. The ultimate goal is to complete my [[Living Pokédex]] which I had completed once before the release of [[Generation VIII]] games [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].

== [[Living Pokédex]] ==

I have completed a Living Pokédex after the release of [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]] by using [[Pokémon X and Y|Pokémon X]], [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby]], and [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Sun]]. After the release of [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], I have been trying to keep up with it, although some of the newly released Pokémon have yet to be added. At the moment, all the Pokémon are stored in [[Pokémon HOME]]. Initially, none of the Pokémon were meant to have all their various forms, but after the release of [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], I have decided to find the missing forms as much as possible. The search still continues to this day.

=== Games ===

[[File:Slateport City Mt Chimney artwork.png|thumb|280px|Hoenn artwork from Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]

* My first game is one of original [[Hoenn]] games that I started playing in 2005, but I don't remember which version it was. I stopped playing the game very early, because I didn't like the [[region]] back then.
** The first game I completed is [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Pokémon FireRed]].
** My favorite set of games are [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]].
* I have completed a [[Living Pokédex]] in early 2018.
* My longest [[Pokémon battle]] has been against [[Pokémon Champion|Champion]] [[Wallace]] in {{v|Emerald}}, lasting around 1 hour.
* The first game version I played without knowing any species outside of the ones revealed in the official trailers is [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet]].

==== Gameplay ====

[[File:Green Mega Blastoise Evolutions.png|thumb|280px|A Mega evolved Blastoise]]

* I never leave my [[first partner Pokémon]].
* I catch the "national bird" Pokémon and keep them on my team until the end unless I already had trained one in another version before.
* There are no types that I never trained.{{tt|*|Stats below contain my teams that I started recording since March 2018}}
** My most trained type is {{t|Normal}}, with 24.
** My least trained type is {{t|Steel}}, with 6.
* I only play with the Pokémon that debut in the generation of its game, unless the generation introduces a new evolution or form to the species.
* Until [[Generation VI]] games, I would have my Pokémon either with a beneficial or ineffective nature. This rule is broken from [[Pokémon X and Y|Pokémon X]] and onwards due to arguably easiness of the games.

Honey Tree

Rockapheller: /* Pokémon groups */ Made it more visually friendly

[[File:Honey Tree BDSP.png|thumb|250px|A Honey Tree in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}]]
'''Honey Trees''' are special trees in the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]] that {{player}}s can slather [[Honey]] on to attract [[wild Pokémon]].

==In the core series games==
[[File:Honey Tree Map BDSP.png|thumb|300px|Location of Honey Trees in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]]
There are 21 Honey Trees located throughout the Sinnoh region in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl]], [[Pokémon Platinum Version|Platinum]], [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl]]. If the player slathers Honey on a Honey Tree, a wild Pokémon may appear on the tree 6 real-life hours later. If a tree is left unchecked for 24 hours, both the Honey and any Pokémon will be gone. Changing the game system's clock will have no impact on the Honey Tree's timer.

Four of the 21 trees have a 1% chance to attract {{p|Munchlax}}; which four can do so are selected when the game begins, based on the player's [[Trainer ID number]] and [[Trainer ID number#Secret ID|secret ID number]], meaning that the only way to change which trees can attract Munchlax is to start a new game. Trees which can attract Munchlax are also more likely to attract rarer wild Pokémon.

The species of Pokémon (or whether one will appear at all) is determined at the time a tree is slathered. Therefore, once a tree is slathered, saving the game and resetting will not change the Pokémon that will appear on it. However, its [[level]], [[gender]], [[Nature]], {{IV}}s, and other random values are determined when it is encountered.

The timer only tracks minutes passed and uses new counters when entering [[Battles]] and the game [[Menu]]; as such, additional seconds spent are not accounted when transitioning from the overworld to these actions and vice-versa.

===Munchlax trees===
Which four Honey Trees can attract Munchlax depends on the player's Trainer ID and secret ID<ref>[http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/past-gen-rng-research.61090/page-34#post-3986326 Past Gen RNG Research | Page 34 | Smogon Forums]</ref> (referred to hereinafter as ''tid'' and ''sid'' respectively). These numbers are 2-byte values, and the game splits each into single bytes. ''tid''1 and ''sid''1 will refer to the lower byte of each ID number (calculable by <code>''id'' % 256</code>), while ''tid''2 and ''sid''2 will refer to the higher byte (calculable by <code>''id'' / 256</code>).

The location of the four Munchlax trees is then determined as follows:
:<code>''A'' = ''sid''1 [[wp:modulo operation|%]] 21</code>
:<code>''B'' = ''sid''2 % 21</code>
:<code>''C'' = ''tid''1 % 21</code>
:<code>''D'' = ''tid''2 % 21</code>

The game checks if any of these are equal. If ''A'' is equal to ''B'', ''B'' is increased by 1. The game then checks ''A'' against ''C'', followed by ''B'' against ''C'', adding 1 to ''C'' if it is equal after either check. Then the game checks ''A'' against ''D'', followed by ''B'' against ''D'', and then ''C'' against ''D'', and adds 1 to ''D'' if it is equal after any of the checks. If at any point any of ''B'', ''C'', or ''D'' would equal 21, they are set to 0 instead.

The final values of ''A'', ''B'', ''C'', and ''D'' represent the locations of the Munchlax trees. The number can be treated as a 0-based index into the list of Honey Tree locations above. For example, if ''A'' = 10, that means the southern Honey Tree on Route 212 can attract Munchlax.

===Pokémon groups===
When the game generates a species of wild Pokémon to appear on a Honey Tree, it first chooses from one of three possible "groups" of Pokémon before choosing a Pokémon from within that group. These groups are shown in the table below. The 17 non-Munchlax trees have a 70% chance of choosing from Group A, a 20% chance of choosing from Group B, a 0% chance of choosing from Group C, and a 10% chance of choosing no encounter. The four Munchlax trees have a 20% chance of choosing from Group A, a 70% chance of choosing from Group B, a 1% chance of choosing from Group C, and a 9% chance of choosing no encounter.

When Honey is slathered on a tree, if that tree is also the last tree that was slathered, there is a 90% chance that the game will pick the same group as it did the last time. If the tree's last slathering did not produce any Pokémon, it will be treated{{fact}} as if the tree had selected Group A.

===Shaking===
In general, the more a tree shakes, the more likely it is for a rare Pokémon to appear. The number of times a tree shakes is randomly decided depending on the group that was selected for the tree.
{| class="roundy" style="text-align:center; background:#{{gold color}}; border:3px solid #{{gold color dark}}"
|-
! style="background:#{{gold color light}}; {{roundytl|5px}}" | Shakes
! style="background:#{{gold color light}}" | Group A
! style="background:#{{gold color light}}" | Group B
! style="background:#{{gold color light}}; {{roundytr|5px}}" | {{tt|Group C|Munchlax}}
|- style="background:#fff"
| 0 || 20% || 1% || 1%
|- style="background:#fff"
| 1 || 59% || 20% || 1%
|- style="background:#fff"
| 2 || 20% || 75% || 5%
|-
| style="background:#fff; {{roundybl|5px}}" | 3
| style="background:#fff" | 1%
| style="background:#fff" | 4%
| style="background:#fff; {{roundybr|5px}}" | 93%
|}

So, based on the number of times a tree shakes, a Pokémon from each group will have the following chance to appear.

For normal trees:
{| class="roundy" style="text-align:center; background:#{{gold color}}; border:3px solid #{{gold color dark}}"
|-
! style="background:#{{gold color light}}; {{roundytl|5px}}" | Shakes
! style="background:#{{gold color light}}" | 0
! style="background:#{{gold color light}}" | 1
! style="background:#{{gold color light}}" | 2
! style="background:#{{gold color light}}; {{roundytr|5px}}" | 3
|- style="background:#fff"
| Group A || 98.6% || 91.2% || 48.3% || 46.7%
|-
| style="background:#fff; {{roundybl|5px}}" | Group B
| style="background:#fff" | 1.4%
| style="background:#fff" | 8.8%
| style="background:#fff" | 51.7%
| style="background:#fff; {{roundybr|5px}}" | 53.3%
|}

For Munchlax trees:
{| class="roundy" style="text-align:center; background:#{{gold color}}; border:3px solid #{{gold color dark}}"
|-
! style="background:#{{gold color light}}; {{roundytl|5px}}" | Shakes
! style="background:#{{gold color light}}" | 0
! style="background:#{{gold color light}}" | 1
! style="background:#{{gold color light}}" | 2
! style="background:#{{gold color light}}; {{roundytr|5px}}" | 3
|- style="background:#fff"
| Group A || 84.9% || 45.7% || 7.1% || 5.1%
|- style="background:#fff"
| Group B || 14.9% || 54.2% || 92.8% || 71.2%
|-
| style="background:#fff; {{roundybl|5px}}" | {{tt|Group C|Munchlax}}
| style="background:#fff" | 0.2%
| style="background:#fff" | 0.04%
| style="background:#fff" | 0.1%
| style="background:#fff; {{roundybr|5px}}" | 23.7%
|}

===Pokémon===
If the tree being slathered was also the last tree slathered (and the tree is empty), there is a 90% chance that the tree will attract a Pokémon from the same group that was used before, rendering the rates below inaccurate. See [[#Pokémon groups|above]] for an explanation of the sets and the exact rarities of Pokémon.

==In animation==
[[File:Barry Straw Hat.png|thumb|250px|[[Honey]] being slathered on a Honey Tree in {{aniseries|DP}}]]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|DP}}====
In ''[[DP030|Some Enchanted Sweetening!]]'', [[Cheryl]] was shown to have slathered a tree with Honey, which attracted many {{t|Grass}}- and {{type|Bug}} Pokémon, as well as [[Ash's Aipom]]. After catching a {{TP|Cheryl|Burmy}} that had been lured in by the Honey, Cheryl explained to {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} that she had wanted to catch a male Burmy so that she could evolve it into {{p|Mothim}} and use its help to find the Enchanted Honey, which is Honey gathered by {{p|Combee}} in the [[Amber Castle]], located deep in [[Eterna Forest]], and is said to be hundreds of times sweeter than normal Honey. In ''[[DP032|An Angry Combeenation!]]'', Cheryl managed to obtain some Enchanted Honey from a {{p|Vespiquen}}.

Some Honey was shown again in ''[[DP099|A Trainer and Child Reunion!]]'', used by {{TRT}} in an attempt to catch [[Aaron]]'s Vespiquen. It instead attracted a {{p|Munchlax}}, much like in the games.

In ''[[DP138|Strategy Begins at Home!]]'', Honey was planted on a tree by a young boy named [[Nathaniel]], which attracted a {{p|Heracross}}.

In a flashback in ''[[DP140|Historical Mystery Tour!]]'', it was revealed that {{an|Barry}} used Honey to attract a Heracross, which he then caught. He repeated this same scenario in an illusionary adventure that a {{tc|Clown}} sent him to.
{{-}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Honey tree DPA.png|thumb|200px|A Honey Tree in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}====
In ''[[PS343|Honey for Combee]]'', as {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}} ventured into [[Floaroma Meadow]], Diamond and his Pokémon smelled Honey and ran off to lick it off a tree, only to be attacked by a swarm of angry {{p|Combee}}, whom the Honey had been meant for. Later, the trio ventured into the [[Valley Windworks]], where they met [[Mars]], who filled the Windworks control room with {{m|Sandstorm|sand}} in order to do away with them. Pearl and Platinum ended up outside the building and were able to uncover Diamond's location inside the building and save him thanks to a group of Combee being attracted by the scent of Honey on Diamond and his Pokémon.

===Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!===
In ''[[DPA05|Find Munchlax!!]]'', a {{tc|Collector}} used Honey in an attempt to lure out a {{p|Munchlax}}. However, the Honey instead ended up being eaten away by [[Hareta]].
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Honey may originally have been planned for [[Generation II]], where [[Pokémon Gold and Silver beta|unused text]] refers to an item called Sweet Honey (Japanese: あまいミツ ''Sweet Honey''), which could be used to attract Pokémon by slathering it on a tree and waiting about a day, nearly identical to its behavior in Generation IV.

The '''ancient castle''' (Japanese: '''古城''' ''old castle'') is an {{pkmn|animated series}}-exclusive location in the [[Galar]] [[region]], located near [[Hammerlocke]].

In ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]'', [[Diana]]'s {{p|Squawkabilly}} led [[Liko]], [[Roy]], and [[Friede]] to the ancient castle, the entrance of which was hidden and guarded by a {{p|Stonjourner}}. It was here where Diana was living during her time in Galar and where she reunited with her granddaughter, Liko. Soon, [[Amethio]] and his teammates invaded the ancient castle after scaring off the Stonjourner.

In ''[[HZ025|Rivals in the Dark of Night!]]'', [[Hamber]], [[Coral]], and [[Sidian]] also arrived at the ancient castle. The confrontation ended with Coral's {{p|Glalie}} using {{m|Self-Destruct}}, leaving the castle in ruins.

'''Stantler''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''オドシシ''' ''Odoshishi'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], it [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Wyrdeer}} after using {{m|Psyshield Bash}} in the [[Move mastery|agile style]] at least 20 times. It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon in other games.

==Biology==
Stantler is a quadrupedal, {{wp|deer|cervid}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has a tan pelt with a cream-colored belly and a few spots on its back. Its tail is large, short, and round, and each of its legs ends in a black hoof. It has a large, brown nose and a pair of pale cream-colored antlers, each with a black orb in the center. The shape of the antlers and the black orbs causes them to resemble eyes. Stantler can distort reality and create illusions with its antlers by subtly changing the flow of air around them. Staring into them creates an odd sensation, as if one is being sucked through them, and one may become so dizzy that it is impossible to stand. The orbs on the antlers have a pleasant scent, which can induce a bewildering effect on people. The orbs can also be ground into a powder that aids in sleeping.

Stantler's strange antlers were very valuable as works of art, and as such, the species was nearly hunted to extinction. Stantler live in herds in temperate, mountainous {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests}}; these herds are sometimes led by a {{p|Wyrdeer}}. As shown in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP125|The Little Big Horn]]'', a baby Stantler that is separated from its herd and frightened will instinctively produce an illusion of a big, stampeding herd to scare away perceived threats. In the past, Stantler lived in tougher environments with more enemies, which strengthened its psychic powers and allowed it to evolve into Wyrdeer.

Stantler and its evolved form, Wyrdeer, are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Psyshield Bash}}.

===Evolution===
In [[Hisui]], Stantler evolves into {{p|Wyrdeer}}.

==Trivia==
* Stantler is found on [[Johto]] {{rt|36|Johto}}, which leads to [[Violet City]], the game counterpart of {{wp|Nara, Nara|Nara, Japan}}, a city where many tame deer roam freely.
* [[Nob Ogasawara]], the translator of the Pokémon games to English, had suggested "Scaribou" for Stantler's English name, although it was not accepted by [[Nintendo of America]].<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSpN7TDmmm4 Interview with Nob Ogasawara by TheSpeedGamers.] Livestreamed on June 24, 2014; recording posted on YouTube on August 7, 2014.</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZ0xJ1x5kMA Interview with Nob Ogasawara by ANMTV.] Posted on YouTube on September 28, 2022.</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/DougDinsdale/status/1383986646517829637 Tweet by Nob Ogasawara (@DougDinsdale).] Posted on April 18, 2021. ([https://web.archive.org/web/20210419033218/https://twitter.com/DougDinsdale/status/1383986646517829637 archive])</ref>
* Stantler and {{p|Ursaring}}'s evolution requirements, as well as {{p|Scyther}}'s evolution into {{p|Kleavor}}, are all programmed into [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], with the Pokémon being affected by the [[Eviolite]] item. However, the methods are disabled, preventing the Pokémon from evolving. Stantler is programmed to evolve into Wyrdeer by leveling up after using the move Psyshield Bash 20 times.
**In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Stantler can only learn Psyshield Bash as an [[Egg Move]] by having it passed down from a Wyrdeer.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Stantler}}
Stantler seems to be based on a number of deer species, such as the {{wp|sika deer}}, {{wp|reindeer}}, {{wp|elk}}, or {{wp|moose}}. It may also have elements of the {{wp|Japanese serow}}, also known as ''kamoshika'' or ''kamoshishi''. It may also be based on 鹿威し ''{{wp|shishi-odoshi}}'' or "deer scare", a Japanese device traditionally used to scare deer and other animals away from gardens.

====Name origin====
Stantler may be a combination of ''startle'', ''stare'', or ''stag'' (a male deer) and ''antler''.

Odoshishi may be derived from 鹿威し ''shishi-odoshi''.

A '''Fossil''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|化石|カセキ}}''' ''Fossil'') is a trace or piece of an organism from the past, such as a skeleton, shell, or leaf, preserved in the earth.

In the [[Pokémon world]], Fossils of prehistoric Pokémon are [[item]]s which can be revived into living Pokémon using techniques developed by the [[Devon Corporation]] and a research laboratory on [[Cinnabar Island]]. The two institutions purportedly developed their techniques independently of each other at around the same time. There are also other scientists around the Pokémon world who can revive Fossils using these techniques.

Pokémon revived from Fossils and the evolutions of those Pokémon are called '''Fossil Pokémon''', or '''fossil Pokémon.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-tcg/product-gallery/xy-ancient-power-box Ancient Power Box], Product Gallery</ref><ref>[https://pokemon.com/us/animation/seasons/23/episode-38-restore-and-renew ''Restore & Renew!'' description, [[Pokémon.com]]]</ref><ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/fossil-pokemon-take-over-pokemon-gos-2023-adventure-week Fossil Pokémon Take Over Pokémon GO’s 2023 Adventure Week], [[Pokémon.com]]</ref><ref>Pokémon TCG Rulebooks</ref>

==In the games==
Scientists who can revive Fossils can be found in every [[core series]] game except the [[Generation II]] games and {{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Scarlet and Violet}}.
* [[Kanto]]: [[Cinnabar Lab]]{{sup/1|RBY}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}{{sup/7|PE}} or [[Pewter Museum of Science]]{{sup/4|HGSS}}

Prior to Generation IV, Fossils were Key Items. However, from Generation IV and on, they are normal items, meaning that they can be traded freely between games. The table below summarizes the natural availability of the Fossils in the core series games.

In the games, relatively few [[Pokémon Trainer]]s possess Pokémon revived from Fossils, since they are considered rare and difficult to obtain.

===[[Generation I]]===
[[File:Green Mt. Moon Fossils.png|thumb|The Fossils found in Mt. Moon]]
In {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, the first three Fossils were introduced. They have also appeared in most of the later games. They can be resurrected into these respective Pokémon:

{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background:#{{kanto color dark}}; border:5px solid #{{kanto color}}"
|-
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Helix Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|138|Omanyte}}
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Dome Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|140|Kabuto}}
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Old Amber Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|142|Aerodactyl}}
|-
| style="background:#{{water color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|000|Helix Fossil}}
| style="background:#{{water color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|000|Dome Fossil}}
| style="background:#{{flying color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|000|Old Amber|Old Amber}}
|}

The Helix and Dome Fossils are chosen near the end of the second basement passage in [[Mt. Moon]], being guarded by a Super Nerd, but the player may only choose one to keep. The other one that the Super Nerd takes will be revived and put on display in the [[Fuchsia City]] zoo in front of the [[Safari Zone]]. The Old Amber is located in the secret part of the [[Pewter Museum of Science]], which can only be accessed with [[HM01]] Cut. In the regularly accessible portion of the museum are complete fossilized skeleton displays of {{p|Kabutops}} and Aerodactyl.

A scientist in the Pokémon Lab on [[Cinnabar Island]] can revive the Fossils. The resulting Pokémon are level 30.

There are no held items in [[Generation I]], so fossils cannot be given to Pokémon to hold.

[[Lance]] is the first Trainer to be seen with a Fossil Pokémon, possessing an Aerodactyl due to its draconic appearance.

===[[Generation II]]===
No new Fossils were introduced in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, and the three Fossils from Generation I have been removed from the games' data. In-game, the player simply doesn't happen to find any Fossil during their adventure, while the previously introduced Cinnabar Lab has been destroyed.

However, {{p|Omanyte}}, {{p|Kabuto}}, and {{p|Aerodactyl}} are prominently featured in the puzzles located at [[Ruins of Alph]]. Of the three, only Aerodactyl is actually obtainable in the games via an in-game [[trade]] with an NPC in Kanto (for {{p|Chansey}}). Omanyte and Kabuto must be traded from Generation I.

[[Lance]], who is now the [[Pokémon Champion]], continues to have an Aerodactyl on his team. In addition, [[Brock]], being a Fossil enthusiast, has an {{p|Omastar}} and a {{p|Kabutops}} in this generation's games, as well as the [[Pokémon Stadium series|Stadium games]] in [[Gym Leader Castle]]. His fondness of Fossils is referenced again in the next generation of games when a man in [[Mt. Moon]] mentions that Brock helps excavate Fossils at the location, which implies that he excavated Omastar and Kabutops's Fossils himself.

===[[Generation III]]===
In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, two new Fossils were introduced. They can be resurrected into these respective Pokémon:

{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background:#{{hoenn color dark}}; border:5px solid #{{hoenn color}}"
|-
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Root Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|345|Lileep}}
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Claw Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|347|Anorith}}
|-
| style="background:#{{grass color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|000|Root Fossil}}
| style="background:#{{bug color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|000|Claw Fossil}}
|}

In Ruby and Sapphire, the player can choose one of either the Root or Claw Fossils at {{rt|111|Hoenn}}, and upon choosing, the other will sink away into the sand. In Emerald, however, while the player can only choose one initially at the [[Mirage Tower]], they can retrieve the other later at the end of the [[Desert Underpass]]. In all three versions, Fossils may be revived by a scientist in the [[Devon Corporation]] building in [[Rustboro City]] and the newly resurrected Pokémon are obtained at level 20.

In the {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Generation I remakes|s}}, the player can obtain the same Fossils as in the original versions: a required choice of the [[Helix Fossil|Helix]] or the [[Dome Fossil]] after fighting a Super Nerd in the second basement of [[Mt. Moon]], and the [[Old Amber]] from a scientist in the secret area of the [[Pewter Museum of Science]]. Likewise, a Scientist on [[Cinnabar Island]] can still revive the fossils; however, the newly resurrected Pokémon are this time obtained at level 5.

In {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, the [[Champion]] [[Steven Stone]] has two Fossil Pokémon, {{p|Cradily}} and {{p|Armaldo}}. In {{v2|Emerald}}, over the course of rematches, [[Roxanne]] will eventually gain a {{p|Kabutops}}, an {{p|Omastar}}, and an {{p|Aerodactyl}} for her team. In this game, Steven is no longer the Champion, but he may be encountered at [[Meteor Falls]] with a higher level variation on his original team that still includes his Fossil Pokémon partners. In {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, Lance continues to have Aerodactyl on his team, the resurrected form of the fossil that wasn't chosen at Mt. Moon can still be viewed at the zoo in [[Fuchsia City]], and complete fossilized skeletons of Kabutops and Aerodactyl are still on display at the Pewter Museum of Science.

In Generation III, all Fossils are Key Items, and cannot be traded to other games to be revived.

===[[Generation IV]]===
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, two new Fossils were again introduced:

{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background:#{{sinnoh color dark}}; border:5px solid #{{sinnoh color}}"
|-
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Skull Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|408|Cranidos}}
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Armor Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|410|Shieldon}}
|-
| style="background:#{{rock color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|000|Skull Fossil}}
| style="background:#{{steel color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|000|Armor Fossil}}
|}

These Fossils can be turned into level 20 Pokémon at the [[Oreburgh Mining Museum]].

In Diamond and Pearl, for the first time in the series, the Fossils the player is able to receive are dependent on the version played: Skull Fossils are available in Diamond only and Armor Fossils in Pearl only. In Platinum, whichever Fossil a player digs up will depend on whether the Trainer ID is even or odd. If the Trainer ID is even, the player will dig up Armor Fossils only, and if the Trainer ID is odd, the player will dig up Skull Fossils only.

In [[Sinnoh]], when players travel to the [[Underground]], they can find most of the Fossils by digging, along with several other rare items, potentially. After getting the [[National Pokédex]], they can also find the five Fossils from the previous three generations. However, the chances of finding most of the previous generation Fossils, much like with several other items, follows a similar formula to the Sinnoh Fossils. This makes it easier to find certain Fossils which are found uncommonly, while the others become more difficult in the opposite version which instead are found very rarely. For example, the Helix and Claw Fossils have an easier chance to be found if the Skull Fossil is available, or the Dome and Root Fossil if the Armor Fossil is available. The Old Amber is the only Fossil whose ratio remains unchanged regardless of version as it will always be found rarely.

In [[Johto]]'s [[Generation IV]] games, the [[Dome Fossil|Dome]]{{sup/4|SS}} and [[Helix Fossil|Helix]]{{sup/4|HG}} Fossils as well as the [[Old Amber]] can be found randomly by smashing [[breakable rock]]s outside [[Ruins of Alph]]. [[Root Fossil|Root]]{{sup/4|SS}} and [[Claw Fossil|Claw]]{{sup/4|HG}} Fossils can be found randomly by smashing [[breakable rock]]s in the [[Cliff Cave]] after entering the [[Hall of Fame]]. Fossils found in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} can be revived as level 20 Pokémon at the [[Pewter Museum of Science]]. The Skull and Armor Fossils are absent from both games, so either they, or the Pokémon revived from them, must be transferred from Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum.

Starting in this generation, Fossils are considered to be normal items. As such, they can be held by a Pokémon and traded to another game.

[[Roark]] has a Cranidos, while his father, [[Byron]], has a {{p|Bastiodon}}. {{p|Rampardos}} and Shieldon are also used by two minor Trainers. After entering the [[Hall of Fame]], {{p|Aerodactyl}} can be spotted with other Trainers.

As in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, [[Brock]] has an {{p|Omastar}} and a {{p|Kabutops}} on his team in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} and also uses a Rampardos in rematches. [[Lance]] continues to have Aerodactyl on his initial team, but it is not used in rematches.

===[[Generation V]]===
{{game|Black and White|s}} once again brought a new set of Fossils to the Pokémon world:

{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background:#{{unova color dark}}; border:5px solid #{{unova color}}"
|-
| width="120px" style="background:#{{water color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Cover Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|564|Tirtouga}}
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Plume Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|566|Archen}}
|-
| style="background:#{{rock color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|000|Cover Fossil}}
| style="background:#{{flying color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|000|Plume Fossil}}
|}

These Fossils can be revived into level 25 Pokémon using a machine in the [[Nacrene City]] Museum.

In Pokémon Black and White, one of these two Fossils will be given away by a person in [[Relic Castle]], similar to how the Helix and Dome Fossils are originally obtained in the Kanto-based games.

In the [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|sequels]] to these games, the Cover and Plume Fossils are instead given away by former Gym Leader [[Lenora]] at the Nacrene City Museum itself, which is only accessible after defeating [[Iris]] and entering the Hall of Fame.

After defeating [[Ghetsis]]{{sup/5|BW}} or [[Iris]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}, Fossils that were introduced in previous generations will be given out by a {{tc|Worker}} in [[Twist Mountain]], with one being given out per day. In addition, after defeating Iris and achieving Rank 15 for [[Join Avenue]], the Antique Shop on Join Avenue has a chance of selling a mystery box that could contain any fossil, whether introduced in Generation V or earlier. And as with Generation IV, Fossils are regular items and may be held by Pokémon and traded to other games.

In [[Chargestone Cave]], a couple of {{tc|Ace Trainer}}s battle with a {{p|Tirtouga}} and an {{p|Archen}} in both sets of games. The potential Pokémon used by opponents on the [[Battle Subway]] are inclusive of both Fossil Pokémon and their evolutions, and {{tc|Subway Boss}} [[Emmet]] uses {{p|Archeops}} in one of his rematch battles.

In Black and White, both {{p|Carracosta}} and Archeops are used by [[N]] in the final battle against him within [[N's Castle|his castle]].

In Black 2 and White 2, two {{tc|Backpacker}}s on {{rt|1|Unova}} also use teams entirely made out of Fossil Pokémon, and new Gym Leader [[Marlon]] uses {{p|Carracosta}} in all battles against him. During [[Pokémon World Tournament]] competitions, many contenders use teams that may include of Fossil Pokémon: {{ga|Blue}} has {{p|Aerodactyl}}; [[Brock]] has {{p|Omastar}}, {{p|Kabutops}}, and Aerodactyl; [[Erika]] has {{p|Cradily}}; [[Falkner]] has Aerodactyl; [[Bugsy]] has {{p|Armaldo}}; [[Roxanne]] has Cradily, Armaldo, and Carracosta; [[Steven Stone|Steven]] has Cradily, Armaldo, and Archeops; [[Roark]] has {{p|Rampardos}} and Archeops; Byron has {{p|Bastiodon}}; [[Skyla]] has Archeops; [[Marlon]] has Carracosta; Ace Trainer X has Archeops; and Ace Trainer Makina has Tirtouga. In the Rental Tournaments, all four Generation V fossil Pokémon are available to rent by both the player and all other competing trainers.

===[[Generation VI]]===
Two Fossil Pokémon were introduced for {{g|X and Y}}.

{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background:#{{kalos color dark}}; border:5px solid #{{kalos color}}"
|-
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Jaw Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|696|Tyrunt}}
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Sail Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|698|Amaura}}
|-
| style="background:#{{dragon color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|000|Jaw Fossil}}
| style="background:#{{ice color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|000|Sail Fossil}}
|}

One of the two Fossils is given to the player in [[Glittering Cave]] and can be restored at the research facility in [[Ambrette Town]]. The resulting Pokémon are level 20. The [[Old Amber]] can also be collected after this by smashing [[breakable rock]]s in the back of Glittering Cave.

Gym Leader [[Grant]] uses {{p|Tyrunt}} and {{p|Amaura}} and their evolved forms in subsequent rematches. Champion [[Diantha]] also uses {{p|Tyrantrum}} and {{p|Aurorus}}.

After entering the [[Hall of Fame]], the player can return to Glittering Cave and smash rocks to find the Skull, Armor, Plume, and Cover Fossils, regardless of version, as well as Root and Claw Fossils{{sup/6|X}} or Dome and Helix Fossils{{sup/6|Y}}.

In Hoenn's Generation VI games, the Root and Claw Fossil are collected and restored the same way as the original Ruby and Sapphire games. Restoring Fossils can be done at the second floor of the [[Devon Corporation]]. After battling {{p|Groudon}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/6|AS}}, a number of other Fossils can be collected by smashing [[breakable rock]]s at the [[Mirage spot]]s. While the Old Amber can be found regardless of version, the Dome, Armor, and Plume Fossils are exclusive to Omega Ruby and the Helix, Skull, and Cover Fossils are exclusive to Alpha Sapphire. The Jaw and Sail Fossils are absent from both games, but may be transferred from X and Y - for as with Generations IV and V, Fossils are regular items and may be held by Pokémon and traded to other games.

===[[Generation VII]]===
Generation VII introduces no new Fossils, but the player may obtain most of the previous Fossils depending on the game. In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], only the Fossils from Sinnoh and Unova are available. Their location is at [[Olivia]]'s jewelry shop in [[Konikoni City]], where the player can buy a [[Skull Fossil]] and a [[Cover Fossil]] in Pokémon Sun or an [[Armor Fossil]] and a [[Plume Fossil]] in Pokémon Moon.

In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], this has been expanded to include more of the previous Fossils which were absent from the original games. The [[Helix Fossil|Helix]], [[Claw Fossil|Claw]], and [[Jaw Fossil|Jaw]] Fossils may be purchased alongside the Skull and Cover Fossils in Ultra Sun, and the [[Dome Fossil|Dome]], [[Root Fossil|Root]], and [[Sail Fossil|Sail]] Fossils may be purchased alongside the Armor and Plume Fossils in Ultra Moon. Additionally, unlike the original games, any of these fossils can now also be obtained from Isle Aphun at [[Poké Pelago]] regardless of version. This is done from conducting a Rare Treasure-Hunting expedition (or an Interesting Item-Hunting expedition once the island has reached Development Level 3), where any of these Fossils have a very rare chance of being obtained.

The Fossils can be revived at the Fossil Restoration Center on {{rt|8|Alola}}. The newly revived Pokémon come at level 15.

Unlike the other Fossils, the [[Old Amber]] is unobtainable in [[Alola]]. Instead, an {{p|Aerodactyl}} can be obtained at [[Seafolk Village]] as a [[gift Pokémon]].

Several minor Trainers use some of these Fossil Pokémon or their evolved forms as part of their teams. In addition for Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon only, [[Olivia]] uses both {{p|Lileep}} and {{p|Anorith}} during her grand trial. Later, when the player faces Olivia at the {{al|Pokémon League}}, they have evolved into {{p|Cradily}} and {{p|Armaldo}} respectively as part of her upgraded team. At the [[Battle Tree]], {{tc|Battle Legend}} {{ga|Blue}} uses Aerodactyl, much as he had in for the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], all three Kanto Fossils are obtainable in the same locations as they were in Generations I and III. On the second basement of [[Mt. Moon]], the player must still make a choice of either the [[Helix Fossil|Helix]] or [[Dome Fossil]] to proceed with the main story, and the [[Old Amber]] may still be obtained from a scientist in the restricted annex at the [[Pewter Museum of Science]] after their first partner Pokémon has learned the Secret Technique [[Chop Down]]. All three fossils may be revived at the lab on [[Cinnabar Island]], but this time the resulting Pokémon are obtained at level 44.

Additional instances of the Kanto fossils may be obtained in these versions; a first for the [[Generation I]] [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|games]] [[Pokémon Yellow Version|and]] [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|their]] [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|remakes]]. All three fossils may be found on the second floor of [[Cerulean Cave]], where random rare items spawn occasionally.

During rematches, [[Brock]] adds an {{p|Omastar}} and a {{p|Kabutops}} to his team in a reflection of their usages in [[Generation II]], {{2v2|Heart Gold|Soul Silver}}, and Black 2 and White 2. [[Lance]] still uses an Aerodactyl on both his teams, as does Blue in his rematch team in a reflection of its usage in his teams in Black 2 and White 2, Sun and Moon, and Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. Either {{p|Omanyte}} or {{p|Kabuto}} may still be seen at the Zoo in [[Fuchsia City]], depending on which fossil was not chosen in Mt. Moon, and the fossilized skeletons of Aerodactyl and Kabutops are still on display in the Pewter Museum's normally accessible floors.

===[[Generation VIII]]===
Generation VIII introduced four new Fossils, the most of any generation. Reviving Fossils in {{g|Sword and Shield}} is a much different process than it has been in the past generations. Two completely different Fossils must be combined, by [[Cara Liss]] on {{rt|6|Galar}}, to form a chimeric Fossil Pokémon. These Pokémon all start at [[level]] 10, their [[Gender unknown|genders are unknown]], and [[No Eggs Discovered (Egg Group)|cannot breed]]. These are also the only Fossil Pokémon that are not {{type|Rock}}.

Most previous Fossil Pokémon can be encountered in the {{pkmn2|wild}} in the [[Crown Tundra]], often as [[wanderer]]s, with possible exceptions being {{p|Omanyte}} and {{p|Omastar}} (exclusive to Sword), {{p|Kabuto}} and {{p|Kabutops}} (exclusive to Shield), and [[Generation IV]] Fossil Pokémon (unavailable in both versions). While no attention is brought to the reason for their presence as wild Pokémon in modern times, with most of their [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] in Sword and Shield either mentioning they were revived from Fossils or glossing over their status as Fossil Pokémon entirely, {{p|Omanyte}}'s entry in Pokémon Sword specifically mentions specimens that either escaped or were [[Released Pokémon|released]] after their revival. The only other clearly stated case is {{p|Kabuto}}, whose Pokédex entries have been mentioning its status as a {{wp|living fossil}} since [[Generation II]]. Data for their respective Fossils still exists in the games, but they cannot be obtained.

In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, it is for the most part the same as {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, with only the Fossils from the first four generations available, with Skull Fossils being exclusive to Brilliant Diamond and Armor Fossils being exclusive to Shining Pearl. They can be dug up in the Underground's replacement, the [[Grand Underground]]. Unlike the originals, the Fossils from the first three Generations are available earlier; the requirement for them to appear in the Grand Underground is to defeat or capture {{p|Dialga}}{{sup/8|BD}} or {{p|Palkia}}{{sup/8|SP}} on the [[Spear Pillar]], rather than obtaining the [[National Pokédex]], but their encounter ratio is still the same depending on the version like the original games, excluding the Old Amber.. Like in the originals, [[Roark]] uses a {{p|Cranidos}} and his father [[Byron]] uses a {{p|Bastiodon}}, both as their highest-leveled Pokémon. {{p|Rampardos}} and {{p|Shieldon}} are used by a few Trainers, and the former evolves from Roark's Cranidos in the [[rematch]] with him, which can be done once per day after entering the [[Hall of Fame]] and obtaining the National Pokédex. In said rematch, Roark additionally uses an {{p|Aerodactyl}} and an {{p|Armaldo}}, two other Fossil Pokémon.

In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Fossils do not exist at all, in the game's coding or otherwise. Rather, only {{p|Cranidos}} and {{p|Shieldon}} can be obtained, and they can be found as rare spawns in [[space-time distortion]]s in the [[Coronet Highlands]].

===[[Generation IX]]===
Generation IX introduces no new Fossils or Fossil Pokémon, and {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, similar to the Generation II games, do not allow the player to obtain or revive any Fossils. The {{p|Cranidos}} and {{p|Shieldon}} lines are the only Fossil Pokémon present in the games, found in the wild in the [[Terarium]].

===Pokémon Quest===
[[File:Quest Fossil.png|thumb|100px|A Fossil in Pokémon Quest]]
A Fossil is an ingredient that can be used in {{OBP|cooking|Quest}} to attract wild Pokémon in [[Pokémon Quest]]. They are grey ingredients that are hard, small, and a mineral.

====Description====
{{movedesc|items}}
{{movedescentry|'''{{color2|{{orange color dark}}|Pokémon Quest|Quest}}'''|Hard and small ingredients.}}
|}
|}

====Acquisition====
Fossil is a possible ingredient that can be obtained by completing [[Tumblecube Island|expeditions]]. As they are grey, Fossils are most commonly found in the areas [[Parched Peak]] and [[Farside Fjord]]. They can also be obtained randomly by recycling [[Power Stone]]s.

==In animation==
===Pokémon animated series===
[[File:Plume Fossil SM.png|thumb|250px|A Plume Fossil in {{aniseries|SM}}]]
[[File:Sunkern leaf fossil.png|thumb|250px|A fossilized {{p|Sunkern}} leaf in {{aniseries|DP}}]]
In the {{pkmn|animated series}}, some Fossil Pokémon are in fact, not extinct, but have simply been hibernating underground for millions of years, as seen in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', ''[[EP089|Shell Shock!]]'', and ''[[EP163|Fossil Fools]]''. However {{Gary}} has used research to directly revive Fossil Pokémon, as seen in ''[[HS15|Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl!]]''. Unlike in the {{pkmn|games}}, where Fossils of ancient Pokémon are resurrected into the skeletons of the prehistoric using a machine that recreates the missing organs that had decomposed away from the genes extracted in the remains, this Aerodactyl was in fact completely revived from a Fossil that was fully preserved inside of an Old Amber for millions of years and thus still had the memories of its past life.

[[Butler]] tried to create a {{p|Groudon}} for [[Team Magma]] in a flashback ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' from a fossilized remnant, but the experiment failed and Butler was kicked out of Team Magma. In the present day, he attempted to use {{OBP|Jirachi|M06}}'s power to complete the resurrection process to prove his theory, only to end up creating [[Meta Groudon|a monster resembling Groudon]] that needed to be stopped.

In ''[[AG102|Where's Armaldo?]]'', [[Professor Proctor]] was shown to have used research to directly revive Fossils on [[Wales Island]], his dream being to create a wildlife park filled with Fossil Pokémon.

[[Roark]], as he does in the {{pkmn|games}}, has a Cranidos which evolves into a {{TP|Roark|Rampardos}}. Roark and his team retrieve Fossils from the [[Oreburgh Mine]] and give them to the [[Oreburgh Mining Museum]]. The museum's director [[Dr. Kenzo]] uses the Fossils for their Fossil revitalization program. Roark's Pokémon, as well as several other Fossil Pokémon revived by the Fossil Restorer Machine, appear in ''[[DP016|A Gruff Act to Follow!]]'', ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets!]]'', and ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos we Watched!]]''. [[Byron]], Roark's father, also has quite a collection in [[Canalave Gym|his Gym]]. This includes the Fossil Pokémon {{p|Kabuto}}, {{p|Kabutops}}, {{p|Omanyte}}, {{p|Omastar}}, {{p|Cradily}}, and {{p|Armaldo}}, as well as a giant Claw Fossil. He also kept a {{p|Sunkern}} leaf Fossil that Roark found when he was a child.

In ''[[BW014|A Night in the Nacrene City Museum!]]'', a {{p|Kabuto}} Fossil was first seen chasing [[Hawes]], as he claimed it to be doing, but was later seen safely placed in a display case. Hawes later explained what it was to the trio. It was later revealed that the {{p|Yamask}} in the Nacrene City Museum was using its move {{m|Psychic}} to make the Dome Fossil float and chase after Hawes after he put its mask in a display case, thinking that it was a replica Yamask mask given to him as a gift from the company that made a {{p|Cofagrigus}} replica after purchasing it from them for the museum.

[[Lenora]] gave a Plume Fossil to [[Professor Juniper]] and [[Fennel]] prior to ''[[BW036|Archeops In The Modern World!]]''. They successfully resurrected a female {{p|Archen}} from the Fossil using {{p|Musharna}}'s dream energy. With the help of {{Ash}} and his {{AP|Tranquill}}, Archen learned how to fly and then evolved into {{p|Archeops}}.

In ''[[BW075|A Restoration Confrontation! Part 1]]'', {{TRT}} stole a Cover Fossil from [[Ferris]]. [[Dr. Zager]] revived it into a {{p|Tirtouga}} as part of a plot to lead the team to a [[Time travel|time gate]] beneath [[Twist Mountain]], but the Tirtouga subsequently escaped, evolved into {{p|Carracosta}}, and returned to the past through the time gate in [[BW076|the next episode]].

{{an|Kiawe}} found two Fossils in ''[[SM032|Treasure Hunt, Akala Style!]]'', during the [[Poké Ride|Stoutland Search]] treasure hunt set up for Ash and his classmates by [[Olivia]]. On the first round, he found a Skull Fossil, and on the second one, he found a Plume Fossil.

[[Goh]] found an Old Amber in ''[[JN038|Restore and Renew!]]'' during a Fossil excavation at the [[Pewter Museum of Science]]. It was later revived into an {{TP|Goh|Aerodactyl}} and caught by him.

In ''[[JN050|A Pinch of This, a Pinch of That!]]'', Ash, Goh, and [[Chloe]] traveled to [[Galar]] to dig up Fossils in the [[Wild Area]]. With the help of [[Cara Liss]] and [[Bray Zenn]], they found four Fossils and revived them into a {{AP|Dracovish}} and an {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Arctozolt}}, which Ash and Goh, respectively, later caught.

===Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Super Nerd PO.png|thumb|250px|Dome and Helix Fossils in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
The Dome and Helix Fossils were seen briefly in ''[[PO02|File 2: Cubone]]'', being hogged by a {{tc|Super Nerd}} whom {{OBP|Red|Origins}} encountered on [[Mt. Moon]].

In ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]'', Red was seen using a {{p|Kabutops}} in his battle against [[Giovanni]], presumably revived from a Dome Fossil. Since Red is mentioned to have caught all 150 [[Generation I]] Pokémon (excluding {{p|Mew}}) by the time of ''[[PO04|File 4: Charizard]]'', it means that he has also obtained the other Kanto Fossil Pokémon, presumably also revived from Fossils. As {{OBP|Blue|Origins}} was mentioned to have collected 148 Pokémon, it is likely that he had also collected all Kanto Fossil Pokémon.

==In the TCG==
[[File:UnidentifiedFossilAstralRadiance157.jpg|200px|thumb|The {{TCG ID|Astral Radiance|Unidentified Fossil|157}} from the Sword & Shield Series, which can evolve into the most different species of Pokémon. While it shows the Helix, Skull, Armor, and Sail Fossils, both species related to those Fossils and species unrelated to those Fossils can evolve from Unidentified Fossil]]
Fossils are included as cards in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. They are {{TCG|Trainer card}}s, and when the Trainer card type was split into multiple subtypes in {{TCG|Black & White}}, cards depicting Fossils usually wound up as {{TCG|Item card}}s. The first of these cards was released in the {{TCG|Fossil}} expansion, befitting its theme. Their primary role is putting '''Fossil Pokémon''' into play, which normally cannot enter play without a Fossil card of some kind due to their unique mechanics. As such, Fossils are released in the expansions as the Pokémon that are revived from them.

When cards reference cards depicting Fossils, they use the phrase, "[[Item card (TCG)|Item card]] that has 'Fossil' in its name", or variations of that. Notably, this means such effects exclude [[Old Amber]] cards. However, it is more common for cards to check for exact card names than the phrase "Fossil".

Sometimes cards reference Fossil Pokémon in a similar manner, using phrases that refer to the cards that they evolve from. These include "Pokémon that evolve from an Item card that has "Fossil" in its name", "Pokémon that evolve from Unidentified Fossil", or "card that evolves from Mysterious Fossil", among others. The broadest of these, ones that only call out Fossils in general, exclude {{TCG|Aerodactyl}} that evolve from Old Amber cards. Still, cards more commonly check for the exact card name of Pokémon than for evolutionary lines like this.

{{TCG|Restored Pokémon}} is a special stage used for Fossil Pokémon in the Black & White Series and the XY Series, starting in {{TCG|Noble Victories}}. They have unique mechanics separate from the normal way Fossil Pokémon are depicted. However, this change was only implemented temporarily. The Sun & Moon Series reverted back to the normal way Fossil Pokémon are depicted, starting in {{TCG|Ultra Prism}} The period where Fossil Pokémon had the this stage was able to include Aerodactyl when referring to Fossil Pokémon broadly by checking for stage.

===Fossil Trainer card===
Most cards depicting Fossils are '''Fossil Trainer cards''', cards which start as Trainer/Item cards while not in play, but then are played as {{TCG|Basic Pokémon}}. The name has not changed since the introduction of the Item subtype. They are non-{{TCG|Pokémon}} cards printed with {{TCG|HP}} values, and use that HP value while in play. While in play, they have an {{TCG|Energy type}} of {{TCG|Colorless}}. They were introduced in the {{TCG|Fossil}} expansion. They are usually bad Pokémon though, as they do not have {{TCG|attack}}s and are unable to retreat (lacking a {{TCG|retreat cost}} entirely). Note that the lack of attacks does not preclude them being granted access to attacks, an uncommon but entirely possible occurrence due to {{TCG|Technical Machine card}}s. Additionally, since they are not Pokémon while not in play, cards that search for Pokémon from a {{TCG|deck}} cannot retrieve a Fossil Trainer card. Searches for Trainer or Item cards do work, but those effects are less common and weaker than Pokémon search.

The rules for if a Fossil Trainer card can be put into play while setting up to play has varied as the rules have changed overtime:
*The original Fossil FAQ allowed it, only for a subsequent rule to disallow it on the basis of the card being a Trainer while it is in a hand. <ref>[https://compendium.pokegym.net/compendium.html Compendium]</ref>
*In the EX Series starting from {{TCG|EX Sandstorm}}, this was changed to fully allow putting Fossil Trainer cards into play while setting up to play.<ref name="Compendium EX">[https://compendium.pokegym.net/compendium-ex.html Compendium EX]</ref>
*Starting with {{TCG|Ultra Prism}} in the Sun & Moon Series, this was fully repealed. There is no longer a window to play Fossil Trainer cards without them being a Trainer card. <ref>Ultra Prism rulebook</ref>

When players were allowed to do this, it was because the Fossil Trainer card functionally acted as a Basic Pokémon while setting up to play. This means that players were not allowed to take a mulligan when they had a hand that only has Fossil Trainer cards. Even with this in mind, Fossil Trainer cards are not "Basic Pokémon" and decks require a minimum of one Basic Pokémon in them to be legal for play. Also note that this allowance was never afforded to any of the other Trainer cards that are played as Pokémon.<ref name="Compendium EX"/>.

When this permission was allowed, there is an extra incongruity to remember exclusive to the Diamond and Pearl Series and the HeartGold & SoulSilver Series. In those rules, Trainer cards could not be played on the first turn of the player going first, including Fossil Trainer cards that were allowed to be put into play before the first turn of the game.<ref name="Compendium EX"/>

Fossil Trainer cards have some upsides. A player is allowed to discard a Fossil Trainer card from play at any time, which is not considered Knocking Out a Pokémon. Also, most but not all Fossil Trainer cards have an immunity to {{TCG|Special Condition}}s. Fossil Trainer Cards can have {{TCG|Poké-Body|Poké-Bodies}} or {{TCG|Ability|Abilties}} as well. Lacking a Retreat Cost also offers an interesting advantage, as a null Retreat Cost cannot be increased.<ref name="Compendium EX"/>

[[File:KabutoTeamUp77.jpg|200px|thumb|left|{{TCG ID|Team Up|Kabuto|77}}, a Fossil Pokémon that evolves from Unidentified Fossil. While it shows the art of a Unidentified Fossil from Sun & Moon, it can still evolve from the newer Sword & Shield printing. Remember, only the name matters.]]

Whether or not [[fainting|Knocking Out]] a Fossil Trainer card allows the opponent to take a {{TCG|Prize card}} varies by the card, with cards of the EX Series or older not providing Prize cards while cards of the Diamond and Pearl Series or newer providing Prize cards equivalent to normal Pokémon cards.

The primary purpose of a Fossil Trainer card is that they can [[evolve]] into Fossil Pokémon. Even the lowest form of a Fossil Pokémon's evolution chain is a {{TCG|Stage 1 Pokémon}}, so those cards have to enter play by evolving from a Fossil Trainer card. The Fossil Trainer card that a Fossil Pokémon evolves from varies by which set the Fossil Pokémon is in, as new Fossil Trainer cards are released in new expansions. In some cases, multiple different Evolution chains start from a singular Fossil Trainer card. In other cases, each evolution chain has a dedicated Fossil Trainer card, having the name of the Fossil the species is revived from.

The first Fossil Trainer card was {{TCG|Mysterious Fossil}}, which could be evolved into any of the three Generation I Fossil Pokémon: {{TCG|Omanyte}}, {{TCG|Kabuto}}, and {{TCG|Aerodactyl}}. It has only 10 HP, lower than even {{TCG|Magikarp}}. It does match the HP of {{TCG|Clefairy Doll}}, another Trainer card played as a Pokémon. This card continued to see printings into the EX Series, although {{TCG|EX Legend Maker}} increased the HP Mysterious Fossil has to 50. It does not allow opponents to take Prize cards when it is Knocked Out. It also has the customary immunity to Special Conditions.

[[File:ArmorFossilMysteriousTreasures116.jpg|200px|thumb|right|The {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Armor Fossil|116}}, an example of a Fossil Trainer card that only evolves into a specific species of Pokémon. It has a Poké-Body, which can prevent some of the damage it would take so that it is easier to evolve it.]]

The EX Series indroduced two new Fossil Pokémon, {{TCG|Lileep}} and {{TCG|Anorith}}. These species received dedicated Fossil Trainer cards for their line starting with the {{TCG|EX Sandstorm}} expansion: the {{TCG|Root Fossil}} and the {{TCG|Claw Fossil}}, respectively. These cards included beneficial Poké-Bodies, making these cards slightly stronger. They have 40 HP. Again, these cards do not allow opponents to take Prize cards when they are Knocked Out, and they cannot be affected by Special Conditions. This would herald the end of shared Fossil Trainer cards for a while, as the Diamond and Pearl Series followed this series lead and introduced more individual Fossil cards.

The Diamond & Pearl Series added the {{TCG|Skull Fossil|Skull}} and {{TCG|Armor Fossil|Armor}} Fossil cards, for the new species of {{TCG|Cranidos}} and {{TCG|Shieldon}}. It then went the extra mile and added individual {{TCG|Dome Fossil}}, {{TCG|Helix Fossil}}, and {{TCG|Old Amber}} cards for its printings of Kabuto, Omanyte, and Aerodactyl. All of these cards included included Poké-Bodies, and were printed with 50 HP. The Root and Claw Fossil cards were also reprinted, keeping their older 40 HP. However, starting with {{TCG|Mysterious Treasures}}, the expansion which added the Skull and Armor Fossils, Knocking Out a Fossil Trainer card is equivalent to Knocking Out a Pokémon. Thus opponent take a Prize card after doing so. This change even applied to the Root and Claw Fossil reprints, and continues to be true today. However, these cards still cannot be affected by Special Conditions.

[[File:RareFossilDarknessAblaze167.jpg|200px|thumb|left|The {{TCG ID|Darkness Ablaze|Rare Fossil|167}}, which existed concurrently with Unidentified Fossil. It shows the [[Fossilized Bird]], [[Fossilized Fish|Fish]], [[Fossilized Drake|Drake]], and [[Fossilized Dino|Dino]], the fossils related to the species it evolves into.]]

No Fossil Trainer cards would be printed for nine years, as their last printing was in {{TCG|Platinum: Arceus}}. Fossils and Fossil Pokémon skipped the HeartGold & SoulSilver series wholesale, and the Black & White Series and XY Series experimented with a different set of mechanics for putting Fossil Pokémon into play.

{{TCG|Ultra Prism}}, of the Sun & Moon Series, saw the return of a shared Trainer card which could evolve into any Fossil Pokémon released during the Sun & Moon Series. The card is {{TCG|Unidentified Fossil}}, and this card broke the long standing tradition of being unable to be affected by {{TCG|Special Condition}}s. It has 60 HP, indicating a gradual increase with each series. It was also printed in the Sword & Shield Series, primarily in later sets, continuing to evolve into most of the Fossil Pokémon that saw print. This included the Fossil Pokémon of Generations V and VI, {{TCG|Archen}}, {{TCG|Tirtouga}}, {{TCG|Tyrunt}}, and {{TCG|Amaura}} which previously did not evolve from Fossil Trainer cards. By this point, {{TCG|Pokémon Power}}s had been phased out in favor of Abilities. However, Unidentified Fossil does not have an Ability in lieu of the older Poké-Body.

Earlier in the Sword and Shield Series, {{TCG|Darkness Ablaze}} included {{TCG|Rare Fossil}}. This card exclusively evolves into the Generation VIII Fossil Pokémon: {{TCG|Dracozolt}}, {{TCG|Arctozolt}}, {{TCG|Dracovish}}, and {{TCG|Arctovish}}. Those Pokémon do not evolve from Unidentified Fossil. Rare Fossil does include the Special Condition immunity, and has 10 more HP compared to the concurrent Unidentified Fossil for a total of 70 HP

====Antique Fossils====
[[File:OldOldAmber156PokémonCard151.jpg|200px|thumb|right|The {{TCG ID|151|Antique Old Amber|154}} is one of the Antique Fossils. Note the name. "Antique Old Amber" does not say "Fossil" anywhere in it, so some cards do not recognize it as a Fossil. Also note that it specifically evolves into Aerodactyl and Aerodactyl ex, which is not how Fossil Trainer cards are normally templated]]
During the Scarlet & Violet Series, the {{TCG|151}} expansion introduced three brand new cards for the Generation I Fossil Pokémon, the {{TCG|Antique Helix Fossil}}, {{TCG|Antique Dome Fossil}}, and {{TCG|Antique Old Amber}}. They only evolve into the corresponding species, bringing back that set of rules after not appearing since Arceus. The rulebook for the set notes them as being '''Antique Fossils'''. Each of these cards has the word "Antique" before the name of the Fossil, differentiating them from the older cards. The word "Antique" is printed in smaller font then normal. These cards also have 60 HP. Once again, these cards have the Special Condition immunity, and also have a helpful {{TCG|Ability}} for the first time on a Fossil Trainer card. They have unique templating that specifies the exact Pokémon they evolve into, which cards normally do not have.

===Other cards depicting Fossils===
Some expansions have other cards that depict Fossils, but are not Fossil Trainer cards. These cards generally offer an alternative means of putting Fossil Pokémon into play.

[[File:BuriedFossilSkyridge47.jpg|200px|thumb|left|{{TCG ID|Skyridge|Buried Fossil|47}}, a Pokémon card, which is also a Fossil, but not a Fossil Trainer card. It has weird templating, but in short it is a Mysterious Fossil that is always a Pokémon]]

The first of these was {{TCG|Fossil Egg}} from {{TCG|Neo Discovery}}, which is a {{TCG|Trainer card}} that puts any card that evolves from Mysterious Fossil into play from either the deck or the hand, but only on a successful coin flip. {{TCG|Buried Fossil}} from {{TCG|Skyridge}} is a {{ct|Colorless}} Pokémon, one of very few Pokémon cards that does not depict a Pokémon species. It has unique templating that allows it to evolve into any card that evolves from Mysterious Fossil. Unlike the Fossil Trainer cards, it can retreat, and includes a helpful {{TCG|Poké-Power}}. It has 30 {{TCG|HP}}. It also keeps the immunity to Special Conditions from the Fossil Trainer cards, but cannot be freely discarded from play. Last in this odd group is {{TCG|Holon Fossil}} from {{TCG|EX Holon Phantoms}}. It is a Trainer card that updates Fossil Egg. It still uses a coin flip, but on Heads it puts a Fossil Pokémon from one's deck into play, and on Tails it puts a Fossil Pokémon from one's hand into play. The Fossil Pokémon it works with are specified by name, so it only includes the ones from Generation III and older.

[[File:CoverFossilNobleVictories90.jpg|200px|thumb|right|The {{TCG ID|Noble Victories|Cover Fossil|90}}, which is a fossil Item card but not a Fossil Trainer card. Its mechanics are used by other Fossils in the Black & White Series and the XY Series]]

The Black & White Series changed how Fossil Pokemon enter play, and therefore how Fossil cards work. The base species of Fossil Pokémon have a different {{TCG|stage}} than normal: {{TCG|Restored Pokémon}}. This stage is a non-Basic, unevolved Pokémon stage, so they are not Evolution cards. However, they still cannot be put into play from a player's hand. Instead, each Restored Pokémon has a matching fossil Item card, which is a card that depicts the fossil the species is restored from in the video games. These cards all have the same effect, looking at the bottom 7 cards of a deck. If a Pokémon card associated with the Fossil is one of those cards, that Pokémon can be into play. This is the primary way for Restored Pokémon to enter play. For example, {{TCG ID|Noble Victories|Archen|66}} can only be put into play via the effect of {{TCG|Plume Fossil}}, one of this group of Fossil cards. Notably, this group of cards only checks for a Pokémon's name, not its stage. This means that these cards can put older or newer non-Restored Pokémon into play as well.

[[File:TirtougaNobleVictories25.jpg|200px|thumb|left|{{TCG ID|Noble Victories|Tirtouga|25}}, a Fossil Pokémon with the stage Restored. It does not evolve from any card, and is put into play by using Cover Fossil]]

{{TCG|Noble Victories}} introduced this mechanic, along with the {{TCG|Cover Fossil|Cover}} and {{TCG|Plume Fossil|Plume}} Fossils for {{TCG|Tirtouga}} and {{TCG|Archen}}. The cards were reprinted in {{TCG|Plasma Blast}} along with the new {{TCG|Root Fossil Lileep}}. This card incorporates {{TCG|Lileep}} into the Restored Pokémon mechanics, using the name of the Pokémon as a suffix to avoid conflicting with the older Fossil Trainer card named {{TCG|Root Fossil}}. It also marked the first time one of the Fossil Pokémon was printed without the others that are part of the same Generation.

The XY Series continued to use Restored Pokémon and these Fossil mechanics, with the {{TCG|Jaw Fossil|Jaw}}, and {{TCG|Sail Fossil|Sail}} Fossil cards of {{TCG|Furious Fists}} working with {{TCG|Tyrunt}}, and {{TCG|Amaura}}. {{TCG|Fates Collide}} brought back the Generation I Fossil Pokémon, with {{TCG|Dome Fossil Kabuto}}, {{TCG|Helix Fossil Omanyte}}, and {{TCG|Old Amber Aerodactyl}} cards. Lastly, {{TCG|Steam Siege}} included a {{TCG|Claw Fossil Anorith}} to work with {{TCG|Anorith}} and an {{TCG|Armor Fossil Shieldon}} to do the same for {{TCG|Shieldon}}. No cards for the [[Skull Fossil]] were released to work with the Restored Pokémon mechanics, and the Sun & Moon Series returned to the traditional Fossil Trainer card mechanics.

Some cards have Fossils in their art, especially ones that are related to cards depicting Fossils, Fossil Trainer cards, or Fossil Pokémon.

The following is a list of these Fossil cards, excluding the ones tied to {{TCG|Restored Pokémon}}. Those are found on the articles of the Fossils they depict, as well as on the {{TCG|Restored Pokémon}} article. Cameos of Fossils are also excluded.

==Trivia==
* The Fossil Pokémon introduced in [[Generation I]] are the only {{type|Rock}} Pokémon introduced in said generation to not also have the {{t|Ground}} [[type]].
* The Fossil Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VIII]] are the only ones that are not Rock-type, the only ones that are [[gender unknown]], and the only ones that are in the {{egg|No Eggs Discovered}} [[Egg Group]].
* Some Fossil Pokémon have unique attributes:
** {{p|Cranidos}} and {{p|Rampardos}} are the only ones to not be dual-type.
** {{p|Tirtouga}} and {{p|Carracosta}} are the only ones to have Rock as their secondary type.
** {{p|Archen}} and {{p|Archeops}} are the only ones without a [[Hidden Ability]].
** {{p|Aerodactyl}} is the only one capable of undergoing [[Mega Evolution]].
* All Fossil Pokémon are capable of learning the [[move]] {{m|Ancient Power}} by [[level]]ing up.
* Although the [[Fossilized Fish]] offers the "-vish" head for {{p|Dracovish}} and {{p|Arctovish}}, the item itself looks more like the "Draco-" body, while the [[Fossilized Drake]] looks like the "-vish" head but instead offers the "Draco-" body for {{p|Dracozolt}} and Dracovish.
* {{p|Relicanth}} has some similarities to Fossil Pokémon, being an ancient Rock-type Pokémon that is often considered a {{wp|living fossil}}, as it has survived extinction for a hundred million years. Since [[Generation II]], various Pokédex entries for {{p|Kabuto}} have suggested that it too may be a living fossil. However, since Relicanth is never revived from a Fossil, it is not included in the Fossil Pokémon group.
* While it cannot be revived from a Fossil, the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Genesect}} is known to have been created by [[Team Plasma]] by reviving a prehistoric Pokémon and upgrading it by attaching a cannon to its back.
** Similarly, in ''[[M01|Pokémon: The First Movie]]'', [[M22|its remake]], and [[Pokémon Adventures]], the Mythical Pokémon {{p|Mew}} had a fossilized eyebrow from which its genetic material was used by [[Team Rocket]] to create {{p|Mewtwo}}. Mew's introduction to the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] in the Japanese version of the {{TCG|Fossil}} Expansion may be a reference to this. However, in the games, no mention of this fossil is made, and the journal entries in the [[Pokémon Mansion]] on [[Cinnabar Island]] suggest that a living Mew was captured and "gave birth" to the clone Mewtwo.
* Fossil Pokémon are featured in a Japan-only nationwide traveling exhibition, [[Pokémon Fossil Museum]]. Visitors can learn about the real-life prehistoric animals that inspired the designs of Fossil Pokémon and compare them, and view conceptual artwork depicting the skeletal anatomy of certain Fossil Pokémon, as well as real life replicas of said skeletons.<ref>Official Pokémon Fossil Museum site [https://www.kahaku.go.jp/pokemon/index_en.html (English)], [https://www.kahaku.go.jp/pokemon/ (Japanese)]</ref>
* Oddly, the rulebook for {{TCG|151}} has an appendix section for the "Antique Fossils", which is not included in the rulebooks for later sets.

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

It is:
* [[TM50]] in Generation I.
* [[TM90]] from [[Generation IV]] to {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} and in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}.
* [[TM08]] in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]].
* [[TR20]] in {{g|Sword and Shield}}.
* [[TM103]] in [[Generation IX]].

It was {{p|Mr. Mime}}'s [[signature move]] in [[Generation II]].

==Effect==
{{main|Substitute (doll)#Effect|Substitute doll → Effect}}
By giving up 25% of its maximum HP (rounded down), the user creates a {{OBP|substitute|doll}}. The substitute's HP is equal to the amount lost to create it (except in Generation I, where it is 1 HP higher). The move fails if the user already has a substitute.

A substitute doll takes any damage the user would take instead, until it breaks. While a Pokémon has a substitute, it is not affected by many [[status move]]s used by other Pokémon, and the [[additional effect]]s of other Pokémon's damaging moves often fail to affect it.

{{m|Snatch}} will steal the effect of Substitute when it is used.

===Generation I===
The created substitute's HP is 1 greater than the amount of HP lost by the user.

In the handheld Generation I games, if the user has exactly 25% of its maximum HP, it will create a substitute and immediately faint. In Pokémon Stadium, Substitute fails if the user has exactly 25% of its maximum HP.

===Generation II onward===
The created substitute's HP is equal to the HP lost when using Substitute.

Substitute fails if the user does not have more than 25% of its maximum HP left (i.e. making a substitute would otherwise cause it to [[faint]]). Consequently, Substitute will always fail if used by {{p|Shedinja}} (who only has 1 HP).

If powered up by a [[Normalium Z]] into Z-Substitute, all of the user's lowered stats are reset.

In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Rescue Team]], [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|Adventure Squad]] series, Substitute targets the Pokémon in front of them, ally or enemy, and inflicts the {{DL|Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)|Decoy}} status condition on them. The Pokémon with this status will be preferentially attacked by allies and enemies. The status lasts for 21-50 turns. This move is affected by {{m|Snatch}}.

From [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Gates to Infinity]], Substitute instead causes the {{DL|Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)|Substitute}} status by cutting the user's HP in half. The user will not be targeted by enemies, but the user cannot use moves or items, and cannot restore its HP naturally. If the user is attacked by a move (such as {{m|Earthquake}} which affects the whole room), Substitute will not protect the user from damage. The status lasts 11 turns.

===[[Super Smash Bros.]] series===
{{sbw|Substitute}} is {{SSB|Greninja}}'s down special. The [[Substitute (doll)|substitute doll]] it summons resembles those from the core series games, though it can also summon a log. The move functions as a counter, attacking opponents who hit Greninja while it is posing.

There is a trophy of the substitute doll in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]].

====Trophy information====
''If it looks like a Pokémon and it gets attacked like a Pokémon, it's probably a- Oh, no, it could also be a Substitute Doll. This cute plush figure appears out of nowhere when a Pokémon uses the move Substitute. Is that a smile on its face or a grimace of determination? Only the doll knows, and it's not telling.''

===[[Pokkén Tournament]]===
Substitute is the move used by {{p|Whimsicott}} when called as a Support Pokémon. It conjures up a set of three substitute dolls that rotate around the Battle Pokémon, blocking incoming projectile attacks.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20201129160613/http://wiki.shoryuken.com/Pokken_Tournament_DX/Projectile_Priority#Field_Phase_Whimsicott_Nullifications Pokken Tournament DX/Projectile Priority | Shoryuken Wiki!], archived November 29, 2020 on Internet Archive</ref> It also restores a little of the Battle Pokémon's HP.

==={{g|UNITE}}===
In Pokémon UNITE, Substitute is {{p|Greninja}}'s second move as {{p|Froakie}}. The user dashes while leaving behind a targetable decoy. The user is unstoppable while dashing. After evolving into {{p|Frogadier}} at level 5, this move is replaced by either {{m|Double Team}} or {{m|Smokescreen}}.

[[Substitute (doll)|Substitute Dolls]] appear on their own as part of the Practice Area mode.

==Trivia==
* {{p|Shedinja}} can learn Substitute despite being incapable of using it, as its HP is too low to create a {{OBP|substitute|doll}}.
** However, in the Mystery Dungeon series, it is able to use the move, due to being able to possess more than 1 HP.
* This move plays its animation even if the battle animations are turned off.
* In [[Generation I]] games, if the [[List of glitches in Generation I#Substitute and Minimize glitch|player used Substitute]], then looked at the stats of a Pokémon in their party and then exited the menu, the opponent's Pokémon sprite would change to a glitchy version of the Pokémon that was just viewed.
* In [[Generation VII]], Substitute is the only TM that can be learned by all Pokémon that can learn TMs, except Pokémon that can only learn moves via TM that they can also learn by other means.

'''Bulbasaur's Bad Day''' is the fourth book in the "[[Pokémon Junior]]" series. It takes place in the [[Orange Islands]]. It was written by [[Bill Michaels]] and was published by [[Scholastic]]. It is 47 pages long.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The story begins in [[Celadon City]] with {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{Tracey}} along with their Pokémon {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{TP|Tracey|Marill}}, {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} and {{AP|Squirtle}} who are stuck inside a Trainers' Hostel due to the rain. Bulbasaur is grumpy because of the bad weather. Eventually the rain stops and the Pokémon wonder if their Trainers will take them outside. Ash tells the Pokémon that his [[Pokédex]] is broken, and that he must see [[Professor Oak]] so that he can fix it. He tells the Pokémon it would be safer if they stayed in the Hostel, however Misty brings her Togepi with her.

The Trainers had allowed their Pokémon to visit the [[Celadon Gym]] that night. The Pokémon joke with each other on their way to the Gym. Once inside, they watch a Pokémon battle between {{p|Articuno}} and {{p|Butterfree}}. Butterfree won the match by using its {{m|Sleep Powder}} attack. A {{p|Psyduck}} approaches the group, and tells them a joke. The Pokémon cannot stop laughing, except for Squirtle, who doesn't understand it. They say goodbye to Psyduck and leave the Gym. On the way back, Pikachu explains the joke to Squirtle. Bulbasaur suggests that the group take a shortcut back to the Hostel through the forest. Reluctantly the other Pokémon agree.

Once in the forest, Marill points out a {{p|Weedle}} munching on some leaves. As the other Pokémon watch, Bulbasaur continues walking ahead. The other Pokémon rush to catch up. Bulbasaur has a moment of indecision before choosing a path to follow and then walks straight into a pit. After the other Pokémon have checked that Bulbasaur is okay, a storm begins to brew. After a while, rain begins to pour. Bulbasaur admits it won't be able to get out of the pit on its own. Squirtle tries to slow down the rain with its {{m|Bubble}} attack, but to no avail and then goes back to the Hostel to call for help.

After it had left, {{MTR}} steps forward from the forest. Meowth mocks Bulbasaur, and the other Pokémon conclude that he is responsible for the pit. {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{p|Gastly}} appear and continue to mock Bulbasaur. Bulbasaur attacks Team Rocket's Pokémon with its {{m|Leech Seed}}. Arbok counters with a {{m|Poison Sting}} attack and Gastly used its {{m|Night Shade}}. Pikachu tried to use its {{m|ThunderShock}} attack, but it failed because it was raining too hard. The pit begins to fill up with water and Squirtle returns, along with {{AP|Charizard}}. Charizard uses its {{m|Rage}}, {{m|Growl}} and {{m|Flamethrower}} attacks, Bulbasaur uses its {{m|Razor Leaf}}, and Pikachu uses a {{m|Thunder Wave}}. Gastly, Arbok and Meowth run away into the forest. The water is now up to Bulbasaur's neck. Squirtle, Pikachu and Marill worked together to come up with a plan.

The Pokémon wait for a lightning bolt to strikes. When one does, Pikachu uses its ThunderShock and {{m|Agility}} to guide the lightning bolt into a tree. This causes the tree to fall into the pit, forming a ramp for Bulbasaur. A group of {{p|Mankey}}, who were in the tree that fell down, help to bring Bulbasaur to safety. The other Pokémon were happy to see their friend was safe. The Mankey run back into the forest after Pikachu and its friends thank them. Bulbasaur apologizes for leading the other Pokémon into danger. The other Pokémon forgive it, and the group heads out of the forest and back to the Hostel. The Trainers return the next morning and are glad to see their Pokémon again.

===Blurb===
'''Can Bulbasaur escape Team Rocket's trap?'''
''Some days are just plain bad. Others are the pits. Just ask Bulbasaur. The Grass Pokémon falls into a big pit- one of Team Rocket's traps. None of Bulbasaur's battle techniques can help. And now Meowth is on the attack! Can Bulbasaur defend itself from Team Rocket- alone?''

==Trivia==
* This is one of two Pokémon Junior books to not be based on an animated series episode. The other one is [[Save Our Squirtle!]].
** Likely because it isn't based on an episode, [[James]] is shown to have a {{p|Gastly}}, a Pokémon he has never had in the animated series.
* The Trainers stay at a Trainer's Hostel, rather than at a [[Pokémon Center]].
* Butterfree and Articuno were the only Pokémon battling in the Gym, however, neither of them are {{t|Grass}} types.
* This is the first animated series-related work to depict a [[Legendary Pokémon]] being used in an official [[Gym]] battle.
* Butterfree won the Pokémon battle against Articuno by using {{m|Sleep Powder}}. However, this only put Articuno to sleep and did not knock it out. This has been used in the animated series before; for example, in ''[[EP079|Friend and Foe Alike]]''.
* [[Ash's Charizard]] uses {{m|Growl}}, a move that it does not know in the animated series. Additionally, [[Ash's Pikachu]] uses {{m|Thunder Wave}}, a move that it also does not know in the animated series.

===Errors===
* On page 34, one of the sentences is missing the word "the".
* The plural of {{p|Mankey}} is written as "Mankeys".

'''Ninja Village''' (Japanese: '''忍者村''' ''Ninja Village'') is an {{pkmn|animated series}}-exclusive location in [[Kalos]] that was featured in ''[[XY099|The Legend of the Ninja Hero!]]''. It is the [[hometown]] of [[Sanpei]] and his two brothers, [[Ippei]], who is the current chief, and [[Nihei]]. It is located between [[Anistar City]] and [[Couriway Town]].

The village was first mentioned by Sanpei in ''[[XY017|A Rush of Ninja Wisdom!]]''. He had left his hometown to become a stronger Trainer like his older brothers prior, with his {{p|Froakie}} who eventually evolved into a {{TP|Sanpei|Greninja}}.

Though {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} finally visited Ninja Village in ''[[XY099|The Legend of the Ninja Hero!]]''. During their visit, the village was attacked by an old member of the Ninja Village, [[Kagetomo]], who went onto to establish the rival Ninja Corps with [[Heidayu]] to seize the village for himself. In the past, Kagetomo was destined to become the village chief, however his desire to rule the world led chief {{kal|Hanzo}} to reconsider the decision, and instead favor Ippei who was equally powerful, but respected Ninja Village traditions.

Using an army of {{p|Skarmory}}, Kagetomo's forces overwhelmed the village and held Hanzo hostage in the hopes of forcibly acquiring the chieftain position. Ippei led the defense efforts, with Ash's group, his two brothers, villagers including [[Saizo]] and [[Shinobu]]. In ''[[XY100|A Festival of Decisions!]]'', [[Ash's Frogadier]] evolved into a {{p|Greninja}} and activated his special ability to turn into {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Greninja|Ash-Greninja}}. Ippei later defeated Kagetomo, who decided to leave Ninja Village in order to train harder, and focus his attention on exploring the true meaning of a ninja's life. The planned village festival went ahead, with Hanzo officially retiring and passing the chieftain onto Ippei, awarding him the sacred chief emblem.

Ninja Village is an isolated settlement, nestled within a {{wp|caldera}}, making it inconspicuous and perfectly defended from outside forces. Its people all train as ninjas to become close to their Pokémon and protect the world. The main entrance in and out of Ninja Village is through a hidden tunnel, where a secret password is needed to even enter. The villagers all reside within the walls of the mountain, which are riddled with corridors and defensive traps in case of attack. The village has a rich history and was once the site of ninja conflict. A shrine records the event, where a [[Bond Phenomenon|special Greninja]] along with its allies {{p|Staraptor}} and {{p|Heatmor}} are honored as heroes after they saved the village from destruction.

Ippei later defeated Kagetomo, who decided to leave Ninja Village in order to train harder, and focus his attention on exploring the true meaning of a ninja's life. The planned village festival went ahead, with Hanzo officially retiring and passing the chieftain onto Ippei, awarding him the sacred chief emblem.

Ninja Village is an isolated settlement, nestled within a {{wp|caldera}}, making it inconspicuous and perfectly defended from outside forces. Its people all train as ninjas to become close to their Pokémon and protect the world. The main entrance in and out of Ninja Village is through a hidden tunnel, where a secret password is needed to even enter. The villagers all reside within the walls of the mountain, which are riddled with corridors and defensive traps in case of attack. The village has a rich history and was once the site of ninja conflict. A shrine records the event, where a [[Bond Phenomenon|special Greninja]] along with its allies {{p|Staraptor}} and {{p|Heatmor}} are honored as heroes after they saved the village from destruction.

Totem Pokémon

2024-09-21T16:56:26Z

Rockapheller: /* Poni Island */

[[File:SM Prerelease SOS Battle.png|thumb|300px|Totem {{p|Gumshoos}} with a {{p|Yungoos}} ally]]
'''Totem Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''ぬしポケモン''' ''Leader Pokémon'') are a type of [[variant Pokémon]] that are battled at the end of every [[island challenge|trial]]. In the [[core series]], most Totem Pokémon have been {{pkmn|training|trained}} by their respective [[Trial Captain|Captain]], providing them their role. Trial-goers are expected to prove their strength to these powerful Pokémon and those who win are considered to have completed the trial and are rewarded with a [[Z-Crystal]].

There is currently twelve known Totem Pokémon. These Pokémon (with exception of Totem {{p|Wishiwashi}}) appear {{pkmn2|giant|larger}} than normal, and weigh approximately two to four times as much as other Pokémon of the same [[Pokémon (species)|species]]. The eleven with changed [[height]] and [[weight]] can be obtained as Totem-sized Pokémon from [[Samson Oak]] at [[Heahea Beach]].

==In the core series games==
[[File:USUM Prerelease Totem Marowak.png|thumb|250px|Totem {{p|Marowak}}'s aura]]
At the start of a battle, Totem Pokémon are enveloped in a special aura which boosts one or more of its [[statistic|stats]] by a fixed number of [[Statistic#Stat modifiers|stages]], this is the same energy used in [[Z-Move]]s, [[Z-Power]]. According to [[Wicke]], their size and aura are a result of being bathed in the energy spilled from [[Ultra Wormhole]]s, the same kind that the [[Ultra Beast]]s use to store within their bodies, giving them a similar stat boost. This energy is further revealed in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} to be {{ga|Necrozma}}'s light. Their size and [[weight]] mechanically affect their battles and are not only visual aesthetic, moves such as {{m|Grass Knot}} and {{m|Heavy Slam}} are affected by these weights and {{m|Sky Drop}} will fail against Totem {{p|Araquanid}} and {{p|Kommo-o}}. Totem Pokémon are battled in [[SOS Battle]]s, which allows them to summon an ally to help.

SOS Battles with Totem Pokémon differ from regular SOS Battles in that their supply of allies may be limited, which allies they call is not influenced by the [[weather]], and they call allies at specific times rather than at random (so their calls are unaffected by the [[Adrenaline Orb]] and [[status condition]]s). Both the Totem Pokémon and their allies have more advanced {{wp|Artificial intelligence (video games)|artificial intelligence}} than [[wild Pokémon]], mirroring Trainer behavior. Totem Pokémon each also hold a specific [[item]], usually one that will synergize effectively with their particular strategies or cover their weaknesses. Due to the island challenge rules, Totem Pokémon and their allies cannot be {{pkmn2|caught}}. Like all wild Pokémon, if the player steals an item from a Totem Pokémon (such as by using {{m|Thief}}), the player's Pokémon will still be holding the stolen item at the end of battle.

The {{pkmn|battle}} theme for the Totem Pokémon is a remix of the [[wild Pokémon]] battle theme from the original Sun and Moon games. Totem Pokémon and Totem-sized Pokémon are not registered in the [[Pokédex]] as unique forms, despite behaving as such.

Totem {{p|Kommo-o}} is the only Totem Pokémon to not be accompanied by a [[Trial Captain]].

===List of Totem Pokémon===
====Melemele Island ====
[[Melemele Island]] has one Totem Pokémon who is governed by by the Captain [[Ilima]] at [[Verdant Cavern]]. The Pokémon here changes based on the game being played, in Sun and Ultra Sun, a {{p|Gumshoos}} will appear as the Totem, while in Moon and Ultra Moon, it is an {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Raticate}}. The Totem Gumshoos and Raticate in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are the only Totem Pokémon that can be battled during the post-game and the only ones that can be rematched.

====Akala Island====
[[Akala Island]] has three Totem Pokémon who were trained under the Captains of [[Lana]], [[Kiawe]] and [[Mallow]] respectively. In Sun and Moon, Lana and Kiawe have trained a Totem {{p|Wishiwashi}} and {{p|Salazzle}}, while in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon they have trained a {{p|Araquanid}} and {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Marowak}} instead. Mallow's {{p|Lurantis}} remains in all four versions. Totem Wishiwashi is the only Totem Pokémon without a change in weight or height, taking advantage of its unique [[form change]] that is controlled by its {{a|Schooling}} ability.

=== Totem-sized Pokémon===
Totem-sized Pokémon are obtainable variants of the Totem Pokémon found at trial sites. Acting as near replicas the actual Totem Pokémon, they too are larger in height and weight compared to their original species counterparts, affecting the mechanics of some moves (such as {{m|Low Kick}} and {{m|Sky Drop}}). Totem-sized Pokémon can be only obtained in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, where they can be received from [[Samson Oak]] at [[Heahea Beach]] after meeting him for the first time at {{rt|2|Alola}} depending on the number of [[Totem Sticker]]s the player has obtained. The Pokémon obtained are often [[version exclusive]] based on either Ultra Sun or Ultra Moon.

Totem-sized Pokémon are {{Shiny}}-locked, and their sizes cannot be passed down through [[Pokémon breeding]]. Even if their species normally have multiple {{Abilities}}, Totem-sized Pokémon can only have a particular Ability, as listed below. The Ability is the species' Hidden Ability if the species has two standard Abilities, and the species' sole standard Ability otherwise; thus Totem-sized Pokémon's Ability cannot be changed by [[Ability Capsule]]. Some Totem-sized Pokémon have different abilities than what their trial site counterparts may have. Totem-sized Pokémon always have at least three perfect [[individual values|IVs]].

Totem-sized Pokémon that are based on Totem Pokémon in {{g|Sun and Moon}} are the only ones that can be [[trade]]d to the original Sun and Moon games and deposited in [[Pokémon Bank]]. Totem-sized Pokémon based on Totem Pokémon that only appear in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon cannot be deposited in Pokémon Bank or traded to the original Sun and Moon games.

Totem-sized Pokémon that are [[transfer]]red to [[Pokémon HOME]] are turned into their normal-sized forms.

{{MissingInfo|1|java}}


While most of the Totem Pokémon from the {{pkmn|anime}} are based on those from the games, Totem {{p|Trevenant}} is the only anime-original Totem Pokémon and the only depicted Totem Pokémon that is neither a [[Generation VII]] Pokémon nor a [[regional form]]. In addition, not every Totem Pokémon was adapted, even from the original games. Unlike the games, Ally Pokémon have had at least one instance of being caught in the case of
[[Officer Jenny's Gumshoos]].

A Totem {{p|Lucario}} appeared in ''[[HOR04|Mastering the Z-Move!]]''.

== Trivia==
*In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], in the battle against Totem {{p|Wishiwashi}} at [[Brooklet Hill]], the Totem Pokémon can summon an [[SOS Battle|Ally]] {{p|Alomomola}} which knows {{m|Water Gun}}, but Alomomola [[Game move errors|cannot legitimately have the move]] in any of the games.
*In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Moon}} and {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Moon}}, during the cutscene before Totem Raticate's battle, it cries out Gumshoos's [[cry]] instead of its own cry.
*Compared to their non-Totem counterparts, every Totem Pokémon's weight is increased less than appropriately to its height. If a Pokémon's density were to remain the same between its Totem and non-Totem variants, a Totem Pokémon twice the height should be eight times the weight.
*In all languages of the games except English and Chinese, the same terms are used to refer to both Totem Pokémon and [[Titan Pokémon]].
**The Japanese term for Titan Pokémon (Japanese: '''ヌシポケモン''' ''Leader Pokémon'') is fully written in katakana, distinguishing it from Totem Pokémon (Japanese: '''ぬしポケモン''' ''Leader Pokémon''), but the two terms are otherwise identical, being pronounced the same and having the same meaning.

2024-09-09T13:01:11Z

Rockapheller: /* Trivia */

{{samename|sandwich ingredient|Egg (item)}} ''For the [[curry]] ingredient, see [[Boiled Egg]].''
:''For the Egg-related [[glitch]]es, see [[Glitch Egg]] and [[Bad Egg]].''
[[File:SugimoriEggs.png|right|thumb|235px|Eggs of {{p|Togepi}} and {{p|Elekid}}]]
[[File:Hatching Egg V.png|frame|right|A {{p|Larvesta}} hatching from its Egg]]
A '''Pokémon Egg''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンのタマゴ''' ''Pokémon Egg'') is an object from which most {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are known to hatch. Pokémon Eggs have appeared in all [[core series]] games where Pokémon breeding has been available, and were a major plot point in [[Generation II]], in which they were introduced. They have also appeared in several spin-off games.

In some anime and manga appearances, an Egg's shell will have a pattern that reflects the appearance of the Pokémon inside.

==In the core series games==
Pokémon Eggs are produced by {{pkmn|breeding}} two Pokémon of a compatible [[Egg Group]] and opposite gender together and will contain, by default, the lowest species in the evolutionary line of the mother. According to a girl in [[Solaceon Town]], where one of many [[Pokémon Day Care]]s are located, no one has ever seen a Pokémon lay an Egg, and thus, it is not confirmed that this is how they appear. According to Professor Elm, as quoted by a man in [[Hearthome City]], and a {{tc|Monsieur}} in [[Coumarine City]], Eggs are not actually eggs and are more like "cradles".

Some Pokémon, known as [[baby Pokémon]], are also found by hatching them from an Egg created by their evolved forms, either naturally or through use of a held [[incense]]. Unlike other species {{egg|No Eggs Discovered|which cannot breed}}, baby Pokémon evolve into species which can do so. In the games, [[Legendary Pokémon]] cannot breed in captivity, and only two [[Mythical Pokémon]]—{{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Phione}}—are capable of breeding, both producing Phione Eggs when bred with {{p|Ditto}}.

===Mechanics===
[[File:Egg Gen II.png|frame|right|An Egg's status screen in [[Generation II]]]]
The amount of time left until a Pokémon hatches from its Egg is determined by the number of [[Egg cycles]] (which are measured in steps) that the player walks when it is in the party (including movement on a [[Bicycle]] or while {{m|Surf}}ing). In-game [[time]] has no direct bearing on Egg hatching.

Eggs utilize the same memory allocation as Pokémon, so the coding structure is very similar. What would be the [[friendship]] value in a Pokémon is the [[Egg cycle]] count for an Egg. Unlike friendship, this value counts down at the end of every Egg cycle.

From Generation V to VIII, an Egg will hatch when its Egg cycle count reaches zero. If multiple Eggs become ready to hatch at the same time, the first Egg in the party will hatch first while each subsequent Egg will hatch with each subsequent step. In [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]], each subsequent eggs will hatch back to back (due to the textbox with the "Oh?" message immediately apperaing when brought back in the overworld after hatching an egg) instead.

In Generations III, IV and [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], an Egg will only hatch if its Egg cycle count is zero before an Egg cycle ends (meaning that an extra Egg cycle must be walked). Only one Egg can hatch per Egg cycle, since Eggs are processed in order and if one hatches, any remaining Eggs are not touched.

Generation II is like Generations III and IV except that an Egg will hatch when its Egg cycle count reaches zero.

In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, an Egg will not hatch when climbing, gliding or flying with [[Koraidon]] or [[Miraidon]].

The number of Egg cycles that an Egg has left determines the text that is shown on its status screen.

====Generation II====
[[File:Gold Silver Beta Egg.png|thumb|A [[Pokémon Gold and Silver beta|pre-release image]] of an Egg hatching in Pokémon Gold and Silver]]
Generation II introduced the system of Egg creation and hatching that would continue, much unaltered, to the present. The first Pokémon Egg obtainable by the {{player}} in the series was a [[Key Item]] given by [[Mr. Pokémon]] in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}. The [[Mystery Egg]] is to be delivered to [[Professor Elm]] in [[New Bark Town]]; he will then study it and have one of his aides return it to the player in the [[Violet City]] [[Pokémon Center]].

Elm's studies show that when a Pokémon Egg is carried with a {{pkmn|Trainer}} with a [[party]] of lively Pokémon, it will eventually hatch. This is easily proven, as some time after the Egg is given, if it is kept in the party, it will hatch into a {{p|Togepi}}.

The player reaching the Daycare on {{rt|34|Johto}} marks where the game mechanics of breeding are truly introduced. Though unrevealed in the games (and only ever truly shown by {{g|Stadium 2}} and [[Pokédex 3D]]), Pokémon belong to one or two of fifteen [[Egg Group]]s, and those which share an Egg Group and are of opposite gender are capable of breeding. Pokémon without gender can be bred with a {{p|Ditto}}, as can any other Pokémon not in the {{egg2|No Eggs Discovered}}. Pokémon in the No Eggs Discovered Group will not breed with any Pokémon or produce any Eggs.

Pokémon that hatch from an Egg will come out at level 5, having whatever moves their species can learn by that level, any move both parents know that the hatched Pokémon can learn through level-up, any [[TM]] or [[HM]] moves they are compatible with that were known by their father, and any [[Egg Move]]s their father passed down. The father's moves take priority over the moves the species would usually have at that level.

These are the only games in which an Egg's status screen differs considerably from that of a normal Pokémon, as all later games use either a modified version of the Pokémon status screen of that game (as is the case in Generation III), or the same status screen, minus some pages (as is the case in Generation IV, V, and VII).

====Generation III====
Generation III retained much of the system introduced in Generation II, with only one major change: [[incense]]s are introduced that, if held by the appropriate Pokémon, will cause them to produce Eggs that hatch into new baby Pokémon (who were introduced in this generation). There are incenses for {{p|Marill}}'s and {{p|Wobbuffet}}'s evolutionary lines, which allow them to produce Eggs that hatch into {{p|Azurill}} and {{p|Wynaut}} respectively. Presumably, these incenses are meant to keep the results of breeding consistent across generations while still allowing earlier evolutions to be introduced.

All other mechanics present in Generation II are present in Generation III, including the system for hatching Eggs, except that Eggs require an extra Egg cycle to hatch. Egg Groups now have more members, but the groups themselves number the same as in Generation II, and no Pokémon have changed groups.

In {{game|Emerald}}, several more mechanics were added. A Pokémon's [[Nature]] could be influenced if its mother held an [[Everstone]] while in the Day Care, while Pokémon with {{a|Magma Armor}} or {{a|Flame Body}} shorten the hatching process if they are in the party with Eggs.

In Generation III, a Pokémon Egg's type is listed as {{t|???}}.

No Eggs can be obtained from or traded to [[Pokémon Colosseum]] or {{XD}}.

====Generation IV====
{{incomplete|section|needs=Manaphy Egg in Ranch}}
Generation IV expanded on the mechanics found in Emerald, making them standard to the series, as well as added more baby Pokémon only obtainable through [[incense]] breeding. A new mechanic is that either parent can now pass down its nature to its offspring if it holds an Everstone. In addition to this, Pokémon Eggs now hatch at level 1. This would have been possible in Generation III as well, but was not in Generation II due to a glitch in the programming that caused level 1 "[[Experience#Experience to level|Medium Slow]]" Pokémon to jump to level 100 instantly when leveled up.

A minor change in mechanics from Generation III causes Eggs to hatch slightly earlier, with the length of an Egg cycle dropping from 256 to 255 steps. The Manaphy Egg obtainable from Ranger games has its own sprite that is different from other, normal Eggs' sprites.

Trainers can use the Pokétch {{DL|Pokétch|Day-Care Checker}} app to check whether or not an Egg has been produced, unlike in previous generations, where Trainers attempting to breed two Pokémon would need to stay near the Day Care if they wished to get an Egg as soon as it was ready.

Eggs may also be transferred to [[My Pokémon Ranch]], but they will not hatch as long as they are kept in the game. When the ranch reaches the maximum level (level 25, requiring 999 Pokémon to be present in the ranch), [[Hayley]] will offer to trade any Pokémon Egg for her Mew.

In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, Eggs can be given a spa treatment at the [[Ribbon Syndicate]] building. This will cause the Egg to have an increased [[friendship]] upon hatching. However, Eggs cannot be given massages; if attempted, the [[Massage Girl]] will exclaim, "That's silly! I'd break that Egg if I tried to massage it!"

=====Special dates =====
In the [[Generation IV]] games, [[Egg cycle]]s are reduced from 255 steps to 230 steps on certain days. For example, on a reduced-cycle day, a {{p|Magikarp}} will take 1380 steps to hatch instead of 1530 steps.

====Generation V====
Building on the mechanics introduced in HeartGold and SoulSilver, Generation V makes it possible for female Pokémon with a Hidden Ability to pass on their Hidden Ability to their offspring, unless the father is a Ditto. The Manaphy Egg is found [[List of Pokémon by index number in Generation V|in the coding of Black and White]], but was not used.

A significant change to the mechanics of [[Egg cycle]]s in Generation IV causes Eggs to hatch at earlier times; Eggs now hatch when their Egg cycle count drops from 1 to 0, rather than when it is 0 at the end of an Egg cycle, effectively reducing the number of Egg cycles that need to be walked by 1. The length of an Egg cycle was also increased from 255 to 257 steps, but this effect is overshadowed by the change in the hatching trigger.

==== Generation VI====
Again expanding on mechanics from previous games, Generation VI builds upon the mechanics from Generation V by allowing mothers to pass on [[Egg Move]]s and [[Poké Ball]]s, removing the ability to pass on [[TM]]s and [[HM]]s from the father, and allowing any Pokémon to pass down Hidden Abilities when bred with Ditto. Another new mechanic is the ability for the parents to pass down five IVs if one of them holds a [[Destiny Knot]].

====Generation VII====
Again expanding on mechanics from previous games, Generation VII builds upon the mechanics from Generation VI by allowing fathers to pass on [[Poké Ball]]s when bred with Ditto and randomizing which Poké Ball is passed down when two Pokémon of the same species breed and they are in different balls.

====Generation VIII====
Again expanding on mechanics from previous games, Generation VIII builds upon the mechanics from Generation VII by allowing two Pokémon to pass Egg Moves to each other if one knows the move and the other has an open move slot for it.

====Generation IX====
In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Eggs can be found during [[Picnic]]s. Species that produced different baby Pokémon if holding an incense now produce these baby Pokémon naturally. No longer necessary, incenses have been removed from the game.

In some cases that the game may crash, {{Shiny}} Pokémon that are hatched from the Eggs can appear again, but only if the game was saved before the Egg is hatched and it is in the {{player}}'s [[party]].

===Eggs received from in-game events ===
{{main|List of Pokémon Eggs from in-game events}}

In several [[core series]] games,the player is able to obtain Pokémon Eggs from certain [[non-player character]]s.

In the [[Generation I]] games, their [[Generation VII]] remakes, and in {{pkmn|Legends: Arceus}}, there are no Pokémon Eggs due to the absence of the {{pkmn|breeding}} mechanic. In [[Pokémon X and Y|Pokémon X, Y]], [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Sword, and Shield]], the breeding mechanic is available but no Eggs are received from in-game events.

Some Eggs can also be received in [[Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire]] and transferred to the [[Generation III]] games.

==In the side series games==
===Pokémon Stadium 2===
[[File:Stadium 2 Egg.png|frame|Egg]]
{{incomplete|section|Add image of a Shiny Egg in comparison to non-Shiny Eggs in the Pokémon Lab from Pokémon Stadium 2}}

In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], "EGG" is considered a [[nickname]] of the Pokémon species inside. Due to Pokémon Stadium 2 hue shifting nicknamed Pokémon into different colors, Eggs get hue shifted as well. This can be seen when viewing Eggs in the [[Pokémon Lab (Stadium)|Pokémon Lab]]. Shinies do not ever get hue shifted, and therefore, all Pokémon Eggs with a Shiny inside are the default tan color without any color change. This way, it is possible to tell if a Pokémon Egg is Shiny before it hatches.

==In the spin-off games==
[[File:Hey You Pikachu Togepi Egg.png|thumb|right|A Togepi Egg]]
===Hey You, Pikachu!===
In [[Hey You, Pikachu!]], a Togepi Egg can be found and hatched while completing the Pokémon Picnic missions. In Japan, this game was released before the launch of Generation II, making it the first Egg to appear in a game.

=== Pokémon Snap===
The Eggs of the [[Kanto]] [[legendary birds]] appeared in {{g|Snap}}. This was the first appearance of Pokémon Eggs outside of Japan. These Eggs could be hatched by player interaction.

*{{p|Articuno}}: This Egg is in the {{OBP|Cave|Snap}} area. It is silver and has a crystalline form. It hatches with the aid of two dancing {{p|Jynx}}.
*{{p|Zapdos}}: This Egg is in the [[Tunnel]] area. It is yellow with a jagged electric pattern on it. It hatches with the aid of a {{p|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Thunderbolt}}.
*{{p|Moltres}}: This Egg is in the {{OBP|Volcano|Snap}} area. It is white with a red flame design on it. It hatches when a [[Pester Ball]] or an apple knocks it into the lava.

===Pokémon Breeder mini===
[[File:Pokémon Breeder egg.png|thumb|120px|right|{{pkmn|Breeder mini}} Eggs]]
Three Eggs containing {{p|Treecko}}, {{p|Torchic}} and {{p|Mudkip}} are available for the player to choose between in {{g|Breeder mini}}. However, these Eggs have a generic appearance, rather than their individual designs present in other media.

===Pokémon Channel===
{{incomplete|section|images of the following Eggs: Azurill, Sentret, and Wynaut}}
In {{g|Channel}}, Pokémon Eggs appear on the ''Eggzamination: Hatch Up!'' channel, where the player can guess which Pokémon is within an Egg, and will win money if correct on hatching, which can take any time between 5 minutes to 24 hours. While some Pokémon hatch from plain white Eggs, a number of Eggs that have appeared in the anime are a main feature on the channel.

Pokémon that hatch from their anime Eggs include {{p|Aipom}}, {{p|Azurill}}, {{p|Bellsprout}}, {{p|Cleffa}}, {{p|Hoppip}}, {{p|Igglybuff}}, {{p|Krabby}}, {{p|Ledyba}}, {{p|Magby}}, {{p|Mudkip}}, {{p|Phanpy}}, {{p|Pichu}}, {{p|Sentret}}, {{p|Slowpoke}}, {{p|Smoochum}}, {{p|Swinub}}, {{p|Teddiursa}}, {{p|Togepi}}, {{p|Torchic}}, {{p|Treecko}}, {{p|Wooper}}, and {{p|Wynaut}}.

Pokémon that hatch from plain white Eggs include {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Chansey}}, {{p|Charmander}}, {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Corsola}}, {{p|Cubone}}, {{p|Diglett}}, {{p|Delibird}}, {{p|Eevee}}, {{p|Geodude}}, {{p|Girafarig}}, {{p|Goldeen}}, {{p|Hoothoot}}, {{p|Koffing}}, {{p|Mr. Mime}}, {{p|Natu}}, {{p|Poliwag}}, {{p|Psyduck}}, {{p|Remoraid}}, {{p|Shellder}}, {{p|Smeargle}}, {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Sudowoodo}}, {{p|Vulpix}}, and {{p|Zubat}}.

===Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire===
[[File:Pinball RS Egg.png|thumb|right|Pinball RS Eggs]]
Eggs can be hatched while playing in Egg Mode in {{g|Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire}}. While playing on the [[Ruby Field]], hit {{p|Cyndaquil}} into the Egg stand three times to start heating the Egg. Hitting it once more will make the Egg hatch. Afterwards, sending the ball into the Egg stand again will lead to {{p|Aerodactyl}} or {{p|Totodile}} replacing the Egg. While playing on the [[Sapphire Field]], send the ball through the Egg Stand to turn on one of the lights. This only works by sending the ball up the lower Egg Loop and not through Spoink launching the ball. Once all four lights are lit, the Egg will hatch the next time the ball is sent through the Egg stand. Afterwards, sending the ball through the Egg stand once more makes a new Egg appear and the process starts over. After an Egg has been hatched it must be caught by hitting it twice with the {{i|Poké Ball}} in less than a minute, otherwise it will go back into the Egg Stand.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], the {{player}} can earn Eggs as a reward for missions with a reward listed as ???. Only one Egg can be kept at a time, and will be sent to [[Treasure Town#Chansey's Day Care|Chansey's Day Care]]. The Egg will hatch after a random number of days, at which point, the hatched Pokémon will ask to join the player's team, be at level 1, and know [[Egg Move]]s.
{{spoilers}}
A [[Wonder Egg]] can be found at the end of the [[Surrounded Sea]], which will hatch into {{p|Manaphy}} the next morning.

===Pokémon Battle Chess===
==== Pokémon Battle Chess BW Version====
In [[Pokémon Battle Chess]] BW Version, a {{p|Victini}} Egg acts as the equivalent of a king piece in chess. The Egg can take three hits before it hatches, and Victini can take one before fainting. If this Victini faints, the controlling player loses. The Egg can still be moved even while unhatched, though only when it has been damaged at least once.

====Pokémon Battle Chess (Set)====
In the Pokémon Battle Chess set, a {{p|Togepi}} Egg replaced Victini as the king piece. Both Togepi and Victini have the same rules as an Egg and when undamaged, though they have different movement and damage rules for when each has taken damaged after hatching.

===Pokémon GO===
:''For current and historic lists of Eggs in {{g|GO}}, see [[List of Eggs in Pokémon GO]].''

In {{g|GO}}, a Pokémon Egg can be hatched by placing it inside an [[Egg Incubator]] and travelling a required distance. A player can hold a maximum of nine Eggs at once and cannot discard unhatched Eggs. In addition, if these nine slots are filled, there are three bonus Egg slots that can only hold Strange Eggs and Eggs obtained from Adventure Sync rewards. The player's travel is only counted towards hatching an Egg at low speeds (i.e. walking and running speeds). [[Adventure Sync]] allows the player's walked distance to be tracked even while the app is closed; without it, only walking while the app is open counts towards hatching Eggs.

There are five different distances which Eggs can require: 2, 5, 7, 10, and 12 km. Starting October 25, 2016, Eggs are colored based on the total distance required to hatch them: 2 km Eggs are white with green spots, 5 km Eggs are white with orange spots, 7 km Eggs are yellow with pink spots, 10 km Eggs are white with purple spots, and 12 km Eggs (also known as Strange Eggs) are white with red spots. 7 km Eggs were introduced on June 21, 2018, initially only being able to hatch into [[Alolan form]]s, but the pool has since been expanded to include [[baby Pokémon]] as well. Strange Eggs were introduced on October 12, 2020.

In December 2020, three bonus storage spaces were added. If the player already has nine Eggs, Eggs can still be received from weekly Adventure Sync rewards or from Team GO Rocket Leader battles and placed into one of these slots.

Eggs can be obtained in a variety of ways. Each of the listed methods has its own separate pool of obtainable Pokémon Eggs.
*Spinning a [[PokéStop]] or {{OBP|Gym|GO}} has a chance of awarding the player a 2 km, 5 km, or 10 km Egg.
* [[Gift]]s from {{OBP|Friends|GO}} have a chance of containing a 7 km.
*Weekly [[Adventure Sync]] rewards may include Eggs. The player can obtain a 5 km Egg for walking 25 km and a 10 km Egg for walking 50 km.
*Winning a [[Trainer Battle (GO)|battle]] against a {{tc|Team GO Rocket Leader}} will award a Strange Egg (12 km Egg).

While it is not possible to know what will hatch from an Egg beforehand, an Egg's properties are determined at the time it is obtained (not when it is hatched). The hatched Pokémon's [[power up]] level will match the player's [[Trainer level]] at the time its Egg was obtained, capped at level 20. Its origin location will be the location at which the player obtained Egg; for Eggs obtained from Gifts, it will be the location at which the Friend obtained the Gift. Pokémon that are hatched from Eggs are guaranteed at least 10 {{IV}}s (out of the maximum 15) in each stat. Region-exclusive Pokémon can only be hatched from Eggs obtained in its respective region; only during the 2018 and 2019 Ultra Bonus events, region-exclusive Pokémon (i.e. {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Kangaskhan}}, {{p|Mr. Mime}}, and {{p|Tauros}}) were obtainable worldwide from 7 km Eggs. Although the possible pool of Pokémon obtainable from Eggs is occasionally updated, these changes do not affect Eggs that players already have on hand, including Event Pokémon hatched after the event when it was obtained has ended.

Hatching Eggs is the only way to obtain most baby Pokémon, along with {{p|Salandit}}, {{p|Varoom}}, {{p|Charcadet}} and {{p|Larvesta}}.


Upon hatching an Egg, a player will receive a random amount of {{OBP|Stardust|GO}} and {{OBP|Candy|GO}} dependent on the Egg's distance. The number of Candy received directly corresponds to the amount of Stardust received.
* 2 to 7 km: <math>Candy = \left\lfloor {stardust \over 75} \right\rfloor</math>
*10 km: <math>Candy = \left\lfloor {stardust \over 100} \right\rfloor</math>
*12 km: <math>Candy = \left\lfloor {stardust \over 200} \right\rfloor</math>

== In the anime==
[[File:Breeding house Eggs.png|thumb|220px|left|Pokémon Eggs at a [[Pokémon Day Care|breeding house]] in ''[[AG150|May's Egg-Cellent Adventure]]'']]
[[File:Reverted Eggs anime.png|thumb|250px|Pokémon Eggs created by [[devolution]] in ''[[JN089|The Gates of Warp!]]'']]
The anime was where Pokémon Eggs made their debut, with {{Ash}}'s find of an Egg in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' predating Pokémon Snap by nearly a year. The Egg was kept safe by {{an|Brock}}, but unlike later episodes, was not kept in its own case. Later Eggs have been shown to be kept in a [[Egg case|case]], which includes a {{i|Poké Ball}} for the baby to be put into upon hatching.

In earlier anime series, Eggs are depicted with unique patterns that match the Pokémon contained within. This was changed in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', with Eggs instead being closer to the generic Egg design from the games; however, the spots on Eggs do vary in color based on the Pokémon, rather than only being green like in the games.

Aside from Togepi's Egg, which hatched similarly to a real egg, later Eggs are shown to flash white before hatching, then to glow white and transform into the Pokémon they contain, similarly to [[evolution]]. By ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'', hatching Eggs would be depicted as glowing and the eggshell bursting open to reveal the young Pokémon, much like in the games.

In the episode ''[[EP263|Address Unown]]'', it was revealed that Pokémon are able to see the world outside of their Eggs. Additionally, Pokémon have been seen interacting from inside their Eggs, with {{p|Manaphy}} using {{m|Heart Swap}} on the [[Team Rocket trio]] before it even hatched (it is also implied that it was the one who gave {{an|May}} the dream involving [[Samiya|the Sea Temple]]).

In ''[[HS15|Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl!]]'', a fossilized {{p|Aerodactyl}} Egg is shown and revealed to have been used in conjunction with an [[Old Amber]] to resurrect a living Aerodactyl.

In ''[[JN089|The Gates of Warp!]]'' and ''[[JN090|Showdown at the Gates of Warp!]]'', {{OBP|Dialga|recurring}} and {{OBP|Palkia|recurring}}'s battling, due to them both being instigated by [[Alternate World Team Rocket]], had caused many Pokémon to [[Devolution|devolve]] and turn back into Eggs. Once the crisis was resolved, Dialga and Palkia repaired the distortions and freed the Pokémon from their Egg forms, reversing the devolutions.

===Pokémon hatched from Eggs that were not seen===
[[File:Eevee hatches.png|right|thumb|[[May's Eevee]] hatching from its Egg in ''[[AG157|Time Warp Heals All Wounds]]'']]
;[[Brock's Mudkip]]
:Mudkip was one of the many Eggs given to [[Old Man Swamp]] to raise to be [[first partner Pokémon]] for beginning Trainers of the [[Hoenn]] [[region]]. It was eventually given to Brock due to Mudkip being too strong for a new Trainer.
;[[Misty's Azurill]]
:It was the offspring of [[Tracey's Marill]], and then {{Tracey}} gave it to {{an|Misty}} as mentioned in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team!]]'', when Azurill itself first appeared.
;[[Iris's Axew]]
:Axew was given to Iris prior to the start of the series a few days after he had hatched.

===Other Pokémon Eggs in the anime===
[[File:Mudkip hatching.png|200px|thumb|A {{p|Mudkip}} hatching from its Egg in ''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]'']]
*''[[EP228|Extreme Pokémon!]]'': An entire breeding house full of Eggs appeared in this episode. Several "dummy" Eggs were used in the race. A large number of the Egg varieties seen, both real and dummy, are unique to this episode. Some of the designs seen are similar to {{p|Beedrill}}, {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Drowzee}}, {{p|Starmie}}, and {{p|Heracross}}, although Beedrill and Starmie usually cannot hatch from Eggs directly.
*''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]'': This episode showed a home where baby {{p|Mudkip}} were bred and even showed one hatching and spraying May in the face. These Eggs were small and blue with orange spots.
*''[[AG150|May's Egg-Cellent Adventure]]'': An entire breeding house full of Eggs appeared in this episode. Primarily, it featured an Egg of a {{p|Vulpix}} which was about to hatch, which was two shades of red with a design of curls separating the top from the bottom, reflecting the design of Vulpix's tails. Many other Eggs appeared in the breeding house. Based on the design, some of the other Eggs were identified as {{p|Aipom}}, {{p|Bellsprout}}, {{p|Chinchou}}, {{p|Cleffa}}, {{p|Elekid}}, {{p|Igglybuff}}, {{p|Ledyba}}, {{p|Magby}}, {{p|Pichu}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, {{p|Sentret}}, {{p|Smoochum}}, {{p|Spinarak}}, {{p|Swinub}}, {{p|Teddiursa}}, and {{p|Wooper}}. A few of the designs were more difficult to distinguish than others.
*''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'': A [[Manaphy (M09)|Manaphy]] Egg was primary to the plot of this movie. During the movie, while everyone was trying to protect the Egg, the center began to glow. When {{an|May}} caught it after being tossed into the air, it began to hatch into a {{p|Manaphy}}. This Egg was translucent blue with a red, yolk-like sphere and a ring of yellow dots inside of it.
*''[[DP087|The Psyduck Stops Here!]]'': {{p|Psyduck}} Eggs were seen in this episode and were the reason why the Psyduck were blocking the road. These Eggs were yellow with patterns that looked like Psyduck's feet.
*''[[SM001|In Alola to New Adventure!]]'': [[Samson Oak]] received this Vulpix Egg from his cousin, {{an|Professor Oak}}. In ''[[SM008|Lillie's Egg-xhilarating Challenge!]]'', Samson offered Ash and his classmates the opportunity to raise either this Egg or a [[Snowy|white one]]. When the latter was chosen, Samson chose to raise the remaining Egg himself. In ''[[SM014|Getting to Know You!]]'', it hatched into a Vulpix. Unlike the previous Vulpix Egg, this Vulpix Egg was orange in color.
*''[[SM004|First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-Style!]]'': {{p|Pikipek}} Eggs were seen in this episode and were hatched alongside [[Ash's Rowlet]] by a {{p|Toucannon}}.
* ''[[M23|Pokémon the Movie: Secrets of the Jungle]]'': {{p|Celebi}} is rumored to visit the jungle in times of peace and leave behind an egg from the future in its wake.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'' & ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''====
Eggs seen in these series feature a more standardized design, closely resembling the generic Egg designs from the [[core series]] games, albeit with the color of the spots depending on the Pokémon inside.

*''[[JN080|Trial on a Golden Scale!]]'': {{p|Larvesta}} Eggs were seen in this episode, being the target of a [[Nito|Pokémon poacher]]. They had red spots.
*''[[JN089|The Gates of Warp!]]'': Due to the influence of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, [[Alternate World Dawn]]'s {{p|Piplup}} reverted back into an Egg with dark blue spots. Multiple other reverted Eggs also appeared in the episode.
* ''[[JN090|Showdown at the Gates of Warp!]]'': Due to the influence of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, [[Alternate World Ash]]'s {{p|Infernape}} reverted back into an Egg with orange spots. Several other Egg spot colors were also seen with reverted Pokémon such as [[Alternate World Chloe]]'s {{p|Eevee}}–brown, [[Alternate World Team Rocket]]'s {{p|Croagunk}}, {{p|Glameow}}, {{p|Rhyhorn}}, and {{p|Stunky}}, and a Trainer's {{p|Buizel}} and {{p|Shieldon}}–orange and yellow spots, respectively. Alternate World Ash's {{p|Pichu}} and Alternate World Goh's {{p|Trapinch}}, {{p|Aerodactyl}}, {{p|Scorbunny}} reverted into Eggs very similar to their counterparts from the main world.
* ''[[HZ037|Fuecoco…Becomes a Crook?!]]'': {{p|Sandile}} Eggs were seen in this episode and were the reason why the Sandile, {{p|Krokorok}}, and {{p|Krookodile}} were disturbing the group of {{OBP|Archeologists|HZ037}}.

*The Eggs of {{p|Elekid}} and {{p|Magby}} are the only Eggs whose designs depict those of the Pokémon's {{p|Electabuzz|evolved}} {{p|Magmar|form}}, rather than the Pokémon it directly hatches into.
*Aside from {{OBP|Manaphy|M09}}, which is {{pkmn2|Mythical}}, no Pokémon that has been seen hatching from an Egg in the anime is a Pokémon that is unable to evolve.
*Even though Eggs are incapable of battling, they have [[base stats]] programmed into the game. Each stat is 10.
**Through [[Pomeg glitch|a glitch]] in {{game|Emerald}} and [[Generation IV]], Eggs can actually battle in-game.
*In {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, there was a minor bug when Pokémon hatched from an Egg in another game was traded to either game. When done, the "Egg" that appears after the location where the Egg hatched in the summary will change to "met" when traded to Ruby or Sapphire. This bug was fixed in {{game|Emerald}}.
**Also in Generations III, IV, and V, when an Egg is generated, it is given the OT, ID, secret ID, and game identifier of the game which created it. This can cause an Egg which is traded to hatch {{Shiny}} and then be normally colored, or hatch normally colored, and then be Shiny. This is due to the change in OT, ID, and secret ID happening after the hatching cutscene.
**This issue is also present if a Pokémon is traded between the main and remake games of the third and fourth generations: the game identifier is never changed, meaning that an Azurill Egg generated in Hoenn, but then traded to Kanto and hatched will, though identifying itself as having the Kanto player as its OT, still be marked as having been generated in Hoenn. When transferred via Pal Park to Generation IV, it will say that it is from Hoenn, rather than Kanto, as this is determined not by [[List of locations by index number in Generation III|index number]] of the location hatched, but by game identifier. In Generation IV, this occurs between Sinnoh and Johto games when Pokémon are transferred forward to Generation V. It cannot occur between Kanto/Hoenn and Johto/Sinnoh games, however, as Pokémon Eggs cannot be transferred via Pal Park.
**Both issues were resolved in [[Generation VI]], where an Egg uses its current owner's OT, ID, secret ID, and game identifier while hatching.
*The DVs of the Pokémon hatched from the Odd Egg will always be either 0/2/10/10/10 if Shiny or all 0 if non-Shiny, regardless of language version. These are the lowest possible values in Generation II for any Shiny or non-Shiny Pokémon, respectively.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20141231124858/http://upokecenter.dreamhosters.com/articles/pokemon-video-games/pokemon-crystal/pokemon-crystal-odd-egg/ Odd Egg - The Ultimate Pokémon Center (archive)]</ref>
*The Odd Egg always hatches with 125 experience points. This matches the base [[experience]] for the {{cat|Pokémon in the Medium Fast experience group|Medium Fast}} experience group (which includes {{p|Pichu}}, {{p|Tyrogue}}, {{p|Smoochum}}, {{p|Elekid}} and {{p|Magby}} in this instance), but exceeds the base experience for the {{cat|Pokémon in the Fast experience group|Fast}} experience group. This makes it possible for a {{p|Cleffa}} or {{p|Igglybuff}} hatched from the Odd Egg to start with more experience points than it would normally have.
**This, in turn, means hatching a Cleffa or Igglybuff from the Odd Egg is the only way to newly obtain a Pokémon that already has experience point progress towards its next level.
*Prior to [[Generation IV]], due to the fact that Pokémon hatched from Eggs at level 5, several [[wild Pokémon]] found in early [[route]]s had lower levels than newly-hatched Pokémon.

'''Hau''' (Japanese: '''ハウ''' ''Hau'') is a character introduced in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. He is the grandson of the [[island kahuna]] for [[Melemele Island]], [[Hala]]. He serves as one of the player's [[friend]]s<ref>The official website and in-game tracks refer to the character as either ''Your Friend Hau'' or ''My Friend Hau'', with internal data referring to him as '''FRIEND'''.</ref> and [[rival]]s in {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}.

==In the core series games==
===Character profile===
Hau is a young, big-hearted boy that quickly becomes the {{player}}'s friend as soon as they move to the [[Alola]] [[region]]. At the start of the story, the Pokémon loving boy is often laidback and enjoys Pokémon battles for fun, but over the course of his [[island challenge]], he begins to feel more serious. Hau has a huge appeite, especially for Alola's famous [[Pokémon food#Local specialties|local specialty]], [[malasada]], always looking for nearby malasada shops. Hau is typically excited about the Pokémon, people and locations he finds, stating that he took the island challenge the moment he had the chance to.<ref>'''Hau''': "''Yeah, I took the first chance I had to join in the island challenge once I turned 11!''" ({{game4|SMUSUM}})</ref> He loves Pokémon battles and battles the player at almost any opportunity, but remembers to heal up the player's [[party]] before any begin. Hau often means well, but his sense of curiosity and excitement can irritate others and cause himself to struggle in certain actions and consequences. In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], [[Hau (Masters)|his character]] description claims that he's often optimistic and and his smile can be infectious.<ref>''"An optimist whose constant smiling is infectious, he loves malasadas and fun. He takes Pokémon battles where Trainers are in sync with their Pokémon very seriously."'' ([[Pokémon Masters EX]])</ref> Hau has a sense of humor that others such as [[Lillie]] may not respond to very well. In response, this has lead to playful name calling, telling Lillie that she is a "stick in the sand."

Over the course of the [[Alola]]-based games, despite knowing that its okay to have fun with Pokémon battles, Hau begins to take his strength and training more seriously. All of Hau's Pokémon battles with the player can be lost without consequences of losing with the story progressing in either direction, with exception of his final battle in either game, where the player must win to progress. Hau learns from the player and [[Gladion]] and trains with his grandfather, [[Hala]], who provides Hau with a [[Z-Ring]] partway through the story. Hau takes great notice of his strength, wishing to get better to help others when necessary. He enjoys the company of his friends, the player and [[Lillie]], who he travels with throughout the story.

Hau lives in [[Iki Town]] on [[Melemele Island]]. His currently known relatives include his grandfather, [[Hala]], the [[island kahuna|kahuna]] of the island, who he lives with. He affectionately calls Hala ''"Tutu."'' One of the villagers in [[Iki Town]], where they live, comments that as a boy, Hau had once witnessed Hala in a rage, which frightened him to the point of tears. Nothing Hala did could comfort him, which he claims is the reason why Hala is "too soft" on Hau. Both of Hau's parents are mentioned but go unnamed. Hau mentions that his father is not in Alola, and is likely on his own adventure, presumably in [[Kanto]], with context saying that he will look for him and Lillie across the [[Pokémon world|world]] after he asks the player about the region (to which Lillie left to, and the player is from).<ref>'''Hau''': ''"All right! Then it's decided! I'm gonna get stronger and stronger, and then I'm gonna travel the world with my Pokémon! I'm gonna go find Lillie! And my dad, too!"'' ({{g|Sun and Moon}})</ref>

===Appearance===
[[File:Hau SM concept art.png|thumb|left|250px|Hau is big-hearted and constantly has a smile on his face]]
Hau is a young Alolan boy at around the age of 11. Hau has long dark green hair that he keeps tied up in a ponytail. His bangs are pulled back and two side bangs fall down to chin length. He wears two orange hair clips on the top of his head on opposite sides. This hair style gives him some resemblance to his grandfather, [[Hala]], who wears his hair in a similar way. Hau has rounded eyes with no distinct eyelashes, his irises being completely black, leaving only a white glare in them.

Hau's outfit remains consistent throughout the whole game and between versions. He wears a large, slightly baggy black t-shirt with short sleeves that end at his elbows. His shirt's collar is white that goes all the way around his collar bone, this collar is slightly larger than it looks, and has an orange button on the front to make it smaller, leaving a smaller open loop. Hau wears large orange swimtrunks, ending at his knees. The shorts have a floral decoration to them, leaving darker red-orange leaves and white flowers, this pattern is reminiscent of the Pokémon, {{p|Florges}}. Hau wears a pair of orange sandals, the same color as the darker orange flowers. The shoes are mainly open, but cover the toes, has a singular strap and wrap around his ankles. He has a round orange multi-layered backpack that is the same colors as his pants, a light orange handle connects to the top of it. Two white zippers connect to the largest opening, and a single white zipper connects to a smaller opening. The middle has a darker orange divider going through the middle. Darker orange stracks go around his shoulders like a schoolbag and connect to the bottom.

Hau's only difference in design between versions is that he wears a white [[Z-Ring]] created by Hala on his left wrist in Sun and Moon, while in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, he wears a black [[Z-Power Ring]] instead.

===[[Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon Special Demo Version]]===
In the Special Demo, Hau appears as part of the story. After the {{player}}, [[Elio (game)|Sun]], arrives in Hau'oli City, he introduces himself. In the Tourist Bureau, Sun's mother suggests that they take a look around the city's shopping district. Sun and Hau then get into a fight with Team Skull. After which, Hau directs the player to a [[Pokémon Center]] where he provides the player with a [[Super Potion]].

On Sunday nights, Hau will appear near the Malasada Shop.

===[[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]===
[[File:Sun Moon Hau.png|thumb|right|150px|Hau's appearance from {{g|Sun and Moon}}, illustrated by [[Ken Sugimori]]]]
====Background and pre-game====
'''Website blurb:''' ''"Hau is a Pokémon-loving young boy with a big appetite! He's the same age as your character. When you move to the Alola region, he makes friends with you right away. He has a real weakness for malasada, a famous treat in the Alola region, and he is always in search of malasada shops. He is a big-hearted boy who really loves Pokémon."''

====On Melemele Island====
Hau first meets the player after they have chosen their [[first partner Pokémon]], revealing that he already has one. Hau will challenge the player using the first partner Pokémon weak to that of the player's choice. Upon losing, he quickly shrugs off his defeat as he says that he is having fun. Hau's happy-go-lucky attitude affects most of his early {{pkmn|battle}}s as he didn't mind losing and just wants to enjoy his adventure. He embarks on the [[island challenge]] at the same time as the player, and completes the challenges at around the same pace. He travels along with the player, [[Professor Kukui]] and [[Lillie]] through Melemele Island. After the player goes through the {{al|Trainers' School}}, Hau brings the player and Lillie to [[Hau'oli City]], where he helps the player upgrade their [[Rotom Pokédex]] with the Poké Finder at the Alola Tourist Bureau. After this, the group of three meet back up and take group picture using Rotom Dex's new feature. While Hau does most of his trials at around the same time as the player, he tends to relax first, preferring to explore cities such as local shops first, often doing his trials and tasks after the player. In Sun and Moon, Hau rides on the boat with the player, Lillie and Professor Kukui to [[Heahea City]] on [[Akala Island]], showing exciting of reaching a new location and wanting to hurry. In contrast to Lillie, he tends to take things less serious.

====On Akala Island====
Hau occasionally meets up with the player throughout Akala Island, doing the same trials as them. He frequently asks the player to battle with them, such as in [[Paniola Town]], where he tells them how he wishes to be strong like his grandfather, who has provided him with a [[Z-Ring]]{{sup/7|SM}} or [[Z-Power Ring]]{{sup/7|USUM}} of his own. The two travel to {{rt|5|Alola}} and have another encounter with [[Team Skull]], this time with another member by the name of [[Gladion]]. Gladion defeats Hau in battle, telling Hau that his Pokémon aren't weak, but Hau doesn't tend to take things too seriously, irritating Gladion. Hau meets up with the player again at the [[Battle Royal Dome]], along with Gladion who once again, have conflicting thoughts on Pokémon battles. Hau makes it back to [[Heahea City]] catching up with the main group at [[Professor Burnet]]'s Dimensional Research Lab and walks with the player through [[Diglett's Tunnel]] to meet up with [[Olivia]] for his grand trial. Sometime along the way [[Faba]] from the [[Aether Foundation]] invites Hau to go with the player to [[Aether Paradise]]. Hau invites Lillie with them, who rejects and chooses to watch Hau's grand trial with Olivia instead. At Akala Island's sea port, he seems impressed the man-made island of [[Aether Paradise]] and is excited to talk about it with the player.

====Tour of Aether Paradise====
On the tour through Aether Paradise, Hau meets [[Wicke]], who recognizes that he is a trial-goer at the age of 11. Meeting up with [[Lusamine]], at the conservation area, he converses with her and the player about how cruel nature can truly and it's the job of the Aether Foundation to protect Pokémon without harming the natural course. Hau is shocked to hear from Lusamine that she is over forty years old. Lusamine makes the quick comment that the right outfit can make someone look much better. Hau makes an off-handed statement that nobody could probably pull off the president's looks, except for Lillie, invoking a non-verbal response in Lusamine. An [[Ultra Wormhole]] appears in front of the group and out comes an [[Ultra Beast]], Hau tells the player to fight and distract {{p|Nihilego|the creature}} as he protects Lusamine from harm. Afterwards, Lusamine tells Wicke to bring them back on their island challenge and boat them to [[Ula'ula Island]].

====On Ula'ula Island====
On the island of Ula'ula, Hau meets up with Kukui and the player at [[Malie Garden]], who tells them that their next trial is on top of [[Mount Hokulani]] at the [[Hokulani Observatory]]. Hau does not seem to recognize what an observatory is, but is excited to find out. He splits paths with the player, preferring to find other things to do before challenging the trial. He does his trial off-screen, meeting up with the player again at {{rt|13|Alola}}, where they butt heads once again with Gladion. Gladion tells them both that if they know about a Pokémon by the name of {{p|Cosmog}}, they should keep it safe at all costs, as it could bring disaster to the Alola region. Hau starts to worry if Lillie is going to be okay. Hau and Lillie stay at the [[Aether House]] for the time being while the player does their trial and saves a {{p|Yungoos}} at [[Po Town]]. While the player is gone, Aether House is raided by Team Skull, Hau manages to win a battle against a {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}}, but says that battles he can't afford to lose aren't any fun. Before the player returns, Hau loses a critical battle against Team Skull's Admin [[Plumeria]] when she and her grunts kidnaps Lillie, and is left depressed and in doubt of his own skills because of this. He feels weak for being unable to save Lillie, who in turn, willingly went with Team Skull to protect Hau, [[Nebby]], and any children involved. Gladion overhears this conversation, and berates both Hau and the player for being unable to protect Nebby and Lillie, telling them to go to Aether Paradise with him.

====Rescue at Aether Paradise====
Hau joins the player and Gladion in their attempt to rescue Lillie and Nebby from the Aether Foundation. Although he starts to doubt about himself and at first hesitates to accompany them because he would probably feel like a burden. During the infiltration in Aether Paradise, he is constantly irritated by Gladion's orders and lack of explaining, both constantly end up arguing. He goes with the player to Secret Lab B to learn more about Cosmog. Hau manages to take down several {{tc|Aether Foundation Employee}}s with Gladion and the player before reaching Lillie, glad to hear that she is unharmed. He ends up surprised when Lusamine reveals that Lillie and Gladion were her children. Lusamine attempts to open up [[Ultra Wormhole]]s across Alola using the captured Nebby. At this time, Gladion orders Hau to keep [[Guzma]] busy while he deals with the recently arrived {{p|Nihilego}}, but Lusamine and Guzma manage to achieve their objective and escape.

The group takes rest at Aether Paradise for the night, under the protection of Wicke. The following morning, Lillie takes on a new appearance, to which Hau compliments her new look. In parallel to Lillie, who wishes to change herself, Hau expresses his intention to hold back the island challenge and train himself with Hala instead. After everything that happened, Hau has realized how weak he is, especially when compared to the player or Gladion. So he must get his act together if he wants to achieve his goals. Hau stops his journey and island challenge and sets out to train with Hala.

====Ending====
When the player is about to enter the {{al|Pokémon League}} building, Hau catches up to them and challenges the player to another battle to decide who will face the league first. This time, Hau takes the fight more seriously and asks the player to use all their strength. Upon losing, Hau reveals that this time he really wanted to beat the player and reaffirms his determination to get even stronger. He finally takes battles more seriously. Hau says goodbye to the player and spurs them on for his Pokémon League challenge. The day after the player becomes the {{pkmn|Champion}}, Hau decides to spend time with the player and everyone else at the festival. The following day, Hau runs into the player's house, telling them about a disaster and that the two of them need to go to the Hau'oli's Marina immediately. As it turns out, Lillie is leaving for [[Kanto]] without having been able to say it to either the player or Hau, who is devastated by this. Hau tells her that he will write the biggest of letters for when she leaves, and in response, Lillie offers Hau an unknown present. Hau, the player and Kukui say goodbye to Lillie as she takes off on the back of the ferry, leaving Hau in tears. The group of three sit down, and Hau talks about his emotions, Kukui saying that it is okay, and it's best to give people one last smile as they leave. Professor Kukui takes the two kids home back to their parents.
[[File:SM Ending Screen 1.png|thumb|right|250px|Hau and his grandfather in Sun and Moon's credits]]

In the credits sequence, Hau can be seen in two different photographs. The first of his photographs shown, and the first one to appear as a whole, has Hau using {{p|Tauros}} [[Poké Ride|Charge]], having a race with his grandfather and Tapu Koko. The second photograph has him pictured alongside the player and Lillie in Hau'oli City, being the one that the three of them took at the start of their journey. The last of the images are shown after the credits. The photograph is shown as part of an opened package sent to Lillie with other photographs and a letter with imagery drawn on it. The words "The End" slowly appears on screen.

====In the post-game====
At the start of the post-game, Hau appears at the [[player's house]] to give them the [[Z-Crystal]]s to the first partner Pokémon they didn't choose at the start of the game, saying that he got them as rewards after having finally had a serious battle with his grandfather. After asking the player and their {{al|mom}} about Kanto, he decides to train hard to one day travel there to find both Lillie and his father, who is a strong Trainer who had hated being the son of a kahuna and thus had moved out of Alola. Hau also warns that he will try to beat the player and snatch them their Champion title, now that he is strong enough. Afterwards, Hau can be found at Iki Town, training a pair of reformed Team Skull Grunts in Alolan {{wp|sumo}}.

Hau is one of the possible NPCs who can [[Pokémon League (Alola)/Title Defense|challenge the player for the title of Champion]], implying that he has completed all his island trials. He will always be the first challenger to appear after the player has defeated the [[Elite Four]] for the second time. There, Hau has achieved everything he wanted, but he warns that he still has an opponent to defeat, the player.
{{-}}
===[[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]]===
'''Website blurb:''' ''"Hau is a boy who becomes your friend as soon as you move to Alola. He’s the same age as you. Hau is known to be a laid-back guy, but through the island challenge, he will come to terms with his reasons for participating in Pokémon battles."''

After the player has obtained their first partner Pokémon from Professor Kukui on {{rt|1|Alola}}, Hau will appear and choose his own first partner Pokémon from the remaining two (which is always the one weak to the player's choice) before challenging the player into their first Trainer battle. When his grandfather shows up late in Iki Town, Hau berates him for his lateness. After the player has defeated Hala, instead of boarding Kukui's boat, Hau will invite the player to [[Mantine Surf|ride Mantine]] to Akala Island.

On Ula'ula Island, Hau will give the player a [[Lycanium Z]] after battling them after their arrival on the island. After the player defeats Guzma at Malie Garden, Guzma notices Hau and tells him that he shouldn't take the island challenge just because he's a kahuna's grandson. After the Aether Paradise incident, Hau realizes that he keeps failing to protect those he cares about, and becomes even more determined to become stronger.

When {{p|Necrozma}} fuses with [[Nebby]] during the game's climax and [[Ultra Beast]]s start appearing around Alola, Hau and Hala are seen coming face to face with a {{p|Blacephalon}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{p|Stakataka}}{{sup/7|UM}} at [[Mahalo Trail]]. Hala chooses to entrust the battle to his grandson, who is soon joined in the battle by {{p|Tapu Koko}}. After the Necrozma crisis is over and the player starts taking on [[Mina]]'s trial, the player encounters Hau and his fully evolved first partner Pokémon at [[Hau'oli Cemetery]], also taking on Mina's trial. He then tells the player that they should have a serious battle once they're both done with their island challenge. Later during Mina's trial, he also shows up outside the Aether House, encountering the player and Guzma there. He encourages Guzma to become something no one's ever been before, before giving the player one last warning of their upcoming serious battle. After the player has cleared Mina's trial, Hala will show up and reveal that he and Hau had finally had an all-out battle, in which Hau had managed to defeat his grandfather.

After the player has defeated the Elite Four, instead of Professor Kukui challenging them to test the player's worthiness, Hau will appear to face the player as their final challenger at the Pokémon League to determine the Alola region's first Champion. This time, Hau takes the fight much more seriously and asks the player to use all their strength. He also once again appears in the Title Defense battles, now being the strongest possible challenger.

During the post-game, Hau will accompany the player to [[Poni Grove]] to help the [[Ultra Recon Squad]] deal with a group of Blacephalon{{sup/7|US}}/Stakataka{{sup/7|UM}} that have appeared there. Regardless of how the player fares against the Ultra Beasts, Hau eventually manages to catch one, giving it to the Ultra Recon Squad for research purposes.

After the Ultra Beast incident at Poni Grove has been solved, Hau can be found at Iki Town, going through the memories of his island challenge with his first partner Pokémon. The Z-Crystals he gave to the player in Sun and Moon are now obtained from Hala instead.

===Pokémon===
Hau's team slightly differs based on the player's [[first partner Pokémon]] choice. He chooses the first partner Pokémon that is weak to the player's first partner Pokémon, while his {{p|Eevee}} evolves into the [[Eeveelution]] with a type advantage over the player's chosen first partner Pokémon. As seen throughout Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, he tends to release his Alola first partner from its [[Poké Ball]], and mentions it by name frequently as the story progresses.

While Hau has an Alola first partner Pokémon that evolves over time and is seen in every battle, he also has a {{p|Pichu}} that also evolves over time. This Pichu eventually evolves into an {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Raichu}}. Raichu is seen in numerous other pieces of media and cross-canon counterparts, including the [[Trading Card Game]], the [[Pokémon the Series: Sun and Moon|anime]], and [[Pokémon Masters EX]], being seen as his main partner. In his second battle and onward, Pichu, {{p|Pikachu}} or Raichu can be seen participating in all battles involving Hau.

Hau owns a {{p|Tauros}} in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, which has also made appearances outside the core series, such as Pokémon Masters EX. In Sun and Moon's end credits, a Tauros can be seen ridden on by Hau in a photograph. In this image, Hau is wearing Ride Gear and Tauros is wearing gear itself that resembles the same one used by the player for [[Poké Ride]], implying that this Tauros was summoned through the Ride Pager.

The player will not [[black out]] in battles against Hau and the story will progress regardless of the outcome, except for battles taking place at [[Mount Lanakila]]{{sup/7|SM}} or the [[Pokémon League (Alola)|Pokémon League]].

==In the anime==
===Main series===
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''====
[[File:Hau anime.png|thumb|250px|Hau in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Hau debuted in ''[[SM097|No Stone Unturned!]]'', where he and his father had just returned to [[Alola]] after a long time away. He was {{pkmn|training}} with {{p|Dartrix}}, only for its attacks to accidentally hit {{Ash}}, {{Rotom}}, and {{AP|Pikachu}}. Hau became excited upon seeing Ash's [[Z-Ring]] and asked if he had taken part in [[Hala]]'s grand trial. Hau then had a {{pkmn|battle}} against Ash, using Dartrix against {{AP|Rowlet}}. Hau ended up winning when Ash dropped his [[Grassium Z]]. Ash suggested they have another battle, but Hau was about to have a meeting with his father, so he declined but promised to meet up the next day for a [[rematch]]. The next day, they conducted their rematch after Rowlet learned how to use {{m|Seed Bomb}}, but it was still not enough to defeat it. In a last-ditch effect, Ash and Rowlet performed the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Bloom Doom}}, which was able to defeat Dartrix.
[[File:Ash and Hau.png|thumb|left|250px|Hau and Ash]]
In ''[[SM128|League Offenders and Defenders!]]'', Hau caught up with Ash and met {{ashcl}} for the [[Manalo Conference]]. He later assisted in the battle against [[Team Skull]], defeating [[Rapp]] and her {{p|Zubat}}.

In ''[[SM129|Battle Royal 151!]]'', Hau competed in the [[Battle Royal]] preliminary round of the Manalo Conference with his {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Raichu}} and was able to progress to the Top 16. The match-ups revealed that he would be battling [[Samson Oak]]. In ''[[SM130|Battling Besties!]]'', Hau went up against Samson in the first round of the Manalo Conference. He used his Raichu against Samson's Alolan {{p|Exeggutor}} and eventually won, advancing to the second round.

In ''[[SM131|The Battlefield of Truth and Love!]]'', Hau approached Ash with his Decidueye upon learning that they would be battling each other in the next round of the Manalo Conference. In ''[[SM132|Imitation Is the Sincerest Form of Strategy!]]'', Hau went to search for Ash, who was late for their battle due to his training with Rowlet. After finding him and making it to the battlefield with him, Hau and Ash began their battle. During the battle, Decidueye was able to dodge Rowlet's Bloom Doom, before using its own Z-Move, {{m|Sinister Arrow Raid}}, which was barely avoided by Rowlet. The battle concluded in ''[[SM133|Battling on the Wing!]]'' after Decidueye was defeated by Rowlet's {{m|Brave Bird}}, thus eliminating Hau from the tournament. Though he congratulated Ash for his victory, Hau was left dismayed by his loss, but he was comforted by Hala, who complimented him for the battle.

From ''[[SM135|The Final Four!]]'' to ''[[SM137|The Wisdom Not to Run!]]'', Hau watched the battles between {{an|Kiawe}} and {{an|Gladion}}, and Ash and [[Guzma]]. He then reappeared in a flashback in ''[[SM138|Final Rivals!]]''.

In ''[[SM139|Enter the Champion!]]'', Hau attended the award ceremony for the Manalo Conference victor, only for it to be interrupted when a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Manalo Stadium Guzzlord|Guzzlord}} arrived at the stadium through an [[Ultra Wormhole]]. In [[SM140|the following episode]], Hau helped evacuate innocent civilians to safety, only for another, {{Shiny}} {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Shiny Guzzlord|Guzzlord}} to emerge from another wormhole at the shopping area. By combining their Z-Moves, Hau, Gladion, Kiawe, {{an|Lana}}, {{an|Lillie}}, {{an|Sophocles}}, and {{an|Mallow}} managed to successfully knock the Shiny Guzzlord back into [[Ultra Space]].

From ''[[SM141|Exhibition Unmasked!]]'' to ''[[SM144|From Z to Shining Z!]]'', Hau watched the {{wp|exhibition game|exhibition match}} between Ash and {{an|Professor Kukui}} alongside Decidueye.

In ''[[SM146|Thank You, Alola! The Journey Continues!]]'', Hau was briefly seen battling [[Nanu]] in the [[Ula'ula Island]] grand trial, though the outcome of the battle wasn't shown.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
In ''[[JN112|Helping the Hometown Hero!]]'', Hau and Decidueye watched the [[Battle Royal]] match between Ash, Kukui, {{an|Gladion}}, and {{an|Kiawe}}.

====Character====
Hau is an energetic young {{pkmn|Trainer}} keen to take on the [[Island challenge]]. His inexperience showed during his debut appearance in ''[[SM097|No Stone Unturned!]]'', where he was confident though lacked direction in his battle style. Hau's focus and ability to foresee his opponent's strategy had improved by the eve of the [[Manalo Conference]], which enabled him to advance to the Top 8 before he was defeated by {{Ash}} in their match in ''[[SM133|Battling on the Wing!]]''. He is still learning to cope with defeat, though quickly calms himself down. He also values the experience of others as inspiration, especially {{Ash}} and his grandfather [[Hala]].

===GOTCHA!===
Hau briefly appeared in [[GOTCHA!]].

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Hau Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Hau in Pokémon Adventures]]
Hau debuted in ''[[PASM04|The Decision and the Tournament of Six]]''. He first appeared as a participant at an [[Iki Town]] festival tournament.

In ''[[PASM05|The Announcement and the Prize]]'', Hau faced [[Gladion]] in the first round. During their battle, Gladion asked why Hau joined the tournament and assumed he wanted to surpass his grandfather [[Hala]]. When Hau replied that he thought it would be fun, Gladion called him weak and won the {{pkmn|battle}}.

In ''[[PASM16|A Photoshoot and the Abandoned Thrifty Megamart]]'', Hau met [[Ilima]] at the [[Melemele Island]] [[Pokémon academy|Trainers' School]] and requested to join him and the other [[Trial Captain]]s in confronting [[Team Skull]] at their hideout in [[Po Town]]. Hau wanted to meet [[Guzma]], who was a student of Hala's, but ended up believing that only victories mattered in battles. After Ilima accepted, Hau went off to buy [[malasada]]s, as he believed that with food, everyone might get along easier. Later that day, Hau and Ilima met with [[Lana]], [[Kiawe]], [[Mallow]], and [[Acerola]] at Po Town. Their presence alerted Guzma, who demanded to know why his base was being invaded. When Hau and the Captains revealed they only wanted to talk, Guzma agreed on the condition they made it to him first. He then summoned a {{p|Pheromosa}}, {{p|Celesteela}}, and {{p|Guzzlord}}; and had them attack Hau and the Captains. Despite their best efforts, Hau and the others were completely outmatched by the rampaging [[Ultra Beast]]s.

In ''[[PASM18|Confusion and Monsters from Another World]]'', {{adv|Sun}} arrived at Po Town, only to get caught up in the commotion. Annoyed Hau and the Captains were still fighting, Guzma revealed a {{p|Cosmog}} and had it open more [[Ultra Wormhole]]s. Gladion appeared, demanding to know where Guzma got the Cosmog and Ultra Beasts from. Revealing his true aim is to destroy Ultra Beasts, Gladion battled the beasts Guzma summoned with his {{TP|Gladion|Type: Null}}. To everyone's shock, Gladion also revealed the [[Aether Foundation]]'s president, [[Lusamine]], was the one who gave Guzma Cosmog as part of her plan to create a paradise filled with nothing but Ultra Beasts and herself. Eventually, the Ultra Beasts broke out of Po Town's barrier, allowing them to wreak havoc across [[Ula'ula Island]].

Six months later in ''[[PASM32|Shock!! Father in the Pendant!]]'', Hau traveled to [[Exeggutor Island]], where the Trial Captains and [[island kahuna]]s had been {{pkmn|training}} in preparation to face the Ultra Beasts. Despite Hala initially refusing to let him join the others in training, Hau requested to participate in the battle to protect Alola, revealing that he had been training by himself while traveling around Alola and unknowingly obtained a [[Sparkling Stone]], which was made into a [[Z-Ring]] by [[Olivia]]. Seeing the Z-Ring and Hau's determination, Hala agreed to train his grandson.

Hau was taken to [[Resolution Cave]], where he sparred with Hala until his {{p|Brionne}} evolved into a {{p|Primarina}}. After finishing their training, Hala decided they should join the others on [[Mount Lanakila]], only to be interrupted by a battle between {{p|Tapu Fini}} and a {{p|Buzzwole}}. After learning the others were also battling the Ultra Beasts, Hau and Hala teamed up to assist Tapu Fini.

Several months later, Hau decided to open a malasada and Tapu Cocoa shop. He was assisted by a reformed Guzma and received recipe tips from [[Mallow]].

Heroes of Truth and Ideals

2024-08-21T08:47:44Z

Rockapheller: /* In other languages */

{{incomplete|2=Manga section needs expanding}}
[[File:Hero of Truth Ideals M14.png|thumb|250px|The Hero of Truth and the Hero of Ideals respectively in [[M14|the anime]]]]
The '''Hero of Truth''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|真実|しんじつ}}の{{tt|勇者|ゆうしゃ}}''' ''Hero of Truth'') and the '''Hero of Ideals''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|理想|りそう}}の{{tt|勇者|ゆうしゃ}}''' ''Hero of Ideals''), also collectively known as the '''twin heroes''', are characters from the backstory of {{game|Black and White|s}}.

==In the core series games==
===Pokémon Black and White===
In mythologies, the twin heroes are said to have used a [[List of disputed and unidentified Pokémon#The single dragon|single, powerful dragon]] to create the [[Unova]] [[region]], however, the brothers each sought something different for the region—truth for the older brother and ideals for the younger—this caused an arguing and then a fight over whose side was right. In response, the dragon split into [[Tao Trio|three Pokémon]]: its truth, {{p|Reshiram}}; its ideals, {{p|Zekrom}}; and its leftover shell, {{p|Kyurem}}. Reshiram then sided with the older brother twin while Zekrom sided with the younger twin.

The two dragons were equally matched and neither conquered the other. Eventually, the brothers set aside their differences and equally declared that there was no right side. In the future however, the sons of the heroes resumed their fight, using Reshiram and Zekrom, completly destroying the region during the conflict with their fire and lightning powers. The second battle led to the original heroes to seal away their dragons each within a [[Dragon Stones|spherical stone]].

At some point, each of the heroes built a city with the help of their respective dragons. The hero of truth{{sup/5|B}}{{sup/5|B2}}/Hero of Ideals{{sup/5|W}}{{sup/5|W2}} built an ancient city over 2,500 years ago that'd be buried in the sand as time went on, its ruins are known as [[Relic Castle]]. The hero of ideals{{sup/5|W}}{{sup/5|W2}}/hero of truth{{sup/5|B}}{{sup/5|B2}} built an ancient city about 3,000 years ago that'd sink in the water as time went on, its ruins are known as [[Abyssal Ruins]].

The conflict between truth and ideals repeats itself during the events of {{g|Black and White}}, the king of [[Team Plasma]], [[N]], sought the [[Dark Stone]]{{sup/5|B}}/[[Light Stone]]{{sup/5|W}} to revive {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/5|B}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/5|W}} and create a world where humans and Pokémon live separately while [[Hilda]]/[[Hilbert]] obtained the Light Stone{{sup/5|B}}/Black Stone{{sup/5|W}} to stop N and allow humans and Pokémon and keep coexisting.

==In the spin-off games==
=== Pokémon Masters EX===
Even though the two brothers themselves never appear, in the present day, {{mas|Hilbert}} and {{mas|N}} became their successors and are seen as the new heroes of truth and ideals respectively.

==In the anime==
[[File:King of the Vale M14.png|thumb|250px|[[King of the People of the Vale|The father of the heroes]], who's exclusive to the anime]]
===Main series===
They are twin brothers and are the sons of the [[King of the People of the Vale]] that lived one thousand years ago in [[Kingdom of the Vale]].

One day, the two brothers began to fight over their beliefs and started a war in the process. This devastated the kingdom and caused the [[Dragon Force]] energy that was enriching their kingdom to become corrupted, turning into a destructive and chaotic force that destroyed the land.

The chaos the Dragon Force caused forced the King to use {{OBP|Victini|M14}}'s power to move the [[Sword of the Vale]] to the location that would eventually become Eindoak Town. Despite managing to calm the Dragon Force, the King unfortunately died soon after, accidentally leaving Victini trapped inside of the Sword of the Vale's barrier. Reshiram and Zekrom, exhausted from their battle, reverted into stones known as "[[Dragon Stones]]". Guilt ridden, the brothers took and hid the stones in a secret cave hidden deep underneath the castle.{{-}}

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
Prior to the start of the {{MangaArc|Black & White}}, the Heroes of Truth and Ideals were twin heroes who created the [[Unova]] region. They used a powerful Dragon {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and eventually the two brothers argued over how to rule the Unova region. The elder brother pursued the truth while the younger brother pursued ideals. Unable to choose a side, the Dragon Pokémon split into two beings: {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Reshiram}}, who sided with the elder brother, and {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Zekrom}}, who sided with the younger. Sometime after the two brothers battled, Reshiram and Zekrom transformed into the [[Light Stone|Light]] and [[Dark Stone]]s, respectively.

==Origin==
The legend of the twin heroes parallels the Roman myth of {{wp|Romulus and Remus}}, two twins who founded the city of Rome. Likewise, the twin heroes built the Relic Castle, which became the center of civilization in Unova at least 2,500 years ago, much like Rome in real-life ancient Europe. The twin heroes' disagreements leading to a fight also parallels the Roman myth.

'''Snivy''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ツタージャ''' ''Tsutarja'') is a {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Servine}} starting at level 17, which evolves into {{p|Serperior}} starting at level 36.

Along with {{p|Tepig}} and {{p|Oshawott}}, Snivy is one of the three [[Unova first partner Pokémon|first partner Pokémon of Unova]] available at the beginning of {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black, White}}, {{B2W2|Black 2, and White 2}}.

==Biology==
Snivy is a bipedal, reptilian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a slender build. Most of its body is green with a cream underside. A yellow stripe runs down the length of its back and tail and has yellow markings around its large eyes. Two curved yellow structures that resemble leaves or small wings protrude from its shoulders and bend backward. Its slender arms have three fingers, while its tiny feet have no digits. It has a large, palmate leaf with three prongs on the end of its tail.

This tail can perform photosynthesis, allowing Snivy to move more quickly and adding an edge to its moves. However, the tail will begin to droop when Snivy loses energy. Snivy can use its vines with incredible adaptive and dexterity skills, to make up for having short arms. This Pokémon has a calm, collected demeanor and is very intelligent. Snivy prefers to be alone and avoid groups whenever it can. It has been recently seen living in the [[Terarium]] of [[Blueberry Academy]].

===Evolution===
Snivy evolves into {{p|Servine}}, which evolves into {{p|Serperior}}.

====Major appearances====
=====[[Trip's Snivy]]=====
Snivy debuted in ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'', where [[Professor Juniper]] gave it to [[Trip]] as his [[first partner Pokémon]]. He was able to defeat [[Ash's Pikachu]] with {{m|Leaf Tornado}} in a {{pkmn|battle}} they had, due to Pikachu being unable to use {{type|Electric}} attacks at the time. Eventually, when {{Ash}} and Trip met again in ''[[BW010|A Rival Battle for Club Champ!]]'', his Snivy had evolved into Servine.

=====[[Ash's Snivy]]=====
{{Ash}}'s Snivy debuted in ''[[BW007|Snivy Plays Hard to Catch!]]''. She knows {{m|Attract}}, much to the dismay of Ash, who kept trying to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} her, but would fail because most of his team was male. She was defeated by {{AP|Pidove}} due to both of them having the same gender, and Ash successfully caught her.

=====Other=====
In ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'', Professor Juniper offered a Snivy for [[Nanette]] as a [[first partner Pokémon]]. However, she chose {{p|Tepig}} instead.

While talking on the phone to [[Fennel]], {{p|Tepig}} spilled some [[Berry Juice]] on Snivy, causing him to fight with [[Tep]]ig. Eventually, Oshawott joined in on the commotion until the three first partner Pokémon had managed to make a mess of her office, after which Juniper returned them to their {{i|Poké Ball}}s, commenting that she was worried that the three might be too much for their future Trainers. Snivy was given to {{adv|Cheren}} by {{adv|Bianca}} because she thought he resembled him. He first appeared in ''[[PS461|Fussing and Fighting]]''.

Professor [[Cedric Juniper]]'s Snivy was supposed to be given to new Trainers but was liberated by {{adv|N}}. Snivy went with N, and evolved into a Servine while with N, and was then given to {{adv|White}}. She first appeared in ''[[PS479|The Case of the Missing Pokémon]]''.

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

'''NA''': ''Along with Ekans and Onyx{{sic}}, this Pokémon is considered to be a snake Pokémon, even though it has two legs. When it evolves into Serperior, however, it sheds those legs. In Smash Bros., Snivy unleashes Razor Leaf on fighters, sending sharp leaves flying and damaging anything in range.''

'''PAL''': ''Like Ekans and Onix, Snivy is known as a snake Pokémon. Unlike those Pokémon, it has two legs. When it eventually evolves into Serperior, though, it loses them. It attacks using Razor Leaf, which sends super sharp leaves flying into fighters in front of it, potentially hitting them over and over again. ''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Snivy returns as a Pokémon summoned from the Poké Ball, retaining its behavior from the previous game.

Snivy appears as one of the [[player character]]s in [[PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond]]. She is the daughter of Queen {{p|Serperior}}, which makes her Princess of the [[Arbor Area]]. Much to her mother's dismay, she is quite rambunctious and prefers playing and getting dirty than being elegant and proper. Upon hearing of {{OBP|Pikachu|PokéPark}} and {{p|Oshawott}}'s task to save the PokéPark, she helps them to open the portal in the Arbor Zone, on the condition that they take her with them. Her special skill is the ability to jump higher than the other player characters.

Snivy is also playable in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity}}. The player may either choose to be transformed into Snivy, or have the {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Mystery Dungeon|partner}} be one. The same also applies to {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:PokéSun May09 10.png|thumb|The three silhouettes on [[Pokémon Sunday]]]]
{{bulbanews|Gotta Meme 'em All: Genetics and Smugleaf}}
* Snivy and the other {{2v2|Black|White}} [[first partner Pokémon]] were first revealed as silhouettes on the May 9, 2010 episode of [[Pokémon Sunday]]. They were later revealed in full in the June 2010 issue of [[CoroCoro]].
* Shortly after its release, much like many other [[Generation V]] Pokémon newly introduced, Snivy received the fan-made moniker, "Smugleaf". This name was picked up on and published in an article on the video gaming-focused blog [http://kotaku.com/5538319/pokemons-smugleaf-a-meme-in-the-making/ Kotaku] and later in an issue of [[Media:NZAU Magazine Scan.jpg|Official Nintendo Magazine Australia and New Zealand]], as well as its United Kingdom counterpart.
* Snivy is the only {{type|Grass}} first partner Pokémon that is not listed as the first Pokémon in its [[regional Pokédex]], although it is still marked as #001; this is because {{p|Victini}}, the Pokémon before it, has a Pokédex number of #000. It is also the only Grass-type first partner Pokémon that is not the first Pokémon of its generation in [[National Pokédex]] order.
* Snivy has the lowest base stat total of all {{type|Grass}} first partner Pokémon.
* In {{g|Black and White}}, Snivy, along with {{p|Tepig}} and {{p|Oshawott}}, has the lowest [[experience]] yield of all Pokémon, with a base value of 28. This was done specifically for the first two battles of the games, so the player's first partner Pokémon wouldn't level up after defeating [[Bianca]] and thus have a level advantage over [[Cheren]].
** From {{B2W2}} onward, their base experience yield was raised to 62 to bring them in line with the other [[first partner Pokémon]] in the series.
* Snivy was designed by [[Reiko Tanoue]].<ref name=Pokebeach>[http://raim2005.blog18.fc2.com/blog-entry-911.html Pokémon Peer interview] ([http://pokebeach.com/2010/09/pokemon-peer-interview-translations Translation by Pokebeach]; note that in this translation, her name is incorrectly transliterated as "Tagami".)</ref>

===Origin===
Snivy is based on a {{wp|snake}}. Designer Reiko Tanoue mentioned that the idea for Snivy's design came from a picture book which mentions snakes that have the appearance of vines;<ref name=Pokebeach/> the specific snake may be the {{wp|vine snake}}, {{wp|tree snake}}, or {{wp|Opheodrys|green snake}}. Unlike real snakes, Snivy was designed with arms and legs to make it appear non-threatening, so as to not put off players; it gradually becomes more snake-like as it evolves.<ref name=ND201>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 201, January 2011 ([http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-3/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref> Additionally, some of Snivy's features may be inspired by {{wp|legless lizard}}s, {{wp|grass lizard}}s, {{wp|Asian grass lizard}}s, or {{wp|skinks}}. The shape of Snivy's head, body, and the protrusions on its shoulders may be based on the {{wp|Strelitzia|bird of paradise}} or {{wp|Heliconia|false bird of paradise}} flowers.

[[Ken Sugimori]] has said that Snivy, {{p|Servine}}, and {{p|Serperior}} are based on Western culture, specifically mentioning the manga series ''{{wp|The Rose of Versailles}}'' as an inspiration.<ref name=Pokebeach/><ref name=ND201/> Snivy, {{p|Tepig}}, and {{p|Oshawott}}'s evolutionary lines are collectively based on Western, Chinese, and Japanese culture respectively, to represent the diversity of the [[Unova]] region.<ref name=ND201/>

====Name origin====
Snivy may be a combination of ''snake'' and ''ivy''. It may also involve ''snide'', ''sly'', ''snark'' (a snide remark), or ''snicker'' (a sly or snide laugh).

Tsutarja is a combination of 蔦 ''tsuta'' ({{wp|Parthenocissus tricuspidata|Japanese creeper}}) and 蛇 ''ja'' (snake).<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20101230153448/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>

'''Rockapheller''' (also known as ''Brandt'') is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] who travels across all the [[region]]s in the [[Pokémon world]] through [[Pokémon anime]], [[Pokémon games]] and [[Pokémon manga]] in order to [[Pokémon training|train]] [[Pokémon (species)|Pokémon]] and compete at the [[Pokémon League]], or engage with [[Myths and legends involving Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|the legends and myths]], as well as trainers of every [[region]] in order to understand the nature of Pokémon, people, world and the franchise as a whole.

== Pokémon teams ==

=== Brandt ===

: ''For all the teams with used by Brandt and further information, see [[User:Rockapheller/Brandt|Brandt]]''

In March 2018, I have started to record all my Pokémon teams on each of my playthrough. '''Brandt''' is the original persona that I have been using for my initial playthroughs ever since. He typically catches Pokémon that are introduced in the generation of its game. For example, he would use only [[Generation V]] Pokémon in any Generation V game. The exception is when the Pokémon has an [[evolution]] or a new form that are introduced in that generation. The most remarkable example being [[Mega Evolution]]s being introduced in [[Generation VI]].

=== Brandy ===

: ''For all the teams with used by Brandy and further information, see [[User:Rockapheller/Brandy|Brandy]]''

'''Brandy''' is the female counterpart to Brandt. She typically follows the same rules as Brandt while making up her teams. Additionally, she tends to ignore the Pokémon that Brandt has trained already, and instead chooses different species.

=== City names ===

: ''For all the teams with the city name theme and further information, see [[User:Rockapheller/City names|City names]]''

The [[player character]]s are named after cities, and their regular members on the [[party]] are nicknamed after a specific theme. For instance, the player character in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] is named ''Athens'' due to the theme of the game. The regular members on Athens's teams are nicknamed after Greek gods and goddesses. Unlike the previous playthrough patterns, during the city name runs, the Pokémon teams are not restricted to the corresponding generation of the game. The only rule is to prevent using the same Pokémon that have been used before.

== Laidback missions ==

'''Laidback missions''' refer to minor missions that I repeat on a daily basis until I reach my goal. These missions often contain finding a rare form of a Pokémon which would take a lot of time when done at once. The ultimate goal is to complete my [[Living Pokédex]] which I had completed once before the release of [[Generation VIII]] games [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].

== [[Living Pokédex]] ==

I have completed a Living Pokédex after the release of [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]] by using [[Pokémon X and Y|Pokémon X]], [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby]], and [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Sun]]. After the release of [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], I have been trying to keep up with it, although some of the newly released Pokémon have yet to be added. At the moment, all the Pokémon are stored in [[Pokémon HOME]]. Initially, none of the Pokémon were meant to have all their various forms, but after the release of [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], I have decided to find the missing forms as much as possible. The search still continues to this day.

=== Games ===

[[File:Slateport City Mt Chimney artwork.png|thumb|280px|Hoenn artwork from Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]

* My first game is one of original [[Hoenn]] games that I started playing in 2005, but I don't remember which version it was. I stopped playing the game very early, because I didn't like the [[region]] back then.
** The first game I completed is [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Pokémon FireRed]].
** My favorite set of games are [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]].
* I have completed a [[Living Pokédex]] in early 2018.
* My longest [[Pokémon battle]] has been against [[Pokémon Champion|Champion]] [[Wallace]] in {{v|Emerald}}, lasting around 1 hour.
* The first game version I played without knowing any species outside of the ones revealed in the official trailers is [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet]].

==== Gameplay ====

[[File:Green Mega Blastoise Evolutions.png|thumb|280px|A Mega evolved Blastoise]]

* I never leave my [[first partner Pokémon]].
* I catch the "national bird" Pokémon and keep them on my team until the end unless I already had trained one in another version before.
* There are no types that I never trained.{{tt|*|Stats below contain my teams that I started recording since March 2018}}
** My most trained type is {{t|Normal}}, with 24.
** My least trained type is {{t|Steel}}, with 6.
* I only play with the Pokémon that debut in the generation of its game, unless the generation introduces a new evolution or form to the species.
* Until [[Generation VI]] games, I would have my Pokémon either with a beneficial or ineffective nature. This rule is broken from [[Pokémon X and Y|Pokémon X]] and onwards due to arguably easiness of the games.
* I keep the level of my Pokémon on my team as close as possible.
* [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Alpha Sapphire]] has the only team which defeated the league first time with less than 6 Pokémon in the party.
** [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Alpha Sapphire]] is also the only team which contains a [[Mythical Pokémon]] in the regular party.
* I don't necessarily choose the gender of a specific Pokémon.
** [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold of Brandy]], [[Pokémon X and Y|X of Brandt]] and [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Violet of Brandt]] have the teams that coincidentally consist of the same gender Pokémon.
** Out of 22 [[first partner Pokémon]], only 4, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, [[Partner Pokémon|Partner Eevee]] and {{p|Decidueye}}, are female.
** So far, 13 teams of mine are male-oriented, 6 teams are female-oriented, 4 teams are equally distributed.
** Out of 126 Pokémon, 77 are male, 46 are female, 10 are genderless.
*** 7 genderless Pokémon are [[Legendary Pokémon|Legendary]].
*** 1 genderless Pokémon is [[Mythical Pokémon|Mythical]].
*** 1 genderless Pokémon is an [[Ultra Beast]].
* {{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Blastoise}} are the only Pokémon that I trained for more than one [[party]].
** {{p|Typhlosion}}, {{p|Braviary}}, and {{p|Zoroark}} are also trained twice, but with different [[List of Pokémon with form differences|form]]s.
* {{p|Golduck}} in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] is the only [[shiny Pokémon]] to be a regular member of the party.

'''Totodile''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ワニノコ''' ''Waninoko'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Croconaw}} starting at [[level]] 18, which evolves into {{p|Feraligatr}} starting at level 30.

Along with {{p|Chikorita}} and {{p|Cyndaquil}}, Totodile is one of the three [[Johto first partner Pokémon|first partner Pokémon of Johto]] available at the beginning of {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Sleep Style 0158-1.png|thumb|left|200px|Totodile sleeps with one eye open]]
Totodile is a bipedal, {{wp|Crocodylia|crocodilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with well-developed jaws. It has red eyes with ridges above them, black markings around its eyes, and several sharp teeth. On its chest is a yellow, V-shaped marking that extends to its arms; there is a thin line through the center of the marking. Totodile has five fingers and three toes. Down its back is a row of three red spines with a small, red ridge on either side. The tip of its tail has a single red spine as well.

Totodile tends to be both playful and rough by nature and has a habit of biting anything it sees, including its {{pkmn|Trainer}}. Despite its size, Totodile's jaws are capable of crushing anything, so it sometimes causes serious injuries. Turning one's back on Totodile is considered to be a bad idea as it can bite without warning. Totodile are scarce in the wild, though it can be found around bodies of water like {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|rivers, ponds, and lakes}}. It has been recently seen living in the [[Terarium]] of [[Blueberry Academy]]. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Totodile and its 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}}. This practice is hypothesized to be a defense mechanism against enemy attacks.

===Evolution===
Totodile evolves into {{p|Croconaw}}, which evolves into {{p|Feraligatr}}.

''"Little but feisty is the best description for these Water-type Pokémon. The first thing they do when they see something move is latch onto it with their powerful jaws. Totodile was one of the three Pokémon that [[Professor Elm]] offered to Trainers in [[Generation II|Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal]]. They evolve into {{p|Croconaw}}."''

====Brawl trophy information====
''"A Big Jaw Pokémon. This alligator-like Pokémon stands on two legs. It has a small body but an impressive jaw that boasts potent bite power. It can do serious damage to someone even if it's just playing. Its tendency to chomp down on anything that moves in front of it means Trainers have to be extra cautious around it. When it levels up, it evolves into Croconaw."''

==={{DetPikMov}}===
A Totodile appeared in {{DetPikMov}}.

==Trivia==

===Origin===
Totodile appears to be based on a baby {{wp|Crocodilia|crocodilian}}. The yellow marking on its chest may be a reference to the yellow stripes on young {{wp|American alligator}}s. In {{g|Sleep}}, Totodile and its [[evolution]]s are revealed to sleep with one eye open, just like real-life crocodiles. The crest on Totodile's back is similar to the {{wp|mohawk}} hairstyle which may allude to Totodile's boisterous personality.

====Name origin====
Totodile may be a combination of ''tot'' and ''{{wp|crocodile}}''.

Waninoko may be taken to mean 鰐の子 ''wani no ko'' (child of a crocodile/{{wp|alligator}}).

'''Dawn's Piplup''' (Japanese: '''ヒカリのポッチャマ''' ''Hikari's Pochama'') was the [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]] that {{an|Dawn}} obtained at the beginning of her travels in [[Sinnoh]], given to her by [[Professor Rowan]]. Piplup travels [[Walking Pokémon|outside]] his {{i|Poké Ball}}.

==In the anime==
===History===
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''====
[[File:Dawn choosing Piplup.png|thumb|220px|left|Piplup being picked to be Dawn's [[first partner Pokémon]]]]
Piplup debuted in ''[[DP001|Following A Maiden's Voyage!]]'', where he got into a fight with the {{p|Chimchar}} after it stole the last of his {{pkmn|food}}. He caused chaos by using {{m|Bubble Beam}} inside [[Professor Rowan]]'s lab and then fled in hot pursuit of the {{type|Fire}} Pokémon. While chasing Chimchar, Piplup got stuck in a web that was weaved by an {{p|Ariados}}. Seeing the situation, {{an|Dawn}}, who had been tasked with finding the runaway Pokémon, devised a plan to make Ariados destroy its own web, freeing Piplup and making him land safely in her arms. However, Ariados returned accompanied by several of its species and attacked them, leading Dawn and Piplup to work as a team to escape from the attack. Having fought the {{pkmn2|wild}} Ariados off and returned to the lab, Dawn chose Piplup as her first Pokémon saying their {{pkmn|journey}} together had already begun.

In ''[[DP004|Dawn Of A New Era!]]'', Piplup battled [[Nando's Budew]]. He started the {{pkmn|battle}} with a {{m|Peck}} attack but {{p|Budew}} dodged easily and used {{m|Bullet Seed}}. He managed to avoid the glowing yellow seeds and use Bubble Beam, getting a clean hit. However, the {{type|Water}} [[move]] had little effect on the Bud Pokémon. When [[Nando]] ordered Budew to use {{m|Solar Beam}}, Dawn thought the move would take a while to charge and had Piplup using Peck. To her surprise, the {{m|Sunny Day}} Budew used before the battle was still in effect and Solar Beam charged immediately, hitting Piplup and rendering him [[Fainting|unable to battle]].

In ''[[DP007|Like It or Lup It!]]'', Piplup started practicing for the upcoming [[Jubilife City]] [[Pokémon Contest]]. He had a hard time using Bubble Beam while spinning around in the air, getting dizzy, and falling to the ground in each of his attempts. However, after being motivated by Dawn when helping a group of Water-type Pokémon that had their food stolen by {{TRT}}, he managed to perfect the technique. During ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'', this technique was used again as a variation of [[Counter Shield]] in ''[[BW086|Piplup, Pansage, and a Meeting of the Times!]]''.

Piplup made his stage debut in ''[[DP011|Mounting a Coordinator Assault!]]'', where he was used in the Performance Stage of the Jubilife Contest. He came out of a [[Seal|Foamy Seal]] and used Bubble Beam to keep the bubbles from the Seal suspended in the air before storing up energy for a Peck. The stored energy made his beak extend and he used the {{type|Flying}} attack to explode all the bubbles. With this simple yet remarkable performance, Piplup managed to advance Dawn to the [[Contest Battle]]s.

In ''[[DP026|Getting the Pre-Contest Titters!]]'', Piplup learned {{m|Whirlpool}} upon seeing Team Rocket escaping with [[Kenny's Prinplup]]. He used the new move to absorb {{TP|James|Cacnea}}'s {{m|Pin Missile}}, {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}}'s {{m|Psybeam}}, and {{TP|James|Carnivine}}'s {{m|Bullet Seed}} before launching it towards them, restoring {{p|Prinplup}}'s energy and allowing it to free itself. After that, he and Prinplup forgot the rivalry they started earlier in the episode and became friends, working together to send Team Rocket blasting off again.

[[File:Dawn with Piplup.png|thumb|220px|With Dawn at the Jubilife Contest]]
In ''[[DP027|Settling a Not-So-Old Score!]]'', Piplup was used in the Battle Stage of the {{to|Floaroma}} Contest. His first battle in the event was against [[Jessie]]'s {{p|Dustox}}, during which he used {{m|Bide}} to return double the damage he took from {{m|Poison Sting}} before knocking the Poison Moth Pokémon out with a Peck attack. After that he was seen defeating a {{p|Bagon}} to advance to the finals of the competition. There he went up against {{si|Kenny}}'s Prinplup. They both used Bubble Beam to start the battle and their moves collided in the center of [[Contest Hall|the stadium]], creating a shower of sparkles. Piplup proceeded with Peck but Prinplup intercepted with {{m|Metal Claw}}, catching and tossing him into the air. Prinplup then used {{m|Drill Peck}} and Piplup countered the attack with Bide. After recovering, Prinplup used Metal Claw but Piplup dodged and used Whirlpool. The large water vortex engulfed Prinplup, costing Kenny precious points, but was ultimately destroyed by a powerful Bubble Beam. Prinplup followed with {{m|Mist}} to cloak the stage before using Drill Peck and Piplup answered with another Whirlpool. The two Pokémon jumped into the vortex and faced off inside it, with Piplup using Peck and Prinplup using Metal Claw. They then used Bubble Beam again and the time ran out. Piplup won the match by points, giving Dawn her first [[Ribbon]].

In ''[[DP033|All Dressed Up With Somewhere To Go!]]'', Dawn entered Piplup as a {{p|Weedle}} in the [[Pokémon Dress-Up Contest]], an annual competition organized by the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] where Pokémon try to imitate other Pokémon. During his impression, Piplup got a little too excited and used Bubble Beam, a move Weedle cannot learn, thus ruining his chances of winning the event.

In ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]'', Dawn learned from [[Zoey]] that the {{ci|Hearthome}} Contest was going to be held under the [[Double Performance]] rule. She paired up Piplup and {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} in order to train for this kind of performance and develop some new [[Contest combination]]s. She told Pachirisu to use {{m|Sweet Kiss}} and Piplup to use Whirlpool, but things didn't go quite as planned as the large whirlpool covered all the hearts from the Sweet Kiss. She also tried to combine Whirlpool and {{m|Discharge}}, but Pachirisu's Discharge was too powerful and it evaporated Piplup's Whirlpool.

In ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night!]]'', Piplup was used in the Performance Stage of the Hearthome City Pokémon Contest along with Pachirisu. He used Bubble Beam to encase the hearts of Pachirisu's Sweet Kiss and his Whirlpool was dissipated in a flash of sparkles by Pachirisu's Discharge. Their performance received positive reviews from the [[Contest Judge]]s but it wasn't impressive enough to advance Dawn to the Contest Battles.

In ''[[DP050|Tag! We're It...!]]'', Piplup was seen battling alongside [[Conway]]'s {{p|Slowking}} against {{OBP|Giant|DP050}}'s {{p|Koffing}} and his partner's {{p|Scyther}} in the first round of the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]]. Together they defeated their opponents and advanced their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s to the second round.

In ''[[DP063|Hot Springing a Leak!]]'', Piplup battled alongside [[Leona]]'s {{p|Swinub}} against [[Ash's Chimchar]] and [[Brock's Sudowoodo]]. The battle ended in a draw when all four Pokémon were {{status|freeze|frozen solid}}. In ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]'', he battled [[Roman]]'s {{p|Girafarig}} and [[Kylie]]'s {{p|Drifloon}} along with [[May's Blaziken]] in the [[Seven Stars Restaurant]] [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] challenge. Using a combination of Bubble Beam and {{m|Fire Spin}} that trapped their opponents inside it, they were able to win the battle.

Piplup was used twice in the [[Wallace Cup]] battling stage. He was first used to battle {{si|Kyle}}'s {{p|Crawdaunt}} in the semifinal round. Their battle began in ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'' with a collision of Bubble Beam and {{m|Sludge Bomb}} that cost their {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s some points. As the battle continued in the [[DP079|following episode]], the two Pokémon jumped in the pool and charged at each other, with Piplup using his Whirlpool to trap Crawdaunt in a vortex. However, his move was taken advantage of when Crawdaunt used {{m|Surf}}, sending him backwards. Crawdaunt proceeded with {{m|Dark Pulse}}, but Piplup avoided the attack with his spinning dodge technique and used Bide to absorb the energy from the two purple beams. When Crawdaunt jumped in the air to strike Piplup with a {{m|Crabhammer}}, Piplup released the absorbed energy, hitting the Rogue Pokémon and causing it to fall into the water just as the time ran out. Piplup won the battle on points, allowing Dawn to advance to the final round.
[[File:Piplup versus Glaceon.png|thumb|220px|left|Battling May's Glaceon]]
Dawn used Piplup again in the finals of the Wallace Cup, where he went up against [[May's Glaceon]]. He started with Bubble Beam, but the {{type|Ice}} Pokémon dodged and used {{m|Secret Power}}, {{status|paralysis|paralyzing}} him. The battle proceeded with Glaceon using {{m|Ice Shard}}, which hit the paralyzed Piplup hard. After that, Piplup jumped in the pool to get rid of the paralysis. When out of the water, he used Whirlpool, but Glaceon received the attack with {{m|Mirror Coat}} and returned it to him, sending him flying backwards. Piplup quickly recovered and used Bubble Beam again, this time hitting Glaceon. When the Fresh Snow Pokémon used {{m|Shadow Ball}}, Piplup spun and dodged it. Glaceon then decided to take advantage of the water covering the stage and attack with Secret Power to try and put Piplup to {{status|sleep}}. Despite being hit and sent flying in the air, Piplup was able to spin gracefully and land in a pose, rendering Glaceon's attack unsuccessful. Glaceon fired another Shadow Ball but Piplup used Bubble Beam once more, destroying it. Piplup followed with Peck, but Glaceon dodged and used Ice Shard. The icy projectiles did not hit Piplup, though, as he used Whirlpool to defend himself. With only one minute left on the clock, Dawn and {{an|May}} had the same amount of points. Piplup then charged at Glaceon surfing in his own Whirlpool. Before Piplup could reach it, Glaceon used Shadow Ball to destroy the Whirlpool, creating a curtain of water. Taking advantage of the situation, Piplup came out from behind the curtain and used Bubble Beam, surprising Glaceon, who then used another Shadow Ball. Piplup destroyed the shadowy blob with a Peck attack, creating a dark purple curtain. This time, it was Glaceon who took advantage of the curtain, using Ice Shard to strike Piplup. Piplup used Whirlpool one last time, and Glaceon again countered with Mirror Coat. Both Pokémon were hit by the water from the Whirlpool and the time ran out. Piplup won the match by points, breaking Dawn's [[DP049|losing]] [[DP061|streak]] and giving her the {{DL|Ribbon|Aqua Ribbon}}, her second {{pkmn|Contest}} [[Ribbon]] overall.
[[File:Dawn Piplup no evolution.png|thumb|250px|Using Bide to prevent Evolution]]
In ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love!]]'', when Piplup was about to train with {{cat|Dawn's Pokémon|Dawn's other Pokémon}}, he collapsed from exhaustion, worrying his Trainer. Soon after, he started to [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Prinplup}}. However, he used Bide to stop the process and collapsed again. As a result, {{an|Brock}} rushed him to the [[Pokémon Center]], where [[Nurse Joy]] explained he just needed some rest. Later, when Dawn talked to him, he started evolving again. She told him to let it happen this time, but he used Bide to discontinue the process. As she questioned his motives and spoke to him about the benefits of evolving, he got angry and fled the room. Dawn followed him through the woods, but he kept running away from her, angry at her for not understanding his unwillingness to evolve. While running, he got caught in a web. Dawn tried to help him, but an Ariados appeared and attacked her. The attack destroyed the web and freed Piplup, who landed in Dawn's arms. After that, several Ariados appeared and attacked them with {{m|Hyper Beam}}, but Piplup used Bide to send them flying, just like the day he and Dawn first met. Making matters worse, Team Rocket appeared and captured Piplup. While trying to retrieve her Pokémon, Dawn learned that past events have motivated Piplup to stay the way he is. This made Dawn realize that on the day she chose Piplup, he chose her as well. After sending Team Rocket blasting off, they returned to the Pokémon Center, where Nurse Joy gave Dawn an [[Everstone]] to prevent Piplup's evolution for as long as he wants.

In ''[[DP137|Three Sides to Every Story!]]'', Piplup fell in love with {{OBP|Lulu|DP137}}'s {{p|Marill}}. However, a wild {{p|Elekid}} was also competing for its affections. When the three Pokémon got separated from Dawn and the others, Piplup tried to help Marill, but Elekid seemed to gain the upper hand. When Team Rocket appeared and captured Marill, both Piplup and Elekid worked together to save it. Once Marill was saved, it decided to go with Elekid, leaving Piplup brokenhearted.

In ''[[DP138|Strategy Begins at Home!]]'', Piplup was used alongside Pachirisu in a [[Double Battle]] against [[Johanna's Glameow]] and {{p|Umbreon}}. They started the battle by using a combination of Whirlpool and Discharge. However, the combination didn't last long as [[Johanna]]'s Pokémon were able to gracefully dodge it with a double {{m|Quick Attack}} and destroy it with a double Shadow Ball. After that, Dawn had Piplup use Bubble Beam, but Glameow and Umbreon dodged again. This was part of Dawn's plan, though, as Bubble Beam was meant to build a barrier of bubbles and hide Pachirisu. When Pachirisu came out from behind the barrier, it caught Glameow and Umbreon by surprise and attacked them with a spinning {{m|Super Fang}}. Johanna's Pokémon quickly fought back with a double {{m|Attract}}, {{status|infatuation|infatuating}} both Pachirisu and Piplup before attacking them with a double {{m|Swift}} and knocking them out.

[[File:Piplup Buneary Daybreak Contest.png|thumb|250px|left|At the Daybreak Contest with Buneary]]
In ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]'', Piplup was used to battle {{an|Lyra}}'s {{p|Chikorita}} in the [[Johto Festival]] battling exhibition. Despite the [[type]] disadvantage, he was still able to defeat the {{pkmn|category|Leaf Pokémon}}, earning Dawn a [[Pokémon Egg]].

In ''[[DP146|Dressed for Jess Success!]]'', Piplup was used in the Performance Stage of the [[Lilypad Town]] Pokémon Contest. For his performance, he used Whirlpool and then Bide. His Whirlpool came straight down on him and joined forces with Bide, causing him to glow an intense blue from the energy reaction. Judges praised his appeal and allowed Dawn to advance to the Battle Stage.

In ''[[DP161|Yes in Dee Dee, It's Dawn!]]'', Piplup teamed up with {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} to perform at the [[Daybreak Town]] Pokémon Contest, which was being held under the Double Performance rule. They finished a stunning performance by exploding the frozen bubbles and sending a shower of sparkles down to the crowd, assuring Dawn's progression to the next round.

In ''[[DP164|Piplup, Up and Away!]]'', Piplup kept getting hit by [[Ash's Gible]]'s then faulty {{m|Draco Meteor}}. He thought that Dawn was going to stick up for him, but when she didn't he decided he'd had enough and started to walk back to Professor Rowan's lab. Several times he imagined Dawn coming to comfort him, but he got even more discouraged when he found out she wasn't really there. At one point he came across Team Rocket, who were [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguised]] as Pokémon therapists, and told them his problem. They were very moved by his story, so much so that they scolded Dawn for not noticing Piplup's feelings. Later on, Piplup brought Pikachu over to Team Rocket, unaware of their plot to capture them both, which was successful until a wild {{p|Rhyperior}} came and freed them. Piplup then jumped into Dawn's arms and she apologized to him for not knowing how he felt, as did Ash. He then battled Team Rocket along with [[Ash's Grotle]], learning {{m|Hydro Pump}} in the process.

[[File:Piplup Togekiss DP177.png|thumb|250px|At the Grand Festival with Togekiss]]
As in the Wallace Cup, Piplup was used twice in the battling stage of the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]]. In ''[[DP176|Coming Full-Festival Circle!]]'', he was revealed to have helped Dawn defeat her quarterfinal round opponent with Pachirisu, thus allowing her to advance further in the competition. In ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]'', he went up against [[Zoey's Glameow]] and {{p|Gallade}} alongside {{TP|Dawn|Togekiss}} in the finals. Despite putting several techniques he perfected during his training sessions to good use and combining his moves with Togekiss's in many different ways, he was unable to earn Dawn the title of [[Top Coordinator]].

In ''[[DP186|Familiarity Breeds Strategy!]]'', Dawn gave Piplup a new cheering uniform for him to wear during Ash's [[Full Battle]] against [[Paul]] in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]].

In ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'', Piplup threw a tantrum and ran away from the group when he realized that Ash, Brock, and Pikachu were leaving, since he couldn't accept the fact. However, Dawn and everyone else consoled him saying they would always be friends to the end.

In [[DPS01]], he was used to battle Johanna's Glameow and Umbreon alongside {{TP|Dawn|Cyndaquil}}. However, when they unleashed their Whirlpool-{{m|Flame Wheel}} combination, the battle had to be stopped due to their fighting.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''====
[[File:Dawn Piplup and Ash Oshawott.png|thumb|250px|left|Piplup's rivalry with Ash's Oshawott]]
Piplup accompanied Dawn to [[Unova]] prior to ''[[BW085|All for the Love of Meloetta!]]''. In [[BW086|the following episode]], he was able to reunite with {{Ash}} and meet {{an|Iris}}, {{an|Cilan}}, and his new object of affection—a {{an|Meloetta}} that had been following Ash's group since they were in [[Virbank City]]. He also socialized with all of the group's other Pokémon when they were brought out of their {{i|Poké Ball}}s, and found a rival in [[Ash's Oshawott]], who had feelings for Meloetta too. Later on, he had a battle with [[Cilan's Pansage]], during which he used {{m|Drill Peck}} to send Pansage's {{m|Bullet Seed}} back at him. When the Grass Monkey Pokémon used {{m|Rock Tomb}}, he negated the move using a variation of [[Counter Shield]]. After that, Pansage used {{m|Solar Beam}}, but Piplup countered with {{m|Ice Beam}}. As the two beams collided, they rose into the sky and exploded, creating a beautiful fireworks display. This left Meloetta greatly impressed, causing it to disrupt the battle and start dancing with Piplup.

In ''[[BW090|Jostling for the Junior Cup!]]'', Piplup was used in the first round of the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]], going up against [[Ramone]]'s {{p|Stoutland}}. Using Drill Peck, he was able to defeat his opponent, thus allowing Dawn to proceed to the second round.

In ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]'', Piplup grew sad while saying goodbye to Meloetta before leaving for [[Johto]] with Dawn. Oshawott then confronted him one more time, but their contempt soon turned into sadness and they bade each other a teary farewell. After that, Piplup jumped onto the plane and departed.

He reappeared in a fantasy in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
[[File:Dawn and Chloe battling.png|thumb|250px|Piplup and Dawn joining forces with Eevee and Chloe]]
Piplup appeared in ''[[JN074|Nightfall? Nightmares!]]'' and ''[[JN075|A Midsummer Night's Light!]]'' with Dawn in Sinnoh, where he helped to protect a {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Cresselia}} from Team Rocket.

In ''[[JN089|The Gates of Warp!]]'', Piplup was taken away by [[Alternate World Dawn]], but he was reunited with his real Trainer when she later entered the Alternate World as well. In ''[[JN090|Showdown at the Gates of Warp!]]'', Piplup was reverted into an {{pkmn|Egg}} as a result of a clash between {{OBP|Dialga|recurring}} and {{OBP|Palkia|recurring}} distorting time. After {{p|Arceus}} stopped the fight between Dialga and Palkia, the {{pkmn|category|Temporal and Spatial Pokémon}} repaired the distortions their fighting had caused and restored all the devolved Pokémon back to normal.

In ''[[JNS03|The Arceus Chronicles (Part 3)]]'', Piplup helped in an attempt to stop a rampaging {{p|Heatran}} from reaching [[Spear Pillar]].

Piplup appeared in a flashback in ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]''.

In ''[[JN129|A Flood of Torrential Gains!]]'' to ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Piplup and Dawn traveled to [[Wyndon]] to watch Ash's [[Masters Eight Tournament]] match against {{an|Leon}}.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Dawn Piplup angry.png|thumb|250px|left|Piplup getting ready to lose his temper]]
Piplup initially would not accept food from {{an|Dawn}}; as described in the [[Pokédex]], Piplup as a {{p|Piplup|species}} is very proud and dislike accepting food from [[human|people]]. However, he seems to have a large appetite for [[Pokémon food]] and does not like having any taken away from him. He shows signs of having a short temper, frequently getting into disagreements with other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and his {{pkmn|Trainer}}. One of his distinguishing traits is his tendency to lose it when things go wrong, such as when a {{p|Chimchar}} stole the last of his food in ''[[DP001|Following A Maiden's Voyage!]]'', when he repeatedly missed out on eating a [[Berry]] and started a fight with a {{p|Shinx}} in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', or when Dawn said [[Ash's Gible]] did not have ill intent when he was practicing his {{m|Draco Meteor}} in ''[[DP164|Piplup, Up and Away!]]''.

Despite his prideful and fierce attitude, Piplup was fairly weak at first, being easily defeated by [[Nando's Budew]] in his first {{pkmn|battle}}. He has grown in strength since then, helping Dawn {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} a {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} in ''[[DP009|Setting the World on Its Buneary!]]'' and a {{AP|Buizel}} in ''[[DP034|Buizel Your Way Out Of This!]]''. As time passed, Piplup became Dawn's most used Pokémon in battle, as he became one of her strongest and best Pokémon.
[[File:Dawn Piplup costume.png|thumb|250px|Piplup in his cheer outfit]]
Piplup is Dawn's main battling partner, being used more than any of {{cat|Dawn's Pokémon|her other Pokémon}} and having helped her win her first two {{pkmn|Contest}} [[Ribbon]]s in the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]]. He seems to be very competitive and will always try to overcome the odds to impress Dawn and get her fullest attention. He often wants to be the first one to start an event for Dawn, which has been successful, but there have been times that he didn't, which upsets him. However, despite this, Piplup has shown to be understanding and would often support his teammates in Pokémon Contests.

In ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]'', Piplup was shown to be quite adamant and overconfident. He even tried to stop {{TP|Dawn|Piloswine}} from charging. However, each attempt resulted in him being launched into the sky and knocked out. Despite this, he would get straight back up on his feet even when completely knocked out. He tried again when {{p|Piloswine}} had already evolved into {{p|Mamoswine}}, but the result was the same. Despite this, Piplup does commonly try to peacefully talk to enemies, rather than just attacking them, as seen in ''[[DP087|The Psyduck Stops Here!]]''.
[[File:Dawn and Piplup.png|thumb|250px|left|Piplup and Dawn]]
It has been shown that Dawn and Piplup have a [[Friendship|close bond]] with each other. In ''[[DP077|Staging a Heroes' Welcome!]]'', he helped Dawn recover her confidence by shooting {{m|Bubble Beam}} at her face. Two episodes later, in ''[[DP079|Strategy with a Smile!]]'', he barely edged out [[May's Glaceon]] by only half a point to help Dawn win the {{DL|Ribbon|Aqua Ribbon}}. Piplup's close bond with Dawn is one of the main reasons he refused to [[evolve]] in ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love!]]'', along with also wanting to become stronger as a Piplup. Also, in the same episode, Dawn was given an [[Everstone]] by the [[Sandalstraw Town]]'s [[Nurse Joy]] so Piplup won’t ever have to evolve, as he was using {{m|Bide}} to prevent his evolution.
[[File:Ash Pikachu and Dawn Piplup.png|thumb|250px|Piplup and Ash's Pikachu]]
Piplup has a close relationship with [[Ash's Pikachu]], as they are often seen hanging out together. Throughout their time traveling together, Piplup would spar against Pikachu as part of their training, even though what they do is different because the Mouse Pokémon focuses in battling Gyms while the latter focuses on showing off his moves in Pokémon contests. Despite this, Piplup and Pikachu seem to take inspiration from each other, which has help them in their goals for their Trainers. However, when it was time to part ways with Pikachu in ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'', Piplup was upset in being separated from him, but cheered up with the help of his friends.
[[File:Piplup Cyndaquil rivalry.png|thumb|250px|left|Piplup's rivalry with Cyndaquil]]
When [[Dawn's Cyndaquil]] joined the group and it was unresponsive to him when he tried to befriend it, Piplup developed a rivalry with the Fire Mouse Pokémon and spent a lot of time fighting. Piplup also gets jealous of the attention Cyndaquil gets from Dawn, as shown in ''[[DP144|Gone With the Windworks!]]'', when he got upset that his Trainer and friends were praising Cyndaquil in its effort in its first battle, even taking a [[Poffin]] that the Fire Mouse Pokémon was going to receive as a reward for its hard work. This was shown again in ''[[DP146|Dressed for Jess Success!]]'', when Piplup got upset that Dawn was comforting Cyndaquil when it attempted to show their Trainer that it wanted to be in [[Lilypad Town]] Pokémon Contest. However, Piplup's rivalry with Cyndaquil have stopped after it evolved into Quilava.

Ever since Ash's Gible made his debut in ''[[DP156|A Meteoric Rise to Excellence!]]'', Piplup has constantly been the target of his {{m|Draco Meteor}}, mostly by accident but considered a {{cat|Anime running gags|running gag}}. This event was expanded in ''[[DP164|Piplup, Up and Away!]]'', where Piplup ran away from {{ashfr|the group}} following another accidental attack. However, these events helped him learn {{m|Hydro Pump}}. Comically, it was implied in ''[[DP173|Dealing With a Fierce Double Ditto Drama!]]'' that Draco Meteor can be used to differentiate Piplup from other members of its species.

[[File:Dawn Piplup JN.png|thumb|230px|Piplup's redesign]]
* The [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia]] featured at the end of [[DP017]] is about Dawn's Piplup. He writes this {{wp|senryū}} about him: 「ポッチャマが　みずにとびこむ　ぽっちゃんと」 "''{{tt|Pochama|Piplup}} dives into the water with a splash.''"

* Piplup is the second Pokémon in the {{pkmn|anime}} to stop [[Evolution|evolving]] while the process was happening, the first being [[Ash's Bulbasaur]].
** During an interview with former director and storyboard artist of the [[Pokémon anime]], [[Masamitsu Hidaka]], he revealed that Dawn's Piplup would likely not [[Evolution|evolve]] very soon, referring to his {{p|Prinplup|evolved}} {{p|Empoleon|forms}} as "ugly" or not good for [[Pokémon Contests]].<ref>https://www.pokebeach.com/2008/07/second-pokemon-interview-with-masamitsu-hidaka-many-interesting-points</ref>
* Piplup was referenced by Ash in ''[[XY022|Going for the Gold!]]'', when he and his friends met a troop of many Piplup at the {{DL|Ambrette Town|Ambrette Aquarium}}. Ash recalled that Dawn's Piplup had been rather prideful and stubborn.

'''Elio''' (Japanese: '''ヨウ''' ''Yō'') is the male [[player character]] in {{game4|SMUSUM}}. His female counterpart is {{ga|Selene}}.

==Terminology==
'''Elio''' (Japanese: '''ヨウ''' ''Yō'') is the most commonly used name used for this character, including in promotional videos for Sun and Moon, in merchandise, and in the [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off game]] {{g|Masters EX}}. He is never directly named in the [[core series]] games or their manuals.

The promotional videos and the [[Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon Special Demo Version]] also refer to the character as '''Sun''' (Japanese: '''サン''' ''Sun''). Promotional videos and trailers for Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon refer to him as '''Ray''' (Japanese: '''コウタ''' ''Kouta'').

===Character profile===
Elio is the male player character in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon and because of this, he acts in the role of a silent protagonist like most other player characters in the series. Despite this, he can still make player based decisions, in most cases this will offer unique dialogue with certain characters responding or reacting in certain ways depending on how they're chosen. In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, [[Rotom Pokédex]] will act differently depending on how Elio interacts with it.

As the player character, Elio will interact with most of the game's cast, forming friendships and experience as he travels through Alola on her [[island challenge]]. He forms friendly [[rival]]ries with [[Hau]] and [[Gladion]], as well as a [[friend]]ship with [[Lillie]]. Elio inspires Hau and Lillie to improve on themselves, due to his skill level and kindness with Pokémon.

Elio's known relatives include his [[Mom (Alola)|mother]], and his unnamed father.{{sup/7|USUM}} Elio is native to the [[Kanto]] [[region]] and currently resides in Alola's {{rt|1|alola}} in the [[Hau'oli City]] Outskirts, with his mother and {{p|Meowth}}. [[Professor Kukui]] considers him and Lillie to be Elio's neighbor.<ref>[[Professor Kukui]], {{g|Sun and Moon}}:''"And that's how you met our new neighbor <player>, huh? He/She just got to Alola yesterday. Help him/her find his/her way around, yeah?"''</ref>

Elio, along with his female counterpart, Selene, and {{ga|Red}}, are the youngest core series protagonists with known ages at the time of being playable. Being at the age of eleven.

====Background and pre-game====
'''Website blurb:''' "''You will choose to be a hero or heroine in Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon, and you can name yourself whatever you'd like. The story begins right after your character has moved to the Alola region. No sooner have you arrived than your adventures begin to unfold, and you'll meet many people and Pokémon as you grow and learn.''"

Elio is an 11-year-old boy who recently moved from the [[Kanto]] [[region]] to [[Melemele Island]] in the [[Alola]] region. He moved to the region along with his {{al|Mom|mother}}. Elio exclusively appears as a [[player character]].

====Start of the island challenge====
Elio begins his adventure when [[Professor Kukui]] asks to see him. After grabbing his bag and hat, he walks with the professor to [[Iki Town]] to receive his [[first partner Pokémon]] from the island's [[island kahuna|kahuna]], [[Hala]]. Mistaking the young girl for the kahuna, he runs into [[Lillie]], who's {{p|Cosmog}}, [[Nebby]], has escaped her bag and gets attacked by {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Spearow}} on an [[Mahalo Trail|unsteady plank bridge]]. He quickly protects the Pokémon despite not having one of his own. After the bridge collapses, the island's [[guardian deities|guardian deity]], {{p|Tapu Koko}}, saves the two from falling. Elio quickly befriends Lillie and Nebby and the two proceed to walk back to Iki Town for Elio to choose his first Pokémon. After doing so, he gives the [[Sparkling Stone]] to Hala, receives a [[Pokédex]] from the professor, and meets [[Hau]], a [[rival]] who he be[[friend]]s and has battles with often. The following day, Professor Kukui teaches Elio how to become a proper Trainer. He battles Hau once again and is given a [[Z-Ring]] by Kahuna Hala, officially starting his [[island challenge]]. Professor Kukui then updates his Pokédex to the [[Rotom Pokédex]] with a Pokémon by the name of {{p|Rotom}}, who becomes a new friend and mentor for the young trainer. After Lillie and Kukui describe the functions of Rotom Dex, Hau comes into the Pokémon Research Lab and the three learn more about their [[island challenge]]. Elio then sets out to Alola's {{al|Trainers' School}} with Lillie, who helps helps care for and teach Elio about his Pokémon. Elio gets called to the principal's office (to which Lillie and Rotom jokingly tease him for) and graduates from the school. Elio begins walking to [[Hau'oli City]] with his new friends, discussing island life and the upcoming city. As soon as they get to the new city, the three explore the island, and Hau drags Elio to the tourist bureau to upgrade Rotom Dex. After which, Elio takes a group picture with Hau and Lillie using the new function. While on his island challenge through Melemele, Elio runs into the troublesome [[Team Skull]], a group of hooligans harassing people and interfering with the island life. He clears his first trial with [[Ilima]] and gets taught how to use [[Z-Move]]s from the professor. After finding Nebby who is lost in [[Melemele Meadow]], Elio defeats Hala in his first grand trial and travels with Lillie, Hau and Kukui to the island of Akala to proceed his island challenge.

====Trials on Akala Island====
On [[Akala Island]], Elio is asked by Lillie, who is currently staying at [[Heahea City]], to help her finding more about and protecting Nebby. On his island challenge, Elio runs into another rival, Team Skull's [[Gladion]], who seems to be berating Hau for how he battles and his strength. Elio defeats the Team Skull enforcer, and goes on with his island challenge, accomplishing [[Lana]], [[Kiawe]] and [[Mallow]]'s trials. Along the way, Elio visits [[Royal Avenue]], where he meets with [[Hapu]], a young Pokémon Trainer going on a small journey herself and [[Professor Kukui|The Masked Royal]], a masked wrestler who shows her how to perform in [[Battle Royal]]s at the [[Battle Royal Dome]], as well as [[Colress]], a scientist, on {{rt|8|alola}}. Elio makes his way back down to Heahea's Dimensional Research Lab ran by Kukui's wife, [[Professor Burnet]] to learn about her research on [[dimension]]s. Going through [[Diglett's Tunnel]], Elio has a reencounter with Kahuna [[Olivia]] who agrees to do a grand trial with Elio. During their travels on {{rt|9|alola}}, they meet [[Faba]] of the [[Aether Foundation]], after helping the organization with a problem, asks to meet them at the [[Hano Grand Resort]]. Elio faces off against Olivia in a grand trial, with the nearby Lillie and Nebby enjoying the battle. Hau informs Elio about their meet with Faba, to which Lillie declines. Faba brings both Hau and Elio on a tour of [[Aether Paradise]]. There, the duo meets [[Wicke]] and the company's president, [[Lusamine]], who explains her goals of protecting Pokémon. Elio protects Lusamine from a then {{p|Nihilego|unknown}} Pokémon called an [[Ultra Beast]], reaching the artificial island through an [[Ultra Wormhole]]. Under the guidance of Wicke, they are sent to [[Ula'ula Island]] and regroup with Professor Kukui and Lillie after the dangerous events that took place.

====Ula'ula Island====
Elio continues his island challenge, he is informed by Lillie to visit the professor at [[Malie Garden]] and come back. Lillie requests help with research at the [[Malie Library]]. There, Elio meets with Hapu again and is given access to a book in the library by a [[Trial Captain|Captain]], [[Acerola]]. After reading The Light of Alola, Elio rides the Exeggutor Express traveling up to [[Mount Hokulani]]'s [[Hokulani Observatory|observatory]] and he learns from Professor Kukui about the now developing {{al|Pokémon League}}. Returning to Malie Garden, Elio runs into [[Guzma]], Team Skull's Boss who thinks the Pokémon League and island challenge is unnecessary. Noticing his Z-Ring, Guzma picks a fight with Elio and shows him his strength. Elio regroups with Hau and travels down to [[Tapu Village]] to stay at [[Aether House]]. Along the way, they run into Gladion once more, aggressively telling the two to protect Cosmog at all costs if they know anything about it. Lillie gets attacked by a [[Team Skull Grunt]] after breaking away from Acerola and Hapu, to which Elio jumps in and protects the young lady. After finishing his sixth trial with Acerola, Elio sets out to [[Po Town]], Team Skull's base, to rescue a {{p|Yungoos}} who was living at the orphanage. This turns out to be a scheme conducted by Team Skull's Admin [[Plumeria]], who Elio has fought before, kidnapping Lillie and Nebby and brings them to Aether Paradise. Overhearing the conversation, Gladion forces Elio and Hau to come with him to the facility with certain that Lillie is there.

====Rescue at Aether Paradise====
The now hostile Aether Foundation attempts to prevent the group from finding out about information on Cosmog and Lillie. Elio goes to Aether's Secret Lab B, and learns more about Cosmog, it's origins, and professor [[Mohn]]. Regrouping with Hau and Gladion, Elio takes down Team Skull and rematching their leader once more before reaching the mansion where Lillie and Lusamine are kept. Elio finds out that the President of the Aether Foundation, is in fact the mother of both Lillie and Gladion; and has an obsession with Ultra Beasts. Lillie insists to her mother that Nebby will [[death in the Pokémon world|die]] if their power is misused. It is revealed Lusamine had ended up kidnapping Nebby, containing the Pokémon in a cage and been using its powers to unleash hordes of Ultra Beasts across the Alola region, ending with both her and Guzma traveling to [[Ultra Space]] after a battle. This process has caused Nebby to [[evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Cosmoem}} (although none of them seem to be aware of this). Under the guidance of Wicke, they stay at Aether Paradise for the night and the next day the group splits off, with Gladion giving Lillie the [[Moon Flute]]{{sup/7|S}}/[[Sun Flute]]{{sup/7|M}}.

====Poni Island====
With newfound courage, Elio and Lillie travel to [[Poni Island]]'s [[Seafolk Village]] to search for a way to find Lusamine and save Nebby. The two meet up with Hapu for the third time, and brings them to the [[Ruins of Hope]], watching her become the kahuna of Poni Island. Hapu tells them of a second flute, and a ritual to be performed on top of Poni's Altar. After a small journey through [[Exeggutor Island]], Elio grabs the counterpart of Lillie's flute and is met with Plumeria and Team Skull at [[Ancient Poni Path]], telling them to help Guzma. Elio finishes his last grand trial with Hapu, with the group of three proceeding through [[Vast Poni Canyon]]. At the end of the canyon, Elio completes the last of his seven trials, and is met with the [[Altar of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|S}}/[[Altar of the Moone]]{{sup/7|M}} where he and Lillie perform a ritual that causes Nebby to evolve into the [[Legendary Pokémon]] from the book in Malie: {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|S}}/{{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|M}}. Nebby takes them to [[Ultra Deep Sea|Ultra Space]] and Elio confronts and defeats Lusamine, who berates him for helping and befriending Lillie. After a final showdown against the Lusamine-Nihilego fusion, they're brought back to Alola by Nebby.

====Ending====
[[File:SM Ending Screen Male Default.png|thumb|300px|right|Elio and his friends]]
Nebby wishes to come with Elio and Lillie on more adventures, but Lillie insists on Elio catching Nebby, saying that he will be Nebby's father now. Lillie says goodbye after Elio has caught Nebby. After {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} Nebby, Elio is brought back to Tapu Village by [[Nanu]] and climbs to the summit of [[Mount Lanakila]] to take on Alola's newly established Pokémon League and [[Elite Four]]. His strength is tested by both Hau and Gladion, with words of good luck from Lillie before hand. After defeating the Elite Four, Elio is challenged by one person, the League's founder, Professor Kukui, ending in a win for Elio who is then declared as the first-ever {{pkmn|Champion}} of Alola. During the subsequent celebration in [[Iki Town]], Lillie takes Elio to the [[Ruins of Conflict]], where the newly crowned Champion faces Tapu Koko in battle in thanks for saving him and Nebby on Mahalo Trail. Lillie and Elio are then brought back to the festival and enjoy themselves. Lillie intends to tell Elio something, but gets stopped. The following day, Hau tells Elio of an emergency and that they need to go to the Marina in Hau'oli immediately. It turns out that Lillie is leaving Alola to go to Kanto, and Elio has to say goodbye. After seeing his friend leave, Professor Kukui brings Elio back home.

Elio appears in the credits on a photo on the end screen, a photo that he, Hau and Lillie all took at Hau'oli City from the start of their journey. This photo is a part of an animated sequence. This sequence has a package sitting next to Lillie's pink rucksack. The contents of this package include the photo (among many others) that Elio, Hau and Lillie took at Hau'oli City; Selene's trial amulet, and a letter to Lillie. A quote, "''Everyone's smiles shine so brightly. Those smiles led us to so many other people. And those meetings will lead us to a bright future. I'm so glad I got to meet everyone. I'm so glad I got to meet you.''" is displayed over an image of Lillie and Nebby before this sequence, it can be assumed that she is either talking about the player or Nebby. It is implied that Elio had taken all the other pictures found in the package.

====Post-game====
At the start of the day, Hau informs Elio of his victory with Hala, and gives him the two remaining Z-Crystals of the first partner Pokémon. Elio is then contacted by [[Looker]] and [[Anabel]] of the [[International Police]], who request his help in catching the Ultra Beasts unleashed into Alola due to Lusamine's actions. Elio agrees to this, successfully catching all the Ultra Beasts roaming around Alola. While learning about the Ultra Beasts, Elio soon finds out that he may be a [[Faller]], a person who has gone through Ultra Wormholes and were bathed in tremendous amounts of [[Z-Power]].

Elio eventually finds his way through the rest of Poni Island, gaining access to a [[Key Stone]] and [[Mega Evolution]] from a revisit with [[Dexio]] and [[Sina]], who he has met in Heahea City. At the end of Poni Island, he encounters the [[Battle Tree]] and meets [[Red (game)|Red]] and [[Blue (game)|Blue]], the Battle Tree's [[Battle Legend]]s.

At Aether Paradise, Elio meets up with Gladion, who is now the acting president of the Aether Foundation. Gladion thanks Elio for his help with his family, especially with Lillie, claiming that Lillie has never smiled so happily since she met Elio. Gladion rewards them with a {{p|Type: Null}}, and says he is looking forward to Alola's strong champion.

===Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon===
====Background and pre-game====
Like in the original Sun and Moon games, Elio is an 11-year-old boy who moved from Kanto to Alola with his mother. Sometime before his move to Alola, he has met [[Lt. Surge]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Vermilion City]], and got a signed [[Autograph]] from him. He put this autograph on a pedestal in his room.

During his travels, Elio encounters a group of strange pale people known as the [[Ultra Recon Squad]], who are later revealed to be working with the Aether Foundation. When Lillie and Nebby are kidnapped, Elio follows them and finds out that Lillie's mother, Lusamine, is seeking to travel to Ultra Recon Squad's home world to stop a Pokémon known as {{p|Necrozma}} before it can threaten Alola. He successfully uses Nebby's powers to travel to this alternate world, leaving Lillie and Elio to figure out how to follow her. They travel to Poni Island and perform a ritual that causes Nebby to evolve into the Legendary Pokémon Solgaleo{{sup/7|US}} or Lunala{{sup/7|UM}}. However, before Elio and Lillie can go after Lusamine, she's suddenly thrown out of an Ultra Wormhole before them, followed by Necrozma. Necrozma proceeds to battle and absorb Nebby, before traveling back to Ultra Space. With the Ultra Recon Squad's help, Elio travels to their home world of [[Ultra Megalopolis]], where he defeats Necrozma once again and saves Nebby.

After completing his last island challenge trial, Elio climbs Mount Lanakila to reach the newly established Pokémon League at its summit, re-encountering Necrozma along the way. After Elio has defeated the brand-new Alola Elite Four, Professor Kukui arrives and presents Hau as his final challenge before he can claim the championship. Elio successfully defeats Hau one last time, making him the first Champion of Alola.

Later, Elio assists the Ultra Recon Squad in catching some Ultra Beasts roaming around Poni Island. But no sooner has he returned home that he learns of an evil organization called [[Team Rainbow Rocket]] appearing in the region. The team takes over Aether Paradise, sets up [[Team Rocket's Castle|their base]] on it, and kindnaps Lusamine. Elio storms the base and takes down the members of Team Rainbow Rocket, including their leader, [[Giovanni]], saving Lusamine and making Team Rainbow Rocket leave Alola.
{{endspoilers}}

===Pokémon===
As the player character, Elio can have up to all 802{{sup/7|SM}}/807{{sup/7|USUM}} Pokémon available in the Alola games. He makes no NPC roles.

Due to being the player character, Elio is required to pick between {{p|Rowlet}}, {{p|Litten}} and {{p|Popplio}} as his first partner Pokémon in both Sun and Moon and Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. In Sun and Moon, Elio is required to capture [[Nebby]] at [[Poni Island|Poni]]'s altar. A battle against a wild [[Alolan form|Alolan]] {{p|Exeggutor}} on [[Exeggutor Island]] is required to be fought in the plot but is not required to be captured. In Sun and Moon, Elio is also required to take part in battle against {{p|Tapu Koko}}, and while not required to be caught, Lillie will offer unique dialogue upon capturing. In Sun and Moon's post-game, Elio is tasked to capture 5 of the 7 [[Ultra Beast]]s that appear.

In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Lillie and Nebby will appear on [[Mahalo Trail]] after the player meets with [[Ilima]] at [[Hau'oli Cemetery]]. If the event is activated, Nebby as either Solgaleo{{sup/7|US}} or Lunala{{sup/7|UM}} will be fought and required to be caught. In the post-game, Elio will be required to battle two {{p|Blacephalon}}{{sup/7|US}} or {{p|Stakataka}}{{sup/7|UM}} after being requested to by the [[Ultra Recon Squad]], although they do not need to be caught.

====Required in story====

'''Mallow''' (Japanese: '''マオ''' ''Mao'') is a student at the [[Pokémon School]] on [[Melemele Island]] and one of {{ashcl|Ash's former classmates}}. She debuted in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]''.

==History==
===Pre-series===
[[File:Young Mallow anime.png|250px|thumb|left|Mallow when she was younger]]
Mallow grew up in [[Hau'oli City]] in the [[Alola]] region with her parents and older brother, [[Ulu]], as her father, [[Abe]], ran a restaurant known as the [[Aina's Kitchen|family restaurant]]. However, Mallow didn't get to see her brother too often as he left to go on a cooking {{pkmn|journey}}.

As a toddler, Mallow had a walk with [[Mallow's mother|her mother]] in a forest on [[Melemele Island]] after her mother had just gotten out of a hospital for an unspecified illness. During the walk, they encountered a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Bounsweet}}, which Mallow found very cute. As such, her mother {{pkmn2|caught}} her and gave the Fruit Pokémon to her as both a {{pkmn2|gift}} and her [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]]. Instantly, Mallow and {{TP|Mallow|Bounsweet}} became friends and partners. However, her mother was soon forced to return to the hospital. Mallow eventually grew tired of her mother's endless apologies about her condition and yelled that she hated her, before running away. Soon after, Mallow's mother passed away due to her illness.

Sometime later, Mallow met {{an|Lana}} and befriended her after they had an adventure in a forest and met a resident {{p|Drampa}}, which was eventually [[nickname]]d [[Grandpa Forest]]. Years later, Mallow received a cookbook from Ulu with recipes of various dishes, which he found from old manuscripts while traveling. Eventually, Mallow enrolled at the [[Pokémon School]] with Lana where they became friends with their classmates, {{an|Kiawe}} and {{an|Sophocles}}. Mallow also knew [[Ilima]] before he graduated from the Pokémon School and left to study in the [[Kalos]] region. Later, Mallow befriended another classmate named {{an|Lillie}}.

===''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''===
Mallow debuted in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'', where she was seen riding a [[Poké Ride]] {{p|Tauros}} with her classmates Lana and {{an|Sophocles}} at the [[Pokémon School]]. She accidentally ran over {{Ash}} when he stumbled upon the school and, mistaking him for a new student, introduced him as such to her principal, [[Samson Oak]]. After the misunderstanding was cleared up, she decided to show Ash around the campus, introducing him to her teacher, {{an|Professor Kukui}}, along the way. She then witnessed Ash join {{an|Kiawe}} in a scuffle against some {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}}s, and was amazed by his and {{AP|Pikachu}}'s battle skills. Shortly after the battle, Ash saw the [[Guardian deities|guardian deity]] {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Koko}} in the sky, but it flew off before Mallow and the other students could see it.

In ''[[SM018|A Seasoned Search!]]'', she revealed that her top goal was to make the [[Aina's Kitchen]] the best in the world. In order to accomplish this, she had to recreate a special recipe to attract more customers, but the key ingredient, [[Yellow Nectar]], was out of season. After unsuccessfully using Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}} as a substitute, she set off in search of an {{p|Oricorio}} to help find the Yellow Nectar. During a fight with {{TRT}}, who tried to steal the Yellow Nectar, Bounsweet [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{TP|Mallow|Steenee}}, and she successfully recreated the secret recipe.

In ''[[SM039|Mallow and the Forest Teacher!]]'', Mallow had enough of being overworked by her father at the Kitchen, and ran away. She tripped on a rock and fell down a hill, injuring her knee. She was later found by an {{an|Oranguru}}, who helped her recover. Later, when {{TRT}} captured her Steenee, Oranguru helped save her just as Abe and her friends arrived. As Abe recognized the Oranguru from his past, Mallow reconciled with him and returned home.

From ''[[SM051|Family Determination!]]'' to ''[[SM054|10,000,000 Reasons to Fight!]]'', Mallow was among those who helped {{an|Lillie}} and {{an|Gladion}} in their mission to rescue their mother [[Lusamine]] after Lusamine was kidnapped by the [[Ultra Beast]] {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Nihilego}}. In [[Ultra Deep Sea]], her Steenee, along with [[Ash's Litten]] and {{AP|Rowlet}}, and Lana and Sophocles's {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, fought and overcame Lusamine's {{p|Mismagius}}, {{p|Milotic}}, and {{p|Lilligant}}, which were under Nihilego's control. The battle ended when Ash and Pikachu performed {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}} to defeat Nihilego, freeing Lusamine from its grasp.

[[File:Mallow Ultra Guardian Outfit.png|250px|thumb|Mallow in her Ultra Guardian uniform]]
In ''[[SM055|The Professors' New Adventure!]]'', Mallow attended the wedding of Professor Kukui and {{an|Professor Burnet}}. During the post-nuptials, Lusamine asked Mallow and her classmates to join the [[Ultra Guardians]], a task force dedicated to dealing with any upcoming Ultra Beast incidents, which they accepted.

As a part of the Ultra Guardians, Mallow and her Pokémon have been critical to the success of the group's missions. In ''[[SM061|A Mission of Ultra Urgency!]]'', Mallow and her classmates were given their first task, capturing a {{p|Buzzwole}} that emerged from an [[Ultra Wormhole]] onto Melemele Island and began causing havoc.

In ''[[SM072|Sours for the Sweet!]]'', Mallow prepared to enter the [[Alola Bread Festival]] with her father. Due to Abe's back problems, he couldn't enter, but Mallow was saved by the arrival of her brother, Ulu. Together, they entered the competition, but an incident led to Ulu accidentally losing the Berries they were going to use to a Snorlax. With the assistance of her friends and Steenee, Mallow successfully made sweet bread without the Berries, successfully winning the competition. However, by that point, Ulu had left to go on another journey.

In ''[[SM082|All They Want to Do is Dance Dance!]]'', Mallow and Steenee started practicing for a Pokémon dance in class. When the day of the dance came, Mallow and the others were captured by Team Rocket, except for Steenee, who was doing some last-minute practicing. Mallow witnessed Steenee learn {{m|Stomp}} and subsequently evolve into Tsareena. Thanks to Tsareena, the group was freed and Team Rocket was sent blasting off.

In ''[[SM087|Filling the Light with Darkness!]]'', mysterious dark clouds appeared over the Alola region, causing all of the adults in Alola to lose their energy and motivation. The next day, Mallow and her classmates embarked on their fifth mission, to investigate the situation at the [[Altar of the Sunne]]. Shortly after arriving, Lusamine revealed that Gladion would be joining them as a new member. In order to disperse the clouds, Lana, Kiawe, Ash, and Gladion combined their Z-Power to fuel a device that successfully made the clouds disappear, but they uncovered a hidden Ultra Wormhole in the process. Afterwards, Lusamine took the Ultra Guardians into the ruins, where she showed them a mural depicting the "{{p|Necrozma|Blinding One}}". Before they could translate the mural, the Ultra Guardians were forced to return outside, where they found the wormhole increasing in size. At that moment, a {{an|Lunala}} emerged from the wormhole with a {{an|Necrozma}} chasing after it. The group was eventually able to solve the unfolding crisis in ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', where they, their Pokémon, Lunala, {{AP|Poipole}}'s friends, and everyone else back in Alola shared their Z-Power with Necrozma, causing it to release [[Nebby]]. After Ash and Gladion used Nebby and Lunala to replenish Necrozma's strength to revert it to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|true form}}, it restored Poipole's home world back to its original state. Afterwards, the Ultra Guardians, Nebby, and Lunala traveled back to Alola through the Ultra Wormhole.
[[File:Mallow and her mother.png|250px|left|thumb|Mallow and her mother]]
In ''[[SM104|That's Some Spicy Island Research!]]'', Mallow and her classmates arrived on Poni Island for their individual research projects for school. Her research project was to focused on how to make dishes with Poni Island radishes. In ''[[SM107|Run, Heroes, Run!]]'', Mallow succeeded in making the radish-based dishes. She eventually brought them to [[Hapu]] for her to taste.

In ''[[SM108|Memories in the Mist!]]'', Mallow became depressed after learning of {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Fini}}'s ability to reunite people with the souls of the deceased. After being comforted by Lana, Mallow admitted she didn't want to see her mother, as she felt guilty about declaring her hatred of her shortly before she passed away. Later, at Hapu's house, Tapu Fini filled the area with mist, causing Mallow to get separated from the others. Mallow was visited by the spirit of her mother, and promptly apologized to her for her past actions. After the mist cleared and her mother's spirit faded away, Mallow encountered a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{TP|Mallow|Shaymin}}, which had been attracted to the feelings of gratitude Mallow expressed during her apology, and decided to take it in until it was time for it to fly off.
[[File:Mallow Z-Ring anime.png|thumb|250px|Mallow after receiving her Z-Ring]]
In ''[[SM121|A Recipe for Success!]]'', Mallow visited Oranguru at [[Oranguru's place|its forest café]] to get some [[Big Mushroom]]s for her family's restaurant. After learning that Pokémon visited the café in addition to humans, Mallow decided to help Oranguru serve customers and lessen its workload. One of the customers was {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Koko}}, who she fed with a burger made from Poni Island radishes. Tapu Koko enjoyed its meal and gave Mallow a [[Grassium Z]] as a reward before leaving. As she reflected on her day, she decided to make [[Aina's Kitchen]] a restaurant for both humans and Pokémon. As thanks for helping it, Oranguru gave Mallow the Big Mushrooms she wanted, as well as a worn-out [[Z-Ring]]. Later, Mallow returned home and had her new Z-Ring repaired by [[Olivia]], making her the final member of Professor Kukui's class to receive a Z-Ring.

In ''[[SM129|Battle Royal 151!]]'', Mallow was among the 151 Trainers taking part in the [[Battle Royal]] preliminary round of the [[Manalo Conference]]. Using Shaymin, Mallow was among the 16 Trainers still standing at the end of the round. The match-ups for the next round revealed that she would be battling Lana.

In ''[[SM130|Battling Besties!]]'', Mallow faced Lana in the first round of the Manalo Conference. Despite having the type advantage, Mallow struggled against Lana, and it came to the point where she tried to forfeit, but Tsareena refused to be [[recall]]ed and wanted to continue battling on her side. Lana encouraged Mallow to keep on battling as well, and as Mallow looked at Tsareena, she remembered all of the times they had spent together. This restored her confidence, and she decided to respect her partner's choice to continue battling. Soon after, they were able to successfully execute a {{m|Bloom Doom}}, which was countered by [[Lana's Primarina]]'s {{m|Oceanic Operetta}}. Then, after stumbling from exhaustion, Tsareena was defeated by Primarina's {{m|Aqua Jet}}, eliminating Mallow from the tournament.

In ''[[SM139|Enter the Champion!]]'', Mallow attended the award ceremony for Ash's victory in the Manalo Conference, only for it to be interrupted when a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Manalo Stadium Guzzlord|Guzzlord}} arrived at the stadium through a wormhole. In ''[[SM140|Z-Move Showdown!]]'', Mallow helped evacuate innocent civilians to safety. When a second, {{Shiny}} {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Shiny Guzzlord|Guzzlord}} appeared in the shopping area, Mallow, Lillie, Lana, and Sophocles helped Kiawe, Gladion, and [[Hau]] battle it. By combining their Z-Moves into one giant attack, Mallow and the others managed to successfully knock the Shiny Guzzlord back into Ultra Space.

[[File:Mallow Family.png|thumb|left|250px|Mallow with her father and Ulu]]
In ''[[SM145|Dreams of the Sun and Moon!]]'', with the Alola League over, Mallow and her classmates returned to their usual routine at the Pokémon School. When asked what she planned on doing for the upcoming vacation, Mallow revealed that she planned on renewing Aina's Kitchen so it could accommodate both people and Pokémon. She later invited everyone to a party at her family restaurant, where she allowed her friends' Pokémon to taste-test the new Pokémon menu.

In ''[[SM146|Thank You, Alola! The Journey Continues!]]'', Lillie revealed she would be leaving on a journey with Gladion and Lusamine to find her missing father, [[Mohn]], with the help of the {{p|Magearna}} she awakened. The next day, Mallow and the others said farewell to Lillie, taking one last photo with her before she and her family left on a cruise ship. As he flew back home, Ash was greeted by his classmates and Alolan Pokémon, who flew by in their Ultra Guardians uniforms to give him one final farewell. Sometime after the others left for their vacations, Mallow was greeted by Ulu, who had finished his cooking journey. With the [[Gracidea]]s Ulu brought with him, Shaymin changed into its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Shaymin|Sky Forme}}. Mallow bid farewell to Shaymin, thanking it for the time it spent with her before it flew away with three other Sky Forme Shaymin.

===''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''===
[[File:Mallow JN.png|thumb|250px|Mallow in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'']]
In ''[[JN037|That New Old Gang of Mine!]]'', Mallow helped organize a welcome party for Ash and [[Goh]] when they came to visit Alola. She later joined her classmates in watching a battle between Goh and Kiawe.

In ''[[JN112|Helping the Hometown Hero!]]'', Mallow attended a party to celebrate the return of Lillie and her family to Alola after they found Mohn, reuniting with Lillie, Ash, and Goh and meeting [[Chloe]]. The next day, Mallow watched a [[Battle Royal]] match between Ash, Kiawe, Gladion, and Professor Kukui.

In ''[[JN131|Paring Pokémon While Parrying!]]'' and ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Mallow was seen watching Ash's [[Masters Eight Tournament]] match against {{an|Leon}} at the [[Pokémon School]].

==Character==
[[File:Mallow and Z-Ring.png|thumb|left|250px|Mallow and her Z-Ring]]
Mallow is an upbeat and friendly girl who gets along well with her classmates at the [[Pokémon School]]. She admits herself to be so energetic that she sometimes misses important details and jumps to the wrong conclusions. She has a firm sense of right and wrong, such as her distaste for [[Team Skull]]'s bullying of other students. Much like {{an|Brock}}, {{an|Cilan}}, and {{an|Clemont}}, she is also a talented cook for both people and Pokémon, and as such is a self-proclaimed poster girl at her family's restaurant, [[Aina's Kitchen]].
[[File:Lillie and Mallow.png|thumb|250px|Mallow and Lillie]]
Mallow is shown to be very good friends with {{an|Lillie}}. This was demonstrated in ''[[SM008|Lillie's Egg-xhilarating Challenge!]]'', when she completed her chores early and headed over to see how she was getting on with the {{pkmn|Egg}}; in ''[[SM014|Getting to Know You!]]'', when she dragged {{Ash}} along to see how she and [[Snowy]] were getting along; and in ''[[SM029|Lulled to La-La Land!]]'', when she defended Lillie after {{Rotom}} accused her of being the culprit for making everyone hungry.
[[File:Young Mallow Lana.png|thumb|250px|left|Mallow with Lana when they became friends]]
Mallow is also supportive of her best friend {{an|Lana}}. This was demonstrated in ''[[SM016|They Might Not Be Giants!]]'', when she showed up to watch how {{TP|Lana|Popplio}}'s balloons were doing and explained to Rotom why Lana was acting the way she was whenever she was separated from Popplio. This was seen again in ''[[SM040|Balloons, Brionne, and Belligerence!]]'', when she showed up to watch how her and Popplio perform {{m|Hydro Vortex}}.

Mallow is a fan of {{type|Grass}} Pokémon, as evident in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'', when she excitedly greeted a {{p|Vileplume}} and two {{p|Gloom}} and called them cute. Mallow has shown to be secretive of what had happened to her [[Mallow's mother|mother]], as shown in ''[[SM024|Alolan Open House!]]'', where she lied about both of her parents being busy and in ''[[SM048|Night of a Thousand Poses!]]'' where she talked about [[Sima]], when her other classmates talked about their own mothers. In ''[[SM108|Memories in the Mist!]]'', it was revealed that she harbors deep regret for snapping at her mother shortly before she passed away from an illness. Mallow only likes to speak to Lana about her mother's death. At the end of the episode, Mallow overcomes her guilt when she is briefly reunited with her mother's spirit in {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Fini}}'s mist.

Mallow has shown to have a way of knowing what her family and friends need, and would help them in any way she can; in addition, she is also protective of her friends and Pokémon. Mallow has a tendency to lose her composure when pushed into a corner, often doubting herself. However, Mallow would pick herself back up through the help of her friends. This is shown when making a meal for Tapu Koko while working at [[Oranguru's place]] in ''[[SM121|A Recipe for Success!]]'' and perfecting {{m|Bloom Doom}} with Tsareena during her battle with Lana at the [[Manalo Conference]] in ''[[SM130|Battling Besties!]]''.

==Pokémon==
[[File:Mallow and her Pokémon.png|thumb|250px|Mallow with Tsareena and Shaymin]]
Like {{an|Cilan}}, Mallow mostly specialized in {{type|Grass}} Pokémon. Mallow also has her Pokémon help in her cooking and at her families restaurant. Her {{TP|Mallow|Tsareena}} is both her only and strongest Pokémon. However, Mallow took the mythical Pokémon {{TP|Mallow|Shaymin}} under her care and became her second Pokémon until it changed into its Sky Forme and fly away. Although she has shown to have skills in Pokémon battles, Mallow doesn't have a lot of experience like most of her classmates do.

'''Professor Samuel Oak''' (Japanese: '''オーキド・ユキナリ博士''' ''Dr. Yukinari Ohkido'') is a [[Pokémon Professor]] who lives and works at his [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|research lab]] in [[Pallet Town]] of the [[Kanto]] [[region]].

==Terminology==
In the Japanese version, Professor Oak's given name '''ユキナリ''' (''Yukinari'') first appeared in "Pocket Monsters Zukan", a guidebook published by Aspect. The given name had later appeared in various media such as [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], [[Pocket Monsters: The Animation]], the [[M04|fourth Pokémon movie]], and [[Pokémon Adventures]], before it was confirmed as his canon name in the core series with [[Samson Oak]] mentioning it in {{pkmn|Sun and Moon}}.<ref>'''[[Samson Oak/Quotes|Samson Oak]]''': ''"Oh, that cousin of mine in Kanto... He and I look remarkably alike, or so everyone always says. He's Samuel Oak, though."'' ({{game4|SMUSUM}}</ref>

==In the core series games==
Professor Oak works in [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|his Laboratory]] in [[Pallet Town]] with his aides. He gives {{ga|Red}} and {{ga|Blue}} their [[first partner Pokémon]] in {{game3|Red and Blue|Pokémon Red, Blue|s}}, {{game3|Red and Green|Green|s}}, {{v2|Yellow}}, {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. In the last pair of games, he also grants the {{player}} the [[National Pokédex]] once they've caught at least 60 Pokémon. He is an idol to many Trainers and researchers, including [[Professor Elm]], and always plays an important supporting role in the many games that he appears in.

He was a childhood friend of [[Agatha]]. They remained good friends and top-class Pokémon Trainers until Oak stopped battling and became interested in Pokémon research. Agatha said that he became soft and started to regard him as a fool. However, Oak still affiliates with the [[Pokémon League]] as an adviser. In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], during her [[Sync pair|Sync Pair]] Story "A Day with Agatha", {{mas|Agatha}} explains how she and Oak met. Oak was always friendly and open when he was young and would talk to Agatha and try to help her. Though he was only trying to be nice, it still annoyed Agatha because she wanted to be left alone. Agatha would battle Oak to try and get him to go away, but he was always better than her, and so she would battle him again and again. Eventually, the time they spent together began to mean a lot to Agatha. As a result, when Oak got the idea to invent the [[Pokédex]] and subsequently stopped battling, Agatha felt betrayed.

In his own Pokémon Masters EX Sync Pair Story, "A Day With Professor Oak", {{mas|Professor Oak}} reveals that his trusted Pokémon partner is a {{p|Nidorino}}.

[[File:HGSS Prerelease Mr Pokemon House.png|thumb|200px|Oak with {{ga|Ethan}} and Mr. Pokémon in [[Generation IV]]]]
Professor Oak was always well known in [[Kanto]], but in [[Generation II]] and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, he becomes more of a celebrity, a "star Pokémon Researcher". He became famous in [[Johto]] because of his Radio Show with [[DJ Mary]]. He was going to turn down the show at first, but Mary's energy and persistence wore him down. {{ga|Ethan}}/{{ga|Kris}}/{{ga|Lyra}} first meets him visiting the home of [[Mr. Pokémon]], another of Oak's childhood friends. Later he grants the young Trainer access to [[Mt. Silver]], a place which only the finest Pokémon Trainers may enter, after the player has earned all the Badges in Johto and later Kanto. In the [[remake]]s, he also gives the player the National Pokédex after they've entered the [[Hall of Fame]], gives them {{HM|08|Rock Climb}} once they've earned all 16 [[Badge]]s, allows them to choose one of the Kanto [[first partner Pokémon]] once they've beaten Red, and hands over the [[Jade Orb]] if the player has caught both {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} at the [[Embedded Tower]].

Professor Oak has many old friends. One of them is [[Kurt]], a [[Poké Ball]] smith from [[Azalea Town]], and another is Professor Elm, who used to be Oak's assistant. In fact, there is a picture on Kurt's wall saying "...a young Prof Oak?" and an email addressed to him from Professor Elm can be found in his lab:
:"''...
:''<sc>Prof. Oak</sc>, how is your research
:''coming along? I'm still plugging
:''away. I heard rumors
:''that {{player|<player>}} is
:''getting quite a reputation.
:''I'm delighted to hear that.
:''<sc>Elm</sc> in <sc>[[New Bark Town]]</sc> 8-)''"

Professor Oak has many fans and admirers. One of them is {{tc|School Kid|Schoolboy}} Chad, who frequently calls the player to share trivia about Oak.

Professor Oak is also a good friend of [[Professor Rowan]]. He visits [[Sinnoh]] often, has a home in [[Eterna City]], introduces Trainers to [[Pal Park]]{{sup/4|DPPt}}/[[Ramanas Park]]{{sup/8|BDSP}}, and gives them the National Pokédex, as well as the [[Upgrade|Up-Grade]], [[Poké Radar]], and the {{DL|Pokétch|Trainer Counter}} app for their [[Pokétch]]. [[Oak's Letter|A letter]] that he sends to the player in a special event allows the player to find {{p|Shaymin}}. An aide in Rowan's laboratory mentions that Oak is Rowan's junior in terms of seniority. In {{v2|Platinum}}, after providing the Up-Grade, Professor Oak will talk about the [[legendary birds]] and say that they have been sighted in [[Sinnoh]]. From this point {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} will be visible roaming on the map.

Professor Oak also appears in {{LGPE}}, where he serves the same role for {{ga|Chase}}/{{ga|Elaine}} and {{ga|Trace}} that he originally served for Red and Blue. He originally has two first partner Pokémon to give to them, but after the player catches their own {{OBP|partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}}, the third Pokémon goes unrevealed.

{{main|Unused Trainer data#Prof. Oak|Unused Trainer data → Prof. Oak}}
[[File:PkmnProfWantsToFight.png|thumb|160px|Professor Oak, who cannot normally be battled]]
Unused Trainer data for Prof. Oak (Japanese: '''{{j|オーキドせんせい}}''' ''Teacher Oak'') exists in all Generation I games.

Prof. Oak has data for three different teams using different first partner Pokémon, with each Pokémon being [[level]] 66-70, higher than Blue's {{pkmn|Champion}} battle team. It is possible he was meant to be a late-game opponent, perhaps similar to Red in [[Generation II]].

He can be battled by exploiting certain [[glitch]]es.

As thanks for Professor Oak's rescue of Satoshi, Satoshi went to his lab and chose Charmander as his first partner Pokémon, due to it saving him earlier. Shigeru, Satoshi's rival, chose Squirtle, which made Professor Oak keep {{p|Bulbasaur}}, as he would have been too lonely otherwise.

In ''[[PZ05|Celadon City]]'', it was revealed that Professor Oak is taking care of {{OBP|Shigeru|Zensho}} and [[Daisy Oak]] since their parents died in a car crash. He was last seen in ''[[PZ10|Indigo Plateau]]'', telling Satoshi and Shigeru about a {{p|Mewtwo|rare Pokémon}} that dwells in [[Cerulean Cave|a cave]].

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Professor Oak appears as a random trophy wearing his regular clothing from the anime.

====Trophy information====
''The leading expert on the study of Pokémon. It seems there are always new and mysterious species of Pokémon being brought to light, and Professor Oak is at the heart of it all with his insightful research. The Pokédex is one of his inventions: new Trainers receive one, and a Pokémon to boot, when they start out.''

==Trivia==
* Professor Oak has appeared in the most [[generation]]s of any Pokémon Professor, appearing in Generation I and their Generation III and VII remakes as the regional professor and making cameo appearances in Generations II, IV, and the Generation IV remakes in Generation VIII.
* If the player speaks to Professor Oak in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} and has their Pokédex evaluated with at least 484 of the 493 Pokémon caught, he will say "Meeting you is something '''l''' will cherish all my life long.", using a lowercase L instead of an uppercase I.
* Professor Oak is the only person to give the player their Pokédex in more than one [[region]], doing so in both [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]].
